Not tomorrow,

it's my first date with Lester T.

Sh*t!

Why does these things

always happen to me?

How do you suppose we

get on over there?

Ask to borrow your mum's Buick.

Who told you, she's not gonna

let me borrow her car.

Tell her you're on a hunt

for a better job.

She's never gonna believe that.

You just lie to her, Joe.

That's all, you have

to lie to her.

Juanita, what do you think

about these decoration?

It's very nice!

Well, I busted my gut

all strung up here.

I'm going over to Luke's

and be right back.

What you want?

Mortadela and cheese and...

-Don't forget the bread!

-Alright.

Hey, Juanita?

Our bus is pulling up now.

Oh, that darn fool of a bus broke

down in the middle of nowhere.

It took them forever to repaied.

Well, you look like something

the cat may have dragged it.

Thank you, Juanita.

You look stressed,

why don't you go over there and sit down?

Are you as excited

and nervous as I am?

I could hardly contain myself

that whole weekend long in Marfa,

just thinking about it.

20 years ago tonight.

Oh, my God, it seems like

only yesterday, don't not it?

When that fatal crash,

took away his life.

Juanita...

Do you think it is possible,

you can stop that slap for 5 seconds?

Thank you.

What is that?

What is that!?

This what I think it is?

Oh, my goodness sake!

It's the old club jacket!

-Where on earth did you dig this up from?

-Well, Stella May brought it in...

Stella May?

Oh my goodness, I just let the

cat right on out of the bag!

Stella May here?

Stella May?

My goodness sake!

Stella May? Stella May?

-How many of the others come?

-Stella May and...Edna Louise!

Edna Louise come too?

Don't you let on like I told you though,

cause they want to surprise you.

I promise, Juanita.

I was worried that they

might not all remember.

Oh, I really should've sent them all

those little tiny, what do you call,

those little reminder cards,

do not you think?

Lord, how would you ever know

where to find half of them?

I know.

They did scatter off every which way

the first chance they got, didn't they?

I remember the day that

we took this picture,

and I recall it,

like it was yesterday.

Stella May sticking out her tongue

and she is making that awful silly face.

I swear, she never could

be serious.

Sue Ellen had them

curler things in her hair,

and she tried to hide

behind Martha.

That was the very last time the

entire club was all together as one.

Certainly hope we'll all be able

recognize each other.

Would that be an awful thing?

I'm sure they'll all remember,

how could they have forgotten such a

devoted promise like that on was.

You alright?

It's my heart.
