Sweet Home Alabama Page #4

Synopsis: Melanie Carmichael, an up and rising fashion designer in New York, has gotten almost everything she wished for since she was little. She has a great career and the JFK-like fiancée of New York City. But when he proposes to her, she doesn't forget about her family back down South. More importantly, her husband back there, who refuses to divorce her ever since she sent divorce papers seven years ago. To set matters straight, she decides to go to the south quick and make him sign the papers. When things don't turn out the way she planned them, she realizes that what she had before in the south was far more perfect than the life she had in New York City.

God, always running for office.

I'm only thinking of you.|Say, um...

do you happen to have the Carmichaels'|number down there in Greenville?

I thought perhaps|I should introduce myself.

I would like to meet them first,|if you don't mind.

You do realize the press|is going to be all over this.

Happy couples don't sell.

So if there are any skeletons|in her closet, Andrew,...

we need to know about them.

You make clothes, right?

I design them.|There's a big difference.

Did you design anything|with stripes?

You called the sheriff?!

You know that old bastard|hates me!

For good reason!

Well, hell's bells, if|it ain't Felony Melanie.

Wade!

Hot damn, girl,|do we miss you around here!

Hey, I think I saw poor, old|Fuzz just the other day.

Oh, God,|you had to bring that up.

I can't believe|you're the sheriff!

Yep, I get to frisk pretty|little things like you all day...

and get paid for it.

Wade, can you try and be|a little more professional?

We got us a crime suspect here.

Now, Melanie, you can't just go|breaking into people's houses.

I didn't break in, Wade.|I used a key...

my key.

Well, it still ain't your house, darlin'.|I'm gonna have to escort you out.

Use the cuffs, Wade, please?

If you get him to sign these,|I'll let you run me out of town.

Now, that's none of your concern.

Well, what do we got here?

A bill of divorcement?

Hell, boy, I thought you said|you took care of this.

And I thought I had.

Obviously not.

Well, if you two are still|married, it's her house, too.

This here ain't nothin'|but a domestic dispute.

He didn't hit you, did he?

If he took a swing at you,|I'll take him in right now.

We take that stuff|pretty serious nowadays.

No, Wade,|Jake's never hit me.

You know what?

I don't have a single childhood memory|that doesn't have you two in it.

And that includes the night|I lit my ass on fire. Remember?

Wade...

Memory Lane is closed.

Ah, boy, you two got a whole lot|of catchin' up to do...

so I'm just gonna|leave you to it.

Man, I set you up with|your wife. You owe me one!

Why won't you just|sign the papers?!

There is nothin' I can do.

The law is the law,|and she has done nothin' wrong.

I suppose shoplifting steaks|at Winn-Dixie's okay.

I took 'em back,|and you know it!

You remember that vandalism out|at the stockyard? Totally her!

Like I could tip a cow|by myself.

Wade... isn't there|some outstanding warrant

for whoever dumped your mama's|tractor in the fishpond?

We only have 10 of these, and|it's gonna be gone for good.

So if you are loving|this monster...

We have eight only?

If I knew how to say that in|Italian, I would, but I don't.

If you love this...
