Walk The Line Page #4

I think this is the best show

we've ever done.

Hell, it might be the best show

I've ever seen.

No kidding!

Where are you?

Texarkana.

Baby, I miss you.

Hey, do you hear Orbison

doing our song?

He turned it into

a two-step, listen.

You hear that?

Oh, damn it!

- What's the matter?

Damn it!

Oh, it's Roseanne.

She just ran her head

into the table.

Roseanne!

Roseanne, here, talk to Daddy.

Hey, Roseanne.

Hey, it's Daddy.

Honey, don't, don't cry.

Daddy's going to be home real soon.

- John, I have to go.

- Huh?

I have to go, John.

Bye.

You're sounding

good tonight, Cash.

Real tight.

Oh, thanks, man.

You want some chili fries?

Oh, no, that's all right.

She's been in the spotlight

since you and me

was bitin' ankles.

They say Maybelle

had a crib at the Ryman...

so she could pull her out

and let her whoop and holler

and pop her back in

to go to sleep.

We're leaving

in an hour, John.

All right.

Aw, that's a sweet story, honey.

No.

Within, like, five minutes.

All right.

Everything else

all right?

Okay.

I love you, too.

Bye-bye.

How you doing?

Bye.

Coffee?

Yeah, and some toast, please.

Hey.

- Hey, how are you?

- Good. Do you mind?

No, not at all.

Did you lose your voice?

I did.

I was just singing my

heart out up there.

I've got to ask you how

you came up with that sound.

What sound?

That sound everybody's

talking about.

Steady like a train,

sharp like a razor.

Well, we'd play

faster if we could.

I guess it just...

come out like that.

I got to close my register.

Oh, yeah, sure.

Thank you.

Here's a picture

of my wife, Viv...

- my baby, Roseanne.

- Oh, look at her.

She's beautiful.

Thanks. Got another one

on the way.

- I got a little girl, too.

- Yeah?

Her name's Carlene, yeah.

She's about the same age.

You know when I was

in the service...

I used to look at

pictures of you...

you know, in magazines.

Oh.

No... no, it

wasn't like that.

I mean, I... I liked

your music, you know?

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

I mean, I... you were,

well, you are...

I mean, l-I kept

track of you.

You and

your family.

I listened to your voice

my whole life, you know?

Me and my brother, Jack...

we always listened

to your songs.

Like "Swallerin' Place."

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

We liked it when

you'd sing one alone.

Well, you and Jack

are the only ones.

What do you mean?

I'm not really much

of a singer, Johnny.

I mean, I got a lot

of personality, I got sass...

I give it my all,

but my sister Anita's

really the one

who's got the pipes.

Well, who said that?

Everybody.

My mama, my daddy.

That's how come I learned

to be funny...

so I'd have something

to offer.

Well... parents
