Walk The Line Page #5

aren't always

the best judge

of things...

if you want

my opinion.

So how long you on the tour?

Another couple

of weeks.

We just got

on board, but...

I tell you it feels

like a lot longer.

I'm sure.

I'm headed off,

I'm going to the Ryman.

Why don't you tell

your brother, Jack, to tune in...

and I'll

sing him something.

What does he like?

Oh, that's-that's sweet,

but, uh, he passed.

I'm sorry.

Were y'all real close?

Yeah.

Yeah, he's, uh...

It's funny, I ain't talked about

Jack in a long time, you know?

After he died, I...

I talked about him all the time...

but, uh... I guess people

grew tired of it.

So I just stopped.

John?

You're tired,

aren't you?

Yeah.

It'll slow down.

It will.

I better get going.

It's good to talk to you.

You, too.

Take care.

I'll see you soon.

You better tune in...

I'm going to sing you

that "Swallerin' Place."

I will, I

really will.

Okay.

That's fine, that's perfect.

Yes, ma'am.

When was the last time you heard him

moving around in there?

I don't know.

Thought you were going

to help me today, John.

You head out tomorrow.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Better start living life

here with us when you come home...

before you have to leave again.

Hey, you know, I was thinking.

You know, maybe I could get Bob

to push my dates.

I'm happy

when I'm here.

I like waking up

and seeing your face.

John, those bags over there?

Hmm.

Those letters in there

are ten to one from girls.

Ten to one, and they're obscene.

Reba's been trying

to answer some of them...

but, you know,

half of them ain't even 15...

and they are sending pictures

of themselves in bathing suits.

Pictures for you to look at

while you're doing time

at Folsom.

Oh, Viv.

This one girl,

she sent you...

Viv, you know, don't even read

those letters, you know...

It's just crazy right now,

that's all.

You know?

Hell, you should have seen

last week.

We was at the fair, and, uh...

this bus full of 4H girls

pulls up, you know...

and they come piling

out of there...

and they go running

and screaming

after Carl and Roy,

I mean running.

John... I have a casserole

in the oven and your sister

in the kitchen, and I don't want

to talk about the tour.

Viv, you're the one who brought it up.

In fact,

that's my new rule.

When you come home,

I want to get

right down to talking

about regular things.

Viv, don't give

me no rules.

All I got are rules.

All I got is to be at this place

at this time.

I'm trying to go there,

and I'm trying to be back here

and spend time

with you and the kids...

and write songs, do this-

I mean, what do you want

from me, all right?

I got you your dream house,

all of your things...
