Fire! Fire in the hole!
Fire in the hole.!

Let's get it, boys. Always loads easy on payday.
[Train Chugging]
[Whistle]
Hi, Daddy.
Look at your knee. Why didn't you wear your knee pads?
Hi, Loretty. That ol' shaft's so low,
you wear knee pads, you skin your back.
You don't wear 'em, you skin your knees.
I'll wear 'em tomorrow. Give my back a turn.
Boys, there ain't no place this thing can't take me.
There ain't a creek she can't ford, a gully she can't jump or a hill she can't climb.
I know a thing that you can't climb. That heap o' red dog.
Hell, Buddy, I can climb that damn mess in a by-God New York minute.
Hey! You boys watch your language in front o' these kids.
All right,
does anybody wanna bet me I can't climb that mess? That great pile up there?
Hell, yes! Right up... aw, sorry, little girl.
Can't be done. I got me $25 that says I can do it.
Does anybody wanna bet me? I'll take all bets.
Okay, c'mon, kids. Let's get to the store.
[In Unison] Give the company their money back.
Loretta. C'mon, honey.
Howdy, Ted. Hey, Carl.
Who's that soldier boy struttin' around like a banty rooster?
That's ol' man Red Lynn's boy, Doolittle.
Come back from the army actin' like a wild heathen.
He'll calm down as soon as they slap a coal shovel in his hand.
Yeah.
That Sears Roebuck I ordered come in? Yeah, I'll get it for you.
All right, here we go.
Loretty, get you and Herman a jar of vyannies, honey. Great!
[Yelling, Cheering]
Hey, cousin Ted, c'mon get in on this bet.
It's a sure thing.
Doolittle will never get up there without killin' hisself.
Lord o' mercy. That son-of-a-gun Doolittle don't know what quit means.
He sure went to a lot of trouble to get on top of a pile of junk.
[Ted] C'mon, Herman.
Mommy, Daddy's home.!
Whatta you got in that box?
[Ted] Somethin'special.
Don't open it 'til we get inside.
Y'all get washed up before you come in.
Y'all hear your mama?
Everybody go wash now. C'mon.!
[Clicking]
Lee Dollarhide?
Come on in here, Doo.
I was just about to blast you one.
OI' boy down at the store said you wanted to see me.
Here... take you a sip.
Okay, fellas.
For Donald Ray.
Jack.
Hand that to brother Jack. Thank you.
[Ted] How do they feel, gang?
Peggy got two right feet, I mean two right shoes.
Well, I'll be darn. Don't worry.
We'll get 'em changed.
Loretta.
Get your hands off.
Leave 'em alone, Donald Ray.!
[Gasp]
Daddy. [Baby Crying]
How come she gets somethin' extra?
Jack, Loretta's gettin' to be a woman.
Goin'on fourteen. Women s'pose to have pretty things.
She ain't nothin' but a dad-burned kid!
What are you, Herman?
[Laughter]
'Member when you used to work for me?
Sellin' my goods down at the mine?
You used to pay me a nickel every jug I sold.
How'd you like to come back?
Not for no nickel a jug!
I'm talkin' 'bout real money, Doo.
Business is good, see? I'm sellin' more whiskey than I can make.
I heard you'd been stealin' from boys over in Greasy Creek.
Just when I run shy o'my own.
I'm fixin' to make me another run on Greasy Creek.
You got that jeep.
You know how to use a gun and you can use you a job.
I'll go fifty-fifty with you.
Doo,
if you're born in the mountains, you got three choices.
Coal mine, moonshine,
or movin' on down the line.
[music]I'm walkin'the floor over you [music]
[music]I can't sleep a wink that is true [music]
Get your feet off!
Turn the radio off!
We can't afford no new batteries.
You got one of your bad headaches again?
Want me to mix up some medicine?
It don't do no good. It'll pass.
Whatcha see in them grounds, Mommy?
Loretty, take the baby.
I see a woman cryin'.
Looks to me like a man cryin' too. Who are they?
[Baby Crying] Loretty.
What are they cryin' about, Mommy?
Take the baby out and rock her, Loretty!
Bad times is a-comin'.
Well, we don't need no fortune-teller to know that.

[Music] In the pines [music]
[Shotgun Blast]
Good thing you wasn't still workin' for him, son.
You'd be laying there aside him. I know that, Daddy.
'Course, if you had been workin' for him, at least you'd been workin'.
You're out! That's all right, you did fine.
[Indistinct]
Preacher Banks was supposed to be here to auction these pies.
He's sick and I can't do it. I sure can't take no time.
Besides, if these girls wanna eat pies with a boy,
they'll do it whether there's an auction or not.
Lady, I'll auction off them pies for you.
You will? I sure will.
Got six bits right there. Who's gonna bid a dollar?
I will.! We got a dollar. It's a dollar, one time.
Boys, that's a dollar, twice.
That's sold right there for a dollar!
Gimme that dollar. Thank you.
Y'all got one more pie left.
It's a chocolate pie belong to... Loretta Webb.
Who's gonna bid first?
I bid two bits.
Buddy, that's an insult.! Who's gonna start off with a dollar?
Who'll give me a dollar now?
I guess I get it then.
Heck, I'll bid a dollar.
You're the auctioneer. You ain't supposed to bid.
- That's a dollar, once, twice. - A dollar and a dime!
- Three dollars. - Ain't fair. He's cheatin'!
That's three dollars, once.
Three dollars, twice. Three and a dime.!
- Three seventy-five. - Three seventy-seven.
[Laughter]
Five dollars.
[Ooo's And Ahh's]
Once, twice. Sold to Mr. Doolittle Lynn for five dollars.
[Square Dance Caller] Bring yours from Tennessee.
And bring that pretty girl back to me.
Swing her high and swing her low.
Swing your partner, do-si-do.
Take that lamb and take that squirrel.
Take that pretty girl 'round the world.
Make a lotta chocolate pies, Loretta?
Not too many, 'cept this one.
How much salt that recipe call for?
You don't put no salt in a chocolate pie.
You just put in sugar and...
Well, you must've got 'em mixed up, Loretta.
Makes a lot of sense. Salt and sugar's both white.
Ain't no sense in walkin' when you can ride. C'mon.
I ain't gettin' in that. You ain't never rode in a car before, have you?
That ain't no car.
It looks like somethin' from Mars. Mars?
Gal, what the hell do you know about Mars?
I'll bet you ain't never been past the mouth o' this holler.
Get in this thing. I said I ain't gettin' in and I ain't.
If you like me so much, you can walk me home.
Lord, them pies ain't the only thing salty about you, are they?
Wait a minute! We'll walk it then!
[Doolittle] The first time I ever seen you,
I said, me and that little gal's gonna get together.
I saw you too... in that little soldier suit.
I thought you looked just like a toy soldier.
You listen here. I went ashore yonder at D-Day plus four...
and I stayed in combat 'til the damn thing was over.
I wasn't no little toy soldier.
You know what D-Day is, don't you? Uh-uh.
[Chuckling]
What? Never mind.
I tell you one thing that army showed me.
It's a whole big world out yonder.
So, I ain't about to spend my life buried in no coal mine, neither.
Ain't no future in it,
and that's what I'm interested in, the future.
You got any plans for the future?
Huh? Not that I know of.
You sure cuss a lot. Yeah, I do.
Cuss, drink, chase wild women.
Whatta you doin'? I'm gonna kiss you good night.
Ain't you ever been kissed before? Huh?
Hey, Loretta?
I'm gonna bring my jeep up here and take you for a ride.
You ain't gonna get that thing up this holler.
There ain't nothin' I can't do, girl, once I set my mind to it.
[Pigs Squealing]
[Mother] Loretty, take Peggy Sue in there and feed her.
Come on.
[Engine]
Stranger comin'!!
Stranger comin'.
Stranger comin'!
What is it?
I told you I'd get this thing up here, gal.
You gotta take a ride with me now.
[Honking]
Hey, Bill! Hey, Doo.
[Honking] [Honking]
I can't breathe. I feel like I'm gonna faint.
That's the way you're supposed to feel when you're in love.
It is? Yeah.
[Barking]
[Engine]
Where have you been?
Doolittle took me ridin'.
What? Doolittle took me ridin'.
Took you ridin'? You just run off.
Didn't ask nobody or nothin'. Run off and worry everybody to death!
Y'all get to bed.
Go on.
Don't you know he'd rather cut off his arm...
then have to whip you like that?
What you mean runnin' off with that wild boy?
I love him, Mommy.
You do no such a thing.
You stay away from that Doolittle Lynn...
or I'll give you worse than what your daddy did.
I'll go make you up some salve for your legs.
Loretty, you know I don't like to boss you.
But I got to now, honey. Daddy...
Just let me talk. Doolittle's been up to the house every day this week.
I don't want him hangin'around no more. Why?
'Cause you ain't got no business hangin' around with him.
You're just a little girl. He's a grown-up man.
Wild as the devil.
But I love him, Daddy. And he's a-wantin' me to marry him.
You ain't even 14!
Y'all ain't knowed each other a month!
I know... but I love him.
Lord, Lord.
Don't do it, Loretty.
Don't throw all them young years away.
You're my pride, girl, my shinin' pride!
I just can't help it.
I can't.

We're playin' checkers. Jack, go on.
Say please.
Herman?
Junior, come on. Take 'em out... please?
Come on, fellas, let's go. Pretty please.
Look here at this, Loretty.
My gosh, Doo!
Where'd you get all that? Mess o' paychecks. I've been a-savin' them.
You know what tomorrow is? It's our anniversary.
Get a little closer.
Herman, I'm gonna kill you!
What were you sayin', Doo? That tomorrow's our anniversary.
I figured that'd be a good day for you and me to get married,
'specially since I got all that money.
Go ask Daddy.
Mr. Webb, me and Loretta...
is fixin' to get married if that's all right with you.
Tomorrow.
Go ask Clary.
Mrs. Webb, uh, me...
Me and Loretta was thinkin' about gettin' married...
tomorrow.
Go ask Ted.
[Kissing Sounds] Where's lover boy?
Doolittle, what are you doin'?
Ted said to ask Clary and Clary said to ask Ted... I don't know.
Come here and sit down.
Wait 'til they go to bed, then you can catch 'em together,
else they'll keep you runnin' back and forth all night.
Mr. And Mrs. Webb?
I know everything's happened real fast.
I know she's young. I know how much you all love her.
But the deal is...
I love her too...
as much as you do.
I growed up real fast, seen a lot of the world.
The first time I seen that girl,
I said, that's all I'm ever gonna want outta life.
I promise you.
I'm gonna break my back workin' to make her happy.
I reckon y'all set on it, no matter what we say.
I don't wanna go against y'all, but, yes, I'm really set on it.
Two things I want you to promise me, boy.
Don't you never hit her...
and don't take her off far away from home.
Yes, sir.
I promise you that.
Wilt thou love her, comfort her,
honor and keep her in sickness and in health?
And forsaking all others, keep thee only unto her...
so long as you both shall live? I will.
Loretta, will thou have this man to be thy wedded husband?
To live together in the holy estate of matrimony?
Wilt thou love him, comfort him,
honor and keep him in sickness and in health?
And forsaking all others, keep thee only unto him...
so long as you both shall live? Mm-hmm, I will.
Who giveth this woman to be married to this man?
I do.
Please join right hands.
The wedding ring is an outward and visible sign...
of an inward and spiritual grace,
signifying the uniting of this man and this woman in holy matrimony.
Do you two have rings?
[Doolittle] I ain't got no ring, judge.
She'll warm up here in just a minute.
I got a present for you from Mama.
[Zipper]
[Urinating]
[Flushing]
Well, go on. Get ready for bed, baby.
[Chuckle] Loretta, you ain't supposed to wear...
a nightgown over your clothes. I'm freezin', Doo.
Well, get on in there and take off everything but your nightgown.
Go on, Loretty.
Go on! Move!
Go on now!
Get off! Don't do that!
Doo, no! It's just a little rough the first time, Loretty.
Don't worry 'bout that. Come on, baby. No!
Hush, Loretty. No, no!
No! Oh, don't!
The stuff's cold. It froze between here and the damn restaurant.
You want a hot breakfast, you have to go with me.
I ain't havin' all them people lookin' at me, knowin' what we've been doin'.
Hell's bells, Loretta. Do you think this is something...
the rest of the world ain't caught on to yet?
They don't give a damn!
Baby, it's just a little rough the first time.
It didn't seem too rough on you. You better get used to it because...
I ain't gonna get used to you gettin' on me and sweatin' like an ol' pig!
You told Daddy you wouldn't hit me and look.
I'm sorry, Loretta, but you drove me to it!
[Train Whistle]
[Barking]
Hi, hon.
Look here at this. These radios are on sale real cheap.
You reckon we could get us one? Oh!
Here. You read that.
Then we'll talk radios.
My gosh, Doo! This has got pictures in it.
Yech.
[Whistle] Here, Bob.
[Barking]
Loretty, that there book...
that thing's helped millions of people the world over.
I thought it might do us a little good. I can't read this book.
It's got all them great big ol' words in it.
Look at this one.
Look! That dad-gum word is a foot long.
Now what's a foot-long word s'posed to mean, huh?
Doo, I don't need no book to tell me what's wrong.
You just need to be a little more patient and gentle with me.
I just need a little more time.
Give you a little more time.
Let me add up these damn things I'm supposed to give you more time on.
You need a little more time to learn how to cook.
A little more time to learn how to clean the house.
Plus you need a little more time...
to learn how to love your man the way you're supposed to.
Goddamn, is there anything you know how to do right now?
Doo, when are you gonna get me that weddin' ring?
[Growl]
Stop makin' that noise! You sound like a bear growling.
Where you goin'?
Doo, are you leavin'?
No... I ain't leavin'.
Mommy, look who's here. Loretta.!
[Ted] Whoa.! Whoa.!
Hi, Peggy, Donald. Look who's here, Dad.
Hi, Mommy. Doo throwed me out, Mommy. Oh, thank the Lord!
Maybe it ain't too late to save you from ruinin' your life.
Loretty! You're home! Hi, Daddy.
I believe married life's making you fat, girl.
Oh no.
"M-O-D..."
Ready, Loretta?
The last time I see you, I was givin' you kids a shot for the measles.
And here you are an old married woman. How do you like it?
Fine.
'Cept me and Doo is separated.
Things happen pretty fast between you and Doo.
Hey, Lizzie! Hold up there.
Hey, Doolittle!
How are you?
Nice day, isn't it? It sure is.
Whatta you been doin'?
Not a hell of a lot. Working too goddamn hard.
Hey, Doolittle Lynn!
Who's that sow wallerin' in your jeep?
What'd you call me? A sow! That's a woman pig!
[Laughing]
Hi, Loretta. I just...
Hey, Loretta!
Hey, Loretta. I was just fixin' to come see you.
Were you gonna bring your girlfriend with you? Hell, she don't mean nothin'.
I got something to tell you. I got something to tell you too.
Loretta, I am leaving Kentucky.
I'm goin' out west to Washington, get me a job on a ranch.
That damned ol' coal mine has got me buried alive.
Was you just gonna leave me? Just long enough to get the money to send for you.
What makes you think I'd come? 'Cause you're my wife.
I'm your wife! Boy, you better think of a better reason.
There ain't nothin' for me in Kentucky, Loretta.
'Cept a chest full of coal dust and bein' an old man time I'm forty.
You ask your daddy.
You got to come with me. I love you.
You promised Daddy you wouldn't take me off far from home.
You just have to make up your mind, darlin',
whether you're his daughter or my wife.
Get in. I'll take you back to the house.
What you doin' in the bottom anyhow? I come to see Doc Turner.
You sick?
Yeah. I'm gonna have a baby.
[Laughing]
Oh, Lord, Loretta.
You know, you might have found something that you know how to do!
Stop! Don't go so fast!
It's from Doo, Daddy!
He sent me the money to come to Washington.!
Well, she's late.
Reckon she might've jumped the tracks.
Oh, Daddy, them things don't do that.
Do they? They've been known to.
Get up here. Let's see what you weigh.
A hundred and seventeen!
Boy, Daddy. This baby's gonna be a big' un!
You weigh now. Wouldn't do no good.
I wouldn't know how much was me,
how much was all that coal dust I swallowed.
[Whistle]
I ain't never gonna see you again.
Yes, you will, Daddy.
Maybe... but I ain't never gonna see my little girl again.
Them years have been robbed from me...
like a thief broke in and robbed 'em.

Hey, y'all scared o' the rain?

[Doolittle] Come here, boy. Come here.
How you doin', Bubba? I'm home.
Hello, darlin'. Come here, baby.
What'd you do all day, baby?
I put up 17 quarts of this apple butter.
And Doo, the dad-gum sink stopped up...
and I spent half the morning fixing that.
Jack Benny, stop kickin' him under the table.
Do you hear me?
And then I had that doctor's appointment.
He said it was a false alarm.
We better be a whole lot more careful next time.
And cover your mouth when you're coughing.
[Coughing]
And then I come home. Eat, boy.
Betty Sue, you are not leaving this table until you finish.
Do you hear me? You were eating all day. Sit up.
And I come home and cook supper.
And I'm about ready to die.
How was your day? Wet.
Hey, Mooney!
Yo. Your mama called long distance from Kentucky today.
Said happy anniversary and said why don't you call her more often.
Much obliged. Why don't you have a phone put in sometime, Mooney?
Well, I don't like telephones.

Baby, I was just thinking, we got an anniversary coming up.
I was wondering what kind of anniversary present you wanted?
Well, I ain't got no wedding ring yet.
Wedding ring? Bullshit.
Aw, bullshit. Doolittle! Jack Benny!
Now go to sleep, Ernest Ray. You too, Jack Benny.
Happy anniversary, darlin'.
Yeah, it looks like you had a happy one.
You know, Doo, most couples spend their anniversary together.
What's that? That's your anniversary present, baby. Happy anniversary.
My anniversary present? Uh-huh.
Doo, sometimes I think you got a washer missing in your brain!
I can't play that thing.
Most people can't without they learn how first, God...
You're not too ignorant to learn, are you?
Hell, if you don't want it, I'll give it to the kids.
They probably don't want it either, so I'll put it in the kindling box.
Give me that!
What'd you get me a guitar for?
'Cause I like the way you sing.
You really think I sing good?
Baby, I know you do.
Can I have a present too?
[Loretta] [music]Have I told you lately [music]
[Music] That I love you [music]
[Music] Have I... Could I tell you once again somehow [music]
[Kids Yelling]
If you boys knock Cissy off of this porch one more time,
I'm gonna have to whoop you.

[Music] This heart would break in two if you refuse me [music]
[music]I'm no good without you anyhow [music]
[music]Dear, have I told you lately that I love you [music]
[music] Well, darlin', I'm telling you now [music]
How 'bout Saturday night let's get us one of them baby-sitters...

You mean, together? Yeah, together.
Okay.
What are you grinning about?
Doo!
What are you up to?
My Lord.
[music][Country]
[Doolittle] I'll have one of them beers, please.
Plus one Coca-Cola.
How 'bout a dance, darlin'?
I can't. I'm married.
You must not be too married. You ain't wearin' no ring.
I bet I know what this is all about. Aw, dang, you guessed it.
Wait right here. I'll be right back.
[Doolittle] Hey, Buddy. Hey Buddy, come here.
I got something sitting right on back there at that table...
[Indistinct]
Come here, darlin'.
Come here, honey. Come here.
I'll be right with you, hoss.
Excuse me.
Loretta?
What the hell are you doin' runnin' off and hidin'...
Don't make me get up there and sing, Doo. Please, I'm sick.
Hell, you're not gonna have to get up there and sing. OI' boy wouldn't allow it.
Thank the Lord. You're gonna have to audition for him in the morning.
I ain't no singer, Doo! I can't sing for no strangers.
Yes, you can. You didn't ask me nothin' about it!
How can I ask you something about it...
if you're running off and hiding like a stupid hillbilly!
Don't call me that. I may be ignorant, but I ain't stupid.
What do you want me to sing so much for anyway?
'Cause I'm proud of you when you sing!
Doo, I'm glad I make you proud, honey,
but I can't sing in front of people. I just can't.
Yes, you can, baby.
You're gonna sing for these ol' boys in the morning...
and next week, you're gonna be up on that stage singing for all these people here.
If I have to kick your...
Ignorant hillbilly ass every step of the way!
And now, folks, we've got a special treat for you.
Making her very first public appearance.
Please welcome the Westerneers'new girl singer,
Miss Loretta Lynn.!

Go on, do another one. Go on. Go on, baby.

[Music] Da-da da da him [music]
[Music] I've lost everything in this world [music]
[Music] And now I'm a honky-tonk girl [music]
I done wrote myself a song, Betty Sue.
Your mama's a dad-gum songwriter.
It's a nice song, Mommy. Well, thank you.
Deal is, Loretta, you can sing in every little honky-tonk in the country.
There's thousands doin' it and they ain't gettin' nowhere and they never will.
The thing that's gonna give you the edge is gettin'yourself a record.
And the next step's even more important than that.
That's getting people to play the dad-burned thing.
But right now, what you and me have to worry about...
is you making the best doggone record you can.
It all depends on that, darlin'.
Boy, I didn't know you knew so much about the music business. I don't.
I'm just figurin' it out as I go along listening to people.
It's just got three chords.
All right, honey, what are you gonna sing for us?
She's gonna do a song she wrote herself called, "Honk Tonk Girl."
And honey, what key is it in?
Just go right ahead and play along. She'll follow you just fine.
Go ahead. You all just play.
She does talk, don't she, partner?
Generally, people that can sing can talk.
She'll talk up a storm if she feels like it.
You all settle down now here now and be quiet.
Darlin', come over here and sit on my knee.
You'll have a lot better view, boys. Sit up here now.
Sit up big. Listen to your mama.
All right, tape is rollin'! Let's go for take one.
Three, four, one.
That's all right. That's all right.
Don't worry about it. We got a lot of tape.
Get set and we'll go for take two.
Could you give us a minute, please? Sure.
Kids, come along with me.
I guess we're leavin' now.
Hey, put that thing back on.
What are you doin' here with the kids?
Doo, what are you doing?
Darlin', I want you to sing to these babies.
Sing to the babies? Yeah, just like you do at home.
Sit there in that green chair. Okay.
You sure? I'm positive.
Three, four, one.
[music]Ever since you left me [music]
[music]I've done nothin'but wrong [music]
[music]Many nights I've laid awake and cried [music]
All right, hold it everybody. Hang on a minute.
Let's take a break and let me see if I can find a few more pickers.
I can't afford no more pickers. I spent every last penny I had.
As bad as them two are, what do you want more for?
I mean, more better. That little lady sings her hind end off.
[Music] Ever since you left me [music]
[Music] I've done nothin' but wrong [music]
[Music] Many nights I've laid awake and cried [music]
[music] We was so happy [music]
[music]My heart was in a whirl [music]
Let's go, darlin'. Let's do this thing now. I ain't got all day.
Wait a minute. I ain't got all these doodads sewed on.
Baby, I got to get to work. Come on now. Okay.
It's just gonna be your head and shoulders anyhow.
Get up there in front of the backdrop.
You mean that bedspread? Yeah.
Oh, wait a minute, Doo! I oughta put on some lipstick.
Get back in here. I like you better natural. Forget the lipstick.
Slips's all wadded. Sit down there.
Get up on the back of the chair, babe.
Up on the back of the chair? Yeah.
Aw, that's gonna be pretty. That's gonna be pretty.
I don't want you ever wearin' no lipstick or makeup or none of that junk.
I don't like it. It ain't right.
All right, here we go now.
Where do you want me to look? Look at heaven, baby.
Mama. Get out, sweetheart, I'm tryin' to take Mama's picture.
Get over there and sit down now.
Thank you, baby. Smile.
Aw, beautiful.
That's just beautiful. That's it, babe.
Put the backdrop back on the bed.
Are you and Daddy going out again tonight, Mama?
Yes, honey, I've got to sing over in Lynden.
Can I go with you? Oh, no, that's a rough ol' honky-tonk.
You can't be goin' over there.
Did you stay up all night again, honey?
Yeah. Darlin', I'll get me a nap later on.
Let me fix you some breakfast. No, I'll get me a bite later on.
I got to go. Be ready when I get home.
We gotta drive all the way to Spokane. Okay. Bye-bye.
Where's my egg, Mommy?
I'm cookin' it as fast as I can, darlin'.
[Voice Outside] Loretty? Loretty.
Long distance. Your ma's callin' from Kentucky.
Emergency she said.
[music]Amazing grace how sweet it sounds [music]
[music]Amazing grace [music]
[music]How sweet it sounds [music]
That saved a wretch like me.
[Music] That saved a wretch like me [music]
I once was lost, but now I'm found.
He, come to me, Mommy, when he died.
I seen him just as plain.
He wanted to be with you and them grand younguns
I was blind, but now I see.
Mommy, I shouldn't have left.
I don't guess he ever got over me takin' her off from home, Doc.
You did the right thing, Doo, leavin' here.
Well anyhows, it's over and done now I reckon.
No, it ain't.
It ain't never gonna be over.
[Engine]
Finished widenin' that trail.
It ain't gonna be so hard to get up here next time.
Loretta, this ol' mountaintop's gonna be covered...
in wildflowers in six week's time.
What the hell are you doing bringing plastic ones up here? Because they don't die.
The real ones just die.
Darlin'... Like everything else.
Mommy... Mommy's movin' away, Daddy's gone.
I ain't gonna have no home left.
You got our home.
Get away from me!
Leave me alone.
[Bulldozer]
Loretta, we gotta decide something.
Most of them radio stations that we sent records and pictures to...
is right here in this part of the country.
If we're really gonna do this thing,
we gotta go see 'em in person and make sure they play that record.
Already talked to your mama...
and she said that she'd watch the kids for us.
We gotta move right now, you understand?
Darlin', if you don't want it,
I ain't gonna make you do nothin' you don't wanna do.
It's your choice.
We'll just go back to what we was doing, that's all.
I want it. What?
I said, I want it.
Baby, I can't hear you. I wanna be a singer, Doo!
I want it real bad.
Jack, you see that little roll of numbers right there? Yeah.
That tells you how many miles you've run...
and that'll tell us how far we've been when we get back.
I love you. I'll see you when we come home.
You mind her, okay? Mommy, I love you.
I love you. Careful now.
Betty Sue, you take care of the little ones, okay?
Will you mind Grandma?
Okay. Bye, Jack. Bye-bye.
Bye, Ernest Ray. Bye-bye.
I left you all some Tootsie Rolls in that top drawer in the bedroom.
Bye-bye. Bye, Mommy.
Come back, Mommy.
[Flipping Through Radio Stations]
[Radio] Now here's that number one hit, "Walking After Midnight. '
Patsy Cline. That's right. That's WCBL.
A disc jockey, name of Bobby Day.
Keep your eyes open for the transmitter. It's right up here.
The what? Transmitter.
Oh.
[music]I'm always walkin'out alone after midnight [music]
[music]Searchin'for you [music]
[music]I walk for miles along the highway [music]
Dad-gummit, Doo. Wait a minute, people can see in here.
Hurry up, let's go.
What am I supposed to say when we get in there? I don't know what to say.
Don't even think about what you're supposed to say, darlin'.
Just start talkin'.
[Knocking]
I'm sorry, folks. There's no visitors allowed in the studio.
Hi, Bobby. My name's Loretta Lynn.
I sent you a picture and my newest record on the Zero label.
You can't be here while I'm doin' a show.
It's a song I wrote myself. It's called, "Honk Tonk Girl."
And I got the idea... I got it and I played it...
and it just sorta laid right there.
So thanks for comin'in. Bye-bye now.
Bye-bye.
You're listenin'to tri-state country with deejay Bobby Day...
right here 'til six o'clock, neighbors.
And now here's a word from our friends down at Hutchin's Hot Pig.
[Snorting] Tell them all about it, Hutch, and all of them little piglets.
You played it, huh?
You ain't even took it out of the wrapper.
Do you know how many do-it-yourself records I get here every day?
If I played all of them, I wouldn't have time to play anything else.
Well, why did you lie to us?
Why'd you say they didn't like us?
Doo worked so hard to get us this record.
Hey, buddy get her out of here. I gotta go back on the air.
I'm sorry, buddy. There ain't nothin' I can do once she gets cranked up.
And he took the picture too.
Heck, we got four babies we had to leave home with my mommy.
We drove all the way here. Spent every last dime we had.
Folks, we gotta special treat for you here today.
A young lady who I predict is gonna go all the way.
I can't believe it.
I can't believe you'd do something so dad-gum mean as that.
Tell us all about yourself, darlin'! About myself?
[Radio] And then I sang it for Doolittle. That's my husband.
Except everybody else calls him "Mooney."
On account of he used to sell moonshine back in Butcher Holler.
- Where? - Butcher Holler.
That's where me and Doo's from. Back in Kentucky. Anyway,
I wrote the song and Doo heard it...
and he said that's about the prettiest song I ever heard.
Good as Patsy Cline.
I said, ain't nobody sings as good as Patsy.
[Deejay] Let's get a listen to it, folks. Brand new on the Zero label.
Miss Lorene Lynn... What!
Singin' "Honk-tonk Girl. '
It's Loretta Lynn, not Lorene.
Loretta? Uh-huh.
[music]["Honky-Tonk Girl']
[Doolittle] Girl, you sure got over bein'bashful fast.
I just done like you said.
Just opened my mouth and out it come.
I couldn't even stop.
And didn't have no more notion of what I was gonna say than a rabbit.
You keep on bein' a rabbit, then, darlin'.
Hey, where's the next one?
You want me to watch for that next transmitter?
Hell yes. Watch out for that transmitter.
[Radio] [music] We was so happy [music]
WTMT... the voice of country in Hazard, Kentucky.
[Loretta] We've been seein'all different parts of the country...
and meeting all kinds of people and Doolittle, he's driving...
This is WMID in Middlesboro.
[Loretta] Mommy's back in Kentucky taking care of the four babies.
They're wondering what happened to their mama.
I have no idea where singers got songs to sing...
so I thought, shoot, I just better write myself up one.
At least until I get this music business figured out.
Doo, can we send the kids some suckers or something?
No, babe, we can't afford it. We ain't got the money.
Here's your baloney. Forty-eight cents.
I'm gettin' so sick of baloney.
You are? You know what they say about baloney, don't you?
What? Makes you horny.
What's that mean? Ha, ha, ha.
Are you so dad-burned ignorant you don't know what horny means?
No, what does it mean? I ain't gonna tell you.
Doo!
Doo, what does it mean?
What does it mean?
[Deejay] With all these months on the road, have you hit Nashville?
[Loretta] No, sir, but I'm a-dying to.
I'm gonna get on Grand Ole Opry, just as soon as I can.
You know, sometimes you got to pay a lot of dues to get on the Opry.
Pay dues? Well...
for most people, it takes years and years of hard work.
Still, from the looks of things, you're off to a real good start.
Shoot, we've been drivin' so much, I don't know where I am half the time.
Oh, it's fun though. And we sing and talk.
Doo, that's my husband, he'll get to actin' horny.
What! And the more I laugh, the hornier he gets.
For God's sake. Loretta, goddamn!
And he'll say, Loretta, spread me up one of them baloney sandwiches.
I don't know where in the hell you think you are, lady,
but that kind of smut don't go on in this part of the country.
I didn't know it was dirty. I thought horny meant cuttin' up and actin' silly.
Come off that dumb hillbilly act.
Mister, if you knew Loretta, you'd know that ain't no act. Thank you, Doo.
Let me tell you something.
We're gonna be damn lucky if we don't lose our FCC license for this!
And I mean, damn lucky.
And I'm gonna tell you something else.
I ain't never playing another record of yours on this radio station!
Never! Don't you ever stop to think what the hell you're saying?
You told me not to.
Wait up. Don't worry about him, kids.
If you're on the charts, you're gonna get played.
What chart? You got a hit record. You don't know that?
That really isn't an act, is it?
Look here. Cash Box magazine came out today.
You're number 14 nationwide.
You really didn't know.
Thank you. Doo!
I love you, Doo.
[Radio] To the girl with roses on her pillow.

Doo, this is the Grand Ole Opry.
You want chocolate or glazed?
The Grand Ole Opry!
Doo, what if they won't let me in?
They better let us in. I done spent all the money on these donuts.
How they gonna keep us out?

I've been callin' and callin' you.
Now, Mr. Devine said to put you on Ernest's show.
Now you go stand right over yonder and keep your eyes on Ernest.
And he'll introduce you, if the show ain't runnin' too long.
Now... [Whispering]
[music] Walkin'the floor for you [music]
What's the matter with you?
I'm scared. Scared! Goddamn!
I don't belong here. You belong here as much as anybody does.
Now try to quit complainin' and relax.
I ain't ready. I ain't paid my dues to be here.
By God, we'll pay them later on then.
[music]Some day you may be lonesome too [music]
Where you goin'?
If there's one thing I can't stand, it's a nervous damn woman.
Don't leave. I ain't leavin' you. I'm gonna get some air.
[music]I'm walkin' the floor over you [music]
[music]I can't sleep a wink that is true [music]
[Indistinct Arguing]
[Officer] We got no place here for drunks.
Now go on. Don't give me no trouble.
Thank you all. Thank you so very much...
and welcome to this portion of our Grand Ole Opry.
Right now, I want you to meet a little gal...
that I feel sure you're going to love very much.
So let's give a great big Grand Ole Opry welcome...
to Miss Loretta Lynn.!
[Applause]
Get out there.
Well, if you ain't a picker, what are you?
I've got a wife singin' on the Opry. Oh, I see.
You're one of the husbands.
Well, I'm one of the wives, darlin'.
See you... How 'bout one fifth wheel buyin' another one a drink?
There she is. She's on right now. She's on the radio.
Hey, buddy. Hey, buddy, could you turn the radio up?
[Music] Nothin' but wrong [music]
[Music] Many nights I've laid awake and cried [music]
[Music] We were so happy [music]
[Music] My heart was in a whirl [music]
[Music] But now I'm a honky-tonk girl [music]
Hey, sweet thing.
Sweet thing. Look at you.
How's that big ol' ugly husband of yours?
He's out in the alley trying to sober up enough to do his show.
Turn the radio up, will ya?
Listen, I'm trying to hear the radio.
He's got a wife on the Opry.
Oh, is that right? Hell, you got it made, man.
All you gotta do is lay up and count it as the old lady rakes it in.
I do my share of the work. Delmar, turn it up! Sure you do, hoss.
Sure you do. I told you all politely I'm trying to hear my wife sing.
Oh, is that your job? She sings...
and you listen. Yeah.
[Music] And now I'm a honky-tonk girl [music]
I'll be. Wonderful.
Real wonderful, honey. Thank you so much.
Hey, by the way, you think you might come back next week?
I ain't got nothin' else planned.
Ain't got nothin' else planned. Okay, Loretta Lynn!
I'll be. She's a doll, I'll tell ya.
Thank you, honey.
Doo, did you hear? Yeah, I heard you.
They loved me. And they want me to come back next week.
Can you believe it? I can believe it, baby.
Now what we gotta do next is plan real carefully what we're gonna do next.
I'm too happy to even think about that now.
I don't care if I die tomorrow, Doo.
If I never sing another song, it ain't never gonna be better than this.
Did you hurt yourself? Your jaws are swelling up.
That's just from grinning, baby. That's from pure happiness.
[Loretta] [music]I fall to pieces [music]
[music]How can I be just your friend [music]
[music] You want me to act like we've never kissed [music]
[music] You want me to forget [music]
[Music] Pretend we've never met [music]
[Music] And I tried and I tried [music]
[Music] But I haven't yet [music]
[Music] You walk by and I fall to pieces [music]
Friends, this is the number one hit song by Miss Patsy Cline.
I guess you all know that she's over in the hospital...
'cause she's been in a real bad car wreck.
So I want to dedicate this song to her.
So Patsy, if you're listenin', this song is for you.
[Music] I fall to pieces [music]
Loretta, Patsy Cline's husband.
Charlie Dick. Hello.
Patsy heard you tonight and she wants you to come see her.
Can you come? Doolittle, this is Patsy Cline's husband.
She heard me. She was listenin' in the hospital.
She wants to meet me. Can we go? Sure. Go ahead.
I'll take the younguns home. Get your mama's guitar.
Are you sure? Yeah.
Okay, honey, Mama will be home soon.
Bye-bye. Bye, Mom.
Patsy Cline was listenin' to me? Yes.
Bye-bye, honey. Bye. See you later, Mama.
Hey.
Hey, did you bring me that beer like l...
Tsk.
I keep my straw in the top drawer right behind you.
Right behind... top drawer.
It's right in there. Thank you.
That's the one.
Thank you.
What's the matter with you?
Ain't you ever seen no glamorous star before?
You ain't mad at me for singin' your song, are you, Patsy?
Mad? Sit down.
I'm scared. 'Cause people might think you sing better than I do.
Uh-uh. Hey, you're stirring things up in this town.
Hey, how many times you been on the Opry now?
I've been on 17 straight times.
People wanna know who you been sleeping with...
that you've been on so many times. Who's been a-sayin' that?
Gals that have been sleeping with everybody and still ain't been on yet.
Like who? Oh, let me put it this way.
Take it as a compliment. You got 'em runnin' scared.
I just can't believe I'm a-sittin' here talkin' to Patsy Cline.
Patsy Cline has been hospitalized for several months now...
due to a serious accident.
We are happy to say she's here tonight to sing for you.
A Grand Ole Opry welcome for Patsy Cline.!
You're looking hotter tonight, girl.
[Music] Sweet [music]
[Music] Dreams of you [music]
[Music] Every night [music]
[Music] I go through [music]
[Music] Why can't I forget you [music]
[Music] And start my life anew [music]
[Music] Instead of having sweet dreams [music]
[Music] About you [music]
[Music] You [music]
[Music] Don't love me [music]
[Music] It's plain... [music]
[Doolittle] Good thing we didn't get any dogs.
Good show, Patsy.!
What you all two devils been up to besides gettin'in trouble?
Don't answer that. Delmar, two Coca-Colas.
Hey, Patsy, Mooney said he's gonna take me squirrel huntin'.
Charlie Dick, don't you bring home no squirrels.
When I left Virginia, I swore I'd never eat another squirrel as long as I lived.
I love squirrel meat. Don't you like squirrel, Patsy?
Well, of course I do. I married Charlie, didn't I?
Charlie, you know, I love you.
Even if I have to remind him every now and then...
he ain't nothin' but a damn tax deduction.
That goes for you too, Doolittle Lynn.
And don't you forget it.
[Patsy] [music]It's on us women [music]
[music]But it's not true that only you men feel the same [music]
It's true. It's true.
[Music] Right from the start [music]
[Music] Most every heart that's ever been broken [music]
Doo?
You all right? Yeah.
Gotcha enough books?
Get down from there. Let me try.
See anything?
My Lord, Patsy, I hope we don't get rained out.
You don't get rained out on circuits like these.
You just keep on singin'.
Mud, flood, hell, or high water.
Five minutes, Patsy. Looks like that's it for me.
What else do you wear?
Well, I start out with some liquid makeup.
Then I powder that down. Now, look, Loretta, you get ready...
'cause I'm gonna call you up after my first song. Okay.
What'd you do that for?
What do you got on your face?
I just thought I'd try it.
Do you like it? No.
Hell no. You know that I don't like it.
Now get on back there and take it off.
No. What?
Hey now! Hey, wait a minute, by God.
[Fan] Loretta Lynn.!
Get her autograph.
[Music] I'm back in baby's arms [music]
[Music] How I miss those lovin' arms [music]
[music]I'm back where I belong [music]
[music]Back in baby's arms [music]
[music]Don't know why we quarrel [music]
[Music] We never did before [music]
[Music] Since we found how much it hurts [music]
[Music] I bet we never quarrel anymore [music]
Oh, good.
What do you have to do to win one of these parrots here? Two out of three.
All right.
One parrot. Let me know when I run out of money now.
Get away with every parrot you got. Uh-uh.
Put them right under the tarps in the red trailer.
Come on. I'm cold, I'm miserable, I'm wet.
I'm gonna lose my voice.
Patsy, you seen Doo? No, darlin'.
Is everybody ready? 'Cause this bus is takin'off.
Woman, if you want to keep that arm, you better get it off my husband.
Who are you tellin' what?
I don't know who you are, but I know what you are. Come on, Doo.
They're gonna leave us. Let me tell you something.
If you was keeping your man satisfied, he wouldn't have to go nowhere else.
[Bus Horn] Doo, come on, they're gonna leave without us.
Loretta, let's go.! Let me get my parrots, baby.
[Bus Horn]
Loretta.! Thank you.
What the hell you gettin' in such an uproar about?
I wasn't doin' nothin'. I saw you doin' nothin'.
Loretta, darlin', I get lonesome standing around by myself.
I need somebody to talk to. It didn't look like no talkin' to me.
I'm warning you, Doo.
I better not ever catch you with trash like that again.
I mean it.
Warning me?
Goddamn, woman, don't you ever warn me about nothin'!
You understand that?
You hear me talkin'to you?
You hear me talkin' to you?
[Music] Women like you they're a dime a dozen [music]
[Music] You can buy 'em anywhere [music]
[Music] For you to get to him I'll have to move over [music]
[Music] And I'm gonna stand right here [music]
This is the chorus. [Music] It'll be over my dead body [music]
[Music] So get out while you can [music]
[Music] 'Cause you ain't woman enough to take my man [music]
Where the hell did you get the idea for that?
Where do you think?
Hey, Charlie! Charlie!
Hey, wake up, Charlie.
Where the hell you been? Shoppin'. Looks like you have too.
Get all that crap off your face.
I like it and it's staying. Where you goin'?
Hold on, Mooney. This is my idea.
If I wanna wear makeup, I'll wear it.
The hell you will! You're gonna do what I tell you.
I'll do just what I want! Don't talk like that.
Don't you hit me! Don't you hit me! I'll whip your butt!
Goddamn! [Patsy] Hey.! Hey.!
Let's get in the car! [Charlie] Hey, Mooney.!
Charlie, get in the car and drive!
Loretta, get in the car! Get in that car and drive!
- That's Patsy Cline.! - That's Loretta Lynn.!
Give 'em hell, Patsy.!
[Woman] Get your camera, honey.
Get ready now.
You want your ass kicked? Get in that goddamn car!
Hey, boys! Hey, no!
[Door Opening]
[Door Closing]
Oh, my God, did I do that?
Is it broke?
Aren't you gonna talk?
Baby, I think I'm gonna get me a job somewhere, drivin' a truck...
or being a mechanic or somethin' I'm good at.
You're good at managin' me.
I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you.
Gettin' here's one thing, bein' here's another.
My job's done, baby. I'll just get me another.
Doo, if it's gonna break us up, I'll quit.
Successful people don't quit, baby.
Got another one of your headaches, don't you?
Just like your daddy. Coal dust give him the headache.
I guess I'm what's givin' 'em to you.
Loretta?
Figured it was about time.
Doo.
[Loretta On Radio] [music]For you to hit your hands [music]
[music]I'll have to do the mambo I'm gonna stand right here [music]
[music]It'll be over my dead body so get out while you can [music]
[music] 'Cause you ain't woman enough to take my man [music]
I'm pregnant again, Patsy.
Are you sure?
I don't want to have it.
I've been havin'babies since I was 14. What does Mooney think?
He doesn't know.
Hey, come on, you oughta be happy. I'm tickled!
We're gonna have a baby.
Know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna give you the biggest baby shower in Nashville.

What are you up to, Doo?
I'm gonna build us a house right here.
Hell of a view, ain't it?
I picked this spot on account of from right in there...
it looks like Kentucky used to be.
Thought I'd put the bedroom back here in front of the house,
so we can wake up and look out that picture window...
and watch the sun come up.
Thought back here'd be a good place for a breakfast nook.
Right here we can... Dad-gum it, Doo.
You never asked me nothin' about no new house.
I wanted to surprise you, baby. Stop surprisin'me.
You never ask me about nothin'!
Hell, I thought you'd want a new house.
For the privacy if nothin' else.
I ain't said I don't want no new house.
I just said you ain't asked me nothin' about it.
You never do.
You just say, here's the deal, take it or leave it.
It's drivin' me crazy.
Hell, let's call the lawyers and get a divorce. I'm tired of this bullshit.
I don't want no divorce. I want the bedroom in the back.
[Sighing] You put the bedroom in the front,
the sun comes in every morning at five o'clock and shines in my eyes.
How am I supposed to get any sleep?
You're not too ignorant to pull a set of blinds, are you?
No, and I'm not too ignorant to know the bedroom...
don't belong in the front where the living room oughta be.
[Growling Sounds] [Growling Sounds]
Stop a-growlin'. You sound like a bear.
All right, we'll put the bedroom in the back.
[Growling Sounds] Let's not be too hasty.
Maybe we oughta leave the bedroom in the front. It's pretty here.
It's beautiful, darlin'. We'll put the bedroom in back and one in front.
Oh, great. All right?
Then we'll both have our own bedroom.
No, no, I'm gonna live in a tree house I'm gonna build up the hill.
