It's always been
It always will be
Love may not be perfect
Oh, we may not be perfect
But love is
Love is
Ooh
Thank you for helping me with my video.
Well, it was interesting.
I hope all this works out for you. I really enjoyed your singing.
You said that last time.
What?
Do you remember me?
You know, maybe if you put some mud on your face it might help.
- You do remember. - Of course I do.
You made quite the first impression.
So did you.
You've sure come a long way since falling off that wagon.
I have my first real concert this Saturday at the Municipal Auditorium.
Wow, huh? Jeez. Big time, huh?
I've never played anywhere so big. I'm a little nervous.
You'll do great.
If you'd like to come, I could get you tickets.
Uh, I'd love to but I got this rodeo in Beaumont.
But if the old bull throws me off in the afternoon...
...and I don't make the finals...
...I might be able to make it to your concert.
Great.
I'll leave you tickets and backstage passes at will-call.
All right. Okay.
If I don't make it to your concert...
...good luck with it all. - Thank you.
- You ain't gonna wish me luck? - Nope.
I'm rooting for the bull.
Ha, ha.
See you.
Thank you. Enjoy the show.
- Any good news, Bubba? - Not much.
- Spurs won. - Yes.
Must have been the Lakers.
Hi.
- Oh my gosh. Hi. - Hi.
Just stopped by, wanted to wish you luck tonight.
Thank you. I'm gonna need it.
No, you won't. Just do what you do.
You'll be fine. You'll be great.
I can't believe you're standing here in person, talking to me.
I am still standing.
- Anyway, good luck. - Thank you.
All right, bye.
Come on, Bubba.
Good luck following that act, boss.
- Knock them dead, kid. - I'll try.
- Have you seen Dale? - Who, the cowboy?
No. Is he supposed to be here?
Never count on a bull.
Here she is, country's newest star, Bobbie Thomas.
Hey, hey
Black leather boots Deep-sea green eyes
A miracle in blue jeans Cut her out to size
What did I do? How did I find?
How did such a good love thing Walk into my life?
Oh, that's my man
He loves everything I am
That's my man
Honeysuckle kisses so delicious
Honey, that's my man
I can't get no sleep But that's all right
The magic in his fingers Filling up my nights
I get a little bit weak When he holds me tight
Taking me to heaven He's my magic carpet ride
Oh, that's my man
He loves everything I am
That's my man
Honeysuckle kisses so delicious
Honey, that's my man
Sweet as honey That's my man
Oh, oh
A little later in the show...
...we'll meet country music sensation, Bobbie Thomas.
And we'll hear the touching story behind her number one record...
...and we'll have a couple of surprises for her as well.
So stay tuned, we'll be right back.
Kymaro's New Body Shaper...
...is so light that you can wear it year round.
It can be worn with the clingiest of fabrics and is great for casual and formal wear.
Call right now and get Kymaro's New Body Shaper...
...for the incredible low price of only 39.95.
Yes, for a limited time, it's yours for only 39.95.
And listen to this. If you call right now...
Looks like one of them touchy shows, huh?
What are you doing here?
I'm not really sure, to be honest. I mean, I got this phone call...
...and they said that you'd be here.
And it seems wherever you are, there's free food.
- It's nice to see you again. - It's good to see you too.
Miss Thomas, you're on after the next commercial. You ready?
I guess so.
Knock them dead, kid.
- Wish me luck. - No.
- I'm betting on the bull. - Ha.
Right this way.
Well, music critics all across the country are calling my next guest...
...the country girl with the gift.
Please welcome the new star of country music...
...Bobbie Thomas.
Wow, what a welcome.
- Thank you, Bobbie, for being on the show. - Thank you for having me.
Okay. So your first single goes to number one on the Billboard music charts.
Your first video has just gone to number one on the country video charts.
You're currently the opening act for the undisputed king of country music...
...and the critics have dubbed you the girl with the gift.
How do you feel about all this sudden success?
Well, I'm very thankful.
Uh, it's fantastic. It's like a dream.
Oh, this is no dream, I can assure you.
So let me ask you about the lyrics to your first number one hit...
..."Would You Love Me Anyway?"
I understand these lyrics are very personal to you.
Yes. My mama died while giving birth to me...
...so I was raised by my Aunt Ella.
And I never really knew much about my daddy...
...other than the stories that Ella told me.
So the lyrics to this song are really just the stories that she told me.
- So you've never seen your father at all? - No.
When you were a little girl wondering about your daddy late at night...
...did you even have a picture in your mind...
...what he might look like?
Well, I remember...
I used to close my eyes as hard as I could...
...and I could picture him on a big, white horse...
...but I never could really see his face.
Did you ever picture him looking like that handsome young cowboy...
...you used in your video?
I don't know.
We happen to have that handsome young cowboy with us here with us today.
Dale Jordan, ladies and gentlemen.
Welcome to the show, Dale.
- Thank you, ma'am. - Oh, he's so polite.
So I understand that you, yourself...
...handpicked this handsome young cowboy...
...to be in your video.
Well, yes.
- Dale, did you know that? - No, ma'am.
- Kind of flattering, huh? - Yes, ma'am.
The audience is eating this up.
Wait till you see the next surprise. It's a doozy.
I'd have to say that we have the greatest research team...
...in all of television on this show...
...because waiting for you backstage is an incredible surprise.
Brace yourself, because you're about to meet the rodeo cowboy...
...who is your daddy.
Roy, come on out.
Go ahead, Roy. Give her that long-awaited hug.
I'm Marilyn Montgomery and we'll be right back.
Brilliant. Did you hear the audience? They loved it.
- What's wrong with you? - What are you talking about?
How could you do this to her?
I didn't do this. I had no idea this was gonna happen.
- Really? - Yeah.
Hey, look, kid, these shows do these things all the time.
I had nothing to do with it. Honest.
Hey, he's lying.
He's lying?
You're a jerk.
I can't believe you fell down and hit your face on a music stand.
You're such a klutz.
That's me, Mr. Klutz.
Excuse me, can I get another one?
So, Daddy, you've just been riding the rodeo circuit all these years?
Psst. Roy.
- What? - You've been riding the circuit...
...all these years? - Oh, no. Not for a while.
- What have you been doing? - Oh, you know, just living.
This is great. I have my daddy.
And thank you both for coming to dinner with us.
It's the least I could do.
Hey, can I get another one?
Anybody want dessert?
No, I'm trying to stay in shape.
I gotta hit the head.
Excuse me.
You know, I'm gonna join him, actually.
Thanks, I got one.
You couldn't stay sober for long, could you?
Long enough to do that show.
You know, you're, uh, not what she expected.
Hell, I'm not what I expected.
So, what are you gonna do about it?
I don't know.
I didn't bargain for this.
They just offered me a bunch of money. Hell, I couldn't say no to it.
You're gonna break her heart.
Seems like a nice kid.
I don't wanna hurt her.
Then do the right thing.
Clean yourself up.
Thank you for inviting me to dinner. Yeah, I really enjoyed it.
So did I.
- Good luck with your father. - Thank you.
- You sure did look beautiful tonight. - Thank you.
So much is happening to me right now. It's so fast.
- I sure wish you could see the show again. - Yeah.
- Another rodeo. - I know.
Oh, hey.
Now, I got you something just to keep you company on the road.
- It's not quite as mean as the ones I ride. - I'm sure.
Thank you.
It kind of reminds me of you.
- See you. - Right.
Smile.
Daddy, you all right?
Daddy?
I've been called about everything else, but not daddy.
You'll get used to it.
No.
- This isn't any good. - What do you mean?
This daddy, I'm not a daddy.
Don't say that.
Look, I'm not what you've been dreaming about all these years.
I'm not a rodeo cowboy.
I'm a drunk.
You asked me what I've been doing. I've been drinking.
I drink till I pass out, I drink till I throw up on myself.
I'm no good for you.
Sooner or later, you're gonna get hurt. I don't wanna hurt you.
The best thing I could do is go on down the road...
...mind my own business.
You're not going down any road.
I've been waiting my whole life. I'm not gonna let you just go.
Well, you have to.
I'm an alcoholic.
- I'm sick. - We'll get you in one of those programs.
I've been through those. They don't work for me.
But I'm here now.
I'll help you. Whatever it takes.
- We'll get through this together. - Bobbie, I'm a bad drunk.
A time's gonna come you'll wish to hell you'd never found me.
Never. I'll be there for you, no matter what.
I'll be there.
I promise.
- Mark, let's do another mic check. - All right. On my way.
- Hey, double-check those levels. - Got it.
Check for the house sound.
- Are they gonna use this spot? - Yes.
Hey, check this out. Come on, come on, watch me, watch me.
How are you? Me and my best friend right here.
Come on, Roy, cool off.
Get the adrenaline pumping...
...and let's get ready for the bull riding event of the evening.
Hey, Dale. Good luck, man.
Make some noise for this cowboy...
...because that may be the only paycheck he gets.
He's a cowboy that needs to make a paycheck, folks.
He's finished number eight all around and this year he's making a big comeback...
...after some injuries he took at Cheyenne last month.
Cowboy Dale Jordan was last year's winner...
...but he's gonna need to score big to hold the lead.
Get ready. Nice and easy.
This bull has been unridden this year.
He's setting in the chute, waiting for the nod.
Oh, no. That doesn't look good folks.
The bullfighters are out there doing their work.
Oh, God.
- Any good news, Bubba? - Not much.
- Spurs lost. - Damn.
All right.
- Bobbie, tell these rent-a-cops who I am. - Miss, he keeps saying this is his show.
- Get the hell out of here. I run this show. - Stop it. Everyone. Everyone.
- You shut up. - Daddy, stop.
I'll handle this. Shut up!
- Your daddy? - Yeah. Come on.
- What are you doing? - Get off me!
I don't take nothing off nobody, especially some little snot-nosed kid.
- What is wrong with you? - You watch your attitude, you little tramp.
You're just like your mother.
All your makeup and a little hussy.
Get out.
- Get out of here. - Nobody tells me what to do.
- Get out. I never wanna see you again. - I am not leaving. I like it.
- There's lots of action, free booze. - No, you are not staying here.
- Party time. - I hate you.
I wish I'd never found you.
Oh, no. No, no, no.
- That's, um... - Three.
...three. Yeah.
Hey, what's the problem?
You want some?
Hey, Bubba, get his ass out of here.
Come on, Roy.
You all right?
I think so.
Good, because you got a show to do.
- You get yourself together. - I know. I'll be ready.
Okay. Then let's do it.
Damn, I think I broke my hand, that hardheaded SOB.
We're ready for you, Miss Thomas.
- Poor little guy. - It's empty.
It was a very big voice. Perhaps too big for her.
We'll have to put it back on the shelf.
What was that?
Ladies and gentlemen, Miss Bobbie Thomas.
What the...?
Bobbie, how long have you been singing?
My whole life. Why?
What's wrong with me?
Well, nothing. Ha. That's what makes this so unusual.
We've run every test imaginable, over and over...
...and they all say the same thing.
With your larynx, you should never have been able to sing at all.
In simple terms, it's defective.
- Congenital? - Since birth.
What are you saying, doc? When will she be able to sing again?
She'll probably never be able to sing again.
That's what the voice clinic said, Charlie. They ran every test possible.
They don't know how she sung in the first place. They said it was a miracle.
Well, maybe it was just a matter of time before this happened.
Well, we can't be held responsible for that.
The contracts? Well, of course I have them.
Of course I read them.
Oh, you gotta be kidding me.
Come on, old buddy, how long we been working together?
Yeah, well so long to you too.
Well, kid, I'm sorry.
If you can't sing, you're not worth anything in Nashville.
- What do you mean? - It's simple.
You signed the contracts. It's over.
- What's over? - Everything's over.
Your singing career, your record deal...
...your rented houses, your money, everything.
But I've had a number one hit.
We haven't even released a second single. There's gotta be some money left.
Who do you think's paying for all this?
The cash advance, the studio time...
...the studio musicians, the professional band...
...the producer, the music video...
...the transportation...
...Morita's Cadillac...
...the cell phone bills, everything? This is part of your deal.
Right now, you owe the record company a lot of money.
And if you're lucky, lucky...
...your album sales will offset most of the costs and you won't get sued.
Singing's what made you special, kid.
If your voice is gone, so are you.
I been waiting for you, child.
I tried to call you a million times. Why didn't you answer?
- Are you okay? - Oh, I'm fine.
Didn't wanna talk on the phone.
You look sick.
You sound sick.
I lost my voice.
I know.
It takes a strong person to carry a gift that big.
You have to be strong enough to follow the rules.
I don't know what to do if I can't sing.
You can sing, child. Sing like a bird.
You just have to learn to do it differently.
You don't understand.
I've lost my voice. It's gone.
And the doctors say I'll never get it back.
Then you'll have to learn to sing with your heart.
How do I do that?
You search your heart.
Search for what?
For a way to make amends.
For the wrongs that were done and the people that were hurt.
Right now...
...your heart is empty, child. I can feel it.
When your heart once again is filled...
...with love and joy...
...you'll sing again.
It might not sound the same but you will sing.
Sing like you never thought you could.
Sure is nice to see you, again, Bobbie.
It's nice to see you, too, Wes.
I appreciate you driving me all this way.
Aw, what could be better than a beautiful girl in my truck...
...driving down the road on a beautiful afternoon?
It really is a nice truck.
- Sure you don't mind waiting? - No, no.
Not when I got a CD player like this baby's got. Ha, ha.
Just gentle, like this.
Hi, I'm Sis. This is Megan.
Hi, I'm Bobbie.
I was looking for Dale.
I know who you are.
Dale's my brother. But he isn't here right now.
Could you stay with Megan while I go answer the phone?
- Sure. - Thanks.
How you doing, Megan?
- Do you like horses? - Yes.
They're soft.
They say the softest spot in the whole world is a horse's nose.
- Do you wanna feel? - Mm-hm.
- You like that? - Mm-hm.
Wow. That's amazing.
Most of the kids will relate to horses...
...even if they don't pay any attention to people.
But we've had trouble with Megan.
She hasn't responded till now.
This is amazing.
Well, this is Dale's thing.
It's very special.
That's why he rides all those damn bulls.
It costs a lot of money to keep a place like this going.
I'm not sure what we're gonna do with him all busted up in the hospital like that.
Hospital?
Watch it.
Oh, sorry.
Howdy.
Is he okay?
Old bull smacked him pretty good this time.
I keep telling him he should stop...
...but he thinks he gotta keep on riding till that barn's paid off.
That's his whole deal in life, you know, helping them kids.
To look at him, you wouldn't know he was one of them.
- What? - He was autistic like them kids...
...he's helping now.
- He was autistic? - Yep.
We didn't know what you called it back then.
We just thought he was slow.
Never spoke a word till he was 11 years old.
I used to take him down to the barn and let him sit on the horses.
He seemed to like it.
Hell, the first word he ever spoke was "horsy," not "mama" or "dada."
Can you beat that?
One day a bee stung this old bay horse right there on the butt...
...while Dale was sitting on him.
That old horse would have broke you in two, but now Dale...
...he hung on.
That's the first time he ever smiled.
- How long do they think he'll be like this? - Like what?
Unconscious.
Hell, he ain't unconscious, he's just asleep.
Dale, Dale, wake up, son. You got company.
What?
Hi.
You bet on the bull again, didn't you?
Thank you.
I think right now we need to thank a very special young lady.
The young lady that put this whole thing together.
Bobbie Thomas, come on up here to the stage and take a bow.
A very important person in my life once told me...
...when I lost my voice, that I could sing from my heart.
So if you will excuse the sound of my voice and just listen to my heart...
...I'd like to sing a very special song for these very special kids today.
There comes a time in everybody's life
When your destiny is born
And there's no doubt What you're all about
Is there without a warning
And when it comes You gotta take it
And believe you're gonna make it through
There's not a challenge you can't face
There's not a rainbow you can't chase
Dream big
Reach high
Don't ever be afraid Just spread your wings and fly
With a heart full of faith A whole lot of luck
And some love to see you through
Dream big
And it just might come true
Always know what the future holds
Is in the hands of fate
And don't forget That when times gets tough
The gift is worth the wait
But when it finally comes together
Your star will shine forever more
And you'll give hope to all the rest
Show them how to be the best
Matthew, Joseph. Come here, quick.
- What's all the ruckus? - Look.
I've never seen this before.
What do you think it means?
It means...
...the gift should be returned.
She has redeemed herself...
...found a way to sing without her voice.
Well, it seems you're right.
Well, go on.
Dream big
Reach high
Don't ever be afraid
Just spread your wings and fly
With a heart full of faith A whole lot of luck
And some love to see you through
Dream big
And it just might come true
Come on, come on
- Dream big - Dream big
- Reach high - Reach high
Don't ever be afraid Just spread your wings and fly
With a heart full of faith, a whole lot of luck And love to see you through
