This is where the town begins.
This part of the country's been through a lot of changes.
Not all small ones, either.
I think they're in the process of going through another one.
You know, there's bound to be at least one person
who remembers when everything was just open land,
like it is right here,
and some people can just look at the land...just look at it...
and tell you what happened there.
This whole area was once under water...
almost still looks like it.
After that, there was a period
when dinosaurs roamed all over the place.
I used to be fascinated by dinosaurs when I was a kid.
A lot of kids were.
Recently, the bones of a woman who lived 20,000 years ago were found here.
They nicknamed her Midland Minnie.
The first inhabitants here
referred to themselves simply as “the people”.
Other groups they came in contact with were referred to as “friends”.
Texas comes from the Caddoan word for friend.
However, the Caddo were among the first to be wiped out by the early white settlers.
A group of Spanish settlers offered the Indians a chance to become slaves.
The Indians thought about it, decided it was not a good idea,
and killed the Spaniards.
The Spaniards were fighting the Mexicans. The Mexicans fought the Americans.
Americans fought the Wichitas. The Wichitas fought Tankowas.
Tankowas fought the Comanches. The Comanches fought everyone.
Meanwhile, most people who now lived here spoke Spanish.
Covert military operations to seize Texas for the U.S. of A.
Were begun in 1835.
Eventually, they did get Texas.
Land grabbers, railroad companies moved in.
The economy boomed. Some people got rich...
first on cotton, then cattle, then oil, and now, microelectronics.
The silicon-based transistor was first proposed here in 1949.
In 1958, Mr. Jack Kilby invented the integrated circuit.
He was working at Texas Instruments then.
He doesn't work there anymore.
This is the 150th anniversary of the State of Texas.
Prince Charlie - Duke of Windsor, Prince of Wales, even he came here
for the sesquicentennial opening ceremonies.
This out here... this is Virgil, Texas.
Their celebration's gonna happen this Friday.
They're gonna have a parade
that runs down the main street in the morning.
And then outside of town that night, they're gonna have a talent show.
You know, in a couple of years, this'll probably all be built up.
Radio reception's great here!
Although the center of town is pretty old,
around the outside, there's been a lot of people moving in,
a lot of construction.
Plummet right.
Steady!
5.32.
Move on.
This is where the stage for the performances is gonna be built.
It'll only take a couple of days
because it's all prefab.
They'll get it donejust in time, I hope.
Do you think there'll be enough parking, huh?
Plummet left!
- 4.50. - 4.50.
Good. Move on.
Be there soon.
Many of Virgil's festivities are sponsored by Varicorp.
It's a major public relations effort.
They're calling it a Celebration of Specialness.
But this place is completely normal.
Anyway, this is the Varicorp building just outside Virgil. It's cool.
It's a multipurpose shape... a box.
We have no idea whafs inside there.
Going to the keg party at Don's tomorrow?
Love makes everything beautiful, like a little puppy...
warm and fuzzy. You know, I like a hairy man.
Jesus was hairy.
It's worth it to fall in love,
to see the beautiful world.
Love is soft and love is pure.
Love is something that you must endure.
Love is peaceful and love is wild.
Love's all right if it lasts a while.
I know everything there is to know about love, honey.
I have seen it all and done it all.
I love money, and men like that.
Remember when I went out with Burt Reynolds?
Shoot, he was gonna quit the movies and live with me.
I said, “Burt, darlin', I need all ofyour money.”
He would have given it to me.
Don't be afraid. I'm gonna touch your nose.
What's that supposed to be?
Um, you see, I can read your tones.
Everybody has tones.
It's like everybody has their own station, like a transmitter.
- I guess you have your dial set. - Baby, I'm the only one that has a radio.
I'm picking you up.
You're sort of cool, sort of... h-h-hot!
Sort of... Baby, your mind is a radio
The receiver is in my head
Baby, I'm tuned to your wavelength
Let me tell you what it says
It's a transmitter
Da da da doom
I'm picking up something good
I like it. I like it. I like it.
Seems to be a different kind of attitude.
Yeah. Something's happening here, all right.
The world is changing...
and this is the center ofit right now.
Or the one of many centers.
It's a lot like music.
Computers are like that.
You can never explain
the feelings or connections to anyone else.
Figuring something out,
something that's never been understood before,
is a rhythmic experience.
Steve Jobs said that. He used to be the head ofApple.
- Thanks. - Yeah.
You know, some people in the computer business can be pretty creative,
unlike the traditional businessman.
You know, the astronauts didn't read poetry.
But that's changing.
Hi, Gary.
This is an exciting place to work?
Yeah, I guess I'd say so.
Computers are as much a means of expression as language.
Hi!
My name is Louis...Louis Fyne.
I've been working here a number of years.
Now I'm in the clean room.
It's pretty ok.
I go out at night.
I'm a dancin' fool!
Ha ha! Ha ha!
I'll tell you what...
Whew!
I love the women.
Hey, there's more to life than this job.
No offense, you understand. I'm no swinger. Not Louis.
I want to settle down. It would be beautiful.
Hey, these machines are great. They're amazing.
I tried a computer dating service once.
Wound up with a midget.
I mean, I'm not afussy man, but...whew!
Louis, tell me, do you like children?
They're lovely.
Well, do you know all the kids' names by now?
Uh...what, are they sitting alphabetically?
I want someone to share my life.
Marriage is a natural thing, and I'm a natural man.
Louis, I'd like to teach you the lotus position.
Moonstone, I'd like to learn it,
bull sit all day at work, so I'm not quite... real flexible.
Well, it's really quite simple.
Just take one foot, place it on the opposite thigh.
Very gently.
This is the most awesome yoga position.
Well, ifit's awesome...
Take the other foot.
This one goes here, very gently.
No, careful, careful.
Very gently.
Here, let me help you.
No, no. That's a different position.
Back this way, Louis.
There. Oh, you're doing very well.
Got it?
It's close. Very good.
Well, I suppose these freeways made this town and a lot of others like it possible.
They're the cathedrals of our time, someone said.
Not me.
You know, around here they have names for the various kinds of freeway drivers.
The slingshotter.
The adventurer.
The marshmallow.
The nomad.
And the weaver.
Yup, it's fancy driving, all right.
You know, things that never had names before are now easily described.
It makes conversation easy.
I have something to say about the difference between American and European cities...
but I forgot what it is.
I have itwritten down at home somewhere.
You like music?
Oh, I know.
Everybody says they do.
Look. I personally believe...
I can see Fort Worth from here.
Most people around here have eaten dinner already.
Don't want to be late. Know what I mean?
Or do you?
You've got to see this.
This might be part of Virgil's Celebration of Specialness...
or it might not be.
You might have seen it on television...
or maybe you missed it.
Hope you don't mind loud music.
All right, friends. Welcome.
The Crazy Cajun talking at you in Virgil city tonight
where everybody always has a good time.
We're gonna pass you some of that good time tonight.
In this drink, they mix 6 different kinds of liquor, but it don't taste too strong.
Would you like a raffle ticket?
They're $2.50 for the car.
Thanks, Ola.
You, you are the video...
I feel like getting drunk tonight.
How aboutyou?
When I was a nurse in Vietnam,
I was stuck out in the middle of thejungle with the real Rambo.
He had the hots for me. I mean, he was driving me crazy.
Of course, it would be difficult for anybody not to fall in love with you in that humidity.
And I saved his life about 50 times.
I bet you've seen me here before.
R-r-r-oar! Ha ha!
I'm the dancing bear.
- Hi, Louis. - Hey.
You gonna dance in the show on Friday?
- Yeah, yeah, but... - Excuse us.
I'm still having trouble with the ladies.
Buddy, I'll tell you.
Fact... there are 1/2 million more single guys
than there are gals, and the competition is tough.
We're gonna have a good time. Do it to it.
Most of them just want to swing or aren't really serious.
Some of these gals are as bad as the guys.
That's mine, there.
I'll take the red one.
We got a song coming up called 'Wild Wild Life'.
I want you to lip-synch it. Wait! Not now.
Let me tell you about myself. See, I'm cute.
Hey, Ramon. How are you? Good to see you.
- Partying? - Yeah, a little bit.
- Want me to read your tones, man? - Yeah. Go ahead.
Relax.
Chihuahua! Whew!
Hey, don't worry about it.
You're gonna be all right, man.
Take it easy. See you later, man.
I guaran-damn-tee you, you know, traveling is my life.
I just work at Varicorp for a hobby.
Let's go! Hello!
I'm wearin'
Fur pajamas
I ride a
Hot potato
It's tickling
My fancy

Peace of mind

Checkin' in
And checkin' out Uh-huh

Wild, wild life
And I know thafs the way you like it, oh ho
Livin' wild, wild, wild, wild

The El Paso border patrol...
Louis told me he heard about awoman who lives around here
and never gets out of bed.
She's not sick.
She's got enough money, she doesn't have to.
Hey, wouldn't you?
If I ever went downstairs, I might be surprised, huh?
It's clean down there, isn't it, Roberto?
That girl does a good job, doesn't she?
It's so clean, it scares me.
The beauty operator is coming over.
Hey, how should I have her do me this time?
Should I get it moussed?
Ooh! Ooh, look at that. There's a look.
What do you think about the gals on this show?
These people have too much metal on them, Miss Rollings.
They are reflecting kind of people.
You're right. Hey, how are those shares of Varicorp doing?
- About 30, 40. - Is that all?
That's about it.
Well, I'm not surprised. Cheap little pig shits.
It's the same all over.
Bunch of maniacs out there. Woo!
You know how hot dogs come 10 to a pack
and buns in packs of 8 or 12?
You've got to buy 9 packs to make them all match up.
That's what I'm talking about.
Since this mall opened,
C.R. Anthony, JCPenney, and even Duke and Ayers
have all pulled out of downtown Virgil.
Shoppers here go wherever the bargains are,
wherever it's convenient to shop.
They don't care if they shop in afunky old building downtown
or in a clean, modern place like this.
See, they're wise to advertisers' claims.
In a place like this, they can comparison shop.
Everybody could hardly wait until the mall opened.
Except Margie Ortiz.
I go there almost every weekend. So do 2 other girls from work.
See? I told you.
The shopping mall has replaced the town square
as the center of many American cities.
Shopping itself has become the activity that brings people together.
And here, the music's always playing.
What time is it?
No time to look back.
“Starving peasants sell their bodies to vampires for blood money!"
Ha ha ha!
Stores here are pretty clean.
The air is fresh.
There's plenty of parking, plenty of space to walk around.
Hi, how are you? How come you're not at work?
Oh, I'm working on a project at home.
I send signals up.
Oh, to satellites and things.
Further than that, I hope.
Oh.
Hey, I've got to get to work before all hell breaks loose.
- Oh. Don't let me stop you. - See you.
People here are inventing their own system of beliefs.
They're creating it...
doing it...
selling it...
making it up as they go along.
Driving...
not only driving, but parking.
Hey, there's Louis!
- Hi, how you doing? - Pretty good.
Did you have any luck at the club?
The women are too wild.
I had a good time anyway.
Look at these women.
Yeah, a little too old for me.
What are you doing here?
I thought I'd check out that fashion show.
Part of the celebration.
Twins.
Carol and Daryl. I knew their mama in high school.
She was a twin, too. Hi, twins.
I just thought I'd checkit out. Maybe I'd pick up a few fashion tips.
You know, I'm very aware of my appearance.
- I've noticed. - Yeah.
- Well, just check these out here. - Those are great!
Yeah.
Yep.
Like the song says, it's a scientific lifestyle.
Hmm. I don't know that one.
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen,
and welcome to another lovely event
for the Celebration of Specialness.
Today we have a fashion show,
and I think it's gonna be something that you'll just love.
It's very unusual. So come on!
Let's bring on the show!
From the Dream Factory, a bonanza of beauty!
This place is filled with women.
I'd like to remind you there's another event this Friday night...
That's Kay Culver.
For the Celebration of Specialness.
She's married to Earl. You've heard of him.
He pretty much single-handedly brought Varicorp to Virgil.
You know, I bet this mall wouldn't be here if it wasn't for him.
Oh, yeah? I'm having dinner with him later.
Well, listen, I heard that Earl and Kay haven't spoken to one another in years...
at least, not directly.
Do you believe it?
Ok.
What time is it?
If everyone notices, maybe it's too much.
But where would we be?
$29.95 is a pretty good price.
With 6 outfits and as many combinations,
the possibilities are endless.
Shopping is afeeling.
Sometimes I get a wobbly feeling.
I have a commercial feeling.
Be sexy in business.
Be successful at night.
I stole it off ofa spaceship.
And coordinate your outfit to match.
Let the children do the shopping.
If the room is pink, you're in the pink.
You have a right. It's all you.
There ought to be a law.
When you were little
You dreamed you were big
You must have been something
A real tiny kid
You wish you were me
I wish I was you
Don't you wake up
The dream will come true
Every dream has a name
And names tell your story
This song is your dream
You're the dream operator...
It's bigger than life
You know it's all me
My face is a book
But it's not what it seems
Three angels above
The whole human race
Dreamed us to life
They dream me a face
And every dream
Tells it all
And this is your story
You dreamed me a heart
You're the dream operator
Shake-it-up dream
Hi-de-ho dream
Fix-it-up dream...
Hmm.
Look at me dream
I've been waiting so long
Now I am your dream
Hard to forget
Hard to go on
When you fall asleep
You're out on your own
Let go of your life
Grab onto my hand
Here in the clouds
The world understands
And you dreamed it all
And this is your story
Do you know
Who you are?
You're the dream operator
Darling!
You know, I don't think I've felt this way before.
I know. Me neither.
My stomach feels all fluttery.
- It's great, though, huh? - Yeah, l...l guess.
People atwork must think I'm going nuts, though.
Well, if this is being nuts, then I don't ever want to be sane.
Ah.
Um, did you fart?
Yeah, I'm in the construction business.
Got work going on at 5 sites right now.
Bought me a condo last week.
Shoot, real close to here, as a matter of fact.
Next week, I might buy me another house.
Darlin', I'll tell you what, I just have afeel for it.
You know what I mean?
Of course, bein' overly psychic sure didn't hurt anything.
It's paid offfor me.
Listen, Mr. Frye, I'll tell you...
Fyne. Louis.
Louis, darlin', I'll tell you somethin'
if you promise not to tell another livin' soul.
Now, I'd never tell this to anybody else,
but I believe that part of my extra psychic ability
is connected up with the fact that I was born with a tail,
a little old bitty hairy thing about that long.
Had it surgically removed when I was just 5 years old.
My mama kept it in a fruit jar up in the medicine cabinet
between the cold tablets and the monkey blood.
I'd get up every mornin' first thing, I'd go in there and brush my teeth
and stare at my own tail at the same time.
Somethin' like that can give you power, and that's the truth.
Then Mama got a wild hair one Sunday
and she decided to go make a lot of money off ofit.
Took it out to the swap meet
and sold it to Lyndon Johnson's top secret service agent.
And he told a good personal friend of mine
that he was going to sell it for even more money to the Smithsonian Institute.
Shit, I said he might as well.
“Wouldn't do him any good. lt wasn't his tail.
Gee, I tell you, I could write a book.
That thing would be a best seller.
You know, that's funny you mentioned writing.
I'm...kind of a writer myself.
Is that right?
I wrote me a song
I want to do at the show Friday.
- That's great! - I hope it turns out all right.
I'm a little nervous.
Don't be nervous. Songs are easy.
I wrote 'Billie Jean' and half of Elvis' songs.
Elvis?
Hell, yes. They pay me, and I keep quiet.
You know, somebody's got to do it.
Excuse me just a minute, pumpkin.
I'll be right back, ok?
Sure, sure.
I'll be right here.
Shall we take a moment and give our thanks?
Hmm?
Amen.
Linda, will you ask your father to pass this down to our guest?
This looks great, Mrs. Culver.
Dad, will you pass this down?
Oh, yes.
Larry, would you pass this down, please?
Thank you.
Linda, would you ask your mother to pass the mustard to our guest, please?
- Mom, Dad wants the mustard. - Oh.
- There. - Thank you.
Look out for your water, now.
Pass this down to our guest.
Let me grab one of these. They're colorful. Are they fish?
Linda, would you ask your mom how the fashion show went today, ok?
Sure, Dad. Mom, how did it go today?
Oh, Linda, you tell him it was just wonderful,
although one woman did have an accident, but it wasn't anything serious.
He should have been there. He would have been proud of me.
She said itwent great, Dad. You should have been there.
Maybe next time.
I was there. I liked it.
I'd never seen anything like that, Mrs. Culver.
I'd never been to one of those things before.
You do that every year?
Oh, no, this isjust for the sesquicentennial.
You're in the parade?
Anderson Auto is lending us a red convertible.
Hmm.
Right. Larry may have a future at Varicorp.
With his young discipline and systems consciousness,
he could go along way, and Varicorp is growing
like there's no tomorrow.
Let me show you what I think is going on.
Do you hear music?
Is something wrong with your sister?
Mainframe.
Microprocessor.
Semiconductor.
All right, Dad!
Now...
if this is the town
and here is the workplace...
with its goods...
and distribution network...
Vroom!
Now, most middle-class people
have worked for large corporations like Varicorp
or for the Government itself,
but now all that's started to change.
Scientists and engineers are moving off from those large corporations like Varicorp
and they're beginning to start their own companies, marketing new inventions.
Excuse me, Mr. Culver.
I forgot what these peppers represent.
Ah-ha! It all spins back to the middle.
Here we are right here, in Virgil.
Our way of doing business has been based on the past.
That's why we have to keep these guys in Virgil even though they leave Varicorp.
For the time being, it's created confusion and chaos!
They don't work for money anymore
or to earn a place in heaven,
which was a big motivating factor once upon a time, believe you me.
They're working and inventing because they like it.
Economics has become a spiritual thing.
I must admit, it frightens me a bit.
They don't see the difference between working and networking.
It's all become a part of one's life.
Linda! Larry!
There's no concept of weekends anymore.
It thrills me.
It thrills me!
We can build a nation inside a nation right where we are.
The choice is yours.
I'm not a joiner.
I'm not a member of the John Birch Society or the Communist Party,
but let's look at what's happened
to the national morals since World War II.
We lost the Vietnam War.
The movies and the television are filled with characters
I don't even want to know, not in this life.
The farmer's in trouble.
The small businessman is in trouble.
Unemployment is skyrocketing.
Texas is still paying for John Kennedy's death, my friends.
It was love that killed John F. Kennedy.
He should have never messed with me.
Oh, no, I know nothing, Your Honor.
They want me to speak on '60 Minutes'.
Mike Wallace wants my body.
I don't tell a soul.
Well, they gave me so much money, what could I do?
Ummm... thank you.
That's exactly what I'm talking about.
Now, let's look at who's been running this country
since World War II.
They have some involvement in all of these.
What is the link?
What do cars have to do with books, you might ask.
The Trilateral Commission with the Council on Foreign Relations,
did you ever hear of them?
Well, neither did I, until I noticed the chain of coincidence.
They have members on the boards of all the largest corporations.
Not one detail has been left out.
Am I right? Do you feel it?
Yes!
Do you know what Bobby Ray Inman was doing
before he was running the Microelectronics and the Computer Tech Corporation?
Well, guess!
A CIA director. It's public knowledge.
Do you run out of Kleenex, paper towels, and toilet paper at the same time? You know it's true!
It's all true!
You remember how Governor White campaigned to get the MCC here?
Do you know what their goal is, huh?
Well, Elvis did!
Artificial intelligence! Huh?
Robots! They'd like that, wouldn't they?
Yes, sir! Sleep! Sleep!
One and one does not equal two! No, sir! No, sir!
Silicon gulch! Silicon prairie!
Silicon hill! Silicon valley!
You'd better wake up.
It's late
You got the CBS
And the ABC
You got 'Time' and 'Newsweek'
They're the same to me
Now, don't you want to get right with me?
Puzzlin' evidence
I hope you get everything you need
Puzzlin' evidence
Well, it's-apuzzlin' evidence
Puzzlin' evidence
Done hardened in your heart
Ohh, hardened in your heart...
Y'all listen.
Now, I am the gun
And you are the bullet
I got the power and glory
Puzzlin'
And the money to buy it
Puzzlin'
You got your Gulf and Western and your Mastercard
Puzzlin' evidence
Got what you wanted, lost what you've had
Puzzlin' evidence
I'm seein' puzzlin' evidence
Puzzlin' evidence
Done hardened in your heart
It's hardened up your heart
All right...
Are you listenin'?
What I'm sayin' is real.
Huh
Isn 't that puzzlin'?
Huh
I'm puzzlin'
Huh
I'm puzzlin'
Huh
I'm puzzlin'
Huh
Well, I hope that you're happy with what you've made
Puzzlin' evidence
In the land of the free and the home of the brave
Puzzlin' evidence
I'm seein' puzzlin' evidence
Puzzlin' evidence
Done hardened in your heart...
It's true. Ha ha ha!
All right now, y'all listen to what I've been tellin' you today, you hear?
All right.
Huh
Look at this.
Who can say it isn't beautiful?
The sky...
bricks...
Who do you think lives there?
4-car garage.
Hope...
fear...
excitement...
satisfaction.
I'm going to give you a clear vista
of the edge of the civilized world.
You see, it's like a game of leapfrog.
These houses, you know, they keep extending the town out
further and further every year.
It's kind ofweird for the first person that moves into a community like this.
I'll be! it is.
It's an imaginary landscape, a place to raise kids.
Of course, nowadays not everyone's having kids, with the end of the world coming up and all.
- I mean, would you? - No, not at all.
No, not until after tomorrow, after the show, huh?
Good morning, boys. Working hard, I see.
- Yes, sir. - A little coffee break?
It's strange when you look at a field
and you say, “Now, I want a bathroom there and a kitchen over here.”
You know, imagine that.
Here's a field. Take a look out.
Picture a house. Picture a lot of houses.
What else is afield good for but building houses?
Hey, now
Hey, now, now
I want a video
I wanna rock 'n' roll
Take me to the shopping mall
Buy me a
A rubber ball, now
Hey, now
Hey, now, now
Hey, now
Hey, now, now
I am the king of the world
The boss of the boys and girls
You can live to 110
If you listen to what I'm sayin'
Hey, now
Hey, now, now
Hey, now
Hey, now, now
Hey, now
Hey, now, nowJ'
Texas is the largest producer of metal buildings.
Metal buildings are the dream that modern architects had
at the beginning of this century finally come true, but they themselves don't realize it.
That's because it doesn't take an architect to build a metal building.
You just order them out ofa catalogue.
Just pick out your color, the size you want,
number of square feet, what style, what you need itfor.
It comes with a bunch of guys. They put it together in a couple of days. Maybe a week.
There you go. You're all set to go into business. Just slap a sign in front.
Drive on over.
Oh. He's gonna get killed!
Watch out!
Black and Decker's automatic shut-off iron...
because even those with the best memories can forget to turn their irons off.
Whoa! Oh, look at him!
Look at that bald spot!
I was so impressed, I bought the company.
Oh! Lucy!
I love you, Lucy!
Oh!
Ooh!

Hello, I'm Louis Fyne.
I'm lookin' for matrimony with a capital “M”.
I believe in the joys and contentment of matrimony.
Now, my chances in this world that prints a new diet book every month
may not be that good.
I'm lookin' for someone who can accept me for what I am.
I'm 6'3'' and maintain a very consistent panda bear shape.
I'm pleased with the way God made me.
I wouldn 't change a thing.
I'm willing to share.
Won't you please call this number?
8-4-4- W-I-F-E.
That's 844-WIFE.
Please call.
Serious inquiries only.
Mmm.
Can you believe that?
WOSo, umm, Louis...
what kind of hobbies do you have?
Do you have any pets?
No, I don't have any pets.
- I, uh... - Oh.
I had a dog when I was a boy.
Buster. He was a big old thing.
- What kind? - Oh, he's every which way.
He's a Heinz 57, I think they call them.
Well, they can be awful cute.
The little fluffy kind.
You know how they give them to you in a basket?
They're cute like that.
I like music a whole lot.
What kind ofmusic?
Oh, country music.
You like country music?
Oh, you knowl do!
Well, not that Hollywood country.
Oh, Hank Williams and Merle Haggard
and...Tammy...
and Lefty and Patsy...
- Oh, yeah. - Mm-hmm.
You know, I think music is one of the sweetest things,
and if it's sweet, it's probably cute.
You just can't have enough sweetness in this world.
No, ma'am, you can't.
As a matter of fact, I've written a little song I'm gonna sing at the show tomorrow night.
It's about my life. What else do I know, huh?
I'll give you a little sneak preview.
Would you?
You hold on right there.l hope you like it.
It'd mean a lot to Louis.
Ahem!
Hmm!
In 1950, when Iwas born
Papa... I haven't written this verse quite yet
6 feet tall
And size 12 shoes
Na na na nana na na
People like us
We don't want freedom
We, uh, meow meow meow meow
We just want
Someone to love
Ta-da!
Well, what did you think?
When you're singing,
your eye sockets go back in your head and your eyes get beady.
Well, what about my music?
It's awful sad.
I couldn't have that kind of sadness in my life.
Do you really feel that way?
I... I never thought about it.
Maybe I am kind of sad. I like sad songs.
They make me want to lie on the floor.
Louis the bear on the floor.
I guess I'll go now.
Sorry.
It was nice talkin' to you.
Louis the bear...
out the door.
Good-bye.
Cheer up.
A little more bottom.
Always a little more bottom.
Great. Ok, let's go to number 2.
Ramon!
- You can't come in without paying. - I don'twant to dance.
I just want to talk to my friend Ramon on the little organ over there.
Ser chicano
En los barriosme pueden encontrar
Porque ahito dititos me conocen

I'm just going to come right back out.
Fine.

De repente voy y cruzo la frontera
Para ir a divertirmea todo dar...
Ramon!
Hey, Louis! Can you wait 5 minutes, man?
- I got a break. - No.
Did you talk to him?
Yeah, man. You got the photograph?
You got the bucks? The cash?
Thanks.
Matamorospor reynosa
Da lo mismo porquealla saben gozar...
Hold it right there.
Hey, officer, what's going on here?
Come on. Let's get out of here.
I said freeze!
What's going on here?
Uh...ahem!
Ramon gave me this address.
Well, hi.
Come on in.
Did you bring a photograph?
Thank you.
You know, I'm new at this.
Don't matter. You don't have to believe.
If you follow directions, you can't go wrong.
Mm-hmm.
You want to attract love.
Ha ha! How did you know?
Your heart is too large.
You're an honest man.
Matrimony... it's my life,
and I want to share my life.
I've tried everything.
Often our true nature is not what we hope it is,
but you, in your case, you're drawn to love.
Whatever you think is what you get.
Love must be drawn to you.
Come on and let me take care of this here.
Discharge the negative forces you have involuntarily received.
Remove anything that's metallic.
Now, this will take sometime.
Um...
I'm going to sing tomorrow night.
Will this help?
I'll work on you tonight and tomorrow.
Take this.
Close this. Like that.
Now, drink 3 soda waters a day.
Drink half and throw half away.
Yeah. Think positive.
Don't let nothin' enter into your mind that's negative.
If you do that and have faith and believe, you got it.
It's done.
Go... and enjoy your love life.
Sayonara.

Hi out there and good evening and welcome.
Welcome to our talent show under the stars.
Before we begin, I want to tell you a story I heard aboutTexas
recently in a local tavern.
It seems God was working around here,
trying to make it beautiful like the rest of the world.
He had to knock off because it was nighttime.
He said, “I'll come back tomorrow
“and make it as pretty as the rest of the world
with lakes and streams and mountains and trees."
He got back the next day, and He saw the ground had hardened like concrete.
And He didn't want to begin all over again. No.
In His infinite wisdom, He had an idea.
He said, “l know what I'll do.
I'll make some people that like it this way.”
I want you to welcome this first act here.
They'll tell you more about Texas in 5 seconds than you'd ever want to know.
I want you to welcome, please,
Charles Connour, Norm Seaton, and Randy Erwin.
All right!

but my managers won't let me do anything local or amateur.
Then they decided I was too much like Pat Benatar.

Papa legba
Come and open the gate
Hey, Papa legba...
How about them old line dancers?
I don't think they'd fit in my house.
To the city of camps
We are your children
Come and ride your horse
In the night
Come and ride your horse
There is a queen
6, 7, and 9
Dustin your garden
And poison in your mind
There is a king
That will steal your soul
Don't let him catch you
Don 't let him get control
Papa legba
Come and open the gate
Papa legba
To the city of camps
We are your children
Come and ride your horse
In the night
Come and ride your horse
In the night
Come and ride your horse
Oh, yes. Wasn't that nice?
Now, ladies and gentlemen,
I want you to welcome the Country Bachelors.
In 1950, when I was born
Papa couldn't afford to buy us much
He said be proud of what you are
There's somethin' special 'bout people like us
People like us
Who will answer the telephone
People like us
Growin' big as a house
People like us
We're gonna make it becau-wa-wause
We don't want freedom
We don't want justice
We just want
Someone to love
Well, now
What good is freedom?
God laughs at people like us
I see it comin'
Like a light comin' down from above
The clouds roll by, and the moon comes up
How long must we live in the heat of the sun?
Millions of people are waitin' on love
And this is a song about people like us
People like us
Who will answer the telephone
People like us
Growin' big as a house
People like us
We're gonna make it because
We don't want freedom
We don't want justice
We just want
Someone to love
Yay! Yay!
More! More!
Hello?
Yes.
This place is a dream palace.
Did you see the catalogue?
Oh, no. I didn't.
It's gorgeous! You'll have to look.
Well, you're gorgeous. He's awful cute, too.
Do you like the colors?
She's pretty, too.
I think you can see Varicorp from here.
Louis, where are you going on your honeymoon?
The bear is staying with me!
I think he's from Pluto, or he might even be from Venus.
You know, he is real good-looking.
This is not a rental car. This is privately owned.
Well... I really enjoyed forgetting.
When I first come to a place, I notice all the little details.
I notice the way the sky looks, the color of white paper,
the way people walk, doorknobs, everything.
Then I get used to the place, and I don't notice those things anymore.
So only by forgetting can I see the place again as it really is.

Here where you are standing
Dinosaurs did a dance
The Indians told a story
Now it has come to pass
Indians had a legend
The Spaniards lived for gold
White man came and killed them
But they haven't really gone
We live
In the city of dreams
We drive
On this highway of fire
Should we awake
And find it gone
Remember this, our favorite town
From Germany and Europe
And Southern USA
They made this little town here
That we live in to this day
The children of the white man
Saw Indians on TV
And heard about the legend
How their city was a dream
We live
In the city of dreams
We drive
On this highway of fire
Should we awake
And find it gone
Remember this, our favorite town
The Civil War is over
And World Warland II
If we can live together
The dream, it might come true
Underneath the concrete
The dream is still alive
100 million lifetimes
A world that never dies
We live
In the city of dreams
We drive
On this highway of fire
Should we awake
And find it gone
Remember this, our favorite town
