Now the story goes that John Denver, he was

playin' at this little ol' place called the Cellar Door in Washington, D.C...

...around Christmas time in 1970.

His opening act was this husband and wife duo,

named Bill Danoff and Taffy Nivert

and they called them self Fat City.

That's kind of a funny name.

Yeah, that is kind of a funny name. Socket, uh, 5/8ths.

Now, one night, they decide to go on back to the house

and have a little jam session.

On the way, they got into an accident

and John Denver, he broke his thumb.

And when they finally got back to the house,

and Bill and Taffy played him,

played John Denver this song they'd been working on,

he flipped for it, man.

And they worked on that thing till dawn.

Screwdriver.

Flat head or Phillips? Flat.

So that's why you like the song.

Well, I like the song because of the song.

I mean, I guess I also like it

'cause it's got a story behind it.

You know, Bill Danoff later said that

he ain't never even been to West Virginia.

Well, I like the song, too,

but I don't really think it'll work for the pageant.

Pliers.

Regular or needle-nose?

Needle.

So you comin' to my rehearsal?

Yeah. I'm gonna pick you up right after work.

Just so you know, I asked Mommy

if she and Moody would pay for your cell phone.

She said even if they did, you wouldn't take it.

Sadie bug, she's right.

The only thing

I need a cell phone for is takin' pictures of you.

Gun show!

Hey, Daddy. Nope.

All right.

What say, Cal?

Hey, hey, Jimmy. Come on in. Shut that door, would you?

Yeah. Have a seat.

Jimmy, I'm just gonna say it. I got to let you go.

Cal, I... I didn't even do nothin', man.

I know you didn't do nothin'.

But last week, someone in H.R. saw you leaving,

walking out to your truck and they saw you was limpin'.

So?

My leg ain't got nothin' to do with drivin' that Case out there.

I know that.

I know, but the folks over in the big office, they feel different.

And they said you didn't list it on your paperwork

when you was first brought on.

No. They are callin' it

a "pre-existing condition"

and that it is a liability issue.

Okay, this big then. What is that, two to three feet?

This big and you let me drive my truck around the track tonight.

Look, it's a four-wheel drive. It isn't gonna hurt you.

Almost heaven

Purple Lady, you know my brother, Jimmy?

Oh, Jimmy Logan, that ball player

that was gonna be a big deal?

Hey, Purple Lady.

My husband, the Major, when he was still alive,

he loved LSU football.

Whenever they'd show the games here local, we'd watch.

Of course for me, it was all about the uniforms.

Their jerseys are the most striking shade of purple.

Purple.

Yes. Purple and gold. Royal colors.

Yeah, I got off early,

so I figured I'd take Sadie on over to her dance thing,

so you didn't have to drive her.

Well, that's great and all,

you wanting to see your daughter dance and everything.

But it was yesterday.

Shit.

Excuse you.

I got her there fine, by the way.

See, most people think

if you're gonna go to Charleston, then, duh,

you get on the 85 to Danville,

then the I-19 to Charleston. 54 miles.

But, bein' 4:00 p.m.,

I knew not the best time of day to be on the road.

And they're still doing

all that shoulder work on the I-19.

Plus, then you got the sun right in your eyes

for that whole stretch outside of Julian.

So, yeah, I took the 85 to Danville,

but then I hopped onto the 3,

so instead of goin' up and over,

I'm goin' over and then up.

And after that it was a straight shot on the Daniel Boone Parkway

all the way to Marmet.

Well, sure sounds like you love to drive.

It was just a rehearsal, not like the real pageant,

but Bobbie Jo is not happy.

Now, why didn't you call me'?

I tried, but your cell phone seems to have been turned off.

You should pay your bills. Everyone needs a cell phone.

But I don't like 'em.

You one of them Unabomber types?

Yeah. I am one of them Unabomber types.

See, I don't like people tellin' me what to do,

like, "Answer the phone."

Hey. Oh, this is gonna be good.

Look, I'm sorry, okay? I'm sorry, I thought...

I knew it was 4:00,

I just thought it was 4:00 today.

That's the first time you've used that excuse!

Look, I said I was sorry, all right?

Mellie said y'all figured it out just fine anyway.

She also tell you that she got pulled over

goin' 30 miles over the speed limit

with my daughter in the car?

It's our daughter.

Sadie said her Aunt Mellie "worked her Mellie magic"

and talked the cops into not givin' her a ticket!

So that's a real good character-building experience

for our daughter to witness.

Yeah. Don't laugh at me!

Yeah, whatever, forget it. What's up with the sale sign out there?

You didn't tell me you and Moody was buyin' a new house.

Daddy! Hey!

Ah!

What you doing? Nothing.

Ow! Ow. Man!

Hey, me and, uh, your momma were just talkin' about

maybe me and you goin' to get some ice cream.

I'm not allowed ice cream anymore.

Says who?

Mommy. She says it's got too many calories

and that nobody loves a fat girl.

You ain't... I... I think that's a little bit harsh.

This is some of that

co-parenting stuff that you and I need to talk about.

That Doctor Phil stuff.

Hey, Jimmy!

Hey, Moody.

Yeah, what's goin' on, sweetie? Wow. Thank you.

Hey, hey! Hey, you two don't settle down, we ain't gonna get no mall.

Daddy, will you come with?

We're takin' Sadie and the boys to see that...

That new, uh, Furious Fast movie at the mall.

You want in?

Uh...

That's a little... That's a little intense for the kids, ain't it?

They love it. Keeps 'em quiet.

They sit there starin' at the screen the whole time, scared shitless.

- You want to come? - Please?

I got to get going to work. You know?

I ain't got time for a whole movie.

But you go and have fun. Give me a hug.

Not on my back.

But we're gonna get some ice cream.

Promise? Okay.

But it's got to be yogurt, 'cause I got the pageant comin' up.

Oh, I finally know what song I'm gonna sing for talent.

What song? Umbrella by Rihanna.

When Rihanna sings Umbrella,

she's not really singing about a rain umbrella,

she's really singing about her vagina. It's code.

Who told you that?

Everybody.

Come on, let's go! Everyone in the Expedition. - Whoo!

Hey, kiss your mother when you leave.

Kiss. Kiss. Aw. Thank you.

See you, sweetie. Bye.

Hey. Yep?

- I wasn't done talkin' to you yet. - Okay.

What am I in trouble for now?

We need to talk about some legal stuff.

Hey, uh, Jimmy, uh, your car.

Moody, can ya give us a minute?

Okay.

Legal stuff?

- You was askin' about the "For Sale" sign? - Yeah.

Moody's expanding-

His family's openin' up a new dealership down in Lynchburg.

That's across state line.

Hell, no, you can't just tell me that,

like I ain't got no say in the matter.

You'll still get your days! Just we'll be in Lynchburg.

You can drive across the state line to pick her up.

I have full custody.

It's not happenin'. I'm getting a lawyer.

With what money?

What do you say there, Earl? Hey, Jimmy.

So...

- I've been uncoverin' a lot. - Oh, shit.

Did you know Aunt Maggie, in 1983,

won the Lotto, but washed the ticket...

It's folk tales and backwood gossip.

Well, you got to admit this kind of stuff
