Patsy...
Patsy...
Thank y'all so much for coming out tonight.
Hey, You ready boys?
Aw, he's on the ball tonight.
Jack Benny! You git back here!
Don't you take those back there! Move!
Why're you squishin' him!
Take the lizard, put him back where you got him
and get in the tub!
Cissy what happened to your nighty?
There you go sir.
Aw, Zip it, Bill. I'm not flying out there so
some songwriter can blow smoke up my skirt.
Now, Just let me cut the damn song!
I get to pick what I sing.
That's our deal.
And I wanna sing "Poor Man's Roses".
Well, if you do "Walkin'"...
"Walkin'" ain't a country tune!
I'm a country singer!
Patsy! This man's trying to take our fridge!
What? Hold on Bill. Just, hold on.
And what are you doing?
Repossessing your fridgerator.
But I'm only two months late!
Four.
Mama, I gave you the money.
Stop!
I know, I know it but you needed that new costume
and I thought I was gonna get some extra mending
and Mrs. Vernon said...
Ok It's fine, Mama. You don't have to explain. I just, huh...
Can't we just work something out there Delwood?
Look I can take cash or I can take the fridgerator.
Check?
I can take cash or I can take the fridgerator.
Don't move.
Still there Bill? Alright so here's what we're gonna do.
You're gonna wire me fifty dollars,
an advance on future royalties.
Then we're gonna put out a record
with your nothin' pop song on one side,
and my "Poor Man's Roses" on the other.
And I want it before the Godfrey show.
Arthur Godfrey?
Yes isn't it great.
Well thank you Bill.
Now do me a favor and tell my good friend Delwood
here what a big important record man you are and
how it would be a personal favor to you
if he left my fridge where he found it.
Who the hell is Delwood?
Hello?
Delwood? Listen, its Bill West. You heard'a me?
Yes sir. Yep.
Well, put the lady's fridge back.
Right away sir.
Loretta baby, you sing so pretty.
Didn't realize I was doing it.
You sure you don't wanna do it professional?
You... Why do you keep asking me that?
'Cause you keep singing.
Doo.
Mm-hmm
I ca...
Doo, you want your dinner? Stop...
Hey, hey Come on. Kids are outside. Come on.
Come on.
Jack Benny, what did I tell you about
letting that dog in the house!
I didn't mean to Mama.
What you got there?
Looked like a broke rubber ball.
We was playing fetch.
No, that's your damn diaphragm.
You got no business digging in my things!
You put that dog out and you go to your room!
But Ma, it's still light out!
You want daddy to whoop ya?
Oh, come on. We'll have fun.
I don't like lying... not one bit.
You need to find someone else.
But we're not lyin'. You're Hilda Hensley.
We ain't gotta tell 'em you're my Mama, too.
But I ain't your "talent scout", whatever that means.
And that woman from the show was pretty clear, 'no family'.
Which is why we ain't tellin'.
Hey, I get a hit record outta this,
I will buy you two fridges.
Please.
Ain't nobody I want there with me but you.
Ohhh. Fine.
Thank you, mama.
It's perfect. This is it.
This is what I'm gonna to wear.
You can't wear that.
I'll have someone take you shopping after rehearsal.
Now, what are you going to sing?
uh, my single, "Poor Man's Roses."
Hmm, What else do you have?
Will you even heard it?
I like you, Patsy I do.
And I think you can succeed here.
But if you feel more comfortable on
the hillbilly circuit, we'll understand.
Well what the hell's wrong with being a hillbilly?
Well not a thing.
But every week millions of people across this country tune
their radios and televisions in to Arthur Godfrey.
You're singing for them too.
Now, do you have anything else?
Hmf.
Hello Miss Hensley,
who do you have with us this evening?
Well, I have Miss Patsy Cline with me
from Winchester, Virginia.
Winchester, you say?
Mama, can you sing "In The Pines"...
Uh-uh, Turn around, and sit still.
I want you to sing a song 'for bed.
'm not sure baby, but hush up now because it's fixin' to start.
Doo come on. Jeepers!
Let me listen to my program in peace.
You do what ever you want.
Boys!
Thanks to you, we have Miss Pasty Cline.
Mama, you should sing on the radio.
What'd I tell ya?
I think you've won this thing.
Who's Charlie?
Mh-hmm?
How'd you find me?
Remembered you from the talent shows back in school.
Asked around.
You're from Winchester?
Born and raised.
Hmm. Folks back home talk a lot.
Sure. I heard it.
You probably got the wrong idea about me, then.
Didn't say I believed it.
Thank You.
Ain't why I tracked you down, anyway.
Oh Yeah? Then why did ya, hoss?
I ain't never seen no one like you.
Sorry, ma'am. But I couldn't possibly
accept you as a member of the Turtle Club.
Oh come on, ask me another one! Come on.
First rule of Turtle Club?
Turtles are never vulgar.
I'm afraid you've already disqualified yourself.
Come on people can change!
Give me a chance to redeem myself.
Alright one more.
What four letter word starts with "f",
ends with "k," and if you can't get it,
you gotta use your hands?
A fork, you filthy minded woman.
A fork.
I ain't ever gonna be a member of the turtle club.
Listen.
