A Song for Imogene (2023) Movie Script
1
Hey.
Hey, hey.
Wasn't expecting you.
Ted cut some guys early.
Missed you.
What? They'll be fine.
I'm good. Oh god.
What the hell?
Hey. When'd this happen?
God damn it.
Come on.
Did you pay the bill?
Yeah, I paid it.
Look, Roxanne said she'd
get me on a good shift
at the bar if I come back.
Babe, the tips are good there.
It'll only be a couple
nights a week.
Yeah.
Alex.
How's it gonna fix this, huh?
Hey, Rox.
Is this it?
Yep.
You sure you don't
want me to wait?
Make sure everything's okay?
I'll be fine.
Thanks, Hun.
Don't get lost out here.
Thank you.
Hey, Cheyenne, this
is Doctor Paulson
up at the Pembroke
Medical Center.
I wanted to let you know,
Sandra was admitted
again last night.
We're going to keep
an eye on her,
but just give us a call
back whenever you get this,
all right?
910-.
Where's your car?
Now I know if I ever want
my kids to come visit,
I just have to go and have
myself a heart attack.
Who called you?
Was it that bitch
from reception?
She has an out for
me, I tell you what.
The doctors can't do
their job for shit.
Even if they had a
gun to their head.
Believe you me, some of them
have had a gun to their head.
Would you get me my ashtray?
It's setting by the
kitchen window.
I'll take a beer
while you're in there.
Are you going to
make me drink alone?
You're not pregnant, are you?
Did they say anything?
About what?
About what's going
on, how you can keep
from this happening
all the time.
Those doctors, don't
give a shit about me.
They're better off if
I just keep on dying.
So that's it?
That's it.
Mama.
You know I had a leak?
Not like a faucet,
but inside the walls.
Hissing, spraying,
God knows where.
'Course I don't know
what the hell to do.
I had Becky's husband
come by and take a look.
Redneck piece of shit
made it worse, of course.
Then you wouldn't believe,
AJ Lowry, you remember him?
He come by and he fixed it.
Did a damn good job
too, considering.
What? You come all the way
down here to lecture me?
Mama, I need some money.
'Course you do.
I'll pay you back as
soon as I get on my feet.
What's his, your
husband, boyfriend?
He don't help you?
We're not -- .
I think I need to leave him.
Just like your father,
always running.
Y'know the grass doesn't
get any greener, trust me.
He don't hit you, does he?
It's hard to keep him happy,
and he don't like me working.
What a hardship that must be.
Chey --
I'm gonna go get us some food.
This top looks incredible
with bright colored pants.
Yeah,
absolutely fantastic.
What a statement.
How fabulous?
Off the
shoulder, wearing it like this.
Or wearing
it like that.
Then
you get this ruching,
this beautiful ruching
all the way around,
and the elastic is
beautiful around the neckline.
And then you get -- .
I'm going to bed.
And
sort of a gray --
Don't bother.
I'll get it in the morning.
Beautiful
sleeve on the ankle.
And then this beautiful,
heavy, heavy lace.
And then when you
get down here.
Yep.
This is gathered.
Yeah.
So this is
ruched, it's ruched on the side,
both sides, and I'm going
to show you something else.
So this is netting, which
actually holds you in.
So if you want
to wear a skirt, your tummy,
it's like having a
bit of shape wear.
Oh, completely.
Goodnight.
So you can wear
this inside a skirt, like this,
and it's smooth, and you can
wear it so that it's ruched
up like that, and then
you can pull it down.
Magnificently.
It's life-changing.
Patient's
being transported routine,
at this time.
No. No, it was sudden.
You know, I don't know.
I'm not sure.
Okay. How much will that be?
Uh. What if he can't
afford that?
So do you have to
get the urn or-- ?
You know, is the box,
like, sturdy enough?
Uh-huh.
Okay. Yes.
Yes, ma'am.
I'm going to need
to call you back.
Yep. I will, thanks.
I can't do anything
with this for you.
This is junk.
1974, Les Paul.
It's beautiful.
It's in good shape,
all original.
There's a crack there.
What are you looking to
do here, pawn or sell?
I need to sell it.
Where'd you get it?
It was my dad's.
Well, probably the
best I can do is 500.
No. That's the best I can do.
650. That's my final offer.
All right.
Let's go write it up.
The number
you have dialed is not available
at this time.
At the tone, please
leave a voicemail.
Fuck.
Cheyenne, I know you
see me calling you.
I know you seen Alex
show up on the ID.
What are you doing?
You can't keep running
forever, baby.
I'm the only home you've got.
I love you.
Janelle.
Holy shit.
What the hell are you doing?
What the hell are you doing?
You broke in.
I lost my key.
How long you been here?
Since the hospital.
Where the hell have you been?
Mama's, Mama's gone.
Yeah, sorry.
Noah got sick and I had to drive
all the way to Jacksonville
to find an Urgent
Care to take Medicaid.
Oh shit.
Noah, this is your Auntie Chey.
Say hey.
Hey.
You thirsty?
Is Mimi here?
Mimi's in heaven now, remember?
When will we see her again?
Not for a while.
What?
I didn't know you'd be here.
Well, I called you.
No you didn't.
Yeah, I did.
I haven't had that
number in like 6 years.
Okay, so this is Noah?
You can talk to him.
Hey, Noah.
How old are you?
Use your words.
Five.
I wouldn't use that shit.
Here.
Did you send in an obituary?
No. I've been a little
busy and we need to figure
out the memorial first.
We're not burying her, right?
No, it's way too expensive.
Well, that's cool.
I didn't realize you'd
been coming home.
Here and there.
Figured Mama would
have mentioned it.
Well, she wasn't really
retaining that much at the end.
I guess it was the
drinking and the meds.
Hell, she probably thought
it was you half the time.
So how you been?
Good.
Mom life. Living here and there,
working in restaurants mostly.
What about you?
Mom.
What baby?
I'm hungry.
I'm going to run to The Pig.
You want to stay here
with him, or you coming?
Hey man, watch it.
You're going to poke
a hole in that,
you'll have to buy
it, eat it raw.
Oh, Harold called me.
Noah, get down.
He want to talk about the will.
Who?
Mom's attorney.
You have the will?
Noah, go get us a pizza.
Janelle, I've been
looking everywhere for it.
Well, I'd I lose it.
Harold's got it at his office.
What?
His name is Harold?
Like and the purple crayon?
I had that same thought
first time I met him.
I can't believe I
just remembered that.
You were obsessed
with that book.
It's his favorite.
Well, I don't know
what he told you,
but it may not come to much.
I called the banks.
I don't have all that
paperwork showing power
of attorney, though.
Well yeah, it's all in
the house, the estate.
What about the house?
She left it to us.
I thought you hadn't
seen the will?
I haven't.
And that'll be $28.15.
I got it.
No, here.
No, really, it's okay.
Sorry. I feel like I know you.
Isn't this?
Yeah.
No.
Yeah, yeah.
You used to sing that song.
God, what was it?
Delta Dawn.
At all Jesse Ray's,
basement parties.
Yeah, you were great.
I don't remember that, sorry.
I don't know.
Thanks Robbie.
You're welcome.
See you later.
Bye. Did you get one?
This is a nice car.
It's not mine.
I'm just borrowing
it from a friend.
You can put him down
in Mama's room.
He likes ours.
I'm out of cigarettes.
I might have some.
I should probably quit anyway.
Thanks for handling everything.
I honestly didn't know what
to do when I got the call.
My ears started ringing.
Having to tell Noah.
It's messed up explaining
death to a kid.
You know, near the end, when
she was in and out the hospital,
I always brought her back
here, but I never came inside.
I just couldn't.
I'd sit up in the
yard and watch her go.
You know, she never looked back.
Not once.
I don't get it.
After everything that
Mama put us through,
all the guilt she shoved down
our throats with everything
that happened with Dad, I
never thought I would ever come
back here.
Never thought I'd set
foot in this house again.
Let alone bring my kid here.
Yeah, no.
All this time you
were coming back.
I was the one getting
the calls, Janelle.
With the heart failure
and the liver failure,
and all the bullshit.
That was me.
I know.
Well, if you knew, why
didn't you do anything?
Why didn't you help?
Because it was your turn, Chey.
I did my part.
Your part?
Everything was different
after you left.
The past doesn't change just
because you decide it
don't concern you anymore.
I'll call the Funeral Home.
I fixed pizza.
What do you even
wear to a memorial?
Wakey, wakey, eggs and bakey.
Eggs and bakey, huh?
I'm a mole.
Hey, AJ called.
Colleen's ready at the shop.
You coming?
Colleen?
My bike.
Yeah. Don't give me that.
Noah, breakfast.
Noah.
Eggs and bakey?
Are you the one working
in this house?
Eat your breakfast.
Look, I was thinking after this
we could go see about the will.
Get that figured out.
Hey.
Hey, do you mind
following me in mom's car?
Sure.
Are you all right?
Yeah, I'm fine.
Why?
I don't know, you
just seem tense.
I'm good. Noah, shoes.
What? All right, come on.
When did they say
they'd need it back by?
Two weeks.
Yeah, I was thinking
it was the battery.
I'm starting to think
it's the alternator.
I've got some time, I
can work on it tomorrow.
Okay.
Hey.
Hey.
Hey, Chey.
Hey
It's been a long time.
Yeah.
Hey, Kora.
AJ fixed mama's leak.
Yeah, I know, she mentioned.
Sorry about your loss.
Thank you.
I'll get your receipt.
What?
Borrowing a friend's car?
Now I know why you've
been coming home.
Shut up.
Batteries fixed, just
need a signature.
It says there's no charge.
You didn't have to do that.
It's all good.
You still working on music?
Thought maybe that's what you'd
been doing all these years.
Oh, not really, no.
What about you?
Just been here.
Hey, you should take
Colleen back.
No, what?
It'll be good for you.
I know you still
know how to ride.
I'll call you.
Okay.
See you back at the house.
You good?
Yeah.
Noah's down.
What is that?
I found it in mama's closet.
I can't believe I missed these.
Yeah, they must be left over
from when she was pregnant.
I kind of like it.
Look, I need Harold's number,
I'm going to call
him first thing.
You want some?
I'm all right.
I think I have something
better anyway.
It's probably old as shit.
Was that just in there?
Yeah.
You got papers.
Shit, yes, I do.
No.
Janelle, that is the most janky
high school shit I've ever seen.
I can't believe she
just has that.
You didn't know Mama smoked?
Where did she even buy it?
Robbie.
Well, that explains a lot.
Think she was always a little
stoned there towards the end.
Or maybe it was just,
I don't know, apathy.
At least it made her nice.
Yeah, I think she felt
like she had to be.
You know, because of Noah.
Not bad.
Whatever.
Place is a wreck.
I think he takes after me.
I still can't believe
you're a mom.
Me neither.
It's hard.
The older he gets the more I
feel like I don't have the right
to tell him what to
do, how to behave.
I feel like I'm faking
it most of the time.
Does his dad help out?
I didn't want him to.
What's it like being pregnant?
Shit.
Weird.
Weird and beautiful.
Feels like a lifetime ago.
I remember thinking, is my
body really meant to do this?
Must have been, because
it just kept changing.
And it felt right.
The first time he kicked, that's
when I became a mom, I think.
He wasn't a separate
part of me anymore.
We were connected.
I still feel like that.
Even now when he's off running
around being his
own little person.
I still remember what it felt
like to hold him in my body.
Do I know him?
Who?
Noah's Dad.
He's in Fayetteville
last I heard.
What about your guy?
You're not married, are you?
No, we've only been
together about two years.
Well, what's his name?
Alex.
But we're not.
I mean, I left him, I guess.
You guess?
Yeah, right before Mama died.
That's why I was here.
So it happened?
I mean, things were
fine at first.
More than fine.
I loved him, I think.
We met when I was waiting
tables down in Biloxi.
What the hell were
you doing, Biloxi?
I was still trying to get out
West, but I ran out of money.
I had a friend with a hook
up at one of the casinos
and I was laying low,
playing a couple shows,
mostly slinging drinks.
Just putting it away for a car.
Alex was doing contract work
down at the basin Gulfport.
He come in after shifts and
we drink, talk about music,
what we wanted to
do with our lives.
Just kind of dream
together, you know?
So what happened?
Things changed.
I still can't believe you
and AJ Lowry are thing.
Can you imagine that
back in high school?
Yeah. He looked really good
fixing that leak in Mama's wall.
Are you done with this?
Hey, how come you blew
Robbie off earlier?
He was asking about
how you used to play.
I just don't like talking
about that stuff anymore.
It's in the past.
Damn.
That's sad.
There isn't any money in music.
Well yeah, not at first.
Nobody makes it right
off the bat.
Yeah, but it wasn't
really going anywhere.
Alex made enough for us both
to float us for a little while,
and when his job was up we
took my savings and just got
in the car and headed West.
We hit New Orleans and
just kept on going,
trying to make it
to the Grand Canyon.
Why am I talking about this?
You were telling me
why you quit music.
Right.
Yeah, Mama got sick, and I mean,
I was broke by the time we
got back here and got a place.
I wonder if it's
as big as they say.
What?
The Grand Canyon.
They say it's like
nothing you've ever seen.
Like river cutting
through rock a mile deep.
And I mean, people,
they hike down there
and they just stay
there for days.
Why?
Because they want to.
I remember when we got
through Texas, I just cried.
I don't know why, it's like the
way the sky opens up like that,
right before your eyes.
Just felt like coming home.
It reminds me of Grammie.
Living out there in New Mexico?
Arizona.
Arizona.
Out there in that mud house.
What? She literally lived
in a house made of mud.
You don't remember her
talking about that?
It was cob.
Same difference.
I wonder if it's
still out there.
It would've been
cool if you found it.
How come you came back?
Shit, feels like I never left.
I'm always right down the road
from this God forsaken county.
But uh, I don't know.
Noah mostly, and I got
tired of living in motels.
This is a good one.
Delta Dawn, what's
that flower you have on?
Could it be a faded
rose from days gone by?
And did I hear you say --
He was meeting
you here today to take you
to his mansion in the sky?
She's 41, and her
daddy still calls her baby.
Everyone around Brownsville
thinks she's crazy.
Because she walks downtown
with a suitcase in her hand.
In her younger days
they called her Delta Dawn.
Prettiest woman you
ever laid eyes on.
Then a man of low
degree stood by her side,
promised her he'd
take her for his bride.
Delta Dawn --
What's going on?
Old lady working tonight?
No, she out of town.
She's what now?
She ain't around.
Letting out the leash.
Careful, man, you remember what
happened to Hank's old lady.
Aw, piss off, Grigs.
Naw, dude, I seen Alex's
girl, she good and quiet.
Well, ain't you lucky.
I can't get my old
lady to shut her mouth.
Well, maybe you should find
something to put in it.
Can we get some wings
or something?
I'm hungry.
I bet your fat ass is.
Delta Dawn, what's
that flower you have on?
Could it be a faded
rose from days gone by?
And did I hear you say he
was meeting you here today
to take you to his
mansion in the sky?
To take you to his
mansion in the sky.
Thank you very much.
Do you ever wonder about Dad?
Like where he ended up?
I stopped thinking about
that a long time ago.
People like that
don't come back.
I've missed you.
I think I'm pregnant.
Well, that's a good
thing, right?
I think so.
Does he know?
I want to do it on my own.
I'm happy for you.
Me too.
Morning.
Morning.
How long you been up?
A while. Mama's sleepy.
Yeah, I bet.
Why do you drink that?
Makes me less sleepy.
I'm only sleepy at night time.
That's good.
You want some milk?
Noah, do you go to school?
I did once.
Yeah? Did you like it?
It was all right.
Mom says we'll go to school
now that we live here.
Really?
I liked it better
when Mimi was here.
Was she nice to you?
She gave me toys sometimes.
It's not ready yet.
Hey, Scutters.
Look, I was thinking we
could go into town today,
figure out the will, see
what's next for the house.
Janelle.
Yeah, okay.
Sounds good.
Well, when should we go?
Whenever I'm not doing anything.
Well, did he say anything
about paperwork when you were
on the phone with him?
Janelle.
Yeah, no, he didn't say
anything about paperwork.
Well, can I have his number?
I don't mind giving him a call
to double check before we
go all the way down there.
Cheyenne, it's so early.
Okay, fine.
Are you ready?
Can I just have your phone?
I'm full.
Sure, fine.
Mom, I'm full.
I hear you, baby.
Go find Mr. Stick.
Noah says y'all are going
to be living here now?
Yeah, all three of us can.
It's our house.
Well, I think we
should at least talk
about what it would
look like to sell.
Property value's gone up now
that the factory's bought out.
This place could really
go for some money.
Enough to get us
both on our feet.
What the hell, Janelle?
Why do you want to
sell the house?
I didn't say that.
You literally just did.
Can I just have your phone?
Fine, it's your damn
house anyway.
I know.
How do you know that?
Does it matter?
I should have told you earlier.
You think?
I just thought if you believed
she left it to the both
of us then you might stay.
Why the hell would I stay here?
I have been sitting
here by myself,
going through all
this shit trying
to get this place
up on the market.
Is this why you were
coming back,
so she would leave it to you?
Even if it was, it didn't work.
Obviously.
I cannot believe you.
I really wanted you to stay.
You never think about
anybody other than yourself.
I don't need this.
Noah!
Now.
Because I say so.
Just do it.
Come on.
Where are you going?
Does it matter?
You deal with it.
Hey. Excuse me.
Hey, we're not taking
any more walk-ins.
Oh no, I'm looking for
someone you might know.
Cheyenne Barrow.
Nope, don't know that name.
You sure?
Seems like the kinda place
everybody knows somebody.
Look, man, I ain't got
time for small talk.
I'll let you know when we get
that alternator in
from Fayetteville.
Appreciate it.
See you.
Can I help you?
Nope, just asking
for directions.
Appreciate it.
Take care now.
Oink, Oink, here,
and an oink, oink there.
Here an oink, there an oink,
everywhere an oink, oink.
Old McDonald --
Wait here.
It's hot.
Okay, come here.
It won't be cold, but
it'll blow the air around.
Hey.
Can I talk to you?
I just need a minute.
Okay. Yeah, come on.
What's up?
I'm losing the house.
I thought you said you
and Chey owned it, 50/50.
Yeah. Well, we don't.
It's hers and she wants to sell.
Have you talked to a lawyer?
I can't afford that.
If she sells, we
got no place to go.
I should get him home.
Janelle.
Come here.
It's open.
Come on, Janelle.
Hey.
Mind if I come in?
Hey.
I missed you so much.
Chey, I missed you so much.
Chey.
Shh. It's okay.
Hey, I'm right here.
Look at me.
Oh, I've missed you.
Baby.
Come here.
What's wrong?
Please, don't make
me do this right now.
Why don't you want me
touching you, Chey?
I can't.
I treat you right, keep
a roof over our heads.
Is there somebody else?
Is there somebody else?
How can you ask that?
What am I supposed to think?
After you just get up
and run off like that?
That's right, just walk away.
I'm not walking away.
Why don't you want
me touching you?
You afraid I'll be able
to tell the difference?
Be careful, you're
dripping it everywhere.
Oh, hey.
I was wondering who's
truck that was.
I'm Alex.
I'm Janelle, this is Noah.
Noah.
What's up man?
Hey, I'm so sorry
about your mom.
Thanks. I just wish I was here
with Chey when it happened.
Yeah, I would have been here
sooner, but it's hard to get
up with Chey sometimes.
Make sure I figure out that
phone when we get back.
I have stuff for you to look at.
Papers. And you need a napkin.
Come on.
Yeah, go.
Sorry, this place
is such a mess.
It's been crazy trying to go
through all the Sandra's stuff.
We've barely been able
to leave the house.
Yeah, I bet.
Well, does anyone want a beer?
Is that you?
Yeah. When Dad was here.
He took that picture.
You two look a lot alike.
We used to get that.
I could write a damn book report
on Thomas the Tank
Engine at this point.
But at least it works.
Hey, can you grab me
another while you're up?
That was the last one.
Well, damn.
I can go on a run.
I can do it, it's okay.
Actually, that'd be
great, because I need to go
over this deed shit with
Chey before y'all leave.
Yeah.
Are you sure?
Yeah, I don't mind.
I'll be right back.
Just, you know, be good.
Okay, what is going on?
He's just always like
this around new people.
I thought y'all broke up.
Yeah, I know.
You're being weird.
I'm fine.
Well, did you tell
him you're pregnant?
What?
Did you tell him
you're pregnant?
Didn't you want to go
over that paperwork?
We'll
just take this.
Can I see your ID?
Yes, Ma'am.
And yours.
Why the fuck do you
need to see my ID?
It's fucking wine.
Y'all need to get out of here.
Are you serious?
Stupid.
Go on.
Come on, let's go.
Bitch.
Takes one to know one, hun.
Just the Hamm's.
It's going to be $8.50.
So?
I mean, it's all right here.
Seems like a sick joke,
she'd leave it to me.
Well, you still think
you're going to sell?
I know it's your
decision, legally.
I don't know, try
to think ahead.
Think about the baby.
I need the money.
We both do.
You really want to
live in this place?
What is this?
Lavender wallpaper.
I saw it in a magazine once.
We can clear all the shit
out from our old room.
Hey. I was scared shitless
when I found about Noah,
but it all worked out.
You said you want to
try something new?
I saw today that
the bank's hiring.
And I'll be here,
I'll be a good aunt.
You're not going to
be an aunt, Janelle.
Since when?
This morning.
Are you sure?
I could barely tell what it was.
It was so tiny.
But I knew.
She's gone.
It was a girl?
I thought so.
I was gonna name her
Imogene, after Grammie.
Cheyenne, I'm sorry.
Me too.
You know, Alex is the
reason I don't play anymore.
Why I can't pick up a guitar.
What?
Made him jealous, I guess.
Because you're good?
He just didn't like
the way other people,
other guys looked at me.
When I was up there, like it
threatened him or something.
That's bullshit, Chey.
Yeah. You know the
real shitty part?
I still love him.
In this weird messed up way.
It's like, I don't know, like
he's messed with my mind.
He's got this hold on me.
You don't deserve that.
I know, but I've hurt him too.
Everybody's hurt, and
everybody's been hurt.
We're humans, it's what we do.
Take it easy girl, take it easy.
Get out.
Get out.
Get out!
Thanks for the drink, asshole.
Are you OK?
Yeah, I'm fine.
Are you sure?
Yeah, I'm sure.
I tried, Janelle.
I'm just so tired.
You're one of the
strongest people I know.
The whole reason I was able to
leave town was because of you,
because I wanted to
be just like you.
Don't confuse running
with being free.
Does he?
Ask and ye shall
receive, or some shit.
What'd I miss?
Nothing.
That don't look like nothing.
We were just talking about Mama.
Oh, yeah, Mama.
Mama. Mama, Mama, Mama.
Where's the ice?
The thing's broken.
Two and a half hours
on my day off,
no ice for the whiskey, sis?
We just thought you
were getting beer.
Oh, well you thought wrong.
Didn't you?
I'm just fucking with you, man.
Let's play some cards or
something, it's early yet.
I'm pretty tired.
I think I'm going to hit it.
Take a beer if you want.
Waste of money.
I think there's some cards
around here somewhere.
I don't want to play cards.
Were you even going
to come back?
I'm sorry.
Are you?
I wouldn't say it
if I didn't mean it.
Yeah, you would.
Are you pregnant?
No.
Why can't you just admit it?
I'm not pregnant.
How can you say you love me and
lie to my face like that, Chey?
I don't get it.
I didn't say I love you.
Well, fuck me.
Look, I was pregnant,
but I'm not anymore.
That doesn't even make sense.
What the fuck?
Where are you going?
I feel fucking crazy.
Alex!
Alex!
Alex, stop!
Hey, get off, get off me.
You're drunk.
Hey. Hey, hey, what
are you doing?
No.
Just give me the fucking keys.
Alex.
Enough. Enough!
Ahh.
Hey, what the hell is going on?
Alex.
What happened?
Oh god.
Are you okay?
Oh my god.
Did he hit you?
It was an accident.
Let him walk it off.
Cheyenne.
Hey. Hey, come here.
It's okay.
Come here.
It's all right.
I'm sorry.
Are you all right?
Why is there everyone mad?
We're not mad.
We're not mad, okay?
Okay.
Alex was upset, but
he's gone now.
Why does he do that?
Because he's a very
angry person.
Will he get better soon?
No, he won't.
But he's not going to
hurt you or anybody, okay?
Okay.
He'll be gone in the morning.
Hey. Come on, get up.
Come on.
Where's Noah?
He's out back.
Thanks.
What about the truck?
I think it's fine.
He's got it.
Chey. Chey.
You coming home today?
There's still a lot
to do for the house.
You want some eggs?
No. No, no, thank you.
Hey, do you mind watching this?
I'm going to go check on Noah.
You can say it.
I don't have anything to say.
Are you sure you're not hungry?
Stop asking me that.
What is it?
Do you want to talk
about last night?
You do, apparently.
So spit it out.
I was pregnant, but I
lost it yesterday morning.
Okay.
That's it?
You don't have anything to say?
What do you want
me to say, Chey?
Huh?
Alex, I lost our child.
Does that mean anything to you?
Of course it means something.
I don't get credit unless
I react the way you think
I should?
I'm not coming home with you.
Okay.
Okay.
God damn it.
Cheyenne.
Cheyenne.
Come with me.
I won't ask you again.
You better be gone before
Noah gets back in here.
Okay, baby.
You just remember, this
is what you wanted.
I can do something
cooler than that.
You ready?
Is he gone?
I'm proud of you.
I just want to get in the car
and drive till I can't
recognize anything anymore.
I can look into getting
the house up for sale.
You don't have to do that.
Well, it's not mine.
I don't want it.
You need it.
You and Noah.
Are you serious?
Thank you.
I love you.
Noah really wants to go
down on the creek tonight.
Can you stay?
In the night when
the wind comes howling.
Just one more night?
Over the mountains
and the forest in my mind.
In the shadow places
I try to hide.
I catch myself longing
for a feeling.
Now bring it over to here.
The places
I've never known.
I tip my hat to the sun, honey
I got time to figure it out.
It looks like --
I'm a river
running to the sea.
Let me wonder where I belong.
Give me back to the
wild that knows me.
Drink the rain that
washes me clean.
I take the road less known.
I tip my hat to the sun.
Honey, I got time
to figure it out.
I'm a river running to the sea.
I'm a river running.
How do you dream
in a world on fire?
I'm not asking for myself,
I'm asking for my child.
I want her to know
what it feels
like to be free, to be wild.
How do you dream
in a world on fire?
When I was young I got
to be lost and lonely.
Got to leave the town
where everyone had known me.
I got to follow that winding
road just to see where it goes.
How do you dream
in a world on fire?
When I was young, I got
to be lost and lonely.
Got to leave the town
where everyone had known me.
I got to follow that winding
road just to see where it goes.
I got to sing the
sweet, sad song of youth.
I got to follow my
dreams, my truth.
How do you dream
in a world on fire?
I'm not asking for myself,
I'm asking for my child.
I want her to know
what it feels
like to be free, to be wild.
I got to sing the
sweet, sad song of youth.
I got to follow my
dreams, my truth.
Oh, how I wander how you do.
Oh, how I wander how you do.
How do you dream
in a world on fire?
I'm not asking for myself,
I'm asking for my child.
Hey.
Hey, hey.
Wasn't expecting you.
Ted cut some guys early.
Missed you.
What? They'll be fine.
I'm good. Oh god.
What the hell?
Hey. When'd this happen?
God damn it.
Come on.
Did you pay the bill?
Yeah, I paid it.
Look, Roxanne said she'd
get me on a good shift
at the bar if I come back.
Babe, the tips are good there.
It'll only be a couple
nights a week.
Yeah.
Alex.
How's it gonna fix this, huh?
Hey, Rox.
Is this it?
Yep.
You sure you don't
want me to wait?
Make sure everything's okay?
I'll be fine.
Thanks, Hun.
Don't get lost out here.
Thank you.
Hey, Cheyenne, this
is Doctor Paulson
up at the Pembroke
Medical Center.
I wanted to let you know,
Sandra was admitted
again last night.
We're going to keep
an eye on her,
but just give us a call
back whenever you get this,
all right?
910-.
Where's your car?
Now I know if I ever want
my kids to come visit,
I just have to go and have
myself a heart attack.
Who called you?
Was it that bitch
from reception?
She has an out for
me, I tell you what.
The doctors can't do
their job for shit.
Even if they had a
gun to their head.
Believe you me, some of them
have had a gun to their head.
Would you get me my ashtray?
It's setting by the
kitchen window.
I'll take a beer
while you're in there.
Are you going to
make me drink alone?
You're not pregnant, are you?
Did they say anything?
About what?
About what's going
on, how you can keep
from this happening
all the time.
Those doctors, don't
give a shit about me.
They're better off if
I just keep on dying.
So that's it?
That's it.
Mama.
You know I had a leak?
Not like a faucet,
but inside the walls.
Hissing, spraying,
God knows where.
'Course I don't know
what the hell to do.
I had Becky's husband
come by and take a look.
Redneck piece of shit
made it worse, of course.
Then you wouldn't believe,
AJ Lowry, you remember him?
He come by and he fixed it.
Did a damn good job
too, considering.
What? You come all the way
down here to lecture me?
Mama, I need some money.
'Course you do.
I'll pay you back as
soon as I get on my feet.
What's his, your
husband, boyfriend?
He don't help you?
We're not -- .
I think I need to leave him.
Just like your father,
always running.
Y'know the grass doesn't
get any greener, trust me.
He don't hit you, does he?
It's hard to keep him happy,
and he don't like me working.
What a hardship that must be.
Chey --
I'm gonna go get us some food.
This top looks incredible
with bright colored pants.
Yeah,
absolutely fantastic.
What a statement.
How fabulous?
Off the
shoulder, wearing it like this.
Or wearing
it like that.
Then
you get this ruching,
this beautiful ruching
all the way around,
and the elastic is
beautiful around the neckline.
And then you get -- .
I'm going to bed.
And
sort of a gray --
Don't bother.
I'll get it in the morning.
Beautiful
sleeve on the ankle.
And then this beautiful,
heavy, heavy lace.
And then when you
get down here.
Yep.
This is gathered.
Yeah.
So this is
ruched, it's ruched on the side,
both sides, and I'm going
to show you something else.
So this is netting, which
actually holds you in.
So if you want
to wear a skirt, your tummy,
it's like having a
bit of shape wear.
Oh, completely.
Goodnight.
So you can wear
this inside a skirt, like this,
and it's smooth, and you can
wear it so that it's ruched
up like that, and then
you can pull it down.
Magnificently.
It's life-changing.
Patient's
being transported routine,
at this time.
No. No, it was sudden.
You know, I don't know.
I'm not sure.
Okay. How much will that be?
Uh. What if he can't
afford that?
So do you have to
get the urn or-- ?
You know, is the box,
like, sturdy enough?
Uh-huh.
Okay. Yes.
Yes, ma'am.
I'm going to need
to call you back.
Yep. I will, thanks.
I can't do anything
with this for you.
This is junk.
1974, Les Paul.
It's beautiful.
It's in good shape,
all original.
There's a crack there.
What are you looking to
do here, pawn or sell?
I need to sell it.
Where'd you get it?
It was my dad's.
Well, probably the
best I can do is 500.
No. That's the best I can do.
650. That's my final offer.
All right.
Let's go write it up.
The number
you have dialed is not available
at this time.
At the tone, please
leave a voicemail.
Fuck.
Cheyenne, I know you
see me calling you.
I know you seen Alex
show up on the ID.
What are you doing?
You can't keep running
forever, baby.
I'm the only home you've got.
I love you.
Janelle.
Holy shit.
What the hell are you doing?
What the hell are you doing?
You broke in.
I lost my key.
How long you been here?
Since the hospital.
Where the hell have you been?
Mama's, Mama's gone.
Yeah, sorry.
Noah got sick and I had to drive
all the way to Jacksonville
to find an Urgent
Care to take Medicaid.
Oh shit.
Noah, this is your Auntie Chey.
Say hey.
Hey.
You thirsty?
Is Mimi here?
Mimi's in heaven now, remember?
When will we see her again?
Not for a while.
What?
I didn't know you'd be here.
Well, I called you.
No you didn't.
Yeah, I did.
I haven't had that
number in like 6 years.
Okay, so this is Noah?
You can talk to him.
Hey, Noah.
How old are you?
Use your words.
Five.
I wouldn't use that shit.
Here.
Did you send in an obituary?
No. I've been a little
busy and we need to figure
out the memorial first.
We're not burying her, right?
No, it's way too expensive.
Well, that's cool.
I didn't realize you'd
been coming home.
Here and there.
Figured Mama would
have mentioned it.
Well, she wasn't really
retaining that much at the end.
I guess it was the
drinking and the meds.
Hell, she probably thought
it was you half the time.
So how you been?
Good.
Mom life. Living here and there,
working in restaurants mostly.
What about you?
Mom.
What baby?
I'm hungry.
I'm going to run to The Pig.
You want to stay here
with him, or you coming?
Hey man, watch it.
You're going to poke
a hole in that,
you'll have to buy
it, eat it raw.
Oh, Harold called me.
Noah, get down.
He want to talk about the will.
Who?
Mom's attorney.
You have the will?
Noah, go get us a pizza.
Janelle, I've been
looking everywhere for it.
Well, I'd I lose it.
Harold's got it at his office.
What?
His name is Harold?
Like and the purple crayon?
I had that same thought
first time I met him.
I can't believe I
just remembered that.
You were obsessed
with that book.
It's his favorite.
Well, I don't know
what he told you,
but it may not come to much.
I called the banks.
I don't have all that
paperwork showing power
of attorney, though.
Well yeah, it's all in
the house, the estate.
What about the house?
She left it to us.
I thought you hadn't
seen the will?
I haven't.
And that'll be $28.15.
I got it.
No, here.
No, really, it's okay.
Sorry. I feel like I know you.
Isn't this?
Yeah.
No.
Yeah, yeah.
You used to sing that song.
God, what was it?
Delta Dawn.
At all Jesse Ray's,
basement parties.
Yeah, you were great.
I don't remember that, sorry.
I don't know.
Thanks Robbie.
You're welcome.
See you later.
Bye. Did you get one?
This is a nice car.
It's not mine.
I'm just borrowing
it from a friend.
You can put him down
in Mama's room.
He likes ours.
I'm out of cigarettes.
I might have some.
I should probably quit anyway.
Thanks for handling everything.
I honestly didn't know what
to do when I got the call.
My ears started ringing.
Having to tell Noah.
It's messed up explaining
death to a kid.
You know, near the end, when
she was in and out the hospital,
I always brought her back
here, but I never came inside.
I just couldn't.
I'd sit up in the
yard and watch her go.
You know, she never looked back.
Not once.
I don't get it.
After everything that
Mama put us through,
all the guilt she shoved down
our throats with everything
that happened with Dad, I
never thought I would ever come
back here.
Never thought I'd set
foot in this house again.
Let alone bring my kid here.
Yeah, no.
All this time you
were coming back.
I was the one getting
the calls, Janelle.
With the heart failure
and the liver failure,
and all the bullshit.
That was me.
I know.
Well, if you knew, why
didn't you do anything?
Why didn't you help?
Because it was your turn, Chey.
I did my part.
Your part?
Everything was different
after you left.
The past doesn't change just
because you decide it
don't concern you anymore.
I'll call the Funeral Home.
I fixed pizza.
What do you even
wear to a memorial?
Wakey, wakey, eggs and bakey.
Eggs and bakey, huh?
I'm a mole.
Hey, AJ called.
Colleen's ready at the shop.
You coming?
Colleen?
My bike.
Yeah. Don't give me that.
Noah, breakfast.
Noah.
Eggs and bakey?
Are you the one working
in this house?
Eat your breakfast.
Look, I was thinking after this
we could go see about the will.
Get that figured out.
Hey.
Hey, do you mind
following me in mom's car?
Sure.
Are you all right?
Yeah, I'm fine.
Why?
I don't know, you
just seem tense.
I'm good. Noah, shoes.
What? All right, come on.
When did they say
they'd need it back by?
Two weeks.
Yeah, I was thinking
it was the battery.
I'm starting to think
it's the alternator.
I've got some time, I
can work on it tomorrow.
Okay.
Hey.
Hey.
Hey, Chey.
Hey
It's been a long time.
Yeah.
Hey, Kora.
AJ fixed mama's leak.
Yeah, I know, she mentioned.
Sorry about your loss.
Thank you.
I'll get your receipt.
What?
Borrowing a friend's car?
Now I know why you've
been coming home.
Shut up.
Batteries fixed, just
need a signature.
It says there's no charge.
You didn't have to do that.
It's all good.
You still working on music?
Thought maybe that's what you'd
been doing all these years.
Oh, not really, no.
What about you?
Just been here.
Hey, you should take
Colleen back.
No, what?
It'll be good for you.
I know you still
know how to ride.
I'll call you.
Okay.
See you back at the house.
You good?
Yeah.
Noah's down.
What is that?
I found it in mama's closet.
I can't believe I missed these.
Yeah, they must be left over
from when she was pregnant.
I kind of like it.
Look, I need Harold's number,
I'm going to call
him first thing.
You want some?
I'm all right.
I think I have something
better anyway.
It's probably old as shit.
Was that just in there?
Yeah.
You got papers.
Shit, yes, I do.
No.
Janelle, that is the most janky
high school shit I've ever seen.
I can't believe she
just has that.
You didn't know Mama smoked?
Where did she even buy it?
Robbie.
Well, that explains a lot.
Think she was always a little
stoned there towards the end.
Or maybe it was just,
I don't know, apathy.
At least it made her nice.
Yeah, I think she felt
like she had to be.
You know, because of Noah.
Not bad.
Whatever.
Place is a wreck.
I think he takes after me.
I still can't believe
you're a mom.
Me neither.
It's hard.
The older he gets the more I
feel like I don't have the right
to tell him what to
do, how to behave.
I feel like I'm faking
it most of the time.
Does his dad help out?
I didn't want him to.
What's it like being pregnant?
Shit.
Weird.
Weird and beautiful.
Feels like a lifetime ago.
I remember thinking, is my
body really meant to do this?
Must have been, because
it just kept changing.
And it felt right.
The first time he kicked, that's
when I became a mom, I think.
He wasn't a separate
part of me anymore.
We were connected.
I still feel like that.
Even now when he's off running
around being his
own little person.
I still remember what it felt
like to hold him in my body.
Do I know him?
Who?
Noah's Dad.
He's in Fayetteville
last I heard.
What about your guy?
You're not married, are you?
No, we've only been
together about two years.
Well, what's his name?
Alex.
But we're not.
I mean, I left him, I guess.
You guess?
Yeah, right before Mama died.
That's why I was here.
So it happened?
I mean, things were
fine at first.
More than fine.
I loved him, I think.
We met when I was waiting
tables down in Biloxi.
What the hell were
you doing, Biloxi?
I was still trying to get out
West, but I ran out of money.
I had a friend with a hook
up at one of the casinos
and I was laying low,
playing a couple shows,
mostly slinging drinks.
Just putting it away for a car.
Alex was doing contract work
down at the basin Gulfport.
He come in after shifts and
we drink, talk about music,
what we wanted to
do with our lives.
Just kind of dream
together, you know?
So what happened?
Things changed.
I still can't believe you
and AJ Lowry are thing.
Can you imagine that
back in high school?
Yeah. He looked really good
fixing that leak in Mama's wall.
Are you done with this?
Hey, how come you blew
Robbie off earlier?
He was asking about
how you used to play.
I just don't like talking
about that stuff anymore.
It's in the past.
Damn.
That's sad.
There isn't any money in music.
Well yeah, not at first.
Nobody makes it right
off the bat.
Yeah, but it wasn't
really going anywhere.
Alex made enough for us both
to float us for a little while,
and when his job was up we
took my savings and just got
in the car and headed West.
We hit New Orleans and
just kept on going,
trying to make it
to the Grand Canyon.
Why am I talking about this?
You were telling me
why you quit music.
Right.
Yeah, Mama got sick, and I mean,
I was broke by the time we
got back here and got a place.
I wonder if it's
as big as they say.
What?
The Grand Canyon.
They say it's like
nothing you've ever seen.
Like river cutting
through rock a mile deep.
And I mean, people,
they hike down there
and they just stay
there for days.
Why?
Because they want to.
I remember when we got
through Texas, I just cried.
I don't know why, it's like the
way the sky opens up like that,
right before your eyes.
Just felt like coming home.
It reminds me of Grammie.
Living out there in New Mexico?
Arizona.
Arizona.
Out there in that mud house.
What? She literally lived
in a house made of mud.
You don't remember her
talking about that?
It was cob.
Same difference.
I wonder if it's
still out there.
It would've been
cool if you found it.
How come you came back?
Shit, feels like I never left.
I'm always right down the road
from this God forsaken county.
But uh, I don't know.
Noah mostly, and I got
tired of living in motels.
This is a good one.
Delta Dawn, what's
that flower you have on?
Could it be a faded
rose from days gone by?
And did I hear you say --
He was meeting
you here today to take you
to his mansion in the sky?
She's 41, and her
daddy still calls her baby.
Everyone around Brownsville
thinks she's crazy.
Because she walks downtown
with a suitcase in her hand.
In her younger days
they called her Delta Dawn.
Prettiest woman you
ever laid eyes on.
Then a man of low
degree stood by her side,
promised her he'd
take her for his bride.
Delta Dawn --
What's going on?
Old lady working tonight?
No, she out of town.
She's what now?
She ain't around.
Letting out the leash.
Careful, man, you remember what
happened to Hank's old lady.
Aw, piss off, Grigs.
Naw, dude, I seen Alex's
girl, she good and quiet.
Well, ain't you lucky.
I can't get my old
lady to shut her mouth.
Well, maybe you should find
something to put in it.
Can we get some wings
or something?
I'm hungry.
I bet your fat ass is.
Delta Dawn, what's
that flower you have on?
Could it be a faded
rose from days gone by?
And did I hear you say he
was meeting you here today
to take you to his
mansion in the sky?
To take you to his
mansion in the sky.
Thank you very much.
Do you ever wonder about Dad?
Like where he ended up?
I stopped thinking about
that a long time ago.
People like that
don't come back.
I've missed you.
I think I'm pregnant.
Well, that's a good
thing, right?
I think so.
Does he know?
I want to do it on my own.
I'm happy for you.
Me too.
Morning.
Morning.
How long you been up?
A while. Mama's sleepy.
Yeah, I bet.
Why do you drink that?
Makes me less sleepy.
I'm only sleepy at night time.
That's good.
You want some milk?
Noah, do you go to school?
I did once.
Yeah? Did you like it?
It was all right.
Mom says we'll go to school
now that we live here.
Really?
I liked it better
when Mimi was here.
Was she nice to you?
She gave me toys sometimes.
It's not ready yet.
Hey, Scutters.
Look, I was thinking we
could go into town today,
figure out the will, see
what's next for the house.
Janelle.
Yeah, okay.
Sounds good.
Well, when should we go?
Whenever I'm not doing anything.
Well, did he say anything
about paperwork when you were
on the phone with him?
Janelle.
Yeah, no, he didn't say
anything about paperwork.
Well, can I have his number?
I don't mind giving him a call
to double check before we
go all the way down there.
Cheyenne, it's so early.
Okay, fine.
Are you ready?
Can I just have your phone?
I'm full.
Sure, fine.
Mom, I'm full.
I hear you, baby.
Go find Mr. Stick.
Noah says y'all are going
to be living here now?
Yeah, all three of us can.
It's our house.
Well, I think we
should at least talk
about what it would
look like to sell.
Property value's gone up now
that the factory's bought out.
This place could really
go for some money.
Enough to get us
both on our feet.
What the hell, Janelle?
Why do you want to
sell the house?
I didn't say that.
You literally just did.
Can I just have your phone?
Fine, it's your damn
house anyway.
I know.
How do you know that?
Does it matter?
I should have told you earlier.
You think?
I just thought if you believed
she left it to the both
of us then you might stay.
Why the hell would I stay here?
I have been sitting
here by myself,
going through all
this shit trying
to get this place
up on the market.
Is this why you were
coming back,
so she would leave it to you?
Even if it was, it didn't work.
Obviously.
I cannot believe you.
I really wanted you to stay.
You never think about
anybody other than yourself.
I don't need this.
Noah!
Now.
Because I say so.
Just do it.
Come on.
Where are you going?
Does it matter?
You deal with it.
Hey. Excuse me.
Hey, we're not taking
any more walk-ins.
Oh no, I'm looking for
someone you might know.
Cheyenne Barrow.
Nope, don't know that name.
You sure?
Seems like the kinda place
everybody knows somebody.
Look, man, I ain't got
time for small talk.
I'll let you know when we get
that alternator in
from Fayetteville.
Appreciate it.
See you.
Can I help you?
Nope, just asking
for directions.
Appreciate it.
Take care now.
Oink, Oink, here,
and an oink, oink there.
Here an oink, there an oink,
everywhere an oink, oink.
Old McDonald --
Wait here.
It's hot.
Okay, come here.
It won't be cold, but
it'll blow the air around.
Hey.
Can I talk to you?
I just need a minute.
Okay. Yeah, come on.
What's up?
I'm losing the house.
I thought you said you
and Chey owned it, 50/50.
Yeah. Well, we don't.
It's hers and she wants to sell.
Have you talked to a lawyer?
I can't afford that.
If she sells, we
got no place to go.
I should get him home.
Janelle.
Come here.
It's open.
Come on, Janelle.
Hey.
Mind if I come in?
Hey.
I missed you so much.
Chey, I missed you so much.
Chey.
Shh. It's okay.
Hey, I'm right here.
Look at me.
Oh, I've missed you.
Baby.
Come here.
What's wrong?
Please, don't make
me do this right now.
Why don't you want me
touching you, Chey?
I can't.
I treat you right, keep
a roof over our heads.
Is there somebody else?
Is there somebody else?
How can you ask that?
What am I supposed to think?
After you just get up
and run off like that?
That's right, just walk away.
I'm not walking away.
Why don't you want
me touching you?
You afraid I'll be able
to tell the difference?
Be careful, you're
dripping it everywhere.
Oh, hey.
I was wondering who's
truck that was.
I'm Alex.
I'm Janelle, this is Noah.
Noah.
What's up man?
Hey, I'm so sorry
about your mom.
Thanks. I just wish I was here
with Chey when it happened.
Yeah, I would have been here
sooner, but it's hard to get
up with Chey sometimes.
Make sure I figure out that
phone when we get back.
I have stuff for you to look at.
Papers. And you need a napkin.
Come on.
Yeah, go.
Sorry, this place
is such a mess.
It's been crazy trying to go
through all the Sandra's stuff.
We've barely been able
to leave the house.
Yeah, I bet.
Well, does anyone want a beer?
Is that you?
Yeah. When Dad was here.
He took that picture.
You two look a lot alike.
We used to get that.
I could write a damn book report
on Thomas the Tank
Engine at this point.
But at least it works.
Hey, can you grab me
another while you're up?
That was the last one.
Well, damn.
I can go on a run.
I can do it, it's okay.
Actually, that'd be
great, because I need to go
over this deed shit with
Chey before y'all leave.
Yeah.
Are you sure?
Yeah, I don't mind.
I'll be right back.
Just, you know, be good.
Okay, what is going on?
He's just always like
this around new people.
I thought y'all broke up.
Yeah, I know.
You're being weird.
I'm fine.
Well, did you tell
him you're pregnant?
What?
Did you tell him
you're pregnant?
Didn't you want to go
over that paperwork?
We'll
just take this.
Can I see your ID?
Yes, Ma'am.
And yours.
Why the fuck do you
need to see my ID?
It's fucking wine.
Y'all need to get out of here.
Are you serious?
Stupid.
Go on.
Come on, let's go.
Bitch.
Takes one to know one, hun.
Just the Hamm's.
It's going to be $8.50.
So?
I mean, it's all right here.
Seems like a sick joke,
she'd leave it to me.
Well, you still think
you're going to sell?
I know it's your
decision, legally.
I don't know, try
to think ahead.
Think about the baby.
I need the money.
We both do.
You really want to
live in this place?
What is this?
Lavender wallpaper.
I saw it in a magazine once.
We can clear all the shit
out from our old room.
Hey. I was scared shitless
when I found about Noah,
but it all worked out.
You said you want to
try something new?
I saw today that
the bank's hiring.
And I'll be here,
I'll be a good aunt.
You're not going to
be an aunt, Janelle.
Since when?
This morning.
Are you sure?
I could barely tell what it was.
It was so tiny.
But I knew.
She's gone.
It was a girl?
I thought so.
I was gonna name her
Imogene, after Grammie.
Cheyenne, I'm sorry.
Me too.
You know, Alex is the
reason I don't play anymore.
Why I can't pick up a guitar.
What?
Made him jealous, I guess.
Because you're good?
He just didn't like
the way other people,
other guys looked at me.
When I was up there, like it
threatened him or something.
That's bullshit, Chey.
Yeah. You know the
real shitty part?
I still love him.
In this weird messed up way.
It's like, I don't know, like
he's messed with my mind.
He's got this hold on me.
You don't deserve that.
I know, but I've hurt him too.
Everybody's hurt, and
everybody's been hurt.
We're humans, it's what we do.
Take it easy girl, take it easy.
Get out.
Get out.
Get out!
Thanks for the drink, asshole.
Are you OK?
Yeah, I'm fine.
Are you sure?
Yeah, I'm sure.
I tried, Janelle.
I'm just so tired.
You're one of the
strongest people I know.
The whole reason I was able to
leave town was because of you,
because I wanted to
be just like you.
Don't confuse running
with being free.
Does he?
Ask and ye shall
receive, or some shit.
What'd I miss?
Nothing.
That don't look like nothing.
We were just talking about Mama.
Oh, yeah, Mama.
Mama. Mama, Mama, Mama.
Where's the ice?
The thing's broken.
Two and a half hours
on my day off,
no ice for the whiskey, sis?
We just thought you
were getting beer.
Oh, well you thought wrong.
Didn't you?
I'm just fucking with you, man.
Let's play some cards or
something, it's early yet.
I'm pretty tired.
I think I'm going to hit it.
Take a beer if you want.
Waste of money.
I think there's some cards
around here somewhere.
I don't want to play cards.
Were you even going
to come back?
I'm sorry.
Are you?
I wouldn't say it
if I didn't mean it.
Yeah, you would.
Are you pregnant?
No.
Why can't you just admit it?
I'm not pregnant.
How can you say you love me and
lie to my face like that, Chey?
I don't get it.
I didn't say I love you.
Well, fuck me.
Look, I was pregnant,
but I'm not anymore.
That doesn't even make sense.
What the fuck?
Where are you going?
I feel fucking crazy.
Alex!
Alex!
Alex, stop!
Hey, get off, get off me.
You're drunk.
Hey. Hey, hey, what
are you doing?
No.
Just give me the fucking keys.
Alex.
Enough. Enough!
Ahh.
Hey, what the hell is going on?
Alex.
What happened?
Oh god.
Are you okay?
Oh my god.
Did he hit you?
It was an accident.
Let him walk it off.
Cheyenne.
Hey. Hey, come here.
It's okay.
Come here.
It's all right.
I'm sorry.
Are you all right?
Why is there everyone mad?
We're not mad.
We're not mad, okay?
Okay.
Alex was upset, but
he's gone now.
Why does he do that?
Because he's a very
angry person.
Will he get better soon?
No, he won't.
But he's not going to
hurt you or anybody, okay?
Okay.
He'll be gone in the morning.
Hey. Come on, get up.
Come on.
Where's Noah?
He's out back.
Thanks.
What about the truck?
I think it's fine.
He's got it.
Chey. Chey.
You coming home today?
There's still a lot
to do for the house.
You want some eggs?
No. No, no, thank you.
Hey, do you mind watching this?
I'm going to go check on Noah.
You can say it.
I don't have anything to say.
Are you sure you're not hungry?
Stop asking me that.
What is it?
Do you want to talk
about last night?
You do, apparently.
So spit it out.
I was pregnant, but I
lost it yesterday morning.
Okay.
That's it?
You don't have anything to say?
What do you want
me to say, Chey?
Huh?
Alex, I lost our child.
Does that mean anything to you?
Of course it means something.
I don't get credit unless
I react the way you think
I should?
I'm not coming home with you.
Okay.
Okay.
God damn it.
Cheyenne.
Cheyenne.
Come with me.
I won't ask you again.
You better be gone before
Noah gets back in here.
Okay, baby.
You just remember, this
is what you wanted.
I can do something
cooler than that.
You ready?
Is he gone?
I'm proud of you.
I just want to get in the car
and drive till I can't
recognize anything anymore.
I can look into getting
the house up for sale.
You don't have to do that.
Well, it's not mine.
I don't want it.
You need it.
You and Noah.
Are you serious?
Thank you.
I love you.
Noah really wants to go
down on the creek tonight.
Can you stay?
In the night when
the wind comes howling.
Just one more night?
Over the mountains
and the forest in my mind.
In the shadow places
I try to hide.
I catch myself longing
for a feeling.
Now bring it over to here.
The places
I've never known.
I tip my hat to the sun, honey
I got time to figure it out.
It looks like --
I'm a river
running to the sea.
Let me wonder where I belong.
Give me back to the
wild that knows me.
Drink the rain that
washes me clean.
I take the road less known.
I tip my hat to the sun.
Honey, I got time
to figure it out.
I'm a river running to the sea.
I'm a river running.
How do you dream
in a world on fire?
I'm not asking for myself,
I'm asking for my child.
I want her to know
what it feels
like to be free, to be wild.
How do you dream
in a world on fire?
When I was young I got
to be lost and lonely.
Got to leave the town
where everyone had known me.
I got to follow that winding
road just to see where it goes.
How do you dream
in a world on fire?
When I was young, I got
to be lost and lonely.
Got to leave the town
where everyone had known me.
I got to follow that winding
road just to see where it goes.
I got to sing the
sweet, sad song of youth.
I got to follow my
dreams, my truth.

Oh, how I wander how you do.
