sat me down right there in Sears
and told me no one else had to know.

:04:04
Just me and her.
:04:07
It was our little secret.
:04:09
So, she bought the Husky jeans.
She took 'em home.

:04:13
And then she went to the Goodwill,
and she bought some used jeans.

:04:17
Well, she took the label
off the Husky jeans
and sewed on the ""Slim'' label...

:04:23
from the Goodwill ones.
:04:26
Slim. Shit.
:04:30
Like I could pull that off.
:04:37
It's just the kind of mama
she was though.

:04:41
Never made me feel bad
about being fat. She--

:04:46
She always just made it okay.
:04:51
And I've always thought that
that is unconditional love, and--

:04:56
Well, maybe if I told her
I was gay, it'd--

:05:00
you know, it'd apply.
:05:04
And this other thought
just keeps running through my head:

:05:07
She'd just try and change the labels...
:05:09
from gay to straight.
:05:17
I tried to do that for years.
:05:19
I love your new song. You gonna
sing it at the dance on Saturday?

:05:22
That's the plan.
:05:25
- See you boys in the funny papers.
- All right.

:05:28
I just can't get Peggy
off of my mind, Wardell.

:05:31
- That's some serious-ass shit
you've been through, G.W.
- I'm in agony.

:05:35
- Yeah, I can tell.
- I remember it so vividly.

:05:38
We met at the Bonanza over in Abilene,
had us a nice steak supper.

:05:42
She followed me back to the motel.
:05:44
Jacob's ladder.
:05:47
Witch's hat.
:05:51
You do Jacob's ladder, then witch's hat.
Two tricks in one.

:05:54
Well, one trick,
and then you do another by just
pulling the string with your teeth.
