"Is he still out in Los Angeles?" "Uh-huh." "Too busy to come to his one and only grandmother's funeral." "My grandmother died yesterday... and I do not want to go back down to the funeral." "Maybe that's why I'm here." "I just can't be who I am down there." "At least here I can choose to be in the places where I can be who I am." "Down there I'll have to butch it up."

"And Leticia Bustamante, that sweet, little Mexican girl that stocks the shelves... told me that Tom Ed had to reinforce that stool with lug nuts." "I swear!" "Oh, Vera's so sweet though." "She used to always slip me a few extra Green Stamps." "And she never bothers to look at the expiration date on my coupons." "She's my best friend." "But why on God's green Earth would anyone let themselves get that big?" "Well, she says it's glandular." "[ Laughs ]" "Glandular." "Oh!"

" No." "Whatever it was, it had nothing whatsoever to do with the subject matter." "And I invited my parents..." "Latrelle and Wilson." "Oh, God." "What was I thinking?" "Anyhow, the play was going along all nice-like." "And, all of a sudden, my son... walks out on the stage... naked." " Buck naked, Sissy." " Oh, sweetJesus." "Naked?" "And you could see everything."

"And this other girl that I never heard of in my life did the role of Annie Oakley... who they said had once had a part in The Bold and the Beautiful... but I certainly didn't remember her."

"Listen, Dr. Eve... how long is this gonna take?" " It's a regular session, about 45 minutes." " No, no, no." "This whole dehomosexualization thing." "Because it just seems to be going at a very slow pace." "Well, Earl,you really haven't been participating in your own recovery." " I don't have a magic wand." " I do." "In a drawer back in my room somewhere." "I got it when I was little." " I used to pretend that I was Glinda the Good Witch." " Earl!" " What?" " Could we please just stay with our session this time?" "So sorry." "But, you know, Dr. Eve..." "I resent" " I resent you saying that I am not participating in my own recovery." "I walked right down that hall without my hair on." "Came in here looking like something the cat drug in." "Yes, I know." "And that's good, but, Earl... in three months, 68 sessions, this is your very first effort." "Well, I don't like to rush into things." "And in my own defense, you did say I have a severe case of homosexuality." "It's one of the worst I've ever seen." "And with the transvestism-- well, it's very, very complicated." "Well, I am well aware of that, Dr. Eve." "Now... did you try my masturbation exercises?" " Yes I did." " How did that go?" "Well, I" "I did exactly what you asked me to do." "I started masturbatin' by fantasizing about a man." " I thought about Wardell from back home." " Of course you did." "Then I switched to a woman." "Good." "Good." "Well, at first I-- I couldn't decide who to use." "I thought about using Tammy Wynette, but, oh, that did not seem right." "I mean, you know, with her gone, it just-- it's evil and wrong." "Well, Earl, fantasies are very healthy." "Well, not with dead people." "But there doesn't have to be anything evil or wrong about sex." "Well, that's not what my mama told me, missy." "I miss my mama." "Um" "I haven't seen Mama in six months... and four whole days." "My sister LaVonda's been coming out here to see me." "I know." "We've had several conversations, and we need to talk about your mama, but not..." " till the end of the session." " My sister LaVonda's wanting to get me out of here." " I know that, but you're not ready yet." " When will I be ready?" "I've been here for 23 years." "Brother Boy thought he was Tammy Wynette the last time I seen him." " About a year ago." " Before that it was Loretta." "Didn't he used to do Kitty Wells too, way back when?" "Oh, my God." "I had forgotten about that." """It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels."" " [ Laughs ] That is a good song." " Mm-hmm." "You know, somebody ought to redo that." "I believe that Trisha Yearwood could just sing the shit out of that song." " You eat with that mouth too?" " Mostly." "Loretta was always my favorite though." "I swear, in that getup and that big, ol' white gown..." "Brother Boy was her spitting' image." "You know, Sissy Spacek could not hold a candle to Brother Boy's Loretta." "Mm-mmm." "No." "She could not." "When he'd pretend to sing along to those records, you almost forgot." "Lord, he could tear up ""You Ain't Woman Enough (To Take My Man)."" " Woo-hoo." " I gotta tell you... about the only thing that has kept me sane... has been my career." "My country queens." "Kitty and Loretta." "Then Tammy came along." "Lord, I felt like I had found my soul mate." "I followed her rise all the way to the top." "She had such a rough life." "Oh." "Illness after illness and financial woes." "And George Jones was a drunk." "Mm." "Tortured genius." " Earl." " Then they exhumed her." " Earl.!" " What ever happened to ""rest in peace"?" "Just dug her up." "Earl, please!" " You always do this." " Oh." "You get extremely sidetracked in our sessions, and I truly believe... it's so you won't have to face the truth." "You are living your life vicariously through Tammy Wynette..." " and that is just not healthy." " Well, somebody has got to carry on the legacy." "Now that-- Now that she's gone." "Earl, you've been doing this for over 20 years." "What was your excuse before she died?" "My mind's a blank." "Well, it has to stop." "It's just not healthy." "It gets me through this hell." "All right?" "Locked up here with a bunch of Looney Tunes like I'm crazy?" "Tammy Wynette gets me through life, Dr. Eve." "And now you're trying to take her precious, precious, precious memory away from me." "I just-- [ Sobbing ]" "I don't think I can take it." " [ Sobbing ] - [ LaVonda And Sissy Laughing ]" "Oh, you remember that year that Brother Boy was in the Christmas pageant?" "Oh, Lord, yes." "He couldn't have been more than five or six." "And he talked Wanda Jean Hilltop into switching parts with him." "And Wanda Jean showed up as a shepherd, and Brother Boy prissed in as the Virgin Mary." "[ Both Laughing ]" "Oh, well, honey... you know that Wanda Jean lives with a woman over in Abilene... and she delivers for the UPS." "Oh, it all tracks back." " Who cares?" " Me and Sissy." " Why?" " 'Cause he's my baby brother, Latrelle." " And I want to get him out." " Out?" "Let's go back to the masturbation exercises, shall we?" "Okay." "Now, when you switched to a woman, who did you fantasize about?" "You." "[ Wheezing Laugh ]" "I masturbated... and I fantasized about you." "Oh." "Well." "Well, well, well." "My." "Thank you." "Well, actually, it didn't turn out so good." "When I switched over to you, I got kind of nauseous... and, uh, I don't mean to be ugly, but-- [ Whistles ]" "[ Chuckles ] It sort of went south, if you know what I mean." "I'm sorry." "Oh, that's okay." "Don't worry about it." " So, did you try again?" " No." "I threw up." "Then I wasn't in the mood no more." "You know, Dr. Eve, I think next time I'm gonna masturbate... and I'm gonna fantasize about a woman that's a little bit more masculine." "Um, oh!" "How about, uh-- What's her name?" "Oh, Miss Jane Hathaway from The Beverly Hillbillies." "She's kind of manly." "Earl, that is not the point.!" "Well, I'm sorry." "I'm not quite sure what the point is." "The point is for you to start fantasizing about a woman." "A real woman." "A woman who is feminine and sexy and all woman." "Not some butch stick of a woman like Miss Jane Hathaway... who could be a man in drag, for all we know." "Well, I don't know about that." "I don't think a man in drag would go out looking that bad." "I mean, even when Jethro portrayed Jethrine." " [ Screams ]" " Oh." "I don't know what to do with you anymore, Earl." "I'm at my rope's end." "I try and I try to make progress-- and nothing!" "You are not participating in your own recovery!" " I called the institution this morning." " You what?" " You called 'em?" " Called 'em." "He needs to know about Mama." "They said that now that Mama was dead that you and me are responsible." "If we sign the proper papers, we can get him out." "He can live with me." "I just think that he ought to be here for his own mama's funeral." "I think LaVonda might be right." "Well, I don't." "We can't have Brother Boy at the funeral." "He'll be a spectacle." "Mama's death is enough of an embarrassment without having Brother Boy at the funeral." " In case you're forgetting, he's crazy." " Brother Boy is not crazy." "There's something wrong with him up here, and you know it." "I'm not sure what's wrong with him is up there." "The only thing wrong with him, if it's wrong... is that he likes to dress up like a woman." " That's wrong." " According to who, Latrelle?" "According to the Bible." "According to God." " Off and runnin'." " You mean to tell me that there is a scripture that says..." " men shalt not dress up in women's clothes?" " Y'all!" " Maybe you're the crazy one, Latrelle." " LaVonda!" "I'm not the one who wants to bury a woman in a mink stole in the middle of a heat wave." " Mama loved that stole, Latrelle." " Yes." "And she had the good fashion sense... not to wear it in the summertime." "[ Latrelle ] Sissy.!" "Sissy.!" "Say something!" "I thought you were on my side!" "I am not on anybody's side!" "I don't care, quite frankly!" "I am trying to quit smokin'!" "[ Breathing Heavily ]" "And the two of you are gettin' on my nerves!" "[ Breathing Heavily ]" "And my arm hurts." "It don't matter if Sister wears that mink stole or not... because she is dead." "And she's gonna be buried shortly... and everybody will just forget about it in no time flat anyway." "It don't matter!" "So just hush up!" "Both of ya!" "[ Breathing Heavily ]" " You wanna know why she don't want Mama buried in that stole?" " No!" "I don't want to know!" "'Cause she wants it for herself." "Why would I, of all people, want that mangy, old mink stole?" "It's an antique and it's valuable." "And that stole is in real good shape." " [ Scoffs ] Please." " Don't try to deny it, Latrelle." "Although, that is your specialty, if I'm not mistaken:" "Denial." "What are you talking about?" "Denial." "Denial about what?" "Denial about everything." "About how Mama died." "And about why you want to keep Brother Boy cooped up like some damn animal." " And why is that, pray tell?" " Never mind." "No, I want to hear this." "[ LaVonda ] Look, all I am saying is that" " You know how close me and Ty are" " Don't you dare... bring my son into this sordid picture." "What does my son have to do with this?" "All I'm saying is that Ty has more in common with Brother Boy..." " than you're willing to admit." " Oh, Lord." "I think you blame Brother Boy for the way Ty is." "Ty isn't anything." "So you just shut your mouth about my son." "I went out to L.A. to see a play he was in." " You did what?" " I went out to L.A." "To see Staccato." "Opening night." "And he was real good." "Sissy, the play was spectacular." "It was very... sensuous... with a powerful message." "And I went out afterwards with Ty and the all-male cast, and we went to an all-male bar." "That's when he told me." "My son is not a homosexual!" "So shut up." " I don't wanna hear this." " You're in denial, Latrelle." "I am not in denial." "Would you quit saying I'm in denial?" " I am not in denial." " All right." "I'll quit saying it!" " But it ain't gonna change the truth." " I don't wanna hear the truth!" "Did you ever think I don't wanna know the truth?"
