We gotta get you over to Musicor, Tam.
Get you singing

Seize this moment of love.
Pappy, you know
she's with Billy Sherrill.
- Come on, now.
- I thought she was with you.
You won't be thinking
about making a move
to another label,
'cause the Emancipation Proclamation
made no provision for hillbilly singers.
- [CHUCKLES]

- Mm-hmm. I love him.
- [BOTH] Yeah.
He's a boxer.
Once upon a time,
he was the best at what he did.
Went from fighting Cassius Clay

A sideshow.
Cut up in so many pieces,
the man hisself's just
[SIGHS] He just he just gone.
Hey.
- It's just a movie, baby.
- It's a true story.
- They're gonna take it from us.
- Take what, George?
- Our fire.
- No.
[INHALES DEEPLY]
[GRUNTS]
[SIGHS]
George, this love
I have for you is so big.
It scares me.
I can leave right now if you want me to.
I'll just say
we were being silly, and
we'll take it all back.
But any later than right now
it's gonna be forever.
I love you.

It's eternity whenever ♪

[STRIDENT NOTE]
- What?
- It's working too hard.
- Hmm?
- [TAMMY] It's a love song.
You're putting conditions on it,
and there shouldn't be any.
I met you two years ago.
In that time, you've charted six times,
won a CMA, and married George Jones.
- That's right.
- You know,
those things don't just happen
to skinny girls from Alabama
who happen to have a catch
in their throat.
All right, Billy. Sorry.
[BILLY] If I told you
your next single was gonna be
- "Three Blind Mice," you say, "What key?"
- Yes, sir.
[KNOCK AT DOOR]
- What?
- [PAUL] Good, you're both here.
Is George around?
You two are not legally married.
Tennessee doesn't recognize
Mexican divorces.
Liar. Brother Paul here's a lawyer.
He wouldn't lie to you.
- Oh, yeah? Well, who are you?
- [SIGHS] Name's George Richey.
But everybody calls me Richey.
And I've been your musical director
- over at "Hee Haw" 11 times.
- All right.
So I'm still married to Don?
[GEORGE] No, honey, I'm
I'm your husband now.
- The marriage isn't valid.
- I'll fix it.
No, baby, it's not valid.
You need a legal-minded brain
on this, Jones.
- Fixing stuff is my specialty.
- [GEORGE] Oh, yeah?
Well, I got a brain, okay?
- I got a real good brain.
- I know you do.
But let's let Billy handle this.
Jones, this is the kind of care
Epic shows for our talent.
When you're in our family,
we look out for you.
Yeah, I see what you're doing.
Your love story's got
this whole town hooked.
Everybody's talking:
DJs, fans, newspapers,
every single promoter.
I mean, hell, that song
you recorded at Don's
is at number two. By my
count, that's the first time
you've charted in going on five years.
We gotta get the two of you in a booth,
lay down some duets.
Do you have the slightest idea
what it's gonna cost me
to get out of that contract?
Say nothing of loyalty.
Loyalty's a rare thing these days.
She left her husband for you, Jones.
The least you could do
is leave your pappy for her.

But something didn't seem ♪
Quite right today ♪
- When Tammy first got to Nashville
- [TAMMY] So I went outside
she knocked on
every producer's door in town.
[TAMMY] What they were doing
Holes in her sweater
and three little girls
in a rusty station wagon.
- Hmm.
- Planted herself
outside my door till I came out.
I wasn't much in the mood
to hear another girl sing,
- let alone one named Virginia Pugh.
- Mm.
I guess I was kind of curt,
'cause she started to cry.
Said I was her last chance.
And she told me the producer before me
wouldn't even agree to hear her
till she slept with him.
- Hmm.
- She wouldn't do it.
- [TAMMY] It can't be fun ♪
- That man made her feel worthless, Jones.
Mm.
Yeah, I know what the men
in Nashville get up to.
I been a culprit myself a time or ten.
The way it's done ♪
[GEORGE] But I'm gonna protect her.
I'ma build her a new life,
and no one's gonna touch her.
- She's my queen.
- [BILLY] Yeah. That's admirable.
Mm, I appreciate it.
Nashville ain't a safe place
to be a woman.
Way figure it.
Not too hospitable
for the male sex neither.
[CHUCKLES]
I want you to think long and hard
about how Pappy has treated you,
how he's propped you up
like a drunk fool
and taken your money.
You gotta ask yourself,
are either of you really safe there?
[TAMMY] And if that's the
way it's done ♪
I don't want to play house ♪
It makes my mommy cry ♪
'Cause when she played house ♪
My daddy said goodbye ♪
- Hmm?
- You hear that?
What?
Nothing. Just silence.
Isn't that beautiful?
Mm.
[SLOW COUNTRY MUSIC]
- [GUITAR STRUMMING]
- All right.
What else can we do?
All right. [CLEARS THROAT]
You gonna count it, huh?

He buy that for you?
[GEORGE] Even a fool can see ♪
That you'll soon be leaving me ♪
[TAMMY] What do you want?
I got a new song
I want to pitch to George.
- Ugh.
- All about a cheatin' wife
who passed around
nudie pictures of herself.
You think something
like that'd be a hit?
No.
Don, I gave you a house,
this godforsaken car.
I gave you everything
that was sitting in the bank account.
- I got nothing left to give you.
- You got you.
Donna and I tried to play
some of our bookings,
but nobody wants our act without you.
No I can't.
[DON] George sees those
pictures, he'll leave you.
Then if the world sees,
I can't even imagine what that would do
to your career.
The state might even declare you
an unfit parent again.
[GEORGE] But each ♪
You've had your shortcomings, but
I've never known you to be a
bad man.
And I never knew you
to be a lying whore.
But fair is fair.
You can keep those, by the way.
Those is just copies.
Now get out of my car.
You've got a little scar back here.
- I never noticed it before.
- Mm.
There's stuff about me, if you knew,
- you'd stop loving me.
- Never.
- Mm-hmm.
- Mm-mm.
[SIGHS] Let's get away from here.
Make a fresh start and go someplace
where I can be Glenn
and you can be Virginia.
[SIGHS] Yeah.
Except we're George and Tammy now.
Mm.
This is how you want it?
Yeah.
It's a much better deal
for me than it is for you.
I don't see
why that would hurt your heart.
[CHUCKLES]
- You're making a mistake.
- I'll see you around.
- See you around.
- [SHEILA] Don't tell George nothing.
- [TAMMY] Mm-mm.
- He'll kill Don.
Then you'll be not married to a jailbird
and not divorced from a dead guy.
Yeah, and I'll be alone.
[SHEILA] Well, what are we
talking about here, honey?
A couple of nudies?
Even I have those.
- But you're not Tammy Wynette.
- [UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING OVER RADIO]
- [GROANS] I'm sorry.
- No, sugar, it's all right.
Well, I wanted to go back
for them, but
you know, George told me
just to forget everything.
I can have Richey
talk to his brother, Paul.
- Oh, yeah?
- You didn't hear it from me,
but he can be real intimidating.
- It's a comfort.
- Shh, shh.
- What's going on in here?
- Hey, baby.

Honey, I'm worried about Don.
He's holding up the divorce.
Well, let the lawyer handle it.
- Right?
- Yeah, but he's angry,
and I'm afraid of what
he might do. [SIGHS]
I was thinking that if we recorded
a few of his songs for our album,
then maybe he'd let go
of some of his bitterness.
No.
Here, you come with me.
We give him a couple of hits,
that's real money in his pocket.
- Yeah.
- Imagine the publicity.
George and Tammy singin' a love song
written by Tammy's ex.
I mean, could it be any more country?
- He's a man of no consequence, babe.
- [INSECTS BUZZING]
- All right.
- What?
- Wait for it.
- [CHUCKLES]
- Come on.
- What?

Slow down, babe. [GIGGLING] Oh, George.
- There she is.
- [LAUGHS]
Welcome home, sugar.
No.
- You bought this?
- Yeah.
Yeah, a fresh start.
Well, you did this
without talking to me?
That town's gonna kill us.
We need somewhere to get away.
I I just wanted to surprise you.
Only reason you wanted to surprise me
is 'cause you didn't want to know
what I'd have to say about it.
You gotta love this. You got to.
Baby, I got lots of have-tos.
Moving to a rundown heap
in the middle of nowhere
- isn't one of them.
- Hey!
I can make this as nice
as any mansion in Belle Meade for you.
[TAMMY] I finally got
where I want to be.
I'm not moving.
We'll talk about this at home.
We are home.
- Honey, this place is all I got left.
- [DRAMATIC MUSIC]
What?
I I gave up the other
house. I gave it to Pappy
so I could come over to Epic
and sing with you.
The house,
what's left of my publishing
I gave up everything.
Hell, I gave up Pappy, too,
to be with you.
I'm sorry, baby.

Do you accept the charges?
Yeah, yeah. Wynette, where are you?
I've been trying to reach you all day.
We're in West Concord, I think.
- [BILLY] Hey, you all right?
- [EXHALES SHAKILY] Yeah.
Well, listen,
I got some good news for you.
Paul Richey came by.
It turns out you didn't wait long enough
after your divorce from Euple
was final to marry Don.
You were supposed to wait a year.
You only waited ten months, you minx.
You were never married to Don Chapel.
Looks like God is blessing
your Mexican marriage,
- Mrs. Jones.

[GEORGE] Where you been?
Ah, shit. [GROANS]
Slept on my damn hand funny. [SNIFFS]
Think I might have broke it.
You playing dumb, or you
just really don't recall?
- [GRUNTS]
- Last night, I saw the devil.
- That what you did?
- Yeah.
All right. You know, you didn't
have to come back.
[GRUNTS]
It made me too sad
thinking about you in here hurtin'.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I love you. It won't happen again.
You know, the last time
I tried to leave a man
my mama took my kids.
She put me in a hospital,
and they shocked me so bad, I
forgot my own name.
I was four months pregnant with Tina,
so she came early 'cause of it
and almost died.
But what got me out was you.
I followed your voice
from my mama's record player
to the radio in my car.
I followed your voice
all the way to Nashville.
George Jones saved me.
[CHUCKLES]
Well, do you love George Jones or Glenn?
I'm just a man.
I see that.
But if you stay with me,
I'll I'll quit drinking.
I will.
Your love can do that.
What you thinkin' of, hmm?
Tell me.
