1. Winchester town · · Virginia high school night
in early summer after the spring chill, pleasant climate, it is holding a party and concert pole Wonderful time.
Virginia Middle School in Winchester Township is holding a weekend concert today. The parking lot outside the school is full of cars from the fifties. People finished their day's work and brought their family and friends to the party.
Suddenly, a white light shot in the distance, and a black sports car rushed over bumpingly and got into the gap of the parking lot. A sudden braking, the woman in the car screamed: "Charlie, don't do this!" followed by a series of giggles and cheers of men.
After the car stopped, a man in a black dress emerged from the driver's seat. He opened the door and pulled a woman out of the car. The two walked into the school gate laughing and making a fuss. The man's name was Charlie Dick. His tall figure and handsome face were striking. Although he was nearly thirty, his whole body was full of energy, and he still looked like a young man. The girl's name was Wanda Kimble, and she was also very beautiful. She was already slightly drunk, and staggered to the venue.
2. School hall · Night The
spacious school hall is decorated with flowers. The entertainment activities inside are diverse, dance parties, performances, singing, the atmosphere is lively and very lively. Some of the guests danced to the music; some enjoyed the music with relish; some gathered around the bar to enjoy fine wines and beverages. It's a party for the students to raise money for the school.
Charlie also squeezed into the dance hall with Wanda, and danced tango with everyone. He danced well and caught the attention of the girls. Just after the song, the orchestra pit played the country music "I'm Coming to You". The dance partners danced again to the beat. After a while, I saw a female singer walking onto the stage with relaxed and natural steps. She was wearing a bright long dress and a small straw hat slanted behind her back playfully. Her appearance immediately caused the musicians in the orchestra to temporarily stop playing. The dance partners stopped and looked at the stage. When they saw Patsy Klein appearing, they applauded in unison. Pazzi raised his hand and blew kisses to everyone, attracting warm applause from the audience.
She smiled and said to everyone, "Listen to me, I'm going to sing a song tonight to make everyone happy. I can sing any song I want, but I said to myself, 'God, Patsy, these Everyone comes here after bathing and wearing costumes. If you want to sing, you have to sing a good song, or you can stay at home and don’t come out.’ Therefore, the song I sing today is not a new song, but a very good song. Nice songs, I specially selected them for you."
After speaking, she turned her head to signal to the musicians, and the prelude to "I'm Coming to You" sounded. The dancers were dancing again. Pazzi's vocals are loud and expressive.
She sang:
"One day, darling, when you are unfortunate,
you will need your mother, but your mother will say,
I am going , I will leave you soon,
you used to laugh at me,
but now I give you Freedom.
I'm leaving..." After
singing, Pazzi waved to the enthusiastic applause and said, "I specially chose this song to sing for you." Then, he slowly retreated to the backstage.
Charlie was fascinated by her singing voice and demeanor, and stood in front of the stage staring at her blankly. Pazzi had already entered the backstage, and he was still muttering to himself: "Who is Pazzi? What's her surname?"
Wanda, who was standing beside him, was unhappy, shrugged his shoulders, and said nothing.
Charlie: "No, really, what's her last name?"
Wanda said angrily, "I don't know."
Charlie turned and asked a middle-aged man next to him. The man said into his ear, "Klein!"
Charlie : "Klein? Patsy Klein?"
The man nodded and walked away.
Charlie thought about it and asked a man with a glass of wine: "Where is she from?"
The man with a glass of wine said: "It's here, from Winchester."
Charlie: "God, I've never seen it before. She. You said she came here every Saturday to sing, didn't you?"
The man nodded, and was about to leave when Charlie grabbed his arm and said, "Wait a minute, you said she's married?"
The man with the glass said, "God, Charlie, I told you so. Her name is Patsy Klein, she's married, she went to high school here... People always say, nothing scares Patsy. She sang on TV, made a record, that's all I know. "
The man finished speaking, broke free from Charlie's grasp and walked away. Before he had gone far, he turned around and made a face at Charlie and said, "She's married, Charlie, don't ask!"
Charlie turned his head and pretended not to hear, and suddenly, he saw Patsy in the crowd. I saw her undressing and wearing home-made clothes. The dress was brightly colored and tailored to make Pazzi look all the more slender and beautiful.
Charlie followed Patsy, and seeing that there were fewer people around, he leaned forward.
Charlie: "I hope you put on my coat and let me drive you to drink a cup I think we both can jump for a while, and then we will get to know each other a little more.."
When Patsy sing on stage already found Charlie's Note that it was even more interesting to see him come forward at this time.
Patsy: "You think a lot, don't you?"
Charlie: "Yes, dear."
Patsy: "Okay, people in hell want ice water...but that doesn't mean they can Got it."
With that, Patsy slipped under one of his arms that was holding her back, and a schoolgirl heard her and looked at Charlie, laughing loudly. Charlie stood there awkwardly, blushing.
3. On the school plaza,
after ditching Charlie at night, Pazzi put on his overcoat and hurried to the car driven by his mother.
Patchy: "Come on, Mom, let's go home!"
Patchy's mother, Hilda Hensley, was only sixteen years older than her daughter and looked very young. The mother and daughter are very close and get together whenever they have time. Hilda is also a capable mother, and the clothes are well done, and she sews the clothes on her daughter and even the clothes she sings on stage.
4. Inside the car
Patsy giggled as he got into the car. Hilda gazed in amazement at her and asked: "? Patsy, how do you do that,"
Patsy laughed out of breath. After a while, she stopped laughing and said, "I looked at him face to face and said, 'The people in hell want ice water...kid.' Betty Simon happened to be standing by and heard it."
Hilda: "He Who is it?"
Pazzi: "I don't know, I just know it's a hot-headed clown."
Hilda couldn't help laughing when she heard this, she was driving the car with one hand and pulling hard with the other. Pazzi.
Patsy: "Gosh, sometimes I get really tired of men. Always scratching here, sniffing there. How did they treat you when you were my age?"
Hilda: "Oh, I don't know. "
Patsy head on her mother's shoulder, like a baby, said:" well, you tell me. "
Hilda:." well, I talk about it in high school I was in great shape to see - of course later The waist is getting thicker. There was a boy named Teddy Shulkhoff at that time, with a pair of gray eyes, and his eyelashes were coal black. That was before I met your father..."
Pazzi heard When he arrived at his father, he interrupted his mother's words and said bitterly: "May his broken spine rot in hell..."
Hilda rebuked weakly: "Don't talk about your father like that." After a pause Yes, she continued: "Every noon we go to the cloakroom to get our lunch box. Every time, this Teddy Shulkhoff would deliberately touch me with his butt when I was bending over to get my lunch box."
Pazzi covered his mouth and laughed again, occasionally making "oh, oh" sounds.
Hilda smiled and continued: "Wait, there's more. One day, it was very hot and sweaty, and everyone was very upset. The teacher told us to go get the lunch boxes, and suddenly found that there were eggs everywhere in the cloakroom. Salad sandwiches. After putting those things down, the kid weirdly left school and didn't come back for a week."
Pazzi bent over with a smile, slapped the car's tailgate constantly, and didn't stop laughing until the car reached Pazzi's door.
Hilda stopped the car. While packing up, Pazzi asked her mother, "Come in and sit for a while?"
Hilda hesitated and asked, "Is Gerald still asleep?"
Pazzi: "Probably."
Hilda looked He looked at the lights in the room and said, "Oh dear, I'd better go home."
Patsy: "And the chicken."
Hilda: "Save me for Saturday dinner."
Patsy kissed his mother. Hilda drilled into the car, stepped on the accelerator, and the car flew away. Pazzi watched her mother go away, and then slowly walked towards the door of the house.
This is an ordinary house, and it can be seen that the owner belongs to the lower middle class. Patsy approached the door, and for some reason, his mood became heavy in vain, as if all his energy was suddenly exhausted.
5. Inside the house, Night
Pazzi walked into the house and saw her husband, Gerald Klein, watching the evening TV news alone. He was a normal-looking man, older than Pazzi, with light brown hair, light brown eyes, and light brown skin. The furnishings of the home are as ordinary as the house itself. Seeing Patsy come in, he turned down the sound of the TV a little.
Gerald: "how did you?"
Patsy: "Today made only twenty-five dollars, but I think I did a good job."
Gerald: "That's good."
Patsy husband Sitting down beside him, Gerald was only on the TV.
Pazzi: "Tonight, I decided to sing the song "I'm Coming to You."
Gerald: "Well..."
Pazzi: "Is there any good TV tonight?"
Gerald : "Hmm."
Seeing that her husband didn't care about him, Pazzi felt aggrieved, so he said angrily, "I just came back tonight, don't you want to talk to me?"
Gerald just returned He turned his head and said, "I'm sorry, dear. How did you do tonight?"
Pazzi: "You've already asked that."
For a while, the two felt speechless.
Pazzi: "Ask something else. Let's just sit and talk."
Gerald didn't speak, but was silent again.
Pazzi couldn't help it: "Come on, ask something."
Gerald: "Pazzi, why are you forcing me like this?"
Pazzi: "I don't know."
She paused, then said: "I want to play one game or cry, or else I'm just looking forward to a little something.."
Gerald: "I do not want to fight with you I can not go crazy.."
Patsy thought, they She kissed her husband gently, whispered in his ear, "I'm sorry, honey." Then turned off the TV and left the room.
6. Bedroom ·
Yepazi walked into the bedroom, took off her earrings, and combed her hair. She looked at herself in the mirror and suddenly felt her own beauty and her own charm. With a round neck, a raised chest, a slender waist, and long legs, she couldn't help being attracted to herself, and thought of a lyric in her mind: "I'm crazy for you, dear. I will always love you."
7. Living Room · Ye
Jie Lard is still watching TV. Pazzi suddenly appeared at the door.
Pazzi: "Gerald, if I were to say, 'I'm crazy for you, I'll always love you.' What do you think?"
After that, Pazzi just felt his face warm and his blood was boiling. When Gerald heard this, his eyes widened in shock, his ears were red, he was overwhelmed, and fidgeted there. He looked away from his wife's expectant gaze, and murmured, "Oh, Patsy, don't do that."
Patsy's eyes lost their luster. She nodded with a wry smile and said, "I just wanted to try what you would say."
8. Bedroom Night
Pazzi lay in bed tossing and turning. After a while, Gerald also got into bed. He kissed his wife as usual, then lay down beside her, stretched comfortably, and said, "This old bed is very nice, and if I have any desire, I wish I could sleep until Tomorrow at noon. What about you, what do you wish for?"
Patsy ignored him. In less than a minute, Gerald's breathing became heavy. Pazzi listened to the snoring, put his arms behind his head, and stared at the ceiling, feeling very lonely in his heart, and said to himself, "I wish I could fight, or laugh, or something else."
9. The
next morning at the gate . Pazzi sent her husband away, and was alone. She felt that this life was too dull and too lackluster, she could no longer bear it, and she was determined to change the situation. Thinking of this, she rushed into the bedroom without hesitation, took a suitcase, stuffed all her clothes into it, and left the house without looking back.
10. HILDA'S BACK YARD
Hilda sat in an old-fashioned chair peeling beans and listened silently to Pazzina's angry remarks. With a cigarette in her hand, Patsy walked excitedly and said, "I can't take it anymore, it makes me want to scream or scratch my face." After a while, she said, "I should What should I do?"
Hilda: "You didn't ask my advice when you got married, and now I don't think you need to ask me what to do."
Pazzi gave her mother an angry look. Hilda pretended not to see.
Hilda: "He bullied you?"
Jiu Qi: "no."
Hilda: "He alcoholism see Bo??"
Patsy: "no."
Hilda: "He pursued other women?"
Pa Qi: "No."
Hilda: "Then why? Forget it, my girl, tell the truth."
Pazzi: "God is my witness, Mom. I really don't know. I lay on him last night. Thinking around, what if I'm blind? Fuck, what if I don't have a leg or something?"
Hilda glared at her and said, "Look at your mouth!"
Patsy I ignored it and continued: "I look at the house, life is not bad - a nice house, a man who loves me, and I have sung on TV four times myself. Why do I force myself every morning What about getting up?"
Hilda stood up, straightened her apron, and said, "Okay, I don't see anything wrong with you. You know, you're always reluctant to be content, just like that when you were a kid."
Paige interrupted her, saying: "Oh, mother, bullshit, I don't want to talk about my three-year-old. What should I do now?"
Hilda: "Okay, you can scream a few times, scratch your face, and see No."
Pazzi glanced at his mother, then chuckled. She shrugged and lit another cigarette.
Patsy: "I just wanted to have a little fun, but, hell, I can live with it, I think I can live with it."
Hilda sat down again and said, "Then peel the beans for me."
11. Jay Errade's living room,
Pazzi returned home silently with a suitcase. When a person is bored, he takes out his clothes and irons them. As she ironed, tears fell. Tears fell on the clothes, which were ironed out again.
12. Rainbow Club Night
is another Saturday night. The neon lights in front of the Rainbow Club are flickering and beautiful. Cars come and go, very crowded.
Pazzi sang "Forever" tonight. She stood on the stage for a while with her eyes closed and frowned, and for a while nodding with a smile, completely immersed in her singing. Suddenly, she saw a person standing in front of the stage, listening intently to her singing. This man's face is very familiar. She remembered that he was the clown named Charlie who haunted her that day. Patsy was stunned, almost missing the beat. She tried her best to control her nervousness and excitement and finished the song.
Charlie had been standing in front of the stage for a long time, and everyone else was dancing except him, standing in the middle, staring intently at Patsy. He pretended to have a guitar in his hand, plucked the strings to the rhythm, and tapped the beat with his toes, as if it were not the musician but him who accompanies Pazzi.
After Pazzi finished singing, the dance partners in the audience responded with warm applause, and Charlie's applause was the loudest. He exclaimed, "Excellent, girls, you sing so well! I mean, you really got me..."
Pazzi came down from the backstage, crossed the ballroom, and took a seat in the back seat of the bar. Charlie followed, and Patsy stood up to walk away. Charlie stopped her.
Charlie: "Your song is really good. I don't know if you remember..."
Pazzi: "Go away."
Charlie: "No, listen, I really want to..."
Pazzi said angrily, "I don't want to know. What do you think when I sing. You think it's fun, don't you?"
Charlie: "Gosh, I'm listening to you!"
Pazzie: "I don't like how you hear it. Go away."
Charlie looked at her, but did not go away. Pazzi brushed past him, came to the bar, asked for a glass of wine by himself, and drank it. Unexpectedly, when he turned around, he found Charlie standing beside him again.
Charlie: "I want to explain."
Patsy turned his head and said to himself, "This immortal thing is not going away."
Charlie didn't get angry, and said, "Look, fool, I'm here. To explain. I'm so sorry for distracting you just now. I appreciate your singing so much. But now I'll take a good look at this Patsy Klein, it's nothing to me." He made a request. As he left, he continued, "I don't care if you fucking go on TV and sing, you don't sing very well. If you listened to Kitty Wells' records seriously, you'd come back Go and tear your damn throat."
Charlie said so much in one breath, feeling thirsty, asked the boss for another glass of wine and swallowed half of it. Pazzi listened, half surprised, half amused. She moved, leaned over where Charlie was standing, and sat down on a stool next to him.
Pazzi: "At the party last week, you said you wanted to buy me a drink, and now I want to drink it."
Charlie heard this, his anger subsided, and his eyes immediately filled with a smile. Called the boss loudly and asked for a drink for Patsy.
Patsy took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "It seems that you are ahead of me. You know my name, but I don't know yours."
Charlie: "My name is Charlie, Charlie Dick."
Patsy: "Charlie Dick?"
Charlie: "Yes."
Patsy took another sip of wine and asked, "So, Charlie, what are you doing with me? Is it because you're obsessed with music that you're chasing Rainbow Road from there? "Is it?"
Charlie: "No. I heard that you are very bold, I like your character, and I want to know more about you."
Pazzi: " Tell me more."
Charlie felt embarrassed for a while and didn't say anything .
Pazzi: "I said, go into more detail. I think, when you said you want to know more about me, you meant that you wanted me to play with you for ten minutes in the back seat of your car."
Charlie was even more embarrassed. After a pause, "You bastard. You think you're made of gold. If I want to play with those old women, I've got a place. Go out this door to my porch and I can find five women."
Patsy listened. Ge Ge kept smiling, "You're so happy. God. Do you know who you remind me of? Myself." After
speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled, put down the cups in their hands, and followed the rhythm of the music, dance to tune.
Patsy: "You do not have to tell me about your situation I can tell.."
Charlie heart is filled with joy, saying:. "Look, dear,"
Patsy pretend looked at his face, he said solemnly : "You had a good life when you were young. Your father had some money, so you could have whatever you wanted. However, from then on, you became addicted to alcohol. Your parents have always lived in that house. Now this one The house needs to be painted. Your dad is retired long ago, but he drinks more than he used to. But your mom still thinks he's the most amazing person in the world. It's not hard to guess, your look tells me everything. How?"
Charlie didn't answer, just hugged Patsy tighter. His face became very serious for the first time. Pazzi saw this and stopped asking questions.
Charlie and Patsy were the last two customers to leave the bar that night. They chatted heartily together, as if they had long been acquaintances.
Patsy: "And then, that's how I grew up. My dad abandoned us when I was six. Never saw him since. God, but my mom and I had a good life. She didn't have a job. , because she has to stay at home to take care of my younger brother and sister Shu. So, since I was fifteen years old, I have been singing as a business to support the family."
Charlie: "You mean the whole family depends on you alone?"
Patsy: "Well, sometimes mom sews clothes for people too. But basically, yeah, on my income."
Charlie whistled softly.
Pazzi: "You will like my mother. Everyone likes her."
Pazzi said here, paused, and then asked: "What about your father? I just mentioned your mother, you haven't mentioned him yet. What?" When
Charlie heard his father, his expression changed again. He was silent for a while, obviously not wanting to answer the question. After a while, he changed the subject.
Charlie: "I want to ask you a question. What do you like the most about the things you just said? Hurry up!"
Pazzie: "I like them all. I would even like to go back to being eleven or twelve."
Charlie scoffed sneered.
Pazzi: "No, I'm serious. I'm going to be a country singer, earn some money, and then have two children, stop singing, and raise them at home. I want to have a big house with lots of plants around. I think, as long as a person works hard, her wish will come true. God knows, someone has arranged a hospitable death, and this person may be me."
Charlie put down the wine glass in his hand and leaned over, Kissed Patsy softly. Pazzi also kissed him lightly. The two left the bar and came to the parking lot. Charlie found his car, went in, turned on the radio, and there was music. Charlie and Patsy, both half-drunk, danced under the neon lights to the music of the radio. They hug and kiss. They have forgotten themselves, and everything around them, and they are just indulging in themselves.
13. Hilda's kitchen
After Hilda got up early in the morning to send off the two children who were going to school, she began to clean up the kitchen and prepare lunch. Suddenly, she saw through the glass that her eldest daughter Patsy, with a suitcase in one hand, got out of the taxi and walked towards the door of the house. Her heart skipped a beat, feeling very uneasy.
Patsy is full of spring breeze. Her tufts of hair fell over her eyebrows, her clothes were wrinkled, and she walked briskly despite carrying two boxes. She stood at the door, put down the suitcase, glanced at her sullen mother, ran up to her and turned around her, making her skirts fly.
Patsy: "I feel good, Mom, don't look at me like that, I feel great!"
Hilda couldn't laugh, and asked sullenly, "What are these boxes for?"
Patsy: "Me and him We broke up."
Hilda: "Oh, Patsy."
Patsy's mood was not affected, she walked around the kitchen and jumped into the living room like a little girl, shouting excitedly: "I don't care, I don't care, I don't care."
Hilda looked her daughter directly in the eyes: "There must be someone."
Pazzi: "No, I did it for myself."
Hilda: "There must be someone
I'm done." Pazzi hugged her mother and said
coquettishly , "No. Oh, dear, baby, be happy for me." Hilda still wouldn't give in: "Does Gerrard know?"
Pazzi: " I saw him on the road when I came here and told him. You know what he said?"
Hilda was silent. Patsy hunched shoulder and said: "He said, 'Well, Patsy if you have decided to divorce me, I am not in your way.'"
Patsy learn Agere Ladd tone and look finish , but he couldn't hold back his laughter. Hilda was also amused by her.
Hilda: "There must be someone, you are so happy."
Patsy: "Yes, there is one. Well, maybe there is one. Hey, I don't know. But oh sweet Jesus, I don't want to see Gerrard's face again when he says, 'Don't fuck me What I want to do.' I don't have to do it like I used to have no pursuit, just watch TV night after night."
She poured out the sullenness in her heart like a prayer, and then turned to the worried Hilda. Said, "Oh, mother, be happy for me."
Hilda was so excited to see her daughter divorced from her husband that she was gradually bewildered by her emotions. She nodded, hugged Patsy, and said no more. After Pazzi let go of her mother, she ran out the door and shouted, "God in heaven, I love this day."
A month later, Pazzi and her husband Gerrard divorced. Pazzi, like a bird in a cage, suddenly left the cage and flew to the sky. She and Charlie felt indescribably lighthearted. They danced, chatted, swam, climbed mountains, and slept together... She felt the joy of life again, and tasted the nectar of love again. She has changed, she has become carefree, she has become lively and happy.
14. Seaside
weekend. Charlie drives with Patsy to the beach for a picnic. I saw that the sea water was smoky, and the waves were long. Translucent, glass-like, barely discernible ripples rolled in the distance without stopping, gently washing the pebbles scattered on the seashore. People who come here for the weekend run and jump into the azure water, splashing golden water, and the rainbow appears there. Laughter, screeching cries, shouts, exclamations, the clamor of lively people, like bright sunshine, burst out together, and the coast seemed to come alive.
Charlie and Patsy melted into the lively crowd and immediately became childlike. They chased and frolicked in the water; picnicked under umbrellas, and unknowingly the sun went down and night fell.
The crowd on the beach gradually dispersed, leaving only a few couples to linger. Gradually, Charlie and Patsy felt the chill, so they picked up some branches from nearby, lit a small bonfire, put on a blanket, and they cooked food on the fire.
Charlie: "It's a good day."
Patsy: "It's rubbish."
Charlie: "What are you trying to do, you always want to talk over me. Just say 'Yeah, it's a good day', won't you do it?"
Pazzie was amused and said, "It's a good day."
Charlie Nodding with satisfaction. He glanced at the dark sea, wrapped the blanket tightly again, and said, "How much would you pay if you were to jump back into the sea?"
Seeing that Patsy was silent, he added, "No, I mean Just
kidding . How much?" Pazzi: "Three hundred dollars."
Charlie: "Fuck, you really know what to do?" Pazzi nodded.
Charlie: "God, I wish I had three hundred dollars."
Patsy smiled and said nothing.
Charlie: "So, do you still want to have such days often in the future?"
Pazzie: "Of course."
Charlie: "No, I mean regular."
Pazzie: "Of course."
Charlie: "No, Often. Often happy days, which means one day from the sun to Saturday."
Pazzi still looked at him puzzled. Charlie hesitated for a while, and finally said, "Do you want to get married?"
Pazzie's eyes widened when he heard this. She hesitated, not knowing what to say.
Charlie: "I beg you."
Pazzi heard Charlie's pleading, and couldn't help but jumped forward and put his arms around his neck. She smiled and put her head on his chest. But he kept holding her tightly, feeling her heart beating and her whole body trembling uncontrollably.
They let go of their hands, looked into each other's faces ecstatically, looked into each other's eyes, laughed and laughed, and then hugged warmly again.
Charlie: "Can I take this as a sign of consent?"
Pazzi laughed, slapping him on the shoulder.
15. Charlie and Patsy's New Home - Bedroom Night
A week later, Charlie and Patsy were officially married. On the wedding night, Pazzi was very excited. She carefully took off her wedding dress, put on a pink embroidered nightgown, re-trimmed her hair in front of the mirror, and arrived at the new house beaming.
Charlie was already lying on the bed, with his hairy chest exposed, one hand under his head, a cigarette in the other.
Patsy: "Today, you're wearing your new clothes, standing in front of the priest, saying that same thing, but it all looks so different. I want it, Charlie, I want it all to happen."
Charlie: " Know what you want? You just like to put your head here."
He stretched out his left arm. Patsy walked over to the bed and lay beside him, burying his head in Charlie's chest. Charlie kissed her cheek and tried to kiss her mouth again, but Patsy pushed it away gently.
Patsy: "Wait, this is my wedding night, Charlie, I want a word, I want you to say that."
Although Charlie loves Pazzie so deeply, it's hard to say it. difficulty.
He hesitated, and said, "I love you."
Patsy: "Hoo, great, say it again."
Charlie smiled, a little embarrassed, and said, "I love you, damn it."
He took a puff of smoke, Spit out a circle, then got heavy and said, "Look, I hope this is all right. I want to try because I've seen a lot of marriages -- fail. It's over. If you are not careful, you will fall. Marriage is not easy."
Pazzi: "Let's try again."
16. Club · Night After
marriage, Pazzi still often goes to bars or clubs to sing at night. Charlie was there with a cigarette in one hand and a toast in the other, watching Pazzi sing with great contentment. Sometimes, after Pazzi had finished singing, they would dance with everyone. But often Pazzi danced around Charlie alone, because he was half-drunk and couldn't jump. Pazzi was still dancing with all his heart and laughing. She wanted to enjoy as much joy as she could in her days with Gerald.
16. The Patsy Living Room
Time flies, Pazzi and Charlie have been married for more than half a year. They are deeply in love. Pazzi felt happiness like never before. Hilda is delighted that her daughter has found happiness again.
On this day, she came to Patsy's house and helped her sew new curtains. Patsy cleaned the house and made the house clean and comfortable.
Hilda hummed a song
as she stepped on her sewing machine: "When the morning dew dripped on the roses,
I came to the garden alone.
I heard some noise, it
was the darling of the heavens.
…
Patsy heard Mama The two sang in harmony. The two sang while they were working. The singing was so harmonious that one could not help but think that there were thousands of such choruses. The sunset rays shot into the living room through the glass and reflected the room. It's red. The sewing machine's "crawling" sound accompanies the singing. Two happy women. The
work is done and the singing is enough. The mother and daughter are sitting together drinking coffee, but they quarrel.
Hilda: "I don't do it. You foolish idea to tell me to lie on TV. "
Pazzi: "You don't have to lie. Just say 'Mr. Godfrey, I'm Hilda Hensley, and I've brought my friend Patsy Klein. I found this talent. 'It's not a lie, you are my friend. "
Hilda:" I do not want to do that, so you better not try to convince me. This kind of thing should not be done by relatives. That's why you gave me that narrow-sleeved casual dress? So you can ask me to do this? When
Pazzi heard this, he became anxious and said, "I gave you the casual clothes because you knew that you liked this dress." "
Hilda stubbornly said, "Well, I'm not going to lie on TV. "
You don't have to lie, damn it, you don't have to tell the truth about what you know, I beg you!" Pazzie exclaimed. "
Hilda:" Be careful what you say! "
Knowing that he was too impatient, Patsy laughed and said, "Oh, please, Mom! I need to do this. Think about it, it means a national TV show. Just say 'Mr. Godfrey, I'm Hill. Da Hensley, I brought my friend Patsy Klein, I discovered this talent. 'you have to how to do? you want me to kneel down and beg you? I can kneel. "
said She really wanted to kneel down and was pulled by Hilda. Patsy still begged bitterly: "Please help me become a singer before I can buy a house full of yellow roses. Please, please, please, please, please, please, please. ! "
Hilda was so contradictory, and yell, said:" Oh, that big yellow roses planted the house, I heard a headache, how do you say, Charlie? "
Patsy:" he can not leave, otherwise, he told We went together. But he thought it was a brilliant idea."
