I thought that was pretty good.

Y'all don't mind
if I put my feet up?

You're not feeling well?

No, I'm fine. I just
made the mistake

Of buying scarlett, the
sequel to gone with the wind.

Stayed up half the
night to finish it.

I can't believe you
bought that book.

It's become such
a big best seller,

You know they'll publish sequels

To every book ever written.

Next, grapes of
wrath, part ii...

The joad family buys a
winnebago and moves to bel air.

I haven't seen this, yet.

What happens to
rhett and scarlett?

Well...

No, don't tell me. I'll read it.

I ought to warn you.

Maybe I don't remember...

It's been a while since
I read the original.

But I don't remember
at any point in that one

Scarlett having a
strong, warm thrusting

Filling her aching emptiness.

Eew! It says that?

About scarlett o'hara?

Kind of makes you
long for the days

When rhett kind of
carried her up the steps.

We filled in the rest.

We don't need anybody

Spelling out every
thrust, do we?

I sure don't.

I can't believe I
read that book.

But I really can't believe I
read that geraldo rivera book.

You did not!

Bethany page gave
it to me, so I read it.

When I finally got
to sleep last night,

I had this terrible nightmare

That scarlett and
geraldo were having sex

In the boiler room in
the basement of tara.

Then they got married
and she changed her name

To scarlett o'hara rivera,

And then he did this show

On "women who sh**t
yankees too much."

It was really a long night.

Julia, how's that breakfast bar?

It's good, carlene.

How's yours?

Pungent, with an
impudent crunch.

Good morning, everybody.

Morning... Allison.

Mary jo, did you call
the journal-constitution

About enlarging our ad?

Uh, yeah, i... I did.

It'll be an additional $200

If we want to go
through with it.

Well, that sounds reasonable.

Did you do that for halloween?

It's noticeable, isn't it?

I would have to say yes.

I can't believe this.

I went to tako for
a routine touch-up.

You know, he's japanese,

And everyone says
that he's the best.

So he says, "why don't
we do something bold?"

By the way, anytime
your hairdresser says

"Why don't we do
something bold,"

k*ll him.

Unfortunately,
I didn't k*ll him,

So I'll do the
next best thing...

I'm going to sue
him until he is dead.

Where is anthony?

He had a law school
class this morning.

Hi, y'all.

Anthony!

Just the person I wanted to see.

I want to talk about a lawsuit

I'm thinking of starting.

Oh, really? What's
it regard... Ha ha ha!

Can I sue?

No, I don't think so,

But you can apply
to clown college.

Hey, I'm glad that
everybody's here.

I've got something to ask you.

I got this letter from this guy

Who's setting up a
prison outreach program.

I thought I would participate.

Would you all like to, also?

I ought to do this.

It helps me to appreciate
how far I've come.

Nowadays, a problem
is combining law school

With my career here.

Seven years ago, it
was where can I hide

To avoid doing the
cha-cha with t. Tommy reed?

He was the meanest guy
in anthony's cell block.

At one point, he checked out

A book on table manners
from the prison library

Then later stabbed an inmate

For serving him
from the wrong side.

Wow!

Anthony, you know
interesting people.

Well, I believe in
helping wherever I can,

But suppose we did do
this outreach thing...

What could we possibly
have to say to these men?

You could tell them
how you employed me,

Promoted me, co-signed
for my college loan.

They should know
people can help.

Then I thought
maybe... You could sing.

Sing?

Yes. They would
be so appreciative.

We hardly ever got
entertainment there.

Except for that time they
said gladys knight was coming,

And only one pip showed up.

Anthony, I'm really grateful
that you'd want me there,

But think about it.

I've only sung at church
socials and weddings.

Certainly not for a group of...

Hardened criminals
who haven't seen

A live woman in 20 years?

Thank you, mary joe.

These are human beings,

And seven years
ago I was one of them.

This is all very moving.

Have a wonderful time.

Leave your dental
records on my desk.

Ow! Whoo! Whoo!

Whoo! Whoo! Yeah!

Quiet, girls.

My, they certainly
are... Intense-looking.

Whoo! Ow! Yeah!

They're all staring
at my wig, aren't they?

Allison, they are not
looking at your wig.

They haven't gotten up that far.

Let me tell you again
how pleased we are

To have you here.

This is my pet project.

We're happy to
be here, aren't we?

Yes, we are. Yes.

It's a pleasure.

How'd y'all like your lunch?

It was delicious, thank you.

If you don't
mind, I'd like to sit.

Well, let's get started here.

Confidentially, all the
prison officials told me

It was a terrible idea

To invite lady visitors
here, but you know what?

I think it's going to work o.k.

He thinks it's
going to work o.k.

What does he mean he
thinks it's going to work?

Shh. Sit down.

Today, we are lucky
to have one of our own

Come back to share
his life with us.

This man used to
reside in cell block 5,

But now works
for one of atlanta's

Most prestigious design firms.

He also attends law school.

A real success story,
mr. Anthony bouvier.

Uh...

He's also joined today by
his business associates...

Ow! Whoo! Yeah!

All right. Come on, now.

Hold it down.

Um... Now, after anthony speaks,

Miss julia sugarbaker

Has kindly agreed to
favor us with a song.

Song! Song! Song! Song!

Julia, maybe you'd
better go first.

No, I don't think so, anthony.

Uh-huh. O.k., Well.

Here goes!

Break a leg!

I wish you hadn't said that!

Hi, how y'all doing?

Song! Song! Song! Song!

Ahem.

Seven years ago
i-i was one of you.

I woke up every
morning feeling hopeless

With nothing to look forward to.

In a million years, I
could have never imagined

Living the life
that I lead today.

Not that it's so great...

It's actually kind of
an average existence.

Somebody gave me this coat.

B-but my point is that one day

I went to the library,
and from then on

Days started passing
faster because...

Hey, anthony. Remember me?

T. Tommy reed?

Oh, my! Look, everybody,

It's t. Tommy reed.

How you doing?

Never better, never
better, never better.

Did I say that already?
Ha ha! Yourself?

No complaints.

You guys know
how I like to dance.

That's the best little
partner I ever had right there.

You know, you spoil me, man.

Hey... What can I say?

Don't let me interrupt you.

That's all right.

I think you added to
my credibility here.

W-where was i?

Oh, yes. I would like
to quote from a book

That I read while I
was here in prison...

Forget the quote.
Let's see you dance.

Yeah! Yeah! Dance! Dance!

Dance! Dance! Dance!

All right, now, cut it out!

Dance! Dance! Dance!
Song! Song! Song!

I think what we have here

Is a failure to communicate.

I'm sorry about this.

Please, it seems clear

That this isn't going to work.

We should get out of
here as soon as possible.

Please don't. You're
our trial effort.

If this fails, no one
from the community

Will come here.

Song! Song! Dance! Dance!

Maybe julia should
sing her song.

Yeah, that might work. Please!

Oh... Anthony.

Let's hit it.

Song! Song! Song!

♪ When you walk

♪ Through a storm

♪ Hold your head

♪ Up high

It's working. They're
calming down.

♪ And don't be afraid

♪ Of the dark

Boring!

♪ At the end of the storm

♪ Is a golden sky

♪ And the sweet, silver song

What's that? Does
julia have to stop?

I don't think so.

This is it!

Oh, my god, it's a break!

Well, I don't see anything.

That guard said he was
coming back, didn't he,

Or was that some kind
of cruel prison joke?

He is coming back.

He's waiting until it's
safe to escort us out.

We're better off
locked up in here...

Until they regain
control of the prison.

I'll tell you,

When that big ol'
door slammed shut

And those big ol'
locks clicked into place,

That's the ugliest
thing I ever heard.

You never heard my
ex-husband and his buddies

Throwing up after a
hard night of drinking.

I can't believe this.

Some of these men
have been here 25 years.

Why do they have
to break out now?

They must have been able
to tolerate life in here...

That is, until you
started to sing.

Oh, no.

It's not julia's
singing that did this.

I think you sing real well.

Hey.

When you walk through a storm,

Hold your head up high,

And don't be afraid of the dark.

At the end of the storm

Is a golden sky,

And the sweet, silver song of...

That's enough, carlene.

O.k.

I cannot believe you,

Standing the middle
of a prison riot,

Saying,

"Where are y'all going?"

Well, excuse me.

I've never been to a
prison riot before.

The closest I've gotten

Were the half-price gold
rush days at the wal-mart.

That was tough. Those women...

Carlene!

Don't start, o.k.?

Let's not fight
amongst ourselves.

We've got to stay focused.

I've seen enough linda
blair movies to know

We cannot panic.

They feed on that.

They can smell your fear.

The important thing
is that we keep calm

And try to keep as low
a profile as possible.

Looks like anthony's
taking your advice.

I think anthony's having
a prison flashback.

I'll check on him.

Anthony?

Aah!

Julia, never sneak
up on a man in prison.

Are you all right?

I'm just fine, just hunky-dory,

Thinking how glad I am
to be locked up again

With t. Tommy reed.

I was warming myself in the
glow of this golden moment.

Why did I come back in here?

High walls, armed guards,

att*ck dogs, barbed wire.

These things are
not exactly saying,

"Y'all come on back now, hear?"

I'm going back to
my fetal position.

Anthony, get hold of yourself.

We're all right.

Julia, I forgot...

I hated it here.

Why did I come back?

Because you wanted to help
other people like yourself.

There's nobody
like myself in here.

Why don't you come
over here and sit with us?

Buy a vowel, you
idiot! Buy a vowel!

Sounds like he's watching
wheel of fortune.

I'm hungry.

You're what?

I'm hungry.

I happen to have
a quick metabolism

And I need several
small meals a day.

I didn't care for that
lunch they served us.

There's that hospitality tray

Of fruit and wieners over there.

Where?

It's right next to mr. Reed.

More weenies?

Uh, no, thanks. I'm full.

Forgive me for staring.

You have the most
luxurious hair.

You mind my saying that?

Well, no.

What are you in for this time?

Mary jo.

Well, what should
we do now, my friends?

Too bad we don't have yahtzee.

That's always fun.

Hey, let's dance.

I'd love to, t. Tommy.
Really, I would.

But I'm just so rusty.

It's been so long since I
danced with another man.

I don't really want
to dance with you.

I want to dance with her.

You play the piano.

Any requests?

This is very strange,

Kind of like watching a
combination of american bandstand

And america's most wanted.

I really feel silly.

I came in here trying
to be albert schweitzer,

And I ended up
being jerry lee lewis.

Is it my imagination

Or are allison and t.
Tommy starting to hit it off?

When she started dancing
it was to save her life,

But now it looks
like she's enjoying it.

She's kind of drawn
to convicts, isn't she?

First there was that
insider-trading fiance of hers,

And now this guy.

You know what this
reminds me of, julia?

Remember our trip
to the mountains?

We ended up with those
hillbillies who made us dance.

Actually, t. Tommy kind of
looks like the hillbilly guy

That made me dance
with him. Remember?

When I had to slow
dance for three hours

With someone named daddy jones

Who chewed tobacco

And hadn't had a bath
since eisenhower?

Vaguely.

Y'all had so many
adventures before I met you.

This is getting to be
one adventure too many.

There's got to be
some way to stop this.

That's one way.

Anyway, then tako
said, "let's be bold."

And this is what happened.

Oh, I hate him.

And I hate his stupid ponytail.

Please don't cry, miss allison.

I can't stand it when you cry.

I'm pretty well
connected on the outside.

You say the word,

And this tako
character is history.

You would have a
man k*lled for me?

Oh, that is so sweet.

Nobody has ever done
anything like that for me before.

Allison!

But no, no, you can't do that.

Promise me you won't do that.

Well, all right, but
the offer stands.

Hey, let's dance a little more.

That will make you feel better.

Can you tango?

No, I'm afraid I don't.

Anthony and I will show you how.

Anthony, come here
and tango with me.

I was afraid this
was going to happen.

Julia, would you please
play the piano for us?

You think you're
pretty hot stuff,

Coming back here,
lording it over us.

That's not why I came back.

You think you're better than us.

You're going to
tell us how to live,

With your fancy clothes

And college law degree.

I just came to help.

¡Olé! ¡Olé!

Just because you made
something of yourself

And I k*lled a man and
went back to prison,

You think you're better than me.

No.

Well, yes.

You'll probably k*ll me
for saying this, t. Tommy,

But I didn't come all
the way back here

To tell lies.

Yes, it is better to get a job

Than to go out and
commit more crimes.

Yes, I am better than you

Because I made myself better.

And another thing...

I have guts for coming back here

To try helping someone else.

So I have absolutely
nothing to be ashamed of.

I have two things to say to you.

Number one, this will be
our last dance together,

Permanently.

And number two,

Always,

Always dip on the downbeat.

All right, I can get
you out safely now...

Unless you'd rather I
come back at a better time.

Hey, y'all,

Look what I got.

Don't tell us.

An invitation for the five of us

To make a little
inspirational talk in beirut.

That little prison trip
wasn't that bad, was it?

I think we got a lot out of it

I exorcised a few demons.

I think it was
worthwhile. Don't you?

No. No. No.

So what did you get?

It's a thank you
note from jack henry.

He included a letter
from another guy there

Who wants me to be
his legal consultant.

He may be in on a
bad rap, like I was.

I'm not a lawyer yet,
but maybe I can help.

Oh, yes, this is for you.

What in the world?

It's from t. Tommy reed.

"Abiding by your
wishes, my dear,

"No harm has come to mr. Tako,

"But please accept
this as a small token

Of my undying esteem."

Well, what is it?

It's tako's ponytail!
