Quotes
-
Loretta Haggers : My song is called "Ballad of a Hostage," which is of course Mrs. Mary Hartman.
Charlie Haggers : Honey, we don't have the guitar.
Loretta Haggers : Oh, that's all right, Charlie, I'm gonna sing acapella.
[bursts into song]
Loretta Haggers : Oh, she was a good ol' girl! / Just as swee-wee-weet as she can be / Till the day that someone crazy grabbed ahold of her / Said, gal, come along with me! / Oh, don't you stay in no Chinese laundry, Mary! / Don't stay with no killer and his gun! / Just keep your heart set right on Jesus / And run, sweet Mary, better run / Oh, yeah, run, sweet Mary, better run - !
Clete Meizenheimer : [exasperated, attempting to interrupt, finally shouts] Thank you! Back to you in the studio, Chet!
