Wingate, I Love You (1973)

No one seems to care anymore. I just walk me out of the door. No one seems to listen. I wonder if they're missing me. Missing me [Music] over. No missing me. Oh, [Music] [Music] [Music] Uh, can I help you? I'd like a ticket to Denver, please. Okay, that'll be $32. Thank you. I'm sorry. Why don't you watch where you're going? I said I was sorry. Okay, [Music] Denver. [Music] Ow. [Music] Nice shot. Yeah. Thanks. You're going to Denver, too, huh? So am I. Terrific. You ever been to Denver before? Yes, I've been to Denver. I was in Denver in 1963. When I was there, I got poison ivy and sprained my ankle. Okay. for San Bernardino, Riverside, Phoenix, Tucson, Laser, Oklahoma City. Going to find a friendly Greyhound that will take me out of this town. No more conversations with someone who just puts me down. [Music] Nations with someone who just puts me down. [Music] Sorry about flying off at you. What do you want? I said I said I was sorry for smarting off before. I'm in a bad thing. You ever been to Denver? Here once about a year ago. Business. You might call it that. I have a nephew up there. Pretty good kid, I guess. he gets in trouble. His folks split up. That's why I got to go up and bail him out. About a year ago, he started running around with a really bad crowd. Got arrested, stealing. Not much, just shoplifting. I went up and tried to talk to him, tried to straighten him out, but he didn't even want me around him. You know better than to be in here, don't you? Right. I'll be going. I'll tell you where you're going. Back to Leighton. Bill, if you don't get real smart real fast, dig. What's wrong with kids today? Why won't they listen? What's his name? Windgate. Windgate. Leroy. Windgate. I'm sorry, but with a name like Windgate, no wonder he's in trouble. You're the one with the snappy answers. Try this one on. See how sharp you are. What do I say to him when I see him in jail? Why don't you go up to him with a big smile on your face and say, "Windgate, I love you. Why don't you watch your mouth? Hey, you know something? If people your age weren't so afraid of words like love, maybe kids wouldn't be so messed up. Oh, so now you're the expert on love. Man, I'm really lucky meeting you. I don't know how I got this far without your advice and guidance. Listen to me. I I know what I'm talking about. Really? So, what makes you an expert? Cuz for the last 5 years, it's been nothing nothing but garbage at home. All we ever do is fight. You got to get your hair cut. We don't like your attitude. Oh, man. All we ever do is yell. Nobody listens. Yeah. Yeah. Sure. Go ahead. Sure. Call me anytime you want to call. You need something. Who do you call? You call me. I ain't going to help you anymore. You'll stay out of trouble. Get lost. You're all the time. Don't talk to your father like that. That's just rotten. That's just terrible. You know, I just I You never give me a chance to say anything. Of course we do. Come on. You just here and there. You don't talk that. That's why I'm going to Denver. And that's what makes me an expert. So, if you really want to blow it, Uncle Arthur, just go into that jail and start yelling at him. [Music] Now loading at door one. The scenic service to Denver with intermediate stops is ready for boarding at door number one. All aboard, please. Hey, Arthur. Yeah. What? You have a nice trip and uh good luck with Windgate. Yeah. I thought you wanted to Denver. Like I said, nobody listens. That includes me. I don't know. Hey, pleasure meeting you. Thanks for the advice. Sure. Don't worry. [Applause] [Music] Maybe we can give it a try. If they were not listening, well, so was I. We got a chance to make it. If we can only take it this time. Oh yeah. N. We got a chance to make it. If we can only take it this time. [Music]
