Plot
Six New Yorkers juggle love, friendship, and the keenly challenging specter of adulthood. Sam Wexler is a struggling writer who's having a particularly bad day. When a young boy gets separated from his family on the subway, Sam makes the questionable decision to bring the child back to his apartment and thus begins a rewarding, yet complicated, friendship. Sam's life revolves around his friends-Annie, whose self-image keeps her from commitment; Charlie and Mary Catherine, a couple whose possible move to Los Angeles tests their relationship; and Mississippi, a cabaret singer who catches Sam's eye.

Go get yourself loved.
Annie: Sadness be gone, let's be people who deserve to be loved, who are worthy, cause we are worthy.
Mary Catherine: I always thought of that as the moment you came into focus... like, "Oh, there you are."
Sam #2: You can hear this, close your eyes::Annie: What?::Sam #2: I just want you to listen to me. Humor me please?::Sam #2: [Annie closes her eyes] It's not easy to be adored - you in particular - you have a tougher time with it than most, I get that, but I want you to give it a try. Think of it as an experiment. I promise I will be very wonderful at adoring you Annie. It an area where, I think I got a great deal of talent. You're worth the adoration Annie, you're worth it, and the fact that you don't believe it, has nothing to do with whether it's true or not, it is true for me, and that is all that matters.
Mississippi: I realized the problem. You write short stories... and I think you like living short stories, but I'm kinda ready for the novel.
Small Town, Big Dreams...Dream On.
Plot
Hired gunman Cole Thornton turns down a job with Bart Jason as it would mean having to fight an old sheriff friend.

Along with young Mississippi, handy with a knife and now armed with a diabolical shotgun, Cole returns to help.

It's The Big One With The Big Two!
They were friends. They were enemies. A passerby could not tell which was who. This was the seething sultry Old Southwest. Where loyalties and labels shifted with the sands, the winking of an eye, the wavering of a gun!
[Cole Thornton is turning down Bart Jason]::Bart Jason: Since when did hired guns get choosy? You're paid to take...::Cole: I'm paid to risk my neck. I'll decide where and when I'll do it. This isn't it.::Bart Jason: Ya know, Thornton, I got an idea you just don't want to go up against Sheriff J.P. Harrah.::Cole: You know, you're just about right?::Bart Jason: You think he's that good?::Cole: I tell ya he's that good.
Sheriff J. P. Harrah: What the hell are you doin' here?::Cole: I'm lookin' at a tin star with a... drunk pinned on it.
Sheriff J. P. Harrah: He went out that door!::Cole: Well you oughta know! You missed him!
Milt: You've got a lot of faith in me, don't ya, Nelse?::Nelse McLeod: Faith can move mountains, Milt. But it can't beat a faster draw. There's only three men I know with his kind of speed. One's dead. The other's me. And the third is Cole Thornton.::Cole: There's a fourth.::Nelse McLeod: Which one are you?::Cole: I'm Thornton.::[Milt withdraws]::Nelse McLeod: Aren't you glad you didn't try, Milt? Pick up your guns, both of you, real easy.::Cole: Like he said, real easy.
Cole: Next time you shoot somebody, don't go near 'em till you're... sure they're dead!
Sheriff J. P. Harrah: Well, wait a minute, wait, wait for me!::Cole: Why?
Nelse McLeod: Can you use a gun?::Mississippi: Well, if I could I'd be using one. Good evening.::Cole: Just minute, Mississippi.::Mississippi: Would you mind telling me why you have such a great passion for my company?
Cole: Did you get him?::Mississippi: Who?::Cole: The fella that ran outta the church!::Mississippi: Well, yes and no.::Cole: Yes and no? Did you or didn't you?::Mississippi: I hit the sign, and the sign hit him.::Cole: Well, that's great.::Mississippi: He was limping when he left!::Cole: He was limping when he got here!
Mississippi: Always liked that poem too. Makes me wanna...::Cole: Ride, boldly ride? Well it don't work out that way.::Mississippi: I'm learnin' that.
Mississippi: [examining J.P.'s leg after he's been shot] I gotta cut this pant leg.::Sheriff J. P. Harrah: Well, go ahead and cut it! Have you got a kni...::[Mississippi pulls out his knife from its hiding place on his back]::Sheriff J. P. Harrah: A knife? Uh, I suppose I've asked this before, but just who?::[looks at Cole instead]::Sheriff J. P. Harrah: Who is he?::Cole: Tell him your name, Mississippi.::Mississippi: [sighs and looks up] Alan Bourdillion Trehearne.::Sheriff J. P. Harrah: Well, no wonder he carries a knife.

Plot
"Red Barry" was the 40th sound-era serial produced by Universal Pictures (followed "Flaming Frontiers" and preceded "Scouts To the Rescue"), and was based in the Will Gould comic strip distributed to newspapers by King Features Syndicated, Inc. It was the third of five serials from Universal starring Buster Crabbe, and while the plot only revolves around two million dollars in bonds and soon evolves into a game of "Bonds, Bonds, Who Has the Bonds?", it has so many groups, and their armies of henchmen, acquiring and re-acquiring the bonds that, in a chapter or two, the people who have the bonds don't appear to know they are the current holders. Wing Fu, brings the bonds to the USA to buy war planes for an unnamed county, and quickly loses them to Quong Lee, a Eurasian underworld chief, but they are re-taken in chapter two by Red Barry. Ballet dancer Natacha, representing a ruthless group of Russians, acquires them in chapter three, but Barry gets them back in chapter four. Hong Kong Cholly, an agent for Wing Fu, goes after Barry to get the bonds, but isn't successful, and is killed in chapter nine. Valentine Vane, aka Harry Dicer, a criminal investigator, takes the bonds from Barry in chapter six, but Quong Lee re-acquires them again in chapter seven. Lyceum Theatre (where Natacha dances) manager C. E. Mannix pops up with them in chapter eight, and the question of the day is how did he get them from Quong Lee? The answer is , though portrayed by two different people, William Ruhl and Frank Lackteen, Mannix and Quong Lee, for the "storyline" are one and the same as the Oriental makeup is only a disguise. The next question is why would anyone want to look like Frank Lackteen ? Two Russians, Petrov and Igor grab the bonds in chapter nine, but Barry just as quickly grabs them back. But (keep up the best you can) Wing Fu has them in chapter ten, Mannix gets them again in chapter eleven, hides them in Natacha's trunk in chapter twelve, only to have Vane steal them, and Mannix promptly shoots Vane in chapter thirteen and gets them again. But, since chapter thirteen is the concluding chapter, his ownership doesn't last long.

[referring to way the police commissioner botched Red's investigation]::Red Barry: Well, he certainly settled that in a hurry.::Insp. Scott: Settled it? He scrambled it!
Red Barry: How did you know it was a woman?::Hong Kong Cholly: Oh, smell of perfume. Hong Kong Cholly pretty good defective, yes?::Red Barry: Pretty good defective - only it doesn't help much.
Commissioner: What do you mean, writing tripe like this about Red Barry?::Mississippi: Did y'all say "Tripe"?::Commissioner: Yes, I said "Tripe"!::Mississippi: Oh. That's what I thought you said.
Natacha: I repeat, I shall never tell you where the stolen bonds are, for they belong to me and mine.::Wing Fu: You speak rashly. Remember, my people have devised very effective ways to make the unwilling scream.
Quong Lee: [to Natacha] Must I threaten you to make you understand that a few more bloodstains on these bonds won't effect their value to me?
Mississippi (i/ˌmɪsɨˈsɪpi/) is a U.S. state located in the Southern United States. Jackson is the state capital and largest city. The name of the state derives from the Mississippi River, which flows along its western boundary, whose name comes from the Ojibwe word misi-ziibi ("Great River"). Mississippi is the 32nd most extensive and the 31st most populous of the 50 United States. The state is heavily forested outside of the Mississippi Delta area, which was cleared for cotton cultivation in the 19th century. Today, its catfish aquaculture farms produce the majority of farm-raised catfish consumed in the United States. The state symbol is the magnolia grandiflora tree.
Mississippi is bordered on the north by Tennessee, on the east by Alabama, on the south by Louisiana and a narrow coast on the Gulf of Mexico and on the west, across the Mississippi River, by Louisiana and Arkansas.
In addition to its namesake, major rivers in Mississippi include the Big Black River, the Pearl River, the Yazoo River, the Pascagoula River, and the Tombigbee River. Major lakes include Ross Barnett Reservoir, Arkabutla Lake, Sardis Lake and Grenada Lake. The largest lake in Mississippi is Grenada Lake.
Every step of the way, we walk the line
Your days are numbered, so are mine
Time is piling up, we struggle and we stray
We're all boxed in, nowhere to escape
City's just a jungle, more games to play
Trapped in the heart of it, tryin' to get away
I was raised in the country, I been working in the town
I been in trouble ever since I set my suitcase down
Got nothing for you, I had nothing before
Don't even have anything for myself anymore
Sky full of fire, came pouring down
Nothing you can sell me, I'll see you around
All my powers of expression and thoughts so sublime
Could never do you justice in reason or rhyme
Only one thing I did wrong
Stayed in Mississippi a day too long
Well, the devil's in the alley, mule's in the stall
Say anything you wanna, I have heard it all
I was thinking about the things that Rosie said
I was dreaming I was sleeping in Rosie's bed
Walking through the leaves, falling from the trees
Feeling like a stranger nobody sees
So many things that we never will undo
I know you're sorry, I'm sorry too
Some people will offer you their hand and some won't
Last night I knew you, tonight I don't
I need something strong to distract my mind
I'm gonna look at you 'til my eyes go blind
Well I got here following the southern star
I crossed that river just to be where you are
Only one thing I did wrong
Stayed in Mississippi a day too long
Well my ship's been split to splinters and it's sinking fast
I'm drowning in the poison, got no future, got no past
But my heart is not weary, it's light and it's free
I've got nothing but affection for all those who sailed with me
Everybody's moving, if they ain't already there
Everybody's got to move somewhere
Stick with me baby, stick with me anyhow
Things should start to get interesting right about now
My clothes are wet, tight on my skin
Not as tight as the corner that I painted myself in
I know that fortune is waiting to be kind
So give me your hand and say you'll be mine
Well, the emptiness is endless, cold as the clay
You can always come back, but you can't come back all the way
Only one thing I did wrong
Every step of the way
We walk the line
Your days are numbered
So are mine
Time is piling up
We struggle and we scrape
All boxed in
Nowhere to escape
The city's just a jungle
More games to play
I'm trapped in the heart of it
Trying to get away
I was raised in the country
Been working in the town
I been in trouble since I
Set my suitcase down
I ain't got nothing for you
I had nothing before
Don't even have anything
For myself anymore
Sky's full of fire
And the rain is pouring down
There's nothing you can sell me
So I'll see you around
All my powers of expression
And thoughts so sublime
Could never do you justice
Reason or rhyme
There's only one thing that I did wrong
I stayed in Mississippi a day too long
The devil's in the alley
The mule kickin' in the stall
Say anything you wanna
I've heard it all
I was thinking about the things that she said
I was dreaming I was sleeping in you bed
Walking through the leaves
Falling from the trees
Feel like a stranger nobody sees
So many things we never will undo
I know you're sorry, well I'm sorry too
Some people will offer you their hand and some won't
Last night I knew you, tonight I don't
I need something strong to distract my mind
I'm gonna look at you till my eyes go blind
Well I got here, following the southern star
I crossed that river just to be where you are
There's only one thing that I did wrong
I stayed in Mississippi a day too long

But my heart is not weary, it's light and it's free

Things should start to get interesting right about now
My clothes are wet

The emptiness is endless
Cold as clay
You can always come back
But you can't come back all the way
Well there's only one thing that I did wrong
I stayed in Mississippi a day too long
Yeah the only thing that I did wrong
Was stayed in Mississippi a day too long
The only thing that I did wrong

They call her Mississippi
But she don't flow to me
Spends her light on the Bayou
But she don't come to see
She's the one that makes my dreams
They call her Mississippi
But she don't flow to me
The shape of her horizon
Makes the morning sun
When she puts her eyes on
Each and anyone
She's the one that makes me fall
Midnight moon shines through it all
She's the one that makes me fall
Midnight moon shines through it all
She's the one that makes my dreams
They call her Mississippi
But she don't flow to me

The moon is full and my arms are empty
All night long I've pleaded and cried
You always said the day that you would leave
Would be a cold day in July
Your bags are packed not a word is spoken
I guess we said everything with good-bye
Time moves so slow and promises get broken
On this cold day in July
Sun's comin' up comin' up down on Main Street
Children shout as they're running out to play
Head in my hands here I am
Standing in my bare feet
Watching you drive away
Watching you drive away
You said that we were gonna last forever
You said our love would never die
It looks like spring and
It feels like sunny weather
But it's a cold day in July
Sun's comin' up comin' up down on Main Street
Children shout as they're running out to play
Head in my hands here I am
Standing in my bare feet
Watching you drive away

The dog in you
Spit me out into the mississippi
Who can love my many selves
The wife, the bitch, the rapunzel
The one who cries
And calls for you
The one who is always alone
I know I've got a piece of my heart

I've got a little bit of thunder
Trapped inside of a cloud
The dog in you
Spit me out into the mississippi
Oh mississippi

Oh mississippi
Come and take my pain away
I feel I'm drowning
I feel I'm drowning

On the sole of your shoe
I've got a little bit of thunder
Trapped inside of a cloud
The dog in you
Du hörst ein Lied
zu dir trägt es der Wind
du schaust dorthin
wo deine Freunde sind.
Sie spielen dieses Lied allein für dich
es ist Erinnerung an eine schöne Zeit.
Auf dem Mississippi siehst du Schiffe zieh'n
wie die Wolken
die dem Augenblick entflieh'n.
Das Lied trägt dich mit ihnen in die Ferne
über die Sterne einer Sommernacht.
Mississippi
ich will bei dir sein.
Du hast so vieles schon geseh'n
kannst es sicher gut versteh'n
wenn meine Träume mit dir geh'n.
Mississ:ipp:i
du bleibst niemals steh'n.
Ewig ist dein Wellenspiel
Mississippi
bis an's Ziel
begleitet dich mein Traum.
Irgendwann wird diese Nacht zu Ende geh'n
nur Erinnerung daran bleibt noch besteh'n
und auch die Melodie wird bald verklingen
Saw all them colors in the black room.
Heard all 'em moving ridin' black light.
Saw all them colors in the black room.
Ride far away in the black night.
Next day come said t'were thunder shook the rockin'
porch.
N' said t'were lightnin' done lit up our sky.
Daddy said t'were thunder shook the rockin' porch.
But mammy said t'were Daddy's gun
Beggars can't be choosers
But I choose to be a beggar
So I'm always on the move
my heart is always on the mend
Hailstorms, rain, and snow, I go
No hurricane can stop me, no
It's up and over and back down home again
We played Memphis last night,
It was fine
Next stop on the tour
is bound to hold my peace of mind
Oh, It always puts
A smile on my face and it's the
first time I've been back here since
the last time that I came
And I think you're really pretty
and that's all I'm gonna say
Did you miss me?
Did you miss me, Mississippi?
Would you kiss me if I stayed?
That house was built before
the first world war
and I can see her now
standing on the porch
that baby boy's daddy's
going to fight and
She hopes and prays
that he'll come home
and they'll be happy and lord,
Lord, I pray that she's right
Wind's blowin' thru the trees
Oh, it feels like heaven's breathin' down on me
Oh, It always puts
A smile on my face and it's the
first time I've been back here since
the last time that I came
and that's all I'm wanna say
Did you miss me?
Did you miss me, Mississippi?
Would you kiss me if I stayed?
Oh, no, yeah
I have to leave you in the morning
That old 55 to 12
But I'll be back again
before the leaves turn orange
So, I'll say goodbye for now
Oh, It always puts
A smile on my face and it's the
first time I've been back here since
the last time that I came
And I think you're really pretty
and that's all I'm gonna say
Did you miss me?
Oh, It always puts
A smile on my face and it's the
first time I've been back here since
the last time that I came
And I think you're really pretty
and that's all I'm wanna say
Did you miss me?
Did you miss me, Mississippi?
Would you kiss me if I stayed?
Oh, oh, oh,
Oh, my god
da, da, da, da, da, da
oh, no, no
Ohhhhhhhh...
No, no, no
Na, na, na, na
Well I dearly love my home but
She never looked so good to me
Blue skies and dragonflies
Muddy creek Lord set me free
Good things are going on
there in Mississippi
She made me feel good
there in Mississippi
Folks smiling and saying hey
In my car as I'm passing by
And I can smell those barbeque grills
firing on the fourth of July
Good things are going on
there in Mississippi
She made me feel good
there in Mississippi
Good things are going on
there in Mississippi
She made me feel good
there in Mississippi
Everybody moving everybody grooving
everybody letting it all get loose
I ain’t never seen the snowfall on the Delta
Like the one that’s gonna cover all of New York tonight
But it sure do remind me of those miles and miles of cotton
Long ago but not forgotten, yeah, that’s a southern man’s field of white
Yeah, I turned my back and walked away
But lately I ain’t seen a sunny day
Been thinking ‘bout rolling on back home
Back where I belong
So won’t you put me on that riverboat Queen
Let the side wheels spin
‘Cause I ain’t seen that muddy water town in I cant remember when
All these years they played a trick on me
No, I ain’t the man I used to be
Tonight I feel like Mississippi
People round here, Lord they move in such a pace
I’m just another face, lost in the crowd
There’s a sweet sound being sung down in Dixie
Now and again it gets me when I get to feeling down
Yeah, I turned my back and walked away
But lately I ain’t seen a sunny day
Been thinking ‘bout rolling on back home
Back where I belong
So won’t you put me on that riverboat Queen
Let the side wheels spin
‘Cause I ain’t seen that muddy water town in I cant remember when
All these years they played a trick on me
No, I ain’t the man I used to be
Tonight I feel like Mississippi
All these years they played a trick on me
No, I ain’t the man I used to be
Tonight I feel like Mississippi

By The M I crooked letter, crooker letter, I crooked
letter, crooked letter I
Hump-back, hump-back I of Mississippi flowing down to
New Orleans
It flows right by my Tennessee home where history was

M-E-M-P-H-I-S, Memphis is the town I mean
Way down yonder in the land of cotton, folks like mine
are ne'er forgotten
What a wonderful thrill just to be down in Memphis,
Tennessee

Hump-back, hump-back I of Mississippi flowing down to
Where you can hear a country song for fun
And someone plays the honky tonk guitar
Where all the lights will go out one by one
Where people join the song and the wind takes it away
Where the Misissippi rolls down to the sea
And lovers found the place they like to be
How many times before this song was ending
Love and understanding everywhere around
Mississippi I'll remember you
Whenever I shall go away I'll be longing for the day
That I will be in Greenville again
Mississippi you'll be on my mind
Every time I hear this song Mississippi roll along
Until the end of time
[ steel ]
Now the country song forever lost it's soul
When the guitar picker turned to rock'n roll
And everytime when summer nights are falling
I always will be calling dreams of yesterday
Starting out of Memphis, highway 61
Traces of the places where the blues began
Sun is blazing, horizon far
Echoes of a national steel guitar
Down in Mississippi
Down in Mississippi
Down in Mississippi
Down in Mississippi
Where the blues was born
Yazoo river rolling through the land
Cradle of the blues, that delta land
Cottonfields, catfish farms
Steady-rocking rhythm since the dawn of time
Down in Mississippi
Down in Mississippi
Down in Mississippi
Down in Mississippi
Where the blues was born
Wade Walton's barbershop, backroom booze
Shave and a haircut, lots of rhythm 'n blues
Greenville
juke joint, Saturday night
Get down 'n boogie till the morning-light
Down in Mississippi
Down in Mississippi
Down in Mississippi
Down in Mississippi
Where the blues was born
Broken down Chevy on a muddy track
Ten people sharing a two-room shack
Folks so poor, nothing to loose
Get religion or that lowdown blues
Down in Mississippi
Down in Mississippi
Down in Mississippi
Down in Mississippi
Where the blues was born
Charly Patton, Fred McDowell, Willie Brown
Son House, Son Thomas, that delta sound
Black man's heart, black man's soul
Bo Diddley, Muddy Waters and Howling Wolf
Down in Mississippi
Down in Mississippi
Down in Mississippi
Down in Mississippi
Where the blues was born
Big Joe Williams, Bukka White, Robert Johnson, Jimmy Reed
Sam Chatmon, Ishman Bracy, Tommy Johnson, Skip James
John Lee Hooker, Elmore James, Mississippi John Hurt
Memphis Minnie, Peetie Wheatstraw, Sonny Boy Williamson
Down in Mississippi
