Voila! Finally, the Hounddog script is here for all you fans of the Dakota Fanning movie. This puppy is a transcript that was painstakingly
transcribed using the screenplay and/or viewings of the movie to get the dialogue. I know, I know, I still need to get the cast names in there and all that jazz, so if you have any corrections, feel free to
drop me a line. At least you'll have some Hounddog quotes (or even a monologue or two) to annoy your coworkers with in the meantime, right?
And swing on back to Drew's
Script-O-Rama afterwards -- because reading is good for your noodle. Better than Farmville, anyway.
Hounddog Script
We must be careful with the snakes...

You always have to be careful
the snakes killed.
USA where a stick,
the reflexes are such that a snake
Bite after poisonous you dead.
My grandmother said to drink
whiskey if you are bitten
mixing in the blood
and kills the poison.
Drink whiskey if you're always
bitten by a snake...
but to conclude whether
still alive.
The whiskey makes the poison go more
quickly in the blood to the heart.
Believe that God punishes
for your sins?
No, I do not.
Believe that God punishes
for the sins of another person?
No, I know he does not.

of our youth today.
And the reason I believe this is because
know what you feel when you sing.
I know what you feel when listening,
I cursed the thoughts and wishes that
seize when you are raptured by the pace.
And yes, as a young, know what I
dislike this song so much...
But tell them a thing,
is the rhythm, the rhythm.
It is the pace.
There are many lovers of
music here in the church
but devote all their music

- It will not.
And you begin to speak during sleep?
You can do this...
Stop worry about.

What you do with that empty?
What I loved was violated
and stolen from you. You have a vacuum there.

- Shut up.
You have to feel this empty.
You have to feel when

Only one black.
- You too, girl.
- No, I do not...
- You too.

Yes, you.
You made them believe that you were not.
It is the way that people you

The way people look at you
insult you and you spit.
People try to make

Apart from the things you love most.

You got to dance.
If you stay quiet,
can engage more in the sound.
I can not sing.

It is quiet and good looking background.
Stay quiet.
It is very, very quiet.
So you go.
The mixture is crazy powerful.
If you do the right, when you die...
and amounts to free spirit.
The ghosts do not try to catch.
But if you do not,
the spirits lead you to madness.
Always have a way to do it.
For you to shake.
Look at you.
I will you.
What you got?
You know, I have been thinking.
I have a large rear yard,
the new house to where I moved.
It would be great for a puppy.
But that would have come too.
Why can not I take
of him alone.
And you can do it.
And he needs you.
Simply could not breathe,
Lewellen.
I could not breathe.
I was scared, you know?
I feel I can breathe now.
I have prepared for you a quarter.
- It turns-discs?
- Yes, you.
Come in, come on.
I gotta see.
Could not say no.
I'll wait here.
I'll wait here for you.
Got it.
Father
Yes, madam.
I love you.
Yes, madam.
