This Property Is Condemned
|
| 00:00:50 |
Wish me red roses |
| 00:00:53 |
And yellow balloons |
| 00:00:58 |
Black sequins whirling |
| 00:01:01 |
To gay dancing tunes |
| 00:01:04 |
I want all these treasures |
| 00:01:08 |
The most you can give |
| 00:01:12 |
So wish me a rainbow |
| 00:01:15 |
As long as I live |
| 00:01:17 |
All my tomorrows depend on your love |
| 00:01:22 |
So wish me a rainbow above |
| 00:01:40 |
Hey! You seen a kite? |
| 00:01:43 |
Don't talk to me till I fall off. Here, |
| 00:01:50 |
Here, take my crazy doll, will you? |
| 00:01:55 |
I don't think I can stay on much longer. |
| 00:01:58 |
This is the furthest I've ever gone |
| 00:02:10 |
- Hurt yourself? |
| 00:02:13 |
Good thing I didn't put |
| 00:02:16 |
- Spit on it. That takes the sting away. |
| 00:02:23 |
- Hey, are you OK? |
| 00:02:27 |
Principal damage was done |
| 00:02:32 |
- It wasn't a genuine diamond. |
| 00:02:35 |
If it was, you wouldn't be out |
| 00:02:39 |
Not with a banged-up doll |
| 00:02:44 |
I forgot to ask. What's your name? |
| 00:02:46 |
- Tom. |
| 00:02:49 |
- How did that happen? |
| 00:02:54 |
They already had one girl, |
| 00:02:58 |
- Why ain't you in school? |
| 00:03:02 |
- So I could fly my kite. |
| 00:03:06 |
'Cause the sky's so white. |
| 00:03:10 |
I quituated. They started on algebra. |
| 00:03:16 |
You ain't gonna get an education |
| 00:03:20 |
You ain't from flying a kite neither. |
| 00:03:22 |
Besides, what a girl needs |
| 00:03:27 |
I learned that from Alva. She was |
| 00:03:32 |
- Train engineers? |
| 00:03:35 |
Engineers, firemen, brakemen, |
| 00:03:40 |
every one of them after Alva. |
| 00:03:43 |
She was, I guess you might say, |
| 00:03:48 |
Beautiful? Jeez! |
| 00:03:54 |
Boy, you see that house over yonder? |
| 00:03:57 |
- We had some high old times in there. |
| 00:04:01 |
Musical instruments going all the time. |
| 00:04:08 |
Everybody playing on something. |
| 00:04:13 |
- Is it empty? |
| 00:04:15 |
They got a big sign stuck up. |
| 00:04:21 |
- You ain't still living there? |
| 00:04:26 |
Property's condemned, |
| 00:04:30 |
Some welfare worker came yesterday. |
| 00:04:36 |
It was something, all right. |
| 00:04:41 |
Sure is empty now, though. |
| 00:04:44 |
- Boy, see these clothes I got on? |
| 00:04:47 |
They're Alva's. Inherited from her. |
| 00:04:53 |
She was always singing around |
| 00:04:58 |
Wish me a rainbow and wish me a star |
| 00:05:03 |
All this you can give me |
| 00:05:07 |
And dreams for my pillow |
| 00:05:12 |
And a masquerade ball |
| 00:05:17 |
All my tomorrows depend on your love |
| 00:05:22 |
So wish me a rainbow above |
| 00:06:02 |
OK, here she is. Dodson. |
| 00:06:12 |
Mind if I asked you a question? |
| 00:06:15 |
Doing the things that you do, |
| 00:06:21 |
On my stomach. |
| 00:07:00 |
My mama in here? |
| 00:07:03 |
She went back this way, Willie. |
| 00:07:10 |
You seen my mama? |
| 00:07:25 |
You shouldn't be out here alone, |
| 00:07:28 |
You scared me! |
| 00:07:35 |
- Sparkles like one to me. |
| 00:07:39 |
- Willie, where's your ma? |
| 00:07:42 |
- Gotta snip off its tail... when it's lighted. |
| 00:07:48 |
That's the Starr Boarding House. |
| 00:07:51 |
Well, how do you do, Willie? |
| 00:07:56 |
You railroad? |
| 00:07:58 |
- Why do you ask? |
| 00:08:02 |
Mama will put you up some place... |
| 00:08:07 |
Mama? That you, Mama? |
| 00:08:09 |
Willie, quit that hollering! |
| 00:08:14 |
Come on. |
| 00:08:17 |
- Where've you been? |
| 00:08:21 |
- Who are you, honey? |
| 00:08:24 |
- You ain't a vagrant? |
| 00:08:26 |
- Lay-off? |
| 00:08:28 |
Well, my rooms are two a night... |
| 00:08:33 |
- Happy birthday! |
| 00:08:37 |
Two meals included. Cash in advance. |
| 00:08:43 |
- How long you fixing to stay? |
| 00:08:48 |
Only a week? Well, a buck is a buck. |
| 00:08:52 |
If you're lucky. |
| 00:08:55 |
Hey, where's the beer? |
| 00:08:58 |
It ain't usually so noisy. |
| 00:09:00 |
Some old fool got hold of it's my birthday. |
| 00:09:03 |
- Happy birthday! |
| 00:09:07 |
- Owen Legate. Happy birthday. |
| 00:09:09 |
- No, you can't go yet! I just got the beer! |
| 00:09:13 |
- Better put him in Papa's room. |
| 00:09:17 |
Jimmy Bell done got drunk and |
| 00:09:22 |
Hey, wait a minute. |
| 00:09:25 |
You knew it was firefly, didn't you? |
| 00:09:29 |
Hey... |
| 00:09:33 |
Come on in, honey. You wanna meet |
| 00:09:42 |
- Ain't she back? |
| 00:09:44 |
She don't come soon, |
| 00:09:47 |
Your change, Mr Johnson. |
| 00:09:57 |
I don't see how you can stand still |
| 00:10:01 |
I know you'd prefer to dance with Alva, |
| 00:10:05 |
- What about Mr...? |
| 00:10:07 |
You can take Mr what's-his-name |
| 00:10:12 |
Show him the bathroom. We got an |
| 00:10:17 |
It isn't complicated once Alva and I show |
| 00:10:21 |
Then you come and join the party. Oh! |
| 00:10:25 |
- JJ, you scared the life out of me! |
| 00:10:30 |
He works in the shop |
| 00:10:35 |
- Are all these people railroad? |
| 00:10:40 |
He's the sheriff. Come on. |
| 00:10:44 |
- Hey, Max. |
| 00:10:51 |
This is Papa's room. He painted those. |
| 00:11:01 |
It's not the best in the house. |
| 00:11:04 |
I like it. |
| 00:11:08 |
Okey-doke? |
| 00:11:10 |
Okey-doke. |
| 00:11:12 |
Hey, Alva! Get your hot stuff out here! |
| 00:11:16 |
- Lindsay! Lindsay Tate! I'll be back. |
| 00:11:22 |
We want Alva! |
| 00:11:30 |
We want Alva! We want Alva! |
| 00:11:34 |
Get out of here! Get out of here, |
| 00:11:38 |
You just do that. Tell your mama |
| 00:11:46 |
- Why, you little snip! |
| 00:11:50 |
- Mama! |
| 00:11:52 |
Fire up the engines, boys! Let's go! |
| 00:11:55 |
You stay away from those older boys |
| 00:12:04 |
- Willie, where you going? |
| 00:12:07 |
- Stop it! |
| 00:12:09 |
- Hey, Willie. Sidney! |
| 00:12:13 |
Nothing that sticking his head |
| 00:12:20 |
Come on! |
| 00:12:25 |
Alva! What you doing in the kitchen? |
| 00:12:28 |
- We've been waiting for you. |
| 00:12:32 |
- How's the party? |
| 00:12:35 |
Alva, honey! Why don't you come over |
| 00:12:41 |
Hey, Mr Johnson! |
| 00:12:46 |
Hey, JJ. |
| 00:12:53 |
- Let me go, JJ. |
| 00:12:56 |
JJ! |
| 00:12:59 |
- All right, baby! |
| 00:13:04 |
Go to Mr Johnson. He's been |
| 00:13:08 |
He did pay for this party as a surprise. |
| 00:13:12 |
She wants to sit beside you |
| 00:13:15 |
- Hey, Alva, where y'all been? |
| 00:13:19 |
- A beer, Miss Alva? |
| 00:13:23 |
I told you before, lay off Alva. |
| 00:13:26 |
It was real nice of you |
| 00:13:30 |
Well, I didn't do it for her. |
| 00:13:35 |
She says it's OK for you to go with me |
| 00:13:40 |
- Well, let me think about it. |
| 00:13:44 |
A new one, Odel Otis, |
| 00:13:48 |
Well, I really don't know. Sidney! Hi! |
| 00:13:51 |
- I've got to know, so that... |
| 00:13:55 |
Thank Mr Johnson for the lovely party. |
| 00:14:00 |
- Who turned out the lights? |
| 00:14:04 |
Happy birthday to you |
| 00:14:08 |
- JJ! |
| 00:14:12 |
Happy birthday, dear Hazel |
| 00:14:17 |
Happy birthday to you |
| 00:14:28 |
- Make a wish! |
| 00:14:31 |
- I can't! |
| 00:14:33 |
You wish. You make a wish, Alva. |
| 00:14:39 |
Oh, Sal! Sally, it's my birthday! |
| 00:14:44 |
It's a damn shame, Haze. Have a beer. |
| 00:14:47 |
What slob remembered, anyway? |
| 00:14:49 |
- Come on, Alva, it's your turn! |
| 00:14:54 |
- Wish it up, Alva! |
| 00:15:10 |
- Hey, Alva, how about a birthday kiss? |
| 00:15:13 |
That's enough for you, Hank, boy! |
| 00:15:17 |
- Here's one to grow on! |
| 00:15:43 |
Wouldn't you like a piece of cake? |
| 00:15:47 |
- What kind of work will you do here? |
| 00:15:52 |
Oh, that's my sister Alva. |
| 00:15:54 |
She's the main attraction. |
| 00:15:58 |
You say you do or didn't work |
| 00:16:02 |
Well, I didn't say. Okey-doke? |
| 00:16:04 |
Okey-doke. |
| 00:16:07 |
It's hot out there! |
| 00:16:09 |
It's just practically like breathing fire. |
| 00:16:14 |
Oh! My, that's cooling! |
| 00:16:18 |
If not the railroad, what do you do? |
| 00:16:20 |
Willie! Let the gentleman |
| 00:16:24 |
Who's stopping him? |
| 00:16:27 |
- My name is Owen Legate, ma'am. |
| 00:16:32 |
Two R's in Starr. |
| 00:16:36 |
- He's from New Orleans. |
| 00:16:40 |
- I've been to New Orleans. |
| 00:16:43 |
- As a child. |
| 00:16:46 |
- Wonderful party, Alva. Much obliged. |
| 00:16:50 |
- Bye now. See you later. |
| 00:16:54 |
Thank you, Sidney. |
| 00:16:56 |
- Your mama said to fill up the beer tub. |
| 00:17:02 |
OK. |
| 00:17:05 |
- You're the new boarder, huh? |
| 00:17:08 |
You gonna be looking for work |
| 00:17:13 |
That's all right, I'm not looking. |
| 00:17:15 |
- We ain't got no work. |
| 00:17:19 |
- I want him to know there ain't none. |
| 00:17:25 |
See you later. |
| 00:17:28 |
If you're not looking for work, |
| 00:17:32 |
Now, I said stop asking questions |
| 00:17:36 |
OK. |
| 00:17:39 |
- Thank you. |
| 00:17:58 |
What are you doing here? |
| 00:18:04 |
Mama says what are you doing |
| 00:18:08 |
You tell your mama that after all |
| 00:18:13 |
I am resting and unavailable. |
| 00:18:17 |
Sidney took you dancing? Where to? |
| 00:18:22 |
Oh, no place much. |
| 00:18:24 |
- Just the Peabody Hotel. |
| 00:18:28 |
Sidney took you all the way |
| 00:18:32 |
- Did he buy you dinner? |
| 00:18:38 |
They have cocktails or highballs. |
| 00:18:42 |
Or French champagne, |
| 00:18:47 |
And when you drink it and start dancing, |
| 00:18:51 |
with its diamond-crystal chandeliers |
| 00:18:55 |
and the menus with tassels on them, |
| 00:18:59 |
like it'll all come down on you. |
| 00:19:02 |
But you have to hide it and so you say, |
| 00:19:08 |
"It is just your magnificent dancing |
| 00:19:12 |
Then he stops and holds your blushing, |
| 00:19:17 |
"Miss Starr, Miss Willie Starr, |
| 00:19:20 |
"surely you are the most beautiful |
| 00:19:25 |
That the same Peabody Hotel |
| 00:19:29 |
where they have the alligators and ducks |
| 00:19:33 |
Yes, the very same one. |
| 00:19:36 |
Yeah, I'd like to see that. |
| 00:19:44 |
I'd like to see how they stop the alligators |
| 00:19:48 |
in that little pond that they all swim in. |
| 00:19:51 |
Makes you think... doesn't it? |
| 00:19:55 |
Smart Alec! |
| 00:20:02 |
Hey, Alva. |
| 00:20:04 |
What you so grumpy about? |
| 00:20:07 |
Nothing. I just need some air. |
| 00:20:11 |
Hey, Max. |
| 00:20:12 |
Max! You taking me home? |
| 00:20:15 |
I can't. I got an early run tomorrow. |
| 00:20:31 |
My goodness, there isn't any breeze |
| 00:20:35 |
Just like Papa used to say, |
| 00:20:37 |
if the breeze does not come |
| 00:20:42 |
Hey, Alva... |
| 00:20:44 |
- Goodnight, Alva. |
| 00:20:47 |
Goodnight. |
| 00:21:01 |
Hey, Alva... |
| 00:21:11 |
That's the Hummingbird Express. |
| 00:21:20 |
It surely is a long train. |
| 00:21:23 |
What? |
| 00:21:25 |
It's a long train. And an empty one. |
| 00:21:30 |
You know, that train is going |
| 00:21:35 |
God, I'd like to get out of here |
| 00:21:42 |
Alva, maybe you could. |
| 00:21:48 |
I think more than any place |
| 00:21:52 |
Get out of this place, |
| 00:21:55 |
this sad old house. |
| 00:21:57 |
It's gonna fall apart anyway. |
| 00:22:00 |
And go to New Orleans. |
| 00:22:05 |
I just wish sometimes that old express |
| 00:22:10 |
right up here, right through the grass, |
| 00:22:13 |
and carry me off to points unknown. |
| 00:22:33 |
I'd better go on in now, Sidney. |
| 00:22:41 |
Are you all right? |
| 00:22:43 |
I'm all right. |
| 00:22:46 |
I just can't find a cool place. |
| 00:22:52 |
I'm going to bed. |
| 00:22:58 |
Willie... |
| 00:23:01 |
...how come you've put Mr Legate |
| 00:23:05 |
Mama told me to. |
| 00:23:09 |
Goodnight. |
| 00:23:12 |
Goodnight. |
| 00:23:53 |
Willie, you in there? |
| 00:23:56 |
Willie! |
| 00:23:59 |
- I don't think Willie's here. |
| 00:24:07 |
Nope. |
| 00:24:13 |
Well, goodnight. |
| 00:24:15 |
Goodnight. |
| 00:24:20 |
I've never been to the Peabody Hotel. |
| 00:24:27 |
- Neither have I. |
| 00:24:31 |
So I'm told, but no alligators. |
| 00:24:34 |
Certain times they do run the ducks |
| 00:24:38 |
I know that to be a fact. And the menus |
| 00:24:42 |
There was a man brought me one once. |
| 00:24:45 |
Besides, I felt like I was there |
| 00:24:49 |
Not exactly. |
| 00:24:52 |
Do you know there was a cat once |
| 00:24:57 |
and dreamt that he was a man |
| 00:25:01 |
When he woke up, he didn't know |
| 00:25:10 |
Goodness! I don't know how you'll sleep |
| 00:25:15 |
I'd better tell Mama to get |
| 00:25:20 |
Thank you. |
| 00:25:21 |
You know, |
| 00:25:25 |
you can just about think it's February |
| 00:25:31 |
When my Papa was here, |
| 00:25:35 |
we used to sit together |
| 00:25:39 |
I'd practically have to get out |
| 00:25:44 |
You wanna try? |
| 00:25:55 |
You got an extra pair? |
| 00:25:59 |
- And some flannel underwear? |
| 00:26:05 |
Well, that tells a lot about you, |
| 00:26:09 |
- I have a poetic nature, too. |
| 00:26:15 |
What else have you noticed about me, |
| 00:26:19 |
You don't have to answer. |
| 00:26:23 |
What else? You know, I am a very |
| 00:26:29 |
- Is that so? |
| 00:26:33 |
- I'm even famous in my own way. |
| 00:26:37 |
- Lots of men think I'm beautiful. |
| 00:26:40 |
...l've been travelling |
| 00:26:43 |
Gotta get up early tomorrow |
| 00:26:47 |
If you come with the room, and with |
| 00:26:52 |
- Let's not play around. |
| 00:26:58 |
What do you think you are? |
| 00:27:04 |
I hope you suffocate! |
| 00:27:11 |
Hey, Alva. Goodnight now. |
| 00:27:14 |
- What's the matter? |
| 00:27:24 |
Crazy doll's hair needs washing. |
| 00:27:30 |
Head might come unglued where she got |
| 00:27:36 |
I think most of her brains fell out. |
| 00:27:40 |
- Come on, Hazel. |
| 00:27:43 |
Go along to my room. I'll be right there. |
| 00:27:49 |
Mama, don't turn the light on. |
| 00:27:53 |
You been crying? |
| 00:27:58 |
You just go and take your dress off |
| 00:28:14 |
There. |
| 00:28:21 |
Now, you lay still. |
| 00:28:32 |
Mr Johnson speak to you |
| 00:28:37 |
Feel that evaporating? |
| 00:28:44 |
Were you nice to Mr Johnson, honey? |
| 00:28:48 |
Yes, Mama. |
| 00:28:49 |
I wouldn't like it if he got dissatisfied |
| 00:28:54 |
Nobody but a conductor can afford to pay |
| 00:29:00 |
I wanna go away, Mama. |
| 00:29:04 |
- Maybe to New Orleans. |
| 00:29:08 |
We all do, and we're going to. |
| 00:29:11 |
But not right now. |
| 00:29:14 |
You can't tell what those old fools'll do |
| 00:29:19 |
Maybe you'll get off with a Packard car! |
| 00:29:24 |
I'd just love to drive up in a Packard car |
| 00:29:28 |
I'd say, Miss Snotty, you were so damn |
| 00:29:33 |
What do you think about my little car? |
| 00:29:38 |
Plop! |
| 00:29:40 |
All those bags would just drop |
| 00:29:50 |
- You feeling better, honey? |
| 00:29:55 |
Well... sleep tight... |
| 00:29:59 |
...and don't let the bed bugs bite. |
| 00:30:06 |
Willie, you just stop playing possum |
| 00:30:10 |
I am asleep, Mama. |
| 00:30:15 |
Alva... |
| 00:30:20 |
...what does Mardi gras mean? |
| 00:30:26 |
Mardi gras means carnival. |
| 00:30:30 |
I'm gonna go next year, |
| 00:30:37 |
I'm gonna design my own costume... |
| 00:30:40 |
...out of black shiny sequins, |
| 00:30:43 |
so that my skin'll look white against it |
| 00:30:49 |
sparkle when I dance |
| 00:30:55 |
And I'll never know who they are. |
| 00:30:58 |
And they'll never know who I am. |
| 00:31:02 |
And I'll dance and dance and dance. |
| 00:31:11 |
When people die in New Orleans, |
| 00:31:18 |
Did you know that, Willie? |
| 00:31:24 |
Willie? |
| 00:31:51 |
- Hey! How are you? |
| 00:31:55 |
- Yes. |
| 00:31:58 |
- No. No, I can manage, thank you. |
| 00:32:02 |
- What about Vacation Bible School? |
| 00:32:07 |
Anyway, boy, have I got a hangover! |
| 00:32:11 |
You didn't see me last night, |
| 00:32:16 |
- You're headed for ruin, you know? |
| 00:32:20 |
Know what the Orientals say? |
| 00:32:23 |
"A man takes a drink, the drink takes |
| 00:32:28 |
Could be. Took my Papa all right, |
| 00:32:33 |
Maybe it'll do the same for me. |
| 00:32:38 |
- I gotta get some cigarettes. |
| 00:32:42 |
- Can I help you, sir? |
| 00:32:49 |
Miss Starr! Where's that sister |
| 00:32:52 |
- Get away from me. |
| 00:32:55 |
What'll she do with that hot stuff |
| 00:32:58 |
Alva's got better things to do |
| 00:33:02 |
Look what I got! Listen, Miss Uppity! |
| 00:33:05 |
Once that line shuts down, |
| 00:33:09 |
And I'll tell you, she'll have to crawl! |
| 00:33:12 |
You'll never get Alva |
| 00:33:15 |
You hear that, Tiny? |
| 00:33:21 |
- Who are you? |
| 00:33:23 |
You're drumming up trade for Alva now? |
| 00:33:26 |
Yeah, I guess that's what |
| 00:33:35 |
Go and wash up, boy. Your face is dirty. |
| 00:33:39 |
Just you wait, mister! I'll get you! |
| 00:33:47 |
Old Lindsay Tate just standing there! |
| 00:33:49 |
- I hear strawberry's good for hangovers. |
| 00:33:55 |
- You sure are tough. |
| 00:33:57 |
If you hadn't come out, |
| 00:34:01 |
- Not afraid of nothing, are you? |
| 00:34:05 |
What if everything was to change? |
| 00:34:08 |
I mean, say something happened |
| 00:34:13 |
- Dodson ain't never gonna change. |
| 00:34:17 |
How did you know strawberry |
| 00:34:20 |
You look like a strawberry girl to me. |
| 00:34:22 |
What do you think of my sister Alva? |
| 00:34:26 |
I suspect your sister's |
| 00:34:30 |
She don't think much of you, neither. |
| 00:34:35 |
See you later. I gotta work. |
| 00:34:38 |
Oh, OK... Hey! |
| 00:34:41 |
- Thanks for the ice-cream cone. |
| 00:34:49 |
Step on a crack, |
| 00:34:52 |
Step on a crack, |
| 00:35:49 |
- Mr Knopke? |
| 00:35:53 |
- My name is Legate. |
| 00:36:00 |
Sit down. |
| 00:36:02 |
Hey, JJ, what do you think? |
| 00:36:06 |
Well... |
| 00:36:09 |
...I just don't know. |
| 00:36:12 |
Come on, pump that thing. |
| 00:36:17 |
We always done what was asked. You |
| 00:36:22 |
To the bale, here's what we were |
| 00:36:27 |
- This is what's going through here now. |
| 00:36:32 |
Who'll pick them, Mr Knopke? You? |
| 00:36:38 |
- How many trains they taking off? |
| 00:36:42 |
- How many men? |
| 00:36:46 |
I'm gonna want a list of the names, |
| 00:36:52 |
and I'd like to know who's married |
| 00:37:00 |
You won't be popular |
| 00:37:03 |
I know. |
| 00:37:07 |
I've been not very popular before. |
| 00:37:16 |
Southern Pacific, CB & O, C & E... |
| 00:37:41 |
- Hey! |
| 00:37:45 |
- Where are you going? |
| 00:37:53 |
Willie! |
| 00:38:02 |
He made it himself. |
| 00:38:08 |
- You skipped Vacation Bible School. |
| 00:38:12 |
Strawberry? |
| 00:38:17 |
Did he... make any mention of me? |
| 00:38:21 |
No, not much. |
| 00:38:24 |
Nothing? |
| 00:38:26 |
Well, not after I told him |
| 00:38:30 |
- Willie, you didn't! |
| 00:38:33 |
I don't care! |
| 00:38:36 |
OK, OK. You stuck on him, Alva? |
| 00:38:40 |
No. |
| 00:38:41 |
Well, I don't think you should be. |
| 00:38:46 |
Why? What did he say about me? |
| 00:38:50 |
He said he suspects |
| 00:38:55 |
- He did? |
| 00:38:59 |
Well, it could be. |
| 00:39:05 |
Alva, how many times have you done it? |
| 00:39:10 |
Willie Starr! |
| 00:39:13 |
Five? Ten maybe? |
| 00:39:17 |
- Whoever said I done it at all? |
| 00:39:22 |
- Well, I never did it with Lindsay Tate! |
| 00:39:30 |
Afterward, do they love you? |
| 00:39:37 |
I guess they're supposed to. |
| 00:39:42 |
Does it look like Lindsay Tate loves me, |
| 00:39:46 |
No. |
| 00:39:51 |
- I bet you Owen Legate... |
| 00:39:55 |
Actually, Mr Owen Legate |
| 00:39:59 |
Just a nothing dream |
| 00:40:02 |
- You gonna get married? |
| 00:40:09 |
- To Mr Johnson? |
| 00:40:13 |
Willie, I haven't met him yet. |
| 00:40:16 |
When I do, he'll say to me: |
| 00:40:19 |
"Miss Starr, Miss Alva Starr, |
| 00:40:23 |
"and build a house lined in white satin |
| 00:40:28 |
You didn't have to make up |
| 00:40:33 |
It's force of habit, Willie. |
| 00:40:41 |
Well, I gotta finish making up the beds. |
| 00:40:51 |
Willie's got a crush on you. |
| 00:40:53 |
- Must be the strawberry ice cream. |
| 00:40:59 |
I know. |
| 00:41:05 |
Excuse me. I've got a million things to do. |
| 00:41:08 |
Miss Starr... |
| 00:41:11 |
...I thought the paperweight |
| 00:41:21 |
It's Papa's room. |
| 00:41:35 |
She in her room? |
| 00:41:37 |
I'll take a look if you want me to, |
| 00:41:41 |
And would you be kind enough |
| 00:41:45 |
Sure, Mr Johnson. |
| 00:41:47 |
- Tell her I'm waiting here. |
| 00:41:50 |
- You'll look so pretty. Which ring? |
| 00:41:54 |
- Of course you are! |
| 00:41:57 |
- Let's see what this is. |
| 00:42:01 |
It's exciting. |
| 00:42:03 |
I told you Mr Johnson would come |
| 00:42:09 |
That's not what I meant, or what I want. |
| 00:42:11 |
Willie, run and tell him your sister's |
| 00:42:17 |
I am not! Willie, please! |
| 00:42:19 |
I know you want other things, |
| 00:42:24 |
Enriching travel... And your mama's |
| 00:42:30 |
- Please don't make me go! |
| 00:42:36 |
Think of the people you'll meet, the men. |
| 00:42:39 |
Right now, we gotta think of the practical |
| 00:42:46 |
Gotta make use of the things at hand. |
| 00:42:49 |
And one of the things at hand |
| 00:42:55 |
All I'm asking is a little bit of niceness |
| 00:43:00 |
- But, Mama...! |
| 00:43:14 |
- Can your sister still be getting dressed? |
| 00:43:20 |
You'd better go upstairs |
| 00:43:24 |
I just came down |
| 00:43:31 |
Let me by, JJ. |
| 00:43:45 |
- Here I am! |
| 00:43:48 |
- You look just fine. |
| 00:43:52 |
That light attracts all kind of things. |
| 00:43:56 |
I haven't finished my hair. |
| 00:43:59 |
I just pile it up |
| 00:44:03 |
- Willie, why not sing for Mr Johnson? |
| 00:44:06 |
Besides, I wanna go catch some fireflies. |
| 00:44:13 |
- Alva, did you like the bracelet? |
| 00:44:17 |
It's too lovely for you to give to me. |
| 00:44:20 |
- Did you get it in New Orleans? |
| 00:44:24 |
A gift of gold is a gift of seriousness. |
| 00:44:27 |
A gift of gold is for your wife, |
| 00:44:30 |
Perhaps I should explain about my wife. |
| 00:44:35 |
I see her maybe once in a month. She's |
| 00:44:41 |
Mr Johnson, I'd love a Coke with |
| 00:44:45 |
Yeah, sure, Alva, sure. |
| 00:44:51 |
What did you put in the mailbox? |
| 00:44:54 |
- Or is it none of my business? |
| 00:45:00 |
Hey... did you ever see a scarecrow |
| 00:45:06 |
- No. |
| 00:45:08 |
I travel a lot, too. |
| 00:45:22 |
- You didn't lie. |
| 00:45:28 |
What is it? |
| 00:45:31 |
I don't know. I just... Sometimes |
| 00:45:38 |
Maybe when God breathed life into all |
| 00:45:42 |
Or maybe it's running around in the night |
| 00:45:46 |
Oh, the ground is warm. Don't you know |
| 00:45:51 |
It burns for all eternity. |
| 00:45:54 |
And up there it's so cold |
| 00:46:01 |
Look! There's a falling star! |
| 00:46:22 |
- Aren't you gonna ask what I wished? |
| 00:46:26 |
Did you make a wish? |
| 00:46:29 |
No. |
| 00:46:32 |
Bye-bye to a rare chance. |
| 00:46:37 |
My papa made him. This used to be |
| 00:46:44 |
- What... what did he do? Just leave? |
| 00:46:49 |
Mama says it's a laugh, unless they give |
| 00:46:53 |
You ever hear from him? |
| 00:46:56 |
No. He's coming back, though. |
| 00:47:01 |
'Cause if he loves us, |
| 00:47:04 |
Supposing he doesn't? |
| 00:47:07 |
He will. He could be on any train, |
| 00:47:13 |
Is that what you're waiting for, Alva? |
| 00:47:18 |
Alva. |
| 00:47:21 |
Owen, do you know that's the first time |
| 00:47:32 |
- Here's your Coke! |
| 00:47:35 |
- Alva! |
| 00:47:37 |
Your ice is melting! |
| 00:47:40 |
Alva, where are you? |
| 00:47:45 |
- Why not tell him to leave you alone? |
| 00:47:50 |
- He's a kind man. |
| 00:47:52 |
We'll be late. |
| 00:47:54 |
He's a very lonely old man whose wife |
| 00:47:59 |
- It wouldn't be grateful. |
| 00:48:01 |
Where are you? |
| 00:48:04 |
You are in a cruel, teasing mood |
| 00:48:08 |
I'm talking about thanks and niceness, |
| 00:48:12 |
Common politeness? |
| 00:48:14 |
That old man, as you call him, happens |
| 00:48:19 |
Tonight, he gave me a solid gold bracelet |
| 00:48:24 |
What did you give |
| 00:48:27 |
My company and my kindness! |
| 00:48:32 |
- It makes him very happy. |
| 00:48:37 |
People thinking I'm beautiful |
| 00:48:41 |
If you really thought you were beautiful, |
| 00:48:45 |
I am my own girl, Mr Legate. |
| 00:48:48 |
I don't need some smart Alec |
| 00:48:52 |
I go out with him because I want to |
| 00:48:56 |
- Because your mama tells you to. |
| 00:48:58 |
I'm not a cat dreaming I'm a man. |
| 00:49:03 |
Then why are you hiding |
| 00:49:08 |
Alva, where are you? |
| 00:49:15 |
There you are. I thought you'd gone on |
| 00:49:21 |
Thank you, Mr Johnson, and thank you |
| 00:49:25 |
- You're gonna keep it? |
| 00:49:29 |
Where are your shoes? What time |
| 00:49:33 |
- They've held the table since seven. |
| 00:49:36 |
They've held your table since seven. |
| 00:49:39 |
You two'll have a high old time. |
| 00:49:42 |
All right, Mama. |
| 00:49:46 |
I'm not getting dressed and going |
| 00:49:50 |
I'm getting undressed and going to the |
| 00:49:54 |
- Yeah! |
| 00:49:58 |
No, thank you. |
| 00:50:00 |
What's the matter? |
| 00:50:04 |
Owen! I've been waiting to tell you. |
| 00:50:07 |
- Alva didn't call you no smart Alec. |
| 00:50:11 |
- Alva's going... Let's all go! |
| 00:50:14 |
It's a good idea, though, ain't it, |
| 00:50:33 |
Last one in is a skinny old maid! |
| 00:50:38 |
Come on, Alva! |
| 00:50:41 |
Take your clothes off, Mr Johnson. |
| 00:50:46 |
Can't swim. |
| 00:51:10 |
Wish me a rainbow |
| 00:51:17 |
Why aren't you with the rest of them? |
| 00:51:20 |
I'm right where I wanna be. |
| 00:51:24 |
Well, let me go. |
| 00:51:29 |
- I know what you want. I know you. |
| 00:51:35 |
Go ahead. |
| 00:51:49 |
What's the matter with you? |
| 00:51:54 |
- What are you talking about? |
| 00:51:58 |
- I don't believe you. |
| 00:52:03 |
- Are you saving it all up for him? |
| 00:52:06 |
Why don't you ask him? |
| 00:52:18 |
- Willie isn't here. |
| 00:52:22 |
What you put in the mailbox |
| 00:52:26 |
Come on in. |
| 00:52:27 |
You come here lying, flying false colours, |
| 00:52:32 |
- What is it you think you know? |
| 00:52:37 |
- That I'm laying men off? |
| 00:52:40 |
- There's a depression. |
| 00:52:42 |
- The railroad's cutting back. |
| 00:52:46 |
- I don't whip myself. It's not my idea. |
| 00:52:50 |
What do you care about lay-offs? Isn't |
| 00:52:55 |
There are others concerned. |
| 00:52:58 |
- Your mama can take care of herself. |
| 00:53:02 |
- You must've wanted to tell me off bad. |
| 00:53:07 |
- Anxious to get back now, aren't you? |
| 00:53:11 |
And I'm going! I meant every word I said! |
| 00:53:14 |
- False colours? Tricking you? |
| 00:53:16 |
- Liar? |
| 00:53:20 |
Liar! |
| 00:53:59 |
You get yours, Sid? |
| 00:54:02 |
Yeah. |
| 00:54:04 |
Me, too. |
| 00:54:07 |
Any idea what |
| 00:54:13 |
I'll sleep late in the morning. |
| 00:54:17 |
Sidney? Sidney! |
| 00:54:57 |
You like your job, mister? |
| 00:55:05 |
There's a man with a trucking line |
| 00:55:09 |
Anybody that's interested, I could talk |
| 00:55:13 |
And in answer to your question, |
| 00:55:38 |
Being a fink is thirsty work. |
| 00:55:48 |
How much, operator? |
| 00:55:51 |
And I thought he was so swell. |
| 00:55:59 |
I don't know, Willie. |
| 00:56:04 |
I just don't know. |
| 00:56:14 |
- This the last of it? |
| 00:56:18 |
Not with you. |
| 00:56:22 |
All right. We'll finish this this afternoon. |
| 00:57:00 |
- Y'all having lunch? |
| 00:57:04 |
Fresh air. |
| 00:57:09 |
- You oughtn't to be here. |
| 00:57:20 |
- I don't think those men will like... |
| 00:57:31 |
Hey! |
| 00:57:38 |
- Ooh! They call this fainting weather. |
| 00:57:42 |
When it's heavy and close like this, |
| 00:57:47 |
You leaving tomorrow? |
| 00:57:51 |
Why did you come down here today? |
| 00:57:55 |
I don't know. I just wanted to see you. |
| 00:57:59 |
- And besides... |
| 00:58:01 |
...l've something to show you. |
| 00:58:03 |
I mean, something special. Just ahead. |
| 00:58:08 |
- What time are you leaving tomorrow? |
| 00:58:13 |
To New Orleans? |
| 00:58:15 |
That's right. |
| 00:58:18 |
Hey... is it really true they bury people |
| 00:58:27 |
If they didn't, the graves would flood. |
| 00:58:30 |
I suppose the worst part of being buried |
| 00:58:37 |
I don't suppose you ever had that |
| 00:58:44 |
- No. |
| 00:58:46 |
You've never been stuck any place. |
| 00:58:55 |
Come on! |
| 00:59:04 |
See that star |
| 00:59:08 |
- That's my papa's signature. |
| 00:59:14 |
- Did he paint all of these cars like this? |
| 00:59:17 |
He used to dream pretty big, |
| 00:59:22 |
He never kept them, except once. |
| 00:59:28 |
Come on. |
| 00:59:31 |
Come on! |
| 00:59:49 |
All for me. |
| 00:59:51 |
With a gift card, even, saying: |
| 00:59:54 |
"Hail, my heart's delight, and farewell." |
| 01:00:00 |
Sit down. The train'll be leaving soon. |
| 01:00:07 |
The porter must have known |
| 01:00:10 |
and dusted our seats with talcum, |
| 01:00:18 |
Do you feel bad? About the men, I mean. |
| 01:00:23 |
No. |
| 01:00:26 |
- Don't you? |
| 01:00:32 |
I do this in every city that I go into. |
| 01:00:36 |
But you do feel bad. |
| 01:00:45 |
You have to smile on the Honeydew |
| 01:00:49 |
Oh! Excuse me. |
| 01:00:51 |
I think they ought to have some system |
| 01:01:00 |
What are you looking at? |
| 01:01:08 |
- You don't have to pretend... |
| 01:01:12 |
It's perfectly white. Just as white |
| 01:01:20 |
Listen to the wind. |
| 01:01:24 |
It scares me. |
| 01:01:29 |
My papa gave me those. |
| 01:01:34 |
Alva, listen... |
| 01:01:36 |
- When a train goes, know what it says? |
| 01:01:42 |
You are staring straight into my eyes, |
| 01:01:47 |
I leave tomorrow, Alva. |
| 01:01:51 |
"Bromo-seltzer, bromo-seltzer..." |
| 01:01:54 |
Listen... |
| 01:01:55 |
Nights at Starr's have little to do |
| 01:02:00 |
- Stop it! |
| 01:02:02 |
Do you know, if you pinch your elbow |
| 01:02:06 |
Alva, do you understand |
| 01:02:10 |
Yes, I know. You're leaving. |
| 01:02:18 |
Alva, the sky is not white, it's blue. |
| 01:02:21 |
If you pinch your elbow hard enough, |
| 01:02:26 |
This is not lilac talcum on these seats, |
| 01:02:31 |
There is no wind in this car. |
| 01:02:36 |
Because this car |
| 01:02:39 |
- I don't care. |
| 01:02:42 |
Why are you so fanciful? Why do you |
| 01:02:47 |
Because it is. |
| 01:02:49 |
No. |
| 01:02:52 |
Well, lots is. You are, what you do... |
| 01:02:55 |
No. No, I'm not. |
| 01:02:58 |
My job, it's not always lay-offs, |
| 01:03:01 |
but it's somehow always the same. |
| 01:03:06 |
- But you travel. |
| 01:03:10 |
But you live in New Orleans, |
| 01:03:14 |
That's your dream. It's not mine. |
| 01:03:19 |
Then, what is yours? |
| 01:03:22 |
I have no dream. |
| 01:03:26 |
How terrible for you. |
| 01:03:31 |
Maybe. |
| 01:03:33 |
Are you cold? |
| 01:03:36 |
No. |
| 01:03:39 |
No, it's... like the snowstorm. |
| 01:03:45 |
What? |
| 01:03:46 |
You know, in the glass ball. |
| 01:03:51 |
- Well, isn't it almost? It is. |
| 01:03:58 |
I don't wanna think about you leaving. |
| 01:04:01 |
- But I am. It is true. |
| 01:04:05 |
- But you... |
| 01:04:07 |
Let's pretend, just for tonight, |
| 01:04:20 |
- Cry-baby. |
| 01:04:24 |
You know, sometimes when I see |
| 01:04:29 |
just hoping it'll all come out better |
| 01:04:32 |
No use. No matter how many times |
| 01:04:36 |
Wouldn't it be wonderful if she didn't? |
| 01:04:39 |
What if you went to see it again |
| 01:04:43 |
I mean, like if his folks did like her |
| 01:04:48 |
Yeah, but think how unhappy you'd be, |
| 01:05:02 |
When you get back to New Orleans, |
| 01:05:06 |
Open your mouth. |
| 01:05:10 |
How long? |
| 01:05:15 |
Until they send me out again. |
| 01:05:23 |
- I don't think... |
| 01:05:26 |
- Well, I just... |
| 01:05:33 |
JJ! |
| 01:05:35 |
What are you doing? |
| 01:05:52 |
- Stop pulling my hair out! |
| 01:05:56 |
- Stop it! You're gonna kill him! |
| 01:06:01 |
Quit it! |
| 01:06:06 |
I said, quit it! You hear me? |
| 01:06:09 |
- Stop it! |
| 01:06:12 |
- Stop it! |
| 01:06:16 |
You bastards! |
| 01:06:26 |
No! I'm fine. |
| 01:06:34 |
No. |
| 01:06:38 |
- No! |
| 01:06:41 |
Let me... |
| 01:07:05 |
- Damn! |
| 01:07:12 |
Don't go. |
| 01:07:20 |
Do you know how far it is |
| 01:07:24 |
It's 247 railroad miles. |
| 01:07:28 |
That doesn't sound too far, does it? |
| 01:07:33 |
Hop and a skip. |
| 01:07:36 |
And a jump over mama. |
| 01:07:39 |
Mama? |
| 01:07:42 |
I could go. |
| 01:07:45 |
I could go. |
| 01:07:52 |
Still you're here in Dodson. |
| 01:07:58 |
If you don't believe me, |
| 01:08:07 |
You're staring again. |
| 01:08:11 |
I... |
| 01:08:15 |
What? |
| 01:08:17 |
What? |
| 01:08:20 |
What? |
| 01:08:23 |
Tell me. |
| 01:08:29 |
Tell me. |
| 01:08:34 |
Tell me. |
| 01:08:37 |
Tell me. |
| 01:08:56 |
Alva, you in there? |
| 01:09:07 |
My God! You didn't even have sense |
| 01:09:13 |
- Where is he? |
| 01:09:16 |
Thank God. |
| 01:09:18 |
He's coming back. To say goodbye. |
| 01:09:22 |
- Where are you going? |
| 01:09:25 |
I don't think it's got through to you yet |
| 01:09:30 |
I had a long, serious, satisfying |
| 01:09:35 |
- We are leaving. |
| 01:09:39 |
You, Willie and me! |
| 01:09:42 |
We're going to Memphis |
| 01:09:47 |
I am in no mood for worries. |
| 01:09:52 |
We're setting up in Memphis on |
| 01:09:56 |
You are going and that is final! |
| 01:10:01 |
I am not going! |
| 01:10:04 |
Alva! Now, you listen to me! |
| 01:10:07 |
You been living like a damn princess |
| 01:10:10 |
Did nothing while I took care |
| 01:10:13 |
The boat has docked |
| 01:10:16 |
that you're not just the spoiled, lazy, |
| 01:10:21 |
Mama, you can talk and talk, |
| 01:10:26 |
You don't seem to understand me. |
| 01:10:33 |
If we have to stand on our heads |
| 01:10:37 |
- Is that clear? |
| 01:10:41 |
If there's one thing I loathe, it's that |
| 01:10:47 |
I'm not going! |
| 01:11:03 |
And just what the hell |
| 01:11:07 |
I don't know. |
| 01:11:10 |
- Not that old stuff again. |
| 01:11:12 |
Alva, I am sick to death |
| 01:11:16 |
Let's face facts. For years, I've watched |
| 01:11:21 |
- Mama, please! |
| 01:11:24 |
Now, when I ask you to do me |
| 01:11:28 |
- Tiny! What are you saying? |
| 01:11:34 |
Your papa saw where you were headed. |
| 01:11:39 |
- He knew you were selfish and vicious! |
| 01:11:43 |
He used to say, "She'll turn on you, |
| 01:11:47 |
"You just wait and see, Hazel. |
| 01:11:52 |
- He never said that! He never said that! |
| 01:11:57 |
What about Willie? If you don't care |
| 01:12:02 |
- God, Mama! |
| 01:12:07 |
I am asking you to give him a few short, |
| 01:12:11 |
till I get the house in Memphis straight |
| 01:12:15 |
Nobody's gonna know. |
| 01:12:19 |
I am begging you! |
| 01:12:22 |
Get up, please! Please! Just get up! |
| 01:12:25 |
Oh, honey, you're not gonna regret it. |
| 01:12:45 |
Hey, Owen! Wait a minute! |
| 01:12:52 |
- Hi, old Willie. What is it? |
| 01:12:55 |
Yeah, as soon as I pick up |
| 01:13:02 |
Bye. |
| 01:13:06 |
Goodbye. |
| 01:13:10 |
You won't worry about me, will you? |
| 01:13:15 |
- Some, maybe. |
| 01:13:18 |
- Okey-doke. |
| 01:13:21 |
Bye. |
| 01:13:36 |
Mr Legate. |
| 01:13:38 |
One way, New Orleans. |
| 01:13:46 |
Why get a ticket? You got your pass. |
| 01:13:49 |
That's right. |
| 01:13:53 |
Sure I do, Sal, |
| 01:13:56 |
sure I feel bad about it. |
| 01:14:00 |
You know, Sally, they can lay off |
| 01:14:05 |
including the sheriff. |
| 01:14:07 |
I swear, I'll never again set foot in a town |
| 01:14:13 |
I got the feeling that I and Memphis |
| 01:14:24 |
Sure Alva's going to Memphis. |
| 01:14:29 |
Well, of course I'm happy. |
| 01:14:36 |
I think we'll all have ourselves a ball. |
| 01:14:39 |
Thanks, Sal. I knew you would. See you! |
| 01:14:46 |
Morning. |
| 01:15:11 |
- You really are a liar. |
| 01:15:14 |
- No. No damn games! |
| 01:15:17 |
- You really like to play with it! |
| 01:15:19 |
- What's happened? |
| 01:15:23 |
- Telling dreams. It's how you make love. |
| 01:15:27 |
It's what makes Alva different |
| 01:15:31 |
- Don't... don't say what can't be fixed. |
| 01:15:35 |
How much does a ticket |
| 01:15:46 |
Turn it in for one to Memphis. |
| 01:15:49 |
You wonder about other things, other |
| 01:15:53 |
but you go on doing what you do. |
| 01:15:55 |
That railroad carriage is enough for you. |
| 01:16:02 |
But it's enough for you |
| 01:16:06 |
You're not unique. You're not |
| 01:16:16 |
What in hell did I think |
| 01:16:23 |
...about a little whore |
| 01:16:39 |
How about a big hand for Odel Otis |
| 01:16:43 |
playing for your dancing enjoyment |
| 01:16:48 |
I used to wonder if I was annoying you |
| 01:16:52 |
Oh, God, no! I love to go out. |
| 01:16:55 |
Alva, your mama said I'd see a lot of you |
| 01:17:01 |
Why should I mind, Mr Johnson? |
| 01:17:05 |
Well, you know I'm married, Alva, |
| 01:17:10 |
It makes me feel good to have someone |
| 01:17:14 |
- Oh, I know it. |
| 01:17:18 |
I could get you a place of your own |
| 01:17:21 |
an allowance, so you'd only have to do |
| 01:17:25 |
Lawdy, Miss Glawdy! |
| 01:17:30 |
- Is that hard liquor you're drinking, Alva? |
| 01:17:35 |
- Just about as hard as your heart. |
| 01:17:39 |
Yeah. Sit down. We'll have a toast |
| 01:17:43 |
- Alva, you are loaded. |
| 01:17:47 |
Y'all fill your glasses, hear? |
| 01:17:51 |
Now, the occasion of this toast |
| 01:17:59 |
I'll drink to that! |
| 01:18:03 |
- Isn't that funny, Mama? |
| 01:18:06 |
I was just thinking maybe I wouldn't get |
| 01:18:13 |
'Cause Mr Johnson here, has just |
| 01:18:19 |
Well, it's not exactly a proposal, is it, |
| 01:18:23 |
'Cause he's gonna take care of me. |
| 01:18:28 |
- Isn't that nice, Mama? |
| 01:18:34 |
- Mr Johnson, shame on you! |
| 01:18:38 |
Scared if I get away there'll be no more |
| 01:18:43 |
- I don't think we wanna talk about that. |
| 01:18:48 |
You gonna stick around with her |
| 01:18:52 |
She's drunk. Our little arrangement |
| 01:18:58 |
She'd tell you if she wasn't drunk. Wait! |
| 01:19:00 |
- I'll dance with you, JJ. |
| 01:19:03 |
Wanna dance with me? |
| 01:19:08 |
Who would you rather have? |
| 01:19:15 |
- You been feeding her too much booze. |
| 01:19:21 |
Now, you just cut that out! |
| 01:19:30 |
He was gonna take me away with him. |
| 01:19:33 |
Oh, Mama, I don't know |
| 01:19:38 |
I'll take care of you, Alva. |
| 01:19:41 |
Oh, shut up! |
| 01:19:44 |
Mama knows you want me, Mr Johnson, |
| 01:19:50 |
Do you still want me, JJ? Do you? |
| 01:19:53 |
What about that fellow Owen? |
| 01:19:57 |
- He's gone, ain't he, Mama? |
| 01:20:00 |
He's just gone! He went away. |
| 01:20:06 |
What do you want? |
| 01:20:09 |
I wanna go away. |
| 01:20:13 |
- I'll take you. |
| 01:20:16 |
- You mean it? |
| 01:20:20 |
- But, Alva... |
| 01:20:26 |
You gotta marry me, JJ. |
| 01:20:32 |
- I'll marry you. |
| 01:20:35 |
You shut up. |
| 01:20:38 |
- I'll marry you, Alva. |
| 01:20:45 |
I mean tonight, right now! |
| 01:20:48 |
Sure, Alva, I'll marry you. |
| 01:30:02 |
You have that habit... of staring. |
| 01:30:28 |
I'm sorry. |
| 01:30:36 |
I missed you, Alva. I didn't know I would. |
| 01:30:40 |
New Orleans is not a place |
| 01:30:42 |
where a person needs to feel |
| 01:30:47 |
You, Miss Starr, were a missed person. |
| 01:30:54 |
I was? |
| 01:30:58 |
Deeply missed. |
| 01:31:07 |
And you'll stay... |
| 01:31:10 |
...and you'll stay... |
| 01:31:16 |
...because of all you give me. |
| 01:31:19 |
Do I? |
| 01:31:22 |
Thoughts I never had. |
| 01:31:26 |
And things... |
| 01:31:30 |
...such things. |
| 01:31:50 |
What are you gonna do all day? |
| 01:31:52 |
Wait for you to come home. |
| 01:31:57 |
Owen. |
| 01:33:59 |
I'll have supper ready in just a second. |
| 01:34:14 |
- They're golden! |
| 01:34:22 |
By the way, my section chief Macferson |
| 01:34:26 |
What? Even though I'm not interested. |
| 01:34:31 |
He said that there was a job opening |
| 01:34:36 |
Too bad we don't know any. |
| 01:34:40 |
No, no. It's a stay-put job. |
| 01:34:44 |
- Chicago. |
| 01:34:49 |
- Well, they call it a feeler. |
| 01:34:53 |
Well, I said I'd have to ask my wife. |
| 01:35:06 |
What's the matter? |
| 01:35:17 |
I am asking my wife. |
| 01:35:33 |
I thought I saw Willie today. |
| 01:35:40 |
- Where? |
| 01:35:43 |
Just a flash. Dumb hair all over her face. |
| 01:35:50 |
It was crazy... |
| 01:35:56 |
- Where do you think Willie is? Dodson? |
| 01:36:01 |
- Wherever Mama is. |
| 01:36:06 |
I can write to Knopke. He's still on. |
| 01:36:13 |
We can send for Willie. |
| 01:36:17 |
We could take her with us to Chicago. |
| 01:36:24 |
Oh, dear! |
| 01:36:31 |
I'd love to see Willie take Chicago. |
| 01:38:06 |
- For a girl who's afraid of the thunder... |
| 01:38:40 |
Come on in, honey. |
| 01:38:43 |
- Mama! |
| 01:38:47 |
You are soaked to the bone. I hope you |
| 01:38:52 |
You never did know when to lock up. |
| 01:38:57 |
Take off that wet coat. |
| 01:39:01 |
- How did you find us? |
| 01:39:06 |
You look cold, too. I made some coffee. |
| 01:39:17 |
- Please don't tell him! |
| 01:39:20 |
- I don't know what he'll do if you tell him. |
| 01:39:24 |
- Please! |
| 01:39:26 |
Mama, I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! |
| 01:39:29 |
- Believe me I am! |
| 01:39:35 |
Mama, if you tell Owen, |
| 01:39:40 |
You haven't even asked me how |
| 01:39:44 |
He wants to marry me. |
| 01:39:50 |
This coffee's getting cold. |
| 01:39:53 |
In we go. |
| 01:40:00 |
Nice little place here, honey. |
| 01:40:06 |
- Did you come here to pour coffee? |
| 01:40:13 |
- That's right. |
| 01:40:17 |
- It's between Alva and me. |
| 01:40:19 |
I had an idea you weren't a man |
| 01:40:24 |
You got it right. |
| 01:40:27 |
- How's the coffee? |
| 01:40:30 |
...just fine. |
| 01:40:33 |
You drink it up and put your coat on. |
| 01:40:38 |
- What? |
| 01:40:41 |
Mr Johnson finally turned sour. I've got |
| 01:40:46 |
She's not going anywhere. |
| 01:40:50 |
- Oh, no? |
| 01:40:56 |
You have nothing to say about it. |
| 01:41:01 |
- Get out! |
| 01:41:04 |
That little girl's all wrapped up. |
| 01:41:09 |
The next morning, she went through |
| 01:41:16 |
You never quite give up, do you? |
| 01:41:18 |
Tell him, Alva! |
| 01:41:28 |
- Oh, my God... |
| 01:41:34 |
Oh, my God! |
| 01:41:36 |
Alva! Alva! |
| 01:42:21 |
Mama ran off with a man named Sam |
| 01:42:29 |
Papa, he never did come back. |
| 01:42:33 |
You know where Alva is now? |
| 01:42:36 |
- New Orleans? |
| 01:42:39 |
- Chicago? |
| 01:42:42 |
- Memphis? |
| 01:42:46 |
Where is she, then? |
| 01:42:49 |
- She's in the bone orchard. |
| 01:42:52 |
Bone orchard, cemetery, graveyard! |
| 01:42:57 |
- That's pretty tough. |
| 01:43:05 |
Her lungs got affected. Did you see that |
| 01:43:15 |
Which is what Alva died of. |
| 01:43:19 |
Only, the way she had it in the movie, |
| 01:43:24 |
You know, violins playing, all her lovers |
| 01:43:33 |
Wish me a rainbow |
| 01:43:37 |
Wish me a star |
| 01:43:42 |
I'm going back now. |
| 01:43:47 |
I'm gonna live for a long, long time, |
| 01:43:50 |
like my sister. |
| 01:43:53 |
When my lungs get affected, |
| 01:43:59 |
with all my rings and my gold |
| 01:44:04 |
And then, I guess, somebody else'll |
| 01:44:09 |
The sky sure is white. |
| 01:44:13 |
- Well, so long. |
| 01:44:17 |
Wish me a rainbow and wish me a star |
| 01:44:23 |
All this you can give me |
| 01:44:29 |
And dreams for my pillow |
| 01:44:35 |
And a masquerade ball |
| 01:44:41 |
Wish me red roses |
| 01:44:44 |
And yellow balloons |
| 01:44:47 |
Black sequins whirling |
| 01:44:50 |
To gay dancing tunes |
| 01:44:53 |
I want all these treasures |
| 01:44:56 |
The most you can give |
| 01:44:59 |
So wish me a rainbow |
| 01:45:02 |
As long as I live |
