1
00:00:05,411 --> 00:00:08,353
Robert F. Kennedy Junior High had a long...

2
00:00:08,353 --> 00:00:11,315
Proud theatrical tradition.

3
00:00:11,315 --> 00:00:16,317
Who could forget Scotty Gruenwald's 
tortured John Proctor in "The Crucible"?

4
00:00:16,317 --> 00:00:21,736
Or Tony Faranucci's towering Tevya in "Fiddler on the Roof"?

5
00:00:21,736 --> 00:00:24,713
Sure, it wasn't Broadway. But for many of us...

6
00:00:24,713 --> 00:00:30,430
The excitement brought out one undeniable feeling.

7
00:00:30,430 --> 00:00:33,201
Total apathy.

8
00:00:36,158 --> 00:00:40,469
Students, if I may - a moment of your time!

9
00:00:42,420 --> 00:00:43,983
Stu-dents!

10
00:00:43,983 --> 00:00:44,912
Who's that?

11
00:00:44,912 --> 00:00:49,172
That's Mr. Weber - the new dramatics teacher.

12
00:00:49,172 --> 00:00:50,660
Geek.

13
00:00:50,660 --> 00:00:52,313
Definite geek.

14
00:00:52,313 --> 00:00:59,097
He's not a geek! 
He's just...dramatic.

15
00:00:59,097 --> 00:01:01,781
The fall play this year...

16
00:01:01,781 --> 00:01:05,118
will be Thornton Wilder's "Our Town".

17
00:01:05,118 --> 00:01:08,489
Auditions...
Will take place this afternoon.

18
00:01:08,489 --> 00:01:11,361
I invite all of you to come, be a part of this...

19
00:01:11,361 --> 00:01:17,811
haunting tapestry...of memory, and dreams.

20
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,658
At the buzzer - he shoots!

21
00:01:25,658 --> 00:01:27,098
Ya think I should do it?

22
00:01:27,098 --> 00:01:28,157
Do what?

23
00:01:28,157 --> 00:01:29,118
Try out for the play.

24
00:01:29,118 --> 00:01:32,817
You're kidding, right? 
I'd had some experience in this field, myself...

25
00:01:32,817 --> 00:01:34,668
Last year in Miss White's class.

26
00:01:34,668 --> 00:01:36,906
So I knew whereof I spoke.

27
00:01:36,906 --> 00:01:39,019
No...That'd be a bad idea, Winnie.

28
00:01:39,019 --> 00:01:41,992
Why? I think it could be fun!

29
00:01:41,992 --> 00:01:47,581
Fun? Do you know how many speeches 
you have to memorize? I mean, it's 
like taking eighteen biology tests!

30
00:01:47,581 --> 00:01:49,211
I'm a pretty good memorizer.

31
00:01:49,211 --> 00:01:51,207
Not to mention it's horrible.

32
00:01:51,207 --> 00:01:53,040
I mean, you're standing out there all alone.

33
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:58,302
Your ears start to sweat - nah...
Nah...I don't recommend it.

34
00:01:58,302 --> 00:02:01,029
I probably wouldn't be good, anyway.

35
00:02:01,029 --> 00:02:03,528
OK - so I'd rained on her parade.

36
00:02:03,528 --> 00:02:05,431
I had to set her straight.

37
00:02:05,431 --> 00:02:09,142
No one in their right mind volunteers to be in a play.

38
00:02:09,142 --> 00:02:12,284
I'm gonna try out for that play. 
How about you?

39
00:02:12,284 --> 00:02:16,032
Says here ya get of of seventh-period for rehearsals.

40
00:02:16,032 --> 00:02:17,639
Seventh-period?

41
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,098
Gym?

44
00:02:23,900 --> 00:02:26,151
Maybe Mr. Weber was a geek.

45
00:02:26,151 --> 00:02:28,431
But he was a smart geek.

46
00:02:28,431 --> 00:02:29,950
Theater offers you...

47
00:02:29,950 --> 00:02:33,009
A chance...to surprise yourself.

48
00:02:33,009 --> 00:02:36,601
To find a part of you...you didn't know you have.

49
00:02:36,601 --> 00:02:38,724
Choose a part...

50
00:02:38,724 --> 00:02:41,797
That speaks to you in some way.

51
00:02:41,797 --> 00:02:44,533
I think I'm gonna try out for the stage manager.

52
00:02:44,533 --> 00:02:46,990
Are you crazy? That's the biggest part on the play!

53
00:02:46,990 --> 00:02:49,322
Yeah! I noticed!

54
00:02:49,322 --> 00:02:50,964
That was Paul for ya.

55
00:02:50,964 --> 00:02:53,202
Part ham...mostly boloney.

56
00:02:53,202 --> 00:02:56,272
Me, I was looking for something with less visibility.

57
00:02:56,272 --> 00:03:02,024
Preferably with no lines to learn. 
Something simple, like...

58
00:03:03,041 --> 00:03:03,966
Bingo!

59
00:03:03,966 --> 00:03:06,319
Spotlight operator.

60
00:03:06,319 --> 00:03:08,650
Eat your heart out, seventh-period!

61
00:03:08,650 --> 00:03:09,722
Paul Pfeiffer.

62
00:03:09,722 --> 00:03:11,223
Ahem!

63
00:03:11,223 --> 00:03:14,715
The name of our town is Grover's Corners, New Hampshire,

64
00:03:14,715 --> 00:03:16,745
just across the Massachussett's line.

65
00:03:16,745 --> 00:03:19,726
Yep. Not for me, the pressures of auditioning.

66
00:03:19,726 --> 00:03:23,508
Heck, this thing wouldn't even be turned 
on till the night before the play.

67
00:03:23,508 --> 00:03:29,393
The date is May seventh, 1901.

68
00:03:29,393 --> 00:03:33,831
The time...is just before dawn.

69
00:03:33,831 --> 00:03:37,439
Thank you, Mr. Pfeiffer. That was...

70
00:03:37,439 --> 00:03:39,133
Unique!

71
00:03:39,133 --> 00:03:41,911
Thanks!

72
00:03:41,911 --> 00:03:46,130
Ah! Gwendolyn Cooper?
Reading for the part of Emily.

73
00:03:46,130 --> 00:03:48,340
But wait a minute!

74
00:03:50,011 --> 00:03:51,737
Winnie - what are you doing?!

75
00:03:51,737 --> 00:03:57,786
As for me, I'd rather have my children healthy...Than bright.

76
00:03:57,786 --> 00:03:59,351
I'm both, Mama, you know I am.

77
00:03:59,351 --> 00:04:01,082
I'm the smartest girl in school for my age.

78
00:04:01,082 --> 00:04:04,255
I have a wonderful memory.

79
00:04:04,255 --> 00:04:06,675
Well, she couldn't say I didn't warn her!

80
00:04:06,675 --> 00:04:10,574
Emily-Walk simply. 
Who do you think you are, today?

81
00:04:10,574 --> 00:04:11,900
Papa - you're terrible!

82
00:04:11,900 --> 00:04:15,283
One minute first you want me to straight, 
and the next minute you call me names!

83
00:04:15,283 --> 00:04:17,506
Still, she wasn't all that bad.

84
00:04:17,506 --> 00:04:21,516
I just can't sleep yet, Papa. 
The moonlight's so wonderful.

85
00:04:21,516 --> 00:04:25,431
And the smell of Mrs. Soames...

86
00:04:25,431 --> 00:04:26,660
Heliotrope.

87
00:04:26,660 --> 00:04:31,751
Heliotrope. Can you smell it?

88
00:04:32,932 --> 00:04:36,290
You had to admire her guts.

89
00:04:36,290 --> 00:04:38,880
Thank you, Gwendolyn.

90
00:04:43,786 --> 00:04:46,953
I just hoped she wouldn't take it too 
hard when she didn't get the part.

91
00:04:46,953 --> 00:04:49,263
I got the part!

92
00:04:49,263 --> 00:04:51,878
Ya, well, uh...I figured you would...

93
00:04:51,878 --> 00:04:53,698
Isn't it amazing?!

94
00:04:53,698 --> 00:04:56,437
Yeah...Uh, I mean uh - no!

95
00:04:56,437 --> 00:04:57,474
I have to go.

96
00:04:57,474 --> 00:05:00,325
I have to call my mom at home, 
and my dad in Chicago!

97
00:05:00,325 --> 00:05:04,428
What time is it in Chigaco?

98
00:05:05,026 --> 00:05:08,457
Well, it was good to see her smiling.

99
00:05:10,766 --> 00:05:14,736
But there's a broken heart...
For every light on Broadway.

100
00:05:14,736 --> 00:05:15,949
Struck out.

101
00:05:15,949 --> 00:05:17,546
You didn't get a part?

102
00:05:17,546 --> 00:05:22,087
Not even the belligerent man.

103
00:05:22,087 --> 00:05:27,610
"Is there no one in town aware of 
social injustice, and industrial inequality?"

104
00:05:27,610 --> 00:05:28,927
Huh?

105
00:05:28,927 --> 00:05:32,387
That's the belligerent man's line - I couldn't get it.

106
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,992
Now we'll never know if there is a part of me I didn't know I had.

107
00:05:38,233 --> 00:05:41,566
I'll tell ya what. 
Why don't you work the spotlight with me.

108
00:05:41,566 --> 00:05:42,677
Spotlight?

109
00:05:42,677 --> 00:05:44,043
Yeah. Why not?

110
00:05:44,043 --> 00:05:47,923
You know, Mr. Weber said that lighting's like another character.

111
00:05:47,923 --> 00:05:48,985
He said that?

112
00:05:48,985 --> 00:05:52,503
- And besides, we get out of seventh-period.
- A major character?

113
00:05:52,503 --> 00:05:55,081
Uh-oh.
I knew that look.

114
00:05:55,081 --> 00:05:57,136
The look of a man possessed.

115
00:05:57,136 --> 00:05:59,235
I think it sounds like fun!

116
00:05:59,235 --> 00:06:01,746
I used to love school plays.

117
00:06:01,746 --> 00:06:04,808
What are you playing? A buttercup? Ehh....

118
00:06:04,808 --> 00:06:06,238
"Our Town."

119
00:06:06,238 --> 00:06:09,837
That's the one about the girl that falls 
in love, and then she dies...

120
00:06:09,837 --> 00:06:12,907
but she comes back for one last 
visit to see her family?

121
00:06:12,907 --> 00:06:13,935
Mom.

122
00:06:13,935 --> 00:06:15,872
"Our Town"...is an indictment,

123
00:06:15,872 --> 00:06:19,570
of the meaninglessness of bourgeois 
middle-class existence.

124
00:06:19,570 --> 00:06:21,055
Oh.

125
00:06:21,055 --> 00:06:23,078
How much is it gonna cost me?

126
00:06:23,078 --> 00:06:26,126
Dad, as always, had his own perspective on the arts.

127
00:06:26,126 --> 00:06:27,557
Jack.

128
00:06:27,557 --> 00:06:30,149
Just askin'.

129
00:06:30,149 --> 00:06:32,777
Who else is in it?

130
00:06:32,968 --> 00:06:36,142
Uh, no one. Except...Winnie.

131
00:06:36,142 --> 00:06:39,213
Well, then - we have to go!

132
00:06:39,213 --> 00:06:40,392
Hah?

133
00:06:40,392 --> 00:06:42,256
Oh, nice goin', butthead!

134
00:06:42,256 --> 00:06:45,896
- Look, Mom, it's really not...
- Kevin, get tickets for all of us!

135
00:06:50,340 --> 00:06:52,329
I always expect a man to be perfect.

136
00:06:52,329 --> 00:06:54,836
And I think he should be.

137
00:06:54,836 --> 00:06:58,102
Oh, uh, I don't think it's possible to be perfect, Emily.

138
00:06:58,102 --> 00:07:01,698
My own opinion was, my dad had the right idea.

139
00:07:01,698 --> 00:07:03,576
What was the big deal about all this?

140
00:07:03,576 --> 00:07:05,325
Candlepower!

141
00:07:05,325 --> 00:07:06,266
Huh?

142
00:07:06,266 --> 00:07:10,742
Ya know this baby pumps out 750,000 candles o' light?!

143
00:07:10,742 --> 00:07:12,472
Paul, it's not even turned it on yet.

144
00:07:12,472 --> 00:07:15,662
Yeah, but when she does...powee!

145
00:07:15,662 --> 00:07:17,269
I should have seen it coming.

146
00:07:17,269 --> 00:07:20,228
Paul had found his calling.

147
00:07:20,228 --> 00:07:21,335
Ya know, Kev...

148
00:07:21,335 --> 00:07:24,847
It only takes one guy to run this thing
and I was just wondering if -

149
00:07:24,847 --> 00:07:28,722
Paul! You want to run the spotlight...fine with me.

150
00:07:28,722 --> 00:07:32,192
Really?! You don't mind?

151
00:07:32,192 --> 00:07:33,903
Thanks, Kev! I won't let you down!

152
00:07:33,903 --> 00:07:37,321
I'm gonna run the best spotlight the school ever saw.

153
00:07:37,321 --> 00:07:40,499
And you can still be my assistant!

154
00:07:41,062 --> 00:07:42,425
Assistant?

155
00:07:42,425 --> 00:07:43,806
Darn it!

156
00:07:43,806 --> 00:07:45,337
I forgot my line again!

157
00:07:45,337 --> 00:07:47,674
I guess Winnie was having problems of her own.

158
00:07:47,674 --> 00:07:49,773
I just can't seem to remember anything.

159
00:07:49,773 --> 00:07:51,406
Just relax, Gwendolyn.

160
00:07:51,406 --> 00:07:54,880
Let's take it from, uh..."giving away my daughter".

161
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:56,531
I'm giving away my daughter, George.

162
00:07:56,531 --> 00:07:58,176
Do you think you can take care of her?

163
00:07:58,176 --> 00:08:01,084
Mr. Webb, I want to - I want to try.

164
00:08:01,084 --> 00:08:05,003
Emily, I'm gonna do my best. 
I love you, Emily. I need you.

165
00:08:05,003 --> 00:08:08,776
Well, if you love me, then help me. 
All I want is someone to love me.

166
00:08:08,776 --> 00:08:12,946
I will, Emily. Emily, I'll try.

167
00:08:13,897 --> 00:08:15,849
And I mean...

168
00:08:15,849 --> 00:08:17,616
And I mean...

169
00:08:18,505 --> 00:08:19,847
Forever.

170
00:08:19,847 --> 00:08:21,427
Forever.

171
00:08:21,427 --> 00:08:23,281
Don't you hear, forever and ever?

172
00:08:25,802 --> 00:08:27,465
Let's take five, people.

173
00:08:27,465 --> 00:08:30,927
OK, Kev, make a note. 
We're gonna need another chamois.

174
00:08:30,927 --> 00:08:32,391
What?!

175
00:08:32,391 --> 00:08:36,069
Since you're my assistant, 
I thought you might keep a list.

176
00:08:36,069 --> 00:08:38,736
Paul, I'm not gonna keep a list!

177
00:08:38,736 --> 00:08:40,373
OK - fine! I'll do it myself.

178
00:08:40,373 --> 00:08:42,640
But we're gonna have to talk about your attitude!

179
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,943
Paul was taking this whole thing a little too seriously.

180
00:08:45,943 --> 00:08:47,710
Kevin? Did you see what happened today?

181
00:08:47,710 --> 00:08:51,034
Come to think of it, everyone was taking this play too seriously.

182
00:08:51,034 --> 00:08:52,459
I forgot all my lines...

183
00:08:52,459 --> 00:08:53,422
Yeah, well...

184
00:08:53,422 --> 00:08:56,338
I never forget things - I'm a good memorizer!

185
00:08:56,338 --> 00:08:59,642
Winnie, I wouldn't worry about it. 
I'm sure you'll be fine.

186
00:08:59,642 --> 00:09:01,388
But what if I'm not?

187
00:09:01,388 --> 00:09:02,995
What if it gets worse?

188
00:09:02,995 --> 00:09:05,084
What if I wreck the whole play?!

189
00:09:05,084 --> 00:09:07,533
Well, Winnie, you don't have to do it if you don't want to.

190
00:09:07,533 --> 00:09:09,261
I mean it's just a play!

191
00:09:09,261 --> 00:09:13,244
And it's all just to get out of seventh period anyway.

192
00:09:14,313 --> 00:09:17,024
That's the most insensitive thing 
I've ever heard in my life!

193
00:09:17,024 --> 00:09:18,992
You don't understand anything, Kevin!

194
00:09:18,992 --> 00:09:22,086
You don't understand anything at all!

195
00:09:26,116 --> 00:09:28,129
Actors!

196
00:09:28,129 --> 00:09:31,580
Over the next two weeks, I learned a valuable lesson about show-folk.

197
00:09:31,580 --> 00:09:33,518
I can't talk now, Kevin.

198
00:09:33,518 --> 00:09:36,630
They make lousy lunch companions.

199
00:09:36,630 --> 00:09:38,993
Meanwhile...I had problems of my own.

200
00:09:38,993 --> 00:09:42,694
My relationship with Paul had deteriorated into a classic...

201
00:09:42,694 --> 00:09:44,758
Labor-management confrontation.

202
00:09:44,758 --> 00:09:46,733
Kevin - I need you to do something for me.

203
00:09:46,733 --> 00:09:48,289
Nah, I'm on my break.

204
00:09:48,289 --> 00:09:51,814
Look...I know you're having troubles taking 
orders from me...because I'm your friend.

205
00:09:51,814 --> 00:09:54,248
Paul! I'm having troubles taking orders from you...

206
00:09:54,248 --> 00:09:56,302
Because you've completely lost your mind!

207
00:09:56,302 --> 00:09:58,402
I mean, you can't even turn that thing on till next Monday...

208
00:09:58,402 --> 00:10:01,056
So why don't you just sit back, relax, and enjoy it?!

209
00:10:01,056 --> 00:10:04,515
I'm relaxed! I-it's just that...

210
00:10:04,515 --> 00:10:06,351
What if the bulb burns out during the show?

211
00:10:06,351 --> 00:10:08,868
Paul. It's a brand-new bulb - it's never been used once.

212
00:10:08,868 --> 00:10:11,570
You can't guarantee that! Can you?!

213
00:10:12,155 --> 00:10:13,151
I think we should time...

214
00:10:13,151 --> 00:10:17,091
how long it takes to get to the utility room
and back...with a new bulb.

215
00:10:17,091 --> 00:10:20,070
Good idea. You do it.

216
00:10:20,070 --> 00:10:20,950
Fine!

217
00:10:20,950 --> 00:10:24,161
You think you can time me, or is that too much to ask?

218
00:10:25,655 --> 00:10:27,224
Go!

219
00:10:30,039 --> 00:10:33,424
At last - a little peace and quiet!

220
00:10:33,424 --> 00:10:38,109
The thing was, with just a few days left,Winnie seemed more lost than ever.

221
00:10:38,109 --> 00:10:42,352
Why can't I stay for awhile? 
Just as I am? Let's go away.

222
00:10:42,352 --> 00:10:44,644
No, no, Emily.
Now stop and think a minute.

223
00:10:44,644 --> 00:10:47,863
Don't you remember what you used to say?

224
00:10:51,667 --> 00:10:54,488
Heck - even I knew the lines by now.

225
00:10:54,488 --> 00:10:57,375
All the time you used to say...

226
00:10:57,375 --> 00:11:00,709
All the time you used to say...

227
00:11:04,012 --> 00:11:08,038
I can't do this! 
I'll never be able to do it!

228
00:11:08,381 --> 00:11:10,366
This wasn't just stage-fright.

229
00:11:10,366 --> 00:11:11,519
This girl was in trouble.

230
00:11:11,519 --> 00:11:13,934
- Kevin, what was my time?
- I can't talk. I gotta go!

231
00:11:13,934 --> 00:11:16,953
One thing, I ask of you!
One thing!

232
00:11:16,953 --> 00:11:18,651
Winnie!

233
00:11:19,395 --> 00:11:20,719
Wait up!

234
00:11:20,719 --> 00:11:24,409
What's your advice, now?! 
Quit school?! Lock myself in my room?!

235
00:11:24,409 --> 00:11:25,369
Change my name?!

236
00:11:25,369 --> 00:11:27,918
OK - forget it!

237
00:11:30,531 --> 00:11:32,345
I'm...just tryin' to help.

238
00:11:32,345 --> 00:11:34,152
Mr. Weber says it's quite natural.

239
00:11:34,152 --> 00:11:35,525
All actors go though this.

240
00:11:35,525 --> 00:11:37,658
Even Laurence Olivier.

241
00:11:38,312 --> 00:11:42,763
Oh, well...that's good, I guess.

242
00:11:43,385 --> 00:11:46,332
You were right - I shouldn't have done this.

243
00:11:46,332 --> 00:11:48,806
I should just quit. 
I have an understudy.

244
00:11:48,806 --> 00:11:50,402
I'm sure she'd be better than me.

245
00:11:50,402 --> 00:11:53,475
Let's face it - she couldn't be any worse.

246
00:11:56,286 --> 00:11:59,309
What do you think I should do?

247
00:12:02,226 --> 00:12:05,603
I think you should...

248
00:12:05,603 --> 00:12:07,982
Do whatever you want to do.

249
00:12:07,982 --> 00:12:09,500
I want to quit!

250
00:12:09,500 --> 00:12:10,673
Then I think you should quit!

251
00:12:10,673 --> 00:12:11,588
I can't quit!

252
00:12:11,588 --> 00:12:12,274
Why not?!

253
00:12:12,274 --> 00:12:15,430
My father's coming out to see me.

254
00:12:19,340 --> 00:12:23,170
He's flying in from Chicago just to see the play.

255
00:12:23,773 --> 00:12:27,355
Mom and Dad haven't seen each other for two months.

256
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,605
Oh...

257
00:12:36,668 --> 00:12:39,024
Is there anything I can do?

258
00:12:39,024 --> 00:12:41,766
You can tell me to break a leg.

259
00:12:41,766 --> 00:12:43,518
But the play's not for a week.

260
00:12:43,518 --> 00:12:46,998
No - mean really break a leg. 
That way I won't have to do it.

261
00:12:46,998 --> 00:12:50,653
Then...break a leg.

262
00:12:53,566 --> 00:12:54,570
But just Winnie's luck,

263
00:12:54,570 --> 00:13:05,967
the night of the big play, 
she was still in perfect health.

264
00:13:05,967 --> 00:13:09,816
I guess everyone was feeling a little tense.

265
00:13:15,282 --> 00:13:18,636
Especially Winnie's parents.

266
00:13:22,117 --> 00:13:23,729
But...at least I could relax.

267
00:13:23,729 --> 00:13:26,203
I had complete confidence in Paul.

268
00:13:26,203 --> 00:13:27,460
Paul?

269
00:13:27,460 --> 00:13:29,707
Paul?

270
00:13:29,707 --> 00:13:31,395
Ah. Kevin...

271
00:13:31,633 --> 00:13:32,829
Paul is ill.

272
00:13:32,829 --> 00:13:33,235
Ill?!

273
00:13:33,235 --> 00:13:35,786
Just a little case of nerves...
But uh, you'll have to operate the spotlight.

274
00:13:35,786 --> 00:13:37,349
But Paul knows the cues - I can't -

275
00:13:37,349 --> 00:13:40,676
There's no time. You'll just have do...
The best you can.

276
00:13:40,676 --> 00:13:43,776
Wait! Mr. Weber!

277
00:13:43,776 --> 00:13:49,323
Great. Paul had been stricken with the 
world's first documented case of back-stage fright.

278
00:13:49,323 --> 00:13:52,431
And I had to pick up the pieces...

279
00:13:52,431 --> 00:13:54,969
In the dark.

280
00:13:56,756 --> 00:14:01,232
This play is called..."Our Town."

281
00:14:05,068 --> 00:14:09,136
Well...I better show you how "Our Town" lies.

282
00:14:09,136 --> 00:14:12,024
I didn't even know how this thing worked!

283
00:14:14,498 --> 00:14:17,573
Up there...is Main Street.

284
00:14:18,266 --> 00:14:20,837
Uh...that-that is ...up there.

285
00:14:20,837 --> 00:14:24,084
It was horrible. 
I could feel my ears starting to sweat.

286
00:14:24,084 --> 00:14:28,297
Way up there...
Is the railway station.

287
00:14:28,297 --> 00:14:31,822
Tracks go that way...

288
00:14:38,396 --> 00:14:42,766
It was humiliating. 
I wanted to just walk away.

289
00:14:43,676 --> 00:14:45,158
There, are the children...

290
00:14:45,158 --> 00:14:47,810
Coming home from school already.

291
00:14:47,810 --> 00:14:49,011
But then...

292
00:14:49,011 --> 00:14:51,544
I can't Lois. I've got to go home and help my mother.

293
00:14:51,544 --> 00:14:52,649
I promised.

294
00:14:52,649 --> 00:14:54,558
Then I realized I couldn't walk away.

295
00:14:54,558 --> 00:14:57,846
Emily! Walk simply. 
Who do you think you are, today?

296
00:14:57,846 --> 00:15:00,847
Papa, you're terrible! 
One minute you tell me to stand up straight,

297
00:15:00,847 --> 00:15:02,860
then the next minute you call me names.

298
00:15:02,860 --> 00:15:06,011
I just don't listen to you.

299
00:15:06,011 --> 00:15:10,134
Golly - I never got a kiss from such a great lady before.

300
00:15:10,134 --> 00:15:11,973
She looked beautiful.

301
00:15:11,973 --> 00:15:14,504
And terrified.

302
00:15:16,444 --> 00:15:19,162
And I knew she needed me.

303
00:15:30,083 --> 00:15:33,864
Those next few minutes seemed to last a thousand years.

304
00:15:33,864 --> 00:15:37,090
Every moment was potential disaster.

305
00:15:37,090 --> 00:15:40,269
Why can't I stay for awhile - just as I am?

306
00:15:40,269 --> 00:15:43,138
We were both struggling.

307
00:15:43,138 --> 00:15:46,132
Don't you remember what you used to say?

308
00:15:46,132 --> 00:15:49,769
All the time you used to say...

309
00:15:56,716 --> 00:16:00,003
And then, a weird thing happened.

310
00:16:00,003 --> 00:16:05,074
I was holding the light on Winnie, 
when everything got very quiet.

311
00:16:07,728 --> 00:16:11,122
And I felt something. 
I don't know what it was. I felt like...

312
00:16:11,122 --> 00:16:13,992
I was holding her up with that light.

313
00:16:16,034 --> 00:16:19,616
That we were connected by the light.

314
00:16:19,971 --> 00:16:23,805
And I wouldn't let her fall.

315
00:16:26,927 --> 00:16:31,532
Come on. Just keep goin'.

316
00:16:35,292 --> 00:16:37,921
That I was your girl.

317
00:16:37,921 --> 00:16:39,920
There must be a lot of places we can go.

318
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,588
I'll work for you - I can keep a house!

319
00:16:42,588 --> 00:16:46,647
No matter what - I wouldn' let her fall.

320
00:16:48,782 --> 00:16:52,467
Oh, mama - just look at me for a moment,as if you really saw me.

321
00:16:52,467 --> 00:16:56,330
That night I learned something. 
About courage...

322
00:16:56,330 --> 00:16:57,864
And maybe about love.

323
00:16:57,864 --> 00:17:01,324
Mama, fourteen years have gone by. 
I'm dead!

324
00:17:01,324 --> 00:17:04,315
You're a grandmother, Mama.

325
00:17:06,449 --> 00:17:09,225
But just for a moment now, 
when we're all together...

326
00:17:09,225 --> 00:17:11,921
Mama, just for a moment, let's be happy!

327
00:17:11,921 --> 00:17:15,030
Let's look at one another!

328
00:17:17,697 --> 00:17:20,320
I can't! I can't go on!

329
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:22,175
It goes so fast!

330
00:17:22,175 --> 00:17:25,223
We don't have time to look at one another!

331
00:17:26,137 --> 00:17:31,100
Take me back. Up the hill to my grave.

332
00:17:31,100 --> 00:17:35,781
But first...wait.

333
00:17:36,105 --> 00:17:43,379
Let me have one more look.

334
00:17:43,379 --> 00:17:45,658
Goodbye...

335
00:17:45,658 --> 00:17:48,561
Goodbye, world!

336
00:17:48,561 --> 00:17:51,962
Goodbye, Grover's Corners.

337
00:17:51,962 --> 00:17:54,932
Mama and Papa...

338
00:17:57,131 --> 00:17:59,532
Goodbye, to clocks ticking...

339
00:17:59,532 --> 00:18:01,727
and mama's sunflowers...

340
00:18:01,727 --> 00:18:04,399
and food and coffee...

341
00:18:04,399 --> 00:18:06,524
and new-ironed dresses...

342
00:18:06,524 --> 00:18:08,097
and hot baths...

343
00:18:08,097 --> 00:18:10,250
and sleeping and waking up!

344
00:18:10,250 --> 00:18:16,043
Oh, Earth, you're too wonderful 
for anyone to realize you!

345
00:18:35,718 --> 00:18:39,368
Do any human beings ever realize 
life while they live it?

346
00:18:39,368 --> 00:18:42,764
Every, every minute?

347
00:18:42,764 --> 00:18:46,561
No. The saints and poets, maybe.

348
00:18:46,561 --> 00:18:49,540
They do, some.

349
00:18:56,997 --> 00:18:59,794
I'm ready to go back.

350
00:19:11,928 --> 00:19:12,425
Hmmm.

351
00:19:12,425 --> 00:19:16,427
Eleven o'clock in Grover's Corners. 
You get a good rest, too.

352
00:19:16,427 --> 00:19:18,819
Goodnight.

353
00:19:37,442 --> 00:19:41,062
I couldn't exactly say we made theater 
history that autumn evening...

354
00:19:41,062 --> 00:19:43,915
maybe we weren't even very good.

355
00:19:43,915 --> 00:19:45,974
The thing is, it didn't matter.

356
00:19:45,974 --> 00:19:48,725
We made it through.

357
00:19:52,033 --> 00:19:55,063
And the critics were kind.

358
00:19:58,837 --> 00:20:00,770
And a week later...

359
00:20:00,770 --> 00:20:06,661
Mr. Cooper moved back in with his family.

360
00:20:06,661 --> 00:20:18,801
