Short filmTranscript
00:02:02Hey, is that me, Ms. Miller?
00:02:03Mr. Mickelson, hi.
00:02:06Hi.
00:02:07Oh, yes.
00:02:08Yeah, come on up here.
00:02:09Thank you so much.
00:02:11Oh, great to see you.
00:02:13Yeah, put your bag right there.
00:02:15Right here?
00:02:16That's okay?
00:02:17That'll work.
00:02:19Oh, okay.
00:02:26I'm all good.
00:02:28Ready to go.
00:02:30Let's go.
00:02:46Mom?
00:02:50Mom?
00:02:51Mom?
00:03:05Mom?
00:03:17Mom?
00:03:21Honey?
00:03:23I'm not back.
00:03:29Oh, Rosie.
00:03:32Oh, honey.
00:03:34Oh, you all right?
00:03:36I'm fine.
00:03:39Rosie, I'm fine.
00:03:41Okay.
00:03:41You are all dog up.
00:03:44Well, isn't every day I come home to see my mom?
00:03:46No, it certainly isn't.
00:03:50Honey, you could use a wash.
00:03:51Well, it's a long walk from the station.
00:03:54Well, why didn't you call?
00:03:56I did call.
00:04:00You know, sometimes I take the phone off the hook when I'm resting.
00:04:04I'm sorry.
00:04:06Well, I hitched a short bit on Mr. Mickelson's tractor.
00:04:10Oh, boy, I'm going to hear about that at the way he's age.
00:04:14My gossip about me hasn't killed you yet.
00:04:16No, but it's not for lack of trying.
00:04:18Make fun.
00:04:19But I have done a lot of interesting things in my life.
00:04:22Well, I think that a husband is interesting, and you don't have one of those.
00:04:28Let's get you lying down.
00:04:31I haven't heard that in a long while.
00:04:34Mama.
00:04:35Oh, don't you be so scandalized, little city girl.
00:04:40Well, I'm not in the city now.
00:04:42I'm home to help my mom, so no more laundry for you.
00:04:45I'm going to have to lie down naked if I don't do the laundry.
00:04:51Oh, and then there really will be a scandal.
00:04:55Oh, and then there really will be a scandal.
00:05:29From Footlight Parade, we saw it twice at the old Fox Theatre in the city.
00:05:35Three times.
00:05:42What's you working on?
00:05:44You Afghan.
00:05:57Mom, come on in. Come on. Come for breakfast. It's ready.
00:06:03Mom, it's getting cold.
00:06:13I ordered over easy.
00:06:16Well, they got scrambled on the way.
00:06:18Put that pan to soak. I'll take care of it later.
00:06:25You're still a wizard in the kitchen, I see.
00:06:29Fix the truck for you this afternoon.
00:06:31Mm-mm.
00:06:34Fancy secretary, time and pistons.
00:06:37You may recall during the war I spent three years building B-29s.
00:06:42And my way around machines.
00:06:45Well, at least that G.D. war gave you something useful.
00:06:51There are a pair of overalls around here I can use.
00:06:53Don't go worrying about that truck. That's on my to-do list.
00:06:57Don't you argue with me.
00:06:59At least not on your first morning home.
00:07:06So, tell me again what the doctor said.
00:07:09I've told you six times already.
00:07:12You don't listen, Rosie.
00:07:16Just said my arthritis is getting worse.
00:07:20I should come home. Rest.
00:07:26I'll fix the truck for you. What else can I do?
00:07:28Slow down.
00:07:31You're kicking up a lot of dust.
00:07:33I'm here to get things done.
00:07:35My company only hired a temp for three weeks.
00:07:38If I don't make it back in time, she keeps my job.
00:07:57Thank you kindly. You're not a problem-less.
00:08:00Rose Miller!
00:08:02Rose Miller!
00:08:02Why, look at you, Rosie. Come on, Jean.
00:08:04Always an eyeful.
00:08:13Jean, you go along.
00:08:15Tell the pastor I'll be there in a few minutes.
00:08:17Jean, no running.
00:08:20My grandson.
00:08:22The accordionist.
00:08:28Is he from around here?
00:08:30Chaplain.
00:08:30He's a priest?
00:08:32No.
00:08:33They call him that because he's silent.
00:08:35In my experience, that's not an excuse to be rude.
00:08:38He's deaf and dumb.
00:08:40Oh.
00:08:43Rosie.
00:08:45Honestly, the liquor store?
00:08:47We were out.
00:08:49But you send someone.
00:08:51That's not a place for a nice young lady.
00:08:54Florence, when have you ever known me to be a nice young lady?
00:09:18Rose Miller, is that you?
00:09:22What are you doing back in town?
00:09:25Macy Comstock.
00:09:30I'm impressed you held onto that factory.
00:09:33Several people came up to me at Charlie's funeral, scared, asking if I was gonna shut the place down.
00:09:38Why didn't you?
00:09:40I thought about it.
00:09:41No one left in the family to run it.
00:09:43The men don't give you trouble.
00:09:45Once I showed them I was serious about learning, they got serious about teaching me.
00:09:49And here we are, five years down the road.
00:09:51How long?
00:09:53We haven't been back in what?
00:09:54A year and a half.
00:09:55That was the worst movie we've had in 20 years.
00:09:59Ugh.
00:09:59Almost didn't make it back to Chicago and nearly lost my job.
00:10:03You still happy there?
00:10:04Absolutely.
00:10:05I live in an apartment on my own.
00:10:07I shop at department stores, museums, nightclubs.
00:10:11Do you still see movies?
00:10:13I remember you and your mother used to always see Sunday matinees in the city.
00:10:19Still go.
00:10:20Oh, is someone special?
00:10:21Oh.
00:10:22No, no, no.
00:10:23All the men I meet want me to quit my job.
00:10:26Keep house.
00:10:26Yeah.
00:10:28Anna, you remember Rose?
00:10:30Come say hello.
00:10:31Please?
00:10:33She just loves her books.
00:10:35You are so grown up.
00:10:38Anna, say hello.
00:10:40Hello.
00:10:40I know I'm not around much, but I know all sorts of secrets about your mother from when she was
00:10:45young.
00:10:46And I can be bribed with chocolate or the loan of your bicycle.
00:10:50Now, don't be telling her about all the trouble we used to get into.
00:10:54Mom!
00:10:55I didn't mean to embarrass you, darling.
00:10:58It's just...
00:10:58Embarrassing yourself.
00:11:13What's about playing down here?
00:11:15It's flying down to Rio.
00:11:19Ginger, Fred, your forehead never stopped touching.
00:11:25They had that dance floor.
00:11:27It was all made of pianos.
00:11:30I wore my hair like hers for years.
00:11:33Rosie, you're always trying to find that special little something.
00:11:39The Saturday photos.
00:11:42Mm-hmm.
00:11:42I found them in a box.
00:11:44It was next to the old mangle down in the basement.
00:11:47I'm just gonna get them all labeled.
00:11:51What year is this?
00:11:531933.
00:11:54Like the gold diggers.
00:11:56We're in the money.
00:11:59We're in the money.
00:12:01Love time.
00:12:02I ran into Florence.
00:12:04Uh-huh.
00:12:05She didn't know you were feeling poorly.
00:12:06Well, I don't want her to.
00:12:08Because she's gotta tell everybody.
00:12:10I'm gonna be up to my neck in pity that I don't want and a whole bunch of hot dishes
00:12:16I'm not even gonna eat.
00:12:19Suit yourself.
00:12:20Mm-hmm.
00:12:23Oh.
00:12:27Oh, boy.
00:12:29After every matinee, we'd take a picture in front of the marquee.
00:12:33What I wouldn't give to just see one more moving musical.
00:12:38Why don't we?
00:12:41The nearest theater's 40 miles away.
00:12:44We have your truck.
00:12:47You'd be rattled to bits.
00:12:49Well, I'll ask Macy.
00:12:50She'll loan us her car.
00:12:51We'll drive to the suit and we will catch a matinee.
00:12:54Bosie, I can't even sit still at the supper table.
00:12:56The pills from the doctor.
00:12:58I am not taking those damn goofballs.
00:13:03They're perfectly safe.
00:13:05Yeah, that's what they told your father after the war and he wasn't ever the same.
00:13:08I'm trying to do something special for you, honey.
00:13:13I don't want special.
00:13:14I just want normal.
00:13:17Two hours in the car and three hours at the matinee.
00:13:21I don't do that anymore.
00:13:27Fine.
00:14:01Oh boy, it sure is nice to have a partner, Kip.
00:14:04To everybody.
00:14:08Duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh.
00:14:17Thank you so much for coming tonight and I just wanted to welcome you all to our show center for
00:14:21to the annual Sue Steam Community Dance.
00:14:24I know my husband Charlie would be so happy to know
00:14:27that we've kept on the family tradition.
00:14:29So please, have some pie and punch
00:14:32and dance the night away, and have a bunch of fun, all right?
00:14:43Anna, will you dance with me?
00:14:45No.
00:14:47Oh, come on, please, I love to dance, you will too.
00:14:49No, please.
00:15:08I'm Rose Miller.
00:15:10Well, how do you do?
00:15:11Oh.
00:15:13And you are?
00:15:13Mrs. Albert Claring.
00:15:15Lovely.
00:15:16And your name?
00:15:17Mrs. Albert Claring.
00:15:22I don't know.
00:15:25I don't need the answer.
00:15:27If you hold up on your mind, my darling.
00:15:32You remember Dave Jenkins?
00:15:34His wife died a few years ago.
00:15:36Oh, so sorry for hearing that.
00:15:38What's up, little brother?
00:15:41I know.
00:15:42Oh, gosh.
00:15:43I know.
00:15:45Oh, gosh.
00:15:46I remember my first crush.
00:15:49Me too, but that was a lifetime ago.
00:15:53You ever think about finding a man?
00:15:56Maybe getting married again?
00:15:58I think about finding someone and just not getting married again.
00:16:04And you? Do you ever want to belong to someone?
00:16:07Belong to someone? I can't believe you just said that.
00:16:11Madame Factory Boss, Modern Independent Moment.
00:16:16I can't believe you, I can't believe you.
00:16:20I can't believe you, I can't believe you.
00:16:34Like I told you last night, I'm happy to loan you my car,
00:16:37but she's a grown woman and it doesn't sound like she wants to go.
00:16:41I just wish you could see a movie without leaving Beersford.
00:16:45The only way you're going to see a movie in this town is if you make it yourself.
00:16:51Do you want the last piece?
00:16:56Why not?
00:16:57It's all yours.
00:17:00Why not?
00:17:03Making a movie can't be harder than building a plane.
00:17:07What sort of trouble are you hatching, Rose Miller?
00:17:11What is a movie musical anyway?
00:17:13A camera, some film, some beautiful young people dancing.
00:17:17You can do that right here.
00:17:18I'm not so sure we have any of those things in this town.
00:17:21And it doesn't need to be two hours long.
00:17:25It's gonna be easy.
00:17:26Mom's gonna get her movie without leaving Beersford.
00:17:30I am so glad you're back.
00:17:33Things have gotten boring around these parts.
00:17:38Hey, Ieeeef.
00:18:06I am so glad we could Face Rock pal.
00:18:06You've been.
00:18:16Hello?
00:18:19Hello?
00:18:31Hello?
00:18:33Hello?
00:18:34Hello. Hi. I'm Rose, Macy's friend.
00:18:39I think she told you I was coming.
00:18:42I'm making a film for my mother.
00:18:44Chaplin, we need a movie camera.
00:18:57Great. Do you have one?
00:19:05Oh, no. No. A camera. A camera.
00:19:11We're looking for a camera, but small, like during the war.
00:19:15Excuse me.
00:19:27Well, I don't know how I'm supposed to explain anything to you.
00:19:46I'm going to say a camera.
00:19:47I'm going to say a camera.
00:19:47I can't wait for the camera.
00:20:02He's just waiting for someone.
00:20:03He's just waiting for the camera.
00:20:04I'm going to say a camera, and I'm just waiting for someone.
00:20:09Oh, this is wonderful.
00:20:12Does it work?
00:20:17That is just beautiful.
00:20:25No, I'd like to take a look at it before you go taking it apart.
00:20:34I want to know how it works.
00:20:51All right then, I'll be back Monday.
00:21:06Hi, Anna.
00:21:08Your mother said I'd find you here.
00:21:14What's your reading?
00:21:20Did your mother mention the movie I'm making?
00:21:24Yeah.
00:21:26I'm going to need a leading lady.
00:21:29Will you be my star?
00:21:31No, thank you.
00:21:32Why not?
00:21:34Not exactly the actress type.
00:21:37Anna, I think you'll make the audience fall in love with you.
00:21:41It's impossible.
00:21:43I can't make faces and cry in front of people.
00:21:45Many actors can make dramatic poses,
00:21:47but very few can evoke true emotion.
00:21:52Do you really think that I can?
00:21:54I do.
00:21:56I'll have to ask my mom.
00:21:58I already did.
00:22:01Okay, I'll do it.
00:22:06And let's ask that boy from the dance.
00:22:09Which one?
00:22:10The one who looks like a young Cary Grant.
00:22:13Dale?
00:22:13Yes.
00:22:14No, he's busy.
00:22:15He works at the soda fountain and he plays basketball.
00:22:17Let's let him decide that.
00:22:21Welcome to Duars.
00:22:23What can I get you to today?
00:22:24Uh, oh dear.
00:22:26Um, the deer.
00:22:29They're impressive.
00:22:31Well, that one's a ram.
00:22:34Right you are.
00:22:35From the Black Hills.
00:22:36Maybe Rankin Ridge?
00:22:38I think so.
00:22:39Are you from around here?
00:22:41Not anymore.
00:22:42I'm Rose.
00:22:43Rose Miller.
00:22:45Dale, truth be told, Anna and I have dropped in because we have something to ask you.
00:22:50We'll be making a movie in the next few days and we're looking for actors.
00:22:54What do you say?
00:22:54To what?
00:22:55To be in the film.
00:22:57Uh, no.
00:22:58No thank you.
00:22:59Why not?
00:22:59Actors memorize lines.
00:23:01I can't do that.
00:23:01My movie's a musical.
00:23:02There's not any lines.
00:23:04I can't sing.
00:23:05It's a silent musical.
00:23:06You don't even have a microphone.
00:23:07You don't even have to sing or say anything, really.
00:23:10No sound.
00:23:11No sound.
00:23:12I wouldn't know what to do.
00:23:13Do you play any sports?
00:23:15He plays basketball.
00:23:16Captain, two years.
00:23:18Who tells you what to do in the game?
00:23:20Coach Phillips.
00:23:21I will be your coach.
00:23:22I'll tell you where to stand, where to move, and how to do everything.
00:23:26Doesn't that sound like fun?
00:23:28Yes, ma'am.
00:23:30Call me Rose.
00:23:33We will stop by tomorrow to fit you for your costume, and shooting begins as soon as the
00:23:38film comes in from Chicago.
00:23:40Yes, ma'am.
00:23:40I mean, Rose.
00:23:44Oh, holy cow.
00:23:46Look at this.
00:23:47It's your Cetabara period.
00:23:50Tell me what you were thinking.
00:23:52Jeepers.
00:23:53Look who's talking.
00:23:55Daddy gave you endless grief for that hairdo.
00:23:58Now, see, you could do no wrong, but let me step out of an angle.
00:24:01You could do no wrong, but let me step out of an apron, and he about blew a gasket.
00:24:04That's putting it mildly.
00:24:06Okay, what do you think about 1937?
00:24:10No.
00:24:11It's 39.
00:24:12Well, I already have it in ink.
00:24:14Well, scratch it out.
00:24:15Well, a few years difference won't matter.
00:24:17It will matter.
00:24:18When you look back, it's going to matter.
00:24:24Oh, this is what I was looking for.
00:24:28I look like Myrna Loy in...
00:24:30Finn Man?
00:24:31Finn Man, 1934.
00:24:33That was my favorite.
00:24:35I thought you liked the musicals best.
00:24:39Yeah.
00:24:40Hmm.
00:24:41Until you discovered boys, and then you'd be gone from the intermission to the closing credits.
00:24:46You're exaggerating.
00:24:47Oh, Mama.
00:24:49The line at the concession stand.
00:24:51It was just so long.
00:24:55I didn't know you even missed me.
00:24:57Eyes were glued to the screen.
00:25:00That was our time together.
00:25:10I'm going to hang a sheet in that corner.
00:25:12Pretty soon, we will have our own little matinee.
00:25:21Oh, let's read the catwalk out of the bed from a dim and fog right to the door.
00:25:28And it's gone.
00:25:34Hi there.
00:25:37Jeepers.
00:25:38I'm Rose Miller.
00:25:39Nice to meet you.
00:25:40Ah, Pearl's daughter.
00:25:42Macy said you'd be coming around.
00:25:45Yeah, back in town.
00:25:47Temporarily.
00:25:48From Chicago.
00:25:49And planning to make a film.
00:25:51A movie.
00:25:53Hmm.
00:25:54I think your land here is perfect.
00:26:01I'd be hugely grateful to you if you'd consider letting me use it as a location.
00:26:05That's where you make a film.
00:26:07Using a location is a very modern idea, actually.
00:26:11And the script. I'll be writing the script.
00:26:14That's the film's... the movie's story.
00:26:19Will it be narrative or expressionist?
00:26:22Excuse me?
00:26:27Sure. You can use whatever you want.
00:26:30I'll actually be around to help out.
00:26:35It arrived this morning.
00:26:38No. I need to test it. See if it works.
00:26:44How are we supposed to work together if we can't communicate?
00:27:02You think of everything.
00:27:04Mm-hmm.
00:27:08Great.
00:27:24I'm sorry.
00:27:27I'm sorry.
00:27:28I didn't... no.
00:27:35I'm sorry.
00:27:36I'm sorry.
00:27:48I'm sorry.
00:27:50I'm sorry.
00:27:50I'm sorry.
00:27:52I'm sorry.
00:27:57What do you know about machines?
00:28:00I built bombers during the war.
00:28:13I'm an executive secretary.
00:28:15I'm sorry.
00:28:20Do you like it?
00:28:25It's a very important job.
00:28:52I feel like an idiot.
00:29:01I've spent years trying to impress people who think I'm the weirder and who just want
00:29:09me to be quiet and go away.
00:29:25People think your skills are less for no good reason, that's why I work for myself.
00:30:23But I know he doesn't hurt me much.
00:30:25There is a reason where I am.
00:30:45The book says that the film needs a director
00:30:55and also a camera specialist.
00:31:08Will you be my camera man?
00:31:17Yes.
00:31:24You have eyes, don't you?
00:31:27You can see just fine.
00:31:45Okay, but I want to see the edge of the flat.
00:31:47The edge of the flat.
00:31:52What?
00:31:55What?
00:31:56Just...
00:32:03Okay, this is for my mother.
00:32:07She loves fantasy.
00:32:17Just...
00:32:17Just do what I say.
00:32:19This is going to work.
00:32:20Just do this.
00:32:22Okay.
00:32:23You two.
00:32:24Go to the edge and then come in when I start you.
00:32:29Florence!
00:32:30I brought a rhubarb cake for you to take to Pearl.
00:32:34Are you expecting Pearl to come watch soon?
00:32:36Oh, I don't believe so.
00:32:38Mace, so much to do at the house.
00:32:41Her arthritis problem improving, then.
00:32:43Oh, you know Pearl.
00:32:44No complaints.
00:32:46Mm-hmm.
00:32:47Well, if that's the way she wants to play it.
00:32:51Well, this was wonderful of you, Pearl.
00:32:53We'll be pleased.
00:32:54Mm-hmm.
00:32:56What's that on her head?
00:32:59It's a headdress.
00:33:01We're channeling a dance from the Ziegfeld Girls.
00:33:14Bend a little here.
00:33:16Tighten a little there.
00:33:17All right.
00:33:24Try to shake your head.
00:33:28Get me some chicken wire and pliers.
00:33:31I'll go get some.
00:33:36Jean?
00:33:37I'm going to need an assistant.
00:33:39Would you be willing to take good notes and do what I say?
00:33:41Yes, ma'am.
00:33:42We'll get along just fine.
00:33:44All right, everybody.
00:33:45Let's rehearse.
00:33:46Places.
00:33:48Places.
00:33:48Much louder.
00:33:49Places!
00:33:50Good. Come with me.
00:34:05Macy!
00:34:07And, go!
00:34:09Left.
00:34:10Good, right.
00:34:11Left, and right.
00:34:14And turn, and swoop.
00:34:21Before I go to Macy's, I'm going to go figure out what he is.
00:34:24I'm not hungry yet.
00:34:26I won't burn it this time, I promise.
00:34:28Did you hear back from your job?
00:34:33What are you gonna do if they don't give you any more time off?
00:34:38Rosie.
00:34:42Rose.
00:34:43Honey, come on, sit down for a minute.
00:34:52You know, I worry about you every single day.
00:34:57I'm fine.
00:35:00Which part's fine?
00:35:02Living in that box of an apartment that you call home all by yourself?
00:35:10Being a part of something bigger than this.
00:35:13Bigger than this?
00:35:15This is ours.
00:35:18This is all ours.
00:35:21There's not enough here for me.
00:35:26Mom, be honest.
00:35:28Wouldn't you have lived in the city?
00:35:30You could have.
00:35:32The museums, the stores, the excitement.
00:35:36All that concrete?
00:35:39All that noise?
00:35:43The quiet here is too loud for me.
00:36:05The quiet here is too loud for me.
00:36:12Well, that's your right.
00:36:14I just don't want anybody feeling sorry for me.
00:36:19What you don't want is to admit you're just like the rest of us.
00:36:25Pearl, you have helped me throughout the years.
00:36:30You've been there for me.
00:36:31And if you don't let me help you now, you're keeping me in your debt.
00:36:36And that's just mean.
00:36:40Now, are you going to be a bathrobe hypocrite?
00:36:43Or can I sign you up for a visit from the AIDS Society tomorrow?
00:36:59Everyone, gather round!
00:37:02Ladies and gentlemen, the film is very, very expensive and the rain might be coming, so we can't afford to
00:37:10make any mistakes.
00:37:11Do you all feel ready to do this?
00:37:12Yes.
00:37:15James!
00:37:17James, is the camera ready?
00:37:25Great.
00:37:28No.
00:37:30Just do this.
00:37:33Okay, let's do this.
00:37:34Let's do this!
00:37:39Scene one, take one.
00:37:46And the orchestra music comes in.
00:37:50And...
00:37:54Cut!
00:37:59Scene one, take two.
00:38:01Scene one, take three.
00:38:03Take four.
00:38:05Scene one, take 17.
00:38:13Hold on!
00:38:15Hold on!
00:38:23What are you doing?
00:38:25Just do what I say!
00:38:33James!
00:38:34James!
00:38:42Sorry.
00:38:43I'm sorry.
00:38:49I should ask you and not tell you.
00:39:00We're never going to understand each other.
00:39:07So I should get somebody else.
00:39:09I don't want anybody else.
00:39:10I want you.
00:39:12Now how do you want to communicate?
00:39:22What?
00:39:29He seems so angry.
00:39:32What do those hand signals mean?
00:39:37I don't know.
00:39:40Do you think Rose needs help?
00:39:42Do you think Rose needs help?
00:39:48So...
00:39:49What are you going to do after you graduate?
00:39:54I plan on going to Indiana or Iowa.
00:39:57What would you study?
00:39:59Ag, probably.
00:40:00My dad says that no one knows this land better than he does.
00:40:02But I know I could raise production.
00:40:04Learn the new fertilizers and machines.
00:40:07Like robots?
00:40:08Uh, farm robots.
00:40:17I wonder how long this is going to take.
00:40:20I don't want to walk home in the dark.
00:40:22I could walk you.
00:40:25Really?
00:40:27Yeah.
00:40:28My dad would have my hide if he knew I let you walk home alone in the dark.
00:40:33Okay.
00:40:35James, whatever it is, I'll look.
00:40:38James!
00:40:39James!
00:40:57Need a lift, Miss DeMille?
00:41:01Sister, do I ever.
00:41:03I have fun today.
00:41:17There's your mom.
00:41:19Guess you don't need me.
00:41:20Do you want a ride?
00:41:21Uh, no, I'll just run.
00:41:22I'll just run.
00:41:24I'll just run.
00:41:26Hop in.
00:41:28Never ever speak to me again.
00:41:30A turn.
00:41:31And then a swoop.
00:41:34A turn and a swoop.
00:41:38It's...
00:41:41Well, maybe it'll look like it's supposed to be a comedy.
00:41:49It's a silent musical.
00:41:57It's a silent musical.
00:42:03Am I...
00:42:06Am I crazy?
00:42:09Ah.
00:42:14I'm running out of time.
00:42:16Your job wants you back.
00:42:20Hmm.
00:42:28And James.
00:42:30And James?
00:42:31I tried to tell him what to do, and he quit.
00:42:37What?
00:42:37He quit.
00:42:38Well, you have to get him back.
00:42:40How?
00:42:41It feels like whatever I write down is half of what I mean.
00:42:45Well, I've always believed Chaplin...
00:42:48I mean, James, to be smart.
00:42:50I mean, obviously he's smarter than he shows.
00:42:54He says there's a...
00:42:55There's a sign, Language.
00:42:57Have you heard of this?
00:42:58No.
00:42:59But he did go to a School for the Deaf up near Sioux Falls.
00:43:03That's where he was when we were kids.
00:43:07Huh.
00:43:13It's not a language.
00:43:15It's more like a...
00:43:16slang.
00:43:18We forbid it in the classroom.
00:43:21Why?
00:43:22It's a crutch.
00:43:23They need to learn to read lips,
00:43:25or they'll never be able to integrate into society.
00:43:30I never thought of that.
00:43:32Well, imagine you were...
00:43:35different.
00:43:38Ostracized.
00:43:39An outsider.
00:43:41Never allowed to participate in the grand pageant of life.
00:43:45What you'd want most is a way to fit in.
00:43:48To find a job.
00:43:50Get married.
00:43:51Be like everyone else.
00:43:54That's what we can give them.
00:43:57But when Deaf people talk...
00:44:00I mean, not talk, but to each other, they...
00:44:03They sign.
00:44:05Why do you want to learn it?
00:44:11Well...
00:44:11I've become...
00:44:13friends...
00:44:14with a former student here.
00:44:16James Hansen.
00:44:18I remember James.
00:44:20He could really take it to the hoop.
00:44:23He never learned to audiate well or to read lips, but...
00:44:27the pheasants kicked the stuffing out of the Flandro Indians...
00:44:30the year he led the team.
00:44:33Has he found his place in the world?
00:44:35I...
00:44:36I think he has.
00:44:39Good.
00:44:40I worry about them.
00:44:42So reliant on the kindness of others.
00:44:46Couldn't you teach me?
00:44:48Just a few signs.
00:44:50Hello, goodbye and thank you.
00:44:53Your desire to communicate with James is admirable.
00:44:57But I can't teach you any signs.
00:44:59Because I don't know any.
00:45:15Go get some mice.
00:45:17There's a capitula key.
00:45:20Hello.
00:45:21Excuse me.
00:45:24She went to the school nurse.
00:45:27Are you...
00:45:28Are you using sign language?
00:45:30Can you teach me?
00:45:32I'm not supposed to use sign language on school grad.
00:45:36But you use it somewhere else.
00:45:39I would like to communicate with a deaf friend of mine, respectfully.
00:45:44No one else in the town is deaf and he doesn't read lips.
00:45:47He should learn.
00:45:49Is that what you really think?
00:45:52I can't afford to get fired.
00:46:02Are you finished with work?
00:46:06Because I borrowed a friend's car to get here and we could go to a diner.
00:46:09And we'll get a meal and you can teach me whatever I can learn in a couple of hours.
00:46:14Deal?
00:46:57I just went to school.
00:47:02I just went to school.
00:47:05Um, your school.
00:47:08School.
00:47:11Go...
00:47:12Begy.
00:47:26Um.
00:47:30Deaf woman.
00:47:34Yes.
00:47:41Nice.
00:47:43All right.
00:47:50Nice.
00:47:55Um, good.
00:48:04Yes, please. Oh, please. I like that.
00:48:17Frog. Frog.
00:48:32Oh, B.O. Why, boy. Boy. Boy.
00:48:40Oh, dog. Dog.
00:48:42Oh, dog.
00:48:54Rooster. Rooster.
00:49:18Oh, dog.
00:49:33Bye.
00:49:45Bye.да
00:50:19Here we are.
00:50:27Lord, we thank you for them.
00:50:34He needs his hands to say grace.
00:50:37Oh.
00:50:41Lord, thank you for the man before us.
00:50:58I don't understand.
00:51:04I understand.
00:51:06I understand.
00:51:07I understand just fine.
00:51:08Amen.
00:51:10Amen.
00:51:12Don't keep those potatoes to yourself.
00:51:41Beautiful.
00:51:45What?
00:51:48Then, what's the sign?
00:51:54You don't know?
00:51:57Well, what does one do when one doesn't know the sign?
00:52:06You and me think.
00:52:10Sign.
00:52:13Okay.
00:52:19Cigarette? Match. You're throwing the matches.
00:52:23That's...
00:52:27Ugly.
00:52:31Okay.
00:52:36They're slow.
00:52:57That's...
00:52:57That's good.
00:53:02I had a good day.
00:53:05I...
00:53:07Had...
00:53:10Good.
00:53:15There.
00:53:17There.
00:53:30I'm driving.
00:53:40I don't understand.
00:53:46I had a good day, too.
00:54:11It's good.
00:54:15It's more than...
00:55:47I'm taking it back.
00:55:49The film is back on track.
00:55:52Convince James to continue being my cameraman.
00:55:55That's so good.
00:55:56He turns the most ordinary things into something unique.
00:56:04Yeah, the artist's touch.
00:56:06It's pretty cool.
00:56:07And mom, everyone is enjoying themselves so much.
00:56:11You should see Anna.
00:56:13She's blossoming.
00:56:14And you are going to love Dale's costume.
00:56:17Rosie.
00:56:18Yes?
00:56:20Would you come here?
00:56:24Yes?
00:56:49Okay.
00:56:52I've got you.
00:56:56Oh!
00:56:58Oh!
00:56:59Oh!
00:57:00Oh!
00:57:00Oh!
00:57:02Oh!
00:57:04Oh!
00:57:07Oh!
00:57:13Oh!
00:57:21What is that?
00:57:26It's a tumor.
00:57:29I have cancer in my breast.
00:57:34I think you're arthritis.
00:57:36It's the same as it ever was.
00:57:40I just didn't want to tell you.
00:57:51Well, they have treatments, surgery.
00:57:56They can cut it out, but it takes half the chest.
00:58:05Most women don't survive that surgery.
00:58:09And the rest can hardly stand up.
00:58:14Well, we have to do something.
00:58:18Honey.
00:58:22I think that for the first time in my life,
00:58:28I've earned the right to do absolutely nothing.
00:58:41I think that's important.
00:58:42Oh!
00:58:43Ah.
00:58:45Ah.
00:58:46Ah.
00:58:49Ah.
00:58:50Ah.
00:58:50Ah.
00:58:50Ah.
00:58:55Ah.
00:59:23I'm sorry to hear about your mother, Ms. Miller, but we agree that if you didn't return after three weeks,
00:59:29Ms. Jefferson would keep your position.
00:59:32You may have to return to the general pool, but that will be up to the office manager.
00:59:38Did you take those boxes of pictures back down to the basement?
00:59:42As soon as I'm back.
00:59:44I'll set my clock to that.
00:59:46Mom, you said you want me to finish the film, yes?
00:59:49I do. I do.
00:59:51Farmer's Almanac says we run out of light at 8.02 tonight. I will be home then.
01:00:01Farmer's Almanac.
01:00:06Marlon Brando lived in a veteran's hospital for weeks to play a paraplegic.
01:00:11Why?
01:00:11Method acting.
01:00:13You really live the truth of it all the time. We should try it.
01:00:18All the big movie stars are doing it.
01:00:21Oh, I'm game.
01:00:25So we act as if we're in love all the time.
01:00:27How do we do that?
01:00:47Rise. Yes.
01:01:12Let's take a break.
01:01:1415-minute break!
01:01:15Thank you, Jean.
01:01:17Should I follow you?
01:01:18No, you take a break too.
01:01:27Sure.
01:01:28Uh, yes.

01:02:31What are you doing?
01:02:33Please, everyone, get back to set.
01:02:35We have so much work to do.
01:02:37Please, come on.
01:02:39Come on.
01:02:40We are running out of time.
01:02:41I am running out of time.
01:02:44Please, please.
01:02:45We have so much work to do.
01:02:47We have to figure out what the next dance is gonna...
01:03:11It's beautiful.
01:03:56We have so much work to do.
01:03:58And we have to make some real fun.
01:03:59We have so many programs for high schoolers.
01:03:59And you can really like the rest of us.
01:04:00We have so many programs.
01:04:02Let's just do some right.
01:04:03I mean, in this space, I've just turned into an idea.
01:04:17Yeah, tell the story of this place.
01:04:28Tell the story of this place.
01:04:44All right, everyone, give James some space.
01:04:52James, action.
01:05:21James, action.
01:05:27James, action.
01:05:52Well, this should hold you for another week.
01:05:57Rose, dear, will you help me with where to put these?
01:06:00Just leave that there, and I'll get to them later.
01:06:03I just need you for a minute.
01:06:05In here.
01:06:22I noticed you've been spending a lot of time
01:06:24with the chaplain.
01:06:27James, his wonderful company.
01:06:30Be that as it may, he is deaf.
01:06:34I hadn't noticed.
01:06:36It's a serious defect, Rose.
01:06:39In my day, we did what was necessary
01:06:42to make sure that wasn't passed on.
01:06:44Like a gelding.
01:06:50Dear, Chaplain has a decent place in this community,
01:06:54with his business.
01:06:55But you should never be alone with him.
01:06:58Do you honestly think he'd attack me?
01:07:01Of course not.
01:07:04But you don't want to give the wrong impression
01:07:06to the real men in town
01:07:07you might actually want to marry.
01:07:13Now, there are casseroles in the icebox.
01:07:15I want you to make sure Pearl eats.
01:07:25I hope you're understanding.
01:07:28I need this by Monday.
01:07:31All right.
01:07:34Miss, please make sure he understands
01:07:36how important it is for Monday.
01:07:45I have an idea.
01:07:48You should put up a sign.
01:07:53Yeah, um, useful requests.
01:07:57Uh, phrases.
01:07:58Requests.
01:07:59And people come in and just point.
01:08:07Yeah.
01:08:08Uh, maybe, um, like a list.
01:08:12Uh, A.
01:08:13List.
01:08:15B.
01:08:17That.
01:08:18C.
01:08:28What?
01:08:37I-I just want to, uh, make it easier.
01:09:04I didn't mean...
01:09:10Uh-huh.
01:09:12Is that okay?
01:09:13Uh, you're watching us,
01:09:17you're watching us and watching.
01:09:24Uh, we're watching us.
01:09:30And, um, coming up right now.
01:09:34Ah, it's not fine.
01:09:40James.
01:09:42James.
01:09:46James.
01:09:57Rental.
01:09:59Repair.
01:10:01Camera.
01:10:03Projector.
01:10:05Paid.
01:10:05Cash.
01:10:43How's the afghan coming?
01:10:48Spirit's willing, but flesh is weak.
01:10:54Yeah, what's the matter?
01:10:57Having some trouble with my cameraman.
01:11:01It's all over now.
01:11:04Get that laundry done.
01:11:06Hey, honey.
01:11:08I've got 30 women in this town who can do my laundry and make hot casseroles and clean my kitchen.
01:11:17I only got one daughter.
01:11:24I'm sorry, Mom.
01:11:26I always try to do what I think is right.
01:11:30It's just not enough.
01:11:34Honey, if you're with me, that's enough.
01:11:41So you put the hook in the middle.
01:11:47Here.
01:11:48Yeah.
01:11:48Where the hole is good.
01:11:53I like this.
01:11:55Crocheting's very relaxing.
01:11:58No.
01:11:59Giving up.
01:12:01Do you want some advice?
01:12:03Of course.
01:12:05You didn't always.
01:12:07Well, you didn't usually ask me before delivering it.
01:12:12Fair enough.
01:12:15I'd love to know.
01:12:17All right.
01:12:18Close your eyes.
01:12:21Close your eyes.
01:12:28Imagine your picture of happiness.
01:12:32Anybody there?
01:12:35Are you alone?
01:12:38No.
01:12:41Who's there?
01:12:43You are.
01:12:48That's nice, but not forever.
01:12:58Anybody that you pick to stand next to you
01:13:01should have that same picture of happiness
01:13:03because if they don't,
01:13:05they're going to be in the business of changing you
01:13:07and you're going to be in the business of changing them
01:13:10and that is just not a profitable business.
01:13:15When did you get so smart?
01:13:18Ah, same time that you stopped knowing everything.
01:13:23Probably last week.
01:13:29Try it again.
01:13:30All right.
01:13:42What do you think is probably $50,000?
01:13:47We'll do you know.
01:13:48We'll be back to our roof.
01:13:48Claim the next day.
01:13:48Bye-bye.
01:13:48Bye-bye.
01:13:49Bye-bye.
01:13:54Bye-bye.
01:18:52You need to accept that I'm bossy.
01:19:08You...
01:19:11want a deaf woman.
01:19:25You want to move to the city?
01:19:28There's deaf people?
01:19:32Different...
01:19:34different jobs.
01:19:36Maybe...
01:19:37easier...
01:19:39for us?
01:19:59What can you imagine?
01:20:01Mm-hmm.
01:20:03Mm-hmm.
01:20:04Envision.
01:20:07Happiness.
01:20:09When do you...
01:20:10see?
01:20:14Close your eyes.
01:20:33And...
01:20:40You...
01:20:44...
01:20:45You're...
01:20:46to...
01:20:47You...
01:20:58you're...
01:22:20Hi, Rose.
01:22:29Give me your hand.
01:22:32Your mother and I first bought this color at Montgomery Wards when we were your age.
01:22:50Come to the barn tomorrow night.
01:22:52What's going on?
01:22:54You'll have to see.
01:22:56Bring a blanket.
01:23:23I hope you don't mind.
01:23:24I finished it.
01:23:26Movie?
01:23:34Everybody came.
01:23:52Good evening.
01:23:54Almost everyone here tonight gave us something so that we could make this movie.
01:23:57So grateful to all of you, but I'm most grateful to the woman who imagined it all, Rose Miller.
01:24:28Can I get some light, please?
01:24:33Oh, it's for my hands.
01:24:41My mother loved the movies.
01:24:46I think she loved sitting in the dark with emotions she wouldn't dare express in the light.
01:25:02I used to think she imagined herself as a character in a movie, that she wanted to exist in different
01:25:13lands, have amazing adventures.
01:25:29She loved watching the magic, but she loved watching the magic, but not as much as she loved being in
01:25:43the light of this place.
01:25:52I found her.
01:25:53This, this is where she loved.
01:26:05Um, let's watch the movie.
01:26:55Um, let's watch the movie.
01:26:57Um, let's watch the movie.
01:27:27Um, let's watch the movie.
01:27:57Um, let's watch the movie.
01:28:03Um, let's watch the movie.
