00:00:00It ain't so bad being a toy, nobody takes time to stop and think about what's important
00:00:25anymore.
00:00:26I got bigger fish to fry in Places to See.
00:00:57I lost my job in early January and things were very tense at home between Rita and me.
00:01:03I accidentally happened on an Eddie Ray fan club website where I met Sam, Dan, and Jane.
00:01:09They were all younger than me, but we all shared a love for Eddie Ray and the influence
00:01:13he had on that generation.
00:01:17My parents' generation.
00:01:19It was late May when we made the decision to visit Fairview, Indiana, Eddie Ray's hometown.
00:01:24We would all meet up in Indianapolis and then drive up to Fairview and spend a couple of
00:01:28days there.
00:01:30I would drive in from Cincinnati and the rest of the group would fly to Indianapolis.
00:01:36Four different people embarking on a journey in search of answers.
00:01:43There was Sam, who was trying to find himself.
00:01:49Just think about it, okay?
00:01:51I told you, there's nothing to think about.
00:01:54Sam, are you still going across the country on this wild goose chase?
00:01:57It's crazy.
00:01:58Those others, they're not our kind.
00:02:00You don't know anything about them.
00:02:02Going off to Indiana, your papa would roll over in his grave.
00:02:06Mom, calm down.
00:02:09Remember what your doctor said.
00:02:11Besides, I think Dad would be proud of me.
00:02:15Nothing good ever came out of Indiana, right Marvin?
00:02:18Dan Quayle.
00:02:20Dan Quayle, what a joke.
00:02:21What about your job?
00:02:22What does your boss think of this Meshugganah idea of yours?
00:02:25I'm only missing one day.
00:02:26And he worked extra last week.
00:02:28Sam, I'm just looking out for your well-being.
00:02:31I don't want anything to happen to my little boy chick.
00:02:34I've got to pick up Rose.
00:02:38Catch you later, Sam.
00:02:48I'll be fine.
00:02:53And there was Dan, still grieving over the tragic death of his young bride, Tabitha.
00:03:06Hello, Dan.
00:03:07Aaron.
00:03:14You know, I really hope Allah somehow spoke to you and convinced you to change your mind.
00:03:18Dan, I'm telling you, I have a very bad feeling about this.
00:03:20Dan, I'm telling you, I have a very bad feeling about this trip.
00:03:23Since when did you care for such things?
00:03:25You're a non-believer, remember?
00:03:27I'm only a realist.
00:03:29Okay, so what? I question everything.
00:03:31But my friend, I'm questioning you.
00:03:33I mean, you're traveling this great distance, and for what?
00:03:38Dan, I agree for Tabitha too.
00:03:41You know she was like a sister to me.
00:03:44But do you honestly believe that this Eddie Ray is going to help you?
00:03:48Dan, he's dead.
00:03:50And he's been dead for almost 50 years.
00:03:56Why are you doing this?
00:03:58Look, Aaron, I've told you, these are good people.
00:04:00They've helped me through my grief.
00:04:02Look, never mind.
00:04:05I'll call you later.
00:04:13Last there was Jay.
00:04:14Someone who pushed, prodded, and convinced all of us to go to Indiana during that hot August weekend.
00:04:26I still think of her.
00:04:32But I have a hard time remembering her.
00:04:35Well, honey, you were only five years old when we lost her.
00:04:38Just hold on to the memories you have.
00:04:41She loved you.
00:04:43So much.
00:04:48Dan, did mom know?
00:04:53I mean, back then?
00:04:58Honey, I don't know.
00:05:01But I believe she...
00:05:03I don't know.
00:05:04Honey, I don't know.
00:05:07But I believe she...
00:05:09Well, you know.
00:05:12Sorry.
00:05:16I got stuck in traffic.
00:05:35Okay.
00:05:37Time for me to leave.
00:05:39You be a good girl, alright?
00:05:41Can I go with you?
00:05:43Can you bring me back something?
00:05:45Sweetheart, I'm only going to be gone for three days.
00:05:47Maybe next time you can go with me.
00:05:49I know that you and mom are...
00:05:51Well, she's mad, but she'll get over it.
00:05:53Listen, I know things have been really difficult lately.
00:05:56But we both love you very much, and you know that.
00:05:59And deep down, we love each other.
00:06:01And that's what's important.
00:06:02I'll see you soon, okay?
00:06:04Alright.
00:06:32I'm screaming at everyone.
00:06:36I see you standing there.
00:06:39That look in your eyes.
00:06:42Oh, so innocent.
00:06:45But you are to blame.
00:06:50The things that you do to me...
00:06:53So you still plan on going to Indianapolis?
00:06:57God knows why you're too young to be going through male menopause.
00:07:01Look, don't run away from me.
00:07:03I'm not running away from you.
00:07:05But I don't have anything else to say.
00:07:07You just don't understand me.
00:07:09I don't think you've ever understood me.
00:07:12Understand?
00:07:14I gave up trying to understand you a long time ago.
00:07:19You have obligations here.
00:07:22You shouldn't be going off and screwing around with somebody younger than your own sister.
00:07:27Damn it, it's not that way at all.
00:07:28I can control myself.
00:07:30What about last year?
00:07:32When you and what's-
00:07:36Forget it.
00:07:40Rita, it's only for three days.
00:07:44Things are going to work out.
00:07:47You just have to trust me.
00:07:51You think that I'll forget, but you are wrong.
00:07:56I'll take it to the grave
00:07:59Which might not be so far away
00:08:02So far away
00:08:05Far away
00:08:12I've been stumbling around
00:08:15Report card's going to be good?
00:08:17You like your teachers?
00:08:19Yeah, I even told them that you're going to Eddie Ray's hometown.
00:08:22Cool, that's right, I leave tomorrow and I'll be gone all weekend.
00:08:24Have you ever been to Eddie Ray's hometown before?
00:08:26No, I never have, it'll be my first time.
00:08:28Yeah, did you ever watch his movies when you were a kid?
00:08:30Yeah, I remember watching his movies on television.
00:08:32But you know, he was popular even before I was born.
00:08:35Wow, I think he's so cool.
00:08:37I even think Mom likes him.
00:08:39He's so cute.
00:08:41Hey, I taped a special about him last night.
00:08:43Do you want to watch it?
00:08:45Yeah, do you want me to go get Mom?
00:08:47No, Mom's pretty busy.
00:08:49Maybe she can watch it later.
00:08:51Okay.
00:08:54Okay.
00:09:06Let's see here.
00:09:08How about...
00:09:12There we go.
00:09:14Fifty years ago, a young man from Fairview, Indiana,
00:09:17left the comforts of home to follow his dream and head for Hollywood,
00:09:21seeking fame and fortune.
00:09:23He realized that his life would be cut short
00:09:25by a tragic motorcycle accident,
00:09:27just as he was obtaining a measure of the admiration he was seeking,
00:09:31or that he would be credited with influencing young teenagers worldwide
00:09:35in the baby boomer pop culture scene for the next half century.
00:09:39Let's look at one of the most recognized and revered scenes
00:09:41from the history of the cinema from Rebel Without a Reason.
00:09:50Why'd this happen to us?
00:09:51I ain't a bad kid, am I?
00:09:53Ronnie, you're not bad. It's them.
00:09:56Sometimes I feel like...
00:09:58like no one trusts me.
00:10:00They treat me like a child, like I'm being suffocated.
00:10:02I hate them. They're all monsters.
00:10:04Ronnie, don't ever say you're bad.
00:10:06You're not bad to me.
00:10:09I never treat my kids like the way they treated me,
00:10:12or the way they treated that David.
00:10:14Poor kid.
00:10:16You know, the whole world is so messed up.
00:10:18Nobody takes time to stop and think about what's important anymore.
00:10:22They're so comfortable in their nice homes and nice jobs.
00:10:25It's all an illusion. None of it's real.
00:10:29It's like the whole world forgot how to love.
00:10:32Nobody cares about love anymore.
00:10:34Money's all they care about.
00:10:36Well, Ronnie, you're not like them.
00:10:38You know how to love.
00:10:40You're so nice,
00:10:42and strong,
00:10:44and gentle,
00:10:45and you've always accepted me for who I am.
00:10:48You've never treated me like a tramp.
00:10:54Betty, I swear,
00:10:56I'll never forget how to love.
00:11:15So, anyone hungry?
00:11:41I am starving.
00:11:43I couldn't eat that crap they serve on the plane.
00:11:45Unless everyone else is hungry.
00:11:48I can wait.
00:11:50I could go for some grub and a cup of coffee.
00:11:52Sure, I can use a bite.
00:11:54Great, I found this sandwich coffee shop kind of place on the internet.
00:11:57It's in an artsy neighborhood.
00:11:59Oh, yeah?
00:12:00Yeah, you know, theater district, art galleries, that kind of thing.
00:12:02Cool.
00:12:12I'm starving.
00:12:13I could not eat that crap.
00:12:27Are you excited?
00:12:29You know, about me on this trip.
00:12:32Yeah, I am.
00:12:34Normally, I'm not an impulsive person,
00:12:37but you're very persuasive.
00:12:41Well, I usually get my way.
00:12:44So, have you ever been to Indianapolis before?
00:12:47Yeah.
00:12:49I was here when I was a kid.
00:12:51A long time, gosh, 30 years ago.
00:12:54Anyway, this part of town was a lot different then.
00:12:57There were a lot of gypsies around.
00:12:59Really?
00:13:01What did they do?
00:13:03I have no idea.
00:13:05I was just a kid.
00:13:07Adam, you're a lot older than...
00:13:10I mean, so, how old are you?
00:13:15I'll be 36 this year.
00:13:18You look so much younger.
00:13:22So, Sam, tell me, how long have you been an Eddie Ray fan?
00:13:25Since I was about 13, I guess.
00:13:27That's when I saw Rebel Without a Reason.
00:13:29That was such a cool movie.
00:13:31It really rocked.
00:13:33You know, the grown-ups were so...
00:13:35What's the word?
00:13:37Square.
00:13:39It's hard to believe that our parents were the ones
00:13:41that grew up with those films,
00:13:43and they still ended up being so uptight.
00:13:45No, my dad never treated me like that.
00:13:47He was really understanding.
00:13:49My father wasn't. He was strict.
00:13:51He was also very traditional, you know, in the old ways.
00:13:54What do you mean, the old ways?
00:13:56Well, he was supposed to go back to Lebanon after he graduated,
00:13:58but he ended up marrying my mother instead.
00:14:02Was your mother Lebanese?
00:14:04No, she was English.
00:14:06And a Christian.
00:14:07Wow.
00:14:09Was your wife an Eddie Ray fan?
00:14:11My wife loved Eddie Ray.
00:14:13She was very Western in some ways.
00:14:16But it wasn't until she was killed
00:14:19that I started watching his movies.
00:14:22Anyway, now I'm here instead of back in New York working.
00:14:26At least you have a job.
00:14:28Nowadays, with the way the economy is,
00:14:30marketing types like me are a dime a dozen.
00:14:33Well, I can't be fired because I have my own business.
00:14:35I mean, if my business isn't doing well,
00:14:37I don't have to worry about making payroll.
00:14:39I just don't pay myself.
00:14:41But listen, my friend, things will improve.
00:14:44You'll find a job and my business will grow.
00:14:47God will.
00:14:50Anyway, Jane, tell me, I can't remember,
00:14:53did your dad ever remarry?
00:14:55No.
00:14:57So, where to now?
00:15:00Would you mind if we drove to the track?
00:15:02I've always wanted to see it.
00:15:04That's cool.
00:15:26Yeah.
00:15:57So, was it what you expected?
00:16:00I wish my father could have seen it.
00:16:03He was a big race fan.
00:16:05I remember we used to listen to the race on the radio
00:16:08when I was a kid.
00:16:10Really?
00:16:12Yeah, but he never made it up to me.
00:16:14He was a big fan.
00:16:16He was a big fan.
00:16:18He was a big fan.
00:16:20He was a big fan.
00:16:22He was a big fan.
00:16:24He was a big fan.
00:16:26He grew up here.
00:16:28He died so young.
00:16:30Anyway, did you enjoy seeing the track?
00:16:33Yeah, I guess.
00:16:35I'm not a big race fan.
00:16:37It was bigger than I thought it'd be.
00:16:39You know, Dan, you should come back in May
00:16:42and, you know, see the race.
00:16:44Yeah.
00:16:46We better head to Fairview.
00:16:48We've got to take the back roads to get there.
00:16:56Okay.
00:17:08You okay?
00:17:10Yeah.
00:17:12I just don't like to sit in one place for a long time.
00:17:16I'll be fine.
00:17:18Don't worry about me.
00:17:26Sam?
00:17:29Yeah?
00:17:31Come on in.
00:17:35Where's your mom?
00:17:37Mom's out shopping.
00:17:39So?
00:17:42So...
00:17:45So what?
00:17:47You know what we talked about.
00:17:50About what happened the other night.
00:17:52That again.
00:17:54We've been through this.
00:17:56I think we're all mama's tired.
00:17:58So Marvin, how are you?
00:18:00How is your beautiful, unattached sister
00:18:02that doesn't have a date Friday night?
00:18:04Mom, stop.
00:18:06No, it's not right.
00:18:08You sit in front of that computer all day,
00:18:10ruining your eyesight.
00:18:12And those pictures you look at,
00:18:14you know you should be going out
00:18:16with a nice, attractive girl.
00:18:18Rose is going to make some lucky man
00:18:20a very nice wife.
00:18:22Mother, please.
00:18:24Sam, a good-looking boy like you
00:18:26doesn't belong in those bars you go to.
00:18:28In those places, all you're going to find
00:18:30is a bunch of whores.
00:18:32I didn't raise you to go out with whores.
00:18:34Oh yeah, well you don't know anything about me.
00:18:42Dan?
00:18:44Back at lunch.
00:18:46You know when you asked me
00:18:48if my dad would be married?
00:18:50Well, he's gay.
00:18:52Has been as far back as I can remember.
00:18:54Oh.
00:18:56And well, my dad's African-American.
00:18:58What?
00:19:00I thought I was weird with a Jewish mother
00:19:02and a German Methodist father.
00:19:04Well, my mother was Asian.
00:19:06They met when my dad was in the service.
00:19:08Was your dad in Vietnam?
00:19:10Yes, but my mom was an American.
00:19:12Her family came to San Francisco
00:19:14before the Second World War.
00:19:16They were prisoners
00:19:18at the Amache intern camp in Colorado.
00:19:21Wow.
00:19:23Now here's a clip
00:19:25from the star-studded movie
00:19:27The Very Tall Texan.
00:19:29Look Tommy, I ain't trying to butt in,
00:19:31but you've got to stay away from them Farleys.
00:19:34You don't belong up in that big fancy house.
00:19:36It's only going to bring you trouble.
00:19:38Them people don't care about folks like us.
00:19:41We're just like something they own.
00:19:43It ain't right thinking you can mix with them.
00:19:46I seen you sniffing around that Marianne.
00:19:49Boy, you ain't nothing but a tuxedo.
00:19:50Boy, you ain't nothing but a toy to her.
00:19:53Her old man finds out what's going on,
00:19:55he's going to shoot you in the back
00:19:57and claim you drawed first.
00:19:59Look pops,
00:20:01it's none of your damn business.
00:20:03It ain't so bad being a toy.
00:20:05Ain't my problem, Frank ain't man enough to satisfy her.
00:20:08Boy, you're headed for trouble.
00:20:10I'm only trying to help you out.
00:20:12That Marianne's going to drop you like a hot potato.
00:20:14Worse, she'll say that you forced yourself on her
00:20:16and then they'll lynch you.
00:20:18Tommy, you're a good kid,
00:20:20you know how to stay with your own kind.
00:20:22That's just the way it is.
00:20:24Pops,
00:20:26I don't plan on being a cow puncher the rest of my life.
00:20:28I got bigger fish to fry and places to see.
00:20:31There's more to the world than this damn ranch.
00:20:40Is there a quicker way?
00:20:43Nope.
00:20:45Welcome to the Midwest.
00:20:47A million small towns in the middle of nowhere.
00:20:50Damn!
00:20:56You okay?
00:20:58Yeah, I'm fine.
00:21:00You guys should watch where you're going.
00:21:02Someone could get hurt.
00:21:04Oh my god, is everything alright?
00:21:06Very lucky, my friend.
00:21:08Yeah, lucky so, I've been told.
00:21:10What the hell are you doing out here in the middle of nowhere?
00:21:12I could ask you guys the same question.
00:21:14As a matter of fact, I will.
00:21:16We're going to Fairview.
00:21:18You know, the hometown of Fairview?
00:21:20Sure, I'm Jane.
00:21:22I'm Sam and it's Dan and...
00:21:24I'm Adam, the distracted driver.
00:21:26Okay, you guys ready to roll?
00:21:28You mind if I sit up front?
00:21:30No, go ahead.
00:21:32What did you say your name was again?
00:21:34Some folks call me Roy.
00:21:51So Dan, you're Lebanese?
00:21:54No, I'm American.
00:21:57My father was Lebanese.
00:21:59Did you ever get back to Lebanon?
00:22:02No, you see...
00:22:04My father was Muslim, but my mother was Christian.
00:22:07That must have been challenging.
00:22:09It was.
00:22:11For six months I would go to church with my mother.
00:22:13Then I would go to church with my father.
00:22:15And then I would go to church with my mother.
00:22:17And then I would go to church with my father.
00:22:18For six months I would go to church with my mother.
00:22:20And for six months I would go to mosque with my father.
00:22:23Really?
00:22:25Yes. My father, he was...
00:22:27He was strict, but...
00:22:29He was also very cunning.
00:22:31In what way?
00:22:33Well...
00:22:35Before my 16th birthday, he told me I needed to decide
00:22:38whether I wanted to be Christian or Muslim.
00:22:41So, uh, on our way to buy this old car for me, he...
00:22:45He said it would be a great car to drive to mosque.
00:22:48And?
00:22:50Pretty much got the message and became a Muslim.
00:22:53What did your wife think about you going on this little junket?
00:22:57Um, well...
00:22:59Well, my wife, she was, uh...
00:23:01She was killing the convenience store hold-up.
00:23:04Almost a year.
00:23:08Did you catch the guy who did it?
00:23:10Yeah.
00:23:12He was some...
00:23:14Some dumb kid looking for money to buy some more dope.
00:23:16Damn junkies.
00:23:18No. I mean...
00:23:20I felt that way at first, but...
00:23:22We just started hanging out with the wrong crowd.
00:23:25That's too bad.
00:23:27Sometimes life is really unfair.
00:23:36Dane, you must let go of your grief and move on.
00:23:39I hate seeing you so depressed.
00:23:41I just blame myself for making Tabitha work.
00:23:45If my business would have been better or...
00:23:47Or if she would have gotten that teaching job,
00:23:49she'd still be with us.
00:23:51You must put this tragedy behind you.
00:23:54And move on.
00:23:56Tabitha would want that.
00:23:58Maybe you should start seeing other people.
00:24:02You know, meet other women.
00:24:04Go out.
00:24:05I just can't.
00:24:07I would feel like I betrayed her.
00:24:09Not right now.
00:24:11Listen, Dan.
00:24:13Each day you grieve is a day lost.
00:24:17You must accept the past and embrace the future.
00:24:21Do you want to honor her?
00:24:23Honor her by living your life.
00:24:26All in good time.
00:24:28All in good time.
00:24:30All in good time.
00:24:32All in good time.
00:24:33All in good time.
00:24:42Stop! Pull it! Pull it here!
00:24:44Do it!
00:24:57Damn you!
00:24:59You're not getting better!
00:25:01Damn you!
00:25:04Hey!
00:25:06What are you doing out here?
00:25:08We don't open for a couple of hours.
00:25:10I'm sorry, sir.
00:25:12I don't know what's going on here.
00:25:14You the manager?
00:25:16Yeah, and I'm also the owner.
00:25:18Dad opened this theater back in 49.
00:25:20So, where are you folks from?
00:25:22From all over.
00:25:24I'm from Cincinnati. The lady's from San Francisco.
00:25:26One of the guys is from Florida.
00:25:28And the other one's from New Jersey.
00:25:30I don't know where Roy's from.
00:25:31Where are you headed?
00:25:33We're heading to Fairview. Are we getting close?
00:25:35It's just up the road.
00:25:37You know, this drive-in's where all the kids from Fairview would come in the 50s and 60s.
00:25:40Nowadays, they all play computer games or rent movies.
00:25:43I don't know how much longer I can keep the theater going.
00:25:46You know, there's not very many drive-ins left around.
00:25:49But we've been open since 49.
00:25:51Except for that time after them kids were killed.
00:25:54My dad felt real bad about the accident, so he closed earlier that year.
00:25:57You know, usually we close at the end of October.
00:25:59That year he closed in August.
00:26:01Wow. What happened?
00:26:04I don't remember exactly.
00:26:06I was just a little boy at the time.
00:26:08But the story is that these kids came to see Rebel Without a Reason.
00:26:11And they'd been drinking.
00:26:13And left the theater, got into a terrible car wreck, and were killed.
00:26:16Gosh.
00:26:18It was back in 1958.
00:26:20Well, you folks enjoy your visit.
00:26:23Thanks, I appreciate it. Take care.
00:26:27You mind telling me what that was all about?
00:26:29Don't worry about it.
00:26:31Okay.
00:26:36Alright.
00:26:45Hey, why don't we stop and get something to eat?
00:27:02Don't you have a place to stay?
00:27:04Don't worry about me, I'll be fine.
00:27:06Why don't you stay with us?
00:27:08We have three rooms reserved.
00:27:10That's okay, isn't it?
00:27:12Okay. You guys go check in, and I'll wait out here.
00:27:26Hello, can I help you?
00:27:28Yes, we have three rooms reserved.
00:27:29Under the name Jane Mystic.
00:27:31I have been trying to reach you all day, sweetheart.
00:27:33We only have two rooms left.
00:27:35What?
00:27:37See, the pork producers, they're meeting over in Goodlington.
00:27:40The county seat.
00:27:42And, well, they ran out of rooms.
00:27:44So we get their overflow.
00:27:46We have a contract with the county.
00:27:48There was nothing I could do.
00:27:50I'm sorry.
00:27:52So, well, I managed to save you two rooms.
00:27:55But I had a reservation.
00:27:56All right.
00:27:58We have five people now.
00:28:00What are we going to do?
00:28:02Well, I thought you might pick up an extra person.
00:28:05So one of the rooms that I saved is our mini suite.
00:28:08On one side, there's a king-size bed.
00:28:11And on the other side, there's a sofa bed.
00:28:13And a cot.
00:28:15The second room has two queen-size beds.
00:28:17So, see, there's room enough for five people.
00:28:20All right. Come here, guys.
00:28:22I don't think there's much we can do here.
00:28:25Jane, Roy, and myself will take the suite.
00:28:28Sam, you and Den take the other room.
00:28:30All right?
00:28:32Okay. Who will sleep where?
00:28:34You take the bed.
00:28:36We'll put Roy on the cot.
00:28:38And I'll sleep on the sofa bed in the other room.
00:28:40I'm responsible for Roy being with us.
00:28:42And we don't know anything about the guys.
00:28:44So I'd like to keep you guys busy.
00:28:46All right.
00:28:48All right.
00:28:49I don't know anything about the guys.
00:28:51So I'd like to keep him where I can see him.
00:28:53Fine with me.
00:28:55Sure. We were going to share a room anyway.
00:28:57Jane?
00:28:59Sure. That's okay.
00:29:01I feel responsible for asking Roy to stay with us.
00:29:03I'm sorry.
00:29:05Don't worry about it.
00:29:07Let's just all get some rest.
00:29:15Hey, did you notice anything strange about the town back there?
00:29:17No.
00:29:19What do you ask?
00:29:21I don't know. There's not much to the town.
00:29:23But maybe it's just a feeling.
00:29:25Whatever.
00:29:28So, have you ever dated any women?
00:29:31Or have you always been gay?
00:29:33Look, I'm not gay, okay?
00:29:35I've been with plenty of women.
00:29:37They beg for mercy.
00:29:39Why would you even ask that?
00:29:41Come on. I saw the way you were looking at that guy back there at the track.
00:29:43That's not the way that someone who's straight looks at another man.
00:29:44So I notice one good-looking guy, and all of a sudden I'm a homosexual.
00:29:48Come on, Dan. I didn't think you'd be so judgmental.
00:29:52All I'm saying is life's full of difficult choices.
00:29:55Remember that story I told you about having to choose between being Christian and Muslim?
00:29:59Think about it.
00:30:01Well, I...
00:30:03So, did you ever regret your decision?
00:30:07Sometimes I used to wonder.
00:30:10That is, until I met Tabitha in college.
00:30:11She was a modern Muslim, but she would have never considered marrying me if I were Christian.
00:30:15Really?
00:30:17Yeah. I mean...
00:30:19Sometimes I believe that once we make that defining decision in life,
00:30:23our die is cast, and we have very little control over our destiny.
00:30:28Well, I don't think things are set in stone.
00:30:31You can always change your mind.
00:30:34Well, my friend, I hope you're right.
00:30:37Well, my friend, I hope you're right.
00:30:41Yeah, I hope you're right.
00:30:44Well...
00:30:46Good night, man. Good night.
00:30:53Oh, sorry.
00:30:55Oh, come on.
00:30:57I can't see someone in the bathroom before.
00:31:04Need to pee?
00:31:07Yes.
00:31:10Where's Roy?
00:31:12He wasn't here when I started my shower, and his bed's still made.
00:31:17I don't know. He wasn't in the room when I went to sleep last night either.
00:31:21Maybe he went for a walk or something.
00:31:23Anyway, what's the plan?
00:31:25I'll call Sam and see if those guys are ready for some breakfast.
00:31:28In what, 15 minutes?
00:31:30Yeah, that sounds pretty good.
00:31:32No, wait. Actually, make it 20 minutes, okay?
00:31:35You got it.
00:31:37Thanks.
00:31:45Up in the country, the day the spreader broke, we went to town for parts.
00:31:51I and my neighbor, a man of furrowed years,
00:31:54knowing every mile of corn and beans along the road like so many freckles on his arm,
00:31:59whether good soil or bad, and how the drainage was.
00:32:02I knew John Deere tires as big as a box.
00:32:05Leave me in heaven.
00:32:07It's a good west. It's a good place to get them.
00:32:10I like eggs over easy, toast, bacon, you know, the regular breakfast thing.
00:32:16Hey, Roy.
00:32:18Hey. You guys going to sleep your life away?
00:32:20We were going to get something to eat. Like to join us?
00:32:23I've already eaten.
00:32:25Come on, have some more coffee.
00:32:27Sure. But let's see what the poet has to say first.
00:32:31Fuck.
00:32:38Soybeans.
00:32:40The October air was warm and musky, blowing over brown fields,
00:32:44heavy with the fragrance of freshly combined beans, the breath of harvest.
00:32:49He was pulling a truckload onto the scales at the elevator near the rail siding north of town
00:32:54when a big Cadillac drove up.
00:32:56A man stepped out, wearing a three-piece suit and a gold pinky ring.
00:33:01The man said he had just invested a hundred grand in soybeans and wanted to see what they looked like.
00:33:06The farmer stared at the man and was quiet,
00:33:09reaching for the tobacco in the rear pocket of his jeans where he wore his only ring,
00:33:14a threadbare circle rubbed by working cans of dip and long hours on the backside of a hundred-acre run.
00:33:20He scooped up a handful of small white beans, the pearls of the prairie, saying,
00:33:25Soybeans look like a foot of water on the field in April when you're ready to plant and can't get in.
00:33:31Like three kids at the kitchen table eating macaroni and cheese five nights in a row.
00:33:36Or like a broken part on the combine when your credit with the implement dealer is nearly tapped.
00:33:41Soybeans look like prayers bouncing off the ceiling when prices on the Chicago grain market start to drop.
00:33:47Or like your old man's tears when you tell him how much the land might bring for subdivisions.
00:33:52Soybeans look like the first good night of sleep in weeks when you unload at the elevator and the kids get Christmas.
00:33:58He spat a little juice on the tire of the Cadillac, laughing to spite himself and saying to the man,
00:34:04Now maybe you can tell me what a hundred grand looks like.
00:34:07I found out how to get to the museum. I go out to the main road and turn left and go four blocks and then take a right and it's supposed to be on the corner there.
00:34:36So it should be no problem.
00:34:38Hi, y'all with the pork producers?
00:34:40No, we're just visiting. I'm from New Jersey.
00:34:43I'm from Gotta Big One. You want to see?
00:34:45Sam, you'll have to excuse my friend. He's from South Florida. Lack of ocean water has affected his brain.
00:34:51Right.
00:34:53Oh, that's all right. I can see I got the wrong kind of plumbing for such a big man anyhow.
00:34:56Yeah, well, you're nuts. Besides, what does some pig farmer from Hicksville know about anything anyway?
00:35:02Stop it. Settle down.
00:35:03What?
00:35:05Dan's not interested in her. He's got the hots for that waitress over at the coffee shop. What's her name? Barbara?
00:35:12Jesus, Sam, what is it with you?
00:35:14Women should be treated with respect.
00:35:16Like an exquisite flower?
00:35:18Fine, I'm sorry.
00:35:20Hey, Roy.
00:35:22There's nothing I like better in a good pissing contest, except maybe a good drag race. What about it, Dan?
00:35:28What about what?
00:35:29You and me and those two rods out on the street. A race to the finish. Mano a mano.
00:35:34We can't just take those cars.
00:35:36Sure we can. I've talked to the owners and they said it's fine.
00:35:39Anyway, I told them you're an up-and-coming Indy race car driver and I'm Fireball Robbins.
00:35:44You don't know much about drag racing, do you? What about it, Dan?
00:35:48I can't race you. What if we wreck the cars or if we get hurt?
00:35:51Come on, let's do it. Loser buys the first round tonight.
00:35:54You're nuts. Why would I want to race you?
00:35:56Why not? What else is there to do?
00:35:57Why are you taunting me? What did I ever do to you?
00:36:00Everything.
00:36:02I can't race you.
00:36:04Look, your old man would be out on the car revving it up by now.
00:36:08Hell, he's probably looking down on you ready to disown you right now.
00:36:13Unless you're chicken.
00:36:15Leave him out of this. I'm not afraid of you. You want to race me? To the finish? Fine, let's do it.
00:36:21Let's do it. The old drag strip south of town.
00:36:24Good luck, Dan!
00:36:25Do you think they'll be okay? I mean, do they know what they're doing?
00:36:29I sure as hell hope so.
00:36:31Ready? On your mark, get set, go!
00:36:56Where'd you learn to drive like that?
00:36:58I've been around. It's good to know I can still be the pro, though.
00:37:01Wait a minute, how'd you know I used to race?
00:37:03Well, you told me your father used to love racing and he bought you a car when you were 16, so I just put two and two together.
00:37:10So, why did you quit?
00:37:12Well, you know, my wife, Tabitha, after my accident, she told me that I was a bad driver.
00:37:17And I didn't want to be a bad driver.
00:37:19So I quit.
00:37:20So, why did you quit?
00:37:22Well, you know, my wife, Tabitha, after my accident, she told me that I was a bad driver.
00:37:26And I didn't want to be a bad driver.
00:37:28And I didn't want to be a bad driver.
00:37:32So how do you feel? How do you feel right now?
00:37:35Oh my God, I feel just amazing. It's like a huge weight has been lifted off my back. I haven't felt this good since just before she died.
00:37:44God, that was incredible! Wow!
00:37:47Unbelievable!
00:37:48God, great.
00:37:50Outstanding.
00:37:52Let's tell Barbara, the waitress back at the restaurant, that Dan won the race.
00:37:58No, come on guys, we'll just tell her that I lost just by a hair and she'll feel bad for me.
00:38:02Why do I get the feeling that you're going to get... whatever, way to go.
00:38:05See you guys back at the restaurant.
00:38:07Alright, cool.
00:38:18I'm so tired, I'm so weary. The day has been so long. I'm ready to go.
00:38:37Oh please, set me free. Oh please, set me free from these chains that are holding me.
00:38:51Was a time, was a place that I saw the light. Now I'm down on my knees.
00:39:02Oh please, set me free. Oh please, set me free from these bonds that are holding me.
00:39:16Let me roll, roll, roll away. Let me roll, roll away.
00:39:23Let me sing, sing, sing away. Let me sing, sing away.
00:39:28Let me roll, roll, roll away. Let me roll, roll away.
00:39:34Let me sing, sing, sing away. Let me sing, sing away.
00:39:39Let me roll, roll. Let me roll, roll. Let me roll, roll. Let me roll away.
00:39:54God bless you. I made my day.
00:40:00Say listen guys, I've got something to do tonight so I won't see you folks until breakfast.
00:40:05That is, unless you sleep till lunch time.
00:40:07You need a ride?
00:40:08Nope. So tomorrow we're going to the museum and the gravesite, right?
00:40:12That's the plan.
00:40:13See you guys later.
00:40:14See ya.
00:40:16You know, I wonder where he goes at night. It's like he's a reverse vampire or something.
00:40:20Out of sight before the moon rises.
00:40:23Vampire? Sam, you have quite an imagination.
00:40:36Cheers.
00:40:44Shower feels good after a hot day.
00:40:52Cheers.
00:41:02Jane.
00:41:07Why did you really come here?
00:41:12You're starting to sound like Roy.
00:41:20I don't know.
00:41:27Things just haven't been right at home for a while.
00:41:33I should move out. You know?
00:41:37Get my own place.
00:41:43Then I broke up with Floyd.
00:41:47My boyfriend.
00:41:50Or ex-boyfriend.
00:41:58I'm not in the mood right now.
00:42:01I don't need to have sex all the time.
00:42:04Yeah, like I haven't heard that from you before.
00:42:09It's not just the sex, Jane.
00:42:11It was like you were somewhere else during dinner tonight.
00:42:14I've got a lot on my mind.
00:42:17Well, like what?
00:42:20You don't understand.
00:42:23You're right. I don't understand. I can't. You won't even let me in.
00:42:29Look, maybe it'd just be easier if we didn't see each other anymore.
00:42:34Life is too short for all this aggravation.
00:42:38I'm gonna get something to drink. Leave your key on the way out.
00:42:45He was just too...
00:42:50immature.
00:42:58I'm sorry.
00:43:29I'm gonna get some more wine.
00:43:32Alright?
00:43:58I'm sorry.
00:44:28I'm sorry.
00:44:59So?
00:45:05It was nice.
00:45:29I'll be right back.
00:45:38So, cat got your tongue?
00:45:42No, I'm fine.
00:45:44No.
00:45:47Okay.
00:45:49You missed breakfast.
00:45:50I've already eaten.
00:45:55You guys ready to go?
00:45:56Yeah.
00:45:59Hey, why don't you stay with me for a minute?
00:46:02Sure.
00:46:04Okay, well, let's meet at the museum in half an hour?
00:46:07Yes. Make it an hour. I've got some things I want to do.
00:46:11Okay.
00:46:13Let's go.
00:46:25I should have known better.
00:46:26I mean, he's married.
00:46:28It's not a disease, you know.
00:46:29Well, he has a daughter. I'm just so...
00:46:33Look, what happened happens.
00:46:36And I'm sure he feels the same way, so don't worry about it.
00:46:40I'm not some slam-bam, thank you, ma'am type of person.
00:46:42Of course not.
00:46:44And I'm sure Adam doesn't think that way, so...
00:46:48I don't know.
00:46:50I just wish I could get my life straightened out.
00:46:53What do you mean?
00:46:57My dad tells me I should crawl out of my shell.
00:47:02Well, you can't crawl out of your shell unless you know what's keeping you stuck, so...
00:47:10What are you afraid of?
00:47:11Nothing.
00:47:14Look, Jane.
00:47:16Something's bugging you.
00:47:21Tell me about your mother.
00:47:26There's not much to tell.
00:47:28I don't remember her.
00:47:30But you do.
00:47:31What?
00:47:33What happened that night.
00:47:39I don't know what you're talking about.
00:47:48I was five years old.
00:47:53A loud voice woke me up.
00:47:57It was you.
00:48:00You!
00:48:01How could you?
00:48:03Why did you marry me like I'm a child?
00:48:05Calm down!
00:48:06It's not even about you.
00:48:07Who would have thought we were another woman?
00:48:09You're sick.
00:48:11Why did you do this to me?
00:48:14No!
00:48:16No, Steve!
00:48:18No!
00:48:24You bitch.
00:48:26I'm sorry.
00:48:29I thought I would change after we were married and Jane was born.
00:48:34Please forgive me.
00:48:36Please.
00:48:40I'm so sorry.
00:48:43I didn't mean to hurt you.
00:48:50She ran outside.
00:48:53We got to the car.
00:48:57She wasn't a very good driver anyway.
00:49:03Dad went out to borrow a neighbor's car.
00:49:10But before he could leave,
00:49:15the police called.
00:49:17And then she said that she was in an accident.
00:49:22And that he killed her.
00:49:28Dad didn't do that for his life.
00:49:37He killed her.
00:49:42It was his fault.
00:49:46And I hate him.
00:49:48And I hate him.
00:49:52Oh, Steve.
00:49:55You need to call your dad and talk to him about this.
00:49:57No way!
00:49:59Steve.
00:50:02I hate him.
00:50:08Don't say anything you might regret.
00:50:11You should let him have it.
00:50:12Tomorrow to apologize.
00:50:13Steve.
00:50:43Hello?
00:50:45Dad?
00:50:47Honey?
00:50:48Are you okay?
00:50:49No, I'm not okay.
00:50:51I'm pissed off.
00:50:53Why didn't you tell me Mom ran off that night crying
00:50:55because she found out you were a faggot?
00:50:57Watch your mouth!
00:51:00How could you call me that?
00:51:03I'm sorry.
00:51:05I'm sorry.
00:51:07I'm sorry.
00:51:09I'm sorry.
00:51:11I'm sorry.
00:51:13Don't say that.
00:51:14Don't change the subject.
00:51:16You killed Mom.
00:51:18You murdered her.
00:51:21Why?
00:51:23Why?
00:51:24Jane, I didn't kill her.
00:51:28I loved her.
00:51:31It's just I couldn't love her the way she needed to be.
00:51:36How did you find this out?
00:51:38I was there.
00:51:40I saw the fight.
00:51:43I watched her storm out the door.
00:51:50I was...
00:51:51I was up.
00:51:56Why?
00:51:57Why?
00:52:00Why did this happen?
00:52:03I didn't get to know her.
00:52:04Jane, no.
00:52:06Please, honey.
00:52:07Slow down.
00:52:09Take some deep breaths.
00:52:10Deep breaths.
00:52:12Tell me you're okay.
00:52:14Deep breaths.
00:52:18Daddy.
00:52:23Jane.
00:52:25I'm sorry I didn't tell you.
00:52:30I guess I was trying to protect you.
00:52:33I'm...
00:52:36I'm...
00:52:39Am I?
00:52:40I mean...
00:52:42You're my real dad.
00:52:44Aren't you?
00:52:45Yes, honey.
00:52:46I am your real dad.
00:52:49Oh.
00:52:52Your mom must have...
00:52:55You know, done it.
00:52:57What happened?
00:52:58Jane, I wanted to spare you this.
00:53:02But now...
00:53:05I've got to tell you something.
00:53:09It's gonna hurt you.
00:53:11But Jane, you know I love you.
00:53:19Well...
00:53:21You...
00:53:24Were an accident.
00:53:26What?
00:53:28Jane.
00:53:30I did love your mother.
00:53:32But we never made love except once.
00:53:35After a New Year's party.
00:53:42I was very drunk.
00:53:43I don't remember much of what happened.
00:53:47But...
00:53:50I believe you're...
00:53:51I believe you're...
00:53:55Oh God, this is so difficult for me to say.
00:54:00I believe...
00:54:01She took advantage of the fact...
00:54:04That I was drunk.
00:54:05And she was able to excite me.
00:54:08I don't understand.
00:54:12You mean, you and mom never had sex except for this one time?
00:54:16That's right.
00:54:18I couldn't get aroused.
00:54:20I thought it would pass.
00:54:21I even went to see a doctor.
00:54:24Which is ironic because...
00:54:26That's where I met Bill.
00:54:28He was a year older than I was.
00:54:31He invited me to his house for a drink and...
00:54:35One thing led to another and...
00:54:38Soon we were in bed.
00:54:41That's...
00:54:43That's when I found out I was gay.
00:54:46I was very confused back then.
00:54:48Very unsure of what to do.
00:54:51I had made this commitment to your mom.
00:54:56Things were different.
00:54:58You know...
00:55:00At work and everywhere.
00:55:02Daddy.
00:55:04I'm sorry.
00:55:06I mean what I said.
00:55:09What happened to Bill?
00:55:12After the accident, I stopped seeing him.
00:55:14I wanted to spend my energy trying to raise you.
00:55:17Jane, I'm...
00:55:19Daddy.
00:55:21I love you.
00:55:23I'll always love you.
00:55:25I love you, sweetheart.
00:55:31Jane.
00:55:33How's the trip going?
00:55:35It's great.
00:55:37Weird, you know.
00:55:39The other guys are great.
00:55:44I'll call you when I get back.
00:55:49I love you.
00:55:50Bye.
00:55:52Goodbye, sweetheart.
00:56:00Is she okay?
00:56:02Yeah.
00:56:04She's fine.
00:56:08I...
00:56:10I should have told her sooner.
00:56:12But she knows now.
00:56:14I'm sorry.
00:56:45Hey.
00:56:46I just saw Jane in the alley.
00:56:47Is she okay?
00:56:49She'll be fine.
00:56:52You look like you could use another cup of coffee.
00:56:54We'll miss the others.
00:56:55It's almost time to meet them at the museum.
00:56:57It's Sunday.
00:56:58The museum doesn't open until noon.
00:57:00Okay.
00:57:09Why didn't you mention it being Sunday?
00:57:12Why didn't you mention it being Sunday earlier?
00:57:14You know, when we were all here having breakfast?
00:57:18To tell you the truth,
00:57:19I was trying to figure out what day it is myself.
00:57:21But...
00:57:23Time marches on.
00:57:24You're a strange dude, you know that?
00:57:26Sometimes I wonder.
00:57:28Yeah, I've heard that before.
00:57:31So?
00:57:33When are you going to come out?
00:57:36What is it with everyone?
00:57:38First the towelhead, now you?
00:57:39I'm not gay, okay?
00:57:45Maybe I'm...
00:57:47a little bisexual.
00:57:49You know, kind of gay.
00:57:51You mean like being kind of pregnant?
00:57:54Kind of gay my ass.
00:57:56Look.
00:57:57No one's going to love you
00:57:59unless you can learn to love yourself.
00:58:03And you can't love yourself unless you accept yourself.
00:58:06Don't you understand?
00:58:08You're a gay man.
00:58:09You're still a man.
00:58:11You're just gay.
00:58:13Anyway.
00:58:15Just trust your instincts.
00:58:17If your friends have a problem with you being gay,
00:58:19then screw them.
00:58:22And your mom.
00:58:24Just give your mom some time.
00:58:26She'll always love you.
00:58:29What else matters?
00:58:31What else matters?
00:58:33About what?
00:58:34What else matters?
00:58:36About my job?
00:58:37The people I know?
00:58:39No.
00:58:40You don't have to wear a poster
00:58:41and you don't have to tell the whole world.
00:58:45Stop lying to yourself
00:58:47and the people who are most important to you.
00:58:52It's that easy?
00:58:54No.
00:58:56It's not easy.
00:58:58It's damn hard.
00:59:01No one said that life is easy or
00:59:03that life is fair.
00:59:05You just play the cards that you're dealt.
00:59:09Sam.
00:59:16You have something you want to tell me?
00:59:27I'm gay.
00:59:31Yeah.
00:59:33I'm gay.
00:59:35See, that didn't kill you, did it?
00:59:38Let's go find the others at the museum, alright?
00:59:52There you guys are.
00:59:54We're heading to the gravesite.
00:59:55The museum doesn't open for another hour.
00:59:57You guys go on.
00:59:59I was there this morning.
01:00:01Hey, I'll meet everyone at the museum, okay?
01:00:02Alright, see ya.
01:00:04Hey guys, hold up.
01:00:06I have something I have to say.
01:00:10I'm gay.
01:00:12Surprise, surprise.
01:00:14Good for you. Let's go.
01:00:32Based on Sid Baysway's award-winning novel Southwest of Paradise,
01:00:37Eddie's character Bobby finds his long-lost mother, Hallie, at a brothel.
01:00:44I'm sorry.
01:00:46I'm sorry.
01:00:48I'm sorry.
01:00:50I'm sorry.
01:00:52I'm sorry.
01:00:54I'm sorry.
01:00:56I'm sorry.
01:00:58I'm sorry.
01:01:00I'm sorry.
01:01:02I'm sorry.
01:01:19Hey cutie.
01:01:21I'm gonna give you a freebie.
01:01:33It's open.
01:01:40Hey sweetie.
01:01:43That'll be five dollars and you pay me now.
01:01:51Come on.
01:01:53If you don't pay, you can't play.
01:02:00Look.
01:02:03If you're thinking of hurting me,
01:02:06you better think again.
01:02:09I'll break every bone in your body.
01:02:13Mama, don't you recognize me?
01:02:15I'm Bobby.
01:02:20Okay.
01:02:22So that's the game you wanna play.
01:02:25Sure, honey.
01:02:28Come on to mommy.
01:02:30I'll make you feel better.
01:02:32No.
01:02:34I am your son.
01:02:36Tom Baker's my father.
01:02:41Tom Baker?
01:02:45What did you say your name was?
01:02:48Bobby.
01:02:51Mama,
01:02:53why did you leave us?
01:02:57So what did your papa tell you?
01:03:00Nothing.
01:03:02He just said that you died when I was born.
01:03:08Listen, Bobby.
01:03:10Your papa raped me.
01:03:14My papa worked at the store your grandfather owned.
01:03:19I was just 13 years old.
01:03:24Your papa was a crazy person back then.
01:03:27Is your grandpapa still alive?
01:03:33No, ma'am.
01:03:35He died just a few years ago.
01:03:42Well,
01:03:44when you were born,
01:03:47your grandpapa gave my family $200
01:03:50and told them to send me away.
01:03:53$200!
01:03:55My papa gave me $30
01:03:58and sent me to San Francisco,
01:04:01and he kept the rest.
01:04:07I've been fending for myself ever since.
01:04:15Wasn't that great?
01:04:17Of course, it was based on an award-winning novel,
01:04:20but three movies,
01:04:21that's all he left us.
01:04:34I wonder if Eddie Ray had any idea of the influences
01:04:37he would have on world culture,
01:04:39or how he would be marketed.
01:04:41You know, selling everything from cups to jeans.
01:04:45Well, I'd like to think he would be mad as hell
01:04:48about them co-opting him.
01:04:49I'd like to think he would be mad as hell
01:04:51about them co-opting him.
01:05:08Hey, Roy.
01:05:10Hey, guys.
01:05:12Sal was at the gravesite.
01:05:14He was okay.
01:05:16I felt something.
01:05:17I don't know.
01:05:19Yeah.
01:05:21There were definitely some vibes there.
01:05:23I felt something too.
01:05:25Vibes.
01:05:27At a gravesite.
01:05:29You guys are...
01:05:31Ah, never mind.
01:05:33It's $5.50 apiece to get in this place.
01:05:48Welcome to the Eddie Ray Museum.
01:05:51This home is one of the places that Eddie Ray lived in
01:05:54during the time he lived in Fairview.
01:05:56The museum opened in 1968,
01:05:59ten years after his tragic death.
01:06:01We've had visitors from all 50 states
01:06:04and over 40 countries.
01:06:06Even people from Little Monaco,
01:06:08the smallest country in the world,
01:06:10have visited here.
01:06:12I thought Vatican City
01:06:14was the smallest country in the world.
01:06:15We don't count that.
01:06:17Everything here is from the collection
01:06:19of Mr. Edward K. Hunter,
01:06:21who started collecting Eddie Ray memorabilia
01:06:23while he was a teenager,
01:06:25shortly after Eddie Ray's death.
01:06:27Mr. Hunter also authored the book
01:06:29Will the Real Eddie Ray Please Stand Up,
01:06:31which received critical acclaim
01:06:33and is on sale in our gift shop.
01:06:35Now, if you all follow me,
01:06:37we'll begin the tour.
01:06:45You must accept the past
01:06:47and embrace the future.
01:06:49It's a huge weight
01:06:51to lift it off my back.
01:06:53You should be on the lookout
01:06:55for a nice girl like me.
01:06:57Look, I'm not...
01:06:59I'm gay.
01:07:02You murdered her.
01:07:04You murdered her.
01:07:06You're not in the mood right now.
01:07:08You're not in the mood right now.
01:07:10You're not in the mood right now.
01:07:12You're not in the mood right now.
01:07:13You're not in the mood right now.
01:07:15You're my real dad.
01:07:17Aren't you?
01:07:19I gave up trying to understand you
01:07:21a long time ago.
01:07:28And that concludes our tour.
01:07:30I hope you've enjoyed our museum.
01:07:32Please feel free to roam around.
01:07:34If you have any questions,
01:07:36don't hesitate to ask,
01:07:38or you can always visit the gift shop.
01:07:40Jane, let's visit the gift shop.
01:07:42Thanks.
01:07:53That sounds like her.
01:08:01Hey, you young man.
01:08:03Yes?
01:08:06Don't speak to me like that.
01:08:08What day is this?
01:08:09Beg your pardon?
01:08:11Didn't you hear me?
01:08:13I asked you what day it is.
01:08:15Today's Sunday.
01:08:18Do you need any help?
01:08:20Are you crazy?
01:08:22Of course I need help.
01:08:25I mean...
01:08:32You look familiar.
01:08:34Don't I know you?
01:08:40Lordy, it's you.
01:08:42Praise the Lord, it's you.
01:08:44Ain't it?
01:08:47It's good to see you again.
01:08:49How have you been?
01:08:51You look like shit.
01:08:53What happened?
01:08:55Why are you here?
01:08:57Are you going to take me away?
01:09:02No, it's not your time yet.
01:09:05Mother!
01:09:08Mother, are you bothering this nice man?
01:09:11You promised you wouldn't run off like that.
01:09:14We said we were going to stay together.
01:09:16Well, I...
01:09:18I was just...
01:09:20I don't remember.
01:09:22I remember.
01:09:23Now go back and see Annette, okay?
01:09:29I'm sorry.
01:09:31I'm sorry.
01:09:33I'm sorry, she's just...
01:09:36She's just very forgetful.
01:09:38You know, Mom loves coming to the museum,
01:09:40but her dementia is getting worse.
01:09:42It's difficult.
01:09:44She's not that old.
01:09:46I'm sorry to hear that.
01:09:48She was no trouble at all.
01:09:50How long has she been like that?
01:09:52Oh, it's been about a year.
01:09:54Well, at least that's when we first noticed.
01:09:56We moved her in with us about six months ago.
01:09:59I gotta go.
01:10:01Sure.
01:10:08The human mind is so fragile.
01:10:14It makes you...
01:10:17realize how lucky you are.
01:10:26I better go get the others.
01:10:28We need to be...
01:10:30heading back to Annapolis soon.
01:10:33I'm going back to the van.
01:10:55Thanks again.
01:10:56Have fun.
01:10:57Sure.
01:10:58I see you met Irene.
01:10:59Yeah, I did.
01:11:01She's the last one living now.
01:11:04What do you mean?
01:11:06She's the last person from Fairview
01:11:08who is still alive who knew Eddie Ray.
01:11:10Of course, she was four years old at the time,
01:11:12but still,
01:11:14Eddie was her cousin.
01:11:16Really?
01:11:18You know, it's odd.
01:11:20Everyone from Fairview who knew Eddie Ray
01:11:22either moved away or died an early death.
01:11:25Some folks say it's a curse on the town.
01:11:27Some even blame us for his death.
01:11:32Well,
01:11:33you have a safe trip now.
01:11:35Thanks for coming.
01:11:37Yeah, thanks.
01:11:39Come back anytime.
01:11:41See ya.
01:11:43Bye.
01:11:57Bye.
01:12:24Adam, you better pull over for some gas.
01:12:27That's a good idea.
01:13:28Roy.
01:13:31Yeah?
01:13:35I don't know what happened back there,
01:13:38but I don't believe your name is really Roy.
01:13:41I never said my name was Roy.
01:13:43I said that's what some folks call me.
01:13:45So who do you think I am?
01:13:47I don't believe in ghosts.
01:13:53Well, I didn't believe.
01:13:55Hell, now I'm not so sure.
01:13:57A ghost.
01:13:59Who's ghost?
01:14:07Eddie Ray's ghost.
01:14:10You've got to be kidding me.
01:14:12You've known me for three days
01:14:14and you still don't know anything.
01:14:16Christ, man,
01:14:17I don't look anything like Eddie Ray.
01:14:19He was, what, 24 years old when he died?
01:14:21Yeah.
01:14:22Well, maybe after you die, you continue to age.
01:14:24If that's the case,
01:14:26I'd be a hell of a lot older, wouldn't I?
01:14:28I'd be, what, 72.
01:14:30All right, I don't know.
01:14:32But that woman,
01:14:34back in Fairview,
01:14:37she acted like she knew you.
01:14:39So?
01:14:41So she's the last living person from Fairview
01:14:43who knew Eddie Ray before he died.
01:14:45She was, what, nine years old when he left town?
01:14:48You know, you're nuts.
01:14:49In case you didn't notice,
01:14:51that lady is feeble-minded.
01:14:53Anyway,
01:14:56I was just being nice to her.
01:14:58She reminded me of someone I used to know.
01:15:04All right.
01:15:07What about your outburst the other day at the drive-thru?
01:15:11I was wondering when you were going to ask me about that again.
01:15:14I don't know.
01:15:16I was wondering when you were going to ask me about that again.
01:15:21You wouldn't understand.
01:15:25When you look at the leaves on a tree,
01:15:28the sunset,
01:15:31the field of wildflowers,
01:15:35damn it, you don't get it.
01:15:37No.
01:15:40What are you talking about?
01:15:46This is a gift.
01:15:51Like a bouquet of flowers
01:15:56with the smell of fresh-baked sweet tea.
01:16:02A treasure.
01:16:05It's all too soon
01:16:09and it will be gone.
01:16:10It's all too soon
01:16:14and it will be gone.
01:16:18And when it's gone, it's gone forever.
01:16:23Answers?
01:16:27The answers are not out there somewhere.
01:16:29They're inside.
01:16:34A ghost?
01:16:38I don't know what a ghost is.
01:16:41As a matter of fact, right now,
01:16:43I don't know what anything is.
01:16:49So Adam,
01:16:51why did you come to Fairfield?
01:16:54Did you find the answers you're looking for?
01:17:02I came on this trip
01:17:05looking for answers.
01:17:10And I learned
01:17:13that I can't find those answers
01:17:17in the arms of another woman
01:17:19or some far-off distant place.
01:17:21What I know now in my heart
01:17:29is that the greatest gift in the world
01:17:33is the love
01:17:35my family gives to me
01:17:36and the love I give to them.
01:17:41And I will never, ever...
01:17:43Okay.
01:17:47This is where I say goodbye.
01:17:51You're not coming back to Indianapolis with us?
01:17:54No.
01:17:56What am I going to tell the others?
01:17:58They won't ask.
01:18:00They won't remember.
01:18:01Will I remember you?
01:18:03Maybe.
01:18:06Maybe not.
01:18:10Maybe only in my dreams.
01:18:14So,
01:18:17you are anyway's ghost.
01:18:21Those are your words, Adam,
01:18:23not mine.
01:18:25Just remember
01:18:27that you are
01:18:28not mine.
01:18:30Just remember
01:18:33you can't find the answers in Fairview.
01:18:36Fairview is just another small town
01:18:40somewhere in Indiana.
01:18:59Hey...
01:19:01Hey...
01:19:03Hey...
01:19:07Oh...
01:19:13Oh...
01:19:24Okay?
01:19:26Ready to roll?
01:19:28Yep.
01:19:30I mean, yes.
01:19:32I'm ready.
01:19:34Ready or not, here I come.
01:19:36Not in the back seat, you're not.
01:19:39This has been quite a trip.
01:19:41I came out of the closet
01:19:43and Jane phoned her father
01:19:45and called him everything but a white man
01:19:47and then made up with him
01:19:49and Dan's ready to move on with his life
01:19:51but what about you, Adam?
01:19:53I'm fine.
01:19:55I mean,
01:19:57yeah,
01:19:59I'm fine.
01:20:02Let's go.
01:20:10Jane,
01:20:13I want you to know that...
01:20:15You don't
01:20:17have to say anything.
01:20:21Just give your wife a big kiss for me.
01:20:26I know you love her.
01:20:30And maybe
01:20:32we shouldn't...
01:20:34Well, you know.
01:20:36Yeah.
01:20:40I understand.
01:20:43So what are you gonna...
01:20:46He's not the guy from the drive-in?
01:20:57Hey, remember me?
01:21:00Need some help?
01:21:02Nah, she just overheated.
01:21:04It'll be okay in a couple of minutes.
01:21:06I do remember you from the other day.
01:21:08Right.
01:21:10Got me to thinking about what happened.
01:21:12You know when them kids were killed?
01:21:14I dug out an old clipping
01:21:16and it seems that three teenagers were killed that night
01:21:18and two kids survived.
01:21:20Really?
01:21:21Yeah.
01:21:23This girl was babysitting a four-year-old boy
01:21:24who was at home watching him.
01:21:26Well, she took him with her on this date
01:21:28and the wreck threw him from the car.
01:21:30They landed in a big haystack.
01:21:32The girl wasn't hurt too bad
01:21:34but the boy was in real bad shape.
01:21:36It was a touch and go.
01:21:38I remember my mom telling me about it.
01:21:40The parents took him down to a children's hospital down south
01:21:42and they moved away a couple of months later
01:21:44to be closer to the hospital.
01:21:46I don't know if he recovered but I believe he did.
01:21:48That's strange.
01:21:50You're both pretty lucky.
01:21:52Oh yeah, Irene and Roy were lucky kids.
01:21:54Irene, Eddie Ray's cousin.
01:21:56She's still alive.
01:21:58The little boy's real name was Michael Raymond
01:22:00and I guess everybody called him Roy
01:22:03because he liked to play cowboys
01:22:05and he had this toy gun set he wore around all the time.
01:22:07That's weird.
01:22:09Do you remember the guy who was with us the other day
01:22:11throwing rocks at your screen?
01:22:13No.
01:22:15I remember you and the other folks in the van.
01:22:18Was there someone else with you?
01:22:20Come on.
01:22:25All right, never mind.
01:22:27Are you sure you don't need some help?
01:22:29No, I'll be all right.
01:22:31You folks come back and see us.
01:22:35You know, you really ought to visit
01:22:37during the Eddie Ray Festival in September.
01:22:39It's quite an event.
01:22:41We'll see if we can.
01:22:43Thanks. Take care.
01:22:45This is not a movie, baby
01:22:48A happy ending is not guaranteed
01:22:52And this is not one of those songs for the radio
01:22:56You're not gonna write this one so easily
01:23:00We've been talking for hours about it
01:23:04But you could tell me so much more with just one kiss
01:23:08I've been searching inside your big brown eyes
01:23:12The more I see, the greater the mystery is
01:23:16This is what I've been waiting for
01:23:20Just to know I don't know anymore
01:23:24Is this what I've been waiting for?
01:23:32This is not a lesson, honey
01:23:36I'm not learning anything
01:23:39It was almost a year ago that I visited Fairview.
01:23:42Now I'm working as a freelance copywriter
01:23:45and marketing consultant.
01:23:47Sam was promoted to shift supervisor.
01:23:50Dan is engaged.
01:23:52And Jane has an apartment, a cat, and a lover
01:23:57in that order of importance.
01:23:59Sometimes I wonder about
01:24:01what actually took place last summer.
01:24:03Who was Roy?
01:24:06Was he real?
01:24:08Or just a figment of my imagination?
01:24:16Who was Roy?
01:24:26Got a brand new car called a Rocket 98
01:24:29Went in a hurry, I'm never, never leaving
01:24:33My Rocket, Rocket, Rocket 98
01:24:38Got a brand new ride, got a brand new night
01:24:43You got your push-button window, got your push-button door
01:24:48Even got your push-button on the floor
01:24:51And my Rocket, Rocket, Rocket 98
01:24:56Got a brand new ride, got a brand new night
01:25:03Picked up my lady, know she's looking real fine
01:25:07Tonight she's gonna be in my mind
01:25:10And my Rocket, Rocket, Rocket 98
01:25:16Got a brand new ride, got a brand new night
01:25:40Travelling down a road, ninety miles a night
01:25:44I threw out my lift for a dive
01:25:47And my Rocket, Rocket, Rocket 98
01:25:53Won't you bury me in my Rocket 98
01:26:00Won't you bury me in my Rocket 98

01:26:34Thank you for watching!
