Crazy in Alabama Page #5

Read it. "Night of Agony."

I'm so ashamed.

Now, look here, Earlene.

You think he looks bad?

Look at John Doggett.

That's it!

I want them out of this house!

You're just gonna

have to call your old mother.

I'm sorry, but this is the last straw!

Don't be silly. He can't help

that they took his picture.

I can't stand the idea

of everybody talking about us!

Excuse me, Miss Clay.

You're wanted on the set.

Honey, I'm wanted in 17 states.

If you'll follow me.

Thank you.

-Got your lines down?

-I stayed up the night practising.

Relax and have fun. Would you

introduce her to everyone, Amanda?

-Certainly.

-Okay, people, let's go!

-Can I put my husband here?

-Sure.

-And here you are.

-Thank you.

Break a leg.

I'm Darrin today.

You're Carolyn, aren't you?

Great hair.

Thank you. You're Darrin?

I'm his stand-in.

I feed you his lines.

How you doing?

I'm Endora.

-Samantha.

-I don't understand.

We're shooting cutaways. They'll

bring the real actors in Thursday.

You just pretend I'm Darrin.

They'll plug him in later.

Folks back home are never

gonna believe this.

"Lucille Fleur pays a visit."

Scene 7, take 1.

And action!

I was hoping you would say yes.

"Yes" is my favourite word

in the whole world.

I beg your pardon?

Aren't you looking for Miss Jasmine

for your ad campaign?

We are. Won't you sit down, Miss...?

Lucille Fleur.

And cut.

-Action!

-Come off it, Sarah.

Dignity, Samantha. Dignity.

Well, hello, Samantha.

My, but it has been a long time,

hasn't it?

She's one of us,

though I hate to admit it.

What are you doing with my husband?

Your husband?

Carolyn, that was swell.

Nice job, everyone! That's a wrap

on Carolyn Clay, and that's a wrap!

Look, Chester.

I made it. I'm here.

And they love me, you know?

I was good.

Peejoe?

Oh, my God. Oh, my God!

Be careful, there. He bites.

Yes, sir.

Well, Peejoe...

...it's not every day

I get to treat a celebrity.

That was some picture on Look.

That guy got me in trouble. He didn't

even ask if he could take it.

Well, you did look kind of surprised.

They tried to make it out

like I was some kind of hero.

I didn't do anything.

Well, you be careful, young son.

This is dangerous times in this town.

Oh, yeah. He was right about that.

That Sheriff Doggett was on me

like fleas on a dog.

There was a lot of protesting

going on in the streets of lndustry.

And after that story

in Look magazine...

... everybody in America knew

what was happening down there.

Who would've thought

that before summer was over...

...I would stand in a crowd...

...hearing the most famous

black man in America...

...preach about Taylor Jackson?

Judge Mead has issued an order...

...for the integration of

the Industry Municipal Swimming Pool.

But I come here today

to make a promise to you.

We shall overcome the walls

that divide one race from another...

...to the everlasting shame

and detriment of both.

We shall overcome

the arrogance of power.

And with our golden sword

of nonviolence...

...we shall overcome the violence

of those that will try to stop us.

God is on our side!

My eyes have seen the glory

of the coming of the Lord!

We shall overcome

We shall overcome

Reverend...

...this is the boy

on the cover of Look.

This boy stood up for Taylor Jackson.

This is Peter Joseph.

At last, I understood what made

Taylor Jackson so important.

Taylor died just as dead

as those boys in Gettysburg...

...and for the same cause.

Dove and Wiley and I were fighting

on the side of the black people...

... the Yankees, Mr. Murphy...

...and Martin Luther King.

I worked my heart out making four

dozen sandwiches, and at 12:45...

...Mary Louise said they weren't

coming because we're n*gger lovers.

-That's ugly.

-That's what she said.

You don't need friends like that.

I hope you hung up on her.

Barbara Jean said he brought shame

to the town posing for that magazine.

And if we don't like it here,

we can go somewhere else.

Nobody'd bother taking a photograph

of Barbara Jean.

What am I supposed to do now?

That's four dozen pimento cheese

sandwiches gone entirely to waste!

-We could eat them.

-No, we can't.

I threw them in the garbage.

You threw away four dozen sandwiches?

I was mad.

We'll never get invited anywhere!

Get a grip on yourself!

You're coming undone.

Why do you have to get involved?

Let somebody else be the hero.

This is none of our business.

Uncle Dove, look!

"Yes" is my favourite word

in the whole world.

It's her! It's Aunt Lucille!

I beg your pardon?

Aren't you looking for a Miss... ?

I do not believe this!

I mean, we are.

Won't you sit down, Miss... ?

She's pretty good!

She's funny too.

You were great.

You were fantastic.

Welcome to Hollywood, kiddo.

Walter called, all excited.

They're writing Lucille Fleur

into four episodes this season.

They offered us good money.

You're kidding!

That is terrific, Harry.

I'm not so sure we should lock you

into television so quickly.

You know my greatest ambition?

What?

To look in that hatbox

one of these days.

If I have to disappear

for a little while...

...don't make a big thing

out of it, okay?

What do you mean, "disappear"?

We're just getting started.

It's just...

...some unfinished business

that I have to take care of...

...and I don't want you to make

a big thing out of it.

It's just, I don't want

you to worry and....

And I want you to know...

...how grateful I am for everything.

Hey, now.

Don't do anything without

talking to me.

You have all the makings of a star.

God, I hope so.

Good. You brought

the lovely Miss Clay...

...a vision in gold.

My dear.

Joan, you do remember Carolyn,

don't you?

How could I forget?

Jeepers, your house is so wonderful.

I wish my mama could see this.

I just love the sound

of an authentic peasant accent.

Don't you, Harry?

Yes, I do.

I remember when I fixed yours.

Binkums...

...do you smell something?

He smells something.

Must be your perfume.

Is there someplace that I could

tuck my hatbox, maybe?

Catherine, show Miss...

where to put her things.

You go on, Harry. No, that's mine,

thank you. I'll catch up.

All right, Chester...

...you stay right there and be quiet.

Doggy, doggy! Doggies!

Well...

...I hear you were quite the sensation

over at Screen Gems this week.

I had more fun than you can imagine.

Here, doggies! Here, come on!

Jump up!

There you go. That's it!

Good doggies!

We're doing a picture with Tab Hunter.

It's a racecar thing.

Maybe you'd like to read for me.

I would love to. You're just gonna

have to talk to Harry first.

Learning fast, I see.

Well, that's good. I like a girl

with a head on her shoulders.

Champagne?

What the hell?

What are you doing?

Bring her over here!

Get her up here.

All right, Chester. I'm really

angry now. You're driving me nuts!

Do you understand? Party's over.

-You ruin everything for me.

-What went on in there?

I don't know. There's something wrong
