What, is the... is the world going

to suffer if I don't do that?

You're really being serious?

Yeah, I'm serious.

Where?

I... I start shooting

"Rebel" in three weeks.

I've got to go to LA

and start learning my lines.

Staying or going, bud?

I got to stay here, Jimmy.

I've got people

calling my agency.

Feels right to be here.

Christ's sake, buddy.

Alright, well, I guess

I'll see you around.

Yeah, I'll see you, Jimmy.

Thank you, Mr. Kazan.

Mr. Elia Kazan,

about to go inside

for the Premiere of his

new film "East of Eden".

That was Elia Kazan,

ladies and gentlemen.

He was one of our

very special guests...

Is he here yet?

We can't find him.

We are still awaiting the arrival

of the film's amazing

new star, James Dean.

Where is the little sh*t?

I don't know, Mr. Warner.

- He was supposed to...

- Find him.

He's history.

...the atmosphere

here on Broadway is electric.

The entertainment

capital of the world...

- Well, well, well.

- Can we get a photo, Mr. Warner?

Let's take some pictures.

I'll catch you later.

...Nicholas Ray's

new film "Rebel Without a Cause",

and we can be sure this

is just the beginning,

as the name on everybody's

lips this evening

is James Dean.

We're making history, folks.

Step right in.

Let's have a great time.

Welcome aboard

our flight to Los Angeles.

We've now reached

our cruising altitude

and our flight time

is approximately eight hours.

Enjoy your flight.

Let's play like we do at home.

We can do the voices.

Can you make a dog sound?

Bark. Bark.

- What else?

- Like...

Oh, that's a nice sound.

Can we build a cubby house?

Sure.

When we get home.

Can you make a cow sound?

Moo-oo! Moo-oo!

OK, you draw the cardinal.

I don't know how

to draw a cardinal.

We must get home,

for we have been away

So long, it seems

forever and a day!

And oh so very homesick

we have grown,

The laughter of the world

is like a moan

In our tired hearing,

and its song as vain...

We must get home,

we must get home again!

We must get home:

All is so quiet there:

The touch of loving hands

on brow and hair

Dim rooms, wherein

the sunshine is made mild

The lost love

of the mother and the child

Restored in restful

lullabies of rain

We must, we must!

Our rainy faces

pelted in the dust

Creep back from the vain quest

through endless strife

To find not anywhere

in all of life

A happier happiness

than blessed us then...

We must get home,

we must get home again!
