00:02:49,502 --> 00:02:51,800
<i>Is this Rose Hill?</i>

00:02:51,871 --> 00:02:54,431
<i>Good.
This is Ed Couch.</i>

<i>I'm Vesta Adcock's nephew.</i>

00:02:57,010 --> 00:02:59,240
<i>I need to get up there and see her,</i>

7
00:02:59,312 --> 00:03:03,305
<i>but I'm gonna be late
'cause I'm lost out here.</i>

8
00:03:03,383 --> 00:03:05,851
<i>We're off the Alabama interstate

00:03:42,288 --> 00:03:46,190
Did you hear that?
What?

13
00:03:46,259 --> 00:03:48,318
The train.

14
00:03:48,394 --> 00:03:51,261
No, I didn't hear no train.

15
00:03:53,032 --> 00:03:55,364
Oh, nothin', I guess.

16
00:03:55,435 --> 00:03:59,838
Where's "Whistle Stop" on
the map? I can't find it.

17
00:03:59,906 --> 00:04:03,774
Why did you tell me to
turn right 10 miles back there?

18
00:04:05,311 --> 00:04:08,838
God, you got a negative sense of direction, hon.

19
00:04:08,915 --> 00:04:11,782
[Woman]
I'm sorry.

20
00:04:11,851 --> 00:04:16,049
Oh, Ed, your aunt's gonna be
so disappointed we're late.

21
00:04:16,122 --> 00:04:20,115
I know she's been looking forward
to this visit all week long.

22
00:04:20,193 --> 00:04:23,458
Bless her sweet, little ol' heart.

00:04:33,206 --> 00:04:36,266
<i>Don't you look pretty!
We brought you something.</i>

<i>[Ed] Let me look at you.</i>

<i>[Ed]</i>
<i>Don't you know Evelyn loves you?</i>

28
00:04:42,248 --> 00:04:47,083
Well, honey, I guess it'd be
better if you wait out here for me.

29
00:04:47,153 --> 00:04:51,613
I'll get all this stuff.
Well, if you think it's best.

30
00:04:51,691 --> 00:04:54,990
Yeah, I do this time.
Okay?

31
00:04:55,061 --> 00:04:57,222
Have a nice day, Aunt Vesta.

32
00:04:57,297 --> 00:04:59,231
<i>[Ed]</i>
<i>Don't you pitch a fit like that!</i>

33
00:05:11,210 --> 00:05:13,906
Did you know they took my gallbladder out?

34
00:05:15,348 --> 00:05:17,475
No, I didn't.

35
00:05:17,550 --> 00:05:21,213
<i>Oh, yes. Still
in the hospital in a jar.</i>

36
00:05:21,287 --> 00:05:26,088
I guess that's where they keep 'em.

37
00:05:26,159 --> 00:05:28,127
I guess.

38
00:05:28,194 --> 00:05:30,424
When I was in the hospital,

39
00:05:30,496 --> 00:05:34,455
the nurse gave me one of them
Fleet enemas they're so fond of.

40
00:05:34,534 --> 00:05:37,128
Mrs. Cleo Threadgoode,

41
00:05:37,203 --> 00:05:40,502
82 year old widow, imagine that.

42
00:05:40,573 --> 00:05:43,701
Actually, everybody calls me Ninny.

43
00:05:43,776 --> 00:05:46,006
'Course I'm just visitin' here.

44
00:05:46,079 --> 00:05:51,346
Did you ever have one of them Fleet enemas?

45
00:05:51,417 --> 00:05:53,351
Um, well?

46
00:05:53,419 --> 00:05:55,478
No.

47
00:05:55,555 --> 00:05:58,786
You'd remember it.

48
00:05:58,858 --> 00:06:02,521
Me and my friend, Mrs. Otis,
come from Whistle Stop.

49
00:06:02,595 --> 00:06:04,790
You ever been to Whistle Stop?

50
00:06:04,864 --> 00:06:08,265
Why, yes. I just
passed by there today.

51
00:06:08,334 --> 00:06:13,203
<i>She's lived down the street
from me for 30 years or more.</i>

52
00:06:13,272 --> 00:06:15,263
After her son died,

53
00:06:15,341 --> 00:06:18,936
her daughter-in-law had a fit for
her to come live at the nursing home.

54
00:06:19,011 --> 00:06:22,310
They asked me to come and be her roommate.

55
00:06:22,382 --> 00:06:26,614
<i>Mrs. Otis don't know it, but I'm going
home just soon as she gets settled in good.</i>

56
00:06:28,955 --> 00:06:32,356
Does the name "Idgie Threadgoode" ring a bell?

57
00:06:32,425 --> 00:06:35,952
Um, no, ma'am.
I don't think so.

58
00:06:36,028 --> 00:06:38,826
You'd remember her.

59
00:06:38,898 --> 00:06:42,800
You see, I was practically
adopted by the Threadgoode family.

60
00:06:42,869 --> 00:06:45,201
I married her brother,
Cleo. Oh, uh-huh.

61
00:06:45,271 --> 00:06:50,038
<i>Idgie and her friend, Ruth,
ran the Whistle Stop Cafe.</i>

62
00:06:50,109 --> 00:06:52,043
<i>Oh.</i>

63
00:06:52,111 --> 00:06:54,807
Idgie was a character, all right.

64
00:06:54,881 --> 00:06:58,214
<i>But how anybody
could've thought...</i>

65
00:06:58,284 --> 00:07:02,311
<i>she murdered that man
is beyond me.</i>

66
00:07:02,388 --> 00:07:04,356
I beg your pardon?

67
00:07:04,424 --> 00:07:07,985
You sit and relax a while.
I'll tell you all about it.

68
00:07:08,060 --> 00:07:10,688
Oh, now, let's see.

69
00:07:10,763 --> 00:07:14,221
I 'member the day they pulled
that truck up out of the river.

70
00:07:14,300 --> 00:07:18,259
<i>[Ninny]</i>
<i>That same rainy, summer day...</i>

71
00:07:18,337 --> 00:07:23,274
<i>Idgie Threadgoode was arrested for
the murder of the owner of that truck,</i>

72
00:07:23,342 --> 00:07:26,311
<i>Frank Bennett.</i>

73
00:07:28,614 --> 00:07:31,048
I guess, to understand Idgie,

74
00:07:31,117 --> 00:07:34,814
you'd have to start way back
with her brother, Buddy.

75
00:07:34,887 --> 00:07:39,824
<i>Idgie was Buddy's pet
from the day she was born.</i>

76
00:07:42,228 --> 00:07:45,994
<i>I 'member the day we was all
gettin'ready for Leona's weddin'.</i>

77
00:07:46,065 --> 00:07:48,033
<i>The war had just ended,</i>

78
00:07:48,100 --> 00:07:50,432
<i>the Great one,
you know.</i>

79
00:07:50,503 --> 00:07:55,167
<i>And another one was about to
begin in the Threadgoode house.</i>

80
00:07:55,241 --> 00:07:57,675
<i>[Woman]</i>
<i>Sipsey, honey, is that finished?</i>

81
00:07:59,245 --> 00:08:02,180
<i>Buddy, get dressed, honey. Mama?</i>

82
00:08:02,248 --> 00:08:04,216
Leona, what is it?

83
00:08:04,283 --> 00:08:06,148
Idgie's upstairs in her room...

84
00:08:06,219 --> 00:08:08,187
and says she won't come out
as long as she lives.

85
00:08:08,254 --> 00:08:10,381
She is gonna ruin my weddin'! Shh.

86
00:08:10,456 --> 00:08:13,254
Leona, you're gonna be the most beautiful bride.

87
00:08:13,326 --> 00:08:16,591
Of course she is, Papa.

88
00:08:16,662 --> 00:08:20,598
Your papa has spent every last
nickel he has just to make you happy.

89
00:08:20,666 --> 00:08:24,466
Now, you try to act
a little grateful, young lady.

90
00:08:24,537 --> 00:08:27,631
Imogene Louise Threadgoode!

91
00:08:27,707 --> 00:08:30,232
This is your mama!

92
00:08:32,645 --> 00:08:37,582
You come down here right now.
Do you hear me?

93
00:08:37,650 --> 00:08:40,278
Buddy, fetch her. She'll listen
to you. Come on down, little bit.

94
00:08:40,353 --> 00:08:42,913
<i>[Buddy]</i>
<i>There's no firin' squad waitin' for you.</i>

<i>Ohh! Come on, honey. Let us see you.</i>

96
00:08:48,394 --> 00:08:50,555
<i>You look so pretty.</i>

97
00:08:50,630 --> 00:08:53,463
<i>I see London, I see... Hush!</i>

98
00:08:55,201 --> 00:08:58,637
Julian, hush.

99
00:08:58,704 --> 00:09:01,434
<i>Come ahead, sweetheart.</i>

100
00:09:01,507 --> 00:09:05,238
<i>[Mama]</i>
<i>You look awful nice in that.</i>

101
00:09:05,311 --> 00:09:06,903
Mama!
You look fine.

102
00:09:06,979 --> 00:09:09,470
<i>[Julian]
She looks like a monkey.</i>

103
00:09:09,549 --> 00:09:11,346
<i>Julian, stop it
right this second!</i>

104
00:09:11,417 --> 00:09:14,750
<i>[Idgie] Take it back!
Take it back! Idgie, hey!</i>

105
00:09:14,820 --> 00:09:17,914
I told you she was gonna ruin my weddin'!

106
00:09:17,990 --> 00:09:20,356
<i>Idgie, get up.
Take it back!</i>

107
00:09:20,426 --> 00:09:22,587
Take it back!

108
00:09:22,662 --> 00:09:25,995
I'll get you for this.
No, Buddy.

<i>[Leona:

110
00:09:29,802 --> 00:09:32,862

<i>We have to be careful when she's dressing up.</i>

111
00:09:32,939 --> 00:09:34,873
<i>[Leona]
She's just a pain!</i>

112
00:09:34,941 --> 00:09:38,468
<i>Leona, will you
stop shrieking!</i>

113
00:09:38,544 --> 00:09:41,240
<i>This is your
weddin'day!</i>

114
00:09:52,258 --> 00:09:55,091
<i>[Buddy]</i>
<i>Looks like you got yourself up a tree, little bit.</i>

115
00:09:55,161 --> 00:09:58,187
[Idgie]
I'm sick of people makin' fun of me.

116
00:09:58,264 --> 00:10:00,789
So you're gonna stay up here all day long.

117
00:10:00,866 --> 00:10:04,063
Yep.
The hell with them.

118
00:10:04,136 --> 00:10:08,072
Who wants to wear that stupid ol' dress anyway?

119
00:10:08,140 --> 00:10:11,507
<i>I ever tell you about
the oysters? Oysters?</i>

120
00:10:11,577 --> 00:10:13,511
I tell you about the oysters? No.

121
00:10:13,579 --> 00:10:18,243
<i>[Buddy] Think about the millions
of oysters lyin'around the ocean.</i>

122
00:10:18,317 --> 00:10:20,649
Then one day...

123
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,518
God comes along and sees one and he says,

124
00:10:23,589 --> 00:10:26,490
"I think I'm gonna make
that one different."

125
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:28,754
You know what he does?

126
00:10:28,828 --> 00:10:31,991
He puts a little piece of sand in it.

127
00:10:32,064 --> 00:10:36,296
Guess what it can do that
the others can't. What?

128
00:10:36,369 --> 00:10:39,668
It can make a beautiful pearl.

129
00:10:39,739 --> 00:10:41,900
What if God made a mistake?

130
00:10:41,974 --> 00:10:47,071
Well, the way I figure it,
he never makes mistakes.

131
00:10:47,146 --> 00:10:49,910
I mean, he made sure we got together.

132
00:10:49,982 --> 00:10:51,973
He made sure you got the best looking,

133
00:10:52,051 --> 00:10:54,246
most charmin' brother in the world...

134
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,687
who's gonna beat you to the
chocolate cake. You will not.

135
00:10:57,757 --> 00:11:00,123
Got you out of the tree, didn't I?

136
00:11:00,192 --> 00:11:03,127
Did not!

137
00:11:03,195 --> 00:11:06,824
<i>[Reverend]</i>
<i>Into this estate, these two come now to be joined.</i>

<i>why they may not lawfully
be joined together,</i>

forever after hold his peace.

141
00:11:16,742 --> 00:11:19,404
Please be seated.

<i>why you may not justly be joined
together in holy matrimony,</i>

144
00:11:27,086 --> 00:11:29,554
do you now confess it?

145
00:11:39,198 --> 00:11:41,894
It is then your will to proceed.

146
00:11:41,967 --> 00:11:45,664

147
00:11:51,510 --> 00:11:54,843
<i>[Mama] Thank you. I don't know what

Sipsey, especially you.
Look what you've done!

149
00:11:57,950 --> 00:12:01,886
[Sipsey] Thank you, Mrs. Threadgoode.
Gimme that, you rascal!

You look beautiful, Lily.
Yes, Lily, you sure do.

153
00:12:17,136 --> 00:12:20,572
<i>[Ninny]</i>
<i>I had the biggest crush on him.</i>

154
00:12:20,639 --> 00:12:22,971
<i>He was a terrible flirt!</i>

155
00:12:23,042 --> 00:12:26,273
<i>But his heart belonged
to Ruth Jamison.</i>

156
00:12:26,345 --> 00:12:29,508
<i>She was the daughter of
a friend of his mama's...</i>

157
00:12:29,582 --> 00:12:32,380
<i>who was visitin'
that summer.</i>

158
00:12:32,451 --> 00:12:35,909
Ruth Jamison, you're just
the one I've been lookin' for.

159
00:12:35,988 --> 00:12:39,082
Are you thirsty? Let's
go visit someplace else.

<i>["My Blue Heaven"]</i>

161
00:12:42,161 --> 00:12:44,925
<i>A little nest that's nestled</i>

162
00:12:44,997 --> 00:12:48,330
Think that's a big lake, you should've
seen the one next to our house.

163
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,527
We used to swim in it and fish.

164
00:12:50,603 --> 00:12:53,265
I sure do miss it.
Sure do.

165
00:12:53,339 --> 00:12:56,069
What happened to it?
Did it dry up?

166
00:12:56,142 --> 00:12:58,076
No, worse than that.

167
00:12:58,144 --> 00:13:00,203
Last fall, a flock of ducks,

00:47:26,276 --> 00:47:31,009
I will not dance with you,
and I will not marry you.

682
00:47:31,081 --> 00:47:34,244
Go marry Gladys Moats.
She just adores you.

683
00:47:34,318 --> 00:47:38,277
But she did fall on her
head when she was a child.

684
00:47:39,489 --> 00:47:42,788
You're just a goofy girl, Idgie, a goofy girl.

685
00:47:42,860 --> 00:47:44,851
Who're you callin'
a goof? Ow-ow-ow!

686
00:47:44,928 --> 00:47:48,091
Who you callin' a goof? Stop
that before I get mad and hurt ya.

687
00:47:48,165 --> 00:47:50,326
Oh, yeah.
You try it.

688
00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:53,927
Grady! There now, you give up?

689
00:47:54,004 --> 00:47:55,972
No, I'll never give up!

690
00:47:56,039 --> 00:48:00,567
<i>[Ninny]</i>
<i>Grady finally got dizzy and give up.</i>

691
00:48:00,644 --> 00:48:05,274
<i>Try as they might, none of them
fellas could tame Idgie.</i>

692
00:48:05,983 --> 00:48:08,178
<i>Now, a little while later,</i>

693
00:48:08,252 --> 00:48:12,018
<i>a letter
come from Ruth.</i>

694
00:48:16,593 --> 00:48:19,289
Oh, it's an obituary.

695
00:48:19,363 --> 00:48:22,799
Oh, no, honey, Ruth's mother died.

696
00:48:22,866 --> 00:48:24,800
Oh.

697
00:48:24,868 --> 00:48:26,961
And this is from the Bible.

698
00:48:27,037 --> 00:48:29,597
<i>It's from
the book of Ruth.</i>

699
00:48:29,673 --> 00:48:34,906
"And Ruth said, whither thou goest, I will go;

700
00:48:34,978 --> 00:48:37,310
"where thou lodgest, I will lodge;

701
00:48:37,381 --> 00:48:41,078
thy people
shall be my people."

702
00:48:58,936 --> 00:49:03,032
[Idgie]</i>
<i>All right, Julian, you and Big George wait here.

703
00:49:14,584 --> 00:49:18,247
Mama died.
I know.

704
00:49:20,857 --> 00:49:24,759
And I'm pregnant.

705
00:49:42,079 --> 00:49:45,674
<i>[Idgie]</i>
<i>Julian, I got another box here when you're done!</i>

706
00:49:56,426 --> 00:49:58,451
<i>[Idgie]</i>
<i>I never seen anybody with so many hats.</i>

707
00:49:58,528 --> 00:50:00,689
<i>Why don't we put
three in one box?</i>

708
00:50:00,764 --> 00:50:03,699
<i>I don't think we can fit
all these in the car.</i>

709
00:50:03,767 --> 00:50:06,861
<i>We're gonna need a separate
truck for all your stuff.</i>

710

<i>[Frank]</i>
<i>What the hell is going on here?</i>

711
00:50:08,939 --> 00:50:10,873
Looks like your wife's leavin' you, mister.

712
00:50:10,941 --> 00:50:15,776
<i>Sure she is.</i>
<i>[Idgie] Don't you touch her! Let go.</i>

713
00:50:15,846 --> 00:50:19,441
You bastard!

714
00:50:19,516 --> 00:50:21,450
<i>[Ruth]
Put her down!</i>

715
00:50:21,518 --> 00:50:23,748
Bastard!
Whoooo!

716
00:50:23,820 --> 00:50:25,947
<i>[Ruth]
Stop it!</i>

717
00:50:28,759 --> 00:50:30,420
Don't you hurt her!

718

<i>[Ruth]

[Groaning]

720
00:50:36,700 --> 00:50:40,067
I wouldn't do that if I was you, mister.

721
00:50:42,639 --> 00:50:46,439
See, the thing is, you might upset Big George.

722
00:50:46,510 --> 00:50:48,910
<i>And he's crazy.</i>

723
00:50:48,979 --> 00:50:53,075
<i>There's no tellin'
what he might do.</i>

724
00:51:13,870 --> 00:51:17,237
Go on, get outta here.

725
00:51:27,350 --> 00:51:29,978
- [Screaming]
- Hey!

726
00:51:30,053 --> 00:51:33,352
<i>[Big George]</i>
<i>Come on! Hey, hey! Come on now!</i>

727
00:51:33,423 --> 00:51:36,415
Let's go. Come on.
You okay?

728
00:51:36,493 --> 00:51:39,087
<i>[Big George]</i>
<i>Let's get Miss Ruth and get outta here.</i>

729
00:51:39,162 --> 00:51:42,859
<i>Come on, Miss Ruth.
Come on.</i>

730
00:51:44,401 --> 00:51:48,360
If you ever touch her again, I'll kill you.

731
00:51:54,044 --> 00:51:57,275
<i>[Idgie]</i>
<i>Well, I sure as hell scared him, didn't I?</i>

732
00:51:57,347 --> 00:51:59,975
<i>[Ruth]
Yeah, you sure scared him.</i>

733
00:52:00,050 --> 00:52:03,019
<i>[Idgie]</i>
<i>Towanda, the amazing Amazon woman!</i>

734
00:52:03,086 --> 00:52:05,077
<i>[Ruth]
Towanda?</i>

735
00:52:05,155 --> 00:52:07,953
<i>[Idgie Echoing]
Towanda! Towanda!</i>

736
00:52:10,861 --> 00:52:13,796
<i>Evelyn?
Evelyn!</i>

737
00:52:13,864 --> 00:52:16,025
Oh!
I'm sorry.

738
00:52:16,099 --> 00:52:18,158
I was just lookin' at the pictures, Missy.

739
00:52:18,235 --> 00:52:21,568
They have the greatest stories
in that magazine, don't they?

740
00:52:21,638 --> 00:52:24,004
Will I see you in group tonight?

741
00:52:24,074 --> 00:52:26,599
We'll be talking about masturbation.

742
00:52:26,676 --> 00:52:30,772
No, I don't think so. I think I've
had enough learnin' for the time bein'.

743
00:52:30,847 --> 00:52:34,613
Thank you.
Thank you.

744
00:52:34,684 --> 00:52:37,414
Oh!
Excuse me.

745
00:52:37,487 --> 00:52:40,479
Screw you!

746
00:52:47,230 --> 00:52:49,255
Excuse me, young man.

747
00:52:49,332 --> 00:52:53,132
There was no reason for you to be so rude to me.

748
00:52:53,203 --> 00:52:55,763
Get away from me, you fat
cow. What did you call me?

749
00:52:55,839 --> 00:52:58,330
Beat it, you old bitch.

750
00:52:58,408 --> 00:53:01,377
Why are you being so mean to me?

751
00:53:01,444 --> 00:53:04,607
What did I ever do to you...

752
00:53:04,681 --> 00:53:08,139
I don't understand!

753
00:53:16,493 --> 00:53:19,553
Look at my Stove Top!

754
00:53:26,036 --> 00:53:28,869
Boo!

755
00:53:28,939 --> 00:53:33,535
Oh, honey, what in the world is the matter?

756
00:53:33,610 --> 00:53:36,340
I don't know.

757
00:53:38,114 --> 00:53:41,481
Come on.

758
00:53:41,551 --> 00:53:44,543
Come on.
I need some exercise.

759
00:53:52,596 --> 00:53:58,466
Now, you tell me what's botherin' you, sugar.

760
00:53:58,535 --> 00:54:03,097
I just...
I just feel so useless.

761
00:54:03,173 --> 00:54:07,007
So...
So powerless.

762
00:54:07,077 --> 00:54:12,014
Everybody goes through that.
But I can't stop eatin'.

763
00:54:12,082 --> 00:54:17,019
Every day I try and try and every day I go off.

764
00:54:20,056 --> 00:54:23,082
I hide candy bars all over the house.

765
00:54:23,159 --> 00:54:26,128
A candy bar ain't gonna hurt ya none.

766
00:54:26,196 --> 00:54:30,530
One, no.
But 10 or 11?

767
00:54:31,935 --> 00:54:35,302
I can't even look at my own vagina.

768
00:54:35,372 --> 00:54:38,830
I can't help ya on that one.

769
00:54:38,908 --> 00:54:43,311
I wish I had the courage to get
it over with and get really fat.

770
00:54:47,250 --> 00:54:51,687
Oh, Mrs. Threadgoode,
I just...

771
00:54:51,755 --> 00:54:56,249
I'm too young to be old
and I'm too old to be young.

772
00:54:58,161 --> 00:55:00,994
Maybe I'm just goin' crazy.

773
00:55:02,599 --> 00:55:05,796
You get hot flashes?

774
00:55:05,869 --> 00:55:07,803
Sometimes.

775
00:55:07,871 --> 00:55:11,898
You get the sweats and your
hearts starts a-poundin'?

776
00:55:11,975 --> 00:55:14,307
- How did you know?
- Simple, honey.

777
00:55:14,377 --> 00:55:18,074
You're going through
the change. [Sobbing]

778
00:55:18,148 --> 00:55:22,642
[Laughing]</i>
<i>I used to burst into tears for no reason at all.

779
00:55:24,321 --> 00:55:26,619
You need some hormones. Hmm?

780
00:55:26,690 --> 00:55:30,285
Maybe some Stresstabs number 4 for good measure.

781
00:55:30,360 --> 00:55:33,818
- Really? Is that all?
- Sure, honey.

782
00:55:33,897 --> 00:55:36,229
You get yourself some hormones.

783
00:55:36,299 --> 00:55:39,791
Then you get outta the house and get a job.

784
00:55:41,171 --> 00:55:43,605
With your pretty complexion...

785
00:55:43,673 --> 00:55:47,439
I'll bet you'll be great with cosmetics.

786
00:55:48,845 --> 00:55:52,406
I know how you feel.

787
00:55:52,482 --> 00:55:55,918
I was about your age when I had my child.

788
00:55:55,985 --> 00:55:58,476
Then I went through the change of life.

789
00:55:58,555 --> 00:56:03,185
I didn't know you had
a child. Yes, I did.

790
00:56:03,259 --> 00:56:06,228
Albert.

791
00:56:06,296 --> 00:56:10,892
When he was born, the doctor said
it would be best if I didn't see him.

792
00:56:10,967 --> 00:56:15,063
He said his mind would never
develop past the age of five,

793
00:56:15,138 --> 00:56:18,107
and I should just put him in an institution...

794
00:56:18,174 --> 00:56:22,838
because the burden of raisin' a
child like that would be too great.

795
00:56:24,047 --> 00:56:28,882
Well, I thought about Ruth.

796
00:56:30,453 --> 00:56:32,785
She always said...

797
00:56:32,856 --> 00:56:36,292
there was a separate God for children.

798
00:56:36,359 --> 00:56:41,262
So I smiled at him and I asked for the baby.

799
00:56:41,331 --> 00:56:46,030
Oh, how could anybody think
that sweet, precious baby...

800
00:56:46,102 --> 00:56:48,332
could ever be a burden?

801
00:56:48,405 --> 00:56:52,705
Why, from the minute he was born,
Albert was the joy of my life,

802
00:56:52,776 --> 00:56:55,802
the Lord's greatest gift.

803
00:56:55,879 --> 00:57:00,441
I don't believe there was a purer
soul ever lived on this earth.

804
00:57:00,517 --> 00:57:03,486
I had him with me till he was 30.

805
00:57:03,553 --> 00:57:07,819
Then he went to sleep and didn't wake up.

806
00:57:09,225 --> 00:57:11,955
Sometimes I can't wait to get
to heaven to see him again.

807
00:57:15,598 --> 00:57:17,532
<i>[Idgie]
Whoo!</i>

808
00:57:17,600 --> 00:57:20,865
Shit!
It's a boy!

809
00:57:20,937 --> 00:57:22,996
[Cheering]

810
00:57:23,072 --> 00:57:26,769
I think a prayer of
thanksgivin' would be in order.

811
00:57:26,843 --> 00:57:30,836
Goddamn it to hell, son-of-a-bitch,
she did it! Here's to Ruth!

812
00:57:30,914 --> 00:57:35,180
<i>[Ninny] Idgie always did have a
way with words around the reverend.</i>

813
00:57:35,885 --> 00:57:39,377
<i>Well, Ruth had a baby.</i>

814
00:57:39,456 --> 00:57:42,186
<i>She named him Buddy...
Buddy Junior.</i>

815
00:57:42,258 --> 00:57:47,389
<i>Papa went out and borrowed money so
Ruth and Idgie could start a cafe,</i>

816
00:57:47,464 --> 00:57:49,694
<i>the Whistle Stop Cafe.</i>

817
00:57:49,766 --> 00:57:52,326
[Whistle]

818
00:57:54,437 --> 00:57:59,704
<i>When you come by my house
come down behind the jail</i>

819
00:57:59,776 --> 00:58:02,370
<i>I've got a sign on my door</i>

820
00:58:02,445 --> 00:58:04,709
<i>Barbecue for sale</i>

821
00:58:04,781 --> 00:58:07,545
<i>I'm talkin' about barbecue</i>

822
00:58:07,617 --> 00:58:12,554
<i>Only thing I crave</i>

823
00:58:12,622 --> 00:58:15,682
<i>And a good-doin' meat</i>

824
00:58:15,758 --> 00:58:21,025
<i>Will carry me to my grave</i>

826
00:58:25,935 --> 00:58:28,199
<i>Miss Idgie,

827
00:58:28,271 --> 00:58:31,866
Yes.
Big George.

828
00:58:31,941 --> 00:58:35,240
<i>[Man]</i>
<i>Miss Ruth, me and the missus want to thank you...</i>

829
00:58:35,311 --> 00:58:37,472
for sendin' that soup over last night.

830
00:58:37,547 --> 00:58:41,779
I'll pay you when I get
ahead. You don't owe me, Ocie.

831
00:58:41,851 --> 00:58:44,513
Thank you. I'm just glad they're better.

832
00:58:44,587 --> 00:58:48,250
How is this, by the way?
It's good, very good.

833
00:58:48,324 --> 00:58:51,782
<i>[Ruth]</i>
<i>I'm not happy till I see clean plates.</i>

834
00:58:54,464 --> 00:58:56,989
Can't go on, Idgie.

835
00:58:57,066 --> 00:58:59,364
I'm talking to you as a friend.

836
00:58:59,435 --> 00:59:03,895
There's people in this town, paying
customers too... There you go.

837
00:59:03,973 --> 00:59:07,602
But some people don't like you...

838
00:59:07,677 --> 00:59:09,838
<i>sellin' to coloreds.</i>

839
00:59:09,913 --> 00:59:11,881
Here you go.

840
00:59:11,948 --> 00:59:15,850
Tell you what. Next time
those "some people" come here,

841
00:59:15,919 --> 00:59:18,353
I'm gonna ask if they
don't want anybody to know...

842
00:59:18,421 --> 00:59:20,582
who they are under those sheets...

843
00:59:20,657 --> 00:59:24,753
when they go marchin' in those stupid parades,

844
00:59:24,827 --> 00:59:27,660
how come they don't have
sense to change their shoes?

845
00:59:27,730 --> 00:59:31,063
Hold on there.
Y'all ain't foolin' anybody.

846
00:59:31,134 --> 00:59:35,332
I'd recognize those size 14
clodhoppers you got anywhere.

847

and took the lake with 'em.

01:13:19,828 --> 01:13:23,059
I heard he got run over
by a Brinks armored truck.

1017
01:13:23,132 --> 01:13:25,157
[Idgie]
What's he done?

1018
01:13:25,234 --> 01:13:29,227
Nothin' that we know of. We're tryin'
to find out what's been did to him.

1019
01:13:29,304 --> 01:13:32,796
He told his hired man he was
comin' to see his wife and baby,

1020
01:13:32,875 --> 01:13:36,868
but he ain't never showed up back home.

1021
01:13:36,945 --> 01:13:39,641
Hell, I told him if he showed up in this town,

1022
01:13:39,715 --> 01:13:41,842
we'd all have known.

1023
01:13:41,917 --> 01:13:44,351
Looks a little sissified to me.

1024
01:13:44,420 --> 01:13:48,413
From what I hear, most you boys in Georgia...

1025
01:13:48,490 --> 01:13:49,923
<i>are a little light
on your feet.</i>

1026
01:13:49,992 --> 01:13:53,155
That's the way I heard it.

1027
01:13:53,228 --> 01:13:55,355
Could I interest you in some pie?

1028
01:13:55,431 --> 01:13:59,333
No, ma'am, but that barbecue sure smells good.

1029
01:13:59,401 --> 01:14:02,837
Best damn barbecue in the state of Alabama.

1030
01:14:32,067 --> 01:14:34,695
Here you go.
That's your 4th one today.

1031
01:14:34,770 --> 01:14:37,603
I swear you're about to eat up all my barbecue.

1032
01:14:37,673 --> 01:14:43,478
Sit down.

1033
01:14:45,080 --> 01:14:47,275
You ain't foolin' me, girlie girl.

1034
01:14:47,349 --> 01:14:50,011
I know who you are.

1035
01:14:50,085 --> 01:14:53,248
I heard from Bennett's hired hand
that you threatened to kill Frank.

1036
01:14:53,322 --> 01:14:56,519
<i>He ain't showed up
dead yet.</i>

1037
01:14:56,592 --> 01:15:00,358
But if he does, you in a whole
mess of trouble. You understand?

1038
01:15:00,429 --> 01:15:04,490
<i>What we talkin'about
is murder here.</i>

1039
01:15:04,566 --> 01:15:07,763
<i>Runnin'a foul of the law
and nobody gets away with that,</i>

1040
01:15:07,836 --> 01:15:11,636
not even a bunch of Alabama smart alecks.

1041
01:15:11,707 --> 01:15:14,335
If I find so much as a hair of his head,

1042
01:15:14,409 --> 01:15:17,071
I'll arrest you faster than you can slap a tick,

1043
01:15:17,145 --> 01:15:22,708
<i>'cause I'm the law,
and you can't beat the law.</i>

1044
01:15:42,971 --> 01:15:46,338
Hey there.
[Sighs]

1045
01:15:46,408 --> 01:15:49,002
Tell me what he said.

1046
01:15:49,077 --> 01:15:53,946
Smoote's? I told you.
He said...

1047
01:15:54,016 --> 01:15:57,315
that was the best damn barbecue he ever had.

1048
01:15:57,386 --> 01:16:00,116
That's all?
No.

1049
01:16:00,188 --> 01:16:06,593
What else? He said the
pie was pretty good too.

1050
01:16:11,533 --> 01:16:14,195
You sure you ain't never seen this man, boy?

1051
01:16:14,269 --> 01:16:17,898
<i>[Big George]</i>
<i>Yes, sir, and I already told ya, I ain't never seen him.</i>

1052
01:16:17,973 --> 01:16:20,464
You'd do anything for
Miss Idgie, wouldn't ya, boy?

1053
01:16:22,377 --> 01:16:24,311
Yes, sir.

1054
01:16:27,549 --> 01:16:31,144
Would ya kill for her?
Did ya kill for her?

1055
01:16:38,527 --> 01:16:40,654
No, sir.

1056
01:16:40,729 --> 01:16:45,564
Well, now, maybe one of these
days you'll tell the truth.

1057
01:16:47,603 --> 01:16:50,299
Just remember, we hang
lyin' niggers in Georgia...

1058
01:16:50,372 --> 01:16:53,341
just as fast as they do in Alabama.

1059
01:16:53,408 --> 01:16:57,174

What are ya doin' in
here? No milk in the house.

1064
01:17:44,259 --> 01:17:46,352
Where were you?

1065
01:17:46,428 --> 01:17:49,363
Takin' care of business, havin' a good time.

1066
01:17:52,100 --> 01:17:55,661
I've been thinkin' maybe I should move on...

1067
01:17:55,737 --> 01:17:58,205
<i>because of Frank
and all.</i>

1068
01:17:58,273 --> 01:18:03,210
I just don't want you to feel like...

1069
01:18:03,278 --> 01:18:06,213
you have to look out for us.

1070
01:18:06,281 --> 01:18:08,715
<i>I just...</i>

1071
01:18:08,784 --> 01:18:11,014
don't want to be selfish, that's all.

1072
01:18:11,086 --> 01:18:13,418
Maybe if I wasn't here, you'd settle down.

1073
01:18:13,488 --> 01:18:18,391
I'm as settled as I ever hope to be.

1074
01:18:33,008 --> 01:18:37,707
Then... why can't you
tell me where you were?

1075
01:18:47,823 --> 01:18:51,315
I had a dream...
the other night.

1076
01:18:51,393 --> 01:18:56,695
I dreamt that Buddy was gone.

1077
01:18:56,765 --> 01:19:01,225
I ran to his crib and there
he was, sleepin' like an angel.

1078
01:19:01,303 --> 01:19:03,931
You know, I thanked God...

1079
01:19:04,005 --> 01:19:06,974
for lettin' me still have Buddy.

1080
01:19:07,042 --> 01:19:09,602
And I remembered...

1081
01:19:09,678 --> 01:19:13,409
havin' the same reaction
after Frank would beat me,

1082
01:19:13,482 --> 01:19:17,179
thankin' the Lord for givin' me
the strength to take it.

1083
01:19:17,252 --> 01:19:19,413
And I remembered...

1084
01:19:19,488 --> 01:19:23,925
thankin' the Lord for each day my mother lived,

1085
01:19:24,993 --> 01:19:28,292
even when she was spittin' up blood...

1086
01:19:28,363 --> 01:19:32,231
and prayin' for me to kill her.

1087
01:19:32,300 --> 01:19:36,396
<i>I looked in my mother's eyes
pleadin'for me to help her...</i>

1088
01:19:36,471 --> 01:19:40,965
and all I could do was pray.

1089
01:19:44,746 --> 01:19:48,739
While you were gone, as I was holdin' Buddy,

1090
01:19:48,817 --> 01:19:53,277
I thought if that bastard, Frank Bennett...

1091
01:19:53,355 --> 01:19:58,054
ever tries to take my child,

1092
01:19:58,126 --> 01:20:01,562
I won't pray.

1093
01:20:01,630 --> 01:20:04,224
I'll break his neck.

1094
01:20:07,569 --> 01:20:11,596
<i>Ruth, you don't have to worry
about Frank Bennett anymore.</i>

1095
01:20:11,673 --> 01:20:15,302
How can you say that?
It's his child too.

1096
01:20:15,377 --> 01:20:18,107
He won't give up on his blood.

1097
01:20:18,180 --> 01:20:21,547
I'm only gonna tell you this one time.

1098
01:20:23,451 --> 01:20:26,887
Frank Bennett won't be bothering you no more.

1099
01:20:26,955 --> 01:20:29,719
<i>Understand?</i>

1100
01:20:31,760 --> 01:20:34,160

1102
01:20:37,165 --> 01:20:39,429
No!

1103
01:20:46,341 --> 01:20:48,275
You don't believe me.

1104
01:20:48,343 --> 01:20:52,905
Right now, I don't know what to believe.

1105
01:20:55,383 --> 01:20:58,682
Believe me when I tell ya
I don't want ya to move out.

Well, I got mad and it felt terrific.

1183
01:26:27,515 --> 01:26:30,712
<i>[Ninny] Curtis Smoote was making one
of his visits to Whistle Stop, Alabama,</i>

1184
01:26:30,785 --> 01:26:33,583
<i>still huntin'and peckin'
for any scrap of evidence...</i>

1185
01:26:33,655 --> 01:26:36,681
<i>about Frank Bennett's
whereabouts.</i>

1186
01:26:36,758 --> 01:26:39,249
<i>[Ruth]</i>
<i>Who wants to begin? Oh, I do.</i>

1187
01:26:39,327 --> 01:26:41,158
<i>I do, Miss Ruth.
Thank you.</i>

1188
01:26:41,229 --> 01:26:44,494
We'll begin on page five.

1189
01:26:44,566 --> 01:26:47,831
<i>[Ninny]</i>
<i>Life has a funny way of working things out.</i>

1190
01:26:47,902 --> 01:26:49,733
Well, hey there!

1191
01:26:49,804 --> 01:26:53,365
<i>Smokey!
Idgie?</i>

1192
01:26:53,441 --> 01:26:56,968
Smokey Lonesome!
If it isn't old home week.

1193
01:26:57,045 --> 01:27:00,640
How are you? Well, I'm
rattlin' but I'm rollin'.

1194
01:27:00,715 --> 01:27:04,276
What brings you to these
parts? Smell of good cookin'.

1195
01:27:04,352 --> 01:27:05,944
Hey, Smokey.

1196
01:27:06,020 --> 01:27:09,080
Sipsey. Let me fix you some lunch.

1197
01:27:09,157 --> 01:27:13,560
You know just about everybody
except Curtis Smoote.

1198
01:27:13,628 --> 01:27:17,120
<i>He's the officer from
over at Valdosta, Georgia.</i>

1199
01:27:17,198 --> 01:27:21,294
He's been lookin' for the same man for
almost 5 years. Very stubborn fella.

1200
01:27:21,369 --> 01:27:25,305
<i>He loves our barbecue.</i>

1201
01:27:25,373 --> 01:27:26,704
<i>[Buddy, Jr.]
Mommy! Mommy!</i>

1202
01:27:27,408 --> 01:27:29,342
<i>[Screaming]</i>

1203
01:27:34,882 --> 01:27:36,816
<i>Buddy.</i>

1204
01:27:36,884 --> 01:27:38,818
Everybody outta the way.

1205
01:27:38,886 --> 01:27:42,652
Give him here.
Let him go. I've got him.

1206
01:27:44,626 --> 01:27:46,821
Come on. You're
gonna be all right.

1207
01:27:46,894 --> 01:27:49,226
Open the door!

1208
01:27:49,297 --> 01:27:53,358
<i>[Idgie]</i>
<i>Put him in the car. It's all right, honey.</i>

1209
01:27:57,972 --> 01:28:01,533
<i>["Taps"]</i>

1210
01:28:14,589 --> 01:28:16,489
<i>[Ruth]
I can understand...</i>

1211
01:28:16,557 --> 01:28:19,082
having a funeral for an arm.

1212
01:28:19,160 --> 01:28:22,687
I just don't know why she
insists on callin' him "Stump."

1213
01:28:22,764 --> 01:28:25,756
<i>[Sipsey]</i>
<i>She say everybody else gonna be callin'him that...</i>

1214
01:28:25,833 --> 01:28:29,929
so we might just as well be the first.

1215
01:28:30,004 --> 01:28:34,168
Okay, ice cream and cake for everybody.

1216
01:28:34,242 --> 01:28:36,039
Go on.

1217
01:28:40,315 --> 01:28:44,308
My daddy always used to say there
was a separate God for children.

1218
01:28:48,189 --> 01:28:51,716
<i>[Ninny]</i>
<i>The good Lord was watchin' over stump that day.</i>

1219
01:28:51,793 --> 01:28:55,160
<i>But then it started to rain
that month.</i>

1220
01:28:55,229 --> 01:29:00,064
<i>It rained and rained, and it
flooded parts of Whistle Stop.</i>

1221
01:29:00,134 --> 01:29:05,265
<i>That's why Grady's deputies stumbled
onto Frank Bennett's pickup truck,</i>

1222
01:29:05,340 --> 01:29:09,333
<i>and I just knew Idgie'd
never get out of this mess.</i>

1223
01:29:09,410 --> 01:29:13,176
Now, you in or out? Remember,
I didn't take any cards.

1224
01:29:13,247 --> 01:29:15,681
Look at me and let me see your face.

1225
01:29:15,750 --> 01:29:17,980
Idgie, I have to talk
to you. You're bluffin'.

1226
01:29:18,052 --> 01:29:21,818
Why don't you sit in? I'll deal
you a new hand. Gladys won't mind.

1227
01:29:21,889 --> 01:29:23,982
In private, Idgie.

1228
01:29:24,058 --> 01:29:27,084
Excuse us, Ruth.

1229
01:29:27,161 --> 01:29:31,427
A-ha. I'm just tryin' to teach
you not to fall for any tricks.

1230
01:29:31,499 --> 01:29:34,127
You're doin' a great job.

1231
01:29:42,944 --> 01:29:45,174
What's your hurry?

1232
01:29:45,246 --> 01:29:48,477
And what is so important?

1233
01:29:48,549 --> 01:29:50,779
What's that?

1234
01:29:50,852 --> 01:29:54,185
<i>[Grady]</i>
<i>Somebody found Frank Bennett's truck in the river.</i>

1235
01:29:54,255 --> 01:29:57,418
What's that got to do with me?

1236
01:29:57,492 --> 01:30:01,451
Officially, you and Big George
are under arrest for murder.

1237
01:30:01,529 --> 01:30:04,430
You're in my custody until tomorrow.

1238
01:30:04,499 --> 01:30:07,195
I'm supposed to take you to
Georgia first thing in the morning.

1239
01:30:09,270 --> 01:30:11,465
<i>Unless, of course...</i>

1240
01:30:11,539 --> 01:30:14,269
Well, some people have been known to pack up...

1241
01:30:14,342 --> 01:30:18,745
and sneak out of town
in the middle of the night.

1242
01:30:20,481 --> 01:30:23,041
<i>[Idgie]
What about Big George?</i>

1243
01:30:23,117 --> 01:30:25,847
Well, the way I figure it,

1244
01:30:25,920 --> 01:30:29,151
they'd be satisfied if they had him.

1245
01:30:29,223 --> 01:30:31,282
Idgie, this is serious.

1246
01:30:31,359 --> 01:30:33,953
We're talkin' murder of a white man.

1247
01:30:34,028 --> 01:30:36,258
Someone's gonna have to pay.

1248
01:30:36,330 --> 01:30:39,163
Nobody wants to hang a woman.

1249
01:30:40,701 --> 01:30:42,692
No deal.

1250
01:30:42,770 --> 01:30:45,364
Idgie, I know how you feel about Big George.

1251
01:30:45,440 --> 01:30:47,567
Hell, we all do.

1252
01:30:47,642 --> 01:30:50,805
But these just the facts of life.

1253
01:30:53,247 --> 01:30:55,511
I can't do that.

1254
01:30:55,583 --> 01:30:58,347
Take me to jail if you have to.

1255
01:30:58,419 --> 01:31:00,910
Well, that's what I thought you'd say...

1256
01:31:00,988 --> 01:31:03,388
'cause you're absolutely, unconditionally,

1257
01:31:03,458 --> 01:31:07,952
<i>positively the most stubborn
person I've known in my life.</i>

1258
01:31:09,797 --> 01:31:14,496
<i>[Ninny] Idgie and Big George went
to the county jail in Valdosta...</i>

1259
01:31:14,569 --> 01:31:18,369
<i>to await trial for
the murder of Frank Bennett.</i>

1260
01:31:18,439 --> 01:31:20,566
<i>They didn't have
to wait too long.</i>

1261
01:31:20,641 --> 01:31:24,042
Did you know Frank Bennett? No, sir.

1262
01:31:24,111 --> 01:31:26,511
You mean, you never met the man...

1263
01:31:26,581 --> 01:31:31,109
<i>whose wife, Ruth, is your
business partner? That's right.</i>

1264
01:31:31,185 --> 01:31:34,018
You never threatened to kill
Frank Bennett at his home...

1265
01:31:34,088 --> 01:31:37,785
in front of his hired man in June of 1932?

1266
01:31:37,859 --> 01:31:42,887
<i>The same Frank Bennett you did not
know. Oh, that was me, all right.</i>

1267
01:31:42,964 --> 01:31:46,195
<i>I thought you wanted to know if we'd
ever met... and the answer is no.</i>

1268
01:31:46,267 --> 01:31:48,827
<i>Um, I threatened to kill him,</i>

1269
01:31:48,903 --> 01:31:53,067
<i>but we were never, what you
might say, properly introduced.</i>

1270
01:31:53,140 --> 01:31:57,133
Is it not true that in September
of 1932 you came to Valdosta...

1271
01:31:57,211 --> 01:32:01,045
<i>and took Frank Bennett's wife and
child back to Alabama with you?</i>

1272
01:32:01,115 --> 01:32:03,583
Um... just the wife.
The child came later.

1273
01:32:03,651 --> 01:32:07,109
How much later? The usual. Nine months.

1274
01:32:07,188 --> 01:32:10,055
<i>[Laughter]</i>
<i>I suggest that you bribed...</i>

1275
01:32:10,124 --> 01:32:15,426
this poor, weak woman with
promises of liquor and money,

1276
01:32:15,496 --> 01:32:19,227
and she lost control of her senses momentarily.

1277
01:32:19,300 --> 01:32:22,292
When her husband came back
to get her and take her home,

1278
01:32:22,370 --> 01:32:27,000
you and your colored man
murdered him in cold blood.

1279
01:32:28,209 --> 01:32:29,801
No, sir.

1280
01:32:29,877 --> 01:32:35,144
Well, where were you on the
night of September 30, 1933?

1281
01:32:35,216 --> 01:32:37,514
I was at the town hall doing a show.

1282
01:32:37,585 --> 01:32:40,679
And after that? I was
at my mother's house.

1283
01:32:40,755 --> 01:32:43,280
Oh, yeah?
Who was with you?

1284
01:32:43,357 --> 01:32:47,691
<i>Just Big George and myself. What about
your mother? Can she confirm that?</i>

1285
01:32:47,762 --> 01:32:50,026
No, sir.
She died a year ago.

1286
01:32:50,097 --> 01:32:52,588
I'm sorry to hear that.

1287
01:32:52,667 --> 01:32:56,364
But do you expect 12 intelligent
men to believe you,

1288
01:32:56,437 --> 01:32:59,065
although one witness is dead and
the other is a colored man,

1289
01:32:59,140 --> 01:33:02,541
known to be a worthless,
no-good, lying nigger?

1290
01:33:02,610 --> 01:33:04,874
You expect these men to take your word for it...

1291
01:33:04,946 --> 01:33:07,608
<i>Just because
you say so?</i>

1292
01:33:07,682 --> 01:33:12,210
That's right, you gump-faced,
blown-up, baboon-assed bastard!

1293
01:33:12,286 --> 01:33:15,744
<i>[Gasping]</i>
<i>One more outburst like that...</i>

1294
01:33:15,823 --> 01:33:19,315
and I'll hold you in contempt
of court. You understand?

1295
01:33:19,393 --> 01:33:22,191
Yes, sir.

1296
01:33:23,898 --> 01:33:27,459
Oh, Lord.
Next witness.

1297
01:33:30,037 --> 01:33:31,504
<i>[Prosecutor]</i>
<i>Did you know that you were pregnant...</i>

1298
01:33:31,572 --> 01:33:34,507
<i>at the time
you left Valdosta?</i>

1299
01:33:34,575 --> 01:33:36,509
<i>[Ruth]
Yes.</i>

1300
01:33:36,577 --> 01:33:40,172
<i>And yet, you tell us
over and over...</i>

1301
01:33:40,247 --> 01:33:44,809
<i>that you went with this
woman... willingly?</i>

1302
01:33:44,885 --> 01:33:49,083
Yes. I wouldn't raise
my child with Frank Bennett.

1303
01:33:49,156 --> 01:33:51,249
<i>But why?</i>

1304
01:33:51,325 --> 01:33:55,523
<i>Did this woman promise you money? No.</i>

1305
01:33:55,596 --> 01:33:58,156
<i>A bigger home?</i>

1306
01:33:58,232 --> 01:34:01,326
No. No.

1307
01:34:01,402 --> 01:34:04,030
<i>Then tell us,
Mrs. Bennett,</i>

1308
01:34:04,105 --> 01:34:06,630
<i>why would a respectable
Christian woman...</i>

1309
01:34:06,707 --> 01:34:09,505
<i>go anywhere with this Idgie
Threadgoode... I object.</i>

1310
01:34:09,577 --> 01:34:11,704
<i>Whose reputation
is known far and wide...</i>

1311
01:34:11,779 --> 01:34:14,009
<i>as a notorious liar
and drunkard?</i>

1312
01:34:14,081 --> 01:34:16,379
<i>- Objection!
- Sustained!</i>

1313
01:34:19,787 --> 01:34:22,085
<i>Why did you leave...</i>

1314
01:34:22,156 --> 01:34:26,115
<i>with Idgie Threadgoode
that day?</i>

1315
01:34:27,528 --> 01:34:30,827
<i>[Judge]</i>
<i>Answer the question, Mrs. Bennett.</i>

1316
01:34:31,699 --> 01:34:34,725
Because she...

1317
01:34:37,304 --> 01:34:39,898
She's the best friend I ever had,

1318
01:34:39,974 --> 01:34:42,067
and I love her.

1319
01:34:42,777 --> 01:34:45,678
<i>[Prosecutor]</i>
<i>Thank you, Mrs. Bennett. That will be all.</i>

1320
01:34:45,746 --> 01:34:48,579
<i>[Defense Attorney]</i>
<i>The defense calls as its last witness...</i>

1321
01:34:48,649 --> 01:34:51,379
<i>the Rev.
Herbert Scroggins.</i>

1322
01:34:52,720 --> 01:34:55,712
Place your right hand on the Bible, please.

1323
01:34:55,790 --> 01:34:58,987
I brought my own, if you don't mind.

1324
01:34:59,060 --> 01:35:03,121
You swear to tell the whole
truth and nothing but the truth?

1325
01:35:03,197 --> 01:35:05,188
I do.

1326
01:35:07,234 --> 01:35:11,466
<i>[Defense Attorney]</i>
<i>You have information about the whereabouts...</i>

1327
01:35:11,539 --> 01:35:15,134
<i>of Idgie Threadgoode and her
colored man, known as Big George,</i>

1328
01:35:15,209 --> 01:35:18,975
on the night of September 30, 1933?

1329
01:35:19,046 --> 01:35:21,014
Yes, sir, I do.

1330
01:35:21,082 --> 01:35:23,516
<i>It has been
suggested here...</i>

1331
01:35:23,584 --> 01:35:27,042
<i>that she and her colored man
were at her mother's house.</i>

1332
01:35:27,121 --> 01:35:31,353
<i>Can you confirm that?
No, sir. That is a lie.</i>

1333
01:35:31,425 --> 01:35:34,155
[Whispering]
Oh, shit.

1334
01:35:34,228 --> 01:35:37,459
<i>[Rev. Scroggins]</i>
<i>It has been my habit to write all the dates...</i>

1335

<i>of the activities of
the church in my Bible.</i>

1336
01:35:40,534 --> 01:35:45,198
<i>I show that the night
of September 30, 1933...</i>

1337
01:35:45,272 --> 01:35:48,298
was the start of our annual revival...

1338
01:35:48,375 --> 01:35:51,139
down at the Baptist campground.

1339
01:35:51,212 --> 01:35:53,305
Sister Threadgoode was there...

1340
01:35:53,380 --> 01:35:57,407
<i>along with her hired man, George Pullman,</i>

1341
01:35:57,485 --> 01:36:01,615

barbecue as he has been...

01:36:01,689 --> 01:36:04,351
<i>for the last ten years.
Objection.</i>

1343

That doesn't mean anything. Murder could've
taken place any time the next couple of days.

1344
01:36:09,029 --> 01:36:14,057
<i>Have you ever been to one of
our revivals, sir? Well, no.</i>

1345
01:36:14,135 --> 01:36:16,194
Do you attend church regularly, sir?

1346
01:36:16,270 --> 01:36:18,465
'Course I do.

1347
01:36:18,539 --> 01:36:23,067
<i>Good. Well, maybe if you
attended one of our revivals,</i>

1348
01:36:23,144 --> 01:36:25,510
<i>you'd know
they last three days...</i>

1349
01:36:25,579 --> 01:36:27,911
and three nights, Your Honor.

1351
01:36:30,184 --> 01:36:33,153
<i>[Judge]
Approach the bench.</i>

1352
01:36:33,220 --> 01:36:37,919
Percy, it don't look like you got a case at all.

1353
01:36:37,992 --> 01:36:40,552
In the first place, there's no body.

1354
01:36:40,628 --> 01:36:43,893
Second, we got us a preacher
nobody's gonna dispute.

1355
01:36:43,964 --> 01:36:48,162
But, Your Honor... I'm tellin' you.
What you got is a lot of nothing.

1356
01:36:48,235 --> 01:36:51,466
<i>[Judge]</i>
<i>I say Frank Bennett got himself drunk,</i>

1357
01:36:51,539 --> 01:36:55,703
<i>drove into the river and
was long ago eaten up...</i>

1358
01:36:55,776 --> 01:36:58,939
and I don't give a good goddamn!

1359
01:36:59,013 --> 01:37:02,471
What we got here is a case of accidental death.

1360
01:37:02,550 --> 01:37:04,177
Case dismissed.

1361
01:37:04,251 --> 01:37:06,685
Whoo!

1362
01:37:13,627 --> 01:37:16,528
See you in church, Sister?

1363
01:37:17,431 --> 01:37:19,661
Reverend.

1364
01:37:19,733 --> 01:37:24,033
I can't believe he actually swore on a Bible.

1365
01:37:24,104 --> 01:37:26,038
Well, not really.

1366
01:37:26,106 --> 01:37:28,097
If that judge had looked closer,

1367
01:37:28,175 --> 01:37:31,235
<i>he'd have seen it was really
a copy of Moby Dick.</i>

1368
01:37:33,280 --> 01:37:37,683
But why did he do it? For the sheer
joy of seeing you in church again...

1369
01:37:37,751 --> 01:37:40,584
which I suggested to him might be your penance.

1370
01:37:40,654 --> 01:37:43,282
You didn't promise him,
did you? Yes, ma'am, I did.

1371
01:37:43,357 --> 01:37:45,291
And I never break my word.

1372
01:37:45,359 --> 01:37:49,728
If I live 1,000 years, I will never forgive you.

1373
01:37:49,797 --> 01:37:53,961
I don't know what's worse, church or jail.

1374
01:38:04,945 --> 01:38:08,073
There now.
Don't you look pretty?

1375
01:38:08,148 --> 01:38:10,275
Oh, yes, honey.

1376
01:38:10,351 --> 01:38:15,015
You'll have me lookin' like
Ginger Rogers before you're done.

1377
01:38:15,089 --> 01:38:19,321
Don't let Mr. Dunaway see me.
He's liable to go wild.

1378
01:38:20,828 --> 01:38:24,059
I'm glad to see you're in a good mood.

1379
01:38:24,131 --> 01:38:27,259
You've slimmed down quite a bit
in the last few weeks.

1380
01:38:27,334 --> 01:38:31,634
I'm just so happy Big George and Idgie got off.

1381
01:38:31,705 --> 01:38:34,697
I would have killed Frank Bennett if I could've.

1382
01:38:34,775 --> 01:38:37,300
Did anybody really think she did it?

1383
01:38:37,378 --> 01:38:40,006
Some said yes, some said no.

1384
01:38:40,080 --> 01:38:43,208
'Course the only one who really
knew was Frank Bennett.

1385
01:38:43,284 --> 01:38:48,688

1389

I need some light and air.

1390
01:39:21,021 --> 01:39:24,218
Why don't you take one of
your walks or your jog...

1391

1392
01:39:27,895 --> 01:39:30,796
There's no dinner either!

been goin' to all these classes?

1394

<i>No. I've been trying
to save our marriage.</i>

your butt drinking beer...

1397

you from Mrs. Threadgoode.

1402
01:40:09,603 --> 01:40:13,300
She is so sweet. She's been
lookin' after my mother-in-law.

1403
01:40:13,374 --> 01:40:16,138
Now, how is Mrs. Otis doin', by the way?

1404
01:40:16,210 --> 01:40:20,670
Much better, thank you. It takes
time getting used to a strange place.

1405
01:40:20,748 --> 01:40:24,775
I'm glad to hear it. Mrs.
Threadgoode's been anxious to get home.

1406
01:40:24,852 --> 01:40:29,050
Mrs. Couch, Mrs. Threadgoode
doesn't have a house anymore.

1407
01:40:29,123 --> 01:40:32,581
They tore that down. What?

1408
01:40:32,659 --> 01:40:36,891
They had to. It was falling
apart, and it was condemned.

1409
01:40:36,964 --> 01:40:39,899
Oh, no.

1410
01:40:39,967 --> 01:40:44,165
<i>Does she know that? No, well, we
didn't see any point in telling her.</i>

Do you like my roses?

1417
01:42:11,325 --> 01:42:14,658
Since I can't get home
to look at my own roses...

1418
01:42:14,728 --> 01:42:17,094
I made myself a paper garden.

1419

<i>till that fall

<i>By the time Doc Hadley looked at her,</i>

1443
01:43:56,029 --> 01:44:00,227
<i>he said the cancer was so bad

1444
01:44:00,300 --> 01:44:03,030
<i>Well, we moved her
to the Threadgoode house...</i>

1445
01:44:03,103 --> 01:44:07,938
<i>and put her downstairs
so she'd be more comfortable.</i>

1451
01:44:44,878 --> 01:44:49,076

come to the funeral.

1452
01:44:49,149 --> 01:44:51,811

Did I ever tell you about

How it never felt sorry for itself...

1468

dumb dog and not feel sorry for myself.

You listen to everything I say, don't you?

1470

01:48:51,725 --> 01:48:54,660
Tell me a story, Idgie.

1510
01:48:57,531 --> 01:49:01,365
[Whispering]
Oh, God.

1511
01:49:01,434 --> 01:49:04,528
<i>Go on,
you old bee charmer.</i>

1512
01:49:04,604 --> 01:49:08,267
<i>Tell me
a good tall tale.</i>

1513
01:49:09,676 --> 01:49:13,373
Tell me the one about the lake.

1514
01:49:14,681 --> 01:49:19,311
What lake? The one...
that used to be here.

1515
01:49:21,454 --> 01:49:23,388
Oh.

1516
01:49:25,458 --> 01:49:29,019
Well, that was just a lie.

1517
01:49:29,095 --> 01:49:31,859
I know that, fool.

1518
01:49:31,932 --> 01:49:33,991
Tell me anyway.

1519
01:49:34,067 --> 01:49:37,468
Tell me the story.

1520
01:49:39,039 --> 01:49:42,475
Well...

1521
01:49:44,511 --> 01:49:46,979
one time...

1522
01:49:47,047 --> 01:49:49,845
there was this lake.

1523
01:49:54,287 --> 01:49:58,656
And, uh, it was right outside of town.

1524
01:49:58,725 --> 01:50:04,163
We used to go fishin' and
swimmin' and canoein' in it.

1525
01:50:04,230 --> 01:50:07,461
And see, one November...

1526
01:50:07,534 --> 01:50:09,832
this big flock of ducks...

1527
01:50:09,903 --> 01:50:14,931
came in and landed on that lake and, uh,

1528
01:50:15,008 --> 01:50:19,843
and then the temperature dropped so fast
that the lake just froze right there.

1529
01:50:19,913 --> 01:50:22,177
And the, uh,

1530
01:50:22,248 --> 01:50:26,014
the ducks, they...

1531
01:50:26,086 --> 01:50:30,250
flew off, you see, and took that lake with 'em.

1532
01:50:30,323 --> 01:50:33,554
And, uh,

1533
01:50:33,627 --> 01:50:38,621
now they say that lake is
somewhere over in Georgia.

1534
01:50:38,698 --> 01:50:41,758
Can you imagine?

1535
01:51:39,459 --> 01:51:42,724
It's all right, honey.

1536
01:51:42,796 --> 01:51:48,765
Let her go.

1537
01:51:48,835 --> 01:51:53,067
You know, Miss Ruth was a lady.

1538
01:51:53,139 --> 01:51:56,404
And a lady always knows...

1539
01:51:56,476 --> 01:51:59,468
when to leave.

1540
01:51:59,546 --> 01:52:03,209
[Sigh]

1541
01:52:04,984 --> 01:52:09,080
<i>[Rev. Scroggins]</i>
<i>When I think on our departed sister, Ruth Jamison,</i>

1542
01:52:09,155 --> 01:52:12,249
<i>I'm reminded of our
Lord's Sermon on the Mount...</i>

1543
01:52:12,325 --> 01:52:14,793
<i>and how his teachings...</i>

1544
01:52:14,861 --> 01:52:19,298
<i>[Ninny]</i>
<i>It's funny how strong Ruth affected everyone,</i>

1545
01:52:19,365 --> 01:52:22,766
<i>even Smokey Lonesome.</i>

1546
01:52:22,836 --> 01:52:25,498
<i>When he died
a few years back...</i>

1547
01:52:25,572 --> 01:52:28,268
<i>he had one possession on him,</i>

1548
01:52:28,341 --> 01:52:30,935
<i>a picture of Ruth.</i>

1549
01:52:32,312 --> 01:52:36,408
<i>He was in love with her
from the first time he saw her.</i>

1550
01:52:36,483 --> 01:52:39,350
<i>We all were.</i>

1551
01:52:45,325 --> 01:52:47,793
I shouldn't
a-told you this.

1552
01:52:49,729 --> 01:52:53,688
I hate death.
It scares me so.

1553
01:52:53,767 --> 01:52:56,292
Death is nothin' to be afraid of!

1554
01:52:56,369 --> 01:52:59,429
Look at me. I'm at
the jumpin'-off place,

1555
01:52:59,506 --> 01:53:02,737
<i>and I ain't afraid
one bit.</i>

1556
01:53:02,809 --> 01:53:06,506
Oh, Ninny, you're so brave.

1557
01:53:08,081 --> 01:53:12,017
Ruth and Idgie were brave, not me.

1558
01:53:12,085 --> 01:53:15,452
I wouldn't be afraid of death if I was you.

1559
01:53:15,522 --> 01:53:20,459
I'd be more afraid of driving
in rush-hour traffic.

1560
01:53:22,729 --> 01:53:27,666
Oh-oh-oh

1561
01:53:27,734 --> 01:53:30,567
Just listen to that rain

1562
01:53:30,637 --> 01:53:33,105
A-rainin' in the north

1563
01:53:33,173 --> 01:53:34,765
A-rainin' in the south

1564
01:53:34,841 --> 01:53:38,140
A-rainin' in the east

1565
01:53:38,211 --> 01:53:40,372
A-rainin' in the west

1566
01:53:40,446 --> 01:53:42,846
Ooh-ooh

1567
01:53:42,916 --> 01:53:46,443
Tell me didn't it rain children

1568
01:53:46,519 --> 01:53:48,453
<i>Rain all night long</i>

1569
01:53:48,521 --> 01:53:50,682
<i>Didn't it you know it did</i>

1570
01:53:50,757 --> 01:53:55,023
<i>I said, o my good Lord didn't it rain</i>

1571
01:53:55,094 --> 01:53:58,530
Hey, it rained 40 days and
40 nights without stoppin'

1572
01:53:58,598 --> 01:54:00,998
Noah got worried
and the rain kept a-droppin'

1573
01:54:01,067 --> 01:54:03,467
He sent out a raven Sent out a dove

1574
01:54:03,536 --> 01:54:05,834
The water, good God came down from above

1575
01:54:05,905 --> 01:54:08,169
<i>They tell me my God
went and sent the rain</i>

1576
01:54:08,241 --> 01:54:10,675
The women and the children did begin to scream

1577
01:54:10,743 --> 01:54:12,802
They knocked on the windows
and they batted at the doors

1578
01:54:12,879 --> 01:54:15,780
While they... Hoo, hoo
Take on more

1579
01:54:15,849 --> 01:54:18,113
<i>Noah said No, no, my friend</i>

1580
01:54:18,184 --> 01:54:20,311
<i>God said I can't let you in</i>

1581
01:54:20,386 --> 01:54:23,014
Hoo, hoo

1582
01:54:23,089 --> 01:54:25,523
Listen to the rain

1583
01:54:25,592 --> 01:54:30,325
Uh-oh
Just listen to the rain

1584
01:54:30,396 --> 01:54:32,694
Listen to the rain

1585
01:54:32,765 --> 01:54:34,790
Just listen to the rain Oh, oh

1586
01:54:34,868 --> 01:54:37,837
Listen, a-listen to the rain
Oh, oh, listen

1587
01:54:37,904 --> 01:54:40,270
Listen to the rain Yeah, yeah, listen

1588
01:54:40,340 --> 01:54:42,774
Listen to the rain
Uh-oh, listen

1589
01:54:42,842 --> 01:54:45,333
<i>Listen to the rain Yeah, yeah, listen</i>

1590
01:54:45,411 --> 01:54:49,871
<i>Last chance Listen to the rain now</i>

1591
01:54:49,949 --> 01:54:52,543
<i>And then drip, drop drip, drop</i>

1592
01:54:52,619 --> 01:54:56,749
Drip, drop drip,
drip, a-drop drip, drop

1593
01:54:57,423 --> 01:54:59,857
<i>Yeah, drip, drip, a-drop</i>

1594
01:54:59,926 --> 01:55:02,087
<i>Now, drip, drop</i>

1595
01:55:02,161 --> 01:55:05,961
<i>Drip, drip, a-drop</i>

1596
01:55:15,675 --> 01:55:18,667
Hi, honey.
Look what I got you.

1597
01:55:18,745 --> 01:55:20,770
Ah...

1598
01:55:20,847 --> 01:55:24,305
Ed, how sweet!

1599
01:55:24,384 --> 01:55:26,818
Lilies! My favorite. Yeah.

1600
01:55:26,886 --> 01:55:30,014
I know.
Sometimes I even amaze myself.

1601
01:55:30,089 --> 01:55:34,185
What's the occasion?
Oh, honey, I just...

1602
01:55:34,260 --> 01:55:37,229
feel sorry about the past few months.

1603
01:55:37,297 --> 01:55:41,290
I don't know what you're really
up to and what's going on with you,

1604
01:55:41,367 --> 01:55:45,770
but I guess I could've been more helpful
with your job and everything, you know.

1605
01:55:47,006 --> 01:55:48,871
Well, why are you...

1606
01:55:48,942 --> 01:55:51,911
puttin' up this wall
where you just tore one down?

1607
01:55:51,978 --> 01:55:55,106
Well...
I changed my mind.

1608
01:55:55,181 --> 01:55:57,945
I don't mean to seem dense or anything,

1609
01:55:58,017 --> 01:56:02,249
but what's changed?
The air and the light.

1610
01:56:04,624 --> 01:56:07,218
Ed...
Hmm?

1611
01:56:07,293 --> 01:56:09,761
You remember how you used to tell me...

1612
01:56:09,829 --> 01:56:12,559
you always wanted two women in your house?

1613
01:56:12,632 --> 01:56:14,930
[Laughing]
Oh, God.

1614
01:56:15,001 --> 01:56:16,662
Yeah.

1615
01:56:16,736 --> 01:56:18,761
Well...

1616
01:56:18,838 --> 01:56:21,773
what if I was the younger of the two?

1617
01:56:21,841 --> 01:56:25,368
I don't believe I get your drift.

1618
01:56:25,445 --> 01:56:29,973
I want something more than I've
ever wanted anything before.

1619
01:56:30,049 --> 01:56:32,813
I want to bring
Mrs. Threadgoode...

1620
01:56:32,885 --> 01:56:35,080
to our home.

1621
01:56:35,154 --> 01:56:37,782
I want her to live here with us.

1622
01:56:37,857 --> 01:56:40,348
I want to give her the love she's given me.

1623
01:56:40,426 --> 01:56:44,590
[Snicker] You're kiddin' me, aren't you?
I'm absolutely serious.

1624
01:56:44,664 --> 01:56:49,499
That's why I'm puttin' the
wall to Kyle's room back up.

1625
01:56:49,569 --> 01:56:52,629
Well, honey, this isn't
something you're just go and do.

1626
01:56:52,705 --> 01:56:55,367
I mean, she's an old woman.

1627
01:56:55,441 --> 01:56:58,672
What if she got sick?
Who's gonna take care of her?

1628
01:56:58,745 --> 01:57:00,440
I will!

1629
01:57:00,513 --> 01:57:02,504
I can't leave her in that place.

1630
01:57:02,582 --> 01:57:06,484
She's not a stray cat.
Hell, she isn't even family.

1631
01:57:06,552 --> 01:57:09,612
She's family to me.
Now, Evelyn.

1632
01:57:10,456 --> 01:57:13,516
<i>Evelyn?</i>

1633
01:57:13,593 --> 01:57:15,458
<i>Honey?</i>

1634
01:57:15,528 --> 01:57:17,519
<i>Ah, look...</i>

1635
01:57:17,597 --> 01:57:21,829
have you mentioned this harebrained idea to her?

1636
01:57:21,901 --> 01:57:24,961
Not yet.
Well, good!

1637
01:57:25,038 --> 01:57:27,506
Then we'll just pretend it never happened.

1638
01:57:27,573 --> 01:57:30,599
I'm making my own money.
I'll pay for everything.

1639
01:57:30,676 --> 01:57:34,237
You don't have to do a thing.

1640
01:57:34,313 --> 01:57:36,804
Evelyn...

1641
01:57:36,883 --> 01:57:39,351
it's never gonna happen.

1642
01:57:39,419 --> 01:57:42,081
So just forget about it.

1643
01:57:43,689 --> 01:57:46,453
Don't you ever say "never" to me.

1644
01:57:55,401 --> 01:57:58,199
Someone helped put a mirror
up in front of my face,

1645
01:57:58,271 --> 01:58:00,865
and I didn't like what I saw one bit.

1646
01:58:00,940 --> 01:58:04,774
You know what I did?
I changed.

1647
01:58:04,844 --> 01:58:08,746
And that someone...
was Mrs. Threadgoode.

1648
01:58:08,815 --> 01:58:13,309
She needs my love and care,
and I'm gonna give it to her.

1649
01:58:15,088 --> 01:58:18,717
If you'll excuse me, I have to go to the gym.

1650
01:58:23,663 --> 01:58:26,689
And if you won't listen to reason...

1651
01:58:26,766 --> 01:58:30,395
there's always Towanda.

1652
01:58:45,184 --> 01:58:48,153
Hey, Nin...

1653
01:58:50,823 --> 01:58:53,849
What are you doing?

1654
01:58:53,926 --> 01:58:56,656
Those are her things,
Mrs. Threadgoode's things!

1655
01:58:56,729 --> 01:58:59,823
What are you doing in here?
Where's Mrs. Threadgoode? Who?

1656
01:58:59,899 --> 01:59:02,732
Mrs. Threadgoode! The woman
who lives here. Are you deaf?

1657
01:59:02,802 --> 01:59:05,703
I'm sorry, miss.
All they told me...

1658
01:59:05,771 --> 01:59:09,969
was that the woman who lived
in here died this morning.

1659
01:59:11,844 --> 01:59:13,971
Oh, my God!

1660
01:59:14,046 --> 01:59:18,380
Wha... What
are you sayin'?

1661
01:59:18,451 --> 01:59:20,612
<i>She died early
this morning.</i>

1662
01:59:20,686 --> 01:59:25,020
<i>They were shorthanded so they asked
me to take all this stuff down.</i>

1663
01:59:25,091 --> 01:59:27,582
<i>That's all I know.</i>

1664
01:59:46,979 --> 01:59:48,913
Stop that!

1665
01:59:48,981 --> 01:59:51,347
What is the matter with you people?

1666
01:59:51,417 --> 01:59:54,352
Can't you wait a goddamn day, for Chrissake?

1667
01:59:54,420 --> 01:59:57,412
Do you have no respect?
These are her things!

1668
01:59:57,490 --> 02:00:01,654
I'm sorry, but they told me to get
this room ready for another patient.

1669
02:00:01,727 --> 02:00:04,924
She may be just another patient to you,

1670
02:00:04,997 --> 02:00:09,093
but she was my friend,
and I loved her. I'm sorry.

1671
02:00:09,168 --> 02:00:11,102
I'm just following orders.

1672
02:00:11,170 --> 02:00:14,105
What is going on? Why
didn't you call me?

1673
02:00:14,173 --> 02:00:17,506
You could've called me before
you sent that idiot... I'm sorry.

1674
02:00:17,577 --> 02:00:20,239
It never occurred to me that
you would take it this hard.

1675
02:00:20,313 --> 02:00:23,942
I didn't even get to tell
her good-bye. Oh, I know.

1676
02:00:24,016 --> 02:00:27,975
These things are difficult, but
she died peacefully in her sleep.

1677
02:00:28,054 --> 02:00:31,319
To tell you the truth, I thought
you'd be happy for Mrs. Threadgoode.

1678
02:00:31,390 --> 02:00:34,416
Happy? Why, yes! This
is what she wanted.

1679
02:00:34,493 --> 02:00:36,427
What?
To be dead?

1680
02:00:36,495 --> 02:00:39,020
No, to go home.
You just missed her.

1681
02:00:39,098 --> 02:00:41,532
She left in a yellow cab about a half hour ago.

1682
02:00:41,601 --> 02:00:44,297
I don't understand.
What? A cab?

1683
02:00:44,370 --> 02:00:48,636
She said there wasn't no reason for
her to stay now that Mrs. Otis had died.

1684
02:00:48,708 --> 02:00:51,336
Mrs...

1685
02:00:51,410 --> 02:00:53,571
Otis is dead?

1686
02:00:53,646 --> 02:00:57,514
Oh, Mrs. Otis died.

1687
02:00:57,583 --> 02:00:59,574
Mrs. Otis died!

1688
02:00:59,652 --> 02:01:02,849
Mrs. Otis!
Oh, God!

1689
02:01:02,922 --> 02:01:06,949
Not that... I'm glad that
Mrs. Otis died, it's just...

1690
02:01:07,026 --> 02:01:09,654
Oh, God, I've gotta stop her.

1691
02:01:49,101 --> 02:01:52,332
Hey, Evelyn, somebody stole my house.

1692
02:01:52,405 --> 02:01:55,306
It was right here when I left.

1693
02:01:55,374 --> 02:02:00,141
Unless... Oh, Evelyn, you
don't reckon I'm crazy, do you?

1694
02:02:00,212 --> 02:02:04,410
It was here when I left.
No, honey, you're not crazy.

1695
02:02:04,483 --> 02:02:07,247
This is the place.

1696
02:02:07,320 --> 02:02:11,347
Why would anyone want to
steal an old lady's home?

1697
02:02:11,424 --> 02:02:13,551
Wasn't worth nothin'.

1698
02:02:13,626 --> 02:02:17,027
Oh, honey, nobody stole it.

1699
02:02:17,096 --> 02:02:20,964
They had to tear it down.
It was condemned.

1700
02:02:21,033 --> 02:02:23,160
I'm sorry.
I shoulda told you.

1701
02:02:23,235 --> 02:02:26,500
Well, somebody shoulda told me.

1702
02:02:26,572 --> 02:02:31,407
I'm old. I'm not a child. I'm sorry.

1703
02:02:31,477 --> 02:02:34,810
My husband Cleo and I lived in this house...

1704
02:02:34,880 --> 02:02:37,371
for more than 40 years.

1705
02:02:37,450 --> 02:02:40,851
Now, it's... it's gone.

1706
02:02:40,920 --> 02:02:44,481
83 years worth of livin'
and all that's left of me...

1707
02:02:44,557 --> 02:02:48,584
is what's in this box, a
bunch of old cards and pictures.

1708
02:02:48,661 --> 02:02:51,129
Come on.
I'll take you home.

1709
02:02:51,197 --> 02:02:53,324
This is my home!

1710
02:02:53,399 --> 02:02:55,390
And now it's gone.

1711
02:02:55,468 --> 02:02:57,993
And Mrs. Otis
is gone.

1712
02:02:58,070 --> 02:03:00,163
I...

1713
02:03:00,239 --> 02:03:02,833
I don't quite know what to do.

1714
02:03:02,908 --> 02:03:06,742
This is the first time I can remember
when I don't have a soul to look after.

1715
02:03:06,812 --> 02:03:09,178
You can come look after me and Ed.

1716
02:03:09,248 --> 02:03:11,546
Oh, you're sweet,

1717
02:03:11,617 --> 02:03:14,415
but I think you're doin' just fine on your own.

1718
02:03:14,487 --> 02:03:18,787
Don't you know you'd be like a gift for us?

1719
02:03:18,858 --> 02:03:22,021
You're the reason I get up every morning...

1720
02:03:22,094 --> 02:03:25,427
and that Mary Kay's havin' such a good year...

1721
02:03:25,498 --> 02:03:30,060
and I don't look like some
blob from a horror movie.

1722
02:03:30,136 --> 02:03:34,163
Well, with a little help from Idgie and Ruth.

1723
02:03:35,741 --> 02:03:38,266
Come on. I've got
your room all ready.

1724
02:03:38,344 --> 02:03:40,744
What does Ed say about all this?

1725
02:03:40,813 --> 02:03:44,647
He'll learn to love it.

1726
02:03:48,120 --> 02:03:52,250
Did I ever tell you that Mrs.
Otis was Sipsey's baby sister?

1727
02:03:52,324 --> 02:03:54,986
No, ma'am.
Yes, she was.

1728
02:03:55,060 --> 02:03:58,928
Mrs. Otis was with Sipsey
and me the night Sipsey died.

1729
02:03:58,998 --> 02:04:04,163
Sipsey told me a story that night
I've never told a living soul, Evelyn.

1730
02:04:04,236 --> 02:04:07,364
<i>A story about
what really happened...</i>

1731
02:04:07,440 --> 02:04:10,773
<i>the night Frank Bennett
disappeared.</i>

1732
02:04:35,067 --> 02:04:37,501
<i>[Applause, Whistling]</i>

1733
02:04:43,342 --> 02:04:46,869
Hey there! You got to come quick.

1734
02:04:46,946 --> 02:04:51,906
The show has hardly begun. You
got to come quick. You hear me?

1735
02:04:57,823 --> 02:05:00,417
Run, get help! Run,
quick! Where's the baby?

1736
02:05:00,493 --> 02:05:02,290
Never mind.

1737
02:05:04,530 --> 02:05:06,657
[Baby Crying]

1738
02:05:09,935 --> 02:05:12,870

1739
02:05:21,013 --> 02:05:22,674
Excuse me, sir.

1740
02:05:22,748 --> 02:05:28,243
I don't believe you should be
goin' anywhere with Ruth's baby.

1741
02:05:28,320 --> 02:05:31,084
<i>[Crying]</i>

1742
02:05:39,899 --> 02:05:42,629
Like I said, you ain't goin' nowhere.

1743
02:05:42,701 --> 02:05:45,261
Damn, you a thickheaded
son-of-a-bitch, ain't you?

1744
02:05:49,475 --> 02:05:51,443
<i>I told you...</i>

1745
02:05:51,510 --> 02:05:55,947
you ain't goin' nowheres with Miss Ruth's baby.

1746
02:05:56,015 --> 02:05:58,040
<i>[Crying]</i>

1747
02:06:01,587 --> 02:06:03,782
Come on, angel.
Come on.

1748
02:06:03,856 --> 02:06:07,690
Come on, sweetheart.
It's all right.

1749
02:06:07,760 --> 02:06:10,251
Come on.
It's all right, baby.

1750
02:06:13,165 --> 02:06:15,895
<i>[Idgie]
It was self-defense.</i>

1751
02:06:15,968 --> 02:06:20,803
I don't know why any white
jury would care why I did it.

1752
02:06:20,873 --> 02:06:23,671
Well, I saw it, and I can
testify. Excuse me here.

1753
02:06:23,742 --> 02:06:25,903
I don't mean no offense here,

1754
02:06:25,978 --> 02:06:29,038
but I don't know who's less
likely to convince a jury,

1755
02:06:29,114 --> 02:06:31,378
my mama...
or Mr. Smokey.

1756
02:06:31,450 --> 02:06:34,248
No offense taken.

1757
02:06:34,320 --> 02:06:36,720
You're a good man,
Mr. Smokey.

1758
02:06:36,789 --> 02:06:40,816
You did good.
The sun's almost up.

1759
02:06:44,363 --> 02:06:47,730
George?
Mm-hmm?

1760
02:06:47,800 --> 02:06:50,564
I think...

1761
02:06:50,636 --> 02:06:54,163
it's hog-boiling time.

1762
02:06:54,239 --> 02:06:56,503
No, ma'am. It
ain't cold enough.

1763
02:06:56,575 --> 02:06:59,339
It's hog-boiling time.

1764
02:07:02,281 --> 02:07:04,215
<i>Big George?</i>

1765
02:07:04,283 --> 02:07:07,377
Uh-huh? When is that
barbecue gonna be ready?

1766
02:07:07,453 --> 02:07:09,785
It's gonna be ready any time now.

1767
02:07:09,855 --> 02:07:14,758
Smells so damn good I just
can't wait to get me some.

1768
02:07:14,827 --> 02:07:19,127
Now, don't you forget to call
me when that's ready. All right.

1769
02:07:32,878 --> 02:07:35,142
Here you go.

1770
02:07:36,715 --> 02:07:40,344
Miss Idgie? Smokey left town. Yeah?

1771
02:07:40,419 --> 02:07:44,412
I thought it'd be best under the circumstances.

1772
02:07:44,490 --> 02:07:48,449
He asked that
you tell Ruth good-bye.

1773
02:07:48,527 --> 02:07:50,995
Shame he had to go.

1774
02:07:57,970 --> 02:08:02,873
<i>[Knocking]
Hold on! I'm comin'.</i>

1775
02:08:07,746 --> 02:08:10,510
What you want?
We want some barbecue.

1776
02:08:10,582 --> 02:08:14,279
Not today you don't.
Go on.

1777
02:08:27,332 --> 02:08:30,460
Why, this is about the best barbecue I ever ate!

1778
02:08:31,970 --> 02:08:35,462
The secret's in the sauce.

1779
02:08:44,249 --> 02:08:48,117
Sipsey?
My God!

1780
02:08:48,187 --> 02:08:52,521
That fryin' pan did more
than fry chicken that night.

1781
02:08:54,293 --> 02:08:58,753
Did Idgie really barbecue Frank
Bennett? Are you pullin' my leg?

1782
02:08:58,831 --> 02:09:02,528
Secret's in the sauce, or so I've been told.

1783
02:09:06,038 --> 02:09:09,872
Now you know why Idgie had to go on trial.

1784
02:09:09,942 --> 02:09:13,571
She knew the law would never
believe Sipsey. No!

1785
02:09:13,645 --> 02:09:16,136
Sipsey or Big George or anyone else of color...

1786
02:09:16,215 --> 02:09:19,673
would've been hangin' from the nearest tree.

1787
02:09:19,752 --> 02:09:22,016
To this day, I'm still not sure...

1788
02:09:22,087 --> 02:09:24,647
whether Ruth ever believed...

1789
02:09:24,723 --> 02:09:28,853
that Idgie didn't kill Frank Bennett.

1790
02:09:28,927 --> 02:09:33,159
Truth's a funny thing sometimes.

1791
02:09:33,232 --> 02:09:37,191
I feel better now.
Good.

1792
02:09:37,269 --> 02:09:40,568
I feel better 'cause all these people'll live...

1793
02:09:40,639 --> 02:09:43,699
as long as you remember 'em.

1794
02:09:43,776 --> 02:09:45,710
You reminded me...

1795
02:09:45,778 --> 02:09:49,179
about what the most important thing in life is.

1796
02:09:49,248 --> 02:09:51,580
Do you know what I
think it is? No, ma'am.

1797
02:09:51,650 --> 02:09:54,915
Friends.
Best friends.

1798
02:09:54,987 --> 02:09:58,013

02:10:06,198 --> 02:10:08,029
Oh!

1801
02:10:27,252 --> 02:10:29,186
Idgie?

1802
02:10:32,658 --> 02:10:36,526
<i>Idgie's alive?
Oh, yes!</i>

1803
02:10:36,595 --> 02:10:40,861
She's still out and about
charmin' bees and selling honey.

1804
02:10:40,933 --> 02:10:44,892
Sometimes I think I catch a glimpse of her.

1805
02:10:50,809 --> 02:10:53,243
Maybe we'll see her today.

1806
02:10:53,312 --> 02:10:55,940
Maybe.

<i>It was never more than just

<i>But now that I look back on it,</i>

1812
02:11:27,846 --> 02:11:30,110
<i>when that cafe closed...</i>

1813
02:11:30,182 --> 02:11:34,278
<i>the heart of the town
Just stopped beating.</i>

1814
02:11:34,353 --> 02:11:37,186
<i>It's funny how
a little place like this...</i>
