    00:02:24,724 --> 00:02:27,262


    We want Pollitt. Brick Pollitt.
    2
    00:02:27,393 --> 00:02:28,508
    We want Pollitt.
    3
    00:02:28,686 --> 00:02:30,145
    Brick Pollitt.
    4
    00:04:04,449 --> 00:04:05,563
    Don't you do that!
    5
    00:04:06,117 --> 00:04:07,991
    I'm warning you, Trixie.
    6
    00:04:08,202 --> 00:04:08,867
    Gooper!
    7
    00:04:09,078 --> 00:04:12,412
    Can't you stop your child
    from putting her hands in the ice cream?
    8
    00:04:16,836 --> 00:04:19,623
    Couldn't you at least wash your hands
    before you did that?
    9
    00:04:31,392 --> 00:04:32,174
    Maggie!
    10
    00:04:32,393 --> 00:04:34,302
    You stop that!
    11
    00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,976
    How could you do that to a child?
    12
    00:04:37,523 --> 00:04:39,849
    Like this, honey.
    13
    00:04:48,451 --> 00:04:50,693
    Did you see what she did?
    14
    00:04:50,912 --> 00:04:54,032
    I told her to wash her hands first.
    15
    00:05:09,305 --> 00:05:12,970

    One of those no-neck monsters


    hit me with some ice cream.
    16
    00:05:13,601 --> 00:05:16,436
    Why do you call Gooper's kiddies
    "no-neck monsters"?
    17
    00:05:16,604 --> 00:05:19,605
    Because your brother's children
    have got no necks.
    18
    00:05:20,692 --> 00:05:25,768
    Their fat little heads sit on their fat bodies
    without a bit of connection.
    19
    00:05:25,947 --> 00:05:27,358
    That's too bad.
    20
    00:05:27,573 --> 00:05:31,357
    Especially 'cause, if they have no necks
    you can't wring them. Right, honey?
    21
    00:05:35,623 --> 00:05:36,537
    Here we are!
    22
    00:05:36,749 --> 00:05:38,125
    Come on, Buster, Sonny.
    23
    00:05:38,292 --> 00:05:40,700
    Go get in the car. We're all going to go.
    24
    00:05:42,922 --> 00:05:45,923
    Did you ever hear so many dog's names
    tagged on to children?
    25
    00:05:46,134 --> 00:05:49,633
    They've got five monsters
    and number six coming up.
    26
    00:05:49,846 --> 00:05:53,678
    They've brought the whole bunch here
    like animals to display at a county fair.
    27
    00:05:53,891 --> 00:05:56,217
    It's so obvious, it's disgusting.
    28
    00:05:56,436 --> 00:05:58,144

    It's obvious what they're up to.


    29
    00:05:58,688 --> 00:06:01,013
    What are they up to, Maggie?
    30
    00:06:02,984 --> 00:06:05,557
    I'll tell you what they're up to, boy of mine.
    31
    00:06:05,778 --> 00:06:09,028
    They're up to cutting you out
    of your father's estate.
    32
    00:06:09,991 --> 00:06:12,149
    Everybody knows Big Daddy's...
    33
    00:06:12,368 --> 00:06:14,076
    ...dying of...
    34
    00:06:15,079 --> 00:06:18,579
    I ought to send Sister Woman a bill
    for a new pair of stockings.
    35
    00:06:19,250 --> 00:06:20,281
    Do we?
    36
    00:06:20,543 --> 00:06:21,706
    Do we what?
    37
    00:06:22,837 --> 00:06:25,838
    Know that Big Daddy is dying of...
    38
    00:06:26,591 --> 00:06:28,251
    Don't you believe it?
    39
    00:06:28,676 --> 00:06:30,503
    You'll know soon enough.
    40
    00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:32,511
    Suppose he is?
    41
    00:06:32,722 --> 00:06:34,596
    There's some things you've got to face.
    42
    00:06:34,682 --> 00:06:37,968
    There's some things in this world
    you've simply got to face.

    43
    00:06:38,394 --> 00:06:41,431
    Why was Big Daddy in that horrible clinic
    for six weeks...
    44
    00:06:41,522 --> 00:06:43,848
    ...if the examination didn't show anything?
    45
    00:06:43,941 --> 00:06:48,105
    Why did Brother Man bring his whole tribe
    down here in this sticky heat?
    46
    00:06:48,696 --> 00:06:51,448
    And why so many allusions
    to you and Rainbow Hill?
    47
    00:06:52,325 --> 00:06:53,949
    You know what Rainbow Hill is?
    48
    00:06:54,077 --> 00:06:57,825
    It's a place that's famous for treating
    famous alcoholics and dope fiends.
    49
    00:06:57,914 --> 00:06:59,242
    I'm not famous.
    50
    00:06:59,457 --> 00:07:00,204
    No...
    51
    00:07:00,458 --> 00:07:02,118
    ...and you don't take dope.
    52
    00:07:02,335 --> 00:07:05,004
    Otherwise you'd be a perfect candidate
    for Rainbow Hill.
    53
    00:07:05,213 --> 00:07:08,463
    That's where Brother Man's
    going to tell Big Daddy to ship you.
    54
    00:07:09,050 --> 00:07:11,007
    Over my dead body!
    55
    00:07:11,552 --> 00:07:13,462
    Rainbow Hill.
    56

    00:07:16,516 --> 00:07:19,552


    With you out of the way,
    Gooper gets hold of the estate...
    57
    00:07:19,769 --> 00:07:23,185
    ...signs the checks, and cuts off our credit
    whenever he wants.
    58
    00:07:23,398 --> 00:07:25,474
    How'd you like that, baby?
    59
    00:07:25,858 --> 00:07:27,566
    You're doing just about everything...
    60
    00:07:27,735 --> 00:07:31,484
    ...to aid and abet them
    in grabbing control, after Big Daddy...
    61
    00:07:38,079 --> 00:07:39,490
    Well, you are.
    62
    00:07:39,997 --> 00:07:42,833
    Quitting work,
    devoting yourself to drinking!
    63
    00:07:43,042 --> 00:07:46,127
    Breaking your ankle last night
    on the high school field.
    64
    00:07:47,422 --> 00:07:48,620
    Brick?
    65
    00:07:49,882 --> 00:07:52,208
    We've got one thing on our side.
    66
    00:07:52,719 --> 00:07:53,917
    No, two things.
    67
    00:07:54,137 --> 00:07:55,761
    Are my seams straight?
    68
    00:07:56,848 --> 00:07:58,721
    Big Daddy dotes on you, honey.
    69
    00:07:58,933 --> 00:08:01,887
    He just can't stand Brother Man
    and his wife...

    70
    00:08:02,103 --> 00:08:04,345
    ...that fertility monster.
    She's odious to him.
    71
    00:08:04,647 --> 00:08:05,596
    I can tell.
    72
    00:08:05,815 --> 00:08:08,187
    Just like I can tell he likes me.
    73
    00:08:08,401 --> 00:08:11,236
    That's the second thing
    we've got on our side.
    74
    00:08:16,617 --> 00:08:18,527
    He likes me.
    75
    00:08:19,579 --> 00:08:23,411
    The way he looks me up and down,
    and over...
    76
    00:08:24,459 --> 00:08:26,451
    He's still got an eye for girls.
    77
    00:08:26,669 --> 00:08:28,745
    That kind of talk is disgusting.
    78
    00:08:30,340 --> 00:08:33,839
    Anybody ever tell you
    you were a back-aching Puritan?
    79
    00:08:34,218 --> 00:08:37,587
    I think it's mighty fine how that old fellow,
    on death's doorstep...
    80
    00:08:37,680 --> 00:08:41,215
    ...takes in my shape with what
    I consider deserved appreciation.
    81
    00:08:42,769 --> 00:08:47,477
    Gooper still cherishes the illusion
    he took a giant step up the social ladder...
    82
    00:08:47,690 --> 00:08:51,106
    ...when he married Mae Flynn
    of the no-neck Memphis Flynns...

    83
    00:08:51,319 --> 00:08:53,988
    ...because she was queen
    of the Cotton Carnival.
    84
    00:08:54,197 --> 00:08:57,067
    I can just see Gooper
    falling for Her Majesty...
    85
    00:08:57,283 --> 00:09:01,411
    ...sitting on that brass throne,
    riding that tacky float down Main Street...
    86
    00:09:01,621 --> 00:09:06,532
    ...smiling and bowing, and blowing kisses
    to all the trash on the street.
    87
    00:09:07,669 --> 00:09:09,708
    You know what happened to her?
    88
    00:09:10,171 --> 00:09:11,665
    No, what happened to her?
    89
    00:09:12,548 --> 00:09:15,585
    Somebody spat tobacco juice in her face.
    90
    00:09:15,802 --> 00:09:19,384
    Some drunk at the Hotel Gayoso
    leaned out the window and said:
    91
    00:09:19,597 --> 00:09:22,432
    "Hey, Queenie! "
    92
    00:09:22,642 --> 00:09:26,058
    Sister Mae looked up and smiled
    and waved...
    93
    00:09:26,270 --> 00:09:29,521
    ...and that drunk shot a squirt
    of tobacco juice...
    94
    00:09:29,691 --> 00:09:31,730
    ...right in her face.
    95
    00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:45,954
    Why are you looking at me like that?

    96
    00:09:47,041 --> 00:09:48,998
    Like what?
    97
    00:09:49,502 --> 00:09:51,376
    Like you were just looking.
    98
    00:09:53,715 --> 00:09:55,873
    I wasn't conscious of looking at you.
    99
    00:10:00,179 --> 00:10:01,377
    I was conscious of it.
    100
    00:10:11,941 --> 00:10:14,646
    - Lf you were thinking the same thing...
    - No, Maggie!
    101
    00:10:14,861 --> 00:10:17,399
    - Why not?
    - Will you please keep your voice down?
    102
    00:10:17,572 --> 00:10:18,947
    No!
    103
    00:10:20,241 --> 00:10:22,234
    I know you better than you think.
    104
    00:10:22,452 --> 00:10:24,325
    I've seen that look before...
    105
    00:10:24,537 --> 00:10:26,364
    ...and I know what it used to mean.
    106
    00:10:26,581 --> 00:10:31,124
    - And it still means the same thing now.
    - You're not the same woman now, Maggie.
    107
    00:10:31,544 --> 00:10:33,833
    Don't you think I know that?
    108
    00:10:34,172 --> 00:10:36,710
    - Don't you think I know...
    - Know what, Maggie?
    109
    00:10:37,133 --> 00:10:40,300
    That I've gone through
    this horrible transformation.

    110
    00:10:40,511 --> 00:10:42,753
    I've become hard and frantic and cruel.
    111
    00:10:42,930 --> 00:10:45,468
    Are you planning on meeting
    Big Daddy's plane?
    112
    00:10:53,691 --> 00:10:55,648
    I get so lonely.
    113
    00:10:56,110 --> 00:10:58,067
    Everybody gets that.
    114
    00:11:00,114 --> 00:11:02,736
    Living with somebody you love can be...
    115
    00:11:02,950 --> 00:11:05,786
    ...lonelier than living entirely alone...
    116
    00:11:06,788 --> 00:11:09,113
    ...when the one you love doesn't love you.
    117
    00:11:20,426 --> 00:11:23,463
    You can't even stand
    drinking out of the same glass, can you?
    118
    00:11:23,638 --> 00:11:24,966
    Would you like to live alone?
    119
    00:11:25,264 --> 00:11:26,213
    No!
    120
    00:11:32,313 --> 00:11:34,222
    No, I wouldn't.
    121
    00:11:37,652 --> 00:11:40,190
    Why can't you lose your good looks, Brick?
    122
    00:11:40,405 --> 00:11:42,481
    Most drinking men lose theirs.
    123
    00:11:42,657 --> 00:11:44,281
    Why can't you?
    124

    00:11:45,159 --> 00:11:49,109


    I think you've even got better looking
    since you went on the bottle.
    125
    00:11:52,291 --> 00:11:54,201
    You were such a wonderful lover.
    126
    00:11:54,419 --> 00:11:56,127
    You'll be late!
    127
    00:11:56,838 --> 00:11:59,079
    You were so exciting to be in love with.
    128
    00:11:59,298 --> 00:12:01,457
    Mostly, I guess, because you were...
    129
    00:12:07,181 --> 00:12:08,973
    If I thought you'd...
    130
    00:12:09,267 --> 00:12:12,137
    ...never make love to me again...
    131
    00:12:15,273 --> 00:12:20,065
    ...I'd find the longest, sharpest knife
    and stick it straight into my heart.
    132
    00:12:20,820 --> 00:12:22,647
    I'd do that.
    133
    00:12:27,368 --> 00:12:30,702
    How long does this have to go on,
    this punishment?
    134
    00:12:30,872 --> 00:12:33,707
    Haven't I served my term?
    Can I get a pardon?
    135
    00:12:33,875 --> 00:12:38,869
    Your finishing-school voice sounds like
    you were running upstairs to say, "Fire! "
    136
    00:12:40,757 --> 00:12:42,417
    Is it any wonder?
    137
    00:12:43,301 --> 00:12:45,340
    You know what I feel like?

    138
    00:12:45,553 --> 00:12:48,222
    I feel all the time like a cat
    on a hot tin roof.
    139
    00:12:48,389 --> 00:12:50,049
    Then jump off the roof, Maggie.
    140
    00:12:50,266 --> 00:12:53,884
    Cats jump off roofs and land uninjured.
    Do it. Jump.
    141
    00:12:54,103 --> 00:12:55,052
    Jump where?
    142
    00:12:55,271 --> 00:12:56,682
    Into what?
    143
    00:12:56,898 --> 00:12:58,522
    Take a lover.
    144
    00:13:00,818 --> 00:13:02,858
    I don't deserve that!
    145
    00:13:09,243 --> 00:13:11,913
    I can't see any man but you.
    146
    00:13:13,414 --> 00:13:16,830
    Even with my eyes closed, I just see you.
    147
    00:13:21,756 --> 00:13:24,081
    Why can't you get ugly, Brick?
    148
    00:13:24,258 --> 00:13:28,303
    Why can't you get fat or ugly or something,
    so I can stand it?
    149
    00:13:29,555 --> 00:13:33,007
    You'll make out fine.
    Your kind always does.
    150
    00:13:33,226 --> 00:13:35,265
    I'm more determined than you think.
    151
    00:13:35,478 --> 00:13:37,352
    I'll win all right.

    152
    00:13:37,563 --> 00:13:38,939
    Win what?
    153
    00:13:40,066 --> 00:13:43,766
    What is the victory
    of a cat on a hot tin roof?
    154
    00:13:48,074 --> 00:13:50,612
    Just staying on it, I guess...
    155
    00:13:50,785 --> 00:13:52,778
    ...as long as she can.
    156
    00:14:04,841 --> 00:14:07,795
    Calm down. Not yet. Now wait a minute.
    157
    00:14:08,052 --> 00:14:09,297
    Where are the flowers?
    158
    00:14:09,470 --> 00:14:11,961
    Aren't you putting it on a little thick?
    159
    00:14:30,616 --> 00:14:32,075
    Get ready, now!
    160
    00:14:32,368 --> 00:14:34,942
    Mama, she didn't bring anything
    for Big Daddy.
    161
    00:14:35,329 --> 00:14:38,698
    Pretty seedy looking flowers
    for Big Daddy, huh, Gooper?
    162
    00:14:38,916 --> 00:14:40,197
    I picked them myself.
    163
    00:14:40,418 --> 00:14:42,327
    Looks like she picked them off a grave.
    164
    00:14:42,503 --> 00:14:46,833
    Don't talk about graves when we don't
    know if Big Daddy's going to live or die.
    165
    00:14:51,929 --> 00:14:52,676
    Get ready.

    166
    00:14:58,686 --> 00:15:00,145
    Hello, Mae.
    167
    00:15:00,355 --> 00:15:01,932
    Hello, children.
    168
    00:15:16,079 --> 00:15:18,118
    Doc, isn't it great?
    169
    00:15:23,544 --> 00:15:24,125
    Kiss me!
    170
    00:15:25,588 --> 00:15:27,415
    Kiss your grandmother.
    171
    00:15:28,007 --> 00:15:29,549
    Darling Big Daddy!
    172
    00:15:29,717 --> 00:15:32,173
    You look fine, Big Daddy.
    173
    00:15:32,887 --> 00:15:35,010
    Doc, do you want to tell them the news?
    174
    00:15:35,390 --> 00:15:39,008
    The exploratory operation proved
    there's nothing wrong with Big Daddy.
    175
    00:15:39,227 --> 00:15:40,389
    Nothing at all!
    176
    00:15:40,937 --> 00:15:43,428
    Just a spastic colon. And that's all.
    177
    00:15:43,648 --> 00:15:45,687
    - Great news!
    - Isn't that great news?
    178
    00:15:46,442 --> 00:15:48,565
    That's the best birthday present of all.
    179
    00:15:49,070 --> 00:15:50,149
    Where's Brick?
    180
    00:15:50,363 --> 00:15:52,569

    Uncle Brick got drunk and broke his leg.


    181
    00:15:52,782 --> 00:15:54,193
    - How?
    - What's that?
    182
    00:15:54,409 --> 00:15:57,409
    Got drunk again and tried to jump
    the high hurdles at 3:00 AM.
    183
    00:15:57,620 --> 00:15:59,909
    That poor boy still thinks he's an athlete.
    184
    00:16:00,123 --> 00:16:02,080
    Couldn't keep it out of the local paper.
    185
    00:16:02,166 --> 00:16:03,577
    AP got hold of it too.
    186
    00:16:03,751 --> 00:16:05,376
    Yeah, and UP...
    187
    00:16:05,586 --> 00:16:09,418
    ...and thanks to your professional
    legal advice, every other P.
    188
    00:16:09,882 --> 00:16:11,163
    Let's go home.
    189
    00:16:11,384 --> 00:16:13,542
    Don't you want to ride with the children?
    190
    00:16:13,761 --> 00:16:15,090
    No!
    191
    00:16:16,431 --> 00:16:19,266
    He's his sassy old self again, all right!
    192
    00:16:19,475 --> 00:16:21,219
    Be quiet, woman!
    193
    00:16:29,527 --> 00:16:31,021
    Hush up!
    194
    00:16:41,664 --> 00:16:43,075
    Welcome home, Cap'n Pollitt.

    195
    00:16:51,924 --> 00:16:54,878
    I'm going to live, Maggie. I'm going to live.
    196
    00:16:55,428 --> 00:16:58,133
    They had me real scared.
    197
    00:16:58,556 --> 00:17:00,134
    I've wasted so much time.
    198
    00:17:00,350 --> 00:17:03,386
    I've got a million different kinds
    of feelings left in me.
    199
    00:17:03,603 --> 00:17:07,351
    And I'm going to use them.
    I'm going to use them all.
    200
    00:17:46,896 --> 00:17:50,395
    Why did you and Brick
    suddenly drive up from New Orleans?
    201
    00:17:50,608 --> 00:17:52,517
    For your birthday, what else?
    202
    00:17:52,735 --> 00:17:55,985
    I had one last year and the year before.
    Didn't see you then.
    203
    00:17:56,197 --> 00:17:58,355
    You know how Brick is sometimes.
    204
    00:17:58,533 --> 00:18:01,368
    Maybe he thought he was coming
    to my funeral instead.
    205
    00:18:01,577 --> 00:18:04,662
    Brick loves you! He does!
    206
    00:18:06,582 --> 00:18:08,374
    But does he love you?
    207
    00:18:09,585 --> 00:18:12,337
    What do you want? Proof?
    208
    00:18:13,214 --> 00:18:14,957

    If I was married to you three years...


    209
    00:18:15,174 --> 00:18:17,250
    ...you'd have the living proof.
    210
    00:18:17,468 --> 00:18:19,924
    You'd have three kids
    and a fourth in the oven.
    211
    00:18:22,724 --> 00:18:25,641
    Get me out of this. I want to talk to Brick.
    212
    00:18:32,608 --> 00:18:35,360
    He wants some more ice, Miss Margaret.
    213
    00:18:39,490 --> 00:18:40,486
    "We love you when we're with you
    214
    00:18:40,700 --> 00:18:42,527
    "And we love you out of sight
    215
    00:18:46,372 --> 00:18:49,373
    "Big Mama, too"
    216
    00:19:03,264 --> 00:19:04,842
    I've got news, honey!
    217
    00:19:05,058 --> 00:19:06,516
    Big news.
    218
    00:19:06,768 --> 00:19:08,891
    Big Daddy's going to live.
    219
    00:19:11,272 --> 00:19:13,810
    That's right, he's a well man.
    220
    00:19:14,025 --> 00:19:17,690
    That's what Big Mama said and Dr. Baugh
    was right there with them.
    221
    00:19:17,987 --> 00:19:20,525
    You should've seen Mae and Gooper's face.
    222
    00:19:21,074 --> 00:19:23,612
    They almost dropped dead
    from shock themselves.

    223
    00:19:23,785 --> 00:19:24,733
    He's all right?
    224
    00:19:24,869 --> 00:19:26,612
    Feeling like 40...
    225
    00:19:26,788 --> 00:19:28,033
    ...and talking like 20.
    226
    00:19:28,122 --> 00:19:30,198
    And we can drive back
    to New Orleans tonight.
    227
    00:19:30,291 --> 00:19:33,458
    - I'm taking no chances on moving you.
    - I won't break.
    228
    00:19:33,711 --> 00:19:37,329
    Or letting them poison
    Big Daddy's mind against you.
    229
    00:19:38,007 --> 00:19:42,135
    I just want you to get dressed
    and come to Big Daddy's birthday party.
    230
    00:19:42,428 --> 00:19:45,762
    First thing Big Daddy asked about was you.
    231
    00:19:45,973 --> 00:19:48,643
    Big Daddy! Now what makes him so big?
    232
    00:19:49,310 --> 00:19:51,718
    His big heart, his big belly...
    233
    00:19:51,938 --> 00:19:53,218
    ...or his big money?
    234
    00:19:54,565 --> 00:19:56,807
    The heat has made you cross.
    235
    00:19:56,984 --> 00:19:58,609
    Give me my crutch.
    236
    00:20:01,239 --> 00:20:03,646
    Why don't you put on

    your silk pyjamas, honey...


    237
    00:20:03,866 --> 00:20:05,859
    ...and come on down to the party?
    238
    00:20:06,077 --> 00:20:08,366
    There's a lovely cool breeze.
    239
    00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:10,989
    Give me my crutch, Maggie.
    240
    00:20:12,208 --> 00:20:14,414
    Lean on me, baby.
    241
    00:20:21,175 --> 00:20:23,927
    You've got a nice smell about you.
    242
    00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,349
    - Was your bathwater cool?
    - No.
    243
    00:20:30,101 --> 00:20:33,434
    I know something
    that would make you cool and fresh.
    244
    00:20:34,355 --> 00:20:36,015
    Alcohol rub.
    245
    00:20:36,691 --> 00:20:38,019
    Cologne.
    246
    00:20:38,860 --> 00:20:40,402
    No thanks. We'd smell alike.
    247
    00:20:40,486 --> 00:20:43,060
    Like a couple of cats in the heat.
    248
    00:20:53,291 --> 00:20:55,034
    It's cool on the lawn.
    249
    00:20:55,251 --> 00:20:59,498
    I am not going down there.
    Not for you and not for Big Daddy!
    250
    00:21:02,383 --> 00:21:04,340
    At least give him this present...

    251
    00:21:04,552 --> 00:21:08,087
    ...that I remembered to buy for you,
    for his birthday.
    252
    00:21:08,723 --> 00:21:10,632
    Just write a few words on this card.
    253
    00:21:10,850 --> 00:21:12,392
    You write something.
    254
    00:21:12,602 --> 00:21:16,185
    It's got to be your handwriting.
    It's your present.
    255
    00:21:16,397 --> 00:21:17,808
    I didn't get him a present.
    256
    00:21:18,024 --> 00:21:19,304
    What's the difference?
    257
    00:21:19,525 --> 00:21:21,684
    If there's no difference, you write the card!
    258
    00:21:21,778 --> 00:21:24,732
    - And have him know you didn't remember?
    - I didn't remember!
    259
    00:21:24,906 --> 00:21:26,945
    You don't have to prove it to him!
    260
    00:21:27,158 --> 00:21:29,316
    Just write, "Love, Brick"...
    261
    00:21:29,535 --> 00:21:30,733
    ...for heaven's sake!
    262
    00:21:30,912 --> 00:21:33,913
    - You've got to.
    - I don't have to do anything!
    263
    00:21:34,123 --> 00:21:37,373
    You forget the conditions I agreed on
    to stay living with you!
    264
    00:21:37,460 --> 00:21:41,588

    I'm not living with you.


    We occupy the same cage, that's all!
    265
    00:21:49,931 --> 00:21:54,427
    That's the first time you've raised
    your voice in a long time.
    266
    00:21:57,230 --> 00:21:58,724
    A crack in the stone wall?
    267
    00:22:04,821 --> 00:22:07,608
    I think that's a fine sign. Mighty fine.
    268
    00:22:13,329 --> 00:22:14,574
    What did you do that for?
    269
    00:22:18,626 --> 00:22:21,295
    To give us a little privacy for a while.
    270
    00:22:22,422 --> 00:22:24,331
    Don't make a fool of yourself.
    271
    00:22:28,386 --> 00:22:31,138
    I don't mind making a fool
    of myself over you.
    272
    00:22:31,305 --> 00:22:33,879
    I mind. I feel embarrassed for you.
    273
    00:22:34,308 --> 00:22:35,719
    Feel embarrassed!
    274
    00:22:36,644 --> 00:22:37,807
    I can't live on this way.
    275
    00:22:37,979 --> 00:22:42,059
    - You agreed to accept that condition!
    - I know I did, but I can't!
    276
    00:22:44,360 --> 00:22:45,558
    Let go.
    277
    00:22:51,993 --> 00:22:53,784
    Let go, Maggie!
    278
    00:23:11,721 --> 00:23:13,001

    Son!
    279
    00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:18,517
    We've got the most wonderful news
    about Big Daddy!
    280
    00:23:18,895 --> 00:23:20,519
    What's this door doing locked?
    281
    00:23:20,688 --> 00:23:23,013
    You think there's robbers in the house?
    282
    00:23:24,192 --> 00:23:26,149
    Brick's getting dressed, Big Mama.
    283
    00:23:26,361 --> 00:23:27,689
    He's still getting dressed.
    284
    00:23:27,904 --> 00:23:30,940
    It won't be the first time
    I've seen Brick not dressed.
    285
    00:23:31,157 --> 00:23:32,485
    Open this door.
    286
    00:23:43,044 --> 00:23:44,040
    Brick, honey!
    287
    00:23:44,212 --> 00:23:46,003
    Sweetheart, how does your leg feel?
    288
    00:23:46,214 --> 00:23:49,380
    Come out of there. I want to give you
    the news about Big Daddy.
    289
    00:23:49,550 --> 00:23:51,673
    I told him already.
    290
    00:23:51,886 --> 00:23:53,879
    I just hate locked doors in the house.
    291
    00:23:54,097 --> 00:23:57,679
    I know you do
    but people need privacy, don't they?
    292
    00:23:57,892 --> 00:24:00,050

    No, ma'am, not in my house.


    293
    00:24:00,228 --> 00:24:03,644
    What did you take this off for?
    It looked so sweet on you.
    294
    00:24:03,856 --> 00:24:06,312
    Not sweet enough
    for Big Daddy's birthday party.
    295
    00:24:07,860 --> 00:24:08,892
    Out!
    296
    00:24:10,405 --> 00:24:11,567
    Out, you little monster!
    297
    00:24:19,205 --> 00:24:22,574
    Mae and Gooper are so touchy
    about their children.
    298
    00:24:22,750 --> 00:24:26,700
    You hardly even dare suggest
    there's any room for improvement.
    299
    00:24:26,921 --> 00:24:28,463
    Brick, hurry on out!
    300
    00:24:28,673 --> 00:24:31,590
    Shoot, Maggie, you just don't like children.
    301
    00:24:31,801 --> 00:24:34,374
    Why that's not true. I adore them.
    302
    00:24:34,595 --> 00:24:35,758
    Well brought up.
    303
    00:24:35,930 --> 00:24:38,338
    Why not have some, then,
    and bring them up well?
    304
    00:24:38,433 --> 00:24:41,387
    - Instead of picking on theirs?
    - Big Mama!
    305
    00:24:41,602 --> 00:24:44,603
    Hugh and Betsy have got to go.
    They're waiting to say goodbye.

    306
    00:24:44,689 --> 00:24:47,476
    I'll be right down.
    Tell them to hold their horses.
    307
    00:24:49,110 --> 00:24:50,023
    Where's Brick?
    308
    00:24:59,829 --> 00:25:02,616
    What you said about having children...
    309
    00:25:02,790 --> 00:25:04,866
    It's still kind of a secret, but...
    310
    00:25:06,502 --> 00:25:09,456
    Shoot, Maggie! Stop playing so dumb.
    311
    00:25:09,756 --> 00:25:11,832
    Is he still drinking this stuff much?
    312
    00:25:13,509 --> 00:25:16,463
    - He may have had a little highball.
    - Don't laugh about it.
    313
    00:25:16,679 --> 00:25:19,716
    Some men stop drinking when they marry.
    Others start.
    314
    00:25:19,932 --> 00:25:21,972
    - He never drank before...
    - That's not fair!
    315
    00:25:22,060 --> 00:25:24,633
    Fair or not, I want to ask you a question.
    316
    00:25:25,271 --> 00:25:26,730
    Do you make Brick happy?
    317
    00:25:27,899 --> 00:25:29,274
    Well?
    318
    00:25:31,861 --> 00:25:34,399
    - Why don't you ask if he makes me happy?
    - I know...
    319
    00:25:34,489 --> 00:25:35,520

    It works both ways.


    320
    00:25:35,615 --> 00:25:40,028
    Something ain't right.
    You're childless and my son drinks.
    321
    00:25:40,244 --> 00:25:43,032
    - We're leaving, Big Mama.
    - I'm coming!
    322
    00:25:43,289 --> 00:25:45,412
    When a marriage goes on the rocks...
    323
    00:25:45,625 --> 00:25:48,330
    ...the rocks are there, right there!
    324
    00:25:48,544 --> 00:25:49,873
    Goodbye, Ida.
    325
    00:25:50,088 --> 00:25:51,712
    I'm coming.
    326
    00:25:57,887 --> 00:25:59,963
    That's not fair.
    327
    00:26:00,348 --> 00:26:02,257
    All right, I'm coming.
    328
    00:26:07,021 --> 00:26:08,765
    Is Brick here?
    329
    00:26:09,482 --> 00:26:11,854
    I thought I'd check his ankle.
    330
    00:26:12,443 --> 00:26:13,854
    Is it giving him much pain?
    331
    00:26:14,070 --> 00:26:17,521
    You know how Brick is, Doc.
    He hardly ever complains.
    332
    00:26:17,699 --> 00:26:21,447
    Even when he had
    that awful back injury in football.
    333
    00:26:23,413 --> 00:26:25,904

    Brick's birthday present for Big Daddy.


    334
    00:26:26,958 --> 00:26:29,663
    I think they're fixing
    to sit down at the table.
    335
    00:26:34,298 --> 00:26:37,418
    You forgot to write out the card, honey.
    336
    00:26:40,555 --> 00:26:41,634
    Thanks, Doc.
    337
    00:26:49,022 --> 00:26:50,397
    Can I get you something cool?
    338
    00:26:51,190 --> 00:26:52,222
    No, thanks.
    339
    00:26:52,650 --> 00:26:54,442
    How's the ankle?
    340
    00:26:57,238 --> 00:26:58,898
    Itches some.
    341
    00:26:59,741 --> 00:27:03,359
    Funny, that's the same leg
    you tore a muscle in the...
    342
    00:27:03,786 --> 00:27:05,067
    'Bama State.
    343
    00:27:05,288 --> 00:27:06,782
    Twenty-one to...
    344
    00:27:06,998 --> 00:27:07,697
    Nothing.
    345
    00:27:07,915 --> 00:27:10,157
    You miss football, don't you?
    346
    00:27:10,376 --> 00:27:12,250
    Hurt much when you put weight on it?
    347
    00:27:12,420 --> 00:27:13,451
    Some.

    348
    00:27:13,671 --> 00:27:17,289
    Yeah, you were quite a team,
    you and Skipper.
    349
    00:27:19,761 --> 00:27:21,421
    What is it, Doc?
    350
    00:27:21,846 --> 00:27:25,215
    You didn't leave that party
    to come up and discuss my health.
    351
    00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:26,346
    That's right.
    352
    00:27:26,434 --> 00:27:29,007
    - I've already heard the good news...
    - It's bad news.
    353
    00:27:29,937 --> 00:27:31,977
    It's what we expected.
    354
    00:27:32,357 --> 00:27:34,563
    It's malignant and it's terminal.
    355
    00:27:34,776 --> 00:27:36,733
    He hasn't a chance.
    356
    00:27:36,944 --> 00:27:40,029
    - But Maggie said, and Big Mama...
    - Lies.
    357
    00:27:40,615 --> 00:27:41,895
    I lied to them.
    358
    00:27:42,867 --> 00:27:45,156
    I lied to him, too.
    359
    00:27:46,496 --> 00:27:47,491
    Professional ethics.
    360
    00:27:49,290 --> 00:27:49,824
    Gooper?
    361
    00:27:50,041 --> 00:27:52,662
    I told him the truth
    coming in from the airfield.

    362
    00:27:53,294 --> 00:27:54,492
    He's going to die.
    363
    00:27:56,381 --> 00:27:57,923
    He's going to die.
    364
    00:28:06,808 --> 00:28:09,974
    "Jesus wants me for a sunbeam"
    365
    00:28:12,730 --> 00:28:15,138
    What kind of truth is that?
    366
    00:28:34,502 --> 00:28:37,538
    "Jesus wants me for a sunbeam
    367
    00:28:37,755 --> 00:28:40,293
    "To shine for him each day
    368
    00:28:41,718 --> 00:28:44,837
    "In every way try to please him
    369
    00:28:45,054 --> 00:28:47,676
    "At home, at school, at play
    370
    00:28:48,516 --> 00:28:50,010
    "A sunbeam
    371
    00:28:52,270 --> 00:28:55,187
    "Jesus wants me for a sunbeam
    372
    00:28:55,690 --> 00:28:58,395
    "A sunbeam, a sunbeam
    373
    00:28:58,860 --> 00:29:01,695
    "I'll be a sunbeam for him"
    374
    00:29:01,988 --> 00:29:03,363
    Amen!
    375
    00:29:03,906 --> 00:29:06,824
    - Did you like the singing, Big Daddy?
    - Pass the black-eyed peas.
    376
    00:29:07,535 --> 00:29:11,034

    Look at Big Daddy eat!


    Ain't it something to thank your stars for?
    377
    00:29:11,205 --> 00:29:13,115
    They've been practicing just for you.
    378
    00:29:13,207 --> 00:29:14,452
    Tell them to sit and eat.
    379
    00:29:14,542 --> 00:29:16,499
    - Children, come on.
    - Over there!
    380
    00:29:16,711 --> 00:29:18,703
    Yeah. Over there.
    381
    00:29:19,589 --> 00:29:21,249
    Look here. Telegrams!
    382
    00:29:21,466 --> 00:29:24,135
    Hundreds of them from every corner
    of this great state...
    383
    00:29:24,218 --> 00:29:25,547
    Wishing you happy birthday.
    384
    00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:27,344
    Do you want me to read them?
    385
    00:29:27,555 --> 00:29:29,631
    One from the governor and the senator...
    386
    00:29:29,724 --> 00:29:32,891
    It must be getting on to election time,
    hey, Deacon?
    387
    00:29:33,061 --> 00:29:35,765
    Let's remember,
    we're all lambs in the same pasture.
    388
    00:29:35,980 --> 00:29:39,894
    Everybody, including Big Daddy,
    owes thanks to those in high places who...
    389
    00:29:40,109 --> 00:29:41,224
    Gave us nothing!

    390
    00:29:41,402 --> 00:29:45,447
    Every scrap on this table was raised
    right here on this place, Deacon.
    391
    00:29:45,656 --> 00:29:50,034
    I made a pastureland out of this place
    when it was nothing but a swamp.
    392
    00:29:50,244 --> 00:29:53,448
    And it was done with the help of God,
    and not any governor.
    393
    00:29:53,748 --> 00:29:54,448
    Amen.
    394
    00:29:54,665 --> 00:29:56,539
    "Boom, boom and it makes me crazy"
    395
    00:29:56,751 --> 00:29:58,245
    Great balls of fire!
    396
    00:29:58,461 --> 00:29:59,659
    Surprise!
    397
    00:29:59,879 --> 00:30:02,915
    - What are they up to now?
    - It's part of the entertainment.
    398
    00:30:03,091 --> 00:30:05,000
    Don't they get any intermission?
    399
    00:30:05,218 --> 00:30:06,760
    That's funny!
    400
    00:30:07,261 --> 00:30:08,672
    That's very funny!
    401
    00:30:08,888 --> 00:30:11,130
    He don't mean it, Sister Woman.
    402
    00:30:11,349 --> 00:30:13,922
    - He loves children!
    - Of course he does!
    403
    00:30:14,102 --> 00:30:16,094
    Will you put some honey on this?

    404
    00:30:16,312 --> 00:30:19,432
    They're all Pollitts,
    I'm proud to say, every one of them.
    405
    00:30:19,649 --> 00:30:22,354
    I know Big Daddy's
    just as proud as we are...
    406
    00:30:22,568 --> 00:30:24,775
    ...that there's a flesh-and-blood dynasty...
    407
    00:30:24,946 --> 00:30:27,188
    ...waiting to take over.
    408
    00:30:27,407 --> 00:30:29,483
    That's no way to talk.
    409
    00:30:29,701 --> 00:30:30,531
    What way?
    410
    00:30:30,743 --> 00:30:34,788
    "Take over." When we all know...
    411
    00:30:34,997 --> 00:30:37,453
    ...Big Daddy's going to live
    to be at least 100.
    412
    00:30:37,542 --> 00:30:39,166
    I'll drink to that!
    413
    00:30:39,544 --> 00:30:41,702
    Anytime, anyplace, anywhere!
    414
    00:30:41,921 --> 00:30:43,629
    To Big Daddy!
    415
    00:30:45,174 --> 00:30:47,796
    In the name of every person
    in this county...
    416
    00:30:47,885 --> 00:30:51,420
    ...in the name of the church
    and school board, the board of trustees...
    417
    00:30:51,514 --> 00:30:54,717

    ...felicitations on your 65th birthday.


    418
    00:30:55,977 --> 00:30:58,219
    Brick, honey,
    I brought you something to eat.
    419
    00:30:58,438 --> 00:30:59,980
    I'm not hungry.
    420
    00:31:03,484 --> 00:31:05,524
    What's that supposed to mean?
    421
    00:31:05,737 --> 00:31:06,650
    We're leaving.
    422
    00:31:06,863 --> 00:31:08,654
    - We can't.
    - I can.
    423
    00:31:08,865 --> 00:31:12,530
    - The party's coming up here to you.
    - I'll get one of the boys to drive me.
    424
    00:31:12,744 --> 00:31:16,528
    You just can't walk out
    on Big Daddy's birthday party!
    425
    00:31:16,748 --> 00:31:18,456
    Don't you care nothing about him?
    426
    00:31:18,541 --> 00:31:20,000
    Get out of my way.
    427
    00:31:21,169 --> 00:31:23,541
    Get out of my way, Maggie!
    428
    00:31:26,132 --> 00:31:28,006
    You've got no cause to dislike him.
    429
    00:31:30,345 --> 00:31:31,720
    Do I dislike him?
    430
    00:31:31,929 --> 00:31:35,974
    It's obvious to everybody.
    Especially to him.
    431

    00:31:40,146 --> 00:31:41,771


    What's he ever done to you?
    432
    00:31:41,981 --> 00:31:43,012
    What?
    433
    00:31:43,232 --> 00:31:45,474
    Why do you hate him so much?
    434
    00:31:45,860 --> 00:31:47,271
    What's he ever done to you?
    435
    00:31:51,199 --> 00:31:51,945
    Nothing.
    436
    00:31:53,534 --> 00:31:56,072
    What was Dr. Baugh doing up here?
    437
    00:31:57,497 --> 00:31:59,205
    What did he...
    438
    00:32:03,878 --> 00:32:06,167
    That's right. Big Daddy is going to die.
    439
    00:32:09,425 --> 00:32:11,714
    I don't believe that.
    440
    00:32:12,178 --> 00:32:15,132
    Dr. Baugh wouldn't lie to Big Daddy.
    441
    00:32:15,348 --> 00:32:16,676
    Wouldn't he, Maggie?
    442
    00:32:21,521 --> 00:32:23,560
    Poor Big Daddy.
    443
    00:32:24,732 --> 00:32:26,641
    I'm fond of him.
    444
    00:32:26,859 --> 00:32:29,564
    I'm genuinely fond of that old man.
    445
    00:32:29,862 --> 00:32:31,820
    I really am, you know.
    446

    00:32:33,324 --> 00:32:35,447


    When he finds out...
    447
    00:32:36,452 --> 00:32:38,908
    I wouldn't want to be the one to tell him.
    448
    00:32:41,290 --> 00:32:42,833
    That's why you want to go now.
    449
    00:32:44,460 --> 00:32:47,034
    Yeah, that's why I want to leave now.
    450
    00:32:49,757 --> 00:32:51,964
    You've got to do this for me, Maggie.
    451
    00:32:52,176 --> 00:32:54,584
    And leave the field to Gooper and his wife?
    452
    00:32:54,762 --> 00:32:55,758
    No, sir!
    453
    00:32:55,972 --> 00:32:57,549
    Let's face facts, baby.
    454
    00:32:57,765 --> 00:32:59,509
    You're a drinker. That takes money.
    455
    00:32:59,726 --> 00:33:01,054
    I don't want his money!
    456
    00:33:01,269 --> 00:33:03,261
    Are you ready to settle for ten-cent beer?
    457
    00:33:03,354 --> 00:33:06,521
    That's what Gooper'll dole out to you
    when they freeze you out.
    458
    00:33:06,733 --> 00:33:08,974
    They've got a plan, baby.
    459
    00:33:09,193 --> 00:33:13,690
    You should've heard them
    laying it on to Big Daddy. A mile a minute!
    460
    00:33:13,906 --> 00:33:16,444
    Big Mama's already on their side.

    461
    00:33:16,951 --> 00:33:20,071
    You're a drinker and I'm childless.
    462
    00:33:20,788 --> 00:33:24,371
    We've got to beat that plan,
    we've just got to!
    463
    00:33:27,420 --> 00:33:28,962
    I've been so...
    464
    00:33:29,130 --> 00:33:32,297
    ...disgustingly poor all my life.
    465
    00:33:32,925 --> 00:33:35,214
    That's the truth, Brick.
    466
    00:33:36,346 --> 00:33:38,303
    Have you, Maggie?
    467
    00:33:40,433 --> 00:33:42,307
    You don't know what it's like to have to...
    468
    00:33:42,435 --> 00:33:45,804
    ...suck up to people you can't stand,
    just because they have money.
    469
    00:33:46,898 --> 00:33:49,056
    You don't know what it's like...
    470
    00:33:49,275 --> 00:33:51,398
    ...never having any clothes.
    471
    00:33:52,403 --> 00:33:54,562
    That dress I married you in...
    472
    00:33:54,781 --> 00:33:58,861
    ...was a hand-me-down
    from a snotty, rich cousin I hated.
    473
    00:34:00,995 --> 00:34:03,320
    You can be young without money.
    474
    00:34:04,499 --> 00:34:06,824
    But you can't be old without it.

    475
    00:34:09,379 --> 00:34:11,537
    Where did I fail you?
    476
    00:34:12,131 --> 00:34:14,457
    Where did I make my mistake?
    477
    00:34:16,010 --> 00:34:18,335
    Make that your last drink
    until after the party...
    478
    00:34:18,429 --> 00:34:19,923
    ...please, honey.
    479
    00:34:26,854 --> 00:34:30,021
    I think I made my mistake
    when I tried to tell you about Skipper.
    480
    00:34:30,358 --> 00:34:32,232
    That's my fatal error.
    481
    00:34:32,443 --> 00:34:34,650
    - I never should...
    - Shut up about Skipper!
    482
    00:34:34,862 --> 00:34:36,736
    I mean it! Shut up!
    483
    00:34:36,948 --> 00:34:39,617
    The laws of silence won't work about that!
    484
    00:34:39,826 --> 00:34:41,735
    Not about Skipper and us.
    485
    00:34:41,953 --> 00:34:45,820
    It's like locking the door on a fire
    to forget the house is burning.
    486
    00:34:45,915 --> 00:34:47,540
    Hey, everybody!
    487
    00:34:47,875 --> 00:34:51,825
    But not looking at a fire doesn't put it out.
    488
    00:34:52,088 --> 00:34:56,916
    This time I'm going to finish.
    That night in the hotel room, Skipper...

    489
    00:34:57,010 --> 00:34:58,587
    I don't want to hear about it!
    490
    00:34:58,845 --> 00:35:01,549
    Why won't you face the truth, just once...
    491
    00:35:01,723 --> 00:35:04,889
    ...about Skipper, about me, about yourself?
    492
    00:35:06,144 --> 00:35:08,220
    Are you bringing that party up here or not?
    493
    00:35:08,396 --> 00:35:09,855
    Kit and caboodle, son.
    494
    00:35:10,064 --> 00:35:12,935
    That won't do any good.
    I'm going to say this...
    495
    00:35:13,151 --> 00:35:16,068
    ...and I don't care if it's in front of them.
    496
    00:35:17,822 --> 00:35:19,779
    Do you want to be hit with this crutch?
    497
    00:35:19,866 --> 00:35:21,942
    Are you still blaming me
    for Skipper's death?
    498
    00:35:22,035 --> 00:35:23,695
    I could kill you with this crutch.
    499
    00:35:23,911 --> 00:35:26,153
    Good Lord! Do you think I'd care?
    500
    00:35:26,372 --> 00:35:29,326
    Skipper and I had a friendship.
    Why won't you let it alone?
    501
    00:35:29,417 --> 00:35:31,742
    - It's got to be told!
    - I don't want to hear it!
    502
    00:35:31,961 --> 00:35:35,330
    It's got to be told

    and you never let me tell it. I love you...


    503
    00:35:35,548 --> 00:35:38,300
    ...and that's worth fighting for.
    Not Skipper!
    504
    00:35:38,509 --> 00:35:40,087
    Skipper was no good!
    505
    00:35:40,303 --> 00:35:41,714
    Maybe I'm no good.
    506
    00:35:41,929 --> 00:35:43,128
    Nobody's good.
    507
    00:35:43,348 --> 00:35:45,720
    But Skipper is dead!
    508
    00:35:46,100 --> 00:35:47,927
    And I'm alive!
    509
    00:35:48,102 --> 00:35:50,059
    Maggie the cat is alive!
    510
    00:35:50,271 --> 00:35:51,646
    I'm alive!
    511
    00:35:51,856 --> 00:35:53,849
    Why are you afraid of the truth?
    512
    00:35:54,067 --> 00:35:55,098
    Truth?
    513
    00:36:02,867 --> 00:36:06,699
    Little girl, somebody ought to teach you...
    514
    00:36:06,913 --> 00:36:09,700
    ...to knock before you open a door.
    515
    00:36:09,916 --> 00:36:14,459
    Otherwise, people might think
    you're lacking in good breeding.
    516
    00:36:18,091 --> 00:36:21,092
    What's Uncle Brick doing on the floor?

    517
    00:36:22,220 --> 00:36:24,462
    I tried to kill your Aunt Maggie...
    518
    00:36:27,809 --> 00:36:29,137
    ...but I failed...
    519
    00:36:29,894 --> 00:36:33,892
    ...and I fell. Little girl,
    would you hand me my crutch, please?
    520
    00:36:39,112 --> 00:36:42,066
    What were you jumping high hurdles for?
    521
    00:36:42,532 --> 00:36:46,399
    Because I used to, and people like to do
    what they used to do...
    522
    00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:49,824
    ...after they've stopped being able to do it.
    523
    00:36:49,997 --> 00:36:53,413
    That's right. And that's your answer.
    524
    00:36:53,710 --> 00:36:54,872
    Now go away.
    525
    00:36:56,295 --> 00:36:59,546
    Stop that, you little no-neck monster!
    526
    00:36:59,757 --> 00:37:04,170
    You're just jealous
    because you can't have babies.
    527
    00:37:13,354 --> 00:37:14,599
    You see?
    528
    00:37:16,149 --> 00:37:20,098
    Mae and Gooper gloat over us
    being childless...
    529
    00:37:21,446 --> 00:37:24,897
    ...even in front of their little
    no-neck monsters.
    530
    00:37:30,538 --> 00:37:33,159
    I went to a doctor in Memphis.

    531
    00:37:33,541 --> 00:37:35,699
    A gynaecologist.
    532
    00:37:36,878 --> 00:37:40,578
    He says there's no reason
    why we can't have a child...
    533
    00:37:40,798 --> 00:37:42,791
    ...whenever we want.
    534
    00:37:49,891 --> 00:37:53,390
    - Are you listening?
    - Yes, Maggie, I hear you.
    535
    00:37:54,854 --> 00:37:58,223
    But how in hell do you imagine
    you're going to have a child...
    536
    00:37:58,399 --> 00:38:01,021
    ...by a man who cannot stand you?
    537
    00:38:09,118 --> 00:38:11,241
    That, boy of mine...
    538
    00:38:12,538 --> 00:38:15,990
    ...is a problem I'll just have to work out.
    539
    00:38:16,209 --> 00:38:18,700
    Here comes that party, here we come!
    540
    00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:21,837
    Here comes that birthday party!
    541
    00:38:22,131 --> 00:38:23,756
    That's nice.
    542
    00:38:25,677 --> 00:38:30,054
    The preacher almost cried when I told him
    I got a stained-glass memorial window.
    543
    00:38:30,264 --> 00:38:32,138
    Who gave you that window, Deacon?
    544
    00:38:32,266 --> 00:38:35,184
    Clyde Fletcher's widow,

    a generous woman of fine character.


    545
    00:38:35,395 --> 00:38:38,146
    What someone should give our church
    is a cooling system.
    546
    00:38:38,231 --> 00:38:39,689
    Yes, sir. Exactly my thought.
    547
    00:38:39,774 --> 00:38:43,309
    Let's see, they've had the typhoid shots
    and the tetanus shots...
    548
    00:38:43,528 --> 00:38:48,154
    ...diphtheria shots, hepatitis shots,
    polio shots.
    549
    00:38:50,201 --> 00:38:52,822
    Gooper, what have all the kiddies
    been shot for?
    550
    00:38:53,037 --> 00:38:55,196
    Everything but stealing chickens.
    551
    00:39:02,839 --> 00:39:03,870
    Well, Brick?
    552
    00:39:04,590 --> 00:39:06,879
    Congratulations, Big Daddy,
    on your birthday.
    553
    00:39:07,093 --> 00:39:09,880
    - Bull!
    - Guess what memorial Gus's family gave?
    554
    00:39:10,096 --> 00:39:13,714
    - A new house and basketball court...
    - Deacon!
    555
    00:39:14,642 --> 00:39:17,892
    What's all this talk about
    memorial stained-glass windows?
    556
    00:39:18,104 --> 00:39:20,975
    Figuring on somebody kicking off
    around here?
    557

    00:39:21,232 --> 00:39:24,981


    How about some nice music
    to start the party off with?
    558
    00:39:28,698 --> 00:39:30,940
    Turn that damn thing off!
    559
    00:39:32,994 --> 00:39:35,117
    Where's my Brick?
    560
    00:39:35,204 --> 00:39:37,956
    - Where's my precious baby?
    - Sorry, turn it back on.
    561
    00:39:38,291 --> 00:39:39,915
    How does your leg feel, honey?
    562
    00:39:40,001 --> 00:39:43,619
    Your hand was made for holding
    something better! Put that liquor down.
    563
    00:39:43,838 --> 00:39:46,459
    - He is putting it down, all right!
    - Turn that off!
    564
    00:39:47,008 --> 00:39:50,009
    How about a birthday kiss, honey?
    565
    00:39:54,766 --> 00:39:59,641
    Hey, everybody, you know the first time
    Big Daddy kissed me, I fainted.
    566
    00:39:59,854 --> 00:40:01,811
    It's a fact. Ain't that so, honey?
    567
    00:40:02,523 --> 00:40:06,603
    Do you all know how he proposed to me?
    I was four months swole with Gooper...
    568
    00:40:06,819 --> 00:40:09,986
    ...and Big Daddy said,
    "That's my kid, ain't it?"
    569
    00:40:10,198 --> 00:40:12,523
    It was kind of funny.
    I'd never had a beau...
    570

    00:40:12,700 --> 00:40:15,452


    ...till I met your father.
    He said, "I want that kid.
    571
    00:40:15,661 --> 00:40:16,942
    "I need him.
    572
    00:40:17,163 --> 00:40:21,540
    "He ain't going to have nobody else's name
    but mine. Let's get the preacher.
    573
    00:40:21,709 --> 00:40:24,247
    "That's what marriage is for. Family."
    574
    00:40:25,380 --> 00:40:28,215
    Children were mighty important
    to Big Daddy, even then.
    575
    00:40:28,383 --> 00:40:30,256
    Ida, will you stop that yammering?
    576
    00:40:30,843 --> 00:40:33,880
    That's just his manner of talking.
    He don't mean it.
    577
    00:40:34,097 --> 00:40:36,848
    I've been his one and only lover,
    haven't I, sweetheart?
    578
    00:40:37,308 --> 00:40:39,217
    Ida, will you keep quiet?
    579
    00:40:40,186 --> 00:40:41,846
    Children, come on!
    580
    00:40:46,526 --> 00:40:49,645
    Here comes Big Daddy's birthday!
    581
    00:40:53,032 --> 00:40:55,570
    "Big Daddy's a jolly good fellow
    582
    00:40:55,785 --> 00:40:58,193
    "Big Daddy's a jolly good fellow
    583
    00:40:59,455 --> 00:41:02,029
    "And so is Big Mama, too

    584
    00:41:08,464 --> 00:41:11,916
    "Big Daddy's a jolly good fellow
    585
    00:41:13,052 --> 00:41:16,421
    "And so is Big Mama, too"
    586
    00:41:18,516 --> 00:41:21,802
    - Ida, what the hell's the matter with you?
    - She's just so happy.
    587
    00:41:22,937 --> 00:41:27,350
    I'm so happy.
    I've just got to cry or something.
    588
    00:41:28,276 --> 00:41:30,268
    Big Daddy's 100 percent...
    589
    00:41:30,486 --> 00:41:31,601
    ...healthy!
    590
    00:41:33,573 --> 00:41:36,278
    Aren't you going to give Big Daddy
    his birthday present?
    591
    00:41:44,751 --> 00:41:48,499
    - You can open up your birthday present.
    - You open it. I want to talk to Brick.
    592
    00:41:48,713 --> 00:41:50,255
    Brick, come over here.
    593
    00:41:50,798 --> 00:41:53,040
    Big Daddy's calling you.
    594
    00:41:53,259 --> 00:41:55,964
    Big Mama, take them out for me.
    595
    00:41:56,179 --> 00:41:59,963
    - It's a cashmere robe!
    - You sound surprised.
    596
    00:42:00,183 --> 00:42:04,512
    - I've never seen a cashmere robe before.
    - That's funny!
    597
    00:42:05,271 --> 00:42:06,849

    What's so funny about it?


    598
    00:42:07,482 --> 00:42:09,640
    All my family ever had was family.
    599
    00:42:10,693 --> 00:42:11,808
    Quiet!
    600
    00:42:12,028 --> 00:42:15,278
    - You bought it yourself last Saturday.
    - I said quiet!
    601
    00:42:15,490 --> 00:42:19,737
    The salesgirl that sold it to you
    waited on me and she told me about it.
    602
    00:42:19,952 --> 00:42:21,744
    - Sister Woman!
    - Quiet!
    603
    00:42:21,954 --> 00:42:24,410
    - Stork and the Grim Reaper, neck and neck.
    - Deacon!
    604
    00:42:24,499 --> 00:42:25,578
    Deacon!
    605
    00:42:26,584 --> 00:42:31,127
    I'm not butting in on more talk about
    memorial stained-glass windows, am I?
    606
    00:42:31,631 --> 00:42:33,173
    Not at all.
    607
    00:42:34,175 --> 00:42:36,962
    What do you get out
    of this charity work, anyway?
    608
    00:42:37,887 --> 00:42:39,963
    I love humanity. That's my reward.
    609
    00:42:40,181 --> 00:42:43,135
    And if humanity returns your love,
    you might get elected...
    610
    00:42:43,226 --> 00:42:45,265
    ...councilman or mayor, hey, Deacon?

    611
    00:42:45,478 --> 00:42:47,221
    Don't start picking on Deacon.
    612
    00:42:47,438 --> 00:42:49,810
    - That's all right. I was...
    - Good night, Deacon.
    613
    00:42:49,899 --> 00:42:53,944
    That's exactly what I was about to say.
    I better go before it starts raining.
    614
    00:42:54,153 --> 00:42:57,772
    Good night, everybody.
    Bless each and every one in this place.
    615
    00:42:59,033 --> 00:43:02,367
    They tell me you were indulging in
    some athletics last night.
    616
    00:43:02,578 --> 00:43:05,745
    - I was trying to, yes, sir.
    - At 3:00 in the morning?
    617
    00:43:06,207 --> 00:43:10,121
    What were you doing on the high school
    athletic field at 3:00 in the morning?
    618
    00:43:10,211 --> 00:43:15,206
    I was running and jumping the hurdles.
    They've got too high for me now.
    619
    00:43:15,883 --> 00:43:17,128
    Because you were drunk!
    620
    00:43:17,260 --> 00:43:20,344
    Sober, I would not have tried
    to jump even the low ones.
    621
    00:43:20,722 --> 00:43:22,963
    It's time to blow out the candles!
    622
    00:43:23,391 --> 00:43:25,929
    A toast to Big Daddy Pollitt...
    623
    00:43:26,144 --> 00:43:28,979
    ...on his 65th birthday.

    624
    00:43:29,188 --> 00:43:33,186
    - To the biggest cotton planter...
    - I told you, quit this bull!
    625
    00:43:33,276 --> 00:43:36,230
    I won't let you talk this way,
    not even on your birthday.
    626
    00:43:36,320 --> 00:43:39,820
    I'll talk like I want to on my birthday,
    or any other rotten day.
    627
    00:43:39,907 --> 00:43:42,825
    Anybody don't like it,
    they know what they can do about it.
    628
    00:43:42,910 --> 00:43:46,030
    - I know you don't mean that.
    - You don't know nothing, never did.
    629
    00:43:46,122 --> 00:43:49,787
    - You don't mean that.
    - Yes, I do mean it.
    630
    00:43:51,127 --> 00:43:55,207
    I've put up with a lot of bull around here
    because I thought I was dying.
    631
    00:43:55,423 --> 00:43:57,831
    That's when you started taking over.
    632
    00:43:58,051 --> 00:44:02,428
    Your loud voice and busybody butting in
    here and there and everywhere.
    633
    00:44:02,597 --> 00:44:06,464
    Sashaying around here,
    making a big noise like a boss.
    634
    00:44:06,684 --> 00:44:09,175
    I'm the only boss around here.
    635
    00:44:09,604 --> 00:44:12,605
    I built this place with no help from you.
    636
    00:44:12,774 --> 00:44:15,775

    And I'll run this place till the day I die.


    637
    00:44:15,985 --> 00:44:19,650
    Is that plain to you, Ida?
    Is that perfectly clear to you?
    638
    00:44:19,864 --> 00:44:21,062
    I ain't going to die.
    639
    00:44:21,616 --> 00:44:24,782
    Ain't nothing wrong with me
    but a spastic colon!
    640
    00:44:25,370 --> 00:44:28,370
    Made spastic, I reckon,
    by all the lies and liars...
    641
    00:44:28,581 --> 00:44:30,989
    ...I've had to put up with around here.
    642
    00:44:31,209 --> 00:44:35,835
    And all the hypocrisy I've had to live with
    these 40 years I've lived with you.
    643
    00:44:36,964 --> 00:44:38,957
    Now blow out them candles.
    644
    00:44:39,967 --> 00:44:43,052
    Go on. Blow out them candles
    on that stupid cake.
    645
    00:44:47,850 --> 00:44:52,512
    In all these years
    you never believed I loved you.
    646
    00:44:55,233 --> 00:44:56,775
    And I did.
    647
    00:44:58,319 --> 00:45:00,146
    I did so much.
    648
    00:45:01,322 --> 00:45:02,864
    I did love you.
    649
    00:45:04,325 --> 00:45:08,370
    I even loved your hate and your hardness.

    650
    00:45:14,669 --> 00:45:17,836
    - Big Daddy should make plans.
    - Lf he should die before...
    651
    00:45:18,631 --> 00:45:19,960
    Excuse me.
    652
    00:45:25,263 --> 00:45:26,543
    Son!
    653
    00:45:30,977 --> 00:45:32,519
    I was calling Brick.
    654
    00:45:33,688 --> 00:45:36,226
    I was just delivering him to you.
    655
    00:45:48,327 --> 00:45:51,079
    - What did you do that for?
    - Do what?
    656
    00:45:52,540 --> 00:45:54,034
    Wipe off her kiss?
    657
    00:45:57,503 --> 00:45:58,666
    Did I?
    658
    00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:01,086
    Your woman's got a better shape on her...
    659
    00:46:01,299 --> 00:46:02,876
    ...than Gooper's got on his.
    660
    00:46:03,426 --> 00:46:07,803
    - Is that the only difference you've noticed?
    - Difference in shape is pretty important.
    661
    00:46:08,014 --> 00:46:10,801
    - But in a way, they're a lot alike.
    - How's that?
    662
    00:46:11,017 --> 00:46:14,018
    They don't look peaceful. How's that?
    663
    00:46:14,312 --> 00:46:16,351
    They're a couple of cats...

    664
    00:46:16,606 --> 00:46:20,853
    ...sitting in the middle of 28,000 acres
    of land. That's a lot of land.
    665
    00:46:21,235 --> 00:46:25,696
    They're both squaring off, determined
    to get a bigger piece whenever you let go.
    666
    00:46:26,616 --> 00:46:29,451
    Yeah, well, I've got a surprise
    for them babies.
    667
    00:46:29,660 --> 00:46:33,112
    I ain't letting go for a long time yet,
    if they're waiting for that.
    668
    00:46:33,206 --> 00:46:37,038
    You just sit tight and let them
    scratch each other's eyes out.
    669
    00:46:37,251 --> 00:46:38,662
    You bet your life.
    670
    00:46:39,253 --> 00:46:43,037
    Gooper's wife, she's a good breeder.
    You'll have to admit she's fertile.
    671
    00:46:43,257 --> 00:46:45,748
    Five head of them already
    and more coming.
    672
    00:46:47,095 --> 00:46:50,511
    6-0. She'll probably drop a litter next time.
    673
    00:46:52,934 --> 00:46:55,685
    - Are you stuck out there?
    - I was just passing by.
    674
    00:46:55,770 --> 00:46:57,679
    You were just sneaking and spying.
    675
    00:46:57,897 --> 00:47:01,681
    Do I have to lock all the doors around here
    to have a private conversation?
    676
    00:47:01,901 --> 00:47:04,902
    - Why hurt those that really love you?

    - Bull!
    677
    00:47:05,154 --> 00:47:07,610
    I'm going to move you and Gooper
    out of that room.
    678
    00:47:07,782 --> 00:47:11,365
    It's none of your business what goes on
    in here between Brick and Maggie.
    679
    00:47:11,577 --> 00:47:14,247
    I hate sneaking and spying!
    It makes me puke!
    680
    00:47:19,377 --> 00:47:20,705
    They listen, do they?
    681
    00:47:20,962 --> 00:47:22,789
    Yeah, they listen.
    682
    00:47:23,006 --> 00:47:25,793
    They run and tell Big Mama
    everything they hear.
    683
    00:47:26,050 --> 00:47:29,751
    They say Maggie sleeps on the bed
    and you sleep on the sofa. Is that true?
    684
    00:47:30,805 --> 00:47:32,963
    If you don't like Maggie, get rid of her!
    685
    00:47:33,349 --> 00:47:35,887
    - What are you doing now?
    - Freshening up my drink.
    686
    00:47:36,102 --> 00:47:38,723
    - You know you've a real liquor problem?
    - Yes, sir.
    687
    00:47:38,813 --> 00:47:42,763
    - Is that why you quit sports announcing?
    - I guess so. Yes, sir, that's it.
    688
    00:47:42,984 --> 00:47:43,897
    Don't guess!
    689
    00:47:44,110 --> 00:47:46,067

    It's too important!


    690
    00:47:46,612 --> 00:47:48,272
    So you quit.
    691
    00:47:49,157 --> 00:47:51,944
    - Some kind of a disappointment?
    - I don't know. Do you?
    692
    00:47:52,035 --> 00:47:54,822
    I'm asking you.
    How should I know if you don't?
    693
    00:47:59,334 --> 00:48:02,868
    Do you think a shot of that whisky
    would injure my spastic condition?
    694
    00:48:05,131 --> 00:48:06,411
    No, sir.
    695
    00:48:07,633 --> 00:48:09,543
    It might do it some good.
    696
    00:48:17,018 --> 00:48:19,176
    The sky is open again, boy. It's open!
    697
    00:48:19,395 --> 00:48:21,222
    That's the way to feel.
    698
    00:48:26,527 --> 00:48:28,319
    I can breathe.
    699
    00:48:29,697 --> 00:48:32,484
    All my life I've been like a doubled-up fist...
    700
    00:48:32,700 --> 00:48:35,535
    ...pounding and smashing and driving!
    701
    00:48:36,204 --> 00:48:38,991
    But now I'm going
    to take things easy with them.
    702
    00:48:40,875 --> 00:48:42,334
    Do you know what I'm thinking?
    703
    00:48:42,418 --> 00:48:43,912

    What's that, sir?


    704
    00:48:44,212 --> 00:48:45,374
    Pleasure!
    705
    00:48:47,632 --> 00:48:51,250
    I'll tell you, I still have a feeling for women,
    and I'm 65.
    706
    00:48:51,469 --> 00:48:53,925
    - That's mighty remarkable.
    - Remarkable?
    707
    00:48:54,555 --> 00:48:55,551
    Admirable.
    708
    00:48:55,765 --> 00:49:00,142
    It's not only remarkable and admirable,
    it's downright satisfying.
    709
    00:49:00,353 --> 00:49:03,389
    - I'm going to have me a ball.
    - A ball?
    710
    00:49:03,606 --> 00:49:05,397
    I'm going to pick me a choice woman...
    711
    00:49:05,483 --> 00:49:09,350
    ...and I'm going to smother her in minks
    and choke her with diamonds.
    712
    00:49:09,570 --> 00:49:11,362
    I'm going to be happy!
    713
    00:49:13,700 --> 00:49:16,654
    Why are you so restless?
    You got ants in your britches?
    714
    00:49:16,744 --> 00:49:18,286
    - Yes, sir.
    - Why?
    715
    00:49:19,997 --> 00:49:22,571
    - Something hasn't happened yet.
    - What's that?
    716
    00:49:22,792 --> 00:49:25,283

    - A click in my head.
    - Did you say, "click"?
    717
    00:49:25,420 --> 00:49:29,334
    Yes, sir. That click in my head
    that makes me feel peaceful.
    718
    00:49:29,549 --> 00:49:31,707
    Boy, sometimes you worry me.
    719
    00:49:33,094 --> 00:49:37,839
    Like a switch clicking off in my head.
    Turns the hot light off and the cool one on.
    720
    00:49:37,932 --> 00:49:39,806
    All of a sudden, there's peace.
    721
    00:49:42,311 --> 00:49:44,518
    You're a real alcoholic!
    722
    00:49:45,940 --> 00:49:47,269
    That is the truth.
    723
    00:49:47,483 --> 00:49:51,861
    Yes, sir, I am an alcoholic.
    So, if you'll just excuse me.
    724
    00:49:52,196 --> 00:49:54,272
    - No, I won't!
    - I'm waiting for that click...
    725
    00:49:54,365 --> 00:49:58,280
    ...and I don't get it unless I'm alone!
    I'm not talking. When it's quiet!
    726
    00:49:58,369 --> 00:50:02,996
    You'll hear plenty of that in the grave.
    Right now we're going to talk.
    727
    00:50:03,207 --> 00:50:06,659
    This talk is like all the others.
    It gets nowhere and it's painful!
    728
    00:50:07,670 --> 00:50:12,166
    - Let it be painful.
    - I can crawl and hop if I have to.
    729

    00:50:13,134 --> 00:50:18,425


    If you aren't careful, you'll crawl out
    this family and be drinking on skid row.
    730
    00:50:18,514 --> 00:50:20,174
    Yeah, that will come too.
    731
    00:50:20,767 --> 00:50:24,764
    No. Now that I'm straightened out,
    I'm going to straighten you out.
    732
    00:50:24,854 --> 00:50:26,265
    Sit down!
    733
    00:50:26,481 --> 00:50:30,395
    It's no use. We talk in circles.
    We have nothing to say to each other!
    734
    00:50:37,617 --> 00:50:40,108
    - Where are you going?
    - To get another bottle.
    735
    00:50:40,328 --> 00:50:42,735
    No, you're not, you drunken whelp!
    736
    00:50:44,582 --> 00:50:48,496
    - Why are you shouting? I can't stand it!
    - Get out of here!
    737
    00:50:48,711 --> 00:50:51,333
    Leave us alone! Why do you drink?
    738
    00:50:53,466 --> 00:50:55,755
    You had better know why you drink
    or give it up!
    739
    00:50:56,386 --> 00:50:57,666
    Give me my crutch.
    740
    00:50:57,887 --> 00:50:58,717
    Why do you drink?
    741
    00:50:58,805 --> 00:51:00,928
    I stepped on that foot and now I'm in pain.
    742
    00:51:01,140 --> 00:51:02,421
    Good!

    743
    00:51:09,190 --> 00:51:10,601
    At least you're not too numb...
    744
    00:51:10,692 --> 00:51:13,396
    ...with liquor to feel pain.
    745
    00:51:15,947 --> 00:51:18,023
    - Why do you drink?
    - Give me my crutch.
    746
    00:51:18,241 --> 00:51:22,025
    - Tell me first.
    - No, give me a drink first.
    747
    00:51:24,038 --> 00:51:26,992
    - First you've got to tell me!
    - All right! Disgust!
    748
    00:51:27,208 --> 00:51:30,328
    - Disgust with what?
    - You strike a hard bargain.
    749
    00:51:30,545 --> 00:51:35,171
    - Boy, do you want liquor that bad?
    - Yes, sir, I want liquor that bad.
    750
    00:51:39,262 --> 00:51:41,468
    What are you disgusted with?
    751
    00:51:42,265 --> 00:51:45,550
    Mendacity! Do you know what that is?
    It's lies and liars!
    752
    00:51:45,727 --> 00:51:48,015
    Who's been lying to you? Maggie?
    753
    00:51:48,229 --> 00:51:50,554
    No, not one lie or one person.
    The whole thing.
    754
    00:51:50,732 --> 00:51:52,605
    - You got a headache?
    - No, I'm trying...
    755
    00:51:52,817 --> 00:51:56,684
    Trying to concentrate, but you can't

    because your brain is soaked with liquor.


    756
    00:51:56,904 --> 00:51:58,019
    Wet brain!
    757
    00:51:59,282 --> 00:52:00,444
    Mendacity!
    758
    00:52:00,658 --> 00:52:04,572
    What do you know about mendacity?
    I could write a book on it.
    759
    00:52:04,787 --> 00:52:08,156
    - It's your sister calling from Memphis.
    - To hell with her!
    760
    00:52:08,750 --> 00:52:09,864
    Get out of there!
    761
    00:52:10,251 --> 00:52:13,003
    Go on. Close the door after you.
    762
    00:52:13,212 --> 00:52:14,078
    Mendacity!
    763
    00:52:14,505 --> 00:52:19,381
    Look at the lies I've got to put up with.
    Pretenses, hypocrisy!
    764
    00:52:19,594 --> 00:52:24,054
    Pretending like I care for Big Mama.
    I haven't tolerated her in 40 years.
    765
    00:52:24,682 --> 00:52:28,514
    Church! It bores me, but I go.
    766
    00:52:28,811 --> 00:52:33,272
    All those swindling lodges, social clubs,
    and money-grabbing auxiliaries...
    767
    00:52:33,441 --> 00:52:35,932
    ...that's got me on their number one
    sucker list.
    768
    00:52:36,110 --> 00:52:40,322
    Boy, I've lived with mendacity.
    Why can't you live with it?

    769
    00:52:40,531 --> 00:52:45,407
    You've got to. There's nothing to live with
    but mendacity. Is there?
    770
    00:52:46,454 --> 00:52:48,612
    Yes, sir, you can live with this.
    771
    00:52:51,626 --> 00:52:52,657
    That's not living.
    772
    00:52:54,170 --> 00:52:57,290
    - That's dodging away from life.
    - I want to dodge away from it.
    773
    00:52:57,382 --> 00:52:58,959
    Then why not kill yourself?
    774
    00:52:59,133 --> 00:53:00,462
    Because I like to drink.
    775
    00:53:00,677 --> 00:53:02,468
    I can't talk to you!
    776
    00:53:02,679 --> 00:53:03,461
    I'm sorry.
    777
    00:53:03,680 --> 00:53:06,846
    Do you expect me to turn over
    28,000 acres of the richest land...
    778
    00:53:07,058 --> 00:53:09,134
    ...this side of the Nile to a drunk fool?
    779
    00:53:09,352 --> 00:53:09,968
    No, sir.
    780
    00:53:10,144 --> 00:53:14,094
    I like you, son, but why should I subsidize
    worthless behavior?
    781
    00:53:14,315 --> 00:53:15,513
    Give it to Gooper and Mae.
    782
    00:53:15,733 --> 00:53:19,601
    I can't stand Gooper and Mae

    and those five screaming monkeys.


    783
    00:53:20,988 --> 00:53:23,740
    I don't have to turn it over to any of you!
    784
    00:53:23,950 --> 00:53:28,244
    To this day, I ain't made no will.
    Now I don't have to, the pressure's off.
    785
    00:53:28,454 --> 00:53:31,408
    I can wait and see
    if you pull yourself together or not.
    786
    00:53:31,499 --> 00:53:32,329
    That's right.
    787
    00:53:32,875 --> 00:53:35,995
    - I'm not kidding.
    - No, sir, I know you're not kidding.
    788
    00:53:36,838 --> 00:53:37,917
    You don't care?
    789
    00:53:38,131 --> 00:53:40,170
    No, sir, I don't care.
    790
    00:53:41,426 --> 00:53:43,086
    Tell Lacey to drive me to the station.
    791
    00:53:43,177 --> 00:53:45,135
    - Now wait a minute!
    - Or I'll drive myself.
    792
    00:53:45,346 --> 00:53:47,303
    I'm going home tonight. Now!
    793
    00:53:47,515 --> 00:53:50,350
    - This is your home.
    - Is it? Since when?
    794
    00:53:51,519 --> 00:53:53,512
    Let's not leave it like this.
    795
    00:53:53,771 --> 00:53:56,345
    Like all them other talks we've had.
    796

    00:53:56,566 --> 00:53:59,982


    We always seem to talk around things.
    797
    00:54:00,361 --> 00:54:04,110
    Seem to leave things unsaid and unspoken.
    798
    00:54:04,407 --> 00:54:07,942
    - Now we've got to talk straight.
    - It's too late for talk.
    799
    00:54:08,161 --> 00:54:09,275
    Why?
    800
    00:54:09,495 --> 00:54:11,369
    What are you disgusted about?
    801
    00:54:11,831 --> 00:54:14,666
    Because you can't play football anymore?
    802
    00:54:15,043 --> 00:54:18,376
    Because you lost your job?
    I'll get it back for you!
    803
    00:54:24,385 --> 00:54:28,050
    What? Sit in a glass box
    watching games that I can't play?
    804
    00:54:28,264 --> 00:54:31,715
    Describing what I can't do
    while others do it?
    805
    00:54:32,935 --> 00:54:37,681
    Filling my Coke with bourbon so I can
    stand it? You'll get that back for me?
    806
    00:54:38,107 --> 00:54:40,266
    I think you're passing the buck.
    807
    00:54:43,196 --> 00:54:44,571
    Do you know many drinking men?
    808
    00:54:44,739 --> 00:54:46,317
    I've known a good number.
    809
    00:54:46,532 --> 00:54:48,691
    Could any of them they tell you
    why they drank?

    810
    00:54:48,785 --> 00:54:50,493
    You're passing the buck?
    811
    00:54:50,703 --> 00:54:54,535
    You're passing the buck
    to things like disgust and mendacity.
    812
    00:54:54,749 --> 00:54:56,907
    If you've got to use that kind of language...
    813
    00:54:57,085 --> 00:55:00,251
    ...it's 90 proof bull and I ain't buying any!
    814
    00:55:00,421 --> 00:55:05,582
    You started drinking with your friend
    Skipper's death. Ain't that the truth?
    815
    00:55:14,686 --> 00:55:16,014
    What are you suggesting?
    816
    00:55:17,105 --> 00:55:18,100
    Nothing. But...
    817
    00:55:18,314 --> 00:55:19,595
    But what?
    818
    00:55:19,774 --> 00:55:20,805
    Say your mind.
    819
    00:55:21,192 --> 00:55:22,271
    Say it!
    820
    00:55:23,111 --> 00:55:25,317
    - Why are you so excited?
    - Go ahead, say it!
    821
    00:55:25,530 --> 00:55:26,988
    Why are you shouting like that?
    822
    00:55:27,073 --> 00:55:29,112
    Skipper and I were friends, understand?
    823
    00:55:29,283 --> 00:55:30,778
    Gooper said that Skipper was...

    824
    00:55:30,868 --> 00:55:33,822
    Skipper is the only thing
    that I've got left to believe in!
    825
    00:55:33,913 --> 00:55:35,573
    And you drag it through the gutter!
    826
    00:55:35,665 --> 00:55:38,286
    - Just a minute!
    - You make it shameful and filthy!
    827
    00:55:48,261 --> 00:55:49,541
    Give me your hand.
    828
    00:55:52,265 --> 00:55:55,681
    I don't want your hand.
    To hell with all lies and liars!
    829
    00:55:56,310 --> 00:55:58,980
    Didn't you ever look up to anybody?
    830
    00:55:59,147 --> 00:56:00,938
    Anybody at all in your whole life?
    831
    00:56:01,149 --> 00:56:03,984
    Didn't you ever believe in anything,
    anybody?
    832
    00:56:05,319 --> 00:56:08,190
    No, sir, I guess you didn't.
    833
    00:56:08,531 --> 00:56:11,781
    Nothing and nobody
    except Big Daddy himself.
    834
    00:56:11,993 --> 00:56:14,069
    You and Skipper played football together.
    835
    00:56:14,162 --> 00:56:16,831
    Made a few touchdowns.
    Does that make him God Almighty?
    836
    00:56:17,040 --> 00:56:18,320
    I could depend on him.
    837
    00:56:18,458 --> 00:56:21,494

    - On the football field!


    - Anytime, anywhere, anyplace!
    838
    00:56:21,711 --> 00:56:23,288
    - Are you sure of that?
    - Yes.
    839
    00:56:23,504 --> 00:56:24,915
    Bull!
    840
    00:56:25,256 --> 00:56:28,590
    Why did your big strong man fall apart?
    841
    00:56:29,177 --> 00:56:30,837
    Why did Skipper crack up?
    842
    00:56:32,472 --> 00:56:33,752
    All right.
    843
    00:56:34,932 --> 00:56:37,602
    You're asking for it,
    we're going to have that talk.
    844
    00:56:38,686 --> 00:56:41,094
    That straight, true talk.
    845
    00:56:41,356 --> 00:56:42,850
    It's too late to stop now.
    846
    00:56:43,066 --> 00:56:44,560
    Can you say it without a drink?
    847
    00:56:44,650 --> 00:56:47,320
    I haven't heard that mechanical click yet.
    848
    00:56:47,528 --> 00:56:51,692
    You need a lot of crutches, don't you?
    Clicks. Whisky.
    849
    00:56:51,908 --> 00:56:53,781
    What else do you need?
    850
    00:56:53,993 --> 00:56:54,574
    Skipper?
    851
    00:56:55,703 --> 00:56:58,704

    - He was a crutch for you too, wasn't he?


    - Yes, sir.
    852
    00:56:58,873 --> 00:57:01,494
    I could lean on him, in school and out of it.
    853
    00:57:02,293 --> 00:57:06,042
    How did Maggie take
    this great and true friendship?
    854
    00:57:08,883 --> 00:57:09,748
    Ask her.
    855
    00:57:09,967 --> 00:57:10,916
    I'm asking you.
    856
    00:57:11,135 --> 00:57:14,635
    If you want to know why Skipper
    cracked up, ask Maggie the cat.
    857
    00:57:14,847 --> 00:57:15,629
    What did she do?
    858
    00:57:16,432 --> 00:57:19,718
    Chase him out of the window
    of that Chicago hotel?
    859
    00:57:19,894 --> 00:57:23,512
    Did that little bitty girl shove
    your big hero out all by herself?
    860
    00:57:24,190 --> 00:57:25,269
    Why?
    861
    00:57:26,401 --> 00:57:28,559
    What went on
    between Skipper and Maggie?
    862
    00:57:30,029 --> 00:57:30,943
    Ask her.
    863
    00:57:36,119 --> 00:57:37,447
    Maggie, come here.
    864
    00:57:37,537 --> 00:57:40,454
    Can I be of assistance, Big Daddy?

    865
    00:57:44,043 --> 00:57:46,581
    Trixie's ready to play the piano for you!
    866
    00:57:46,796 --> 00:57:49,038
    Go ahead, play.
    867
    00:57:57,056 --> 00:58:00,093
    What was going on
    between you and Skipper?
    868
    00:58:02,103 --> 00:58:04,096
    Well, you see, Big Daddy...
    869
    00:58:06,107 --> 00:58:07,305
    Well?
    870
    00:58:08,568 --> 00:58:10,441
    Come on, Maggie!
    871
    00:58:10,653 --> 00:58:12,776
    You wanted to talk truth upstairs.
    872
    00:58:12,947 --> 00:58:14,441
    Go ahead!
    873
    00:58:14,615 --> 00:58:17,285
    Big Daddy wants to know. Tell him!
    874
    00:58:22,623 --> 00:58:24,367
    Skipper didn't like me.
    875
    00:58:24,584 --> 00:58:26,623
    Why didn't Skipper like you?
    876
    00:58:26,836 --> 00:58:29,505
    - You know he was against our marriage.
    - Why?
    877
    00:58:29,714 --> 00:58:33,462
    - Because it meant less freedom for you.
    - Freedom to do what?
    878
    00:58:33,634 --> 00:58:36,172
    Freedom to run from town to town.
    879

    00:58:36,387 --> 00:58:38,629


    Planes, trains, always running!
    880
    00:58:38,806 --> 00:58:43,100
    - Football practice, dirty stories...
    - Nobody forced you to come along with us!
    881
    00:58:43,311 --> 00:58:47,391
    I didn't expect to spend my honeymoon
    in the locker room with the boys.
    882
    00:58:47,607 --> 00:58:51,023
    Since when did a man's smell
    ever injure your sensitive feelings?
    883
    00:58:51,235 --> 00:58:52,730
    Football, baby!
    884
    00:58:52,945 --> 00:58:55,318
    The idea of football smelled.
    885
    00:58:55,490 --> 00:58:58,444
    Especially the notions
    of a professional team.
    886
    00:58:58,659 --> 00:59:00,901
    He didn't need any team of his own.
    887
    00:59:01,120 --> 00:59:04,620
    He could've gotten a spot
    on any pro team in the country.
    888
    00:59:05,666 --> 00:59:08,158
    You organized your own team
    on account of Skipper.
    889
    00:59:08,378 --> 00:59:11,877
    - You're a liar!
    - He wasn't good enough on his own.
    890
    00:59:12,090 --> 00:59:14,415
    Professional football is a business...
    891
    00:59:14,634 --> 00:59:15,665
    ...not a social club!
    892
    00:59:16,386 --> 00:59:18,425

    You mean the business of making money?


    893
    00:59:18,638 --> 00:59:21,211
    Yeah, money!
    The stuff your dreams are made of!
    894
    00:59:21,724 --> 00:59:24,511
    The Dixie Stars never made a nickel!
    895
    00:59:24,686 --> 00:59:27,093
    Not from the first day to the last.
    896
    00:59:27,313 --> 00:59:29,436
    It wasn't the money, it was the cheers.
    897
    00:59:29,649 --> 00:59:31,108
    He lapped them up.
    898
    00:59:31,317 --> 00:59:34,935
    The cheers didn't mean anything to me.
    But they did to you!
    899
    00:59:35,154 --> 00:59:37,989
    Because they shut you out
    and you hated that.
    900
    00:59:38,199 --> 00:59:40,488
    Not by the crowds, baby, by you.
    901
    00:59:40,702 --> 00:59:42,493
    By the man I worshiped.
    902
    00:59:42,704 --> 00:59:45,076
    That's why I hated Skipper.
    903
    00:59:45,832 --> 00:59:49,497
    You hated him so much you got him drunk
    and went to bed with him.
    904
    01:00:00,388 --> 01:00:02,215
    Is that true?
    905
    01:00:09,939 --> 01:00:13,807
    You don't think I ravished a football hero?
    906
    01:00:17,071 --> 01:00:18,731

    Skipper was drunk.


    907
    01:00:19,198 --> 01:00:21,191
    So are you most of the time.
    908
    01:00:21,409 --> 01:00:24,161
    I don't seem to make out so well with you.
    909
    01:00:28,332 --> 01:00:31,536
    Are you saying nothing happened
    between you and Skipper?
    910
    01:00:31,753 --> 01:00:34,326
    - You know what happened.
    - I don't know!
    911
    01:00:34,547 --> 01:00:36,374
    I wasn't there.
    912
    01:00:36,591 --> 01:00:39,461
    I couldn't play that Sunday.
    I wasn't in Chicago.
    913
    01:00:39,677 --> 01:00:41,717
    - I was in the hospital...
    - Skipper played.
    914
    01:00:41,804 --> 01:00:43,215
    He played all right!
    915
    01:00:43,431 --> 01:00:45,637
    His first professional game without Brick.
    916
    01:00:47,685 --> 01:00:49,844
    Tell Big Daddy what happened.
    917
    01:00:50,063 --> 01:00:51,557
    Go on, tell him.
    918
    01:00:51,773 --> 01:00:53,682
    You're a sports announcer.
    919
    01:00:53,900 --> 01:00:58,229
    Give us a running account
    of the all-American bust.
    920

    01:00:58,446 --> 01:01:01,363


    Tell him how many times
    Skipper fumbled...
    921
    01:01:01,574 --> 01:01:04,112
    ...and stumbled and fell apart.
    922
    01:01:04,452 --> 01:01:08,497
    On offensive he was useless.
    On defensive he was a coward.
    923
    01:01:08,706 --> 01:01:10,117
    And it was all over:
    924
    01:01:10,291 --> 01:01:13,327
    Chicago: 47, Dixie Stars: 0.
    925
    01:01:13,544 --> 01:01:15,169
    Bad breaks. An off day.
    926
    01:01:15,380 --> 01:01:16,375
    No, baby.
    927
    01:01:16,798 --> 01:01:19,633
    Without you, Skipper was nothing.
    928
    01:01:19,801 --> 01:01:21,959
    Outside: Big, tough, confident.
    929
    01:01:22,136 --> 01:01:24,046
    Inside: Pure jelly!
    930
    01:01:25,139 --> 01:01:27,595
    You saw the game on TV.
    You saw what happened.
    931
    01:01:27,809 --> 01:01:30,513
    But I didn't see what happened
    in Skipper's hotel room.
    932
    01:01:30,603 --> 01:01:32,512
    That little episode was not on TV.
    933
    01:01:32,730 --> 01:01:35,933
    Tell Big Daddy
    why you were in Skipper's room.

    934
    01:01:36,150 --> 01:01:37,526
    He was sick.
    935
    01:01:37,944 --> 01:01:39,403
    Sick with drink.
    936
    01:01:39,612 --> 01:01:40,893
    He wouldn't come out.
    937
    01:01:40,988 --> 01:01:42,364
    He'd busted some furniture...
    938
    01:01:42,448 --> 01:01:46,232
    ...and the hotel manager said to stop him
    before he called the police.
    939
    01:01:46,494 --> 01:01:48,783
    So I went to his room.
    940
    01:01:49,080 --> 01:01:51,785
    I scratched on his door
    and begged him to let me in.
    941
    01:01:51,999 --> 01:01:53,375
    He was half crazy.
    942
    01:01:53,584 --> 01:01:55,244
    Violent and screaming one minute...
    943
    01:01:55,461 --> 01:01:57,750
    ...weak and crying the next.
    944
    01:01:57,964 --> 01:02:01,463
    And all the time, scared stiff about you.
    945
    01:02:02,343 --> 01:02:06,175
    So I said to him maybe it was time
    we forgot about football.
    946
    01:02:06,681 --> 01:02:10,132
    Maybe he ought to get a job
    and let me and Brick alone.
    947
    01:02:11,310 --> 01:02:13,802
    I thought he'd hit me.

    948
    01:02:14,897 --> 01:02:16,807
    He walked toward me...
    949
    01:02:17,233 --> 01:02:21,100
    ...with a funny sort of smile on his face.
    950
    01:02:22,613 --> 01:02:25,104
    Then he did the strangest thing.
    951
    01:02:25,491 --> 01:02:27,283
    He kissed me.
    952
    01:02:27,952 --> 01:02:30,526
    That was the first time
    he'd ever touched me.
    953
    01:02:31,039 --> 01:02:33,115
    And then I knew what I was going to do.
    954
    01:02:33,332 --> 01:02:35,290
    I'd get rid of Skipper.
    955
    01:02:35,501 --> 01:02:39,250
    I'd show Brick that their deep,
    true friendship was a big lie.
    956
    01:02:39,964 --> 01:02:41,375
    I'd prove it by showing...
    957
    01:02:41,591 --> 01:02:45,174
    ...that Skipper would make love
    to his best friend's wife.
    958
    01:02:45,720 --> 01:02:47,511
    He didn't need any coaxing.
    959
    01:02:47,722 --> 01:02:49,679
    He was more than willing.
    960
    01:02:49,891 --> 01:02:52,216
    He even seemed to have the same idea.
    961
    01:02:53,269 --> 01:02:55,143
    You're just trying to whitewash it.
    962

    01:02:55,688 --> 01:02:56,554


    I'm not!
    963
    01:02:56,773 --> 01:02:58,564
    I was trying to win back my husband.
    964
    01:02:58,691 --> 01:03:01,776
    It didn't matter how.
    I would've done anything.
    965
    01:03:01,986 --> 01:03:03,979
    Even that.
    966
    01:03:05,073 --> 01:03:06,733
    But at the last second...
    967
    01:03:06,908 --> 01:03:08,651
    ...I got panicky.
    968
    01:03:09,786 --> 01:03:12,407
    Supposing I lost you instead?
    969
    01:03:13,247 --> 01:03:16,284
    Supposing you'd hate me
    instead of Skipper?
    970
    01:03:17,251 --> 01:03:19,078
    So I ran.
    971
    01:03:19,879 --> 01:03:21,207
    Nothing happened!
    972
    01:03:21,422 --> 01:03:24,340
    I've tried to tell him a hundred times
    but he won't let me.
    973
    01:03:24,967 --> 01:03:26,248
    Nothing happened!
    974
    01:03:26,469 --> 01:03:28,675
    Hallelujah, St. Maggie.
    975
    01:03:30,473 --> 01:03:32,929
    I wanted to get rid of Skipper.
    976
    01:03:33,810 --> 01:03:35,553

    But not if it meant losing you.


    977
    01:03:35,770 --> 01:03:38,095
    He blames me for Skipper's death.
    978
    01:03:39,023 --> 01:03:41,977
    Maybe I got rid of Skipper.
    979
    01:03:44,654 --> 01:03:47,192
    Skipper won out anyway.
    980
    01:03:49,534 --> 01:03:52,072
    I didn't get rid of him at all.
    981
    01:03:59,877 --> 01:04:02,451
    Isn't it an awful joke, honey?
    982
    01:04:03,339 --> 01:04:05,462
    I lost you anyway.
    983
    01:04:08,136 --> 01:04:10,757
    - You didn't talk to him again before he...
    - No.
    984
    01:04:11,764 --> 01:04:13,804
    - But Brick did.
    - How do you know?
    985
    01:04:13,975 --> 01:04:15,802
    - Skipper told me.
    - When?
    986
    01:04:16,019 --> 01:04:18,640
    When they put his broken body
    in the ambulance.
    987
    01:04:18,855 --> 01:04:20,847
    I rode with him to the hospital.
    988
    01:04:21,107 --> 01:04:25,270
    He kept saying,
    "Why did Brick hang up on me?"
    989
    01:04:26,654 --> 01:04:28,481
    Why, Brick?
    990

    01:04:44,088 --> 01:04:46,211


    - Where are you going?
    - Home.
    991
    01:04:49,177 --> 01:04:51,928
    - You can't drive. You're drunk.
    - Not yet, Big Daddy.
    992
    01:04:52,013 --> 01:04:53,922
    Not yet. Now, give me that bottle.
    993
    01:04:58,019 --> 01:04:59,810
    What are you running away from?
    994
    01:05:04,317 --> 01:05:07,520
    Why did you hang up on Skipper
    when he called you?
    995
    01:05:11,074 --> 01:05:12,354
    Answer me!
    996
    01:05:13,284 --> 01:05:16,119
    What did he say?
    Was it about him and Maggie?
    997
    01:05:16,329 --> 01:05:18,618
    - He said they'd made love.
    - And you believed him?
    998
    01:05:18,831 --> 01:05:19,911
    Yes.
    999
    01:05:20,792 --> 01:05:22,618
    Then why haven't you thrown her out?
    1000
    01:05:23,169 --> 01:05:25,956
    Something's missing here.
    Why did Skipper kill himself?
    1001
    01:05:26,714 --> 01:05:28,374
    Because somebody let him down.
    1002
    01:05:35,682 --> 01:05:37,389
    I let him down.
    1003
    01:05:39,477 --> 01:05:41,470
    When he called that night...

    1004
    01:05:44,524 --> 01:05:46,812
    ...I couldn't make sense out of...
    1005
    01:05:47,443 --> 01:05:50,065
    But there was one thing that was sure.
    1006
    01:05:52,281 --> 01:05:54,654
    Skipper was scared.
    1007
    01:05:55,159 --> 01:05:56,867
    Scared...
    1008
    01:05:58,246 --> 01:06:01,033
    ...about what happened that day
    on the football field.
    1009
    01:06:01,249 --> 01:06:02,079
    That I'd blame him.
    1010
    01:06:02,291 --> 01:06:05,495
    Scared that I'd walk out on him.
    1011
    01:06:07,130 --> 01:06:10,380
    Skipper afraid! I couldn't believe that.
    1012
    01:06:10,591 --> 01:06:14,043
    I mean, inside he was real
    deep-down scared...
    1013
    01:06:14,762 --> 01:06:17,514
    ...and he broke like a rotten stick.
    1014
    01:06:18,766 --> 01:06:21,008
    He started crying:
    1015
    01:06:22,020 --> 01:06:23,929
    "I need you."
    1016
    01:06:24,147 --> 01:06:26,602
    He kept babbling, "Help me."
    1017
    01:06:28,026 --> 01:06:29,935
    Me help him?
    1018

    01:06:31,612 --> 01:06:33,771


    How does one drowning man...
    1019
    01:06:33,990 --> 01:06:35,614
    ...help another drowning man?
    1020
    01:06:36,117 --> 01:06:38,026
    So you hung up on him.
    1021
    01:06:39,787 --> 01:06:41,827
    And then that phone...
    1022
    01:06:42,457 --> 01:06:44,449
    ...started to ring again.
    1023
    01:06:46,085 --> 01:06:49,786
    It rang and it rang
    and it wouldn't stop ringing.
    1024
    01:06:50,214 --> 01:06:55,256
    And I lay in that hospital bed,
    unable to move or run from that sound.
    1025
    01:06:55,511 --> 01:06:58,049
    It kept ringing louder and louder.
    1026
    01:06:58,473 --> 01:07:02,138
    And the sound of that
    was like Skipper screaming for help.
    1027
    01:07:06,481 --> 01:07:08,806
    And I couldn't pick it up.
    1028
    01:07:10,485 --> 01:07:13,058
    So that's when he killed himself?
    1029
    01:07:17,575 --> 01:07:18,690
    Yes.
    1030
    01:07:20,495 --> 01:07:22,618
    Because I let him down.
    1031
    01:07:27,335 --> 01:07:31,831
    So that disgust with mendacity
    is really disgust with myself.
    1032

    01:07:32,048 --> 01:07:36,377


    When I hear that click I don't hear
    the sound of that phone ringing anymore.
    1033
    01:07:36,594 --> 01:07:38,670
    And I can stop thinking.
    1034
    01:07:38,888 --> 01:07:40,513
    I'm ashamed!
    1035
    01:07:40,723 --> 01:07:44,092
    That's why I'm a drunk.
    When I'm drunk I can stand myself.
    1036
    01:07:44,560 --> 01:07:47,312
    But the truth is always there
    in the morning, isn't it?
    1037
    01:07:48,272 --> 01:07:50,099
    And it's here right now.
    1038
    01:07:51,526 --> 01:07:55,310
    You're just feeling sorry for yourself.
    That's all it is. Self-pity!
    1039
    01:07:55,530 --> 01:07:57,855
    You didn't kill Skipper. He killed himself.
    1040
    01:07:58,032 --> 01:08:01,152
    You, Skipper and lots like you,
    living in a kid's world...
    1041
    01:08:01,369 --> 01:08:05,236
    ...playing games, touchdowns,
    no worries, no responsibilities.
    1042
    01:08:05,540 --> 01:08:07,579
    Life ain't no damn football game.
    1043
    01:08:07,792 --> 01:08:09,868
    Life ain't just a bunch of high spots.
    1044
    01:08:11,295 --> 01:08:14,711
    You're a 30-year-old kid.
    Soon you'll be a 50-year-old kid...
    1045
    01:08:15,174 --> 01:08:17,665

    ...pretending you hear cheers


    when there ain't any.
    1046
    01:08:17,760 --> 01:08:20,049
    Dreaming and drinking your life away.
    1047
    01:08:20,263 --> 01:08:21,638
    Heroes in the real world...
    1048
    01:08:21,848 --> 01:08:25,347
    ...live 24 hours a day,
    not just two hours in a game.
    1049
    01:08:26,019 --> 01:08:29,352
    Mendacity! You won't...
    1050
    01:08:31,816 --> 01:08:35,399
    You won't live with mendacity,
    but you're an expert at it.
    1051
    01:08:35,570 --> 01:08:37,693
    The truth is pain and sweat...
    1052
    01:08:37,905 --> 01:08:42,152
    ...paying bills and making love to a woman
    that you don't love anymore.
    1053
    01:08:42,368 --> 01:08:44,444
    The truth is dreams that don't come true...
    1054
    01:08:44,579 --> 01:08:47,580
    ...and nobody prints your name
    in the paper till you die.
    1055
    01:08:53,588 --> 01:08:55,082
    Now, here.
    1056
    01:08:59,177 --> 01:09:01,169
    The truth is you never growed up.
    1057
    01:09:01,387 --> 01:09:03,546
    - Grown-ups don't hang up on friends.
    - Get away.
    1058
    01:09:03,639 --> 01:09:06,925
    And they don't hang up on their wives.
    They don't hang up on life.

    1059
    01:09:07,101 --> 01:09:09,771
    Now that's the truth that you can't face.
    1060
    01:09:09,979 --> 01:09:11,557
    - Can you face the truth?
    - Try me.
    1061
    01:09:11,647 --> 01:09:13,272
    Sure, somebody else's truth!
    1062
    01:09:13,358 --> 01:09:15,184
    - You're running again.
    - Yeah, I am.
    1063
    01:09:15,276 --> 01:09:17,897
    Running from lies,
    like birthday congratulations...
    1064
    01:09:17,987 --> 01:09:21,570
    ...and many happy returns of the day
    when there won't be any, and...
    1065
    01:09:33,252 --> 01:09:35,126
    Please, let me go home.
    1066
    01:09:36,464 --> 01:09:38,255
    - What did you say?
    - I don't remember.
    1067
    01:09:38,341 --> 01:09:41,591
    - There won't be any happy returns?
    - Forget it.
    1068
    01:09:41,803 --> 01:09:44,341
    Let me go home.
    Leave the place to Gooper and Mae.
    1069
    01:09:44,430 --> 01:09:47,799
    Who said I was going to leave
    the place or anything?
    1070
    01:09:48,017 --> 01:09:49,559
    I'll outlive you.
    1071
    01:09:49,769 --> 01:09:50,848
    I'll bury you.

    1072
    01:09:51,062 --> 01:09:53,101
    - I'll buy your coffin.
    - That's right.
    1073
    01:09:53,314 --> 01:09:55,307
    Many happy returns.
    1074
    01:10:01,155 --> 01:10:02,947
    They were lying...
    1075
    01:10:03,157 --> 01:10:04,533
    ...weren't they, son...
    1076
    01:10:04,909 --> 01:10:07,151
    ...about that report from the clinic?
    1077
    01:10:09,122 --> 01:10:10,664
    This pain...
    1078
    01:10:10,832 --> 01:10:12,575
    ...that keeps grabbing at me...
    1079
    01:10:13,751 --> 01:10:15,162
    It's death...
    1080
    01:10:16,337 --> 01:10:17,500
    ...ain't it?
    1081
    01:10:18,506 --> 01:10:20,000
    Answer me!
    1082
    01:10:20,299 --> 01:10:21,794
    The truth!
    1083
    01:10:22,927 --> 01:10:27,885
    You said it yourself.
    Mendacity is a system we live in.
    1084
    01:11:04,218 --> 01:11:05,167
    Brick, wait!
    1085
    01:11:28,076 --> 01:11:30,317
    Look at us, Maggie.
    1086

    01:11:30,536 --> 01:11:33,027


    The great Pollitt Enterprises...
    1087
    01:11:33,664 --> 01:11:35,622
    ...stuck in the...
    1088
    01:11:36,793 --> 01:11:38,536
    I hurt him, Maggie.
    1089
    01:11:42,256 --> 01:11:45,174
    I hurt him really bad.
    1090
    01:11:45,385 --> 01:11:47,093
    What's the matter? What's happened?
    1091
    01:11:47,303 --> 01:11:50,221
    - Why is Big Daddy...
    - We've got to talk to you.
    1092
    01:11:50,598 --> 01:11:52,223
    - Get Dr. Baugh!
    - Where is he?
    1093
    01:11:52,433 --> 01:11:54,556
    I don't know, just find him.
    1094
    01:12:03,986 --> 01:12:04,900
    Doc!
    1095
    01:12:06,614 --> 01:12:09,283
    I wouldn't go down to him right now.
    1096
    01:12:09,534 --> 01:12:10,613
    Sweetheart!
    1097
    01:12:11,953 --> 01:12:14,159
    Big Daddy, can you hear me?
    1098
    01:12:15,748 --> 01:12:17,124
    What are you doing?
    1099
    01:12:17,458 --> 01:12:19,083
    I'm coming down.
    1100
    01:12:22,296 --> 01:12:25,167
    No need to, Ida.

    We'll be coming up in a minute.


    1101
    01:12:35,852 --> 01:12:37,761
    If that pain gets too bad...
    1102
    01:12:38,813 --> 01:12:40,640
    ...this is morphine...
    1103
    01:12:40,982 --> 01:12:42,809
    ...and a syringe.
    1104
    01:12:43,401 --> 01:12:46,106
    The instructions are written out.
    1105
    01:12:47,989 --> 01:12:50,361
    It's no use pretending anymore.
    1106
    01:12:50,575 --> 01:12:53,196
    When that pain hits, it'll hit hard.
    1107
    01:12:54,287 --> 01:12:56,445
    Make it easy on yourself.
    1108
    01:12:58,916 --> 01:13:00,292
    Here.
    1109
    01:13:00,835 --> 01:13:03,670
    You'd better take off those wet clothes.
    1110
    01:13:04,505 --> 01:13:05,419
    Why?
    1111
    01:13:05,631 --> 01:13:07,957
    You afraid I might catch cold and die?
    1112
    01:13:24,776 --> 01:13:26,151
    Why can't I go down to him?
    1113
    01:13:26,235 --> 01:13:27,778
    Well, he's...
    1114
    01:13:30,156 --> 01:13:32,777
    His stomach's upset, Ida.
    1115
    01:13:34,702 --> 01:13:36,576

    All he needs is a peppermint.


    1116
    01:13:38,247 --> 01:13:40,039
    It's time we had that talk, Doc.
    1117
    01:13:40,208 --> 01:13:43,125
    - It'll be painful.
    - Painful things can't always be avoided.
    1118
    01:13:43,336 --> 01:13:45,494
    So I've noticed. But there are times...
    1119
    01:13:45,713 --> 01:13:47,670
    It's time we all had our talk.
    1120
    01:13:47,882 --> 01:13:50,171
    What talk are you talking about?
    1121
    01:13:51,010 --> 01:13:54,177
    - What were they fighting about?
    - We didn't discuss it.
    1122
    01:13:54,263 --> 01:13:56,386
    What's he doing in the cellar all alone?
    1123
    01:13:56,557 --> 01:13:58,016
    Why can't Big Mama see him?
    1124
    01:13:58,226 --> 01:13:59,388
    You heard why.
    1125
    01:13:59,602 --> 01:14:02,888
    He's got the stomach upset.
    It's made him irritable.
    1126
    01:14:03,189 --> 01:14:06,807
    When couples have been together
    as long as me and Big Daddy...
    1127
    01:14:07,026 --> 01:14:10,775
    ...they get irritable with each other
    from too much devotion.
    1128
    01:14:11,948 --> 01:14:13,572
    Isn't that so?
    1129

    01:14:14,867 --> 01:14:16,907


    Of course that's so.
    1130
    01:14:17,745 --> 01:14:19,489
    He loves his family.
    1131
    01:14:19,747 --> 01:14:22,369
    He loves them around,
    but it strains his nerves.
    1132
    01:14:22,583 --> 01:14:25,335
    He wasn't himself.
    I could tell he was all worked-up.
    1133
    01:14:25,420 --> 01:14:28,089
    It's the party and the excitement.
    1134
    01:14:28,297 --> 01:14:30,871
    He's probably just a little worn out,
    that's all.
    1135
    01:14:31,092 --> 01:14:32,467
    Did you notice how he ate?
    1136
    01:14:32,552 --> 01:14:34,840
    He ate like a P-I-G hog.
    1137
    01:14:35,430 --> 01:14:37,422
    I hope he doesn't regret it.
    1138
    01:14:37,807 --> 01:14:38,922
    Who?
    1139
    01:14:39,225 --> 01:14:40,767
    Big Daddy?
    1140
    01:14:41,394 --> 01:14:43,433
    He helped himself twice to hopping John.
    1141
    01:14:43,938 --> 01:14:47,389
    He just loves hopping John.
    We had a real country dinner.
    1142
    01:14:47,608 --> 01:14:49,103
    And candied yams.
    1143

    01:14:49,527 --> 01:14:52,647


    That man put away
    enough to stuff a field hand.
    1144
    01:14:53,364 --> 01:14:55,523
    I hope he doesn't have
    to pay for it later on.
    1145
    01:14:55,742 --> 01:14:56,904
    What's that?
    1146
    01:14:57,118 --> 01:14:58,398
    Gooper say he hopes...
    1147
    01:14:58,619 --> 01:15:00,908
    Shoot! Gooper says!
    1148
    01:15:01,122 --> 01:15:03,791
    There ain't nothing wrong
    with Big Daddy but nerves.
    1149
    01:15:06,127 --> 01:15:07,040
    Ain't that so?
    1150
    01:15:10,465 --> 01:15:13,038
    He's as sound as a dollar.
    And now he knows he is.
    1151
    01:15:13,259 --> 01:15:17,553
    That's why he ate such a supper.
    He had a load off his mind, knowing he...
    1152
    01:15:17,764 --> 01:15:20,433
    ...he wasn't doomed to...
    1153
    01:15:21,100 --> 01:15:23,556
    ...what he thought he was doomed to.
    1154
    01:15:26,105 --> 01:15:28,145
    Nothing's going to hurt Big Daddy.
    1155
    01:15:28,316 --> 01:15:30,558
    We won't allow anything to happen to him.
    1156
    01:15:31,110 --> 01:15:33,269
    Doc, come here!

    1157
    01:15:33,363 --> 01:15:34,773
    I don't need any doctor.
    1158
    01:15:34,864 --> 01:15:36,738
    He's something to say about Big Daddy.
    1159
    01:15:36,824 --> 01:15:38,366
    I want Brick.
    1160
    01:15:39,202 --> 01:15:41,111
    He'll be down directly.
    1161
    01:15:41,329 --> 01:15:43,701
    Sticky rain always makes me sick.
    1162
    01:15:44,749 --> 01:15:47,418
    Give me something
    to wash this tablet down with.
    1163
    01:15:47,669 --> 01:15:50,753
    What's wrong?
    You've all got such long faces.
    1164
    01:15:53,675 --> 01:15:54,920
    Big Mama needs you.
    1165
    01:15:55,134 --> 01:15:56,759
    They'll tell her without me.
    1166
    01:15:56,886 --> 01:15:58,428
    Please, Brick.
    1167
    01:15:58,638 --> 01:16:01,343
    I just can't stand the way
    that Mae and Gooper are...
    1168
    01:16:01,516 --> 01:16:04,054
    What? Trying to grab this place
    for themselves?
    1169
    01:16:04,268 --> 01:16:06,391
    Let them have it all.
    1170
    01:16:06,604 --> 01:16:09,012
    If you want to fight for a piece
    of his carcass...

    1171
    01:16:09,107 --> 01:16:11,432
    ...you go ahead,
    but you'll do it without me.
    1172
    01:16:11,526 --> 01:16:15,820
    I deserved that. But not this time.
    This time you're wrong.
    1173
    01:16:16,030 --> 01:16:17,441
    What I can't stand is...
    1174
    01:16:17,532 --> 01:16:20,698
    It's not losing this place, it's Big Mama.
    1175
    01:16:21,661 --> 01:16:24,496
    I know what it's like
    to lose somebody you love.
    1176
    01:16:24,706 --> 01:16:27,410
    Careful, your claws are showing.
    1177
    01:16:30,712 --> 01:16:32,040
    Close that door.
    1178
    01:16:32,255 --> 01:16:33,915
    Don't close that door.
    1179
    01:16:34,882 --> 01:16:36,542
    Let a little air circulate.
    1180
    01:16:37,260 --> 01:16:40,296
    We shouldn't risk Big Daddy
    hearing this discussion.
    1181
    01:16:40,722 --> 01:16:42,761
    What discussion of what?
    1182
    01:16:42,849 --> 01:16:44,473
    - Maggie, Brick!
    - Now, now, Big Mama...
    1183
    01:16:44,559 --> 01:16:47,310
    There won't be a word said
    in Big Daddy's house...
    1184

    01:16:47,520 --> 01:16:50,604


    ...that he can't hear if he wants to.
    Brick, where are you?
    1185
    01:16:50,690 --> 01:16:53,062
    Where do you think?
    Gone to pieces, that's where!
    1186
    01:16:53,484 --> 01:16:55,607
    Doc, ain't there a cure for drinkers?
    1187
    01:16:55,820 --> 01:16:57,860
    - He don't need no cure.
    - Of course not.
    1188
    01:16:58,072 --> 01:17:00,397
    He'll just drink all the whisky in the state.
    1189
    01:17:00,616 --> 01:17:02,111
    Stop that kind of talk!
    1190
    01:17:03,077 --> 01:17:06,778
    Big Daddy takes a drink now and then.
    I don't trust a man who don't drink.
    1191
    01:17:06,998 --> 01:17:08,492
    Good for you!
    1192
    01:17:09,167 --> 01:17:11,871
    Sit down and hold Big Mama's hand
    while we talk.
    1193
    01:17:13,504 --> 01:17:15,414
    What are you all surrounding me for?
    1194
    01:17:15,631 --> 01:17:17,505
    I don't need anyone to hold my hand.
    1195
    01:17:17,717 --> 01:17:18,666
    Are you all crazy?
    1196
    01:17:18,760 --> 01:17:22,129
    - You calm yourself, sweetheart.
    - You calm yourself, Sister Woman!
    1197
    01:17:22,347 --> 01:17:23,675
    How can I calm myself...

    1198
    01:17:23,765 --> 01:17:26,766
    ...with everyone staring at me
    as if blood was on my face?
    1199
    01:17:28,770 --> 01:17:30,679
    What's all this about?
    1200
    01:17:31,814 --> 01:17:32,977
    Sit down, Mae.
    1201
    01:17:33,191 --> 01:17:36,061
    Big Mama wants to know the truth
    about the clinic report.
    1202
    01:17:36,277 --> 01:17:37,652
    Truth!
    1203
    01:17:38,571 --> 01:17:41,240
    Everybody keeps hollering about the truth.
    1204
    01:17:41,449 --> 01:17:42,908
    The truth is as dirty...
    1205
    01:17:43,117 --> 01:17:44,232
    ...as lies!
    1206
    01:17:53,127 --> 01:17:55,036
    Is there something I don't know, Doc?
    1207
    01:17:55,129 --> 01:17:56,125
    Well, Ida...
    1208
    01:17:56,255 --> 01:17:57,798
    I want to know!
    1209
    01:18:01,260 --> 01:18:04,345
    - Somebody must be lying.
    - Sit down, Mama, please.
    1210
    01:18:05,014 --> 01:18:06,806
    I want to know about my husband.
    1211
    01:18:07,058 --> 01:18:10,723
    He had the most thorough examination
    at the Oppenheim Clinic.

    1212
    01:18:10,937 --> 01:18:12,976
    One of the best clinics in the country.
    1213
    01:18:13,064 --> 01:18:15,637
    The best in the country, bar none.
    1214
    01:18:15,817 --> 01:18:18,486
    They were 99.9 percent sure
    before they even started.
    1215
    01:18:18,736 --> 01:18:19,981
    Right, Doc?
    1216
    01:18:20,321 --> 01:18:21,352
    Sure of what?
    1217
    01:18:21,489 --> 01:18:22,948
    - Not now!
    - The test was positive!
    1218
    01:18:23,157 --> 01:18:24,652
    Shut up.
    1219
    01:18:30,498 --> 01:18:33,701
    It's hopeless. He knows it, too.
    1220
    01:18:34,711 --> 01:18:35,742
    Hopeless?
    1221
    01:18:35,962 --> 01:18:38,631
    - Now, now, darling.
    - You had to know.
    1222
    01:18:39,841 --> 01:18:42,676
    Why didn't they cut it out of him?
    1223
    01:18:44,012 --> 01:18:46,966
    - It's gone past the knife.
    - He's dying, Big Mama.
    1224
    01:18:47,181 --> 01:18:49,554
    You get away from me, Mae!
    1225
    01:18:49,767 --> 01:18:50,597
    I want Brick.

    1226
    01:18:50,685 --> 01:18:52,761
    Where's my Brick? Where's my only son?
    1227
    01:18:56,816 --> 01:18:58,690
    Mama, please.
    1228
    01:19:00,153 --> 01:19:02,311
    - I'm your son, too.
    - Gooper's your firstborn.
    1229
    01:19:02,405 --> 01:19:04,314
    - Now, listen to me!
    - No!
    1230
    01:19:04,741 --> 01:19:06,698
    - He'll be in pain.
    - Gooper and I think...
    1231
    01:19:06,909 --> 01:19:08,320
    Shut up!
    1232
    01:19:08,536 --> 01:19:10,244
    Do you want to see him suffer?
    1233
    01:19:10,371 --> 01:19:12,862
    Then he's got to be started on morphine.
    1234
    01:19:13,041 --> 01:19:15,710
    Nobody's going to give
    my husband morphine.
    1235
    01:19:23,092 --> 01:19:25,714
    Why don't you give her a while
    to adjust to the idea?
    1236
    01:19:25,803 --> 01:19:27,630
    It's Maggie who's upsetting her.
    1237
    01:19:27,722 --> 01:19:31,885
    Instead of the needle, haven't you got a pill
    to make the pain disappear?
    1238
    01:19:32,060 --> 01:19:35,642
    Sometimes I wish I had a pill
    to make people disappear.

    1239
    01:19:35,855 --> 01:19:38,476
    Thanks for everything, Doc.
    We sure do appreciate...
    1240
    01:19:55,750 --> 01:19:56,580
    Does Brick know?
    1241
    01:20:10,765 --> 01:20:12,674
    You know, honey...
    1242
    01:20:14,644 --> 01:20:17,051
    ...we was never a very happy family.
    1243
    01:20:19,607 --> 01:20:21,979
    There wasn't much joy in this house.
    1244
    01:20:22,193 --> 01:20:25,443
    It wasn't Big Daddy's fault. It was just...
    1245
    01:20:25,947 --> 01:20:29,482
    You know how some homes are happy.
    1246
    01:20:30,743 --> 01:20:35,286
    I thought, coming home from the clinic
    today, "Now we'll be happy here."
    1247
    01:20:35,915 --> 01:20:39,201
    You and Brick will live with us
    and have your children here.
    1248
    01:20:39,419 --> 01:20:41,625
    And we'll help each other be happy.
    1249
    01:20:46,926 --> 01:20:48,919
    Nothing's ever the way you plan, is it?
    1250
    01:20:55,852 --> 01:20:57,180
    Margaret, honey...
    1251
    01:20:57,395 --> 01:20:58,723
    ...you've got to help Brick.
    1252
    01:20:58,813 --> 01:21:00,473
    Make him pull himself together.
    1253

    01:21:00,690 --> 01:21:03,395


    - He's going to take hold of things.
    - What things?
    1254
    01:21:06,070 --> 01:21:06,984
    The place.
    1255
    01:21:07,488 --> 01:21:09,196
    Big Mama, you've had a shock.
    1256
    01:21:09,407 --> 01:21:10,687
    We've all had a shock.
    1257
    01:21:10,783 --> 01:21:13,737
    - Let's be realistic.
    - Big Daddy wouldn't be foolish enough...
    1258
    01:21:13,828 --> 01:21:17,078
    He'd never put this place
    in irresponsible hands!
    1259
    01:21:17,165 --> 01:21:19,572
    He ain't putting this place
    in anybody's hands.
    1260
    01:21:20,001 --> 01:21:22,373
    My husband is not going to die!
    1261
    01:21:22,587 --> 01:21:24,994
    I want you to get that in your heads.
    Both of you.
    1262
    01:21:25,089 --> 01:21:27,545
    - We're hoping too.
    - We intend to pray for him.
    1263
    01:21:27,759 --> 01:21:29,835
    I won't let you persuade Big Daddy to...
    1264
    01:21:29,927 --> 01:21:31,920
    Gooper is your firstborn!
    1265
    01:21:32,138 --> 01:21:35,839
    He's always had to carry a bigger load
    of the responsibilities than Brick.
    1266
    01:21:36,351 --> 01:21:40,135

    Brick never carried a thing in his life


    but a football or a highball.
    1267
    01:21:40,355 --> 01:21:41,730
    Will you let me talk, please?
    1268
    01:21:41,814 --> 01:21:43,273
    Yes, of course.
    1269
    01:21:44,776 --> 01:21:47,646
    A 28,000 acre plantation
    is a mighty big thing to run.
    1270
    01:21:47,862 --> 01:21:49,273
    Almost single-handed.
    1271
    01:21:49,489 --> 01:21:53,023
    You had your law practice in Memphis.
    When did you run this place?
    1272
    01:21:53,201 --> 01:21:55,739
    Mama, let's be fair.
    1273
    01:21:56,454 --> 01:21:58,779
    Ever since Big Daddy's health
    started failing...
    1274
    01:21:58,873 --> 01:22:01,542
    ...Gooper's worked like a fool
    to keep this place up.
    1275
    01:22:01,751 --> 01:22:05,334
    Gooper won't admit it.
    He never thought of it as a duty.
    1276
    01:22:05,838 --> 01:22:07,630
    Big Daddy don't know what he owns.
    1277
    01:22:07,840 --> 01:22:11,920
    The point is I won't see this place ruined
    by a drunken ex-football hero.
    1278
    01:22:12,136 --> 01:22:13,963
    Shut up about my husband!
    1279
    01:22:14,180 --> 01:22:15,010
    You shut up!

    1280
    01:22:15,098 --> 01:22:17,055
    He has no right to slander...
    1281
    01:22:17,266 --> 01:22:19,936
    I can discuss my brother
    with my family members...
    1282
    01:22:20,395 --> 01:22:22,683
    ...which don't include you!
    1283
    01:22:24,440 --> 01:22:26,148
    Why not go up and drink with Brick?
    1284
    01:22:26,234 --> 01:22:28,772
    If the hero hadn't passed out already.
    1285
    01:22:28,986 --> 01:22:31,478
    He may have to pass up
    the Sugar Bowl this year.
    1286
    01:22:31,906 --> 01:22:34,112
    Or was it the Rose Bowl
    he made his run in?
    1287
    01:22:34,200 --> 01:22:35,860
    It was the punch bowl, honey.
    1288
    01:22:35,952 --> 01:22:37,991
    The cut-glass punch bowl.
    1289
    01:22:38,538 --> 01:22:40,614
    I always get that boy's bowls mixed up.
    1290
    01:22:41,249 --> 01:22:44,831
    I have never seen such malice
    toward a brother.
    1291
    01:22:45,044 --> 01:22:47,251
    What about his malice toward Gooper?
    1292
    01:22:47,463 --> 01:22:50,250
    He can't even stand being
    in the same room with me.
    1293
    01:22:52,343 --> 01:22:53,921

    Can I help you, Mr. Brick?


    1294
    01:22:54,095 --> 01:22:55,470
    No, thank you, Lacey.
    1295
    01:22:55,680 --> 01:22:58,349
    - Where's my father?
    - He's in the cellar.
    1296
    01:22:58,558 --> 01:23:00,431
    And he's alone.
    1297
    01:23:00,810 --> 01:23:01,973
    And he's...
    1298
    01:23:02,687 --> 01:23:04,311
    Thank you, Lacey.
    1299
    01:23:04,814 --> 01:23:08,017
    - It's a deliberate campaign to ruin Brick.
    - He don't need help.
    1300
    01:23:08,109 --> 01:23:10,980
    For the most disgusting,
    sordid reasons on earth.
    1301
    01:23:11,195 --> 01:23:12,144
    Avarice.
    1302
    01:23:12,363 --> 01:23:14,854
    Avarice and greed!
    1303
    01:23:15,074 --> 01:23:15,988
    No, Margaret.
    1304
    01:23:16,200 --> 01:23:17,576
    Don't cry.
    1305
    01:23:17,785 --> 01:23:20,111
    That takes the cake!
    1306
    01:23:20,329 --> 01:23:22,073
    Who are the tears for?
    1307
    01:23:22,957 --> 01:23:23,704
    Brick?

    1308
    01:23:23,916 --> 01:23:24,996
    Big Daddy?
    1309
    01:23:25,084 --> 01:23:26,199
    Or for yourself?
    1310
    01:23:26,544 --> 01:23:28,453
    Are you crying 'cause you're childless?
    1311
    01:23:28,546 --> 01:23:30,171
    You know why she's got no kids?
    1312
    01:23:30,381 --> 01:23:33,715
    Ask her big, beautiful husband.
    1313
    01:23:34,552 --> 01:23:37,257
    You just won't let me do this
    the nice way, will you?
    1314
    01:23:39,265 --> 01:23:41,554
    You always said I never loved Big Daddy.
    1315
    01:23:41,768 --> 01:23:43,262
    How would you know?
    1316
    01:23:44,604 --> 01:23:45,884
    How would he know?
    1317
    01:23:46,022 --> 01:23:47,979
    Did he ever let anyone love him?
    1318
    01:23:48,191 --> 01:23:50,764
    It was always Brick.
    From the day he was born...
    1319
    01:23:50,860 --> 01:23:53,481
    ...he was always partial to Brick. Why?
    1320
    01:23:53,654 --> 01:23:56,324
    Big Daddy wanted me to become a lawyer.
    I did.
    1321
    01:23:56,532 --> 01:23:57,908
    He said get married. I did.

    1322
    01:23:58,117 --> 01:23:59,909
    He said have kids. I did.
    1323
    01:24:00,119 --> 01:24:02,159
    He said live in Memphis. I did.
    1324
    01:24:02,372 --> 01:24:04,993
    Whatever he said to do, I did.
    1325
    01:24:06,250 --> 01:24:08,920
    I don't give a damn
    whether Big Daddy likes me...
    1326
    01:24:09,128 --> 01:24:10,753
    ...or did or never did...
    1327
    01:24:10,963 --> 01:24:13,086
    ...or will or will never.
    1328
    01:24:14,425 --> 01:24:17,960
    I've appealed for common decency
    and fair play.
    1329
    01:24:18,179 --> 01:24:19,887
    Now I'm telling you!
    1330
    01:24:20,223 --> 01:24:22,180
    I intend to protect my interests.
    1331
    01:24:22,350 --> 01:24:25,019
    I'm not a corporation lawyer for nothing.
    1332
    01:24:25,728 --> 01:24:27,768
    Go get my briefcase out of our bedroom.
    1333
    01:24:34,654 --> 01:24:36,278
    It was...
    1334
    01:24:36,531 --> 01:24:39,235
    It was the Cotton Bowl, Sister Woman.
    1335
    01:24:58,886 --> 01:25:00,049
    Pa?
    1336
    01:25:41,137 --> 01:25:43,806

    - Give me your hand.


    - I don't want your hand!
    1337
    01:26:37,527 --> 01:26:38,522
    No.
    1338
    01:26:38,736 --> 01:26:40,147
    It's my pain.
    1339
    01:26:40,321 --> 01:26:42,148
    That makes it my business.
    1340
    01:26:42,490 --> 01:26:45,361
    I thought you went and hid yourself.
    What do you want?
    1341
    01:26:45,618 --> 01:26:47,658
    I came to apologize.
    1342
    01:26:49,163 --> 01:26:50,907
    What for, telling me the truth?
    1343
    01:26:51,124 --> 01:26:54,457
    - There must a dozen reasons.
    - Save them.
    1344
    01:26:54,669 --> 01:26:57,290
    I hate apologies. Especially for the truth.
    1345
    01:26:57,505 --> 01:27:00,589
    Whatever you did, don't apologize.
    Just don't do it again.
    1346
    01:27:00,800 --> 01:27:02,876
    If you didn't do it, start doing it.
    1347
    01:27:03,094 --> 01:27:05,170
    Start by getting me a cigar
    out of that coat.
    1348
    01:27:05,263 --> 01:27:07,884
    - You think you ought to...
    - Get me the cigar, boy!
    1349
    01:27:13,813 --> 01:27:14,844
    It's wet from rain.

    1350
    01:27:14,939 --> 01:27:18,984
    You're all wet yourself.
    It's a lousy joke, but it's true.
    1351
    01:27:22,864 --> 01:27:24,856
    Modern science!
    1352
    01:27:37,378 --> 01:27:38,920
    Get me that...
    1353
    01:27:43,426 --> 01:27:44,291
    ...that robe.
    1354
    01:27:56,189 --> 01:27:59,225
    - There's a bottle in that desk.
    - I don't want a drink.
    1355
    01:27:59,442 --> 01:28:00,901
    I do.
    1356
    01:28:01,069 --> 01:28:02,729
    I want a drink.
    1357
    01:28:03,237 --> 01:28:05,907
    I've got a million clicks in my guts.
    1358
    01:28:07,241 --> 01:28:09,732
    Knives sharpening themselves.
    1359
    01:28:12,747 --> 01:28:14,953
    You know about clicks, don't you?
    1360
    01:28:18,169 --> 01:28:20,494
    So you bought me a birthday present, huh?
    1361
    01:28:21,839 --> 01:28:23,631
    No, Maggie bought it.
    1362
    01:28:25,468 --> 01:28:28,588
    - She's got good taste that girl.
    - In some things, yes...
    1363
    01:28:28,805 --> 01:28:30,548
    ...but not in men.
    1364

    01:28:33,476 --> 01:28:35,101


    Nice soft material.
    1365
    01:28:35,520 --> 01:28:37,477
    This is my soft birthday.
    1366
    01:28:37,689 --> 01:28:41,058
    Not my gold or silver.
    This is my soft birthday.
    1367
    01:28:46,280 --> 01:28:47,940
    Here's to my...
    1368
    01:28:48,116 --> 01:28:49,942
    ...last birthday.
    1369
    01:28:51,285 --> 01:28:53,361
    Aren't you drinking to that?
    1370
    01:28:55,623 --> 01:28:57,283
    Clickety-click.
    1371
    01:29:08,761 --> 01:29:11,003
    You know what I'm going to do
    before I die?
    1372
    01:29:12,306 --> 01:29:14,465
    I'm going to open up all these boxes.
    1373
    01:29:16,811 --> 01:29:18,471
    Will you look at this stuff?
    1374
    01:29:19,063 --> 01:29:20,226
    Bought most of it...
    1375
    01:29:20,440 --> 01:29:23,061
    ...when I took your mother to Europe
    on that tour.
    1376
    01:29:23,151 --> 01:29:25,986
    Never had such a lousy time in my life.
    1377
    01:29:26,320 --> 01:29:29,156
    That Europe is nothing
    but a great big auction.
    1378

    01:29:29,449 --> 01:29:33,149


    Bunch of old worn-out places.
    It's just a big fire sale.
    1379
    01:29:33,369 --> 01:29:35,445
    Big Mama went wild in it.
    1380
    01:29:35,663 --> 01:29:38,332
    She just bought and bought.
    1381
    01:29:39,083 --> 01:29:42,084
    She was lucky I'm a rich man.
    Yes, it sure is lucky.
    1382
    01:29:42,879 --> 01:29:45,998
    Got any idea what I'm worth? Ask Gooper.
    1383
    01:29:46,215 --> 01:29:48,920
    He knows to the penny
    unless I miss my guess.
    1384
    01:29:50,345 --> 01:29:54,010
    Close on $10 million in cash
    and blue-chip stocks...
    1385
    01:29:54,223 --> 01:29:57,059
    ...besides some 28,000 acres
    of the richest land...
    1386
    01:29:57,268 --> 01:29:59,095
    ...this side of the Valley Nile.
    1387
    01:29:59,312 --> 01:30:01,518
    That is pretty rich to be.
    1388
    01:30:04,317 --> 01:30:09,109
    There's one thing you can't buy
    in a Europe fire sale...
    1389
    01:30:09,655 --> 01:30:11,897
    ...or any other market on earth.
    1390
    01:30:12,533 --> 01:30:14,158
    That's your life.
    1391
    01:30:17,038 --> 01:30:19,790
    You can't buy back your life

    when it's finished.


    1392
    01:30:20,041 --> 01:30:21,915
    No, sir. Nobody can do that.
    1393
    01:30:23,628 --> 01:30:25,087
    Feeling sorry for me or you?
    1394
    01:30:29,717 --> 01:30:30,713
    For you, Papa.
    1395
    01:30:30,885 --> 01:30:33,554
    That's good,
    because you're going to miss me.
    1396
    01:30:35,682 --> 01:30:38,219
    Why did you let Ma buy all this stuff?
    1397
    01:30:38,893 --> 01:30:42,843
    The human animal is a beast
    that eventually has to die.
    1398
    01:30:43,231 --> 01:30:46,647
    If he's got money, he buys and he buys.
    1399
    01:30:47,568 --> 01:30:50,404
    The reason why he buys everything he can,
    is because...
    1400
    01:30:50,488 --> 01:30:54,486
    ...of a crazy hope that one of the things
    he buys will be life everlasting...
    1401
    01:30:55,076 --> 01:30:56,985
    ...which it never can be.
    1402
    01:30:57,412 --> 01:31:01,160
    I've suddenly noticed you don't call me
    Big Daddy anymore.
    1403
    01:31:01,374 --> 01:31:04,375
    If you needed a Big Daddy,
    why didn't you come to me?
    1404
    01:31:04,585 --> 01:31:08,583
    If you wanted someone to lean on, why
    Skipper? Why not me? I'm your father.

    1405
    01:31:08,881 --> 01:31:11,669
    You should've come to your kinfolk.
    Those who love you.
    1406
    01:31:11,759 --> 01:31:15,175
    You don't know what love means.
    To you it's another four-letter word.
    1407
    01:31:15,263 --> 01:31:16,805
    You've got a short memory.
    1408
    01:31:17,098 --> 01:31:20,965
    - What did you want that I didn't buy?
    - You can't buy love!
    1409
    01:31:21,185 --> 01:31:24,554
    You bought $1 million worth of junk!
    Does it love you?
    1410
    01:31:24,772 --> 01:31:28,141
    Who do you think I bought it for?
    It's yours, the place, the money!
    1411
    01:31:28,359 --> 01:31:30,316
    I don't want things!
    1412
    01:31:32,864 --> 01:31:34,572
    We drew this up...
    1413
    01:31:36,784 --> 01:31:40,236
    - We drew this up with the advice...
    - Get out of the way.
    1414
    01:31:42,123 --> 01:31:44,448
    - Get out of my way.
    - We're settling this first.
    1415
    01:31:44,542 --> 01:31:47,662
    - I don't want to see it.
    - It's a sort of a plan. A preliminary.
    1416
    01:31:55,470 --> 01:31:57,012
    Waste!
    1417
    01:32:06,981 --> 01:32:08,392
    Worthless!

    1418
    01:32:17,325 --> 01:32:18,819
    Worthless!
    1419
    01:32:40,807 --> 01:32:41,886
    Don't, son.
    1420
    01:32:43,518 --> 01:32:45,012
    Please don't cry.
    1421
    01:33:00,076 --> 01:33:01,356
    That's funny.
    1422
    01:33:01,994 --> 01:33:05,577
    I never saw you cry before.
    Did you ever cry as a kid?
    1423
    01:33:05,665 --> 01:33:10,208
    Can't you understand?
    I never wanted your place or money.
    1424
    01:33:10,503 --> 01:33:12,709
    I don't want to own anything!
    1425
    01:33:12,922 --> 01:33:16,208
    All I wanted was a father, not a boss!
    1426
    01:33:16,718 --> 01:33:18,841
    I wanted you to love me.
    1427
    01:33:19,053 --> 01:33:20,595
    I did and I do.
    1428
    01:33:21,681 --> 01:33:24,219
    Not me and not Gooper,
    and not even Mama.
    1429
    01:33:24,392 --> 01:33:25,767
    That's a lie.
    1430
    01:33:25,977 --> 01:33:27,471
    I loved her. I gave her...
    1431
    01:33:27,687 --> 01:33:30,771
    Things, Papa, you gave her things.

    1432
    01:33:30,982 --> 01:33:33,520
    A house, a trip to Europe, all this junk.
    1433
    01:33:33,735 --> 01:33:37,353
    Some jewelry.
    You gave her things, not love.
    1434
    01:33:39,073 --> 01:33:40,947
    I gave her an empire.
    1435
    01:33:41,159 --> 01:33:44,076
    I've seen you out there on your empire...
    1436
    01:33:44,287 --> 01:33:47,453
    ...with the men who run it for you.
    You don't know their names...
    1437
    01:33:47,665 --> 01:33:51,283
    ...or if they've kids or are happy.
    You've never looked into their faces.
    1438
    01:33:51,377 --> 01:33:54,995
    What are faces? You don't build an empire
    by remembering faces.
    1439
    01:33:55,256 --> 01:33:58,257
    Next week,
    I'll start building that textile plant.
    1440
    01:33:58,468 --> 01:34:02,417
    I'll not only grow my own cotton,
    I'll weave it and market it.
    1441
    01:34:02,597 --> 01:34:03,343
    I'll tell you...
    1442
    01:34:03,556 --> 01:34:05,964
    ...in a year or two from now...
    1443
    01:34:21,699 --> 01:34:25,946
    The men who build empires die,
    and empires die too.
    1444
    01:34:26,621 --> 01:34:27,901
    No, it won't.
    1445

    01:34:28,122 --> 01:34:30,115


    That's why I've got you and Gooper.
    1446
    01:34:30,333 --> 01:34:31,578
    Look at Gooper.
    1447
    01:34:31,793 --> 01:34:35,162
    Look at what he's become.
    Is that what you wanted him to be?
    1448
    01:34:35,380 --> 01:34:36,874
    Look at me.
    1449
    01:34:37,215 --> 01:34:41,426
    You were right. I am a 30-year-old kid.
    And pretty soon I'll be a 50-year-old kid.
    1450
    01:34:41,636 --> 01:34:44,969
    I don't know what to believe in.
    What's the good of living?
    1451
    01:34:45,181 --> 01:34:48,716
    There's got to be some purpose in life,
    some meaning.
    1452
    01:34:49,352 --> 01:34:52,970
    Look at me, for the sake of God,
    before it's too late!
    1453
    01:34:53,147 --> 01:34:56,018
    For once, look at me as I really am.
    1454
    01:34:56,234 --> 01:34:57,514
    Look at me!
    1455
    01:34:58,986 --> 01:35:00,564
    I'm a failure. I'm a drunk.
    1456
    01:35:00,697 --> 01:35:04,315
    On my own in the open market,
    I'm not worth the price of a decent burial.
    1457
    01:35:04,534 --> 01:35:09,077
    - All of you blame me for everything, huh?
    - No, Papa.
    1458
    01:35:12,583 --> 01:35:15,620

    We've known each other all my life


    and we're strangers.
    1459
    01:35:16,254 --> 01:35:20,797
    You own 28,000 acres.
    You own $10 million.
    1460
    01:35:21,009 --> 01:35:25,386
    You own a wife and two children.
    You own us, but you don't love us.
    1461
    01:35:26,389 --> 01:35:28,962
    - In my own way...
    - No, sir.
    1462
    01:35:29,392 --> 01:35:31,468
    You don't even like people.
    1463
    01:35:32,437 --> 01:35:35,770
    You wanted Gooper and me to have kids.
    Why?
    1464
    01:35:36,941 --> 01:35:40,986
    I want a part of me to keep living.
    I won't have it end with the grave.
    1465
    01:35:41,195 --> 01:35:42,393
    Look!
    1466
    01:35:43,031 --> 01:35:45,568
    This is what my father left me.
    1467
    01:35:45,783 --> 01:35:47,277
    This lousy old suitcase!
    1468
    01:35:47,994 --> 01:35:50,283
    On the inside was nothing...
    1469
    01:35:50,496 --> 01:35:54,197
    ...but his uniform
    from the Spanish-American War.
    1470
    01:35:54,417 --> 01:35:56,742
    This was his legacy to me.
    1471
    01:35:56,961 --> 01:35:58,621
    Nothing at all!

    1472
    01:36:00,715 --> 01:36:03,632
    And I built this place from nothing.
    1473
    01:36:08,681 --> 01:36:10,840
    And that's all he left you?
    1474
    01:36:11,225 --> 01:36:13,763
    Yeah, he was a hobo.
    1475
    01:36:15,396 --> 01:36:18,267
    Best-known tramp on the boxcar circuit.
    1476
    01:36:18,483 --> 01:36:22,017
    He worked once in a while as a field hand.
    I'd tag along.
    1477
    01:36:22,653 --> 01:36:26,069
    Sat on my bare bottom, in the dirt,
    waiting for him.
    1478
    01:36:27,575 --> 01:36:29,318
    Outside of hunger...
    1479
    01:36:29,535 --> 01:36:31,991
    ...first thing I could remember is shame.
    1480
    01:36:32,205 --> 01:36:35,040
    I was ashamed
    of that miserable, old tramp.
    1481
    01:36:35,500 --> 01:36:39,829
    I was riding boxcars when I was nine,
    something you never had to do.
    1482
    01:36:40,046 --> 01:36:43,415
    And you'll never have to bury me
    like I did him.
    1483
    01:36:44,133 --> 01:36:47,419
    I buried him in a meadow,
    alongside a railroad track.
    1484
    01:36:47,595 --> 01:36:51,011
    We were running to catch a freight
    and his heart gave out.

    1485
    01:36:54,060 --> 01:36:55,519
    You know something?
    1486
    01:36:56,854 --> 01:36:59,061
    That lousy old tramp died laughing.
    1487
    01:36:59,273 --> 01:37:00,933
    Laughing at what?
    1488
    01:37:01,943 --> 01:37:03,817
    Himself, I guess.
    1489
    01:37:04,028 --> 01:37:05,487
    A hobo tramp...
    1490
    01:37:05,697 --> 01:37:09,564
    ...not a nickel in his jeans.
    No future, no past.
    1491
    01:37:11,119 --> 01:37:14,951
    Or maybe he was laughing
    because he was happy.
    1492
    01:37:15,873 --> 01:37:17,783
    Happy at having you with him.
    1493
    01:37:17,959 --> 01:37:20,794
    He took you everywhere
    and he kept you with him.
    1494
    01:37:22,630 --> 01:37:24,587
    I don't want to talk about that.
    1495
    01:37:39,981 --> 01:37:41,772
    Yeah, I loved him.
    1496
    01:37:45,820 --> 01:37:48,737
    I reckon I never loved anything
    as much as that...
    1497
    01:37:48,948 --> 01:37:50,656
    ...lousy old tramp.
    1498
    01:37:52,493 --> 01:37:53,904
    And you say...

    1499
    01:37:54,120 --> 01:37:56,528
    ...he left you nothing but a suitcase...
    1500
    01:37:56,748 --> 01:38:00,247
    ...with a uniform in it
    from the Spanish-American War?
    1501
    01:38:00,793 --> 01:38:02,501
    And some memories.
    1502
    01:38:03,838 --> 01:38:05,083
    And love.
    1503
    01:38:10,970 --> 01:38:13,342
    Did I tell you all them stories
    about my old man?
    1504
    01:38:13,556 --> 01:38:15,134
    About fifty times.
    1505
    01:38:29,364 --> 01:38:32,863
    It's a plan to protect the Delta's
    biggest estate from irresponsibility.
    1506
    01:38:32,950 --> 01:38:33,946
    You have to sign.
    1507
    01:38:37,205 --> 01:38:38,996
    Where is it?
    1508
    01:38:39,874 --> 01:38:40,538
    What?
    1509
    01:38:40,666 --> 01:38:44,000
    What the doctor left
    to make his pain easier.
    1510
    01:38:44,671 --> 01:38:48,371
    Brick's down there with him.
    He'll help Big Daddy.
    1511
    01:38:48,591 --> 01:38:50,050
    Help him? How?
    1512
    01:38:50,259 --> 01:38:52,335
    By running the 100-yard dash?

    1513
    01:38:52,553 --> 01:38:55,590
    Maybe he'll cheer him up
    by kicking some field goals.
    1514
    01:38:55,890 --> 01:38:58,725
    One more crack, Queenie...
    1515
    01:38:58,893 --> 01:39:03,306
    ...and I will not only spit in your eye
    but I will punch it black and blue.
    1516
    01:39:03,398 --> 01:39:04,263
    Hold on a minute!
    1517
    01:39:04,357 --> 01:39:06,978
    - I'm not listening to any more...
    - Mae was only saying...
    1518
    01:39:07,068 --> 01:39:09,820
    I know what she said,
    and I know exactly what she meant.
    1519
    01:39:09,904 --> 01:39:11,778
    The only world that Brick knows...
    1520
    01:39:11,864 --> 01:39:14,106
    It's not a world he made.
    1521
    01:39:18,413 --> 01:39:19,326
    Ladies!
    1522
    01:39:21,249 --> 01:39:23,704
    - No.
    - Why won't you take it?
    1523
    01:39:24,711 --> 01:39:28,044
    - It'll kill the pain, that's all.
    - It'll kill the senses, too.
    1524
    01:39:28,256 --> 01:39:31,007
    When you've got pain
    at least you know you're alive.
    1525
    01:39:37,098 --> 01:39:39,091
    It's easing somewhat now.

    1526
    01:39:41,102 --> 01:39:42,845
    When you've got pain...
    1527
    01:39:43,271 --> 01:39:46,307
    ...it's better to judge yourself,
    a lot of things.
    1528
    01:39:46,524 --> 01:39:49,015
    I'm not going to stupefy myself
    with that stuff.
    1529
    01:39:49,110 --> 01:39:50,770
    I want to think clear.
    1530
    01:39:50,987 --> 01:39:53,478
    I want to see everything
    and feel everything.
    1531
    01:39:53,698 --> 01:39:55,441
    Then I won't mind going.
    1532
    01:39:56,617 --> 01:39:58,776
    I've got the guts to die.
    1533
    01:39:58,995 --> 01:40:01,949
    What I want to know is,
    have you got the guts to live?
    1534
    01:40:02,331 --> 01:40:03,790
    I don't know.
    1535
    01:40:05,126 --> 01:40:06,668
    We can try.
    1536
    01:40:08,588 --> 01:40:11,624
    We could start by helping each other
    up these stairs.
    1537
    01:40:24,145 --> 01:40:25,343
    Yes, sir.
    1538
    01:40:28,941 --> 01:40:30,056
    At least read them.
    1539
    01:40:30,193 --> 01:40:32,435
    Put those papers away

    before I tear them up.


    1540
    01:40:32,653 --> 01:40:34,895
    I don't want to know what's in them.
    1541
    01:40:35,114 --> 01:40:39,575
    I'm talking in Big Daddy's language.
    I'm his wife, not his widow. His wife!
    1542
    01:40:39,952 --> 01:40:42,325
    - What I've got here...
    - He said it's just a plan.
    1543
    01:40:42,413 --> 01:40:46,245
    Plan basis. What I'll say to your plan is...
    1544
    01:40:47,877 --> 01:40:50,997
    What is it Big Daddy says
    when he's disgusted?
    1545
    01:40:51,214 --> 01:40:54,168
    He says "bull" when he's disgusted.
    1546
    01:40:54,342 --> 01:40:57,047
    That's right. I say "bull" like Big Daddy.
    1547
    01:40:57,261 --> 01:41:00,132
    - Coarse language don't seem called for.
    - Bull!
    1548
    01:41:00,348 --> 01:41:02,340
    I am outraged by this kind of talk.
    1549
    01:41:02,433 --> 01:41:05,553
    Then stop talking like your father's dead
    and me along with him.
    1550
    01:41:05,645 --> 01:41:07,684
    What about her? She wants her share, too.
    1551
    01:41:08,940 --> 01:41:11,098
    As far as Brick is concerned...
    1552
    01:41:11,317 --> 01:41:13,855
    ...nobody's going to take nothing.
    1553

    01:41:14,070 --> 01:41:15,778


    Not till Big Daddy lets go...
    1554
    01:41:15,988 --> 01:41:20,033
    ...and maybe just possibly, not even then!
    1555
    01:41:20,368 --> 01:41:22,360
    No, Mama, not even then.
    1556
    01:41:26,541 --> 01:41:28,332
    Hello, Bucky!
    1557
    01:41:31,212 --> 01:41:34,047
    Looks like the wind took some liberties
    with this place.
    1558
    01:41:34,215 --> 01:41:35,958
    - Evening, Cap'n!
    - Evening, Cap'n!
    1559
    01:41:36,050 --> 01:41:38,755
    - Storm cross over the river?
    - Gone to Arkansas.
    1560
    01:41:38,970 --> 01:41:40,713
    Rain do some good, Cap'n?
    1561
    01:41:40,888 --> 01:41:42,548
    Some good, I reckon.
    1562
    01:41:44,559 --> 01:41:45,839
    Some good.
    1563
    01:41:47,562 --> 01:41:48,973
    You could at least read them.
    1564
    01:41:49,063 --> 01:41:52,230
    Put them away before I tear them up.
    I don't know what's in them.
    1565
    01:41:52,400 --> 01:41:53,894
    I don't want to know.
    1566
    01:41:55,486 --> 01:41:56,731
    Can I come in?
    1567

    01:41:58,614 --> 01:42:01,319


    Has the storm done any damage?
    1568
    01:42:01,534 --> 01:42:04,155
    Which storm are you talking about?
    The one outside...
    1569
    01:42:04,245 --> 01:42:06,238
    ...or that hullabaloo going on in here?
    1570
    01:42:14,964 --> 01:42:16,127
    Excuse me, sir.
    1571
    01:42:16,466 --> 01:42:20,962
    Heard some mighty loud talking.
    What's the powwow about?
    1572
    01:42:21,346 --> 01:42:24,382
    Nothing, Big Daddy. Nothing at all.
    1573
    01:42:24,891 --> 01:42:28,011
    What's in them important-looking
    documents you've got there?
    1574
    01:42:28,436 --> 01:42:31,105
    Nothing. Nothing much of anything at all.
    1575
    01:42:31,397 --> 01:42:35,940
    Then what are you and Sister Woman
    scurrying and scrounging around for?
    1576
    01:42:36,569 --> 01:42:39,107
    Looks like a whole lot of nothing to me.
    1577
    01:42:42,408 --> 01:42:44,531
    What's that smell in this room?
    1578
    01:42:45,370 --> 01:42:47,113
    Didn't you notice it, Brick?
    1579
    01:42:47,789 --> 01:42:51,573
    Didn't you notice the powerful
    and obnoxious odor of mendacity?
    1580
    01:42:55,129 --> 01:42:57,703
    Yes, sir, I think I did.

    1581
    01:42:57,924 --> 01:43:01,293
    Ain't nothing more powerful
    than the odor of mendacity.
    1582
    01:43:02,428 --> 01:43:04,884
    - Didn't you notice it, Gooper?
    - What, sir?
    1583
    01:43:05,139 --> 01:43:07,179
    What about you, Sister Woman?
    1584
    01:43:07,392 --> 01:43:11,057
    Didn't you notice an unpleasant smell
    of mendacity in this room?
    1585
    01:43:11,562 --> 01:43:13,851
    I don't even know what that is.
    1586
    01:43:14,065 --> 01:43:17,648
    You can smell it. It smells like death.
    1587
    01:43:22,365 --> 01:43:26,315
    What's the matter with that woman?
    What's-your-name, what's wrong?
    1588
    01:43:26,703 --> 01:43:29,620
    She just had a slight dizzy spell.
    1589
    01:43:29,831 --> 01:43:32,238
    You'd better watch that.
    A stroke's a bad way to go.
    1590
    01:43:35,044 --> 01:43:38,709
    Look, he's wearing
    Brick's birthday present.
    1591
    01:43:39,924 --> 01:43:43,507
    I haven't given you my present yet
    but I will now.
    1592
    01:43:43,845 --> 01:43:45,588
    I have an announcement.
    1593
    01:43:45,805 --> 01:43:47,632
    What kind of an announcement?
    1594

    01:43:49,100 --> 01:43:51,306


    An announcement of life beginning.
    1595
    01:43:53,855 --> 01:43:55,764
    A child is coming...
    1596
    01:43:56,858 --> 01:43:59,396
    ...sired by Brick out of Maggie the cat.
    1597
    01:44:03,364 --> 01:44:05,653
    I have Brick's child in my body.
    1598
    01:44:06,534 --> 01:44:08,574
    And that is my present to you.
    1599
    01:44:09,037 --> 01:44:12,821
    Did you ever in your born days
    hear such a bald-faced lie?
    1600
    01:44:13,041 --> 01:44:14,203
    Shut up.
    1601
    01:44:16,044 --> 01:44:17,419
    Thank you.
    1602
    01:44:17,628 --> 01:44:19,420
    Thank you very much.
    1603
    01:44:32,894 --> 01:44:36,678
    Yes, indeed, this girl has life in her body.
    1604
    01:44:37,732 --> 01:44:39,392
    And that's no lie.
    1605
    01:44:40,360 --> 01:44:43,775
    I want my lawyer in the morning.
    My lawyer!
    1606
    01:44:45,406 --> 01:44:47,529
    - Brick?
    - Yes, Big Daddy?
    1607
    01:44:50,286 --> 01:44:53,322
    I'm going out to look this place over
    before I give it up.
    1608

    01:44:53,831 --> 01:44:55,954


    The place and the people on it.
    1609
    01:45:02,215 --> 01:45:03,673
    You want to come with me?
    1610
    01:45:17,605 --> 01:45:19,811
    What were you two talking about
    down there?
    1611
    01:45:19,899 --> 01:45:20,812
    Us.
    1612
    01:45:21,234 --> 01:45:22,396
    Me, too?
    1613
    01:45:23,277 --> 01:45:23,942
    Yeah.
    1614
    01:45:24,153 --> 01:45:26,905
    You ripped your own brother apart.
    1615
    01:45:28,241 --> 01:45:29,901
    Do you believe that, Gooper?
    1616
    01:45:34,080 --> 01:45:35,539
    - No.
    - Well, I do!
    1617
    01:45:35,748 --> 01:45:36,697
    Keep still.
    1618
    01:45:36,916 --> 01:45:41,210
    A family crisis brings out the best
    and the worst in every member.
    1619
    01:45:41,546 --> 01:45:43,004
    That's the truth.
    1620
    01:45:43,256 --> 01:45:44,454
    Amen.
    1621
    01:45:45,466 --> 01:45:48,800
    You want to talk about the truth?
    You're not pregnant.
    1622

    01:45:48,970 --> 01:45:50,381


    - Be still.
    - She made it up.
    1623
    01:45:50,596 --> 01:45:53,847
    - I said shut up.
    - Don't you try to kid us.
    1624
    01:45:55,351 --> 01:45:57,143
    She's not kidding you.
    1625
    01:45:57,353 --> 01:46:00,769
    How can she have a child by you,
    when you won't even...
    1626
    01:46:01,024 --> 01:46:01,972
    Keep quiet!
    1627
    01:46:02,191 --> 01:46:05,856
    We occupy the next room
    and the walls aren't soundproof.
    1628
    01:46:06,070 --> 01:46:10,566
    We hear the nightly pleading
    and the nightly refusals!
    1629
    01:46:10,783 --> 01:46:13,868
    Not everybody makes as much noise
    about love as you do.
    1630
    01:46:17,665 --> 01:46:21,248
    I never thought you would stoop
    to her level!
    1631
    01:46:21,336 --> 01:46:24,669
    You heard what Big Daddy said,
    "That girl's got life in her body."
    1632
    01:46:24,756 --> 01:46:26,464
    - That's a lie!
    - No.
    1633
    01:46:27,925 --> 01:46:30,499
    No, truth is something desperate,
    and Maggie's got it.
    1634
    01:46:30,595 --> 01:46:34,046
    Believe me, it is desperate,

    and she has got it.


    1635
    01:46:35,725 --> 01:46:38,642
    Why don't you say something, honey?
    1636
    01:46:39,187 --> 01:46:40,764
    All right, honey.
    1637
    01:46:40,980 --> 01:46:42,059
    Shut up!
    1638
    01:46:46,361 --> 01:46:47,523
    Yes?
    1639
    01:46:47,695 --> 01:46:49,355
    Come on up here.
    1640
    01:46:50,656 --> 01:46:51,736
    Yes, sir!
    1641
    01:47:01,668 --> 01:47:03,707
    That girl's got life in her, all right.
    1642
    01:47:06,798 --> 01:47:09,467
    Thank you for keeping still.
    1643
    01:47:09,801 --> 01:47:12,007
    For backing me up in my lie.
    1644
    01:47:14,138 --> 01:47:17,887
    We are through with lies
    and liars in this house.
    1645
    01:47:19,686 --> 01:47:20,931
    Lock the door.
