20th MEETING OF THE DISCIPLES OF JAMES DEAN

Jimmy Dean?

Jimmy Dean!

Get back here to the 5 and Dime now, Jimmy Dean!

Jimmy Dean, you are there, I know you are.

JAMES DEAN - MYTH SURVIVE

Sorry I'm late, Juanita, but they were short handed

at the truck stop, so I helped out.

Should have known better to expect never to be on time.

You never have been for 20 years.

Won't be all surprised you end up being late

for your very own funeral.

I said it wasn't my fault.

Never is!

Did you see anything of Jimmy Dean, out there?

No, he was heading over to Luke Jacks,

last time I saw him.

When are you gonna to finish up with them decorations?

I'll put my crap up here

and get right back to it.

Better shake a leg.

Before anybody is gonna show up for that reunion,

they're gonna be showing up any time now.

I wouldn't hold my breath if I was you.

Mona get back yet? No, the bus is late.

God damn, Juanita, you're not going to turn that Jesus music,

I hope.

Watch your mouth!

I'm trying to get the weather news.

I give you the weather news.

118 degrees in the shade,

as if there is none of.

Same as it was that day before yesterday and last week and last month...

There is talk of a rain storm over near Odessa.

Oh bullshit, ain't rain there in 20 years, ain't going to.

Sorry I'm late, Juanita,

had to stop of at the truck stop

to pick up some thing.

I bet whatever it was, is wearing pants.

Mona and Joe her yet? Oh my God!

Joe's out back,

unpacking some them new magazines that just came in.

Mona must be held up in the storm.

I know, it's raining like hell out there.

Watch your mouth, young lady.

For crying out loud Juanita, this is 1955, not 1905.

Hell, everyone says "hell" now-a-days.

You ain't gonna be saying that while you're working here.

Is Sidney in there? Hey, Sidney!

Joe?

Bring up them new Photoplay magazine.

Hey, Sidney!

Hi, Joe!

Sissy in yet?

She is looking for Sydney, but he's asleep.

Hi, Juanita, sorry I'm late.

That's alright honey.

-Some storm out there? -Ain't that though.

Joe?

Where are them new Photoplay magazine?

-I haven't unpacked them yet. -Why?

You know I've been waiting for them.

There is something in there I think you're not gonna want to see.

What? What it is?

He is in love with someone.

No, he's not, believe me.

That Italian girl, Pier Angeli, she's already married.

- Hi. - Hi, Sissy, listen...

I heard you won yourself another one of them...trophy last night.

Yeah, you know what, I think I'm the best roller skater in the whole of Texas.

You look like you've eaten well.

-Juanita, make her stop. -Juanita, where's Sidney?

I want to talk to him about sponsorship in the roller skating championship next month.

The bible study club held a meeting late last night,

I don't bother to wake him up this morning.

-You mean bourbon club. -What was that?

Juanita you know what?

You should turn this on and liven this place.

Mona, Joe, come on out here!

They're playing our song

for the talent competition.

-I've up all night rehearsing! -He's got a face?

I know I am.

also I worked at dawn.

Everybody in their position.

And...

Jimmy Dean?

Jimmy Dean, is that you?

Who is that?

The sun is shining in my eyes and...

It's me, Stella May! And Edna Louise!

Sissy!

Sissy, come on out here!

It's Stella May and Edna Louise!

Edna, how long!

Oh, how are you!

Come on in here, and let me take a good look at you!

Sit down here, I'll get you an orange crush.

Our old home, old, old...

Juanita, God damn, you ain't change a bit in 20 years.

Stella May, you old slut!

I wanted to change my dress, but Stella arrived early from Dallas...

Edna, Edna...

Edna Louise, my God, look at you!

Edna, you got something in the oven girl?

Beg your pardon?

Oh, yes, my seventh. -7 kids.

Can you imagine anything more horrible?

Pay her no mind, Edna Louise.

It's so so wonderful to see you! -You too!

Hey, hey, look what I found in my attic.

What?

-Ain't it a hoot! -Oh my God!

Our old club jacket!

Can you believe it, we actually use to wear this?

I was looking for mine, and I couldn't find it any place.

I don't know where mine is.

Look at you, I can't believe you.

I do not believe you he had 7 children!

I did.

Lack of rain just about dried us out.

Good lord!

-Sissy... -Look at this.

Sissy!

-God damn it, you look just as fabulous! -Thank you.

Those boobs of yours... I'll kill for them boobs.

Wouldn't you, Edna?

-Ones I have... Hey, what about me?

Well, you like a million bucks. -Million and a half.

My Merl just brought in another one.

That man can smell that oil...

Look everybody, a red gumball!

That's my favorite color.

My fortune in the newspaper said today was my lucky day.

And it is.

Your lucky day will come when you get them tubes tied.

Don't pay her no mind.

Come on, I have to finish the decoration, come help me.

Hey...

where's Mona anyway? -She ain't back yet.

Back from where? -Marfa.

She went of to Marfa this weekend

to get them others in the picture show.

Her bus is nearly two hours late,

and I'm starting to get worried.

Hey, I got me an idea.

Since Mona ain't here yet,

get over to to ol' Robert E Lee high school?

I'd love to show myself off to them old teachers.

-What do you think? -They all have died.

Hell, there must be somebody left out there after 20 years

to remember who I was.

McGuire Sisters, got anything livelier than this?

Liveliest place in town is the graveyard.

-For you, it always was. -Stop it.

Come on, what do you say? -No, you and Edna Louise go.

I'm trying to get this place look like something special.

Come on, Edna.

Christ, it is so damn hot here!

Listen, listen.

Don't say nothing to Mona us being here,

I want to surprise her.

This is gonna be an awesome, hootenanny!

Come on, Edna! -I want to change my dress...

Later!

I want to go out, see if I really missed this town or not.

Hey, we'll stop over at Luigi's Taco Grotto,

get ourselves a Dr Pepper like we use to.

I'm not going to Luigi's with you, my mother says not...

Mona is gonna be real please and surprise to see them again.

You think anybody else is gonna show up for this thing?

My heart is dead set on all of them showing up,

we'll have to wait and see I guess.

Sissy, have you heard the news? It is absolutely breathtaking!

-You all agree I could tell! -Tell what?

Elizabeth Taylor and Rock Hudson are gonna be here!

-Stop it! -Here in McCarthy, Texas?

Not exactly, over at Marfa.

-It's only 62 miles from here! -Wow!

-What are they coming for? -They're coming to make a movie.

You hush up Edna Louise, I'm telling not you!

They are coming to make a picture show, and the radio says it's about a...

A monster movie!

Will it be like "Creature from the Black Lagoon"?

Died of fear in that movie!

Edna Louise, just act dumb.

Mona?

Mona, you're gonna fall over when you know who else is coming.

-Tab Hunter! -No!

God damn it, tell me who it is! -James Dean!
