00:15:29,128 --> 00:15:30,794
But you'll have to run
The spotlight.
351
00:15:30,796 --> 00:15:32,563
-but paul knows the cues!
I can't --
352
00:15:32,565 --> 00:15:34,865
-there's no time. You'll just,
Uh, have do the best you can.
353
00:15:34,867 --> 00:15:37,000
-wait.
Mr. Weber!
354

[ door closes ]
355
00:15:39,038 --> 00:15:40,037
-great.
356
00:15:40,039 --> 00:15:41,405
paul had been stricken
357
00:15:41,407 --> 00:15:43,807
with the world'sfirst documented case
358
00:15:43,809 --> 00:15:45,275
of backstage fright,
359
00:15:45,277 --> 00:15:47,711
and I had to pick upthe pieces --
360
00:15:47,713 --> 00:15:50,981
in the dark.
361
00:15:57,823 --> 00:16:01,091
-this play is called "Our town."
362
00:16:01,093 --> 00:16:04,128
[ applause ]
363
00:16:06,232 --> 00:16:09,599
Well, I'd better show you
How our town lies.
364
00:16:09,601 --> 00:16:12,470
-I didn't even knowhow this thing worked.
365
00:16:12,472 --> 00:16:15,305
[ squeaking ]
366
00:16:15,307 --> 00:16:18,142
-up there is main street.
367
00:16:19,979 --> 00:16:22,980
Uh, that -- that is, up there.
368
00:16:22,982 --> 00:16:24,148
-it was horrible.
369
00:16:24,150 --> 00:16:25,849
I could feel my earsstarting to sweat.
370
00:16:25,851 --> 00:16:30,521
-way back there
Is the railway station.
371
00:16:30,523 --> 00:16:33,223
Tracks go that way.
372
00:16:37,697 --> 00:16:40,898
[ laughter ]
373
00:16:40,900 --> 00:16:45,836
-it was humiliating.I wanted to just walk away.
374
00:16:45,838 --> 00:16:49,840
-there are the children
Coming home from school already.
375
00:16:49,842 --> 00:16:51,308
-but then...
376
00:16:51,310 --> 00:16:54,178
-I can't, lois. I've got to
Go home and help my mother.
377
00:16:54,180 --> 00:16:55,379
I promised.
378
00:16:55,381 --> 00:16:57,414
-then I realizedI couldn't walk away.
379
00:16:57,416 --> 00:17:00,818
-emily. Walk simply.
Who do you think you are today?
380
00:17:00,820 --> 00:17:02,019
-papa, you're terrible.
381
00:17:02,021 --> 00:17:03,888
One minute you tell me
To stand up straight,
382
00:17:03,890 --> 00:17:05,622
And the next minute,
You call me names.
383
00:17:05,624 --> 00:17:07,858
I just don't listen to you.
384
00:17:07,860 --> 00:17:09,192
-golly.
385
00:17:09,194 --> 00:17:12,763
I never got a kiss
From such a great lady before.
386
00:17:12,765 --> 00:17:15,165
-she looked beautiful...
387
00:17:15,167 --> 00:17:17,768
and terrified.
388
00:17:19,705 --> 00:17:21,905
and I knew she needed me.
389
00:17:33,685 --> 00:17:35,252
those next few minutes
390
00:17:35,254 --> 00:17:37,621
seemed to lasta thousand years.
391
00:17:37,623 --> 00:17:40,691
every momentwas potential disaster.
392
00:17:40,693 --> 00:17:43,960
-why can't I stay for a while,
Just as I am?
393
00:17:43,962 --> 00:17:46,096
-we were both struggling.
394
00:17:47,099 --> 00:17:50,334
-don't you remember
What you used to say?
395
00:17:50,336 --> 00:17:53,404
All the time,
You used to say...
396
00:18:00,846 --> 00:18:04,181
-and thena weird thing happened.
397
00:18:04,183 --> 00:18:06,116
I was holding the lighton winnie
398
00:18:06,118 --> 00:18:08,352
when everything got very quiet.
399
00:18:11,990 --> 00:18:14,792
and I felt something.I don't know what it was.
400
00:18:14,794 --> 00:18:20,730
I felt like I was holdingher up with that light...
401
00:18:20,732 --> 00:18:24,168
that we were connectedby the light.
402
00:18:24,170 --> 00:18:27,037
and I wouldn't let her fall.
403
00:18:31,810 --> 00:18:32,942
-come on.
404
00:18:32,944 --> 00:18:34,944
Just keep going.
405
00:18:40,552 --> 00:18:42,719
-...That I was your girl.
406
00:18:42,721 --> 00:18:45,189
There must be lots of places
We can go.
407
00:18:45,191 --> 00:18:48,025
I'll work for you.
I can keep the house.
408
00:18:48,027 --> 00:18:51,395
-no matter what,I wouldn't let her fall.
409
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:56,567
-oh, mama, just look at me
For a moment
410
00:18:56,569 --> 00:18:58,101
As though you really saw me.
411
00:18:58,103 --> 00:19:00,471
-that night,I learned something
412
00:19:00,473 --> 00:19:03,807
about courage...and maybe about love.
413
00:19:03,809 --> 00:19:06,410
-mama, 14 years have gone by.
414
00:19:06,412 --> 00:19:07,377
I'm dead.
415
00:19:07,379 --> 00:19:09,813
You're a grandmother, mama.
416
00:19:12,418 --> 00:19:15,185
But just for a moment now,
We're all together --
417
00:19:15,187 --> 00:19:18,154
Mama, just for a moment,
Let's be happy.
418
00:19:18,156 --> 00:19:19,856
Let's look at one another.
419
00:19:24,230 --> 00:19:26,796
I can't.
I can't go on!
420
00:19:26,798 --> 00:19:29,132
It goes so fast.
421
00:19:29,134 --> 00:19:32,669
We don't have time
To look at one another.
422
00:19:32,671 --> 00:19:37,240
Take me back...
Up the hill to my grave.
423
00:19:37,242 --> 00:19:40,544
But first...
424
00:19:40,546 --> 00:19:42,546
Wait.
425
00:19:42,548 --> 00:19:45,816
One more look.

Goodbye, world.

Mama and papa.

Goodbye to clocks ticking...
432
00:20:07,339 --> 00:20:09,440
And mama's sunflowers...
433
00:20:09,442 --> 00:20:12,242
And food and coffee...
434
00:20:12,244 --> 00:20:14,177
And new, ironed dresses...
435
00:20:14,179 --> 00:20:18,248
And hot baths
And sleeping and waking up.
436
00:20:18,250 --> 00:20:22,820
Oh, earth, you're too wonderful
For anybody to realize you.
437
00:20:44,343 --> 00:20:47,911
Do any human beings ever realize
Life while they live it,
438
00:20:47,913 --> 00:20:50,213
Every, every minute?
439
00:20:51,449 --> 00:20:52,849
-no.
440
00:20:52,851 --> 00:20:55,119
The saints and poets, maybe.
441
00:20:55,121 --> 00:20:57,054
They do, some.

00:21:06,165 --> 00:21:07,998
-I'm ready to go back.

00:21:21,212 --> 00:21:23,980
-hmm.

You get a good rest, too.
Good night.

maybe we weren't evenvery good.
448
00:21:53,779 --> 00:21:56,379
the thing is, it didn't matter.
449
00:21:56,381 --> 00:21:57,981
we made it through.
450
00:22:01,653 --> 00:22:04,755
and the critics were kind.
451
00:22:09,495 --> 00:22:11,194
and a week later,
452
00:22:11,196 --> 00:22:14,497
mr. Cooper moved back inwith his family.
