MAN ON PA: Next up, number 89, Jill Kinmont.

You can win the race.

You gonna win, all right?

Just be smooth, use your head,

hang onto that mountain, all right?

Officials ready? Ready.

Timer's ready? Yeah, ready.

We're ready for skier number 89.

MAN: Yes, we're ready. All right.

Ten seconds.

Ten seconds.

Five, four, three,

two, one, go!

(CHEERING)

(SCREAMING)

Mom, how do I look?

You look terrific, and we're late.

Oh, Mom, look at my hair.

Are you excited? Oh, who wouldn't be?

(LAUGHS)

Give it a little wind-blown look, a little careless, Mom.

Me, too.

Oh, my corset, my dumb corset.

Mom, would you button my jacket? All right.

Now, come on, we can't keep them waiting forever.

Are you nervous? A little bit.

PRESENTER: Ladies and gentlemen,

may I have your attention, please?

Thank you.

In 1955,

the very week she was featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated magazine,

as America's hope in the Winter Olympics,

Jill Kinmont skied down a mountain of disaster.

Paralyzed from the shoulders down,

technically, a quadriplegic,

she clawed and fought her way up another kind of mountain.

Up from total helplessness,

to what she is today.

One of our city's most respected educators,

a passionate crusader,

for the rights of the handicapped.

I would like to present this award to you, Jill Kinmont,

and proclaim you, Los Angeles Woman of the Year!

(ALL APPLAUDING)

(WHISTLING)

Thank you.

(WHISTLING CONTINUES)

Thank you, very much.

This is really an honor that I'll never forget.

Thank you, very much.

(ALL APPLAUDING)

Thank you.

Have you been doing your breathing exercises?

Yes.

Have you been drinking your four quarts of water a day?

Absolutely.

Have you been clamping and releasing

your catheter to help the bladder stay elastic?

Yes, to all the above.

And you can add to that,

the fact that I haven't been having

any nightmares for a long time.

I feel great.

And if I can't go to Bishop for my vacation,

I don't know what I'll do.

Well, I don't see why you can leave

Los Angeles for the summer.

But just keep in mind that

less than a year ago, you almost died.

An emotional jolt,

your resistance goes down,

you catch a cold and...

In other words,

have a fantastic time, but don't overdo it.

Thanks, Doctor.

JILL: Your grades did improve, remember that. It's the truth.

That's 'cause I really tried, Miss Kinmont.

(LAUGHING) Oh, sure.

Oh, that's not very nice.

(LAUGHING)

Bye, Miss Kinmont.

Don't get in any trouble now, Richard. I'll try not to.

Study.

I will. Bye, bye.

We should be in Bishop before sunset.

I'm ready.

What are you thinking?

Oh, it just hit me.

I spend about as much time in this chair as I have out of it.

I guess that makes you a pro.

I guess so.

Oh, Jill, don't forget the picnic tomorrow with Linda and A.J.

Oh, Mom, I'm so tired.

I'm sure they'll understand if I cancel.

Listen, they've been planning this for weeks.

Do you realize you haven't seen each other in a year?

Anyway, it'll be good for you.

Okay.

Dad and I always loved this place right here.

The meadows and the trees.

The mountain.

Look at it, Jill, isn't it beautiful with that cloud over it?

(HORSE NEIGHING)

This one is the landlord's.

And this one over here is ours.

What's he like?

The landlord? I don't know. I never met him.

I rented it from his sister-in-law.

Now, let's get unpacked.

(LAUGHING) And just look at us now.

We were going to be great skiers, huh?

One of us gets polio,

the second falls off a mountain.

And the third nearly kills herself at the Olympics.

Wonderful. Well, I feel like celebrating.

Come on, Linda, how about some more wine?

Okay.

Great. Mmm. Okay.

Just a little bit.

Oh, fine.

What'll we drink to this time?

(SIGHS) To life.

Mommy, Mommy, can we have some ice cream?

All right, get some money from your father.

Okay. And one scoop only!

(LAUGHS)

You know, you two have done okay.

Now all we have to do is marry you off.

Oh, no, Josie, and no more blind dates.

No offense.

And that goes for you, too, Linda.

Well, there's this new guy that's working with Dave...

No skiers!

I'm through with skiers!

In fact, I don't even wanna get married anymore.

You know, it's different nowadays.

A woman doesn't have to get married to be complete.

I'm very happy the way I am now.

The only thing I really need is some more wine.

JILL: It's so good to be home, Linda.

I love these mountains.

So do I.

I feel like I can breathe again after being in L.A. all winter.

Oh!

I really shouldn't have tried to come this way.

Why?

It's not that deep, we can make it.

Are you out of your mind? What if we get stuck?

Come on, Linda Mae.

Let's have a little fun!

Hit it!

What the hell. Here we go. All right, okay.

Hit it, Linda Mae. Okay.

(WHOOPING)

Hit it, Linda Mae.

(WHOOPING)

My God! (SCREAMING)

(ENGINE REVVING)

(ENGINE REVVING)

Come on, Linda Mae.

Oh.

Got any other great ideas?

Help.

BOTH: Help!

(BOTH LAUGHING)

BOTH: Help! Help!

(BOTH LAUGHING)

LINDA: Oh, two men.

The one on the right. Isn't he cute?

(LINDA LAUGHS)

(CLEARS THROAT)

Howdy.

Hi. Hi.

Uh, how long you been stuck here like that?

A week.

A week?

That's amazing.

What do you say we take you up to the cabin

and thaw you out in front of the fire place?

So what if we say "no"?

(SIGHING) Okay, we'll help you anyway.

(ALL LAUGHING)

Well, come on, Roy.

You just settle back, ladies.

It won't take but a second.

Okay, Jennifer, come on.

Hey, mule skinner.

Whoa, now, whoa.

You want my help or are you gonna do that all by yourself?

All right, all right.

Do you wanna ride? Fine! Fine!

Okay, Roy, you know... I don't wanna get wet.

Fine, I'll push. Good, you push. All right?

Fine, fine, fine, fine.

Okay, now, when Roy's ready,

count to three and just give it the gas.

All right?

(ENGINE REVVING)

Okay now, ready, Roy? Ready.

All right, ready? One, two, three, go!

Stop, stop!

Stop! Stop!

All right, now look.

(ROY LAUGHING)

What do you say you girls get out and push?

Oh, sure, sure, okay,

I'll, get out and help push.

But my friend... No, no, no.

You get out and push and I'll count to three

and we'll all do it together. Hold it. Hold it.

You drive. You count.

I'll push. Hey, you want me to pull, John?

What do you think, asshole?

(LAUGHING)

(ENGINE STARTING) Hang on, hang on.

ALL: One, two, three...

Go! Go!

Oh!

Oh, shit!

(ROY LAUGHING)

Well, what do you girls say about that fireplace now?

Sounds great to me.

I can't. I've already got a date, I'm sorry.

Besides, it's raining.

Come on, Linda, let's go.

Thanks for helping us.

(ROY LAUGHING)

Gary, can you make that more of a gradual incline, please?

Mr. McCoy said anything you'd like.

If you want an elevator, we'll build you one.

JOHN: Hello.

(CLEARS THROAT)

Name's, uh, John Boothe.

I don't wanna bother you but I just wanna make sure everything's okay.

I know you.

Have you dried off yet?

(LAUGHS) Yeah, I'm your landlord.

Well, since you're the landlord,

how about fixing the television set?

I'll go get a screwdriver, be right back.

Let's see this now.

There. That's great.

Okay now.

Well...

How... How did it happen? I mean...

I've been in this chair since I was 17.

That's right, yeah.

You never did get out of that jeep, did you?

Right.

Thanks for fixing the television set.

I sure like your house.

Well, you call me if you need something.

Anything.

I'm around most afternoons.

I will.

Take care of yourself.

Come on, kids.

Let's get some reading.

Okay, David, you wanna try the first one?

Okay.

K...

K...

K...

K...

Good.

K... Can...

Ba...

K...

Bake.

A...

Cake.

Good. Good.

Marlene, do you wanna try the same thing?

Bray...

Will...

S... Sell.

Sell.

Try it again.

S...

Say... A...

Say.

A sail. Right.

On...

The...

Lake. Lake.

Right. Very good.

Guess who drove by the Reservation today?

Who? John Boothe.

John Boothe? Our landlord.

You should see his truck.

The kids went nuts.

There's a great television special on tonight.

I cut out the review from the Times and put it on the set.

Howdy.

Hi.

(DOGS BARKING)

Chilly night.

You look real nice.

Guess you're going out.

Yep. Yeah, I'm going out.

Well, have a good time.

Yeah.

Yeah, I'll have a good time.

Yeah.

So long.

'Night.

(DOGS BARKING)

Why didn't you ask him in for coffee?

He had a date.

(COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYING)

(PEOPLE LAUGHING)

BARTENDER: Hi, John. What'll it be?

Oh, you can give me a beer. Beer.

(PEOPLE LAUGHING)

Here you go.

(LAUGHING) Oh, what a nit-wit.

Oh, can I wear your hat?

(CAR APPROACHING)

(WOMAN LAUGHING)

(CAR DOOR SHUTS)

(WOMAN LAUGHING)

WOMAN: Not there. (JOHN SHUSHING)

CAPTAIN: In a couple of minutes,

I'll mention a swarm of Kamikaze's is comin' in,

hell-bent on getting the transports.

They're not gonna get ol' Beachhead,

the leader, if you carry out my orders.

Now listen, men, do it easy,

just like a dry run and do it fast.

All you have to do is obey orders

and do as you were trained to do.

Use your hands, your experience and your training.

Ahead one third!

Right. Full rudder.

I'm cold, Mel.

Would you put your arm around me?

Would you put your hand on my shoulder?

CAPTAIN: That was close.

How's that?

Mel, please turn down the sound.

Hey, what's the matter?

I turn you off.

That's not true.

Please take me home, Mel.

But that's not true.

Would you just take me home, Mel?

We're good friends. We are great friends.

You're the only person that I can talk to openly.

We're great friends,

but you won't kiss me.

If you can't feel anything,

what difference does it make?

I can feel on my face.

I can feel on my shoulders!

Why do you think I wore this dress tonight

when it's so cold?

Please take me home, Mel.

Uh-uh.

I'm gonna kiss you.

No.

Yeah, I'm gonna kiss you. No.

Yeah. No.

No. No. No!

(SOBBING)

No. No. Oh, no.

Wake up. Jill, wake up!

(GASPING)

Jill, wake up.

You're dreaming. It's a dream.

Just a head, without a body!

And then the desert, and there's quicksand.

(TALKING GIBBERISH)

Jill. (GIBBERISH)

Wake up. It's a dream.

Somebody hear me... (SHUSHING)

It's a dream. Honey girl.

(GASPING)

Shh! Jill.

Jill. Jill.

(GASPING) Jill.

(SOBBING)

Jill, my poor baby. (GASPING)

It's just a dream.

(SOBBING) It's just a dream.

Shh. That's it. Take a breath.

That's it. That's a girl.

That's a girl. That's a girl.

That's a good girl. That's right.

It's just a dream. It's just a dream.

(SHUSHING)

(SIGHING)

(WHISPERING) There we are.

(SHUSHING)

There we are.

Do you want me to stay in here until you fall asleep?

No, I'm okay, now.

I'm okay, now.

You sure?

Yeah.

Should I leave the light on?

Turn it off.

What happens when you die?

What?

I'm not gonna die.

Everybody dies.

Everybody.

I'm...

I'm not going to discuss this with you now.

Not with you upset this way.

Then when are we going to discuss it, Mother?

When do you wanna talk about it?

(SIGHS)

When, Mother?

When?

When, Mom?

Hi. CHILDREN: Hi, Jill.

Are you gonna come along with us? No.

No, no, I can't ride a mule.

No, but I'll meet you all back at the Reservation.

All right.

(CAR HONKING) Hey, Joe.

Hey, John.

All right kids, come on. Let's go.

Come on. Follow me. Come on.

Okay, kids, let's move them out.

Come on. Come on.

Hi, John. Giddy-up.

Oh, take it easy. Take it easy. Take it easy.

Let's go.

So...

What are you doing way out here?

Oh, my family owns and runs this pack outfit.

Is that right?

Any discounts for family friends?

I'm sure we can work something out.

You're that famous skier, aren't you?

How did you know that?

Oh, 'cause I read that book about you.

Are you a skier?

Me? No, never.

How nice.

Well, what's that supposed to mean?

I don't know.

(LAUGHS)

Jill, uh... Miss Kinmont,

I seem all tongue-tied and dumb.

Well, it's because I never talked to a...

You know...

Well, you know...

A celebrity.

(BOTH LAUGHING)

I'm no celebrity!

You tell my mom that, hmm?

See, she's the one standing in the doorway over there.

John, look over there.

Your mother?

Mmm-hmm.

Well I gotta go back to work and pick up some stuff.

So it's been real nice seeing you.

It's been nice.

It's been real nice.

So long.

I use to spend more time with these.

But I get around great with my chair,

so I guess, I get lazy.

You still doing all your exercises?

Oh, more than ever.

Good.

How's your landlord?

Okay, I guess.

Why?

Why?

Come on, Jill.

Has he asked you out yet or hasn't he?

And don't give me any of that innocent look of yours, either.

Why is everybody assuming

I'm so anxious to go out with him?

I haven't seen him in two weeks.

Besides, I think he's already got a girlfriend.

Well, I don't think so.

I ran into his sister-in-law down at the market.

She said he went through a pretty bad divorce

about a year ago.

It really shook him up.

And he hasn't been going out much since.

Why start something?

Why not?

You got something better to do?

That's not the point, Josie.

Well, what is the point?

Look, I know you better than you think.

Lay off, Josie!

Jill, you're lonely!

You're so lonely you could scream!

And yet you're sitting here

with the oldest friend you have in the whole world

pretending that nothing's wrong! I'm leaving.

No, you're not! Not until I'm finished.

Josie, please let me go?

I know what I'm doing.

You might think you know what's best for me,

but you don't.

There's a lot you don't know.

There's a lot nobody knows.

Jill, has there been anyone since Dick?

What?

You know I date.

Hey, it's me. Josie.

No.

No wonder you're so careful.

Josie, I have to be.

Every man I've ever loved has died.

Dick,

Buddy,

my father.

Josie...

Sometimes...

(SOBBING) Sometimes it's so hard.

I know.

No, you don't know.

You don't know.

You've got full use of your hands.

You can make love.

You can have children.

You can feel, Josie.

Mom, would you get the door for me, please?

JILL: Hi.

Howdy? Hi.

What're you doing tonight?

Nothing.

I'm going downtown to watch the fireworks.

Wanna come along?

Sure.

I feel great tonight. How about you?

Oh, yeah, I feel pretty good.

Hey, slow down!

How fast do you walk anyway?

Oh, I can go up to five miles an hour on straight-away.

(CAR HONKING)

(FIREWORKS)

Look at that green one. Ooh!

So how many gears forward you say you got in that thing?

Well, it runs just like a bulldozer.

Oh, yeah. (LAUGHS)

Too bad.

(WHOOPING)

(PEOPLE CHEERING)

So, you were married?

Sure as hell don't wanna talk about that.

Anyway, it's the closest thing to a date I've had

since I was divorced a year or so ago.

Oh, come on, I don't believe that.

Believe it.

(PEOPLE CHEERING)

You know, I used to think you were kind of pretty,

stuck-up, sort of way.

Now, well, now you're just plain beautiful.

(LAUGHING)

Oh, I guess you hear that all the time, don't' you?

No.

No? No?

Well, I keep expecting to see guys come in,

drive to your house, take you out.

Whatever made you decide to be a truck driver?

Oh, why, the same reason

you chose teaching, I suppose.

I teach because I can't imagine doing anything else.

I love teaching.

Yeah.

Yeah that's about the same way I feel about driving a rig.

You never wanted to go on to school and study for a profession?

Me? Oh, never did.

You never wanted to leave Bishop?

See what the big city was like?

(LAUGHS) No. Never.

We're opposites.

(LAUGHING) Oh, I doubt that.

Will you take me with you one day?

What you mean, out on the road? Mmm-hmm.

Sure.

Would you open the door for me?

Certainly.

Thanks for a wonderful time.

Yeah, it was fun, wasn't it?

It sure was.

Well, goodnight.

Goodnight. Yeah, goodnight.

(CLEAR THROAT)

(TRUCK HORN HONKING)

(HONKING CONTINUED)

Mom, wake up!

Mother!

What is it? Are you all right?

I'm fine! I'm fine! Just get me up! Hurry!

Quick.

What does he think he's doing?

Doesn't he know what time it is?

Of course he does.

This is when he goes to work and he's taking me with him.

So, hurry. Quick, go tell him it'll take me

a few minutes to get ready and to wait.

(HONKING)

Hurry, Mom, I don't want him to go without me!

Carry me?

Sure.

Now, I don't wanna hurt you,

or pick you up in the wrong place.

So, if you...

I'm just gonna put one arm around your neck.

Here, hold this.

Okay, that's good.

You put one arm under my legs,

and the other arm on my back.

Okay.

Ready? Mmm-hmm.

One, two, three.

(SIGHS) Okay?

You did it.

Bye, Mom.

How am I doing?

Great.

There you go.

Hang on, hang on. Okay.

Oh!

(GRUNTS) Okay.

There. Hey, your hand all right? Yeah.

Just move it. (GRUNTS)

Great.

Were you surprised to see me so soon?

Glad!

Good. There.

(SIGHS)

(WHOOPS)

Oh, people ask me all the time,

"Aren't you lonely out there?"

Being all alone for so many hours on the road?

I just smile at them, 'cause I know.

That's why I love it so much.

What are we delivering?

We're gonna pick up some crude oil

this side of Tonopah, Nevada.

John.

JOHN: Oh, hell, will you look at that?

Well, I guess I'm gonna go out,

down there and see if I can get her outta that wire.

Sure hope she doesn't kick my brains out in the process.

You watch out.

Whoa, baby. Whoa, ho. Ho, ho.

Ho, ho. Ho, now. Ho, baby.

Ho, baby. Ho.

Ho, honey. Ho, ho.

Hang on.

Ho, ho. Hang on.

Hang on. Hang on.

Ho, baby, ho.

Ho.

Ho, now. Hey, that's good.

Let me get this out of you, hmm?

Go on.

Did you see the way she looked at me? Sure did.

Sure was something.

(EXHALES)

You sure are something.

(ENGINE STARTS)

You don't mind if I introduce you to my folks

before I drop you off, do you?

Of course not. I'd love to.

My family pioneered this whole valley.

Your family owns all this land? Oh, no.

We lease it from the city of Los Angeles, all 400 acres here.

Whoo.

It's beautiful.

(BRAKES SCREECHING)

JOHN: Mom, Dad, this is, this is Jill.

Hello.

Hi, Jill. Hi.

It's a lovely day, isn't it?

I'll get us something to drink, honey.

Good.

John, would you go in with your father?

I wanna ask your mom something.

(DOOR OPENING)

Mrs. Boothe, would you please help me with something, fast?

Oh, do I have to lift you? No.

No, just look under my skirt.

You know, I could have helped you with that back there.

You mean you saw that?

Yeah.

Boy, I sure had a wonderful day.

So have I.

(COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYING)

Oh, John, wait. Is my corset showing?

Corset? Mmm-hmm.

No, everything looks okay.

Oh, would you cross my ankles?

There we go. Okay?

Okay. (SIGHS)

Now, I'm warning you...

No flirting with my brother.

No flirting with anybody.

Do you hear? Whatever you say. (LAUGHS)

(INDISTINCT CHATTERING)

(CLAPPING AND CHEERING)

Hey, hello, big mule skinner.

You okay? Yes.

How you doing? All right.

Hello, there, young lady.

Bev.

Hi, Jill, I'm Bev. Hi, Bev.

You remember Roy? Don't you?

(LAUGHING) Of course I do.

Dumb mules. (LAUGHING)

Uh, listen, what are you, uh,

what are you folks drinking?

Beer. Beer, Coors will be fine.

Hey, Alice, bring us two Coors.

Uh, folks, I'm sorry,

but I can't let you sit here.

The lady's chair sticks out too far and people can't get past.

Alice, what are you talking about?

There's plenty of room over there.

It's a fire law.

Can we just move to another table, John? Sure.

Come on. Come on, Roy, let's move to another table.

Yeah, sure, we don't mind moving. Come on, Roy.

ALICE: I'll take these drinks. Just follow me.

No, just, just wait a minute.

I mean, just wait a minute!

Hey, John, I've seen them do this sort of thing before.

JOHN: Do what before, Roy?

John, can we just go, please?

Please?

Okay.

Come on, we're going!

Excuse us.

Well, come on, Beverly, we're going with them! No, no, stay, Roy.

Stay and we'll do it some other time.

Oh, now, Alice, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, too.

Roy, don't make a scene, you're embarrassing me.

(SIGHS)

It isn't true about those fire laws, is it?

Of course, it is.

Why else would they want us to move?

Jill...

I love you, Jill.

I love you, too.

Come here.

(INDISTINCT TALKING)

You want me to take over?

No, I'm fine.

Uh, here.

Oh, John. It's so beautiful.

What'd you say you wanted?

Two bottles of cranberry juice.

My latest cure-all.

How is John?

Okay, I guess. He's been gone this last week.

Comes home tomorrow.

Are things still good with the both of you?

I like him a lot.

But he's younger than I am.

And he doesn't have the slightest bit of interest

in anything I'm interested in.

Not books. Not plays. Not concerts.

And he's so shy around people.

Sometimes, it's embarrassing.

How does he kiss? How does he kiss? And his opinions...

Why are you pulling away from John like this?

I'm not pulling away.

I'm looking at it sensibly, the way I have to.

I don't understand.

It's not important.

It is to me!

Okay.

One day, when he gets over being destroyed by his first marriage,

he's gonna want somebody

that could do more than just keep him company.

I don't believe that. I do.

Oh, Jill, please don't lose this chance.

Please don't...

I owe everything I am to you.

And I can't stand to watch you do this to yourself.

What are you talking about?

(SIGHS)

If it hadn't been for your accident,

Dave McCoy wouldn't have had time for me.

I wouldn't have made it to the Olympics.

I wouldn't be the person I am.

Linda, that is ridiculous.

No, it's not, it's true.

And I can't...

Don't you see, you're doing the same thing

you did the first time we met the guy.

LINDA: I've seen you do it with other men.

You run before you even give it a chance to work.

(SOBS) Okay! Okay!

I don't know what I'm doing.

I don't know what really is real.

I think I love him.

I think he loves me, and I know I don't want to lose him.

But I know something's gonna happen.

I know it!

I just know it!

(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING)

Johnny, why do you like me?

I can't explain something like that.

I mean, you could have anybody.

I like taking care of you.

Want another strawberry? (LAUGHING)

No, thank you. I will.

Are you ever gonna tell me about your wife?

I'm sorry.

You're opposites and I think that's all I have to say.

And anyway...

I don't have to prove a damn thing with you.

Am I enough for you, Johnny?

Sure. You give me everything I want. That's the truth.

Jill, I got an idea.

Yeah?

What do you say we go away for a couple weeks?

And see how it goes.

Maybe drive up to Canada and, uh...

Do a little camping out and fishing.

Just the two of us.

Oh, I don't know.

I don't know.

What do you mean, you don't know? What's the matter?

Well, what do you say we just wait a whole lot longer

before we talk about going away?

Why?

Because you just don't know how hard it is to take care of me.

That's why I wanna do it, see?

So we can find out.

I don't wanna talk about it anymore.

It's just too soon. It's just too soon, Johnny.

Jill...

Come on, look at me.

No.

Jill, come here.

Come here.

Come on. (GRUNTS)

Now I want you to tell me, what's the matter.

Hmm? What's wrong?

You just don't understand, do you?

No.

Well, I haven't had a boyfriend since Buek, and...

And I didn't even let him get as close as you to me.

And... I just can't handle it.

It's happening too fast and you're pushing me...

And I'm afraid. I'm afraid! But I haven't... Everything's okay.

I'm frightened, Johnny. I'm frightened!

Don't be frightened.

It's okay. I'm frightened, Johnny. I'm frightened.

It's okay. (SOBS) Please, don't rush me. Please.

I won't rush you. It's okay.

But don't be frightened.

Good morning, Mom.

I know you're awake, I can hear you in there with your coffee.

It's tea.

Mom, please get me up.

In a minute. I'm in the middle of reading something.

Guess what, Mom.

Yesterday, John asked me

if I wanted to go on a vacation with him.

What do you think about getting rid of me for a couple of weeks?

You haven't answered me yet.

You're teasing me, aren't you?

You couldn't go without me, and you know it.

Wrong!

Well, I don't know. I'll have to think about it.

Oh, June, I wasn't asking for your permission.

You've decided!

Not yet.

Be realistic.

How can you do it? You need help.

I'm the only person who's ever really taken care of you.

I'm the only person who knows all you're little...

Your little twerks.

How fast your temperature can soar,

how to bathe you.

Even your father never took care of you that way.

You're just as afraid of losing me,

as I am of losing you.

Yes, of course.

Mother...

Do you ever wish I died in that accident?

Oh, Jill.

Don't ever say that.

Then don't let me do to you what I did to Daddy.

Take a vacation.

Think of yourself for a change!

Well, do it!

A couple of weeks isn't all that long.

I'll be okay.

Goodbye, darling.

Take care of yourself. I'll kiss Bob for you.

JILL: How soon do we get to Reno?

About three hours.

Three hours?

Yeah.

CROUPIER: Coming' out. Come on, get 'em down.

Just throw your bets down. Coming' out.

I want you to come back.

Big seven! Big seven!

You like these... Mmm!

She likes 'em, hear? All right.

Take it down there. Throw it against the line.

The big seven.

Ready, look out!

CROWD: Hey! Hey!

(CROWD CHEERING)

All right. Okay, we'll put it all on 11.

(INDISTINCT TALKING)

Coming' out. Get 'em all down.

(INDISTINCT TALKING)

Eleven, eleven and eight.

Mmm, love these hands.

Come back, big 11.

Here we go. Ready?

CROUPIER: Here we go!

(CHEERING)

All right, fill it up. We're going'. That's it.

You'll let me know...

When you need help out of your clothes, won't you?

Whenever.

What's that little smile for?

Huh?

Here, let me put my arms around you.

(GRUNTS)

(BOTH LAUGHING)

(GRUNTS)

Mmm. You're shaking.

Yeah. I am, huh?

Mmm-hmm.

I guess I am.

You're so gentle.

I like that the most.

You're so loving, Jill.

Well, I guess it's exciting.

(LAUGHING)

John.

I've never been made love to before.

Johnny?

Yeah?

Make love to me.

Right now, I feel like I made love.

Like, it must be for everybody...

Afterwards.

I'm so happy.

(EXHALES DEEPLY)

Johnny, I'm awake.

Be with you in a minute.

I wanna get up, too.

I haven't had my coffee yet.

Mr. Boothe, I'm not in the habit of waiting for someone to get me up.

So, would you get your butt in here right now?

I haven't had my coffee yet!

Some days I really don't like you.

Well, that's just tough, honey,

because I don't move until I've had my coffee.

I don't hear, l don't think.

I don't see.

I can barely breathe till I've had my coffee.

You got that straight?

Hey, you. Hey!

Did you really get away with all those stunts all these years?

Yes, I have.

(LAUGHING) Well, with me, you won't.

What are you, a tough guy?

Yeah.

That's me, tough guy.

Hey.

Hey, oh, I got some ashes on you.

Well, what do you want first, this morning, kiss or coffee?

Oh, definitely a kiss.

I mean, I can't move without a kiss.

I can't breathe without a kiss.

I can't hear without a kiss.

Good morning.

You're my tough guy?

Yeah.

(LAUGHING)

John, I've... Oh, my God!

Okay, put it back. Put it back.

Put it in reverse. Now in reverse.

No, try more. I'm in reverse.

Okay, try... Wait, wait, try forward.

Nothing's happening.

Wait, okay. Try reverse.

Ow! Ow! Oh!

You all right?

(GROANS) That was on my foot.

We're stuck! Oh, well, brilliant! That's brilliant!

John, what are we gonna do?

I hate getting stuck anywhere!

And the tides coming in, John.

What are we gonna do? Yeah, I can see that.

I can see that. Okay. Okay.

Uh, I'm gonna move you up by that rock up there.

Ready? Oh, damn!

God!

How do you like it so far?

Just sit down here and shut up.

I'll be right back.

Oh!

John!

John!

Johnny!

MAN: What happened? WOMAN: Maybe she's on drugs.

Johnny! Does anybody know her?

John!

Johnny! I'm here! Here I am!

Johnny! Johnny! Yeah!

Ah! It's okay.

(SOBBING) It's okay! It's okay.

It's all right. Everything's fine.

Don't leave me! Don't leave me! Oh! Oh!

Oh, my God!

* When you know

* The love is right

* You gather dream bouquets

* And one or two

* Will drift along with you

* Through watercolor days

* When time is warm

* And meadow sweet

* Like sunlight

* Through the trees

* The clouds go by

* Just poems in the sky

* On whisper days

* Like this

* When summer smiles

* On everything you do

* It's time to say Watch this!

* I love I want you to be serious, Jill.

Just be serious.

I'll be serious. I'll be serious. * You

JILL: (LAUGHING) Oh!

* The clouds go by

* Just poems in the sky

* On whisper days like this

* When summer smiles

* On everything you do

* It's time to say

Come on.

* I love you

All right. Are you ready for this?

Hmm?

Oh! Here we go!

Oh!

I can't believe it. We're gonna make it.

Oh... Oh... Well, uh!

Was there ever any doubt?

Huh? My Hercules!

Oh, John, it's so beautiful!

It's gorgeous! Are you all right?

Well, what do you think?

What do you think?

I think we should get married.

Listen, I have to work tomorrow,

so I won't be able to see you till about 3:30 or so.

Oh, I'll miss you so. I'll see you.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking.

Mom! (LAUGHING) Honey, girl!

Oh!

(LAUGHING)

Bye, Mom.

What did he call me?

Oh, Mom, we had the most terrific time.

And he asked me to marry him.

And you said yes?

No, but I'm going to.

Welcome back, ol' buddy. Bill.

How are the winds over the Pass? Oh, not so bad.

Get some sleep. See you this afternoon.

Mom, is that our phone?

Whoever it is will call back.

I don't want you catching a cold.

Mom?

Mom, would you dial John's sister-in-law for me?

Of course.

(THUNDER RUMBLING)

Beverly, this is Jill, have you heard from John?

No, nothing's wrong.

I just thought he'd be home a long time ago.

Thanks.

(RADIO STATIC SOUNDING)

RADIO ANNOUNCER: A Bishop trucker was involved in a fatal accident.

Turn it back.

One of many on U.S., number six, near Tonopah, Nevada.

The driver was taken to Nigh General Hospital

and pronounced dead on arrival.

His name is being withheld

until next of kin have been notified.

(SOBBING) No!

Hello? Hello?

JILL: Okay, I can tell you now.

I love you.

And I wanna marry you.

I'm gonna hold you to it.

Missouri Springs Airport?

Uh, say, I was wondering, if you could tell me when Dick Buek took off?

Two days ago?

JUNE: Jill.

It doesn't mean it's him.

Then why isn't he here yet?

I'm sure he just ran into bad weather.

Calling in a minute.

You know how he likes to scare people.

Well, it's a fact, he enjoys dramatic entrances.

(PHONE RINGING)

I am so sorry.

So, so sorry.

Yes, I'll... I'll tell her.

We all loved him very much.

(EXHALES) We'll miss him so much.

Honey girl, it's John. He's all right.

JOHN: Hi, Mom.

Some storm, wasn't it?

Hi, Jill, can I come in?

JUNE: Of course, you can come in, John.

What's going on?

There was an accident involving a truck near Tonopah...

I know, that's why I'm late getting back,

I had to stay and take care of the guy until the ambulance came.

JILL: Mother?

I am tired.

Would you please put me to bed?

She thought the guy who died in that truck was me, right?

Jill...

I never thought for a second you'd hear about that.

Mom, please!

June.

Jill...

I'm sorry I scared you like that.

John, I don't wanna talk to you.

I'm tired...

And I wanna think things over.

Think what over, hon?

John, please go home.

I scared you pretty bad, didn't I?

I am all right.

I'm just tired.

I'll talk to you tomorrow.

Okay.

I'll talk to you tomorrow.

(SIGHS)

JOHN: It's the closest thing to a date I've had

since I was divorced a year or so ago.

(WOMAN LAUGHING)

No, nobody wanna marry you.

Honey, look who's here, Dick Buek.

I wanna, uh, introduce you to my fiancee.

Ah!

Jill.

Aren't you gonna walk?

No.

I'm never gonna walk.

Howdy, Mom.

She's sick, John. June, uh, excuse me.

I think that ought to do it.

I gave her a mild sedation.

She'll probably sleep into the night.

If there's any slight indication of a recurrence, I want you to call me.

Hmm?

Thank you, Doctor.

What happened?

How sick is she?

She woke up in the middle of the night with a temperature.

The last few hours she's been having trouble breathing.

Why? Oh, John.

She's much more fragile then you realize.

Physically, psychologically.

Sometimes without any warning.

I wanna see her. Not now.

When she's better.

JILL: Every man I've ever loved has died.

Dick,

Buddy,

my father.

MINISTER: The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures.

He leadeth me beside the still waters.

He restoreth my soul.

He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness...

Here we go, honey girl. Here we go.

MINISTER: Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,

I will fear no evil for thou art with me,

thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me

in the presence of mine enemies...

Hi!

Glad to see you feelin' better.

I'm glad you're here.

I have something I've been wanting to tell you.

I'm going back to Los Angeles.

I was kidding myself that I could live up here.

What about us?

I don't know.

Maybe I was just kidding myself about that, too.

Jill, what's going on?

I had no control over that accident!

It isn't you.

It's me.

Why are you so eager to write us off?

We're opposites, John.

And sooner or later our differences would just tear us apart.

Well, what makes you so sure?

Since when did you start seeing the negative things?

What happened, Jill?

You're a great guy, Johnny.

And I had a wonderful summer.

But summer's over, and it's time to go back to work.

How dare you? I said, how dare you?

If you raise your voice to me, I'm not going to listen.

To imply,

or say we had to call it a summer romance.

Well, honey, that's one thing you don't have any right to do!

I am going in. Oh, no, you're not.

You're going to sit here and listen to what I have to say

even if it's the last time I talk to you.

Now, whatever it is you're doing, lady...

You're wrong to throw what you and I have together away.

And whatever excuse you wanna...

Whatever excuse you wanna give it,

I don't buy it.

Because I know you love me.

You see, you couldn't fool me about something like that.

Please let me through.

Would you, Jill?

If I don't see you before we go...

I wanna thank you!

JOHN: To hell with you!

To hell with all of you!

Go to hell, lady!

You enjoy being alone so much...

That's fine! Who am I to say a goddamn thing?

I mean, who needs it?

Who needs it?

I left the keys on the kitchen table, John.

Thank you.

I just want to thank you for everything you did for her.

June, you know, you don't have to thank me

for anything, really.

I'm sorry.

Mom, let's go.

Better get on your horse, Mom, summers over.

What did you say to him?

Nothing. I just thanked him.

(CAR DOORS CLOSING)

(CAR ENGINE STARTING)

He's following us.

Keep driving.

You better goddamn pull over and talk to me. God damn it!

JILL: Don't stop, Mom.

Look, I'm not Dick Buek.

I'm not gonna die doing loop the loops in the Donner Pass.

Pull over, Mom!

JILL: How dare you?

How dare you, you hick.

That's a lie!

He was coming to my birthday party.

JOHN: I was only trying to get you to pull over and stop!

You hick, I wish I could hit you!

You liar! You liar! Look out!

(SOBBING)

I hate you! I hate you!

Why?

Why? You had no right!

You had no right.

No right to what? To almost die?

When it comes so close to doing it to you again.

Yes.

Yes. Jill, I said I'm sorry.

What more do you want me to say?

I don't want you to say anything.

I just wanna go.

I have to go.

But why?

Because I'll die the next time.

I know I will.

I came so close to it the other times.

After Dick, I went into pills!

After my father, it was worse.

I stopped wanting to teach.

I didn't even paint.

You have no idea how hard it was to wanna come back.

To find something, anything that mattered.

To come back for.

I love you!

But I can't have you!

(SOBBING) I can't have anybody!

Goodbye, Johnny!

What about me?

Don't leave me, Jill! (SOBS)

At least leave your door open.

I'll go down to that damn city if I have to.

I'll... I'll do anything not to give you up.

Johnny, please don't cry like that.

Please.

(SOBBING)

I need you, honey!

You don't need me!

You're whole!

You're normal!

You'll be fine!

You don't understand.

See, all my life, I've never had anybody.

I'm lonely. I've been so lonely.

Except with you.

Johnny, please come to me.

Johnny, please come here to me!

Please.

I'll never leave you.

I'll never leave you.
