it was my mama’s.
[father, spoken]
but that doesn’t make it yours. where did you get that?
[young vi, spoken]
your bedside drawer.
[father, spoken]
you got no business being in there! you know better.
[young vi, spoken]
what’s the big deal? you never talk about mama. i bet she was pretty. was she pretty, papa?
[father, spoken]
violet, please! there are things in those pages…you are too young for it.
[young vi, spoken]
but she was my age when she started writing in it.
[father, spoken]
it was different for her.
[young vi, spoken]
why, because she was pretty? would you have loved her if she looked like me?
[bus driver 2, spoken]
bus 322 to memphis, making all local stops, will be leaving the nashville station in 15 minutes. connections are available in memphis to all points west. p-ssengers reboarding bus 322 may reclaim your seats at any time.
[violet, spoken]
come to say goodbye?
[old lady, spoken]
why don’t you stay the night with me and my boy? harvey won’t mind. that’s him out there, by the desoto? you can wash, change clothes and catch a new bus tomorrow.
[violet, spoken]
no, thank you. i’m in a hurry to get to tulsa.
[old lady, spoken]
you got to overnight in memphis anyway, why not spend that night here?
[violet, spoken]
why not spend it in memphis?
[old lady, spoken]
a girl alone. a girl maybe feels she’s got to prove something? some people might try to take advantage
[violet, spoken]
next week, when i’m pretty, i hope i’ll have that problem. thank you, but no.
[old lady, spoken]
young lady, don’t you think you’re being unrealistic?
[violet, spoken]
excuse me?
[old lady, spoken]
i understand you maybe don’t have too many opportunities for… do you really think these soldiers are the answer?
[monty, spoken]
i must’a missed the question. did ya hear a question, flick?
[flick, spoken]
i don’t think i did.
[old lady, spoken]
what i mean is, i had looks once. in the end, it don’t amount to much.
[monty, spoken]
and you are living proof of that.
[old lady, spoken]
sticks and stones! sticks and stones.
[violet, spoken]
that was real nice of you, thanks.
[monty, spoken]
i was helping you get rid of her.
[violet, spoken]
you call that help? did you think i’d be impressed?
[monty, spoken]
why would i wanna impress you?
[flick, spoken]
why’nt you just leave her be, soldier.
[violet, spoken]
i think the old lady is full of it. looks don’t amount to much? tell that to ingrid bergman. she made a whole career off’a cheekbones. i could live with that. or elke sommer’s looks. i’d take that hair. twelve years of ugly ought’a be worth something.
[monty, spoken]
you gonna mix and match?
[violet, spoken]
i can’t tell you exactly how it’s gon’ happen. but the preacher says you have to envision how you want your healing to go.
[flick, spoken]
sounds like you got a plan.
