Big Stone Gap Page #2

Synopsis: Nestled in the Appalachian Mountains of Virginia, the tiny town of Big Stone Gap is home to some of the most charming eccentrics in the state. Ave Maria Mulligan is the town's self-proclaimed spinster, a thirty-five year old pharmacist with a "mountain girl's body and a flat behind." She lives an amiable life with good friends and lots of hobbies until the fateful day in 1978 when she suddenly discovers that she's not who she always thought she was. Before she can blink, Ave's fielding marriage proposals, fighting off greedy family members, organizing a celebration for visiting celebrities, and planning the trip of a lifetime-a trip that could change her view of the world and her own place in it forever.

All right, just stop.

My teeth hurt.

Tayloe, learn your lines!

All right. Yes. Everybody,

thank you so very much!

Will you please leave

your costumes on the rack?

Hey y'all! We're officially

sold out for opening night!

(ALL CHEERING)

Where's Spec?

Right here.

IVA LOU:
This is bigger

than a four alarm fire!

I need you

real bad, Spec.

We're full up!

Order another keg.

Consider it done,

Iva Lou.

Long as I get

the first dance.

(WHISTLES)

SPEC:
You're the sexiest librarian

in four counties, Iva Lou!

(EXCLAIMS)

Okay, Sweet Sue,

you're on.

Come down the aisle. Up.

Up. Up.

(CHUCKLES)

lam going over to Carmine's for a burger.

You want to come?

Uh, not right now.

I have to run lines

with the star.

Uh, I know my lines.

Good job on the timing of that cue.

Thank you.

And I do suspect that little

Penny Coomer has a crush on you.

CHILD:
You're it!

Appears she's already

over me, ma'am.

Jack,honey!

(GRUNTS)

I swear, sometimes

we make music

like we belong

in the Grand Ole Opry.

Hardly puts me in the mind of Minnie

Pearl, you displaying that leotard.

Why, thank you.

Okay, Pearl. I don't care if

everybody goes home naked...

Ave. I need you

to come here.

You need to come with me.

You gotta get

Duke McMillan.

I'm staying late.

He knows CPR.

Darling, it's not a Rescue Squad run.

It's your mama.

Come on.

AVE MARIA:
No one worries

about you like your mother.

And when she's gone,

the world seems unsafe.

You can't turn to her anymore

and it changes your life

forever.

Hey, Miss Ave. You probably

don't remember me,

but my name's Bobby Dinsmore

from over on Skeens Ridge.

Well, sure I do.

I used to play the sax in the band.

Mmm-hmm.

Your mama made me

this here uniform,

'cause they didn't have one big

enough to fit me at the factory.

I bet you nobody knew

it was homemade.

Well, it still looks right

nice on you, Mr. Bobby.

All of you look right pretty,

as a matter of fact.

Since our almighty God has called our

sister, Fiammetta Onicelli Mulligan

from this life,

to himself,

we commit her body to the

earth from which it came.

Give her eternal rest,

O Lord,

and may your light

shine on her forever.

(SNIFFLES)

Don't cry, Fleets.

(SOBBING)

When are you gonna cry?

I can't.

Why would you put a rose

on your daddy's grave

after he treated you

like such dirt?

Maybe he'll do

something kind

and look out for Mama

when she gets there.

(HONKING)

I do not like that sign.

The N fell off.

My brother kept this

building pristine.

You've let the place

go to hell!

Why Aunt Alice, I can't

believe you haven't heard.

In honor of Mommy's memory,

Mutual's has officially

gone Italian.
