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!

James Dean will be in the movie!

-Damn it all to hell, Edna!

I can't tell anything...

His name fell out of my mouth

when I...I was thinking.

You never think!

You agreed I could tell,

you ruin everything!

I don't know why we let

you hang around with us.

She is younger than we

are and so damn dumb!

-Tell the rest!

-There is more?

The radio said they'll be

looking for people

to appear in the picture too.

Imagine being in a picture

show with James Dean!

Let us together tomorrow!
