Yes, ma'am, how ya doin'?
Is this Rose Hill?
Good.
This is Ed Couch.
I'm Vesta Adcock's nephew.
I need to get up there
and see her,
but I'm gonna be late
'cause I'm lost out here.
We're off the Alabama interstate
but I don't know where.
Did you hear that?
What?
The train.
No, I didn't hear
no train.
Oh, nothin',
I guess.
Where's "Whistle Stop" on
the map? I can't find it.
Why did you tell me to
turn right 10 miles back there?
God, you got a negative
sense of direction, hon.
I'm sorry.
Oh, Ed, your aunt's gonna be
so disappointed we're late.
I know she's been looking forward
to this visit all week long.
Bless her sweet,
little ol' heart.
this afternoon?
Remember us?
Don't you look pretty!
We brought you something.
Let me look at
you.
Don't you know Evelyn loves you?
Well, honey, I guess it'd be
better if you wait out here for me.
I'll get all this stuff.
Well, if you think it's best.
Yeah, I do this time.
Okay?
Have a nice day,
Aunt Vesta.
Don't you pitch a fit like that!
Did you know
they took my gallbladder out?
No, I didn't.
Oh, yes. Still
in the hospital in a jar.
I guess that's where
they keep 'em.
I guess.
When I was
in the hospital,
the nurse gave me one of them
Fleet enemas they're so fond of.
Mrs. Cleo Threadgoode,
imagine that.
Actually,
everybody calls me Ninny.
'Course I'm
just visitin' here.
Did you ever have
one of them Fleet enemas?
Um, well?
No.
You'd remember it.
Me and my friend, Mrs. Otis,
come from Whistle Stop.
You ever been
to Whistle Stop?
Why, yes. I just
passed by there today.
She's lived down the street
from me for 30 years or more.
After her son died,
her daughter-in-law had a fit for
her to come live at the nursing home.
They asked me to come
and be her roommate.
Mrs. Otis don't know it, but I'm going
home just soon as she gets settled in good.
Does the name "Idgie
Threadgoode" ring a bell?
Um, no, ma'am.
I don't think so.
You'd remember her.
You see, I was practically
adopted by the Threadgoode family.
I married her brother,
Cleo. Oh, uh-huh.
Idgie and her friend, Ruth,
ran the Whistle Stop Cafe.
Oh.
Idgie was a character,
all right.
But how anybody
could've thought...
she murdered that man
is beyond me.
I beg your pardon?
You sit and relax a while.
I'll tell you all about it.
Oh, now, let's see.
I 'member the day they pulled
that truck up out of the river.
That same rainy, summer day...
Idgie Threadgoode was arrested for
the murder of the owner of that truck,
Frank Bennett.
I guess,
to understand Idgie,
you'd have to start way back
with her brother, Buddy.
Idgie was Buddy's pet
from the day she was born.
I 'member the day we was all
gettin'ready for Leona's weddin'.
The war had just ended,
the Great one,
you know.
begin in the Threadgoode house.
Sipsey, honey, is that finished?
Buddy, get dressed, honey. Mama?
Leona, what is it?
Idgie's upstairs
in her room...
and says she won't come out
as long as she lives.
She is gonna ruin my weddin'! Shh.
Leona, you're gonna be
the most beautiful bride.
Of course she is, Papa.
Your papa has spent every last
nickel he has just to make you happy.
Now, you try to act
a little grateful, young lady.
Imogene Louise Threadgoode!
This is your mama!
You come down here right now.
Do you hear me?
Buddy, fetch her. She'll listen
to you. Come on down, little bit.
There's no firin'
squad waitin' for you.
Ohh! Come on,
honey. Let us see you.
You look so pretty.
I see London, I see... Hush!
Julian, hush.
Come ahead, sweetheart.
You look awful nice in that.
Mama!
You look fine.
She looks like a monkey.
Julian, stop it
right this second!
Take it back!
Take it back! Idgie, hey!
I told you she
was gonna ruin my weddin'!
Idgie, get up.
Take it back!
Take it back!
I'll get you for this.
No, Buddy.
We have to be careful
when she's dressing up.
She's just a pain!
Leona, will you
stop shrieking!
This is your
weddin'day!
Looks like you got
yourself up a tree, little bit.
I'm sick of
people makin' fun of me.
So you're gonna stay up here
all day long.
Yep.
The hell with them.
Who wants to wear
I ever tell you about
the oysters? Oysters?
I tell you about the oysters? No.
Think about the millions
of oysters lyin'around the ocean.
Then one day...
and he says,
that one different."
You know what he does?
He puts a little
piece of sand in it.
Guess what it can do that
the others can't. What?
It can make
a beautiful pearl.
What if God
made a mistake?
Well, the way I figure it,
I mean, he made sure
we got together.
He made sure you got
the best looking,
most charmin' brother
in the world...
who's gonna beat you to the
chocolate cake. You will not.
Got you out of the tree,
didn't I?
Did not!
Into this estate,
