Fried Green Tomatoes Page #3

she'd let near her,

and he watched over her

night and day.

You know,

a heart can be broken,

but it still keeps a-beatin'

Just the same.

Miss Idgie, you'll have

to keep this blanket on...

or you'll catch your death

of cold, you hear me now?

That's so sad.

Ah.

Would you like

one of these?

Oh, thank ya,

honey.

Evelyn?

Honey,

we gotta get goin'.

The Braves' game's

fixin' to start...

and you're gonna miss

your... thing.

Excuse me.

That's my husband, Ed.

Hi, ma'am.

How you doin'?

Um,

I can't believe

Buddy died.

Neither could I.

Oh, well, I enjoyed

talkin' to you, honey.

What's your name?

Evelyn...

Evelyn Couch.

I've got to go. You come

back and see me, you hear?

Okay.

Bye-bye.

First of all, I want you...

to truly

dedicate yourselves...

to finding little ways to

putting that magic, that spark...

back into your marriage.

When we think of

romance and marriage,

what is the first thought that

comes into your mind? Divorce!

Remember when counselors used to tell

you to wrap yourself in cellophane...

to put a little charge

into your marriage?

Do we really pay

for these lectures?

You can see,

it is truly up to you...

to put romance back

into your relationship.

Oh, yeah

Da-na-na

da-na-na-na

As I walk this land

of broken dreams

I have visions

of many things

Happiness

Hi, honey.

Is just an illusion

Evelyn,

have you gone insane?

My God,

people can see you!

What if I had been

the paperboy?

Get in there!

What are you

thinking about?

Evelyn?

Evelyn!

Oh.

You know, what we really need

instead of this baloney...

is an assertiveness training

class for Southern women.

But that's a contradiction

in terms, isn't it?

Especially you, sweetheart.

You're livin' in the Dark Ages.

The roots of love

grow all around

But the leaves

they come tumblin'down

Every day, heartaches

grow a little stronger

I can't stand this pain

much longer

Hi, honey. I need one of those. Hi!

Mmm, you smell good too.

I need one of these.

Oh, this looks good! Uh-huh.

Yes, indeedy.

Always movin'

but goin'nowhere

Indistinct]

Ed.

Why don't you come in

and sit down at the table...

and have dinner with me? I'm

sorry. The game's almost over.

I just want to see a little bit

of it. Why you so dressed up?

Honey, don't get in the way.

Scoot over a bit.

Ed?

If I'd answered the door

wearing only cellophane,

would you still be

watching the baseball game?

No, honey. I'd probably be

checking you into a looney bin.

Hi, sugar.

How's my dumplin'?
