Infamous Page #2
by turning to men?
What if one of the people
you interview is the killer?
And what if he thinks you know?
He's already committed four murders,
Honey, is this your funny way of saying
- Doesn't it seem dangerous?
- Come with me, then.
I can't. I'm trying to write my book.
Well, then it's o sole mio, off I go!
- I don't want anything to happen to you.
- Honey, I'm indestructible.
- Much to everyone's regret.
- Not mine.
Come with me. Your book's all done.
Well, I am intrigued...
...but I want to get started on my new book
before Mockingbird comes out.
How near did you say the caretaker lived
to the main house?
Nelle grew up with him in Alabama.
She based the other little boy in
To Kill Mockingbird on Truman.
Aptly enough, she named the child Dill.
People always mention his effervescence...
...but one must remember that at the center
of any bright flame...
...there's always that little touch of blue.
at an early age...
...leaving him with elderly relations
in my town.
And Truman always disguised his shame
over the absence of his parents...
...with grand tales
of adventure and glory.
"My daddy can't be here,
he's an aviator."
"My mother's a photographic subject,
but they're coming for me"...
"They're coming for me."
Every year at Christmas...
...our elementary school did a pageant
through the center of town.
And one year, Truman wrote his parents
that he was the star of the pageant...
...though he was only
a snowflake like me.
But, no matter, it worked.
They wired him to say they'd take
the train from New orleans...
...and get there just in time
for the pageant. They even said...
...they'd stand right by the cannon
in the square so they could cheer him on.
and as we got closer to that cannon...
...I could see him straining
to see his parents.
When we got to that cannon,
he stopped...
...forgetting we were supposed
to be marching in time to the music.
He stopped and he stared.
They had not come.
I thought for a minute he might break.
And then he threw his arms up in the air...
...and twirled himself all the way over.
A cartwheel.
And then again. And again...
...all the way down the street...
...till his tears were gone.
Truman adored Nelle.
She and Jack were just about
his only non-society friends.
I will say it stung him
when she won the Pulitzer.
He might not have minded her winning one,
but only if he'd already won two.
I've always been interested in crime.
Daddy was a lawyer, and sister too.
I studied the law as well...
