IT'S BEAUTIFUL, BUD.
WHAT'S WRONG?
NO, IT'S JUST...
I'LL NEVER BE ABLE TO DO THAT.
WELL, YOU JUST STARTED. I MEAN, YOU CAN'T DO IT NOW.
NO, NO, NO, NO. THAT'S NOT IT.
JUST WHERE AM I GONNA SEE COLORS LIKE THAT?
MUST BE AWFUL LUCKY TO SEE COLORS LIKE THAT.
I'LL BET THEY DON'T KNOW HOW LUCKY THEY ARE.
HI.
HOW YOU DOING?
SWELL.
LOOK...YOU PROBABLY DON'T THINK
I SHOULD BE ASKING YOU THIS.
WILL YOU GO OUT WITH ME TONIGHT?
WHOO!
HI, THERE, BUD.
Elvis Presley: #### BABY, LET ME BE ####
HEY, MR. SIMPSON, YOUR LAWN LOOKS GREAT. WHOOP!
#### PUT A CHAIN AROUND MY NECK ####
#### AND LEAD ME ANYWHERE ####
YES!
#### OH, LET HIM BE ####
Repairman: BUD.
#### YOUR TEDDY BEAR ####
Repairman: DAVID.
WELL, COME HERE, YOUNG FELLA.
YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN THINKING.
I MIGHT HAVE BEEN A LITTLE HASTY THE OTHER DAY
WHEN YOU ASKED TO COME HOME.
IT JUST TOOK ME BY SUCH A SURPRISE, YOU KNOW?
HA HA HA.
SO EVEN THOUGH I CAN'T MAKE ANY PROMISES...
WELL, I FIGURED IF YOU ASKED ME REAL NICE,
I MIGHT JUST BE WILLING TO TALK ABOUT IT AGAIN.
I CAN'T.
WHAT?
TALK ABOUT IT RIGHT NOW. I MEAN--
I'LL BE HONEST WITH YOU, BUD.
I'M GETTING A LITTLE CONCERNED
ABOUT WHAT I'M SEEING ON SOME OF THESE RERUNS.
RERUNS?
LIKE WHEN MARGARET HENDERSON
MAKES HER COOKIES FOR WHITEY.
THOSE ARE NOT YOUR COOKIES, BUD.
YES, I KNOW. I KNOW THEY ARE NOT MY COOKIES, BUT--
THOSE ARE WHITEY'S COOKIES, BUD.
THEY BELONG TO HIM.
THEN HE EATS THEM,
THEN HE ASKS HER TO GO TO LOVERS' LANE--
LOOK, I WOULD LOVE TO TALK ABOUT ALL THIS RIGHT NOW,
BUT I AM REALLY IN A HURRY, SO-- BUD!
LOOK, I CAN'T HEAR YOU! IT'S REALLY CRUDDY RECEPTION!
WE'LL TALK LATER!
[CREAK]
WHAT'S WRONG?
LISTEN...
YOU'RE READING.
I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU STARTED SUCH A DORKY FAD.
IT'S D.H...
LAWRENCE.
YOU EVER HEARD OF HIM?
YEAH.
YEAH, I READ A COUPLE OF PAGES.
SEEMED KIND OF SEXY.
IT IS.
HEY, CAN I ASK YOU A QUESTION?
SURE.
HOW COME I'M STILL IN BLACK AND WHITE?
WHAT?
I'VE HAD, LIKE, 10 TIMES AS MUCH SEX
AS THE REST OF THESE GIRLS, AND I STILL LOOK LIKE THIS.
I MEAN, THEY SPEND LIKE AN HOUR IN THE BACK SEAT OF SOME CAR,
AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, THEY'RE IN TECHNICOLOR?
I DON'T KNOW.
MAYBE IT'S NOT JUST THE SEX.
WHERE IS IT?
UM, A LITTLE BIT FARTHER, I THINK.
Man on radio: WKPV--
THE SOUNDS OF PLEASANTVILLE.
HERE'S A NEW ONE
FOR ALL YOU KIDS OUT AT LOVERS' LANE.
Etta James: #### AT LAST ####
#### MY LOVE HAS COME ALONG ####
#### MY LONELY DAYS ####
WOW.
#### ARE OVER ####
#### AND LIFE IS LIKE A SONG ####
#### OH, OH, YEAH, YEAH ####
#### AT LAST ####
#### THE SKIES ABOVE ARE BLUE ####
#### MY HEART ####
#### WAS WRAPPED UP IN CLOVER ####
#### THE NIGHT I LOOKED AT YOU ####
IT'S AMAZING, HUH?
YEAH.
#### I FOUND A DREAM ####
#### THAT I ####
#### COULD SPEAK TO ####
#### A DREAM THAT I ####
#### CAN CALL MY OWN ####
#### I FOUND A THRILL ####
#### TO PRESS MY CHEEK TO ####
#### A THRILL THAT I ####
#### HAVE NEVER KNOWN ####
[BELL RINGS]
[BELL RINGS, DOOR CLOSES]
WE'RE CLOSED RIGHT NOW.
OH, I'M SORRY.
I... [LAUGHS NERVOUSLY]
OH, HI.
HI. I JUST THOUGHT THAT, UH--
NO, NO, NO. COME ON IN.
[SIGHS]
IT'S...BEAUTIFUL.
OH.
THANKS.
I WAS, UH, JUST TRYING TO DO
ONE OF THESE STILL LIFES.
KIND OF HAVING A TOUGH TIME.
OH, I THINK IT LOOKS NICE.
WELL, HERE'S WHAT IT'S SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE.
OH, MY.
HERE. LOOK AT THIS.
WHERE DID YOU GET THIS?
BUD BROUGHT IT TO ME.
MY BUD?
YEAH. HERE'S MY FAVORITE.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
ISN'T IT GREAT HOW SHE'S RESTING LIKE THAT?
SHE'S CRYING.
NO, SHE'S NOT.
YES, SHE IS.
OH.
WAIT.
NO, NO. I'VE GOT TO GO.
IT'S ALL RIGHT. LET ME SEE.
IT'S BEAUTIFUL.
YOU SHOULDN'T COVER THAT UP.
HERE.
LET ME JUST--I JUST-- LET ME JUST...
[CRICKETS CHIRPING]
SO WHAT'S IT LIKE?
WHAT?
OUT THERE.
WELL, IT'S, UH...
IT'S LOUDER.
AND...
SCARIER, I GUESS.
AND IT'S, UH, A LOT MORE DANGEROUS.
SOUNDS FANTASTIC.
YOU KNOW, THE OTHER NIGHT, SOME KIDS CAME UP HERE
TO GO SWIMMING, AND THEY TOOK OFF ALL THEIR CLOTHES.
DO YOU WANT SOME BERRIES?
HUH?
SOME BERRIES. I PICKED THEM MYSELF.
REALLY?
MM-HMM.
YEAH, THERE'S LOTS OF STUFF.
LIKE WHAT?
UM...
HERE...I'LL SHOW YOU.
HERE.
GO AHEAD. TRY IT.
[PEBBLE HITS WINDOW]
MARY SUE.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
IT--IT'S 6:30.
SO?
WE WERE GONNA...
YOU KNOW.
OH, YE--I CAN'T.
WHY NOT?
I'M BUSY.
WITH WHAT?
I'M STUDYING.
GOOD EVENING.
EVENING.
GEORGE.
GOOD EVENING, NORM.
HUH.
HONEY, I'M HOME.
[THUNDER]
HONEY, I'M HOME.
[THUNDER]
WHAT WAS THAT?
I DON'T KNOW.
WHAT IS THAT?
WHAT'S GOING ON?
IT'S RAIN.
REAL RAIN?
YEAH.
YOU DON'T HAVE RAIN EITHER?
WELL, OF COURSE YOU DON'T.
HEY, IT'S OK.
HERE, COME ON.
[MURMURING]
WHAT'S GOING ON?
IT'S RAIN.
IT'S OK. IT'S FINE.
THERE'S NOTHING TO BE SCARED OF.
HERE, I'LL SHOW YOU.
IT'S JUST RAIN. IT'S OK.
IT'S FINE. COME ON OUT.
YOU SEE?! LOOK!
YOU SEE?!
COME ON! COME ON!
Girl: IT'S COLD.
COOL.
HONEY, I'M HOME.
WHERE'S MY DINNER?
[THUNDER]
WHERE'S MY DINNER?
[THUNDER]
WHERE'S MY DINNER?
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[WHEEZING] HA HA HA!
GEORGE?
WHAT HAPPENED?
Big Bob: ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
WHAT IS IT?
RAIN.
REAL RAIN?
[THUNDER]
[MUSIC SHUTS OFF]
OH, MY GOD.
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
I CAME HOME LIKE I ALWAYS DO,
AND I WENT IN THE FRONT DOOR,
AND I TOOK OFF MY COAT,
AND I PUT DOWN MY BRIEFCASE,
AND I SAID...
"HONEY, I'M HOME."
ONLY THERE WAS NO ONE THERE.
[MEN GASPING]
George: NO WIFE.
NO LIGHTS.
NO DINNER.
NO DINNER?
I WENT TO THE OVEN, YOU KNOW,
I THOUGHT MAYBE SHE HAD MADE ME ONE OF THOSE TV DINNERS.
YEAH, SURE.
SHE HADN'T.
SHE WAS GONE.
I LOOKED AND LOOKED AND LOOKED.
SHE WAS GONE.
IT'S GONNA BE FINE, GEORGE.
YOU'RE WITH US NOW.
WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO, BOB?
WELL, WE'RE SAFE FOR NOW.
THANK GOODNESS WE'RE IN A BOWLING ALLEY.
BUT IF GEORGE HERE DOESN'T GET HIS DINNER,
ANY ONE OF US COULD BE NEXT.
IT COULD BE YOU, GUS.
OR YOU, ROY.
OR EVEN YOU, RALPH.
THAT IS REAL RAIN OUT THERE, GENTLEMEN.
THIS ISN'T SOME LITTLE VIRUS THAT'LL CLEAR UP ON ITS OWN.
SOMETHING IS HAPPENING TO OUR TOWN.
AND I THINK WE CAN ALL SEE WHERE IT'S COMING FROM.
ROY...
WHY DON'T YOU SHOW THEM WHAT YOU SHOWED ME BEFORE?
BOB...
IT'S OK, ROY. COME ON UP HERE.
I KNOW, ROY.
THANKS.
HE ASKED HER WHAT SHE WAS DOING.
SHE SAID NOTHING.
SHE WAS JUST THINKING.
MY FRIENDS, THIS ISN'T ABOUT GEORGE'S DINNER.
IT'S NOT ABOUT ROY'S SHIRT.
IT'S A QUESTION OF VALUES.
IT'S A QUESTION OF WHETHER
WE WANT TO HOLD ON TO THOSE VALUES
THAT MADE THIS PLACE GREAT.
SO...A TIME HAS COME TO MAKE A DECISION.
ARE WE IN THIS THING ALONE,
OR ARE WE IN IT TOGETHER?
TOGETHER.
Men: TOGETHER!
TOGETHER! TOGETHER!
TOGETHER!
TOGETHER.
TOGETHER! TOGETHER!
[THUNDER]
Betty: I TOLD YOU WHERE I WAS.
George: ALL NIGHT?
I GOT CAUGHT IN THE STORM.
YOU WERE GONE ALL NIGHT, TOO.
LOOK...
LET'S JUST FORGET ABOUT IT.
WE'LL JUST GO TO THE MEETING.
NO. I TOLD YOU, GEORGE,
I AM NOT GOING TO THAT MEETING.
SURE YOU ARE.
NO.
I'M NOT.
LOOK AT ME, GEORGE.
LOOK AT MY FACE.
THAT MEETING'S NOT FOR ME.
YOU'LL PUT ON SOME MAKEUP.
I DON'T WANT TO PUT ON SOME MAKEUP.
IT GOES AWAY. IT'LL GO AWAY.
I DON'T WANT IT...
TO GO AWAY.
NOW, YOU LISTEN TO ME.
YOU'RE COMING TO THIS MEETING.
YOU'RE GOING TO PUT ON SOME MAKEUP.
YOU'RE GOING TO BE HOME AT 6:00 EVERY NIGHT,
AND YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE DINNER READY ON THIS TABLE.
NO.
I'M NOT, SWEETIE.
I MADE YOU A MEAT LOAF.
JUST PUT IT IN THE OVEN
AND TURN THIS LITTLE KNOB UP TO 350.
IF YOU PUT THE PIE IN 40 MINUTES LATER,
IT'LL BE HOT IN TIME FOR DESERT.
UM...
I MADE A COUPLE OF LUNCHES FOR YOU FOR TOMORROW...
AND PUT THEM IN BROWN PAPER BAGS.
I'M GOING TO GO NOW.
WHERE ARE YOU GONNA GO?
I'M GOING TO GO NOW.
BETTY, DON'T GO OUT THERE LIKE THAT.
THEY'LL SEE YOU.
BETTY, COME BACK HERE!
IT'S BEAUTIFUL. CAN I OPEN IT?
SURE.
HMM.
WHERE'D YOU GET IT?
IT WAS A PROP FROM THE SCHOOL PLAY.
THANK YOU.
[CAR APPROACHING]
[KISS]
HELLO, BUD.
HELLO, MARGARET.
WHITEY.
HEY, BUD, WHY AREN'T YOU
AT THE TOWN MEETING RIGHT NOW?
NO REASON. HOW COME YOU'RE NOT?
UH, WE'RE SUPPOSED TO GO AROUND
AND LET EVERYONE KNOW ABOUT IT.
I THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS BECAUSE YOU WERE TOO BUSY
ENTERTAINING YOUR COLORED GIRLFRIEND.
HEY, WHY DON'T YOU GUYS GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE?
ALL RIGHT.
WE'LL DO THAT.
YOU KNOW, MARGARET,
YOU CAN COME OVER
AND MAKE THOSE OATMEAL COOKIES FOR ME
ANYTIME YOU WANT TO.
Big Bob: PEOPLE.
[CHATTERING]
PEOPLE!
ROY CAMPBELL'S GOT A BLUE FRONT DOOR.
IT'S ALWAYS BEEN BLUE.
PEOPLE.
PEOPLE, PLEASE.
PLEASE.
I THINK WE ALL KNOW WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON HERE.
UP UNTIL NOW,
EVERYTHING AROUND HERE HAS ALWAYS BEEN...
WELL, PLEASANT.
Man: IT'S BEEN GOOD.
RECENTLY, CERTAIN THINGS HAVE BECOME UNPLEASANT.
HEAR, HEAR.
NOW, IT SEEMS TO ME
THAT THE FIRST THING WE HAVE TO DO
IS TO SEPARATE OUT THE THINGS THAT ARE PLEASANT
FROM THE THINGS THAT ARE UNPLEASANT.
[MURMURING]
[BELL TOLLING]
[BRAKES SCREECH]
[CRASH]
Woman: THAT'S BETTY PARKER, ISN'T IT?
Second woman: THAT IS AN OUTRAGE.
[MURMURING]
WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?
GET IN HERE.
NOW!
YOU THINK THIS IS A TOY?
YOU THINK
IT'S YOUR OWN LITTLE GODDAMN COLORING BOOK?
IT JUST SORT OF HAPPENED.
A DELUGE DOESN'T JUST HAPPEN.
BOLTS OF LIGHTNING DON'T JUST HAPPEN.
I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG.
OH, NO? LET ME SHOW YOU SOMETHING.
GO ON, TRY IT.
BOOM! RIGHT THERE!
WHAT DO YOU CALL THAT, HUH?
YOU KNOW, YOU DON'T DESERVE THIS PLACE.
YOU DON'T DESERVE TO LIVE IN THIS PARADISE.
WHERE'S THE REMOTE CONTROL I GAVE YOU?
WHY?
BECAUSE YOU'RE COMING HOME, YOU LITTLE TWERP,
AND I'M GONNA PUT THIS PLACE BACK THE WAY IT WAS.
I CAN'T LET YOU DO THAT. WHAT?
I'M SORRY. I'M NOT GONNA LET YOU DO THAT.
JUST GIVE ME THE DAMN REMOTE! OW.
I'M GONNA GO NOW.
YOU'RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE.
YOU'RE GONNA GET THAT REMOTE
AND YOU'RE GONNA COME HOME,
AND WE'RE GONNA MAKE EVERYBODY HAPPY AGAIN.
HEY, WHERE YOU GOING IN SUCH A HURRY?
NOW, THAT'S NOT REAL FRIENDLY.
HEY, LET'S SEE IF SHE LOOKS LIKE HER PICTURE.
YOU WANT TO BE FRIENDLY, DON'T YOU?
WHY DON'T YOU SHOW US
WHAT'S UNDER THAT NICE BLUE DRESS?
YEAH, COME ON!
HEY, WHERE YOU GOING?
THERE'S NOWHERE TO GO OVER THERE.
[LAUGHING]
YOU KNOW, THAT IS A LOVELY SHADE OF BLUE.
DON'T YOU THINK THAT'S A LOVELY SHADE OF BLUE?
David: GET OUT OF HERE!
GO ON! GO! GET OUT OF HERE!
ARE YOU OK?
YEAH.
WHAT?
[ANGRY CHATTERING]
IT'S OK. HE'S NOT IN THERE.
[PANTING]
HEY, HEY! IT'S OK. IT'S OK. ALL RIGHT?
I'M GONNA GET YOU OUT OF HERE, ALL RIGHT?
ARE YOU OK?
HOO HOO!
KEEP 'EM COMING!
Jennifer: NO!
NO, MARY SUE, IT'S BETTER THIS WAY.
THIS IS, LIKE, THE ONLY BOOK I'VE EVER READ IN MY WHOLE LIFE,
AND YOU'RE NOT GONNA PUT IT ON THAT FIRE!
JUST GIVE ME THE BOOK!
OHH!
MARY SUE!
David: JENNIFER.
IT'S ME.
[CLANG]
LET'S GO INSIDE.
[GLASS RATTLES]
HELLO?
JUST THOUGHT I'D TRY TO TIDY IT UP A BIT.
IT'S OK.
IT'S OK. IT'S OK.
ONCE WE SWEEP IT UP, IT'LL BE ALL RIGHT AGAIN.
HMM.
YEAH. YEAH.
HE'S RIGHT. LET'S, UH...
HERE, HELP ME WITH THIS, WILL YOU?
SURE.
GOOD. PUT THIS UP IN HERE.
[ANGRY MUTTERING]
Big Bob: PEOPLE!
PEOPLE!
[CLEARS THROAT]
THIS IS NOT THE ANSWER, PEOPLE.
NO MATTER HOW UPSET WE MAY GET
OR HOW FRUSTRATED WE MAY BE,
WE'RE NOT GONNA SOLVE OUR PROBLEMS OUT IN THE STREET.
IT'S JUST THE WRONG WAY TO DO IT.
WE HAVE TO FIND A CODE OF CONDUCT
THAT WE CAN ALL AGREE TO LIVE BY.
NOW, I ASKED GEORGE AND RALPH HERE TO SKETCH OUT A FEW IDEAS,
AND I THINK THEY'VE DONE A TERRIFIC JOB.
NOW, IF WE CAN ALL AGREE TO THESE, WE CAN TAKE A VOTE,
AND I THINK WE CAN START OFF IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
"1--ALL PUBLIC DISRUPTION AND ACTS OF VANDALISM
ARE TO CEASE IMMEDIATELY."
"2--ALL CITIZENS OF PLEASANTVILLE
"ARE TO TREAT EACH OTHER
IN A COURTEOUS AND PLEASANT MANNER."
"COURTEOUS AND PLEASANT MANNER."
WELL, THAT'S NOT TOO BAD.
"3--THE AREA COMMONLY KNOWN AS LOVERS' LANE
"AS WELL AS THE PLEASANTVILLE PUBLIC LIBRARY
SHALL BE CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE."
[MURMURING]
"4--THE ONLY PERMISSIBLE RECORDED MUSIC
"SHALL BE THE FOLLOWING:
"JOHNNY MATHIS, PERRY COMO, JACK JONES,
"THE MARCHES OF JOHN PHILIP SOUSA,
"ORTHE STAR-SPANGLED BANNER.
"IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY MUSIC BE TOLERATED
THAT IS NOT OF A TEMPERATE OR PLEASANT NATURE."
[MURMURING]
"5--THERE SHALL BE NO PUBLIC SALE OF UMBRELLAS
OR PREPARATION FOR INCLEMENT WEATHER OF ANY KIND."
"6--NO BED FRAME OR MATTRESS MAY BE SOLD
MEASURING MORE THAN 38 INCHES WIDE."
"7--THE ONLY PERMISSIBLE PAINT COLORS..."
"SHALL BE BLACK, WHITE, OR GRAY,
DESPITE THE RECENT AVAILABILITY OF CERTAIN ALTERNATIVES."
"8--ALL ELEMENTARY AND HIGH SCHOOL CURRICULUM
"SHALL TEACH THE NON-CHANGEIST VIEW OF HISTORY,
EMPHASIZING CONTINUITY OVER ALTERATION."
WOW.
HEY...
THIS THING STILL WORKS.
[BUDDY HOLLY'SRAVE ON BEGINS]
TURN THAT OFF!
YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO DO THAT NOW!
#### MAKE ME WANT-- ####
SURE YOU ARE.
Buddy Holly: #### WELL, THE LITTLE THINGS ####
#### YOU SAY AND DO ####
#### MAKE ME WANT TO BE WITH YOU-OO-OO ####
#### RAVE ON, IT'S A CRAZY FEELING ####
#### AND I KNOW IT'S GOT ME REELING ####
#### WHEN YOU SAY ####
#### I LOVE YOU, RAVE ON ####
#### DIDDY DUM DI DI DI ####
#### THE WAY YOU DANCE AND HOLD ME TIGHT ####
#### THE WAY YOU KISS AND SAY GOOD NIGHT ####
#### RAVE ON, IT'S A CRAZY FEELING ####
#### AND I KNOW IT'S GOT ME REELING ####
#### WHEN YOU SAY ####
#### I LOVE YOU, RAVE ON ####
#### DIDDY DUM DIDDY ####
#### WELL, RAVE ON, IT'S A CRAZY FEELING... ####
WOW, THIS IS GOOD.
YOU JUST DO IT?
[CHUCKLES]
DON'T WORRY. WE'LL GET YOU A NEW ONE.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'D DO IF I COULDN'T PAINT ANYMORE, BUD.
MAYBE I HAVE AN IDEA.
[VOICES MURMURING]
Woman: SHAMELESS.
[CRICKETS CHIRPING]
[WHISPERING]
WHEN ARE THEY GONNA LET THEM OUT?
Officer: HEY, WHAT ARE YOU KIDS DOING OUT THERE?
Officer: THERE'S SOMEONE TO SEE YOU, BUD.
[KEYS JINGLING]
OH, HI.
HI.
IS THIS A BAD TIME?
NO. NO, IT'S FINE. COME ON IN.
I BROUGHT YOU SOMETHING.
THANK YOU.
COCKTAIL OLIVES.
EVERYTHING ELSE WAS FROZEN.
I DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO--
I APPRECIATE IT.
YOU KNOW, YOUR MOM WENT OUT.
WENT OUT?
YEAH. SHE WENT OUT FOR A LITTLE WHILE.
WHEN?
3 DAYS AGO.
JEEZ, EVERYTHING IS SO COCKEYED.
I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW IT WAS TUESDAY.
TUESDAY WE PLAY BRIDGE WITH THE JENKINS.
THERE WAS NO BRIDGE. IT'S--[SIGHS]
CAN I HAVE ONE OF THOSE?
SURE. YEAH. YOU HUNGRY?
OH-HO. MRS. BENSON...
WAS MAKING MEAT LOAF NEXT DOOR.
I ALMOST CLIMBED IN HER KITCHEN WINDOW.
WHAT HAPPENED?
ONE MINUTE, EVERYTHING'S FINE,
THE NEXT...
WHAT WENT WRONG?
NOTHING WENT WRONG. PEOPLE CHANGE.
PEOPLE CHANGE?
YEAH, PEOPLE CHANGE.
CAN THEY CHANGE BACK?
I DON'T KNOW. I THINK IT'S HARDER.
YOU OK?
YEAH.
NOT FAIR, YOU KNOW?
YOU GET USED TO ONE THING AND THEN--
I KNOW. IT'S NOT.
Big Bob: BUD PARKER, WILLIAM JOHNSON,
YOU ARE CHARGED WITH DESECRATION OF A PUBLIC BUILDING
AND WITH THE INTENTIONAL USE OF PROHIBITED PAINT COLORS
IN VIOLATION OF THE PLEASANTVILLE CODE OF CONDUCT
AND LAWS OF COMMON DECENCY.
DO YOU ADMIT THAT ON THE NIGHT OF MAY 1st,
YOU DID WILLFULLY AND CONSCIOUSLY APPLY
THE FOLLOWING FORBIDDEN PAINT COLORS
TO THE NORTH WALL OF THE PLEASANTVILLE POLICE STATION:
RED, PINK, VERMILION, PUCE, CHARTREUSE,
UMBER, BLUE, AQUA, OXBLOOD, GREEN, PEACH, CRIMSON,
YELLOW, OLIVE, AND MAGENTA?
YEAH, I DO. WHERE'S OUR LAWYER?
OH, I THINK WE WANT TO KEEP THESE PROCEEDINGS
AS PLEASANT AS POSSIBLE.
I DON'T THINK A LAWYER WILL BE NECESSARY.
DO YOU FURTHER ADMIT THAT THIS UNNATURAL DEPICTION
OCCURRED IN FULL PUBLIC VIEW WHERE IT WAS ACCESSIBLE TO
AND IN PLAIN SIGHT OF MINOR CHILDREN?
IT WAS ACCESSIBLE TO EVERYONE.
LET THE RECORD SHOW THAT THE DEFENDANTS HAVE ANSWERED
IN THE AFFIRMATIVE TO ALL CHARGES.
DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY IN YOUR DEFENSE?
YEAH, I DO-- BILL?
I DIDN'T MEAN TO HURT ANYBODY.
MAYBE IF I PAINTED SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
OR MAYBE I COULD USE LESS COLORS OR SOMETHING.
OR, YOU KNOW, CERTAIN COLORS.
OR MAYBE I COULD--
YOU COULD PICK OUT THE COLORS BEFOREHAND
AND THEN THEY WOULDN'T BOTHER ANYBODY.
I'VE GOT SOMETHING TO SAY.
VERY WELL.
YOU DON'T HAVE A RIGHT TO DO THIS.
[CROWD MURMURING]
I MEAN...
I KNOW YOU WANT IT TO STAY PLEASANT AROUND HERE,
BUT...
THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS
THAT ARE SO MUCH BETTER.
LIKE SILLY OR SEXY
OR DANGEROUS
OR BRIEF.
AND EVERY ONE OF THOSE THINGS
IS IN YOU ALL THE TIME
IF YOU JUST HAVE THE GUTS TO LOOK FOR THEM.
THAT'S ENOUGH.
I THOUGHT I WAS ALLOWED TO DEFEND MYSELF.
YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO LIE.
I'M NOT LYING.
YOU SEE THOSE FACES UP THERE?
THEY'RE NO DIFFERENT THAN YOU ARE.
THEY JUST SEE SOMETHING INSIDE THEMSELVES--
[BANGS GAVEL] I SAID THAT'S ENOUGH.
I'LL SHOW YOU. DAD?
YEAH, BUD?
IT'S OK, DAD. JUST LISTEN FOR A SEC.
I KNOW YOU MISS HER.
I MEAN, YOU TOLD ME YOU DID,
BUT MAYBE IT'S NOT JUST THE COOKING OR THE CLEANING
THAT YOU MISS.
MAYBE IT'S SOMETHING ELSE.
MAYBE YOU CAN'T EVEN DESCRIBE IT.
MAYBE YOU ONLY KNOW IT WHEN IT'S GONE.
MAYBE IT'S LIKE THERE'S A WHOLE PIECE OF YOU
THAT'S MISSING, TOO.
LOOK AT HER, DAD.
DOESN'T SHE LOOK PRETTY LIKE THAT?
DOESN'T SHE LOOK JUST AS BEAUTIFUL
AS THE FIRST TIME YOU MET HER?
YOU REALLY WANT HER BACK THE WAY SHE WAS?
DOESN'T SHE LOOK WONDERFUL?
NOW, DON'T YOU WISH YOU COULD TELL HER THAT?
[CROWD MURMURING]
YOU'RE OUT OF ORDER.
David: WHY AM I OUT OF ORDER?
I'M NOT GONNA LET YOU TURN THIS COURTROOM INTO A CIRCUS.
I DON'T THINK IT'S A CIRCUS,
AND I DON'T THINK THEY DO, EITHER.
[BANGS GAVEL] THIS BEHAVIOR MUST STOP AT ONCE.
BUT, SEE? THAT'S JUST THE POINT.
IT CAN'T STOP AT ONCE BECAUSE IT'S IN YOU,
AND YOU CAN'T STOP SOMETHING INSIDE YOU.
IT IS NOT INSIDE ME.
SURE IT IS.
NO, IT IS NOT.
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO TO ME RIGHT NOW?
COME ON. EVERYONE IS TURNING COLORS.
KIDS ARE MAKING OUT IN THE STREET.
NO ONE IS GETTING THEIR DINNER.
HELL, YOU COULD HAVE A FLOOD ANY MINUTE!
PRETTY SOON, THE WOMEN COULD BE GOING OFF TO WORK
WHILE THE MEN STAYED AT HOME AND COOKED.
THAT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.
BUT IT COULD HAPPEN!
NO, IT COULD NOT!
[LOUD CHATTER]
BUD!
[CROWD LAUGHING]
HEY, LOOK AT THIS!
BUD!
Jennifer: UGH.
WHAT AN IMAGE.
OH, SHUT UP.
Betty: BUD!
HA HA HA!
YOU SURE YOU DON'T WANT TO COME HOME?
YEAH. I GOTTA DO THIS FOR A LITTLE WHILE.
BESIDES, YOU THINK I EVEN HAVE A CHANCE
OF GETTING INTO COLLEGE BACK THERE?
HONESTLY?
DO YOU HAVE YOUR ADMISSIONS LETTER?
YEAH. IT'S RIGHT HERE.
I DID THE SLUT THING, DAVID.
GOT KINDA OLD.
I'LL COME BACK AND CHECK ON YOU SOON.
OK.
YOU TURNED INTO A PRETTY COOL GUY.
HOW'D THAT HAPPEN?
I DON'T KNOW.
[LAUGHS]
I'LL SEE YOU.
OK.
BYE.
Margaret: JUST DON'T FORGET ABOUT ME.
EVEN IF YOU NEVER COME BACK.
I JUST DON'T WANT YOU TO FORGET ABOUT ME.
I COULDN'T DO THAT.
HERE.
SO WHAT'S THIS?
LOTS OF STUFF. A MEAT LOAF SANDWICH--
Betty: AND A HARD-BOILED EGG...
AND SOME MARSHMALLOW RICE SQUARES.
HELLO.
THERE'S SOME FRIED CHICKEN IN THERE, TOO.
DON'T GO SKIPPING DINNER JUST 'CAUSE YOU'RE NOT HERE ANYMORE.
I WON'T. I THOUGHT THAT YOU WEREN'T GONNA--
I HAD TO COME SAY GOOD-BYE.
JUST WEAR THIS ON THE TRIP
IN CASE IT GETS COLD.
IT'S A PRETTY SHORT TRIP.
OH, STILL...
OH, BUD...
I AM JUST SO PROUD OF YOU.
THANKS.
I KNOW.
I LOVE YOU, TOO.
WELL...
I--I GUESS YOU BETTER STAND BACK.

DON'T FORGET...
WE'LL BE GOING ALL NIGHT LONG UNTIL NOON TOMORROW--
[SOBBING]
HI.
I THOUGHT YOU WENT OUT OF TOWN.
CAME BACK.
WHAT'S WRONG?
OHH, I DON'T KNOW. EVERYTHING'S SO FUCKED UP.
I GOT HALFWAY DOWN THERE AND THOUGHT, "WHAT AM I DOING?"
HE'S 9 YEARS YOUNGER THAN I AM.
DOESN'T MAKE ME FEEL YOUNGER. MAKES ME FEEL OLDER.
WHEN YOUR FATHER WAS HERE, I USED TO THINK THIS WAS IT.
THIS WAS THE WAY IT WAS ALWAYS GOING TO BE.
I HAD THE RIGHT HOUSE, I HAD THE RIGHT CAR,
I HAD THE RIGHT LIFE--
THERE IS NO RIGHT HOUSE, THERE IS NO RIGHT CAR.
GOD, MY FACE MUST BE A MESS.
[SNIFFLES]
IT LOOKS GREAT.
HONEY, THAT'S REALLY SWEET OF YOU,
BUT I AM SURE IT DOES NOT LOOK GREAT.
SURE, IT DOES.
COME HERE.
I'M 40 YEARS OLD. IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE THIS.
IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE ANYTHING.
HOLD STILL.
HOW'D YOU GET SO SMART ALL OF A SUDDEN?
I HAD A GOOD DAY.
