Giant

:33:03

He called the company,
and actually George spoke to him...

:33:07

privately, too.

:33:09

This was the situation. Nobody could bring
their husbands or wives.

:33:13

There just wasn't any space.

:33:15

We worked very long hours, all day long.

:33:18

At night,
there wasn't anything for anybody to do.

:33:22

That's why we started
what the crew called "Withers USO."

:33:27

Everybody came to my little house
that Mr. Stevens rented for me...

:33:31

and that's where we had
Monopoly marathons...

:33:35

and bridge tournaments
and croquet tournaments...

:33:38

and crazy things
to keep everybody busy at night.

:33:41

We had a good time there.

:33:43

Rock would come almost every night.

:33:46

Jimmy wouldn't come.
Dear Gussy, Jimmy wouldn't come...

:33:49

until everybody left and went home.

:33:52

Then the first time I found him there,
I dang near died.

:33:56

I was closing up the house,
putting all the Coca-Cola bottles...

:34:00

and stuff in the kitchen...

:34:02

and I heard something
in the back spare bedroom.

:34:05

I thought, "What is that?"

:34:07

I went to investigate, and I opened
the door, and do you know what I found?

:34:11

There was Jimmy Dean
on one of the twin beds.

:34:13

The window was up. It was one of those
up and down windows...

:34:16

the old-fashioned kind.

:34:18

He had put the window up,
and come in the window...

:34:22

was laying on the twin bed
with his hands behind his head...

:34:26

with a hat all slouched down
in front of him.

:34:30

I said, "What in the world are you doing?"

:34:33

He said, "I wanted to wait
until everybody left so I could talk to you."

:34:37

I said, "Heavens to Betsy,
you didn't have to do that.

:34:41

"From now on, sonny boy, you come in
the front door like everybody else."

:34:45

He said, "No, I think I like it this way."

:34:47

I said, "Really?"

:34:49

I went into the other room
and got a hammer and nails.

:34:52

I came and I hammered
the two windows in that room shut.

:34:55

I said, "You come in the front door,
or you don't come at all."

:34:58

My father was a man of the West,
raised in San Francisco.
