:42:00
Out of it came a wonderful cowboy walk.
:42:05
The way he was able to use the rope...
:42:08
which we have talked about,
in the porch scene.
:42:12
The speech pattern,
the way he wore his hat.
:42:16
I don't think he ever took off the clothes.
:42:19
He had this pink shirt,
this pink cowboy shirt...
:42:22
that he just loved and adored,
and I don't blame him.
:42:25
It was a neat cowboy shirt.
Very simple, very plain.
:42:28
He wore it, and wore it,
and I said, "Jimmy!
:42:32
"When's the last time
you had that shirt cleaned?"
:42:34
He said, "They lost two of my shirts
at the laundry.
:42:38
"I'm not going to let them get this one."
:42:40
I said, "Listen, sonny boy,
you go in the other room...
:42:44
"and there's a terrycloth bathrobe
of mine. Go put that on.
:42:47
"I just took it out of the dryer.
:42:49
"You put that on,
and you give me that pink shirt."
:42:52
He said,
"What are you going to do with it?"
:42:54
I said, "I'm going to wash it,
that's what I'm going to do."
:42:57
I washed his pink shirt by hand...
:43:00
and then I put it in the dryer.
:43:02
He said, "It might shrink or something."
I said, "It won't shrink."
:43:07
Anyway, from then on, that was my job...
:43:10
for Jimmy. He'd bring me his pink shirt.
:43:12
At least I knew it was clean.
:43:14
When he decided
that Jimmy would play the part...
:43:18
and they sat down to talk about it...
:43:21
Dad talked to him about his racecar.
:43:24
He said, "I know you love driving.
:43:29
"We've got a lot of people
involved in this picture.
:43:33
"If something happens to you,
and you break an arm, or your leg...
:43:36
"there are going to be 300 people....
:43:40
"Their work's going to be stopped.
:43:42
"So I want to ask you...
:43:44
"while this picture's being made
not to drive that car."
:43:48
And Jimmy looked at him
and said, "All right."
:43:52
Throughout the shooting,
Jimmy never drove the car.
:43:56
I knew Jimmy for several years...
:43:59
but he was not an easy person to know.
