: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.
:44:04
The kids at the Actor's Studio
used to get together...
:44:08
once a week, and we'd sit around
and listen to classical music.
:44:12
We were terribly serious people.
:44:16
Jimmy used to come into these parties.
:44:18
He'd come late.
He never said hello to anyone.
:44:22
After a while,
you'd look around, and he was gone...
:44:26
without ever saying goodbye to anybody.
:44:28
He didn't talk to anybody.
:44:31
He was, I think, desperately shy.
:44:37
So he was not easy to know.
:44:41
He clung a little bit to me...
:44:44
when we first got into Giant...
:44:46
just because I was a person
that he knew from the past.
:44:50
Actually, I spent more time with him...
:44:53
and got to know him better on Giant
than I had known him...
:44:57
several years before,
when we were students together.
