Perce speaks to his ma

Further to my post about Montgomery Clift's birthday, thanks to PMc for turning up a link for the scene from The Misfits in which Perce Howland (Clift) phones his mother:

Hello? Hello? Hello, Ma? This is Perce. Yeah, I'm OK. No. I was in Colorado. I'm in Nevada now. Just won me a bull ride. Yeah. Yeah, a pretty good rodeo. A hundred dollars.

Ma, I was gonna buy you a birthday present with it... but I was comin' out of my boots. No, Ma, I haven't been in hospital since I talked to you. I just bought some boots. Ma, what would I wanna get married for? I just bought me... Hey, you know what? On top of purse money, I won me a nice silver buckle. Yeah. Got a buckin' horse on it and my entire name written out underneath. You proud? Oh, no, no. My face is fine. It's all healed up. It's just as good as new. You would too recognize me.

Oh, OK, operator.

Ma, listen. Say hello to Frieda for me, will you? And to Victoria. Yeah, and to Uncle George. OK, say hello to him too. No, no, Ma. It just slipped my mind, that's all. Well, OK, I'm sayin' it now. Ma, you married him, I didn't. So say hello to him.

Oh, is that...? Listen, maybe I'll call you at Christmas time. OK. Hello? Hello? God bless you too.

Families, hey.
