Frankie: Out here in the middle,
we spend a lot of time at the movies.
We go to escape the heat,
the cold, and just the monotony of our lives.
Yep, everybody loves going to the movies.
I've never been to the movies.
What are you talking about?
Of course you've been to the movies.
No, I haven't.
I've seen them on TV and from the car once,
but I've never been in an actual theater.
[ Sighs ] Oh, yeah, I remember.
We wanted to take you when you were little,
but you had all that sensory weirdness.
Yes, and I'm sure that's how
the doctors suggested you refer to it.
Very healthy, very supportive.
I'm a teenager and I've never been to the movies.
It's pretty sad.
When I was a teenager, my mom died.
Yeah, but she took you to the movies before she did, right?
We're taking you now.
Here, put these Milk Dudes up your sleeve.
What are Milk Dudes?
The Frugal Hoosier version of Milk Duds.
What are Milk Duds?
You know what Milk Duds are.
It's a classic movie sna-- Oh.
I got potatoes for everybody.
Are potatoes a classic movie snack, too?
He says we've never taken him to the movies.
Oh, well, "Flatlands" is a great first movie to see.
It was partially filmed right here in Orson.
A Hollywood movie partially filmed in Orson.
They used Tally's Diner as what they call an establishing shot.
I read that in the "Orson Patch."
It's not actually the inside of the diner.
The third unit just came and shot the exterior.
What? I drove by.
So, what goes on at the theater?
Are there chairs?
Is there a conveyor belt that brings you in?
As I mentioned, I've never been to the movies.
Have you been to Earth?
Not if I have to rely on you to take me there.
Snap! Slap it high!
Shove those down your pants.
Roger that.
This is so cool.
I know. I didn't sleep last night.
I am running on pure adrenaline.
Oh, you know, they sent in what they call
a third unit to shoot the exterior.
Mike drove by.
Hey, Mom! They have popcorn here!
We didn't have to bring our own!
[ Chuckles ]
You'd think he'd never been to the movies.
He has. [ Laughter ]
I was so bummed that the actors didn't come to Orson to film.
I've never seen a celebrity.
Bill's met one at a pool.
Tell them, Bill.
Oh, Okay.
Yeah, I mean, it was somebody big,
but let me just get you there.
I'm in college, a busboy,
and they say there's gonna be a group of 12 coming.
So, you got your sections.
Oh, when I was a waitress,
I could never get the section I wanted.
I don't know why. Oh, no, no. I do know why.
There was this one waiter, and he knew the owner.
No, no. It was his nephew, Brian.
Ugh, hated that guy.
[ Chuckles ]
So -- So, I didn't know who it was, right,
but I knew it was a biggie because they had to have
exactly five sliced lemons in their water.
I mean, you don't get that unless you're somebody.
What is with the lemons in the water?
I do not get why that is fancy.
You get the seeds in your throat.
It's not quenching. -[ Chuckles ]
So, anyway, you're bringing the guy lemons...
Yeah, only I didn't say it was a guy.
[ All "Ooh" ] Oh!
So, I'm there with the lemons, door opens --
Was it Heather Locklear?
I only say that 'cause I read once that she visited Missouri.
-[ Sighs ] -I like her. She seems real.
Frankie, let the man finish his story.
[ Both chuckle awkwardly ]
Yeah, it was Heather Locklear.
She loves lemons.
Hey, Judi! Exciting, huh?
-Who's that? -None of your business.
Want some pop, honey? -I'll take a pop.
It's right down there by your gigantic feet.
Hey, Fredelle! Oh!
What's this?
You told us to save you seats.
Yeah, not with you. Ugh, fine.
Where are my Milk Dudes?
Oh, here, Sean. I got you a potato, too.
Thanks. There's no meat on here, right?
It's just a phase.
Uh, where are the forks?
Oh, well, I forgot them,
and they didn't have any at the concession stand,
so I just took these.
Hold them down low.
I didn't buy anything when I took them,
so they're essentially stolen.
You can take straws. They figure that in.
-In what? -In their thing.
What thing? I cannot eat a potato with a straw!
It's got a tiny spoon at the end of it.
It's a spoon-straw. It's a spraw.
[ Sucking loudly ]
Well, so far, movie food is not impressing me.
Oh, my God.
Can this family never just buy something
from a concession stand?!
It's all good, man.
We're all just trying our best
to make our way through this life.
Nobody wants to hear your liberal jibber-jabber.
Frankie: Okay, you know what?
These are just dry, that's all.
Sue, go back to the concession stand and get some butter.
No, I already stole once today.
They figure that in.
I don't know what that means!
Sue, just go.
I don't want to miss Tally's Diner.
You'll be fine. We still have to sit through all the previews.

Honey, let the man finish his story, okay?
Okay, first of all,
you've never called me "honey" in your life.
And I wasn't interrupting him.
What I was doing is something called making conversation.
You wouldn't recognize it
because you never say anything to anyone.
You just stand there like a plaid Abe Lincoln statue.
I'm telling you, it was uncomfortable.
The only time it got uncomfortable
was when you snapped my head off.
What are you talking about?
They were horrified.
You couldn't see their faces 'cause
you're so freakishly tall, but I saw their faces.
So, I'm working at this resort,
