My favorite scene from "The Color Purple"

Listen from around 37 seconds to around 54 seconds.

Oh, and listen with ear buds! You can hear best that way - because he's talking in the background.

Here is a short clip from the movie "The Color Purple" (1985) which was directed by Steven Spielberg. In this scene was my grandfather who is the man in the background talking to the store clerk. Celie, the main character, trips over him at the end of this scene when she runs out of the store. This wasn't meant to originally happen, but Spielberg wanted to keep it. The movie was filmed in a town I lived in a for a few years called Wadesboro (in NC). Another fact: The old large white farmhouse shown throughout the film belongs to the Huntley family, who are related to me.

My grandfather, right at 42 seconds, says (I believe) "They're doing pretty good. Got two little girls Mary Lou and Ruthie got a cold, but Allen and Susan..."

Mary Lou and Susan are my aunts and Allen is my uncle and they're my mother's siblings, and of course, her name is Ruth.

My grandfather had promised he'd say all of their names. :)
