The Straight Story (1999)
In director David Lynch's atypical drama and classic
road film:
- the low-key reunion scene between 73 year-old Iowan
widower Alvin Straight (Richard Farnsworth) - after a long 6-week
ride across Iowa and into neighboring Wisconsin on his lawn mower/tractor
- and his 75 year-old sick estranged brother Lyle (Harry Dean Stanton)
on the front porch
- the only exchange of dialogue between the brothers:
Lyle: "Sit down, Alvin. (Did) you ride that thing all the way
out here to see me?"
Alvin:
"I did, Lyle."
