From: CanuckDaysfan (Original Message) Sent: 6/7/2007 5:27 PM So I was strolling through some transcripts and happened to notice this convo. It's like a neon sign flashing, so of course I looked it up. http://tvmegasite.net/day/days/transcripts...-06-01-07.shtml Nick: So, uh, how'd you get the name "Jett"? Is it like airplane 'cause what a crazy coincidence. Chelsea: No, Jett has two Ts, Nick. Jett: That's okay. People make that mistake all the time. I was actually named after a character in a movie. Nick: Would I know it? Jett: Um, maybe if you're into old movies. Chelsea: Oh, yeah, he is, actually. Why don't you go ahead and tell Jett about your two favorites? "Shane" and "Patton." Nick: Funny. Chelsea: It was just a joke. Nick: Uh, what was the name? Jett: "Giant." Nick: Oh, my god. I love that movie. It's like one of my favorites. It's Jett rink. He's an oil billionaire. James dean. Chelsea: I love James Dean. Nick: Yeah, well, he only made three movies. It was "east of Eden," "rebel without a cause," and "giant," which was definitely my favorite. Chelsea: Okay, thank you, Mr. IMDb. Nick: I was just explaining -- Jett: I don't know anything about the movies myself. My mom just thought it was a cool name. [ Cellphone ringing ] Nick: Well, basically, it's like this guy who -- Chelsea: Okay, we get it. You liked the movie. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Plot summary for Giant (1956) Texan rancher Bick Benedict visits a Maryland farm to buy a prize horse. Whilst there he meets and falls in love with the owner's daughter Leslie, they are married immediately and return to his ranch. The story of their family and its rivalry with cowboy and (later oil tycoon) Jett Rink unfolds across two generations. Written by Col Needham {col@imdb.com} Ambitious Texas-style scale epic that traces the rising and falling fortunes of two generations of Texans, thus allowing makeup artists to enable Elizabeth Taylor, Rock Hudson, and James Dean to grow old before our eyes. Miscegenation, moral dissipation, racism, the oppression of women....a variety of topics are brought forth during the film's 201-minute running time. The core of the film is actually the relationship between Bick Benedict (Hudson) and his wife Leslie (Taylor). It is through them that we follow the film's themes of generation, conflict and social change. However, it is Jett Rink (Dean) whom audiences remember, particularly in the early scenes when he is striding out on his small piece of land or when he comes to tell Benedict that "my well came in big." He puts his oily hand on one of the white columns of Benedict's porch and, unemphatically, director George Stevens instantly crystallizes the theme of the film - the muddy thumb prints of materialism on the pillars of elegance and the coming of conflict between the aristocracy and the nouveau riche. "you should have shot that fella a long time ago," a friend says to Benedict about Jett Rink. "Now he's too rich to kill." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Call me crazy, but that sounds like Lumi w/Elvis First Previous 2 of 2 Next Last Delete Replies Reply Recommend Delete Message 2 of 2 in Discussion From: HenryRMac Sent: 6/7/2007 5:47 PM all this says to me ,,,,,,,, is this isn't who he will end up ,,,,,,, this is a movie name (stage name) ,,,,,,, much like Elvis isn't really that person's name either ,,,,,,, these are all susrrogate names ,,,,,,,, LOL ,,,,,,, something to call them while we see his background history ,,,,,,,,, I don't think we will see that much of him right now ,,,,,,, but if he is reliving his father's past ,,,,,, or his own birth ,,,,,,, then I would think he is related to someone in New Salem ,,,,,,,,,, and not who they claim he is now ,,,,,,,, for the record I think they are going to make Lexie ,,,,,, Abe and Celeste's daughter ,,,,,,,,, and TEK is either Abe's son or he is Abe's brother Theo ,,,,,,,, this is just a guess here ,,,,,,,
