A small town somewhere in the Southwest. A diner. A bar. A tortoise named President Roosevelt. Milk. Coffee. Bloody Marys. A pet store. A grocery store. Some crickets. A fiesta. Crossword puzzles. Game shows. A joint. Liberace. Saguaros. A memory of World War Two. A bony old cowboy shuffling toward the abyss, but in no special hurry to get there, trailing a cloud of cigarette smoke. The singular, oddball greatness of Harry Dean Stanton.
