A Mighty Wind (2/10) Movie CLIP - The Bohners (2003) HD

Uh, I've come to understand as an adult—

with the help of Laurie,
my beautiful wife—

that there had been abuse in my family,

but it was mostly musical in nature.

My father used to lock me away in a
room with nothing but the, uh,

Percy Faith recording
of "Bim! Bam!! Boom!!!"

and then send me to bed
with nothing but dessert.

And one of the records he put me in
there with was "Sunny Side Up,"

Main Street Singers, 1968.

And I tell you, my head opened up,
my heart opened up.

I listened to that record over
and over and over.

I knew right and left
and every way to Sunday.

I feel like I knew those people.

And I wanted to be in that group
so badly that,

at the age of 8 years old,

I went down into the basement
and I made cardboard cutouts

of everybody in the group so that
I could sing along with them

and be one of them.

These were my friends,

and they were made out of a gin boxes.

It's odd, that, you know, Laurie
came from such a different—

Right, a completely different path.

I was brought up in a very small town
just south of the Chicago city limits,

and just far enough away to have
been peopled with pure,

unadulterated white trash.

And because I was one of so many children,

I don't believe that anyone noticed
when I blew town at 15

and ended up in San Francisco, California.

And it's at this point in my story
that the dark clouds part,

because I met a certain Mr. Wiseman,
who gave me a job in his shop.

And before long, he tapped me to do
some small roles

in some of his short films for more
mature audiences.

And before long I had landed,
if you will, some leads.

And then I started to do some cameos.

Well, I was known for doing a certain
thing that many of the other girls

wouldn't do.

And of course, I love to sing,
ever since I was a little girl.

And I learned to play the ukulele in
one of my last films, uh,

"Not-So-Tiny Tim."

And based on that, my world opened up,

because I was invited to join the
reformed New Main Street Singers.

And that's where I met my man.

And before long,
I was the new Mrs. Bohner.

[both laughing]

Isn't that somethin'?

Beautiful story.
