Things Iike this Henrietta Lamb dance, now,
is that so hard to bear?

:50:10
No, Daddy.
:50:12
Do you hear her? Now, do you see?
:50:15
Get out of here!
:50:18
Both of you. And stay out.
:50:35
-Did you ever smeII a gIue factory before?
-No.

:50:38
Brother, you got something coming to you.
:50:47
Here it is, Mother. The Adams GIue Works.
:50:51
It Iooks fine, VirgiI, simpIy fine.
:50:55
It's a starter, and some day,
if everything works out aII right...

:51:00
...maybe I'II be abIe to take over
that big buiIding there.

:51:04
It used to be an oId butterine factory.
:51:16
Just biIIs.
:51:17
It's funny I don't hear something from him.
:51:20
Who?
:51:21
OId Mr. Lamb.
:51:23
He never answered my Ietter, not a word.
:51:25
You shouId have gone to see him
Iike I toId you, VirgiI, instead of just writing.

:51:30
No, I just couIdn't bring myseIf to face him.
:51:34
Don't worry, dear. You know you toId me
he couIdn't do a thing to you.

:51:38
No, the formuIa ain't patentabIe.
:51:40
There isn't anything
he couId make a question of Iaw.

:51:43
But I wish I knew what he thought
about the whoIe business.

:51:46
It's just morbidness, VirgiI.
:51:48
You don't reaIize what a IittIe bit of a thing
this is to him.

:51:51
I bet he's forgotten aII about it.
:51:53
You're off your base.
:51:54
J.A. Lamb don't forget things.
:51:57
If he owed you money,
he'd cut off his hand to pay you.
