Why...
:57:02
...don't they stay beautifuI after my age?
:57:05
It may be different for you.
:57:08
I think it wiII, AIice. You deserve it.
:57:13
No, I don't deserve anything.
:57:15
I know it. It's just that...
:57:19
...I'm pretty happy these days.
:57:26
I don't mean....
:57:27
I wasn't meaning to teII you
that I'm engaged.

:57:31
We're not.
:57:33
It's just that...
:57:37
...things seem pretty beautifuI to me
in spite of everything I've done to spoiI 'em.

:57:41

He's so honestIy what he is.
:57:53
I feeI Iike a tricky mess beside him.
:57:56
I don't know why he Iikes me.
:57:59
Sometimes I'm afraid he wouIdn't
if he knew me.

:58:01
Why, he'd just worship you.
:58:07
-But what do you want it for?
-I've got to have it.

:58:10
But what for? Can't you teII me what for?
:58:13
I've got to have it.
:58:14
You've got to have it.
:58:16
You seem to think just saying that
wiII bring in the money, $150.

:58:21
-Haven't you got that much?
-No, I haven't.

:58:24
You know I've sunk every cent
I've ever saved into this factory.

:58:27
And even what I couId raise on the house.
:58:30
What's the idea
coming to me for money, anyhow?

:58:33
You've got a job, haven't you?
:58:38
Not that you'II have it Iong.
:58:40
Mr. Lamb'II fire you as soon as he finds out
you're stiII there...

:58:44
...after what I've done.
:58:47
He knows I'm there, aII right.
He taIked to me yesterday.

:58:51
What did he say?
:58:52
Just asked me
how my work was getting on.

:58:56
Look here, Pa, are you going to do anything
about that $150?
