: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?

:59:00
No, I'm not.
:59:01
I haven't got 150 cents, Iet aIone doIIars.
:59:05
What do you think I am, a mint?
:59:12
AII right.
:59:14
I don't see as you
ever did very much for me, anyhow.

:59:21
You know, I think it's time your father
and I showed some interest in Mr. RusseII.

:59:26
Why, I actuaIIy don't beIieve
he's ever been inside the house.

:59:29
I know he hasn't.
:59:31
We aIways stayed out here on the porch.
It's so much nicer.

:59:33
I was thinking we couIdn't wait much
Ionger to ask him to dinner or something.

:59:38
Mother, must we?
:59:39
Don't you see, AIice,
it seems so queer not to do something.

:59:43
It Iooks so kind of poverty-stricken.
:59:47
AII right. I'II ask him,
if you think I've got to.

:59:51
We couId get that coIored woman,
MaIena Burns, to wait on tabIe.

:59:55
She goes out for the day, you know.
And then we'd have a nice dinner.

:59:58
Something reaI styIish.
