:09:00
Isn't that the funniest thing?
Here I am, practically a child
:09:03
and I wouldn't read the things you read.
:09:05
Mm-hm. Well, I guess
they'd give you bad dreams.
:09:08
Bad dreams? You don't understand, Papa.
Mystery stories have done -
:09:12
- Where's Roger?
- Out. The average mind -
:09:14
- Where's Charlie?
- Out. No, she's in her room thinking.
:09:18
Well, don't read too much.
You'll ruin your eyes.
:09:21
And leave my book alone.
What's that you're reading?
:09:24
- lvanhoe.
- Hm? Oh.
:09:31
(Soft Knocking)
:09:32
- Who is it?
- It's me.
:09:39
What's the matter?
Don't you feel well?
:09:42
No. I'm perfectly well.
:09:44
I've Just been thinking for hours,
and I've come to the conclusion I give up.
:09:49
- l simply give up.
- What are you going to give up?
:09:51
Have you ever to thought that a family
should be the most wonderful thing ever?
:09:55
And that this family's
Just gone to pieces?
:09:57
- We have?
- Of course we have.
:10:00
We Just sort of go along and
nothing happens. We're in a terrible rut.
:10:05
It's been on my mind for months.
What's going to be our future?
:10:10
Oh, come now, Charlie.
Things aren't as bad as that.
:10:13
- The bank gave me a raise last January.
- Money.
:10:16
How can you talk about money
when I'm talking about souls?
:10:20
We eat and sleep and that's about all.
:10:23
We don't even have
any real conversations.
:10:25
- We just talk.
- And work.
:10:27
Yes. Poor Mother. She works like a dog.
:10:31
- Just like a dog.
- Where is she ?
:10:34
She's out. When she comes back,
it'll be the same thing.
:10:38
Dinner, then dishes, then bed.
I don't see how she stands it.
:10:44
You know,
she's really a wonderful woman.
:10:46
I mean, she's not Just a mother. And
I think we ought to do something for her.
:10:51
- Don ' t you think we should ?
- Yeah. What were you thinking of?
:10:54
Oh, nothing, I suppose.
:10:58
I guess we'll Just have to wait
for a miracle or something.
