Don't tell me that glib
Tony Willett's at a loss for words.

1:08:07
Well, Annie, my girl,
I'm afraid you're right.

1:08:16
I hope you'll think
I was right, too, Tim,

1:08:19
and that someday you'll be
interested in reading this diary.

1:08:23
And I hope you won't be
too shocked when you hear

1:08:25
that I'm actually training
for work in a shipyard.

1:08:29
Yes, tremendous changes
have taken place

1:08:31
in the pampered woman
who was your wife.

1:08:34
It's hard even for me to realize
I'm studying to be a lady welder.

1:08:38
And doing very nicely,
so it seems.

1:08:41
Oh, Tim, I love it so,
1:08:43
and I have such admiration
for all these people.

1:08:45
There's one woman
I can't wait for you to meet.

1:08:48

because she thinks I helped her
1:08:56
through a most awful
and tragic Ioneliness.

1:08:59
I wish my little boy had lived
so he could have seen America.

1:09:03
I used to read to him
about it every night

1:09:06
when the shades were drawn
1:09:08
and the sound of heavy boots
marching down the street

1:09:12
made my poor little Janka shake
1:09:15
until I thought
his bones would crack.

1:09:20
And then we'd pray together
1:09:22
that God would let us go to the
fairyland across the sea.

1:09:29
If only he could have been with me
the day I went all by myself

1:09:32
to the Statue of Liberty
1:09:34
and read what it says there
for the whole world to see.

1:09:38
Do you know it?
1:09:39
Anne Hilton, did you ever read it?
1:09:42
No. I'm sorry to say,
I don't know it.

1:09:45
I'll never forget it.
1:09:49
I know it so well here

1:09:54
