:07:04
Mom!
:07:05
Yes, Neeley?
:07:06
Mom, if there was a rule about
something,

:07:09
that doesn't mean you couldn't do
something else once in a while...

:07:12
Neeley, you cannot have any of those
pennies to buy an ice cream cone.

:07:15
They go in the bank the same as
usual. Bring them in here, Neeley.

:07:18
Half of everything we get goes into
that bank.

:07:23
Thas the way it is and thas the
way is going to be.

:07:24
Now put them in there.
:07:26
Gosh, l bet we got about a hundred
dollars in that old bank by now.

:07:28
Nine's more like it.
:07:32
Mama! Mama! They're cutting the tree.
:07:39
Oh, thas too bad.
:07:41
That was kind of pretty there with
the bird sitting in it sometimes.

:07:44
Papa loved that tree.
:07:46
Aw, quit mooning over it. lt got in
the way of the washing.

:07:49
Tree ain't gonna put no pennies in
the bank.

:07:52
Mr. Barker. Get out the good cup
and saucer and give it a wipe.

:07:58
And Francie,
:07:59
you can stay in the room if you want
to while Mr. Barker is here.

:08:04
How do you do, Mr. Barker?
:08:05
How do you do, Francie?
:08:06
Mommy is temporarily detained but
will join you directly.

:08:09
Hello, Neeley.
- Hello.

:08:10
l might fancy you get manners right
out of the book.

:08:12
And company or no company,
Mrs. Nolan always looks the lady.

:08:16
You should see some of my people.
:08:18
Even ladies with husbands that work
steady.

:08:20
Won't you go. into the parlor and
have a cup of coffee?

:08:23
That l will. And your hospitality is
very kind, Mrs. Nolan.

:08:26
Well, old man Gentry is off to jail
again.

:08:29
Oh, thas too bad.
:08:30
But she's keeping up his insurance,
just the same.

:08:32
And here's ours. Ten cents for me,
ten cents for Mr. Nolan,

:08:36
a nickel for each of the
children.

:08:37
And you'll never regret it, Mrs.
Nolan.

:08:39
A fine funeral for every member of
the family, heaven forbid.

:08:41
And now your weekly receipts,
Mrs. Nolan.

:08:44
Now, there's one party, not very far
from here, l wouldn't like to say who

:08:47
that didn't get any receipts
this week.

:08:49
And naming no names, l will say that
is a family that the angel of

:08:52
death has marked on his invitation
list, heaven forbid.

:08:55
Henny says his sister's got one foot
in the grave.

:08:57
Neeley!
:08:59
lll mean problems for you, most
likely. And thank you, Francie.
