They built a lot of houses.
Suddenly, everybody stopped buying.
:19:05
-The boom was over.
-Yes?
:19:07
Then one day they split up.
Wally was in and Bert was out.
:19:11
They weren't partners anymore.
:19:13
That day when Bert came home,
he was out of a job.
:19:16
-Here's the mail for you, Mr. Pierce.
-Thanks, Jack.
:19:19
-Have you got a change-of-address card?
-Why, yes.
:19:23
Thank you.
:19:26
We lived on Corvalis Street
where all the houses looked alike.
:19:30
Ours was number 1 1 43.
:19:32
I was always in the kitchen.
:19:34
I felt as though I'd lived
in a kitchen all my life...
:19:38
...except for the few hours
it took to get married.
:19:41
-That you, Bert?
-Yeah. Who else?
:19:44
-l thought it might be Mrs. Whitley.
-Well, it isn't.
:19:48
I married Bert when I was 1 7.
I never knew any other kind of life.
:19:51
Just cooking and washing
and having children.
:19:54
Two girls, Veda and Kay.
:20:02
l pressed your pants. You might want
to see McLary about that sales job.
:20:05
lt'd be nice if you left me alone once.
When the time comes, l'll get a job.
:20:10
l know you will, Bert.
l was just trying to help.
:20:18
Good afternoon.
Package from E. Langlin.
:20:24
-Thank you.
-Thank you.
:20:28
-What's that?
-A dress.
:20:29
For Veda?
:20:30
l thought so.
Where'd you get the money?
:20:33
Making cakes and pies
for the neighbors. l earned it.
:20:36
Right, throw it up to me that
l can't support my own family.
:20:39
l don't say half as much as most women
would say with nothing but bills to pay.
:20:43
There'd be less bills if you didn't
raise the kids like l was a millionaire.
:20:48
No wonder they're so fresh
and stuck up. That Veda.
:20:51
l'm so fed up with her high-hatting me,
one of these days l'll slap her face.
:20:56
Bert, if you ever dare
touch Veda, l'll--
