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--

:21:02
All right. All right.
:21:05
You're trying to buy love from them,
and it won't work.

:21:08
l make enough to get by,
but no, that isn't good enough.

:21:11
Veda needs a piano, lessons
and fancy dresses...

:21:13
...so she can smirk her way through
a piece a talented 5-year-old could play.

:21:17
Veda has talent.
Just ask any of the neighbors.

:21:21
She plays the piano like l shoot pool.
:21:23
And Kay, a nice, normal kid who wants
to skip rope and play baseball.

:21:27
But she has ballet lessons. She has to
be a ballerina so you can feel proud.

:21:31
All right. What of it?
:21:33
What if l do want them
to amount to something?

:21:35
l'd do anything for those kids,
understand? Anything.

:21:38
-You can't do their crying for them.
-l'll do that too.

:21:41
-They'll never cry if l can help it.
-There's something wrong.

:21:45
l don't know what. l'm not smart
that way. But l know it isn't right to--

:21:54
-Hello?
-I just wanted to know if--

:21:56
Yes? Yes, he is.
:21:59
-Who's calling?
-Mrs. Biederhof.
