In six weeks, I felt like I'd
worked in a restaurant all my life.
:34:52
In three months, I was one
of the best waitresses there.
:34:54
I took tips and was glad to get them.
:34:57
And at home I baked pies
for the restaurant.
:34:59
Those'll be done in minutes.
We have a dozen peach, a dozen berry...
:35:04
...a dozen pumpkin, a dozen cherry.
After we finish the apple, we can quit.
:35:08
l don't know how you keep it up.
Honest, l don't.
:35:12
l sleep all morning, but you go to
that restaurant and work and work.
:35:16
Just like you been sleeping all night,
only you ain't.

-Beg pardon?

I was doing fine.
:35:29
I was able to afford an expensive
singing teacher for Veda...
:35:33
...and a good dancing school for Kay.
:35:35
One thing worried me. That some day
Veda would find out I was a waitress.
:35:40
-Good afternoon.
-Everything go all right?
:35:43
-l had a busy day today.
-That's good.
:35:47
-Where did you get that uniform?
-Miss Veda.
:35:50
She makes me wear it in case
l have to answer the doorbell.
:35:53
Miss Veda gave it to you?
:35:55
l told her you wouldn't like it.
l told her right off.
:35:59
But she hollered and went on,
so l put it on just to keep her quiet.
