:11:01
Coons is clean, now lie down, boy.
:11:05
A coon knows how to take care
of himself, don't he?
:11:09
Most animals take care of themselves.
Now get to bed!
:11:13
- What's this talk about coons?
- Don't know.
:11:16
Did I tell you I seen
a coon today, Pa?
:11:19
Yes, you told me.
Now go to sleep, boy!
:11:23
Did I tell you she had
a couple of babies?
:11:26
Yes, you told me that too.
:11:29
If Ma had seen them baby coons,
she'd love them.
:11:32
We won't have no coons here.
:11:35
What about a bear cub then? If I
should find myself one. Or a possum?
:11:39
I'd love to have a baby fox
or a baby panther.
:11:43
But I just gotta have me a pet.
We got milk aplenty.
:11:46
You think we got milk aplenty?
There ain't an extra drop.
:11:50
- It could have mine!
- You're spindly enough as it is.
:11:55
How can we spare rations for critters?
We can barely keep our bellies full.
:12:02
I just want something all my own.
:12:05
Something to follow me and be mine.
Something with dependence to it.
:12:10
Well, you'll not find that nowhere.
:12:13
Not in the animal world
nor in the world of man.
:12:16
Going on 12 and still wanting
some kind of a play dolly.
:12:20
Pa was doing his man's share
of work at your age.
:12:24
Stop pestering and get to bed
afore I take a brush to you.
:12:31
Yes'm.
:12:33
Good night.
:12:36
- Good night, Pa.
- Good night, son.
:12:44
Seems like you get mighty hard
on the boy at times, Ora.
:12:48
Let him tend to work.
Always running off...
:12:51
...wanting to bring critters back.
:12:53
Well, a boy ain't a boy too long.
:12:56
Leave him kick up his heels a little.
Day will come, he won't even want to.
