:25:07
Get your filthy bug out of my dough.
:25:09
The spuds is covered with them.
I can't pick everyone off single-handed.
:25:13
And milk, and plow,
and blast stones without any help.
:25:17
- Don't blame me.
- I'm not blaming you, I'm only telling you.
:25:20
I suppose you want me to pull the plow.
:25:22
I suppose I'm not doing my share, cooking,
and mending, and baking, and spinning.
:25:26
- Who helps me?
- You got the Dummy.
:25:29
A fine lot of help, that one.
:25:31
All the grand ideas that doctor
has been putting into her head.
:25:35
Filling her up with fancy notions.
:25:38
You know what she was doing
instead of feeding the hogs?
:25:41
Brushing her hair.
:25:43
That's not fair to me.
I'm doing the work of six.
:25:47
What's this I hear about you
loafing all day? There's work to do.
:26:05
Aggie, did you see that?
She knew what I was saying.
:26:08
Oh, tosh.
:26:09
She can hear. Belinda, come here!
:26:14
- I tell you she understands, woman.
- You're wandering in your head.
:26:18
- But she came when I called her.
- She was reading your lips.
:26:22
She's been a very good pupil.
:26:25
Belinda, how do you say hello to a friend?
:26:31
That's right.
:26:33
"I am happy to see you."
:26:36
And I'm happy to see you.
:26:38
- Telling me she can talk that way?
- Of course.
:26:41
We've been studying
from a book of signs...
:26:44
which were devised by a Frenchman
a couple of hundred years ago...
:26:47
the Abbe de L'Epee, he was a priest.
:26:49
See, each word has its own sign.
For instance, there's "man."
:26:53
The sign is this: touching the hat brim.
:26:56
- And what would "woman" be?
- This. Comes from a bonnet string.
