Papa'd just get through
paying for the thresher...
:20:04
in time to start paying
on the new separator.
:20:06
Till I was 13, a bus took me three miles
that way to grammar school.
:20:10
Till I was 17, another bus took me
11 miles that way to high school.
:20:14
And after that, I stayed home.
:20:16
Till one day I took a bus
58 miles that way...
:20:18
to join the navy
and see the worid.
:20:22
And meet Brad "Bripaship."
:20:25
Fall in love
and marry Brad "Bripaship."
:20:31
Why not?
:20:34
"Why not?" I said to myself. I was quite a girl
in the navy. Head of my class. Hooray for me.
:20:39
And pretty cute in that uniform.
:20:41
That uniform...
it's the great "leveleller."
:20:46
You couldn't tell me
from Vassar or Smith or Long Island.
:20:49
That was the girl in the picture on the piano.
That isn't me. This is me.
:20:56
What do you people talk about?
:20:58
Years of growing up together. Thousands
of first names and private memories.
:21:02
How do I fit in? Running a house,
making friends, filling the day.
:21:05
Mrs. Bradbury Bishop.
"What's she like?"
:21:08
"Fun to be with, smart as a whip,
pretty too.
:21:10
No wonder Brad Bishop married her,
the lucky stiff."
:21:12
Rita, look at me.
Look at my mail-order dress...
:21:15
that's four years old
and awful even then.
:21:17
What am I gonna do?
:21:22
As if that really mattered.
:21:24
You must think we're
an awful bunch of snobs.
:21:29
Aren't you underestimating us
a little bit and Brad even more?
:21:32
You know, it's just possible
he knew what he wanted and you had it.
:21:35
And if you had it, you still got it.
:21:39
I can't hear you. Sit up.
:21:42
I said, "Thank you
for the kind words."
:21:45
You're welcome.
Now, about the dress.
:21:48
- Haven't you anything else?
- Only uniforms.
:21:51
Oh. Well, stand up.
:21:55
- The flowers must go.
- Flowers must go.
:21:58
Have you any scissors?
