Ma! Just because she's going out
with Mr. Porter Hollingsway...

1:00:13
does she have to stay in the bathroom
for almost an hour?

1:00:15
You oughtn't to run around like that.
You'll get consumption.

1:00:18
Lora Mae, let your sister
get in the bathroom!

1:00:20
After all, I've got a date,
too, a respectable date.

1:00:23
- That's your sister you're talking about.
- I don't care.

1:00:25
I think it's disgusting.
He's 35 if he's a day.

1:00:28
I wish I was that
disgusting again.

1:00:30
- Your sister knows what she's doing.
- They all know what they're doing.

1:00:33
They're always going to wind up
being supervisors or buyers or something.

1:00:37
Well, Porter Hollingsway
knows what he's doing too.

1:00:39
Lora Mae, didn't you hear
what Ma said?

1:00:42
And how do you think I feel
having my friends talk about my sister?

1:00:45
Your sister's a decent girl,
like I hope you are.

1:00:48
And there's nothing wrong
in going out with the boss...

1:00:50
- if it'll bring a couple of bucks into the house.
- Nothing wrong?

1:00:53
- No, nothing wrong.
- Then she'll wind up with
a steak dinner and that's all.

1:00:56
Are you looking
for another smack?

1:00:58
Ma, will you please
make her get out?

1:01:00
- Oh, all right. Lora Mae...
- Yes, Mother?

1:01:04
You don't own that bathroom, you know.
There's other people in this house.

1:01:07
But you're such a quiet little thing, dear,
one never knows you're about.

1:01:12
I still think it's disgusting.
1:01:15
How do I look?
1:01:17
If I was you,
I'd show more of what I got.

1:01:20
- Maybe wear something with beads.
- What I got don't need beads.

1:01:23
What's your new job gonna be,
something secret, like a spy?

1:01:26
Something you can't
talk about in the office?

1:01:28
All right, so I'm gonna disgrace
the fair name of Finney.

1:01:30
Wait till it snows and throw me
out in the street.

1:01:32
I'm beginning to think your sister's right.
And to think a daughter of mine...

1:01:35
- How many payments are you
behind on that icebox?
- Not for all the iceboxes.

1:01:38
They can come and take it away, though heaven
knows it's one of the few joys I have in life.

1:01:42
They're not gonna take it away,
and I know what I'm doing.

1:01:44
Remember, you're my daughter
and a decent girl.

1:01:47
Come on, Ruby, lay off her.
1:01:50
- It's him.
- I guess so.

1:01:53
- Have you got everything? Where's your purse?
- Right there.

1:01:56
He's out in front
in a car a block long.

1:01:59
- Well, what are you waiting for?
- Relax.
