Ten thousand dollars.
:19:08
Sure is wonderful.
:19:12
Ten thousand dollars.
:19:15
You know what you should do,
Miss Lena?

:19:18
You should take a trip somewhere.
:19:20
To Europe or South America someplace.
:19:22
Just pack up and leave.
:19:24
Go on away.
Enjoy yourself some.

:19:26
Forget about the family.
:19:28
Have yourself a ball
for once in your life.

:19:31
What would I look like wandering
all over Europe by myself?

:19:33
Shoot! These here rich white women
do it all the time.

:19:36
They pack their suitcases...
:19:38
...and pile on a steamship,
and swoosh! They gone, child.

:19:42
Something always told me I wasn't
no rich white woman.

:19:51
What are you going to do
with it then?

:19:54
Well, I...
:19:56
...ain't rightly decided.
:19:58
Some of it's got to be put away
for Beneatha's medical schooling.

:20:01
And ain't nothing going to touch
that part of it. Not nothing.

:20:05
Then I...
:20:06
...been thinking,
just thinking, mind you...

:20:09
...that we could meet the notes
on a two-story somewhere.

:20:13
With a back yard
where Travis could play.

:20:16
If we used part of the money
for a down payment...

:20:18
...and everybody pitch in...
:20:20
...I could take on a little work again
a few days a week.

:20:22
Lord knows we put enough rent
into this rattrap...

:20:25
...to pay for four houses by now.
:20:27
Rattrap?
:20:31
Well, I...
:20:32
...expect that's about all it is.
:20:36
But I remember the first day
me and Big Walter moved in here.

:20:40
We hadn't been married
but two weeks.

:20:42
And we wasn't planning
on living here more than a year.

:20:45
We was going to set away
a little by little...

:20:48
...and buy us a little old
two-story out in Morgan Park.

:20:51
We'd even picked out the house.
:20:53
Looks right dumpy today.
:20:55
But, child, you should have known
all them dreams I had...

:20:58
...about buying me that house
and then fixing it up.
