: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.
:21:01
And make me a little garden
out in back.
:21:04
But none of it happened.
:21:10
Big Walter used to
come in some nights.
:21:12
And he'd slump down there
on that big couch.
:21:15
And he'd look at that rug
and he'd look at me.
:21:18
He'd look at that rug
and he'd look back up at me.
:21:20
And I knew he was down then.
Really down.
:21:24
When we lost that baby...
:21:27
...I thought we was going to
lose Big Walter too.
:21:30
That man grieved himself so.
:21:32
Honey, he was one man
to love his children.
:21:34
Ain't nothing can tear at you
like losing your baby.
:21:37
I think that's why that man finally
worked himself to death.
:21:41
Like he was fighting his own war...
:21:43
...with this world that took
his baby from him.
:21:47
Crazy about his children.
:21:49
God knows there was plenty
wrong with Walter Younger.
:21:52
Mean.
:21:53
Hardheaded.
:21:56
Kind of wild with women.
Plenty wrong with him.
:21:59
But he sure loved his children.
