- Where'd you get it?
- It belonged to my grandmother.

:47:07
Play it again?
How do you wind it?

:47:10
I'm starved. Bring it in the kitchen,
and I'll show you how.

:47:28
- This tastes real good.
- I'm glad you like it. Nothing special.

:47:33
Maybe it's because we're sharing it.
It's great, eating and talking. Man!

:47:38
Most of the time, I have the radio on,
but you can't talk to the radio.

:47:57
It sounds so gentle.
:48:00
I bet your grandmother
was just like that.

:48:03
Sweet and gentle.
:48:05
- What was her name?
- It was Pearl.

:48:08
Well, that suits her.
I had a friend called Pearl once.

:48:12
She used to come to the room
and play with me.

:48:15
We had a lot of fun together.
We was great buddies.

:48:18
- Not anymore?
- No. Rose-Ann, she put a stop to that.

:48:22
What for?
:48:23
She came home early one day
and raised hell.

:48:27
- What were you up to?
- Nothing much.

:48:31
She got mad because Pearl was colored.
You know, black.

:48:35
She said I couldn't ever
have a black friend.

:48:41
Did you ask her why?
:48:43
When she gets going, you don't bother
about why. You just keep out of the way.

:48:49
Pity Pearl was colored.
:48:52
Anyhow, she never came no more.
:48:56
When was this?
:48:59
Long time ago.
