: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.
:49:01
I was only 9,
but I miss Pearl a lot.
:49:06
She was my only friend until now.
:49:08
She used to teach me things too.
:49:12
Everybody ought to have a friend.
:49:17
Go on, tell me about your grandmother.
Where'd she get the music box?
:49:21
It was a present.
:49:25
- From a man?
- That's right.
:49:27
- Did he marry her?
- No, he didn't.
:49:30
Why not?
:49:32
I don't know why not.
I don't know all the details.
:49:37
You see, my grandmother was...
:49:39
Yes, go on!
:49:41
The man was from a different world.
He was very rich and important.
:49:46
- And she?
- She was just a beautiful woman.
:49:50
- Tell me more.
- I don't know anymore.
:49:52
You must know some more.
:49:55
The man?
:49:56
He was her lover?
:49:59
- Yes?
- Yes, they were lovers.
