Hey, Bud.
:46:42
"Katie Duane, born Ohio." No date.
:46:47
"Married Bass Elder,
September 8th, 1850,"
:46:52
"Clearwater, Texas."
:46:56
_ We'd better keep this.
_ Why? Let's raffle it off.
:47:00
We'll give half the money
to the parson.
:47:02
I think we ought
to get her a nice stone for her grave.
:47:07
A big stone with nice writing on it.
:47:09
_ What do you call it?
_ A monument. Do you think so, John?
:47:12
_ She'd like that.
_ Why buy a hunk of stone?
:47:16
Because there ought to be
something to remember her by.
:47:20
The Ridders got their mother
an angel with her finger pointing up.
:47:23
_ At who?
_ Nobody!
:47:26
_ All right, then, an angel.
_ Does it have to be an angel?
:47:29
Besides, some kid
shot the angel's finger off,
:47:32
and it looked like
she was shaking her fist.
:47:35
_ We'll get a marble lamb!
_ How about a horse?
:47:39
_ A horse? For a grave?
_ Ma loved horses.
:47:43
How'd you like to have a marble horse
on top of you for the rest of eternity?
:47:47
_ What's happened to all of us?
_ You said she'd like a monument.
:47:52
Yeah, but not that kind. She wanted
one of us to amount to something.
:47:57
She sure drew a flat blank zero!
:47:59
Not if Bud goes back to school.
That's the kind of monument she wants.
