:03:02
- So I could fly my kite.
- What made you think that?
:03:06
'Cause the sky's so white.
Hey... why ain't you in school?
:03:10
I quituated. They started on algebra.
I didn't care what X stood for, so I quit.
:03:16
You ain't gonna get an education
walking a railroad track.
:03:20
You ain't from flying a kite neither.
:03:22
Besides, what a girl needs
to get along is social training.
:03:27
I learned that from Alva. She was
mighty popular with the railroad men.
:03:32
- Train engineers?
- Engineers!
:03:35
Engineers, firemen, brakemen,
conductors, the freight superintendent,
:03:40
every one of them after Alva.
:03:43
She was, I guess you might say,
the main attraction.
:03:48
Beautiful? Jeez!
:03:54
Boy, you see that house over yonder?
:03:57
- We had some high old times in there.
- I'll bet you did.
:04:01
Musical instruments going all the time.
Piano, victrola, Hawaiian steel guitar...
:04:08
Everybody playing on something.
It's awful quiet now, though.
:04:13
- Is it empty?
- Except for me.
:04:15
They got a big sign stuck up.
"This property is condemned".
:04:21
- You ain't still living there?
- I'm not supposed to be, but I am.
:04:26
Property's condemned,
but there ain't nothing wrong with it.
:04:30
Some welfare worker came yesterday.
I recognised her by the shape of her hat.
:04:36
It was something, all right.
You wouldn't believe it.
:04:41
Sure is empty now, though.
:04:44
- Boy, see these clothes I got on?
- Yeah.
:04:47
They're Alva's. Inherited from her.
Everything that was Alva's is mine.
:04:53
She was always singing around
that house. This is her favourite song.
:04:58
Wish me a rainbow and wish me a star
