290139th Street, Harlem"?
:14:06
Yes, honey, I sure am.
And you must be Sadie's girl.

:14:09
Yes, ma'am. I am.
:14:10
Well, the good Lord's
delivered you safe and sound.

:14:14
My mama told me to say thank you
for taking me in.

:14:16
And she told me also to tell you...
:14:18
that you have
the best rooming house in Harlem...

:14:21
and that I ain't supposed to be lazy
and I supposed to work real, real hard.

:14:25
Well, now,
that's a fine spirit you got, honey.

:14:29
And I want you to
just make yourself right at home.

:14:33
Okay.
:14:34
Rest your things. Look around.
I'll be right back.

:14:38
That's a fine young girl.
:15:25
Well, now, honey, I'll show you
my whole place, upstairs and down.

:15:28
I don't want to see the upstairs,
Miss Edson...

:15:30
'cause my Mama told me
you had a job for me as a cleaner.

:15:33
And that's what I got, missy.
:15:35
I mean, you're the one
with other things on your mind.

:15:38
Wishful thinking, I call it.
'Cause, girl, let's face it...

:15:42
you got a long way to go...
:15:44
before you can earn $2
for just 10 minutes of your time...

:15:47
or ain't you looked at yourself lately?
