I knew it was a lie.
I thought she figured it was a lie, too.

1:25:05
But she took me serious.
She told me she loved me, too.

1:25:10
And she meant it.
1:25:13
We bummed around the country...
1:25:16
broke most of the time.
1:25:17
We even worked
the fruit harvest for awhile.

1:25:21
Lived in some...
1:25:23
flophouses and migrant labor shacks.
1:25:27
It was all right.
1:25:28
It was more than all right.
1:25:32
I was happier than I think I've ever been
before in my life.

1:25:36
Before or since.
1:25:41
What happened?
1:25:45
I got tired of it, I guess.
1:25:48
I started wondering what I was doing
with this raw-boned Okie girl...

1:25:53
thinking about all the women
that were hanging around the bars...

1:25:57
that I worked in.
1:25:59
I told her I felt we'd made a mistake.
1:26:02
I told her to get her own place.
I gave her all my money...

1:26:05
so she could get one.
1:26:07
She threw the money in my face.
1:26:10
She said that she didn't want
any part of me or my money.

1:26:13
She took off
and went back to her husband.

1:26:19
And you? What'd you do?
1:26:22
I got drunk and started
feeling sorry for myself as usual.

1:26:29
I got to thinking
what a no-good bastard I was...

1:26:33
and what a decent girl Mary was.
1:26:36
I got to thinking
maybe I loved her all along.

1:26:40
Maybe I loved her all this time
and just never realized it until...

1:26:44
I'd lost her.
1:26:49
You didn't try to find her?
1:26:54
I heard she was pregnant
before she left me.

1:26:57
I went on down to Brawley
where she was from and tried to see her.
