boyfriend coming home from church.

:07:16
Now every Sunday evening,
here come Mister.

:07:57
I want to marry your Nettie.
:08:01
I got to have somebody right now.
:08:04
I got nobody to watch
over my young'uns.

:08:07
They be fighting and bleeding
and throwing up on the floor...

:08:12
...while I got a farm to run.
:08:17
I'll take right good care
of your Nettie.

:08:21
I can't let you have Nettie.
:08:23
She too young.
:08:27
But I tell you what.
I can let you have Celie.

:08:30
She oldest and should marry first.
:08:33
She ain't fresh, but I
expect you know that.

:08:37
She's spoiled...twice.
:08:39
Celie's ugly...
:08:40
...but she works hard,
and she can learn.

:08:43
And God fixed her.
:08:45
You can do what you like.
She won't make you feed or clothe it.

:08:50
But Nettie, you flat out can't have.
Not now, not never.

:08:57
Well, I ain't never looked
at the other one before.
