:09:01
You don't have
a business head.

:09:04
You got stuck with
mail order parts...

:09:05
you tried seeds...
:09:07
then you lost money
selling greeting cards.

:09:09
You know we have 6,000
"get well" cards in the closet?

:09:12
There aren't that many
sick people in America.

:09:14
Forget it. I'll spend the rest
of my life at the job I do.

:09:17
There's nothing
wrong with it.

:09:18
What do you do, Dad?
:09:19
It's none of your business.
:09:21
All my friends know what
their dads do for a living.

:09:23
Don't you have
any homework?

:09:24
Hey, can I have 15 cents
for the new Masked Avenger ring?

:09:26
No. What am l,
made of money?

:09:27
Pay more attention
to your schoolwork...

:09:29
and less to the radio!
:09:30
You always listen to the radio.
:09:32
It's different.
Our lives are ruined already.

:09:35
You still have a chance
to grow up and be somebody.

:09:37
You think I want you working
at the job I do?

:09:39
I don't even know
what your job is.

:09:41
You gotta get an education.
:09:42
While I'm getting it, can I get
the secret compartment ring?

:09:45
We don't have
money to waste.

:09:47
Do you think we all
like living together?

:09:49
We'd like to save up,
maybe have another child.

:09:52
Your father works all day
like a horse...

:09:54
supporting everybody.
:09:55
-At what?
-He's a big butter-and-egg man.

:09:58
What do you mean, "our lives
are ruined already"?

:10:00
I didn't mean "ruined" ruined.
:10:01
We're poor, but happy.
But definitely poor.

:10:04
Isn't this a beautiful sea bass?
:10:06
Who wants to join me, hmm?
:10:12
By now, you've
probably guessed...

:10:14
that the Masked Avenger's
secret compartment ring...

:10:16
meant a lot to me.
:10:18
Well, it did.
:10:19
Because they were gold
and mysterious...

:10:21
and they fit any finger.
:10:22
The box top, I already had.
:10:24
But the 15 cents was hard
to come by in those days.

:10:28
I tried not thinking about it...
:10:29
but it was very hard
to keep off my mind.

:10:32
And the masts and the sail.
:10:34
You even have to work
with the tweezers...

:10:37
to get some
of the small stuff in.

:10:39
I'll pass it around.
:10:40
That was lovely, Evelyn.
:10:42
Arnold, why don't you
come up...

:10:43
and show the class
what you have?

:10:45
Just go stand right over there.
Go ahead.

:10:46
I found this
on my parents' night table.

:10:48
That will be enough!
You go sit down!

:10:50
What did I do?
You told me to bring something.

:10:52
Put that thing in your pocket
and sit down!

:10:54
Ross, why don't you
come up here?

:10:55
You have something suitable
to show the class, don't you?

:10:57
Yes, I do.
:10:58
Very good. Stand right here.
