- You say... you're going riding.
- Riding.

And never say "couch". It's "sofa".
1:16:14
- Sofa.
- Sofa.

1:16:16
And you say "boddill".
1:16:18
It's "bottle". Bottle of beer.
1:16:22
- Boddill of beer.
- No. Bottle of beer.

1:16:24
- Bottle.
- Boddill of beer.

1:16:27
Oh. See? Bottle of beer.
1:16:29
And never be afraid of rich people.
You know what they love?

1:16:33
A fancy pot of jam.
1:16:36
Really. That's all.
1:16:39
Get a patron. That's what you need.
You shouldn't be waiting tables.

- He stayed with them for...
- Two or three weeks.

1:16:53
He sunk his heels in.
1:16:57
- I'm moving out of here.

My father answered my letter. He's giving
me $1,000, and that's just for starters.

1:17:05
He sold a Cézanne to the Japanese
and made millions.

1:17:09
Now he can give me money
without her knowing it.

1:17:12
I knew it.
1:17:14
I'll give you the money to put on any play.
Agents will come. You'll be discovered.

1:17:19
And when you win Oscars, both of you,
you'll look in the camera and thank me.

1:17:24
- I wanna thank Paul Kittredge.
- Thanks, Paul.

1:17:28
(Paul laughs)

One hitch - I'm going to meet him
in Maine. He's visiting his parents.

1:17:35
My grandparents, whom I've never met.
He's finally gonna tell them about me.

1:17:40
Can you see the look on my parents' face
if a black kid showed up? "Hi, Grandma."

1:17:47
- Flan, your parents are dead.
- (laughter)

1:17:51
He's gonna give me money.
1:17:53
I can get my mama that beauty parlour
she's wanted all her life.

1:17:57
One problem -
how am I gonna get to Maine?
