Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you
:00:28
Happy birthday, dear Sissy...
:00:33
The surprise of Sissy Hankshaw
:00:36
is that she did not grow up
a neurotic disaster.
:00:39
If you were a small girl
in a low-income suburb
:00:42
of Richmond, Virginia,
as Sissy was,
:00:45
and your own daddy
sometimes makes jokes
:00:47
about you being
"all thumbs,"
:00:49
then you toughen up...
or you shatter.
:00:52
...Happy birthday to you.
:00:58
Oh yes!
:01:00
Oh, did you make a wish?
:01:04
No, and I'm afraid she ain't gonna
make much of a brain surgeon, neither.
:01:07
Hey, she could
be a butcher.
:01:09
She could retire in two years
on the overcharges alone.
:01:13
She might make a hell
of a hitchhiker. Ha ha ha ha ha.
:01:17
If she were a boy,
you mean.
:01:19
She is,
if I may speak frankly,
:01:22
somewhat
of a medical oddity.
:01:25
Well, the Lord made them things
big for a purpose.
:01:27
Although...
:01:28
Lord only knows
what that might be.
:01:32
Doc, oh Doc...
:01:34
if a young man
ever shows up here
:01:38
with ugly fingers...
:01:41
you know,
would you please...
:01:44
Dear lady, please remember the words
of the painter Paul Gauguin
:01:48
who said,
"The ugly may be beautiful...
:01:51
but the pretty, never."
:01:55
I don't suppose that means
very much to you.
:01:58
I'm not stupid.
