:33:07
Hey, wai ta second.
I wanna show you somethin'.
:33:10
- I was gonna get somethin' to eat.
- It'll just take a second.
:33:13
Here you go.
:33:15
You're not gonna think
badly of me when you see this ?
:33:18
- You're not gonna think
your old man's a dumb ass, are ya ?
- No.
:33:22
All right. Here you go.
:33:28
Well, there's one bright spot.
You made a "B" in history.
:33:32
That was an "F." I changed it
to a "B" when I got it back.
:33:35
Look at the other side.
:33:37
Notice anything different
about the signatures ?
:33:40
Are you sayin'you forged
"Mawmaw's" signature ?
:33:42
No. I'm sayin' I copied it.
:33:45
Really ?
:33:47
How old was I then ?
What's the year on that card ?
:33:49
Uh, 1941.
:33:51
At any rate,
I got the card back...
:33:53
and I must've spent three days
practicin' your grandmother's
signature before I did it.
:33:57
And I think I did a pretty good
job overall, don't you think ?
:34:00
I mean, considering I'd never
done anything like that before.
:34:03
Boy, I tell ya, I spent
that whole summer just cringin'
every time she got mad...
:34:06
thinkin' she'd found out or was gonna
call the school, but she never did.
:34:10
A long time ago... I think you were
still in elementary school, yeah...
:34:14
we were goin' over there
for your sister's birthday.
:34:16
I'd been lookin' in that other box for
somethin' and I came across this card.
:34:20
I thought, well, I'll
just take it along with me...
:34:22
and I'll show it to her and
we'll all have a little laugh.
:34:24
So after supper,
we were sittin' in her den...
:34:26
watchin' somethin'
on that old Magnavox she had.
:34:29
I started to pull the card out of
my pocket, and I couldn't do it.
:34:32
And every time
we went back after that...
:34:35
I never brought the card again,
butevery time we went back
I thoughtabout it.
:34:38
Every time I saw your grandmother,
I thought about it.
:34:40
I remember, even at the funeral
service, your Aunt Marjoree
sat there cryin' and cryin'...
:34:45
and all I could think of was that I had
never shown my mother that card.
:34:49
Huh. Well...
:34:51
just lookin' at it, I'd say you'd
done the right thing.
:34:54
You never did anything
like that, did you ?
:34:57
No. I was pretty much perfect.
