:08:02
Well, Ruth Ann Mott.
:08:06
Why, honey,just look at you !
Little Ruth Ann Mott.
:08:09
Honey, I haven't seen you
since your mama passed.
What's that-- 1 0, 1 1 years ?
:08:13
- I'm not--
- Don't you remember me ?
I'm Sister Husband.
:08:16
Oh,you remember me. You used to call me
''Telma''because you couldn't say Thelma.
:08:22
[ Laughs ]
Can you say ''Thelma''?
:08:25
- Thelma.
- Good !
:08:28
Oh, Lord, look at you--
havin' a baby.
:08:32
- So, you just move back home, Ruth Ann?
- See, I'm not who--
:08:35
Oh, you know what they say:
'' Home is where your history begins.
:08:39
Home is where they catch you
when you fall.''
:08:43
That's what the late
Brother Husband used to say.
:08:45
Brother Husband--
was he your husband ?
:08:48
No, he was my brother,
a real man of God.
:08:52
- You read the Bible, Ruthie ?
- Not as much as I should.
:08:56
Good.
I think that's good.
:08:59
Folks read too much of it.
They just get confused.
:09:01
That's why I like to hand out
just one chapter at a time.
:09:05
That way, folks can deal with
their confusion as it comes.
:09:11
Come on. Come on.
You're comin' with me. Come on.
:09:15
I'm not gonna let you
get away empty-handed.
:09:19
Now, on behalf of the Merchants
and Businessmen's Association...
:09:23
of the city
of Sequoyah, Oklahoma,
:09:25
I do present you with this
basket of gifts and merchandise.
:09:29
- Thank you.
- Looky here, Ruth Ann,
you got, um, discount coupons...
:09:33
and matches, a map of the city,
emery boards-- oh, oh, yeah.
:09:37
Now, you see this little appointment
book? I ran out of these last week,
:09:40
so I had to put two or three
of my own appointments in this one,
:09:43
but if you're not an alcoholic, you'll
know those meetin's aren't for you.
:09:46
- No, ma'am, I'm not.
- Good. I think that's good.
:09:50
Oh, yeah, one more thing.
:09:55
- What is that ?
- This is a buckeye tree.
Brings you good luck.
