00:00:00You must turn it over to the police, to try to keep it and raise it would never do, it's
00:00:13a white child I tell you.
00:00:14I wonder what's the matter with her, why does she act like that?

00:02:54Hello.
00:02:55Hello.
00:02:56Hello.
00:02:57Hello.
00:02:59I'm going to the city to try to find work
00:03:02and I want you to keep her until I return.
00:03:06But, uh...
00:03:07I know.
00:03:08You're going to ask me why I don't live with some of my friends.
00:03:12There's a reason.
00:03:14A reason I don't wish to go into.
00:03:18But, I beg of you, Mrs. Saunders.
00:03:21Please keep her.
00:03:23She's really a darling child.
00:03:28Come here, baby.
00:03:30Oh, this is hot.
00:03:53This is goodbye, Mrs. Saunders.
00:03:55Goodbye?
00:03:57But what about your baby?
00:03:59The child is yours.
00:04:01I am leaving and I will never return.
00:04:06May God bless you and take good care of my child.
00:04:19Poor little darling.
00:04:27Now you can go to school.
00:04:29Be a nice little girl.
00:04:31Don't bother the teacher.
00:04:33Give her this.
00:04:34Don't play with bad children.
00:04:36Come home as soon as school is over.
00:04:39Yes, ma'am.
00:04:57Oh, hello.
00:05:16How are you, Mrs. Cushenberry?
00:05:18I came for my little girl, Naomi.
00:05:20I sent her to school today.
00:05:22Did you send her home with one of the other children?
00:05:24Why no, Mrs. Saunders.
00:05:26I haven't seen Naomi.
00:05:28Although I was expecting her today.
00:05:30When you didn't send her, I thought you decided not to send her yet.
00:05:34You haven't seen Naomi?
00:05:36Why, I brought her here this morning myself.
00:05:39When I...
00:05:40I remember you saying that you were going to send her to me again this year and I was expecting her.
00:05:45But I haven't seen her yet.
00:05:47Well, this beats me.
00:05:49Oh, how that child worries me.
00:05:52I haven't seen Julia until I've taught her at home for the past two years when she should have been coming to you.
00:05:56She's nine now.
00:05:58And I thought it was about time she started mixing with other children.
00:06:01Well, suppose something should happen to her.
00:06:05Mrs. Cushenberry, I'm afraid.
00:06:08Afraid something has happened.
00:06:10I must find Naomi.
00:06:12I'll go with you and help.
00:06:21Look, here comes the mother and the teacher.
00:06:23I bet they're looking for Naomi.
00:06:27How do you do, little girl?
00:06:29Why are you stopping here?
00:06:31Haven't I always told you to go directly home when school is out?
00:06:35Then why do you stop to play?
00:06:37We...
00:06:38Now don't make excuses or tell me a story.
00:06:41We aren't making any excuses or telling a story.
00:06:44We stopped to talk to these other girls and Naomi, but...
00:06:47Naomi, have you seen Naomi?
00:07:18Naomi, my baby.
00:07:21What's the matter?
00:07:37What's the matter, huh?
00:07:39She needs a good licking, that's what's the matter.
00:07:41And if you don't want to give it to her, turn it over.
00:07:44That's what she needs, a good licking.
00:07:47Go away, Jimmy.
00:07:49You don't understand girls.
00:07:51Can't you see Naomi is unhappy?
00:07:53Of course I see it, but why?
00:07:55Don't you know why?
00:07:56Then I'll tell you.
00:07:58Oh, Mommy, please make him go away.
00:08:00Please make him go away.
00:08:02Please make him go away.
00:08:04Please make him go away.
00:08:06Please make him go away.
00:08:08Please make him go away.
00:08:10Please make him go away.
00:08:12Well, I'll go, but if Ma is so dumb,
00:08:14she ought to know what's the matter with you.
00:08:16Everybody else does.
00:08:18You just don't want to be colored, that's all.
00:08:21Take yourself right out of here, young man.
00:08:24You can't abuse your sister when she's heartbroken like this.
00:08:27Get right out of here.
00:08:29If you'd break her head, she may get these notions out of it.
00:08:32Why do you let her fool you?
00:08:34She deliberately slipped off and went to a white school.
00:08:36That's what she did.
00:08:38I know, I know.
00:08:40Don't believe him, Mother.
00:08:42Don't believe a word he says.
00:08:44Jimmy don't like me because I'm a girl.
00:08:46He never did like girls.
00:08:48Oh, I'm so unhappy.
00:08:51All right.
00:08:54Round, round, circle, round the old man's back, and guess...
00:09:03Naomi, why did you do it?
00:09:06I didn't teach her.
00:09:07It was...
00:09:08Don't make it worse by telling the story.
00:09:10Please don't do that.
00:09:12I saw the whole thing from the window.
00:09:14I saw just what you did.
00:09:16Otherwise, I wouldn't have believed it of you.
00:09:18I'm sorry you did it.
00:09:20But the principal says I must punish you for it,
00:09:22and I hate to do that.
00:09:24I hate to.
00:09:26But you're a bad girl and must be punished.
00:09:28I seldom have to punish any of the children, Naomi.
00:09:31You know that.
00:09:33I talk to them, try to reason it out together.
00:09:36And I'm going to try to reason this out with you.
00:09:39You're a pretty girl,
00:09:41and I'm sure you wouldn't want to be the first child
00:09:43I've got to punish this year.
00:09:45You wouldn't want that to happen.
00:09:47Would you, Naomi?
00:09:49It isn't going to happen.
00:09:52Why, Naomi, what do you mean?
00:09:54Just what I say.
00:09:56You'd better not lay your hands on me.
00:09:58Why, Naomi, you're getting worse.
00:10:00This will never do.
00:10:02If you hadn't been disobedient,
00:10:04if you hadn't been disobedient and unruly,
00:10:06it wouldn't be necessary.
00:10:08I'm afraid I'll have to punish you, and severely.
00:10:11Just try it.
00:10:13I had hoped that I could talk to you and reason with you.
00:10:16I thought that I could persuade you to see
00:10:18that it is nicer to be nice, sweet and kind to your playmates
00:10:21instead of haughty, insolent, and downright mean.
00:10:25I thought I could persuade you to obey me.
00:10:27I won't obey you, and I won't try to be nice.
00:10:30I don't want to come to this old school, and I never did.
00:10:33I don't like you, and I don't like any other children.
00:10:36And I'm here only because my mama made me come.
00:10:56Good evening, Mrs. Saunders.
00:10:58Oh, it's you, teacher. How are you?
00:11:00Come in.
00:11:08I'm certainly glad to see you, dear.
00:11:10So nice of you to stop by tonight.
00:11:12It's a surprise, but a pleasant one.
00:11:15I'm not going to stay that long, dear. I, uh...
00:11:19My dear, you look sad and worried, and all upset.
00:11:23What's the matter?
00:11:25Well, come in the parlor and tell me.
00:11:32She's sound asleep, didn't hear anything,
00:11:35doesn't even know you've been here.
00:11:37But I...
00:11:38Then everything is all right. That's fine.
00:11:42Please don't worry anymore, dear.
00:11:44I must go now.
00:11:55Mama! Oh, Mama, come here.
00:11:59Naomi, what in the world are you doing awake and out of bed?
00:12:03Shh! Someone might hear.
00:12:05I'll come down there.
00:12:12Shh!
00:12:14Quiet, Mother, but it's awful! Awful!
00:12:18Awful? What do you mean, child?
00:12:21What's awful?
00:12:22Shh! Not so loud.
00:12:24Let's not awaken Jimmy.
00:12:26Come with me upstairs, and I'll tell you.
00:12:29I've got to tell you.
00:12:42I overheard you talking to the teacher, Mommy.
00:12:46I know you thought I was asleep.
00:12:48But what happened was so, oh, terrible,
00:12:52until I couldn't sleep.
00:12:54I was so worried.
00:12:56But I had to make out like I was,
00:12:58so you would understand that it was best she didn't know I overheard.
00:13:03Whatever are you talking about, Naomi?
00:13:06What the teacher was afraid to tell you about what happened.
00:13:10What happened anyhow?
00:13:12The teacher started to tell me something,
00:13:14but when she found out you hadn't told me,
00:13:16then she wouldn't tell me.
00:13:18Oh, this is all so confusing.
00:13:21Why not tell me and have it over with?
00:13:23I'm going to tell you, Mommy.
00:13:25Tell you the whole story.
00:13:27But I warn you, it's terrible, terrible.
00:13:31I can guess.
00:13:33You were a bad girl in school this afternoon.
00:13:35The teacher had to punish you,
00:13:37and came here to tell me about it tonight, and...
00:13:40Oh, Mommy, no. Not that.
00:13:43When she learned you hadn't told me anything about it,
00:13:45she didn't want me to know you'd been a bad girl,
00:13:48so she decided not to tell me.
00:13:50Oh, Mommy, no. Not that at all.
00:13:53It was something else.
00:13:55Oh, something entirely different.
00:13:58And it was not about me.
00:14:00It was about the teacher.
00:14:03About the teacher?
00:14:05What do you mean?
00:14:06I started to tell you just what happened,
00:14:09but what happened this afternoon was only a part of it.
00:14:12If you let me tell you, we'll get to that in time.
00:14:16Go on. I'm listening.
00:14:18But this sounds like some tale out of a fairy book to me,
00:14:22or the story of a nightmare.
00:14:24Mommy, it's the teacher that's bad.
00:14:28She's a bad woman.
00:14:30Heaven help us.
00:14:32Whatever you're talking about, Naomi, the teacher bad.
00:14:36I knew you wouldn't believe it.
00:14:38That's why I hesitated to tell you.
00:14:41Nevertheless, she's a bad woman.
00:14:44Naomi, I don't understand at all.
00:14:47I love you, and I want you to be happy.
00:14:51You know that, don't you?
00:14:54Then why don't you tell me the truth?
00:14:57I'll bet the teacher had to punish you this afternoon,
00:15:00just as I said.
00:15:02But you've trumped up this story to tell me,
00:15:04and I won't believe a word of it.
00:15:07That's final.
00:15:09Oh, Mommy, I'll tell her the truth.
00:15:12Oh, Mommy, I'll tell her the truth.
00:15:14Please believe me.
00:15:16I'll tell her the truth.
00:15:17I'll tell her the truth.
00:15:27Listen to me, Naomi.
00:15:29I raised you, and I know you better than anybody else in the world.
00:15:34And I know your teacher, too.
00:15:36Now, this story you've made up to tell me,
00:15:38I don't believe a word of it.
00:15:40If you don't go right back to bed,
00:15:42I'm going to give you another spanking.
00:15:45Oh, you don't love me.
00:15:46You never did love me.
00:15:48Nobody loves me.
00:15:49I wish I was dead, dead.
00:15:52Would you stop that noise and go back to bed?
00:15:55You'll wake up Jimmy, and I'm awake already.
00:15:58I've been awake, listening to Naomi.
00:16:00Why, Jimmy, how dare you?
00:16:02I'm surprised at you.
00:16:03Why?
00:16:07You stay right where you are, Naomi.
00:16:09I can't tell Mom what really happened to your school this afternoon.
00:16:14He's lying, Mother.
00:16:15He's lying.
00:16:16Don't believe him.
00:16:17Don't believe a word he says.
00:16:19Oh, no, you don't.
00:16:20You're not going to get out of this.
00:16:21You know what happened, which was that you...
00:16:40It isn't so, Mommy.
00:16:42Jimmy's lying to hurt me.
00:16:44He likes Eve, and he's made this up to hurt me.
00:16:47Please, Mommy, don't believe him.
00:16:50I'm sorry, Naomi.
00:16:52But everything has been done to keep you from doing mean things
00:16:55and hurting other people.
00:16:57Now, there's no need for you to scream and cry any longer.
00:17:00You must be proud of yourself.
00:17:02You must be happy.
00:17:04You must be happy.
00:17:06Now, there's no need for you to scream and cry any longer.
00:17:09You must be punished, and I'm...
00:17:11Oh, Mommy, please don't whip me.
00:17:13I'm sore already from the spanking teacher gave me this afternoon.
00:17:17Please don't whip me again, Mommy.
00:17:19So, I was right.
00:17:22The teacher did punish you this afternoon
00:17:24and came here tonight to tell me she was sorry she had to punish you.
00:17:27Is that true?
00:17:31And was that all you did to make the teacher punish you?
00:17:36Come back, Naomi. What else did you do?
00:17:39That was all, honestly, Mommy.
00:17:42I didn't do anything else.
00:17:44I just happened to...
00:17:46Just happened to what?
00:17:48Cough and...
00:17:50No, Naomi.
00:17:52You didn't just happen to cough.
00:17:54You simply spit in the teacher's face.
00:17:57Well, that settles it.
00:18:00I don't know what will become of you when you grow up,
00:18:03but I can give you a whipping now that you'll never forget
00:18:06if I have to send you to the hospital when I get through.
00:18:09Oh, Mommy, Mommy, Mommy.
00:18:12I'm sorry, Naomi.
00:18:14Lord knows it hurts me to have to punish you.
00:18:17But you've got to behave yourself and stop being so mean.
00:18:20You've got to.
00:18:22Oh, Mommy, please. Jimmy.
00:18:24Oh, Jimmy, won't you please save me?
00:18:26Save me, Jimmy. Please save me.
00:18:29Oh, Mama, wait.
00:18:31Please, Mama, let her go in time.
00:18:33Maybe she'll do better.
00:18:35Give her one more chance, please, just one more chance.
00:18:38I'm sorry, Jimmy,
00:18:40but Naomi seems to be hopelessly mean and unruly.
00:18:44I'm afraid she'll never come to any good end.
00:18:48It's your mother's duty to try to make her do what's right.
00:18:52I'm sorry, son, but I must punish her.
00:19:01Oh!
00:19:19I'm going to let you in on a secret.
00:19:24Ain't that awful?
00:19:26It's a shame.
00:19:28And remember, we promise not to tell anybody.
00:19:31No, we won't tell anybody.
00:19:54Now, you all must be nice children.
00:19:57Don't ever steal, always go home,
00:20:01and play at all times with good children.
00:20:05Augustus, number three.
00:20:08I'm going to let you in on a secret.
00:20:11Ain't that awful?
00:20:13It's a shame.
00:20:15And remember, we promise not to tell anybody.
00:20:19No, we won't tell anybody.
00:20:23Laurie, come with me.
00:20:31Louis, come.
00:20:37Jackie, come with me.
00:20:41Why, what's the meaning of this?
00:20:47Jimmy, what is it?
00:20:49Jimmy, what is it?
00:20:51Oh, Mama, Naomi has put out a terrible story about the tea professor.
00:20:54There's a riot down at the school.
00:20:56Great heavens, what?
00:20:57Oh, it's an awful story, and everybody believes it.
00:21:00Merciful Father.
00:21:02They're on their way to the superintendent's house.
00:21:04They're going to ask him to fire them both.
00:21:07And Naomi started all this?
00:21:10Merciful Father, then I must stop it.
00:21:13Stop it right now.
00:21:15You wait here, son.
00:21:18There seems to be a lot of excitement down in Colored Town all of a sudden.
00:21:21I wonder what's happened.
00:21:23I wonder.
00:21:24There's a group coming this way.
00:21:26Seems like a sort of committee.
00:21:28They're headed here.
00:21:30And to see you, I'm going to follow that committee, son.
00:21:34I'll have to spike the lie there and come back and hush it down here.
00:21:44To think that child would start all this.
00:21:47I believe she's Marge.
00:21:49By the way, son, if she comes home, don't let her go away.
00:21:54Keep her here until I come back.
00:21:56Yes, sir.
00:21:57I respect your desire to keep your students free from the scandal.
00:22:02But has it ever occurred that you might be mistaken?
00:22:06That the accused might be innocent?
00:22:09Who started this rumor, anyhow?
00:22:12There ain't no rumor.
00:22:13How do you know?
00:22:15Somebody told you and somebody else told those who told you.
00:22:21Now let me remind you that these two people, up to the last two hours,
00:22:27have been highly respected and honored by all who know them
00:22:31and may yet be innocent.
00:22:35I'm not going to discharge them before they have been heard.
00:22:40I'm sorry, but...
00:22:42Thank you, Mr. Rankin.
00:22:44You all must excuse me for coming here like this,
00:22:47but I know what this is all about, and I've come to set you right.
00:22:52All of you.
00:22:53Mrs. Cushenbear and the principal have done no wrong.
00:22:57Somebody has told a terrible story on them.
00:23:00How do you know it's a story, Sister Saunders?
00:23:03What proof have you?
00:23:04And how do you know that it wasn't a story?
00:23:07Have you any proof of that?
00:23:09No proof at all.
00:23:11Simply a rumor.
00:23:13Started by a child.
00:23:15My own child.
00:23:17God help me.
00:23:19Yes, my own little Naomi.
00:23:23You see, it was like this.
00:23:25The teacher had to punish her in school yesterday.
00:23:28When she came home, I punished her again.
00:23:32Today, she started this terrible story.
00:23:43All right.
00:23:44I've been waiting for you.
00:23:46I always said you'd keep on until you started something.
00:23:49Well, you've succeeded.
00:23:50But what you started, you've got to stop, see?
00:23:52All right.
00:23:53Come on.
00:23:54Oh, Jimmy, please don't.
00:23:56I'm scared.
00:23:57Can't you tell?
00:23:58You've got a right to be this time.
00:24:00Come on.
00:24:02What?
00:24:03Look.
00:24:04You understand?
00:24:05Yeah.
00:24:11Yeah, you know you did.
00:24:14Let's go, let's go.
00:24:16Please.
00:24:17Please.
00:24:18Haven't we had enough to cry for one day?
00:24:21Let us all be peaceful and merciful
00:24:24boys and girls from the south.
00:24:26Nothing more.
00:24:28Just the peace of our hearts.
00:24:30and merciful.
00:24:32Poor dear.
00:24:33There, there, Naomi.
00:24:35Don't cry.
00:24:37Just say that you're sorry and all will be forgiven.
00:24:40If you are sorry, aren't you, Naomi?
00:24:43And if you get forgiven, would you
00:24:45promise to be a good girl and never, as long as you live,
00:24:49tell another story?
00:24:52Come to Miss Anders.
00:24:54Take her home.
00:24:57Don't punish her.
00:24:58Give her love, all your love.
00:25:02Thank you, Mrs. Christianberry.
00:25:03You are a good Christian woman.
00:25:06Come, Naomi.
00:28:56Thank you very much.
00:29:06Thank you so much.
00:29:07Thanks, Jimmy.
00:29:10I'll report right back to you, dear.
00:29:11If that be possible.
00:29:12Yes.
00:29:13It seems we must have been born in love with each other, Jimmy.
00:29:14We were.
00:29:15That brings me back to what I started to tell you a few minutes ago.
00:29:16So let's go somewhere and talk it over.
00:29:17Bye, Jimmy.
00:29:18Eva.
00:29:19Well, where shall I start?
00:29:21At the beginning.
00:29:22Oh, no, precious.
00:29:23That would take too long.
00:29:24I'm patient.
00:29:26I'll listen to every word, even if it takes you
00:29:28all night to tell me.
00:29:29Well, it was like this.
00:29:31I got a job as a Pullman porter, running on the road.
00:29:34I was lucky, as we Negroes put it.
00:29:36I saved the money I made, got a few breaks.
00:29:39Now I have exactly $6,700.
00:29:42Mm.
00:29:44Well, that's a lot of money.
00:29:46$6,700.
00:29:48Mm.
00:29:49So now I'm ready for my big try in life.
00:29:52I guess I'll perhaps lose it, never
00:29:54be able to save that much again, never have so much again.
00:29:57Oh, Jimmy, you must be very careful.
00:30:00To lose it, that will never do.
00:30:02It would be a calamity.
00:30:04I'll be careful, but I will have to take some kind of a chance.
00:30:07You won't do what they're saying you're going to.
00:30:09Will you, Jimmy?
00:30:10What's that, dear?
00:30:12Go into that gambling deal.
00:30:15Heavens, no.
00:30:16I understand what you mean now.
00:30:18That chain of policy shops all over the country.
00:30:20Lord, help me, no.
00:30:22Another outfit has been trying to enter
00:30:24me in a string of crap games in a dozen cities,
00:30:27while another talks of banks, numbers banks.
00:30:30Nothing doing.
00:30:31Nicks on all.
00:30:32I'm so glad to know you're not, dear.
00:30:35Why is it that so many, most all of our men,
00:30:38when they go into business, it's got to be a crap game,
00:30:42or a numbers bank, or a policy shop.
00:30:45Why can't they go into some kind of legitimate business
00:30:47like white people?
00:30:48They could, but they've made no study of economics.
00:30:51Their idea of success is to seek the line of least resistance.
00:30:54The Negro hates to think.
00:30:56He's a stranger to planning.
00:30:59I guess you're right.
00:31:01I guess I think too much, and plan too much also.
00:31:04But after viewing the failure of our group,
00:31:06before we are failures, it seems that we
00:31:08should go right back to the beginning
00:31:10and start all over again.
00:31:11That's what I've decided to do.
00:31:13You mean?
00:31:14I'm going to buy a farm and start at the beginning.
00:31:18Shh.
00:31:19Somebody's coming.
00:31:22It's that Aunt Drew Cowper.
00:31:28Evening, folks.
00:31:29Excuse me for butting in on you young folks like this,
00:31:32but I just had to see and talk to Jimmy about this big deal.
00:31:35We were just talking about it, Mr. Cowper.
00:31:37Now sit here with Mr. Saunders, and if you'll excuse me,
00:31:40I'll...
00:31:41Wait a minute.
00:31:42If I guess correctly, I think you should sit in on the details,
00:31:45Eve.
00:31:46I think it's clear to everybody around here about you two.
00:31:49And as a businessman, I think you should sit in.
00:31:52How about it, Jimmy?
00:31:53OK with me.
00:31:54That's fine.
00:31:55Fine.
00:32:03As I was telling you, I was in New York, Philadelphia,
00:32:07Baltimore, and Washington.
00:32:09Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Detroit, and Chicago.
00:32:12In the East, it's all numbers.
00:32:14But the white man has got the Negro pretty badly squares out.
00:32:18But in Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago, and St. Louis,
00:32:22the Negro's holding his own.
00:32:24He has most of the crap games, the policy wheels,
00:32:27and the outright gambling house.
00:32:29The towns are wide open.
00:32:32Of course, you have to split with the police.
00:32:34And he is cleaning up.
00:32:36Now, with Jimmy's money in my brain...
00:32:39But what gave you the idea that I want to go into the gambling business, Copper?
00:32:43I've never given you any reason to feel that I'm even remotely interested.
00:32:46You ain't what?
00:32:48I'm not interested, Copper.
00:32:50And I've never given you any reason to feel that I would be, have I?
00:32:53Well, no, I can't say you have.
00:32:56But I thought when I told you how much money there was in it,
00:33:00quick money and easy money,
00:33:03and the Negro is so simple and falls for any kind of game that...
00:33:07I understand what you may have thought, Copper.
00:33:09And I'm not bolding you for coming to me.
00:33:11But you leave out one very important thing, and you're summing up.
00:33:14That the games you mentioned are despisable.
00:33:16A cheap racket that's doing more to drag the Negro down
00:33:19than anything ever conceived.
00:33:21Well, that may be true.
00:33:23But he's gonna get rid of his money any way as it goes, as I sees it.
00:33:27And we just as well will be getting some of it as the other fellow.
00:33:30I agree with you.
00:33:32But, Copper, we don't think the same way.
00:33:34I hate all these cheap rackets that have submerged the Negro
00:33:37into the helpless creatures they are.
00:33:39And so far as I'm concerned, I wouldn't be a party to it
00:33:42if it was possible to make a million dollars.
00:33:44All clear. That's what I think of it.
00:33:46I'm sorry.
00:33:48Taint you, brother. It's me.
00:33:51You done let me down.
00:33:53Way down.
00:33:55Way down.
00:34:09As fine a form as ever laid out of doors.
00:34:26The country's coming back.
00:34:28You pay $5,000 down and take the form.
00:34:32You can pay $5,000 a year if you make it.
00:34:36If not, just pay the interest and the taxes.
00:34:39If I was a gambler, I'd lay a bet with the sense you've got
00:34:43and the way you go after things
00:34:45that you'll have it paid for in ten years or less.
00:34:48And before you get out of here,
00:34:51that you'll have it paid for in ten years or less.
00:34:54And before you get it paid for,
00:34:56it'll be worth $150,000 again.
00:34:58Well, I'll think about it.
00:35:01You mean to say that this guy ain't willing to fall
00:35:04for an opportunity like we're offering him?
00:35:07Not a chance. He don't like the racket.
00:35:10He says if it was left to him,
00:35:12he'd wipe out every number bank and policy wheel in the country.
00:35:16He says that it has ruined the Negroes' chance for salvation.
00:35:20Oh, a preacher, huh? A reformer.
00:35:23I'd like to take a poke at his pretty nose.
00:35:26I can't. We had him scheduled to ride.
00:35:28Now because he don't step into our trap, why get so about it?
00:35:31Come on, let's get going.
00:35:33Oh, well, I guess you're right.
00:35:46Come on.
00:36:07Well, Mother, here it is.
00:36:09Our future home, where your son is going on sets.
00:36:12Or fail, as the case may be.
00:36:14This is more than I expected.
00:36:16You'll succeed, Jimmy. You're a small boy.
00:36:19When you do take advice, take the right kind.
00:36:22You'll make mistakes, maybe a lot of them.
00:36:25Learn to labor, and wait, son. I know you will.
00:36:32Yes, Mother. I'm driving to John's town.
00:36:34I'm back until late tonight.
00:36:36You'll see that everything's attended to as I lay down, please.
00:36:38So long, dear.
00:36:40Goodbye, dear. Get back.
00:36:44Thank you, Jim.
00:37:04Mommy.
00:37:05Naomi.
00:37:06Naomi.
00:37:08My baby.
00:37:10My darling baby, you've come back to me.
00:37:13Oh, Mommy, Mommy.
00:37:17I'm so happy.
00:37:20Now come in, darling.
00:37:21Sit down and tell me everything.
00:37:36Give me your coat, dear.
00:37:37I'll be right back.
00:37:41All right.
00:37:48Oh, Mommy, what a beautiful home.
00:37:51I'm so glad you like it there.
00:37:53Now sit there, darling.
00:37:59Now tell Mother everything.
00:38:01Oh, darling, but there isn't anything to tell Mother.
00:38:04What could happen there in a convent
00:38:05that would interest anybody?
00:38:07But we can talk about you and Jimmy.
00:38:10Oh, Mommy, he's a grown man now, and I'll bet he's handsome.
00:38:14Isn't he?
00:38:15Jimmy?
00:38:17Handsome?
00:38:19Oh, yes, yes, yes, of course, dear.
00:38:21Yes, I must admit, your brother is handsome.
00:38:24Oh, gee, isn't that wonderful?
00:38:27Wonderful.
00:38:28I know I'm going to love him a lot.
00:38:32Going to love him?
00:38:34Why, he's your brother, dear.
00:38:36You mean you're going to love him more.
00:38:38You've always loved him, of course.
00:38:41Of course.
00:38:43That's a sweet child.
00:38:45Your brother's a fine young man, and he's eating in a big way.
00:38:49But he's very serious.
00:38:50And to love each other dearly, it will make me very happy.
00:39:01But Jimmy, Mommy, where is he?
00:39:04Oh, I'm so anxious to see him.
00:39:06Now, darling, be patient.
00:39:07If you had let us know what day he would leave the school,
00:39:09I would have had Jimmy come for you.
00:39:11No, no, Mother.
00:39:12I didn't want you to come there.
00:39:14Oh, you don't know what I went through to stay
00:39:16there all these years.
00:39:17It all but killed me.
00:39:19Now that I am out, I never want to see the place again.
00:39:22Never, never.
00:39:24I know, dear.
00:39:25It must have been confining to you,
00:39:27but weren't the sisters good to you?
00:39:29Yes, dear, every one of them.
00:39:32And I love them.
00:39:33I shall always love them.
00:39:35But, oh, Mommy, I wanted to be outside, free and...
00:39:38Of course, Naomi, but...
00:39:39I was a bad girl, Mommy.
00:39:42I sinned.
00:39:43I had to be confined.
00:39:45I had to be disciplined.
00:39:47I had to be subdued.
00:39:49Yes, it's all true, and I deserved it.
00:39:53I'm sorry that I was now, but I'm
00:39:56going to make up for it all by being good,
00:39:59just as good as I can be.
00:40:02I know you'll be good, baby, mother's baby,
00:40:06just as good as you can be, as good as she...
00:40:20Oh, you're back, son.
00:40:21Now, why aren't you in bed?
00:40:22You know I like you staying up, even for me,
00:40:24when I know you should be asleep.
00:40:25I had to stay up tonight, son.
00:40:28There's a good reason.
00:40:29Reason?
00:40:30Well, what do you mean?
00:40:31Oh, be patient, Jimmy, and come with me.
00:40:39Now, give me your coat and hat, son.
00:40:58It's Naomi, son.
00:40:59Your little sister, grown up.
00:41:02Isn't she beautiful and sweet?
00:41:12Why, Jimmy, you act like you're frightened.
00:41:14It's Naomi, your little sister, grown up, out of school,
00:41:18and home again with us.
00:41:20Naomi.
00:41:22Jimmy.
00:41:24Jimmy.
00:41:25Well, I never saw such a meeting
00:41:27between brother and sister.
00:41:29You're acting more like two long-lost lovers.
00:41:31Go ahead, boy.
00:41:32Take her in your arms and kiss her.
00:41:34Can't you see what she needs?
00:41:39Well, have you forgotten your mother?
00:41:43I...
00:41:47If you two weren't brother and sister, I'd be...
00:41:50Oh, well, I won't say it.
00:41:52Jimmy, Naomi wanted to surprise us.
00:41:55That's why she didn't tell us she was coming home.
00:41:58Now I'm going to leave you two to get better acquainted
00:42:00while I go and prepare some dinner for you.
00:42:11Now, Jimmy, I want you to take Naomi to the city
00:42:15and keep her there over the weekend.
00:42:17Remember, dear, she's young and has some things to do.
00:42:21She's young and has seen almost nothing of life.
00:42:25Be nice to her.
00:42:26Monday is a holiday, so you can both relax
00:42:29and have a good time in the city for four days.
00:42:32There, there, Mother.
00:42:33We're all right now.
00:42:34We'll be rolling along.
00:42:38Bye-bye, Mommy dear.
00:42:39We'll be home Tuesday.
00:42:41Goodbye, darling.
00:42:51Bye-bye, Jimmy.
00:42:52Bye-bye, Mommy dear.
00:42:53Bye-bye, Jimmy.

00:44:10Bye-bye, Jimmy.
00:44:11Bye-bye, Jimmy.
00:44:31By the way, I was over at Raccoon the other night,
00:44:34and I saw your sweetie.
00:44:36Yes?
00:44:37Do you mean Jimmy?
00:44:38Yes, I...
00:44:39I saw them at...
00:44:40I really didn't mean to say anything about it.
00:44:42I saw him, and he was dancing with a very pretty girl.
00:44:46I didn't mean to say anything about it to you.
00:44:49Jim and I understand each other.
00:44:51What kind of a girl was she?
00:44:53Very pretty, I must say.
00:44:56Oh, I think I know who you're talking about.
00:44:58Yes?
00:44:59That was perhaps his sister.
00:45:01Sister.
00:45:02Oh, no.
00:45:04They look anything alike.
00:45:06And the way she was looking at him.
00:45:09Sisters don't look at brothers that way.
00:45:12But you don't understand, Aunt Carrie.
00:45:14She's not really his sister.
00:45:16Oh, supposed to be.
00:45:18Oh, well, that's more like it.
00:45:21Supposed to be.
00:45:23Just the same, I look into this sister business.
00:45:26She was one of the prettiest girls I've ever seen.
00:45:29And, well, she looked just like an angel.
00:45:31And she wasn't looking at anybody but you or Jimmy.
00:45:35There, there, Aunt Carrie.
00:45:37The girl's been on convent for over 12 years.
00:45:40She was due to come out this month.
00:45:42And I'm sure the girl you're talking about must be her.
00:45:48Excuse me, Aunt Carrie.
00:45:53Eva.
00:45:54Jimmy.
00:45:55Eva, this is.
00:45:57Naomi.
00:45:58Oh, I'm so glad to see you again.
00:46:00Do you remember me?
00:46:01How could I ever forget you, Eva?
00:46:03You're a darling.
00:46:04Oh, Naomi.
00:46:06Now, come into the parlor.
00:46:08I want you to meet my aunt.
00:46:09It's a strange coincidence, but we were just
00:46:11talking about you, both of you.
00:46:14I'm sorry, Mama.
00:46:15I can't stand to see you like this.
00:46:17I guess this is love.
00:46:19Never mind.
00:46:20I'll fix it.
00:46:21I'll fix it.
00:46:22You won't.
00:46:23I'm going to show you what it looks like when I do it again.
00:46:25See?
00:46:26Yes, I'll show you.
00:46:27You won't.
00:46:28You won't.
00:46:32You won't.
00:46:33You won't.
00:46:34You won't.
00:46:35You won't.
00:46:36Oh, you won't.
00:46:37And I won't.
00:46:38Oh, you won't.
00:46:40I'll show you.
00:46:41You won't.
00:46:42I'll show you.
00:46:42You won't.
00:46:43I can't remember a worse December, just watch those icicles fall.
00:46:51What do I care how icicles fall?
00:46:56I've got my love to keep me warm.
00:46:59Off with my overcoat, off with my gloves.
00:47:04I need no overcoat, say I'm burning up the house.
00:47:07Put my gloves on, the flame grows higher, but I can't weather the storm.
00:47:14What do I care how much they storm?
00:47:19I've got my love to keep me warm.

00:51:17It was always wise to watch them afterwards.
00:51:21That gal knows Jimmy's only her foster brother.
00:51:25She's staying out there at the farm to be near.
00:51:28And feel as you pretend to about it,
00:51:31that girl don't mean you no good.
00:51:33Oh, that dance was wonderful.
00:51:46And Jimmy, he dances so easily, so beautifully.
00:52:16Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy
00:52:46so
00:52:58well girls suppose we call tonight past your bed time already isn't it well yes
00:53:04but i slip late this morning i don't mind staying a little while longer perhaps even carrie might
00:53:10like to go but no no sister we're all going we've had a nice evening everybody's enjoyed
00:53:15So it's been moved and seconded that we go home.
00:53:18Oh, waiter, a sec, please.
00:53:20I don't want to go now, Jimmy.
00:53:22I want to stay longer.
00:53:23Please.
00:53:28I'll run along to bed and be a good little girl.
00:53:30I'll be around in time for breakfast in the morning.
00:53:46I feel so sorry for her.
00:53:48She'd been cooped up in a convent for 10 long years.
00:53:51I know it must have been hard.
00:53:53It must have been.
00:53:55She'll need lots of attention.
00:53:57She will, then.
00:54:00Jimmy?
00:54:01Yes, Naomi?
00:54:02If you weren't my brother.
00:54:04I want to see you're very, very happy.
00:54:06Oh, thank you, Jimmy.
00:54:08But I was thinking, I don't know,
00:54:10if you'd like to stay a little longer.
00:54:13But I was thinking.
00:54:15Yes, Naomi, you were thinking what?
00:54:17Oh, how nice it might be to be a farmer's wife.
00:54:21A nice, young, and successful farmer, like you.
00:54:25I'm glad you think that way, Naomi.
00:54:27There's a farmer near me, young and successful, too.
00:54:31I want you to meet him.
00:54:32You might.
00:54:33No, I'm not interested.
00:54:34You needn't bother.
00:54:36I'll have him come over to meet you.
00:54:38I have a feeling that he will like you.
00:54:40I said no, emphatically no.
00:54:43Yes, he will.
00:54:46I'm sure of it.
00:54:59Mommy.
00:55:01Yes, dear?
00:55:02Has Eva been gone with Jimmy long?
00:55:05Ever since they were playmates.
00:55:07Neither one of them has ever had another beau.
00:55:10Is he very much in love with her?
00:55:12Well, if it isn't my good friend, Clyde.
00:55:14My good friend, Jimmy.
00:55:16Boy, I've been so busy that I couldn't come around.
00:55:18But I was here last week, and your mother
00:55:20told me you had gone to the city and took your sister, who is
00:55:23now back from school with you.
00:55:25Correct.
00:55:26We had a nice time, but we're back now,
00:55:27down to hard work again.
00:55:29I want you to meet my sister.
00:55:30She's a pretty girl.
00:55:31She'd have to be, with a beautiful mother
00:55:33and a handsome brother.
00:55:35I'd be glad to meet her.
00:55:37Oh, Mama, look.
00:55:39Who is that with you?
00:55:41Who is that with Jimmy?
00:55:43Oh, what makes him so funny-looking?
00:55:45Shh, that's Clyde Wade, Jimmy's friend.
00:55:48We want you to meet.
00:55:49You, you mean that?
00:55:51That's the man he's been talking about?
00:55:53Sure.
00:55:54And he wants me to like that?
00:55:56That person?
00:55:58Oh, Mama, I don't want anybody who looks like that.
00:56:00Oh, please, hide me somewhere quick, please.
00:56:03Will you please, Cush?
00:56:05He might hear you.
00:56:07He's a nice fellow, and industrious.
00:56:09We want you to meet him and like him
00:56:11before you get mixed up with some good-looking,
00:56:13worthless Negro.
00:56:14Now, hush.
00:56:15Oh, me.
00:56:17Oh, me.
00:56:19Then come on.
00:56:21Man, you know I ain't fittin' to meet no pretty girl.
00:56:23But, uh, say your apologies.
00:56:24My sister's being trained in what to expect on the farm.
00:56:26Come on.
00:56:27Well, if you say so, I'm going.
00:56:31Mr. Wade, this is my sister Naomi.
00:56:33Naomi, Mr. Wade.
00:56:35You must excuse her, Clyde.
00:56:36She's been in the Catholic school all her life.
00:56:38She's not yet used to men.
00:56:39Glad to meet you, Miss Saunders.
00:56:42Your folks have told me so much about you
00:56:44that I feel like I know you.
00:56:47Now that you've met, let's go in the house for dinner.
00:57:05I hate to do it.
00:57:06It doesn't seem altogether fair to her.
00:57:09But as I see it, Naomi's still a dangerous problem to us.
00:57:13She hasn't changed.
00:57:15She's simply restrained.
00:57:16She's been taught restraint.
00:57:18And if we can get her off on Clyde, who worships her
00:57:20already, then we can get a family started.
00:57:23It's the only way, Jimmy.
00:57:25Of course, Clyde is so blinded by her beauty
00:57:28and that pretty color until he'd be her slave.
00:57:32Otherwise, he's crazy.
00:57:34And I'm not so sure she'll stay with him,
00:57:36even if we succeed in getting her married to him.
00:57:39It's better this way than to let her pick.
00:57:42She'd be sure to pick some worthless good-looking city
00:57:45in that pardoned due time.
00:57:47She's too pretty to leave to her own fate.
00:57:50It's a risk marrying her off to Clyde.
00:57:52But since he's doubly anxious to have her,
00:57:54he couldn't blame us if it doesn't turn out all right.
00:57:58Mama!
00:57:59Oh, Jimmy!
00:58:01Oh, Jimmy, Jimmy, please, please!
00:58:04Please, Naomi, what do you mean, please?
00:58:06Please what?
00:58:06That man, that awful, ugly man.
00:58:09Oh, please send him away.
00:58:10I don't ever want to see him again.
00:58:11Please send him away, Jimmy.
00:58:13Now, now, darling, you mustn't be so foolish.
00:58:15Mr. Wade is a fine fellow, and everybody likes him.
00:58:17We want you to like him.
00:58:18Oh, I can't.
00:58:20I can't.
00:58:21He's so awfully ugly, too ugly.
00:58:24Oh, I'm afraid of him.
00:58:24Please, Jimmy, please, Mama.
00:58:26Send him away.
00:58:26Naomi, my darling, I love you.
00:58:30I love you truly.
00:58:32I fell in love with you the moment I laid my eyes on you.
00:58:37Will you be mine, darling?
00:58:40I love you truly.
00:58:42Naomi, do you love me, dear?
00:58:44No, you ugly rascal.
00:58:46I do not.
00:58:47And I wouldn't marry you if you're the last man on Earth.
00:58:49Be gone quickly, and never let me see
00:58:51that homely face of yours again.
00:58:53Did I hear a voice?
00:58:55Naomi's voice.
00:58:58Or am I just imagining things?
00:59:01No, I just imagined it.
00:59:23Listen, Jimmy, let's be perfectly frank with each
00:59:26other, will you agree to try to be?
00:59:30Your friend Clyde has asked me to marry him,
00:59:33and I know you and Mother want me to accept.
00:59:37I don't love the man, never will,
00:59:40and am willing to tell him so.
00:59:42I was a bad girl once and caused a lot of trouble,
00:59:46and realize now that things can't always be
00:59:48as I would like to have them.
00:59:51That is true, Naomi, they cannot.
00:59:53For that reason, I've decided to marry this man.
00:59:57But before I make this sublime sacrifice,
01:00:01for to marry a man I do not love is, to me,
01:00:04like committing suicide.
01:00:06Oh, don't make it that way, Naomi.
01:00:08You will make your mother and I.
01:00:10Unhappy, yes, I know that.
01:00:13I caused you enough trouble years ago.
01:00:16I'm going to sacrifice almost everything now to make amends.
01:00:20And I will.
01:00:21But before I do this, Jimmy, let us, as I started,
01:00:25be frank with each other.
01:00:28We are only foster brother and sister.
01:00:30You know that.
01:00:31And you know, too, Jimmy, that I love you, love you dearly.
01:00:36You know that you would marry me if you were not
01:00:38pledged to Eva.
01:00:40Now, I am willing to give up all that
01:00:42would be dear and sweet to me, to please you and our mother.
01:00:47I'm saying this for you to remember in the days to come.
01:00:50But wouldn't it be just as fair for you to sacrifice Eva
01:00:53and marry me and make me happy?
01:00:56I would be your slave until the end of time, Jimmy,
01:01:00and be happy in being your slave.
01:01:03But to do this, you would have to injure Eva,
01:01:06who is innocent.
01:01:08Either way it goes, one girl has got to suffer.
01:01:13I love you, Jimmy.
01:01:15And you love her.
01:01:17So I will be the one to suffer.
01:01:19I only wanted you to know how much I love you, crave you,
01:01:23worship you.
01:01:25Will you kiss me, Jimmy?
01:01:27And then, I guess we'll be goodbye.
01:01:45Poor kid.
01:01:49I'm sure he's going to be all right.
01:01:52I'm sure he will.
01:02:06Naomi, you?
01:02:09What in heaven's name are you doing here?
01:02:11And with your baby.
01:02:12Let me have the baby, Naomi, so I
01:02:14can go put it on the bed.
01:02:16Come, darling.
01:02:17Now, will you please explain what this is all about?
01:02:20I'm running away, Mother.
01:02:22I've left Clyde.
01:02:24You know I never loved a man, and I can stand it no longer.
01:02:28I've left him, and I'm leaving the Negro race.
01:02:31Oh, don't look at me like that.
01:02:32I've tried.
01:02:33Heaven knows I have.
01:02:35But I can't stand it any longer.
01:02:37My mind is made up, and I'm through.
01:02:41Guess what, Naomi?
01:02:42What about your baby?
01:02:43I'm going to have a baby.
01:02:44I'm going to have a baby.
01:02:45I'm going to have a baby.
01:02:46I'm going to have a baby.
01:02:47What about your baby?
01:02:48Surely you can't do that.
01:02:49I have done it, Mother.
01:02:51And to my baby, that is the hard part.
01:02:55Come, dear, and sit down.
01:03:00But your baby, Naomi, your beautiful little boy, surely.
01:03:04I have thought of all that, Mother.
01:03:07Do you suppose I don't love my child?
01:03:10Oh, God, forgive me.
01:03:12Forgive me.
01:03:14I understand, dear.
01:03:16You're just tired and upset.
01:03:18But you're still here, and you still have your baby.
01:03:22Just spend the night here with Mother,
01:03:24and then maybe tomorrow morning.
01:03:25I'm going on tonight, Mother.
01:03:27Please, don't try to stop me.
01:03:30I came to leave my baby with you.
01:03:33I know you will give it a mother's care.
01:03:35And if I ever decide to turn back,
01:03:38I'll know where to find it.
01:03:40But don't ask me to change my mind, for I won't.
01:03:44I'm going away from all I ever knew to the other side.
01:03:48And if I take my baby with me, I'll be branded.
01:03:52So you understand.
01:03:54Please try to forgive me.
01:03:56And don't hate me any more than you can help.
01:03:59You won't succeed on this fool's errand, Naomi.
01:04:03But I see your mind is made up.
01:04:06So I won't try to stop you.
01:04:08I tried so hard to save you from this.
01:04:11I did the best I could.
01:04:14But I failed.
01:04:15Now I can only say I'm sorry for you, Naomi.
01:04:18Sorry from the bottom of my heart.
01:04:21And I pray the Lord to try to forgive you,
01:04:25and guide you on to God knows where.
01:04:31To God knows where, Mother.
01:04:33I know.
01:04:35On to God knows where.
01:04:37Doctor.
01:04:38Hello.
01:04:39How is she?
01:04:40It's here.
01:04:41You'll be a happy man, and your wife is safe.
01:04:45Thank heaven.
01:04:46And a little girl this time.
01:04:49You're a lucky man.
01:04:50A boy, and now a fine little girl.
01:04:53The baby's in the nursery.
01:04:55I'll take you to your wife.
01:04:56Now this way, please.
01:05:01If you see me, you don't know me.
01:05:04If you see me, you don't know me.
01:05:07Even if you pass me on the street.
01:05:09I'm a stranger.
01:05:11You are a stranger.
01:05:12We are strangers who have never seen each other.
01:05:15Oh, I know it's hard, but for me, it's the only way.
01:05:19One other is suicide.
01:05:22And I still want to live, Mother.
01:05:24I want to live.
01:05:34Yes?
01:05:36Mrs. Sander speaking.
01:05:39Mother, this is Jimmy.
01:05:40Oh, it's you, Jimmy.
01:05:42How are you?
01:05:44Your voice sounds strange.
01:05:45Did something happen?
01:05:47Oh, Eva's all right.
01:05:48We're all happy.
01:05:50It's a little girl this time.
01:05:52She weighs eight pounds.
01:05:53Isn't that great?
01:05:55All right, Mother.
01:05:56I'll be home tomorrow.
01:05:58Be good.
01:05:58Goodbye.
01:06:05She's so good, your mother.
01:06:07Did she say anything about Naomi?
01:06:10Naomi?
01:06:11Why, no.
01:06:12I guess she's all right.
01:06:14She might even be calling to see how you are after a while.
01:06:17No, Jimmy.
01:06:19Naomi won't be calling.
01:06:21I have a feeling that something has happened to her.
01:06:25I talked with her several times before I came here.
01:06:29She's not satisfied and talks of strange things.
01:06:33Maybe you'd better call up Clyde.
01:06:36I dreamed of Naomi while under the ether.
01:06:39Please call up Clyde.
01:06:47Long distance?
01:06:50Garfield, 6055R.
01:06:55What?
01:06:57Oh, no.
01:06:58That's terrible.
01:07:00I'll see what I can do.
01:07:02I'll be at your place early tomorrow morning.
01:07:07Here?
01:07:08Yes, she's gone.
01:07:33Oh, look.
01:07:34Through the window, a woman.
01:07:57Oh, look.
01:07:58Through the window, a woman.
01:08:03I wonder if he did see someone out there.
01:08:05I'd better go and see.
01:08:07Yes, you better, Jimmy.
01:08:33I guess the child's mistaken.
01:08:34There's nobody around here.
01:08:44There was no one out there.
01:08:58I did see a woman, Grandma.
01:09:01That woman was way away.
01:09:04Yes, dear, I know you did.
01:09:06But nobody else saw her but you.
01:09:07So let's forget all about it and just
01:09:09pretend she wasn't there.
01:09:11You understand?
01:09:12All right, Grandma.
01:09:14Now can I go and play?
01:09:15Yes, dear, you can go and play.
01:09:31Oh, dear.
01:09:32Oh, dear.
01:09:33Oh, dear.
