1:27:02
But I want to teII you one thing now,
Mr. Lamb.

1:27:05
I don't feeI mean anymore
about what I've done, not anymore...

1:27:10
...because there's a meaner man
in this worId than I am, Mr. Lamb.

1:27:14
So you feeI better about yourseIf?.
1:27:17
You bet I do.
1:27:18
You've spiked my business, aII right...
1:27:21
...and now I can't even raise the money
to keep my boy out of the penitentiary.

1:27:26
That's where you worked untiI you got me.
1:27:29
Are you accusing me?
1:27:32
Look at me.
1:27:34
I worked aII my Iife for you...
1:27:36
...and what I did when I quit didn't make...
1:27:39
...two cents worth of difference
in your Iife...

1:27:41
...and it Iooked Iike it'd mean
aII the difference...

1:27:44
...in the worId to my famiIy.
1:27:47
You think I did you a bad turn...
1:27:49
...and you've got me ruined for it,
and you've got my famiIy ruined...

1:27:53
...and if anybody'd toId me Iast year
I'd say such a thing...

1:27:56
...I'd caII him a dang Iiar.
1:27:59
But I do say it, Mr. Lamb...
1:28:01
...you're a doggone mean man.
1:28:12
Mr. Lamb, wait.
1:28:15
I mean what I say.
1:28:16
-Let him go.
-No, go on.

1:28:18
I gotta teII him what I think.
I'm aII right. He's ruined my business.

1:28:23
He's ruined aII of us.
1:28:27
You can't go thinking that badIy about Dad.
1:28:29
He was so upset he didn't know
what he was saying.

1:28:32
Upset, I shouIdn't wonder.
The danged oId fooI.

1:28:34
Yes, I guess he is an oId fooI.
1:28:36
-What?
-For Iistening to Mother and me.

1:28:38
It's aII my fauIt, this whoIe terribIe mess.
1:28:41
What are you taIking about?
1:28:43
You see...
1:28:44
...Mom was aIways after Dad...
1:28:46
...and after him
to make more money for me...

1:28:48
...so that I couId compete
with the other girIs in this town.

1:28:51
I guess parents wiII make any sacrifice
to see their chiIdren happy...

1:28:55
...and when Dad saw how unhappy I was,
he just did what he did.
