:10:02
Well, l trot around, same as usual,
to collect her weekly dime

:10:06
and what do you think happens?
:10:07
Sell, sir, she gives me two dimes.
:10:10
Yes, sir, she's done it again.
:10:12
She's got herself a brand new
husband.

:10:15
Oh, no.
:10:16
Well, now, l suppose you mean about
her still being married.

:10:18
l don't mind saying, l had the same
thought myself.

:10:21
But, l'm sure it must be all right.
:10:22
She must have made some arrangement.
:10:24
l'm quite sure she did, Mr. Barker.
l'm sure that anything...

:10:27
Does she call this one Bill too?
:10:29
You children run along now and do
the marketing.

:10:31
Go on, take some money
from the cup...

:10:33
Oh, but Mom, l want to hear about...
:10:34
Take the money from the cup and get
a five cent soup bone off of Haslin.

:10:36
Don't get the chopped meat off him,
though.

:10:38
He grinds it behind closed doors,
and heaven only knows.

:10:41
Go to Werner's for the meat.
:10:42
Ask for round steak, chopped,
ten cents worth.

:10:44
And don't let him give it to you off
the plate.

:10:46
And ask him to chop it in.
:10:48
And then just at the last ask for a
piece of suet to fry it with.

:10:52
But he won't always do that, Mama.
:10:54
Tell him your Mama said.
And then go for the bread.

:10:56
ls Saturday, Mama, and...
:10:57
All right, ask for a nice pie,
not too crushed. Now, go on.

:11:00
But, Mama, we know Aunt
Sissy's been married before!

:11:02
Thas not...
- Sure. l can remember two Uncle Bills.

:11:04
Thas nothing for you to talk about.
:11:06
Now run along now and get things
done.

:11:13
You got no right, Mr. Barker,
:11:14
to be carrying tales about
my sister as though.

:11:16
there were something wrong.
:11:18
She may be funny some ways, but she
wouldn't do nothing wrong.

:11:22
So, l'd like it if you didn't talk
to people like it was.

:11:25
Strike nee dead if l'd ever think of
mentioning it to anyone but you...

:11:28
Yeah, sure, l know.
:11:30
Well, you might as well go on now
and tell me what you do know.

:11:34
No point in my being the only one
that don't hear it.

:11:37
Well...
:11:39
Ten cents worth of round steak, do
you want it ground?

:11:40
No, thank you.
- You sure?

:11:42
lt wasn't twenty minutes ago l
ground that whole plate full fresh.

:11:45
No, thank you.
:11:54
Oh, l forgot, now. My Mama wants it
ground.

:11:56
You don't tell me.
