:19:03
Couldn't you say something to her?
Not to be too mad to Aunt Sissy?
:19:07
That l could, Prima Donna, and that
l will.
:19:09
Oh, thank you, Papa.
:19:10
Now, haven't you got just one little
wish for yourself? Just one wish?
:19:15
Just for you.
:19:17
Well... Did you see it, Papa?
- What?
:19:21
Out the window. Our tree. They've
killed it!
:19:27
Well, would you look at that now?
:19:30
They didn't have any right to kill
it, did they, Papa?
:19:34
Oh now, wait a minute. They didn't
kill it.
:19:37
Why they couldn't kill that tree.
:19:39
Honest?
:19:40
Oh, why sure, baby.
:19:41
Don't tell me that tree's gonna lay
down and die that easy.
:19:44
Look at that tree, see where is
coming from?
:19:47
Right up out of the cement.
Didn't nobody plant it.
:19:50
lt didn't ask the cement could it
grow.
:19:53
lt just couldn't help growing so
much it
:19:54
pushed that old cement right
out of the way.
:19:56
Why, when you're busting with
something like that,
:19:58
can't anybody help it.
:19:59
Like... Like that little old bird
right up there. Listen to him.
:20:08
He didn't ask anybody could he sing,
:20:09
and he certainly didn't take
any lessons.
:20:11
He's so full of singing, is just
got to bust out someplace.
:20:15
Why they could cut that old tree
right down to the ground
:20:17
and a root would push up
someplace else in the cement.
:20:19
You wait till Spring, Prima Donna
and you'll see.
:20:24
Well, this ain't winning the family
bread, huh?
:20:29
Come on, ain't you got one nice
little wish just for yourself?
:20:34
No, Papa. l just...
- Just what?
:20:39
l just love you so much, Papa.
:20:42
Well, what do you know.
:20:47
Listen, if l make a lot of tips
tonight, you know what l'm gonna do?
:20:53
What Papa?
:20:55
l'm gonna put two bucks on the nose
of a horse l know is running Monday.
:20:58
And l'll win ten. Then l'll put it
on another horse.
