fried oysters, caviar from far off
sunny Russia,

:40:06
and cheese from the mountain
passages of la belle France.

passages of France?

:40:15
ls it better coming from there,
Papa?

:40:17
Oh, is supposed to be mighty good.
:40:18
but coming home like this,
l know thas good.

:40:21
Well, les eat it. No reason we
shouldn't have a party of our own.

:40:29
l'm hungry.
:40:30
ls that all you got to say to your
Papa?

:40:33
Hello, Pop.
:40:35
His stomach's like the lrish Sea. No
bottom to it.

:40:37
Mama, your wedding comb.
:40:40
Well, ain't this a kind of wedding
party?

:40:45
You bet it is. l wish l coulda
swiped some champagne.

:40:49
Oh, no l don't. Coffee's better.
:40:51
But, look who's telling me l don't
know about those mountain

:40:54
passages of France.
:40:55
Oh, that.
:40:56
Yeah, that. lmagine you forgetting.
:40:58
Well, l didn't forget, not exactly.
Only it was a long time ago.

:41:02
What do you think of a Mama that
forgets

:41:03
where she went on her honeymoon?
:41:04
Did you really go there, Mama?
:41:06
of course not, your Papa's joking.
:41:07
Sure we did. Or just the same as. We
spent our honeymoon in a school.

:41:10
lt was as big as a palace.
:41:11
We just worked there nights, the two
of us, cleaning.

:41:14
lt was right here in Brooklyn before
you was born.

:41:16
That ain't what you told you then.
:41:17
You mean to say that when we was
having our supper there alone,

:41:20
and l used to pull down them maps
and take the teacher's pointer

:41:23
and pick out the places we'd pretend
we was that night.

:41:25
You mean to say we really wasn't
there?

:41:26
You mean you forgot that sunny
France was where we liked the best?

:41:32
And all the laughing we used to do
there?

:41:34
You're going to sit right down and
tell me we really wasn't there?

:41:37
Well, l guess we was kind of at that.
:41:39
And you're going to tell me l don't
know about them

:41:40
mountain passages of France.
:41:42
Katie Nolan, l'm ashamed of you.
:41:44
Wasn't there nobody in the school
but you, Papa?

:41:46
No, sir, we had the whole place to
ourselves...

:41:48
or he'll have you believing
you was in France, too.

:41:51
No, Papa, talk some more.
:41:52
Whas this here stuff?
:41:54
Caviar. That comes all the way from
Russia. Them's fish eggs.

:41:56
Fish eggs!
:41:57
Yeah.
:41:59
l never could get it why they like
it myself,
