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
Whas 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,
:42:00
except that is hard to get
and costs a lot.
:42:02
And that makes it good, Papa?
:42:03
What about the Russians? lt ain't
hard for them to get.
:42:06
Do they like it?
:42:07
Well, can you tie that? Now, ain't
we got the smartest kids?
:42:11
Papa, talk some more.
:42:13
Tell us all about the party, and
don't leave out anything.
:42:17
Oh, that can wait. Here... how's
that?
:42:22
Three dollars. Thera's good wages.
:42:25
And good tips, too.
:42:26
Papa, start. Was there music, and
did they dance?
:42:29
Aw, your mother's got no time for
all that.
:42:33
You could tell me. You used to.
:42:37
Well, it was kind of nice. Klompers,
their best room.
:42:43
And all fixed up with white flowers.
:42:45
There was flowers on the table,
flowers on the chandelier,
:42:48
and even on the floor.
:42:49
And here was a great big horseshoe
table,
:42:51
with lots of people all around.
:42:52
And right in front, a great big
wedding cake,
:42:54
it must have been three feet tall.
:42:56
Why didn't you bring home some of
that?
:42:58
Was the bride pretty?
:42:59
Well, she was maybe not so young,
but the...
