and l wondered...
:51:03
You don't have to know the words,
Frances, just the meter.

:51:06
But if beauty is truth and thas
all ye need, l mean, all you need to

:51:10
know, then that means that is the
most important thing.

:51:13
And if a man, i mean if somebody,
spent all his time trying to be that.

:51:21
well is hard to put...
but no matter what else he did, then.

:51:26
Then what, Frances?
:51:28
Then it would be all right.
Wouldn't it?

:51:31
l'm afraid l don't understand, a
thing you're saying, Frances.

:51:35
And we're late now with our
arithmetic.

:51:37
Class will get their arithmetic...
:51:41
Pop, why don't the Katz and Jamma
kids talk plain English?

:51:44
ls supposed to make it funny.
l guess.

:51:48
Francie, you've been staring out
that window over half an hour,

:51:50
can't you make up your mind
to do something?

:51:52
What shall l do?
:51:54
Well, you used to like to do your
homework Sundays.

:51:56

:52:00
Now you're getting some sense.
:52:01

was last.

:52:04
Mama, you know that big market on
Clancy Street, down the hill?

:52:08
You can't play there, if thas what
you mean,

:52:17
And well, Mom, you know whas just
a couple blocks

:52:19
away from that market?
:52:20
Another market, l guess,
:52:22
and am l supposed to guess whas

:52:24
Francie why don't you say what you
mean.

:52:27
l didn't mean anything l guess.
:52:30
Neeley, sometimes l think you make
these holes on purpose.

:52:34
Papa?
:52:36
Yes, baby?
:52:37

:52:39
What was it, Francie.
:52:41

:52:44
lt said people would look and feel a
lot better if they did more of it.

cheeks, it said.

:52:50
