Our everyday lives are real and true,
but all the stories in the world,

1:09:08
all the music, came out of
someone's imagination.

1:09:11
So, if we tell the truth, and write
the lies,

1:09:16
then they aren't lies
anymore, they become stories.

1:09:18
Like some of the very nice
compositions you've written, Frances.

1:09:22
Like the one about
my father taking me

1:09:24
to see the cotton fields
down south?

1:09:25
We didn't really go.
1:09:27
l rather imagined you didn't.
1:09:29
But don't you think it would be
still better

1:09:32
if you would write about the things
you really know about

1:09:36
and then add to them with
your imagination.

1:09:39
Even stories shouldn't be
just, well, pipe dreams.

1:09:44
Pipe dreamers can be very lovable
people but they don't help anybody.

1:09:49
But they don't help anybody. Now,
think about it a little.

1:09:53
And have a Merry Christmas.
And enjoy your pie.

1:10:00
Yes, Miss McDonald.
Thank you, Miss McDonald.

1:10:11
For Goïs sakes. Where've you been?
You were supposed to meet me...

1:10:14
Neeley, l'm going to be a writer.
1:10:17
All right, but les eat the pie.
1:10:21
Come on, we gotta see about our
Christmas tree.

1:10:23
Oh, golly, lis still there,
isn't it?

1:10:31
Yeah, is still here.
1:10:33
He ain't got much time
left to sell it.

1:10:34
Go on, beat it. You know l ain't
gonna throw 'em til midnight.

1:10:37
What do you want to do, block the
sidewalk?

1:10:39
Keep customers out?
1:10:40
Ah, you don't own the sidewalk!
1:10:43
How about this one, madam?
1:10:46
No, that one's too big.
l want a small one.

1:10:50
l got just what you want,
come over here, lady.

1:10:52
Well, now, thas more like it.
Thas the size.

1:10:55
ls awful big to get thrown at you.
1:10:58
Why does he have to throw 'em at us,
anyway?
