1:37:05
This was in the paper and l cut it
out.
1:37:07
You got to read it to me.
Whas the matter, hon?
1:37:11
Nothing, l'm all right, Aunt Sissy.
1:37:13
No, you ain't. You ain't been since...
1:37:14
Look, don't you think you better
spill it to your Aunt Sissy?
1:37:17
What is it you want me to read to
you, Aunt Sissy?
1:37:19
Well, we'll get that out of the way
first. Look, here it is.
1:37:22
Likely you don't remember him, but
is my last husband, Bill.
1:37:25
The one l thought was dead,
but he ain't.
1:37:26
He's got his picture in there and l
want to know what it says.
1:37:28
Maybe it says where he lives so's l
can write to him about getting a
1:37:31
divorce or something.
1:37:32
l got the best husband in all the
world now,
1:37:34
and l don't want this here one
bobbing up and making no trouble.
1:37:36
He's a fireman someplace. l can tell
that from his clothes.
1:37:38
He was just starting out in the
fireman business...
1:37:40
lt says he's a hero. He saved some
people in a fire.
1:37:42
Does it say where?
1:37:43
The ninth precinct. Manhattan.
1:37:46
Manhattan, huh? Couldn't make the
grade in Brooklyn, l guess.
1:37:49
l want you to write to him, Francie.
Write this: "Dear Bill...
1:37:52
This says his name is Roland Polasky.
1:37:54
Thas right. l remember. Make it
"Dear Mr. Polasky.
1:37:59
Being's as now l'm married to
somebody else, l want you to see
1:38:02
about getting a real legal divorce.
1:38:03
Because l thought you was dead but
you ain't.
1:38:06
And because you got the money now on
account of the reward.
1:38:08
Yours very truly, Sissy." Something
like that.
1:38:10
But Aunt Sissy, he must have already
done that.
1:38:12
Because it says here he's married
again.
1:38:14
lt does?
1:38:16
"On the human interest side of the
story,
1:38:18
Mrs. Polasky had returned home only
the day before from the hospital,
1:38:21
after presenting Mr. Polasky with
a brand new son,
1:38:23
the fourth child of the marriage.
1:38:25
So, if he got a divorce that long
ago, you don't have to.
1:38:28
Then my being married to Bill, this
one l mean, is all legal?
1:38:31
Well, now, if that ain't a load off
my chest.
1:38:34
You know something, l think l'll
give Bill Polasky a wedding present.
1:38:38
But Aunt Sissy, you can't. He's been
married for years.
1:38:41
Four kids, huh? Must be a sickly
woman, this Mrs. Polasky,
1:38:45
going to the hospital just
to have a baby.
1:38:47
Oh, no, lots of people go there now
to have babies. ls better.
1:38:50
Sure enough? You know something?
1:38:53
l'm gonna cash in my funeral policy
and have my baby at a hospital.
1:38:57
And when my baby is born, and lives,
