I can't get back to the simple,
happy kid I used to be.

:04:14
The kid I used to be.
:04:38
Take that whistle out of your mouth.
:04:40
You can't deliver groceries
and blow a kazoo.

:04:42
- Hi, Pop.
- Paul, off with coat, up with the tapioca.

:04:45
Nope. Leave your coat on. Wash
your face. You're going out with Papa.

:04:49
- Paul is going out with Papa?
- You're gonna buy him a birthday present.

:04:53
Why, Esther, Saturday's my busiest day.
:04:55
Besides, you cooked him a cake.
When I was a boy...

:04:58
What was a birthday without a present?
:05:00
All right. I'll build him
a nice house with a ketchup carton.

:05:04
Take him to Jeffers.
Let him choose.

:05:07
- He's too old to play house.
- He's too young to know what he wants.

:05:10
No matter. If he wants it,
it's a good present.

:05:29
Well, here we are, Paul.
Lots of nice things, aren't there?

:05:32
- Hello, Mr. Jeffers.
- Hello, Boray.

:05:34
- For the boy?
- Who else?

:05:36
Look around, Paul. Pick something,
anything up to a dollar and a half.

:05:40
Well? The sheep.
:05:42
But the small one's better. Look.
:05:44
It's almost human.
Wouldn't you like that?

:05:47
No, that's for kids.
:05:48
Maybe there's something for big boys.
Let's see. Oh, here's something.

:05:52
A windmill.
:05:53
- Don't you like that?
- No.

:05:54
- He doesn't like it.
- Your boy like baseball?

:05:57
Well, who doesn't like baseball in America,
Mr. Jeffers? It's an institution.
