- Hi.
- Hi there, Ruth.
:16:30
No, no, child. I can manage.
:16:33
What's the matter with you?
:16:35
A little tired, I guess.
:16:38
I've been ironing since this morning.
:16:39
Leave some for me.
I'll get to them tonight.
:16:42
You think that's why
we want you home?
:16:44
So you can do
everybody else's work now?
:16:47
A little ironing
ain't never hurt nobody.
:16:50
The way you look, you need to be
sitting down immediately.
:16:54
You know something?
:16:55
I bet you got a touch
of that virus been going around.
:16:59
If you don't look better tomorrow,
stay home from work.
:17:02
I can't stay home. She's doing
her Saturday night entertaining.
:17:05
She'd have a fit
if I don't show up.
:17:07
Let her have it. I'll just call up
and say you got the flu.
:17:10
- Why the flu?
- Because it sounds respectable.
:17:13
Something white folks get too.
They know about the flu.
:17:16
Otherwise, they'll think you
been cut up or something.
:17:20
- Where's my baby?
- In there doing his homework.
:17:23
Tomorrow is Saturday.
:17:24
- The child don't need...
- Every Sunday...
:17:26
...he's too tired, or he forgot
what the teacher told him.
:17:30
Awful hot to be cooped up
with books.
:17:31
- Lena.
- I ain't meddling.
:17:36
I just noticed his eyes been looking
sort of strained lately.
:17:40
A child ought to have plenty of rest
and plenty of sunshine.
:17:43
I take care of my son.
:17:45
I ain't meddling.
:17:49
- When will you let him out?
- In 15 minutes.
:17:51
Is that all right?
:17:53
Darling, I ain't meddling.
:17:58
Why don't you make it 10?
