:22:08
What are you thinking, Glenn?
:22:13
About the dreams
I used to have.

:22:17
Of money, fame.
:22:21
Is that what you want?
:22:28
I could've bought my ma her freedom
with money and fame.

:22:32
" Bought"?
I don't quite follow that.

:22:44
Listen, ma'am,
my ma was enslaved on our farm.

:22:48
I do mean enslaved.
:22:52
Many times I've seen her...
:22:56
out in the hot sun
chopping cotton...

:22:59
while them two men
laid up drunk and wasted.

:23:04
She done the meals,
she done the chores...

:23:07
that Hank wouldn't do
and I couldn't.

:23:14
And then, that lady--
:23:18
and she was a lady, ma'am--
:23:24
she'd soak her old stockings
in buttermilk...

:23:30
and put 'em on her arms,
not to burn...

:23:33
and go work in the sun...
:23:36
while Pa's fishing the river
with a jug by his rump.

:23:43
My point, ma'am--
:23:46
my point is I'd have bought Ma
away from there if I'd had the cash.

:23:55
I'd have brought her
into town...

:23:58
give her a house like this
on a quiet street...
