Money's no guarantee
of a happy, normal childhood.
:36:04
- You tell that
to someone else, Miss Speery.
- It's Mrs. Speery.
:36:09
- Excuse me.
- I'm telling it to you.
:36:13
Don't you think the two of you
might have something in common?
:36:17
- Not as I can see.
- You've kinda had your tail kicked too.
:36:22
[ Chuckles ]
I'll have to chew on that a while.
:36:34
You know...
:36:38
a couple years back I decided
to keep a dia...just like a girl.
:36:43
Dia's can be very productive.
:36:50
Did you ever think of writing
in a serious way?
:36:55
What makes you ask that, ma'am?
:36:58
You turn a phrase a certain way.
An image.
:37:05
You could write, you know.
:37:08
- I'd rather read.
- What do you read?
:37:10
Comics!
:37:16
[ Laughing ] I'd like to have passed out
when you asked my pa if I read comics.
:37:22
I got so mad, I could've
thrown you right through the door.
:37:25
Pencil, pad and everything. They
could've put me in jail for 20 years.
:37:29
"Who's he?" "Ah, nobody,
Just reads comics and sucks a jug."
:37:34
You're not being fair.
I didn't know you then.
:37:38
You made me small that day.
:37:42
- Do you read very much?
- Some.
:37:46
- Don't you wanna talk about it?
- It makes me very nervous
to talk about it, ma'am.
:37:51
See, I was helping at home, and
I was late gettin' out of high school.
:37:58
So being a year behind, and
a head taller didn't help any either.
