:23:03
I work cheap when I can take my time
and get into some conversing.
:23:11
Well, I ain't one to hurry.
:23:15
We got one hurrier in the family
and that's enough.
:23:17
Mrs. Popham does everything
right on the dot.
:23:20
Sometimes I get terrible sick
of seeing that dot.
:23:23
Which reminds me,
it's getting along toward noon time.
:23:26
I'd better be digging for home.
:23:28
Mariah sits
and looks at the clock from 11:00 on.
:23:31
Then she'll get a meal
of cold pork and greens,
:23:34
cold string beans, ginger bread
and custard pie on the table.
:23:39
Then she'll holler, "Hurry up, Ossian!"
:23:41
"It struck 12:00 more than two minutes
ago and everything's getting overdone!"
:23:45
- Well, so long, folks.
- Goodbye! Thank you.
:23:57
Thanks for letting me
crank her up, Digby.
:24:10
Pa, I've been doing some thinking.
:24:13
Good. Thinking never hurt anybody.
:24:16
Pa, do you realize the farthest I've
ever been from Beulah is Four Corners
:24:20
and I was too young to even remember?
:24:24
What are you getting at, Son?
:24:25
Pa, do you realize I ain't never
seen nothing or done nothing?
:24:31
- Go on.
- You yourself said, Pa,
:24:34
a man never gets anywhere
standing in one place.
:24:37
How much am I paying you, Digby?
:24:40
Three dollars a week. But a fella
can make that in one day in the city.
:24:46
You gonna put a stop to it, Pa?
:24:50
Nope. Might as well
get it out of your system.
:24:55
Might be coming
about the right time, too.
:24:59
The boy, Gilbert. He ought to be able to
take on the job of driving this truck.
