:55:00
''Boy, you take your punishment
with a smile.
:55:02
''I didn't raise you to steal,
so don't expect me to cry...
:55:05
''...because you got it tough
behind the bars.''
:55:07
Perry's no fool. He knows when he's beat.
:55:11
You fellows have got him whipped forever.
The law's the boss.
:55:14
He knows the difference
between right and wrong.
:55:16
I taught my kids a golden rule:
Always tell the truth...
:55:19
...wash in the morning,
be sober and independent.
:55:22
I showed him how.
:55:23
How to prospect, how to trap fur,
how to carpenter, how to bake bread...
:55:27
...how to be his own boss.
:55:30
Yes, he's a chip off the old block, all right.
:55:33
I never had no trouble with my kids,
not as long as Flo and me was together.
:55:39
But she wanted the wild life.
:55:42
So she took the kids and ran off.
Turned them against me.
:55:45
All but Perry.
:55:47
I don't know what got into her.
:55:49
She started drinking.
Turned into a hopeless drunk.
:55:52
Started stepping out with young men.
I caught her once and I....
:55:59
Anyway, she died drunk.
:56:01
Choked to death on her own vomit.
:56:04
So I took Perry and we started roaming
to forget it all.
:56:12
I took him with me everywhere.
:56:20
How that boy loved me.
:56:27
At night, when it was cold...
:56:32
...we'd sleep cuddled up.
:56:37
He'd hang onto me with his little arms,
so tight.
:56:46
I'd tell him stories about
the great adventures we was gonna have.
:56:55
How we was gonna strike it rich.
