Daddy's a little out of
touch, isn't he?

:15:02
No. Very sweet, very sweet.
:15:06
He sees things pretty simply.
:15:10
You're either happy or unhappy.
:15:12
Married or not married.
:15:15
There's nothing in between.

I tried to get him to take out
other women after Mama died but....

:15:30
You know, she must have been
a very special person.

:15:34
I guess so.
I don't remember her very well.

:15:39
I remember her helping me
pick out this wallpaper.

:15:45
I'd chosen one with great big,
purple flowers on it.

:15:49
And she said to me...
:15:51
..."Just remember that once
you choose it...

:15:54
...it's gonna cover the walls
of your room for a long, long time."

:16:00
So I tried to imagine what those big,
purple flowers would look like...

:16:05
...on all the walls of my room...
:16:08
...every night when I was
falling asleep...

:16:10
...and every morning
when I was getting dressed.

:16:14
So I said to her,
"Which one would you choose, Mom?"

:16:20
And she said, "The one with
the daisies and the little rosebuds...

:16:25
...because daisies
are such homey flowers...

:16:31
...and rosebuds are so cheerful
and always waiting to bloom."

:16:37
That's lovely.
:16:40
I made a million plans
looking at this wallpaper.

:16:48
I was always waiting
for these rosebuds to open.
