Your loving husband, Robert.''
1:00:34
That's nice, Mama.
1:00:35
""Dear Helen.""

1:01:21
Bobby, your daddy didn't
go into no Peace Corps.
1:01:26
He deserted us, baby.
1:01:30
No, no, Mama.
You-You--
1:01:32
You shouldn't be dredgin' up these
painful memories in your condition.
1:01:34
0h, hush. Your mama's
as healthy as an ox,
1:01:37
and as dumb as one to boot.
1:01:39
l was so scared
you'd abandon me too.
1:01:41
And l made you abandon
all those people who depend on ya.
1:01:46
l hid you away from the world,
Bobby Boucher.
1:01:49
But l can't hog you
to myself no more,
1:01:52
because everyone's seen
how wonderful you are.
1:01:57
- 0h, Mama !
- Now.
