00:19:42,890 --> 00:19:45,975
I have an acquaintance who works in
a jewelry store and he's coming...

331
00:19:46,143 --> 00:19:47,894
...to make an appraisal of that stuff.

- Compliments to women about looks.

And some of them give themselves
credit for more than they've got.

who told me, "I'm the glamorous type."

I says, "So what?"

- She didn't say nothing.

- Did it end the romance?

- To lay her cards on the table.

In the state of Louisiana we got here
what's known as the Napoleonic Code.

409
00:24:42,648 --> 00:24:46,859
Which says, what belongs to the wife
belongs to the husband and vice versa.

an impressive judicial air.

sister, I would get ideas about you.

- Don't play so dumb. You know what.

All right. Cards on the table.

a woman's charm is 50 percent illusion.

I tell the truth.

416
00:25:13,137 --> 00:25:14,637

anyone else on earth as long as I lived.

back of that little boy's mind of yours?

- ...all from one boy. Give those back.
- I'm just gonna have a look.

- Now, don't pull that stuff.

What's the rest of the papers?

Why did your mother
want to know my age?

1171

- My mother is sick, and...
- Oh, I'm sorry to hear it. Badly?

She won't live long...

...maybe just a few months,
and she worries because I'm not settled.

...much too completely.

It was like you suddenly turned
a blinding light...

always been half in shadow.

A nervousness, a tenderness...

He was just a human bottle-opener.

Then one time at a wedding party,
he broke his front teeth right off.

he was so ashamed of himself...

He dared to come in his work clothes to
repeat slander, vicious stories from you.

I gave him his walking papers.

But then he returned. He returned with
a box of roses to beg my forgiveness.

1769
01:46:52,281 --> 01:46:54,532
He implored my forgiveness.

1770
01:46:54,950 --> 01:46:58,369
But some things are not forgivable.

1771
01:47:00,122 --> 01:47:04,083
Deliberate cruelty is not forgivable!

1772
01:47:04,251 --> 01:47:07,003
It is one unforgivable thing,
in my opinion...

of which I have never...

...never been guilty.

1775
01:47:11,425 --> 01:47:14,677
So I said to him, "Thank you.

1776
01:47:14,845 --> 01:47:18,222
It was foolish of me to think that
we could adapt ourselves to each other.
