I think that's one of the things with Nova.

Trudy wasn't there to help guide her,

tell her things that I can't tell her

or couldn't tell her. I didn't know how.

When, uh, me and Trudy finally broke up

that -- that -- that last time, she said to me --

she said...

she said, "Ernest,

love goes its own way, just like a road.

You can't force it to make it go your way.

If you're smart,

you'll just flow with it."

Wise woman, wise woman.

Our daughters will be wise one day, too,

when they come to understand

that it doesn't matter how love comes --

rich, poor, man, woman,

Black, White,

here or hereafter...

...it flows its own way.

And you got to flow with it.

Billie: With the co-op funds, Charley's mill collateral,

and Hollywood and Vi's contribution, we had 250k.

And then that big anonymous donation

out of D.C. brought us to $450,000.

And Betty's farm as collateral gave a-another --

$75k. So then we put in the movie money.
