The Trip to Bountiful Page #3

I bought it at the drugstore,

coming from the office.

How to Become an Executive?

My boss likes me.

Billy Davis told me he did,

he was positive he did. Today, he told me.

Billy Davis has been there 10 years now,

you know?

You getting sleepy now?

Yes. Are you?

Yes, I am.

Good night.

Good night.

Now from our KPRC: : : :

In the latest national news: : :

President Harry Truman said

today from the Oval...

- Mama?

- I'm all right, sonny.

I'm just still not sleepy.

Good night.

Ludie, please, son, I want to go home.

Mama, you know I can't make a living there.

We have to live in Houston.

Son, Ludie, I cannot stay here any longer.

I want to go home.

I beg you not to ask me this again.

There is nothing I can do about it.

- Ludie, it's 8:
15! Uppity, uppity, uppity!

- Yes, ma'am.

We shall gather at the river

It's too early for hymn singing.

Walk, don't run.

- Morning, Mama.

- Morning, son.

I'll have your toast ready for you

in a minute.

Why don't we have an early supper tonight?

6:
30, if that's all right with you and Mama?

And after supper I'll take you both

to the picture show.

Do you want to go downtown

or to one of the neighborhood movies?

Whatever you want to do, Jessie Mae.

Maybe it would do us good to go downtown.

Billy's picking me up.

I want to get in early.

Mr. Douglas is usually in before 9:00.

I think I'm doing the right thing

asking for a raise, don't you?

Sure.

Rita, this is Jessie Mae Watts.

Can I have an appointment for my hair?

2:
00? Nothing earlier?

I'll see you then. Bye.

- Bye, Mama.

- Bye, son.

- Holler if there's any mail down there.

- All right, I will.

- No mail for us.

- All right.

I can't understand about that pension check.

Can you?

No, ma'am.

You know, you are so absent-minded.

You don't think that you put it around

the room someplace...

by mistake?

I don't believe so.

You're listening to KTRH in Houston

on a beautiful Wednesday morning:

Clear skies, it's currently 68 degrees:

Bus wasn't fast enough for you

this morning, Ludie?

No. I'm hoping to get a chance

to speak to the boss...

before we start our work this morning.

- How's everything with your family?

- Fine.

The kids were full of life

this morning as, usual.

I said to Myrtle Sue, "My Lord, have mercy...

"we have a lot of live wires around here,

don't we?"

- How's your wife?

- She's fine.

Your mother lives with you, too,

doesn't she?

She sure does.

I'm gonna call Rosella and tell her

to meet me at the drugstore for a Coke.

Calling, O sinner

Would you stop that hymn singing?

Want me to jump right out of my skin?

You know what hymns do to my nerves.

And don't pout.

You know I can't stand pouting.
