to keep it holy.

Honour thy father and thy mother

that thy days may be long

upon the land that the Lord

thy God gives thee.

Thou shalt not kill.

Thou shalt not commit adultery.

Thou shalt not steal.

Thou shalt not bear false witness.

Thou shalt not covet thy

neighbor's wife.

Did you hear that, Ma? Isaac knows

the ten commandments by heart.

Yes, he just learned them

to win a prize.

At Sunday school.

I'm gonna be rich some day.

Sure I am!

Of course you will!

- And you know the first thing I'm gonna do?

- Tell me.

I'm gonna buy you something nice,

something you like.

That's sweet!

Can I guess what it is.

- I don't think you can guess it.

- A new Sunday dress, maybe?

Bigger than that.

Horses and a carriage!

- I'd love to ride in a carriage.

- If you owned it, eh?

- Would you ride with me?

- Would I?

- Go to bed, Johnny.

- Yes.

- We'll do that some fine day.

- Of course we will.

Good night.

Why don't you call it a day, Ma, and go

to bed? You've been up since daylight.

I'm not tired, it won't take me

any time at all to finish, dear.

- Just look at that grey hair.

- Where?

Right there.

I guess I'm getting to be

an old lady, Pa.

Well...

you'll never be old to me, Ma.

That's all that I care about.

- Good night.

- Good night.

I guess I'll drop in to tannery tomorrow

and see about that job.

- Is your back strong enough?

- There's nothing wrong with my back.

That creak don't amount to nothing.

You know when you sent me to

the grocery this morning.

Wheeler spoke to me again about that bill,

16 dollars and 83 cents.

16 dollars and 83 cents.

Pa, don't let that worry you. Mrs. Howard

sent over a big bundle of sowing.

That will help some.

Well, if it's clear in the morning,

call me early.

Yes, Pa.

Pa! Pa! Pa!

Pa, get off of your back!

16 dollars and 83 cents.

My mother was grey at 35.

16 dollars and 83 cents.

16 dollars...

Pa is sweet.

"You'll never be old to me, Ma".

Pa is sweet.

16 dollars and 83 cents.

Another quarter missing.

I'll have to count it all over.

16 dollars and 83 cents.

16 dollars and 83 cents.

16 dollars...

Johnny doesn't mean

to be a bad boy.

16 dollars and 83 cents.

16 dollars and 83 cents.

16 dollars and 83 cents.

16 dollars and 83 cents.

16 dollars and 83 cents.

16 dollars...

I must have slept an hour!

All this ironing!

16 dollars and 83 cents.

- Pa! Pa!

- Coming, Ma.

Hurry, the children will be here

in almost any moment.

Gee, Ma, that's pretty.

Didn't I always say

you was an artist at heart?

Pa Shelby, stop you talking nonsense

and hand me those gadgets.

Reach for them.

Are you gonna be sentimental

all your life?

As far as you're concerned, I am.
