around 74 bales of cotton through that old gin

the shape it's in now. That thing ain't gonna

take much... Excuse me, but Ben, can i

talk to you for a second? - Yeah. Sure.

-L'm sorry. Well, yeah. That's fine. I believe Ben's a good man,

Mr. Buckner. What's the matter, hon? Those women are talking

about the house. You know, every time I'd invite

them over for coffee, every one of them found

an excuse. Is that right? Yeah, they keep giving me

the strangest looks, Ben I don't know what it is. Kind of gives me

an eerie feeling. Well... You might be shy, you know.

Feeling shy you know, it takes time to get

to know people. Who makes time to come knocking

your door down to come get that coffee

and cake? I don't know but, do you

mind if we go? - I would like to go.

- Really? Yeah.

Do you mind? Alright. - Mr. Watkins?

- Yes ma'am? Mr. Watkins, are you

folks leaving? Yes ma'am. I wouldn't want you

to leave without taking this pie with you. - Thank you.

- Thank you. You folks come back and see us

again real soon. - Thank you, ma'am.

- We will, thanks. - Bye, bye,

139"] Bye, bye. You want a piece of pie before

we go to bed? - You tryin' to fatten me up?

- Mm-hmm. Well you know I will. Go on upstairs and get

ready, I'll bring it up to you. You don't have to do that. Well, I know I don't have to

do that Ben, but I want to. Ben, I'm sorry I was sitting

there crying the whole time you were telling me that

good news. It's your day and I want it to

end right, okay? 0k3)!- go on upstairs, I'll be

right there. Alright, you hurry it up. I will. Ben! Ben! There's somebody on the porch! Ben, he was standing

right there. Give me that flashlight. Stay inside. I didn't see anybody. Ben, look at that. And that's exactly where

he was standing too. Ben, who do you think it was? I don't know. It could have been... One of the hobos, you know? Railroad tracks out on south 40. Looking for a place to sleep,

you know, in the rain. Probably thought this place

was still vacant. Your scream probably scared him

more than he did you. Yeah I guess so. Oh, my China. Well, you want a piece of pie? No, no thanks. Ruth, come on!

We're gonna be late. All

passengers for the cotton line railroad

now boarding. Little rock, Memphis,

and Chicago. I brought some more cookies! Would you like some more tea? Yes please, I would. Thank you. Oh, it is so nice of you

to drop by and see me, Mrs. Watkins. Oh, call me Ruth, please. Alright, I'll do just that Ruth. I'm also gonna give you

some friendly advice about all this worrying

you've been doing, hm? Now you listen to me honey, I know exactly how you feel. Before I moved here,

i didn't see too much of my husband either. He's all the time working
