l've been in six or eight of them. Tell me, Mrs. Dempsey. . . . ..if you could go out there

and play with those children tonight. . . . ..what would you want to play? Well, l used to love all kinds of games,

especially jacks. l used to be elementary-school

jack champion. MAN [ON TV]: "He and his '500 hats'

lived in the kingdom of Didd." Don't say it, Agee. l'm thinking. But if l could tell my body

now what to do, l would dance. -Bartholomew Cubbins.

-Einstein. WOMAN [ON TV]:

Who is Bartholomew Cubbins? MAN [ON TV]:

Remember how to use him? Oh, what l wouldn't give

just to be hitting puberty again. Oh, oh. Remember this, Mrs. Dempsey? [SlNGlNG]

Not last night, but the night before Twenty-four robbers

Came knocking at my door -As I ran out, they ran in

-As I ran out, they ran in -And this is what they said to me

-And this is what they said to me Stop. You've had a full life, sweetheart.

Don't go sloppy on me now. And put on the shoes, huh? A good Jew only goes barefoot

when someone has died. -l'm not that kind of Jew.

-Well, l am, put them on. Mr. Weinstein,

what were you like as a boy? Oh, l loved to climb, anything.

Like a cat, l could climb. -l always wanted to be Douglas Fairbanks.

-Oh, you still do, Mr. Agee. l broke more bedsprings and bones. . . . ..by jumping from my dresser to the bed

and out the window. [ALL LAUGHlNG] Me, l like being old. My son has promised

to have me frozen. You're already frozen, popsicle-head. [ALL LAUGHlNG] And what about you, Mr. Bloom?

What did you play? -My game was kick the can.

-Oh, that was a boys' game. -My late husband, Jack Dempsey--

-Not the fighter? Oh, oh, not the fighter, not the fighter. Jack Dempsey was the most gentle man

who ever walked on the earth. Jack Dempsey loved that game. -He absolutely loved--

-Oh, what is the point of all this talk? Why are you dredging all this up?

lt isn't healthy. [SINGING] Birdie with the yellow bill

Hopped upon my windowsill -Cocked his eye and said:

-Cocked his eye and said: -Ain't you shamed, sleepyhead?

-Ain't you shamed, sleepyhead? -Marbles, now there was a game, huh?

-Yeah. Life was so simple and gentle

when l was a little girl. People took care of me. But they take care of you here. Miss Cox takes great care of you. Doesn't let you do a thing. Oh.. . But l had lots of friends and toys. -Toys, you want toys?

-Mm-hm. Toys. Why, they have toys here

to last you the rest of your life. -l love toys.
