- I was praying.Copy !req
381. Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know.
I - I thought -Copy !req
382. You thought, Willa, that the moment
you walked in that door...Copy !req
383. I'd start to pawin' you
in that abominable way...Copy !req
384. that men are supposed to do
on their weddin' night.Copy !req
385. - Ain't that right now?
- No, no, no.Copy !req
386. I think it's time we made one thing
perfectly clear, Willa.Copy !req
387. Marriage to me represents a blending
of two spirits in the sight of heaven.Copy !req
388. Get up, Willa.Copy !req
389. - Ηarry, what -
- Get up.Copy !req
390. Now, go look at yourself
yonder in that mirror.Copy !req
391. Do as I say.Copy !req
392. Look at yourself.Copy !req
393. What do you see, girl?Copy !req
394. You see the body of a woman -Copy !req
395. the temple of creation and motherhood.Copy !req
396. You see the flesh of Eve
that man since Adam has profaned.Copy !req
397. That body was meant
for begettin' children.Copy !req
398. It was not meant for the lust of men.Copy !req
399. Do you want more children, Willa?Copy !req
400. I -Copy !req
401. No.Copy !req
402. It’s the business of this marriage
to mind those two you have now...Copy !req
403. not to beget more.Copy !req
404. Yes.Copy !req
405. All right, you can get in bed now
and stop shiverin'.Copy !req
406. Help me to get clean...Copy !req
407. so I can be what Ηarry
wants me to be.Copy !req
408. Meanest, orneriest, sneakingest critter
in the whole river, boy.Copy !req
409. A gar.Copy !req
410. - Ηere are your can of hooks, Uncle Birdie.
- Pshaw, boy.Copy !req
411. Ain't a hook in the land
strong enough to land Mr. Gar.Copy !req
412. What a feller needs is mother wit
and a horsehair.Copy !req
413. Golly. Won't it bust it, Uncle Birdie?Copy !req
414. Nah, a horsehair will hold
a lumpin' whale.Copy !req
415. - You mind my cussin', boy?
- No.Copy !req
416. Well, the reason I ask,
your step-pa bein' a preacher and all -Copy !req
417. Never was much of a one
for preachers my own self.Copy !req
418. I don't know what's wrong
up at your house...Copy !req
419. but always remember, cap...Copy !req
420. if you're ever in trouble,
holler and come a-runnin'.Copy !req
421. Uncle Birdie's your friend.Copy !req
422. There! There, you slimy, snag-toothed,
bait-stealin' so-and-so!Copy !req
423. - Amen! Amen!
- Amen!Copy !req
424. Amen!Copy !req
425. - You have all sinned.
- Yes! Yes!Copy !req
426. Which one of you can say,
as I can say...Copy !req
427. - that you drove a good man to murder?Copy !req
428. Because I kept a-houndin' him
for perfume...Copy !req
429. and clothes and face paint!Copy !req
430. - And he slew two human beings!Copy !req
431. - And he come to me, and he said...Copy !req
432. "Take this money and buy yourself
the clothes and the paint!"Copy !req
433. - Yes! Yes!
- But, brethren -Copy !req
434. Brethren,
that's where the Lord stepped in!Copy !req
435. - That's where the Lord stepped in!
- Yes!Copy !req
436. "Ye," said the Lord to that man...Copy !req
437. "you take that money...Copy !req
438. and you throw it in the river!"Copy !req
439. - In the river!
- In the river!Copy !req
440. Now, you're John, and you're Pearl.Copy !req
441. Pearl? Pearl?Copy !req
442. You'll get awful mad, John.
I done a sin.Copy !req
443. - Pearl!
- I didn't tell no one.Copy !req
444. Pearl, oh, Pearl.Copy !req
445. It’s all here.Copy !req
446. - John.
- Oh - Yes?Copy !req
447. - What are you doing, boy?
- Gettin' Pearl to bed.Copy !req
448. - What's taking you so long about it?
- Nothing.Copy !req
449. What's that you're playin' with?Copy !req
450. Uh, Pearl's junk. Mom gets mad
when she plays out here and don't put it away.Copy !req
451. Come on, children.Copy !req
452. Off to bed with the both of you.Copy !req
453. Come here, John.Copy !req
454. Your mother tells me you tattled on me.Copy !req
455. She said you told her
I asked where that money was hid.Copy !req
456. That wasn't very nice, boy.Copy !req
457. Have a heart.Copy !req
458. Yeah.Copy !req
459. Well, it doesn't matter.
It’s your word against mine.Copy !req
460. It’s me your mother believes.Copy !req
461. Were you impudent again
to Mr. Powell, John?Copy !req
462. Mom, I didn't mean it.Copy !req
463. What were you impudent about?Copy !req
464. He asked me about the money again, Mom.Copy !req
465. John, you always make up that lie.Copy !req
466. There is no money.Copy !req
467. Why can't you get that through your head?Copy !req
468. The boy's as stubborn
and as mulish as a sheep.Copy !req
469. - It’s a shame.
- Good night, Icey.Copy !req
470. - Good night, honey.
- Good night, Walt.Copy !req
471. Good night, Willa.Copy !req
472. Plan on a longer visit next time.Copy !req
473. You hardly get settled
before you're frettin' to get home again.Copy !req
474. I'm needed to keep peace
and harmony betwixt them.Copy !req
475. It’s my burden,
and I'm proud of it, Icey.Copy !req
476. - Where's the money hid?
- I don't know.Copy !req
477. She thinks that money's
at the bottom of the river.Copy !req
478. But you and me, we know better,
don't we, little lad?Copy !req
479. I don't know nothin'.Copy !req
480. Well, never mind, boy.
The summer's young yet.Copy !req
481. Pearl?Copy !req
482. Come here.Copy !req
483. John's a fella likes to keep secrets.
I’ll tell you a secret.Copy !req
484. Yes?Copy !req
485. I knowed your daddy.Copy !req
486. And you know what your daddy told me?Copy !req
487. Ηe said,
"You tell my little girl Pearl...Copy !req
488. that there's to be no secrets
between her and you."Copy !req
489. - Yes?
- All right. Now it's your turn.Copy !req
490. What secret shall I tell?Copy !req
491. Oh, uh, what's your name?Copy !req
492. You're just fooling.
My name's Pearl.Copy !req
493. Tsk, tsk, tsk.
Well, I reckon I'll have to try again.Copy !req
494. Uh, where's the money hid?Copy !req
495. Pearl, you swore you wouldn't tell!
You swore! You swore! You swore!Copy !req
496. You hit Daddy with a hairbrush.Copy !req
497. Oh.Copy !req
498. Now, you see? We just can't have
anything to do with John.Copy !req
499. You and me are goin' down
to the parlor, Pearl.Copy !req
500. John was just plumb bad
through and through.Copy !req
501. - John's bad.
- Yes, John's bad.Copy !req
502. Tell me another secret about my dad.Copy !req
503. Oh, no. Your turn.Copy !req
504. All right. What secret shall I tell?Copy !req
505. Mmm. Where's the money hid?Copy !req
506. - John's bad.
- Where's the money hid?Copy !req
507. You tell me, you little wretch,
or I’ll tear your arm off!Copy !req
508. - Icey, I'm worried about Willa.
- How do you mean?Copy !req
509. Well, I'm figurin' how to say it
so as you won't get mad.Copy !req
510. Say what, Walt Spoon?Copy !req
511. - There's something wrong about it, Mother.
- About what?Copy !req
512. - About Mr. Powell, all of it.
- Walt!Copy !req
513. Now, Mother, a body's
got a right to their feelings.Copy !req
514. May the Lord have mercy on you,
Walt Spoon.Copy !req
515. Now, Mother, I was just -Copy !req
516. Amen.Copy !req
517. Are you through praying?Copy !req
518. I'm through, Ηarry.Copy !req
519. You were listening
outside the parlor window.Copy !req
520. - It ain't in the river, is it, Harry?
- Answer me.Copy !req
521. Ben never told you he throwed it
in the river, did he?Copy !req
522. The children know where it's hid.Copy !req
523. John knows. Is that it, Harry?Copy !req
524. Then it's still here amongst us...Copy !req
525. tainting us.Copy !req
526. You must have known about it
all along, Harry.Copy !req
527. But that ain't the reason
why you married me.Copy !req
528. I know that much.Copy !req
529. Because the Lord just wouldn't let it be.Copy !req
530. He made you marry me...Copy !req
531. so you could show me
the way and the life...Copy !req
532. and the salvation of my soul.Copy !req
533. Ain't that so, Harry?Copy !req
534. So you might say that it was the money
that brung us together.Copy !req
535. The rest of it don't matter.Copy !req
536. Walt! Come quick!Copy !req
537. - What's wrong, Mother?
- Shh! He's in there.Copy !req
538. - Who?
- Mr. Powell.Copy !req
539. Willa has run away.Copy !req
540. I'll be switched. Just went?Copy !req
541. She took out some time in the night
in that old Model "T."Copy !req
542. - Oh, is he hit pretty bad?
- All to pieces.Copy !req
543. - There's a little peach brandy in here.
- Walt!Copy !req
544. - A man of the cloth?
- Well, just a sip.Copy !req
545. - Walt Spoon, that's for sickness in the house!Copy !req
546. - Well, what can we do, Mother?
- I thought if you went and talked to him -
you know, another man.Copy !req
547. - Oh, no, now, Mother, please.
No, I'm no good at -
- Get in there.Copy !req
548. - Mr. Powell?
- A strange woman is a narrow pit.Copy !req
549. Amen. Amen.Copy !req
550. She lieth in wait as for prey
and increaseth the transgressors among men.Copy !req
551. Oh, my dear, dear friends,
whatever would I do without you?Copy !req
552. Mr. Powell!Copy !req
553. Well, if there's anything -
anything we can -Copy !req
554. No, it's my shame. It’s my crown of thorns.
I must wear it bravely.Copy !req
555. What could have possessed that girl?Copy !req
556. - Satan.
- Ah!Copy !req
557. Didn't you have no inklin'?Copy !req
558. Yes, I did from the very first night.Copy !req
559. - First night?
- Our honeymoon.Copy !req
560. How's that?Copy !req
561. She turned me out of the bed.Copy !req
562. No.Copy !req
563. - Well, what do you figure to do?
- Do?Copy !req
564. Why, just stay right here
and take care of them kids.Copy !req
565. Maybe it was never meant for a woman
like Willa to taint their young lives.Copy !req
566. - Mmm. Mmm.
- It’s mighty brave of you, Preacher.Copy !req
567. Oh, I reckon it was just ordained
that way, brother Spoon.Copy !req
568. Didn't - Didn't she leave no word?Copy !req
569. A scrawl on a notepaper on the bureau.Copy !req
570. I burned it.Copy !req
571. Tore it up and burned it.
It stank so strong of hellfire.Copy !req
572. Amen.Copy !req
573. The pitcher has went to the well
once too often, friends.Copy !req
574. Oh, she’ll come draggin' her tail back home.Copy !req
575. She'll not be back.
I reckon I'm safe in promisin' you that.Copy !req
576. - Maybe she's just run off on a spree.
- No, no.Copy !req
577. - Well, there's no harm in hopin'.
- Ain't no sense in it neither.Copy !req
578. I figured somethin' like that was brewin'
when she went to bed last night.Copy !req
579. How?Copy !req
580. Well, she tarried around in the kitchen
after I'd gone up...Copy !req
581. and when I went downstairs
to see what was wrong -Copy !req
582. What?Copy !req
583. Well, she'd found this jar
of dandelion wine...Copy !req
584. that the husband - this Harper -
had hid somewheres in the cellar.Copy !req
585. - She was drinkin'.
- Oh!Copy !req
586. I tried to save her.Copy !req
587. I know you did, Mr. Powell.
I know how hard you tried.Copy !req
588. But the devil wins sometimes.Copy !req
589. Can't nobody say
I didn't do my best to save her.Copy !req

618. Mr. Powell.Copy !req
619. Well, well, Mrs. Spoon.Copy !req
620. Where are the children?Copy !req
621. They're down there in that cellar
playin' games...Copy !req
622. and they won't mind me when I call them.Copy !req

628. Just a little hot supper
I fixed for you and the children.Copy !req
629. It seemed the least we could do.Copy !req
630. I won't have you worrying
poor Mr. Powell another minute.Copy !req
631. Just look at you -
dust and filth from top to toe.Copy !req
632. Want me to take 'em up
and wash 'em good?Copy !req
633. No. No, thank you, dear Icey.
Thank you.Copy !req
634. I'll tend to them. Thank you.Copy !req
635. Don't be too hard on 'em, Preacher.Copy !req
636. Poor motherless children.Copy !req
637. Remember now, Mr. Powell,
don't be afraid to call on us.Copy !req
638. Good-bye.Copy !req
639. Good-bye, Miz Spoon,
and thanks again.Copy !req
640. Now, weren't you afraid, little lambs,
down there in all that dark?Copy !req
641. They'll think it was me.Copy !req
642. They'll say it was poor old Uncle Birdie.Copy !req
643. Aw, if you could've seen it, Bess.Copy !req
644. Down there in the deep place...Copy !req
645. with her hair wavin' soft and lazy, like...Copy !req
646. meadow grass under floodwater.Copy !req
647. And that slit in her throat...Copy !req
648. like she had an extra mouth.Copy !req
649. You're the only human mortal
I can go to, Bess.Copy !req
650. If I go to the law...Copy !req
651. they'll hang it on me.Copy !req
652. Sweet heaven, save poor old Uncle Birdie.Copy !req
653. - I'm hungry.
- Sure.Copy !req
654. And there's fried chicken, sweet potatoes,
corn bread and apple cobbler.Copy !req
655. - Can I have my supper, please?
- Naturally.Copy !req
656. - Can I have milk too?
- Mm-hmm.Copy !req
657. But first, we'll have a little talk -
about our secrets.Copy !req
658. - No.
- And why not, pray tell?Copy !req
659. 'Cause John said I mustn't.Copy !req
660. - Never mind what John said!Copy !req
661. - John's a meddler.Copy !req
662. Now stop that sniveling.Copy !req
663. Look a-here.
You know what that is?Copy !req
664. Wanna see something cute?Copy !req
665. - Now looky.Copy !req
666. How about that?Copy !req
667. This is what I use on meddlers.Copy !req
668. John might be a meddler.Copy !req
669. Eh-eh! No, no.Copy !req
670. No, no, little lamb. Don't touch it.Copy !req
671. Don't touch my knife.
That makes me mad.Copy !req
672. - Makes me very, very mad.Copy !req
673. Now, just tell me.
Where's the money hid?Copy !req
674. But I swore.
I promised John I wouldn't tell.Copy !req
675. John doesn't matter!Copy !req
676. Can't I get that through your head,
you poor, silly, disgusting little wretch?Copy !req
677. There now. You made me lose my temper.Copy !req
678. I'm sorry. I am real sorry.Copy !req
679. Now just tell me.Copy !req
680. - Where's it hid, honey?
- I'll tell.Copy !req
681. I thought I told you
to keep your mouth shut.Copy !req
682. It ain't fair to make Pearl tell
when she swore she wouldn't.Copy !req
683. I'll tell.Copy !req
684. Well, I declare.Copy !req
685. Sometimes I think poor old John
might make it to heaven yet.Copy !req
686. All right, boy, where's the money?Copy !req
687. In the cellar,
buried under a stone in the floor.Copy !req
688. It'll go hard if I find you're lyin', boy.Copy !req
689. I'm not lying. Go look for yourself.Copy !req
690. All right.Copy !req
691. Come along.Copy !req
692. What?Copy !req
693. Go ahead of me, the both of you.Copy !req
694. Down those stairs.Copy !req
695. You don't reckon I'd leave you,
do you, boy?Copy !req
696. Well, don't you believe me?Copy !req
697. Why, sure, boy. Sure.Copy !req
698. All right. Where now?
Mind, no tricks now.Copy !req
699. I can't abide a liar.Copy !req
700. Yonder.Copy !req
701. Oh, no, you don't.Copy !req
702. - Now, where, boy? Where?
- Under the stone in the floor.Copy !req
703. This is concrete.Copy !req
704. John made a sin.
John told a lie.Copy !req
705. The Lord's a-talkin' to me now.Copy !req
706. He's a-sayin'...Copy !req
707. "A liar is an abomination
before mine eyes."Copy !req
708. Speak, boy. Where's it hid?Copy !req
709. - Speak.Copy !req
710. Speak, or I'll cut your throat
and leave you to drip...Copy !req

- Don't.Copy !req

He's a-comin' with his knife.Copy !req

You told me to come.Copy !req
