Oh, yes.

he'’d never come out
and pop the question.

going to accept him?

signed to '’em, wasn't it?
337
00:20:22,308 --> 00:20:25,180
Vic.
338
00:20:25,224 --> 00:20:27,530
Would you mind handing me
that pitcher of water
on the table there, Flo?
339
00:20:27,574 --> 00:20:29,445
I'’m kind of thirsty.
340
00:20:38,933 --> 00:20:40,543
Thanks.
341
00:20:40,587 --> 00:20:42,284
You wrote those letters, Vic.
342
00:20:45,287 --> 00:20:47,724
Didn'’t you?
343
00:20:47,768 --> 00:20:51,032
Well, I just happened
to have pen and ink handy,
and, uh--
344
00:20:51,075 --> 00:20:52,686
And he doesn'’t know
how to write.
345
00:20:52,729 --> 00:20:55,515
That'’s the truth, isn't it?Well, what if he don'’t?
346
00:20:55,558 --> 00:20:56,646
It'’s nothing against him.
347
00:20:58,474 --> 00:21:01,738
He just never took the time
to go to school, that'’s all.
348
00:21:01,782 --> 00:21:04,437
Well, I suppose
he can'’t read, Vic.
349
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:06,569
Lord knows
he wished he could.
350
00:21:06,613 --> 00:21:08,789
Especially these
past few months.
351
00:21:20,366 --> 00:21:22,933
Look, Flo, the little things
like reading and writing,
352
00:21:22,977 --> 00:21:25,849
why, you can teach that to him
after you'’re married.
353
00:21:27,634 --> 00:21:31,812
Thanks, Vic.
Thanks for telling me, Vic.
354
00:21:31,855 --> 00:21:35,119
Thanks for the letters.
They were beautiful.
355
00:21:40,037 --> 00:21:42,301
Your own made pretty darn
wonderful reading, too, Flo.
356
00:21:46,087 --> 00:21:48,307
You said you had something
you wanted to tell me, Flo.
357
00:21:48,350 --> 00:21:52,354
Yes. And it'’s so much easier
to say it out here
358
00:21:52,398 --> 00:21:55,226
than in that stuffy parlor
at the Shingle House.
359
00:21:55,270 --> 00:21:57,925
What is it, Flo?
360
00:22:00,406 --> 00:22:04,279
I saw Vic yesterday.Yes. I know you did.
361
00:22:04,323 --> 00:22:08,762
He'’s gonna be able to--
to stand up with you
at our wedding.
362
00:22:08,805 --> 00:22:11,591
You mean-- You mean you'’re
still willing to marry me
363
00:22:11,634 --> 00:22:13,375
after learnin'’ that
he wrote those letters?
364
00:22:13,419 --> 00:22:15,943
I love you, Si.
365
00:22:15,986 --> 00:22:18,293
You'’d love a man
who can'’t read and write?
366
00:22:18,337 --> 00:22:19,947
I'’m so ashamed, Flo.
367
00:22:19,990 --> 00:22:21,992
A grown man like me,
368
00:22:22,036 --> 00:22:24,952
and I don'’t know as much
as a little kid that high.
369
00:22:24,995 --> 00:22:28,869
I can'’t hold it
against you, Si, because...
370
00:22:28,912 --> 00:22:30,392
Well, you see...
371
00:22:32,873 --> 00:22:37,617
I can'’t read or write either.You can'’t?
372
00:22:37,660 --> 00:22:40,097
But what about
all those letters?
373
00:22:40,141 --> 00:22:43,013
Mrs. Perrin
wrote them for me,
374
00:22:43,057 --> 00:22:45,538
and read me yours.She did?
375
00:22:51,413 --> 00:22:53,197
I can'’t believe it.
376
00:22:53,241 --> 00:22:55,112
All that pretty handwriting.
377
00:23:03,120 --> 00:23:04,383
Flo...
378
00:23:04,426 --> 00:23:06,733
Oh, Si.
379
00:23:22,357 --> 00:23:24,272
Here they come.

Hip-hip!Hooray!

Hip-hip!Hooray!
384
00:23:34,064 --> 00:23:36,937
Hip-hip!Hooray!
385
00:23:42,116 --> 00:23:46,163
What does that say?That sign says,
"Excuse our dust."
386
00:23:48,818 --> 00:23:50,559
I think you'’re
a doggone liar.
387
00:23:52,866 --> 00:23:55,564
Good-bye, Mrs. Perrin,
and thanks for everything.Good-bye, darling.
388
00:23:57,479 --> 00:24:00,526
Good-bye, Vic.
And thanks.
Good luck, Si.

00:24:33,646 --> 00:24:36,997
Why, you'’re in love
with her too.
391
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:38,999
Whatever gave you
that idea?
392
00:24:39,042 --> 00:24:41,392
I read those letters.
393
00:24:41,436 --> 00:24:43,917
Well, they ought to be good.
394
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:46,223
I'’ve had a lot of practice
writing love letters.
395
00:24:46,267 --> 00:24:48,269
To hundreds of girls.
396
00:24:56,233 --> 00:24:58,540
It seems to me
all this goes to show
397
00:24:58,584 --> 00:25:00,150
that there are none
more literate
398
00:25:00,194 --> 00:25:02,849
than those who understand
the language of the heart.
