[[00:35:15]]

{SPEAKER name="Pearl Bowser"}
Mmm.

{SPEAKER name="Marella Mayberry McDavid"}

[00:35:24]

and you have the opportunity, you will have the opportunity here to start the working at ten dollars an hour.

So anyway, I wanted her to get all she can. And then she's goin to be a beautician if she gets those two things.

Right. Money wise. [[laughs]]

{SPEAKER name="Louise Spence"}
[[laughs]]
[00:36:00]

{SPEAKER name="Marella Mayberry McDavid"}
She's good in the, you know, head. [[inaudible]] It takes a lot of money maybe to go to college, something like 40,000 dollars.
[00:36:12]

{SPEAKER name="Louise Spence"}
Umm.

{SPEAKER name="Marella Mayberry McDavid"}
That's a lot of money.

{SPEAKER name="Louise Spence"}
That's a lot of money.
[00:36:14]

{SPEAKER name="Marella Mayberry McDavid"}
But you don't have to have that much at one time.

{SPEAKER name="Louise Spence"}
Uhm huh.
[00:36:18]

{SPEAKER name="Marella Mayberry McDavid"}
But you have to have it.

{SPEAKER name="Pearl Bowser"}
Umm.

{SPEAKER name="Louise Spence"}
Yeah.
[00:36:20]

{SPEAKER name="Pearl Bowser"}
Eventually, you have to have it all. [[Laughs]]

{SPEAKER name="Louise Spence"}
[[Laughs]].
[00:36:22]

{SPEAKER name="Marella Mayberry McDavid"}
Right. [[Laughs]]
[00:36:24]

{SPEAKER name="Pearl Bowser"}
You gotta pay for shoes. Right up to the grave. You gotta have money.

{SPEAKER name="Louise Spence"}
Yeah.

{SPEAKER name="Marella Mayberry McDavid"}
Right.
[00:36:30]

{SPEAKER name="Pearl Bowser"}
If you can't pay it, your family has to pay it.

{SPEAKER name="Marella Mayberry McDavid"}
Right, yeah.
[00:36:32]

{SPEAKER name="Louise Spence"}
Thank you, Mrs. [[?]]. Do you-- Do you have more thoughts about movies you'd like to tell us before we're finished.
[00:36:44]

{SPEAKER name="Louise Spence"}
Or was it very important in your life, seeing films?
[00:36:45]

{SPEAKER name="Marella Mayberry McDavid"}
Oh, yeah. I always liked to look at things, when I had the-- when I have the opportunity.
[00:36:54]

{SPEAKER name="Marella Mayberry McDavid"}
[[talking softly]] I like to look at things. Whatever is [[?]] [[seemly]]. When you look at my grandmother,
[00:37:00]

{SPEAKER name="Marella Mayberry McDavid"}
back in her days, she'd like to look at; she couldn't read; and try to learn to read.
[00:37:07]

{SPEAKER name="Marella Mayberry McDavid"}
My granddad had learned to read cause he preached back when, you know, so he had to learn how to read to be able to preach.
[00:37:14]

{SPEAKER name="Marella Mayberry McDavid"}
But my grandmother didn't learn to read, but she used to love to look at pictures, and I always wondered why.
[00:37:20]

Transcription Notes:
At 00:35:00 was an indecipherable filler word - There are even more that I couldn't figure out, but maybe nobody can.
