00:00:52.804 --> 00:00:54.404

00:00:54.404 --> 00:00:57.571
much longer this is really killing me.

00:00:59.253 --> 00:01:01.020
Let\'s just see what it looks like

00:01:02.620 --> 00:01:03.963
Sure feels like shit.

00:01:11.240 --> 00:01:12.990
How do they do it in the magazines?

00:01:14.580 --> 00:01:16.533
I have to find another way.

00:01:19.070 --> 00:01:22.520
If a hen and a half, can
lay an egg and a half

00:01:22.520 --> 00:01:24.840
in a day in a half, how long will

00:01:24.840 --> 00:01:27.020
it take a monkey with a wooden leg to

00:01:27.020 --> 00:01:29.217
kick the seeds out of a dill pickle?

00:01:32.890 --> 00:01:34.390

00:10:18.220 --> 00:10:20.250
- When you first came to work for Robert

00:10:20.250 --> 00:10:22.680
for the studio, what did
you, how did he describe it?

00:10:22.680 --> 00:10:25.530
And what did you think
you were getting into?

00:10:25.530 --> 00:10:28.752
- I have never saw the
machines before, but again

00:10:28.752 --> 00:10:31.840
I didn\'t think anything funny about them

00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:32.729
you know?

00:10:32.729 --> 00:10:36.500
I, you know, I didn\'t even
think it didn\'t take the, these

00:10:36.500 --> 00:10:38.947
the slightest idea \'bout anything, Leah

00:10:38.947 --> 00:10:40.360
I just went there

00:10:40.360 --> 00:10:41.500
to work and that\'s it.

00:10:41.500 --> 00:10:44.307
I see the people, you
know, you know, exercising

00:10:44.307 --> 00:10:47.340
and that was, I didn\'t care.

00:10:47.340 --> 00:10:48.173
You know?

00:10:50.870 --> 00:10:52.677
The only time I exercise
is when I get in the tub

00:10:52.677 --> 00:10:54.767
and you can\'t exercise in the tub

00:10:57.794 --> 00:11:00.347
No, I just stretch out the legs and do

00:11:00.347 --> 00:11:02.393
all kinds of things in the tub

00:11:02.393 --> 00:11:06.154
When I get in there, I
buckled them up you know.

00:11:06.154 --> 00:11:06.987
I know.

00:11:09.690 --> 00:11:12.340
Yeah. I caught myself actually slightly

00:11:12.340 --> 00:11:13.523
from exercise.

00:11:15.250 --> 00:11:16.350

00:11:16.350 --> 00:11:18.150
people that come and exercise?

00:11:18.150 --> 00:11:20.200
- I figure I say the same thing they do,

00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:21.900
they do at home, you know what I mean?

00:11:21.900 --> 00:11:23.681
They leave clothes on the floor

00:11:23.681 --> 00:11:28.270
They leave the wet towels on the couch

00:11:28.270 --> 00:11:31.823
and then it gets that cover the couch wet.

00:11:33.490 --> 00:11:36.420
When I look and see the
finger marks on the mirror

00:12:52.390 --> 00:12:57.103
Sure, my mother had six children.

00:12:58.080 --> 00:13:00.310
She had three boys and three girls.

00:13:00.310 --> 00:13:04.080
My sister was the oldest and then me

00:13:04.080 --> 00:13:07.520
and then another one and another one.

00:13:07.520 --> 00:13:09.910
And then my brother.

00:13:09.910 --> 00:13:10.743
Yeah

00:13:12.010 --> 00:13:13.427
So my childhood was nice

00:13:13.427 --> 00:13:15.720
we didn\'t have any problem at home.

00:13:15.720 --> 00:13:20.040
As I said before, my
father was a family man.

00:13:23.320 --> 00:13:24.153
You know what?

00:13:24.153 --> 00:13:25.180
Even when I was a child

00:13:26.810 --> 00:13:29.790
my father gave us
everything that we wanted.

00:13:29.790 --> 00:13:32.340
Everything heart desired we had it.

00:13:32.340 --> 00:13:34.960
We didn\'t have a car and nothing like that

00:13:34.960 --> 00:13:37.490
because I didn\'t want, you
know, no, I think what happened

00:13:37.490 --> 00:13:41.251
a car or anything like
that when I was a child

00:13:41.251 --> 00:13:45.250
but we have never like I see children now

00:13:45.250 --> 00:13:47.256
So they walk on that hot pavement

00:13:47.256 --> 00:13:49.260
without a shoe on

00:13:49.260 --> 00:13:50.674
they walk on in the hot dirt

00:13:50.674 --> 00:13:52.660
without a shoe on.

00:13:52.660 --> 00:13:56.280
My father never allowed that we never

00:13:56.280 --> 00:13:58.460
had our foot on the ground without

00:13:58.460 --> 00:14:01.503
a shoe on, that\'s right.

00:14:02.360 --> 00:14:06.400
And he had his house stacked with food.

00:14:06.400 --> 00:14:08.443
We were always used to money.

00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:13.593
My father was a fisherman,
strong, good man.

00:14:14.460 --> 00:14:17.660
You know people go in and
catch fish and shrimps

00:14:17.660 --> 00:14:19.540
and all like that, that\'s what he did

00:14:19.540 --> 00:14:21.020
my father had his own boat

00:14:22.130 --> 00:14:22.973
and, eh

00:14:24.034 --> 00:14:26.280
and somehow, some boys, you know,

00:14:26.280 --> 00:14:30.470
they have men to work with them and they

00:14:30.470 --> 00:14:33.307
would tie it at the dock and the boy,

00:14:33.307 --> 00:14:35.010
some boy did something and caught

00:14:35.010 --> 00:14:39.327
the boats on fire and my
daddy\'s one burned down.

00:14:40.308 --> 00:14:41.141
- Oh no.

00:14:41.141 --> 00:14:44.660
- Yeah just the row of boats burned down.

00:14:44.660 --> 00:14:47.010
Yeah so he didn\'t have any more boat

00:14:47.010 --> 00:14:49.460
he didn\'t try to build another one.

00:14:49.460 --> 00:14:50.438
- So then what did he do?

00:14:50.438 --> 00:14:52.080
Then he just, he fished for other people?

00:14:52.080 --> 00:14:54.770
- Yes he fished up for him and Johnny.

00:14:54.770 --> 00:14:56.081
- Did you ever go out with him?

00:14:56.081 --> 00:15:01.081
- Yeah, I like it but I get sea sick.

00:15:01.369 --> 00:15:03.619
(Laughter)

00:15:05.430 --> 00:15:07.382
- Where did you meet your husband?

00:15:07.382 --> 00:15:10.430
- Oh, on a defense job.

00:15:10.430 --> 00:15:11.900
I went with my aunt

00:15:11.900 --> 00:15:16.280
on this job and well,
we all started working.

00:15:16.280 --> 00:15:19.723
They were making tents,
you know, for the soldiers.

00:15:20.600 --> 00:15:23.722
And I see this little
man or that, you know

00:15:23.722 --> 00:15:25.420
I was always funny.

00:15:25.420 --> 00:15:28.940
I never looked around for nobody no.

00:15:28.940 --> 00:15:31.810
Always was independent, I was.

00:15:31.810 --> 00:15:35.210
I put eyes on bodies the
first time I see them.

00:15:35.210 --> 00:15:37.780
You talk to me, you talk to me sometime

00:15:37.780 --> 00:15:40.123
I wanna talk, sometime I don\'t, see?

00:15:41.110 --> 00:15:44.640
He would always say to me, I
don\'t know how I got cheesy

00:15:44.640 --> 00:15:46.840
because you\'re a very stuck up girl

00:15:46.840 --> 00:15:47.690
That\'s what he would say

00:15:47.690 --> 00:15:49.030
you\'re a stuck up girl.

00:15:50.908 --> 00:15:53.233
- So where did you move
when you first got married?

00:15:53.233 --> 00:15:56.980
- I move into his apartment 133rd street

00:15:56.980 --> 00:15:59.007
right off Lenox avenue

00:15:59.007 --> 00:16:00.690
and we got a pot and pan

00:16:02.029 --> 00:16:04.470
I stuck, even though I had my husband

00:16:04.470 --> 00:16:07.173
and I didn\'t have to worry about anything.

00:16:08.030 --> 00:16:12.660
He used to work Yankee stadium then

00:16:12.660 --> 00:16:17.070
to the Colossian different jobs he had

00:16:17.070 --> 00:16:21.280
then he used to work through
your, what is that place?

00:16:21.280 --> 00:16:25.843
Down 57th street where you
could hear the people swinging

00:16:25.843 --> 00:16:27.434
you know, and the

00:16:27.434 --> 00:16:28.267
- Kennedy hall?

00:16:28.267 --> 00:16:29.893
- Yeah, he used to work there.

00:16:31.090 --> 00:16:33.501
I would never get married again.

00:16:33.501 --> 00:16:35.149
If I was a young woman

00:16:35.149 --> 00:16:38.210
no, because I would
never get another husband

00:16:38.210 --> 00:16:39.620
like the one I had.

00:16:39.620 --> 00:16:41.253
He was a very nice man.

00:16:42.480 --> 00:16:45.080
I didn\'t even have to
work if I didn\'t want to.

00:16:45.080 --> 00:16:47.940
But anyway, I always liked my money.

00:16:47.940 --> 00:16:51.097
You like to live in the,
yeah I love my money.

00:16:51.097 --> 00:16:52.957
- So after you got
married you kept working?

00:16:52.957 --> 00:16:54.460
- Yeah

00:16:54.460 --> 00:16:56.430
- What did you start doing?

00:16:56.430 --> 00:17:00.090
- We worked behind it in 39th street

00:17:00.090 --> 00:17:03.410
in a dry cleaning plant they had.

00:17:03.410 --> 00:17:08.410
And that was the last year
I worked on the floor here

00:17:08.550 --> 00:17:10.720
that all snotty with me before him.

00:17:10.720 --> 00:17:13.248
And he got all snotty with me this day

00:17:13.248 --> 00:17:17.120
and I had to tell him off
and I just quit the job.

00:17:17.120 --> 00:17:20.523
And then my husband got sick
and I have to go to work.

00:17:22.382 --> 00:17:24.549
(singing)

00:18:03.370 --> 00:18:06.680
Sometime I be in my
house it\'s like yesterday

00:18:06.680 --> 00:18:09.240
it was so hot and I was ironing

00:18:09.240 --> 00:18:11.457
I had quite a few pieces drying

00:18:11.457 --> 00:18:14.430
and I was in my kitchen humming a song

00:18:14.430 --> 00:18:19.415
And as I started to
feel it good as it will

00:18:19.415 --> 00:18:22.343
it just feels good.

00:18:23.240 --> 00:18:25.520
I have been sick in my lifetime

00:18:28.200 --> 00:18:31.113
when I pray to God he
brings me through each time

00:18:33.051 --> 00:18:34.468
yeah I trust him.

00:18:36.830 --> 00:18:39.680
Even sometime when this pain grabbing me

00:18:39.680 --> 00:18:42.296
in my knee sometime I say thank God

00:18:42.296 --> 00:18:45.530
for this because this could\'ve been worse

00:18:45.530 --> 00:18:46.894
and see this on my knee

00:18:46.894 --> 00:18:48.650
I say thank God for this

00:18:48.650 --> 00:18:50.650
because some people can\'t walk.

00:18:50.650 --> 00:18:52.143
Maybe if they have this

00:18:52.143 --> 00:18:54.963
and I have a lot to thank God for.

00:18:56.910 --> 00:19:00.195
I am happy when I could stack my freezer

00:19:00.195 --> 00:19:01.964
full of meat and stuff

00:19:01.964 --> 00:19:04.810
And I don\'t have to go and beg

00:19:04.810 --> 00:19:05.860
anybody for anything.

00:19:07.780 --> 00:19:10.640
Since I know myself, I know

00:19:10.640 --> 00:19:15.193
and, and to see that I had
my own place to live in.

00:19:16.290 --> 00:19:18.993
I never went to somebody\'s house and say

00:19:18.993 --> 00:19:21.400
knock on the door and say

00:19:21.400 --> 00:19:25.730
would you loan me a box of
salt, some rice, some grit

00:19:25.730 --> 00:19:30.730
some bacon or anything
that that is usable.

00:19:31.830 --> 00:19:33.053
I don\'t do that.

00:19:34.120 --> 00:19:35.150
No, I don\'t.

00:19:35.150 --> 00:19:40.150
God has blessed me that
I could go half crippled

00:19:40.943 --> 00:19:44.020
and go to work and get what I want.

00:19:44.020 --> 00:19:46.160
I know what I need in my house.

00:19:46.160 --> 00:19:49.723
And I go and I get that and I\'m satisfied.

00:19:50.630 --> 00:19:53.440
So I want, I shouldn\'t have
what I can pay my rent.

00:19:53.440 --> 00:19:57.270
I pay my insurance, my
phone bill and everything

00:19:57.270 --> 00:19:59.690
so why should I worry about anything?

00:19:59.690 --> 00:20:01.023
Life is sweet to me.

00:20:02.992 --> 00:20:04.774
- Which person did this for you?

00:20:04.774 --> 00:20:06.516
- I\'m not telling you

00:20:06.516 --> 00:20:08.249
(Laughter)

00:20:08.249 --> 00:20:09.832
I\'m not telling you

00:20:10.870 --> 00:20:14.539
Now, this is my 65th birthday

00:20:14.539 --> 00:20:17.043
Yeah, 65th.

00:20:18.168 --> 00:20:23.168
Well you know, a real dark
people doesn\'t sound somebody

00:20:23.300 --> 00:20:25.023
doesn\'t wrinkle so quick.

00:20:26.350 --> 00:20:31.340
And some people just
swivel up just like that.

00:20:31.340 --> 00:20:33.167
But you know, I think
that comes from people

00:20:33.167 --> 00:20:35.230
who doesn\'t take care of themselves.

00:20:35.230 --> 00:20:36.940
I take good care of myself.

00:20:36.940 --> 00:20:41.940
I take a lot of rest. You
know when I leave here

00:20:41.970 --> 00:20:45.330
in the night I go home and

00:20:45.330 --> 00:20:48.963
I rest when I have a meal.

00:20:50.720 --> 00:20:52.870
And then I put the television
on and watch the news.

00:20:52.870 --> 00:20:55.440
And after that I\'m bad.

00:20:55.440 --> 00:20:58.610
I don\'t like to sleep
on a rough, dry sheet.

00:20:58.610 --> 00:21:01.800
No, you should fell beautiful

00:21:01.800 --> 00:21:03.700
I pressed some sheets yesterday

00:21:04.680 --> 00:21:07.530
and they fold very good.

00:21:07.530 --> 00:21:12.193
And my linen closet
about it, how I fixed it.

00:21:13.190 --> 00:21:15.253
I love my place with nice.

00:21:16.578 --> 00:21:18.960
You know, I\'m planning on going to Canada.

00:21:18.960 --> 00:21:21.910
I don\'t know when this is,
but I would like to go.

00:21:21.910 --> 00:21:24.100
I always wanted to go to Canada.

00:21:24.100 --> 00:21:27.130
Yeah. I don\'t know why I want to go there

00:21:27.130 --> 00:21:28.980
but I always say I wanted to go to Canada.

00:21:28.980 --> 00:21:31.130
First of all, I want
to see what it\'s like.

00:21:33.180 --> 00:21:35.303
And I would like very much to go.

00:21:36.200 --> 00:21:38.128
Where is the gambling places?

00:21:38.128 --> 00:21:41.540
Yeah, I would like to go there.

00:21:41.540 --> 00:21:44.857
- If you could have any wish you want

00:21:44.857 --> 00:21:48.339
if you could be reborn, what would you be

00:21:48.339 --> 00:21:50.422
and where would you live?

00:21:52.437 --> 00:21:54.473
- That\'s a hard question.

00:21:57.880 --> 00:22:00.153
The same old thing that I am today.

00:22:01.410 --> 00:22:03.160
Same Fanny.

00:22:03.160 --> 00:22:04.940
The same way I live today.

00:22:04.940 --> 00:22:08.810
I would like to come back and
live this life I\'m living now.

00:22:08.810 --> 00:22:09.643
- Really?

00:22:09.643 --> 00:22:11.080
- Yes.

00:22:11.080 --> 00:22:13.096
Yes. I wouldn\'t want anything

00:22:13.096 --> 00:22:14.830
changed about my life.

00:22:14.830 --> 00:22:18.540
Well I might be younger that\'s all I\'ll be

00:22:18.540 --> 00:22:20.360
but I don\'t want no other part

00:22:20.360 --> 00:22:23.640
of my life changed because
I have a happy life

00:22:24.710 --> 00:22:28.240
and I really wouldn\'t want it
to change every single thing

00:22:28.240 --> 00:22:29.660
as you come back.

00:22:33.391 --> 00:22:35.974
(Humming tune)
