04:05I looked out the window and the children had gone.
04:08I remember it was the 27th.
04:10I left for the day.
04:12You're on time.
04:13I'm still ready.
04:14You must tell yourself that you should act without prejudice or favoritism.
04:19these duties prescribed by custom and dictated by law?
04:24I have to.
04:25Bill's up front.
04:26I'll see later.
04:27From the community of the hotel where I work,
04:31I appoint you lottery master.
04:33Here comes Tessie, Bill.
04:35I thought we were going to have to get on without you, Tessie.
04:42You wouldn't have me leaving the dishes in the sink, would you, Joe?
04:47Well, now, guess we better get started.
04:49Get this over with so as we can go back to work.
04:52Is anyone else here?
04:56Dunbar.
04:57Clyde Dunbar ain't here.
05:00Clyde Dunbar.
05:01That's right, he's broken his leg, hasn't he?
05:03Who's drawing for him this year?
05:04He, I guess.
05:05Janey, ain't you got a grown boy to do it for you?
05:09Well, Horace ain't but 16 yet.
05:11I guess I'll have to do it myself this year.
05:14Watson boy drawing this year?
05:16Here.
05:21I'm drawing for me and my mom.
05:23Good boy, Jack.
05:25Glad to see your mother's got a man to do it.
05:27Well, I guess that's everyone.
05:32Old man Warner, make it?
05:34Here.
05:42Already?
05:43I'll read the names then.
05:46Heads of families first.
05:48The men come up and draw a paper out of the box.
05:51Now keep the paper folded in your hand without looking at it
05:54until everyone's had a turn.
05:56Is everything clear?
06:00Adam.
06:01Hi, Joe.
06:08Hi, Steve.
06:17Anderson.
06:18Bentham.
06:34Seems like there's no time at all between lotters anymore.
06:37Seems like only last week we got through with the last one.
06:45Yeah, time sure does go fast.
06:47Clark!
06:56Morning, Andy.
06:57Morning, Joe.
06:58Delacroix.
07:12Nice, Dan.

07:29Graves.
07:38Harvett.
07:56Hutchinson.
07:58Get up there, Bill.
08:02That a girl, Tessie?
08:08Jones.
08:09They say over in Warren County
08:11they're talking about giving up the lottery.
08:13Hmm.
08:13Pack of crazy fools.
08:15Listen to the young folks.
08:16Nothing is good enough for them.
08:23Judd.
08:25First thing you know,
08:26everybody wanted to be going back
08:27and living in caves.
08:28nobody works anymore.
08:29Live that way for a while.
08:33Cleffer.
08:35Used to be a saying,
08:36lottery in June,
08:37corn heavy soon.
08:39Next thing we'd know,
08:40we'd all be eating stewed chickweed
08:41and acorns.
08:42Langley.
08:43Langley.
08:43There's always been a lottery.
08:49Hiya, Mitch.
08:50Hi, Joe.
08:54Bad enough to see young Joe Summers out there joking with everyone.
08:58Martin.
08:59Some places have already exited lotteries.
09:04Some places have already exited lotteries.
09:09Nothing but trouble in that.
09:11Pack of young fools.
09:16Overdyke.
09:17I wish they'd hurry.
09:18I wish they'd hurry.
09:26Percy.
09:26Robinson.

10:10Watson.
10:12Don't be nervous, Jack.
10:17Take your time, son.
10:19Zanini.
10:30Hi, George.
10:31Go.
10:49All right, fellas.
10:53Bill Hutchinson's got it.
11:19You didn't give him time enough to pick the one he wanted.
11:23I saw you.
11:25You didn't give him time.
11:26It wasn't fair.
11:35Be a good sport, Tessie.
11:37We all took the same trance.
11:43Shut up, Tessie.
11:49Well, everybody, that went pretty fast.
11:53Now we're going to have to be hurrying a little more to get done in time.
11:57Bill, you drew for the Hutchinson family.
11:59You got any other households in the Hutchinson's?
12:02Any in-laws?
12:03Grandchildren?
12:05There's Dawn and Eva.
12:07Give them a chance.
12:09Daughters drew with their husbands' families.
12:11You know that as well as anyone else, Tessie.
12:13It isn't fair.
12:16I guess not, Joe.
12:17My married daughter draws with her husband's family.
12:20It's only fair.
12:22I got no other family except the kids.
12:24How many kids, Bill?
12:26Three.
12:27Nancy, Bill Jr., Davey,
12:32and Tessie and me.
12:34All right, Harry, you got four tickets ready?
12:36Yeah.
12:36Drop them in the box.
12:40Take Bill's and put it in.
12:42Ready, Bill?
12:57I think we should start over.
12:59It wasn't fair.
13:01Dad didn't give him time enough to choose.
13:04Everybody saw that.
13:05Well, you all saw that.
13:08Please listen to me.
13:09Joe didn't give Bill enough time.
13:13Are you ready, Bill?
13:20Remember,
13:21take a slip
13:22and keep it folded
13:23until each person's taken one.
13:26Now, Harry, you help little Davey.
13:27Take a paper out of the box, Davey.
13:37Just take one.
13:40Harry, you hold it for us.
13:44Nancy?
13:54Bill Jr.?
13:57Tessie?
14:08Tessie?
14:19Bill?
14:20Bill?
14:27I hope it's not Nancy.
14:39It ain't the way it used to be.
14:41People ain't the way they used to be.
14:45Alright, open the papers.
14:47Harry, you open up, Davey's.
14:48Nancy?
15:02Bill Jr.?
15:04Nancy?
15:05Bill Jr.?
15:06Tessie?
15:16It's Tessie.
15:37It's Tessie.
15:39Show us our paper, Bill.
15:55Show us your paper, Bill.
15:55Let's go!
16:25Let's go!
