Nana: I thought
nobody knew I had a lover. I told her, “This is a free country, no one can hurt
you know. We got no ghettos here, Martha”. Eisenhower should have helped us. He
should have put a stop to it but it was on the radio every day about the bad
people, traitors, queers, I guess they thought between us and the communists,
we were going tear the place down. They even gave us a name so everybody knew
what to hate: Lavender. I told her, “It’s a sweet flower, how can a flower hurt
anyone?” but people visited. They said that wasn’t the way jewish people
behaved and Martha got so scared that they knew we loved each other. I hear she
married a farmer in Wisconsin. Everybody’s most particular there. Shame on you,
Mr. President. Shame on you.
Tea: I love you, Nana
Nana: I know you do, Ruthie.
