Correct.

“And for our honeymoon… London…”

“Yes!”

“Normandy…”

“Yes!”

“Sunny Spain!”

“Why not?”

_I Want To Live._

Barbara Graham’s last words before her death in the gas chamber.

**San Quentin Capt.** When you hear the pellets drop, count to ten. Take a deep breath. It’s easier that way.

Disney’s _ **Robin Hood** _ with the cartoon fox.

That was the first thing my family recorded with our VCR when I was a kid. I watched it a hundred times.
