It's not necessary to tell all you know It's not ladylike - in the second place folks don't like to have somebody around knowin' more than they do It aggravates 'em You're not gonna change any of?

Answer 1

It's not necessary to tell all you know. It's not lady like-in the second place, folks don't like having somebody around knowin' more than they do. It aggravates 'em. You're not going to change any of them by talkin' right, they've got to want to learn themselves, and when they don't want to learn there's nothing you can do but keep your mouth shut or talk their language."
