It looked like we sued everybody in the state of Oklahoma that was in office all the way down to the garbage man. He's like, what did you do?
I was back and forth on that phone with him, trying to wait on customers. And I bet that took about three hours, and he would not let up. I mean, he kept calling back and calling back. He called a lawyer. He was mad. And then the last phone call, he said, I am flying back in, and he said, you pick me up. A couple nights later, she drove to the airport. Picked him up, and he was still mad.
That was the longest car ride. As they drove back, she says he just lectured her the whole ride. I just listened to him.
I don't know what he said word to word. I just know he was strong with what he said. With my husband, it was best to just be silent. I was never afraid of him, but I knew how far to push it. The time we got from the airport to the other side, it was about an hour and 20 minutes. That's a long hour and 20 minutes in the car where you can't get out.
Like, I know you want me to drop this case, but I'm going to fight this. He threatened me every which way. I didn't budge. And probably the reason why I didn't budge, because he fought me so hard on it. You know, I believed in it. I had never stepped out like that. That's the first time I really put my foot down and didn't budge. I gave so much to him. I mean, I didn't get a salary for 25 years.
I didn't ask for it. I figured we were equal. I figured I worked the same hours he did. And I figured I stood beside him, not behind him and not in front of him. Coming up, Carolyn goes to court. Stay tuned.
I haven't ran across very many people that I didn't care for. I didn't care for Fred. He was so pushy. Insists that Carolyn needs to come to D.C. I didn't have the money to go, and I didn't want to go. I never traveled anywhere by myself.
I had borrowed a dress. Plastic. Looked like leather.
High heels.
It was so big.
I felt like I was walking forever up those stairs. I was burning up. I was sweating.
Curtis was sitting beside me, and I kept punching him. What does that mean? What are they talking about? What does that mean? And he kept saying, shh, shh, just be quiet until it's over. I'll tell you.
I didn't understand what they were doing.
A saloon keeper.
I tell you, when he called me that in the Supreme Court, I came so near standing up and correcting him. And I've always wondered to this day why I didn't.
That was really something, seeing this little woman get up.
I'll never forget that, because she was small.
She's so small in person, but she had a lot of force.
I had just came in from work. I was at home by myself there in Stillwater. She's by herself in the kitchen. And the phone rings. And who calls? Who called? National News called to tell me that we had won. I didn't ask what we had won. I didn't ask anything. I just said, okay. She hung up.
Stood there for a little bit, and then Craig called, and he wanted me to come down and celebrate with the guys there at his fraternity. She told him, no thanks. And then she hangs up the phone, and she gets one more phone call. And it was my husband. He was in North Carolina again. And he heard... He heard something about the case, but he didn't hear it all. And he said, what's going on now?
