1
00:02:15,135 --> 00:02:16,637
Hilda, my dear!

2
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:18,472
Hello, Mother.
It's good to see you.

3
00:02:19,931 --> 00:02:21,649
Thank you very much.

4
00:02:21,725 --> 00:02:22,897
You're welcome.
It's been fun.

5
00:02:22,976 --> 00:02:24,569
For me too.
Have a nice trip.

6
00:02:24,645 --> 00:02:26,022
- Bye.
- Bye~bye.

7
00:02:26,647 --> 00:02:28,149
Anyone I should know,
dear?

8
00:02:28,231 --> 00:02:31,826
No. Just somebody I met in the lounge car.
He's on his way to San Francisco.

9
00:02:32,402 --> 00:02:34,996
Don't worry, Mother.
I paid for my own dinner.

10
00:02:35,072 --> 00:02:37,495
The morning air smells good here.
I'd forgotten.

11
00:02:37,574 --> 00:02:40,077
I hope you're going to stay for a while.
You didn't say in your telegram.

12
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:41,252
My, wouldn't I love to?

13
00:02:41,328 --> 00:02:43,672
But I've got a wonderful new job
waiting for me in New York.

14
00:02:43,747 --> 00:02:46,125
At least it's almost certain.
I'll hear in a few days.

15
00:02:46,208 --> 00:02:48,711
- Can't you tell me anything about it?
- No. I don't want to hex it.

16
00:02:48,794 --> 00:02:50,717
Mother, will you
drive through the campus?

17
00:02:50,796 --> 00:02:52,469
Yes, if you like.

18
00:03:02,182 --> 00:03:04,184
- Hello, Miss Hilda.
- How are you, Clara?

19
00:03:04,267 --> 00:03:06,611
It's good to have you back.
I'll take these upstairs.

20
00:03:06,687 --> 00:03:08,314
Thank you.

21
00:03:09,648 --> 00:03:11,776
Well, nothing's changed,
has it?

22
00:03:11,858 --> 00:03:13,701
Now, why should anything change?

23
00:03:13,777 --> 00:03:16,656
It's always a surprise to find
things exactly as they were.

24
00:03:16,738 --> 00:03:19,457
Father's chair
just where it used to be,

25
00:03:19,533 --> 00:03:21,627
and he's been gone for so long.

26
00:03:21,702 --> 00:03:24,000
Let me take your coat.

27
00:03:24,079 --> 00:03:25,501
Thank you.

28
00:03:26,873 --> 00:03:28,841
What beautiful flowers.

29
00:03:29,751 --> 00:03:31,173
- They're for me?
- Yes.

30
00:03:32,838 --> 00:03:35,591
- Russell Burns sent them.
- How sweet of him.

31
00:03:35,674 --> 00:03:38,678
He's become one of Winona's
most important young men.

32
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:40,808
He's made a fortune
in the contracting business.

33
00:03:40,887 --> 00:03:42,230
I knew he'd been doing well.

34
00:03:42,305 --> 00:03:44,148
I saw him once or twice
when he came to New York.

35
00:03:44,224 --> 00:03:47,273
We had dinner together.
He's such a nice guy.

36
00:03:47,728 --> 00:03:50,607
“L hope I may have your permission
to call on you soon.”

37
00:03:50,689 --> 00:03:52,362
isn't that touching?

38
00:03:52,441 --> 00:03:54,910
Nobody ever
says things like that anymore.

39
00:03:54,985 --> 00:03:57,864
They don't,
but they should.

40
00:03:57,946 --> 00:04:00,244
Hilda, I don't think I'd
laugh that off if I were you.

41
00:04:00,323 --> 00:04:02,917
You're not trying to tell me
his intentions are serious?

42
00:04:02,993 --> 00:04:04,540
Whatever Russell's beginnings,

43
00:04:04,619 --> 00:04:07,873
the important thing is that
he's still very devoted to you.

44
00:04:07,956 --> 00:04:09,958
And he's a respectable young man.

45
00:04:11,293 --> 00:04:15,139
Mother, shall we get acquainted
with each other?

46
00:04:15,213 --> 00:04:17,056
I think it's about time.

47
00:04:17,132 --> 00:04:19,385
Just occurs to me
that if I'd put my head in your lap,

48
00:04:19,468 --> 00:04:21,641
you'd be the most surprised person
in the world.

49
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:23,438
Yes, I suppose I would.

50
00:04:23,513 --> 00:04:25,732
I don't remember you ever
doing anything like that,

51
00:04:25,807 --> 00:04:27,309
even as a child.

52
00:04:27,392 --> 00:04:29,770
I don't remember you
ever inviting me to.

53
00:04:31,897 --> 00:04:34,025
Would be funny to be a child again.

54
00:04:34,107 --> 00:04:36,610
- I think I'd like it.
- Really?

55
00:04:37,194 --> 00:04:38,411
Maybe.

56
00:04:39,654 --> 00:04:41,372
Yes, I would.

57
00:04:42,491 --> 00:04:44,994
<i>Fourteen, 15, 16.</i>

58
00:04:45,076 --> 00:04:47,625
Father sitting in that chair,
smoking his pipe,

59
00:04:47,704 --> 00:04:50,423
looking at me the way he used
to look at me in those days,

60
00:04:51,333 --> 00:04:53,176
his eyes seeming to say,

61
00:04:53,251 --> 00:04:57,347
“That exceptional, remarkable,
gifted Hilda Crane.”

62
00:04:58,173 --> 00:05:00,722
And I'd say, “Is that the way
it should be, Father?

63
00:05:00,801 --> 00:05:02,769
Live like a man and still be a woman?

64
00:05:02,844 --> 00:05:05,688
Get a job, pay your own way,
and lick the world?”

65
00:05:07,057 --> 00:05:09,526
And he says, “Why not?

66
00:05:10,143 --> 00:05:12,737
The future belongs to you, Hilda.”

67
00:05:14,898 --> 00:05:17,902
That's where I'd like to stop it
and change it-- right there.

68
00:05:17,984 --> 00:05:21,158
I want to turn on him and say,
“No, Father, no.”

69
00:05:27,244 --> 00:05:31,090
And I'd like you to put down your knitting
and tell me what you're thinking.

70
00:05:31,164 --> 00:05:33,212
I'm thinking it's a lovely day,

71
00:05:33,291 --> 00:05:35,043
and I'm glad you're here.

72
00:05:35,126 --> 00:05:37,504
No, really, Mother.
Don't hold out on me.

73
00:05:37,587 --> 00:05:41,387
I want to learn.
Give me something to believe in.

74
00:05:41,466 --> 00:05:43,013
What's your secret?

75
00:05:43,093 --> 00:05:44,686
It's no secret,

76
00:05:44,761 --> 00:05:48,186
except to people who
deliberately blind themselves.

77
00:05:50,308 --> 00:05:51,685
What do you mean?

78
00:05:51,768 --> 00:05:53,520
Among your friends in New York,

79
00:05:53,603 --> 00:05:56,356
I suppose it's fashionable
to laugh at the solid virtues

80
00:05:56,439 --> 00:06:00,489
like decency and respectability
and having a home and children.

81
00:06:00,569 --> 00:06:02,196
Well, suppose
you can't find a man

82
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,782
who can give you
a happy, respectable home?

83
00:06:05,657 --> 00:06:09,252
Or suppose you think you found him
and then discover you've made a mistake?

84
00:06:10,161 --> 00:06:13,210
- What do you do then?
- Well, you put up a front.

85
00:06:13,290 --> 00:06:15,839
You learn to live
with the situation gracefully.

86
00:06:16,585 --> 00:06:19,805
If I may be a little corny,
Mother, what about love?

87
00:06:20,797 --> 00:06:22,799
If you mean romantic love...

88
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:27,475
cheap-magazine sort of thing,
most women outgrow that in time.

89
00:06:27,554 --> 00:06:29,852
They learn that a good appearance

90
00:06:29,931 --> 00:06:32,730
and a well-ordered existence
is more important,

91
00:06:32,809 --> 00:06:35,232
and, in the end, it's more satisfying.

92
00:06:41,151 --> 00:06:43,199
I'm awfully mixed-up, Mother.

93
00:06:44,029 --> 00:06:45,872
Yes, I know you are.

94
00:06:53,204 --> 00:06:55,206
Have you ever wanted to go to sleep?

95
00:06:55,874 --> 00:06:57,842
I mean really go to sleep.

96
00:06:57,918 --> 00:07:00,512
Just empty a bottle of pills
and say good night?

97
00:07:03,381 --> 00:07:04,803
Well, no...

98
00:07:05,592 --> 00:07:07,720
I never wanted to sit
on a flagpole either.

99
00:07:10,305 --> 00:07:12,478
We've had a wonderful talk, Mother.

100
00:07:12,557 --> 00:07:13,854
It was swell.

101
00:07:14,726 --> 00:07:17,445
You just closed a door on me,
didn't you, Hilda?

102
00:07:18,271 --> 00:07:20,114
No, not really.

103
00:07:20,190 --> 00:07:23,194
I didn't mean to sound disapproving.
Really I didn't.

104
00:07:23,777 --> 00:07:27,657
Don't work so hard at it, Mother.
We'll get together.

105
00:07:28,573 --> 00:07:30,621
I'm going to try it your way now.

106
00:07:31,826 --> 00:07:34,875
My way has failed
in every possible direction.

107
00:07:43,380 --> 00:07:45,599
- I hung up your dresses, Miss Hilda.
- Thank you, Clara.

108
00:07:57,102 --> 00:07:58,775
Hilda, tell me.

109
00:07:58,853 --> 00:08:01,481
I lied to you,
as you undoubtedly know.

110
00:08:01,564 --> 00:08:03,362
Yes, it was your coat that told me.

111
00:08:03,441 --> 00:08:06,615
It's still a very beautiful coat,
but the lining's quite worn.

112
00:08:06,695 --> 00:08:08,823
I should've known
I couldn't fool you, Mother.

113
00:08:09,656 --> 00:08:11,784
I didn't leave my job.

114
00:08:11,866 --> 00:08:14,415
They dispensed with my services.

115
00:08:14,494 --> 00:08:18,419
Assistant buyers at 6O a week
are easy to hire and easy to fire.

116
00:08:19,708 --> 00:08:22,211
There isn't any wonderful new job either.

117
00:08:23,003 --> 00:08:24,676
There isn't anything.

118
00:08:25,547 --> 00:08:29,017
Father never told me
what it was really like.

119
00:08:29,092 --> 00:08:30,594
I thought I could be independent,

120
00:08:30,677 --> 00:08:32,975
and I ended up being
more dependent than ever.

121
00:08:33,930 --> 00:08:36,729
Dependent on a series of men.

122
00:08:38,768 --> 00:08:40,896
Then you're here to stay after all.

123
00:08:40,979 --> 00:08:42,981
I suppose so.

124
00:08:43,064 --> 00:08:45,066
For a while anyway.

125
00:08:46,151 --> 00:08:48,119
But I want you to help me.

126
00:08:48,194 --> 00:08:50,288
I want you to help me very much.

127
00:08:51,114 --> 00:08:54,084
- Please, Mother?
- Of course I'll help you.

128
00:08:54,159 --> 00:08:56,503
I'm your mother. it's my job.

129
00:09:02,667 --> 00:09:04,294
Hey, Hilda!

130
00:09:06,087 --> 00:09:07,589
Hi!

131
00:09:08,298 --> 00:09:09,766
Hi!

132
00:09:09,841 --> 00:09:11,263
Hey, wait a minute.

133
00:09:12,135 --> 00:09:13,557
Hey, Finney!

134
00:09:29,235 --> 00:09:30,828
All right, take it away, Finney.

135
00:09:30,904 --> 00:09:33,373
- Hello, Russell. How are you anyway?
- Fine, Hilda, fine.

136
00:09:33,448 --> 00:09:35,997
I'm sorry
I haven't had a chance to call.

137
00:09:36,076 --> 00:09:39,205
I wish you had. I wanted to thank you
for the beautiful flowers.

138
00:09:39,287 --> 00:09:41,289
My, this is something.

139
00:09:41,372 --> 00:09:43,716
New library building.
It's the biggest thing I've ever tackled.

140
00:09:43,792 --> 00:09:45,840
I'm so happy about your success--

141
00:09:45,919 --> 00:09:48,092
What?

142
00:09:48,171 --> 00:09:51,391
I said you deserve it if anybody does.

143
00:09:51,466 --> 00:09:53,468
I'm getting a little deaf.
I think I better go.

144
00:09:53,551 --> 00:09:56,270
Hilda, there's something
I want to talk to you about.

145
00:09:56,346 --> 00:09:57,689
What?

146
00:09:57,764 --> 00:09:59,732
Never mind.
<i>I'll</i> get in touch with you later.

147
00:09:59,808 --> 00:10:01,435
I wish you would.

148
00:10:02,852 --> 00:10:04,900
Say, John, you take over here.

149
00:10:04,979 --> 00:10:07,198
- I'm going back to the office.
- Okay, Russ.

150
00:10:23,581 --> 00:10:26,710
- Worse than Henry VIII?
- Much worse.

151
00:10:26,793 --> 00:10:30,013
If I may be permitted just
a touch of national pride,

152
00:10:30,088 --> 00:10:34,559
Henry Vlll was a gilded saint in heaven
compared with Francis I of France.

153
00:10:36,386 --> 00:10:38,980
- Well, back to work.
- Hello, Jacques.

154
00:10:40,431 --> 00:10:41,978
Hilda.

155
00:10:42,517 --> 00:10:44,144
It isn't really you.

156
00:10:45,603 --> 00:10:47,105
Hilda Crane.

157
00:10:48,565 --> 00:10:50,863
Excuse me. One of my old students.

158
00:10:51,818 --> 00:10:53,536
That's all right.
Kiss her again.

159
00:10:53,611 --> 00:10:55,534
- Yes, go on.
- Why not?

160
00:10:56,364 --> 00:10:59,584
Do you realize it's five years?
Will you be in town long?

161
00:10:59,659 --> 00:11:02,458
- For quite a while, I think.
- Good. I must see you, Hilda.

162
00:11:02,537 --> 00:11:04,164
- Have dinner with me tonight.
- I'd love to.

163
00:11:04,247 --> 00:11:07,296
- Is Slattery's still the best place?
- The only place that doesn't poison you.

164
00:11:07,375 --> 00:11:10,094
Mr. Slattery is French,
on his mother's side.

165
00:11:11,004 --> 00:11:13,382
- I'll meet you there at 7:00.
- Fine. Bye.

166
00:11:14,841 --> 00:11:17,094
Well, back to work anyway.

167
00:11:22,891 --> 00:11:25,235
- Well, Hilda!
- How are you, Nell?

168
00:11:25,310 --> 00:11:27,813
I've been meaning to come
and see you, Dink and I both.

169
00:11:27,896 --> 00:11:30,649
- How is Dink, by the way?
- Well, you know, same old Dink.

170
00:11:30,732 --> 00:11:33,235
Real estate, bowling league,
Chamber of Commerce.

171
00:11:33,318 --> 00:11:34,786
Always rushing somewhere.

172
00:11:34,861 --> 00:11:36,738
That reminds me.
I've got to rush myself.

173
00:11:36,821 --> 00:11:39,825
Meeting of the Orphans Committee.
We're planning a rummage sale.

174
00:11:39,908 --> 00:11:42,502
Say, I couldn't interest you,
could I?

175
00:11:42,577 --> 00:11:44,955
No, no.
You wouldn't be interested in that.

176
00:11:45,038 --> 00:11:47,587
Maybe I would, Nell,
if you asked me.

177
00:11:47,665 --> 00:11:50,214
Well, that's swell, Hilda.
I'll talk to the committee about it.

178
00:11:50,293 --> 00:11:53,467
Bye now. <i>I'll</i> call you.
We've got a lot to talk about, you and I.

179
00:11:53,546 --> 00:11:55,719
- You look wonderful.
- You look pretty good yourself.

180
00:11:55,798 --> 00:11:57,095
Bye.

181
00:12:07,894 --> 00:12:10,693
- Hilda?
- Have you had any lunch?

182
00:12:10,772 --> 00:12:12,991
Yes, I had a sandwich in the drugstore.
Thank you.

183
00:12:13,066 --> 00:12:15,694
This letterjust came for you.
It was sent by hand.

184
00:12:15,777 --> 00:12:17,199
It's from Russell.

185
00:12:17,278 --> 00:12:18,495
Yes, I know.

186
00:12:18,571 --> 00:12:21,245
Mother, I saw Jacques de Lisle.

187
00:12:22,242 --> 00:12:24,165
- Really?
- Jacques is sweet.

188
00:12:24,244 --> 00:12:27,123
He's just as charming and innocent
as when we used to hold hands

189
00:12:27,205 --> 00:12:29,299
and walk along the south campus.

190
00:12:29,916 --> 00:12:32,760
- Aren't you going to read your letter?
- Yes, the letter.

191
00:12:33,544 --> 00:12:36,923
I had a feeling when I saw him
that time had stopped.

192
00:12:37,006 --> 00:12:38,428
Nothing's changed.

193
00:12:38,508 --> 00:12:40,510
Everything's just as it used to be.

194
00:12:40,593 --> 00:12:42,595
The girls still adore him.

195
00:12:44,889 --> 00:12:48,063
Mother, do you know what's in this letter?

196
00:12:48,142 --> 00:12:51,112
Yes, as a matter of fact I do.
Russell discussed it with me.

197
00:12:51,771 --> 00:12:53,398
Well, he wants to marry me.

198
00:12:53,940 --> 00:12:55,783
That shouldn't surprise you.

199
00:12:57,735 --> 00:12:59,829
He's loved me ever since I was 17

200
00:12:59,904 --> 00:13:02,532
and he came to make
the bookcase for my room.

201
00:13:03,491 --> 00:13:06,995
“Between the day you ordered it
and the day I brought it to you,

202
00:13:07,662 --> 00:13:09,664
your father had died.

203
00:13:10,957 --> 00:13:15,337
How gay you were the first time
and how sad the second.”

204
00:13:17,755 --> 00:13:19,507
He's such a nice guy.

205
00:13:20,466 --> 00:13:22,093
And it's a beautiful bookcase.

206
00:13:23,678 --> 00:13:26,682
You know, I think any woman,

207
00:13:26,764 --> 00:13:29,358
unless she's completely
frivolous and stupid,

208
00:13:29,434 --> 00:13:31,687
would be very moved by a proposal.

209
00:13:32,729 --> 00:13:35,323
Any woman, no matter who the man is.

210
00:13:35,398 --> 00:13:37,571
Hilda, I like you in this mood.

211
00:13:38,151 --> 00:13:39,994
This letter frightens me though.

212
00:13:40,737 --> 00:13:42,785
- It frightens you?
- Yes, it's--

213
00:13:43,239 --> 00:13:45,287
it's like being on a desert island,

214
00:13:46,075 --> 00:13:47,702
and suddenly a ship comes along,

215
00:13:47,785 --> 00:13:50,334
and it may not be going
where you want to go,

216
00:13:50,830 --> 00:13:52,457
it may not be flying your flag,

217
00:13:52,540 --> 00:13:55,214
but... there you are.

218
00:13:57,754 --> 00:14:01,133
I wouldn't presume to offer you advice,
but you did ask for my help.

219
00:14:01,215 --> 00:14:04,059
- Russell would make an excellent husband.
- Don't.

220
00:14:04,719 --> 00:14:08,144
Hold it, Mother.
Just let it hang in the air for a while.

221
00:14:15,271 --> 00:14:16,318
How do you do?

222
00:14:16,397 --> 00:14:20,243
I was just taking a little ride,
so I'd thought I'd stop by and say hello.

223
00:14:20,318 --> 00:14:23,868
Mrs. Burns.
This is indeed a pleasure.

224
00:14:23,946 --> 00:14:25,038
Do you know my daughter?

225
00:14:25,114 --> 00:14:27,287
How do you do, Mrs. Burns?
It's nice to see you.

226
00:14:27,367 --> 00:14:28,664
Likewise.

227
00:14:29,494 --> 00:14:30,996
May I take your coat?

228
00:14:31,079 --> 00:14:34,003
I'd rather wear it.
It's Russell's Christmas present.

229
00:14:34,082 --> 00:14:35,709
It's a beautiful coat.

230
00:14:35,792 --> 00:14:38,045
Real Alaska sealskin.

231
00:14:38,836 --> 00:14:40,509
Like to show it off.

232
00:14:44,050 --> 00:14:45,677
May I offer you
a drink or something?

233
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:47,888
Liquor ain't good for my heart condition.

234
00:14:48,805 --> 00:14:50,603
Well, this is a pleasant surprise.

235
00:14:50,681 --> 00:14:52,934
Now, don't kid me.
This ain't a surprise.

236
00:14:53,017 --> 00:14:54,564
You know why I'm here.

237
00:14:54,644 --> 00:14:56,612
My son sent you a letter,
didn't he?

238
00:14:56,687 --> 00:14:58,280
Yes, he did.

239
00:14:58,356 --> 00:15:00,950
I don't mean to make no trouble,
but I guess I got a right

240
00:15:01,025 --> 00:15:03,778
to get acquainted
with folks he's interested in.

241
00:15:03,861 --> 00:15:06,034
I got that right, ain't I?

242
00:15:06,114 --> 00:15:07,991
Well, you certainly have.

243
00:15:08,074 --> 00:15:11,874
I was just thinking how strange it is
that we haven't met before, Mrs. Burns.

244
00:15:11,953 --> 00:15:15,082
- It's such a small town.
- It's nice you met Russell anyway.

245
00:15:15,164 --> 00:15:17,883
- But it is strange, isn't it?
- What's so strange about it?

246
00:15:17,959 --> 00:15:21,008
You, a professor's wife, and me,
that used to run a hamburger stand.

247
00:15:21,087 --> 00:15:22,634
But what courage.

248
00:15:22,713 --> 00:15:25,808
Why, everyone admires you,
Mrs. Burns.

249
00:15:25,883 --> 00:15:28,136
The way you put Russell
through high school

250
00:15:28,219 --> 00:15:30,313
and how you sacrificed for him

251
00:15:30,388 --> 00:15:32,186
and how you made
his success possible.

252
00:15:32,849 --> 00:15:34,021
It's the truth.

253
00:15:34,851 --> 00:15:37,946
I live for nothing but that boy.

254
00:15:38,020 --> 00:15:40,944
You must be very proud of him
now, Mrs. Burns.

255
00:15:41,023 --> 00:15:43,242
Yeah, I am.

256
00:15:43,317 --> 00:15:46,662
Now, suppose I ask you a few questions.

257
00:15:46,737 --> 00:15:49,911
- You own this house, don't you?
- Well, yes--

258
00:15:49,991 --> 00:15:52,369
- Your car paid for?
- Yes.

259
00:15:52,452 --> 00:15:55,080
- Any other property?
- No.

260
00:15:55,163 --> 00:15:57,632
Just a small income from
your husband's estate. That right?

261
00:15:57,707 --> 00:16:00,005
You've been married
and divorced twice. That right?

262
00:16:00,084 --> 00:16:01,051
That's right.

263
00:16:01,127 --> 00:16:03,630
- You got a mink coat, I hear.
- Yes, I have.

264
00:16:03,713 --> 00:16:05,431
Got anything
besides what's on your back?

265
00:16:05,506 --> 00:16:08,180
Now, look, Mrs. Burns,
I know you don't mean to be rude,

266
00:16:08,259 --> 00:16:10,887
but you sound rude.

267
00:16:10,970 --> 00:16:14,349
You're here because you love your son
and you don't want him to make a mistake.

268
00:16:14,432 --> 00:16:16,400
Well, I don't want
to make a mistake either.

269
00:16:16,476 --> 00:16:17,819
Not again.

270
00:16:17,894 --> 00:16:19,521
And if I don't intend to marry him,

271
00:16:19,604 --> 00:16:22,027
then your questions
do become a little impertinent.

272
00:16:22,106 --> 00:16:26,828
You mean to tell me you're gonna pass up
a proposition like my Russell?

273
00:16:26,903 --> 00:16:30,282
My inclination is to say no to him,
but I want to think it over.

274
00:16:31,657 --> 00:16:34,160
'Specially his bank account.

275
00:16:34,243 --> 00:16:36,211
I know he's well off, Mrs. Burns,

276
00:16:36,287 --> 00:16:39,291
but what I'm really thinking about
is how kind he is,

277
00:16:39,373 --> 00:16:40,716
how good he is,

278
00:16:40,791 --> 00:16:43,089
and especially how much
he seems to care for me.

279
00:16:43,169 --> 00:16:46,799
Russell's taken girls out before,
and his heart ain't been broken yet.

280
00:16:46,881 --> 00:16:48,554
Was he serious about them?

281
00:16:48,633 --> 00:16:51,227
He might have been, but then
I talked a little sense into him.

282
00:16:51,302 --> 00:16:53,350
Have you talked a little sense
into him about me?

283
00:16:53,429 --> 00:16:55,648
I ain't had a chance.
It come up so sudden.

284
00:16:55,723 --> 00:16:58,647
- I see.
- He done this behind my back.

285
00:16:59,810 --> 00:17:02,404
Mrs. Burns, you could be
a great help to me.

286
00:17:03,689 --> 00:17:05,987
Suppose you go home
and do everything in your power,

287
00:17:06,067 --> 00:17:09,571
just as you did with the other girls,
to keep Russell from seeing me again?

288
00:17:09,654 --> 00:17:11,782
If you succeed, I shall be relieved.

289
00:17:12,740 --> 00:17:14,208
If he still wants to marry me,

290
00:17:14,283 --> 00:17:17,958
if he repeats what's in his letter,
that his whole life depends on me,

291
00:17:18,829 --> 00:17:20,957
then I shall have a problem.

292
00:17:25,169 --> 00:17:26,762
I mustn't get excited.

293
00:17:27,588 --> 00:17:29,932
I always tell Russell
I mustn't get excited.

294
00:17:30,925 --> 00:17:32,677
I need a little air.

295
00:17:33,636 --> 00:17:36,981
I've got a bad heart,
and excitement ain't good for me.

296
00:17:37,056 --> 00:17:40,185
- I'm sorry, Mrs. Burns.
- I don't think I said nothing.

297
00:17:40,268 --> 00:17:42,896
I mean, well, if you should
be talking to Russell,

298
00:17:42,979 --> 00:17:45,858
I don't think you could say
I was impolite or anything, you think?

299
00:17:45,940 --> 00:17:48,318
I'll never say a word, Mrs. Burns.

300
00:17:49,110 --> 00:17:51,488
Well, this has been
a real nice little visit.

301
00:17:51,571 --> 00:17:52,868
Real nice.

302
00:17:52,947 --> 00:17:54,620
Awfully glad you stopped in.

303
00:17:56,409 --> 00:17:57,911
Likewise, I'm sure.

304
00:17:57,994 --> 00:18:00,588
Good-bye, Mrs. Burns. Good-bye.

305
00:18:02,832 --> 00:18:04,926
I really am glad she came.

306
00:18:05,501 --> 00:18:07,549
There were a few moments
when I was rather terrified,

307
00:18:07,628 --> 00:18:10,256
but all in all, I think
you behaved splendidly.

308
00:18:10,339 --> 00:18:11,682
- You do?
- Yes, splendidly.

309
00:18:11,757 --> 00:18:15,011
Would you mind very much
if I left for New York this afternoon?

310
00:18:15,678 --> 00:18:18,272
- If you what?
- I don't belong in this town.

311
00:18:18,848 --> 00:18:20,270
I don't know
what you're talking about.

312
00:18:20,349 --> 00:18:22,977
You've just shown that you can behave
like a respectable woman,

313
00:18:23,060 --> 00:18:24,733
with dignity and courage.

314
00:18:24,812 --> 00:18:26,655
You left that creature
without a leg to stand on.

315
00:18:26,731 --> 00:18:28,950
I couldn't go through
anything like that again.

316
00:18:29,025 --> 00:18:30,823
But you won't have to.

317
00:18:33,279 --> 00:18:36,499
You're right. Maybe I won't.

318
00:18:36,574 --> 00:18:39,202
Mother, would you tell Clara
that I won't be in for dinner tonight?

319
00:18:39,285 --> 00:18:41,458
- You're going out?
- Yes, I'm going out with Jacques de Lisle.

320
00:18:41,537 --> 00:18:43,881
- Hilda.
- Mother, I don't want to marry Russell Burns.

321
00:18:43,956 --> 00:18:45,458
It's all insane.

322
00:18:45,541 --> 00:18:48,385
I still have time--
all the time in the world.

323
00:18:48,461 --> 00:18:51,135
Why do we act as if I'm about
to become middle-aged any minute?

324
00:18:51,213 --> 00:18:53,307
Surely you realize
that Professor de Lisle is not as good--

325
00:18:53,382 --> 00:18:54,725
I don't care.

326
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,098
Maybe I can have it the way I want.

327
00:18:57,178 --> 00:18:59,226
I think he still likes me.

328
00:18:59,305 --> 00:19:00,306
He's civilized,

329
00:19:00,389 --> 00:19:03,188
but not snide and horrible
like those men in New York.

330
00:19:03,267 --> 00:19:06,066
Maybe I can, Mother.
Maybe I can!

331
00:19:06,145 --> 00:19:07,271
Hilda.

332
00:19:13,402 --> 00:19:14,870
Where shall we go?

333
00:19:14,945 --> 00:19:17,994
Well, there's a basketball game
at the gym

334
00:19:18,074 --> 00:19:19,951
and a lecture at the YMCA.

335
00:19:20,034 --> 00:19:22,162
Let's walk, shall we?

336
00:19:38,427 --> 00:19:40,771
It's funny. This little walk
has meant more to me than--

337
00:19:40,846 --> 00:19:43,440
than two years of one marriage,
one year of another,

338
00:19:43,516 --> 00:19:45,393
and all the years between and after.

339
00:19:45,476 --> 00:19:47,945
We had walks like this in the past,

340
00:19:48,020 --> 00:19:49,772
and you talked like that too.

341
00:19:49,855 --> 00:19:51,698
I was only a baby then.

342
00:19:51,774 --> 00:19:53,321
So I thought.

343
00:19:53,401 --> 00:19:58,123
And then along came a football player
who didn't think you were a baby at all.

344
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:01,459
Did you really want me, Jacques?

345
00:20:03,077 --> 00:20:05,921
- Did you want me?
- I wanted a lot of things.

346
00:20:05,996 --> 00:20:07,714
Perhaps you were one of them.

347
00:20:09,959 --> 00:20:11,836
This happens to be where I live.

348
00:20:12,420 --> 00:20:13,421
Come in.

349
00:20:13,504 --> 00:20:14,881
All right, Jacques.

350
00:20:25,641 --> 00:20:27,564
It's a lovely room, Jacques.

351
00:20:27,643 --> 00:20:30,772
Yes. I'm leaving it
at the end of the semester.

352
00:20:30,855 --> 00:20:33,233
But why, when they just
made you a full professor?

353
00:20:33,315 --> 00:20:35,067
Associate professor,

354
00:20:35,151 --> 00:20:37,449
at $4,800 a year.

355
00:20:38,487 --> 00:20:40,285
Lovely room and all.

356
00:20:40,364 --> 00:20:41,991
These are worth much more.

357
00:20:42,700 --> 00:20:44,748
The galley proofs of my novel.

358
00:20:44,827 --> 00:20:46,921
The publishers gave me
an advance of $10,000.

359
00:20:46,996 --> 00:20:48,623
You've written a novel, Jacques?

360
00:20:48,706 --> 00:20:51,175
- The Kingis Cou/Tesan.
- It's a historical novel.

361
00:20:51,250 --> 00:20:53,924
Nowadays that means one part history

362
00:20:54,003 --> 00:20:56,301
and nine parts sex, violence,
and skulduggery.

363
00:20:56,380 --> 00:20:59,054
Mostly sex. Real tripe.

364
00:20:59,133 --> 00:21:00,806
I intend to write one every year

365
00:21:00,885 --> 00:21:02,808
and to become rich and famous.

366
00:21:02,887 --> 00:21:04,855
You see, I am not a man of integrity.

367
00:21:04,930 --> 00:21:06,477
I think it's wonderful.

368
00:21:06,932 --> 00:21:08,479
Wait till you read it.

369
00:21:08,559 --> 00:21:10,653
Here is the design for the jacket.

370
00:21:10,728 --> 00:21:12,571
My, what big eyes she has.

371
00:21:12,646 --> 00:21:14,614
My great-great-grandmother.

372
00:21:14,690 --> 00:21:16,692
The basis of the novel is factual.

373
00:21:23,324 --> 00:21:26,453
Well, that wasn't a campus kiss, Jacques.

374
00:21:27,828 --> 00:21:29,956
I've been waiting to do that
for five years.

375
00:21:31,582 --> 00:21:34,210
You came back to Winona twice,
and you never called me.

376
00:21:34,293 --> 00:21:37,046
Well, I thought about you.
Quite often.

377
00:21:40,966 --> 00:21:42,718
Why did you divorce him?

378
00:21:42,802 --> 00:21:44,725
Which one?

379
00:21:44,804 --> 00:21:46,147
The football player.

380
00:21:46,222 --> 00:21:49,567
Because we believed
in love and... lost it.

381
00:21:49,642 --> 00:21:52,191
- Is that an original or a copy?
- Copy.

382
00:21:52,728 --> 00:21:55,026
You mean desire, don't you?

383
00:21:55,105 --> 00:21:56,357
Aren't they the same?

384
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:57,942
That's a schoolgirl's question.

385
00:21:58,025 --> 00:22:00,528
Well, then, schoolgirls have
more courage than most women,

386
00:22:00,611 --> 00:22:03,865
who'll settle for three meals a day
and love once a month.

387
00:22:04,740 --> 00:22:07,869
So, the football player
ceased to thrill you,

388
00:22:07,952 --> 00:22:09,750
and you walked out on him.

389
00:22:10,454 --> 00:22:12,377
Yes, you might put it that way.

390
00:22:12,456 --> 00:22:16,051
But let's not talk about old marriages.
They're as dead as yesterday's newspaper.

391
00:22:16,877 --> 00:22:19,050
What about the second, the editor?

392
00:22:19,129 --> 00:22:20,972
What was wrong with him?

393
00:22:21,549 --> 00:22:25,474
It just didn't work out,
so we agreed to separate.

394
00:22:26,178 --> 00:22:30,649
He very kindly offered me alimony,
and I very naturally refused it.

395
00:22:31,684 --> 00:22:35,029
You have, as they say, lived,
haven't you?

396
00:22:37,690 --> 00:22:39,317
Does it show in my face, Jacques?

397
00:22:41,652 --> 00:22:43,450
Yes.

398
00:22:43,529 --> 00:22:45,281
It's very provocative.

399
00:22:46,282 --> 00:22:47,579
I'd like a drink.

400
00:22:47,658 --> 00:22:50,832
You're even more attractive than you used
to be when you were an innocent child.

401
00:22:50,911 --> 00:22:53,755
Well, that's very nice,
but I'd still like a drink.

402
00:22:53,831 --> 00:22:56,004
You gave me a bad time, Hilda.

403
00:22:56,083 --> 00:22:58,085
You and the football player.

404
00:23:01,881 --> 00:23:04,555
You see, it was a blow to my ego.

405
00:23:05,968 --> 00:23:07,595
And so was the editor.

406
00:23:08,971 --> 00:23:12,316
And the others, whoever they were.

407
00:23:13,017 --> 00:23:16,271
And later on--
I'm not boring you?

408
00:23:16,353 --> 00:23:17,855
No, Jacques. Go on.

409
00:23:18,439 --> 00:23:21,693
Later on, I developed a dream
about you and me.

410
00:23:21,775 --> 00:23:23,994
It was a schoolboy dream,
of course.

411
00:23:24,945 --> 00:23:26,663
It went like this.

412
00:23:27,364 --> 00:23:29,913
I had become a famous novelist.

413
00:23:30,701 --> 00:23:33,124
I always wanted to write
a good book, you know?

414
00:23:33,203 --> 00:23:34,955
Not this tripe here.

415
00:23:36,248 --> 00:23:38,671
Anyway, I'm famous,

416
00:23:38,751 --> 00:23:40,344
and I come to New York a celebrity.

417
00:23:40,419 --> 00:23:41,716
I meet you.

418
00:23:42,546 --> 00:23:43,798
You are still beautiful,

419
00:23:43,881 --> 00:23:48,182
but you are disillusioned
with your second-rate life.

420
00:23:48,260 --> 00:23:50,763
We have champagne, dinner,
and so forth.

421
00:23:52,890 --> 00:23:55,689
At dawn the next day,
when you leave my suite,

422
00:23:56,352 --> 00:23:59,105
you realize that when
you left me five years ago,

423
00:23:59,897 --> 00:24:02,696
you made the most tragic
mistake of your life.

424
00:24:03,901 --> 00:24:05,869
But I--

425
00:24:06,862 --> 00:24:11,083
I yawn, turn over in bed,
and go back to sleep...

426
00:24:12,284 --> 00:24:14,707
having forgotten even your name.

427
00:24:20,709 --> 00:24:22,586
Is that why you invited me
in here, Jacques,

428
00:24:22,670 --> 00:24:24,263
to tell me your dream?

429
00:24:24,338 --> 00:24:25,681
That's why.

430
00:24:26,674 --> 00:24:28,096
I had a dream, too,

431
00:24:28,175 --> 00:24:30,724
just as juvenile as your dream about me.

432
00:24:31,679 --> 00:24:34,023
I dreamed that when we met again,
time would stop

433
00:24:34,098 --> 00:24:36,772
and all the years would fade.

434
00:24:36,850 --> 00:24:38,602
You'd ask me to marry you.

435
00:24:39,186 --> 00:24:41,439
We'd elope right then and there

436
00:24:41,522 --> 00:24:43,570
and live happily ever after.

437
00:24:49,989 --> 00:24:51,036
Good-bye, Jacques.

438
00:24:51,115 --> 00:24:52,992
Good luck in your new career.

439
00:25:01,792 --> 00:25:04,090
- No, I mean it.
- You can't leave now.

440
00:25:04,169 --> 00:25:06,422
My dear, darling Jacques,
you mean you want to marry me?

441
00:25:06,505 --> 00:25:07,848
You know what I mean.

442
00:25:07,923 --> 00:25:09,550
You think I'm a bit of a tramp,
don't you?

443
00:25:09,633 --> 00:25:11,727
I think you are a grown woman
and lovely.

444
00:25:11,802 --> 00:25:13,429
And a bit of a tramp.

445
00:25:14,555 --> 00:25:15,807
Well, I'm not.

446
00:25:19,101 --> 00:25:21,479
Jacques, will you play a game with me?
I'm in a mood.

447
00:25:21,562 --> 00:25:23,235
- It's strictly a game.
- What game?

448
00:25:23,313 --> 00:25:25,315
Ask me to elope with you right now.

449
00:25:25,399 --> 00:25:28,027
I won't hold you to it.
I just want to hear the words.

450
00:25:28,110 --> 00:25:29,862
Elope with me right now?

451
00:25:29,945 --> 00:25:32,698
I'd love to, Jacques.
Where shall we go?

452
00:25:32,781 --> 00:25:34,499
You can speak freely.
It's just a game.

453
00:25:34,575 --> 00:25:35,997
You're a great girl.

454
00:25:36,076 --> 00:25:37,544
But somewhat secondhand,

455
00:25:37,619 --> 00:25:40,338
and men don't marry
secondhand women, do they?

456
00:25:40,956 --> 00:25:43,584
Especially Frenchmen.
They don't marry girls like me.

457
00:25:43,667 --> 00:25:44,964
They marry a different kind,

458
00:25:45,044 --> 00:25:46,671
and with my type
they make an arrangement.

459
00:25:46,754 --> 00:25:48,256
- Hilda.
- But I want to be married.

460
00:25:48,338 --> 00:25:50,306
I'm sick of being a great girl.

461
00:25:50,382 --> 00:25:53,261
I want to have children and live
with one man for the rest of my life.

462
00:25:53,343 --> 00:25:54,936
Have you ever heard anything
so grotesque?

463
00:25:55,012 --> 00:25:57,231
Hilda, it wouldn't last a month.

464
00:25:57,765 --> 00:26:00,063
I would suspect every man you met.

465
00:26:00,142 --> 00:26:01,860
Will you please let go of me, Professor?

466
00:26:01,935 --> 00:26:04,404
Because I'm hating you right now.
I'm hating you something awful!

467
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:06,323
Hilda, give me a chance.

468
00:26:06,398 --> 00:26:08,400
Try to understand I'm in love with you.

469
00:26:08,484 --> 00:26:10,111
I've always been.

470
00:26:10,194 --> 00:26:13,038
Give me half a chance.
Give me some time.

471
00:26:49,399 --> 00:26:50,616
<i><i>Ladies and gentlemen,</i>

472
00:26:50,692 --> 00:26:53,115
<i>you do n02' have to have gray hair anymore.</i>

473
00:26:53,195 --> 00:26:55,698
<i>Just one application
of this miracle formula,</i>

474
00:26:55,781 --> 00:26:59,251
<i>and your gray hairs will vanish,
along with your gray cares.</i>

475
00:26:59,326 --> 00:27:01,704
- <i>Vanish Gray is n02' a soap, n02' a powder...
- Hello.</i>

476
00:27:01,787 --> 00:27:05,667
Why, yes, certainly.

477
00:27:06,917 --> 00:27:09,887
No, of course it's not too late.
<i>I'll</i> be over right away.

478
00:27:15,300 --> 00:27:17,678
- You're going?
- Yes, Mother, I'm going.

479
00:27:17,761 --> 00:27:19,729
Now, don't sit up all night
staring at that thing.

480
00:27:19,805 --> 00:27:21,899
You know you need your sleep.

481
00:27:22,599 --> 00:27:24,818
I'll be back in a little while.
Good night.

482
00:27:25,644 --> 00:27:26,770
Good night.

483
00:27:30,190 --> 00:27:34,616
<i>...and you receive absolutely free
a month's supply of Vanish Gray!</i>

484
00:27:50,043 --> 00:27:51,795
Don't ring. I'm here.

485
00:27:51,879 --> 00:27:53,927
Hilda. ls there anything wrong?

486
00:27:54,006 --> 00:27:56,634
Russell, did your mother
say anything to you?

487
00:27:56,717 --> 00:27:59,641
I found out she invited herself here.
I'm sorry about that.

488
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:01,814
- She was kind enough to call on us.
- She invited herself.

489
00:28:01,889 --> 00:28:03,266
Let's keep it simple.

490
00:28:03,348 --> 00:28:05,225
I suppose she told you
everything I said to her.

491
00:28:05,309 --> 00:28:08,062
I doubt
if she left anything out.

492
00:28:08,145 --> 00:28:10,147
You-- you got my letter?

493
00:28:10,731 --> 00:28:13,735
Yes, I did. I thought it was
a fine letter, Russell.

494
00:28:13,817 --> 00:28:17,196
You did? Well, there's no hurry
about giving me an answer.

495
00:28:17,279 --> 00:28:18,371
No hurry at all. I--

496
00:28:18,447 --> 00:28:21,326
Well, it was a little sudden,
and we've seen each other so seldom.

497
00:28:21,408 --> 00:28:24,332
- You thought I wrote it on impulse?
- I've been called impulsive myself.

498
00:28:24,411 --> 00:28:26,459
Sure, I know.
If you mean your marriages,

499
00:28:26,538 --> 00:28:29,166
I guess you were just
trying to find happiness.

500
00:28:29,249 --> 00:28:31,251
I can't very well blame you for that.

501
00:28:31,335 --> 00:28:32,928
- Can't you?
- What I mean is,

502
00:28:33,003 --> 00:28:34,721
you're a modern woman and--

503
00:28:35,672 --> 00:28:37,424
I guess I'm putting this pretty badly.

504
00:28:37,507 --> 00:28:39,225
I'm not very good
at saying emotional things.

505
00:28:39,301 --> 00:28:41,474
- That's why I wrote you the letter.
- I'll marry you, Russell.

506
00:28:43,055 --> 00:28:44,477
You'll what?

507
00:28:45,474 --> 00:28:47,397
I said <i>I'll</i> marry you.

508
00:28:48,936 --> 00:28:50,483
I don't know what to say. I--

509
00:28:50,562 --> 00:28:52,235
I didn't think you'd accept.

510
00:28:53,148 --> 00:28:54,525
Hilda...

511
00:28:56,109 --> 00:28:58,237
you make me very happy.

512
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:00,038
I'd like to do that.

513
00:29:04,910 --> 00:29:07,129
- Good night.
- Well, good night.

514
00:29:07,829 --> 00:29:08,876
Call me in the morning?

515
00:29:08,956 --> 00:29:11,254
Yes. Yes, <i>I'll</i> call you in the morning.

516
00:29:11,333 --> 00:29:14,052
Good night.

517
00:29:15,212 --> 00:29:16,384
Good night.

518
00:29:20,801 --> 00:29:22,144
Aaughs)

519
00:29:32,062 --> 00:29:34,736
Wasn't that Russell's car?
What was he doing here?

520
00:29:34,815 --> 00:29:36,692
- I sent for him.
- You did?

521
00:29:37,818 --> 00:29:39,820
I'm going to marry him, Mother.

522
00:29:39,903 --> 00:29:41,780
Hilda, darling,

523
00:29:41,863 --> 00:29:44,241
I can't tell you how pleased I am.

524
00:29:44,324 --> 00:29:47,077
Yes, I'm going to be
the mother of his children.

525
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:50,039
I'll be his housekeeper, his hostess.

526
00:29:50,122 --> 00:29:53,342
<i>I'll</i> uphold his dignity
and be true to him.

527
00:29:54,459 --> 00:29:57,178
I don't think it matters at all
that I don't love him.

528
00:29:59,256 --> 00:30:00,883
Did you settle
on a time for the wedding?

529
00:30:00,966 --> 00:30:03,435
- The sooner the better, I should think.
- I disagree.

530
00:30:03,510 --> 00:30:05,683
There are many reasons
why this should be a formal wedding,

531
00:30:05,762 --> 00:30:07,309
after a decent period of engagement.

532
00:30:07,389 --> 00:30:09,687
But why, Mother?
What difference does it make?

533
00:30:09,766 --> 00:30:11,063
All the difference in the world.

534
00:30:13,353 --> 00:30:15,606
You've been married twice, in haste.

535
00:30:15,689 --> 00:30:19,159
This time we want to create
an entirely different impression.

536
00:30:19,234 --> 00:30:21,282
A June wedding would be best,
I think.

537
00:30:21,361 --> 00:30:24,240
Whatever you say.
We're playing it your way now.

538
00:30:24,323 --> 00:30:25,620
Hilda...

539
00:30:27,617 --> 00:30:29,995
Mother, when I was a little girl,

540
00:30:30,078 --> 00:30:32,627
you used to read to me from the Bible.

541
00:30:32,706 --> 00:30:34,708
Yes. Would you like me
to read something to you now?

542
00:30:34,791 --> 00:30:37,715
Is there a passage in it
that goes something like,

543
00:30:37,794 --> 00:30:41,640
“You may stumble and fail again and again,

544
00:30:41,715 --> 00:30:44,468
and the Lord will not pass judgment.

545
00:30:45,052 --> 00:30:46,474
He will have mercy.

546
00:30:49,139 --> 00:30:50,686
But there will come a time

547
00:30:50,766 --> 00:30:52,643
when you dare not falter:

548
00:30:53,602 --> 00:30:55,320
the year,

549
00:30:55,395 --> 00:30:57,614
the day of your last chance.

550
00:30:58,732 --> 00:31:00,279
Then, my daughter,

551
00:31:00,359 --> 00:31:03,238
take whatever hand is held out to you

552
00:31:04,029 --> 00:31:07,249
and walk with courage
out of the darkness...

553
00:31:09,242 --> 00:31:10,289
into the light”?

554
00:31:11,620 --> 00:31:14,920
I don't remember anything like that. No.

555
00:31:17,459 --> 00:31:19,837
It isn't in the Bible, but it should be.

556
00:31:22,089 --> 00:31:23,466
I made it up.

557
00:31:26,426 --> 00:31:28,599
Those whom God hath joined together,

558
00:31:28,678 --> 00:31:31,101
let no man put asunder.

559
00:31:31,181 --> 00:31:33,479
Join your right hands together.

560
00:31:34,351 --> 00:31:36,194
I pronounce you man and wife,

561
00:31:36,269 --> 00:31:39,113
according to the ordinance
of God and the law of this state,

562
00:31:39,189 --> 00:31:40,987
and in the name
of the Father and of the Son

563
00:31:41,066 --> 00:31:43,160
and of the Holy Spirit, amen.

564
00:31:43,944 --> 00:31:46,447
And then you kiss the bride.

565
00:31:47,197 --> 00:31:48,665
Am I allowed to at the rehearsal?

566
00:31:48,740 --> 00:31:49,992
Of course.

567
00:31:57,582 --> 00:31:59,334
Hilda,
it's going to be just beautiful.

568
00:31:59,418 --> 00:32:01,045
I can't wait to see
your wedding dress.

569
00:32:01,128 --> 00:32:02,505
- And that's it?
- That's it.

570
00:32:02,587 --> 00:32:03,884
I'm due at the hospital, Hilda.

571
00:32:03,964 --> 00:32:06,342
Thank you so much
for coming, Dr. Joe.

572
00:32:06,425 --> 00:32:09,429
Well, if I've got to give you away,
I might as well do it right.

573
00:32:09,511 --> 00:32:12,355
I wish your father
were here to do it for himself.

574
00:32:12,431 --> 00:32:14,479
- See you tomorrow. So long, Russ.
- Good-bye, Doc.

575
00:32:14,558 --> 00:32:17,311
I'm afraid we've held you up, Russell.
Run along if you're late.

576
00:32:17,394 --> 00:32:18,816
You did beautifully, darling.

577
00:32:18,895 --> 00:32:21,148
I was as nervous
as if it were the real thing.

578
00:32:21,982 --> 00:32:23,825
- I'll drop in later. Good-bye.
- Okay.

579
00:32:24,401 --> 00:32:26,824
- Mrs. Burns.
- Good-bye, Mrs. Burns.

580
00:32:31,408 --> 00:32:32,910
- Well, of all the--
- Shh.

581
00:32:32,993 --> 00:32:36,293
You know, you're lucky, Hilda.
A really nice guy.

582
00:32:36,371 --> 00:32:38,544
But that mother of his--

583
00:32:38,623 --> 00:32:41,172
Now, Nell. She's really quite
a person when you get to know her.

584
00:32:41,251 --> 00:32:44,130
Not me.
The less I know her, the better I'll feel.

585
00:32:44,212 --> 00:32:46,510
I hope you're going to be
polite to her at the reception.

586
00:32:46,590 --> 00:32:48,388
Well, just barely.

587
00:32:48,467 --> 00:32:50,219
I don't have to make
with the frozen smile.

588
00:32:50,302 --> 00:32:51,645
I'm not the bride.

589
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:53,313
I have to meet the caterers
back at the house.

590
00:32:53,388 --> 00:32:55,561
- Are you coming with me?
- No, I'll come on later. I'd like to walk.

591
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:57,688
Whatever you say, dear. Good-bye.

592
00:32:57,767 --> 00:32:59,815
You know, I'm serious
about that old bat, Hilda.

593
00:32:59,895 --> 00:33:02,023
Mark my words.
She'll make your life miserable

594
00:33:02,105 --> 00:33:04,699
if you don't put your foot down,
make her understand who's boss.

595
00:33:04,774 --> 00:33:07,243
Now, look, when Hilda and Russell
get back from Honolulu, they can--

596
00:33:07,319 --> 00:33:10,619
That's too late, and you know it, Dink.
You've got to nip them in the bud.

597
00:33:10,697 --> 00:33:12,324
She's not going to live with you,
is she?

598
00:33:12,407 --> 00:33:14,125
I haven't discussed it
with Russell yet,

599
00:33:14,201 --> 00:33:16,374
but I think he feels
under obligation to her.

600
00:33:16,453 --> 00:33:19,377
- And with her heart condition--
- Heart condition, my foot.

601
00:33:19,456 --> 00:33:22,084
She's as healthy as a horse.
Ask Dr. Joe.

602
00:33:22,167 --> 00:33:25,967
She trades on that alleged heart of hers
just to keep her thumb on Russell.

603
00:33:26,046 --> 00:33:28,094
Every time he finds a new girl,

604
00:33:28,173 --> 00:33:30,016
she gets another heart attack.

605
00:33:30,091 --> 00:33:33,391
You take my advice
and push her right out in the street.

606
00:33:33,470 --> 00:33:36,269
There. I've done my duty
as matron of honor.

607
00:33:38,517 --> 00:33:41,441
Say, maybe I can
mix business with pleasure

608
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:43,522
and sell you a little house for her.

609
00:33:43,605 --> 00:33:46,199
I've got a whole block of houses
on Maple Street full of mother-in-laws.

610
00:33:46,274 --> 00:33:49,778
And they love it. They can bellyache
to each other all day long.

611
00:33:51,238 --> 00:33:54,082
As a matter of fact, I think
I've got just the place for her.

612
00:33:54,157 --> 00:33:57,286
It's right in the middle of the block,
and she can bellyache in both directions.

613
00:33:57,369 --> 00:33:58,996
"Shh!
flaughing)

614
00:33:59,079 --> 00:34:02,925
- Did I put my foot in it?
- No, I don't think she could hear you.

615
00:34:02,999 --> 00:34:04,467
Well, good-bye, darling.

616
00:34:04,543 --> 00:34:06,420
Happiness and all that sort of nonsense.

617
00:34:06,503 --> 00:34:08,096
And lots of it from me too, Hil.

618
00:34:08,171 --> 00:34:09,844
If I were just ten years younger, I'd--

619
00:34:09,923 --> 00:34:12,676
Yeah, you'd still be married to me.
Now come on, Dink.

620
00:34:12,759 --> 00:34:14,227
- I'll see you tomorrow, Hilda.
- Bye.

621
00:34:14,302 --> 00:34:15,554
Bye-bye, Nell.

622
00:34:22,894 --> 00:34:24,111
Wait for me.

623
00:35:08,315 --> 00:35:09,783
Miss Crane?

624
00:35:12,986 --> 00:35:15,409
Hello, Mrs. Burns.
I didn't know you were still here.

625
00:35:15,488 --> 00:35:17,866
I came back
to have a little talk with you.

626
00:35:17,949 --> 00:35:21,249
I got a right, ain't I,
to talk with my future daughter-in-law?

627
00:35:21,328 --> 00:35:23,205
You know what they say.

628
00:35:23,288 --> 00:35:25,256
I ain't losing a son,
I'm gaining a daughter.

629
00:35:25,332 --> 00:35:27,676
I hope you really
believe that, Mrs. Burns.

630
00:35:27,751 --> 00:35:29,924
Come here.
Give me your hand.

631
00:35:30,378 --> 00:35:33,222
My, that's a beautiful engagement ring
Russell gave you.

632
00:35:33,298 --> 00:35:35,767
- Yes, it is.
- And that's a classy outfit you got on.

633
00:35:35,842 --> 00:35:38,015
That part of the trousseau
Russell bought you in Chicago?

634
00:35:38,094 --> 00:35:39,971
No, I'm going to save that
till after the wedding.

635
00:35:40,055 --> 00:35:42,399
I've had this suit for quite a while.

636
00:35:42,474 --> 00:35:43,817
I see.

637
00:35:43,892 --> 00:35:46,315
Some other man bought it for you.

638
00:35:47,187 --> 00:35:48,905
How long do you figure
this marriage is going to last?

639
00:35:48,980 --> 00:35:50,778
Mrs. Burns, why do you
talk to me like this?

640
00:35:50,857 --> 00:35:52,905
Stop kidding me. You know.

641
00:35:52,984 --> 00:35:54,531
You and me, we both know.

642
00:35:54,611 --> 00:35:56,409
I had you looked up, young lady.

643
00:35:56,488 --> 00:35:58,786
I know everything about you
from the day you was born.

644
00:35:58,865 --> 00:36:00,492
Call that bellyaching if you want to.

645
00:36:00,575 --> 00:36:02,293
There's nothing in my life
that I'm ashamed of.

646
00:36:02,369 --> 00:36:03,712
No?

647
00:36:03,787 --> 00:36:05,585
When you was at college,
you and two other girls

648
00:36:05,664 --> 00:36:07,666
was brought up before the dean of women
for being drunk.

649
00:36:07,749 --> 00:36:09,092
Correct me if I'm wrong.

650
00:36:09,167 --> 00:36:10,293
Drunk?

651
00:36:11,711 --> 00:36:13,008
Yes, I remember.

652
00:36:13,088 --> 00:36:14,931
Good heavens, how can you
use the word “drunk”?

653
00:36:15,006 --> 00:36:17,259
- It was an escapade.
- Escapade?

654
00:36:17,342 --> 00:36:19,310
What about your first husband,
Kenneth what's his name?

655
00:36:19,386 --> 00:36:20,808
You lived with him
before you married him.

656
00:36:20,887 --> 00:36:23,231
What's that got to do with it?
I loved him. Of course I--

657
00:36:23,306 --> 00:36:25,183
When you was 19 years old,
you got drunk.

658
00:36:25,266 --> 00:36:27,109
When you was 20,
you lived with a fella.

659
00:36:27,185 --> 00:36:29,904
I guess that's what all
the nice college girls was doing?

660
00:36:29,979 --> 00:36:32,607
No, not all of them,
but there were many like me

661
00:36:32,691 --> 00:36:34,489
here in Winona and at other colleges.

662
00:36:34,567 --> 00:36:37,195
- Sure. Loose girls.
- No, we--

663
00:36:37,278 --> 00:36:39,246
We were in search of something,
anidea.

664
00:36:39,322 --> 00:36:41,825
You see, we believed
that women could lead their lives

665
00:36:41,908 --> 00:36:43,706
with the same freedom as men do.

666
00:36:43,785 --> 00:36:45,082
We thought that--

667
00:36:46,079 --> 00:36:47,547
What's the use?

668
00:36:47,622 --> 00:36:49,374
You've told Russell all about this?

669
00:36:49,457 --> 00:36:52,301
- Definitely not! Why should I?
- You're tootin' why should you?

670
00:36:52,377 --> 00:36:54,926
Or about what happened
after your first divorce either.

671
00:36:55,004 --> 00:36:57,974
Want a few more facts?
I'll give you some more facts.

672
00:36:58,049 --> 00:36:59,642
Six months after your divorce--

673
00:36:59,718 --> 00:37:02,267
Mrs. Burns, this is a church we're in!
Don't profane it!

674
00:37:02,345 --> 00:37:05,895
I profane it? You profane it.
I didn't do these things it says here.

675
00:37:05,974 --> 00:37:07,976
Yes, I did them,
and I'm sorry.

676
00:37:08,059 --> 00:37:11,438
I wonder if you could ever
understand how sorry I am.

677
00:37:11,521 --> 00:37:14,570
But I never did anything in my life
that I didn't believe in at the time.

678
00:37:14,649 --> 00:37:16,322
You believe you're a fit woman
for my Russell to marry?

679
00:37:16,401 --> 00:37:17,778
Yes, with all my heart I believe it.

680
00:37:17,861 --> 00:37:19,909
If you had a son, would you pick
a woman like you for him?

681
00:37:19,988 --> 00:37:21,661
I'd trust him
to make his own choice.

682
00:37:21,740 --> 00:37:23,959
And how could he choose
if he didn't have the facts?

683
00:37:24,033 --> 00:37:27,412
Did you ever think of telling Russell
the truth about yourself?

684
00:37:33,126 --> 00:37:34,719
Why don't you tell him?

685
00:37:35,754 --> 00:37:37,756
Why haven't you already told him?

686
00:37:37,839 --> 00:37:40,217
- You think I was afraid?
- Possibly.

687
00:37:40,300 --> 00:37:43,270
You think I was afraid,
don't you?

688
00:37:44,471 --> 00:37:48,066
I think you want him to be happy
just as much as I do.

689
00:37:56,274 --> 00:37:57,446
Hilda!

690
00:37:58,276 --> 00:38:00,904
- Jacques, what on earth are you--
- I flew out from New York.

691
00:38:01,529 --> 00:38:02,621
Are you angry?

692
00:38:02,697 --> 00:38:04,415
Well, no, I'm not angry.

693
00:38:04,491 --> 00:38:06,960
But why, Jacques?
I don't understand.

694
00:38:07,035 --> 00:38:09,709
Well, I had a few things
to settle up at the university.

695
00:38:10,205 --> 00:38:13,300
I thought I was going
to send you a wedding present,

696
00:38:13,374 --> 00:38:15,376
but since I was here in town anyway,

697
00:38:15,460 --> 00:38:17,462
I thought I would bring it in person.

698
00:38:17,921 --> 00:38:19,173
Here.

699
00:38:19,255 --> 00:38:20,632
A copy of my book,

700
00:38:21,299 --> 00:38:23,051
suitably inscribed.

701
00:38:23,718 --> 00:38:25,641
You shouldn't have come here,
Jacques.

702
00:38:25,720 --> 00:38:28,098
I didn't know I wasn't allowed
back in Winona.

703
00:38:29,224 --> 00:38:31,067
But as long as I'm here anyhow,

704
00:38:31,726 --> 00:38:33,979
perhaps you'll invite me in.

705
00:38:34,938 --> 00:38:37,236
Well, I suppose I'll have to.

706
00:38:37,315 --> 00:38:39,909
I accept your gracious invitation.

707
00:38:41,486 --> 00:38:42,658
You needn't wait after all.

708
00:38:42,737 --> 00:38:44,865
No. Have him wait.

709
00:38:45,281 --> 00:38:47,750
- The lady says you are to wait.
- Right, sir.

710
00:38:48,451 --> 00:38:49,873
The ceremony's at 4:00.

711
00:38:49,953 --> 00:38:52,706
We should be back,
I think, by quarter to 5:00.

712
00:38:52,789 --> 00:38:55,793
I think perhaps you'd better start
serving at 5:00 at the latest.

713
00:38:55,875 --> 00:38:58,594
Hilda, your airplane tickets
for Honolulu jus--

714
00:39:00,046 --> 00:39:02,265
- Professor de Lisle.
- How are you, Mrs. Crane?

715
00:39:02,340 --> 00:39:04,058
Jacques is here on business
from New York.

716
00:39:04,133 --> 00:39:06,932
He bought me a wedding present.
Wasn't that sweet of him?

717
00:39:08,221 --> 00:39:10,394
Well, I think that will be
all then, Mr. Jensen.

718
00:39:10,473 --> 00:39:12,350
- Very well, Mrs. Crane.
- Come in, Jacques.

719
00:39:17,814 --> 00:39:20,488
Professor de Lisle,
why did you come here?

720
00:39:20,567 --> 00:39:22,615
To wish your daughter happiness.

721
00:39:22,694 --> 00:39:24,788
May I be perfectly frank?

722
00:39:24,863 --> 00:39:28,083
Hilda's happiness does not
depend upon your good wishes.

723
00:39:28,491 --> 00:39:30,118
Quite the opposite, in fact.

724
00:39:30,201 --> 00:39:32,795
Perhaps Hilda would prefer
to tell me that herself.

725
00:39:32,871 --> 00:39:35,715
But you can do
a great deal of harm at this time.

726
00:39:35,790 --> 00:39:37,212
You can upset Hilda.

727
00:39:37,792 --> 00:39:39,339
Just as a rowdy out in the street,

728
00:39:39,419 --> 00:39:42,844
if he were to throw a rock
through that window, could upset her.

729
00:39:42,922 --> 00:39:45,550
I assure you I have no rocks
up my sleeve.

730
00:39:45,633 --> 00:39:47,635
I think Jacques would like
to talk to me alone.

731
00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:49,221
- Hilda--
- Please, Mother?

732
00:39:49,804 --> 00:39:50,896
Very well.

733
00:39:51,472 --> 00:39:54,100
Don't forget Russell may be
coming at any moment.

734
00:39:59,355 --> 00:40:00,948
Make it short, will you, Jacques?

735
00:40:01,024 --> 00:40:03,743
Hilda. My poor Hilda.

736
00:40:03,818 --> 00:40:06,287
I don't need your sympathy.
I'm perfectly happy.

737
00:40:06,362 --> 00:40:08,535
You always pretended so beautifully.

738
00:40:08,615 --> 00:40:10,709
Just a game. Strictly a game.

739
00:40:11,910 --> 00:40:14,629
But, my darling,
this marriage isn't a game.

740
00:40:15,288 --> 00:40:17,837
You can't pretend
for the rest of your life.

741
00:40:18,249 --> 00:40:19,341
Good-bye, Jacques.

742
00:40:19,417 --> 00:40:21,761
Do you really think
you'll fool anyone?

743
00:40:22,295 --> 00:40:25,048
Him? That mother of his?

744
00:40:25,673 --> 00:40:28,517
Your so-respectable neighbors
here in Winona?

745
00:40:29,969 --> 00:40:31,437
Even yourself?

746
00:40:32,305 --> 00:40:35,559
Hilda, you can't marry this...

747
00:40:36,559 --> 00:40:39,779
You can't live with him
and that grotesque old female.

748
00:40:39,854 --> 00:40:43,028
How indecent you are.
Just plain rotten.

749
00:40:43,107 --> 00:40:44,950
You don't really believe that.

750
00:40:46,444 --> 00:40:47,741
You love me.

751
00:40:48,655 --> 00:40:53,081
I was the only thing in your entire life
you remembered with tenderness.

752
00:40:54,827 --> 00:40:57,000
If I hadn't been such a fool,

753
00:40:57,080 --> 00:41:00,004
if I had taken you
when I had the chance...

754
00:41:01,668 --> 00:41:04,547
We belong together, my darling,
because we are alike.

755
00:41:04,629 --> 00:41:06,723
- Let me go, Jacques.
- You would've married me if I'd asked you.

756
00:41:06,798 --> 00:41:09,096
- It's too late now.
- And I would have married you, too,

757
00:41:09,175 --> 00:41:11,223
if only you'd have given me
a little time, as I begged you.

758
00:41:11,302 --> 00:41:13,976
I tell you it's too late!
Why did you come here?

759
00:41:14,055 --> 00:41:16,353
To put an end to this nonsense.

760
00:41:17,684 --> 00:41:19,686
To ask you to marry me now.

761
00:41:20,728 --> 00:41:22,605
We can elope tonight.

762
00:41:22,689 --> 00:41:25,317
I despise you for saying that now.

763
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:27,198
I loathe you and despise you!

764
00:41:27,276 --> 00:41:29,370
Don't run away.
You can't run away from yourself.

765
00:41:29,445 --> 00:41:32,449
I despise you! Can't I make it
any plainer than that?

766
00:41:32,532 --> 00:41:33,909
- Hilda!
- Get out!

767
00:41:33,992 --> 00:41:36,245
I said get out,
and don't ever come back!

768
00:41:38,079 --> 00:41:39,422
Very well.

769
00:41:40,456 --> 00:41:43,209
I wish you lots of unhappiness.

770
00:41:44,085 --> 00:41:46,258
But I'm sure you'll have it anyway.

771
00:41:53,553 --> 00:41:54,770
H58 gone?

772
00:41:55,805 --> 00:41:57,227
For good, I hope.

773
00:41:57,306 --> 00:41:58,603
Yes, for good.

774
00:41:59,058 --> 00:42:00,401
Hilda, I'm so proud of you.

775
00:42:00,476 --> 00:42:02,570
I wanted to go with him, Mother.

776
00:42:02,645 --> 00:42:05,615
I wanted to run after him
and beg his forgiveness.

777
00:42:05,690 --> 00:42:06,987
Hilda.

778
00:42:07,984 --> 00:42:11,454
Tell Russell, please, Mother, that
I can't go through with this marriage.

779
00:42:11,529 --> 00:42:13,202
I can't take advantage of him.

780
00:42:14,282 --> 00:42:16,455
He doesn't know what I'm really like.

781
00:42:16,868 --> 00:42:18,711
I'm afraid of myself.

782
00:42:19,245 --> 00:42:21,543
I'm afraid of what I might do to him.

783
00:43:11,547 --> 00:43:12,639
Russell.

784
00:43:14,342 --> 00:43:15,685
You shouldn't have come here.

785
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:17,307
She won't see you.

786
00:43:17,386 --> 00:43:19,184
It's just as I told you on the phone.

787
00:43:19,263 --> 00:43:21,311
She's upstairs writing you a letter.

788
00:43:21,808 --> 00:43:23,810
What do think I should do, Stella?

789
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:26,983
Go home and let me try
to talk some sense into her.

790
00:43:27,563 --> 00:43:29,816
I think that's my responsibility now.

791
00:43:29,899 --> 00:43:32,948
To talk sense into my girl and vice versa.

792
00:43:33,820 --> 00:43:35,993
I could kill that man for coming here.

793
00:43:36,072 --> 00:43:37,949
It wasn't only de Lisle.

794
00:43:38,032 --> 00:43:39,830
There was something else
you don't know about,

795
00:43:39,909 --> 00:43:43,038
something that happened at the church
after the rehearsal.

796
00:43:43,788 --> 00:43:45,085
Excuse me, Stella.

797
00:43:56,467 --> 00:43:58,845
I'm sorry to barge in
on you like this, but--

798
00:43:58,928 --> 00:44:02,398
if you don't feel like talking,
just give me the letter and I'll go.

799
00:44:04,642 --> 00:44:06,064
It's finished.

800
00:44:06,853 --> 00:44:10,574
It began with a letter.
It... might as well end with one.

801
00:44:20,533 --> 00:44:23,332
- Don't, Russell
- I want you to take a short ride with me, Hilda.

802
00:44:23,411 --> 00:44:24,628
Just a little way from here.

803
00:44:24,704 --> 00:44:28,629
Then you can say good night or good-bye
or whatever you want to say.

804
00:44:29,125 --> 00:44:30,377
Come on.

805
00:44:30,459 --> 00:44:32,211
- I'd rather not.
- Please, Hilda.

806
00:44:36,632 --> 00:44:38,680
All right, Russell.

807
00:44:38,759 --> 00:44:40,181
Come on.

808
00:45:14,629 --> 00:45:16,051
Come on inside.

809
00:45:26,641 --> 00:45:30,521
You know, I'm real proud of this house.
It may not be much for style.

810
00:45:30,603 --> 00:45:34,358
It's sort of a modern colonial,
but it's-- it's built to last.

811
00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:38,536
Like in the old days when a man expected
to hand his house down to his son,

812
00:45:38,611 --> 00:45:40,363
and he, in turn, to his son.

813
00:45:41,155 --> 00:45:43,078
Come on, let's go upstairs.

814
00:45:45,618 --> 00:45:47,120
This staircase is just temporary.

815
00:45:47,203 --> 00:45:49,376
When it's finished,
it'll be real Georgian.

816
00:45:49,455 --> 00:45:51,503
That is, real Georgian copy.

817
00:45:52,959 --> 00:45:55,303
Watch that step.
The first one's a long one.

818
00:45:56,837 --> 00:45:58,430
This--

819
00:45:58,506 --> 00:46:00,508
This is the master bedroom
over here.

820
00:46:02,260 --> 00:46:04,934
It, doesn't look like much yet,
does it?

821
00:46:05,763 --> 00:46:07,185
Come on.

822
00:46:07,265 --> 00:46:08,687
Watch your head.

823
00:46:09,976 --> 00:46:13,822
This is the growling room,
just in case of a fight.

824
00:46:13,896 --> 00:46:15,819
It can be made
into a guest room too.

825
00:46:15,898 --> 00:46:17,741
Extra bath is over there.

826
00:46:22,405 --> 00:46:24,248
And this is the nursery.

827
00:46:26,951 --> 00:46:31,172
It's, being built so that it can be
expanded out over the kitchen wing,

828
00:46:31,247 --> 00:46:32,920
just in case...

829
00:46:36,294 --> 00:46:38,137
- You hurt yourself?
- No.

830
00:46:39,714 --> 00:46:41,716
You've got to be careful
around here.

831
00:46:45,636 --> 00:46:49,641
I-- I was hoping it'd be finished
by the time we got back from Honolulu.

832
00:46:49,724 --> 00:46:52,227
But anything in the building line
these days

833
00:46:52,310 --> 00:46:54,483
takes three times as long
as you expect.

834
00:46:54,562 --> 00:46:57,691
So I thought
I'd show it to you now.

835
00:46:58,274 --> 00:47:01,744
Anyway, you should be in on
the decorating and furnishing.

836
00:47:01,819 --> 00:47:04,493
Not that I couldn't do
a pretty good job myself.

837
00:47:04,572 --> 00:47:06,950
You see, I've made
a study of your tastes.

838
00:47:07,033 --> 00:47:09,661
For instance,
you like, Georgian,

839
00:47:09,744 --> 00:47:11,997
Mozart, New York Giants,

840
00:47:12,079 --> 00:47:14,127
and peppermint-stick ice cream.

841
00:47:14,206 --> 00:47:16,925
I know all about you, Hilda Crane.

842
00:47:17,001 --> 00:47:18,423
No, you don't. You--

843
00:47:18,502 --> 00:47:21,301
You tore up the letter
that would have told you everything.

844
00:47:21,380 --> 00:47:23,724
- Nothing I don't already know.
- You know so little.

845
00:47:23,799 --> 00:47:27,269
You don't even know why
I came back to Winona, do you?

846
00:47:27,345 --> 00:47:30,098
No. No, not exactly,
but it's not important.

847
00:47:30,181 --> 00:47:32,229
Well, ask your mother.
She thinks it's important.

848
00:47:32,308 --> 00:47:35,107
She has it all neatly typed,
my entire history.

849
00:47:35,186 --> 00:47:37,655
She showed it to me
after the wedding rehearsal.

850
00:47:37,730 --> 00:47:40,028
She showed it to me
before the rehearsal.

851
00:47:41,609 --> 00:47:43,532
What? Then you knew?

852
00:47:43,611 --> 00:47:46,034
Don't you see?
She was bluffing.

853
00:47:46,113 --> 00:47:49,413
She only went to you because
she didn't get anywhere with me.

854
00:47:49,492 --> 00:47:51,711
I told her off.

855
00:47:51,786 --> 00:47:53,959
I guess I was
pretty rough with her.

856
00:47:54,038 --> 00:47:57,167
I, never treated her
like that before.

857
00:47:57,249 --> 00:47:59,001
We've always been very close.

858
00:48:00,044 --> 00:48:02,138
You see, when I was a kid,
we had it pretty tough.

859
00:48:02,213 --> 00:48:06,093
But Mother kept us going
until I was old enough to help.

860
00:48:06,175 --> 00:48:09,224
That's why <i>I'll</i> never let her down,
no matter how badly she behaves.

861
00:48:10,471 --> 00:48:13,850
But this is gonna be our life--
yours and mine,

862
00:48:13,933 --> 00:48:16,152
and nobody's
gonna come between us.

863
00:48:16,227 --> 00:48:17,774
Nobody.

864
00:48:17,853 --> 00:48:21,153
And the-- the past,
it just never happened.

865
00:48:21,941 --> 00:48:24,785
Do you understand?
ltneverhappened.

866
00:48:26,362 --> 00:48:27,659
Russell.

867
00:48:52,805 --> 00:48:54,432
Mr. Small, you're early.

868
00:48:54,515 --> 00:48:56,768
Well, you can't be too early
when you're drivin' the bride.

869
00:48:56,851 --> 00:48:59,400
- Tell 'em I'm here, honey.
- Don't you “honey” me.

870
00:48:59,478 --> 00:49:01,572
- They'll be out when they're ready.
- All right.

871
00:49:03,816 --> 00:49:06,535
- Mrs. Crane, the car is here.
- Thank you, Clara.

872
00:49:06,610 --> 00:49:07,953
Will you keep
the plane tickets, Mother?

873
00:49:08,028 --> 00:49:10,122
Yes. <i>I'll</i> give them to Mr. Small.
That'll be the safest.

874
00:49:10,197 --> 00:49:12,370
He'll be driving you to the airport
after the reception.

875
00:49:12,450 --> 00:49:14,202
I've got your bouquet,
Miss Hilda.

876
00:49:14,285 --> 00:49:15,753
I've had it in the refrigerator.

877
00:49:15,828 --> 00:49:17,375
Thank you, Clara.

878
00:49:17,455 --> 00:49:18,877
My, you look lovely.

879
00:49:18,956 --> 00:49:22,085
- A real starry-eyed bride.
- I feel sort of starry-eyed.

880
00:49:22,168 --> 00:49:24,387
I want to talk to you
and your daughter.

881
00:49:27,756 --> 00:49:29,633
Mrs. Burns, shouldn't you
be at the church?

882
00:49:29,717 --> 00:49:31,390
I got a little business proposition
for you.

883
00:49:31,469 --> 00:49:35,519
- Well, can't it wait until after the ceremony?
- No, it can't.

884
00:49:35,598 --> 00:49:38,818
There's $50,000 worth of government bonds
in this envelope.

885
00:49:38,893 --> 00:49:42,739
They're all yours if you'll just
get out of this town right now.

886
00:49:42,813 --> 00:49:44,360
Do you realize
what you're suggesting?

887
00:49:44,440 --> 00:49:47,944
Listen. I got a big interest in the new
Burns Building. <i>I'll</i> sign it over to you.

888
00:49:48,027 --> 00:49:51,406
<i>I'll</i> get a lawyer, and <i>I'll</i> find out a way
so Russell will never know.

889
00:49:51,489 --> 00:49:54,038
Mrs. Burns, we're all going to pretend
that you've never spoken.

890
00:49:54,116 --> 00:49:56,585
Damn you.
I'll give you my jewelry too.

891
00:49:56,660 --> 00:49:58,333
It's worth more than 50,000.

892
00:49:58,412 --> 00:50:02,167
Just step out into my car
and drive away and never come back!

893
00:50:02,249 --> 00:50:03,922
- Mrs. Burns!
- The answer is no.

894
00:50:04,001 --> 00:50:07,346
Don't you play innocent on me.
I know what you are.

895
00:50:07,421 --> 00:50:10,140
And you know what she is too.
You dirty tramp!

896
00:50:10,216 --> 00:50:12,890
- How dare you! How dare you!
- Don't, Mother.

897
00:50:12,968 --> 00:50:15,562
I was expecting this.

898
00:50:15,638 --> 00:50:18,858
You have exactly five minutes
to get to the church before we do.

899
00:50:18,933 --> 00:50:21,937
You'd better start now.
Russell will be expecting you.

900
00:50:22,019 --> 00:50:25,068
My-- My heart's choking me.

901
00:50:25,147 --> 00:50:27,115
I'm dizzy, all dizzy.

902
00:50:27,191 --> 00:50:29,569
- Mrs. Burns.
- Don't bother, Mother.

903
00:50:29,652 --> 00:50:31,279
I'm sick, I tell you.

904
00:50:31,362 --> 00:50:34,741
I ain't faking. I am sick.
I can't move.

905
00:50:34,823 --> 00:50:36,621
There's nothing wrong
with you, Mrs. Burns.

906
00:50:36,700 --> 00:50:38,953
- I can't breathe.
- You'd better start breathing.

907
00:50:39,036 --> 00:50:41,915
This marriage is going through
on schedule.

908
00:50:41,997 --> 00:50:45,342
I'll forbid the banns!
That's what I'll do!

909
00:50:45,417 --> 00:50:47,920
- I'll get up in church and--
- Shut up!

910
00:50:49,213 --> 00:50:52,888
<i>I'll</i> kill you for that
just as sure as you're sittin' there.

911
00:50:52,967 --> 00:50:55,561
<i>- I'll</i> kill you for that!
- Let go of my flowers!

912
00:50:55,636 --> 00:50:57,183
Let go! Let go!

913
00:50:59,974 --> 00:51:01,726
Is it all right?

914
00:51:01,809 --> 00:51:03,231
Yes, it'll do.

915
00:51:04,895 --> 00:51:06,897
Mrs. Burns,
I'll get you some water.

916
00:51:09,984 --> 00:51:11,577
Now listen to me,
Mrs. Burns.

917
00:51:11,652 --> 00:51:14,531
You'll never,
never stop this wedding.

918
00:51:14,613 --> 00:51:18,493
I've been awake all night, thinking of
every possible trick you might play.

919
00:51:18,576 --> 00:51:22,331
Now listen carefully, because my mother and I
are leaving in exactly two minutes.

920
00:51:22,413 --> 00:51:25,007
If you're not at the church,
the ceremony will go on anyway.

921
00:51:25,082 --> 00:51:27,710
But if you're still in this house
when we get back,

922
00:51:27,793 --> 00:51:29,716
if you're found dead on this spot,

923
00:51:29,795 --> 00:51:33,299
let me tell you exactly
what your dying words were.

924
00:51:33,382 --> 00:51:37,353
You said, “Tell Russell
I saw the light at the last minute.

925
00:51:37,428 --> 00:51:40,807
I've got no grudge
against that fine girl.

926
00:51:40,889 --> 00:51:43,108
I wish them both happiness.”

927
00:51:43,183 --> 00:51:44,685
And if you should die
in Russell's presence,

928
00:51:44,768 --> 00:51:46,862
you'd better use the words
I've just given you.

929
00:51:46,937 --> 00:51:49,941
I hope for your sake
that you can remember them.

930
00:51:50,024 --> 00:51:51,571
I'm dyin'.

931
00:51:52,443 --> 00:51:54,787
<i>L</i> am dyin'.

932
00:51:54,862 --> 00:51:57,206
You're not gonna die,
Mrs. Burns.

933
00:51:57,281 --> 00:51:58,783
I was just playing
a little game with you

934
00:51:58,866 --> 00:52:02,086
in case it occurred to you
to die out of spite.

935
00:52:02,161 --> 00:52:05,005
But you're not going to die.
You're much too selfish.

936
00:52:05,539 --> 00:52:08,133
If I were the first woman that you'd
tried to liquidate in Russell's life,

937
00:52:08,208 --> 00:52:09,960
you might have had a chance.

938
00:52:10,044 --> 00:52:11,842
But this is an old game
of yours,

939
00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:14,924
and today is just
one time too many.

940
00:52:15,007 --> 00:52:17,510
So pull yourself together
like a brave little soldier,

941
00:52:17,593 --> 00:52:19,687
attend this wedding,
and smile.

942
00:52:23,474 --> 00:52:25,351
Let's go, Mother.

943
00:52:29,146 --> 00:52:32,241
- Clara, take care of Mrs. Burns.
- Yes, Mrs. Crane.

944
00:52:36,779 --> 00:52:39,623
Mother, what am I turning into?
What am I becoming?

945
00:52:46,705 --> 00:52:49,379
Here they come!

946
00:52:49,458 --> 00:52:52,302
- Well, Mrs. Burns, are you happy?
- Terribly happy.

947
00:52:55,589 --> 00:52:58,012
I wonder where Mother is.
I didn't see her as we came down the aisle.

948
00:52:58,092 --> 00:53:00,186
She should be here
somewhere.

949
00:53:00,260 --> 00:53:02,183
Dr. Francis!
ls Dr. Francis here?

950
00:53:02,262 --> 00:53:04,981
What's going on?
What happened?

951
00:53:14,233 --> 00:53:15,860
I don't know.

952
00:53:24,201 --> 00:53:28,001
I'm terribly sorry.
The wedding reception has been called off.

953
00:53:28,080 --> 00:53:30,424
Mrs. Burns has been taken ill.

954
00:53:30,499 --> 00:53:32,467
I'm terribly sorry.
Would you please spread the word?

955
00:53:32,543 --> 00:53:35,638
The reception is called off.

956
00:54:04,408 --> 00:54:07,708
- ls there any word yet?
- No. Russell's in there with Dr. Joe.

957
00:54:09,037 --> 00:54:11,415
I canceled your plane reservations
for tonight,

958
00:54:11,498 --> 00:54:12,875
and I'll wire the Moana
in the morning.

959
00:54:12,958 --> 00:54:14,505
- Yes, Mother.
- Hilda--

960
00:54:14,585 --> 00:54:16,087
Please don't, Mother.
There's nothing you could say

961
00:54:16,170 --> 00:54:19,219
that would make me like myself
any better right now.

962
00:54:26,764 --> 00:54:28,016
Russell.

963
00:54:28,098 --> 00:54:29,850
Take him home, Hilda.

964
00:54:29,933 --> 00:54:31,935
There was nothing
anyone could do.

965
00:54:32,019 --> 00:54:33,692
You'd better get some rest,
both of you.

966
00:54:33,771 --> 00:54:35,398
Yes, Dr. Joe.

967
00:55:51,515 --> 00:55:53,188
NELLI Hi, Hilda.

968
00:55:53,267 --> 00:55:54,439
Hello, Nell.

969
00:55:54,518 --> 00:55:56,646
The girl said you'd be right back,
so I took a chance and waited.

970
00:55:56,728 --> 00:55:59,356
I'm glad you did.
Come on in.

971
00:56:01,692 --> 00:56:04,866
- Would you like a drink?
- But just a short one. I can only stay a minute.

972
00:56:04,945 --> 00:56:07,198
Scotch on the rocks
if you have it, please.

973
00:56:08,991 --> 00:56:10,743
You know,
you look tired, Hilda.

974
00:56:10,826 --> 00:56:12,920
When are you and Russell
going on that wedding trip?

975
00:56:12,995 --> 00:56:15,965
It's a little late for wedding trips,
don't you think, after five months?

976
00:56:16,039 --> 00:56:17,586
You ought to get away,
both of you.

977
00:56:17,666 --> 00:56:20,340
- Out of this house.
- Well, we couldn't at first.

978
00:56:20,419 --> 00:56:22,672
The funeral and all the arrangements
and so forth,

979
00:56:22,754 --> 00:56:24,552
and Russell's been busy.

980
00:56:24,631 --> 00:56:25,974
You know.

981
00:56:26,884 --> 00:56:29,854
We haven't been seeing enough
of each other lately, Nell. Tell me what's new.

982
00:56:29,928 --> 00:56:33,023
Well, I suppose you know
who's back in town.

983
00:56:33,098 --> 00:56:34,850
Yes, I saw it in the paper.

984
00:56:34,933 --> 00:56:36,685
He's lecturing at our club
tomorrow afternoon.

985
00:56:36,768 --> 00:56:38,987
- You want to come with me?
- No.

986
00:56:39,062 --> 00:56:41,190
You know, Jacques always
did give a good lecture.

987
00:56:41,273 --> 00:56:44,527
And now that he's a celebrity,
I understand he's really something.

988
00:56:44,610 --> 00:56:47,363
How he does thrive
on that public attention.

989
00:56:47,446 --> 00:56:49,540
Why don't you come with me?
Just for laughs.

990
00:56:49,615 --> 00:56:52,243
I can't, Nell. Russell and I
have an engagement.

991
00:56:52,326 --> 00:56:55,705
Well, I thought I'd give it a try.
You were always so fond of him.

992
00:56:56,788 --> 00:56:59,166
Goodness.
I'd better be running. I--

993
00:57:01,835 --> 00:57:03,633
Hilda, do you mind
if I say something?

994
00:57:03,712 --> 00:57:07,216
You and Russell shouldn't go on living in this--
this chamber of horrors.

995
00:57:07,299 --> 00:57:09,597
Why didn't he finish
the new house anyway?

996
00:57:09,676 --> 00:57:11,929
It didn't make sense
after Mrs. Burns died

997
00:57:12,012 --> 00:57:15,687
to build and furnish a new place
when we already had this one.

998
00:57:15,766 --> 00:57:18,986
This is a perfectly good house.
There's no reason to move out of it.

999
00:57:19,061 --> 00:57:23,487
And a perfectly good reason,
from Russell's point of view, for staying in it.

1000
00:57:23,565 --> 00:57:24,657
What do you mean?

1001
00:57:24,733 --> 00:57:27,577
Russell was horrid to Mama.
Mama died.

1002
00:57:27,653 --> 00:57:30,452
Now Russell's going to be a good boy again
and stay right here,

1003
00:57:30,530 --> 00:57:32,453
where Mama can keep
an eye on him.

1004
00:57:32,532 --> 00:57:36,662
Ew. What an eye.
Like a stuffed crocodile.

1005
00:57:36,745 --> 00:57:39,248
Would you be good enough
to mind your own business?

1006
00:57:41,500 --> 00:57:42,592
Sure.

1007
00:57:44,586 --> 00:57:47,635
I'm always shooting off
my big mouth.

1008
00:57:47,714 --> 00:57:49,716
Big-mouth Nell, they call me.

1009
00:57:49,800 --> 00:57:51,268
I'm sorry, Hilda.

1010
00:57:51,343 --> 00:57:52,720
I'm sorry too.

1011
00:57:52,803 --> 00:57:54,305
I didn't mean to snap at you.

1012
00:57:54,388 --> 00:57:56,265
Forget it.
I'll be seeing you.

1013
00:57:59,977 --> 00:58:02,400
- How are you, Mrs. Crane?
- Fine, thank you. How are you?

1014
00:58:02,479 --> 00:58:03,731
Fine, thank you.

1015
00:58:03,814 --> 00:58:05,487
- Hello, Hilda.
- Hello, Mother.

1016
00:58:12,531 --> 00:58:15,125
- I wish you wouldn't do that.
- Do what?

1017
00:58:15,200 --> 00:58:17,453
You know what I mean--
drink so much.

1018
00:58:17,536 --> 00:58:20,506
- Russell might think--
- On the contrary. Russell loves it.

1019
00:58:20,580 --> 00:58:22,582
He likes his wife to be
bright and vivacious

1020
00:58:22,666 --> 00:58:25,294
when he comes home
from a hard day's work.

1021
00:58:26,294 --> 00:58:27,716
Sit down, Mother.

1022
00:58:28,755 --> 00:58:32,259
Shall we have one of our
little intimate chats?

1023
00:58:32,342 --> 00:58:34,595
You've been increasingly hostile
to me lately, Hilda.

1024
00:58:34,678 --> 00:58:36,180
I don't know why.

1025
00:58:36,263 --> 00:58:39,392
Hostile?
Well, I'm inviting you to stay.

1026
00:58:39,474 --> 00:58:41,727
We can have a nice,
cozy little time, can't we?

1027
00:58:41,810 --> 00:58:44,154
- The three of us.
- The three of us?

1028
00:58:46,023 --> 00:58:47,821
That's what's bothering you.

1029
00:58:49,359 --> 00:58:52,613
- Doesn't it bother you?
- No, not for a moment.

1030
00:58:52,696 --> 00:58:55,996
I can face my maker with a clear conscience,
and so can you.

1031
00:58:56,074 --> 00:58:58,577
We didn't know
that she had a bad heart.

1032
00:58:58,660 --> 00:59:00,003
Nor did her doctor.

1033
00:59:00,078 --> 00:59:01,500
Not even Russell.

1034
00:59:01,580 --> 00:59:03,298
We all thought
that she was faking,

1035
00:59:03,373 --> 00:59:06,377
and she was faking
until it turned into the real thing.

1036
00:59:06,460 --> 00:59:08,713
And she brought it on herself.

1037
00:59:08,795 --> 00:59:11,469
I wish you'd take the picture
out of the room.

1038
00:59:11,548 --> 00:59:14,893
I don't want to spoil
her moment of triumph.

1039
00:59:14,968 --> 00:59:16,686
She couldn't get
what she wanted alive.

1040
00:59:16,762 --> 00:59:19,390
But she sure enough got it dead.
You have to hand it to her.

1041
00:59:19,473 --> 00:59:22,147
Don't, Hilda. You make yourself
sound coarse and cheap.

1042
00:59:22,225 --> 00:59:25,650
Well, I'm glad we agree on something.
I feel coarse and cheap.

1043
00:59:25,729 --> 00:59:28,528
How long do you think I can keep on
pretending and pretending?

1044
00:59:28,607 --> 00:59:31,907
- Pretending what?
- That this marriage is anything but a disaster.

1045
00:59:31,985 --> 00:59:34,408
I don't know
what makes you talk like that.

1046
00:59:35,363 --> 00:59:36,785
Don't you, Mother?

1047
00:59:38,909 --> 00:59:41,287
Have you ever read
Edna St. Vincent Millay?

1048
00:59:41,369 --> 00:59:43,246
She's not very fashionable
right now,

1049
00:59:43,330 --> 00:59:46,334
but I've always liked that poem
that ended like this.

1050
00:59:46,416 --> 00:59:49,340
“With him for a sire
and her for a dam,

1051
00:59:49,419 --> 00:59:52,514
what should I be
but just what I am?”

1052
00:59:52,589 --> 00:59:54,762
it's too lyrical
and perhaps a trifle quaint,

1053
00:59:54,841 --> 00:59:57,139
but I like it.

1054
00:59:57,219 --> 00:59:59,893
I never approved of children
criticizing their parents.

1055
00:59:59,971 --> 01:00:01,769
You've never approved
of a lot of things,

1056
01:00:01,848 --> 01:00:03,521
but they've happened anyway.

1057
01:00:03,600 --> 01:00:05,477
This is a very unhappy moment
for me, Hilda.

1058
01:00:06,061 --> 01:00:08,280
- Foryou?
- You're all I have in the world.

1059
01:00:08,355 --> 01:00:09,527
Since when, Mother?

1060
01:00:09,606 --> 01:00:12,075
- That's an unwarranted question.
- Is it?

1061
01:00:12,150 --> 01:00:15,575
You're my only child, and in all the years
since I lost your father, I--

1062
01:00:15,654 --> 01:00:16,906
Mother.

1063
01:00:16,988 --> 01:00:20,583
I've never been anything
but a worry and a bother to you.

1064
01:00:20,659 --> 01:00:24,459
You've always resented me because you
couldn't make me over into what you are,

1065
01:00:24,538 --> 01:00:27,758
because I wanted more out of life
than just appearances.

1066
01:00:28,458 --> 01:00:30,881
I couldn't learn to act
and think and talk like you,

1067
01:00:30,961 --> 01:00:32,634
so you've resented me.

1068
01:00:34,381 --> 01:00:37,305
You've never really loved me,
have you, Mother?

1069
01:00:38,051 --> 01:00:40,349
That's a lie. it's a cruel lie.

1070
01:00:40,428 --> 01:00:43,978
No, it's the truth, which can hurt
more than a lie, I grant you.

1071
01:00:48,395 --> 01:00:50,443
You're not leaving, are you?

1072
01:00:51,314 --> 01:00:52,531
Yes.

1073
01:00:53,233 --> 01:00:54,655
I've heard enough.

1074
01:00:54,734 --> 01:00:56,953
Come back someday,
won't you, Mother?

1075
01:00:59,823 --> 01:01:01,996
- Good afternoon, Mrs. Crane.
- Good afternoon.

1076
01:01:02,909 --> 01:01:04,252
Mrs. Burns.

1077
01:01:05,912 --> 01:01:08,711
Mrs. Burns.

1078
01:01:10,292 --> 01:01:11,509
Aaughs)

1079
01:01:12,961 --> 01:01:17,011
That's me, isn't it? I-- I keep forgetting
that I'm Mrs. Burns now.

1080
01:01:17,090 --> 01:01:19,388
There's a Mr. de Lisle
on the phone.

1081
01:01:23,471 --> 01:01:27,942
- Tell Mr. de Lisle
that I said I'm not at home.

1082
01:01:28,018 --> 01:01:30,020
Be sure and put it
just like that.

1083
01:01:30,103 --> 01:01:32,322
- I said I'm not at home.
- Yes, ma'am.

1084
01:01:32,397 --> 01:01:35,617
He'll get the point.
He's very quick, is Professor de Lisle.

1085
01:01:35,692 --> 01:01:37,319
Very well, ma'am.

1086
01:02:14,689 --> 01:02:17,613
- Hilda, is anything wrong?
- No, not a thing.

1087
01:02:18,068 --> 01:02:19,570
What were you doing
lying here in the dark?

1088
01:02:19,653 --> 01:02:21,906
I was just resting.

1089
01:02:21,988 --> 01:02:25,083
- Is it time for dinner yet?
- Almost.

1090
01:02:25,158 --> 01:02:27,957
- Would you like a drink?
- No, not for me.

1091
01:02:29,204 --> 01:02:31,548
I'm, flying up to Denver
after dinner.

1092
01:02:31,623 --> 01:02:33,250
I should be back tomorrow night.

1093
01:02:33,959 --> 01:02:36,712
Will you take me
with you, Russell?

1094
01:02:36,795 --> 01:02:40,299
I'd like to, but Gus Nordlinger and I
are going up on business.

1095
01:02:40,382 --> 01:02:42,726
- We'll be on the run all day.
- I see.

1096
01:02:43,551 --> 01:02:47,021
I fell asleep just now,
and I had a wonderful dream.

1097
01:02:47,597 --> 01:02:50,646
Your mother didn't die after all,

1098
01:02:50,725 --> 01:02:53,399
and you and I went to Honolulu
on our honeymoon.

1099
01:02:53,478 --> 01:02:55,025
And when it was over,
we didn't come back.

1100
01:02:55,105 --> 01:02:58,985
We just got on a boat
and went on round the world.

1101
01:02:59,067 --> 01:03:02,913
We visited all those lovely places
with names like magic.

1102
01:03:03,613 --> 01:03:05,832
Fiji and Tahiti,

1103
01:03:05,907 --> 01:03:07,250
Hong Kong,

1104
01:03:07,325 --> 01:03:09,327
Bangkok, Bali,

1105
01:03:09,411 --> 01:03:11,459
and the Spice Islands.

1106
01:03:11,955 --> 01:03:15,255
It was all dazzling blue water
and coral sands

1107
01:03:15,333 --> 01:03:17,711
and palm trees in the wind,

1108
01:03:17,794 --> 01:03:20,297
and the birds of paradise
were singing.

1109
01:03:21,756 --> 01:03:25,010
Do birds of paradise sing, Russell,
do you happen to know?

1110
01:03:25,593 --> 01:03:29,063
- I don't know.
- No, I guess they just squawk.

1111
01:03:32,934 --> 01:03:35,028
Say, someone broke a glass.

1112
01:03:36,521 --> 01:03:37,738
I did.

1113
01:03:40,483 --> 01:03:42,861
Bad Hilda, always breaking things.

1114
01:03:42,944 --> 01:03:44,617
Such a trial to your poor, dear mother.

1115
01:03:44,696 --> 01:03:46,698
I hope she's not cross with me.

1116
01:03:46,781 --> 01:03:48,783
I don't think that's very funny, Hilda.

1117
01:03:48,867 --> 01:03:52,246
Don't you? I think it's hilarious.

1118
01:03:52,954 --> 01:03:56,128
I think the whole thing is hilarious.
Don't you agree, Russell?

1119
01:03:56,207 --> 01:03:58,801
- What's the matter with you tonight?
- I'm a little tight. That's all.

1120
01:03:58,877 --> 01:04:02,472
Mrs. Russell Burns is just
a teeny, weeny bit intoxicated.

1121
01:04:02,547 --> 01:04:04,015
If you're gonna be ashamed
of your wife,

1122
01:04:04,090 --> 01:04:05,967
you might as well have a good reason
to be good and ashamed.

1123
01:04:06,051 --> 01:04:07,769
I'm not ashamed of you.

1124
01:04:08,511 --> 01:04:10,184
No?

1125
01:04:10,263 --> 01:04:12,982
You only think
I killed your mother.

1126
01:04:13,058 --> 01:04:16,062
I've never said anything like that to you
or even thought it.

1127
01:04:16,144 --> 01:04:18,567
Then why did you leave me
on our wedding night?

1128
01:04:18,646 --> 01:04:21,775
Why have you always refused
to discuss this subject with me?

1129
01:04:21,858 --> 01:04:23,860
Why have you let this wall
grow up between us,

1130
01:04:23,943 --> 01:04:26,537
this wall of guilt and suspicion,
so that now my own husband--

1131
01:04:26,613 --> 01:04:30,493
Hilda, I'll discuss it with you sometime
when you're more-- more yourself.

1132
01:04:30,575 --> 01:04:33,829
I'll never be more myself
than I am right now.

1133
01:04:34,662 --> 01:04:37,791
Russell, I'm your wife.
I'm alive. She's dead.

1134
01:04:37,874 --> 01:04:40,127
- Can't you forget her?
- No, I can't!

1135
01:04:42,170 --> 01:04:44,138
Not after what I did to her.

1136
01:04:44,214 --> 01:04:46,763
After what you did to her?

1137
01:04:46,841 --> 01:04:49,014
Now I get it.

1138
01:04:49,094 --> 01:04:52,143
I'm not the guilty one.
You are.

1139
01:04:52,222 --> 01:04:54,816
If you'd never met me,
if you hadn't fallen in love with me,

1140
01:04:54,891 --> 01:04:58,270
if you hadn't defied your mother
by marrying me, she'd still be alive.

1141
01:04:58,353 --> 01:05:00,105
Is that what you mean?
You think--

1142
01:05:00,188 --> 01:05:02,316
Hilda, let's drop it!

1143
01:05:02,399 --> 01:05:06,404
Now I've disturbed you.
That's my trouble. I'm--

1144
01:05:06,486 --> 01:05:08,329
I'm always bothering people.

1145
01:05:08,405 --> 01:05:10,203
All my life,
I've bothered my mother.

1146
01:05:10,281 --> 01:05:13,535
Then I bothered your mother,
and now I'm bothering you.

1147
01:05:13,618 --> 01:05:15,495
- I'm sorry, Russell.
- Hilda--

1148
01:05:15,578 --> 01:05:17,421
I truly am sorry.

1149
01:05:17,497 --> 01:05:19,340
I shouldn't mix
with respectable people.

1150
01:05:19,416 --> 01:05:22,010
I should stick with my own kind.

1151
01:05:24,796 --> 01:05:28,175
Have a good time in Denver.

1152
01:05:43,273 --> 01:05:47,870
And now it is my pleasure to introduce
our distinguished guest speaker.

1153
01:05:47,944 --> 01:05:49,491
Some of you already know him.

1154
01:05:49,571 --> 01:05:52,575
Many of you have had the privilege
of studying with him.

1155
01:05:52,657 --> 01:05:56,912
Our pet celebrity--
Professor Jacques de Lisle.

1156
01:05:59,372 --> 01:06:00,589
Thank you.

1157
01:06:01,332 --> 01:06:03,334
As you see,
I am here as a salesman.

1158
01:06:05,420 --> 01:06:10,517
Ladies, first, let me say
that not one of you looks a day older.

1159
01:06:12,302 --> 01:06:13,804
DE LISLEI I live In New York.

1160
01:06:13,887 --> 01:06:15,514
I have just returned
from Hollywood.

1161
01:06:15,597 --> 01:06:18,851
In neither place
is the standard of feminine charm

1162
01:06:18,933 --> 01:06:22,528
as high as it is right here in Winona.

1163
01:06:25,732 --> 01:06:27,826
When I left here,

1164
01:06:27,901 --> 01:06:31,997
I left a big piece of my heart behind.

1165
01:06:33,031 --> 01:06:35,125
I am glad I found it again.

1166
01:06:44,542 --> 01:06:46,795
Hilda, I have to pick up Dink
at his office.

1167
01:06:46,878 --> 01:06:48,255
You two want to come along
for the ride?

1168
01:06:48,338 --> 01:06:50,591
No. I'll take Jacques home,
and you and Dink can join us there.

1169
01:06:50,673 --> 01:06:52,300
Good enough. See you later.

1170
01:06:53,176 --> 01:06:54,393
Are we riding?

1171
01:06:54,469 --> 01:06:56,471
- No, walking. it's not far.
- All right.

1172
01:06:57,305 --> 01:07:01,060
- You used to like to walk.
- I still do, in certain company.

1173
01:07:02,769 --> 01:07:05,192
I guess I owe you an apology.

1174
01:07:05,271 --> 01:07:06,614
What for?

1175
01:07:06,689 --> 01:07:09,533
Well, I was very rude, wasn't I,
the last time we met?

1176
01:07:09,609 --> 01:07:12,408
Let's say that neither of us
behaved very well.

1177
01:07:13,947 --> 01:07:15,915
Will your husband be at home?

1178
01:07:15,990 --> 01:07:18,709
Yes, later on this evening.

1179
01:07:24,249 --> 01:07:26,923
- Well, here we are.
- Quite the house.

1180
01:07:27,627 --> 01:07:30,597
It exactly expresses your personality.

1181
01:07:30,672 --> 01:07:32,515
You must be very happy here.

1182
01:07:32,590 --> 01:07:35,184
Would you like a drink now,
or shall we wait for the others?

1183
01:07:35,260 --> 01:07:36,682
I can wait.

1184
01:07:37,595 --> 01:07:39,814
- You've changed, Jacques.
- Have I?

1185
01:07:39,889 --> 01:07:41,732
Yes. You're more sure of yourself.

1186
01:07:41,808 --> 01:07:44,061
Must be success.
It's becoming to you.

1187
01:07:44,727 --> 01:07:47,196
Did I mention
that I'm engaged to be married?

1188
01:07:47,981 --> 01:07:50,530
You, engaged?

1189
01:07:50,608 --> 01:07:53,077
Aren't you going
to wish me happiness, Hilda?

1190
01:07:53,152 --> 01:07:56,656
I hope your life will be wonderful and happy,
just like Russell's and mine.

1191
01:07:56,739 --> 01:07:57,740
Thank you.

1192
01:07:58,658 --> 01:08:00,706
Tell me about her,
yourfiancée.

1193
01:08:00,785 --> 01:08:03,038
She's pretty enough

1194
01:08:03,121 --> 01:08:05,249
and extremely rich.

1195
01:08:05,873 --> 01:08:08,626
She'll never be what you
could have been, but she'll do.

1196
01:08:09,794 --> 01:08:11,341
I want you more than ever, Hilda.

1197
01:08:11,421 --> 01:08:13,640
Is she tall, short? Dark, blonde?

1198
01:08:13,715 --> 01:08:15,843
You are one woman in a million.

1199
01:08:16,384 --> 01:08:18,136
There'll never be anyone else for me.

1200
01:08:18,219 --> 01:08:20,768
I hope she knows
what it took me a long time to learn--

1201
01:08:20,847 --> 01:08:23,475
to give herself to one man
and one man only.

1202
01:08:23,558 --> 01:08:24,935
Let's get out of this house.

1203
01:08:25,018 --> 01:08:26,736
When I see these women
who think they're intelligent,

1204
01:08:26,811 --> 01:08:28,859
running around,
trying one thing after another,

1205
01:08:28,938 --> 01:08:31,032
looking for perfect happiness,

1206
01:08:31,107 --> 01:08:33,906
when the most important thing
is-is appearances.

1207
01:08:34,569 --> 01:08:37,994
Decency, respectability,
a-- a well-ordered life

1208
01:08:38,072 --> 01:08:40,325
are much more important,
and, in the end--

1209
01:08:51,753 --> 01:08:54,552
- I'll get it, Marie.
- Yes, Mrs. Burns.

1210
01:08:57,467 --> 01:08:59,265
- Come in, Nell. Hi, Dink.
- Hi.

1211
01:08:59,344 --> 01:09:01,938
Look, Hilda, something came up.
We're on our way to the country club.

1212
01:09:02,013 --> 01:09:04,562
- We just stopped by to tell you.
- You could stay and have a drink, surely.

1213
01:09:04,641 --> 01:09:06,860
- Scotch on the rocks. Am I right?
- Thanks, but can't do it.

1214
01:09:06,934 --> 01:09:08,777
You see, this guy
is a prospective customer.

1215
01:09:08,853 --> 01:09:10,446
As a matter of fact,
we're late now.

1216
01:09:10,521 --> 01:09:12,523
He invited us over for dinner
to meet his wife.

1217
01:09:12,607 --> 01:09:14,655
Well, bring him here.
I can get dinner for us all.

1218
01:09:14,734 --> 01:09:17,988
- Call him up and tell him I'm lonely, and--
- Sorry, Hil, but it can't be done.

1219
01:09:18,071 --> 01:09:20,950
Well, let him wait. You can stay
and just have one drink, can't you?

1220
01:09:21,032 --> 01:09:23,956
We'd love to, Hilda, but you see,
if Dink can put over this deal,

1221
01:09:24,035 --> 01:09:25,537
I get a new convertible.

1222
01:09:25,620 --> 01:09:27,668
Well, I'm a customer, too,
you know.

1223
01:09:27,747 --> 01:09:31,251
Russell's going to give you the new house
to sell, isn't he? The unfinished one.

1224
01:09:32,418 --> 01:09:34,466
I-- I think <i>I'll</i> stay a while.

1225
01:09:34,545 --> 01:09:36,889
You run along, Dink.
I'll take a taxi and join you.

1226
01:09:36,964 --> 01:09:39,843
Now wait a minute.
This guy and his wife expect us both.

1227
01:09:39,926 --> 01:09:42,429
- You see, business is business, Hilda.
- Beat it, Dink.

1228
01:09:42,512 --> 01:09:45,231
Okay. I'll just tell
my $100,000 prospect

1229
01:09:45,306 --> 01:09:47,980
that, you didn't care
to meet his ugly wife.

1230
01:09:48,059 --> 01:09:49,527
I'm sorry, Hilda,
but that's the way it is.

1231
01:09:49,602 --> 01:09:51,070
Gosh. Wait a minute, Dink.

1232
01:09:51,145 --> 01:09:52,818
Maybe we can drop in
after dinner.

1233
01:09:52,897 --> 01:09:54,899
- Yeah, you do that.
- Good-bye, dear.

1234
01:10:32,186 --> 01:10:33,358
Hello?

1235
01:10:34,230 --> 01:10:35,948
Hello, Nell.

1236
01:10:36,023 --> 01:10:38,446
No, there's no word yet.
She hasn't been here.

1237
01:10:39,861 --> 01:10:41,863
Yes, he's back from Denver.
He called here earlier.

1238
01:10:43,573 --> 01:10:45,575
<i>I'll</i> call you back later.
There's someone at the door.

1239
01:10:50,371 --> 01:10:51,588
Russell.

1240
01:10:54,667 --> 01:10:55,714
Where is she, Stella?

1241
01:10:55,793 --> 01:10:58,717
Well, these friends of hers from New York
dropped in, and she called to say--

1242
01:10:58,796 --> 01:11:00,844
Don't lie to me.
Where is she?

1243
01:11:04,510 --> 01:11:06,763
Nell said she was with
Jacques de Lisle.

1244
01:11:06,846 --> 01:11:08,769
Where's he staying?

1245
01:11:08,848 --> 01:11:10,316
At the Manor Inn.

1246
01:11:10,391 --> 01:11:12,894
But, Russell, you mustn't think
just because-- Russ--

1247
01:11:17,273 --> 01:11:19,446
Could you send up
some sandwiches, please?

1248
01:11:20,318 --> 01:11:22,992
Well, if the kitchen is closed,
some crackers and cheese?

1249
01:11:23,070 --> 01:11:24,822
But right away.

1250
01:11:24,906 --> 01:11:26,328
Thank you very much.

1251
01:11:32,288 --> 01:11:34,006
Don't be sad, my darling.

1252
01:11:34,081 --> 01:11:35,628
I don't mean to be sad.

1253
01:11:35,708 --> 01:11:37,551
We had fun at dinner tonight,
didn't we, Jacques?

1254
01:11:37,627 --> 01:11:40,346
Ihaven1laughed
and talked so much in years.

1255
01:11:40,421 --> 01:11:43,015
It's always fun
when we are together.

1256
01:11:43,090 --> 01:11:44,512
And we'll be together often.

1257
01:11:44,592 --> 01:11:47,095
That's why I hate
to see you sad now.

1258
01:11:48,513 --> 01:11:50,265
Is it conscience?

1259
01:11:52,016 --> 01:11:54,018
I didn't know I had a conscience.

1260
01:11:55,645 --> 01:11:57,568
This is a funny world, Hilda.

1261
01:11:58,272 --> 01:12:01,572
You have to cheat a little
if you are going to survive.

1262
01:12:01,651 --> 01:12:03,824
Tell me, Jacques,
was it tonight that I cheated,

1263
01:12:03,903 --> 01:12:07,828
or five months ago
when I married Russell Burns?

1264
01:12:07,907 --> 01:12:11,662
You've always
lied to yourself a little.

1265
01:12:11,744 --> 01:12:13,838
That's been your trouble
all your life.

1266
01:12:16,249 --> 01:12:18,126
You know, Jacques,
I've had a life.

1267
01:12:18,209 --> 01:12:20,428
I didn't do much with it,
but I had it.

1268
01:12:22,296 --> 01:12:23,923
I've never done this though.

1269
01:12:24,841 --> 01:12:27,219
I've never sneaked in
a back door before.

1270
01:12:27,301 --> 01:12:29,929
That was unavoidable
in a small town like this.

1271
01:12:30,596 --> 01:12:32,519
But when you come
to New York,

1272
01:12:32,598 --> 01:12:34,441
I assure you it will be different.

1273
01:12:34,517 --> 01:12:37,111
I was rather sweet at 16, 17.

1274
01:12:37,186 --> 01:12:39,484
- Freshman history. Remember, Jacques?
- Yes.

1275
01:12:39,564 --> 01:12:41,316
I sat in the front row.

1276
01:12:42,400 --> 01:12:45,495
I wanted to have a beautiful heart
and a beautiful mind.

1277
01:12:45,570 --> 01:12:47,664
I wanted to give
to some wonderful husband

1278
01:12:47,738 --> 01:12:49,866
and to a large family of children.

1279
01:12:51,242 --> 01:12:53,415
I wanted to be Joan of Arc and...

1280
01:12:54,120 --> 01:12:56,214
Florence Nightingale.

1281
01:12:56,289 --> 01:13:00,010
Very bad casting,
as they say in Hollywood.

1282
01:13:00,084 --> 01:13:02,007
Would you like a drink?

1283
01:13:02,086 --> 01:13:06,216
The trouble with you, darling Hilda, is that
you are a classic figure and don't know it.

1284
01:13:07,884 --> 01:13:10,353
You belong in the 18th century.

1285
01:13:10,428 --> 01:13:13,056
Better yet, the Renaissance.

1286
01:13:14,056 --> 01:13:16,400
Because do you know
what you really are, Hilda?

1287
01:13:17,685 --> 01:13:21,986
You are a courtesan, in the old tradition.

1288
01:13:22,732 --> 01:13:27,078
A classic courtesan
like Pompadour or Du Barry.

1289
01:13:27,153 --> 01:13:31,158
In the right incarnation,
you'd turn the heads of kings

1290
01:13:31,240 --> 01:13:33,868
and do all the queens
out of their marital rights.

1291
01:13:33,951 --> 01:13:37,296
That must be our primitive room service.

1292
01:13:40,750 --> 01:13:42,502
Hilda.

1293
01:13:43,085 --> 01:13:44,507
Go outside.

1294
01:13:48,299 --> 01:13:49,926
I said go outside.

1295
01:13:56,432 --> 01:14:00,357
Well, what is there for me to say?

1296
01:14:00,436 --> 01:14:01,608
Nothing!

1297
01:14:18,245 --> 01:14:21,215
Hilda, I'm so glad you're home.

1298
01:14:21,290 --> 01:14:22,917
Russell went to look for you.

1299
01:14:23,000 --> 01:14:25,002
Now listen to me, Hilda.
You've got to let me handle this.

1300
01:14:25,086 --> 01:14:26,804
Russell will be back
any minute.

1301
01:14:26,879 --> 01:14:29,132
Now, let me do the talking.
You're too tired.

1302
01:14:29,215 --> 01:14:30,558
Is that clear?

1303
01:14:30,633 --> 01:14:32,431
You need say nothing
for a day two.

1304
01:14:32,510 --> 01:14:33,727
Just listen to me
and use your head.

1305
01:14:33,803 --> 01:14:35,521
- Do you understand?
- Yes, Mother.

1306
01:14:35,596 --> 01:14:37,473
I think you'd better go
right to bed.

1307
01:14:37,556 --> 01:14:39,274
Don't see him at all tonight.

1308
01:14:39,350 --> 01:14:40,693
Tomorrow will be time enough.

1309
01:14:41,352 --> 01:14:43,446
I couldn't keep it from him
that you were with that man,

1310
01:14:43,521 --> 01:14:46,445
but he doesn't know
where you went or what you did.

1311
01:14:47,441 --> 01:14:49,944
We can be grateful
for that, at least.

1312
01:14:50,027 --> 01:14:51,825
It would be so much worse
if he'd actually found you together.

1313
01:14:51,904 --> 01:14:54,532
He did, Mother.
We were in Jacques's room at the inn.

1314
01:14:55,741 --> 01:14:57,994
What are your intentions?

1315
01:14:58,077 --> 01:15:00,876
- Intentions?
- Yours and this man's.

1316
01:15:00,955 --> 01:15:02,923
Yes. His intentions.

1317
01:15:02,999 --> 01:15:05,718
Jacques has intentions,
as a matter of fact.

1318
01:15:05,793 --> 01:15:08,637
I'm to spend time in New York,
make little visits.

1319
01:15:09,380 --> 01:15:11,883
We'll meet places up back stairs,

1320
01:15:11,966 --> 01:15:15,721
and he'll find reasons why I should be
in New York several times a year.

1321
01:15:15,803 --> 01:15:18,477
And the rest of the time,
I'm to live off my husband.

1322
01:15:18,556 --> 01:15:21,230
He's very clever.
He's good at appearances, like you.

1323
01:15:21,308 --> 01:15:23,276
Hilda, will you please
try to be rational?

1324
01:15:23,352 --> 01:15:24,820
Rational is the thing I'm the most,

1325
01:15:24,895 --> 01:15:27,114
because I know exactly
where I belong.

1326
01:15:27,189 --> 01:15:29,533
I'm a classic figure.

1327
01:15:29,608 --> 01:15:31,827
A courtesan, he called me.

1328
01:15:31,902 --> 01:15:33,449
That's what Mrs. Burns called me.

1329
01:15:33,529 --> 01:15:36,203
In case you didn't know,
“courtesan” is a fancy word for “tramp.”

1330
01:15:37,324 --> 01:15:38,621
Well, what are you?

1331
01:15:41,037 --> 01:15:43,165
You agree with them,
don't you, Mother?

1332
01:15:44,915 --> 01:15:46,792
You agree with them,
but it isn't true.

1333
01:15:46,876 --> 01:15:48,128
I'm-- I'm a woman.

1334
01:15:48,210 --> 01:15:49,712
A failure, hopelessly wrong,

1335
01:15:49,795 --> 01:15:51,763
but all my life
I've struggled to be a woman.

1336
01:15:51,839 --> 01:15:54,308
Not a courtesan, not a tramp.

1337
01:15:54,383 --> 01:15:56,806
Where will I get the courage
to live through this?

1338
01:16:00,222 --> 01:16:02,896
I'm giving you a bad night,
aren't I?

1339
01:16:05,186 --> 01:16:09,111
Mother, do-- do you perhaps
love me a-- a little?

1340
01:16:09,940 --> 01:16:12,318
How could anyone love you
after what you've done?

1341
01:16:13,319 --> 01:16:15,868
But you're my daughter,
and we have to live in this town.

1342
01:16:15,946 --> 01:16:19,496
It's my responsibility to keep up appearances
even if you won't try.

1343
01:16:20,159 --> 01:16:24,164
Now, as long as you're here, we're going to
pretend that you are a respectable woman.

1344
01:16:24,246 --> 01:16:26,465
We're going to hold our heads up,
you and I.

1345
01:16:33,130 --> 01:16:34,803
Hilda, what are you doing?

1346
01:16:34,882 --> 01:16:37,305
I was just getting
a glass of water.

1347
01:16:43,307 --> 01:16:45,025
I can still handle it.

1348
01:16:45,851 --> 01:16:47,228
Russell is a sensible man,

1349
01:16:47,311 --> 01:16:49,530
and he knows
that you've been under a strain.

1350
01:16:49,605 --> 01:16:51,027
He can be talked to.

1351
01:16:51,732 --> 01:16:54,326
But you'll have to leave it
entirely to me.

1352
01:16:54,401 --> 01:16:56,199
Are you listening to me, Hilda?

1353
01:16:57,947 --> 01:16:59,199
Yes, Mother.

1354
01:16:59,281 --> 01:17:01,955
If you'd listened to me in the first place,
this would never have happened.

1355
01:17:02,034 --> 01:17:04,537
Now I'll have to start all over again,
right from the beginning.

1356
01:17:04,620 --> 01:17:07,123
Perhaps the two of you
can take a trip together.

1357
01:17:07,832 --> 01:17:10,335
It was a great mistake that you didn't
go away right after the wedding.

1358
01:17:30,396 --> 01:17:33,366
As for that other one,
you're never to see him again.

1359
01:17:34,900 --> 01:17:35,742
Never.

1360
01:17:35,818 --> 01:17:37,570
From now on,
I intend to have my way.

1361
01:17:37,653 --> 01:17:39,781
You won't get the chance to degrade us
any more than you already have.

1362
01:17:39,864 --> 01:17:42,617
Mother, I'm terribly tired.
Would you mind?

1363
01:17:46,370 --> 01:17:47,371
He's here.

1364
01:17:47,454 --> 01:17:50,003
Now, don't say a word.
Leave everything to me.

1365
01:17:50,082 --> 01:17:52,176
Lock your door when I go out.
Do you understand?

1366
01:17:52,251 --> 01:17:53,548
Yes, Mother.

1367
01:17:53,627 --> 01:17:54,924
Good night, Hilda.

1368
01:17:56,589 --> 01:17:57,806
Good-bye.

1369
01:18:21,071 --> 01:18:22,823
She's home, Russell,
but she's very tired, and she--

1370
01:18:22,907 --> 01:18:24,625
What are you doing here, Stella?

1371
01:18:24,700 --> 01:18:27,954
Well, surely a mother's place
is at her daughter's side when she's in trouble.

1372
01:18:28,704 --> 01:18:31,173
Please, Russell, please.
She doesn't want to see you.

1373
01:18:31,248 --> 01:18:34,172
- She made a special point of it.
- Get out of my way, Stella.

1374
01:18:51,727 --> 01:18:52,728
Hilda.

1375
01:19:04,782 --> 01:19:05,908
Hilda.

1376
01:19:14,166 --> 01:19:15,383
Hilda!

1377
01:19:30,015 --> 01:19:31,016
Hilda.

1378
01:19:31,934 --> 01:19:32,935
Hilda!

1379
01:20:00,504 --> 01:20:03,383
Dr. Francis? This is Russell Burns.

1380
01:20:20,858 --> 01:20:22,531
- Where is she?
- She's upstairs.

1381
01:20:23,902 --> 01:20:24,949
How many did she take?

1382
01:20:25,029 --> 01:20:27,202
The bottle was more than
half full yesterday.

1383
01:20:37,958 --> 01:20:40,211
Metrazol, intravenous.

1384
01:20:40,669 --> 01:20:41,886
Get your stomach pump ready.

1385
01:20:41,962 --> 01:20:44,556
- Can you save her, Doctor?
- We'll do our best.

1386
01:20:45,299 --> 01:20:47,267
Please leave us alone
with her, Russell.

1387
01:20:47,343 --> 01:20:48,185
Ready?

1388
01:20:48,260 --> 01:20:50,012
Here's the Metrazol, Doctor.

1389
01:21:12,368 --> 01:21:14,291
Would you like some coffee,
Russell?

1390
01:21:14,370 --> 01:21:15,792
No, thank you.

1391
01:21:42,106 --> 01:21:44,074
She'll be all right.

1392
01:21:44,149 --> 01:21:46,117
I phoned for a nurse.

1393
01:21:46,193 --> 01:21:49,367
The intern will stay with her
until the nurse gets here.

1394
01:21:49,863 --> 01:21:51,661
Hilda mustn't be left alone.

1395
01:21:51,740 --> 01:21:54,334
She'll be a pretty sick girl
for a couple of days.

1396
01:21:54,410 --> 01:21:55,662
Yes, Doctor.

1397
01:21:55,744 --> 01:21:58,793
After that, I--
I don't know.

1398
01:22:00,290 --> 01:22:02,463
Sometimes they try it again.

1399
01:22:03,210 --> 01:22:05,212
A doctor can only do so much.

1400
01:22:06,213 --> 01:22:08,386
Your wife wanted to die, Russell.

1401
01:22:09,258 --> 01:22:11,260
There's always a reason.

1402
01:22:12,261 --> 01:22:14,480
Who caused her
to do this to herself?

1403
01:22:18,142 --> 01:22:20,816
Well, I-- I'd better
be getting some sleep,

1404
01:22:20,894 --> 01:22:22,817
or I'll be a hospital patient myself.

1405
01:22:22,896 --> 01:22:24,990
- Thank you, Doctor.
- All right, Russell.

1406
01:22:32,531 --> 01:22:33,908
Russell.

1407
01:22:39,872 --> 01:22:41,294
Russell, I--

1408
01:22:41,832 --> 01:22:44,551
I hope you won't judge her
too harshly.

1409
01:22:44,626 --> 01:22:48,506
She was always an unstable person.
Very like her poor father.

1410
01:22:48,589 --> 01:22:50,683
Brilliant, but unable to face up
to the facts of--

1411
01:22:50,757 --> 01:22:52,475
I wasn't thinking of judging her, Stella.

1412
01:22:52,551 --> 01:22:54,553
I was thinking
of what the doctor said.

1413
01:22:55,387 --> 01:22:57,515
Who caused her
to do this to herself?

1414
01:22:58,724 --> 01:23:00,192
But why are you
looking at me?

1415
01:23:00,267 --> 01:23:01,564
Surely you don't think
I had anything to do with it.

1416
01:23:01,643 --> 01:23:03,145
- Didn't you?
- Of course not.

1417
01:23:03,228 --> 01:23:04,901
I didn't put all those ideas into her head.

1418
01:23:04,980 --> 01:23:06,948
I didn't send her off to New York
to lead the kind of life--

1419
01:23:07,024 --> 01:23:08,116
But you did, Stella.

1420
01:23:08,192 --> 01:23:11,571
You denied her the only thing
she ever asked of anyone--

1421
01:23:11,653 --> 01:23:13,030
to be loved for her own sake.

1422
01:23:13,113 --> 01:23:14,911
Did you-- Did you ever
put your arms around her

1423
01:23:14,990 --> 01:23:17,960
and say “You're my girl
no matter what you do?”

1424
01:23:19,411 --> 01:23:22,164
You never did that.
You never even thought of doing it.

1425
01:23:22,247 --> 01:23:24,249
That's why she went to New York.

1426
01:23:26,210 --> 01:23:27,962
She was looking for something.

1427
01:23:29,213 --> 01:23:31,511
Understanding, affection.

1428
01:23:33,258 --> 01:23:35,477
Well, don't feel too badly
about it, Stella.

1429
01:23:35,552 --> 01:23:37,896
Because when she came back,
I had my chance,

1430
01:23:37,971 --> 01:23:39,473
and I treated her even worse
than you did.

1431
01:23:39,556 --> 01:23:42,435
Because I offered her love,
and then--

1432
01:23:42,518 --> 01:23:46,489
then when Mother died, I--
I let her down completely.

1433
01:23:46,563 --> 01:23:48,657
L-- I acted like a hurt kid.

1434
01:23:56,949 --> 01:23:58,872
I guess it's time I grew up.

1435
01:24:10,337 --> 01:24:11,759
Come in.

1436
01:24:13,382 --> 01:24:14,850
Marie.

1437
01:24:14,925 --> 01:24:17,348
Would you take these down
and call a taxi for me, please?

1438
01:24:17,427 --> 01:24:18,519
Yes, Mrs. Burns.

1439
01:24:18,595 --> 01:24:20,643
Mr. Burns wanted to see you.

1440
01:24:22,683 --> 01:24:23,900
Thank you.

1441
01:24:59,553 --> 01:25:02,523
Hilda, I wanted to have
a talk with you.

1442
01:25:02,598 --> 01:25:04,942
There wouldn't be much point
in our talking now, would there?

1443
01:25:05,684 --> 01:25:07,277
I--

1444
01:25:07,352 --> 01:25:10,731
I didn't want to disturb you
until you felt better, but--

1445
01:25:10,814 --> 01:25:12,566
- Will you take a little walk with me?
- No, Russell.

1446
01:25:12,649 --> 01:25:15,903
I'm going back to New York.
I don't belong here. I never have.

1447
01:25:15,986 --> 01:25:18,284
I could never do you
anything but harm.

1448
01:25:18,363 --> 01:25:19,831
Please, Hilda.

1449
01:25:19,906 --> 01:25:22,250
You'll have enough time
before your train leaves.

1450
01:26:21,426 --> 01:26:24,350
- That ought to work out fine, Joe.
- All right. <i>I'll</i> fix it right away.

1451
01:26:28,225 --> 01:26:29,977
I'm putting on extra shifts.

1452
01:26:31,186 --> 01:26:33,484
House should be finished
in about three months...

1453
01:26:34,481 --> 01:26:37,530
just about the time it takes
to make a trip to Hawaii.

1454
01:26:39,653 --> 01:26:43,783
And Hong Kong and Bali and--
What is the name of those islands?

1455
01:26:43,865 --> 01:26:46,288
Spice.

1456
01:26:47,786 --> 01:26:49,584
You'll have to speak up.

1457
01:26:49,663 --> 01:26:51,540
The Spice Islands!

1458
01:26:52,499 --> 01:26:54,877
I don't even know where they are,
but I'd sure like to see them.

1459
01:26:54,960 --> 01:26:56,428
What was that?

1460
01:26:56,503 --> 01:26:57,925
I said--
