As a matter of fact, there is such a possibility. 414 00:33:00,650 --> 00:33:04,550 He was a very important scientist. The Nazis could have spared his life... 415 00:33:04,550 --> 00:33:08,850 in order to use his brain. But of course, who knows? 416 00:33:09,850 --> 00:33:13,150 It's curious that she didn't mention her father to me. 417 00:33:13,150 --> 00:33:15,750 You must understand something about these children. 418 00:33:15,750 --> 00:33:19,450 Their past is scarred. They're ashamed of it. 419 00:33:19,550 --> 00:33:23,850 To have a parent who has been persecuted, or killed in a concentration camp... 420 00:33:23,950 --> 00:33:28,050 is a reproach to them. They feel guilty for having survived. 421 00:33:28,050 --> 00:33:31,950 So they pretend the bad things never happened. 422 00:33:32,150 --> 00:33:35,750 To take such a child is a great responsibility... 423 00:33:35,750 --> 00:33:39,650 - ...even a sacrifice. - It's no sacrifice. 424 00:33:39,650 --> 00:33:43,750 I'm alone. The insurance I got after my husband's death is more than enough. 425 00:33:43,750 --> 00:33:48,250 I didn't mean financial sacrifice, although it's a good thing to have money. 426 00:33:48,250 --> 00:33:53,050 No, what I meant was, you will have to make a sacrifice of yourself. 427 00:33:53,050 --> 00:33:55,650 These children who have lost everything... 428 00:33:55,650 --> 00:33:58,350 spend their lives searching for new parents. 429 00:33:58,350 --> 00:34:03,050 Their need reaches out to your heart as naturally as a flower turns to the sun. 430 00:34:03,050 --> 00:34:04,650 And they trap you. 431 00:34:04,650 --> 00:34:09,450 Because they've been so long without love, they demand all the love you have. 432 00:34:09,650 --> 00:34:13,650 Karen will drain you of love. She'll exhaust you. 433 00:34:14,850 --> 00:34:17,450 That's exactly what I need. 434 00:34:23,050 --> 00:34:25,850 I'd like to go with you, Kitty. 435 00:34:26,250 --> 00:34:28,450 If you still want me. 436 00:35:06,150 --> 00:35:07,350 - Morning. - Morning. 437 00:35:07,350 --> 00:35:10,550 - Bowen, 23rd GT Company. - What can I do for you, sir? 438 00:35:10,550 --> 00:35:13,350 Afraid I'll to have to draw rather heavily on you. 439 00:35:13,350 --> 00:35:16,250 - Please have a chair. - Thank you. 440 00:35:17,650 --> 00:35:21,350 This does draw us down a bit.
