1
00:00:26,568 --> 00:00:28,115
Since the beginning...
2
00:00:28,153 --> 00:00:30,827
man has looked into
the awesome reaches of infinity...
3
00:00:30,906 --> 00:00:32,954
and asked the eternal questions:
4
00:00:33,534 --> 00:00:36,162
�What is time? What is space?
5
00:00:36,453 --> 00:00:39,081
"What is life? What is death?"
6
00:00:48,882 --> 00:00:50,759
Through a hundred civilizations...
7
00:00:50,842 --> 00:00:53,971
philosophers and scientists
have come with answers.
8
00:00:54,012 --> 00:00:55,935
But the bewilderment remains...
9
00:00:55,973 --> 00:01:00,319
for each human soul
must find the secret in its own faith.
10
00:01:01,019 --> 00:01:03,738
The tender and haunting legend
of the portrait of Jennie...
11
00:01:03,772 --> 00:01:06,400
is based on the two ingredients of faith:
12
00:01:06,858 --> 00:01:08,405
truth and hope.
13
00:01:09,903 --> 00:01:13,908
There is such a portrait that hung
in the Metropolitan Museum in New York.
14
00:01:14,283 --> 00:01:17,162
And there was such a girl named Jennie
who sat for it.
15
00:01:18,620 --> 00:01:20,213
So much is true.
16
00:01:21,206 --> 00:01:24,756
For the rest,
science tells us that nothing ever dies...
17
00:01:24,835 --> 00:01:26,553
but only changes.
18
00:01:26,628 --> 00:01:30,883
That time itself does not pass,
but curves around us.
19
00:01:31,174 --> 00:01:34,974
And that the past and the future are together
at our side forever.
20
00:01:37,848 --> 00:01:39,691
Out of the shadows of knowledge...
21
00:01:39,766 --> 00:01:43,646
and out of a painting that hung
on a museum wall comes our story.
22
00:01:43,645 --> 00:01:46,740
The truth of which lies not on our screen...
23
00:01:47,274 --> 00:01:49,197
but in your heart.
24
00:01:59,328 --> 00:02:02,457
And now, Portrait of Jennie.
25
00:02:05,584 --> 00:02:08,383
New York is a cold place in the winter.
26
00:02:08,795 --> 00:02:11,173
It was no warmer in the winter of '34.
27
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,810
Yet there is a type of suffering
for the artists...
28
00:02:15,093 --> 00:02:18,347
which is worse than anything
a winter or poverty can do.
29
00:02:19,097 --> 00:02:22,101
It is more like a winter of the mind.
30
00:02:22,684 --> 00:02:25,938
Dreadful feeling of the world's indifference.
31
00:02:26,730 --> 00:02:28,653
My courage had all run out.
32
00:02:41,411 --> 00:02:43,505
Yes, sir, what can I do for you?
33
00:02:44,498 --> 00:02:46,876
You can buy one of my pictures, perhaps.
34
00:02:46,958 --> 00:02:49,802
Yes, but of course, we buy very little,
almost nothing.
35
00:02:49,878 --> 00:02:51,676
Times being what they are.
36
00:02:52,214 --> 00:02:54,342
However, let me see what you have.
37
00:03:02,307 --> 00:03:04,230
- Landscapes.
- Mostly.
38
00:03:04,559 --> 00:03:05,811
Too bad.
39
00:03:06,144 --> 00:03:08,693
These are some things I did up at Cape Cod.
40
00:03:09,189 --> 00:03:11,237
That's the fisheries at North Truro.
41
00:03:13,902 --> 00:03:15,028
Land's End.
42
00:03:16,071 --> 00:03:17,698
Yeah, landscapes.
43
00:03:18,407 --> 00:03:20,580
Here are some sketches of the city.
44
00:03:20,909 --> 00:03:22,252
That's the bridge.
45
00:03:22,452 --> 00:03:25,296
It's a good bridge,
but I just don't happen to like bridges.
46
00:03:25,330 --> 00:03:27,628
They come here every day by the dozen.
47
00:03:28,625 --> 00:03:30,844
Miss Spinney, you startled me.
48
00:03:30,961 --> 00:03:33,089
This is my partner, Miss Spinney.
49
00:03:33,505 --> 00:03:35,678
I don't believe I caught your name.
50
00:03:36,049 --> 00:03:37,517
I didn't say it.
51
00:03:38,510 --> 00:03:40,183
My name is Eben Adams.
52
00:03:40,554 --> 00:03:42,648
- What are you so defensive about?
- I'm not.
53
00:03:42,723 --> 00:03:45,146
"I'm Eben Adams."
It would be better if you weren't.
54
00:03:45,183 --> 00:03:46,480
You might eat more.
55
00:03:47,269 --> 00:03:50,398
Don't be in such a hurry.
Let's see what you've got here.
56
00:03:50,522 --> 00:03:53,241
There's nothing there
that'll interest you or your partner.
57
00:03:53,275 --> 00:03:56,529
You're probably right.
I'd like to see what interests you.
58
00:03:57,529 --> 00:03:58,906
Sit down, Adams.
59
00:04:00,073 --> 00:04:02,997
You may not sell anything,
but at least you'll rest.
60
00:04:03,076 --> 00:04:04,669
I'd advise you to sit.
61
00:04:09,833 --> 00:04:12,382
- You can paint a nice flower.
- Thank you.
62
00:04:12,669 --> 00:04:15,468
- You ever read Robert Browning?
- Long time ago.
63
00:04:16,214 --> 00:04:20,219
You remember his poem about
Andrea del Sarto, the perfect painter?
64
00:04:21,094 --> 00:04:23,517
Proportion, anatomy, color...
65
00:04:23,930 --> 00:04:26,479
he had everything and nothing.
66
00:04:26,683 --> 00:04:28,685
He painted a perfect hand...
67
00:04:29,019 --> 00:04:32,523
while Raphael drew a formless claw.
68
00:04:32,898 --> 00:04:34,775
But Raphael loved his work.
69
00:04:35,942 --> 00:04:37,865
Poor Andy del Sarto.
70
00:04:38,361 --> 00:04:39,829
I think I get your point.
71
00:04:39,863 --> 00:04:42,491
There isn't a drop of love in any of these.
72
00:04:42,741 --> 00:04:45,745
- Really, Miss Spinney.
- Don't be soft, Matthews.
73
00:04:45,869 --> 00:04:49,544
I'm an old maid, and nobody
knows more about love than an old maid.
74
00:04:50,081 --> 00:04:52,209
What's the matter with you, Adams?
75
00:04:52,334 --> 00:04:55,133
You have to learn to care deeply
for something.
76
00:04:55,587 --> 00:04:57,180
We'll take the flower.
77
00:04:58,131 --> 00:05:02,261
I happen to have a weakness for flowers.
He doesn't do them too badly.
78
00:05:03,261 --> 00:05:06,390
Give you $12.50 for it.
If there's any argument, there's no sale.
79
00:05:06,473 --> 00:05:07,690
No argument.
80
00:05:08,016 --> 00:05:09,768
You pay him, Mr. Matthews.
81
00:05:10,227 --> 00:05:11,979
Have you change of $1?
82
00:05:12,771 --> 00:05:14,273
I haven't got a dime.
83
00:05:14,356 --> 00:05:16,074
He'll owe us 50 cents.
84
00:05:17,025 --> 00:05:19,904
If you want more flowers,
I've got a carload of them at home.
85
00:05:19,945 --> 00:05:22,118
I was afraid of that. Good day.
86
00:05:25,367 --> 00:05:28,120
Thank you very much.
Good day, Miss Spinney.
87
00:05:28,495 --> 00:05:31,419
I don't think you really wanted the picture.
88
00:05:31,706 --> 00:05:34,300
If I hadn't wanted it, I wouldn't have taken it.
89
00:05:34,334 --> 00:05:37,053
You have beautiful eyes. Goodbye.
90
00:05:38,964 --> 00:05:43,094
Oh, dear, I'm afraid that picture
isn't worth more than a couple of dollars.
91
00:05:43,802 --> 00:05:45,600
No, but Adams is.
92
00:05:45,846 --> 00:05:49,726
Yes, but we're supposed to be
in the business for profit, Miss Spinney.
93
00:05:50,392 --> 00:05:51,689
I thought.
94
00:05:52,060 --> 00:05:54,028
I bought this for myself.
95
00:05:55,063 --> 00:05:58,158
It's wonderful
what a little compliment can do.
96
00:05:58,859 --> 00:06:01,487
My first in 20 years, Mr. Matthews.
97
00:06:04,948 --> 00:06:07,451
At last! I had a little money in my pocket.
98
00:06:07,576 --> 00:06:11,547
But I think I was a little Sight-headed
from not having had enough to eat.
99
00:06:11,621 --> 00:06:15,467
Suddenly I had the awareness
of something extraordinary.
100
00:06:16,001 --> 00:06:18,880
The city sounds were muted and far away.
101
00:06:19,421 --> 00:06:22,140
They seemed to come from another time...
102
00:06:22,549 --> 00:06:25,803
like the sound of summer
in a meadow long ago.
103
00:06:31,933 --> 00:06:33,526
It belongs to me.
104
00:06:39,149 --> 00:06:41,072
Isn't anybody here with you?
105
00:06:41,151 --> 00:06:43,279
No, why should there be?
106
00:06:43,695 --> 00:06:46,414
It's getting pretty dark.
Oughtn't you go home?
107
00:06:46,740 --> 00:06:49,619
I don't have to go home yet.
Nobody's ready for me.
108
00:06:51,328 --> 00:06:53,080
Anyway, you're with me.
109
00:06:55,373 --> 00:06:56,841
I'm Jennie.
110
00:06:57,542 --> 00:06:59,636
- Jennie what?
- Jennie Appleton.
111
00:06:59,836 --> 00:07:01,679
Father and Mother are actor and actress.
112
00:07:01,713 --> 00:07:03,761
They're working
down at Hammerstein's Victoria.
113
00:07:03,840 --> 00:07:06,969
- They do juggling on a rope.
- Did you say Hammerstein's?
114
00:07:07,218 --> 00:07:08,219
Why?
115
00:07:08,386 --> 00:07:11,390
Because it was torn down years ago,
when I was a boy.
116
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:15,110
You must be thinking of some other place,
because I was there yesterday.
117
00:07:15,143 --> 00:07:18,067
- Well, now. Really...
- Let me see your pictures, mister.
118
00:07:18,104 --> 00:07:19,321
Adams.
119
00:07:19,814 --> 00:07:22,863
- How do you know they are pictures?
- I just know.
120
00:07:27,656 --> 00:07:30,159
Those are awful little windows
for such a big church.
121
00:07:30,241 --> 00:07:33,415
They have to be little,
there's so much wind in Cape Cod.
122
00:07:33,536 --> 00:07:35,413
I don't like it, it scares me.
123
00:07:35,455 --> 00:07:38,004
- The wind?
- No, the black water.
124
00:07:39,459 --> 00:07:42,429
There should be a lighthouse
out there in the ocean.
125
00:07:42,796 --> 00:07:45,174
Yes, there should be. How did you know?
126
00:07:45,298 --> 00:07:47,096
I don't exactly remember.
127
00:07:47,425 --> 00:07:49,928
Someday, I'll show it to you.
Out there on the rocks.
128
00:07:49,970 --> 00:07:53,349
- The Land's End Light.
- Thought you said you didn't remember.
129
00:07:53,807 --> 00:07:55,559
I don't, I just know.
130
00:07:58,103 --> 00:08:00,822
I wish I liked your pictures, but I don't.
131
00:08:01,856 --> 00:08:05,030
That's what everybody says.
That's why I can't sell them.
132
00:08:05,819 --> 00:08:09,824
Maybe you shouldn't paint places.
Why don't you paint people instead?
133
00:08:09,906 --> 00:08:12,409
Cecily Brown's home
is full of pictures of people.
134
00:08:12,409 --> 00:08:15,208
- Who's Cecily Brown?
- She's my best friend.
135
00:08:15,286 --> 00:08:17,835
I go to school every day now,
but only in the mornings.
136
00:08:17,914 --> 00:08:19,166
What do you learn?
137
00:08:19,207 --> 00:08:22,336
Yesterday we learned about the Kaiser.
He's the king of Germany.
138
00:08:22,419 --> 00:08:24,387
He was, a long time ago.
139
00:08:24,629 --> 00:08:25,721
You're wrong.
140
00:08:25,797 --> 00:08:28,892
Cecily's father's in Germany now,
and he sees him all the time.
141
00:08:28,925 --> 00:08:31,428
He says the Kaiser rides around
on a white horse...
142
00:08:31,469 --> 00:08:33,016
and he likes to fight.
143
00:08:33,054 --> 00:08:35,477
I can fight, too. I can fight Cecily.
144
00:08:35,557 --> 00:08:38,436
She's bigger, but I'm stronger.
I can fight her good.
145
00:08:38,476 --> 00:08:41,104
Thought you said
Cecily Brown was your best friend.
146
00:08:41,104 --> 00:08:42,356
She is.
147
00:08:43,106 --> 00:08:47,236
It's fun to have somebody to play with.
Don't you have anybody to play with?
148
00:08:47,902 --> 00:08:48,903
No.
149
00:08:51,072 --> 00:08:53,200
I'm afraid I have to go now.
150
00:08:53,825 --> 00:08:56,578
It's a little lonesome here, all by myself.
151
00:08:56,619 --> 00:08:59,338
So I'll walk a-ways with you,
if you don't mind.
152
00:09:00,123 --> 00:09:02,421
I know a song. Would you like to hear it?
153
00:09:02,459 --> 00:09:03,711
I'd love to.
154
00:09:04,919 --> 00:09:10,597
Where I come from
155
00:09:12,761 --> 00:09:16,766
nobody
156
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:21,235
knows
157
00:09:23,188 --> 00:09:29,036
And where I am going
158
00:09:30,862 --> 00:09:34,958
everything goes
159
00:09:36,159 --> 00:09:39,163
The wind blows
160
00:09:39,454 --> 00:09:42,924
the sea flows
161
00:09:43,541 --> 00:09:48,422
Nobody knows
162
00:09:50,799 --> 00:09:56,522
And where I am going
163
00:09:58,556 --> 00:10:02,686
nobody
164
00:10:03,812 --> 00:10:06,907
knows
165
00:10:10,819 --> 00:10:13,618
- Who taught you that?
- Nobody, it's just a song.
166
00:10:14,405 --> 00:10:16,999
- Do you know the game I like to play best?
- What?
167
00:10:17,033 --> 00:10:18,660
It's a wishing game.
168
00:10:18,910 --> 00:10:21,709
- I'll tell you what I wish most.
- What do you wish?
169
00:10:21,788 --> 00:10:25,213
First you have to close your eyes
and turn around three times.
170
00:10:26,251 --> 00:10:28,595
I wish that you would
wait for me to grow up...
171
00:10:28,586 --> 00:10:30,884
so that we could always be together.
172
00:10:34,384 --> 00:10:35,977
But you won't, I guess.
173
00:10:38,012 --> 00:10:40,936
I can't talk to you anymore. Goodbye.
174
00:10:54,529 --> 00:10:57,123
- I'll get your parcel.
- Thank you.
175
00:11:01,828 --> 00:11:03,330
Funny kind of a kid.
176
00:11:22,974 --> 00:11:26,353
- Is that you, Mr. Adams?
- Yes, Mrs. Jekes.
177
00:11:26,644 --> 00:11:29,944
You always come in so extremely quiet,
I can hardly hear you.
178
00:11:29,981 --> 00:11:33,235
- So thoughtful of my other tenants.
- I didn't want to disturb anybody.
179
00:11:33,276 --> 00:11:36,200
Of course not, a fine gentleman like you.
180
00:11:36,404 --> 00:11:38,907
- Would $5 do for a while?
- It won't, but I'll take it.
181
00:11:38,990 --> 00:11:41,960
- Hope I'll have more for you soon.
- You better see that you do.
182
00:11:41,993 --> 00:11:44,963
I don't suppose you'd be interested
in one of my sketches--
183
00:11:44,996 --> 00:11:46,464
My bathroom's full of them now.
184
00:11:46,497 --> 00:11:48,465
Where would I put another one?
In my parlor?
185
00:11:48,499 --> 00:11:51,002
No, I wouldn't expect anything like that.
186
00:11:54,047 --> 00:11:56,345
You certainly have a way, Mrs. Jekes.
187
00:11:56,382 --> 00:11:58,885
Play with him like a cat with a mouse,
then you pounce.
188
00:11:58,968 --> 00:12:02,097
But he is attractive, isn't he?
And a gentleman besides.
189
00:12:02,222 --> 00:12:04,350
That's what makes it so hard
to throw him out.
190
00:12:04,390 --> 00:12:06,893
But he's an ornament to your house.
191
00:12:07,018 --> 00:12:11,319
Just can't understand a man fiddling away
his time, just painting things.
192
00:12:11,898 --> 00:12:15,573
Of course he did shovel some snow
to pay part of last month's rent.
193
00:12:16,694 --> 00:12:18,947
Painting things? Women?
194
00:12:19,906 --> 00:12:21,158
Women in the...
195
00:12:21,199 --> 00:12:25,625
We agreed that he was a gentleman,
they just don't paint women "in the...�
196
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:27,872
No, of course not.
197
00:13:04,534 --> 00:13:07,959
Somehow the tune the little girl sang
stayed in my mind.
198
00:13:08,454 --> 00:13:11,082
And I thought of the last thing
she'd said to me...
199
00:13:11,165 --> 00:13:13,293
about waiting for her to grow up.
200
00:13:13,710 --> 00:13:16,930
But people can't wait
for other people to grow up.
201
00:13:17,672 --> 00:13:20,346
There was something different
about that child.
202
00:13:20,425 --> 00:13:23,224
I wondered if my pencil could catch it.
203
00:13:36,065 --> 00:13:38,488
- Hiya, Mac.
- Morning, Gus.
204
00:13:38,776 --> 00:13:41,495
Morning, is it? You've slept it all away.
205
00:13:41,571 --> 00:13:44,290
It's gone forever,
and a grand morning it was, too.
206
00:13:44,365 --> 00:13:47,665
I worked pretty late last night.
I didn't get to sleep till dawn.
207
00:13:47,702 --> 00:13:49,329
Had your breakfast yet?
208
00:13:50,121 --> 00:13:51,168
No.
209
00:13:51,247 --> 00:13:52,840
How about having some lunch with me?
210
00:13:52,874 --> 00:13:56,504
I'm not going to eat on you, Gus,
you have to work too hard for your money.
211
00:13:56,544 --> 00:13:58,421
Wait, I've got some money of my own.
212
00:13:58,463 --> 00:14:01,182
- No kidding.
- I sold a picture yesterday. $12.50.
213
00:14:01,257 --> 00:14:03,806
- What do you know?
- Today you're having lunch on me.
214
00:14:03,801 --> 00:14:05,428
It's a great pleasure, Mac.
215
00:14:05,511 --> 00:14:09,391
Just come along while I fix up the hack,
and we'll soon be on our way.
216
00:14:10,016 --> 00:14:12,314
You know, Gus, I can't get you at all.
217
00:14:12,560 --> 00:14:14,483
Why should you care if I eat?
218
00:14:14,687 --> 00:14:17,236
Maybe I don't like to see people go hungry.
219
00:14:17,648 --> 00:14:19,241
Let me put it this way, Mac:
220
00:14:19,275 --> 00:14:22,245
I've a lot of respect for a guy
that's doing what he's got to...
221
00:14:22,278 --> 00:14:24,372
even if, maybe, it's killing him.
222
00:14:24,447 --> 00:14:26,666
You want to paint pictures, so...
223
00:14:26,783 --> 00:14:29,912
you're going right ahead doing it, no matter.
I like that, Mac.
224
00:14:29,952 --> 00:14:33,582
Most of the time, fellow's got the idea
that there's nothing much to life...
225
00:14:33,664 --> 00:14:37,965
expect getting through it
as easy and as comfortable as they can.
226
00:14:38,044 --> 00:14:40,263
Making a quarter here, a dollar there.
227
00:14:40,797 --> 00:14:43,016
Eating, sleeping, and dying.
228
00:14:43,633 --> 00:14:45,306
Then a fellow like you comes along...
229
00:14:45,385 --> 00:14:48,184
who's not thinking too much
about them things.
230
00:14:48,554 --> 00:14:50,306
It starts you wondering.
231
00:14:50,681 --> 00:14:53,434
Wondering if maybe
you're not missing something.
232
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:57,818
Hop in. I'd like to recommend
my friend Moore...
233
00:14:57,897 --> 00:14:59,945
and his corned beef and cabbage.
234
00:15:01,109 --> 00:15:04,613
It's almost like home.
You couldn't pay me to eat anywhere else.
235
00:15:04,737 --> 00:15:06,956
- Sorry, Mac.
- It's all right.
236
00:15:07,490 --> 00:15:08,491
Oh, well.
237
00:15:10,368 --> 00:15:12,462
Taken to wearing scarves?
238
00:15:14,580 --> 00:15:16,298
That isn't mine. I found it.
239
00:15:16,374 --> 00:15:18,502
Belongs to a little girl I met in the park.
240
00:15:18,543 --> 00:15:21,296
- Pretty big scarf for a little girl.
- Funny kid.
241
00:15:21,379 --> 00:15:24,303
She said her parents were acrobats
at Hammerstein's Victoria.
242
00:15:24,382 --> 00:15:27,556
- Hammerstein's was torn down years ago.
- Of course it was.
243
00:15:27,635 --> 00:15:30,889
- But she said she was there yesterday.
- That's kids for you.
244
00:15:31,139 --> 00:15:33,062
Always dreaming up something.
245
00:15:33,349 --> 00:15:34,817
What do you know?
246
00:15:34,892 --> 00:15:38,021
Sarah Bernhardfs coming to America
for a farewell tour.
247
00:15:38,229 --> 00:15:40,982
- Have you gone crazy?
- That's what it says here.
248
00:15:41,107 --> 00:15:45,112
"Sarah Bernhardt,
distinguished French tragedienne...
249
00:15:45,236 --> 00:15:46,954
"arrives next month.�
250
00:15:47,071 --> 00:15:48,197
Let me see.
251
00:15:48,656 --> 00:15:50,454
That is what it says.
252
00:15:52,535 --> 00:15:54,663
This paper's dated 1910.
253
00:15:54,829 --> 00:15:57,332
1910? Where did you pick up
an old paper like that?
254
00:15:57,373 --> 00:16:00,923
That little girl in the park had it.
Her scarf was wrapped in it.
255
00:16:03,087 --> 00:16:04,885
Read that ad.
256
00:16:05,339 --> 00:16:06,932
"Hammerstein's Victoria.�
257
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:16,893
- What about it?
- It's just what she said.
258
00:16:16,934 --> 00:16:20,063
- I don't get you.
- She said her name was Jennie Appleton.
259
00:16:20,104 --> 00:16:21,105
So?
260
00:16:21,522 --> 00:16:23,274
Now that I think of it...
261
00:16:23,483 --> 00:16:25,577
she wasn't dressed the way kids are now.
262
00:16:25,610 --> 00:16:28,864
Look, Mac, you're not trying to
believe this kid, are you'?
263
00:16:29,780 --> 00:16:32,374
- Of course not.
- Okay, eat your lunch.
264
00:16:32,492 --> 00:16:34,085
As my mother used to say:
265
00:16:34,118 --> 00:16:37,998
"if you got too little in your stomach,
you got too much in your head."
266
00:16:38,664 --> 00:16:39,790
I see.
267
00:16:40,458 --> 00:16:42,677
You think I'm imagining things.
268
00:16:42,710 --> 00:16:45,714
No, Gus, she was real enough, all right.
269
00:16:46,255 --> 00:16:47,347
I saw her.
270
00:16:47,882 --> 00:16:49,680
What's more, I could draw her for you.
271
00:16:49,884 --> 00:16:51,932
- Hi, Gus.
- Hi, Mac, how are things?
272
00:16:51,969 --> 00:16:54,472
Meet my friend, he's the owner of the joint.
273
00:16:54,514 --> 00:16:56,983
- Hello, Mr. Moore.
- Everything all right, sir?
274
00:16:57,058 --> 00:16:59,231
- Couldn't be better.
- I'm glad to hear you say it.
275
00:16:59,310 --> 00:17:02,814
- And you, Gus, everything all right?
- Sure, I guess so.
276
00:17:03,105 --> 00:17:05,654
What do you mean, I guess so?
Anything wrong?
277
00:17:06,567 --> 00:17:07,910
No, I guess not.
278
00:17:07,944 --> 00:17:10,413
- ls the food all right?
- Sure.
279
00:17:10,863 --> 00:17:12,581
Then what's griping you?
280
00:17:12,865 --> 00:17:16,915
I kind of hate to say this, Mac.
You're not the sort of man I like to hurt.
281
00:17:16,953 --> 00:17:21,299
But if you don't see me around for a while,
don't be surprised.
282
00:17:21,374 --> 00:17:23,752
I thought I might
start eating down at Nick's for a change.
283
00:17:23,793 --> 00:17:25,795
- Nick's?
- Yeah.
284
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:27,638
- Nick's!
- What's wrong with Nick's?
285
00:17:29,298 --> 00:17:32,552
Nothing the matter with Nick's, I suppose...
286
00:17:32,593 --> 00:17:34,846
if you like that type of place.
287
00:17:34,887 --> 00:17:37,515
So you're going to start eating
down at Nick's?
288
00:17:39,475 --> 00:17:41,773
- It's a nice day we're having.
- Beautiful day.
289
00:17:41,852 --> 00:17:43,399
It is, and more.
290
00:17:44,105 --> 00:17:46,733
So you're going to start eating
down at Nick's?
291
00:17:46,774 --> 00:17:48,447
Yeah, I thought I might.
292
00:17:50,736 --> 00:17:54,457
Takes all kinds of people to make a world.
All kinds.
293
00:17:54,657 --> 00:17:58,537
And some of them
hasn't a trace of friendship or loyalty.
294
00:18:00,037 --> 00:18:02,131
A fella likes a change once in a while.
295
00:18:02,206 --> 00:18:03,958
A change from what?
296
00:18:04,041 --> 00:18:07,545
It's this room, the joint.
It's dark in here, Mac.
297
00:18:07,837 --> 00:18:08,929
Dark?
298
00:18:10,423 --> 00:18:13,347
You ought to brighten it up.
Brighten up the joint, Mac.
299
00:18:13,384 --> 00:18:17,355
- What would you want me to do?
- I don't know, I hadn't got that far.
300
00:18:17,638 --> 00:18:21,268
I suppose I could hang a stray picture
here and there.
301
00:18:22,893 --> 00:18:24,941
You know, it's a crying shame...
302
00:18:24,979 --> 00:18:28,609
you couldn't have a whole scene
painted right on the wall.
303
00:18:29,066 --> 00:18:31,285
Of course I know that can't be done.
304
00:18:31,485 --> 00:18:33,032
Why can't it be done?
305
00:18:33,362 --> 00:18:35,911
Didn't you ever hear tell of muriels?
306
00:18:36,824 --> 00:18:39,452
Pictures painted onto a wall.
307
00:18:39,619 --> 00:18:42,463
Is it possible to paint a picture
right on the wall?
308
00:18:42,538 --> 00:18:45,132
Of course it's possible.
It's done all the time.
309
00:18:45,166 --> 00:18:47,294
See, you dumb ox?
310
00:18:47,335 --> 00:18:51,090
As a matter of fact, this wall
would lend itself to a mural very nicely.
311
00:18:51,088 --> 00:18:53,090
What are we thinking of?
312
00:18:53,090 --> 00:18:57,095
We got one of the grandest artists in
the whole world sitting right at the table...
313
00:18:57,178 --> 00:19:00,432
and why don't we ask him to do some?
You could squeeze it in, Mac.
314
00:19:00,514 --> 00:19:04,109
You could squeeze it in
between all your other commissions.
315
00:19:04,393 --> 00:19:06,566
Well, I don't know.
316
00:19:06,646 --> 00:19:10,196
You could drop in here,
say around noontime or suppertime.
317
00:19:10,232 --> 00:19:11,984
It won't cost you a cent.
318
00:19:13,819 --> 00:19:16,618
Excuse me a minute. I got to post this.
319
00:19:19,992 --> 00:19:22,165
Lost him. Had him, and I lost him.
320
00:19:22,286 --> 00:19:25,085
Let it go, Gus,
don't say anything more about it.
321
00:19:31,837 --> 00:19:34,590
Up the Rebels!
322
00:19:35,132 --> 00:19:36,725
- Three beers, Mac!
- Coming up.
323
00:19:36,801 --> 00:19:38,428
Did you ever see Mick Collins?
324
00:19:38,511 --> 00:19:40,559
I never did, and I've often regretted it.
325
00:19:40,596 --> 00:19:42,143
Here's what you should do.
326
00:19:42,264 --> 00:19:45,939
Right over the bar here,
a painting of Michael Collins.
327
00:19:46,060 --> 00:19:47,482
Mick Collins himself...
328
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:51,150
and he leading his men into battle
against the might of England.
329
00:19:51,232 --> 00:19:52,654
Just a minute, Gus.
330
00:19:52,692 --> 00:19:55,571
Man alive, it'd be the greatest thing
that ever hit this town.
331
00:19:55,611 --> 00:19:59,241
Moore's Alhambra would be
the rallying place for every Irish patriot.
332
00:19:59,281 --> 00:20:01,454
Why, you wouldn't have
standing room at the bar.
333
00:20:01,534 --> 00:20:03,628
And it wouldn't cost you a cent.
334
00:20:03,786 --> 00:20:07,006
- It sounds kind of interesting.
- Now, here's how I see it.
335
00:20:07,123 --> 00:20:09,922
Or should I say,
how my friend Mac here sees it.
336
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,719
It's early dawn on a small hill in Ireland.
337
00:20:14,547 --> 00:20:16,800
There on a carpet of shamrock...
338
00:20:16,841 --> 00:20:19,560
under an old elm, stands Mick Collins.
339
00:20:19,677 --> 00:20:22,055
Leaning on his gun, waiting for zero hour.
340
00:20:22,096 --> 00:20:25,145
All the Murphys and Flannegans,
and O'Sheas are waiting with him.
341
00:20:25,182 --> 00:20:28,402
In a brief moment,
Mick himself will lead them into battle...
342
00:20:28,436 --> 00:20:30,029
and lead them to victory.
343
00:20:30,104 --> 00:20:32,277
Up the Rebels!
344
00:20:32,356 --> 00:20:35,030
You've got to paint it, Mr. Adams!
345
00:20:36,444 --> 00:20:38,913
Up the Rebels!
346
00:20:48,539 --> 00:20:51,668
- What's this?
- Sketch of a little girl I saw in the park.
347
00:20:52,460 --> 00:20:54,963
It's very good. Isn't it, Miss Spinney?
348
00:20:55,004 --> 00:20:57,382
Yes, I think
you have something there, Adams.
349
00:20:57,423 --> 00:20:59,221
- Do you know why I like it?
- Why?
350
00:20:59,300 --> 00:21:02,975
There's a quality about the girl
that reminds me of long ago.
351
00:21:03,053 --> 00:21:06,182
And there ought to be something timeless
about a woman.
352
00:21:06,766 --> 00:21:10,896
Something eternal. You can see it
in all the great portraits of the past.
353
00:21:10,936 --> 00:21:13,564
They make you feel you could
meet those women anywhere...
354
00:21:13,606 --> 00:21:15,324
and be inspired by them.
355
00:21:15,399 --> 00:21:17,117
Well, then, Mr. Adams...
356
00:21:17,151 --> 00:21:19,620
I'll tell you what I'll do, I'll take that sketch.
357
00:21:19,653 --> 00:21:24,159
I'll give you $25 for it,
and I don't care what Miss Spinney says.
358
00:21:24,241 --> 00:21:26,164
I'm not going to say anything.
359
00:21:26,243 --> 00:21:28,917
Now, Adams, you can
stop feeling sorry for yourself.
360
00:21:28,996 --> 00:21:30,589
Things are looking up.
361
00:21:30,664 --> 00:21:33,133
I'm getting three meals a day
for painting a mural...
362
00:21:33,167 --> 00:21:36,421
and now $25, thank you, for a sketch.
363
00:21:36,796 --> 00:21:40,016
A sketch, well, thank you.
364
00:21:41,258 --> 00:21:44,558
- Where are you going now?
- Nowhere, anywhere.
365
00:21:44,804 --> 00:21:47,273
Where I come from, nobody knows.
366
00:21:47,348 --> 00:21:50,147
And where I'm going, anything goes.
367
00:21:50,184 --> 00:21:53,233
- What's that?
- It's a song that little girl sang in the park.
368
00:21:53,354 --> 00:21:56,733
If you don't know where you're going,
perhaps you'd like a cup of tea.
369
00:21:56,774 --> 00:21:58,151
Don't care if I do.
370
00:21:58,192 --> 00:21:59,444
Come along.
371
00:22:00,861 --> 00:22:03,330
- Thank you.
- See you later, Mr. Matthews.
372
00:22:04,365 --> 00:22:06,333
As you say, Miss Spinney.
373
00:22:09,578 --> 00:22:12,206
I haven't been ice-skating
since I was a kid in Maine.
374
00:22:12,289 --> 00:22:16,169
- You were brought up in Maine?
- South Paris, Maine. Pretty swanky, huh?
375
00:22:16,877 --> 00:22:20,131
Nice little town. Rivers, lakes, mountains.
376
00:22:21,006 --> 00:22:23,555
My father ran the general store until he died.
377
00:22:23,592 --> 00:22:26,061
My mother died a couple of years later...
378
00:22:26,095 --> 00:22:29,224
and I worked myself
through three years of college.
379
00:22:30,599 --> 00:22:33,227
- Fascinating, isn't it?
- I think it's interesting.
380
00:22:33,269 --> 00:22:35,363
I want to ask your advice about something.
381
00:22:35,437 --> 00:22:37,940
I don't feel sorry for myself,
the way you said.
382
00:22:37,982 --> 00:22:39,780
I'm facing a very practical problem.
383
00:22:39,817 --> 00:22:42,912
That is something.
An artist facing a practical problem.
384
00:22:42,945 --> 00:22:45,744
Not the kind you think.
I don't mind being hungry.
385
00:22:45,865 --> 00:22:48,869
I don't even care about
having to dodge the landlady.
386
00:22:49,201 --> 00:22:51,545
I know every artist
who ever amounted to anything...
387
00:22:51,620 --> 00:22:53,839
went through a lot more than I have.
388
00:22:54,081 --> 00:22:56,049
But they knew they had something.
389
00:22:56,125 --> 00:22:58,344
You can take a lot of beating
when you know that.
390
00:22:58,419 --> 00:23:01,423
But who do I think I am?
Why should I believe that...
391
00:23:01,547 --> 00:23:04,175
of all the thousands of struggling artists...
392
00:23:04,341 --> 00:23:07,185
I'm one who has something worth saying?
393
00:23:08,429 --> 00:23:10,227
Relax, Adams.
394
00:23:10,347 --> 00:23:13,521
Come and sit down.
Irritates me when you go on like that-.
395
00:23:14,226 --> 00:23:16,979
You know,
something about you appeals to me.
396
00:23:17,062 --> 00:23:18,359
I can't imagine what.
397
00:23:18,397 --> 00:23:21,492
I think you're like the beau I wanted
when I was young.
398
00:23:22,735 --> 00:23:24,533
When I was doubting myself.
399
00:23:24,820 --> 00:23:26,697
- Not you, too?
- Even me.
400
00:23:27,031 --> 00:23:28,658
Look what it's brought me.
401
00:23:28,741 --> 00:23:32,666
Just a frustrated old maid,
lecturing a frustrated young artist.
402
00:23:35,122 --> 00:23:36,419
What shall I do?
403
00:23:36,498 --> 00:23:38,921
I think the sketch shows you
what you can do.
404
00:23:38,959 --> 00:23:41,462
All you need is a little inspiration,
any inspiration.
405
00:23:41,503 --> 00:23:43,380
That little girl in the park.
406
00:23:45,466 --> 00:23:47,013
I guess that does it.
407
00:23:47,092 --> 00:23:49,891
How's about you and me
taking a twirl on the ice?
408
00:23:49,970 --> 00:23:51,347
Go along with you.
409
00:23:52,097 --> 00:23:53,644
Thanks, Miss Spinney.
410
00:24:21,752 --> 00:24:23,379
Hello, Mr. Adams.
411
00:24:30,302 --> 00:24:31,554
Hello, Jennie.
412
00:24:32,513 --> 00:24:33,810
Isn't this fun?
413
00:24:33,847 --> 00:24:35,849
- I can't believe it's you.
- Why not?
414
00:24:35,933 --> 00:24:38,231
'Cause you've grown so much taller.
415
00:24:38,268 --> 00:24:40,145
Maybe you didn't see me so good before.
416
00:24:40,187 --> 00:24:42,155
No, I'm sure you've grown.
417
00:24:42,272 --> 00:24:44,900
Of course I have. I'm hurrying.
418
00:24:45,192 --> 00:24:47,820
- Don't you remember our wish?
- Sure I do.
419
00:24:48,529 --> 00:24:49,826
Let's skate.
420
00:24:51,824 --> 00:24:53,576
Let's go a little faster.
421
00:25:08,841 --> 00:25:10,434
You look so funny.
422
00:25:10,884 --> 00:25:12,602
I feel so funny, too.
423
00:25:15,556 --> 00:25:17,729
By the way, I have something here of yours.
424
00:25:17,808 --> 00:25:19,401
What a pretty scarf.
425
00:25:19,476 --> 00:25:22,150
It was in the parcel on the bench.
You said it was yours.
426
00:25:22,187 --> 00:25:23,188
Did I'?
427
00:25:23,856 --> 00:25:25,779
If I said so, it must be true.
428
00:25:26,358 --> 00:25:29,202
Why don't you keep it for me
until I grow up?
429
00:25:29,236 --> 00:25:31,409
Then I'll have one more reason
to grow up fast.
430
00:25:31,488 --> 00:25:33,786
All right, I owe you a favor anyway.
431
00:25:34,033 --> 00:25:35,330
You do? Why?
432
00:25:35,451 --> 00:25:37,624
I did a sketch of you the other day,
and sold it.
433
00:25:37,661 --> 00:25:38,662
I'm glad.
434
00:25:38,746 --> 00:25:40,965
Man who bought it
told me to paint portraits.
435
00:25:40,998 --> 00:25:42,466
What do you think of that?
436
00:25:42,499 --> 00:25:44,627
Who would you paint, Mr. Adams?
437
00:25:44,752 --> 00:25:47,847
I don't know. I haven't decided yet.
438
00:25:51,258 --> 00:25:52,851
Will you let it be me?
439
00:25:53,510 --> 00:25:54,511
Who else?
440
00:25:56,013 --> 00:25:57,981
I'm going to have my picture painted.
441
00:25:58,015 --> 00:26:00,063
Won't Emily be mad?
442
00:26:00,142 --> 00:26:03,362
Emily's my best friend.
She had her picture painted by Mr. Fromkes.
443
00:26:03,395 --> 00:26:05,397
And I said you were going to do mine.
444
00:26:05,481 --> 00:26:06,858
How did you know that?
445
00:26:06,940 --> 00:26:10,114
I wished it, then I closed my eyes
and turned around three times.
446
00:26:10,152 --> 00:26:13,076
But Emily still said you wouldn't paint me,
so I slapped her.
447
00:26:13,155 --> 00:26:16,455
Emily? I thought it was Cecily
you always fought with.
448
00:26:19,411 --> 00:26:21,709
You don't mean Cecily Brown, do you?
449
00:26:21,789 --> 00:26:25,089
She moved away to Boston three years ago.
I thought I told you.
450
00:26:25,167 --> 00:26:26,794
No, you didn't.
451
00:26:27,377 --> 00:26:30,176
- That's funny.
- Well, it doesn't matter.
452
00:26:30,422 --> 00:26:32,299
Come on, let's skate.
453
00:26:35,260 --> 00:26:37,058
I'll have to be going pretty soon.
454
00:26:37,137 --> 00:26:39,936
No, don't go.
How would you like some hot chocolate?
455
00:26:39,973 --> 00:26:43,147
- I love hot chocolate.
- You can get it right over there.
456
00:26:44,436 --> 00:26:47,315
- How wonderful. Thank you.
- You're welcome.
457
00:26:48,148 --> 00:26:51,618
Jennie, where do you live?
I'd like to come and see you.
458
00:26:53,153 --> 00:26:56,453
I don't think there's any place
you can come and see me yet.
459
00:26:56,532 --> 00:26:59,331
- Why?
- Oh, it's just the way it is.
460
00:27:00,536 --> 00:27:02,789
When will you start my portrait?
461
00:27:02,830 --> 00:27:06,585
Whenever your parents will let you.
Where are they now?
462
00:27:06,708 --> 00:27:08,301
At Hammerstein's.
463
00:27:09,044 --> 00:27:10,591
They're still at Hammerstein's?
464
00:27:10,587 --> 00:27:14,262
And they've got wonderful new tricks,
way up on a high wire.
465
00:27:14,299 --> 00:27:17,769
But sometimes it scares me to watch them.
Of course that's silly.
466
00:27:17,845 --> 00:27:21,145
That's why they're so famous.
They scare everybody.
467
00:27:22,182 --> 00:27:23,980
I'd like to see them.
468
00:27:24,143 --> 00:27:27,943
Then I could ask their permission
for you to come and sit for me.
469
00:27:28,397 --> 00:27:30,695
Why don't you take me to Hammerstein's
to see them?
470
00:27:30,732 --> 00:27:33,861
Yes, do let's go. I can get us in free.
471
00:27:34,319 --> 00:27:37,289
- Could you go to the matinee Saturday?
- I think so.
472
00:27:37,322 --> 00:27:39,074
Where will we meet?
473
00:27:40,284 --> 00:27:44,255
Let's meet here in the park,
at that bench where we met before.
474
00:27:44,329 --> 00:27:47,253
I'll be there at 2:00. At least, I'll try.
475
00:27:52,171 --> 00:27:54,469
That was wonderful chocolate.
476
00:27:54,590 --> 00:27:56,558
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
477
00:27:56,633 --> 00:27:59,352
- Well, I really must go now.
- Must you?
478
00:28:00,637 --> 00:28:04,483
I hate it to stop,
because when will we ever have it again?
479
00:28:06,226 --> 00:28:08,274
- Well, goodbye.
- Goodbye.
480
00:28:23,744 --> 00:28:25,872
Looking for someone, Adams?
481
00:28:26,496 --> 00:28:29,966
I was just watching the little girl
I was talking to you about.
482
00:28:41,553 --> 00:28:43,931
I know now that Spinney didn't see Jennie.
483
00:28:44,014 --> 00:28:47,143
But all 3 knew then
was that she kept a watchful eye on me...
484
00:28:47,184 --> 00:28:50,279
as though I were a patient
that needed watching.
485
00:28:50,479 --> 00:28:52,652
I was happy when I realized
it was Saturday...
486
00:28:52,731 --> 00:28:54,859
and I could scarcely wait to find out...
487
00:28:54,900 --> 00:28:58,871
what Jennie was going to present to me
as Hammerstein 's.
488
00:29:01,114 --> 00:29:05,085
But alas, there was no sign of Jennie.
Apparently she had forgotten.
489
00:29:05,327 --> 00:29:08,297
On impulse, I decided to find out for myself
what I could...
490
00:29:08,372 --> 00:29:10,295
about Jennie's parents.
491
00:29:10,374 --> 00:29:14,004
I had a bet with a friend of mine.
I wonder if you can help me.
492
00:29:14,044 --> 00:29:16,923
- Remember the old Hammerstein theater?
- Do I remember it?
493
00:29:17,005 --> 00:29:20,134
You came to the right party
to ask about Hammerstein's.
494
00:29:20,175 --> 00:29:22,473
I claimed it used to be here,
and my friend thinks--
495
00:29:22,552 --> 00:29:23,929
Your friend loses.
496
00:29:23,971 --> 00:29:28,272
Hammerstein's used to stand right there,
where the Rialto is now. Yes, sir.
497
00:29:28,308 --> 00:29:29,981
I want to ask you one more question.
498
00:29:30,060 --> 00:29:32,404
- Do you remember the Appletons?
- The Appletons?
499
00:29:32,479 --> 00:29:36,279
- They used to have an act. Trapeze.
- Trapeze. It seems to me...
500
00:29:36,483 --> 00:29:39,487
Look, you go over to the Rialto,
and ask old Pete.
501
00:29:39,528 --> 00:29:42,532
He's a doorman or something.
He used to play Hammerstein's.
502
00:29:42,614 --> 00:29:44,958
Pretty good song-and-dance man in his day.
503
00:29:45,033 --> 00:29:47,252
- He might know.
- Thanks a lot.
504
00:29:51,915 --> 00:29:55,636
Yeah, there were the four Appletons.
505
00:29:56,003 --> 00:30:00,224
That was in 1902. They were clowns.
506
00:30:00,340 --> 00:30:02,638
They were very good, too.
Right from Vienna.
507
00:30:02,676 --> 00:30:06,772
This was a high-wire act,
husband and wife. 1910.
508
00:30:07,055 --> 00:30:11,435
Then there was
Mike and Pat Appleton, lrishers.
509
00:30:11,935 --> 00:30:15,189
They did some songs and pitter-pattering.
510
00:30:15,897 --> 00:30:20,494
That was 1904 or 1905 maybe.
511
00:30:22,112 --> 00:30:23,705
1910.
512
00:30:24,948 --> 00:30:27,872
Please, let me do it my way.
513
00:30:29,328 --> 00:30:33,708
I have to go backwards
and then start from the beginning, you see?
514
00:30:34,166 --> 00:30:38,137
Otherwise, I will not remember,
and I don't like not to remember.
515
00:30:38,337 --> 00:30:42,467
Then I'll think
I'm getting a little old, you see.
516
00:30:43,592 --> 00:30:45,811
I'm sorry to put you to all this trouble.
517
00:30:45,802 --> 00:30:48,601
No trouble at all.
I have a very good memory.
518
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:52,435
It's only sometimes
that I don't remember things very well.
519
00:30:55,020 --> 00:30:57,523
- Clara will know.
- Clara who?
520
00:30:57,606 --> 00:31:01,531
Clara Morgan. She was with
the wardrobe at Hammerstein's.
521
00:31:01,568 --> 00:31:04,993
Everybody went to her with his troubles.
522
00:31:05,989 --> 00:31:09,289
Those colored people, very wise people.
523
00:31:10,118 --> 00:31:12,120
They know what trouble is.
524
00:31:12,204 --> 00:31:16,334
- Do you know how I can find her?
- Sure I know where you can find her.
525
00:31:16,833 --> 00:31:19,086
- Well, where does she live?
- Live?
526
00:31:21,254 --> 00:31:24,975
332 East 135th Street.
527
00:31:25,217 --> 00:31:28,016
- Thank you very much.
- Good memory, no?
528
00:31:28,345 --> 00:31:32,316
- Just wonderful. Goodbye.
- Thank you so much.
529
00:31:37,270 --> 00:31:39,819
They were all wonderful acts.
530
00:31:40,399 --> 00:31:44,120
For me, they had more glamor
than anything you see today.
531
00:31:44,403 --> 00:31:48,579
You sort of felt as though
you knew all the artists personally.
532
00:31:49,991 --> 00:31:51,334
Here it is.
533
00:31:51,368 --> 00:31:55,089
These are the Appletons.
Mary and Frank Appleton.
534
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:07,384
- This little girl...
- That's their daughter, Jennie.
535
00:32:08,009 --> 00:32:09,977
- Their daughter'?
- Yes.
536
00:32:11,138 --> 00:32:15,268
Isn't it possible that
this child is their granddaughter'?
537
00:32:15,809 --> 00:32:19,404
Oh, no. I knew Jennie
when this picture was taken.
538
00:32:19,938 --> 00:32:24,068
She was a darling little girl
with big, sad eyes.
539
00:32:24,317 --> 00:32:27,196
She used to come backstage
and sit on my lap.
540
00:32:27,404 --> 00:32:29,577
I used to give her rock candy.
541
00:32:29,990 --> 00:32:32,493
- Do you know where she is now'?
- No.
542
00:32:32,701 --> 00:32:37,207
I lost track of her after her parents
were killed that night on the trapeze.
543
00:32:37,289 --> 00:32:40,338
That was many years ago. The wire broke.
544
00:32:40,417 --> 00:32:43,717
Jennie was in the theater looking
when it happened.
545
00:32:44,588 --> 00:32:47,011
You're sure you don't remember
what happened to her'?
546
00:32:47,048 --> 00:32:50,678
Well, it seems as if I remember some talk...
547
00:32:50,719 --> 00:32:53,472
about her aunts wanting to put her
in a convent.
548
00:32:53,513 --> 00:32:55,106
Jennie wasn't a Catholic...
549
00:32:55,182 --> 00:32:59,779
but her aunt said
a convent was the best place for a girl to be.
550
00:33:00,395 --> 00:33:02,773
Thank you very much, Mrs. Morgan.
551
00:33:04,024 --> 00:33:07,995
- I appreciate your giving me your time.
- Thank you, Mr. Adams.
552
00:33:08,361 --> 00:33:11,331
It isn't often I have a chance
to share my memories.
553
00:33:11,406 --> 00:33:14,785
I do hope you find Jennie.
She was a dear little girl.
554
00:33:14,826 --> 00:33:17,545
I hope so, too. Thank you again.
555
00:33:21,458 --> 00:33:24,678
That night, everything seemed
like a dream to me.
556
00:33:24,794 --> 00:33:27,718
The towers of the city, the myriad lights.
557
00:33:27,839 --> 00:33:31,889
But now I knew that Jennie
was no! just an imaginative child.
558
00:33:32,219 --> 00:33:35,439
Not just a child denying time and reason.
559
00:33:36,431 --> 00:33:40,277
Instinctively, I found myself
approaching the bench in the park:
560
00:33:40,352 --> 00:33:41,774
Jennie's bench.
561
00:33:42,145 --> 00:33:43,738
And as I did...
562
00:33:44,231 --> 00:33:47,485
I was conscious
of an unaccustomed atmosphere.
563
00:33:48,985 --> 00:33:51,989
As though time were melting with the snow.
564
00:33:54,449 --> 00:33:57,623
Were the sobs that I heard
part of the illusion?
565
00:34:03,667 --> 00:34:05,965
Jennie, what's the matter?
566
00:34:07,379 --> 00:34:10,383
- What are you crying about?
- Father and Mother.
567
00:34:10,423 --> 00:34:13,927
Father and... Somethings happened.
They've had an accident.
568
00:34:14,010 --> 00:34:16,479
- I knew it would happen.
- The wire broke.
569
00:34:16,513 --> 00:34:20,108
I knew it would happen.
I was always scared it would happen.
570
00:34:20,225 --> 00:34:22,148
- And tonight--
- Tonight?
571
00:34:23,728 --> 00:34:27,449
Jennie, I know how you feel.
I know how much it hurts.
572
00:34:28,108 --> 00:34:31,908
But it isn't hurting them.
Please try to think of it that way.
573
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:36,120
- But they're dead.
- We all die sometime.
574
00:34:36,366 --> 00:34:38,334
I loved them. They loved me.
575
00:34:38,368 --> 00:34:41,872
You mustn't be too unhappy.
They wouldn't want you to be, would they?
576
00:34:41,955 --> 00:34:44,208
- Would they?
- No.
577
00:34:45,292 --> 00:34:49,297
And they told me once,
they said if anything happened to them...
578
00:34:49,421 --> 00:34:51,264
I mustn't be unhappy...
579
00:34:51,923 --> 00:34:56,895
because they were doing
what they wanted to do, and if they...
580
00:34:58,471 --> 00:35:02,442
If anything happened,
it would happen to them both...
581
00:35:02,892 --> 00:35:05,520
at the same time, the way they wanted it.
582
00:35:05,604 --> 00:35:07,072
There, you see?
583
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:08,777
Yes.
584
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:12,823
- So I shouldn't cry, should I?
- No.
585
00:35:13,111 --> 00:35:15,079
They wouldn't like it.
586
00:35:15,196 --> 00:35:18,291
- They died the way they wanted.
- That's right.
587
00:35:18,325 --> 00:35:22,046
So I guess I'm only crying for myself...
588
00:35:23,246 --> 00:35:24,589
because they're gone...
589
00:35:24,664 --> 00:35:27,258
-and because I'm lonely.
- No, don't, Jennie.
590
00:35:27,751 --> 00:35:30,300
But maybe I won't always be lonely.
591
00:35:31,254 --> 00:35:33,052
I don't know why...
592
00:35:33,590 --> 00:35:36,514
but I don't think I will be lonely very long...
593
00:35:36,551 --> 00:35:39,555
because I'm hurrying. I'm hurrying fast now.
594
00:35:40,013 --> 00:35:43,392
- My aunt is sending me to a convent and--
- A convent?
595
00:35:44,684 --> 00:35:47,028
- You want to go?
- Of course I do.
596
00:35:47,103 --> 00:35:50,277
After that, I'll be grown up,
don't you understand?
597
00:35:50,398 --> 00:35:52,571
No, Jennie, I don't understand.
598
00:35:52,651 --> 00:35:54,824
I wish I did, but I don't understand any of it.
599
00:35:54,861 --> 00:35:58,365
Each time I see you, you've changed.
You're older.
600
00:35:58,865 --> 00:36:02,961
You talk about things that happened,
well, that happened long ago.
601
00:36:03,286 --> 00:36:04,583
Did they?
602
00:36:05,497 --> 00:36:08,000
Sometimes I kind of think that, too.
603
00:36:08,792 --> 00:36:11,636
But maybe that's because
I have to find something.
604
00:36:12,962 --> 00:36:14,430
Find what?
605
00:36:15,006 --> 00:36:16,599
I'm not sure.
606
00:36:18,301 --> 00:36:20,429
But I think I'll know someday.
607
00:36:21,137 --> 00:36:23,686
I think I'll know when I find it.
608
00:36:24,683 --> 00:36:27,653
Do you know what? I think you'll know, too.
609
00:36:28,353 --> 00:36:29,730
I hope so.
610
00:36:30,772 --> 00:36:34,493
You'll wait for me, won't you?
You'll give me a little more time?
611
00:36:34,567 --> 00:36:36,240
All right, Jennie.
612
00:36:38,113 --> 00:36:39,330
Listen.
613
00:36:40,782 --> 00:36:44,161
It's the stars. Can't you hear them?
614
00:36:48,498 --> 00:36:50,796
Listen to the stars coming out.
615
00:37:12,188 --> 00:37:15,818
Cold, cold months
followed each other that year.
616
00:37:16,401 --> 00:37:21,077
From the mystery which surrounded Jennie,
my thoughts turned themselves away.
617
00:37:21,364 --> 00:37:24,584
It was not in my hands,
nothing was in my hands...
618
00:37:25,076 --> 00:37:28,922
any more than I could bring
the spring nearer before its time...
619
00:37:29,038 --> 00:37:33,384
or keep the winter from clinging to the earth
with a bitter grip.
620
00:37:34,711 --> 00:37:35,928
Skipper!
621
00:37:45,054 --> 00:37:48,228
- You bad boy. Hello, Adams.
- Hello, Mr. Matthews.
622
00:37:48,308 --> 00:37:50,936
He always runs away
when we get near the park.
623
00:37:50,977 --> 00:37:52,775
Thank you very much for catching him.
624
00:37:52,854 --> 00:37:54,982
I didn't catch him.
He just ran right up to me.
625
00:37:55,023 --> 00:37:57,822
That's a great compliment from Skipper.
626
00:37:57,859 --> 00:38:02,035
He doesn't usually take to strangers,
unless he thinks they're in trouble.
627
00:38:02,113 --> 00:38:03,410
Trouble?
628
00:38:05,366 --> 00:38:07,710
What kind of trouble
could he have sensed about me?
629
00:38:07,744 --> 00:38:11,715
I suppose most artists go through
something of the sort, sooner or later.
630
00:38:11,748 --> 00:38:15,594
It's not enough for them just
to live and paint, and have enough...
631
00:38:15,919 --> 00:38:18,092
or nearly enough, to eat.
632
00:38:18,129 --> 00:38:19,221
No.
633
00:38:19,422 --> 00:38:23,552
Sooner or later, they want recognition.
They want to sell their work.
634
00:38:23,968 --> 00:38:27,848
Good men, even great men,
have failed to do that.
635
00:38:28,473 --> 00:38:32,444
But I don't think
that's all that's bothering you.
636
00:38:33,686 --> 00:38:37,407
Mr. Matthews was right.
There was something else.
637
00:38:37,482 --> 00:38:40,452
My memory was beginning
to play tricks on me.
638
00:38:40,485 --> 00:38:43,455
I was seized by memories so urgent...
639
00:38:43,488 --> 00:38:46,867
that they were more real to me
than what was before me.
640
00:38:52,205 --> 00:38:54,708
Everything reminded me of Jennie.
641
00:39:04,175 --> 00:39:08,225
"Where I come from, nobody knows
And where I'm going, everyone goes"
642
00:39:10,723 --> 00:39:13,977
Finally, spring broke through.
I tried to work.
643
00:39:14,143 --> 00:39:16,862
But mostly I was content to do nothing.
644
00:39:17,063 --> 00:39:19,816
I knew in my heart
that I would never be anything...
645
00:39:19,858 --> 00:39:22,862
until, and unless, Jennie returned.
646
00:39:25,029 --> 00:39:29,409
I needed to tell someone,
and who was there to tell but Spinney?
647
00:39:30,118 --> 00:39:33,839
Maybe I will paint
only one important painting in my life...
648
00:39:33,872 --> 00:39:36,045
but that much I know I can do.
649
00:39:36,291 --> 00:39:38,339
- A portrait of Jennie?
- Yes.
650
00:39:38,418 --> 00:39:41,718
It's the first and only thing
I've ever been sure of in my life.
651
00:39:41,796 --> 00:39:44,345
- But you couldn't do it without her.
- Of course not.
652
00:39:44,340 --> 00:39:47,139
Suppose she doesn't make
another appearance?
653
00:39:48,720 --> 00:39:52,850
- I can't even think of that.
- I didn't realize how much you needed her.
654
00:39:52,891 --> 00:39:56,646
It took you a long time to find something
to bring your talent to life.
655
00:39:56,644 --> 00:39:58,191
You couldn't find it, so--
656
00:39:58,271 --> 00:40:01,696
So you think I created her,
because I needed her for--
657
00:40:01,733 --> 00:40:03,735
An inspiration? Perhaps.
658
00:40:04,152 --> 00:40:08,032
Maybe you really saw her, maybe you didn't.
What's the difference?
659
00:40:08,114 --> 00:40:12,665
As you grow older, you'll learn to believe
in lots of things you can't see.
660
00:40:14,203 --> 00:40:16,797
Better get that canvas ready for her.
661
00:40:22,587 --> 00:40:23,884
Come in.
662
00:40:26,382 --> 00:40:27,850
- Hiya, Mac.
- Gus.
663
00:40:27,884 --> 00:40:31,479
It's a grand day outside, for New York.
What are you doing in here?
664
00:40:31,512 --> 00:40:34,982
- Preparing a canvas for a portrait.
- You don't tell me.
665
00:40:35,642 --> 00:40:39,021
- So that's the way you do it?
- That's the way you do it.
666
00:40:45,818 --> 00:40:47,786
Speaking of paintings...
667
00:40:49,364 --> 00:40:52,117
- I dropped in at Moore's yesterday.
- I know.
668
00:40:53,368 --> 00:40:56,212
He's upset
because I haven't finished the job.
669
00:40:56,287 --> 00:40:59,757
- After all, you made a deal, Mac.
- I let him down, huh?
670
00:40:59,916 --> 00:41:02,169
Mick Collins is a little upset, too, Mac.
671
00:41:02,210 --> 00:41:06,431
Waiting to lead his men into battle,
and having only half a leg to stand on.
672
00:41:06,422 --> 00:41:08,845
You tell Moore I'll be in soon.
673
00:41:10,510 --> 00:41:13,514
- I'll finish it somehow.
- Sure.
674
00:41:16,265 --> 00:41:18,313
Don't think I'm ungrateful.
675
00:41:18,851 --> 00:41:21,821
It's all right, Mac. As my mother used to say:
676
00:41:22,188 --> 00:41:26,534
"if there's stardust in your head,
sure there's a jumble in your soul."
677
00:41:45,628 --> 00:41:46,880
You were right, Gus.
678
00:41:46,963 --> 00:41:49,466
- There isn't standing room at the bar!
- I told you.
679
00:41:49,465 --> 00:41:51,559
It was a grand idea.
680
00:41:51,634 --> 00:41:55,355
Quiet, everybody.
The unveiling's about to take place.
681
00:42:00,435 --> 00:42:04,406
There's a lad to lead us all
Says the Shan Van Vocht
682
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:08,451
'Tis Mick Collins brave and tall
Says the Shan Van Vocht
683
00:42:08,526 --> 00:42:12,952
And will Ireland then be free?
Says the Shan Van Vocht
684
00:42:12,989 --> 00:42:15,538
Yes, Ireland shall be free
685
00:42:15,616 --> 00:42:18,916
From the center to the sea
686
00:42:18,953 --> 00:42:27,259
Then hurrah for Liberty!
Says the Shan Van Vocht
687
00:42:27,795 --> 00:42:29,763
Hurrah for Eben Adams!
688
00:42:31,966 --> 00:42:35,061
Hurrah for Eben Adams, hurrah.
689
00:42:35,720 --> 00:42:39,770
The cheers were hollow in my ears,
for I knew the mural was worthless.
690
00:42:40,183 --> 00:42:42,936
I knew in my heart that I was worthless.
691
00:42:44,103 --> 00:42:45,946
Suddenly I felt fear.
692
00:42:47,065 --> 00:42:50,615
The world seemed curiously empty
and silent.
693
00:42:51,069 --> 00:42:55,540
One note would bring it all to fife.
One note would make an instrument of it.
694
00:42:56,741 --> 00:42:59,961
But apparently,
that note was not to be played.
695
00:43:00,411 --> 00:43:03,881
The world of my art
was to remain an empty box.
696
00:43:23,351 --> 00:43:26,104
No, it isn't true.
697
00:43:27,688 --> 00:43:31,909
- It can't be you.
- Yes, it is. See?
698
00:43:32,985 --> 00:43:35,784
I tried to get here sooner, but I couldn't.
699
00:43:35,822 --> 00:43:40,578
- You're beautiful! You've grown so.
- Of course I have. I'm hurrying.
700
00:43:40,618 --> 00:43:42,791
I'm in my first year of college at the convent.
701
00:43:42,870 --> 00:43:44,668
Wonderful. The dress...
702
00:43:44,747 --> 00:43:47,421
- Do you like it? It's our Sunday dress.
- It's lovely.
703
00:43:47,458 --> 00:43:49,802
Look, you can see the bridge from here.
704
00:44:00,513 --> 00:44:03,016
Eben, I've thought of you so much...
705
00:44:03,516 --> 00:44:04,938
it could fill an eternity.
706
00:44:04,976 --> 00:44:06,694
What did you think?
707
00:44:06,686 --> 00:44:08,939
About how wonderful it all is...
708
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:12,404
how I've searched and searched...
709
00:44:13,025 --> 00:44:17,030
and now, how we'll be together always.
710
00:44:17,822 --> 00:44:19,620
I'm almost sure...
711
00:44:20,199 --> 00:44:22,497
- Do you know what Emily wants to know?
- What?
712
00:44:22,577 --> 00:44:24,830
When you're going to marry me.
713
00:44:25,163 --> 00:44:27,211
Don't laugh at me, Eben.
714
00:44:27,623 --> 00:44:30,877
I know I'm not old enough yet,
but I will be soon.
715
00:44:31,961 --> 00:44:33,429
What's that?
716
00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:36,008
That's a sketch of Radio City.
717
00:44:36,048 --> 00:44:38,847
Radio City? I've never heard of it.
718
00:44:40,261 --> 00:44:43,731
It hasn't been built very long. Do you like it?
719
00:44:51,022 --> 00:44:53,775
- That's strange.
- What's the matter, Jennie?
720
00:44:55,276 --> 00:44:59,577
- That's Land's End Light.
- That's right. Land's End Light.
721
00:45:00,364 --> 00:45:02,992
How do you know?
Have you ever been there?
722
00:45:05,328 --> 00:45:06,830
I don't know.
723
00:45:07,830 --> 00:45:09,082
I think...
724
00:45:09,165 --> 00:45:12,294
It's an old deserted lighthouse
up on Cape Cod.
725
00:45:12,668 --> 00:45:15,171
I did that sketch several years ago.
726
00:45:16,547 --> 00:45:18,345
It makes me unhappy.
727
00:45:20,635 --> 00:45:23,263
In that case, we'll just put it aside.
728
00:45:25,306 --> 00:45:27,400
Look, Jennie, the canvas.
729
00:45:28,517 --> 00:45:31,236
- Canvas?
- The canvas for your portrait.
730
00:45:31,646 --> 00:45:34,274
Your portrait. The one we planned.
731
00:45:35,441 --> 00:45:37,535
Eben, you're going to do it.
732
00:45:37,610 --> 00:45:41,410
I was sure you'd be here one day.
I've been able to do nothing else. Sit here.
733
00:45:41,447 --> 00:45:42,994
- Over here?
- Please.
734
00:45:43,032 --> 00:45:45,000
Right there, where I've dreamed you'd sit.
735
00:45:45,076 --> 00:45:47,750
- The girls will be so jealous.
- Turn your head.
736
00:45:47,828 --> 00:45:50,047
Some of my friends take the veil
next Sunday.
737
00:45:50,081 --> 00:45:52,300
It will be lovely to watch.
Will you come with me?
738
00:45:52,375 --> 00:45:55,003
I'd love to. Now please hold still.
Turn your head.
739
00:45:55,044 --> 00:45:58,594
A few of my classmates will be leaving, too.
I hate to have them go.
740
00:45:58,631 --> 00:46:00,133
Jennie, your hand.
741
00:46:01,717 --> 00:46:03,344
Turn your head.
742
00:46:05,221 --> 00:46:07,098
There, hold that.
743
00:46:08,307 --> 00:46:11,231
Eben, promise you won't forget me.
744
00:46:40,923 --> 00:46:42,220
Hello, Eben!
745
00:46:52,226 --> 00:46:55,321
- Hello, Eben.
- Hello, Jennie. I was afraid...
746
00:46:56,147 --> 00:46:57,615
you might not be here.
747
00:46:57,648 --> 00:46:59,616
I told you I'd be here.
748
00:46:59,984 --> 00:47:03,158
We'd better hurry
if we want to see the ceremony.
749
00:47:55,039 --> 00:47:58,339
See, those with the candles
are the ones who are taking the veil.
750
00:47:58,417 --> 00:48:00,840
Our teachers are in back of them.
751
00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:04,595
The first one is old Sister Mary Margaret.
She teaches history.
752
00:48:04,715 --> 00:48:08,686
Then next to her is Sister Mary Euphemia,
who teaches science.
753
00:48:11,806 --> 00:48:16,277
And over there, near the entrance,
is my favorite, Sister Mary of Mercy.
754
00:48:21,273 --> 00:48:24,072
I'm so glad you're waiting for me, Eben.
755
00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:30,783
Give us our daily bread.
And forgive our trespasses...
756
00:48:30,825 --> 00:48:32,827
as we forgive those that trespass against us.
757
00:48:32,868 --> 00:48:35,621
Lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. Amen.
758
00:48:41,252 --> 00:48:43,050
Isn't it beautiful?
759
00:48:45,089 --> 00:48:48,764
I always feel a little closer
to the truth of things in here.
760
00:48:50,469 --> 00:48:52,847
As if, pretty soon...
761
00:48:53,639 --> 00:48:55,437
I would understand.
762
00:49:10,406 --> 00:49:12,659
How beautiful the world is, Eben.
763
00:49:12,700 --> 00:49:15,544
The sun goes down in the same lovely sky...
764
00:49:15,744 --> 00:49:18,998
just as it did yesterday, and will tomorrow.
765
00:49:19,415 --> 00:49:21,463
When is tomorrow, Jennie?
766
00:49:21,584 --> 00:49:24,588
Does it matter? It's always.
767
00:49:25,296 --> 00:49:27,424
This was tomorrow once.
768
00:49:28,090 --> 00:49:32,095
"Where I come from, nobody knows
And where I'm going, everything goes"
769
00:49:32,178 --> 00:49:33,646
I've heard that somewhere.
770
00:49:33,721 --> 00:49:36,725
Of course you have.
You sang it to me that first day in the park.
771
00:49:36,807 --> 00:49:38,229
Did I? I've forgotten.
772
00:49:38,267 --> 00:49:41,111
"The wind blows, the sea flows
773
00:49:42,730 --> 00:49:44,198
"And God knows"
774
00:49:45,024 --> 00:49:46,947
I think he knows, Eben.
775
00:49:58,120 --> 00:50:00,248
So this is where the master works.
776
00:50:00,289 --> 00:50:03,793
Well, it isn't much of a place.
Sit over here, Spinney.
777
00:50:09,715 --> 00:50:11,388
Of course, it isn't finished yet.
778
00:50:11,467 --> 00:50:13,469
Don't be coy. Let's see it.
779
00:50:22,895 --> 00:50:24,488
What do you think?
780
00:50:27,900 --> 00:50:31,154
Well, Adams,
you've found what you were looking for.
781
00:50:41,497 --> 00:50:42,999
Do you like it?
782
00:50:43,249 --> 00:50:46,219
Adams, I've been selling pictures
for many years.
783
00:50:46,252 --> 00:50:50,382
And in my business, it's always a dream
that someday you'll come across...
784
00:50:50,464 --> 00:50:53,559
shall we say, a great picture.
785
00:50:53,968 --> 00:50:57,188
This is, I feel now,
a sort of fulfillment of mine.
786
00:50:58,514 --> 00:51:01,393
- He means he likes it.
- I'm glad.
787
00:51:01,767 --> 00:51:05,988
Do you remember my saying there ought
to be something eternal about a woman?
788
00:51:06,021 --> 00:51:08,149
Something not of the present,
nor of the past.
789
00:51:08,190 --> 00:51:09,863
Well, here you've got it.
790
00:51:09,942 --> 00:51:12,695
It's the face of that same little girl.
791
00:51:12,778 --> 00:51:16,624
Yet what you've seen in that face
is without age or time.
792
00:51:17,825 --> 00:51:20,078
It isn't finished. It really isn't.
793
00:51:20,119 --> 00:51:23,464
Take it easy, Adams. It's a great picture.
794
00:51:26,917 --> 00:51:31,718
Carried forward on a wave of exultation,
I worked eagerly to complete the portrait.
795
00:51:32,047 --> 00:51:36,553
The face framed in its dark hair,
the brown eyes tenderly dreaming.
796
00:51:37,261 --> 00:51:38,638
I began to realize...
797
00:51:38,721 --> 00:51:42,442
that I was caught by an enchantment
beyond time and change.
798
00:51:43,183 --> 00:51:45,481
I knew at last that love is endless...
799
00:51:45,561 --> 00:51:48,656
and today's little happiness only part of it.
800
00:52:01,118 --> 00:52:03,587
Somehow I knew I'd find you here.
801
00:52:03,662 --> 00:52:05,664
I've looked for you here so often.
802
00:52:05,748 --> 00:52:09,878
I had to see you tonight.
You know, I've just graduated from college--
803
00:52:09,918 --> 00:52:13,092
That's wonderful.
Now we can be together always.
804
00:52:16,759 --> 00:52:19,012
I'm afraid we'll have to wait a little longer.
805
00:52:19,053 --> 00:52:23,684
You see, my aunt is ill, and she wants me
to go away with her for the summer.
806
00:52:25,976 --> 00:52:28,980
- When do you have to go?
- Tomorrow.
807
00:52:29,104 --> 00:52:31,732
- I couldn't go without saying goodbye.
- Goodbye?
808
00:52:31,774 --> 00:52:34,118
It will only be for a few months.
809
00:52:34,443 --> 00:52:36,946
Anyway, we have until the morning.
810
00:52:37,571 --> 00:52:39,289
I think a little more.
811
00:52:39,365 --> 00:52:43,040
Jennie, I'll be lost without you.
812
00:52:44,119 --> 00:52:46,213
No, don't say that, Eben.
813
00:52:46,580 --> 00:52:48,753
We can't both of us be lost.
814
00:52:51,919 --> 00:52:54,342
Look at the moonlight on the water.
815
00:52:55,130 --> 00:52:57,724
It makes a pathway across the river.
816
00:52:59,051 --> 00:53:01,850
The Jersey Hills are over there, aren't they?
817
00:53:01,887 --> 00:53:03,480
In the distance.
818
00:53:03,555 --> 00:53:06,058
You say it sadly. Aren't you happy?
819
00:53:06,392 --> 00:53:08,065
I've been thinking.
820
00:53:08,102 --> 00:53:12,733
No matter how far away
that kind of distance is, it can be reached.
821
00:53:13,399 --> 00:53:16,494
Over there,
beyond the hills one can drive to.
822
00:53:16,902 --> 00:53:20,202
North among the pines, eastward to the sea.
823
00:53:20,781 --> 00:53:24,752
It's the only kind of distance
I ever knew anything about before.
824
00:53:25,077 --> 00:53:28,331
But now I feel
there's another kind of distance.
825
00:53:29,248 --> 00:53:31,046
A crueler distance.
826
00:53:31,583 --> 00:53:34,883
A distance of yesterday and tomorrow.
And it frightens me.
827
00:53:37,881 --> 00:53:40,851
It frightens me
that there's no way to bridge it.
828
00:53:40,884 --> 00:53:44,559
There is. At this moment, I know there is.
829
00:53:46,724 --> 00:53:48,692
I want it to be forever.
830
00:53:48,976 --> 00:53:52,196
It will be. Have faith.
831
00:54:01,864 --> 00:54:03,662
How still it is.
832
00:54:04,616 --> 00:54:05,868
Listen.
833
00:54:07,494 --> 00:54:09,496
The whole city sleeping.
834
00:54:11,039 --> 00:54:15,010
- No one left in the world but us.
- No one but us.
835
00:54:27,931 --> 00:54:29,899
Life's beginning, again.
836
00:54:31,518 --> 00:54:33,987
Look, the little boat put its lights out.
837
00:54:34,021 --> 00:54:36,274
The night's over. It's tomorrow.
838
00:54:36,315 --> 00:54:39,239
I'm not going to think of this summer,
or the future at all.
839
00:54:39,318 --> 00:54:40,911
I'll leave that to you.
840
00:54:40,986 --> 00:54:43,660
Why we met, how it came about,
I don't know.
841
00:54:43,697 --> 00:54:45,699
I know we were meant for each other.
842
00:54:45,783 --> 00:54:48,457
The strands of our lives
are woven together...
843
00:54:48,535 --> 00:54:51,755
and neither the world nor time
can tear them apart.
844
00:54:51,997 --> 00:54:54,625
Eben, I wish you'd finish my portrait.
845
00:55:06,970 --> 00:55:09,940
Do you think people can know
what lies ahead?
846
00:55:10,974 --> 00:55:13,818
I mean, what's going to happen to them?
847
00:55:15,187 --> 00:55:18,441
You know how you feel sad
about things sometimes?
848
00:55:19,358 --> 00:55:21,986
About things that have never happened?
849
00:55:24,196 --> 00:55:27,826
Perhaps they're the things
that are going to happen to us.
850
00:55:29,117 --> 00:55:30,960
Perhaps we know it...
851
00:55:31,787 --> 00:55:34,916
and we're just afraid
to admit it to ourselves.
852
00:55:36,625 --> 00:55:38,468
I guess that's silly.
853
00:55:39,294 --> 00:55:41,638
I guess it's just my funny mind.
854
00:55:51,056 --> 00:55:53,058
Jennie, I...
855
00:55:57,437 --> 00:55:58,984
Jennie?
856
00:55:58,981 --> 00:56:00,983
- Jennie, Jennie!
- Oh hello, Eben.
857
00:56:03,861 --> 00:56:05,863
- Where are we?
- Together.
858
00:56:07,531 --> 00:56:10,831
Poor darling, you must be worn out.
I'm sorry.
859
00:56:11,451 --> 00:56:14,580
- I fell asleep.
- Yes. Come here.
860
00:56:16,707 --> 00:56:18,630
Look.
861
00:56:19,751 --> 00:56:21,219
It's finished.
862
00:56:26,258 --> 00:56:29,057
- Is it really of me?
- It's you.
863
00:56:29,928 --> 00:56:31,805
A portrait of Jennie.
864
00:56:33,849 --> 00:56:36,944
- I think it's a fine painting.
- Do you?
865
00:56:38,937 --> 00:56:41,110
I think it will make you famous.
866
00:56:42,399 --> 00:56:45,027
I think someday it will hang in a museum...
867
00:56:45,736 --> 00:56:49,240
and people will come
from all over the world to see it.
868
00:56:49,656 --> 00:56:53,456
If they do,
it won't be my work they've come to see.
869
00:56:55,537 --> 00:56:58,131
- It will be you.
- Thank you, Eben.
870
00:56:58,874 --> 00:57:00,842
And now you must sign it.
871
00:57:12,095 --> 00:57:13,688
Eben Adams.
872
00:57:17,893 --> 00:57:20,521
I want always just to sit
and watch you paint.
873
00:57:20,604 --> 00:57:23,733
Now that I've found the perfect model,
I'll paint her again.
874
00:57:23,815 --> 00:57:28,662
I didn't mean that. I mean, I want you
to paint all the beautiful things in the world.
875
00:57:29,112 --> 00:57:31,740
You're the most beautiful thing in the world.
876
00:57:33,700 --> 00:57:36,374
But, Eben, these pictures of yours...
877
00:57:37,204 --> 00:57:40,378
of the sea, and Land's End Light...
878
00:57:41,083 --> 00:57:44,713
each time I see them,
my heart seems to stop.
879
00:57:44,878 --> 00:57:48,758
Curious. I suppose it is
a forlorn sort of place.
880
00:57:49,341 --> 00:57:51,844
Don't let's talk about it anymore.
881
00:57:52,344 --> 00:57:56,224
- Tell me about Paris. Did you study there?
- Yes, indeed.
882
00:57:56,974 --> 00:58:00,399
Eben, I wish we could be there together.
It would be such fun.
883
00:58:00,435 --> 00:58:01,903
We'll do it, Jennie.
884
00:58:02,187 --> 00:58:05,782
I'll take you to the Luxembourg,
then to the fair in Fontainebleau.
885
00:58:05,857 --> 00:58:07,404
Yes, Eben, yes.
886
00:58:07,693 --> 00:58:10,537
We'll go out to the forest of Saint Cloud
in the spring...
887
00:58:10,570 --> 00:58:12,322
and drink new wine under the trees.
888
00:58:12,406 --> 00:58:14,704
I feel as though we were there already...
889
00:58:14,741 --> 00:58:17,870
as though we'd been spending
our whole lives together.
890
00:58:23,125 --> 00:58:26,004
What is it that makes a man
and a woman know that...
891
00:58:26,294 --> 00:58:30,595
of all the other men and women
in the world, they belong to each other'?
892
00:58:31,008 --> 00:58:34,683
Is it just chance, their being alive
in the world at the same time?
893
00:58:36,138 --> 00:58:38,357
Do you think it's possible...
894
00:58:38,765 --> 00:58:42,395
that there might have been others
in other times whom we might have loved...
895
00:58:42,477 --> 00:58:44,354
who might have loved us?
896
00:58:44,396 --> 00:58:45,898
No, no others.
897
00:58:45,981 --> 00:58:49,360
Among all the people who lived
from world's end to world's end...
898
00:58:49,401 --> 00:58:53,406
there's just one you must love,
one you must seek, until you find him.
899
00:58:54,531 --> 00:58:56,784
You, Eben. You, my darling.
900
00:59:01,955 --> 00:59:04,253
- I must go.
- Please don't go, Jennie.
901
00:59:04,499 --> 00:59:08,299
I don't want to,
but we'll meet again when summer ends.
902
00:59:08,754 --> 00:59:12,384
- Are you sure, Jennie?
- I don't know quite where.
903
00:59:14,176 --> 00:59:17,430
The wind blows, the sea flows.
904
00:59:18,930 --> 00:59:21,649
I want to be sure. Tell me you're sure.
905
00:59:22,517 --> 00:59:24,064
I'm sure, Jennie.
906
00:59:24,936 --> 00:59:26,688
I'll get my things.
907
00:59:33,904 --> 00:59:36,532
- What a lovely scarf.
- It's yours, Jennie.
908
00:59:37,532 --> 00:59:38,749
A present for me?
909
00:59:38,825 --> 00:59:41,874
I thought you'd like it.
I've been saving it for a long time.
910
00:59:41,912 --> 00:59:44,131
Ever since we first met in the park.
911
01:00:31,336 --> 01:00:34,715
In the afternoons,
the sun slanted lower over the city.
912
01:00:35,674 --> 01:00:38,177
Sometimes at evening,
a wedge of wild duck...
913
01:00:38,218 --> 01:00:41,222
wavered southward
against the Manhattan sky.
914
01:00:42,389 --> 01:00:46,610
Summer turned away into fall,
but Jennie did not return.
915
01:00:47,727 --> 01:00:49,900
I felt a dreadful loneliness.
916
01:00:51,022 --> 01:00:52,615
Where was she?
917
01:00:54,526 --> 01:00:57,780
Yonder, yonder
918
01:00:58,864 --> 01:01:01,868
Was the home of my sweetheart
919
01:01:02,242 --> 01:01:05,371
Yonder, yonder
920
01:01:06,079 --> 01:01:09,424
'Twas so long ago
921
01:01:10,792 --> 01:01:13,887
I remember my lover
922
01:01:14,796 --> 01:01:17,800
And the kiss of no other
923
01:01:18,300 --> 01:01:22,021
No other love
924
01:01:23,430 --> 01:01:28,231
Yonder, yonder
925
01:01:29,603 --> 01:01:33,028
Was so long ago
926
01:01:34,900 --> 01:01:36,902
Was so long ago
927
01:01:47,370 --> 01:01:50,214
I suppose I ought to be minding
my own business...
928
01:01:50,290 --> 01:01:53,169
but you're carrying quite a load, Mac,
all by yourself.
929
01:01:53,210 --> 01:01:55,008
Gus, you don't understand.
930
01:01:55,587 --> 01:01:58,090
Supposing, now remember,
I'm only supposing--
931
01:01:58,173 --> 01:01:59,675
Supposing what, Gus'?
932
01:01:59,925 --> 01:02:02,053
Supposing she didn't ever come back?
933
01:02:02,802 --> 01:02:04,224
She's got to.
934
01:02:05,430 --> 01:02:08,775
- Can't be that--
- Yeah, but if something happened to her?
935
01:02:09,100 --> 01:02:12,104
Don't you have to go on living, pal?
Don't you?
936
01:02:13,271 --> 01:02:15,820
You've never believed anything,
have you, about Jennie?
937
01:02:15,899 --> 01:02:19,028
- Don't be putting words in my mouth.
- It doesn't matter.
938
01:02:19,486 --> 01:02:23,036
Doesn't matter whether you
or anybody believes it...
939
01:02:24,199 --> 01:02:26,497
-because I know.
- Sure you do.
940
01:02:28,495 --> 01:02:31,374
But weren't you telling me
she goes to a convent?
941
01:02:31,998 --> 01:02:34,547
She's not there anymore. She graduated.
942
01:02:35,210 --> 01:02:38,384
Yes, but the sisters are great ones
for keeping in touch.
943
01:02:39,005 --> 01:02:42,350
She liked the sisters.
There was one who was her favorite.
944
01:02:42,425 --> 01:02:43,677
Why don't you ask her?
945
01:02:43,718 --> 01:02:46,642
Jennie said she felt closer to the truth there.
946
01:02:46,680 --> 01:02:50,935
I'll drive you out first thing in the morning,
if you'll promise to sleep well tonight.
947
01:02:50,976 --> 01:02:54,947
- You have to let me owe you for the ride.
- Your money don't signify.
948
01:02:55,438 --> 01:02:59,568
As my mother used to say, "if you've got
friendship in your heart, sure you don't--�
949
01:03:00,151 --> 01:03:02,449
What was it my mother used to say?
950
01:03:08,326 --> 01:03:11,330
I don't know what I expected to find
at the convent.
951
01:03:11,830 --> 01:03:15,880
I knew only that it was there
that Jennie had found some inner truth.
952
01:03:16,668 --> 01:03:20,923
It was there that she had said to me,
"I think he knows, Eben."
953
01:03:22,007 --> 01:03:26,478
For the first time since I had last seen
Jennie, I had a feeling of not being alone.
954
01:03:26,886 --> 01:03:30,265
A feeling that the world
and Jennie and I were one.
955
01:03:31,099 --> 01:03:33,898
What if, for a while, we had lost our way?
956
01:03:34,311 --> 01:03:36,734
Yesterday rose again ahead of us.
957
01:03:37,564 --> 01:03:41,660
We had found beauty together,
and we could never lose it.
958
01:03:45,739 --> 01:03:47,707
What was it you wished to see me about?
959
01:03:47,741 --> 01:03:51,120
I wanted to ask you about a girl
who graduated from here.
960
01:03:53,121 --> 01:03:56,625
I thought, possibly, you might have
some information as to where she is.
961
01:03:56,666 --> 01:04:00,796
I might. We often keep in touch
with the girls after they leave.
962
01:04:01,671 --> 01:04:04,299
- What was her name?
- Jennie Appleton.
963
01:04:06,092 --> 01:04:07,685
Jennie Appleton'?
964
01:04:08,345 --> 01:04:11,098
Yes. You remember her, don't you?
965
01:04:12,932 --> 01:04:16,186
Yes, I remember Jennie very well.
966
01:04:16,853 --> 01:04:20,949
Even though she was not of our faith,
Jennie was one of my favorite pupils.
967
01:04:21,441 --> 01:04:26,242
A lovely girl,
with a strange, spiritual beauty...
968
01:04:26,780 --> 01:04:30,410
and a gentle kind of sadness
that always troubled me.
969
01:04:30,950 --> 01:04:34,750
I think that describes her perfectly.
Have you any idea where she is?
970
01:04:35,455 --> 01:04:37,048
Why, Jennie died.
971
01:04:39,417 --> 01:04:41,840
- When?
- Years ago.
972
01:04:44,714 --> 01:04:47,092
I'm afraid I've shocked you.
973
01:04:48,718 --> 01:04:50,140
No.
974
01:04:51,096 --> 01:04:53,815
We obviously aren't speaking
of the same person.
975
01:04:53,848 --> 01:04:55,100
Did you know her family?
976
01:04:55,141 --> 01:04:57,735
No, I just know
they were killed in an accident.
977
01:04:57,769 --> 01:05:00,397
A wire broke?
They were trapeze performers?
978
01:05:01,439 --> 01:05:04,488
I'm afraid it must be
the same Jennie Appleton.
979
01:05:04,692 --> 01:05:08,162
Her aunt brought her to us,
shortly after her parents' death.
980
01:05:08,321 --> 01:05:10,824
She stayed with us until she graduated.
981
01:05:10,949 --> 01:05:14,670
Then her aunt came and took her up
to New England for the summer.
982
01:05:14,953 --> 01:05:17,376
We corresponded a great deal.
983
01:05:18,706 --> 01:05:21,300
Would you care to have me read you
one of her letters?
984
01:05:21,334 --> 01:05:22,551
Please.
985
01:05:26,631 --> 01:05:28,429
Won't you sit down?
986
01:05:33,847 --> 01:05:36,726
I was so touched by her letters
that I saved them.
987
01:05:36,766 --> 01:05:39,269
This is the last one she ever wrote to me.
988
01:05:40,270 --> 01:05:44,241
"My dear Sister Mary of Mercy,
we are returning very soon.
989
01:05:44,441 --> 01:05:47,160
"The summer has been a very long
and lonely one.
990
01:05:47,193 --> 01:05:51,664
"How I want to see you and sit and talk
to you about all that has been worrying me.
991
01:05:52,282 --> 01:05:56,037
"I know you tried to teach me
how beautiful the world is...
992
01:05:56,244 --> 01:05:59,544
"and how it keeps on
being beautiful every day...
993
01:05:59,914 --> 01:06:02,008
"no matter what happens to us.
994
01:06:02,584 --> 01:06:05,679
"But sometimes I have the dreadful feeling...
995
01:06:05,712 --> 01:06:09,057
"that this beauty
will never be complete for me...
996
01:06:09,549 --> 01:06:13,599
"that I will never find someone to love
who will love me.
997
01:06:14,429 --> 01:06:17,729
"It's a thought that terrifies me, dear Sister.
998
01:06:17,765 --> 01:06:21,611
"And I need your comfort
and your wisdom to help me.
999
01:06:22,228 --> 01:06:23,901
"Your loving Jennie."
1000
01:06:26,900 --> 01:06:30,780
That was the year the terrible tidal wave
hit the New England coast.
1001
01:06:31,404 --> 01:06:35,125
October 5th. I remember it well.
1002
01:06:36,409 --> 01:06:39,663
I always offer my communion
for Jennie on that day.
1003
01:06:40,872 --> 01:06:45,127
I afterwards learned that Jennie was
in the habit of sailing out every day, alone...
1004
01:06:45,168 --> 01:06:48,172
to a little cove
near an abandoned lighthouse.
1005
01:06:48,588 --> 01:06:50,056
Land's End Light.
1006
01:06:50,089 --> 01:06:52,968
During one of those trips, the wave struck.
1007
01:06:53,259 --> 01:06:56,183
That was the last anyone ever saw of her.
1008
01:06:56,554 --> 01:06:59,057
Land's End Light, that's where I'll find her.
1009
01:06:59,098 --> 01:07:03,399
But Jennie is dead, Mr. Adams.
You must accept that fact.
1010
01:07:03,561 --> 01:07:06,861
- Hard as it may be--
- I won't accept it. Don't tell me she's dead.
1011
01:07:06,898 --> 01:07:10,027
I held her in my arms three months ago,
not ten years ago.
1012
01:07:10,109 --> 01:07:11,702
I love her. I want her back.
1013
01:07:11,778 --> 01:07:14,873
What vision has been vouchsafed to you,
I can't say...
1014
01:07:14,948 --> 01:07:17,246
but don't doubt the ways of Providence.
1015
01:07:17,283 --> 01:07:21,880
You must have faith.
We know so little, so very little.
1016
01:07:21,913 --> 01:07:25,338
I don't mean to be abrupt,
and I'm grateful for your kindness.
1017
01:07:25,625 --> 01:07:28,003
When did you say
that wave struck the coast?
1018
01:07:28,086 --> 01:07:29,133
October 5th.
1019
01:07:29,212 --> 01:07:31,180
- And today is?
- October 1st.
1020
01:07:31,506 --> 01:07:33,053
That leaves me four days.
1021
01:07:33,132 --> 01:07:36,261
But, Mr. Adams, that October 5th
was many years ago.
1022
01:07:36,302 --> 01:07:37,770
Are you so sure?
1023
01:07:38,429 --> 01:07:40,227
You say we know so little.
1024
01:07:40,848 --> 01:07:42,691
You say Jennie's parents were killed.
1025
01:07:42,892 --> 01:07:45,736
I found her sobbing on a bench
the night it happened.
1026
01:07:45,812 --> 01:07:48,736
You say she was a student here.
I visited her here.
1027
01:07:48,940 --> 01:07:51,443
You say she went to New England
with her aunt.
1028
01:07:51,484 --> 01:07:53,953
I was with her just before she left-.
1029
01:07:54,362 --> 01:07:57,707
Then how can you say it all happened
many years ago?
1030
01:07:58,491 --> 01:08:01,415
Yes, we know so little.
1031
01:08:03,204 --> 01:08:06,208
And yet, now, I know a little more.
1032
01:08:07,041 --> 01:08:09,885
I know now the pattern of Jennie's life.
1033
01:08:10,044 --> 01:08:13,389
But I also know that I am part of it.
1034
01:08:14,048 --> 01:08:18,053
She herself said that strands of our lives
were woven together...
1035
01:08:18,136 --> 01:08:20,559
and that neither time nor the world
could break them.
1036
01:08:20,597 --> 01:08:22,520
This I have faith in.
1037
01:08:23,141 --> 01:08:25,394
Thank you, Mother, I must hurry.
1038
01:08:25,643 --> 01:08:27,611
Thank you for your kindness.
1039
01:08:50,710 --> 01:08:53,213
Where have you been keeping yourself?
What's wrong?
1040
01:08:53,296 --> 01:08:55,719
I'm going away, Spinney.
I don't know for how long.
1041
01:08:55,757 --> 01:08:58,761
Here's my portrait of Jennie.
Can you store it till I come back?
1042
01:08:58,801 --> 01:09:00,018
Of course.
1043
01:09:00,094 --> 01:09:02,643
- Where are you going?
- I know where she's going to be.
1044
01:09:02,680 --> 01:09:04,523
I've got to be there waiting for her.
1045
01:09:04,599 --> 01:09:07,569
Little place up on Cape Cod
called Land's End.
1046
01:09:08,353 --> 01:09:10,321
Well, Adams.
1047
01:09:10,730 --> 01:09:13,574
Where have you been?
I've got a lot of commissions for you.
1048
01:09:13,650 --> 01:09:16,278
In that case,
perhaps you'll advance me $100.
1049
01:09:17,654 --> 01:09:19,748
Give him the $100, Mr. Matthews.
1050
01:09:21,199 --> 01:09:23,167
What's the matter?
ls there something wrong?
1051
01:09:23,242 --> 01:09:26,872
- Never mind that. Just pay him.
- As you say, Miss Spinney.
1052
01:09:27,747 --> 01:09:30,375
Thank you. Thanks for everything.
1053
01:09:30,500 --> 01:09:33,128
- Bye, Mr. Matthews.
- Goodbye, my boy. Have a good rest.
1054
01:09:33,211 --> 01:09:35,384
We'll do big things together later.
1055
01:09:35,755 --> 01:09:38,258
Paint me a little church while you're there.
1056
01:09:38,299 --> 01:09:40,802
A little white church with a big steeple.
1057
01:09:41,135 --> 01:09:43,854
And don't get yourself drowned in the sea.
1058
01:09:43,888 --> 01:09:45,356
What makes you say that?
1059
01:09:45,431 --> 01:09:49,356
Men do such foolish things.
I'm afraid of the ocean.
1060
01:09:49,394 --> 01:09:51,772
You're tough. The sea wouldn't get you.
1061
01:09:52,605 --> 01:09:54,983
Tough ones drown, too, you know.
1062
01:09:55,692 --> 01:09:56,818
Bye.
1063
01:10:23,594 --> 01:10:25,267
Any warning of the storm yet?
1064
01:10:25,304 --> 01:10:28,433
- What storm is that?
- The hurricane that's coming up.
1065
01:10:28,516 --> 01:10:31,486
No hurricane coming up around here,
young fella.
1066
01:10:31,561 --> 01:10:33,029
Fair weather.
1067
01:10:33,354 --> 01:10:36,324
That's what it says right there.
1068
01:10:36,357 --> 01:10:39,531
How far in advance would
the barometer show if one were coming up?
1069
01:10:39,610 --> 01:10:40,827
Far enough.
1070
01:10:40,862 --> 01:10:44,287
Didn't show far enough when
we had that hurricane back in the '20s.
1071
01:10:44,323 --> 01:10:45,996
I heard about that hurricane.
1072
01:10:46,075 --> 01:10:48,294
Happened just about this time of year,
didn't it?
1073
01:10:48,369 --> 01:10:49,370
Eh?
1074
01:10:50,163 --> 01:10:51,506
By golly.
1075
01:10:52,415 --> 01:10:55,589
Come to think of it, it was October 5th.
1076
01:10:55,918 --> 01:10:57,295
I remember.
1077
01:10:57,879 --> 01:11:00,473
Because October 4th is my birthday.
1078
01:11:01,549 --> 01:11:02,641
Today.
1079
01:11:02,675 --> 01:11:06,851
I'd like to get out to Land's End Light.
You know where I can charter a boat?
1080
01:11:06,971 --> 01:11:08,439
Land's End Light?
1081
01:11:09,807 --> 01:11:11,855
Can't think of any reason...
1082
01:11:12,477 --> 01:11:14,320
why anybody'd want to go out there.
1083
01:11:14,395 --> 01:11:17,114
Never mind my reasons.
Do you know someone with a boat?
1084
01:11:17,148 --> 01:11:19,446
My pa's got a trim little boat.
1085
01:11:19,525 --> 01:11:22,324
That's fine.
Would you mind taking me to your pa?
1086
01:11:22,612 --> 01:11:23,613
No.
1087
01:11:23,696 --> 01:11:27,451
Come to think about it, I don't think Ma
would like him to rent the boat.
1088
01:11:27,533 --> 01:11:30,161
I reckon you'd better get down and see Eke.
1089
01:11:30,203 --> 01:11:32,547
I've heard he rents his boat sometimes.
1090
01:11:32,580 --> 01:11:34,207
Where will I find Eke?
1091
01:11:34,749 --> 01:11:37,798
It ain't hard to find Eke.
He's always sitting in the same place.
1092
01:11:37,835 --> 01:11:40,258
- Where's that?
- I'll tell you now.
1093
01:11:40,254 --> 01:11:43,758
You go down to the jetty,
and ask for an old codger named...
1094
01:11:49,180 --> 01:11:51,228
Mighty nice of you to rent me a boat.
1095
01:11:51,265 --> 01:11:54,735
You could darn near buy a new one
for what you're paying me.
1096
01:11:55,353 --> 01:11:57,105
What I don't see is...
1097
01:11:57,188 --> 01:12:00,818
how you figure to get her out tomorrow
in all this muck.
1098
01:12:02,652 --> 01:12:04,370
Ain't a breath of wind stirring.
1099
01:12:05,780 --> 01:12:09,080
There'll be wind, all right. Plenty of it.
1100
01:12:09,367 --> 01:12:12,837
Maybe. Never been too sure
about them things.
1101
01:12:13,037 --> 01:12:15,836
Not since that hurricane we had
back in the '20s.
1102
01:12:17,542 --> 01:12:21,388
What about the wave?
I heard something about a great wave.
1103
01:12:26,425 --> 01:12:28,519
Great wave? Yeah.
1104
01:12:29,178 --> 01:12:31,146
There was a wave, all right.
1105
01:12:31,180 --> 01:12:33,399
Sometimes I think I never seen it.
1106
01:12:33,516 --> 01:12:35,689
That I just read about it.
1107
01:12:35,977 --> 01:12:38,446
Like something in the scriptures.
1108
01:12:38,729 --> 01:12:41,403
It come up out of the sea, like a mountain.
1109
01:12:41,858 --> 01:12:46,364
Coming toward the land,
like the Day of Judgment.
1110
01:12:47,363 --> 01:12:51,743
You didn't happen to know a girl,
a visitor, who was caught by the wave?
1111
01:12:51,993 --> 01:12:54,212
Her name was Jennie Appleton.
1112
01:12:54,620 --> 01:12:57,123
You know,
it's queer you should ask me that.
1113
01:12:57,164 --> 01:12:59,087
I used to rent her my boat.
1114
01:12:59,125 --> 01:13:01,719
I shall never forget her till the day I die.
1115
01:13:01,752 --> 01:13:03,220
Did you know her?
1116
01:13:03,296 --> 01:13:05,594
Yes, I knew her.
1117
01:13:05,756 --> 01:13:07,758
Pretty little thing, wasn't she?
1118
01:13:07,842 --> 01:13:10,265
Such big, sad eyes she had.
1119
01:13:10,761 --> 01:13:12,354
Big, sad eyes...
1120
01:13:13,264 --> 01:13:16,689
There was something about her
that seemed to come from far away.
1121
01:13:16,726 --> 01:13:20,356
What happened exactly?
Where was she when the wave struck?
1122
01:13:20,438 --> 01:13:23,942
She reached Land's End point,
that much is certain...
1123
01:13:23,983 --> 01:13:26,736
'cause I found the bow of my boat
tied to the wharf there.
1124
01:13:26,819 --> 01:13:28,821
Anyway, what was left of it.
1125
01:13:28,863 --> 01:13:30,661
Let me ask you something.
1126
01:13:30,781 --> 01:13:34,035
If she had made the lighthouse,
she might have been saved.
1127
01:13:34,660 --> 01:13:36,503
- Isn't that so?
- Yes.
1128
01:13:36,662 --> 01:13:38,630
But she didn't make it.
1129
01:13:39,081 --> 01:13:40,549
No, I know.
1130
01:13:40,750 --> 01:13:43,503
It was a pretty tough climb up them rocks...
1131
01:13:43,586 --> 01:13:45,179
in all that wind.
1132
01:13:46,380 --> 01:13:49,725
- Especially for a female.
- I suppose it would.
1133
01:13:50,051 --> 01:13:51,303
Alone.
1134
01:15:53,466 --> 01:15:57,266
"And a great and strong wind
rent the mountains...
1135
01:15:57,636 --> 01:16:01,641
"and break in pieces the rocks
before the Lord...
1136
01:16:02,224 --> 01:16:06,104
"but the Lord was not in the wind."
1137
01:16:57,696 --> 01:16:59,698
Jennie!
1138
01:18:47,056 --> 01:18:49,058
Jennie!
1139
01:18:51,644 --> 01:18:53,646
Jennie!
1140
01:18:57,608 --> 01:18:59,610
Eban!
1141
01:19:03,239 --> 01:19:05,241
Eban!
1142
01:19:11,497 --> 01:19:13,499
Jennie!
1143
01:19:15,084 --> 01:19:17,086
Eban!
1144
01:19:19,088 --> 01:19:21,511
I was afraid I wouldn't find you.
1145
01:19:21,799 --> 01:19:23,676
I'll never let you go again, never.
1146
01:19:23,717 --> 01:19:26,266
It's been so long, Eben. Let me look at you.
1147
01:19:26,303 --> 01:19:28,431
Jennie, the wave is coming.
1148
01:19:28,472 --> 01:19:29,940
It's all right, whatever happens--
1149
01:19:30,015 --> 01:19:33,110
Whatever happens?
It's you I want, not just dreams of you.
1150
01:19:33,185 --> 01:19:35,904
Please believe me.
The wave will strike again, and soon.
1151
01:19:35,980 --> 01:19:39,575
- We can have a whole life--
- We have all eternity together.
1152
01:19:39,692 --> 01:19:44,414
Can't you see? We were lonely, unloved.
Time made an error.
1153
01:19:44,989 --> 01:19:47,913
But you waited for me,
and so we found our love.
1154
01:19:47,950 --> 01:19:50,954
- Now we must lose it?
- No, now we're just beginning.
1155
01:19:51,578 --> 01:19:55,549
There is no life, my darling,
until you've loved and been loved.
1156
01:19:55,582 --> 01:19:57,676
And then there is no death.
1157
01:20:00,421 --> 01:20:04,722
- We must reach the lighthouse, fast.
- But you're fighting nothing, Eben.
1158
01:20:30,534 --> 01:20:32,332
Please, Eben, go without me.
1159
01:20:32,411 --> 01:20:35,085
No, there's nothing in life,
nothing at all without you.
1160
01:20:35,122 --> 01:20:38,046
You must live on, Eben, but with faith.
1161
01:20:44,798 --> 01:20:47,426
- Here it comes.
- Goodbye, my darling.
1162
01:21:20,334 --> 01:21:24,055
There, young fellow.
A shave will make you feel better.
1163
01:21:24,421 --> 01:21:26,719
- Good morning, Captain Cobb.
- Good morning.
1164
01:21:26,757 --> 01:21:28,725
- Spinney.
- Hello, Adams.
1165
01:21:28,759 --> 01:21:30,761
What are you doing here?
1166
01:21:30,844 --> 01:21:32,642
Frankly, I was worried about you.
1167
01:21:32,679 --> 01:21:35,057
I thought I'd come up
and see how you were doing.
1168
01:21:35,099 --> 01:21:39,024
Captain Cobb kindly let me visit you.
So you see, we're both his guests.
1169
01:21:39,103 --> 01:21:42,232
- That's nice of you. Thanks.
- It ain't nothing.
1170
01:21:42,272 --> 01:21:44,195
But let me tell you, young fellow.
1171
01:21:44,274 --> 01:21:48,404
It's a mighty lucky thing you told Eke
where you was aiming to sail for.
1172
01:21:48,737 --> 01:21:51,741
Or t'ain't likely we'd ever have been
able to find you at all.
1173
01:21:51,824 --> 01:21:53,872
No siree bob.
1174
01:21:53,909 --> 01:21:55,377
Did they find anyone else?
1175
01:21:55,452 --> 01:21:59,673
There weren't nobody else darn fool enough
to keep a boat out in that blow.
1176
01:21:59,706 --> 01:22:01,674
But her boat?
1177
01:22:02,000 --> 01:22:03,092
What's he saying?
1178
01:22:03,168 --> 01:22:04,636
She had a boat.
1179
01:22:04,878 --> 01:22:08,348
I don't rightly know
what you're talking about, young fellow.
1180
01:22:08,590 --> 01:22:10,638
But there weren't no other boat at all...
1181
01:22:10,676 --> 01:22:13,475
put out from any place
around these parts that day.
1182
01:22:13,512 --> 01:22:16,061
And you can bet your boots on that.
1183
01:22:17,349 --> 01:22:20,944
Can't figure out why Eke
ever rented him his boat.
1184
01:22:24,148 --> 01:22:26,617
You saw Jennie again, didn't you, Adams?
1185
01:22:29,778 --> 01:22:31,280
It was awful.
1186
01:22:33,282 --> 01:22:35,330
I tried to hold on to her.
1187
01:22:36,618 --> 01:22:38,086
But the wave...
1188
01:22:38,162 --> 01:22:39,709
Take it easy.
1189
01:22:40,164 --> 01:22:42,132
At least you saw her again.
1190
01:22:45,836 --> 01:22:47,133
Yes, I...
1191
01:22:49,256 --> 01:22:51,509
I'm glad you at least believe...
1192
01:22:52,009 --> 01:22:53,556
about Jennie.
1193
01:22:55,095 --> 01:22:56,392
Yes, Adams.
1194
01:23:01,101 --> 01:23:02,944
You do, don't you?
1195
01:23:03,437 --> 01:23:05,860
You believe it. That's all that matters.
1196
01:23:15,782 --> 01:23:16,783
What?
1197
01:23:22,789 --> 01:23:24,883
Where did you get that scarf?
1198
01:23:24,958 --> 01:23:29,213
This? It was near you,
when they found you on the beach.
1199
01:23:34,176 --> 01:23:37,601
Yes, Spinney. I saw Jennie again.
1200
01:23:40,307 --> 01:23:42,309
You mean, this is Jennie's?
1201
01:23:47,272 --> 01:23:48,819
It's all right.
1202
01:23:50,609 --> 01:23:52,407
I haven't lost her.
1203
01:23:54,655 --> 01:23:56,783
Everything's all right now.
1204
01:24:20,222 --> 01:24:22,020
"Portrait of Jennie."
1205
01:24:22,140 --> 01:24:23,892
Isn't she beautiful?
1206
01:24:24,309 --> 01:24:27,779
- I wonder if she was real.
- She must have been.
1207
01:24:27,854 --> 01:24:31,825
What does it matter? She was real to him,
or she couldn't look so alive.
1208
01:24:31,858 --> 01:24:33,735
How very wise you are.
1209
01:24:42,869 --> 01:24:44,997
Is it really of me?
1210
01:24:46,039 --> 01:24:48,383
I think someday it will hang in a museum...
1211
01:24:48,458 --> 01:24:51,928
and people will come
from all over the world to see it.
