I didn't mind it.
The hospital got on my nerves.

:16:04
That darned doctor trying
to make me stay another week.

:16:06
- He thought it would be better--
- Better for who?

:16:08
It was just to get your money.
I felt as good the next day as ever.

:16:13
Maybe better than I had
for a while.

:16:15
Oh, Stephen,
why didn't you bring them to me?

:16:18
The days wouldn't have seemed
half so long.

:16:20
- I thought everybody'd forgotten me.
- I think we'll get you to bed.

:16:25
Bed? I just got up.
:16:27
Haven't you seen enough of me
in bed for the past three weeks?

:16:30
Seems like three years to me.
:16:32
You'll soon find you're not
as strong as you think you are.

:16:35
You must remember I've had a great deal
of experience in these maternity cases.

:16:38
Experience?
What do you think I had?

:16:41
Tell me why doctors, nurses
and husbands...

:16:43
always think they know more
about this maternity business.

:16:46
Don't you think a mother learns anything
in that room they wheel her into?

:16:49
Or is that just
a kindergarten class?

:16:52
Let me tell you. I picked up
quite an experience in that room.

:16:55
That wasn't out of books either.
:16:57
Experience.
:17:02
- Stephen.
- Yes, dear?

:17:05
A dance at the River Club
tomorrow night.

:17:07
I think I can wear
my blue dress.

:17:09
- I'll let it out a little at the top.
- You don't want to go dancing already.

:17:15
Before I went to the hospital,
I was stuck in this house...

:17:17
for four solid months
without going anywheres.

:17:20
We just got in to the River Club.
:17:22
All my life I've died to go to the real
places and get in with the right crowd.

:17:25
Just when I got a chance to get started,
I have to give it all up.

:17:28
We'll go next time.
:17:29
I don't want to go next time.
I want to go this time.

:17:32
Stephen, I won't dance much.
I promise.

:17:35
I just want to get a wave
and a manicure...

:17:37
and get all dressed up again
and go hear some music...

:17:39
and forget all about doctors
and hospitals and nurses.

:17:43
And babies?
:17:52
Ah, but Stephen, please.
