:23:01
Stella,
why did you marry me?

:23:05
Because I was crazy about you, silly,
and I still am, only--

:23:10
- Only you just don't seem to ever--
- Once, a long time ago...

:23:13
you said you were crazy
to learn everything, become someone.

:23:16
Didn't you?
:23:18
- Yes, Stephen.
- Please listen to me.

:23:20
I'm only telling you this
because I love you.

:23:26
Beamer wants to send me to New York
to handle the sales department there.

:23:29
I want to go.
:23:31
I want to take you with me,
but I want you to make an effort.

:23:35
I want you to try to be...
:23:38
what you wanted to be.
:23:41
Give up a few things for me
and try to adapt yourself--

:23:44
Adapt myself?
Give up a few things?

:23:48
Well, what have I been doing
ever since I met you?

:23:51
I'm getting
a little sick of it too.

:23:54
How would it be for you to do
a little adapting for a change?

:23:57
I don't see you
giving up anything.

:23:59
I'll tell you one more thing.
I'm not going to New York.

:24:02
I'm not gonna leave here just when I'm
beginning to get with the right people.

:24:08
You go on and go to New York.
I'm gonna stay here.

:24:12
Can you beat that?
:24:14
Laying awake waiting for her dinner,
and not a squawk out of her.

:24:26
Gosh, Carrie...
:24:28
I used to think girls
at the mill were crazy...

:24:30
when they got married and right
off the bat started having kids.

:24:33
But honest, Stella,
would you want any more?

:24:35
Sure, if I could have
another one like her.

:24:38
She's been a regular pal to me.
:24:40
Since Stephen's been away in New York,
I hardly know I have a husband.

:24:43
He's only been here three times
this summer, and only on account of her.

:24:46
He's crazy about her.
:24:48
Who wouldn't be?
:24:51
Oh, look at her.
:24:53
Wiping it up at her age.
Can you beat that?

:24:55
She's the spit of her old man.
