feel that now that
you're getting older...

1:27:04
there are many advantages
that we can give you.

1:27:07
I know.
1:27:10
And I do thank you.
1:27:13
But I'm sorry.
1:27:15
- Good night, Con.
- Good night, Dad.

1:27:19
Yes, dear?
1:27:24
What is it, dear?
1:27:26
You don't mean you thought
that I could live...

1:27:29
anywhere ever without Mother.
1:27:31
Well, you've lived without me.
1:27:34
Your mother and I are just
changing places for a while, that's all.

1:27:37
Isn't it fair for me to have a little
of what she's had all these years?

1:27:40
But that's different, Father.
You know it is.

1:27:43
I've been with Mother all these years
because I needed her.

1:27:46
Now she needs me,
and you need me less than ever.

1:27:48
Oh, Laurel, don't say that.
1:27:50
I'm sorry if you don't see that
what we've planned is for your good.

1:27:53
We thought it would make you happy.
1:27:55
Your mother and I have decided upon
what we think is best for you.

1:27:57
- My mother? Does she know?
- Certainly.

1:28:00
We have your interests
equally at heart, haven't we?

1:28:03
We both feel that this should be
your home for at least a few years.

1:28:06
I'm sorry, Father,
but please understand.

1:28:10
My home will be with my mother
as long as I live.

1:28:15
Oh, Stephen.
Laurel, you don't understand, dear.

1:28:18
This was all your mother's idea.
1:28:20
Her wish for you.
She planned it all herself.

1:28:23
Your father had
nothing to do with it.

1:28:25
She came to see me,
and we talked it all over.

1:28:27
- She came to you? When?
- Yes, dear.

1:28:30
Was it just after we got back
from the Mirador?

1:28:32
Why, I believe it was, but--
1:28:35
Oh, my poor mother.
1:28:39
My wonderful mother.
1:28:41
Oh, she wasn't asleep.
She heard what they said.

1:28:46
Oh, I must go to her.
I must go to her at once!

1:28:49
- Darling, tell us about it.
- Oh, please, Daddy.

1:28:52
Help me. I can't make my visit here.
I must go to my mother!
