:19:00
What?
:19:01
I love my sister Julia
more than anything else in the world.

:19:06
I don't blame you, so do I.
:19:08
She's so sweet, you don't know.
:19:10
Yes, I do.
:19:11
She's beautiful and exciting, too,
don't you think?

:19:14
Stop it. I'll start jittering.
:19:16
It's terribly important
that she should marry the right person.

:19:21
-That's important for everyone.
-No. It's particularly so for Julia.

:19:26
I suppose you realize
you're a rather strange bird in these parts?

:19:30
How's that?
:19:31
You don't know the men we see as a rule.
Where've you been?

:19:34
Working hard.
:19:35
-Nights?
-Nights, too.

:19:37
What about these little jaunts to Placid?
Come clean, Case.

:19:40
Want to know something?
That was the first holiday I ever had.

:19:43
-No.
-Sure.

:19:44
-Then you can't have been working long.
-Only just since I was 10.

:19:48
-Ten?
-Sure.

:19:49
At what?
:19:50
Anything I could get.
Financial house the last few years.

:19:54
Does she paint? She never told me.
:19:57
No, you don't.
:19:59
-Why, isn't she any good?
-It isn't hers, it's mine.

:20:01
There lies Linda the artist.
Don't disturb the ashes.

:20:04
Frankly, I stank.
:20:06
What did you try
after you discovered you couldn't paint?

:20:09
-Case, are you drawing me out?
-Sure. Come on.

:20:13
-You really want to know?
-Sure.

:20:15
Well, I tried to go on the stage.
:20:18
Would you care to see me
do the sleepwalking scene from Macbeth?

:20:21
-"Out, damned spot!"
-No, some other time.

:20:24
The teachers at Miss Porter's School
thought it was very promising.

:20:28
-What else?
-There were lots of humorous episodes.

:20:31
I tried to get Father
to let me take a nursing course at a hospital.

:20:34
Yes, and I almost got arrested
trying to help some strikers over in Jersey.

:20:38
How was I to know that Father was
on the board of directors of the company?

:20:42
You see, Case, the trouble with me
is that I never could decide...

:20:45
...whether I wanted to be Joan of Arc,
Florence Nightingale or John L. Lewis.

:20:49
-What's the matter, you fed up?
-To the neck.

:20:52
Even with this million-dollar museum?
All those marble pillars down there?

:20:55
Case, compared to the life I lead...
:20:58
...the last man in a chain gang
thoroughly enjoys himself.
