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.

:21:02
What you need's some time off from
what you've been doing day in, day out.

:21:06
You mean from what I've not been doing
days in, please, years out.

:21:12
How does your garden grow, Case?
Is life wonderful where you are?

:21:16
It can be.
:21:16
-But it hasn't been?
-I don't call what I've been doing "living."

:21:20
-What do you recommend for yourself?
-A holiday.

:21:23
-For how long?
-For as long as I need.

:21:25
-You mean just to play?
-No, I've been working since I was 10.

:21:28
I want to find out why I'm working.
:21:30
The answer can't be just to pay bills
or pile up more money.

:21:34
Even if you do,
the government takes most of it.

:21:36
-But what is the answer?
-That's what I intend to find out.

:21:39
The world is changing out there.
There's new exciting ideas running around.

:21:43
Some right, some cock-eyed,
but they are affecting our lives.

:21:46
I want to know how I stand, where I fit in,
what all this will mean to me.

:21:49
I can't find that out sitting behind a desk
in an office.

:21:52
I'm going to get money together,
and then knock off.

:21:54
-Quit?
-Quit.

:21:56
I want to save part of my life for myself.
:21:58
There's a catch to it though,
it's got to be part of the young part.
