:36:01
I just saw Mr. Hobson leave.
:36:03
-Did you and he have a nice talk?
-Yes.
:36:07
Father...
:36:09
...what have you decided?
:36:12
Marriage is an extremely important step
for a young girl.
:36:15
Mother was younger than I
when she married you.
:36:18
In marrying me, your mother and her family
took no risk, either financially...
:36:22
...or, if I may say so, spiritually.
:36:24
-Johnny will do well financially.
-No doubt about it.
:36:27
-Hobson tells me he has great possibilities.
-I know it.
:36:32
Then it's all right?
:36:36
-Do you see that cigar?
-Yes, Father.
:36:39
That's a brand of cigar
I've smoked for 35 years.
:36:43
Your grandfather smoked the same brand.
:36:45
I know the quality of tobacco in it because
I own the plantation where it was grown...
:36:50
...and I know therefore that when I light it,
it will burn smoothly and pleasantly.
:36:56
And I know above everything else
that it will never explode in my face.
:36:59
And you're afraid that Johnny might?
:37:02
There's a strange new spirit at work
in the world today...
:37:05
...a spirit of revolt.
I don't understand it and I don't like it.
:37:09
Don't worry about Johnny.
I know him better than you.
:37:13
My dear, I've never denied you anything
that was in my power to give.
:37:18
He'll burn, Father,
calmly, steadily, pleasantly.
:37:24
It's only of you and your happiness
I'm thinking.
:37:26
Father...
:37:29
...you can trust me.
:37:30
I'll take care of myself.
:37:34
Thank you, Father.
:37:37
-Can we announce it New Year's Eve?
-I shall arrange a party.
:37:40
How wonderful!
:37:44
Linda had said something
about wanting to give a party herself.
:37:48
One of those ideas of hers.
:37:49
I think by now you and I know
how to take care of those ideas of Linda's.
:37:54
-It was awfully sweet of her.
-Linda has many generous impulses.
:37:58
Father?
