:28:02
I suppose a man could do over his office,
but he never thinks of anything so simple.
:28:06
No, dear. A man has only one escape
from his old self.
:28:09
To see a different self
in the mirror of some woman's eyes.
:28:14
The girl probably means no more to him
than that new dress means to you.
:28:17
But, Mother...
:28:19
He doesn't love the girl. If he did,
you'd have felt it yourself long ago.
:28:26
Yes, I always thought I would.
I love him so much.
:28:31
And he loves you, baby.
So take my advice. Keep still.
:28:35
Keep still when you're fairly aching to talk.
:28:38
It's about the only sacrifice spoiled women
like us ever have to make to keep our men.
:28:43
- What if I don't want him on those terms?
- But, Mary...
:28:46
Mother, it's all right for you
to talk of another generation...
:28:50
...when women were chattels,
and they did as men told them to.
:28:53
But this is today.
Stephen and I are equals.
:28:57
We took each other of our own free will,
for life, because we loved each other.
:29:03
We've always given each other our best.
I won't qualify that relationship now.
:29:08
It's wrong. Shockingly wrong!
:29:10
And women that stand for such things
are beneath contempt.
:29:13
I'll never be one of them! Never!
:29:15
- But, Mary...
- It's all over. It's finished. I'm through.
:29:18
No, it isn't. It will never be finished
while you love him.
:29:21
I'll get over that. Women do.
They have to.
:29:27
What are you doing this evening?
:29:30
We're dining at home
and going to the theater.
:29:33
I've asked Beth and Dave.
I'll go through with it.
:29:38
I'll have it out with him after.
I'll tell him that I can't go on.
:29:41
You're not to say a word to Stephen
until you've thought this out very calmly.
:29:46
I'm going this minute to get our tickets.
:29:49
You're taking me to Bermuda.
My throat's bad.
:29:51
I didn't want to worry you,
but my doctor says...
:29:54
How sweet of you.
:29:58
But what can there be between us now?
