1:18:00
I want his love.
1:18:02
Paula, two years ago,
you walked into his office.
1:18:05
If the sight of you
did nothing to restore his memory...
1:18:07
what can words do?
1:18:08
When you came to me at Melbridge
shortly after he disappeared...
1:18:11
I told you I was sure
he hadn't deserted you knowingly.
1:18:15
I told you a door in his mind had opened,
but another had closed.
1:18:19
I warned you even that if you found him...
1:18:21
the chances were
he wouldn't recognize you.
1:18:23
You gave me a hope.
1:18:25
There's always that hope,
but the impetus must come from within.
1:18:29
It can't be forced on him from outside.
1:18:32
You can tell him the truth
and claim your legal rights.
1:18:36
But what is going to be his attitude
when a strange woman appears...
1:18:40
and suddenly claims to be his wife?
1:18:44
He'd resent me.
1:18:46
He'd accept me.
1:18:49
He'd pity me...
1:18:52
and he'd resent me.
1:18:54
I can only offer you that frail hope
that someday the miracle will happen...
1:18:58
and he'll come back to you,
not as Charles Rainier, but as...
1:19:02
What was it you used to call him?
1:19:05
- Smithy.
- As Smithy...
1:19:07
with all his emotion for you
as warm and intact as it was...
1:19:11
on the day he left you.
1:19:15
That's not much help to me, John, is it?
1:19:19
I'm real, these tears are real,
and my jealousy is real...
1:19:24
and my need of him.
1:19:27
Paula, I wish I could help you.
1:19:38
What will you do?
1:19:41
I don't know. I'll have to think it out.
1:19:45
- You go to your dinner.
- I'll call it off if you'll dine with me.
1:19:50
No, don't do that.
1:19:52
Dear John. Always firm, but kind.
1:19:57
Thank you for the hope.
