I don't know where he lives, darling.
I don't even know his name, and I don't
think they'd give the money back...

:13:07
I mean, the grocer
and the drugstore and all.

:13:09
You really couldn't blame them
after they waited so long.
That's right. Rub it in.

:13:23
Tom?
Yes?

:13:26
It's wonderful to have the rent paid,
isn't it, and the bills settled up?

:13:31
You feel free and clean,
and I like that feeling.
I wish it were always like that.

:13:35
Don't you think I do?
I'd almost forgotten what it was like.

:13:40
I don't look forward
to being in debt again,
slinking past everybody.

:13:43
I dread it.
It isn't gonna be for always.
Everybody's a flop until he's a success.

:13:48
Something's bound to come through.
I got too many good ideas.

:13:50
Say, there's a $2.00 overcharge here.
:13:53
Now that everything's paid up,
you could move.

:13:57
Well, where'd we go?
:14:00
I wasn't thinking about me.
I just meant you.

:14:04
Oh, you mean the bust-up?
Mm-hmm.

:14:10
When'd you get that idea? This afternoon?
I've had it for some time,

:14:13
but something always said,
"Wait till he crashes through.
Wait till he's made one success."

:14:19
You'll never make a success
with me around. I'm just a milestone
around your neck.

:14:23
Millstone.
I'm no good for you,
darling.

:14:26
I don't mean I'm not good for somebody,
but I can't cook or sew or whip up
a little dress out of last year's curtains.

:14:32
What difference does that make?
I'm just like a car that only gives seven miles
to the tankful, only you haven't got the tankful.

:14:37
Are you sure
you haven't got a tankful?

:14:40
You see, by yourself,
you could live so simply. I mean,
just a little room anywhere...

:14:44
or maybe move in with your brother
or even use the couch in your office.

:14:47
And you wouldn't keep
slipping back all the time.
You could balance what you earned...

:14:50
and look the worid in the eye,
maybe even get ahead a little.

:14:54
Thanks. And what
would you be doing?
Oh, that's no problem.

:14:57
You can always find a good provider
if you really want one. He may not
look like a movie star, but...
