:25:02
But all I have is bourbon.
:25:04
Bourbon is fine, Walter.
:25:13
Get a couple of glasses, will you.
:25:23
- Soda?
- Plain water, please.
:25:26
You know, about six months ago...
:25:27
a guy slipped on the soap in his bathtub...
:25:29
and knocked himself cold and drowned.
:25:32
Only he had accident insurance. So they
had an autopsy and she didn't get away with it.
:25:37
- Who didn't?
- His wife.
:25:41
There was another case
where a guy was found shot...
:25:43
and his wife said he was cleaning a gun
and his stomach got in the way.
:25:47
All she collected
was a three-to-ten stretch in Tehachapi.
:25:51
Perhaps it was worth it to her.
:25:56
See if you can carry this
as far as the living room.
:26:02
It's nice here, Walter.
Who takes care of it for you?
:26:05
A colored woman comes in twice a week.
:26:08
- Cook your own breakfast?
- I squeeze a grapefruit once in a while .
:26:11
The rest I get at the corner drugstore.
- It sounds wonderful.
:26:14
Just strangers beside you.
:26:16
You don't know them.
You don't hate them.
:26:19
You don't have to sit across the table...
:26:21
and smile at him and that daughter
of his every morning of your life.
:26:24
What daughter?
:26:25
- Oh, that little girl on the piano.
- Mmm. Lola. She lives with us.
:26:29
He thinks a lot more of her
than he does of me.
:26:32
- Ever think of a divorce?
- He wouldn't give me a divorce.
:26:34
I suppose
because it would cost him money.
:26:36
He hasn't got money.
Not since he went into oil business.
:26:39
But he had when you married him?
:26:41
Yes, he had. And I wanted a home.
Why not?
:26:46
But that wasn't the only reason.
:26:48
I was his wife's nurse.
She was sick for a long time.
:26:51
When she died,
he was all broken up.
:26:54
- I.... pitied him so.
- And now you hate him.
:26:57
Yes, Walter. He's so mean to me.
