:13:03
I won't laugh at you. What is it?
:13:05
It's an idea, a silly idea
that's been with me for years.
:13:10
I was in London once in the winter.
:13:13
It seemed there was no city
in the world...
:13:15
that was colder to the homeless...
:13:17
or that could be warmer
to the ones who had a home.
:13:21
How I used to long
for a home of my own...
:13:24
in one of those quiet houses
in the little London squares...
:13:27
with the woman
I should one day come to love.
:13:31
Could we settle down in London?
Not in a house in a square, perhaps...
:13:37
Paula, why do you look like that?
:13:42
- Because there is a house in a square.
- What house?
:13:47
9, Thornton Square.
:13:50
- She left it to me.
- She?
:13:52
You mean Alice Alquist?
:13:57
She was my mother's sister.
My mother died when I was born.
:14:02
I don't know anything about her
or my father.
:14:05
I lived with my aunt always
as if I were her own.
:14:10
After it happened I never went back.
:14:19
That house
comes into my dreams sometimes...
:14:21
a house of horror.
:14:26
It's strange.
:14:28
I haven't dreamed of it
since I've known you.
:14:32
I haven't been afraid since I've known you.
:14:35
- Afraid?
- Yes.
:14:38
For years I've been afraid
of something nameless...
:14:41
ever since she died.
:14:44
You've cast out fear for me.
:14:46
If it were true,
it would make me very happy.
:14:48
It is true. I've found peace in loving you.
:14:54
- I could even face that house with you.
- No, Paula, beloved.
:14:58
- I would not ask that of you.
- Yes, you shall have your dream.
