1:07:01
The firm is sending me to New York.
1:07:03
Is that all?
Well, we can live without you for a while.

1:07:06
They'll be safe with me.
I've got 12 guns in my room.

1:07:09
- You'll be back by Thanksgiving.
- You don't understand.

1:07:14
They're sending me to New York for good.
To be head of the New York office.

1:07:18
- New York!
- What?

1:07:22
I don't believe it.
1:07:25
I simply don't believe it.
1:07:27
It's true.
1:07:29
I start the first of the year.
We'll leave after Christmas.

1:07:32
I thought we'd like to have
Christmas in St. Louis.

1:07:35
I think I'll go pack.
1:07:37
It will take a week to dig up
all my dolls from the cemetery.

1:07:40
Come back.
There'll be no packing as yet.

1:07:44
There are many things to talk over and
you two are being very cool about it.

1:07:48
Why, Anna.
1:07:50
I thought you'd be overjoyed.
1:07:54
New York is a big city.
1:07:57
Not that St. Louis isn't big...
1:08:00
...but it just doesn't seem very big
out here where we live.

1:08:04
And what will the children do?
1:08:07
The same as they do here...
1:08:09
...go to school, play,
have their friends over.

1:08:12
What friends?
1:08:14
- Yes. What friends?
- The friends they'll meet in school.

1:08:17
I don't go to school.
1:08:19
You will someday,
if they'll take you in.

1:08:21
Agnes just ready to be promoted
and Esther going to be a senior.

1:08:25
- I've worked all my life to be a senior.
- And Rose is to be graduated.

1:08:29
Graduation is the least.
All the people I care about are in St. Louis.

1:08:32
And what about me and my life?
1:08:35
You can take that with you.
1:08:38
It's settled.
We're moving to New York.

1:08:40
You're being very calm
about the way you pack us off.

1:08:44
I've got the future to think about.
The future for us all.

1:08:48
I've got to worry about money, with
Lon in Princeton and Rose going to college.

1:08:52
Maybe Rose won't have to go.
Things are happening.

1:08:55
Tonight she met Colonel Darly,
and he was very smitten with her.

1:08:59
I'm sure he was, but next year
she'll still want to go to college.
