:55:00
You're laughing at me again.
:55:03
I suppose I'm just as fond
of children as anybody else.

:55:07
Well, it's just that...
:55:09
It's just that babies grow up, and everybody
expects you to grow up with them.

:55:15
You're not afraid
of growing old, are you, Fanny?

:55:18
Yes, I am.
:55:21
Well, babies stay young
for quite a long time.

:55:24
Other people's babies, never your own.
:55:31
Do I look puffy yet?
:55:34
You look beautiful, Fanny.
:55:36
I don't know why.
:55:39
My face is all tear-stained.
:55:41
Just enough to be becoming.
:55:45
Well, I wanted to keep on crying,
but I didn't have the strength.

:55:49
You see, the sedative the doctor gave me
made me very drowsy.

:55:57
Soon, I'll be all swollen
and puffy and ugly.

:56:00
I don't want anybody to see me
like that. I couldn't bear it.

:56:06
Job, George is going to California
in a week. I want to go with him...

:56:11
...and have my baby there.
:56:12
You don't want to have
your baby in this house?

:56:15
No.
:56:16
But, Fanny, you love this house so much.
:56:20
Why, you made me
give up my home and live here.

:56:22
Of course I love this house,
but it's too close to my friends.

:56:26
I won't have them see me
all swollen and ugly.

:56:29
You'll never be ugly, Fanny.
:56:31
And I don't care how swollen you look.
:56:34
Fanny, a woman is beautiful
when she's loved. And only then.

:56:39
Nonsense. A woman is beautiful
if she has eight hours' sleep...

:56:43
...and goes to the
beauty parlor every day.

:56:46
And bone structure
has a lot to do with it too.

:56:52
But I'm so busy in New York,
and California is a six-day train trip.

:56:56
I won't be able to see you very often.
:56:58
I'll write you every week, Job.
