Jim.
:50:04
Of course, the saddest thing
about the mistakes of one's youth...

:50:08
...is that they can never be rectified.
:50:11
Or can they?
:50:14
Well...
:50:16
By the way, Fanny, did I tell you
I have six children now?

:50:22
- No, you didn't.
- I mean seven. One's away at school.

:50:26
Roosevelt only has five.
:50:28
They must be a great comfort to you.
:50:31
Well, you know in politics, nothing appeals
so much as being a good, solid family man.

:50:36
And when they grow up,
they can vote too.

:50:39
You can't overlook that, you know.
:50:43
Jim, have I changed much?
:50:46
That is, very much?
:50:50
Well...
:50:52
- Have I?
- I asked you first.

:50:55
Changed?
:50:58
In what way, Fanny?
:50:59
You know perfectly well in what way.
:51:02
You know, Jim, it's so difficult
to see oneself as others see one.

:51:07
Well, Fanny, you mustn't forget you were
still almost a girl when we were friends.

:51:12
And, of course, since then
you've grown up.

:51:16
Then you do think I've changed.
:51:22
Fanny...
:51:23
...shall I tell you what I really think?
:51:26
I wish you would.
:51:29
You always were and always will be...
:51:32
...enshrined in my memory...
:51:35
...as the nearest thing to perfect loveliness
that I have ever known.

:51:43
That sounds very hollow, Jim.
