1:18:00
I'm worried about Mother these days,
the way she keeps to her room.
1:18:03
- Isn't she well?
- Perfectly well.
1:18:06
Then why do you suppose
she insists on acting like a hermit?
1:18:09
- Why don't you ask her?
- She won't talk to me.
1:18:11
I can't imagine what's come over her.
1:18:14
Oh, by the way,
that phone call was for you.
1:18:16
Somebody from the travel bureau
in town.
1:18:18
Said it was all right about the
transportation and hotel reservations.
1:18:22
Who's going places and where?
1:18:25
I am. Mexico.
1:18:29
Well, why the wanderlust
all of a sudden?
1:18:32
I just thought I'd like
to get away for a while.
1:18:35
From what?
1:18:36
Is there anything strange
about wanting to take a trip?
1:18:39
No, I suppose not, but why Mexico?
1:18:43
I've always wanted to see Mexico.
1:18:45
I've never heard you
say anything about it before.
1:18:48
What part of Mexico?
1:18:49
Taxco.
1:18:54
- When are you going?
- Next week.
1:18:56
- With Mother?
- No.
1:18:58
- By yourself?
- By myself.
1:19:01
What are you running away from?
1:19:04
Is it me?
1:19:06
When we were kids, you tormented me
every way you could think of.
1:19:09
- You can't do that anymore.
- Is it Richard?
1:19:12
I'm going away because I can't stand
living in this house any longer.
1:19:15
The whole place is filled with hate.
Your hate.
1:19:18
Not hate, love, Ruth.
Richard's love for me.
1:19:21
All these weeks I was
in the hospital, helpless...
1:19:23
...you had him here to yourself,
but it didn't do you any good, did it?
1:19:27
He loves me more than ever.
That's what you can't abide.
1:19:30
- That's why you envy me, isn't it?
- I don't envy you, Ellen.
1:19:34
All my life I've tried to love you,
to please you.
1:19:36
All of us have. Mother, Father and
now Richard, and what have you done?
1:19:40
With your love, you wrecked Mother's
life and pressed Father to death.
1:19:43
With your love,
you've made a shadow of Richard.
1:19:46
No, Ellen, I don't envy you.
1:19:48
I'm sorry for you.
1:19:50
You're the most pitiful creature
I've ever known.
