:25:03
All right.
:25:05
When do we eat?
:25:06
Now you stop that
or you'll spoil your dinner.
:25:09
-Look at your clothes.
-l know. l should have been a boy.
:25:12
Come on, bring me those dishes
off the sink, will you, darling?
:25:19
-Father had a suitcase with him.
-Did he? That's a lovely piece, Veda.
:25:23
-Where was he going?
-l don't know.
:25:26
-How long will he be gone?
-That's hard to say.
:25:29
Don't stop playing, darling.
:25:31
ls he coming back?
Has he gone for good?
:25:39
Look, you might as well know it now.
:25:41
Your father and l
have decided to separate.
:25:43
You mean, Dad's not
coming home anymore?
:25:46
-Doesn't he like us?
-lt has nothing to do with you, honey.
:25:50
lt just couldn't be helped. We'll have
to get along by ourselves now.
:25:54
What did you and Father quarrel about?
:25:57
l can't tell you now.
Someday l will, but not now.
:26:00
lf you mean Mrs. Biederhof,
l must say my sympathy is all with you.
:26:04
-She's distinctly middle class.
-Please, Veda. lt wasn't Mrs. Biederhof.
:26:07
-lt was little things. Mostly about your dress.
-My dress?
:26:11
-lt came?
-Yes, it's upstairs in your room.
:26:14
-Come on.
-Okay.
:26:19
You ought to do something
about your sit-down.
:26:21
-What's wrong with it?
-Sticks out.
:26:24
lt's the dress. lt's awful cheap
material. l can tell by the smell.
:26:28
What do you expect,
want it inlaid with gold?
:26:31
lt seems to me if you're buying
anything, it should be the best.
:26:34
-This is definitely not the best.
-Quit. You're breaking my heart.
:26:38
lt's impossible.
:26:40
Look at it. Ruffles.
:26:43
l wouldn't be seen dead
in this rag. lt's horrible.
:26:47
How could she have bought me
such a thing?
:26:54
It didn't take me long that night
to figure out that I was dead broke.
:26:57
And with Bert gone,
it looked as though I'd stay broke.
