: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.
:27:01
I felt all alone. For the first time
in my life, I was lonely.
:27:05
There was so much to remind me of Bert.
How things used to be with us.
:27:10
And what great hopes we had.
:27:29
-Hi, Mildred!
-Hello, Wally.
:27:31
-Bert around?
-Not right now, he isn't.
:27:33
He left things a mess at the office.
l thought he could straighten them out.
:27:37
-Ask him to drop over, will you?
-lf it's important, find him yourself.
:27:41
He isn't living here anymore.
:27:44
-You mean you've busted up?
-Something like that.
:27:47
-For good?
-As far as l know.
:27:51
lf you don't know,
l don't know who does know.
:27:54
-You here all alone?
-No, l have the children.
:27:57
Bert must be crazy.
:27:59
You know, l never did mind
being around you, Mildred.
