1:21:01
Gene, crack open the safe
and get out some of that good bourbon.
1:21:05
-You never used to drink during the day.
-l never used to drink at all.
1:21:08
-lt's a habit l picked up from men.
-Men.
1:21:11
l never yet met one who didn't
have the instincts of a heel.
1:21:15
Sometimes l wish l could
get along without them.
1:21:17
-You've never been married, have you?
-Men around me get allergic to wedding rings.
1:21:23
You know, big-sister type.
''Good old lda...
1:21:26
...you can talk it over
with her, man-to-man!''
1:21:28
l'm getting tired of men talking
to me ''man-to-man.''
1:21:31
-l'll have a drink myself.
-l'll take mine straight.
1:21:34
Well, if you can take it, l can.
1:21:41
-Seen anyone l know lately?
-You mean Veda.
1:21:44
l wondered how long it would take you
to get to that.
1:21:47
Yes, l mean Veda. Have you seen her?
ls she all right?
1:21:50
-Why don't you forget about her?
-l can't. l've tried, but l can't.
1:21:55
Well, try, try again. That's my motto.
1:21:57
You don't know what it's like being
a mother, lda. Veda's a part of me.
1:22:02
Maybe she didn't turn out as well
as l hoped she would...
1:22:05
...but she's still my daughter,
and l can't forget that.
1:22:08
l went away to try. l was so mixed-up,
l didn't know where l was or what l wanted.
1:22:14
But now l know.
Now l'm sure of one thing at least.
1:22:18
l want my daughter back.
1:22:20
Personally, Veda's convinced me
that alligators have the right idea.
1:22:24
They eat their young.
1:22:29
l'm slightly drunk.
1:22:32
-Hello?
-Is Mildred there?
1:22:33
-Yes. Who is it?
-This is Bert.
1:22:35
Hold on. lt's Bert. He's been calling
every day on the hour for a month.
1:22:42
-Hello.
-How are you? Just get in?
1:22:44
l'm fine. l got back this morning.
1:22:46
-How about dinner?
-What?
1:22:48
-Dinner tomorrow?
-Tomorrow night?
1:22:50
Don't you want to?
1:22:51
Of course, but what
about Mrs. Biederhof?
1:22:54
-She's married.
-She is?
1:22:56
Yeah, a couple of weeks ago.
1:22:58
Okay, you pick me up
at the house at 7:30. Goodbye.
