1:25:00
lf you want her to do anything for you,
just hit her on the head first.
1:25:07
l'm telling you. What could he say?
He was floored.
1:25:11
''Are you kidding?'' he says.
''No,'' l says.
1:25:14
-The powder room's down the hall.
-lt's all right. She's my mother.
1:25:18
-l didn't know you had a mother.
-Everybody has a mother.
1:25:23
Yeah. l guess you're right.
1:25:25
-This is Miriam. She sings.
-That's what they tell me anyhow.
1:25:29
-l'm glad to know you.
-lt's mutual, l'm sure.
1:25:31
l guess this calls for a celebration.
Maybe l'd better send out for a beer.
1:25:36
-None for me.
-What can l do for you?
1:25:38
-l want to talk to you.
-Go ahead.
1:25:41
Well--
1:25:42
-Go see if Wally wants you.
-He won't.
1:25:47
Pardon me, l'm sure.
1:25:49
Won't you sit down, Mother?
1:25:54
Well?
1:25:55
l want you to come home, Veda.
This isn't your kind of life.
1:25:58
-No? What is my kind of life, Mother?
-Well, l don't know.
1:26:03
Whatever makes you happy, l guess.
That's all l've ever wanted for you.
1:26:07
-Do you think l was happy in Glendale?
-Are you happy here?
1:26:10
When l first came here, l used to cry
occasionally. l've gotten over that.
1:26:14
-You're very fortunate.
-l know l've made you unhappy--
1:26:17
lt isn't easy for me to beg like this,
but won't you please come home?
1:26:21
No. You must think l'm on a string.
''Go away, Veda.'' ''Come back, Veda.''
1:26:26
lt isn't that easy. l'm free now.
1:26:29
No one tells me what to do. l do
what l think best, and l like it that way.
1:26:34
l've had the house redecorated. All new
furniture. Even a new piano. You'd like it.
1:26:39
You still don't understand, do you?
1:26:42
You think new curtains
are enough to make me happy.
1:26:45
l want more than that.
1:26:47
l want the kind of life Monte taught me,
and you won't give it to me.
1:26:51
l'm sorry for the trouble l've caused.
lf l went home, it would start again.
1:26:55
You know that. You know how l am.
1:26:58
The way you want to live
isn't good enough for me.
