1:28:01
Still is. l do all my sitting here.
Becoming quite an expert at it.
1:28:05
-Do you live here alone?
-There are complete living quarters.
1:28:08
Somebody has to be on the premises
to show the place.
1:28:11
-Won't you sit down?
-Yes.
1:28:12
-Can l fix you a drink?
-Please.
1:28:15
l have the heel of a bottle,
no ice or seltzer.
1:28:18
-Sorry l can't be more hospitable.
-That's all right. l prefer it straight.
1:28:23
-l beg your pardon?
-l said, l prefer it straight.
1:28:27
-Say when.
-When.
1:28:30
-What happened to your orange grove?
-Sold for taxes.
1:28:34
-The beach house too?
-No, not the beach house.
1:28:37
An uncle with a little money
wouldn't let me sell it.
1:28:41
He's hoping to foreclose on it instead.
1:28:43
Sounds like a nice uncle.
1:28:47
Now, Mildred, what do you want?
1:28:49
-Well, l don't understand.
-Yes, you do.
1:28:52
You don't really want to buy
this antiquated tomb.
1:28:55
You'd be out of your mind.
1:28:57
l don't know. lt isn't such a bad
house. Remodeling would do wonders.
1:29:02
Take off some of that gingerbread
and redecorate the inside and--
1:29:07
My businesslike air
isn't fooling you much, is it?
1:29:10
No, l remember too well. l remember
how it was with us once, and so do you.
1:29:15
lt isn't something either of us
can forget.
1:29:17
-You haven't forgotten?
-Not for an hour.
1:29:20
-Even this doesn't help.
-Then you can do me a great kindness.
1:29:24
-lf l can.
-Ask me to marry you.
1:29:30
Why?
1:29:32
l must say, your attitude isn't
exactly enthusiastic.
1:29:36
You went to considerable trouble
to get rid of me once...
1:29:38
...so naturally, l'm startled by your proposal
of marriage. This is a little sudden.
1:29:44
l have my own reason
for wanting to marry you.
1:29:47
-A reason named Veda.
-Why should it be?
1:29:49
Because your reason for doing anything
is usually Veda.
1:29:53
Well, whether it is or isn't,
what's your answer?
1:29:57
l can't afford you.
You have money, and l haven't.
