:51:09
- Hello.
- Yes?
:51:11
I came to see you.
:51:14
Obviously.
:51:17
That's a very pretty sweater you have on.
:51:19
You didn't drive 300 miles
just to admire my sweater.
:51:22
No, I didn't.
:51:24
I came to tell you something.
:51:28
Father called me.
You're going to be married.
:51:33
I'm sorry he told you. I wanted to.
:51:35
Is that all?
:51:37
I want you to like me.
:51:38
I don't think that's absolutely necessary,
Miss Howell.
:51:42
I hope you won't mind
if I don't call you mother.
:51:44
That's beside the point.
:51:46
I do think that we should talk
about your mother, just a little.
:51:49
I know what you're going to say.
:51:51
I talked to Dr. Sherman.
He told me things I hadn't known.
:51:55
I know what I thought about
you and Father wasn't true.
:51:58
And I'm sorry I said the things I did.
I'm very sorry.
:52:00
It's all right. I didn't blame you.
:52:02
As for your getting married...
:52:03
you and Father are quite capable
of deciding things for yourself.
:52:06
- It isn't necessary to have my approval.
- Oh, but it is.
:52:09
Your father is very Ionely, Carol.
:52:11
Maybe that has something to do with
his wanting to marry me, I don't know.
:52:15
I do know that I can't marry him,
if it would mean his losing you.
:52:19
Since there's no hope you'll like me,
I'll do what you want me to do.
:52:22
I'll go away.
:52:24
- He'd never forgive me.
- He won't know I've talked to you.
:52:27
- I'm sorry.
- That's all right.
:52:29
You can't help the way you feel,
any more than I can.
:52:32
Your father needs someone, Carol,
and he has for a long time.
:52:35
You've stayed away all these weeks just
to punish him for making you unhappy.
:52:39
You don't know the meaning
of unhappiness.
:52:41
If you ever really want to know,
ask your father.
:52:47
You know,
we could've been friends very easily.
:52:50
If we'd met a few days sooner,
or a long time later.
:52:53
It's too bad.
:52:55
Miss Howell...
