:56:03
can't be just someone.
:56:05
To give so much for almost always so little.
:56:08
"So little"?
:56:10
"So little", did you say?
:56:13
Why, if there's nothing else,
there's applause.
:56:17
I've listened backstage to people applaud.
:56:20
It's like...
:56:22
Like waves of love coming over
the footlights and wrapping you up.
:56:26
Imagine - to know every night
that different hundreds of people love you.
:56:32
They smile, their eyes shine,
you've pleased them.
:56:36
They wantyou. You belong.
:56:40
Just that alone is worth anything.
:56:56
Don't get up. And please stop acting
as if I were the Queen Mother.
:57:01
- I'm sorry, I didn't...
- Outside of a beehive, Margo,
:57:04
your behaviour is hardly queenly or motherly.
:57:07
You're in a beehive, pal.
:57:09
We're all busy little bees, full of stings,
making honey day and night.
:57:14
- Aren't we, honey?
- Margo, really.
:57:16
Please don't play governess, Karen.
:57:19
I haven'tyour unyielding good taste.
:57:22
I wish I could have gone to Radcliffe, too,
but Father wouldn't hear of it.
:57:27
He needed help behind a notions counter.
:57:29
I'm being rude now, aren't I?
Or should I say, ain't I?
:57:34
You're maudlin and full of self-pity.
You're magnificent.
:57:37
How about calling it a night?
:57:40
And you pose as a playwright.
:57:42
A situation pregnant with possibilities,
and all you can think of is "go to sleep".
:57:47
- It's a good thought.
- It won't play.
:57:51
As a nonprofessional,
I think it's an excellent idea. Excuse me.
:57:56
Undramatic, perhaps, but practical.
:57:59
- Happy little housewife.
- Cut it out.
