1:09:02
Little Nell from the country? Been my
understudy for a week without me knowing it.

1:09:06
- Carefully hidden, no doubt.
- Don't get carried away.

1:09:09
Arrives here for an audition
when everyone knows I will be here,

1:09:13
- and gives a performance out of nowhere.
- You've been all through that with Lloyd.

1:09:17
The playwright doesn't make the
performance. It doesn't just happen.

1:09:22
Full of fire and music and whatnot.
1:09:24
Carefully rehearsed, I have no doubt.
1:09:27
Full of those Bill Sampson touches.
1:09:30
- I am tired of these paranoiac outbursts.
- Paranoiac?

1:09:33
I didn't know Eve was
your understudy until this afternoon.

1:09:36
- Tell that to Dr Freud along with the rest of it.
- No, I'll tell it to you for the last time.

1:09:42
Cos you've got to stop hurting the two of us
by these paranoiac tantrums.

1:09:46
- That word. I don't even know what it means.
- It's time you found out.

1:09:50
I love you. I love you.
1:09:52
- You're beautiful and intelligent.
- A body with a voice.

1:09:55
A beautiful and an intelligent woman,
and a great actress.

1:10:00
A great actress at the peak of her career.
You have every reason for happiness.

1:10:04
- Except happiness.
- Every reason.

1:10:06
But due to some uncontrollable drive,
you permit the slightest action of a kid...

1:10:11
- A kid!
- ..a kid to turn you into a screaming harpy.

1:10:14
Now, once and for all, stop it.
1:10:34
It's obvious you're not a woman.
1:10:37
- I've been aware of that for some time.
- Well, I am.

1:10:41
I'll say.
1:10:44
Don't be condescending.
1:10:46
Come on, get up. I'll buy you a drink.
1:10:48
I may have seen better days, but I'm
still not to be had for the price of a cocktail.

1:10:53
Like a salted peanut.
1:10:56
- Margo, let's make peace.
- The terms are too high.
