1:34:02
Nothing counted but me,
my disappointments, my unhappiness.

1:34:06
I married Jerry, moved into his house,
used his money and had his child, and yet...

1:34:12
Yet I was never his wife.
1:34:15
You're someone's wife
when you belong to them.

1:34:19
I never belonged to anybody.
1:34:21
Never?
1:34:25
I thought I was being honest.
I thought I wasn't lying, but I was.

1:34:29
I said to the world, this is what I am,
take me or leave me...

1:34:32
...so that it was always on my terms
they had to accept me.

1:34:35
It was a trick.
1:34:36
Don't you see, Earl? It was a trick to avoid
the responsibility of belonging to someone.

1:34:40
What are you giving me?
An hour ago you were in love.

1:34:46
I don't know what
the word means anymore.

1:34:48
Not the way we use it.
1:34:50
You knew yesterday...
1:34:53
...on the beach.
1:34:55
Love because we're lonely,
love because we're frightened?

1:34:59
Love because we're bored.
1:35:01
What was it with me, boredom?
1:35:05
The lady of the house
needed a little entertainment?

1:35:08
Go ahead, say it. I can take it.
1:35:09
You went off on a toot.
1:35:12
Mae, you've got the shakes.
1:35:14
You're trying to back out, and there
isn't any place to back out to.

1:35:19
Crawl back to Jerry.
How long will it last?

1:35:21
One month, two months...
1:35:24
...and the old music in the jukebox
will start all over again.

1:35:31
Oh, sure it will.
1:35:33
Duties, obligations, responsibilities,
out the window they'll go.

1:35:37
And you'll be wanting me again,
or somebody like me.

1:35:41
No, Earl. I won't.
1:35:44
A chump, that's what you played me for.
1:35:48
Wasn't it?
1:35:50
Wasn't it?
1:35:54
Believe what you want.
1:35:59
I sure can pick them, can't I?
