:06:05
Lily!
:06:06
You can find me, dear sister, in the scullery.
:06:11
Lily, come upstairs
so I can finish your costume.
:06:13
Everything's here, Lena.
The paper baskets are on top so be careful.
:06:17
- All right.
- It's not a costume, it's a gown.
:06:19
And is it a daisy!
:06:20
Just put one pecan
and one almond in each basket.
:06:23
You can fill them up with the cheap ones.
:06:25
How many times must I tell you,
one doesn't eat honey without bread.
:06:28
What if one doesn't care for bread?
:06:30
- That's not the point. Is Ted home?
- Uptown someplace.
:06:34
You shouldn't have your feet up like that.
It's not ladylike.
:06:36
- Anna Held even smokes cigars...
- You're not Anna Held yet, young lady.
:06:42
- Oh! Did you buy the sash?
- Well, of course I did.
:06:45
Would I forget
the most important accessory of all?
:06:48
Lt's really divine, isn't it, Lena?
The most heavenly cyclamen.
:06:52
- It's pink.
- Come on, Lily, we've got a lot to do.
:06:56
Ill be there in just a little minute.
:06:59
Lena, is it all going to be... wasted?
:07:04
What's wasted?
:07:05
Well, this evening. My performance.
:07:08
All my preparations.
:07:10
Oh, Lily, we sent the letter to that agency
in Chicago.
:07:14
That's all we could do.
:07:15
If your mother doesn't come,
don't be too disappointed, will you?
:07:20
Well, what else could I be?
:07:22
If she were here tonight,
my performance would be like
:07:24
Mr Halley's comet
streaking across the autumn sky.
:07:34
If she wouldn't come back for this,
I suppose she'll never come back.
:07:39
Maybe she will, maybe she won't.
Who can figure her?
:07:42
Well, why should she come back?
She was smart to get out.
:07:45
Maybe she was smart,
maybe she wasn't at all.
:07:49
And I'm just like her.
I won't stay put here either.
:07:53
"Either".
:07:55
Who could endure
this silly town with all the silly little people?
:07:58
Thank you!
