1:06:04
Is Mother upstairs?
1:06:09
Lena, isn't it terrible?
1:06:12
Mother, I just heard.
I don't care what you did.
1:06:15
You can count on me.
1:06:17
- You're leaving?
- It's the least I can do.
1:06:20
I'm sorry I'm such a disappointment
to everybody.
1:06:22
Now we can leave together, the two of us,
the way we planned.
1:06:25
For heaven's sake! How can you be
so selfish when there's Dad to think about?
1:06:28
- Don't you know what this will mean to him?
- Of course I'm thinking about Dad.
1:06:32
But I've always wanted to go.
After all, Mother will be even more famous.
1:06:36
Famous?
1:06:37
So you want to be famous
like Naomi Murdoch?
1:06:39
Of course I do.
1:06:41
Well, honey, let me tell you
just how famous that really is.
1:06:44
I didn't think you fell for that line I was
handing out for the yokels, but if you did...
1:06:48
- Line?
- After all, a girl has her pride.
1:06:50
There doesn't seem to be much demand
for the classics now
1:06:53
- and practically none at all for me.
- Mother.
1:06:56
I'd like to leave you thinking
I was up there in lights, but...
1:07:00
I've got enough
on my conscience without...
1:07:03
You think all you have to do
is get on that train
1:07:06
and when you get off,
you'll be in the star's dressing room.
1:07:08
Oh, no. The theatre's a tough jungle, kids.
1:07:11
I've got no glory, no glamour
and bruises on my illusions.
1:07:14
And I can't complain, I never starved.
1:07:17
I've been a stooge for a trained seal.
I sold corsets when times were bad.
1:07:21
I live in cheap hotels and con the bookers
so they won't know how bad I need money.
1:07:24
And I can name a pawnshop
in every town on the circuit.
1:07:27
Next season, if I'm lucky,
Ill do a rather tired single.
1:07:30
It's not very dignified.
Matter of fact, it's rather vulgar.
1:07:33
And Ill be billed below the dog acts.
1:07:35
- But if you want to come and join me...
- Lily.
1:07:44
I'd love to have you with me.
