:57:01
I find you slightly grotesque.
:57:04
You came here to tell me
something. What is it?

:57:08
Cook's got a replacement for Frank
and a lot of money to protect.

:57:13
I think Frank will improve.
Cook thinks he won't.

:57:17
- Well, he won't unless you leave.
- You'll be sorry. He'll be helpless.

:57:22
- I'll help him.
- You wouldn't know where to begin!

:57:28
I'll begin by not calling him
a cunning drunkard.

:57:31
I'll give him confidence
by rejoicing in his talents

:57:36
instead of reminding him
of his weaknesses.

:57:39
I'll let him face a decision
without fear.

:57:42
I won't stifle him with bitterness.
:57:45
I might bend the truth, but I'll get
a performance out of him.

:57:49
That's the difference. You want him
to become the actor he once was.

:57:54
I'm his wife. I want him once more
as the man he once was,

:58:00
able to face responsibility, and you
don't do that by bending the truth!

:58:06
You don't do it by stripping him
of self-respect.

:58:10
I'll fight you for this man.
:58:13
Not too hard. I may let you have him.
:58:16
Oh, no. You want him wholly
and utterly dependent.

:58:20
You realised, with all your fine
breeding, you were a failure.

:58:25
It gave you a feeling of power
to control someone else's life.

:58:31
Worse, you do it in the name of love.
You're as phoney as an opera soprano.

:58:39
Did I forget to tell you I'm proud?
:58:45
Make up your mind. Either you go
to New York alone, or you both go.

:58:56
I'll go, on one condition.
