:50:02
We're having cocktails here
before going to Uncle Willie's.
:50:05
l'd better dash off and change.
:50:08
l'll see you later, Tracy.
:50:10
Excuse me.
:50:15
l have a feeling George
is going to take that ring tomorrow...
:50:18
...and go right through center with it.
:50:22
That's very amusing.
:50:24
Almost as amusing as the sight of you
with your arm around Mother.
:50:28
Well, l find it most unamusing
to be passed off as your Uncle Willie.
:50:32
And do take that tone out of your voice.
lt is most unattractive.
:50:35
Oh, really?
:50:38
And your dancer friend, how does she
speak to you, dulcet and intoxicating?
:50:42
Heady enough to make you
forget family responsibilities?
:50:46
-Stop it instantly!
-Mother, l can't help it. lt's sickening.
:50:50
A magnificent right he's got to come back
in his best head of the family manner...
:50:54
...and start taking charge
as if he's done nothing at all.
:50:57
Well, it's not really your affair.
:50:59
lf it concerns anyone....
:51:01
Actually, l don't know who it
concerns except your father.
:51:04
That is very wise of you, Margaret.
What most wives don't seem to realize...
:51:09
...is that a husband's philandering,
even as innocuous as my own...
:51:13
...has nothing whatever to do with them.
:51:16
And pray, just what has it
to do with, then?
:51:19
A reluctance to grow old, l think.
:51:22
l suppose the best mainstay a man can
have as he gets along in years...
:51:26
...is a daughter.
:51:27
The right kind of daughter,
one who's full of warmth and affection...
:51:31
...a kind of foolish, unquestioning,
uncritical affection.
:51:35
None of which l've got, of course.
l'm a cold goddess.
:51:39
lf your vanity thinks
in terms of goddesses.
:51:43
You have a good mind, Tracy.
:51:45
You have a pretty face, a fine,
disciplined body that does what you tell it.
:51:49
You have everything it takes to make
a lovely woman, except the one essential:
:51:54
An understanding heart.
:51:56
Without it, you might just as well
be made of bronze.
