Inside: pure jelly!
:59:04
You saw the game on TV.
You saw what happened.

:59:07
But I didn't see what happened
in Skipper's hotel room.

:59:10
That little episode was not on TV.
:59:12
Tell Big Daddy
why you were in Skipper's room.

:59:15
He was sick.
:59:17
Sick with drink.
:59:18
He wouldn't come out.
:59:20
He'd busted some furniture...
:59:21
...and the hotel manager said to stop him
before he called the police.

:59:25
So I went to his room.
:59:27
I scratched on his door
and begged him to let me in.

:59:30
He was half crazy.
:59:32
Violent and screaming one minute...
:59:34
...weak and crying the next.
:59:36
And all the time, scared stiff about you.
:59:40
So I said to him maybe it was time
we forgot about football.

:59:44
Maybe he ought to get a job
and let me and Brick alone.

:59:49
I thought he'd hit me.
:59:52
He walked toward me...
:59:54
...with a funny sort of smile on his face.
1:00:00
Then he did the strangest thing.
1:00:02
He kissed me.
1:00:05
That was the first time
he'd ever touched me.

1:00:08
And then I knew what I was going to do.
1:00:10
I'd get rid of Skipper.
1:00:12
I'd show Brick that their deep,
true friendship was a big lie.

1:00:16
I'd prove it by showing...
1:00:18
...that Skipper would make love
to his best friend's wife.

1:00:22
He didn't need any coaxing.
1:00:24
He was more than willing.
1:00:26
He even seemed to have the same idea.
1:00:29
You're just trying to whitewash it.
1:00:31
I'm not!
1:00:32
I was trying to win back my husband.
1:00:34
It didn't matter how.
I would've done anything.

1:00:37
Even that.
1:00:40
But at the last second...
1:00:42
...I got panicky.
1:00:45
Supposing I lost you instead?
1:00:48
Supposing you'd hate me
instead of Skipper?

1:00:52
So I ran.
1:00:55
Nothing happened!
1:00:56
I've tried to tell him a hundred times
but he won't let me.

1:00:59
Nothing happened!
