1:17:04
You know, honey...
1:17:08
...we was never a very happy family.
1:17:12
There wasn't much joy in this house.
1:17:15
It wasn't Big Daddy's fault. It was just....
1:17:19
You know how some homes are happy.
1:17:23
I thought, coming home from the clinic
today, ''Now we'll be happy here.''
1:17:28
You and Brick will live with us
and have your children here.
1:17:31
And we'll help each other be happy.
1:17:39
Nothing's ever the way you plan, is it?
1:17:47
Margaret, honey...
1:17:49
...you've got to help Brick.
1:17:50
Make him pull himself together.
1:17:52
-He's going to take hold of things.
-What things?
1:17:57
The place.
1:17:58
Big Mama, you've had a shock.
1:18:00
We've all had a shock.
1:18:02
-Let's be realistic.
-Big Daddy wouldn't be foolish enough--
1:18:04
He'd never put this place
in irresponsible hands!
1:18:08
He ain't putting this place
in anybody's hands.
1:18:10
My husband is not going to die!
1:18:13
I want you to get that in your heads.
Both of you.
1:18:15
-We're hoping too.
-We intend to pray for him.
1:18:18
I won't let you persuade Big Daddy to--
1:18:20
Gooper is your firstborn!
1:18:22
He's always had to carry a bigger load
of the responsibilities than Brick.
1:18:26
Brick never carried a thing in his life
but a football or a highball.
1:18:30
Will you let me talk, please?
1:18:31
Yes, of course.
1:18:34
A 28,000 acre plantation
is a mighty big thing to run.
1:18:37
Almost single-handed.
1:18:39
You had your law practice in Memphis.
When did you run this place?
1:18:42
Mama, let's be fair.
1:18:45
Ever since Big Daddy's health
started failing...
1:18:48
...Gooper's worked like a fool
to keep this place up.
1:18:50
Gooper won't admit it.
He never thought of it as a duty.
1:18:54
Big Daddy don't know what he owns.
1:18:56
The point is I won't see this place ruined
by a drunken ex-football hero.
