1:46:00
But you're going
to study in New York.

1:46:03
Denver...
It's 1,500 miles away.

1:46:05
1,628, to be exact.
That's quite a distance.

1:46:07
I don't think
I'll be missed.
Don't be unfair, Susie.

1:46:10
You know I'd miss you.
I'm sure you'd be too busy
to miss anyone.

1:46:13
Much too busy.
1:46:15
You give me credit
for nothing.

1:46:17
Yes, I'm ambitious,
perhaps too ambitious,

1:46:20
but it's been for your sake
as well as mine.

1:46:22
Isn't this house
just a little bit nicer
than a cold-water flat?

1:46:25
And your new horse.
Aren't you crazy about it?
Yes, but l...

1:46:28
And that closet of yours...
Has all the dresses fit for
the daughter of a famous star.

1:46:31
Now, just a moment,
young lady.

1:46:33
It's only because
of my ambition that you've
had the best of everything.

1:46:36
That's a solid achievement
that any mother can be proud of.

1:46:39
How about a mother's love?
1:46:41
Love? But you've
always had that!

1:46:44
Yes, by telephone, postcard,
magazine interviews.

1:46:47
You've given me everything
but yourself.

1:46:50
No wonder I went to Annie
last night when I told her
about Steve.

1:46:54
Oh, Susie.
1:46:59
If Steve is going
to come between us,

1:47:04
I'll give him up.
1:47:06
I'll never see him again.
1:47:08
Oh, Mama, stop acting!
1:47:11
Stop trying to shift people
around as if they were pawns
on a stage.

1:47:14
But, Susie, l...
Don't worry,
I'll get over Steve,

1:47:16
but please,
don't play the martyr.

1:47:23
Oh, Mama, I'm sorry.
I didn't want to hurt you.

1:47:28
But last night
I was so unhappy!

1:47:33
Oh, darling.
1:47:36
l... I don't know.
1:47:39
Maybe it was all
to the good because...

1:47:42
this morning I felt
strangely independent and...

1:47:45
Well, I like the feeling.
1:47:48
That's why I think I'd...
I'd like to go away,

1:47:51
at least for a while.
1:47:53
Oh, Mama, please try
to understand.

1:47:55
I'm very sincere
about it.
