:09:02
...it's like the goddess
from the machine."
:09:05
- Mrs. Venable's on her way down.
- I feel just like an angel...
:09:09
...coming to earth
as I float, float into view.
:09:13
Sebastian...
:09:14
...my son, Sebastian, was
very interested in the Byzantine.
:09:18
Are you interested
in the Byzantine, Dr...?
:09:20
Cukrowicz.
:09:21
I don't know very much
about the Byzantine.
:09:24
The emperor of Byzantium,
when he received people in audience...
:09:28
...had a throne which,
during the conversation...
:09:31
...would rise mysteriously in the air
to the consternation of the visitors.
:09:35
As we are living in a democracy,
I reverse the procedure.
:09:38
I don't rise. I come down.
:09:40
How do you do, Dr...?
Oh, I'm sorry, your name?
:09:43
Cukrowicz.
:09:44
It's a Polish word meaning "sugar."
:09:48
Am I only wearing one earring?
Have I forgotten my lip rouge?
:09:52
Excuse me, I...
:09:54
I guess I had been told
you were a widow.
:09:57
I am. I'm in mourning.
:09:59
White was my son's favourite colour.
:10:02
Perhaps, Dr. Sugar...
:10:04
...you expected an old widow.
:10:07
With a garnet brooch, a cane
and an ear trumpet.
:10:09
I have all that
to look forward to.
:10:12
Life is a thief. Sebastian always
said, "Life steals everything."
:10:16
I want to show you his garden.
:10:18
Are you sure you should go out,
Mrs. Venable?
:10:21
Quite sure.
They treat me like an invalid.
:10:23
You see, last spring I had a tiny
convulsion of a tiny blood vessel.
:10:28
What did your doctor call it?
:10:30
A malady of living.
:10:31
After all, I've buried a husband
and a son. I'm a widow and a...
:10:36
Funny, there's no word.
:10:38
Lose your parents, you're an orphan.
:10:40
Lose your only son and you are...
:10:45
...nothing.
:10:48
Foxhill.
:10:50
Where are they?
:10:52
I put them in the patio.
:10:54
They sent them parcel post from
Pensacola. That's why they were late.
:10:58
Another day and we'd have starved
to death. Come on, doctor.
