:39:01
What, hate?
:39:03
No. I don't understand what hate is...
:39:06
...or how anyone could hate
and still be sane.
:39:10
I really do think I am sane...
:39:12
...despite considerable evidence
to the contrary.
:39:16
- Your aunt, Mrs. Venable...
- Can no more help herself than I could.
:39:22
Help herself? How do you mean?
:39:25
You see, we all loved Sebastian.
:39:27
Women, men, children, animal,
mineral, vegetable...
:39:32
Sebastian was a vocation, not a man.
:39:37
Poor Aunt Vi was hooked
from the beginning.
:39:40
Loved Sebastian and nobody else.
:39:43
She gave up everything for Sebastian.
:39:46
Even her husband.
:39:48
What was Mr. Venable like?
:39:51
Mr. Venable was a good man...
:39:54
...but dull to the point of genius.
:39:58
That was Sebastian talking.
:40:01
From him,
it wouldn't have sounded cruel.
:40:04
When I talk like him or when Aunt Vi
talks like him, we sound heartless.
:40:09
And we're not really.
Though we do terrible things.
:40:13
What do you consider terrible?
:40:16
Aunt Vi let her husband die
because of Sebastian.
:40:20
Killed him, some people thought.
:40:23
How, killed him?
:40:25
Once, Sebastian decided to give up
the torments of this world...
:40:30
...and become a Buddhist monk.
That was in Tibet.
:40:33
He shaved his head, was given
a wooden bowl and was happy.
:40:37
Till Aunt Vi came.
:40:39
Why? What did she do?
:40:41
Lived in a hut, even took vows,
or whatever women do.
:40:46
Anything to be near him,
to get to him, to make him come home.
:40:50
While there, word came.
:40:53
Mr. Venable was dying.
He had to see her.
:40:56
And she chose to stay?
:40:59
She chose to let her husband
die alone.
