I've made allowances because you come
from a part of the country where people...

:53:08
(clears throat)
:53:10
...women, I should say, come from,
for whom allowances must be made.

:53:14
I have decided nevertheless
:53:17
to...
:53:21
Miss Sullivan, I find it difficult
to talk through those glasses.

:53:26
Why do you wear them?
The sun's been down for an hour.

:53:31
Any kind of light hurts my eyes.
:53:37
Put them on, Miss Sullivan.
:53:41
I've decided...
:53:45
to give you another chance.
:53:48
- To do what?
- To remain in our employ.

:53:50
But on two conditions.
I'm not used to rudeness.

:53:52
There must be a radical
change of manner.

:53:55
- Whose?
- Yours, young lady! Isn't it obvious?

:53:58
And persuade me there's
a hope of your teaching a child

:54:01
who flees from you like the plague
to anyone in this house.

:54:04
- There isn't.
- What, Miss Annie?

:54:06
It's hopeless here.
:54:08
- Do I understand...
- If we agree it's hopeless...

:54:10
Miss Annie, I'm not agreed.
:54:14
She did fold her napkin.
:54:17
She learns.
:54:18
She learns.
:54:21
Do you know she began talking
when she was six months old?

:54:24
She could say water.
:54:27
Well, not really.
:54:29
Wah-wah.
:54:32
Wah-wah.
:54:36
But she meant water. She knew
what it meant, and only six months old.

:54:41
I never saw a child so bright or outgoing.
:54:50
It's still in there somewhere, isn't it?
