1:09:01
Ida, I've got a case.
1:09:03
Jenny, what you've got
is a technicality.

1:09:06
I'm gonna lay it
out for you...

1:09:08
just the way the lawyers
laid it out for me.

1:09:09
The records were searched,
and the adoption was legitimate.

1:09:12
What did you say?
1:09:13
I said the adoption was
legitimate, as far as it went.

1:09:16
But there's such a thing
as second papers.

1:09:18
Now, don't ask me
what they are.

1:09:19
They're second papers,
and you never signed them.

1:09:21
Thank heaven for me.
1:09:23
That means if you want
to fight it, you can.

1:09:24
Now, no guarantees,
a whole long McGill in court.

1:09:27
Frankly, darling,
it's a long shot.

1:09:29
Did you tell them
to go ahead?

1:09:31
No, I didn't tell them
anything just yet.

1:09:33
Well, tell them so.
1:09:44
George, will you please
call the lawyers.

1:09:49
Jenny, right now,
at this moment...

1:09:52
you're on top of a career you've
been building for over 20 years.

1:09:55
For half that time,
I've been with you...

1:09:57
so I know a little bit
about the subject.

1:10:01
I can't stand by and watch you
destroy it and yourself.

1:10:05
If you fight this case,
you might win.

1:10:07
It's possible. I don't know.
1:10:08
But do you realize
what it would mean?

1:10:09
You couldn't be in Rome
one week, Miami the next.

1:10:12
You'd have to stay
here in England...

1:10:13
and fight it out in the courts.
Jenny, the boy's got a home...

1:10:16
he's got a father, a school,
a way of life.

1:10:18
You can't jump
into the middle of that...

1:10:20
and start making
all kinds of waves.

1:10:22
George, please.
1:10:24
All right. Suppose you got him,
what would you do with him?

1:10:28
Trail him around the world
with a tutor from date to date.

1:10:30
Hotel suites, rented cars,
other people's houses.

1:10:33
And they're pretty strict
in England about schools.

1:10:34
You might have to send him
to a school...

1:10:36
and come and visit him
now and then at vacation time.

1:10:38
Jenny, you'd be strangers,
don't you see?

1:10:42
All right, all right.
1:10:45
What would happen to you?
1:10:47
How would you be able to work
with this pull all the time?

1:10:50
Do you know how
to handle a small boy?

1:10:52
It's a full-time job.
Forgive me, dear...

1:10:56
but I don't think you know
how to do it.

1:10:58
This, all this,
this is your job.
