Hush... Hush, Sweet Charlotte

1:58:01
That's exactly what I did.
1:58:03
Do you still feel
you have the imagination...

1:58:06
to be the senior member
of this partnership?

1:58:13
Evidently not.
1:58:17
I didn't know you had
such a dulcet baritone.

1:58:21
Well, you attended the wrong Sunday school
when I was a choirboy.

1:58:25
So, you see, my dear...
1:58:27
you've joined this game
somewhat later than you thought.

1:58:30
I did indeed.
1:58:32
If you'd known earlier,
would you have trusted me...

1:58:34
not to put real bullets
in that gun tonight?

1:58:37
No, ma'am, Miss Miriam.
I don't believe I would.

1:58:43
I would be careful
not to over-celebrate too soon.

1:58:47
We've still got one more show
to put on first thing in the morning.

1:58:50
- So early?
- Yes.

1:58:53
I asked the folks from the state institution
to come over here about 10:00.

1:58:56
You mean I shall have
to wring my hands...

1:58:58
in abject misery
and humiliation...

1:59:01
at the disgrace of having a member
of our fine old family...

1:59:05
committed to
the local madhouse?

1:59:07
Fine old family, indeed.
1:59:09
Sam Hollis was nothing but
a thieving, fat fraud. And...

1:59:17
- And furthermore...
1:59:19
he and John Mayhew...
1:59:22
were the biggest
two damn womanizers...

1:59:25
in the whole state of Louisiana.
1:59:28
Oh, dear, all that lovely money...
1:59:30
that Big Sam sweated
to get his hands on.

1:59:33
While we're spending it
like water...

1:59:35
Charlotte will be weaving lots
and lots of little baskets.

1:59:39
Oh, don't distress yourself, darling.
1:59:41
There's nothing wrong
with basket weaving.

1:59:45
Of course,
it never cured anybody...

1:59:48
but it is most therapeutic.
1:59:53
I can just see Charlotte's face
when those doctors at the institution...

1:59:57
call you in
to confirm their opinion.
