:14:00
Dad's business is
international trade or something.

:14:04
Where's your home?
I mean, your real home?

:14:08
I'm not sure exactly.
We've got a place in Arizona.

:14:11
I've never really seen it.
It's for winter and I go to school then.

:14:15
They've got an apartment in Paris. Used
to, anyway. They stay in a hotel here.

:14:20
You miss them very much?
:14:23
I used to, but I guess I'm like you now.
:14:26
The only time I really miss my dad is
six in the evening when it's getting dark

:14:31
and we're gonna sit down for dinner,
just the three of us - Mom, Boothy and me.

:14:35
- You know Lillian Kafritz?
- Stringy-haired girl?

:14:37
- I can't stand her.
- Why does she put that guck in her hair?

:14:41
Isn't it awful? I was having dinner
at her house one night

:14:44
and about six o'clock
her father came home from the office.

:14:47
He bought Mrs Kafritz
a bushel of roasted chestnuts

:14:50
and a couple of crummy little bunches
of violets for Lillian and me.

:14:54
How corny can you get?
:14:57
- You think your dad'll ever come back?
- How can he?

:15:00
He's married again
and got a couple of kids.

:15:03
- But how do you know he's happy?
- He's crazy about her.

:15:08
I know, but...
just suppose he suddenly realised

:15:11
his second marriage was a tragic mistake.
:15:14
His eyes are opened at last
and he knows now that your mother

:15:17
is the only woman
he's ever loved in his whole life.

:15:21
I don't think there's much chance of that.
:15:23
So there's nothing to do but to tell her
the truth. The second wife, I mean.

:15:28
He's simply got to go back to the only
woman he's ever loved in his whole life.

:15:32
Goodbye, second wife.
:15:35
- You think that's possible?
- He's got no choice.

:15:37
He can't live a lie, can he?
He's got to go back to his one true love.

:15:43
Maybe... during Christmas.
:15:46
- Christmas Eve, maybe.
- About six o'clock.

:15:49
You and your mother are all alone
trimming the tree when the doorbell rings.

:15:54
- I'd be the one to answer it.
- You'd be wondering who it could be.

:15:58
You weren't expecting anyone.
