You're an extremely romantic woman,
Mrs. Treadwell, aren't you?

1:06:06
It's been the handicap of my life.
1:06:10
I can't settle for things.
Bernard Shaw said it, didn't he?

1:06:15
"If you can't get what you want...
1:06:17
...you better damn well settle
for what you can get."

1:06:20
What did you want, Mrs. Treadwell?
1:06:24
A useful life.
1:06:27
Someone to love me. Forever.
1:06:31
Ridiculous of me, wasn't it?
1:06:35
And what happened?
1:06:40
I chose the wrong man. How many times
have you heard that said, I wonder.

1:06:47
He was the most promising.
The most handsome.

1:06:51
He had the most glorious facade.
1:06:54
The facade was all there was.
1:06:58
He made me the best-known wife
of the best-known skirt-chaser...

1:07:02
...in the community.
1:07:04
I made life hell for him.
1:07:09
It ended in the divorce courts.
1:07:12
We met one day in the corridor
outside the courtroom.

1:07:16
He struck me.
1:07:20
I took every penny he had.
1:07:28
So you must forgive me if I'm not
exactly receptive to the idea...

1:07:32
...of other people's happiness
in marriage. I'm envious.

1:07:41
You and your wife probably have the
closest thing to a perfect life one can get.

1:07:52
Nothing is perfect, Mrs. Treadwell.
1:07:59
I just wanted to tell you that I would have
bought the champagne.
