1:11:00
Oh, we're not bachelors.
1:11:01
We're divorced.
1:11:03
That is, Oscar's divorced,
1:11:05
and I'm getting, uh...
1:11:07
Oh, small world!
1:11:09
We've cut the dinghy loose,
too, as they say.

1:11:12
Well, you couldn't have
1:11:13
a better-matched
foursome, could you?

1:11:15
I suppose not.
1:11:17
Although technically I am a widow.
1:11:19
I was divorcing my husband,
1:11:22
but he died before
the final papers came through.

1:11:29
Oh, I'm awfully sorry.
1:11:30
Divorce is a terrible
thing, isn't it?

1:11:32
Oh, it can be
1:11:33
if you haven't
got the right solicitor.

1:11:35
Now, that's true.
1:11:36
Sometimes it can drag out for months.
1:11:38
I was lucky. Snip, cut,
and I was free.

1:11:40
Oh, but of course,
1:11:42
that's all water
under the bridge now, isn't it?

1:11:48
I'm terribly sorry.
1:11:49
I think I've forgotten your name.
1:11:51
Felix.
1:11:52
Of course. Felix.
1:11:53
Like the cat.
1:11:54
Cat.
1:11:56
Oh, well, the Pigeons
1:11:58
will have to beware
of the cat, won't they?

1:12:00
That's terrible. Quit it!
1:12:01
Here.
1:12:05
That's the worst part
about breaking up.

1:12:09
Childhood sweethearts, were you?
1:12:11
No. That's my little boy and girl.
1:12:14
He's 7, and she's 5.
1:12:16
Oh, sweet.
1:12:18
They live with their mother.
1:12:20
I imagine you must
miss them terribly.

1:12:22
Oh, I can't stand
being away from them,

1:12:25
but that's what happens
with divorce.

1:12:27
When do you get to see them?
1:12:28
Every night.
1:12:29
I drop by on the way home,
1:12:31
and I take them on weekends,
1:12:32
and I get them on holidays...
July and August.

1:12:36
Well, when is it that you miss them?
1:12:38
Whenever I'm not there.
1:12:40
If they didn't have to
go to school so early,

1:12:41
I'd get up and make them breakfast.
1:12:43
They love my French toast.
1:12:44
Well, you certainly are
a devoted father.

1:12:47
Oh, it's Frances
who's the wonderful one.

1:12:49
She's the little girl?
1:12:50
No, she's the mother...
my wife.

1:12:52
What, the one you're divorcing?
1:12:53
Yeah. She's done a terrific job
1:12:54
in bringing them up.
1:12:56
They always look so nice, so polite,
1:12:58
speak beautifully.
1:12:59
Never "yeah," always "yes."
