1:09:01
Because if we, or their parents,
or adults generally, are on their level...
1:09:05
then who are they going to go to
when they're really in trouble?
1:09:08
Do you mean Marvel Ann
couldn't talk to me?
1:09:11
Couldn't come to me for understanding?
1:09:13
Sister, when a 4-year-old gets hurt...
1:09:15
he doesn't go running to his friend
for consolation.
1:09:18
- He goes crying home to mother.
- Marvel Ann isn't four years old.
1:09:22
But she's still a child, and in that respect,
most of us remain children.
1:09:26
She was hurt and upset, and she didn't
want a friend, she wanted a mother.
1:09:31
- Are you saying I've failed with the girls?
- No.
1:09:35
You're a smashing success
with the girls, on their level...
1:09:38
and if you don't change,
that's where you'll remain.
1:09:41
They need and want more than that from us.
1:09:43
If it's wrong for me
to be on the same level with the girls...
1:09:48
then it's equally wrong for you to be
so far above them you can't be reached.
1:09:52
I know you're upset.
1:09:54
You enjoy the nun mystique, don't you,
Mother, as it places you above the ordinary?
1:09:58
- It makes you something special.
- Don't say things you'll regret.
1:10:02
You resent me because I represent change,
and you don't want change.
1:10:10
It's only natural to cling
to what one understands.
1:10:14
Even if that understanding is limited?
1:10:17
Nothing which remains static can survive!
That is the truth, Mother.
1:10:23
And there are also some truths
you had better face, Sister.
1:10:25
Like whether or not I'm fit to be a nun?
1:10:29
I didn't pose the question, Sister.
1:10:33
You did.
1:10:35
Now you answer it.
1:10:44
Goodbye, Mr. Farriday.
1:10:47
That's a beauty, Mr. Farriday.
I'll treasure it forever.
1:10:51
Excuse me.
1:10:55
Mr. Farriday, thank you very much
for everything.
