:36:02
make you give me a house,
entrap you into half a dozen children...

:36:05
and seduce you
into a life so... so...

:36:10
oh...
[Groans]

:36:12
So remorselessly satisfying...
:36:14
that within two years,
under my management...

:36:17
you will come to me with a camera
full of baby pictures...

:36:19
saying life can be beautiful.
:36:21
And ugly.
More often U-G-L-Y.

:36:24
You're gonna give me
a piano to sing around...

:36:27
and a fireplace to lie in front of...
:36:30
and each and every Christmas we are going
to send out personalized Christmas cards...

:36:34
with a group family portrait on the front,
taken by Alfred Chamberlain.

:36:38
Mother, Daddy? Alfred and I
are getting married next week.

:36:41
[Exhales]
You got yourself a fine young man.

:36:46
And so accomplished.
:36:49
We'll have to let Dr. Paterson
know right away.

:36:52
- Who?
- The minister, dopey.

:36:55
Mrs. Newquist.
Mrs. Newquist, listen.

:36:57
When you speak to the minister,
you better tell him...

:37:00
we don't want any mention
of God in the ceremony.

:37:02
- What?
- I'm gonna have him arrested!

:37:05
No God in the ceremony, hmm?
:37:11
Getting a lot of turndowns,
aren't you?

:37:16
Surprising, isn't it, how the name of God
is still respected in this town.

:37:21
[Sighs]
:37:24
Your father and me go back
a long ways, young lady.

:37:27
He's done me a lot of favors.
:37:29
Got me tickets to shows.
:37:32
I'd like to help him out.
:37:35
My mother... thank God
she's not alive today...

:37:38
landed in this country
65 years ago.

:37:40
Four infants in her arms.
:37:42
Kissed the sidewalk the minute she got
off the boat, she was so happy to be here...

:37:46
to be out of Russia alive...
across the ocean alive.

:37:49
More dead than alive,
if you want to know the truth.

:37:53
Sixteen days in the steerage,
15 people got consumption...

:37:56
five died!
:37:59
My father... thank God
he's not alive today...
