I tell you who was a songwriter
and a dancer and a playwright
and everything.
1:27:06
Eugene Tyszkiewicz.
But Mother got rid of him in 1 5 minutes.
1:27:10
- He didn't speak English well.
He'd only been here seven years.
- You didn't try his cooking.
1:27:14
- He might've poisoned you.
- He was Serge Obelensky's nephew.
1:27:17
-You wanna marry a stranger?
-I mean, he was a very, very decent guy.
1:27:21
- I looked up his horoscope.
He was born November the 1 4th.
- You want to marry a stranger?
1:27:25
- I have to go in now.
- We was a very wonderful boy.
Too young for me, probably-- 3 2.
1:27:29
- Who was this ?
- Eugene Tyszkiewicz. He was a twin.
1:27:32
- I couldn't stand having
another cook in this house.
- That isn't the point.
1:27:35
And he actually proposed,
under the window.
1:27:39
- He had no home.
He was living in a third-class hotel.
- Under the window.
1:27:43
- He didn't have a thing.
- He said, '' Edith, if you want
to get married, I'll marry you.''
1:27:47
- Not one single nickel.
- And I think that
was decent, don't you ?
1:27:50
- I don't see why.
- He probably wouldn't have,
but just the same.
1:27:54
Not one person had entered
Grey Gardens for many years...
1:27:57
before Eugene Tyszkiewicz
came around.
1:28:01
So I credit him
with all the nerve in the world.
1:28:05
Why; no one
would even speak to us.
1:28:07
People who I had walked
to the Maidstone Club with for years.
1:28:11
- Don't believe a word of it.
- Admiring all the other people.
1:28:14
- Don't believe
a word of it, kid. Not a word.
- All the other people--
1:28:18
- [ Rambling ]
- If your father could hear you,
he'd turn in his grave.
1:28:21
He'd say, '' My God, Edie !''
1:28:23
Well; anyway; I think
you were very cruel; Mother.
1:28:26
- Well, I don't think it's nice.
- He came from one of the best
families in Poland.
1:28:29
And he was related to the Obelenskys.
1:28:31
And I think it's terrible that
she wouldn't give me a chance
with Eugene Tyszkiewicz.
1:28:36
- That was absolutely cruel
to drive the only beau away !
- But he was 3 2 !
1:28:40
- Do you want to marry a man 3 2 ?
- I don't care !
That was the only one...
1:28:44
besides these horrible people
that came around here !
1:28:48
- Have you got your thing
lighted for that ?
-[ David ] Yeah; we're all lit.
1:28:51
- He was only 3 2
and from a very good family !
- 3 2, and she's 52 !
1:28:56
And she got rid of him
in 1 5 minutes flat !
1:28:59
- No, he didn't. He said--
- I'm bored with all these
awful people likeJerry !
