"What does she want to see us about?"
:32:05
- Didn't I say that, Mother?
- Yes.

:32:08
Something you couldn't discuss
over the phone, you said.

:32:10
- Yes. That's right, Dad. I...
- Well...

:32:13
...I narrowed it down
to three possibilities:

:32:17
Health, emotion or money.
:32:22
Let's take health.
Is there someone ill?

:32:26
No, I ruled that out myself.
I distinctly remember asking...

:32:29
...about everyone's health,
and your answer was positive.

:32:32
Without hesitation.
:32:35
Which brings us to...
:32:37
...emotion.
:32:39
At your age, a euphemism for divorce.
:32:44
Well, you never came to see us
to talk about marrying him...

:32:47
...so why should you come
to talk about divorcing him?

:32:50
No, a divorce can be handled
in a phone call.

:32:54
So...
:32:56
...it's money.
:32:58
You're broke. That's it, isn't it?
:33:01
Who ever said Sherlock Holmes
was dead, eh, Mom?

:33:03
I was right, Mother, they're broke.
:33:07
Dick hasn't had a job in
over three months, Dad.

:33:10
Why didn't you tell us before, dear?
:33:12
We were sure he could get a job
and didn't want to worry you.

:33:16
I unloaded my aerospace stock the day
they landed on the moon. I knew...

:33:20
...that was the peak.
I was right.

:33:23
It's a depressed industry.
:33:25
Depressed and depressing.
:33:27
- I was right about the stocks.
- You certainly were.

:33:32
Jane...
:33:34
...l'll make it easier for you.
:33:36
You've come here to borrow
money, haven't you?

:33:39
Yes, Dad.
:33:42
Well, I'd love to help you.
I really would.

:33:45
But I can't. I'm just opposed to
borrowing or lending on principle.

:33:51
Self-reliance. It's like a...
:33:55
...religious thing to me.
:33:58
Ralph Waldo Emerson.
