You never think about her wanting
to be proud of you.

1:02:04
Or about small tendernesses.
1:02:07
You locked yourself away
behind that wall of yours.

1:02:10
A protective shell you built
to keep out intruders.

1:02:13
Why couldn't you have
been more needing?

1:02:15
Make me feel wanted, necessary?
1:02:17
It's a damn give-and-take--
Take it away, I'm not hungry.

1:02:21
What did you come here for,
a moral lecture?

1:02:25
No.
1:02:26
You wanted to get approval of
your marriage to that military asshole.

1:02:29
Well, I damn well don't need either.
1:02:31
I'm doing very well with my life
right now, thank you.

1:02:33
I don't need any
of your goddamn charity.

1:02:37
That's the trouble, you never did.
1:02:39
Just what did you think
you'd get by coming here?

1:02:43
Can I have another drink?
1:02:57
Here's to us, to all our mistakes
and all our losses.

1:03:10
Tommy.
1:03:13
Sorry I said all those things.
1:03:17
Well,
1:03:19
those things are good for me.
I've been saying them myself.

1:03:23
Quite often, for a long time now.
1:03:28
Do you remember skiing
at Schruns that year?

1:03:30
The year that Joan came
to stay with us.

1:03:33
I remember everything.
1:03:34
All three of us together.
1:03:37
When you came down from work
you had two lovelies

1:03:39
waiting for you and in love with you
and a little boy who adored you.

1:03:43
I think of it quite often.
1:03:45
So happy together.
1:03:47
Remember skiing with Tommy
on your shoulders?

1:03:50
How we'd sing together,
1:03:52
coming down through the orchard
behind the inn at dusk.

1:03:56
That was the year
of all the avalanches.

1:03:59
Yes, we were snowed in
for a week that year, remember?
