:29:00
Does she have a lover?
:29:02
I'll allow that.
The witness will answer, please.

:29:07
Yes, I'm seeing someone now.
:29:10
Is that... permanent?
:29:14
I don't know.
:29:15
We don't know
when you say permanently...

:29:18
...if you plan to live in New York,
or keep your child, for that matter...

:29:22
...since you've never done anything
that could be regarded as permanent.

:29:27
Objection. I request the counsel be
prevented from harassing the witness.

:29:31
Sustained.
:29:33
I'll put it another way, counselor.
:29:36
What was the longest personal
relationship in your life...

:29:39
...outside of parents or girlfriends?
:29:44
I suppose that would be my child.
:29:46
Whom you've seen twice in a year.
:29:49
Mrs. Kramer, your ex-husband...
:29:53
...wasn't he the longest
personal relationship in your life?

:30:00
Would you speak up?
I couldn't hear you.

:30:03
Yes.
:30:05
How long was that?
:30:08
We were married a year
before the baby...

:30:12
...and seven years after.
:30:13
So you were a failure at the most
important relationship in your life.

:30:17
- Objection.
- Overruled.

:30:19
The witness's opinion on this
is relevant.

:30:23
I was not a failure.
:30:25
What do you call it, a success?
The marriage ended in divorce.

:30:29
I consider it less my failure
than his.

:30:31
Congratulations.
:30:33
You've just rewritten matrimonial law.
You were both divorced.

:30:37
Objection!
:30:39
Your Honor, I would like to ask
what this model of stability...

:30:43
...and respectability
has ever succeeded at.

:30:46
Were you a failure at the one most
important relationship in your life?

:30:52
- It did not succeed.
- Not it, Mrs. Kramer, you.

:30:58
Were you a failure at the one most
important relationship in your life?
