:16:01
You could change your mind.
:16:03
People do.
:16:05
l'm here as long as you need me.
:16:08
There's always my Anna.
:16:11
Your Anna has never wanted
to be involved with us.

:16:15
She is my daughter.
:16:18
Anna has never been
very daughterly...

:16:21
and you have never been
very motherly.

But this is August, dear.
:17:28
What does time matter?
:17:31
Well, time is time.
:17:34
Yes, if you wear it
like a wet blanket.

:17:41
Matthew died in November.
:17:45

:17:47
Matthew's month
will be--be mine.

:17:54
Why don't you go about
