I-I've watched you for weeks,
like all the girls watch you...

:10:04
and I was excited and flattered
when you came on to me.

:10:09
So I baked you this pie
and, and we had dinner.

:10:13
Only I don't know who you are.
:10:16
I know who your family is
and what they do...

:10:18
and suddenly I'm starting to wonder
whether I belong in this conversation.

:10:24
I don't like feeling that way.
:10:28
Well.
:10:31
- Oh.
- I love you said that.

:10:36
I didn't say it to impress you.
:10:39

:11:25
You and Ted haven't known

:11:30

of you until this morning.

:11:35
But it's always a thrill for a mother
to hear that sort of excitement...

:11:38
in her son's voice.
:11:42
So I hope you
won't misunderstand...

:11:44
what I have to say.
:11:48
I want you to know, Rose, that
we're a very liberal family...

:11:51
- I couldn't believe what she was telling me.
- and we know several very...

:11:54
- charming Oriental people.
- It was straight out
of some awful racist movie...

:11:56
- It's just that Ted
is going to be working...
