- He leaves his wife--
- He was running two of
his family's magazines now...

:15:11
- and there were four or five
business affairs each week.
-...a 23-year-old girl.

:15:14
-I was glad to help
and knew he appreciated it.
-It just doesn't make any sense.

:15:18
I just don't understand
that at all. I don't--

:15:20

:16:41
You've had a hard day.
I-I don't really care.

:16:44
I-- I just want you to...
:16:49
be happy.
:16:57
Honey, what's wrong?
