I would hazard that she is delighted
we are by ourselves...

:59:07
and I imagine the longer we are gone,
the less anxious she will be.

:59:10
Do not mock me.
You do not consider me a prospect...

:59:14
but a plaything, and I consider you neither.
:59:17
To treat me this way in a public place
could ruin my reputation.

:59:21
And every chance for a decent
and loving marriage will be gone.

:59:24
If it's privacy you want, let me give it to you.
But I'll have what I want and wait no more.

:59:36
I have a genuine interest in Shakespeare.
:59:39
Mother, may we go?
:59:41
It was delightful to see you.
:59:43
- Mother, please.
- Is something wrong?

:59:51
Uncle...
:59:54
I have been wounded past all healing...
:59:58
and by your friends.
1:00:00
What can you mean? I have no friends.
1:00:03
If they are not your friends, then more
shame on you for bringing me among them.

1:00:07
I see you have
some of the boy's blood in you.

1:00:12
I hope I have.
1:00:14
I should be proud.
1:00:18
You know what happened under this roof.
1:00:22
Last night was far worse.
1:00:26
You have influence with these men.
1:00:28
One word from you would induce
them to desist.

1:00:32
What of it if an old man whispers
inanities in your ear on Monday?

1:00:36
Some other novelty
will spring up on Tuesday.

1:00:38
In the meantime, you must be practical.
1:00:41
The money that allows me
to help you and your mother...

1:00:44
in some portion comes from these men.
1:00:50
Uncle...
1:00:53
I am grateful
for all that you have done for us...

1:00:58
but do not mistake me.
