1:05:02
why did you give such
a lousy performance?

1:05:05
a lousy performance? mmm-hmm.
1:05:07
that just shows how little you know.
1:05:09
I've never acted better in my life.
1:05:12
balls. you were awful.
1:05:14
they adored me tonight.
1:05:15
the public are jackasses.
1:05:17
you were barnstorming.
1:05:18
false from beginning to end.
1:05:19
how dare you speak to me like that,
1:05:22
you little shit?
1:05:23
get out of my room! what do you know?
1:05:26
you can strike me,
1:05:27
you can swear at me, you
can yell the roof off.

1:05:29
the fact remains that your
acting has gone all to hell.

1:05:32
and I'm not going to
start rehearsing nowadays

1:05:34
with you playing up like a drama
queen suffering from asthma.

1:05:37
get someone else to play the part!
1:05:39
don't be stupid, Julia!
1:05:42
I'm taking the play off on Saturday.
1:05:44
and then I want you to go abroad.
1:05:48
have a break.
1:05:49
go and see your mother in jersey.
1:05:51
we'll start rehearsing
nowadays when you...

1:05:56
when you get back.
1:06:03
am I really that bad?
1:06:07
yes.
1:06:13
don't let the world
outside cheapen your gifts.

1:06:21
and what Jimmie Langton used to say:
1:06:24
"your only reality is the theatre."
1:06:26
I hate myself. I'm a slut.
1:06:29
I'm just a rotten bitch.
rotten through and through.

1:06:33
nevertheless, you're a great actress.
1:06:39
not tonight.
1:06:40
no. not tonight.
1:06:44
oh, darling, I'm--I'm
tired out. I...

1:06:47
so stupid of
me. I should--

1:06:53
you're right. you're right.
1:06:58
the only thing is to go away.
