1:18:01
that's your world, not mine.
1:18:03
and it stifles me.
1:18:06
what do you mean?
1:18:07
once, when I was a kid,
1:18:08
I was standing in the
wings watching you on-stage.

1:18:12
it must've been a pretty moving scene
1:18:14
because I couldn't stop blubbing.
1:18:16
you moved to the side of the stage
1:18:18
near where I was standing
1:18:19
and you turned your back on
the audience, and you said,

1:18:22
in your ordinary voice:
1:18:24
"what the bloody hell the
electrician thought he was doing

1:18:27
with the bright lights."
1:18:27
and then in the same breath,
with a great cry of anguish

1:18:31
you just went on with the scene.
1:18:33
that was acting.
1:18:37
if I-- if
I truly felt

1:18:38
all the emotions I was representing,
1:18:40
I'd be a wreck.
1:18:41
you have a performance for everyone.
1:18:43
for the servants, for
daddy, for everybody.

1:18:46
and I don't think you really exist.
1:18:49
Roger!
1:18:49
once you told me something.
I don't remember exactly what,

1:18:53
but the exact same night
1:18:54
you said the same line on the stage.
1:18:56
even the things you say are second hand.
1:19:00
all I want is for you to be happy.
1:19:03
you should talk this
over with your father.

1:19:06
mmm, daddy's worse than you are.
1:19:08
but he only acts one part, thank god,
1:19:11
and that's the
handsomest man in England.

1:19:12
then talk it over with
someone of your own age, then.

1:19:16
tom, for instance.
1:19:18
tom?
1:19:18
I thought you liked him.
1:19:20
no, I didn't like him at all.
1:19:27
you've dropped him, haven't you?
1:19:33
I...
1:19:35
I suppose I have, more or less.
1:19:38
good. he wasn't worthy of you.
1:19:45
Roger, do you think I'm getting old?
1:19:52
no, not you.
1:19:58
mmm, tom's little tart's
in your play, I hear.
