00:15:56Not that my marriage isn't going to make any difference to the school
00:16:00It will carry you know, it will it can't help it. You keep saying things like that. We've talked about all this before
00:16:06You know Joe isn't asking me to give it up and I'm not going to leave
00:16:10Of course, I don't know what I could be thinking of
00:16:27I
00:16:32Don't understand you
00:16:33It's been so hard building this place up and now just when we're getting on our feet
00:16:37You're ready to let it all go right there
00:16:39Oh
00:16:55Martha for God's sake you expect me to give up my marriage
00:17:01No, of course not I'm sorry Karen, I don't know how I could be so selfish
00:17:08Please forgive me
00:17:12I already have
00:17:16It's been a long day we both need some sleep
00:17:21Yes, you're right who has the cooking detail for breakfast I do
00:17:31Karen you know, don't you that I only want the best for you
00:17:37I
00:17:40Know
00:18:07You
00:18:19This proves me base if she first made the curl of Anthony
00:18:23He'll make demands of her and spend that kiss
00:18:27Is my head now? Can't you imagine yourself as Cleopatra talking to an ass?
00:18:38This
00:18:42Not intricate of life at once in Thai poor venomous fool
00:18:48Be angry and a match. Well, Mary, are you just arriving for your elocution class?
00:18:54Well, if you take no interest in your work that oh, I went to get these flowers for you. Mrs
00:19:00Mortar you told us you'd love flowers and I walked so far to get them for you
00:19:04That was very thoughtful of you Mary. Mm-hmm. I suppose I'll have to forgive you this time
00:19:10thoughtfulness and courtesy mean breeding and
00:19:13Breeding is an excellent thing. I think you should write that down all of you. You wrote it down last week
00:19:20Put them in the bars for me Mary
00:19:22Yes, ma'am Oh
00:19:27Everybody's just been reading Cleopatra for us. That's nice
00:19:32Mary just brought me a gift of some flowers. Oh, what did you get the Mary? She picked them specially for me
00:19:41Where did you get the Mary
00:19:45Down in the lake I
00:19:48See
00:19:51That'll be all girls, thank you
00:19:56Mary I have to get my biology, but for the next class you waited
00:20:01Wasn't necessary to go down to the lake for those flowers. There's a bunch exactly like these in the trash barrels early this morning
00:20:07Oh, what a nasty thing to do
00:20:10What a nasty thing
00:20:15Come and sit down
00:20:18Mary
00:20:20Why do you do these things? Why do you lie to us so often? I'm not lying
00:20:25Look, if you have to do things to let off steam or for adventure come and tell us about it
00:20:32Tell us the truth. I promise you will try to understand I
00:20:40Picked the flowers down near the lake
00:20:42All right, Mary you leave me no choice you'll have to be punished
00:20:45Take your recreation periods alone. No field hockey. No swimming and do not leave the school grounds for any reason whatsoever
00:20:52Saturday to Saturday to but the boat races are Saturday and you said I'd be here for the boat races
00:20:57I thought you meant Monday
00:20:59I didn't mean Monday. I mean Monday
00:21:02I thought you meant Saturday
00:21:04You didn't mean Monday. I mean Monday
00:21:06grounds for any reason whatsoever.
00:21:08Saturday too?
00:21:09Saturday too.
00:21:10But the boat races are Saturday, and you said I could go.
00:21:13Boat races were a privilege which you've lost.
00:21:15I'll tell my grandmother.
00:21:17I'll tell her how you treat me and how you punish me.
00:21:20Go upstairs, Mary.
00:21:26I don't feel well.
00:21:29I've got a pain.
00:21:33It hurts here.
00:21:35I've never had it before!
00:21:38My heart!
00:21:39It's stopping or something!
00:21:41I can't breathe!
00:21:42I can't!
00:21:43I can't!
00:21:53It's nothing.
00:21:55You better telephone Joe and ask him to come over.
00:21:58Oh!
00:21:59Oh!
00:22:00What happened?
00:22:01Did she fall?
00:22:02No, I was disciplining her and-
00:22:04And you finally hit her?
00:22:05No, of course not.
00:22:07She just seems to have fainted.
00:22:08Oh, maybe it's a heart attack.
00:22:11Now, I think the feet should be higher than the head.
00:22:17Try it here.
00:22:19Where?
00:22:20Here, here.
00:22:21Oh, there?
00:22:22Yes, there, a most important spot.
00:22:24Ah.
00:22:25Oh, yes, yes, indeed.
00:22:26When Delia Lambert had that heart attack
00:22:28in Buffalo, right on the stage, that was the spot.
00:22:32Did this Delia survive?
00:22:34Oh, yes, I saved her.
00:22:35How's her pulse?
00:22:37Well, the pulse is very bad.
00:22:40Now, I'm afraid she's slipping away.
00:22:42There's no heartbeat at all.
00:22:43Oh!
00:22:44We'll need a specialist.
00:22:45Perhaps you, doctor, would condescend to take over.
00:22:48What, what?
00:22:50Now, heart attacks are nothing to play with.
00:22:52Never played with one in my life.
00:22:53As the child's teacher, I think I should-
00:22:55Mrs. Morris, please.
00:23:05Well, I was practically put out of the room.
00:23:12So you don't resent your aunt being snubbed and humiliated.
00:23:15Oh, Aunt Lily.
00:23:16Karen is rude to me, and you know it.
00:23:18Karen is very kind to you.
00:23:20And what's even harder, very patient.
00:23:22Patient with me?
00:23:23When I've worked my fingers to the bone for both of you.
00:23:26Yes, to the bone, to the very bone.
00:23:29Aunt Lily.
00:23:31You've talked about going back to New York
00:23:33for a long time now.
00:23:35It's been years.
00:23:36Oh, I'll never live to play on Broadway again.
00:23:40But you will, Aunt Lily, you will.
00:23:41You can go back to New York.
00:23:44So you want to get rid of me?
00:23:45I'm only trying to give you something you've always wanted.
00:23:48You keep talking about the theater
00:23:49and the great new opportunities in television
00:23:51that you're missing.
00:23:53I'm not talking about the theater.
00:23:54I'm talking about you.
00:23:56The new opportunities in television that you're missing?
00:23:58Turning me out.
00:24:00Nice, grateful girls.
00:24:02How can anybody deal with you?
00:24:04Please do not raise your voice.
00:24:07I shall write to my agents
00:24:09when they have a suitable part for me.
00:24:11No.
00:24:13I don't think we should wait that long.
00:24:14I'll give you what little money we have now.
00:24:17You think I'd take your money.
00:24:19Oh, I'd rather scrub floors first.
00:24:21You'll change your mind after the first floor.
00:24:24Oh, I should have known by this time
00:24:26that the wise thing to do is to stay out of your way
00:24:29when he's in the house.
00:24:33When who's in the house?
00:24:35Don't think you're fooling me, young lady.
00:24:37Any day that he's in the house is a bad day.
00:24:43Now, look.
00:24:47Let's give it up. I'm tired.
00:24:49I've been working since 6 o'clock this morning.
00:24:51I know what I'm doing.
00:24:53You know what I know.
00:24:55You can't stand them being together,
00:24:57and you're taking it out on me.
00:24:59Well, God knows what you'll do when they marry.
00:25:01Jealous, jealous.
00:25:03Aunt Lily, you've always had a jealous,
00:25:05possessive nature, even as a child.
00:25:07If you had a friend, you'd be upset
00:25:09if she liked anybody else,
00:25:11and that's what's happening now, and it's unnatural.
00:25:13It's just as unnatural as it can be.
00:25:15The sooner you get out of here, the better.
00:25:17You are making me sick,
00:25:19and I won't stand for you any longer.
00:25:21Tomorrow, no delays.
00:25:32What are you doing down here?
00:25:34I was going up...
00:25:37I was going upstairs.
00:25:39We just came down to see how Mary was and...
00:25:41I think you came down to listen deliberately.
00:25:43Oh, we didn't mean to.
00:25:45Now, eavesdropping is something
00:25:47that nice young ladies just don't do.
00:25:49You wait outside in the hall.
00:25:51I'll talk to you later.
00:25:56You should not be around children.
00:25:58When you're at your best, you're not for tender ears.
00:26:00So now it's my fault, is it?
00:26:02Well, you'd better look to yourself
00:26:04and not continue to blame me for everything.
00:26:07What's the matter with the duchess?
00:26:09Rehearsing an exit in case she finds the right play.
00:26:12How's Mary?
00:26:14Strong as a mule.
00:26:16I don't know who's teaching feinting around here,
00:26:18but she flunked.
00:26:20You know, we've about reached the end of our rope with that child.
00:26:22Someone should talk to Mrs. Tilford about Mary.
00:26:24You wouldn't be electing me now, would you?
00:26:26She's your aunt.
00:26:28Yes, but I'm not riding the Tilt-A-Wheel.
00:26:30I'm not riding the Tilt-A-Wheel.
00:26:32I'm not riding the Tilt-A-Wheel.
00:26:34I'm riding the Tilt-A-Wheel.
00:26:36Yes, but I'm not riding the Tilt-A-Wheel into the marriage contract.
00:26:39Incidentally, did Karen tell you she finally set a date?
00:26:42She told me.
00:26:44Incidentally.
00:26:46What's the matter, Martha?
00:26:47Nothing.
00:26:50I think there is.
00:26:52I don't know what's bothering you, Martha.
00:26:54I always thought you approved of me.
00:26:56You must know how fond I am of you.
00:26:58If it's the school you're worried about, don't.
00:27:00Karen knows I have...
00:27:01Damn you, leave me alone!
00:27:03Stop consoling me or patronizing me
00:27:07or feeling sorry for me
00:27:09or whatever it is you're doing.
00:27:11Leave me alone!
00:27:18Well, the angel child is just coming back to life.
00:27:21Her roommates were busily eavesdropping at the door
00:27:24when Aunt Lily and I were yelling at each other.
00:27:27Karen, I think we should separate those girls from each other.
00:27:32Yes, she's a bad influence.
00:27:35I have a class waiting. They're outside.
00:27:37I'll take care of it.
00:27:38All right, girls, you may go in now.
00:27:44Well, how does it feel to be back from the grave?
00:27:46Did you meet any interesting people?
00:27:48It's my heart, and it hurts.
00:27:50You like that story, don't you?
00:27:54I want to see my grandmother.
00:27:56We're awfully sorry, Miss Wright.
00:27:58I'm sorry, too.
00:27:59You never used to do things like that.
00:28:01I'm afraid we're going to have to separate you girls.
00:28:03Peggy, move into Helen Burton's room
00:28:05and Mary, change rooms with Rosalie Wells.
00:28:08Oh, Miss Wright.
00:28:09And it's just because I had a pain.
00:28:11You're always being mean to me.
00:28:13I'm always getting punished, picked on,
00:28:15for everything that happens around here.
00:28:17Watch out, girls.
00:28:19Go, Rosalie.
00:28:28No!
00:28:29No!
00:28:45Are you leaving?
00:28:47Not until I get paid.
00:28:59Goodbye, teacher.
00:29:01Goodbye, Doctor.
00:29:29Come on.
00:29:59Now go on.
00:30:01Why did Dobie want to get rid of Mortar?
00:30:03Well, Dr. Carden and Miss Wright are going to get married.
00:30:06Everybody knows that, stupid.
00:30:09But everybody doesn't know that Miss Dobie
00:30:11doesn't want them to get married.
00:30:13How do you like that?
00:30:15Why doesn't she?
00:30:16I don't know.
00:30:18But Mortar said that Dobie was jealous
00:30:20and that she was like that when she was a little girl.
00:30:23And she never wanted anybody to like Miss Wright.
00:30:27And that was unnatural.
00:30:28Boy, did Dobie get sore at that.
00:30:32What did she mean by unnatural?
00:30:34Unnatural.
00:30:36Un for not.
00:30:37Not natural.
00:30:39Then genius here dropped a book.
00:30:47What are you doing?
00:30:49My bracelet.
00:30:51Oh, I still can't find it.
00:30:54I don't like that married children coming in here.
00:30:56Come here, Sylvester.
00:30:58Peggy says she blows her nose all night.
00:31:18I need two dollars.
00:31:19I don't have it.
00:31:20You have two dollars and 75 cents.
00:31:22Get it for me.
00:31:24No, I won't get it for you.
00:31:26Get it for me.
00:31:28Get it for me.
00:31:29I won't.
00:31:30Get it for me.
00:31:31Let go.
00:31:32Get it for me.
00:31:37Girls.
00:31:38Girls, what are you making all this fuss about?
00:31:40I shall get one of my headaches.
00:31:42I'm very upset today with all my packing and moving
00:31:45and I cannot stand this noise.
00:31:48Oh, isn't that Helen Burton's bracelet?
00:31:50The one that was lost.
00:31:54I...
00:31:56No, ma'am.
00:31:58It's Rosalie's bracelet.
00:31:59You dropped it.
00:32:01Oh, well.
00:32:02In my day, children were seen and not heard.
00:32:05Try and be ladies.
00:32:22Now will you get me the money?
00:32:26Thank you.
00:32:39Keep the change.
00:32:56I'm sorry, Grandma.
00:33:05I didn't mean to hurt your feelings.
00:33:14Forgive me?
00:33:16What made you act that way?
00:33:17Run away like that?
00:33:19I told you.
00:33:21I'm scared of them.
00:33:22No.
00:33:23They've got something against me.
00:33:24I don't believe that.
00:33:26They're always punishing me for anything they can think of.
00:33:29You imagine that.
00:33:31Miss Wright and Miss Dobie are nice young women and good teachers.
00:33:36You don't know anything about them.
00:33:38I do.
00:33:41I know lots of things.
00:33:45Like what happened yesterday.
00:33:48What happened yesterday?
00:33:49I can't tell you.
00:33:50Why?
00:33:52Because you're going to take their part.
00:33:54Very well, then.
00:33:57It was all about Miss Dobie and Mrs. Mortar.
00:34:00They were having a terrible argument.
00:34:02And Peggy and Evelyn heard them.
00:34:04And Miss Dobie found out.
00:34:06That's why they're making us change our rooms.
00:34:08What's wrong with that?
00:34:10They don't like to have us near them.
00:34:12They've got secrets or something.
00:34:14I don't know.
00:34:15They don't like to have us near them.
00:34:18They've got secrets or something.
00:34:19There's nothing wrong with people having secrets.
00:34:22But these were funny secrets.
00:34:27Peggy and Evelyn heard Mrs. Mortar say that she knew what was going on.
00:34:32And they were talking about all sorts of things.
00:34:34About Miss Wright and Cousin Joe getting married.
00:34:38And how Miss Dobie was jealous.
00:34:41Boy, did Dobie get sore at that.
00:34:43I don't wish to hear any more of this ugly gossip.
00:34:46Besides, I don't believe this talk of jealousy between Miss Dobie and Miss Wright.
00:34:54But I didn't say she was jealous of Miss Wright.
00:35:00I said that Mrs. Mortar said that Miss Dobie was jealous of Cousin Joe.
00:35:08I don't understand.
00:35:10Neither do I.
00:35:11Neither do I.
00:35:13But Mrs. Mortar said that it was unnatural for a woman to feel that way.
00:35:19Well, I'm just telling you what she said.
00:35:22Mrs. Mortar said that Miss Dobie was like that even when she was a little girl.
00:35:26And that it was unnatural.
00:35:27Stop using that silly word.
00:35:30That's the word she used.
00:35:32Then they got mad at each other.
00:35:34And Miss Dobie told Mrs. Mortar she'd have to get out of the house.
00:35:37That probably wasn't the reason at all.
00:35:39I bet it was.
00:35:40Because, honestly, Miss Dobie does get mean and cranky every time Cousin Joe comes.
00:35:45And yesterday I heard her say to him,
00:35:47Damn you.
00:35:48You've picked up some very fine words, haven't you, Mary?
00:35:51But that's just the word she used.
00:35:53And one time,
00:35:55Miss Dobie was in her room late.
00:35:57It's right near ours.
00:35:59And Miss Wright goes in there almost every night.
00:36:01And stays late.
00:36:03That's why they want to get rid of us.
00:36:05Of me, I mean.
00:36:06Because we hear things.
00:36:08That's why they're making us move our rooms.
00:36:10Why?
00:36:15I've heard other things, too.
00:36:17Plenty of other things.
00:36:19Strange, funny noises.
00:36:22And we've seen things, too.
00:36:24What things?
00:36:26Bad things. I can't tell you.
00:36:28Mary, you're annoying me very much.
00:36:29If you have anything to say, say it.
00:36:31I mean, I can't say it out loud.
00:36:33I've got to whisper it.
00:36:34Why must you whisper it?
00:36:36I don't know. I've just got to.
00:36:40Mary!
00:36:45Mary, do you know what you're saying?
00:36:51Stop the car, John!
00:36:53Stop the car, John!
00:37:10Just a moment.
00:37:20It's true.
00:37:32You wait right here.
00:37:40I'll be back.
00:38:10Oh, my goodness.
00:38:17Oh, good morning, Mrs. Tilford.
00:38:20I've come here to see Miss Wright or Miss Bilby.
00:38:22They're in class.
00:38:24I've never carried a suitcase before in my life.
00:38:28Oh, dear.
00:38:31I'll wait.
00:38:34I'd better cram these things into this bag.
00:38:36My theater maid usually does the packing for me.
00:38:39Oh, what must I look like?
00:38:42I gave up a very important role in Morning Sunshine just to teach here.
00:38:46And now my niece has dismissed me.
00:38:49Dismissed!
00:38:51After a year of fact-breaking work.
00:38:54Oh, well.
00:38:56I sacrificed my youth for her,
00:38:58but I'm sure you know all about that.
00:39:01And in gratitude,
00:39:03and the sting of the wasp.
00:39:07Do you suppose I could get one of those coats in that other bag?
00:39:11Mrs. Monter,
00:39:13I've been told you used a strange word in connection with your niece.
00:39:18I've heard that you feel there's something unnatural.
00:39:21Something unnatural?
00:39:22Why, the whole thing's unnatural.
00:39:24You would think that a healthy woman her age would have a husband,
00:39:27or at least an admirer, but she hasn't,
00:39:29and she never has.
00:39:30Young men who like her, yes,
00:39:32but not for long,
00:39:33because she has no interest in them.
00:39:35Only the school,
00:39:37and Karen Wright.
00:39:43Mrs. Tilford,
00:39:44at 28,
00:39:45do you spend your life with other people's children?
00:39:47No new clothes,
00:39:48working every night,
00:39:49nothing to look forward to
00:39:50but a summer vacation with Karen Wright.
00:39:52And now that Karen's getting married,
00:39:54Martha's in a frenzy of bad temper.
00:39:56And now that Karen's getting married,
00:39:58Martha's in a frenzy of bad temper,
00:40:00and she's taking it out on me.
00:40:02Friendship between women, yes.
00:40:04Nobody's had more friends than I.
00:40:07But not this insane devotion.
00:40:12I'm forgetting something.
00:40:14My umbrella.
00:40:15I left it in the closet.
00:40:20Oh, well, perhaps it's all for the best.
00:40:22It's bound to happen sooner or later.
00:40:24I couldn't have stood it much longer.
00:40:26Oh, here it is.
00:40:27Anyway,
00:40:28one shouldn't be away too long
00:40:30from his true profession.
00:40:33My makeup case,
00:40:34I left it upstairs.
00:40:35I'll be right back.
00:40:42Drive back to the house, John.
00:40:43Yes, ma'am.
00:40:54I don't have to go back today?
00:40:57No.
00:40:59This week?
00:41:01No, Mary.
00:41:02You don't have to go back.
00:41:04Ever?
00:41:06Ever.
00:41:11You're the nicest,
00:41:12sweetest
00:41:13grandmother in the whole wide world.
00:41:18I'm going to miss you.
00:41:20I'm going to miss you.
00:41:22I'm going to miss you.
00:41:24I'm going to miss you.
00:41:44John,
00:41:45please stop at Mrs. Anderson's house.
00:41:54I'm going to miss you.
00:42:20Hello, sir.
00:42:21Hello, sir.
00:42:23Hello, sir.
00:42:25I'd like a pen, please.
00:42:28I'd like a pen, please.
00:42:32My brother is in France.
00:42:35My brother is in France.
00:42:38And I want to send him a gift.
00:42:41And I want to send him a gift.
00:42:51Catherine,
00:42:52will you please continue?
00:42:54Rosalie,
00:42:55will you come outside with me a moment?
00:43:00Go ahead, Catherine.
00:43:14Rosalie,
00:43:16your mother has sent us a message
00:43:17that you're to pack a bag
00:43:18and spend the night at the Tilford's tonight.
00:43:21John will drive you.
00:43:23Why?
00:43:26I'm sure it's nothing to be upset about, dear.
00:43:29Your mother's been away
00:43:30and very likely just wants to see you
00:43:31as soon as she gets back.
00:43:34John's outside.
00:43:35Now don't keep him waiting.
00:43:38Yes, Miss Dobie.
00:43:43I'm going to ask it too.
00:43:44Why?
00:43:45First Mary doesn't come back
00:43:47and now Rosalie?
00:43:49I don't know.
00:43:50I just...
00:43:55Another car's coming.
00:44:06Rosalie Wells is here
00:44:07to spend the night with you.
00:44:08What?
00:44:09Until her mother comes for her.
00:44:10You mean she's going to sleep here?
00:44:12If you don't keep her awake all night.
00:44:14Why?
00:44:15How do I know the crazy things
00:44:16that are going on in this house?
00:44:18All right, come on in, Rosalie.
00:44:20All right.
00:44:22Have you had your bath, dear?
00:44:24Yes, ma'am, this morning.
00:44:25Well, better have another.
00:44:27Now I'll be in later
00:44:28to make up your bed
00:44:29and if you need anything
00:44:30you just let me know.
00:44:34Mom!
00:44:36Mom!
00:44:38Ha ha, Sissy.
00:44:50But...
00:44:53But, Mrs. Walden,
00:44:54there must be a reason to...
00:44:56Don't...
00:44:57Mrs. Vincent,
00:44:58won't you please tell us what...
00:44:59Come along now.
00:45:08She hung up.
00:45:13Did you get Joe?
00:45:15No, I tried twice.
00:45:16He's out in the cold.
00:45:20Miss Janet?
00:45:21Are we coming back, Miss Dobie?
00:45:23I don't know, dear.
00:45:24I mean, all the girls are leaving.
00:45:25It's all so funny.
00:45:26Come along, Janet.
00:45:27Your mother wants you to hurry.
00:45:28Didn't Mrs. Webb
00:45:29leave us a message?
00:45:30Oh, yes, ma'am.
00:45:31She said have Janice's trunk packed
00:45:32and I'll pick it up in the morning.
00:45:34That's all she told you?
00:45:35Yes, ma'am, that's all.
00:45:39Mr. Burton,
00:45:40don't you...
00:45:46What is happening?
00:45:47What is happening here?
00:45:48Has everyone gone insane?
00:45:58I'm awfully sorry to leave, Miss Wright.
00:46:00Come on, Helen.
00:46:01We're sorry too, Helen.
00:46:03Thank you.
00:46:04Goodbye.
00:46:06Go on out to the car, Helen.
00:46:11How much do I owe you
00:46:12for the rest of the school term?
00:46:13We don't want your money, Mr. Burton.
00:46:15We want to know
00:46:16why all this is happening.
00:46:18If you don't know,
00:46:19I don't know.
00:46:20You mean you're taking
00:46:21your child out of school
00:46:22and you don't know why?
00:46:23I think it would be better
00:46:24if you talked to Helen's mother.
00:46:25Why?
00:46:27It's not the kind of thing
00:46:28I want to talk about.
00:46:33Mr. Burton.
00:46:36Mr. Burton, you've got to go.
00:46:45Mr. Burton.
00:46:46Mr. Burton.

00:47:40Mr. Burton.
00:47:41Mr. Burton.
00:47:42Mr. Burton.
00:47:43Ah.
00:47:44You're always pretending you know everything.
00:47:47You and your silly secrets.
00:47:49Suppose I told someone it all happened because you told me something.
00:47:53Me?
00:47:55I don't know anything to tell you.
00:47:58That's not what I told my grandmother.
00:48:02Why, Mary Telford, I didn't tell you anything.
00:48:06I'm going right down to your grandmother and tell her I didn't tell you anything.
00:48:10Whatever it is.
00:48:11You're just trying to get me into trouble.
00:48:20Well, why don't you go?
00:48:22Wait a minute.
00:48:23I'll come with you.
00:48:25What for?
00:48:26I want to tell her all about this.
00:48:29What about it?
00:48:30Just that you stole it from Helen Burton.
00:48:33I never did any such thing.
00:48:35I borrowed it.
00:48:36And I was going to put it back as soon as I'd worn it to the movies.
00:48:40I never meant to keep it.
00:48:42I was putting it back yesterday when you made me drop it.
00:48:45And who do you think will believe that?
00:48:48And if I told my grandmother, she'd tell your parents and everybody at the school,
00:48:53and the police, of course, that you're a thief.
00:48:56And you'd be put in a school for delinquent girls.
00:48:59Mary, don't tell anybody.
00:49:01Please don't tell.
00:49:04See?
00:49:06Whatever you ask, I do.
00:49:08Wild horses couldn't drag the secret out of me now.
00:49:12Thank you, Mary.
00:49:13As long as you do what I say.
00:49:15Want to join my sorority?
00:49:18Yes, I think so.
00:49:21Put your hand on your heart and take the oath of allegiance.
00:49:25I, Rosalie Wells, am now a member of the Inner Circle.
00:49:29I, Rosalie Wells, am now a member of the Inner Circle.
00:49:34I will never betray a sister member.
00:49:37I will never betray a sister member.
00:49:41Hello, Amelia.
00:49:42Good evening, Joseph.
00:49:44How are you?
00:49:46Tired.
00:49:47We're getting the results of the mating season about now.
00:49:50Did I take you away from a patient?
00:49:52No, I was just finishing at the hospital.
00:49:55I told you that on the phone.
00:49:58Yes, of course.
00:50:01How is the hospital?
00:50:03How is it getting on?
00:50:05Just the same.
00:50:06Not enough money, badly equipped.
00:50:08Amelia, you didn't call me here to talk about the hospital.
00:50:11What's the matter? Aren't you feeling well?
00:50:14I only knew how to start.
00:50:17Well, start at the easiest place.
00:50:20It's a very hard thing to say.
00:50:23Hard for you to say to me?
00:50:27Did you know they dismissed Mrs. Malter from the Wright-Dobie school?
00:50:31They did?
00:50:32Good, it's about time.
00:50:35Don't you think it odd they wanted so much to get rid of that silly, harmless woman?
00:50:40Lily Mortar is not a harmless woman, Amelia, though God knows she's silly enough.
00:50:44She's a selfish old bore.
00:50:47And if you're feeling sorry for her, you're wasting your time.
00:50:49You didn't call me here to talk about that, did you?
00:50:51No.
00:50:53No, something else.
00:51:00You've been engaged to Karen Wright for a long time, haven't you?
00:51:03Two years.
00:51:05She doesn't seem to be able to make up her mind.
00:51:08Well, it isn't that so much as it was the school who's a tough job getting it on its feet.
00:51:13And there's Miss Dobie.
00:51:15Yes. Anyway, it's all settled.
00:51:17You can buy the wedding present, it's official.
00:51:23Well, no congratulations?
00:51:29Joseph,
00:51:31you must not marry Karen.
00:51:33Why must I...
00:51:35What are you talking about?
00:51:37Why must I not marry Karen?
00:51:41Because there's something very wrong with Karen.
00:51:45And there's something very wrong with you for thinking you can talk to me this way.
00:51:50I know what I'm talking about.
00:51:54Who's that?
00:51:58Mrs. Tilford, is she in?
00:52:00I won't have them here.
00:52:01What are you talking about?
00:52:02I won't have them here.
00:52:04Then you don't want me here either.
00:52:11Darling, what is this?
00:52:13What did she do it for?
00:52:14What are you doing to us?
00:52:15I don't think you should have come here.
00:52:17What is all this?
00:52:18Hasn't she told you?
00:52:19Nobody has told me anything.
00:52:21What's the matter, Karen?
00:52:23Martha, did anything happen at the school?
00:52:25There is no school anymore.
00:52:27The children have been taken away by their parents.
00:52:29Why?
00:52:30We couldn't find out. Nobody would tell us.
00:52:32And finally Mr. Burton told us.
00:52:34Told you what?
00:52:35That...
00:52:38That Martha and I...
00:52:46That Martha and I have been lovers.
00:52:51Mrs. Tilford told them.
00:53:00Did you tell them that?
00:53:02Yes.
00:53:03Are you sick?
00:53:04You know I'm not sick.
00:53:06Then what did you do it for?
00:53:09Because it's true.
00:53:18You think it's true then?
00:53:20You crazy, crazy old woman!
00:53:23You mean you did say it?
00:53:25You knew what you were saying?
00:53:27I don't think you should have come here.
00:53:29I shall not call you names and I won't allow you to call me names.
00:53:33And I don't want to talk about it with you now or ever.
00:53:36What is she talking about? What does she mean?
00:53:39Where did you get this idea?
00:53:42This can't do any of us any good.
00:53:46Can't do any of us any good?
00:53:49Listen.
00:53:51This is our lives you're playing with.
00:53:53Our lives.
00:53:55That's very serious business for you.
00:53:57That's very serious business for us. Can you understand that?
00:54:00Yes, I can understand that and I can understand a great deal more.
00:54:04You've been playing with a lot of children's lives.
00:54:07That's why I had to stop you.
00:54:10I know how serious this is for you.
00:54:13How serious it is for all of us.
00:54:15I don't think you do know.
00:54:17You came here to find out if I'd made the charge.
00:54:19You found out. I made it. Let's end it there.
00:54:22I don't want you in this house.
00:54:25I'm deeply sorry this had to be done to you, Joseph.
00:54:28Amelia, you've done a terrible, terrible thing.
00:54:30I've done what I had to do.
00:54:32You know I wouldn't have acted until I was sure.
00:54:35What they are is possibly their own business.
00:54:38But it becomes a great deal more than that when children are concerned.
00:54:42But it's not true.
00:54:44It's just not true. Not one single word of it.
00:54:48We're standing here defending ourselves against what?
00:54:51Against nothing. Against a lie.
00:54:54A great, awful lie.
00:54:56I'm sorry. I can't believe it.
00:55:06Don't get the idea we'll let you whisper this lie.
00:55:10You made it and you'll come out with it.
00:55:13We'll make you shriek it.
00:55:17And you'll do it in a courtroom.
00:55:19Tomorrow, Mrs. Tilford, you'll have a libel suit on your hands.
00:55:24Don't do that, Miss Dovey.
00:55:27It frightens you, doesn't it?
00:55:29Yes. I'm frightened for you.
00:55:31Because I know it will bring you nothing but pain.
00:55:34It was wrong of you to brazen it out here tonight.
00:55:37It would be criminally foolish for you to brazen it out in public.
00:55:41Oh, it's already quite public, Mrs. Tilford.
00:55:44Five hours ago we had our lives on the line.
00:55:47Five hours ago we had our lives decently to ourselves.
00:55:50Now we have nothing left but the dirt you made of us.
00:55:54The dirt you made for yourselves.
00:55:58This thing is your own.
00:56:01Go away with it. I don't understand it.
00:56:04I don't want any part of it. Take it out of here.
00:56:09Clean your house, Joseph, and in time count yourself lucky.
00:56:14You have understood nothing.
00:56:17These are my friends.
00:56:20When we clean house, the three of us will clean it together.
00:56:29Maybe we should clean your house for you, Mrs. Tilford.
00:56:32Where's Mary?
00:56:35Under no circumstances I wouldn't allow that.
00:56:38That's where you really got it.
00:56:40How could you believe a child saying something as awful as that?
00:56:44And how could a child that age even know about such things?
00:56:47She could hardly invent them.
00:56:49She's a bad girl, your Mary. She always has been.
00:56:51I'll have no more of this.
00:56:53All I wanted to do was get those children away. That's been done.
00:56:58You've been in my house long enough.
00:57:01Get out!
00:57:04Get out!
00:57:16The wicked very young, the wicked very old.
00:57:22Let's go home.
00:57:24When three people come to you with their lives spread out on a table
00:57:27for you to cut to pieces,
00:57:29the only honest thing you can do is give them one last chance
00:57:32to come out alive.
00:57:35We want that last chance.
00:57:37If you're honest, you'll give it to us.
00:57:40You'll give them one last chance to come out alive.
00:57:44We want that last chance.
00:57:46If you're honest, you'll give it to us.
00:58:10Sit down, dear.
00:58:37I'd like to tell you something, Mary.
00:58:39Everybody lies all the time. Sometimes they have to, sometimes they don't.
00:58:43I've told lies for a lot of different reasons myself, but there was rarely a time when,
00:58:48if I'd had a second chance, I wouldn't have taken back the lie and told the truth.
00:58:54I'm telling you this because I'm about to ask you a question.
00:58:56Before you answer the question, I want to tell you that if you've made a mistake,
00:59:04you must take this chance and say so.
00:59:06You won't be punished. Do you understand all that?
00:59:10Yes, Cousin Joe.
00:59:14Were you telling your grandmother the truth, the exact truth, about Miss Wright and Miss Dobie?
00:59:21Oh, yes, Cousin Joe.
00:59:29We're not through, Amelia. Why don't you like Miss Wright and Miss Dobie, Mary?
00:59:33I do like them. They just don't like me. They're always punishing me for everything.
00:59:38Why do you think they do that?
00:59:40Because... because they...
00:59:42Tell your grandmother why you were punished.
00:59:44Just because Peggy and Evelyn heard things and they took it out on me.
00:59:47That's not true.
00:59:48Heard what, Mary?
00:59:50Mrs. Mortar told Miss Dobie there was something funny about her.
00:59:55She said she had a funny feeling about Miss Wright.
00:59:58Mrs. Mortar said that was unnatural.
01:00:00Mrs. Mortar said that was unnatural.
01:00:02That's why we got punished. Just because...
01:00:04That is not the reason they were punished.
01:00:06My aunt is a stupid woman. What she said was unpleasant.
01:00:09But it was only said to annoy me.
01:00:11It meant nothing more than that.
01:00:13What do you think Mrs. Mortar meant by all that talk, Mary?
01:00:15Stop it, Joseph.
01:00:16I don't know.
01:00:17But all the girls would talk about it when Miss Wright went and visited Miss Dobie's room late at night.
01:00:22And funny things did happen.
01:00:24We'd stay awake and listen and we'd hear strange, funny noises.
01:00:28And I'd get frightened.
01:00:29Be still.
01:00:30No, no. You don't want her still now.
01:00:31What else did you hear? What did you see?
01:00:34I don't know.
01:00:36They were just things.
01:00:38What things?
01:00:40I don't know.
01:00:41She doesn't know.
01:00:43I saw plenty of things.
01:00:45What?
01:00:46One night they were in Miss Dobie's room late and I looked through the keyhole
01:00:50and they were kissing and...
01:00:53Like what I told you.
01:00:55That child is...
01:00:56Ask her how she could see us again.
01:00:59I... I was leaning down by the keyhole.
01:01:01There's no keyhole on my door.
01:01:04What?
01:01:06There is no keyhole on my door!
01:01:09It wasn't her room, Grandma. It was the other room.
01:01:11It was Miss Wright's room.
01:01:12How did you know anybody was in Miss Wright's room?
01:01:14I told you.
01:01:15We heard them.
01:01:16Everybody heard them.
01:01:18My room is on the first floor at the other end of the house.
01:01:21It's impossible to hear anything from there.
01:01:23Mary, what is this?
01:01:24Why did you say you saw through the keyhole?
01:01:26I'm so mixed up! Everybody's yelling at me at one time!
01:01:29I did see them! I did see them!
01:01:32Mary!
01:01:33Mary, I want the truth!
01:01:35Whatever it is, Mary!
01:01:39We're finished here.
01:01:40We've cleaned your house.
01:01:42Let's go home.
01:01:43Wait!
01:01:44Please wait!
01:01:45Stop crying, Mary!
01:01:46I want the truth!
01:01:49All right.
01:01:51It was Rosalie who saw them.
01:01:54She told us all about it.
01:01:57I only said it was me so I wouldn't have to tattle on Rosalie.
01:02:01You ask Rosalie.
01:02:04She said it was when the door was open.
01:02:07And she told us all about it.
01:02:11She said it was when the door was open.
01:02:14And she told us all about it.
01:02:22Agatha.
01:02:33Get Rosalie.
01:02:35Yes, ma'am.
01:02:38You deserve whatever you get, Mrs. Toth.
01:02:42I don't know anymore.
01:02:45Maybe it's what I do deserve.
01:03:07Rosalie.
01:03:30Rosalie.
01:03:32Mary says there's been a lot of talk at school lately
01:03:35about Miss Wright and Miss Dobie.
01:03:38Is that true?
01:03:40I...
01:03:44I don't know what you mean.
01:03:47The things have been said among you girls.
01:03:51What things?
01:03:54What was the talk about, Rosalie?
01:03:58Don't be frightened.
01:04:00I don't know what she means, Miss Wright.
01:04:03Well, Mary has told her grandmother
01:04:05that certain things at school have been puzzling you girls.
01:04:09You in particular.
01:04:13Arithmetic puzzles me.
01:04:15I guess I'm just not very good at arithmetic.
01:04:17No, that's not what she meant.
01:04:20Mary said that you told her
01:04:24that you saw certain...
01:04:26certain things happen between Miss Dobie and myself late at night.
01:04:30But once when the door was open,
01:04:32you saw us together in my room.
01:04:35Oh, Miss Wright, I didn't.
01:04:37I didn't.
01:04:38I never said any such thing.
01:04:40Mary!
01:04:42Oh, yes, you did, too.
01:04:44You told us about what you saw.
01:04:47I remember.
01:04:49It was the day that Helen Burton's bracelet...
01:04:51I never did.
01:04:52The day Helen Burton's bracelet was stolen.
01:04:55And no one knew who did it.
01:04:57Don't you remember?
01:04:59Helen said that if her mother found out who did it,
01:05:02she would call the police and have the thief put in jail.
01:05:07Rosalie, there's no need to cry.
01:05:10You must help us by telling the truth.
01:05:19Grandma.
01:05:21Yes! Yes! Yes!
01:05:24I told Mary what Mary said was true!
01:05:27I said it! I said it! I said it!
01:05:57THE END

01:06:58It's cold in here.
01:07:01Yes.
01:07:08What time is it?
01:07:10I don't know.
01:07:15I was hoping it was time for my bath.
01:07:24Take it early today.
01:07:28Oh, I couldn't do that.
01:07:31I look forward all day to that bath.
01:07:35It makes me feel important to know there's one thing I have to do.
01:07:40Kind of a date with something.
01:07:58© BF-WATCH TV 2021
01:08:09Let's go out.
01:08:14Take a walk.
01:08:17What if we see somebody?
01:08:21What if we do?
01:08:24Come on.
01:08:27© BF-WATCH TV 2021
01:08:57© BF-WATCH TV 2021
01:09:27We'll go tomorrow.
01:09:29No, we won't.
01:09:31© BF-WATCH TV 2021
01:09:56There's our friend.
01:10:02I knocked on the kitchen door, but nobody answered.
01:10:05You said that last week.
01:10:07All right, thank you, goodbye.
01:10:17Stop it!
01:10:21I've got eight fingers, see?
01:10:23And two heads, I'm a freak!
01:10:31© BF-WATCH TV 2021
01:10:47Martha, what are we doing here like this?
01:10:50It's as if we're in a nightmare.
01:10:52I can't seem to wake up.
01:10:54© BF-WATCH TV 2021
01:10:59You'll be getting married soon.
01:11:01Everything will be all right then.
01:11:04It'll be a good day.
01:11:07And a happy one for me too.
01:11:14What's wrong, Karen?
01:11:17There's nothing wrong.
01:11:20It's just that I don't know what I'm thinking anymore.
01:11:24© BF-WATCH TV 2021
01:11:55© BF-WATCH TV 2021
01:12:03That's the end of my official duty, Dr. Carden.
01:12:06I don't have to tell you how much we appreciate you being here.
01:12:10You know that this hospital is run by generous people.
01:12:14Thank you for the speech.
01:12:16Joke!
01:12:17Everyone here knows that you're not guilty of anything.
01:12:20It's a matter of association.
01:12:22I'm sure that if you were to...
01:12:24sever your relationship with these two young women...
01:12:30I'm sorry.
01:12:33Goodbye.
01:12:52© BF-WATCH TV 2021
01:12:55I don't believe it.
01:13:07And here I am.
01:13:11Well, hello, hello, hello.
01:13:17May I come in?
01:13:19Oh, my old chair.
01:13:25It's very good to see you both.
01:13:28How is everything?
01:13:32Everything's fine.
01:13:34How are you?
01:13:36A little tired.
01:13:38It's been a long trip.
01:13:40Of course.
01:13:42Is there anything I can get you?
01:13:44You know I would like a cup of tea.
01:13:46But don't you bother.
01:13:47Oh, it's no bother.
01:13:48No bother at all.
01:13:50Why, Martha...
01:13:53You know, I think...
01:13:55Where have you been?
01:13:57Now, Martha, there's your temper again.
01:14:00Answer me!
01:14:01Well, I've been on tour, you knew that.
01:14:03Mostly one-night stands.
01:14:05Although we did have one ghastly week in Detroit.
01:14:08But you know the theater has changed, there's no question of it.
01:14:11They simply will not accept a serious play on the road.
01:14:14Isn't that interesting.
01:14:16Is it a trend? Will it pass?
01:14:18Well, I don't know. I really just don't know.
01:14:21I was interviewed in San Francisco.
01:14:24And I said quite frankly...
01:14:27Oh, I said that perhaps a whole culture is changing.
01:14:30It's possible, you know.
01:14:32You think so?
01:14:33A whole culture?
01:14:34My, we'd be so interested to hear about it.
01:14:39Why didn't you answer our telegrams?
01:14:41I told you I was moving around.
01:14:43How did you manage to get out of the summons?
01:14:45What difference does it all make now anyway?
01:14:47Oh, Karen is quite right.
01:14:49Let's let bygones be bygones.
01:14:51Why did you refuse to come back here and testify for us?
01:14:55I didn't refuse, I was on tour.
01:14:57That's a moral obligation.
01:14:58I couldn't just leave.
01:14:59The curtain must go up.
01:15:01Oh, for goodness sakes.
01:15:03Let's not go on like this.
01:15:05My trunk's at the station.
01:15:07Things have changed here, Mrs. Mortar.
01:15:10I don't suppose you've heard about it.
01:15:12Although it's been in every newspaper in the country
01:15:15how we lost a suit for slander against a woman named Tilford
01:15:20who accused us of having had what the judge called
01:15:24sinful sexual knowledge of one another
01:15:27based on remarks made by one Lily Mortar against her niece.
01:15:32But my dear, I...
01:15:33A large part of the defense's case rested on the telling fact
01:15:36that Mrs. Mortar would not appear in court
01:15:39to confirm, explain, or deny those remarks.
01:15:43She had a moral obligation to the theater.
01:15:46Well, it wouldn't have done any good for us all
01:15:49to get mixed up in this unpleasant notoriety.
01:15:52But I do see it your way.
01:15:55And now that I'm here, I'm going to stand shoulder to shoulder with you.
01:15:59There's an 8 o'clock train. Get on it.
01:16:04Mother.
01:16:05All my grown life, I've been something for you to pick dry.
01:16:08Now get out and don't come back.
01:16:11How can you talk to me like that?
01:16:14Because I hate you. I've always hated you.
01:16:22God will punish you for that.
01:16:25He's doing all right.
01:16:29I'll wait upstairs until train time.
01:16:34You'll be sorry, Martha, one day for what you said to me.
01:16:40Look who's here. A few weeks late, aren't you?
01:16:43So it's you. Now, I call that loyal.
01:16:46A lot of men wouldn't still be here.
01:16:49You're a very lucky girl, Karen.
01:16:52Get out of here!
01:17:04Why did she come back?
01:17:07She's broke.
01:17:11Stop it, Martha.
01:17:13She's not worth all that.
01:17:15We'll give her some money and get rid of her.
01:17:24Why'd you do that?
01:17:26Do what?
01:17:28Turn away from me.
01:17:30I didn't turn away from you. I was putting out a cigarette.
01:17:35Now, Karen...
01:17:40If we sit around here much longer, we'll all go mad.
01:17:43So we're not going to sit around.
01:17:46I sold my place this morning to Foster.
01:17:48You can't do that. You can't...
01:17:50We're getting married this week.
01:17:52I'll give both of you two days to pack and close the place.
01:17:54Thursday, we'll be in the car.
01:17:56You can't leave here. I won't let you.
01:17:58It's all done. I found a good place that needs a doctor.
01:18:01It's farm country. It'll be tough at first, but we'll live cheaply.
01:18:05There'll be plenty for all three of us.
01:18:07Oh, Joe. Joe, I'm not going with you.
01:18:10But thank you from the bottom of my heart.
01:18:12You're coming with us. We want you to come.
01:18:15It's going to be good.
01:18:16Starting fresh in a new place.
01:18:18You don't want to go.
01:18:22No. I don't want to go.
01:18:25This is my place where I wanted to be.
01:18:28And you don't want to go. You wanted to stay here, too.
01:18:30Well, we can't stay so to hell with it.
01:18:32We're going to a place where we can live.
01:18:34Joe's right.
01:18:36But I'm not going with you.
01:18:38It's better for all of us if I don't go.
01:18:40Now stop talking nonsense. You're coming with us.
01:18:42Later on, you can leave if you want to, when you have something to leave for.
01:18:47All right?
01:18:50All right.
01:18:53I think I'll cook us a dinner.
01:18:55A departure dinner. Whatever that is.
01:18:58Something fancy.
01:19:02I've done this to you.
01:19:04I've taken away everything you wanted.
01:19:07Stop talking that way.
01:19:10Karen.
01:19:12There are a lot of people in this world who have bad trouble.
01:19:15We happen to be three of those people.
01:19:18We could sit around the rest of our lives and live on that trouble.
01:19:21And we'd get to where we'd have nothing else.
01:19:23Because we wanted nothing else.
01:19:26Now we're going to start putting the whole business behind us.
01:19:29There's going to be no more talk about what could have been or should have been.
01:19:33Oh, I'm sorry. I'll be all right as soon as we get out of here.
01:19:39Oh, Joe, I want a baby.
01:19:41I want to have a baby.
01:19:43Maybe in a year or so.
01:19:45Maybe in a year or so.
01:19:47We won't have enough money now.
01:19:50But I don't want to wait a year.
01:19:52You always said you wanted children right away. Why have you changed?
01:19:55We can't go on like this. Everything I say is made to mean something else.
01:20:02Yes, every word has a new meaning.
01:20:05Child, love, friend, woman.
01:20:10There aren't many safe words anymore.
01:20:13Even marriage doesn't have the same meaning anymore.
01:20:19It does to me and it should to you if...
01:20:25If what?
01:20:26If you won't try to take the past with us.
01:20:30Wherever we go, that'll be with us a long time, Joe.
01:20:33We can't move away from that.
01:20:35A new place, a new room won't fix that for us.
01:20:40It won't work, Joe.
01:20:42What won't work?
01:20:44The two of us together.
01:20:46Stop talking like that. You'll begin to believe it soon.
01:20:50Tell me, Joe. Tell me what you want to know.
01:20:53I don't know what you're talking about.
01:20:56Yes, you do. We've both known for a long time. Say it now, Joe. Ask it now.
01:21:00I have nothing to ask.
01:21:04All right. Is it? Was it ever?
01:21:12No.
01:21:15No, Martha and I never touched each other.
01:21:19It's all right, darling. I'm glad you asked.
01:21:22My God! What's happened to me?
01:21:26I'm sorry, darling. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to ask that. I never believed...
01:21:30No, no. Of course you didn't really, but after a while you weren't sure.
01:21:34Then you began to wonder.
01:21:37You've been a good, loyal friend. Don't be ashamed of what you felt.
01:21:43All right. Good or bad, I've asked, you've answered.
01:21:47That's all. Let's go ahead now.
01:21:55You believe me?
01:21:57Of course I believe you.
01:22:03Yes.
01:22:05Maybe you do.
01:22:08But I'd never know whether you did.
01:22:10Karen...
01:22:11And you saying it again won't do it.
01:22:15And it doesn't really matter anymore whether you do believe me.
01:22:17All I know is I'd be frightened that you didn't.
01:22:20And that's the way it would be.
01:22:22We'd be haunted by it.
01:22:24Things would never ever be right between us like that, Joe. You know that.
01:22:28Darling, I didn't know what I was asking.
01:22:30Don't be sorry. You can't help it.
01:22:33It'd be a miracle if the poison didn't reach you too.
01:22:38But go away for a while.
01:22:42Go away from me and love and pity and all the things that mess people up.
01:22:49Go away by yourself.
01:22:51Go away by yourself. And I will too.
01:22:57And after a while I'll know.
01:23:01And you'll know and then we'll see.
01:23:04Please, Joe.
01:23:05There's nothing for me to know. A few weeks won't make any difference.
01:23:09Please!
01:23:10I don't want to go!
01:23:14Go now, darling.
01:23:17Go now, darling.
01:23:24What will you do?
01:23:27I'll be all right.
01:23:30Go now, darling.
01:23:35If it's what you want.
01:23:38It is.
01:23:42I'll be coming back.
01:23:45I'll be coming back soon.
01:23:56I don't think so.
01:24:06Oh, God!
01:24:10Hold still.
01:24:15I'm as nervous as a cat. What's the matter with you?
01:24:18I couldn't sleep well last night.
01:24:20We're going to a new school, I understand.
01:24:22I like Elmhurst. Doris Tanner thinks it's wonderful.
01:24:25Doris Tanner just likes horses.
01:24:28That's all they do at Elmhurst. Ride.
01:24:31Well, there's a very high rating and you'll make lots of new friends.
01:24:34You won't be moping around like you did all summer.
01:24:44What's all this?
01:24:51My compact. I've been looking everywhere.
01:24:58Whose ring is this?
01:25:02These scarf and gloves.
01:25:15Happy birthday, Helen.
01:25:39Mary!
01:25:45She made me do it. She made me do it.
01:25:48Don't believe her, Grandma. She's just trying to blame it on me.
01:25:51She's just trying to get us to...
01:25:52Be still!
01:25:58Come here.
01:26:15Oh, no. No!
01:26:19I'm all right.
01:26:44I'm all right.
01:27:06Cooking always makes me feel better.
01:27:10Well, I suppose we'll have to feed the Duchess.
01:27:12Even vultures have to eat.
01:27:16I baked a cake.
01:27:18And you know what? I found a bottle of wine.
01:27:20We'll have a good dinner.
01:27:24Where's Joe?
01:27:26Gone.
01:27:28Patient? Will he be back in time for dinner?
01:27:32No.
01:27:36Then we'll wait dinner for him.
01:27:39What's the matter, Karen?
01:27:45He won't be back anymore.
01:27:53You mean he won't be back anymore tonight.
01:27:59He won't be back at all.
01:28:03What happened?
01:28:06What happened?
01:28:09Karen, what happened?
01:28:13He thought...
01:28:16It was true.
01:28:26I don't believe it.
01:28:29I don't believe it.
01:28:31What kind of talk is that?
01:28:33What kind of talk is that? I don't believe it.
01:28:36All right.
01:28:38Well, didn't you tell him? For God's sake, didn't you tell him it wasn't true?
01:28:42Yes.
01:28:44He didn't believe you?
01:28:49I guess he believed me.
01:28:52Then what have you done?
01:28:55I don't understand. What do you mean, you guess he believed you?
01:28:58I don't want to talk about it, Martha.
01:29:00It's over.
01:29:04Oh.
01:29:06Oh, Lord, I wanted that for you so much.
01:29:13Oh, what's happened to us?
01:29:19Whatever happened,
01:29:21go back to Joe, Karen.
01:29:23It's too much for you this way.
01:29:25Stop talking about it, Martha.
01:29:28Let's pack and get out of here. Let's take the train tomorrow.
01:29:32The train to where?
01:29:34I don't know. There must be some place we can go.
01:29:37We don't know where it is.
01:29:39They know about us.
01:29:41We've been famous.
01:29:46But this isn't a new sin, they say.
01:29:48We've done other people haven't been destroyed by it.
01:29:55They're the people who believe in it.
01:29:58Who want it.
01:30:00Who've chosen it for themselves.
01:30:04We aren't like that.
01:30:07That must be very different.
01:30:10We don't love each other.
01:30:15We've been close to each other.
01:30:17Of course, I've loved you like a friend.
01:30:20The way thousands of women feel about other women.
01:30:26You were a dear friend who was loved, that's all.
01:30:29Certainly, there can be nothing wrong with that.
01:30:32It's perfectly natural that I should be fond of you.
01:30:35Why, we've known each other since we were 17 and I always thought that...
01:30:39Why are you saying all of this?
01:30:45Because I do love you.
01:30:51Of course, I love you too.
01:30:56But...
01:30:58Maybe I love you the way they said I love you, I don't know.
01:31:08Listen to me!
01:31:12I have loved you the way they said!
01:31:20There's always been something wrong.
01:31:23Always, just as long as I can remember.
01:31:27But I never knew what it was until all this happened.
01:31:30Stop it, Martha!
01:31:33Stop this crazy talk!
01:31:36You're afraid of hearing it, but I'm more afraid than you.
01:31:40I won't listen to you.
01:31:41No, you've got to know.
01:31:43I've got to tell you, I can't keep it to myself any longer.
01:31:47I'm guilty!
01:31:49You're guilty of nothing!
01:31:53I've been telling myself that since the night I heard the child say it.
01:31:59I lie in bed night after night praying that it isn't true.
01:32:03But I know about it now.
01:32:05It's there.
01:32:07I don't know how, I don't know why.
01:32:11But I did love you!
01:32:13I do love you!
01:32:18I resented your plans to marry me.
01:32:21Maybe because I wanted you.
01:32:23Maybe I've wanted you all these years.
01:32:26I couldn't call it by name before, but...
01:32:29maybe it's been there since I first knew you.
01:32:32But it's not the truth, not a word of it is true.
01:32:34We've never thought of each other that way.
01:32:38No, of course you didn't.
01:32:41But who's to say I didn't?
01:32:45I never felt that way about anybody but you.
01:32:48I've never loved a man.
01:32:51I never knew why before.
01:32:54Maybe it's that.
01:32:56Martha, you're tired and worn out.
01:33:00It's funny.
01:33:02It's all mixed up.
01:33:04There's something in you and you don't know anything about it
01:33:08because you don't know it's there.
01:33:10And then suddenly...
01:33:12one night a little girl came up to me.
01:33:15And suddenly...
01:33:17one night a little girl gets bored and tells a lie.
01:33:21And there for the first time you see it.
01:33:24And you say to yourself, did she see it?
01:33:27Did she sense it?
01:33:28But you know it could have been any lie she was looking for anything to...
01:33:32But why this lie?
01:33:35She found the lie with the ounce of truth.
01:33:38Don't you see?
01:33:41I can't stand to have you touch me.
01:33:44I can't stand to have you look at me.
01:33:47Oh, it's all my fault.
01:33:50I've ruined your life and I've ruined my own.
01:33:54I swear I didn't know it.
01:33:57I didn't mean it.
01:34:00Oh, I feel so damn sick and dirty I can't stand it anymore.
01:34:14Oh, God.
01:34:45I have...
01:34:47something to say to you.
01:34:54Let me come in.
01:34:57Please.
01:35:00You must hear me.
01:35:06Mary...
01:35:09Mary...
01:35:13Mary and Rosalie Wells have admitted the whole thing was a lie.
01:35:24I have more to tell you.
01:35:28I tried to call Joe, but he wouldn't answer my call.
01:35:32But I've spoken to Judge Potter.
01:35:35He'll hold a hearing and reverse the court decision.
01:35:39There'll be a public apology and an explanation in the papers.
01:35:44The damage suit, of course, will be paid to you in full.
01:35:49I'm afraid I can't do it.
01:35:52In the papers.
01:35:55The damage suit, of course, will be paid to you in full.
01:35:59And any more that you'll be kind enough to take from me.
01:36:12So you've come here to relieve your conscience.
01:36:16Public apology and money paid and you can rest your head again.
01:36:23Well, don't rest it!
01:36:26You've come to the wrong place.
01:36:29There's nothing we want from you, Mrs. Chalfant.
01:36:34There's no relief that can be bought for me.
01:36:38I didn't come here for that. I swear to God, I didn't.
01:36:45There must be something I can do.
01:36:49Please.
01:36:53Please help me.
01:36:56Help you?
01:37:19Please.
01:37:30Please go, Mrs. Chalfant. We don't want you here.
01:37:49Please.
01:38:19Please.
01:38:43Martha, I'm going away someplace to begin again.
01:38:50Will you come with me?
01:39:00We can find work now.
01:39:05Thank you, Karen.
01:39:10Let's talk about it tomorrow.
01:39:13I want to go to sleep.
01:39:19Good night.
01:39:49Good night.
01:40:19Good night.
