:46:00
Yes, of course.
:46:03
I'd forgotten aII about that.
:46:07
WiII you Iet me take you?
:46:09
You mean to the dance?
:46:11
That is if you're not aIready dated up.
:46:14
No, I'm not.
:46:16
In fact, I'm not going.
:46:20
-Why not?
-I toId you. It's Father.
:46:23
You see, MiIdred's dance is aImost
the onIy evening I've gone out...
:46:27
...on account of his iIIness, you know.
:46:45
VirgiI Adams, how much Ionger
do you expect me to put up...
:46:49
...with that oId man and his doings?
:46:51
Whose doings? What oId man?
:46:53
What other oId man wouId I mean
but J.A. Lamb?
:46:55
Do you think I'm going to submit forever
to him and his famiIy...
:46:58
...and what they're doing to my chiId?
:47:00
Now what are he and his famiIy
doing to your chiId?
:47:04
Your dear, grand oId Mr. Lamb's Henrietta
has sent out invitations for a Iarge party.
:47:09
Now, everybody who is anybody in town
is going to be there, you can count on that.
:47:14
There's a very fine young man,
a Mr. RusseII.
:47:17
He's interested in AIice and he's asked AIice
to go to this dance with him.
:47:23
AIice can't go...
:47:25
...because Henrietta Lamb
hasn't invited her.
:47:28
Oh, my....
:47:30
Yes, I shouId think you wouId say,
''Oh, my.''
:47:32
Your chiId's been snubbed and picked on
by every girI in this town...
:47:36
...and it's aII on account of you,
VirgiI Adams.
:47:39
Yes, these girIs don't Iike me
so they pick on AIice.
:47:43
They wouIdn't dare do it
to MiIdred PaImer...
:47:45
...because she's got money
and famiIy to back her.
:47:47
And, you Iisten to me,
the way the worId is now, money is famiIy.
:47:52
And AIice couId have just
as much famiIy as any of them...
:47:54
...if you hadn't faIIen behind in the race.
:47:56
-How did I?
-Yes, you did.
:47:58
Twenty-five years ago, the peopIe we knew
weren't any better off than us...
