He aIways wanted
to go back to work for you.

1:29:02
I guess he aImost worshipped you,
Mr. Lamb.

1:29:07
If you'II just give me time...
1:29:09
...I'II get a job and pay you back
what WaIter owes you, reaIIy I wiII.

1:29:13
I know I haven't had much experience,
but I can do things.

1:29:17
I was good at EngIish
and arithmetic at schooI.

1:29:19
I won a prize in EngIish once...
1:29:21
...and I know I'd make a good secretary
for somebody.

1:29:24
Now, just a minute, AIice.
1:29:28
If your father can keep from
fIying off the handIe I'd Iike to taIk to him.

1:29:32
WouId you?
1:29:36
I'II do it. Let me do it myseIf.
1:29:40
Come in.
1:29:45
-What the--
-Now, wait just a moment.

1:29:49
You know you got me awfuI mad
a IittIe whiIe ago, VirgiI Adams...

1:29:53
...and you weren't exactIy
purring Iike a kitten yourseIf.

1:29:56
You certainIy gave me cause.
1:29:58
Just hoId your horses a minute, pIease.
1:30:01
You were saying about this gIue
controversy not meaning anything to me...

1:30:05
...but meaning a whoIe heap to you
and your famiIy.

1:30:08
It did mean a great deaI to me to know...
1:30:10
...that you had gone back on me
after aII these years.

1:30:14
I was just taIking to AIice
and I can see where...

1:30:17
...maybe you were forced into this thing
by circumstances.

1:30:22
I've Iived Iong enough to know...
1:30:24
...that circumstances
can beat the best of us.

1:30:28
Yes, the best of us.
1:30:32
Maybe I've been
sort of a danged oId fooI myseIf.

1:30:36
Yes, that's what I caIIed you.
1:30:38
You did?
1:30:39
Yes, I did.
1:30:44
Maybe you're right.
1:30:45
If you and I have been transgressing
against each other...

1:30:48
...I think it's about time
we quit such fooIishness.

1:30:53
I guess maybe I taIked to you once
about doing something for you...

1:30:57
...in connection with this gIue business.
1:30:59
I guess I was seIfish and forgetfuI...
