:40:01
It all started during my illness.
I've just had diphtheria.
:40:05
You see, doctor,
my husband keeps appearing.
:40:09
He's everywhere.
In the chair, beside my bed...
:40:13
...standing at the foot of my bed,
watching me eat my breakfast...
:40:17
Just everywhere.
And I find it most disconcerting.
:40:23
You should have stuck to him.
:40:26
- Stuck to him? After what he did?
- How old are you, Mrs. Skeffington?
:40:31
Forty...
:40:34
...five.
:40:36
Fifty.
:40:38
Well, I didn't sleep very well last night.
:40:41
See how important quiet nights are
for women your age?
:40:44
- To everybody, I imagine.
- lf you don't want to become an eyesore.
:40:47
Eyesore? Are you suggesting
that I am an eyesore?
:40:51
No. Neither are you Lillian Russell.
:40:53
- Oh, Dr. Byles, l...
- Sit down.
:40:59
My dear lady, the entire basis
of psychoanalysis is truth.
:41:03
Seeing your husband comes out
of a subconscious desire to see him.
:41:06
- A need for him.
- That's ridiculous.
:41:08
I have no desire to see Job.
And I'm sure he has no desire to see me.
:41:12
Nevertheless, what I say is true.
Go back to your husband.
:41:15
- Talk to him. Have him over for dinner.
- No, I can't. He's in Germany.
:41:19
Ask him to come back.
It's your only hope.
:41:22
That's where a husband comes in,
when your romantic days are over.
:41:26
My romantic days over? How do you know
my romantic days are over?
:41:30
Oh, my poor woman.
:41:31
Oh, my poor doctor.
Shall I tell you something?
:41:34
When I was ill, there were at least six
men willing to give their lives for me.
:41:38
That was before you became ill.
Now, listen, please.
:41:41
The only person of any use to a woman
whose run has been long...
:41:45
- Oh, Dr. Byles, l...
- Sit. I haven't earned my fee yet.
:41:51
The only person who will stick
to such a woman is her husband.
:41:54
Admirers or sweethearts
never mean what they say...
:41:58
...and always end up
by turning sour on the stomach.
