:58:00
May I speak to you for a moment?
:58:04
Of course, Fanny.
:58:13
Yes, Fanny?
:58:14
Johnny Mitchell and I
are going to be married.
:58:21
Johnny Mitchell.
:58:24
Well...
:58:26
I had no idea.
:58:29
But, Fanny, you haven't
known him very long.
:58:32
I've known him several months.
:58:34
As long as I've known you.
:58:39
But don't you think you should have
talked it over with your mother?
:58:44
Have I a mother?
:58:54
That's not kind of you, darling.
:58:58
I've always loved you very much.
:59:03
Sort of a long-distance love,
wasn't it, Mother?
:59:08
Fanny, I never wanted you to leave me.
:59:11
It was just that...
:59:13
Well, just that you
loved your father so much.
:59:16
And it was just that my father
loved me so much.
:59:24
Oh, I know you had
a difficult choice to make.
:59:27
You couldn't be both
a beauty and a mother.
:59:40
Oh, Mother, I used to worry
about my looks too...
:59:43
...when I was 13 and all arms and legs.
:59:46
I used to hate
that brace I had on my teeth.
:59:49
But Father would always comfort me.
:59:51
"A woman is beautiful
only when she's loved," he'd say.
:59:56
Yes, he said that to me once too.
:59:59
So you see, Mother, you mustn't blame
your illness for no longer being beautiful.
