:50:01
All right, maybe you're not a writer.
Why don't you do something else?
:50:04
Sure, take a nice job.
:50:06
Public accountant, real estate salesman.
:50:09
I haven't the guts, Helen.
:50:11
Most men lead lives of quiet desperation.
I can't take quiet desperation.
:50:15
But you are a writer. You have every quality for it.
Imagination, wit, pity...
:50:20
Come on, let's face reality.
:50:22
I'm thirty-three, I'm living on the charity of my brother.
:50:26
Room and board free. Fifty cents a week for cigarettes.
:50:29
An occasional ticket to a show or concert,
:50:32
all out of the bigness of his heart.
And it is a big heart and a patient one.
:50:36
- I've only been carrying you along for the time being.
- Shut up, Wick
:50:40
I've never done anything, I'm not doing anything,
I never will do anything.
:50:43
Zero, zero, zero.
:50:45
- Now you shut up. We'll straighten it out.
- Look.
:50:48
Wick has the misfortune to be my brother.
You just happened to walk in on this.
:50:53
Now if you know what's good for you, you'll turn around
and walk out again and walk fast and don't turn back.
:51:03
Why don't you make some coffee, Wick? Strong, three cups.
:51:07
Look, Helen.
:51:08
Do yourself a favor. Go on, clear out.
:51:11
Because I've got a rival? Because you're in love with this?
:51:14
You don't know me, Don.
:51:15
I'm going to fight and fight and fight.
:51:18
Bend down.
:51:27
All right.
:51:35
That was three years ago, Nat.
:51:38
That's a long time to keep fighting, to keep believing.
:51:41
She knows she's clutching a razor blade but she won't let go.
:51:44
Three years of it.
:51:46
And what? How does it come out?
:51:48
I don't know. Haven't figured that far.
:51:51
Want me to tell ya?
:51:52
One day your guy gets wise to himself and gets back that gun.
:51:56
Or, if he's only got a buck then, he goes up
to the Empire State Building, way up on top and then...
