1:56:03
Not with me, you're no champion.
You're stepping up.
1:56:06
Please say whatyou have to say, plainly
and distinctly, and then let me take my nap.
1:56:10
Very well. Although it's unnecessary,
because you know what I'm going to say.
1:56:16
Lloyd may leave Karen,
but he will not leave Karen for you.
1:56:20
- What do you mean by that?
- More plainly and more distinctly?
1:56:24
I have not come to New Haven
to see the play, discuss your dreams,
1:56:28
or pull the ivy from the walls of Yale.
1:56:30
I came to tell you thatyou will
not marry Lloyd, or anyone else,
1:56:34
because I will not permit it.
1:56:36
- What have you got to do with it?
- Everything.
1:56:39
Because after tonightyou will belong to me.
1:56:42
Belong? To you?
1:56:47
I can't believe my ears.
1:56:49
A dull cliché.
1:56:51
"Belong" to you?
1:56:53
That sounds medieval.
Something out of an old melodrama.
1:56:56
So does the history of the world
for the past 20 years.
1:56:59
I don't enjoy putting it this bluntly.
1:57:01
I'd hoped thatyou would have
taken it for granted thatyou and I...
1:57:05
"Taken it for granted"?
1:57:07
"That you and I..."?
1:57:14
Now remember, as long as you live,
never to laugh at me.
1:57:17
At anything or anyone else, but never at me.
1:57:23
- Get out.
- You're too short for that gesture.
1:57:27
Besides, it went out with Mrs Fiske.
1:57:30
Then if you won't get out,
I'll have you thrown out.
1:57:33
Don't pick up that phone. Don't even touch it.
1:57:36
Something told you to do
what I said, didn't it?
1:57:39
That instinct is worth millions.
You can't buy it, Eve. Cherish it.
1:57:43
When that alarm goes off,
go to your battle stations.
1:57:47
To begin with, your name is not Eve
Harrington. It's Gertrude Slescynski.
1:57:52
- What of it?
- True, your parents were poor, and still are.
1:57:55
They would like to know how you are. They
haven't heard from you for three years.
