Erm...
:47:31
- Sara.
- Hello, Mrs Murdoch. Naomi.
:47:34
- How nice of you to come and see me.
- Well, I'm afraid, I came to ask a favour.
:47:38
- Oh?
- About the graduation tomorrow night.
:47:42
We always have a little entertainment
and I thought that perhaps you might...
:47:46
That I might appear.
:47:47
It would be such a favour to me
and you do recite so beautifully.
:47:51
That's very flattering,
but why do you need me?
:47:53
You must have plenty of
corn-fed talent to fill the bill,
:47:56
someone the good people
of this town wouldn't mind applauding.
:47:59
But that's just why, I mean...
:48:03
- It would be such a good opportunity.
- Opportunity?
:48:06
If the nicer people of this town
could see you as the children did last night.
:48:09
I know they'd be impressed.
They couldn't help but be, and...
:48:12
- And maybe they might accept me.
- I didn't mean...
:48:17
Why should you want me to endear myself
to the citizens of this town?
:48:21

:48:23
- I'm very fond of your husband.
- That's what I meant.
:48:26
- And I want him to be happy.
- Isn't he going to be?
:48:28
- You're the woman he needs.
- But you're the woman he wants.
:48:32
I'm a realist, Naomi.
:48:34
Henry and I, it wasn't love.
:48:37
Not on his part, anyway.
:48:39
We had things in common
and we drifted together.
:48:43
Perhaps if you hadn't come back.
:48:45
- I'm leaving, remember?
- That wouldn't make any difference now.
:48:48
I lost him the minute he saw you again.
:48:51
And then there are the children.
:48:54
Ted's taken to you without question.
He's such a fine, open-hearted boy.
:48:58
- And Lily loves you.
- And Joyce doesn't and...
