1:10:02
I was confident that things
would develop with us.
1:10:05
But as time has gone by,
I've realized more and more...
1:10:09
... that this thing is just
never gonna work out.
1:10:13
Now, maybe I didn't handle it
as well as I should have.
1:10:16
Maybe all of those times that I got
sore at you, you thought I really was.
1:10:21
But I wasn't, Gladys.
1:10:23
No?
1:10:25
What I was sore at was
that crackbrained idea of yours...
1:10:29
... that seemed to be taking up all of
your time, your energy and interest...
1:10:33
... and attention, so you had no time
to concentrate on anything else!
1:10:38
Least of all me.
1:10:40
That's what I was sore about.
1:10:42
And the other day, when you drove
up in that last straw...
1:10:50
... I knew my goose was cooked.
Here I had gone along...
1:10:53
... figuring all the time that I was
competing with your passion for fame.
1:10:57
And suddenly, in one fell swoop,
I realized I'd been wrong all along.
1:11:01
Now, it is just hopeless for me
to try and compete...
1:11:04
... with a man who drives a foreign car
and wears a silk suit...
1:11:09
... and, no doubt, real gold cuff links.
1:11:11
Also, I had a good look at this Joe...
1:11:14
... and, well, I'm only being honest
with myself when I say that...
1:11:17
... in my opinion,
he's even better-looking than I am.
1:11:22
Although I personally have reached
a point where I sort of like my looks.
1:11:26
But then, of course, I've been around
with them for quite a long while.
1:11:30
Well...
1:11:32
... be that as it may...
1:11:33
... I never got around to bringing
up the subject of "I love you."
1:11:38
But no doubt you're aware of it.
1:11:41
I'm sorry to bother you
with all of this, but...
1:11:44
... I couldn't face handling
it in person, and I can't write.
1:11:47
So this is probably the best way.
1:11:50
The reason I did not
wanna just disappear...
1:11:53
... is because I wouldn't want you
to ever think badly of me.
1:11:56
In fact, I hope that you can
remember me...
1:11:59
... with some amount of affection...
