:23:00
I never had the impression
that you were married.
:23:04
Neither did my wife.
That was my trouble. What's yours?
:23:12
It's nothing important.
I'll see you in the morning.
:23:16
- Does she want you to play the part?
- She's all for it.
:23:20
The day I met her,
:23:22
she seemed a little difficult
about terms, rather domineering.
:23:28
- She wasn't always like that.
- I know.
:23:31
They start out as Juliets
and wind up as Lady Macbeths.
:23:35
When I first met her, she was as fine
a person as you've ever seen.
:23:40
She had background and breeding.
:23:43
She had a nobility about her that
made me feel proud to be with her.
:23:50
I was a good deal older than she was,
but it didn't seem to matter.
:23:55
She wasn't a flighty kid.
:23:58
She had a poise and dignity
that was ageless.
:24:03
Those first few years,
I never knew a better life.
:24:09
A wife who was everything
I'd been looking for.
:24:13
A son who was smart, healthy.
:24:19
Then our son died.
:24:22
I came home from the theatre
one night a couple of months later.
:24:26
This kid, I don't think she ever
had a real drink in her life before.
:24:33
There she is, stretched out
across the bed, dead drunk,
:24:38
her wrists cut and bleeding.
:24:45
She was jealous that I had my work,
something to live for.
:24:50
She felt she had nothing.
:24:55
Inside of a year,
she was a hopeless drunkard.
