I have a message for Allison.
Is she home?
:48:05
No, she and Selena have just gone over
to Kathy Ellsworth's house.
:48:09
That gives me a good excuse
to talk to you.
:48:13
- May I come in?
- Oh, of course.
:48:19
- You have a lovely house.
- Thank you.
:48:23
Please come in.
:48:32
This is a very comfortable room.
:48:34
Good books, pictures.
My own hotel room is a bit basic.
:48:39
I have a mirror for shaving, a basin for
washing and a closet to hang my coat.
:48:43
You ought to find a house.
:48:45
I'm trying to.
:48:46
In the meantime, I have my hotel room,
which I clear out of right after dinner.
:48:52
You said you had something
you wanted to tell me.
:48:55
I was telling you something,
but you weren't listening.
:49:01
Your husband?
:49:04
He died when Allison was 2.
:49:12
And Allison.
:49:14
- A few years ago.
- She's grown a bit since then.
:49:18
I came to tell you that Allison
has been named valedictorian.
:49:23
Wonderful. She'll be terribly pleased,
and so am I.
:49:27
She's a fine girl, bright and sensitive.
You should be very proud of her.
:49:32
Yes, I am.
:49:35
Well, that's what I came about.
:49:40
Good night, Mrs. MacKenzie.
:49:41
You are lonely here, aren't you?
:49:45
It's not the worst thing
that can happen to you.
:49:48
- Isn't it?
- You can learn to live by yourself.
:49:51
You can get used to it.
:49:53
Maybe. But that doesn't make it
the best way to live.
:49:56
The best way?
What would that be?
