Merry Christmas.
1:52:14
Come in.
1:52:15
Merry Christmas.
1:52:19
It's been a long time.
It is Christmas.
1:52:21
You don't have to explain a gift.
Thank you.
1:52:25
Come in. Let me take your coat.
1:52:28
I can only stay a moment.
I have to deliver a few more things.
1:52:32
- Can I fix you a drink?
- No, thank you.
1:52:37
Well, come in, sit down.
1:52:39
Well, I really came to... .
1:52:41
Is it true that you
might go to Portland?
1:52:44
Well, I've received the offer.
1:52:45
It's a larger school, and
naturally, much more money.
1:52:49
- You'll take it.
- I don't know.
1:52:51
I have a week to make up my mind.
Sit down.
1:52:58
- Michael?
- Yes?
1:53:00
You were right.
I never thought I could say it...
1:53:03
...but you were right.
- About what?
1:53:05
During the past months, I've been able to
come to a few conclusions about myself.
1:53:09
- And what were they?
- Well, Michael, I've lied so long.
1:53:13
I was everything you said,
especially that night in the kitchen.
1:53:18
I wanted you more
than you wanted me.
1:53:20
- I had no right to say those things.
- Yes, you did.
1:53:23
- I came to tell you the truth.
- You don't owe me an explanation.
1:53:27
Allison didn't leave home because
of Nellie's suicide...
1:53:30
...but because she hated me.
1:53:32
- She won't answer my letters or calls.
- Why not?
1:53:36
The night you walked out,
Marion Partridge called me.
1:53:39
She told me Allison and Norman...
1:53:41
I heard about that woman
and her phone calls.
1:53:44
Well, I've always been
so afraid of scandal.
1:53:47
I believed Marion.
I believed that phone call.
1:53:52
Without thinking, when Allison returned,
I told her some terrible things.
1:53:56
What things?
1:53:58
Come on, Connie, what things?
