:56:00
...we just say that you stayed abroad
to study something or other.

:56:04
- Can we talk to Catherine alone?
- Yes, on a private family matter.

:56:09
Just some papers gotta be signed.
Some business.

:56:15
Is that all right?
:56:17
Don't worry. Since I've been allowed
to smoke, I've become a perfect lamb.

:56:21
My little girl was
always a perfect lamb.

:56:26
Thank you.
:56:36
- Cathy, Sebastian left a will.
- A generous, thoughtful will.

:56:40
He bequeathed to us,
to you and to me, $50,000 each...

:56:44
...after taxes are paid.
:56:46
- Sebastian always was very kind.
- Isn't that the truth?

:56:49
But there is a problem.
:56:50
It's very complicated, but
Mr. Brossard, this new lawyer, is...

:56:55
...trying to get it through probate.
- Only it won't go through probate.

:56:59
- Why not?
- Aunt Vi won't let it.

:57:01
Well, you see, it has to do with you.
With your being ill.

:57:05
- She doesn't trust me with the money?
- 50 grand is chickenfeed to Aunt Vi.

:57:10
- Then what is it?
- When you went off your rocker...

:57:14
Shut up, Mama. Cathy's not
that far gone. Are you, Cathy?

:57:18
- When I went off my rocker...?
- Yeah. You said something.

:57:21
You made up some crazy story
about Sebastian.

:57:24
- When she heard whatever it was...
- Last night...

:57:27
...not a word would she say,
except that you babbled.

:57:30
That's her word for it. You babbled
some story about Sebastian...

:57:34
...and how he lived and...
- Died...

:57:38
...in a place called Cabeza de Lobo.
:57:41
What you said gave her a real turn.
:57:44
When doctors decided you were crazy,
she wanted you to stay at St. Mary's.

:57:49
Or even right here.
This seems such a nice place too.

:57:53
- With that nice, capable doctor.
- Go on.

:57:56
Written permission was needed
to keep you here.

:57:59
So that was the point
of the private supper.
