:58:03
You've gotta understand...
:58:05
This 100 grand is important to us.
:58:08
It means George will have all sorts
of advantages now.
:58:11
Things we couldn't give him, since 1929
killed your father and our nest egg.
:58:15
Mother, you didn't sign those papers?
:58:18
- You didn't commit me to Lions View?
- Not yet.
:58:21
But, Cathy, the way Aunt Vi put it,
there was no choice at all.
:58:25
Mama's gotta sign.
:58:26
Besides, honey, it's not like
it was for always.
:58:30
In no time,
after the little operation...
:58:33
...you'll be able to...
:58:37
What little operation?
:58:40
Oh, Cathy!
:58:44
There's only one little operation
they perform here.
:58:48
It's on the brain.
It's called a lobotomy.
:58:51
You may have heard of it
or read about it. I have.
:58:55
It's that nice young doctor's
specialty.
:58:58
In cases of hopeless lunacy...
:59:01
...he bores holes into the skull
and operates on the brain!
:59:05
Oh, honey, please don't
talk about it. Please!
:59:09
- You can't let them!
- Stop. It's not the end of the world!
:59:13
- Don't sign that paper!
- They say it don't hurt.
:59:16
- Don't let them!
- No worse than tonsils.
:59:19
And then, afterwards,
you're all right again.
