:37:03
But I know I can't.
She's ill.
:37:07
She sounded strong.
:37:11
No, I mean... ill.
:37:15
She had to raise me all by herself,
after my f ather died.
:37:19
I was only five and it,
it must've been quite a strain f or her.
:37:23
I mean, she didn't have to go to work or
anything. He left her a little money.
:37:26
Anyway, a f ew years ago,
Mother met this man.
:37:31
And he... he talked her
into building this motel.
:37:34
He could have talked her
into anything.
:37:37
And when he died too, it was
just too great a shock f or her.
:37:42
And the way
he died...
:37:46
(Chuckles) I guess it's nothing
to talk about while you're eating.
:37:51
Anyway, it was just too great
a loss f or her. She had nothing left.
:37:55
Except you.
:37:57
Well, a son is a poor substitute
f or a lover.
:38:03
Why don't you go away?
:38:05
To a private island,
like you?
:38:10
(Sighs)
No... not like me.
:38:14
I couldn't do that.
Who'd look after her?
:38:18
She'd be alone up there.
:38:22
The fire would go out.
:38:25
It'd be cold and damp
like a grave.
:38:28
If you love someone, you don't do that
to them, even if you hate them.
:38:35
You understand, l...
I don't hate her.
:38:39
I hate what she's become.
I hate the illness.
:38:45
Wouldn't it be better
if you put her... some place?
:38:54
You mean an institution?
A madhouse?
:38:59
(Chuckles) People always call
a madhouse "some place," don't they?
