:19:03
She shouldn't take another tranquilizer.
:19:06
She's had her Seconal tonight, hasn't she?
:19:08
- Then you've been drinking at the party.
- Not much.
:19:11
Gerald, listen to me for a moment.
:19:13
I find myself...
:19:15
Listen to me, please. I find myself...
:19:17
in a very awkward position here.
:19:19
Extremely awkward.
:19:21
Why didn't you turn on the light?
:19:23
Skewered on the horns
of an ugly dilemma.
:19:26
On one hand, I find the role of informer
a highly repugnant one.
:19:30
At the same time,
I must consider what is best for Duncan.
:19:33
But it involves a moral judgment
I'm not prepared to make.
:19:37
Now, the act of copulation in itself
isn't the factor it used to be.
:19:42
I realize that young people
look at things differently.
:19:46
The other thing is,
you know how I feel about Duncan.
:19:49
I think I can look after him as well,
if not a damn sight better...
:19:54
than any teenage mercenary...
:19:56
quite apart from
all that humpity-jump on the sofa...
:19:58
sandwiched in, so to speak,
between English Literature and Algebra.
:20:02
Ticklish situation.
:20:04
I do what I have to do.
:20:06
I risk being accused of ulterior motives
of just wanting her out of the way.
:20:10
You see that, don't you?
:20:15
That's what it all boils down to, son.
:20:20
What's that?
:20:23
In other words, Gerald,
I forget that you only had one year of Latin.
:20:27
Who shall keep the keepers themselves?
:20:30
That is the question here.
:20:32
I don't know the answer, son.
Tell me what to do. I need your help.
:20:37
Tell me what to do.
:20:40
Let's sleep on it, shall we, Pop?
:20:42
All right, Gerald. Good enough.
:20:45
Thank you for hearing me out.
I feel much better now.
:20:49
God bless you, Gerald.
:20:52
Sure you wouldn't like a cup of cocoa?
