- Twenty-three years.
- Nobody took care of her for 25 years.

:44:06
- I took care of this damn house
for 25 years.
- I'm, I'm on the air.

:44:10
Dare say my mother was ever taken care
of by any man but my father,

:44:14
and I'll push you
under the goddamned bed !

:44:17
[ David ] No; Edie;
I think Al was referring to Gould.

:44:19
Yes, he was.
:44:21
He took care of Mother by accompanying
her to the movies and playing the piano.

:44:26
Took care of me and the washing--
:44:28
No one took care of Mrs. Beale. She had
my father's money and her own money.

:44:32
- What money ?
- The Bouvier money.

:44:35
And another thing; Mrs. Beale
wasn't taken care of sexually.

:44:40
I think he was nicer than anybody
I've ever known in my whole life.

:44:44
He was a writer.
He wrote seven books at one time.

:44:47
He was brilliant. And he played
the piano magnificently...

:44:51
and composed exquisite music
and dedicated about 80 songs to me.

:44:57
-So Edie didn't have to worry.
- No; she didn't have to worry
the way she did; no.

:45:00
She made me leave the Barbizon.
:45:03
Well; I thought you'd been
in New York long enough.

:45:06
- You were getting lines in your face.
- But I didn't want to leave.

:45:09
- I was getting my big chance.
- Oh; no;you were not.

:45:11
That married man was not going
to give you any chance at all.

:45:14
- I was getting my audition in 1 952 !
- You were not.

:45:17
- I was going to get it !
- Well;you didn't get it.
You missed out.

:45:21
I was just getting up
what you call a little nerve.

:45:24
Now, listen, you're wasting that thing
on this, 'cause it's just nuts.

:45:29
- When she said I had to come home.
- I thought you should come home.

:45:33
-She started high-pressuring me
to come back in March of 1 952;
- It was time after 25 years.

:45:37
and she kept it up
until the end ofJuly.

:45:40
- And July 29th,
I check out, got on the train,
- Well;you should come down.

:45:43
- came back,
and was never able to get back.
- It's very hot in New York.

:45:46
It's very hot in New York
onJuly 29th.
