:48:01
Mother wants me to watch him
the whole time he's in the house.
:48:04
- No;you told me
not to have him back here.
- Like I watched Tom.
:48:07
- No; thanks.
- My eyes dropped out.
Mother and her friends.
:48:12
I never cared for the three
people that my mother liked.
:48:15
I couldn't get on with Mr. Beale...
:48:18
and I didn't care
for her composer friend...
:48:20
and as for Tom Logan;
he drove me crazy in the house.
:48:23
[ Mrs. Beale ] I loved Tom.
He played the guitar so beautifully.
:48:27
He sang and was in a rodeo;
and even was in Hollywood.
:48:31
You'd have to admire
somebody like that.
:48:33
-She was a pushover.
- He had no place to go.
:48:36
And then he asked my mother;
he said; ''I've just been fired
from the Sea Spray.
:48:39
Would you like a maintenance man ?''
Mother took him home.
:48:42
I didn't want a maintenance man.
I said, ''I'll take you home
for one night.''
:48:46
- That's the story of Tom Logan.
- That's what I said.
:48:49
There wasn't a thing
he didn't know how to do.
:48:52
He could fix anything.
:48:54
Lights, plumber things.
:48:58
He knew how to do everything.
Just one of those terribly clever men.
:49:02
He couldn't do any work. He made good
salads, but he was drunk all the time.
:49:06
Oh, no. He came up here every morning
at 6:00, knocked on my door.
:49:10
We talked over
the menu for the day.
:49:15
Including a half a bottle
of rose vin...
:49:21
or wine or whatever it's called.
:49:23
Naturally; we couldn't get rid
of him; and I had to stay here.
:49:25
What I should have done is leave;
and he would have left right away.
:49:28
All right;you don't believe
in religious compulsion.
It was a religious thing.
:49:31
- If I had left, he would have left.
- No; I deserve--
:49:34
- Because the work
would have been too much.
- He didn't want to go.
:49:37
All alone in the house for Tom.
All I had to do was leave.
I'm so stupid that I--
:49:41
Well; where would I have been ?
I'd have been all alone in the house.
:49:44
I think you would have, Mother.
:49:46
-[ Mrs. Beale ] Edie! Yoo-hoo!
- What ?
:49:51
The Marble Faun is at the door.
He can wait.
:49:55
LetJerry in. Hurry up.
:49:58
I'm gonna look at this path
withoutJerry.
