:58:02
Isn't it awful ? God.
:58:05
It's awful, I'm telling you.
It's awful ! God !

:58:14
My father believed in running
the children's lives, you know ?

:58:17
He wanted me to get my master's degree,
be a junior partner in his law firm.

:58:21
- Take the ice cream.
- He was 1 65 Broadway;

:58:24
on the ninth floor,
and my knees would start to shake...

:58:27
coming down on the ninth floor
of Mr. Beale's offiice.

:58:30
My knees were rattling.
My mouth was dry.

:58:35
You were scared of your father.
:58:37
And I'd go in, and he'd
come forward out of his office
with his watch in his hand,

:58:41
and then he'd look at the clock
on the wall, and he'd say,

:58:44
''You're five minutes late,''
he'd say. Oh, my God.

:58:48
- No; he had a very--
- And then he'd sit down
and look at me like this...

:58:51
and say, ''Take it off.
Take that hat off.

:58:54
''Take that lipstick off.
Take that nail polish off.

:58:57
- How dare you wear those high heels !''
- Oh; she's just acting.

:59:01
Don't you want some of this ?
Butter pecan.

:59:04
Mmm. Mmm.
:59:07
He said the only thing
to be was a professional woman.

:59:11
He did say that.
Didn't he, Mother ?

:59:15
Well, I wouldn't say
it's the only thing.

:59:17
He didn't want me to get married.
:59:20
I don't think people should get married.
I don't believe in it at all.

:59:24
If you can't get a man to propose
to you, you might as well be dead.

:59:27
- Oh; I don't think it's important.
- I think it's disgusting,

:59:30
- Aunt Mary had the most wonderful life.
- absolutely disgusting...

:59:33
- Lived to be 94 years of age.
- to live alone.

:59:35
What are they proving ?
They have to around with dogs
or other women or something.

:59:39
- Dogs are lovely.
- I, I think it's terrible.

:59:42
I'll take a dog any day.
[ Chuckles ]

:59:47
Why didn't you marry the man
you wanted to, like I did ?

:59:52
I think the saddest thing was my not
marrying into the Obelensky family...

:59:56
'cause I adore them.
:59:59
- Any Obelensky is wonderful.
That's all I can say.
- He's a very sweet man.
