1:10:04
Remember, we talked about it,
keep your answers short and succinct.
1:10:08
Just tell the truth and it'll be
all right. Believe me.
1:10:14
-She's here.
-Yeah, I know. I saw her.
1:10:17
Whatever you do, try not to become
emotional, no matter what he says.
1:10:21
You'll hear things that may upset you.
I don't want you to react.
1:10:25
Persons having business with the
Supreme Court, State of New York...
1:10:29
...special term part five,
draw nigh and ye shall be heard.
1:10:32
This court is now in session.
Judge Atkins presiding. All rise.
1:10:53
-Is the petitioner's attorney ready?
-I am, Your Honour.
1:10:57
I would like to call Joanna Kramer.
1:10:59
Motherhood, going for the throat.
1:11:01
You swear to tell the truth
and nothing but the truth?
1:11:04
I do.
1:11:11
Now, Mrs. Kramer, would you tell
the court how long you were married?
1:11:15
Eight years.
1:11:17
And would you describe those years
as happy?
1:11:20
The first two, yes.
1:11:23
But after that it became
increasingly difficult.
1:11:27
Mrs. Kramer, did you hold a job
before you were married?
1:11:31
Yes, I did.
When I first got out of Smith...
1:11:35
...l worked in the art department of
Mademoiselle magazine for years.
1:11:41
Did you continue to work
after you were married?
1:11:44
No. I did not.
1:11:46
Did you wish to?
1:11:48
Yes, but every time I talked to Ted--
1:11:53
To my ex-husband about it,
he wouldn't listen.
1:11:58
He refused to discuss it
in any serious way.
