- I'm also taking a course.
- That's technique.

1:14:05
The important part can't be taught:
Inspiration. That's where I come in.

1:14:09
I think the professor
thinks I have some promise.

1:14:12
- He's very encouraging.
- I know Professor Davis.

1:14:14
- He's trying to get you into the sack.
- No.

1:14:17
It's the reason he teaches.
Female pupils.

1:14:19
No. He's very deep. He's not like that.
1:14:22
Yeah. Very deep is exactly
where he wants to put it.

1:14:25
- Now, what about your mother?
- What, Mom?

1:14:28
Your mother. She was a movie actress for
a while. Her story might be a good plot.

1:14:32
She was just in the movies
for a very, very short time.

1:14:35
And she never made it.
Losers are much more interesting.

1:14:38
- Mom's not a loser.
- Look how defensive you are.

1:14:42
It's a good story. I know you idolised her,
but be realistic. This is important.

1:14:46
She was in the movies. She made two
or three movies, and then she met Dad.

1:14:51
And... Dad persuaded her to retire.
1:14:55
No, Alice.
I was never more than a pretty face.

1:14:59
And when it began to wrinkle,
the studio stopped calling.

1:15:03
No, there was much more to you
than your looks.

1:15:06
- You could have done more with your life.
- You flatter me.

1:15:10
After the studio didn't want me,
I was lucky your father came along.

1:15:15
I was so used to having
someone look after me.

1:15:18
I would have killed myself
if it wasn't for him.

1:15:22
That's why it's so important
to marry a substantial man...

1:15:27
...not some struggling
left-wing artist in Greenwich Village.

1:15:31
But then when Dad died, you drank
yourself to death with margaritas.

1:15:37
I couldn't help it, darling.
1:15:39
You know I could never resist
the taste of salt around the rim of a glass.

1:15:46
Oh, Mom.
1:15:48
You were so charming.
1:15:50
But so misguided.
1:15:53
Why didn't I see it?
1:15:56
When it came to me and your dad,
you had stars in your eyes.
