:43:02
instead of just going on and on
about what a bastard Tom Townsend is.
:43:05
What am I supposed to do? Declare myself?
That would be an absolute disaster.
:43:08
And don't think
I haven't thought about these things.
:43:12
Yes, Rick and Serena broke up.
:43:13
But this afternoon they both went down
to Washington for Holly Gilchrist's party.
:43:17
It was Holly who was responsible
for getting them together in the first place.
:43:20
- Oh, so she was responsible.
- ( Tom ) They went together?
:43:22
( Cynthia ) They went separately.
How they'll come back-
:43:25
I don't think that Rick is the sort of guy
who lets himself be dropped.
:43:28
- Ha!
- What is that supposed to mean?
:43:31
Ha!
:43:33
Rick really threatens you somehow.
:43:35
How does he threaten me?
:43:37
Maybe by being
more of a man than you are.
:43:40
- You stupid slut.
- ( Sally ) Oh, come on!!
:43:42
What has Rick done
that's so terrible?
:43:45
He is terrible.
:43:47
I shouldn't have to go into
all the sordid details.
:43:49
Could you go into
a few sordid details?
:43:52
I don't think there are any reasons,
except for maybe jealousy.
:43:55
Rick makes him feel
terribly inadequate somehow.
:43:58
Okay, I'll tell you
about Rick Von Sloneker.
:44:06
Does the name Polly Perkins
mean anything to you?
:44:09
Sounds familiar.
:44:12
She grew up in Virginia.
:44:14
A horse fanatic since childhood.
:44:16
Went to one of those horsey girls schools -
Garrison Forest, I think.
:44:19
Sometime in her senior year
she started feeling depressed.
:44:22
Now, partly it was finally
becoming disillusioned with horses.
:44:26
But there were some
real psychological problems too.
:44:30
That summer she got a job in Edgartown
and seemed completely recovered...
:44:34
except for a couple of idiosyncrasies -
she'd only dress in blue...
:44:37
and she wouldn't eat hamburgers
unless they were completely well done.
:44:40
Any hint of redness
and she'd send them back.
:44:43
Out of loyalty to her boyfriend
in Virginia...
:44:47
she'd only go on group dates,
never individual ones.
:44:51
Von Sloneker met her when
he came to Edgartown for the regatta.
:44:56
She showed
no interest in him at all initially...
:44:59
which makes sense because
he's a completely uninteresting guy.
