1:16:01
Don't speak.
B-- Uh, please, don't speak.
1:16:04
- Don't speak. No. Don't speak.
- [ Muffled ]
1:16:07
No, please.
1:16:09
- Are you having an affair
with Helen Sinclair?
- What? No!
1:16:13
- Don't lie to me.
- What are you talking about?
1:16:15
You two are in every gossip column in
town. You were all over Boston together.
1:16:19
- You know those columns.
- All those late nights.
1:16:21
- I was working!
- What about this?
1:16:23
- That's a cigarette case I found.
I don't know where I found it.
- "To Helen from Cole.
1:16:27
- Let's do it.
- I remember now. I admired it,
and she gave it to me.
1:16:30
-Why didn't you tell me?
-Because there's nothing to tell, Ellen.
1:16:33
Now that you're on the eve
of success, you want to dump me
and go off with Helen Sinclair.
1:16:38
- That is ri-- That is ridiculous.
- Are you sure?
1:16:41
You know how crazy
you sound right now?
1:16:43
- You never encouraged me
to stay in Boston.
- I was submerged in my work.
1:16:46
The play's in trouble.
I'm working.
1:16:50
Hey, it's me.
It's David.
1:16:52
You know?
David? Okay?
1:16:56
What an imagination
on this girl.
1:17:00
[ David ] Listen, Flender,
I'm completely mixed up.
1:17:04
Ellen, Ellen. I love Ellen.
She's been with me the whole time.
1:17:07
Stuck by me. I knew she'd
be happier back in Pittsburgh.
1:17:10
- We've had a great relationship.
- Right.
1:17:12
- I love her dearly. And yet--
- Yeah. Yes. Get to the point.
1:17:15
What is the problem here? It's always
been clear that you've loved Ellen.
1:17:18
I've become involved with
Helen Sinclair, and I feel terrible.
1:17:22
But I can't help myself.
She's so charismatic, and
she's brilliant and beautiful.
1:17:27
I mean, a real artist, and--
and we speak the same language.
1:17:30
- You're wracked with guilt.
- I'm wracked with guilt.
1:17:32
- You're wracked with guilt.
You are wracked with guilt.
- I don't know whether--
1:17:35
- I can't sleep.
- Guilt is petit bourgeois crap.
1:17:40
- An artist creates
his own moral universe.
- I know that. I know--
1:17:44
Well? What is the problem then?
I'm gonna give you some advice.
1:17:48
The same advice that was
given to me many years ago when
I had a very similar dilemma.
1:17:52
- Similar to mine. To--
- Yes. Yes.
1:17:54
What did you do?
What?
1:17:56
You gotta do
what you gotta do.
