:49:01
- Hey, I'm happy for you. I re--
- You are?

:49:04
- Yes. I just would have
liked to have known it.
- Are you sure?

:49:06
- The Amanda Sloane Gallery.
I think that it's great.
- Yeah, on Vesey Street.

:49:09
Believe me.
I haven't even told Jerry Bender yet.

:49:12
"You've got a fine right, you have,
after the way you treated Mother,

:49:16
"after the way you treated us all!
:49:18
"A fine right you've got to come back
in here in your best country manner...

:49:22
"and strike attitudes
and make stands...

:49:25
"and criticize my fiance
and give orders...

:49:28
"and mess things up generally
as if you'd done--

:49:30
"Well, I can't help it.
It's sickening!

:49:32
As if he'd done nothing at all!"
:49:38
Well?
:49:40
What do you think?
:49:42
- About what?
- About me.

:49:45
- You think I'm any good?
- Yes, it's fine.

:49:48
I-- You know, you're asking
the wrong person.

:49:50
I don't know that much about acting,
to tell you the truth.

:49:53
Oh, I can tell
you're not too impressed.

:49:55
No, no, no. I just thought, you know,
it's a very odd part for you to choose.

:49:58
- Why?
- Well, you know, 'cause
it's The Philadelphia Story.

:50:01
- But I lived in Philadelphia.
- What has that got to do with it?

:50:04
- I know the city.
- What? You pick a part like this--

:50:08
You should get something
closer to yourself.
It wouldn't be such a struggle.

:50:12
- You know.
- Well, what part should I play?

:50:14
You know-- I don't know.
Something closer.

:50:17
Clint Eastwood doesn't play
a meek little hairdresser.

:50:19
Well, I could play
a hairdresser.

:50:22
I-I used to--
I used to do it a lot.

:50:24
I wanted to be one.
I was very good at it.

:50:26
- So why'd you give it up?
- Well, I don't know.

:50:29
One thing led to another.
:50:31
You know, my aunt worked
in a beauty parlor for years.

:50:33
She loved it.
:50:35
Wait. You mean
not be an actress?

:50:38
Well, an actress
is a very tough life, you know.

:50:41
- But a hairdresser
could always make a buck.
- A buck?

:50:44
A buck! An honest buck.
No beatings, no AIDS.

:50:47
You can meet somebody
that you, you know--

:50:49
You can get a family, have a real life,
someone that cares for you.

:50:52
Hey!
:50:54
Now, don't you think that I want
to meet somebody and get married...

:50:57
and get the hell
out of the rat race?

:50:59
I would like to move away
and become a mother and just raise kids.
