:14:02
What's wrong, Linda?
:14:04
Your friend Bobby Reed
has been to see me...
:14:07
with his nefarious portfolio.
:14:11
Yes, he told me.
:14:13
- He told you?
- Yes.
:14:14
I paid him, too, you know.
:14:17
No, I didn't know.
:14:19
Yes, he's an ambitious fellow.
:14:22
It's all right.
:14:23
I don't think it's all right, Cole.
I think it's disgusting.
:14:27
He's exploiting both of us.
:14:29
Well, yes.
:14:30
I like to look at it as a kind of luxury tax.
:14:35
A luxury tax?
:14:38
What an extraordinary thing to say.
:14:41
Do you have any idea how much
you've changed?
:14:44
How much your behavior has changed?
:14:46
You have put everything that you've
accomplished with your music at risk.
:14:52
Darling, my work has never been better.
:14:54
It's flourishing. Even if we're not.
:14:57
Your music comes from your talent,
not from your behavior.
:15:01
It's all the same thing. I can't put
my talent here and my behavior here...
:15:05
and my eating, sleeping,
and drinking habits.
:15:07
It's all me.
:15:09
I have never asked you to change.
:15:14
Just be discreet.
:15:15
Linda, I have never been discreet.
:15:19
What is discretion but dishonesty
wrapped up in a little good breeding?
:15:24
I don't think you want me to be discreet,
I think you want me to be different.
:15:29
I am partially responsible for all of this...
:15:31
because I have spoiled you,
I have indulged you.
:15:36
But so has the entire goddamned world.
:15:40
And for what?
:15:42
Just a little music.
:15:51
Linda hated being late for anything.
And the next day she was late for lunch.
:15:55
I only had to hear the clock strike...
:15:58
and look at her empty place at the table
to know she was gone.
