1:01:00
- To save face, right?
- Oh, right.
1:01:02
- That would have started a big megillah.
- Exactly.
1:01:05
That's... You did exactly the right thing.
1:01:13
12 days of Christmas.
1:01:18
One day of Christmas
is loathsome enough.
1:01:22
What were we saying?
Oh, yes. My mother.
1:01:25
But you don't want to sit there
listening to me talking...
1:01:28
Of course I do. I'm interested.
1:01:31
It's rather like listening to
Orestes gripe about Clytemnestra.
1:01:36
- Who?
- Greeks. A couple of Greeks in a play.
1:01:39
Oh. Well, you know, Ben...
it's a terrible thing to hate your mother.
1:01:45
But I didn't always hate her.
1:01:47
When I was a child,
I only kind of disliked her.
1:01:52
But after what she did to Jocie and me,
1:01:56
that's when I began to hate her.
1:01:59
Jocie?
1:02:01
Jocie Jordan.
1:02:03
Senator Jordan's daughter.
1:02:07
That's pretty funny, isn't it?
1:02:13
Thomas Jordan's daughter
1:02:16
and Johnny Iselin's stepson.
1:02:24
That's her.
1:02:28
Jocie.
1:02:32
- She's lovely.
- I always keep her picture.
1:02:41
Years later, I realised, Ben, that...
I'm not very loveable.
1:02:46
No, no. Don't contradict me.
1:02:48
I am not loveable.
1:02:50
Some people are loveable
and other people are not loveable.
1:02:53
I am not loveable.
1:02:58
Oh, but I was very loveable with Jocie.
