1. Can I help you, ma'am?Copy !req
2. Well, they told me to take
a streetcar named Desire...Copy !req
3. and then transfer
to one called Cemeteries...Copy !req
4. and ride six blocks
and get off at Elysian Fields.Copy !req
5. There's your car now.Copy !req
6. Thank you.Copy !req
7. When he got home, she was waiting.Copy !req
8. Boy, you never heard nothing like that.Copy !req
9. What's the matter, honey?
You lost?Copy !req
10. I'm looking for Elysian Fields.Copy !req
11. This is Elysian Fields.
What number you looking for?Copy !req
12. Six forty-two.Copy !req
13. You don't need to look no further.Copy !req
14. I'm looking for my sister, Stella DuBois.
I mean, Mrs. Stanley Kowalski.Copy !req
15. Yeah, that's the party, all right.
You just did miss her, though.Copy !req
16. This?Copy !req
17. - Can this be her home?
- She got the downstairs. I got the up.Copy !req
18. Oh, she's out?Copy !req
19. You notice that bowling alley
up the street?Copy !req
20. - I'm not sure I did.
- Well, that's where she's at, honey.Copy !req
21. She's watching her husband bowl.Copy !req
22. Blanche!Copy !req
23. Blanche, honey!Copy !req
24. Stella. Oh, Stella for star!
Blanche!Copy !req
25. Oh, my darling. Now, let me look at you.
But don't you look at me, Stella. No, no!Copy !req
26. - I won't be seen in this merciless glare.
- Did you find our place?Copy !req
27. What are you doing in a place like that?Copy !req
28. Never, never, never
in my worst dreams did I picture...Copy !req
29. Only Poe. Only Mr. Edgar Allan Poe
could do justice to it.Copy !req
30. What are you doing
in that horrible place?Copy !req
31. Oh, what am I saying?
I didn't mean to say that.Copy !req
32. I meant to be nice and say,
"What a convenient location," and such.Copy !req
33. - You haven't said a word to me.
- You haven't given me a chance to.Copy !req
34. - Open your pretty mouth and talk.
- Come say hello to Stanley first.Copy !req
35. - No, not now. Not now.
- Just say hello.Copy !req
36. Oh, which is he?
Which one is he?Copy !req
37. - Is he the one that's...?
- The one that's making all the rhubarb.Copy !req
38. Isn't he wonderful-looking?Copy !req
39. Stella, I can't meet him now.
Not till I've bathed and rested.Copy !req
40. - Would you like a cold drink?
- Oh, bless you for that lovely inspiration.Copy !req
41. Oh, my baby, my baby.Copy !req
42. Would you like some pop?Copy !req
43. Honey. Pop?Copy !req
44. Not with my nerves tonight.
Scotch for me, please.Copy !req
45. Grape.Copy !req
46. You haven't asked me how I got away
from school before the spring term ended.Copy !req
47. I thought you'd volunteer that
information if you want to tell me.Copy !req
48. You thought I'd been fired?Copy !req
49. No. I thought
you might have resigned.Copy !req
50. Oh, I was so exhausted
by all I'd been through, my nerves broke.Copy !req
51. I was on the verge of lunacy, almost.Copy !req
52. So Mr. Graves...Copy !req
53. Mr. Graves is the high school
superintendent.Copy !req
54. Thank you. He suggested I...Copy !req
55. I take a leave of absence.Copy !req
56. I couldn't put all those
details into the wire.Copy !req
57. This buzzes right through me
and feels so good.Copy !req
58. - Would you like another?
- Uh-uh. One's my limit.Copy !req
59. You haven't said a word
about my appearance.Copy !req
60. - You look just fine.
- God love you for a liar.Copy !req
61. Daylight never exposed so total a ruin.Copy !req
62. But you...
You put on some weight. Yes.Copy !req
63. You're just as plump as a little partridge.
It's so becoming to you too.Copy !req
64. - Oh, Blanche.
- Yes, it is. Or I wouldn't say it. You...Copy !req
65. just have to
watch around the hips a little.Copy !req
66. I want you to look at my
figure, you know?Copy !req
67. I haven't put on one ounce
in 10 years, Stella.Copy !req
68. I weigh now what I weighed
the summer you left Belle Reve.Copy !req
69. The summer Dad died...Copy !req
70. and you left us.Copy !req
71. It's just incredible, Blanche,
how well you look.Copy !req
72. - Sure you wouldn't like another?
- Well...Copy !req
73. Well, maybe I will just
take one tiny nip more.Copy !req
74. Just to put the stopper on,
so to speak. Now, don't get worried.Copy !req
75. Your sister hasn't turned into a drunkard.
She's just all shaken up...Copy !req
76. and hot and dirty and tired.Copy !req
77. Waiter.Copy !req
78. You want it hot?
Scalding.Copy !req
79. Stella.
What is it, hon?Copy !req
80. There's only two rooms.
I don't see where you're gonna put me.Copy !req
81. We'll put you right here.Copy !req
82. What kind of a bed's this?
One of those collapsible beds?Copy !req
83. - Feel all right?
- Wonderful, honey.Copy !req
84. I don't like a bed that gives much.Copy !req
85. Stella, there's no door between
the two rooms, and Stanley...Copy !req
86. - Will it be decent?
- Oh, Stanley's Polish, you know.Copy !req
87. Oh, yeah.
Something like Irish, isn't it?Copy !req
88. Well...Copy !req
89. I bought some nice clothes
to meet all your lovely friends in.Copy !req
90. Well...Copy !req
91. I'm afraid
you won't think they're lovely.Copy !req
92. Well, anyway, I bought nice clothes
and I'll wear them.Copy !req
93. I guess you're hoping I'll say
I'll put up at a hotel.Copy !req
94. I'm not going to put up at a hotel.
I've got to be near you, Stella.Copy !req
95. I've got to be with people.
I can't be alone because...Copy !req
96. Because as you must have noticed, I...Copy !req
97. I'm not very well.Copy !req
98. You do seem a little...Copy !req
99. Will Stanley like me...Copy !req
100. or will I just be a visiting in-law?
I couldn't stand that, Stella.Copy !req
101. You'll get along fine together.
If you just try not to compare him...Copy !req
102. - Oh, he was an officer?
- He was master sergeant...Copy !req
103. in the Engineers Corps,
decorated four times.Copy !req
104. He had those on when you met him?Copy !req
105. I assure you I wasn't just blinded
by all the brass.Copy !req
106. - Oh, that's not what I...
- Of course, there...Copy !req
107. There were things
to adjust myself to later on.Copy !req
108. Such as his civilian background.Copy !req
109. How did he take it
when you said I was coming?Copy !req
110. - Oh, he's on the road a good deal.
- Oh, he travels?Copy !req
111. - Mm-hm.
- Good. I mean, isn't it?Copy !req
112. I can hardly stand it
when he's away for a night.Copy !req
113. Oh, Stella.Copy !req
114. When he's away for a week,
I nearly go wild.Copy !req
115. - Gracious.
- When he comes back...Copy !req
116. I cry in his lap like a baby.Copy !req
117. I guess that's what's meant
by being in love.Copy !req
118. Stella.Copy !req
119. I haven't asked you the things you
probably thought I was going to ask...Copy !req
120. so I'll expect you to be understanding
about what I have to tell you.Copy !req
121. What, Blanche?Copy !req
122. You'll reproach me. I know you're bound
to reproach me, but before you do...Copy !req
123. take into consideration you left.
I stayed and struggled.Copy !req
124. You came to New Orleans
and looked out for yourself.Copy !req
125. I stayed at Belle Reve
and tried to hold it together.Copy !req
126. Oh, I'm not meaning this
in any reproachful way.Copy !req
127. - But the burden fell on my shoulders.
- Best I could do was make my own living.Copy !req
128. But you were the one
that abandoned Belle Reve, not I.Copy !req
129. I fought for it,
bled for it, almost died for it.Copy !req
130. Stop this outburst.
Tell me what happened.Copy !req
131. - I knew you'd take this attitude about it.
- About what? Please!Copy !req
132. The loss.Copy !req
133. Belle Reve? Lost, is it?Copy !req
134. Yes, Stella.Copy !req
135. But how did it go? What happened?Copy !req
136. - You're a fine one to ask me how it went.
- Blanche.Copy !req
137. You're a fine one to stand there
accusing me of it.Copy !req
138. - I won't stay in this house.
- Blanche!Copy !req
139. - Blanche.
- I... I... I took the blows...Copy !req
140. on my face and my body.Copy !req
141. All of those deaths,
the long parade to the graveyard.Copy !req
142. Father, Mother,
Margaret, that dreadful way...Copy !req
143. You just came home
in time for funerals, Stella.Copy !req
144. And funerals are pretty
compared to deaths.Copy !req
145. How do you think all that sickness
and dying was paid for?Copy !req
146. Death is expensive, Miss Stella.Copy !req
147. And I, with my pitiful salary
at the school...Copy !req
148. Yes, accuse me.Copy !req
149. Stand there and stare at me,
thinking I let the place go.Copy !req
150. I let the place go? Where were you?Copy !req
151. - In there with your Polack.
- Blanche, be still. That's enough.Copy !req
152. - Stella. Stella, you're crying?
- Does that surprise you?Copy !req
153. Mitch, we gonna play
at your house tomorrow?Copy !req
154. No, not at my house.
My mother's still sick.Copy !req
155. All right, you bring the beer.
Break it up down there.Copy !req
156. - I made that spaghetti and ate it myself.
- Now, honey, I told you...Copy !req
157. and told you
we were playing Jack's beer.Copy !req
158. What's so funny?
You never phoned me once.Copy !req
159. I told you at breakfast.
I phoned you at lunch.Copy !req
160. Why don't you get yourself in here!Copy !req
161. Do you want it
in the newspapers?Copy !req
162. I'm sick and tired of chasing you.Copy !req
163. You must be Stanley.Copy !req
164. I'm Blanche.Copy !req
165. Oh, you're Stella's sister.Copy !req
166. Yes.Copy !req
167. Oh, hiya.Copy !req
168. Yeah, where's the little woman?Copy !req
169. - In the bathroom.
- Oh.Copy !req
170. - Well, where you from, Blanche?
- Why, I...Copy !req
171. I live in Auriol.Copy !req
172. In Auriol. Auriol, huh?Copy !req
173. Oh, yeah, that's right. Auriol.
That's not my territory.Copy !req
174. Man, liquor goes fast
in the hot weather.Copy !req
175. - You want a shot?
- No, I rarely touch it.Copy !req
176. Well, there's some people that rarely
touch it, but it touches them often.Copy !req
177. Mind if I make myself
comfortable? My shirt is sticking...Copy !req
178. Please. Please do.Copy !req
179. "Be comfortable." That's my motto,
where I come from.Copy !req
180. It's mine too. It's hard to stay
looking fresh in hot weather.Copy !req
181. Why, I haven't washed
or even powdered...Copy !req
182. and here you are.Copy !req
183. You gotta be careful. You sitting around
in a damp thing, you catch a cold.Copy !req
184. Especially when you been
exercising hard, like bowling is.Copy !req
185. - Well, you're the teacher, aren't you?
- Yes.Copy !req
186. - What do you teach?
- English.Copy !req
187. Well, I never was
a very good English student.Copy !req
188. - How long you here for?
- Why, I don't know yet.Copy !req
189. You gonna shack up here?Copy !req
190. I thought I would,
if it's not inconvenient for you all.Copy !req
191. Good.Copy !req
192. Traveling wears me out.Copy !req
193. Well, take it easy.Copy !req
194. What was that?Copy !req
195. Oh, those cats.Copy !req
196. Hey, Stella.
What did you do, fall asleep in there?Copy !req
197. Huh?Copy !req
198. Well, I guess I'm gonna strike you
as being the unrefined type, huh?Copy !req
199. You know,
Stella spoke a good deal about you.Copy !req
200. She said you were married once,
weren't you?Copy !req
201. Yes.Copy !req
202. When I was quite young.Copy !req
203. Yeah? What happened?Copy !req
204. The boy...Copy !req
205. The boy died.Copy !req
206. I'm afraid I...Copy !req
207. I'm going to be sick.Copy !req
208. Fresh fish! Fresh fish! Fresh fish!Copy !req
209. Looks like she's staying a while.
- Yeah.Copy !req
210. - Hey, Stan, are we playing tonight?
- Yeah.Copy !req
211. Well, I figured maybe we...Copy !req
212. Forget about maybe. It's the same.
Stanley!Copy !req
213. Oh, hi, Steve.
Put it down.Copy !req
214. Now I'll go get the other one?
- Yes.Copy !req
215. Thanks, darling.
Stella?Copy !req
216. Yes?Copy !req
217. Is that Stanley back with my trunk?Copy !req
218. Yes, Blanche.
Honey...Copy !req
219. will you get my blue net out for me?
- All right, Blanche.Copy !req
220. It was so good of Stanley
to call for my trunk.Copy !req
221. He was glad to do it.Copy !req
222. I'll see you later.
- All right. Listen, don't forget.Copy !req
223. Honey, I'm taking Blanche
to Galatoire's for supper tonight...Copy !req
224. and then to a show
because it's your poker night.Copy !req
225. How about my supper?
I'm not going to Galatoire's tonight.Copy !req
226. I put you a cold plate on ice.Copy !req
227. I'm gonna try to keep Blanche
out until the party breaks up.Copy !req
228. - I don't know how she'll take it.
- Isn't that just dandy?Copy !req
229. So you'd better give me some money.Copy !req
230. Hey, where is she now?Copy !req
231. She's soaking in a hot tub
to quiet her nerves.Copy !req
232. She's terribly upset.Copy !req
233. Over what?Copy !req
234. She's been through such an ordeal.
We lost Belle Reve.Copy !req
235. - What, the place in the country?
- Uh-huh.Copy !req
236. - Well, how?
- It had to be sacrificed or something.Copy !req
237. Honey, look. When she comes in, say
something nice about her appearance.Copy !req
238. And, oh, don't mention the baby.Copy !req
239. I haven't said anything yet. I'm waiting
until she gets in a quieter condition.Copy !req
240. - Try to understand her and be nice to her.
- All right.Copy !req
241. She wasn't expecting
to find us in such a place.Copy !req
242. - All right.
- I tried to gloss things over a little...Copy !req
243. in my letters.Copy !req
244. Admire her dress.
Tell her she's looking wonderful.Copy !req
245. It's important to Blanche.
Her little weakness.Copy !req
246. Okay, honey, I get the idea, but...Copy !req
247. Now, let's just skip back a little, the way
you said the place was disposed of.Copy !req
248. Oh, yeah.Copy !req
249. Well, how about
a few more details on that subject?Copy !req
250. Honey, look, it's best not to talk much
about it until she's calmed down.Copy !req
251. Is that gonna be the deal? Sister Blanche
can't be annoyed with details right now?Copy !req
252. Well, you saw how she was last night.Copy !req
253. I saw how she was. Now, let's
cop a gander at the bill of sale.Copy !req
254. I haven't seen any.Copy !req
255. What do you mean? She didn't show you
papers, deed of sale, nothing like that?Copy !req
256. Seemed like it wasn't sold.Copy !req
257. Well, now, what was it, then?
Giveaway to charity?Copy !req
258. - Shh. She'll hear you.
- I don't care if she hears me.Copy !req
259. - Now, let's see the papers.
- Honey, there weren't any papers.Copy !req
260. She didn't show any papers.
I don't care about papers.Copy !req
261. Wait. Now, listen, did you ever hear
of the Napoleonic Code, Stella?Copy !req
262. - I haven't heard of the Napoleonic Code.
- All right. Okay, then.Copy !req
263. - Let me enlighten you on a point or two.
- Yes?Copy !req
264. We got here in the state of Louisiana
what's known as the Napoleonic Code.Copy !req
265. According to which, what belongs to
the wife belongs to the husband also...Copy !req
266. and vice versa.Copy !req
267. Will you listen.Copy !req
268. Take, for instance, I had
that piece of property...Copy !req
269. My head is swimming.Copy !req
270. Oh, well, all right, dear.Copy !req
271. Okay.Copy !req
272. We'll wait till she's through
soaking in the hot tub...Copy !req
273. then I'm gonna inquire if she's
acquainted with the Napoleonic Code.Copy !req
274. Oh, Stanley, don't be so silly.Copy !req
275. It looks to me like you been swindled.
And when you get swindled...Copy !req
276. under Napoleonic Code, I get swindled
too. I don't like to get swindled.Copy !req
277. Oh, Stanley...Copy !req
278. you've no idea how ridiculous
you're being...Copy !req
279. when you suggest that my sister...Copy !req
280. or I or anyone else of our family could
have perpetrated a swindle on anyone.Copy !req
281. Oh, come on, now. Where's the money
if the place was sold?Copy !req
282. Not sold. Lost!Copy !req
283. - Lost.
- Come here.Copy !req
284. - Stanley. Ow!
- Will you open your eyes to this stuff?Copy !req
285. - What, she got this out of teacher's pay?
- Oh, hush.Copy !req
286. Look at these fine feathers and furs
that she comes to preen herself in here?Copy !req
287. What is this article?
That's a solid-gold dress, I believe.Copy !req
288. - Oh, honest.
- This one here. What is that, a fox piece?Copy !req
289. - Stanley!
- A genuine fur fox a half a mile long.Copy !req
290. Where are your fox pieces?Copy !req
291. This is bushy snow-white ones, no less.
Where are your white fox furs?Copy !req
292. Those are inexpensive summer furs
that Blanche has had a long time.Copy !req
293. I have an acquaintance who deals
in this sort of merchandise.Copy !req
294. - He's coming to make an appraisal.
- Don't be such an idiot, Stanley.Copy !req
295. Listen, I'm gonna bet you there's
a thousand dollars invested in this stuff.Copy !req
296. Well, now, what is that?
That's the treasure chest of a pirate?Copy !req
297. - Oh, Stanley. Would you...?
- That's pearls, Stella. Ropes of them.Copy !req
298. What is this sister of yours,
a deep-sea diver?Copy !req
299. Bracelets, solid gold. Where are
your pearls and gold bracelets?Copy !req
300. Be still, Stanley.Copy !req
301. And here. Diamonds.
A crown for an empress.Copy !req
302. A rhinestone tiara
she wore to a costume ball.Copy !req
303. - What is rhinestone?
- Next door to glass.Copy !req
304. Yeah.Copy !req
305. I have an acquaintance who works in
a jewelry store and he's coming...Copy !req
306. to make an appraisal of that stuff.Copy !req
307. - Here's your plantation fella, right here.
- You know I... Stupid and horrid.Copy !req
308. You stay away from these things
before she comes out of the bathroom.Copy !req
309. The Kowalskis and the DuBois
got a different notion on this.Copy !req
310. Indeed they have, thank heavens.
I'm going outside.Copy !req
311. Go ahead.Copy !req
312. You come on out with me
while Blanche is getting dressed.Copy !req
313. Now, since when
are you giving me orders?Copy !req
314. Are you gonna stay here
and insult her?Copy !req
315. You bet your life I'm gonna stay here.Copy !req
316. Hello, Stanley.Copy !req
317. Here I am, all freshly bathed and scented
and feeling like a brand-new human being.Copy !req
318. Oh, that's good.Copy !req
319. Will you excuse me
while I put on my pretty new dress?Copy !req
320. Go ahead.Copy !req
321. Thank you.Copy !req
322. I understand there's to be
a little card party here tonight...Copy !req
323. to which we ladies
are cordially not invited.Copy !req
324. That's right.Copy !req
325. Where...? Where is Stella?Copy !req
326. She's out there on the porch.Copy !req
327. I'm going to ask a favor of you
in a moment.Copy !req
328. Well, now, what's that gonna be,
I wonder.Copy !req
329. Some buttons in back.Copy !req
330. You may enter.Copy !req
331. How do I look?Copy !req
332. You look okay.Copy !req
333. Well, thanks. Now the button.Copy !req
334. Well, I can't do no more with them.Copy !req
335. You men with your big, clumsy fingers.Copy !req
336. - May I have a drag on your cig?
- Yeah, have one for yourself.Copy !req
337. Why, thank you. It...Copy !req
338. It looks like my trunk has exploded.Copy !req
339. Me and Stella was helping you unpack.Copy !req
340. You certainly did a fast
and thorough job of it.Copy !req
341. Well, certainly looks like you raided
some stylish shops in Paris, Blanche.Copy !req
342. Clothes are my passion.Copy !req
343. How much does it cost
for a string of furs like that?Copy !req
344. Why, these were a tribute
from an admirer of mine.Copy !req
345. He must have had a lot of admiration.Copy !req
346. In my youth I excited some admiration,
but look at me now.Copy !req
347. Would you think it possible that I
was once considered to be attractive?Copy !req
348. Your looks are okay.Copy !req
349. - I was fishing for a compliment.
- I don't go for that stuff.Copy !req
350. - What stuff?
- Compliments to women about looks.Copy !req
351. I never met a dame didn't know she was
good-looking or not without being told.Copy !req
352. And some of them give themselves
credit for more than they've got.Copy !req
353. I once went out with a dame
who told me, "I'm the glamorous type."Copy !req
354. She says, "I am the glamorous type."
I says, "So what?"Copy !req
355. - And what did she say then?
- She didn't say nothing.Copy !req
356. - That shut her up like a clam.
- Did it end the romance?Copy !req
357. Well, it ended the conversation,
that was all.Copy !req
358. There's some men that are took in
by this Hollywood glamour stuff...Copy !req
359. and there's some men that aren't.
- You belong in the second category.Copy !req
360. - That's right.
- I can't imagine any witch of a woman...Copy !req
361. casting a spell over you.
- That's right.Copy !req
362. You're simple,
straightforward and honest.Copy !req
363. A little bit on the primitive side,
I should think.Copy !req
364. - To interest you a woman would have to...
- To lay her cards on the table.Copy !req
365. Well, I never did care
for wishy-washy people.Copy !req
366. That was why when you walked
in last night, I said to myself:Copy !req
367. "My sister has married a man."
Of course.Copy !req
368. - That was all I could tell...
- How about cutting the rebop!Copy !req
369. Stanley!Copy !req
370. Come on outside with me
and let Blanche finish dressing.Copy !req
371. - I'm finished dressing.
- Then come on out.Copy !req
372. - Your sister and I are having a talk.
- Honey...Copy !req
373. run to the drugstore and get me
a lemon Coke with chipped ice.Copy !req
374. Will you do that for me,
sweetie, please? Please.Copy !req
375. All right.Copy !req
376. Poor thing was out there listening to us.Copy !req
377. And I have an idea she doesn't
understand you as well as I do.Copy !req
378. All right now, Mr. Kowalski, let us
proceed without any more digression.Copy !req
379. I'm ready to answer all questions.
I have nothing to hide.Copy !req
380. What is it?Copy !req
381. In the state of Louisiana we got here
what's known as the Napoleonic Code.Copy !req
382. Which says, what belongs to the wife
belongs to the husband and vice versa.Copy !req
383. My, but you have
an impressive judicial air.Copy !req
384. If I didn't know that you was my wife's
sister, I would get ideas about you.Copy !req
385. - Such as what?
- Don't play so dumb. You know what.Copy !req
386. All right. Cards on the table.Copy !req
387. I know I fib a good deal. After all,
a woman's charm is 50 percent illusion.Copy !req
388. But when a thing is important
I tell the truth.Copy !req
389. And this is the truth:Copy !req
390. I never cheated my sister, or you, or
anyone else on earth as long as I lived.Copy !req
391. - Where are the papers, in your trunk?
- Everything I own is in that trunk.Copy !req
392. What are you thinking of? What's in the
back of that little boy's mind of yours?Copy !req
393. Let me do that.
It'll be faster and simple.Copy !req
394. - I keep my papers mostly in this tin box.
- What are those underneath?Copy !req
395. Those are love letters...Copy !req
396. yellowing with antiquity...Copy !req
397. all from one boy. Give those back.
- I'm just gonna have a look.Copy !req
398. - The touch of your hands insults them.
- Now, don't pull that stuff.Copy !req
399. Now that you've touched them,
I'll burn them.Copy !req
400. What are they?Copy !req
401. Poems the dead boy wrote.Copy !req
402. I hurt him the way that you would
like to hurt me. But you can't.Copy !req
403. I'm not young and vulnerable anymore,
but my young husband was, and I...Copy !req
404. Never mind about that.Copy !req
405. Just give them back to me.Copy !req
406. Thank you.Copy !req
407. What'd you mean by saying
you have to burn them up?Copy !req
408. I'm sorry.Copy !req
409. I must have lost my head for a moment.Copy !req
410. Everyone has something they won't
let others touch because of their...Copy !req
411. Their intimate nature.Copy !req
412. Ambler and Ambler.Copy !req
413. Crabtree.Copy !req
414. - More Ambler and Ambler.
- What's Ambler and Ambler?Copy !req
415. A firm that made loans on the place.Copy !req
416. - It was lost on a mortgage.
- That must have been what happened.Copy !req
417. I don't want if, ands or buts.
What's the rest of the papers?Copy !req
418. There are thousands of papers
stretching back over hundreds of years...Copy !req
419. affecting Belle Reve...Copy !req
420. as piece by piece,
our improvident grandfathers...Copy !req
421. exchanged the land
for their epic debauches...Copy !req
422. to put it mildly.Copy !req
423. Until finally, all that was left...
And Stella can verify that.Copy !req
424. Was the house itself.Copy !req
425. And about 20 acres of ground,
including a graveyard...Copy !req
426. to which now all but Stella
and I have retreated.Copy !req
427. Here they are, all of them.
All papers.Copy !req
428. I endow you with them. Take them,
peruse them, commit them to memory.Copy !req
429. I think it's wonderfully fitting
that Belle Reve...Copy !req
430. should finally be this bunch of old
papers in your big, capable hands.Copy !req
431. I wonder if Stella's
come back with my lemon Coke.Copy !req
432. I got a lawyer acquaintance,
we'll study this out.Copy !req
433. Present them to him
with a box of aspirin tablets.Copy !req
434. Under the Napoleonic Code a man has got
to take an interest in his wife's affairs.Copy !req
435. And I mean especially now
that she's gonna have a baby.Copy !req
436. Stella?Copy !req
437. Stella, going to have a baby?Copy !req
438. I didn't know
she was going to have a baby.Copy !req
439. Stella.Copy !req
440. Oh, Stella for star,
how lovely to have a baby.Copy !req
441. Honey, everything's all right.Copy !req
442. We thrashed it out.Copy !req
443. I feel a bit shaky,
but I think I handled it nicely.Copy !req
444. I laughed and treated it all as a joke.Copy !req
445. I laughed and called him a little boy
and flirted. Here.Copy !req
446. I was flirting with your husband, Stella.Copy !req
447. The guests are gathering
for the poker party.Copy !req
448. Hi, Stella.
Hi, Steve.Copy !req
449. I'm sorry he did that to you.Copy !req
450. Why, I guess he's just not the type
that goes for jasmine perfume.Copy !req
451. Maybe he's what we need to mix with
our blood now we've lost Belle Reve...Copy !req
452. and have to go on
without Belle Reve to protect us.Copy !req
453. Oh, how pretty the sky is.Copy !req
454. I ought to go there on a rocket...Copy !req
455. that never comes down.Copy !req
456. Which way do we go now, Stella?Copy !req
457. This way?Copy !req
458. No, hon, this way.Copy !req
459. The blind are leading the blind.Copy !req
460. Red hots!Copy !req
461. Are you going upstairs
and tell her to cut that out?Copy !req
462. If I go up, I won't come down.
Let's just forget it.Copy !req
463. Remember that night she poured boiling
water through them cracks in the floor?Copy !req
464. I gotta go home pretty soon.Copy !req
465. - Come on, what do you say?
- No, I'm out.Copy !req
466. Every time you win a big pot,
you're out like stout.Copy !req
467. I got a sick mother
and she don't go to sleep...Copy !req
468. until I get in.
- What do you say?Copy !req
469. I'm gonna wash up.Copy !req
470. - Stella?
- Yes, Eunice?Copy !req
471. You tell them guys
the kettle's on the stove.Copy !req
472. I'm gonna break up the game.Copy !req
473. - What did she mean by that?
- She'll pour it straight through the cracks.Copy !req
474. Stella, wait. Wait till I powder.Copy !req
475. I feel so hot and frazzled.Copy !req
476. - Do I look done in?
- You look as fresh as a daisy.Copy !req
477. One that's been picked a few days.Copy !req
478. Why don't someone go to the Chinaman's
and bring back a load of chop suey?Copy !req
479. - I'm losing and you want to eat.
- Well, I see you boys are still at it.Copy !req
480. - Where you been?
- Blanche and I took in a show.Copy !req
481. Blanche, honey, this is Mr. Gonzalez
and Mr. Hubbell.Copy !req
482. How do you do?
Please don't get up.Copy !req
483. Nobody's getting up here,
so don't get worried.Copy !req
484. - Poker is so fascinating. Could I kibitz?
- You could not.Copy !req
485. Why don't you women
go on up to Eunice's?Copy !req
486. How long's
this game going to continue?Copy !req
487. Till we get ready to quit.Copy !req
488. You should call it quits
after one more hand.Copy !req
489. Go up to Eunice's.
Hey, that's my coat.Copy !req
490. That's not fun, Stanley.Copy !req
491. It makes me so mad
when he does that in front of people.Copy !req
492. - I think I'll go bathe.
- Again?Copy !req
493. My nerves are in knots.
Is the bathroom occupied?Copy !req
494. I don't know.Copy !req
495. - Oh, good evening.
- Oh, hello.Copy !req
496. Blanche, this is Harold Mitchell.Copy !req
497. - This is my sister, Blanche DuBois.
- How do you do.Copy !req
498. - How do you do, Miss DuBois.
- How's your mother now, Mitch?Copy !req
499. Oh, she's about the same, thanks.Copy !req
500. She appreciated your
sending over that custard.Copy !req
501. Oh, excuse me, please.Copy !req
502. Excuse me.Copy !req
503. That one seems superior to the others.
Does he?Copy !req
504. - I thought he had a sort of sensitive look.
- His mother's sick.Copy !req
505. - Is he married?
- No.Copy !req
506. - Is he a wolf?
- Why, Blanche.Copy !req
507. - Well, no, I don't think he would be.
- What does he do?Copy !req
508. He's on the Precision Bench
in the Spare Parts Department.Copy !req
509. The plant that Stanley travels for.Copy !req
510. - Is that something much?
- No.Copy !req
511. Stanley's the only one in his crowd
likely to get any work.Copy !req
512. Hey, Blanche,
you're standing in the light.Copy !req
513. Am I? Gracious.Copy !req
514. You ought to see their wives.Copy !req
515. Oh, I can imagine.
Big, beefy things, I suppose.Copy !req
516. - Do you know that one upstairs?
- Oh, yes.Copy !req
517. Well, one night...Copy !req
518. And the plaster...!Copy !req
519. Hey, you hens!Copy !req
520. - Cut out that cackling in there.
- You can't hear us.Copy !req
521. Well, you can hear me,
and I told you to hush up.Copy !req
522. Stella.Copy !req
523. Look, this is my house
and I'll talk as much as I want to.Copy !req
524. - Stella, don't start a row.
- Oh, he's half-drunk.Copy !req
525. I'll be out in a minute.Copy !req
526. What do you say, Mitch?Copy !req
527. Come on, Mitch, are you in?
Huh?Copy !req
528. No, I'm out.Copy !req
529. Who turned that on in there?Copy !req
530. - I did. Do you mind?
- Well, turn it off!Copy !req
531. Come on, will you?
Let the girls have their music?Copy !req
532. Stanley!Copy !req
533. There you are.
I didn't hear you name it!Copy !req
534. Didn't I name it?
I wasn't listening.Copy !req
535. What were you doing?Copy !req
536. Looking through the drapes.Copy !req
537. I wasn't.
We're gonna play.Copy !req
538. We're gonna deal this hand again,
play cards or quit.Copy !req
539. Deal me out.Copy !req
540. All right, this game's gonna be
Spit in the Ocean.Copy !req
541. Yes?Copy !req
542. Oh, hello.Copy !req
543. Excuse me.Copy !req
544. The little boy's room
is occupied right now.Copy !req
545. Oh, excuse me.Copy !req
546. - Have you got any cigs?
- Oh, sure.Copy !req
547. Oh, what a... What a pretty case.Copy !req
548. - Silver?
- Yes.Copy !req
549. Yes, read the inscription.Copy !req
550. Oh, there is an inscription.Copy !req
551. Why, I can't make it out.Copy !req
552. "And if God choose...Copy !req
553. I shall but love thee better
after death."Copy !req
554. Why, that's from my
favorite sonnet by Mrs. Browning.Copy !req
555. - Why, you know it.
- Certainly, I do.Copy !req
556. Well, there's a story connected
with this inscription.Copy !req
557. It sounds like a romance.Copy !req
558. No, no, it's a pretty sad one.
The girl's dead now.Copy !req
559. She knew she was dying when she give
me this. A very strange girl, very sweet.Copy !req
560. - Very...
- She must have been very fond of you.Copy !req
561. Sick people have such
deep, sincere attachments.Copy !req
562. - That's right. They certainly do.
- Sorrow makes for sincerity, I think.Copy !req
563. It sure brings it out in people.Copy !req
564. The little there is belongs to people
who have known some sorrow.Copy !req
565. - I believe you're right about that.
- Oh, I'm positive I am.Copy !req
566. - Hey, Mitch!
- Deal me out. I'm talking to Miss...?Copy !req
567. DuBois.Copy !req
568. It's a French name.Copy !req
569. It means "woods,"
and Blanche means "white"...Copy !req
570. so the two together mean
"white woods"...Copy !req
571. like an orchard in spring.Copy !req
572. You can remember it by that...Copy !req
573. if you care to.Copy !req
574. You are Stella's sister, are you not?Copy !req
575. Yes. Stella is my precious little sister.Copy !req
576. I call her little in spite of the fact
that she's somewhat older than I am.Copy !req
577. Oh, just slightly. Less than a year.
Will you do something for me?Copy !req
578. Sure. Yes, what?Copy !req
579. I bought this adorable little paper lantern
at a Chinese shop on Bourbon.Copy !req
580. Put it over the light bulb.
Will you, please?Copy !req
581. I'd be glad to.Copy !req
582. I can't stand a naked light bulb
any more than I can a rude remark...Copy !req
583. or a vulgar action.Copy !req
584. Well, I guess we strike you as being
a pretty rough bunch.Copy !req
585. Oh, I'm very adaptable to circumstances.Copy !req
586. Well, that's a good way to be.Copy !req
587. - You're not...?
- Married?Copy !req
588. Oh, no.
No, I'm an old maid schoolteacher.Copy !req
589. You may be a schoolteacher,
but you're certainly not an old maid.Copy !req
590. Why, thank you, sir.Copy !req
591. I appreciate your gallantry.Copy !req
592. So you're in the teaching profession.Copy !req
593. Yes.Copy !req
594. - Yes.
- Grade school or high school...?Copy !req
595. Hey, Mitch!
- Coming!Copy !req
596. Gracious, what lung power.Copy !req
597. I teach high school in Auriol.Copy !req
598. Well, what do you teach?
What subject?Copy !req
599. - You guess.
- Well, I bet you teach art or music.Copy !req
600. - Ha, ha, ha.
- Well, of course, I could be wrong.Copy !req
601. You might teach arithmetic.Copy !req
602. Never arithmetic, sir.
Never arithmetic.Copy !req
603. I don't know
my multiplication tables. Nope.Copy !req
604. I have the misfortune
of being an English instructor.Copy !req
605. I attempt to instill
a bunch of bobbysoxers...Copy !req
606. and drugstore Romeos
with a reverence for Hawthorne...Copy !req
607. and Whitman and Poe.Copy !req
608. Well, I bet some of them
are more interested in other things.Copy !req
609. How very right you are.Copy !req
610. Their literary heritage is not
what they treasure above all else.Copy !req
611. But they're sweet things...Copy !req
612. and in the spring it's touching to see
them making their first discovery of love...Copy !req
613. as if nobody had ever known it before.Copy !req
614. - Sorry. Oh, excuse me, excuse me.
- Have you finished?Copy !req
615. - Oh, yes. Yes, I have.
- Wait, wait. I'll turn on the radio.Copy !req
616. Turn on the light above now.Copy !req
617. Oh, look.Copy !req
618. We've made enchantment.Copy !req
619. - Three bullets, mustache.
- Straight! I gotcha!Copy !req
620. Stanley! Stanley!
What are you doing with the radio?Copy !req
621. Drunk! Drunk animal thing!Copy !req
622. Get out!
Hey!Copy !req
623. Go on, get out!
- Hey!Copy !req
624. Let go of her!Copy !req
625. My sister is gonna have a baby!Copy !req
626. You come on up to my place, honey.Copy !req
627. Sister, did he hurt you, darling?Copy !req
628. Poker should not be played
in a house with women.Copy !req
629. All right, take it easy, will you?
Look out.Copy !req
630. Get him in that shower.Copy !req
631. Look out.
Get him in that shower, I said!Copy !req
632. Come on, all right.
Get his feet, will you? Get his feet!Copy !req
633. Grab his feet, come on, take it easy.Copy !req
634. Come on, boy. Get under there.Copy !req
635. Come on.Copy !req
636. Get under there. There you go.Copy !req
637. How do you feel, Stan?Copy !req
638. Stanley, wake up!
Hey, Stanley!Copy !req
639. We ought to get his clothes off and...Copy !req
640. Hey! What do you think...!Copy !req
641. Poker should not be played
in a house with women!Copy !req
642. Aw, come on!Copy !req
643. Hey! Where's Steve? Come on.Copy !req
644. Wait. Come here. Take it easy.Copy !req
645. Stella.Copy !req
646. Honey?Copy !req
647. Hey, Stella?Copy !req
648. Honey, where are you?Copy !req
649. Stella?Copy !req
650. Hey, baby...Copy !req
651. Look, you can sleep over here, Stella.
Blanche can have Steve's place.Copy !req
652. He ain't coming home tonight
if he knows what's good for him.Copy !req
653. Is my baby up there? I want her...Copy !req
654. Look, she ain't coming down
and she ain't gonna talk to you neither...Copy !req
655. so you might just as well
not call her!Copy !req
656. Hey, Stella!Copy !req
657. You quit that howling down there
and go to bed!Copy !req
658. Eunice, I want my girl down here!Copy !req
659. You shut up!Copy !req
660. You're gonna get the law on you.
Stella!Copy !req
661. You can't beat on a woman
and then call her back.Copy !req
662. You're gonna have a baby.Copy !req
663. I hope they haul you in, turn a fire hose
on you like the last time!Copy !req
664. I want my girl down here!
You stinker!Copy !req
665. Hey, Stella!Copy !req
666. I wouldn't mix in this.Copy !req
667. Don't ever leave me, baby.Copy !req
668. Blanche, come back!Copy !req
669. Miss DuBois?Copy !req
670. Miss DuBois?Copy !req
671. All quiet along the Potomac now?Copy !req
672. She ran down here
and went back in there with him.Copy !req
673. - Sure she did.
- I'm terrified.Copy !req
674. Nothing to be scared of.
They're crazy about each other.Copy !req
675. It's a shame this had to happen
when you got here.Copy !req
676. - Violence is so...
- Sit down on the steps...Copy !req
677. and have a cigarette with me.
- Why...Copy !req
678. I'm not properly dressed.Copy !req
679. Well, that don't make no difference
in the Quarter.Copy !req
680. Such a pretty silver case.Copy !req
681. I showed you the inscription, didn't I?Copy !req
682. Yes.Copy !req
683. So much...Copy !req
684. So much confusion in the world.Copy !req
685. Thank you for being so kind.Copy !req
686. I need kindness now.Copy !req
687. Bananas!Copy !req
688. Bananas!Copy !req
689. Stella?Copy !req
690. Stella. Oh, my baby.
My baby sister.Copy !req
691. Why, angel,
what's the matter with you?Copy !req
692. - He left?
- Stan? Mm-hm.Copy !req
693. Will he be back?Copy !req
694. - He's gone to get the car greased, why?
- Why?Copy !req
695. I've been half-crazy, Stella. How could
you come back to this place last night?Copy !req
696. Please, Blanche. He was as good
as a lamb when I came back.Copy !req
697. - He's really very ashamed of himself.
- And that...Copy !req
698. - That makes it all right?
- No.Copy !req
699. Stanley's always smashed things.Copy !req
700. On our wedding night,
as soon as we came in here...Copy !req
701. he snatched off one of my slippers...Copy !req
702. and rushed about the place smashing
the light bulbs with it.Copy !req
703. He did what?Copy !req
704. He smashed all the light bulbs
with the heel of my slipper.Copy !req
705. And you let him?
Didn't run, didn't scream?Copy !req
706. I was sort of thrilled by it.Copy !req
707. Eunice and you had breakfast?Copy !req
708. Oh, do you suppose
I wanted any breakfast?Copy !req
709. You're so matter-of-fact
about it all, Stella.Copy !req
710. What other can I be?Copy !req
711. He's taken the radio to get it fixed.Copy !req
712. It didn't land on the pavement,
so only one tube was smashed.Copy !req
713. And you standing there smiling.Copy !req
714. What do you want me to do?Copy !req
715. Pull yourself together. Face the facts.Copy !req
716. What are they in your opinion?Copy !req
717. In my opinion,
you're married to a madman.Copy !req
718. I've got a plan for us both,
to get us both out of here.Copy !req
719. I wish you'd stop taking it for granted
I'm in something I wanna get out of.Copy !req
720. I take it you have sufficient
memory of Belle Reve to find this place...Copy !req
721. and these poker players impossible
to live with.Copy !req
722. - You take too much for granted.
- I can't believe you're in earnest.Copy !req
723. - No?
- I understand what happened a little.Copy !req
724. You saw him first in uniform,
an officer, not here.Copy !req
725. I'm not sure it makes
any difference where I saw him.Copy !req
726. What you're talking about is desire,
just brutal desire.Copy !req
727. The name of that rattletrap streetcar
that bangs through the Quarter.Copy !req
728. Up one old, narrow street
and down another.Copy !req
729. Haven't you ever ridden
on that streetcar?Copy !req
730. It brought me here.Copy !req
731. Where I'm not wanted...Copy !req
732. and where I'm ashamed to be.Copy !req
733. Don't you think your superior attitude's
a little out of place?Copy !req
734. A man like that...
I told you I love him.Copy !req
735. I tremble for you, I just tremble.Copy !req
736. - Hi, Stanley.
- Hi.Copy !req
737. May I speak plainly?Copy !req
738. Yes, do. Go ahead, as plainly
as you want to.Copy !req
739. Well, if you'll forgive me...Copy !req
740. he's common.Copy !req
741. Yes, I suppose he is.Copy !req
742. Suppose?Copy !req
743. Surely you can't have forgotten
that much of our upbringing, Stella...Copy !req
744. that you just suppose there's
any part of a gentleman in his nature.Copy !req
745. Oh, you're hating me saying this,
aren't you?Copy !req
746. Go on and say it all, Blanche.Copy !req
747. He's like an animal.Copy !req
748. Has an animal's habits.Copy !req
749. There's even something
subhuman about him.Copy !req
750. Thousands of years have passed him
right by and there he is...Copy !req
751. Stanley Kowalski,
survivor of the Stone Age.Copy !req
752. Bearing the raw meat home
from the kill in the jungle. And you...Copy !req
753. you here waiting for him.Copy !req
754. Maybe he'll strike you
or maybe grunt and kiss you.Copy !req
755. That's if kisses have been discovered
yet. His "poker night," you call it.Copy !req
756. His party of apes?Copy !req
757. Maybe we are a long way
from being made in God's image.Copy !req
758. But, Stella, my sister...Copy !req
759. there's been some progress
since then.Copy !req
760. Such things as art, as poetry,
as music.Copy !req
761. In some kinds of people...Copy !req
762. some tenderer feelings have had
some little beginning...Copy !req
763. that we have got to make grow
and to cling to...Copy !req
764. as our flag in this dark march
toward whatever it is we're approaching.Copy !req
765. Don't, don't hang back
with the brutes.Copy !req
766. Hey, Stell?Copy !req
767. Hey, Stell?Copy !req
768. Hiya.
Hi.Copy !req
769. Hey, is Blanche back yet?Copy !req
770. Yeah, she's back.Copy !req
771. Oh, hi there, Blanche.Copy !req
772. You look like you got under the car.Copy !req
773. That mechanic down at Fritz's doesn't
know his axle grease from third base.Copy !req
774. Don't throw
that thing at me! Eunice!Copy !req
775. You brick redhead,
I'll play with you!Copy !req
776. You wanna play with me,
I'll play games with you!Copy !req
777. That's just what I gave your
brother, you big redhead!Copy !req
778. He hit me!
And I'm gonna call the police!Copy !req
779. Some of your sister's friends
have stayed in the city.Copy !req
780. - Did Eunice get the police?
- No, she's getting a drink...Copy !req
781. at the Four Deuces.
- That's much more practical.Copy !req
782. Blanche is making us
some new slipcovers, honey.Copy !req
783. Hey, is she here?Copy !req
784. She went to the Four Deuces.Copy !req
785. That no-good, rotten...Copy !req
786. Hey, Stella, I can't find
my other pair of shoes.Copy !req
787. We cleaned in there.Copy !req
788. I'll get them.Copy !req
789. I can't find nothing
around this dump anymore.Copy !req
790. Oh, Stanley.Copy !req
791. What sign were you born under?Copy !req
792. - What sign?
- Astrological sign.Copy !req
793. I bet you were born under Aries.Copy !req
794. Aries people are forceful, dynamic,
they dote on noise.Copy !req
795. They love to bang things around.Copy !req
796. Stanley was born just five minutes
after Christmas.Copy !req
797. Capricorn, the goat!Copy !req
798. Say...Copy !req
799. do you happen to know
somebody named Shaw?Copy !req
800. Why... Why, everybody knows
someone by the name of Shaw.Copy !req
801. This somebody named Shaw is under
the impression that he met you in Auriol.Copy !req
802. I figure he must have got you
mixed up with some other party...Copy !req
803. because this other party
is somebody...Copy !req
804. that he met at a hotel
called the Flamingo.Copy !req
805. Why, I guess he does have me
mixed up with this other party.Copy !req
806. The Hotel Flamingo is not a place
that I would dare to be seen in.Copy !req
807. Oh, you know it then?Copy !req
808. I've seen it and smelled it.Copy !req
809. You must've got pretty close
if you could smell it.Copy !req
810. The odor of cheap perfume
is penetrating.Copy !req
811. Is that stuff you use expensive?Copy !req
812. Twelve dollars an ounce. I'm nearly out.Copy !req
813. That's just a hint if you want to
remember my birthday.Copy !req
814. I figure that he must have
got you mixed up...Copy !req
815. but he goes in and out
of Auriol all the time...Copy !req
816. so he can check and clear up
any mistake.Copy !req
817. - I'll see you at the Four Deuces.
- Hey, don't I rate a kiss?Copy !req
818. No, not in front of your sister.Copy !req
819. Don't cry. I only do that with other girls
because I love you, baby.Copy !req
820. Don't cry.Copy !req
821. Stella.Copy !req
822. You still scared of thunder?Copy !req
823. What have you heard about me?Copy !req
824. Huh?Copy !req
825. What have people been
telling you about me?Copy !req
826. - Telling?
- You haven't heard...Copy !req
827. any unkind gossip about me?Copy !req
828. Why, no, Blanche. Of course not.Copy !req
829. Honey, there was
quite a lot of talk in Auriol.Copy !req
830. People talk, who cares?Copy !req
831. I haven't been so awfully good
the last year or so, since...Copy !req
832. Since Belle Reve started to slip
through my fingers.Copy !req
833. Honey, all of us do things...Copy !req
834. I never was hard
or self-sufficient enough.Copy !req
835. Soft people...Copy !req
836. Soft people have got to
court the favor of hard ones, Stella.Copy !req
837. You've got to shimmer and glow.Copy !req
838. I don't know how much longer
I can turn the trick.Copy !req
839. It isn't enough to be soft.Copy !req
840. You've got to be soft and attractive.Copy !req
841. And I...Copy !req
842. I'm fading now.Copy !req
843. Have you been listening to me?Copy !req
844. I never listen to you
when you're being morbid.Copy !req
845. Is that Coke for me?Copy !req
846. - Not for anyone else.
- You precious lamb. Is it just a Coke?Copy !req
847. - You mean you want a shot in it?
- A shot never did a Coke any harm.Copy !req
848. Oh, let me.Copy !req
849. You mustn't wait on me.Copy !req
850. I like to wait on you, Blanche.
It makes it seem more like home.Copy !req
851. I have to admit, I...Copy !req
852. I love to be waited on.Copy !req
853. Blanche.Copy !req
854. Blanche, honey, what is it?Copy !req
855. Oh, you're so good to me, and I...Copy !req
856. - Now, Blanche.
- I know you hate me to talk sentimental...Copy !req
857. but believe me, honey,
I feel more than I tell you.Copy !req
858. I won't stay long, I won't.
I promise.Copy !req
859. - Now, Blanche.
- I'll go. I'll go soon.Copy !req
860. I won't hang around
till he throws me out.Copy !req
861. - Now, will you stop talking foolish?
- Yes.Copy !req
862. Only watch how you pour it!Copy !req
863. Heavens.Copy !req
864. Right on my...Copy !req
865. pretty...Copy !req
866. pink skirt.
- Here. Use my hankie.Copy !req
867. - Blot gently.
- I know.Copy !req
868. Gently...Copy !req
869. gently...Copy !req
870. gently.Copy !req
871. Did it stain?Copy !req
872. No.Copy !req
873. No, not a bit.Copy !req
874. Isn't that lucky?Copy !req
875. Why did you scream like that?Copy !req
876. I don't know why I screamed.Copy !req
877. Mitch...Copy !req
878. Mitch is coming at 7.Copy !req
879. I guess I'm a little nervous
about our relations.Copy !req
880. He hasn't gotten anything more than a
good-night kiss. That's all I've given him.Copy !req
881. I want his respect. And men don't want
anything they get too easy.Copy !req
882. On the other hand, men lose interest
quickly, especially when a girl is over...Copy !req
883. Over 30.Copy !req
884. When I mentioned marriage
they even forgot where I lived, so...Copy !req
885. So, you see, I haven't informed him
of my real age.Copy !req
886. Honey, why are you so sensitive
about your age?Copy !req
887. Because of hard knocks
my vanity has been given.Copy !req
888. What I mean is, he thinks I'm sort of...Copy !req
889. prim and proper, you know.Copy !req
890. I want to deceive him...Copy !req
891. just enough to make him want me.Copy !req
892. Darling...Copy !req
893. do you want him?Copy !req
894. I want to rest.Copy !req
895. I want to breathe quietly again.Copy !req
896. Yes, I want Mitch.Copy !req
897. Very badly.Copy !req
898. Just think, if it happens...Copy !req
899. I can go away from here
and not be anyone's problem.Copy !req
900. Blanche, it will happen.Copy !req
901. It will?Copy !req
902. It will, honey, it will.Copy !req
903. Only, don't take another drink.Copy !req
904. Hey, Steve! Eunice!Copy !req
905. Stell!Copy !req
906. Oh, get away! Get away!Copy !req
907. Put me down!
Oh, you...!Copy !req
908. Hiya, honey!
Let go!Copy !req
909. Oh, me.Copy !req
910. Come in.Copy !req
911. Evening, ma'am.
- Oh.Copy !req
912. Well, well.Copy !req
913. - What can I do for you?
- Well, I'm collecting for the Evening Star.Copy !req
914. I didn't know that stars
took up collections.Copy !req
915. No, it's a paper, ma'am.Copy !req
916. I know.Copy !req
917. I was joking. Feebly.Copy !req
918. Will you...? Will you have a drink?Copy !req
919. No, ma'am.Copy !req
920. No, thank you.
I can't drink on the job.Copy !req
921. Well, now, let me see.Copy !req
922. No, no. I don't have a dime.Copy !req
923. I'm not the lady of the house.
I'm her sister from Mississippi.Copy !req
924. I'm one of those poor relations
you've heard tell about.Copy !req
925. Oh, that's all right, ma'am.
I'll come back later.Copy !req
926. Have you...?Copy !req
927. - Have you got a light?
- Sure.Copy !req
928. - This doesn't always work.
- It's temperamental.Copy !req
929. Why, thanks.Copy !req
930. Thank you.Copy !req
931. What?Copy !req
932. What time is it?Copy !req
933. Fifteen of 7.Copy !req
934. So late?Copy !req
935. Don't you love these long,
rainy afternoons in New Orleans...Copy !req
936. when an hour isn't just an hour...Copy !req
937. but a little piece of eternity
dropped in our hands...Copy !req
938. and who knows what to do with it?Copy !req
939. You...Copy !req
940. You didn't get caught in the rain?Copy !req
941. No, ma'am. I stepped inside.Copy !req
942. - In a drugstore and had a soda.
- Mm-hm.Copy !req
943. - Chocolate?
- No, ma'am. Cherry.Copy !req
944. - Cherry. Heh, heh.
- Cherry.Copy !req
945. Mmm. You make my mouth water.Copy !req
946. I guess I...Copy !req
947. Young man.Copy !req
948. Young...Copy !req
949. young...Copy !req
950. young man.Copy !req
951. Did anyone ever tell you, you look like a
young prince out of the Arabian Nights?Copy !req
952. You do, honey lamb.Copy !req
953. Come here.Copy !req
954. Come on over here, like I told you.Copy !req
955. I want to kiss you just once...Copy !req
956. softly...Copy !req
957. and sweetly on your mouth.Copy !req
958. Run away now, quickly.Copy !req
959. It'd be nice to keep you,
but I've got to be good...Copy !req
960. and keep my hands off children.Copy !req
961. Adiós.Copy !req
962. Why, look who's here.Copy !req
963. My Rosenkavalier.Copy !req
964. Oh, bow to me first.Copy !req
965. Now, présentez. Ha, ha.Copy !req
966. Hiya, Mitch.Copy !req
967. I'm afraid you haven't had much
fun out of this evening, Blanche.Copy !req
968. - I spoiled it for you.
- No, you didn't.Copy !req
969. I simply couldn't rise
to the occasion, that was all.Copy !req
970. I don't think I've ever tried so hard to be
gay and made such a dismal mess of it.Copy !req
971. I get ten points for trying.
I did try.Copy !req
972. Hello, moon.Copy !req
973. I'm looking for the Pleiades...Copy !req
974. the Seven Sisters...Copy !req
975. but these girls aren't out tonight.Copy !req
976. Oh, yes, they are.Copy !req
977. There they are, God bless them.Copy !req
978. All in a bunch, going home
from their little bridge party.Copy !req
979. May I kiss you?Copy !req
980. Why do you always ask me if you may?Copy !req
981. - I don't know if you want me to or not.
- Why should you be so doubtful?Copy !req
982. We parked by the lake,
and I kissed you...Copy !req
983. Honey, it wasn't the kiss I
objected to. I liked the kiss very much.Copy !req
984. It was the other little familiarity
that I felt obliged to discourage.Copy !req
985. Not that I resented it,
not a bit in the world.Copy !req
986. In fact, I was somewhat flattered
that you desired me.Copy !req
987. But you know as well as I do that
a single girl, a girl alone in the world...Copy !req
988. has got to keep a firm hold
on her emotions...Copy !req
989. or she'll be lost.
- Lost?Copy !req
990. I guess you're used to
the type of girl that likes to be lost.Copy !req
991. I like you to be exactly
the way that you are...Copy !req
992. because in all my experience,
I have never known anyone like you.Copy !req
993. Are you laughing at me?Copy !req
994. No.Copy !req
995. No, honey.Copy !req
996. I'm not laughing at you.Copy !req
997. Well, come on,
let's finish our nightcap.Copy !req
998. You've been so anxious and solemn
all evening.Copy !req
999. We've both been anxious and solemn.Copy !req
1000. And now for these last few remaining
moments of our lives together...Copy !req
1001. I want to create joie de vivre.Copy !req
1002. I'm lighting this candle.Copy !req
1003. That's good.Copy !req
1004. We're going to be very bohemian.Copy !req
1005. We are gonna pretend we're sitting in an
artists' cafe on the Left Bank in Paris.Copy !req
1006. - Understand French?
- No, no, I don't understand French.Copy !req
1007. Oh. Well, why don't you sit down.
Take off your coat. Loosen your collar.Copy !req
1008. - No, I better leave it on.
- No. I want you to be comfortable.Copy !req
1009. No, I'm ashamed of the way I perspire.
My shirt is sticking to me.Copy !req
1010. Perspiration is healthy. If people didn't
perspire, they would die in five minutes.Copy !req
1011. Oh, this is a nice coat.
What...?Copy !req
1012. - What material is it?
- They call this stuff alpaca.Copy !req
1013. - Oh, alpaca.
- It's very lightweight alpaca.Copy !req
1014. - Oh, lightweight alpaca.
- Yes.Copy !req
1015. I don't like to wear a watch coat even in
the summer because I sweat through it.Copy !req
1016. And it don't look neat on me.Copy !req
1017. A man with a heavy build is careful of
what he wears so he don't look clumsy.Copy !req
1018. - Why, you're not too heavy.
- You don't think I am?Copy !req
1019. You're not the delicate type.Copy !req
1020. You have a massive bone structure
and a very imposing physique.Copy !req
1021. I thank you.Copy !req
1022. At Christmas, I was given a membership
to the New Orleans Sports Club.Copy !req
1023. - Oh, good.
- It's the finest present I was ever given.Copy !req
1024. I work out there with the weights
and I swim. I keep myself fit.Copy !req
1025. When I started there I was soft
in the belly, but now my belly is hard.Copy !req
1026. It's so hard now a man can punch me
in the belly and it don't hurt me.Copy !req
1027. Punch me.
Go ahead. Go on. Punch.Copy !req
1028. Come on.Copy !req
1029. - Gracious.
- Heh, heh. See?Copy !req
1030. Blanche.Copy !req
1031. Guess how much I weigh?Copy !req
1032. - I'd say in the vicinity of 180 pounds.
- No, guess again.Copy !req
1033. - Not so much?
- No, more.Copy !req
1034. - Well?
- I weigh 207 pounds.Copy !req
1035. I'm 6'1 " and one-half inches tall
in my bare feet...Copy !req
1036. without shoes on,
and that's what I weigh stripped.Copy !req
1037. Oh, my goodness, it's awe-inspiring.Copy !req
1038. Well, my weight's not a very
interesting subject to talk about.Copy !req
1039. What's yours?Copy !req
1040. - My weight?
- Yes.Copy !req
1041. - You guess.
- Let me lift you.Copy !req
1042. Samson. Go on, lift me.Copy !req
1043. - Why, you're light as a feather.
- You may release me now.Copy !req
1044. - Huh?
- I said unhand me, sir.Copy !req
1045. Mitch, Mitch, we're in public.
You must behave like a gentleman.Copy !req
1046. Just give me a slap
whenever I step out of bounds.Copy !req
1047. It won't be necessary. You're a natural
gentleman. One of the few left.Copy !req
1048. I don't want you to think that I'm
severe or old-maid schoolteacherish...Copy !req
1049. or anything. It's just, well, I...Copy !req
1050. I guess I have old-fashioned ideals.Copy !req
1051. Where's Stanley and Stella tonight?Copy !req
1052. I think they were planning
to take in a midnight preview.Copy !req
1053. We all ought to go out together
some night.Copy !req
1054. That wouldn't be a good plan.Copy !req
1055. Why not?Copy !req
1056. You are an old friend of Stanley's?Copy !req
1057. We was together in the 241 st.Copy !req
1058. - I guess he talks to you pretty frankly.
- Sure.Copy !req
1059. Has he talked to you about me?Copy !req
1060. - No, not much.
- The way you say that...Copy !req
1061. I suspect that he has.
- He hasn't said much.Copy !req
1062. Well, what he has said, what would
you say his attitude toward me was?Copy !req
1063. - What makes you ask that?
- Well...Copy !req
1064. Don't you get along with him?Copy !req
1065. What do you think?Copy !req
1066. I think he don't understand you.Copy !req
1067. That's putting it mildly. Surely he must
have told you how much he hates me.Copy !req
1068. I don't think he hates you.Copy !req
1069. He hates me,
or why would he insult me?Copy !req
1070. Of course...Copy !req
1071. there is such a thing as
the hostility of...Copy !req
1072. Perhaps in some strange
kind of way, he...Copy !req
1073. Oh, no.Copy !req
1074. To think of it makes me...Copy !req
1075. - Blanche.
- Yes, honey?Copy !req
1076. - Blanche, can I ask you a question?
- Yes, what?Copy !req
1077. How old are you?Copy !req
1078. What do you want to know that for?Copy !req
1079. I talked to my mother about you
and she said, "How old is Blanche?"Copy !req
1080. - You talked to your mother about me?
- Yes.Copy !req
1081. Why?Copy !req
1082. Because I told her how nice
you were, and I liked you.Copy !req
1083. Were you sincere about that?Copy !req
1084. You know I was.Copy !req
1085. Why did your mother
want to know my age?Copy !req
1086. - My mother is sick, and...
- Oh, I'm sorry to hear it. Badly?Copy !req
1087. She won't live long...Copy !req
1088. maybe just a few months,
and she worries because I'm not settled.Copy !req
1089. She wants to see me
settled down before she...Copy !req
1090. You love her very much, don't you?Copy !req
1091. You'll be lonely when she passes on,
won't you?Copy !req
1092. I know what that means.Copy !req
1093. To be Ionely?Copy !req
1094. I loved someone once.Copy !req
1095. And the person I loved, I lost.Copy !req
1096. Dead?Copy !req
1097. He was a boy.Copy !req
1098. Just a boy,
when I was a very young girl.Copy !req
1099. When I was 16, I made the discovery:Copy !req
1100. Love.Copy !req
1101. All at once, and much...Copy !req
1102. much too completely.Copy !req
1103. It was like you suddenly turned
a blinding light...Copy !req
1104. on something that had
always been half in shadow.Copy !req
1105. That's how it struck the world for me.Copy !req
1106. But I was unlucky.Copy !req
1107. Deluded.Copy !req
1108. There was something about the boy.Copy !req
1109. A nervousness, a tenderness...Copy !req
1110. an uncertainty.Copy !req
1111. And I didn't understand.Copy !req
1112. I didn't understand why this boy,
who wrote poetry...Copy !req
1113. didn't seem able to do anything else.Copy !req
1114. He lost every job.Copy !req
1115. He came to me for help.Copy !req
1116. I didn't know that.Copy !req
1117. I didn't know anything...Copy !req
1118. except that I loved him...Copy !req
1119. unendurably.Copy !req
1120. At night I pretended to sleep.Copy !req
1121. I heard him crying.Copy !req
1122. Crying.Copy !req
1123. Crying the way a lost child cries.Copy !req
1124. I don't understand.Copy !req
1125. No.Copy !req
1126. No, neither did I.Copy !req
1127. And that's why I...Copy !req
1128. I killed him.Copy !req
1129. You...?Copy !req
1130. One night...Copy !req
1131. we drove out to a place
called Moon Lake Casino.Copy !req
1132. We danced the Varsouviana.Copy !req
1133. Suddenly, in the middle of the dance,
the boy I married broke away from me...Copy !req
1134. and ran out of the casino.Copy !req
1135. A few minutes later...Copy !req
1136. a shot.Copy !req
1137. I ran.Copy !req
1138. All did.Copy !req
1139. All ran and gathered about
the terrible thing at the edge of the lake.Copy !req
1140. He'd stuck a revolver into his mouth...Copy !req
1141. and fired.Copy !req
1142. It was because...Copy !req
1143. on the dance floor...Copy !req
1144. unable to stop myself, I'd said:Copy !req
1145. "You're weak.Copy !req
1146. I've lost respect for you.Copy !req
1147. I despise you."Copy !req
1148. And then...Copy !req
1149. the searchlight
which had been turned on the world...Copy !req
1150. was turned off again.Copy !req
1151. And never...Copy !req
1152. for one moment since,
has there been any light stronger than...Copy !req
1153. Than this...Copy !req
1154. yellow lantern.Copy !req
1155. You need somebody.Copy !req
1156. And I need somebody too.Copy !req
1157. Could it be you and me, Blanche?Copy !req
1158. Sometimes...Copy !req
1159. there's God...Copy !req
1160. so quickly.Copy !req
1161. You wanna mess with me,
sonny boy, come on!Copy !req
1162. All right, turn him loose!Copy !req
1163. You're gonna kill who? You don't even
know when you're getting wised up.Copy !req
1164. You don't have to wise me up!Copy !req
1165. Come on, here. Come on,
get to work here. We gotta get going.Copy !req
1166. We got some bucks
to make around here.Copy !req
1167. Go ahead and marry her,
but hurry it up.Copy !req
1168. She's been in my house
five months and her time is up.Copy !req
1169. It's only a paper moonCopy !req
1170. Sailing over a cardboard seaCopy !req
1171. But it wouldn't be make-believeCopy !req
1172. If you believed in meCopy !req
1173. It's a Barnum and Bailey worldCopy !req
1174. Just as phony as it...Copy !req
1175. Oh, hello, Stanley.Copy !req
1176. But it wouldn't be make-believeCopy !req
1177. If you believed in meCopy !req
1178. Some canary bird.Copy !req
1179. All right.Copy !req
1180. Please tell me quietly just what you think
you found out about my sister.Copy !req
1181. You know your sister Blanche
is no lily, don't you?Copy !req
1182. What have you heard,
and who from?Copy !req
1183. You should know the line
that she's been feeding to Mitch.Copy !req
1184. Our supply man at the plant's
been going through Auriol for years.Copy !req
1185. He knows all about her.Copy !req
1186. And everybody else in the town
of Auriol knows all about her.Copy !req
1187. She's as famous in Auriol as if she was
the president of the United States...Copy !req
1188. only she's not respected by any party.Copy !req
1189. Without your loveCopy !req
1190. It's a honky-tonk paradeCopy !req
1191. So she moved to a hotel
called the Flamingo...Copy !req
1192. which is a second-class hotel...Copy !req
1193. and has the advantages...Copy !req
1194. of not interfering with the private
and social life of the personalities there.Copy !req
1195. Now, the Flamingo is used to
all kinds of goings on.Copy !req
1196. But the management of the Flamingo
was impressed by Dame Blanche.Copy !req
1197. In fact, they were so impressed
that they requested her...Copy !req
1198. to turn in her room key
for permanently.Copy !req
1199. And this happened a couple of weeks
before she showed here.Copy !req
1200. Honey, I know how
this is gonna upset you.Copy !req
1201. But listen, she pulled the wool
over your eyes just as much as Mitch's.Copy !req
1202. Pure invention.
Not a word of truth in it.Copy !req
1203. Baby, listen. I checked on every story.Copy !req
1204. The trouble was she couldn't
put on her act anymore in Auriol...Copy !req
1205. because they wised up.Copy !req
1206. And after two, three days they quit,
then she goes on to another one.Copy !req
1207. The same old line, the same old act
and the same old hooey.Copy !req
1208. And as time went by,
she became the town character...Copy !req
1209. regarded not just as different,
but downright loco and nuts...Copy !req
1210. which brings us to lie number two...Copy !req
1211. Stella.Copy !req
1212. Baby, now...Copy !req
1213. She didn't resign temporarily because
of her nerves. She was kicked out...Copy !req
1214. before the spring term ended.Copy !req
1215. And, now, I hate to tell you the reason
that step was taken.Copy !req
1216. A 17-year-old kid
she got mixed up with.Copy !req
1217. The boy's dad learned about it...Copy !req
1218. and he got in touch
with the high school superintendent.Copy !req
1219. And it was practically a town ordinance
passed against her.Copy !req
1220. Stella.
- Yes, Blanche?Copy !req
1221. Can I have another bath towel
to dry my hair with? I just washed it.Copy !req
1222. Yes, honey.Copy !req
1223. - What's the matter, honey?
- Matter, what?Copy !req
1224. You have such a strange
expression on your face.Copy !req
1225. - I guess I'm a little tired, is...
- Well...Copy !req
1226. why don't you take a hot bath
as soon as I get out?Copy !req
1227. How soon is that gonna be, Blanche?Copy !req
1228. Not so terribly long,
possess your soul in patience.Copy !req
1229. It's not my soul I'm worried about.Copy !req
1230. Well?Copy !req
1231. How many candles
you sticking in the cake?Copy !req
1232. I stopped at 25.Copy !req
1233. You got company expected?Copy !req
1234. We asked Mitch to come over.Copy !req
1235. Well, don't expect Mitch
over here tonight.Copy !req
1236. Why?Copy !req
1237. Mitch is a buddy of mine.
We was together in the 241 st Engineers.Copy !req
1238. We work in the same plant,
we're on the same bowling team.Copy !req
1239. Stanley Kowalski, did you repeat
what that...?Copy !req
1240. You bet I told him.
I would have that on my conscience...Copy !req
1241. if I knew all that
and let my best friend get caught.Copy !req
1242. - Is Mitch through with her?
- I don't know...Copy !req
1243. but he's wised up.
- Mitch was gonna marry her.Copy !req
1244. He's not gonna marry her now.Copy !req
1245. He's not gonna jump into a tank
with a school of sharks.Copy !req
1246. - What'll she do? What will she do?
- Oh, her future is mapped out for her.Copy !req
1247. What do you mean?Copy !req
1248. Hey, toots! Canary bird,
will you get out of the bathroom!Copy !req
1249. Oh, I feel so good
after a long, hot bath.Copy !req
1250. I feel so good and cool and rested.Copy !req
1251. - Do you, Blanche?
- Yes, I do. So refreshed.Copy !req
1252. Why, a hot bath
and a long, cold drink...Copy !req
1253. always gives me
a brand-new outlook on life.Copy !req
1254. What's the matter?Copy !req
1255. What's happened.Copy !req
1256. - What is it?
- Nothing's happened, Blanche.Copy !req
1257. You're lying.Copy !req
1258. Something has.Copy !req
1259. Stanley?Copy !req
1260. Stanley, tell us a joke.Copy !req
1261. Tell us a funny little story
to make us all laugh.Copy !req
1262. I don't know what's the matter,
we're all so solemn.Copy !req
1263. Is it because I've been
stood up by my beau?Copy !req
1264. First time in my experience with men...
And I've had a good deal of all sorts.Copy !req
1265. That I've been stood up by anyone.
Ha, ha.Copy !req
1266. I don't know how to take it.Copy !req
1267. Tell us a funny little story, Stanley.Copy !req
1268. Something to help us out.Copy !req
1269. I didn't think you liked
my stories, Blanche.Copy !req
1270. I like them when they're amusing,
but not indecent.Copy !req
1271. I don't know any refined enough
for your taste.Copy !req
1272. Well, then. Let me tell one.Copy !req
1273. Yes, tell one, Blanche.
You used to know a lot of good stories.Copy !req
1274. Now, let me see. I have to run
through my repertoire.Copy !req
1275. Oh, yes, I love parrot stories.Copy !req
1276. You all like parrot stories? This is about
the old maid and the parrot.Copy !req
1277. This old maid, she had a parrot
that cursed a blue streak...Copy !req
1278. and knew more vulgar expressions
than Mr. Kowalski.Copy !req
1279. Well, the only way to hush the parrot up
was to put the cover...Copy !req
1280. Must be upstairs.Copy !req
1281. Well, the only way
to hush the parrot up was to put...Copy !req
1282. Go on, Blanche.Copy !req
1283. No.Copy !req
1284. I don't think
Mr. Kowalski will be amused.Copy !req
1285. Mr. Kowalski is too busy making
a pig of himself to think of anything else.Copy !req
1286. Your face and your fingers
are disgustingly greasy.Copy !req
1287. Go wash up
and then help me clear the table.Copy !req
1288. Now, that's how
I'm gonna clear the table.Copy !req
1289. Don't you ever talk that way to me.Copy !req
1290. Pig, Polack, disgusting, vulgar, greasy.Copy !req
1291. Those words have been on your tongue
and your sister's tongue...Copy !req
1292. just too much around here.Copy !req
1293. Who do you think you are,
a pair of queens?Copy !req
1294. Remember Huey Long said: Every man's
a king, and I'm the king around here.Copy !req
1295. And don't you forget it.Copy !req
1296. My place is all cleared up now.
You want me to clear yours?Copy !req
1297. Stella...Copy !req
1298. what happened while I was bathing?Copy !req
1299. - What did he tell you?
- Nothing. Nothing, nothing, Blanche.Copy !req
1300. - I think he told you about Mitch and me.
- No.Copy !req
1301. You know why Mitch didn't come,
but you won't tell.Copy !req
1302. - No.
- I'm gonna call him.Copy !req
1303. - Don't call him!
- Yes, I am. I'll call him on the phone.Copy !req
1304. Blanche, I wouldn't call him.Copy !req
1305. Got to be given some explanation
from someone.Copy !req
1306. Well, I hope you're
pleased with your doings.Copy !req
1307. I never had so much trouble
swallowing food in my life...Copy !req
1308. looking at that girl's face
and that empty chair.Copy !req
1309. Hello? I want to talk
to Mr. Mitchell, please.Copy !req
1310. I'd like to leave a number, if I may.Copy !req
1311. Honey.
Tulane-4947.Copy !req
1312. And say it's important to call, please.Copy !req
1313. Honey, it's gonna be all right after
she goes and after you have the baby.Copy !req
1314. It's gonna be all right again
between you and me, the way it was.Copy !req
1315. Remember how it was?Copy !req
1316. It's gonna be so sweet when we can
get them colored lights going...Copy !req
1317. with nobody's sister
behind the curtains to hear us.Copy !req
1318. Steve and Eunice.Copy !req
1319. Come on back in.Copy !req
1320. Blanche?Copy !req
1321. Blanche.Copy !req
1322. Yes?
Oh, come on, hon.Copy !req
1323. Oh, what pretty, pretty candles.
Don't burn them, Stella.Copy !req
1324. I certainly will.
- No.Copy !req
1325. You ought to save them
for baby's birthdays.Copy !req
1326. Oh, I hope candles are gonna
glow in his life.Copy !req
1327. I hope his eyes are gonna be
like candles...Copy !req
1328. like two blue candles...Copy !req
1329. Lining a white cake.Copy !req
1330. What poetry.Copy !req
1331. I shouldn't have called him.Copy !req
1332. Blanche. You know, it's hot in there
with the steam from that bathroom!Copy !req
1333. I said I was sorry three times!Copy !req
1334. I take hot baths for my nerves.Copy !req
1335. Hydrotherapy, they call it.Copy !req
1336. You healthy Polack,
without a nerve in your body.Copy !req
1337. How can you possibly know
what anxiety feels like?Copy !req
1338. I am not a Polack!Copy !req
1339. People from Poland are Poles,
they are not Polacks!Copy !req
1340. But what I am
is 100 percent American!Copy !req
1341. I'm born and raised in the greatest
country on earth and I'm proud of it!Copy !req
1342. - And don't you ever call me a Polack!
- That's for me, I'm sure!Copy !req
1343. Just keep your seat.
I'm not so sure.Copy !req
1344. Hello.
Stanley?Copy !req
1345. - Yeah, Mac.
- Listen, Stanley...Copy !req
1346. Take your hands off me, Stella.
What's the matter with you?Copy !req
1347. Why do you give me that pitying look?
Will you shut up!Copy !req
1348. No, we got a noisy woman in the place.Copy !req
1349. I told you I don't want to bowl at Riley's.
I had a little trouble with Riley last week.Copy !req
1350. I'm the team captain, ain't I? All right.
Then we're not gonna bowl at Riley's.Copy !req
1351. We're gonna bowl at the West Side
or at the Gate, and I'll see you.Copy !req
1352. Sister Blanche...Copy !req
1353. I got a little birthday
remembrance for you.Copy !req
1354. I hope that you like it.Copy !req
1355. - Why, it's a...
- That's a bus ticket back to Auriol.Copy !req
1356. Tuesday.Copy !req
1357. Blanche.Copy !req
1358. You didn't need to do that.Copy !req
1359. Don't forget all that I took off of her.Copy !req
1360. You didn't need to be so cruel
to someone as alone as she is.Copy !req
1361. - A delicate article, she is.
- She is. She was.Copy !req
1362. You didn't know Blanche as a girl.Copy !req
1363. Nobody, nobody was as tender
and as trusting as she was.Copy !req
1364. But people like you abused her
and forced her to change.Copy !req
1365. - Do you think you're going bowling now?
- That's right.Copy !req
1366. You're not going bowling.
Why did you do this to her?Copy !req
1367. Let go of me.Copy !req
1368. I want to know why!Copy !req
1369. Hey, cool it!Copy !req
1370. Listen, baby, when we first met,
you and me, you thought I was common.Copy !req
1371. Well, how right you was.
I was common as dirt.Copy !req
1372. You showed me a snapshot
of a place with columns...Copy !req
1373. and I pulled you down off them
columns and you loved it.Copy !req
1374. Having them colored lights going.Copy !req
1375. And wasn't we happy together?
Wasn't it all okay till she showed here?Copy !req
1376. Huh? Wasn't we happy together?
Wasn't it all okay till she showed here?Copy !req
1377. Hoity-toity, describing me like a ape.Copy !req
1378. Stella?Copy !req
1379. What's the matter with you?Copy !req
1380. Honey, what's the matter with you?Copy !req
1381. Honey, did I hurt you?Copy !req
1382. Baby, what is it?Copy !req
1383. Take me to the hospital.Copy !req
1384. Who is it, please?Copy !req
1385. It's me. Me, Mitch.Copy !req
1386. Mitch.Copy !req
1387. Just a minute, please.Copy !req
1388. Coming. Coming.Copy !req
1389. Hello, Mitch.Copy !req
1390. You know, I really shouldn't let you in
after the treatment I received from you.Copy !req
1391. So utterly uncavalier.
But, hello, beautiful.Copy !req
1392. Oh, my, my, what a cold shoulder.
And what uncouth apparel.Copy !req
1393. Why, you haven't even shaved.Copy !req
1394. But I forgive you,
because it's a relief to see you.Copy !req
1395. You stopped that polka tune
I had in my head.Copy !req
1396. Ever get anything caught in your head?Copy !req
1397. Of course not, you never get
anything awful caught in your head.Copy !req
1398. - We have to have that fan on?
- No.Copy !req
1399. - I don't like fans.
- Well, let's turn it off, honey.Copy !req
1400. I'm not partial to them.Copy !req
1401. I don't know what there is to drink,
I haven't investigated.Copy !req
1402. - I don't want Stan's liquor.
- It isn't Stan's!Copy !req
1403. Some things on the premises
are actually mine.Copy !req
1404. How's your mother?Copy !req
1405. - Is your mother well?
- Why?Copy !req
1406. Something the matter with you.
But never mind.Copy !req
1407. I won't cross-examine the witness, I'll just
pretend I didn't notice anything different.Copy !req
1408. It's that music again.Copy !req
1409. What music?Copy !req
1410. The polka tune they were playing
when Allan...Copy !req
1411. Wait.Copy !req
1412. There...Copy !req
1413. the shot.Copy !req
1414. It always stops after that.Copy !req
1415. Yes.Copy !req
1416. Now it's stopped.Copy !req
1417. Are you boxed out of your mind?Copy !req
1418. Oh, I'll go and see what I can
find in the way of...Copy !req
1419. By the way, forgive me not being
dressed. I'd practically given you up.Copy !req
1420. Had you forgotten your invitation?Copy !req
1421. I wasn't going
to see you anymore.Copy !req
1422. Wait, I can't hear what you're saying.Copy !req
1423. You talk so seldom,
when you do say anything...Copy !req
1424. I don't want to miss
a single syllable of it.Copy !req
1425. What am I looking for around here?
Oh, yes. The liquor.Copy !req
1426. We've had so much excitement,
I am boxed out of my mind.Copy !req
1427. Here's something.Copy !req
1428. "Southern Cheer."Copy !req
1429. What can that be, I wonder?Copy !req
1430. Take your foot off the bed.
It has a clean cover on it.Copy !req
1431. You boys wouldn't notice
a thing like that.Copy !req
1432. - I've done so much to this place since I...
- Aren't you leaving here pretty soon?Copy !req
1433. I wonder if this ought to be
mixed with something.Copy !req
1434. Mmm. It's sweet, terribly sweet.
Why, I believe it's a liqueur.Copy !req
1435. Heh, heh, heh. Yes, that's what it is,
a liqueur. I don't think you'll like it, but try it.Copy !req
1436. - Maybe you will.
- I told you before...Copy !req
1437. I don't want any of his liquor,
and I mean it.Copy !req
1438. He says you been lapping it up
all summer like a wildcat.Copy !req
1439. I won't descend to the level
of such a cheap accusation to answer...Copy !req
1440. What's in your mind?Copy !req
1441. - I see something in your eyes.
- It's dark in here.Copy !req
1442. I like the dark.
The dark is comforting to me.Copy !req
1443. I've never seen you in the light.
That's a fact.Copy !req
1444. I've never seen you in the afternoon.Copy !req
1445. I met you
at the plant in the afternoon.Copy !req
1446. Not on Sunday afternoon!Copy !req
1447. You never wanna go out till after 6, then
it's always someplace not lighted much.Copy !req
1448. Some obscure meaning
in this I fail to catch.Copy !req
1449. What it means is I've never had
a real good look at you.Copy !req
1450. - Let's turn the light on.
- Light? What for?Copy !req
1451. This one here with
this paper thing on it.Copy !req
1452. - What did you want to do that for?
- So I can see you, good and plain.Copy !req
1453. You don't really mean to be insulting.Copy !req
1454. No, just realistic.Copy !req
1455. - I don't want realism. I want magic.
- Magic.Copy !req
1456. Yes, yes, magic.Copy !req
1457. I try to give that to people. I do
misrepresent things, I don't tell truth.Copy !req
1458. I tell what ought to be truth and if that
is sinful, then let me be punished for it.Copy !req
1459. Don't turn the light on!Copy !req
1460. Oh, I don't mind you
being older than what I thought...Copy !req
1461. but all the rest of it.Copy !req
1462. Why, that pitch about
your ideals being so old-fashioned...Copy !req
1463. and all the malarkey that
you've been dishing out all summer.Copy !req
1464. I knew you weren't 16, but I was
fool enough to believe you was straight!Copy !req
1465. Who told you I wasn't straight?
My loving brother-in-law?Copy !req
1466. - And you believed him?
- No!Copy !req
1467. No, I called him a liar at first
and then I checked on the story.Copy !req
1468. I talked over long distance
to this merchant in Auriol.Copy !req
1469. - Who is this merchant?
- Kiefaber.Copy !req
1470. The merchant Kiefaber of Auriol.
I know the man. He whistled at me.Copy !req
1471. I put him in his place.
Now he makes up stories about me.Copy !req
1472. Didn't you stay at a hotel
called the Flamingo?Copy !req
1473. Flamingo? No!Copy !req
1474. Tarantula was the name of it.Copy !req
1475. - I stayed at a hotel called Tarantula Arms.
- Tarantula Arms?Copy !req
1476. Yes, a big spider. That's where
I brought my victims.Copy !req
1477. Yes.Copy !req
1478. I have had many meetings
with strangers.Copy !req
1479. After the death of Allan...Copy !req
1480. meetings with strangers was all I
seemed able to fill my empty heart with.Copy !req
1481. I think it was panic, just panic...Copy !req
1482. that drove me from one to another,
searching for some protection.Copy !req
1483. Here, there, and then
in the most unlikely places.Copy !req
1484. Even, at last, in a 17-year-old boy.
But somebody wrote the superintendent:Copy !req
1485. "This woman is morally unfit
for her position."Copy !req
1486. True?Copy !req
1487. Yes.Copy !req
1488. Unfit somehow, anyway.Copy !req
1489. So I came here.
There was nowhere else I could go.Copy !req
1490. I was played out.
You know what played out is?Copy !req
1491. My youth was gone up the waterspout.Copy !req
1492. Then I met you.Copy !req
1493. You said you needed someone.Copy !req
1494. Well, I needed someone too.Copy !req
1495. I thanked God for you.Copy !req
1496. You seemed gentle.Copy !req
1497. A cleft...Copy !req
1498. in the rock of the world
that I could hide in.Copy !req
1499. But I suppose I was asking...Copy !req
1500. hoping too much.Copy !req
1501. Kiefaber...Copy !req
1502. Harris and Shaw have tied an old tin
can to the tail of the kite.Copy !req
1503. I thought you were straight.Copy !req
1504. Straight?Copy !req
1505. What's straight?Copy !req
1506. A line can be straight, or a street...Copy !req
1507. but the heart of a human being?Copy !req
1508. - You lied to me, Blanche.
- Don't say I lied to you.Copy !req
1509. - Lies! Lies! Inside and out, all lies!
- Never inside.Copy !req
1510. I never lied in my heart!Copy !req
1511. What?Copy !req
1512. From outside.Copy !req
1513. Flowers.
Flowers for the dead.Copy !req
1514. No.Copy !req
1515. Not now.Copy !req
1516. I lived in a house where dying
old women remembered their dead men.Copy !req
1517. Crumble, then fade.Copy !req
1518. Regrets, recriminations.Copy !req
1519. "If you'd done this,
it wouldn't have cost me that."Copy !req
1520. Legacies...Copy !req
1521. and other things...Copy !req
1522. such as bloodstained pillowslips.Copy !req
1523. I used to sit here...Copy !req
1524. and she used to sit there.Copy !req
1525. And death was as close as you are.Copy !req
1526. Death.Copy !req
1527. The opposite is desire.Copy !req
1528. So how could you wonder?Copy !req
1529. How could you possibly wonder?Copy !req
1530. Not far from Belle Reve,
before we lost Belle Reve...Copy !req
1531. was a camp
where they trained young soldiers.Copy !req
1532. On Saturday nights,
they would go in town to get drunk.Copy !req
1533. And on the way back, they would
stagger onto my lawn and call:Copy !req
1534. "Blanche."Copy !req
1535. What do you want?Copy !req
1536. Marry me, Mitch.Copy !req
1537. No, I don't think
I want to marry you anymore.Copy !req
1538. No?Copy !req
1539. No. You're not clean enough
to bring in the house with my mom...Copy !req
1540. Go, then!Copy !req
1541. Get out of here.Copy !req
1542. Quick, before I start screaming.Copy !req
1543. Get out of here quick,
before I start screaming!Copy !req
1544. Screaming! Screaming!Copy !req
1545. Are you all right, lady?Copy !req
1546. What's the matter, lady?Copy !req
1547. She must be drunk.
Somebody better get a policeman.Copy !req
1548. There's a cop now.Copy !req
1549. What happened?
I don't know.Copy !req
1550. It's a police officer. Open up.Copy !req
1551. Open up in there.Copy !req
1552. It's a police officer, open up.Copy !req
1553. What's the matter? Are you hurt, lady?Copy !req
1554. Are you all right, lady?Copy !req
1555. Yes. Go away.Copy !req
1556. Go on.
Are you hurt?Copy !req
1557. Are you all right?
I'll be good.Copy !req
1558. It's all right. Let's break it up.Copy !req
1559. I'll be good.Copy !req
1560. I'll be good. I'll be good.Copy !req
1561. Oh, no, my gracious. What a thing.Copy !req
1562. How about taking a swim,
a moonlight swim at the old rock quarry?Copy !req
1563. That's if anyone's sober enough
to drive a car.Copy !req
1564. The best way in the world
to stop your head from buzzing.Copy !req
1565. Only you have to be careful to dive
where the deep pool is.Copy !req
1566. If you hit a rock, you won't come up
till tomorrow. Heh, heh.Copy !req
1567. My goodness. They're playing
"Goodnight, Ladies."Copy !req
1568. May I rest my weary head
on your shoulder?Copy !req
1569. It's so...Copy !req
1570. Hi, Blanche.Copy !req
1571. - How's my sister?
- She's doing okay.Copy !req
1572. How's the baby?Copy !req
1573. The baby won't come till tomorrow,
so they told me to get a little shuteye.Copy !req
1574. Does that mean...Copy !req
1575. we are to be alone in here?Copy !req
1576. Yeah, it's just you and me, Blanche.Copy !req
1577. Hey, what do you got
them fine feathers on for?Copy !req
1578. Oh. That's right.
You left before my wire came.Copy !req
1579. What, you got a wire?Copy !req
1580. I received a telegram
from an old admirer of mine.Copy !req
1581. - Anything good?
- I think so. An invitation.Copy !req
1582. What to?Copy !req
1583. A cruise of the Caribbean on a yacht.Copy !req
1584. Well, what do you know?Copy !req
1585. I was never so surprised in my life.
It came like a bolt from the blue.Copy !req
1586. Who'd you say it was from?Copy !req
1587. An old beau of mine.Copy !req
1588. Oh, the one that give you
the white fox fur pieces.Copy !req
1589. Shep Huntleigh.Copy !req
1590. I wore his ATO pin
my last year in college.Copy !req
1591. I hadn't seen him for a while,
then just now this wire...Copy !req
1592. inviting me on a cruise of the
Caribbean. The problem is clothes.Copy !req
1593. I tore into my trunk to see what I had
that was suitable for the tropics.Copy !req
1594. And you come up
with a gorgeous diamond tiara.Copy !req
1595. This old relic? It's only rhinestones.Copy !req
1596. Oh, I thought it was
Tiffany's diamonds.Copy !req
1597. Well, anyhow,
I shall be entertained in style.Copy !req
1598. Well, it just goes to show you,
Blanche, you never know what's coming.Copy !req
1599. When I thought my luck
was beginning to fail me.Copy !req
1600. Into the picture
pops this Miami millionaire.Copy !req
1601. This man is not from Miami.
This man is from Dallas.Copy !req
1602. Just so he's from somewhere.Copy !req
1603. Close the curtains
before you undress any further.Copy !req
1604. No, this is all
I'm gonna undress right now.Copy !req
1605. Hey, Blanche,
you seen the bottle opener?Copy !req
1606. I used to have a cousin who could open
a bottle of beer with his teeth.Copy !req
1607. And that was all he could do.
He was just a human bottle-opener.Copy !req
1608. Then one time at a wedding party,
he broke his front teeth right off.Copy !req
1609. And then after that,
he was so ashamed of himself...Copy !req
1610. that he used to sneak out of the house
when company came.Copy !req
1611. Rain from heaven.Copy !req
1612. What do you say, Blanche? You want to
bury the hatchet and make a loving cup?Copy !req
1613. No. No, thank you.Copy !req
1614. - Why don't you get with it?
- What are you doing in here?Copy !req
1615. Hey, wait a second.
I want to show you something.Copy !req
1616. Here's something I always break out
on special occasions:Copy !req
1617. Silk pajamas I wore
on my wedding night.Copy !req
1618. When they call on that phone
and say, "You got a son"...Copy !req
1619. I'm gonna rip them off
and wave them like a flag!Copy !req
1620. I guess we're both entitled
to put on a dog.Copy !req
1621. You're having an oil millionaire
and I'm having the baby.Copy !req
1622. When I think of how divine it'll be to
have such a thing as privacy once more...Copy !req
1623. I could weep with joy.Copy !req
1624. This millionaire isn't gonna interfere
with your privacy none?Copy !req
1625. It won't be the sort of thing
you have in mind.Copy !req
1626. This man is a gentleman.
He respects me.Copy !req
1627. What he wants is my companionship.Copy !req
1628. Having great wealth
sometimes makes people lonely.Copy !req
1629. A cultivated woman,
a woman of breeding and intelligence...Copy !req
1630. can enrich a man's life immeasurably.
I have those things to offer.Copy !req
1631. And time doesn't take them away.Copy !req
1632. Physical beauty is passing,
a transitory possession.Copy !req
1633. But beauty of the mind, richness
of the spirit, tenderness of the heart...Copy !req
1634. I have all those things... . Aren't taken
away, but grow, increase with the years.Copy !req
1635. Strange that I should be called
a destitute woman...Copy !req
1636. when I have all these treasures
locked in my heart.Copy !req
1637. I think of myself as a very,
very rich woman.Copy !req
1638. But I have been foolish,
casting my pearls before...Copy !req
1639. Swine, huh?Copy !req
1640. Yes. Swine.Copy !req
1641. And I'm thinking not only of you but
of Mr. Mitchell. He came here tonight.Copy !req
1642. He dared to come in his work clothes to
repeat slander, vicious stories from you.Copy !req
1643. I gave him his walking papers.Copy !req
1644. But then he returned. He returned with
a box of roses to beg my forgiveness.Copy !req
1645. He implored my forgiveness.Copy !req
1646. But some things are not forgivable.Copy !req
1647. Deliberate cruelty is not forgivable!Copy !req
1648. It is one unforgivable thing,
in my opinion...Copy !req
1649. and the one thing
of which I have never...Copy !req
1650. never been guilty.Copy !req
1651. So I said to him, "Thank you.Copy !req
1652. It was foolish of me to think that
we could adapt ourselves to each other.Copy !req
1653. Our ways of life are too different,
our backgrounds are incompatible.Copy !req
1654. So farewell, my friend,
and let there be no hard feelings."Copy !req
1655. Was this before or after
you got the telegram?Copy !req
1656. Telegram? What telegram?Copy !req
1657. - Heh. As a matter of fact, my wire...
- As a matter of fact...Copy !req
1658. there wasn't no wire at all.Copy !req
1659. And there isn't no millionaire.Copy !req
1660. And Mitch didn't come in here with
roses, because I know where he is.Copy !req
1661. And there isn't a thing but imagination
and lies and deceit and tricks.Copy !req
1662. And look at yourself.Copy !req
1663. Take a look at yourself here,
in a worn-out Mardi Gras outfit.Copy !req
1664. Rented for 50 cents from some
rag picker with a crazy crown on.Copy !req
1665. What kind of a queen
do you think you are?Copy !req
1666. You know that I've been on to you
from the start...Copy !req
1667. and not once did you pull the wool
over this boy's eyes.Copy !req
1668. You come here and sprinkle the place
with powder and you spray perfume...Copy !req
1669. and stick a paper lantern
over the light bulb.Copy !req
1670. And lo and behold,
place is turned into Egypt...Copy !req
1671. and you're the queen of the Nile,
sitting on your throne...Copy !req
1672. swilling down my liquor.
You know what I say?Copy !req
1673. Ha-ha!Copy !req
1674. You hear me?Copy !req
1675. Ha-ha-ha!Copy !req
1676. Flowers.Copy !req
1677. No.Copy !req
1678. Not now.Copy !req
1679. Operator.
- What happened to long distance?Copy !req
1680. Never mind long distance.
Get me Western Union.Copy !req
1681. Western Union? Hear me?
Take down this message:Copy !req
1682. "Desperate, desperate circumstances.Copy !req
1683. Caught in a trap. Help me.
Caught in a trap."Copy !req
1684. Hello? Operator.
I can give you Western Union now.Copy !req
1685. Western Union.Copy !req
1686. Hello? Western Union.Copy !req
1687. This is Western Union.Copy !req
1688. Hello.Copy !req
1689. You left the phone
off the hook, Blanche.Copy !req
1690. This is Western Union.Copy !req
1691. What?Copy !req
1692. Let me...Copy !req
1693. Let me get by you.Copy !req
1694. You wanna get by me? Go ahead.Copy !req
1695. Stand over there.Copy !req
1696. You got plenty of room
to get by me now.Copy !req
1697. I've got to get out. Somehow.Copy !req
1698. You think I'm gonna
interfere with you?Copy !req
1699. You know, maybe you won't be bad
to interfere with.Copy !req
1700. Stand back. Don't you come
toward me another step, or I'll...Copy !req
1701. - You'll what?
- Some awful thing will happen. It will!Copy !req
1702. What are you putting on now?Copy !req
1703. I warn you. Don't. I'm in danger!Copy !req
1704. What did you do that for?Copy !req
1705. So I could twist the broken end
in your face.Copy !req
1706. - I bet you would do that.
- I would. I will, if you...Copy !req
1707. You wanna have
a little roughhouse, huh?Copy !req
1708. All right, let's have a little roughhouse.Copy !req
1709. Tiger, tiger. Drop that bottle top.
Drop it!Copy !req
1710. Oh, inside straight, man!Copy !req
1711. Try it in English, mustache.Copy !req
1712. I'm cursing your rotten luck.
- You know what luck is?Copy !req
1713. Luck is believing you're lucky,
that's all.Copy !req
1714. Take at Salerno. I believed I was lucky.
I figured that four out of five...Copy !req
1715. wasn't gonna get through
but I would, and I did.Copy !req
1716. I stick that down as a rule: To hold
the front position in this rat race...Copy !req
1717. you gotta believe you're lucky.Copy !req
1718. - You... You... You brag... Brag bull!
- What's the matter with you?Copy !req
1719. I always said men was callous things
with no feeling, but this beats anything.Copy !req
1720. - Sitting there making pigs of yourselves.
- What's the matter with her?Copy !req
1721. Come on, deal.Copy !req
1722. Blanche?
Bathing.Copy !req
1723. How's my baby?Copy !req
1724. Sleeping like a little angel.
I brought you some grapes.Copy !req
1725. - How is she?
- She wouldn't eat anything.Copy !req
1726. I keep telling her we made arrangements
for her to rest in the country.Copy !req
1727. She's got it all mixed-up in her mind
about a cruise to the islands...Copy !req
1728. with Shep Huntleigh, an old beau...
Stella?Copy !req
1729. Yes?
- If anyone calls while I'm bathing...Copy !req
1730. take the number,
tell them I'll call right back.Copy !req
1731. - Yes, Blanche.
- Oh, and Stella.Copy !req
1732. The... The cool yellow silk, the bouclé,
see if it's crushed.Copy !req
1733. If it's not too crushed, I'll wear it.
And on the lapel...Copy !req
1734. that silver and turquoise pin
in the shape of a seahorse.Copy !req
1735. You'll find it in the heart-shaped box
I keep my accessories in.Copy !req
1736. Oh, and Stella, see if you can locate
a bunch of artificial...Copy !req
1737. violets in that box. I'll wear it with
the seahorse on the lapel of the jacket.Copy !req
1738. I just don't know
if I've done the right thing.Copy !req
1739. What else could you do?Copy !req
1740. I couldn't believe her story
and go on living with Stanley.Copy !req
1741. Don't you never believe it.
You gotta keep on going, baby.Copy !req
1742. No matter what happens,
we all gotta keep on going.Copy !req
1743. Stella?
- Yes, Blanche?Copy !req
1744. Is the coast clear?
Yes, honey.Copy !req
1745. Close the curtains before I come out.Copy !req
1746. Tell her how well she's looking.Copy !req
1747. They're closed, honey.Copy !req
1748. I just washed my hair.Copy !req
1749. - Oh, did you?
- I'm not sure I got all the soap out.Copy !req
1750. Such fine hair.
- That's the problem.Copy !req
1751. - Did I get a call?
- Who from?Copy !req
1752. - Shep Huntleigh.
- No, honey, not yet.Copy !req
1753. Strange.
Come on, Mitch.Copy !req
1754. Mitch?Copy !req
1755. What's happened here?Copy !req
1756. I want an explanation
of what's happened here!Copy !req
1757. Hush, please, Blanche.
Honey...Copy !req
1758. What are you two
looking at me like that for?Copy !req
1759. Is there something wrong with me?Copy !req
1760. You look wonderful, Blanche.
Don't she look wonderful?Copy !req
1761. - I understand you're going on a trip.
- Yes.Copy !req
1762. Yes. Blanche is.
She's going on a vacation.Copy !req
1763. I'm green with envy.Copy !req
1764. Help me, you two.
Help me get dressed.Copy !req
1765. Is this what you wanted?
Yes, that'll do.Copy !req
1766. I'm anxious to get out of this place.
This place is a trap.Copy !req
1767. - Such a pretty lavender jacket.
- It's lilac-colored.Copy !req
1768. You're, both of you, wrong.
It's Della Robbia blue.Copy !req
1769. Are these grapes washed?Copy !req
1770. - Washed, I said. Are they washed?
- From the French Market.Copy !req
1771. That doesn't mean to say
they've been washed.Copy !req
1772. The cathedral chimes.
They're the only...Copy !req
1773. clean thing in the Quarter.Copy !req
1774. - I'm going now. I'm ready to go.
- She'll walk out before they get here.Copy !req
1775. Wait, Blanche!Copy !req
1776. Must we pass in front of those men?Copy !req
1777. Why don't you wait here
till that game breaks up.Copy !req
1778. Yes, honey, sit down.Copy !req
1779. Tell them to wait outside.Copy !req
1780. Would you mind waiting outside just a
couple of seconds? They'll be right out.Copy !req
1781. Someone is calling for Blanche.Copy !req
1782. It is for me, then.Copy !req
1783. Is it the gentleman
I was expecting from Dallas?Copy !req
1784. Yes.Copy !req
1785. Yes, honey, I believe it is.Copy !req
1786. Why...Copy !req
1787. I'm not quite ready.Copy !req
1788. Ask them to wait outside.Copy !req
1789. Everything packed?Copy !req
1790. Stanley.Copy !req
1791. She'll be out in a minute.Copy !req
1792. They're waiting outside the house.
"They"?Copy !req
1793. Who's "they"?Copy !req
1794. There's a lady with him.Copy !req
1795. I can't imagine who this lady can be.Copy !req
1796. How is she dressed?Copy !req
1797. Just a plain tailored outfit.Copy !req
1798. Possibly she?Copy !req
1799. Shall we go now, Blanche?Copy !req
1800. - Must we go through that room?
- I'll go with you.Copy !req
1801. - How do I look?
- Lovely.Copy !req
1802. Lovely.Copy !req
1803. Please don't get up.
I'm only passing through.Copy !req
1804. You...Copy !req
1805. are not the gentleman...Copy !req
1806. I was expecting.Copy !req
1807. This man isn't Shep Huntleigh.Copy !req
1808. You forget something, Blanche?Copy !req
1809. Yes. Yes, I forgot something.Copy !req
1810. What are they gonna do to her?Copy !req
1811. Don't let them hurt her.Copy !req
1812. - What are they gonna do to her?
- Shh. Honey...Copy !req
1813. Hello, Blanche.Copy !req
1814. She says she forgot something.Copy !req
1815. That's all right.Copy !req
1816. Well, what did you forget, Blanche?Copy !req
1817. - It don't matter. We can pick it up later.
- We'll send it along with your trunk.Copy !req
1818. I don't know you.Copy !req
1819. - I want to be left alone, please!
- Now, Blanche...Copy !req
1820. Blanche, you left nothing here
but spilt talcum and old perfume bottles.Copy !req
1821. Unless it's the paper lantern you want to
take with you. You want the lantern?Copy !req
1822. You done this to her.Copy !req
1823. Come on, stop it.
Stop it, will you!Copy !req
1824. He did this to her, I know...Copy !req
1825. He must be nuts.Copy !req
1826. What are you looking at?Copy !req
1827. I never once touched her.Copy !req
1828. These fingernails have to be trimmed.
Jacket, doctor?Copy !req
1829. Not unless necessary.Copy !req
1830. Miss DuBois.Copy !req
1831. Please...Copy !req
1832. It won't be necessary.Copy !req
1833. Ask her...Copy !req
1834. to let go of me.Copy !req
1835. Yes. Let go.Copy !req
1836. Whoever you are...Copy !req
1837. I have always depended
on the kindness...Copy !req
1838. of strangers.Copy !req
1839. Blanche.
Come on, honey.Copy !req
1840. Don't you touch me.
Don't you ever touch me again.Copy !req
1841. Stella!Copy !req
1842. Come on, Stella.Copy !req
1843. No, I'm not. I'm not going back
in there again. Not this time.Copy !req
1844. Never going back. Never.Copy !req
1845. Hey, Stella!Copy !req
1846. Hey, Stella!Copy !req
