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. Oh.Copy !req
322. Thank you.Copy !req
323. I understand there's to be
a little card party here tonight...Copy !req
324. to which we ladies
are cordially not invited.Copy !req
325. That's right.Copy !req
326. Where...? Where is Stella?Copy !req
327. She's out there on the porch.Copy !req
328. I'm going to ask a favor of you
in a moment.Copy !req
329. Well, now, what's that gonna be,
I wonder.Copy !req
330. Some buttons in back.Copy !req
331. You may enter.Copy !req
332. How do I look?Copy !req
333. You look okay.Copy !req
334. Well, thanks. Now the button.Copy !req
335. Well, I can't do no more with them.Copy !req
336. You men with your big, clumsy fingers.Copy !req
337. - May I have a drag on your cig?
- Yeah, have one for yourself.Copy !req
338. Why, thank you. It...Copy !req
339. It looks like my trunk has exploded.Copy !req
340. Me and Stella was helping you unpack.Copy !req
341. You certainly did a fast
and thorough job of it.Copy !req
342. Well, certainly looks like you raided
some stylish shops in Paris, Blanche.Copy !req
343. Clothes are my passion.Copy !req
344. How much does it cost
for a string of furs like that?Copy !req
345. Why, these were a tribute
from an admirer of mine.Copy !req
346. He must have had a lot of admiration.Copy !req
347. In my youth I excited some admiration,
but look at me now.Copy !req
348. Would you think it possible that I
was once considered to be attractive?Copy !req
349. Your looks are okay.Copy !req
350. - I was fishing for a compliment.
- I don't go for that stuff.Copy !req
351. - What stuff?
- Compliments to women about looks.Copy !req
352. I never met a dame didn't know she was
good-looking or not without being told.Copy !req
353. And some of them give themselves
credit for more than they've got.Copy !req
354. I once went out with a dame
who told me, "I'm the glamorous type."Copy !req
355. She says, "I am the glamorous type."
I says, "So what?"Copy !req
356. - And what did she say then?
- She didn't say nothing.Copy !req
357. - That shut her up like a clam.
- Did it end the romance?Copy !req
358. Well, it ended the conversation,
that was all.Copy !req
359. There's some men that are took in
by this Hollywood glamour stuff...Copy !req
360. and there's some men that aren't.
- You belong in the second category.Copy !req
361. - That's right.
- I can't imagine any witch of a woman...Copy !req
362. casting a spell over you.
- That's right.Copy !req
363. You're simple,
straightforward and honest.Copy !req
364. A little bit on the primitive side,
I should think.Copy !req
365. - To interest you a woman would have to...
- To lay her cards on the table.Copy !req
366. Well, I never did care
for wishy-washy people.Copy !req
367. That was why when you walked
in last night, I said to myself:Copy !req
368. "My sister has married a man."
Of course.Copy !req
369. - That was all I could tell...
- How about cutting the rebop!Copy !req
370. Stanley!Copy !req
371. Come on outside with me
and let Blanche finish dressing.Copy !req
372. - I'm finished dressing.
- Then come on out.Copy !req
373. - Your sister and I are having a talk.
- Honey...Copy !req
374. run to the drugstore and get me
a lemon Coke with chipped ice.Copy !req
375. Will you do that for me,
sweetie, please? Please.Copy !req
376. All right.Copy !req
377. Poor thing was out there listening to us.Copy !req
378. And I have an idea she doesn't
understand you as well as I do.Copy !req
379. All right now, Mr. Kowalski, let us
proceed without any more digression.Copy !req
380. I'm ready to answer all questions.
I have nothing to hide.Copy !req
381. What is it?Copy !req
382. In the state of Louisiana we got here
what's known as the Napoleonic Code.Copy !req
383. Which says, what belongs to the wife
belongs to the husband and vice versa.Copy !req
384. My, but you have
an impressive judicial air.Copy !req
385. If I didn't know that you was my wife's
sister, I would get ideas about you.Copy !req
386. - Such as what?
- Don't play so dumb. You know what.Copy !req
387. All right. Cards on the table.Copy !req
388. I know I fib a good deal. After all,
a woman's charm is 50 percent illusion.Copy !req
389. But when a thing is important
I tell the truth.Copy !req
390. And this is the truth:Copy !req
391. I never cheated my sister, or you, or
anyone else on earth as long as I lived.Copy !req
392. - Where are the papers, in your trunk?
- Everything I own is in that trunk.Copy !req
393. What are you thinking of? What's in the
back of that little boy's mind of yours?Copy !req
394. Let me do that.
It'll be faster and simple.Copy !req
395. - I keep my papers mostly in this tin box.
- What are those underneath?Copy !req
396. Those are love letters...Copy !req
397. yellowing with antiquity...Copy !req
398. all from one boy. Give those back.
- I'm just gonna have a look.Copy !req
399. - The touch of your hands insults them.
- Now, don't pull that stuff.Copy !req
400. Now that you've touched them,
I'll burn them.Copy !req
401. What are they?Copy !req
402. Poems the dead boy wrote.Copy !req
403. I hurt him the way that you would
like to hurt me. But you can't.Copy !req
404. I'm not young and vulnerable anymore,
but my young husband was, and I...Copy !req
405. Never mind about that.Copy !req
406. Just give them back to me.Copy !req
407. Thank you.Copy !req
408. What'd you mean by saying
you have to burn them up?Copy !req
409. I'm sorry.Copy !req
410. I must have lost my head for a moment.Copy !req
411. Everyone has something they won't
let others touch because of their...Copy !req
412. Their intimate nature.Copy !req
413. Ambler and Ambler.Copy !req
414. Crabtree.Copy !req
415. - More Ambler and Ambler.
- What's Ambler and Ambler?Copy !req
416. A firm that made loans on the place.Copy !req
417. - It was lost on a mortgage.
- That must have been what happened.Copy !req
418. I don't want if, ands or buts.
What's the rest of the papers?Copy !req
419. There are thousands of papers
stretching back over hundreds of years...Copy !req
420. affecting Belle Reve...Copy !req
421. as piece by piece,
our improvident grandfathers...Copy !req
422. exchanged the land
for their epic debauches...Copy !req
423. to put it mildly.Copy !req
424. Until finally, all that was left...
And Stella can verify that.Copy !req
425. - Was the house itself.Copy !req
426. And about 20 acres of ground,
including a graveyard...Copy !req
427. to which now all but Stella
and I have retreated.Copy !req
428. Here they are, all of them.
All papers.Copy !req
429. I endow you with them. Take them,
peruse them, commit them to memory.Copy !req
430. I think it's wonderfully fitting
that Belle Reve...Copy !req
431. should finally be this bunch of old
papers in your big, capable hands.Copy !req
432. I wonder if Stella's
come back with my lemon Coke.Copy !req
433. I got a lawyer acquaintance,
we'll study this out.Copy !req
434. Present them to him
with a box of aspirin tablets.Copy !req
435. Under the Napoleonic Code a man has got
to take an interest in his wife's affairs.Copy !req
436. And I mean especially now
that she's gonna have a baby.Copy !req
437. Stella?Copy !req
438. Stella, going to have a baby?Copy !req
439. I didn't know
she was going to have a baby.Copy !req
440. Stella.Copy !req
441. Oh, Stella for star,
how lovely to have a baby.Copy !req
442. Honey, everything's all right.Copy !req
443. We thrashed it out.Copy !req
444. I feel a bit shaky,
but I think I handled it nicely.Copy !req
445. I laughed and treated it all as a joke.Copy !req
446. I laughed and called him a little boy
and flirted. Here.Copy !req
447. I was flirting with your husband, Stella.Copy !req
448. The guests are gathering
for the poker party.Copy !req
449. Hi, Stella.
Hi, Steve.Copy !req
450. I'm sorry he did that to you.Copy !req
451. Why, I guess he's just not the type
that goes for jasmine perfume.Copy !req
452. Maybe he's what we need to mix with
our blood now we've lost Belle Reve...Copy !req
453. and have to go on
without Belle Reve to protect us.Copy !req
454. Oh, how pretty the sky is.Copy !req
455. I ought to go there on a rocket...Copy !req
456. that never comes down.Copy !req
457. Which way do we go now, Stella?Copy !req
458. This way?Copy !req
459. No, hon, this way.Copy !req
460. The blind are leading the blind.Copy !req
461. Red hots!Copy !req
462. Are you going upstairs
and tell her to cut that out?Copy !req
463. If I go up, I won't come down.
Let's just forget it.Copy !req
464. Remember that night she poured boiling
water through them cracks in the floor?Copy !req
465. I gotta go home pretty soon.Copy !req
466. - Come on, what do you say?
- No, I'm out.Copy !req
467. Every time you win a big pot,
you're out like stout.Copy !req
468. I got a sick mother
and she don't go to sleep...Copy !req
469. until I get in.
- What do you say?Copy !req
470. I'm gonna wash up.Copy !req
471. - Stella?
- Yes, Eunice?Copy !req
472. You tell them guys
the kettle's on the stove.Copy !req
473. I'm gonna break up the game.Copy !req
474. - What did she mean by that?
- She'll pour it straight through the cracks.Copy !req
475. Stella, wait. Wait till I powder.Copy !req
476. I feel so hot and frazzled.Copy !req
477. - Do I look done in?
- You look as fresh as a daisy.Copy !req
478. One that's been picked a few days.Copy !req
479. Why don't someone go to the Chinaman's
and bring back a load of chop suey?Copy !req
480. - I'm losing and you want to eat.
- Well, I see you boys are still at it.Copy !req
481. - Where you been?
- Blanche and I took in a show.Copy !req
482. Blanche, honey, this is Mr. Gonzalez
and Mr. Hubbell.Copy !req
483. How do you do?
Please don't get up.Copy !req
484. Nobody's getting up here,
so don't get worried.Copy !req
485. - Poker is so fascinating. Could I kibitz?
- You could not.Copy !req
486. Why don't you women
go on up to Eunice's?Copy !req
487. How long's
this game going to continue?Copy !req
488. Till we get ready to quit.Copy !req
489. You should call it quits
after one more hand.Copy !req
490. Go up to Eunice's.
Hey, that's my coat.Copy !req
491. That's not fun, Stanley.Copy !req
492. It makes me so mad
when he does that in front of people.Copy !req
493. - I think I'll go bathe.
- Again?Copy !req
494. My nerves are in knots.
Is the bathroom occupied?Copy !req
495. I don't know.Copy !req
496. - Oh, good evening.
- Oh, hello.Copy !req
497. Blanche, this is Harold Mitchell.Copy !req
498. - This is my sister, Blanche DuBois.
- How do you do.Copy !req
499. - How do you do, Miss DuBois.
- How's your mother now, Mitch?Copy !req
500. Oh, she's about the same, thanks.Copy !req
501. She appreciated your
sending over that custard.Copy !req
502. Oh, excuse me, please.Copy !req
503. Excuse me.Copy !req
504. - That one seems superior to the others.
Does he?Copy !req
505. - I thought he had a sort of sensitive look.
- His mother's sick.Copy !req
506. - Is he married?
- No.Copy !req
507. - Is he a wolf?
- Why, Blanche.Copy !req
508. - Well, no, I don't think he would be.
- What does he do?Copy !req
509. He's on the Precision Bench
in the Spare Parts Department.Copy !req
510. The plant that Stanley travels for.Copy !req
511. - Is that something much?
- No.Copy !req
512. Stanley's the only one in his crowd
likely to get any work.Copy !req
513. Hey, Blanche,
you're standing in the light.Copy !req
514. Am I? Gracious.Copy !req
515. You ought to see their wives.Copy !req
516. Oh, I can imagine.
Big, beefy things, I suppose.Copy !req
517. - Do you know that one upstairs?
- Oh, yes.Copy !req
518. Well, one night...Copy !req
519. And the plaster...!Copy !req
520. Hey, you hens!Copy !req
521. - Cut out that cackling in there.
- You can't hear us.Copy !req
522. Well, you can hear me,
and I told you to hush up.Copy !req
523. Stella.Copy !req
524. Look, this is my house
and I'll talk as much as I want to.Copy !req
525. - Stella, don't start a row.
- Oh, he's half-drunk.Copy !req
526. I'll be out in a minute.Copy !req
527. What do you say, Mitch?Copy !req
528. - Come on, Mitch, are you in?
Huh?Copy !req
529. No, I'm out.Copy !req
530. Who turned that on in there?Copy !req
531. - I did. Do you mind?
- Well, turn it off!Copy !req
532. Come on, will you?
Let the girls have their music?Copy !req
533. Stanley!Copy !req
534. There you are.
I didn't hear you name it!Copy !req
535. Didn't I name it?
I wasn't listening.Copy !req
536. What were you doing?Copy !req
537. Looking through the drapes.Copy !req
538. I wasn't.
We're gonna play.Copy !req
539. We're gonna deal this hand again,
play cards or quit.Copy !req
540. Deal me out.Copy !req
541. All right, this game's gonna be
Spit in the Ocean.Copy !req
542. Yes?Copy !req
543. Oh, hello.Copy !req
544. Excuse me.Copy !req
545. The little boy's room
is occupied right now.Copy !req
546. Oh, excuse me.Copy !req
547. - Have you got any cigs?
- Oh, sure.Copy !req
548. Oh, what a... What a pretty case.Copy !req
549. - Silver?
- Yes.Copy !req
550. Yes, read the inscription.Copy !req
551. Oh, there is an inscription.Copy !req
552. Why, I can't make it out.Copy !req
553. "And if God choose...Copy !req
554. I shall but love thee better
after death."Copy !req
555. Why, that's from my
favorite sonnet by Mrs. Browning.Copy !req
556. - Why, you know it.
- Certainly, I do.Copy !req
557. Well, there's a story connected
with this inscription.Copy !req
558. It sounds like a romance.Copy !req
559. No, no, it's a pretty sad one.
The girl's dead now.Copy !req
560. She knew she was dying when she give
me this. A very strange girl, very sweet.Copy !req
561. - Very...
- She must have been very fond of you.Copy !req
562. Sick people have such
deep, sincere attachments.Copy !req
563. - That's right. They certainly do.
- Sorrow makes for sincerity, I think.Copy !req
564. It sure brings it out in people.Copy !req
565. The little there is belongs to people
who have known some sorrow.Copy !req
566. - I believe you're right about that.
- Oh, I'm positive I am.Copy !req
567. - Hey, Mitch!
- Deal me out. I'm talking to Miss...?Copy !req
568. DuBois.Copy !req
569. It's a French name.Copy !req
570. It means "woods,"
and Blanche means "white"...Copy !req
571. so the two together mean
"white woods"...Copy !req
572. like an orchard in spring.Copy !req
573. You can remember it by that...Copy !req
574. if you care to.Copy !req
575. You are Stella's sister, are you not?Copy !req
576. Yes. Stella is my precious little sister.Copy !req
577. I call her little in spite of the fact
that she's somewhat older than I am.Copy !req
578. Oh.Copy !req
579. Oh, just slightly. Less than a year.
Will you do something for me?Copy !req
580. Sure. Yes, what?Copy !req
581. I bought this adorable little paper lantern
at a Chinese shop on Bourbon.Copy !req
582. Put it over the light bulb.
Will you, please?Copy !req
583. I'd be glad to.Copy !req
584. I can't stand a naked light bulb
any more than I can a rude remark...Copy !req
585. or a vulgar action.Copy !req
586. Well, I guess we strike you as being
a pretty rough bunch.Copy !req
587. Oh, I'm very adaptable to circumstances.Copy !req
588. Well, that's a good way to be.Copy !req
589. - You're not...?
- Married?Copy !req
590. Oh, no.
No, I'm an old maid schoolteacher.Copy !req
591. You may be a schoolteacher,
but you're certainly not an old maid.Copy !req
592. Why, thank you, sir.Copy !req
593. I appreciate your gallantry.Copy !req
594. So you're in the teaching profession.Copy !req
595. Yes.Copy !req
596. - Yes.
- Grade school or high school...?Copy !req
597. Hey, Mitch!
- Coming!Copy !req
598. Gracious, what lung power.Copy !req
599. I teach high school in Auriol.Copy !req
600. Well, what do you teach?
What subject?Copy !req
601. - You guess.
- Well, I bet you teach art or music.Copy !req
602. - Ha, ha, ha.
- Well, of course, I could be wrong.Copy !req
603. You might teach arithmetic.Copy !req
604. Never arithmetic, sir.
Never arithmetic.Copy !req
605. I don't know
my multiplication tables. Nope.Copy !req
606. I have the misfortune
of being an English instructor.Copy !req
607. I attempt to instill
a bunch of bobbysoxers...Copy !req
608. and drugstore Romeos
with a reverence for Hawthorne...Copy !req
609. and Whitman and Poe.Copy !req
610. Well, I bet some of them
are more interested in other things.Copy !req
611. How very right you are.Copy !req
612. Their literary heritage is not
what they treasure above all else.Copy !req
613. But they're sweet things...Copy !req
614. and in the spring it's touching to see
them making their first discovery of love...Copy !req
615. as if nobody had ever known it before.Copy !req
616. Oh.Copy !req
617. - Sorry. Oh, excuse me, excuse me.
- Have you finished?Copy !req
618. - Oh, yes. Yes, I have.
- Wait, wait. I'll turn on the radio.Copy !req
619. Turn on the light above now.Copy !req
620. Oh, look.Copy !req
621. We've made enchantment.Copy !req
622. - Three bullets, mustache.
- Straight! I gotcha!Copy !req
623. Stanley! Stanley!
What are you doing with the radio?Copy !req
624. Drunk! Drunk animal thing!Copy !req
625. - Get out!
Hey!Copy !req
626. Go on, get out!
- Hey!Copy !req
627. Let go of her!Copy !req
628. My sister is gonna have a baby!Copy !req
629. You come on up to my place, honey.Copy !req
630. Sister, did he hurt you, darling?Copy !req
631. Poker should not be played
in a house with women.Copy !req
632. All right, take it easy, will you?
Look out.Copy !req
633. Get him in that shower.Copy !req
634. Look out.
Get him in that shower, I said!Copy !req
635. Come on, all right.
Get his feet, will you? Get his feet!Copy !req
636. Grab his feet, come on, take it easy.Copy !req
637. Come on, boy. Get under there.Copy !req
638. Come on.Copy !req
639. Get under there. There you go.Copy !req
640. How do you feel, Stan?Copy !req
641. Stanley, wake up!
Hey, Stanley!Copy !req
642. We ought to get his clothes off and...Copy !req
643. Hey! What do you think...!Copy !req
644. Poker should not be played
in a house with women!Copy !req
645. Aw, come on!Copy !req
646. Hey! Where's Steve? Come on.Copy !req
647. Wait. Come here. Take it easy.Copy !req
648. Stella.Copy !req
649. Honey?Copy !req
650. Hey, Stella?Copy !req
651. Honey, where are you?Copy !req
652. Stella?Copy !req
653. Hey, baby...Copy !req
654. Look, you can sleep over here, Stella.
Blanche can have Steve's place.Copy !req
655. He ain't coming home tonight
if he knows what's good for him.Copy !req
656. Is my baby up there? I want her...Copy !req
657. Look, she ain't coming down
and she ain't gonna talk to you neither...Copy !req
658. so you might just as well
not call her!Copy !req
659. Hey, Stella!Copy !req
660. You quit that howling down there
and go to bed!Copy !req
661. Eunice, I want my girl down here!Copy !req
662. You shut up!Copy !req
663. - You're gonna get the law on you.
Stella!Copy !req
664. You can't beat on a woman
and then call her back.Copy !req
665. You're gonna have a baby.Copy !req
666. I hope they haul you in, turn a fire hose
on you like the last time!Copy !req
667. I want my girl down here!
You stinker!Copy !req
668. Hey, Stella!Copy !req
669. I wouldn't mix in this.Copy !req
670. Don't ever leave me, baby.Copy !req
671. Blanche, come back!Copy !req
672. Miss DuBois?Copy !req
673. Miss DuBois?Copy !req
674. Oh.Copy !req
675. All quiet along the Potomac now?Copy !req
676. She ran down here
and went back in there with him.Copy !req
677. - Sure she did.
- I'm terrified.Copy !req
678. Nothing to be scared of.
They're crazy about each other.Copy !req
679. It's a shame this had to happen
when you got here.Copy !req
680. - Violence is so...
- Sit down on the steps...Copy !req
681. and have a cigarette with me.
- Why...Copy !req
682. I'm not properly dressed.Copy !req
683. Well, that don't make no difference
in the Quarter.Copy !req
684. Such a pretty silver case.Copy !req
685. I showed you the inscription, didn't I?Copy !req
686. Yes.Copy !req
687. So much...Copy !req
688. So much confusion in the world.Copy !req
689. Thank you for being so kind.Copy !req
690. I need kindness now.Copy !req
691. Bananas!Copy !req
692. Bananas!Copy !req
693. Stella?Copy !req
694. Hm?Copy !req
695. Stella. Oh, my baby.
My baby sister.Copy !req
696. Why, angel,
what's the matter with you?Copy !req
697. - He left?
- Stan? Mm-hm.Copy !req
698. Will he be back?Copy !req
699. - He's gone to get the car greased, why?
- Why?Copy !req
700. I've been half-crazy, Stella. How could
you come back to this place last night?Copy !req
701. Please, Blanche. He was as good
as a lamb when I came back.Copy !req
702. - He's really very ashamed of himself.
- And that...Copy !req
703. - That makes it all right?
- No.Copy !req
704. Stanley's always smashed things.Copy !req
705. On our wedding night,
as soon as we came in here...Copy !req
706. he snatched off one of my slippers...Copy !req
707. and rushed about the place smashing
the light bulbs with it.Copy !req
708. He did what?Copy !req
709. He smashed all the light bulbs
with the heel of my slipper.Copy !req
710. And you let him?
Didn't run, didn't scream?Copy !req
711. I was sort of thrilled by it.Copy !req
712. Eunice and you had breakfast?Copy !req
713. Oh, do you suppose
I wanted any breakfast?Copy !req
714. You're so matter-of-fact
about it all, Stella.Copy !req
715. What other can I be?Copy !req
716. He's taken the radio to get it fixed.Copy !req
717. It didn't land on the pavement,
so only one tube was smashed.Copy !req
718. And you standing there smiling.Copy !req
719. What do you want me to do?Copy !req
720. Pull yourself together. Face the facts.Copy !req
721. What are they in your opinion?Copy !req
722. In my opinion,
you're married to a madman.Copy !req
723. I've got a plan for us both,
to get us both out of here.Copy !req
724. I wish you'd stop taking it for granted
I'm in something I wanna get out of.Copy !req
725. I take it you have sufficient
memory of Belle Reve to find this place...Copy !req
726. and these poker players impossible
to live with.Copy !req
727. - You take too much for granted.
- I can't believe you're in earnest.Copy !req
728. - No?
- I understand what happened a little.Copy !req
729. You saw him first in uniform,
an officer, not here.Copy !req
730. I'm not sure it makes
any difference where I saw him.Copy !req
731. What you're talking about is desire,
just brutal desire.Copy !req
732. The name of that rattletrap streetcar
that bangs through the Quarter.Copy !req
733. Up one old, narrow street
and down another.Copy !req
734. Haven't you ever ridden
on that streetcar?Copy !req
735. It brought me here.Copy !req
736. Where I'm not wanted...Copy !req
737. and where I'm ashamed to be.Copy !req
738. Don't you think your superior attitude's
a little out of place?Copy !req
739. A man like that...
I told you I love him.Copy !req
740. I tremble for you, I just tremble.Copy !req
741. - Hi, Stanley.
- Hi.Copy !req
742. May I speak plainly?Copy !req
743. Yes, do. Go ahead, as plainly
as you want to.Copy !req
744. Well, if you'll forgive me...Copy !req
745. he's common.Copy !req
746. Yes, I suppose he is.Copy !req
747. Suppose?Copy !req
748. Surely you can't have forgotten
that much of our upbringing, Stella...Copy !req
749. that you just suppose there's
any part of a gentleman in his nature.Copy !req
750. Oh, you're hating me saying this,
aren't you?Copy !req
751. Go on and say it all, Blanche.Copy !req
752. He's like an animal.Copy !req
753. Has an animal's habits.Copy !req
754. There's even something
subhuman about him.Copy !req
755. Thousands of years have passed him
right by and there he is...Copy !req
756. Stanley Kowalski,
survivor of the Stone Age.Copy !req
757. Bearing the raw meat home
from the kill in the jungle. And you...Copy !req
758. you here waiting for him.Copy !req
759. Maybe he'll strike you
or maybe grunt and kiss you.Copy !req
760. That's if kisses have been discovered
yet. His "poker night," you call it.Copy !req
761. His party of apes?Copy !req
762. Maybe we are a long way
from being made in God's image.Copy !req
763. But, Stella, my sister...Copy !req
764. there's been some progress
since then.Copy !req
765. Such things as art, as poetry,
as music.Copy !req
766. In some kinds of people...Copy !req
767. some tenderer feelings have had
some little beginning...Copy !req
768. that we have got to make grow
and to cling to...Copy !req
769. as our flag in this dark march
toward whatever it is we're approaching.Copy !req
770. Don't, don't hang back
with the brutes.Copy !req
771. Hey, Stell?Copy !req
772. Hey, Stell?Copy !req
773. - Hiya.
Hi.Copy !req
774. Hey, is Blanche back yet?Copy !req
775. Yeah, she's back.Copy !req
776. Oh, hi there, Blanche.Copy !req
777. You look like you got under the car.Copy !req
778. That mechanic down at Fritz's doesn't
know his axle grease from third base.Copy !req
779. Hey!Copy !req
780. Don't throw
that thing at me! Eunice!Copy !req
781. You brick redhead,
I'll play with you!Copy !req
782. You wanna play with me,
I'll play games with you!Copy !req
783. That's just what I gave your
brother, you big redhead!Copy !req
784. He hit me!
And I'm gonna call the police!Copy !req
785. Some of your sister's friends
have stayed in the city.Copy !req
786. - Did Eunice get the police?
- No, she's getting a drink...Copy !req
787. at the Four Deuces.
- That's much more practical.Copy !req
788. Blanche is making us
some new slipcovers, honey.Copy !req
789. Hey, is she here?Copy !req
790. She went to the Four Deuces.Copy !req
791. That no-good, rotten...Copy !req
792. Hey, Stella, I can't find
my other pair of shoes.Copy !req
793. We cleaned in there.Copy !req
794. I'll get them.Copy !req
795. I can't find nothing
around this dump anymore.Copy !req
796. Oh, Stanley.Copy !req
797. What sign were you born under?Copy !req
798. - What sign?
- Astrological sign.Copy !req
799. I bet you were born under Aries.Copy !req
800. Aries people are forceful, dynamic,
they dote on noise.Copy !req
801. They love to bang things around.Copy !req
802. Stanley was born just five minutes
after Christmas.Copy !req
803. Capricorn, the goat!Copy !req
804. Say...Copy !req
805. do you happen to know
somebody named Shaw?Copy !req
806. Why... Why, everybody knows
someone by the name of Shaw.Copy !req
807. This somebody named Shaw is under
the impression that he met you in Auriol.Copy !req
808. I figure he must have got you
mixed up with some other party...Copy !req
809. because this other party
is somebody...Copy !req
810. that he met at a hotel
called the Flamingo.Copy !req
811. Why, I guess he does have me
mixed up with this other party.Copy !req
812. The Hotel Flamingo is not a place
that I would dare to be seen in.Copy !req
813. Oh, you know it then?Copy !req
814. I've seen it and smelled it.Copy !req
815. You must've got pretty close
if you could smell it.Copy !req
816. The odor of cheap perfume
is penetrating.Copy !req
817. Is that stuff you use expensive?Copy !req
818. Twelve dollars an ounce. I'm nearly out.Copy !req
819. That's just a hint if you want to
remember my birthday.Copy !req
820. I figure that he must have
got you mixed up...Copy !req
821. but he goes in and out
of Auriol all the time...Copy !req
822. so he can check and clear up
any mistake.Copy !req
823. - I'll see you at the Four Deuces.
- Hey, don't I rate a kiss?Copy !req
824. No, not in front of your sister.Copy !req
825. Don't cry. I only do that with other girls
because I love you, baby.Copy !req
826. Don't cry.Copy !req
827. Stella.Copy !req
828. You still scared of thunder?Copy !req
829. What have you heard about me?Copy !req
830. Huh?Copy !req
831. What have people been
telling you about me?Copy !req
832. - Telling?
- You haven't heard...Copy !req
833. any unkind gossip about me?Copy !req
834. Why, no, Blanche. Of course not.Copy !req
835. Honey, there was
quite a lot of talk in Auriol.Copy !req
836. People talk, who cares?Copy !req
837. I haven't been so awfully good
the last year or so, since...Copy !req
838. Since Belle Reve started to slip
through my fingers.Copy !req
839. Honey, all of us do things...Copy !req
840. I never was hard
or self-sufficient enough.Copy !req
841. Soft people...Copy !req
842. Soft people have got to
court the favor of hard ones, Stella.Copy !req
843. You've got to shimmer and glow.Copy !req
844. I don't know how much longer
I can turn the trick.Copy !req
845. It isn't enough to be soft.Copy !req
846. You've got to be soft and attractive.Copy !req
847. And I...Copy !req
848. I'm fading now.Copy !req
849. Have you been listening to me?Copy !req
850. I never listen to you
when you're being morbid.Copy !req
851. Oh.Copy !req
852. Is that Coke for me?Copy !req
853. - Not for anyone else.
- You precious lamb. Is it just a Coke?Copy !req
854. - You mean you want a shot in it?
- A shot never did a Coke any harm.Copy !req
855. Oh, let me.Copy !req
856. You mustn't wait on me.Copy !req
857. I like to wait on you, Blanche.
It makes it seem more like home.Copy !req
858. I have to admit, I...Copy !req
859. I love to be waited on.Copy !req
860. Blanche.Copy !req
861. Blanche, honey, what is it?Copy !req
862. Oh, you're so good to me, and I...Copy !req
863. - Now, Blanche.
- I know you hate me to talk sentimental...Copy !req
864. but believe me, honey,
I feel more than I tell you.Copy !req
865. I won't stay long, I won't.
I promise.Copy !req
866. - Now, Blanche.
- I'll go. I'll go soon.Copy !req
867. I won't hang around
till he throws me out.Copy !req
868. - Now, will you stop talking foolish?
- Yes.Copy !req
869. Only watch how you pour it!Copy !req
870. Heavens.Copy !req
871. Right on my...Copy !req
872. pretty...Copy !req
873. pink skirt.
- Here. Use my hankie.Copy !req
874. - Blot gently.
- I know.Copy !req
875. Gently...Copy !req
876. gently...Copy !req
877. gently.Copy !req
878. Did it stain?Copy !req
879. No.Copy !req
880. No, not a bit.Copy !req
881. Isn't that lucky?Copy !req
882. Why did you scream like that?Copy !req
883. I don't know why I screamed.Copy !req
884. Mitch...Copy !req
885. Mitch is coming at 7.Copy !req
886. I guess I'm a little nervous
about our relations.Copy !req
887. He hasn't gotten anything more than a
good-night kiss. That's all I've given him.Copy !req
888. I want his respect. And men don't want
anything they get too easy.Copy !req
889. On the other hand, men lose interest
quickly, especially when a girl is over...Copy !req
890. Over 30.Copy !req
891. When I mentioned marriage
they even forgot where I lived, so...Copy !req
892. So, you see, I haven't informed him
of my real age.Copy !req
893. Honey, why are you so sensitive
about your age?Copy !req
894. Because of hard knocks
my vanity has been given.Copy !req
895. What I mean is, he thinks I'm sort of...Copy !req
896. prim and proper, you know.Copy !req
897. I want to deceive him...Copy !req
898. just enough to make him want me.Copy !req
899. Darling...Copy !req
900. do you want him?Copy !req
901. I want to rest.Copy !req
902. I want to breathe quietly again.Copy !req
903. Yes, I want Mitch.Copy !req
904. Very badly.Copy !req
905. Just think, if it happens...Copy !req
906. I can go away from here
and not be anyone's problem.Copy !req
907. Blanche, it will happen.Copy !req
908. It will?Copy !req
909. It will, honey, it will.Copy !req
910. Only, don't take another drink.Copy !req
911. Hey, Steve! Eunice!Copy !req
912. Stell!Copy !req
913. Oh, get away! Get away!Copy !req
914. - Put me down!
Oh, you...!Copy !req
915. Hiya, honey!
Let go!Copy !req
916. Oh, me.Copy !req
917. Come in.Copy !req
918. Evening, ma'am.
- Oh.Copy !req
919. Well, well.Copy !req
920. - What can I do for you?
- Well, I'm collecting for the Evening Star.Copy !req
921. I didn't know that stars
took up collections.Copy !req
922. No, it's a paper, ma'am.Copy !req
923. I know.Copy !req
924. I was joking. Feebly.Copy !req
925. Will you...? Will you have a drink?Copy !req
926. No, ma'am.Copy !req
927. No, thank you.
I can't drink on the job.Copy !req
928. Oh.Copy !req
929. Well, now, let me see.Copy !req
930. No, no. I don't have a dime.Copy !req
931. I'm not the lady of the house.
I'm her sister from Mississippi.Copy !req
932. I'm one of those poor relations
you've heard tell about.Copy !req
933. Oh, that's all right, ma'am.
I'll come back later.Copy !req
934. Hey.Copy !req
935. Have you...?Copy !req
936. - Have you got a light?
- Sure.Copy !req
937. - This doesn't always work.
- It's temperamental.Copy !req
938. Why, thanks.Copy !req
939. Thank you.Copy !req
940. Hey.Copy !req
941. What?Copy !req
942. What time is it?Copy !req
943. Fifteen of 7.Copy !req
944. So late?Copy !req
945. Don't you love these long,
rainy afternoons in New Orleans...Copy !req
946. when an hour isn't just an hour...Copy !req
947. but a little piece of eternity
dropped in our hands...Copy !req
948. and who knows what to do with it?Copy !req
949. You...Copy !req
950. You didn't get caught in the rain?Copy !req
951. No, ma'am. I stepped inside.Copy !req
952. - In a drugstore and had a soda.
- Mm-hm.Copy !req
953. - Chocolate?
- No, ma'am. Cherry.Copy !req
954. - Cherry. Heh, heh.
- Cherry.Copy !req
955. Mmm. You make my mouth water.Copy !req
956. I guess I...Copy !req
957. Young man.Copy !req
958. Young...Copy !req
959. young...Copy !req
960. young man.Copy !req
961. Did anyone ever tell you, you look like a
young prince out of the Arabian Nights?Copy !req
962. You do, honey lamb.Copy !req
963. Come here.Copy !req
964. Come on over here, like I told you.Copy !req
965. I want to kiss you just once...Copy !req
966. softly...Copy !req
967. and sweetly on your mouth.Copy !req
968. Run away now, quickly.Copy !req
969. It'd be nice to keep you,
but I've got to be good...Copy !req
970. and keep my hands off children.Copy !req
971. Adiós.Copy !req
972. Why, look who's here.Copy !req
973. My Rosenkavalier.Copy !req
974. Oh, bow to me first.Copy !req
975. Now, présentez. Ha, ha.Copy !req
976. Hiya, Mitch.Copy !req
977. I'm afraid you haven't had much
fun out of this evening, Blanche.Copy !req
978. - I spoiled it for you.
- No, you didn't.Copy !req
979. I simply couldn't rise
to the occasion, that was all.Copy !req
980. I don't think I've ever tried so hard to be
gay and made such a dismal mess of it.Copy !req
981. I get ten points for trying.
I did try.Copy !req
982. Hello, moon.Copy !req
983. I'm looking for the Pleiades...Copy !req
984. the Seven Sisters...Copy !req
985. but these girls aren't out tonight.Copy !req
986. Oh, yes, they are.Copy !req
987. There they are, God bless them.Copy !req
988. All in a bunch, going home
from their little bridge party.Copy !req
989. May I kiss you?Copy !req
990. Why do you always ask me if you may?Copy !req
991. - I don't know if you want me to or not.
- Why should you be so doubtful?Copy !req
992. We parked by the lake,
and I kissed you...Copy !req
993. Honey, it wasn't the kiss I
objected to. I liked the kiss very much.Copy !req
994. It was the other little familiarity
that I felt obliged to discourage.Copy !req
995. Not that I resented it,
not a bit in the world.Copy !req
996. In fact, I was somewhat flattered
that you desired me.Copy !req
997. But you know as well as I do that
a single girl, a girl alone in the world...Copy !req
998. has got to keep a firm hold
on her emotions...Copy !req
999. or she'll be lost.
- Lost?Copy !req
1000. I guess you're used to
the type of girl that likes to be lost.Copy !req
1001. I like you to be exactly
the way that you are...Copy !req
1002. because in all my experience,
I have never known anyone like you.Copy !req
1003. Are you laughing at me?Copy !req
1004. No.Copy !req
1005. No, honey.Copy !req
1006. I'm not laughing at you.Copy !req
1007. Well, come on,
let's finish our nightcap.Copy !req
1008. You've been so anxious and solemn
all evening.Copy !req
1009. We've both been anxious and solemn.Copy !req
1010. And now for these last few remaining
moments of our lives together...Copy !req
1011. I want to create joie de vivre.Copy !req
1012. I'm lighting this candle.Copy !req
1013. That's good.Copy !req
1014. We're going to be very bohemian.Copy !req
1015. We are gonna pretend we're sitting in an
artists' cafe on the Left Bank in Paris.Copy !req
1016. - Understand French?
- No, no, I don't understand French.Copy !req
1017. Oh. Well, why don't you sit down.
Take off your coat. Loosen your collar.Copy !req
1018. - No, I better leave it on.
- No. I want you to be comfortable.Copy !req
1019. No, I'm ashamed of the way I perspire.
My shirt is sticking to me.Copy !req
1020. Perspiration is healthy. If people didn't
perspire, they would die in five minutes.Copy !req
1021. Oh, this is a nice coat.
What...?Copy !req
1022. - What material is it?
- They call this stuff alpaca.Copy !req
1023. - Oh, alpaca.
- It's very lightweight alpaca.Copy !req
1024. - Oh, lightweight alpaca.
- Yes.Copy !req
1025. I don't like to wear a watch coat even in
the summer because I sweat through it.Copy !req
1026. And it don't look neat on me.Copy !req
1027. A man with a heavy build is careful of
what he wears so he don't look clumsy.Copy !req
1028. - Why, you're not too heavy.
- You don't think I am?Copy !req
1029. You're not the delicate type.Copy !req
1030. You have a massive bone structure
and a very imposing physique.Copy !req
1031. I thank you.Copy !req
1032. At Christmas, I was given a membership
to the New Orleans Sports Club.Copy !req
1033. - Oh, good.
- It's the finest present I was ever given.Copy !req
1034. I work out there with the weights
and I swim. I keep myself fit.Copy !req
1035. When I started there I was soft
in the belly, but now my belly is hard.Copy !req
1036. It's so hard now a man can punch me
in the belly and it don't hurt me.Copy !req
1037. Punch me.
Go ahead. Go on. Punch.Copy !req
1038. Come on.Copy !req
1039. - Gracious.
- Heh, heh. See?Copy !req
1040. Blanche.Copy !req
1041. Guess how much I weigh?Copy !req
1042. - I'd say in the vicinity of 180 pounds.
- No, guess again.Copy !req
1043. - Not so much?
- No, more.Copy !req
1044. - Well?
- I weigh 207 pounds.Copy !req
1045. I'm 6'1 " and one-half inches tall
in my bare feet...Copy !req
1046. without shoes on,
and that's what I weigh stripped.Copy !req
1047. Oh, my goodness, it's awe-inspiring.Copy !req
1048. Well, my weight's not a very
interesting subject to talk about.Copy !req
1049. What's yours?Copy !req
1050. - My weight?
- Yes.Copy !req
1051. - You guess.
- Let me lift you.Copy !req
1052. Samson. Go on, lift me.Copy !req
1053. - Why, you're light as a feather.
- You may release me now.Copy !req
1054. - Huh?
- I said unhand me, sir.Copy !req
1055. Mitch, Mitch, we're in public.
You must behave like a gentleman.Copy !req
1056. Just give me a slap
whenever I step out of bounds.Copy !req
1057. It won't be necessary. You're a natural
gentleman. One of the few left.Copy !req
1058. I don't want you to think that I'm
severe or old-maid schoolteacherish...Copy !req
1059. or anything. It's just, well, I...Copy !req
1060. I guess I have old-fashioned ideals.Copy !req
1061. Where's Stanley and Stella tonight?Copy !req
1062. I think they were planning
to take in a midnight preview.Copy !req
1063. We all ought to go out together
some night.Copy !req
1064. That wouldn't be a good plan.Copy !req
1065. Why not?Copy !req
1066. You are an old friend of Stanley's?Copy !req
1067. We was together in the 241 st.Copy !req
1068. - I guess he talks to you pretty frankly.
- Sure.Copy !req
1069. Has he talked to you about me?Copy !req
1070. - No, not much.
- The way you say that...Copy !req
1071. I suspect that he has.
- He hasn't said much.Copy !req
1072. Well, what he has said, what would
you say his attitude toward me was?Copy !req
1073. - What makes you ask that?
- Well...Copy !req
1074. Don't you get along with him?Copy !req
1075. What do you think?Copy !req
1076. I think he don't understand you.Copy !req
1077. That's putting it mildly. Surely he must
have told you how much he hates me.Copy !req
1078. I don't think he hates you.Copy !req
1079. He hates me,
or why would he insult me?Copy !req
1080. Of course...Copy !req
1081. there is such a thing as
the hostility of...Copy !req
1082. Perhaps in some strange
kind of way, he...Copy !req
1083. Oh, no.Copy !req
1084. To think of it makes me...Copy !req
1085. - Blanche.
- Yes, honey?Copy !req
1086. - Blanche, can I ask you a question?
- Yes, what?Copy !req
1087. How old are you?Copy !req
1088. What do you want to know that for?Copy !req
1089. I talked to my mother about you
and she said, "How old is Blanche?"Copy !req
1090. - You talked to your mother about me?
- Yes.Copy !req
1091. Why?Copy !req
1092. Because I told her how nice
you were, and I liked you.Copy !req
1093. Were you sincere about that?Copy !req
1094. You know I was.Copy !req
1095. Why did your mother
want to know my age?Copy !req
1096. - My mother is sick, and...
- Oh, I'm sorry to hear it. Badly?Copy !req
1097. She won't live long...Copy !req
1098. maybe just a few months,
and she worries because I'm not settled.Copy !req
1099. She wants to see me
settled down before she...Copy !req
1100. You love her very much, don't you?Copy !req
1101. You'll be lonely when she passes on,
won't you?Copy !req
1102. I know what that means.Copy !req
1103. To be Ionely?Copy !req
1104. I loved someone once.Copy !req
1105. And the person I loved, I lost.Copy !req
1106. Dead?Copy !req
1107. He was a boy.Copy !req
1108. Just a boy,
when I was a very young girl.Copy !req
1109. When I was 16, I made the discovery:Copy !req
1110. Love.Copy !req
1111. All at once, and much...Copy !req
1112. much too completely.Copy !req
1113. It was like you suddenly turned
a blinding light...Copy !req
1114. on something that had
always been half in shadow.Copy !req
1115. That's how it struck the world for me.Copy !req
1116. But I was unlucky.Copy !req
1117. Deluded.Copy !req
1118. There was something about the boy.Copy !req
1119. A nervousness, a tenderness...Copy !req
1120. an uncertainty.Copy !req
1121. And I didn't understand.Copy !req
1122. I didn't understand why this boy,
who wrote poetry...Copy !req
1123. didn't seem able to do anything else.Copy !req
1124. He lost every job.Copy !req
1125. He came to me for help.Copy !req
1126. I didn't know that.Copy !req
1127. I didn't know anything...Copy !req
1128. except that I loved him...Copy !req
1129. unendurably.Copy !req
1130. At night I pretended to sleep.Copy !req
1131. I heard him crying.Copy !req
1132. Crying.Copy !req
1133. Crying the way a lost child cries.Copy !req
1134. I don't understand.Copy !req
1135. No.Copy !req
1136. No, neither did I.Copy !req
1137. And that's why I...Copy !req
1138. I killed him.Copy !req
1139. You...?Copy !req
1140. One night...Copy !req
1141. we drove out to a place
called Moon Lake Casino.Copy !req
1142. We danced the Varsouviana.Copy !req
1143. Suddenly, in the middle of the dance,
the boy I married broke away from me...Copy !req
1144. and ran out of the casino.Copy !req
1145. A few minutes later...Copy !req
1146. a shot.Copy !req
1147. I ran.Copy !req
1148. All did.Copy !req
1149. All ran and gathered about
the terrible thing at the edge of the lake.Copy !req
1150. He'd stuck a revolver into his mouth...Copy !req
1151. and fired.Copy !req
1152. It was because...Copy !req
1153. on the dance floor...Copy !req
1154. unable to stop myself, I'd said:Copy !req
1155. "You're weak.Copy !req
1156. I've lost respect for you.Copy !req
1157. I despise you."Copy !req
1158. And then...Copy !req
1159. the searchlight
which had been turned on the world...Copy !req
1160. was turned off again.Copy !req
1161. And never...Copy !req
1162. for one moment since,
has there been any light stronger than...Copy !req
1163. Than this...Copy !req
1164. yellow lantern.Copy !req
1165. You need somebody.Copy !req
1166. And I need somebody too.Copy !req
1167. Could it be you and me, Blanche?Copy !req
1168. Oh.Copy !req
1169. Sometimes...Copy !req
1170. there's God...Copy !req
1171. so quickly.Copy !req
1172. You wanna mess with me,
sonny boy, come on!Copy !req
1173. All right, turn him loose!Copy !req
1174. You're gonna kill who? You don't even
know when you're getting wised up.Copy !req
1175. You don't have to wise me up!Copy !req
1176. Come on, here. Come on,
get to work here. We gotta get going.Copy !req
1177. We got some bucks
to make around here.Copy !req
1178. Go ahead and marry her,
but hurry it up.Copy !req
1179. She's been in my house
five months and her time is up.Copy !req
1180. It's only a paper moonCopy !req
1181. Sailing over a cardboard seaCopy !req
1182. But it wouldn't be make-believeCopy !req
1183. If you believed in meCopy !req
1184. It's a Barnum and Bailey worldCopy !req
1185. Just as phony as it...Copy !req
1186. Oh, hello, Stanley.Copy !req
1187. But it wouldn't be make-believeCopy !req
1188. If you believed in meCopy !req
1189. Some canary bird.Copy !req
1190. All right.Copy !req
1191. Please tell me quietly just what you think
you found out about my sister.Copy !req
1192. You know your sister Blanche
is no lily, don't you?Copy !req
1193. What have you heard,
and who from?Copy !req
1194. You should know the line
that she's been feeding to Mitch.Copy !req
1195. Our supply man at the plant's
been going through Auriol for years.Copy !req
1196. He knows all about her.Copy !req
1197. And everybody else in the town
of Auriol knows all about her.Copy !req
1198. She's as famous in Auriol as if she was
the president of the United States...Copy !req
1199. only she's not respected by any party.Copy !req
1200. Without your loveCopy !req
1201. It's a honky-tonk paradeCopy !req
1202. So she moved to a hotel
called the Flamingo...Copy !req
1203. which is a second-class hotel...Copy !req
1204. and has the advantages...Copy !req
1205. of not interfering with the private
and social life of the personalities there.Copy !req
1206. Now, the Flamingo is used to
all kinds of goings on.Copy !req
1207. But the management of the Flamingo
was impressed by Dame Blanche.Copy !req
1208. In fact, they were so impressed
that they requested her...Copy !req
1209. to turn in her room key
for permanently.Copy !req
1210. And this happened a couple of weeks
before she showed here.Copy !req
1211. Honey, I know how
this is gonna upset you.Copy !req
1212. But listen, she pulled the wool
over your eyes just as much as Mitch's.Copy !req
1213. Pure invention.
Not a word of truth in it.Copy !req
1214. Baby, listen. I checked on every story.Copy !req
1215. The trouble was she couldn't
put on her act anymore in Auriol...Copy !req
1216. because they wised up.Copy !req
1217. And after two, three days they quit,
then she goes on to another one.Copy !req
1218. The same old line, the same old act
and the same old hooey.Copy !req
1219. And as time went by,
she became the town character...Copy !req
1220. regarded not just as different,
but downright loco and nuts...Copy !req
1221. which brings us to lie number two...Copy !req
1222. Stella.Copy !req
1223. Baby, now...Copy !req
1224. She didn't resign temporarily because
of her nerves. She was kicked out...Copy !req
1225. before the spring term ended.Copy !req
1226. And, now, I hate to tell you the reason
that step was taken.Copy !req
1227. A 17-year-old kid
she got mixed up with.Copy !req
1228. The boy's dad learned about it...Copy !req
1229. and he got in touch
with the high school superintendent.Copy !req
1230. And it was practically a town ordinance
passed against her.Copy !req
1231. Stella.
- Yes, Blanche?Copy !req
1232. Can I have another bath towel
to dry my hair with? I just washed it.Copy !req
1233. Yes, honey.Copy !req
1234. - What's the matter, honey?
- Matter, what?Copy !req
1235. You have such a strange
expression on your face.Copy !req
1236. - I guess I'm a little tired, is...
- Well...Copy !req
1237. why don't you take a hot bath
as soon as I get out?Copy !req
1238. How soon is that gonna be, Blanche?Copy !req
1239. Not so terribly long,
possess your soul in patience.Copy !req
1240. It's not my soul I'm worried about.Copy !req
1241. Well?Copy !req
1242. How many candles
you sticking in the cake?Copy !req
1243. I stopped at 25.Copy !req
1244. You got company expected?Copy !req
1245. We asked Mitch to come over.Copy !req
1246. Well, don't expect Mitch
over here tonight.Copy !req
1247. Why?Copy !req
1248. Mitch is a buddy of mine.
We was together in the 241 st Engineers.Copy !req
1249. We work in the same plant,
we're on the same bowling team.Copy !req
1250. Stanley Kowalski, did you repeat
what that...?Copy !req
1251. You bet I told him.
I would have that on my conscience...Copy !req
1252. if I knew all that
and let my best friend get caught.Copy !req
1253. - Is Mitch through with her?
- I don't know...Copy !req
1254. but he's wised up.
- Mitch was gonna marry her.Copy !req
1255. He's not gonna marry her now.Copy !req
1256. He's not gonna jump into a tank
with a school of sharks.Copy !req
1257. - What'll she do? What will she do?
- Oh, her future is mapped out for her.Copy !req
1258. What do you mean?Copy !req
1259. Hey, toots! Canary bird,
will you get out of the bathroom!Copy !req
1260. Oh.Copy !req
1261. Oh, I feel so good
after a long, hot bath.Copy !req
1262. I feel so good and cool and rested.Copy !req
1263. - Do you, Blanche?
- Yes, I do. So refreshed.Copy !req
1264. Why, a hot bath
and a long, cold drink...Copy !req
1265. always gives me
a brand-new outlook on life.Copy !req
1266. What's the matter?Copy !req
1267. What's happened.Copy !req
1268. - What is it?
- Nothing's happened, Blanche.Copy !req
1269. You're lying.Copy !req
1270. Something has.Copy !req
1271. Stanley?Copy !req
1272. Stanley, tell us a joke.Copy !req
1273. Tell us a funny little story
to make us all laugh.Copy !req
1274. I don't know what's the matter,
we're all so solemn.Copy !req
1275. Is it because I've been
stood up by my beau?Copy !req
1276. First time in my experience with men...
And I've had a good deal of all sorts.Copy !req
1277. - That I've been stood up by anyone.
Ha, ha.Copy !req
1278. I don't know how to take it.Copy !req
1279. Tell us a funny little story, Stanley.Copy !req
1280. Something to help us out.Copy !req
1281. I didn't think you liked
my stories, Blanche.Copy !req
1282. I like them when they're amusing,
but not indecent.Copy !req
1283. I don't know any refined enough
for your taste.Copy !req
1284. Well, then. Let me tell one.Copy !req
1285. Yes, tell one, Blanche.
You used to know a lot of good stories.Copy !req
1286. Now, let me see. I have to run
through my repertoire.Copy !req
1287. Oh, yes, I love parrot stories.Copy !req
1288. You all like parrot stories? This is about
the old maid and the parrot.Copy !req
1289. This old maid, she had a parrot
that cursed a blue streak...Copy !req
1290. and knew more vulgar expressions
than Mr. Kowalski.Copy !req
1291. Well, the only way to hush the parrot up
was to put the cover...Copy !req
1292. Must be upstairs.Copy !req
1293. Well, the only way
to hush the parrot up was to put...Copy !req
1294. Go on, Blanche.Copy !req
1295. No.Copy !req
1296. I don't think
Mr. Kowalski will be amused.Copy !req
1297. Mr. Kowalski is too busy making
a pig of himself to think of anything else.Copy !req
1298. Your face and your fingers
are disgustingly greasy.Copy !req
1299. Go wash up
and then help me clear the table.Copy !req
1300. Now, that's how
I'm gonna clear the table.Copy !req
1301. Don't you ever talk that way to me.Copy !req
1302. Pig, Polack, disgusting, vulgar, greasy.Copy !req
1303. Those words have been on your tongue
and your sister's tongue...Copy !req
1304. just too much around here.Copy !req
1305. Who do you think you are,
a pair of queens?Copy !req
1306. Remember Huey Long said: Every man's
a king, and I'm the king around here.Copy !req
1307. And don't you forget it.Copy !req
1308. My place is all cleared up now.
You want me to clear yours?Copy !req
1309. Stella...Copy !req
1310. what happened while I was bathing?Copy !req
1311. - What did he tell you?
- Nothing. Nothing, nothing, Blanche.Copy !req
1312. - I think he told you about Mitch and me.
- No.Copy !req
1313. You know why Mitch didn't come,
but you won't tell.Copy !req
1314. - No.
- I'm gonna call him.Copy !req
1315. - Don't call him!
- Yes, I am. I'll call him on the phone.Copy !req
1316. Blanche, I wouldn't call him.Copy !req
1317. Got to be given some explanation
from someone.Copy !req
1318. Well, I hope you're
pleased with your doings.Copy !req
1319. I never had so much trouble
swallowing food in my life...Copy !req
1320. looking at that girl's face
and that empty chair.Copy !req
1321. Hello? I want to talk
to Mr. Mitchell, please.Copy !req
1322. I'd like to leave a number, if I may.Copy !req
1323. Honey.
Tulane-4947.Copy !req
1324. And say it's important to call, please.Copy !req
1325. Honey, it's gonna be all right after
she goes and after you have the baby.Copy !req
1326. It's gonna be all right again
between you and me, the way it was.Copy !req
1327. Remember how it was?Copy !req
1328. It's gonna be so sweet when we can
get them colored lights going...Copy !req
1329. with nobody's sister
behind the curtains to hear us.Copy !req
1330. Steve and Eunice.Copy !req
1331. Come on back in.Copy !req
1332. Blanche?Copy !req
1333. Blanche.Copy !req
1334. Yes?
Oh, come on, hon.Copy !req
1335. Oh, what pretty, pretty candles.
Don't burn them, Stella.Copy !req
1336. I certainly will.
- No.Copy !req
1337. You ought to save them
for baby's birthdays.Copy !req
1338. Oh, I hope candles are gonna
glow in his life.Copy !req
1339. I hope his eyes are gonna be
like candles...Copy !req
1340. like two blue candles...Copy !req
1341. Lining a white cake.Copy !req
1342. What poetry.Copy !req
1343. I shouldn't have called him.Copy !req
1344. Blanche. You know, it's hot in there
with the steam from that bathroom!Copy !req
1345. I said I was sorry three times!Copy !req
1346. I take hot baths for my nerves.Copy !req
1347. Hydrotherapy, they call it.Copy !req
1348. You healthy Polack,
without a nerve in your body.Copy !req
1349. How can you possibly know
what anxiety feels like?Copy !req
1350. I am not a Polack!Copy !req
1351. People from Poland are Poles,
they are not Polacks!Copy !req
1352. But what I am
is 100 percent American!Copy !req
1353. I'm born and raised in the greatest
country on earth and I'm proud of it!Copy !req
1354. - And don't you ever call me a Polack!
- That's for me, I'm sure!Copy !req
1355. Just keep your seat.
I'm not so sure.Copy !req
1356. - Hello.
Stanley?Copy !req
1357. - Yeah, Mac.
- Listen, Stanley...Copy !req
1358. Take your hands off me, Stella.
What's the matter with you?Copy !req
1359. - Why do you give me that pitying look?
Will you shut up!Copy !req
1360. No, we got a noisy woman in the place.Copy !req
1361. I told you I don't want to bowl at Riley's.
I had a little trouble with Riley last week.Copy !req
1362. I'm the team captain, ain't I? All right.
Then we're not gonna bowl at Riley's.Copy !req
1363. We're gonna bowl at the West Side
or at the Gate, and I'll see you.Copy !req
1364. Sister Blanche...Copy !req
1365. I got a little birthday
remembrance for you.Copy !req
1366. I hope that you like it.Copy !req
1367. - Why, it's a...
- That's a bus ticket back to Auriol.Copy !req
1368. Tuesday.Copy !req
1369. Blanche.Copy !req
1370. You didn't need to do that.Copy !req
1371. Don't forget all that I took off of her.Copy !req
1372. You didn't need to be so cruel
to someone as alone as she is.Copy !req
1373. - A delicate article, she is.
- She is. She was.Copy !req
1374. You didn't know Blanche as a girl.Copy !req
1375. Nobody, nobody was as tender
and as trusting as she was.Copy !req
1376. But people like you abused her
and forced her to change.Copy !req
1377. - Do you think you're going bowling now?
- That's right.Copy !req
1378. You're not going bowling.
Why did you do this to her?Copy !req
1379. Let go of me.Copy !req
1380. I want to know why!Copy !req
1381. Hey, cool it!Copy !req
1382. Listen, baby, when we first met,
you and me, you thought I was common.Copy !req
1383. Well, how right you was.
I was common as dirt.Copy !req
1384. You showed me a snapshot
of a place with columns...Copy !req
1385. and I pulled you down off them
columns and you loved it.Copy !req
1386. Having them colored lights going.Copy !req
1387. And wasn't we happy together?
Wasn't it all okay till she showed here?Copy !req
1388. Huh? Wasn't we happy together?
Wasn't it all okay till she showed here?Copy !req
1389. Hoity-toity, describing me like a ape.Copy !req
1390. Stella?Copy !req
1391. What's the matter with you?Copy !req
1392. Honey, what's the matter with you?Copy !req
1393. Honey, did I hurt you?Copy !req
1394. Baby, what is it?Copy !req
1395. Take me to the hospital.Copy !req
1396. Who is it, please?Copy !req
1397. It's me. Me, Mitch.Copy !req
1398. Mitch.Copy !req
1399. Just a minute, please.Copy !req
1400. Coming. Coming.Copy !req
1401. Hello, Mitch.Copy !req
1402. You know, I really shouldn't let you in
after the treatment I received from you.Copy !req
1403. So utterly uncavalier.
But, hello, beautiful.Copy !req
1404. Oh, my, my, what a cold shoulder.
And what uncouth apparel.Copy !req
1405. Why, you haven't even shaved.Copy !req
1406. But I forgive you,
because it's a relief to see you.Copy !req
1407. You stopped that polka tune
I had in my head.Copy !req
1408. Ever get anything caught in your head?Copy !req
1409. Of course not, you never get
anything awful caught in your head.Copy !req
1410. - We have to have that fan on?
- No.Copy !req
1411. - I don't like fans.
- Well, let's turn it off, honey.Copy !req
1412. I'm not partial to them.Copy !req
1413. I don't know what there is to drink,
I haven't investigated.Copy !req
1414. - I don't want Stan's liquor.
- It isn't Stan's!Copy !req
1415. Some things on the premises
are actually mine.Copy !req
1416. How's your mother?Copy !req
1417. - Is your mother well?
- Why?Copy !req
1418. Something the matter with you.
But never mind.Copy !req
1419. I won't cross-examine the witness, I'll just
pretend I didn't notice anything different.Copy !req
1420. It's that music again.Copy !req
1421. What music?Copy !req
1422. The polka tune they were playing
when Allan...Copy !req
1423. Wait.Copy !req
1424. There...Copy !req
1425. the shot.Copy !req
1426. It always stops after that.Copy !req
1427. Yes.Copy !req
1428. Now it's stopped.Copy !req
1429. Are you boxed out of your mind?Copy !req
1430. Oh, I'll go and see what I can
find in the way of...Copy !req
1431. By the way, forgive me not being
dressed. I'd practically given you up.Copy !req
1432. Had you forgotten your invitation?Copy !req
1433. I wasn't going
to see you anymore.Copy !req
1434. Wait, I can't hear what you're saying.Copy !req
1435. You talk so seldom,
when you do say anything...Copy !req
1436. I don't want to miss
a single syllable of it.Copy !req
1437. What am I looking for around here?
Oh, yes. The liquor.Copy !req
1438. We've had so much excitement,
I am boxed out of my mind.Copy !req
1439. Here's something.Copy !req
1440. "Southern Cheer."Copy !req
1441. What can that be, I wonder?Copy !req
1442. Take your foot off the bed.
It has a clean cover on it.Copy !req
1443. You boys wouldn't notice
a thing like that.Copy !req
1444. - I've done so much to this place since I...
- Aren't you leaving here pretty soon?Copy !req
1445. I wonder if this ought to be
mixed with something.Copy !req
1446. Mmm. It's sweet, terribly sweet.
Why, I believe it's a liqueur.Copy !req
1447. Heh, heh, heh. Yes, that's what it is,
a liqueur. I don't think you'll like it, but try it.Copy !req
1448. - Maybe you will.
- I told you before...Copy !req
1449. I don't want any of his liquor,
and I mean it.Copy !req
1450. He says you been lapping it up
all summer like a wildcat.Copy !req
1451. I won't descend to the level
of such a cheap accusation to answer...Copy !req
1452. What's in your mind?Copy !req
1453. - I see something in your eyes.
- It's dark in here.Copy !req
1454. I like the dark.
The dark is comforting to me.Copy !req
1455. I've never seen you in the light.
That's a fact.Copy !req
1456. I've never seen you in the afternoon.Copy !req
1457. I met you
at the plant in the afternoon.Copy !req
1458. Not on Sunday afternoon!Copy !req
1459. You never wanna go out till after 6, then
it's always someplace not lighted much.Copy !req
1460. Some obscure meaning
in this I fail to catch.Copy !req
1461. What it means is I've never had
a real good look at you.Copy !req
1462. - Let's turn the light on.
- Light? What for?Copy !req
1463. This one here with
this paper thing on it.Copy !req
1464. - What did you want to do that for?
- So I can see you, good and plain.Copy !req
1465. You don't really mean to be insulting.Copy !req
1466. No, just realistic.Copy !req
1467. - I don't want realism. I want magic.
- Magic.Copy !req
1468. Yes, yes, magic.Copy !req
1469. I try to give that to people. I do
misrepresent things, I don't tell truth.Copy !req
1470. I tell what ought to be truth and if that
is sinful, then let me be punished for it.Copy !req
1471. Don't turn the light on!Copy !req
1472. Oh, I don't mind you
being older than what I thought...Copy !req
1473. but all the rest of it.Copy !req
1474. Why, that pitch about
your ideals being so old-fashioned...Copy !req
1475. and all the malarkey that
you've been dishing out all summer.Copy !req
1476. I knew you weren't 16, but I was
fool enough to believe you was straight!Copy !req
1477. Who told you I wasn't straight?
My loving brother-in-law?Copy !req
1478. - And you believed him?
- No!Copy !req
1479. No, I called him a liar at first
and then I checked on the story.Copy !req
1480. I talked over long distance
to this merchant in Auriol.Copy !req
1481. - Who is this merchant?
- Kiefaber.Copy !req
1482. The merchant Kiefaber of Auriol.
I know the man. He whistled at me.Copy !req
1483. I put him in his place.
Now he makes up stories about me.Copy !req
1484. Didn't you stay at a hotel
called the Flamingo?Copy !req
1485. Flamingo? No!Copy !req
1486. Tarantula was the name of it.Copy !req
1487. - I stayed at a hotel called Tarantula Arms.
- Tarantula Arms?Copy !req
1488. Yes, a big spider. That's where
I brought my victims.Copy !req
1489. Yes.Copy !req
1490. I have had many meetings
with strangers.Copy !req
1491. After the death of Allan...Copy !req
1492. meetings with strangers was all I
seemed able to fill my empty heart with.Copy !req
1493. I think it was panic, just panic...Copy !req
1494. that drove me from one to another,
searching for some protection.Copy !req
1495. Here, there, and then
in the most unlikely places.Copy !req
1496. Even, at last, in a 17-year-old boy.
But somebody wrote the superintendent:Copy !req
1497. "This woman is morally unfit
for her position."Copy !req
1498. True?Copy !req
1499. Yes.Copy !req
1500. Unfit somehow, anyway.Copy !req
1501. So I came here.
There was nowhere else I could go.Copy !req
1502. I was played out.
You know what played out is?Copy !req
1503. My youth was gone up the waterspout.Copy !req
1504. Then I met you.Copy !req
1505. You said you needed someone.Copy !req
1506. Well, I needed someone too.Copy !req
1507. I thanked God for you.Copy !req
1508. You seemed gentle.Copy !req
1509. A cleft...Copy !req
1510. in the rock of the world
that I could hide in.Copy !req
1511. But I suppose I was asking...Copy !req
1512. hoping too much.Copy !req
1513. Kiefaber...Copy !req
1514. Harris and Shaw have tied an old tin
can to the tail of the kite.Copy !req
1515. I thought you were straight.Copy !req
1516. Straight?Copy !req
1517. What's straight?Copy !req
1518. A line can be straight, or a street...Copy !req
1519. but the heart of a human being?Copy !req
1520. - You lied to me, Blanche.
- Don't say I lied to you.Copy !req
1521. - Lies! Lies! Inside and out, all lies!
- Never inside.Copy !req
1522. I never lied in my heart!Copy !req
1523. What?Copy !req
1524. From outside.Copy !req
1525. Flowers.
Flowers for the dead.Copy !req
1526. No.Copy !req
1527. Not now.Copy !req
1528. I lived in a house where dying
old women remembered their dead men.Copy !req
1529. Crumble, then fade.Copy !req
1530. Regrets, recriminations.Copy !req
1531. "If you'd done this,
it wouldn't have cost me that."Copy !req
1532. Legacies...Copy !req
1533. and other things...Copy !req
1534. such as bloodstained pillowslips.Copy !req
1535. I used to sit here...Copy !req
1536. and she used to sit there.Copy !req
1537. And death was as close as you are.Copy !req
1538. Death.Copy !req
1539. The opposite is desire.Copy !req
1540. So how could you wonder?Copy !req
1541. How could you possibly wonder?Copy !req
1542. Not far from Belle Reve,
before we lost Belle Reve...Copy !req
1543. was a camp
where they trained young soldiers.Copy !req
1544. On Saturday nights,
they would go in town to get drunk.Copy !req
1545. And on the way back, they would
stagger onto my lawn and call:Copy !req
1546. "Blanche."Copy !req
1547. What do you want?Copy !req
1548. Marry me, Mitch.Copy !req
1549. No, I don't think
I want to marry you anymore.Copy !req
1550. No?Copy !req
1551. No. You're not clean enough
to bring in the house with my mom...Copy !req
1552. Go, then!Copy !req
1553. Get out of here.Copy !req
1554. Quick, before I start screaming.Copy !req
1555. Get out of here quick,
before I start screaming!Copy !req
1556. Screaming! Screaming!Copy !req
1557. Are you all right, lady?Copy !req
1558. What's the matter, lady?Copy !req
1559. She must be drunk.
Somebody better get a policeman.Copy !req
1560. There's a cop now.Copy !req
1561. What happened?
I don't know.Copy !req
1562. It's a police officer. Open up.Copy !req
1563. Open up in there.Copy !req
1564. It's a police officer, open up.Copy !req
1565. What's the matter? Are you hurt, lady?Copy !req
1566. Are you all right, lady?Copy !req
1567. Yes. Go away.Copy !req
1568. - Go on.
Are you hurt?Copy !req
1569. - Are you all right?
I'll be good.Copy !req
1570. It's all right. Let's break it up.Copy !req
1571. I'll be good.Copy !req
1572. I'll be good. I'll be good.Copy !req
1573. Oh, no, my gracious. What a thing.Copy !req
1574. How about taking a swim,
a moonlight swim at the old rock quarry?Copy !req
1575. That's if anyone's sober enough
to drive a car.Copy !req
1576. The best way in the world
to stop your head from buzzing.Copy !req
1577. Only you have to be careful to dive
where the deep pool is.Copy !req
1578. If you hit a rock, you won't come up
till tomorrow. Heh, heh.Copy !req
1579. My goodness. They're playing
"Goodnight, Ladies."Copy !req
1580. May I rest my weary head
on your shoulder?Copy !req
1581. It's so...Copy !req
1582. comforting.Copy !req
1583. Hi, Blanche.Copy !req
1584. - How's my sister?
- She's doing okay.Copy !req
1585. How's the baby?Copy !req
1586. The baby won't come till tomorrow,
so they told me to get a little shuteye.Copy !req
1587. Does that mean...Copy !req
1588. we are to be alone in here?Copy !req
1589. Yeah, it's just you and me, Blanche.Copy !req
1590. Hey, what do you got
them fine feathers on for?Copy !req
1591. Oh. That's right.
You left before my wire came.Copy !req
1592. What, you got a wire?Copy !req
1593. I received a telegram
from an old admirer of mine.Copy !req
1594. - Anything good?
- I think so. An invitation.Copy !req
1595. What to?Copy !req
1596. A cruise of the Caribbean on a yacht.Copy !req
1597. Well, what do you know?Copy !req
1598. I was never so surprised in my life.
It came like a bolt from the blue.Copy !req
1599. Who'd you say it was from?Copy !req
1600. An old beau of mine.Copy !req
1601. Oh, the one that give you
the white fox fur pieces.Copy !req
1602. Shep Huntleigh.Copy !req
1603. I wore his ATO pin
my last year in college.Copy !req
1604. I hadn't seen him for a while,
then just now this wire...Copy !req
1605. inviting me on a cruise of the
Caribbean. The problem is clothes.Copy !req
1606. I tore into my trunk to see what I had
that was suitable for the tropics.Copy !req
1607. And you come up
with a gorgeous diamond tiara.Copy !req
1608. This old relic? It's only rhinestones.Copy !req
1609. Oh, I thought it was
Tiffany's diamonds.Copy !req
1610. Well, anyhow,
I shall be entertained in style.Copy !req
1611. Well, it just goes to show you,
Blanche, you never know what's coming.Copy !req
1612. When I thought my luck
was beginning to fail me.Copy !req
1613. Into the picture
pops this Miami millionaire.Copy !req
1614. This man is not from Miami.
This man is from Dallas.Copy !req
1615. Just so he's from somewhere.Copy !req
1616. Close the curtains
before you undress any further.Copy !req
1617. No, this is all
I'm gonna undress right now.Copy !req
1618. Hey, Blanche,
you seen the bottle opener?Copy !req
1619. I used to have a cousin who could open
a bottle of beer with his teeth.Copy !req
1620. And that was all he could do.
He was just a human bottle-opener.Copy !req
1621. Then one time at a wedding party,
he broke his front teeth right off.Copy !req
1622. And then after that,
he was so ashamed of himself...Copy !req
1623. that he used to sneak out of the house
when company came.Copy !req
1624. Rain from heaven.Copy !req
1625. What do you say, Blanche? You want to
bury the hatchet and make a loving cup?Copy !req
1626. No. No, thank you.Copy !req
1627. - Why don't you get with it?
- What are you doing in here?Copy !req
1628. Hey, wait a second.
I want to show you something.Copy !req
1629. Here's something I always break out
on special occasions:Copy !req
1630. Silk pajamas I wore
on my wedding night.Copy !req
1631. When they call on that phone
and say, "You got a son"...Copy !req
1632. I'm gonna rip them off
and wave them like a flag!Copy !req
1633. I guess we're both entitled
to put on a dog.Copy !req
1634. You're having an oil millionaire
and I'm having the baby.Copy !req
1635. When I think of how divine it'll be to
have such a thing as privacy once more...Copy !req
1636. I could weep with joy.Copy !req
1637. This millionaire isn't gonna interfere
with your privacy none?Copy !req
1638. It won't be the sort of thing
you have in mind.Copy !req
1639. This man is a gentleman.
He respects me.Copy !req
1640. What he wants is my companionship.Copy !req
1641. Having great wealth
sometimes makes people lonely.Copy !req
1642. A cultivated woman,
a woman of breeding and intelligence...Copy !req
1643. can enrich a man's life immeasurably.
I have those things to offer.Copy !req
1644. And time doesn't take them away.Copy !req
1645. Physical beauty is passing,
a transitory possession.Copy !req
1646. But beauty of the mind, richness
of the spirit, tenderness of the heart...Copy !req
1647. I have all those things... . Aren't taken
away, but grow, increase with the years.Copy !req
1648. Oh.Copy !req
1649. Strange that I should be called
a destitute woman...Copy !req
1650. when I have all these treasures
locked in my heart.Copy !req
1651. I think of myself as a very,
very rich woman.Copy !req
1652. But I have been foolish,
casting my pearls before...Copy !req
1653. Swine, huh?Copy !req
1654. Yes. Swine.Copy !req
1655. And I'm thinking not only of you but
of Mr. Mitchell. He came here tonight.Copy !req
1656. He dared to come in his work clothes to
repeat slander, vicious stories from you.Copy !req
1657. I gave him his walking papers.Copy !req
1658. But then he returned. He returned with
a box of roses to beg my forgiveness.Copy !req
1659. He implored my forgiveness.Copy !req
1660. But some things are not forgivable.Copy !req
1661. Deliberate cruelty is not forgivable!Copy !req
1662. It is one unforgivable thing,
in my opinion...Copy !req
1663. and the one thing
of which I have never...Copy !req
1664. never been guilty.Copy !req
1665. So I said to him, "Thank you.Copy !req
1666. It was foolish of me to think that
we could adapt ourselves to each other.Copy !req
1667. Our ways of life are too different,
our backgrounds are incompatible.Copy !req
1668. So farewell, my friend,
and let there be no hard feelings."Copy !req
1669. Was this before or after
you got the telegram?Copy !req
1670. Telegram? What telegram?Copy !req
1671. - Heh. As a matter of fact, my wire...
- As a matter of fact...Copy !req
1672. there wasn't no wire at all.Copy !req
1673. And there isn't no millionaire.Copy !req
1674. And Mitch didn't come in here with
roses, because I know where he is.Copy !req
1675. And there isn't a thing but imagination
and lies and deceit and tricks.Copy !req
1676. And look at yourself.Copy !req
1677. Take a look at yourself here,
in a worn-out Mardi Gras outfit.Copy !req
1678. Rented for 50 cents from some
rag picker with a crazy crown on.Copy !req
1679. What kind of a queen
do you think you are?Copy !req
1680. You know that I've been on to you
from the start...Copy !req
1681. and not once did you pull the wool
over this boy's eyes.Copy !req
1682. You come here and sprinkle the place
with powder and you spray perfume...Copy !req
1683. and stick a paper lantern
over the light bulb.Copy !req
1684. And lo and behold,
place is turned into Egypt...Copy !req
1685. and you're the queen of the Nile,
sitting on your throne...Copy !req
1686. swilling down my liquor.
You know what I say?Copy !req
1687. Ha-ha!Copy !req
1688. You hear me?Copy !req
1689. Ha-ha-ha!Copy !req
1690. Flowers.Copy !req
1691. No.Copy !req
1692. Not now.Copy !req
1693. Operator.
- What happened to long distance?Copy !req
1694. Never mind long distance.
Get me Western Union.Copy !req
1695. Western Union? Hear me?
Take down this message:Copy !req
1696. "Desperate, desperate circumstances.Copy !req
1697. Caught in a trap. Help me.
Caught in a trap."Copy !req
1698. Hello? Operator.
I can give you Western Union now.Copy !req
1699. Western Union.Copy !req
1700. Hello? Western Union.Copy !req
1701. This is Western Union.Copy !req
1702. Hello.Copy !req
1703. You left the phone
off the hook, Blanche.Copy !req
1704. This is Western Union.Copy !req
1705. What?Copy !req
1706. Let me...Copy !req
1707. Let me get by you.Copy !req
1708. You wanna get by me? Go ahead.Copy !req
1709. Stand over there.Copy !req
1710. You got plenty of room
to get by me now.Copy !req
1711. I've got to get out. Somehow.Copy !req
1712. You think I'm gonna
interfere with you?Copy !req
1713. You know, maybe you won't be bad
to interfere with.Copy !req
1714. Stand back. Don't you come
toward me another step, or I'll...Copy !req
1715. - You'll what?
- Some awful thing will happen. It will!Copy !req
1716. What are you putting on now?Copy !req
1717. I warn you. Don't. I'm in danger!Copy !req
1718. What did you do that for?Copy !req
1719. So I could twist the broken end
in your face.Copy !req
1720. - I bet you would do that.
- I would. I will, if you...Copy !req
1721. Oh.Copy !req
1722. You wanna have
a little roughhouse, huh?Copy !req
1723. All right, let's have a little roughhouse.Copy !req
1724. Tiger, tiger. Drop that bottle top.
Drop it!Copy !req
1725. Oh, inside straight, man!Copy !req
1726. Try it in English, mustache.Copy !req
1727. I'm cursing your rotten luck.
- You know what luck is?Copy !req
1728. Luck is believing you're lucky,
that's all.Copy !req
1729. Take at Salerno. I believed I was lucky.
I figured that four out of five...Copy !req
1730. wasn't gonna get through
but I would, and I did.Copy !req
1731. I stick that down as a rule: To hold
the front position in this rat race...Copy !req
1732. you gotta believe you're lucky.Copy !req
1733. - You... You... You brag... Brag bull!
- What's the matter with you?Copy !req
1734. I always said men was callous things
with no feeling, but this beats anything.Copy !req
1735. - Sitting there making pigs of yourselves.
- What's the matter with her?Copy !req
1736. Come on, deal.Copy !req
1737. Blanche?
Bathing.Copy !req
1738. How's my baby?Copy !req
1739. Sleeping like a little angel.
I brought you some grapes.Copy !req
1740. - How is she?
- She wouldn't eat anything.Copy !req
1741. I keep telling her we made arrangements
for her to rest in the country.Copy !req
1742. She's got it all mixed-up in her mind
about a cruise to the islands...Copy !req
1743. with Shep Huntleigh, an old beau...
Stella?Copy !req
1744. Yes?
- If anyone calls while I'm bathing...Copy !req
1745. take the number,
tell them I'll call right back.Copy !req
1746. - Yes, Blanche.
- Oh, and Stella.Copy !req
1747. The... The cool yellow silk, the bouclé,
see if it's crushed.Copy !req
1748. If it's not too crushed, I'll wear it.
And on the lapel...Copy !req
1749. that silver and turquoise pin
in the shape of a seahorse.Copy !req
1750. You'll find it in the heart-shaped box
I keep my accessories in.Copy !req
1751. Oh, and Stella, see if you can locate
a bunch of artificial...Copy !req
1752. violets in that box. I'll wear it with
the seahorse on the lapel of the jacket.Copy !req
1753. I just don't know
if I've done the right thing.Copy !req
1754. What else could you do?Copy !req
1755. I couldn't believe her story
and go on living with Stanley.Copy !req
1756. Don't you never believe it.
You gotta keep on going, baby.Copy !req
1757. No matter what happens,
we all gotta keep on going.Copy !req
1758. Stella?
- Yes, Blanche?Copy !req
1759. - Is the coast clear?
Yes, honey.Copy !req
1760. Close the curtains before I come out.Copy !req
1761. Tell her how well she's looking.Copy !req
1762. They're closed, honey.Copy !req
1763. I just washed my hair.Copy !req
1764. - Oh, did you?
- I'm not sure I got all the soap out.Copy !req
1765. Such fine hair.
- That's the problem.Copy !req
1766. - Did I get a call?
- Who from?Copy !req
1767. - Shep Huntleigh.
- No, honey, not yet.Copy !req
1768. - Strange.
Come on, Mitch.Copy !req
1769. Mitch?Copy !req
1770. Oh.Copy !req
1771. What's happened here?Copy !req
1772. I want an explanation
of what's happened here!Copy !req
1773. - Hush, please, Blanche.
Honey...Copy !req
1774. What are you two
looking at me like that for?Copy !req
1775. Is there something wrong with me?Copy !req
1776. You look wonderful, Blanche.
Don't she look wonderful?Copy !req
1777. - I understand you're going on a trip.
- Yes.Copy !req
1778. Yes. Blanche is.
She's going on a vacation.Copy !req
1779. I'm green with envy.Copy !req
1780. Help me, you two.
Help me get dressed.Copy !req
1781. Is this what you wanted?
Yes, that'll do.Copy !req
1782. I'm anxious to get out of this place.
This place is a trap.Copy !req
1783. - Such a pretty lavender jacket.
- It's lilac-colored.Copy !req
1784. You're, both of you, wrong.
It's Della Robbia blue.Copy !req
1785. Are these grapes washed?Copy !req
1786. - Washed, I said. Are they washed?
- From the French Market.Copy !req
1787. That doesn't mean to say
they've been washed.Copy !req
1788. The cathedral chimes.
They're the only...Copy !req
1789. clean thing in the Quarter.Copy !req
1790. - I'm going now. I'm ready to go.
- She'll walk out before they get here.Copy !req
1791. Wait, Blanche!Copy !req
1792. Must we pass in front of those men?Copy !req
1793. Why don't you wait here
till that game breaks up.Copy !req
1794. Yes, honey, sit down.Copy !req
1795. Tell them to wait outside.Copy !req
1796. Would you mind waiting outside just a
couple of seconds? They'll be right out.Copy !req
1797. Someone is calling for Blanche.Copy !req
1798. It is for me, then.Copy !req
1799. Is it the gentleman
I was expecting from Dallas?Copy !req
1800. Yes.Copy !req
1801. Yes, honey, I believe it is.Copy !req
1802. Why...Copy !req
1803. I'm not quite ready.Copy !req
1804. Ask them to wait outside.Copy !req
1805. Everything packed?Copy !req
1806. Stanley.Copy !req
1807. She'll be out in a minute.Copy !req
1808. - They're waiting outside the house.
"They"?Copy !req
1809. Who's "they"?Copy !req
1810. There's a lady with him.Copy !req
1811. I can't imagine who this lady can be.Copy !req
1812. How is she dressed?Copy !req
1813. Just a plain tailored outfit.Copy !req
1814. Possibly she?Copy !req
1815. Shall we go now, Blanche?Copy !req
1816. - Must we go through that room?
- I'll go with you.Copy !req
1817. - How do I look?
- Lovely.Copy !req
1818. Lovely.Copy !req
1819. Please don't get up.
I'm only passing through.Copy !req
1820. You...Copy !req
1821. are not the gentleman...Copy !req
1822. I was expecting.Copy !req
1823. This man isn't Shep Huntleigh.Copy !req
1824. You forget something, Blanche?Copy !req
1825. Yes. Yes, I forgot something.Copy !req
1826. What are they gonna do to her?Copy !req
1827. Don't let them hurt her.Copy !req
1828. - What are they gonna do to her?
- Shh. Honey...Copy !req
1829. Hello, Blanche.Copy !req
1830. She says she forgot something.Copy !req
1831. That's all right.Copy !req
1832. Well, what did you forget, Blanche?Copy !req
1833. - It don't matter. We can pick it up later.
- We'll send it along with your trunk.Copy !req
1834. I don't know you.Copy !req
1835. - I want to be left alone, please!
- Now, Blanche...Copy !req
1836. Blanche, you left nothing here
but spilt talcum and old perfume bottles.Copy !req
1837. Unless it's the paper lantern you want to
take with you. You want the lantern?Copy !req
1838. You done this to her.Copy !req
1839. Come on, stop it.
Stop it, will you!Copy !req
1840. He did this to her, I know...Copy !req
1841. He must be nuts.Copy !req
1842. What are you looking at?Copy !req
1843. I never once touched her.Copy !req
1844. These fingernails have to be trimmed.
Jacket, doctor?Copy !req
1845. Not unless necessary.Copy !req
1846. Miss DuBois.Copy !req
1847. Please...Copy !req
1848. It won't be necessary.Copy !req
1849. Ask her...Copy !req
1850. to let go of me.Copy !req
1851. Yes. Let go.Copy !req
1852. Whoever you are...Copy !req
1853. I have always depended
on the kindness...Copy !req
1854. of strangers.Copy !req
1855. - Blanche.
Come on, honey.Copy !req
1856. Don't you touch me.
Don't you ever touch me again.Copy !req
1857. Stella!Copy !req
1858. Come on, Stella.Copy !req
1859. No, I'm not. I'm not going back
in there again. Not this time.Copy !req
