1. What are you doing
down there? Just standing there?
Copy !req
2. - Just filming the main room.
- Whiskers!
Copy !req
3. Well, did you know
that Whiskers has disappeared?
Copy !req
4. - A cat got out. I'm trying to get him in.
- Has he? Ah.
Copy !req
5. Yeah, we don't know how he got out.
I think he got out in that hole there.
Copy !req
6. - No, I knew they were coming, and I -
- I think he got out in that hole.
Copy !req
7. - He can jump up there.
- I knew they were coming and -
Copy !req
8. Yeah. No, he got out in that hole, Edie.
Copy !req
9. I put them all out. You told me to.
Copy !req
10. No, dearie, he got out in the hole, babe.
Copy !req
11. "Take the cats out," you said.
Copy !req
12. - Did you hear what I said, woman?
- What?
Copy !req
13. He got out in this hole here.
That was the noise we heard.
Copy !req
14. That raccoon did that to my new wall.
Isn't that terrible?
Copy !req
15. They'll have the whole house down soon.
Copy !req
16. Yeah, we'll be raided again.
Copy !req
17. We'll be raided again
by the village of East Hampton.
Copy !req
18. You know, they can get you
in East Hampton...
Copy !req
19. for wearing red shoes on a Thursday
and all that sort of thing.
Copy !req
20. I don't know whether you know that.
I mean, do you know that?
Copy !req
21. They can get you for almost anything.
Copy !req
22. - It's the Maysles!
- Hi, Edie.
Copy !req
23. - The gentlemen callers.
- I saw your car.
Copy !req
24. - One of my cats just got out.
- Edie, you look fantastic.
Copy !req
25. David, you look absolutely terrific.
Honestly.
Copy !req
26. You've got light -
You've got light blue on.
Copy !req
27. Well, Al, you're still -
Mother says you're very conservative.
Copy !req
28. Brooks, everything looks wonderful.
Copy !req
29. - Thank you.
- Absolutely wonderful.
Copy !req
30. This is the best thing to wear for the day.
You understand.
Copy !req
31. - Yeah.
- Because I don't like women in skirts...
Copy !req
32. and the best thing
is to wear panty hose or some pants...
Copy !req
33. under a short skirt, I think.
Copy !req
34. Then you have the pants under the skirt...
Copy !req
35. and then you can pull the stockings up
over the pants, underneath the skirt.
Copy !req
36. - Uh-huh.
- And you can always take off
the skirt and use it as a cape.
Copy !req
37. So I think this is the best
costume for the day.
Copy !req
38. Okay.
Copy !req
39. I have to think these things up, you know.
Copy !req
40. Mother wanted me to come out in a kimono,
so we had quite a fight.
Copy !req
41. So what did you do,
photograph Brooks cutting right down here?
Copy !req
42. - Yeah, I've been through the jungle.
- Oh, for goodness sakes.
Copy !req
43. What do you want to do now?
Where do you want to go? Upstairs?
Copy !req
44. Do you want to go up
and photograph it from the top porch?
Copy !req
45. - Okay. That's good.
- Okay.
Copy !req
46. They're gonna photograph
from the top now, Brooks.
Copy !req
47. It's a beautiful garden back here.
Copy !req
48. Did you see the wall garden?
Copy !req
49. - Oh, you mean the patio. You mean this.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
50. That's a Spanish wall garden
over there, you know.
Copy !req
51. - Oh, yes.
- The Hills put that in.
Copy !req
52. They imported everything from Rome.
Copy !req
53. Mrs. Hill, she was a famous horticulturist.
Copy !req
54. That was one of
the famous gardens of America.
Copy !req
55. Brooks, next summer, if we're all living...
Copy !req
56. I think a vegetable garden
would be a good thing in here.
Copy !req
57. You don't get enough sunlight in here.
Copy !req
58. Yeah, Mother says she doesn't mind if you
have to cut down some privet for the garden.
Copy !req
59. - Would be nice.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
60. Because food's going up.
We heard that on the radio last night.
Copy !req
61. Do you think my costume looked all right
for Brooks? I think he was a little amazed.
Copy !req
62. - He's probably seen it before.
- No, no. This is the revolutionary costume.
Copy !req
63. I never wear this in East Hampton.
Copy !req
64. He seems okay.
He seems like he can handle it.
Copy !req
65. You can't be too careful. Know what I mean?
Copy !req
66. That was the original living room.
Copy !req
67. You know, people go back to a kitchen now.
Copy !req
68. Though the washing machine
was always put in the maids' dining room.
Copy !req
69. You know, the washtubs
are in the maids' dining room.
Copy !req
70. Let's go up.
Copy !req
71. It's very difficult to keep the line
between the past and the present.
Copy !req
72. Do you know what I mean?
It's awfully difficult.
Copy !req
73. That is a beautiful ocean today, isn't it?
Copy !req
74. What color would you say that was?
Sort of sapphire?
Copy !req
75. I've never seen anything like that ocean.
Copy !req
76. The 50 years I've been here -
Copy !req
77. The best in 50 years.
Copy !req
78. Oh, Edie, are you around?
Copy !req
79. - Oh, Edie!
- I haven't been out of this damn horrible place...
Copy !req
80. in two years.
Copy !req
81. God, if you knew how I felt.
I'm ready to kill.
Copy !req
82. Well, they're not
going to take you to the beach.
Copy !req
83. - Brooks wants his - his check, Mother darling.
- All right, give me the -
Copy !req
84. - He's at the door.
- I told you I should do it now.
Copy !req
85. Twenty-four bucks for three cuttings.
Just a minute.
Copy !req
86. I told you - better bring the pen.
Copy !req
87. I locked all the cats away.
Copy !req
88. Don't be so mean.
They don't wanna be locked away.
Copy !req
89. The poor little kitties.
You know kitties adore sun.
Copy !req
90. I suppose I won't get out of here
till she dies or I die.
Copy !req
91. - Who's she? The cat?
- I don't know when I'm gonna get out of here.
Copy !req
92. - Why do you want to get out?
Another place'd be much worse.
- 'Cause I don't like it.
Copy !req
93. - Any place will be much worse.
- Here.
Copy !req
94. - Any place on Earth.
- Yeah, but I like freedom.
Copy !req
95. Well, you can't get it, darling.
You're being supported.
Copy !req
96. - You can't get any freedom
when you're being supported.
- Yeah, but -
Copy !req
97. - You can't?
- No, you can't.
Copy !req
98. - I think you're not free
when you're not being supported.
- You have to toe the mark.
Copy !req
99. - It's awful both ways.
- Well, you don't look it.
Copy !req
100. You look very young for 56 years of age.
Copy !req
101. Don't you remember what you told me -
Copy !req
102. - I'd just like a couple of days
on the beach, that's all.
- What was it you told me?
Copy !req
103. - Twenty-four bucks.
- You don't have to scream that out.
Copy !req
104. When are you gonna learn, Edie?
You're in this world, you know.
Copy !req
105. You're not out of the world.
Copy !req
106. Let's see if I can remember the date.
Is it the 12th today?
Copy !req
107. - Well, there are certain compensations, I guess.
- Is it the 12th today?
Copy !req
108. The old woman, she has to
remember everything, you know that.
Copy !req
109. I think this is correct.
Copy !req
110. Brooks Hiers. H-I-E-R-S.
Copy !req
111. - Oh, I didn't think it was necessary.
- Yes.
Copy !req
112. Why didn't you let me do this in the
house for? Why did you make me do it here?
Copy !req
113. Mother, you don't have enough clothes on.
Copy !req
114. Well, I hope - I'm gonna get naked
in just a minute, so you better watch out.
Copy !req
115. - That's what I'm afraid of.
- Yeah, for what? Now, why?
Copy !req
116. - I haven't got any warts on me.
- But the movie, the movie.
Copy !req
117. - I haven't got any warts on me.
- That isn't the point, Mother darling.
Copy !req
118. Well, you know where you got,
being like that.
Copy !req
119. No husband, no babies, nothing.
Copy !req
120. I can't help it.
I like to wear certain things.
Copy !req
121. - Is that H-Y-E-R? H-Y?
- She likes everything without girdles.
Copy !req
122. - H-Y, Edie, or H-I?
- H-Y-E-R-S.
Copy !req
123. - H-Y?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
124. She and Marjorie don't believe
in wearing girdles.
Copy !req
125. I haven't worn a girdle
since I was 12 years old. Here you are.
Copy !req
126. Mother has certain ideas about, uh -
Copy !req
127. - I certainly have certain ideas
about living a long time.
- About clothes.
Copy !req
128. That's what I got ideas about.
Copy !req
129. It's very hard to live nowadays.
Living is very difficult.
Copy !req
130. "The Libra husband
is not an easy man to please.
Copy !req
131. The monotony of domesticity
is not to his liking...
Copy !req
132. but he is a passionate man
and a respecter of tradition."
Copy !req
133. All I have to do is find this Libra man.
Copy !req
134. "The Libra husband is reasonable.
Copy !req
135. He is a born judge...
Copy !req
136. and no other zodiacal type...
Copy !req
137. can... order his life...
Copy !req
138. with so much wisdom."
Copy !req
139. My God! That's all I need - order.
Copy !req
140. That's all I need - an ordered life.
Copy !req
141. You know, a manager.
Copy !req
142. But he's got to be a Libran.
Copy !req
143. Hello.
Copy !req
144. Yeah?
Copy !req
145. - That sounds like Jerry.
- Oh, is that Jerry? For goodness sakes.
Copy !req
146. What are you doing?
Copy !req
147. Jerry, you're Aquarius, aren't you?
Copy !req
148. - Yeah.
- That's what I saw when I met you, Jerry.
Copy !req
149. - Remember I said The Marble Faun,
and it was terrible.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
150. Terrible, the tragedy connected...
Copy !req
151. with The Marble Faun.
Copy !req
152. You know, I call Jerry "The Marble Faun."
Copy !req
153. Nathaniel Hawthorne.
Copy !req
154. - Yeah.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
155. Do you have that book here, Edie?
Copy !req
156. I haven't been able to find it.
Copy !req
157. If you run across it, I'd like to read it.
Copy !req
158. It's very deep. I don't know whether you -
Well, I guess you're up to it.
Copy !req
159. They used to have it on all the, uh -
Copy !req
160. I think it was on the high school
reading list. The Marble Faun.
Copy !req
161. "The Libra husband does not seek divorce...
Copy !req
162. unless the conditions of his life...
Copy !req
163. are not adjustable."
Copy !req
164. I don't believe in divorce at all.
Copy !req
165. - I think divorce -
- Was your mother divorced or no?
Copy !req
166. - No.
- Separated.
Copy !req
167. Yes, and then my father got a -
got a fake Mexican divorce...
Copy !req
168. and he... did have, you know,
what he called another wife.
Copy !req
169. But we didn't recognize it. It wasn't
recognized by the Catholic Church.
Copy !req
170. They don't recognize it, you know.
Copy !req
171. Say, are you
bossing me around, Edie? All afternoon?
Copy !req
172. - I think that's terrific.
- Oh, Edie, it's not the best one.
Copy !req
173. This is the worst one
of my wedding pictures.
Copy !req
174. The others look worse.
Copy !req
175. I was gonna be a singer,
you know. A professional singer.
Copy !req
176. When I met Mr. Beale, the jig was up.
Copy !req
177. Do you remember this?
Copy !req
178. - May I see that, please?
- The villain of the piece.
Copy !req
179. "To my best friend and
most delightful comrade...
Copy !req
180. to my only sweetheart and wonderful wife...
Copy !req
181. I tender this likeness of her husband.
Copy !req
182. Phelan Beale, 1929."
Copy !req
183. - So we did love each other.
- Did I laugh when I read that.
Copy !req
184. Aren't kids terrible? I just roared.
Copy !req
185. When the people don't speak,
they never get divorced.
Copy !req
186. - You just can't tell.
- I've been a very happy woman all my life.
Copy !req
187. Shall I tell them about Gould?
Copy !req
188. Gould was mother's accompanist.
Copy !req
189. He was a boogie-woogie composer
who had the most terrific style.
Copy !req
190. He was the
most brilliant man I've ever met.
Copy !req
191. That's including Mr. Beale and Mr. Bouvier.
Copy !req
192. Completely brilliant.
Copy !req
193. This is cute, Mother.
Copy !req
194. I like that very much. Don't you, David?
Copy !req
195. You said Michelle Beale stole this,
didn't you, Edie?
Copy !req
196. I never did. She'd never do that.
Copy !req
197. See how fat I was, Edie?
Copy !req
198. Did I look like a good mother?
Copy !req
199. Was I a good mother?
Copy !req
200. - It looks like it.
- What? Looks like it.
Copy !req
201. I didn't starve my children, did I? What?
Copy !req
202. Fed 'em. Fed 'em well.
Copy !req
203. They were very nice
children. I enjoyed them tremendously.
Copy !req
204. I'm crazy about my two sons,
absolutely mad about them.
Copy !req
205. - Who's the little girl?
- That's me.
Copy !req
206. Well, the boys were -
were not hard to handle at all.
Copy !req
207. - They were very easy to handle.
- Oh, my mother never saw my brothers.
Copy !req
208. I saw them every minute,
every single minute.
Copy !req
209. - Oh, they never got any discipline, my brothers.
- They didn't need it.
Copy !req
210. - They were absolutely perfect.
- They never got any discipline.
Copy !req
211. This was taken with
a tiny little Kodak No. 2. That was.
Copy !req
212. Kodak No. 2.
Cost two dollars, that camera.
Copy !req
213. - Mother, I'm mad about these pictures of you.
- Oh, no, don't take those.
Copy !req
214. - We'll just put them right over here.
- Oh, no, I want those out.
Copy !req
215. - Will you give me those, please?
- No, you can't have them.
Copy !req
216. I want them, Edie. I will never see
them again. Now, I want those pictures.
Copy !req
217. - I want those pictures, Edie.
- You can't expose them to the light in here.
Copy !req
218. No, give me those pictures.
I don't want to ask 67 times.
Copy !req
219. - Come on.
- I want to show that to Al.
Copy !req
220. - No, I want -
- I wanna show it to Al!
Copy !req
221. - It's my picture.
- Look what you made me do.
Copy !req
222. Well, you did it. Look what she did.
Copy !req
223. - Mrs. Beale had a classical face.
I want you to see this.
- Look at what she did.
Copy !req
224. - Look. Very few people have this.
- Don't touch that!
Copy !req
225. Al, I want you to see this.
Copy !req
226. Now look, this is my mother.
Copy !req
227. There's British blood,
maybe Jewish, I don't know.
Copy !req
228. In the Leaman family, I'm not sure.
Copy !req
229. - I don't want that photographed.
- Scotch blood - the Ewings.
Copy !req
230. Imagine showing all those horrible things
I don't want you to show.
Copy !req
231. The Ewing clan's in there.
Copy !req
232. But it's just a girl
from a good French family.
Copy !req
233. It's a very beautiful face.
Copy !req
234. I lived alone at
least 30 years. I-I didn't mind.
Copy !req
235. You get very independent
when you live alone.
Copy !req
236. You get to be a real individual.
Copy !req
237. - You can't have your cake and eat it too in life.
- Oh, yes, I did. I did.
Copy !req
238. I had my cake, loved it, masticated it,
chewed it and had everything I wanted.
Copy !req
239. You can't have your cake and eat it too.
Copy !req
240. I had a very, very happy, satisfying life.
Copy !req
241. Well, you had a rich husband.
You should have stayed with him.
Copy !req
242. - Now you might as well face it.
- What! For money?
Copy !req
243. - She was bored.
- Why, I was not. I was a great singer.
Copy !req
244. I had a perfect marriage,
beautiful children.
Copy !req
245. Terribly successful marriage.
Never had a fight in my life.
Copy !req
246. I never threw anything at Mr. Beale. Never.
Copy !req
247. They threw the bull around, as they say.
Copy !req
248. No, I never had any words
with Mr. Beale at all.
Copy !req
249. I came down here to live in this - in this
house because I did all my singing here.
Copy !req
250. I was so happy. I was happier
going out and singing...
Copy !req
251. than anything I've ever done
since I was born.
Copy !req
252. I liked it better than anything I ever did.
Copy !req
253. - I can't find it, Mother.
- Well, you could let me help you.
Copy !req
254. - Let me -
- Listen, kid. I'm extremely organized.
Copy !req
255. I know exactly where
to look for this stuff.
Copy !req
256. I've got it under control right here,
but I can't find it.
Copy !req
257. Get it?
Copy !req
258. Well, bring in the -
bring in the orchestration...
Copy !req
259. of "Tea for Two."
Copy !req
260. I can't do it. My feet hurt.
Copy !req
261. Just try, babe. They're beautiful.
Copy !req
262. I have to get my voice exactly back
the way it was when I was 45 years old.
Copy !req
263. - You can't, Mother darling.
- Oh, yes, I can. Oh, yes!
Copy !req
264. - Something happens, face it.
- I never strained my voice ever in my life.
Copy !req
265. - Oh, but I strain my voice
from yelling and screaming.
- I've never smoked cigarettes.
Copy !req
266. - What is the matter with me?
I could never speak again.
- Oh, no.
Copy !req
267. Why, I can get it back in about a month,
just about. You know, good hard work.
Copy !req
268. Gould and Mother made this record in 1934.
Copy !req
269. - Sing it, babe. Just sing it.
- He was Mother's accompanist.
Copy !req
270. Oh, my heart, what happened?
Copy !req
271. - That's pretty, that note.
- Terrific.
Copy !req
272. Oh, that's terrible.
Copy !req
273. Oh, I see. It repeats.
Copy !req
274. Yes, that's very important, that last.
Copy !req
275. - That's the "cazenza,"cadenza,"
whatever you call it.
- "Could I Be in Love."
Copy !req
276. Do you want that?
Aren't you mad about your record?
Copy !req
277. I was very serious
about my singing. Loved it.
Copy !req
278. After you hear that,
you realize nothing is -
Copy !req
279. - Important.
- No, it isn't. Nothing.
Copy !req
280. Well, my mother, you know,
she gave me the right slant on my voice.
Copy !req
281. She told me to leave everything,
to leave everything.
Copy !req
282. No man could compete
against Mrs. Beale and Gould.
Copy !req
283. - We were pretty good.
- No man in the world.
Copy !req
284. Well, I worked hard.
I wish you would play "Laura."
Copy !req
285. Imagine bothering about anything
when she had a talent like that?
Copy !req
286. Well, I had to take care of this house.
I lived on no money.
Copy !req
287. - You were able to
save the house on account of me.
- Yeah, I think that -
Copy !req
288. I didn't want to live in East Hampton...
Copy !req
289. but I had to on account of Mother's house.
Copy !req
290. Well, now you see why you lived,
because you had music all the time.
Copy !req
291. That's why.
And you went to the beach too.
Copy !req
292. - That's what you liked.
- Those are the only things.
Copy !req
293. Well, I think you liked your dancing.
Copy !req
294. You were very good at that.
Copy !req
295. This is Kostelanetz.
Copy !req
296. Did you see the, uh - the play on Broadway?
Copy !req
297. No, No, Nanette.
Copy !req
298. If she was any good at all.
It's all soft shoe now, you know.
Copy !req
299. This is a dance. Come on, Edie.
Copy !req
300. I used to do it myself, you know.
I did that - the soft shoe.
Copy !req
301. Edie, dance to that. A waltz.
Come on. Get Edie up.
Copy !req
302. Dance. A waltz. How can you resist it?
Copy !req
303. How can you resist that?
Copy !req
304. Terrific.
Isn't that terrific?
Copy !req
305. - Isn't that a beautiful chord?
- I'm mad about Kostelanetz.
Copy !req
306. Do you think I'm gonna look funny dancing?
Copy !req
307. - No.
- I do terrific dances.
Copy !req
308. I only care about three things:
Copy !req
309. the Catholic Church,
swimming and dancing.
Copy !req
310. - And I had to give them up.
- Dave, it opens from the bottom.
Copy !req
311. I've got enough.
I almost die with the fleas in this place.
Copy !req
312. I can't go on another year.
I have to get to a hotel room.
Copy !req
313. Well, I have -
I brought a lot of stuff for your fleas...
Copy !req
314. and I'll be more than willing
to put it down.
Copy !req
315. All I want is a little room.
Copy !req
316. I can't stand a country house.
Copy !req
317. In the first place,
it makes me terribly nervous.
Copy !req
318. I'm scared to death of doors, locks,
people roaming around in the background...
Copy !req
319. under the trees, in the bushes.
Copy !req
320. I'm absolutely terrified.
Copy !req
321. I'm not a bit terrified
of the city, not a bit.
Copy !req
322. I like the terrible noise
you hear at night...
Copy !req
323. and all these terrible drilling sounds.
Copy !req
324. I never go to sleep unless the whole
pavement is jumping outside...
Copy !req
325. and it's a hundred degrees
and that drill is just going -
Copy !req
326. And then I just go to sleep.
Copy !req
327. I only hope it stays up.
Copy !req
328. I haven't got my makeup on.
Copy !req
329. My God, do you think it's gonna stay up?
Copy !req
330. I feel something
slipping. I feel something -
Copy !req
331. What am I missing?
Copy !req
332. We'll almost have to listen to Peale
in about five seconds.
Copy !req
333. She doesn't like the Catholic Church.
She gets mad whenever I go.
Copy !req
334. Oh, go on. What the hell?
I worship the Catholic Church.
Copy !req
335. I'm gonna invite Father Huntington over
to spend the whole entire night with me.
Copy !req
336. - That's what I'm gonna do.
- I love the church so much.
Copy !req
337. Here it is.
Copy !req
338. Norman Vincent Peale]
To get on top of things and to stay there.
Copy !req
339. Does that mean women too?
Copy !req
340. For if you do not do this...
Copy !req
341. it is very likely that things
will get on top of you.
Copy !req
342. Isn't he terrific?
Copy !req
343. And since I always believe
in a simple formula that is workable...
Copy !req
344. I have a formula for you now.
Copy !req
345. Try, really try.
Copy !req
346. Try, really try.
Copy !req
347. Think, really think.
Copy !req
348. Cute. Think, really think.
Copy !req
349. And third: Believe, really believe.
Copy !req
350. Well, you may say,
"How many times do I have to try?"
Copy !req
351. Why, it may be a good many times.
Copy !req
352. For example, I have in my pocket here
a letter from a man in London, England.
Copy !req
353. "Dear Dr. Peale, over three years ago...
Copy !req
354. I was in your great Marble Collegiate Church
for the first time...
Copy !req
355. and I was having it rough.
Copy !req
356. The job I'd been doing
had come to an end, and I was 55.
Copy !req
357. Your age, old gal.
Copy !req
358. Your suggestion lived with me,
plus the advice to try, really try;
Copy !req
359. - He lived. I never lived.
- think, really think; believe, really believe.
Copy !req
360. I did think. I did work
very hard to find a job.
Copy !req
361. Eighty-eight interviews."
Copy !req
362. So did he or did he not get the job?
Copy !req
363. He did.
Copy !req
364. Will he or will he not handle himself...
Copy !req
365. in the years that are to come?
Copy !req
366. He wasn't emotional.
Copy !req
367. He didn't get upset.
Copy !req
368. - He wasn't nervous.
- He wasn't me.
Copy !req
369. He was cool. Now one thing is sure:
Copy !req
370. The human mind will not function
when it is hot.
Copy !req
371. Only when it is cool and dispassionate -
Copy !req
372. Dispassionate.
Copy !req
373. - That was the word I wanted the other day.
- will it produce.
Copy !req
374. I couldn't think of what it was.
Copy !req
375. I think it would be a good idea
if every day every individual...
Copy !req
376. would look at himself in the mirror...
Copy !req
377. earnestly, and ask the question...
Copy !req
378. "Who am I? Am I a weak person?
Copy !req
379. Am I a defeated person?
Am I an inferior person?"
Copy !req
380. Not at all.
Copy !req
381. I am a child of God...
Copy !req
382. and I was intended
to get on top of things...
Copy !req
383. and I was intended to stay there.
Copy !req
384. - Very long.
- You notice how he went on and on and on?
Copy !req
385. Let's hear the prayer.
I mean the song. You sing the song now.
Copy !req
386. - Doxology.
- Sing it.
Copy !req
387. You have been listening
to Dr. Norman Vincent Peale...
Copy !req
388. as he spoke this morning from
his pulpit — No emotionalism.
Copy !req
389. - at Marble Collegiate Church.
- Never give up.
Copy !req
390. You want to keep on top.
Copy !req
391. Way up high up on top.
Copy !req
392. Wonderful way to smother somebody.
Copy !req
393. Would you pass your mirror over here?
Copy !req
394. I've got to see what I look like.
Copy !req
395. Don't drop it.
Copy !req
396. - Uptight.
- That was wonderful.
Copy !req
397. I see why I've got cataracts.
Copy !req
398. I have astigmatism,
one eye pulled against the other.
Copy !req
399. I should've worn glasses and I didn't.
Copy !req
400. - Oh, I told you to wear glasses.
- Is there anything else you want to know?
Copy !req
401. - You got with the glasses about four years ago.
- I'll tell you about my teeth.
Copy !req
402. Four years ago, Edie. You got the glasses,
and you didn't wear them.
Copy !req
403. - My teeth are still all right.
- You have to wear glasses
when you have any trouble.
Copy !req
404. You have to.
Copy !req
405. And my hair will grow... I hope. Here.
Copy !req
406. You're dressed for battle, Edie.
Copy !req
407. Mother's telling Marjorie how spoiled I am,
how terrible I am.
Copy !req
408. And Marjorie knew my father
and my uncle and everybody.
Copy !req
409. Mother's giving her all this S-H-I-T...
Copy !req
410. so I went and told her things
about the family.
Copy !req
411. But, you see, in dealing with me...
Copy !req
412. the relatives didn't know...
Copy !req
413. that they were dealing
with a staunch character.
Copy !req
414. And I tell you, if there's anything worse
than a staunch woman -
Copy !req
415. S-T-A-U-N-C-H.
Copy !req
416. There's nothing worse, I'm telling you.
Copy !req
417. They don't weaken... no matter what.
Copy !req
418. But they didn't know that.
Well, how were they to know?
Copy !req
419. You know, my father had made up his mind
about what Farmington produced...
Copy !req
420. and what the Sacred Heart Convent produced.
Copy !req
421. I don't think he was so down
on the Spence School...
Copy !req
422. but he certainly was down on Farmington.
Copy !req
423. I don't know why.
Farmington was a junior college.
Copy !req
424. You could choose what you wanted to study.
Copy !req
425. Perhaps that was what made
my father dislike it so -
Copy !req
426. that I could choose.
Copy !req
427. But I chose what I thought
he'd want me to choose -
Copy !req
428. you know, English literature and...
Copy !req
429. Oriental philosophies and, uh -
Copy !req
430. Well, I always took French,
but nothing ever happened there.
Copy !req
431. I can read and write in French,
but I can't speak it.
Copy !req
432. I had years and years and years of French.
Copy !req
433. Terrible.
Copy !req
434. This was taken by Amy Dupont
my last year in Farmington.
Copy !req
435. I was 17.
Copy !req
436. - Edie, that's so beautiful.
- Mr. Wainwright did that.
Copy !req
437. He was an artist from a very good family.
He was in the social register.
Copy !req
438. He did it in the solarium of Grey Gardens.
Copy !req
439. David, look at this.
I was in a fashion show.
Copy !req
440. Let me see that.
Copy !req
441. Oh, beautiful. Look at that, David.
Copy !req
442. - May I see that?
- Wow! Look at the skirt.
Copy !req
443. I thought I was the cat's pajamas in that!
Copy !req
444. You did, Edie.
See how pretty Edie was when she was young.
Copy !req
445. It's perfectly foolish of her
not to look that way now.
Copy !req
446. She could, you know,
if she didn't worry about everything.
Copy !req
447. Didn't she look like a girl
that had everything? Hmm?
Copy !req
448. This has inspired me.
Copy !req
449. I'll have to get another brown
tailored suit and grow my hair.
Copy !req
450. My God, I have no hair.
Copy !req
451. You never put any
lipstick on for this picture, did you?
Copy !req
452. - I have another kind on.
- You look horrible.
Copy !req
453. Why didn't you put lipstick and makeup on?
Copy !req
454. Mr. Beale smashed the window
of Burt Bacharach...
Copy !req
455. when he put this in the window
on upper Madison Avenue.
Copy !req
456. - For God's sakes.
- He offered me a job.
Copy !req
457. He didn't say to get out
of that family situation...
Copy !req
458. but he said, "You need a job, Miss Beale."
Copy !req
459. Didn't you expect that Edie
might get married someday?
Copy !req
460. Oh, I did. I wanted her to.
Copy !req
461. Oh, I picked out some nice men.
She didn't like the men I picked out.
Copy !req
462. They were horrible.
Copy !req
463. She could have married this Gerald Getty.
Copy !req
464. He was a millionaire.
Gave her a gorgeous ring.
Copy !req
465. She decided not to marry that guy.
She had to give the ring back.
Copy !req
466. She had a proposal of marriage
from Paul Getty.
Copy !req
467. Remember Paul,
the richest man in the world?
Copy !req
468. He married Teddy Lynch.
Copy !req
469. Then you could have married
Jordan McClanahan.
Copy !req
470. He was another millionaire,
and he wanted to marry you.
Copy !req
471. She just didn't want to get married.
That's all blamed on me.
Copy !req
472. No, I never fell in love until I was 31.
Copy !req
473. Well, how old are you in these pictures?
Copy !req
474. - Twenty-four.
- Twenty-four. That old?
Copy !req
475. - 1940.
- Very young looking for 24.
Copy !req
476. France had just fallen... to Hitler.
Copy !req
477. - But you never fell for a man.
- Paris, Paris, excuse me.
Copy !req
478. France fell, but Edie didn't fall.
Copy !req
479. That was the thing. See, I -
Copy !req
480. They didn't tell us that
when we studied World War I...
Copy !req
481. that everything was so awful
with the Versailles Treaty...
Copy !req
482. that we were soon going to get into
something four years after I got out.
Copy !req
483. If I'd only known it, I would have just -
Copy !req
484. just enjoyed every single minute,
just done everything.
Copy !req
485. It must've been tough on people.
Copy !req
486. I remember as a kid
so many loved ones being killed.
Copy !req
487. But you were the dating age.
Copy !req
488. A lot of my friends went overseas
and got married.
Copy !req
489. They went in the Red Cross.
They went to India, Australia.
Copy !req
490. They all got married.
Copy !req
491. One of my best friends went to Australia.
Copy !req
492. If I'd have been able to go,
she might have persuaded me to go with her.
Copy !req
493. And she met somebody in the hospital.
Copy !req
494. She was working for the Red Cross,
and she never came back to New York.
Copy !req
495. But I never had a chance
to do anything like that...
Copy !req
496. 'cause Mother wasn't well during the war.
Copy !req
497. She had her eye operation.
Copy !req
498. I missed out on everything.
Copy !req
499. I missed out on the reunion
of my graduating class in Farmington...
Copy !req
500. because that was the fall
that Jack Kennedy campaigned to get in...
Copy !req
501. and I was stuck here with Mother,
the cats, the house and T. Logan...
Copy !req
502. and I couldn't go.
Copy !req
503. - No, you said you didn't want them
to know how old you were.
- The 25th reunion of my class.
Copy !req
504. - No, I think -
- "Well, I didn't want them
to know my age," says Edie.
Copy !req
505. No, I would have enjoyed that,
Mother...
Copy !req
506. because Jack Kennedy
campaigned to get in and won.
Copy !req
507. Get in the Farmington School?
That'd be a good place for him.
Copy !req
508. I don't know.
I think it would have been a lot of fun.
Copy !req
509. Yeah, everything's good that you didn't do.
Copy !req
510. At the time, you didn't want it.
Copy !req
511. - I couldn't get away.
- Well, that's the choice.
Copy !req
512. - You can't go back and say-
feel gorgeous right now -
- I couldn't leave.
Copy !req
513. - and say, "Oh, why didn't I do this?"
- I couldn't leave.
Copy !req
514. Because you didn't feel then
the way you do now.
Copy !req
515. Everybody thinks and feels differently
as the years go by, don't they?
Copy !req
516. - Yeah.
- Yes.
Copy !req
517. - What time is it, chickens?
- What time is it?
Copy !req
518. - I want to go in now.
- It's, uh, 1:30.
Copy !req
519. - I may need David's hand to get up.
- You have it.
Copy !req
520. - Where is it? Can you come around this way?
- Sure.
Copy !req
521. - Are you taking pictures?
- Always.
Copy !req
522. Here.
Copy !req
523. "Two roads diverged in yellow wood...
Copy !req
524. and pondering...
Copy !req
525. pondering both or pondering each -
Copy !req
526. pondering one I took the other...
Copy !req
527. and that made all the difference."
Copy !req
528. - Robert Frost.
- Isn't that wonderful?
Copy !req
529. - Did he say that?
- That's all you need -just three lines like that.
Copy !req
530. - Come on, Edie. Is that Robert Frost?
- Who else?
Copy !req
531. I thought it was you.
I think your poetry is better.
Copy !req
532. - "Two road diverged in yellow wood -
- Come on, you said that.
Copy !req
533. - We want something else.
- And pondering one, I took the other.
Copy !req
534. - Edie, you're not teaching us.
- And that made all the difference."
Copy !req
535. - We don't want to learn it. It's very pretty.
- Isn't that amazing?
Copy !req
536. No, I don't think it's half
as good as your poems.
Copy !req
537. They looked the same,
and he probably couldn't tell and yet he -
Copy !req
538. I wish I could remember the correct lines.
Copy !req
539. I'm absolutely exhausted.
Copy !req
540. I danced eight hours last night,
practicing the, uh - the marching song.
Copy !req
541. - Great.
- My God, my muscles!
Copy !req
542. I can't do it, I'm telling you.
What am I gonna do?
Copy !req
543. They're gone... with this soft life.
Copy !req
544. When they do that,
that's when the plane goes by, see?
Copy !req
545. So I'm doing the V.M.I. marching song...
Copy !req
546. which is a ground maneuver.
Copy !req
547. Anyway, I've got to get it all
coordinated in my mind.
Copy !req
548. Hey, Mother, I'm working on my dance.
Copy !req
549. so I have to sit here
and starve all the time.
Copy !req
550. - How can I eat and look sexy too?
- I think I lost five pounds.
Copy !req
551. - I'm gonna die.
- Well, don't live with me. I want to eat.
Copy !req
552. - Will you eat some liver pâté?
- It's not awfully good.
Copy !req
553. Kitties? If you put lemon with it,
it's all right.
Copy !req
554. I'm gonna die with this diet.
I don't like it at all.
Copy !req
555. Don't do it. Have a sandwich.
Copy !req
556. I got fat not
wearing clothes for two years.
Copy !req
557. Oh, that wasn't it at all.
It was the quarts and quarts of ice cream.
Copy !req
558. - My bill was $171 just for ice cream.
- Here's your liver pâté.
Copy !req
559. You have to make it. I can't. No, I can't.
Copy !req
560. I ate in front of the Maysles the
other day. You have to make it.
Copy !req
561. I was very embarrassed. No.
I ate all that chicken -
Copy !req
562. Oh, Mother, I should have
stolen that blue — Take it out, babe.
Copy !req
563. You like the green?
That's chartreuse there.
Copy !req
564. - What do I do with this?
- You have crackers somewhere.
Copy !req
565. - Should I put it on crackers?
- Yeah. You should -
Copy !req
566. It needs a lemon or
mayonnaise or something.
Copy !req
567. When am I gonna get out of here?
Copy !req
568. Oh, she's always talking like that.
Copy !req
569. When I get to New York, you're never
gonna get me back to East Hampton.
Copy !req
570. - Oh, that's silly. Oh, Edie, that isn't nice.
- Ever. Never!
Copy !req
571. Edie, the man is doing this.
For goodness sakes! That's terrible!
Copy !req
572. When I get to New York, brother,
I'm not ever coming back.
Copy !req
573. Well, you got in awful trouble there.
Copy !req
574. It's a good thing
you had a place to come to.
Copy !req
575. Recuperate at Mama's for about 15 to 20 years.
Copy !req
576. She had a horrible time. I used to
have to send her big boxes of groceries.
Copy !req
577. She was starving.
From my grocer's thing down there.
Copy !req
578. - I was discovered -
- Sent her big boxes of groceries.
Copy !req
579. - but I needed training.
- And I always put a bottle of wine in her bag.
Copy !req
580. I thought she'd have a terrible accident.
Copy !req
581. Well, I was discovered, but -
Well, never mind.
Copy !req
582. Oh, I wouldn't say anything good
happened to you in New York.
Copy !req
583. - Are you kidding?
- No.
Copy !req
584. I was discovered by Mr. Gordon.
He was a friend of Mrs. -
Copy !req
585. - Well, what is it?
- What was that woman's name?
Copy !req
586. - People discover me every time I go out.
- What was Ruby Chapman's -
Copy !req
587. - I don't think anything of it.
- This is serious! He went to pieces!
Copy !req
588. - Mr. Max Gordon went out of his mind.
- Oh, not Max Gordon.
Copy !req
589. - He never went to pieces in his life.
- He did!
Copy !req
590. - He did not. A very -
- Now, what was the woman's name?
Copy !req
591. She gave me the letter. Mrs. Hitchcock.
Copy !req
592. - I can't go back to ancient history.
- Ruby Chapman's partner!
Copy !req
593. How can you remember so long?
Now I'll have to get drunk.
Copy !req
594. - They gave me the letter to Max Gordon!
- I'll have to start drinking.
Copy !req
595. I can't take it.
Copy !req
596. - She'll make a drunkard out of her mother.
- What crackers do you want?
Copy !req
597. We'll take these. Do you mind?
They're very good.
Copy !req
598. - Do you want these?
- I don't like crackers. You know that.
Copy !req
599. Just put a lemon on it. Little lemon.
Copy !req
600. Don't you know who Max Gordon is?
Copy !req
601. He's a famous producer.
Copy !req
602. You've heard of him, haven't you?
Copy !req
603. He discovered Judy Holliday.
Copy !req
604. He discovered Judy Holliday.
He said I was much funnier.
Copy !req
605. Well, you haven't been funny today, boy.
Copy !req
606. You're lacking in humor.
Copy !req
607. It's how you are when you grow older.
Copy !req
608. I needed training.
Where was I to get the training?
Copy !req
609. - You start when you're 12.
I had mine when I was 12.
- Oh, stop.
Copy !req
610. This cracker's for the photographer.
Copy !req
611. Tell me what - what I should have done.
Copy !req
612. Here, could you put this away,
please, Edie?
Copy !req
613. - I should have immediately
tried to get into something?
- Put it where it'll get frozen.
Copy !req
614. Until it gets frozen, will you?
Copy !req
615. David, instead of coming home...
Copy !req
616. I should have tried to get into something,
is that it?
Copy !req
617. David, do you think you and
Al should have told Edie to lose weight?
Copy !req
618. - She's been impossible.
- Do you think I should have
gotten into night club work?
Copy !req
619. What does your mother think?
Copy !req
620. - I had everything picked out.
- My father was alive!
Copy !req
621. - That was it. My father was alive.
- I was going around with a -
Copy !req
622. - My father was alive.
- Do you want to hear what I have to say?
Copy !req
623. Mr. Beale would have had me committed.
Copy !req
624. Gould and I were at Edie
every day to go to Traphagen.
Copy !req
625. She could do anything.
She could learn toe dancing.
Copy !req
626. She could learn radio.
She could learn all sorts of stage dancing.
Copy !req
627. - Why was I gonna do this?
- She could do -
Copy !req
628. The things we told you.
We told you to go to Bendel's -
Copy !req
629. - I couldn't go with my mother sitting here, David.
- and model earrings.
Copy !req
630. - I couldn't go with my mother sitting here.
- You were so gorgeous in hats.
Copy !req
631. You had such a beautiful face,
and we always adored you.
Copy !req
632. And we said, "Why, she should do hats,"
and she had gorgeous feet.
Copy !req
633. And Mr. Beale always made her wear a certain
kind of shoe when she was a little girl.
Copy !req
634. Orthopedic shoe. And she - she could have -
Copy !req
635. I had deep responsibility for you, Mother.
Copy !req
636. I was taken care of for 25 years!
Copy !req
637. Ah, the hallmark of aristocracy
is responsibility, is that it?
Copy !req
638. I'm not gonna spend this winter in
East Hampton. In the first place, I can't.
Copy !req
639. I just can't. I can't spend another winter
out here in the country.
Copy !req
640. I can't do it. I don't enjoy it.
Copy !req
641. Furthermore, I'm telling you, I can't get
my figure back unless I hit New York City.
Copy !req
642. You know. That icebox is too near.
Copy !req
643. I've gotta get away from that icebox.
Copy !req
644. They all want luncheon.
Copy !req
645. Come on. We're gonna have luncheon.
Copy !req
646. What?
Copy !req
647. - Edie!
- What?
Copy !req
648. I fed the cats!
Copy !req
649. I just have to leave for New York City
and lead my own life.
Copy !req
650. I don't see any other future.
Copy !req
651. Will you shut up!
It's a goddamn beautiful day!
Copy !req
652. Shut up!
Copy !req
653. Paris is the place for you. Get on
stage in Paris at the Folies Bergère.
Copy !req
654. The point is that I came down here
to take care of my mother.
Copy !req
655. I'm sick and tired of worrying
about her night and day.
Copy !req
656. Well, I had a very good — I was
away from her for five or six years.
Copy !req
657. - I had a very good man.
- And I was sick and tired
of lying awake at night -
Copy !req
658. - He took care of me for 25 years.
- wondering what was happening to my mother.
Copy !req
659. She didn't have to worry.
Copy !req
660. Who was the man
that took care of you for 25 years?
Copy !req
661. - Twenty-three years.
- Nobody took care of her for 25 years!
Copy !req
662. - I took care of this damn house for 25 years!
- I'm - I'm on the air.
Copy !req
663. Dare say my mother was ever taken care of
by any man but my father...
Copy !req
664. and I'll push you under the goddamned bed!
Copy !req
665. No, Edie,
I think Al was referring to Gould.
Copy !req
666. Yes, he was.
Copy !req
667. He took care of Mother by accompanying her
to the movies and playing the piano!
Copy !req
668. Took care of me and the washing -
Copy !req
669. No one took care of Mrs. Beale. She
had my father's money and her own money.
Copy !req
670. - What money?
- The Bouvier money.
Copy !req
671. And another thing,
Mrs. Beale wasn't taken care of sexually.
Copy !req
672. I think he was nicer than anybody
I've ever known in my whole life.
Copy !req
673. He was a writer. He wrote
seven books at one time. He was brilliant.
Copy !req
674. And he played the piano magnificently...
Copy !req
675. and composed exquisite music
and dedicated about 80 songs to me.
Copy !req
676. - So Edie didn't have to worry.
- No, she didn't have to worry
the way she did, no.
Copy !req
677. She made me leave the Barbizon.
Copy !req
678. Well, I thought you'd been
in New York long enough.
Copy !req
679. - You were getting lines in your face.
- But I didn't want to leave.
Copy !req
680. - I was getting my big chance.
- Oh, no, you were not.
Copy !req
681. That married man was not going
to give you any chance at all.
Copy !req
682. - I was getting my audition in 1952!
- You were not.
Copy !req
683. - I was going to get it!
- Well, you didn't get it. You missed out.
Copy !req
684. I was just getting up
what you call a little nerve.
Copy !req
685. Now, listen, you're wasting that
thing on this, 'cause it's just nuts.
Copy !req
686. - When she said I had to come home.
- I thought you should come home.
Copy !req
687. - She started high-pressuring me
to come back in March of 1952.
- It was time after 25 years.
Copy !req
688. And she kept it up until the end of July.
Copy !req
689. - July 29th, I checked out, got on the train.
- Well, you should come down.
Copy !req
690. - Came back, and was never able to get back.
- It's very hot in New York.
Copy !req
691. It's very hot in New York on July 29th.
Copy !req
692. "You and The Night
and The Music." It's beautiful.
Copy !req
693. - Do you know that one? You do know it?
- Mm-hmm. Sure.
Copy !req
694. Do you really? Sing it for me. Sing it.
Copy !req
695. No. "You and The Night and The Music."
Sing that song.
Copy !req
696. - I don't know that. I thought you meant -
- You thought you did.
Copy !req
697. He knows it.
Copy !req
698. - Go on.
- I don't know the rest of it.
Copy !req
699. "Fill me with flaming desire."
Copy !req
700. The words are wonderful.
Copy !req
701. I forgot. Oh, listen, this is it. "Love."
Copy !req
702. Edie! Oh, Edie!
Copy !req
703. - Where's Jerry, Edie? Edie, where's Jerry?
- I don't know, Mother.
Copy !req
704. - That's what I'm wondering.
- Don't you think you'd better find him?
Copy !req
705. Mother wants me to watch him
the whole time he's in the house.
Copy !req
706. - No, you told me not to have him back here.
- Like I watched Tom.
Copy !req
707. - No, thanks.
- My eyes dropped out. Mother and her friends.
Copy !req
708. I never cared for the three people
that my mother liked.
Copy !req
709. I couldn't get on with Mr. Beale...
Copy !req
710. and I didn't care for
her composer friend...
Copy !req
711. and as for Tom Logan,
he drove me crazy in the house.
Copy !req
712. I loved Tom.
He played the guitar so beautifully.
Copy !req
713. He sang and was in a rodeo,
and even was in Hollywood.
Copy !req
714. You'd have to admire somebody like that.
Copy !req
715. - She was a pushover.
- He had no place to go.
Copy !req
716. And then he asked my mother, he said,
"I've just been fired from the Sea Spray.
Copy !req
717. Would you like a maintenance man?"
Mother took him home.
Copy !req
718. I didn't want a maintenance man.
I said, "I'll take you home for one night."
Copy !req
719. - That's the story of Tom Logan.
- That's what I said.
Copy !req
720. There wasn't a thing
he didn't know how to do.
Copy !req
721. He could fix anything.
Lights, plumber things.
Copy !req
722. He knew how to do everything.
Just one of those terribly clever men.
Copy !req
723. He couldn't do any work. He made
good salads, but he was drunk all the time.
Copy !req
724. Oh, no. He came up here
every morning at 6:00, knocked on my door.
Copy !req
725. We talked over the menu for the day.
Copy !req
726. Including a half a bottle of rosé vin...
Copy !req
727. or wine or whatever it's called.
Copy !req
728. Naturally, we couldn't get rid of him,
and I had to stay here.
Copy !req
729. What I should have done was leave,
and he would have left right away.
Copy !req
730. All right, you don't believe in religious
compulsion. It was a religious thing.
Copy !req
731. - If I had left, he would have left.
- No, I deserve -
Copy !req
732. - Because the work would have been too much.
- He didn't want to go.
Copy !req
733. All alone in the house for Tom. All I
had to do was leave. I'm so stupid that I -
Copy !req
734. Well, where would I have been?
I'd have been all alone in the house.
Copy !req
735. I think you would have, Mother.
Copy !req
736. - Edie! Yoo-hoo!
- What?
Copy !req
737. The Marble Faun is at the door.
He can wait.
Copy !req
738. Let Jerry in. Hurry up.
Copy !req
739. I'm gonna look at this path without Jerry.
Copy !req
740. This is a sea of leaves.
A complete sea of leaves.
Copy !req
741. If you lose something, you can't
find it again; it drops to the bottom.
Copy !req
742. I lost my scarf. I'll never get it again.
Copy !req
743. Best scarf I ever owned.
The most beautiful color blue.
Copy !req
744. It dropped. You know, it fell off my head.
Copy !req
745. To hell with The Marble Faun.
Copy !req
746. - Hello?
- Hello, Edie.
Copy !req
747. Oh, hello, Jerry darling.
Do you want to come in?
Copy !req
748. I just came for the faucet
so I can get down to the hardware store.
Copy !req
749. - Mother said you called.
Was that you on the phone very early?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
750. How are you?
I'm looking at you now.
Copy !req
751. Really well.
Copy !req
752. I'll come down and let you in.
Do you want to come up here?
Copy !req
753. - You want to come up?
- All right. For a moment.
Copy !req
754. Mother's screaming to have me let you in.
I'd better do it.
Copy !req
755. I'll be at the back door here, okay?
Copy !req
756. I'll come right down.
Copy !req
757. - Jerry's puffing and blowing.
- No. I'm tired, and I don't want to get any tireder.
Copy !req
758. What do you want, Jerry?
Copy !req
759. Who wants a nice piece of corn?
Copy !req
760. - I don't want any. Thank you.
- Jerry, you didn't get enough to eat tonight.
Copy !req
761. - Well, I can't resist. I'm sorry.
- The margarine.
Copy !req
762. - Jerry, you're gonna put
some of this on, aren't you?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
763. - You wanna do it for me?
- Why, yeah. The pleasure's all mine.
Copy !req
764. If I don't burn myself.
Copy !req
765. Which piece of corn do you want, Jerry?
Copy !req
766. - Doesn't matter.
- See how polite he is?
Copy !req
767. You want some, Edie?
Where's your plate, Jerry, for it?
Copy !req
768. - I couldn't eat in front of the camera.
- I've got very big hands.
Copy !req
769. This corn is out of this world.
Copy !req
770. Oh, did I do it nicely? He always
compliments me on the way I do my corn.
Copy !req
771. There they are.
Copy !req
772. There are your raccoons. Run away from
your drinks and do that to your raccoons.
Copy !req
773. Hear him?
Copy !req
774. Yeah, he's there. I can hear him.
Copy !req
775. Everything's in the attic -
everything from sloths, otters...
Copy !req
776. badgers, uh, possums, raccoons.
Copy !req
777. I don't leave the bags anymore.
Copy !req
778. 'Cause I had to get up
200 cellophane bags this, uh -
Copy !req
779. Horrors. Somebody's removing
the books from my room.
Copy !req
780. Where did this little book come from?
Copy !req
781. Edie!
Copy !req
782. That's Jerry. He locked himself out.
Copy !req
783. No, Jerry hasn't locked himself out.
Copy !req
784. He locked himself out.
Copy !req
785. Who's knocking at the door?
Copy !req
786. He's around there.
Copy !req
787. Who got this book out of my room? I
cleaned this whole attic up the other day.
Copy !req
788. Now, who's been dropping books around
is what I want to know.
Copy !req
789. I would have seen that book.
Copy !req
790. He evidently has been
up in that room reading it.
Copy !req
791. All right, Buster, old pal,
come and get it.
Copy !req
792. There's somebody
knocking at the door, Edie.
Copy !req
793. Yeah, all right, Mother.
Copy !req
794. Yes?
Copy !req
795. Is Jerry here?
Copy !req
796. Oh, yes. I'll get him for you.
Just a minute.
Copy !req
797. - Hey, Jerry.
- Yeah?
Copy !req
798. I think your friend's
in the - in the, uh, front.
Copy !req
799. I found a little book dropped in the attic,
Mother. He's been up there.
Copy !req
800. Well, you should keep him out.
Copy !req
801. He told me he was working on that thing.
He wasn't at all.
Copy !req
802. - Want a little bit, Edie?
- No.
Copy !req
803. You don't want a little bit?
Copy !req
804. - My God!
- What?
Copy !req
805. - I just thought of something.
- What?
Copy !req
806. Give me that.
What did you think of? What? Come on.
Copy !req
807. The guy was standing outside the window...
Copy !req
808. and he was passing books out to him.
Copy !req
809. - You think so, Edie?
- Yes.
Copy !req
810. - I don't believe all that.
- Yes!
Copy !req
811. I don't believe it. Want a taste, Edie?
Copy !req
812. - I don't want any.
- No. We lost the glasses. The glasses are gone.
Copy !req
813. Next thing, those antiques
will all be missing.
Copy !req
814. See, you shouldn't have
a contact with the outside world...
Copy !req
815. because how do I know
that there isn't something up in that room?
Copy !req
816. If you get what I mean.
Copy !req
817. You can't tell what's
been put up in that room...
Copy !req
818. or what's been taken out.
Copy !req
819. Don't worry so much, please.
Copy !req
820. This cat's going to the bathroom
right in back of my portrait.
Copy !req
821. - Oh, isn't that awful?
- No, I'm glad he is.
Copy !req
822. I'm glad somebody's doing
something they want to do.
Copy !req
823. I was frozen this morning when I woke up.
Were you, Edie?
Copy !req
824. - It did drop. It dropped. It dropped quite a bit.
- I missed you last night.
Copy !req
825. I was so lonely. She only left me
one little kitty to keep me warm.
Copy !req
826. And all these blankets were on the floors,
all this pile of stuff here.
Copy !req
827. Jerry's pretty good at waiting on me.
Copy !req
828. He can find things here
that I wouldn't find for half an hour.
Copy !req
829. - Jerry, the majordomo.
- I'm so sick of that kid.
Copy !req
830. - I have great pity for him.
- Lois says - Well, you know the trouble.
Copy !req
831. - And I like him, but -
- Lois says - You know the trouble.
Copy !req
832. - What?
- The trouble is, he's madly in love with Edie.
Copy !req
833. I said I thought Edie
was madly in love with him. Pardon me.
Copy !req
834. He might as well leave right now,
'cause he's never gonna get it.
Copy !req
835. - So that's it.
- Get what? Sex with you?
Copy !req
836. - What he's after.
- He doesn't want any sex with you.
Copy !req
837. - Well, that's all they're after.
- An old person like you? Good God!
Copy !req
838. - So why don't you tell him right now?
- Unheard of. Unheard of.
Copy !req
839. - You should tell him right now
so I'm not bothered by him.
- He doesn't want sex.
Copy !req
840. He's got about six girls in East Hampton.
He's so busy.
Copy !req
841. - No, but the point is, he thinks -
- I don't know what he's doing.
Copy !req
842. He's out every single night
with a different girl.
Copy !req
843. - Yeah, but that's - that's the point, you see.
- He had a wonderful time.
Copy !req
844. - He's gonna be here for years and years.
I see this coming.
- He enjoys himself thoroughly.
Copy !req
845. - I hope.
- The guy's gonna be here for years and years.
Copy !req
846. - I doubt that.
- It's gonna be one of those things.
Copy !req
847. Like Tom Logan.
Copy !req
848. Aren't you gonna feed Whiskers, Edie?
Copy !req
849. Come on. Go in and feed Whiskers.
Copy !req
850. Now, don't eat it.
Give it to Whiskers, please.
Copy !req
851. - You're thin. You want to get thin.
- She's very mean to me.
Copy !req
852. No. I have to be very strict. The priest
said she needed a very strict hand.
Copy !req
853. What the priest told me.
Copy !req
854. "She sure needs
a very strong hand, your daughter."
Copy !req
855. And I tried to give it to her,
you know that?
Copy !req
856. After Mr. Beale, you know,
stopped living in East Hampton...
Copy !req
857. I had a terrible hard time with Edie.
Copy !req
858. She just went wild
after her father wasn't living here.
Copy !req
859. She went wild, absolutely wild.
Copy !req
860. I couldn't do anything with her at all.
Copy !req
861. Isn't it awful when a dancer gets fat?
Copy !req
862. Isn't it awful? God.
Copy !req
863. It's awful, I'm telling you.
It's awful! God!
Copy !req
864. My father believed in running
the children's lives, you know?
Copy !req
865. He wanted me to get my master's degree,
be a junior partner in his law firm.
Copy !req
866. - Take the ice cream.
- He was 165 Broadway, on the ninth floor.
Copy !req
867. And my knees would start to shake...
Copy !req
868. coming down on the ninth floor
of Mr. Beale's office.
Copy !req
869. My knees were rattling. My mouth was dry.
Copy !req
870. You were scared of your father.
Copy !req
871. And I'd go in, and he'd come forward out
of his office with his watch in his hand...
Copy !req
872. and then he'd look at the clock
on the wall, and he said -
Copy !req
873. "You're five minutes late," he'd say.
Copy !req
874. - Oh, my God.
- No, he had a very -
Copy !req
875. Then he'd sit down
and look at me like this and say...
Copy !req
876. "Take it off. Take that hat off.
Copy !req
877. Take that lipstick off.
Take that nail polish off.
Copy !req
878. - How dare you wear those high heels!"
- Oh, she's just acting.
Copy !req
879. Don't you want some of this?
Butter pecan.
Copy !req
880. Mmm. Mmm.
Copy !req
881. He said the only thing to be
was a professional woman. He did say that.
Copy !req
882. - Didn't he, Mother?
- Well, I wouldn't say it's the only thing.
Copy !req
883. He didn't want me to get married.
Copy !req
884. I don't think people should
get married. I don't believe in it at all.
Copy !req
885. If you can't get a man to propose to you,
you might as well be dead.
Copy !req
886. - Oh, I don't think it's important.
- I think it's disgusting.
Copy !req
887. - Aunt Mary had the most wonderful life.
- Absolutely disgusting.
Copy !req
888. - For women to be alone.
- Lived to be 94 years of age.
Copy !req
889. What are they proving? They have to go
around with dogs or other women or something.
Copy !req
890. - Dogs are lovely.
- I - I think it's terrible.
Copy !req
891. I'll take a dog any day.
Copy !req
892. Why didn't you marry the man you wanted to,
like I did?
Copy !req
893. I think the saddest thing was my not
marrying into the Obelensky family...
Copy !req
894. 'cause I adore them.
Copy !req
895. Any Obelensky is wonderful.
That's all I can say.
Copy !req
896. - He's a very sweet man.
- If he's related to the Obelenskys, he's okay.
Copy !req
897. - I didn't know he was any relation to them.
- Yes.
Copy !req
898. - I never knew.
- Serge's, uh, nephew by his half-sister.
Copy !req
899. Now, there was a boy I might have married.
Copy !req
900. Why didn't you marry Paul Getty?
Copy !req
901. I said, "How did you happen to come here?"
Copy !req
902. And he said, "Oh, I saw you at a dance,"
he said, "in South Hampton."
Copy !req
903. - I said, "You did?" He said, "Yes."
- He was just a kid.
Copy !req
904. He was 32. And I said,
"Eugene, what you need is a girl."
Copy !req
905. And he said, "No, Edith, I'm looking
for a wife. I wanna get married."
Copy !req
906. - He wanted to take Edie to Westchester.
- Wasn't that cute?
Copy !req
907. Tom had just died, and I did not want
another man in my kitchen with a cookbook.
Copy !req
908. - I went downstairs -
- He'd just made a cookbook.
He'd just written a cookbook.
Copy !req
909. - Mother got rid of him in 15 minutes.
- Don't want any cookbooks.
Copy !req
910. Mother got rid of him in 15 minutes
'cause he came from a celebrated family.
Copy !req
911. - He was very glad to leave.
- The Tyszkiewicz family.
Copy !req
912. And I suppose Mother didn't want me
to have anybody that was decent.
Copy !req
913. - You understand.
- I didn't want anybody in the kitchen.
Copy !req
914. It would have been perfectly all right
for me to marry Tom Logan.
Copy !req
915. Why do you want to marry a kid 32?
Copy !req
916. - I forgot to say that Eugene was a count.
- He didn't have a nickel.
Copy !req
917. I would have been Countess -
Countess Edith.
Copy !req
918. I didn't want my child to be taken away.
I'd be entirely alone.
Copy !req
919. Do you know what I go through
with this awful stuff?
Copy !req
920. Listen,
I've got to eat lunch. I'm starving.
Copy !req
921. Well, you know me - always hungry.
Copy !req
922. I'm not gonna gain the weight back.
Copy !req
923. I didn't have any breakfast.
Copy !req
924. - I'll put some lipstick on.
- You want to give me something to put on, Edie?
Copy !req
925. I'm beginning to laugh.
Copy !req
926. - These are my brother's drawers.
- Give me something to put on.
Copy !req
927. And I feel so strongly about mementos
and everything because of Mother...
Copy !req
928. that I was never able to ever clean out
these desk drawers and throw the stuff away.
Copy !req
929. - Would you believe that?
- You know, it's childhood stuff.
Copy !req
930. - Oh, Edie, yoo-hoo!
- What are they called?
"Memorabalia" or something.
Copy !req
931. - Edie, yoo-hoo!
- I couldn't throw anything away.
Copy !req
932. - Now, looking at this room.
- Oh, Edie!
Copy !req
933. Yeah, just a minute.
Copy !req
934. They discovered something terrific in here.
Copy !req
935. - Come on. I've waited long enough.
- Is it from Austria?
Copy !req
936. - Why, what happened?
- Never mind about me.
Copy !req
937. "The moving finger writes
and, having writ, moves on."
Copy !req
938. I was going to write
another line from Omar Khayyàm:
Copy !req
939. "We come like water and we go like wind."
Copy !req
940. Edie, yoo-hoo!
Copy !req
941. - Well, I got that one up.
- Edie, bring me the telephone.
Copy !req
942. That's the man. This is the woman.
Copy !req
943. - I can't tell.
- Are you getting me the blue kimono, Edie?
Copy !req
944. I'm putting up the silver masks.
Copy !req
945. Edie, come here a minute. Hurry.
Copy !req
946. I can't get the thumbtack in the wall.
Copy !req
947. - I think I have the saddest life.
- Oh, Edie!
Copy !req
948. I have to go on with
the redecoration of this room.
Copy !req
949. - Yeah.
- Can you get me something to eat?
Copy !req
950. All right.
Copy !req
951. I made this.
Copy !req
952. Those are roses of all different years.
Copy !req
953. My shell collection. You can't see it,
it's so dirty. Isn't that tragic?
Copy !req
954. That's - These -
Then I have two things to go there.
Copy !req
955. And "Around the World"
is supposed to go there.
Copy !req
956. Edie, I can't do it.
Copy !req
957. Open it. I can't do it.
Copy !req
958. I'm just gonna put that up there 'cause
I like red in this room for some reason.
Copy !req
959. And I was gonna hang
the birdcage right here...
Copy !req
960. and have "Around the World" there.
Copy !req
961. But I haven't gotten to that.
Copy !req
962. Perhaps I'd better begin taking care of Mother
and bossing her and cooking her some food.
Copy !req
963. - What do you boys think?
- Bossing her around?
Copy !req
964. Yeah. I let her do what she wants.
Copy !req
965. I think maybe I ought to
give her cooked meals at certain hours.
Copy !req
966. What do you think? I don't have any clock.
Copy !req
967. You know, I never know what time it is.
Copy !req
968. You think she'd eat them?
Copy !req
969. I don't know.
You know her better than anybody.
Copy !req
970. I give her her head. I let her do
what she wants to do. I think it's awful.
Copy !req
971. She should eat, you know, chopped meat and a
baked potato at a certain hour for luncheon.
Copy !req
972. Then have a nice little dinner.
Copy !req
973. But that takes timing.
Copy !req
974. No, I'm not ready, and I have no makeup on!
Copy !req
975. But things are getting better!
Copy !req
976. Did you find my sign, "In bathtub"?
Copy !req
977. Right. I couldn't believe it.
Copy !req
978. Come on in. We're not ready.
Copy !req
979. - Is that Al down there?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
980. - Hello, Al.
- Hi.
Copy !req
981. - Take your time.
- Oh, God! I almost tripped.
Copy !req
982. I almost broke my neck then.
God, these stairs are dirty.
Copy !req
983. Oh.
Copy !req
984. How could Edie leave
these stairs like this?
Copy !req
985. Don't I look funny
coming down these stairs, hmm?
Copy !req
986. - No. You look great.
- Don't I? I feel funny.
Copy !req
987. I feel funny.
Copy !req
988. - Just like a night at the opera.
- Is it?
Copy !req
989. The night at the opera will be when
I get in that chair in the dining room.
Copy !req
990. That would be the night at the opera.
Copy !req
991. - Mother, Lois and Jack are here!
- Hello, Jack.
Copy !req
992. Happy birthday!
Copy !req
993. I say, where's the cushion, Edie?
Get the cushion. I'll ruin my dress.
Copy !req
994. - Oh, yes. She puts it here.
- Oh, God, and those chairs.
Copy !req
995. Are they dirty, those chairs. Hello, Jack.
Copy !req
996. Hi, how are you? Happy birthday.
Copy !req
997. Well, you're very cute
to celebrate with me today.
Copy !req
998. - I like you in that costume, Lois.
- Oh, why, thank you.
Copy !req
999. I see Edie hasn't -
You better not sit on those chairs.
Copy !req
1000. - They look very dirty.
- They can sit on paper.
Copy !req
1001. I thought you were gonna clean up, Edie.
Copy !req
1002. I tried. I swept the, uh, hall.
Copy !req
1003. Well, I'm kind of disapp -
Jack, you don't mind sitting by me, do you?
Copy !req
1004. I swept the floor.
We have wine. I'll bring down the glasses.
Copy !req
1005. Bring down the wine, please.
Copy !req
1006. - And Edie's due - Lois is due ginger ale.
- Okay.
Copy !req
1007. But don't let the cats out.
Copy !req
1008. How do you like that thing
Lois did for me, Jack?
Copy !req
1009. Are your eyes good enough to see that?
Copy !req
1010. - Oh, sure.
- How are your eyes?
Copy !req
1011. She's no waitress, I'll tell ya.
Copy !req
1012. Well, she's got a pretty heavy tray.
Copy !req
1013. Leave the tray here, won't you?
Oh, no, she's not gonna.
Copy !req
1014. She's gonna do just as she wants, you know.
Copy !req
1015. She's a Schrafft's waitress.
They always do just as they want.
Copy !req
1016. Here's to Mother.
May she live to be at least 80.
Copy !req
1017. - Oh, it's one more year. Ha, ha.
- She's in her 79th.
Copy !req
1018. - She's in her 79th now - 79th year.
Copy !req
1019. She's gonna tell that
to everybody in East Hampton, you know.
Copy !req
1020. - Well, that's life.
- Everybody's gonna know my age.
Copy !req
1021. - Well, happy birthday.
- Thank you very much, Jack.
Copy !req
1022. Sing me "Happy Birthday." Sing it.
Copy !req
1023. - I sang it.
- Do it again.
Copy !req
1024. Why do we have to have
paper cups when I wanted my-
Copy !req
1025. I wanted my green goblets with all the gold
on 'em, and she wouldn't bring 'em down.
Copy !req
1026. So disappointed on my birthday.
Copy !req
1027. Oh, what a beautiful -
I knew I wanted to look at that cake!
Copy !req
1028. Did you ever see anything like that?
Copy !req
1029. "Happy birthday." Gorgeous!
Copy !req
1030. - Imagine having red -
- That's terrific.
Copy !req
1031. Somebody's calling me, Edie.
Copy !req
1032. - My sister ordered that out of Sag Harbor.
- Hello? Yeah.
Copy !req
1033. Hey, Mother, can you move
your chair a little bit?
Copy !req
1034. Yeah.
Copy !req
1035. This is the first time we've used
the long wire in the dining room.
Copy !req
1036. Oh, hello, Polly.
Copy !req
1037. Thank you, dear.
Are you gonna sing it all the way through?
Copy !req
1038. Listen, I got your beautiful present.
Copy !req
1039. - Uh, Edie, have you brought
the present down yet?
- I haven't opened any presents.
Copy !req
1040. We're sitting down here
in the so-called old -
Copy !req
1041. - What, dear?
- We haven't opened anything.
Copy !req
1042. There's a great big box up there.
Copy !req
1043. Tremendous box,
but we haven't opened the presents.
Copy !req
1044. Well, you sent me a card. I got that.
Copy !req
1045. I don't think she did send Mother a card.
Copy !req
1046. Michele sent the cards.
Copy !req
1047. I haven't started the cake,
but I'll read you what it says.
Copy !req
1048. It says, uh - What does it say, Jack?
Copy !req
1049. - Happy birthday, Edith.
- Oh, it says, "Happy Birthday, Edith."
Copy !req
1050. - And that's all in red.
- Yes.
Copy !req
1051. And then the flowers underneath are -
Copy !req
1052. well, yellow flowers and green.
Copy !req
1053. It's a perfectly enormous cake.
Copy !req
1054. Oh!
Copy !req
1055. Thank you, dear. Hang up.
Copy !req
1056. - Did you say good-bye?
- That's the girl you hated.
Copy !req
1057. - Did you say good-bye?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
1058. Are they having eye trouble?
They freeze your eyes.
Copy !req
1059. - Both of them have been operated.
- They had to have operations.
Copy !req
1060. - They both had two operations.
- And then they weren't good either.
Copy !req
1061. One lost her eye. One girl.
Copy !req
1062. Yeah, the eyes disappeared -
dried up and disappeared.
Copy !req
1063. She has double vision. She has to wear
dark glasses over the cataract glasses.
Copy !req
1064. She's absolutely cured, Edie!
Copy !req
1065. - She's cured now.
- Did she say she was cured?
Copy !req
1066. She said, "I feel wonderful."
Copy !req
1067. The really nice thing to have
is to get deaf and get blind...
Copy !req
1068. and then have some cancer
come in your face and your lips.
Copy !req
1069. - Cancer?
- Cancer of the tongue or something like that.
Copy !req
1070. - Yeah, cancer is worse.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
1071. You want to open
my little presents and then -
Copy !req
1072. Yeah, I am. Edie,
you ever see anything as cute as this?
Copy !req
1073. A little pad there
you can write your requests on.
Copy !req
1074. I need that more than anything
to write things down.
Copy !req
1075. I have my things written all over boxes,
all over the bed, everywhere.
Copy !req
1076. I got Epstein's address.
Copy !req
1077. I've got - Who have I got there, Edie?
Copy !req
1078. All the electricians in East Hampton.
Copy !req
1079. - All of 'em. Isn't that a nice book, Edie? Look.
- Terrific.
Copy !req
1080. I can't be late now and I can't forget.
Copy !req
1081. And I can't hate anybody
and I can't do anything.
Copy !req
1082. The little book is gonna keep me straight.
Straight as a die.
Copy !req
1083. Isn't that nice? I haven't had
a little thing like that in ages.
Copy !req
1084. - I had a wonderful time.
- Your hands are cold.
It did you no good, my food.
Copy !req
1085. - Oh, no.
- Your hands are cold, lady.
Copy !req
1086. Well, I must be on my course, I guess.
Copy !req
1087. - Good-bye.
- Well, so long, folks.
Copy !req
1088. Thank you for your card and your ice cream.
I love you very much.
Copy !req
1089. Oh, especially the ice cream.
Copy !req
1090. Bring me my yellow cushion, Edie.
Copy !req
1091. - Yeah.
- The cats are in here. Did you know it?
Copy !req
1092. The cats are in with me.
Copy !req
1093. Will you turn the heat off?
It is terribly hot in here.
Copy !req
1094. Your room is terribly dirty.
It's got to be cleaned.
Copy !req
1095. - Not tonight, Geraldine.
- There's a horrible smell. I can hardly sit here.
Copy !req
1096. I love that smell.
I thrive on it. Makes me feel good.
Copy !req
1097. We have to hang the portrait
and clean the room.
Copy !req
1098. No! Pull the chair out!
He wants to look at it!
Copy !req
1099. I'm not ashamed of anything.
Where my body is is a very precious place.
Copy !req
1100. It's "concentrated" ground.
Copy !req
1101. Consecrated.
Copy !req
1102. What are they
doing? Take a picture of Edie.
Copy !req
1103. I'm trying to think of - Oh, I know what
I can have. Oh, for goodness sakes, he is.
Copy !req
1104. My God.
Copy !req
1105. They see me as -
You know, you don't see me as I see myself.
Copy !req
1106. But you're very good,
what you do see me as.
Copy !req
1107. I mean, it's okay.
Copy !req
1108. - Are you pleased with those?
- You know, I see myself as a little girl.
Copy !req
1109. - And all that.
- What I see is a very immature child.
Copy !req
1110. She sees me as a baby, and I see myself
as... some kind of a little girl.
Copy !req
1111. They see me as a woman. I don't see that.
Copy !req
1112. But when I get out of here, I do.
Copy !req
1113. - You gonna babble on?
- When I go to New York City,
I see myself as a woman.
Copy !req
1114. But in here I'm just, you know,
Mother's little daughter.
Copy !req
1115. I doubt that very much.
You wanna play Al the record I bought you?
Copy !req
1116. Virginia Military Institute!
Copy !req
1117. Oh, my God.
I can't get over this. I really can't.
Copy !req
1118. And you can't dance at all.
Copy !req
1119. - Why can't I?
- I never saw you do anything military. Never.
Copy !req
1120. Are you absolutely crazy?
There isn't anything I can't do.
Copy !req
1121. Darling David,
where have you been all my life?
Copy !req
1122. Where have you been?
Where have you been? Where have you been?
Copy !req
1123. Where have you been?
Copy !req
1124. Only thing I needed was this man!
Copy !req
1125. What?
Copy !req
1126. - What did you say?
- All I needed was this man. David!
Copy !req
1127. I wish I'd had David and Al
with me before this.
Copy !req
1128. Yeah, well, you had your mother.
Copy !req
1129. Yeah.
Copy !req
1130. But they're more interested.
Copy !req
1131. Good Lord. I can't believe it.
Copy !req
1132. It's 145.
Copy !req
1133. Here, kitty,
I got a big, nice piece of white -
Copy !req
1134. Here, kitty.
Copy !req
1135. Here, kitty.
Copy !req
1136. You like that? That's nice.
No bones on that one.
Copy !req
1137. Oh, that's a pretty song.
"Don't Throw Bouquets at Me."
Copy !req
1138. You know, that was -
I was trying to think of the words to that.
Copy !req
1139. Hurry up. Don't what?
Copy !req
1140. No, that isn't it.
Copy !req
1141. You're not Czechoslovakian. "Love."
Copy !req
1142. You say that -
You see, she knows she sings so badly...
Copy !req
1143. that she has to wiggle
about 20 times to every note...
Copy !req
1144. you see, to distract the people, you know,
but she really can't sing it right.
Copy !req
1145. - I can sing like mad.
- You sing beautifully. You're singing incorrectly.
Copy !req
1146. Very ugly.
Always must do everything correctly.
Copy !req
1147. Now start at the top now.
Copy !req
1148. No, that's not it.
Copy !req
1149. "Ha har hee" doesn't make up
for a lot of words you can't remember.
Copy !req
1150. Oh,
don't do that omie thing again - "lahve."
Copy !req
1151. Where in hell did you come from?
Copy !req
1152. - I'm going to bed, kids.
- Okay.
Copy !req
1153. I love you very much, both of you.
Copy !req
1154. Why did you lose my pillow, Edie?
Copy !req
1155. I didn't know you were going to be
so disagreeable.
Copy !req
1156. If I only knew the words. Marlene Dietrich.
Copy !req
1157. That's an old war song, Mother.
Copy !req
1158. I tried to get you.
I called and called and called.
Copy !req
1159. - Oh, yeah?
- I guess you went out.
Copy !req
1160. - How's everything?
- Then I called again. You were busy.
Copy !req
1161. - What's going on?
- Guess what's happened.
Copy !req
1162. What?
Copy !req
1163. What I had felt was in the cards.
Copy !req
1164. I'm telling you, I'm not gonna spend
another 10 years with this.
Copy !req
1165. You know, I spent 10 years with the last.
Copy !req
1166. - You mean Tom Logan.
- What is it now?
Copy !req
1167. The Marble Faun is moving in.
Copy !req
1168. - Who is?
- The Marble Faun.
Copy !req
1169. - Jerry?
- Oh.
Copy !req
1170. He just gave us a washing machine.
Copy !req
1171. That cements the deal.
I gotta get out of here.
Copy !req
1172. I'm not gonna spend the rest of my life
washing clothes in that goddamn -
Copy !req
1173. - I don't blame you.
- It's a very nice washing machine.
Copy !req
1174. It came from this house they're gonna sell.
Copy !req
1175. You know, he had a job
as a gardener's assistant at this house.
Copy !req
1176. And they're gonna sell the house,
so they gave him the washing machine.
Copy !req
1177. But he's moving in.
Copy !req
1178. Oh.
Copy !req
1179. I can't watch him, I'm telling you.
Copy !req
1180. Of course, he's still gonna have
the gardening job, you know.
Copy !req
1181. But I think he gets home at 4:00.
Copy !req
1182. So, Mother says -
Do you wanna come in and speak to Mother?
Copy !req
1183. - She'd like to speak to you.
- Okay.
Copy !req
1184. Come on
in. I'm pulverized by this latest thing.
Copy !req
1185. Well, you do!
You have a beautiful face, like a girl.
Copy !req
1186. Like, you look like my mother.
Copy !req
1187. The absolute image of my mother, Jerry.
Copy !req
1188. Jerry, you're not going
to drink anything, are you?
Copy !req
1189. - No.
- Well, what are you gonna have?
Copy !req
1190. - I'll wait for the chicken.
- You're waiting for the chicken?
Copy !req
1191. You mean to say you're not
gonna have soup or a drink...
Copy !req
1192. or a highball or something like that?
Copy !req
1193. Don't you think we better have some rum?
Copy !req
1194. Oh, no. She didn't put any papers
on that thing today?
Copy !req
1195. I asked her to.
Jerry, I'm badly treated all along.
Copy !req
1196. I think my
days at Grey Gardens are limited.
Copy !req
1197. I think my days at Grey
Gardens are limited.
Copy !req
1198. Oh, Edie, quit it, for God's sake.
Copy !req
1199. There's an extra knife. I'll put it
in the middle. I forgot the forks.
Copy !req
1200. Do you mind getting my slippers, Edie?
Get my slippers.
Copy !req
1201. Will you, please?
You know where you put them.
Copy !req
1202. You have to get very tough with Edie.
Copy !req
1203. She won't do anything
till you get very, very tough.
Copy !req
1204. "A strong hand," says the priest.
Said, "she needs a strong hand."
Copy !req
1205. I said, "I know it. I brought Edie up
without her father. It was very difficult."
Copy !req
1206. Then she went to New York
and did what she wanted to do.
Copy !req
1207. You know, I wanted to get Mr. Beale back
and have him come back.
Copy !req
1208. She said she'd leave the house forever
if I had her father come back.
Copy !req
1209. Edie, will you bring my little radio?
It's on my bed.
Copy !req
1210. Will you bring my little radio, please?
Copy !req
1211. I've got to have some professional music.
Copy !req
1212. Quite remarkable.
Copy !req
1213. You got the radio, Edie?
Copy !req
1214. Put this up there. Will you, Edie, please?
Copy !req
1215. Put that up there. This thing.
Copy !req
1216. All right, if you're gonna stay there
and eat, I'll eat here.
Copy !req
1217. Now I'm gonna put that terrible
racket of Edie to bed.
Copy !req
1218. - She's always hated Marlene Dietrich.
- I can't stand that music.
Copy !req
1219. - She has.
She absolutely loathes Marlene Dietrich.
- She makes me very ill.
Copy !req
1220. I'll go right in the other room,
and I won't have any hot food or anything.
Copy !req
1221. Don't do it, Edie! I'll get so mad!
Copy !req
1222. - Listen, will you stop it?
I'm going in the other room.
- I'm singing it in American.
Copy !req
1223. - I'll never see you again, as long as I live.
- I'm singing it in American.
Copy !req
1224. I don't care. You're not gonna
sing that song. Stop it, will ya?
Copy !req
1225. - Why not?
- 'Cause I don't wanna hear it.
I'm your mother. Remember me?
Copy !req
1226. - Well, I stood for yours all these years.
- Come on.
Copy !req
1227. Well, my voice is beautiful and trained.
Copy !req
1228. I'm going right in the other room
with the cats where I'll be happy.
Copy !req
1229. I hope it does.
Something fell off just then.
Copy !req
1230. Get out of here.
Don't make me mad. Get out!
Copy !req
1231. - You're making me very angry!
Go out! Go away! Stop!
- Why?
Copy !req
1232. - Mother, look at your chest.
- Well, stop it!
Copy !req
1233. - Yeah, but they're gonna photograph it.
- Well, stop it! Stop that silly nonsense!
Copy !req
1234. - Quit it!
- I can't have any fun in this house.
Copy !req
1235. Go away.
You had enough fun all your life.
Copy !req
1236. I've never had a minute's fun.
Not a minute.
Copy !req
1237. - I never had a minute's fun.
- Go away! You don't look it!
Copy !req
1238. Well, you made a rotten breakfast.
Copy !req
1239. Horrible. You spoiled the whole thing.
I can't go over to my seat now.
Copy !req
1240. - There's no back to this bathing suit.
- We won't look.
Copy !req
1241. Mother, do you realize that your
whole chest was showing in that movie?
Copy !req
1242. Everything is perfectly
disgusting on account of you.
Copy !req
1243. You did it. You sure do bring out
the worst in your mother.
Copy !req
1244. I think Mother's very mean to me.
Copy !req
1245. I'm glad I stopped you.
Copy !req
1246. Thank God. I'll have a little peace here.
Copy !req
1247. Yeah, but I do several versions of that.
Copy !req
1248. She's got a beautiful voice,
but you never heard it.
Copy !req
1249. You never heard her voice.
She can really sing decently.
Copy !req
1250. Sings very well. Better voice than I have.
Copy !req
1251. But not that song.
Copy !req
1252. Now sing "Only a Rose," now, Edie.
You ought to be able to do that.
Copy !req
1253. To keep in harmony.
Copy !req
1254. I don't think there's any point
in my meeting anybody...
Copy !req
1255. that doesn't like music,
do you, Mother?
Copy !req
1256. 'Cause I can't stand them.
Finally, I can't stand them.
Copy !req
1257. There's something lacking,
and it's music, isn't it?
Copy !req
1258. I mean, in a man.
Copy !req
1259. Well, it is nice to have a man
who can play the piano for you.
Copy !req
1260. - No, that isn't all. She doesn't get it.
- Then you can practice.
Copy !req
1261. Unless a man understands music,
there's no point in my even meeting him...
Copy !req
1262. 'cause I never could
figure out what was wrong...
Copy !req
1263. you know, with stockbrokers
and tennis players and -
Copy !req
1264. I tell you who was a songwriter and a
dancer and a playwright and everything.
Copy !req
1265. Eugene Tyszkiewicz.
But Mother got rid of him in 15 minutes.
Copy !req
1266. He couldn't speak English well.
He'd only been here seven years.
Copy !req
1267. You didn't try his cooking.
He might've poisoned you.
Copy !req
1268. - He was Serge Obelensky's nephew.
- You wanna marry a stranger?
Copy !req
1269. I mean, he was a very, very decent guy.
Copy !req
1270. - I looked up his horoscope.
He was born November the 14th.
- You want to marry a stranger?
Copy !req
1271. - I have to go in now.
- He was a very wonderful boy.
Copy !req
1272. - Too young for me, probably-32.
- Who was this?
Copy !req
1273. Eugene Tyszkiewicz. He was a twin.
Copy !req
1274. - I couldn't stand having
another cook in this house.
- That isn't the point.
Copy !req
1275. And he actually proposed,
under the window.
Copy !req
1276. - He had no home.
He was living in a third-class hotel.
- Under the window.
Copy !req
1277. - He didn't have a thing.
- He said, "Edith, if you want
to get married, I'll marry you."
Copy !req
1278. - Not one single nickel.
- And I think that was decent, don't you?
Copy !req
1279. - I don't see why.
- He probably wouldn't have, but just the same.
Copy !req
1280. Not one person had entered
Grey Gardens for many years...
Copy !req
1281. before Eugene Tyszkiewicz came around.
Copy !req
1282. So I credit him
with all the nerve in the world.
Copy !req
1283. Why, no one would even speak to us.
Copy !req
1284. People that I had walked
to the Maidstone Club with for years.
Copy !req
1285. - Don't believe a word of it.
- Admiring all the other people.
Copy !req
1286. - Don't believe a word of it, kid. Not a word.
- All the other people -
Copy !req
1287. If your father could hear you,
he'd turn in his grave.
Copy !req
1288. He'd say, "My God, Edie!"
Copy !req
1289. Well, anyway,
I think you were very cruel, Mother.
Copy !req
1290. - I don't think he's nice.
- He came from one of
the best families in Poland.
Copy !req
1291. And he was related to the Obelenskys.
Copy !req
1292. And I think it's terrible that she wouldn't
give me a chance with Eugene Tyszkiewicz.
Copy !req
1293. - That was absolutely cruel
to drive the only beau away!
- But he was 32!
Copy !req
1294. - Do you want to marry a man 32?
- I don't care!
Copy !req
1295. That was the only one besides these
horrible people that came around here!
Copy !req
1296. - Have you got your thing lighted for that?
- Yeah, we're all lit.
Copy !req
1297. - He was only 32 and from a very good family!
- 32, and she's 52!
Copy !req
1298. - And she got rid of him in 15 minutes flat!
- No, he didn't. He said -
Copy !req
1299. I'm bored with all these awful people
like Jerry, and all those people!
Copy !req
1300. That wasn't the truth. No.
Copy !req
1301. Tell him the truth. That was not the truth.
Copy !req
1302. Uh, no, and that was not the truth.
Copy !req
1303. He said, "How could such a warm,
lovely person over the telephone...
Copy !req
1304. turn into anything so cold?"
Copy !req
1305. That's what he said
right down on the porch.
Copy !req
1306. So I said - I said, "You'd better go home."
Never said good-bye or anything.
Copy !req
1307. "How could such a warm, lovely woman over
the telephone turn into something so cold?"
Copy !req
1308. I thought that was just a little too much.
Copy !req
1309. Uh, I'll tell you the whole thing.
You might as well face it.
Copy !req
1310. It's my mother's house, and she owns it...
Copy !req
1311. and she wanted the people
she wanted in it...
Copy !req
1312. and she didn't want the people
that I wanted in it.
Copy !req
1313. But God knows whom I wanted in it.
Copy !req
1314. I mean, besides Eugene...
Copy !req
1315. and mother wouldn't allow Eugene
to stay even 15 minutes.
Copy !req
1316. But I had to spend 10 years with Tom Logan.
Copy !req
1317. And now we have Jerry,
who is Mother's friend.
Copy !req
1318. So, you just can't do anything about it.
Copy !req
1319. So I can see now why girls get married.
Copy !req
1320. You know, they're forced into it.
Copy !req
1321. It's all a question
of who you want to stay with.
Copy !req
1322. Of course, I'm mad about animals, but
raccoons and cats become a little bit boring.
Copy !req
1323. I mean, for too long a time.
Copy !req
1324. I don't know.
Copy !req
1325. I don't know.
I better check on Mother and the cats.
Copy !req
1326. She's a lot of fun. I hope she doesn't die.
Copy !req
1327. I hate to spend the winter here though.
Oh, God.
Copy !req
1328. Another winter.
Copy !req
1329. Very depressing,
you know, when winter sets in here.
Copy !req
1330. You know, 'cause I don't like the country,
and I don't want to be here.
Copy !req
1331. Any little rat -
Copy !req
1332. Any little rat's nest in New York...
Copy !req
1333. any little mouse hole,
any little rat hole...
Copy !req
1334. even on 10th Avenue, I would like better.
Copy !req
