It's wonderful.Copy !req

195. You may keep
the doll and the bracelet.Copy !req

198. This one.Copy !req
199. Darling,Copy !req

202. That's right.Copy !req
203. That's good, but you've got
to push off more with your weight.Copy !req
204. - Come on, let's see another one.
- She's had enough, Joan.Copy !req
205. But I'm tired, Mommie.Copy !req
206. Quitter.Copy !req
207. All right, ready?Copy !req
208. One, two, three, dive!Copy !req
209. Better, but you gotta keep your legs
together when you go in the water.Copy !req
210. She's only a kid.Copy !req
211. So was I. Only a kid.Copy !req
212. I learned early.Copy !req
213. You know,
life goes by too damned fast.Copy !req
214. You've gotta know
how to compete and win.Copy !req
215. I don't want her growing up
a spoiled Hollywood bratCopy !req
216. just because
she's Crawford's daughter.Copy !req
217. - It's lovely, isn't it?
- Yes, it is.Copy !req
218. It's a great Sunday
at home with a star.Copy !req
219. You know, we hardly ever have
nice days like this anymore.Copy !req
220. I've got an appointment.Copy !req
221. They call, you run.Copy !req
222. Who calls, I run?Copy !req
223. Nobody.Copy !req
224. Then why do you say that?Copy !req
225. Because I'm damn mad at you!Copy !req
226. Why?Copy !req
227. Look, this script is the best script
the studio hasCopy !req
228. and it hasn't been offered to me.
You could help.Copy !req
229. Joan, that's Mayer's business.Copy !req
230. I never tell a man I respect
how to run his business.Copy !req
231. They think I'm slipping.Copy !req
232. - Are you?
- No.Copy !req
233. So?Copy !req
234. Yes.Copy !req
235. I just want that part.Copy !req
236. I want you, too.Copy !req
237. You got me.Copy !req
238. Have a good time, Tina.Copy !req
239. Thanks, Uncle Greg. I love you.Copy !req
240. Who wants to go swimming?Copy !req
241. I do!Copy !req
242. I'll race you.Copy !req
243. On your mark, get set, go!Copy !req

249. and go!Copy !req
250. You lost again.Copy !req
251. It's not fair.Copy !req
252. You're bigger than I am.
It's not fair to win twice.Copy !req
253. But nobody ever said
that life was fair, Tina.Copy !req
254. I'm bigger and I'm faster.Copy !req
255. I will always beat you.Copy !req
256. Then I'm not gonna play with you
anymore, ever!Copy !req
257. Don't you everCopy !req
258. use that tone of voice with me, missy!Copy !req
259. Who do you think you're talking to?

276. Ever had.Copy !req
277. And he's burying me alive.Copy !req
278. He's not gonna beat me.
He's not gonna make me sorry.Copy !req

This ought to teach you!Copy !req
347. You're vain, spoiled.Copy !req

352. Mommie, I cannot
go to school like this.Copy !req

- Good evening.Copy !req
360. Welcome. Your booth is ready.Copy !req
361. Excuse me.Copy !req
362. I'm glad to see
they finally let go of you.Copy !req
363. We were about
to send out a rescue party.Copy !req
364. Hello, L.B., what a pleasant surprise.Copy !req
365. Joanie. I want you to meet a few
financial friends from New York.Copy !req
366. They're bankers.Copy !req
367. - Mr. Lubin.
- It's a pleasure.Copy !req
368. - Mr. Dodd.
- Mr. Dodd.Copy !req
369. - How do you do?
- Please sit down. Join us.Copy !req
370. My daughter, Helen, would love
to have your signature, Miss Crawford.Copy !req
371. Of course.Copy !req
372. You see, she didn't ask
for L.B. Mayer's signature.Copy !req
373. That's because
she's not as smart as her father.Copy !req
374. She doesn't know that
you are the king.Copy !req
375. Thank you.Copy !req
376. Where are you going?
Come join us. We're having dinner.Copy !req
377. You're one of the reasons
bankers love Metro.Copy !req
378. Thank you, L.B.,
but our table is ready.Copy !req
379. I insist.Copy !req
380. You're aces, Joanie.Copy !req
381. I'm glad you think that, L.B.,
because aces beat kings.Copy !req
382. Not in Hollywood, dear.Copy !req
383. I'm sure you'll find the interest
arrangements quite agreeable.Copy !req
384. That'll be just fine, L.B.Copy !req
385. We'll all meet in New York.Copy !req
386. Hauling me over to Mayer's table
like some picked-up floozyCopy !req
387. or one of those starletsCopy !req
388. out to give the big shots
a nice night in town.Copy !req
389. Is that what you think of me?Copy !req
390. How many drinks is that?Copy !req
391. When you were a kid,
that made you look sexy.Copy !req
392. Now it just makes you look drunk.Copy !req
393. I may as well have "property of MGM"
tattooed on my backside!Copy !req
394. Damn it, Perino's is my place.Copy !req
395. Nobody wanted my signature,
so I just walked in.Copy !req
396. You expect me to ignore my fans?Copy !req
397. They are life and death to me, baby.Copy !req
398. They're the ones who really made me.Copy !req
399. I expect you to walk in with me
and sit down at your table with me.Copy !req
400. Then Mayer would have
to bring his bankers over,Copy !req
401. introduce them,
get your autograph and leave.Copy !req
402. That's what you should've done!Copy !req
403. Maybe that's what I would've done,Copy !req
404. if you'd been nice enough
to stay out there with me,Copy !req
405. help me through the crowdCopy !req
406. and into the restaurant
like a gentlemen!Copy !req
407. Why are you screaming?Copy !req
408. Because I'm damn mad!Copy !req
409. Damn it, Greg.
How can you put Mayer over me?Copy !req
410. You know that son of a bitch
is trying to destroy my career.Copy !req
411. If your career's in trouble,
it has nothing to do with him.Copy !req
412. Then what is it?Copy !req
413. You were always the shop girl
who fought her way to the top,Copy !req
414. made a great success.Copy !req
415. You're not a little shop girl anymore.Copy !req
416. Now, that's the truth to face
and deal with, if you want to survive.Copy !req
417. The truth is, you're getting old.Copy !req
418. Yeah.Copy !req
419. You're nothing
but a rotten crooked lawyerCopy !req
420. supplying the grease that makes
this shitty movie business work.Copy !req
421. You think your life's a mystery.Copy !req
422. There isn't a dirty cover-up
in this entire businessCopy !req
423. that I don't know about,
and your hand is in every one of them!Copy !req
424. You reek of it!Copy !req
425. Damn you! Are you crazy?Copy !req
426. No person talks to me like that.
No one anywhere!Copy !req
427. Are you crazy? Are you? Tell me!Copy !req
428. - Tell me.
- I'm crazy.Copy !req
429. I didn't mean that, Greg.Copy !req
430. I didn't mean it.Copy !req
431. Get up.Copy !req

479. I'm sorry, Joan.Copy !req
480. Have Tina bring me up my coffee.Copy !req
481. All right, Joan.Copy !req
482. I'm sorry, Mommie.Copy !req

485. You promised last night. You promised.Copy !req
486. Look, I told you
how important today is to Mommie.Copy !req
487. I explained why, didn't I, Tina?Copy !req
488. I'm sorry, Mommie.Copy !req
489. Go to your room until I come for you.Copy !req
490. You're very, very bad
to wake Mommie up like that.Copy !req
491. Very naughty.Copy !req
492. I told you
Mommie has to be beautiful today.Copy !req
493. This afternoon
she has to see Mr. Mayer.Copy !req
494. Today is so important.Copy !req
495. You are selfish and thoughtless.Copy !req
496. You must learn
to think about other people.Copy !req
497. You're bad, bad, spoiled children.Copy !req
498. My babies.Copy !req
499. Someone stole both my babies.Copy !req
500. That's good, darling.Copy !req
501. They were thoughtless,
selfish, spoiled children.Copy !req
502. Now they won't wake you up
when you need your rest.Copy !req

507. Thank you, Connie.Copy !req
508. Joan.Copy !req

510. Eighteen years in the business,
and who could hold a candle to you?Copy !req
511. - You're always so kind.
- Kind?Copy !req
512. Of all my picture family,
who turned out best?Copy !req
513. Who never let me down? Joan Crawford.Copy !req
514. To all the new kids coming up,
she's like a diamond.Copy !req
515. Class.Copy !req
516. L.B...Copy !req
517. Have I ever lied to you
in your whole careerCopy !req
518. or given you one piece of bad advice?Copy !req
519. Never.Copy !req
520. Never.Copy !req
521. Your treatment of me has been divine.Copy !req
522. Joan, my Joan,
you're in a position to do me a favor.Copy !req
523. It will be as big a favor for you
as it is for me.Copy !req
524. You don't have to ask.Copy !req
525. You only have to tell me.Copy !req
526. Good. I want you to leave Metro.Copy !req
527. Leave Metro?Copy !req
528. Leave Metro?Copy !req
529. Your pictures, one after another,
are losing money.Copy !req
530. Theater owners voted you
box office poison.Copy !req
531. Even so, for years,
I've paid no attention.Copy !req
532. You know me, Joan.
I don't give up so easily.Copy !req
533. We'll pay you off on your contract,Copy !req
534. but you can't afford to make
three or four more losers for us.Copy !req
535. It's the scripts, L.B.Copy !req
536. - Bad pictures, bad directors.
- Bad with you, good with others.Copy !req
537. No, listen to me, L.B.
I have been begging you,Copy !req
538. begging you for a good script.Copy !req
539. Now, you've always given me
my share of bad moviesCopy !req
540. because you knew I'd make them work.Copy !req
541. I can't keep doing it, L.B.Copy !req
542. Listen with your ears
and not with your pride.Copy !req
543. With me, feeling is more important
than money.Copy !req
544. You're a great star.
You're Hollywood royalty.Copy !req
545. But styles change.Copy !req
546. You'll leave.Copy !req
547. We have creative differences.Copy !req
548. We don't want to fight
or argue with each otherCopy !req
549. because we love each other.Copy !req
550. Every studio will think
they're smarter than L.B.Copy !req
551. They'll try to finesse me.Copy !req
552. You'll be offered
one, two, three, four, five films.Copy !req
553. You may even get a hit.Copy !req
554. Will you be sorry then?Copy !req
555. I'm sorry now.Copy !req
556. But here there's no confidence,
there's no hope.Copy !req
557. It's time for a change.Copy !req
558. New faces, new voices,
a breath of fresh air, who knows?Copy !req
559. Don't do this to yourself.Copy !req
560. I'll...Copy !req
561. I'll have my maid and studio people
clear out my bungalow.Copy !req
562. - I have a lot of years to collect.
- It's done, Joan.Copy !req
563. They've packed your things.
They're loading your car.Copy !req
564. You mean everybody already knows?Copy !req
565. That we parted friends
because we didn't agree.Copy !req
566. Will you walk me to my car?Copy !req
567. Hollywood royalty.Copy !req
568. I'm Hollywood royalty!Copy !req
569. No, we parted friends.Copy !req
570. Everyone already knows.Copy !req
571. Box office poison.Copy !req
572. Box office poison.Copy !req
573. Class, you're class.Copy !req
574. You're class!Copy !req
575. Box office poison!Copy !req
576. Wake up, wake up. Come on, children.
Come on, come on. Wake up, wake up.Copy !req
577. - What's happening?
- Come on.Copy !req
578. Your mother wants you downstairs
in the rose garden. Come on, hurry up.Copy !req
579. You, too, Christopher. Come on.Copy !req
580. Come on. Come along.
Your mother wants you right away.Copy !req
581. Eighteen years in the business.Copy !req
582. Parted friends!Copy !req
583. Creative differences!Copy !req
584. Good. I want some help here.Copy !req
585. I want all of these branches
cleared out of here now!Copy !req
586. Carol Ann and Christopher, start
clearing away all these branches.Copy !req
587. Start gathering them up.Copy !req
588. Go on, get the wheelbarrow
and the rake.Copy !req
589. Tina!Copy !req
590. Bring me the ax!Copy !req
591. For Christ's sake, Carol Ann, get
some more emotion into the scene,Copy !req
592. some expression in the lines.Copy !req
593. I can't keep the emotion up
if you don't come in right away.Copy !req
594. Let's... After the uniform.Copy !req
595. Downtown restaurants.Copy !req
596. My mother a common waitress.Copy !req
597. I took the best job I could find
so that you and your sister could eatCopy !req
598. and have a place to sleep
and some clothes on your backs.Copy !req
599. Aren't the pies enough?
Do you have to degrade us?Copy !req
600. Veda, don't say that.Copy !req
601. I'm really not surprised.Copy !req
602. You've never spoken of your people,
who you came from,Copy !req
603. so perhaps it's natural.Copy !req
604. Maybe that's why Father left!Copy !req
605. I'm sorry I did that.Copy !req
606. I'd have rather cut off my hand.Copy !req
607. Your mother's been
practicing and practicing.Copy !req
608. You know how perfect
she always wants to be.Copy !req
609. This time she must be perfect.Copy !req
610. Do you understand?Copy !req
611. She wants everything to be perfect.Copy !req
612. This time it's even more important.Copy !req
613. They're making your mother
take a screen test.Copy !req
614. Do you know what that is?Copy !req
615. When they're not sure they want you?Copy !req
616. And you know
how shameful that is for her?Copy !req
617. She wants this film.Copy !req
618. She knows she's right.Copy !req
619. She is this character, Mildred Pierce.Copy !req
620. We have to help her.
We will, won't we?Copy !req
621. I will.Copy !req
622. I will.Copy !req
623. Christina,
you haven't touched your lunch.Copy !req
624. It's raw.Copy !req
625. It's rare, not raw.Copy !req
626. But it's got all this red juice
when I push on it.Copy !req
627. Then don't push on it.Copy !req
628. Darling, rare meat is good for you.
The doctor said so.Copy !req
629. Christina,Copy !req
630. meat loses its vitamins
if it's overcooked.Copy !req
631. But I've had my vitamins this morning.Copy !req

- Thank you.Copy !req
853. Very proud.Copy !req
854. Now, what about
your Christmas card list?Copy !req
855. Christmas cards?Copy !req
856. I've been studying for exams.Copy !req
857. I'll get the cards out on time, okay?Copy !req
858. You know, Tina, being away at school
has made you more rebellious.Copy !req
859. I am not a baby anymore.Copy !req
860. Maybe you'd be better off at home.Copy !req
861. I'm sorry.Copy !req
862. - I have had a lot of schoolwork.
- Times are tough.Copy !req
863. Still, I treat you
to a lovely evening.Copy !req
864. What do I get? Smart aleck backtalk.Copy !req
865. I'm sorry, Mommie dearest.Copy !req
866. It's all right.Copy !req
867. I've had to let Helga go.Copy !req
868. I'll need your help at home
this weekend.Copy !req
869. Let's have a lovely evening.Copy !req
870. Shall we?Copy !req
871. - God, you scared me.
- Sorry, Tina.Copy !req
872. - How are you doing?
- Okay.Copy !req
873. - About finished?
- Almost.Copy !req
874. Sit down, Tina.
I want to talk to you about something.Copy !req
875. What did I do?Copy !req
876. It's not you.Copy !req
877. Tina darling, I...Copy !req
878. I'm having
some financial difficulties.Copy !req
879. I just spoke to Mrs. Chadwick.Copy !req
880. She's agreed to let you go
on a work scholarship program.Copy !req
881. That's all right.Copy !req
882. We'll manage.Copy !req
883. You know, I was
on a work scholarship program.Copy !req
884. Worked my way through school
scrubbing floors, mostly.Copy !req
885. Work.Copy !req
886. What is it?Copy !req
887. There is something else.Copy !req
888. I lost my contract at Warner's.Copy !req
889. I have... I don't feel I have anybody.Copy !req
890. No contract.Copy !req
891. No studio.Copy !req
892. No money.Copy !req
893. Tina, I don't know what I'm gonna do.Copy !req
894. What am I gonna do?Copy !req
895. It'll be okay.Copy !req
896. We'll manage.Copy !req
897. I'm scared, Tina.Copy !req
898. I'm scared.Copy !req
899. After all those years,
I never thought it could happen to me.Copy !req
900. I don't know what I'm gonna do.Copy !req
901. I don't know what I'm gonna do.Copy !req
902. Don't worry.Copy !req
903. Mommie, I love you.Copy !req
904. Mommie?Copy !req
905. Mommie?Copy !req
906. I came up to say good night to you.Copy !req
907. Mommie?Copy !req
908. Mommie?Copy !req
909. Mommie?Copy !req
910. Mommie?Copy !req
911. Carol Ann! Carol Ann!Copy !req
912. - What is it?
- Something's happened.Copy !req
913. - What's the matter?
- I don't know.Copy !req
914. I came in and I found her like this.Copy !req
915. - I think she needs an ambulance.
- She doesn't need an ambulance.Copy !req
916. She's drunk.Copy !req
917. Come on, let's put her to bed.Copy !req
918. Joan.Copy !req
919. When did she buy all of these?Copy !req
920. Two days ago.
They were delivered this afternoon.Copy !req
921. Come on, Joan. Get up, get up.Copy !req
922. She told me we were broke.Copy !req
923. Come on, help me.
Stop it, help me, come on.Copy !req
924. Come on, Joan. Come on.
Give me the pillow.Copy !req
925. Give me the pillow. Give me that.Copy !req
926. Give me the... Oh, God. God.Copy !req
927. Lousy substitute
for someone who really cares.Copy !req
928. Christina darling.Copy !req
929. - Christina darling.
- Come on, Joan.Copy !req
930. - Christina darling.
- Sorry it has to be like this.Copy !req
931. - For you, for her.
- Christina darling.Copy !req
932. Come on, Joan. Joan.Copy !req
933. - It all comes out in the wash.
- Come on.Copy !req
934. Hold on to me, Joan. Hold on.Copy !req
935. - Hi, Tony.
- Hi.Copy !req
936. You handle that horse pretty well
for a lousy rider.Copy !req
937. Yeah, he's a great horse.
Wanna ride him?Copy !req
938. - When?
- When you want to.Copy !req
939. I work all day.Copy !req
940. How about tonight? I'll go with you.Copy !req
941. - What about Vera?
- She's just a friend.Copy !req
942. - 8:30?
- Right here?Copy !req
943. - Okay.
- Okay.Copy !req
944. - That's my first kiss.
- I'll bet.Copy !req
945. Kind of.Copy !req
946. Swell. This is really swell!Copy !req
947. - Vera.
- I'm going to tell.Copy !req
948. I am. I am going to tell!Copy !req
949. How? How could this happen?
How could you humiliate me this way?Copy !req
950. I am ashamed to be your mother!Copy !req
951. And you,
how could you have let this happen?Copy !req
952. Both students have been
put on probationCopy !req
953. and will have no privileges
for a month.Copy !req
954. "Probation"? This is appalling!Copy !req
955. I have devoted myself to making
Christina a proper young lady.Copy !req
956. That boy should be expelled!Copy !req
957. Now, Miss Crawford, when this sort of
thing has happened before, we...Copy !req
958. Before?Copy !req
959. Is this an institution of learning
or a teenage brothel?Copy !req
960. Chadwick has an impeccable reputation!Copy !req
961. And when students break the rules,
we curtail their freedom.Copy !req
962. We are leaving here right now.Copy !req
963. Obviously, she cannot be controlled
in this environment.Copy !req
964. Nothing really happened between
your daughter and the young man.Copy !req
965. - It was innocent.
- No thanks to you!Copy !req
966. I think you're overreacting,
Miss Crawford!Copy !req
967. And I think you're under-reacting,
Mrs. Chadwick!Copy !req
968. My compliments to your school
on its impeccable reputation.Copy !req
969. Christina, come on!Copy !req
970. There's a liquor store to the right.Copy !req
971. I should have known you'd know
where to find the boys and the booze.Copy !req
972. All right. Tina, look at me.Copy !req
973. Barbara Bennett is here from New York,
doing a cover story on me for Redbook.Copy !req
974. Tina, look at meCopy !req
975. when I'm talking to you.Copy !req
976. This is very important to me.Copy !req
977. I don't want any trouble from you!Copy !req
978. - We're back.
- You're gonna love this.Copy !req
979. Movie star manages to have it all.Copy !req
980. Career, home and family!Copy !req
981. Let me see that.Copy !req
982. My God, Christina.Copy !req
983. It can't be.Copy !req
984. The last time I saw you,
you were four.Copy !req
985. - How are you, Miss Bennett?
- God, call me Barbara.Copy !req
986. They're teaching you
some fancy manners at Chadwick.Copy !req
987. That's not all
they've been teaching her.Copy !req
988. - How do you like school?
- Very much, thank you.Copy !req
989. - She got expelled.
- That's a lie.Copy !req
990. Excuse me, Barbara.Copy !req
991. Christina, I want to talk to youCopy !req
992. in the other room.Copy !req
993. - Why do you deliberately defy me?
- Why did you tell her I got expelled?Copy !req
994. Because you did get expelled!Copy !req
995. That is a lie.Copy !req
996. You love it, don't you?Copy !req
997. You love to make me hit you!Copy !req
998. - Joan.
- Barbara, please!Copy !req
999. Please, Barbara!
Leave us alone, Barbara.Copy !req
1000. If you need anything, ask Carol Ann.Copy !req
1001. This is wonderful. This is wonderful!Copy !req
1002. You...Copy !req
1003. You deliberately embarrass me
in front of a reporter!Copy !req
1004. A reporter.Copy !req
1005. I told you how important
this is to me! I told you!Copy !req
1006. Why did you adopt me?Copy !req
1007. What?Copy !req
1008. Why did you adopt me?Copy !req
1009. Because I wanted a child.Copy !req
1010. Because I wanted someone to love.Copy !req
1011. Don't you act for me.Copy !req
1012. I wanna know.Copy !req
1013. Why did you adopt me?Copy !req
1014. Maybe I did it
for a little extra publicity.Copy !req
1015. Tina, that's not true.Copy !req
1016. You know that's not true.Copy !req
1017. Maybe just a little true.Copy !req
1018. I don't know what to do with you.Copy !req
1019. I don't know what to do with you.Copy !req
1020. Why not?Copy !req
1021. I don't ask much from you, girl.Copy !req
1022. Why can't you give me
the respect that I'm entitled to?Copy !req
1023. Why can't you treat meCopy !req
1024. like I would be treated
by any stranger on the street?Copy !req
1025. Because I am not one of your fans!Copy !req
1026. - Mommie!
- You never loved me!Copy !req
1027. Mommie!Copy !req
1028. - Taken! Taken! Taken!
- Mommie!Copy !req
1029. You hated me! You never loved me!Copy !req
1030. Never! Never!Copy !req
1031. You've always taken and taken!Copy !req
1032. - Mommie!
- You never wanted to be my daughter!Copy !req
1033. You've always taken everything!Copy !req
1034. Everything you ever need!Copy !req
1035. And you have neverCopy !req
1036. loved me!Copy !req
1037. Joan, stop! You're going to kill her!Copy !req
1038. Get out!Copy !req
1039. Get out!Copy !req
1040. Mommie.Copy !req
1041. Dear Christina,Copy !req
1042. God has brought you
to our convent schoolCopy !req
1043. so that you can see
the error of your ways.Copy !req
1044. Your mother has told us
how difficult you've been,Copy !req
1045. both at home
and at your former school.Copy !req
1046. She has requested
the strictest discipline for you.Copy !req
1047. There will be no privileges.Copy !req
1048. You're not to leave the school.Copy !req
1049. There will be no telephone calls,
in or out.Copy !req
1050. No visitors. No mail.Copy !req
1051. You have sinned in the past,Copy !req
1052. transgressed against
the holy commandments,Copy !req
1053. but you shall find forgiveness here,Copy !req
1054. and be cleansed.Copy !req
1055. Let us pray together
for your repentance.Copy !req
1056. The good Lord will grace you
with his comfort and guidance.Copy !req
1057. To Joan and Alfred,
a long and happy marriage.Copy !req
1058. - Good luck.
- Hear, hear.Copy !req
1059. - Good luck.
- Hear, hear.Copy !req
1060. Hold it. Hold it.
Look this way, please.Copy !req
1061. That's lovely. Thank you.Copy !req
1062. Alfred darling, I'm so happy.Copy !req
1063. - Speech!
- Speech.Copy !req
1064. Time for a speech.Copy !req
1065. Thank you all for being here
on such short notice.Copy !req
1066. If this marriage comes as a surprise
to some of you,Copy !req
1067. just think how I felt
when Joan said yes.Copy !req
1068. You know, a few minutes ago,
a reporter asked me what I thoughtCopy !req
1069. and how I would describe the marriage
between the soft drink kingCopy !req
1070. and the queen of Hollywood.Copy !req
1071. I told him
I thought it was a hell of a match!Copy !req
1072. Yeah.Copy !req
1073. That's my pally.Copy !req
1074. Pally. That's what he calls you
when he can't remember your name.Copy !req
1075. Don't you let her kid you.Copy !req
1076. I remember her name.
It's Mrs. Alfred Steele.Copy !req
1077. - Right, pally?
- Right.Copy !req
1078. Thank you, Sister,Copy !req
1079. for being so good to me.Copy !req
1080. These years have beenCopy !req
1081. very hard.Copy !req
1082. Goodbye, dear child.Copy !req
1083. God be with you.Copy !req
1084. Thank you.Copy !req
1085. No, thanks. I can manage it. I'm okay.Copy !req
1086. Mommie?Copy !req
1087. I miss you too, darling.Copy !req
1088. Yes, but you get to New York so often.Copy !req
1089. You know? We'll see each other there.Copy !req
1090. Yes, I've put the house up for sale.
Alfred travels so muchCopy !req
1091. and corporate headquarters
are in New York.Copy !req
1092. Darling, my daughter's here.
I'll talk to you before we leave.Copy !req
1093. Love to you, too.Copy !req
1094. Hello, Mother.Copy !req
1095. Christina.
I want you to meet my husband.Copy !req
1096. What do I call him?Copy !req
1097. What would you call anyone
who's your father?Copy !req
1098. Go introduce yourself. Go on.Copy !req
1099. Hello, Daddy. I'm Christina.Copy !req
1100. Hello, Arthur.Copy !req
1101. I don't know what to do.Copy !req
1102. That bitch of a bearing wall
is blocking my view.Copy !req
1103. I'll tell you what to do.Copy !req
1104. Tear down that bitch of a bearing wallCopy !req
1105. and put a window where it ought to be!Copy !req
1106. Tina, what do you think?Copy !req
1107. It'll be great.Copy !req
1108. - Darling, coffee?
- Yeah, sure.Copy !req
1109. - Tina darling, coffee?
- Okay.Copy !req
1110. - So, you're acting?
- Yeah.Copy !req
1111. - Where?
- Mostly in stock.Copy !req
1112. I think I may be pretty good.Copy !req
1113. Good luck, darling.Copy !req
1114. I have been working nightsCopy !req
1115. so I can go on interviews
during the day.Copy !req
1116. See, but the thing is, I...Copy !req
1117. I was wondering
if you could lend me a little money,Copy !req
1118. you know, to get by this month.Copy !req
1119. Not a cent.Copy !req
1120. Joan, come on. A little something.Copy !req
1121. Doing things on your own is best.Copy !req
1122. Don't you agree, Tina?Copy !req
1123. Sure.Copy !req
1124. I'll get by.Copy !req
1125. Between us.Copy !req
1126. Now, the sofa... This is wonderful.Copy !req
1127. And this chair...Copy !req
1128. That is my favorite.
I knew you'd like it.Copy !req
1129. It's my favorite, too.
All on the terrace.Copy !req
1130. Would you excuse us
for a minute, please?Copy !req
1131. Al, look at this.
It's perfect except for the colors.Copy !req
1132. They're too strong.Copy !req
1133. And I want you to look at these.Copy !req
1134. I hate to bring this up,Copy !req
1135. but we're gonna have to cut back
on our spending.Copy !req
1136. What are you talking about?Copy !req
1137. Al, I'm doing all this for you.Copy !req
1138. I'm turning this apartment
into your showplace.Copy !req
1139. You're doing a marvelous job,
but we've got to economize.Copy !req
1140. Most of our expenses, including
this apartment, are for your company.Copy !req
1141. We have to look great for Pepsi-Cola!Copy !req
1142. I want us to look great, and I want us
to live well, but there's a limit.Copy !req
1143. We're going into debt.Copy !req
1144. Al, you're a great businessman.Copy !req
1145. Now, you and your company
have found yourselves a movie starCopy !req
1146. to sell your soda pop.Copy !req
1147. Well, you gotta pay the price.Copy !req
1148. Come on, pally, be reasonable.Copy !req
1149. You've got everything you need
for this place.Copy !req
1150. Just look at this joint!Copy !req
1151. You genius of the soft drink world,Copy !req
1152. get the goddamned company
to pay the bill!Copy !req
1153. Joan, you've got to understand!Copy !req
1154. It's a public company,
for Christ's sake.Copy !req
1155. This isn't Hollywood,Copy !req
1156. where someone takes care of things
with a phone call!Copy !req
1157. This is the real world!Copy !req
1158. The real world expects us
to live in a certain way.Copy !req
1159. Yeah, well, that way
is breaking my back.Copy !req
1160. We'll find a solution.Copy !req
1161. You love a challenge.Copy !req
1162. Okay, pally.Copy !req
1163. Miss Crawford,Copy !req
1164. the condolences of every person
at Pepsi-Cola are with you.Copy !req
1165. Al Steele helped make this company.Copy !req
1166. And you were right by his side,
sharing the burdens and the joy.Copy !req
1167. And we want to give you ample time
to repay the debt.Copy !req
1168. Plenty of time.Copy !req
1169. Of course, we'll have to take
the Fifth Avenue apartment.Copy !req
1170. You probably wouldn't
wanna stay there alone anyway.Copy !req
1171. What debt?
I've got 100,000 shares of stock.Copy !req
1172. Your husband had to borrow
against the stockCopy !req
1173. to pay for the construction
on your apartment.Copy !req
1174. And we loaned him
a considerable sum in additionCopy !req
1175. to meet expenses
his salary didn't cover.Copy !req
1176. You think you're very clever,
don't you?Copy !req
1177. Trying to sweep the poor little widow
under the carpet?Copy !req
1178. Think again.Copy !req
1179. I'm on the board of directors
of this lousy company.Copy !req
1180. We assumed that with your husband goneCopy !req
1181. you would no longer want
to be on the board.Copy !req
1182. Al and I helped build Pepsi
to what it is today!Copy !req
1183. I intend to stay with it!Copy !req
1184. We appreciate your devotion
and contribution, Miss Crawford,Copy !req
1185. but we have retired you
from the board of directors.Copy !req
1186. You drove Al Steele to his graveCopy !req
1187. and now you're trying
to stab me in the back?Copy !req
1188. Forget it!Copy !req
1189. I've fought worse monsters than you
for years in Hollywood!Copy !req
1190. I know how to win the hard way!Copy !req
1191. Miss Crawford,
we don't want any hard feelings.Copy !req
1192. You don't know what hard feelings are,Copy !req
1193. until I come out publicly
against your product,Copy !req
1194. and you'll see how much you sell.Copy !req
1195. Please, Miss Crawford,Copy !req
1196. it's hardly necessary
to make threats you surely don't mean.Copy !req
1197. Don't fuck with me, fellas!Copy !req
1198. This ain't my first time at the rodeo.Copy !req
1199. You forget the press I delivered
to Pepsi was my power!Copy !req
1200. I can use it any way I want,Copy !req
1201. it's a swordCopy !req
1202. that cuts both ways.Copy !req
1203. The board has failed to realize the
extent of your interest in the companyCopy !req
1204. apart from Al's position.Copy !req
1205. WeCopy !req
1206. misjudged.Copy !req
1207. We shall be pleased
to have you stay on.Copy !req
1208. Thank you, gentlemen.Copy !req
1209. Now let's get to work.Copy !req
1210. Coming.Copy !req
1211. Mommie.Copy !req
1212. Tina darling.Copy !req
1213. I wish I would have known
you were coming.Copy !req
1214. I just happened
to be in the neighborhood.Copy !req
1215. I would've
straightened up a little bit.Copy !req
1216. Looks quite neat to me.Copy !req
1217. Jesus Christ.Copy !req
1218. I'd forgotten what it was like.Copy !req
1219. Sit down.Copy !req
1220. How are you, Tina?Copy !req
1221. I've been making rounds.
Lot of rejections.Copy !req
1222. But I'm up for a part.Copy !req
1223. - Good.
- It's a soap opera.Copy !req
1224. Yeah, well, it's very good experience.Copy !req
1225. Yeah.Copy !req
1226. - Have you got a glass, darling?
- Yeah.Copy !req
1227. Hey, you know where I got this from?Copy !req
1228. - Batista himself.
- Yeah?Copy !req
1229. When I opened a plant outside Havana.Copy !req
1230. - That's all they gave you?
- That's it.Copy !req
1231. Cheap bastards.Copy !req
1232. Do you miss all that?Copy !req
1233. I miss Al more.Copy !req
1234. So,Copy !req
1235. how are the guys?Copy !req
1236. Guys are guys. It hasn't changed.Copy !req
1237. I brought you a gift.Copy !req
1238. Thank you, Mommie.Copy !req
1239. They were the first present
that Al ever gave me.Copy !req
1240. They're beautiful.Copy !req
1241. I want you to have them.Copy !req
1242. Thank you.Copy !req
1243. And, Tina,Copy !req
1244. if you don't get this part,
for Christ's sake, don't hock them.Copy !req
1245. No, I wouldn't.Copy !req
1246. Thank you, Mommie.Copy !req
1247. - Don't be a stranger.
- No.Copy !req
1248. - Is it 4:00 yet?
- It's five after.Copy !req
1249. Five after? Turn the set on now.Copy !req
1250. I want that set on every day
at 4:00 sharp.Copy !req
1251. I'm going to try to make him happy.Copy !req
1252. - You know, in every way.
- You two make a lovely couple.Copy !req
1253. I want so much to be a good wife.Copy !req
1254. - You will be.
- But there's so much to learn.Copy !req
1255. Don't worry.
Love conquers all, right?Copy !req
