And the night you got drunk on champagne , and climbed out on the roof and stood naked, with your arms out to the moon, wailing like a banshee-

Q
  • the?- what’s that?
A

A boat he designed- and built practically. We sailed her up the coast of Maine and back, the summer we were marrid. My, she was yare.

39
Q

Yare? What does that mean?

A

It means- oh, what does it mean?- easy to handle- quick to the helm- fast- bright- everything a boat should be.- And the hell with it

40
Q

Rather bad taste, I’d say giving you that

A

Dexter never concerns herself much with taste

41
Q

How’d you ever happen to marry a fellow like that?

A

Oh, I don’t know- I expect it was a kind of a hangover from childhood days. We grew up together, you know.

42
Q

I see- prop iniquity

A

Oh, George- to get away- to get away-! Somehow to feel useful in the world-

43
Q

I’m going to build you an ivory tower with my own two hands

A

Like fun you are

44
Q

You mean you’ve been in one too long?

A

I mean that p, and a lot of things

45
Q

I’m going to make a grand life, dear- and you can help, all right

A

Oh I hope I can

46
Q

From now on we’ll both stop wasting time on unimportant people.

A

That’s all right with me

47
Q

I’d like people to consider it an honor to be asked there

A

Why an honor especially?

48
Q

And then perhaps young Me. Haven May be somewhat condescending

A

George- you don’t really mind him do you? I mean the fact of him

49
Q

The-? I don’t see what you mean Tray

A

I mean that- you know that he was- was my lord and master- that we ever were-

50
Q

That’s the wonderful thing about you Tray

A

What? How-

51
Q

It’s- it’s a kind of beautiful purity , Tracy, that’s the only word for it

A

George-

52
Q

It’s what I first worshipped you for, Tracy, from afar

A

George, listen-

53
Q

Only from a little nearer now- eh darling?

A

I don’t want to be worshipped! I want to be loved!

54
Q

You’re that too. You’re that all right.

A

I mean really loved

55
Q

But that goes without saying Tracy

A

And now it’s you- who doesn’t see what I mean. You can just leave them Edward.

56
Q

Shall I out this picture with the other presents, Miss Tracy?

A

No- just leave it there please

57
Q

Don’t let miss Imbrie get ahold of it

A

I should say not

58
Q

I hope they’ll soft pedal the marriage angle

A

I wish they’d pedal themselves right out if here

59
Q

They’ve got a job to do, and it’s an honor, you know, Tracy

A

What is?

60
Q

Why- to be done by Destiny

A

Are you joking?

61
Q

Joking-

A

But you can’t seriously mean that you think-!

62
Q

Does he by chance ever walk anywhere?

A

When he likes I expect

63
Q

Seth, you idiot

A

That’s very amusing I’m sure

64
Q

What bothers me at the moment is the spectacle we’re making ourselves for the benefit of the young man and woman from Destiny

A

Whose fault is it?

65
Q

It’s worse; it’s stupid and undignified

A

So are other things

66
Q

They can publish hat they like about me,but-

A
  • My idea is they’ll publish nothing about any of us
67
Q

How do you propose to stop them

A

I don’t quite know yet

68
Q

Well, at present the least we could do us to inform Connor and the camera lady that we are all quite aware do the purpose here. I insist on that

A

All right. I’ll tell them myself

69
Q

I think it will come better from me, don’t you- as, at least, titular head of the family?

A

Of course- inasmuch as you let us in for it in the first place

70
Q

It’s most unAttractive

A

Oh? How does Miss Mara talk? Or does she purr?

71
Q

It’s all right Margaret

A

Sweet and low, I suppose. Dulcet. Very ladylike.- you’ve got a fine right, you have- after the way you’ve treated mother- after the way you’ve treated us all- a magnificent right you’ve got to come back here in your best country manner and strike attitudes and makes stands and criticize my fiancé and give orders and mess things up generally, just as if you’d done-

72
Q

Stop it instantly Tracy!

A

I can’t help it. It’s sickening.- as if he’d done nothing at all!

73
Q

What most wives don’t realize is that their husband’s philandering- particularly the middle aged kind- has nothing whatever to do with them

A

Oh? Then what does it have to do with?

74
Q
  • the right kind of daughter
A
  • that’s interesting to say the least
75
Q

One for whom he can do no wrong-

A

How sweet

76
Q

I think a devoted young daughter gives a man the illusion that you is still his

A

Very important, I suppose

77
Q
  • but with a girl of his own full of warmth for him, foolish, unquestioning, uncritical affection
A

-none of which I’ve got

78
Q

In fact-

A

I never! I loved them!

79
Q

Without it you might just as we’ll be made of bronze

A

That’s an awful thing to say to anyone

80
Q

Indeed it is

A

So I’m to blame for Tina Mara am I?

81
Q

If any blame attaches, to some extent I expect you are

A

You coward.

82
Q

I’m afraid nothing is

A

Wha-what did you say I was?

83
Q

I understand a lot more than I did, as well.

A

“A prig and a-“. You mean- you mean you think I think I’m some sort of virgin goddess or something?

84
Q

Also, you’ve been talking like a jealous woman

A

A-? What’s the matter with everyone all at once, anyhow?

85
Q

No, it’s me that does

A

You look adorable Dinah

86
Q

Champagne, instead?

A

No thanks

87
Q

The girls demented

A

-but prigs don’t

88
Q

What’s that?

A

Nor spinsters

89
Q

We don’t get you

A

Nor goddesses, virgin, or otherwise

90
Q

Aren’t you coming?

A

I’ll follow along with George

91
Q

What’s the matter with you Tracy

A

You tell me will you?

92
Q

Damn if I know, I’d like to

A

Well if you happen to find out

93
Q
  • I’ll tell you sure
A

-and remember, Mike- “With the rich and mighty”-

94
Q

“Always a little Patience- yes, highness. I will.

A

Do that. Please do
