Now, Voyager Page #7

Not your sense of humor,

nor your sense of beauty...

...nor your sense of play.

But a fine man.

A kind of refuge

I thought I could never have.

- You're not angry with me?

- No.

Only with myself.

I was a cad to make you care...

...and then leave you to get over it.

There isn't a thing I can do.

Isobel depends on me more and more.

She's ill.

And there's Tina.

- If I could chuck everything...

- I wouldn't let you.

What's the feminine for your word?

I knew you were married, and I

walked in with my eyes wide open.

- You said it'd make you happier.

- And it has.

I've got back my work, due to you.

I hoped you'd say that.

I understand Tina more.

I'm kinder to Isobel.

- So don't blame yourself.

- Then don't you.

- It's different.

- It's not.

Shall I tell you what you've given me?

On that very first day, a bottle

of perfume made me feel important.

You were my first friend.

When you fell in love with me,

I was so proud.

When I came home, I needed

something to make me proud.

Your camellias arrived and I knew

you were thinking about me.

I could've walked

into a den of lions.

As a matter of fact I did,

and the lions didn't hurt me.

Please take back what you said.

If you can marry that man

and have a happy life, I will.

- I'll try.

- All aboard!

I'll look for you around every corner.

Goodbye, darling.

All aboard!

Do you know where we'll be

in two weeks?

We'll be on the ocean

off San Francisco.

That's so soon, Elliot.

I do want to be sure.

You know what I'd like?

I'd like you to take me to some

Bohemian restaurant for dinner...

...where we can be very gay,

have cocktails and champagne.

You could make love to me and...

Well, what I mean is...

...if I could get rid of

some of my inhibitions for once...

...I might have more confidence.

Time will give you confidence.

- That's not what I mean.

- What do you mean?

I read a novel once about a woman...

...a repressed woman.

She was in an automobile accident

with a man on a cold night.

He gave her a drink to keep warm.

And because of the drink

she lost her inhibitions.

You see, she was just...

I'm afraid I sound very depraved.

Are we both going to say

the same thing?

About our trip...

I can exchange the tickets

for three and take the boys.

- Would you?

- Certainly.

- I've been thinking about us.

- Yes?

- Perhaps we wouldn't be happy.

- We wouldn't be, Elliot.

You should marry one

who enjoys what you enjoy.

Let's not linger over it, Elliot.

Well, I suppose

you'll meet somebody, sometime.

I don't think I'll ever marry.

Some women aren't

the marrying kind.

But you'll meet someone.

Thank you for thinking it was me.

I have that on my record, anyway.

- Do I kiss you goodbye?

- No, let's not.

We'll see each other again, won't we?

Of course we will.

Goodbye till we meet again.

Goodbye till we meet again.

It's like the time

when my father died.

His breathing just stopped.

All over, finished.

Ended forever.

Fool! Oh, you fool!

You'll never have a home

or a man of your own...

...or a child of your own.

Hello, Mother.

I thought Elliot was staying.

What's his hurry?

We've broken our engagement.

- What did you say?

- We've broken our engagement.

- Why have you done that?

- Because I don't love him.

Have you no sense of obligation

to your family?

You have the chance

to join our name...

...with one of the finest families

in the city.

And you say that you're not in love?

You behave like a romantic girl

of 18.

I don't doubt it.

What do you intend to do?

Get a cat and a parrot and live alone

in single blessedness.

Stop rocking!

You've never made me proud...

...or made yourself proud either.

You should be ashamed to live

your life as Charlotte Vale.

Miss Charlotte Vale.

Dr. Jaquith says that tyranny

is sometimes...

...the expression

of the maternal instinct.

If that's a mother's love,

I want no part of it.

I didn't want to be born,

you didn't want me!

It's been a calamity on both sides.

Mother, let's not quarrel.

We've been getting along

together so well lately.

It was a horrid...

...thing to say.

We quarreled. I did it.

I did it.

I did it.

To these household servants...

...who were serving me...

...I bequeath the sum of $3000.

All the residue

and remainder of my estate...

...real, personal or mixed...

...I give, devise and bequeath

to my beloved daughter Charlotte.

I did it. I did it.

I never did anything

to make my mother proud.

I must see Dr. Jaquith.

Oh, Jerry.

Jerry, where are you now

when I need you so much?

Do you remember me? Do you?

- Miss Trask?

- Well, look who's here.

For goodness' sake,

I hardly know you.

Oh, of course.

I was about to send the police.

The doctor wired you were coming.

It's been a very long drive.

Could I go to my room right away?

I've put you in room 18.

That's your old room.

It'll make you feel at home.

How's Jaquith?

Same. Handing out

common sense instead of sympathy.

- Now...

- Could Samson get my bags?

Samson? Get Miss Vale's bags.

How's it coming?

All right.

- What's it supposed to be?

- I don't know.

Here's the little girl's other slipper.

Do you mind if I join you?

What's the title of the picture?

"The Proposal."

I'll collect all the pink pieces

if you don't mind.

Some people prefer

to do a puzzle alone.

I know who you are.

You do? Who am I?

- You're my new nurse.

- No, you're quite wrong.

You can't fool me.

I know why you've come here.

To make sure I don't run away again.

Did you run away once?

I didn't know.

- What's your name?

- You know my name.

That's why you stood

and stared at me.

That was very rude of me.

But, you see, you reminded me

of somebody.

Who?

Well, if you must know, myself.

Of course at your age.

You're about 14, aren't you?

I'm 12...

...nearly 13.

- There you are.

Christine, you spend the evening

with the young people.

- They don't want me.

- Of course they do.

I bet they'll want you more

if you make a little effort.

I've got a ping-pong game fixed up.

Barbara and Betty

against you and Bob.

- But he's the best player here.

- That's why you're his partner.

But I'll be the worst one.

I'll die. I'll just die.

Don't dramatize, Christine.

Please, please, please.

Don't make me.

Don't make me!

Don't make her.

The doctor wants Christine

to exercise and...

I'll see that she has some exercise.

I have to take my car to the town

to have it washed.

Christine could go,

we'll walk back.

Or run if you like.

If Christine would be kind enough

to go with me.

Would you?

- I'm sorry, Christine...

- Please, let me go.

I promise to drink

all my cocoa tonight.

For goodness' sake,

don't carry on.

Get your coat.

I'm sorry, Trask.

I couldn't help it.

I thought you were too tired

to do anything.

Cascades has performed

another miracle.

Tell her I'll be right down.

Christine's room is next to yours,

you'll share the bathroom.

Don't be disturbed by her crying.
