Six Degrees Of Separation Page #14

the Louisa-Kittredge-call-me-Ouisa wife,

the mother-of-the-new-children wife...

1103

01:
11:01,520 -- 01:11:03,954

Your brothers and sisters.

1104

01:
11:05,600 -- 01:11:10,276

They go to Andover and Exeter

and Harvard and Yale.

1105

01:
11:10,400 -- 01:11:14,154

The awful thing is,

my father started out good.

1106

01:
11:15,080 -- 01:11:19,039

My mother says "There's a good man

inside J Flanders Kittredge."

1107

01:
11:19,160 -- 01:11:23,551

There is, darling. There is.

Flan thinks he's part of some sinister plot.

1108

01:
11:23,680 -- 01:11:28,435

No, it's all too creepy.

I don't even like to talk about it.

1109

01:
11:29,600 -- 01:11:33,354

He would see you if he's that good.

He can't forget you entirely.

1110

01:
11:33,480 -- 01:11:36,472

- I call him, he hangs up.

- Go to his office.

1111

01:
11:36,600 -- 01:11:40,479

He doesn't have one. He works there.

They won't even let me in the elevator.

1112

01:
11:40,600 -- 01:11:44,275

- Dress up as a messenger.

- Say you got a masterpiece for him.

1113

01:
11:44,400 -- 01:11:47,278

Say "I got the Mona Lisa in the truck."

1114

01:
11:47,400 -- 01:11:49,789

I don't want to embarrass him.

1115

01:
11:49,920 -- 01:11:52,878

Oh, this is so f***ing tacky!

1116

01:
11:59,280 -- 01:12:01,635

Do you two love each other?

1117

01:
12:02,680 -- 01:12:04,636

A lot.

1118

01:
12:05,680 -- 01:12:06,829

That's good.

1119

01:
12:06,960 -- 01:12:09,713

- These are nice kids.

- Yeah. They work for a living.

1120

01:
12:09,840 -- 01:12:11,239

i(laughter)/i

1121

01:
12:12,560 -- 01:12:17,270

- I hope we can meet again.

- Yeah. Hey, where do you live?

1122

01:
12:17,400 -- 01:12:18,833

Live?

1123

01:
12:18,960 -- 01:12:20,837

I'm home.

1124

01:
12:20,960 -- 01:12:23,713

You don't live in the streets?

1125

01:
12:23,840 -- 01:12:28,356

You guys are such a**holes!

I mean, where would I live?

1126

01:
12:30,000 -- 01:12:33,834

- You can stay with us.

- We just have a flat in a tenement.

1127

01:
12:33,960 -- 01:12:37,157

It's over a roller disco.

The last of the roller discos.

1128

01:
12:37,280 -- 01:12:39,748

iBut it's quiet by 5am,/i

iand a great narrow space./i

1129

01:
12:39,880 -- 01:12:44,635

i(girl) You have the couch. The tub is in the/i

ikitchen, but there's light in the morning./i

1130

01:
12:44,760 -- 01:12:46,273

- Hello.

- Hello.

1131

01:
12:46,520 -- 01:12:47,509

- Hello.

- Hello.

1132

01:
12:47,640 -- 01:12:50,473

He opened up a whole new world to us.

1133

01:
12:52,400 -- 01:12:56,439

It's all anybody wants, isn't it?

A new world?

1134

01:
12:58,680 -- 01:13:02,878

- You say... you're going riding.

- Riding.

1135

01:
13:03,000 -- 01:13:06,595

And never say "couch". It's "sofa".

1136

01:
13:06,720 -- 01:13:08,153

- Sofa.

- Sofa.

1137

01:
13:08,280 -- 01:13:10,111

And you say "boddill".

1138

01:
13:10,240 -- 01:13:13,596

It's "bottle". Bottle of beer.

1139

01:
13:13,720 -- 01:13:16,314

- Boddill of beer.

- No. Bottle of beer.

1140

01:
13:16,440 -- 01:13:18,271

- Bottle.

- Boddill of beer.

1141

01:
13:18,400 -- 01:13:20,356

Oh. See? Bottle of beer.

1142

01:
13:21,120 -- 01:13:24,908

And never be afraid of rich people.

You know what they love?

1143

01:
13:25,040 -- 01:13:27,349

A fancy pot of jam.

1144

01:
13:27,480 -- 01:13:30,119

Really. That's all.

1145

01:
13:30,240 -- 01:13:34,199

Get a patron. That's what you need.

You shouldn't be waiting tables.

1146

01:
13:34,320 -- 01:13:39,474

You're going to wake up one day, and that

temporary job will be your full-time life.

1147

01:
13:41,640 -- 01:13:43,949

- He stayed with them for...

- Two or three weeks.

1148

01:
13:44,080 -- 01:13:45,877

He sunk his heels in.

1149

01:
13:48,040 -- 01:13:50,838

- I'm moving out of here.

- You can't.

1150

01:
13:50,960 -- 01:13:55,476

My father answered my letter. He's giving

me $1,000, and that's just for starters.

1151

01:
13:55,600 -- 01:13:58,797

He sold a Czanne to the Japanese

and made millions.

1152

01:
13:58,920 -- 01:14:02,230

Now he can give me money

without her knowing it.

1153

01:
14:02,360 -- 01:14:03,475

I knew it.

1154

01:
14:03,600 -- 01:14:08,720

I'll give you the money to put on any play.

Agents will come. You'll be discovered.

1155

01:
14:08,840 -- 01:14:13,516

And when you win Oscars, both of you,

you'll look in the camera and thank me.

1156

01:
14:13,640 -- 01:14:16,757

- I wanna thank Paul Kittredge.

- Thanks, Paul.

1157

01:
14:16,880 -- 01:14:19,075

i(Paul laughs)/i

1158

01:
14:19,200 -- 01:14:23,751

One hitch - I'm going to meet him

in Maine. He's visiting his parents.

1159

01:
14:23,880 -- 01:14:29,079

My grandparents, whom I've never met.

He's finally gonna tell them about me.

1160

01:
14:29,200 -- 01:14:35,753

Can you see the look on my parents' face

if a black kid showed up? "Hi, Grandma."

1161

01:
14:35,880 -- 01:14:38,519

- Flan, your parents are dead.

- i(laughter)/i

1162

01:
14:39,760 -- 01:14:41,318

He's gonna give me money.

1163

01:
14:41,440 -- 01:14:44,796

I can get my mama that beauty parlour

she's wanted all her life.

1164

01:
14:44,920 -- 01:14:48,629

One problem -

how am I gonna get to Maine?

1165

01:
14:48,760 -- 01:14:50,955

The wife checks all the bills.

1166

01:
14:51,080 -- 01:14:54,993

Where the hell am I going

to get $250 to get to Maine?

1167

01:
14:57,400 -- 01:14:59,356

How long would you need it for?

1168

01:
14:59,480 -- 01:15:01,914

I'll be gone a week.

1169

01:
15:02,040 -- 01:15:04,349

But I could wire it back to you.

1170

01:
15:04,480 -- 01:15:07,472

- We could lend it to him for a week.

- If something happens...

1171

01:
15:07,600 -- 01:15:10,319

You're like his stepmother,

holding the purse strings.

1172

01:
15:10,440 -- 01:15:13,398

No. We worked too hard to save that.

1173

01:
15:15,240 -- 01:15:17,708

I'm sorry, Paul, we just can't.

1174

01:
15:17,840 -- 01:15:20,195

Look, no problem. I understand.

1175

01:
15:20,320 -- 01:15:22,117

- I'll meet you after work.

- Sure.

1176

01:
15:22,240 -- 01:15:24,993

If your dad loves you,

he'll get you the ticket.

1177

01:
15:25,120 -- 01:15:27,270

He does. It'll work out.

1178

01:
15:29,520 -- 01:15:34,548

Hey. Posture. Stand up straight.

Don't slump. Attitudes of defeat.

1179

01:
15:34,680 -- 01:15:37,240

The girl worked just to stay alive.

1180

01:
15:37,360 -- 01:15:41,638

She was one of those armies of people

who come to New York filled with dreams,

1181

01:
15:41,760 -- 01:15:46,550

and end up on a treadmill, working and

working, forgetting why they came here.

1182

01:
15:46,680 -- 01:15:51,834

There must be some mistake. It says my

joint account. Can you see the numbers?

1183

01:
15:51,960 -- 01:15:57,193

That's right. That's my name and his

name, my joint account! Who closed it?!

1184

01:
15:57,320 -- 01:16:01,108

I was furious.

I can't tell you how furious I was.

1185

01:
16:01,240 -- 01:16:06,678

Then I went home to my luxurious
