The Miracle Worker

317 00:37:01,636 --> 00:37:05,097 The butcher wouldn't give up. He tried four ways of getting around Vicksburg. 318 00:37:05,098 --> 00:37:07,349 He wouldn't have got around if we'd had a Southerner in command 319 00:37:07,350 --> 00:37:10,519 instead of a half-breed Yankee traitor like Pemberton! 320 00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:12,980 If only we didn't have... What's the matter there? 321 00:37:12,981 --> 00:37:17,067 She's accustomed to helping herself from our plates. 322 00:37:17,068 --> 00:37:21,197 -I'm not accustomed to it. -Of course not. Viney! 323 00:37:21,198 --> 00:37:24,366 -Give her something to quiet her. -Her table manners are the best she has. 324 00:37:24,367 --> 00:37:28,162 Let her this time. It's the only way we get any adult conversation. 325 00:37:28,163 --> 00:37:30,915 -I'll get you another plate. -I have a plate, thank you. 326 00:37:30,916 --> 00:37:34,293 Viney! I'm afraid what Captain Keller says is true. 327 00:37:34,294 --> 00:37:37,421 -She'll persist in this till... -Nothing's wrong with the plate. 328 00:37:37,422 --> 00:37:39,673 -I intend to keep it. -You see why they took Vicksburg? 329 00:37:40,217 --> 00:37:43,510 One plate or another is hardly a matter to struggle with a deprived child about. 330 00:37:43,511 --> 00:37:45,471 I'd sooner have a more heroic issue myself. 331 00:37:45,472 --> 00:37:48,349 I really must insist that you... Now she's hurt herself. 332 00:37:48,350 --> 00:37:51,518 -No, she hasn't. -Will you please let her hands go? 333 00:37:51,519 --> 00:37:53,270 You don't know the child well enough. 334 00:37:53,271 --> 00:37:56,273 I know an ordinary tantrum well enough when I see one and a badly spoiled child. 335 00:37:56,566 --> 00:37:57,650 Here, here. 336 00:37:57,651 --> 00:38:00,611 You'd have more understanding of your pupil if you had some pity in you. 337 00:38:00,612 --> 00:38:04,323 Pity! For this tyrant? The whole house turns on her whims. 338 00:38:04,324 --> 00:38:07,660 Is there anything she wants she doesn't get? I'll tell you what I pity. 339 00:38:07,661 --> 00:38:09,662 That the sun won't rise and set for her all her life, 340 00:38:09,663 --> 00:38:11,247 and every day you're telling her it will! 341 00:38:11,248 --> 00:38:13,874 What good will your pity do when you're under the strawberries? 342 00:38:13,875 --> 00:38:18,128 -For the love of heaven, will you... -I don't think it serves to lose our... 343 00:38:19,005 --> 00:38:21,882 It's less trouble to feel sorry for her than it is to teach her anything. 344 00:38:21,883 --> 00:38:25,761 -You haven't taught her anything yet. -I'll begin if you'll leave the room. 345 00:38:25,762 --> 00:38:27,388 -Leave? -Everyone, please. 346 00:38:27,389 --> 00:38:29,306 You're here as a paid teacher, nothing more. 347 00:38:29,474 --> 00:38:33,185 I can't un-teach her six years of pity if you can't stand up to one tantrum. 348 00:38:33,186 --> 00:38:34,728 Old Stonewall, indeed! 349 00:38:36,064 --> 00:38:38,232 -Mrs. Keller, you promised me help. -Indeed, I... 350 00:38:38,233 --> 00:38:41,819 -Then leave me alone with her now! -Katie, come outside at once, please! 351 00:38:41,820 --> 00:38:44,196 -Heaven's sakes! -Out, please. 352 00:38:47,867 --> 00:38:49,368 If it takes all summer, General! 353 00:38:51,913 --> 00:38:54,331 I've got a half-mind to ship her back to Boston before the week is out. 354 00:38:54,332 --> 00:38:56,250 -You can inform her so for me. -Aye, Captain. 355 00:38:56,251 --> 00:38:59,003 She's a hireling. Unless there's an apology 356 00:38:59,004 --> 00:39:01,922 and complete change of manner, she goes back on the next train. 357 00:39:01,923 --> 00:39:04,341 -Will you make that quite clear? -Where will you be 358 00:39:04,342 --> 00:39:07,052 while I am making it quite clear? 359 00:39:07,053 --> 00:39:08,929 At the office. 360 00:39:14,769 --> 00:39:19,690 Will you? I thought what she said was exceptionally intelligent. 361 00:39:19,691 --> 00:39:23,193 -I've been saying it for years. -To his face? 362 00:39:25,530 --> 00:39:28,657 Or will you take it, Jimmy, as a flag? 363 00:47:43,027 --> 00:47:45,278 Good girl. 364 00:48:01,420 --> 00:48:04,464 I don't see how you can wait out here a minute longer, Kate. 365 00:48:04,465 --> 00:48:07,425 This could go on all afternoon too. 366 00:48:09,053 --> 00:48:11,054 I'll tell the Captain you called. 367 00:48:19,689 --> 00:48:23,149 Give me her, Miss Kate. I'll sneak her in back to her crib. 368 00:48:27,071 --> 00:48:29,573 -This child never gives me any worry. -Oh, yes. 369 00:48:29,574 --> 00:48:33,118 This one's the angel of the family. No question about that. 370 00:48:43,129 --> 00:48:47,007 -What happened? -She ate from her own plate. 371 00:48:47,008 --> 00:48:51,928 She ate with a spoon, herself. And she folded her napkin. 372 00:48:54,265 --> 00:48:56,141 Folded her napkin? 373 00:48:56,809 --> 00:49:00,312 The room's a wreck, but her napkin is folded. 374 00:49:01,272 --> 00:4
