Movie Dialogue Sample
603 00:37:35,676 --> 00:37:37,770 I was almost mad then. 604 00:37:37,945 --> 00:37:40,414 I don't think I've been mad
since I last saw you. 605 00:37:40,581 --> 00:37:41,913 We must not get angry. 606 00:37:42,083 --> 00:37:46,885 Anger is protest and should only be used
for the good of one's fellow men. 607 00:37:47,054 --> 00:37:48,249 That is correct, Papa? 608 00:37:48,422 --> 00:37:51,358 If you grow up to talk like that
and stay as ugly as you are... 609 00:37:51,525 --> 00:37:54,245 ...you're going to have one of those careers
on the lecture platform. 610 00:37:55,629 --> 00:37:58,326 It is a great pleasure
to hear Grandma speak with you. 611 00:37:58,499 --> 00:38:00,263 I think I shall wash you. 612 00:38:00,668 --> 00:38:03,467 Wash us? Do people wash each other? 613 00:38:03,971 --> 00:38:07,738 No. But the washing is a good idea.
Run along now and change your clothes. 614 00:38:07,908 --> 00:38:09,342 Come. 615 00:38:10,711 --> 00:38:13,078 And then we'll all
have a fine, big lunch again. 616 00:38:13,247 --> 00:38:14,271 Again? 617 00:38:14,749 --> 00:38:16,684 Don't you usually have a good lunch? 618 00:38:16,851 --> 00:38:18,979 No, madame, only sometimes. 619 00:38:19,153 --> 00:38:21,520 We do all right usually. 620 00:38:21,689 --> 00:38:23,624 It's good to be here. 621 00:38:23,791 --> 00:38:25,259 I want to see everything. 622 00:38:25,426 --> 00:38:28,055 My old room, and the lake and-- 623 00:38:28,229 --> 00:38:30,892 - Haven't I fine children?
- Very fine. 624 00:38:31,065 --> 00:38:32,533 You're lucky. I wish I had them. 625 00:38:32,700 --> 00:38:35,829 How could you? All the women you like
are too drafty, if you know what I mean. 626 00:38:37,371 --> 00:38:38,896 None of them could have children. 627 00:38:39,073 --> 00:38:41,099 Which, as God in his wisdom,
would have it. 628 00:38:41,475 --> 00:38:44,138 Mama hasn't changed. That's good too. 629 00:38:44,745 --> 00:38:47,647 - I hope you'll like me.
- I hope so. 630 00:38:47,815 --> 00:38:49,306 I have fine plans. 631 00:38:49,750 --> 00:38:52,447 I'm having the wing done over for you,
walls taken out-- 632 00:38:52,620 --> 00:38:56,990 Oh, that's very kind of you, Mama,
but we won't make any plans for a while. 633 00:38:57,158 --> 00:38:58,820 A good long vacation for Kurt and-- 634 00:38:58,993 --> 00:39:01,758 A vacation? You're staying, of course. 635 00:39:01,929 --> 00:39:03,955 David is seeing schools for the children. 636 00:39:04,131 --> 00:39:07,226 Cyrus Penfield has promised
to find an engineering post for Kurt. 637 00:39:07,401 --> 00:39:10,337 But I have not worked as an engineer
since many years, madame. 638 00:39:10,504 --> 00:39:13,030 Haven't you?
Well, didn't you work for Dornier? 639 00:39:13,207 --> 00:39:14,903 Yes... 640 00:39:15,076 --> 00:39:16,271 ...but before '33. 641 00:39:16,444 --> 00:39:19,073 You must have worked in other places.
Many other places. 642 00:39:19,246 --> 00:39:21,875 Every letter of Sara's seemed
to have a new postmark. 643 00:39:22,049 --> 00:39:24,348 Well, we moved most often. 644 00:39:24,518 --> 00:39:25,850 You gave up engineering? 645 00:39:26,020 --> 00:39:27,648 Gave it up? 646 00:39:27,822 --> 00:39:31,054 - Well, one could say it that way.
- What do you do? 647 00:39:31,225 --> 00:39:33,285 - Mama, we--
- It is very difficult to explain. 648 00:39:33,461 --> 00:39:37,023 - If you'd rather not--
- No, I'm trying to find out something. 649 00:39:37,198 --> 00:39:40,862 - May I ask it right out?
- Let me help you, madame. 650 00:39:41,035 --> 00:39:43,300 You wish to know
whether not being an engineer... 651 00:39:43,471 --> 00:39:46,100 ...buys adequate lunches for my family. 652 00:39:46,273 --> 00:39:47,434 It does not. 653 00:39:47,608 --> 00:39:50,874 I have no wish to make a mystery
of what I've been doing. 654 00:39:51,045 --> 00:39:54,277 It is only that it is awkward
to place it neatly. 655 00:39:54,448 --> 00:39:58,249 It sounds so big. And it is so small. 656 00:39:58,419 --> 00:40:00,547 I am an anti-fascist. 657 00:40:00,721 --> 00:40:04,021 And to answer your question,
that does not pay well. 658 00:40:04,191 --> 00:40:06,353 But we are all anti-fascists. 659 00:40:06,527 --> 00:40:08,189 Yes, but Kurt works at it. 660 00:40:09,396 --> 00:40:10,762 What kind of work? 661 00:40:11,332 --> 00:40:13,597 Any kind. Anywhere. 662 00:40:14,101 --> 00:40:17,333 - I will stop asking questions.
- Yes, Mama, that would be sensible. 663 00:40:17,505 --> 00:40:20,737 Darling, don't be angry.
We've been worried about you, naturally. 664 00:40:20,908 --> 00:40:24,367 We knew so little
except that you were having a hard time. 665 00:40:24,545 --> 00:40:28,983 - I didn't have a hard time. We never--
- Do not lie for me, Sara, please. 666 00:40:29,383 --> 00:40:31,716 I'm not lying. 667 00:40:35,089 --> 00:40:41,120 I didn't have a hard time
the way they mean. Not ever. 668 00:40:47,334 --> 00:40:51,237 For almost 12 years,
Kurt went to work eve
