00:00the everyday stuff would be fine.
00:02I should have written that they were coming.
00:04How long do you expect me to go on living like this?
00:07Maybe you think I'm happy the way things are around here.
00:10Look, I've worked very hard for ten years to make our home.
00:13Our home? Your home, you mean?
00:16As far as I'm concerned, I'm just a star hoarder.
00:18Oh yes, my meals are ready on time,
00:20my laundry's taken care of, I got the chair I like.
00:22Then what else do you expect?
00:24What any man expects when he gets married? A wife.
00:28Haven't I given you the best years of my life?
00:31All right, who made them the best years?
00:34Well, if you're so unhappy, perhaps you'd like a divorce.
00:37Maybe I would.
00:39If it weren't for Ginger, I'd...
00:43I didn't hear her come in.
00:48Hello, sweetheart.
00:50Oh, I spilled my milk, Mama, but I'll wipe it up.
00:53Mother will do it, darling. You run along.
00:55You'll be late for dancing school.
00:56Yes, Mother, I was just going.
01:08Ruth.
01:09Yes?
01:10I'm sorry, I lost my temper.
01:13I guess I'm a bit nervous these days.
01:15You're the doctor. You should know what's wrong.
01:18I do.
01:20Must you do that, Ruth? I want to talk to you.
01:22Well, I can't let it dry into the linoleum.
01:26I never should have chosen this light background.
01:28I'm just a slave to it, trying to keep it clean.
01:32Ruth, years ago, when we started out,
01:35we used to sit in that two-room apartment
01:37and dream about what it would be like to have a home of our own.
01:41I had three patients then.
01:43Now, two of them weren't working.
01:46We used to give each other IOUs for Christmas, remember?
01:49It's because I remember those things
01:51that I take such good care of this house.
01:53Maybe that's the trouble.
01:55We built a home and wound up with a house.
02:03A place for everything and everything in its place.
02:06Well, for goodness sakes, what's wrong with that?
02:08Plenty. Maybe I want to come home at night
02:10and scatter newspapers on the floor,
02:12have people drop in for potluck,
02:14or suddenly both of us go out on the town.
02:16I'd like to see you open a bottle of champagne just once
02:19instead of putting every dime into some new gadget for the house.
02:22John, what's happened to you?
02:24What's happened to us?
02:26We've simply grown up.
02:29Or at least I have.
02:36John, if you still want to ask Harvey and Jane to...
02:40Forget it. I'll take them out to the country club.
