YOU ARE A DISGRACE TO THIS FINE INSTITUTION, PETTIBONE.
YOUR CONSTANT ATTEMPTS TO UNDERMINE MY AUTHORITY,
YOUR TOTAL LACK
OF RESPECT FOR LIEUTENANT KRAY
AND YOUR FELLOW STUDENTS IS UNACCEPTABLE.
THESE HIDEOUS
DRAWINGS ARE THE LAST STRAW
HAVE YOU ANYTHING TO SAY FOR YOURSELF?
NO, SIR.
I'M QUITE CONTENT WITH THE DECISION YOU HAVE REACHED.
I NO LONGER WISH TO STAY IN THIS...FINE INSTITUTION.
YOUR INSOLENCE ASTOUNDS ME, YOUNG MAN.
I ONLY HOPE FOR YOUR FATHER'S SAKE THAT YOU'RE ABLE TO MAKE
SOMETHING OF YOURSELF.
YOUR FATHER DEDICATED HIMSELF TO OUTSTANDING MILITARY SERVICE.
YOU'VE SUCCEEDED IN MAKING A MOCKERY
OF EVERYTHING HE STANDS FOR.
YOU WILL NEVER MAKE A REAL SOLDIER.
I'VE SENT YOUR FATHER A TELEGRAM
INFORMING HIM OF YOUR DISMISSAL.
EXCUSED, PETTIBONE.
SOMETHING BURNING, 1ZZY?
THE TOAST!
OHH...
FATHER LIKES TO READ HIS NEWSPAPER BEFORE
ANYONE ELSE TOUCHES IT.
OH, I'M SORRY.
I'll RIDE OVER TO NEW DUNDEE THIS MORNING. CHECK OUT MY DIGS.
TALK TO DR. FINN ABOUT THE NUTS
AND BOLTS OF ASSUMING HIS PRACTICE.
EXCELLENT.
GOOD TIMING, HIS WANTING TO RETIRE JUST AS I GRADUATE.
VERY ACCOMMODATING.
IS MY SECOND IN COMMAND KEEPING
A CLOSE EYE THAT THINGS ARE DONE RIGHT?
1ZZY HAD EVERYTHING VERY WELL IN HAND WITHOUT ME.
I'M AFRAID ALL I DID WAS MESS UP YOUR NEWSPAPER.
YOU WHAT?
I HAD NO IDEA IT MEANT SO MUCH TO YOU.
WHAT'S 1ZZY BEEN TELLING YOU?
HE ALWAYS USED TO READ IT FIRST.
THAT WAS BEFORE MY WILLOWY BRIDE TOOK CAPTIVE MY FIVE SENSES.
WHAT DO WE CARE FOR NEWS OF THE WORLD NOW, HMM?
OH, CLIVE.
[ KNOCKING ]
NO, LET ME.
I'll GO.
I, UH... BROUGHT THIS TELEGRAM
FOR YOUR FATHER.
IT'S FROM THE MILITARY ACADEMY.
THANK YOU.
1ZZY...YOU'LL HAVE TO FORGIVE ME SOMETIME.
PLEASE GIVE ME THE TELEGRAM.
I KNOW IT WAS WRONG OF ME TO LET PEOPLE THINK THAT I KISSED YOU.
I-I'M SORRY.
HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO SAY IT?
I'll TAKE THAT, YOUNG MAN.
YES, SIR.
EXPELLED FOR
DISCIPLINARY REASONS.
THAT IMPOSSIBLE BOY.
YOU DON'T KNOW MORGAN'S
SIDE OF IT.
HEAR HIM BEFORE YOU JUDGE, FATHER.
IN THE MILITARY, THERE'S ONE SIDE,
THAT OF YOUR SUPERIORS.
HE'S ARRIVING ON THE 5:40 TRAIN.
HE CAN WALK. I WON'T GET HIM.
YOUR GRANDFATHER WENT TO THAT SCHOOL, AND HIS FATHER BEFORE.
I KNOW WHAT THEY'D HAVE DONE IF I'D BEEN EXPELLED.
I WASN'T EXPELLED.
YOUR TEACHERS BEG TO DIFFER.
I FORCED THEM TO SEND ME HOME.
I HATED IT THERE.
WE ALL HAVE TO DO THINGS WE DISLIKE.
THE SOONER YOU LEARN THAT THE BETTER. YAH!
I TOLD FATHER I WASN'T CUT OUT TO BE A SOLDIER.
HE WON'T LISTEN.
MAY 1?
THOSE DRAWINGS KEPT ME SANE.
I WOULD HAVE EXPLODED OTHERWISE.
THEY'RE VERY CLEVER.
LIEUTENANT KRAY DIDN'T THINK SO.
[ LAUGHING ]
WHAT'S THIS?
CLIVE, YOU DIDN'T TELL ME THAT
MORGAN HAD A TALENT FOR DRAWING.
LET ME SEE THAT.
UH, NO...
WHY?
OH, OUR FAMILY PORTRAIT.
HMM, HMM.
I WANT A WORD WITH YOU.
DOWNSTAIRS...
RIGHT NOW.
I'M SORRY.
OH, MURIEL.
MAYBE YOU SHOULD GO IN THERE.
IT WOULD ONLY MAKE MATTERS
WORSE, I'M AFRAID.
YOUR FATHER'S BARK IS WORSE THAN HIS BITE.
WE ALL KNOW THAT.
[ MORGAN ]: AND YOU WONDER WHY I DON'T WANT A MILITARY CAREER!
WHY CAN'T OUR FAMILY
EVER BE HAPPY?
I'M NOT GOING BACK THERE.
YOU WILL START WORK AT ONCE
ON A WRITTEN APOLOGY TO LIEUTENANT CRAY.
YES, SIR.
WHATEVER YOU SAY, SIR.
PERMISSION TO BE EXCUSED, SIR!
MORGAN...
IZ...I'D LEAVE HIM FOR A BIT.
THEY JUST NEED MORE TIME.
MURIEL, CAN I SEE YOU A MOMENT?
OF COURSE, CLIVE.
YOU DID SAY FOR BETTER OR WORSE.
I DO RECALL SAYING SOMETHING OF THE KIND.
[ KNOCKING ]
MAY I COME IN?
I'M GLAD THAT YOU'RE HOME.
NO MATTER WHAT FATHER SAYS.
I WON'T STAY HERE FOR LONG.
YOU CAN'T JUST RUN AWAY.
I'M NOT A BOY, IZZY. I'M 18 YEARS OLD.
IF IT'S ANY
CONSOLATION, HE STILL TREATS ME LIKE A CHILD, TOO.
IF MOTHER WAS STILL ALIVE, SHE'D MAKE HIM SEE.
WE USED TO BE A REAL FAMILY.
MOTHER WAS AN ANGEL.
WITHOUT PHOTOGRAPHS, I WOULDN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT SHE LOOKED LIKE.
DO YOU REMEMBER HER SISTER?
AUNT LILLIAN -- SHE DOESN'T
EVEN SEND CHRISTMAS CARDS ANY MORE.
THAT'S FATHER.
THEY QUARRELED, OR SOMETHING.
WHAT ELSE IS NEW?
WONDER IF SHE WOULD WRITE ME BACK IF I WROTE.
OH, IZ, DON'T WRITE HER.
YOU'LL JUST GET FATHER
ALL HET UP OVER NOTHING.
WHY SHOULDN'T I WRITE HER? SHE'S MY MOTHER'S SISTER.
1ZZY, YOU LOOK GREY.
WHAT'S GOT YOU DOWN?
NOTHING.
IT'S JUST THAT YOU AND MORGAN ARE MOVING ON WITH YOUR LIVES,
AND FATHER'S PREOCCUPIED WITH MURIEL.
AND I HAVEN'T SPOKE TO FELIX SINCE HE MADE A FOOL OF ME.
WHY WOULD HE DO THAT, 1Z2?
HE TOLD ALL HIS FRIENDS THAT HE KISSED ME...
THEN ANNOUNCED AT THE DOMINION DAY PICNIC,
IN FRONT OF THE ENTIRE TOWN, THAT IT WAS ALL A LIE.
IT WAS MORTIFYING.
I THINK I SHOULD HAVE A TALK WITH FELIX KING.
ARTHUR, DON'T DO THAT. HONESTLY, IT WOULD MAKE MATTERS WORSE.
BESIDES, IT ISN'T FELIX.
I'VE DONE SOMETHING
THAT I THINK'S GOING TO MAKE FATHER FURIOUS.
I'VE INVITED AUNT LILLIAN TO COME VISIT
FROM BOSTON.
OH, BOY, IZ.
OH, BE CAREFUL WITH THAT ONE. IT'S FOR MY NIECE.
I GUESS YOU'RE MISS LILLIAN HEPWORTH?
HOW CLEVER OF YOU TO KNOW MY NAME.
YOU'RE TO CALL THIS NUMBER AT ONCE.
I EXPECT IT'S URGENT.
OH, MISS HEPWORTH, IT'S TERRIBLE.
YOUR CREDITORS HAVE BEEN DROPPING OFF
FINAL NOTICES AND MAKING THREATS.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.
EVERYBODY WANTS THE MONEY YOU OWE THEM.
THE LANDLORD SENT THE MARSHALL TO SHUT US DOWN.
AND NOTHING I DO CAN STOP THEM.
WHAT ABOUT MY LAWYER? CAN'T HE DO ANYTHING?
NOT UNTIL YOU PAY YOUR BILL.
I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.
TAKE THE DAY OFF AND GO SHOPPING.
BUY YOURSELF A PRETTY NEW FROCK AND CHARGE IT TO ME.
TAKE CARE OF THE LUXURIES
AND THE NECCESSITIES TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES.
MISS HEPWORTH, THEY'RE DISCONNECTING--
[ CLICKING ]
OPERATOR.
YES, OPERATOR, CONNECT ME WITH CLIVE PETTIBONE, PLEASE.
WHAT'S THAT? WHO...
YOUR SISTER-IN-LAW.
DIDN'T ISOLDE TELL YOU SHE'D INVITED ME?
LILLIAN?
YOU'RE WHERE?
UH...KEEP YOUR HAT ON. I'll BE THERE.
MY GOD,
CHILD, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!
HA-HOO, PLANNING A LONG STAY, ARE YOU?
A WOMAN CAN NEVER HAVE TOO MANY HATS.
ASK ANY OF MY CUSTOMERS.
DID YOU MAKE THIS ONE?
A HEPWORTH ORIGINAL. DO YOU LIKE IT?
IT'S BEAUTIFUL, AUNT LILLIAN.
AUNT LILLIAN.
THOSE WORDS HAVE A SWEET MUSIC.
YOU'LL FIND IT'S A BIT CRAMPED.
MORGAN'S HOME UNEXPECTEDLY FROM SCHOOL.
IF ONLY YOU'D WIRED, WE MIGHT HAVE BEEN MORE PREPARED.
OH, NOW, YOU MUSTN'T BLAME ISOLDE FOR MY IMPULSIVENESS.
HER CHARMING NOTE ARRIVED JUST AS I FELT AN OVERWHELMING URGE
TO ESCAPE, UH... THE CLAMOURS OF THE CITY.
AS I SAY, DON'T KNOW WHERE WE'LL PUT YOU.
OH, I WOULDN'T DREAM OF INTRUDING.
JUST DROP ME AT THE NEAREST HOTEL.
1ZZY, I CAN TAKE THAT FOR YOU.
I'M QUITE CAPABLE OF
CARRYING IT MYSELF, FELIX.
1ZZ-1ZZY, JUST GIVE ME A CHANCE.
EXCUSE ME, PLEASE.
THANK YOU.
WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOUNG MEN THESE DAYS?
GOOD AFTERNOON.
LILLIAN, SHALL WE EXPECT YOU FOR DINNER AT 6:30?
OH, HOW QUAINT.
IN BOSTON WE NEVER DINE BEFORE EIGHT.
I'll SEE YOU LATER, AUNT LILLIAN.
I SHALL BE OVER DIRECTLY
TO SPOIL YOU, MY PRECIOUS GIRL.
WOULD YOU SIGN THE REGISTER, MISS HEPWORTH?
YES, OF COURSE.
WE REQUIRE THAT OUR GUESTS LEAVE A DEPOSIT
WHEN THEY REGISTER.
OHH...
THANK YOU.
AND, UM...
YOU MAY FILL IN
ANY AMOUNT THAT YOU REQUIRE.
GOOD AFTERNOON.
YOUNG MAN, SHOW ME TO MY ROOM.
YES, MA'AM.
YOU LIKE MY NIECE, DON'T YOU, YOUNG MAN?
OH, YES, I SAW THE WAY YOU LOOKED AT HER.
I CAN SPOT ROMANTIC INTRIGUE FROM A MOVING CARRIAGE.
YOU HAVE GOOD TASTE, I'll SAY THAT FOR YOU.
ISN'T SHE ELEGANT?
I THINK I CAN SEE A FAMILY RESEMBLANCE.
LITTLE MORGAN.
YOU WERE THAT HIGH WHEN I SAW YOU LAST.
HELLO, AUNT LILLIAN.
YOU'VE GROWN SO HANDSOME.
YOU'RE THE IMAGE OF YOUR MOTHER.
IT'S A PLEASURE TO MEET YOU, MISS HEPWORTH.
AND YOU, MRS. PETTIBONE.
TO A MAN, A HAT IS A FELT OR A STRAW
TO KEEP THE HEAT IN OR THE SUN OFF.
BUT TO A WOMAN, A HAT IS A CELEBRATION OF HER CHARMS,
A DECLARATION OF HER SPIRIT,
A SIGNAL TOWER OF HER INDEPENDENCE.
DID I MENTION
THAT THE GREAT MR. SHAW HAS USED MY HATS IN HIS PLAYS?
NOW, HE KNOWS THE POWER OF A CHARMING LITTLE CHAPEAU.
YOU MEAN, GEORGE BERNARD SHAW?
YES, HE'S SUCH A DEAR MAN.
HE'S PROPOSED TWICE, BUT I HAD TO TURN HIM DOWN.
IT SEEMS HE WAS ALREADY MARRIED.
I'M SORRY TO PULL YOU AWAY, 1Z2ZY,
BUT I COULD USE YOUR HELP
IN GETTING THE LAMB OUT OF THE OVEN.
I DO SO ADMIRE THE DOMESTIC ARTS.
WOULD THAT I HAD THE PATIENCE.
WELL, MURIEL'S HAD A CAREER, TOO, AS AN EDUCATOR.
SHE WAS SUPERINTENDENT BEFORE FATHER.
AND SHE'S TRAVELLED -- YOU WERE EVEN
ON AN ARCHEOLOGICAL DIG ONCE, WEREN'T YOU?
INDEED!
WELL, I, I LIVE THE QUIET LIFE NOW.
I RUN THE GENERAL STORE.
A GROCER.
HOW INTERESTING.
WELL, I THINK THAT ANY WORK, SINCERELY DONE,
HAS ITS OWN DIGNITY, DON'T YOU?
QUITE.
I KNOW AN ARCHEOLOGIST.
OH, HE TAKES ME TO DINNER OCCASIONALLY.
UH, HOWARD CARTER.
HE'S DIGGING UP SOME MOLDY EGYPTIAN...
HATSHEPSUT.
YES! THE POOR MAN SIMPLY ADORES ME.
REALLY?
YES!
[ GIGGLING ]
THANK YOU.
YOU HAVE YOUR MOTHER'S EYES.
DOESN'T HE, CLIVE?
I SUPPOSE.
I HEAR YOU ALSO HAVE HER ARTISTIC GIFTS.
HE DRAWS RUDE PICTURES
OF HIS ELDERS AND BETTERS.
IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME...
I HAVE WORK TO DO.
[]
BRAVO!
OH, JESSICA WOULD BE SO PROUD OF YOU.
[ SIGHING ]
GIRLS TODAY ENJOY MORE FREEDOM THAN ANY OTHER
WOMEN IN HISTORY.
MORE THAN YOUR MOTHER EVER DREAMED POSSIBLE.
DON'T THROW IT AWAY.
DON'T YOU SETTLE FOR A LIFE OF DOMESTIC DRUDGERY,
THE WAY SHE DID.
HOW DARE YOU FILL HER MIND WITH SPITEFUL PRATTLE!
CLIVE...
I DON'T WANT THAT WOMAN IN THIS HOUSE.
1ZZY DEAR, FETCH MY CLOAK.
I SEEM TO HAVE WORN OUT MY WELCOME.
AND YOU, HAVE I SUBJECTED YOU
TO A LIFETIME OF TURMOIL AND DRUDGERY?
DO YOU HEAR ME COMPLAINING?
IT WON'T BE LONG NOW AND THE CHILDREN WILL BE GROWN.
THEN YOU'LL ONLY HAVE TO PUT UP WITH ME.
THEY GROW UP MUCH TOO FAST.
SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T SEEM FAST ENOUGH.
[ CHUCKLING ]
AND THIS WAS THE SUMMER WE LEARNED TO SAIL.
THE OCEAN WAS NO MATCH FOR YOUR MOTHER.
IS THAT FATHER?
YES.
WASN'T HE A HANDSOME BRUTE, HUH -- NO WONDER YOUR
MOTHER FELL IN LOVE WITH HIM.
[ KNOCKING ]
COME IN.
IF I'D KNOWN TO EXPECT YOU,
I WOULD HAVE ORDERED LUNCH FOR TWO.
OH, I'VE ALREADY EATEN.
PLEASE, GO AHEAD.
BON APPETIT.
IS THAT ALL YOU'RE HAVING?
OH, I'M NOT REALLY HUNGRY.
UM, WOULD YOU BRING THE CARRIAGE AROUND, YOUNG MAN?
I WANT YOU TO TAKE US SIGHTSEEING.
YES, MA'AM.
NOW.
I'VE BROUGHT...
I'VE BROUGHT YOU A FEW THINGS, TO MAKE UP FOR MISSED BIRTHDAYS.
ALL THESE?
YES.
OH, AUNT LILLIAN.
IT'S MAGNIFICENT.
THANK YOU.
OH, I'M GLAD YOU LIKE IT.
YOUR, UM...YOUR MOTHER WANTED US TO STAY CLOSE.
SHE, UH, BEGGED ME TO... WATCH OUT FOR YOU,
BUT, BUT, I, UH...
[ SIGHING ]
IF ONLY I COULD HAVE BEEN WITH YOU FOR HER.
YOU'RE HERE NOW.
SHE SEEMS TO THINK YOU'RE HER PERSONAL SERVANT.
I HOPE SHE REMEMBERS TO BE SUITABLY APPRECIATIVE.
SHE DOESN'T BELIEVE IN TIPPING.
OH?
IN THIS BUSINESS, YOU GET TO KNOW PEOPLE.
I WOULDN'T EXPECT A WOMAN OF HER KIND TO BE MISERLY.
I DON'T KNOW.
I'VE SEEN THE WAY SHE PORES OVER A MENU.
I DON'T THINK SHE HAS VERY MUCH MONEY.
IS THE CARRIAGE READY, YOUNG MAN?
THANK YOU, ELBERT.
OH, GOOD AFTERNOON, MAY I HELP YOU?
YES, MA'AM.
I HAVE A DELIVERY FOR MISS LILLIAN HEPWORTH.
WOULD YOU KNOW WHERE I COULD FIND HER?
YES, SHE'S STAYING HERE WITH US.
I WAS SENT FROM THE BAILIFF'S OFFICE IN CHARLOTTETOWN.
THESE NOTICES WERE FORWARDED TO THE OFFICE
BY A FORMER EMPLOYEE OF MISS HEPWORTH'S.
IT'S A VERY SENSITIVE MATTER.
I MUST GIVE THEM TO HER DISCREETLY.
WELL, I'D GLADLY ACCEPT THEM FOR HER.
[ CLEARING THROAT ]
IT'S VERY IMPORTANT
THAT MISS HEPWORTH RECEIVE THESE IMMEDIATELY.
I'll SEE THAT SHE GETS THEM STRAIGHTAWAY.
GOOD DAY, MA'AM.
GOOD DAY.
OH, DEAR.
...PUT THIS IN THE BOX FOR SIX AND THIS IN EIGHT.
YES, SIR.
OH, MRS. PETTIBONE, MAY I HELP YOU?
MR. TREMAYNE.
UH, IS MISS HEPWORTH IN?
NOT AT PRESENT, I'M AFRAID.
COULD I PASS ALONG A MESSAGE?
OH, DEAR, I...
PERHAPS I SHOULD WAIT, ...
WOULD YOU CARE FOR A CHAIR, MRS. PETTIBONE?
YOU SEEM PALE.
I HOPE YOU AREN'T UNWELL.
OH, NO, NO, THANK YOU.
I'M QUITE WELL.
UH, MR. TREMAYNE...
MAY I COUNT ON YOUR DISCRETION?
WITHOUT QUESTION.
THESE, THESE ARRIVED
THIS MORNING.
FORWARDED BY SPECIAL POST.
CREDITORS' NOTICES?
PAST DUE.
OBVIOUSLY THIS IS SENSITIVE.
RELATIONS ARE ALREADY STRAINED
BETWEEN MY HUSBAND AND MISS HEPWORTH.
DON'T GIVE IT ANOTHER THOUGHT.
I'll SEE MISS HEPWORTH
GETS HER MAIL.
THANK YOU, MR. TREMAYNE.
YES, IS THIS BOSTON PRUDENTIAL TRUST?
THE MANAGER, PLEASE.
SIMON TREMAYNE OF THE WHITE SANDS HOTEL,
PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND.
IT CONCERNS THE FINANCIAL VIABILITY OF ONE OF MY GUESTS.
I'll JUST TELL MURIEL THAT WE'RE GOING.
[ PIANO PLAYING ]
DON'T STOP.
MY, DON'T YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL.
AUNT LILLIAN BROUGHT ME THESE FROM BOSTON.
AUNT LILLIAN SAYS A WOMAN OWES IT TO HERSELF
TO DRESS BEYOND HER MEANS.
IZZY ... YOUR AUNT LILLIAN IS WELL-INTENTIONED,
BUT HER WORLD IS VERY DIFFERENT FROM AVONLEA.
AUNT LILLIAN IS MY MOTHER'S SISTER.
OF COURSE SHE IS, AND YOU SHOULD GET TO KNOW ONE ANOTHER, BUT...
[ SIGHING ]
1ZZY, YOUR AUNT LILLIAN IS CHARMING AND CREATIVE,
AND SHE HAS A WONDERFUL FLAIR
FOR A STORY,
BUT, AND PLEASE, DON'T TAKE ME WRONG,
YOU MUSTN'T TAKE EVERYTHING THAT SHE SAYS AT FACE VALUE.
YOU CAN'T SAY THAT.
AUNT LILLIAN IS MY FLESH AND BLOOD, AND YOU'RE ONLY THE--
JUST THE WOMAN YOUR FATHER MARRIED.
IS THAT WHAT YOU WERE GOING TO SAY?
THERE'S SO MANY THINGS YOUR MOTHER
WOULD WANT US TO DO TOGETHER.
SHE'D WANT ME TO TAKE YOU TO THE BALLET.
I'VE NEVER BEEN TO A BALLET BEFORE.
OH, MY DEAR, WE MUST RECTIFY THAT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
OH, I'D LOVE TO SEE SWAN LAKE.
SWAN LAKE IT SHALL BE.
OH, I ENVY YOU.
SO MANY DELIGHTS IN STORE.
YOUR FIRST OPERA, OH!
AND THE THEATRE AND SALONS AND CAFES AND ROMANCE.
OH, TOUJOURS ROMANCE!
TAKE ME WITH YOU, AUNT LILLIAN.
OH, MY DEAR!
YOUR LIFE IS SO EXCITING.
YOU CAN TEACH ME SO MUCH.
OH, I DON'T KNOW.
YOU CAN TAKE ME TO PLAYS AND CONCERTS
AND SHOW ME HOW TO BEHAVE
AMONG POLITE SOCIETY,
INTRODUCE ME TO
GEORGE BERNARD SHAW.
YES, I'M SURE HE'D BE DELIGHTED.
THEN YOU'LL TAKE ME?
WELL, CLIVE WOULD NEVER PERMIT IT.
HE ONLY WANTS TO BE ALONE
WITH MURIEL ANYWAY.
HE CAN'T WAIT TILL I LEAVE HOME.
HE SAID THIS?
LAST NIGHT.
I HEARD HIM.
YOU POOR THING.
PLEASE, AUNT LILLIAN.
ISN'T IT WHAT MOTHER WOULD HAVE WANTED?
AREN'T YOU COMING INSIDE -- YOU HAVE TO TELL
FATHER I'M GOING WITH YOU.
OH, YES, I SUPPOSE I DO.
YOUNG MAN, I'll CALL FOR THE CARRIAGE IF I NEED IT.
1ZZY?
WHAT IS IT,
FELIX?
I'll, UH...
I'll JUST WAIT BACK AT THE HOTEL.
WHAT? THE DEVIL SHE IS.
YOU'RE NOT FIT
AUNT LILLIAN SAID--
TO TAKE CARE OF A CAT, LET ALONE A CHILD.
I'M NOT A CHILD.
AND I ASKED HER TO TAKE ME.
MIGHT I REMIND YOU THAT JESSICA
YOU GAVE UP ON HER.
ENTRUSTED ISOLDE TO ME.
OH, THAT'S NOT FAIR.
DON'T TALK TO ME ABOUT FAIR.
YOU WERE TOO BUSY WITH SOCIETY
TO BE BOTHERED WITH YOUR SISTER'S CHILDREN.
I WAS ALONE. I COULDN'T MANAGE.
YOU'RE IRRESPONSIBLE. YOU ALWAYS WILL BE.
PEOPLE CHANGE, CLIVE, THEY CHANGE.
BUT NOT YOU.
YOU'RE AS RIGID AND UNFEELING AS--
STOP IT.
JUST STOP IT, EVERYBODY.
YOUR DIFFERENCES ARE YOUR OWN CONCERN.
BUT FOR HEAVEN'S SAKES, BOTH OF YOU, THINK ABOUT IZZY.
YOU CANNOT PICK AND CHOOSE WHEN YOU WANT
TO BE PART OF A CHILD'S LIFE.
1ZZY SUITS YOU NOW BECAUSE YOU THINK SHE'S GROWN.
SHE STILL NEEDS SOMEONE ON WHOM SHE CAN DEPEND.
I LET HER GO FROM MY LIFE ONCE.
THERE'S NO WAY ON GOD'S EARTH I WILL ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN.
YOU CAN'T BULLY HER.
THEY BOTH LOVE YOU, IZZY.
I'M SURE THEY NEVER INTENDED
TO UPSET YOU.
PLEASE GO AWAY.
NO, I'M SORRY.
I'M AFRAID I'M NOT GOING AWAY.
I'M HERE TO STAY.
OH, 122Y,
WHY IS IT THAT THINGS ALWAYS SEEM TO GET OFF TRACK BETWEEN US
WHENEVER YOUR FATHER'S AT HOME?
HE CAN'T TREAT ME LIKE A CHILD ANY MORE.
I'M NEARLY 16. I WANT TO GO LIVE WITH AUNT LILLIAN.
ARE YOU SURE SHE CAN TAKE YOU?
SHE SAID SO.
ARE YOU SURE THAT YOU REALLY WANT TO GO?
YES.
VERY WELL, THEN.
I'll SPEAK TO YOUR FATHER.
DO YOU WANT ME TO GO?
NO.
NOT A BIT.
BUT YOU'RE RIGHT.
I THINK YOU SHOULD MAKE YOUR OWN DECISIONS.
IF IZZY WANTS TO COME WITH ME, I'M NOT GOING TO TELL HER NO.
NO MATTER WHAT ELSEIT IS
YOU WANT TO DO,
LEAVE MY CHILD ALONE.
WHAT A PICKLE, HUH?
FATHER CAN HAVE MURIEL.
THE TWO OF THEM CAN LIVE OUT HERE BY THEMSELVES WITHOUT ME.
OH, IZ, I DON'T THINK HE DOESN'T
WANT YOU TO LIVE WITH HIM ANY MORE.
I OVERHEARD HIM TELLING MURIEL THAT EVERYTHING WOULD BE BETTER
IF I WASN'T EVEN AROUND.
HE'S JUST SHAKEN STILL BY MY DISMISSAL.
THAT'S WHY HE'S BEEN TREATING EVERYONE SO MISERABLY.
I'M TIRED OF FATHER RAILING OFF AT THE DROP OF A HAT.
HE DOESN'T EVEN ACT LIKE WE'RE FAMILY ANY MORE.
IT'S ALL MY FAULT.
I HATED THAT BLOODY MILITARY ACADEMY
TO THE POINT WHERE I COULDN'T THINK STRAIGHT ANY MORE.
I WANT TO FOLLOW MY OWN DREAMS,
NOT FATHER'S.
WHAT I'D REALLY LIKE TO DO IS TO BECOME A TEACHER.
THEN YOU HAVE TO TELL HIM YOU WANT TO DO SO,
JUST LIKE I TOLD HIM I WANTED TO GO TO BOSTON.
HE DOESN'T OFTEN LISTEN TO REASON.
MAYBE IT'S BEST IF I JUST SLIP AWAY QUIETLY.
MAYBE AUNT LILLIAN WILL GIVE ME HAND.
YOU TWO NEED HELP MAKING FATHER SEE YOUR POINT OF VIEW?
YOU MUSTN'T BE AFRAID OF HIM.
FATHER, I'VE WRITTEN THAT LETTER OF APOLOGY.
GOOD, GOOD.
IS THAT ALL? YOU HAVEN'T EVEN SIGNED IT.
I'll SIGN THAT, IF YOU SIGN THIS.
"DALHOUSIE UNIVERSITY."
I'M ENROLLING IN THE LIBERAL ARTS PROGRAM.
ARE YOU INDEED?
AND HOW DO YOU PROPOSE TO PAY FOR YOUR TUITION?
I'll SEEK EMPLOYMENT IN HALIFAX.
I'll PUT MYSELF THROUGH.
I WON'T ASK FOR ANYTHING
FROM YOU.
I ORDER YOU TO SIGN THAT APOLOGY.
I REFUSE THE ORDER, SIR.
GOOD MORNING, LADIES.
OH, FELIX!
JUST PICKING UP A FEW THINGS FOR, UH, PIERRE LAPIERRE.
MAY 1?
I'll GET THESE FOR YOU.
IT'S NOT EVERY DAY THE HOTEL ORDERS
FROM THE LOCAL GENERAL STORE.
WELL, THANK YOU. THAT'S VERY KIND OF YOU.
HOW ARE YOU, IZZY?
SOMETHING I CAN HELP YOU WITH,
MR. KING?
OH, UH, NOT PARTICULARLY.
MISS HEPWORTH IS, UH...
IS A REMARKABLE GUEST.
YOU'RE PRIVILEGED TO HAVE SOMEONE
WHO CAN LAVISH YOU IN SUCH EXPENSIVE GIFTS.
THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL, AREN'T THEY?
SHE'S QUITE A RENOWNED WOMAN
IN BOSTON -- I KNOW I'M
GOING TO HAVE A SPLENDID TIME.
1ZZY, SHE'S A, SHE--
SHE'S WHAT?
FELIX, CAN'T YOU SEE THAT I'M BUSY AT THE MOMENT?
IS THAT FOR MISS HEPWORTH?
SHE LIKES HER BREAKFAST IN BED.
DOES SHE INDEED?
WELL, I HAVE SOMETHING ELSE TO DELIVER.
HER BILL. I WANT HER OUT NOW.
UH, MR. TREMAYNE, DON'T BE TOO HARD ON HER.
SHE IS 1ZZY'S AUNT.
THE WOMAN'S A CHARLATAN.
I JUST DON'T WANT YOU TO HUMILIATE MISS HEPWORTH.
LET ME TAKE THE BILL TO HER...
AND THOSE CREDITORS' NOTES.
VERY WELL.
[ KNOCKING ]
YES?
I'VE BROUGHT YOUR MORNING COFFEE,
MISS HEPWORTH.
YOUNG MAN, COME IN.
WOULD YOU PUT IT ON THE TABLE?
AND WOULD YOU OPEN THE CURTAINS FOR ME?
WHAT'S THIS?
YOUR BILL.
TWO NIGHTS ACCOMMODATION, TWO BREAKFASTS, ONE LUNCHEON,
ONE DINNER, SEVERAL ROOM-SERVICE ITEMS,
AND TWO DAYS RENTAL OF CARRIAGE AND DRIVER.
WHEW!
$22!
OH, WELL, YOUNG MAN, I HAVE NO INTENTION OF CHECKING OUT
AT THIS MOMENT.
I'M AFRAID, MISS HEPWORTH, YOU HAVE NO CHOICE.
THE MANAGEMENT INSISTS THAT YOU SETTLE THIS NOW.
WELL,
WELL, I'll, UH, WRITE YOU A CHEQUE.
I'M SORRY, I'M AFRAID WE CAN'T ACCEPT YOUR CHEQUE.
THE MANAGEMENT HAS TAKEN THE LIBERTY
OF CONTACTING YOUR BANK.
THESE ARRIVED FOR YOU YESTERDAY.
I SEE.
[ KNOCKING ]
OH, WHOEVER IT IS, GO AWAY.
OH!
I'M SORRY TO INTRUDE,
MISS HEPWORTH, BUT...
I REALLY DO THINK WE NEED TO TALK.
FELIX, COULD YOU EXCUSE US FOR A FEW MOMENTS, PLEASE?
PLEASE DON'T TROUBLE YOURSELF -- I'VE ALREADY
SEEN THEM.
I'VE TOLD CLIVE NOTHING OF THIS.
OH, THANK YOU.
WON'T YOU SIT DOWN?
WOULD YOU LIKE SOME COFFEE?
NO, NO, THANK YOU.
I'll PACK IMMEDIATELY, AND, UM, YOU CAN TELL
MR. TREMAYNE THAT I'll PAY HIM JUST AS SOON AS I'M ABLE.
I'M IN THE PROCESS
OF SELLING MY SHOP TO PAY MY DEBTS, AND...
OH, IT SEEMS YOUNG WOMEN NO LONGER CARE
WHAT THEY PUT ON THEIR HEADS.
A TREND I CONSIDER MOST REGRETTABLE.
NO, NO, NO, IT ISN'T FASHION'S FAULT.
I...I'VE NO ONE TO BLAME BUT MYSELF.
I'VE MADE SUCH A MESS OF THINGS.
WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND IS...
WHY YOU FELT THE NEED TO WALTZ IN
AND PUT ON SUCH A BIG SHOW IN THE FIRST PLACE.
BECAUSE I COULDN'T ADMIT TO MY MADDENING BROTHER-IN-LAW
THAT I WAS A FAILURE.
I CAN'T STAND THAT SELF-SATISFIED LOOK
HE GETS WHEN HE'S BEEN PROVEN RIGHT.
I'M SORRY. I REALIZE I'M TALKING ABOUT YOUR HUSBAND.
THAT'S ALL RIGHT. I KNOW THE LOOK THAT YOU MEAN.
STILL, THAT DOESN'T EXCUSE THE WAY THAT YOU'VE MISLED IZZY.
HOW COULD YOU POSSIBLY HOPE TO
TAKE HER WITH YOU TO BOSTON?
THAT WASN'T MY IDEA, BUT I'M NOT
GOING TO SAY NO TO THE SWEET GIRL.
SHE'S MY SISTER'S DAUGHTER.
THOSE CHILDREN, THEY'RE ALL I HAVE LEFT OF HER.
THEY'RE LIKE PIECES OF ME THAT I NEVER REALIZED WERE MISSING.
I WANT TO KEEP 1ZZY A PART OF MY LIFE.
LILLIAN, CHILDREN ALWAYS GO THEIR OWN WAY IN THE END.
THAT'S A LESSON I'VE LEARNED VERY WELL
DURING MY YEARS AS A SCHOOLTEACHER.
BUT WHAT IF I TELL 1ZZY EVERYTHING
AND SHE STILL WANTS TO GO?
WELL, THAT'S THE WAY IT WILL BE, THEN.
BUT...I'D GIVE IT ALL ANOTHER THINK, IF I WERE YOU.
THANK YOU FOR SEEING ME.
THANK YOU.
TAKE CARE NOW.
GOOD MORNING.
YOU'VE GOT MAIL, MY DARLING.
OH, OH, THANK YOU.
CLIVE...CLIVE.
CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE CHILDREN?
WHAT'S TO DISCUSS, MURIEL?
LIFE WILL GO ON LIKE CLOCKWORK.
CLIVE, I KNOW THAT YOU FEEL THE MILITARY HAS GIVEN YOU
A SOLID FOUNDATION WITH WHICH TO ADDRESS
EVERY SINGLE ASPECT OF YOUR LIFE.
BUT THINGS ARE NOT QUITE SO SIMPLE FOR THE REST OF US.
OH, MY DEAR!
THE CHILDREN HAVE NOT ALWAYS BENEFITTED.
THE MILITARY INSTILS RESPECT,
ENFORCES DISCIPLINE, HELPS
THEM PLOT THE RIGHT COURSE
OF ACTION IN THEIR LIVES.
CLIVE, THE CHILDREN ARE NOT MILITARY MANEUVERS.
DON'T, DON'T YOU THINK IT'S TIME TO...WELL,
TO LOOSEN YOUR HOLD JUST A LITTLE.
I'VE ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT THE MAIN DUTY OF A PARENT
WAS TO LOVE A CHILD UNCONDITIONALLY,
AND THEN TO PUSH THAT CHILD FORWARD INTO THE WORLD
TO LIVE HIS OR HER OWN LIFE.
I JUST DON'T WANT TO SEE THEM MAKE MISTAKES.
YOU'VE TAUGHT THEM WELL. HAVE FAITH.
LET THEM COME TO THEIR OWN CONCLUSIONS.
BE HONEST NOW.
DO YOU REALLY THINK PARENTS ALWAYS KNOW
WHAT'S BEST FOR THEIR OWN CHILDREN?
WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO DO?
MORGAN'S RUINED ANY CHANCE AT A RESPECTABLE CAREER.
1ZZY WANTS TO GO TRAIPSING OFF TO BOSTON
WITH THAT BIRD-BRAIN, THINKING SHE'S JOINED HIGH SOCIETY.
LET THEM MAKE THEIR OWN MISTAKES.
I PROMISE YOU, THEY'LL THANK YOU FOR IT.
AND YOU'LL SEE.
[ KNOCKING ]
FATHER.
WELL, WHAT BRINGS YOU OVER OUR WAY?
I COME AS AMBASSADOR FOR MORGAN.
REALLY?
DALHOUSIE IS A GOOD SCHOOL.
I KNOW THAT.
FATHER, WE HAVE TO BE ABLE TO REACH SOME MID-GROUND HERE.
I KNOW YOU ONLY WANT WHAT'S BEST FOR MORGAN,
BUT HE'S MISERABLE BECAUSE HE CAN'T PLEASE YOU.
AFTER ALL, FATHER, HE ONLY WANTS TO FOLLOW IN YOUR FOOTSTEPS.
MY FOOTSTEPS?
NOT AS A SOLDIER. AS AN EDUCATOR.
MORGAN THINKS HE MIGHT WANT TO BE A TEACHER.
A TEACHER?
HE'D HAVE TO KNUCKLE DOWN AND STUDY.
I KNOW THAT, FATHER.
I REDRAFTED MY APOLOGY TO SOUND MORE SINCERE.
A TEACHER, EH?
AN ART TEACHER.
I SEE.
WELL, YOU MIGHT JUST MAKE A GOOD ONE.
YOU CAN STAY IN BOSTON FOR ONE MONTH,
THOUGH IT'S AGAINST MY BETTER JUDGMENT.
THANK YOU, FATHER.
NO DOUBT YOUR AUNT WILL TRY TO POISON YOUR MIND AGAINST ME.
I WON'T LET HER.
I'M AFRAID IF I FORCE YOU TO STAY, I'll LOSE YOU.
I COULDN'T BEAR THAT, IZZY.
IF YOU WANT TO GO, THE CHOICE IS YOURS.
1ZZY, 1ZZY, PLEASE, JUST ONE MINUTE.
FELIX, WHATEVER YOU'RE TRYING TO SAY--
YOU CAN'T GO TO BOSTON.
AND WHY CAN'T I?
WELL, THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT. IT, UH...
YOU DON'T BELONG IN A BIG CITY.
YOU WON'T FIT IN WITH A CROWD LIKE THAT.
YOU'RE NOT STUCK UP AND SOPHISTICATED.
YOU'RE...YOU'RE LIKE AN OCEAN BREEZE.
NOT THAT YOU SMELL LIKE FISH OR ANYTHING.
OH, 1Z2ZY, IZZY, DEAR, THERE YOU ARE.
I REALLY DO NEED TO TALK TO YOU.
I HAVE TO RETURN TO BOSTON QUITE SUDDENLY.
HE DID?
FATHER SAID I COULD GO.
I CAN PACK QUICKLY.
AFTER ALL, WHAT DO I HAVE TO TAKE?
I SUPPOSE, FOR BOSTON, I'll NEED ALL NEW THINGS.
YES, I SUPPOSE YOU WILL.
IT'LL BE A WHOLE NEW ME.
YOU DON'T NEED
FELIX, REALLY.
A WHOLE NEW YOU.
NO, I DON'T THINK YOU NEED TO CHANGE ANYTHING.
I THINK YOU ARE PERFECT THE WAY YOU ARE.
WELL, I DO.
THE WAY YOU DRESS, THE WAY YOU LOOK.
I THINK YOU'RE PERFECT.
DON'T GO, IZ.
STAY HERE WITH ME...
PLEASE.
EXCUSE ME.
WE REALLY DO HAVE TO TALK.
DOES THIS MEAN YOU DON'T WANT ME TO COME WITH YOU?
OH, 122Y, NO, NO!
OH, NO.
NO, I HAVEN'T GIVEN UP ON MY MILLENARY SHOP YET.
I'M GOING TO GO BACK AND FIGHT FOR IT.
BUT, UH, IT'S GOING TO BE A BIT OF A STRUGGLE.
NOT ALL THE GLAMOUR THAT I IMPLIED.
YOU DON'T KNOW
GEORGE BERNARD SHAW?
WELL, HE WAS IN THE SHOP ONCE.
ALTHOUGH I GUESS HE NEVER REALLY PROPOSED.
IT WAS MORE OF A FLIRTATIOUS WINK
OR A NERVOUS TIC.
THERE'S SOMETHING I WANT YOU TO KNOW.
YOUR FATHER LOVES YOU VERY MUCH.
THE MILITARY WAS HIS WHOLE LIFE WHEN HE GAVE UP HIS CAREER
TO MAKE A HOME FOR YOU AND THE BOYS.
IT WAS WRONG OF ME TO RESENT HIM.
AND IT WOULD BE WRONG OF ME TO MISREPRESENT
HIM TO YOU.
WAS MY MOTHER VERY LIKE YOU?
OOH, IN LOOKS, MAYBE A LITTLE.
BUT OTHERWISE, WE WERE QUITE DIFFERENT.
TRUTHFULLY, DO YOU KNOW WHO SHE WAS VERY LIKE?
WHO?
MURIEL.
1ZZY, WHAT IS IT?
I'M SORRY.
WELL, WHATEVER FOR?
I'VE BEEN HORRIBLE TOWARDS YOU.
WE'VE ALL BEEN GOING THROUGH A BIT OF A TIME, HAVEN'T WE?
WELL, IZZY, HAVE YOU MADE UP
YOUR MIND ABOUT GOING TO BOSTON?
I DON'T WANT TO GO.
I THOUGHT YOU DIDN'T WANT ME HERE.
DIDN'T WANT YOU HERE?
DEAR CHILD...
YOU MEAN MORE TO ME THAN MY OWN LIFE.
OH, MY DEAR.
YOUNG MAN, I SHOULD LIKE TO KNOW YOUR VIEWS ON WOMEN'S SUFFRAGE.
ARE YOU FOR OR AGAINST?
FOR, I SUPPOSE.
AND DO YOU BELIEVE THAT A WOMAN IS ENTITLED TO PURSUE
A CAREER IF SHE SO DESIRES?
WHY NOT?
YOUR ANSWERS ARE MOST SATISFACTORY.
WON'T YOU STAY ON AND VISIT, LILLIAN?
NO, NO, NO, MY CREDITORS SEEM TO REQUIRE MY ATTENTION.
1ZZY, SEE ME TO THE WHISTLE STOP?
LET ME LOOK ONCE MORE
INTO JESSICA'S EYES.
GOODBYE, AUNT LILLIAN.
LILLIAN,
THE CHILDREN NEED TO KNOW ALL OF THEIR FAMILY.
I HOPE YOU'LL STAY IN TOUCH.
IS THIS YOUR INFLUENCE?
ARTHUR, MORGAN AND IZZY ARE VERY FORTUNATE
TO HAVE YOU BACK IN THEIR LIVES.
OH, YOU'RE A VERY LUCKY MAN, CLIVE.
TWICE IN YOUR LIFE YOU'VE MARRIED
A WOMAN MUCH TOO GOOD FOR YOU.
I'M NOT GOING TO ARGUE.
GOODBYE.
HMM-HMM.
THANK YOU FOR WANTING ME TO STAY.
I COULDN'T IMAGINE WHAT IT
WOULD BE LIKE IF YOU LEFT.
I'VE BEEN THINKING...
ABOUT WHEN YOU TOLD EVERYBODY THAT WE KISSED.
THERE'S REALLY ONLY ONE WAY TO ERASE A WHITE LIE.
CLOSE YOUR EYES.
