Say, *his* bringing me up... Is that what he tells people? Well, I sure like his nerve. Why, he let them cousins keep me on the farm and work me to death like a dog. Marthy Owens:
[chuckles]
Well, you didn't fall for that farm life, did ya'? Anna Christie:
I should say not. I had to slave for all of them. It was all right 'til my mother died. But I was only a "poor relation," you know? And they treated me worse than they dare treat a hired girl. Oh, what a life on that farm out in Minnesota, with them Swedes, woman-hungry. One night I was alone in the house, and one of his sons came back... After that I hated them so, I'd kill them all if I stayed. So I ran away - St. Paul... Anna Christie:

Tell me, and don't keep me waiting.
00:00:03.719 --> 00:00:06.088
I can't tell you, and I won't.
00:00:06.088 --> 00:00:09.999
I've got a good reason,
that's all you need to know.
00:00:09.999 --> 00:00:12.829
I can't marry you,
and that's all there is to it.
00:00:12.829 --> 00:00:16.001
So for heaven's sake,
let's talk of something else.
00:00:16.001 --> 00:00:18.000
No, I'll not.
00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:21.993
- Is it married to someone else you are?
- I should say not.
00:00:33.282 --> 00:00:35.985
You're like them women
can't make up their minds...
00:00:35.985 --> 00:00:39.155
...till they're drove to it.
Well, I'll make up your mind for you.
00:00:39.155 --> 00:00:41.791
We've had enough talk.
Let's go to the other room...
00:00:41.791 --> 00:00:43.926
...and dress in your best.
We're going ashore.
00:00:43.926 --> 00:00:46.329
- She don't do that.
- Where do you get that stuff?
00:00:46.329 --> 00:00:48.231
Never mind,
get on with your dressing.
00:00:48.231 --> 00:00:50.008
- We'll see who'll win in the end, me or you.
- Stay, Anna.
00:00:50.008 --> 00:00:54.203
She will not. She'll do what I say.
You've had your hold on her long enough.
00:00:54.203 --> 00:00:56.472
- It's my turn now.
- Your turn? What am I anyway?
00:00:56.472 --> 00:00:59.997
Never mind what you are.
It's what you're gonna be:
00:00:59.997 --> 00:01:01.021
Wedded to me.
Come on with your dressing.
00:01:01.021 --> 00:01:03.112
- Don't do one thing he say!
- She will!
00:01:03.112 --> 00:01:05.248
- I'm her father.
- She will in spite of you.
00:01:05.248 --> 00:01:07.283
She's taking my orders
from now on, not yours.
00:01:07.283 --> 00:01:08.999
Orders is good.
00:01:08.999 --> 00:01:10.786
Never mind now.
We've no time to be wasting.
00:01:10.786 --> 00:01:14.999
- Do you hear what I'm telling you?
- No, stay here, Anna!
00:01:14.999 --> 00:01:18.361
You can go to blazes, both of you.
00:01:18.361 --> 00:01:22.354
You'd think I was a piece of furniture.
I'll show you. Sit down.
00:01:22.965 --> 00:01:26.998
Sit down, do you hear?
Let me talk for a minute.
00:01:26.998 --> 00:01:27.097
You're all wrong, see?
00:01:27.097 --> 00:01:31.407
I'm gonna tell you two something,
and then I'm gonna beat it.
00:01:31.407 --> 00:01:33.001
I've been meaning
to turn it loose on you...
00:01:33.001 --> 00:01:36.145
...every time you get my goat
with your crazy talk...
00:01:36.145 --> 00:01:38.001
...about wanting to keep me safe inland.
00:01:38.001 --> 00:01:41.001
I wasn't going to tell you,
but you've forced me into it.
00:01:41.001 --> 00:01:44.001
Oh, what's the use?
00:01:44.001 --> 00:01:48.028
It's all wrong anyway. You might as well
get cured this way as any other.
00:01:48.824 --> 00:01:52.999
Don't forget what you said about it not
mattering to you what reason I got...
00:01:53.999 --> 00:01:55.994
...as long as I wasn't married already.
00:01:55.994 --> 00:01:57.004
That's me word, and I'll stick to it.
00:01:57.004 --> 00:02:00.503
You make me laugh, honest.
Wanna bet you will?
00:02:00.503 --> 00:02:03.839
You wait and see.
00:02:03.839 --> 00:02:06.976
You was going on as if
one of you had to own me.
00:02:06.976 --> 00:02:10.999
But nobody owns me, see,
excepting myself.
