Linda Seton:
There are a lot of humorous little episodes. I tried to get Father to let me take a nursing course at a hospital. Oh yes, and I almost got arrested trying to help some strikers over in Jersey. Well how was I to know that Father was on the board of directors at the company? You see, Case, the trouble with me is I never could decide whether I wanted to be Joan of Arc, Florence Nightingale, or John L. Lewis.
Johnny Case:
What's the matter? You fed up?
Linda Seton:
To the neck.

- What else?
- There were lots of humorous episodes.
00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:09.285
I tried to get Father
to let me take a nursing course at a hospital.
00:00:09.378 --> 00:00:13.328
Yes, and I almost got arrested
trying to help some strikers over in Jersey.
00:00:13.424 --> 00:00:17.374
How was I to know that Father was
on the board of directors of the company?
00:00:17.047 --> 00:00:20.673
You see, Case, the trouble with me
is that I never could decide...
00:00:20.764 --> 00:00:25.177
...whether I wanted to be Joan of Arc,
Florence Nightingale or John L. Lewis.
00:00:25.269 --> 00:00:27.558
- What's the matter, you fed up?
- To the neck.
00:00:28.272 --> 00:00:31.855
Even with this million-dollar museum?
All those marble pillars down there?
00:00:31.942 --> 00:00:34.647
Case, compared to the life I lead...
00:00:34.737 --> 00:00:38.188
...the last man in a chain gang
thoroughly enjoys himself.
00:00:38.824 --> 00:00:43.153
What you need's some time off from
what you've been doing day in, day out.
00:00:43.245 --> 00:00:47.029
You mean from what I've not been doing
days in, please, years out.
00:00:48.792 --> 00:00:52.837
How does your garden grow, Case?
Is life wonderful where you are?
00:00:52.921 --> 00:00:53.751
It can be.
00:00:53.839 --> 00:00:57.255
- But it hasn't been?
- I don't call what I've been doing "living."
00:00:57.509 --> 00:01:00.344
- What do you recommend for yourself?
- A holiday.
00:01:00.429 --> 00:01:02.505
- For how long?
- For as long as I need.
00:01:02.598 --> 00:01:05.931
- You mean just to play?
- No, I've been working since I was 10.
00:01:06.001 --> 00:01:07.999
I want to find out why I'm working.
00:01:08.007 --> 00:01:11.001
The answer can't be just to pay bills
or pile up more money.
00:01:11.732 --> 00:01:14.002
Even if you do,
the government takes most of it.
00:01:14.151 --> 00:01:17.999
- But what is the answer?
- That's what I intend to find out.
00:01:17.571 --> 00:01:21.999
The world is changing out there.
There's new exciting ideas running around.
00:01:21.002 --> 00:01:24.236
Some right, some cock-eyed,
but they are affecting our lives.
00:01:24.328 --> 00:01:28.006
I want to know how I stand, where I fit in,
what all this will mean to me.
