Tom Wingfield:
I'm going to the movies. Amanda Wingfield:
I don't believe that lie! Tom Wingfield:
I'm going to opium dens. Yes, opium dens. Dens of vice and criminals' hangouts, Mother. I've joined the Hogan gang. I'm a hired assassin; I carry a Tommy gun around in a violin case! I run a string of cat houses down in the Valley! They call me Killer, Killer Wingfield. I'm really leading a double life. By day, I'm a simple, honest warehouse worker. But at night, I'm a dynamic czar of the underworld, Mother. I go to gambling casinos; I spin away fortunes on the roulette table. I wear a patch over one eye, false mustache. Sometimes, I put on green whiskers. On those occasions, they call me "El Diablo"! Oh, I could tell you things that would make you sleepless. My enemies are planning to dynamite this place. They're going to blow us all sky high some night! I'll be glad, very happy! So will you! You'll go up, up, up on a broomstick, high over Blue Mountain with seventeen gentlemen callers, you ugly, babbling old witch!

Where you going? Where you going?
00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:04.951
I'm going to the movies. - That's right.
00:00:05.151 --> 00:00:09.999
Now you've had us make such fools of ourselves,
that effort, the preparation, the whole expense,
00:00:09.262 --> 00:00:13.164
the new floor lamp, the rug,
the clothes for Laura, all for what?
00:00:13.364 --> 00:00:15.742
To entertain some other girl's fiance.
00:00:15.743 --> 00:00:17.279
Go to the movies, go.
00:00:17.479 --> 00:00:24.021
Don't think about us. A mother deserted, an
unmarried sister who's crippled and has no job.
00:00:24.041 --> 00:00:26.573
Don't let anything interfere with your selfish pleasure.
00:00:26.773 --> 00:00:31.093
Just go, go, go to the movies.
00:00:31.293 --> 00:00:33.113
All right I will.
00:00:33.262 --> 00:00:35.627
And the more you shout at me about my
selfish pleasures the faster I'll go.
00:00:35.827 --> 00:00:37.002
And I won't go to the movies either.
00:00:37.073 --> 00:00:38.373
Go then!
00:00:38.573 --> 00:00:44.424
Go to the moon you selfish dreamer!
00:00:51.543 --> 00:00:53.345
I didn't go to the moon.
00:00:53.545 --> 00:00:58.953
I went much father for time is the
longest distance between two places.
00:01:03.186 --> 00:01:06.744
I left st. Louis and followed from
then on in my father's footsteps,
00:01:06.944 --> 00:01:09.812
attempting to find in motion
what was lost in space.
00:01:13.416 --> 00:01:15.001
I traveled around a great deal.
00:01:15.999 --> 00:01:18.962
The city swept about me like dead leaves,
00:01:18.999 --> 00:01:21.396
leaves that were bright colored but
torn away from the branches.
00:01:21.596 --> 00:01:23.999
I would have stopped but I
was pursued by something.
00:01:24.142 --> 00:01:28.843
Perhaps I am walking along the street
at night in some strange city
00:01:29.006 --> 00:01:33.999
before I have found companions and then
all at once my sister touches my shoulder.
00:01:34.004 --> 00:01:44.025
I'd turn around and look into her eyes.
00:01:44.045 --> 00:01:48.878
Oh Laura. Laura.
00:01:49.003 --> 00:01:54.843
I have tried to leave you behind me but
I'm more faithful than I intended to be.
00:01:58.236 --> 00:02:00.333
I reach for a cigarette. I buy a drink.
00:02:01.001 --> 00:02:09.983
I talk to the nearest stranger. Anything
that can blow your candles out.
00:02:10.999 --> 00:02:18.999
For nowadays the world is lit by lightning.
Blow out your candles, Laura.
00:02:31.999 --> 00:02:34.142
And so...
00:02:34.001 --> 00:02:34.001
goodbye.
