And I mean enough.

Get up, Rose.

Put your damn tit back in your dress.

You hear me?

Replace that tit.

Damn you, girl.

You made me make a fool out of myself.

She put it away.

A man is supposed to be a fool.

But a woman should have some control.

Now, are you a nitwit?

What's the matter with you?

I'm sorry, Mr. Hillyer.

I couldn't help it 'cause I love you.

Rose, Rose,

poor miserable child...

You said you loved Mrs. Hillyer.

Is this any way to repay her?

She would defend you.

She would fight for you like a tiger.

Don't cry, honey.

Don't cry. Here...

Now let me warn you...

I'm standing here at Thermopylae.

I am standing at Thermopylae...

...and the Persians shall not pass.

Now get your tail out of here,

and wash those dishes. Go on!

Wasn't Daddy great?

I bet he wanted to kiss her some more,

but he didn't.

He was probably just scared Mother

would come home early and catch him.

Buddy, sometimes you make me sick.

Ooh, Baby Doll...

Thermopylae...

...The Persians shall not pass.

Buddy, are you asleep?

No, I'm awake.

What's wrong?

Buddy, I have been wandering

in the wilderness, lost.

I feel awful. Do you mind

if I get in bed with you for a while?

Alright.

I'll be quiet.

I'll lie here a while.

You go on back to sleep.

Oh, Buddy, you don't know

how it hurts to have a broken heart.

Men, I don't understand 'em.

I can't see through them.

I can't figure them out.

They break my heart, that's all.

But this is the worst ever.

'Cause

it wasn't his fault, it was mine.

I was bad.

You wouldn't believe how bad I was.

What did you do, Rose?

I was just awful, Buddy.

Worse than you could know,

a child like you.

It isn't just the loss of him...

...but my own bad behavior

what bothers me so.

It has just made me ill. I am sick.

What was the cause of it all?

You promise

not to tell Doll or nobody?

It's your Daddy. I'm so much in love

with him, I'm out of my mind.

How could such a thing happen?

You know, when I first come,

and he says I looked graceful

like the letter "S",

and called me "Rosebud"?

I fell madly in love

with him right there, right then.

But it's a lost love.

He's a good man.

He won't have nothing to do with me.

Can I touch you here?

It's soft.

It's awful soft.

- What did you expect?

I thought it was like a cantaloupe.

- That's some idea, a cantaloupe.

There's some gristle in it.

- Buddy, quit that.

You're just a child. You shouldn't be

interested about such things.

Actually, I am.

That daddy of yours

is the funniest man.

The things he says.

You never know what he'll say next.

Can I

put my hand inside your nightgown?

No, you can't. I'll tell you

Calder Willingham

Calder Baynard Willingham, Jr. (December 23, 1922 – February 19, 1995) was an American novelist and screenwriter. Before the age of thirty, after just three novels and a collection of short stories, The New Yorker was already describing Willingham as having “fathered modern black comedy,” his signature a dry, straight-faced humor, made funnier by its concealed comic intent. His work matured over six more novels, including Eternal Fire (1963), which Newsweek said “deserves a place among the dozen or so novels that must be mentioned if one is to speak of greatness in American fiction.” He had a significant career in cinema, too, with screenplay credits that include Paths of Glory (1957), The Graduate (1967) and Little Big Man (1970). more…
