Like to go as far as that.

I think that Gerald

Ought to open it.

Then, on

Saturday afternoon,

There's a concert

In aid of

The cottage hospital.

And on saturday evening,

We shall both go there.

This is worse

Than the war.

Well...

Speaking of hot water.

How about a long...

...hot bath!

You can both come and talk

Through the door if you like.

We'll wait.

It's lovely having them

Home again, isn't it?

I've missed them both

Terribly.

Well, I'll see you all

At dinner.

You're not

Staying with us?

They'll be out of those

Baths in an hour or two.

They'll want to

See you alone.

Kitty, they'll want to

See you alone.

They came home for that.

I've wanted to say this

For a long time.

They both love you

Very much.

I love them, too.

Yes, but Kitty...

I want you to know, dear,

That whichever you choose,

I shall understand.

You've always

Understood.

You've been a darling.

Goodbye, Peter.

Where are you going?

Want a piece of cake?

No, I'm going home.

I'm tired of seeing you eat.

Wait a minute!

We'll come with you.

Maybe there's something new

To eat at your house.

Hey, wait a minute!

No. Goodbye.

Say, Kitty.

Look. If you don't wait,

I'll jump.

Go back in, idiot.

Will you wait for me?

No.

Alan!

Alan, darling, you're not hurt, are you?

Alan, darling. Alan.

Clown.

Are you cross

That I'm not hurt?

I did scratch my hand.

It's serious. I think that's the

Way you get leprosy or something.

Good.

You've changed.

You're so bloodthirsty.

And you,

You haven't changed.

You're still a child.

You don't feel it.

What don't I feel?

You don't feel anything.

You don't-

Don't I?

How do you know what I feel?

You know about

The months I've been away,

The agony I've been through

Because of you?

You know how frightened

I was of coming home

And finding

That you had changed,

That you didn't feel... The

Things I wanted you to feel?

How frightened I am now

Of saying what I want...

Look here.

I can't say it all.

Maybe I can't say

Any part of it

Because I'm scared.

But Kitty...

Kitty, I-

I've so much love for you.

It's like something you've

Saved up for a lifetime

And didn't know about,

Then it all comes at once.

Alan...

Alan, darling.

I've wanted to hear you

Say that so much.

Darling,

Surely you knew.

I wasn't sure.

You see, I've always

Been around...

I know.

When I first looked through

The bars of my crib,

There you were,

Telling me what to do.

I was not.

When I saw my first tree,

You were in it, peering down.

My first bird

And my first squirrel,

My first bath,

You were always there.

That's what

Makes me afraid.

You may be just used to me.

You may meet some girl...

Lillian Hellman

Lillian Florence Hellman (June 20, 1905 – June 30, 1984) was an American dramatist and screenwriter known for her success as a playwright on Broadway, as well as her left-wing sympathies and political activism. She was blacklisted after her appearance before the House Committee on Un-American Activities (HUAC) at the height of the anti-communist campaigns of 1947–52. Although she continued to work on Broadway in the 1950s, her blacklisting by the American film industry caused a drop in her income. Many praised Hellman for refusing to answer questions by HUAC, but others believed, despite her denial, that she had belonged to the Communist Party. As a playwright, Hellman had many successes on Broadway, including Watch on the Rhine, The Autumn Garden, Toys in the Attic, Another Part of the Forest, The Children's Hour and The Little Foxes. She adapted her semi-autobiographical play The Little Foxes into a screenplay, which starred Bette Davis and received an Academy Award nomination in 1942. Hellman was romantically involved with fellow writer and political activist Dashiell Hammett, author of the classic detective novels The Maltese Falcon and The Thin Man, who also was blacklisted for 10 years until his death in 1961. The couple never married. Hellman's accuracy was challenged after she brought a libel suit against Mary McCarthy. In 1979, on The Dick Cavett Show, McCarthy said that "every word she writes is a lie, including 'and' and 'the'." During the libel suit, investigators found errors in Hellman's popular memoirs such as Pentimento. They said that the "Julia" section of Pentimento, which had been the basis for the Oscar-winning 1977 movie of the same name, was actually based on the life of Muriel Gardiner. Martha Gellhorn, one of the most prominent war correspondents of the twentieth century, as well as Ernest Hemingway's third wife, said that Hellman's remembrances of Hemingway and the Spanish Civil War were wrong. McCarthy, Gellhorn and others accused Hellman of lying about her membership in the Communist Party and being an unrepentant Stalinist. more…
