with the Hubbards and the Giddens...
who will show him what our famous
Southern hospitality is like.
- That's pretty.
- That's the way they'll print it.
- Ow!
- Hold still, Zan.
You had pretty hair
when you was little.
You was a mighty pretty
little girl.
Addie, will anybody
think I'm pretty now?
Someday some fool
of a man will, I reckon.
Seems there's always somebody
for somebody.
But you'll do, baby.
You're too young to worry
about such things, Alexandra.
You're going to have all the things
I wanted when I was your age.
Addie, make the dinner biscuits
yourself tonight.
Be sure the coffee is strong
and the wine is cold.
Don't worry, Miss Regina.
The dinner will go fine tonight.
They used to go to Europe every year,
Mr. Marshall.
Imagine going all the way to Europe
just to listen to music!
Once Mama met Mr. Wagner,
the composer, you know.
Mrs. Wagner gave Mama and Papa
a signed program.
Another time...
No, thank you, Cal.
It's remarkable to me
how you Southern aristocrats...
have kept together,
kept what belonged to you.
We're not aristocrats. Our brother's
wife is the only one who is.
You make great distinctions.
They've been made for us.
Take Birdie's family.
They owned the plantation Lionnet.
Beautiful place.
Best cotton land I ever saw.
My mother's grandfather was governor
before the war.
and a great day too.
Cloth from Paris,
horses you can't raise anymore...
- darkies to work for them.
- We were good to our people.
- Everybody knew that.
- But when the war comes...
these fine gentlemen ride off and leave
the cotton and the women to rot.
My father was killed in the war.
He was a fine soldier.
- A fine man.
- Yes, certainly. A famous soldier.
That's not the tale
I'm telling Mr. Marshall, Birdie.
The war ends.
Lionnet is almost ruined,
and the sons finish ruining it.
Why? Because the Southern aristocrat
could adapt himself to nothing.
Too high-toned to try.
- It's difficult to learn new ways.
- You're right, it is difficult.
But maybe that's why
it's profitable.
Our grandfather and our father learned
the new ways, learned to make them pay.
They were in trade. Others, like
Birdie's family, looked down on them.
To make a long story short,
Lionnet now belongs to us.
Twenty years ago, we took over their
land, their cotton and their daughter.
You are boring Mr. Marshall
with these ancient family tales.
I hope not. I'm just making an important
point for our future business partner.
- You see...
- Will you come and try a very old port?
I've been saving it
for a special occasion.
- Come, Alexandra.
