- All right.
What brings you here this time, Margaret?
Can I get you anything? A drink?
- Anything?
- No. No, thank you.
If it's about Gretchen...
...she can stay on with us
indefinitely.
She's a delightful child.
Our kids adore her.
Thanks.
John calls me every day from Arizona.
I could tell him anything.
No. No, thank you.
Is it money?
Do you want more from John?
More money?
I never asked Johnny for money.
He's given you $2500
over the past two years.
Well, I gave him $25,000
when I divorced him so he could marry you.
- I dare say you didn't know that.
- He has no secrets from me.
He kept plenty of secrets from me.
That's a crack, I suppose.
You batted those eyes and told him
what a great big wonderful man he was.
You told him how bad I was for him,
that I was too busy with my career...
...that what he needed was a real wife.
- Pure soap opera. He fell for it.
- Because it happened to be the truth.
His name was Morgan.
He didn't like being Mr. Elliot.
Living in Miss Elliot's house,
entertaining Miss Elliot's guests.
Why, he wasn't even Miss Elliot's husband.
He was her lover by appointment.
When she wasn't too tired
or afraid to muss her hair.
Well, I think we've had our talk.
Forgive me.
You deserved to lose him, Margaret.
I've made him happy
because I've let him be Mr. Morgan.
Thank you very much
for the inside story.
Mother, you promised.
I can only stay a minute, dear.
We'll catch it
if we wake up Ronnie and Jennifer.
All right. Jump in.
You remember.
There's something I have to ask you.
Yes, sweetie, what is it?
You...
You are a big movie star, aren't you?
Why?
Well, the kids at day camp...
...they say you don't make pictures
anymore, and...
...Janie Marks, her father's a writer...
...and she said he told her mother that...
...you were...
...washed-up.
So I beat up on her.
That's how I got this scratch.
You tell this Janie Marks
your mother is a star.
I know you were.
But are you now?
Well, if you're a star,
you don't stop being a star.
But they say you'll never make
another picture.
I'm going to begin a new picture
in three weeks.
Oh, well,
when you're making this picture...
...can I do my six months with you?
Yes. Yes, darling.
Oh, am I glad. I love you.
You're so beautiful,
I wanted to put on
some of the perfume you like.
But there wasn't any.
Why are you crying?
Haven't you ever cried
because you're happy?
No.
Well, you see,
some people cry when they are happy...
...and laugh when they are mad.
That's funny.
Isn't it funny?
Now, lie down.
Good night, you darling.
Get some sleep.
