00:00What's the matter? You've hardly spoken to me since the race.
00:04Will you please tell me why you pull that ridiculous jealousy?
00:08I don't like you talking to strangers you find hanging around the rails, that's all.
00:13He was one of the crew in the next pit. A fan of yours.
00:17Mine? He didn't look like that to me.
00:21We were just talking. I like talking to people.
00:26I was brought up in show business and we're a friendly crowd.
00:29Not too darn friendly.
00:32Mark.
00:35Darling Mark.
00:39I wish you could trust me.
00:42I love you so much.
00:46You can't trust me, you know.
00:48I want to. I really do, Mary.
00:51It's just that every time I see some idiot staring at you, I...
00:54I see red.
00:56Well, I think you should be pleased that people are attracted to your wife.
00:59I am. It's when they start circling around you.
01:03Darling, that's beyond my control.
01:06Come in.
01:08Come in.
01:12Is this a social call?
01:14Oh no, my dear. Just a little private talk.
01:19You want to buy me off.
01:21Well, I'm not for sale. I never have been.
01:24Perhaps I underestimated you.
01:26Or Mark.
01:28Now, it's time that you faced facts.
01:30You and Mark can never have a real marriage. Not now.
01:34He can't have a son, an heir.
01:37Somebody should tell him.
01:39No. He doesn't have to know. Not now. It's too soon.
01:43Maybe after a while, when he's well again.
01:46We just need a little time. By ourselves.
01:49He belongs with me. You'll only hurt each other.
01:53I'll take my chances on that.
01:55I'm not worried about you, my dear. Mark is my only concern.
01:59Mark? Your property. That's all Mark is to you.
02:02Just a piece of property like your ships or your factories.
02:06And you try to buy him from me like a piece of real estate.
02:08Well, I'm not selling.
02:10You haven't got enough love to buy him with.
02:12Sir John.
02:14Even now, your son is more of a man than you'll ever be.
02:18At least he's not afraid of a fight.
02:21What he doesn't know is that you're the enemy.
02:27You have sworn an oath that Mark Loring has legally been your husband since April the 4th, 1955.
02:33Yes.
02:35Is Mark Loring responsible for this child you carry?
02:41He is my husband and would be the child's father.
02:44A yes or no answer is what the court requested.
02:49Did your husband beget this child?
02:53Is your husband the father of the child you now bear?
02:57No.
02:59Can you tell the court who the father is?
03:02No.
03:04Because you wish to withhold evidence from the court?
03:06Because I don't know.
