Transcript
00:00Oh, I love it here. So great.
00:04I like it too. It's all I've ever known.
00:08I can't understand how a girl like you who's had so much could enjoy such simple things.
00:12Oh, I really haven't had so much.
00:16Johnny, did you ever kiss a girl?
00:20No, I'm afraid I haven't, but...
00:25Past your bedtime, son.
00:29I guess you're right, Dad. Good night, Joan. Good night, Johnny.
00:33Good night, Mr. Stevens. Good night, Johnny.
00:37Joan, I want you to understand how I feel about this.
00:41I do. Perfectly. First, you think your daughter's a flirt.
00:45And second, you don't want little Johnny Boy's life all messed up.
00:49But once you're showing a spark of judgment.
00:53Thanks.
00:57Now, don't pretend that at last you found just the right man, and that man is Johnny Kent.
01:01Well, you wouldn't understand.
01:05Now get this right.
01:09Before you were born, I did John Kent a great wrong.
01:13Took advantage of a technicality. Almost ruined his life.
01:17I'm now trying to right that. You understand that.
01:21Besides, what's the harm of it?
01:25Oh, the fact that we've been seeing each other isn't harmful in itself.
01:29I'd like to, and I didn't see why I couldn't see you.
01:33I thought your father foolish and selfish, but I know better now.
01:37I see Dad's been filling your mind with a lot of nonsense, too.
01:41No, he hurt me worse by not blaming me than if he piled everything upon my shoulders.
01:45Johnny, you've changed in the last few months.
01:49And you believe it. Oh, not that you are, but you mustn't let it go to your head.
01:53You've got to go back and be the boy you used to be.
01:57You know I can never be like that again.
02:01Say, maybe that's your alibi for not wanting to see me anymore.
02:05Well, I didn't say I didn't want to see you.
02:09No, but you're leading up to it.
02:13Well, I'm not going to see you again. Not till after the Olympics.
