00:00What do you mean?
00:05I think maybe I just shouldn't see either one of you for a while.
00:13Darling, you don't mean what you said.
00:15You're tired and you're discouraged.
00:17Your marriage is not over.
00:18I don't see the point in continuing.
00:21Dad, it's so early in your marriage.
00:23You can't call it quits.
00:24Joe's right, honey.
00:25You've got to give yourself a chance to work through the problem.
00:28I have been as reasonable as I know how.
00:30Are you sure that that is really true?
00:34I've tried to explain to him how I feel about family.
00:37You shouldn't have to explain.
00:38He knows how important it is to you.
00:41Family matters to him, too.
00:42Sure.
00:43Sure, his family.
00:44Doesn't seem like ours counts.
00:46How can that be?
00:48I mean, he went through hell trying to get Junior back.
00:50And he worked with Uncle Palmer then, too.
00:53You'd think after all that, he wouldn't be able to turn on Uncle Palmer or on you.
00:56Darling, you and Dixie went through so much grief before you were even free to fall in love.
01:03Don't you think you can get through this, too?
01:05Talk about it.
01:06Find some common ground.
01:09Compromise.
01:10We have been through some pretty tough times together.
01:12And you managed to get through them.
01:14Yes, you can do it again.
01:15I know you can.
01:17Maybe Ted doesn't have the endurance.
01:19Maybe a long haul is too much for him.
01:21But he's stuck with me during that horrible stuff with Adam.
01:25Well, maybe he's all played out.
01:27Maybe that's it.
01:27Maybe he's had it with family entanglements.
01:32You really think he feels so light?
01:33He doesn't care about you, Mom?
01:35I'm sure he cares about you, but he's treating you like you're two darn much trouble.
01:40You really think that?
01:41I'm sorry, Dixie.
01:44My advice is to cut your losses and get out.
01:48If you stay cool long enough to see that Dixie is the important one here, not Palmer, Cortland,
01:53your marriage will have a good chance.
01:55You really think it'll work?
01:56Yes.
01:57I think the love you two have for each other is worth any effort to save.
02:01Keep working at it, honey.
02:02Just don't give up.
02:05Okay.
02:05You're still young.
02:08You've got a full life ahead of you.
02:10Don't wait too long, Dixie.
02:11I can't stand the thought of being alone.
02:13Give up on a hopeless cause and come back to those of us who really love you.
02:18Don't fight it.
02:20It's over.
