00:00Do you remember the fairy tales we used to take turns reading to Amelia?
00:06Like the one about the two princesses?
00:11Every time one would open her mouth,
00:14out came diamonds and rubies.
00:17Every time the other one opened her mouth, out came newts and hop-toads.
00:25Newts and hop-toads coming up.
00:31Yes. One of those little toads has already made an appearance.
00:37Really? When?
00:38Tonight, in my dressing room.
00:40When you said I shouldn't have bought that dress for Amelia.
00:44Twice you said it. Just before a performance.
00:50I danced better tonight than I have in years.
00:54So I heard.
00:57Oh. Another little toad.
01:02You must have kept quite a few bottled up all these years.
01:05No.
01:08Embalmed, really.
01:09No, I think not.
01:12Why'd you let them out?
01:13I don't have a performance tomorrow.
01:18Okay.
01:24Pick.
01:30Oh, this is a tiny little one. I'd practically forgotten him.
01:37Why'd you make your best pal doubt herself? And her hubby? Why, Emma?
01:42Why'd you take the chance of lousing up her marriage?
01:46Why'd you say to me, you better have that baby, because if you don't you'll never hold on to Wayne?
01:49Why'd you say all that? I'm just curious.
01:52You have a curious memory.
01:55But don't we all?
01:57As I remember, I said if you had an abortion you might lose weight.
02:01No. That's sweet, but that's inaccurate. I remember exactly your words.
02:07Below these too many moons.
02:10And eventually I figured out why you said them, because I also remember
02:14that you said, forget about Michael's ballet, there'll be others.
02:18You clever little twinkle toes.
02:22You knew a ballet like that comes along once in a career, and you wanted it.
02:26Real bad.
02:28So you lied to make sure you got what you wanted.
02:31Dee Dee, I've never had to lie to get what I wanted. I'm too good.
02:34Really?
02:37Yes.
02:37And I suppose if you said bullshit, you'd say it in French, wouldn't you?
02:41If that word came as naturally to me as it does to you,
02:44I'd have used it several times by now in English.
02:48But I think it's more appropriate that you say it to yourself.
02:51For trying to blame me for what you did.
02:56Dee Dee, the choice was yours.
02:58It's much too late to regret it now.
03:03Same to you, Emma. You darling.
03:12I don't regret mine.
03:14Then why are you trying to become a mother at your age?
03:20Oh, that's not a little toad.
03:22That's rather a large bullfrog.
03:25I don't want to be anybody's mother.
03:27I think of Amelia as a friend.
03:29And one reason I tried to help stupid me.
03:33I thought it would make you happy if your daughter became what you wanted to be and never could be.
03:37Meaning you.
03:39It's so lovely to be you.
03:40Well, obviously you think so.
03:43No.
03:45And anyway, I doubt if Amelia could become you.
03:48She's as talented as you are and she works as hard.
03:55There's one thing, dearest friend, that you are, that Amelia, poor darling, is not.
04:02And what, pray tell, is that?
04:04You're just a killer.
04:09You'd walk over anybody and still get a good night's sleep.
04:12That's exactly how you got where you are, Emma.
04:32Good girl.
04:35Diddy!
04:37Goodbye.
04:38Goodbye.
04:39Goodbye.
