A.Summer.Place.1959 Subtitles

00:01:51,926 --> 00:01:55,Hi, Johnny.
How are reservations coming in?

00:01:55,229 --> 00:01:57,Coming in slow, Claude.

00:02:35,636 --> 00:02:37,Mail's in.

00:02:41,776 --> 00:02:46,Stretch the paint, Todd.
All we wish to do is put up a good front.

00:02:50,885 --> 00:02:54,It ain't the only thing running thin
around here.

00:03:11,873 --> 00:03:15,- Mail seem any heavier?
- I think so, Dad.

00:03:21,582 --> 00:03:23,"Paint it thin," he says, Johnny.

00:03:23,818 --> 00:03:26,Quality don't mean nothing no more
around here.

00:03:26,788 --> 00:03:29,When your grandpa was alive,
things was different.

00:03:29,690 --> 00:03:33,That veranda, full of elegant guests
all summer long.

00:03:33,761 --> 00:03:37,Real guests,
not them paying kind.

00:03:37,799 --> 00:03:40,Yeah, but Grandpa was rich,
and we're not.

00:03:58,319 --> 00:03:59,Oh, Sylvia?

00:04:02,056 --> 00:04:05,This is very amusing.
Almost hilarious.

00:04:05,893 --> 00:04:09,Remember that fellow my father hired
as a lifeguard and tutor...

00:04:09,430 --> 00:04:12,...about 20 years ago,
Ken Jorgenson?

00:04:15,269 --> 00:04:17,What ever made you
think of him?

00:04:17,538 --> 00:04:20,Well, he's turned into a millionaire.
Listen:

00:04:21,609 --> 00:04:24,"Dear Bart Hunter, I ** chartering
the yacht Ramona at Nassau...

00:04:24,712 --> 00:04:27,...and taking my wife and daughter
for an extended cruise.

00:04:27,782 --> 00:04:30,I'd like to end up at Pine Island
for the summer."

00:04:30,384 --> 00:04:31,You see how he worked that in?

00:04:31,953 --> 00:04:35,The mention of the yacht
and the extended cruise?

00:04:36,390 --> 00:04:37,It's hilarious, isn't it?

00:04:39,460 --> 00:04:42,- What is?
- Well, isn't it obvious?

00:04:43,097 --> 00:04:46,He wants to come back here
after 20 years just to gloat.

00:04:46,734 --> 00:04:49,He's heard I've been wiped out
and running this place as an inn...

00:04:50,071 --> 00:04:51,...so he gets a bright idea.

00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:56,"Well," he says, "what a triumph.
I'll just go and stay there.

00:04:56,744 --> 00:05:01,Maybe Bart Hunter will carry my bags.
I might even give him a tip."

00:05:02,150 --> 00:05:06,- Obviously I'm turning him down.
- For the love of God, why?

00:05:07,655 --> 00:05:11,I just don't feel in the mood
to be triumphed over all summer.

00:05:11,459 --> 00:05:15,Bart, this isn't a hobby any longer.
We need the money desperately.

00:05:15,596 --> 00:05:19,He asked for accommodations
we don't happen to have.

00:05:20,134 --> 00:05:22,Two bedrooms
with a connecting sitting room.

00:05:22,303 --> 00:05:25,- Let's give them our room upstairs.
- Where would we sleep?

00:05:26,507 --> 00:05:28,In the gardener's cottage
out back.

00:05:28,910 --> 00:05:30,In the servants' quarters...

00:05:30,378 --> 00:05:33,...where he even slept himself before
with the hired help?

00:05:34,148 --> 00:05:35,That's ridiculous.

00:05:35,550 --> 00:05:39,Three people at $20 a day
for room and meals is $60 per day.

00:05:40,087 --> 00:05:43,Times 90 days is $5400.

00:05:44,125 --> 00:05:46,And as of now, we are flat broke.

00:05:46,861 --> 00:05:49,Because we're broke doesn't mean
we have to lose our dignity.

00:05:49,830 --> 00:05:53,Dignity? The whole place is run-down
for lack of money.

00:05:53,267 --> 00:05:56,Our credit's evaporated,
the garden's gone to seed, the roof leaks.

00:05:57,138 --> 00:05:59,Our son has to go to college this year...

00:05:59,540 --> 00:06:03,...and you'd give up $because of dignity?

00:06:04,245 --> 00:06:08,Bart, we're fighting for our lives.
You never seem to realize that.

00:06:30,304 --> 00:06:32,Those are the clothes I bought for you
in Nassau.

00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:34,Forty-four long. Put them on.

00:06:34,942 --> 00:06:37,If you think I'll wear this yachting cap,
you're crazy.

00:06:37,645 --> 00:06:40,- The man in the store said...
- I don't care what he said.

00:06:40,381 --> 00:06:41,I'm not a yachtsman.

00:06:41,949 --> 00:06:45,And you have to belong to
the Nassau Yacht Club to wear this insignia.

00:06:55,630 --> 00:06:59,I think we're past the point
of pretending we're something we're not.

00:07:00,334 --> 00:07:03,We charter a whole yacht
to arrive in Pine Island in style.

00:07:04,171 --> 00:07:05,The yacht was your idea.

00:07:05,706 --> 00:07:09,The point is, there'll be people on the island
who'll remember me when.

00:07:09,210 --> 00:07:11,And I'm not putting on any dog.

00:07:16,984 --> 00:07:20,Let's plan to try to make them forget
you were an employee there...

00:07:20,221 --> 00:07:21,...not remember it, shall we?

00:07:25,593 --> 00:07:27,Pine Island off the port bow, sir.

00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:41,Molly.

00:07:48,582 --> 00:07:50,There she lies, baby.

00:08:05,333 --> 00:08:09,- I see a big house in the trees.
- There's 12 big ones on the island.

00:08:09,203 --> 00:08:11,- One of them's for sale.
- You wanna buy it?

00:08:13,107 --> 00:08:15,- How'd you know?
- Mama told me.

00:08:16,077 --> 00:08:18,Well, I'd hoped to spring it
as a surprise if...

00:08:19,013 --> 00:08:20,Now, there's a big "if."

00:08:21,615 --> 00:08:25,Those 12 houses on the island
were built by the founders of Pine Island.

00:08:25,653 --> 00:08:26,They incorporated.

00:08:27,488 --> 00:08:30,And now their descendants run the island
like an exclusive club.

00:08:30,591 --> 00:08:33,You have to be looked over
and voted on and all that.

00:08:34,061 --> 00:08:37,The islanders are still "they" to you,
aren't they, Papa?

00:08:38,332 --> 00:08:39,Then why are you coming back?

00:08:41,102 --> 00:08:43,Maybe I just wanna check...

00:08:43,637 --> 00:08:46,...and see how much
memory can exaggerate things.

00:08:47,675 --> 00:08:51,To most people, I guess the island's
just another summer place.

00:08:51,245 --> 00:08:55,It's a lot more than that to me.
And I hope it will be to you.

00:09:03,791 --> 00:09:06,There's a boy up there
watching me.

00:09:16,370 --> 00:09:17,There he goes.

00:09:17,805 --> 00:09:20,Funny feeling,
being looked at without knowing it.

00:09:21,742 --> 00:09:24,Remember that family
that lived next door to us back home?

00:09:25,146 --> 00:09:28,- Yeah.
- Their son used to look at me.

00:09:28,883 --> 00:09:30,Without you knowing it?

00:09:31,485 --> 00:09:34,Well, his bedroom was right across
from mine.

00:09:34,955 --> 00:09:36,And one night,
I felt naughty...

00:09:36,590 --> 00:09:40,...and went right on undressing
so he could see.

00:09:40,194 --> 00:09:41,And then all of a sudden l...

00:09:41,862 --> 00:09:45,I g***t terribly ashamed,
and I ran to pull the curtains down.

00:09:45,299 --> 00:09:50,I'll never forget, I had hot and cold flushes
all over me afterwards.

00:09:50,771 --> 00:09:52,Wasn't that awful?

00:09:54,041 --> 00:09:58,Well, I guess every human being on Earth's
g***t a few things he's ashamed of.

00:09:59,213 --> 00:10:03,All right, you two,
come below and dress for shore.

00:10:18,933 --> 00:10:21,- Daddy, do I have to?
- Do you have to what?

00:10:22,102 --> 00:10:24,Wear this middy blouse ashore
like a 12-year-old.

00:10:25,105 --> 00:10:28,She says I have to wear
this armor-plated bra to flatten me out.

00:10:28,209 --> 00:10:29,And a girdle.

00:10:30,044 --> 00:10:33,She says I bounce when I walk. Do I?

00:10:34,515 --> 00:10:38,- Do I?
- In a pleasant and unobjectionable way.

00:10:38,219 --> 00:10:41,When we arrive at the inn,
I want her to look completely modest.

00:10:41,755 --> 00:10:45,She means like a boy,
flat like a pancake.

00:10:45,426 --> 00:10:46,This thing even hurts.

00:10:47,094 --> 00:10:50,And I couldn't blast my way
into this cast-iron girdle with dynamite.

00:10:50,764 --> 00:10:53,I've had just about enough rebellion
for one afternoon.

00:10:53,467 --> 00:10:55,First you...

00:11:01,976 --> 00:11:04,Molly has a lovely, healthy figure.

00:11:04,178 --> 00:11:07,- Why do you try to destroy it?
- I don't want her stared at.

00:11:07,915 --> 00:11:10,So you insist on desexing her...

00:11:10,518 --> 00:11:13,...as though s***x were synonymous
with dirt.

00:11:34,675 --> 00:11:38,- She isn't flying any owner's pennant, sir.
- Then it must be the Jorgensons.

00:11:38,746 --> 00:11:39,I'll take the wagon down.

00:11:40,147 --> 00:11:44,Oh, if he tries to tip you, spit in his face.

00:11:48,989 --> 00:11:50,There he is.

00:11:50,858 --> 00:11:54,And wearing just what a Midwesterner
thinks a yachtsman should wear:

00:11:54,762 --> 00:11:58,- Blue coat, brass buttons, white...
- Please be cordial, Bart.

00:11:59,133 --> 00:12:01,- A gentleman.
-...
