Quote context

[...]

- It's nice. Your room, I mean. It's been a long time since I've been here.

- Where were you?

- Getting drunk.

- Where?

- I'm still the people's choice, honey. I did not make a public display of myself anywhere.

- You realize, of course, that you will one day, inevitably.

- Inevitably.

- It's your career, not mine.

- What's mine is yours.

- Don't you think I'm entitled to an explanation?

- What do you want me to say?

- I don't want to put words in your mouth.

- I'd prefer that you would.

- All right.

- When did you get drunk? Where did you get drunk? Why did you get drunk?

- Don't stand over me like that. I'm a sentimental man, Martha.

- I started to get dressed and then I realized it was the forth anniversary of my father's death.

- I thought it would be nice if I went to the cemetery and laid a wreath of flowers on his grave. However, I never got there. Sentiment overwhelmed me. I stopped off to have a drink to his sainted memory.

- As I drank, I thought to myself, it's such a pity that my father isn't alive to be able to see for himself all his dreams come true. The dreams he worked so hard for. His son, a famous man. Married to a beautiful and wealthy woman.

- All right. Now tell me why you got drunk?

- Because I couldn't get up and speak before people.
