his freedom is not yours to offer!
falling in love is out of the question. why do you think men have mistresses? duty. duty to their families and their careers.
where do you think you're going?
come back here! both of you!
divorce will finish your career in politics. how do you intend to support yourself?
divorce eleanor and there is no trust fund.
i knew it. i knew it.
then we must count our blessings.
now that politics are out of the question he can stay here at home with me.
a man as proud and vital as franklin.  you're inviting him to be hurt.
what kind of life is it to be pitied and stared at?
i think i know what's best for franklin. i am his mother!
i adored china. it smelled of ginger cookies.
that sounds like an adventure.
he wants to use his entire trust fund to buy that.  leper colony!
work! playing in a pool all day long? squandering his birthright on a group of fawning strangers? i consider this your fault, eleanor!
you have indulged him and this is the result.
but he does not need to buy it.
then it is settled. we tell him no.
perhaps i have underestimated you.
