Heartfelt
People who just up and decide that they want to help somebody else
have always puzzled me. To sum it up, read this quote:
“It just took
a little longer to raise the money. That’s all.”
“You had to raise
the money?”
“Well, the cash prize wasn’t quite enough, so I had my
Father sell off the car, and the furniture, and all the jewelry.”
“What cash prize?”
“The prize from the contest. You know, I was
selected as the United States Soap Queen. That’s why I’m on this all
expense paid trip to Europe.”
“Your father doesn’t own the United
States Soap company?”
“No.(Giggles) No, I just use their laundry
detergent. You see, I entered their contest and then I won.”
“You
barely know Freddie, but you’d sell everything you own for him?”
“Well, it’s not everything. I’m keeping the mink. Is that wrong?
Besides, knowing I helped a man like Freddie be able to live his life
again is worth more to me than the car, or the furniture, or all the
jewelry. I really couldn’t ask for a better prize than that.”
“…..”
“I never knew that people like you existed. You are
generous, sincere. You are wonderful.”

Colonel von
Waldheim: “Labiche! Here’s your prize, Labiche. Some of the
greatest paintings in the world. Does it please you, Labiche? Give you
a sense of excitement in just being near them? A painting means as
much to you as a string of pearls to an ape. You won by sheer luck:
you stopped me without knowing what you were doing, or why. You are
nothing, Labiche — a lump of flesh. The paintings are mine; they
always will be; beauty belongs to the man who can appreciate it! They
will always belong to me or to a man like me. Now, this minute, you
couldn’t tell me why you did what you did.”
