The Thorn Birds movie 6 | As Good As You Get

You're very cruel, Mom. One might think that you of all people would understand. Because of Frank. You can give as good as you get. How long have you known? Since I was a little girl. Since Frank went away. I was 16 when I met him. He was everything that Paddy wasn't. Sophisticated, cultured, charming. I thought I couldn't live without him. But he was an important man a politician and already married. He wasn't about to sacrifice all that for me. I was nothing to his noble ambition. Just as you're nothing to Ralph's.
