Confrontation Between Helen and Babe Ruth
Helen Woodford Ruth: [shocked at Helen's revelation, Babe Ruth loses his temper and shoves the food cart before flipping the bowl in her face]
Let me tell you something. I'm not on the dark of it anymore. The only thing I don't understand now was why they ever let you out because you are incorrigible. That's it, it's over.
Babe Ruth:
Come on, kid. Don't say that. Let's have a rib and forget about this. You're right, I've been bad.
Helen Woodford Ruth:
No! I am through, George!
Babe Ruth:
Helen, give me a chance. We'll let waysides be waysides. Don't leave me like this, all right?
Helen Woodford Ruth:
I am through with chances, George. I'm through with us. I'm taking Dorothy back to Boston and I'm filing for divorce.
