00:01:10Oh, well, none of us can live forever.

00:01:17Remarkable man, the Colonel.
00:01:20♪♪
00:01:24A girl's earring.
00:01:26Remarkable.

00:01:30Hmm.
00:01:32♪♪
00:01:35What a lovely sunrise.
00:01:39Too bad he just missed it.

00:02:08Hello.
00:02:11Yes, this is Mr. Tony Ryder.
00:02:13♪♪
00:02:16He did?
00:02:19When?
00:02:21♪♪
00:02:24I see.
00:02:26Oh.
00:02:28I see, huh?
00:02:29Thanks for calling.
00:02:32Bad news, sweetie?
00:02:34Yeah, my uncle, honey.
00:02:36Look, you better leave, sweetheart.
00:02:38Go on.
00:02:39No, it's all right.
00:02:40Go on.
00:02:41Tony!
00:02:42It's all right.
00:02:43You call me later.
00:02:44But, Tony!
00:02:45Come on.
00:02:46♪♪
00:02:54But, Tony, I live here.
00:02:58♪♪
00:03:08♪♪
00:03:18♪♪
00:03:26♪♪
00:03:33Take a look, Mr. O'Hara.
00:03:35I'm looking.
00:03:36The Ryder building, 50 stories of glass and steel.
00:03:40With a statue of the colonel on the top.
00:03:43In solid bronze.
00:03:44Holding one of his magazines.
00:03:46Your magazines now.
00:03:48He left everything to you, my boy.
00:03:50Even you.
00:03:51I do my very best to serve you with the same devotion I did the colonel.
00:03:55Tell me something.
00:03:56How do you follow a man like that?
00:03:59It won't be easy, lad.
00:04:01You know, I've got to prove to them that I'm as good a man for this job as my uncle was.
00:04:05Yes, sir.
00:04:06That won't be easy.
00:04:07No, sir.
00:04:08No, sir.
00:04:09Well, in five minutes, I'm going to head up my first board meeting.
00:04:14You think I'll get away with it?
00:04:16Sure you will, Mr. Ryder.
00:04:18That's one of the advantages of being at the top.
00:04:21Anybody who tells you you're making a mistake is making a bigger mistake.
00:04:25Sure, and I feel better now.
00:04:28I still can't believe he's not going to walk through that door
00:04:31and tell us what's wrong with the latest issues.
00:04:34He's telling it to their best man, the one who's going to be in charge of it.
00:04:39Not me.
00:04:40Not me.
00:04:41Not me.
00:04:42Not me.
00:04:43Not me.
00:04:44Not me.
00:04:45Not me.
00:04:46Not me.
00:04:47Not me.
00:04:48Not me.
00:04:49Not me.
00:04:50Not me.
00:04:51Not me.
00:04:52Not me.
00:04:53Not me.
00:04:54Not me.
00:04:55Not me.
00:04:56He's telling it to that big publisher up there.
00:05:02What about young Ryder? Do you think he's the right man to take over?
00:05:06We don't have much choice.
00:05:09He's the only relative.
00:05:14Gentlemen.
00:05:16Good morning.
00:05:17Good morning.
00:05:18Good morning.
00:05:19Welcome, welcome.
00:05:20Mr. Albright, Mr. Baker, Mr. Carter, Mr. Weaver.
00:05:23How do you do?
00:05:24Oh, no, no, no, excuse me.
00:05:26The chairman of the board says here.
00:05:28The colonel's chair for you, my boy.
00:05:32Thank you.
00:05:37Well, now then, I'd like to make my position absolutely clear.
00:05:40My late uncle and I, we hardly...
00:05:43Oh, sorry.
00:05:50Hardly knew each other.
00:05:51In fact, we were practically strangers.
00:05:53Now, some of you may think the only reason I'm the new chairman of the board
00:05:57is because I'm his only relative.
00:05:59Oh, not at all, not at all.
00:06:01Nevertheless, it's true.
00:06:02Anyway, I'm going to do the best I can, and that's about it.
00:06:07You will be fine, Tony.
00:06:08Believe me, your past reputation is behind you.
00:06:11Right, from a useless life to a life of use.
00:06:13That's the way I look at it.
00:06:14Nothing like responsibility to give a man backbone.
00:06:17And initiative.
00:06:18And drive.
00:06:19You may not be much, but you're all we've got.
00:06:24Well, thank you, gentlemen, for your vote of confidence.
00:06:33Now, what's our problem for today?
00:06:35The colonel. He picked a critical time to die.
00:06:38What about our overseas expansion program?
00:06:40We've been trying to float a bank loan for five million dollars.
00:06:43Now what?
00:06:44Well, we'll open our European branches next month, right on schedule.
00:06:47What do we use for money?
00:06:49Oh, I took care of the bank loan over the weekend.
00:06:51I called an old skin-diving buddy of mine, Pudge Hamilton.
00:06:54Hamilton? Of Hamilton Trust?
00:06:56His son.
00:06:57Anyway, the bank is willing to back us on the colonel's reputation.
00:07:01That's wonderful news, Tony!
00:07:04Of course, they'll have to ratify it at their finance meeting Wednesday.
00:07:08In the meantime, I jotted down some figures on the expansion program.
00:07:15A few more here.
00:07:17A few more here.
00:07:21Didn't win a bet that day.
00:07:23Oh, shot at 76.
00:07:27Mr. Ryder.
00:07:30Oh, amortization, profit potential.
00:07:33See what you think of the fellas.
00:07:38He's a very commonplace man.
00:07:40He said it was important.
00:07:43But I don't know any house detectives.
00:07:47Did he happen to mention any particular city, like London, Paris, Omaha?
00:07:52No, sir. Just that there was a young lady involved.
00:07:56Oh, that's probably just a case of mistaken identity.
00:07:59I'd better see him, straighten this out.
00:08:04I didn't know he could even spell amortization.
00:08:09Mr. Ryder will see you now, Mr. Lasker.
00:08:17Gloria.
00:08:20Jeannie.
00:08:22Jackie.
00:08:24Mr. Ryder, I think there's something you ought to know.
00:08:28Now I remember. Quebec.
00:08:31Chateau Sans Souci.
00:08:33I can explain about that girl in my room that night.
00:08:36She said she was a ski instructor, and I didn't find out until later it wasn't Quebec.
00:08:41Palm Beach. Mirador Hotel.
00:08:45Mirador?
00:08:49That's where my uncle always stays.
00:08:51Or stayed.
00:08:53Oh, yes, sir. With him being your uncle, his reputation and all,
00:08:57I figured you didn't want this kind of thing to get out.
00:09:05She contacted you yet?
00:09:08Who contacted me?
00:09:11Your uncle's girlfriend.
00:09:13His girl...
00:09:15Look, you better fill me in. I don't know what you're talking...
00:09:18Sit down, would you, please?
00:09:20Sure, sure.
00:09:22You see, I was on duty early Saturday morning.
00:09:26I got this complaint that there was disturbance on the ninth floor.
00:09:29I went up to investigate.
00:09:31When I got halfway down the corridor,
00:09:33I spotted this girl running out of your uncle's bedroom.
00:09:36Oh, well, I could think of a million innocent explanations for that.
00:09:41She could have been a manicurist.
00:09:443 a.m.?
00:09:463 a.m.
00:09:48Wearing a Turkish towel?
00:09:50A masseuse. You know, Turkish towel.
00:09:54What'd you do? Did you catch her?
00:09:56I tried, but she beat me to the elevator and got away.
00:09:59When I got back to your uncle's room, the place was all a shambles.
00:10:03Furniture was knocked down, the lamp was broken.
00:10:07He was in bed.
00:10:10Dead.
00:10:14He was smiling.
00:10:16Smiling?
00:10:19Have you told anybody else about this?
00:10:21No, no, sir. No, no. Only the manager.
00:10:24He thought it'd be better for everybody if we just kept this thing quiet.
00:10:27Oh.
00:10:29Did you ever see this girl before?
00:10:31No, sir.
00:10:33Did you get a good look at her?
00:10:35Yeah, yeah.
00:10:37That is, I'd recognize her if I saw her again.
00:10:40Say, uh, maybe this'll help.
00:10:50It's an earring I found on the floor near the bed.
00:10:54I checked.
00:10:56That inscription means, uh, good in Chinese.
00:11:01Chinese.
00:11:03Look, I'll keep this.
00:11:05Do you think you could stay around for a few days?
00:11:08Well, the boss said to do anything you asked.
00:11:10Your uncle was a very good customer.
00:11:12Good. Well, uh, my secretary'll get you a hotel room.
00:11:16I have a hunch this girl's gonna show up, and I want you to identify her.
00:11:20Oh, it'd be a pleasure.
00:11:22In the meantime, consider yourself on the payroll.
00:11:24We'll just charge it off to...
00:11:26Research? Research.
00:11:42These are very interesting figures, Tony.
00:11:44We'd like to talk to you a little.
00:11:52He was a remarkable man.
00:11:54He was a more remarkable man than you think.
00:11:57Sam, you were the colonel's oldest friend.
00:12:00Thirty years' worth.
00:12:02Did he have any love affairs? I mean, after my aunt died, did he ever...
00:12:05Never. The colonel had only one love, his work.
00:12:09He built his whole empire on fidelity and chastity.
00:12:12Well, now, Sam, there was that lady dentist in Seattle.
00:12:15Purely platonic. Anyway, we paid her off years ago.
00:12:19Well, what about that female archaeologist?
00:12:21You know, that tall woman with the pith helmet,
00:12:23threatened to expose him to the National Geographic?
00:12:26You notice she stopped that kind of irresponsible talk in a hurry?
00:12:29Yeah. The minute we paid her off.
00:12:31Boys, I got a flash for you.
00:12:33The colonel died with an undressed girl in his bedroom.
00:12:38I'm not certain about her occupation,
00:12:40but I have a hunch that payoff number three is right around the corner.
00:12:43And the house dick of the Marador said he saw a girl running from him.
00:12:48Uncle Charlie's bedroom, wearing this.
00:12:51Just an earring?
00:12:53And a Turkish towel.
00:12:55This means good in Chinese.
00:12:57And ten to one that the mate of this has luck.
00:12:59It ought to. That young woman has us over a barrel.
00:13:02Blackmail. I can see the headlines.
00:13:05Founder of Family Magazine dies in love nest with a naked nymph.
00:13:09And a smile on his face.
00:13:11The bank loan.
00:13:13If they hear about this, we won't be able to borrow a quarter.
00:13:16What are we going to do?
00:13:18Buy her off like the others.
00:13:20Where do we find her?
00:13:22I have a funny feeling she'll find us.
00:13:24I can draw you a picture of her.
00:13:26She's young, beautiful, sentimental, especially about money.
00:13:30I can even spot her entrance.
00:13:32Where?
00:13:33At the funeral.
00:13:34Where's a better place to show the world how much she's going to miss the colonel?
00:13:37So we will know Thursday.
00:13:39No, that'll be too late.
00:13:41The bank committee meets Wednesday.
00:13:43We'll have the funeral Tuesday.
00:13:45Tomorrow, what about all the preparations?
00:13:47We were going to give him a military ceremony.
00:13:49Some four-star generals were coming up from Washington.
00:13:52We wanted him to go out in style.
00:13:55Sam, he went out in style.
00:14:15Come on.
00:14:40Katie, hi!
00:14:42Hello, Marge.
00:14:44Welcome to the decompression chamber.
00:14:46Well, how was Palm Beach?
00:14:48It was all right, I guess.
00:14:50All right? Is that all you've got to say?
00:14:52What did you do there?
00:14:54I got a tan and lost an earring.
00:14:56Palm Beach, moonlight, millionaires, and all you lost was an earring?
00:15:01Didn't you get to meet any of those millionaires?
00:15:04I made you ask that.
00:15:06Just my feminine sense of greed.
00:15:08Well, did you?
00:15:10Yes.
00:15:11I met a millionaire.
00:15:13Who's that? Who sits there?
00:15:15The new researcher, a man.
00:15:17Imagine. I haven't met him yet.
00:15:22Research, Robbins.
00:15:24Hi. Guess who this is.
00:15:26Well, I'll give you a hint.
00:15:28I'm tall, witty, good-looking, and you're simply mad about me.
00:15:32Warren. Oh, how sweet of you to call.
00:15:35But what's the matter with your voice?
00:15:37You ought to see a doctor.
00:15:39But, honey, I am a doctor.
00:15:41Nothing serious. Just something I picked up from one of my patients.
00:15:44How is Florida?
00:15:46Oh, it's all right. But I'm glad I'm back.
00:15:48So am I.
00:15:50And so will Mom and Dad be.
00:15:52Oh, your folks are in town.
00:15:54Just got in this morning.
00:15:56They can't wait to meet you.
00:15:59Well, I hope they like me.
00:16:02They'll love you.
00:16:04Oh, well, that makes me feel better.
00:16:06How about the four of us getting together, say, Wednesday night?
00:16:11Oh, that's fine. Fine. I'd love to.
00:16:14I'll see you then.
00:16:16Goodbye, dear.
00:16:20Bye.
00:16:26Now then, old man.
00:16:28Let's just make sure this isn't psychosomatic.
00:16:31Say woof.
00:16:33Woof.
00:16:35You know, you're sure lucky to be marrying a professional man who owns his own business.
00:16:39I don't know why you even went to Florida.
00:16:41Oh, I went to think it over.
00:16:44Warren's a wonderful man, Marge.
00:16:47But I don't know if I...
00:16:49Well...
00:16:51Love him?
00:16:53No. Deserve him.
00:16:55Every girl deserves a man, whether she deserves him or not.
00:16:58Katie, come on. Come on. We're keeping them waiting.
00:17:01Who?
00:17:03The brass. The brass. You're on the bargaining committee.
00:17:05Oh, no, Harry. I'm on health and welfare.
00:17:08Oh, you've been kicked upstairs, kiddo.
00:17:10Union-wise, you're in the big time.
00:17:12Oh, but I've been working on pink paper towels for the ladies' lounge.
00:17:15Chicken feed. Chicken feed.
00:17:17Now we're gonna hit them with some real stiff demands.
00:17:19We'll probably be knocking heads right to the lunch hour.
00:17:21Oh, but no. I have to do some shopping during my lunch hour.
00:17:24You see, I have to have a good to go with my luck.
00:17:30Now, don't be upset if I do some table-pounding.
00:17:34And whenever they make a demand, you just shake your head and look worried.
00:17:38But I am worried.
00:17:41The union committee is here.
00:17:43This way, please.
00:17:46Well, this is Mr. Ryder.
00:17:48Mr. Ryder, Mr. Lane, Mr. Kowalski.
00:17:51How are you?
00:17:53This is Katie Robbins, a new member of our committee.
00:17:55Joe Kowalski. Katie.
00:17:57This is Mr. Ryder.
00:18:00How do you do?
00:18:02Hello.
00:18:04Katie?
00:18:25All right, now, let's get the ball rolling.
00:18:27Here's the union proposal.
00:18:29Absolutely ridiculous.
00:18:31It's no proposal. It is a knife in our throat.
00:18:34Don't you think we should read it first?
00:18:44Strong medicine, eh, Mr. Ryder?
00:18:47Seems pretty reasonable.
00:18:50It seems reasonable on the surface.
00:18:52But can management live with it?
00:18:54No! That's not an answer. It's an ultimatum.
00:18:57Take it or leave it. It's a knife in our throat.
00:18:59I said that.
00:19:01Gentlemen, please.
00:19:03What do you think, Miss...?
00:19:05Robbins. Katie Robbins. I'm in research.
00:19:08Research?
00:19:10That's one of our more vital departments in the organization.
00:19:12Where is it?
00:19:1445th floor, behind the water cooler.
00:19:16Oh, cooler.
00:19:18You could hardly call it that, the way it's been working lately.
00:19:21I was just saying the other day in health and welfare that we really should...
00:19:24Is that with two Bs?
00:19:26What, cooler?
00:19:28Robbins.
00:19:30Yes, two Bs.
00:19:32Bs, Bs, Miss Robbins.
00:19:34We've got a very important agenda here.
00:19:36I'm sorry.
00:19:38Severance pay, seniority of rights, fringe benefits.
00:19:41She said she was sorry.
00:19:43When it comes to fringe benefits,
00:19:46I'd say the union's getting all the benefits
00:19:48and management's left holding the fringe.
00:19:50Well put.
00:19:52All we want's a fair deal.
00:19:54A share of the profits.
00:19:56Cooler.
00:19:58Well, I mean, on a hot day, really, our morale...
00:20:01Will you forget the water cooler?
00:20:03Oh, look, if you don't want to negotiate, we're walking out.
00:20:06All right, walk.
00:20:08Gentlemen, gentlemen, this bickering is getting us no place.
00:20:11Now, I suggest we adjourn to a subcommittee of two
00:20:15to feel each other out.
00:20:17Mr. Dunning, why don't you meet Harry after lunch?
00:20:20Oh, just a minute. I have a better idea.
00:20:23Now, a subcommittee of two is an excellent suggestion,
00:20:25but any feeling-out process should logically take place
00:20:29between members of this group
00:20:31who haven't displayed antagonism towards one another.
00:20:34In other words, between Miss Robbins and myself.
00:20:37Now, you don't feel antagonistic towards me, do you, Miss Robbins?
00:20:41Well, uh, no.
00:20:43Good. Nor I towards you.
00:20:45So it seems logical that you and I should meet.
00:20:48You and I meet?
00:20:50Mm-hmm.
00:20:52Uh, oh, uh, now or after lunch?
00:20:55During lunch.
00:20:57No use wasting valuable working hours.
00:21:00Meeting adjourned.
00:21:05Uh-huh.
00:21:07Yeah, we'll keep looking.
00:21:10Gotcha.
00:21:17I'll be back, but, uh,
00:21:20if I get any out-of-town calls...
00:21:22Oh, I, uh, I will be so glad to take them.
00:21:25Don't take them.
00:21:27Oh, don't take them.
00:21:29Gotcha.
00:21:31Don't, don't take them.
00:21:33Gotcha.
00:21:36Oh, pardon me.
00:21:45What's this, Marge?
00:21:47I don't know. It came for you a few minutes ago.
00:21:51You see, that bathing suit I bought in Palm Beach,
00:21:53they were having a sale at this little place.
00:21:56Oh!
00:21:58Yee-haw!
00:22:00Oh!
00:22:01Marge, somebody made a mistake!
00:22:03Oh, my dear, I wish I did.
00:22:05This isn't my coat!
00:22:07Miss Katie Robbins.
00:22:09Well, it's another Katie Robbins.
00:22:11Right, her building, New York, New York.
00:22:13Well, it's another New York.
00:22:15Oh!
00:22:17Oh.
00:22:19I guess it is my coat, isn't it?
00:22:21Oh.
00:22:23Marge.
00:22:25Yes?
00:22:27Can you keep a secret?
00:22:29Oh, Katie, I'd, I'd, I'd just love to.
00:22:31Just give me the chance.
00:22:34I wanted to be by myself on my vacation,
00:22:36you know, sort of think things over
00:22:38about Warren and getting married and all.
00:22:40Uh-huh, uh-huh.
00:22:42Well, it's too important a step to just rush into like that.
00:22:44I know that. I know that, Katie.
00:22:46Well, what about the cold?
00:22:50Health and Welfare found me
00:22:52a nice motel near the beach.
00:22:54It was $7 a day,
00:22:56including a continental breakfast.
00:22:58Florida is a wonderful place
00:23:00if you're a grapefruit.
00:23:04Or half of a twosome.
00:23:17Not that I didn't get offers.
00:23:21But I wasn't interested
00:23:23in that kind of traveler's aid.
00:23:27So I tried to find things
00:23:29I could do alone.
00:23:31That eliminated just about everything
00:23:33that's any fun.
00:23:35During the day, I went to the beach.
00:23:37I read a lot.
00:23:39That is, I tried to.
00:23:47But fiction sounded
00:23:49pretty dull
00:23:51with all the juicy nonfiction
00:23:53going on around me.
00:23:58At night, though,
00:24:00Palm Beach was lovely
00:24:02with that big tropical moon
00:24:04and those dark, velvety clouds
00:24:06filled with romance and mystery.
00:24:08There I was,
00:24:10trespassing in the garden
00:24:12of an exclusive hotel,
00:24:14pretending to be one of the elite.
00:24:30With all the romance around me,
00:24:32there I was with my partner,
00:24:34a very romantic sort of fellow.
00:24:36Fall of air.
00:24:44Help!
00:24:52Help!
00:24:54Suddenly, I heard someone calling for help.
00:24:56There was a man in the pool.
00:24:58He seemed to be drowning.
00:25:00Help!
00:25:02I was wearing my flowered chiffon
00:25:04that cost me two whole months
00:25:06without dessert.
00:25:08My partner was useless,
00:25:10and I remembered my Girl Scout training.
00:25:12Help!
00:25:14And this one was on his fourth.
00:25:16Help!
00:25:34I realized at once
00:25:36that poor Mr. Hackett had been drinking.
00:25:38That was his name,
00:25:40Harry Hackett of Hackett Industries.
00:25:42I couldn't leave him there.
00:25:44He was chill to the bone.
00:25:46So I decided to help him up
00:25:48to his room.
00:25:52That was my first mistake.
00:26:04My second mistake
00:26:06was playing good Samaritan.
00:26:08I bundled him up
00:26:10so he wouldn't catch pneumonia.
00:26:12And then I realized
00:26:14I was the next likely candidate for it myself.
00:26:18In my wet chiffon,
00:26:20I felt like a clam at low tide.
00:26:22Help!
00:26:36As long as he was sound asleep,
00:26:38I decided to get dried off.
00:26:48That was my third mistake.
00:26:52Help!
00:26:58While I'd been playing
00:27:00good Samaritan,
00:27:02Mr. Hackett had been playing possum.
00:27:04I said,
00:27:06Mr. Hackett,
00:27:08please, I'm not dressed.
00:27:10And he said,
00:27:12but sweetie,
00:27:14it's not as if we were strangers.
00:27:16You saved my life.
00:27:18No, no, no.
00:27:20Help!
00:27:28So I said goodbye, Mr. Hackett.
00:27:30I didn't know where I was going,
00:27:32but anything was an improvement
00:27:34over what I'd just left.
00:27:50Help!
00:28:02I went through some curtains.
00:28:04It was dark, but I could just tell
00:28:06I was in another man's bedroom.
00:28:08This just seemed to be my night floor.
00:28:10There was a man in bed.
00:28:12And you know who it was?
00:28:14Frank Sinatra.
00:28:16Marge, Colonel Ryder.
00:28:18Yes.
00:28:20Oh, you are sly.
00:28:22That isn't even the half of it.
00:28:24I'm perfectly willing to listen to the other half.
00:28:26Then it was the colonel who gave you the mink coat?
00:28:28No, he couldn't.
00:28:30Well, if he didn't, who did give you the coat?
00:28:32Mr. Hackett.
00:28:34Bright and early the next morning I got a phone call.
00:28:36It was Mr. Hackett.
00:28:38Anyway, on the phone he said he was sending me a mink coat
00:28:40for saving his life.
00:28:42And he did, and this is it.
00:28:44And I'm returning it.
00:28:46Listen, Katie, there's no need to be so noble
00:28:48even Dr. Schweitzer takes donations.
00:28:50Oh, Marge, back it goes.
00:28:52I refuse to be obligated
00:28:54to a man who practically drowns himself
00:28:56just to get me up to his room.
00:28:58Okay, okay, now what about Colonel Ryder?
00:29:00You were in his room.
00:29:02Katie!
00:29:04That young Ryder's on his way down the lobby to meet you.
00:29:06Oh.
00:29:08I got some last-minute negotiating instructions for you, kiddo.
00:29:10You get to the pension plan
00:29:12before you finish your fruit salad.
00:29:14Important.
00:29:16Pension plan fruit salad, yes, sir.
00:29:18You might have to give him a hard sale on seniority rights.
00:29:20So you order something that'll take a long time,
00:29:22like roast duck.
00:29:24Seniority rights roast duck, yes, sir.
00:29:26Now, here's our proposal on black and white.
00:29:28Yes, sir.
00:29:30Now, don't forget, stand pat.
00:29:32Stand pat.
00:29:34Oh.
00:29:36Thank you.
00:29:42Yeah, this pension plan
00:29:44looks very interesting.
00:29:46You match us.
00:29:48Penny for penny, employee and employer
00:29:50moving forward, shoulder and shoulder, hand in hand.
00:29:52Yeah.
00:29:54That's a very good idea.
00:29:56By the way, where do you live, Miss Robbins?
00:29:58Pardon me?
00:30:00Well, you know, subcommittee work.
00:30:02I may have to get ahold of you in a hurry some night.
00:30:04Uh, uh...
00:30:06463 E. 76th.
00:30:08Oh.
00:30:10Thank you.
00:30:12May I ask you a personal question, Mr. Ryder?
00:30:14Certainly.
00:30:16If your uncle hadn't been Colonel Ryder,
00:30:18what do you think you'd be doing now?
00:30:20Playing golf, I guess.
00:30:22No, what I mean is, you don't seem like management to me.
00:30:24You mean, would I be in the publishing business?
00:30:26Yes, I would.
00:30:28Well, you're lucky to be able to start at the top.
00:30:30I started just one store.
00:30:32I worked as a messenger,
00:30:34then a stock boy,
00:30:36printer's devil for two years.
00:30:38Then I worked in the promotion department,
00:30:40advertising, sales.
00:30:42I moved into the editorial department.
00:30:44I had the experience,
00:30:46but I had to keep proving to the Ryders.
00:30:48You know, if you're a relative,
00:30:50you're supposed to be an idiot.
00:30:52I started at the top the hard way.
00:30:54But still, it must have been nice
00:30:56to have Colonel Ryder behind you all the time.
00:30:58I worked for a rival chain.
00:31:00Oh.
00:31:02Well, that's enough about me now.
00:31:04You, uh, ordered roast duck.
00:31:06Oh, yes, roast duck.
00:31:08Ah, seniority rights.
00:31:10Excuse me.
00:31:14Oh, seniority rights.
00:31:16There are the figures.
00:31:18Oh, right here?
00:31:20Yes.
00:31:22Seniority rights are a basic issue,
00:31:24you know, Mr. Ryder.
00:31:26An old man is like an old car.
00:31:28Just because his carburetor gets rusted
00:31:30and the spark plugs get stuck,
00:31:32you don't just...
00:31:34Voila.
00:31:36Is that a roast duck?
00:31:38From Normandy. Petit, but delicious behind worlds.
00:31:40But it's so small.
00:31:42Madame, petit, mais délicieux.
00:31:44Oh.
00:31:46I just have to talk faster, that's all.
00:31:48Uh, where was I?
00:31:50Your spark plugs were stuck.
00:31:52Oh. Uh...
00:31:54Uh, yes.
00:31:56Uh, you don't just throw an old man
00:31:58on the scrap heap for that.
00:32:00No.
00:32:02You refuel his fuel pump
00:32:04and you tighten up his confidence.
00:32:06And you give him another chance.
00:32:08Voila, madame.
00:32:12Seniority rights, fringe benefits,
00:32:14and pension plan.
00:32:16It's all right here in black and white,
00:32:18Mr. Ryder. Now, speaking for the union...
00:32:20You are standing pat.
00:32:22That's right.
00:32:24Pat.
00:32:26Thank you.
00:32:28Hey, it's 2.30.
00:32:30What do you say we take the rest of the afternoon off?
00:32:32I think we've earned it.
00:32:34I'm curious about something.
00:32:36Why did you pick on me
00:32:38to do the negotiating?
00:32:40I suppose because you were the prettiest one there.
00:32:42But you don't have to be pretty
00:32:44to negotiate.
00:32:46But you're brainy, too.
00:32:48And the nice part about that is
00:32:50your brains don't show a bit.
00:32:52Thank you.
00:32:54But you see, I'm in research,
00:32:56Mr. Ryder, and I've been doing
00:32:58quite a bit of research on you.
00:33:00And I'm afraid I'm not your type
00:33:02at all. I know you like
00:33:04tall, svelte,
00:33:06sophisticated blondes.
00:33:08You're a good researcher.
00:33:10But don't
00:33:12believe everything you read.
00:33:14I said we earned
00:33:16an afternoon off, so
00:33:18let's take it now.
00:33:20What would you like to do?
00:33:22Well, I would like to
00:33:24do some
00:33:26shopping.
00:33:28Just what I had in mind.
00:33:30Why don't you
00:33:32use my car?
00:33:34My chauffeur, O'Hara, he'll drive you
00:33:36anywhere you want to go.
00:33:38And I'll drop off at the club
00:33:40and take a cold shower.
00:33:50May I be of assistance?
00:33:52Yes, thank you.
00:33:54Um, you see, I thought that,
00:33:56uh, I thought that this
00:33:58was a bathing suit that I was brought
00:34:00on sale in Palm
00:34:02Beach. Uh, just one moment.
00:34:08But when I opened the box,
00:34:10I discovered that it wasn't the bathing
00:34:12suit I brought on sale in Palm Beach.
00:34:14It was Mr. Hackett's mink. Mr. Hackett's
00:34:16mink. Yes. Now, I saved his life.
00:34:18And Dr. Schweitzer, or no Dr.
00:34:20Schweitzer, I'm afraid I can't accept this coat.
00:34:22Dr. Schweitzer, excuse me. Uh, this
00:34:24is a matter for our manager. Uh, Mr.
00:34:26Crothers, please. Yes?
00:34:28Yes? Uh, there seems to be
00:34:30a problem with this lady's coat. No, there's
00:34:32no problem. It's just that I can't
00:34:34accept this. Is there something wrong
00:34:36with the coat? Oh, no, not at all. It's just
00:34:38beautiful. But you see, it's not mine.
00:34:40It's Mr. Hackett's. He sent it to
00:34:42me. Oh, Mr.
00:34:44Kirby Hackett? Yes, that's right.
00:34:46And you're Miss Robbie? Uh-huh.
00:34:48Oh, yes.
00:34:50Well, there's been no mistake. The coat's
00:34:52yours. Oh, but there is a mistake.
00:34:54You see, I don't want it. I see.
00:34:56You want the money?
00:34:58No, sir. I do not
00:35:00want the money. But the coat is yours.
00:35:02It's already paid for.
00:35:04I haven't done anything to earn it.
00:35:06Oh, oh,
00:35:08I mean, all I did was take him
00:35:10up to his room and put him to...
00:35:12Oh, well, he had been drinking, you see,
00:35:14and it seemed like the only place we could...
00:35:16Oh!
00:35:18I saved his life!
00:35:20Well, I did! Yes, yes.
00:35:22Will you tell Mr. Hackett I returned the coat?
00:35:24I'm afraid that might be a bit difficult.
00:35:26He left for Europe this morning
00:35:28on the Liberté. I don't care if he went to
00:35:30Devil's Island in a canoe. Please,
00:35:32may I have a receipt for the coat?
00:35:34I'm sure this is
00:35:36not what Mr. Hackett had in mind.
00:35:38I know what Mr.
00:35:40Hackett had in mind.
00:35:42How much is the coat?
00:35:44$11,000.
00:35:46$11,000?
00:35:48Oh, that includes the tax.
00:35:50Oh.
00:35:54Well.
00:35:56There's $10.
00:35:58I would like to pay $5 a week.
00:36:00Are you sure
00:36:02you wouldn't like to think this over?
00:36:04Why, $5 a week, it'll take you
00:36:0645 years to pay for it.
00:36:08I'm in no hurry if you're not.
00:36:10You'll be through paying for it in the
00:36:12year 2005.
00:36:22Here's another five.
00:36:24I'll have to try it on again.
00:36:40And then I saw her
00:36:42buying a mink coat.
00:36:44She paid cash for it.
00:36:46Must have been $1,000 bills.
00:36:52How could she afford
00:36:54a mink on her salary?
00:36:56Overtime.
00:36:58Overtime?
00:37:00Hmm? Overtime?
00:37:04Oh, no, not Miss Robbins.
00:37:06Well...
00:37:08Well...
00:37:10Hmm?
00:37:12Nah.
00:37:20Bye, ladies.
00:37:22Bye, Maurice. See you at 6.
00:37:24Bye.
00:37:26Now, what did you do about the coat?
00:37:28Nothing. I have to pay it off, that's all.
00:37:30But how?
00:37:32$10 a week. It's the principle of the thing, Marge.
00:37:34I wish somebody would test
00:37:36my principles.
00:37:38Hey, I see you found a good to go
00:37:40with your luck, huh? No, they didn't have a good.
00:37:42I had to buy another luck. Luck luck?
00:37:44Well, as long as you keep out of Chinese restaurants.
00:37:50He was a wonderful man,
00:37:52the colonel. Oh, wonderful.
00:37:54He paid the lowest salaries in town.
00:37:56Oh, Marge, that was just his business sense.
00:37:58Underneath he was a sensitive,
00:38:00idealistic, and very lonely human being.
00:38:02Are we talking about the same
00:38:04kind of a writer? Remember when we ran his biography?
00:38:06But when I was doing the research,
00:38:08I came across some of the poems
00:38:10he had done in college. Poems?
00:38:12The colonel? Yes.
00:38:14Of course, he wouldn't let us use any of them,
00:38:16but talk about raw emotion.
00:38:18Keep moving. Express to the 30th floor.
00:38:20Love is like a wild volcano,
00:38:22seething with dark desire.
00:38:24Well, if you don't mind,
00:38:26I'd rather remember him for his low salaries.
00:38:28Hey, kiddo, I've been looking for you.
00:38:30Come on, come on. I got a cab waiting.
00:38:32We're gonna be late. Late for what?
00:38:34The funeral. Union's got three seats.
00:38:36You're one of them. Harry, I couldn't.
00:38:38I couldn't possibly. Why not?
00:38:40Because I'm very emotional. I'll cry.
00:38:42You go ahead. A few tears won't hurt us a bit.
00:38:44But, Harry, you don't understand.
00:38:46It's not just tears. I mean, I cry.
00:38:48At weddings, at funerals.
00:38:50Once, I even cried at a hockey match.
00:38:52I don't know what it is or why I do it,
00:38:54but I'm very emotional. Just like my wife.
00:38:56Only she giggles. At funerals?
00:38:58Yeah, and I'll tell you one thing, kiddo.
00:39:00You'd better stay away from my funeral.
00:39:04And in World War I, what happened?
00:39:08The great man
00:39:10that we have gathered to honor today
00:39:12volunteered
00:39:14once more
00:39:16for military duty.
00:39:18And in six months
00:39:20of hard, grinding toil,
00:39:22he brought chaos.
00:39:24He brought order to the chaos
00:39:26that beset our overseas
00:39:28parcel post service.
00:39:30And that Christmas,
00:39:32I may now reveal,
00:39:34not a single doughboy
00:39:36in the front lines,
00:39:38not one,
00:39:40had to do without a slice
00:39:42of Mom's fruitcake.
00:39:50Easy on the waterworks, kiddo.
00:39:52I'm sorry, Harry.
00:39:54I can't help it.
00:39:56Once I even cried
00:39:58at an auto show.
00:40:00And then,
00:40:02at long last, came the armistice.
00:40:08It's gotta be her.
00:40:10And if I were to summarize
00:40:12Colonel Charles
00:40:14J. Rider's career
00:40:16in one phrase,
00:40:18I would say,
00:40:20first in war,
00:40:22first in peace,
00:40:24first in the publisher game.
00:40:54No!
00:41:04Go on, Harry.
00:41:06I want to dry off a little bit.
00:41:24That's our girl.
00:41:26You recognize her?
00:41:28Even with her clothes on.
00:41:30And the earring, too.
00:41:32It's a perfect match, see?
00:41:34Well, that about wraps it up.
00:41:36She's our blackmailer.
00:41:38No, not Miss Robinson.
00:41:40She's not the type.
00:41:42They never are.
00:41:44We'll be hearing from that young lady.
00:41:46I don't see why you're so upset.
00:41:48If a person can't even sniffle
00:41:50at a funeral...
00:41:52It wasn't a sniffle, it was loud.
00:41:54I practically did a duet with the bugler.
00:41:56Well, it is perfectly natural.
00:41:58Especially in your case.
00:42:00There's no use arguing.
00:42:02I'm going straight upstairs
00:42:04and apologizing to Mr. Rider.
00:42:06Now to conclude report.
00:42:08Cased blackmailer's apartment.
00:42:10Lives alone, except for small bird.
00:42:12Think it was parakeet.
00:42:14Might have been canary.
00:42:16Couldn't make out through binoculars.
00:42:18You mean you were spying on her?
00:42:20Well, orders from the board, sir.
00:42:22That's right.
00:42:24Our orders, Tony.
00:42:26Blackmailer came home about 7, 12 p.m.
00:42:28Made dinner, ate dinner.
00:42:30Washed hair, washed dishes.
00:42:32Went to bed.
00:42:34No visitors?
00:42:36No visitors, no phone calls.
00:42:38Well, that's about the size of it.
00:42:40Better get down to work.
00:42:44Will you please leave by the side door?
00:42:50Still can't believe she did it.
00:42:52Oh, oh, no.
00:42:54Mr. Rider.
00:42:56The bank is postponing the meeting
00:42:58about our loan until tomorrow.
00:43:00Mr. Rider.
00:43:02We're lucky if we don't end up in one.
00:43:04Now, let's be fair.
00:43:06Are we sure this is the girl we're looking for?
00:43:08Of course we are.
00:43:10Lasker identified her, didn't he?
00:43:12People have been hanged on cases of mistaken identity.
00:43:14And I say that a person is innocent
00:43:16until proven guilty.
00:43:18Those earrings.
00:43:20Could be a coincidence.
00:43:22They probably sell thousands of these.
00:43:2410,000.
00:43:26Mr. Rider.
00:43:28And here's something else.
00:43:30If she really was the blackmailer,
00:43:32where would she be now in my office
00:43:34waiting to see me?
00:43:36Mr. Rider.
00:43:38Yes.
00:43:40Miss Robbins is in your office
00:43:42waiting to see you.
00:43:44She said it was important.
00:43:46Careful, Tony. This is sticky business.
00:43:48And she's plenty tricky.
00:43:50Sticky, tricky.
00:44:08Good morning.
00:44:16Good morning, Mr.
00:44:28Good morning.
00:44:30I think I know why you're here.
00:44:32Miss Robbins, please sit down.
00:44:34Thank you.
00:44:36Sit down.
00:44:38I wanted to come up and thank you.
00:44:40Thank you.
00:44:42Thank you.
00:44:44I wanted to come up and
00:44:46get it over with
00:44:48before I lost my nerve.
00:44:52Thank you.
00:44:54I know what you must think of me, Mr. Rider.
00:44:56But honestly,
00:44:58I couldn't help what happened.
00:45:00It was all my uncle's fault.
00:45:02No, it wasn't anybody's fault.
00:45:04Believe me, I didn't want to go.
00:45:06But after all,
00:45:08he was the head of the company.
00:45:10And you were dazzled, huh?
00:45:12Dazzled?
00:45:14Or shall we say impressed?
00:45:16Well, that is a better word, I guess.
00:45:18But you see,
00:45:20the real trouble,
00:45:22Mr. Rider, sir,
00:45:24is that I'm...
00:45:26I'm too sentimental.
00:45:30Sentimental?
00:45:32Oh, I'm sure you could think of a better word.
00:45:34Oh.
00:45:36How about emotional?
00:45:38That's what I am.
00:45:40I'm over-emotional,
00:45:42especially when I think about
00:45:44all those wonderful poems Colonel Rider wrote.
00:45:46He wrote poems?
00:45:48Oh, yes.
00:45:50Oh, they were so sensitive and passionate.
00:45:52Passionate poems?
00:45:54Oh.
00:45:56Love is a wild volcano
00:45:58seething with dark desire.
00:46:00And you and I,
00:46:02the twain, that means the two...
00:46:04I get the idea.
00:46:06Miss Robbins, how many poems are there?
00:46:08Dozens.
00:46:10Dozens? Yes.
00:46:12You know, your uncle was a very warm and tender man,
00:46:14Mr. Rider.
00:46:16Oh, you should read his letters.
00:46:18Letters, too? Yes. Would you like to see them?
00:46:20No, thanks, and I wouldn't want anyone else to see them, either.
00:46:22Oh, well, you mustn't worry about that.
00:46:24I have them in a safe place.
00:46:26I'm sure you do.
00:46:28Mr. Rider,
00:46:30suppose we published all of those letters
00:46:32and poems so that the entire world
00:46:34could see what kind of a man your uncle
00:46:36really was?
00:46:38Oh.
00:46:40Well, it was just a suggestion.
00:46:42Miss Robbins,
00:46:44I've had enough of this cat-and-mouse game.
00:46:46Yes, well, it was just a suggestion.
00:46:48But we both know why you came up here, right?
00:46:50Yes. Now that we know where we both stand?
00:46:52Yes. Well, I'll get back to work.
00:46:54No, we'll talk.
00:46:56Talk? Mm-hmm.
00:46:58What'll we talk about? Fringe benefits?
00:47:00Talk about loyalty.
00:47:02All right.
00:47:04My uncle's reputation and the Rider Enterprises
00:47:06are very closely linked.
00:47:08If anything should happen to destroy this company,
00:47:10hundreds of people would be thrown out of work.
00:47:12Now, you wouldn't want that to happen,
00:47:14would you, Miss Robbins?
00:47:16Why, no. Good.
00:47:18Then your loyalty will be suitably rewarded.
00:47:20Mr. Rider, I didn't come here to ask for any...
00:47:22In the form of a raise?
00:47:24But I don't want to... You want to save $50 a week more?
00:47:26$50? $100.
00:47:28I think you're a little unstrung by the funeral.
00:47:30If you just think it's... $200 a week.
00:47:32Take it or leave it. Oh, I'll take it!
00:47:34I'll take it! Good, good, good.
00:47:36But remember, don't talk about this to anyone.
00:47:40Don't worry. I won't.
00:47:42But I think you should.
00:47:44Talk.
00:47:46To a doctor!
00:47:50Well, why don't you look it up yourself?
00:47:52How do you like that?
00:47:54Some wise guy trying to tell me
00:47:56we had a president named Andrew Johnson.
00:47:58Jeez.
00:48:00I realize that you're new
00:48:02in research, Mr. Lasker,
00:48:04but if there are any more phone calls,
00:48:06especially about presidents,
00:48:08I'll be glad to take them.
00:48:10Oh, gotcha.
00:48:12Oh, excuse me.
00:48:16Thank you.
00:48:18Oh, by the way,
00:48:20do you and
00:48:22Mrs. Lasker
00:48:24bowl?
00:48:26I do. She doesn't.
00:48:28There is no Mrs. Lasker.
00:48:30Oh, that is peachy.
00:48:32That you bowl,
00:48:34I mean.
00:48:36I love bowling.
00:48:38It's so healthy.
00:48:40And maybe some night you could join
00:48:42Katie and me and her boyfriend some night.
00:48:44Sure.
00:48:46Anytime.
00:48:48Tonight? Marge!
00:48:50The strangest thing
00:48:52just happened! Oh, hello.
00:48:54Uh, Miss Robbins, this is Mr. Lasker.
00:48:56Mr. Lasker, this is Miss Robbins.
00:48:58And guess where we're all going tonight?
00:49:00Bowling.
00:49:02Oh, Marge.
00:49:04I'm sorry I can't tonight.
00:49:06I have a date with Warren.
00:49:08This, uh,
00:49:10this fellow Warren,
00:49:12does, uh, does he work here?
00:49:14No, Dr. King says
00:49:16he's a friend of mine. He's her fiancé.
00:49:18They're going to be married.
00:49:20Oh, marriage is a wonderful institution.
00:49:22Yes.
00:49:24Uh, when's the happy event?
00:49:26Oh, we haven't even set
00:49:28the date yet.
00:49:30Uh, when's
00:49:32the happy event?
00:49:34Oh, we haven't even set the date yet.
00:49:36Dr. Kingsley's folks are in town.
00:49:38Katie's afraid they won't like her.
00:49:40I'm not afraid, exactly. But they're from a small town.
00:49:42You know, sort of straight-laced.
00:49:44Small town, straight-laced.
00:49:46Remember that.
00:49:48I hope I make a good impression when I meet them tonight.
00:49:50That's all. Why shouldn't you?
00:49:52Because it'll probably be days
00:49:54before I can pull myself together
00:49:56after that ten minutes I just spent with that nut upstairs.
00:49:58Which nut upstairs?
00:50:00Tony Ryder. That's which nut.
00:50:04Then somebody called research
00:50:06and Miss Robbins got too busy to talk.
00:50:08I wonder why she called Tony a...
00:50:10Excuse me, Tony.
00:50:12A nut.
00:50:14I don't care what she called me or why.
00:50:16We haven't learned a single thing from that electronic house dick.
00:50:18We have a lead
00:50:20that could be very good for us, Mr. Ryder.
00:50:22We found out that this babe
00:50:24is engaged to a very respectable guy.
00:50:26So?
00:50:28So, get her married off and bingo!
00:50:30She's off your back and out of your cash register.
00:50:32Sure.
00:50:34Miss Robbins, how would you like your husband to know
00:50:36about that little episode at Palm Beach?
00:50:38I guess that'll hook her up.
00:50:40Counter blackmail is an ugly word, gentlemen.
00:50:42Suppose we're on the wrong track.
00:50:44Suppose this doctor, uh, what's his name?
00:50:46Kingsley.
00:50:48Suppose he's the real brains behind this blackmail scheme
00:50:50and Miss Robbins is nothing but a pawn.
00:50:52That's hardly likely.
00:50:54Now, likely or not, I intend to do a little investigating of my own.
00:50:56I want to meet this guy,
00:50:58size him up and see what we have to contend with.
00:51:00Yes, sir?
00:51:02Miss Schuster, would you get me the address of, uh,
00:51:04Dr. Warren Kingsley? Yes, sir.
00:51:06Thank you. Meeting adjourned.
00:51:12Amateurs.
00:51:18Well, there you are.
00:51:20Have you any idea how you're going to get in the place?
00:51:22Simple. He's a doctor.
00:51:24I-I can have a stomachache.
00:51:26Careful, or you'll end up with your appendix missing.
00:51:28Very funny, Mr. O'Hara.
00:51:30Now, you... you wait for me down the street there.
00:51:36Now, cheer up, both of you.
00:51:38Come on.
00:51:40Now, you... you wait for me down the street there.
00:51:46Now, cheer up, both of you.
00:51:48The nice doctor says it's all in your mind.
00:51:50Yes.
00:51:52Boo-boo-boo-boo.
00:52:00Woof!
00:52:02Woof!
00:52:06Woof!
00:52:10Woof!
00:52:16Hey, son, do you mind if I, uh,
00:52:18borrow your dog for a few minutes?
00:52:20I'll give you a quarter. What do you say?
00:52:22Gee, thanks, but mister, it's not my dog!
00:52:24You mean it's not your horse.
00:52:40Woof!
00:52:48Woof!
00:52:50Woof!
00:52:52Woof!
00:52:54Woof!
00:52:56Emergency case. I'd like to see the doctor right away.
00:52:58And what is the nature of the emergency?
00:53:00Well, uh,
00:53:02it's rather personal.
00:53:04I'd prefer to see the doctor. Doc!
00:53:06Young man, I think you're finally out of the woods.
00:53:08Doc.
00:53:10You just stick to that vitamin therapy, and you'll feel like a new dog.
00:53:12Thank you, doctor.
00:53:14Yes, do you have an appointment?
00:53:16Emergency case. Very important. Come on, doc.
00:53:18Hold it. Doc.
00:53:20Now, you take it easy,
00:53:22my old boy.
00:53:24Good old Doc will fix you up.
00:53:26Good boy.
00:53:28Did you have an appointment, uh, mister, uh...
00:53:30Hammonschlager. Julius T. Hammonschlager.
00:53:32Yeah, and as I mentioned,
00:53:34this emergency case.
00:53:36I see.
00:53:38What seems to be his, uh, problem, mister
00:53:40Hammonschlager?
00:53:42Well, um...
00:53:46Amnesia.
00:53:48Your dog has amnesia?
00:53:50Yeah, it happened all of a sudden.
00:53:52I was taking him for a walk, and, uh,
00:53:54he gave me that, uh, who are you look.
00:53:56The who are you look?
00:53:58Yeah, like this.
00:54:00Don't mind telling you, it shook me up.
00:54:02Canine amnesia.
00:54:04Canine amnesia. That's very rare.
00:54:06I, uh, I don't think they ever wrote that up.
00:54:08Well, now's your chance, doc.
00:54:10Not only to help me,
00:54:12but, uh, advance the cause of many...
00:54:14Will you hold still, Julius?
00:54:16What are you...
00:54:18You're not in the pocket, Julius.
00:54:20You see that, doc?
00:54:22He thinks he's a pickpocket, Junior.
00:54:24Julius. Isn't that your name, Julius?
00:54:26Is it? Yeah, it is.
00:54:28Well, this is Julius Junior.
00:54:30I'm the sentimental type, and we're very close.
00:54:32All right.
00:54:34See, doc?
00:54:36Now he thinks I'm lassie.
00:54:40Kind of a memory block, huh?
00:54:44May I, um...
00:54:46Yeah.
00:54:50All right, now, Julius, just calm down.
00:54:52You're among friends, huh?
00:54:54Just relax.
00:54:56Just relax.
00:54:58Tell me, Mr. Emmitschlager,
00:55:00have you had a physical lately?
00:55:02Not in six months.
00:55:04Uh, you better check him over.
00:55:06Take your time.
00:55:08If this doesn't work, we'll try analysis.
00:55:10Oh, anything, as long as we can get my buddy back on his feet.
00:55:16Kansas Institute of Veterinary Science.
00:55:20That must be a wonderful old school.
00:55:22Sure is.
00:55:24My father's a president.
00:55:26Oh, he is?
00:55:28Now, let's take a look at those tonsils.
00:55:30Now, now, now, Julius, biting won't solve anything.
00:55:34Just relax.
00:55:38Doc, this picture.
00:55:40I've seen this girl before.
00:55:42Where?
00:55:44Well, isn't she a chorus girl at Cope Cabana?
00:55:46No, I'm afraid not.
00:55:48That's my fiancée.
00:55:50Oh, well, I could be mistaken.
00:55:52No, Mr. Emmitschlager.
00:55:54My family's very straight-laced.
00:55:56I'm afraid they would never allow me
00:55:58to be engaged to a girl from the Cope of Cabana.
00:56:00Rocky!
00:56:02Rocky!
00:56:04All right, where is he?
00:56:06What do you want? This is a respectable clinic.
00:56:08I'm looking for a dog napper.
00:56:10That's what I'm looking for.
00:56:12What's in there?
00:56:14You can't go in there, please.
00:56:16Who snatched my dog?
00:56:18Get out of there.
00:56:20Keep your hands off my patient.
00:56:22Police!
00:56:24You dog napper!
00:56:26I want words with you.
00:56:28I don't know what you did to my dog,
00:56:30but I want everything
00:56:32put back the way it was.
00:56:34Thanks for the advice
00:56:36about my parakeet, Doc.
00:56:38I'll keep him out of drafts.
00:56:40Oh, in there, officer,
00:56:42and you'd better hurry.
00:56:44Dr. Kingsley!

00:57:30Hello.
00:57:32Well, here we are.
00:57:34Won't you come in? How do you do?
00:57:36How are you?
00:57:38Happy to know you, Miss, uh...
00:57:40What was the lady's name?
00:57:42Miss Robbins.
00:57:44Come right in.
00:57:46Thank you.
00:57:50I'm delighted to know you.
00:57:52Miss Robbins, this is Mother.
00:57:54Oh, I'm delighted to know your mother, too.
00:57:56Oh, I mean, uh...
00:57:58She's my mother, Katie.
00:58:00I know, Warren, I know. I meant to say...
00:58:02Did you hear that, Mother?
00:58:04Girl here thought you were Warren's grandma.
00:58:06No, I didn't. Honest, I didn't.
00:58:08You're too old.
00:58:10I mean, you're both too old.
00:58:12Oh, what I mean is...
00:58:14I'll explain it later. Could we sit down?
00:58:16Yes, of course. Sit down.
00:58:18Could I take your rap?
00:58:20Your hat.
00:58:22Yes, put it anywhere.
00:58:30Well...
00:58:32Isn't she everything I said she was?
00:58:40I'm sorry.
00:58:42I don't have any more room.
00:58:44No, no, it's very nice.
00:58:46In Kansas, we have 30 acres.
00:58:48Oh.
00:58:50Well...
00:58:52I could use some of those here.
00:59:04Well, I would say
00:59:06that refreshments are in order.
00:59:08What have you got in mind?
00:59:10Oh, I made a nice big pitcher of cold...
00:59:12Uh...
00:59:14Hot chocolate.
00:59:16Yes, that's right.
00:59:18So you have your choice
00:59:20of cold hot chocolate
00:59:22or hot hot chocolate.
00:59:24Hot, please.
00:59:26I'll have cold, I guess.
00:59:28That's two chocolates.
00:59:30One hot and one cold.
00:59:32Coming right up.
00:59:36Is he nice?
00:59:38Why don't you kill her?
00:59:40She's lonely.
00:59:42I don't want to hear it.
00:59:44I don't want to hear it.
00:59:48I forgot.
00:59:50I'm, uh...
00:59:52all out of chocolate.
00:59:54Uh...
00:59:56Oh, would you like olives?
00:59:58Would you like an olive?
01:00:00No, thanks.
01:00:02No, thank you.
01:00:04They're stinking...
01:00:06Thank you.
01:00:14Well, I guess we're...
01:00:16We're off to our little French restaurant.
01:00:18Oh, little French restaurants.
01:00:20That's all we've had on this trip.
01:00:22It seems to me we ought to go
01:00:24to some big, noisy nightclub.
01:00:26Do you know any nightclubs, Miss Robbins?
01:00:28Oh, there's the Martinique.
01:00:30Uh, but I've never been there.
01:00:32Never.
01:00:34I've heard about it. Let's go there.
01:00:36Dad, it's very popular.
01:00:38I doubt if we'd get in.
01:00:40You just tell them that your daddy
01:00:42heads up the Kansas Institute
01:00:44of Veterinary Science.
01:00:46That'll make them sit up and bark.
01:00:48Sit up and bark.
01:00:50Did you hear that, Mother?
01:00:52Sit up and bark.
01:00:54She said she's never been there.
01:00:56No. I'm a working girl.
01:00:58And working girls just don't have time
01:01:00for nightclubs.
01:01:02Oh, that's right.
01:01:04Yeah, well, uh...
01:01:06should I get your coat, Katie?
01:01:08Thank you, Warren.
01:01:12Oh, I don't need...
01:01:14Uh...
01:01:16Mink? May I...
01:01:18May I have a feel of that?
01:01:22Oh, my.
01:01:24Tourmaline mink. They run into money.
01:01:26What is it
01:01:28you do for a living?
01:01:30Research.
01:01:32Obviously
01:01:34pays very well.
01:01:36Katie,
01:01:38where did you get the coat?
01:01:40I bought it on time, Warren.
01:01:42I was trying to explain.
01:01:44Ten dollars a week.
01:01:46I wanted to surprise you.
01:01:48Yeah. You surprise me.
01:01:50Shall we go?
01:02:00Oh, do you know that I...
01:02:02Oh, I beg your pardon.
01:02:10Thank you.
01:02:40What's the matter, darling?
01:02:42Nothing. I just have a little...
01:02:44business to take care of.
01:02:46Oh, I see.
01:02:48Oh, I see.
01:02:50Oh, I see.
01:02:52Oh, I see.
01:02:54Oh, I see.
01:02:56Oh, I see.
01:02:58Oh, I see.
01:03:00Oh, I see.
01:03:02Oh, I see.
01:03:04Oh, I see.
01:03:06Oh, I see.
01:03:08Oh, I see.
01:03:10Oh, I see.
01:03:12Oh, I see.
01:03:14Oh, I see.
01:03:16Oh, I see.
01:03:18Oh, I see.
01:03:20Oh, I see.
01:03:22Oh, I see.
01:03:24Could we have a table for four, please?
01:03:26I'd be very happy to accept a small bribe tomorrow night.
01:03:28Next week would be even better.
01:03:30Oh, but we...
01:03:32Tonight is quite impossible.
01:03:34Oh, it is?
01:03:36We love each other now. We've got to play Cupid.
01:03:38See, we'll get her a good table, some good music and a real fine wine.
01:03:44Then let nature take its course. You understand?
01:03:46Perfectly.
01:03:49Let's go to the stock club. Mother and I have never been there.
01:03:52Well, I'm more than glad to be leaving. This isn't my kind of place.
01:03:55You're so right, Mrs. Kingsley. It's not my kind of either.
01:04:01Miss Robbins. One moment, please.
01:04:04I have a thousand pardons. I'm sorry I didn't recognize you.
01:04:10It's me.
01:04:13Captain, table 30 for Miss Robbins and her party.
01:04:18Us?
01:04:23But I've never been here before.
01:04:27Katie probably looks like one of their regular customers.
01:04:31Whose name just happens to be Robbins?
01:04:34Champagne.
01:04:41Oh, uh, we didn't order any champagne.
01:04:43For Miss Robbins, compliments of the Martinique.
01:04:46Oh.
01:04:48Oh, well, I know.
01:04:50I'm probably the one millionth person to come in here tonight.
01:04:53Tonight? Well, I mean, since it opened or something.
01:04:57Well, you know, how they're always giving things away.
01:05:00No. No, I don't.
01:05:03Uh, well, they do. All the time.
01:05:06Just last week, there was this girl, and she was crossing this bridge in this car.
01:05:10And they gave it to her. The bridge?
01:05:13No. The car.
01:05:15The new one, too, that is.
01:05:17She was probably the ten millionth person to cross the bridge.
01:05:20Or was it a tunnel?
01:05:22Yeah, well, Mom, if Katie says she's never been here before, she's never been here before.
01:05:26No, I haven't. And it was a tunnel.
01:05:30And this girl, uh...
01:05:37To the Veterinary Institute in Kansas.
01:05:41I'll drink to that.
01:05:50Everything satisfactory, Mr. Ryder?
01:05:52Yeah, I think we've given Cupid a good start. Now, you keep those arrows coming.
01:05:56I heard them say they were going to the store club from here.
01:06:00Good.
01:06:02Come on, honey, let's go to the store club. We can't keep our friends waiting.
01:06:05But we don't have any friends at the store club.
01:06:08Make some. I liked it here.
01:06:12Oh, darling, I forgot my purse.
01:06:15Oh, I'll get it for you. I'll meet you out front.
01:06:17I don't care. You can do it when you're at home.
01:06:20Himmenschlager! It's Himmenschlager!
01:06:23I'll drink to that. No, Dad, it's that crackpot I told you about.
01:06:27Where? Sneaking out.
01:06:31He waved at me.
01:06:33I believe he was waving at me.
01:06:36Don't be silly, honey. How would you know Himmenschlager?
01:06:39Himmenschlager? That's not a Himmenschlager.
01:06:41That's my boss, Tony Ryder.
01:06:43Oh, no. Now you're mistaken.
01:06:45How could I be mistaken about a man that just this morning gave me a $200-a-week raise?
01:06:50Two hundred?
01:06:52A week?
01:06:54I'll drink to that.
01:06:56But I didn't take it.
01:06:58And I've never been to this place before,
01:07:00and I'm so sorry we came here again.
01:07:02Warren, please, couldn't we go someplace else for dinner and have supper?
01:07:05It's just making me very, very nervous.
01:07:07Yeah, I'm a little nervous myself.
01:07:10Waiter, check.
01:07:14Never check for Miss Robbins.
01:07:18I'll drink to that.
01:07:20Me, too. One for the road.
01:07:23Hail to thee, O Kansas
01:07:27Institute of Veterinary Science.
01:07:30With her students
01:07:33Scattered wide
01:07:37I wonder who you get in for.
01:07:40She only had two drinks, Mom.
01:07:42It's just that she never had champagne before.
01:07:44I wonder who you get in for.
01:07:47I wonder who you get in for.
01:07:49I wonder who you get in for.
01:07:51I wonder who you get in for.
01:07:53I wonder who you get in for.
01:07:55They're always ready
01:07:59With needle and insecticide
01:08:07We'll go quietly, officer.
01:08:19Perhaps some other night, sir.
01:08:21Or better yet, some afternoon.
01:08:23But thanks.
01:08:25Oh, no. We're not tourists so bad, you know.
01:08:28I should say now that I happen to be the president
01:08:31Of the Kansas Institute of Veterinary Science.
01:08:33That's right. He is. He's the president.
01:08:35First.
01:08:37No luck, huh? All right.
01:08:39Are they always this snooty?
01:08:42I don't know. I've never been here before.
01:08:44Either.
01:08:46That's the party I told you about.
01:08:48Oh, yes, sir.
01:08:50Come on, honey. Let's get out of here.
01:08:52It's getting awfully stuffy. Let's go back to la martinique.
01:08:55Miss robbins, please forgive the captain.
01:08:58He's a new man.
01:09:00It's nice to see you again, miss robbins.
01:09:03Nice to see you again.
01:09:06Oh, it's nice to see you again.
01:09:08How are the wife and kids?
01:09:10They're just fine. This way.
01:09:14She's never been here either.
01:09:21Thank you, sir.
01:09:31Congratulations are in order for me.
01:09:34I'm the ten-millionth lady to cross this bridge.
01:09:38Hail to thee, oh, kansas institute.
01:09:43Ryder. tony ryder.
01:09:45I'm sure he'll talk to me.
01:09:47They're trying to reach me.
01:09:49They're trying to reach pudge.
01:09:51Good. Try and find out what's holding up that loan.
01:09:54Now, about getting our blackmailer married off.
01:09:57Not a chance, mr. Dunning.
01:09:59Not for a long time, anyway.
01:10:01How do you know?
01:10:03Talked to the waiter at the store club.
01:10:05He told me mrs. Kingsley and her son
01:10:07Were very unhappy about miss robbins
01:10:09Doing the cha-cha in the kitchen.
01:10:12With the cook.
01:10:14Oh, it'll be a cornless day in kansas
01:10:16Before that girl gets married.
01:10:18Cupid-wise, we are in trouble.
01:10:20Our counter-blackmail scheme doesn't have a prayer.
01:10:23We've got to get that young lady out of the way.
01:10:26I know a gangster.
01:10:28Well, he's not really a gangster.
01:10:30He's my wife's brother.
01:10:32Hello. Hello.
01:10:34Oh, hi, pudge.
01:10:36What's the good word on our loan?
01:10:42Oh, I see.
01:10:44Well, could you tell me what kind of a hitch?
01:10:50Oh.
01:10:52I understand, pudge. Thanks.
01:10:56Well, they've decided to hold off on the loan.
01:11:05Gentlemen, I guess I'm not the best man for this job after all.
01:11:09Now, this is no time to give up, tony.
01:11:12Didn't your friend pudge give you any reasons?
01:11:15He said they were checking on a rumor.
01:11:17Didn't know what it was.
01:11:19Rumor?
01:11:21We have got to keep her from talking, or we're sunk.
01:11:24What if we tried this little thing again?
01:11:27Let the little lady incriminate herself?
01:11:29We've already tried that. She wouldn't talk.
01:11:31With me, we tried, and with me, she wouldn't talk.
01:11:34But what if we got somebody else wired for sound?
01:11:37Somebody suave, clever, good-looking.
01:11:41Somebody she could really go for.
01:11:43I've got a cute little spot in the village.
01:11:46Ridiculous.
01:11:50Looks like you're drafted, tony.
01:11:53Oh, I'd like to help you, gentlemen.
01:11:55Mr. Ryder.
01:11:57For personal reasons, I'd rather not.
01:12:03Lesson to this.
01:12:05Dear mr. Ryder,
01:12:07I've been thinking about the $200 a week raise you offered me.
01:12:11Of course, I can't possibly accept it.
01:12:13Naturally, I realize you must have been joking.
01:12:16Joking?
01:12:18Go on, go on.
01:12:20Here's where she slips in the knife.
01:12:22I suppose next, you'll be offering me
01:12:24The ryder building lock, stock and magazines.
01:12:27Ha-ha.
01:12:29Ha-ha?
01:12:31See for yourself.
01:12:33It's ha-ha, all right.
01:12:35This girl is going to ha-ha us right into the poorhouse.
01:12:38Not if we move fast.
01:12:40Yours truly, katie robbins.
01:12:43Well, tony?
01:12:50How do you wear this thing?
01:12:53Good boy! Good boy!
01:12:55Now the question is, where should he go into action?
01:12:58I think mr. Ryder ought to take her someplace
01:13:02Where she thinks they'll be alone.
01:13:04Just the two of them, and she'll really open up.
01:13:07I think I know just the spot
01:13:09Where I can catch miss robbins with her ha-ha down.
01:13:12My apartment tonight.
01:13:14And a little champagne to loosen her tongue, eh, mr. Ryder?
01:13:18Yeah, if that don't work, I can always try torture.
01:13:22That's very funny.
01:13:24That's torture.
01:13:26I'm not in a funny mood, mr. Lasker.
01:13:29As far as katie is concerned,
01:13:31I may be involved in this underhanded scheme,
01:13:34But I certainly don't have to enjoy it.
01:13:37Oh, yes, sir, yes, sir, I see what you mean.
01:13:40Good luck.
01:13:42Huh?
01:13:48I'll get it, tim.
01:13:50Look, after you serve dinner to the young lady and myself,
01:13:54You get lost.
01:13:56Same like always. Get lost.
01:13:58No, no, this is business.
01:14:00Same like always. Monkey business.
01:14:03Hee-hee-hee!
01:14:09I hope I'm not late.
01:14:11Oh, no, not at all. Come on in.
01:14:14Thank you.
01:14:16I'll help you.
01:14:21Thank you.
01:14:23Oh.
01:14:25I realize I shouldn't have warned mink to a business meeting,
01:14:29But, uh, it's my very first one.
01:14:32I'm sure it won't be your last. Ha-ha.
01:14:35Pardon me?
01:14:37Ha-ha.
01:14:39Oh! Yes.
01:14:41Ha-ha.
01:14:43Oh, my.
01:14:45Oh, this is a lovely room.
01:14:59Oh, are there just the two of us again?
01:15:03Surprised?
01:15:05Oh, no.
01:15:07No, it's just that when you called me about the urgent company business,
01:15:11Well, I had this bowling date, and I thought...
01:15:15I don't know what I thought. Health and welfare, maybe.
01:15:19Your health and your welfare, miss robbins?
01:15:22No, everybody's health and welfare. Ha-ha.
01:15:25Ha-ha?
01:15:27Ha-ha-ha-ha.
01:15:29Ha-ha-ha-ha.
01:15:31Ha-ha.
01:15:36Oh, this is beautiful.
01:15:39It's a remington.
01:15:41Yes, he painted this around 1900.
01:15:44Oh, I forgot. You're in research.
01:15:47No, my father used to collect remington sketches.
01:15:51Of course, he could never afford the original oils.
01:15:55Mm.
01:15:57Isn't this beautiful?
01:16:02Well, shall we?
01:16:04Nothing like a little champagne to, uh, loosen your...
01:16:07To whet your appetite.
01:16:09Champagne?
01:16:13Well, I'm not very thirsty, Mr. Ryder.
01:16:16As a matter of fact, I'm not very hungry either.
01:16:19So why don't we just get our business over with, and I'll run along?
01:16:23Well, I'm not in a rush, but I thought maybe you were.
01:16:26Oh, no, I'm not in a rush, miss robbins.
01:16:29Here.
01:16:31Drink up.
01:16:47Oh, your uncle certainly was a strong man, wasn't he?
01:16:51Strong like a bull and weak like a man.
01:16:55Mm. You remind me of him.
01:16:58You have the same strength. You see, the jaw.
01:17:03Uh...
01:17:05I mean, it's similar.
01:17:21Oh, your power's going.
01:17:31Oh, I really can't stay.
01:17:33I have this bowling date, and I'm sort of the anchor man.
01:17:37Girl.
01:17:39I'm sorry, miss robbins.
01:17:41I'm sorry, miss robbins.
01:17:43I'm sorry, miss robbins.
01:17:45I'm sorry, miss robbins.
01:17:47I'm sorry, miss robbins.
01:17:49I never said sorry to the anchor man. Girl.
01:17:52Relax, miss robbins. On a beautiful evening like this,
01:17:55it's no crime to enjoy the view and sip champagne
01:17:58before we settle down to more important matters.
01:18:02Ha-ha.
01:18:04Oh, right. Here's to crime.
01:18:07How's that for a ha-ha?
01:18:09Ha-ha. Ha-ha.
01:18:11But warren, I was in the office when he called, and he said it was business.
01:18:15When a man like tony rider ask a girl like katie up to his apartment,
01:18:18Mind the business. Step on it, driver.
01:18:21But I asked Mr. Lasker to go bowling.
01:18:24Why can't we bowl without Katie and mind our own business?
01:18:28Because Katie is my business.
01:18:29But just an hour ago, you said you were through with her.
01:18:31Well, that was an hour ago.
01:18:34Suppose we get there and there's nothing going on.
01:18:36That better be.
01:18:45Oh, what a beautiful view this is.
01:18:48There's the, uh, the Triborough Bridge
01:18:52and the Brooklyn Bridge
01:18:55and the Queensborough Bridge
01:18:57and the Brooklyn Bridge again.
01:19:00Again?
01:19:03Oh, that's their problem.
01:19:06Here we are.
01:19:08I really shouldn't.
01:19:09Like I said before, I'm the anchorman.
01:19:12But...
01:19:15Ooh.
01:19:32Now, then, let's talk business.
01:19:36Oh, good.
01:19:38I could listen to you talk business all night.
01:19:42I'll lay my cards on the table, Miss Robbins.
01:19:45Mm-mm. Katie.
01:19:47I'm Katie.
01:19:50And you're Mr. Ryder.
01:19:53Cards? What cards?
01:19:55I thought you wanted to talk business.
01:19:57Let's face facts, huh? No beating around the bush.
01:20:00Bush? What bush?
01:20:02You haven't answered me yet about the cards.
01:20:05And I could listen to you play cards all night.
01:20:08Let's get to the point, Miss Robbins.
01:20:10Katie.
01:20:12All right. I know when I'm left, ma'am.
01:20:15It's your move.
01:20:17You name the figure, and I'll make out the check.
01:20:20Oh, I could listen to you make out checks all night.
01:20:23Please, Miss Robbins.
01:20:25Please. Katie.
01:20:27All right.
01:20:29Katie, what do you want?
01:20:32I want...
01:20:36Um...
01:20:38Um...
01:20:40I want to dance.
01:20:49And even though I'm the anchorman,
01:20:52I think that you would better lead.
01:20:57Of course.
01:21:01Oh, me. A jug of wine,
01:21:04a loaf of bread, and thou beside me
01:21:07singing in the wilderness.
01:21:09That's one of the prettiest poems your uncle ever wrote.
01:21:12Or was it your uncle?
01:21:14No, that was Kayan.
01:21:16Onar Kayan.
01:21:18Born 1157. Died 1906.
01:21:21Or was that the Chicago fire?
01:21:24I don't know. As long as I'm not on duty.
01:21:29If it weren't for my uncle,
01:21:32we could have met under more pleasant circumstances.
01:21:35Oh, I think this is very pleasant.
01:21:37Circumstantially, that is.
01:21:41Love is a wild volcano.
01:21:44Seething with you.
01:21:46May kiss me, Mr. Ryder, if you'd like to.
01:21:48It's perfectly all right.
01:21:50Oh, hemmenschlager, you're slipping.
01:21:53Katie.
01:22:00Oh, Mr. Ryder.
01:22:02Mr. Ryder.
01:22:05Mr. Ryder.
01:22:11First time I ever kissed an anchor man.
01:22:14Oh, excuse me.
01:22:16I'm sorry. It's the champagne.
01:22:19I really shouldn't have done that.
01:22:22You see, I'm sort of engaged.
01:22:25At least I was until last night.
01:22:28I think I'd better go.
01:22:30I don't think you've seen the rest of my Remingtons.
01:22:33I saw the one in the living room.
01:22:36I have a few more that I'd like you to see.
01:22:47Here's one of his most famous paintings,
01:22:50Pursuing the Indians.
01:22:52I can sympathize with him.
01:22:54There are more this way.
01:23:03Here's my favorite one.
01:23:06Oh, his famous card game.
01:23:09Yes, I've seen this reproduced so many times,
01:23:12It's like an old friend.
01:23:14Did you know he did a few bronze statues?
01:23:17Yes, he's just as famous for his bronze as he is for his paintings.
01:23:21And there's another beauty over there.
01:23:24Oh, yes.
01:23:26Oh, yes.
01:23:28Oh, yes.
01:23:30Oh, yes.
01:23:32Oh, yes.
01:23:42But I can barely see it.
01:23:45I know.
01:23:47Most men have etchings, and you have Remingtons.
01:23:51Most men aren't as lucky as I am, especially right now.
01:23:55Mr. Ryder, you know what you should do?
01:23:58You should turn this into a theater.
01:24:01A theater in the round?
01:24:03Your lighting effects are most effective.
01:24:06Most.
01:24:08Have this system in all your rooms?
01:24:11Every room, except the kitchen and there.
01:24:17You wouldn't really need it in the kitchen and there.
01:24:21No, you wouldn't.
01:24:23I really must be going, Mr. Rone Ryder.
01:24:26You came here to have a meeting.
01:24:28We're having one, Kate.
01:24:30I'm very embarrassed.
01:24:32I only came here to talk.
01:24:34Of course you did.
01:24:36Let's forget the past.
01:24:38What's done is done.
01:24:40I love you.
01:24:42I didn't want to fall in love with you, but there it is.
01:24:46Mr. Ryder.
01:24:48Tony, I forgive you.
01:24:53You're so sweet.
01:24:55Forgive me for what?
01:24:59For everything, darling.
01:25:01Florida.
01:25:02Florida?
01:25:04The hotel.
01:25:06The hotel?
01:25:08The rendezvous with my uncle.
01:25:10The rendezvous with your uncle?
01:25:13I forgive you for the whole ugly scheme.
01:25:18You think I had a rendezvous with your uncle?
01:25:22Forget that.
01:25:24You met my uncle.
01:25:26He was old and lonely.
01:25:29You felt sorry for him.
01:25:31You're a very emotional girl, right?
01:25:34Right.
01:25:35There's only one small detail you've missed.
01:25:38I didn't happen to meet your uncle.
01:25:40I planned it that way.
01:25:42You planned it?
01:25:44You heard he was loaded.
01:25:46I heard he was loaded.
01:25:48And after Cosmo...
01:25:50Cosmo?
01:25:51The beatnik bongo player I used to be engaged to.
01:25:54He was great on the bongos, but very low on the dough.
01:25:58You want baseball players?
01:26:00There were quite a few others.
01:26:02I was crazy about baseball players.
01:26:04I used to like jockeys, too.
01:26:06I kept growing, and they didn't.
01:26:08That's all in the past.
01:26:10Prize fighters are the worst.
01:26:12You have to catch them when they're not in training.
01:26:15We're all a little weak.
01:26:17I'm not.
01:26:18I'm strong.
01:26:19Back to that rendezvous.
01:26:21Why did I do it?
01:26:23Blackmail?
01:26:24Blackmail?
01:26:25I forgive you.
01:26:26That's all in the past.
01:26:27Thanks a lot.
01:26:29And one more thing, Mr. Ryder.
01:26:32Once a blackmailer, always a blackmailer.
01:26:36I want money, real money.
01:26:38By the time I get through with you,
01:26:40you'll be selling your magazine.
01:26:42Let's go, on the street corner.
01:26:44Katie, you can't leave me now.
01:26:50Katie!
01:26:51Come here, I'll cut your nose!
01:26:53Katie!
01:26:56Good evening.
01:26:57Good evening, Mr. Ryder.
01:26:59I hope I'm not interrupting anything.
01:27:02They say bowling is the most popular indoor sport.
01:27:05I was helping her with her coat.
01:27:07Was she crawling into it?
01:27:09Warren, don't just stand there!
01:27:11The man insulted me!
01:27:13Hit him!
01:27:14Knock him down!
01:27:15He is down.
01:27:16Then kick him!
01:27:17Let me help you.
01:27:18Warren, give him the 0-1-2!
01:27:21I would, but I have to operate
01:27:23in the morning my hands.
01:27:25Mr. Ryder, you'll have to excuse Katie
01:27:28because she's not used to champagne.
01:27:30You know who plied me with it?
01:27:32Your precious Mr. Hemenschlager.
01:27:34He called me a blackmailer.
01:27:36A blackmailer?
01:27:37Yes!
01:27:38Look, he's even stolen my other shoe!
01:27:42I think an explanation is in order, old man.
01:27:45I agree with you, young man.
01:27:47Do you think I'm a blackmailer?
01:27:49I never heard of anything so ridiculous in my life.
01:27:52I can always depend on you.
01:27:54Take me out of here.
01:27:56Oh, Katie!
01:27:57As for you, my fine-feathered Hemenschlager,
01:28:00you're very lucky my fiancé
01:28:02didn't beat you within an inch of your life.
01:28:04I know I'm not lucky, but...
01:28:06Come, darling, let's go!
01:28:08Katie!
01:28:09Well, research.
01:28:11I mean, hello.
01:28:13Marge, you better take it.
01:28:15Katie, please.
01:28:16Mr. Ryder, are you infamous today?
01:28:18Are you infamous to Dunning?
01:28:20Take the message.
01:28:21Katie!
01:28:22Mr. Ryder, he says it's urgent.
01:28:24He has to talk with you.
01:28:28Hello.
01:28:29Look, I'm very busy.
01:28:30We've got the loan.
01:28:32Yeah.
01:28:33You know what held it up?
01:28:36The bank thought we hired Lasker to watch you.
01:28:40I was beginning to think so myself.
01:28:42Katie, please!
01:28:43Katie, you've got to listen to me.
01:28:46Nothing you can say interests me.
01:28:48I'm going to marry the man I love.
01:28:50Not him.
01:28:51Him.
01:28:52I can't let you make that terrible mistake.
01:28:55See this?
01:28:56It's a gun!
01:28:57No, not a gun, madam.
01:28:59It's a tape recorder.
01:29:01Before you think of marrying this young lady,
01:29:04I'd like you to hear something, Doc.
01:29:06You didn't!
01:29:07I didn't, huh?
01:29:09What's that about here?
01:29:11It's a tape recorder.
01:29:13You may kiss me if you want to, Mr. Ryder.
01:29:16It's perfectly all right.
01:29:18First time I ever kissed an anchorman.
01:29:21Oh, Mr. Ryder.
01:29:23A little further.
01:29:25And one more thing, Mr. Ryder.
01:29:28Once a blackmailer, always a blackmailer!
01:29:31Blackmailer.
01:29:32Oh, come in, ladies.
01:29:34Just in time to hear the next chapter.
01:29:36I can explain everything, Warren.
01:29:38Really, I can.
01:29:39I can explain it all.
01:29:41I want money, real money!
01:29:43When I'm through with you,
01:29:45you'll be selling your magazines.
01:29:47Let me go!
01:29:48Very interesting, huh, Doc?
01:29:50On a street corner!
01:29:52Well, that's about the size of it.
01:29:54Sorry.
01:29:57This could never have happened in Boston.
01:30:03Uh, Katie.
01:30:05Uh, I think I'll...
01:30:07I better get on home.
01:30:09It's a little late for bowling
01:30:11and, uh, I've got a facet-hound tonsillectomy in the morning.
01:30:15Warren, you don't believe all that, uh,
01:30:19that silly nonsense, do you?
01:30:21Oh, no.
01:30:23No, of course not.
01:30:25Well, uh...
01:30:29Well, what about tomorrow evening?
01:30:32Oh, well, uh...
01:30:34Oh, I've got a meeting at the Dog Medical Center.
01:30:37But I'll, uh...
01:30:39I'll keep in touch with you, okay?
01:30:45It was bound to happen.
01:30:47I knew it as soon as I met his mother.
01:31:07There, there, Katie.
01:31:09I'm sorry, but I had to show him up for what he was.
01:31:13We'll just have to find you somebody else.
01:31:16I don't want somebody else.
01:31:18And you embarrassing me like that
01:31:21in front of those sweet old ladies.
01:31:24They thought I was some kind of a criminal.
01:31:27I'll admit I shouldn't have done it,
01:31:30but even an idiot deserves a second chance.
01:31:33I know you're not a blackmailer.
01:31:36I never believed you were.
01:31:38I couldn't fall in love with a blackmailer.
01:31:41That's the important thing.
01:31:43The important thing?
01:31:45Where are you taking me?
01:31:47Up.
01:31:48But I don't want to go up.
01:31:50I never want to see him again,
01:31:52and I never want to see you again either.
01:31:55But first, I'm gonna tell you
01:31:57what really happened that night in Florida.
01:32:00I was running away from some drunken lunatic
01:32:03who had helped up to his room.
01:32:05I came through some curtains,
01:32:07and it was dark,
01:32:09and I knocked over some furniture.
01:32:11There I was in another man's bedroom,
01:32:14and there was a man in bed.
01:32:17Your uncle, Colonel Ryder.
01:32:20I thought he was asleep.
01:32:23Well, I was in and out of there
01:32:26in about five seconds flat,
01:32:28and that must have been where I lost my earring.
01:32:33I started down the hall
01:32:35looking for a stairway
01:32:37or a freight elevator or something
01:32:40when suddenly the house detective yelled at me.
01:32:43Hey!
01:32:44Oh, I kept right on running.
01:32:46I hadn't done anything,
01:32:48but racing around a hotel
01:32:50with practically nothing on
01:32:52can give a girl a terrible guilt complex.
01:33:03Like I told you, that's all in the past.
01:33:06I never believed it for a minute.
01:33:09Stop that.
01:33:11I told you, we're through.
01:33:14Of course we're through.
01:33:16Well, so good-bye.
01:33:18Good-bye.
01:33:19I never want to see you again.
01:33:22But you'll have to, darling.
01:33:25We'll be on our honeymoon.
01:33:28You mean you're...
01:33:31asking...
01:33:33Oh, Mr. Ryder.
01:33:40Oh, Mr. Ryder.
01:33:58Oh, Mr. Ryder.
