00:02:33 Nice evening, isn't it?
00:02:35 Quite.
00:02:36 [Music]
00:02:39 [Music]
00:02:49 I'm sorry, sir. The gentlemen of the press are bothered me.
00:02:52 And quite right too. But it happens I have an appointment with Miss Addison.
00:02:55 [Music]
00:03:01 You say Miss Addison is expecting you, sir?
00:03:03 Why, certainly she expects me. What do you think I am, a gatecrasher?
00:03:06 [Music]
00:03:32 Jane dear, you look mad.
00:03:34 Well, I ought to. I've been bleaching from hairdresser to manicurist and I'm utterly agitated.
00:03:39 [Laughter]
00:03:41 Darling, you look perfectly charming.
00:03:43 Thank you.
00:03:44 [Telephone ringing]
00:03:53 Mason, have you no better use for your fingers than to be wearing our doorbells?
00:03:57 Sure, and I might better be chuckling under your pretty chin, McWhisler.
00:04:01 I'm in a hurry. What do you want?
00:04:03 A mail piece from the courier, I am, but that can wait.
00:04:06 How are you, my darling?
00:04:07 None the better for having seen your face.
00:04:10 [Door slams]
00:04:11 [Music]
00:04:17 And how's the rising young civil engineer tonight?
00:04:19 Very civil, sir. You don't want any bridges or subways built, do you?
00:04:23 No, thanks. But I don't mind telling you, Dick, if I had any more daughters to bring out,
00:04:27 you could lose me a nice braided robe right up to the forehouse.
00:04:31 [Laughter]
00:04:33 What's this I hear about you kicking a hole in the Allison Million?
00:04:35 Oh, Dad's a bit jittery. He just saw the bill for this.
00:04:38 Oh?
00:04:39 Like it?
00:04:40 Why, uh...
00:04:45 I like everything about you, only...
00:04:48 Only what?
00:04:50 Only that a face as pretty as yours doesn't need a frame.
00:04:54 Why, Dick, you're getting positively gallant.
00:04:59 Oh, thanks. I... I...
00:05:02 You know, Madge, I was just thinking...
00:05:05 Steady, steady.
00:05:06 Hello, Brenda.
00:05:07 Oh, hello.
00:05:08 Hello, Madge. Hello, Dick.
00:05:09 Oh, what are you doing so far from Greenwich Village?
00:05:12 Oh, must see how the other half lives, you know.
00:05:15 Tell 'em. Tell 'em about the scholarship you won.
00:05:17 Why, uh...
00:05:19 Same old Brenda, unfoiled by success, as democratic as ever.
00:05:23 Aren't you dancing?
00:05:24 Yes, if I can ever get rubber legs here straightened out.
00:05:28 Oh, really, my dear?
00:05:29 This baby of Madge's is the nicest one I've been to this season.
00:05:32 If you ask me, it's a waste of time.
00:05:34 Yeah, you know perfectly well it's to give her an opportunity to meet some really eligible young men.
00:05:39 She's known the best one of the lot for years if she only had sense enough to accept him.
00:05:42 Am I right?
00:05:43 Well, it would be a brilliant marriage, wouldn't it?
00:05:45 You know, I hate women who talk about their sons.
00:05:48 But Richard really has a lot to recommend him.
00:05:50 Including his mother.
00:05:52 Oh, thank you.
00:05:55 Uh, Madge?
00:05:56 Yes?
00:05:57 I...I see the proposal coming off.
00:05:59 What, again?
00:06:01 You'd better watch out. First thing you know, you won't be able to stop.
00:06:04 Oh, there's only my first one today.
00:06:06 Oh, tapering off, eh?
00:06:07 If I could ever want it.
00:06:09 What do you say, Madge, shall we?
00:06:11 Oh, you were much better on Thursday.
00:06:14 Huh?
00:06:15 You, uh...you had a little more quaver in your voice.
00:06:18 You know, like a cello.
00:06:20 Well, I'll admit I'm no ball of fire, but...
00:06:23 But I have good prospects.
00:06:25 I'm steady, reliable, fairly well-off.
00:06:28 Or will be.
00:06:29 And I'm terribly fond of you.
00:06:32 I know you are, Dick.
00:06:33 But that isn't enough.
00:06:34 Isn't enough what?
00:06:36 Isn't enough romance and color.
00:06:39 What it takes to sweep them off their feet.
00:06:43 The man I marry must...must do things.
00:06:46 Well, I guess you've never built a tri-span cantilever bridge in the wintertime when there's...
00:06:49 No, and I've never built a skyscraper either.
00:06:51 But I have built castles in the air with drawbridges.
00:06:54 And over the bridge rides a knight in armor.
00:06:57 Sometimes looks like you.
00:06:59 Yeah?
00:07:02 So help me, Hannah, he never acts like you.
00:07:07 Sorry.
00:07:10 I'm sorry too, Dick.
00:07:12 'Cause I am fond of you.
00:07:15 You don't mind if I keep posing once in a while, do you?
00:07:17 Certainly not.
00:07:18 As often as you like.
00:07:21 Come on, Dick, let's dance.
00:07:29 Hi, Gary.
00:07:30 Oh, Dave, hurry up with that yarn of yours.
00:07:33 What yarn?
00:07:35 On the Allison reception, of course.
00:07:37 You got it, didn't you?
00:07:38 Oh, that.
00:07:39 Oh, sure I got it.
00:07:40 What there was of it.
00:07:42 Say, why don't you give me some decent assignments?
00:07:44 Let Sally here handle this pipe.
00:07:46 You know perfectly well that...
00:07:47 Oh, I know, I know.
00:07:48 You used to be a big shot war correspondent.
00:07:50 Meanwhile, you confer a great favor on our paper
00:07:53 by parking that globe-trotting carcass of yours
00:07:56 at yarn typewriter
00:07:57 and knocking out about three sticks on the Allison reception.
00:08:17 That's quite all right, Miss Patrick.
00:08:19 Thank you.
00:08:30 Go ahead.
00:08:31 Use it.
00:08:38 Say, you weren't at the reception.
00:08:39 Where'd you get this list of guests?
00:08:41 From the social register.
00:08:42 Mostly guest work, of course.
00:08:44 Put two and two together and make 400, my pal.
00:08:46 Sally, if you could only cook.
00:08:48 You couldn't get in.
00:08:49 Say, did you ever try to get past an English butler?
00:08:51 A real English butler, I mean.
00:08:53 I thought you had a way with women.
00:08:54 Why didn't you try one of the maids?
00:08:56 What?
00:08:57 Why, darling, you know I never look at another woman but you.
00:08:59 Much.
00:09:03 I tell you, you call me tomorrow if you feel like a game of golf.
00:09:06 Great.
00:09:07 You know, I've been so busy of late,
00:09:08 I wouldn't know what a golf club looks like.
00:09:10 Well, good night.
00:09:11 Good night.
00:09:14 Good night.
00:09:15 Good night.
00:09:16 Good night.
00:09:17 Good night.
00:09:19 Oh, it's been marvelous.
00:09:20 Mm-hmm.
00:09:21 Had a good time, dear?
00:09:22 Oh, the grandest time of my life.
00:09:24 I don't know how I'm going to thank you, dear darling.
00:09:26 I know an awfully nice present you could give me.
00:09:28 What's that?
00:09:29 Son-in-law.
00:09:31 You couldn't mean Dick.
00:09:32 [silence]
00:09:48 Is this the residence of Monsieur and Madame Allison?
00:09:52 Yes, ma'am.
00:09:53 But the party is over.
00:09:54 All the guests have gone.
00:09:56 A skeleton at a feast may arrive when he chooses.
00:10:00 I beg your pardon, ma'am.
00:10:02 Will you tell them that Madame Duval is here?
00:10:06 From Saint-Lazare.
00:10:08 Very good, ma'am.
00:10:17 Madame Duval, Monsieur.
00:10:19 Duval?
00:10:21 We don't know anyone of that name, do we, dear?
00:10:24 No.
00:10:25 The lady said she came from Saint-Lazare.
00:10:34 Why, Dad.
00:10:36 Mother.
00:10:37 What is it?
00:10:38 Oh, it's nothing.
00:10:39 Nothing, dear.
00:10:41 Good evening.
00:10:44 You'll pardon my disturbing you at such a lay-down, no?
00:10:47 Of course.
00:10:49 Oh!
00:10:50 This is the daughter.
00:10:52 Oh, you are very like your mother.
00:10:56 Yes, very like her.
00:10:58 Couldn't we perform this conference until some other time?
00:11:02 She must know some time.
00:11:05 I must know what?
00:11:07 Simply this, my dear.
00:11:08 Please.
00:11:09 If she must know, I'll be the one to tell her.
00:11:14 Match, my dear.
00:11:16 Yes, Mother.
00:11:21 That's just it.
00:11:24 I'm not your mother.
00:11:28 Not my mother.
00:11:31 But I don't understand.
00:11:33 It's true, Match.
00:11:36 You see, your mother and I share the same cell at Saint-Lazare.
00:11:42 You knew, Madame, that Justine had died last year in prison.
00:11:46 Yes, I know.
00:11:49 She was your mother's sister.
00:11:52 They adopted you when your mother was sentenced to life imprisonment.
00:11:57 My mother?
00:11:59 Life imprisonment?
00:12:01 For complicity.
00:12:03 How you say, uh...
00:12:06 For, uh, accessory to the murder of her husband?
00:12:10 You see, she was surprised by her husband.
00:12:13 There were high words.
00:12:15 The other man had an eye, then...
00:12:16 No.
00:12:17 No.
00:12:18 Oh, but I have the proof.
00:12:21 You see, the adoption paper signed by this lady and gentleman.
00:12:26 Some photograph, drinkless, and the ring.
00:12:37 You needn't have been so brutal about it.
00:12:39 Surely you might have spared a sensitive girl's feelings.
00:12:44 When one has lived for 20 years in a steel cage,
00:12:49 one forgets there are such things as feelings.
00:12:51 No matter how much you suffered,
00:12:54 was it necessary for you to come here
00:12:56 and revenge yourself on an innocent girl who has never harmed you?
00:12:59 Revenge?
00:13:01 Why, I do not understand.
00:13:03 I came here as a friend, do you see?
00:13:05 I am a stranger without fans.
00:13:07 You are the only people of whom I knew, to whom I could turn.
00:13:12 Go on.
00:13:13 Well, I said to myself,
00:13:15 "Sir, I shall go to those so very kind elephants.
00:13:20 "If they cannot help me, I must earn my own living.
00:13:25 "I shall become a writer," I said to myself.
00:13:28 "Maybe some big newspaper might be interested in my,
00:13:32 "what do you say, reminiscences of Saint Lazare."
00:13:36 Of course, it makes me very sad
00:13:40 when I remind myself of those unhappy years,
00:13:44 to recall those faces, names and histories
00:13:48 of those poor unfortunates whom I knew so well.
00:13:53 Still, I said to myself,
00:13:56 "Newspapers pay very well for such stories.
00:14:00 "One must live.
00:14:02 "Don't you think so?"
00:14:05 (crickets chirping)
00:14:07 How much?
00:14:17 Oh, you Americans are very understanding.
00:14:22 You are very generous.
00:14:24 Very, very kind.
00:14:27 How much?
00:14:29 Well, you see, your bags are so inquisitive
00:14:32 when one presents a cheque.
00:14:34 Perhaps cash would be better, no?
00:14:37 As you wish.
00:14:39 Good.
00:14:40 I will be at your office tomorrow morning.
00:14:43 Well, uh, bonsoir, madame, monsieur.
00:14:47 Thank you very much.
00:14:49 It's been a great pleasure.
00:14:51 I'm sure.
00:14:53 (footsteps)
00:14:56 (footsteps)
00:15:23 But darling, nothing's going to happen.
00:15:25 No one will ever know.
00:15:27 Everything's being taken care of by Rodney.
00:15:30 If a skeleton can get out of a closet once,
00:15:35 it can do it again.
00:15:36 Well, at least we can keep the closet closed until...
00:15:39 What I mean to say is, dear,
00:15:41 after you're married,
00:15:43 what people say isn't quite so important.
00:15:46 You mean not tell Dick about what happened last night?
00:15:50 Why, I... I couldn't marry him or anyone else
00:15:53 with that hanging over my head, could I?
00:15:56 This sounds as though I were encouraging you to be deceitful.
00:16:02 But you've everything to gain
00:16:04 and nothing to lose by keeping quiet.
00:16:06 It's you he loves.
00:16:08 The girl he knows as Madge Allison.
00:16:11 That's just why I couldn't play a shabby trick like that on him.
00:16:15 (footsteps)
00:16:16 Yes?
00:16:19 Mr. Taylor is downstairs, miss.
00:16:21 Tell him Miss Allison will be right down.
00:16:24 But I don't want to see him.
00:16:26 Do be sensible, Madge, dear.
00:16:27 Don't you understand?
00:16:28 What happened in the past to my sister
00:16:29 needn't affect you and Dick.
00:16:31 All right.
00:16:34 Hello!
00:16:43 Sorry to have kept you waiting.
00:16:45 Oh, you've been doing that for years.
00:16:47 Say, Madge, you know they won't let you in on the greens and those high heels.
00:16:50 I'm not going.
00:16:51 But darling, last night you said...
00:16:53 I know, but I've gone off my game.
00:16:55 Overnight?
00:16:56 Yes.
00:16:57 How about some tennis, then?
00:16:59 No, I... I don't feel very well, Dick.
00:17:02 As a matter of fact, you don't look very well.
00:17:04 Tired?
00:17:06 Sort of.
00:17:07 I've got it.
00:17:08 How about a nice restful weekend aboard the...
00:17:10 It's evening, it's head off, doing nothing.
00:17:12 We'll take your mother with us.
00:17:13 My mother?
00:17:14 Yes.
00:17:15 No, no, it's impossible, Dick.
00:17:18 What's got into you, Madge?
00:17:19 You used to be keen on golf and tennis.
00:17:21 I thought you liked yachting, too.
00:17:23 Oh, I'd be such rotten company for anyone.
00:17:26 Okay.
00:17:28 Some other time, then.
00:17:29 Rain check?
00:17:30 Perhaps.
00:17:31 We'll see.
00:17:32 Goodbye.
00:17:33 [Music]
00:18:00 [Crying]
00:18:23 Well, my dear, all I can say is if you don't approve of her going out so much and so late,
00:18:28 oh, why don't you speak to her about it?
00:18:30 But what can I say to her?
00:18:31 After all, she's of age.
00:18:33 We'll be of a suggestion in a nice way that she bring her friends here,
00:18:35 so that we can meet them.
00:18:37 Don't you see how difficult it is to say that?
00:18:40 It sounds like a parent who insists on first-passing approval on her daughter's young man.
00:18:46 We've no longer that right.
00:18:48 Ordinarily, I shouldn't worry about Madge.
00:18:51 But lately, she's been so... how shall I say it?
00:18:53 So feverishly active that...
00:18:56 It's almost funny.
00:18:57 A month ago, we were worried because she was despondent and didn't go out enough.
00:19:00 Now we're worried because she goes out too much.
00:19:03 Personally, I'd rather she stayed at recluse than getting about the way she's been doing.
00:19:07 Oh.
00:19:08 [Music]
00:19:20 There it is.
00:19:21 [Music]
00:19:25 Not good, but loud.
00:19:26 It must be Gerard's Greenwich Village talent, darling.
00:19:28 They're very sensitive.
00:19:30 Gee, me?
00:19:31 Not a scoff and a call.
00:19:33 [Music]
00:19:41 Don't mention Mendelsohn to me.
00:19:43 He stole my friend.
00:19:44 Where does she get off by the no-passion?
00:19:47 Of course, she doesn't know the first thing about the intercourse.
00:19:50 The trouble with him is, when he paints a tree, it looks like a tree.
00:19:54 I love to see my picture.
00:19:56 So I went.
00:19:57 How did I know that it was a picture?
00:20:00 Well, here's to you.
00:20:02 [Music]
00:20:08 What is it, liquid razor blade?
00:20:10 It's called Oonga-Pay.
00:20:12 I got the recipe from a melee pirate.
00:20:14 Well, for the love of Mike, give it back to him.
00:20:16 You never told me you'd been in a melee in Archipelago, Gary.
00:20:20 Hiya, kid.
00:20:22 I tell you, it's like this.
00:20:23 When I'm with you, darling, I can't even say Archipelago.
00:20:26 Hello, Brenda.
00:20:27 How's everything on Park Avenue?
00:20:29 Oh, swell.
00:20:30 I brought some of the brisket.
00:20:31 Miss Allison, Mr. Hatcher.
00:20:33 How are you doing?
00:20:34 How are you doing?
00:20:35 Mr. Dane.
00:20:36 Oh.
00:20:37 [Music]
00:20:42 Welcome to our slum.
00:20:44 What a very nice slum.
00:20:46 [Music]
00:20:49 Cheap little gadget, that.
00:20:52 What is it, Miss African 1936?
00:20:54 That?
00:20:55 That's an African witch doctor's headdress.
00:20:58 Quite a story attached to it.
00:21:00 It may sound silly, but I wore that thing escaping from a Swahili stocking.
00:21:04 Good head.
00:21:05 No, good disguise.
00:21:09 You should tell me more about yourself.
00:21:10 You sound marvelous.
00:21:11 What do you mean, sound marvelous?
00:21:12 I am marvelous.
00:21:14 [Laughter]
00:21:17 Miss, I don't think I caught your name.
00:21:20 Allison, but I thought you knew me.
00:21:23 You told our butler you did.
00:21:26 Say, you're not mad, Allison, are you?
00:21:28 Don't you remember?
00:21:29 You had an appointment with me.
00:21:31 By the way, whatever happened to you?
00:21:33 We won't go into that.
00:21:36 I'll say this much.
00:21:37 I'm a better host than you are.
00:21:38 When I go to a party at your house, you have me chuck...
00:21:40 That's probably because you tried to bash my party, and I was invited to yours.
00:21:45 Maybe it's on account of I can't afford to hire an imported flunky to slam the door in your face.
00:21:51 Let me see.
00:21:53 I think a face like yours would take about a number seven door, or maybe even a six A.
00:22:00 Next time I'll be sure to let you in.
00:22:04 That is, if you still want to come in.
00:22:06 What do you mean, if?
00:22:08 I'll be there tomorrow.
00:22:09 [Music]
00:22:25 Thank you.
00:22:31 Where should we go?
00:22:32 Anywhere. You're plenty scenery for me, baby.
00:22:43 You work fast, don't you?
00:22:44 Well, if I didn't, somebody else might grab you off.
00:22:47 I thought newspaper men asked questions.
00:22:50 You seem to know all the answers.
00:22:51 Maybe I'm a good reporter.
00:22:53 And that's the trouble with being a good reporter.
00:22:55 You can't give the girls a play.
00:22:57 Tough on them, too.
00:23:00 He should have only one love, his paper.
00:23:05 Oh, I never said I was a good reporter.
00:23:09 And I never said I wanted to be your second love, or your first.
00:23:13 Oh, well, in that case, I guess I just better be a good reporter.
00:23:18 Seriously, what is a good reporter?
00:23:21 A guy who can smell out a story and print it, regardless of everything.
00:23:26 Everything?
00:23:28 Well, nearly everything, yes.
00:23:30 And nearly everything I've ever done has been routine.
00:23:32 Exciting, dangerous, perhaps, but routine.
00:23:35 You've done one thing I'll never be able to do.
00:23:37 What's that?
00:23:38 Eat with those.
00:23:39 The Chinese say food tastes better this way.
00:23:41 It's really very easy, look.
00:23:49 Like this?
00:23:50 Not quite.
00:23:53 Let me show you.
00:24:02 There you are.
00:24:07 Never mind, I'll stick to my fork.
00:24:11 And you'd better stick to your globetrotter.
00:24:13 All right.
00:24:14 Tell me, where else have you been?
00:24:16 All Ethiopia, the Rift Country, Vienna during the riots.
00:24:20 Siberia, Manchukuo, every place I've wanted to go, everything I've wanted to do, but one.
00:24:25 What's that?
00:24:26 Hop a tramp and spend a year in the South Sea.
00:24:28 Well, not the tourist spots, but places like Bora Bora, Tonga, Rarotonga,
00:24:33 little coral islands that white men have never spoiled.
00:24:36 Blue lagoons, gleaming white beaches, and cocoa palms waving lazily in the breeze.
00:24:42 Oh, it sounds lovely.
00:24:44 It is lovely, but you'd hate it.
00:24:47 Why?
00:24:48 The grandest scenery in the world, but between stops, they're jouncing up and down,
00:24:52 cooped up on an evil-smelling tramp, and as for the grub, oh.
00:24:56 Oh, it'll be fun.
00:25:17 Well, it may be romantic, but it's no picnic for a woman,
00:25:20 especially if she has Park Avenue in her blood.
00:25:22 Oh, I'd love it.
00:25:23 Yes, you would.
00:25:24 Anybody else, maybe, but not the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Rodney Allison.
00:25:31 What's the matter?
00:25:32 Nothing, I'm going home.
00:25:34 I'll drop you on the way.
00:25:39 Hello, dear.
00:25:40 Hello, there.
00:25:41 Hello.
00:25:44 You're just in time for tea.
00:25:47 No, thanks, I don't care for any tea.
00:25:49 Oh, what's the matter?
00:25:50 Got off your feet?
00:25:51 I do wish you wouldn't use those expressions, Rodney.
00:25:54 Oh, no, that isn't the whole.
00:25:57 This is the richest tailor.
00:26:02 May I?
00:26:03 Of course, you are always welcome.
00:26:05 You know that.
00:26:06 Why, Dick, you haven't been here for ages.
00:26:08 Well, not through one but trying, I assure you.
00:26:12 I just dropped in to ask if you'd care to come to the concert tonight.
00:26:15 They're doing dealio.
00:26:16 Oh, that's awfully sweet of you, Dick.
00:26:18 I'm all in.
00:26:20 I've been shopping all day.
00:26:23 Oh.
00:26:25 Bargain hunting?
00:26:26 Yes.
00:26:27 I've barely been off my feet since breakfast.
00:26:31 Oh, I'm sorry.
00:26:32 Some other time, perhaps.
00:26:34 Well, I must be off.
00:26:36 Dick, have some tea.
00:26:37 Oh, I'm sorry I can't.
00:26:38 I promised to drop Mother to coffee.
00:26:39 Oh, I'll see you to the door.
00:26:41 I've got some work to do in the study.
00:26:47 Madge, dear.
00:26:48 Yes?
00:26:49 I do wish you'd be a little nicer today.
00:26:51 After all, you've known each other for a good many years.
00:26:54 I've known lots of people for a good many years.
00:26:57 But that doesn't mean I have to go leaping out with them every time they ask me.
00:27:01 Well, you go leaping out, as you put it, with a man you've barely met.
00:27:04 A man about whom we know nothing.
00:27:07 I know this much.
00:27:08 He's got color and glamor.
00:27:11 He's been places.
00:27:12 And he's done things.
00:27:15 He's evidently done things to you.
00:27:17 You sound as if you were in love with him.
00:27:19 Suppose I am in love with him.
00:27:21 Suppose I marry him.
00:27:23 Suppose I don't.
00:27:24 Madge, you mustn't say things like that.
00:27:26 I'll say what I please.
00:27:28 And I'll do what I please.
00:27:31 What business is it of yours?
00:27:33 You're not my mother.
00:27:36 Oh, Madge.
00:27:41 Oh, I'm sorry.
00:27:43 Truly I am.
00:27:44 I didn't mean it.
00:27:47 It's all right, dear.
00:27:49 I understand.
00:27:50 [The door closes.]
00:28:14 [The door opens.]
00:28:27 And you didn't try to cut me off by saying that thing.
00:28:29 Honey, I tell you I've been on an assignment all afternoon.
00:28:32 I give you my word.
00:28:33 Your word.
00:28:34 It's not worth the paper it's written on.
00:28:36 What do you take me for, anyway?
00:28:37 A very sweet kid.
00:28:38 Honey, I'm crazy about you.
00:28:40 I've heard that before.
00:28:42 Well, I mean it.
00:28:44 And someday, honey, I'll prove it.
00:28:47 We'll hop a tramp and spend a year in the South Seas.
00:28:49 Bora Bora, Tonga, Caratonga, little Coral Islands.
00:28:53 That white men have never spoiled.
00:28:55 I've heard that before, too.
00:29:02 If you think you can two-time me with that uptown Allison dame,
00:29:05 you're mighty much mistaken, and don't forget it.
00:29:07 But, honey, I never two-timed you in my life.
00:29:09 Liar.
00:29:10 You've been chasing her for weeks and giving me the runaround.
00:29:12 I'm not an idiot.
00:29:13 I'm a newspaper woman.
00:29:14 And a very good one, too.
00:29:16 Shut up.
00:29:17 You've stepped on a line just once too often,
00:29:19 and I'm not going to take it sitting down.
00:29:21 See?
00:29:23 Hey, wait a minute.
00:29:24 What are you going to do?
00:29:25 I'm not going to tell you.
00:29:54 Well, this is a surprise.
00:30:08 Oh, Gary, I'm so miserable.
00:30:12 What's the matter, honey?
00:30:13 Don't talk.
00:30:14 Just hold me tight.
00:30:16 It's a pleasure.
00:30:25 I'm sorry.
00:30:26 Oh, don't stop on my account.
00:30:28 It isn't very often I get a chance to hold a park after--
00:30:30 Oh, don't you look that way.
00:30:32 I'm not.
00:30:39 What is it, Mads?
00:30:40 Gary, do you love me?
00:30:41 Why, of course I do, honey.
00:30:43 The real me, I mean.
00:30:45 What is this, 20 questions?
00:30:46 I'm not playing a game.
00:30:47 I'm serious.
00:30:48 OK.
00:30:49 I know a better game.
00:30:50 One question.
00:30:51 Will you marry me?
00:30:52 I'm serious, too.
00:30:54 Gary, there's something I must tell you.
00:30:56 My father died in a French prison.
00:30:58 What?
00:30:59 I'm only the adopted daughter of the Ellison's.
00:31:00 My real mother was convicted of murder.
00:31:03 Now that I've told you that, do you still want to marry me?
00:31:06 Why, yes, I think I do.
00:31:08 In fact, I know I do.
00:31:09 Oh, Gary, never let me go.
00:31:10 Never.
00:31:11 Oh, you poor kid.
00:31:12 Now, listen.
00:31:13 I guess I'd better put my cards on the table, too.
00:31:15 I warn you, I'm no bargain.
00:31:17 I've knocked around a lot and done considerable chasing.
00:31:19 Oh, let's not talk about the past.
00:31:20 Oh, everybody knows what I've been.
00:31:22 My past is no secret as yours is.
00:31:24 Gary, I haven't told anyone about this but you.
00:31:27 Not even Dick.
00:31:28 Dick who?
00:31:29 Dick Taylor, an old friend.
00:31:31 The family would like me to marry him.
00:31:33 Oh, but you're not having any.
00:31:35 Is that it?
00:31:36 Why, I am.
00:31:38 What do you think?
00:31:41 [singing]
00:31:50 Hi, Sally.
00:31:52 Double whiskey for a single lady.
00:31:54 Coming right up.
00:31:55 How's the world been reading you?
00:31:56 Rotten, thanks.
00:31:58 [singing]
00:32:02 [singing]
00:32:12 I always thought Jenny Lynn was Swedish.
00:32:14 That one can slob it up in any language.
00:32:16 The only one she doesn't know is Finnish.
00:32:18 [singing]
00:32:21 [laughing]
00:32:27 Hey.
00:32:29 Garçon.
00:32:33 Another round of drink for my dear public.
00:32:37 And then after that, I shall reward them with another song.
00:32:42 Don't you think they've had enough?
00:32:44 Say, today is the farewell of Yvette Duval.
00:32:50 Tonight, she sails for La Belle France.
00:33:00 Hey, take it easy, sister.
00:33:01 Hundred dollar bills don't grow on trees.
00:33:04 But they do, my friend.
00:33:06 They do.
00:33:10 Family tree.
00:33:14 Oh, this is very funny.
00:33:16 Oh, Monsieur Allison would enjoy that.
00:33:20 [laughing]
00:33:25 Oh.
00:33:26 Oh.
00:33:28 I make such funny jokes.
00:33:31 Another brandy.
00:33:32 Napoleon brandy.
00:33:34 I wouldn't have you.
00:33:37 Say.
00:33:39 If I want your advice, I ask for it.
00:34:05 Who's your friend?
00:34:06 Search me, but boy, what a roll.
00:34:08 You don't suppose she's over here to pay the war debts?
00:34:10 Fat chance.
00:34:11 A month ago, she was buying beer.
00:34:13 And now, hundred dollar bills.
00:34:15 She must know where the body's buried.
00:34:18 [sizzling]
00:34:39 Courier, give me the morgue.
00:34:46 Oh, I'm sorry.
00:34:47 Sally Patrick.
00:34:48 See if you've got anything on a woman named Yvette Duval.
00:34:52 Duval.
00:34:54 Yeah.
00:34:55 I'll wait.
00:34:57 [humming]
00:35:04 What?
00:35:05 Nothing, eh?
00:35:07 Thanks.
00:35:08 Oh, no, no.
00:35:10 [humming]
00:35:20 Come on, Billy.
00:35:21 Up you get now.
00:35:22 How's Megan like?
00:35:23 Call a taxi somewhere.
00:35:24 I'll get one.
00:35:25 Do you know where she lives?
00:35:26 I don't know.
00:35:27 Hey.
00:35:28 I'll take her with me.
00:35:29 Come on.
00:35:30 Say, why don't you dump her in a cab and just let her--
00:35:32 Could that role be yourself?
00:35:33 You know what those taxi pirates are.
00:35:34 Come on.
00:35:35 All right, give me a hand here.
00:35:36 [humming]
00:35:46 [humming]
00:36:06 [humming]
00:36:16 [humming]
00:36:26 [humming]
00:36:36 [sigh]
00:36:38 Oh.
00:36:42 Oh, my poor head.
00:36:46 How do you feel?
00:36:54 What am I?
00:36:57 Who are you?
00:36:59 Don't you remember what happened at the cocktail bar?
00:37:04 Oh, another thing.
00:37:06 This is my apartment.
00:37:08 I brought you here when you got a bit merry.
00:37:10 You know, talkative.
00:37:15 Did I, uh, what you say, talk too much?
00:37:20 You were charming.
00:37:22 Told us all about going back to France.
00:37:28 My ticket.
00:37:29 My bag.
00:37:30 I've been robbed.
00:37:33 Here you are.
00:37:35 Safe and sound.
00:37:37 Ah.
00:37:38 You are very kind, mademoiselle.
00:37:41 Skip it.
00:37:43 I can help you a lot more if you play ball with me.
00:37:48 Play ball?
00:37:49 [laughing]
00:37:52 What is that?
00:37:53 Just a good old American custom.
00:37:55 You help me, and I'll help you.
00:38:00 I want to know what you've got on the Allison.
00:38:05 The Allison?
00:38:08 I never heard of them.
00:38:10 They are total strangers to me.
00:38:14 Total strangers don't pay out thousands of dollars for nothing.
00:38:19 Especially to ex-convicts.
00:38:23 Why, I don't know what you are talking about.
00:38:27 Oh, you don't, eh?
00:38:28 No, I don't.
00:38:29 I can tell you something else you don't know.
00:38:31 What?
00:38:33 Where your money is.
00:38:36 My money?
00:38:43 Now, don't get excited.
00:38:45 It's quite safe.
00:38:46 Well, give it to me.
00:38:48 Sure.
00:38:49 Just as soon as you give me the lowdown on the Allison.
00:38:53 I told you I don't know what you are talking about.
00:38:57 Okay.
00:39:02 Hey.
00:39:04 Where are you going?
00:39:05 To the police, of course.
00:39:07 Good.
00:39:08 I'm going with you.
00:39:10 They'll make you give it back to me.
00:39:13 Sure.
00:39:14 Your words are as good as mine.
00:39:16 Maybe better.
00:39:17 I'm only an honest newspaper gal.
00:39:20 You're an ex-convict on parole.
00:39:27 You will tell them who I am?
00:39:29 Naturally.
00:39:31 Come in.
00:39:32 Wait.
00:39:37 You will not reveal my identity to anyone?
00:39:40 Of course not.
00:39:45 And not publish a story until the boat she sails?
00:39:48 Absolutely.
00:39:51 Promise?
00:39:53 Say, what do you take me for, a double-crosser?
00:39:56 Oh, no.
00:39:57 No.
00:39:58 Of course not.
00:39:59 Okay.
00:40:02 Now come on with the story.
00:40:06 [The boat sails away.]
00:40:33 Oh, come on, be a good fellow, will you?
00:40:35 I only want to ask her a few questions.
00:40:36 Oh, wants a couple of pictures.
00:40:37 We'll take some of you, too.
00:40:38 Tell him I'm from the news.
00:40:39 My editor said.
00:40:40 Just a minute, please.
00:40:42 Are all you gentlemen of the press?
00:40:44 Of course we are.
00:40:46 You're not what I'd call gentlemen.
00:40:50 Oh, come on, let's go.
00:40:56 You're quite sure you haven't said anything to anybody?
00:40:59 No, I haven't.
00:41:00 Then how did it get in there?
00:41:02 There must have been a leak somewhere.
00:41:04 You don't suppose that woman--
00:41:05 She wouldn't dare.
00:41:06 Good morning.
00:41:08 Breakfast ready?
00:41:11 Madge, you haven't been talking to any of our friends, have you, about that Duval woman's visit?
00:41:17 Why, uh, of course not.
00:41:20 Why?
00:41:33 Come in.
00:41:40 Oh, good morning.
00:41:41 Good morning.
00:41:47 It's a nice story, kid.
00:41:48 Thanks, glad you like it.
00:41:49 You know what else I'd like?
00:41:51 What's that?
00:41:52 To give you a good swift punch in the nose.
00:41:55 Oh, I wouldn't do that.
00:41:57 I need it to smell our dirty linen.
00:41:59 Exhibit A.
00:42:00 You think you're funny, don't you?
00:42:01 Well, it's not so funny taking a decent girl's name and kicking it around in the gutter.
00:42:04 Listen, Luno, you two-time me once too often.
00:42:07 I said I'd get even.
00:42:08 I have.
00:42:09 Well, you don't think you've queered me with Madge, do you?
00:42:11 Why, all I've got to do is call her up and square myself.
00:42:13 Like that.
00:42:14 There's the phone.
00:42:15 Use it.
00:42:16 I wouldn't even talk to a decent girl on that same phone that you've used.
00:42:19 I'll use a pay phone.
00:42:21 You better save your nickel, Sonny.
00:42:22 She's going to be after you for a long, long time.
00:42:34 Mr. Taylor is calling.
00:42:37 I don't want to see him.
00:42:40 I don't want to see anybody.
00:42:42 Miss.
00:42:43 Tell him I'm out.
00:42:50 It's not from old friends, surely?
00:42:57 Evidently, you didn't see today's paper.
00:43:00 That's why I'm here.
00:43:02 The Dane person is calling again, Miss.
00:43:04 Tell him I'm still out.
00:43:06 Very well, Miss.
00:43:14 Be out to everyone else, Madge, if you want to.
00:43:17 But never be out to me.
00:43:19 Even after what's happened?
00:43:21 Nothing's happened.
00:43:22 You're still the same, Madge, as far as I'm concerned.
00:43:25 I'm afraid to trust anybody.
00:43:27 Old Dick to think he'd do such a thing.
00:43:30 Who?
00:43:31 Who do what?
00:43:32 Gary Dane, the fellow who just phoned.
00:43:34 He's a reporter.
00:43:37 I told him all about me.
00:43:39 You told a reporter?
00:43:41 Mm-hmm.
00:43:43 Because I loved him.
00:43:44 Oh, I thought I did.
00:43:46 I confided in him, and then he let me down like this.
00:43:51 I don't care who let you down, as long as I'm here to catch him.
00:43:55 Why can't people play on the square?
00:43:58 Why aren't they on the level?
00:44:00 Very few men are, Madge.
00:44:01 Well, you are.
00:44:03 Oh, Dick, what an idiot I've been.
00:44:06 Believe me, I've learned a lesson.
00:44:08 Never again, no more.
00:44:09 No more-- no more what?
00:44:11 No more romantic Romeos.
00:44:13 Give me a nice, substantial person.
00:44:16 I don't care if he's humbly--
00:44:17 Wait a minute.
00:44:18 If there's any proposing to be done, I'll do it.
00:44:21 Of course, I may be a bit out of practice.
00:44:23 It's been so long since I've asked you.
00:44:25 Darling.
00:44:26 Where will we live?
00:44:32 We'll see now.
00:44:34 The firm's just finished a subway.
00:44:36 Maybe they'd rent us one at the station.
00:44:38 Oh, much too romantic.
00:44:39 Well, how about a-- how about a nice bridge?
00:44:42 I know one that's got a self-contained tool shed
00:44:44 and a grand view of the river.
00:44:46 Sold.
00:44:47 And I'll climb to the top, and I'll shout to the world
00:44:49 that I'm Mrs. Richard G. Taylor III.
00:44:52 You stay in your tool shed.
00:44:53 I'll do the shouting for both of us.
00:45:01 And you know what I'm going to do tomorrow morning?
00:45:03 No, what?
00:45:04 I'm going to take you down to the fanciest jewelers in town
00:45:06 and buy you the fanciest engagement ring you've ever worn.
00:45:09 Oh, that's easy.
00:45:10 It'll be the first one I've ever worn or ever will wear.
00:45:13 And you know what I'm going to do now?
00:45:14 Now?
00:45:15 I'm going straight home.
00:45:17 And I'm going to tell Mother I'm engaged to the swellest,
00:45:20 prettiest, loveliest, finest kid I know.
00:45:23 I've wanted to marry her for years.
00:45:26 And now I'm going to do it.
00:45:28 I've already phoned the announcement of the evening paper.
00:45:31 In that case, there's nothing left for me to say
00:45:34 except I wish you luck.
00:45:35 Now you're talking.
00:45:37 As a matter of fact, I was bit out while you picked the good news after--
00:45:41 well, you know what I mean.
00:45:44 How else would you expect a mother to act when her son tells her
00:45:46 he's going to marry a girl I--
00:45:49 After all, it's your happiness that counts.
00:45:53 My son's happiness.
00:45:55 And my son's future.
00:45:57 That's all I'm concerned with.
00:46:00 If you go through with this marriage, my dear,
00:46:03 you'll be making things difficult.
00:46:05 Making things difficult?
00:46:07 But I--I don't understand.
00:46:10 My husband left his entire fortune to me.
00:46:12 Now you couldn't expect me to leave it to my son
00:46:14 if he marries against my wishes.
00:46:16 Now could you?
00:46:17 But I'm not marrying Dick for his money.
00:46:20 I'm marrying him because I think he's the finest person I've ever known.
00:46:25 I love your son, Mrs. Taylor.
00:46:27 And I'll do anything to make him happy.
00:46:30 Or to help.
00:46:31 Have you thought of his career, what would happen to it,
00:46:33 married to the daughter of a--of Justina Lamont?
00:46:37 His friends snubbing him, his professional associates
00:46:40 sneering at him behind his back,
00:46:42 losing contract after contract because every decent home
00:46:45 and club in town would be closed to him.
00:46:47 Is that how you'd help him with his career?
00:46:49 But I--
00:46:50 A moment ago you said you'd do anything to help him,
00:46:52 to make him happy.
00:46:54 Why, yes, I--I did.
00:46:56 Very well, then.
00:46:58 Give him up.
00:46:59 And if I don't, then what?
00:47:04 Well, you wish you had.
00:47:09 Both of you.
00:47:11 That's all.
00:47:13 [rain falling]
00:47:16 [rain continues]
00:47:19 [rain continues]
00:47:22 [rain continues]

00:47:58 [rain continues]
00:48:03 [rain continues]
00:48:06 What are you doing here?
00:48:09 I've been trying to get you on the phone all day.
00:48:11 I wanted you to know that I didn't spill that story.
00:48:13 What?
00:48:14 One of the bunch at the office stumbled on the yarn.
00:48:16 I didn't know a thing about it, Madge, and that's the honest truth.
00:48:18 I sort of figured I was in a doghouse,
00:48:20 judging by the way you were ducking my phone calls.
00:48:23 I'm sorry.
00:48:25 I see by tonight's papers you're engaged to the old sweetheart.
00:48:29 Mm-hmm.
00:48:30 Well, good luck and all that sort of thing.
00:48:33 Thanks, Gary.
00:48:35 Well, that's all, I guess.
00:48:37 I just didn't want you to think ill of me after I'd gone.
00:48:40 Gone? Where?
00:48:42 Boy, am I smart.
00:48:44 I promoted a job writing publicity for a line of freighters.
00:48:46 You know, cabin boats, only three or four passengers.
00:48:49 Oh, you're going then.
00:48:51 And what a trip. Free passage.
00:48:53 Tahiti, Bali, French Indochina.
00:48:56 Every place I've ever wanted to see.
00:48:58 And they don't know it yet.
00:49:00 But if I find some place I like, little Gary's gonna jump ship.
00:49:03 Let him whistle for their publicity.
00:49:05 I'm gonna find me a coral island with swaying palm trees
00:49:08 and just lie there and dream.
00:49:10 A million miles from anywhere.
00:49:12 No worries, no cares, no fears of the past, present or future.
00:49:15 When are you leaving?
00:49:17 Tomorrow noon on the tram to Peaceton Star.
00:49:20 Too bad you're not going with me.
00:49:23 Perhaps I will go.
00:49:26 What?
00:49:28 Doesn't particularly matter where I go or what I do.
00:49:32 Yeah, but what about Dick...
00:49:34 Dick what's-his-name? Dick Taylor?
00:49:36 I'd rather not talk about it.
00:49:38 I get it. You couldn't love a guy like that.
00:49:42 It happens that I do love him, only...
00:49:46 I'd rather not go into it.
00:49:48 Well, it's okay with me, baby.
00:49:49 If you want to go to the devil, you couldn't go in better company.
00:49:51 Where do we leave from?
00:49:53 Peaceton, at noon.
00:49:55 What's the date?
00:49:57 I'll be seeing you.
00:49:59 Yes?
00:50:19 Mr. Taylor is downstairs, miss.
00:50:22 Tell him I'll be right down.
00:50:24 Very good, miss.
00:50:26 Hello, darling.
00:50:47 Not ready yet? I thought you'd be up at the crack of dawn to help me select the ring.
00:50:51 I'm not going.
00:50:53 Okay, then I'll go down and pick it out myself for you. Any preference?
00:50:56 No, Dick. I'm not going to marry you.
00:50:58 Huh? All right, then. I'll marry you.
00:51:01 I'm not joking. I'm not going through with it.
00:51:05 But, darling...
00:51:08 I'm sailing at noon for Tahiti with Gary Dane.
00:51:11 What did you say?
00:51:13 I said I'm sailing at noon for Tahiti with Gary Dane.
00:51:16 Madge, you don't realize what you're saying.
00:51:18 I realize perfectly well what I'm saying and doing.
00:51:21 I'm in love with him. I always have been and I always will be.
00:51:24 But only yesterday you promised.
00:51:26 Dick, I've never cared for you the way I have for Gary.
00:51:29 I'm sorry.
00:51:33 It's the way it is.
00:51:35 And yet it's better to know before than after it's too late.
00:51:42 Isn't it?
00:51:46 Do you really mean to go away with him?
00:51:49 And nothing I can say or do would stop you?
00:51:52 Nothing.
00:51:54 Well...
00:52:01 I guess there's no point in my hanging around here.
00:52:07 Goodbye.
00:52:09 And good luck.
00:52:12 Thank you, Dick.
00:52:14 Goodbye.
00:52:16 [Footsteps]
00:52:18 [Footsteps]
00:52:20 [Footsteps]
00:52:22 [Footsteps]
00:52:24 [Footsteps]
00:52:50 [Footsteps]
00:53:18 Good morning.
00:53:20 Don't tell me you're going domestic all of a sudden.
00:53:24 I always thought neatness was one of the first requisites of a husband.
00:53:28 You, a husband?
00:53:30 I wouldn't have you as a gift.
00:53:32 Ah, but there's them as would me, proud beauty.
00:53:35 Name one.
00:53:36 Madge Allison.
00:53:38 What?
00:53:40 Oh, you thought you'd gum our little romance by running that yarn, huh?
00:53:43 Well, sister, 'cause that's all you can ever be to me now, you'll play right into my hands.
00:53:47 Oh, oh, but Gary, I...
00:53:49 Are you sure you thought you'd queer me with her or her with me?
00:53:52 Well, you queered her all right, but not with me, with that stuffed shirt tailor.
00:53:55 Tailor? Tailor who?
00:53:58 Dick Taylor, her former boyfriend.
00:54:00 Where are you going now?
00:54:03 Oh, just on a little honeymoon to the South Seas for a year or so.
00:54:06 Don't wait up for me.
00:54:08 Come on.
00:54:11 [Footsteps]
00:54:17 [Footsteps]
00:54:19 Hello, Gurley. Get me the Star Steamship Company.
00:54:33 I want to speak to the passenger agent.
00:54:35 Hello.
00:54:40 Has a Mr. Gary Dane book passage on the, uh, uh, uh, Eastern Star?
00:54:46 Oh, a lady, too.
00:54:49 How nice.
00:54:51 Sailing at noon, eh?
00:54:53 That's what he thinks.
00:54:58 [Footsteps]
00:55:00 [Footsteps]
00:55:02 But, Mr. Taylor, the boat sails in less than an hour.
00:55:27 I repeat, Miss Patrick, it's hardly my place to interfere if Miss Allison chooses to go abroad.
00:55:33 But with a chiseler like Gary?
00:55:35 Of all the low-down, double-crossing heels, he's the all-time all-American champ.
00:55:40 Where do you suppose he got the money to pay for this trip?
00:55:43 His salary and savings, I should imagine.
00:55:46 Savings? Him?
00:55:48 Hmph. He's blown every nickel he's ever made on liquor and women.
00:55:52 I'll tell you where he got it.
00:55:54 From me. That's where he got it.
00:55:57 Well, I... I hardly think that's sufficient grounds for me to interfere with her... marriage.
00:56:04 Marriage?
00:56:06 You don't kid yourself he's going to marry her, do you?
00:56:09 He... he's already got one wife.
00:56:12 What?
00:56:13 Yeah, and a kid, too. Deserted them when he first came to New York.
00:56:16 You wait here.
00:56:18 [Footsteps]
00:56:20 [Door slams]
00:56:22 [Footsteps]
00:56:24 [Phone vibrates]
00:56:45 [Phone vibrates]
00:56:48 [Phone vibrates]
00:57:00 [Footsteps]
00:57:03 You a new match, Allison?
00:57:22 Why, yes.
00:57:23 Captain got a message for you. Let me go tell him, huh?
00:57:26 Oh, good bag in cabin?
00:57:28 Yes, please.
00:57:30 [Horn]
00:57:33 Uh, Miss Allison?
00:57:40 How do you do, Captain?
00:57:42 Could you tell me if a Mr. Dane has come aboard yet?
00:57:45 Well, the young man just phoned to say that he'd be temporarily delayed.
00:57:48 But supposing he isn't here by sailing time?
00:57:51 Well, in that case, we'll just have to wait for him.
00:57:53 Oh, that's awfully kind of him.
00:57:56 Shucks, on an eight-month voyage, what's a couple of hours?
00:57:59 It'll all be the same a hundred years from now.
00:58:02 That's my motto.
00:58:04 And now if you'll excuse me, Wong will show you to your cabin.
00:58:07 Wong!
00:58:10 Yes?
00:58:11 Take the lady to her cabin.
00:58:12 Thank you.
00:58:14 [Footsteps]
00:58:17 [Footsteps]
00:58:20 Can't say as I set much store for that young man of yours,
00:58:29 keeping a pretty girl like you waiting.
00:58:32 The truth be told, I can't say as I set much store by myself.
00:58:35 What's this? Panning your future husband already?
00:58:38 My dick!
00:58:39 Here, I'll take those.
00:58:40 Never try to do two things at once, that's my motto.
00:58:43 [Chuckles]
00:58:44 But I... I don't understand.
00:58:47 Well, you wanted romance, didn't you?
00:58:49 And here I am as advertised.
00:58:51 Come on, stop rubbering and stow it even in the gentleman's cabin.
00:58:54 You'll see lots of that kissy-wissy business for the next eight months.
00:58:57 [Footsteps]
00:59:11 [Sneezes]
00:59:14 [Screams]
00:59:18 [Horn]
00:59:30 What about Gary?
00:59:34 Gary? Oh, yes. Yes, of course.
00:59:38 Well, did you see he couldn't make it.
00:59:40 He's kind of tied up.
00:59:43 [Muffled speech]
00:59:52 What's the idea? Trying out a straight jacket?
01:00:09 Boy, when will I get my hands on that rat?
01:00:11 Rats don't tie people up. They know I'm free.
01:00:14 Don't you remember the...
01:00:15 I'm talking about Taylor. Richard G. Taylor III.
01:00:17 Boy, what I won't do to him.
01:00:18 Nobody can break into my room and trust me up.
01:00:20 Of course not. It's all done with mirrors.
01:00:23 Hello? Hello? Hello, operator?
01:00:30 Hello?
01:00:33 [Footsteps]
01:00:36 Hello!
01:00:43 Oh, never mind.
01:00:45 I see Mr. Taylor left his calling card.
01:00:50 Polite young man, isn't he?
01:00:52 He'll need that perverted sense of humor of his before I get through with him.
01:00:55 I wish he'd play a few practical jokes on me at a thousand bucks to throw.
01:01:01 Huh?
01:01:03 Oh, that.
01:01:07 That's to pay for the steamship ticket. I, uh, I gave him mine.
01:01:10 Steamship ticket?
01:01:12 Oh, oh yes, of course.
01:01:14 Your honeymoon.
01:01:16 Where were you going?
01:01:17 None of your business. How do you like that?
01:01:18 Fine! How do you like this?
01:01:20 Hey, wait a minute. That's mine.
01:01:23 Arr, my pet.
01:01:24 It's going into a joint bank account.
01:01:26 And if you want your half, you'll have to marry me to get it.
01:01:29 Say, have you gone nuts?
01:01:31 Probably.
01:01:32 Oh, I know you're a two-timing double saucer.
01:01:35 But I love you just the same.
01:01:37 So I guess it's the gypsum in me.
01:01:40 Gypsy, not gypsum.
01:01:42 Gypsum! A female gypsy!
01:01:45 Or some kind of sap.
01:01:48 Okay, have it your own way.
01:01:52 Hmm.
01:01:54 I intend to.
01:01:57 [The man is reading the letter.]
01:01:59 [Clears throat.]
01:02:10 Lady O' Bramble, Mr. Richard Taylor. I, I, I.
01:02:14 I, I, I?
01:02:16 It's say that, see? Richard Taylor. I, I, I.
01:02:20 Oh, well, then it must be for me, then.
01:02:22 [Laughs.]
01:02:25 It's for Mother. Listen.
01:02:28 Your radiogram just received.
01:02:30 Since you have persisted in defying your mother's wishes,
01:02:33 you need not come back.
01:02:35 She kept her word, didn't she?
01:02:37 Kept her word? What do you mean?
01:02:39 She said if I married you, she'd disinherit you.
01:02:42 Oh.
01:02:45 So that's why you put on that act about being in love with Gary.
01:02:48 Oh, Dick, I should have made you go back.
01:02:51 Now I've ruined your career.
01:02:53 I wish you'd ruined it years ago when I first asked you to.
01:02:56 I'm terribly sorry.
01:02:57 Hey, will you please wait until you've heard the rest of this?
01:02:59 What?
01:03:00 Listen.
01:03:01 You need not come back until you've had a wonderful honeymoon.
01:03:05 Love to you both.
01:03:07 For as much as Richard and Madge have consented together in holy wedlock,
01:03:16 and have witnessed the same before God and this company,
01:03:20 and thereto have given and pledged their troth each to the other,
01:03:25 I pronounce that they are man and wife.
01:03:29 And that ought to hold you for a while.
01:03:31 Leave that to me.
01:03:33 'Course, it wasn't like one of those fancy Fifth Avenue weddings with flowers and everything,
01:03:39 and no one had ever mistaked them for bridesmaids.
01:03:42 Hardly what I'd call a brilliant marriage.
01:03:46 Don't you dare say it wasn't a brilliant marriage.
01:03:49 It's the nicest wedding I've ever seen.
01:03:51 You know why?
01:03:53 Nope. Can't say as I do.
01:03:55 Why?
01:03:56 Because it has romance.
01:03:58 Romance.
01:03:59 Ho, ho, ho, ho, romance.
01:04:02 Come on out, we get to work. Romance.
01:04:04 [Music]
