00:01:29Hello, Tom. Hello, Harry. Hello.
00:01:44Hello, Jack.
00:01:45Hello.
00:01:46Well, Dad, how are you?
00:01:47Good.
00:01:48Hello, Maya.
00:01:49Hello, Tom.
00:01:50How are things?
00:01:51Fine, fine.
00:01:52Good.
00:01:53The book is ready.
00:01:54It's not.
00:01:55I put it on your desk.
00:01:56Oh, come on.
00:01:57Let's have a look.
00:01:58Come along.
00:01:59Let's see this.
00:02:04Ah, now that looks all right.
00:02:07I say.
00:02:10Well, lovely.
00:02:13Congratulations, Maya.
00:02:15Glad you like it, Tom.
00:02:17And you, Harry.
00:02:18Thanks.
00:02:24I think this calls for a celebration.
00:02:26I've got some champagne in the car.
00:02:28I got it for tonight, but if we drink it up, well, my guests can drink beer.
00:02:32Harry, get some glasses.
00:02:33You take that, Maya.
00:02:35I won't be long.
00:02:57Tom's never been on time for an appointment in his life.
00:03:01He has absolutely no consideration for other people.
00:03:04You're not awfully fond of your son, are you, Mr. Collier?
00:03:07Cecilia, if you'd spent the time and money and effort I have to make that young man realize who he is and what he ought to be doing in the world, you'd...
00:03:14You haven't known Tom long.
00:03:16No.
00:03:17Oh, and perhaps from longer experience, you might enlighten him.
00:03:21Well, I presume what Mr. Collier means is that on ordinary terms, Tom doesn't seem to have got very far.
00:03:27He's wasted his life from the cradle.
00:03:29Ah.
00:03:30It must have been pathetic to see him wasting it at three.
00:03:33I assure you, his genius for it showed even then.
00:03:36I send him to Harvard, and he lasts two years there.
00:03:39I send him to Oxford, and he commutes from Paris.
00:03:42I put him into the bank, and he...
00:03:44The whole world at the feet of that boy.
00:03:46The whole world.
00:03:47The whole world.
00:03:48And all he's ever done is to run from it.
00:03:50Well, you know, Tom has his own ideas about what he wants to do with his life.
00:03:54Yes, Regan?
00:03:55A radio message.
00:03:56Came by phone for him.
00:03:57Oh, thanks.
00:03:58You can leave it here.
00:03:59I'll take care of it.
00:04:00Right.
00:04:02Oh, I...
00:04:04Everything satisfactory?
00:04:06Yes, yes.
00:04:07Quite, thanks.
00:04:08Comfortable, miss?
00:04:09Quite, thank you.
00:04:11Like a drink?
00:04:12Anyone?
00:04:13No, no, nothing.
00:04:14We were talking.
00:04:15That's all right.
00:04:16Go ahead.
00:04:17Make yourselves at home.
00:04:18He'll be right along.
00:04:21The butler?
00:04:22He's charming.
00:04:23He looks like a prize fighter.
00:04:25He was.
00:04:27There, there, now.
00:04:28Don't worry.
00:04:29Tom will be along any second now.
00:04:30If what I think is true, I hope he never comes along.
00:04:34What?
00:04:35Well, I'll tell you what's in my mind.
00:04:37Heaven knows I don't want it there.
00:04:39That girl he's been living with for the last three years...
00:04:42Just a minute, sir.
00:04:43It's all right.
00:04:44Good Jupiter, it's no secret, is it?
00:04:46Who is she, anyway?
00:04:47What is she?
00:04:49An extremely nice girl.
00:04:51Hardworking, talented.
00:04:52She...
00:04:53She draws for one of the fashion magazines.
00:04:56And very successfully.
00:04:58She left three months ago for her magazine's Paris office for an indefinite stay.
00:05:01Oh, maybe she's coming back.
00:05:03What of it, Mr. Carlye?
00:05:05What of it?
00:05:06Everything of it.
00:05:07It's like him to marry her.
00:05:08I'm surprised he's missed it as long as he has.
00:05:11Well, I've stood for his rowdy friendships.
00:05:13I've put up with his idleness, his ill-mannered insolence.
00:05:15I'm sorry, Mr. Carlye.
00:05:17I'll have to ask you to let it go at that.
00:05:19Why so?
00:05:20Because it so happens that I'm why we're here.
00:05:23How's that?
00:05:24It's me Tom's going to marry.
00:05:26And I've heard enough against him to last me quite a while.
00:05:29See, what are you talking about?
00:05:31Marrying.
00:05:33I say, I thought...
00:05:34On June 1st, to be exact.
00:05:36He asked you out here to tell you.
00:05:37And I imagine to receive your good wishes.
00:05:40My dear.
00:05:41My dear, I congratulate Tom and myself.
00:05:45And I hope it'll work out for you.
00:05:47I hope he won't be utterly impossible as a husband.
00:05:49He has been at everything else I wanted him to do.
00:05:52I don't agree with you.
00:05:53Tom's the most interesting, most attractive man I've ever known.
00:05:57I consider myself shot with luck.
00:05:59Very loyal.
00:06:00Not at all.
00:06:01I simply believe in him.
00:06:03Not in his so-called past, perhaps.
00:06:06I'm not quite a fool.
00:06:08But certainly in what's to be.
00:06:09Well, faith is a beautiful thing.
00:06:12I think so.
00:06:15Well, if you can make a respectable citizen out of Tom Collier at this date,
00:06:18you'll have nothing but praise from me, my dear.
00:06:22It seems not to occur to you.
00:06:24When Tom has someone who really understands him,
00:06:26to work and care for while he...
00:06:28Understands him?
00:06:30Yes, completely.
00:06:31While he'll make what you call a respectable citizen of himself.
00:06:35You think so?
00:06:36I know.
00:06:37And if what you laughingly refer to as my faith is of any use to him...
00:06:41Love will conquer all.
00:06:43Yes, yes, of course.
00:06:44But forgive me a few doubts.
00:06:46Oh? How's that, sir?
00:06:48Darling, I'm coming back.
00:06:49Arrive on Paris at eight tonight.
00:06:51Much love, Daisy.
00:06:54Well?
00:06:55I know all about her.
00:06:57Did you know she was returning tonight?
00:06:58No.
00:06:59Neither did Tom.
00:07:01Owen, I'd like a few words with you, if Cecilia will pardon us.
00:07:04Certainly.
00:07:07Owen.
00:07:14I meant to tell you on the way over, Owen.
00:07:17But then, I couldn't.
00:07:19See, how did it happen?
00:07:21Very suddenly.
00:07:22Very sweetly.
00:07:23Yesterday.
00:07:27I'm sorry.
00:07:29You asked.
00:07:32If you'll excuse me, I...
00:07:33I think I'll see what Mr. Collier wants.
00:07:59Hello, Ruth.
00:08:00Hiya, Tom.
00:08:01Oh, are they here yet?
00:08:02They are.
00:08:03Good.
00:08:05Darling.
00:08:06Tom.
00:08:07Take my hat, will you?
00:08:09Thanks. Now get out.
00:08:10I just wanted to tell you that...
00:08:11Later.
00:08:12But there's a...
00:08:13Get, will you, Ruth?
00:08:14A radio message come for you.
00:08:15Oh, get out.
00:08:18Hello, darling.
00:08:19No. You're late. I'm furious with you.
00:08:21Late?
00:08:24There. Is that all right?
00:08:25That's terrible.
00:08:26I've taken up with a thrifty spinster.
00:08:29That's all you deserve.
00:08:30Well, where are they, Father and Owen?
00:08:32In the other room.
00:08:33Tell me, darling, did you really say you'd marry me?
00:08:35I'm afraid I did.
00:08:36Oh, heaven help us both.
00:08:38Just this one marriage, please.
00:08:40You know, I haven't been very good about marriage.
00:08:42I was exposed to a very bad case of it as a baby.
00:08:44We must make a grand go of it.
00:08:46Oh, we shall.
00:08:47Never you fear.
00:08:48Well, you just do everything I say and it'll be all right.
00:08:51With pleasure, sir.
00:08:52Oh, see, darling, what a marvellous object you are.
00:08:59Oh, I feel good.
00:09:00So do I.
00:09:01Do you?
00:09:03My lovely C.
00:09:04Stop it, Tom, you're embarrassing me.
00:09:06Why?
00:09:07I feel quite naked.
00:09:09You look marvellous.
00:09:10I'll have dinner in a couple of minutes, Tom.
00:09:11Here, glasses with ice and run all the way.
00:09:13Right.
00:09:14Did you get your radio message?
00:09:15What message?
00:09:21Excuse me.
00:09:23Goodbye.
00:09:30Don't tell me if you don't want to.
00:09:32But I do.
00:09:33I'd always intended to at the first opportunity, anyway.
00:09:36And suddenly it seems here it is.
00:09:42Goodbye.
00:09:43Goodbye.
00:09:44Goodbye.
00:09:45Goodbye.
00:09:46Goodbye.
00:09:47Goodbye.
00:09:48Goodbye.
00:09:49Goodbye.
00:09:50Goodbye.
00:09:52Well, see...
00:09:56For a long time I've known, known intimately,
00:09:59a girl who's been very important to me.
00:10:03Yes?
00:10:05Daisy's done more for me than anyone in this world.
00:10:08She's the best friend I've got.
00:10:09I believe she always will be.
00:10:10I'd hate totally to lose her.
00:10:13It's been a queer sort of arrangement.
00:10:16Well, no arrangement at all, really.
00:10:17There's never been any idea of marriage between us.
00:10:20Well...
00:10:21Is she attractive, Tom?
00:10:22To me, she is.
00:10:24I don't believe you'd like me half so well
00:10:26if Daisy hadn't knocked some good sense into me.
00:10:29Someone's done a good job of it.
00:10:31I'll tell her that.
00:10:33I sent her a long cable this morning, all about us.
00:10:36Of course, she never got it because this...
00:10:38This came from the boat.
00:10:40She lands tonight.
00:10:42I see.
00:10:44See...
00:10:45We've...
00:10:47Well, we've been everything possible to each other, of course, but...
00:10:50Yes, Tom.
00:10:51But at the same time, as free as air.
00:10:53I mean, there's never been any feeling of conventional responsibility
00:10:56towards each other involved in it.
00:10:59I can understand that.
00:11:01Can you see?
00:11:03Because I never could.
00:11:05Anyhow, that's how it's been.
00:11:08We haven't been what you'd call in love for a long time now.
00:11:13Does she know that?
00:11:15She knew it first.
00:11:18Well, I don't know what more there is to be said about it
00:11:21except that there's no need for you to worry.
00:11:23You won't, will you?
00:11:25Not if you tell me I needn't.
00:11:26Well, I do.
00:11:28And finally,
00:11:29I think she ought to know the news about us pretty promptly.
00:11:33Yes.
00:11:34Probably.
00:11:36Well, is anything I do about that all right with you?
00:11:40Of course.
00:11:41Thank you, see.
00:11:44Oh, hello, Father. Hello, Owen.
00:11:45Evening, Tom.
00:11:46Good evening.
00:11:47You said five o'clock. It's seven, and I think...
00:11:49Oh, did I? Is it?
00:11:51Listen, you and Owen, I want to tell you what this is all about.
00:11:54We know. We've heard.
00:11:56He was abusing you, sir. I had to tell him.
00:11:58And it didn't discourage you?
00:11:59On the contrary.
00:12:00Oh, stout heart.
00:12:02Why, thanks very much, sir, but I think I'm the one to be congratulated.
00:12:06Yes, indeed we are.
00:12:08Yes, I'm sure we shall be.
00:12:10Hello, Red. There you are. That's the boy.
00:12:12That's my father over there.
00:12:13Oh, glad to meet you, sir.
00:12:15And my fiancée, Miss Henry.
00:12:16You're...
00:12:22Good boy.
00:12:24Thanks, thanks very much.
00:12:25Well, here's how and why and wherefore, and you know where marriages are made.
00:12:35Is it all right?
00:12:37Swell.
00:12:38Well, that's splendid. Now, we're all satisfied, aren't we?
00:12:40Yeah, yeah, just a moment, Red. Did you put the car away?
00:12:43Say, how many hands have I got?
00:12:45Well, don't. I shall need it.
00:12:46Right.
00:12:49Father.
00:12:51I'm afraid I'll have to ask you to do the honors at dinner.
00:12:53Why? How's that?
00:12:55I find I have to go straight back to town.
00:12:57Now, you listen to me.
00:12:58It seems to me extremely important that I should do it at once. In fact, I can't do otherwise.
00:13:02You have the effrontery, the colossal bad taste on the night of celebrating your engagement to a fine, trusting, loyal girl,
00:13:08to go from her, your fiancée, to your...
00:13:12Same old difficulty about words, eh, Father?
00:13:15Never mind. None of them apply to Daisy.
00:13:17I suppose you know better.
00:13:18If you leave here tonight...
00:13:19Yes, much.
00:13:21Much better.
00:13:24Till tomorrow, my angel.
00:13:25Goodbye, angel.
00:13:30My poor child.
00:13:32I'm sorry, Sissy.
00:13:34Oh, I think you did exactly right.
00:13:37The beautiful thing, Faith.
00:13:39A beautiful, beautiful thing.
00:13:56Tommy.
00:13:57Daisy.
00:14:00I was looking for you at the door.
00:14:01I'm so sorry. I didn't get your message in time.
00:14:03Oh, come in.
00:14:04All right.
00:14:08Oh, hello, you dear Tom.
00:14:12Hello, Daisy.
00:14:14Now, it seems as though I hadn't been away at all.
00:14:16Mm-hmm. That's it.
00:14:17Oh, come sit down. I have so much to tell you, it'll take hours.
00:14:20Ah.
00:14:22Tom, two of the most exciting things have happened to me.
00:14:25Not one, two.
00:14:26Really? What were they?
00:14:27Oh, I'm bursting with them.
00:14:30Daisy, I...
00:14:33No, you tell me. Come on.
00:14:35Well, my heavy sledding ought to be over in a few weeks.
00:14:38By the first of June, anyway.
00:14:40What have you got on the fire? Much?
00:14:42Yes, a good deal.
00:14:44The fact is, I...
00:14:45Well, work day and night until the first of June, and then...
00:14:47And then come to Mexico for a month with Daisy.
00:14:50Oh, I'm dying to go, because...
00:14:52Well, first of all...
00:14:54What?
00:14:55I feel like such a fool.
00:14:56Promise you won't be the word of it to anybody.
00:14:59Tom, I think I can paint.
00:15:01Well, that's no surprise. I've always thought you could...
00:15:04Well, then you've always been wrong, because it's new.
00:15:06It's just since the last two months.
00:15:08I believe if I work my eyes out and my fingers to the bone,
00:15:11that someday I may really paint.
00:15:14You must be hard on me now.
00:15:15No parties, no playing around, just work.
00:15:18And you mustn't let me show until you know I'm ready to.
00:15:20Is that agreed?
00:15:21All right.
00:15:22You've got a funny instinct about those things, and I'm counting on you.
00:15:25That's the first thing.
00:15:28As for the second thing...
00:15:30What?
00:15:35You know, I...
00:15:37Suddenly, I feel shy with you.
00:15:42Oh, I don't like it.
00:15:48I don't like it a bit.
00:15:51It's been a long time, Daisy.
00:15:54Too long.
00:16:00Perhaps I'd better wait to tell you the second thing.
00:16:02No.
00:16:04Tell me now.
00:16:07Oh, my dear, what's wrong with us?
00:16:10Come here to me.
00:16:17That's better. I don't feel it so much now.
00:16:20You're a free man, you know, Tommy.
00:16:21You always have been with me. No questions asked.
00:16:24But, oh, please, Mexico and June together, because, listen...
00:16:28No, don't look at me. Look the other way.
00:16:31On the boat coming over,
00:16:34the sweetest small boy, about two,
00:16:36and I got crazy about him, and I want one.
00:16:38I want one badly.
00:16:41So will you please be good enough to marry me?
00:16:44Oh, you always used to say you wanted to, only I wouldn't let you.
00:16:47Well, you didn't be terribly serious.
00:16:49It's not a life sentence, you know.
00:16:50Just for a little while, if you like.
00:16:52Would be such a dirty trick on him if we didn't.
00:16:55Then after I get my stuff through for the July issue,
00:16:57Mexico for a month together.
00:17:00Oh, I love you so much.
00:17:01I was a fool ever to think I didn't.
00:17:04So come on, Tommy, be a good sport,
00:17:07and give me a cigarette.
00:17:08Daisy.
00:17:10All right, never mind. Let's forget all about it.
00:17:13That is a foul necktie you've got on.
00:17:15Daisy, I...
00:17:17What is it?
00:17:22Oh, you're going to tell me something terrible.
00:17:25What is it?
00:17:29I'm going to be married, Daisy.
00:17:34Listen, listen, my darling, you can't care so much.
00:17:36You can't. It's simply that you and I naturally are...
00:17:38It must have happened pretty quickly.
00:17:39Yes, it did. A month ago, we hadn't even met.
00:17:41It was a...
00:17:42You can spare me the details, please.
00:17:44I don't even want to know who she is.
00:18:00Who is she?
00:18:01Cecilia Henry, her name is.
00:18:06Behold, the bridegroom cometh.
00:18:09And no oil for my lamp, as usual.
00:18:11Oh.
00:18:14A foolish virgin, me.
00:18:16Well...
00:18:18Foolish, anyway.
00:18:26When is it to be, soon?
00:18:29About the first of June, we planned.
00:18:31June?
00:18:32Oh, yes.
00:18:33Well, in that case, Mexico would be out.
00:18:35But I never dreamed...
00:18:37I feel so awful.
00:18:39Remember me, Tom.
00:18:42Daisy, there's to be no nonsense about not seeing each other again as friends or any of that, you know.
00:18:47Oh, but there will be that nonsense.
00:18:49Oh, yes, there'll be that, all right.
00:18:50I don't understand. I don't see why we shouldn't.
00:18:53I thought for a long time we'd been out of danger, so far as...
00:18:57Well, so far as...
00:18:59Wanting each other goes?
00:19:00Well, haven't we?
00:19:03Speak for yourself, Tom.
00:19:04You too, Daisy. You first, I thought.
00:19:07Well, it's true, that side of it was never so much to us.
00:19:10Not in comparison, not...
00:19:12Well, not after those first crazy months.
00:19:16But I thought that was natural.
00:19:20I was even glad.
00:19:22Glad that it was other needs that held us together.
00:19:25So closely.
00:19:28Not a claim.
00:19:29Never a claim, but so closely.
00:19:31So closely.
00:19:36Tom.
00:19:37Tom, do you have to marry her?
00:19:40I want to marry her.
00:19:42I thought maybe you just wanted her. Wanted her most awfully.
00:19:45No, no, no. It's more than that. Much more.
00:19:47Well, I don't see how you can quite tell that.
00:19:50For all our big talk, you know, we do still belong to the animal kingdom.
00:19:53If you knew her, Daisy...
00:19:54Yes, well, I don't.
00:19:56Listen, Daisy.
00:19:57There's no one like you. Never will be. I know that.
00:19:59But this, it...
00:20:00I don't know. I can't tell you.
00:20:02Don't try, don't try, don't try.
00:20:08Goodbye, you Tom Carter.
00:20:13Goodbye?
00:20:15Until when?
00:20:18Doomsday, my darling.
00:20:23What are you talking about?
00:20:24Just that.
00:20:25Now, you listen to me.
00:20:26If you think I'm going to allow two people who mean as much to each other as you and I do
00:20:29to be separated by any such false, ridiculous notion as that, you're mistaken.
00:20:33Just you try it.
00:20:34Tell me goodbye.
00:20:35I'll do nothing of the kind.
00:20:36Oh, yes, you will. You must.
00:20:37You have to.
00:20:38Sharp, decent and clean. No loose ends between us two.
00:20:41But it's not decent. It's soft. It's sentimental.
00:20:43It's the kind of thing you'd never have any use for. Taught me never to.
00:20:46Goodbye.
00:20:47I will not say it.
00:20:48Goodbye.
00:20:49No.
00:20:50You must.
00:20:51Listen to me, Daisy. Please.
00:20:52And some things of yours that are here, I want you to take them along with you, please.
00:20:53Frank got me a new maid just before I landed.
00:20:55Where did Harriet go when I left?
00:20:56Well, the new maid had a swell hunch about us, she did.
00:20:59Some shirts and things of yours that were here, she wrapped up in a nice little bundle.
00:21:04Well, she gets the gate for it, the big Swede.
00:21:07I don't believe in this. I don't believe in any of it.
00:21:09Go and get them, will you?
00:21:11Fetch, Thomas.
00:21:12It's quite a neat, tidy little bundle.
00:21:14But if it stays around here, well...
00:21:17I don't quite see myself crying into an old shirt, do you?
00:21:21I've worked to do, my son, a great deal of it.
00:21:25No?
00:21:26Won't fetch?
00:21:28Then kindly permit me to.
00:21:41And you will say goodbye to me?
00:21:43You've said it so many times so brightly.
00:21:46Say it this time sadly.
00:21:48You will, won't you?
00:21:50We'll make it an unmarried ceremony.
00:21:53Keep everything quite regular.
00:21:56You must take my hand in yours as one splendid gesture.
00:22:00And murmur a goodbye, my Daisy.
00:22:03Thanks very much.
00:22:05A charming association.
00:22:09And may we never, never meet again so long as we two shall live.
00:22:15Here's the washback.
00:22:17Now do as Daisy says.
00:22:53Taxi! Taxi!
00:23:05There you are.
00:23:10My dear, I'm congealed.
00:23:12I can't say I envy you and your husband the trip into town.
00:23:15It's not my idea.
00:23:16Well, why do you do it, see? It's so grim.
00:23:19Tom wants to.
00:23:20Oh, such loyalty.
00:23:22It's her first showing.
00:23:24And he thinks for some reason we should be there.
00:23:26Who is she, anyway?
00:23:29An artist.
00:23:30Sage her name is.
00:23:32Tom says she's good.
00:23:34Oh, well.
00:23:35I suppose publishers have to harb now with all sorts of queer people.
00:23:39We see few people of any description anymore.
00:23:42Yes.
00:23:43Don't tell me about the hermit life you live.
00:23:46I think the least you could do would be to come to my Sunday breakfast now and then.
00:23:50Tomorrow's will be such fun, do see.
00:23:52Perhaps we shall.
00:23:53Well, not if you're going tonight.
00:23:55Perhaps we shan't go in tonight.
00:23:59So that's the way it is.
00:24:01Well, well, well.
00:24:03Ah, with us again.
00:24:04With you again, yes.
00:24:06See, don't you think we'd better be getting underway, dear?
00:24:09Oh, we've got hours.
00:24:10I read the new book you published last week, Tom.
00:24:13Oh, yes? What do you think of it?
00:24:14Superlative, my dear. I was simply ravished.
00:24:17Well, that's something, isn't it?
00:24:19Isn't he beyond words?
00:24:21You're the world's funniest man.
00:24:23You couldn't possibly be funnier.
00:24:25Ah, you don't know me.
00:24:26Oh, yes, I do.
00:24:27Don't you adore it, see?
00:24:29The book, I mean.
00:24:30I like it very much.
00:24:31In fact, I'm afraid it was I who made Tom take it.
00:24:34And I'm afraid I still think it the worst tripe the Bantam ever published.
00:24:37But, my dear, everyone's simply devouring it.
00:24:40Well, there'll be a lot of sickness this winter.
00:24:42You're so foolish about it, Tom.
00:24:44He'll make enough on that one book to bring out ten he really cares for.
00:24:48I suppose that's the way it works.
00:24:50Oh, Father called today.
00:24:52What'd he want?
00:24:54He wants us to dine with him on Wednesday and spend the night.
00:24:57Oh, come on, darling. Get us out of it, won't you?
00:24:59Again? How can I?
00:25:01I don't know. Tell him I'm up to my eyes in work or anything else he won't believe.
00:25:04Take the old car. It's frozen stiff.
00:25:06Oh, well, I could easily send you in in a closed car.
00:25:08Sammy and I might even join you.
00:25:10Oh, thank you. We cannot accept your sacrifice.
00:25:14Really, he's extraordinary. He defeats me.
00:25:18Well, I guess I'd better be barging along, as they say.
00:25:21I'm sure it's getting colder by the minute.
00:25:23Yeah, it's almost cold enough to...
00:25:25You know, I think we'd best bring the brass monkeys in tonight, don't you?
00:25:29The, uh...
00:25:31Good night, C.
00:25:32Good night, Grace.
00:25:34Must you really?
00:25:36Well, uh, yes, I'm afraid I must.
00:25:39Oh, now don't forget.
00:25:41You're coming to my Sunday breakfast tomorrow.
00:25:43We're having the most amusing people.
00:25:45That's what Sunday breakfast needs, isn't it, C?
00:25:47Mind you, the coffee must be very hot as well.
00:25:50Good night.
00:25:58Good night.
00:26:01I think that...
00:26:06Good evening.
00:26:09Why, dear, that desperate butler must embarrass you to death.
00:26:13Not much longer.
00:26:15Tom's promised to fire him tonight if he isn't completely insensible.
00:26:31Good evening, Red.
00:26:33Evening.
00:26:36Here, you'd better get to bed, hadn't you?
00:26:39Just where I'm headed.
00:26:40Here, just a moment, Red.
00:26:42Now...
00:26:44All right.
00:26:45Bring a couple of bottles of beer, will you?
00:26:47Right.
00:26:59What did you say to Regan?
00:27:01Regan?
00:27:03He never drinks on duty.
00:27:05Why shouldn't he have the right to get slightly mellow on his one day out?
00:27:08Slightly mellow?
00:27:10He can hardly stand.
00:27:11When I said good evening to him, he didn't even answer.
00:27:14Maybe he couldn't speak.
00:27:16All he did was to bow, like this, with a foolish grin.
00:27:19So low, he nearly fell over.
00:27:21Well, you know, it's pretty hard to gauge a bow under those conditions.
00:27:27Tom.
00:27:29I think it's selfish of us to keep him.
00:27:31Selfish?
00:27:32Well, we're certainly depriving him of any chance he ever had to make anything of himself.
00:27:36Hang it, see, he broke his hand. He'll never fight again.
00:27:39I don't mean fighting.
00:27:40Well, these are hard times. I don't know what else there is for him.
00:27:44I'll leave it to you. Do as you like about him.
00:27:46And, you know, I feel somehow...
00:27:48I feel somehow that Red's good luck for me. He's...
00:27:51I don't know, we understand each other. I'm awfully fond of him.
00:27:54You must be, to ruin whatever chance in life he might have.
00:27:58I wouldn't let Red, you know I wouldn't.
00:28:00You're doing it, though.
00:28:01What possibly could be more degrading to a man than housework?
00:28:04I don't know. I wouldn't like to tell you, darling.
00:28:07Of course, you know, you're making a regular Simon Legree out of me. Where's my whip?
00:28:11No. It's just that in your delightful, casual way, you've never thought of his side of it.
00:28:17I wouldn't do that to Red. I really wouldn't.
00:28:20Ring for him, see.
00:28:22Not me. I've nothing to do with it.
00:28:25Do you have to change, or are you ready?
00:28:27Seemed to me you were unnecessarily rude to Grace. I have to change.
00:28:31Now we've got to go to her breakfast in the morning.
00:28:33Honestly, see, all my life I've been trying to get away from her kind of people.
00:28:36Takes all kinds to make a world.
00:28:38Yes, and then what have you got?
00:28:40Come on, darling, you go get Red's, yes?
00:28:45I suppose you feel we must go into town tonight?
00:28:48Of course, why?
00:28:50An exhibit lasts several days, doesn't it?
00:28:52Yes, but I want to be there tonight. Tonight's the opening.
00:28:55Besides, they'll all be there tonight.
00:29:00Have you seen any of your old friends lately?
00:29:04No.
00:29:05Why not, dears?
00:29:08Oh, and the girl, Daisy, the one who's exhibiting tonight, have you seen her?
00:29:15Daisy, the one who's exhibiting tonight, have you seen her?
00:29:22No.
00:29:23Why not? I thought you felt her friendship was important to you.
00:29:28She won't see me.
00:29:30Won't see you?
00:29:32No. Come on, see, be a good girl. You go up and get dressed.
00:29:37Oh, dear.
00:29:39What's the matter?
00:29:40Nothing.
00:29:41But dear, what is it?
00:29:43Oh, just this blasted headache. I've had it all day.
00:29:46Oh, what a shame. The cold air will fix that up.
00:29:49It was that that gave it to me.
00:29:52Honestly, Tom, I don't think I can face it.
00:29:54What?
00:29:55Why not send her a wire? Best wishes. That's enough, isn't it?
00:29:59No, no, no, that wouldn't do.
00:30:00I'm sure she'd be every bit as glad to have a telegram.
00:30:02See, darling, listen, Daisy's been working for years for this.
00:30:05A telegram wouldn't do at all. I've simply got to be there.
00:30:07There's no particular reason why you should go. I can go alone.
00:30:10I'll come.
00:30:11Listen, dear, you...
00:30:14Put them down there, Red, will you?
00:30:19What?
00:30:20Tell him now.
00:30:21All right.
00:30:22And wait a minute. What's the rush?
00:30:25Stick around.
00:30:27Certainly.
00:30:29Listen, see, if you feel tired, you go to bed.
00:30:32No, I'll come.
00:30:42Well, drag up a chair, Red.
00:30:51One more's about all I need.
00:30:55You know, this morning, if all the bad heads in the world were put together in a row,
00:31:00my head would have got up and sneered at the rest of them.
00:31:04Well, I'm going to bed.
00:31:07My head would have got up and sneered at the rest of them.
00:31:10Well, here's how.
00:31:13How?
00:31:17That's the stuff.
00:31:18That builds you up, eh?
00:31:20Yo.
00:31:21Oh.
00:31:22Say.
00:31:25Have you seen this one?
00:31:27Shouldn't think so, no.
00:31:28Tell me where to stop and remember the card.
00:31:35Right.
00:31:36Got it?
00:31:37I got it.
00:31:46Where is it?
00:31:52It's gone, all right.
00:31:53Feel in your pocket.
00:31:57Not this time.
00:31:58No?
00:31:59No.
00:32:01Is that it?
00:32:03Marvelous.
00:32:05I paid $5 for that trick.
00:32:07Oh, girl.
00:32:10I'll let it go for $2.98.
00:32:13No.
00:32:14Sorry, not interested.
00:32:16Red.
00:32:19Was it cold in town today?
00:32:21I don't envy those guys selling apples on the corners.
00:32:24Oh, not much of a job, that, eh?
00:32:26Women's work.
00:32:30Pretty tough times, all right, eh?
00:32:32Say, look here, Tom.
00:32:34If I...
00:32:37Nothing.
00:32:38If you're ever hard up, though, you know where to come.
00:32:40That goes both ways.
00:32:44Red.
00:32:45I might just as well tell you right off.
00:32:47What?
00:32:50Nothing.
00:32:52Say.
00:32:53What?
00:32:54How's your father these days?
00:32:55Oh, never better, thanks.
00:33:01Red.
00:33:03Do you ever think about your future?
00:33:05I guess where I'll go, it'll be plenty hot.
00:33:08I mean...
00:33:09Oh, you mean here.
00:33:10Now, that's a funny thing, because, listen, Tom, maybe I...
00:33:16I'll let it go.
00:33:17No, but what?
00:33:18Fill her up, will you?
00:33:20Not much of a future in buttling, eh, Red?
00:33:23Oh, well...
00:33:24You know, I'm certainly grateful to you for all you've done.
00:33:27Ah, be still, will you?
00:33:29I am, though.
00:33:30That's fine from you.
00:33:33I'll never forget when I was...
00:33:36And you...
00:33:38Well...
00:33:39Well, I'll never forget it.
00:33:41Put it there, old boy.
00:33:43You're the top, boy.
00:33:45I don't know what you think of me when I...
00:33:48When you what?
00:33:49When I...
00:33:50Well...
00:33:51Well, what would you say, for instance, if I...
00:33:55Nope, it's no good.
00:33:57Here, you're not in any trouble, are you?
00:33:59Trouble? Me? What trouble?
00:34:01Well, then, look here, Regan.
00:34:03Well, chief?
00:34:07Tom Collier for president, the people's judge.
00:34:09Now, now, listen to me.
00:34:10Wait, wait, Tom, Tom, I've just got to tell you.
00:34:12Don't hold it against me, but I'm...
00:34:14I'm quitting you.
00:34:15I've took another job.
00:34:17You what?
00:34:18Oh, I know what you'll say.
00:34:19Holy cats, Red.
00:34:21I couldn't stand it any longer. She don't like my ways.
00:34:24I mean the missus. I get on her nerves.
00:34:26Last week, Mo Winters told me he wanted to open a country gym.
00:34:29And would I run it with him?
00:34:30On the order of Muldoon's.
00:34:32But with a little bar attached.
00:34:35Heaven help me, I...
00:34:36I give him a word.
00:34:38I see.
00:34:40Well, what's there in it for you, Red?
00:34:42Ah, don't put it that way, Tom.
00:34:44I really want to know.
00:34:46Two hundred a month and a smell at the gate, if any.
00:34:49That's all right. Sounds like a good deal.
00:34:52Let it go. I'll phone him.
00:34:53No, no, no, no, no.
00:34:54When did you start?
00:34:56He wanted me last Wednesday.
00:34:58I've been trying all week to get up the nerve to tell you, but...
00:35:01Well, how long will it take you to pack?
00:35:04Well...
00:35:05Well, there's my hat trunk and my shoe trunk.
00:35:08And a trunk for my fancy dress ball clothes.
00:35:10Listen, you leave by noon tomorrow, you understand?
00:35:12Not a minute later.
00:35:15Okay, Chief.
00:35:17I'm sorry you had to take it that way.
00:35:19Oh, don't be a fool. I'm overjoyed for you.
00:35:21Fact?
00:35:22Absolutely. Here's to the new job.
00:35:24Take it from me, boy.
00:35:26Take it from me, boy.
00:35:28You're the goods.
00:35:30Well, you've got your points, too, you know.
00:35:34Anyhow...
00:35:37Anyhow...
00:35:42Well...
00:35:44You'll explain to the missus?
00:35:46Yes, of course.
00:35:48Tell her I'm sorry?
00:35:50Hope no inconvenience?
00:35:52Yes, I'll explain, Ray.
00:35:55So long, Tom.
00:35:57Goodbye, Ray.
00:35:59So long, Tom.
00:36:02Goodbye, Ray.
00:36:04I'll give you a ring, how it goes.
00:36:06Yes, if you do that, that's right.
00:36:08Keep your bib clean.
00:36:10I will, old boy.
00:36:17Good luck, Tom.
00:36:24Good luck.
00:36:44Tom.
00:36:46Oh, hello.
00:36:48Ready?
00:36:50Not quite. Did you tell him?
00:36:53You know, I miss that guy.
00:36:56I miss having him around.
00:36:58I know, darling.
00:37:00But it's for the best.
00:37:02I'm sure of it.
00:37:04I feel somehow that my luck's going with him.
00:37:08I'm your luck, darling.
00:37:15I see you feel good.
00:37:18Do I, dear?
00:37:20You haven't any clothes on.
00:37:22Go along now, dress. Dress quickly, we've got to run.
00:37:25Come and help me.
00:37:32No, you'd better not.
00:37:37See?
00:37:41Do you remember this negligee?
00:37:43I came across it in the bottom drawer.
00:37:46My spine simply melted.
00:37:51Quebec?
00:37:53Yes.
00:37:55See, come in here.
00:37:57You'll make us late.
00:37:59What of it?
00:38:01We're late already. We'll miss it.
00:38:03Well, what if we do?
00:38:05Oh, darling.
00:38:07You're the limit.
00:38:09Ten minutes ago, you said...
00:38:13Tom.
00:38:15What, dear?
00:38:17You go in alone. I've decided to stay here.
00:38:19You've what?
00:38:21Yes, it's too cold.
00:38:23I'm going to tuck myself in my warm bed and read.
00:38:27Good night, lover.
00:38:29I'll miss you.
00:38:38Look here, I'll stay.
00:38:40No, no, no.
00:38:42Good night, darling.
00:38:44You'd better take your heavy coat.
00:38:46And keep warm.
00:39:16Good night.
00:39:42Hello.
00:39:44Don't send a telegram.
00:39:54I would have an exhibition, wouldn't I?
00:39:56Well, if I'm to believe the critics, I ought to be painting signboards.
00:39:59There are no judges of one's work but oneself, Daisy.
00:40:04I wonder who that is.
00:40:06I'll answer.
00:40:09Hello, Frank.
00:40:11Hello, Tom.
00:40:13Is Daisy in?
00:40:15Yes.
00:40:19Hello.
00:40:21I think I'll run along, Daisy.
00:40:23No, don't go, Frank.
00:40:25Yes, I must go. Goodbye, Tom.
00:40:30Well...
00:40:32Speak to me, somebody, will you?
00:40:34Am I a leper?
00:40:38What would you like me to say?
00:40:40Oh, um...
00:40:43Take off your coat, Collier, and stay a while, won't you?
00:40:46Thanks, I think I will.
00:40:52Well, it was nice of you to ask me over.
00:40:56Yes, but I didn't, you see.
00:40:58Well, it was nice, anyway.
00:41:00Goodbye.
00:41:06Whatever made you think I wanted to see you?
00:41:09Nothing.
00:41:11Except that I wanted to see you.
00:41:15How's, uh...
00:41:17How's it coming?
00:41:19How's what coming?
00:41:21I mean, the job.
00:41:23Job. Oh, the job.
00:41:25Oh, I gave that up last winter.
00:41:27A trifle, shall we say, quixotic of me.
00:41:30How's Joe's book doing?
00:41:32Haven't you seen him?
00:41:34No.
00:41:36Joe's book is doing fine, thank you.
00:41:38Of course, you can't compare with the magnificent volumes
00:41:41being brought out by your Bantam Press.
00:41:43Indian Summer and Young Ecstasy.
00:41:45Ouch.
00:41:47Oh, what on earth made you take those things on, Tom?
00:41:50Oh, I don't know. Money.
00:41:52Ah, but, Daisy, I've reformed.
00:41:54You wait till you see the Bantam's new list.
00:41:57I'm waiting.
00:42:05Well, I hear Frank's a hit.
00:42:08She is.
00:42:10I, uh...
00:42:12saw your exhibition today.
00:42:14Oh, did you really? Funny, I missed you.
00:42:16What did you think of it?
00:42:18Well...
00:42:20Oh, tell me.
00:42:22Daisy, I don't think you're ready to show yet.
00:42:25How were the notices?
00:42:27Appalling.
00:42:28I suppose their reasons were all wrong.
00:42:30Yes, of course they were. What were yours?
00:42:32Well, you've been painting less than a year.
00:42:35Yes.
00:42:36And yet you had about 30 canvases to show.
00:42:3932.
00:42:40An awful lot, Daisy.
00:42:42Then you didn't like any of them.
00:42:44Oh, yes. One I loved particularly.
00:42:46That one with the milk bottles on the doorstep.
00:42:48I'd like to buy that one.
00:42:50That's number seven.
00:42:52Sorry, not for sale.
00:42:54Of course, your drawings are marvellous.
00:42:56Only what?
00:42:57Well, it depends on what you want to be. I thought it was a painter.
00:43:00So did I.
00:43:02Goya's drawing was pretty good. He painted rather well, too, I always thought.
00:43:05In the first year, I doubted.
00:43:07Well, I wasn't aware that it took a definite length of time.
00:43:09I'm living in cities all your life.
00:43:11I suppose I should hire me to some sylvan dell.
00:43:13I don't think it would hurt a bit.
00:43:14Well, if you can show me a purer cobalt blue,
00:43:16then the winter sky over the East River in the afternoon at four o'clock...
00:43:19But now you're just being bullheaded.
00:43:21Bullheaded? Me?
00:43:23Me, bullheaded.
00:43:24Well?
00:43:25Well, what more, teacher?
00:43:27All I've said and all I'm saying is that you can't expect the first crack out of the box.
00:43:30You've got to work, Daisy.
00:43:32Work? Now he's telling me to work.
00:43:34Great heaven, what have I done else but.
00:43:36But differently, with such pains.
00:43:38You're turning out too much and you know it.
00:43:45Maybe.
00:43:54Maybe anything's too much.
00:43:56Oh, darling.
00:43:58Now, don't soften on me, stay tough.
00:44:00Well, I do believe that, Sid.
00:44:01I think that's the whole story, still hung over from the old job.
00:44:04Pressure, pressure all the time.
00:44:06Still rushing countless sketches through against a magazine's deadline.
00:44:11Anyhow, against some deadline.
00:44:14Daisy, darling.
00:44:16Who but you, Tom?
00:44:18Who but you and strangers, honest with me ever?
00:44:21Daisy.
00:44:24Have you missed me, Daisy?
00:44:26You?
00:44:28Well, I'll tell you about that.
00:44:30You see, it's this way, I.
00:44:36Much?
00:44:40Skunk.
00:44:42Skunk.
00:44:43Oh, what are you?
00:44:44It's a lot of nonsense, this is ridiculous.
00:44:48It's a lot of nonsense, this is ridiculous.
00:44:50We need each other, we two do.
00:44:53You think?
00:44:54Most terribly, I'm convinced of it.
00:44:56And ever worse, it's friends, you and me.
00:44:58You know, it's wicked to give that up.
00:45:00To lose anything so precious for no good reason.
00:45:03Why are you of all people for a shabby lowdown question of convention?
00:45:07Fit only to be considered by shabby lowdown...
00:45:09Oh, well, now, wait a minute.
00:45:10A hundred times I'd have given my eyes to see you, just to talk to you.
00:45:14Well, here I am.
00:45:15Daisy.
00:45:16May I come and see you just now and then?
00:45:18If you like, just now and then.
00:45:20My sweet dear, thanks.
00:45:21But no, sweet dear.
00:45:23That belongs to another life.
00:45:25Years and years and years ago.
00:45:27I see.
00:45:28There are to be rules, are there?
00:45:29One or two.
00:45:31One very definite one.
00:45:32What?
00:45:34Never secret, never hidden.
00:45:36Why should a friendship be hidden?
00:45:38What's there to hide?
00:45:39Well, it does get misunderstood.
00:45:42It can't, it won't, or the whole world's rotten.
00:45:45It's been pretty ripe for a long time, Tommy.
00:45:47Tommy?
00:45:49Oh, darling, how grand it is.
00:45:51Kiss the boy, Daisy.
00:45:53No, you've got to go.
00:45:55Why, will it take long?
00:46:00Oh, magnificent.
00:46:01All as before.
00:46:03Yes, except for one thing.
00:46:05What?
00:46:06We're not in love anymore.
00:46:08Now run.
00:46:15Oh, listen.
00:46:16How about lunch tomorrow?
00:46:17Lunch?
00:46:18Yeah.
00:46:19The old place?
00:46:20I'd love it.
00:46:21One o'clock?
00:46:22Fine.
00:46:23And let's dine at John Donovan's.
00:46:24Dine?
00:46:25Yes, he's opened a new place on 48th Street.
00:46:26All right.
00:46:27Let's see, Wednesday's the next day.
00:46:28I said I'd drive out and see Pat Atkins.
00:46:29He's been sick again.
00:46:30Oh, poor dear, I didn't know.
00:46:31He's better now.
00:46:32Come with me, Daisy.
00:46:33Oh, Wednesday.
00:46:34Come on, if it's a fine day, we'll take a picnic.
00:46:35What do you say?
00:46:36Oh, you...
00:46:37Listen, Thursday, Thursday I'm at the press all day, but Friday...
00:46:38Oh, now, wait a minute.
00:46:39You said now, didn't you?
00:46:40I'll foster in about four o'clock on Friday.
00:46:41Will you be here?
00:46:42Oh, I suppose so.
00:46:43Goodbye then, darling.
00:46:44Till tomorrow?
00:46:45Tomorrow.
00:46:46What about this afternoon?
00:46:47This afternoon?
00:46:48Yes, what about...
00:46:49How about a cocktail at Jean's place at five o'clock?
00:46:50Oh, all right.
00:46:51All right then.
00:46:52Goodbye then.
00:46:53Goodbye.
00:46:54Sweet dear.
00:46:55Five o'clock.
00:46:56Ten minutes to five.
00:46:57Frank.
00:47:02Frank.
00:47:07Ten minutes to five.
00:47:22Frank!
00:47:31Daisy, what is it? You frighten me.
00:47:33Frank, I'm scared. Come here.
00:47:37But, Daisy, wait!
00:47:38Oh, Frank, don't ask any questions. I need your help.
00:47:41I know you can hold your tongue, Frank.
00:47:42Well, what is not my business?
00:47:43It's time. I'm going away, a long way away.
00:47:47I love him, Frank. I love him more than I ever did.
00:47:50But think, Daisy. Wait. Are you wise?
00:47:52I'm going alone.
00:47:53Yes, that is wise.
00:47:54And nobody to know where I've gone either.
00:47:56No, of course not.
00:47:57No mess, Frank. It's to avoid when I'm going.
00:48:00But compose yourself, Daisy. Be calm.
00:48:02Oh, I can't.
00:48:03Does he love you?
00:48:04I don't know.
00:48:06I don't think he knows.
00:48:09Oh, Frank, he's so slim and brown and sandy.
00:48:12Now, snap out of it, Daisy.
00:48:13He'll always be like that. I know he will.
00:48:15Even when he's old.
00:48:17A funny way he stands, so sort of stiff with his feet turned out.
00:48:21What they call duck-footed, eh?
00:48:24No, certainly not.
00:48:26It's a perfectly natural way to stand.
00:48:29Of course, it's a fine, strong way to stand.
00:48:31Yes, I know. But don't forget your watercolors.
00:48:33Huh?
00:48:35Frank.
00:48:36Maybe if I wait.
00:48:38Maybe I'd better see him once more and explain to him...
00:48:40Daisy, if you want to go at all, you must go tonight.
00:48:44Yes, I guess you're right.
00:48:46Come along. Come.
00:48:48Yes, now in here. Help me.
00:48:56And look.
00:48:57Yes?
00:48:58You know that painting with the doorstep?
00:48:59The one with the milk bottles, number seven?
00:49:01Yes, my dear.
00:49:02Will you wrap it up and take it to him for me with my love?
00:49:06Take it?
00:49:07Oh, yes, yes. You're having cocktails with him at Jean's in one hour.
00:49:10At five o'clock.
00:49:15Five o'clock?
00:49:16Ten minutes to five.
00:49:21And Frank.
00:49:22Yes, darling?
00:49:23When you see him, kiss him for me.
00:49:25What?
00:49:28Kiss him for me.
00:49:30Kiss him, Frank.
00:49:35Daisy.
00:50:00Hello.
00:50:02How are you?
00:50:04How do you do?
00:50:06Glad to see you.
00:50:09Grab yourself a chair. I'll tell the missus you're here.
00:50:11You're too kind.
00:50:13Ain't seen you since I've been back.
00:50:15No.
00:50:16Been back a month. Gee, it's swell.
00:50:18I daresay.
00:50:20I'll tell the missus you're here.
00:50:22You're too kind.
00:50:23Ain't seen you since I've been back.
00:50:25No.
00:50:26Been back a month. Gee, it's swell.
00:50:28I daresay.
00:50:30Yeah.
00:50:33Will you have some tea, Father?
00:50:35No, thank you, my dear. No, thank you.
00:50:38By the way, his birthday is on the 23rd.
00:50:41I think it would be well to have it a surprise party.
00:50:44Have all his old friends.
00:50:46Give him a chance to realize he's outgrown them.
00:50:49And I hope you may be able to persuade him to move into town with me this winter.
00:50:53Must be uncomfortable for you out here.
00:50:56I'd so love being in town with you.
00:50:58But you know how Tom feels.
00:51:04I'm very contented here.
00:51:06There's something besides contentment.
00:51:09Of course.
00:51:13How did that Desperado Regan get back here?
00:51:17Oh, Tom ran into him somewhere.
00:51:19Seems a new job didn't pan out.
00:51:21Regan was ill.
00:51:22So Tom asked if he might bring him back.
00:51:24I said he might.
00:51:25Well, why not just give him something?
00:51:27Anything to get rid of him.
00:51:28Don't worry about it, Father.
00:51:30I'll work it out somehow.
00:51:31I have the greatest confidence in you, my dear.
00:51:36Well, I guess I must be getting back to town.
00:51:40Goodbye.
00:51:41Goodbye.
00:51:43Operator?
00:51:44Long distance?
00:51:46I want to get the number of Miss Daisy Sage in New York.
00:51:51Yeah?
00:51:53Just a minute.
00:51:54Connecticut calling you.
00:52:02This is Miss Sage.
00:52:03Oh, yes, Miss Sage.
00:52:05Allow me to introduce myself.
00:52:07I am Mrs. Thomas Collier.
00:52:09Mrs. Thomas Collier?
00:52:13I'm so sorry we haven't met.
00:52:15Oh, isn't it a shame?
00:52:16All of Tom's friends hereabouts are so regretted not knowing you.
00:52:21I called to tell you his father and I are giving a surprise party for him here on the 23rd.
00:52:27You possibly remember it's his birthday.
00:52:30Why, no, I, uh...
00:52:32We'd so love having you and Miss Schmidt and Mr. Fisk for the party.
00:52:36And if possible, spend the night.
00:52:38The 23rd?
00:52:40Oh, now, isn't that too bad?
00:52:42Oh, I'm terribly sorry, but I just couldn't possibly make it on the 23rd.
00:52:47Oh, I'm frightfully disappointed.
00:52:50We must try again sometime.
00:52:52Soon.
00:52:54Yes.
00:52:55Goodbye.
00:53:02Now, what was that?
00:53:04What?
00:53:05Mrs. Thomas. Thomas, mind you, Collier.
00:53:09Wants to know if I won't surprise her, surprise Tom on his birthday and spend the night with him in the country.
00:53:15She's going to ask you and Frank, too.
00:53:17And what did you say?
00:53:18You heard me, didn't you?
00:53:20Look, Daisy, ever since your trip to Nova Scotia, you've made Tom feel that you don't want to see him.
00:53:25And so he's cut himself off from, well, from all of us.
00:53:29He's only trying to do what he thinks you wish.
00:53:31Well, I don't propose...
00:53:34Mrs. Thomas Collier invited me down there for some very good reason of her own.
00:53:38Well, don't take it out on Tom.
00:53:40I think it'll do him a lot of good.
00:53:41He needs it.
00:53:43He needs us.
00:53:44Well, if he's so weak...
00:53:45Oh, he isn't.
00:53:46Just bewildered.
00:53:48If he could get back just now and then with the right people, it might help him get a decent point of view again.
00:53:54Oh, Joe, I love that boy.
00:53:57With all my heart.
00:53:58Then don't go.
00:54:02I would like to find out if something I think is true is true.
00:54:08I certainly would.
00:54:14May I look up the number for you, Miss Sage?
00:54:17Oh, thank you so much, Mr. Fisk.
00:54:19I think that by making a tremendous effort, I may be able to recall it.
00:54:25Long distance, please.
00:54:31Brandy, ma'am.
00:54:39How about some backgammon?
00:54:41Oh, fine.
00:54:46Hi, Red.
00:54:47No, thanks.
00:54:48Yes, thanks.
00:54:56The boss has got you reading this new book.
00:54:58Uh-huh.
00:54:59Forget it. Join the party.
00:55:00You might get some laughs.
00:55:02Oh, it's a nice party.
00:55:03Not like we used to have, though.
00:55:05Shh.
00:55:06I don't know hardly anybody here.
00:55:08Don't you, Red?
00:55:11Oh, Red, why don't you get Tom to introduce you?
00:55:20Well, of course, I know very little about music, but I know what I like.
00:55:24That's for the boss.
00:55:26Oh, sorry.
00:55:31We are so anxious to hear you play, Miss Schmidt.
00:55:33I'm sure you're better than the radio.
00:55:35But I didn't bring my cello.
00:55:37Oh, what a pity.
00:55:38Perhaps we could get one.
00:55:40She's used to her own fiddle.
00:55:44Yes, but is there any difference?
00:55:46Yes, I suppose there is.
00:55:48Yeah.
00:55:49Look what baby brought you.
00:55:55Well, he is quaint.
00:55:57Indeed.
00:55:58He devastates me.
00:56:00Armibopain
00:56:05War Boys leap to centre of the ring.
00:56:06They stand at jazz.
00:56:07We put ourselves at gun point
00:56:10We look for the peel.
00:56:11Miller pears back, directions right to left.
00:56:13Morgan hunts fence.
00:56:15Morgan hooks his left and shoots a shot.
00:56:17Morgan is against the rope.
00:56:19Morgan comes off the rope like a tiger.
00:56:22Morgan closes his eyes.
00:56:24Miller pears in.
00:56:25Rings to Morgan's body, the glitch.
00:56:29But it's a swell fight time.
00:56:30I'll tell you.
00:56:31Now the clinch.
00:56:32Then a Russian bargain again.
00:56:33Poster on the left, right.
00:56:38Listen, you're a pretty good actor.
00:56:40Try and act like a butler, will you?
00:56:42Right, sir.
00:56:43I knows me place, sir.
00:56:45Don't lay it on, Meadows.
00:56:47Oh, no, sir.
00:56:49Say, how does it feel to be 32, baby?
00:56:53Sir?
00:56:54I'm bearing up.
00:57:00Brandy, sir?
00:57:01Thank you, sir.
00:57:02No, thanks.
00:57:03Try it.
00:57:04I did.
00:57:05The results were very satisfactory.
00:57:07No, thank you.
00:57:09Get out.
00:57:11Get out.
00:57:13Very good, sir.
00:57:18Oh, Joe.
00:57:20Hmm?
00:57:22This is awful tripe.
00:57:24What?
00:57:26This rotten egg about to be laid by the Bantam Press.
00:57:33Yeah, I know.
00:57:35But it'll make money.
00:57:38Is that all he ever thinks about nowadays?
00:57:40Apparently so.
00:57:42I have an idea he thinks he's doing me a favor, publishing my book.
00:57:45Oh, he doesn't.
00:57:46He couldn't.
00:57:47Well, he kind of gave us the works at dinner.
00:57:49Well, I imagine he rather gathered we didn't approve of him.
00:57:52We don't.
00:57:54We don't.
00:57:56Gotta do something about it, Joe.
00:57:58Yeah, but...
00:58:01He kind of hinted that he might hook up with those pirates, Williams and Warren.
00:58:04Oh, no.
00:58:05Yes.
00:58:20Why do you suppose she asked us out here anyway?
00:58:23Just to prove we don't belong?
00:58:25Oh, she isn't a bad sort.
00:58:27You know, I had quite a long talk with her tonight.
00:58:29She seems like a very nice, attractive woman.
00:58:32Hmm.
00:58:33So did Delilah.
00:58:35Yeah, so did Delilah.
00:58:36Ah, Miss Sage, we were wondering where you were.
00:58:39Hmm.
00:58:40Hello there, Mr. Fisk.
00:58:42I suppose you've made a good plot tonight.
00:58:44A plot?
00:58:45Hmm.
00:58:46Uh, did I make any plots tonight?
00:58:47Any...
00:58:48Oh, no, not so far as I know.
00:58:50Well, I mean for your new novel.
00:58:52Oh, yes.
00:58:53Oh, I know you writer men.
00:58:55I bet you're going to use us all for characters.
00:58:57Oh, that's a very good idea.
00:58:59Thanks.
00:59:00Come on, everyone's playing games in the dining room.
00:59:02Oh, I'm still reading this thing.
00:59:04Oh.
00:59:05Isn't it too divine?
00:59:06I think it's going to be a sensation.
00:59:08I'm practically a collaborator, aren't I, Tom?
00:59:10Yes, Grace is my reaction agent.
00:59:12She submits to tests.
00:59:13I love to.
00:59:15Yeah, she's my little guinea pig.
00:59:19Uh, shall we go and play backgammon, Mr. Fisk?
00:59:21Oh, yes, I'd love to.
00:59:26Well, how are you getting on with the book?
00:59:28Look, is this on the Bantam's new list you told me to wait for?
00:59:31Don't you like it?
00:59:33Well, it seems awfully...
00:59:35bright.
00:59:37Bright things seem to sell.
00:59:39Yes.
00:59:40Look at those great publishers, Williams and Warren.
00:59:42They sell millions of copies...
00:59:44in drugstores.
00:59:47What difference does it make where they sell them?
00:59:50None.
00:59:53Except...
00:59:54if you want to keep your integrity, you...
00:59:57well, you can't go in for mass production, can you?
01:00:00I mean, you can't just become a...
01:00:03a little cog in the big machinery.
01:00:05Can you?
01:00:07Well, don't let's argue about that.
01:00:09Oh, why not?
01:00:10Daisy, listen, I want to say...
01:00:11Never mind, never mind.
01:00:12I just shouldn't have said anything at all until I'd read it through.
01:00:15That book will make money.
01:00:16Money?
01:00:17Is that so awfully important?
01:00:19I haven't got any, but you know...
01:00:21I feel quite all right.
01:00:25Well, you're not a married man.
01:00:29No.
01:00:31No, I suppose that does make a difference.
01:00:35Well, Daisy, please read the thing through...
01:00:37and give me your opinion.
01:00:39I...
01:00:40I'm not quite sure about it.
01:00:42You will, won't you?
01:00:44Oh, yes, Tom.
01:00:45And...
01:00:47And...
01:00:48And just bear in mind that...
01:00:51well, you can't please everybody.
01:01:12Why did she come?
01:01:14Who?
01:01:15That woman.
01:01:16Oh, I thought you asked her.
01:01:18First she said she couldn't...
01:01:19and then she telephoned back she would.
01:01:22Well.
01:01:25Oh, I'm not the least bit jealous anymore.
01:01:28In fact, I'm inclined to like her.
01:01:31That's big of you, see.
01:01:34I suppose that Joe is one of hers, too.
01:01:37How do you mean?
01:01:39Oh, sweet innocent.
01:01:41No, how's that?
01:01:42I should think you'd know by now...
01:01:44that she was just a promiscuous little...
01:01:48Oh, well.
01:01:51You're a strange girl, see.
01:01:53And a pretty cruel one, too.
01:01:56Not at all.
01:01:58In fact...
01:01:59I don't see why Tom and she shouldn't be just as good friends as...
01:02:03well, as you and I are.
01:02:06Their history is a little different.
01:02:09Why?
01:02:10Don't you like our history?
01:02:12What, the resolved?
01:02:14Trifle uneventful, don't you think?
01:02:17Or shall we simply call it...
01:02:19lacking in excitement?
01:02:29You've been so strange lately.
01:02:32So remote.
01:02:34I wasn't aware of it.
01:02:37Refusing to help us sell Tom's press to Williamson Warren.
01:02:42But Tom...
01:02:44Tom doesn't want to be helped.
01:02:48I do.
01:02:55Good heavens, darling, I've told you a dozen times...
01:02:57I'm counsel for them.
01:02:59So they do exactly as you tell them.
01:03:02Dang it all, see.
01:03:03Tom doesn't want to sell the band.
01:03:06He doesn't know what he wants.
01:03:08Just one little word from you.
01:03:11Well, you know, there's a thing called legal ethics.
01:03:14There's a thing called friendship.
01:03:19Owen.
01:03:23Lacking in excitement, you said.
01:03:25For you?
01:03:26For you, I meant.
01:03:29And I suppose you're the judge of that, too.
01:03:31Well, I don't know who else.
01:03:34And of course you couldn't possibly be wrong.
01:03:37Could I?
01:03:39And I'm not a human being at all.
01:03:41Of course.
01:03:43See, see.
01:03:45You will do this one thing for me.
01:03:47Just one word to Williamson Warren.
01:03:54Owen.
01:03:58Yes.
01:04:01You darling.
01:04:04Come in.
01:04:10Oh, Miss Sage.
01:04:12Owen and I have been discussing something that might interest you.
01:04:15He's promised to use his influence to have Williamson Warren take over the Bantam Press.
01:04:19Isn't that splendid?
01:04:21Did Tom...
01:04:23Well, is it all settled?
01:04:25Owen's arranged it.
01:04:27You see, he's their lawyer.
01:04:29Isn't that nice of him?
01:04:30Well, if there's any credit due, I'm sure it's Cecilia's.
01:04:33Oh, yes, I'm sure it is.
01:04:36Will you excuse me?
01:04:38I was just looking for Miss Schmidt.
01:04:47Frank.
01:04:48Joe.
01:04:54Look, do you mind going in tonight?
01:04:57But why, David?
01:04:58We were supposed to spend the night.
01:04:59Yes, I know we were, but I've just got to get out of this house.
01:05:02Oh, but David...
01:05:03No, we are going.
01:05:04Get your things together.
01:05:06Okay.
01:05:07Okay, gee, just when the party's getting good.
01:05:16Uh-uh.
01:05:27So sorry, Mrs. Collier.
01:05:28It just can't be helped.
01:05:30Are you ready, Joe?
01:05:31Yes.
01:05:32Goodbye, thank you very much.
01:05:33Goodbye, Tom.
01:05:34Goodbye.
01:05:36I must say, your leaving seems very strange.
01:05:38We've so loved having you.
01:05:40You were very kind to ask us.
01:05:41Goodbye, Tom.
01:05:42Goodbye.
01:05:43Goodbye, Mrs. Collier.
01:05:44Goodbye.
01:05:45Come again when you can really stay.
01:05:47I'll see you about the car.
01:05:49Well, all so solemn.
01:05:53Sorry you don't like my friends.
01:05:55You're...
01:05:56They are, however.
01:05:57Sorry you don't like the book I'm publishing.
01:06:00Tom, I pity you with all my heart.
01:06:03Pity me?
01:06:05What are you talking about?
01:06:07I came to find out and I found out.
01:06:10Now I'm going.
01:06:11Found out what?
01:06:12Pity me why?
01:06:14Do you mind?
01:06:18Daisy, I...
01:06:22Give us a kiss, Daisy.
01:06:24Hey, Daisy.
01:06:26Hurry up or we'll miss the train.
01:06:28Come on, here's your coat.
01:06:29Get in.
01:06:30You must give us a ring sometime, Tom.
01:06:32Right.
01:06:33I'll wait for you outside.
01:06:40Goodbye, Tom.
01:06:44Once I wouldn't say it, would I?
01:06:46Once you wouldn't.
01:06:48Well, goodbye.
01:06:55This time you do.
01:06:58Goodbye.
01:07:17Good night, my dear.
01:07:19Had a lovely time.
01:07:21Bless you.
01:07:22Good night, Tom.
01:07:23Good night, Father.
01:07:30Goodbye, Father.
01:07:40Will?
01:07:42Oh, yes.
01:07:52Why you declined to spend the winter in town with your father is...
01:07:55Is what?
01:07:56You must simply wish to be disagreeable.
01:07:58That isn't true.
01:07:59Oh, come on, see.
01:08:00Now, let's forget it.
01:08:01As if that were so easy.
01:08:02And I suppose you refuse to sell the press,
01:08:04even if Williams and Warren are willing to pay twice what it's worth.
01:08:07I don't... I don't know.
01:08:09Can't we talk about something else tonight?
01:08:12I'm afraid not.
01:08:22Oh, hello, Steve.
01:08:49You're frightfully late, darling.
01:08:52I stopped at the Bantam.
01:08:53What made you do that, silly?
01:08:55I don't know.
01:08:56I just wanted to think.
01:08:59Try to clear my mind of the vision of millions and millions of cheap books.
01:09:04Williamson's recital of the glories of the machine age.
01:09:07So I stopped at the press.
01:09:09Everything went all right, didn't it?
01:09:11Oh, yes, perfect.
01:09:12In fact, it's settled.
01:09:14Not already.
01:09:15Yes, they've signed.
01:09:17All I have to do now is dig up a notary in the village
01:09:20and write my name under theirs.
01:09:23Oh, Tom.
01:09:25Are you pleased?
01:09:26Aren't you?
01:09:28I don't know.
01:09:29I think something's happened to my nervous system.
01:09:32I feel awfully light.
01:09:33Of course.
01:09:34You're famished, darling.
01:09:36Come and eat.
01:09:39Would you like to eat in my sitting room?
01:09:41All right.
01:09:42I'll call Reagan.
01:09:46Steve.
01:09:47Yes, Steve.
01:09:49I think it's time we had a child or two, Steve.
01:09:54We'll talk about that.
01:09:57We must.
01:10:10You're all ready, Tom?
01:10:16I thought it would be so cozy us dining here.
01:10:23What's the matter?
01:10:26It's funny.
01:10:27You know, lighted this way, it reminds me of someplace.
01:10:31What place?
01:10:33I don't know.
01:10:36Champagne, is it?
01:10:37I thought you'd feel like celebrating.
01:10:39Well, well.
01:10:41A little wine won't hurt you.
01:10:43The little more and how much it is.
01:10:46Fill them, Mr. Reagan.
01:10:55Infinite riches in a little room.
01:10:58You've got the quotes badly.
01:10:59The little lamb who made thee.
01:11:01Reagan, dost thou know who made thee?
01:11:08What is it it reminds me of?
01:11:12And a little more, old son.
01:11:28The discreet withdrawal.
01:11:31I've seen that before, too.
01:11:34I know the Florentine.
01:11:36A private room at the Florentine.
01:11:38What's that?
01:11:39It's a sort of hotel.
01:11:42Run by a woman called Flora Conover.
01:11:44Sounds wicked.
01:11:45Yeah, used to be the best place in London.
01:11:48Place?
01:11:49What sort of place?
01:11:50Twenty guineas.
01:11:52Twenty guineas?
01:11:55On the mantelpiece.
01:11:58What are you talking about?
01:11:59In advance of that.
01:12:02Rather expensive, wasn't it?
01:12:04Well, one went to Flora's to celebrate.
01:12:06And the food was good.
01:12:07The waiter discreet.
01:12:08The wine excellent.
01:12:09The lady most artful.
01:12:14I don't care to hear about it, thank you.
01:12:16See, your eyes are so bright.
01:12:19Eat you.
01:12:21You're seeing things.
01:12:24See?
01:12:25Yes, dear.
01:12:26You know, a little love is no love.
01:12:29Meaning what, precisely?
01:12:32It wasn't necessary to lock your door against me last night.
01:12:35But I didn't.
01:12:36I mean, not against.
01:12:37Then why?
01:12:39Tell me instantly why it was.
01:12:41Is that an order?
01:12:42Tell me.
01:12:43You mean, why I didn't want you near me?
01:12:45Yes.
01:12:47You've been so consistently disagreeable, that's all.
01:12:49About what?
01:12:50Wanting Regan back?
01:12:51That's one thing.
01:12:52Well, what else then?
01:12:53Your father, chiefly.
01:12:54Ah.
01:13:02What are you going to do about your birthday check, Tom?
01:13:06What?
01:13:07Oh, that.
01:13:09Well, I...
01:13:11I don't know whether to send it back or just not to cash it.
01:13:14Of course, you simply can't allow yourself to show any graciousness toward him.
01:13:18No.
01:13:20As a way of telling you how pleased with you he is,
01:13:22he gives you a small check and you have the extraordinary bad taste...
01:13:26What?
01:13:28Good heavens.
01:13:30I can't believe it.
01:13:31There it is.
01:13:33There isn't that much money in the world.
01:13:35In father's world there is.
01:13:37He fears he can afford it to get us to come and live with him.
01:13:40Of course, I can't understand your attitude about that either.
01:13:43Can't you see?
01:13:44No.
01:13:45He knows how inconvenient it is here in the winter,
01:13:47and having that great, huge, lovely house and town is perfectly sweet and natural of him to ask us...
01:13:52Well, to ask...
01:13:54Yes, you, to preside night after night at his deadly dinners.
01:13:57Me, to listen eternally to his Delphic advice on what to do and how to live.
01:14:01To give up what little integrity I have left.
01:14:04In short, to allow him to own us.
01:14:06Of course, he's willing to pay.
01:14:08He always is.
01:14:17How you can be so hard about him, I don't know.
01:14:19My way of thinking, if a person can't...
01:14:21Oh, let's drop it, see.
01:14:23Very well, we shall.
01:14:28Now you've gone from me again.
01:14:30Lord, you care.
01:14:32Oh, sea, my lovely sea, where are you?
01:14:34What's become of you?
01:14:36The thing you call your integrity.
01:14:38That's the word.
01:14:43You see, it's no use talking.
01:14:47This is what you call being disagreeable, I suppose.
01:14:49Yes, very.
01:14:50But how to be otherwise, then?
01:14:52Possibly by being the father.
01:14:54Yes, very.
01:14:55But how to be otherwise, then?
01:14:57Possibly by being the fine, kind, generous man you ought to be.
01:15:00Accept the check with thanks and go and live with him.
01:15:03It's only for a few months.
01:15:05I think to refuse his present would be extremely bad manners.
01:15:08Just about in a class with those of your little ex-sweetheart.
01:15:15Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean...
01:15:17Never mind.
01:15:20Sea.
01:15:24Suppose I should do as you say about father.
01:15:27Oh, Tom.
01:15:30Do be the darling I know you are.
01:15:32Would you like me better?
01:15:34Much.
01:15:36How much?
01:15:37Oh, very much.
01:15:39No locked doors anymore?
01:15:42Not one ever.
01:15:45Not one ever.
01:15:48Sounds most inviting.
01:15:50Does it?
01:15:52And suddenly I'm beginning to see with an awful clearness.
01:15:56What?
01:15:58How stupid you've been.
01:16:00And what I am to you.
01:16:03Yes.
01:16:06So you are going to be nice again?
01:16:08You'll see.
01:16:10Oh, I want so to feel...
01:16:12I don't know...
01:16:14Together again.
01:16:16As we used to be.
01:16:19You're very pretty, you know.
01:16:21Oh, thank you, sir.
01:16:23Very exciting, too.
01:16:25I don't know whether it's you or the wine speaking.
01:16:27Oh, me. Through the wine.
01:16:29Shall we have a little more?
01:16:31I think so.
01:16:32It's a party, then.
01:16:34It's a party.
01:16:35We'll have another small bottle.
01:16:38There's some here.
01:16:44Sometimes you're so thrilling, Tom.
01:16:46You think?
01:16:48We shouldn't. You know we shouldn't.
01:16:50But we seem to be.
01:16:54All at once...
01:16:56I feel terribly naughty somehow.
01:16:59You know, I suppose you're one of the most...
01:17:01The prettiest girls I've ever seen.
01:17:03So nice of you to think so, sir.
01:17:05So very attractive.
01:17:07I like to be attractive.
01:17:09So very...
01:17:11Alluring.
01:17:13There, that's enough.
01:17:14You're a strange woman.
01:17:16Your lips drop honeycomb.
01:17:18Your mouth is smoother than oil.
01:17:20Now what are you quoting?
01:17:24Ah, the discreet waiter returns.
01:17:27Come in.
01:17:31Give the lady some, waiter.
01:17:43You can leave the bottle on the table.
01:17:47That'll be all.
01:17:54To the pleasant ways of life.
01:17:57Such pleasant ways.
01:18:02It's good, isn't it?
01:18:05I'm beginning to feel it a little.
01:18:07Well, that's what it's for, eh?
01:18:09It must be.
01:18:11Champagne, the friend of lovers.
01:18:16No.
01:18:18Not yet.
01:18:20Artful child.
01:18:22You think?
01:18:24Lovely, alluring thing.
01:18:27I like you too now.
01:18:29It's pleasant here, isn't it?
01:18:31So pleasant.
01:18:35But you're not taking any.
01:18:37No.
01:18:38It makes me see almost too clearly.
01:18:41Oh.
01:18:42Take a little more.
01:18:44And everything will get so...
01:18:46So lovely and vague.
01:18:49In the way I feel now.
01:18:52A good feeling, is it?
01:18:54Delicious.
01:18:58Oh, Tom.
01:19:02One last toast.
01:19:06Do we dare?
01:19:09Come on.
01:19:13But to what?
01:19:16What to?
01:19:18You name it.
01:19:20To love.
01:19:32And darling?
01:19:34Yes?
01:19:36You are going to be an angel about things, aren't you?
01:19:41You'll see.
01:19:43I knew you would.
01:19:45I'm so happy.
01:19:50I want you close to me.
01:20:01Don't be long.
01:20:31Come in.
01:20:43Come in.
01:20:47See here, Red, I...
01:20:48Never mind.
01:20:50All I mean is...
01:20:52Well, I'm out for good this time.
01:20:54Why?
01:20:55I just don't like it here, that's all.
01:20:58When do you want to go?
01:21:00When I can.
01:21:02Tonight, then?
01:21:03That's all right with me.
01:21:05I'm packed.
01:21:07Wait downstairs.
01:21:11Oh, Red.
01:21:13Have you got a fountain pen?
01:21:19Thanks.
01:21:21Don't let me forget to return it.
01:21:30Thanks.
01:22:00On the mantelpiece.
01:22:31Oh, here you are, Red.
01:22:38Thanks.
01:22:40Well, goodbye.
01:22:44Go and get in the car.
01:22:46I can walk to the train, all right.
01:22:48Bring my hat and coat.
01:22:53Will you bring my hat and coat, please?
01:22:56Will you bring my hat and coat, please?
01:23:19What's the idea?
01:23:21Night, please.
01:23:26Night.
01:23:38Now, then.
01:23:40I can walk, I tell you.
01:23:41Not at all. We'll drive in.
01:23:43We will?
01:23:45I'm going back to my wife, Red.
01:23:47To your...
01:23:53My wife, I said.
01:23:56My wife, I said.
