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