The story follows Sir Gerald Courtney, an aristocrat concerned about his son Russell’s reckless lifestyle. To prevent Russell from falling into the clutches of a gold-digger, Sir Gerald hires June, a destitute young woman, to distract him. However, complications arise when June falls in love with Sir Gerald instead. As tensions build, a dramatic confrontation leads to unexpected consequences. The film is noted for its risqué themes, characteristic of pre-Code Hollywood.

00:03:46Dobbs? Really? You're downright Victorian. You must have cocktails, Dobbs. Cocktails.
00:03:59Not cocktails, sir.
00:04:02Yes. Now, don't tell me that it isn't British. You're deplorably behind the times.
00:04:09I drink them myself. And what's more, I can mix them. Mix is the word.
00:04:16They tell me they even put ice in them in America.
00:04:20Yes, well, I don't think we'll go quite that far.
00:04:33Won't do it, darling. I don't fancy freezing my dainty shape while you ask Papa permission to come out and play.
00:04:39Back in a tick, Berthine.
00:04:46It's mine, Dobbs. Not a word that we haven't seen him for a fortnight.
00:05:04Well, Russell, my boy. Welcome to the family heart.
00:05:07Hello, Father. Nasty night out, eh?
00:05:10What a fog. Thicker than mutton broth.
00:05:13Hello, Dobbs. How's the old aches and twinges this weather?
00:05:16Thank you, sir.
00:05:17Awfully nice of you, my boy, to dare the fog, just for an evening with your aged male parents.
00:05:23There's nothing I'd like better.
00:05:25Meanwhile, what price a cocktail?
00:05:27Yes, Dobbs was shocked at that.
00:05:29Dobbs? Where's the old training?
00:05:32Take Mr. Russell's coat and hat.
00:05:38You're surprised, aren't you, that I know about Parkville.
00:05:41You know, I learned from a barman at the Savoy.
00:05:45He used to live in Chicago.
00:05:47Allow me.
00:05:48Thanks, Dobbs, but don't bother. I've got to be popping off directly.
00:05:51You're not stopping for dinner, then?
00:06:01I'm terribly sorry, Father, but when I promised you to come, I overlooked another engagement.
00:06:07Well, it's quite all right, of course.
00:06:12Only I'd hoped, uh, well, it can't be helped, can it?
00:06:19I mean to say one does have other engagements, of course.
00:06:23I know it seems fairly awful.
00:06:25Let's have luncheon together tomorrow.
00:06:28We'll have a good old-fashioned reunion.
00:06:31And you can scold me in a good old-fashioned way.
00:06:37Meanwhile, as you suggest, what price the merry old cocktail?
00:06:41Gentlemen, I give you Sir Gerald Courtney, my father, and a jolly good sportsman.
00:06:54Mmm, I say, you do know something about cocktails.
00:06:58Was that chap from Chicago, did you say?
00:07:00Uh, one of the survivors.
00:07:02One of the survivors.
00:07:04You know, that's a fruity joke.
00:07:06Is your engagement tonight with, uh...
00:07:09Uh, uh, save the scolding for tomorrow.
00:07:12Like a good fellow.
00:07:14Won't you?
00:07:18I wish we could talk things out together, my boy.
00:07:21Tomorrow!
00:07:22At luncheon.
00:07:23We'll both make after-dinner speeches.
00:07:30Right.
00:07:31Tomorrow, then.
00:07:32One o'clock.
00:07:33Prompto.
00:07:39Uh, and now I'll be toddling along, sir.
00:07:41If you don't mind.
00:07:43Good night, father.
00:07:44Good night, my boy.
00:07:49Mind the fog.
00:07:50Right you are.
00:07:51It was more like a tick and a half.
00:08:04Did Papa let his little boy come out to play with bad little girls?
00:08:08Chuck it, Berthine.
00:08:09To the pigeon pie, old chum, and don't spare the carburetor.
00:08:21What?
00:08:22Did everybody say,
00:08:23hotel comes too fast.
00:08:24Can I push her?
00:08:25One o'clock again...
00:08:26For people to the SANAA reach GHSI?
00:08:27Don't pay attention now, I'm making them we can relax.
00:08:29No problem.
00:08:30Hong Stay!
00:08:31Watch.
00:08:32You never quit.
00:08:33We'reению.
00:08:34Jeanne le!
00:08:35Hallo!
00:08:42It gets soазыв auctioned.
00:08:44It's a whole grassérieuy!
00:08:46There you go!
00:08:49I wonder what to do with bel testimonian?
00:08:50Oh, please, they're after me.
00:09:19I'll explain later.
00:09:23My dear girl, we were worried about you camping about in this fog.
00:09:28Why on earth didn't you take a taxi?
00:09:30Yes, well, officers, what is it?
00:09:33Come, come, what's all this about?
00:09:35You see, sir, we thought she was a...
00:09:37We thought, my lord, that she...
00:09:40That is, we thought, I mean...
00:09:42We thought that she got lost in the fog, didn't we, Albert?
00:09:45Oh, yes, lost in the fog.
00:09:47That's what we thought.
00:09:48My niece, lost in the little mist.
00:09:51Not this young lady.
00:09:52However, my dear, you should have taken a taxi.
00:09:55If you'd telephoned, we'd have sent the car for you.
00:09:57Hurry now, get out of this wet coat.
00:09:59Dobbs has kept dinner waiting, and you know Dobbs.
00:10:02Good old Dobbs.
00:10:04Yes, quite so, good old Dobbs.
00:10:06Thanks so much.
00:10:07Wouldn't have troubled you for worlds.
00:10:12Good night, officers.
00:10:13You've been commendably vigilant.
00:10:15Good night.
00:10:15Thank you, sir.
00:10:18His niece, Sir Gerald Courtney's niece.
00:10:22And us, thinking there was nothing but a...
00:10:24Shh!
00:10:25Stow that, Albert.
00:10:26Stow it, mate.
00:10:31Better rest a moment.
00:10:33Rather, if you don't mind.
00:10:35Just until Albert and his pal clear off.
00:10:37Sit down here.
00:10:46I knew my purse leaked, but rain is the only thing that ever leaked into it.
00:10:52Try one of these.
00:10:53Probably give me the gout after these gusts as I'm used to.
00:10:56Oh, blimey.
00:10:57A short life and a merry one.
00:10:58Yes.
00:10:59I know my purse leaked, but rain is the only thing that ever leaked into it.
00:11:01I know my purse leaked, but rain is the only thing that ever leaked into it.
00:11:04Try one of these.
00:11:05Probably give me the gout after these gusts as I'm used to.
00:11:10Oh, blimey.
00:11:11A short life and a merry one.
00:11:12Yes.
00:11:13No use trying to thank you.
00:11:30It was wonderfully sporting of you to take a chance on me.
00:11:33A stranger, off the streets.
00:11:36Oh, I see.
00:11:37That's rather an ugly way of putting it.
00:11:39Off the streets.
00:11:41Why did you do it?
00:11:43Well, you look lonely and a bit frightened.
00:11:47And it just happens that I am, too.
00:11:50You, lonely and scared.
00:11:52Yes.
00:11:54That's about as true as that I'm your niece.
00:11:56Rougher neat, wasn't it, that thought about the niece?
00:11:58And good old Dobbs.
00:11:59Well, Dobbs is a fact.
00:12:00Oh, quite a fact.
00:12:02Ah, Dobbs himself.
00:12:04I simply can't believe it.
00:12:06Word of honor.
00:12:08Is, uh, dinosaur Dobbs?
00:12:10Yes, sir.
00:12:11Mm-hmm.
00:12:13Oh, but, uh, but you're not going.
00:12:16Have you forgotten that we waited dinner for you?
00:12:20Albert and his friend will be gone by now.
00:12:23Oh, but I, I mean it, really.
00:12:26I want you to stay.
00:12:30In a way, you know, you rather owe it to me.
00:12:35Will you?
00:12:37Why not?
00:12:38Why not, indeed.
00:12:40You, uh, hear what the young lady says, Dobbs?
00:12:43Why not, sir?
00:12:44Uh, quite.
00:12:46And you might just give us a hand here.
00:12:49Let me help you with that coat, niece.
00:12:52Thank you, uncle.
00:12:54You've been disappointed, haven't you?
00:13:04I?
00:13:05Oh, not a bit of it.
00:13:06You fit perfectly.
00:13:07Really.
00:13:08I don't mean me.
00:13:23Fish and chips is more my style.
00:13:26But I mean the lady you were expecting to dinner.
00:13:30But I wasn't expecting a lady.
00:13:34No, really.
00:13:36As a matter of fact, I was expecting a man.
00:13:40A young man that I'm rather fond of.
00:13:43You have to take it.
00:13:45Go and pick her up.
00:13:47Go and pick her up.
00:13:48Go and pick her up.
00:13:48Go and pick her up.
00:13:50Oh, wait a minute.
00:13:50Oh, hey, hey.
00:13:50What?
00:13:51What?
00:13:51Freddy.
00:13:52Freddy.
00:13:53Freddy.
00:13:53Oh, wait a minute.
00:13:54Steve.
00:13:54Oh, wait a minute.
00:13:54Oh, Freddy.
00:13:55Come on.
00:13:56Oh, what?
00:13:56Oh, what?
00:13:57Oh, what?
00:13:58Oh, it's a fight.
00:13:59Oh, oh, Ruffalo.
00:14:00Oh, no, no.
00:14:02Come on, boy.
00:14:02Oh, boy.
00:14:03Hey, hey.
00:14:04Time for your drops, old girl.
00:14:06Don't be ridiculous. Never gave the old governor a second thought.
00:14:16Like a shot. No sooner said than done.
00:14:18Good old Nikolai Rabinovich, chum of my childhood days.
00:14:21No, thank you, my good friend.
00:14:23Mom come, Nicky Olen, you know something.
00:14:26If he won't, I will it with a certain amount of death.
00:14:30Now, boy.
00:14:32There we are.
00:14:37You know, to do your governor good to get at himself for a binge now and then.
00:14:42You don't know my father.
00:14:44He's a man, isn't he?
00:14:46The trouble is he forgets how it was when he was a lad.
00:14:49He still thinks I'm a schoolboy.
00:14:51He'll let me have it tomorrow at lunch.
00:14:54But, darling, you're having luncheon with me at my flat.
00:14:59Little boy, I'd rather have a scolding from his farm than a cozy little chubby little man.
00:15:13Pardon me, Nikolai, won't you?
00:15:29Nikolai, you're a fool. You can't act this way.
00:15:38You will tell me what I can do?
00:15:41You're just jealous.
00:15:42Certainly I am jealous.
00:15:44Quit it, will you? I'm not in love with him.
00:15:46Of course not.
00:15:47How could you be when you have me?
00:15:49But don't forget, you have me.
00:15:51He's got money, Nikolai.
00:15:53That is, his old man's got money.
00:15:55Thanks.
00:15:56A lot of good it will do you if I...
00:15:59You'll be looking for your share, won't you?
00:16:01And I will get it.
00:16:02Always have, haven't you?
00:16:04Always, my dear.
00:16:07I have been talking.
00:16:09Telling the story of my life, you might say.
00:16:12Yes?
00:16:13Excuse me, Mr. Gerald.
00:16:14I, uh...
00:16:15That is, he just telephoned, sir.
00:16:17Oh, yes, yes. I'll speak to him.
00:16:20Yes.
00:16:23He didn't wait, sir.
00:16:25He, uh...
00:16:27He gave me a message.
00:16:28He said that, uh...
00:16:30He couldn't have luncheon with you tomorrow.
00:16:32I see.
00:16:35Uh, thank you, Dobbs.
00:16:45Disappointed again?
00:16:46Yes.
00:16:47Oh.
00:16:48By the boy.
00:16:50The one you were telling me about at dinner.
00:16:52Oh, I hate to see him do it.
00:16:54It's not the drink alone of women.
00:16:56A few wild oats are indicated for a young man, but this woman.
00:16:59Oh.
00:17:00Well, you know, he could become a really great architect.
00:17:03There's a touch of genius in his drawings.
00:17:05Why, do you know even when he was a little chappy?
00:17:08I'm sorry.
00:17:09You are fond of him, aren't you?
00:17:12We've been the best of comrades. Always.
00:17:15And now there seems to be a barrier between us.
00:17:18We can't even talk things out.
00:17:21There are two times when no one can advise a man.
00:17:25The first is when he's drinking too much.
00:17:29The other is when he loves the wrong woman.
00:17:31Does that bar even a father?
00:17:35Especially a father.
00:17:38You know, you make me feel very inexperienced.
00:17:42As if you knew a lot more about life and things than I.
00:17:48Oh, I do.
00:17:50A great deal more.
00:17:51About life and men and women.
00:17:57Particularly men.
00:17:59Hmm.
00:18:00You might advise me.
00:18:02Might?
00:18:04Oh, I expect I'm hopelessly of another generation.
00:18:07Maybe I'm too old.
00:18:09You?
00:18:11Old?
00:18:13Well, I'm still young enough to fairly purr at that.
00:18:17Well, well, here I am going on about my troubles.
00:18:22And usually it's the other way around, isn't it?
00:18:25I mean, usually it's the young lady who tells the story of her life.
00:18:30I'm not sure.
00:18:32I've never had any such experience.
00:18:36Yet.
00:18:38You see, this is my first night at that sort of thing.
00:18:42It does sound like the usual story, doesn't it?
00:18:47Fact, though.
00:18:51I've been broke.
00:18:53And I decided it was either that or the bridge.
00:18:57Oh.
00:18:59Oh, I never could feel sorry enough for myself to have a go at the bridge.
00:19:04Hmm.
00:19:13You know, that's interesting.
00:19:17Very.
00:19:19And just tonight you decided to put yourself, er...
00:19:23Let us say, on the market.
00:19:28I'm afraid I have.
00:19:31Afraid?
00:19:34Not by long odds.
00:19:36Good.
00:19:38Because I want to make a bid for your, er, your services.
00:19:46After all, I did put myself on the, let us say, market.
00:19:51Then, er, then you'd be willing to, er...
00:19:55Oh, I, I, I say I, I didn't mean that.
00:19:58I, really, I, I mean, it's not me, you see.
00:20:02At, at, at least, er, not exactly.
00:20:04I, I...
00:20:06Look here.
00:20:08What would you do for one thousand pounds?
00:20:12One thousand pounds?
00:20:13Hmm.
00:20:14Five thousand dollars?
00:20:15Hmm.
00:20:16Do you mean it?
00:20:18What would I do?
00:20:20Just try me.
00:20:21What would you do, honey?
00:20:42Well, uh, interesting, er, very.
00:20:44This is our best number.
00:20:51Oh, uh, uh, awfully, uh, I mean, it's, uh, yes, uh, quite.
00:21:00Oh, thank you.
00:21:02The young lady is waiting, Sir Gerald.
00:21:03Oh, uh, thanks so much, ma'am.
00:21:05I mean, it's, uh, thanks so much.
00:21:14Oh, I, I beg your pardon, I really do.
00:21:18This way, Sir Gerald, please.
00:21:25Oh, uh, oh, I'm so sorry.
00:21:28I, I had no idea that...
00:21:30Oh, come in, Jerry.
00:21:31I didn't think they made bashful men anymore.
00:21:33But, uh...
00:21:35And you haven't said a word about this.
00:21:37Well, it's, it's, it's fairly breathtaking.
00:21:40Stunning, I, I mean to say, stunning.
00:21:43And do you think it might catch our young man's eye?
00:21:48Look here, my dear.
00:21:49Let's give this thing up.
00:21:51I've been thinking it over and, uh...
00:21:53Mm, sorry, old man.
00:21:55A bargain's a bargain.
00:21:56But...
00:21:56But, you know, I don't want to put you in such a position.
00:22:04Now, don't you fret about me, Jerry.
00:22:06I'm having the time of my life.
00:22:08And I want that thousand pounds.
00:22:10Oh, look here, I'll give you a thousand pounds.
00:22:13And we'll forget all about our little plot.
00:22:15I've got to earn that money.
00:22:17I promised to get your son away from that woman.
00:22:20And I'm going to do it.
00:22:21But I must tell you that, uh...
00:22:22Are you pleased, Sir Gerald, with the negligee and the...
00:22:25Oh, uh, uh, yes, uh, uh, we'll take these and, uh, and these.
00:22:30And these?
00:22:31And this, too, if you don't mind.
00:22:32Oh, by all means, if you'll have it.
00:22:35They're rather expensive, aren't they?
00:22:37Well, that's rather in their favor, isn't it?
00:22:39Oh, uh, shall I have these sent to your apartment, madame?
00:22:43And, uh, madame's address?
00:22:46Oh, uh, yes.
00:22:47Uh, the address.
00:22:48Is, uh, seven.
00:22:49Uh, comes to Bree Street.
00:22:51And, uh, might I have to see the manager, please?
00:22:53Oh, certainly, Sir Gerald.
00:22:54Fancy, madame not knowing her own address.
00:23:04It's not so strange.
00:23:05My, my agent only took place this afternoon.
00:23:08Is it the one we wanted?
00:23:09Oh, quite.
00:23:10But I still feel, uh...
00:23:13Well...
00:23:17Come on, boys and girls.
00:23:21We're all good, sir.
00:23:22Come on, Russell, my lad.
00:23:30Oh, I don't care to crawl this evening.
00:23:31Come along.
00:23:32Come along, sir.
00:23:33Let's go with us.
00:23:34I see you to the door, though.
00:23:36Good old party.
00:23:40Uh-oh.
00:23:41Beg your pardon, Nicolai.
00:23:43Mustn't be jealous, old thing.
00:23:44Russell did get swacked in a hurry, didn't he?
00:23:51Russell did get swacked in a hurry, didn't he?
00:23:53You know, I can't understand the younger generation.
00:23:56Nine o'clock and the flighter can't even crawl.
00:23:59Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:24:00Say, why are you going to be now, then?
00:24:02You need my car.
00:24:04Look at you, man.
00:24:05I say, look, I pray you're fine.
00:24:07Where are you going?
00:24:07We're solid.
00:24:08Now, look here, Freddie.
00:24:10Come on.
00:24:10Come on.
00:24:11Come on.
00:24:11Come on.
00:24:11Come on.
00:24:11Come on, baby.
00:24:12Come on, darling.
00:24:13Come on, darling.
00:24:13Come on, baby.
00:24:14Come on, baby.
00:24:14Come on, baby.
00:24:18Will you, Berthine, tonight in my flat?
00:24:21Darling, I love it, but you're tight.
00:24:24Not too tight.
00:24:26Just a little tight, maybe.
00:24:28Another drink and you'll go to sleep.
00:24:30I know you.
00:24:31I won't take another drink.
00:24:33Salamore, will you, Berthine?
00:24:36How can I, darling?
00:24:37I've got to go with the party.
00:24:38Oh, give him a slip.
00:24:40Pretend you're going home, see?
00:24:42Then come back.
00:24:43I'll wait.
00:24:44But Nikolai, he'll be suspicious.
00:24:46Oh, Nikolai. Who cares for Nikolai?
00:24:49Will you, by then?
00:24:51I'll be back inside an hour.
00:24:53But remember now, no more drinks.
00:24:55Uh-uh. No more drinks.
00:25:04The royal coach. A couple of royal coaches.
00:25:07Good night, sweet prince.
00:25:14Well, hello. Fancy meeting you here.
00:25:29Who are you, anyway?
00:25:31Oh, how you frightened me.
00:25:33Oh, sorry. Beg your pardon. What's the matter?
00:25:36An awfully stupid thing. I'm afraid I've lost my key.
00:25:39Oh, it's nothing. Absolutely nothing.
00:25:42Lady in distress never appealed to a Courtney in vain.
00:25:45I'm afraid you can't, you see.
00:25:47Oh, no such word as can't.
00:25:49Just leave it on me.
00:25:51Good old rock-a-jib.
00:25:54Jib-rock-a-jib.
00:25:56Anyway, good old rock.
00:25:59Millie!
00:26:00Coming, sir, an offer tick.
00:26:02It's a personal favor, Millie.
00:26:04Charming lady's lost her key.
00:26:07All right, all right.
00:26:09Everything will be as bright as rain in Arthur Moe.
00:26:12Here we are.
00:26:16There we are.
00:26:17Thank you, Millie.
00:26:18Thank you, Millie.
00:26:20And thank you, too, so much.
00:26:22That's all right.
00:26:24Just trust me, an hour of peril.
00:26:27Regular old rock-a-jib.
00:26:29Rock-a-jib.
00:26:31Anyway, I tried that once before.
00:26:34I'd like to ask you in, but, uh...
00:26:37Uh-oh.
00:26:38Would you step into my palace as a spider to the fly?
00:26:43Nice little spider, though.
00:26:46Cute spider.
00:26:48Uh, sorry, some of the time.
00:26:50Other engagements.
00:26:52One does have other engagements.
00:26:54Engagements with a lady, too.
00:26:56Oh, but, Lady, I could give you a drink.
00:26:58Drink?
00:26:59Me?
00:27:00No.
00:27:01Don't drink.
00:27:02Gave him a solemn promise.
00:27:04Word of honors.
00:27:06Then perhaps a cup of coffee.
00:27:08Oh, I can't sleep a week when I drink coffee at night.
00:27:15Say, who wants coffee anyway?
00:27:19How about a dash of whiskey?
00:27:21Nature's own remedy.
00:27:23The very thing.
00:27:24Strange I didn't think of that myself.
00:27:53Well, this can't be a respectable place.
00:28:05No, ma'am.
00:28:07Much too cozy to be respectable.
00:28:20Clever little spider.
00:28:22Oh, but I must be toddling along.
00:28:24Uh-huh.
00:28:26Engagement.
00:28:27Beautiful lady.
00:28:29Uh-huh.
00:28:39Just what I needed.
00:28:40What you really need, old man, is a tuck-in and a little bye-bye.
00:28:46Naughty little spider.
00:28:52Oh, I say, really, I gotta be getting along.
00:29:09Come on.
00:29:11Just a little rest, old man.
00:29:12Uh-huh.
00:29:13Now, I know it isn't respectable.
00:29:15Uh-huh.
00:29:16Beds aren't respectable.
00:29:17Uh-huh.
00:29:18Beds aren't respectable.
00:29:19Oh, man.
00:29:20Uh-huh.
00:29:21Especially this bed isn't respectable.
00:29:22Wicked little spider.
00:29:23Uh-huh.
00:29:24Come on.
00:29:25Just a little rest.
00:29:26Uh-huh.
00:29:27Uh-huh.
00:29:28Uh-huh.
00:29:29Uh-huh.
00:29:30Uh-huh.
00:29:31Uh-huh.
00:29:32Uh-huh.
00:29:33Uh-huh.
00:29:34Come on.
00:29:35Just a little rest.
00:29:36Uh-huh.
00:29:37Go bye-bye.
00:29:39Go bye-bye.
00:29:51Russell.
00:29:53Darling.
00:30:07...
00:30:35Oh.
00:30:36...
00:30:39All right.
00:30:40All right.
00:30:41...
00:30:47...
00:30:51...
00:30:53...
00:30:57...
00:32:09Was I fairly awful?
00:32:16The important thing is, how are you this morning?
00:32:19Fairly awful.
00:32:21You'll feel better after some tea and a bit of breakfast.
00:32:25Don't you think a mild brandy and soda would be more to the point?
00:32:28I seem to remember nothing except, vaguely, a lost key and something about the Rock of Gibralt.
00:32:45Don't you remember anything else?
00:32:48You don't mean to tell me, well, that is, maybe it's not quite courteous, but, oh dear.
00:32:58Not even calling me a cute, naughty little spider?
00:33:01Did I do that?
00:33:05Baby talk.
00:33:06And what else?
00:33:10What else?
00:33:11Look here.
00:33:12I mean, did I, that is, did we...
00:33:16Oh, you mean, did you, that is, did we...
00:33:19Where am I anyway?
00:33:21Isn't it the girl that's supposed to ask that?
00:33:25Oh, where am I?
00:33:27You're in my flat.
00:33:29I found you wandering about in the hallway and thought you'd be safer here with me.
00:33:37Was I?
00:33:38Was you what?
00:33:40Was I safer?
00:33:42Better get into these, hadn't you?
00:33:48But I mean, didn't we...
00:33:51That is, oh, how did I get out of these and into these?
00:33:56Don't blush.
00:33:57It's all right.
00:33:58I once studied to be a trained nurse.
00:34:07Look here, you're an awfully good sort.
00:34:09I'm afraid I'm misjudged.
00:34:11I'm sorry.
00:34:13Good heavens.
00:34:15I just remembered.
00:34:16I had an engagement.
00:34:18With a lady?
00:34:19Uh-huh.
00:34:20A very important lady?
00:34:21Well, she seemed important last night.
00:34:24Awfully.
00:34:25And she'll want apologizing to this morning.
00:34:27Don't overdo the apologies.
00:34:29After all, you didn't do anything but break an engagement.
00:34:32Then I, then I didn't, that is, we...
00:34:35I simply can't understand why you've done such a thing for me.
00:34:40You're a perfect stranger.
00:34:42Well, I didn't do it for you precisely.
00:34:45And you're not a perfect stranger.
00:34:47Far from perfect, I should say.
00:34:49Well, then we've met before somewhere.
00:34:52Mutual friends?
00:34:55It's too much of a riddle in my present feeble condition.
00:34:57You'll feel better after a tub than a bit of breakfast.
00:35:01But look here.
00:35:02I'd like to, uh, that is, I'd like to talk with you.
00:35:06The tub first, up in your own flat, then back here for breakfast.
00:35:10In a cozy chair.
00:35:11Do you care for that?
00:35:14Care for it?
00:35:15Oh, I say, I'd love it.
00:35:16I'm sorry.
00:35:49What do you mean you can't put me through?
00:35:55Pull up your socks, sister, and let's hear that tinkle.
00:35:58Ring them.
00:35:59What's that?
00:36:00Oh, ring them again.
00:36:19Oh, ring them again.
00:36:49Oh, never mind, then.
00:37:05Maybe there is another woman.
00:37:07But I hook them, they stay hooked.
00:37:10But you haven't seen him, so you tell me, for more than a month.
00:37:16If anything drove Russell off, it's your jealousy.
00:37:18It's spoiled everything.
00:37:20It's business.
00:37:21Business?
00:37:22Of course.
00:37:23Monkey business.
00:37:29You are still in love with him, my precious.
00:37:32But remember, you still have me.
00:37:34How can I forget it?
00:37:37If you do, it will be just deplorable.
00:37:43The woman who tries to make the fool out of me.
00:37:45Do you know what I would do?
00:37:51Now, darling, how could I love anyone but my Nicky?
00:38:01Don't tell me you've lost your key.
00:38:06I'll always bless the one you did lose.
00:38:08I hope you always will.
00:38:09Good heavens, eleven o'clock.
00:38:16You've got to run along.
00:38:18Remember, you're a hard-working man.
00:38:20Don't you imagine one can overdo this early rising?
00:38:23Run along now like a good little boy.
00:38:25Tea again tomorrow?
00:38:26Good night, then, June.
00:38:28These have been great days for me.
00:38:29They've been great for me, too.
00:38:31Really, June?
00:38:32Good night, dear boy.
00:38:33Good night.
00:38:33Good night.
00:38:34Good night, dear boy.
00:38:34Good night, dear boy.
00:39:04How dare you, sir?
00:39:32At this hour?
00:39:35How did I know?
00:39:37Now, really, Jerry, who else would think of calling me at such a time?
00:39:41I'm afraid it is rather late, but I do so want to see you.
00:39:45Look here, suppose I bring the car around.
00:39:48Well, I could wait down the street.
00:39:52Little air might do you good.
00:39:53What?
00:39:53Besides, I've got something to tell you.
00:40:00Anything better?
00:40:01Mm.
00:40:02I knew a drive would do you good.
00:40:05I was tired, but I'm not now.
00:40:10You know, I feel rather guilty dragging you out like this.
00:40:13You needn't.
00:40:15I wanted to come.
00:40:17What did you have to tell me?
00:40:20Oh, lots of things.
00:40:23You're too sleepy now to listen.
00:40:26No, no, I'm not.
00:40:28Really.
00:40:29Ha, ha.
00:40:37Oh, boy.
00:40:39Have a night, sir.
00:41:04Father, this is a surprise.
00:41:09Sit down, won't you?
00:41:11Oh, better still, let's have tea together.
00:41:12No, no, I'm awfully sorry, my boy.
00:41:14But you don't have to tea seriously.
00:41:17Just because I'm not drinking is no reason why you shouldn't have a spot of the best.
00:41:20Well, to tell you the truth, my boy, I have an engagement.
00:41:24Can't be helped, can it?
00:41:25One does have other engagements, of course.
00:41:28No, but really, I...
00:41:29Oh, some wench, I presume, eh?
00:41:31Now, now, now, now, my boy.
00:41:34Save the scolding for luncheon tomorrow.
00:41:36What are our fathers coming to, anyway?
00:41:42Well, you see, I was just tuddling by and I thought I'd pop in and, uh...
00:41:46By the way, Cotton says you're doing, uh, rather well.
00:41:51Rather well?
00:41:52Modest old Cotton.
00:41:54Look here.
00:41:55If he gives me the proper chance, I'll put this musty old firm on its feet.
00:42:00Good boy.
00:42:09My job's about done.
00:42:12And I think I deserve a pat on the head.
00:42:14Really.
00:42:15It's only a month.
00:42:17And the other woman's out of it.
00:42:19And the boy is hard at work.
00:42:20Oh, it's all beyond thanks.
00:42:23I've got my boy back and I owe you...
00:42:26You owe me exactly 1,000 pounds.
00:42:29You've earned it, too, every penny.
00:42:33It wasn't really such a hard job.
00:42:36Russell's a decent boy.
00:42:38And, after all, a few wild oats are indicated.
00:42:43You know, the amazing thing to me is that, uh...
00:42:46He hasn't fallen in love with you.
00:42:50I've been careful of that.
00:42:53Russell and I are just good pals.
00:42:55As if I were a sister.
00:42:56Or another chap.
00:42:57Suppose he were in love with you.
00:43:02It couldn't be.
00:43:04You see...
00:43:15There's another man.
00:43:16Another...
00:43:18Oh.
00:43:19Chuck, you shouldn't be.
00:43:21You see, I...
00:43:21I never imagined that...
00:43:23Oh, perhaps you should be.
00:43:25Because the other man is...
00:43:27Is you.
00:43:28Oh, my dear, my dear.
00:43:34I've been waiting and wanting to tell you.
00:43:37And I've been wanting to hear it.
00:43:39But not now.
00:43:40No, don't.
00:43:42It's no go, Jerry.
00:43:44I hate to remind you, but...
00:43:46I'm only a woman that came to you from the street.
00:43:48Oh, my dear.
00:43:49You're not really that sort.
00:43:51Well, you see, you'd never be able to trust me.
00:43:55You'd always wonder about the past.
00:43:57All men do.
00:43:59Oh, don't say things like that.
00:44:01I tell you, I wouldn't care.
00:44:04I'd trust you in spite of anything that happened.
00:44:09It's too good to be true.
00:44:12Much too good to be true.
00:44:14Oh, have faith, my dear.
00:44:16Have faith.
00:44:16I have.
00:44:19Perhaps.
00:44:21It might be.
00:44:23But I must go away first.
00:44:25If only for a little while.
00:44:26And when I come back.
00:44:28If I come back.
00:44:29I won't let you go.
00:44:31Oh, but I must go.
00:44:32And think things out.
00:44:33Away from you.
00:44:36In the meantime,
00:44:37my job's not quite done.
00:44:39We always agreed we should tell Russell the truth.
00:44:42And now's the time.
00:44:43We must be fair with the boy.
00:44:45You know, I almost wish we...
00:44:47Oh, don't you bother.
00:44:48I'll tell him.
00:44:50But...
00:44:50He'll take it with a smile.
00:44:53You see, we're pals.
00:45:03These quiet little teasers are the sweetest things in my life.
00:45:06You've been a great pal, June.
00:45:08We are pals, aren't we, Russell?
00:45:10The best.
00:45:11And nothing but.
00:45:14Look here.
00:45:16You're not going serious on me, are you?
00:45:19Sometimes it's hard even for pals to talk about things.
00:45:22After the lectures I've listened to...
00:45:24Fire away, old chum.
00:45:26Swing the blooming axe.
00:45:28Remember that first morning when you found yourself in my bed?
00:45:32Spare my blushes.
00:45:33And I told you you weren't precisely a stranger?
00:45:36Perfect stranger was the exact and somewhat vicious phrase.
00:45:40You see, I knew about you, Russell.
00:45:43All about you.
00:45:44You did say you trained for nursing.
00:45:48I'm sorry.
00:45:49Please go on.
00:45:50I knew about you because I was hired.
00:45:53Hired to find out.
00:45:54To get you away from that other girl.
00:45:56You're joking.
00:45:59But June, who would?
00:46:02Your father.
00:46:11Good old governor.
00:46:13Now wouldn't he though just...
00:46:14You're not angry?
00:46:15Angry?
00:46:16Angry because the two dearest people in the world saved me from making a fool of myself?
00:46:20I knew you'd take it this way.
00:46:22I told him you would.
00:46:23What other way is there?
00:46:25How could I be anything but grateful when it brought me you?
00:46:29You dear, dear June.
00:46:32And I'll play the little joke off on father.
00:46:34Rare old father when I tell him about us.
00:46:39You know already, don't you, June?
00:46:41No, no.
00:46:41Oh, Russell.
00:46:42Oh, no.
00:46:43You didn't know.
00:46:44You know how I love you.
00:46:45How I want you.
00:46:46Don't say it.
00:46:46Don't.
00:46:47But I have said it.
00:46:49Oh.
00:46:50You mean you don't care for me?
00:46:54That way, I mean?
00:46:59June.
00:47:06Is there...
00:47:07Is there someone else?
00:47:15Forget it then, June.
00:47:16I'm sorry.
00:47:21Awfully sorry.
00:47:24Just forget what I said.
00:47:27We're still pals.
00:47:31June.
00:47:33It's not...
00:47:35Not him.
00:47:36Not my father.
00:47:38It's not...
00:47:38Not my father.
00:47:40It's not...
00:47:42Not my father.
00:47:46Not my father.
00:48:04Good afternoon, sir.
00:48:05Good afternoon.
00:48:05Good afternoon, sir.
00:48:06Half or more, Dobbs.
00:48:13Never remove the rare old liquors.
00:48:36Drinking, Russell?
00:48:44Drinking?
00:48:46I'd scarcely call it drinking, Sir Gerald.
00:48:50Let us say, uh, uh, preparation.
00:48:54Laying a foundation for some real drinking.
00:48:58Surely you don't grudge me a mild spot of whiskey.
00:49:03You share everything else with your only son.
00:49:08Gentlemen, I give you Sir Gerald Courtney, my father.
00:49:14And when I say I give him, gentlemen, I mean I give him.
00:49:19You can have him. I don't want him.
00:49:22What's got into you, my boy?
00:49:25Unusual what? Prodigal son disowning proud father?
00:49:28No, you're talking nonsense.
00:49:30Oh, quit it. Quit your lies.
00:49:33You've been bleating that you and I couldn't talk things out.
00:49:35Well, we're going to talk now, only I'm going to do the talking.
00:49:39She's told me.
00:49:40Told me we're sneaking under hand tricks.
00:49:42Steady on my boy.
00:49:43She's told me.
00:49:44Told me how you sent it to me.
00:49:45To make me love her.
00:49:46To make me want her more than I'd ever wanted anything.
00:49:49You?
00:49:51Love her?
00:49:52Oh.
00:49:53Oh.
00:49:54I'm sorry.
00:49:55I didn't know.
00:49:57Yes, you're sorry.
00:49:58You didn't know.
00:49:59Russell, I only meant...
00:50:00Oh, don't whine.
00:50:02Talk up like a man.
00:50:03Don't merely mouth me.
00:50:04Please, please, please believe me.
00:50:05Believe you?
00:50:06Why should I believe you?
00:50:08You're a liar.
00:50:11Listen to me.
00:50:12You've got to listen.
00:50:13You listen.
00:50:14I'm sick of lies and sick of liars.
00:50:16Sick of everything.
00:50:17Reform me, eh?
00:50:18You reform me.
00:50:21You and that one, you hypocrite.
00:50:23Sending her to me.
00:50:24My own father's sending her...
00:50:26You don't say that.
00:50:27Ugly word, isn't it?
00:50:28But it fits her.
00:50:29The woman you picked up from the streets.
00:50:31Nothing but a common...
00:50:32No!
00:50:33Go ahead, hit me.
00:50:34You've done everything else to me.
00:50:35If it were anyone else but my own son, I'd...
00:50:37Well, I haven't the same compulsion.
00:50:39My father...
00:50:46Russell.
00:50:48Oh, Russell!
00:50:49Oh, Russell!
00:51:17What happened?
00:51:20Tell me, Jerry.
00:51:22He's been here...
00:51:24And he's gone.
00:51:26Forever.
00:51:28Oh, no.
00:51:30No.
00:51:31I'll bring him back to you.
00:51:33I'll...
00:51:34He wanted...
00:51:35To strike me.
00:51:37My own son.
00:51:41Oh, no, no.
00:51:42He didn't.
00:51:44He didn't mean to.
00:51:45He's only a boy.
00:51:46And he was hurt.
00:51:48Like a boy.
00:51:50He wanted to hurt someone else.
00:51:54Try to understand.
00:51:57You wouldn't mind if a child in a nursery struck you.
00:52:00That's what it was.
00:52:01That's what it was.
00:52:02I've lost...
00:52:04My son.
00:52:08Oh.
00:52:11No, no.
00:52:13It can't be.
00:52:16I won't let it happen.
00:52:18It has happened.
00:52:20And I'm to blame.
00:52:26It's all my fault.
00:52:30Oh, I might have known it would be like this.
00:52:33I think I did know in my heart.
00:52:36But I wouldn't listen.
00:52:41You see...
00:52:43I love you, Jerry.
00:52:45And I wanted to help you.
00:52:49Great help I've been.
00:52:56I...
00:52:57I do love you.
00:52:58I'll always love you.
00:53:00I'll always love you.
00:53:02And I love you too much to hurt you.
00:53:05You...
00:53:07hurt me?
00:53:09Do you think I could go on...
00:53:12and have you remember...
00:53:14that because of me you lost him?
00:53:28it's the boy.
00:53:38Isn't it, Jerry?
00:53:41You want him.
00:53:50It's not too late.
00:53:53I'll find him...
00:53:54and send him back to you.
00:53:58That's what you hired me for, wasn't it?
00:54:01To save your boy...
00:54:03for a thousand pounds.
00:54:05You just watch me earn that money.
00:54:13Hello.
00:54:15Who?
00:54:17Russell!
00:54:19Why, darling!
00:54:22Am I surprised?
00:54:24Or rather...
00:54:25you sound familiar, though.
00:54:27Just a bit tight, aren't you?
00:54:29I thought you'd given up whiskey and me.
00:54:32What's that?
00:54:34A party?
00:54:35I'm just ripe for a binge.
00:54:37Where?
00:54:39Your flat?
00:54:41Don't know about that.
00:54:43You know, the last time you asked me to meet you there...
00:54:45you didn't show up.
00:54:47All right, darling.
00:54:48Your flat, 11 o'clock.
00:54:50Bye.
00:54:52Yes, I will.
00:54:53Bye.
00:54:55...
00:55:25I have a little box.
00:55:27There is a little under.
00:55:29I used to press the wreath.
00:55:31There is an end.
00:55:33You will need to pick up the wreath.
00:55:35When I do this, I'm going to go over.
00:55:37I will try some of the wreaths.
00:55:39I will try to get my wreaths.
00:55:41Try to find the wreaths in the cany thus.
00:55:43I'll take the wreaths in the cany of the wreaths.
00:55:45I see that close to the wreaths was the one.
00:55:47I will use my wreaths in theные wreaths.
00:55:49I can't fly in there, but I will always try to get my wreaths.
00:55:51Like a wire.
00:55:53I will get my wreaths in the air.
00:55:55Russell, Russell, darling, surely you're not napping.
00:56:24Here's Bernthine.
00:56:31Shut your mouth.
00:56:33Where is he?
00:56:38Please don't, Nicolai.
00:56:39Come, my angel, don't be so excited.
00:56:41Oh, don't, don't.
00:56:42Be calm and sweet and try to entertain me with some of your delightful life.
00:56:48Don't, Nicolai, don't.
00:56:49We shall sit here together, you and I,
00:56:53and wait for him.
00:57:07Oh, Russell.
00:57:08Get away.
00:57:09Take your dirty hands off.
00:57:11All right, Russell.
00:57:12It's not all right.
00:57:13I won't touch you.
00:57:14Still trying to earn your dirty wages, huh?
00:57:16No, you don't.
00:57:17You won't take me into your place again, you lying, sneaking.
00:57:20I won't listen to such insulting.
00:57:21You won't, huh?
00:57:22You listen to me, all right, you filthy gutter whelp.
00:57:25I won't, you hear?
00:57:26Go away.
00:57:27Fire me out, will you?
00:57:28I'll show you.
00:57:29Don't try to put on airs with me, you little tramp.
00:57:33Pretending you're particular who comes in here is you'll hear the kind of talk you deserve,
00:57:38you smirking, rotten cheek.
00:57:40Oh, laughing at me, ain't you?
00:57:43You both laughed at me, you and that sweet, sacred father of mine.
00:57:47Go ahead and laugh.
00:57:48I'm not laughing, Russell.
00:57:49We never laugh.
00:57:50You're a liar.
00:57:51Why shouldn't you laugh?
00:57:52Me thinking all the time you were everything sweet and clean and decent.
00:57:56Afraid almost to touch you.
00:57:58Go ahead, laugh.
00:57:59It's a joke.
00:58:00Me thinking poetic thoughts about you.
00:58:03About you.
00:58:04A woman for hire.
00:58:05A woman with a price mark on her.
00:58:06Not much of a price at that.
00:58:08A mangy shi-alley cat.
00:58:10Anybody's cat.
00:58:11Anybody's woman.
00:58:12You're right, Russell.
00:58:13That's all I am.
00:58:14You're even worse.
00:58:15Oh, right again.
00:58:16But I've learned my lesson.
00:58:17I'm going away.
00:58:18With him, naturally.
00:58:19Not alone.
00:58:20It's not that way between your father and me.
00:58:22Don't you see?
00:58:23I care too much for you to stand between me.
00:58:25You're going with him.
00:58:26That's where you're going.
00:58:27Well, I'll show you and I'll show him too.
00:58:30Oh.
00:58:39So, you think I'm going to your old gent, eh?
00:58:42What a priceless pair of fat heads you and your papa are.
00:58:45What?
00:58:46Me.
00:58:47In love with Sir Gerald Blinken Courtney.
00:58:49Him pretending he was better than the rest.
00:58:51The only difference was that he tried to get with pounds while others try to get with shillings.
00:58:55Hmm.
00:58:56Little Junie's the one that got this time.
00:58:58I got this flat and clothes and money.
00:59:01Oh, for a sweet smile and a thank you, sir.
00:59:04Nothing but a...
00:59:05Nothing but.
00:59:06What did you expect?
00:59:07Lilies of the Bloomin' Valley?
00:59:08I did your old man in the eye and he never even blinked.
00:59:09The dotty old boy didn't even get so much as a kid.
00:59:10You're lying.
00:59:11You're his.
00:59:12And he can have you.
00:59:13Oh, thank you to be slinging your hook.
00:59:14Think I'm drunk, don't you?
00:59:15Maybe I am.
00:59:16I'm not drunk enough to let you trick me again.
00:59:17Not as drunk as I'm going to get.
00:59:18Do you know what I'm going to do tonight?
00:59:19Oh, of course I do.
00:59:20Like father, like son.
00:59:21Like father, like son.
00:59:22I'm not drunk enough to let you trick me again.
00:59:23Not as drunk as I'm going to get.
00:59:24Do you know what I'm going to do tonight?
00:59:25Of course I do.
00:59:26Like father, like son.
00:59:27You're going to meet that prize package, Berthine Waller, up in your flat.
00:59:44Don't like that, do you?
00:59:45Why not?
00:59:46Us girls gotta live.
00:59:47Give me a drink.
00:59:48Give you a drink?
00:59:51Give me a drink.
00:59:54Give you a drink? Milk's more your style.
00:59:57Why, you're not man enough.
00:59:59Oh, I ain't. Still reforming me, aren't you?
01:00:02Give me that drink.
01:00:03No, I won't.
01:00:04Beer, hear?
01:00:07Stop it. Who do you think you...
01:00:15Leave me alone.
01:00:17Don't try your dirty tricks on me.
01:00:21Oh.
01:00:24Leave me alone.
01:00:26Oh.
01:00:30Leave me alone.
01:00:50It's the same the old world over.
01:01:01It's the poor what gets the blind.
01:01:04It's the rich what gets the pleasure.
01:01:07Ain't still the blue made shine.
01:01:09It's the blue made shine.
01:01:11It's the blue made shine.
01:01:12Yes, it's the gold made shine.
01:01:16This is the blue made fly light camera.'
01:01:48It's the same, the whole world's over, it's the whole world's...
01:02:12Hello, Mr. Courtney.
01:02:14What's that?
01:02:14I said it's a rippy morning, sir.
01:02:16Oh, yes.
01:02:18Rippy.
01:02:18Rippy.
01:02:48Rippy.
01:02:48Rippy.
01:02:49Rippy.

01:03:21And he'll go.
01:03:22Rippy.
01:03:23Rippy.
01:03:23I have never been
01:03:23drinking.
01:03:24He looked worse than that.
01:03:25He was in a daze like.
01:03:27That's him right enough.
01:03:27Tell head pourtess to arrest Russell Courtney.
01:03:29Sirius arresting the son of Sir Gerald Courtney.
01:03:32That'sgress too.
01:03:32Doing your young lady in.
01:03:35It's a clear case.
01:03:38Paper!
01:03:41Horrible happening in our life.
01:03:43Evening paper!
01:03:48Very well Burton.
01:03:49Tell the officers we'll surrender their prisoner in five minutes.
01:03:55Now, you'd better tell us, Russell, my boy.
01:03:58We can hardly expect further lenience from the police.
01:04:01They've been more than fair in bringing you here.
01:04:04Now, won't you tell us, your father and your lawyer, where you were?
01:04:09And telling where I was is the only way to clear myself?
01:04:13No matter who else it hurts?
01:04:15It's your only chance.
01:04:17If I told the truth, the real truth, it would be too hard to believe.
01:04:27Tell me, my boy, can't you?
01:04:30I'll understand.
01:04:35I'm afraid, father, you'd be the last to understand the entire truth.
01:04:42Oh, I don't mean to be unkind.
01:04:44Oh, my boy, tell me.
01:04:49It's our last chance.
01:05:00I've treated you shabbily enough already.
01:05:03Haven't I, father?
01:05:04I'm sorry.
01:05:10I'm sorry.
01:05:10Begging pardon, sir James, but this young lady asking to see you says it's very important.
01:05:30A young lady?
01:05:31Well, sir, that is...
01:05:33At this, sir.
01:05:34Tell her to return in the morning.
01:05:35But, uh...
01:05:35Oh, nonsense, I say.
01:05:37Dismiss her.
01:05:37Good evening, gentlemen.
01:05:46Oh, my dear, it's good of you to come.
01:05:48I've been looking for you and I...
01:05:49Wait, Jerry.
01:05:51Wait until you've heard what I have to say.
01:05:53You haven't told them, have you?
01:06:03I was certain you wouldn't.
01:06:05Trying to save my reputation?
01:06:07It's past saving my dear boy.
01:06:09Do you know where Russell was last night?
01:06:12Rather.
01:06:13He was in a lady's apartment all night.
01:06:15How do you know?
01:06:17I happen to be the lady.
01:06:18You mean, it can't be true.
01:06:21Not you and...
01:06:22Let me tell him.
01:06:26But of course it's true.
01:06:28It was to be expected, wasn't it?
01:06:40Sorry.
01:06:40I was afraid you'd take it this way.
01:06:48But I'm not sorry.
01:06:50I'm glad.
01:06:52Glad to know the truth.
01:06:55The wedding's off, eh, Sir Gerald?
01:06:58Can't quite stick it now, can you?
01:07:01Remember when I told you you'd never be able to trust me?
01:07:03No, you said yourself that you and he were together.
01:07:06What of it?
01:07:07Where's the faith you swore you'd have in spite of anything that's happened?
01:07:11Well, something's happened, hasn't it?
01:07:14And worse than anything else, it's happened with me.
01:07:17Me being what I am.
01:07:19It was to be expected, wasn't it, Sir?
01:07:22I loved you.
01:07:23Don't you see?
01:07:26That's what makes it so...
01:07:28Inconvenient is the word.
01:07:31Jealous of your own son.
01:07:33Let me tell him.
01:07:34Oh, I've heard enough.
01:07:36You'll hear just a bit more, Sir Gerald, and you'll listen.
01:07:39Oh, yes, you will.
01:07:41Russell knew how you'd take it.
01:07:43That's why he wouldn't tell where he was.
01:07:45This righteous code that gentlemen have.
01:07:49Marry you?
01:07:51Don't fret, Sir Gerald.
01:07:53I'm not having any.
01:07:55I'm just a woman that came to you from the street, out of the fog.
01:07:58A woman for hire.
01:07:59Someone you could buy, and did buy.
01:08:03But not someone so help me you can marry.
01:08:06You've done this for me.
01:08:08I've done it for me, and a thousand pounds.
01:08:12You haven't forgotten the thousand quid, have you?
01:08:14You hired me to save your boy.
01:08:19Me, a stray Shiali cat.
01:08:20And blimey, I've saved him.
01:08:23I'll take the check, if you please.
01:08:25Begging pardon, Sir James, but it wasn't Mr. Courtney who did it at all.
01:08:48They've nipped a chap, a sort of foreigner.
01:08:49Steady, does it, Bert?
01:08:50A Scotland Yard just reports that they've caught a man named Nicola Rabinoff.
01:08:54Caught him in Miss Waller's flat.
01:08:56And he's confessed, sir.
01:08:58Confessed that he killed Miss Waller.
01:09:01Tell the Scotland Yard men I'll see them in a few moments.
01:09:06Well, you're twice lucky, young man.
01:09:08This, of course, clears you absolutely.
01:09:14Too bad, my dear, this couldn't have come a bit sooner.
01:09:17It would have saved this ugly explanation.
01:09:22The gentleman's coat again.
01:09:24Covering up the unpleasant thing.
01:09:27I'd have told him anyway.
01:09:29I'm convinced you would.
01:09:34Thanks so much.
01:09:36I'm sorry.
01:09:47Really sorry.
01:09:50I believe you are.
01:09:52But still sorry for the wrong person.
01:09:55Goodbye, Sir Gerald.
01:09:59Goodbye, Jerry, old man.
01:10:00Goodbye, Jerry.
01:10:06There's just one other thing, Sir Gerald.
01:10:18Russell was in my apartment last night.
01:10:20All night.
01:10:22But I wasn't with him.
01:10:25As you were, Sir Gerald.
01:10:27That doesn't change things in the least.
01:10:29With you and me.
01:10:31As for this, you know, I have a sort of code, too.
01:10:40I'll probably be sorry for this in the morning.
01:10:44However, right now...
01:10:52June!
01:10:54June!
01:10:55Don't you think you've caused her trouble enough?
01:10:57Father!
01:11:02Father!
01:11:04She'll launch you.
01:11:05Go after her.
01:11:10Wherever she goes, my boy, I'll follow.
01:11:27Go after her.
01:11:38Threeeration.
01:11:38All right.
01:11:40Let's go.
