00:00:00The End
00:00:30THE END
00:01:00THE END
00:01:30THE END
00:01:38New one, isn't she, Albert?
00:01:40Must be, or she wouldn't be out on a night like this.
00:01:43No weather for a dog.
00:01:44Nor for no cat, neither.
00:01:46No weather for a dog.
00:02:16No weather for a dog.
00:02:46Too gloomy dogs, too gloomy, much too severe.
00:02:52Sorry, sir, one does one's best.
00:02:55Oh, quite, just take away the ship thing, will you?
00:02:58More, uh, more, uh, vivacity is needed.
00:03:04Chase, yes, certainly dogs, but, but not funereal.
00:03:08Ah.
00:03:08The, uh, the, uh, the deaf feminine touch, dogs.
00:03:15You've taken the wine from my pet bin, haven't you?
00:03:24The very best.
00:03:25Yes, well, the best is none too good for the occasion.
00:03:28Now, just, uh, just see to the utilities, will you?
00:03:30Well, you.
00:03:36Dogs.
00:03:37Really?
00:03:37You're, you're downright Victorian.
00:03:41You must have cocktails, dogs.
00:03:43Cocktails.
00:03:43Not cocktails, sir.
00:03:48Yes.
00:03:50Now, don't tell me that it isn't British.
00:03:52You're deplorably behind the times.
00:03:55I drink them myself.
00:03:57And what's more, I can mix them.
00:04:00Mix is the word.
00:04:01They tell me they even put ice in them in America.
00:04:06Yes, well, uh, I don't think we'll go quite that far.
00:04:19Waltz do it, darling.
00:04:20I don't fancy freezing my dainty shape while you ask Papa permission to come out and play.
00:04:26Back in a tick for a thing.
00:04:31Mind, Dobbs, not a word that we haven't seen him for a fortnight.
00:04:51Well, Russell, my boy, welcome to the family heart.
00:04:54Hello, Father.
00:04:56Nasty night out, eh?
00:04:57What a fog.
00:04:58Yeah.
00:04:58Thicker than mutton broth.
00:04:59Hello, Dobbs.
00:05:01How's the old aches and twinges this weather?
00:05:03Thank you, sir.
00:05:04Awfully nice of you, my boy, to tear the fog.
00:05:07Just for an evening with your aged male parents.
00:05:10There is nothing I'd like better.
00:05:12Meanwhile, what price a cocktail?
00:05:14Yes, Dobbs was shocked at that.
00:05:17Dobbs?
00:05:18Where's the old training?
00:05:20Take Mr. Russell's coat and hat.
00:05:26You're surprised, aren't you, that I know about cocktails?
00:05:28You know, I'd learned from a barman at the Savoy.
00:05:32He used to live in Chicago.
00:05:35Allow me.
00:05:35Thanks, Dobbs, but don't bother.
00:05:37I've got to be popping off directly.
00:05:45You're not stopping for dinner, then?
00:05:47Uh, I'm terribly sorry, Father, but, uh, when I promised you to come, I overlooked another engagement.
00:05:54Well, it's, uh, it's quite all right, of course.
00:06:00Only I'd hoped, uh, well, it can't be helped, can it?
00:06:05I mean to say one does have other engagements, of course.
00:06:09I know it seems fairly awful.
00:06:13Let's have luncheon together tomorrow.
00:06:15We'll have a good old-fashioned reunion.
00:06:18And you can scold me in a good old-fashioned way.
00:06:24Meanwhile, as you suggest, what price the merry old cocktail?
00:06:30Gentlemen, I give you Sir Gerald Courtney, my father, and a jolly good sportsman.
00:06:41Mmm, I say, you do know something about cocktails.
00:06:45Was that chap from Chicago, did you say?
00:06:47Uh, one of the survivors.
00:06:49Ha, ha, one of the survivors.
00:06:51You know, that's a fruity joke.
00:06:54Is your engagement tonight with, uh, uh, save this scolding for tomorrow?
00:06:59Like a good fellow.
00:07:01Won't you?
00:07:04I wish we could talk things out together.
00:07:07Good night, my boy.
00:07:07Tomorrow.
00:07:09At luncheon.
00:07:10Uh, we'll both make after-dinner speeches.
00:07:16Right.
00:07:17Tomorrow, then.
00:07:18One o'clock.
00:07:19Pronto.
00:07:25Uh, and I'll be toddling along, sir.
00:07:27If you don't mind.
00:07:30Good night, father.
00:07:31Good night, my boy.
00:07:32Mind the fog.
00:07:37Right, you are.
00:07:48It was more like a tick and a half.
00:07:51Did Papa let his little boy come out to play with bad little girls?
00:07:54Ha, ha, chuck it, Burfine.
00:07:56To the pigeon pie, old chum, and don't spare the carburetor.
00:07:59All right.
00:08:00Good night.
00:08:01Good night.
00:08:03Good night.
00:08:08Good night.
00:08:08K pour it.
00:08:12I don't know.
00:08:42Oh, please, they're after me.
00:09:05I'll explain later.
00:09:09My dear girl, we were worried about you.
00:09:12Cramping about in this fog?
00:09:14Why on earth didn't you take a taxi?
00:09:17Yes, well, officers, what is it?
00:09:19Come, come, what's all this about?
00:09:21You see, sir, we thought she was...
00:09:24We thought, my lord, that she...
00:09:26That is, we thought, I mean...
00:09:28We thought that she got lost in the fog, didn't we, Albert?
00:09:31Oh, yes, lost in the fog.
00:09:33That's what we thought.
00:09:35My niece, lost in a little mist.
00:09:37Not this young lady.
00:09:39However, my dear, you should have taken a taxi.
00:09:41You'd telephoned, we'd have sent the car for you.
00:09:44Hurry now, get after this wet coat.
00:09:46Dobbs has kept dinner waiting, and you know Dobbs.
00:09:49Good old Dobbs.
00:09:50Yes, quite so.
00:09:51Good old Dobbs.
00:09:52Thanks so much.
00:09:54Wouldn't have troubled you for worlds.
00:09:55Good night, officers.
00:09:59You've been commendably vigilant.
00:10:01Good night.
00:10:02Thank you, sir.
00:10:05His niece, Sir Gerald Courtney's niece.
00:10:08And us, thinking that I was nothing but a...
00:10:10Shh, stow that, Albert.
00:10:12Stow it, mate.
00:10:17Better rest a moment.
00:10:20Rather, if you don't mind.
00:10:22Just until Albert and his pals clear off.
00:10:25Sit down here.
00:10:47I knew my purse leaked.
00:10:50But rain is the only thing that ever leaked into it.
00:10:53Try one of these.
00:10:55Probably give me the gout after these gaspers I'm used to.
00:11:03Oh, blimey.
00:11:04A short life and a merry one.
00:11:06Yes.
00:11:13No use trying to thank you.
00:11:16It was wonderfully sporting of you to take a chance on me.
00:11:19A stranger.
00:11:21Off the street.
00:11:22Oh, I see.
00:11:23That's rather an ugly way of putting it.
00:11:25Off the street.
00:11:27Why did you do it?
00:11:28Well, you look lonely and a bit frightened when it just happens that I am, too.
00:11:36Oh, you lonely and scared.
00:11:38Yes.
00:11:40That's about as true as that I am your niece.
00:11:42Ruff and eat, wasn't it, that thought about the niece?
00:11:45And good old Dobbs.
00:11:46Well, Dobbs is a fact.
00:11:47Oh, quite a fact.
00:11:49Ah, Dobbs himself.
00:11:51I simply can't believe it.
00:11:53Word of honor.
00:11:55Is dinner served on?
00:11:56Yes, sir.
00:11:57Hmm.
00:11:59Oh, but you're not going.
00:12:02Have you forgotten that we waited dinner for you?
00:12:06Albert and his friend will be gone by now.
00:12:09Oh, but I mean it.
00:12:12Really.
00:12:12I want you to stay.
00:12:16In a way, you know, you rather owe it to me.
00:12:21Will you?
00:12:23Why not?
00:12:25Why not indeed?
00:12:26You hear what the young lady says, Dobbs?
00:12:29Why not, sir?
00:12:31Quite.
00:12:32And you might just give us a hand here.
00:12:35Let me help you with that coat, niece.
00:12:39Thank you, Uncle.
00:12:40Thank you, Uncle.
00:12:56You've been disappointed, haven't you?
00:13:03I?
00:13:03Oh, not a bit of it.
00:13:05You fit perfectly.
00:13:06Really.
00:13:07I don't mean me.
00:13:10Fish and chips is more my style.
00:13:13But I mean the lady you were expecting to dinner.
00:13:16But I wasn't expecting a lady.
00:13:21No?
00:13:22Really.
00:13:23As a matter of fact, I was expecting a man.
00:13:27A young man that I am rather fond of.
00:13:30All right.
00:13:37I'm ready.
00:13:38I'm ready.
00:13:39I'm ready.
00:13:40I got another one.
00:13:41Come on.
00:13:42Come on.
00:13:42Come on.
00:13:42Time for your drops, old girl.
00:13:54Darling, still betting because it's the father's close.
00:13:57Don't irritate it.
00:13:58Never give the old governor a second thought.
00:14:04Take your hands off.
00:14:06Pick her up to drink, darling.
00:14:08Like a shot.
00:14:09No sooner said than done.
00:14:10Good old Nikolai Ravinovich, chum of my childhood days.
00:14:14Oh, thank you, my good friend.
00:14:16I'm coming, Mickey, all I'm in, no something.
00:14:18If he will, I will, with a certain amount of gas.
00:14:22There we are.
00:14:26You know, to do your governor good,
00:14:28to get out himself for a binge now and then.
00:14:30You don't know my father.
00:14:32He's a man, isn't he?
00:14:34The trouble is, he forgets how it was when he was a lad.
00:14:37He still thinks I'm a schoolboy.
00:14:39And he'll let me have it tomorrow at lunch.
00:14:42Good darling.
00:14:44You're having luncheon with me.
00:14:45At my flat.
00:14:47Little boy, rather have a scolding for a...
00:14:49Oh, than a cozy little, yummy little.
00:15:00Pardon me, Nikolai, won't you?
00:15:02Nikolai, you're a fool, you can't act this way.
00:15:26You will tell me what I can do.
00:15:28You're just jealous.
00:15:30Certainly I am, John.
00:15:31Quit it, will you?
00:15:32I'm not in love with you.
00:15:33Of course not.
00:15:35How could you be when you have me?
00:15:37But don't forget, you have me.
00:15:39He's got money, Nikolai.
00:15:41That is, his old man's got money.
00:15:43Thanks, sir.
00:15:44Lot of good it will do you if I...
00:15:46You'll be looking for your share, won't you?
00:15:48And I will get it.
00:15:49Always have, haven't you?
00:15:51Always, my dear.
00:15:52I have been talking.
00:15:57Telling me the story of my life, you might say.
00:15:59Yes?
00:16:00Excuse me, Sir Gerald.
00:16:01I, uh...
00:16:03That is, he just telephoned, sir.
00:16:05Oh, yes, yes.
00:16:06I'll speak to him.
00:16:10He didn't wait, sir.
00:16:12He, uh...
00:16:14He gave me a message.
00:16:16He said that, uh...
00:16:17He couldn't have luncheon with you tomorrow.
00:16:20I see.
00:16:22Uh, thank you, Dobbs.
00:16:32Disappointed again?
00:16:34Yes?
00:16:35Oh.
00:16:36By the boy?
00:16:38The one you were telling me about at dinner?
00:16:40Oh, I hate to see him do it.
00:16:42It's not the drink alone of women.
00:16:43A few wild oats are indicated for a young man,
00:16:46but this woman, oh!
00:16:47Well, you know, he could become a really great architect.
00:16:51There's a touch of genius in his drawings.
00:16:53Why, do you know, even when he was a little chappy...
00:16:56I'm sorry.
00:16:56You are fond of him, aren't you?
00:17:00We've been the best of comrades, always.
00:17:03And now there seems to be a barrier between us.
00:17:06We can't even talk things out.
00:17:09There are two times when no one can advise a man.
00:17:13The first is when he's drinking too much.
00:17:16The other is when he loves the wrong woman.
00:17:19Does that bar even a father?
00:17:24Especially a father.
00:17:27You know, you make me feel very inexperienced.
00:17:32As if you knew a lot more about life and things than I.
00:17:36Oh, I do.
00:17:38A great deal more.
00:17:40About life and men and women.
00:17:45Particularly men.
00:17:46You might advise me.
00:17:50Might?
00:17:52Oh, I expect I'm hopelessly of another generation.
00:17:55Maybe I'm too old.
00:17:57You?
00:17:58Old?
00:18:00Well, I'm still young enough to fairly purr at that.
00:18:06Well, well, here I am going on about my troubles.
00:18:09And usually it's the other way around, isn't it?
00:18:11I mean, usually it's the young lady who tells the story of her life.
00:18:17I'm not sure.
00:18:20I've never had any such experience.
00:18:23Yet.
00:18:24No?
00:18:25You see, this is my first night at that sort of thing.
00:18:30It does sound like the usual story, doesn't it?
00:18:35Fact, though.
00:18:38I've been broke.
00:18:40And I decided it was either that or the bridge.
00:18:44Oh.
00:18:46Oh, I never could feel sorry enough for myself to have a go at the bridge.
00:18:50You know, that's interesting.
00:19:03Very.
00:19:05And just tonight you decided to put yourself, let us say, on the market?
00:19:14I'm afraid I have.
00:19:17Afraid?
00:19:18Not by long odds.
00:19:22Good.
00:19:25Because I want to make a bid for your services.
00:19:31Well, after all, I did put myself on the, let us say, market.
00:19:38Then you'd be willing to...
00:19:41Oh, I say I didn't mean that.
00:19:45I, really, I, I mean, it's not me, you see.
00:19:49At, at, at least, not exactly.
00:19:51I, look here.
00:19:54What would you do for one thousand pounds?
00:19:58One thousand pounds?
00:20:00Hmm.
00:20:01Five thousand dollars?
00:20:02Hmm.
00:20:03Do you mean it?
00:20:05What would I do?
00:20:06Just try me.
00:20:08Uh, uh, uh, interesting.
00:20:11Uh, very.
00:20:24Very.
00:20:25Ah, interesting, very.
00:20:34This is our best number.
00:20:36Oh, awfully, I mean, yes, quite.
00:20:45Oh, thank you. The young lady is waiting, Sir Gerald.
00:20:48Oh, thanks so much, I mean, thanks so much.
00:20:55Oh, I beg your pardon, I really do.
00:21:03This way, Sir Gerald, please.
00:21:10Oh, I'm so sorry, I had no idea that...
00:21:15Oh, come in, Jerry. I didn't think they made bashful men anymore.
00:21:19But...
00:21:20And you haven't said a word about this.
00:21:23Well, it's fairly breathtaking, stunning. I mean to say, stunning.
00:21:29And do you think it might catch our young man's eye?
00:21:33Look here, my dear. Let's give this thing up.
00:21:36I've been thinking it over and...
00:21:38Mmm, sorry, old man. A bargain's a bargain.
00:21:41But...
00:21:42But you know, I don't want to put you in such a position.
00:21:49Now, don't you fret about me, Jerry.
00:21:51I'm having the time of my life.
00:21:53And I want that thousand pounds.
00:21:55Oh, look here, I'll give you a thousand pounds, and we'll forget all about our little plot.
00:22:00I've got to earn that money.
00:22:02I promised to get your son away from that woman, and I'm going to do it.
00:22:06But I must tell you that, uh...
00:22:08Are you pleased, Sir Gerald, with the negligee and the...
00:22:10Oh, uh, yes, uh, we'll take these and, uh, and these.
00:22:14And these? And this too, if you don't mind.
00:22:17Oh, by all means, if you'll have it.
00:22:19They're rather expensive, aren't they?
00:22:22Well, that's rather in their favor, isn't it?
00:22:24Oh!
00:22:25Um, shall I have these sent to your apartment, madame?
00:22:28And, uh, madame's address?
00:22:31Oh, uh, yes.
00:22:32Uh, the address?
00:22:33Is, uh, seven.
00:22:34Uh, comes to Bree Street.
00:22:35And, uh, a matter to see the manager, please.
00:22:38Oh, certainly, Sir Gerald.
00:22:44Fancy, madame not knowing her own address.
00:22:49It's not so strange.
00:22:51My, my agent only took place this afternoon.
00:22:53Is it the one we wanted?
00:22:54Oh, quite.
00:22:55But I still feel, uh...
00:22:58Well.
00:23:04Come on, boys and girls.
00:23:06We're all good, Antonio.
00:23:07Have more.
00:23:08Crawling and some of them.
00:23:10Oh, I'm sampling the papers to the vanilla classes.
00:23:13Come on, Russell, my lady.
00:23:15No, I don't care to crawl this evening.
00:23:17Come along.
00:23:18Let's go with that.
00:23:19I see you to the door, though.
00:23:21Good old party.
00:23:26Uh-oh.
00:23:27Beg your pardon, Nicolai.
00:23:28Mustn't be jealous, old thing.
00:23:37Russell did get swacked in a hurry, didn't he?
00:23:39You know, I can't understand the younger generation.
00:23:41Nine o'clock and the blighter can't even crawl.
00:23:42Why are you coming down, then?
00:23:43It's only in my car.
00:23:44Look down, man.
00:23:45Look, I beg your pardon.
00:23:46That's where we're going.
00:23:47We're solid.
00:23:48Now, look here, Freddie.
00:23:49Come along.
00:23:50Come along.
00:23:51Come along.
00:23:52Take care of us, darling.
00:23:53That's where we're going.
00:23:54We're solid.
00:23:55Now, look here, Freddie.
00:23:56Come along.
00:23:57Take care of us, darling.
00:23:58Take care of us, darling.
00:23:59Come along.
00:24:02Okay.
00:24:03Will you, Bertine?
00:24:04Tonight in my flat?
00:24:05Darling, I love it, but you're tight.
00:24:09Not too tight.
00:24:11Just a little tight, maybe.
00:24:13Another drink and you'll go to sleep.
00:24:15I know you.
00:24:16I won't take another drink.
00:24:18Salamote.
00:24:19Will you, Bertine?
00:24:20How can I, darling?
00:24:22I've got to go with the party.
00:24:23Uh, give him a slip.
00:24:25Pretend you going home, see?
00:24:27Then come back.
00:24:28I'll wait.
00:24:29But Nikolai, he'll be suspicious.
00:24:31Oh, Nikolai.
00:24:32Who cares for Nikolai?
00:24:34Will you, my dear?
00:24:36I'll be back inside an hour.
00:24:38But remember now, no more drinks.
00:24:41Uh-uh.
00:24:42No more drinks.
00:24:49The royal coat.
00:24:50A couple of royal coaches.
00:24:52Good-bye, sweet prince.
00:24:58Well, hello.
00:25:11Fancy meeting you here.
00:25:14Who are you, anyway?
00:25:16Oh, how you frightened me.
00:25:18Oh, sorry, beg your pardon.
00:25:21What's the matter?
00:25:22An awfully stupid thing.
00:25:23I'm afraid I've lost my key.
00:25:25Oh, it's nothing.
00:25:26Absolutely nothing.
00:25:27Lady in distress never appealed to a Courtney in vain.
00:25:30I'm afraid you can't, you see.
00:25:32Oh, no such word as can.
00:25:34Just leave it on me.
00:25:36Good old rock a jib...
00:25:39Jib...
00:25:40Rock a...
00:25:41Anyway, good old rock.
00:25:44Millie!
00:25:45Coming, sir, an offer tick.
00:25:47So first no favor, Millie.
00:25:49Charming lady's lost her key.
00:25:52All right.
00:25:53All right.
00:25:54All right.
00:25:55Everything will be as bright as rain in Arthur Moe.
00:25:57Here we are.
00:25:58Here we are.
00:26:02Here we are.
00:26:03Thank you, Millie.
00:26:04Thank you, Millie.
00:26:05And thank you, too, so much.
00:26:07That's all right.
00:26:09Just trust me, an hour of peril.
00:26:12Regular old rock a jib...
00:26:14Rock a j...
00:26:15Anyway, I tried that once before.
00:26:19I'd like to ask you in, but...
00:26:21Uh-oh.
00:26:22Would you step into my palace as a spider to the fly?
00:26:27Nice little spider, though.
00:26:30Cute spider.
00:26:32Uh, sorry, some of the time.
00:26:36Other engagements.
00:26:37One does have other engagements.
00:26:39Engagements with a lady, too.
00:26:41Uh, but maybe I could give you a drink.
00:26:43Drink?
00:26:45Me?
00:26:46No, don't drink.
00:26:48Gave him a solemn promise.
00:26:50Word of honor.
00:26:51Then perhaps a cup of coffee.
00:26:53Oh, I can't sleep a week when I drink coffee at night.
00:26:57Say, who wants coffee anyway?
00:27:03How about a dash of whiskey?
00:27:06Nature's own remedy.
00:27:08The very thing.
00:27:09Strange I didn't think of that myself.
00:27:27Er, this can't be a respectable place.
00:27:50No, ma'am.
00:27:52Much too cozy to be respectable.
00:27:57clever little spider

00:29:37darling
00:29:47darling
00:29:51not
00:30:01I?
00:30:02I?
00:30:02I?
00:30:03I?
00:30:04I?
00:30:05I?
00:30:05I?
00:30:05I?
00:30:06I?
00:30:06I?
00:33:13you're in my flat. I found you wandering about in the hallway and thought you'd be safer here with
00:33:18me. Was I? Was you what? Was I safer? Better get into these, hadn't you? But I mean, didn't we? That
00:33:36is. Oh, how did I get out of these and into these? Don't blush. It's all right. I went
00:33:44study to be a trained nurse. Look here, you're an awfully good sort. I'm afraid I'm misjudged.
00:33:56I'm sorry. Good heavens. I just remembered. I had an engagement. With a lady? Uh-huh. A very
00:34:05important lady? Well, she seemed important last night. Awfully. And she'll want apologizing
00:34:11to this morning. Don't overdo the apologies. After all, you didn't do anything but break
00:34:17an engagement. Then I didn't, that is, we... I simply can't understand why you've done such
00:34:25a thing for me, a perfect stranger. Well, I didn't do it for you precisely. And you're
00:34:30not a perfect stranger. Far from perfect, I should say. Well, then
00:34:35we've met before somewhere. Mutual friends? It's too much of a riddle in my present feeble
00:34:42condition. You'll feel better after a tub than a bit of breakfast. But look here. I'd like
00:34:48to, uh, that is, I'd like to talk with you. The tub first, up in your own flat, then back
00:34:55here for breakfast. In a cozy chair. You care for that? Care for it? Oh, I'd say I'd love
00:35:01it.
00:35:02Uh-huh.
00:35:25what do you mean you can't put me through pull up your sock sister and let's hear that tinkle
00:35:42ring them what's that oh ring them again
00:35:55so
00:35:56so
00:36:00so
00:36:08so
00:36:10so
00:36:12so
00:36:18so
00:36:25Oh, never mind, then.
00:36:50Maybe there is another woman.
00:36:53When I hook them, they stay hooked.
00:36:55But you haven't seen him, so you tell me, for more than a month.
00:37:01If anything drove Russell off, it's your jealousy.
00:37:04It's spoiled everything.
00:37:05It's business.
00:37:06Business?
00:37:07Of course.
00:37:08Monkey business.
00:37:14You are still in love with him, my precious.
00:37:17But remember, you still have me.
00:37:20How can I forget it?
00:37:22If you do, it will be just deplorable.
00:37:28The woman who tries to make the fool out of me.
00:37:33Do you know what I would do?
00:37:36Now, darling, how could I love anyone but my Nicky?
00:37:42Don't tell me you've lost your key.
00:37:51I'll always bless the one you did lose.
00:37:53I hope you always will.
00:38:00Good heavens, 11 o'clock.
00:38:02You've got to run along.
00:38:03Remember, you're a hardworking man.
00:38:05Well, don't you imagine one can overdo this early rising?
00:38:08Run along now like a good little boy.
00:38:10Tea again tomorrow?
00:38:12Good night then, June.
00:38:13These have been great days for me.
00:38:15They've been great for me, too.
00:38:16Really, June?
00:38:17Good night, dear boy.
00:39:19How did I know?
00:39:22Now, really, Jerry, who else would think of calling me at such a time?
00:39:26I'm afraid it is rather late, but I do so want to see you.
00:39:30Look here, suppose I bring the car around.
00:39:34Well, I could wait down the street.
00:39:37Little Ab might do you good.
00:39:38What?
00:39:39Well, besides, I've got something to tell you.
00:39:45Feeling better?
00:39:46Mm.
00:39:48I knew a drive would do you good.
00:39:50I was tired, but I'm not now.
00:39:52You know, I feel rather guilty dragging you out like this.
00:39:59You needn't.
00:40:00I wanted to come.
00:40:03What did you have to tell me?
00:40:05Oh, lots of things.
00:40:08You're too sleepy now to listen.
00:40:10No, no, I'm not.
00:40:13Really.
00:40:13Really.
00:40:14I'm so scared.
00:40:18I know.
00:40:19I know.
00:40:21I know.
00:40:22I know.
00:40:23I know.
00:40:24I know.
00:40:25Yeah.
00:40:26Have a night, sir.
00:40:50Father, this is a surprise.
00:40:53Sit down, won't you?
00:40:56Oh, better still, let's have tea together.
00:40:58No, no, awfully sorry, my boy.
00:40:59But you don't have to tea seriously.
00:41:02Just because I'm not drinking
00:41:03is no reason why you shouldn't have a spot of the best.
00:41:06Well, to tell you the truth, my boy,
00:41:07I have an engagement.
00:41:09Can't be helped, can it?
00:41:10One does have other engagements, of course.
00:41:13No, but really I...
00:41:14Oh, some wench, I presume, eh?
00:41:16Now, now, now, my boy,
00:41:19save the scolding for luncheon tomorrow.
00:41:21What are our fathers coming to, anyway?
00:41:27Well, you see, I was just tuddling by
00:41:29and I thought I'd pop in and...
00:41:31By the way, Cotton says you're doing rather well.
00:41:36Rather well?
00:41:37Modest old Cotton.
00:41:39Look here, if he gives me the proper chance,
00:41:42I'll put this musty old firm on its feet.
00:41:46Good boy.
00:41:47My job's about done.
00:41:57And I think I deserve a pat on the head.
00:41:59Really.
00:42:01It's only a month.
00:42:02And the other woman's out of it.
00:42:04And the boy is hard at work.
00:42:05Oh, it's all beyond thanks.
00:42:08I've got my boy back and I owe you...
00:42:11You owe me exactly 1,000 pounds.
00:42:15You've earned it, too, every penny.
00:42:18It wasn't really such a hard job.
00:42:21Russell's a decent boy.
00:42:23And after all, a few wild oats are indicated.
00:42:27You know, the amazing thing to me is that...
00:42:31He hasn't fallen in love with you.
00:42:35I've been careful of that.
00:42:38Russell and I are just good pals.
00:42:40As if I were a sister or another chap.
00:42:43Suppose he were in love with you.
00:42:48It couldn't be.
00:42:49You see, there's another man.
00:43:02And there...
00:43:03Oh.
00:43:04Shock?
00:43:05You shouldn't be.
00:43:06You see, I...
00:43:07I never imagined that...
00:43:08Oh, perhaps you should be.
00:43:10Because the other man is...
00:43:13Is you.
00:43:13Oh, my dear, my dear.
00:43:19I've been waiting and wanting to tell you what...
00:43:22And I've been wanting to hear it.
00:43:24But not now.
00:43:25No, don't.
00:43:27It's no go, Jerry.
00:43:29I hate to remind you, but...
00:43:31I'm only a woman that came to you from the street.
00:43:33Oh, my dear.
00:43:34You're not really that sort.
00:43:36You see, you'd never be able to trust me.
00:43:40You'd always wonder about the past.
00:43:42All men do.
00:43:44Oh, don't say things like that.
00:43:47I tell you, I wouldn't care.
00:43:49I'd trust you in spite of anything that happened.
00:43:55It's too good to be true.
00:43:58Much too good to be true.
00:44:00Oh, have faith, my dear.
00:44:01Have faith.
00:44:02I have.
00:44:04Perhaps.
00:44:06It might be.
00:44:08But I must go away first.
00:44:10If only for a little while.
00:44:11And when I come back.
00:44:13If I come back.
00:44:15I won't let you go.
00:44:16Oh, but I must go.
00:44:18And think things out.
00:44:19Away from you.
00:44:21In the meantime,
00:44:22my job's not quite done.
00:44:24We always agreed we should tell Russell the truth.
00:44:26Hmm.
00:44:27And now's the time.
00:44:29We must be fair with the boy.
00:44:30You know, I almost wish we...
00:44:32Oh, don't you bother.
00:44:34I'll tell him.
00:44:35But...
00:44:36He'll take it with a smile.
00:44:37You see, we're pals.
00:44:47These quiet little teasers are the sweetest things in my life.
00:44:50You've been a great pal, June.
00:44:52We are pals, aren't we, Russell?
00:44:54The best.
00:44:55And nothing but.
00:44:58Look here.
00:45:00You're not going serious on me, are you?
00:45:03Sometimes it's hard even for pals to talk about things.
00:45:06After the lectures I've listened to.
00:45:08Fire away, old chum.
00:45:10Swing the blooming axe.
00:45:12Remember that first morning when you found yourself in my bed?
00:45:16Spare my blushes.
00:45:18And I told you you weren't precisely a stranger?
00:45:20Perfect stranger was the exact and somewhat vicious phrase.
00:45:24You see, I knew about you, Russell.
00:45:26All about you.
00:45:28You did say you trained for nursing.
00:45:30I'm sorry.
00:45:33Please go on.
00:45:34I knew about you because I was hired.
00:45:37Hired to find out.
00:45:38To get you away from that other girl.
00:45:40You're joking.
00:45:43But June, who would?
00:45:46Your father.
00:45:55Good old governor.
00:45:57Now wouldn't he though just...
00:45:58You're not angry.
00:45:59Angry?
00:46:00Angry because the two dearest people in the world saved me from making a fool of myself?
00:46:04I knew you'd take it this way.
00:46:06I told him you would.
00:46:07What other way is there?
00:46:09How could I be anything but grateful when it brought me you?
00:46:13You dear, dear June.
00:46:16And I'll play the little joke off on father.
00:46:18Rare old father when I tell him about us.
00:46:23You know already, don't you, June?
00:46:25No, no.
00:46:25Oh, Russell.
00:46:26Oh, no, you didn't know.
00:46:28You know how I love you, how I want you.
00:46:30Don't say it, don't.
00:46:31But I have said it.
00:46:33Oh.
00:46:35You mean you don't care for me?
00:46:38That way I mean?
00:46:44June.
00:46:44June.
00:46:44Is there...
00:46:51Is there someone else?
00:46:59Forget it then, June.
00:47:02I'm sorry.
00:47:05Awfully sorry.
00:47:06Just forget what I've said.
00:47:11We're still pals.
00:47:15June.
00:47:17It's not...
00:47:19Not him.
00:47:20Not my father.
00:47:22I'm sorry.
00:47:36Good afternoon, sir.
00:47:48Good afternoon, sir.
00:47:55Half or more, Dobbs.
00:47:57Never remove the rare old liquors.
00:48:06Drinking, Russell?
00:48:28Drinking?
00:48:29I'd scarcely call it drinking, Sir Gerald.
00:48:34Let us say, uh...
00:48:36Preparation.
00:48:38Laying a foundation for some real drinking.
00:48:43Surely you don't grudge me a mild spot of whiskey.
00:48:47You share everything else with your only son.
00:48:52Gentlemen,
00:48:52I give you Sir Gerald Courtney,
00:48:56my father.
00:48:58And when I say I give him,
00:49:00gentlemen, I mean I give him.
00:49:03You can have him.
00:49:04I don't want him.
00:49:06What's got into you, my boy?
00:49:09Unusual what?
00:49:10Prodigal son disowning proud father?
00:49:12No, you're talking nonsense.
00:49:14Oh, quit it.
00:49:15Quit your lies.
00:49:17You've been bleating that you and I couldn't talk things out.
00:49:19Well, we're going to talk now,
00:49:20only I'm going to do the talking.
00:49:23She's told me.
00:49:24Told me we're sneaking under hand tricks.
00:49:26Steady on my boy.
00:49:27She's told me.
00:49:28Told me how you sent it to me.
00:49:29To make me love her.
00:49:30To make me want her more than I've ever wanted anything.
00:49:33You?
00:49:36Love her?
00:49:37Oh.
00:49:38I'm sorry.
00:49:40I didn't know.
00:49:41Yes, you're sorry.
00:49:43You didn't know.
00:49:43Russell, I only meant...
00:49:45Oh, don't whine.
00:49:46Talk up like a man.
00:49:47Don't merely mouth me.
00:49:48Please, please, please believe me.
00:49:49Believe you?
00:49:50Why should I believe you?
00:49:52You're a liar.
00:49:55Listen to me.
00:49:56You've got to listen.
00:49:57You listen.
00:49:57I'm sick of lies and sick of liars.
00:50:00Sick of everything.
00:50:01Reform me, eh?
00:50:03You reform me.
00:50:05You and that one, you hypocrite.
00:50:07Sending her to me.
00:50:08My own father.
00:50:10Sending her to me.
00:50:10Don't say that.
00:50:11Fogly word, isn't it?
00:50:12But it fits her.
00:50:13The woman you picked up from the streets.
00:50:15Nothing but a common door.
00:50:16Go ahead, hit me.
00:50:18You've done everything else to me.
00:50:19If it were anyone else but my own son, I'd...
00:50:21Well, I haven't the same compulsion.
00:50:23My father...
00:50:25Russell.
00:50:27Russell.
00:50:40Augusto!
00:50:45Augusto!
00:50:46Augusto!

00:56:20Please don't, Nicolai.
00:56:23Come, my angel.

00:56:25Oh, don't.
00:56:26Don't.
00:56:27Be calm and sweet and try to entertain me with some of your delightful life.
00:56:32Don't, Nicolai.
00:56:33Don't.
00:56:34I shall sit here together, you and I, and wait for him.
00:56:51Oh, Russell.
00:56:52Get away.
00:56:53Take your dirty hands off.
00:56:55All right, Russell.
00:56:56It's not all right.
00:56:57I won't touch you.
00:56:58Still trying to earn your dirty wages, huh?
00:57:00No, you don't.
00:57:01You won't trick me into your place again, you lying, sneaking.
00:57:04I won't listen to such insulting.
00:57:05You won't, huh?
00:57:06You listen to me all right, you filthy gutter whelp.
00:57:09I won't, you hear?
00:57:10Go away.
00:57:11Fire me out, will you?
00:57:13I'll show you.
00:57:14Don't try to put on airs with me, you little tramp.
00:57:17Pretending you're particular who comes in here is you'll hear the kind of talk you deserve,
00:57:22you smirking, rotten cheek.
00:57:24Oh, laughing at me, ain't you?
00:57:27You both laughed at me, you and that sweet, sacred father of mine.
00:57:31Go ahead and laugh.
00:57:32I'm not laughing, Russell.
00:57:33We never laugh.
00:57:34You're a liar.
00:57:35Why shouldn't you laugh?
00:57:36Me thinking all the time you were everything sweet and clean and decent.
00:57:40I'm afraid almost to touch you.
00:57:42Go ahead, laugh.
00:57:43It's a joke.
00:57:44Me thinking poetic thoughts about you.
00:57:46About you.
00:57:47A woman for hire.
00:57:48A woman with a price mark on her.
00:57:50Not much of a price at that.
00:57:51A mangy she-ally cat.
00:57:53Anybody's cat.
00:57:54Anybody's woman.
00:57:55You're right, Russell.
00:57:56That's all I am.
00:57:57You're even worse.
00:57:58Oh, right again.
00:57:59But I've learned my lesson.
00:58:01I'm going away.
00:58:02With him, naturally.
00:58:03Alone.
00:58:04It's not that way between your father and me.
00:58:06Don't you see?
00:58:07I care too much for you to stand between you.
00:58:09You're going with him.
00:58:10That's where you're going.
00:58:11Well, I'll show you.
00:58:12And I'll show him too.
00:58:13Oh.
00:58:22So, you think I'm going to your old gent, eh?
00:58:25What a priceless pair of fatheads you and your papa are.
00:58:28Nay, in love with Sir Gerald Blinken Courtney.
00:58:32Him pretending he was better than the rest.
00:58:35The only difference was that he tried to get with pounds what others try to get with shillings.
00:58:39Hmm.
00:58:40Little Junie's the one that got this time.
00:58:42I got this flat and clothes and money.
00:58:45All for a sweet smile and a thank you, sir.
00:58:48Nothing but a...
00:58:50Nothing but.
00:58:51What did you expect?
00:58:53Lilies of the Bloomin' Valley?
00:58:54I did your old man in the eye and he never even blinked.
00:58:57The dotty old boy didn't even get so much as a kiss.
00:59:00You're lying.
00:59:01You're his.
00:59:02If he can have you.
00:59:03Oh, thank you to be slinging your hook.
00:59:05Think I'm drunk, don't you?
00:59:08Maybe I am.
00:59:09I'm not drunk enough to let you trick me again.
00:59:11Not as drunk as I'm gonna get.
00:59:14Do you know what I'm gonna do tonight?
00:59:16Of course I do.
00:59:17Like father, like son.
00:59:19You're gonna meet that prize package, Berthine Waller, up in your flat.
00:59:23Don't like that, do you?
00:59:24Why not?
00:59:25Us girls gotta live.
00:59:27Give me a drink.
00:59:30Give me a drink.
00:59:32Give me a drink.
00:59:35Give you a drink?
00:59:38Milk's more your style.
00:59:40Why, you're not man enough.
00:59:42Oh, I ain't.
00:59:43Still reforming me, aren't you?
00:59:45Give me that drink.
00:59:46No, I won't.
00:59:47Do you hear?
00:59:50Stop it.
00:59:51Who do you think you...
00:59:58Leave me alone.
01:00:00Don't try your dirty tricks on me.
01:00:03Leave me alone.
01:00:06Leave me alone.
01:00:08Leave me alone.
01:00:13Leave me alone.
01:00:33Leave me alone.
01:00:41It's the same, the old world of worms.
01:01:57What's that?
01:01:58I said it's a ripping morning, sir.
01:02:00Oh, yes.
01:02:02Ripping.
01:02:27Murder!
01:02:28Murder!
01:02:29He's murdered her!
01:02:46I said it.
01:02:47I said it.
01:02:49I said it.
01:02:50It happened sometime during the night.
01:02:52She came to his flat and he done her in.
01:02:54All we got to do is find the lad.
01:02:56That won't be hard.
01:02:56We'll have him by night.
01:02:58You say you saw him coming out of his flat?
01:03:00Yes, sir.
01:03:01He was coming down the steps.
01:03:03And he looked like he'd been drinking.
01:03:04He looked worse than that.
01:03:06He was in a daze like.
01:03:08That's him right enough.
01:03:09Tell headquarters to arrest Russell Courtney.
01:03:11Serious arresting the son of Sir Gerald Courtney.
01:03:14That's serious too.
01:03:15Doing a young lady in.
01:03:16It's a clear case.
01:03:22Paper!
01:03:22Audible happening in our life.
01:03:27Evening paper!
01:03:31Very well, Burton.
01:03:33Tell the officers we'll surrender their prisoner in five minutes.
01:03:39Now, you better tell us, Russell, my boy.
01:03:41We can hardly expect further lenience from the police.
01:03:44They've been more than fair in bringing you here.
01:03:47Now, won't you tell us, your father and your lawyer, where you were?
01:03:52And telling where I was is the only way to clear myself, no matter who else it hurts?
01:03:59It's your only chance.
01:04:02If I told the truth, the real truth, it would be too hard to believe.
01:04:10Tell me, my boy, can't you?
01:04:13I'll understand.
01:04:18I'm afraid, father, you'd be the last to understand.
01:04:22The entire truth.
01:04:25Oh, I don't mean to be unkind.
01:04:29Oh, my boy.
01:04:31Tell me.
01:04:32It's our last chance.
01:04:35I've treated you shabbily enough already.
01:04:47Haven't I, father?
01:04:53Sorry.
01:04:53Begging pardon, sir, James, but this young lady asking to see you says it's very important.
01:05:13A young lady?
01:05:14Well, sir, that is...
01:05:16At this hour.
01:05:16Tell her to return in the morning.
01:05:18Oh, nonsense, I say.
01:05:19Dismiss her.
01:05:20Good evening, gentlemen.
01:05:29Oh, my dear, it's good of you to come.
01:05:31I've been looking for you and I...
01:05:32Wait, Jerry.
01:05:33Wait until you've heard what I have to say.
01:05:36You haven't told them, have you?
01:05:45I was certain you wouldn't.
01:05:47Trying to save my reputation?
01:05:50It's past saving my dear boy.
01:05:52Do you know where Russell was last night?
01:05:55Rather, he was in a lady's apartment all night.
01:05:58How do you know?
01:05:59I happen to be the lady.
01:06:02You mean it can't be true, not you and...
01:06:05Let me tell him.
01:06:09But of course it's true.
01:06:11It was to be expected, wasn't it?
01:06:15I was afraid you'd take it this way.
01:06:31But I'm not sorry.
01:06:33I'm glad.
01:06:35Glad to know the truth.
01:06:37The wedding's off, eh, Sir Gerald?
01:06:40Can't quite stick it now, can you?
01:06:43Remember when I told you you'd never be able to trust me?
01:06:46No, you said yourself that you and he were together.
01:06:49What of it?
01:06:50Where's the faith you swore you'd have in spite of anything that's happened?
01:06:54Well, something's happened, hasn't it?
01:06:56And worse than anything else, it's happened with me.
01:06:59Me being what I am.
01:07:01It was to be expected, wasn't it?
01:07:04I loved you.
01:07:06Don't you see?
01:07:09That's what makes it so...
01:07:11Inconvenient is the word.
01:07:14Jealous of your own son.
01:07:15Let me tell him.
01:07:17Oh, I've heard enough.
01:07:19You'll hear just a bit more, Sir Gerald, and you'll listen.
01:07:22Oh, yes, you will.
01:07:24Russell knew how you'd take it.
01:07:25That's why he wouldn't tell where he was.
01:07:28This righteous code that gentlemen have.
01:07:32Marry you?
01:07:33Don't fret, Sir Gerald.
01:07:36I'm not having any.
01:07:38I'm just a woman that came to you from the street, out of the fog.
01:07:41A woman for hire.
01:07:43Someone you could buy, and did buy.
01:07:46But not someone so help me you can marry.
01:07:48You've done this for me.
01:07:51I've done it for me, and a thousand pounds.
01:07:54You haven't forgotten a thousand quid, have you?
01:07:57You hired me to save your boy.
01:08:02Me, a stray Shiali cat, and blimey, I've saved him.
01:08:06I'll take the check, if you please.
01:08:08Begging pardon, Sir James, but it wasn't Mr. Courtney who did it at all.
01:08:30They've nipped a chap, a sort of foreigner.
01:08:32Steady, does it, Bert?
01:08:33Scotland Yard just reports that they've caught a man named Nicola Rabinoff.
01:08:37Caught him in Miss Waller's flat, and he's confessed, sir.
01:08:40Confessed that he killed Miss Waller.
01:08:44Tell the Scotland Yard men I'll see them in a few moments.
01:08:49Well, you're twice lucky, young man.
01:08:51This, of course, clears you absolutely.
01:08:57Too bad, my dear, this couldn't have come a bit sooner.
01:09:00It would have saved this ugly explanation.
01:09:04The gentleman's cold again.
01:09:07Covering up the unpleasant thing.
01:09:10I'd have told him anyway.
01:09:12I'm convinced you would.
01:09:17Thanks so much.
01:09:19I'm sorry.
01:09:30Really sorry.
01:09:32I believe you are.
01:09:35But still sorry for the wrong person.
01:09:38Goodbye, Sir Gerald.
01:09:42Goodbye, Jerry, old man.
01:09:43There's just one other thing, Sir Gerald.
01:10:00Russell was in my apartment last night.
01:10:03All night.
01:10:05But I wasn't with him.
01:10:08As you were, Sir Gerald.
01:10:09That doesn't change things in the least with you and me.
01:10:16As for this, you know, I have a sort of code, too.
01:10:21I'll probably be sorry for this in the morning.
01:10:26However, right now...
01:10:33June!
01:10:36June!
01:10:37Don't you think you've caused her trouble enough?
01:10:39Father!
01:10:45She loves you.
01:10:48Go after her.
01:10:52Wherever she goes, my boy, I'll follow.
01:10:55Oh!
01:11:19You think you've caused her trouble enough?
