00:00It seems rather strange that we should meet again.

00:29Under almost the same circumstances.

00:32Merely coincidence.

00:33I dined here, you were here, we met.

00:37I wonder if it's so easily explained.

00:39You always seem to be around when something unusual happens to me.

00:42You're a guardian angel.

00:45What can I do for you, Colonel? I'm afraid my time is limited.

00:48Well, sir, I am writing a book.

00:50A book that will establish definitely and for all time

00:53that the South did not lose a civil war.

00:57I fear the general impression is somewhat to the contrary.

01:00Yankee lies, sir, Yankee lies.

01:03Dating back to Sherman's March to the Sea,

01:05which my book will unquestionably prove was a retreat.

01:10That's fine.

01:11How can I help you?

01:13Well, I should like to ensure my daughter against marriage

01:15for the next three years.

01:17I feel that in that time I can finish my book.

01:19Now, I would like the policy made out for a mere trifle,

01:22say, 50,000, in the event she does marry.

01:39I think that the world has suddenly stopped.

01:42And you and I are the only two people on it.

01:45Now, I love you.

01:48I've waited weeks to hear you say that.

01:50Darling.

01:51But you can't love me.

01:53What?

01:54It says so in your policy.
