00:00The End

00:30I tell you, I can't go now. The paper's in the jam. We're facing a libel suit.

00:46Well, you're facing a breach of promise suit. If you don't want to marry me, just say so.

00:50I'm glad you're getting yourself all upset, darling, over here, a little drinky maybe.

00:54No, not today I don't. Today I get married.

00:57Will you marry me?

01:00Well, Connie, I...

01:02Will you, Bill?

01:04Will I? Is there a preacher in the house?

01:17Gladys, do you want me to kill myself?

01:19Did you change your insurance?

01:20Would I ask you to do this thing for me if I didn't consider you practically as my wife?

01:24Well, would you ask your wife to hook up with that ape?

01:27The ape objects.

01:28Women can't fool women about men. You don't, Bill.

01:38Oh, no?

01:39Oh, I know. You've got him now. In name, anyway. But I have his love.

01:44They're married, all right.

01:46Oh, but that's arson.

01:47You mean it's bigamy? Well, what a story. Constance Allenbury marries bigamist.

01:53If you publish that, you'll have another libel suit on your hands. I'm not a bigamist.

01:57You married me, didn't you?

01:58Well, uh...

01:59Say, I wouldn't quite as steal Gladys if you were the last female on earth.

02:12Female, huh? That doesn't. You can't stand there and insult Gladys. You know, you've had this coming for a long time, sir.

02:29Yes, and I've been looking forward to it. We'll settle it right now. With interest.

02:35Yes.

02:36The National Anthem
