00:00:00The End
00:02:04Will Mrs. Higginbottom be ready soon?
00:02:06Just a moment, please.
00:02:08Mr. Higginbottom for Mrs. Higginbottom.
00:02:12She'll be ready in just a few moments.
00:02:16I'm sorry, Mrs. Stratton, but we can't take you until next Thursday.
00:02:20Will you please be seated?
00:02:22Yes, and I'd advise a facial for those chins, you know.
00:02:26Very well, 1.30.
00:02:28Madame Helene?
00:02:29No, I'm Miss Mason.
00:02:31I can't disturb Madame Helene just now.
00:02:33But I can tell you all about our course.
00:02:35We use an electrical cabinet to open your pores.
00:02:37Then we place you upon a table where we manipulate the fat,
00:02:40first applying a strong solution so that when the fat cells break down under treatment,
00:02:44the astringent tightens the skin, preventing flabbiness.
00:02:47Then you should have face, neck, and chin treatments to restore youthful contours.
00:02:51Well, how much will all of those treatments be?
00:02:53Only $150 in advance.
00:02:55Have you a pen?
00:02:57I'll make you out a check.
00:03:10This lady's taking our full course, Madame Helene.
00:03:12Oh, how nice.
00:03:13I am Mrs. George Horton.
00:03:15I've heard so much about the wonderful things you've done for other women.
00:03:18I've been meaning to come to you for a long time,
00:03:21but I've been in such delicate health that I've sort of let myself go.
00:03:26You're still a very attractive woman, Mrs. Horton, but decidedly overweight.
00:03:30However, we can correct that if you'll only cooperate with us.
00:03:33I'll do anything.
00:03:35Anything you say.
00:03:37You see, my husband...
00:03:39Well, he used to be so attentive.
00:03:44But recently he's cold.
00:03:46Positively cold.
00:03:48Bessie, will you take Mrs. Horton to a treatment room?
00:03:51Oh dear, I don't think we have room.
00:03:53We'll make room.
00:03:54And after your treatment we'll discuss your diet.
00:03:58Must I diet too?
00:04:00Why I eat so little, just like a bird.
00:04:04Eggs and black coffee for breakfast.
00:04:06Salad, crackers and tea for lunch.
00:04:08Fish, fresh vegetables, fruit and coffee for dinner.
00:04:12How many eggs do you have for breakfast, Mrs. Horton?
00:04:14The maid generally scrambles five.
00:04:17Five?
00:04:18Really, Mrs. Horton, that'll have to stop.
00:04:20But I can't.
00:04:21I get so famished that it makes me dizzy.
00:04:26We can't help you if you won't cooperate.
00:04:29Oh, I'll cooperate.
00:04:31Truly I will.
00:04:32Why, I'd do anything for a figure like yours.
00:04:35That's more like it.
00:04:36Now you go along with Betsy and she'll take good care of us.
00:04:39All right, I will.
00:04:44She eats like a bird.
00:04:45A peck at a time.
00:04:47Oh, good morning, Madame Helene.
00:04:49Good morning, Mrs. Claus.
00:04:50Good morning, Helene.
00:04:51Good morning, Mrs. Clough.
00:04:52Good morning, Helene.
00:04:53Good morning, Mrs. Clough, however.
00:04:58Oh, dear, what torture we poor women have to endure to hold our husbands?
00:05:01Why, only yesterday I told them that men certainly have it easy.
00:05:05Nothing to do all day to sit around and dictate to a little snip of a stenographer
00:05:09and see how I have to suffer.
00:05:10Oh, hello, Helene.
00:05:11Hello.
00:05:12Wasn't that Mrs. George Horton I saw on the corridor?
00:05:15Yes, it was.
00:05:16Well, before I let myself go like that.
00:05:19I see by your card that you've gained a pound this week in position.
00:05:23Are you still dieting?
00:05:24Oh, my dear, I have a new cook and she makes such marvelous pies.
00:05:28Hi.
00:05:29See that she has ten minutes long in the steam room, Lord.
00:05:32Why, I've been steamed so much now, I feel like a suet pudding.
00:05:40I'm late, I know I'm late, but don't scold me, don't scold me.
00:05:44I know I had to exercise Prince and I walked ten whole blocks.
00:05:47Well, that's good for you, Madame Renaud.
00:05:49But what happened to your Pekingese?
00:05:51Ramon made me trade him for Prince.
00:05:53He thought I'd look smaller alongside of him.
00:05:56And I know I've lost pounds and pounds exercising him.
00:06:00Oh, my God.
00:06:03Why, Helene, I thought...
00:06:08Prince, you naughty dog giving me such a scare.
00:06:11Go get your things up, Ma. It'll take you in a little while.
00:06:13Prince, you certainly gave me an awful scare.
00:06:16You had me believe in it.
00:06:17One...
00:06:19Two...
00:06:20Touch the floor.
00:06:22Somebody touch the floor now.
00:06:24One...
00:06:25Two...
00:06:26Touch the floor.
00:06:28One...
00:06:29Two...
00:06:30Touch the floor...
00:06:32Somebody touch the floor now.
00:06:33One...
00:06:35Mrs. Conley, how many times have I told you alcohol is very fathening?
00:06:40But I feel scrumptious.
00:06:43I feel like a million dollars that wants to take a nap.
00:06:47Olga.
00:06:48Continue your exercise to lay me.
00:06:52Get someone to help you carry her to a shower room.
00:06:55Yes, madam.
00:06:55You're right.
00:07:05What's the matter?
00:07:06You're a thundering herd getting you down again?
00:07:08Oh, I do get fed up everlastingly trying to carve figures out of fat
00:07:12and being forced to listen to their silly scandals and malicious gossip.
00:07:16You should worry as long as they have fat bankrolls.
00:07:19You know, you're not doing so badly for a little girl
00:07:21that didn't know where her next meal was coming from five slim years ago.
00:07:24Oh, I'm making money all right, but I want to do more than that.
00:07:28I want to help women stay fit and look their best.
00:07:31One way of keeping their husbands home nice.
00:07:33They get so discouraged when they won't even try to help themselves.
00:07:36Oh, don't let her throw you at these big apple dumplings.
00:07:38They're too dumb to listen, do you?
00:07:40You're doing a noble work, gal.
00:07:42Ah.
00:07:43Look, Mary G.
00:07:43I wouldn't have got to first date in this place without you.
00:07:46And I'm not forgetting that.
00:07:47Pooey.
00:07:48I'm not forgetting that you pulled me out of the back line of a chorus
00:07:50to give me a job and an interest in the place after we got going.
00:07:54What do you say we quit patting each other on the back and get to work?
00:07:57All right.
00:07:57What's on the list?
00:07:58Well, there's an editor of a beauty magazine wants to pay you a thousand dollars
00:08:03for an article on why blondes paid sooner than brunettes.
00:08:06Do they?
00:08:07For a thousand bucks, I'll say they do.
00:08:09I'll dictate that tomorrow.
00:08:11So let me write that one for you.
00:08:12Hello, Terry.
00:08:13How are the goddesses of the bath?
00:08:15We're busy, scram.
00:08:17What?
00:08:17Before I get my daily tidbits of gossip for the little old column?
00:08:20Not a chance.
00:08:20You're wasting your time today, Terry.
00:08:22We're having a bit of news.
00:08:24Oh, don't give me that.
00:08:25Why, this scandal house of yours is worth a story a day.
00:08:28That's why I spend so much time around here.
00:08:30Hmm.
00:08:31I thought Maisie had something to do with that.
00:08:33Huh?
00:08:35They may be right.
00:08:36Fact is, I might get around to marrying the gal if you ever shut up shop.
00:08:40I sure miss this place.
00:08:42I say, this is one of the sights of New York.
00:08:44You look in the right place.
00:08:45Oh, I never would've always stuttered in all my life to think that that woman...
00:08:49Why, Mrs. Willis...
00:08:50How dare you allow my first husband's second wife to come here?
00:08:53Oh, I...
00:08:54You know the creature stole him.
00:08:56And yet you had Olga place her and let the cabinet right next to me.
00:08:59Oh, I'm so sorry, Mrs. Willis.
00:09:00Do you know what she told Olga about me?
00:09:02I haven't the fantastic idea.
00:09:04What was it?
00:09:04Well, I'm too much of a lady to even repeat it.
00:09:07And what's more, I'm leaving here this very instant.
00:09:11Lady, if you do, you'll make the headline.
00:09:14Oh!
00:09:17Well, don't forget to slide your eye down my column in the morning
00:09:20for the latest news from Scandal House.
00:09:25So, that headache's gone.
00:09:27On with the mail.
00:09:28Where did he go?
00:09:30Mrs. Stanton Fairchild has left the honor of your company
00:09:33at her snooty bridge tea a week from the day.
00:09:35Oh.
00:09:36I'd like to bow out of that one.
00:09:39I don't like tea and I hate bridge.
00:09:41A fine attitude to take toward your future aunt-in-law.
00:09:44Future aunt-in-law?
00:09:45Don't you think you're taking a lot for granted?
00:09:47Say, listen, if you're not practically engaged to that good-looking nephew of hers,
00:09:51I'll wear a mud pack on my kisser the rest of my days.
00:09:55Well, I like Dr. Stalin's all right, but...
00:09:57You ought to.
00:09:58This place would have gone right on its nose
00:10:00if he hadn't sent you all his Park Avenue friends.
00:10:02Yeah, I guess you're right.
00:10:04And don't think I'm ungrateful.
00:10:06I realize that Herb's the one that made it all possible.
00:10:09And I appreciate it.
00:10:11Well, I suppose you're merely admiring him.
00:10:13Madly.
00:10:14I don't know him.
00:10:16Anyhow, I'm having dinner with him tonight.
00:10:18Yes?
00:10:21A Mr. Milo to see you.
00:10:23She won't talk to anyone else.
00:10:26Won't you sit down for me?
00:10:28She'll be right out.
00:10:40Did you wish to see me?
00:10:42Yes, I thought I might enjoy the relaxation of your treatment.
00:10:46Not that I need to reduce.
00:10:48You're very wise to take care of such a lovely figure.
00:10:51An ounce of prevention is better than pounds of unsightly fat.
00:10:54Yes.
00:10:55I'm out so much in the evening.
00:10:57I think your face treatments will keep my skin toned up
00:11:00and prevent tired lines.
00:11:02You're quite right.
00:11:03Our course is $150.
00:11:05Oh, I'm not interested in the price.
00:11:07All right, there, there.
00:11:08Here.
00:11:15Would you care to start today?
00:11:16Oh, just the facial.
00:11:18Someone's calling for me a little later.
00:11:20Step this way.
00:11:22You wait in the car, Debbie.
00:11:23You big ox.
00:11:48Cut that out and get under the table.
00:11:49You big ox.
00:11:49Cut that out and get under the table.
00:11:51You big ox.
00:11:52You big ox.
00:11:52You big ox.
00:11:53Let's open it.
00:11:53You big ox.
00:11:54You big ox.
00:11:55You big ox.
00:11:55You big ox.
00:11:57Change the .
00:11:58You big ox.
00:11:59Whman.
00:11:59You, big ox.
00:12:00You big ox.
00:12:00To be revealed.
00:12:01Yeah.
00:12:02You have to do it.
00:12:02OK.
00:12:02You big ox.
00:12:16You et on a ngà y wait.
00:12:17Are you ready, Madam Lenore?
00:12:30Yes, Maude. You're giving me a good workout today.
00:12:32You know I've got to get this weight off.
00:12:34Yes, ma'am.
00:12:38All right, Maude. I'm ready.
00:12:43Oh, that hurt.
00:12:45That's all right. That's where I want you to take it off.
00:12:48Ouch! Ouch!
00:12:54Anything wrong with you, Madam Lenore?
00:12:55No, no. Go right ahead, Maude. I can take it.
00:12:59All right, Maude.
00:13:05Oh!
00:13:12Hey, let's go back to the house!
00:13:13Let's go back to the house!
00:13:15Come, come, come, come, come, come!
00:13:18Oh, he's in me! He's in me! He's in me!
00:13:20He's in me! He's in me!
00:13:22Come on! He's in me!
00:13:23Come on!
00:13:23Oh!
00:13:24Oh, my God!
00:13:25It's going to be all right.
00:13:26There, there, boy. Take it easy.
00:13:27Don't let these ladies scare you.
00:13:29That a boy.
00:13:29Princey, you naughty dog!
00:13:31You shouldn't have done that!
00:13:34Soap suds.
00:13:35No wonder he's mad.
00:13:37All right, you ladies can relax now.
00:13:38I have a situation well in hand.
00:13:40Jesse, take that dog out and tie it up.
00:13:42I've quit.
00:13:43I've had enough of this madhouse.
00:13:45You can't quit now, Maude.
00:13:46I've got to take off another 50 pounds.
00:13:49She could lose 150 and never miss him.
00:13:52She would have lost a lot more than that if you hadn't stepped in.
00:13:54How can I have a fancy?
00:14:03By marrying me.
00:14:04That's what I came to talk to you about.
00:14:06Well, I never saw you before in my life.
00:14:08Oh, that's all right.
00:14:09Now, let's cut out the monkey business and get married.
00:14:12What am I supposed to do?
00:14:14Call a psychopathic ward?
00:14:15Or a cop?
00:14:16Who are you?
00:14:17Oh, I'm just a nobody that got to be a somebody, Helen.
00:14:20Helen.
00:14:21The name is Helene Smith.
00:14:23No, I was playing Helen Smith when you were a kid on Tent Avenue.
00:14:26Tent Avenue?
00:14:28How did you know I was from Tent Avenue?
00:14:29You just told me.
00:14:30I did not.
00:14:31No, I know Tent Avenue when I hear it.
00:14:33I'm from there myself.
00:14:35Pat Fenton's the name, and you'd better learn to like it because you'll beware.
00:14:38It might interest you to know, Mr. Fenton, that I'm engaged to Dr. Herbert Stallings.
00:14:42Perhaps you've heard of him.
00:14:43Listen to you, you're not going to marry him.
00:14:45They don't speak his language.
00:14:46Tent Avenue and Park Avenue don't mix.
00:14:48Say, you are crazy.
00:14:50Yeah.
00:14:50I've been crazy ever since I saw you with him at the Ritz the other night.
00:14:53And right then and there, I made up my mind to marry him.
00:14:55So, I started checking in.
00:14:57Oh.
00:14:58So, that's how you found out I was from Tent Avenue.
00:15:00Right.
00:15:01And I sent Ruth to Milo over here, so I'd have an excuse to meet you.
00:15:04Oh.
00:15:05I'll tell Mr. Milo you're here.
00:15:10What do you do?
00:15:11I thought we got rid of you once.
00:15:13I saw Pat Fenton come in here, and where he goes, I go.
00:15:16That guy is news.
00:15:17Who is he, anyhow?
00:15:19My good woman, there should ought to be a law against such profound ignorance.
00:15:24Around these parts, everybody thinks Pat Fenton owns some of our leading racehorses.
00:15:29Usually leading by a length, if you know what I mean.
00:15:32Very deep, Terry, but I think I get it.
00:15:34And it's rumored, just rumored, mind you, that Mr. Fenton moves in the highest gambling circles in town.
00:15:41So?
00:15:42And it's also rumored that he's quite a guy with a fair sex, in case you were interested.
00:15:47Which I certainly am not.
00:15:52Hello, dear.
00:15:53Hello, Herbert.
00:15:53You're early.
00:15:54I didn't expect you for an hour.
00:15:55Hello, Terry.
00:15:56Hiya, Doc.
00:15:57Well, I thought you might enjoy taking a drive before having dinner.
00:15:59I'd love it.
00:16:00I'll be ready in just a moment.
00:16:01Have you had a hard day?
00:16:02Oh, no, just the usual routine.
00:16:05I, uh, I have a complaint, Madam Helene.
00:16:08I was here before this other customer, and yet you walked right out of them.
00:16:11Oh, Pat, darling.
00:16:13Oh, I'm so glad you're here.
00:16:14I hope I didn't keep you waiting long.
00:16:16I don't think you're getting away with anything.
00:16:18Remember, the customer is always right.
00:16:23An old friend?
00:16:24No, but a very fresh one.
00:16:26I suppose all sorts of people come to a place like this.
00:16:28Oh, darling, one of the baby hippos, I mean ladies, just fainted.
00:16:31Is it serious?
00:16:32I don't worry.
00:16:32I'll take care of it.
00:16:33Where is she?
00:16:33Come on.
00:16:40Right in here, Doc.
00:16:44Oh, dear, oh, dear.
00:16:45Poor Mrs. Conway.
00:16:46Is she going to die?
00:16:47No such luck.
00:16:48Last night she had a big time, and today she has a big head.
00:16:52Stop tickling.
00:16:53You better call her captain, Mrs. Conway.
00:17:12All right, get her dressed.
00:17:13Yes, ma'am.
00:17:14You sure?
00:17:18Yeah, she's all right.
00:17:19Elaine, I wish you'd give up this salon.
00:17:21Why, Herb, I've done nice clients.
00:17:24I know, but a place like this is always bound to attract questionable characters, people with
00:17:28whom I don't care to see you associate.
00:17:30Well, I like my work.
00:17:32Besides, it's my livelihood.
00:17:33It needn't be.
00:17:34Why not marry me and let me do the worrying?
00:17:36Your aunt's very ambitious for you, Herbert.
00:17:38She wants you to marry someone out of the top drawer.
00:17:41And Helen Smith, a near nobody.
00:17:43Nonsense.
00:17:44My aunt admires you for what you've made of yourself, and she'll accept you.
00:17:47And so will all my friends, for your sake, as well as my own.
00:17:51Do you think I could really make you happy?
00:17:54The happiest man in the world.
00:17:57I like you better than anyone I know, Herbert.
00:18:00And I do enjoy being with you.
00:18:02But I'm not sure I love you.
00:18:05If you want me that way.
00:18:07I'll be satisfied.
00:18:08When can I have my aunt announce our engagement?
00:18:10Oh, please, let's wait a little while.
00:18:13I want to be sure.
00:18:15Well, certainly.
00:18:15Oh, by the way, dear, plans were completed today for the new hospital, mind-blowing.
00:18:19Work will start very shortly.
00:18:20Oh, that's wonderful, Herb.
00:18:21Yes, I was thinking it would give you some welfare work to do to occupy your mind after you give up this place.
00:18:26Oh, I'd love to be something like that.
00:18:28Now, let's call it all settled.
00:18:29Oh, please, not now.
00:18:31All right, dear.
00:18:33Take all the time you need.
00:18:34You are a darling.
00:18:36And I'm sure we should be happy.
00:18:41If you don't mind, Herb, I'm desperately tired.
00:18:43I don't feel after dinner tonight.
00:18:45All right, dear.
00:18:46What you need is rest and a good night's sleep.
00:18:49I'll see you tomorrow.
00:18:49Oh, I'll see you tomorrow.
00:18:55Oh, yeah.
00:18:58Oh, yeah.
00:19:00Oh, yeah.
00:19:02Oh, yeah.
00:19:07Oh, yeah.
00:19:11Oh, yeah.
00:19:13Oh, yeah.
00:19:15There isn't any cards.
00:19:42I brought them in person.
00:19:44How in the world did you get in here?
00:19:46Very simple.
00:19:47When maids are listening, money talks.
00:19:49You have got nerves.
00:19:50Sure.
00:19:51Bain heart and air took fair jackpots.
00:19:52Well, you can take your stuff right out of here.
00:19:54Oh, no.
00:19:55You and I are going places, Duchess.
00:19:56Now, put on the royal robes and don't forget the dandelions.
00:20:00They are lovely.
00:20:01But if I wore them all, I'd look like a walking hop-hop.
00:20:03Hot or cold, you look swell to me.
00:20:05Now, come on.
00:20:06I picked out a nice big doorbell for us to ring.
00:20:08Some other time.
00:20:09I'm tired.
00:20:09I need rest.
00:20:10What you need is a vacation from those two-ton trucks that come into your place for service.
00:20:14Now, come on.
00:20:15I'll be a change for you.
00:20:16All my fasts above the ears.
00:20:18I'm sorry about that.
00:20:19Now, do I have to carry out or are you going to come peaceably?
00:20:21Did you hear me say I wasn't coming at all?
00:20:23Yes, but I'm not the kind of a guy that believes everything he hears.
00:20:25Now, go on in and get those glad rags on before I slap those pretty little ears down.
00:20:28But I...
00:20:29Oh, God.
00:20:31Oh, God.
00:20:39Oh, God.
00:20:43Oh, God.
00:21:45Six lengths ahead of the field.
00:21:47Lady Love, shall we smile for you?
00:21:48Yeah.
00:21:49Now run along, Louie, and hurry up that bubble water.
00:21:51Right away, Mr. Fenton.
00:21:53Right away.
00:21:56Excuse me, Ruth.
00:21:57I'll be right back.
00:22:03Hello, Pat.
00:22:04Hello, George.
00:22:05How about introducing my girlfriend?
00:22:09Some other time.
00:22:10What's the matter with right now?
00:22:12We're busy and you're tight.
00:22:14Oh, me?
00:22:16Say, I was never looser in my life.
00:22:18Now run along, George, and I'll see you at the office tomorrow morning.
00:22:20Oh, okay.
00:22:23That's the way you feel.
00:22:28Who was that?
00:22:29George Horton.
00:22:30He's my lawyer.
00:22:31George Horton?
00:22:32By his wife, a new client of mine.
00:22:33If he's the reason she's trying to get back her appearance, she has my sympathy.
00:22:41That Pat Fenton surely can pick him.
00:22:44Referring to racehorses or ladies?
00:22:46Both.
00:22:47But in this case, I mean the magnificent mama he's with now.
00:22:52Common person.
00:22:53Runs a bathhouse or something of that sort.
00:22:55Say, there's nothing common about her.
00:22:58Except possibly the fellow she's with.
00:23:08Well, here's mud in your eye and happiness in your heart.
00:23:12And here's to you.
00:23:17Brad, you came?
00:23:19Yes.
00:23:20Perhaps this is just what I needed.
00:23:22You're just what I needed.
00:23:23I've been looking for you all my life.
00:23:26I expected a more original line from you.
00:23:28I'm not giving you a line.
00:23:30Perhaps you'd better throw me one because I've certainly gone on the board for you.
00:23:34I think we'd better down.
00:23:35All right, but we're only wasting time.
00:23:37We might just as well be rousing up a minister.
00:23:47Can you imagine that?
00:23:51They never even thought.
00:23:53Love is blind.
00:23:54What man about town is that way about what lovely owner of what well-known emporium for reducing overweight ladies and their fat bankrolls?
00:24:15You're not going to print back.
00:24:17News is news.
00:24:18The doc would be furious.
00:24:19It would ruin everything.
00:24:21So what?
00:24:21Little Helene seems to prefer a guy who packs a rabbit's foot instead of a thermometer.
00:24:26What do you know about it?
00:24:27Get a load for yourself.
00:24:29Now, when do you have all those Park Avenue girls skipping and waddling around your place?
00:24:38You seem to know all the steps.
00:24:39And apparently you know all the answers.
00:24:54I'm cutting in, Pat.
00:24:55Oh, no, you're not.
00:24:57That's right.
00:24:57After I dig up all the information about her, you try to keep her a secret from me.
00:25:01What's he talking about?
00:25:03Don't pay any attention to him.
00:25:04Now, get out before I have you thrown out.
00:25:06Sure.
00:25:07Always get someone else to do your dirty work for you.
00:25:20Helene!
00:25:22Helene!
00:25:27Hey, follow that tab!
00:25:37Come on, that guy's liable to turn a machine gun on her unless you marry him.
00:25:45Follow those two taxis.
00:25:47Listen, lady, I ain't twins.
00:25:49No, but you'll be in two pieces if you don't get going.
00:25:51No, but you'll be in two pieces if you don't get going.
00:25:51No, but you'll be in two pieces if you don't get going.
00:25:53Okay, now.
00:25:54Hey, what are you doing?
00:25:55We have a go!
00:25:56Maybe you'll be back.
00:25:58Hey, look.
00:26:01What are you doing?
00:26:01Let's see.
00:26:06Watch the sea clearing.
00:26:07laissez-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la.
00:26:08Hello?
00:26:23Come up? Of course you can't come up.
00:26:26I never want to see you again as long as I live.
00:26:30Certainly I blame you, hiring your lawyer to look me up and then brawling over me in a public place.
00:26:34Listen, Helene, I can explain everything if you just let me come up.
00:26:37Hello? Hello?
00:26:43Who is that?
00:26:45It's Maisie and Carly.
00:26:47See, what's the idea?
00:26:48We came to Xavier from that Lugfetton. He camped downstairs in the lobby so we came up the back way.
00:26:53Shh! That's him now. Pretend you don't hear him.
00:26:56Open in the name of the law.
00:26:59Get away from that door. I'll call the police.
00:27:01That's a good idea. I know them all by their first names. They might give me a hand.
00:27:05Are you gonna get away from here?
00:27:07Not to tell me you love me, but all is forgiven and I can come back home.
00:27:11Never!
00:27:12Then there's only one thing left for me to do. I'll have to break the door down.
00:27:15Look out, I'm coming through.
00:27:17Haven't you humiliated me enough for one night without causing any more scandal?
00:27:21Okay, honey. You win. I'll see you in the morning.
00:27:26Good night, gorgeous. And remember, I love you.
00:27:29And I hate you! I hate you! I hate you!
00:27:31She hates me. She hates me not. She hates me. She hates me not. She hates me. She hates me not. She hates me. She hates me. She hates me. She hates me. She hates me. She hates me. She hates me. She hates me. She hates me. She hates me. She hates me. She hates me. She hates me. She hates me. She hates me. She hates me. She hates me. She hates me. She hates me. She hates me. She hates me. She hates me. She hates me. She hates me. She hates me. She hates me. She hates me. She hates me. She hates me. She hates me. She hates me. She hates me. She hates me. She hates me. She hates me. She hates me. She hates me. She hates me. She hates me. She hates me. She hates me. She hates me. She hates me. She hates me. She hates me. She hates me. She hates me. She hates me. She hates
00:28:01would never forgive me.
00:28:02Neither will that platinum parasite DeMilo.
00:28:05Do you think Pat cares anything about her?
00:28:08What's that to you?
00:28:09Do you hate him?
00:28:10Certainly I hate him.
00:28:12Listen, Harry.
00:28:13If you don't print anything about tonight,
00:28:15I'll give you an exclusive on my engagement
00:28:17to Dr. Stallings within a few days.
00:28:20You're making a mistake, my sweet.
00:28:22An iceberg like Herbie couldn't make
00:28:23anybody happy but an Eskimo.
00:28:25Shut up, you.
00:28:26Dr. Stallings is Helene's opportunity
00:28:27to crash Park Avenue where real people live,
00:28:29and he's a gentleman.
00:28:30Sure, and about as exciting as a dummy
00:28:32without a ventriloquist.
00:28:33He'll just pass out from old age,
00:28:35sitting in his easy chair.
00:28:37Yeah, and Pat Patton will probably die in a chair, too,
00:28:39but they'll have to strap him in first.
00:28:41Stop it, you two.
00:28:42I can't stand anymore.
00:28:43All right, my pretty one.
00:28:45I live to steal about your little escapade tonight,
00:28:47but look, don't blame me
00:28:48if the other news gougers aren't as kind to you.
00:28:51Come on, crapehanger.
00:28:52Maybe you can sport another good story for me
00:28:54before the night's over.
00:28:55Gee, thanks, Harry.
00:28:56I'd like to marry a guy like you
00:28:58if he wasn't too much like you.
00:28:59Good night, pal.
00:29:01Good night, Major.
00:29:08Well, gal, you're certainly on the tip
00:29:10of everybody's tongue this bright morning.
00:29:12You should get a load of those hens cackling in there.
00:29:15I've seen it.
00:29:15I know it's terrible.
00:29:17I'm so worried about what Herbert's going to think.
00:29:19Yeah, and my Terry's so mad,
00:29:21he's fit to be tied.
00:29:22What about?
00:29:23Because I told him I'd be using the story.
00:29:25All the other papers scoped him.
00:29:26Oh, I'm sorry, Major.
00:29:28And I suppose those are from the big shots.
00:29:31It's a wonder he didn't send
00:29:32the floral horseshoe with tummy pal
00:29:34printed on a ribbon.
00:29:38How about dinner tonight?
00:29:40Yours is possible.
00:29:42George F. Horton attorney.
00:29:44Say, that guy's got more crest than a kidney pie.
00:29:46Send them back to Mr. Horton
00:29:48and tell him I don't care to dine
00:29:49with the husband of one of my clients
00:29:50or any other woman's husband.
00:29:52Listen, the quicker you hog-tie Doc Stallings
00:29:54and drag him to the altar,
00:29:55the better off you'll be.
00:29:56Oh, I can't do that now.
00:29:58It wouldn't be fair to marry her,
00:29:59but with everybody talking about me.
00:30:01I have an important engagement tonight there, Sajun.
00:30:03So make you beautiful.
00:30:05Very beautiful.
00:30:06Oh, my, nothing could make you beautiful.
00:30:08Mm-hmm.
00:30:09What?
00:30:10Well, I mean, you're already beautiful.
00:30:12Why, if I was as lovely as you are,
00:30:14I'd be in the movies or something.
00:30:16Huh.
00:30:17Oh, get me the phone, that's it.
00:30:18Yes, ma'am.
00:30:24Get me Cortland 52311.
00:30:28I said Cortland 52311.
00:30:32Did you hear that?
00:30:34No.
00:30:35That's my husband's private telephone number.
00:30:38Shh.
00:30:39Martial.
00:30:40How are you?
00:30:41Yes, we did have fun last night.
00:30:44No, not tonight.
00:30:45That's why I'm calling you.
00:30:47Oh, I've got a dreadful headache.
00:30:49I'm going to stay home all day
00:30:50and go to bed early.
00:30:52Oh, that'll be all right.
00:30:54Well, bye-bye, George.
00:30:55See you soon.
00:30:59Oh, I think I have a manicure too, Bessie.
00:31:01Tell Peggy to come in here, will you?
00:31:04If you think you're going to steal my husband
00:31:06right from under my very nose,
00:31:07you're to be.
00:31:08Well, for goodness sake,
00:31:09what's the matter with you?
00:31:10Who are you?
00:31:11I am Mrs. George Horton.
00:31:14Oh, Mrs. Horton.
00:31:16Well, how are you, Mrs. Horton?
00:31:18I know your husband.
00:31:19That is, I know him in a business way.
00:31:20Purely business, of course.
00:31:21I was out with him last night.
00:31:23So, yeah, he's my attorney.
00:31:25You can't fool me with a story like that.
00:31:27Oh, my.
00:31:28I heard you talking to my husband.
00:31:31Oh, Miss Helene, please come quick.
00:31:34There's an awful ride going on between Mrs. Horton and Mr. Milo.
00:31:37You've just got to do something.
00:31:38They're having an awful time out there.
00:31:40My husband has an office in which to conduct business.
00:31:43Ladies, please.
00:31:44Oh, Helene, Mrs. Horton's under the impression that I'm interested in her husband.
00:31:49Isn't that ridiculous?
00:31:50Oh, I'm sure you're mistaken, Mrs. Horton.
00:31:52I happen to know the man who is interested in Mr. Milo.
00:31:55Oh, yes.
00:31:56Oh, yes, everybody knows that Pat Fettin and I are engaged.
00:32:00Then you stick to Pat Fettin and keep away from my husband.
00:32:03I'm sure she will, Mrs. Horton.
00:32:04Come along and finish your treatment.
00:32:15What's the matter?
00:32:15Am I nervous this morning?
00:32:17Yes, I am.
00:32:18These richly women make me tired.
00:32:20Nothing to do but lie around and eat like pigs
00:32:23and talk, talk, talk about each other.
00:32:26But where I came from,
00:32:27women are busy baking and scrubbing and tending their kids.
00:32:30They're out in the field helping their men.
00:32:32They haven't time to talk.
00:32:34It's a nice place where you come from.
00:32:36Yes, it is.
00:32:37And I'm going to quit and buy me a farm.
00:32:39Oh, you can't do that, Maude.
00:32:40After all, Helene's done for you.
00:32:42She needs you.
00:32:44Oh, you know I wouldn't quit.
00:32:46I didn't think you would.
00:32:50I'm an expert masseuse, Madam Helene.
00:32:59Have you got an opening for me?
00:33:01Yes, there's a manhole right outside.
00:33:03Uh-oh.
00:33:04Never mind ringing for help.
00:33:05I want to talk to you.
00:33:06I'm a very busy person, Mr. Fenton.
00:33:08If you're waiting for Mr. Milo, you...
00:33:09Will you get this into your head?
00:33:10That closed horse means nothing to me.
00:33:12I'm only interested in thoroughbred.
00:33:14I've been wanting to do that ever since the first time I saw you.
00:33:20I suppose I had it coming to me because I was fool enough to go out with you.
00:33:23But I'll admit I was curious about the so-called man about town who's such a famous ladies' man.
00:33:28You were a very interesting experience, Mr. Fenton.
00:33:30But like all experiences, a thing of the past.
00:33:33If you, I'm a thing of the future.
00:33:34I have something to say about that.
00:33:36I have something to say about that.
00:34:06Oh, Mrs. Horton must feel dreadful having a husband mixed up innocently in such a mess.
00:34:20Well, I wouldn't trust any man.
00:34:22Nor any woman.
00:34:23Although I wouldn't have thought her length.
00:34:25Ow!
00:34:26Be careful, Maude.
00:34:28Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:34:36Just imagine Helene taking up with that Pat Fenton and getting mixed up with a showgirl.
00:34:46If you'd stay away from Pat Fenton, it wouldn't have happened.
00:34:50Since when, Mr. Milo, have you acquired a monopoly on all the men in town, both married and single?
00:34:56Mr. Fenton and I are engaged.
00:35:00Congratulations.
00:35:01Perhaps you'd better tell Mr. Fenton about it.
00:35:03He doesn't seem to know.
00:35:06What does this awful story about my husband mean?
00:35:11Well, I, I, I'm sure I don't know Mrs. Fenton.
00:35:14I don't even know him.
00:35:16Well, he seems to know you.
00:35:26So you're the woman who's been keeping my husband out at night
00:35:29and trying to make it appear that it was Mr. Milo.
00:35:32Now, you listen to me.
00:35:33Your husband did send me flowers, and I sent them right back.
00:35:36And I wouldn't go to dinner with him or any place else if he was the last man on earth.
00:35:40He's nothing but a silly old fool.
00:35:42And the next time I see him, I'll tell him so.
00:35:44I'll see to it that there won't be a next time.
00:35:47Hello?
00:35:48Hello?
00:35:50Dr. Starling, please.
00:35:56Oh?
00:35:57Hello, Dr. Starling, please.
00:36:12Oh, please tell him that Madame Helene called, and I'd like to see him this afternoon.
00:36:27Pardon me, but will my wife be out soon?
00:36:31Any minute now, Mr. Higginbottom.
00:36:36Andy, how do I look?
00:36:42Immense, darling, immense.
00:36:44Oh, I'm so thrilled. I'm down to 285 pounds.
00:36:49Isn't it wonderful?
00:36:51If we get any more strange animals around here, I'm going to start setting traps.
00:37:00What now?
00:37:01Mrs. Gerard just showed up with a monkey.
00:37:03She says if her nought can bring her dog, she isn't going to leave little Jocko home.
00:37:06A monkey, huh?
00:37:08Well, she certainly brought him to the right place.
00:37:19You stay here like a good little boy?
00:37:21And be as quiet as a mouse, and don't you dare leave this table.
00:37:25Bessie, will you please get me a glass of weather?
00:37:53Bessie, will you please get me a glass of water? My head's splitting.
00:37:58In a moment, ma'am. It would be a nice change for you.
00:38:02What do you mean tonight? A lonely day.
00:38:23Where's my glass of water?
00:38:35Oh, Bessie, my head's pounding enough without you pounding it.
00:38:47What's the matter? No monkey can do that to me.
00:38:50I didn't do anything, ma'am.
00:38:52Oh, not you. There's a monkey in my hair.
00:38:56Oh, you're just seeing things, ma'am. It's your condition.
00:38:58I tell you, I did see a monkey in my hair.
00:39:01Well, there's no monkey there now.
00:39:03I had an uncle once used to see pink elephants and purple giraffes, but a monkey.
00:39:06That's a new one on me.
00:39:07I think you'd better come and have a sweat in your legs with Katniss.
00:39:09Well, you say so.
00:39:11Come.
00:39:11You've already helped me a lot, Maude.
00:39:32Ramon was saying this morning I look more like myself.
00:39:34When I run a scale, I can reach high sea again.
00:39:49Maude, what cold hand you have.
00:39:52Owl.
00:39:59What's the matter?
00:40:00There's a monkey in here.
00:40:02Where are these monkeys?
00:40:04Tilly, if my husband ever found out I got to a point where I see monkeys, I'd never hear the end of it.
00:40:11Tilly, I have a feeling I'm not alone in here.
00:40:33Oh!
00:40:35Oh!
00:40:37Let me out of here!
00:40:38Will you please tell Miss Helene that I'm here?
00:40:59Just a moment, Dr. Stolling.
00:41:00I'll tell her.
00:41:02Madam Helene, Dr. Stolling, to see you.
00:41:08Hello, Herbert.
00:41:13I'm glad you're here.
00:41:19Suppose you saw the papers.
00:41:20Yes, I saw them.
00:41:23You seem to be very angry.
00:41:25Don't you expect me to be?
00:41:27It wasn't altogether my fault.
00:41:29You don't have to explain anything.
00:41:31But other people aren't equally broad-minded.
00:41:34I suppose your aunt's curious.
00:41:36She was displeased.
00:41:38Scandal chatter like that is always distasteful.
00:41:42Then perhaps we'd better forget the talk we had yesterday.
00:41:45You mean about announcing our engagement?
00:41:47Yes.
00:41:48I don't want to forget it.
00:41:50Do you?
00:41:52No.
00:41:53Then let's put an end to all this unpleasant gossip.
00:41:56And we'll be married as soon as you dispose of this place.
00:42:01I suppose that would be best.
00:42:03Now you're being sensible.
00:42:05And I'll do everything in my power to make you happy.
00:42:08Hold everything.
00:42:10Am I intruding?
00:42:11I hope.
00:42:12You most certainly are.
00:42:13Get out.
00:42:14I didn't think you'd have the nerve to come here again.
00:42:16I presume this is the gentleman who, according to one of our leading columnists,
00:42:19comes here to study bad facts.
00:42:21Why not?
00:42:22You doctors aren't the only ones interested in anatomy.
00:42:25Come on, I'm taking you to dinner.
00:42:26Oh, no, Mr. Fenton, you're a trifle late.
00:42:28Mr. Lane has just agreed to become my wife.
00:42:32Is this on the level?
00:42:34Certainly.
00:42:34I'm not going to let you marry this guy.
00:42:36You don't love him, do you?
00:42:39Well, do you?
00:42:40Uh, we, we understand each other.
00:42:44That's not enough.
00:42:44That'll be plenty from you, Fenton.
00:42:46Now, please be gentleman enough to leave.
00:42:48Look here, Doc.
00:42:49I'm crazy about this girl, too.
00:42:51And I'm not letting her crack up her life by marrying somebody she doesn't give a steam-heated
00:42:54hoot about.
00:42:54It might be a good idea, Fenton.
00:42:56If Elaine were allowed to decide that for herself.
00:42:59Pat, won't you please go?
00:43:01Please.
00:43:05Okay.
00:43:10Hello?
00:43:13It's the hospital for you, Doctor.
00:43:16Dr. Stirling speaking.
00:43:18I'll be there immediately.
00:43:20I have to go, dear.
00:43:21It's an emergency case.
00:43:22I'll pick you up later at your apartment.
00:43:24I understand, dear.
00:43:34Oh, hello.
00:43:35Fancy meeting you here is a sale on Park Avenue.
00:43:37Get away from me before I start using 10th Avenue language on you.
00:43:41There ought to be a law against men like you.
00:43:43Well, if there isn't, I'll have one passed for you.
00:43:45There isn't anything I wouldn't do for you, Gorgeous.
00:43:47Officer.
00:43:48What's wrong, lady?
00:43:49This man.
00:43:50Well, he looks all right to me.
00:43:51He's following me.
00:43:52Oh, so he's a masher, eh?
00:43:54Officer, you're a married man, aren't you?
00:43:56Yeah, sure.
00:43:57What's it tell you?
00:43:58Well, would you let your wife look with another guy?
00:44:00Oh, I see.
00:44:01So that's it.
00:44:01Now, see here, lady.
00:44:02But I'm not married to him.
00:44:04Oh, don't you believe her, officer?
00:44:05She fell for this other guy just because he's got a bigger car than me.
00:44:08Oh, no.
00:44:08That's the modern woman for you.
00:44:10I'll leave it to all of you.
00:44:11Is that any way to treat a man just because he's out of a job?
00:44:13Don't let her get away with it, buddy.
00:44:15I lost my wife the same way.
00:44:17Do you mind your own business?
00:44:18Yeah, yeah.
00:44:18You better take it easy.
00:44:19She's got a bad temper.
00:44:21Oh, I don't know why I love her the way I do.
00:44:23All right.
00:44:23Get along with you before I run you in.
00:44:25Don't you see you're stopping traffic?
00:44:26She stops traffic wherever she goes.
00:44:28She's so beautiful.
00:44:29All right.
00:44:30Well, get along with you then.
00:44:32Okay, officer.
00:44:32There you are.
00:44:42Go buy yourself a new cab.
00:44:43This one's squeezed.
00:44:45Well, come on.
00:44:45This is where you get out, too.
00:44:47Why?
00:44:48Why, this is where I live.
00:44:49And you're coming up with me so we can talk without being disturbed.
00:44:51Oh, no, I'm not.
00:44:52This is the end of the line for me.
00:44:55Lady, do you see that great big policeman over there?
00:44:57Well, he's a friend of mine.
00:45:00And all I've got to do is tell him that you tried to pick my pocket, and you'll be in the
00:45:03Who's Gow in five minutes.
00:45:05Pat Fenton, you wouldn't dare.
00:45:06Oh, is that so?
00:45:08Hey, Dugan.
00:45:10All right.
00:45:11I'll go with you.
00:45:11Yes, Mr. Fenton.
00:45:12Oh, Dugan, have a cigar.
00:45:15Thanks.
00:45:16I'll have one tonight after me corned beef and cabbage.
00:45:17Would you like to make five dollars in five minutes?
00:45:25Say, I'd work for a dollar a minute any time.
00:45:28In advance.
00:45:29You don't mind, do you?
00:45:31Okay.
00:45:32What do you want me to do?
00:45:34Just go up to Mr. Fenton's apartment.
00:45:36There's something I want you to tell him.
00:45:38You give me the words, lady.
00:45:39I'll say them.
00:45:42There's no use wasting any more breath arguing.
00:45:45I'm going to marry Dr. Stallings, and that's that.
00:45:47And spend the rest of your life juggling teacups,
00:45:50waiting for him to come home when he's hours late,
00:45:52going screwy with loneliness?
00:45:54No.
00:45:55No, you're not the type.
00:45:56I'm going to help my husband in his hospital work.
00:45:59It never worked.
00:46:01You and I are from the same alley.
00:46:03You're my kind, and I'm yours.
00:46:06I'm going to have ancestors in my family
00:46:08if I have to marry together.
00:46:10Oh, so that's what's got you, huh?
00:46:12Look, the only difference is,
00:46:15Doc Stallings is from a long line of blue bloods,
00:46:17while you and I...
00:46:18Well, we're just from a long line of red undershirts.
00:46:22But don't you see, Pat?
00:46:24Dr. Stallings can give me everything you can,
00:46:26security, position, and the respect that goes with it.
00:46:30Yeah.
00:46:31Everything but the one thing
00:46:32that'll make a woman like you happy.
00:46:35With you, I'd never know anything but uncertainty.
00:46:38Behind a chauffeur in uniform one day,
00:46:40and behind the eight ball the next.
00:46:42Uh-uh, that's why you're wrong.
00:46:44Oh, no, I'm not wrong.
00:46:45I know your type.
00:46:46Helen, just to show you how serious I am about you,
00:46:49I...
00:46:50Well, I got rid of my racing stables
00:46:52and all my other interests.
00:46:53Practically gave them away.
00:46:55Pat, you didn't.
00:46:56Yes.
00:46:57And I was so sure that you'd see things my way
00:46:58that I...
00:47:00Well, I got something for us.
00:47:01Two tickets to Florida.
00:47:04Darling, we'll spend that honeymoon in Palm Beach
00:47:07or any other place in the world your little heart desires.
00:47:09As long as the bankroll holds out,
00:47:10him will come home and I'll...
00:47:12spit on my hands and make an honest living for the both of us.
00:47:18But the doctor...
00:47:19He's only in love with his work.
00:47:21While I...
00:47:23I'm only in love with you.
00:47:28Oh, Pat, I don't know what to do.
00:47:30I do.
00:47:31Come in.
00:47:40Well, Mr. Milo sent me up here for her bags, Mr. Fenton.
00:47:42What bags?
00:47:43She said that we're in the closet.
00:47:45You'd know.
00:47:46Say, what is this?
00:47:47I don't know, sir.
00:47:48She just told me to come up here and get her bags for her.
00:47:50You can give her these, too.
00:47:52Why, you little fool.
00:47:53Are you going to fall for a cheap frame of that?
00:47:55I was a fool to ever listen to you.
00:47:57Say, where's the woman who sent you up here?
00:47:59She was downstairs in the lobby, sir.
00:48:00Yeah?
00:48:01Well, I'll gamble she's not there now.
00:48:03Oh, it's okay.
00:48:03She's already tipped me.
00:48:05Yeah?
00:48:06How much?
00:48:06Five bucks?
00:48:07Five bucks for a cheap frame-up like that?
00:48:10She got a bargain.
00:48:11Oh, cross my heart, Mr. Fenton.
00:48:12I didn't know it was a thing.
00:48:13Yeah?
00:48:14Listen.
00:48:29I was just going up to see Fenton, but I'd much rather see you instead.
00:48:32Mr. Horton, would you please drive me home?
00:48:33Will I, and how?
00:48:34Well, what do you say to a little drink and a bite to eat?
00:48:48Didn't you get my message about not going out with married men?
00:48:51Sure.
00:48:51Well, I knew you were only kidding.
00:48:53I also told your wife to tell you you were a silly old fool.
00:48:56Oh, here now.
00:48:57Wait a minute.
00:48:58Well, if you weren't, you wouldn't be running around getting your name in gossip columns.
00:49:01You're a fine one to preach.
00:49:03You've furnished some pretty hot news yourself.
00:49:05You know, I can't help wondering why your wife is so fond of me.
00:49:08She appreciates me.
00:49:10Besides, I'm still fond of the old girl.
00:49:12Well, then why don't you try showing me?
00:49:14Well, the trouble is, she's allowed herself to go to sleep.
00:49:16Well, if you have any idea of stepping out with me, you might as well forget.
00:49:19Now, listen.
00:49:20Don't forget you invited yourself in here.
00:49:23My mistake.
00:49:24And I'm inviting myself right out.
00:49:25Oh, no, baby.
00:49:30Is she hurt, Ben?
00:49:47I don't know, but you'd better call an ambulance.
00:49:49Would you please open that door and help me get her out?
00:50:00Take it easy, gal.
00:50:04You're in your own little bunk, and nothing broken except maybe your engagement.
00:50:08If they're having an x-ray made of it, we'll know as soon as the doc gets back.
00:50:12Oh, my head feels as if it would explode.
00:50:14It probably will when you get a load of the morning news.
00:50:18Is there anything left of my reputation?
00:50:20Even less than there is of Horton's hair.
00:50:22A million men in New York, and you had to choose that luck for a joyride.
00:50:26Was he hurt?
00:50:27Not even a scratch on that thick hide of his.
00:50:30I suppose Herbert's serious.
00:50:33Maybe yes, maybe no.
00:50:34Only time will tell.
00:50:35He spent most of the night hovering over your bed.
00:50:37He'll be back any minute.
00:50:39Yes, and I'll bet his Aunt Elizabeth will climb his frame.
00:50:42And what'll Mrs. Horton do to Georgie for you?
00:50:44Oh, I've got to get down to the shop.
00:50:46Now, so that says the word, baby.
00:50:48But I've got to see Mrs. Horton and make her understand it was a mistake.
00:50:51And what a mistake.
00:50:54Is she going to do that sort of thing?
00:50:56At least she ought to leave the husband of her clients alone.
00:50:59If it hadn't been for the accident, we might never have known what she was doing.
00:51:02I suppose they were drinking like fish.
00:51:04Oh, dear.
00:51:05They're sewing with filthy cancer.
00:51:08If she realized that we married women in door to keep our husbands, maybe she'd keep away from them.
00:51:12Oh, not her.
00:51:14She even tried to grab Mr. Fenton, my boyfriend.
00:51:16I'll fix her.
00:51:17Oh, shh.
00:51:21Good morning, dear.
00:51:22How is your husband?
00:51:24I don't know.
00:51:25I haven't seen him.
00:51:26We're all so sorry to hear about his accident.
00:51:29Bessie, is Madame Helene here?
00:51:31No, ma'am.
00:51:31She's home in bed.
00:51:32She had an accident.
00:51:32Didn't you know?
00:51:33What's her home phone number?
00:51:35Oh, I can't tell you, ma'am.
00:51:36It's against the rules.
00:51:38I'd see her if I were you, Mrs. Horton.
00:51:40And tell her a thing or two.
00:51:41Bessie, you get Madame Helene on the phone.
00:51:43Yes, ma'am.
00:51:44You know, she's just staying away to avoid seeing you, Mrs. Horton.
00:51:58Never mind.
00:51:58I'll take it.
00:51:59Hello?
00:52:00Yeah.
00:52:01Madame Helene, this is Bessie.
00:52:03I'm awfully sorry about your accident.
00:52:04Yes.
00:52:05Oh, hello, lady.
00:52:07Say, the ladies are here and they're saying, I mean, Mrs. Horton, she's awfully upset.
00:52:11I get it.
00:52:12I'll be right down.
00:52:14The cackling chorus is started.
00:52:16I better get down there.
00:52:17Where do you think you're going?
00:52:18To face the music.
00:52:19Get my clothes.
00:52:21Fools horn in where angels fear to tread.
00:52:25Well, yes, ma'am.
00:52:26Well, I know.
00:52:28Good morning, Helene.
00:52:30How could you do a thing like that?
00:52:33Now, now, Mrs. Horton, it's not as bad as all that.
00:52:36Come into my office and I'll explain just what happened.
00:52:39Listen, please.
00:52:40I'll tell her.
00:52:41She's got to come out.
00:52:42You mean you met my husband by accident?
00:52:45Of course, Mrs. Horton.
00:52:46You see, in order to evade Pat's sentence, there was nothing for me to do except get in
00:52:50your husband's car and ask him to drive me home.
00:52:52The lady's in there now trying to pull the wool over the old queen's eyes.
00:52:55I bet Tender one gets away with it.
00:52:57She won't get away with it.
00:52:59I'll take her back.
00:53:01So you see, Mrs. Horton, neither your husband nor myself was responsible for what happened.
00:53:05You do understand, don't you?
00:53:06Why don't you go into one of the treatment rooms and relax for a little?
00:53:12You're so upset.
00:53:19I'm so bewildered that I can't understand anything.
00:53:22No, ma'am.
00:53:23Betsy, take Mrs. Horton in one of the treatment rooms and see that she's not disturbed.
00:53:27Yes, ma'am.
00:53:28Come this way, Mrs. Horton.
00:53:29Betsy, are you married?
00:53:43No, ma'am.
00:53:43Nobody ever asked me.
00:53:45It's wonderful when your husband loves you.
00:53:48Well, it must be.
00:53:49For me, I've got nothing on my mind but women and hair all day.
00:53:52You've got the canary to go home tonight.
00:53:54It gets pretty lonely.
00:53:55Yes, I suppose so.
00:53:56But it does have its advantages.
00:54:02Betsy, do you know something?
00:54:03What?
00:54:04I'm going to let you dye my hair.
00:54:06I've been thinking about it for years.
00:54:08Oh, Madame Helena always advises against it.
00:54:10She says women should grow old gracefully.
00:54:12What comes?
00:54:14I'm going to leave that to your judgment.
00:54:17Well, here's kind of a nice number.
00:54:18Reddish-brown.
00:54:19It looks well on you.
00:54:20All right, Betsy.
00:54:21That would be nice.
00:54:24Oh, my wall out of town.
00:54:25Well, excuse me just a moment, Mrs. Horton.
00:54:27Sir.
00:54:31What are you laughing about?
00:54:39Can you imagine that old fool Mrs. Horton thinking she can keep her husband?
00:54:43And, of course, she couldn't get married again.
00:54:44Nobody would even look at her.
00:54:46Helene probably told her a pack of lies about what happened, and most likely Mrs. Horton believes it.
00:54:51Must be awful to have your home broken up at her age.
00:54:53Oh, she's all washed up as far as her husband's concerned.
00:54:56She's dropped away behind the time.
00:54:58Oh, she's all washed up as far as her husband's concerned.
00:55:01She's dropped away behind the time.
00:55:02Oh, she's all washed up as far as her husband's concerned.
00:55:04Oh, my God.
00:55:05Can you imagine that old fool Mrs. Horton thinking she can keep her husband?
00:55:09She must be awful to have your home broken up at the curries.
00:55:11And, of course, she couldn't get married again.
00:55:14Nobody would even look at her.
00:55:15Helene probably told her a pack of lies about what happened, and most likely Horton believed
00:55:20her.
00:55:21She's washed up as far as her husband's concerned.
00:55:24She's dropped away behind the time.
00:55:26You've let yourself go to sea.
00:55:28Can you imagine that old fool Mrs. Horton thinking she can keep her husband?
00:55:32Helene probably told her a pack of lies about her husband.
00:55:35Nobody would even look at her.
00:55:37Horton believed her.
00:55:37Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
00:56:07I don't see any good shade on it.
00:56:11Oh, Bessie, I want you to do my hair right now.
00:56:12I can. I'm doing Mrs. Horton.
00:56:14Oh, let her wait. I have an important engagement.
00:56:15I'm sorry. I just can't.
00:56:17Oh, I should wait for these old things.
00:56:19Oh, what's the last question for Mrs. Horton's address?
00:56:24What's wrong?
00:56:25Mrs. Horton's taken twice.
00:56:27Oh, oh, the poor dear.
00:56:29Well, that's awful.
00:56:31Well, what made her do it?
00:56:32Well, after what Helene did to her last night, how can you ask?
00:56:35Well, somebody ought to do something.
00:56:37Mrs. Horton has just taken poison.
00:56:45All on account of today.
00:56:47I'm going to call the police.
00:56:48You get away from that phone you have, but I'll knock you cold.
00:56:51Here, give me that.
00:56:54I've got a call on paper.
00:56:55You do, and I'll call the morgue, and you'll be ready, darling.
00:56:58What do we do, Madam Elaine, if the police should stop being hysterical?
00:57:02Yes, ma'am.
00:57:03Herbert, I'm at the shop.
00:57:04Come over as soon as you can. Mrs. Horton's taken poison.
00:57:07Five minutes.
00:57:09Thank you, Herbert.
00:57:10Oh, dear.
00:57:11She wanted her hair dyed now.
00:57:13She's dying.
00:57:25I think you'd better try and locate her husband.
00:57:27How is she?
00:57:34Hello, Pat.
00:57:39This is Helene.
00:57:53Oh, hello.
00:57:54How are you feeling?
00:57:56I read what happened.
00:57:57You had a narrow escape, didn't you?
00:57:59Oh, I'm all right, Pat.
00:58:00Listen, I want you to get in touch with Mr. Horton right away.
00:58:03Mrs. Horton's taken poison.
00:58:04And I want you to get him down here before she...
00:58:06Oh, gee, that's tough.
00:58:08Yeah, I think I know where I can get a hold of him.
00:58:10I'll head him down there in no time.
00:58:17Poor soul.
00:58:18I understand how she felt with that pack of hyenas yapping at her.
00:58:21Yeah, and just say the word and I'll flip the Milo's tongue while we got her handy.
00:58:26What can she...
00:58:27Oh, thanks, Ted.
00:58:28Mr. Horton's here.
00:58:37Oh, please, Edmund, come in.
00:58:47Mr. Horton.
00:58:48Mr. Horton.
00:58:48Say that again.
00:59:14Mr. Horton.
00:59:15Well, Milo knows she can't get away with it, but she's going to try it just to keep her away from you.
00:59:18Oh, I get it.
00:59:19She wasn't satisfied with framing me.
00:59:21Now she's going after Helene.
00:59:22Well, what are you going to do about it?
00:59:24I know what I'd do.
00:59:26Luis.
00:59:31George.
00:59:40Bessie, you can tell those so-called ladies that Mrs. Horton's going to be all right.
00:59:43Oh, isn't it wonderful?
00:59:45That hair dye turned into a rainbow.
00:59:47Mrs. Horton's all hunky-story again.
00:59:49Well, that's bad.
00:59:50But I thought...
00:59:51Never mind what you thought.
00:59:52Come on, girls.
00:59:53Just call for a drink to celebrate Mrs. Horton's recovery.
00:59:56Have you heard the good news?
01:00:00Mrs. Horton's going to be all right.
01:00:02Oh, Pat, darling, I didn't know you were here.
01:00:04You're just in time to take me home.
01:00:05Don't darling me after what you tried to pull.
01:00:08Now quit dealing from the bottom of the deck and tell these people Helene had nothing to do with Mrs. Horton's taking poison.
01:00:13Well, Pat, dear, I...
01:00:15It was only because I love you and I couldn't stand to see Helene come between us.
01:00:19There's nothing between you and me and you know it.
01:00:20So what?
01:00:21So you better get out before I lose my temper.
01:00:24Okay.
01:00:24Okay.
01:00:29I'll leave you to your bathhouse, flunky.
01:00:31Helene, dear, we're so glad that it turned out all right for you.
01:01:01We know how worried you were.
01:01:02Yes, we were all pulling for you and poor Mrs. Horton.
01:01:05She's such a sweet soul.
01:01:07My dear, you were very lucky to get out of this after trying to drive poor Mrs. Horton to do away with herself.
01:01:12That's what I say, too.
01:01:13You malicious hypocrite.
01:01:15So that's what she thinks.
01:01:17All right, you ask for it, and here it is.
01:01:19That poor woman was completely satisfied when I told her the truth about last night.
01:01:23I told her her husband still cared for her.
01:01:25He told me so himself.
01:01:27And it made her happier than she'd been in months.
01:01:28And then when she was sitting alone in that room, she overheard every word of your cruel, malicious gossip.
01:01:34And it broke her heart.
01:01:35You're the ones that are lucky that she didn't die.
01:01:37Because you'd have been just as responsible for her death as if you'd stabbed her in the back of the knife.
01:01:41And I wanted to be a part of the upper crust of society, which some of you ladies represent.
01:01:47Well, my eyes are open.
01:01:48I wouldn't have any part of you now.
01:01:49I know you for what you are.
01:01:51Evil-minded, gossip-hungry, scandal-thirsty, destroying each other with your spite and backbiting.
01:01:57And I wanted to help you build up the bodies you're allowed to become fat and ugly.
01:02:01Well, I'm through.
01:02:02Washed up.
01:02:03Beginning today, this place is under new management.
01:02:06And my partner can take over.
01:02:07She can run it if there's someone strong enough to stand any more of you.
01:02:10It's all yours, Maisie, if you want it.
01:02:12From now on, you can run this scandal house.
01:02:14Why, I was never more insulted in all my life.
01:02:16Did you ever hear of such influence?
01:02:17Oh, don't let's kid ourselves, girls.
01:02:19We'll all be back tomorrow.
01:02:20What a story, and I remember every word she said.
01:02:25Mrs. Smith, you said if this place ever closed, you'd marry me.
01:02:28Well, it's closed for the day while we go to the marriage license bureau.
01:02:31Huh?
01:02:36Herbert, it's no use.
01:02:37I told you you'd never know when I was going to blow up.
01:02:40And if we were married, I'd be sure to pop off unexpectedly and disgrace you.
01:02:44What's all this living up to?
01:02:46Is it Fenton?
01:02:47Yes, Herbert.
01:02:48Let's call it all off.
01:02:50No idea.
01:02:51That's the way you want it.
01:02:53But I want you to know that I think that...
01:02:57I think you're terrific.
01:03:00And I think you're the grandest person I've ever known.
01:03:03And thanks again for pulling your support and truth.
01:03:06Where's Helene?
01:03:20I wouldn't go in there if I were you.
01:03:25Why not?
01:03:25I've got to get a statement from her for my story.
01:03:28Another fellow's already getting a statement.
01:03:29Well, I can just make Santa Anita and drive it at the last race tomorrow.
01:03:33So long, fellow.
01:03:34And good luck to you and Nancy.
01:03:35Where's Pat?
01:03:45Just left.
01:03:46Gone with the wind, my gal.
01:03:47The good old California, eh?
01:03:49California.
01:03:51Helene, look.
01:03:52Pat!
01:03:57Pat!
01:03:59Pat!
01:04:00Take me with you.
01:04:01No.
01:04:02You can't leave me like this.
01:04:03You love me.
01:04:04I can prove it.
01:04:04Not after what I just saw.
01:04:06Officer?
01:04:07Officer, this woman is following me.
01:04:09Oh, so it's you again, eh?
01:04:11Officer, you're a married man.
01:04:12What would you do if your husband was running away just because you were out of a job?
01:04:15Out of a job, eh?
01:04:16You know, I think to talk you're out of a goofy house by mistake.
01:04:19Now, go on.
01:04:20Move on.
01:04:21Don't you see you're blocking traffic here?
01:04:22Oh, he always blocks traffic.
01:04:24He's so handsome.
01:04:26You know, you look to me like the kind of a wife who don't give her man no affection.
01:04:30Now, why don't you try giving him a good rose and kiss?
01:04:34Whoops!
01:04:36Officer, I think you've got something there.
01:04:43You see that, though?
01:04:44A natural-born diplomat, that's me.
01:04:46Preventing divorce is all under pay of a cop.
01:04:51I guess that'll hold you for a while.
01:04:53Darling, that'll hold me for the rest of your life.
01:04:55I guess that'll hold you for the rest of your life.
01:04:57I guess that'll hold you for the rest of your life.
01:04:58I guess that'll hold you for the rest of your life.
01:04:59I guess that'll hold you for the rest of your life.
01:05:00I guess that'll hold you for the rest of your life.
01:05:01I guess that'll hold you for the rest of your life.
01:05:02I guess that'll hold you for the rest of your life.
01:05:03I guess that'll hold you for the rest of your life.
01:05:04I guess that'll hold you for the rest of your life.
01:05:05I guess that'll hold you for the rest of your life.
01:05:06The End
01:05:36The End
