00:00:00The End
00:00:30Love is news when two youthful hearts awaken
00:00:35Love is news when they kiss and can't refuse
00:00:39It's the story old told by sweethearts
00:00:44Who fall in love when love is new
00:00:48Who fall in love when love is new
00:00:59Good morning, Dave Express
00:01:11Mr. Logan, here you are
00:01:14Good morning, Mr. Lake
00:01:16Good morning, Dave
00:01:17It's a big idea
00:01:18So wait
00:01:18Hey, guys, get a load of this
00:01:20Red apples for the team
00:01:21Quiet, please, quiet
00:01:28My friend
00:01:29We are gathered here today to mourn the loss of our dearly beloved Daily Express
00:01:32Shocked to an untimely death by the appointment as its city editor
00:01:35Of that heartless, soulless, journalistic Simon LeGreeve, Martin J. Canavan
00:01:39I'll take a hiss on that
00:01:40Make it smart, you see, he'll be here in a minute
00:01:42And so I give you our new city editor, Martin J. Canavan
00:01:45That sinister spawn of Satan
00:01:47That perfumed pig
00:01:48That rose-watered rat
00:01:50Stop me if you've heard this before
00:01:51Martin J.
00:01:52Good morning, Mr. Canavan
00:01:55One minute, everybody
00:01:56Hold it, please
00:01:57Good morning, Mr. Canavan
00:02:03My very dear friends
00:02:04I am deeply touched by this tribute of affection and esteem
00:02:07Such popularity must be deserved
00:02:08I've been summoned to instill new life
00:02:10Into this anemic, debilitated rag of a newspaper
00:02:12I'm looking forward joyously
00:02:14To the full cooperation of every member of this staff
00:02:16I mean to have it or else
00:02:17The express is not to be scooped again
00:02:18We're to print all the news and print it first
00:02:20Whoever's not in his toes will be out in his ear
00:02:22That's all, thanks
00:02:23Boy
00:02:23Yes, sir
00:02:25Deliver these flowers to Miss Daisy Delroy's
00:02:26Central Park Hotel, room 424
00:02:28Room 426
00:02:29She moved last night
00:02:30Room 426, the customer's always right
00:02:32You looking for something?
00:02:42Yeah, your resignation
00:02:43There isn't any
00:02:45Meaning you're gonna stick?
00:02:46No, no, no, meaning that I want you to fire me again
00:02:48I love to hear that cute little speech you always make
00:02:51Steve
00:02:51What do you say we bury the hatchet?
00:02:53I got a tough job in my hands and I need your help
00:02:55After all, I gave you your first job
00:02:57I watched you develop into the best newspaper reporter in New York
00:03:00And believe me, Stevie, I'm proud of you
00:03:02We've had our little differences, but what about it?
00:03:05We've had a lot of great times together, too, haven't we?
00:03:08Remember the night I dressed you up as a chambermaid
00:03:10And you stole the papers out of Colonel Randolph's apartment?
00:03:14And the old potbelly walked in on me
00:03:16And tried to date me up
00:03:19And remember the night you sent me out of trail, old Pinkham
00:03:26And I found him in a taxi with a blonde
00:03:31And she turned out to be your wife
00:03:36Yeah, yeah, yeah, my third wife
00:03:39What was her name?
00:03:41Mrs. Tannerman
00:03:42How about the night we got foiled and rode horseback down Broadway?
00:03:54And you tried to ride into the Astor Hotel
00:03:57And the horse got stuck in the revolving door
00:04:01And remember the night
00:04:04All right, stop, stop, stop
00:04:06Stevie
00:04:09Stevie, what do you say?
00:04:12To what?
00:04:12To stick it with me
00:04:13I'll tell you what I'll do
00:04:14Just a minute
00:04:14Yeah?
00:04:15Hello
00:04:15Hello, Tannerman speaking
00:04:17Listen, throw up a year's contract for Steve Layton
00:04:19With a $25 increase
00:04:20$25?
00:04:21Yeah, yeah, that's right
00:04:22Make it snap
00:04:22He's waiting to sign it
00:04:23Well, Stevie, is there anything else I can do for you?
00:04:27Remember the last time you tore up my contract
00:04:30And gave me a new one?
00:04:31Yeah, yeah
00:04:32Remember what I told you to do with it?
00:04:34Well, if you're not too tired, do it again
00:04:39Run through with a two-column head
00:04:48Okay
00:04:49Mrs. Caravan calling
00:04:52But I've already told her you were in
00:04:55All right, put her on
00:04:56Is that you, baby?
00:04:58Yes, ma'am
00:04:58I've got something awfully funny
00:05:00Yes

00:05:15Tony Gateson just left Cleveland
00:05:18Yeah, and a chartered plane for Newark
00:05:20No, the con ain't with her

00:05:22I'll get you $25 for this

00:05:36I'm sorry, my boy
00:05:37I'd like to put you on

00:05:44Go down to Mike Allegretti
00:05:45It's around the corner
00:05:46You'll find a reporter there named Steve Layton
00:05:47Tell him Mr. Canavan sent you for his police card
00:05:50And that you're going to interview Antoinette Gateson
00:05:51Who arrives at Newark Airport at 3 o'clock
00:05:53Yes
00:05:53Tony Gateson, why
00:05:54Leave it to me, Chief
00:05:55This is very confidential

00:06:00I shall arrive behind my shield
00:06:02We're on it
00:06:03What's the idea of sending a cub
00:06:07On a tough assignment like that?
00:06:08You must be mad
00:06:09No, just psychic
00:06:10What do you think it's like
00:06:10If it happened when the kid asks Steve for his police card?
00:06:12It punch him right on the nose
00:06:13Right, Mr. Finley
00:06:14And what do you think Steve will do
00:06:15When he learns there's a Tony Gateson scoop in the office?
00:06:17You break his neck
00:06:17Trying to get to Newark Airport himself
00:06:19The old fire horse
00:06:20Right again, Mr. Finley
00:06:21Yes, Mabel
00:06:22Too bad about the kid's nose

00:07:40The beard's getting flat
00:07:41Pardon me, sir
00:07:42But who is Mr. Stephen Layton?
00:07:44Take it easy
00:07:45You've got to give a guy a little time
00:07:47To figure these things out
00:07:48Time
00:07:48You've had enough time to grow a full beard
00:07:50Go ahead

00:07:54This
00:07:56Say

00:08:01Thank you, palsy
00:08:04Put up the floor and sit down
00:08:11Here you are, son
00:08:12You deserve it
00:08:12Say, Oyster Eyes
00:08:13Why don't you live your own life?
00:08:16Kibitzing in a check again
00:08:17Never should take one of those out of chasing
00:08:19How do you like that guy hornin' in?
00:08:22Well, I was on the, uh, Varsity checker team at college
00:08:26What college?
00:08:27Vassar?
00:08:28Woo-hoo!
00:08:29Switch!
00:08:29Woo-hoo!
00:08:38Oh, walked right into it that time, John
00:08:40Oh, yeah
00:08:41Good champ
00:08:42That's the end
00:08:43Well, I surrender, dear
00:08:47Well, we can set him up again
00:08:49Mike, seven more beers
00:08:50Must excuse me, gentlemen
00:08:53I must be going
00:08:54Stick around a while
00:08:55Why don't you hurry?
00:08:55Oh, no
00:08:56I've got to get to Newark Airport
00:08:57Somebody launching a debut time?
00:09:00No, somebody's coming in
00:09:02Tony Davidson
00:09:03Three o'clock
00:09:05Say, Boyd, listen
00:09:15I've got a very sick grandmother
00:09:17Can I trouble you for that phone, pal?
00:09:22Oh, uh, sister, can I, uh, can I buy you a little drink?
00:09:26Did I, did I say something wrong?
00:09:29Boy, you said a front page, fool
00:09:31Come on
00:09:33Give me a tent spot, will you, Mike?
00:09:35I've got to take a cab to Newark
00:09:36Oh, no, you don't
00:09:37I'm going to Newark Airport
00:09:39Mr. Canavan said so
00:09:40He told me to get your police guard
00:09:42And tell you
00:09:43I was going to interview Tony Gates
00:09:45Canavan said that?
00:09:48Absolutely
00:09:48Cross my word of eye
00:09:50Keep it, Mike
00:09:51I won't need it
00:09:52Oh, Canavan said you hit a spy on me, huh?
00:09:55Yes
00:09:55Well, scram
00:09:56Then you can tell Mr. Canavan his trick didn't work
00:09:59Every paper in town has a story
00:10:01Except the Express
00:10:02Oh, Stevie, read about it in the Chronicle
00:10:06Oh, he's been through the air
00:10:25With the greatest of ease
00:10:27I've got a good mind to break your
00:10:30I'll admit I pulled some fast ones
00:10:33But I never stooped as low as that
00:10:34The kid's finished and so are you
00:10:36I'll fix it so you'll never get another job in this town
00:10:40Try to scare me, would you?
00:10:41Give me a whiskey, Mike
00:10:42Hello, Canavan speaking
00:10:58Give me Finley
00:10:59Finley speaking
00:11:02Hello, Mr. Finley
00:11:04We've been double-crossed on the Gates and Scoop
00:11:05The dirtiest, slimiest deal I've ever been handed
00:11:08Yes, Mr. Finley
00:11:10By Steve Layton
00:11:11Absolutely, Mr. Finley
00:11:14It's up to us to see that every editor in town hears about it
00:11:16A rat like that should never be allowed inside a newspaper office again
00:11:18What did he do?
00:11:20He got the new kid drunk
00:11:21So drunk he couldn't cover the story
00:11:23And then kitted him into flab and tipped every rag in town
00:11:25Give me that
00:11:26Hello, Mr. Finley
00:11:28It's a lie
00:11:28You get your story and it'll be exclusive
00:11:30And as for you
00:11:32I'll need this for camp there
00:11:37Oh, no, you don't
00:11:40Let him go, you chump
00:11:42He's a pal of mine
00:11:44Hello, Chief
00:11:52He fell for it like a ton of bricks, didn't he?
00:11:54Yeah, yeah, he fell
00:11:56Like a ton of bricks
00:11:57There's just another air pocket
00:12:10Fortunately, there wasn't a hole in it
00:12:11Tony, where are we?
00:12:15About 15 minutes from New York
00:12:16And, thank heaven
00:12:183,000 miles from His Highness André-Pierre-Gastard-Louis-Pion
00:12:23Blue-blooded moron
00:12:33Nevertheless, André's a very charming gentleman
00:12:36And if he were my fiancé
00:12:38Ex-fiancé
00:12:39All right, ex-fiancé
00:12:41If he were my ex-fiancé
00:12:43Oh, Lois, darling
00:12:44You are sweet
00:12:45But you are a little naive
00:12:46Where do you come in, Dan Phoebe's, my lips?
00:12:49Wait till every man you meet
00:12:50Looks into your eyes
00:12:50And sees only a bank account
00:12:52And wait till a lot of nosy reporters
00:12:54Start making a sideshow
00:12:55Out of your private life
00:12:55Oh, what do you care
00:12:57About those stupid papers, printing?
00:12:59Oh, I suppose
00:12:59I should laugh stuff like this off
00:13:01Look at that
00:13:02Tony Gates and buys herself a count
00:13:04Tin can counter
00:13:05Says American men are boys
00:13:06Exclusive interview by Steve Layton
00:13:08You never said that, did you?
00:13:09Never said it
00:13:10Why, I've never even seen the lying snoop
00:13:12He got that interview from a maid
00:13:13I fired
00:13:13I don't understand why
00:13:16They call him the gentleman of the press
00:13:17You let us in
00:13:19I'll get you
00:13:19Sorry, boy
00:13:22Oh, now listen, St. Peter
00:13:24Will you open up these gold gates?
00:13:25It's vital to me
00:13:26Sorry, but orders is orders
00:13:28Oh
00:13:28Special detail from the skates
00:13:42Hello, Stevie, pal
00:13:45What are these?
00:13:46Autograph hounds?
00:13:47Reporter, sir
00:13:48Scum
00:13:48Have a nice trip?
00:13:54Yes, sir
00:13:54No trouble at all
00:13:55You boys wait right here
00:13:56Yes, sir
00:13:57Oh, Miss Gates
00:13:59Yes
00:14:00I hate to tell you
00:14:00But there's a mob of reporters
00:14:01Waiting outside
00:14:02Now, you see, Lois
00:14:03That's exactly what I
00:14:03However, I have a police escort
00:14:04To see you to your car
00:14:05Oh, that's awfully nice, sir
00:14:07Thank you so much
00:14:08If I may suggest, Miss Gates
00:14:09If we send your friend out
00:14:10With the police
00:14:11The reporters will think it's you
00:14:12And you can get away by yourself
00:14:13Oh, that's a great idea
00:14:14Will you do it?
00:14:15Sure
00:14:15All right, put your collar up, honey
00:14:16Go ahead and I'll see you down
00:14:17Good luck
00:14:19Okay, boys
00:14:21See Miss Gates into her car
00:14:22And, uh, if those newshounds get rough
00:14:25We'll pay for all broken noses
00:14:27Okay
00:14:27Leave it to us
00:14:28Nice trick if it works
00:14:30Oh, you leave it to my men, Miss Gates
00:14:32And we've put it over on those smart-aleck reporters before
00:14:34Pests, all of them
00:14:36They always bother our passengers
00:14:37Especially when they're celebrities like yourself
00:14:39Now, don't tell me you want my autograph
00:14:41No, no, but I would like a cigarette
00:14:43Oh, certainly
00:14:44There you are
00:14:45Thank you
00:14:46Well, I don't think I will smoke this
00:14:49I think I'll save it for my grandchildren
00:14:51As a souvenir of the beautiful Contest de Guillaume
00:14:53Well, that's what you're saving her for
00:14:55Here, have a light
00:14:56Look, here she comes
00:14:58Oh, Miss Gates
00:14:59Come on, Miss Gates
00:15:01Come on
00:15:01Just a little
00:15:02I reckon
00:15:03Come on
00:15:03Now, I'm telling you, lame brain
00:15:07They're kidnapped that dame
00:15:08And she don't know it
00:15:09Well, are you two dumb clucks
00:15:10Gonna stand there
00:15:11And let them snatch the richest dame in the world
00:15:12Right out from under your nose?
00:15:14Well, come on, bear down
00:15:14Do something, do something
00:15:15Get to go of
00:15:17Hey, there
00:15:18What's going on?
00:15:19Who's that for you guys?
00:15:21Mr. Layton from the airport
00:15:22There's no Mr. Layton connected with this airport
00:15:24Steve Layton?
00:15:25Well, that lugs only a reporter on the express
00:15:27Steve Layton
00:15:28Say, this ain't Tony Gateson
00:15:30Oh, let me through
00:15:30Hey, lady
00:15:31Hey, lady
00:15:32All I want is just a few days
00:15:34So I can get just as much distance
00:15:35Between me and the count as possible
00:15:37Then they can write anything they like
00:15:39Well, you know what they'll say
00:15:40They'll say you're going to hunt another count
00:15:41Well, that'll be just as true
00:15:42As everything else they've printed about me
00:15:44Oh, no
00:15:45The next man who puts a ring on this finger
00:15:47Will have to have a good old American title
00:15:48Like plumber, bricklayer, motorman
00:15:50Anything but reporter
00:15:52Oh, Tony
00:15:54Well, Lewis, what's the matter?
00:15:55Do you know who this man is?
00:15:57Why, he's...
00:15:57He's that Steve Layton, a reporter
00:15:59And judging by the smirk on his face
00:16:01He's tricked you into telling him plenty
00:16:02Young lady, I must commend you
00:16:04On your excellent judgment of smirks
00:16:06Oh
00:16:06It's getting a bit chilly in here
00:16:10Goodbye, Miss Gateson
00:16:11Thank you very much for the cigarette
00:16:12And a pleasant chat
00:16:13Which you will now distort into a pack of lies
00:16:15Gotta give our readers what they want
00:16:16I wonder how you'd like being mobbed by a bunch of peeping Toms
00:16:19How would you like being a public freak?
00:16:22Me?
00:16:23Listen, lady
00:16:23If I had your money
00:16:24They could put a press box at the keyhole of my bedroom door
00:16:27So it's no go
00:16:28You won't kill the story
00:16:29No, sorry
00:16:30Uh, Mr. Layton
00:16:31Uh, you're very ingenious about getting in and out of places
00:16:35Maybe you can suggest how I can get out of here
00:16:37Without being annoyed by all those other reporters
00:16:38Oh, sure
00:16:39Now, wait a minute now
00:16:40I've got it
00:16:42Taxi the plane to the edge of the field
00:16:44Jump over the fence by the greenhouse
00:16:45Have your car come around and pick you up there
00:16:47Well, now, that's wonderful
00:16:48Why didn't I think of that?
00:16:49You wouldn't find a chance like me to give you a lift back into town, would you?
00:16:52Well, thanks
00:16:53You know, you're being a pretty good sport about this thing
00:16:55Oh, that's all right
00:16:56You go ahead in my car and I'll meet you at the greenhouse
00:16:58All right
00:16:59You know, officer, the D.A. is a great pal of my night
00:17:03You know, the top you ever had
00:17:05Stevie
00:17:06Well, how do you like that?
00:17:16Say, Stevie
00:17:17Listen, let us in on the story, will you?
00:17:18So long, boys
00:17:19Read the express
00:17:20Always first with all the news
00:17:22Why, you big one
00:17:23Did you guys see what I saw?
00:17:28I certainly did
00:17:29Hey, boys, there she is
00:17:30Hey, boys, wait a minute
00:17:32What about a statement for the press?
00:17:37Just a minute, boys
00:17:38Did you want to see me?
00:17:39What about a statement for the press?
00:17:41Certainly
00:17:41Are you ready?
00:17:43Yeah, shoot, shoot
00:17:44Miss Antoinette Gateson
00:17:45Tony Q, boys
00:17:46Takes pleasure in announcing her engagement to Mr. Stephen Layton of the New York City
00:17:51What?
00:17:52And as a little engagement gift
00:17:54I'm going to settle one million dollars on Stevie
00:17:56A million dollars on Stevie
00:17:57A million dollars on Stevie
00:17:59A million dollars on Stevie
00:18:00Oh, holy moly
00:18:01A million dollars on Stevie
00:18:03Yoo-hoo
00:18:06Well, it worked
00:18:11Oh, that was a wonderful idea of yours
00:18:13Oh, you don't know what a kick I'm getting out of this, Miss Gateson
00:18:16Really, Mr. Layton?
00:18:17We'd better hurry, though
00:18:18To Uncle Cyrus' house, Carly
00:18:20Am I happy, Lillian?
00:18:28Of course I am, and you should be, too.
00:18:30Why, no other rag in town has a story except me.
00:18:33You know, you've been swell about this.
00:18:35And I'm just going to soften it for you as much as I can.
00:18:38Of course, you know, we've got to have a story.
00:18:40Oh, you're wonderful.
00:18:41Get up. Get up.
00:18:43Get up.
00:18:45You are now standing on the brink of Grand Canyon, and down there...
00:18:49Hi, Aunt.
00:18:49Yoo-hoo, Uncle Cyrus.
00:18:53What's the layout you got here?
00:18:54Simple little place, but it's home to us.
00:18:56Hello, darling.
00:18:58Oh, hello.
00:18:59You sweet little thing.
00:19:00Don't do that.
00:19:03What's that, your account?
00:19:05Mr. Layton. My uncle, Mr. Jeffrey.
00:19:07How do you do, Mr. Jeffrey?
00:19:08Who is he?
00:19:08Mr. Layton's a reporter.
00:19:10You and the cat dragging the darndest things.
00:19:13It's fine animal you got here, Mr. Jeffrey.
00:19:14Play polo?
00:19:15No, do you?
00:19:16No, checkers is my game.
00:19:18Well, that reminds me.
00:19:18I've got to call my city editor.
00:19:20Well, here's the phone, Mr. Layton.
00:19:21Come on, Aunt.
00:19:21It's big business.
00:19:22She wouldn't understand that.
00:19:22Eh?
00:19:23What?
00:19:23What?
00:19:24Well?
00:19:26Not at Mike's.
00:19:27You're depressed in ten minutes.
00:19:28Plenty of time.
00:19:29Plenty of time.
00:19:31Hello.
00:19:32Who?
00:19:33Put him on.
00:19:35Hello.
00:19:36Where are you?
00:19:37Where?
00:19:38She's right in her own home.
00:19:40Yeah?
00:19:41Yeah?
00:19:42Excuse him, Stevie boy.
00:19:43I could kiss you.
00:19:45Skip the romance.
00:19:46Give me a rewrite, man.
00:19:47You sure you know what you're doing?
00:19:48Relax, Lance.
00:19:49Relax.
00:19:50Hello, Frederick.
00:19:51Take this down exactly as I give it to you.
00:19:53Quote.
00:19:53In an exclusive interview with the Express today, Miss Tony Gates and the Tin Can Carbass
00:19:57announced that she and the Count de Guillaume have PFFT.
00:20:03The scandal monger.
00:20:05Shh.
00:20:06Don't disturb him, darling.
00:20:07He's dictated in his own obituary.
00:20:10In a luxurious Fifth Avenue mansion, the disillusioned heiress, fleeing from her amorous fiancée,
00:20:15was welcomed by her uncle, Cyrus Jeffrey, the well-known financier and, uh, horseman.
00:20:20End quote.
00:20:21Got that?
00:20:22Thanks, Steve.
00:20:23That's all good.
00:20:25What a story.
00:20:35Hey, Archie, not a bad start for the first day, huh?
00:20:38Best coupe we've had in months.
00:20:39That reminds me.
00:20:41Give Steve Layton a $50 bonus.
00:20:42$50.
00:20:43That's right.
00:20:45Always knew he'd be a top man someday.
00:20:47Chronicle, carry, earned his back.
00:20:49Yeah, we'd look at a load of our front page.
00:20:51Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:20:54What's the matter?
00:20:55Hang on.
00:21:03Boy.
00:21:04Boy, don't worry.
00:21:06Get off.
00:21:09Stop the pressers.
00:21:10Stop them.
00:21:10Kill the Gatesons story.
00:21:11Stop the pressers.
00:21:11Kill the Gatesons story.
00:21:12Get the Gatesons story.
00:21:14Hold her.
00:21:15Hold her.
00:21:15Hold her.
00:21:15Come on, shake it up.
00:21:23Get me that double-crossing dog on the phone.
00:21:25Get him.
00:21:25You know, I get the same kick out of a scoop like this
00:21:28as you did out of stealing the PRNW railroad.
00:21:30I got that fair and square.
00:21:31Yeah?
00:21:32You bought that railroad through a dummy corporation
00:21:34and sold it back to your own Mid-Southern
00:21:36at a $10 million profit.
00:21:38Perfectly legal.
00:21:39I outguessed the other crowd.
00:21:40Sure.
00:21:41And I outguessed your niece.
00:21:45Oh, excuse me.
00:21:46You know, in this newspaper racket,
00:21:47you've got to know your way around
00:21:48or you're just out of luck, that's all.
00:21:50Just a minute.
00:21:51It's for Mr. Mason.
00:21:53Give me that phone.
00:21:54That's what I've been waiting for.
00:21:56Hello?
00:21:57Hold the wire a second, please.
00:21:59Yes, the...
00:21:59Hello.
00:22:01Oh, Mr. Canavan.
00:22:04Miss Gapeson speaking.
00:22:05Oh, Steve-A-Kins has told me so much about you.
00:22:09Oh, yes, of course, it's true.
00:22:12Hasn't Stevie told you?
00:22:14Oh, that's strange.
00:22:15She's told everybody else in town.
00:22:17May I speak to Stevie-A-Kins, please?
00:22:19You'll see.
00:22:22Hello?
00:22:23Yes, Mabel.
00:22:26Just a moment.
00:22:27Oh, Stevie-A-Kins.
00:22:29Mr. Canavan on the phone.
00:22:32Oh, darling, I couldn't tell him to do that.
00:22:36I'm sorry, Mr. Canavan,
00:22:37but Stevie-A-Kins doesn't seem to want to talk to right now.
00:22:39Goodbye.
00:22:41Hello?
00:22:41Hello?
00:22:43Hello?
00:22:43No!
00:22:46Take Steve waiting off the payroll.
00:22:48How about the bonus?
00:22:49What bonus?
00:22:50No, cancel it.
00:22:51And after all, I've done for that kind.
00:22:53Yes, Mabel.
00:22:55Every time I take over a railroad,
00:22:56I make money for the stockholders.
00:22:58I'll zoom papers.
00:22:59Here, let me look at that financial page.
00:23:01Let me show you what I did to the PR and W.
00:23:05Give me that.
00:23:05Well, what is it?
00:23:08What's the matter?
00:23:09A murder?
00:23:09Not yet, but there may be.
00:23:10What's new?
00:23:15You're not going to marry my niece.
00:23:17Not what I'm saying.
00:23:20Tommy, this isn't true, is it?
00:23:21Well, it's just as true as a lot of other things
00:23:23that gentleman in the press has been writing about me.
00:23:32Hello.
00:23:35Good morning.
00:23:36Hello, this is Steve Layton.
00:23:37Let me speak to Canavan, quick.
00:23:39Congratulations to your grandmother.
00:23:42Engage to you.
00:23:43Any paper that says I'm going to marry you
00:23:44is guilty of criminal libel.
00:23:46Oh, Stevie.
00:23:49Hello.
00:23:50Who?
00:23:52Oh, Mr. Layton.
00:23:55Up the Fifth Avenue, Layton's.
00:23:58You mean Mr. Antoinette Gateson, don't you?
00:24:02Oh, listen, Marty, it isn't true, I tell you.
00:24:04On my word of honor.
00:24:05Your word of honor?
00:24:06Well, you crook,
00:24:07I wouldn't believe your dying confession.
00:24:10And if I ever see that pretty pussy of yours
00:24:13in this office again,
00:24:14then I'll put my foot through it.
00:24:19Yes, Mabel.
00:24:21Hello.
00:24:24It's skeptical, your editor, isn't it?
00:24:26Get on that phone and tell him the truth.
00:24:27Oh, darling, don't be so masterful.
00:24:28After all, we're only engaged.
00:24:29Are you going to retract that story?
00:24:31Retract it?
00:24:31I'm going to build it up.
00:24:32I'm going to keep you on the front page.
00:24:34I'm going to show you what it feels like
00:24:35to be a public freak.
00:24:36Oh, no, I'll have something to say about that.
00:24:37Oh, I suppose you think they'll take your word
00:24:38against Tony Gateson.
00:24:39Well, my dear, you want to be pleased and flattered
00:24:41to be marrying a young multimillionaire?
00:24:43Well, I'm not.
00:24:43Nevertheless, we're still engaged.
00:24:45Not for long.
00:24:46For just as long as it makes news.
00:24:47And when the scandal mongers get tired of reading about that,
00:24:49I'll give them another story.
00:24:51Heiress is reporter.
00:24:52I put you in the headlines,
00:24:53and I'm going to keep you there.
00:24:55Reporter knocks off each day.
00:24:57Extra, extra.
00:24:58Read all about it.
00:25:00Extra, all about it.
00:25:00Hey, you hear that, darling?
00:25:02They're announcing our engagement.
00:25:03Yes.
00:25:04Well, watch me announce that the engagement's off.
00:25:05You can't tie a tin can heiress to my tail.
00:25:07All about it.
00:25:08Extra, extra.
00:25:10Paper, mister?
00:25:11Paper.
00:25:11Extra, all about the big engagement.
00:25:14Read all about it.
00:25:16Reporter knocks off each day.
00:25:18Extra, extra.
00:25:19You hear, mister?
00:25:21Extra, all about the big engagement.
00:25:23Extra.
00:25:24Oh, hello, Steve.
00:25:25Hello, Red.
00:25:25Steve, congratulations.
00:25:26Paper, please.
00:25:27That's Steve Lighten, lady.
00:25:28That's him.
00:25:29Oh, let me see.
00:25:30Would you mind giving me your office now?
00:25:32Please, madam, no.
00:25:32Please, if you don't mind.
00:25:35No, madam, not right now.
00:25:36Please.
00:25:36And now get a pencil if you don't have to be.
00:25:38No, ma'am.
00:25:39Oh, but he's right here.
00:25:40Oh, ma'am.
00:25:40Please.
00:25:41He's right here.
00:25:42Wait, get me out of there.
00:25:43Please.
00:25:43I've had this person here.
00:25:44Wait, Emily.
00:25:45Oh, no.
00:25:49Oh, Mr. Lighten.
00:26:04Congratulations.
00:26:05Ah, she's a lucky lad you are.
00:26:07Oh, and she's a lucky woman, too, for all the money she's got.
00:26:10I always said I'd blow you off the rent money with a kind of sad and lad like yourself.
00:26:14Well, I hope you won't mind waiting a little longer.
00:26:15Oh, not at all, Mr. Lighten.
00:26:16Not at all.
00:26:17And this million dollars you're getting.
00:26:19Sure, it must take you a long time to count it.
00:26:21I've been fixing up your room with my best presents and some real million tolls.
00:26:24Thanks, thanks.
00:26:24Oh, I'll grant you a dollar, the kind you're going to be hot.
00:26:34This old gentleman gives the hair the smooth, glossy charm that makes you irresistible to
00:26:48the ladies, as irresistible as Romeo was to Juliet, as Anthony was to Cleopatra, as Steve
00:26:54Layton, the humbled reporter, is to Tony Gateson, the hundred-million-dollar heiress, whose
00:26:58affairs at heart always make front-page news.
00:27:01And now, dedicating the next number to this romantic pair, the orchestra will play Thanks
00:27:06a Million.
00:27:15Who's there?
00:27:16It's me, Mr. Layton.
00:27:17Just sorry I am to be waiting you, but I've been trying to get this book all as I'll to
00:27:21feel it for the library.
00:27:22I can't.
00:27:24It's a fine thing to be pushing a woman around her own home as if it was a subway.
00:27:37Now, let me show you.
00:27:51Gentlemen, gentlemen.
00:27:52Gentlemen, give the man a chance.
00:27:55Two hundred thousand dollars.
00:27:56Look it.
00:27:57I'll miss it.
00:27:59I'll miss it.
00:28:14Would you be interested then?
00:28:15I'll miss it.
00:28:17Well, you can say we'll be married sometime next month.
00:28:30Yes.
00:28:31Oh, honeymoon.
00:28:33Oh, I don't know.
00:28:34Paris, probably.
00:28:36Riviera.
00:28:37Oh, yes.
00:28:39Yes, we'll be gone about six months.
00:28:41Certainly.
00:28:42Oh, I'm always delighted to talk with the press.
00:28:45Bye.
00:28:45You can get my robe, Marie.
00:28:50They might keep up this silly business.
00:28:52Certainly.
00:28:54They want news, and I'm giving it to them.
00:28:56The most sensible news you could give them would be that you're making up with the Count.
00:29:00Oh, don't be silly.
00:29:01You're old-fashioned, Alice.
00:29:03Marrying titles isn't being done anymore.
00:29:05Don't get that, will you, Marie?
00:29:06I'll do this.
00:29:08You know, darling, if you really want publicity, that is nice, delicate, ruffine publicity,
00:29:13the smart thing to do is to marry a prizefighter.
00:29:15Or an orchestra leader.
00:29:16Mr. Layton.
00:29:17Oh.
00:29:18Or a reporter.
00:29:19Don't be foolish.
00:29:21Hello, Stevie Kins.
00:29:23Now be reasonable, Miss Gateson.
00:29:25Don't you think you've carried this thing far enough?
00:29:27How about calling it off?
00:29:28Oh, so soon?
00:29:30We've only been engaged since yesterday.
00:29:32All right.
00:29:33I admit I got what I deserve.
00:29:35You've had your fun.
00:29:36Come on, now be a good fellow, will you?
00:29:37Well, I'll tell you what I'll do.
00:29:40How would you like to take me to lunch and we'll talk the whole thing over?
00:29:43Yeah.
00:29:44A nice, quiet corner at Club 42.
00:29:47How's that suit you?
00:29:48Club 42?
00:29:52All right.
00:29:53One o'clock?
00:29:54Okay, it's a date.
00:29:55Okay.
00:29:55Okay.
00:29:55It's a date.
00:29:57Mr. Layton.
00:30:16Sure, that's the way it is when you have money.
00:30:18Mrs. Flaherty, could you let me have two dollars?
00:30:20Oh, go away with you.
00:30:21Two dollars and you with a million of them.
00:30:23Well, one dollar then for cabs there.
00:30:24And what will you be wanting with the cab, with all them flying automobiles waiting for you?
00:30:30Sure, that's one of the prerequisites of a millionaire.
00:30:43You've got an automobile outside you want to demonstrate to me?
00:30:45At your service, Mr. Layton.
00:30:47I have to.
00:30:47You're just the man I want to see.
00:30:50Come on.
00:30:52Mr. Layton.
00:30:54Feel as though it were your very own...
00:31:13Feel as though it were your very own, Mr. Layton.
00:31:16Take good care of him, Penrod.
00:31:17Get away, boys.
00:31:18Yes.
00:31:18This old guy worked in the sawmill all his life.
00:31:32So he goes up to the bartender and he says,
00:31:34Give me four straight whiskeys.
00:31:37Get a load of this.
00:31:38Uh-oh.
00:31:42Well, look at that.
00:31:44Well, it ain't Mr. Zaster's horse.
00:31:46Or vice versa.
00:31:47Hey, Mike, has Canavan been around?
00:31:48Not yet, Stevie.
00:31:49What do you want Canavan for, best man?
00:31:52Wait a minute.
00:31:52It's a quick clown.
00:31:54If you want a real story, I'll give it to you.
00:31:55Oh.
00:31:57Big hearted Stevie, always giving away stories.
00:32:01I'm not engaged to that dame any more than you are.
00:32:03Oh, come on.
00:32:04What are you trying to hand us?
00:32:05Where'd you get that car?
00:32:06Out of a punch board?
00:32:09Oh, Steve?
00:32:10Here's hoping all your kids will be city editors.
00:32:12Oh, uh, Stevekins, if Tonikins has a sister, remember, I can be had.
00:32:26Mike, did you ever have a woman make a fool out of you?
00:32:29Sure.
00:32:30What happened?
00:32:31Four boys and one girl.
00:32:35Hey, that will be $2.55.
00:32:37Oh, why, sure, and charge it.
00:32:42And say, by the way, Mike, when was the last time you saw Canavan?
00:32:44Four o'clock this morning.
00:32:46He was very depressed.
00:32:48Depressed, eh?
00:32:49Spelled D-R-U-N-K.
00:32:52I know where he is.
00:32:56Yes, Mabel.
00:32:58Yes, Mabel.
00:33:01Yes.
00:33:03Yes.
00:33:04Hello, Marty.
00:33:08Go away.
00:33:09You've got to listen to me.
00:33:10We've got to get this thing straightened out.
00:33:11You think I'm trying time to raise my blood pressure?
00:33:15Yes, Mabel.
00:33:16You're getting dressed and coming with me.
00:33:17What?
00:33:18Why, I can't...
00:33:19Listen, I'm taking you to get the lowdown on this whole mess from the Gates and Dame herself.
00:33:22Now, you've got to go with me.
00:33:24You're coming with me, or...
00:33:25or I'll tell Mabel who you sent those flowers to me.
00:33:28And I'll tell her who...
00:33:29Hold on.
00:33:30Hold on.
00:33:31I'll go.
00:33:32Yes, Mabel.
00:33:34Yes, dear.
00:33:45A guy with a hangover, you're certainly stowing away plenty.
00:33:48A very excellent bit of Billy Mignon, my good man.
00:33:50Pity Miss Gates isn't here to enjoy it.
00:33:53Yes, but I'll accept your apology.
00:33:55Here she is now.
00:33:58Oh, I'm so sorry, Mabel.
00:33:59Miss Gates and Mr. Canavan.
00:34:01Oh, Mr. Canavan, how do you do?
00:34:03Charmed, I'm sure.
00:34:04Sorry to have started without you, but...
00:34:06Oh, that's all right.
00:34:07As a matter of fact, I can't stay anywhere.
00:34:08Miss Gates, and if you'll just tell Mr. Canavan...
00:34:10Oh, some other time, Steve.
00:34:11Because I've got to rush you away.
00:34:12You won't be angry, will you, darling?
00:34:15That's the old personality stuff, Steve.
00:34:17Steve, what about the sister?
00:34:20Oh, you enterprising newspaper men, always thinking of your art.
00:34:23Goodbye, darling.
00:34:24Photographers from every paper but my own.
00:34:26So this is your way of getting neat with me, you rat.
00:34:30Waiter!
00:34:31Waiter!
00:34:33Check.
00:34:45Follow that car.
00:34:46But ain't you gonna still decide on this one?
00:34:49Come on, come on, that car.
00:34:50Hurry up.
00:34:50Come on, come on, come on, come on.
00:35:20You don't start to run until it gets to a hundred.
00:35:26You know, talking about you've got these brakes on there.
00:35:32You ain't never seen no brakes like that.
00:35:34You ever see any brakes as you get there in the few, I think?
00:35:50Oh, my God.
00:36:20Let me see your driver's license.
00:36:24Well, I haven't got it with me.
00:36:25What'd you stop me for?
00:36:2685 miles an hour on the county highway.
00:36:2860 miles an hour through the village of Mediville.
00:36:30Failure to stop for a red light.
00:36:32Pass some poor cars on the wrong side.
00:36:34Go on the wrong way on a one-way street.
00:36:36Reckless driving and failure to stop for an officer of the law.
00:36:38That's all so far.
00:36:39All right, all right.
00:36:40But hurry up and give me my ticket, will you?
00:36:41This is one time you don't get a ticket, lady.
00:36:43You can't get away with that stuff in Mediville County.
00:36:45You're under arrest.
00:36:45Well, that's ridiculous.
00:36:46Do you know who I am?
00:36:47I don't care who you are.
00:36:48Come on.
00:36:48You can tell it to the judge.
00:36:50See how she runs, mister?
00:37:04She can go.
00:37:05Have you got any small change?
00:37:07Change, mister?
00:37:08Well, on the county, you ain't got nothing but them big bills.
00:37:12That's the show.
00:37:13There's lucky people.
00:37:14I wish one of my gangs had a hundred zillion bucks.
00:37:17I'd pitch a ball like that.
00:37:20You're going to regret this, officer.
00:37:22When I finish with you, you'll be riding a tricycle.
00:37:25Hello, Marty.
00:37:26Steve.
00:37:27Listen, they're taking the Gaitson gal to the can in Mediville.
00:37:30I tell you, they're taking her to jail right now.
00:37:32It's a scoop, you big lug.
00:37:33Yeah.
00:37:36Yeah.
00:37:37Of course, I believe you.
00:37:39Sure, it's a great story.
00:37:42And now, Steve, you can tell Danny the story of the three little bears and drop dead.
00:37:46You beat Flash.
00:37:47Tony Gaitson's been arrested.
00:37:49What?
00:37:49Give me the Mediville jail.
00:37:52I'll find you two hundred dollars.
00:37:56I'll learn you that there's no gambling in Mediville county.
00:37:59What about my machine?
00:38:00They stay put.
00:38:01Contraptions of the devil.
00:38:02Get it.
00:38:03You beat Flash.
00:38:04Tony Gaitson's been arrested.
00:38:05You beat Flash.
00:38:06Tony Gaitson's been arrested.
00:38:07What?
00:38:08Give me the Mediville jail.
00:38:09I'll find you two hundred dollars.
00:38:12I'll learn you that there's no gambling in Mediville county.
00:38:14What about my machine?
00:38:15They stay put.
00:38:16Contraptions of the devil.
00:38:17Get it.
00:38:44You beat Flash.
00:38:45Too bad, Judge.
00:38:46I was not.
00:38:48You've got to study the ways of crime in order to combat them.
00:39:04You haven't missed Gaitson under arrest for speeding.
00:39:07What about it?
00:39:09You combated it too hard that time, Judge.
00:39:15I've seen it.
00:39:17When it was too late.
00:39:18Well, you're working too hard, Judge.
00:39:19You've got to take it easy.
00:39:20Easy does it.
00:39:22Now, easy.
00:39:25Ah, that's got it.
00:39:26You're a cinch now, Judge.
00:39:36Yeah?
00:39:37This is Judge Hart talking.
00:39:39Who?
00:39:40Layton?
00:39:41No, no money for me, Judge.
00:39:44Hello?
00:39:45Hello.
00:39:45Hello, Steve.
00:39:48Oh, Mr. Canavan.
00:39:49I suppose you want to hear the story of the three little bears.
00:39:52Well, once upon a time...
00:39:54Now, just a minute, Steve.
00:39:55I want you to hear something first.
00:39:57Are you listening?
00:39:58Put Steve Layton back on the payroll and give him a hundred dollar bonus.
00:40:02How do you like that, Stevie?
00:40:04Oh, I'm just thrilled.
00:40:06No N.
00:40:07Pals, aren't we, Stevie, old boy?
00:40:09Now, look, about that Gateson girl.
00:40:11Yes, yes, she's here.
00:40:13No.
00:40:14No, she hasn't been sentenced yet.
00:40:15You won't let me down.
00:40:16Now, will you state it, please?
00:40:17I'm dependent on you.
00:40:18All right.
00:40:19I'll tell you I'll handle it.
00:40:20Yeah, I'll call you right back soon as I've had a talk with Judge Hart.
00:40:22Yeah.
00:40:22It won't do you no good to talk to me.
00:40:24Judge, do you realize that Miss Gateson is America's richest heiress?
00:40:27I don't care who she is.
00:40:28I'm going to fine her $25.
00:40:30And the needs of Cyrus Jeffrey, the railroad king?
00:40:32$50.
00:40:33The more you talk, the worse it'll be for her.
00:40:36But, Your Honor, her ancestors came over on the Mayflower.
00:40:39$100.
00:40:41I'll take this to the Supreme Court.
00:40:43Oh, you will, eh?
00:40:45Joe, bring in the prisoner.
00:40:47You big city shysters are not going to tell me how to run my court.
00:41:04You ask for it, and I'm going to give it to you.
00:41:07Hello.
00:41:09Young lady, I find you guilty of speeding and sentence you to 30 days in jail.
00:41:14Oh, but, Judge, that's ridiculous.
00:41:1630 days.
00:41:17Yes, sir.
00:41:19Come on.
00:41:34Your own idea?
00:41:36No, it never...
00:41:37Get in here.
00:41:38Why, Judge, no bath?
00:41:51Time enough to worry about that comes Saturday night.
00:41:56Lovely view, isn't it?
00:41:57Oh, hello.
00:41:58She was only a tin can countess.
00:42:01Now she's queen of the Meadowville can.
00:42:03Say, pal.
00:42:05You got a can opener?
00:42:06Shh.
00:42:09Here.
00:42:11Start sawing, sister.
00:42:12Thanks, buddy.
00:42:13Hey, listen.
00:42:14I love me vanity case in the car.
00:42:16Would you just grab it and slip it to me?
00:42:18The vanity case?
00:42:19Sure.
00:42:19Certainly, Toots.
00:42:20Don't go away.
00:42:21I'll be right back.
00:42:22Oh, no, no, I'll go in.
00:42:37Judge!
00:42:38Judge, help!
00:42:39Help!
00:42:40Help!
00:42:41Judge!
00:42:42Judge!
00:42:42Come here, help!
00:42:43Help!
00:42:44Judge!
00:42:44What are you making all this noise for?
00:42:46That man who was just in here, he's robbing my car.
00:42:49He's your lawyer, ain't he?
00:42:50My lawyer.
00:42:51He's a thief.
00:42:52Hurry, hurry, and catch him.
00:42:53Hurry, hurry!
00:43:01What are you doing there?
00:43:02Just looking for Miss Gateson's vanity case.
00:43:03Come inside and prove it.
00:43:05Wait a minute, Judge, she sent these for us.
00:43:06You don't understand.
00:43:08I understand.
00:43:09Get her with me.
00:43:10All right, boy.
00:43:14I tell you, she sent me for it herself.
00:43:22Come on.
00:43:23We'll find out.
00:43:24But, Your Honor, I tell you...
00:43:26Don't Your Honor me.
00:43:27I'm the judge.
00:43:29Does that always happen?
00:43:31No, I...
00:43:33Come on.
00:43:36He said you sent him for your vanity case.
00:43:39That's ridiculous.
00:43:40I have it right here.
00:43:43You're under arrest.
00:43:44Judge, this is a frame-up.
00:43:46Get him.
00:43:46Judge, I tell you something.
00:43:49Judge, you can't do this.
00:43:50It's a frame-up.
00:43:51Cut out.
00:43:53Stealing in my own jail.
00:43:54Want to give the place a bad name?
00:44:01What's in for, pal?
00:44:02Murder?
00:44:03I would be if I could get it you.
00:44:05Here.
00:44:06Start sewing.
00:44:07You a friend of that fellow Layton's?
00:44:16The gentleman who went with you...
00:44:18No, sir.
00:44:19Then what are you doing here?
00:44:20Here?
00:44:22Huh?
00:44:22I ain't here.
00:44:31Judge, you got the case in here, General?
00:44:34Yeah, come on.
00:44:42All fixed now, Judge.
00:44:43Fine.
00:44:45You don't have to worry about this door.
00:44:47Come on.
00:44:51Good afternoon, gentlemen.
00:44:52Here she is.
00:44:53How's it going on, Mr. Johnson?
00:44:55What do you say?
00:44:55Gentlemen, I'll answer all of your questions.
00:44:57You're breaking, you, William.
00:44:58Now, first of all, you can quote me a saying...
00:44:59this is the nicest jail I've ever been in.
00:45:01I'm going to recommend it to all of my friends.
00:45:03I have everything I want here, including the man I love.
00:45:07Oh, da-da-da!
00:45:08Well...
00:45:09Hey, Judge.
00:45:10Mighty dangerous man you got there.
00:45:11What's he in for?
00:45:12Stealing milk bottles?
00:45:13Furgling this woman's car.
00:45:15Another one of her cheap tricks.
00:45:16Oh, Steviken.
00:45:18Just for that, I've a good notion to tell them the whole truth about you.
00:45:21Lady, shovel the dirt and we'll haul it away.
00:45:23Well, when Steviken's heard that I was sentenced for 30 days...
00:45:26he couldn't bear the thought of the separation.
00:45:28So, he had himself thrown in jail just to be near me.
00:45:32What a strong woman!
00:45:34Isn't that cute?
00:45:35Say, Sheriff, why don't you marry him and give him the bride a sweet?
00:45:38Oh, wait a minute, fellas.
00:45:39You wouldn't drink that.
00:45:51Scooped again.
00:45:52That dirty...
00:45:53Twice in two days.
00:45:54Take Steviken off the payroll.
00:45:56Listen.
00:46:01Listen.
00:46:02Listen!
00:46:04That's all I do is listen around this joint.
00:46:10Oh, if I had the wings of an angel...
00:46:18What's the matter, darling?
00:46:21Oh, this is two-sinders.
00:46:22Oh, this is two-sinders.
00:46:23Oh, this is two-sinders.
00:46:24Oh, this is two-sinders.
00:46:25Oh, this is two-sinders.
00:46:26Oh, this is a great-sinders place.
00:46:28Oh, this is a great-sinders place.
00:46:30Well, well, well.
00:46:32Oh, there she is.
00:46:33Oh, there's from that.
00:46:34This way, folks.
00:46:35Right this way.
00:46:36In this cage you had Tin Can Tony the two-gun mall, the most dangerous female criminal in
00:46:40captivity.
00:46:41Oh, dear.
00:46:42How in the world could they put you in such a place?
00:46:43Well, I love you, darling.
00:46:44I love you.
00:46:45I've spent New Year's Eve in a place like this.
00:46:48Tony, darling.
00:46:49This is outrageous.
00:46:50Darling, darling.
00:46:51Don't excite yourself.
00:46:52They're not hanging me till tomorrow.
00:46:53Oh, I was terribly upset when I heard about it.
00:46:54I was just going to dinner with the Count.
00:46:56The Count?
00:46:57Well, yes.
00:46:58He blew in from the coast this morning.
00:46:59Antoinette, how is it possible that they put you in so terrible a place like this?
00:47:03Oh, it's not so bad, Andre.
00:47:05As a matter of fact, it reminds me of your chateau.
00:47:07Especially the plumbing.
00:47:08Blooming.
00:47:09Darling, you look so sweet.
00:47:10Why, this must be one of those public enemies.
00:47:13Hiya, Tubby.
00:47:15Ask for a little kiss, huh?
00:47:16Boom!
00:47:17Don't mind him, folks.
00:47:19He's just my fiancée.
00:47:21Oh, is it?
00:47:22Hey!
00:47:23My compliments, monsieur.
00:47:24You are very lucky.
00:47:25I'm lucky.
00:47:26You're rid of her.
00:47:28Out of the way!
00:47:29Out of the way!
00:47:30Here she is.
00:47:31Make it snappy.
00:47:32Oh, hi, Ant.
00:47:33Did you come to ring for my coming out party?
00:47:34I'll have you out here in a jiffy.
00:47:36It'll be a mighty long jiffy.
00:47:38Attaboy, Judge.
00:47:39Don't let him bluff you.
00:47:40Keep out of this.
00:47:41I'll have you impeached.
00:47:42Hey, Judge, don't let him intimidate you.
00:47:43Contempt of court.
00:47:44I've got a good mind to lock you up, too.
00:47:46Gentlemen, please, if you'll allow me to handle this matter.
00:47:49I'm sure his honor will isn't a reason.
00:47:50Hey, Judge, they're trying to bribe you.
00:47:52Preposterous a man of Mr. Jeffrey standing in the community.
00:47:54I don't care who he is or who she is.
00:47:57I'm the law here.
00:47:58Attaboy, Judge.
00:47:59Remember the power of the press is behind you.
00:48:01And the eyes of the whole nation are on you.
00:48:03From the rock-bound coasts of Maine
00:48:05to the sun-kissed slopes of sunny California.
00:48:08Hooray!
00:48:09Tell her.
00:48:10All of you.
00:48:11Telephone the governor.
00:48:12Huh.
00:48:13A Republican.
00:48:14We'd better follow the usual procedure.
00:48:16I'm sure that we can affect Miss Geason's release in the morning.
00:48:18You mean she's got to be here all night?
00:48:20I'm afraid so.
00:48:21Oh, I don't mind, Nunc.
00:48:22As long as Steve Akins is here.
00:48:24All right.
00:48:25Outside, everybody.
00:48:26Time's up.
00:48:27Attaboy, Judge.
00:48:28I want to get some sleep.
00:48:29I'll send you out some peace to make you comfortable.
00:48:30All right.
00:48:31Some food, Unc.
00:48:32That is, if his honor doesn't object.
00:48:33I don't care what you send.
00:48:35As long as you don't go smelling up the place with none of them French perfumes.
00:48:40Come on.
00:48:41Get out of here.
00:48:42Get!
00:48:43Goodbye, Unc.
00:48:44Goodbye.
00:48:45Good night, Miss Geason.
00:48:46I had a delightful time at your party.
00:48:47Oh, don't rush away.
00:48:48Why don't you stay and spend the evening?
00:48:49As a matter of fact, I think I will.
00:48:50Oh, if I had the wings of an angel.
00:48:53Oh, no.
00:48:54What's the matter?
00:48:55Mice?
00:48:56No, I'm out of cigarettes.
00:48:57Oh, what a shame.
00:48:58So you don't happen to have one, do you?
00:48:59Let's see.
00:49:00Here.
00:49:01Here.
00:49:02Here.
00:49:03Here.
00:49:04Here.
00:49:05Here.
00:49:06Here.
00:49:07Here.
00:49:08Here.
00:49:09Here.
00:49:10Here.
00:49:11Here.
00:49:12Here.
00:49:13Here.
00:49:14Here.
00:49:15Here.
00:49:16Here.
00:49:17Here.
00:49:18Here.
00:49:19Here.
00:49:20Here.
00:49:21Here.
00:49:22Here.
00:49:24I don't suppose you could possibly spare me a puff, huh?
00:49:28Well, no.
00:49:30Good night.
00:49:31But I'll tell you what I will do.
00:49:32I'll, uh, blow some your way.
00:49:33Oh, thanks,初lie.
00:49:36That's wonderful.
00:49:37Here.
00:49:38You don't deserve it, but I'll give you a puff.
00:49:39Now you're a darling.
00:49:40I'll go.
00:49:42Well, I can't reach it there.
00:49:44Is that better?
00:49:46A little closer, please.
00:49:47There you are.
00:49:49Ow!
00:49:50Oh.
00:49:52Give me my cigarette!
00:49:54Give me that cigarette!
00:49:56Give me that cigarette!
00:49:58Don't you think it's kind of early before I choose your bride?
00:50:00I'll get even with you for this.
00:50:02Look out! You almost got me.
00:50:04Here, here, what's the matter? What are you making all this noise for?
00:50:06She bit me, Judge.
00:50:08Bit you? How could...
00:50:22I don't know how you've done it, but don't do it again.
00:50:36All right, Evans. You can let it down now.
00:50:38Lay all this.
00:50:42Oh, that's much better.
00:50:44Oh, Stevie Kent!
00:50:49Stevie!
00:50:52Bevins!
00:50:53Yes, ma'am?
00:50:54Bevins, come here.
00:50:58Would you ask Mr. Layton if he would like to join me in a cup of coffee?
00:51:01Very well, Miss.
00:51:03I beg your pardon, sir.
00:51:04Miss Gateson's compliments, then would you join her in a cup of coffee?
00:51:07You tell Miss Gateson for me to...
00:51:11Wait.
00:51:12Come here.
00:51:16I couldn't possibly do that, sir.
00:51:18Mm, good morning, Judge.
00:51:20Would you like to have a cup of coffee?
00:51:22Come on, get this stuff out of here.
00:51:23What do you want, sir?
00:51:24What's the matter?
00:51:25I just got served as one of them habeas corpuses.
00:51:27Gotta let you go.
00:51:28Hooray!
00:51:31Goodbye, dear.
00:51:32Without you, jail is going to be heaven.
00:51:35No.
00:51:36Judge, come here.
00:51:38How much is this fine?
00:51:40Five.
00:51:41Five dollars.
00:51:42All right, I'll pay it.
00:51:46I'll get out just as soon as I can change.
00:51:48Bevins, the rogue.
00:51:49Yes, ma'am.
00:51:53Come on, get out.
00:51:54What's the matter?
00:51:55I'm just beginning to enjoy it here.
00:51:56Your fine's been paid.
00:51:58Autumn.
00:51:59Autumn!
00:52:00She's not going to pay my fine.
00:52:01I stand on my constitutional rights and I'm staying right here.
00:52:04If you do, it's going to cost you hotel rates.
00:52:06Two dollars a day.
00:52:07Make him pay in advance, Judge.
00:52:09You betcha.
00:52:10All right.
00:52:11Bevins, do you see I've got gas in my car?
00:52:13I'll go.
00:52:14Pretty well then.
00:52:15I'll go.
00:52:16But you'll hear from my lawyer about this.
00:52:18So long.
00:52:19See you later.
00:52:20Not if I see you first.
00:52:21Did you forget anything?
00:52:23Fight.
00:52:40Let me out of here.
00:52:41I'm the judge here.
00:52:42Let me out.
00:52:44Let me out.
00:52:48Let me out of here.
00:52:49I'm the judge here.
00:52:50Let me out.
00:52:53Let me out.
00:53:16Haven't you got a phone?
00:53:17Yeah.
00:53:18I'd like to stick it in your eye.
00:53:19Oh, you would.
00:53:23I had no ideaintérieur.
00:53:26Let me out.
00:53:28Come on let me out of here.
00:53:29Let me out of here.
00:53:30Let me out.
00:53:39Of course I'm the judge.
00:53:41All right.
00:54:11Miss Gateson! Miss Gateson!
00:54:41Miss Gateson! Miss Gateson! Miss Gates.
00:54:57May the early 1800s
00:55:11Let's go.
00:55:41Let's go.
00:56:11Let's go.
00:56:12Let's go.
00:56:13Come in.
00:56:14Come in.
00:56:15Well, Mr. Leighton, this is a pleasure. Joe Brady's a name pressed to play. Oh! Say, doing your own sewing, eh? You millionaires have some funny hobbies. I know one that collects chorus girls.
00:56:39Yeah, what else do you know? Mr. Leighton, I'm a man of few words, but I have something here to interest you. I know you're rich, but how'd you like to make a thousand dollars a week? All you gotta do is sign on the data line. What's all this about? Personal appearances. A thousand dollars. Twelve weeks. Twelve thousand dollars. You open at the state Friday. You know, hook? Sing? Well, it doesn't matter. All you gotta do is come out, pull a couple of gags, and then tell the peasants how you knocked over that hundred million dollar baby. Get out of here.
00:57:09Come in.
00:57:16Come in.
00:57:25That's a pretty tie you're wearing.
00:57:27Come in.
00:57:31If I'd known you were coming, I'd put on my tail.
00:57:33Well, that isn't best to say.
00:57:34If you're doing relief work, the slums are two blocks east.
00:57:37Well, you wouldn't answer my phone call, so I thought I'd better come over.
00:57:40I let my valet go this evening, so I've got to do this myself.
00:57:43What?
00:57:44Oh, here. Let me do that for you.
00:57:46You? You probably saw it to my skin.
00:57:48Oh, you think so, huh?
00:57:49Yes.
00:57:50Come on, Smarty. Get your hands away, and I'll show you.
00:57:55Wonderful.
00:57:57I can't believe it.
00:57:58Must be an optical illusion.
00:57:59You a cook, too?
00:58:01Jilting.
00:58:04Maybe I should take our engagement seriously.
00:58:07I'm afraid not.
00:58:09As a matter of fact, I've just come from a very delightful dinner party.
00:58:12For the express purpose of telling you that I'm jilting, Doctor.
00:58:16Jilting?
00:58:17Mm-hmm.
00:58:19Oh, I get it.
00:58:20Heiress Ayres Reporter.
00:58:21More headlines, huh?
00:58:22Okay.
00:58:23It'll be great.
00:58:24Great publicity for that.
00:58:27What's that?
00:58:28A vote bill contract.
00:58:29The poor reporter gets $1,000 a week for telling the public how he won the $100 million heiress.
00:58:34Oh, you wouldn't do anything as cheap as that.
00:58:36Who wouldn't have it?
00:58:37Well, you'll see.
00:58:38Go on.
00:58:39Tell the papers that you're going to jilting me.
00:58:40I'll welcome all the publicity you can give me now.
00:58:42Go on.
00:58:43Make me just as big a public freak as you can.
00:58:44Go on.
00:58:45Go on.
00:58:46Jilting!
00:58:47We're still engaged!
00:58:48We certainly are!
00:58:55What did you have in mind, Mr. Layton?
00:58:57Something that's done in the very best circles by engaged couples.
00:59:01Last call, lady.
00:59:02Are we still engaged?
00:59:03Absolutely.
00:59:04What a call.
00:59:06I'm afraid this engagement for us can't go on.
00:59:09Yes, I see that it can't.
00:59:10I, uh...
00:59:11I think the best thing to do is call this thing off as quickly and quietly as possible.
00:59:16What do you intend to suggest?
00:59:17You will.
00:59:18Will you meet me at the express tomorrow morning?
00:59:19Ten o'clock.
00:59:20I want Canavan to get the story first.
00:59:21They won't believe me, but if you're there...
00:59:23I'm afraid this engagement of ours can't go on.
00:59:28Yes, I see that it can't.
00:59:29I, uh...
00:59:30I think the best thing to do is call this thing off as quickly and quietly as possible.
00:59:35What do anything you suggest?
00:59:38You will.
00:59:39Will you meet me at the express tomorrow morning?
00:59:41Ten o'clock.
00:59:42I want Canavan to get the story first.
00:59:44They won't believe me, but if you're there...
00:59:46I'll be there.
00:59:47I'll be there.
00:59:48Great.
00:59:51Good night.
00:59:52Good night.
00:59:53That's safe.
01:00:02Thanks for the needlework.
01:00:08That's all right.
01:00:16Now, now, just a minute, Canavan.
01:00:17Maybe Layton's sending the truth.
01:00:18Why not wait and see?
01:00:19I tell you, it's a waste of time.
01:00:20And I don't want this heel around the office.
01:00:21I tell you, she'll be here.
01:00:22Tony Gates and coming to a newspaper office.
01:00:23Of all the idiotic, give him a silly...
01:00:24All right, all right, wise guy.
01:00:25I'll bet you're stuck on the jaw she shows up.
01:00:26Come on.
01:00:27Mr. Layton, your proposition intrigues me.
01:00:28What's the time limit?
01:00:29She said 10 o'clock.
01:00:30Make it 10.15.
01:00:31Where we send your remains, hmm?
01:00:33Good morning, guys.
01:00:34The Daily Express.
01:00:35OK, gaten, miss gaten.
01:00:36Just a moment, please.
01:00:38Miss Lloyd, she's gone to the city hall with the count to get married.
01:00:41Her maid just told me.
01:00:42Thank you, sir.
01:00:43City hall wohnt.
01:00:44Yes, ma'am.
01:00:46Good morning, gunny.
01:00:48What's the time limit?
01:00:50She said 10 o'clock.
01:00:51Make it 10.15.
01:00:52Where we send your remains, hmm?
01:00:54Good morning,ας.
01:00:55The Daily Express.
01:00:56Thanks, Good morning, miss gaten.
01:00:58Just a moment, please.
01:00:59Miss Lloyd, she's gone to the city hall with the count,
01:01:00to get married.
01:01:01A maid just told me.
01:01:02Hi.
01:01:03Thank you, sir.
01:01:04Don't push, mister. Wee's in just as big a hurry as you is.
01:01:25Five minutes to go, Stevie.
01:01:28Just fill it out.
01:01:42Now, don't be nervous, my dear.
01:01:44Well, it's my first elopement, you know.
01:01:46Is this a private wedding or can anyone get in?
01:01:49But don't worry. What are you doing here?
01:01:51You need a witness, don't you?
01:01:52Oh, darling, you're not angry with me.
01:01:53Oh, Lois, don't be silly.
01:01:55I almost did the very same thing myself.
01:01:57Oh, heavens, I'm so nervous I can hardly hold a pen.
01:02:00Well, I'll tell you what you do.
01:02:01You go over there and sit down.
01:02:02I'll fill it out and then you can sign it.
01:02:03Oh, but go on, I know all the answers.
01:02:05Go on, choose.
01:02:06Yeah.
01:02:14What's on it?
01:02:15Any objections?
01:02:16But, uh...
01:02:17Why, you darn fool, you know I love you.
01:02:19But this thing has just made me realize it, that's all.
01:02:22Don't you want me?
01:02:23Why, why, yes, of course.
01:02:25But, uh, you're engaged to that reporter.
01:02:28You don't think I give you up for him, do you?
01:02:30He doesn't mean a thing in the world to me.
01:02:33Come on, I'll prove it to you.
01:02:35Darling, we'll be right back.
01:02:38We're planning a little surprise for you.
01:02:40Come on.
01:02:41Come on.
01:03:03This is a pleasure I've been looking forward to for a long, long time.
01:03:11Stick out that lug, Stevie.
01:03:16Hello, the Express.
01:03:17Mr. Steve Layton, please.
01:03:22Swango!
01:03:34Steve! Here she is!
01:03:38What? What is it?
01:03:39Here she is!
01:03:43All right, you lugs.
01:03:44What do you expect for an encore?
01:03:45A band dance?
01:03:46Scram, will you?
01:03:48Hello, Mr. Layton.
01:03:49Miss Gateson speaking.
01:03:51Here's a little scoop for you.
01:03:52I'm going to be married.
01:03:54What?
01:03:55The Count?
01:03:56Oh, now, wait a minute, Tony.
01:03:57You can't do that.
01:03:58I mean...
01:03:59Oh, think it over.
01:04:00Oh, I thought you were all washed up with him.
01:04:03Well, the...
01:04:04Oh, no, that was just a little tiff.
01:04:06Yes.
01:04:07Everything's all patched up now.
01:04:09Yes.
01:04:11Yes, sir.
01:04:12We're going to be married right away.
01:04:13Right away?
01:04:14Now?
01:04:17Well, congratulations.
01:04:20I hope you'll be very happy.
01:04:22Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:04:23Thanks for giving me the scoop.
01:04:25Wait a minute.
01:04:26Tell it to Canavan, will you?
01:04:27Yeah.
01:04:29Yeah?
01:04:31Yeah.
01:04:32Thanks.
01:04:33Thanks very much, Miss Gateson.
01:04:34I'm sorry, Steve, old boy.
01:04:35Rip out the front page, Logan.
01:04:36Looks like you were right.
01:04:37Hey, O'Malley, I'm the devil there.
01:04:38I got the hottest story you've ever had,
01:04:39and I want to bet it out of beautiful brown.
01:04:40Wait a minute.
01:04:42Seems to me you collected a bet you didn't really win.
01:04:46If we'd have bet money, you'd have had to pay me back, wouldn't you?
01:04:48Yeah, but it wasn't money we bet.
01:04:49That's right.
01:04:50Well, are you going to tell her, or shall I?
01:05:06Uh, yes, yes, yes.
01:05:09My little Lois.
01:05:11I don't know how to say this.
01:05:12I hope you will forgive me, but...
01:05:14But Antoinette and I, we've been so deeply in love that we cannot...
01:05:20That is, I cannot...
01:05:21André, what are you trying to say?
01:05:23That I'm going to marry Antoinette.
01:05:25Oh, I'm so sorry, ma petite.
01:05:27So that's why you followed us here.
01:05:29Oh, how could you be so beastly?
01:05:31No, but Lois.
01:05:32And you, you...
01:05:33Lois, Lois.
01:05:36You can go now.
01:05:39Now what?
01:05:40Why, you cheap fortune, Heather.
01:05:42You didn't think I'd really marry you, did you?
01:05:45I only did this to show you up for what you are.
01:05:48Now go on, get out of here.
01:05:50Get out.
01:05:55Oh, honey, don't.
01:05:57Don't.
01:05:59What's money to me?
01:06:01What do I care about society?
01:06:03I love you for yourself alone.
01:06:07Stevie.
01:06:08Sweetheart.
01:06:10Say it again.
01:06:13Oh, boy, that's great.
01:06:14You slaughtered.
01:06:15Steve, you're a sensation.
01:06:16Listen, we'll try it again from the last clinch.
01:06:18And Tessie, please, be a little more Park Avenue.
01:06:21You're playing a character.
01:06:22You're supposed to be a lady.
01:06:24Who's that? I ain't.
01:06:25Maybe it's only a rumor.
01:06:26All right.
01:06:27Take it again.
01:06:28And plenty of bunk.
01:06:29Maestro.
01:06:33Can't you say I love you, Steven?
01:06:36Steven?
01:06:37Come in.
01:06:42Oh, Miss Gateson.
01:06:43You're just in time.
01:06:44Maybe you'll give Miss LaRue a few pointers.
01:06:46Pointers?
01:06:48Yes.
01:06:49She's playing you in my vaudeville act.
01:06:53Okay, Toots.
01:06:57Can't you see I love you, Steven?
01:06:59Steven?
01:07:00But you'll be much happier with the Count, Miss Gateson.
01:07:03He's your kind.
01:07:05I'm only a poor but honest reporter.
01:07:08But you don't have to be poor.
01:07:10The Gateson millions are enough for both of us.
01:07:13Contemptible, Steve.
01:07:16You can't do this.
01:07:17Oh, I can't, eh?
01:07:18How about what you've done to me?
01:07:20It's my turn now.
01:07:21I'm gonna make you the laughing stock of the country.
01:07:23I'm gonna take you off the front page and put you in the comic section where you belong.
01:07:26Hey, Miss Gateson, wait a minute.
01:07:28How about you going to the act yourself?
01:07:29I can get you $7.50 a week.
01:07:30Yeah, maybe you can get the Count, too.
01:07:33And I came up here to tell you...
01:07:36You're despicable.
01:07:41Oh, but aren't you gonna do something?
01:07:42He'll disgrace me.
01:07:43The man's gone mad, I tell you.
01:07:44No, he isn't.
01:07:45He's a smart fellow.
01:07:46I like him.
01:07:47What theater is he gonna play at?
01:07:48I think I'll go down and see him.
01:07:49Listen, Anke, you don't understand.
01:07:50He's only doing it for spite anyway.
01:07:52He's a newspaper man.
01:07:53Anke, he'll ruin himself.
01:07:54Oh, worrying about him now, are you?
01:07:56Well, after all, it was my fault.
01:07:57I started the whole thing in the first place.
01:07:59Oh, please, Anke, you gotta do something just this once.
01:08:01Please.
01:08:02You know, what you gotta do, young lady, is eat crow and plenty of it.
01:08:05I wish you were a boy so that I could put you across me knee.
01:08:08I've got a good mind to, anyway.
01:08:10Finley, I want you to meet Mr. Jeffery.
01:08:25How do you do, Mr. Jeffery?
01:08:26How do you do?
01:08:27Mr. Jeffery just bought a half interest in the express.
01:08:29Well, that's good news for everybody.
01:08:30Remember, gentlemen, this is strictly between ourselves.
01:08:32Not even my niece must know about it.
01:08:33This sort of straightens out our financial difficulties, Finley.
01:08:36And the first thing I'm going to do is to give you that six months vacation I promised you.
01:08:39With pay.
01:08:40Thanks.
01:08:41I can use both.
01:08:42But, uh, who's gonna take my place?
01:08:43Well, uh, I have a very good suggestion.
01:08:46Morning.
01:08:47Morning.
01:08:48Morning, Logue.
01:08:49Good morning.
01:08:50Morning.
01:08:51Morning.
01:08:52Morning.
01:08:53Morning, Logue.
01:08:54Good morning.
01:08:55Good morning.
01:08:56Morning.
01:08:57Good morning.
01:08:58Where did this come from?
01:09:11The boss.
01:09:13Listen, Finley, I...
01:09:15Never mind. I'm coming right in.
01:09:17I'll show you who's running this desk.
01:09:20Listen, Finley, why does this brainstorming?
01:09:22Peyton's the name.
01:09:26Yes?
01:09:27Canavan speaking. Take me off the payroll.
01:09:29Yes, sir.
01:09:29Yeah, it's just what I expected from you, you big lug.
01:09:31I knew you wouldn't be man enough to take it.
01:09:33You think I'm going to take orders from a dirty...
01:09:34Hello?
01:09:41Is Mr. Canavan in your office?
01:09:43The Count of Guillaume would like to speak to you.
01:09:45Who?
01:09:46Put him on. I'll talk to him.
01:09:48You can take it right there.
01:09:52Hello? Is this the editor?
01:09:55Would you be interested in publishing some very charming love letters?
01:09:58Love letters?
01:10:00Oui, monsieur.
01:10:01Of course you understand I cherish these letters very highly...
01:10:03and I wouldn't give them up without a substantial consideration, as well.
01:10:07What makes you think we'd be interested in love letters?
01:10:09The whole world would be interested there from Tony Gateson.
01:10:13Tony Gateson?
01:10:13But the...
01:10:14Who is this talking?
01:10:18Oh, come right on in, Count.
01:10:22Yes?
01:10:22Layton speaking.
01:10:23Put Canavan back on the payroll.
01:10:24Yes, sir.
01:10:25Mr. Layton left the house early this morning.
01:10:30Do you know where he went?
01:10:30To the newspaper.
01:10:31Back to his job.
01:10:32Oh, just glad he is forgetting it.
01:10:34Coming into sudden affluence.
01:10:35As they say, it's not all Bill and Skitt.
01:10:36It's not by a whole lockdown.
01:10:37It is a great bargain, monsieur.
01:10:41Ten beautiful letters, ten thousand dollars.
01:10:43Of course, if the price is a little too high, we have some other news...
01:10:46Okay, Count.
01:10:47Okay, it's a deal.
01:10:48If you want to be the cashier and get me a check for ten thousand dollars, payable at the count.
01:10:50Hello?
01:10:51Who?
01:10:52Oh.
01:10:53Well, send her in.
01:10:57You will get a great satisfaction from publishing these letters, especially as an ex-fiancée of...
01:11:03Oh, skip that if you don't mind.
01:11:04If you wish.
01:11:05If you wish.
01:11:11Andre.
01:11:12No, no, no. Stay where you are.
01:11:13Have a chair, Miss Gateson.
01:11:14Well, this is all right.
01:11:15Count and I are just finishing a little business transaction.
01:11:17Remember those?
01:11:18Andre, give them to me.
01:11:19They're no longer mine.
01:11:20You can still give them back if you want to.
01:11:22No, no, no, no. That would be unethical.
01:11:23I've already sold them to you.
01:11:25How much?
01:11:26Ten thousand dollars.
01:11:27I'll give you twenty-five thousand.
01:11:28Well, I have not yet to see for money.
01:11:30Twenty-five thousand dollars?
01:11:31You take one cent of her money and I'll have you arrested for blackmail.
01:11:33You made a bargain and you'll stick to it.
01:11:35These letters belong to the paper.
01:11:36All right, Mr. Layton.
01:11:37Go ahead and print them in your filthy sheet.
01:11:38If they're fit for print.
01:11:39Oh.
01:11:40Last you found a chance to get even with me.
01:11:41Both of you.
01:11:42All right.
01:11:43Go ahead.
01:11:44Go ahead. I deserve it.
01:11:45I deserve it getting mixed up with a couple of no good...
01:11:47No good soldiers like you two.
01:11:49No.
01:11:50Give me the check.
01:11:52Here you are.
01:11:55You bought them very cheap.
01:11:56Oh, you think you should have more, hmm?
01:11:58No.
01:11:59Shall I give it to him?
01:12:01Heads or tails?
01:12:02Tails.
01:12:03Heads.
01:12:04Heads.
01:12:05I understand you bought some letters of a personal nature.
01:12:17That's right.
01:12:18Then I shall have to ask you to hand them over to me.
01:12:19I ask why?
01:12:20Because I don't believe it would be a good policy to publish them.
01:12:22When I was hired here, it was understood that I was to be the sole judge of what's news.
01:12:24There will have to be an exception made in this case.
01:12:25Since when is the policy of the Express being dictated by Park Avenue and Wall Street?
01:12:30Stop beating about the Bush.
01:12:31Tell him.
01:12:32Go on.
01:12:33Tell him.
01:12:34Go on.
01:12:35Tell him.
01:12:36Layton.
01:12:37I didn't intend you should know.
01:12:38But yesterday, Mr. Jeffries bought a half interest in my paper.
01:12:39It was out here suggestion that you were made managing editor.
01:12:40Oh, I guess.
01:12:41So I owe it all to the little woman with the big bankroll, eh?
01:12:42Well, Uncle, you...
01:12:43Steve, I didn't know anything about this.
01:12:44Honestly, I didn't.
01:12:45You'll find Miss Gateson's letters in the office vault, 9 through.
01:12:48As of right now.
01:12:49Steve.
01:12:50Got a lot of spunk, that fellow.
01:12:51Only man who can be a fool.
01:12:52He'll be a fool.
01:12:53I'll be a fool.
01:12:54I'm not a fool.
01:12:55Oh, I'm not a fool.
01:12:56I'm a fool.
01:12:57I'm not a fool.
01:12:58I'm not a fool.
01:12:59But I'll be too young.
01:13:00I have to be a fool.
01:13:01You're a fool.
01:13:02You're a fool.
01:13:03I'm not a fool.
01:13:04I'm a fool.
01:13:05I'm a fool.
01:13:06I'm a fool.
01:13:07I'm a fool.
01:13:08I'm a fool.
01:13:09I'm a fool.
01:13:10I'm a fool.
01:13:11Got a lot of spunk, that fellow.
01:13:13Only man ever dared accuse me of stealing a railroad.
01:13:15I'll get the letters for you.
01:13:16Yeah, he was right, too.
01:13:18Oh, now, wait a minute.
01:13:20Think it over, Stevie.
01:13:22Not a chance.
01:13:23So long, John.
01:13:30Yes?
01:13:30Take Steve Layton off the payroll.
01:13:32Yes, sir.
01:13:41I'll send you my check for the $10,000.
01:14:07Where are you going?
01:14:09I'm going to eat crow.
01:14:11Do you good?
01:14:13I don't care how many millions that Gateson dame's got.
01:14:16If she tries to interfere with this desk, I'm walking out, too.
01:14:20Where's Steve Layton?
01:14:22Mike's place.
01:14:23Where's that?
01:14:24Around the corner.
01:14:25Thanks.
01:14:30What's Steve Layton back?
01:14:31Back on the payroll.
01:14:32Yeah, that's right.
01:14:37Well, there's one for the master.
01:14:39I don't suppose you play this on Park Avenue.
01:14:41Oh, sure.
01:14:42With cocktails and champagne.
01:14:44Well, this is good enough for me.
01:14:46Ah, not that one.
01:14:49Oh, Miss Gateson.
01:14:49Oh, Miss Gateson.
01:14:50Oh, Miss Gateson.
01:14:51Hold on, will you?
01:14:52What's that?
01:14:52Oh, Miss Gateson.
01:14:53Gentlemen, gentlemen, wait a minute.
01:14:55I didn't come here to give in to you.
01:14:57I came to get one.
01:14:58For Mr. Layton.
01:14:59This place is getting a little too ritzy for me.
01:15:07Steve!
01:15:21Steve!
01:15:22Mr. Layton, I reckon there's a name expressed, but I'd like to ask you a few questions.
01:15:27Steve!
01:15:28Wait a minute.
01:15:29Steve!
01:15:30Wait a minute.
01:15:31Steve!
01:15:31Steve!
01:15:32Steve, wait a minute.
01:15:33Steve!
01:15:34Don't you think Tony Gateson is a deal for me?
01:15:41When are you going to begin treating her like one?
01:15:44When are you going to begin acting like one yourself?
01:15:46Steve!
01:15:47Steve!
01:15:48Steve!
01:15:49Steve!
01:15:50Steve!
01:15:51Steve!
01:15:52Steve!
01:15:53Steve!
01:15:54Don't you realize she's sorry?
01:15:56Why did you have made you all sorry?
01:15:57Why did you guys realize you loved her?
01:15:58Steve!
01:15:59Steve!
01:16:00Steve!
01:16:01When are you going to forget her money?
01:16:02Is it her fault that she's rich?
01:16:03The rich women have to be old maids.
01:16:04Hello.
01:16:05Give me Canavan, quick.
01:16:06Do you remember the time you kissed her?
01:16:07Hello, Marty.
01:16:08Start her role yet?
01:16:09I'll set to go, Steve.
01:16:10When are you going to kiss her again?
01:16:11Hold it.
01:16:12Oh!
01:16:13Oh!
01:16:14Oh!
01:16:15Oh!
01:16:16Oh!

01:16:26Oh!
01:16:27Oh!
01:16:28Oh!
01:16:29How'd that sound?
01:16:30Never heard anything more beautiful.
01:16:31Wonderful.
01:16:32Maybe.
01:16:33Yes, Mabel!
01:16:34Well anyway, we've talked more about-
