09:42Oliver, darling.
09:43Hello, honey.
09:44I just dropped in there to tell you I'm giving a dinner party tonight at 7.
09:48I invited the judge and his wife and all those people that will be so helpful to you in your campaign.
09:53Well, you won't be able to go.

10:14Why, Oliver.
10:31Merry Christmas, sweetheart.
10:33Christmas?
10:34But, Oliver, it's only July.
10:37Oh, I know.
10:38It's one of the planks of my platform.
10:41Do your Christmas shopping early.
10:43Just the same little apple-cheeked boy.
10:48Oh, isn't that beautiful?
10:49I must see how it looks.
10:52Ooh, look.
10:53Oh, look.
10:59Where's the key?

11:20Goodbye, Daddy, and don't forget seven.
11:22I won't, dear.
11:23Goodbye.
11:25Say, what's the big idea?
11:29I'm sorry.
11:30I have another appointment.
11:31We'll have to call the whole thing off.
11:33Oh, is that so?
11:34Well, that's where I live.
11:36You be there at seven, or else...

12:16I'll try to get there later.
12:18What about my wife?
12:20Call her up and tell her you're working.
12:25You don't know my wife.
12:27She wouldn't believe that.
12:30Well, if she was dumb enough to marry you, she'd believe anything.
12:37Come here.
12:38Far be it for me, Mrs. Laurel, to talk about anybody.
12:45But...
12:46Don't trust any man.
12:48Hm.
12:49I've had five of them.
12:50And I know.
12:53Pardon me just a moment.
12:56Hello.
12:57Oh, hello, Stanley, dear.

13:02Mr. Hardy.
13:03Very important business.
13:04Yeah.
13:05He's in a jam.
13:06Hello, Mrs. Laurel.
13:07Uh, this is Mr. Hardy.
13:08Uh, I'm sorry, but it's imperative.
13:09Positively imperative that Stanley works tonight.
13:10Yeah.
13:11Something to do with my campaign.
13:12Is that so?
13:15Well, I don't care anything about your campaign.
13:17Listen.
13:18You tell him for me that if he isn't home for dinner, I'll break his arm.
13:24Uh, thank you so much for your cooperation.

13:47There you are.
13:48Nothing to it.
13:58Did she say I could stay out?
14:00Why, certainly.
14:01And furthermore, she said that as long as you were with me, you could go as far as you liked.
14:07Now you go over to the apartment and keep this troublemaker in a good way.
14:12Humor until I can get there.
14:13You know.

28:01What do I do?
28:03Oh, poor thing.
28:05She'll be all right.
28:07I'm sure she will.
28:09Oh!
28:11Oh!
28:17Oh!
28:19Oh, this is terrible.
28:21You and Mrs. Long had better spend the night here.
28:23I'll go and arrange the guest room.
28:33What do we do now?
28:35Let's get her out of here before my wife comes back.
28:37Put her on my back and I'll carry her out.
28:55Oliver?
28:57Oh!
28:59Oh!
29:00Wait a minute!
29:03Oliver!
29:19We've decided to go home.
29:21Good night.
29:23Good night.
29:25All right.
