00:00:00The End
00:00:32The End
00:01:03Ladies and gentlemen
00:01:04We are gathered here this afternoon
00:01:06For the purpose of selling the effects of Mr. William Hale
00:01:09Who is leaving Africa for England tomorrow
00:01:13Assuming the sale is successful
00:01:15Lot number one
00:01:16A wonderful piece of furniture
00:01:18A genuine antique
00:01:19What am I offered?
00:01:20Ten
00:01:20Thirteen
00:01:21Seventeen
00:01:22Twenty
00:01:22Twenty-five
00:01:23Hey, I only paid a tenner for it myself
00:01:25Twenty-five was the last offer
00:01:29Do I air thirty for this genuine antique thirty?
00:01:32Thirty-five
00:01:32Come on down from there
00:01:36This is my sale
00:01:37And I wish to make a speech
00:01:47Ladies and gentlemen
00:01:49We are gathered here today to take part in the regrettable failure of one William Hale
00:01:54You're not a failure, Willie
00:01:57Angel
00:01:59The failure of the aforementioned W. Hale
00:02:02May be attributed to
00:02:03Fosses with short noses
00:02:06Good cards
00:02:07But not good enough
00:02:08Well luck, old man
00:02:09Nonsense
00:02:11But it is obvious that many of you are here today prepared to pay out a friendship for me
00:02:15Prices far beyond the value of the articles to be sold
00:02:20Yes, yes
00:02:22And believe me, my friends, I am grateful
00:02:24But it cannot be
00:02:25And so that you are not cheated
00:02:27I am going to be the auctioneer
00:02:32Lot number one
00:02:33Even if this piece of furniture were to live another thousand years, it will never be an antique
00:02:36How much am I bet?
00:02:37Nine
00:02:38Forty
00:02:39Fifty
00:02:40Who said nine?
00:02:41Fifteen
00:02:41Who said nine?
00:02:42I did
00:02:44For the third and last time, it's yours
00:02:46Oh, no
00:02:46You can't do that
00:02:50Lot number two
00:02:52Here we have the bed occupied by one W. Hale during the entire two years of his life in East
00:02:58Africa
00:02:58How much?
00:02:59With or without the owner
00:03:00Without?
00:03:01Sixpence
00:03:05For such a charming compliment, it's yours
00:03:09And I'll chuck in a couple of blankets
00:03:11Five pounds
00:03:12Eight
00:03:12Ten
00:03:13Twelve
00:03:14Forty
00:03:14Who said ten?
00:03:16I did
00:03:17It's yours
00:03:18I've always wanted you to sleep in it
00:03:23Here, if I may say so, is the ugliest piece of furniture ever born into the world
00:03:28How much?
00:03:29One pound
00:03:29Two
00:03:29Three
00:03:30Four
00:03:31Five
00:03:32Come on, stick to it
00:03:33I've almost got my passage money
00:03:42Good heavens
00:03:45What's the matter?
00:03:46Oh, no, no, no, nothing
00:03:47What is it?
00:03:49What are you?
00:03:50You can't be reading the paper and then jump up in the air and say no, no, no, no, no,
00:03:54nothing
00:03:55Terribly funny
00:03:56Will you tell me what's in that paper at once?
00:03:59Your son, Willie, has met with him as fortune, darling
00:04:01I knew it
00:04:03What's the scoundrel been doing now?
00:04:05Read it
00:04:06Lord Leland's son sells himself up in East Africa
00:04:09I knew it
00:04:10I told him this was the last chance I'd give him
00:04:12Go on, what's it say?
00:04:13What's it say?
00:04:14Mr. William Hale, youngest son of Lord Leland
00:04:16Conducted a sale of his furniture in person
00:04:19He attributed his failure to horses with short noses
00:04:23Good cards, but not good enough
00:04:25At the end of the sale, he informed his audience he was clear of death
00:04:29His passage home
00:04:31And a hundred pounds to play cards
00:04:33Doctor, the villain
00:04:34I
00:04:34I give him a house and furniture and he sells the lot
00:04:38Never again
00:04:39Father, darling, calm yourself
00:04:41I won't calm myself
00:04:42The scoundrel's been nothing but trouble since the day he was born
00:04:46This is the
00:04:47This is the tenth time I've given him another chance and he's failed me
00:04:50But father
00:04:51Never again
00:04:52Never again
00:04:52Never
00:04:53Never
00:04:54Never
00:04:54If he
00:04:56If he ever sits his foot in this house again, I'll
00:04:59I'll kick him out
00:05:01That's what I'll do
00:05:02I'll
00:05:02I'll personally kick him out
00:05:04The villain
00:05:05The infernal villain
00:05:07I
00:05:08Hello, Jonathan
00:05:09Lord Leland in the role of the heavy father was tremendously effective
00:05:15You
00:05:16You
00:05:17Cheeky little devil, you
00:05:24And who's going to get the order of the boot?
00:05:27Don't tell me, Arthur, you've been a bad boy
00:05:29Hello, Dorothy
00:05:30Hello, Arthur
00:05:31No, I'm not the guilty one
00:05:32It's little brother Willie
00:05:34Well, after all, I do see the old boy's point of view
00:05:37Yes, you would
00:05:40Susan tells me that you're going to become engaged to the Grand Duke Paul
00:05:43Yes
00:05:44Well, he's a lucky fellow
00:05:46I hope he makes you very happy
00:05:49Will the future Grand Duchess take tea?
00:05:52Thanks
00:05:53What's he like, this brother of yours?
00:05:56Willie?
00:05:57There's his photograph
00:05:58Oh, he's a wicked, thoughtful, irresponsible sort of a person
00:06:02But I adore him
00:06:06Oh, he is attractive, isn't he?
00:06:18Tired, old fellow?
00:06:19Well, you haven't much further to go
00:06:41Sorry, sir, it's promised
00:06:42Oh, my friend
00:06:43We are living in a world of broken promises
00:06:46All right, go on
00:06:48Come in
00:06:50How's yourself?
00:06:52Oh, not so bad, sir
00:06:53Good
00:06:54Thank you
00:06:54Thank you, sir
00:06:57Now, old friend
00:06:58Let's concentrate
00:06:59Thanks
00:07:00I want you to take these bags to Leland House, Grosvenor Square
00:07:03Oh, I've driven his lordship there many times, sir
00:07:06Oh, good
00:07:07Well, I'm his son
00:07:07Oh
00:07:08Now, now, listen
00:07:10My family doesn't yet know that their little pet is in England again
00:07:13If my luggage arrived before I did
00:07:15It would give them the opportunity of wasting a good deal of their rage on my luggage instead of on
00:07:19me
00:07:21In fact, they might even be too exhausted to say anything to me at all
00:07:24It ain't right, sir
00:07:26But what do you think, eh?
00:07:28Oh, it's a grand idea, sir
00:07:30Good
00:07:31So you pop along with it
00:07:33Leave it
00:07:33And
00:07:35Say nothing
00:07:36Right-o, sir
00:07:37Oh, much obliged, sir
00:07:38We are obliged to each other
00:07:40Not at all, sir
00:07:43Come on
00:07:44Come on
00:07:46Come on
00:07:46Come on
00:07:47Come on
00:07:47Come on
00:07:51That place is running on the derby paper
00:07:53Yes, sir
00:07:56Laguna's sure to win the derby tomorrow, sir
00:07:58I'll lay you the odds of half a crown it doesn't
00:08:00Where do I draw me money, governor?
00:08:02Leland House, Grosvenor Square
00:08:04I'll be there tomorrow night, sir
00:08:06Say, don't you come if it loses
00:08:08You bet your life I won't, sir
00:08:30Well, George, my little fella, and how's yourself?
00:08:34You're bored of being in a shop window, eh?
00:08:36Or so would I be, bless your heart
00:08:39What's that?
00:08:40Be a sportsman and take you out of it
00:08:42Oh, I'm broke
00:08:44Besides, what would I do with you if I did?
00:08:46You'd be no trouble and you'd behave yourself
00:08:49George
00:08:50You lie to me
00:08:51You know you'd be in awful lot of trouble
00:08:53Don't keep on saying you wouldn't because you couldn't help yourself
00:08:58Oh, I tell you I'm broke
00:09:00What's that?
00:09:01You're cheap
00:09:06Just one minute
00:09:08So how much for George?
00:09:10The price is 15 pounds, sir
00:09:14What do you mean by saying you were cheap?
00:09:17What's that?
00:09:19He says you've doubled his price because I look rich
00:09:22Pedigree dog, sir
00:09:23The price is 15 pounds
00:09:26Good afternoon
00:09:39I want to leave 20 in the whole world, George
00:09:42Yes, I know it would leave a fighter
00:09:43But I want to go to the derby tomorrow
00:09:46But for heaven's sake, will you stop looking at me like that?
00:09:49Look here
00:09:51If I offer him a camera and he refuses
00:09:54Well, that satisfies
00:09:58Crush your heart
00:10:04A tenner to George
00:10:06I'm sorry, sir
00:10:07The price is 15 pounds
00:10:11Good afternoon, finally
00:10:15Sorry, George, old fella
00:10:16But he's as hard as nails
00:10:20Goodbye, George
00:10:21I'm sorry
00:10:22I think we might have been good friends
00:10:23Good luck
00:10:25I'll pray you find a nice home
00:10:28Sorry I can't, old fella
00:10:30Must go to the derby tomorrow
00:10:31Goodbye
00:10:31Good luck
00:10:33Good luck
00:10:33Good luck
00:10:58Good luck
00:11:20Give me that dog, and may the Lord have mercy on your soul.
00:11:27Shall I brush him?
00:11:29Oh, thanks.
00:11:33You're just a dirty little blackmailer, isn't you?
00:11:43Taxi.
00:11:46Where are we going?
00:11:49We're going to my club for a whiskey and soda, and then we're going to see a beautiful lady.
00:11:53Do you mind?
00:11:58White stuff.
00:12:00White stuff.
00:12:01White stuff.
00:12:01White stuff.
00:12:01White stuff.
00:12:18Molly!
00:12:19Good Lord, preserve us, Mr. Willie.
00:12:23Oh, sir, I am glad to see you.
00:12:25Where have you been these last two years?
00:12:27Oh, I've been getting about a bit, Molly.
00:12:29Won't Miss Mary be pleased to see you?
00:12:31Listen.
00:12:32Hide behind that screen.
00:12:39You'll keep your mouth shut, you hear?
00:12:46Oh, what's annoying.
00:12:49Oh, how sick I am of it.
00:12:52You'd hate to leave it for all of that.
00:12:55I wonder what's happened to Mr. Willie all this time.
00:12:58The beast hasn't sent me a message in nearly two months.
00:13:03Ring up his father's house and ask where a cable would find him.
00:13:06Save your money, lovey.
00:13:07Little Willie is here.
00:13:10Willie!
00:13:11Mary!
00:13:12Mary!
00:13:16Mary!
00:13:16You beast!
00:13:17Why didn't you tell me you were coming home?
00:13:19I shouldn't have seen how pleased you are to see me.
00:13:22My word, I'm delighted to see you.
00:13:25Oh, this is wonderful.
00:13:27Molly, go and tell them my understudy must go on to me tonight.
00:13:30But, Miss, you...
00:13:31Go and tell them.
00:13:32And you, you're going to take me out to dinner.
00:13:34Oh, I can't think of anything I should like so much.
00:13:37Oh, I'm so glad to see you.
00:13:39Now, you get behind that screen.
00:13:42Get behind that screen and I'll get the episode of it.
00:13:46Ah, whether you like her.
00:13:48But it's just as well, because you're going to see an awful lot of her.
00:14:04Well, Mr. Willie hasn't come home, my lord.
00:14:07There you are.
00:14:08Has his luggage sent her at five o'clock yesterday afternoon.
00:14:12And here it is, half past nine the next morning and not a word.
00:14:16Not a sign of it.
00:14:17Perhaps he's met with an accident.
00:14:19Of course he's met with an accident.
00:14:21I only hope he'll marry her and stay with her.
00:14:24But, Father...
00:14:25There are no buts.
00:14:26I won't stand it.
00:14:27The moment he sets his foot in this house, I'll...
00:14:30I'll kick him out.
00:14:32That's what I'll do.
00:14:33I'll...
00:14:33I'll jolly well kick him out.
00:14:40Ah, there he is now.
00:14:43Ah, back.
00:14:45Good morning, Blunt.
00:14:46Good morning, Miss.
00:14:47Is Miss Susan ready?
00:14:48Miss Susan's just finishing her breakfast, Miss.
00:14:52Dad.
00:14:53I'll kick him out.
00:14:54That's what I'll do.
00:14:55I'll kick him out.
00:14:58Am I interrupting the peace conference?
00:15:00Come in, Dorothy.
00:15:01You sure are not the way?
00:15:02My dear.
00:15:03Hello, Dorothy.
00:15:04Hello.
00:15:04You could never be in the way.
00:15:06Well, well, will they.
00:15:07They tell me tonight is the great night, eh?
00:15:11Well, I don't know about the great night, but I shall be what is known as officially engaged.
00:15:15Eh.
00:15:16And I shall be at the party for the express purpose of drinking to your health and happiness.
00:15:22Oh, that's divine of you, Lord Leland.
00:15:24Not at all.
00:15:25I...
00:15:25I'm very fond of you, my dear.
00:15:27I...
00:15:27I only wish you were going to marry this fellow.
00:15:30Oh, really, Father?
00:15:30Well, this is most embarrassing to me and to Dorothy.
00:15:33I don't care if it is.
00:15:34I'd like to have this girl for a daughter-in-law.
00:15:37You know why?
00:15:38I'm very unfortunate in my sons, Dorothy.
00:15:42This one's an unenterprising fellow and the other, well, ha.
00:15:46A villain may come into the house at any moment.
00:15:51Willie's home.
00:15:52Or at least we think he is.
00:15:53His luggage arrived last night.
00:15:55Here it is, half past nine the next day and not a sign of him.
00:15:58Have you telephoned the police?
00:16:01Do you know Master Willie?
00:16:03No, I...
00:16:03I've never met him.
00:16:04Ah, well, if you had, you'd know that telephoning a policeman's wife would be more effective.
00:16:10Ah, man.
00:16:11A villain, my dear.
00:16:12And the moment he sets his foot in this house, I'll kick him out.
00:16:16I swear I will.
00:16:17I'll kick him out.
00:16:19Yes, my George, I will not.
00:16:32Oh, I'm sorry.
00:16:34Have no fear for the day.
00:16:36You look divine.
00:16:46Good morning.
00:16:47Good morning, sir.
00:16:49Blunt, my dear fellow, I'm glad to see you.
00:16:51And I'm delighted to see you, Mr. Willie.
00:16:54Well, well, well.
00:16:55Tell me, Blunt, how is my father?
00:16:58I should describe his lordship, sir, as a gentleman in uncontrollable rage.
00:17:03Oh, dear, dear, dear.
00:17:04And on my first morning, too.
00:17:05How very unfortunate.
00:17:07George.
00:17:09George, old fellow, I'm not going to take you with me because things are going to be said to me
00:17:13that might make you lose your regard for me.
00:17:15Blunt, would you describe me as looking penitent?
00:17:19Oh, yes, sir.
00:17:21Good.
00:17:22Courage, Willie.
00:17:37Father.
00:17:39I'm delighted to see you looking so well.
00:17:41Oh, Willie.
00:17:47You've no right to be delighted about anything.
00:17:50What are you doing here?
00:17:52I...
00:17:52And where were you last night?
00:17:55I, uh...
00:17:55Well?
00:17:57I unfortunately missed the boat train and had to spend the night in Liverpool.
00:18:02Your luggage was labelled all over, passenger to Southampton.
00:18:06I know, but, uh, but I cheated and got out of Liverpool.
00:18:09Ah, don't...
00:18:10Don't love the scoundrel, Dorothy.
00:18:13You'll follow me to my study.
00:18:18Uh, could I have some of the planted car first, Father?
00:18:21There'll be no planted car for you in this house, my friend.
00:18:25Well, uh, could I have some bacon and eggs?
00:18:27No!
00:18:29Oh, yes, be quick about it.
00:18:31You'll find me in my study.
00:18:37Excuse me, my beloved.
00:18:39Oh, Willie, darling, I'm so glad to see you.
00:18:41Oh, there you are, looking sweeter and more beautiful than ever.
00:18:43Yes, and you, bolder and badder than ever.
00:18:49Oh, you don't know Dorothy, do you?
00:18:51How do you do?
00:18:53How do you do?
00:18:56Oh, Arthur?
00:18:57How are you?
00:18:58I'm all right.
00:18:58Good.
00:19:00I say, look at the time.
00:19:01Aren't you coming to the derby?
00:19:02Oh, I hate Gracie.
00:19:03So did Dorothy.
00:19:04We're going to Lodge so I can play cricket.
00:19:06Oh, I see.
00:19:07All right.
00:19:08Um, back to Laguna, Arthur.
00:19:10I would if I had your money to spare, Willie.
00:19:14Well, here we are.
00:19:15Home, sweet home.
00:19:32What brought you home, Willie?
00:19:33Lack of means, darling.
00:19:34Haven't you any money at all?
00:19:36Uh-huh, two pounds.
00:19:38Egg?
00:19:38Oh, thank you.
00:19:40Father won't give you another penny, you know.
00:19:42And I think I ought to warn you that every chance he'll kick you out.
00:19:45Oh, how awful.
00:19:47I have money.
00:19:48I'll lend you something.
00:19:49Father always taught me never to take money from women, Susan.
00:19:52But Willie, his Lordship is waiting for you.
00:19:55I say, will you tell his Lordship I'm just on the last egg and I'll be there on the table?
00:20:02Dorothy what?
00:20:04Dorothy Hope.
00:20:06I read about you in a paper.
00:20:09Oh, you're going to be married, aren't you?
00:20:12Here's to your happiness.
00:20:14May I bring him to your party tonight?
00:20:15Of course.
00:20:16I say, do come in to the old man.
00:20:17He's in a tearing reach.
00:20:19Oh, I'm sorry.
00:20:23Well, I'll see you tonight.
00:20:24Willie, I must know what happened.
00:20:26We'll be waiting outside in the hall.
00:20:28Good.
00:20:29You must get a nice view from there of me and my luggage being thrown out.
00:20:32Good luck.
00:20:48Sit down.
00:20:49Thank you, sir.
00:20:50May I say, before you express an opinion of me, how glad I am to see you looking so well.
00:20:54I'm not so well.
00:20:56I'm sorry.
00:20:58Now, listen to me, Master Willie.
00:21:01I'm in no mood for flippancy.
00:21:03No more of my father, so we ought to get on splendidly.
00:21:06Aren't you ashamed of yourself?
00:21:08Ashamed?
00:21:09Why?
00:21:09Don't you realize that for the tenth time you've disgraced me?
00:21:14Oh, come now.
00:21:15How can anything I do disgrace you?
00:21:16Well, it's great egoism on your part, surely.
00:21:19Anything disgraceful that I may do merely gains for you an unfair sympathy from a sycophantic world.
00:21:25Didn't you sell the house and furniture I gave her?
00:21:28True.
00:21:29But surely the only disgraceful thing you did was to give me the house and furniture to sell.
00:21:33I agree.
00:21:34Well, then what are you getting so excited about?
00:21:36I'm not getting excited.
00:21:39Shall we say that you're taking life and me too seriously?
00:21:42Now, let me tell you, young man.
00:21:44You've been nothing but trouble since the day you were born.
00:21:48Well, now, as an intelligent man, I wonder you didn't anticipate that possibility.
00:21:53Now, now you're blaming me for bringing you into the world.
00:21:57I should be extremely mortified for your sake if I had to blame anyone else.
00:22:09Why can't you settle down like any other man and do some good in the world?
00:22:13My dear father, I do nothing else.
00:22:15Have you had a moment's boredom since I've been in the room?
00:22:18No.
00:22:19Huh?
00:22:20Your only trouble is you have the father complex.
00:22:22He's my son and he hasn't done any of the things I should like him to do and for that
00:22:25reason I should kick him out.
00:22:26Nah.
00:22:27Nah.
00:22:27And if I thought he'd give you any pleasure, I'd provoke you to do it.
00:22:30But I know it wouldn't.
00:22:31You'd merely lay awake at night wondering if you'd done the wrong thing until you fetch me back again.
00:22:36So to save you from such an invidious position, I, I've refrained from provoking you.
00:22:43And may I ask what you'd do if I did kick you out?
00:22:51Any man with two pounds, a gold cigarette case, and a watch, father, dear, could, if he chose, conquer the
00:22:57world.
00:22:57Oh, good.
00:22:58And why, why don't you?
00:23:02Well, it'd mean having to stay in one place too long.
00:23:04Oh.
00:23:05And until the time comes when I find myself in one place for all time, I propose, either through your
00:23:12generosity or my own wits, to move on and on.
00:23:16Yeah, but much, much against my intonation, I, I, well, I'm bound to admit there's a good deal in what
00:23:25you say.
00:23:26Why, of course there is.
00:23:27Yes, hang it there.
00:23:28There is.
00:23:29Come now, all I've cost you in two years has been a house and some furniture.
00:23:33Yes.
00:23:33I haven't cheated at cards.
00:23:35I haven't wrecked another man's home.
00:23:36I've just had a bit of fun, which were I in your place.
00:23:40Yes.
00:23:41I shouldn't mind paying for it.
00:23:44Okay.
00:23:44Well.
00:23:46If anybody had told me a minute ago that I should be giving you a hundred pounds before you left
00:23:54this room, I used to bet them a thousand they were wrong.
00:24:02Yeah.
00:24:05There you are.
00:24:08Take it and go to Blades.
00:24:11And let me see a lot of you before you go.
00:24:15Oh, I feel this is taking advantage of you.
00:24:17Oh, you're wrong.
00:24:19I don't know why it is, but I, well, I, I like giving it to you.
00:24:25You may be sure the money will be well spent, Father.
00:24:27Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
00:24:29Well spent indeed.
00:24:31Ha, ha.
00:24:31Well spent.
00:24:32Oh, by the way, one good turn, deserving another.
00:24:36That Laguna for the darbis.
00:24:38Why?
00:24:40Because I like you.
00:24:43Ha, ha.
00:24:45Ha, ha.
00:24:45Laguna.
00:24:46Ha, ha.
00:24:47Ha, ha.
00:24:47Ha, ha.
00:24:47Well, ha.
00:24:48Ha, ha.
00:24:49Ha, ha.
00:24:58Oh, my life, and he never gave me a penny.
00:25:00I will, though.
00:25:01A tenner out of this goes on Laguna for you and a tenner for you.
00:25:04Why, I wouldn't dream of it.
00:25:05Oh, now, now, now.
00:25:06Come on.
00:25:06We're going to the darbis.
00:25:09Well, I can't.
00:25:10I thought I asked me to go, and I refuse.
00:25:11She can't go, Willie.
00:25:12Really, she can't.
00:25:13A fiancé will be there, and he'd be furious if she went without him.
00:25:16Well, I'd go use for a fiancé who goes without him.
00:25:17But they'll see her, and there'll be awful trouble.
00:25:19Oh, no, they won't see her, quite.
00:25:21We're going to the other side of the course, among the gypsies, the tramps, and all the
00:25:25real people.
00:25:25But, Willie, that's...
00:25:26Oh, do shut up, Susan.
00:25:27It sounds great fun, and I'm going.
00:25:29Very well.
00:25:30Don't blame me if there's a row.
00:25:31Susan, behave.
00:25:32Mr. Willie.
00:25:34Mr. Willie.
00:25:35What about George?
00:25:37Blunt, will you look after him, and take good care of him?
00:25:41He's going to be a father.
00:25:44Please.
00:25:58Oh.
00:25:58Oh.
00:26:04Here you are, ladies and gentlemen.
00:26:06Eleven for four dialogue.
00:26:08Bill done himself for your friends.
00:26:10Send him to your department, then.
00:26:11We could be a better process.
00:26:12I mean, you're going to be on the road.
00:26:13Right over here.
00:26:14Get your faces, brother.
00:26:15All the high faces.
00:26:16Come on, Picard.
00:26:17I see.
00:26:17I see.
00:26:18I see.
00:26:18I see.
00:26:19I see.
00:26:19I see.
00:26:21I see.
00:26:33Bob?
00:26:35You know, I don't really go around.
00:26:38So do I.
00:26:39I've been on one all my life.
00:26:41I see.
00:26:55Let's go.
00:27:25Oh, you're getting near it now, Missy.
00:27:27Oh, you're getting near it now, Missy.
00:27:33They barely have such women in England.
00:27:35You're priceless.
00:27:36I'll take that one.
00:27:39Where do we go now?
00:27:40Lunch, and wash the grapes on the top of the hill.
00:27:42Oh, come on.
00:27:42There you are.
00:27:46I say, you're a couple of mean beasts leaving me alone all this time.
00:27:50Oh, darling.
00:27:51I'm terribly sorry, but honestly, I've been having such a marvelous time.
00:27:54I'm tired.
00:27:55We've got everything.
00:27:57Oh, I have enjoyed my health, and I'm awfully grateful to you.
00:28:01Don't be upset.
00:28:01Through you, I've had a grand day.
00:28:03Tell me, do you always have this much fun in life?
00:28:06I'm the richest man in the world.
00:28:08I laugh at myself, and everything else takes the times a minute.
00:28:10If you want to back that horse, you'd better give me the money.
00:28:12I'll put it on for you.
00:28:13Oh, angel.
00:28:15I've had my lunch.
00:28:18This is 50 pounds for Willie, 10 for you, and 10 for Miss Hope on Laguna.
00:28:24I shan't take it if it wins.
00:28:26It's madness.
00:28:27Laguna hasn't a chance.
00:28:29I don't agree.
00:28:29I'm in luck today.
00:28:33I'll toss you for the last sausage roll.
00:28:35Heads I win, tails you lose.
00:28:40Tails, bad luck.
00:28:41I couldn't eat a thing.
00:28:43You sure?
00:28:44Because I cheated.
00:28:44Positive.
00:28:52Oh, there's Father in the box.
00:28:54And Paul.
00:28:56Oh, how bored they all look.
00:28:58Paul.
00:28:59That's your fiance, isn't it?
00:29:00Yes.
00:29:01Can I have a look?
00:29:02Certainly.
00:29:07And they call that enjoying life.
00:29:10Perhaps they're right.
00:29:11Oh, I see.
00:29:15Is Paul the fellow on the left?
00:29:19Yes.
00:29:21He's good looking.
00:29:22He is, rather.
00:29:25You know, when I leave you tonight, I shall pop into the first church I come to.
00:29:28What for?
00:29:29To pray for your heaven.
00:29:31Well, that's charming, Uncle.
00:29:32Not at all.
00:29:33I've only known you a couple of minutes, but you go down in my diary as a grand girl.
00:29:37And I've only known you a couple of minutes.
00:29:38And I think you're a grand boss.
00:29:40I've only known you a couple of minutes.
00:29:42And I think you're a grand boss.
00:29:43Fifty Dorothy doesn't care for racing, isn't it, Paul?
00:29:46It is, rather.
00:29:47I tried to persuade her to come, but she preferred to see the cricket at Lord's.
00:29:50What a crowd there is on the other side of the course.
00:29:52Hmm.
00:29:52One can only be grateful one isn't there.
00:29:54As you'd say so.
00:29:56How is it that Dorothy is not with him today?
00:30:00If she had her way, she wouldn't be with him at all.
00:30:02But her father wants a grand duke in the family.
00:30:08I got you fifty to one.
00:30:09Oh, good.
00:30:10Let's see now.
00:30:10How much have I won?
00:30:11Fifty times fifty?
00:30:13Uh, twenty-five hundred.
00:30:15Not so bad.
00:30:15You haven't won yet.
00:30:17The bookmaker said it was a shame to take your money.
00:30:19I shan't think the same when I take his.
00:30:23They're off!
00:30:25The writer, you like these glasses?
00:30:27No, no, you keep them.
00:30:32Come on, get us, what's happening?
00:30:34Oh, my poor old fellow's a long way behind.
00:30:36Oh, how sad.
00:30:38He's holding his own, though.
00:30:40He's doing more than holding his own.
00:30:43My words, what a jockey!
00:30:46He's piffed!
00:30:49Believe it or not, he's fourth.
00:30:51He's abreast of the third!
00:30:53Oh, bless him!
00:30:55He's a grand fella!
00:30:57He's third!
00:30:58He's...
00:30:58He's second!
00:31:00He's better than second!
00:31:01Oh, my goodness!
00:31:03It's neck and neck!
00:31:04Oh, my goodness!
00:31:06He's neither first nor second.
00:31:07I can't bear it.
00:31:08Take the glasses and tell me what the numbers are.
00:31:09Take it.
00:31:10Eleven, nine...
00:31:11He's won!
00:31:13Three!
00:31:14Come on, and gather to me, gather to me,
00:31:17Come on, and gather to me!
00:31:19Come on, and gather to me!
00:31:20Come on, and gather to me!
00:31:21Come on, and gather to me!
00:31:22Oh, I must kiss somebody!
00:31:24Just...
00:31:24Susan, I will have a joke for you.
00:31:26Willie, how marvelous!
00:31:27Oh, how right I must come home,
00:31:29and you get five thunders in the morning.
00:31:30No!
00:31:31Now, that would be a great lesson to both of you.
00:31:33We're never in trouble, come to Willie.
00:31:34Well, I said to Michelle...
00:31:35Oh, good!
00:31:36Come on, give me back this luncheon basket!
00:31:37Oh, nonsense!
00:31:38Hey, you!
00:31:39Yes?
00:31:39Uh, will you do something for me?
00:31:41Sure!
00:31:44Uh, would you keep an eye on that luncheon basket
00:31:46until I come to the Dardate next year?
00:31:48Huh?
00:31:49And in case you get bored, have a drink!
00:31:51Thank you, sir!
00:31:53Come on!
00:31:54Oh, my God!
00:31:55Oh, my God!
00:31:56Oh, my God!
00:31:56Oh, my God!
00:31:58Oh, my God!
00:31:58Oh, my God!
00:31:59Oh, my God!
00:32:00Oh, my God!
00:32:01Oh, my God!
00:32:04Oh, my God!
00:32:04Oh, my God!
00:32:06Oh, my God!
00:32:08Oh, my God!
00:32:09Oh, my God!
00:32:18Oh, my God!
00:32:23Oh, my God!
00:32:25Oh, my God!
00:32:29Oh, my God!
00:32:30Oh, my God!
00:32:30Oh, my God!
00:32:31Oh, my God!
00:32:31Oh, my God!
00:32:31Oh, my God!
00:32:33Oh, my God!
00:32:34Oh, my God!
00:32:34Oh, my God!
00:32:35Oh, my God!
00:32:38Oh, my God!
00:32:47You silly thing.
00:32:49The room is gone and gathers to me, gathers to me, gathers to me.
00:32:54The room is gone and gathers to me, gathers to me, gathers to me.
00:32:59Ah, Dorothy.
00:33:00Oh, hello.
00:33:02Did you enjoy the cricket?
00:33:05Oh, I didn't go.
00:33:06Oh, barely.
00:33:08Just, uh, stayed at home.
00:33:10No, I went to the derby.
00:33:12Oh?
00:33:12Oh, not your side of the course.
00:33:14The other.
00:33:15With whom did you go?
00:33:17With Susan and her brother.
00:33:19Having refused to go with me, you went with that man.
00:33:22What do you mean by that man?
00:33:24Dorothy!
00:33:25What were you doing in that car with that fellow Hale this afternoon?
00:33:28She was coming back from the derby with him.
00:33:30You went with him and refused to go with Paul?
00:33:32It was purely accidental.
00:33:33I hope you'll avoid a similar accident.
00:33:35I disapprove of it.
00:33:36But he's charming.
00:33:38I don't wish you to know him.
00:33:39You don't?
00:33:40Well, I like him enormously.
00:33:42And I think I ought to tell you, I've had a card sent to him for our party tonight.
00:33:46Eh?
00:33:47You've asked him here?
00:33:48You had no right to do this, Dorothy.
00:33:50I'm much inclined to send him a note cancelling it.
00:33:52Well, let me tell you.
00:33:53If you do, I shan't be here.
00:33:55Have you lost your senses?
00:33:56I mean it.
00:33:57How dare you suggest such a thing?
00:33:59A perfectly charming man.
00:34:01Dorothy, please.
00:34:02Oh, leave me alone.
00:34:08Mr. Hale is on the telephone, miss.
00:34:11Hello, Willie.
00:34:13Mary.
00:34:14Yes.
00:34:15How are you, darling?
00:34:18Everything all right at home?
00:34:20Good.
00:34:21I rang you up about tonight.
00:34:23How about supper?
00:34:25No, no.
00:34:27Come to the apartment.
00:34:28Oh, about midnight.
00:34:32I'll be waiting.
00:34:34So long, darling.
00:34:37Darling.
00:34:39Darling.
00:34:58My word, you're a good dancer.
00:35:00One has to be to dance with you, Willie.
00:35:02Why say, am I so very bad?
00:35:03Oh, but I like it.
00:35:11Well, I wish you to tell you, you're a very thoughtless gentleman.
00:35:13Why?
00:35:14You might have waited until I'd gone away again before you got engaged.
00:35:18Why?
00:35:19We can't go to any more races.
00:35:20No more swings.
00:35:22Very thoughtless of you.
00:35:24There's always Liverpool, though.
00:35:29Well, that's funny.
00:35:31Oh, I know all about her.
00:35:32I even know who she is.
00:35:33Well, well, well.
00:35:34Does she like swings?
00:35:36Well, I haven't asked her, but I don't think she would.
00:35:38You must teach you to like them.
00:35:39Oh, you can't teach people to like swings.
00:35:41Either you like them or you don't.
00:35:43I adore them.
00:35:45So do I.
00:35:47But you know why?
00:35:48Tell me.
00:35:50We're tramps.
00:35:51Willie, I believe you're right.
00:35:53Willie is always right.
00:35:55Shall we?
00:35:56Yeah.
00:35:58Yeah.
00:36:02Yeah.
00:36:03Yeah.
00:36:04I tell you, she's infatuated with the fellow.
00:36:06Oh, nonsense.
00:36:07She's only trying to make you jealous.
00:36:09There.
00:36:10There they go into the garden together.
00:36:12How would they be thinking of her other guests?
00:36:15You'd better go and fetch her.
00:36:29When are you going away again?
00:36:31Oh, I never know.
00:36:32That's the fun.
00:36:33Perhaps tomorrow, perhaps a year.
00:36:35Where are you going this time?
00:36:36Well, I think I'm going to get my father to buy me a sheep farm in New Zealand.
00:36:40Why?
00:36:42I don't sleep very well.
00:36:43And I can count the sheep going through the gates.
00:36:47What a fool you are.
00:36:50By Jove.
00:36:53What is it?
00:36:55I wonder what sheep do when they can't sleep.
00:36:59Dorothy.
00:37:00I've been looking for you everywhere.
00:37:01I do think your behavior is a little strange.
00:37:05Believe me, it's entirely my fault.
00:37:06I'm terribly sorry.
00:37:07I apologize.
00:37:08I wasn't talking to you.
00:37:10Paul.
00:37:12I'm sorry.
00:37:34I say, something's happened.
00:37:36Did you see her face?
00:37:37A lover's tipple, Fred.
00:37:38If I thought that Dorothy had got that Russian's number, I'd drink her father's champagne until
00:37:43you had to carry me home.
00:37:47I'm very sorry, Dorothy, but...
00:37:48You will apologize to Mr. Hale.
00:37:50That cad?
00:37:51Nothing would induce me.
00:37:52How dare you call a man you don't even know?
00:37:54Everyone who knows him says he is.
00:37:56Besides, what man but a cad would have taken you from the ballroom, making me look the greatest
00:37:59fool imaginable?
00:38:00It was I who made you look the fool.
00:38:02I took him from the ballroom.
00:38:05You took him?
00:38:06Do you like him?
00:38:07Enormously.
00:38:08Here.
00:38:09He made love to you.
00:38:10He has the distinction of being one of the few men I've ever known who hasn't.
00:38:15In any case, I must insist on you on never speaking to him again.
00:38:18Are you serious?
00:38:19Yes.
00:38:20I must ask you from tonight not to know him.
00:38:22Really?
00:38:23As I propose to know all the people like him I can, you'll find the responsibility
00:38:27of me too great.
00:38:30Dorothy, you don't mean this.
00:38:31I never meant anything more.
00:38:32Oh, my dear, you're angry now.
00:38:33Later on you'll think yes, but please, please don't do anything so stupid.
00:38:36You know your father is going to renounce our engagement almost at once.
00:38:38You'll look an awful fool if he does.
00:38:40But...
00:38:40So I should stop him.
00:38:41Dorothy, please.
00:38:42You'll look less of a fool if you say I've faded and gone to bed.
00:38:44But won't you...
00:38:45And to make it even more convincing, I'd suggest a doctor be sent for at once.
00:38:49Dorothy!
00:39:19What's the matter with him?
00:39:21It looks more like an attack of indigestion than a fiancée.
00:39:23Oh, my goodness.
00:39:24Something sensational has happened.
00:39:26I'm sure of it.
00:39:26Perhaps Mrs. Hope slipped on a piece of their linoleum.
00:39:29Oh, yes.
00:39:33Dorothy.
00:39:34Dorothy, dear, it's your mother.
00:39:37Dorothy, I want you to go downstairs.
00:39:42You've been making love to Dorothy.
00:39:44Don't be silly, darling.
00:39:45I met the girl this morning.
00:39:46But she likes you a lot.
00:39:48I wish you'd taken her away from that fellow, willie.
00:39:51Well, even if I could and I can't, I wouldn't.
00:39:53Why not?
00:39:54Well, she's...
00:39:56She's too nice for one thing.
00:39:58And too rich for another.
00:39:59I say, Susan, would you mind if I left you here?
00:40:02Where are you going?
00:40:03Um, places.
00:40:05Not never fool, I trust.
00:40:08Yes, and I'm only just tired.
00:40:10So long, darling.
00:40:12Nothing will induce her to come down.
00:40:14What...
00:40:15What can we do?
00:40:16No, we'll tell everyone she's, uh, overtired and astrayed.
00:40:20I should have kicked the fellow out.
00:40:22I have a much more effective way of dealing with that, dear.
00:40:26Now, leave it to me.
00:40:28I'll undertake that Dorothy will be much more reasonable in the morning.
00:40:32Oh.
00:40:39Willie.
00:40:40What on earth's the matter with you?
00:40:42Uh, sorry, darling.
00:40:43Nothing, nothing.
00:40:44Darling, you're hundreds of miles away.
00:40:47Now, I, uh, I've got a headache.
00:40:50I'm sorry.
00:40:52Why didn't you tell me?
00:40:53Oh, it's all right now.
00:40:57Not fed up with me, are you?
00:40:58Why, of course not.
00:41:01Well, you might say it with a little more enthusiasm, Willie, dear.
00:41:05Well, don't be silly, darling.
00:41:05Have a sweet.
00:41:07I have one.
00:41:08And I adore him.
00:41:11I'd shoot anyone who tried to take you from me, Willie.
00:41:15Are you a good shot?
00:41:17Ah.
00:41:25Susan.
00:41:44Uh, sorry, Susan, I, um, I came to borrow your nail scissors.
00:41:48Did you find them?
00:41:49Yes.
00:41:50Clever of you.
00:41:52They're in the next room.
00:41:54Oh.
00:41:55I do wish you wouldn't throw my photographs about.
00:42:00Pretty, isn't she?
00:42:01Yes.
00:42:02And thanks to you, free.
00:42:05Well, I had nothing to do with it.
00:42:06So hadn't you.
00:42:07Certainly not.
00:42:09Well, she adores you.
00:42:10Ah, pssh.
00:42:13Ah, here you are.
00:42:14A messenger just brought this letter for you.
00:42:17It's from Hope.
00:42:18Dorothy's father?
00:42:19Yes.
00:42:20What, what's that old jumped up lignolium maker want with you?
00:42:25He says he wants to see me at two o'clock this afternoon.
00:42:27Matter of the utmost importance.
00:42:29Congratulations.
00:42:31What do you mean?
00:42:32Don't, don't stand any nonsense from that old bully.
00:42:35If he tries to be stingy with you, put him in his place.
00:42:39Do you know what you're talking about?
00:42:41Oh, ho, ho, ho.
00:42:41Hark at the blackguard trying to help bug us.
00:42:44Oh, ho, ho.
00:42:45You, you played your cards marvelously.
00:42:47Oh.
00:42:49You are one of the worst characters I've ever met.
00:42:51I'll put you over my name and spank you if you talk to me like that, you smug little...
00:42:56Susan.
00:42:57Now I know why I'm a bad man.
00:42:59Oh, ho, ho.
00:43:08Mr. William Hale.
00:43:11Mr. Hope.
00:43:13Take a seat, Mr. Hale.
00:43:19As men of the world, you'd like me to come straight to the point.
00:43:23Straight.
00:43:24You have, I understand, since your return to England, been seeing quite a lot of my daughter.
00:43:28Now, sufficient to be able to offer you my sincerest congratulations.
00:43:32Yeah.
00:43:32It may be coincidence, but since knowing you, my daughter has broken off her engagement to a young man
00:43:37from whom I have the highest regard.
00:43:39Oh, how tragic it is that children so seldom do what their parents want them to.
00:43:43My father has the most awful trouble with me.
00:43:46Hmm, so I'm told.
00:43:48Yeah, I thought you had been.
00:43:49So I accuse you of being the cause of that engagement being broken.
00:43:52Oh, my dear sir, you're wrong.
00:43:54It was the other man who was the cause.
00:43:55Who?
00:43:56The fellow she's engaged to.
00:43:57She was in love with him until you arrived.
00:44:00The desire to please a father and mother can hardly be described as love.
00:44:04Oh, so you put that idea in her head.
00:44:06I?
00:44:07What business is it of mine?
00:44:08Because she's a rich girl and you want to marry her yourself.
00:44:11Ah.
00:44:13The men of the world have reached the point.
00:44:15Yes.
00:44:18By no word have I suggested that she should dislike the man you chose for her or like me.
00:44:22You're much too subtle.
00:44:24Mr. Hope, I trust your linoleum is better than your manners.
00:44:26How dare you speak to me like that?
00:44:28Why?
00:44:28Are you ashamed of your linoleum?
00:44:30You, who have failed in everything you've ever touched and in every country in the world.
00:44:34Who have been given chances again and again.
00:44:36And who in the end have nothing to your credit but a reputation as a gambler with other people's money.
00:44:41Oh, that's true.
00:44:42That's terribly true.
00:44:43Why, you've never done an honest day's work in your life.
00:44:46Even your own father has described you as being a curse since the day you were born.
00:44:50Did the old villain say that about me?
00:44:51He did.
00:44:52I'll give him the devil for that when I get home.
00:44:55So, uh, let us conclude the conversation.
00:44:57Good.
00:44:59If my daughter marries you or any man like you, not a single penny of my money will she ever
00:45:04receive.
00:45:07Do you mean that?
00:45:08I swear it, Mr. Hayes.
00:45:10Nothing would persuade you to alter your mind?
00:45:12Nothing, I swear it.
00:45:17This information alters your point of view on marriage considerably, doesn't it, Mr. Hayes?
00:45:21Yes.
00:45:22I can't quite tell you how considerably.
00:45:25It may even mean my going abroad again at once.
00:45:27I should if I were you.
00:45:29Yes.
00:45:31Yes.
00:45:48Uh, where's Miss Dorothy?
00:45:49Miss Dorothy is on the terrace, sir.
00:45:52Would you take me to her?
00:45:53This way, sir.
00:46:05Willie, what are you doing here?
00:46:07I've come to tell you I've only 1,500 pounds in the world and that's through wicked horse racing.
00:46:10What do you mean?
00:46:11And I've been a bad boy all my life.
00:46:13Have you been drinking?
00:46:14And that if I should leave this world tonight, my epitaph should be, he endeavored to leave this world a
00:46:19far worse place than it was before he came into it.
00:46:22What's the matter?
00:46:22And that if I had a daughter like you and I felt a man like me wanted to marry her,
00:46:26I should be as angry as your father is and I should see he never had a penny of my
00:46:30money.
00:46:32Willie, what is the matter with you?
00:46:34Well, don't be a fool, darling.
00:46:35Can't you see I'm proposing marriage to you?
00:46:37Well, what a curious...
00:46:38And should it be in your mind you accept me, your father will cut you off without a penny.
00:46:44And when the 1,500 pounds is gone, it may mean you will be starving in the gutter.
00:46:49I should adore it.
00:46:51And I accept you and all the risks that go with it.
00:47:01You love me?
00:47:02Love you?
00:47:03I've been squinting ever since I met you.
00:47:07So have I.
00:47:08Oh, I'm so happy I have a good mind to...
00:47:11What?
00:47:11To go and give 1,000 pounds to a hospital.
00:47:13You dare?
00:47:15But seriously, Dorothy, after all you've been used to, it's an awful risk.
00:47:19None.
00:47:20I believe in you.
00:47:23Angel, I won't fail you.
00:47:27Before you finally accept, I think you should hear the story of my life.
00:47:30Oh, father has told it to me so often.
00:47:33Corbett's father has only told you the bits he knows.
00:47:36There are lots of bits that have never come out.
00:47:39Can I think you ought to hear them?
00:47:41No.
00:47:45Yes.
00:47:48What about Liverpool?
00:47:51What?
00:47:52Did you love her?
00:47:55I liked her terribly.
00:47:57But you'll never see her again.
00:47:59Only to say goodbye to her.
00:48:00I don't want you to.
00:48:02You must write to her.
00:48:05Oh, but that would be mean.
00:48:06She's been so terribly nice to me often.
00:48:08I don't care.
00:48:08You're not to see her again.
00:48:11Well, but...
00:48:12Very well, if you like her so much.
00:48:16Oh.
00:48:19You...
00:48:20You don't understand.
00:48:21Oh, whether I do or not doesn't matter.
00:48:24I...
00:48:24I've been jealous of her.
00:48:26Hated her ever since I've known you.
00:48:28Oh, if you really love me,
00:48:30you'll never see her again.
00:48:35Very well.
00:48:36You swear it?
00:48:37Yes, but...
00:48:38Do you swear it or not?
00:48:41I swear it.
00:48:42Cross your heart.
00:48:44That's all right.
00:48:47Of course, it would be generous of you if you would.
00:48:50You crossed your heart.
00:48:55Mr. Hale, I thought you'd gone.
00:48:58I stayed behind to ask your daughter
00:48:59if she had any objection to my being your son-in-law.
00:49:02Eh?
00:49:04And I have been doing.
00:49:06It's in your power to make your daughter
00:49:07a very attractive wedding present, Mr. Hale.
00:49:09Being?
00:49:09Being your presence at her wedding.
00:49:13Ring me up later, Willie.
00:49:15Come on.
00:49:17Oh, be nice, please.
00:49:19You little fool.
00:49:21You suggest there can be any happiness for you
00:49:22if you marry this man?
00:49:24I know there will be.
00:49:29Of all the men in the world I don't know,
00:49:31I should like you to be the first to congratulate me.
00:49:39Think of his reputation.
00:49:41In a year, you'll be sharing him with heaven knows how many other women.
00:49:44Oh, you don't know him.
00:49:46Know him?
00:49:47Do you suppose he really believes that I would cut you off without a penny?
00:49:51Perhaps you like him so much,
00:49:52you'd enjoy sharing him with Mary Crail.
00:49:55He's given me his word never to see her again.
00:49:57And you believe him?
00:49:58Absolutely.
00:49:59And if he does see her again,
00:50:00will that convince you that I'm right?
00:50:04Then I should never speak to him again.
00:50:07Very well.
00:50:16George, old fellow, concentrate.
00:50:21Have you ever had to tell a lady who likes you very much
00:50:24and who's always been terribly nice to you
00:50:26that you're never going to see her again?
00:50:28You have?
00:50:30How did you do it?
00:50:32You wrote to him.
00:50:36I suppose that's the best way.
00:50:43My dearest Mary.
00:50:47Well, there's nothing very final about dearest, is there?
00:50:52Mary Darling.
00:50:57Two affections.
00:51:01My dear Mary.
00:51:04Oh, of course it won't do.
00:51:10Well, don't sit there looking like an idiot.
00:51:12Can't you help me start the infernal thing?
00:51:15Is this the Burke Detective Agency?
00:51:17I'm Mr. Hope speaking.
00:51:19I wish you to send me at once
00:51:21the best man you have in the service.
00:51:24Yes.
00:51:24Private work.
00:51:26At once.
00:51:30How about my dear?
00:51:32I know.
00:51:33Don't put anything at all.
00:51:34Just start in without any darlings, dearests, or...
00:51:37Huh?
00:51:38Huh?
00:51:39You're right.
00:51:39It's too crude.
00:51:41What's that?
00:51:43Telephone to her.
00:51:45That's a good idea.
00:51:51Mayfair 2163.
00:51:53I don't know why the devil I didn't think of this way myself.
00:51:57Hello.
00:51:58Hello, Mary.
00:51:59How are you?
00:52:01What's that supper tonight?
00:52:04Oh, I'm terribly sorry.
00:52:05I'm afraid I can't.
00:52:07No, I'm not going anywhere.
00:52:09But when I say I'm not going anywhere,
00:52:10I mean I promise to stay in with my father.
00:52:14Hmm?
00:52:15No, no, no.
00:52:16He does not go to bed at 11.
00:52:19Mary, I want to tell you something.
00:52:22What's that?
00:52:24She says all she wants to hear is that I adore her.
00:52:27How can I say I don't over a telephone?
00:52:31Who's a coward?
00:52:34Hello, hello.
00:52:36Mary, did they cut us off?
00:52:38Uh, listen, Mary, darling.
00:52:39Really...
00:52:40Oh, I shouldn't have called her darling.
00:52:43Well, here goes.
00:52:46Hello, Mary.
00:52:48Mary, I...
00:52:49I want to tell you something.
00:52:51I...
00:52:53I want to tell you
00:52:54that I'll have to ring you up again later.
00:52:57My father's just sent for me.
00:53:03Yes, I know I am.
00:53:07But you try and tell a girl as nice as Mary Crail
00:53:09that you don't like her anymore
00:53:10and see how you like it.
00:53:13Well, George, what do we do now, eh?
00:53:17Go and see her.
00:53:18No, I'm not allowed to.
00:53:21Meet her accidentally and tell her on the street.
00:53:23That's not a bad idea.
00:53:27No one could say a word against that, surely.
00:53:29That's playing the game, isn't it?
00:53:34Good night, girls.
00:53:35Good night, Miss Jane.
00:53:38Mary.
00:53:39Willie, dear!
00:53:40What a divine surprise.
00:53:42Jump in my car.
00:53:43Well, Mary, I'm afraid I can't.
00:53:44I've got to tell you something.
00:53:45Oh, how solemn you are.
00:53:46Don't be a fool.
00:53:47Jump in.
00:53:48I can't, Mary.
00:53:49It's no good.
00:53:49I can't go.
00:53:50Oh, my dear, you can't keep me hanging about streets.
00:53:52But, Mary...
00:53:53Will you please get in?
00:53:55No, I...
00:53:55Yes.
00:53:57Hold.
00:54:09The hotel's 17 Barclay Square.
00:54:11As fast as you can go.
00:54:12All right, sir.
00:54:17Sit down.
00:54:22Willie!
00:54:24You frighten me.
00:54:25What is it you wanted to say to me?
00:54:28I've come to say goodbye.
00:54:31Don't be absurd.
00:54:35Robert, you want me?
00:54:36Oh, yes, dear.
00:54:37Come in.
00:54:38Wait for me in the hall.
00:54:39Yes, sir.
00:54:44Dorothy, you told me if Mr. Hale ever spoke to that girl again,
00:54:47that would be the end as far as you're concerned.
00:54:50Yes.
00:54:51Why do you ask me this?
00:54:52He's with her now.
00:54:54Oh, I...
00:54:55I don't believe you.
00:54:57Nothing would make me believe you.
00:54:58Then ring up our house.
00:55:00Mayfair 2163 and ask to speak to him.
00:55:02I simply don't believe you.
00:55:04Are you frightened to?
00:55:06No.
00:55:06Listen.
00:55:07If he's not there, I'll consent to your marriage.
00:55:10That's fair, isn't it?
00:55:19Mayfair 2163.
00:55:22So you like someone else?
00:55:25Terribly.
00:55:27Really?
00:55:28And you're going to marry her?
00:55:31Yes.
00:55:32You mean, I shall see you again?
00:55:34This is the last time.
00:55:36Oh, Mary, I'm terribly sorry, but it's so much better to be frank.
00:55:39I can't cheat you.
00:55:41I couldn't even let someone else tell you, hating telling you as I do.
00:55:46Answer that, please.
00:55:50Hello.
00:55:52Yes, who is it?
00:55:55Dorothy!
00:56:03Dorothy!
00:56:26So that's over to you.
00:56:31Honey, how little time.
00:56:32Everything lasts in my life, even being engaged to a marriage.
00:56:37Cheer up, Willie.
00:56:39There's nothing one can't recover from.
00:56:43Good night, Mary.
00:56:49Why wouldn't you listen to me when I told you what sort of a man he was?
00:56:53Oh, I couldn't believe it.
00:56:56Don't take it too seriously, my dear.
00:56:59In a little while, you won't.
00:57:04Well, will you do something for me?
00:57:07Why, anything in the world.
00:57:08Will you put 5,000 pounds into my bank?
00:57:11Why, of course.
00:57:13I'll attain to it first thing in the morning.
00:57:17May I ask what you want it for?
00:57:20Compared to what I might have had to pay,
00:57:23my experience will cost me very little.
00:57:34Tell her it's a matter of the, of the utmost importance, will you?
00:57:49Dorothy!
00:57:52My dear, please, I...
00:57:53Won't you sit down?
00:57:56Oh, I know you must be angry, disappointed, but...
00:58:00Go on.
00:58:02For heaven's sake, don't look at me as if I were trying to sell you a gramophone.
00:58:05I'm in no hurry.
00:58:06I suppose in time you'll tell me why you're here.
00:58:09But don't you realize the bad luck of it?
00:58:10I only went to...
00:58:11To see that woman, having promised me you wouldn't.
00:58:14Will you believe me if I tell you if I...
00:58:15I know.
00:58:16Why did I go?
00:58:17Because you're in love with her.
00:58:18Why not have the courage to ask for money instead of cheating for it?
00:58:23But you don't seriously imagine that I wanted your money, do you?
00:58:29What else did you want?
00:58:49What's this for?
00:58:50I believe one should pay for experience.
00:58:53For an expert, I admit you are being very underpaid.
00:58:58Did you...
00:59:00Did you treat the Grand Duke Paul as generously?
00:59:03I'd have insulted him by even offering it to him.
00:59:07I see.
00:59:11Five thousand pounds.
00:59:14Well, it's not very much, of course, but...
00:59:16But times are hard for all of us.
00:59:18So one must be grateful, I suppose.
00:59:21Goodbye.
00:59:39One thousand.
00:59:40Two.
00:59:41Three.
00:59:42Four.
00:59:43Five.
00:59:44Five thousand pounds, sir.
00:59:59Whiskey and soda.
01:00:00Yes, sir.
01:00:01Hello, young Hale.
01:00:03Glad to see you.
01:00:03Hello.
01:00:16You want a thousand pounds?
01:00:18I should think I did.
01:00:20Now, what's the idea?
01:00:21Go on.
01:00:21Pick the one you like best.
01:00:25What's the matter with you?
01:00:26Can you recommend a charity, a vulgar one for preference?
01:00:28We'll be glad of them.
01:00:29Did you steal them?
01:00:31They're burning me.
01:00:33Well, name any charity you like.
01:00:34We'll have them in five minutes.
01:00:35I know a friend of yours who'll be glad of them.
01:00:37Oh.
01:00:38The Grand Duke Paul.
01:00:40His creditors, believing he was going to marry Dorothy, kept quiet.
01:00:43And now that you've knocked him out, they're playing the devil with him.
01:00:47I'm told the poor devil hasn't even money for a meal.
01:00:57Forever I'm your friend.
01:01:04Would you send a messenger at once?
01:01:06Yes, sir.
01:01:12What are you doing tonight?
01:01:14Nothing.
01:01:15Good.
01:01:15Let's dine together and talk about life.
01:01:21Yes.
01:01:23Yes.
01:01:24All right.
01:01:29Dorothy, your friend Hagel cashed your check at ten o'clock this morning.
01:01:34What?
01:01:35It's unbelievable.
01:01:36The bank confirmed it.
01:01:38And Miss Mary Crail, the famous actress, left for the south of France by the first boat train.
01:01:45Do you mean that?
01:01:46I mean, obviously, he's gone with her and you're paying all the expenses.
01:01:50Oh.
01:01:50I never believed you would ever, apart from anything else, have been so incredibly stupid.
01:01:58I super thought.
01:01:59A bitter lesson for you, my dear.
01:02:02But in time, you'll be grateful for it.
01:02:05Come in.
01:02:09Miss Dorothy.
01:02:12Why, it's from Paul.
01:02:14I wonder what he wants.
01:02:15You read it.
01:02:16I'm tired.
01:02:22Dearest Dorothy, your charming thought I will forever treasure.
01:02:27Your sympathetic understanding of my difficulties has touched me very much.
01:02:31Through your kindness in sending me the 5,000 pounds, I'm able to leave for home via Paris tonight.
01:02:38Would you please believe I shall never forget your kindness ever gratefully Paul.
01:02:42Oh, let me see it.
01:02:44Your kindness in sending me 5,000 pounds.
01:02:54Why, what does that mean?
01:02:56Mean?
01:02:57Why, it means that your villain Hale cashed my check, put the notes in an envelope and sent them to
01:03:03Paul from me.
01:03:04And Paul took them.
01:03:05What a glorious idea.
01:03:07Oh, this is the most terrible disillusionment I have ever looked.
01:03:16Oh, I sympathize.
01:03:18A bitter lesson for you, Father dear.
01:03:21But in time, you'll be grateful for it.
01:03:24Oh.
01:03:27Oh.
01:03:30Oh.
01:03:31Oh.
01:03:32You don't really believe Willie's gone to Paris with her, do you?
01:03:35I'll never believe in anything again if he hasn't.
01:03:39Come in.
01:03:42Yes?
01:03:43The man from the detective agency is here, sir.
01:03:45Oh, show him in.
01:03:46This way, please.
01:03:49Well?
01:03:50Mr. Hale left his house early this morning and went straight to a bank, sir.
01:03:53From there he went to his club.
01:03:55And from there to a shipping office.
01:03:56A shipping office?
01:03:57Yes, sir.
01:03:58Where he booked two tickets for New Zealand.
01:03:59Two!
01:04:01Two.
01:04:02One for a dog.
01:04:04Oh.
01:04:05Oh.
01:04:06Well, I won't need you anymore.
01:04:08See my secretary.
01:04:09Thank you, sir.
01:04:12Paul's a crook.
01:04:13Mary Crayle's gone to Paris.
01:04:15Willie Hale's going to New Zealand.
01:04:18What are you going to do?
01:04:20Gravel.
01:04:22Crawl about after him on my hands and knees until he promises to take me with him.
01:04:25And if he refuses?
01:04:27Then you'll have to do something about it.
01:04:31He doesn't like me.
01:04:36I tell you you're a liar.
01:04:38I say you've had a row with her.
01:04:40I have not.
01:04:41Well, then what do you want to go to New Zealand for?
01:04:45Because if I ever want to go to Australia, I'll be near.
01:04:49Well, don't look to me for any more money.
01:04:52If you make a mess of it, it's the 11th time.
01:04:56I'm going to be such a good boy, you'll hate me.
01:04:59You, you're a good boy.
01:05:01Well, I do think his father's getting old and he doesn't want...
01:05:03Not so much of the old.
01:05:05He doesn't want you to go.
01:05:06You might be nice and stay in England.
01:05:08No.
01:05:09Well, then go to the devil.
01:05:11I'm bored with going so often.
01:05:15Oh, hello, everybody.
01:05:17Well, Dorothy.
01:05:20Hello, Willie.
01:05:21You're just the very girl I wanted to see.
01:05:24This fella, this fella says he's going to New Zealand.
01:05:28Really?
01:05:29Father, darling, I want to show you the housekeeping books.
01:05:31I don't want to see the housekeeping books.
01:05:33Father.
01:05:33I hate the sight of them.
01:05:35I...
01:05:36Oh, yes.
01:05:39Well...
01:06:02Excuse me.
01:06:03My coat?
01:06:04Oh.
01:06:13May I ask what you're doing here?
01:06:16Well, I...
01:06:17I've come to tell you that...
01:06:20That I've forgiven you for the way you've behaved to me.
01:06:24You?
01:06:25You've forgiven me?
01:06:26Yes.
01:06:27Don't you think it's sweet of me?
01:06:29Well, I shall explode in a minute.
01:06:31And leave that dog alone.
01:06:33I'm sorry.
01:06:34You accuse me of the foulest thing in the world.
01:06:36You insult me by giving me 5,000 pounds and then say that you've forgiven me.
01:06:41I'm almost laughing, I'm so angry.
01:06:43Well, what was I to think?
01:06:45You promised me.
01:06:46You crossed your heart to never see her again.
01:06:49Oh, Willie, how could you?
01:06:51How?
01:06:53You are...
01:06:55Supposing I were married to you when a girl came along and said,
01:06:57Willie, let's run away.
01:06:58And I said, right, you are.
01:06:59Just pop over and tell Dorothy.
01:07:00And she said, no, you don't.
01:07:01And the first time you knew about it was when you read it in the papers,
01:07:02what would you think of me?
01:07:04Is that likely to happen if I married you?
01:07:06Yes, it is.
01:07:07Well, what a caddish thing to say to a girl you're only engaged to.
01:07:12I'm not.
01:07:13And what do you mean by walking into a man's bedroom without nothing?
01:07:17I thought perhaps coming events cast their shadows.
01:07:21Well, they don't.
01:07:22And please leave me.
01:07:23I'm very busy packing.
01:07:26What are you going to do when you get to New Zealand, Willie?
01:07:30Marry.
01:07:31Oh, nothing would induce father to let me go with you under those conditions.
01:07:35That's funny.
01:07:35I had no intention of asking you.
01:07:37Oh, he's so old-fashioned.
01:07:38He'll insist upon our being married before we start.
01:07:41You don't seriously imagine that after the way you've insulted me that I'd marry you,
01:07:45do you?
01:07:46You'd be an awful fool if you didn't.
01:07:47Why?
01:07:49I'm pretty, very companionable, and in every way suited to be a poor man's wife.
01:07:55Kiss me, Willie.
01:07:58Nothing would induce me to.
01:07:59How much longer are you going on with this strongman business?
01:08:02For years and years and years.
01:08:05Will you kiss me at once?
01:08:06Leave me alone.
01:08:07I'll not be bullied enough.
01:08:08The way you behaved...
01:08:08Oh, shut up about the way I've behaved.
01:08:11Think of some of the things you've done in your life.
01:08:14Besides, I was hurt, jealous, miserable.
01:08:19And if you ever do anything like that again, I'll hit you over the head with a bottle.
01:08:23You wouldn't.
01:08:23I would.
01:08:25I've been looking for a girl like you for the last ten years.
01:08:32May I ask what you're laughing at?
01:08:35Doris' father's, Doris says.
01:08:37He doesn't want you to go to New Zealand.
01:08:39He wants to lend you the money to buy a farm in England.
01:08:45May I ask what there is to laugh at in there?
01:08:47Oh, nothing.
01:08:48Nothing, only...
01:08:49Only next time you go broke, it'll be his furniture you're selling.
01:08:53And not mine.
01:09:00Dorothy, don't you pay any attention to that wicked old man.
01:09:04I won't.
