01:15.
01:26You are a fool.
01:31Having a good time, Mickey?
01:33.
01:35.
01:36I want you to have a good time, always.
01:39Always.
01:40Why, the two anthroponies, Edward.
01:42You can see just as well in the one and sixpenies.
01:45Well, I just thought that it'd be simple.
01:46No, Edward, darling, that's just what you don't do.
01:49Think.
01:51Money doesn't grow on trees, you know.
01:53Not the man.
01:55The farther back, the better, I say.
02:07The one and sixpenies would have been just as good.
02:27And I know where Moonlight's built in here.
02:35All right.
02:45All right, Edward.
02:48Come on, Edward.
02:48Finally.
02:56I don't know how Herbert can afford a motorbike.
03:00He works in the same office as you.
03:01HP.
03:03Typical.
03:04Oh, but more than a lot of people get things on high purchase.
03:06A lot of people doing something silly doesn't make it sensible.
03:09No.
03:11Life isn't like the cinema, Edward.
03:13No.
03:15Bill knew the moment was his.
03:19Deftly, he steered the car into the shadow of the trees.
03:24As the throb of the engine died away,
03:27he turned and masterfully crushed the Marchesa to his breast.
03:33With a deep sigh, she yielded her lips in such a kiss as he had never dreamed of.
03:57Herbert.
03:58Huh?
04:01What do you think of Maud?
04:05Very pretty.
04:06Yeah.
04:06Maud to glamoroso.
04:07Yeah.
04:08I mean, really.
04:10Well, she does sort of jump in a manner a bit.
04:13Meaning?
04:14Well, you know.
04:15Yes.
04:16She does a bit, doesn't she?
04:18Very pretty.
04:19And to see you two dance at the palais.
04:22All we clodhoppers just stop and stare.
04:25Absolutely ripping syncopation.
04:29She'll make you a marvellous wife.
04:31Look, help me with this before we have to go back to that dreary office.
04:36I ask you, who'd be a stockbroker?
04:38We would give her half a chance.
04:42Yeah.
04:43Anyway.
04:45Arrange the following girls' names in order of popularity.
04:49Oh, gosh.
04:49How are we expected to know that?
04:52Well, if I were you, I'd write them down in the reverse order of the way you think they ought
04:57to go.
04:58And then pray.
05:00I don't see Maud down there.
05:02Oh, that's very funny.
05:04Elizabeth.
05:06Margaret.
05:06Herbert.
05:07Why does it know?
05:09You don't think it's true, do you?
05:12I don't think what's true.
05:14That girls turn out to be like their mothers.
05:20And how was the dancing last night?
05:22Not too bad.
05:24But they're putting up the price of admission next month.
05:27Well, I think I can afford it.
05:28I think we should make a stand.
05:30If we make a stand, we won't be able to dance, will we?
05:35More dear.
05:37Would you go and put the kettle on?
05:38We shall be wanting our tea soon.
05:40Yes, mother, of course.
05:47Now, Edward.
05:49Now Maud's out of the room.
05:51I've simply got to know, what exactly are your intentions?
05:57Intentions?
05:57Intentions, Mrs. Livinglow?
05:59About what?
06:00Your intentions towards Maud, of course.
06:03But Mrs. Livinglow were engaged.
06:07To be married.
06:08So you say, Edward.
06:09And so Maud says.
06:11And yet I don't see an engagement ring on her finger.
06:16Oh, that.
06:17Well...
06:18Is it that you can't afford it?
06:19Oh, no.
06:19No, no, no.
06:20Uh...
06:21It's just that I...
06:23I...
06:23I haven't got around to it yet.
06:26You must understand, Edward, that if...
06:30Don't clutch the wool, dear.
06:32Sorry.
06:33Sorry.
06:34You must understand that if Mr. Livinglow were alive,
06:37he would be the one asking these questions.
06:40Oh, I...
06:40I do understand.
06:41But the fact is that Maud's always going on about being careful with money.
06:45And I must say that I agree...
06:46The fact is, Edward, that my daughter is engaged to be married
06:51and yet has no ring on her finger to...
06:54Well, how shall I put it?
06:55I won't say to advertise the fact, but...
06:58to cement the relationship.
07:00I'll take care of it tomorrow, Mrs. Livinglow.
07:03Promise.
07:04There's a good boy.
07:05All right.
07:08Ed.
07:11It's beautiful.
07:14Very good taste, but...
07:16But what?
07:19It must have cost a small fortune.
07:22Well, you wouldn't want a cheap engagement ring, would you?
07:24No, darling, of course not.
07:25I'm going to have a good job on the stock exchange.
07:26You're still only a red button.
07:27Yes, but there'll actually be a blue button next year.
07:29Yes, darling, I know all that.
07:32But it just doesn't do to be...
07:35Extravagant.
07:38You mean you want me to change it for something cheaper?
07:41I really wouldn't mind.
07:43I mean, I wouldn't want to feel guilty wearing it.
07:49Well...
07:51As a matter of fact, I was hoping we could have a short engagement.
07:54How short?
07:56I'd like us to be married early next year.
07:59Oh, Edward.
08:00That is sweet of you.
08:03But don't you think it would be more prudent to wait a bit longer?
08:07Why?
08:08We've already been engaged for three months.
08:10Yes, darling, I know that, but...
08:12Well, I know you're going to be a success.
08:15You'll probably be a partner in ten years.
08:18Ten years?
08:19But at the moment, your salary isn't that large.
08:26You know, sometimes I wonder whether you want to marry me at all.
08:29What?
08:30Or that you even love me.
08:31Edward, darling, you're just being silly.
08:36Because I try to be practical doesn't mean I don't love you.
08:40It could mean I love you more than you think.
08:44You see...
08:46You're a bit of a dreamer, aren't you, darling?
08:51Am I?
08:53All I'm saying is let's wait a bit till we marry.
08:56You'll see I'm right.
09:02Well, it's up to you, Maud, of course.
09:06And all right, I'll change the ring.
09:10Five hundred pounds?
09:12First prize.
09:13What for?
09:14That competition.
09:15You remember? Arrange the girls' names.
09:17Yes, yes.
09:17Well, I did what you said, and I won it.
09:19I've been bursting to tell you all morning,
09:21but old eyebrows never took his eyes off us.
09:26I see!
09:28Five hundred jolly old pounds!
09:31You're rich!
09:33I'm rich.
09:36Maud will marry you pronto now.
09:39Yes.
09:39Tell her you're invested in a gill-edged or conversion loan
09:42and she'll love you to distraction.
09:44She'll collapse in your arms.
09:45Yes, of course.
09:46A little nest egg for the future.
09:48Yes, I...
09:49I realise that's the sensible thing to do.
09:52Well, that's the greatest thing to do.
10:00Yes.
10:01Well, thank you very much.
10:02I'm sure the day that you are now.
10:04I believe you're too much for me.
10:10And they always do...
10:12Well, yes.
10:12Yes, very morning.
10:15Yes.
10:21Thank you very much.
10:22She is the loveliest thing.
10:29What does Maud think about it?
10:31Well, actually, yeah.
10:34I haven't told her yet.
10:36What?
10:38Oh, my God.
10:40Just wait till she finds out.
10:44Well, I...
10:47I have to learn to drive it first.
10:50Get in.
10:56Strangler, switch on, starter.
10:59Clutch, gears, handbrake, throttle.
11:02What?
11:03Strangler, switch on, starter.
11:08Clutch, gears, handbrake, throttle.
11:13Strangler, switch on, starter.
11:21Clutch, handbrake, throttle.
11:30Clutch, handbrake, throttle.
12:01The moment has come, Edward, to tell you that there's more than one gear.
12:06But I don't understand.
12:08Again?
12:09It's the New York Stock Exchange, you see.
12:12It's still not tickety-boo.
12:14And with Christmas...
12:26Splendid.
12:27You're getting better every day.
12:30Now it's time to learn reverse.
12:34You mean...
12:35It goes backwards?
12:42I wish I knew why you were behaving like this.
12:45I'm trying to explain, Lord.
12:47It's the Cantangos in Settle one day.
12:49There's a lot of...
12:53There's still no one else in that office who can take any responsibility, Edward.
13:11You see?
13:12Driving is just a matter of confidence.
13:15Experience.
13:15Well, thanks very much for helping, Herbert.
13:18It's a pleasure.
13:19So, when are you going to tell her?
13:21Her?
13:22Maud, I mean.
13:23Maud, yes.
13:24Well, I thought I'd tell her after Christmas.
13:27You mean you won't be going away?
13:29Away?
13:29Well, why should I?
13:30Well, a spanking new car, a nice long holiday, and you're gonna loll around in Maud's place,
13:35with mother in attendance.
13:36Yes.
13:37Well, I did say I'd spend Christmas with them.
13:40Oh, well.
13:43Chocon à son goût.
13:45Why?
13:46What would you do?
13:48Well, to start with, if I had a car like this, I'd ask Millie to come down to Brighton.
13:53Yes.
13:53And if she refused?
13:55I'd take off by myself.
13:57Spend the evening at Sherry's.
14:00And what happens there?
14:02What doesn't happen there?
14:04Dancing.
14:05You'd like that?
14:06Big bands.
14:07Really?
14:08And there's always more mares than stallions.
14:11Expensive?
14:12It's one and six at the door.
14:14Now, you take a look around.
14:15You pick your partner.
14:17It'll cost you a drink or two.
14:18Is it a small port and lemon or a shandy gaff?
14:21And, on the way back, cut over to Horsham and Dorking.
14:25Beetle up the Kingston Bypass.
14:27And stop for breakfast at the Ace of Spades.
14:31As scarcely a girl you wouldn't have in the hollow of your hand.
14:36Well, thanks for your advice, Herbert, but I shall have to spend Christmas with Maud.
14:41I can't let her down.
14:43Well, it's up to you, old boy.
14:48My motto is, gather you rosebuds while you may.
14:58But you always spend Christmas with us.
15:00That's right.
15:02I know.
15:02And I'm sorry.
15:03But, you see, it's this pal of mine.
15:06Which pal?
15:07You've met him, Maud, at the Flicks first with Millie, Herbert Maynard.
15:10Oh, yes.
15:11I remember him.
15:12Rather shallow, I thought.
15:13Didn't he come here to tea once?
15:15Yes, that's right.
15:16We worked together in the city.
15:17As for her.
15:19And what has he to do with Christmas?
15:22Well, you see, he spends it in the country.
15:25Why?
15:26Does he live in the country?
15:28No.
15:29But his parents do in Surrey.
15:31And so, of course, he spends Christmas with them.
15:33That's right, Mrs Livinglow.
15:35And I've been asked.
15:37Well, that's very kind of one.
15:38I thought so.
15:39But what's that to do with your not spending Christmas with your fiancé?
15:42And her mother.
15:44Well, I promised, you see.
15:47Why?
15:49Because...
15:55Herbert's father is almost blind.
15:58And?
16:00And?
16:03His mother is a cripple.
16:05He feels she can't cope.
16:06How could you help?
16:11Christmas tree.
16:12Holly.
16:13Plum pudding.
16:13That sort of thing.
16:15I mean, I promised.
16:17Well, you can't let a pal down.
16:18Well, I find it very odd.
16:21First you hardly come to see me all this.
16:23I've already explained that, Maud.
16:25I've been kept late at the office every night.
16:26Well, it's not for me to interfere, of course.
16:28But I'm surprised you find your pal, as you call him,
16:32more important than your affiance.
16:37Well, I can't go back on my word now, but...
16:40I'll be here Boxing Day, if all goes well.
16:44Sorry.
16:51Well.
16:53Well.
16:56Tell me, dear.
16:58This cheaper engagement ring he was buying, has he given it to you yet?
17:02No.
17:04No, Mother, he hasn't.
17:07I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
17:09No, Mother?
17:10No.
17:12Oh!
17:13Oh!
17:15Oh, come all ye faithful!
17:18Joyful and triumphal!
17:21Oh!
17:21Oh, come all ye...
17:24Oh!
17:26Oh!
17:27Buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh.
17:30Hmm.
17:31Doot doot doot doot doot doot.
21:26I'd like it soon.
21:49Oh, God, it's only just 9 o'clock.
22:15Are you there, Mother?
22:16Yes, dear.
22:17I'll go.
22:19Not too much, just a few pence.
22:28You'll never guess who's passing the hat.
22:31Who?
22:32I asked him to come in.
22:34Come in.
22:38Merry Christmas, Maud.
22:40You!
22:41Was something the matter?
22:43Oh, no. Nothing important.
22:45We picked you home specially. I thought Edward would be here.
22:48Tell me, Mr...
22:49Maynard.
22:50Tell me, Mr Maynard, do your family live in the country?
22:55Yes, but I don't.
22:56Where, exactly? Surrey?
23:00No, Aberdeen.
23:02And your father? Is he blind?
23:05Well, no. Not all the time.
23:08And your mother a cripple?
23:10Good heavens, no. She's the lady's culling champion of the Eastern Highlands.
23:14I see, what's this all about?
23:16Oh, no. It's as Maud said, it's nothing important.
23:23Right.
23:25Then I'll be on my way culling.
23:27A little something for those less fortunate than ourselves.
23:32Give him sixpence, Mother.
23:33Oh, look at that.
23:35Hello, very Christmas.
23:42Oh, look at that.
23:57Hello, very Christmas.
23:58Everyone!
24:00Oh, do miss her!
24:02Oh, look.
24:03Agnes Loretta has been bargained.
24:07That's my turn.
24:11To work?
24:12Oh, come on.
24:13Oh, no.
24:14Oh, come on.
24:14Oh, come on.
24:15Oh, come on.
24:15Oh, come on.
24:15Good night, Gant.
24:16Good girl.
24:18Oh, come on.
24:20Oh, come on.
24:25Oh, come on.
24:25Oh, come on.
24:27Oh, come on.
24:45Good grief.

27:20why do you hope not
27:22what a police
27:52All right, off we go.
28:10Right, you'll take the high road and I'll take the low road.
28:16Hang on to your hands, Edward.
28:23Your house, poor old Jimmy.
28:27Uh, which Jimmy would...
28:29My Jimmy.
28:31Your, uh...
28:32Jimmy, my fiancée.
28:34Oh, he's all right.
28:37Shame about his ankle.
28:38Yeah.
28:41Did he have time to tell you the whole story?
28:45Actually, no.
28:49Well...
28:58Of course, we'd planned it down to the last detail.
29:02I borrowed one of the maid's rooms, the tantalus, changed it to a dark sweater and slacks, and dashed across
29:08the road.
29:10Some eating room nearly ran me down.
29:12Really?
29:13Then, up the ivy.
29:15The only useful thing I ever learned to finish.
29:19Well, the maid was in the room, of course.
29:22But the minute Jimmy started the fire, she rushed out.
29:26I rushed in, grabbed the necklace, back down the ivy.
29:30Bob's your uncle.
29:33Well, of course, when Jimmy didn't turn up, I was a bit worrying.
29:38All I could do was race back to the car park, shove the necklace and a note in Jimmy's car,
29:43and pray.
29:45Then I crept in through the back of the hotel, and took back on the dance floor before you would
29:49say, quick-step.
29:50I don't think anyone even noticed I'd gone.
29:52Come on, is it, uh, is it very valuable?
29:57The Lorena diamonds?
29:59Mm-hmm.
30:00My dear Edward, they're priceless.
30:23Now, come on in, Edward, for a quick wash and brush-up, before we dash up to the Café de
30:29Parry.
30:30The Café de Parry?
30:31Oh, Lord, love it dark.
30:34Didn't Gerald tell you anything?
30:37Yes, but what about my clothes?
30:40We'll rig you up in something.
30:42You're not going to desert me now.
30:45Hello, Grosvenor.
30:47What do you mean, your lady, Phil?
30:49Come on, Edward.
30:52Come on, Belle.
30:54Come on, Edward.
30:56Come on.
31:03Come on.
31:04Come on.
31:28Now, what to imbibe?
31:31Gimlet?
31:32Horses neck?
31:34White ladies?
31:35Uh, what are you worth?
31:38Imbibing?
31:38Well, I think cocktails are also boring, don't you?
31:41Let's stick to champagne, shall we?
31:43Let's.
31:44Champagne, she was going to stop.
31:52Oh, got it!
31:53I nearly forgot.
31:55What?
31:55The neck, though.
31:58What, here?
31:59Yes.
32:01You really got it, sure?
32:02What does that mean?
32:05Maybe you're saying.
32:24It's quite an adventure, aren't you?
32:26I'd rather...
32:27Do you dance?
32:29Yes, actually, I do.
32:31Any good?
32:32Um, actually, I am, yes.
32:34Oh, come on, then.
32:35Give us a whirl.
32:40Oh, come on, then.
33:04There she is.
33:07Who's she with?
33:08I don't know, darling.
33:10Right.
33:12Four sides to the floor, and we'll try a pencil movie.
33:25Good evening, Noreen.
33:39Whatever you do, don't let go.
33:43Do you mind if I steal it?
33:44Don't, Elbury. How lovely to see you.
33:47And you too, my dear.
33:48I see. May I?
33:50Oh, I dare to.
33:52Statelance.
34:17Very nice.
34:22Your escort doesn't seem to trust me at all.
34:25Hasn't let you out of your sight.
34:28Many thanks.
34:33Quick, Edward. Into the middle of the floor.
34:35Excuse me.
34:37Oh, sorry.
34:38Thanks a lot.
34:39Dance, Edward. Just dance.
34:43Who the hell is he?
34:45She calls him Edward.
34:46Gerald's brother?
34:47Nothing like him.
34:48Ah, my gosh.
34:49PACI, my friend.
35:01Oh, no.
35:05Oh, no.
35:07Oh, no.
35:08Oh, no.
35:08Tony Winkler, who's coming in now?
35:08Well, he's welcome.
35:12Oh, no.
35:15Oh, no, no.
35:16Oh, no.
35:16Oh, no.
35:17Oh, no.
35:17Oh, no.
35:17Oh, no, it's coming in now.
35:18Oh, no.
35:18Oh, no.
35:28Oh, my God, oh, my God, oh, my God, oh, my God.
35:48Oh, my God, oh, my God.
36:20Oh, my God.
36:21Oh, my God.
36:32Oh, my God.
36:40Now, it really is my time, don't you think?
36:43You don't mind old chap, do you?
36:45No way.
36:46Afraid?
36:47Oh, of course I'm not afraid.
36:49Edward, watch this gentleman like a hawk.
36:51Oh, my God, oh, my God.
36:53Oh, my God.
37:04Oh, my God.
37:09Play fair.
37:10Sebastian!
37:11That's enough.
37:12Keep your filthy hands off her.
37:14I beg your pardon?
37:15I can see what you're up to.
37:16You're trying to steal the necklace.
37:20That's a good one.
37:21Well, I'm here to return it to its right below.
37:23Sebastian!
37:24Quick!
37:26Stop her!
37:27Come on!
37:30I'll get her.
37:31Come on, stop her!
37:32Quick!
37:32No!
37:35No!
37:36Oh!
37:39Oh!
37:40Oh!
37:43Well done, Edward!
37:44Keep going!
37:50Oh!
37:52Well done!
37:53Everyone!
37:55One?
37:55Yes!
37:56Fair enough, old girl.
37:58Congratulations.
37:59Jim, you'll be proud of you.
38:01Well done, old boy.
38:02Congratulations.
38:03But I still don't see why you had to wear the necklace.
38:06Oh!
38:07Gracious.
38:08Did Gerald tell you anything at all?
38:11Very little.
38:12Well, it's all rather stupid and difficult to understand, I suppose.
38:19The truth is, Edward, I'm bored.
38:22Oh, I'm not like you with herds of cattle to look after and hundreds of workers.
38:28I'm bored because I was brought up to lead a thoroughly useless life.
38:33So, first of all, it was pub crawls.
38:36And then treasure hunts.
38:38And last month I invented burglaries.
38:4150 quid entrance fee and lots to be drawn.
38:44Jimmy and I drew Agnes Lorella.
38:46Isn't that the girl who jumped off Henley Bridge for a bet?
38:49Yeah!
38:50That's right.
38:50And her Cammy Knickers.
38:51Oh!
38:52And just missed the umpire's launch.
38:57Well, the rules are, one, you operate in pairs, two, the burglary must be carried out
39:04within three days of the draw, and three, the loot must be worn for at least one hour
39:10in a public place.
39:13Regardez, the Café de Paris.
39:15As public as they come.
39:18And if you don't do all that, you forfeit your 50 quid and pay a hundred pound fine.
39:22That's why they were chasing us.
39:24Yes.
39:26Well, as I said, it all sounds rather stupid.
39:29No.
39:30No, it's very exciting.
39:32It's romantic.
39:33It's an adventure.
39:37I'm glad I was part of it.
39:39Mm.
39:39So am I.
39:46And you're going to marry this Jimmy fellow?
39:51That's the idea.
39:52At the moment of going to press.
39:54Well, you don't sound very sure.
39:58Well, as I said, I'm bored.
40:02Oh, I'm sick of living at home.
40:05Jimmy's rich.
40:07My class, as they say.
40:10Household cavalry, all that.
40:14Looks quite tall on a horse.
40:18I shall have five children and fade into obscurity.
40:21Oh, I'm sure you won't.
40:22You'll always be the life and soul.
40:27Are you married, Edward?
40:29No.
40:30Like you, engaged.
40:32To some dusky, bull-away and maiden?
40:34Actually, no.
40:36A missionary's daughter.
40:38Not exactly, no.
40:40No.
40:44Well, I hope she likes to dance.
40:46Actually, yes.
40:48Where do you dance when you're over here?
40:49The Hammersmith Pallet.
40:51Oh.
40:52Where's that?
40:55Hammersmith.
40:57Is she over here with you?
41:00Yes, actually.
41:03Then where is she tonight?
41:06Well, it's a bit difficult to explain.
41:12A row?
41:14A blazing row?
41:15Not exactly, no.
41:17Not yet.
41:19Another love.
41:22In a way.
41:24Then where's she?
41:26Outside.
41:28Outside?
41:33Thou speakest in riddles, O Edward.
41:44Well, come along, drink up.
41:46Thou must take me home.
41:48Yes, of course.
41:50Oh, and then I know you'll be a sweet man
41:53and take these back to Agnes.
41:55What, tonight?
41:56The battle is lost and won.
41:58I should like you to have them back at once.
42:01They're not tired.
42:03No, of course not.
42:07On Captain Foniot's account, please, Gaston.
42:17Oh, well.
42:20What a night.
42:26What's the time?
42:28Uh, it's night two.

48:35Edward, it's you.
48:42I didn't expect you back so soon.
48:45Did you have a nice time with that friend of yours?
48:48That was a lie.
48:51The truth is I won a magazine competition.
48:55500 pounds as a matter of fact.
48:57500 pounds?
48:58Yes.
48:59And instead of investing it in gilt-edged or conversion bonds,
49:04I bought a car.
49:07A car?
49:08Absolute beauty.
49:11I didn't tell you because I knew you'd kick up a dickens of a fuss.
49:14That's the first thing.
49:15I bought the car so there's nothing more to be said about it.
49:18And that's what you were doing yesterday?
49:20That's right.
49:21And all week.
49:22Giving her a bit of a whirl.
49:24The second thing is...
49:25But why should I kick up a fuss?
49:27The car proves that you're going up in the world.
49:30Yes.
49:31Yes.
49:31I can see that now.
49:32You silly boy.
49:34Can we go for a drive tomorrow?
49:36If you like it.
49:38Of course.
49:39What?
49:39Our mother will love it.
49:42There's a white car just outside of the road.
49:44No.
49:46Edward.
49:47Well.
49:48Hello Mrs. Livinglow.
49:50Can't you see we're talking?
49:52I dare say you are.
49:53Why?
49:57Please.
49:59We'd like to be alone.
50:09And a Merry Christmas.
50:15The second thing is I'm not going to hang about waiting.
50:18I'm going to marry you next month.
50:20Until then are you prepared to wear this ring?
50:23It's the same one.
50:23I didn't change it.
50:24Well quickly.
50:25Yes or no?
50:25You're so different today Edward.
50:28Yes.
50:29Yes for 24 hours I've been a man instead of a mouse.
50:35Because you bought a car?
50:37Yes.
50:38Exactly.
50:41Well sort of.
50:46Do you love me Maud?
50:50Do you love me Maud?
51:01Oh Edward.
51:03I adore you.
51:15Oh, there you are.
51:22No God.
51:33No.
51:34No.
51:36No.
51:36No.
51:36No.
51:37No.
51:37No.
51:38No.
