00:00:00The End
00:01:31Is this a hot day or ain't it?
00:01:34Why shouldn't it be hot?
00:01:37Yesterday was the 24th of August.
00:01:42The 24th of August.
00:01:44You know that date good, don't you?
00:01:46Yes, I know that date good.
00:01:50Your wife's wedding day?
00:01:54Well, as I said before, losing a wife ain't a real trouble like losing your health or your money, is
00:02:00it?
00:02:00You were very sympathetic, Carl Scho.
00:02:04As how did I happen to meet you?
00:02:06We got to talking kind of late last night in a speakeasy belonging to a friend of mine.
00:02:11Well, where are we now?
00:02:13Well, at the Westlake Hotel, which I own mostly, I keep these rooms for me and my friends.
00:02:20Oh.
00:02:25Oh, for the love of heaven.
00:02:27I'll put the windows down.
00:02:43Hmm.
00:02:44Want to see something?
00:02:49What?
00:02:50Come here.
00:02:53Oh, for the love of heaven.
00:02:56We got to see something.
00:03:00And what?
00:03:01And now it's gone.
00:03:03We got to see something.
00:03:03How we're taking on one year's no way.
00:03:08But a man on my mind is all brighter than me.
00:03:17I've been walking in a daze, looking through a blue haze, hoping that, that somebody will call.
00:03:30But it's all indeed, and I've had on my brain, listening for his step out in the hall.
00:03:39For when your lovin' is blind, it's tough on you, oh, what I've been through, worrying away, with a man
00:03:54on my mind, all night and day.
00:04:08Gosh, it's hot in here.
00:04:11Hey, move that fan so some of the sea breeze gets to me.
00:04:15Right.
00:04:22Oh, I wish I had your crust and could stand things.
00:04:27Sure.
00:04:28You're too soft.
00:04:30You always were.
00:04:31And where does it get you?
00:04:33Every time I tried being hard-boiled, it didn't get me anywhere, except in jail once.
00:04:38Oh, forget that.
00:04:40I don't want to forget it.
00:04:42Only swell man I ever knew in my life was in jail that time.
00:04:47He must have been swell.
00:04:49What was he in for?
00:04:50Oh, he wasn't in jail.
00:04:56Hey, what'd you do that for?
00:04:58So the draft wouldn't go straight through you.
00:05:00You know, you can get a terrible cold that way, even on a hot day.
00:05:06Hey, that's funny.
00:05:07One of them done something to the fan.
00:05:09We can't hear him now.
00:05:12Well, I don't know who she is any more than you do.
00:05:16But I say a man would be better off with a woman like that for a wife than with the
00:05:23kind of wife I had.
00:05:24Say, for the love of heaven, will you eat something or not?
00:05:27That sort of girl is what she is.
00:05:31She's on the level, whether you're for her or whether you're not.
00:05:35If she isn't, a man can kick her out.
00:05:38But a nice woman can get away with anything, even with a divorce.
00:05:45If she happens to want a husband, richer than the one she's got already.
00:05:49Well, I don't know.
00:05:50I figure out the trouble with women nowadays is they're getting smart.
00:05:54No, they're too smart.
00:05:56They know how to be married, respected, protected, free, all at the same time.
00:06:03We ought to get those dames over and let you tell them what you know about women.
00:06:08It would hand them a laugh anyhow.
00:06:10Yeah, I'll tell them.
00:06:12Fine.
00:06:13I'll get them.
00:06:14Give me some more of that fan again, will you?
00:06:18Okay.
00:06:26Hello.
00:06:26Hazel, what's the name of the party across the court?
00:06:30Just a minute.
00:06:31Wait, wait.
00:06:31Oh, the court.
00:06:32You're on the level.
00:06:33I like you.
00:06:34But as I was saying to the boyfriend tonight, you lost your last job.
00:06:38There's something wrong about your psychology.
00:06:41All right.
00:06:42Give them from me in a minute.
00:06:43Oh, that's a word that means anything.
00:06:45But I mean you don't click.
00:06:47Now, why don't you buck up and make something for your opportunity?
00:06:51Opportunity?
00:06:52You make me sick.
00:06:54Well, I ain't saying you got the chance to understudy the leading lady in a new show or anything like
00:06:59that.
00:07:00But everybody can do something.
00:07:02Yeah, so I've heard.
00:07:04Was a time when a girl could try her hand in a little easy grass and maybe come home with
00:07:09a rent for it.
00:07:11I've done it myself.
00:07:14I never knew that.
00:07:17Oh, I only did it when it was that of the first high winder.
00:07:21But having tried it, I'll try jumping next time.
00:07:24I ain't crazy enough about living to get mine that way.
00:07:27A nice girl like you shouldn't have to.
00:07:31All I'm good for is to stand in the back row of a cheap show and lift up a leg
00:07:36to a cheap tomb.
00:07:37It's all I know how to do and all I want to do and I can't even get that to
00:07:40do half the time.
00:07:42I guess you're just unlucky.
00:07:44Why don't you go to see one of them birds that tells you you're going by the wrong name?
00:07:48Maybe if you changed it, you'd get somewhere.
00:07:50Yeah?
00:07:51Where?
00:07:53Where's it to get?
00:07:55In the front row steady till you're 25 maybe and then what?
00:08:00Oh, I guess there ain't nothing I'll ever get that's worth having so what's the use?
00:08:08Hello?
00:08:09Hazel?
00:08:13You answer it.
00:08:14I'm out.
00:08:15But don't tell them how much.
00:08:24Hello?
00:08:25Hello?
00:08:26Hello, who wants her?
00:08:29Hey, say, are you trying to be funny?
00:08:32Hey, hey, Eddie Coucho, the guy that owns this hotel, and he wants to invite us to a party.
00:08:41Hello?
00:08:42Hello, sure.
00:08:45Sure.
00:08:58How do you remember where you met me, Mr. Dunlap?
00:09:20You mean you never, you never even seen me before?
00:09:23No.
00:09:24No.
00:09:26Oh, you know that he's too hot.
00:09:28Well, that's not hard work.
00:09:31Ooh.
00:09:32Da, da, da, da, da, oh, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when.
00:09:41Ah, go on, I can't play this game if you lean all over me, can I?
00:09:45Who knows what time it is?
00:09:47Who cares?
00:09:48Oh, I thought it'd be nice to take a ride in Central Park and get a little air.
00:09:53He ain't mine yet.
00:09:56Ah, save your taxi fare.
00:09:59He can float to Central Park if he don't eat something pretty soon.
00:10:03Oh, I don't want anything.
00:10:07Maybe he's on a liquid diet.
00:10:09He sure is on a liquid diet.
00:10:11I've been trying to make him eat all day.
00:10:14You know, you might get sick.
00:10:17Well?
00:10:18Well, you might die.
00:10:21Well, what difference does that make?
00:10:24Well, I guess I've got to think of my reputation, haven't I?
00:10:28A lady can't afford to be found in a hotel room with a dead man, can she?
00:10:34Well, at least your sword is on his fancy.
00:10:38You don't pretend a man means something to him when he doesn't.
00:10:44Oh, come on, Eddie, let's play this game.
00:10:45He's going to talk about life.
00:10:47All right.
00:10:47Come on.
00:10:48Come on, Mr. Dunlap.
00:10:49Yeah.
00:10:50I want to show you something.
00:10:52Wait, it's my turn.
00:10:53No, it isn't.
00:10:53It's my turn.
00:10:54Oh, yes it is.
00:10:55Now, Eddie.
00:10:56Oh, it's my turn.
00:10:56Well, give me one little turn.
00:10:57Well, no, no, you had your chance.
00:10:59Well, go ahead, then.
00:11:00Let me see how well you're going to do.
00:11:02Huh.
00:11:06Now, you try.
00:11:08Well, what is it?
00:11:10I don't say anything unusual.
00:11:13That's good.
00:11:14Most men be seeing unusual things after half of what you had.
00:11:17Hmm?
00:11:18Oh.
00:11:20You make me laugh, kindly.
00:11:22I haven't laughed in weeks.
00:11:25Feeling sorry for yourself?
00:11:26Well, I'm not sorry for myself.
00:11:29You wouldn't say it that way if you knew a little more about you.
00:11:32Oh, I know, I know, I know.
00:11:34I read all about it in the newspapers.
00:11:36Your wife left you to marry an old guy with a lot of money.
00:11:39Gonna let a little thing like that get you down?
00:11:41Oh, is it such a little thing?
00:11:43I wish I could think so.
00:11:45Well, it seems little to me compared to the things that men do to women.
00:11:50Don't hear many of them whining about it.
00:11:52You haven't a very high opinion of men, have you, Francis?
00:11:56Well, I've never looked up to them much.
00:11:59I've never had any reason to.
00:12:02Oh, of course, I suppose there are men who try hard.
00:12:06And after all, I respect people who try hard.
00:12:08That is, if they're trying for something more than eating and sleeping and having clothes.
00:12:13You know what I mean?
00:12:14I do know.
00:12:15You've never even had a chance to try for something you really wanted.
00:12:20Something more than eating and sleeping and clothes.
00:12:23Isn't that so?
00:12:24Look, you've got trouble of your own.
00:12:27You don't need to worry about me.
00:12:30You're one of those women who don't whine, aren't you, Francis?
00:12:35Yeah, sure.
00:12:36I'm swell.
00:12:37Well, I am.
00:12:38Yes, you are.
00:12:38You're, you're swerved.
00:12:40I, I said, a man would be better off with a woman like you for a wife than for the
00:12:46kind of wife I, I have.
00:12:49Then laughed yourself thick, I bet.
00:12:51No, I, I didn't laugh.
00:12:52I told you I hadn't laughed in weeks.
00:12:56Yes, a man would be better off with a woman like nice flowers.
00:13:03Funny they don't wither in this heat.
00:13:06Yes, it'd be funnier if they did.
00:13:08Huh?
00:13:09Oh, boy, I see.
00:13:12You do like flowers, Francis?
00:13:15Well, I don't know.
00:13:16I never got near enough to any real ones to find out.
00:13:19Poor little Francis.
00:13:22A man would be better off with a woman like you for a wife than the kind of wife I
00:13:29have.
00:13:30That's what I said.
00:13:31Yeah, I heard you the first time.
00:13:34Oh, you, you don't believe me, huh?
00:13:37All right.
00:13:38Let, let's get married.
00:13:40Will you marry me, Pansy?
00:13:42I'll give you the chance you never had.
00:13:45I guess I'd better give you something instead.
00:13:47A load of black coffee.
00:13:49But I, I mean it, Pansy.
00:13:52Now, listen, you mustn't talk like that.
00:13:54But why not?
00:13:55Now, even if you don't mean it, it does thing you to me.
00:13:58It, it, it, but I, I do mean it, Pansy.
00:14:01Ah, shut up, will you?
00:14:02No, no, not until you, not until you say you'll marry me.
00:14:06Hey, you're crazy.
00:14:07You don't know what you're talking about.
00:14:08No, I won't.
00:14:09Well, you've got to marry me, Pansy.
00:14:11A man would be better off with a woman like you for a wife and...
00:14:15No, don't you say that again.
00:14:17You shut up.
00:14:17No, no, no, no, listen, everybody.
00:14:19I've watched Pansy to marry me.
00:14:22I'm free and I'm not a bad store.
00:14:24Oh, make him shut up.
00:14:25Make him shut up.
00:14:27Well, for the love of heaven.
00:14:52All right.
00:15:07Thank you very much.
00:15:08Thank you very much.
00:15:12Thank you very much.
00:15:18Thank you very much.
00:15:19Thank you very much.
00:15:22Thank you very much.
00:15:23Thank you very much.
00:15:24Thank you very much.
00:15:25Thank you very much.
00:15:25Thank you very much.
00:15:26Thank you very much.
00:15:28Thank you very much.
00:16:08Oh, hello.
00:16:11Well, I see you've pulled yourself together.
00:16:15I mean, you're up and on your feet.
00:16:19Even though that chair does look a little handy.
00:16:29Oh, I feel awful myself, too.
00:16:32I'm not saying I don't feel like jumping out any high windows this morning like I have for the past
00:16:37few months.
00:16:37Do you want some coffee? Would you like some of that headache?
00:16:39I don't remember meeting you.
00:16:42Don't you know me?
00:16:43I said I don't remember meeting you.
00:16:47Of course, I know you're Pansy Gray, the young woman who was arrested last spring in Wilmington for being indecently
00:16:53clad in a burlesque show.
00:16:55Oh, so you remember that this morning.
00:16:57Why shouldn't I?
00:16:58I was the lawyer who got you off.
00:17:01Now, will you please tell me just exactly why I find you here?
00:17:05You mean to tell me you don't remember you and I got married last night?
00:17:11Say that again.
00:17:13You and I got married last night.
00:17:16I'm your wife, so help me.
00:17:21You?
00:17:23You?
00:17:26My wife?
00:17:32Yes, me.
00:17:47Oh, don't stare at me like that.
00:17:49You made me marry you.
00:17:51I didn't know you was that bad.
00:17:52Honest, I didn't.
00:17:54Yes, it's coming back to me.
00:17:55Like a bad dream, very fantastically.
00:17:57Yeah, like a bad dream, eh?
00:17:59Oh, no, it's not possible.
00:18:03Was there a church somewhere in the country?
00:18:06Yeah, we stopped at the first church we found down on Staten Island after Eddie helped you get the license.
00:18:13Yeah, it was a nice little church, too.
00:18:17It's all just beautiful.
00:18:19What's the time?
00:18:21Oh, it's nearly noon, I guess.
00:18:23Say, the newspapers have been trying to get you all morning.
00:18:25Oh, so it's in the papers.
00:18:28Yeah, sure it is.
00:18:31Eddie gave them a load of it last night, and you imagine what they say, even if he was nice
00:18:35to them.
00:18:36Say, I'd much rather you wouldn't read them.
00:18:38Oh.
00:18:56Would you mind waiting in the next room when I talk to my sister?
00:19:06Well, no, not at all.
00:19:10But if you think you're going to try and figure out some way of getting rid of me and calling
00:19:13this marriage off, you can't, that's all.
00:19:16My dear young woman, if you want money...
00:19:17I don't.
00:19:19Money's got nothing to do with what I want.
00:19:22Surely you don't want to be tied to a man who didn't know what he was doing when he married
00:19:25you, and who doesn't want to be tied to you.
00:19:27Well, I don't think that's any of your business.
00:19:30What I want or don't want is up to me.
00:19:33And him.
00:19:34But my brother wasn't himself last night.
00:19:36Yeah?
00:19:36Well, maybe he was more himself, this real self, than he is this morning, standing there letting his wife be
00:19:42treated like she was so much dirt.
00:19:44Well, I'm not dirt, see?
00:19:45I ain't going to be swept out like I was.
00:20:00Oh, Neil.
00:20:01Oh, no.
00:20:06What if she does want money?
00:20:08I don't believe she does.
00:20:09But if she's pretending she doesn't, in order to get more, she'll be very disappointed.
00:20:13You haven't much, except death.
00:20:15Well, I make enough.
00:20:16Well, you did make enough.
00:20:18But people in a place like Wilmington don't want a lawyer they can't ask to dinner.
00:20:23Oh, dear, didn't I tell you?
00:20:24And didn't Ellen tell you that you were very foolish to take this girl's case when she was arrested for
00:20:28being scantily clad in a burlesque show?
00:20:30Oh, that's got you no variety enough.
00:20:33Yeah, now I suppose I'll say that's why Ellen left me, hmm?
00:20:35Oh, be frank, Neil.
00:20:37Wasn't it?
00:20:38No.
00:20:39Oh, good heavens, no.
00:20:41Now, you answer it.
00:20:43If there are any reporters...
00:20:49Hello?
00:20:50Who?
00:20:51Oh, wait.
00:20:52Gustav Sackson's office.
00:20:53No, no, I don't want to talk to him.
00:20:54Nonsense.
00:20:54You have to see him.
00:20:56Ask Mr. Sackson to come up.
00:20:59I'll go in there and keep your wife out of the way.
00:21:02You will have to learn to kowtow to men like Sackson in the future.
00:21:05They're likely to be the only kind of clients you'll have.
00:21:12Someone's calling on my brother.
00:21:14I'll wait here if you don't mind.
00:21:29Do you want a highball or anything?
00:21:31No, thank you.
00:21:37I came to congratulate you and to offer you a wedding present.
00:21:40Well, that's very kind of you, but...
00:21:42I know what you are up against.
00:21:44And it's likely you do, too.
00:21:47That's why I've changed my opinion of you since morning.
00:21:50A good many people have changed their opinion of me since this morning.
00:21:53Oh, don't worry about your straight-laced clients and friends back in Wilmington.
00:21:58They are true with you.
00:22:00Naturally.
00:22:00And you are true with them.
00:22:03Since I got you into this moron...
00:22:05That's not true.
00:22:05Oh, pardon me.
00:22:06I sent for you the time the young lady was arrested for appearing on the stage
00:22:10without enough clothes to suit our Wilmington's sense of propriety.
00:22:15Would you have met her if I hadn't employed you to get her out of jail?
00:22:18As a matter of fact, I would have.
00:22:21But I have often wondered why you sent for me that time instead of your own lawyers.
00:22:24It is simple.
00:22:26I knew you came of those same reformers who were trying to close the show.
00:22:31I knew you would, therefore, have more influence in them.
00:22:34And the biggest part of my income from that block of property came out of the theater.
00:22:40If it's closed...
00:22:44Are you sure you don't want a highball or something?
00:22:47Nothing, thanks.
00:22:51I like you.
00:22:52You are not a coward.
00:22:54And I believe this marriage is the beginning of a wisdom you've never had before.
00:23:00That's another way of looking at it, anyway.
00:23:02That's why I've come here since I happen to be coming to New York today.
00:23:06To offer you my support and to ask you to take over my law business.
00:23:15Say, do you like this green nail polish?
00:23:19Huh?
00:23:26Oh.
00:23:28I think it's kind of loud myself.
00:23:32But it is novel.
00:23:43I guess there's nothing to prevent my having a highball if I want one.
00:23:54I've been thinking, dear, this young woman can refuse to help us with a divorce.
00:23:58But she can't force you to treat her as your wife.
00:24:01All she can do is to sue you for support.
00:24:05I'll have to work this out my own way, Kitty.
00:24:08After all, there's more than one way of looking at it.
00:24:09You go home now.
00:24:11To Wilmington?
00:24:12Yes.
00:24:12How can I?
00:24:13What can I say to people?
00:24:14Ah, tell them the truth.
00:24:16Tell them your brother got drunk and didn't know what he was doing.
00:24:21Tell them the liquor nowadays can't be trusted.
00:24:26Come stay at my house, darling, as soon as you're alone.
00:24:29Thanks, Brooks.
00:24:30Don't worry.
00:24:31Okay.
00:24:41You go into your sister like she said.
00:24:46You said you weren't interested in money.
00:24:48Why not?
00:24:50You don't remember any of the things you talked about last night, do you?
00:24:54Well, what's that got to do with anything?
00:24:57Oh, nothing.
00:24:59Nothing you'd understand the way you feel now.
00:25:03Only if you did understand, you'd know why I don't want money.
00:25:08Well, what do you want?
00:25:10I want a chance you promised me last night.
00:25:13I want a chance to make good.
00:25:15I can.
00:25:17Yeah, and I will.
00:25:20You know, you're going to go through an awful bad time whether you get rid of me or whether you
00:25:24don't.
00:25:27Maybe it'll be better with me than without me.
00:25:30Well, it won't work, I tell them.
00:25:33There's not a hope of it working.
00:25:35Anything you tell me to do, I'll do.
00:25:39All right.
00:25:40You do just as you please.
00:25:43And so will I.
00:26:08If anybody on the telephone wants to speak to Mr. Dunlap, he's out of town on business.
00:26:14Very good, ma'am.
00:26:20Very good, ma'am.
00:26:22No, Miss Catherine, he's not in.
00:26:25Very good, ma'am.
00:26:32Very good, ma'am.
00:26:34It was Mr. Dunlap's sister, ma'am.
00:26:36I gave her your message.
00:26:38Wait a minute.
00:26:41Why wasn't this table cleared?
00:26:44The servants are leaving, madam.
00:26:50Oh, they're leaving, are they?

00:27:42no madam it is not but it is what are you afraid of let's give it to her she's asking
00:27:48for it

00:28:28listen I've been so hungry that
00:28:32yeah what do you care
00:28:35well I'd feel sorry if I could believe it
00:28:39yeah sure you would that's what keeps people being alive feeling sorry for somebody it means that that they'll have
00:28:48somebody feeling sorry for them when they need it I tell you that if you got a chance to help
00:28:54another fella out why it's like like throwing your own bread away to turn it down
00:29:01I suppose you think I'm a queer sort of a woman to preach I guess you know that being in
00:29:07a church never meant much to me except once

00:30:12the gentleman wishes to see you madam
00:30:17Mr. Gutstave Saxon
00:30:20that's funny

00:30:23I don't remember him
00:30:25if you'll pardon me madam
00:30:27everybody has heard of Mr. Saxon
00:30:29he's a very rich man
00:30:31oh

00:30:35but I said he was out of town
00:30:38thank you
00:30:49Mrs. Dunlap
00:30:51yeah I'm Mr. Dunlap
00:30:53I'm sorry to intrude
00:30:55but I don't seem to be able to reach your husband at his office
00:30:58oh you're afraid of him
00:31:00in a manner of speaking
00:31:02he's supposed to be handling my business for me
00:31:06oh
00:31:08well don't you want to sit down
00:31:11thanks
00:31:20I'm surprised to hear that your husband is out of town

00:31:26oh well I'm awful sorry
00:31:28Mr.
00:31:30Mr. Saxon
00:31:30but you see
00:31:31it was something awful important
00:31:33and he had to go
00:31:34I thought he perhaps changed his mind
00:31:37about taking my offer
00:31:38oh no no
00:31:39no I know it wasn't that
00:31:41but you must admit it's odd

00:31:50you see

00:32:03I can't blame him for neglecting his work
00:32:06Mrs. Dunlap
00:32:07oh he'll make up for it Mr. Saxon
00:32:08you know he's got so many brains
00:32:11and he's so honest and fine
00:32:13he can do twice the work any other man can
00:32:15once he gets started
00:32:16with a wife like you
00:32:18I'm sure he will
00:32:22suppose you ask him to call at my office

00:33:07I want Neil's friends to like me
00:33:10if they don't
00:33:12they are idiots
00:33:20I don't know if they don't know if they don't know if they don't know if they don't know if
00:33:21they don't know if they don't know if they don't know if they don't know if they don't know if
00:33:26they don't know if they don't know if they don't know if they don't know if they don't know if
00:33:29they don't know if they don't know if they don't know if they don't know if they don't know if
00:33:31they don't know if they don't know if they don't know if they don't know if they don't know if

00:33:58Romantic music, my dear, to the brown.
00:34:15Now listen, Gustave Saxon's just been here.
00:34:21Gustave?
00:34:22Yeah.
00:34:25Oh, Gustave.
00:34:27Well, did you hire him?
00:34:29Don't you know who he is?
00:34:31Of course I do, my dear. He's a cook.
00:34:33Can't be anything but a cook with a name like Gustave.
00:34:37It's perfect. Simply perfect.
00:34:56Sit down.
00:34:59Now listen.
00:35:01Gustave Saxon's one of the richest men in New York.
00:35:03And he says you're his lawyer.
00:35:06Hmm?
00:35:08Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
00:35:10Now what are you laughing at?
00:35:11Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho.
00:35:13Well, I vaguely remember a case I handled for him once.
00:35:20Yeah?
00:35:20Yeah.
00:35:21Well, maybe if you think that one case is so funny you won't mind getting to work with some others
00:35:24that he's got waiting for you.
00:35:26Work? On summer day?
00:35:29Not.
00:35:30Only the ants work on a summer day.
00:35:34You'll find them the most industrious of insects, my dear.
00:35:38Well, fortunately, I am not an insect.
00:35:43Now what are you then?
00:35:46Oh, surely you're not inferring I'm not a gentleman.
00:35:50Well, maybe there ain't such a lot of difference between gentlemen and insects.
00:35:54Huh?
00:35:55Oh, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:35:57You're very fancy.
00:35:58You're very amusing.
00:36:00Isn't that why I married you?
00:36:02You married me to give me a chance.
00:36:05Huh?
00:36:06Yeah, a swell chance you've given me.
00:36:09Nurse me to a drunken fool.
00:36:11Uh, no, no, please, please, please.
00:36:13I know you're quite capable of knowing that I'm drunk.
00:36:17But a fool is going a little too up.
00:36:22Yeah, I suppose you're not a fool sitting there day after day pouring that muck down your throat.
00:36:31What about the way you're letting your work go?
00:36:34Hmm?
00:36:35You know, you've got a big opportunity.
00:36:37Can't go and be easy to find another one like it.
00:36:40Where do you think you're going to end up, anyway?
00:36:43In the gutter, my sweet.
00:36:45With you.
00:36:46No.
00:36:47No, not with me.
00:36:49Now, you shake the hell out of me.
00:36:51Get back there.
00:36:52Stop laughing.
00:36:53I've got something to say to you.
00:36:57You remember that time you got me out of jail?
00:37:00Well, you were sort of, well, sort of like a hero to me then.
00:37:05I had 15 bucks and I wanted to pay you.
00:37:08You wouldn't take it.
00:37:09No, and you weren't looking for anything else either.
00:37:14So I sort of figured out that you were different to other men.
00:37:17Well?
00:37:18Well, you are.
00:37:22You're worse.
00:37:24Well, supposing I am.
00:37:25Well, what are you going to do about it?
00:37:27Plenty.
00:37:33Oh, Mason.
00:37:35Will you bring up some black coffee to Mr. Dunlap's room?
00:37:40Yeah, make it a jug full.
00:37:47Now, you snap out of it.
00:37:48Come on now.
00:37:49What are you doing?
00:37:50No, Pans.
00:37:50Well, don't resist that.
00:37:52You can't do that.
00:37:53Get in there.
00:37:54What is happening?
00:37:55Now, you've got just one hour to get yourself in shape to see Saxons.
00:37:58Well, you can't make me see Saxons if I don't want to.
00:38:02No?
00:38:02No.
00:38:03Well, this is Pansy Gray, you see?
00:38:06And I've handled drunks before.
00:38:14Hey!
00:38:16Come back here.
00:38:17No, no, no.
00:38:18Pansy, you can't do that.
00:38:24You can't...
00:38:24Now, there's not a bit of good looking at me like that.
00:38:28I'm tired of trying to beat Stenson to you.
00:38:30Now, you get in there and stay down until you can stay uncle if it takes you the rest of
00:38:34your life.
00:38:44Well, I don't take a bath anyway. I ain't taking a shower. You already know that by now.
00:39:01Morning, Nathan.
00:39:02Morning, Nathan.
00:39:14Morning.
00:39:17I'm not the only one who's getting the habit of early rising, I see.
00:39:21Oh.
00:39:24Oh.
00:39:26Oh, you've had breakfast.
00:39:28Uh-huh.
00:39:31But, uh, I could do with another cup of coffee. I'll go in with you.
00:39:34No, no. No, wait a minute. I want to tell you something.
00:39:37Well, what is it?
00:39:39Well, first, it's happy birthday.
00:39:42Oh, thank you, Pansy. That is nice of you.
00:39:44Of course, I didn't buy you anything. It seems sort of silly when everything I've got you've given me.
00:39:50Oh, you shouldn't worry about that, Pansy.
00:39:52Oh, I'm-I'm not worrying about anything anymore.
00:39:55Because I've found one thing I can give you that nobody else can.
00:40:02Guess what?
00:40:05Oh, that's not fair.
00:40:07Haven't I been working hard enough?
00:40:08Yeah, you've been working hard at everything.
00:40:11Well, then, tell me, what is it?
00:40:16Well, um, sit down, shut your eyes.
00:40:22Now, it's all tied up with red ribbon bows and it's got a little card on it that says,
00:40:27To kneel with best wishes for a happy life from now on, from Pansy.
00:40:36Well, it's-it's your freedom.
00:40:42What do you mean?
00:40:45I'm going away.
00:40:48Oh, nonsense. I-I won't listen to it.
00:40:51Why not?
00:40:52Do you think I'm going to let you sacrifice yourself after all you've done for me?
00:40:57Oh. Oh, I haven't done such a lot.
00:40:58Oh, yes, you have. You made me work.
00:41:01And you, your poor kid, have had no fun at all.
00:41:03Oh, yes, I have.
00:41:04No, you haven't.
00:41:05Well, maybe it hasn't been fun exactly, but it has been novel.
00:41:08Having a beautiful house and nice clothes and a car, if you know what I mean.
00:41:16You're awfully sweet, Pansy.
00:41:19And you're very pretty.
00:41:23I'd miss you.
00:41:25Yeah, but you'd miss other people now.
00:41:27Don't worry about that.
00:41:28It's time I did a little serious work.
00:41:30If I stayed at home more nights, I'd be a better lawyer today.
00:41:35But if I went, you could get them back.
00:41:36No, things are going very well.
00:41:39And they'll go better the more we get used to each other.
00:41:42Does that mean you'd ever really get to like me?
00:41:45It means the more I know you, the more I do like you.
00:41:49Yeah, but you ought to go places sometimes.
00:41:53I heard you telling that Mr. Crogby over the telephone that you wouldn't have dinner with him Saturday night.
00:41:58Well...
00:41:59Well, I wish you would.
00:42:02It wouldn't make me feel as if I was standing between you and your friends if you went places sometimes.
00:42:13You're not standing between me and my friends, Pansy?
00:42:16Yes, I am.
00:42:19Very well.
00:42:21I'll ask some of them here to dinner just to prove it.
00:42:23Sir, they won't come.
00:42:25Of course they will.
00:42:27You want to take a bet on it?
00:42:30All right.
00:42:32All right, what do you bet?
00:42:34Well, I'll bet you my first month's alimony.
00:42:37No, you can't be serious.
00:42:39Well, I'll bet you a new tie and I'll let you pick it out yourself.
00:42:42Ah, splendid.
00:42:42That'll be the first time in history a woman's ever done that.
00:42:45Sir.
00:42:49Wilmington 1624.
00:42:51You going to ask Mr. Saxon?
00:42:53Oh, I don't know.
00:42:54Yes.
00:42:58Why?
00:42:59Well, I think he's nice.
00:43:00I feel sort of comfortable with him.
00:43:04All right.
00:43:21Oh, how do you do?
00:43:28My husband will be down in a minute.
00:43:30I've been wondering when we were going to meet again.
00:43:34Mr. William Harvey.
00:43:37How do you do?
00:43:38How do you do?
00:43:44My husband will be down in a minute.
00:43:47Oh, that's all right.
00:43:49Good evening, Harry.
00:43:50Hello, Harry.
00:43:51Hello, Saxon.
00:43:53Well, my wife couldn't come.
00:43:54She had a cold.
00:43:55And at the last minute, she felt too bad to go out.
00:43:58We tried to phone, but the wire was busy.
00:44:01Oh.
00:44:04Cigarette?
00:44:08No, thanks.
00:44:10You, Harry?
00:44:12Oh, well.
00:44:14Hello, town. How are you?
00:44:15Hello.
00:44:17My wife sent her regrets.
00:44:19She's had a cold for a week.
00:44:20In the last minute, she decided that it would be better not to take any chances.
00:44:25So stayed at home.
00:44:26We called you on the phone, but nobody answered.
00:44:29I hope you'll be better soon.
00:44:32So many people have got cold these days.
00:44:35Yes.
00:44:36My dear, this is Mr. Tanner.
00:44:39How are you?
00:44:39How are you?
00:44:40Hello, Saxon, all night.
00:44:41Hello.
00:44:42Hello, Tanner.
00:44:42How are you?
00:44:43This is Malcolm.
00:44:46Kitty.
00:44:47Hello, my dear.
00:44:50Hansie.
00:44:51Yes, Kitty.
00:44:54Hello there.
00:44:55Hello, my dear.
00:44:56Mr. Crosby.
00:44:58Oh, Grant.
00:44:59Hello, Neil.
00:45:00That was nice of you.
00:45:02My dear.
00:45:03This is, uh, Grant Crosby.
00:45:06I'm very happy to meet you.
00:45:08How do you do?
00:45:09Well, come here.
00:45:12You have one?
00:45:19Very good help.
00:45:36Don't you want to move up, Tanner?
00:45:38Uh, no.
00:45:40This is the first time I've never went anywhere to dinner.
00:45:43I didn't have to entertain a lady on each side.
00:45:45I can eat instead of talk.
00:45:47I can't let us interrupt you.
00:45:51The brother's been distinguishing himself lately.
00:45:54Won two important cases last week.
00:45:57Yes, I know.
00:45:58I'm so proud of him.
00:46:00Eh?
00:46:01Oh.
00:46:02Nonsense.
00:46:03How do you manage to keep such a good cook?
00:46:08Oh.
00:46:09Oh, by...
00:46:10by talking back to us sometimes, I guess.
00:46:13Your husband should appreciate your elephants.
00:46:16Yes, sir.
00:46:19I suppose...
00:46:21Are you very happy?
00:46:27Yes.
00:46:40You come to lunch with me one day, Mrs. Dunlap.
00:46:43Mrs. Dunlap will do nothing of the sort.
00:46:46She knows I'd be jealous.
00:46:46Mrs. Dunlap.
00:46:49You're kidding.
00:46:52Does your husband ever go to New York?
00:46:55Sure.
00:46:57Sure, sometimes.
00:47:00Well, I want to date you up for the next time he's away.
00:47:04Oh, I'm going with him.
00:47:07Where do you stay when you're in New York?
00:47:10Oh.
00:47:11Dunlap always goes to the same hotel I do, Dr. Graham.
00:47:15Oh.
00:47:16Most Wilmington people do.
00:47:18You are not ill, are you?
00:47:21No.
00:47:22No, why?
00:47:24You are white as my handkerchief.
00:47:26Drink your champagne.
00:47:27Don't let me go.
00:47:35I'm notِ the same hotel...
00:47:35ah...
00:47:37There's a bet, then.
00:47:40Ah, that's better.
00:47:42That's better.
00:47:43Yeah.
00:47:44Yeah.
00:48:08I have a new gardener who promises to me tomatoes in February.
00:48:12Kitty, will you and Pansy have your coffee here or in the other room?
00:48:17Here, dear, if you don't mind.
00:48:18Neil! Neil! Make this fella keep his hands off me!
00:48:23What did you say?
00:48:24Sit down, be quiet. He didn't mean anything.
00:48:27I know what he meant, all right, the dirty drunk.
00:48:30Neil, you come here and throw him out.
00:48:34You come down here and throw him out for insulting your wife.
00:48:38You have had too much to drink. Be quiet, please.
00:48:40You better go, Harvey.
00:48:41That's right. That's right. I told him if he had his dirty hands off me and his dirty mouth shut,
00:48:48he'd throw him out.
00:48:49Sorry I got playful, Dunlap.
00:48:51I didn't think your wife was so easily teased.
00:48:54Yes, you better go.
00:48:56Well, you're not yourself. You better come upstairs. Come.
00:48:58I'm all, I'm all right.
00:48:59No, Panty.
00:49:00I'm, I'm, I'm...
00:49:02Please.
00:49:03It was all his fault.
00:49:05It was his fault.
00:49:06It was too rough.
00:49:07Nevertheless, I want you to come upstairs.
00:49:09Come.
00:49:09All right, I'll go.
00:49:10I just wanted to have a little fun, that's all.
00:49:14Yes, yes, yes.
00:49:14But come on.
00:49:15Nice fun.
00:49:16And everything went, went bluey.
00:49:19No, Panty, you've got to go upstairs now.
00:49:20Yes, that I want you to...
00:49:21Oh, I'm really alone.
00:49:22I'm all right.
00:49:26Don't look at me like that.
00:49:29I can't stand it when you look at me like I was dead.
00:49:36I'm not dead, please.
00:49:39I'm just, just a little squirt, that's all.
00:49:49Good night, Mr. Crosby.
00:49:54Good night, Mrs. Malcolm.
00:49:57All right, let me help you out.
00:49:59Don't worry all about us.
00:50:00Come along.
00:50:01Oh, I'm fine.
00:50:02I hope it wasn't my grandmother's face.
00:50:05No, no, let me help you.
00:50:06Come.
00:50:07I'm all right.
00:50:09I can go upstairs and come on my floor.
00:50:13Oh, Neil.
00:50:15Neil.
00:50:16Tell Mason I'll have my coffee served in my, my bedroom.
00:50:41Me, he's late.
00:50:42If he's coming at all.
00:50:44He accepted?
00:50:44I know, but under the circumstances.
00:50:46Of course, he may be feeling very sorry for her today.
00:50:49Or very bitter.
00:50:52Mr. Neil Dunder.
00:50:58Hello, dear.
00:50:59Hello, dear.
00:51:02I'm so sorry I'm late.
00:51:04You're not very late.
00:51:05Aren't I?
00:51:05No.
00:51:06Aren't you going to speak to me, Neil?
00:51:12Maybe he's waiting to be introduced.
00:51:17Hello.
00:51:19Uncle Grant's got to let us sit next to each other.
00:51:23Perfectly proper.
00:51:24Now that we aren't married to each other any longer.
00:51:37I'll have some more coffee.
00:51:39Yes, madam, I want to.
00:51:41You don't want to play bridge, do you?
00:51:43Not if I don't have to.
00:51:44You don't have to.
00:51:47I don't suppose Uncle Grant would have asked you if he'd known I was coming.
00:51:52I didn't really expect to see you, but I wanted to.
00:51:58Why?
00:52:02Because I've thought of you so much, I suppose.
00:52:06I can't help being glad my husband isn't here.
00:52:09He's jealous.
00:52:16Uncle Grant doesn't seem to think you're very happy, Neil.
00:52:20Really?
00:52:23Darling, why did you have to go and marry that sort of woman?
00:52:25Thank you, Neil.
00:52:37Thank you, Neil.
00:52:47Thank you, Neil.
00:52:58Neil!
00:53:01Neil!
00:53:09You up?
00:53:11Yeah, I couldn't sleep. I want to talk to you.
00:53:14It's late.
00:53:16Yeah, but I wanted to tell you how that happened last night.
00:53:21I need you go into all that.
00:53:24Oh, Neil.
00:53:28Neil, why didn't you sit next to me and help me?
00:53:34A husband doesn't usually sit next to his wife at a dinner party.
00:53:38He passes that honor on to one of his guests.
00:53:40Oh.
00:53:42I didn't know.
00:53:44It wasn't your fault.
00:53:47I expected too much.
00:53:49Good night.
00:53:50Yesterday you liked me a little.
00:53:52Oh, you're all right.
00:53:55But I'm tired. I don't want to talk any more tonight.
00:53:57Yeah, but I've got a lot of things I want to say to you.
00:54:00You've just got to listen.
00:54:03Oh, all right.
00:54:11I know it's one thing for a man to be nice to a girl when he's tight.
00:54:17And I know it's another thing for him to wake up and find himself married to a...
00:54:23You weren't to blame.
00:54:25I never blamed you, did I?
00:54:28Oh, no, not in so many words.
00:54:30But I want to tell you why I stuck.
00:54:33I didn't leave you because...
00:54:37Well...
00:54:39I fell in love with you.
00:54:42That's why I hung on to you.
00:54:44And now I want another chance.
00:54:46The other day I told you you could be free if you wanted to be.
00:54:51Because I loved you.
00:54:53But now tonight I want to stay...
00:54:56Because I love you.
00:55:01You don't expect me to drive you out into the snow tonight, do you?
00:55:06Oh, don't be funny.
00:55:09It means everything to me.
00:55:22Mrs. Neal Bell.
00:55:25Are you sure?
00:55:31Ask her to come in.
00:55:32And see that I am not interrupted.
00:55:46Hello.
00:55:47Hello.
00:55:51I bet you're surprised to see me here, aren't you?
00:55:54Surprised? Delighted.
00:55:57Sit down.
00:55:59Thanks.
00:56:11Smoke?
00:56:12Thanks.
00:56:18There.
00:56:20Get it?
00:56:21Yes.
00:56:27Now?
00:56:29What?
00:56:30You have something to tell me.
00:56:32I am waiting to hear what it is.
00:56:35Yes, I have.
00:56:37I came to apologize to you for the way I acted the other night.
00:56:41Oh.
00:56:41Why should you?
00:56:44I acted like any cheap...
00:56:46Oh, nonsense.
00:56:48Oh, I know.
00:56:50Drinking too much and screaming at Mr. Harvey and passing out.
00:56:55That's not the way Mrs. Neal Dunlap ought to act.
00:56:58I don't act that way either.
00:57:01I made up my mind I'm never gonna get that lit again.
00:57:04I wouldn't think anymore about it if I were you.
00:57:06I wish I didn't have to.
00:57:08But I don't want you or any of the people that were at the party the other night to think
00:57:11that that's the kind of thing that goes on all the time because it doesn't.
00:57:17I'm making the rounds now to apologize to all of us.
00:57:22I'm sorry to hear that.
00:57:25I hoped you'd come to me because you felt some particular sympathy between us.
00:57:31I don't get that.
00:57:33I like you.
00:57:36The main thing is for you to keep on liking him you and Mr. Harvey.
00:57:40I don't matter.
00:57:41May not be here much longer anyhow.
00:57:44What does that mean?
00:57:46Well, Neal's what everybody would call a gentleman, isn't he?
00:57:50And I'm certainly not what anybody call a lady.
00:57:53So it's plain to me I ought to get out even though he doesn't tell me how he wants me
00:57:57to.
00:57:58Perhaps your marriage was a mistake.
00:58:01Perhaps it would be better if you left him.
00:58:05Yeah, that's what I thought.
00:58:07Better for him.
00:58:08And better for you, too.
00:58:10He's not the only man in the world, Pansy.
00:58:13Well, he's the only one I care anything about.
00:58:16That's what you think now.
00:58:18But you are wrong.
00:58:20I am the man for you.
00:58:22You?
00:58:23We are outsiders, you and I.
00:58:26You have danced half-naked on the stage.
00:58:28I have black shoes, sewed papers, and run a saloon.
00:58:32And even if I am rich now, and even if you are Neal Dunlop's wife,
00:58:36these people here will always look down on us both.
00:58:39So leave him.
00:58:41Leave him.
00:58:42Leave him while he is still ashamed of you.
00:58:44And come to me.
00:58:46I will not look down on you.
00:58:50I'll...
00:58:52I like you.
00:58:54I...
00:58:59You let me alone!
00:59:01You do that again and I'll teach you how to treat your friend's wife,
00:59:04you double-faced, cheap woman chaser!
00:59:06Stop!
00:59:06Please, stop it!
00:59:07You let me alone, I'll be out of here!
00:59:08No, you've got to listen now!
00:59:09No!
00:59:09Tell us there's somebody who wants to hear it!
00:59:21No!
00:59:21Won't you ask me to sit down?
00:59:24All right.
00:59:25Sit down if you've got something to say.
00:59:27Mr. Dunlop will be here any minute now.
00:59:30I didn't come to see your husband.
00:59:33I came to make you listen to something I want you to know.
00:59:37Well, being as how I'm in my own home,
00:59:40I can't very well help myself.
00:59:42When you don't get fresh, I might get mad again.
00:59:46Won't you sit down, please?
00:59:49Or must I stand too?
00:59:53Oh, all right.
01:00:00I'm listening.
01:00:05I'm in love with you.
01:00:09I told you not to get fresh.
01:00:11No, please, don't be a fool.
01:00:14And for heaven's sake, don't be a fool.
01:00:17Of course, I know what you're thinking.
01:00:19You think it's funny for a girl who came from a burlesque show,
01:00:23or worse, to object to being insulted,
01:00:25because you know that's what you do when you're insulting me.
01:00:28Funny or not, I'm not going to stand for it.
01:00:34No, my dear.
01:00:36It's not an insult.
01:00:38I want to marry you, you little idiot.
01:00:43You want to marry me?
01:00:45Yes, and now will you listen to what I want to tell you?
01:00:51I got a husband.
01:00:52Oh, you are not really his wife.
01:00:54You are just here, accidentally.
01:00:58Yeah, that's right.
01:00:59But I'm here.
01:01:01While it makes me feel better to know that you think well enough of me to want me to be
01:01:06your wife.
01:01:08If you meant it.
01:01:09I did mean it, and you know it.
01:01:11And I am sober.
01:01:13Well, it's not right of you to throw up to me that he wasn't.
01:01:18No, please, I'm sorry.
01:01:20Forget it, please.
01:01:24We might just as well drop the subject.
01:01:27Not until I've said what I came to say.
01:01:30You've said enough.
01:01:32I admit you sounded sincere.
01:01:34And if you were...
01:01:37Well...
01:01:37Maybe I might take back some of those things I said to you yesterday.
01:01:42Oh, I can't see how I could have said anything else.
01:01:45Neither do I, knowing you as I know you now.
01:01:49For you are not just anybody's woman, Nancy.
01:01:54Get a nice fellow, Mr. Saxon, but don't come here anymore.
01:01:57Goodbye.
01:02:05Why shouldn't he come here anymore?
01:02:08Well, if you've been listening, you'll know.
01:02:12I've been making love to your wife.
01:02:15I've had my face left as I deserve, and been told to get out.
01:02:22You're behaving a little too well for me to believe that all.
01:02:25It's not all, quite.
01:02:27Your wife may tell you the rest if she likes.
01:02:30But don't expect any apologies.
01:02:33I have none.
01:02:59Saxon's not a drunken brute like Harvey.
01:03:01It's not possibly big love to my wife.
01:03:03Same, but don't expect any more.
01:03:04Unless he thought you wanted him to.
01:03:06Well, he found out I didn't.
01:03:09You apologized for something you said to him yesterday.
01:03:12Did he deliberately come here yesterday to see you?
01:03:15Or did he come to see me?
01:03:17And did you decide to amuse him?
01:03:20He didn't come here yesterday to see anybody.
01:03:22I went to his office.
01:03:22Oh.
01:03:23Oh, now we're getting somewhere.
01:03:25What possible reason could you think up for going to his office?
01:03:28I went to apologize.
01:03:30I went to everybody who was here that night, including your sister,
01:03:33to apologize for the way I acted.
01:03:35Including Harvey?
01:03:36Yeah, including Harvey.
01:03:37I got their addresses from your secretary.
01:03:39They're all fine about it, too, except Mr. Saxon.
01:03:42Just what did Saxon do?
01:03:44Well, you heard him say that he got his face slapped
01:03:47and he deserved it, didn't you?
01:03:50I don't believe he deserved it.
01:03:52You mean I'm to blame?
01:03:53Certainly.
01:03:54I told you I couldn't help it.
01:03:56You could keep out of men's offices.
01:03:59You could use a little common sense.
01:04:00I'm sorry.
01:04:02I thought I was doing it for you.
01:04:04What you've done for me is to make a pretty mess of things all around.
01:04:07Saxon's my best client.
01:04:08He pays me more than all my other business put together.
01:04:11Oh, I see.
01:04:13This makes it hard for you to keep on working for him, I suppose.
01:04:16Still, I don't know if he'd feel that way about it.
01:04:19Supposing you did lose his head for a moment.
01:04:21Why'd you have to make a scene?
01:04:22Such things happen?
01:04:24A woman with any taste or tact would have known how to put him in his place, have laughed at
01:04:28him.
01:04:28Not got hysterical and tragic about it, and slapped his face.
01:04:32For a woman with your experience in life, you do seem a bit particular.
01:04:35Oh, how can you?
01:04:35How can you talk to me like that?
01:04:36What do you expect me to say?
01:04:37Just because Saxon pays for more money than all the rest of your crimes put together,
01:04:40you think he's got a right to make love to your wife?
01:04:42Nonsense.
01:04:43If he knew all he'd done for me, you'd know he'd not make love to my wife, unless she asked
01:04:46for it.
01:04:47Suppose he tried to kiss your first wife.
01:04:49Would you want her to laugh at all?
01:04:51Don't be absurd.
01:04:52She'd never have gone to his office in the first place.
01:04:54Oh, I see.
01:04:54She's too fine, I suppose.
01:04:57Well, you didn't think much of her the first time I talked to you?
01:04:59We'll not discuss that.
01:05:00Anyhow, what right have you got to blame me when your friends don't behave themselves?
01:05:03How can I blame Saxon?
01:05:06He came to the hotel the morning after we were married,
01:05:09and made me feel there was some hope for us.
01:05:11You know how narrow-minded most people are.
01:05:13You know where the stories in the papers were?
01:05:14Why, he didn't even want me to read them.
01:05:16But Saxon was broad-minded.
01:05:18He made me see we might rise above the guilty publicity of a drunken elopement.
01:05:23Maive made me feel he admired me for daring to be so reckless.
01:05:27Then and there, he gave me all his law business.
01:05:29What?
01:05:29Yes.
01:05:30And I can't believe he wants to prove himself a bad prophet.
01:05:33I can't believe there's any reason why you should order him to keep away from this house.
01:05:37Any reason other than your own indiscretion and your rather silly sense of propriety.
01:05:42That's why I blame you instead of him.
01:06:12Oh.
01:06:14Good client and good humor.
01:06:15Well, I wanted to say these things.
01:06:16I tell you that Saxon...
01:06:17Lay off, Saxon!
01:06:19Saxon's all right.
01:06:20Everything's straight between him and I.
01:06:21Well, stop it!
01:06:23I've got to talk and I won't listen.
01:06:24All right, listen to this.
01:06:26There's a gutter name for men who aren't too choosy about the way they get their money.
01:06:29How dare you talk to me like that?
01:06:31How dare you?
01:06:32Oh, what a sap I've been.
01:06:34What a sap!
01:06:35Thinking myself not good enough for a man like you.
01:06:38Kitting myself into believing that it was wonderful just to be around such a great guy.
01:06:42Even praying that someday I'd be fit for you.
01:06:45Well, instead of me not being good enough for you, you're not good enough for me.
01:06:49See?
01:06:50And I'm through!
01:07:10My wife has left me.
01:07:12So?
01:07:15I don't know what you meant by trying to make love to my wife.
01:07:21You would like an explanation?
01:07:23If you please.
01:07:26First tell me, why she left you?
01:07:29That's not your business.
01:07:30I was only curious.
01:07:32I know of no reason why you should have quarreled.
01:07:35At least you have no reason to quarrel with her since she behaved as any woman of irreproachable character should
01:07:41have behaved under the same circumstance.
01:07:43Then you admit that she was justified in slapping your face.
01:07:45Completely.
01:07:48I misjudged her.
01:07:50I couldn't believe you capable of deliberately insulting my wife.
01:07:54That I did not do.
01:07:55But you just said.
01:07:57Why did you come here, Dunlop?
01:07:59I came here to ask you if you made love to my wife without any encouragement on her part.
01:08:04And if I did?
01:08:05I came to ask you to find another attorney and then trash you.
01:08:09But in one breath you admit that she was justified in slapping your face.
01:08:12And in the next you deny you insulted her.
01:08:14It is very simple.
01:08:16I was not insulting her when I tried to kiss her.
01:08:19But since I tried against her will, she was perfectly right.
01:08:23Why did you try to kiss her if you didn't mean to insult her?
01:08:26And me as well.
01:08:28Do you think she'd keep quiet?
01:08:30Or did you have some idea that I'd let you get away with a thing like that?
01:08:32That's good I happened to be taking your money.
01:08:35I kissed her because I lost my head.
01:08:38I suddenly knew that I was in love with her.
01:08:42What?
01:08:43Is that so hard to believe?
01:08:46She was so lovely.
01:08:48Yes, but...
01:08:48Oh, don't be a blind fool, Dunlop.
01:08:51In every word she said, it was plain.
01:08:54She knew you cared nothing for her.
01:08:55So I asked her to leave you and marry me.
01:09:00I can hardly believe that.
01:09:02She couldn't be there at first.
01:09:04I don't know what she told you.
01:09:07But she behaved magnificently.
01:09:22Hello, Kitty.
01:09:23Hello, dear.
01:09:24Cold out?
01:09:26Yes, it is very.
01:09:28Anything important happen today?
01:09:30What do you mean?
01:09:31You asked me to be home by five o'clock, you said.
01:09:34Oh, yes.
01:09:35I particularly want you home early today.
01:09:37Someone's coming.
01:09:38Hansy?
01:09:39Hansy?
01:09:41She'd hardly come here.
01:09:42Why did you ask?
01:09:44Have you heard from her?
01:09:46No.
01:09:49Well...
01:09:49What have you heard?
01:09:52I've heard nothing.
01:09:54Directly.
01:09:54I wish you'd stop thinking about her.
01:09:59Well, who is coming?
01:10:01See you in a minute.
01:10:02As I've promised to leave you alone, I'll go.
01:10:12Ah.
01:10:23Did Catherine tell you I was coming?
01:10:26no
01:10:29I told her not to
01:10:31there's something delightfully improper
01:10:33meeting one's ex-husband more or less

01:13:26they have been so very nice to you
01:13:29yeah they have
01:13:30and then
01:13:31not so hard to be nice to you
01:13:34oh I don't know
01:13:37but a smart dressmaking shop
01:13:38is certainly the place
01:13:40for a girl to learn the ropes
01:13:41all right
01:13:43mrs. Herman took me in hand
01:13:44right at the start
01:13:45deviled me into going to a voice teacher
01:13:47so I could learn the kind of English
01:13:49that wouldn't get on the customer's nerves
01:13:52to tell you the truth
01:13:54mrs. Herman was just as green
01:13:57I should say crude
01:14:00as I was years ago
01:14:02we were in a show together once
01:14:04she hadn't remembered me
01:14:06I never would have got that job
01:14:07at Herman
01:14:14I'm doing all the talking
01:14:19what are you looking at me
01:14:20like that for?
01:14:20what's she like that for?
01:14:38what's she like that for?
01:14:50I think I'll see why my call hasn't come through.
01:14:56Will you look at the paper while I tell the operator what I think of her?
01:15:00Yes, thanks, but don't be too severe with her.
01:15:03Maybe the long distance is doing a rushing business tonight.
01:15:07It's only a little past half past eight.
01:15:08All the same, my secretary is waiting and there is no excuse.
01:15:12Can you see in these lights?
01:15:14Well, put on that lamp. I'll sit over here.
01:15:20Oh, that's not enough.
01:15:22Oh, here's another one.
01:15:27Uh-oh. I think it's burned out.
01:15:30Oh, well, it ain't all right. I can see fine.
01:15:53People are writing books about love every day, Nancy.
01:15:57They don't know what it is.
01:15:59I guess that's right.
01:16:02What have we done on this subject?
01:16:04A great doctor in Vienna says,
01:16:06love is an attraction strangely related to memory.
01:16:11I guess that's true, too.
01:16:15I never intended to talk about it tonight,
01:16:19but since I've begun, you've got to listen.
01:16:24There is something I've always wanted to tell you,
01:16:27but I didn't because I was afraid it wouldn't interest you.
01:16:32But now it may.
01:16:36Four years ago, I saw you at the first time on the stage.
01:16:42I didn't know then that you were doing anything to my heart.
01:16:51And now, for the eight-year time,
01:16:56I'm asking you,
01:17:00marry me.
01:17:14I'm getting sort of cold all over.
01:17:20There's a fan on somewhere.
01:17:23I'll turn it up.
01:17:31Pardon me.
01:17:33Pardon me.
01:17:46Pardon me.
01:18:12I hope you don't mind my turning on this fan, Bill.
01:18:14Can you hear me?
01:18:16They're so deaf, I'll have to shout.
01:18:19I wanted to tell you how miserable I've been
01:18:21since my wife left me.
01:18:25I never realized how much I loved her
01:18:27till she went away.
01:18:39Neil.
01:18:42Neil!
01:18:43Neil!
01:18:46I must be you.
01:18:48I want to talk to you.
01:19:05Wait a minute.
01:19:06Wait a minute.
01:19:19My dear.
01:19:41Are you there, Johnson?
01:19:45Cancel my order for that yacht.
01:19:48I won't need it after all.
01:19:54Cancel my order for that yacht.
01:19:59I won't need it after all.
