00:29Boy, what a setup.
00:30What a love story.
00:31A great love story.
00:33A baby brings them together, splits them apart, brings them together again.
00:36Boy, beats girls.
00:37Boy, loses girls.
00:38Boy, gets girls.
00:39Boy, I think you've got something.
00:41Let's try it out on V.K. while it's hot.
00:43Wait a minute.
00:43You can't act with a baby.
00:45They steal every seat.
00:46Are you selling motherhood shorts?
00:48Come on.
00:49Come on.
00:50Oh, don't make fun of me.
00:52Fun?
00:53Well, I've never been so touched in all my life.
00:55Susie, I feel purified.
00:57Susie, can we be godfather?

00:59Do I mean it?
01:00Just you say yes and see how quick I'll get Hellinger to print Benson and Law are godfathering in June.
01:06I got Larry Toms waiting in your office to hear your story.

01:36I was a promising young novelist.
01:37Almost won the Pulitzer Prize in 1930.
01:40And now in 1938, I'm writing dialogue for a horse.
01:43Listen!
01:44Larry, take a deep breath.
01:45The boys mean no harm.
01:49Exhale.
01:51I smell carbon exhaust.
01:53One more crack!
01:54I think you're very intelligent.
01:56Oh, I'm intelligent?
01:58But I don't know anything.
02:00Tiger Tamer!
02:01There it is right in the corner.
02:02Tiger Tamer by J. Carlisle Benson and Robert Law.
02:05That's a forgery!
02:06Benson, we've been framed!
02:07Why, you...
02:08This is the last prank you boys will ever play.
02:10I don't know anything.
02:44I don't know anything.
02:45I don't know anything.
