00:00The End

00:41What would you do if the man you lived for, longed for, suddenly invited you to his marriage to another

00:48woman?

00:50Why, I won the consolation prize, didn't I? I'm going to be a bridesmaid.

00:55Now look, Amy, cut it out. Stop being noble. Go ahead and cry.

00:59If there's anything in the world I hate, it's a noble woman.

01:01I'll be as noble as I like.

01:03No, you won't. Now stop it.

01:04Jimmy, leave me alone.

01:06Would you go to the wedding and watch your happiness drift slowly away?

01:10And because your heart was filled with yearning, would you get just a little tight?

01:14Congratulations.

01:15Thank you, Mimi.

01:16I hope you'll be very unhappy.

01:19What?

01:20I mean it. Because anything I wish for never comes true.

01:24Oh, I'm not a nice girl, Alan. I tried every trick in the bag to be the bride.

01:32But I'm this nice.

01:36I'm perfectly willing to warn you.

01:40When you come back, I wouldn't have anything to do with a girl like me if I were you.

01:47Would you give up your love forever?

01:49Or would you keep on carrying the torch, hoping someday to reclaim what you believed was rightfully yours?

01:55You want to know something?

01:57When Alan comes back, I'll be waiting for it.

01:59Ah, now you're talking, Lassie.

02:02And listen, he doesn't need any guardian, that lad.

02:05He'll get a nice piece of change out of her all for himself.

02:07You leave it to him.

02:08Why, what could be sweeter? It's made to order.

02:12I don't like you.

02:14Why don't you lay off Mimi?

02:16Why don't I punch you right in the nose?

02:18Well, why don't you?

02:19I think I will.

02:21Gentlemen, gentlemen, please.

02:22It'll only take a minute, Gus.

02:24Quit stalling.

02:25And how about the other woman?

02:27When she proved to you with cold, blistering facts that the man you loved never loved you, could you?

02:33Would you take it?

02:35On our honeymoon, I knew, oh, right away that Alan didn't love me.

02:40Women can hide the way they feel, but men can't.

02:44That's not very pretty, is it?

02:46I knew there'd be a parade of women since he'd be trying to find love someplace.

02:52But to offset that, they wouldn't have any of his heart.

02:56Because he had none to give them.
