00:00:12The End
00:01:18Ladies and gentlemen, we are gathered here this afternoon for the purpose of selling
00:01:23the affix of Mr. William Hale, who is leaving Africa for England tomorrow.
00:01:29Assuming the sale is successful.
00:01:31Lot number one.
00:01:32A wonderful piece of furniture.
00:01:34A genuine antique.
00:01:35What am I offered?
00:01:36Ten.
00:01:37Thirteen.
00:01:38Seventeen.
00:01:38Twenty.
00:01:39Twenty-five.
00:01:40Hey, I only paid a tenner for it myself.
00:01:42Please, Mr. Hale.
00:01:44Twenty-five was the last offer.
00:01:45Do I air thirty for this genuine antique?
00:01:48Thirty.
00:01:48Thirty-five.
00:01:49Come on down from there.
00:01:53This is my sale, and I wish to make a speech.
00:01:56Thank you, Mr. Hale.
00:01:57Oh, come out of it.
00:02:04Ladies and gentlemen, we are gathered here today to take part in the regrettable failure
00:02:10of one William Hale.
00:02:11You're not a failure, Willie.
00:02:15Angel.
00:02:17The failure of the aforementioned W. Hale may be attributed to horses with short noses,
00:02:24good cards, but not good enough.
00:02:26Good luck, old man.
00:02:27Nonsense.
00:02:29But it is obvious that many of you are here today prepared to pay out a friendship for
00:02:33me, prices far beyond the value of the articles to be sold.
00:02:36Sold all!
00:02:39Yes, yes.
00:02:41And believe me, my friends, I am grateful.
00:02:43But it cannot be.
00:02:44And so that you are not cheated, I am going to be the auctioneer.
00:02:47Bravo!
00:02:51Lut number one.
00:02:52Even if this piece of furniture would have lived another thousand years, it will never
00:02:55be an antique.
00:02:56How much am I paid?
00:02:56Nine.
00:02:57Ten.
00:02:58Fifteen.
00:02:59Who said nine?
00:03:00Fifteen.
00:03:01Who said nine?
00:03:02I did.
00:03:03For the third and last time, it's yours.
00:03:06Oh, no.
00:03:06Well, you can't.
00:03:09Lut number two.
00:03:12Here we have the bed occupied by one W. Hale during the entire two years of his life
00:03:18in East Africa.
00:03:18How much?
00:03:19With or without the owner?
00:03:21Without.
00:03:22Sixpence.
00:03:26For such a charming compliment, it's yours.
00:03:29And I'll chuck in a couple of blankets.
00:03:32Five pounds.
00:03:33Eight.
00:03:33Ten.
00:03:34Twelve.
00:03:35Forty.
00:03:35Who said ten?
00:03:37I did.
00:03:38It's yours.
00:03:39I've always wanted you to sleep in it.
00:03:41Part number three.
00:03:44Here, if I may say so, is the ugliest piece of furniture ever born into the world.
00:03:49How much?
00:03:50One pound.
00:03:51Two.
00:03:51Three.
00:03:52Four.
00:03:53Five.
00:03:57Five.
00:03:58Five.
00:03:58Eight.
00:03:59Nine.
00:04:04Nine.
00:04:04Ten, nine.
00:04:13Nine.
00:04:15Five.
00:04:19Nine.
00:04:23Nine.
00:04:23Dr.
00:04:23for the misfortune, darling.
00:04:24I knew it.
00:04:26What's the scoundrel been doing now?
00:04:28Read it.
00:04:29Lord Leland's son sells himself up in East Africa.
00:04:32I knew it.
00:04:33I told him this was the last chance I'd give him.
00:04:36Go on, what's it say?
00:04:36What's it say?
00:04:37Mr. William Hale, youngest son of Lord Leland,
00:04:40conducted the sale of his furniture in person.
00:04:43He attributed his failure to horses with short noses,
00:04:47good cards, but not good enough.
00:04:49At the end of the sale, he informed his audience
00:04:52he was clear of death, his passage home,
00:04:55and a hundred pounds to play cards with him.
00:04:57The villain.
00:04:59I give him a house and furniture and he sells the lot.
00:05:03Never again.
00:05:04Father, darling, calm yourself.
00:05:05I won't calm myself.
00:05:07The scoundrel's been nothing but trouble
00:05:09since the day he was born.
00:05:11This is the tenth time I've given him another chance
00:05:14and he's failed me, but never again, never again, never.
00:05:18Never, never.
00:05:20If he, if he ever sets his foot in this house again,
00:05:24I'll, I'll kick him out.
00:05:26That's what I'll do.
00:05:27I'll, I'll personally kick him out, the villain.
00:05:31The infernal villain, I, hello, Jonathan.
00:05:35And Lord Leland in the role of the heavy father
00:05:37was tremendously effective.
00:05:39And I'll do it.
00:05:40Oh, dear.
00:05:41Ah, shh.
00:05:42Ah, you, you cheeky little devil, you.
00:05:51And who's going to get the order of the boot?
00:05:53Don't tell me, Arthur.
00:05:55You've been a bad boy.
00:05:56Hello, Dorothy.
00:05:57Hello, Arthur.
00:05:58No, I'm not the guilty one.
00:05:59It's little brother Willie.
00:06:01Well, after all, I, I do see the old boy's point of view.
00:06:04Yes, you would.
00:06:06Susan tells me that you're going to become engaged
00:06:09to the Grand Duke Paul.
00:06:10Yes.
00:06:11Well, he's a lucky fellow.
00:06:13I hope he makes you very happy.
00:06:16Will the future Grand Duchess take tea?
00:06:20Thanks.
00:06:21What's he like, this brother of yours?
00:06:23Willie?
00:06:24There's his photograph.
00:06:26Oh, he's a wicked, softest, irresponsible sort of a person.
00:06:31But I adore him.
00:06:34Oh, he is attractive, isn't he?
00:06:46Tired, old fellow?
00:06:48Well, you haven't much further to go.
00:07:11No, he's going to be so happy now.
00:07:11Sorry, sir.
00:07:12It's promised.
00:07:13Oh, my friend.
00:07:13We are living in a world of broken promises.
00:07:18Stay mean.
00:07:20How's yourself?
00:07:21Oh, not so bad, sir.
00:07:23Good.
00:07:25Thank you, sir.
00:07:27Now, old friend.
00:07:28Let's concentrate, eh?
00:07:30I want you to take these bags to Leland House, Grosvenor Square.
00:07:34Oh, I've driven his lordship there many times, sir.
00:07:37Oh, good. Well, I'm his son.
00:07:39Now, now, listen.
00:07:41My family doesn't yet know that their little pet is in England again.
00:07:44If my luggage arrived before I did,
00:07:47it would give them the opportunity of wasting a good deal of their rage on my luggage instead of on
00:07:50me.
00:07:52In fact, they might even be too exhausted to say anything to me at all.
00:07:56That's right, sir.
00:07:58But what do you think, eh?
00:08:00Oh, it's a grand idea, sir.
00:08:02Good. So you pop along with it, leave it, and say nothing.
00:08:08Righto, sir. Oh, much obliged, sir.
00:08:11We are obliged to each other.
00:08:12Not at all, sir.
00:08:13For sure.
00:08:13Over there, sir.
00:08:19Over there, sir.
00:08:20Over there, sir.
00:08:20All right, sir.
00:08:22Over there, sir.
00:08:23The plates are laying on the Derby paper!
00:08:26Yes, sir.
00:08:29For the ground?
00:08:29For the ground.
00:08:29...the lagoon is sure to win the Derby tomorrow, sir.
00:08:31I'll layer the odds of half a ground a dozen.
00:08:33Where do I draw me money, Governor?
00:08:35Leland House, Drovna Square.
00:08:38I'll be there tomorrow night, sir.
00:08:40Hey, don't you come if it loses.
00:08:42You bet your life I won't, sir.
00:09:05Well, George, my little fella, and how's yourself?
00:09:08The board would be in a shop window, eh?
00:09:10So would I be, bless your heart.
00:09:13What's that?
00:09:14He's a sportsman, and he'll take you out of it.
00:09:17Oh, I'm broke.
00:09:19Besides, what would I do with you if I did?
00:09:21You'd be no trouble, and you'd behave yourself.
00:09:24George, you lie to me.
00:09:26You know you'd be in awful lot of trouble.
00:09:29Don't keep on saying you wouldn't, because you couldn't help yourself.
00:09:33Oh, I tell you I'm broke.
00:09:35What's that?
00:09:36You're cheap?
00:09:41Just one minute.
00:09:44How much for George?
00:09:46The price is £15, sir.
00:09:50What do you mean by saying you were cheap?
00:09:53What's that?
00:09:56He says you've doubled his price because I look rich.
00:09:59Pedigree dog, sir.
00:10:00The price is £15.
00:10:03Good afternoon.
00:10:16I'm only twenty in the whole world, George.
00:10:19Yes, I know it would leave a five of it.
00:10:21I want to go to the Derby tomorrow.
00:10:23For heaven's sake, will you stop looking at me like that?
00:10:26Look here.
00:10:28If I offer him a tenner, and he refuses, will that satisfy you?
00:10:35Crush your heart.
00:10:42A tenner for George.
00:10:44I'm sorry, sir.
00:10:45The price is £15.
00:10:49Good afternoon, finally.
00:10:53Sorry, George, old fella, but he's as hard as nails.
00:10:58Goodbye, George.
00:11:00I'm sorry.
00:11:01I think we might have been good friends.
00:11:03Good luck.
00:11:04I'll pray you'll find a nice home.
00:11:07Sorry I can't, old fella.
00:11:09Must go to the Derby tomorrow.
00:11:10Goodbye.
00:11:12Good luck.
00:11:12Good luck.
00:11:18Good luck.
00:11:22Good luck.
00:11:23Oh
00:12:02Give me that dog, and may the Lord have mercy on your soul.
00:12:09Can I brush him?
00:12:10Oh, thanks.
00:12:15You're just a dirty little blackmailer, this is what you are.
00:12:25Taxi!
00:12:29Where are we going?
00:12:31We're going to my club for a whisky and soda, and then we're going to see a beautiful lady.
00:12:36Do you mind?
00:12:40Quite slow.
00:13:02Come on.
00:13:03Good Lord for service, Mr. Willie.
00:13:06Oh, sir, I am glad to see you.
00:13:09Where have you been these last two years?
00:13:11Oh, I've been getting about a bit, Molly.
00:13:13Won't Miss Mary be pleased to see you?
00:13:16Listen, hide behind that screen.
00:13:23You keep your mouth shut, do you hear?
00:13:30Oh, what an order.
00:13:34Oh, how sick I am of it.
00:13:37You'd hate to leave it for all of that.
00:13:41I wonder what's happened to Mr. Willie all this time.
00:13:44The beast hasn't sent me a message in nearly two months.
00:13:49Ring up his father's house and ask where a cable will find him.
00:13:51Save your money, lovey.
00:13:53Little Willie is here.
00:13:56Willie!
00:13:57Mary!
00:14:02You beast!
00:14:03Why didn't you tell me you were coming home?
00:14:05I shouldn't have seen how pleased you are to see me.
00:14:08My word, I'm delighted to see you.
00:14:11Oh, this is wonderful.
00:14:13Molly, go and tell them my understudy must go on for me tonight.
00:14:16But Miss, you...
00:14:17Go and tell them.
00:14:19And you, you're going to take me out to dinner.
00:14:21Oh, I can't think of anything I should like so much.
00:14:25Oh, I'm so glad to see you.
00:14:27Now, you get behind that screen.
00:14:30Get behind that screen and I'll best ever so quickly.
00:14:34Well, you'll like her.
00:14:36But it's just as well because you're going to see an awful lot of her.
00:14:51Well, Mr. Willie hasn't come home, my lord.
00:14:55There you are.
00:14:56He has his luggage centre at five o'clock yesterday afternoon.
00:15:01And here it is at half past nine the next morning and not a word.
00:15:04Not a sign of him.
00:15:06Perhaps he's met with an accident.
00:15:07Of course he's met with an accident.
00:15:10I only hope he'll marry her.
00:15:12And stay with her.
00:15:13But father...
00:15:14There are no buts.
00:15:15I won't stand it.
00:15:16The moment he sets his foot in this house, I'll kick him out.
00:15:21That's what I'll do.
00:15:23I'll jolly well kick him out.
00:15:31There he is now.
00:15:35Good morning, Blunt.
00:15:36Good morning, Miss.
00:15:37Is Miss Susan ready?
00:15:38Miss Susan's just finishing her breakfast, Miss.
00:15:43I'll kick him out.
00:15:44That's what I'll do.
00:15:46I'll kick him out.
00:15:48Am I interrupting the peace conference?
00:15:50Come in, Dorothy.
00:15:52You sure I'm not in the way?
00:15:53Hello, Dorothy.
00:15:55You could never be in the way.
00:15:57Well, well, well, they...
00:15:58They tell me tonight is the great night, eh?
00:16:02Well, I don't know about the great night.
00:16:04But I shall be what is known as officially engaged.
00:16:07And I shall be at the party
00:16:09For the express purpose of drinking to your health and happiness.
00:16:13Oh, that's divine of you, Lord Leland.
00:16:15Not at all.
00:16:16I'm very fond of you, my dear.
00:16:19I only wish you were going to marry this fellow.
00:16:21Really, father?
00:16:22This is most embarrassing to me.
00:16:24And to Dorothy.
00:16:25I don't care if it is.
00:16:26I'd like to have this girl for a daughter-in-law.
00:16:29You know why?
00:16:30I'm very unfortunate in my sons, Dorothy.
00:16:34This one's an unenterprising fellow.
00:16:36And the other, well, ha!
00:16:38A villain may come into the house at any moment.
00:16:43Willie's home.
00:16:44Or at least we think he is.
00:16:46His luggage arrived last night.
00:16:47Here it is, half past nine, the next day, and not a sign of him.
00:16:51Have you telephoned the police?
00:16:54Do you know Master Willie?
00:16:56No, I've never met him.
00:16:58Ah, well, if you had,
00:17:00you'd know that telephoning a policeman's wife would be more effective.
00:17:04A villain, my dear.
00:17:06And the moment he sets his foot in this house,
00:17:09I'll kick him out.
00:17:10I swear I will.
00:17:11I'll kick him out.
00:17:13Why, George, I will not.
00:17:26I'll kick him out.
00:17:26Oh, I'm sorry.
00:17:28Have no fear for the day.
00:17:29You look divine.
00:17:40Good morning.
00:17:41Good morning, sir.
00:17:44Blunt, my dear fellow, I'm glad to see you.
00:17:46And I'm delighted to see you, Mr. Willie.
00:17:48Well, well, well.
00:17:50Tell me, Blunt, how is my father?
00:17:53I should describe his lordship, sir,
00:17:55as a gentleman in uncontrollable rage.
00:17:58Oh, dear, dear, dear.
00:17:59And on my first morning, too.
00:18:01How very unfortunate.
00:18:02George.
00:18:05George, old fellow, I'm not going to take you with me
00:18:07because things are going to be said to me
00:18:09that might make you lose your regard for me.
00:18:12Blunt, would you describe me as looking penitent?
00:18:15Oh, yes, sir.
00:18:17Good.
00:18:18Courage, Willie.
00:18:34Father.
00:18:36I'm delighted to see you looking so well.
00:18:38Oh, Willie.
00:18:39George.
00:18:44You've no right to be delighted about anything.
00:18:48What are you doing here?
00:18:49I...
00:18:50And where were you last night?
00:18:52I, uh...
00:18:54Well...
00:18:55I, unfortunately, missed the boat train
00:18:57and had to spend the night in Liverpool.
00:19:00Your luggage was labelled all over
00:19:02passenger to Southampton.
00:19:04I know.
00:19:05But, uh...
00:19:05But I cheated and got out of Liverpool.
00:19:07Ah, don't...
00:19:08Don't laugh.
00:19:09Miss Condrell Dorothy.
00:19:11You'll follow me...
00:19:13To my study.
00:19:17Uh...
00:19:17Could I have some of the flatted calf first, Father?
00:19:20There'll be no flatted calf for you in this house, my friend.
00:19:23Well, uh...
00:19:24Could I have some bacon and eggs?
00:19:25No!
00:19:28Yes.
00:19:29Be quick about it.
00:19:31You'll find me in my study.
00:19:36Susan, my beloved!
00:19:38Oh, Willie, darling!
00:19:39I don't care.
00:19:39Oh, Willie, darling!
00:19:39I'm glad to see you.
00:19:40Oh, there you are.
00:19:41Looking sweeter and more beautiful than ever.
00:19:43Yes.
00:19:43And you, bolder and badder than ever.
00:19:48Oh, you don't know Dorothy, do you?
00:19:51How do you do?
00:19:53How do you do?
00:19:56Oh, Arthur.
00:19:57How are you?
00:19:58I'm all right.
00:19:58Good.
00:20:00I say, look at the time.
00:20:01Aren't you coming to the derby?
00:20:02Oh, I hate Gracie.
00:20:03So does Dorothy.
00:20:04We're going to Lodge to watch him play cricket.
00:20:06Oh, I see.
00:20:07All right.
00:20:09Back Laguna, Arthur.
00:20:10I would if I had your money to spare, Willie.
00:20:15Well, here we are.
00:20:16Home sweet home.
00:20:33What brought you home, Willie?
00:20:35Lack of means, darling.
00:20:36Haven't you any money at all?
00:20:37Uh-huh.
00:20:38Two pounds.
00:20:39Egg?
00:20:40Oh, oh.
00:20:42Father won't give you another penny, you know.
00:20:44And I think I ought to warn you.
00:20:46There's every chance he'll kick you out.
00:20:48Oh, how awful.
00:20:49I have money.
00:20:50I'll lend you some.
00:20:51Uh-huh.
00:20:52Father always taught me never to take money from women, Susan.
00:20:54But Willie, his lordship is waiting for you.
00:20:57I say, will you tell his lordship I'm just on the last egg and I'll be there in a tick?
00:21:00Oh, oh, oh.
00:21:05Dorothy what?
00:21:07Dorothy Hope.
00:21:09I read about you in a paper.
00:21:12Oh, you're going to be married, aren't you?
00:21:15Here's to your happiness.
00:21:16May I bring him to your party tonight?
00:21:19Of course.
00:21:20I say, do come in to the old man.
00:21:21He's in a tearing rage.
00:21:22Oh, I'm sorry.
00:21:27Well, I'll see you tonight.
00:21:28Willie, I must know what happened.
00:21:30We'll be waiting outside in the hall.
00:21:32Good.
00:21:33You ought to get a nice view from there of me and my luggage being thrown out.
00:21:36Good luck.
00:21:52Sit down.
00:21:54Thank you, sir.
00:21:55May I say, before you express an opinion of me,
00:21:57how glad I am to see you looking so well.
00:22:00I'm not so well.
00:22:01I'm sorry.
00:22:04Now, listen to me, Master Willie.
00:22:07I'm in no mood for flippancy.
00:22:09No more of my father, so we ought to get on splendidly.
00:22:11Aren't you ashamed of yourself?
00:22:13Ashamed?
00:22:14Why?
00:22:15Don't you realize that for the...
00:22:17for the tenth time you've disgraced me?
00:22:20Oh, come now.
00:22:21How can anything I do disgrace you?
00:22:23Ah, there's great egoism on your part, surely.
00:22:25Anything disgraceful that I may do merely gains for you
00:22:28an unfair sympathy from a sycophantic world.
00:22:32Didn't you sell the house and furniture I gave her?
00:22:35True.
00:22:36But surely the only disgraceful thing you did
00:22:37was to give me the house and furniture to sell.
00:22:39Phew.
00:22:40I agree.
00:22:41Well, then what are you getting so excited about?
00:22:43I'm not getting excited.
00:22:46Shall we say that you're taking life and me too seriously?
00:22:49Now, now let me... let me tell you, young man.
00:22:52You've been nothing but trouble since the day you were born.
00:22:55Well, now, as an intelligent man,
00:22:57I wonder you didn't anticipate that possibility.
00:23:00Now...
00:23:01Now you're blaming me for bringing you into the world.
00:23:05I should be extremely mortified for your sake
00:23:07if I had to blame anyone else.
00:23:16Why...
00:23:17Why can't you settle down like any other man
00:23:20and do some good in the world?
00:23:22My dear father, I do nothing else.
00:23:24Have you had a moment's boredom since I've been in the room?
00:23:27No.
00:23:28Huh?
00:23:29Your only trouble is you have the father complex.
00:23:31He's my son and he hasn't done any of the things
00:23:33I should like him to do
00:23:34and for that reason I should kick him out.
00:23:35There.
00:23:36And if I thought it would give you any pleasure,
00:23:38I'd provoke you to do it.
00:23:39But I know it wouldn't.
00:23:41You'd merely lay awake at night
00:23:42wondering if you'd done the wrong thing
00:23:44until you fetch me back again.
00:23:46So to save you from such an invidious position,
00:23:49I-I refrain from provoking you.
00:23:51He-he-he.
00:23:52And may I ask,
00:23:54what you'd do if I did kick you out?
00:24:01Any man with two pounds,
00:24:02a gold cigarette case,
00:24:04and a watch, father dear,
00:24:06could if he chose conquer the world.
00:24:08Good.
00:24:08And why...
00:24:10Why don't you?
00:24:12Well, it doesn't mean having to stay in one place too long.
00:24:15Well.
00:24:15And until the time comes
00:24:17when I find myself in one place for all time,
00:24:20I propose,
00:24:21either through your generosity,
00:24:24or my own wits,
00:24:26to move on and on.
00:24:28Yeah.
00:24:28But much...
00:24:30much against my intonation,
00:24:32I...
00:24:33I...
00:24:34Well, I'm bound to admit
00:24:35there's a good deal in what you say.
00:24:37Why, of course there is.
00:24:38Yes, hang it there.
00:24:40There is.
00:24:41Come now.
00:24:41All I've cost you in two years
00:24:43has been a house and some furniture.
00:24:44Yes?
00:24:45I haven't cheated at cards.
00:24:47I haven't wrecked another man's home.
00:24:48I've just had a bit of fun,
00:24:50which were I in your place...
00:24:52Yes?
00:24:53I shouldn't mind paying for it.
00:24:57Well...
00:24:59If anybody had told me a minute ago
00:25:03that I should be giving you a hundred pounds
00:25:06before you left this room,
00:25:09I used to bet them a thousand they were wrong.
00:25:15There.
00:25:18There you are.
00:25:21Take it and go to Brady's.
00:25:25And let me see a lot of you before you go.
00:25:29I feel this is taking advantage of you.
00:25:31Oh, you're wrong.
00:25:33I don't know why it is,
00:25:34but I...
00:25:35Well, I...
00:25:37I like giving it to you.
00:25:39You may be sure the money will be well spent, Father.
00:25:42Oh, well spent indeed.
00:25:46Oh, by the way,
00:25:48one good turn,
00:25:49deserving another.
00:25:51Back Laguna for the Derby.
00:25:52Why?
00:25:55Because I like you.
00:26:00Laguna.
00:26:03Well, there goes that hundred pounds.
00:26:08What happened?
00:26:08Well, he gave me a lecture.
00:26:09You know, his number one special.
00:26:11And a hundred.
00:26:12Oh, and I've been a good girl all my life,
00:26:14and he never gave me a penny.
00:26:16I will, though.
00:26:17A tenner out of this goes on Laguna for you,
00:26:18and a tenner for you.
00:26:20Why, I wouldn't dream of it.
00:26:21Oh, now, now, now.
00:26:22Come on.
00:26:22We're going to the tenner for you.
00:26:23To the Derby.
00:26:25But I can't.
00:26:26I thought I asked me to go,
00:26:27and I refuse.
00:26:27She can't go, Willie.
00:26:28Really, she can't.
00:26:29Her fiancé will be there,
00:26:30and he'd be furious if she went without him.
00:26:32Well, I've no use for a fiancé who goes without her.
00:26:34But they'll see her.
00:26:35There'll be awful trouble.
00:26:36No, no, they won't see her.
00:26:37Fuck it.
00:26:38We're going to the other side of the course,
00:26:40among the gypsies, the tramps,
00:26:41and all the real people.
00:26:42But, Willie, that's...
00:26:43Oh, do shut up, Susan.
00:26:44It sounds great fun, and I'm going.
00:26:45All right.
00:26:46Very well.
00:26:46Don't blame me if there's a row.
00:26:48Susan, behave.
00:26:49Mr. Willie.
00:26:50Mr. Willie.
00:26:51Mr. Willie.
00:26:52What about George?
00:26:54Blunt, will you look after him?
00:26:56And take good care of him.
00:26:59He's going to be a father.
00:27:01Please.
00:27:48Huff...
00:27:56I've been on the garage.
00:27:57So do I.
00:27:59I've been on the garage all my life.
00:28:20Go!
00:28:25Go!
00:28:26Go!
00:28:27Come on, look!
00:28:30Go!
00:28:33Go!
00:28:37No!
00:28:38No!
00:28:45That's no way!
00:28:47Oh, you can't hear it now, then.
00:28:51Come here.
00:29:10You're a couple of mean beasts leaving me alone all this time.
00:29:13Oh, darling, I'm terribly sorry, but honestly, I've been having such a marvelous time.
00:29:17I'm tired, I've forgotten everything.
00:29:20Oh, I have enjoyed my health.
00:29:22And I'm awfully grateful to you.
00:29:24Don't be absurd. Through you, I've had a grand day.
00:29:27Tell me, do you always have this much fun in life?
00:29:30I'm the richest man in the world.
00:29:31I laugh at myself and everything else 60 times a minute.
00:29:34If you want to back that horse, you'd better give me the money.
00:29:36I'll put it on for you.
00:29:37Oh, Angel.
00:29:39I've had my lunch.
00:29:42This is £50 for Willie.
00:29:45Ten for you and ten for Miss Hope on Laguna.
00:29:49I shan't take it if it wins.
00:29:51It's madness. Laguna hasn't a chance.
00:29:53I don't agree. I'm in luck today.
00:29:57I'll toss you for the last sausage roll.
00:30:00Heads I win, tails you lose.
00:30:05Tails, bad luck.
00:30:06I couldn't eat a thing.
00:30:08You sure? Because I cheated.
00:30:10Must do.
00:30:17Oh, there's Father in the box.
00:30:20And Paul.
00:30:22Oh, how bored they all look.
00:30:24Paul.
00:30:25That's your fiancé, isn't it?
00:30:26Yes.
00:30:27Can I have a look?
00:30:28Certainly.
00:30:33And they call that enjoying life.
00:30:36Perhaps they're right.
00:30:37Oh, I see.
00:30:42Is Paul the seller on the left?
00:30:46Yes.
00:30:47He's good-looking.
00:30:49He is, Robert.
00:30:52You know, when I leave you tonight,
00:30:53I shall pop into the first church I come to.
00:30:55What floor?
00:30:56To pray for your heaven.
00:30:58That's charming of us.
00:30:59Not at all.
00:31:00I've only known you a couple of minutes,
00:31:02but you go down in my diary as a grand girl.
00:31:04And I've only known you a couple of minutes,
00:31:06and I think you're a grand boy.
00:31:08That's a great old friend.
00:31:09That's a horrible sentence.
00:31:11That's a horrible sentence.
00:31:11Fifty dollars doesn't care for racing, isn't it, Paul?
00:31:13It is, rather.
00:31:15I tried to persuade her to come,
00:31:16but she preferred to see the cricket at Lord's.
00:31:18What a crowd there is on the other side of the course.
00:31:20Hm.
00:31:21One can only be grateful one isn't there.
00:31:22You'd say so.
00:31:25How is it that Dorothy is not with him today?
00:31:28If she had her way, she wouldn't be with him at all.
00:31:31Father, what's a grand duke in the family?
00:31:36I got you fifty to one.
00:31:38Oh, good.
00:31:39Let's see now.
00:31:39How much have I won?
00:31:40Fifty times fifty?
00:31:42Twenty five hundred.
00:31:44Not so bad.
00:31:44You haven't won yet.
00:31:46The bookmaker said it was a shame to take your money.
00:31:48I shan't think the same when I take his.
00:31:55Why do you like these glasses?
00:31:56No, no, you can't.
00:32:02Come on, tell us what's happening.
00:32:04Oh, my poor old fellow's a long way behind you.
00:32:07Oh, how sad.
00:32:08He's holding his own, though.
00:32:10He's doing more than holding his own.
00:32:13My word, what a jockey.
00:32:15He...
00:32:16He's fifth.
00:32:20Believe it or not, he's fourth.
00:32:22He's a breast of the third.
00:32:24Oh, bless him, he's a grand fella.
00:32:26He's fourth.
00:32:28He's third.
00:32:29He's...
00:32:29He's second.
00:32:31He's better than second.
00:32:32Oh, my...
00:32:33It's neck and neck.
00:32:36Oh, my goodness.
00:32:37He's either first or second.
00:32:38I can't bear it.
00:32:39Take the glasses and tell me what the numbers are.
00:32:40Quick.
00:32:42Eleven, nine...
00:32:43He's won!
00:32:45Hooray!
00:32:46We're gonna get it today.
00:32:48We're gonna get it today, get it today, get it today.
00:32:50We're gonna get it today.
00:32:52We're gonna get it today.
00:32:52We're gonna get it today.
00:32:52We're gonna get it today.
00:32:53We're gonna get it today.
00:32:53Oh, I must kiss somebody.
00:32:55And, uh, she...
00:32:57I've got a joke.
00:32:58Oh, Willie, a marvel.
00:33:00Oh, how right I was to come home.
00:33:01And you get 500 in the morning.
00:33:03No.
00:33:03Now, this would be a great lesson to both of you.
00:33:05Whenever you're in trouble, come to with it.
00:33:06Well, I said to Michelle.
00:33:08Oh!
00:33:08Good.
00:33:11Hey, you.
00:33:12Huh?
00:33:12Will you do something for me?
00:33:14Yeah.
00:33:17Would you keep an eye on that luncheon basket until I come to the Darby next year?
00:33:21Huh?
00:33:22In case you get bored, have a drink.
00:33:25Thank you, sir.
00:33:26Go on!
00:33:47Go boy!
00:33:59Ooh!
00:34:00Oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:34:30Oh, oh.
00:34:30Your dream is gone and gathered to me.
00:34:33Gather to me.
00:34:34Gather to me.
00:34:35Ah, Dorothy.
00:34:37Oh, hello.
00:34:38Did you, uh, enjoy the cricket?
00:34:41Oh, I didn't go.
00:34:43Oh, really?
00:34:44Just, uh, stayed at home?
00:34:47No, I went to the Derby.
00:34:48Oh.
00:34:49Oh, not your side of the course.
00:34:51The other.
00:34:52With whom did you go?
00:34:54Uh, with Susan and her brother.
00:34:56Having refused to go with me, you went with that man?
00:34:59What do you mean by that man?
00:35:01Dorothy, what were you doing in that car with that fellow Hale this afternoon?
00:35:06She was coming back from the Derby with him.
00:35:07You went with him and refused to go with Paul?
00:35:10It was purely accidental.
00:35:11I hope you'll avoid a similar accident.
00:35:13I disapprove of it.
00:35:14But he's charming.
00:35:15I don't wish you to know him.
00:35:17You don't?
00:35:18Well, I like him enormously.
00:35:20And I think I ought to tell you, I've had a card sent to him for our party tonight.
00:35:24He?
00:35:25You've asked him here?
00:35:26You had no right to do this, Dorothy.
00:35:28I'm much inclined to send him a note canceling it.
00:35:31Well, let me tell you, if you do, I shan't be here.
00:35:34Have you lost your senses?
00:35:35I mean it.
00:35:36How dare you suggest such a thing?
00:35:38A perfectly charming man.
00:35:40Dorothy, please.
00:35:41Oh, leave me alone.
00:35:47Mr. Hale is on the telephone, miss.
00:35:50Hello, Willie.
00:35:52Mary.
00:35:53Yes.
00:35:55How are you, darling?
00:35:57Everything all right at home?
00:35:59Good.
00:36:00I rang you up about tonight.
00:36:03How about supper?
00:36:05No, no.
00:36:06Come to the apartment.
00:36:08All about midnight.
00:36:12I'll be waiting.
00:36:14So long, darling.
00:36:19Good.
00:36:36My word, you're a good dancer.
00:36:38One has to be to dance with you, Willie.
00:36:41I say, am I so very bad?
00:36:42Oh, yes, but I like it.
00:36:50I wish to tell you, you're very thoughtless.
00:36:53Why?
00:36:54You might have waited until I'd gone away again, before you got engaged.
00:36:57Why?
00:36:58We can't go to any more races. No more swings.
00:37:02Very thoughtless, aren't we?
00:37:04There's always Liverpool, though.
00:37:09Well, that's funny.
00:37:11Oh, I know all about her. I even know who she is.
00:37:13Well, well, well.
00:37:14Does she like swings?
00:37:16I haven't asked her. I don't think she would.
00:37:18You must teach her to like them.
00:37:20No, you can't teach people to like swings.
00:37:22Either you like them, or you don't.
00:37:24I adore them.
00:37:26So do I.
00:37:28But do you know what?
00:37:29Cowboy.
00:37:30Tramps.
00:37:32Willie, I believe you're right.
00:37:34Willie is always right.
00:37:36Shall we?
00:37:46I'll tell you, she's infatuated with the fellow.
00:37:48No, Sir.
00:37:49She's only trying to make you jealous.
00:37:51There.
00:37:51There they go into the garden together.
00:37:54Dorothy should be thinking of her other guests.
00:37:56You'd better go and catch her.
00:38:00Nice.
00:38:05Thanks.
00:38:06Thanks.
00:38:06Thanks.
00:38:06Thanks.
00:38:06Thanks.
00:38:11When are you going away again?
00:38:13Oh, I never know.
00:38:15That's the fun.
00:38:16Perhaps tomorrow, perhaps a year.
00:38:18Where are you going this time?
00:38:19Well, I think I'm going to get my father to buy me a sheep farm in New Zealand.
00:38:22Why?
00:38:25I don't sleep very well.
00:38:26And I can count the sheep going through the gates.
00:38:30What a fool you are.
00:38:33Why, Jo?
00:38:36What is it?
00:38:38I wonder what sheep do when they can't sleep.
00:38:43Dorothy, I've been looking for you everywhere.
00:38:45I do think your behavior is a little strange.
00:38:48Believe me, it's entirely my fault.
00:38:50I'm terribly sorry.
00:38:51I apologize.
00:38:52I wasn't talking to you.
00:38:54Paul!
00:38:56I'm sorry.
00:39:19I say something's happened.
00:39:21Did you see her face?
00:39:23A lover's tiff, old friend.
00:39:24If I thought that Dorothy had got that Russian's number, I'd drink her father's champagne until you had to carry
00:39:30me home.
00:39:32I'm very sorry, Dorothy, but...
00:39:34You will apologize to Mr. Hale.
00:39:36That cad?
00:39:37Nothing would induce me.
00:39:38How dare you call a man you don't even know.
00:39:40Everyone who knows him says he is.
00:39:42Besides, what man but a cad would have taken you from the ballroom?
00:39:45Making me look the greatest fool imaginable.
00:39:46It was I who made you look a fool.
00:39:48I took him from the ballroom.
00:39:51You took...
00:39:52Do you like him?
00:39:54Enormously.
00:39:55He...
00:39:55He made love to you.
00:39:57He has the distinction of being one of the few men I've ever known who hasn't.
00:40:02In any case, I must insist on you on never speaking to him again.
00:40:05Are you serious?
00:40:07Yes.
00:40:07I must ask you from tonight not to know him.
00:40:10Really?
00:40:11As I propose to know all the people like him I can.
00:40:13You'll find the responsibility of me too great.
00:40:17Dorothy, you don't mean this.
00:40:18I never meant anything more.
00:40:20Oh, my dear, you're angry now.
00:40:21Later on, you'll think different.
00:40:22Please, please don't do anything.
00:40:23You're so stupid.
00:40:24You know your father is going to announce our engagement almost at once.
00:40:26You'll look an awful fool if he does.
00:40:28But...
00:40:28So I should stop you.
00:40:29Dorothy, please.
00:40:30You'll look less of a fool if you say I fainted and gone to bed.
00:40:32But won't you...
00:40:33And to make it even more convincing, I'd suggest a doctor be sent for at once.
00:40:37Dorothy.
00:40:51Oh, my God.
00:40:54Oh, my God.
00:40:58Oh, my God.
00:41:09What's the matter with him?
00:41:11Looks more like an attack of indigestion than a fiancée.
00:41:14Something sensational has happened. I'm sure of it.
00:41:16Perhaps Mrs. Hope slipped on a piece of their linoleum.
00:41:23Dorothy.
00:41:25Dorothy, dear, it's your mother.
00:41:28Dorothy, I want you to come downstairs.
00:41:32You've been making love to Dorothy.
00:41:34Don't be silly, darling. I only met the girl this morning.
00:41:37Is he like you a lot?
00:41:39I wish you'd take her away from that fellow, will he?
00:41:42Well, if I could and I can't, I would.
00:41:44Why not?
00:41:45Well, she's too nice for one thing and too rich for another.
00:41:51I say, Susan, would you mind if I left you here?
00:41:53Where are you going?
00:41:54Uh, a place.
00:41:56Yes.
00:41:57Not with every fool I trust.
00:42:00Yes, and I'm only just tired. So long, darling.
00:42:04Nothing will induce her to come down.
00:42:07What... what can we do?
00:42:08No, we'll tell everyone she's, uh, over-tired and is faint.
00:42:13I should have kicked the fellow out.
00:42:14I have a much more effective way of dealing with that, gentlemen.
00:42:19Come.
00:42:20Leave it to me.
00:42:21I'll undertake that Dorothy will be much more reasonable in the morning.
00:42:31Oh, Willie.
00:42:33What on earth's the matter with you?
00:42:35Uh, sorry, darling. Nothing, nothing.
00:42:38Darling, you're hundreds of miles away.
00:42:41Oh, I, uh, I've got a headache.
00:42:44I'm sorry.
00:42:45Why didn't you tell me?
00:42:47No, it's all right now.
00:42:50Not fed up with me, are you?
00:42:52Why, of course not.
00:42:55Well, you might say it with a little more enthusiasm, Willie, dear.
00:42:59Well, don't be silly, darling. Have a sweet.
00:43:01Thank you. I have one. And I adore him.
00:43:06I'd shoot anyone who tried to take you from me, Willie.
00:43:10Are you a good shot?
00:43:11Ah.
00:43:20Susan.
00:43:40Uh, sorry, Susan. I, um, I came to borrow your nails, Susan.
00:43:44Can you find them?
00:43:45Yes.
00:43:46Clever of you.
00:43:48They're in the next room.
00:43:50Oh.
00:43:52I do wish you wouldn't throw my photographs about.
00:43:57Pretty, isn't it?
00:43:58Yes.
00:43:59Thanks to you, free.
00:44:02I had nothing to do with it.
00:44:03So hadn't you.
00:44:05Certainly not.
00:44:06Well, she adores you.
00:44:07Ah, pssh.
00:44:10Ah, here you are.
00:44:12A messenger just brought this letter for you.
00:44:15It's from Hope.
00:44:16Dorothy's father?
00:44:17Yes, what, what's that old jumped up linoleum maker want with you?
00:44:22He says he wants to see me at two o'clock this afternoon.
00:44:25A matter of the utmost importance.
00:44:27Congratulations.
00:44:29What do you mean?
00:44:30Don't, don't stand any nonsense from that old bully.
00:44:33If he tries to be stingy with you, put him in his place.
00:44:37Do you know what you're talking about?
00:44:40Hark at the blackguard trying to humbug us.
00:44:43Oh, you, you played your cards marvellously.
00:44:46Oh, you are one of the worst characters I've ever met.
00:44:50I'll put you over my knee and spank you if you talk to me like that, you smug little...
00:44:55Susan.
00:44:56Now I know why I'm a bad man.
00:45:08Mr. William Hale.
00:45:11Mr. Hope.
00:45:13Take a seat, Mr. Hale.
00:45:20As men of the world, you'd like me to come straight to the point.
00:45:23Straight.
00:45:24You have, I understand, since you returned to England, been seeing quite a lot of my daughter.
00:45:30Sufficient to be able to offer you my sincere congratulations.
00:45:32Yeah.
00:45:33It may be coincidence, but since knowing you, my daughter has broken off her engagement to a young man from
00:45:39whom I have the highest regard.
00:45:40Oh, how tragic it is that children so seldom do what their parents want them to.
00:45:44My father has the most awful trouble with me.
00:45:47Hmm, so I'm told.
00:45:49Yeah, I thought you had been.
00:45:50So I accuse you of being the cause of that engagement being broken.
00:45:54Oh, my dear sir, you're wrong.
00:45:55It was another man who was the cause.
00:45:57Who?
00:45:58The fellow she's engaged to.
00:45:59She was in love with him until you arrived.
00:46:02The desire to please a father and mother can hardly be described as love.
00:46:06Oh, so you put that idea in her head.
00:46:08Why?
00:46:09What business is it of mine?
00:46:11Because she's a rich girl and you want to marry her yourself.
00:46:14Ah.
00:46:16The men of the world have reached the point.
00:46:18Yes.
00:46:20By no word have I suggested that she should dislike the man you chose for her, or like me.
00:46:25You're much too subtle.
00:46:27Mr. Hope, I trust your linoleum is better than your manners.
00:46:29How dare you speak to me like that?
00:46:31Why, are you ashamed of your linoleum?
00:46:33You, who have failed in everything you've ever touched, and in every country in the world.
00:46:37Who have been given chances again and again.
00:46:40And who, in the end, have nothing to your credit, but a reputation as a gambler, with other people's money.
00:46:45Oh, that's true. That's terribly true.
00:46:46Why, you've never done an honest day's work in your life.
00:46:50Even your own father has described you as being a curse since the day you were born.
00:46:54Did the old villain say that about me?
00:46:55He didn't.
00:46:56I'll give him the devil for that when I get home.
00:46:59So, uh...
00:47:00Let us conclude the conversation.
00:47:01Good.
00:47:04If my daughter marries you or any man like you, not a single penny of my money will she ever
00:47:09receive.
00:47:11Do you mean that?
00:47:12I swear it, Mr. Hale.
00:47:15Nothing would persuade you to alter your mind?
00:47:17Nothing, I swear it.
00:47:22This information alters your point of view on marriage considerably, doesn't it, Mr. Hale?
00:47:27Yes.
00:47:28I can't quite tell you how considerably.
00:47:30It may even mean my going abroad again at once.
00:47:33I should if I were you.
00:47:35Yes.
00:47:35Yes.
00:47:55Where's Miss Dorothy?
00:47:56Miss Dorothy is on the terrace, sir.
00:47:58Would you take me to her?
00:48:00This way, sir.
00:48:12Willi?
00:48:13What are you doing here?
00:48:15I've come to tell you I'm only 1,500 pounds in the world, and that's through wicked horse racing.
00:48:18What do you mean?
00:48:19And I've been a bad boy all my life.
00:48:21Have you been drinking?
00:48:22And that if I should leave this world tonight, my epitaph should be...
00:48:25He endeavored to leave this world a far worse place than it was before he came into it.
00:48:30What's the matter?
00:48:31And that if I had a daughter like you, and I felt a man like me wanted to marry her,
00:48:34I should be as angry as I can.
00:48:35your father is and I should see he never had a penny of my money Willie what is the matter
00:48:42with
00:48:42you well don't be a fool darling can't you see I'm proposing marriage to you and should it be
00:48:47in your mind to accept me your father will cut you off without a penny and when the 1500 pounds
00:48:54is gone it may mean you will be starving in the gutter I should adore it and I accept you
00:49:01and
00:49:01all the risks that go with it you love me love you I've been squinting ever since I met you
00:49:16so
00:49:17have I oh I'm so happy I have a good mind to what to go and give a thousand pounds
00:49:23to a hospital you
00:49:24dare but seriously Dorothy after all you've been used to it's an awful risk none I believe
00:49:31in you angel I won't fail you but before you finally accept I think you should hear the story
00:49:40of my life oh father has told it to me so often oh but father's only told you the bits
00:49:45he knows
00:49:47lots of bits that have never come out and I think you ought to hear them no
00:49:59yes what about Liverpool what did you love her I liked her terribly but you'll never see her again
00:50:11only to say goodbye to her I don't want you to you must write to her well without a mean
00:50:18she's been so
00:50:19terribly nice to me all I don't care you're not to see her again well very well if if you
00:50:27if you like
00:50:27her so much you you don't understand oh whether I do or not doesn't matter I I've been jealous of
00:50:38her
00:50:38hated her ever since I've known you oh if you really love me you'll never see her again
00:50:48very well you swear it yes but do you swear it or not I swear it cross your heart
00:50:58that's all right of course it would be generous of you if you were
00:51:09Mr. Hale I thought you'd gone I stayed behind to ask your daughter if she had any objection to my
00:51:15being your son-in-law and I haven't been it's in your power to make your daughter a very attractive
00:51:23wedding present Mr. Hope here being your presence at her wedding ring me up later Willie
