00:46:52Thank you, mother.

00:52:07Oh, I'm glad there's a lot, boy. Let's go.

00:52:10Game call on the count of wet ground.

00:52:13I know where to go.

00:52:14We've walked ahead of the ground.

00:52:16We've got a couple of stuff like this.

00:52:27Good night, Harriet.

00:52:28You can take your mother home, Paul.

00:52:30Aren't you coming with us, Uncle?

00:52:31No, I have a business engagement to attend to.

00:52:33Right-o. Good night.

00:52:44Shall I call a cab, sir?

00:52:45No, never mind.

00:52:47I want to go back.

00:52:52That's right, James. My hand and toe, please.

00:52:55Come on, Barry. Let's go.

00:53:13No, George.

00:53:14I almost did it.

00:53:16Maybe I just kissed him.

00:53:16I just mean to bring him and go back to keep moving, said I'm going back to me during the

00:53:22night.

00:53:22Sorry.

00:53:22You need to do everything on me, please.

00:53:23But I feel without some light on theonymous side to see her.

00:53:24Notice81 weebber.

00:53:25If we can't get into my weather.

00:53:25I could miss...

00:53:26I've got rusts at.

00:53:26Excellent.

00:53:33Mrs. Harrington is expecting me.

00:53:36Yes, sir.

00:54:09I beg your pardon.

00:54:17What do you want?

00:54:20I want to settle everything as quickly and quietly as possible.

00:54:26Settle what?

00:54:29Why, the matter of a divorce between you and Paula.

00:54:32A divorce?

00:54:36Well, my dear, under the circumstances...

00:54:39What on earth are you talking about?

00:54:41Have you forgotten that I was at Guy Emery's party?

00:54:45No. What of it?

00:54:48Well, my dear, we won't go into that.

00:54:52Has Guy Emery said anything about me?

00:54:55No. No, he's a gentleman.

00:55:02Oh. I begin to see it all now.

00:55:04I'm glad. I rather thought you would.

00:55:12Do you think you can turn Paul against me?

00:55:16You did that yourself tonight.

00:55:23I'll never divorce Paul.

00:55:25Then he'll divorce you. I'll see to that.

00:55:30But you can't prove anything against me.

00:55:33I can prove that you're accustomed to taking fifty dollars for small favors.

00:55:38Oh.

00:55:40Guy Emery knows that's a lie.

00:55:43Even he would deny it.

00:55:44No one would expect a gentleman to admit it.

00:55:48And remember...

00:55:49I haven't been a judge twenty years for nothing.

00:55:58Why do you and your family insist upon breaking us up?

00:56:02Why?

00:56:03Suppose we make it fifty thousand.

00:56:11It will buy you a nice trip to Europe.

00:56:13And a good time.

00:56:15In your own quiet way.

00:56:20Here you are.

00:56:25Won't you believe me?

00:56:28You must believe me.

00:56:30I love Paul more than anything in the...

00:56:32No, no, no. That's all right.

00:56:39How I hate you.

00:56:44Oh, please. Can't you see?

00:56:50Gentlemen.

00:56:53Hypocrite.

00:56:54How can you be a gentleman?

00:56:56You're not even a man.

00:57:02Splendid.

00:57:05You know I'd almost forgotten your stage experience.

00:57:08You're quite an actress.

00:57:11Another Bernard.

00:57:29Now think twice before you refuse fifty thousand dollars.

00:57:33I have been thinking.

00:57:36And reconsider?

00:57:38Mm-hmm.

00:57:39That's better.

00:57:41You didn't really think I'd refuse it, did you?

00:57:44Well, hardly.

00:57:47I just wanted to be sure you meant it.

00:57:51Yeah, I see.

00:57:53Now, if you'll leave all the details to me, I'll say good night.

00:57:57Oh, before you go.

00:57:58May I have a cigarette?

00:58:00Certainly.

00:58:05And would you be kind enough to light it for me?

00:58:10I have a brand new lighter and I want to see if it works.

00:58:15Look here. Isn't it a nice one?

00:58:17Yes.

00:58:18Ah, you see, it does work.

00:58:29Aren't you going to have one?

00:58:30No, thank you.

00:58:32You know, I must rarely be going. It's late.

00:58:33Mmm.

00:58:36My, these are good.

00:58:38And they're monogrammed, aren't they?

00:58:40Yes, a special blend.

00:58:41How nice.

00:58:43I think they're delicious.

00:58:44You know, you're really...

00:58:48Something's burning.

00:58:49Something's burning?

00:58:51I don't notice anything.

00:58:52Yes, well, I do.

00:58:54It's your coat.

00:58:56Well, what's the matter with it?

00:58:57My word, it's on fire.

00:58:58Better get it off.

00:59:01I know just what to do with it.

00:59:05Hi, what are you going to do?

00:59:09Here, what are you doing that for?

00:59:11Oh, it's the best thing to do in a case like this.

00:59:13I never heard of such a case.

00:59:14You haven't.

00:59:16Everyone's doing it.

00:59:17Now, give me that coat.

00:59:19No, no.

00:59:20I'll take care of this.

00:59:22Well, is it out now?

00:59:26Quite out now.

00:59:27That's good.

00:59:28Give me that coat, will you?

00:59:31I'm sorry.

00:59:32Well, what's the matter now?

00:59:34I dropped it.

00:59:36Well, I'm awfully sorry.

00:59:37Confound your carelessness.

00:59:39Well, it really wasn't carelessness.

00:59:42Well, never mind, never mind.

00:59:44I'm going home now.

00:59:45All right.

00:59:46Goodbye.

00:59:47Good night.

00:59:49Goodbye.

00:59:53Here, something's the matter with the door.

00:59:55No, there isn't.

00:59:57It won't open.

00:59:59No.

01:00:01Where's the key?

01:00:03The key?

01:00:07I don't know.

01:00:09Well, you ought to know.

01:00:10It's your door, isn't it?

01:00:11No.

01:00:13It's our door.

01:00:15What do you mean, our door?

01:00:17Oh, I bet I know who has the key.

01:00:20Who?

01:00:21You, you naughty boy.

01:00:24Me, you naughty?

01:00:31Oh, I'm so tired.

01:00:33I think I'll go to bed.

01:00:37So what are you doing?

01:00:39Why, I'm undressing.

01:00:41What does it look like?

01:00:42Well, stop it.

01:00:43Let me out of here.

01:00:44Oh, Judge.

01:00:46I think you're bashful.

01:00:49Well, get the key and open this door immediately.

01:00:51I know just where there is one.

01:00:53I'll get it.

01:00:55But don't you run away.

01:00:57Hurry up.

01:01:14Come on, Judge.

01:01:16Come on, Judge.

01:01:27Here, here.

01:01:28What have you done now?

01:01:30Well, I've just put on my pajamas.

01:01:32Aren't they cute?

01:01:33Well, take them off.

01:01:36Why, Judge?

01:01:37Well, you know what I mean.

01:01:38Go and put the dress on again.

01:01:40Oh, I thought you'd like them.

01:01:42Now, stop this nonsense.

01:01:43Give me that key.

01:01:44Now, darling, don't be cross.

01:01:47Now, look here, you little black neighbor.

01:01:49What are you trying to do?

01:01:52I'll tell you exactly.

01:01:54If I must be divorced,

01:01:57I'm going to pick my own correspondence.

01:02:00And it's going to be you.

01:02:04So that's it, is it?

01:02:06Mm-hmm.

01:02:07How absurd.

01:02:09Aha.

01:02:10What's the meaning of this?

01:02:13You haven't been a judge 20 years for nothing, have you?

01:02:22You never convinced Paul of such a lie as this.

01:02:26No.

01:02:30Wait till he gets here.

01:02:32You said yourself I was a good actress.

01:02:33I'll show you I'm a great one.

01:02:35Ha!

01:02:35You, stupid.

01:02:38Oh, you're a bad boy.

01:02:41I am not.

01:02:45Have it your own way.

01:02:51This is me.

01:02:52And that's you.

01:02:54Just think of it.

01:02:55I can't.

01:02:56I won't.

01:02:57But this is outrageous.

01:03:00You little devil.

01:03:01You great big devil.

01:03:03Keep your hands away.

01:03:04The last time now, give me that key.

01:03:05Oh, yes, of course, the key.

01:03:07Do you really want it?

01:03:08I most certainly do.

01:03:10All right.

01:03:11Whoop.

01:03:13There it is.

01:03:14Come and get it.

01:03:15By Jove, I will get it.

01:03:18Ah.

01:03:19Weren't we having fun?

01:03:20No, we are not here.

01:03:21Keep away from me.

01:03:23Oh, let's have a little struggle.

01:03:26I'll screen and maybe we'll get some publicity.

01:03:29There.

01:03:34That's all right.

01:03:34Keep the change.

01:03:39Rafe Scott, do you want to ruin me?

01:03:41I'd love it.

01:03:44What's that?

01:03:45My husband.

01:03:49Shh.

01:03:49Quiet.

01:03:50Oh, yes.

01:03:51We must be quiet.

01:03:56Please get me out of this.

01:03:58Do something, anything.

01:03:59I promise you I'll never bother you again.

01:04:02Splendid.

01:04:03You're quite an actor.

01:04:05Another Barrymore.

01:04:14Oh, darling.

01:04:16It's my husband.

01:04:17You must get out of here quick.

01:04:19Don't call me, darling.

01:04:21All right, sweetheart.

01:04:23Let's see how you look.

01:04:24There.

01:04:25That's fine.

01:04:34I thought I heard a man in this room.

01:04:36Where is he?

01:04:37A man?

01:04:38In this room?

01:04:39Yes.

01:04:43No, not here.

01:04:47Get out of the way.

01:04:48Oh, Paul.

01:04:50Come in here, you rat.

01:04:56Oh, this is awful.

01:05:02Uncle.

01:05:04You.

01:05:05Yes, Paul.

01:05:06Yes, I...

01:05:07What are you doing in my wife's bedroom?

01:05:09We're caught, Horace.

01:05:10We must face it together.

01:05:12Face what?

01:05:13I deny it.

01:05:14Yes, we deny it.

01:05:15Deny what?

01:05:16The truth, Paul.

01:05:18No, I'll not deny the truth.

01:05:20No, we'll be brave and declare our love to the world.

01:05:24Your love?

01:05:26Yes.

01:05:27Your uncle and I love each other.

01:05:29Well, that's a lie.

01:05:31Always a gentleman.

01:05:32But, darling, there's no use now.

01:05:35Now, don't pay any attention to her, Paul.

01:05:37She's mad.

01:05:38She must be if she's in love with you.

01:05:44Oh, Paul.

01:05:45Forgive us.

01:05:46We tried not to, but our love was too strong for us.

01:05:51Well, then why did you marry me?

01:05:53Must I confess?

01:05:54To be near him.

01:05:57Don't listen to her, Paul.

01:05:58Oh, Horace, sir.

01:05:59Now, there's no use trying to protect me.

01:06:00Keep quiet.

01:06:02I came here, Paul, for your sake.

01:06:05Well, then why were you hiding from me out on the balcony?

01:06:08Because...

01:06:08You see, because...

01:06:09Ah, because...

01:06:11I...

01:06:12Well, I...

01:06:15Because I didn't want to be found here.

01:06:18Exactly.

01:06:20No, I didn't mean that.

01:06:21Oh, you're...

01:06:22Well, just what do you mean?

01:06:25Please, Paul.

01:06:27Please listen to me.

01:06:29Please let me explain.

01:06:31I came here with the best of intentions.

01:06:34I...

01:06:34I came to help you.

01:06:36Please let me explain.

01:06:38I never would have come here at all if I'd known it was going to turn out this way.

01:06:42This whole thing is a terrible mess.

01:06:44It really was your mother's idea in the first place.

01:06:48And that's for the bed, I can explain that, too.

01:06:51How?

01:06:51I tried to smooth it out before you came, because...

01:06:54You did, did you?

01:06:56Don't strike him, you brute.

01:06:58He's mine and I love him.

01:07:00Please keep away from me.

01:07:03What's that?

01:07:05Uh...

01:07:05Nothing, just a piece of paper.

01:07:10Fifty thousand dollars.

01:07:12What's this for?

01:07:13So she'd give you up.

01:07:15And go to you?

01:07:16Yes.

01:07:17No.

01:07:17Yes.

01:07:18No, no.

01:07:19Well, you don't understand.

01:07:21So I could go away?

01:07:23Yes.

01:07:24I mean, no.

01:07:25Oh, I don't know what I mean.

01:07:32Oh, I feel so sick.

01:07:36I should think you would.

01:07:39Oh, you poor dear.

01:07:42Paul, how can you be so blind?

01:07:45I don't really know.

01:07:49As for you, I think you'd better get out.

01:07:53Paul.

01:07:53Oh, quick.

01:07:57Out and stay out.

01:08:11Now you know what I think of you, don't you?

01:08:17I think you're the world's worst actress.

01:08:25And I've been the world's worst husband.

01:08:32I deny that.

01:08:35THE END
