That train still leaves at 9 .10, Lyman.
Oh, no, no, no.
9 .11.
Oh, thanks, Liz.
It's an express, isn't it?
Uh, uh, yes.
Good.
Well, well, look at the early worms.
Morning, Lyman.
Morning.
Sleep well?
Didn't hear a sound, Liz.
You know, Liz, this was the best weekend party we've ever given.
I hate it to see Monday morning come. On behalf of the guests, I thank you. Just
orange juice and coffee, Martha.
Did you hear whoever was in the garden last night?
There was somebody talking there until four o 'clock.
It must have been Bill and Evie.
Or Sarah and Johnny.
What about Johnny?
Is he going to marry our little Sarah or ain't he?
I hope he doesn't marry her.
Why don't you marry her, Lyman, and get into family?
She'd make anywhere near as good a wife as her sister.
Oh, Lyman.
No kidding, Lyman. Why don't you take it over?
Where is Sarah? She's generally down early.
Help.
Help. Sarah, what's the matter? Oh, I've got a nosebleed. A what?
A nosebleed. Thanks, Les. How in the world could you get a nosebleed at this
hour? Maybe I really have a baby.
Sarah, and just as we were trying to get Lyman to marry you.
Oh, does Lyman want to marry me?
Oh, Lyman, this is too wonderful.
When, today?
Well, I'm afraid I couldn't today, Sarah. Oh, no, of course. Monday's
busy day for you big businessmen. Well, tomorrow, then.
Oh, no, I can't tomorrow. I have to go to the dentist.
Oh, thanks, Martha.
Good morning.
Oh, Les, did you make that appointment with Dr. Black for Mother?
I'll have Miss Rogers call him. Good. Oh, great grief, is Mother coming?
Yes, dearie, on the nine -something. Oh, I knew there was some reason for my
nose bleeding.
Oh, Lyman, marry me right away, will you? You won't have to tell anybody.
I should want to tell everybody.
I live at the Marble, Washington. I only come out nights.
I seem to have heard of a young man named Johnny Coles. Yes.
What about this 4 a .m. garden stuff?
What? Has Johnny been getting away with something in the garden? Oh, the dirty
little mouse. Who is it? Evie?
Honestly, you'd think Evie got enough men without snaking him.
Must have been Truesdale, the great lover.
Excuse me, Liz.
I think I'll get ready to go on in. Right away, Lyman. Oh, Lyman, don't you
really think you could marry me? I'm sure I could.
I make a wonderful raspberry whip.
Just look through his bag, Les, and see that he hasn't taken any towels.
Saying things like that, Sarah, isn't the way a girl gets married. Oh, you and
your getting married.
Besides, I love to embarrass Lyman. He's so darn rich.
It's a shame Bill's being wasted on eating.
Well, isn't it?
Bill seems to be happy enough.
Seems to be.
You know, at one time I thought that you and Bill might have... No, it's really
quite simple.
Bill just doesn't see in me, as far as I know. I never said I saw in him a
prospective husband for myself.
Oh, you've been very sweet, Liz, you and Les.
You've worried and you've got me bows and you've done your best.
But I guess I'll just have to live with my canaries and my music and my dear
sweet old mother, the so -and -so.
Father's empty lovelies. Thanks, dear.
Listen to this.
Don't ever change, dear.
I want you always to remain as you are.
Your loving father.
Don't ever change.
Father's been writing me that for the last six years.
I don't know what he expects me to change into.
Good morning, girls.
Keep your seats.
Truesdale will find a chair.
Truesdale, my good fellow, this is a pleasure. I'm sure it is.
Oh, just some coffee, Marta.
Any signs of my beautiful fiancée yet?
Easy, at 8 .30.
Sarah, the boy's crazy. The boy's crazy. Well, we're supposed to drive into town
early this morning.
Truesdale, I'll miss you.
Sarah, I'll always think of you as a sister.
Oh, will you, Bill?
And leave in mind if I come and put flowers on your grave.
I don't get you. I was only kidding, Bill.
I always get weddings and funerals mixed up.
You know the way you don't have bridesmaids, are they?
Bill, who's Evie going to have for her bridesmaids? I don't know. We haven't
discussed it yet.
Well, what were you discussing at four this morning in the garden?
Sorry, girls. Truesdale retired about one.
And Evie?
Evie went to bed at the same time.
You're sure?
Of course I'm sure. I said goodnight to her.
And when you say goodnight to them, they go right to bed.
Certainly.
Well, when you say good morning to them, do they have to get right up, Bill?
What? Poor Evie. Poor Evie nothing.
The luckiest girl in the world.
Yes, I'll see less of. Excuse me?
I certainly envy Evie these interesting morning breakfasts she's going to have
with you.
Sarah, what's all this garden stuff, anyway?
That's what I'm wondering.
How about one of the maids?
Or the cook?
With Johnny, you mean?
Well, I wouldn't put it past him.
I've been thinking a lot about you and Johnny.
Why, Bill, how sweet. I'm touched.
Hey, what have you got against Johnny?
Oh, he's all right, but... Are you going to marry him? Against your wishes?
Of course not.
Now you're talking.
You're too good a girl for him.
Of course I am, Bill. I deserve you.
No, I wouldn't say that.
Yes, but supposing I love Johnny, Bill?
Love doesn't make you lose your standards.
No? No.
Now take Evie and me.
Oh, you take Evie.
You don't like her.
Oh, I adore Evie.
Well, anyway, here's my point.
I've got faults.
Oh, Bill.
And Evie's got faults.
Evie? What faults?
None.
And we're in love.
But it isn't sappy love.
Sappy love?
That's what love does to some people. They go sappy.
And so help me, if Evie ever went that way on me, if she ever started to
suffer... You needn't worry about Evie.
I know what you mean, Bill. I know I loathe people who suffer.
Oh, I hate sappy people.
You think Johnny's sappy?
Well, he might go sappy on you. And you couldn't stand that.
You've got too much stuff.
I don't think you're right about Johnny.
Well, maybe not.
Well, I'll bet you don't marry him.
Well, he's sailing this afternoon. I haven't got much time.
Say, what do you bet I don't marry him? Well, I... Well, bonjour tout le monde.
Bonjour. Hello, Johnny. Come in. We're just talking about you.
Yeah? Nothing complimentary, I hope.
How's the great Truesdale this morning?
Bonjour, Truesdale Le Grand.
Bonjour. Hello, Johnny.
Hey, where'd you get that tie?
That? That yours, I didn't think you'd mind.
Just a little orange juice and coffee, ma 'am. No, no, I don't mind.
How are you fixed for socks?
Well, as a matter of fact, I did borrow a pair.
Do you like them, Sarah?
Oh, they're marvelous.
Don't you worry, Bill.
Johnny will send you some from Paris. Yeah.
I suppose you've still got those purple drawers on.
Yeah, I wouldn't part with them for the world. No, I thought not.
Jealousy is purple drawers, Sarah.
He won him up at Williams for writing poetry.
Yeah. And very good poetry it was, John. Oh, I'll bet it was.
Hey, you know that bet we were talking about just now?
Yes? You meet Evie and me at Alvarez at one o 'clock for luncheon. And if you
lose, you pay the check.
And if you lose?
Truesdale never loses.
And if you lose?
I'll wear purple drawers for a year.
Bon voyage, Johnny.
Bon voyage.
Hey.
What's the matter with him?
Oh, nothing.
Bill and I were just having a little argument.
Oh, no, you didn't. Not with Bill.
Bill doesn't argue.
Bill tells you.
I think Bill knows more than you give him credit for.
Well, I think Bill couldn't know any less than I give him credit for.
What was the big bit of wisdom he's letting you in on? Want some hot coffee?
Yeah, please.
What a night I spent last night.
I know.
In a garden.
Oh, no.
Garden isn't the word for it. I never had such dreams, really.
Promptly at 6 .15, one of your dear sister's children started playing rivet
rivet right above my bed.
Oh, that was little Jackie.
Oh, that was little Jackie. Yes.
Dear little Jackie.
Cute little rat.
Come here, Jackie.
Come to your Uncle Johnny.
Come here and let him break your cunning little neck.
Oh, Johnny.
I'm going to miss you like the devil.
Really, Kim? Yeah.
We do have fun together, don't we? Sure we have fun.
I think I have more fun with you than anybody I know.
Do you, Johnny? Oh, I know I do, yeah.
Oh,
guess who's coming this morning?
Who?
Mother. Oh.
Isn't that great?
Oh, good heaven.
Sarah.
What would you do if you were free of your mother, hmm?
Why, it's Santa Claus, and what do you want for Christmas? No, no, no, no. I
really mean it.
Supposing you were free of your mother, hmm?
Hmm. That's called matricide, isn't it? Oh, good, yeah.
Yeah. What would you suggest, arsenic?
Hmm. That's the problem, isn't it? Hmm.
Morning, Sarah.
Morning, Evie. Good morning, Johnny.
Morning, Evie.
Just some orange juice.
I haven't the slightest idea what time it is.
Good. It's almost nine. Excuse me, please.
Bye, Evie. I hope you make a man out of Bill.
Oh, darling. Want me to help you pack?
No, no, no. All I... I like you.
Oh, come on. Let me help you.
Oh,
don't I look frightful?
I've been up for hours.
Don't tell me you didn't sleep very well either.
Oh, I slept beautifully.
That's good.
And it's the sleep you get before midnight that counts, too.
Sarah, do you know anything about the trains?
I want to go in town.
Bill said... Does Bill know?
He said you were motoring in with him.
Yes, but I'd like to go right away if it isn't too much trouble.
Oh, yes, of course. There's a timetable just here.
Just a minute now.
AM9.
Oh, Lyman!
I'll be back in just a moment, Sarah.
Simon, I thought you'd left.
I wouldn't until I'd seen you a moment.
How'd you rest?
Comfortably.
You look very sweet this morning.
Les hurt us in the garden last night. Oh, it doesn't make any difference.
I must repeat one or two things.
In the first place, you must realize this affair with Bill is just that, an
affair. Simon!
You'd be very foolish to marry Bill, and you know it.
Love in a cottage isn't for you, Evie.
Evie, send my boys to Johnny for me. I will. Goodbye, Lyman. Goodbye. Goodbye,
Evie. Oh, Lyman, how about having lunch in town with Evie and me?
That would be splendid.
Thanks. All right, I'll dance at once. Goodbye,
Les. Goodbye, Les. Have a lovely time. Oh, I'm so glad.
Goodbye.
Why did you ask Lyman to lunch?
Well, he's a good guy to know.
Besides, you like him, don't you?
I said you like him, don't you? Yes, why?
Well, I just wondered.
Why?
Mother dear.
How are you? I'm not at all well.
Oh. I had the most frightful trip.
I'm the most impertinent conductor.
And to top it all off, my black bag has been stolen.
Stolen? But mother, are you certain? Of course I'm certain.
Do you think I'm a child?
Please.
Bring Mother's bags upstairs.
Yes, ma 'am. But, Mother, you... I tell you, it was stolen.
Well, well, my lovebirds.
How do you do, Evangeline? How do you do, Mrs. Jaffrey? Good morning, William.
Good morning. So good to see you. Oh, Mother, I'm so sorry. I couldn't get to
the station on time. I know. I know. I know.
Well, Evangeline, you look happy, and you should look happy. You're marrying
favorite young man.
Can I see William?
What was that?
Another of your funny remarks, Sarah?
Sarah makes the funniest remarks.
Thank you, Mother.
At least everyone tells me they're funny.
Sarah, did you find out anything about a train?
Oh, yes, I'm sorry, Evie. There's one at 10 -7.
Say, what's this? I'm driving you in.
Oh, please don't bother.
What's no bother? I'll drive you in. Are your things ready?
Yes. Goodbye, Mrs. Jaffray. I'll certainly be here for the wedding, dear.
would be lovely. Come, Sarah.
Sarah, will you be in town for lunch?
I certainly will.
Yeah, I'll be there, too.
Evangeline and William do not look to me like two people who are going to get
married.
Evangeline had better marry somebody before long.
Why? Well, for one thing, she's had too many beaux. And for another, she's
getting along.
But mother, she's only 24.
Yes, dear.
Supposing she were 28 or 30 and went married.
What difference would it make?
None, dear, none.
Not on your dress? No, what difference would it make, Mother? Answer me that.
Sarah, don't get so excited.
Oh, see this lovely cheek.
See the moo cow and the sheep sheep.
What difference does it make if a girl never gets married?
She's just as good a girl, isn't she?
How does marriage make her any better?
You'll know, dear.
I'll know?
I'll know what?
When you're married, dear.
I know what when I'm married.
A man?
A baby? I say you'll know.
And I'll say furthermore that your sister and I will be very disappointed.
Disappointed? But why?
Am I a failure because I don't get married?
You got married, didn't you?
That was a success, I suppose, with father wandering alone now all over
Sarah, will you stop talking? And I'm a failure because the man I happen to want
doesn't happen to want me.
Well, I... I'm just what I am, and... I'm
sick of the whole darn business.
Sarah, if you ever have a baby of your own, you'll know what you say.
Yes, I gave up everything for you. Oh, no, not that again.
Sarah.
I hope your sister will have a little more respect for me.
Hey. What's the matter with old Tittlebottom?
Wait a minute.
What's this?
Johnny, tears.
Tears?
Well, I'll be darned.
Are they big tears?
No, just child -sized. Just child -sized.
A handkerchief. A handkerchief?
A handkerchief.
A handkerchief. I had one yesterday.
Oh, stop bragging.
Well, maybe it was last week. Hey, look, I came in here to say goodbye because
I've got to hurry if I'm going to be on that boat when it sails. Oh, gee.
Why don't you come down to the pier with me, huh?
Well, I... Oh, come on, come on.
I'll stand on the deck and I'll...
I'll wave to you till I get way out to sea. How's that? Yeah, at least till
you're 12 miles out and they open the bar. I know.
All right, I'll come along. Only I have to change.
Come on, the change will do you good. All right.
Yeah. What? You call this a change?
Hey, Missy, you forgot to give me your hat and coat.
Don't you have too good a time?
You absorbed a little architecture.
Oh, look what I found.
Where did you get my picture?
Stole it.
Why, you naughty little thing, you.
Hey, she's going to Europe with me.
Wish I was going.
Sarah, why don't you come along?
Sir? Oh, I'll even marry you.
If I have to.
No.
It wouldn't work.
Why?
Yeah. I think I know why you won't.
What are you talking about, Stu?
See, I'd like to brain him.
That is, of course, if he has any brains to brain.
No, you're all wrong, Johnny.
You don't look so happy to me.
It's the thought of you leaving us forever.
I'll come back.
No, I know you sailors.
You make heat love to us native women, then you go into Paris and make love to
the French girl, no?
No.
Johnny never comes back. Oh, Johnny, come back. No, Johnny, never come back.
Johnny, come back.
Goodbye. Goodbye. Goodbye.
You find these good, Mr. Shrewsdale?
Yeah, bring me another.
Good afternoon, Miss Jaffe. Oh, hello, Albert.
Is Mr. Shrewsdale's father here? Yes, Mr. Shrewsdale's here. Thank you.
Oh, Bill.
Hello.
Where are the others?
Not coming.
Oh.
What are you having for lunch?
This.
Well, don't be so glad to see me Tuesday. It embarrasses me.
Don't let it.
Thanks. Bring another.
Do you wish to order now, sir?
If you want it, Sarah, I'm not eating.
Oh, I'll just have the lunch.
Good luck.
Yes, ma 'am.
Well, whatever you've been doing, it must have been great fun.
I've been helping Evie buy a trousseau.
Oh, Bill, how exciting.
Say, why don't you have all your old girls for bridesmaids, and I could be
And when the minister said the fatal words, all the bridesmaids could swoon.
Swell.
I'd love to swoon at your wedding.
And why not?
Why not?
I'm Bill, the great lover.
Any conquest today, great lover?
No. Today has been sort of an off day.
What's the matter?
Well, the engagement of Miss Evangeline Lawrence to Mr. William Truesdale was
just a big joke.
Bill, no.
Yeah. The great lover has been given the air.
It seems she's going to marry a Mr. Lyman Patterson in eight millions.
Oh, Bill.
Oh, that's awful.
Oh, no, it isn't.
It's dandy. Fine and dandy.
Are you really going to marry Lyman?
Why not?
The girl tells you she loves you and... Oh, what the... I don't know.
Bill, you need a drink.
I do not.
She couldn't have loved you.
She must have.
I'm Truesdale, the great lover.
Isn't everything just daisy?
Well, well.
Hey, we must do something about this fascination of ours, Bill.
Oh, you're all right.
I?
Oh, yes, I'm great.
I'm just Sarah, the it girl.
Oh, how I wish men would think of me as a human being instead of always that.
You better only talk to me of books and flowers.
What is it, Bill?
Something about us? Something in our voices?
I'm awfully sorry, Bill.
Awfully sorry.
Thanks, Sarah.
But... But maybe there isn't anything to be sorry about.
Oh.
You don't really believe that.
How do you know I don't?
You're very sweet, Sarah.
You know, I felt terrible when I first came here.
Evie's right.
It would be a mistake for me to marry her.
She isn't the girl for me.
Good old Truesdale.
He doesn't think often, but he thinks good.
I'm serious.
So am I.
Are you husband and wife?
Sure. Oh, you can tell by the happy expression on our faces.
You are going to Paris?
Oui. Oui.
Oui, too.
Come in.
Entree.
Bonjour, kid. Bonjour, Alphonse. How's the kid?
How about my shoes?
You sure?
I left them outside the door.
You know, Alphonse, shoes for the feast.
Here, I want this suit for us right away.
We'll have to be back by five o 'clock.
Same curve.
And I want that little tear on the sleeve fixed.
See?
Excuse me, Alphonse. Wait a minute.
Sarah!
Sarah!
Darling! Yes, dear?
What's the work of this little snail in the sleeve of my dinner towel?
What time is it?
Uh, 12 o 'clock.
Paris time.
Oh, dear.
Well, husband, you were certainly right last night.
If you stick to champagne, you'll never feel bad in the next morning. I feel
great. Ah, but you have one more rib than a woman. Don't forget that.
What is it you wanted?
I want to tell Alphonse to fix a little tear on the sleeve of my dinner coat.
Oh, dear. Couldn't I ask him something easier first, just to get started?
Couldn't I ask him where is the umbrella of my grandmother?
Yeah, and where are my shoes?
A man's got to have his shoes in Paris.
Um... Allor, Gasson.
Madame?
Go down, Hades. It's only chasseur to monsieur.
Vous désirez un chasseur?
Deux.
Deux chasseurs?
Oui.
You had two shoes, didn't you, darling? Yeah, oui.
Deux chasseurs.
Oui, attendez.
Oui, madame.
How far to think we're Americans?
Oh, dear, that would never do.
Well, the joke's on me.
It seems I've been asking for two huntsmen.
One would really invent enough unless the other one slept on the couch.
Attendez.
Ah, voilà.
Ici.
Allons, garçon.
Madame.
Où sont les chaussures de Monsieur Trousdale?
Ah, oui.
Les chaussures.
Oh,
oui. What was that?
Well, it seems that on the 6th of the month, all the orphans in this district
are taken on their annual picnic and outing in honor of the discovery of
by Madame Curie.
Madame Curie, n 'est -ce pas? Oui, Madame Curie.
So your shoes were borrowed to complete a float representing the friendship
between France and America.
Either that or he says he never saw your shoes.
If
he
comes back here with a huntsman, I'll be very angry.
How do you feel?
Great.
I love you.
Oh, I love you, Mrs. Trudeau.
Even if you don't know the word for shoes.
Do you know what today is?
No, what is today?
Ben Breeding?
It's our anniversary.
We've been married a month today.
Let's celebrate.
Let's have an anniversary luncheon. We're going to, with Father.
Don't you remember?
Oh, of course.
And it'll be a pleasure to have him see what a remarkable man you married.
When's he coming?
Oh, Lord, I think I told him about 12.
Well, I can't meet your father without my shoes.
Come in.
Entree.
Oh, haven't you? Good.
And have that soup press, will you, in the place fixed?
Sarah, will you tell him?
Why was I born a linguist?
Come on, Mrs. Burlitt.
Allons, garçons.
Madame.
Voulez -vous ça?
Et ça?
Et voilà.
Et retournez -y avant...
Five o 'clock, Lieutenant?
Oui. Thank her.
Oui, ma 'am.
Must be tough on you, Alphonse, only knowing one language.
Vincu.
Goodbye, Alphonse, you old peach.
I guess I'll just amble over to the bank and see if there's any mail.
What's he expecting?
Another letter from Evie?
How'd you know I had a letter from Evie?
I read it.
You read?
Sure.
What do you think I am, a woman of honor?
Have you read all her letters?
All I could get through.
Oh, I don't think that's so hot.
Now, Bill, you're my husband.
Don't you think you ought to be a little ashamed of yourself?
People don't read other people's letters.
Husbands don't correspond with their old girls.
I'm not corresponding.
I haven't answered any of her letters.
You haven't? No.
Oh, Bill, you ought to.
Let me answer them.
What's that?
Hello?
What?
New York?
Yes, I'll speak.
1215, yes. Thank you.
Mother's calling from New York at 83 dollars a minute.
Um, Evie arrives in Paris today, doesn't she?
I don't care where she arrives.
Don't be so emphatic, Bill. You make me nervous.
All right, forget it.
I've got to go.
Well, hurry right back, Bill.
I've got a surprise for you.
And when you get back, I'll have on my surprise.
All right. Here.
Here's a pretty flower for you.
There now.
Oh, Bill, this is so exciting.
Oh, Bill, I love you so very much.
Now hurry right back, Bill.
Look out the taxi cabs and don't speak to French girls and bring me something
and love me very much.
I'll be right back.
Just one more, Bill.
I'll be right back.
Mr. William Shrewdale, looking solid as an owl.
Hello, Bill. Hello, Lyman.
Well, well.
How's the bride?
What bride?
George, of course. Yes, how's Sarah making out?
Happiest girl in the world.
I knew it. Splendid.
Well, I'll be seeing you. I should hope so.
Bill, I have a million things I must tell you. No, no, better not now, dear.
Remember, I have an appointment.
Well, you run along.
I'll help Bill get his mail. He can take me back to the hotel.
Well, I'll see you there for lunch. Well, thanks. I can't stay for lunch.
All right.
Well, you know...
the water pitcher.
She didn't?
Oh, good heavens. Well, I thanked her for it anyway.
Yeah. Well, I'll write her a note this afternoon.
Yes. Well, I haven't had any time, Mother.
Come in.
It's Bill, Mother.
All right, dear. Thanks for calling. Goodbye, dear.
What?
He's gone for the mail.
Yes. Goodbye, dear. Goodbye.
Father. My daughter. My little married daughter.
Oh, Father.
Oh, it's so good to see you.
Bill had to go out for a minute. He'll be right back.
Oh, Father Flowers.
How sweet of you.
And those beautiful roses last night.
Bill loved them, too.
You're well, dear?
You look very well. I'm fine, Father, and you?
Do you still have those old headaches? Oh, you remember those.
Of course I do.
Good job, darling.
And your mother?
Is your mother well?
Yes, Mother's fine. She's fine. She gave us a wonderful wedding.
That's one wedding I hated to miss.
I thought of you all day long, Father.
I needed you so.
I, uh, I read about it.
At the, what was the name of that church?
St. Timothy's.
That's it, St.
Timothy's.
Does St. Timothy's smell just the same?
Yes, just the same.
I wonder what can be keeping Bill. Excuse me, Father, just a minute.
Will you get me the mail delivery department of the Bankers' Trust,
Thank you.
Oh, Father, this is grand. Now, tell me what you've been doing.
Well, this morning, for example, I occupied myself with a few small
I thought I should like to make some slight contribution on behalf of the
Republic.
Oh, Father.
Pearl. Oh, how lovely.
Father, you oughtn't to have done it.
Well, I thought perhaps Bill might like a little something.
Oh, Father, how sweet of you. I'm determined that that young man shall
of me. Bill will love you.
Why does he come?
It's so embarrassing.
I'll just put these right here by the phone.
Bill loves surprises.
I took one for him, too. And you dressed.
But doesn't it get improved?
Well, I hope not. I was very fond of that little girl.
And with all her faults?
With all her faults.
I don't ever want her to change.
What do you mean, change, Father?
That's what you've always put at the end of your letters.
Don't ever change.
I'll tell you, my dear.
I want you always to be the Sarah I knew as a child.
That Sarah had many rare qualities.
My urging you not to change was a sort of prayer.
When I learned you were to be married, I tried to write you about this. I tried
to say marriage is a compromise in which people sometimes sacrifice qualities
for which they should never part.
They lose grace.
Often love becomes so important to them that they become cowards through fear of
losing it. I don't want that to happen to you.
That's what I meant when I said don't change, my darling.
Don't ever change.
The
old
original boxcars, eh?
Yes, sir. Just the same.
Two more and make them the same.
Bill, I want to talk to you.
Oh, why not?
Well, how can I? You're getting away from me. You thought I might bite you.
Wouldn't you?
What do you think?
That you would.
Hadn't we better get going?
Yes, Bill.
George, two more champagne cocktails.
Yes, right away.
I'm having the time of my life.
I don't care if I never go home.
Me too.
You know, these tours are so educational.
I mean, they broaden one's soul.
Yeah, travel sure broadens one's soul. Well, it opened my eyes.
Is she flattered?
Oh.
You know?
We are going to have a charming married life.
We are going to have a charming married life?
We are... Oh.
Won't you have some more brandy, Father?
Oh, thank you, my dear.
You can certainly hold it, Father.
The result of years of application and never watching the clock.
Please go on, dear.
Well, uh... When we were in Venice, we ran into the Lowrys. Venice is an
extremely beautiful city.
Oh, I've said all that before.
Father, I'm so sorry.
You're not interested, dear. You don't have to stay any longer.
But I've telephoned, my dear. I should be a trifle late, and tomorrow would do
just as well.
Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow.
That's Shakespeare, isn't it?
It doesn't matter.
Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow.
No, I don't seem to remember it.
Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow.
It doesn't matter, Father.
Oh, did I tell you that the Gurneys are living in Cannes now?
No, isn't that nice, Father?
Isn't that nice? Tell me about the Gurneys.
Well, Mr.
Gurney, it seems, is interested in some sort of agricultural chemical
manufactories near Indianapolis.
He is the inventor, or possibly not the inventor, but the user of a very
interesting process by which certain chemical salts are extracted from the
ground. I believe it's called the Northcliffe Process.
Oh, yes, the Northcliffe Process.
I think it's the Northcliffe Process.
He's explained it to me several times.
Still, I can't be certain, Betsy.
Why didn't he come, Father? There, there, dear.
I took Fred. I'm sure nothing can have happened to him.
Oh, come, come, dear.
Come, come.
Hotel Savoy?
Mr.
William Truesdale Suite, please.
Hello?
Wow! What a washout you turned out to be!
Oh, I'm glad to have known you. Where do you want your suitcases sent?
Say, why don't you come around sometime? Meet your new father -in -law.
Get to know your wife's family.
Who's that with you? The beautiful Evie?
I thought so.
Well, you needn't bring... Oh, hello, Evie.
Well, isn't this lovely?
Oh, I'm crazy to see you.
Why don't you and Bill come around sometime?
Yeah, of course I'm not angry with him.
What nonsense.
No, I'm dying to see you.
Come along now.
Bring Bill with you.
Fine, I'm crazy to see him. Bye.
All right, dear? Oh, great, yes.
Everything's just dandy.
Bill ran into an old friend and forgot about lunch.
He must have had a good time.
I like to see young people have a good time.
I'm glad he wasn't run over, though. No, I'm not. I wish he had been. It would
have served him right.
Father, I'm so sorry.
Please forgive him. Of course. Although I'm afraid I really can't wait. No, of
course not.
He doesn't deserve to meet you. You've been a darling.
Well, I think I might have a little letdown now.
Come on, Father.
Let's have some wine. Let's celebrate.
Bill's triumphant return. He who was lost. The bar, please.
This is Mrs. William Truesdale, 184.
Will you set up some champagne, please?
Oh, I don't know.
Enough for three, I think. Can't you possibly stay, Father? Not possibly.
for three.
Two ladies and a gentleman.
Yes, have it very cold, please. Very cold.
A very cold gentleman.
Oh, Father.
I wish you could stay.
So do I, dear.
I'd like you to meet Bill's idea of a wonderful girl.
Oh, my dear, what a wonderful girl.
Father, he's been so naughty.
Please forgive him.
Let's both forgive him. What do you say?
God bless you, Father.
You've been so sweet.
I'll see you tonight.
Yes.
Oh, tell Bill I was sorry I couldn't wait. Yes, dear.
You're still my daughter.
You think so?
I do. Always stay that way, won't you, dear? Promise your father.
I promise, Father.
See you tonight.
Goodbye. Goodbye, dear.
Put it on the table?
All right.
I'll put it on the table.
Johnny! The same, but you are Mrs. William Truesdale.
Johnny, what a surprise!
Surprise? Didn't they tell you when I was coming up? No.
Well, I'll go down and come up again. You do nothing of the sort.
Oh, Johnny!
Oh, this is too amusing.
Amusing? I mean, it's wonderful, but just this time.
Oh, I could die laughing.
Well, anything to amuse you, sir.
Johnny, my old boyhood friend.
Oh, I'm so glad to see you.
You're glad to see me, huh? Of course I am.
Come on.
How's your husband? Where is he?
Oh, he's fine. He'll be here in a minute. Sit down.
Yes.
What am I going to do when he comes back? Jump out of a window or something?
no. I know these husbands.
Oh, dear.
How is Bill?
He's great. Fine.
Will you have something to drink?
There's some champagne coming up.
Champagne? Uh -huh. Well, what is it? A brothel?
No. I'm celebrating.
It's my anniversary.
How's Bill treating you?
Oh, great.
Great.
Not a mark on my beautiful white body. We've been married a month. Oh,
remarkable, remarkable. Oh, yes. Incredible.
Where is this Bill?
He went for the mail.
Oh, he went. I see.
Well, I've gone for mail. That's all right. He went for the mail.
You ought to try matrimony, Johnny.
Yeah.
Only my girl went off and got married.
You got a new girl?
I don't know.
Have I?
Yes, I have. And a nice girl, a very lovely girl.
She's a debutante.
She came out in the bar at Zellie's. Oh, and it was so romantic the way I
happened to meet her.
I just took out my pocketbook and there she was.
Oh, Johnny.
If you ever love anybody but me, I'll never forgive you. Hey, I've never said
loved you.
I know.
Why didn't you?
Why didn't I what?
Oh, what a kind of... Come in.
Entree. Ah, the drinkies. Will you just sit there, please?
What's... What's this? Who's coming?
I... I asked Evie to drop in.
You asked Evie? Well... Evie Lawrence?
Yes. Why not?
My dear.
Oh, why not?
Is Bill still sore at Evie?
What's Bill got to be sore at, Stoop?
Didn't he marry a much better girl?
Well, the girls grow tall in Kansas.
The girls grow tall in Kansas.
Oh, come on, let's celebrate.
The boys grow small, but the gals live more in Kansas.
I saw Evie this morning.
Oh, yeah?
How does she look?
Terrible, I hope.
I think she's gaining a little weight.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh, that's terrible, terrible.
Did Bill have lunch with Evie?
Of course.
Have some wine, huh?
My, my, my.
You're drinking now and everything, huh? Oh, yes. Oh, I've changed terribly,
don't you think?
You can't make out.
You seem a little, shall I say, distraught.
You are? Yeah.
You never liked Bill, did you, Johnny?
Sarah.
I could tell by your letter.
You didn't want me to marry him.
Sarah.
This is a little embarrassing, isn't it?
Nonsense, John.
We're awfully old friends.
I loved your letter.
It was the only one that was honest.
Well, I was a little drunk when I wrote it.
You backing out?
No.
No, I meant every word I said.
I'm awfully fond of you, Johnny.
It's mutual, kid.
What?
Nothing. I'll tell you someday.
Tell me now.
Tell me now.
Give it to me for a wedding present.
I gave you a wedding present. It cost me 78 bucks.
Well, I wrote you a polite note. A very dull note.
Well, I didn't know what the present had cost.
Here we are.
Here we are.
Oh, it's over.
Oh, it's just begun.
Hello, Evie.
Hello, darling. I'm so happy to see you. Hello, darling.
I'm so happy to see you.
Why,
sir, you've got my dress on. Yes, and it'll be coming to us. Well, they told
to... I'm furious.
Oh, don't be, Evie. It'll look much better on you.
Come along, let's have a little drink. Say, what's going on here?
Well, as a matter of fact, I was just making love to your wife. I was trying
get her to leave you, Bill. Is that nice on my honeymoon? I've been telling
Johnny how you beat me.
Did Lyman beat you over, Evie?
Often enough.
Where is Lyman, by the way?
Oh, he's somewhere.
That would be a comfort. Here, Evie.
Oh, we had so much at lunch. Oh, yes, I forgot. You were celebrating.
Did you, Bill? Thanks.
Johnny and I were celebrating, too, weren't we, Johnny?
Celebrating what? My anniversary.
I've been married a month today.
Well, that's a strange coincidence.
So have I.
Oh, I'm awfully sorry about luncheon, dear. I really tried to telephone. Wait
minute. I had a beautiful lunch with Father and a nice talk with Johnny.
Well, you see, Evie wanted to show me a place that... Yes, I know. Here, Johnny.
I was looking for a present for you.
Yes, well, Father brought me a present for you, too. It's over there on the
desk.
Well, to Evie and Lyman.
Let's make this a regular party, huh?
Hello? The bar, please.
Well, if no one else wants to, to Bill and that lucky girl, Sarah.
Some champagne, please. How much?
Fill all you've got.
Well,
Sarah?
Here are the drawings of the old farmhouse.
Oh, Johnny, it's lovely.
I hope Bill likes it.
Oh, you sure do.
I love it.
I've been working on these plans for a month since we left Paris.
Well, when can we move in?
Oh, a couple of months.
Hooray! You see that?
Johnny Cole, my favorite architect.
See that? Mrs. William Truesdale, my favorite client.
Well, you've done a swell job, Sarah.
You did it.
Well,
I didn't find all these doodads to put around.
Well, you made the places for them.
Yeah?
It's been a lot of fun, Sarah.
Fun? I've never had so much fun in my life.
Neither has Bill.
Gee, I wish I had a home like this.
Why don't you get married?
No gal.
What?
Still no girl?
Still faithful to you, Sarah.
Anyhow, I think we'll wait and see how the new club for marriages turns out.
Lyman and Evie don't seem to be so... Other?
Really? That's interesting news.
Which picked that up?
Oh, I don't know.
Somebody saw them the other night.
Said Evie looked most unhappy.
Did she?
Bill hasn't mentioned it.
Yeah, well... Well, why don't you
say it?
Say what?
That she wouldn't look unhappy while she was with Bill.
And don't look at me like that.
Yeah.
I didn't even know that Bill ever...
Saw Evie. Oh, you can't help seeing Evie.
Sarah, is Evie coming to the party tonight?
No.
I made sure of that.
Sarah, are you losing your sense of humor?
Yes. No.
All right.
I must go home and change my clothes.
I think a week from tomorrow night will be a good night for the housewarming
bill. Sure.
Who should we ask?
Oh, you know.
Anyone you want, I might have overlooked.
No, I don't think so.
Oh,
there's Evie and Lyman.
I thought Evie wasn't coming here tonight.
Oh, sure.
Did you see her today?
Why, yes. I bumped into her.
Oh, you bumped into her.
Shall we ask Evie and Lyman to the housewarming?
Why, sure.
I want the housewarming to be good and warm.
You shouldn't talk like that, Sarah.
If Evie heard, it might hurt her feelings.
Oh, that would be just too bad.
Boy, you know it was.
Well, until you get that cat that ate the canary look, I'll try to liken you.
That a girl.
You never can tell how an attempt like that will turn out.
I've tried to like spinach for years.
Martin.
What do you say we go outside?
All right.
Would you and Bill mind if I went home now?
We're not going home, though. Yes, it's really late. Evie will want to stay till
the bitter end.
Yes, of course.
Well, she's having a good time, but I've got to be downtown early in the
morning.
I'm sure you and Bill will look after her. Of course, Norman.
Well, don't you think that's a good idea, considering the energy I'll need
the morning?
Yes. Good night, Sarah.
Good night. Say good night to the others for me, won't you? Yes, I will. Good
night. Good night, Norman.
You seem to be having a good time, too.
Yeah.
And, uh, what are you doing out here?
Oh, I like it out here.
Well, go on inside.
No, I think I'll just stay out and think.
Oh, think, huh?
Don't let that frighten you.
Well,
I'm going in.
I have to go in.
I'm supposed to dance with Liz.
And after I dance with Liz, I'm going home.
I can't remember any other obligations I have.
Please don't go home yet, Johnny.
I'm having a rotten time.
Please don't go.
All right, kid.
Johnny, come back.
The water's great.
It's all right when you get used to it.
And a cup of cold water in it.
Thanks, Bill.
You should have been a light guard.
That's an idea.
Oh, I know about light guards.
Are you cold?
Not now.
and I'm dead.
You didn't drive very fast.
Oh, no.
Lots of times the speedometer was way down to waiting. I'm sorry. I didn't
realize I was going so fast. It's all right. Sir, where is something to drink?
Oh, it's in here. I'll just keep up with him for a week. Would you like a drink?
Yes, yes, please. Certainly.
What's the matter with him?
What's the matter with everybody?
I tell you, I'm worried stiff about Sarah and what I'd like to do to Bill
Eve. It's disgusting tonight.
Everybody was talking about them. Yes, but you know... I tell you, you can only
drive that girl so far.
She threw a bowl of goldfish at Mother once.
Miss? Yes?
It's too bad.
She doesn't look to be in a throwing mood to me.
Well, that's what worries me.
If she'd only get sore, I could... Oh, thanks.
Thanks.
Sarah, you look tired.
That's good.
Oh, you don't at all. You look great. Yes, I'll bet I do.
You make me feel I married the wrong sister.
Would you like to trade, Liz?
Bill would make you a wonderful husband.
You'd know where he was all the time.
Listen to her. At least you'd know where he was if Evie was around.
For heaven's sake, snap out of it.
Liz, take your husband out and feed him.
What about you, kid?
I'm not hungry.
Now, don't argue with old Dr.
Crawford. He knows when you're hungry.
Let me see your tongue.
Ah.
Excessive hunger.
Now strip.
Oh, doctor, you go on.
That a girl. That a Sarah.
I guess you're not the only funny one in this family.
No, I guess not.
We ought to get up a ball to be like.
We could do...
Sawing a woman in two.
Well, you saw Liz in two.
Oh, you'd only give one performance of that.
Or is there somebody else you'd like to have sawed in two?
Yes.
You win. I know.
No fooling.
Well, what are we having here? Gloom on toast?
Oh, this is charming, Sarah.
Yes, we remodeled it from an old cow shed.
Look.
How's that go?
Huh?
Oh.
Is that it?
That's it.
I'm glad that was it.
with an apple and a good book.
Look at your tie and your hair.
Come here.
No, don't.
Come here.
Look behind his ears, Evie, before you leap.
Hit on the radio.
There's nothing on.
Oh, I want to dance.
Play something, Johnny.
Goodbye.
Where's Johnny going?
Poor Johnny.
I feel so sorry for Johnny.
Let's go and cheer him up. You don't think a better man than I am going to
I've never laughed so hard in my life. Yeah, well, I'm glad somebody can laugh
around here.
Who was that attractive couple?
Oh, I'm sorry, Sarah. I should have introduced you.
I suppose, of course, you know each other.
That was a Mr. William Truesdale.
Your husband, you know.
Oh, yes, my husband. A very attractive young man, too.
Married to Liz Crawford, Sister Sarah.
Very interesting girl, Sarah.
Plays the flute beautifully, they say. Liz,
why did I marry Bill?
Bill's all right, Sarah.
I'm licked.
Sarah, that doesn't mean anything.
It's just one of those affairs.
An affair? Oh, I hate that word.
Beth, I don't see why marriages have to end in a series of affairs.
Why can't marriage be decent?
Beth, I love Bill.
I'll give Bill everything I've got.
they have, Evie.
Oh, well, where have you been all evening?
Where have I been?
Oh, Bill, you're wonderful.
Drink, Sarah?
Nothing. Evie said you were with Lyman.
I'm having an affair with Lyman.
A desperate affair.
He practically held my hand all evening.
Practically? He had Lyman all right.
He wants me to have lunch with him.
Aren't you jealous?
Of Lyman?
Don't make me laugh.
Poor Lyman. He gets along all right. Eight million dollars, can't be wrong.
A lot of good it does him.
I could use some of it.
Oh, Bill, you wouldn't want Lyman's money, too.
Too? Yes, isn't it usually your money or your wife?
Sarah, why do you insist on spoiling a perfectly good evening?
You've spoiled mine.
I didn't mean to.
Bill, how much longer am I going to have to put up with you and Evie? Oh, that's
silly. It's not silly. It is silly.
But, Bill, don't you see what it's doing to me? Well, it oughtn't.
Yes, but it is.
Now, Bill, I want to be a sport about this, but I can't stand not knowing what
you're thinking or doing.
I'm not doing anything.
Bill, I wish you'd talk to me.
I wish you'd treat me as your wife.
I wish you'd love me.
I love you.
Why do you make me so unhappy?
Don't you realize what I'm going through?
Well, you oughtn't. But I am.
Oh, Bill, don't be like this.
I love you so. I love you so. Oh, Sarah, look. Come on.
Bill, you used to love me.
Oh, Sarah, for heaven's sake, snap out of it. I need you still. I need you
still. This is the most ridiculous exhibition I've ever seen.
Oh, come on. Let's go in the other room and forget it. Come on.
Oh, go on, Bill.
But, darling, don't you... I'll come in a minute.
Well... Go on, please.
What's the matter?
I can't get a thing.
Everybody must be dead.
I'm not.
What's wrong, Sarah?
Sarah?
What's wrong, Sarah?
Oh.
Everything's wrong.
Yeah.
Everything.
Of course everything's wrong.
You can't go on like this, dear.
No. It isn't right. It isn't fair.
Bill doesn't love you, Sarah. How do you know?
Bill doesn't love you, Sarah. Or he wouldn't do the things to you he's
Bill did love me.
I love you now, Sarah.
I want you to be happy.
If I went with you... It would be life.
For both of us.
Life.
And I love you so much.
I love you so much that I... I can't do without you, sir.
I need you.
I need you, sir.
Johnny.
Get up, Johnny. I can't bear to see you on your knees.
Johnny, get up, please.
Sit there.
Now promise me something.
Promise me you'll never go on your knees to anyone again.
I've just been on my knees.
People don't want that.
Want that. But I love you, sir.
I know you do, Johnny, but... Love... It mustn't make you beg.
Oh, Johnny, we've both been so wrong.
I didn't realize how wrong until I saw you on your knees just now.
That made me see.
We're not beggars, Johnny.
I don't understand.
I know, Johnny, but you will.
That's all I can say.
That's all my father could say when I didn't understand.
Love is a compromise, he said.
Love is a compromise in which people sometimes lose grace.
I've lost grace, Johnny.
That must never happen to you, dear.
You're much too fine.
What's going to become of Sarah?
I'm going to be all right.
You've done something for me.
I can't understand it quite, but... I feel strangely free.
As though I'd waken from a bad dream.
You've given me back something.
I shall always remember you for that.
And love you.
Now, don't feel sorry.
No.
Oh, you're what counts.
You, yourself.
Don't need people.
You've got yourself.
I think I'd better go, dear.
Goodbye, John.
You're a dear, dear person.
God bless you.
Well, anyhow, I have an egg in French.
There.
I'd like to talk to Bill.
Alone. What about?
You can tell me. I'm married.
Oh, Liz, haven't I been too disgusting?
No. What have you done?
What have I done?
What have I done?
I've groveled. I've begged.
I've felt sorry for myself. I've cried about myself.
Well, what of it? What of it?
Oh, Liz, everything of it.
I've had no courage.
I've had no pride.
I've been humble. I've been meek.
I've taken insults from people.
I've let people walk over me.
I've let Evie walk over me.
Evie, that. Sarah, you... Oh, I must see Bill.
Oh, but Sarah... Oh, this is so wonderful.
It's all come back to me. Well, that's great. What's come back to you?
Everything. My sense, for one thing.
You don't mean to say it's the old Sarah? Yes, I think so. Well, well, glad
see you back. We certainly missed you. Have a nice trip. An awful trip. We got
your postcard.
Tell us all about it.
Well, the first day out, I fell in love with one of the sailors.
Just in time. Sarah's been telling us about her love affair.
Oh, yeah?
I'm in love with one of the sailors.
Did I ever tell you about love, Les? No, tell us about love. Oh, love is a
wonderful thing.
Love makes the birds sing. Love makes the glass grow. Love makes the cold in
head, the grip, the arousal, the constipation, the tired feeling. Sarah!
being tickled! My friends, this brand of love does wonders. I know a little girl
who took one bottle and it went right to her knees.
Now take our cheaper brand of love, our number four brand, for unfortunate young
husbands. One swallow of this and they see their old girls again. Two swallows
and they forget their wives.
Bill, that's enough. Three swallows and they become just a set of lambs to be
led around.
This is our cheapest brand. Sarah! You'll take me home.
Is she drunk?
That was a fairly cheap thing to do.
Oh, I don't know.
You certainly had the cause, you know. Oh, no, I didn't.
Sarah,
you're not going to go noble on this.
Oh, please, darling, don't go noble. Oh, Liz, you stoop to. I look noble.
Liz, will you ask Bill to come in just a minute? I wouldn't do that, kid. I
certainly wouldn't, at least not right now, Sarah. Yes, right now.
Oh, I know what's in your mind.
I know what divorce would mean to both of you.
This marriage is something I got myself into, and I'll see it through if Bill
will give me a chance.
But I've got to see it through on different terms.
I agree, but this may not be just the time. If you could just let it slide.
No, I can't let it slide. You're tired, Sarah. I'm not tired. I feel great.
This is something I've got to do now or never.
Won't you wait until tomorrow?
I guess it'll be now.
Les, will you and Liz let me talk to Sarah for a moment?
Certainly, Bill.
I guess it's up to us to get out the photograph album.
See you later, kid.
Look here, Sarah.
Yes, sir?
Have you been drinking?
No, sir.
Cross my heart.
This isn't funny. This is serious. You just let me know, Bill.
If you've been drinking, I can understand it. Well, it's not my breath.
I want to give you every chance.
That's right. Be fair to me, Bill.
Listen, Sarah.
There are some things I do not expect my wife to do. And there are a good many
more she doesn't expect her husband to do. Never again, so long as you live, do
I want you to do a thing like that in front of other people.
All right, then what?
It wasn't so much you're making fun of Evie, but it was the way you did it.
All right, then what? You made fun of Evie and you made fun of me. Yes, I've
heard. You made fun of me and you made fun of love.
You joked about our love.
That's all it means to you.
One moment I find you crying about how much you love me.
Go on. Then I come back and the whole thing is a joke to you. A joke on me.
the joke was on me. Oh, you must have been drunk.
So help me, Sarah.
If our love and our marriage is that much of a joke to you... What?
Well, I don't see any point in going on with it.
I'm not even thinking about that just now.
At this moment, marriage is of no importance to me, and neither is love.
Sarah, you don't mean that.
Would you like to know what love has done to me, Bill?
Love has made me a small person.
A weak and cowardly person.
I based my whole life on this marriage.
I clung to it like a greedy child.
I loved you.
My one fear was losing you.
I became bitter and resentful and churlish.
I snarled at Evie and I cursed at you.
And tonight I turned beggar.
I begged you to love me.
It wasn't as bad as all that.
Oh, I saw love tonight, Bill.
I saw it for the first time.
And I know now that love is dependent.
Poignantly dependent.
It needs so much from the loved one.
It was the need I felt for you tonight when I went begging.
Sarah. That need is gone now, Bill.
It's strange that anything so overpowering should vanish so suddenly.
But it has.
I'm alone again, but I'm not lonely.
My love doesn't need you any longer.
But you don't seem to realize that marriage isn't... Marriage isn't what?
Well... Well, whatever marriage is, Bill, it isn't more important than
inside of me that's been dying.
Nothing is.
I'm sorry.
These seem to be all in order.
There, dear.
Your certificate of residence in Paris.
The affidavit of your witnesses.
And your divorce complaint.
These, madame, you sign.
All these papers for one little divorce?
Where are they? On the line, please.
Who's in my bathroom?
Who's there? The great lover.
Oh, yes.
I remember you.
Well, thanks for the visit. Goodbye.
Oh, Sarah, please wait. I want to talk to you.
A man can't talk to a bathtub.
Is your head underwater?
No. Too bad.
I'll return after you've gone.
Oh, Sarah, please wait.
Oh, Sarah.
Is this any way to treat your husband?
You're not my husband.
At least you won't be long.
I've come all the way to Paris just to... Well, why did you?
I left you the whole United States.
Oh, I was a fool, Sarah.
It was all my fault.
No, it wasn't your fault, Bill.
It wasn't anybody's fault.
You married me on the rebound.
It was as much my fault as yours.
I shouldn't have married you.
I should have known you didn't love me.
Maybe I didn't until after you left me.
But I do love you now, Sarah.
How's Evie?
I haven't seen Evie since that night.
Besides, she's going to have a baby.
Oh, that's why you left New York. No.
Toss, Sarah.
I left because I couldn't stand it any longer without you.
I love you, Sarah.
I love you and you're all I love.
Let's try again.
Please let me try again.
Hello?
Oh, hello, darling. Pardon me.
Hello, dear.
Yes, I've just been waiting for your call.
I know, Angel.
Yes, I'm all ready.
The trunk's gone.
Sarah, this is your father.
Oh, we'll have a grand time.
Did you get the compartment?
Fine. Am I supposed to go somewhere with you?
I'll be there in a few minutes.
Oh, no, you mustn't stop by here for me. No, well, the place is all cluttered
up.
Now, I'll pick you up at your hotel, dear.
But, Sarah, you're speaking to your father.
Goodbye, darling.
Goodbye, Bill.
Goodbye, Sarah.
I want you.
I don't know why.
There are so many more attractive men.
Yes, dear.
But I'm Foolsdale, the great lover.
