"Buck Gonzales and his outfit." "He's a bad one." "We'd better be moseying along." "Right." "Come on, gang." "Come on, boys." "Boy, will I tip 'em over tonight." "Hello, Toby." "Hi, Butch." "Drinks for the crowd." "Okay, Toby." "Bourbon for me." "Make mine scotch." "A little more bourbon for me." "Shot of rye." "A mug of beer." "Double whiskey." "That rounds all sight." "That sounds all right." "Give me a "wouble diskey"- Oh, give me a Coca Cola." "Where's Cleo?" "She's around somewhere." "She's a grand girl." "You'd better watch out, Buck." "Cleo's plenty popular." "You ain't got no claim staked out on her." "You ain't married to her." "Married?" "No, I ain't never asked her." "Boss, they say that five minutes with her... and a guy's lucky to get away with his vaccination." "Cut it." "What's the matter, baby?" "Don't you like me anymore?" "Sure." "I'm just relaxing." "Hey, honey, when I make love, do I make love?" "What?" "Are you asking me or telling me?" "Say you love me, baby." "Why should I?" "What excuse has a gal like you for running around single?" "I was born that way." "You know, I'd like to take you away from all this." "All this?" "Oh, I get ya." "Yeah, for a long time I was ashamed of the way I lived." "You mean to say you reformed?" "No, I got over being ashamed." "Okay, what are you trying to do?" "Flag a train?" "Cleo, Buck Gonzales is downstairs... and looking all over for you." "It's a good thing he didn't look in here." "Come on." "Let's go, or you'll compromise me." "Hey, what's the rush?" "Where's the fire?" "In your eyes, big boy, in your eyes." "Hello, Cleo." "How about it?" "See you later." "Hello, Cleo." "How about a dance?" "See you later, boy." "Say, let's you and I melt into this music." "All right, sizzling man." "Got a man, what a man when he comes to town" "The sheriff leaves the neighborhood" "He's a bad man" "But he loves so good" "He's a wicked man" "But he loves so good" "There ain't a frail Or a jail" "That could ever hold him" "He's seven kinds of dynamite" "He's the wrong man" "But he loves me right" "He's the wrong man" "But he loves me right" "He's wanted in Tacoma and Oklahoma" "'Frisco Charlie claims" "He was put away in Santa Fe" "For robbing' Jesse James" "There ain't a pal or a gal" "That could ever hold him" "He'd do you dirty if he could" "He's a bad man" "But he loves so good" "So keen, so mean so tough, so rough" "So good" "Oh, swell." "Oh, do it.!" "Hello, Cleo." "I been looking for you." "Hey, wait a minute." "Beat it, you." "Beat it where?" "Always clowning, huh?" "Come here." "I want to talk to you." "Cowboy still knocking 'em over, huh?" "Any other dame, I wouldn't give a hoot." "When it comes to you, I'm dynamite." "Yes, and I'm your match." "You know, I been doing a lot of thinking about you lately." "Must be awfully tired." "What are they doing now?" "If there was music, I'd say they was dancing." "Oh!" "You know I always took what I wanted." "I guess the boys will give me the laugh, but I want you so much, I want to marry you." "Well, that's darn white of you." "I mean it, honey." "I want to marry you." "Marriage?" "That will be a new kind of racket for me." "I'm rich." "I'll give you everything." "Yes, everything I own:" "my ranch, the whole works." "Certainly make it sound attractive." "Then say you'll do it?" "I'll tell you what I'll do." "I'll roll you whether I do or I don't." "What do you say?" "It's a go." "Ladies first." "Oh, thank you." "Let me get this straight." "If I win, I don't marry you, but I get that strip of land on the Delta." "And if you lose, you marry me." "Yes, and I get everything you've got." "Right." "Will you put it in writing?" "Sure, sure." "I promise." "Wow." "This is my lucky day." "Well, you took me." "And you're all mine now, honey." "Well, what's happening?" "She's got him "toped, ride"- "ripe, toed"" "She's got him tied, roped and "bready" for "randing"- randy for bedding" "She's got him ready." "You ain't scared of me 'cause they say I'm a bad man?" "I'm a good woman for a bad man." "We'll get married tonight." "I'll get the justice of the peace out of bed." "Wait a minute." "Don't rush me." "What's the matter?" "It's going to take me two weeks to get my trousseau." "Your what?" "Wedding clothes to you." "You know, I'm a girl that likes nice things." "Two weeks is a long time to wait." "Well, I'll see what I can do about it." "Set 'em up." "The drinks are on me." "We're celebrating, folks." "Two weeks from today, Cleo and me are going to be married." "Speech!" "Speech!" "Speech!" "Speech!" "Speech!" "Speech!" "Well, I'm a woman of very few words but lots of action." "Well, hello, Sheriff." "Just in time to join us in a little drink." "I don't drink with a cattle rustler." "Oh, I thought cattle rustling was stopped in these here parts." "That's what a lot of people think, but it ain't never stopped... with fellas like Buck Gonzales around." "That's right." "Laugh." "Laugh while you can." "But someday I'm going to get you and get you right." "Oh, Buck ain't got nothing bad on his mind but me." "Excuse me a minute, baby." "I want to talk to the sheriff." "Where you going, Cleo?" "Be right back, boys." "Say, I hear you're going to marry Buck Gonzales." "How'd you ever get him?" "I just won him in a crap game." "The sheriff!" "." "Open the gate and stampede these steers." "I came here from the east four years ago." "I don't know anything about Buck Gonzales's outside transactions, but I can assure you, Sheriff, that I have kept the books of this ranch perfectly straight." "Oh, I don't doubt you." "I've been foreman here for five years." "None of us boys know about this business." "There's a car coming up the road now." "It must be her." "This is going to be a terrible shock to her on her wedding day." "Yeah." "Hello, Sheriff." "Awfully nice of you to come to my wedding." "What's the matter with you boys?" "I thought you were going to greet me with some wild shooting." "Uh, pardon me, Cleo, but there's a reason... and it ain't going to be easy to explain it on your wedding day." "You don't mean something happened to Buck." "Yes, miss." "I'm sorry, but it couldn't be helped." "Show me where he is." "I feel sorry for her." "Yeah." "May I offer my condolences?" "It's been a good deal of a shock to us all." "Yeah." "I made a bargain, and I was going to stick to it." "I don't keep souvenirs." "Maybe you'd like this." "What is it?" "It's an agreement between Buck and me." "I guess it's the first time he ever agreed with anyone." "Why, that's his signature." "Yeah." "He signed it, if that's what you mean, and the sheriff sealed it." "I'm not so sure." "This says that in consideration of your consenting to marry him..." "Buck signs over all his property to you." "Yeah, but he gets shot first." "You kept your part of the bargain." "You did consent?" "I certainly did." "Twice." "Hmm." "Well, then I think this is a matter for the law to decide." "You don't mean that I" "Well, that will help pay for my feelings." "Well, Miss Borden, after due deliberation, the court has decided that all the holdings and properties... of the deceased, Buck Gonzales, belong to you." "You've acted in good faith, and you've done your best to fulfill your bargain." "Judge, wherever there's a man concerned, I always do my best." "Now, as one of the richest women in our state, let me advise you to look out for crooks." "You let the crooks look out for themselves." "Well, what's next on the program?" "Well, the next is for you to check over these." "You check them over." "Oh, I can't do that." "You see, this is my final accounting for the Gonzales estate;" "and if it's satisfactory, then my work is through." "What do you mean "through"?" "Well, I've finished my job." "Can you imagine this guy,judge?" "After he gets me into the big money, he wants to walk out on me." "It's time for me to get back east." "I'm going to pay you a salary that'll be... positively indecent for you to turn down." "Very kind of you." "What do you say?" "All right, I suppose I'll have to stay... and look after the cattle and the men for you." "Just the cattle." "I'll take care of the men." "We've covered quite a few miles, Miss Cleo." "Oh, I'm used to that." "Only on the dance floor, it was my feet that hurt." "I guess you've seen about all the ranch now, except the oil field." "Oh, I was over there yesterday." "Yeah?" "Everything suit ya?" "Mmm." "Especially that good-looking boss." "You mean Carrington, the Englishman." "Is that what he is?" "Kind of thought that body looked imported." "You give him good ride today." "Yesterday, no good." "Nice animal." "That's Cactus, the fastest horse in the west." "Buck was going to race him this winter." "Just a little gun shy, Miss Cleo." "Ride him with a firecracker, and he'd beat Man O' War." "Oh, yeah?" "Hey, didn't I tell you fellas not to shoot guns... in front of that horse?" "It'd be all right if they wouldn't scare him." "After he knows you better, he'll follow you around like a dog." "Well, I hope he don't take a notion and jump up in my lap." "Sorry not to bring Mr. Carrington back with me." "He couldn't come." "You mean he refused?" "Well, uh, no, not exactly that." "He objected to coming while he was working on the oil wells." "Oh, well, I'll remove those." "The oil wells?" "No, the objections." "I want you to pay particular attention to this." "You know, I'm leaving in a few days, and you'll have to carry on without me." "Where is the company sending you now, to Siberia?" "No,just Buenos Aires." "If these gushers come in the way we hope," "Gonzales's heiress will be one of the richest women in the world." "I don't suppose she'd know what to do with it." "Do you know her?" "Seen her, heard her." "Impressed?" "I'm afraid she's rather crude oil." "Get a good chisel edge on it." "Get it right out to gauge." "Hey, handsome!" "The lady's calling you." "Yes, I heard her." "She wants to talk to you." "Sorry, I'm too busy." "He's too busy." "Oh, he wants to be coaxed." "Uh, uh, no - I know what I'm doing." "Look here." "What do you mean by shooting at me?" "I don't happen to be a target, you know, not even for somebody like you." "Ooh, what do you know about me?" "Just what I see, and that's quite sufficient." "Well, you're easily satisfied." "Well, what do you want with me?" "Nothing yet." "You possess an extraordinary sense of humor." "Yes, and that ain't all." "Well, I'm afraid you'll have to excuse me." "I'm rather busy for this sort of chitchat." "Oh, English, huh?" "Yes." "Do you mind?" "No, I rather like it." "Give me room, boys." "Put that ten-inch bit into the furnace." "Chitchat." "You know, I like that guy." "You can hardly hope to win a man, treating him that way." "Oh, yeah?" "Say, listen." "As long as he's drilling holes in my property," "I want to know what it's all about." "And you see that he gets over to my place tonight and brings his blueprints." "All right, Miss Cleo." "I'll check up on that guy." "Hello, boys." "Good evening." "What about them 2,000 head of cattle for Chicago?" "All right, let 'em go." "Yes, ma'am." "Well, you look very charming." "As good as an oil well?" "Oil well?" "There's a guy dropping in that ain't got anything else on his mind." "Oh, Carrington." "He's coming to make a report." "After he leaves, I might be able to give you one." "My dear, I'm afraid you don't quite understand about Carrington." "He's a man, ain't he?" "Well, yes." "Well, that's all I got to know." "What I mean to say is he's the type of person who would only be deeply interested... in someone in his own social stratum." "Stratum?" "What's that?" "Something I ain't got?" "If you'll forgive my saying so, there's a certain amount of, well, background... that you haven't had the opportunity of acquiring." "Oh, you mean I ain't exactly a lady." "Mm-hmm." "Never mind." "Our little bet still goes." "All right, but I'm afraid you're going to lose." "Say, I'll make him forget he ever saw a stratum." "Good evening." "Well, we'll agree on that anyway." "Come in." "I brought everything you asked for." "So I see." "Well, uh, shall we get down to business?" "Yeah, sit down." "Thank you." "Cigarette?" "No, thanks." "Drink?" "No, thank you." "What?" "No vices?" "I'm afraid we aren't getting anywhere." "Mmm, did you notice that too?" "Go ahead, go ahead." "Now, this map represents your entire property." "This curved portion is the main body, and this is the undeveloped territory." "We'll have to do something about that." "Uh, these shaded areas are those indicated... in the geological survey as being oil bearing." "You amaze me." "Quite interesting." "Quite interesting." "These circles mark the location of the wells drilled to date." "As you can see, we've covered the entire field very thoroughly." "Isn't it possible there's something you've overlooked?" "Positively not." "Everything that looked in the least encouraging have been taken care of, and I can assure you that all this property you are getting the most out of." "How can you be so sure?" "Look for yourself." "Why, you'd be surprised at the things that don't show up on a map." "Not if you know how to read them." "Everything on this property that's at all worthwhile is right here on this paper." "Well, that's encouraging." "So you do understand?" "Yeah." "Come on." "Why don't you release those brakes?" "Brakes?" "I don't know what you mean." "No?" "Well, you know I was Buck Gonzales's chase, don't you?" "You heard of him." "Yes, I knew the bandit." "Bandit?" "Oh, you're one of those guys with principles, eh?" "Kind of different, ain't you?" "Look here." "You can't expect me to be very sociable... after the crude way you treated me today." "Oh, I'll admit I was a little crude, but you like me." "I admire your conceit." "I know." "You been used to dames that serve pink tea... and stick out their little fingers when they drink it, but I like you anyway." "You know, this is the first time I ever came in contact with a woman like you." "Well, if I can help it, it won't be the last." "You know, I can be different if I want to." "You ain't seen my better side." "You're a dangerous woman." "Thanks." "You look good to me too." "Come here." "What's the matter?" "You afraid of me?" "Afraid of you?" "Yeah." "Hello, gents." "I'm sorry, Miss Cleo." "That's all right." "Why, you guys should never bet with me." "This kind of stuff is my specialty." "You seem to be having a delightful time at my expense." "Would you mind telling me what it's all about?" "Yes, yes, yes." "These gentlemen and I had a little bet that you couldn't be made..." "Made a fool of." "Is that it?" "Well, you succeeded nobly, didn't you?" "I got to get this signed, please, ma'am." "All I need is a little more time to work on that guy." "Yes." "Thank you, ma'am." "The trouble is I'm afraid you won't have the opportunity." "No?" "He's going away." "Going away?" "Well, why didn't you tell me?" "Where's he going?" "His company's sending him to Buenos Aires." "Buenos Aires?" "You mean down in South America, where the races are." "I been reading about that in here." "There." "Is she a lady?" "Mrs. Crane Brittany?" "I should say that she was." "He'll be finding a lot of them down there, won't he?" "Naturally." "Well, he'll find one he don't expect." "What do you mean?" "I'm gonna take a shot at this lady business, and you got to help me." " I'll do everything I can." " It'll take more than that." "First step to my education's gonna be an ocean trip." "To Buenos Aires?" "Yes, and I'm going to put that horse Cactus in the International Sweepstake." "That's a surprise." "Do you consider yourself a good judge of horseflesh?" "I don't know." "I never ate any." "There's a big difference in this dump and the joint I used to work in." "Not "dump." This place." "Well, it's the same thing." "Do you wish a table?" "Where are they taking the bets for tomorrow's races?" "Oh, that's in the bar, madame." "That's a good place for it." "Lead on, big boy, lead on." "Who is she?" "Haven't you heard?" "No." "You don't say." "Which one of them dames is a lady?" "Never point." "They're all model ladies." "I guess these guys must be gentlemen." "They all got white shirts on." "Clothes alone don't make the gentleman." "I've found that out." "Here you are, madame." "Ten on Montezuma." "500 on Montezuma." "Tres cientos pesos on Montezuma." "200 on Bonnie Lassie." "500 on Montezuma." "Montezuma seems to be head man around here." "Yes, evidently the favorite." "I'll put a stop to that." "1,000 plasters on Cactus." "Mil pesos por Cactus." "Cactus, the American horse?" "Yeah." "Oh, waiter, give me a shot of snake" " Two creme de cocoas, please." "Yeah, that's what I meant." "Vodka." "Vodka, what's that?" "A name of a horse or a drink?" "That, madame, is a famous Russian drink." "You think of vodka, you think of Russia." "And when you drink it, you think of everything." "I don't need vodka for that." "Oh, excuse me." "Permit me to introduce myself." "I am Vladimir Stepanovich Zanin." "Oh, you don't say?" "Well, my name's a couple of inches shorter than yours." "I'm Cleo Borden, and this is Mr. Winslow." "Happy to meet you." "I beg your pardon, Cleo." "Save your dignity." "It's all in fun." "Well" "Say, ain't that the dame in the magazine?" "Yes." "Mrs. Crane Brittany." "Who's the bullfighter she's got in tow?" "He's not a bullfighter." "He's also a Russian." "But I want you to understand there are Russians and Russians." "You don't care for him, huh?" "You're right." "Too bad." "He looks like quite a gent." "Gentleman." "That's all right." "I was just abbreviatin'." "300 on Montezuma." "100 on Viceroy." "Yes, ma'am. 2,000 on Bonnie Lassie, please." "Five grand on Cactus, right on the nostril." "My dear young lady, aren't you a trifle overoptimistic about that horse?" "No, honey, I'm just being conservative." "But Bonnie Lassie's a Derby winner." "To me, a Derby is just a hat." "Well, you'll find out the difference tomorrow." "That calls for a side bet." "Name your figure." "Of course, if you want to be so foolish." "Shall we say 10,000 at prevailing odds?" "Make it 20, and I'll call it a deal." "That's satisfactory." "We'll settle it at the track tomorrow." "All right, I'll trust you." "Oh, cigarette me, Cossack." "It's a pleasure to be of service to la blonde Americaine." "You call your shots, don't ya?" "Come, Ivan." "We must be going." "Uh, buenas noches." "Same to you." "Hasta manana." "I didn't know you spoke Spanish." "Don't think I worked in Tijuana for nothin'." "At the stables, where the horses for tomorrow's race are quartered, there's a certain horse in stall eight... that positively must be kept from running in tomorrow's sweepstakes." "Apart from the money I should lose if that horse should win, his owner needs a lesson in keeping her place that she won't forget." "Should you enjoy being richer by a few thousand?" "Now you interest me." "You'll do it?" "Why not?" "And now's the time to do it." "You'll get out here." "Stop the car, Rogers." "The stables aren't far from here." "You may decide for yourself what means you wish to employ." "It will be done, but, uh, didn't we speak about money?" "The rest tomorrow." "Yeah, show me the silver one." "Bien, madame." "I hope you're satisfied with your gowns." "Everything else seems to be going smoothly." "Have you heard anything about Carrington?" "I hope I ain't doin' all this for nothin'." "Oh, he's here all right." "I've made discreet inquiries." "You think he'd be at the races tomorrow?" "I shouldn't be surprised." "I hope you're right." "You imagine me falling for that guy?" "And I'm supposed to be a smart dame that knows all the answers." "And I guess the answer to that is that there's no one too smart for love." "Good night, my dear." "Good night, Winslow." "Montezuma. 500 pesos." "Thank you." "No, don't." "No?" "Oh, pardon me." "Oh, hello." "Madame, I'm so thrilled at seeing you again." "So nice." "For one kiss of your lips, I would give half of my life." "See me tomorrow." "I'll kiss you twice." "Bonjour, Ivan, bonjour." "Presentez-moi, mais presentez-moi." "Si, si." "May I introduce Captain Du Pont, famous soldier of fortune?" "Oh, a hero." "Correct, madame." "Madame, Lieutenant Mendoza, Senor Alvarez." "How are you, boys?" "I'm sorry." "I didn't get your name." "Well, that's not your fault." "You tried hard enough." "Where have I seen your lovely face before?" "Same place you see it now." "Hmm, there's one in a million, figuratively speaking." "She's that much-talked-about cattle queen who was going to run Cactus." "Oh, yes." "I've heard of her." "They struck oil on her ranch." "She's worth millions." "Shocking what sort of people have money nowadays." "Mrs. Brittany." "May I speak to you alone?" "Fletcher, I'll join you later at the bar." "I want to explain." "Isn't that Cactus?" "That's what I want to explain." "Trying to carry out your orders, I got into trouble." "I was unsuccessful." "Yes, so I see." "Sorry, boys, but this is private." "Well, how's everything?" "Cactus no sleep last night." "Me think him catch cold." "Caught cold?" "That would have to happen now." "Come here." "Listen, I'm not taking any chances around here after what happened last night." "There's an extra bonus for you if you'll beat Cactus." "I don't care how you do it." "Anything goes." "Remember, you stand at the three-quarter pole and keep your eye on me." "Yes, lady." "Here, Señor Carrington." "Rub Montezuma's nose for good luck." "Remember you are wearing the Lopez colors." "Do them honor." "Si, senor." "Listen, Laughing Eagle." "Remember you're wearing my colors." "So bring home the bacon." "Hmm, fancy meeting you in Buenos Aires." "The astonishment is mutual." "I'm glad we've got that much in common." "Still keep on the brakes?" "Quien es esta mujer?" "No la conozco." "Well, it's been awfully nice to see you, but I'm afraid I have to join my party." "Don't skid." "Yeah!" "A friend?" "Yes." "Where's he sitting?" "Box next to us, my dear." "That's great." "¿Billetes, caballero?" "Program?" "Would you mind?" "Thank you." "Who are you playing?" "Montezuma, of course." "I thought so." "Too bad." "You're gonna lose." "What's that?" "Who's going to lose?" "Yeah, you too." "I bet you 50 grand even money that Montezuma don't win." "What means "50 grand"?" "Dollars to you - 50,000 of them." "Oh, papa, take her." "Yeah, try and get me." "Oh, madame." "I will bet with you." "That's perfect." "Why, don't be foolish, Cleo..." "I should say, Miss Borden." "I know what I'm doing, honey..." "I should say, Mr. Carrington." "Well, it's your money." "Bravo." "You're a grand sport." "If I only had the right to lead you to your true greatness." "Yeah, that ain't a bad idea." "Hiya, pal." "How 'bout that little bet?" "It's satisfactory." "Isn't that your boyfriend with her?" "Yes, the traitor." "Glasses." "Certainly." "Thank you." "That's all right." "Plota, first;" "Montezuma, second;" "Bonnie Lassie, third, running easily." "Cactus coming up on the inside." "Did you see that?" "Yes, I get it." "Come on, Cactus!" "You can still win!" "And therefore, it is a great privilege and a great honor... to extend to Miss Cleo Borden... not only our heartiest congratulations, but also on behalf... of true fellow sportsmen the world over." "I am sure Miss Borden will like to say... a few words to us." "Oh, delighted." "This ought to be amusing." "Ladies and gentlemen, I had a swell speech all figured out on paper, but I left it at home on the piano." "I certainly appreciate you throwing this party for me, and as far as the success of me and my horse goes, all I can say is we came, we saw, we conquered." "Thank you." "I gave 'em class, didn't I?" "Ivan, you seem to have money tonight." "Where did you get it?" "Ah, that's my secret." "To your, la blonde Americana." "And to her millions, which will be soon mine." "You are lucky, Ivan." "You have got what you have always been after." "Tres bien." "A woman like her should be proud of getting Ivan Valadov." "Look here, sir." "When you speak of Miss Borden, be careful what you say." "Don't make me laugh, senor." "You are doing pretty well yourself with the rich Senorita Lopez." "I suppose her millions do not interest you." "You swine!" "Someday you will pay for this." "I thought you was a gentlemen." "Fighting in a barroom, smacking around my friend." "Your friend, eh?" "Yes." "What's it to you?" "Oh, nothing." "Only I pick my friends." "Yes, to pieces." "Come on, Ivan." "My darling." "My sweet." "My lovely one." "Never mind that." "I got all the earl I want." "Darling, I just found out that it's you I'm in love with." "You are the only one for me after all." "After all what?" "Oh, darling, I love you." "I love you." "I must have you." "Marry me." "Now listen, Ivan." "You're all right to play around with, but as a husband, you'd get in my hair." "But, darling - besides, we're intellectual opposites." "What do you mean?" "Well, I'm intellectual, and you're opposite." "I am an aristocrat and the backbone of my family." "Your family ought to see a chiropractor." "Say, where do you think you're going?" "I don't think that should interest you." "Oh, yes, it does." "I got plenty to say to you." "I'd rather you said it to that Russian friend of yours." "You seem very devoted to him, and you and I have nothing in common." "What do you mean?" "Ain't I worth millions?" "Ain't I climbing' the social ladder?" "Ain't I mixin' with swell people?" "I can get anything money can buy." "What more do you want?" "Certainly not your money." "There are a lot of people who think the way you do, but you're sadly mistaken about the importance of wealth." "There happen to be a few things beyond money." "Yeah?" "For instance?" "Natural good breeding, for one thing." "Culture, for another." "You'd like to have my ancestors go over and come back on the Mayflower." "No." "I'm simply making clear to you what my own standards are... and what I'm accustomed to expect from people I associate with." "When you got plenty of money, you can get any kind of friends you want." "You mean parasites, like your friend Ivan." "Leave my friends out of this." "Then leave me out of it too." "I can do that." "Why do I have to like that guy?" "There you are." "I've been looking for you." "Listen, Winslow, I got to get a good name." "A what?" "I got to be a lady now if it kills me and you too." "Ain't there some quick way without a lot of red tape?" "If it's social position you want, there's always marriage." "Well, that's perfect." "You find me a guy with a good name, blue blood in his veins and red ink in his bank book, and I'll put a deposit on him tonight." "Well, there's a man not so active, but he's a bachelor." "The legs were beautifully carved." "Clinton Hungerford." "He collects antiques." "Do you think he'd last till I got him home?" "Number eight, black." "Oh, I win!" "Any more checks, Mr. Colton?" "Yes." "Yes." "Why don't you stop, old man?" "Don't worry." "My luck will change." "All bets down." "Are you playing, Miss Borden?" "Yeah, I want to take a crack at it. 5,000, please." "Very well." "19, red." "Quatorze, rouge." "Any more checks, Mr. Colton?" "I'm through." "Faites vos jeux, Mesdames et Messieurs." "Place your bets." "Too bad, Colton." "Your luck was miserable tonight." "Yeah, I'm broke." "I wouldn't do that if I were you." "Why not?" "Give me that." "Give it to me." "You've had bad luck tonight, haven't you?" "Yeah, they cleaned me." "Sit down." "I want to talk to you." "It may sound a little odd at first, but I want you to listen." "How would you like to step into a fortune?" "Are you trying to be funny?" "On the contrary, I'm quite serious." "I'll be frank with you." "I came here to make a deal." "A deal?" "Yes." "The Colton name and social position for a generous fortune." "Colton name?" "Fortune?" "Oh, I see what you mean, but it's out of the question." "I couldn't do a thing like that." "Ah... too bad." "Wait a minute." "Who is she?" "Miss Cleo Borden, the oil millionairess." "29, black." "She wins again, Morgan." "This is the most embarrassing position I've ever been in." "I feel like an idiot." "On the contrary, you ought to feel yourself rather fortunate." "If you'll excuse me, I'll tell Miss Borden that you're here." "If you don't mind, I think I'll have a drink." "I need it." "Yes." "Help yourself." "Oh, how'd you make out?" "Everything's practically set." "He's waiting in the next room." "Well, I'll put the finishin' touches to him." "Come on." "By the way, I might tell you he's Mrs. Crane Brittony's nephew." "What, that dame?" "Oh, ain't this a hot coincidence?" "Lead me to him." "My dear, Mr. Fletcher Colton." "Miss Borden." "Oh, how do you do?" "How do you do?" "Well, you made a swell deal if you ask me." "Mr. Colton felt a little strange about all this." "Did you make it clear that this was just a business proposition?" "Oh, yes, yes." "Not that it's anything against you personally... because you look pretty good to me and all that, but I just want to let you know where you stand." "I think I understand." "You're simply buying your way into society... through my position in it, and nothing more." "That's short and sweet." "I couldn't put it better myself." "All we need now is to settle the details for the wedding." "Yeah, give society somethin' to talk about... 'cause I'm gonna be Mrs. Fletcher Colton... of New York, Miami and Southampton." "By golly, the new Mrs. Colton must be... one of them circus bareback riders." "One thing's sure, Michael." "Life will be a circus around here from now on." "All right, throw it out." "Yes, ma'am." "Storehouse." "Yes, ma'am." "Throw it out." "And please tell her that with me are..." "Mrs. Plunkett, Mrs. Pillsbury, and Mrs. Cranford." "We'd like to see her at once." "Of course." "And with Mrs. Brittony... are Mrs. Plunkett, Mrs. Pillsbury and Mrs. Cranford." "Watch the fun." "This is positively shocking." "I think it's beautiful, but I wouldn't tell her." "I should hope not." "There isn't a trace of one of my ancestors left." "Ooh, good afternoon, ladies." "Charming of you." "Won't you sit down?" "We'll have some tea?" "No, thank you." "No tea." "I suppose you came here to congratulate me." "We did." "We think you've done extremely well." "Course, when I met you in Buenos Aires," "I didn't think we'd ever be related." "Speaking of relatives, Mrs. Colton, have your ancestors ever been traced?" "Well, yes." "But they were too smart." "They couldn't catch 'em." "I don't suppose you'll want to stay in Southampton very long." "And what gave you that idea?" "Oh, a little birdie told me." "That birdie must have been a little cuckoo." "I'm afraid you're going to find it rather quiet here... after the way you're used to living." "Don't let that worry you." "I expect to put life in the old joint" "I mean, the old place." "Dear!" "In what way?" "Well, you see, this being the social season down here," "I figured I'd toss a few parties to a select crowd." "You're invited." "Of course, I realize you're an ambitious young woman." "I can see exactly why you married my nephew." "I know what you have in mind." "Go right ahead." "I'm resting." "You know, I could give you some good advice, if you asked me." "You don't ask your enemy how to win the war." "You're suggesting I'm your enemy?" "Well, you certainly didn't come here as a friend." "So you intend to force yourself upon us." "Force myself on who?" "Listen, sister, don't forget..." "I'm Mrs. Fletcher Colton of New York, Miami and Southampton." "You..." "You..." "Oh, I'll drive you out of Southampton!" "I wonder if they'll ever come back." "After they hear what I'm gonna do, they'll fight to come back." "My dear, what are you up to now?" "Somethin' I been plannin' for a long time." "Yes?" "What is it?" "I'm gonna give them some high-class entertainment... that will put another "0" in the 400." "Yes, but what sort of entertainment?" "Nice, clean entertainment." "I'm gonna throw them an opera." "Opera?" "Yeah, and you've got to make arrangements right away... to get me a tenor to play Samson." "Do you mean to tell me that you're going to attempt Samson and Delilah?" "Say, listen, I'll attempt anything once... and what's more, I'm gonna sing Delilah." "But - I got a lot of respect for that dame." "There's one lady barber that made good." "Remember, Donovan." "This is no ordinary case." "It requires diplomacy and tact." "I have been a successful private dick for 15 years." "If I had my due, I'd be police commissioner." "Yes?" "Mrs. Brittony is here." "Have her come in." "Step out a few minutes, Donovan." "Sure." "Come right in, Mrs. Brittony." "Thank you." "Everything is working out nicely." "I've instructed the detective." "I'm expecting Ivan Valadov here any minute." "He arrived from Buenos Aires this morning." "Splendid, Brash." "You always were thorough." "You know, of course, that this will be an expensive undertaking." "I'll spare no cost to disgrace that woman... and drive her out of Southampton." "Good." "And if we can depend on Valadov to do his part, the results should be even better than that." "Since it's known that Valadov formerly courted her, and with the evidence we hope to get, we'll have sufficient to demand a divorce for Colton." "You don't need to worry about Ivan Valadov going through with it." "I happen to know what sort of rodent he is." "What is it?" "Mr. Valadov is here." "Send him in." "Mr. Brash, I am Ivan Valadov." "How do you do?" "You know Mrs. Brittony." "Of course, I do." "I had the pleasure of knowing Mrs. Brittony quite well." "Send Donovan in." "It was very charming of you to send for me." "Only because the situation demands your particular talents." "This is the plan." "Listen carefully, Donovan." "You too, Mr. Valadov." "Mrs. Colton is giving elaborate entertainment... on the Colton estate on the night of August 17." "I think that's Saturday night." "Let's see." "Yes." "Donovan, I want you..." "Mr. and Mrs. Pillsbury." "How lovely of you to have included us." "Charming of you to come." "How do you do?" "How do you do?" "Mrs. Crane Brittony." "Delighted to see you again, my dear." "You look perfectly stunning." "Ha, ha, ha." "The Earl of Stratton." "A real earl." "If Carrington could only see me now." "Where did you come from?" "England." "You mean this title stuff is on the level?" "It's genuine?" "Of course." "May I have the pleasure of the first dance?" "It would be a privilege and an honor to dance with the Earl of Stratton." "Isn't there someplace we can be alone?" "There are so many things I want to talk to you about." "So many things you'll have to answer for too." "All right, where shall we go?" "Right this way." "Colton." "May I see you a minute, please?" "Why, certainly." "Pardon me, gentlemen." "Sure, Fletcher." "About this I.O.U. You promised to settle up with me two weeks ago." "I must have the money tonight." "Tonight?" "I don't see how" "Well then, if you don't, I'll just have to approach Mrs. Colton for it." "No, no, no." "Don't disturb her, Rand." "I'll get it for you tonight without fail." "Those are the windows of her room." "I got ya." "And you better keep your eye on that Indian." "You might find out something interesting about them." "When this guy, Ivan, gets through with her, we'll have plenty." "I suppose I have myself to blame for losing you." "But how on earth was I to know that you really cared for me?" "Couldn't you tell out at the ranch that I did?" "Don't you think your method of showing it was a little... unusual?" "Shooting off my hat and roping me like a steer?" "Do you know you might have killed me?" "I'll admit I was a little uncouth, but you did like me." "You know I did, but I tried to conceal it the best way I could." "Holding out on me, huh?" "Those are the windows of her room." "Get in there while the entertainment is on... so you'll be there when she gets back." "Don't worry." "Be sure and get her in front of the window so I can see you at the right time." "You will see plenty, my friend." "I want to get in the social register, and you insinuated that I wasn't exactly a lady." "But I'm surprised" "Yeah, you're full of surprises yourself, you know." "I didn't know you were nobility." "I had no title then." "I meant to tell you that night in Buenos Aires... that I was going home to straighten out some family affairs." "I meant to tell you that I was mad about you, always have been." "You've got to believe that." "I didn't say you could kiss me." "Remember you once told me to release my brakes?" "Yeah, but why did you wait so long?" "Well, I'm not going to wait any longer." "I love you." "We've got to find some way out of this." "All right, my lord, it will have to be arranged." "I'm sorry, madame." "I am so sorry, madame!" "You're sorry?" "What have you got to be sorry about?" "Remember." "You only have a half an hour to dress, make up, vocalize, warm up the voice." "Oh, yes." "That's right." "I forgot." "We're putting on an opera tonight." "Best of success to you, my dear." "With you here, that'll be easy." "I've been looking for you." "Did she give you the check?" "No." "But I must have it tonight." "I'm sorry, but Mrs. Colton has definitely refused to pay any more of your gambling debts." "This is an unusually large sum." "You may tell Mrs. Colton... there is no sum too large to pay for the name I've given her." "Even so, I think she's been very generous to you." "Did you get it?" "No, but I will." "I'll go upstairs and get it." "Wait right here till I get back." "That's a very delicate note, madame." "I'm afraid you are taking the worst way to get there." "Well, I want to get there in the worst way." "Oh." "Haven't you got my dress hooked yet?" "We go this way and that way." "I can do nothing." "All right, we'll try it again, please." "Madame, would you please stand still?" "Between the two of you, you're driving me crazy." "Can I do anything for you, sir?" "No, thanks, Thomas." "Who's there?" "En ces lieux malgre moi" "Please, madame, you mustn't scream." "Think of your voice." "Give me the "A." Give me the "A."" "Oh, stop blowing that thing." "I know the whole alphabet." "Please hurry." "You're on in a minute." "They'll have to wait." "They can't stretch the music." "They'll have to stretch it, or I'll go crazy!" "How can I sing when you got me in a mood like this?" "Madame, you mustn't shout." "Who's shouting, you seal?" "You're on now." "Oh, I'm on?" "Well, how am I doin'?" "Oh, please, madame, give me the "A."" "Que ma faiblesse adore" "C'est toi" "C'est toi mon bien aime" "Oh, pardon me, general." "Ah, cesse d'affliger mon coeur" "Je subis une loi supreme" "Je pleurs" "Ravivant ma douleur" "Delilah" "Je t'aime" "Je t'aime" "Come here, Sammy." "Ah, reponds a ma tendresse" "Par mes baisers" "Verse moi, verse moi l'ivresse..." "Je veux secher tes larmes et de ton coeur eloigner" "Reponds Les larmes" "A ma tendresse reponds a ma Je veux secher tes larmes" "Tendresse Je veux secher" "Tes larmes" "Verse moi" "Moi verse moi" "L'ivresse" "Samson Delilah" "Samson Delilah" "Je t'aime Je t'aime" "He insists that he must have that money tonight." "Expensive husband?" "All right, give it to him but this is the last time." "Very well." "Oh, you can go." "Okay, madame." "What is it, Taho?" "Come quick!" "Mr. Colton, him hurt." "He's what?" "Yes, lady." "In your room." "Where are you going?" "The intermissión is almost over." "Well, you tell them to wait till I get back." "But, madame" "Do as I say." "See if there's any money in his pocket?" "No money, lady." "Wait outside that door." "Let no one in." "Okay." "Oh, so that's where you're hidin'." "I'm not hiding." "I just came to pay you a visit." "Yeah, and left your callin' card." "Uh, what do you mean?" "I don't understand." "Come here and I'll show ya." "How terrible." "But, darling, I know nothing of this." "Don't "darlin"' me." "You know you did it." "So you are a very clever woman." "You have put your husband out of your way and you want to blame it on me." "You have done this, and you are going to pay for it." "I'm going." "You're gonna stay here and face the music." "All right, I'm going to stay, and I'm going to tell everyone you did it." "I saw you." "Why you, low-down, sneaky..." "If you want to save your life, you better come with me." "Take your filthy hands off me." "Let me go!" "Go on." "Go on." "Don't let him get away." "Who are you, and what do you want?" "Donovan's the name, and that's the story." "You're just what's needed." "Come on in." "Are you alone?" "Not exactly." "Well, in that case, I'd like to see your paramour, Mr. Ivan Valadov." "Are you tryin' to be funny?" "Hey, listen, I'm an old hand at this game." "Mr. Colton." "Yes." "Whose gun is that?" "Why, I think it's mine." "That's all I want to know." "This is murder." "You're not insinuatin' that I did it." "You'll have to tell your story to the D.A." "Say, listen, you." "Just a minute." "What's happening?" "Nothing." "It's all right." "I'll take care of everything." "Boys, come up here." "I tell you, when I first came into this room, he was lyin' there just as you see him." "Yes, yes, I know." "Don't let anyone out of this house." "You search the grounds." "What has happened?" "It's Mr. Colton." "What has she done to my nephew?" "My theory of the case is murder." "Don't let anyone in here." "Fletcher, why didn't you listen to me?" "I knew something like this would happen if you married that dreadful woman." "You came here." "You forced yourself upon us." "I swore I'd drive you out of Southampton and now you've killed my nephew." "I wouldn't be too sure about that if I were you." "You want to walk or ride, lady?" "I never walk when I can ride, and when I ride, it won't be with you." "You're coming with me." "You're not taking this lady anywhere." "Here's the man you want." "Huh?" "And we found the Indian over him with this knife." "We tried to make him talk." "You killed Colton." "It's a lie." "Colton shot himself." "We'll let the courts decide that." "He man that tried kill horse too." "Why, you double-crossin'..." "I didn't know it was your horse." "I needed money." "She paid me to do that." "Why, that's preposterous." "The man's lying." "You are lying." "You also paid me to come here from Buenos Aires and help you to disgrace her." "The man's insane." "I believe him." "He ain't got brains enough to figure this thing out himself." "I won't be insulted by you." "Don't lose your temper, or I'll help you find it." "You figured a swell way to drive yourself out of this town." "Now, let the law take its course." "Let's go." "I used to put my heart and soul in my dancin'" "To keep the wolf from the door" "But now I'm a lady" "Don't have to dance anymore" "I'd flirt with handsome men and ask them no questions" "I met the best and the worst" "But now I'm a lady" "I see their pedigrees first" "Let me say there is many a boyfriend" "That knew me when" "But today they're the guys in the army" "Of my forgotten men" "Oh, I used to play around without any conscience" "I just broke hearts left and right" "But now I'm a lady" "I plan to be more polite" "Who is it?" "Don't be alarmed, milady." "It's only your husband, the Earl of Stratton." "Just a minute, dear." "But, my dear, we'll have to hurry, or we'll miss the boat." "Take it easy, honey." "You'll last longer." "Hi-dee-ho, baby I'm goin' places" "I've made my plan" "Love is dealing' me aces" "I've got my man." "Now step by step I hit the top of the ladder." "It was a dangerous climb." "But now I'm a lady." "Come up and see me sometime."
