"GALLANT LADY" "Would you mind saying a few words for the newsreel, Mr. Curtis?" "Well, what shall I say?" "Well, you might tell us the purpose of this transatlantic hop." "Well, my first reason for attempting this trip is to... establish a non-stop record between New York and Baghdad." "Of course I have another reason, a more personal one." "Would you mind telling us her name?" "Well, that's a secret right now, but... when I get back I hope her name's going to be Mrs. Jack Curtis." "Okay, Mac." "A good lift and a lovely landing to you." "Good luck, Mac." "Good luck." " Well, best o' luck" " Thanks a lot, fellas." "Good luck, Curtis." "So long." "He's swerving." "He'll never make it." "He's in trouble." "He's out of control." "He's headed for the fence." "Extra, extra!" "Read all about the big airplane smash-up!" "Hey there!" "Hey, hey there!" ""Aviator gets killed" here." "Let's go, let's see!" "Read all about it." "Aviator gets killed." "Hey, you." "What's the big idea?" "I've been watching you." "What makes you think you can get away with hustling in this park?" "I have a good mind to run you in." "There you are, honey." "Sorry I'm late." "Well, we can still make it if we hurry." "Thanks, officer." "Well, I guess we got away with it." "With what?" "I haven't done anything." "Don't have to." "The gentleman you've just interviewed thinks this is his private playground." "What do you expect to get out of a park, anyway?" "Nobody with money comes here, at least not at this hour." "Hey, what's the matter?" "Just... just leave me alone, will you please?" "I'm quite all right." "Oh, well." "You can't do this." "Pull yourself together." "What is it?" "Steady." "Come on now." "We've gotta get out of here." "Come on." "Here you are." "It'll warm you up." "Oh, thank you." "I don't want to be a bother." "There's nothing personal in my attitude." "I merely hate policemen." "Especially the one who owns the park." "Do you make a business of saving lost souls?" "Not at all." "Social outcasts should stick together." "You see, I'm a very lawless person, a criminal of the first order." "I killed a man." " Would you like a little gin in it?" " No thank you." "I rather like the combination myself." "Especially without the coffee." "Did you really kill a man?" "Technically, yes." "Now don't be alarmed." "All these things you see about are not burglar's tools." "They're surgical instruments." "Oh, you're a doctor." "I was, but I'm giving it up." "I never should have studied medicine anyway." "Never could stand to see anyone suffer." "According to the law, I did something unethical." "Something illegal." "Ah, it's a long story." "A patient, incurable... begged for relief." "Perhaps I went too far." "Anyway, the law thought so and proved it." "Two years in prison and here I am." "Have a little more coffee." "Oh, no thank you." "I just got out yesterday and tomorrow I'm selling what's left of these things and I'm... skipping the country." "I found a little island way off in the Pacific." "It's a grand spot." "Nothing but kangaroos and natives." "I'm going there to drink and run." "Liquor's very cheap." "Make it out of cactus." "I envy you." "You should." "They tell me kangaroos are very sociable creatures." "At least they don't bite you for stopping them from suffering." "More coffee?" "Oh, thank you." "No, no." "Do you suppose my shoes are dry?" "They're probably well-done on both sides." "You mind if I have a little more?" "That's fine." "Oh, the shoes." " Thank you." " Here you are." "You don't have to hurry." "Are you sure you feel quite well enough to go home?" "Home?" "Oh, you have a family, haven't you?" "I did have a family, but I..." "I haven't anymore." "The man I love... was going to fly the Atlantic." "This morning at the airport..." "I said goodbye to him." "You heard the newsboys." "The man I was going to marry... is dead." "I have made my choice." "Now you know why I can't go home." "Well surely your family will understand." "Oh, how could they, you see?" "I come from nice people." "I, uh..." "I wouldn't want to hurt them." "You didn't tell me all your story, did you?" "No." "No, I..." "I'm going to have a baby." "Did he know?" "That man out there." "Oh, no, I couldn't tell him till he came back." "You're a pretty swell fellow." "Shouldn't we start at you're pretty swell yourself?" "She's a little darling." "Would you like to go out in the sun?" "Well..." "How's the world's prize offspring this morning?" "Oh, he is a beautiful baby, isn't he, Dan?" "Of course he's a beautiful baby." "And somewhere out there... he must know that he didn't really die." "Here he is, born again." " And I'm holding him in my arms." " Now, Sally." "You mustn't upset yourself." "Oh, I love him so!" "You're still sure you... want to give him up?" "What right have I to consider myself?" "I look around me here every day and see these little tiny mites being brought into the world." "Little trusting things looking for love and protection." "When I think of what happens to most of them, it frightens me." "I'm not going to let him pay all his life for something that happened to me." "What can I do for him?" "No home." "No money." "Not even a name to give him." "These... people, Dan, who want my baby..." "You're sure... they'll love him?" "Sally, my dear, I've known Phil Lawrence and Amy ever since my college days." "They're grand people." "They'll give him a home." "They'll give him love." "They'll give him everything." "Miss Hill will take care of you." "Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence." " How do you do, Miss Hill?" " Oh, yes, Mr. Pritchard has arranged everything." "Mrs. Lawrence is here." "May I have the baby?" "I can't do it!" "Dan, I can't do it, I can't!" "Steady, now." "Steady, now." "Steady." "Oh, isn't he a darling?" "Look, Phil." "Hello, old pal." "We're gonna have a lot of fun together." "Look at him, Dan." "Isn't he wonderful?" "They'll never take him away from me, will they?" "Tell his mother that I will love him always." "Goodbye." "MARIA SHERWOOD, INC." "INTERIOR DECORATORS" "Who did you wish to see?" "I want to see Miss Sherwood." "She's terribly busy." "What did you want to see her about?" "I was expecting a shipment of Louis XIV furniture." "Or was it XVI?" "I'm too careless about these things." "Anyway, I'll talk to Miss Sherwood about it." "If you'll wait here, I'll find out if Miss Sherwood can see you." "Then you've definitely decided on this?" "Yes, I think that'll be quite lovely for our drawing room." "You can't go wrong with your Adams furniture." " Yes, I'll be there in just a moment" " I don't see how we can improve on it in any way." "I think you'll be safe in my hands." "Paul, please take Mr. and Mrs. Mortimer's order." "That's for the Georgian room." "And this is that imported damask." "There's been a mistake." "What is this?" "It's brocatello." "Oh, this is lovely." "You know, I think this would be very nice for the master bedroom." " I think it'd be lovely..." "lovely!" " Yes, I think it would be." "I think perhaps we'll decide on that, dear." "Lovely, I think that's what we'll have." "I suppose I should really make up my mind what I want, and not..." "Do you mind if we look around the shop a bit?" "No, no, not at all, not at all." "You'll find some Waterford glass over there." "Just come from England." "Oh, lovely." "Come along, Morty." "Let's look at the glass." "Dan, you are an idiot." "It's all right, Jay." " Are you trying to ruin my business?" " The place needs pepping up." " What is it?" "I'm busy." " She's here, behind me." "Who?" "Oh, oh, the woman you spoke about." "She looks rather dowdy to me." "No, she's a very high-class person." "I've known her family for years." "Lots of experience in this kind of thing." "Oh, stop trying to look hard-boiled." "You're an old softie and you know it." "A very pretty frock you've got on." "Although, if you don't do something, I shall... put on an act and ruin your business completely." "All right, you old fool." "I'll talk to her." "That's better." "Oh, it's... (mumbles)." "Miss Sherwood, this is Miss Wyndham." " How do you do?" " How do you do, Miss Wyndham?" "I hear you've had some experience in this line of work." "Oh, no, I haven't." "I thought she had." "Must be my mistake, Maria." "I haven't had any experience, Miss Sherwood, but..." "Oh, I do believe I could make myself useful if... if you'd give me a chance." "Well, we'll see." "If you wait a few moments, we'll talk it over." "It's all settled." "She's an old fake, you'll love her." "Well, I guess I'll be drifting along and..." "I may not see you for some time." " Why not?" " Well I..." "I thought taking a little trip... thought it might do me a bit of good, I, um..." "Everything's gonna be all right." "Keep that chin up." "You shouldn't do things like that." " We'll have your estimates at the end of the week." " That'll be fine, thank you." " Goodbye." " Goodbye." " Goodbye." " Sherwood, you're a great old scout." " Now, wait a minute." "I haven't decided anything yet." "Of course you have." "You're a great old fella." "I'll see you when I get back." "When you get back?" "Where are you going?" "Well, ju-..." " just a little trip." " Where are you going?" "Well... just a little trip..." "I, uh..." " Dan!" " Help me to forget things." "Dan, look at me." "What's come over you?" "I thought you were going to stay and fight things out." "I was... foolish enough to think you were going to... do it for me." "Going to be gone a long time?" "You know, I... just a short trip, I..." "Help me to get myself together." "Don't worry, honey." "I'll be all right." "You..." "You will take care of yourself?" "Hey!" "There she goes." "Isn't that swell, fella, huh?" " Yeah." " Yeah, it sure is." "Daddy, when is Mommy coming back?" "Well, Deedy..." "Aunt Martha's going to be your mommy from now on." "Is Mommy coming back ever?" "Deedy, when you grow up, Aunt Martha will tell you all about it, dear." "Dad, why don't you come along?" "It won't be any fun in the boat all alone." "Well you're not going to be alone, darling." "Aunt Martha's going, Annette." " But why don't you come?" " Because Dad's a busy man." "I'll come next time, huh?" "How's that?" "Why don't you come this time?" " Who's my pal?" " I am." "There's nothing like the original article." "There's a feel about it, don't you think so?" "I'll tell you when I get the bill." "I hate to part with these things, myself." "I grow to love them so, like children, you know." "Here's something over here that I think would interest you." "This is actually 16th century Italian." "Came from a doge's palace." "You can see with the carving." "It'll go beautifully with those other things." "Well, I think we'd better let it slide for the time being." "Well, just as you say, but it is very beautiful." " I'll have those other pieces sent up tomorrow." " Oh, that's fine." " Good night, Miss Sherwood." " Good night." "Maria, I'm convince that you could sell anything to anybody." "Anything but myself." " Thank heavens we're rid of that junk." " Uh-huh!" "Look, you haven't forgotten about that cocktail party, have you?" " Horrors, another one of those?" "Where's my hat?" " What's your hurry?" "Oh, Sally, what would I do without you?" "I saw the Amesworths this afternoon." "They're very much interested in having an Italian chapel." "We'll get them an Italian chapel if we have to build it ourselves." "I hate to rush you, but you're awful late." "I'll lock up and put the cat out." " See you later." " You too." " Good night, darling." " Good night." "Hey lady, can you spare a dime?" "Well, I'll see what I have here." "I don't..." "Dan!" "Oh, it is!" "Dan!" "Oh, Dan, darling!" "I can't believe it." "I must be seeing things." "Did you drop down out of the sky?" "As a matter of fact, I was thrown off a boat with a load of bananas." "Oh, Dan, you come right over here into the light and let me see if you're real." "No, you're not." "No, of course you're not real." "Oh, Dan!" "You sit down here, you ghost." "Let me have a look at you before you vanish in smoke." "My, you've acquired a lot of kingly furniture during my absence." "Dan, Dan, you wretch, you fiend!" "Five whole years." "Is it five years?" "Five long years, without so much as a note." "Didn't you receive a letter from Singapore?" "Did you write a letter from Singapore?" "No, I didn't." "I'll write one next time I go there." "Aw, Dan." "You ought to be shot, you know that, don't you?" "How about the little fella?" "Is he at college?" "Have I aged that much?" "You hear from him?" "Do you?" "No, my darling." "I do not." "He's only an illusion." "Just as you are." "He's a little... unreal idea that has to be... set aside and forgotten." "I wouldn't dare see him, Dan." "It wouldn't be fair to him, or to me." "I was terribly frightened when Amy Lawrence died." "But it's all right, it's all right." "He's in very good hands." "And he's happy." "And I'm happy." "And now... we'll talk about something else, please." "There are a few things I'd like to say about this chair!" "I find it exceedingly uncomfortable." " You going to be with us for a while?" " Pulling out tomorrow." " Tomorrow?" "Yes, the boat from the Argentine." "I've become quite an expert on cows, you know." "Yes, ma'am, a cow doctor!" "They seem to understand me." "Oh, why don't you stay around here and give the local animals a break?" "I don't know, there's something about a cow: so gentle, so sweet..." "That gives me an idea:" "What about a nice, juicy steak?" "Sold!" "What about a nice, juicy shave?" " Then meet me at Tony's in an hour, huh?" " Grand." " Know where it is?" "Oh, oh, wait a minute." "I gotta have one of these." "That's only a very small part of what I owe you, fella." "Ought to get a lot of shaves for that." "Run along, will you?" "I'm getting hungry." "PARK AVENUE PET SHOP" "Dear Sally, I may be a little late." "Wait for me." "Dan." "You see?" "You can't depend on him, even for a lunch." "Oh, well, don't be too hard on him, Maria." "He's really trying." "Hrmph, in a dog hospital?" "Wasting his skill, wet-nursing animals?" "Oh, well, give him a little time, angel." "He'll come through, I know he will." "Oh, he's such a fool!" "That's his idea of humor." "When I think of his wasting his talents, I could kill him." "But he is rather a darling, isn't he?" "Well, enter the eminent Dr. Daniel Pritchard, late, as usual." "The eminent Pritchard apologizes." "He also announces that Tokyo Boy is the proud father of three bouncing Pekingese." " And is everyone doing well?" " Splendidly." "Oh, do sit down and have some lunch." "I can't, I'm sorry, but this asthmatic feline at 622 North Mason Avenue... demands my immediate attention." "Can't you be sociable, Dan?" "You know, I'm sailing for Europe the day after tomorrow." "I know Italy a bit." "Don't be alarmed." "I shall see you off in perfect style." "Oh, poof." " Goodbye." " Aw, Dan..." "There, I told you I shouldn't have come." "He expected you alone." "Maria, I've just made a discovery:" "You're in love with Dan." "That's no discovery." "I've been in love with the big boob so long, it's become an incurable habit." "But somehow, he doesn't seem to respond." "That's the point of the joke." "You're the huzzy in his life." "Oh, Maria..." "Great gargoyles, don't tell me you're as innocent as all that." "Well you're impossible!" "Do you mean to say you're so terribly dense that you don't know Dan Pritchard is in love with you?" "I wish you'd stop talking about it, Maria." "I adore Dan, I'd die for him." "But you just don't know what you're talking about." "I'll have your head examined in the morning." "Maria." "I..." "I was just wondering..." "Do you suppose I could handle that commission in Italy?" "I've never been abroad, you know." "Would you mind very much if I sailed for Italy instead of you?" "She seems to have a slight temperature." "Are you sure you know your business?" "Madam, I've associated with animals all my life, and I assure you she'll come through with all sails flying." "Really?" "Well, you are comforting anyhow." " Thank you, madam." " Well, goodbye, sweetheart." "Darling, mother will be here again tomorrow." "Yes, now be good, be good." "Goodbye, darling." "Goodbye." "Goodbye." "Leave-takings are such wasted sadness." "Now you know why animals become ill." "They come here to escape affection, huh?" " Is that why you came?" " Not exactly." "Well, we're always delighted to see new patients." " What can we do for you?" " Well, I'm not barking so well lately." "You can choose your own cage." "We'll soon fix you up." "Oh, I think I'll move right in with this one." "What's his name?" " Pritchard." " Oh, not the eminent Dr. Dan Pritchard!" " Does he bite?" " Only when people behave in a peculiar manner." " Come on, what's on your mind?" " Whose, mine?" " Quit stalling." "I just came in to say goodbye to an old friend." "I don't think I should kiss him, though, do you?" "He's lived through worse calamities." "Too unresponsive." "Back you go, fella." "I think I'll say goodbye to you instead." " I know what's coming." " Oh, you know too much." " You're going to Italy." " I didn't say so!" " You and Maria have talked it over and you've both decided..." " Well that's it." "Well, I think it's a dirty trick." "It's a great opportunity, Dan." "It's a great opportunity to shove me off with Maria." "Aw, you're such a grand guy, fella." "And you will see Maria once in a while, won't you?" "Give that to Dr. Pritchard for me, will you?" "I'll see about it." "Bye." "Oh, what are you doing?" "(Italian)" " Signorina..." " Oh, no, no." "No vino, no." "(Italian: [...] perché?" ")" "(Italian: [...] un po 'di vino.)" "(Italian)" "(Italian)" " I've got a lot of work to do." " (Italian)" "(Italian)" "(Italian)" "I hear it." "Madonna, you amaze me." "You are even more beautiful than yesterday." "How could anyone possibly be more beautiful than you said I was yesterday?" "I don't know, but you are." "How did you like my song?" "I just wrote it for you." " Why, it sounded vaguely familiar." " How could it?" "I just wrote it." "It's called "Limpiando"." "It's a sad song about a little girl who had no time for play." "Final, she became an old woman, dried up, and blew away without knowing love." "All your songs are about the same thing." "Why not?" "What is there to life but love and play?" "Well, someone has to work." "The madonna is too beautiful and young to do the work of a stonemason." "Does the madonna wishes to grow muscles like a horse?" "Oh, heaven forbid!" "Would that be my luggage?" "But where are they going with it?" "Oh, I couldn't think of you living in that smudgy little hotel." "Well, you take a great many liberties, it seems to me." "Besides, it is my mother's request." "You better not deny her wishes." " She's a terrible temper." " Oh, she's nothing of the sort." "Rosa will show you your rooms." "All you Carninis are spoiling me so!" "This really is a very, very charming thing for your mother to do." "Oh, you really don't know my mother." "She's a terrible temper." "That's why I don't want you to tell her about our fore-coming marriage." "About our what?" "Our marriage, yours and mine." "And when did you plan to consult me about it?" "Now." "Well, there is nothing wrong about me." "I'm a charming fellow." "My dear brothers are happily married off to American heiresses." "Why shouldn't one Carnini marry for love?" "Oh, my dear Count Mario." "You really shouldn't use flattery on a woman." "It's much too weakening." " You may never again get an offer like this." " Is that a promise?" " Will you marry me?" " When?" " Now." " Right this minute?" " Will you?" "No, no..." "I think I'll take a shower instead." "If you don't mind." "May I ask again sometime?" "Sometime." "Will you come to the theater tonight with me?" "The fiesta, you know?" "Oh, I have a lot of work to do." "Oh, there'll be a lovely Italian moon." "Rosa, (Italian)." "Eh, tell her about the moon!" "(Italian:" "Signorina, que bella la luna è in Italia...)" "I'm not gonna listen to another word." "It's a conspiracy." "Very fortunate thing for me that I'm leaving for Paris in a week." "I'm going with you." "Oh, no, you're not, now I really have work to do in Paris." "Oh, I'll show you places in Paris that not even Frenchmen know about." "And learn this:" "When a Carnini fasten his eye on a woman, she never escapes." "I can well believe that." "(French)" "What's he saying about it?" "Oh, he says it's a romantic beautiful place." " Is that all he said with all those words?" " Yeah!" " Well, then how do you pronounce that one?" " (French)" " Oh, it's right next to Monte Carlo!" " Yes!" "Oh, what's he saying?" " Oh, that's out, that's out." "What about the Riviera?" " Yeah!" "I want to go to all the places on the Riviera." "If you want to go all those places, I have to find out where my bank is." " Will you wait for me please?" " I couldn't..." "I'm lost without you." "Hurry back." "Madam, he is the most famous stamp collector." "Well now, isn't that fine?" "I've always wanted to meet a stamp collector." "Why?" "Oh, I don't know. 'Cause I've never seen one before, I guess." "Give a look." "Here's some." "Well, they are kind of pretty, aren't they?" " Where's this one from?" " I don't know that one." "Guyana, where's that?" "Oh, I don't know, but I suppose it's someplace warm." "Well, who cares anyway, huh?" "What're you gonna do with all these handsome things?" "Well, I'm gonna sell 'em when I get a real lot and get some money." " What'll you do with the money?" " I'll decide that later." "I don't know." " Oh." "Whoa, thanks." "That's swell!" "Here!" "He was so excited about the new stamps, he forgot his treasures." "MASTER DEEDY LAWRENCE C/O PARIS HOTEL, PARIS, FRANCE" "Who's that boy?" "Master Douglas Lawrence." "We are going to miss him." "He's sailing tomorrow." " What boat is he sailing on?" " Parrilla de France, madame, tomorrow." " Radiogram, Miss Wyndham." " Oh, thank you." "Broken hearted at your sudden departure." "You can never escape a Carnini." "Mario." "Mario, what are you doing on this boat?" "Oh, it's you!" "What a coincidence!" "What are you doing on this boat?" "Am I on a boat?" "Oh, yes, of course I'm on a boat." "Now I remember." "When you left Paris, I'm afraid I had a little too much wine, and when I came to, I found myself in a stateroom." " Isn't that a coincidence?" " Oh, an amazing coincidence!" "Why haven't you been on deck before?" "May I be honest with you?" "I was afraid you'd make me walk back to Cherbourg." "However, now that I'm here, we have to make the best of it." " Hello, Sally!" " Oh, hello, Deedy." "How's your Aunt Martha?" "Is she feeling better?" "Well, she's still sick, but the nurse is sicker." "Oh, what a shame." "I'm so sorry." "May I present Master Deedy Lawrence, your hated rival." "This is Count Carnini." " How do you do, young man?" " Hello." " I'm so glad to see you." "I'm not so sure I'm so glad to see you." "We shall meet with pistols at ten paces." "My seconds will call on you in about... twenty years." "What's he talking about, Sally?" "He doesn't know." "He just talks." "What are we gonna do today?" " Can we go upstairs and play a game of ball?" " Oh, well not yet." "Oh, it's just after lunch, Deedy." "Let's sit here and rest a while, huh?" "Want to hear some more about the elephant's child?" "Sure, what's the rest?" "You sit down Mario and you'll learn all about elephants from us." "I know all about elephants." "Now let's see, how far have we got?" "Oh, yes." " Did we get down to the grey, grey, green, greasy Limpopo River?" " Yeah." " Yeah, then you knew the elephants didn't have trunks, just little noses." " Yeah." "Well, he was a very polite elephant's child." "Oh, he was so polite, just like the count." "He's always very polite too." "And he went down to the edge of the river and he said to the crocodile:" ""Oh, please, Mr. Crocodile." ""Would you mind telling me what you had for dinner?"" " And so the crocodile swished his tail..." " Did this really happen?" "Oh, my, yes." "Why certainly!" "It's all about the elephant's child, how he got his trunk." "So the little elephant went down, he planted his... great, big legs down right, you know, in the mud there... and he leaned over here and the crocodile said:" "Was he scared the crocodile would get him?" "No, the crocodile was being very polite so far." "Oh, no, he wasn't scared of anything." "So the crocodile whispered, "I think I'll have elephant's child for dinner."" "See, and he grabbed him by the nose and he pulled and he pulled." " What did he pull out in the elephant?" " Oh!" "He pulled his nose way out until it got to be a three-foot trunk." "Why didn't the elephant fall in the water?" "Well, because he was all braced like that, with his legs, you see, in the mud." "Then the rock python came up, took hold of his hind legs and pulled and finally..." " What's a rock python?" " A rock python?" "Oh, he's a great big snake, but he was very friendly, you see, and he wanted to be kind to the elephant's child." " So he pulled and he finally got away." " Didn't he like the crocodile?" "Oh no, we always hate..." "pythons, crocodiles, rock pythons." "But then ever since then, elephants have had trunks." "Was he bad?" "Oh, yes, 'cause then he could pick up straw and reach up in trees, and pull monkeys down with it and everything." " The monkeys weren't bad, were they?" " Not a bit." " Oh, Deedy, your face is a mess!" " What?" "Your face, it's a mess, all covered in oil." " Well, did you have a good time?" " Yeah!" "Would you like to be an engineer when you grow up?" "Nope, I'm gonna be a navigator." "Oh, a navigator?" "Well, that's fine." "Thank the officer for being so nice to both of us." "Thank you." "Well, come back any time and bring your mother along." " Who?" " I said come back any time and bring your mother along." "She ain't my mother!" "Ha, he thinks you're my mother." "Thank you, so much." "I've been looking all over for you." " Thought maybe you'd jumped overboard." " No, we've been doing lifeboat drill." " Doesn't he ever run down?" " No, no, he's wound-up for keeps." "I'd like to borrow you some time for a while before this trip has ended." "I'll see you this evening, if I'm not too worn out by then." "Uh-oh, you know what that is." " Time for little fellas to have dinner and go to bed." " We better go." "Deedy, you do have fun with me, don't you?" "Sure I do." "You're gonna miss me a little bit?" "We dock tomorrow, you know." "You're coming over to my house to see me, aren't you?" "Well, I don't know about that, Deedy, you see..." "Sally's a very busy girl." "I'll get to say goodbye to you, won't I?" "I think... maybe we better say goodbye here, because, um... well, just, just in case we miss each other down at the dock." "Okay, goodbye." "Would you say..." ""Goodbye, Sally"?" "Why?" " 'Cause it's my name." " 'Cause why?" "I'd just..." "like to hear you say it." "Well... goodbye, Sally." "Goodbye, Deedy." "Well, bye!" " Hey, fella!" " Hey, Dad!" "Hello, how are you?" "Deedy, this is Miss Haddon I wrote you about in Paris, remember?" " How are you, Deedy?" " Hello." "Well, where is...?" "Hello, Martha!" " Martha, this is Miss Haddon, my sister." " How do you do?" "Maria!" "There, you old darling!" "I'm so glad to see you." "Oh, I missed you!" "This is Count Mario Carnini, Miss Sherwood." " How do you do?" " How do you do?" "(Italian)" "Carnini?" "Carnini?" "You not only bring back the Carnini chapel, but a Carnini also." "You see, I go with the chapel." "We are going to be married in it." "Chapel?" "Married in it?" "Why Sally!" "Pay no attention to him, Maria." "He just goes on and on like that, doesn't mean a thing." "Come on, leave us have at these customs or we'll never get out of here." " Well, this looks like it." " May I help you?" "You better get down there by the sea and help yourself." " I won't be able to see you before tonight." " That'll be soon enough." "See you tonight." "Goodbye!" "He has quite a flair." " Where's Dan?" " Dan?" "I'll tell you later." "I wouldn't get too careless with that fellow, my dear." "Royalty's very scarce, you know." "Well, here we go." "I'll never get 'em shut again once I get 'em open." "Sally, Sally!" " Deedy!" " Where were you?" "I thought you were coming to say goodbye." "Oh, I was, Deedy, but then I got all mixed up with bags and trunks and everything." "Deedy!" "(French)" "Where'd the little rascal go?" "Oh, he went over there some place." "I don't know where he was going." "Little devil just won't stay put, that's all." "I want you to meet my dad." " Well, I'm afraid, Deedy..." " Here he comes now." "Oh, Dad!" " Hey, where have you been, huh?" " I want you to meet Sally." " H-h-h-ow do you do, Sally?" " How do you do?" "I'm Miss Wyndham." " Deedy and I got to be great friends, coming over on the boat." " Yes." " Miss Sherwood, Mr. Lawrence." " Yes, we know each other." "I didn't realize you were Deedy's father." "I didn't connect the name." "Hello, Maria!" " Hello, Martha." "How'd you enjoy the trip?" " Oh, not very much." "I don't know what we would've done without Miss Wyndham." "Well, seems to be a family party, doesn't it?" "Oh, pardon me." " Uh, Miss Haddon, this is Miss Wyndham." " How do you do?" " How do you do?" "Uh, Miss Sherwood you know." "Oh, yes, indeed." "Sally and I are going fishing some time too, aren't we, Sally?" " Well, not right this minute." " No." " Well, we better be getting along." " Don't forget." " I won't." "No, don't forget." "Any time you're in the neighborhood and you feel in a fishing mood, don't forget to drop in." "Thank you." " Well, goodbye." " Goodbye." " Bye, Sally!" " Goodbye, Deedy." "Fascinating little wretch, isn't he?" "Come on, let's get going." "Here, inspector!" "My, what tall buildings you have here." "What ever happened to Dan?" "He knew I was coming in on that boat." "He's been busy, very busy." "Dan planned to come, but he had to leave town last night." "Sally, I don't blame you for falling in love with that Count Mario." "The man is devastating." " When's he coming back?" " Who?" " Dan." "Oh, in a few days, I suppose." "Sally, what have you done to yourself?" "You're a new woman!" "What is it, some new thyroid or something?" "I'll have to take a European trip myself before the moths eat up the rest of my hope chest." "Do you know, Sally... that we'll make five lovely thousand dollars on that rickety old chapel?" "And that's above all expenses." " So you see, your going was worth it." " Yes, it was worth it." "Perhaps you'll marry this handsome nobleman?" "Oh, no, that's quite impossible." "Besides, some of us just aren't the marrying kind." "Some of us never get the chance." "Sally, prepare yourself for a shock." "Now grit your teeth." "Sherwood and Wyndham." "Oh, I can't bear it!" "I can't!" "Oh, Maria, you are a darling!" " "Local girl makes good."" " Oh!" "Your trip not only made you younger, but it's improved your figure." "It's them ocean breezes, dearie." "If I thought Count Mario'd have the same effect on me," "I wouldn't let him out of my sight." "If you're a very good girl, I may lend him to you on alternate Thursdays." "Well..." "Them that has, gets." "Say, Maria." "Who was that strange woman down at the dock?" " Cynthia Haddon?" " Mhm." "If you're going to spoil my evening, I'm going home." "Oh, bad as all that, huh?" "She can't help it, really." "Happened as a child." "A nurse mixed some kennel food with her spinach and they didn't discover it till too late." "Sounds delightful." "Is she a friend of Mr. Lawrence's?" "Friend, nothing." "She's gonna marry him." " When?" " Too soon, poor fool." " That means she's gonna be a mother to..." " I'd expect anything of that woman." "She wants Sherwood and Wyndham to do the house over, but I think I'll pass her along to someone else." "Why?" "I think a lot of $4,000 profit, but my health comes first, dearie." "Oh, you can't do that Maria." "$4,000 is a lot of money." "It'll never repay you for putting up with that female." "Look, I'm a partner now... and being a member of this here now firm... why don't you let me take a crack at her?" "I'd be delighted, but it's your own funeral!" "That will be Mario." "Let him in, will you, darling?" "Oh, darling, you are beautiful, gorgeous, exquisite, magnificent!" "Oh, wait a minute." "You said all that before." "I can't help it." "It just comes out like that." "Oh, well you might at least say hello to Maria." " Oh, Miss Sherman!" "Excuse me, I didn't see you." " So I noticed." "And the name is Sherwood: -wood." " Yes!" " Call me Sherman, Sherwood." "It doesn't matter." "Miss Sherwood, excuse me." "I didn't recognize you." "Hey, you look 10 years younger!" "You better not put ideas in my head." "You may regret it." "Come along, children." "It's time we got on the way." " May I help you please?" " Thank you." " Yes." "What's your name?" "And don't tell me you don't remember me." "Well, I see a lot of new faces." "How about taking a stroll down the station?" "You expecting somebody on the train?" "Sure, there's a couple of night judges coming in, and I want you to meet 'em." "Dan!" "Dan!" "Dan!" "Oh, I'm sorry I'm late, honey." " Good evening, officer." " Huh?" "Oh, hello, sure." "Good evening." "Dan, where were you?" "Why didn't you come to the dock?" "I cabled you." "I need a drink." "Oh, you poor dear." "Of course you do." "Taxi." "Taxi!" "Maria, Mario." "Go on ahead without me, will you, darlings?" "I'll see you later." "Come along, Dan." "Here's a cab." "Pull yourself together." "Dan?" "Who is Dan?" "Dan?" "Oh, Dan!" "Dan is an old friend of the family." "But that needn't interfere with our evening." "I know such a cozy little place on 58th Street." "Oh, yes." "Now don't look so cross." "You're going to enjoy it, I promise you." "Dan, what on earth's happened to you?" "It's that valet of mine." "He forgot to shave me this morning." "Remind me to fire him, will you?" "Oh, let's not talk about me." "What's the big surprise you've got?" "Dan, I've seen him." " Seen who?" " I've seen Deedy." "Where?" "I met him at a Paris Hotel." "It was entirely by accident." "Oh, Dan, he is a wonderful boy." "Well, what now?" "We've had the most glorious holiday on the boat, just the two of us." "Oh, Dan, it was wonderful." "And Phil Lawrence was at the dock." "I met him there and he's invited me to call." "Well, has he?" "Of course you've no intention of doing that." "Why not?" ""Why not?"" "Oh, Dan..." "Is it too much for me to hope that... some day I can have my boy again?" " It's a great deal too much." " But why is it, Dan?" "Phil Lawrence is getting married again." "Perhaps if I went to him and told him that Deedy is my child... told him the truth about it, he might be willing to let me have him." "Oh, that's a splendid idea." "Brand the boy, ruin the youngter's life, fine." "Oh, forget it." "He's out of your life forever." "'Tis just a crazy dream, I guess." "Well, don't worry about it." "I won't spoil anything." "After all..." "I've had two weeks with him." "That's more than I had any right to hope for." "I've seen him." "I've touched him." "Dan, it's... it's terribly hard just to... just to cut that off once you've had it." "After all, you know, you and Deedy are my whole world." "You mean that?" "Of course I mean it." "Oh, Dan, why don't you pull yourself together and straighten up?" "I can't bear seeing you like this." "Would it make any difference to you?" "Of course it would!" "Well... well, you can't tell..." "I might have another go at it." "We'll see." "Is Miss Haddon in?" "I'm from Miss Sherwood's." "Oh, yes, Miss Haddon's expecting you." " Miss Haddon is in the garden." "I'll tell her you're here." " Thank you." "Look out, fire." "Here comes the fire engine!" "Hello there, Deedy." "Where's the fire?" "Hello, Sally." "There ain't no fire." "I'm just pretending." "Here's my pal." "Oh, you're full of oats today!" "Are we going fishing, Sally?" "Oh, well, now, wait a minute, wait a minute." "We can't go fishing today." " Why not?" " I came to see Miss Haddon." "Aw come on, don't bother about her." "Let's go fishing." "I want you to see the keen things my dad got me." "Well, maybe I've got a minute." "I'd love to see you." "I wanna catch a whale and I'm not gonna let 'im go either." "How do you do, Miss Wyndham?" "I'm so glad to see you." "How do you do?" "Thanks!" " Get on the back and I'll give you a ride." " All right." " Hurry up, we gotta get to the fire." " Here we go!" "Look out, fire!" "Here comes the fire engine!" "Everybody off." "This is my room." "How do you like it?" "It's the most beautiful mess I ever saw, Deedy." "I think it's grand." " Come here, I want to show you." " Whatcha got?" "See?" "This is my pole Dad got me." "Oh, that's a beauty." " It's bamboo." " Yeah, I'll say that's keen." "Why can't we go fishing?" "Oh, Deedy, I never went fishing in my life." "I wouldn't know how." "Oh, you better get your dad to do that." "We'll do something else." "Aw, he never goes fishing when she's around." "Deedy, (French)" "(French)" "Miss Haddon." "Aw, he never goes fishing when Miss Haddon's around." "That's Mom!" "I bet she'd go fishing if she was here." "She's very lovely, Deedy." "Come here, I want to show you something else." "Oh, a whole fishing outfit." "Oh, isn't that marvelous!" "Got your name on it and everything." "Isn't that fine?" " What's that?" "Caviar?" " No, those are salmon eggs." "You put 'em on the hook and you catch the fish." " Oh, poor fish." "I thought maybe you served it to 'em on crackers." " No." "What's this?" "Looks like a mouse." " It is a mouse." " Well do fish like mice?" "No, but you put it on the hook and you fool the fish." "They think it's a minnie." "Phelps." "Yes, my lady." "Where's Miss Sherwood?" "I thought you said she was here." "I'm sorry, madam." "She was here." "She must've wandered off." "Well, find her." "I'm in an awful hurry." "I can't wait all day on shopkeepers." "Oh, Deedy, that's for me." "Shh!" "Don't go." "Pretend you're not here." "Oh, I'm afraid I'd better go, Deedy." "I'll be seeing you, honey." "Well, do something." "Don't just stand there." "Try the garden." "Shall I come along?" "Sure, come ahead." "Oh, here I am, Miss Haddon." "Terribly sorry if I kept you waiting." "Deedy captured me." "I couldn't get away from him." " I thought Miss Sherwood was coming." " She sent me in her place." "She thought I might be able to make a few suggestions." "You see, I've just returned from Europe." " Oh yes indeed, you were on that boat." " Yes." "Well, let's start in here." "This is where most of the monstrosities are." "Psst, Sally." "Going fishing?" "Well, this is it." "It's pretty terrible." "I want to do the whole thing over." "Drapes, rugs, everything." "It's early American empires, isn't it?" "Well, whatever it is, it's an awful eyesore." "It's very comfortable." "You're not a very good saleswoman." "It just happens to be my personal preference." "Well, I want something modern." "I don't know what." "I'll leave that up to you." "Deedy, will you stop that?" "We're busy." "I'm not doing anything." "Well, we're trying to talk." "He's a very spoiled child." "He's just a boy." "Have you any children?" "No, no." "Deedy, will you please stop that?" "Haven't you any manners?" "Nanette, Nanette!" "Will you please take Deedy upstairs and keep him there?" "I'm..." "I'm so sorry." "What were we talking about?" "Oh, modern furniture." "That child confuses me so, I don't know what I'm talking about." "How do you think this room would be in black and white?" "Very interesting." "I want to make this into a suite for my mother." "I thought we might cut a door through there and... make this into a sort of sunroom." "Do you think it wise to move Deedy?" "He seems so happy here." "I'm going to put him over in the north wing." "There's a very nice room there and he'll be near Nanette." "It'll be very convenient." "Besides, he's been very pampered." "I think it'll do him a lot of good to be on his own for a while." "Sometimes it's rather dangerous to uproot children." "They're... they're rather like plants, you know." "Hello, hello, Miss Wyndham." " Hello, darling." " Hello, Phillip." "How are you?" "Well...!" "Am I intruding?" "Oh, no, we're just going over the nursery." "I thought we might turn this into a sunroom for Mother." "Oh, what are we gonna do with Deedy?" "We'll put him over in the north wing." "He'll be near Nanette." "Uh-huh." "What does Miss Wyndham think about this?" "Oh, um, she has some strange notions about child psychology." "Oh, I just thought it might be a mistake to move Deedy." "He's so fond of this room." "It's only a suggestion, of course." "Well, maybe we can make some other arrangements, without foreclosing Deedy's morgage." "You like this room, son?" "Sure I do." "I don't want to move away." "I want to stay near you." "Well, is this decision being left up to me?" "Of course, Phillip." "It's your house." "Well, I tell you, Deedy and I will go into a huddle." "If you'll excuse us." "Come on, son." "I want to show you a new reel I got." "It's one of the swellest things you ever..." "I'm terribly sorry, Miss Haddon." "I hope I haven't upset your plans." "Oh, no." "On the contrary, I appreciate your interest in Deedy." "However, I would like an estimate based on our present discussion." "And, by the way, if you have any more ideas on child psychology," "I'd like to hear them." "You see, I'm going to be looking after Deedy, and naturally, I'm very anxious to learn." "Thank you so much for coming up." "Good day." "Good day, Miss Haddon." "Cynthia Haddon is not going to be a mother to my boy." "I'm going to take Phil Lawrence away from that woman." "How do you propose to do that?" "I'm going to marry him myself." "Do you mind if I have another drink?" " Has he proposed to you?" " No." "No..." " Do you love him?" " No." "How do you hope to accomplish this miracle?" "I don't know." "But I'll accomplish it somehow." "I'm going to have Deedy, and if the only way to get him is to marry Phil Lawrence," "I'll marry Phil Lawrence." "I'd marry him if I hated him." "Hmm... he hasn't proposed to you, you don't love him, and you'll marry him." "Hmm, that'll be something." "I don't know what wild scheme you've in mind, but you're not going through with it." " Oh, but I am going through with it." " You're not." "I won't allow it." "Do you know this Haddon creature?" "What difference does it make, supposing he loves her?" "What of it?" " Supposing she loves him." " Well I don't care about that either." "You'd come between these people, and do it in cold blood?" "That woman is not going to have my Deedy." "He's not your Deedy." "After all, Dan, I am his mother." "You're not his mother." "When you gave him away, you did so irrevocably and completely." "You're not the only one involved in this." "I'm as responsible for Deedy's situation as you are." "Phil Lawrence is my friend, and I'm gonna see that you stick to your bargain." "I made no bargain with Cynthia Haddon." "All right, do as you darn please." "Go there, wreck the home, wreck yourself." "But stop bothering me." "What do you want with me?" "What good is my advice?" "You're not satisfied with it." "Follow your own mind." "You'll see where it gets you." "You did the right thing once, Sally." "Stick by it." "Perhaps you're lonesome, hmm?" "I don't say you shouldn't marry again." "I think you should." "Then you can have another child, a home..." "You ought to marry some fellow who'd love you." "Some fellow who'd care for you for yourself." "Someone who'd adore you." "Someone who'd have a clearer, calmer, wiser point of view." "Someone who, uh..." "Well, let me see, uh..." "How would I do?" "Did you hear me, Sally?" "Oh, I'm sorry, Dan." "I wasn't listening." "I was thinking of..." "Never mind." "Oh, Dan, darling, I'm so sorry." "What was it?" "Work, work, work." "Are you ever going to learn how to play?" "Just not the playful type." "Did you ever hear of tennis, golf?" "Do you ever go to the races?" " Do you know what horses are?" " No, Mr. Bones." "What are horses?" "They're animals." "You put them on a track." "Somebody says go." "Pum." "They run around a track, and the fastest one wins." "And everybody has a good time." " Hold me steady now, I'm coming down." " I didn't come here for work." "Well if you won't be useful, you might at least be amusing." "Sing, for heaven's sake, sing." "Aw, do me a favor, will you?" "Hmm." "Yes." "I've a very special reason for asking." "Do you remember that little serenade you sang to me in Italy?" "Yes." "Will you giiive?" "Will you?" "Right over there, piano." " How do you do?" " How do you do?" "Please go on." "Don't let me stop you." "I'm terribly sorry, Miss Haddon." "May I present Count Mario Carnini." " How do you do?" " I hope you don't mind us being here." " Not at all." "Is the count part of your decorative scheme?" "Oh, well, in a way, Count Carini is connected with Sherwood and Wyndham." "He volunteered to come out this afternoon and make a few suggestions." "I felt sure you wouldn't mind." "I know nothing about the count's taste in furniture, but he has a charming voice." " Oh please." " Please go on." " Mario, sing it again, for Miss Haddon." " No, I couldn't." " Oh please do." "If you'll excuse me, I have to go out to the car and get some more things." " No, I'll get them for you!" " No bother at all." "You just go right ahead." "Excuse me." "Honestly, I can't sing." "Gone fishing." "Deedy" " Who wrote this?" " I don't know, sir." " This isn't Deedy's writing." "My $300 salmon rod!" "The little rascal would take that one." " I'm sorry, sir." " That's all right." "I think I know where to find him." "I think I got one." "Oh, what do I do to help?" " What can I do?" " Get that net over there." " What do I do with it?" "Oh, I wish I'd learned to fish when I was young." " Help it!" "I never knew fishing was this exciting." " Look out, you've got one there." " Well what do you...!" " Get your reel!" " Get yours!" "I've got mine!" " I've got the whale!" " I've got a whale." "Pull 'em in!" "Quick!" "Pull 'em in!" "I'm doing the best I can, but the fish has other ideas!" "Oh, I'm all balled up here!" "What do I do now, Deedy?" "I'm all knotted!" "Oh!" "Deedy!" "Deedy!" "Deedy, come over here!" "Here, take Sally's hand!" "Come on, little fella!" "Enter the hero!" "Come on, take Sally's hand." "That's it, pull." " Oh, Deedy!" " Hello there, fella." "You all right?" "You all right, Deedy?" "Well, what strange fish we've got in this pond." "Oh, I'm so glad you came!" "I was scared to death." "Oh, you needn't worry about Deedy." "He can swim better than I can." "You ought to see him, Daddy." "He was that big!" "My!" "Some fish!" "Wonder where he went." "Well, looks to me as if he went away and took everything with him." "Oh, look, Sally." "There's your pole, way out there." "Goodness, Deedy." "And I'm afraid that belongs to your daddy too." "Oh, I'm so sorry about that." "I do hope it wasn't an expensive one." "Hm?" "Oh, that's all right." "I didn't care for that rod anyway." "Well you're awfully sweet about it." "Oh, Deedy, I'll have to hang you up to dry." " Will you stay and have lunch with us?" " I'm afraid I'll have to dash." "Well maybe you'll change your mind when you see what we've got." "Well, this is a great idea." "I'm glad I stayed." "We'll have to do this often." "I specialize in all forms of interior decorating." "Oh, by the way:" "I haven't been around the house much lately." "How are the alterations coming?" "Oh, I think when all the changes are made and the new furniture's in, it..." " it ought to be very lovely." " Mhm." "Miss Haddon seems to think so." "Well, of course there are different points of view." "Personally, I love it the way it is." "So do I." "This is keen pie, Sally!" "I'm so glad you like it." "You know, some day I'm going to get a medal for my cooking." "These ants your idea too?" "I am to please all customers." "She likes fishing too." "When I grow up, I'm gonna marry Sally." "Thank you, Deedy." "I like her better than Lucy." "Lucy?" "Who's Lucy?" "Girl next-door." "Anyway, Lucy wears glasses." "I don't like Cousin Angie either." "She's bowlegged." "I like Sally better." "I like her better than Miss Haddon." "Something seems to tell me that Deedy likes you, not that I blame him." "She has sort of a soothing effect on me." "Maybe it's your cooking." "No doubt." "However, this picnic cannot go on forever." "After all, I am just a poor working girl." "So what?" " Deedy, you suppose your clothes are dry yet?" " I'll get 'em." "Well hurry up." "Well, would you mind handing me that paper bag?" "In the basket." "Hello there!" " Hello!" " How do you do, Miss Haddon?" " Oh, hello." "How are you?" "Well, we had a great time." "Lots of excitement." "Caught fish, had lunch." "Sorry you weren't with us." "I fell in the water and got all wet, too." "I'm sorry I missed it." " Deedy, don't forget your whales." " Oh no, I'm gonna eat 'em for dinner." "Look what I got." "Well, Deedy." "Care to give Miss Haddon a kiss?" "Oh, Deedy, you're filthy!" "You smell horribly of dead fish." "Deedy!" "You horrible little wretch!" "Oh, how dare you!" "How dare you strike that boy!" "I'll thank you to mind your own business, Miss Wyndham." " Don't let her hurt me, Sally!" " Don't worry, I won't." "I'm terribly sorry, Cynthia." "Now beg Miss Haddon's pardon and go to the house." "We'll talk about this later." " I won't beg her pardon!" " Oh, do as your father says, Deedy." " I'll do it for you, Sally." " All right, you do it for Sally, then." "I'm sorry." "Some of me's sorry, but not all of me!" "Well, I apologize for Deedy." "Thank you so much." "I'll be off." "Don't go just yet, Miss Wyndham." "There are a few things I'd like to say to you in front of Mr. Lawrence." " Cynthia, please!" " This concerns both of you." "You adopted Deedy, didn't you, Phillip?" "I told you that months ago." "Yes." "Have I, by any chance, stumbled on a rather tawdry remnant of your past?" " It couldn't be that, could it?" " Couldn't be what?" "It couldn't be that Deedy is the little angel that blessed your union with Miss Wyndham." "Cynthia, have you gone mad?" "I think that's about all I care to listen to." "Aren't you going to defend yourself?" "What are you talking about?" "Well if she won't explain, I shall." "This impudent young shopkeeper has been playing a game." "She's had the amazing, even humorous effrontery to imagine she could win you away from me." " Cynthia, must this absurd scene go on?" " She won Deedy over first." "And under that innocent cover, she advanced on you." "Her doing the house over was a very convenient method of approach." "But you're very obvious, my dear, like the rest of your kind." "Cynthia, you're insane!" "Insane, am I?" "Well if I'm insane, why doesn't she deny it?" "You don't deny it, do you?" "You see, Phillip?" "And now, Miss Wyndham, that your pathetic little game has been frustrated," "I suggest that you leave." "And when you see Miss Sherwood, you may tell her, if she's interested, that I've changed my mind about the contract, and if she wants to know why, it'll give me the greatest of pleasure to tell her." "I've had my say." "You ask her if my statements are true." "Have you changed your mind?" "No." "What's the matter with you?" "Have you been drinking?" "I won't let you resign." "That's all there is to it." "What's the trouble with you?" " You wouldn't understand, Maria." " If you say that to me again, I'll slay you." " Is it that Lawrence contract?" " Oh, no, no." "Well I didn't want the darn thing anyway." "It was your own idea." "It isn't that." "Really, Maria." "It's just that I..." " I'm just licked, I guess." " Well it isn't fair." "Here I grow to depend on you, make you a partner in the business." "I've grown quite fond of you, and now you want to go away and leave me." "You!" "You stand there like a stick." "Why don't you help?" "How I ever became attached to two such people, I'll never know." "One goes away on a boat and stays five years." "Now you want to go away on a boat." "Let's all go away on a boat somewhere!" "Let's sink the boat!" "What do I care!" " Dan, you tell her, will you?" " What can I tell her?" "Well, if someone doesn't tell me something soon, I'll scream." "I was a very smart girl, Maria." "Dan warned me, but I knew better." "I thought I could step in and make everything come out my own way." "Well..." "I lost everything, that's all." "What has she lost?" "Did she say she'd lost something?" "You aggravate me beyond words." "Do you want to do me a favor?" "Take me to Tony's." "I'm going to get a glow on that'll light Broadway from here to the Battery, and I just want you there to pull me out from under the table." "Let's go." " Shall I pour the cocktails, madam?" " No, Phelps." "Just leave them there." "Oh, hello, Phillip." "A cocktail?" "It's a little early yet." "Are you going into town?" "Are you angry?" "Have I been a bad girl?" "Well, I hope you don't think Deedy was in the right." "Deedy's never acted that way before." "You can't blame Deedy's bad manners on me." "I'm not excusing Deedy's bad manners." "I've already reprimanded him for it." "That's beside the issue." "Perhaps I said some things I shouldn't have." "I was very angry." "You'd be angry too if you had fish thrown all over you." "Yes, I suppose I would." "But Cynthia, you said some things that you know are not true." "About that woman?" "Oh, Phillip, if you were at all observing, you'd realize she's been trying to thrust herself on you." "I'd rather you leave Miss Wyndham's name out of this." "Phillip!" "Am I to understand that you're going to uphold that woman against me, that you don't resent her attentions?" "Perhaps I should be flattered." "Oh, so that's it." "Oh, perhaps some of the things I said did have foundation in fact." "You claim to be a very observing woman." "Perhaps you'd like Mother and I to leave." "Perhaps you'd like to break our engagement." "Still very observing." "Only I'd suggest, Cynthia, that you break the engagement." "You might tell your friends that I'm very bad-tempered." "You might also say that I'm very unobserving... in some things." "What nice roses!" "Did you find them in the garden?" "What do you mean by that?" " Good afternoon." " Good afternoon." "Is Miss...?" " Uh, good afternoon." " Good afternoon." " Don't be uncomfortable." "Come in, make yourself at home." " Thank you." " Au revoir." " Au revoir." "Hello." "I've, uh..." "I've been waiting for you." "May I come in?" "I have to see you." "Certainly." "Won't you sit down?" "Thank you." "Very charming place you have here." "I find it very comfortable." "Yes, it's a nice place." "Thank you." "May I help you?" "Oh, thank you." "Sally." "Oh, I'm sorry." "Deedy always calls you that." "Sorta came natural to me, that's all." "Sally." "I love you." "I've loved you for a long time, only I didn't know it." "You believe me?" "Will you marry me?" "Oh, I can't!" "We want you." "Deedy and I." "Is it mostly for Deedy, then?" "No." "It's mostly for me." "What's wrong, dear?" "Nothing." "Only I can't marry you." "I just can't do it." "Oh, Dan, I've looked all over the park for you!" "What's all the excitement about?" "Did the shop burn down?" "Dan..." "He's asked me to marry him." "Who?" "Phil Lawrence." "Oh, so you've won." "No..." "No, I've lost." "I love him." "Make it all the easier, shouldn't it?" "Oh, don't you see, Dan?" "I love him." "I don't get it." "But I couldn't marry him now." "Not even for Deedy." "Why not?" "Because I'd have to tell him." "I'd have to tell him all about me and..." "Deedy and..." "Deedy's father." "Why?" "I couldn't live near Deedy the rest of my life, and not let him know I'm his mother." "Why?" "You mean... you mean, not tell?" "Why should you?" "Well, it... it wouldn't be right." "It wouldn't be fair to Phil and..." "Well, it just isn't the decent thing to do." "I..." "I couldn't, that's all." "Listen to me, you idiot." "I'm just about fed up with you and your goings-on." "I'm fed up with people not doing what they want to do!" "You play the devil with all of us." "You're going to marry Phil Lawrence and not play the devil with him." "You not gonna tell him anything." "You fooled with fire and for some reason the Lord forgave you." "But remember this:" "There's a punishment for everything, and your punishment is to go into that house and keep silent." "You're going to marry Phil Lawrence and keep your mouth shut forever, understand?" "Till you die." "That'll be between you and me, for keeps." "Well, I guess I'll be stepping along." "Where?" "Oh, Dan, you're not going away again." "I'm gonna do the things I want to do." "I like bumming around and I like to get drunk." "And there's something else I've wanted to do for a very long time." "Write you from Singapore." "Goodbye!" "Suppose she's really coming?" "Sure she is." "She's coming on the plane." "You don't seem very excited about it." "Nope." "What's the use of getting excited?" "Where does it get you?" " Don't you ever get excited?" " No, what's the use?" "Listen." "What's that?" "It's Sally." "Wait a minute." "Don't forget what you're going to ask her." "Nope, I won't." "Hello." "Come on in, Sally." "We've been waiting for you." "Hello there, Deedy." "Sally, Dad wants to know if you'll come and live with us." "I mean, Dad wants to know if you'll come and live with us, and be my mommy." "You know, my real momma." "Tell him yes, lamb." "I will." "Hooray, Dad." "She says she will."
