"I'm much interested in this report of Dr Enright's." "You mean, the relationship of bio-chemistry to mental cases?" "Yes." "He's one of our bright, young men." "─ Yes, he's rather amusing, too," "The other day he suggested the real psychopaths are wandering the streets." "That once a patient gets the sense to go to a psycho-analytical clinic, he's cured." "Well, that sounds reasonable." "Well, Billingsley." "─ How are you?" "Doctor Elsworth, Mr Billingsley." "─ How do you do." "Won't you sit down?" "What brings you here?" "─ I'm plenty worried about Jane Palmer." "Is she ill?" "Well, her extravagance has finally caught up with her." "She's broke." "And I'm afraid that when she finds out about it she may do something desperate." "Well, what can we do to help you?" "Well, old Mutton-head Palmer was a good friend of mine." "He did plenty for this Foundation." "And I think it's up to The Foundation to do something for his granddaughter." "I she a mental case?" "─ Well, I think she's nuts." "Why don't you have her come in here for a consultation?" "It'd be simpler to send The Foundation after her with a butterfly net." "Is she the hysterical type?" "─ She wrote the book." "Before you go any further, I think we'd better have Doctor Enright in here." "Have Dr Enright come in right away." "─ Sorry." "Dr Enright is in consultation." "You seem to be in a pretty nervous state yourself." "Can I get you a glass of water?" "No, but I will settle for something stronger." "I think we might be able to take care of that too." "So, occurrences of our subconscious have to pass through the doors of our senses." "Now, take the famous case of Robert Browning." "His outstanding sense was that of "touch"." "He used to fondle an apple before writing the lines of his beautiful poetry." "I'm sure that a subconscious reminiscence of his early youth disengaged his genius." "The same with hearing, smell." "─ That's true, Doctor Enright." "The smell of burning leaves is like a narcotic to me." "I feel quite helpless and strangely touched." "And I become irritable and moody." "I'm certain that this has a relation to your past." "Now, what is your earliest recollection of this sensation?" "When I was sixteen I was on a mountain trip." "We camped overnight." "It was Fall .. there was a boy." "Obviously, it is your subconscious crying for release." "I realize it is a far cry from burning leaves to a new hat." "But the next time it occurs, why don't you go on a shopping spree?" "The only one who could possibly have any objection to that, is the husband." "Yes, of course." "Now, as I was saying .." "Our libido is frequently connected to our sense of taste." "And we often find .." "Did that suggest something to you?" "─ Why, yes, I .." "I found a strange lipstick in my husband's car and .." "I rubbed a little on his lips while he was sleeping and .. he began to talk." "And what happened then?" "─ We were divorced." "Does the smell of cigarette smoke do anything to you, Dr Enright?" "Not especially." "I don't mind smoking." "Dr Enright, after your talk at the club, so many wanted to ask questions." "But they didn't dare .. that is why we came to see you." "We're so interested in all the things you know and say." "Psychiatry is an exact science, madam." "If we know the ingredients, we can compute the results." "We have so many intimate questions we would like to ask you Dr Enright." "Dorothy, I'm sure Dr Enright only answers intimate questions by appointment." "Of course." "Ladies I'm always available for consultations." "If you'll check with my .." "Secretary on the way out." "─ Thank you, Doctor." "Thank you." "Goodbye." "─ Good afternoon." "Goodbye Doctor." "─ Good afternoon." "Are you looking for these, Miss Allan?" "─ Mrs Allan." "Oh no, you're not married." "─ What makes you say that?" "It is quite plain." "Despite your air of superiority and sophistication." "Why, you're almost rude." "I am a doctor and my approach to any problem is purely scientific." "Why not get rid of the obstacles between your desires and their consequences?" "I don't know what you mean." "Now, don't let one clumsy experience disgust you with the whole world." "Hmm .. jasmine." "Where is your home?" "─ Atlanta." "I left there when I was 18 years old." "─ I know Atlanta." "Lovely southern nights." "A big golden moon." "The smell of jasmine in the air." "Don't torture yourself." "Change your perfume." "Go back to Atlanta." "See the boy." "Come back and marry the man who loves you." "But you are wrong Doctor." "I promise .." "─ Try it." "And hang on to your gloves." "I beg your pardon." "Dr Enright?" "─ Yes." "My name is Billingsley." "─ Of course, Dr Billingsley" "I'm not a Doctor, I'm a businessman." "─ Business offices are on the next floor." "I'm fully aware of that fact." "Doctor Brewster thought you might be of some assistance." "I'm in trouble." "A woman?" "─ A young woman." "Of course, I would be very glad to discuss your case with Dr Brewster." "Well, Dr Brewster and I .." "I'm a consultant psychiatrist, sir." "Not a practitioner, so if you'll excuse me." "You're a bit of a stuffed-shirt too, aren't you." "Perhaps, but I really am busy." "Now, young man, just get down off of your high horse." "I want to talk to you about Miss Palmer." "I'm sorry Mr Billingsley, but I'm in the midst of a very important experiment." "And at 4:30 I have to address .." "Did you say "Palmer"?" "─ Yeah." "Jane Palmer." "The young lady whose money keeps this Foundation going." "And makes your important experiments possible." "Well, what is the matter with her?" "Well, she's about to go broke." "And what do you want me to do?" "Money doesn't mean anything to her." "She has no sense of responsibility." "I want you to see if you can snap her out of it." "You think you can?" "Yes, of course." "It's merely a mental disturbance." "Which I am sure can be explained by her repressed wishes .." "Emotional conflicts and the interaction of complexes." "Oh .. simple as that, huh?" "The underlying cause is usually found in the subconscious mind." "And must be brought into awareness." "Which of course, involves the question of time." "Where is she now?" "Right here in New York." "─ No." "I mean at this moment." "Oh, at this moment she's at Carter's on 5th Avenue trying to waste more money." "Yes, I think I can make it." "Miss Martin, I'm leaving the building and I'll be back at 4 o'clock." "Cancel all intervening appointments." "─ Yes, Doctor." "Excuse me." "Hey, just a minute." "You mean, you think you can straighten her out between now and 4 o'clock?" "Of course." "You got anything to drink around here?" "─ In the thermos on the desk." "Got anything stronger than water?" "Stronger?" "Let me see." "There is something or other in the bottom drawer." "Twenty-year old Bourbon." "Has that been here since Christmas?" "Yes." "Will it do?" "─ Well .. it ought to help." "Will you have a little snort?" "─ No thanks." "Never touch it." "Teetotaler, huh?" "─ No." "Psychiatrist. ─ Oh." "Well I don't know anything about this psychiatrist business." "But if you talk to Jane Palmer the way you talk to me .." "She'll pick you like a low-hanging apple." "Without even a scratch." "It's very nice." "─ It's a splendid piece." "This is nice, too." "Oh dear." "Eeny-meeny-miney-mo." "I'm like a little boy with a birthday cake." "My eyes are bigger than my appetite." "I never could make up my mind." "They are both very stunning on you." "Maybe I could take them both." "I never thought about that." "My brain isn't functioning today." "If I took them both, I wouldn't have to decide, would I?" "That makes sense, doesn't it?" "─ It certainly does." "As for these two?" "Alright, well send those out, and this, and this." "And this. 1,2,3,4,5." "Five is my lucky number!" "I always bet on five when I go to the races." "A lot of people don't believe in numerology." "I couldn't live without it." "Well, thanks so much." "Don't tell me how much they are." "I want that to come as a surprise." "Oh, pardon me Miss Palmer." "Our Mr Carter is very anxious to have a chat with you." "Oh, how intriguing." "Mr Carter is such a nice man." "That's his office there, isn't it?" "─ Yes. ─ Thank you." "Hello." "─ Hello, my dear Miss Palmer." "So charming of you to drop in." "─ So charming of you to ask me." "As usual, you have an answer for everything." "Well, remember the old adage:" ""charming is, as charming does"." "How true." "Won't you sit down?" "─ Thank you." "You're getting younger and more beautiful every day." "Well, I never let anything worry me." "─ You are very fortunate." "Things you worry about never really happen." "Well, I'm terribly worried right now." "Perhaps you can help me?" "Why, I'd be glad to." "─ I've a letter here from Mr Billingsley." "He's your executor, isn't he." "Executive, Guardian, everything." "And he would be a really charming man if he weren't so fussy." "This letter places me in a very awkward position." "Something happened to Mr Billingsley?" "He .." "I hate to say it, but .." "He asks us to refrain from granting you any further credit." "Oh, don't pay any attention to him." "Every time he sends me an unkind letter, I just tear it up." "Nothing ever happens." "Well, I want you to know how embarrassing this is for me." "What is?" "─ This matter of credit." "Why, you're not going to pay any attention to that letter?" "I'm afraid that I am forced to." "─ Well, Mr Carter." "If Mr Billingsley means more to you than I do, I'm just not coming here anymore." "I don't want you to feel that we're unappreciative." "You're not the least bit appreciative." "And when I said you were "charming", I was just making conversation." "I'm sorry." "─ Oh don't try to apologize." "Just tell your man not to bother sending out those things I ordered today." "Because if you do send them, I positively refuse to wear them." "Even if you come crawling to me on your hands and knees." "Milton." "─ Yes, ma'am?" "You should be standing at attention." "Sorry Miss." "I'm having a little ignition trouble." "I don't care about that." "I must get away." "I wouldn't be found dead in this place." "If you want to have ignition trouble, it's a very inopportune time to have it." "These things happen sometimes, Miss." "─ Well, you should anticipate it." "I pay you well." "You get Thursdays and Sundays off." "There is no excuse for ignition troubles." "Especially in front of a place where I've just been grossly insulted." "Miss, I didn't break down on purpose." "─ Are you being insolent?" "I'm trying not to be." "Well, if you're not insolent by nature, you don't have to try not to be." "Milton, are you paying attention?" "Milton, are you paying attention?" "─ I'm trying not to." "I don't see why I should waste my breath if you're not going to pay attention." "Look .. this is a democracy." "I'm an American." "My ancestors fought and died in the revolution." "So did mine." "─ But yours killed the wrong ancestors." "Well, of all the .." "─ Let me tell you another thing." "You're just a butter-patty." "You had it soft for so long, you forget there are other people in the world." "Besides, you own me 2 months back pay." "─ I don't deal with paying the help." "I'm still 2 months behind." "I've heard enough Milton." "Get in and drive me home immediately." "When we get there, look for another position." "How about driving yourself home?" "And forget the back-pay." "You're probably going to need it." "And in no circumstances will I give you a recommendation." "May I help you?" "I'm not in the mood for any more impertinence." "I'm not trying to be impertinent." "Merely, helpful." "If I need some help, I'll ask for it." "If you're looking for the starter-button, it's there." "Yes, yes." "I know." "I'm a little new at this." "I'll be glad to drive you where you're going." "I know." "I'll manage." "If you'll just get out of my way please." "Hey, what's going on here?" "Did I bump into something?" "─ I'm afraid so." "It's your fault." "You got me all flustered." "Listen lady, who do you think you are?" "─ I know very well who I am." "I'm sorry Mister." "I'm afraid it was my fault." "She's driving, ain't she?" "─ Sorry if I gave you a little bump." "A little bump, eh?" "Just take a look at that mess." "I said I'm sorry." "If you were a gentleman you would give a lady a little more room." "Show me your driver's license." "─ Don't raise your voice." "I stand on my rights as an American." "I demand to see your license." "Even if I had whatever it is you are talking about, I wouldn't show it to you." "Maybe you would show it to a Cop though, eh?" "I don't see why people are so unreasonable." "Look." "If you help me get this thing started, I'll be on my way." "Push the little button again." "─ This one?" "Now put your foot on this pedal, and pull that lever down towards you." "That's where I was wrong before." "I had it up." "I'm fine now." "Hey .. take it easy!" "You better get out from behind the wheel." "─ Why should I?" "That cab was .." "Do as I say." "I'm not taking orders from strangers." "─ Yes you are." "You had better hurry." "Here comes a Cop." "You don't want a jail sentence, do you?" "Some day they'll make a law about women drivers." "And about taxi drivers!" "It's all my fault." "I knocked the wheel." "─ I don't care." "Let me see your license." "License, license." "What's all this talk about a license?" "Can't we straighten this out without fuss?" "─ And who will straighten out my fender?" "Send him away." "Send him away." "─ Don't push me around." "I know my rights." "Rights?" "Why can't everybody else have rights?" "I don't have rights." "Here she is officer." "I was parked at the kerb, where I have a perfect right to be." "You're a very insulting man." "I'm insulting?" "Insulting?" "Take a look at my car." "Who's going to look .." "─ Just a minute buddy." "One at a time." "Officer, look at that car." "I've only had it two months and look at it." "Don't get excited." "I'm looking." "─ The damage seems to be very slight." "Slight?" "What's your idea of a serious accident?" "Were you driving that car?" "─ In a way, yes." "You were not." "─ Pipe down." "I know my rights." "She should be in jail." "─ Officer, may I ask a question?" "Sure, shoot." "─ Is there a penalty for drunk-driving?" "Why?" "Are you implying that I'm drunk?" "─ I am not implying it." "Well, you'd better not." "What are you going to do?" "─ I'm going to drive this lady home." "You ain't pushing me around." "─ Nobody's pushing you." "I want to know who will take care of my fender." "Serves you right." "Too many cabs on the street anyway." "Hey, they're trying to make a get-away." "─ Let's see your license." "I want to know who is going to take care of my bent fender." "Is this car insured?" "─ I'm quite sure it is." "Isn't it dear?" "Are you talking to me?" "─ Yes, dear." "Well, of all things." "Get going." "You're blocking traffic." "─ What about my car?" "What do you want to do, get run over?" "─ I demand justice." "You'll get justice." "─ I have rights as a citizen." "What about me?" "─ She hit me first." "Well what do you call that?" "A love-pat?" "It's nice of you to do this but I have to ask you not make any more fresh remarks." "I've been fresh?" "You recall what you said back there?" "─ I did that to keep you out of trouble." "Then you didn't mean it?" "─ No." "Oh, that's alright." "I never allow anyone to take liberties with me." "Positively no-one." "─ You might have gone to jail." "Oh, I'd have tore myself out of that somehow." "Do you always talk your way out of bad situations?" "When I am in the right." "Do you think you were right bumping cars all over the street?" "Well, don't you?" "─ Do you think of the rights of others?" "Not when they are in the wrong!" "Turn here at the corner." "You should have turned back there." "I forgot to tell you." "Is this the main entrance?" "─ Yes, this is it." "So, thanks very much." "Stay right where you are and I'll hold the door for you." "No, you don't need to bother." "─ I believe in doing things properly." "You are used to service, and I'll see that you get it." "Well after all, I suppose I could get out by myself in an emergency." "Thanks again." "You've been very charming." "I don't wish to be bold, but as Milton's gone, I'd like to apply for the position." "What position?" "─ As a chauffeur." "Oh, I forgot about that." "But you don't look like a chauffeur." "─ I think I drive very well." "But you don't talk like a chauffeur." "─ I have references." "And I need the job." "If I'm not stepping out of my place too much, you need a chauffeur pretty badly." "Well, if you are not joking, I'd be happy to grant you an interview some time." "Could you do it now?" "I might as well get it over with." "Come in, come in." "Any calls, Stevens?" "─ No, Miss." "But Mr Billingsley is waiting to see you in the study." "Oh, is he?" "Well, I want to see Mr Billingsley." "Just make yourself comfortable." "Ah, there you are Mr Billingsley." "Am I going to give you a piece of my mind." "That won't be any novelty." "─ This is no time for joking." "Your secretary and I have been going over some of your recent cheques." "And I can't find anything to joke about." "Why did you send that horrible letter to Mr Carter?" "I'm only trying to keep you out of jail." "Well, there might be somebody going to jail, but I won't be the one." "Will you leave us alone for a few minutes?" "I'll call you if I want you, Josephine." "Here's a cheque made out for $10,000 to a "Dog  Cat" hospital." "Well somebody has to take care of the poor things." "Here is one for $7,500." "Are you waiting for someone?" "─ I'm waiting to be interviewed." "For what?" "─ Well, I hope to be the new chauffeur." "You're a nice-looking young man." "And If I were you I'd sneak quietly out of that door and run for my life." "Why did you have to get into this mess?" "What do you think money is .. confetti?" "Is it alright to take this room now?" "─ Who are these men?" "They're from the Sheriff's office." "─ What're they doing?" "Taking an inventory." "I don't need an inventory." "I know everything in this house backwards." "They always take an inventory before an auction." "Who is having an auction?" "─ Your creditors." "You are being ridiculous and paternal." "Pardon me gentlemen, but you don't need to bother with whatever you are doing." "We've got two more rooms to inventory." "Mr Billingsley has had his little joke." "You may go now." "We can't until we're done." "If you don't leave at once, I'll call the Police." "If you do, we'll have to pinch them for interfering with the law." "Then you're not joking?" "I've been trying to warn you about this for the past five years." "Warn me about what?" "Bankruptcy .. and it looks like she's here." "You mean to say there is nothing left in my estate?" "Well, if there is, I can't find it." "You can't pull the wool over my eyes." "I know something about business." "If you can't say where my money's gone and get it back .." "You're going to find yourself in a very serious predicament." "I'm only trying to help you." "─ Help me?" "If you were trying to help me, you would not bring these men here to humiliate me." "And I know something about law too, and swindling and things like that." "And what?" "I'm not saying you did anything, but if you have, I'll see that you're punished." "If I hadn't been so fond of your Grandfather, I might lose my temper." "You don't need to threaten me." "In spite of the things you are saying .." "I'll try and salvage what I can from the wreck." "I'll see you at the auction, Friday." "─ Friday?" "You intend to have an auction, Friday?" "─ The Sheriff does." "You'll have to make another day." "I'm having a Kitty-party Friday." "I heard about that, and I told your secretary to cancel it." "What?" "You are trying to ruin me socially as well as financially." "If I were a man, I'd throw you out of this house." "Would you be kind enough to throw Mr Billingsley out?" "Mr Billingsley, you're being very naughty and I must ask you to leave." "Gladly." "That was very nice of you." "─ I'm only too happy to be of service." "What's your name?" "─ Enright ─ Oh." "Well .." "I'm so upset I've forgot what we were going to talk about." "You were to give me an interview for a chauffeur." "Oh." "Stupid of me." "Better get your dough in advance, Enright." "Would you ask those two men to leave." "That would be interfering with the law." "Come on Enright." "Ask us to leave." "You might at least take off your hats in the presence of a lady." "We're just old routines." "I don't know why I bother with a pair of hoodlums." "Won't you sit down?" "─ Isn't it usual to stand at attention?" "Well, you don't have on a uniform, and I can be very democratic in an emergency." "You do have a uniform?" "─ Not with me." "You haven't always been a chauffeur, have you?" "How did you know?" "─ I can tell." "Well, that is amazing." "─ What were you before?" "A doctor, but I've been detoured." "─ By a woman?" "How do you know all these things?" "─ I can tell." "I leave everything to numerology and astrology and things like that." "It's much more reliable than thinking for myself." "Do you have any references?" "I can get some." "─ Fine." "Now let's see." "What else must I ask you?" "─ About habits?" "Do you drink?" "─ No." "Smoke?" "─ Not on duty." "Why do you wear those glasses?" "─ Habit." "I think you make a much better appearance without them. ─ Thank you." "As a chauffeur, I mean." "I'd like to feel that I can be more than a chauffeur." "Oh no, no." "That will never do." "I .. never allow any familiarity." "I didn't mean it that way." "As a doctor, maybe I can help with any other problems." "As long as you didn't mean it the other way." "Women don't interest me." "Ah, I forgot about that other one." "─ I can't, unfortunately." "Did she leave .. scars?" "─ No. ─ No scars?" "That's odd." "They usually do." "You understand why I ask these questions?" "─ Oh yes." "It is very clear." "Lots of women say things they don't mean, but I'm not like that." "Most chauffeurs say it is their duty to fall in love with their mistresses." "It happens to my friends all the time." "─ It could never happen in our case." "Why you say that?" "─ What month were you born?" "March." "─ That's what I thought." "You are Pisces." "Practical, intellectual." "High strung." "Oh, how interesting .. do you know about those things, too?" "What are you?" "─ Capricorn." "─ That's the goat, isn't it?" "Always." "You see Capricorn and Pisces can never meet under favorable circumstances." "Especially during the autumnal equinox." "─ How interesting." "Do you know anything about palms?" "─ Only when I have to." "Enright." "I spy .." "Go on about your business." "Is this an urn or a vase?" "If you break it, you'll find out." "Thanks a lot." "What do you see?" "─ Hmm." "Very unusual." "That's what I've been told." "I see Arizona, and a man." "Have you ever been in love?" "When I was a little girl." "I was eight and he was ten." "But that is all over now." "And you never married?" "Women with money don't have to marry." "Has it ever occurred to you to marry for another reason?" "A home or a family?" "Heavens, no." "My father used to say .." "Poor people are the only ones who could afford to have families." "He was married at the time, so he might have been joking." "I'm talking too much." "I want you to talk." "So I can find more about you and be more helpful to you." "Most people won't listen to me." "Most people have little sense of intellectual companionship." "Isn't it true." "This has been so interesting that I've forgot to ask you what salary you want." "Don't you think we ought to leave that until after the auction?" "There won't be an auction." "Don't worry about that." "That's just Mr Billingsley's way of being funny." "Attention ladies and gentlemen." "It is my pleasure this morning, to call to your attention." "This particularly handsome figure is offered for sale to the highest bidder." "It is a bronze statuary." "An imported piece that .." "I've been looking all over." "Have you seen her?" "She's upstairs having one of her "spells"." "How is Miss Palmer?" "─ I'm going after some smelling salts." "Come on boys, take it right on through." "What will people think of this?" "It is very humiliating." "This is my favorite lounger." "You are not going to .." "Sit me down." "Stop, stop." "You want the old thing as much as that, take it .. get out .. you too." "Well Mr Billingsley, I hope you're enjoying my humiliation." "This is no fun for me." "─ You will be punished in due time." "Mr Enright, can't you do something about all this?" "─ I'm afraid not." "At least you're loyal, and there's nothing I admire as much as loyalty." "There's nothing you can do about it now." "Why not get into the spirit of things?" "Well, it is kind of exciting, isn't it." "There is Martha." "Yoo-hoo, Martha!" "Martha, how nice of you to come." "─ Auctions bring out the vulture in me." "Hello Mrs Howell." "─ Hello dear." "If I knew all my friends were coming .." "I could have had the auction and the Kitty-party at the same time." "Jane, you don't seem very worried." "─ Why worry with so much excitement?" "Do you realize you're being sold out of house and home?" "That's part of the fun." "Mr Billingsley's will be furious when I make him buy all these things back again." "I can't tell you about it now, as he's right behind you." "But my dears, he's an absolute #@%." "You know what I mean?" "Oh, there is Mabel French." "I haven't seen her in a long time." "Mabel, no-one told me you were here." "I'm making a getaway with some loot." "─ Don't go." "The party as just started." "Pardon me, Miss." "There is rather an odd-looking couple at the front door." "Well, of all things .." "Coleman." "You look so funny." "I didn't know who you were." "Are we the only ones in costume?" "Don't bother about that." "A party is a party." "Come on." "Oh Mabel, you remember Coleman, don't you?" "What side of the family are you?" "I was going to have a Kitty-party, but we decided to have an auction instead." "But it's all the same thing." "Just make yourself comfortable." "I'll be right back." "Don't stand still, you might be auctioned off." "Stevens .. have cook fix up oodles of caviar and some sandwiches." "And lots of drinks and things." "You know." "There's very little in the icebox, Miss." "─ Don't be ridiculous." "Send cook in." "Who are those two freaks?" "─ I'm not talking to you, Mr Billingsley." "Oh Martha, have you see the Coleman's?" "They are too funny for words." "What are you going to say to the cook?" "─ That's my business." "You can't blame her for anything." "You haven't any credit with the grocers." "So, you have corrupted the grocer?" "Alright Mr Billingsley, you have your innings now." "Mine will come later." "I know how to deal with an absolute .." "─ Uhuh!" "And you can't really do anything legally because I haven't actually said it." "Yes, Miss?" "Oh." "Never mind, Betty." "Go back to the kitchen." "Oh, may I speak to you privately, Miss?" "─ Is it an emergency?" "Kind of." "─ Alright Betty." "Over here." "Yes, what is it, Betty?" "─ It's about last month's cheque, Miss." "The bank sent it back." "Well, don't worry about it, Betty." "When this is over, I'll pay you a bonus." "One thing you might as well get straight." "There will not be anything left over." "Oh, well I'm a very poor woman." "And I have a family." "Don't cry Betty." "I'll sell something and pay you." "You can't sell anything." "─ There must be something I can sell." "Only your personal belongings." "Alright, I'll sell one of my mink coats." "How's that?" "Here are smelling salts." "─ I feel alright now." "Don't throw them away." "I may need them." "─ You buy your own smelling salts." "Oh Miss Palmer, if it's just the same to you, I'll take a mink coat." "Alright." "Which one do you want?" "The dark one." "After all, you know I've been loyal." "What about me?" "I've been loyal, too." "I suppose you think I wouldn't look good in a mink coat." "Please!" "You can have the silver fox, Josephine." "After all, I've been here longer than she has." "And you think you look better in it than me?" "Oh no you don't." "Just a minute." "Don't push me!" "We'll see about that." "See, I'm right what I mean by "loyalty"." "─ Generally." "By the way, where's your uniform?" "I didn't think I needed it today." "You see, they've auctioned off the cars." "Have they gone too?" "Naturally, you wouldn't need a uniform if you haven't got a car to drive." "Her today and gone tomorrow." "Excuse me, I've got to whoop things up." "Anytime you think you can get the best of me." "Not while I've got my strength." "I can handle a whole flock like you and a few extras thrown in for good measure." "Hey." "Sorry to disturb you buddy." "Hey buddy." "What is it?" "Sorry to wake you up but we've got to load this thing." "That's alright." "Glad you did." "I was having a horrible dream." "Are you from the Sheriff's?" "─ No." "I'm just custodian to a nitwit." "Well anyway, I'm sorry we had to disturb you." "I couldn't be any more disturbed than I have been." "Well, so long." "─ So long." "Did you sleep well, Enright?" "I'll tell you when I've got this crick out of my neck." "I tried to sleep on the floor, but it was too uncomfortable." "How did you like roughing it?" "─ I enjoyed it." "My, doesn't the place look empty and funny?" "It's empty alright, but I don't see anything funny about it." "Oh, you should get fun out of everything." "Why don't you come to your senses?" "Please remember, you're a chauffeur." "─ I'm not a chauffeur." "You attitude seems to have changed since I lost all my furniture." "I'm not here because I want to be." "I expect disloyalty from my friends, but not from my chauffeur." "Stop calling me that." "─ If you're not one, what are you?" "I'm a psychoanalyst." "That is, I thought I was." "Oh yes, and you were detoured by that other woman?" "Yes, and as soon as I can get rid of that woman, I'm going to be an analyst again." "I think I can help you in this emergency." "─ I'm here to help you." "Yes, I think I can help you get that other woman out of your mind." "Because, as a woman myself, I would know more about those things than you would." "See if we can find a couple of eggs." "Why talk about women on an empty stomach." "Well, I'd like to hear a little more about it." "Was there another man?" "No. ─ Did she drink?" "─ No, but she's driving me to it." "It wasn't bridge or gin-rummy?" "─ No." "She was just a nitwit." "Well, those women can be very dangerous." "─ You're telling me." "I'm sure we could do something about it." "Let's get at the eggs first." "After all, your problem is greater than mine." "I haven't any problem." "─ Where are you going to live?" "What are you going to live on?" "What will you eat?" "Where are you going to sleep?" "Have you ever done any work in your life before?" "After all, I'm the granddaughter of Stephen J. Palmer." "You've heard of the Palmer Foundation?" "─ Vaguely." "Have you any relatives?" "No." "What about "Cactus Kate" Palmer out in Arizona?" "She's your Grandmother, isn't she?" "─ How do you know about her?" "She's the one who is meant to have gold buried somewhere in the hills, isn't she?" "Do you know that if people knew she was my Grandmother it would ruin me socially." "You got a pretty good start now, haven't you?" "Aren't you having any eggs?" "─ Yes, these are mine." "That's my icebox." "─ It was your icebox." "Those are my eggs." "You owe me a week's salary and these eggs are pretty expensive." "I didn't think you were mercenary." "─ If you want eggs, you cook them." "Of course, I could starve." "You've got to start to do things for yourself." "I thought you'd help me out in this emergency." "You're just being mean like everyone else." "I thought you were helping me." "─ I'm the one who has the problem." "Do you know about psychoanalysis?" "─ Is it like numerology?" "It was originally called the "talking cure"." "People talked and the doctor could find what they were afraid of, and help hem" "Sounds silly." "Just what is it in Arizona that you are afraid of?" "I'm not afraid of anything." "─ Tell me about it." "Talk it out." "Well, I don't remember much about it." "I remember Stanley and the way he used to pull my pigtails." "And then I'd cry and throw rocks at him." "Who is Stanley?" "Don't you remember?" "When I was eight and he was ten?" "Oh yes." "The big romance." "Tell me about it." "I remember one time I hit him on the head with a big rock." "Kicked him in the shin, knocked him down, took a bite out of his forehead." "Oh, that was fun." "Then my Grandma spanked me." "That was very humiliating." "You know, I don't think my Grandmother ever liked me." "If there is anything in the world I hate, it is being spanked." "Keep talking." "─ That's why could never go back there." "Stanley was alright, very forgiving." "What is a few bumps when you're ten years old?" "Besides, she lives in a shack by herself." "She never has any parties or anything." "See, this talking business is wonderful." "I feel better already." "Where do you learn about these things?" "It's like a game." "Speaking of parties." "I never had a party in my life until I got all this money from my Grandfather." "What money?" "─ The money Mr Billingsley had .." "You know what I mean." "─ I have the solution to your problem." "You have?" "You go back to Arizona where you can face this thing you fear." "I thought you would help me." "─ I am helping you." "Mr Billingsley was helping me too, and look!" "I'm not Mr Billingsley." "─ And I'm not going to Arizona." "Alright then." "I'm leaving." "Alright, you can leave me here all alone." "I'll know what to do." "That's better." "That's what I wanted." "─ What?" "I want you to do something for yourself." "I don't think you'll like what I'm going to do." "What are you going to do?" "─ Oh, never mind." "You're talking like a child." "You are a doctor." "You should know." "Is drowning easier than gas?" "You spoiled brat." "You've had your way for so long you never think of other people." "That's what Milton said." "─ Who's Milton?" "─ My other chauffeur." "I don't care." "I'm going to help you get your feet on the ground and like it." "You're going back to Arizona." "You never should have left there in the first place." "And if you want any further help from me, you've got to take orders." "Do .. you .. understand?" "Yes, Enright." "Well, go and get packed." "Alright, I'll go to that horrible place and get bitten by something and die." "I'm not afraid." "I'll show you .." "─ Go and get packed!" "I'm not afraid of a thing on 4 legs or 2." "─ Go and get packed." "Yes, sir." "A few domestic troubles?" "─ A little." "Don't take them serious." "All women is a little tetched." "Good evening." "─ We'd like accommodation for the night." "Oh, right down here." "Who do you think you are treating me like this?" "You was living in a worse dump than this when I found you." "Yeah?" "When I married you, you were walking on four legs." "Go on, slam the door." "That's the way you always end an argument." "I'll just strike you." "─ We want two cottages." "You expecting another party?" "─ No." "Why, there's two beds in every cottage." "─ We still want two cottages." "Oh, well we don't often get a request like that." "Don't talk so much." "Everybody seems to be quarreling these days." "It must be in the air." "Now this one is nice and quiet." "I guess you could use a good night's sleep." "[ dogs barking .. baby crying ]" "This is the quiet one?" "Huh?" "─ Never mind." "Where is the tub?" "─ What tub?" "─ The bathtub." "Oh well .. we only got showers here .. but they ain't working." "What have you gotten me into?" "There isn't even a place here to bathe." "What's the matter with the shower?" "─ It isn't working." "Well, we've got emergency buckets in every cottage." "What do I do with this?" "Take it right out here, and fill it up at this here faucet." "Over there." "The new reservoir will be in by spring." "─ I'm afraid I won't be back to enjoy it." "The missus ain't in very good humour." "─ She's learning." "Listen, slow-wit." "How long does it take you to get a pail of water?" "I can't make it run any faster than it is running." "You'll never get me in a dump like this again." "Alright, but quit picking on me." "Wait a minute .. what's the idea?" "─ This is an emergency." "Give me that bucket." "─ Can't you ask like a gentleman?" "I know my rights." "─ Don't talk to me about rights." "What's the trouble?" "─ Would you please knock him down?" "Him and who else?" "─ He's definitely in the right." "If you were a man, you'd lose your temper." "I you weren't a spoiled brat, you'd hold yours." "Well, of all things." "So, I ain't a gentleman?" "─ I didn't say you weren't." "Well, she did." "─ I didn't." "She ain't going to get away with it." "─ Well, tell her that." "I'm in a mood to fight." "─ Well, don't fight me." "Well, you're her husband, ain't you?" "─ No." "Thank heavens." "Oh a Cad, huh?" "─ Don't do that." "Put up your dukes." "I'm sorry." "Oh, that's alright." "I just lost my temper." "Listen, rag-head, are you going to bring me that water?" "Yes, dear." "If there was no women in the world, there would be no trouble." "I'm inclined to agree with you." "Stanley!" "─ Yes, my dear?" "─ What are you doing?" "Practicing my roping." "─ Well, quit and come running." "What's the matter?" "─ You'll never be a roper." "Just listen to this telegram from Jane." ""Dear Grandma."" ""Sound the cymbals, beat the drums, roll out the red plush and polish the pewter."" ""Headed your way on the horns of a .."" ""Dilemma." ─ What's a "dilemma"?" "Search me." "Well it ain't no brand of bull." "─ Where is she coming from?" "New York." "─ That's a long ride on a pair of horns." "Little old Janey." "She was quite a character." "Little old Janey, my eye." "She's a grown woman." "Gosh, that's right." "Ain't seen her in fifteen years." "I bet she's pretty, too." "Yeah." "She takes that from our side of the family." "[ singing ] "Stanley's girl is coming to town." "Stanley's girl is coming to town."" "Ah, Strawberry, quit your carrying-on." "─ You quit, Stanley." "You're as pleased as a sheep-killing dog." "I wonder if she'll remember me." "─ Why not?" "You remember her, don't you?" "Well, I've still got the bump on my head where she hit me with a two-by-four." "That's love." "You should have seen me and old Mutton-head." "Who was he?" "─ The biggest lush in Arizona." "That reminds me." "I've got to be getting over to my place and getting dressed." "What's your hurry?" "─ Well, Jane will be arriving any minute." "And I figure on doing a little courting." "I know she'll be expecting to see a man's man." "I don't want to disappoint her." "Bye, ma'am." "Bye, Strawberry." "─ Bye, Stanley." "Mighty pleased with himself, ain't he." "─ Yeah." "And ready to break right out in a heat-rash." "Miss Kate?" "─ Yeah?" "Is she really coming to see him?" "Hard to tell, Strawberry." "All the farmers are just a little bit crazy." "Well, here we are." "Ten miles off the main road, but I don't see any signs of life." "That looks like Grandma's house over there." "It seems to have shrunk." "There is somebody now." "It's Grandma." "Grandma, ho!" "Ho!" "Grandma seems to have shrunk, too." "We really had a time finding this place." "What are you doing here?" "You wouldn't pay me a visit, so I had to come out here and see you." "It took you long enough to make up your mind." "Oh, I don't like that soft stuff." "Who is the big galoot?" "─ That's Enright." "What's he want here?" "─ He's helping me with a problem." "What kind of a problem have you got?" "─ I'll tell you all about it later." "Bring the things right on in, Enright." "Put the bags in there." "If you came here after money, you ain't going to get it." "Who said I came after money?" "When a Palmer drops in from nowhere, you can bet your life they want something." "I don't want anything." "But everybody knows that you've got gold buried here somewhere." "The newspapers are full of it." "Well, if you want any, you must to get it out of the newspapers." "Don't talk about it in front of Enright." "This is a charming place." "Is that portrait of your husband?" "Yep .. that's old Mutton-head." "Why was he known by such a horrible name?" "People knew what they were talking about in them days." "He made a great contribution to medical science." "He must have been a man of high purpose." "He got cured of corns, once." "So they talked him into putting up a monument." "You can talk the Palmers into anything." "Don't pay too much attention to Grandma." "She doesn't mean half she says." "I see her bark is worse than her bite." "─ Don't be too sure." "He ain't your husband, is he?" "─ Heavens, no." "He doesn't like women." "At least not at the moment." "What about that "problem" business?" "Well .. you remember Mr Billingsley?" "What about him?" "─ He's turned out to be a .." ""Absconder"." "─ A what?" "He absconded with all the money Grandpa left me." "I don't suppose you helped him none, did you?" "So I was thinking if you could lend me a little gold .." "I could hire some lawyers and have Mr Billingsley put in jail." "Where he belongs!" "We'll talk about it later." "Where you going to put Enright?" "I ain't going to put him in any place." "If he's going to hang around here, he'll take one of them shacks down there." "He ain't going to help you with no problems in this house." "Aren't any of those shacks occupied?" "Oh, you may find a few scorpions floating about." "Maybe you can help them with their problems?" "Enright won't mind that." "He just loves Arizona." "Well, I'll tell you something else." "I can shoot a rattle-snake in the eye at fifty paces." "Why should you want to do that?" "─ I could if I had to." "I'm sure of it .. can I have one of those shacks over there?" "Not so fast .." "I want to know something about you." "Well, I know I can confide in you." "I have your granddaughter under observation." "Are you a detective?" "─ No." "I'm a doctor." "What's the matter with her?" "─ Well .. it's here." "Oh, you scared me to death." "I thought it was something serious." "Don't lose your temper, Enright." "What's she talking about?" "─ I very seldom know." "Let me give you a bit of advice, young man." "There ain't no cure for what she's got." "─ I don't think it is as bad as that." "I lived with her Grandfather for forty years and look at me." "I don't see anything wrong with you." "─ Oh, there's things that don't show." "I'm only trying to tell you that you'll end up daffier than she is." "Well, I'll take a chance." "─ Remember, I warned you." "Thanks." "Why do they call that the "Lost Hope Saloon"?" "Oh, that's another monument to old Mutton-head." "You see, he gave up hope of finding gold in these parts." "And then, bang!" "He hit the mother-lode." "Did he build the saloon?" "─ Yes, he was one of its best customers." "And he carried many a load after that, that wasn't a mother-lode." "I see." "Well, is it alright if I move in there?" "Help yourself." "I ain't stopping you." "─ Thanks." "How do you like him?" "─ I ain't made up my mind." "That's his trouble." "He's not in harmony with his vibrations." "What are you talking about?" "He has lost faith in women and I feel it my duty to restore it." "Did you scare it out of him?" "─ That was another woman." "Why don't you let her do her own restoring?" "Because you must do things for others." "You'd help me if you weren't stingy." "If you'd been more stingy, you wouldn't be in trouble now." "Is this where you hide it?" "─ Hide what?" "Alright, don't tell me." "It will be like looking for Easter-eggs." "What are you talking about?" "─ Your gold." "I ain't got no gold but if I did have, I wouldn't hide it down there." "But it's a wonderful hiding place." "It's where it was hiding when your Grandpa found it." "If there was gold down there then, there must be gold down there now." "If you can find any, it's all yours." "Hello Kate." "─ Hello, Ground-Hog." "My granddaughter wants some gold." "Show her where to find it." "There ain't enough gold in this part of the country to fill a hound's tooth." "So why are you looking for it?" "We old desert-rats just dig and hope." "Oh "hope"." "That's the trouble." "You have to have faith too." "If your vibrations are right, you don't need hope." "Now excuse me." "I'm going to take a bath." "She's more like Mutton-head than Mutton-head himself." "If she had a walrus mustache, and a hangover .." "I'd think I was seeing things." "Good morning." "─ Well, you're up bright and early." "I brought you some ham and eggs." "─ Thanks a lot." "Cooked them myself." "─ That'll make them taste all the better." "They fell apart a little, but they're still eggs." "It's the thought behind an egg that counts." "If I'm going to learn to do things for others, I might as well start right in." "Don't forget, when you do things for others, you do a great deal for yourself." "It's a little confusing sometimes" "Less and less confusing as time goes on." "You'll get your feet on the ground and you'll be calm." "I don't want to be too calm." "─ Just calm enough." "I like people to show some fire." "─ Yes, but on the useful side of life." "You mean, doing things for others and yourself." "That's it." "Well .." "I've got to get down that mine and start digging." "That's the spirit." "I hope Mr Billingsley's ears are burning at some of my false friends, too." "Good luck." "Hope you find oodles of gold." "─ I only need a few buckets full." "I'm already to start now, if you'll just explain everything to me." "It don't amount to much." "You just lower a bucket on this hand-winch and get down there and .. dig." "Pour your ore in the stamp .. and pan it." "It sounds simple enough." "What are those holes going that way?" "Oh, they're cross-cuts to keep the stope." "What's a "stope"?" "─ It's where Mutton-head hit the bonanza." "Oh my .." "It's quite a way down there, isn't it." "─ Yeah." "Well, I think I'll go down and have a look around." "Wait a minute." "You got to have a pick." "Thanks." "─ Want me to go along?" "No." "I've got to learn to do things for myself." "Well, you won't find nothing." "But if you like to dig in the mud, go ahead." "It's in the blood." "Thank heavens I'm only a Palmer by marriage." "She's got spunk." "That big galoot must have hypnotized her." "That's the first time she ever did a bit of work in her life." "Look out for that second ladder." "Them rungs are slippery." "I'm being careful." "Ahhhh!" "Did you hurt yourself?" "No, but I'm in mud from head to foot." "─ Are you alright?" "I guess so, if you want to call it that." "Take it easy." "Take it easy." "Here." "Give me your hand." "─ Thanks." "Well, you certainly gave yourself a walk around, didn't you." "I never knew gold-mining was such a messy business." "That pit ain't deep." "Well, let's haul her up and see what we've got." "If I haven't got a bucket-full of gold, I'm going to be very disappointed." "Well, that's part of the excitement." "Wondering what you got." "Like fishing." "I'm wondering whether Mr Billingsley is worth all this." "Who's he?" "─ A very unpleasant man." "It takes all kinds of people to make a world." "Here we are." "Now, you hold this." "I'll get round here and .." "Drop this ore in the bull cart." "Okay?" "─ And haul it over to .. the stamp." "It all seems so complicated." "It wouldn't be any fun if it wasn't complicated." "Too bad gold doesn't grow near the surface like cabbage." "If it did, it'd be as cheap as cabbage." "─ I don't mind work, if I get results." "Don't expect to get results too quick." "─ I believe in numerology." ""Five" is the number I vibrate to." "─ I don't get you." "Don't you see?" "It's the fifth day of the month." "Oh, I see what you mean." "─ What do you we do now?" "Well, we run some ore through this hand-stander." "Then we'll crush the ore." "─ Let me do it." "Let me do it." "Come on." "─ What do you think you're doing?" "Stomping gold." "─ You look as if you been diving for it." "I fell in the Stoop." "─ "Stope". ─ I mean "Stope"." "What do we do next?" "─ Well, we take this .." "Put that." "Swirl it around like that." "And, if there is any gold in it, it goes to the bottom." "I don't see any." "─ Ain't any to see." "How discouraging." "Wait until you're my age before you talk about being discouraged." "When she was a baby, she fell on her head." "But I didn't think she hit that hard." "Have you hit the bonanza yet?" "No, but if I do, I'll make better use of it than you would." "You don't make sense." "But you're certainly drawing a crowd." "Hi, Slim!" "Ain't seen you in years, you old galoot." "What you been doing with yourself?" "How are you, Kate?" "I knew you old coots would show up as soon as you saw somebody digging." "We got word that Lost Hope was coming to life." "Don't pay no attention to her." "She's just amusing herself." "It's cheaper than putting her in an institution." "Hello." "─ Hello." "Are you the girl who's meant to be loco?" "─ Loco?" "Sometimes people who are meant to be loco aren't as loco as people who are alright." "Why you been digging that old worn-out mine for?" "Sometimes you have to do things you don't want to do as people want you to do them." "I know it." "I'm always doing that." "What's your name?" "─ Strawberry." "Do you live around here?" "I live over the hill with my uncle Fletcher." "You like Arizona?" "You got to like a place if you ain't got no other place to like." "You think I'll ever learn to like it?" "You'll like things you learn to like." "What about scorpions and snakes and things like that?" "Uncle Fletcher says scorpions don't mind living with people." "As long as people behave themselves." "No, I don't suppose it makes much difference where you are." "As long as there is somebody to do something for." "I wouldn't know about that." "─ Ain't you got a boyfriend?" "Can't give them no room." "─ Why?" "Oh, they can't ride or shoot or do nothing." "When I was your age I used to have a boyfriend." "Not for me." "I'd rather shoot sidewinders." "─ Sidewinders?" "Couldn't help but overhear." "─ I beg your pardon?" "." "Run along little girl." "Here's five cents." "Why kind of cows do you ride herd on?" "─ Run along .. run along." "They must be awfully sweet and pretty." "─ You don't have to go." "I'll come around again when you ain't bogged down with old Fancy-pants." "She's what we call a desert mouse." "She ain't big enough to be a rat." "I think she's sweet." "I knew a girl her age once, who was a lot sweeter." "I hope you're not trying to be familiar." "─ You don't remember me?" "You're not ..?" "─ I'm Stanley." "Well .. my, how you've changed." "─ I'd know you anywheres." "It has been a long time ago." "You ain't been out of my mind since you was knee-high to a new-born calf." "Well, I'm glad I've been in somebody's mind." "When I heard you'd come back home, I sat right down and wrote a lament." "A lament?" "─ Would you like to hear it?" "Well, I'm not quite sure I know what it is." "I can play it for you better than I can talk it." "You don't mind if I go on with my work, do you?" "No, go right along." "Don't make no difference."

"Was it pleasing to you?" "─ Why, I never heard anything like it." "It was something that was in my heart and I just had to get rid of it."

"I'm heading for the barn." "Please don't leave me alone with him." "I couldn't stand it." "Howdy." "─ Good evening, Stanley." "Why don't you go someplace where people might be wanting you?" "She's quite a character." "Little girls should be home in bed." "─ I ain't got no bed." "Look what I've found here." "Five cents." "─ Put it back .. awful mean." "Doggone, if there ain't ten cents hiding right underneath it." "Pooey to fifteen cents!" "Look, did you ever see one of those?" "─ What is it?" "─ Fifty cents." "Hot woodchucks .."

"I'm learning fast." "Out here, we don't allow no hifalutin with the womenfolk." "What have I done?" "You have insulted the woman with whom I am enamored." "Did she say that?" "─ Leave her out of this." "It's man-to-man." "You and I are going to do a little shooting." "I don't fancy plugging an unarmed man." "─ You would be doing me a big favor."

"No." "The Government's got all the gold it needs buried in Kentucky." "What's it about?" "There's millions in quicksilver around this country somewhere." "The Government is interested." "Anything wrong with that?" "Are you kidding?" "I'm not kidding." "─ Did you say "millions"?" "That's what it looks like." "─ That's all I want to hear." "What's the matter with everybody?" "Have they gone nuts?" "There all drunk." "I couldn't find nothing out." "What do you want?" "Is there a woman around here by the name of Palmer or is she a spook?" "What's it worth to tell you?" "─ Are you nuts too?" "No, I'm not." "─ Look lady, I'm getting desperate." "Is there a lady around here named Palmer?" "─ My name is Palmer." "Don't move." "─ Are you trying to be familiar?" "Do you own the Lost Hope mine?" "─ I have an interest in it." "Why?" "I must give away a million dollars and nobody wants it." "We must talk about that another time." "─ We'll talk about it now." "If you must give money away, give it to my Grandmother." "She loves to hoard money." "Where is your Grandmother?" "─ She's just ran over the hill." "Where are you going?" "─ Have you seen Enright?" "You mean Long-legs?" "─ You mustn't talk like that." "He's gone." "─ Gone?" "Where?" "He drove off that way and I don't think he's coming back." "When?" "─ Just now." "Did you see a tall, good-looking man drive off?" "─ Sure, why?" "I want you to follow him." "No." "I wait for the Government man." "Would you like to get shot?" "This is an emergency." "An emergency?" "Why didn't you say so?" "Let's go." "Get right in." "The Government man can wait." "Goodbye, Strawberry." "─ I can drive you in case of emergency." "If you'd said "emergency" we'd have been there by now." "Tell the Government man where I went." "Boys, when you hear the shooting, bust right out into song." "Where's my bride?" "─ We ain't seen her." "Something must have gone wrong." "Who you looking for, Fancy-pants?" "─ I'm looking for my bride." "She ran off with Long-legs." "Oh, I might have know'd it." "There is no use, fellahs." "White women ain't reliable." "Better get back to the reservation." "I don't want this to run into overtime." "Ain't you going to chase her, Stanley?" "No, I've done my best." "I'm going to get out of the fancy clothes and go back to practicing my roping." "I see .. when did you first notice this strange behavior?" "Ever since his return from Arizona." "Could be the climate." "Tell him about your experience." "I was talking to him the other day." "And he asked me if I thought a marriage could work if two people weren't mated." "Then he asked if numerology had anything to do with a person's vibrations." "What's numerology?" "─ Something to do with .. numbers." "Perhaps he's evolving a new theory." "Nice to see you again." "Doctor." "─ How do you do?" "This is Doctor Brewster, head of The Foundation." "This is Jane Palmer." "How do you do." "It's a pleasure I'm sure." "Won't you be seated." "If I can help Miss Palmer find a certain Dr Enright," "She's promised not to put me in jail." "─ Jail?" "I'm afraid I don't .. quite understand." "Well, you see I'm ashamed to admit it, but I've turned out to be an ab .." "You don't need to say it." "We have a Doctor Enright, right here on this floor." "Oh, I see what you mean." "But not in this office?" "No, he's just down the hall." "─ Is he a patient?" "Well, in a way." "But I am just beginning to diagnose his case." "It was another woman." "She's thrown him out of harmony." "I think we can get him back into harmony okay." "My Grandfather did a lot for this Foundation." "And I think The Foundation should do something for me and Enright." "I'm sure The Foundation can help you." "And you can help The Foundation." "That's what Enright always says, you must do things for others." "Yes." "Well, come with me." "Goodbye Mr Billingsley .." "I hope you grow fat on your ill-gotten gains." "You think I've got room?" "As for me, I've found something money can't buy." "And don't try and give any of it back to me, because I will refuse to take it." "Not even if you came crawling to me on your hands .. on your hands and knees." "You will find Dr Enright two doors down." "─ He can be cured, can't he?" "He's half cured now." "You'll have to do the rest." "Isn't science wonderful?" "─ It's coming along." "You are wonderful." "Even Mr Billingsley is wonderful, but I wouldn't let him know it." "Well Billingsley, it looks as if we might kill two birds with one stone." "I think you're hanging a rock around poor old Enright's neck." "Everybody to his own taste." "Speaking of taste." "You happen to have any more of that nerve-tonic?" "It was hidden right down there, the last time I was here." "The Foundation offers all kinds of service." "I'll just take it straight." "I've seen everything anyway, and a few pink elephants won't matter." "To you, Doc'." "Ah, well .." "A penny for your thoughts." "Where did you come from?" "─ Arizona." "Are you .. married?" "─ Not yet." "What about the Government man, and all that money?" "I'll let Grandma worry about that." "─ You mean .. you gave it all up?" "Some aren't meant to have money." "Besides, being a chauffeur, I knew you were sensitive about those things." "But now that I haven't any money any more, there is no need to be sensitive." "I would've said something to you sooner, if it hadn't been for that other woman." "If you hadn't slapped me, it may have been different." "But you did, and that changed the whole course of nature because .." "When a man slaps a woman, that shows he loves her." "Especially if he's sober." "I couldn't tell you before because that other woman was in your life." "But now that you're cured, I feel I can speak freely." "I think you're foolish about a lot of things." "But none of us can be perfect." "And I want someone to take care of me and I want it to be you." "Why don't you say something?" "Go on, say something." "See how much better you feel." "I spent four years in college, four years in medical school." "Two years as an intern." "All I ever wanted to be was a man of science." "I wanted to do something for humanity." "I don't know why this should have to happen to me." "It shouldn't have happened." "It couldn't have happened." "Keep talking .. keep talking .." "That's better." "Don't you feel better now?"
