All language subtitles for The Richest Girl In The World

What have we got for lunch?

Lamb stew.

Hello New York.

SS Atlantis calling.

Get me Dikeman 6-4-1-7-5.

Yeah. Evening Herald?

I want to talk to Haley.

Well, locate him.

Hello. Haley talking.

Put him on.

Hello Haley? This is Pinky.

What have you got?

You've got to protect me on this.

I don't want to get in any trouble.

Listen.

Dorothy Hunter is on board.

Did you see her?

Then how do you know?

You are sure now?

Okay.

Yeah, yeah.

Don't worry. So long.

Who do you think is coming in tomorrow?

Pazola the Belgian race horse.

Even more important than Pazola.

I give it up. Let's play something else.

Dorothy Hunter.

Dorothy Hunter.

Are you sure he has got it right?
- I am positive.

Then sit down and write up the story.
- Write the story about what?

About a column and a half.

Don't be funny. I will have to see her.

You can't see her.
- What do you mean, 'I can't?'

She has been coming here
about every two years.

And we've never seen her.
We haven't even got a picture of her.

Clips on Miss Hunter and a picture.

A picture.

All I want to know is how
he looks. I'll see her.

I think you will find she
has changed a little.

This is Haley from The Herald.

Is it true Miss Dorothy Hunter
is arriving in New York?

No, no, no. The last I heard
she was in Switzerland.

Yes? Yes, this is Mr Hargrave.

I understand Miss Dorothy Hunter
is arriving in New York.

That's news to me.
I was told she was in Vienna.

I know for a fact that Miss Dorothy
Hunter is arriving in New York.

I know for a fact she is in Honolulu.

On this first Monday after the
second Thursday in May.

In the year of our Lord 1934.

In accordance with the wishes of the
will of the late John J. Hunter.

May he rest in peace.

We, the trustees of
the Hunter estate do ..

Shouldn't we wait for Connors?

We don't have to.

We, the trustees of the Hunter
estate do meet and convene.

As is our annual custom.

For the purpose of the better
administration of the said estate.

To the benefit of Miss Dorothy Hunter.

Owner and stockholder in these various
companies and corporations etc, etc.

Fill that in.

Old business?

Old business closed.

New business.
David. Tell them the new business.

I propose a resolution.

That we, the trustees
of the Hunter estate.

Extend to Miss Dorothy
Hunter our well wishes.

That she be happy in her
forthcoming marriage.

Marriage? To who?

All those in favor say 'Aye'.

Carried. New business closed.

Lacking a dissenting voice
I hereby close this meeting.

Who is she going to marry, Dave?

I don't know. I spoke to Connors at sea
yesterday and that's all he told me.

I think it is great.
- It's time she got married.

Are we supposed to know this?

Why, she is coming here to meet us.

How old is she, Dean?

Well, she was about two when
the Titanic went down.

That was 1912.

She is 23 or 24.

I have never even seen her.
- Neither have I. Not even a picture.

How does she keep out of sight?

Connors.

He watches her like a hawk.

I have seen her only once.

I'll never forget it.
It was twenty years ago.

I was with Connors in the office
when the extra came out.

The Titanic had gone down.

John J. Hunter. Mrs Hunter.

And Connors' own wife were lost.

We walked out of the office.

Connors didn't take his hat or coat.

He went straight to the Hunter home.

Dorothy was in the nursery.

I remember it clearly.

He picked her up and
held her in his arms.

He was crying.

And then Dorothy. She didn't know why.

She began to cry too.

For twenty years now
he has been with her.

If he lets her get married.

It is his idea.

She will be here any minute now.

You can't hurry that, Charles.

Attention, boys and girls.

Now, when Miss Hunter comes.

Please do her the courtesy
of not staring at her.

Thank you.

Miss Hunter is here.
Hold an elevator, will you.

Yes, sir.

Gentlemen, Miss Dorothy Hunter.

How do you do, Miss Hunter.

How do you do.
- Won't you sit down?

Please be seated.

I really wanted to see you all.

I have rather a serious
complaint to make.

I am not ..

At all satisfied with the way
you are handling my affairs.

It is no use.

You simply have to send
me less things to sign.

That is about all.

I guess you know that
I am to be married.

I thought maybe you would like
to vote on it or .. something.

We have voted on it.

And may I?

You may. Unanimously.

From the bottom of our hearts we wish
you every happiness in the world.

Thank you.

You need not have any fear about my
future husband. He is hand-picked.

Jonathan picked him.
- Dorothy.

Yes you did John, and he
is a very nice young man.

You've nothing to be ashamed of.

Only don't think I didn't see behind
your constantly feeding us hot punch.

It really is a great romantic help.

It is a healthful nourishing drink.

Yes, John. But I will always
think of you as cupid.

John. I hope you are keeping
Miss Hunter invisible.

Invisible?

Well, you will be more comfortable.

You see, this isn't Europe.
We haven't many celebrities.

And the richest girl in the world finds
she won't have much of a private life.

That is alright. Jonathan never
lets me out until after dark.

Now remember.
Not a word about the marriage.

Miss Hunter. I know you will dread it.

But you will have to sign the minutes
of our annual meeting sometime.

But I will have to take my glove off.
- Yes, Miss.

You can sign it later.
- Yes, of course.

Gentlemen.

Good day.
- Good day, Miss Hunter.

Goodbye.

Good luck, Miss Hunter.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Didn't I act nicely?

Too nicely.

Darling.

How did she act, John?

Your wife and I are
not speaking, Philip.

Binkley.
- Yes?

Practicing?
- Yes, sir. Practicing.

Good.

Sign.

How did it go?
- Fine.

They hope your marriage
will be a very happy one.

That's nice.

Well.

Has Donald telephoned?

No.
- Really?

A bit late, isn't he?

Well, you had better
say something to him.

He hasn't seen you for seven
weeks and he arrives late.

As the fianc�e is bent,
the husband will grow.

That was a good one.

This will most likely
be a six-cushion shot.

Dorothy.

Philip has been getting
letters from his father.

He wants us to come to England.
- We just left there.

But he wants us to
live there permanently.

Are you going to?

But darling, you are
going to be married.

You won't be alone anymore.

You won't even want me around.

I'll always want you around.

It's been pretty hard for you two
to let me in on your honeymoon.

No, it hasn't Dorothy.

You are sweet.

Phil.

You sure John can't get you any business
you'd like to keep you here in America?

It is my family mostly.
They want us with them.

Yes.

After six years you would
leave the old mistress flat?

Jonathan, doesn't she have to
give us a two weeks' notice?

Yes. You could bring her into court.

Have her put in jail probably.

We'll do that.

Stay until I am married.

Just until after the wedding.
Come on, Philip.

Sylvia did want to be at your wedding.

But you're so indefinite
about the date, Dorothy.

I'll get married right away.

You fix everything, Jonathan.
- Fix what?

This isn't a business, deal.
You're about to be married.

Alright. Arrange it.
I'll be married in no time.

No you won't.
This is going to be a big wedding.

You'll need a lot of clothes.
- I've loads of clothes.

No. You haven't really.

You order me something.
You know what I like.

Anyone want to see my school report?

No.

I am working my way through college.
You didn't know me? Hello Philip.

Sylvia.
- Hello.

John.
- Hello.

And you, young lady.

Hmm. Brandy before dinner?
- I only had a couple.

I'd have been here earlier only ..
- Only you came later.

Don't mind us.

Come on.

Very subtle that.

That's why I like John. He is so subtle.

The day after I asked you to marry me he
almost shook me out of my family tree.

Woo.

A little drunky, huh?
- Just a little.

In your condition I will
give you ten points.

You'll give me twenty in my condition.

Split it. Make it fifteen.

Okay.

It's a deal.

Don.
- Yep?

You know, I have been thinking.

It's a little bit old-fashioned
to be a June bride.

Uhuh.

How about another month?

A month later?

I meant a month earlier.

That suits me fine.

Why did you say later?

Nothing. I just thought you meant that.

I want Sylvia to be at the wedding.
She has to go back to England.

Uhuh.

When she has gone
will you hire another ..

Secretary .. imposter?

I wanted to talk to you about that.

We'll live in American mostly, won't we?

Yes. I guess so.

I don't know anybody here but
I'll have to meet them eventually.

I thought I might as well tomorrow.

At the party?
- Yes.

Are you ..

Going to announce our engagement?

Johnny thought it would be a
good time. What do you think?

Yes. Sure.

John.
- Yep?

You've heard about woman's intuition?

You know. How they sense things.

Uhuh.

Well, I have a hunch.

It's a pretty long shot but I
would like to try it out on you.

Shoot.

I have a feeling that you
came here to say ..

That you didn't want to marry me.

And you lost your nerve.

A nice shot.

Dorothy, may I have a drink?
- Sure.

You are right.

I am sorry, Dorothy.
- That is alright.

Better than leaving me
waiting at St Trinity's.

Your love letters got so endearing
I became suspicious.

What happened, Don?
- I'm not in love with you, Dorothy.

Well, we weren't in love and
we decided to get married.

I thought we didn't believe in it.
- I believe in it now.

Oh.

I tried to be in love with you, Dorothy.
- Thanks.

What was the matter with me?

You won't laugh?

No.

Being the richest girl in the world.

But you weren't marrying
me for my money, Donald.

I don't know now if I was.

My family is wealthy but
not that kind of money.

If you were only the
second richest girl ..

It might have been different.
- You are not pitying me, are you?

I think I am.

I am terribly in love.

Really in love for the
first time in my life.

It is a great feeling.

But I'm afraid that's something
you will have to miss, Dorothy.

It's just the way you are situated.

Everything else comes to you.
Everybody scrapes before you.

You travel in secrecy
with the prime minister.

That is it, Dorothy.
You are like royalty.

And when somebody marries
a queen does he love her?

Or is it just to wear a crown?

I don't believe the man
really knows himself.

Well, I am not romantic.
It is just not in my nature.

But I am awfully glad for you, Donald.

I hope you will be happy.
- Thanks.

You are a peach.

Come on. You are shooting.

You might go to the
Adirondacks for a week or so.

You would like that.

I would rather sail Saturday.

If you like.

I could very easily call
the party off for tomorrow.

No. We might as well go through with it.

I'll be leaving in a couple of days.

Let Sylvia be Dorothy.

Where are you going, Dorothy?
- Just walking, John. Just walking.

Poor kid.

And she is always saying
she is not the romantic sort.

I know her. When she falls they
will never put her together again.

Yes. We loved the tennis matches.

We were at Wimbledon every day.

How do you do, Mr Cavendish.
- Hello, David.

Miss Hunter, may I
present Mr David Wilson.

Mr Wilson - Miss Dorothy Hunter.
- How do you do.

And Mr Jonathan Connors - Mr Wilson.

How do you do.

Here you are.
- Thank you, dear. So much.

Miss Lockwood, may I present Mr Wilson.

Ow do you do, Mr Wilson.

Lockwood is a great
friend of Miss Hunter's.

Did you cross with Miss Hunter?
- Yes.

Have a nice crossing?

It was fine. It was just smooth
enough to be comfortable.

It wasn't nearly as cold as we expected.
- Yes, isn't it.

I don't think you know
what I'm talking about.

Exactly.

Excuse me.

Yes. Of course.

Achoo.

God bless you.

You have caught a cold.
- Stop fussing, John.

Achoo.

I am sorry.
- That's alright.

25 points. 2 dollars a point.

You couldn't make that
5 dollars a point could you?

You have got it.

Not yet. But soon.

You know what we are doing, don't you?

The nearest one to this shoots first.

I read the rules once.

One.

Two.

Achoo.

Excuse me.

You are quite sure he is reliable?

He's been my physician
for fifteen years.

Dr Harvey, this is Mr Jonathan Connors.

How do you do, Dr Harvey.
- I came as quickly as I could.

We have a young lady
who has a terrible cold.

Excuse me.

You know. Anything may develop.
- I understand.

This young lady is
Miss Hunter's secretary.

I want you to take every precaution.

If you want to keep her
in bed, doctor, just say so.

I don't want to take any chances.

Forty, forty-five, fifty.

Fifty-five, sixty.

Sixty dollars.

Do you do this for a living?

I never play with strangers.

Do you feel like more?
- No thanks.

How would you like to go canoeing?
- Fine.

I've never been in a canoe.
- Neither have I. Come on.

Wait a minute. We've got to sneak.
- Why?

Dorothy Hunter.
- Dorothy Hunter?

Yes. I have been warned.
No unseemly conduct. No wild times.

No doing nothing unless
our hostess starts it.

Oh.

Therefore, we sneak.

Pardon me.

Are you Miss Hunter's secretary?

Why, yes.

Why don't you follow Dorothy around?

Now, Sylvia.

This is Dr Harvey.
Just let him look at you.

Excuse me please.
- Of course.

Shouldn't she be in bed, doctor?
- No. Certainly not.

I don't think so.

May I see your tongue?

Apparently just a slight cold.
There's nothing to be concerned about.

Fine. Good day, gentlemen.
- Listen to the doctor, Sylvia.

Take a small whisky in bed
tonight and bundle up.

Alright. I'll get drunk.
Just as you say.

Now remember to do that.
- Well, good day.

I want to apologise.
- It's perfectly alright.

I didn't know she was a friend of yours.
- I'm just her secretary.

And travelling companion. But you're
perfectly right. She spoils all the fun.

I wouldn't say that.

Can I tell you something confidentially?
- What?

I am getting sick and tired of being
around Dorothy Hunter myself.

We are going canoeing and
we leave the front way.

I want you to meet an
old friend of mine.

What's your name?

Anthony Travers.
- Anthony Travers.

Dorothy, may I present
Mr Anthony Travers.

Miss Dorothy Hunter.
- How do you do, Mr Travers.

Glad to know you, Miss Hunter.
- He thinks you're a charming hostess.

Thank you.

Achoo.

Oh. You have caught a cold.
- No I haven't.

You'd better get a sweater.

Do I need one?
- Yes, you do.

I see.

Marie.

Marie.

Get me a grey sweater.
- A grey sweater.

But you haven't a grey sweater, Miss.
- I haven't?

No, Miss Hunter.
- Well, what kind have I?

Dark blue.
- Oh. Dark blue.

How does it look?
- Very pretty, Miss Dorothy.

But remember to get some grey sweaters.
- Yes, Miss.

Let's see some others.

That is the only coat sweater
you have, Miss Dorothy.

Who picked this thing out?

You did.

I thought so.

Well Marie, let's hope
it's a blue canoe.

How does it look at the back?
- Fine, Miss Dorothy.

Well, we are off.

Did he ask you first?
- Uhuh.

I imagined he did.

He is worse than the rest.
He just grabbed at her.

Backgammon?

Come on Walter. We are pulling out.

The Indians had the right idea.

This is the only way to travel.

Isn't it great?

It was until you said this was the
first canoe you had ever been in.

Don't you worry. We couldn't
tip this thing over if we tried.

Let's not try, huh?

Look.

Suppose he can't swim?
- Serve him right.

Remember, you jump right in for Sylvia.

In the water?
- Where else can you jump?

But Sylvia swims marvellously.

She once won a medal.
- Shut up.

You don't seem to understand.
I don't want him to save her.

No hero stuff.

Oh.

But I will get wet.

They are coming right at us.

They are turning out now.
- But there will be a wave.

No there won't.
Now just keep to your seat.

Go away. Go away!

Here. Come on.

Where is Miss Hunter?

She's alright.
She is being taken care of.

Are you trying to drown me?

What did you have to jump in for?

I have to save you.

It was Dorothy's idea.

Oh.

Let go.

Well.

Just relax dear.

I'll take you in.

Say, when can I expect
those things back?

In a very few hours, sir.

Are you dressed?

Well. Won't you come in?
- Thanks.

How is Miss Hunter?
- Oh, she's fine.

Thanks.

She isn't angry at me is she?

You certainly are concerned
about Miss Hunter.

After all, I feel responsible.

You see, I asked her to go canoeing.

You say that to every girl.

I am terribly sorry about that.
I want to apologise.

It's alright. I can understand.

But really, I didn't ask here.
I give you my word I didn't.

I know. You were waiting for me in
the canoe and she just jumped in.

No, no.

I just said it would be
nice to be in a canoe.

And she turned to the Englishman
and said let's go in a canoe.

And he said I don't know one
end of a canoe from the other.

And I said, I do.
Both ends are the same.

So she said, you take me.

And you said I'm awfully sorry but I
promised to take the other young lady.

I couldn't do that.
- Why couldn't you?

That is a fine way to
talk about your boss.

Well, she isn't your boss.

Or would you like her to be?

Achoo.

That will teach you to break dates.
You've caught cold.

Don't worry. I won't kiss you.

Achoo.

Well, you can. I won't catch it.

Let's have a drink. Medicinally.

Doctor's orders.

Scotch, gin or bourbon?

Scotch.
- Scotch.

Then you really don't think
Miss Hunter is angry at me?

I told you she wasn't angry.
Anyway, what do you care?

After all, I am a guest of hers.

I see.

Who is that Englishman,
that fellow with her?

He is no competition.

Competition?
- He's a house guest.

He's a friend of Connors.

Let's quit ribbing me
about Miss Hunter, huh?

Enough?

Plenty.

To Dorothy Hunter.

To Dorothy Hunter.

My, they are terrible.

And that's the last mention
of Miss Hunter between us.

I ought to tell you something.

I think I will sit down.
You know I am ..

I'm not very much of a drinking girl.

I want to tell you. You know ..

In the billiard room you struck me as
a very unusual gentleman, Anthony.

Tony.
- Tony? Thank you.

Sylvia.
- Sylvia? Thank you.

A very unusual gentleman. Tony.

At the mention of Miss Hunter's
name you didn't exactly ..

Truthfully. In fact ..

If I remember rightly.

You thought the lady's mere
existence was a nuisance.

Exactly.

You know, the only way that liquor does
us any good is to have a big dose.

Wait a minute. I'll get it.

Now I consider that kind of
conduct highly commendable.

It shows you are an independent
free-thinking soul.

Not fawning on wealth and all that.

You made a very nice
impression on me, Tony.

A very nice impression.

Thank you.

Thank you.

This is to you.
- To me.

Now where were we?

'You made a very nice impression
on me, Tony. A very nice impression'.

Yes. A very nice impression.

So you can imagine my surprise
when I saw this model young man ..

Who is not fawning on wealth ..

Out canoeing with the very girl
he just said he wouldn't fawn on.

Do you follow that?

I got it.

No I'll tell you a big secret.

I have nothing, absolutely nothing,
against a girl with a lot of money.

Now, Miss Dorothy Hunter from
what I have seen of her ..

Is just a nice, young lady who happens
to be the richest girl in the world.

Just exactly the qualities that
a man would want in a wife.

Now, wait a minute.

Because she's the richest girl in the
world, it's nothing to hold against her.

That is big of you.

No. But you know.

Every time you hear of a man married
to a rich girl you think he is a mocker.

Now I don't believe in that.
You take my case.

You are married to a rich girl.

No. Of course not.

We drank to Dorothy Hunter and to you.

Now to you.
- No. To us.

To us.

Come on, come on. All of it.
I will do you good.

Oh dear.

Now you take my case.

About this marrying a rich girl.

I'm no hypocrite.
I'll tell you the truth.

Say, am I boring you?
- Certainly not.

Well, in the first place.

I am not the romantic sort.
I don't believe in love.

Some people fall in love but ..

I can't.

I guess it is just not in my nature.

You too?

It's possible I may get married someday.

You know how those things are.

And who will I marry?
- I don't know.

Some nice girl. That is who.

Whom.

No. Who.

Some nice girl. That's who.

I'll get to know here and I'll be
able to talk to her. You know.

Like a pal. Like this.

Like we are talking.
- Yes.

Certainly.

And then, if I feel like it.

We'll get married.

Now.

If she happens to have a lot of money
do you think I will run away from her?

Not me.

I am practical.

I hope she has a lot of money.
Now what do you think of that?

Well, at least you are frank about it.
- Because I am honest about it.

Say, I wouldn't marry the
richest girl in the world.

Miss Dorothy Hunter.

If I didn't want to marry
her without her money too.

But, just because she is so rich, say ..

Do you think that would stop
me from marrying her?

No.

I guess I'm talking too much.
- Oh, no you're not.

Just one more dose, huh?
Then we'll never have another cold.

You are perfectly right.

You don't know how right you are.
- Oh yes I do.

You know what?

I am going to see a lot of you. I am
going to invite you over all the time.

Maybe you and Dorothy
could sort-of get together.

With Dorothy Hunter?
Don't be ridiculous.

If you say that you hold
her money against her.

No I'm not.

You say one thing but mean
another. You're a hypocrite.

Didn't you say she was a nice girl?
- Certainly she is.

Didn't you say if you liked a nice girl
you'd marry her even if she were rich?

Certainly I would.
- Then don't back out.

I am drinking, Tony.

To your marrying the
richest girl in the world.

You are drunk, baby.

I'm going to rest a second.

Me too.

For just a minute.

Mr Franey, sir.
- Show him in.

How do you do, Mr Connors?
- How do you do.

Sit down.
- Thank you, sir.

Well, out with it.
- Yes, sir.

Anthony Travers, 28.

His father is Michael A Travers.
Civil engineer.

Now engaged at Boulder Dam.

His mother is Ann Collins.

Of a Boston family.

He has two brothers, one sister.

His sister is married to
a Boston physician.

The boy works in the brokerage
offices of J.B. Lauder and Company.

He paid income tax last year $5,500.

He lives at home.

He graduated with an M.A. from Yale.

Average marks.

And he rode on the freshman troop.

All I could find out from
his insurance record ..

Was that he had the normal troubles.

Chicken pox, whooping cough and measles.

And he seems to have had
his tonsils take out twice.

Twice?
- Yes, sir.

During the past year he kept company.

With Sissy Evans a showgirl
for a few months.

And Edith Gerald.

A librarian at the 42nd Street Library.

And a Miss Muriel Donaldson.

An attorney's daughter.

But he hasn't seen any of them lately.

He got into a little trouble once.

Over a reckless driving charge
while he was still in Yale.

And spent the night in jail.

And during a Yale/Harvard game he seems
to have jumped on to a policeman.

But he got off with a
suspended sentence.

And that is about all.

He seems to have led a pretty full life.

About average.

Thank you, Jimmy.
- Yes, sir.

Good day.

Goodbye, Jimmy.
- So long.

Well, it looks like he passes.

All except having his tonsils out twice.

I must look into that.

The important thing is.

Does she like him?
- You know what I really think, John?

I think this at last is the one.

I hope so.

I hope so too but we've
said it so many times.

The opera singer. The Count.

And then that French fellow.

What was his name?

I've never said it before.

All those other were ones you wanted.
This one she wants.

But he doesn't even know who she is.
He thinks she is you or you are she.

I'd better tell him.
- Oh no. Don't you dare do that.

It will help the romance.

I know it will.

Now, remember.

After being pretty far gone over you I
met her and found out who she was.

And I couldn't help thinking.

What a helpful little wife
she would make some man.

Philip, you would have
married her for her money.

I don't hold her money against her.

That is just exactly why Dorothy
and I are going to keep this up.

Keep what up?

A little plan we have.

What sort of a plan?

You won't be angry now?

I don't know yet.

What is the plan?

Well, it is her idea this.

You'll have to promise to let
me do it or I won't tell you.

Sylvia, what is all this nonsense?
- It isn't nonsense.

Dorothy has promised him that ..

Now you really mustn't be angry.

She has promised him that she will
try got get him married to me.

What?
- Wait a minute.

He likes her and she
likes him. I know that.

Only just now, he is a little enamoured
of the richest girl in the world.

You should be able to
understand that, dear.

Anyway, she wants to find out if there's
one man in the world who really likes ..

Just Dorothy.

So she is trying to push him to you?
- Yes. That is the idea.

She wants him to be with me and give
him a chance to fall in love with me.

And if he does, then he
isn't the one either.

It will never work.

It will just break her heart because
the boy will fall in love with you.

I'm afraid it is too late, Jonathan.

Every girl wants to know if the man she
picked out is really in love with her.

Yes, but he is only human.
She is giving him too hard a test.

You also are an attractive young lady.

In his eyes you're the
richest girl in the world.

That's her standard.

He'll have to overcome everything
or he can't have her.

You two can do all the debating
you want but I won't allow it.

John is right. Of course he'll want to
marry you. He'd be a fool not to.

I certainly do not intend to allow
a strange man to paw my wife.

Just for the sake of some
hare-brained experiment.

And that is final.

Philip, I want to do it.

And I forbid you to do it.

Isn't it lovely?

I'm having it made in white and
pink and blue and yellow.

I think it will be marvelous in yellow.

I've been buying clothes all day.
You know I haven't a thing to wear.

Aren't you getting dressed?
We leave at eight.

We must have nearly two hours yet.
- But my goodness, what is two hours?

He is talking to her.

What is he saying?

I am very poor at lip reading.

Let's dance over.

May I cut in?

I give her up resultantly.

How did you do?

So-so.

I told her I liked wire-haired
terriers just like you told me.

And what did she say?
- She said, 'Do you really'?

'Well, I am just crazy
about them myself'.

There you are. A common interest.

You like the same kind of dogs.
You are doing fine.

What are you doing tomorrow night?
- Doing?

Oh, nothing.

Can I see you?

Dinner, moon, picture?
- You mean with Dorothy?

Did I mention Dorothy?

Don't be foolish. She won't like that.

She won't, huh?

I couldn't afford the campaign
to get a girl like that.

What do you mean?

Here for instance.

Twelve dollars for a steak.

They will charge that to Miss Hunter.

You know, to romance a girl
like that would cost a fortune.

Isn't it worth it?

If you hit the bell it would be.

But I've only got $1,800 to my name.

And that probably wouldn't even
give us two square meals here.

Say, how about tomorrow night?

Tell me.

I've got an idea.

Two brandy's please.

Well. What is your big idea?

I think I can scrape together $1,800.

I think I can and then we
can go into partnership.

Doing what, dancing?
- I hear a lot of stock tips.

You know, from Connors. I can tell
you and we can make a lot of money.

You might get fired.

Dorothy won't care. I know she won't.
Anyway, it doesn't cost her anything.

We could make a barrel of money.
- Uhuh.

Then you could carry on your campaign.

Are you starting that again?

I am only interested in
the money. That's all.

But it seems a shame for you to
miss a chance with a girl like that.

When I know she likes you.
- She does?

Certainly. I told you that.
- No you didn't.

What did she say?
- She said you were grand.

I thought I told you.
- You never said a word about it.

She said that?
- Uhuh.

Say, maybe something will come of this.

Maybe. But I am beginning to doubt it.

It is ridiculous, preposterous.

We don't speculate in stocks.
We own the companies.

But I told you why I wanted it done.

Dorothy, please.

There is nothing I wouldn't
let you indulge yourself in.

You know I don't mind making this young
man a present of a few thousand dollars.

But aren't you taking a chance of
losing him by throwing him at Sylvia?

I have to take that chance.

He has indicated that
he prefers your company.

Because he feels he can't have her.

I want him to think he can have
Dorothy Hunter. That he is sure he can.

And then want me.

The odds are against the boy.

I am in too deep, John.

I wish I hadn't started this thing
but now I have to find out.

All my life I'd feel that ..

Maybe he liked her better.
That I was second choice.

I couldn't stand that.

What stock will I tell him, John?

Dorothy, if you'd been in love ..
- What stock, John?

We have been negotiating secretly.

For several weeks.

Of course, we are still
far from a decision.

At first sight, to merge an aviation
company like Condor with our railway ..

Might be most advantageous.

Of course, gentlemen.

I cannot stress too much the importance
of secrecy in this transaction.

Wall Street mustn't hear of it.

I trust you gentlemen.

Well Tony. Goodnight.
- Alright. Goodnight.

Are you playing tennis in the morning?
- If it's not too early.

I don't believe in that old adage
'late to bed and early to rise'.

Goodnight.

Say, Sylvia.
- Yes?

I think you picked the right horse.

What do you mean?

As we got out of the car I kissed her.

I saw it.
- You did?

You fox.

You know, it's not the first time.

You are doing fine.

Or are you?
- Am I what?

Well. What is next?

Are you going to spend the
whole $8,000 chasing her?

Half of it is yours.

Don't you want your share yet?

Keep holding it.

What will you do about Dorothy?

What do you expect? Propose to her?

What do you intend to do, live in sin?
- I've only known her two weeks.

The important thing is how
do you feel about her?

Do you like her enough
to take the big jump?

Marry her?
- Why not?

Well, you know I have always liked her.

Then why don't you ask her?

It sounds kind-of silly.

We're going to the Adirondacks Lodge
for the weekend. Are you coming along?

Oh, sure.

Well, you will have your chance there.

One way or the other.

Goodnight.
- Goodnight.

Goodnight.

Mr Travers, please.

Hello, Mr Travers. This is Freddie.

I am fine, thank you.

Everybody left this morning.

There's been a rainstorm and Mr Connors
was afraid the roads would be dangerous.

So if you tell me when to pick you
up I'll drive you down myself.

Pick up my bags at home, Jim. And ..

And get me here at about 4 o'clock.

Is that alright?

4 o'clock?

That is fine.

Will you give me that
address again please.

Yes.

Yes. I know where that is.

Yes.

Now, I had better take that number down.

Just a moment, please.

Come on, Jim.

Phew.

It ain't fit to be out
for man nor beast.

It is rather wet, sir.

Well.

Where is everybody?

Eating?

There is no-one here, sir.
- No-on here?

You are the first, sir.

That's funny. They must
have had an accident.

I don't think so, sir.

The rain has probably delayed them.

Mr Connors is very careful.
- Yeah.

Can I get you something to drink, sir?
- You certainly can.

It's an excellent hot punch, sir.
- Hot punch?

It's a favorite recipe of Mr Connors.

Marvelous. I'll take three quarts.

Dinner is ready sir, when you are.

You have never seen anyone
so ready in your life.

Very good, sir.

[ Telephone ]

Hello?

Yes, sir. Yes, Mr Connors?

Yes. Mr Travers is here.

I'll get him, sir.

Mr Connors, sir.
- Thank you.

Hello?

Yes. Hello John.

Where are you?

We are 50 miles from you.

How did you ever get through that rain?

Oh well. I think it is
dangerous for Dorothy.

We'll be there early tomorrow.

Oh.

Oh, alright.

Goodnight.

Goodnight, son.

[ Car horn ]

Hello, Jones. How have you been?

It is terrible out.

Sylvia.
- Hello.

I thought you weren't coming.
- Why?

Connors called to say you were 50 miles
away and won't be here until tomorrow.

Well, aren't they here?
- Why no.

I came up alone. I had an
appointment with the dentist.

We needed two cars anyway
so I just started a little later.

That's great.
- Thanks.

You know, I was getting the creeps
listening to the wolves howling outside.

Oh, there aren't any wolves here.

Oh yes there are.

And right over here is the
stuff that will lick them.

Careful now. I've had a
quart of this. It is Potent.

And deceptive.

To Dorothy Hunter.
- No.

To Sylvia.

To me?
- Yes. To you.

Well.

Dinner, young lady.
And I'll consider you a fit woman.

For the lady of the house.
- But I am not ..

You're the lady of the house tonight.

That is the best soup you ever tasted.
It's a great chaser for this punch.

Good, huh?

I am stuffed.

Up, young lady.

Can you imagine spending
a night in this place alone?

I did once. It scared me to death.

A cigarette?
- No thanks.

Can I get you anything else, madam?
- Everything is fine, Jones. Goodnight.

Goodnight, Miss. Goodnight, sir.
- Goodnight.

Where was Moses when
the lights went out?

In the dark.

Beautiful, isn't it?

It's supposed to be the most
beautiful color in the world.

Did you ever hear about the story
of Moses and the burning coal?

Uhuh.
- I'll tell it to you.

It's a swell story. The truth too.

I learned it in Sunday school.

It seems that when Pharaoh's daughter ..

Brought Moses to her father.

She said 'Pop'.

'Look what I found in the bulrushes'.

The old man just turned the
kid over to his cabinet.

In those days the cabinet was
made up of a lot of magicians ..

Who did card tricks for the king.

Well, the cabinet liked the kid fine.

All except one old boy.

He was the prime minister.

He said 'Kingy'.

'That kid is going to
get you in trouble'.

'He is going to steal your crown away'.

And the king said: 'what'?

'Such a little baby'?

'Why, he couldn't even lift it'.

Say, are you listening?

Such a little baby?
He couldn't even lift it.

That's right.

So they explained that the baby would
grow up to be a big Moses someday.

And he'd take the king's crown away.

The king said 'nope'.
He didn't believe it.

So the prime minister said
'I tell you what we'll do'.

'We'll give the kid all the best of it'.

'We'll put him in a dark room'.

'With a glowing lump of
coal and your crown'.

Now, a glowing lump of
coal in a dark room.

Is the most beautiful
thing in the world.

Except you.

'So we see whether the baby reaches for
your crown or the glowing lump of coal'.

So the king said: 'Okay'.

Good story, huh?

What happened?
- I am coming to that.

So the baby took a look
at the lump of coal.

Which was pretty alright.

But then he took a look
at the gold crown.

And he probably said to himself, well ..

'Coal is selling for only
fourteen dollars a ton'.

'Maybe I had better
take that gold crown'.

So he put out his hand for it.

And just as he was about to touch it.

An angel who had been
sent to watch over Moses.

Pushed his little hand and
he touched the burning coal.

And of course he got burned so he
put his hand quickly to his mouth.

And that's why Moses lisped
all the rest of his life.

No. That is really true. His brother
did all his talking for him later on.

I wonder if you can
get burned doing that.

You can.

And the day the teacher told us that
story I got thrown out of Sunday school.

Why?

Well, I said: is that a true story?

And she said, of course.

And I said, well that is funny.

I wonder where they found
a piece of coal in Egypt.

Oh you ..

Don't do that.
- Why not?

I don't want you to.
- Oh, yes you do.

Aren't you conceited.

You are sweet, Sylvia.

It isn't fair to Dorothy.

It's you I want.

Do you?
- Honestly.

But you came here to
ask her to marry you.

I don't care.

She wouldn't have me anyway.

Please.
- Sylvia.

Sylvia.

And then?

And then he kissed me.

And then?

And said, it isn't fair to Dorothy,
and he said, it is you I want.

And I said, but you came
here to ask her to marry you.

And he said?

And he said 'I don't care'
and he kissed me again.

Well, you can't ask for more than that.

But that isn't all.

He said 'I don't care' and
he kissed me, but ..

As he kissed me .. he said ..

'She would never have me'.

I am sorry, Dorothy.
But I'm not disappointed in him.

You made it awfully difficult.

After all he did say, it's you I want.

And frankly I never thought he would.

'She would never have me'.

Do you realize Dorothy that here is a
young man who has some sort of chance ..

To marry a girl he thinks is
the richest in the world.

And he gives that up for her secretary.

Because he thinks he can't
have the richest girl.

What difference does that make?

All the difference in world, John.

Dorothy, you can't expect
a normal young man ..

Not to want to marry an
attractive young woman ..

Whose society he enjoys and who he
thinks is the richest girl in the world.

There are limits to everything.

I beg of you. If you really love him ..

Don't break your own heart.

Because you will.
- You don't know how I love him, John.

There is no moment asleep or awake that
he doesn't crowd out all my thoughts.

I can't think about anything else.

Why, I can't put him out of my
mind no matter how hard I try.

Then take him, Dorothy.

If I only loved him less.

I would run to him as his
second choice and be grateful.

I would go on my hands and knees, John.

But I love him so much that I want him
to come to me as I would to him.

I know my child, but ..

[ Door knocks ]

When are you coming down?

Oh, John.

Hurry up, John.

Come right in.

Excuse me, Mr Connors.

I was leaving, son.
You are not chasing me.

What is the program, Tony?
There is good fishing up here.

If you like fish.

Sylvia, I want to talk to
you about last night.

Let's not, Tony.

I am apologising.

Well, you needn't.

Let's just imagine it didn't happen
and then we don't have to discuss it.

I think we had better.

Or it will always stand between us.
I was up all night thinking about it.

You know, Sylvia.

I never imagined I could
feel this way about a girl.

I consider you my closest friend.

You know, it is a rather an unusual
relationship between a man and a woman.

Yes. It is.

I'd rather have anything
in the world happen to me ..

Than lose that relationship.

Thank you, Tony.

Sylvia, it means more
than just being friends.

Don't let's spoil it. I want to
know you for a long time and ..

And anything you say now will always be
between us if you marry friend of mine.

Aren't we overdoing this? You don't
really think Dorothy would marry me?

She said she might.

Are you serious?

She has spoken to me.
I think if you were to ask her ..

You are not joking?
- No.

Well, can you beat that kid?

I never even had a hint from her.

So shy and reserved.

Say, how do you know she would marry me?

Well, I think so.
If you were to ask her.

You know, I might at that.

Tonight.

Well, what will we do?

We might run a picture but those
we have here are a year old.

We could toast marshmallows.
- If we had any marshmallows.

Have we?

The marshmallows are
at the fireplace, Miss.

My favorite food.

Don't any of you people
like marshmallows?

I can't stand them. When I was a baby
I was frightened by a marshmallow.

The same here. We must be twins.
- The bones get in my teeth.

Well Tony, we toast alone.

You don't know what you are missing.

Do you?

Pinochle, Jonathan?
- Yes. Alright, Sylvia.

There you are. Now.

How would you like yours?
- Medium, rare.

Where was Moses when
the lights went out?

In the dark.

You are too emotionally upset
to be a fair judge, Dorothy.

You are not giving him an even chance.

You didn't even let him
choose between you.

You persuaded him to keep after Sylvia.

She's had all the advantages
and still he prefers you.

Let him find that out for himself.
- Yes.

But you told him he could marry her.

That was unfair.

He won't ask her.

If he does, you'll remember it forever.

He won't ask her though.

We beg you.

Walk in there and stop it now.

Dorothy, John is right.
He might ask her.

Now come along.
There will be no more tests.

Go on in, please.

What do you think has happened? Guess.

I've been accepted. I have
proposed and I've been accepted.

Have you really?

Congratulations.

Thanks. I didn't think I
had a chance in a million.

I never had a hint from her.

She is going to be some wife.

I'll never know what
she's thinking about.

What is the matter with her?

She is not feeling well.

Too bad.

Well. How about drinking to something?

I am awfully tired, Tony.

You will have to excuse me.

This has been a big day in your life.

Yes. I guess it has.

Goodnight.

Goodnight, Dorothy.
- Goodnight.

Well, how about you, Philip?

I can hardly keep awake myself.

A big day tomorrow you know.

Goodnight, Dorothy.

Goodnight, Tony.
- Goodnight.

Goodnight, Philip.

Well, young lady.

You look a bit tired yourself.

You know, I've got to start bossing you
around so you will be broken-in right.

Well, I am a little tired.

Well, upstairs with you.

Well, what will we do tomorrow?

Have breakfast.
- No. After breakfast.

Wait for lunch.

And after lunch we will wait for dinner.

Well, that is certainly a big day.

If it isn't raining we could go boating.

Not boating. Canoeing.

Do you remember that first canoe ride?

The first day I met you.
And you had to swim home.

Yes. I am afraid I do remember.

Well goodnight, Tony.

Goodnight.

Sleep tight.

I'll try.

Sylvia.

Sylvia.

Are you sleeping.

What is it, Tony?

Let me in. I want to talk to you.

I am awfully tired.

Oh. I am sorry.

Sleep tight.

Goodnight.

[ Door knocks ]

Come in.

Breakfast is served, sir.
- Thank you.

Say, would you see if
Miss Hunter is awake?

Give him a day or two.
Maybe he'll want to back out.

You said you would do that.
- I didn't think he would ask you.

Now, he wants to marry you more
than anything in the world.

I don't believe it.
He never once said he loved me.

He can't get over my accepting him.

At least give him a day or two.

It's all over, John. He never
should have asked her.

We will go back to the
city after breakfast.

You will have to keep it up until
then and then he can find out.

[ Door knocks ]

Come in.

Mr Travers asked if
Miss Hunter was awake.

Meaning you, ma'am.

I'm sorry, Sylvia.

But you must put up with it for a
few hours to avoid unpleasantness.

That's alright.

I'd do it for you, darling.

Come on, John. I am dying of hunger.

Good morning. We are leaving.

I'd like you to stay.

And you too.

We are not getting married.

I wouldn't marry you if I were
the last woman in the world.

And I would like a car home please.

You apologise, young man.

Do I get a car or do I have to walk?

Well, I think I am entitled
to an explanation of this.

Your house guests.

They walk in their sleep.

You have no reason to
break your engagement.

I am very funny.

I always break my engagements.

For that reason.

I'll call you in the city, Sylvia.

Don't go.

I am not in the habit of
telling people but ..

I spent last night in this room.

You might apologise to your fianc�e.

I am terribly sorry. I ..

I didn't ..

I haven't even pity for you.

I tried to understand.

When you wanted him to choose you over
the girl he thought was Dorothy Hunter.

That was unreasonable enough.
But this ..

To give a man that obstacle to overcome.

Who do you think you are?

You are only a woman. Just flesh
and blood like everybody else.

What makes you think
you are so desirable?

I had to do it.

I had to.
- Why?

Well, he would still have come
to me as second choice.

You needn't be afraid now.

Well, I don't need him.
I don't need anyone.

Maybe you are right.

No man in the world might
want a woman that much.

Then no-one would have me.

Eggs, Miss Dorothy?

The same.
- The same.

We are leaving after breakfast.

Good morning. Good morning.
Good morning.

I am just dying of hunger.

And how are the lovely
ladies this morning?

You don't mind do you?
You are not married yet you know.

Well, Miss Sylvia.
Did you sleep well last night?

And you? I know you did.

Oh, what a day. It is just glorious.

And which young lady is coming
buggy riding this morning, eh?

Eggs bacon and ham
and in large quantities.

Yes, sir.

And which young lady is just dying
to go for a little buggy ride?

Come, come.

Up hill and down dale in a merry
little horse and carriage, eh?

By heavens.

Have I no takers?

That is for nothing. You get your coat.

You are getting out of here. Any more
objections and I'll wreck this place.

You're nothing but a pack
of cheap crawling parasites.

Your money is as dirty as you are.

She's stolen $8,000 from
you giving me stock tips.

I'll give you the money back tomorrow.

Now, you are fired.
Get out of this house.

I will not.

I don't think you are worth saving.

But if you have one shred of
decency left in you I'll find it.

Or I will beat it into you.

Now get up .. get up!

Don't you talk to me like that.

What are you doing? John, John!

Put me down this minute. Stop it.

I think you have gone crazy. John.

John, Jim! Do you hear me? Stop him.

John.

He is locking her in the car.

Isn't that funny.

Hilarious.

Oh, my poor darling.

She got the license under
the name of 'Sylvia Lockwood'.

But I found that is legal.

What arrangements have you made?

They are going to Paris.

They only had money enough
for a second-class ticket.

I know that.

So, whatever I did for them.

I had to do for the whole second class.

Four hundred people.

What did you do?

Well.

I took the four chefs you sent me and ..

And the special drinking water and ..

Dr Morrow was on board and ..

I shipped to the captain of
the Atlantis, the boat, and ..

I had special linen put
in for everybody and ..

Entirely new table services.

And had Paul Whiteman give me a few
of the boys for a string orchestra.

And a few other little things like that.

What are you going to wear tonight?
- What do you want me to wear?

That tight satin dress. You know it.

The one with the buttons up the back.

l can't.

Why can't you?
- Need help.

What do you think husbands are for?

Come on.
- We've got two hours yet.

It may take longer than you think.

..t-g..
