- 1:41 How are you, darling? It's gone.
- 1:43 It comes and it goes. Oh, how annoying. Believe me, it's of no importance.
- 1:47 And yet it makes you so nervous.
- 1:48 I can only tell you what the doctor said, to forget it and not to worry. Well, I'd worry. Dr. Vanguard, I repeat it, Dr. Vanguard is the man for you. Don't let's go into that again. I will not be psychoanalyzed. Oh, now, Jill, that's a very middle-class attitude. I'm a perfectly normal woman. Well, that sounds awfully dull. My dear, you mustn't say that about yourself, not even in fun. Seriously, Jill, go to Dr. Vanguard.
- 2:09 He certainly did wonders for Molly McLean. Do you know she was suffering so from claustrophobia she couldn't ride in an elevator?
- 2:14 Can you imagine what that means to a woman living in a penthouse? And Dr. Vanguard killed her? Well, he must have. I read the other day in Winchell's column she ran away with an elevator boy. Molly McClane?
- 2:27 My name is Mrs Baker I know Mrs. Tallings phone me will you please be seated.
- 2:41 Mrs.
- 2:41 Baker.
- 2:43 Your first name? Jill.
- 2:45 Jill.
- 2:46 Baker. 685 Park Avenue. 685...
- 2:51 Park Avenue.
- 2:53 Your age, Mrs. Baker?
- 2:57 Twenty-two.
- 3:00 I'm your doctor, Mrs. Baker.
- 3:12 Doctor, I want to be frank with you. I'm absolutely certain there's nothing really wrong with me.
- 3:16 I'm sure you'll feel differently when you leave this office.
- 3:20 You see, most people know nothing about themselves.
- 3:23 Nothing.

- 3:24 Their own real personality is a complete stranger to them.
- 3:28 now
- 3:29 What I'm trying to do is to introduce you to your inner self. I want you to get acquainted with yourself.
- 3:34 Wouldn't you like to meet you? No.
- 3:36 You see, I'm a little shy. All right. What seems to be the trockton?
- 3:41 Well,
- 3:41 It's difficult to show you the symptoms at the moment because...
- 3:45 It comes and it goes.
- 3:47 Oh.
- 3:49 It comes and...
- 3:51 It goes...
- 3:52 Yes, it's so unfortunate. It's always the same whenever I see a doctor. When...
- 3:57 When I come, it goes. And when I go, it comes.
- 4:01 Mrs. Baker.
- 4:02 Whatever comes and whatever goes,
- 4:05 There's no denying it worries you a lot.
- 4:07 So please drop all your inhibitions, release your inner self,
- 4:11 and speak freely.
- 4:13 What comes and what goes.
- 4:16 Hiccups.
- 4:17 - Hiccups? - Yes. Whenever I get nervous or irritated, I get the hiccups. It's rather unpleasant and...
- 4:24 Sometimes very uncomfortable. Well, naturally, it's a little early to make any diagnosis. But you're apparently getting these hiccups because of a nervous condition.
- 4:32 Let's find out what causes that condition. Sounds plausible. Thank you. Would you mind stepping into the next room?
- 4:44 Uh-huh. Well, there's nothing unusual in your childhood.
- 4:48 let us examine your present life let us look at it through a magnifying glass let us examine every detail
- 4:54 Mrs. Baker, you're married, aren't you? Yes. When did you get married? When I was 19. How long have you been married? For six years. To the same husband? Yes.
- 5:03 Ah-ha. Doctor, please believe me, there's nothing wrong with my marriage. You could go through All Park Avenue and you wouldn't find a happier couple. Well, I'm sorry, but it's my duty to explore every avenue.
- 5:12 especially Park Avenue.
- 5:14 How old is your husband? 35. His business? He's vice president of an insurance company. But will you please leave my marriage alone? You will very well. Just relax.
- 5:21 We'll talk about something entirely different.
- 5:24 Do you suffer from headaches?
- 5:25 No.
- 5:26 How was your appetite? Good.
- 5:29 How do you sleep?
- 5:30 Frankly, not so well.
- 5:32 How does your husband sleep?
- 5:34 Very well.
- 5:35 Uh-huh.
- 5:37 Now, during one of these sleepless nights, when you wriggle around restlessly...
- 5:41 And you look to your right, what do you see?
- 5:44 My dressing table. And when you look to your left, what do you see?
- 5:47 My husband.
- 5:47 Sleeping yes, uh-huh.
- 5:50 What are you trying to do? Break up my marriage? No.
- 6:05 No.
- 6:06 But I must admit he breathes rather heavily. Oh, he does.
- 6:09 I don't think there's anything I can do about it. After all, he has to breathe. I suppose so.
- 6:13 Well, Mrs. Baker,
- 6:15 I'm afraid your husband's ability to sleep is too big a challenge for you.
- 6:18 It's rather like...
- 6:20 will
- 6:21 Have you ever been on a diet? Yes, a vegetable diet. Well, how would you feel if you had to struggle with a few raw carrots and have someone next to you eat a big juicy steak? With a large baked banana? Yes. My husband, two weeks ago. Well, didn't he make you nervous? No.
- 6:34 Now that you mention it...
- 6:36 Now that I think of it, it is rather irritating. And not very considerate. No, it isn't.
- 6:40 After all, husbands expect their wives to keep their figures, but on the other hand... I would call it a complete lack of cooperation. It is.
- 6:45 Uh-huh.
- 6:47 Oh!
- 6:51 Hello, Margie. Why haven't I heard from you? How are you, dear? All right. Anything wrong?
- 7:04 Oh, Margie, you shouldn't have sent me to that Dr. Vanguard. Did you go back to him? No, and I won't. He's not going to break up my marriage. There's nothing wrong between Mary and me. That's what I say.
- 7:13 Are people talking about us? They wouldn't dare in my presence. They know you and I are close friends. And I always defend you. I know, dear. Defend me against what? Well, now, after all, town and country called you the happy bakers. That's kind of sticking out your chin. Well, how many of our friends have stayed married for six years? Why shouldn't they call us the happy bakers? Well, why not?
- 7:32 Your name is Baker, isn't it? Oh, Margie. I've been perfectly miserable for the last two weeks. I'm so marriage conscious. Whatever I look at, whatever I think of, I always find myself connecting it with my marriage. How I hate that vanguard. Yet if I'm honest, I must admit. What, dear?
- 7:50 Well, if a wife looks at her husband through a magnifying glass, she's bound to see something. Yes, I should think so.
- 7:55 Things I was never aware of before. Things I never noticed. For instance? Well, it's just an illustration, but like the other morning. You know how difficult it is for me to fall asleep. Well, finally, when I'm lucky enough to drop off.
- 8:08 Promptly at 8:15, what do I wake up to?
- 8:11 A gargle. A gargle. That's the bugle call of marriage. Gargle is reveille, snore is taps. And what is there between?
- 8:20 At nine o'clock in the morning, he goes out of my life. Oh, my dear, isn't it the truth? Oh, I don't know what's the truth anymore. I'm completely confused. I'm so uncertain. I've always heard that the ideal marriage should be something of a mystery.
- 8:34 Your husband should remain a kind of stranger to you. Someone whose acquaintance you'd like to renew every day.
- 8:40 You know what I mean? Yes, dear.
- 8:44 Well?
- 8:47 Well, Margie. Hello, Larry. Hello, darling. Hello.
- 8:52 How are you? Fine. And you? OK. Have a good day? Yes. And you? Good. Anything new? No. With you? Nothing. Good.
- 9:00 I'll see you later.
- 9:05 Well, what could he say? Why, of course, dear, there was nothing new and he frankly admitted it. Jill!
- 9:13 Yes, darling. Are the Coopers coming to dinner? I don't know yet, darling. I'll let you know as soon as they phone. I wish you would, because if they're coming, I'll have to shave. All right, darling, I...
- 9:24 Now, I don't want to cause any trouble.
- 9:26 But cold facts are cold facts.
- 9:29 If Mr. and Mrs. Cooper come, that big, awful-looking Mrs. Cooper,
- 9:33 He shaves. And if he has dinner alone with his wife, he doesn't shave. And if anybody should shave, it's Mrs. Cooper.
- 9:38 I spent three and a half hours today at Elizabeth Arden's, but I don't rate a shave. My dear, that's the trouble with 95% of all marriages. Husbands don't shave.
- 9:47 Don't men realize that a beard doesn't stop growing at 8 o'clock?
- 9:50 Look!
- 9:52 uh...
- 9:56 All right.
- 10:07 Barry.
- 10:08 Yes, sir.
- 10:09 They're back.
- 10:10 Fine, have a good trip.
- 10:12 Hmm.
- 10:13 The Airmen's.
- 10:14 with you.
- 10:14 Say, that reminds me. That son of a gun promised to call me as soon as he got back. I'll bet Continental's after him by his annuity.
- 10:20 The Evans are still in Bermuda.
- 10:22 The hiccups are back.
- 10:24 Huh?
- 10:25 Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. The joke's on me, huh? Oh, that was very cute. Kick.
- 10:43 Larry.
- 10:45 When you came in just now you asked me if there was anything new. Oh say there was something new.
- 10:49 And something very important, too.
- 10:51 You know who's coming to dinner a week from Thursday?
- 10:53 the president of Universal Mattress and the president and secretary treasurer of United Furniture and some other high executives of both companies.
- 11:00 Oh, good grief.
- 11:01 I
- 11:02 Oh, I know it's going to be one of those nights, but Universal Mattress and United Furniture have merged.
- 11:08 They're reshuffling their entire insurance account.
- 11:10 Now the tough man to crack is Kafka, Universal Mattress.
- 11:14 I've done a little detective work.
- 11:16 is Hungarian.
- 11:17 As a matter of fact, they're all Hungarian. So let's give the dinner a kind of...
- 11:21 Hungarian touch, huh? Now, look, Larry. Oh, now, listen, darling. I didn't expect you to behave like a gypsy, but...
- 11:26 Let's hire a Hungarian cook and make him a wonderful goulash.
- 11:29 Kafka will love it. I'm going to get that insurance account if I have to stuff that Hungarian like one of his own mattresses.
- 11:36 Oh, and to make him feel really at home.
- 11:39 Our foreign division manager tipped me out. Just before they start to eat, you say...
- 11:44 egg-ish, egg-ish,
- 11:46 I guess shit.
- 11:48 Eggishigara.
- 11:50 It gets checkered.
- 11:52 It means to your health or something like that.
- 11:55 Egg sugar. Mm-hmm.
- 11:57 Oh, it's just a little thing, but you know how it is. Success in business is 50% hard work and 50% the right cigar.
- 12:06 Hey, guess you're right
- 12:08 That's great, darling. Swell. Only a little more cheerful, you know.
- 12:13 Eggie Shaker.
- 12:14 Oh, you mean, that's it. That's it. That's great, darling. Thanks.
- 12:23 - Okay.
- 12:27 Larry. Hmm?
- 12:30 Why'd you do that? Do what?
- 12:32 Keeks.
- 12:34 Why?
- 12:36 I always do that. Why?
- 12:39 - Whoa.
- 12:40 Why does one do things?
- 12:42 But when you do it, what does it mean?
- 12:44 Is there some underlying thought?
- 12:47 I don't know. I never tried.
- 12:50 But you do to me.
- 12:52 Well, you're my wife.
- 12:53 And that gives you the right to poke me in the stomach whenever you want to.
- 12:58 Darling, don't you feel well? Fine.
- 13:09 Larry...
- 13:10 Please don't keeks me anymore.
- 13:16 Hooray!
- 14:14 Amen.
- 14:17 Move!
- 14:19 Mm-hmm.
- 14:23 Amen.
- 14:33 Oh, no.
- 14:36 for it.
- 14:45 That was not the dog, that was me.
- 14:47 Oh, my God.
- 14:54 *crash*
- 14:56 Shh!
- 15:06 How do you do? How do you do? You've been back. Your doctor Vengard will be a little bit late. I hope you don't mind.
- 15:31 ugly
- 15:33 Lovely.
- 15:36 Aren't they ugly? Who? People.
- 15:42 Is there anything uglier than a human face? Ah!
- 15:52 You mind if I smoke? Not at all.
- 15:55 Smoke yourself.
- 15:57 Yes?
- 15:59 Amen.
- 16:02 You haven't got a cigarette, eh?
- 16:05 Yes.
- 16:13 Haven't any without tips.
- 16:15 Unfortunately not. Exactly.
- 16:23 Fui.
- 16:29 Change my mind, I'll have a cigarette.
- 16:39 Have you seen this doctor before? Yes.
- 16:43 I must be charged. I really don't know. I have not oh you didn't have to
- 16:50 Dr. Vanguard just phoned. He'll be detained at least another half hour.
- 16:53 Another half hour. Well, we have two alternatives. We can read a magazine or we can talk.
- 17:00 This is a lovely day, isn't it? Yes. Yes, well, that takes care of that. Let's forget it.
- 17:04 Do I bore you? No, on the contrary. Let me warn you that I say what I think. I'm a complete individualist. Really? I'm against communism, capitalism, fascism, Nazism. I'm against everything and everybody.
- 17:14 I hate my fellow man and he hates me. Sounds rather amusing.
- 17:19 So I amuse you.
- 17:21 McClown, eh? Pagliacci.
- 17:23 Oh, no, I didn't say that. All right, don't apologize.
- 17:26 Is, uh, Ben God a good doctor? I'm sure he'll do you a lot of good.
- 17:30 Why do you say that? What's wrong with me?
- 17:34 I really wouldn't know. After all, I'm not the psychoanalyst.
- 17:38 What's wrong with you?
- 17:41 Nothing
- 17:42 Why you here?
- 17:43 You don't go to a psychoanalyst to have a tooth filled. So what's wrong?
- 17:47 I think we'd better read magazines. All right.
- 17:59 I'm done.
- 18:19 because
- 18:21 I hate to bother you again.
- 18:23 But what does one have to do to be happy? I think Dr. Vanguard would know more about that than I...
- 18:29 More than you.
- 18:30 Mrs. Baker
- 18:38 That article. You know, Mrs. Baker, this is the first time in my life I've ever met a really happy person.
- 18:44 It seems to irritate you. No, no. It makes me curious.
- 18:47 I've often wondered what it would be like to be happy 24 hours a day.
- 18:51 Must be wonderful. One gets used to it. Uh-huh.
- 18:54 In the morning, you are awakened by the twitter of a little bird.
- 18:57 Before breakfast, you and Mr. Baker dance a minuet...
- 19:00 Then the happy breakfast. I
- 19:02 You are happy.
- 19:03 Mr. Baker is happy.
- 19:05 The eggs are happy.
- 19:06 The hens who laid the eggs are happy.
- 19:08 Now look here my present seems to annoy you so I think I'll leave no, I'm sorry miss Baker But if you feel that way naturally it is I who'll go. Oh, no, I'm afraid you need the doctor more than I I
- 19:19 Are you sure, Mrs. Baker?
- 19:21 You see, that's an interesting question. We're both here for the same reason, happiness.
- 19:26 One has not enough?
- 19:27 One has too much.
- 19:29 Who needs the Dr. Moore?
- 19:31 Now, that's interesting, isn't it?
- 19:33 Rather, but I don't like to discuss it. Yes, I understand, Miss Baker. Well, I'm very happy to have met you...
- 19:38 I'm very sorry if I've offended you.
- 19:40 Goodbye, Miss V. Goodbye.
- 19:44 Oui.
- 19:47 Oh, just a moment. Yes.
- 19:49 Now, ask you one question. Certainly. Yes.
- 19:54 What's wrong with that picture?
- 19:57 Are you really interested? Yes.
- 19:59 Okay.
- 20:00 Sit down.
- 20:03 This artist saw no more in that tree than the camera which photographed the happy Mrs. Baker.
- 20:10 It's only the surface. Art goes much deeper. You see, if I were a painter and I were to paint you,
- 20:18 I don't know what the picture would look like.
- 20:21 It wouldn't look like that photograph. Do I make sense? Yes.
- 20:28 Quite a bit of sense.
- 20:50 Hello Sebastian hello.
- 20:52 Oh, by the way, my name is Sebastian.
- 20:55 Alexander Sebastian.
- 20:57 And they mean anything to you? Be frank? Well, if you insist, no. It's all right. It's all right. Why should it? Let's look at the pictures.
- 21:08 Number 15.
- 21:12 child with trumpet. I'm not.
- 21:15 No good.
- 21:16 I was afraid it was.
- 21:18 The artist hasn't found himself yet.
- 21:21 When he does find himself, where is he?
- 21:24 Child but trumpet child's all right, but he's missed very badly on the trumpet didn't eat
- 21:31 That won't live
- 21:33 I hope not.
- 21:35 I'm going.
- 21:38 Shit.
- 21:40 That's almost great.
- 21:44 Who painted it? A woman. No man could be so malicious.
- 21:49 26th.
- 21:51 Elena Stroud
- 21:53 Portrait of Alexander Sebastian? No use denying it. That's me.
- 21:58 That woman didn't paint me. She performed an autopsy.
- 22:01 She saw me.
- 22:02 Frankly, the whole thing looks to me like a puzzle.
- 22:05 Huzzle.
- 22:06 That's correct. Good.
- 22:08 I was a puzzle to her, but she was no puzzle to me.
- 22:11 And that's a revenge.
- 22:13 When I first saw that picture, I was terribly upset. I don't blame you.
- 22:22 What do these notes mean? I'm a musician, a pianist.
- 22:26 Oh, a pianist.
- 22:28 And the pedestal here? Well, that, uh, that indicates greatness. Tell me, why didn't she put your statue there? Is there any reason?
- 22:40 There is. You see that little line? You mean this line? That's my whole trouble.
- 22:47 Oh. That line sent me to Dr. Vanguard. Well, you might as well know that I...
- 22:52 I'm inhibited artistically. Let's have a drink. Oh, just a moment. Just a moment.
- 22:57 What about this clock? The clock? Yes. Oh, that never should have been there. Why? Well, I...
- 23:05 That's a personal matter.
- 23:09 Are you sorry that you came here? Oh, no. No, on the contrary.
- 23:14 It's all so fascinating. It's a new world. I can't quite grasp it.
- 23:17 Whatever you want to know about me, just ask me.
- 23:20 That clock shows 12:15. Is it 12:15 by accident or does it mean something?
- 23:26 It means something. Let's stop talking about myself. Let's talk about something else.
- 23:31 When is your next concert?
- 23:33 Yes, when?
- 23:35 When I overcome it,
- 23:36 Overcome what? That little line.
- 23:39 Oh, you mean your inhibition? Yes.
- 23:42 You see, when I play... Tell me, uh... It's, uh, 12.15. Is it noon?
- 23:47 Midnight.
- 23:48 Any particular midnight?
- 23:52 Coming back to my inhibitions.
- 23:54 When I play in a drawing room... Oh, pardon me. Was it Eastern Standard Time?
- 23:59 Daylight savings.
- 24:00 Summer?
- 24:01 Yes.
- 24:03 Well, when I play in a drawing room for just one person...
- 24:07 All right.
- 24:09 I'll be perfectly frank with you. I don't think there's a greater pianist in the world.
- 24:13 But as soon as I get in a concert hall in front of an audience...
- 24:17 Something gets lost.
- 24:18 Those faces staring at me.
- 24:20 What right have they to come in and stare at me? What right have they to listen to me just because I pay two dollars?
- 24:26 Some cases, $2.50.
- 24:27 Why do I bother you with all this? Oh, but I'm glad you did. It's fascinating. You are a puzzle, Mr. Alexander Sebastian.
- 24:34 And don't you try to solve me, Mrs. Happy Baker. Come on.
- 25:03 Mrs. Kropka...
- 25:06 Mr. Januszek?
- 25:08 Mr. Jarvissey.
- 25:11 Mr. Jones? Jones?
- 25:14 How does a foreigner like that get in here tonight?
- 25:16 He's Mr. Baker's lawyer. Oh.
- 25:19 Well, I suppose you always have to have a lawyer with them, Gary.
- 25:22 Yes.
- 25:29 Good evening, sir. Good evening. How's the goulash coming? Fine, Mr. Baker. Did the package arrive for me? Not yet, sir.
- 25:49 Well, darling. Hello, dear.
- 25:51 Anything you know? No. Have a good day. Marvelous.
- 25:56 All set for a big night? All set. Ha ha.
- 25:59 Remember your word?
- 26:00 Eggishigara. Eggishigara. That's it. Good.
- 26:06 What is it?
- 26:07 Your package had a rod, sir. Albert didn't tell me. Oh, fine.
- 26:44 Fui.
- 26:52 I'm Mr. Baker.
- 26:53 Mm-hmm.
- 26:54 May I ask what you're doing here?
- 26:56 Waiting.
- 26:58 Oh, they're waiting.
- 26:59 Tell me, how soon do we have dinner?
- 27:02 dinner.
- 27:03 That's what I was invited for.
- 27:05 Oh, I'm sorry.
- 27:11 Tell me, are you with Universal Mattress or United Furniture?
- 27:15 I'm not with anything.
- 27:17 Oh, playing both sides, huh? Well, it's not such a bad idea. Say, tell me, how do you feel about Mr. Kafka?
- 27:25 indifferent
- 27:26 Huh.
- 27:27 I can tell you nobody's gonna put anything over on him. He's pretty smart. I think it's very clever that they've merged.
- 27:34 Word your will out, won't it?
- 27:40 Yeah
- 27:42 Look.
- 27:43 You want me to enjoy this evening, don't you?
- 27:46 Why, yes, certainly. All right, come here.
- 27:49 This vase insults me. It's ugly.
- 27:52 Let's put it away.
- 27:55 Oh, sure, of course.
- 27:57 The customer's always right.
- 28:00 Anything else in the room you'd like to change?
- 28:02 Lots.
- 28:03 Well, I think we're going to have a very enjoyable evening
- 28:08 I'll let you in a little secret.
- 28:09 We've got goulash.
- 28:11 Goulash. Yeah, goulash.
- 28:13 scrambled eggs for me.
- 28:16 I'm not going to.
- 28:17 Only a suggestion.
- 28:20 Um...
- 28:22 Will you forgive me? I'm a stress.
- 28:24 Just continue to make yourself at home.
- 28:36 Gee, these Hungarians are certainly funny people.
- 28:38 Have they come? One of them has.
- 28:41 Look, dear, aren't we dressing? Why? Why?
- 28:43 Well, he isn't.
- 28:44 Oh, that's Mr. Sebastian.
- 28:47 Who's he with? With? He's against it.
- 28:49 everything.
- 28:50 He's an individualist.
- 28:52 Is he that rich? Well, he doesn't care anything about money.
- 28:56 How do you know? Dear, it's Sebastian. Alexander Sebastian. I told you the other day, but that's the trouble.
- 29:03 You never listen to anything I say. Makes no impression.
- 29:06 Oh, I remember now that piano player. He's not a piano player. He's a pianist.
- 29:11 And pretty soon he'll be very important.
- 29:13 Someday you may be very happy to insure his hands for $100,000. Look, darling, I'm giving this dinner especially for these Hungarians. Thank you.
- 29:20 Could he pay a premium?
- 29:22 I don't know and I don't care. You know, sometimes I don't understand you. Here we've got a $500,000 insurance possibility tonight. I've gone to all this trouble to get up a special Hungarian evening for the president of Universal Mattress. And you invite this piano player. You should know better. Musicians and mattresses don't mix. Look, Larry, for six years I've been living insurance and I'm tired of being an annuity. Okay.
- 29:44 Can't I just myself spend one evening with Rimsky-Korsakov and Stravinsky? Rimsky-Korsakov? Stravinsky? Stravinsky?
- 29:50 Who else is coming?
- 29:52 Why didn't you invite the whole Philharmonic and have them bring Dean Taylor along as commentator? Oh, all right, all right. Let's drop the whole thing. If you don't want him to play, he won't play.
- 30:01 Plank?
- 30:02 Say, that's not a bad idea.
- 30:04 Maybe he could liven up the party, huh? If Mr. Sebastian consents to play, which I doubt, but if he does consent, it won't be Hungarian swing.
- 30:12 Well, what will it be? Something you'd have to pay two and a half dollars to hear.
- 30:17 You mean like Carnegie Hall? Exactly.
- 30:19 Not in my house, not tonight.
- 30:30 Watch this.
- 30:33 Oh, that's a reproduction of a painting I saw in an art gallery.
- 30:38 Do you like that?
- 30:39 Love it.
- 30:41 Well, what is it?
- 30:43 Can't you see?
- 30:44 Now listen, quit kidding me. What is it?
- 30:47 It's a portrait.
- 30:48 A portrait...
- 30:49 Of what?
- 30:51 of a man.
- 30:53 Listen, I know I'm just a poor, ignorant insurance dope, and I don't know anything about Stravinsky.
- 30:57 But we've been married for six years, and I think I've made you a pretty good husband. When I ask you a question, you still ought to do me the courtesy of answering. You don't have to make fun of me.
- 31:09 You know what this is? The Grand Canyon.
- 31:21 Ah, come on. You sit here, Mrs. Kafka. Thank you. And that's why, Mr. Kafka, we're the only company for you. Oh, very reasonable. Let's talk about it after dinner. Yes, indeed. After dinner, we'll have a good long talk. Right here, Mrs. Kafka. All right.
- 31:43 We not even learn great especially not alone. And.
- 31:46 I give you all a barbner.
- 31:48 Except one passage in Tristan. That's really good, but you never hear it played right.
- 31:52 Perhaps someday I could hear you play as it should be played. Perhaps.
- 31:56 I don't eat strawberries. Oh, I'm sorry. All right. All right.
- 32:02 Really, really?
- 32:05 What?
- 32:15 Everything all right, Mr. Kalker? Mm-hmm. Good.
- 32:25 Ege Shegera.
- 32:28 Egy figure!
- 32:30 - What? How much I said this?
- 32:49 I didn't know she knew it. I wonder where she picked that up.
- 32:53 What does it mean?
- 32:54 to your head oh isn't that nice and she pronounced it so well
- 32:59 - Yes, sir. - Yes, I'm a man. - Yes, very good.
- 33:08 - Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
- 33:13 In my Reagan and vessel to murder rule.
- 33:16 How come she speak Hungarian? Were you born in Hungary? I studied music in Budapest. I lived at, what's the name of the street?
- 33:58 Hi.
- 34:30 I just got a call. Kafka's launching with the Hudson Insurance people tomorrow.
- 34:35 It's tonight or never.
- 34:36 What about the legal aid? My office is working overtime, drawing up the contract. All right, I'll go right after them.
- 34:42 Well, enjoy the goulash, Mr. Corker. Good goulash. Very good goulash. If your firm is as good as your cook, we might get together. Well, I'm glad you brought that up.
- 34:50 i hear the details a yarachim laszlo come here a minute after all we are partners i want you to listen to mr finger's proposition
- 34:58 poor gentleman. Here it is in a nutshell. Everybody, please, I have a treat for you.
- 35:02 Mr. Sebastian, you know, is a very well-known pianist, and he's kindly consented to play for us. So if you'll all be seated. Thank you. Thank you.
- 35:13 Does he have to play? Yes.
- 35:15 Don't worry.
- 35:24 Mrs. Baker.
- 35:25 Yes, Mrs. Spassham.
- 35:31 Would you mind moving from here, please? Yes.
- 35:48 It's locked.
- 35:49 That's odd. The key.
- 35:53 Two silver ones. Who could have locked the camera? Where's the key? I don't know. It's a funny idea. Why should anybody lock the camera? She's too ridiculous. Why should anyone lock the camera? Where's the key? Where's the key?
- 36:05 As I was saying, Mr. Croftsworth, my proposition is a very simple one, but a very sound one.
- 36:12 I broke it. Don't you worry. I won't. Now, Mr. Sebastian, please tell us.
- 36:17 What are you going to play?
- 36:19 Well, first I'm going to pl...
- 36:23 Mrs. Baker yes, mr. Sebastian
- 36:28 All right.
- 36:37 I shall begin with a sonata pathétique by Beethoven.
- 36:41 A sonata in three movements.
- 36:43 And afterwards, if I feel like it, I shall play Hoff's 11 variations on the second theme of the first movement.
- 36:50 followed
- 36:51 on my own variation on Hoff's 11 variations on the second theme of the first movement.
- 36:57 The only one I ever heard lasted three cigars. It's a disaster Jones were sunk.
- 37:13 Oh.
- 38:26 Alexander's top it.
- 38:35 Please don't...
- 38:36 No, no.
- 39:10 Oh
- 39:13 Oh, my God.
- 39:22 You know, Jones, I'm glad you got that clause in the contract. It saved our necks. Another...
- 39:30 Wait a minute, I'm gonna have some fun.
- 39:36 How do you do how you do sir about that picture in the window? It's very good. Don't you think? I
- 39:41 No fooling what is it? It's a portrait of a man.
- 39:44 Oh. Well, certainly. What else could it be? Excuse me, sir. Not everybody understands modern art.
- 39:54 $500 must be quite a man. Well, it's not the man. He happens to be rather an obscure musician
- 40:00 Musician? What kind of a musician? A pianist, I think.
- 40:03 Is it by any chance Alexander Sebastian?
- 40:06 Well, that's who it is.
- 40:07 You recognized him?
- 40:09 He seems to be a friend of yours. Wouldn't it be amusing to have him at your home permanently?
- 40:15 Not very amusing. Not very amusing.
- 40:26 cheap guy like that
- 40:28 Who?
- 40:29 him
- 40:32 Goodbye, Jones.
- 40:44 Hello, darling. Hello. Isn't this a nice surprise for you? Yes, very nice. A married farmer.
- 41:05 What's he so merry about?
- 41:08 Oh, darling, you don't begrudge me a little music, do you? Oh, no, no.
- 41:12 Anything new? Well, this isn't enough.
- 41:14 Yeah plenty have a good day time
- 41:19 You seem to be feeling better these days. Oh, yes. I slept 10 hours last night. And, Barry, the hiccups have completely disappeared. Isn't that good news?
- 41:26 Yeah, very good news.
- 41:29 Are you still going to Dr. Vanguard? Oh, no. I don't need Dr. Vanguard anymore. I'm so busy with my music and visiting art galleries that I haven't even time to think of any doctor.
- 41:39 Oh.
- 41:41 Isn't that wonderful?
- 41:43 You know, I'm beginning to see something in this.
- 41:47 Yeah, it starts to look like a man.
- 41:50 Okay.
- 41:50 Huh?
- 41:53 Why did you say that? Well, the other night... Oh, you did that seriously. I was only kidding. How could that be a man? I was nervous about the dinner party, and I said whatever came into my mind...
- 42:04 I'm sorry, darling. No, dear, no, I don't agree with you. It does look like a man. Now, don't be stubborn. Can't you take a joke?
- 42:10 Well, then, what is it?
- 42:12 Okay.
- 42:14 It's a meadow. It's called Meadow and Spring. Oh, and Spring. Yeah.
- 42:21 And those little notes of music, what do they mean?
- 42:25 that's that's the shepherd playing his pipe shepherds play pipes don't say oh sure
- 42:32 And the clerk at 12.15? Oh, I don't know exactly what that means, but I guess it's probably lunch. The shepherd eats and then he plays his pipe. Really, darling, you talk as though you've never been in a meadow. You see, in modern art, they're trying to break down the conventional form. They're trying to get away from what you expect. It's all done by indication. It's all done by indication.
- 42:56 What are you doing? Oh, I'm just putting a mustache on the shepherd.
- 43:05 Knock that guy right through his piano now that'd be the worst thing you could do I
- 43:10 You just make her feel sorry for her. Don't make a martyr of her.
- 43:14 You've got to look at this thing from a woman's angle.
- 43:17 Now, wait a minute.
- 43:21 Miss Agin, will you come in please?
- 43:30 Miss Agins, we want a woman's point of view on a certain situation.
- 43:35 Now, Mr. Baker has a friend.
- 43:38 And he's in trouble. Who, Mr. Baker? No, the friend.
- 43:41 Oh, Mr. Baker. Oh, now Mr. Baker has nothing whatever to do with it.
- 43:46 Let's call the friend Mr... Mr Brown.
- 43:49 Now, Mr. Brown has a wife. Mrs. Brown. Exactly.
- 43:53 Mr. and Mrs. Brown have been married for, uh, how long?
- 43:57 Well, say six years. They live in Toledo. Six years in Toledo? That's bad. All right, then. Let's say New York.
- 44:04 Now, Mr. Brown is worried about his marriage. Things are not going along as well as they used to.
- 44:09 What kind of a man is this, Mr. Brown? Very nice.
- 44:13 Wouldn't you say so? Yes, very nice. Is he attractive? Very attractive. Don't you think so?
- 44:18 Yes. And yet she's complaining. Yes.
- 44:21 She's drifting away from him. Yes, and he wants to get things back on the old basis who doesn't I?
- 44:28 Yes. Now, Miss Higgins...
- 44:29 As a woman, I'm asking you, what is the right approach?
- 44:34 Well...
- 44:34 I should say a mink coat would do the trick.
- 44:37 She has a mink coat. Then what's she complaining about?
- 44:41 Thank you, Miss Higgins. That's all. Well, gentlemen, you wanted to get a woman's point of view.
- 44:46 Just a moment. Now, look here. Mrs. Brown is interested in another man. Oh, does Mr. Brown know? Yes. Has he any proof? Too much. Has he any witnesses? No. Then he's sunk. Thank you, Miss Aiken. Well, I'm sorry, Mr. Baker, but if there aren't any witnesses, she's going to deny it, if you want the woman's angle. Miss Aiken, we're thoroughly satisfied. Well, I'm afraid I'm not the right person to give you any advice.
- 45:07 I probably have too much sympathy for Mr. Brown and not enough patience with Mrs. Brown.
- 45:12 We get cases like that every day. The wife is bored, marriage is just a habit, but on the other hand, she accepts everything her husband gives her.
- 45:20 I think she ought to be kicked out. Do I sound old-fashioned? We'll let you know, Miss Higgins. Well, anyway, I think Mr. Brown is a pretty swell guy. I've always thought so.
- 45:30 Some woman. Yeah. She certainly had a couple of interesting angles. I didn't notice them. Good.
- 45:36 Now, Larry, you still love your wife, don't you? Yeah. Well, where are you going from here?
- 45:42 I have a dinner appointment with old C.K. Higgins at his club.
- 45:44 How can I sell insurance with this in my mind? It's a big deal. Now, listen. Forget Higgins. Forget insurance. Go home.
- 45:52 There's only one thing you have to sell.
- 45:54 Yes, sir.
- 45:55 The most important client you ever had in your life is waiting for you.
- 45:58 And her name is Mrs. Baker. Yes.
- 46:01 Now, you're the best salesman in the business.
- 46:03 There's nothing wrong with your marriage.
- 46:05 You just have to resell it once in a while.
- 46:08 Not so easy. Well, who said it was?
- 46:11 Was it easy to sell hail insurance in Southern California?
- 46:15 Just find the right slant.
- 46:17 A new one. Selling marriage with a new slant, huh? A new slant. That's not a bad idea. But what is that new slant? That's what I'd like to know. What is it? What is it? Selling marriage with a new slant.
- 46:44 and
- 46:45 Oh, my God.
- 46:52 Oh, nice surprise, eh?
- 46:58 Hello, my genius.
- 47:01 Who are you going to be this evening?
- 47:04 Come, tell your little cadenza.
- 47:06 Are you Mozart, playful, tender? Or are you the thundering Beethoven, strong, fiery, unyielding?
- 47:15 Come, darling. Tell your little cadet...
- 47:18 Huh?
- 47:24 The target to fear
- 47:30 Guess who is here? Guess who is here? It is Bolton, the God of God, coming down to...
- 47:40 Anything serious? No, she just fainted. Oh, well, women are always fainted.
- 47:46 Any particular reason?
- 47:48 No, no. She just thought I was a genius.
- 47:51 Then she found out I wasn't and it was too much for her.
- 47:54 Please make us off at home. I'll be right back. I want to get some smelling salts.
- 48:15 Now look bigger let's get this straight there's going to be a very heated discussion I
- 48:19 We're going to insult each other.
- 48:21 It can't be avoided. You're going to accuse me of something which I'm going to deny and you're not going to believe.
- 48:25 So before this battle starts, let's get one thing straight.
- 48:29 I'm not going to fight.
- 48:30 My hands are my only livelihood, and I'm not going to risk them on your jaw.
- 48:34 Here, Mozart, wake up your little cadenza.
- 48:49 What's happened? Well, I... I...
- 48:53 Eww!
- 48:54 That's very funny. You know what I thought? Look, I think I...
- 49:03 I'm sorry.
- 49:05 What?
- 49:23 Hello
- 49:25 Hello, Jones. I'm still Sully.
- 49:27 You were right. It needed an entirely new slant.
- 49:30 I think I've got a new one.
- 49:38 Okay.
- 50:02 Amen.
- 50:12 Okay.
- 50:13 I
- 50:15 Baker, I don't trust you. Oh, come on. Have a cigar.
- 50:19 Either you have something in the back of your mind or that cigar stinks. No, no, that's the same cigar I give my customers.
- 50:25 How old are you, Sebastian?
- 50:28 Not as old as you?
- 50:29 Oh, right in the prime of life, huh?
- 50:32 You're good health
- 50:34 Good enough. Even better after I've had dinner. But I'm not going to fight. No, no, no. I don't want to fight. Fight.
- 50:40 But you might run into a husband sometime who hasn't my respect for great music.
- 50:44 Where would you be then?
- 50:46 Come on, Sebastian. I'm gonna do something for you whether you like it or not.
- 50:51 I'm going to ensure your hands...
- 50:53 That'll give you complete freedom of action.
- 50:56 It'll give me 5%.
- 50:58 Then we'll both be happy. I'm not going to fight. No, I know. I understand. You're an isolationist.
- 51:06 Isolate yourself over there
- 51:10 You know, the best part of this whole thing is that we...
- 51:12 Sit down.
- 51:15 We can write this hand insurance as a subclause to your life insurance.
- 51:19 Life insurance? What do I want with life insurance? I'm Johnny Dependents. Any relatives? Relatives, fui.
- 51:25 I tell you
- 51:27 You can leave it to my wife.
- 51:28 She can buy herself a beautiful brooch in the shape of a piano with little diamond keys.
- 51:33 And every time she pins it on, she'll think of poor dear Sebastian.
- 51:37 Believe me, if anybody should ensure his life, it's you.
- 51:40 And right now...
- 51:53 Well, then, where were you born? I'm not going to fight.
- 51:59 You love my wife, don't you?
- 52:05 Love your wife, baby.
- 52:07 So that's what you've been driving at
- 52:10 Oh, no, I understand the whole thing. Oh, really, Becky, you should be a little ashamed of yourself. Great big...
- 52:18 Insurance man like you deal so successfully with human nature. I
- 52:24 You used to know better than that
- 52:26 Naturally, I think it was very attractive and very charming. She likes music.
- 52:31 Was that thing loaded?
- 52:33 Yeah.
- 52:34 Oh, now look, Baker, get it out of your mind.
- 52:38 I don't love your wife.
- 52:40 Well, it's going to be a great day in the musical heaven.
- 52:43 I can just see Beethoven calling over to Mozart. Hey, Mozart dust off the piano. Look who's coming. A little genius. That's not funny. This isn't funny either.
- 52:51 I love my wife. I've loved her for six years. For six years we've been together.
- 52:55 And along comes a guy like you and breaks everything up just because you've nothing else to do.
- 53:00 I'm not gonna get away with it.
- 53:02 You loved my wife earnestly and sincerely and you come to me and told me about it.
- 53:08 Well, that would have been one of those things. I'm not old-fashioned.
- 53:12 If you both felt that you would have been happier without me, what can I have done?
- 53:15 Pack my suitcase.
- 53:17 I wouldn't have to do this.
- 53:23 Kind of had me worried there for a minute When you pulled out that revolver, I thought he is a conventional citizen. I
- 53:30 No sense telling the truth to a man like that.
- 53:33 But now I see the real Baker.
- 53:36 Mara and up-to-date.
- 53:38 Vega?
- 53:39 I'm going to open up to you.
- 53:41 Of course I love your wife.
- 53:43 You're sure? Positive.
- 53:46 Well, then I won't have to shoot you. I don't think it'll be necessary.
- 53:50 Well, we've got a clean-cut situation on our hands.
- 53:53 you love my wife and my wife loves you well oh yes she does i've seen it with my own eyes
- 53:59 There's only one thing left for me to do.
- 54:08 Hello?
- 54:09 Hello, Jonesy. I'm still selling.
- 54:24 Did I hit back no good Shouldn't have done that. I know I'm sorry. I'm done it
- 54:31 Slip back into the old-fashioned baker. I probably won't do it again. I'm not gonna fight I
- 54:39 Hello.
- 54:40 This is Lawrence Baker. I want to reserve a room for tonight.
- 54:43 I'll be right over. Thanks.
- 54:48 Baker.
- 54:51 Are you really moving on? Yes.
- 54:53 Well, yes, certainly. I think I should leave the apartment to her.
- 54:57 You do?
- 54:58 Yes, it's only fair, don't you think so?
- 55:01 Yes, I think that seems to be the best approach.
- 55:04 Well, I'm glad you think so. No, no, I don't want there to be any bitterness.
- 55:09 No, I'm in a position to give her security to take care of her future.
- 55:13 But why not?
- 55:14 She deserves it, don't you think so? Yes, yes. Yes, I do. After all, she's given me the best years of her life. Yes, I'll take some wonderful memories with me.
- 55:25 She's a nice girl, isn't she?
- 55:26 Yes, yes, very nice.
- 55:29 Well, she has a false no hasn't that's true. That's true. I
- 55:33 Uh, Sebastian, if you should ever run into one of her bad moods, all you have to do is...
- 55:39 No, no, perhaps I better not tell you come on now don't act like little boy. What is it? Oh? Got a personal life come on come on. What is it?
- 55:49 Well, if you ever should run into one of her bad moods, you just want to snap her right out of it.
- 55:54 There's only one way to do it.
- 55:56 What's that?
- 55:58 John Kiekser.
- 56:00 Keekson?
- 56:02 How did he do that?
- 56:04 Yes.
- 56:05 Good
- 56:07 She liked that insane about it. Thanks, Rick
- 56:14 Kids?
- 56:25 Now,
- 56:26 About the cause for divorce.
- 56:28 According to the New York state law, one of the parties must have a correspondent.
- 56:32 Oh, there must be some less embarrassing way. Not in New York. Well, you don't have to do it. I'll get the correspondence. Oh, no, I wouldn't like to put you in that position. That's all right.
- 56:40 But why should you take the plan? Well, it's okay. It's quick and painless. Very wide of you, Baker. Thanks, Sebastian. That leaves the property settled.
- 56:48 The following agreement has been reached between Lawrence Becker, herein after referred to as the party of the first part, and Jill Becker, herein after referred to as the party of the second part. It is understood that the party of the first part transfers title to the apartment at 685 Park Avenue to the party of the second part.
- 57:04 What about the furnishings? Yes, what about them? Well, I didn't understand that you were... Oh, yes, I want everything transferred to...
- 57:10 uh,
- 57:11 To...
- 57:12 the party of the second part.
- 57:13 Can't we take that up later? No, let's get everything settled now. You're entitled to it. Oh, now look. He's only trying to be fair.
- 57:19 You're too generous. No, despair. That's all.
- 57:23 Well...
- 57:24 If there's anything you want. I don't need anything.
- 57:27 What would I do with it? But Larry... He lives in a hotel. Where would he put it?
- 57:30 You'd only have to pay storage.
- 57:32 That's right. Well, I'd better change this.
- 57:40 What's his name?
- 57:43 John. I don't trust him.
- 57:48 Well...
- 57:49 Here we are.
- 57:51 Baker versus Baker sounds awful, doesn't it everything legal does oh about this correspondent yes, who's it going to be?
- 58:00 Oh, I don't know.
- 58:01 Anyone in mind? Mm-hmm. I have several promising prospects. Oh, you have? Mm-hmm.
- 58:06 Yes, I think we can clear up the whole matter in about four weeks. Sounds pretty good. Mm-hmm.
- 58:11 Tell me, it isn't Mary Logan.
- 58:13 Mary Logan is a correspondent.
- 58:15 I can do better than that.
- 58:17 After everything's straightened out, I think I'll take a trip to South America.
- 58:21 Is it one of my friends?

- 58:43 Absolutely, don't you?
- 58:45 Well...
- 58:46 Well, don't tell me you don't want it.
- 58:48 That'd be a great disappointment.
- 58:49 After all, you're seriously in love with Sebastian.
- 58:52 Otherwise, you wouldn't have.
- 58:54 Well, we wouldn't be here. You're too fine a person, Jill, to have done all this just to fill out your day.

- 59:44 Nothing, just one of us own the details.

- 59:49 Darling, there's nothing to worry about. It's a very clean-cut agreement. Alexander, please, I'm so nervous. Can't you understand? Of course, we all have our little moods.
- 59:58 Kick!
- 1:00:08 Now let's read this again.

Innocent spouse may get divorced provided the other spouse shall have by cruel and barbarous treatment rendered life intolerable and burdensome to said innocent spouse. Sounds promising. Shouldn't be difficult for you to be barbarous. No my innocent spouse.
- 1:02:43 What do I have to do? Well, let's call in a witness. Let's say my secretary.
- 1:02:48 And first you two start a quarrel. Pleasure. And then I'd say maybe you slap her face. Slap her face?

- 1:07:03 Hello, Albert. Good morning, sir. I hope you'll forgive me for disturbing you on Sunday. Here's the order. Have a late night, sir.
- 1:07:20 Oh, not so well, sir.
- 1:07:22 I came to ask if in your future plans you'd have any use for me.
- 1:07:26 Have you left, Miss Baker?
- 1:07:27 Yes, sir. I had to. On account of that musical gentleman.
- 1:07:33 Oh. In fact, we all left, except Emma. Then she fought you at a place quite dead.
- 1:07:39 How is Ms. Baker?
- 1:07:40 As charming as ever, sir.
- 1:07:42 Happy, I suppose.
- 1:07:43 If you'll pardon me for saying so, I think she shows great courage.
- 1:08:09 Hello. Hello. Where's Mrs. Baker? Jill, dear. Oh, dear, darling. Oh, I got such a thrill when you called me. Why shouldn't I, old friend's like us? Sit down, Marty. How are you, Jill? Oh, I'm so happy.
- 1:08:39 Fine. I hear you're going to Philadelphia. Oh, did you meet Alexander? Yes, but I didn't want to bother. He's practicing for his new concert. I understand. Does it disturb you? No, no, no, no. I love music. Yes, I'm going to Philadelphia. And you're happy? Oh, yes, very.
- 1:08:55 Of course, I'm still a little bewildered it's all so new. I guess it's all very exciting. Yes, very exciting. Being transferred from the business world into the world of art. Nothing but Bach and Tchaikovsky. That's Bach. He's practicing Bach. You sure it doesn't disturb you? Oh, no, no, no. I love it. You don't have to be ashamed. Not everybody likes Bach, so if you want him to start... I do. I wouldn't think of it. The whole thing sounds so very romantic. Yes, very romantic. Oh, by the way, have you seen Larry? Yes, yes. I saw him last night at the Monte Carlo.
- 1:09:25 There is the Monte Carlo. Yes. Imagine.
- 1:09:30 Just a moment.
- 1:09:42 Please forgive me. Of course. Well, now, what were we talking about?
- 1:09:53 So, you don't like my music, eh? Alexander... I make nothing but a lot of noise.
- 1:09:58 All right.
- 1:10:01 I'm going.
- 1:10:06 Isn't he original? Oh, Barry. I hope you don't mind. No, not at all. I'd love to make him angry. He turns into a big grizzly bear. It must be fascinating. Jill.
- 1:10:23 The bear.
- 1:10:31 What is it Jill there'll be no more music here today
- 1:10:35 Oh, no. No, and don't coax me. And don't shush me.
- 1:10:39 It's a matter of fact, there'll be no more Sebastian here today.
- 1:10:42 At least not for lunch. And dinner is very uncertain. Well, if that's the way you feel about it... It is.
- 1:10:48 Jill, I can be very impossible.
- 1:10:58 What fun. I only hope poor Larry has as good a time as I. Well, when I saw him at Monte Carlo. Oh, yes. I suppose that was another one of those dull business evenings.
- 1:11:09 Was it a large party?
- 1:11:10 No, I'd say she was about your size.
- 1:11:14 Oh.
- 1:11:15 Was she attractive?
- 1:11:16 No, I didn't think so.
- 1:11:18 But George and Freddie thought she was terrific.
- 1:11:21 You know George and Freddy. But what do you care? That's right. What do I care? Larry's entitled to have a little fun.
- 1:11:30 That's the kind of life you like.
- 1:11:40 Hey.
- 1:11:40 I'm sorry.
- 1:11:44 Hello?
- 1:11:46 Hello Sally darling.
- 1:11:48 I feel pretty good considering. What about you?
- 1:11:53 Mm-hmm.
- 1:11:54 That's right.
- 1:11:57 Huh?
- 1:12:00 No, I'm sure you took it with you when we left for the Monte Carlo.
- 1:12:03 Wait a minute.
- 1:12:13 Hello? Yes, it is.
- 1:12:16 All right.
- 1:12:26 Hello.
- 1:12:29 Oh, you can't throw me out.
- 1:12:33 Jill, you shouldn't come up here.
- 1:12:36 It's rather embarrassing. Well, I was just passing by. But after all, if Sebastian finds out... Oh, don't worry about that. But I do...
- 1:12:43 A girl engaged to be married?
- 1:12:46 Coming to a bachelor's apartment and unannounced...
- 1:12:51 Just a moment.
- 1:13:00 Well, I seem to be intruding look Joe. What you want to see me about? I
- 1:13:05 Someone here?
- 1:13:06 What do you want, Joe?
- 1:13:08 Well, I was driving by. Oh, right on the 31st floor? Yes.
- 1:13:12 Well, you said you wanted some kind of remembrance, and...
- 1:13:15 I'm on my way to Cynthia Knox's tea, and I had to pass by, so I picked up a few things. Some snapshots of us taken together. Thought you might be interested. Thank you. Aren't you going to look at them?
- 1:13:28 Oh, oh, oh, yeah.
- 1:13:31 Well, it's the first time we met. There's one of you sitting in my lap, our wedding, our honeymoon. That's very nice. Thanks. Anything else?
- 1:13:40 I heard you were at the Monte Carlo last night. Yeah.
- 1:13:43 Sleepy?
- 1:13:45 Yes.
- 1:13:47 Well, give my regards to Cynthia Knox.
- 1:13:50 Hmm?
- 1:13:51 You were on your way to Cynthia Knox's tea, right? Oh, yes, yes. I like your apartment, Larry. Yes.
- 1:13:56 Lovely. Charming. Yes. Very, very charming.
- 1:14:05 In such good taste. Pretty.
- 1:14:08 They're cozy. Lovely curtains. And such a beautiful view.
- 1:14:14 Yes, such a beautiful...
- 1:14:19 I'm sorry.
- 1:14:21 That was rather foolish.
- 1:14:23 Please forgive me.
- 1:14:26 Larry, I did make quite a mess of things. Oh, everything turns out for the best.
- 1:14:31 You can't mean that, Larry. I can, and I do.
- 1:14:34 Mary, please don't make me go to Philadelphia. Please don't. Oh, Madam has changed her mind.
- 1:14:40 She gets a little tired of marriage and she walks out just like that.
- 1:14:44 What does she care if she makes a fool of her husband?
- 1:14:46 How much he hurts him.
- 1:14:48 And she gets a little tired of piano music and she comes back and says, "Oh, it was just a little whim of mine, so please trot back to the old homestead."
- 1:14:55 You'd break up a whole life and then think you can put it back together again in one afternoon.
- 1:14:59 Oh, no, it's not that easy.
- 1:15:02 I didn't expect it to be easy.
- 1:15:04 To tell you what I think of you would take more than just one afternoon.
- 1:15:09 How about dinner?
- 1:15:11 Did I?
- 1:15:12 Couldn't we just have dinner together tonight?
- 1:15:15 I'm sorry, I'm engaged for dinner. Oh, that gun...
- 1:15:19 Yes, that girl. I don't like your tone.
- 1:15:21 I'm sorry.
- 1:15:23 First you tried to mess up my life, now you want to spoil that girl Sunday.
- 1:15:27 Sally doesn't get every day off, you know. Sally works hard. Oh, she does. She does.
- 1:15:31 Now what's wrong with that?
- 1:15:33 Nothing.
- 1:15:35 She doesn't have everything dumped in her lap, like you.
- 1:15:38 She hasn't time to go to crazy art galleries, play around with second-rate musicians, or go to psychoanalysts.
- 1:15:43 She has no husband to pay for her complexes.
- 1:15:46 Sally's a mighty fine girl, much finer than your Mr. Sebastian.
- 1:15:50 She doesn't wear your shirts, either.
- 1:15:52 Did he take? Oh, skip it.
- 1:15:54 here.
- 1:15:55 You promised to love, honor, and obey...
- 1:15:59 And here.
- 1:16:00 Mm-hmm.
- 1:16:02 That's the first time we met. That's an awful picture of me. But you were a fine girl.
- 1:16:07 I didn't bore you with my insurance then.
- 1:16:09 You listen to everything. You want to know everything about me and my work.
- 1:16:12 - He wanted to help. - Oh, Larry.
- 1:16:14 And here.
- 1:16:17 Remember everything you said to me
- 1:16:18 I'd love to say it again, Larry, if you'd only give me the chance.
- 1:16:22 Just forget it again. No, Larry, never again. I swear. There's no use pretending.
- 1:16:28 I'm defeated.
- 1:16:31 Mmm.
- 1:16:32 See you there.
- 1:16:36 Gee.
- 1:16:39 I'll always remember that tree in front of our hotel window. And that funny old Italian writer? Well, that wasn't here. Oh, yes. No, no, it wasn't.
- 1:16:46 Oh, I hear it.
- 1:16:47 Oh, that's right. That's the front porch.
- 1:16:51 My first breakfast. Yeah, I see.
- 1:16:53 Oh, Larry, couldn't we have dinner together?
- 1:16:57 Not tonight. Why not?
- 1:16:59 Sally let me talk to her. Oh no. Woman to woman she'll understand. No no.
- 1:17:05 Please, that.
- 1:17:06 Well...
- 1:17:08 You don't deserve it, but...
- 1:17:10 I'll see what I can do.
- 1:17:11 Thank you, darling. You stay right here.
- 1:17:14 Amen.
- 1:17:15 It's going to be very tough.
- 1:17:39 Sally Akins...
- 1:17:41 He can...
- 1:17:43 That girl.
- 1:17:45 Help!
- 1:17:56 Oh!
- 1:18:05 Geek!
- 1:18:15 How do you do, Miss Haken? Oh, hello, Mrs. Baker. Nice to see you.
- 1:18:23 Miss Haken would have loved to have seen you, but unfortunately he's busy. Oh, he asked me to give you your handbag. Oh, yes, I forgot it. I was doing some secretarial work for Mr. Baker. Oh, secretaries work on Saturday night. Oh, well, I'm a notary public, too. Oh, I see. And you brought your seal? Oh, yes. A trained seal. Goodbye, Miss Haken.
- 1:18:48 Mrs. Baker.
- 1:18:50 Shh. Ah!
- 1:18:54 I'm sorry.
- 1:19:10 Sweet.
- 1:19:11 Sweet.
- 1:19:16 Okay.
- 1:19:24 Looks hopeless.
- 1:19:29 It's much more serious than I thought.
- 1:19:31 Ah.
- 1:19:32 That girl's really in love with me.
- 1:19:33 she adores me i don't blame her she says she can't live without me
- 1:19:37 But I believe her and I too it's understandable
- 1:19:40 You're very wonderful.
- 1:19:43 Oh, yes, yes, you are.
- 1:19:46 How about dinner?
- 1:19:48 But you know I can't.
- 1:19:49 How about after the night?
- 1:19:51 Do you want a suicide in your conscience? Oh, no. No, no, not that. Well, there you are. You're right. It's hopeless.
- 1:19:58 It was too bad, Joe.
- 1:20:00 could have been so marvelous. Yes.
- 1:20:01 There's no reason we couldn't really have been happy.
- 1:20:04 Yes, but it's too late now.
- 1:20:06 It looks like the end.
- 1:20:08 Goodbye, Larry, and good luck.
- 1:20:12 Good luck.
- 1:20:24 I'll talk to her again.
- 1:20:28 BIRDS CHIRP
- 1:20:32 BELL RINGS
- 1:20:37 Ah!
- 1:20:41 This is bigger home. Yes, never mind
- 1:20:45 That's always back
- 1:20:47 Yes.
- 1:20:58 It's Bolton, the god of gods, coming back to Earth.
- 1:21:24 A little bit softer, please.
- 1:21:55 Oh.
- 1:22:17 Move!
- 1:22:18 I'm going to go.
- 1:22:40 Oh, my God.
