next.

:08:01
And when l was standing
in the Customs office, what did l sight?

:08:04
''Jordan Line.''
:08:06
Says l to myself, says l,
''Maybe the old gentleman is in.''

:08:11
And here you are.
:08:13
l'm very grateful to Mr. Greenbaum.
:08:16
Oliver, l'm as flat as a millpond.
:08:19
l haven't got a sou.
:08:21
Carlotta, go along with you.
:08:24
What about all those gilt-edged securities
and your theater?

:08:28
That alone ought to bring you
enough to live on.

:08:32
My chief reason for coming to
this country is to get rid of that rattrap.

:08:35
What's the matter with it?
:08:38
For six months,
they haven't taken the lock off the door.

:08:41
lt's now known as
the ''spiders' rendezvous.''

:08:44
Can't collect rent from them.
:08:48
When old Starfield gave me that theater...
:08:50
l thought it was very magnificent
of the old boy.

:08:55
Now l wish l'd taken a sandwich.
:08:58
Lotta, you always exaggerated.
:09:01
l bet you're rolling in wealth.
:09:03
What have l got?
:09:04
Railroads, oil, cotton.
That's what they gave you in my day.

:09:09
l only could take what they had.
:09:11
And you know what's happened
to those things.

:09:13
You are down to cases.
''lnternational star returns to stage.''

:09:18
Never. l'll have my double chins in privacy.
:09:22
l've seen too many hardened arteries
dragged out to make a first-night holiday.

:09:27
Oh, no.
:09:29
Now, Carlotta, your stock
must bring you in a little something.

:09:33
lt can't cost you an awful lot
to live over there.

:09:36
No? You saw how it was like at Antibes.
:09:41
You and Millicent.
:09:42
10 and 20 for luncheon, cocktails.
Most of them staying on for dinner.

:09:48
Very same thing at my house in London.
Everybody popping in.

:09:52
Noel, Winston, and once in a while, Wales.
:09:57
l didn't do so badly for a little girl
from Quincy, lllinois, eh, ducky?
