:14:02
lf you wore a certain hat,
it became the rage.

:14:06
l was rather gorgeous, wasn't l?
:14:09
Remember? They named
everything after me.

:14:13
Cigars, race horses...
:14:16
perfumes, battleships.
:14:21
They were a little previous on that.
:14:24
But one thing l shall always remember.
:14:27
The day you were 21 ...
:14:30
you asked me to marry you, Oliver.
:14:32
What a young fool
you must have thought me.

:14:35
No, l thought it very sweet of you.
:14:38
You see, l was 30-ish.
:14:42
l remember l went home and wept a little.
:14:45
They didn't often ask me to marry them.
:14:48
You broke my heart when you refused me,
Carlotta.

:14:50
So l buried my grief
in the shipping business.

:14:53
Dear Oliver.
:14:55
Mr. Packard is here now.
:14:57
Tell him to come right in.
Do you mind, Carlotta?

:15:01
He's quite a fellow, Dan Packard.
Used to be a miner.

:15:06
Big Western stuff, you know.
:15:08
How interesting. l'd like to meet him.
:15:10
All right, Mr. Packard.
:15:12
That's no elevator, that's a birdcage.
:15:14
Jordan, what kind of a dump is this,
anyway?

:15:18
l beg your pardon.
:15:20
Dan Packard. This is Miss Carlotta Vance.
:15:23
- Miss Vance.
- How do you do?

:15:25
Wait a minute. Not Carlotta Vance?
:15:28
Yes.
:15:30
Why, l know you.
:15:33
Jordan, you old son of a gun, you.
:15:36
Yes. Saw me when he was a boy.
:15:39
Nursie held him up
so he'd get a good look.

:15:41
Your picture was on the wall of every
mining shack up there in Montana...

:15:45
right alongside of John L. Sullivan.
:15:48
Sutton's Opera House.
:15:50
What was the name
of that piece you were in?

:15:52
You wore pants.
:15:54
Still do. That's my exit cue.
:15:57
When will l see you, Lotta? Soon?
:15:59
Millicent called me up this morning.
