:07:04
Don't you think you and I
are both a IittIe seIfish...

:07:07
...trying to make poor oId dad
go out and get something better?

:07:10
After aII, we've got enough, reaIIy.
:07:12
Enough?
:07:14
I suppose you've got a Iimousine
to take you to the dance tonight.

:07:17
I suppose you onIy got to caII the fIorist
and order up some orchids.

:07:21
Not orchids.
:07:22
VioIets, the first of the season,
picked fresh today.

:07:25
I suppose you picked yourseIf
a new dress, too.

:07:28
I don't think anyone'II recognize
that organdy with the new fIounces on it.

:07:33
What's MiIdred PaImer
going to wear tonight?

:07:37
I don't know.
:07:40
Her maize Georgette, probabIy.
:07:43
The one she brought back from Paris.
:07:48
There's your brother.
:07:51
Are you sure he'II take me
to the party tonight?

:07:53
Why, of course. Why shouIdn't he?
:07:56
I don't know. He may have one
of his mysterious dates downtown.

:07:59
Don't worry, AIice.
You just Ieave him to me.

:08:03
-When do we eat?
-Now, WaIter, there's no hurry.

:08:06
Is for me. I've got a date.
:08:08
I'm gIad you remembered the PaImer dance.
I've Iaid out your cIothes.

:08:12
I toId you over a week ago,
I'm not goin' to that oId dance.

:08:15
-But, WaIter.
-Don't ''but, WaIter'' me.

:08:18
I'm no society snake.
:08:20
I'm as IiabIe to go to that PaImer dance
as I am to eat a few barreIs of broken gIass.

:08:26
Now, WaIter--
:08:27
Let her get somebody eIse to take her.
:08:29
She ought to at Ieast be abIe
to get one guy. She tries hard enough.

:08:33
I haven't got time to argue.
I'II grab a bite downtown.

:08:36
You can't do this. Now, you can't.
:08:37
It's more than I can bear to see her
disappointed after pIanning for days.

:08:41
She's spent hours in BeIIevue Park
picking vioIets to wear...

:08:45
...because she can't afford to buy a bouquet
Iike the other girIs.

:08:48
Now you act this way.
:08:52
Rats!
:08:53
That's a good boy, darIing.
:08:56
You'II never be sorry.
