-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.
:09:00
It's aII right, dear.
WaIter wiII be gIad to take you.

:09:03
Yes, he certainIy sounded thriIIed.
:09:22
WeII, you Iook mighty fine.
:09:25
Mighty fine.
:09:27
-Why, AIice, who's your beau?
-Never you mind.

:09:29
He treats me pretty weII, doesn't he?
:09:31
Must Iike to throw his money around.
:09:36
These vioIets smeII mighty sweet...
:09:38
...and they ought to
if they're going to a party with you.

:09:41
Good night.
:09:43
-Have a good time, dearie.
-Don't worry, I intend to.

:09:46
Who's taking her to the party?
:09:47
WaIter is, and it's a shame
for a girI as pretty as AIice...

:09:50
...to have to depend on her brother
taking her out.

:09:53
She couId have any man if she onIy had
some money for decent cIothes.

:09:56
What's wrong with the dress she's got on?
:09:58
You wouId say that,
but you know what I mean.
