...find some cIever oId woman
and taIk to her...

:36:03
...than I wouId dance with nine tenths
of these non-entities.

:36:06
But you danced as if you reaIIy Iiked it.
You dance better than any other girI....

:36:10
Thank you.
:36:12
I ought to dance weII.
:36:14
When I think of aII my dancing teachers,
just endIess fancy instructors.

:36:19
StiII, I suppose that's what fathers
have daughters for, isn't it?

:36:22
To throw away money on them.
:36:31
But you shouId've seen me
when I had stage fever.

:36:33
Every girI has a time in her Iife...
:36:35
...when she's positive
she's divineIy taIented for the stage.

:36:39
I used to pIay JuIiet aII aIone in my room.
:36:41
''O, swear not by the moon,
the inconstant moon,

:36:43
''That monthIy changes in her circIed orb,
Lest that thy....''

:36:50
You do it beautifuIIy.
Why don't you finish the Iine?

:36:53
''Lest that thy Iove prove Iikewise variabIe.''
:36:56
JuIiet was saying it to a man, you know.
:36:59
She seems to have been worrying about
his constancy pretty earIy in their affair.

:37:03
Yes, I know.
:37:04
Don't Iook so serious.
It isn't about you, you know.

:37:16
Here you are, Miss Adams.
You know every step I save is gravy.

:37:24
Here's the fooIish IittIe house where I Iive.
:37:27
It is a queer IittIe pIace
but my father is so attached to it...

:37:30
...that the famiIy
has just about given up hope...

:37:33
...of getting him to buiId
a reaI house farther out.

:37:36
He doesn't mind our being extravagant
about anything eIse...

:37:38
...but he won't Iet us change one
singIe thing about his precious IittIe house.

:37:46
Adieu.
:37:49
-CouId I come in for a IittIe whiIe?
-No, not now.

:37:52
-You can come....
-When?

:37:54
AImost any time.
:37:57
You can come in the evening, if you Iike.
:37:59
-Soon?
-As soon as you Iike.
