:22:03
What is it?
:22:07
- Aunt Katherine wants to speak to you.
- What have I done now?
:22:10
Do you know why
Robert wasn't here tonight?
:22:12
- Sure, because he's smart.
- I'm not fooling, darling, he's disappeared.
:22:15
That's swell. Now if we could just
get Aunt Katherine to disappear...
:22:20
Here he is.
:22:22
Nicholas, I'm sorry
to take you away from the boys.
:22:26
That's quite all right.
:22:28
- How long has Robert been gone?
- Three days.
:22:31
Three days without a word.
:22:33
- Have you notified the police?
- Certainly not.
:22:36
- And we're not going to.
- Oh, no.
:22:38
Robert may have been kidnapped.
He may be lying dead somewhere.
:22:41
But we mustn't do anything about it.
:22:43
Our precious name
might get into the papers.
:22:45
Don't pay any attention to her.
She's exaggerating the whole affair.
:22:48
However, to please her, I thought you
might investigate the matter quietly.
:22:52
- With your experience as a...
- Flatfoot.
:22:57
I didn't mean to be blunt as that.
:22:59
What's the difference? It's all in the family.
:23:01
- Have you any idea where he might be?
- Yes.
:23:03
- He's with some woman, I know that.
- Selma, you know nothing of the sort!
:23:07
What about the vanity case they sent me
from that Chinese restaurant?
:23:10
That was a stupid mistake on their part.
:23:13
Mistake? He's with some woman,
you know it.
:23:16
Selma, you know Robert
worships you. He wouldn't...
:23:18
How can you say such a thing
when you know that he hates me?
:23:21
He only married me for my money!
He never did love me.
:23:25
Sometimes I wish he were dead!
:23:27
I'm just a little confused.
Do you want him back or don't you?
:23:32
- Nick!
- Why, of course she wants him back.
:23:35
- Selma, don't, please don't.
- I'll leave this in your hands, Nicholas.
:23:40
If you'll excuse me,
I'll go back to my guests.
:23:43
Don't worry, darling.
It'll be all right. Nick will find him.
:23:47
The one sure way
to get him back is to cut off his money.
:23:50
- I know.
- Well, if he doesn't show up before...
:23:52
tomorrow morning, I'll go down
to the police and see what I can do.
:23:56
- Thank you, Nick.
- Mr. Graham calling, madam.
:23:58
- David, Happy New Year!
- David, how are you!
