:04:01
It was somebody else.
She wasn't at the party.

:04:03
And we printed the story?
Holy mackerel! Come on.

:04:05
Wait. You said not to stop for anything...
:04:07
but you've got to have your pants.
:04:09
Yeah, yeah. I gotta have my pants.
:04:11
Can't I stay away for one day
without somebody pulling a boner?

:04:14
You call yourself a newspaperman.
Where's your nose?

:04:16
- My nose?
- Yes, your nose!

:04:17
That thing fairly reeks of alcohol!
:04:19
Jackson was drunk.
You got to smell things like that.

:04:21
You don't need any brains.
All you need is a nose!

:04:23
- I knew the boss hated her father...
- And her father hates us!

:04:26
He'd blow us up,
and you hand him dynamite.

:04:28
The one girl that we should handle
with kid gloves...

:04:30
and you spread her name
over the front page! What?

:04:32
- What'll we use for a headline?
- I don't care.

:04:34
"War threatens Europe!"
:04:35
- Which country?
- Flip a nickel!

:04:37
Yes, sir.
:04:38
The boss is here. He wants you right away.
:04:40
Does he want me or my job?
Have you got a drink?

:04:42
There's a fresh bottle on your desk.
I thought you'd need one.

:04:45
I'll need it, and how.
:04:52
I knew I'd find you
with a drink in your hand.

:04:54
- What are you doing here?
- What are you doing here?

:04:57
What? Didn't Ching tell you?
:04:58
Yes, Ching told me, and I told him,
and now I'm telling you.

:05:01
I won't stand for it.
:05:02
You can't do this to me, Warren Haggerty.
Not to me!

:05:05
First it was a fire at sea.
Then it was a kidnapping.

:05:07
- What's the gag this time?
- Darling, there's no gag.

:05:10
- The newspaper's made a mistake.
- So has little Gladys.

:05:13
Engaged to a newspaperman.
Joe Simpson never treated me like this.

:05:16
- Then why did you divorce him?
- I've asked myself that many times.

:05:19
Gladdie, after all, you got no kick.
:05:21
I haven't?
First, you said a trip to Bermuda.

:05:23
- You went to Bermuda.
- But alone. Then it was Europe.

:05:26
If I wait another year,
it'll be Little America. I won't.

:05:29
- I tell you, I can't get away.
- It's not Europe. It's the church.

:05:32
It only takes 20 minutes to get married.
:05:34
- But, Gladdie, the trip.
- I'll take Battery Park.

:05:37
I'm going to take you
on the greatest trip a girl ever had...

:05:40
just as soon as we settle the suit.
:05:41
Nothing doing. For two years
I played second fiddle to this paper!

:05:45
But the boss is waiting for me.
:05:47
The preacher's waiting, too. Get your hat.
:05:48
I can't go...
:05:49
the paper's in a jam!
We're facing a libel suit!

:05:52
You're facing a breach of promise suit!
If you don't want to marry me, say so!

:05:55
Gladdie, you're getting yourself
all upset, darling.

:05:58
- A little drinkie, maybe?
- Not today I don't.
