: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.

:06:00
Today, I get married!
:06:02
- Well, l...
- Didn't they say I wanted to see you?

:06:05
Say, what is this?
:06:07
Do I own a paper or a lunatic asylum?
:06:09
- You just took the words out of my mouth.
- Mr. Bane, my future wife.

:06:13
Nonsense! I'll be in my office!
:06:15
Get rid of this woman!
:06:17
Take it easy, that's the owner of the paper.
:06:19
I don't care who he is. Nobody talks
to me like a house detective.

:06:22
How do you know
how a house detective talks?

:06:24
Don't you think I read? Where are you...
No, you don't. If you think that you can...

:06:28
Gladdie, darling.
Now, you tell the preacher to wait...

:06:31
and I'll phone you just the minute I'm free,
and we'll get married today.

:06:35
Now, that's a promise.
:06:36
Tomorrow at this time,
you'll be a married woman.

:06:38
I swear to it. Joe, come here.
:06:40
Will you show Miss Benton to a taxi?
:06:43
And this is supposed to be
the happiest day of a girl's life.

:06:46
Yes, ma'am.
:06:50
Why doesn't London answer?
:06:52
I want J. B. Allenbury.
This is terrible, Haggerty.

:06:57
- A mistake like that can ruin...
- What do the lawyers say?

:06:59
An open-and-shut case. Pure libel
and slander. We haven't a leg to stand on.
