:33:00
I hadn't any connections
except for an uncle...
:33:02
...who's in the roofing business
in Wilmington.
:33:04
He wasn't much good, though.
He was inclined to get drunk. Still is.
:33:08
We have an uncle
like that but he keeps off roofs.
:33:11
Mother had wanted me
to go to a big Eastern college...
:33:14
...so I worked my way through Harvard.
:33:17
In vacations, I worked in a steel mill
and in an automobile factory.
:33:20
One summer I drove a garbage truck.
:33:23
Admirable.
:33:24
No, they simply happened
to be the only jobs I could get...
:33:27
...but you can learn a lot in a steel mill,
a lot you don't get at Harvard.
:33:32
Anything else, sir?
:33:35
I beg your pardon?
:33:36
I should think you would.
:33:39
Is there anything else
you'd like to know about me?
:33:42
Why, that is....
:33:45
Well, Mr. Seton, how about it?
:33:47
-About it? About what?
-About Julia and me, getting married.
:33:51
Why, this is a complete surprise to me.
:33:53
I hardly know what to say to you.
:33:56
-Well, "yes" would be pleasant.
-I'm sure it would.
:34:00
However, we must go into the matter
a little more carefully, I'm afraid.
:34:04
The only difficulty about that is the time.
Julia's idea is January 10. Mine, too.
:34:09
We'll see about that.
:34:11
May I ask how we shall see, sir?
:34:13
Mr. Case, I don't know you at all.
:34:17
I'll give you every opportunity
you permit me.
:34:19
-Lunch tomorrow?
-Tomorrow I have--
:34:21
Tuesday?
:34:22
Suppose you meet me
at the Bankers' Club at 1:00 on Friday?
:34:25
I'm sorry, but Friday's out.
I've got business in Boston that day.
:34:29
Better make it tomorrow.
:34:30
I'll see whether I can rearrange
my engagements.
:34:35
Ned, Julia, nearly time for lunch, isn't it?
:34:38
In the meantime, I think Mr. Sloan or
Mr. Hobson might say a good word for me.
:34:42
I'm decent and civilized
and I love your daughter, which isn't hard.
:34:47
She seems to like me, too, and that's
about all that can be said for me...
:34:51
...except that we have a grand chance
of being happy.
:34:53
-So do I.
-Come on, Father, be an angel.
:34:56
The matter is too important
to be decided offhand.
:34:58
You'll be married when I've come to
a decision and on a day which I will name.
