:14:02
I'd rather face a tiger than the things
the critics said about your last book.
:14:06
- Isn't this divine of Mary and the little girl?
- Let's see.
:14:10
What does it say?
:14:12
Leave it to Mary to see
she's photographed from her best angle.
:14:15
Is that so?
:14:16
What will you write next? Animal stories?
:14:19
I wouldn't have to go to Africa for that.
:14:21
I wish I could make a little money writing,
the way you do.
:14:24
If you wrote the way I do,
that's what you'd make.
:14:27
- You're not a very popular author, are you?
- Not with you.
:14:30
Best angle, my foot.
It doesn't half do her justice.
:14:32
You'll have some sherry?
:14:34
I'll take it. Peggy never seems
to connect very well.
:14:36
- I'm sorry.
- Let me see.
:14:38
She's in love, bless her. After the child's
been married as long as you...
:14:42
...she may be able to concentrate
on matters like cocktails.
:14:45
- Another lecture on the modern woman.
- At the drop of a hat.
:14:48
I consider myself a perfectly good wife.
I've sacrificed a lot for Howard Fowler.
:14:52
Smoked oysters.
:14:53
Don't mention smoked oysters.
They turn me green.
:14:56
You are a bore.
:14:57
Lay off my reputation, girls,
while I unswallow.
:15:00
Please.
:15:03
- Isn't Little Mary a dream?
- I wish I could afford to have a baby.
:15:06
You never will
if your bridge game doesn't improve.
:15:09
I'm devoted to Edith Potter,
but she gets me down.
:15:12
I don't blame her husband
for being bored with her.
:15:14
- What makes you think Mr. Potter is...
- My dear, he's one of those flirty types.
:15:18
Loves to kiss all the girls.
I told him off one time.
:15:21
I said, "Look, one more smack,
and I'll go straight to Edith!"
:15:25
- Did you?
- Of course not.
:15:27
I'd die before I'd hurt Edith.
:15:29
- Nuts.
- Thanks, dear.
:15:33
Heaven be praised, I'm on to my husband.
I wouldn't trust him on Alcatraz.
:15:37
You oughtn't to talk about him like that.
I think it's disloyal.
:15:40
Do we know how the men talk
about us when we're not around?
:15:44
- I've heard rumors.
- Exactly.
:15:47
While we're on the subject...
:15:49
...have you wondered if the master
of this maison might not be straying?
:15:53
I haven't.
:15:54
Mary Haines may be living
in a fool's paradise.
:15:57
You're so resourceful.
I ought to go to you for plots.
