:29:01
Not gonna catch me
walking the floor all night
:29:03
with an armload of little ones screaming.
:29:06
- You mightn't have any.
- What do you mean?
:29:08
They never had less than eight
on either side of my family. Usually 12.
:29:13
I don't want to go into that, of course,
Mr McGinty, but they don't yell so much.
:29:18
- Anyway, it sounds like music to the father.
- I don't like music neither.
:29:22
It's entirely up to you, of course, Mr McGinty.
:29:25
I don't care any more about marriage
than you do,
:29:28
but I'd think twice before I turned down
an opportunity like you have.
:29:32
You'd widen all the parades, welcome all
the potentates, lay all the cornerstones.
:29:36
Yeah, in a silk hat. The municipal bricklayer.
:29:39
It just seems so wonderful to me because
it's beyond anything I could ever hope for.
:29:44
And because I'm so interested
in your career, Mr McGinty.
:29:47
- You're a sort of favourite of mine.
- Thanks.
:29:50
But if you think I'll get hitched to some dame
I don't even know -
:29:53
- What about Miss Lucy Dangerfield?
- In spades, that dame.
:29:57
Well...
:30:01
I'd be willing to do it for you, Mr McGinty.
:30:04
Hm?
:30:05
You see, I don't want to get married either.
I feel the same way you do about it.
:30:09
This way we'd both be protected
:30:11
because there's always someone
who wants you to marry them.
:30:14
We'd never have to see each other
except to be photographed outside city hall.
:30:18
I could run your house and make speeches
for you at the women's clubs,
:30:22
be your wife in everything
except when we were alone.
:30:25
You see, I... I've already been married.
:30:32
- What's that got to do with it?
- Hm?
:30:34
- (Phone rings)
- If that's Lucy, tell her I'll be a little late.
:30:38
- I gotta think this over.
- Yes, sir.
:30:41
Hello.
:30:45
[Music:] (Mendelssohn) Wedding March [Music:]
:30:50
Well?
