:15:02
We'll get ahead someday.
But I don't want it someday.
I want it now, while I can still enjoy it.

:15:07
Anyway, men don't get smarter
as they grow older; they just lose their hair.

:15:10
Gerry.
But I would! I'm very tired
of being broke, darling,

:15:14
and feeling so helpless
about having my hands tied.

:15:17
I could've helped you so many times,
but every time I tried to, you tried
to punch the man in the nose.

:15:22
Don't talk rot.
How about that president
of the smelting company?

:15:26
That wolf!
Well, he's still the president
of a smelting company.

:15:29
We might've been
in the smelting business now,
and paying our rent.

:15:32
Lovely.
He liked you very much,
he said.

:15:34
The less I hear about that hyena,
the better I'll like it.
But that's what's so irritating...

:15:38
to know that I could get you someplace...
without doing any harm either.

:15:42
You have no idea
what a long-legged gal can do
without doing anything.

:15:46
And instead of that, I have
to watch you stamping around proudly,
like Sitting Bull in a new blanket,

:15:52
breathing through your nose
while we both starve to death.

:15:54
Thanks.
You don't have to keep saying "thanks"
all the time. I'm not being so nice.

:15:58
That's the first time I've said it.
If you want a divorce,
you're certainly entitled to it.

:16:01
I don't know where
the money's coming from.
The next husband always pays for that.

:16:04
Oh, you have him all picked out,
have you?
Oh, you're such a child!

:16:07
He doesn't happen
to be in the sausage business,
by any chance, does he?

:16:11
I may not even get married again.
I might become an adventuress.

:16:15
I can just see you starting
for China on a 26-foot sailboat.

:16:19
You're thinking of an adventurer, dear.
:16:21
An adventuress never goes on anything
under 300 feet, with a crew of 80.

:16:25
You just let me catch you
on a 300-foot yacht,
or even a 200-foot yacht.

:16:29
At least I wouldn't have to worry
about the rent.

:16:32
Oh, I'm sorry. Let's go
and have some dinner, hmm?

:16:35
How can you think of food
at a moment like this?
Because I'm a woman, maybe,

:16:39
and a little more practical
than you.

:16:41
Are you going to put
on your dinner jacket,
or shall I take off my new dress?

:16:44
Is that a new dress?
:16:49
You'll always be a sister to me, huh?
I know it sounds stupid,
but I'm a rotten wife.

:16:53
I can't sew. I can't cook.
You certainly can't.

:16:57
But just because I'm a useless wife
doesn't mean I couldn't be very valuable
to you as a sister, but very valuable.
