1:02:01
My sister and your brother.
It'd be nice if something came of it.

1:02:04
Oh... Oh! Oh, yes, wouldn't it?
It would be wonderful for him.

1:02:09
Of course, she's no bargain,
but it might happen very easily.

1:02:12
She's a woman of iron determination,
and once her mind is made up,
he might as well yield.

1:02:16
I can see what you mean.
I'm glad you're gonna stay with us,
and your brother too.

1:02:19
Are you?
I don't know why I didn't think of it.
Or maybe I did think of it.

1:02:22
But it took someone of my sister's
courage to make it come true.
You're very sweet.

1:02:26
Thank you very much.
The captain's a big fellow, isn't he?

1:02:29
Yes, isn't he?
You look exactly alike.

1:02:32
Yes, don't we? You know,
people always remark on it.

1:02:44
Why don't you marry her?
She's lovely.

1:02:47
In the first place, she isn't free yet.
In the second place, you don't marry
somebody you just met. I don't.

1:02:52
But that's the only way, dear.
If you get to know too much
about them, you'd never marry them.

1:02:56
I'd marry Captain McGlue tomorrow,
even with that name.
And divorce him next month.

1:02:59
Nothing is permanent in this worid
except Roosevelt, dear.

1:03:02
As a matter of fact, Maude,
I'm becoming very attracted
to this young woman,

1:03:05
more so than anyone I've known
the same length of time.
Aha!

1:03:08
But I want to know how she is
early in the morning, late at night,

1:03:11
under trying circumstances,
as when the servants leave,
how she is with children...

1:03:15
What are you gonna do?
Rent some?
Perhaps we could borrow some.

1:03:18
You mean a mock marriage?
I certainly do not.

1:03:20
I revere marriage, unlike some people
I could mention. Oh, here.

1:03:24
But why Captain McGlue?
Of all the idiotic names!

1:03:28
Because I want him to build
your airport for you, darling.

1:03:31
He seems to have something
against my husband. I don't know why.
But as my brother...

1:03:35
Apart from the fact that I wouldn't
let him build a chicken coop for me,

1:03:38
I'd still like to know why
I'm to be called Captain McGlue!

1:03:41
Wasn't that your mother's name?
What? Captain McGlue?

1:03:44
Really, Geraldine!
Her name was McGrew.
M-C-G-R-E-W.

1:03:48
Oh, well, I'm sorry, darling.
I remembered it as McGlue.

1:03:51
Yes, well, I guess
I'm stuck with it now.
Captain McGlue!

1:03:54
What am I supposed to be
captain of? A garbage scow?

1:03:57
I just put that in
to make it more dignified.

1:03:59
Couldn't you have been
a captain in the last war?
Sure.
