:56:01
...and making yourself be charming.
- I did not.
:56:03
Maybe there is insanity
in the female branch of the family.
:56:06
They've conceived
a misguided affection for you.
:56:08
- They think I'm in love with Maria.
- The mention of love between you...
:56:12
...makes my flesh creep.
:56:15
How you can be the father of such
a lovely girl absolutely amazes me.
:56:19
- I resent that remark.
- I resent how you butt into her life.
:56:22
But you have absolutely
no right to resent anything.
:56:24
Mr. Acuna, I've arranged to fly back
to New York by the next plane.
:56:27
- You've what?
- You can tear up that contract.
:56:30
- I've decided to beat it.
- Oh, you have? Just like that?
:56:33
Yes, sir, I'm going to dump
your entire asinine predicament...
:56:36
...right back into your lap.
:56:38
Oh, I see. You want them to think
that I forced you to leave.
:56:42
Isn't that exactly what you're doing?
:56:44
You want Maria to think you're a
martyr, sacrificed on the altar of love.
:56:48
That idiotic statement didn't come
from your wife's side of the family.
:56:52
Mr. Davis, you signed
a binding contract with me.
:56:54
You'll stay here,
or I'll file an injunction.
:56:57
- Yesterday, you wanted...
- That was before...
:56:59
...your hideous display of charm
last night. Now I have a new plan.
:57:02
You will live up to your contract
in the Sky Room...
:57:04
...but you will keep away from Maria.
- Is that supposed to be brilliant?
:57:08
That will let her know that you
merely used her to get the contract.
:57:11
Naturally, then, she will loathe you.
:57:14
That's just dandy. Then what?
:57:16
Then, to show you how little
you've meant to her...
:57:19
...she will immediately fall in love
with a more acceptable young man.
:57:23
One of many whom I will invite
to my home in the immediate future.
:57:26
- You think she'll fall in love quickly?
- Mr. Davis...
:57:30
...I have an instinct about emotional
responses of the feminine heart.
:57:35
Don't you think
I ought to explain to Maria that...?
:57:38
No.
:57:40
- Why, I thought perhaps...
- No.
:57:42
Our mutual aim
is that she loathe you, isn't it?
:57:46
I guess so.
:57:51
- I was just thinking...
- No.
:57:53
You do the dancing,
I'll do the thinking.
