:25:02
It was one ofher usual roundups
ofbizarre and nondescript characters...
:25:06
- corralled from every stratum of society.
- How are you this evening?
:25:09
This is Mr. and Mrs. Preston.
They've been waiting to meet you.
:25:11
How do you do?
:25:16
- Hello, Shelby.
- Excuse me, honey.
:25:23
You're Laura Hunt.
:25:25
- Yes?
- Hello. I'm Shelby Carpenter.
:25:29
- Want to dance?
- I'm not alone.
:25:34
Oh, him? I'll bet
he's still doing the polka.
:25:37
Excuse me, please. Yes.
:25:39
Betsy Ross taught it to me.
:25:41
- Hello, Waldo. Darling, how are you?
- Hello, darling.
:25:44
- I see you've met Shelby.
- Hello, Ann.
:25:46
- Unavoidably.
- He was awfully nice to me in Louisville at the Derby.
:25:48
His family's from Kentucky.
:25:51
Sharecroppers, no doubt.
:25:58
Louise. Louise, for the last time,
will you marry me?
:26:01
I won't, but I've saved
some chicken livers for you.
:26:03
Oh, you're an angel.
In the meantime, darling...
:26:05
you think you could
get this spot out for me?
:26:08
I can afford a blemish on my character
but not on my clothes.
:26:10
- Mmm. Couldn't eat another mouthful.
- I'm afraid it's rouge.
:26:13
- I'm afraid it's liquor.
- Louise. Oh.
:26:15
- May I have a glass of milk for Mr. Lydecker?
- Of course, Miss Hunt.
:26:18
I forgot to tell you.
I also read palms.
:26:21
I cook, I swallow swords, I mend my own
socks, I never eat garlic or onions.
:26:25
What more can you want
of a man?
:26:27
- Don't listen to that scalawag.
- I didn't expect to find him here, Louise.
:26:30
What do you mean?
We're old friends.
:26:32
She feeds me,
humors me, repairs me...
:26:34
and refuses to marry me,
don't you, honey?
:26:36
- I do.
- She has good sense.
:26:38
- Now, wait just a minute. Thanks, Louise.
- You're wasting your time.
:26:41
- She's got good sense too.
- You're jealous.
:26:45
And what does it feel like,
Mr. Carpenter?
:26:48
What does what feel like,
Miss Hunt?
:26:51
Living on the income
from an estate.
:26:53
- Well, I, uh-
- Or don't you know?
:26:55
Well, I did, until the sheriff
took it over 10 years ago.
