:27:00
Why maintain the fiction?
Why not work?
:27:02
Believe it or not, I asked
one of my many friends for a job once-
:27:05
executive of a big company-
2,500 employees.
:27:08
He could have pressed a button
and done it, but he just laughed.
:27:11
- He thought I was joking.
- Weren't you?
:27:13
No. When I convinced him, he got
embarrassed, said he'd phone me.
:27:16
That was months ago. Now whenever
he sees me, he looks the other way.
:27:28
- Do you really want a job?
- Yes.
:27:34
Oh, here you are.
:27:36
Laura, dear, I cannot stand
these morons any longer.
:27:40
If you don't come with me
this instant, I shall run amok.
:27:44
All right, Waldo.
:27:47
10:30 tomorrow,
Bullitt and Company.
:27:50
You've got a job.
:27:52
I concealed my
annoyance with masterly self-control...
:27:57
but I sensed a situation
which would bear watching.
:28:01
Laura, take a look at this.
:28:05
Do you like it? Do you think it'll make
people want to bathe more often?
:28:09
It should. It's excellent.
:28:11
- There you are.
- Good night, Miss Hunt.
:28:13
- Good night.
- Good night, Mr. Carpenter.
:28:15
- Good night, honey.
- It's really very good. Who's the model?
:28:18
A girl named Diane Redfern.
You hired her yourself last week.
:28:21
- Don't you remember?
- Oh, yeah.
:28:23
Well, let's go, moon of my delight.
I am starved.
:28:26
You usually are.
:28:28
- I approve of that hat.
- You do?
:28:30
Mm-hmm.
And the girl in it too.
:28:33
Thank you.
:28:38
I knew there was
something on my mind.
:28:40
What is it? Oh, yes.
Will you dine with me tomorrow night?
:28:44
- Maybe.
- No, that isn't what's worrying me.
:28:46
- It's the next night.
- But, Shelby, I can't be-
:28:48
Good. What about three weeks from
tonight and all the nights in between?
:28:52
Don't you think
I have any other engagements?
:28:54
What about two months
from now and the month after that?
:28:57
- What about next year?
- That's all settled. What about breakfast?
