Hello, Trippy, darling.
Look who's here, George.

:07:04
- George, I thought I heard your voice.
- Hello, Trippy.

:07:07
Well, well. Welcome back.
How have you been?

:07:09
- Fine. How have you been?
- Me? Wonderful. Couldn't be better.

:07:13
Trippy has a job now and is working hard.
:07:15
I certainly am, only I don't like
to hear it referred to as a job.

:07:19
- What do you do?
- Customer's man.

:07:21
Skeffington and Company.
:07:22
- Skeffington and Company? The Jewish firm?
- Yes.

:07:25
- How do you like working for him?
- Oh, he's all right. Just like any other boss.

:07:30
Well, he must pay awfully well.
:07:32
Here you are, giving lavish dinner parties.
Two years ago you were practically broke.

:07:37
Oh, but we're still broke.
:07:38
We've kept it from everybody
but the butcher, the baker...

:07:42
...and several department stores.
:07:43
The fact is, George, I kept my eyes
and ears open down at the office...

:07:47
...and I made a little killing.
:07:49
I thought if I bought new dresses
and gave a dinner party...

:07:52
...it might encourage Trippy
to make more killings.

:07:55
Very touching.
:07:57
You don't have to worry about me.
My killer's instinct is aroused.

:08:01
That's wonderful. I hope it's all true.
:08:04
- Why do you say that?
- You still don't look anyone...

:08:07
...straight in the eye
when you speak to them.

:08:09
What gives you the right
to keep picking on me?

:08:12
- Find me someone worth looking in the eye.
- That's not very flattering.

:08:16
All right, Trippy, darling.
We'll find someone.

:08:19
Now, come on and finish dressing.
:08:24
And hurry. You know you're always late.
:08:29
- Evening, Mr. Middleton, Mrs. Middleton.
- Good evening.

:08:33
- Good evening, Soames.
- Good evening, sir.

:08:38
- Good evening, sir.
- Good evening.

:08:40
I did want to see Mr. Trellis.
:08:42
- I had no idea...
- Yes?

:08:44
Nevertheless, I wonder if I could see him.
:08:47
- Have you an appointment?
- I'm afraid not.

:08:50
- Well, then, l...
- It's very important.

:08:52
- Who shall I tell him is calling?
- Mr. Skeffington. Mr. Job Skeffington.

:08:56
Oh, Mr. Skeffington.
:08:59
I'll tell him immediately, sir.
