:12:01
How do you do, Mr. Skeffington?
:12:04
How do you do?
:12:07
George, did you explain to
Mr. Skeffington about Trippy?
:12:10
No, I didn't.
:12:12
Unfortunately, my brother went to bed
half an hour ago, with a severe...
:12:16
...cold.
- Headache.
:12:19
Both?
:12:21
I'm sorry to hear that.
:12:23
It's possible the cold
brought on the headache.
:12:25
Trippy feels sure he can shake
the cold off overnight...
:12:28
...and be at his desk in the morning.
- I'm sure he will be.
:12:32
I don't think that's quite probable.
:12:34
You see, your brother
is no longer in my employ.
:12:38
Trippy never said a word about that.
:12:40
A man with a cold
is never very communicative.
:12:44
- lf you'll excuse me, perhaps I'd better...
- Mr. Skeffington.
:12:48
Isn't there anything
you would care to discuss with us?
:12:53
As you may know, Miss Trellis
and Trippy have no father or mother.
:12:56
I'm more or less head of the family.
:12:58
Since your cousin avoided me tonight and
undoubtedly will avoid me in the morning...
:13:03
...I think perhaps
I had better speak to you.
:13:06
Miss Trellis, it's rather a delicate matter,
so if you'll excuse us.
:13:10
- No, Mr. Skeffington, I'm staying.
- All right, then.
:13:14
I dropped in tonight on an impulse. I was
really on my way to see Arnold Hanlon.
:13:18
Arnold Hanlon?
Wasn't he the district attorney?
:13:21
He still is.
:13:26
I don't think I'm going to be able
to take this standing up.
:13:30
Maybe we'd all better sit down.
:13:33
- Won't you, Mr. Skeffington?
- Thank you.
:13:40
Has Trippy done something awful?
:13:42
Well, to begin with, your brother
has many good qualities.
:13:45
He's intelligent. He has imagination...
:13:47
Oh, this is gonna be even worse
than I thought.
:13:50
As a bond salesman,
he started out brilliantly.
:13:52
His orders piled in,
his commissions mounted.
:13:55
We gave him a larger desk,
put his name on the door.
:13:58
That he told me about.
:13:59
Then one day he handed in
a very large order...
