:16:02
I'm sorry, Miss Trellis.
I know it won't be any hardship...
:16:05
...for you to return the money.
- No hardship?
:16:09
There won't be unpleasantness.
:16:11
Mr. Skeffington, you may as well know
that Miss Trellis and Trippy are stone broke.
:16:18
I don't understand.
:16:20
- The Trellis wealth was a legend.
- Well, it's now a myth.
:16:23
When my father died four years ago
he did leave a considerable estate...
:16:27
...but, you see,
Trippy insisted on managing it.
:16:30
He went through their fortune
and was starting in on yours.
:16:34
I see.
:16:37
But the house, servants.
I was under the impression...
:16:39
Everybody's under the same impression.
:16:42
Even the creditors.
:16:44
I take it, then, there's no chance
of the money being returned, is there?
:16:52
I'll be leaving now.
:16:54
Unless, of course, Trippy could get another
job and pay you back a little each week.
:17:00
You couldn't write him
a reference, could you?
:17:03
I could, but my heart
wouldn't be in it, really.
:17:07
Well...
:17:08
...all we can do is throw ourselves
on your mercy.
:17:14
You see, there are stockholders.
It's not my money, it's the corporation's.
:17:19
Yes, but the horses were yours
and not the corporation's, weren't they?
:17:27
Yes, that's true.
:17:31
But I'm not quite sure of the logic.
:17:34
If you give us time,
I'll look over the estate again.
:17:37
Perhaps there's something I can salvage.
:17:40
Mr. Skeffington.
:17:47
Well, the stockholders don't know yet.
:17:50
I'll let it ride a while.
:17:51
Thank you. Thank you very much.
:17:54
- Mr. Skeffington, may I tell you how...
- Please. I'm keeping you from your guests.
:17:58
Wouldn't you stay for dinner?
