I wanted my flowers
to get here before I did.

:47:05
- They're beautiful. Fanny was delighted.
- Good.

:47:07
- You like a drink?
- Thank you.

:47:09
A friend from a newsreel company
has sent over the latest war pictures.

:47:13
- Would you like to see them?
- I should say I would.

:47:16
- We'll look at them after dinner.
- Good.

:47:18
- Job.
- Thank you, George.

:47:31
Think Fanny will like it?
:47:32
It's much too good for her.
:47:35
- What did she give you for your anniversary?
- Cigarette holder. It's beautiful.

:47:39
Even though I've given up smoking.
:47:43
- Just we three for dinner?
- No. Probably Ed Morrison.

:47:46
He barged in. He's upstairs.
:47:48
- Doesn't he know it's your first anniversary?
- Oh, yes.

:47:51
He chose this night especially to ask
for my wife's hand in marriage.

:47:55
I sent him up to Fanny.
She makes all the domestic arrangements.

:48:00
Your marrying Fanny
hasn't discouraged any of her suitors?

:48:03
On the contrary.
Before they just wanted to marry her.

:48:06
Now, they seem to feel
they have to rescue her.

:48:09
Do you know she has to reject them all
on the average of about twice a month?

:48:13
Not too firmly, I suppose.
:48:15
The trouble with Fanny is,
she's soft-hearted.

:48:17
She's so kind to them all.
:48:19
So gentle and considerate.
:48:22
And how has she been with you, Job?
:48:26
She's been kind and gentle
and considerate.

:48:31
That isn't quite what you want, is it?
:48:36
I'm a very patient man, George.
:48:38
I'll leave, but remember,
I haven't given up yet.

:48:41
That would be Morrison. Thank you.
