Where was Elizabeth when she phoned?
:23:05
Grand Central Station.
:23:06
Well, she should be here by now.
:23:08
I sent her to Yardley to talk him out of it.
:23:10
Instead, he talks her into it.
:23:12
- It means she'll lose her job, of course.
- Yeah.

:23:15
And mine too.
:23:17
Well, merry Christmas.
:23:25
Hello, Lizka. Your friends are waiting
in the bar.

:23:28
- What's the matter? Something wrong?
- Oh, no, no. Just a catastrophe, that's all.

:23:32
Catastrophe.
:23:33
- Sam?
- Yes, sir?

:23:35
Catastrophe, what is it?
:23:36
It's from the Greek. It means "a misfortune,
a cataclysm or a serious calamity."

:23:41
Greek, serious, calamity.
:23:44
- It is good?
- No, sir. That's bad.

:23:47
Bad?
:23:50
- A double martini, Oscar, please.
- Well?

:23:52
Every time I opened my mouth, he talked.
I felt like Charlie McCarthy!

:23:56
Lizka. This catastrophe. It's trouble?
:23:58
- Yes. I'm going to lose my job, Felix.
- Pish-posh. That's nothing.

:24:01
- Get another job.
- That's what you think.

:24:03
I better go phone my wife
and give her the glad tidings.

:24:05
Darling, you have to eat something.
:24:07
- Right, you must keep up your strength.
- Commence with an appetizer.

:24:10
Then I bring some nice
chicken Budapest...

:24:13
...some Brussels sprouts à la Felix,
some potatoes au gratin.

:24:16
- Sounds very palatable.
- Help yourself, darling.

:24:19
First, some nice filet of marinated herring
à la crème.

:24:22
- Elizabeth?
- Artichoke hearts vinaigrette.

:24:24
Sometimes these things
happen for the best.

:24:26
- Bologna.
- But I think how I've worked...

:24:28
...building up that job.
:24:29
There's another job waiting for you.
:24:31
- There is?
- Yes.

:24:32
The job of being Mrs. John Sloan, darling.
:24:35
Horseradish.
:24:36
Well, that's sweet of you, John.
:24:38
But I don't feel that way about you,
and it wouldn't be fair.

:24:41
Well, I'm willing to take a chance.
I can make you care for me in time.

:24:44
Nuts.
Wa... Walnuts, pickled walnuts. Excellent.

:24:48
Come on, Lizka. Sit here.
I wait on you myself.

:24:51
Eat everything, Lizka.
:24:53
Felix, bring us some wine, will you?
Something very good but not too expensive.

:24:57
Moselle 1927? Yes?
:24:59
- Fine.
- Yes, sir.
