:28:02
Here, let me fix your tie.
:28:24
Well, hello.
:28:27
- What in the world brought you here?
- An airplane.
:28:31
I grabbed the first one I could catch
after getting your telegram yesterday.
:28:35
Why all the rush?
:28:36
I wanted to be among the first
to congratulate you...
:28:39
...on your forthcoming marriage.
:28:41
Well, we hadn't planned
to announce it for a while...
:28:44
...but since you've let the cat
out of the bag...
:28:47
Darling, this is Russell Quinton.
:28:50
My fiancé, Richard Harland.
:28:55
How do you do?
:28:56
- Might I have a moment with you alone?
- Certainly. We can go in the library.
:29:01
Will you excuse us?
:29:04
Mrs. Berent, Ruth.
:29:18
Dick. Dick, is it true?
:29:20
- I'm so happy for Ellen. For both of you.
- Thank you.
:29:23
That's all very well, but what I want
to know is when and how?
:29:26
- Well...
- I'm sorry, Russ. Really, I am.
:29:30
I never expected you to come here
in the midst of a political campaign.
:29:33
- When do you plan to be married?
- As soon as possible.
:29:36
Would it be convenient for you
to postpone it until the fall?
:29:39
Until after election, you mean.
:29:41
It wouldn't do me much good
for the news to get out...
:29:44
...that I'd been jilted
and thrown aside like an old shoe.
:29:47
Oh, come now, Russ.
Surely there's no political significance...
:29:51
...in the fact that a lady
has changed her mind.
:29:53
I don't understand it, Ellen.
:29:55
I always knew you'd never marry me
while your father was alive.
:29:59
But after he died, I thought...
Well, I thought there might be a chance.
