:36:00
Oh, now, you check the cigarette boxes
while I put the liquor away.
:36:04
Why does everything have to be full
when guests arrive?
:36:07
Full cigarette boxes, candy dishes.
Fresh cakes of soap.
:36:11
Aren't we supposed to eat,
smoke or wash when we're alone?
:36:14
- Where's the scotch?
- I didn't buy any.
:36:16
- Why not?
- Too expensive. Bourbon's a better drink anyway.
:36:20
But the Manleighs
are a cinch to want scotch.
:36:23
People in show business, you know what I mean.
Those kind always drink scotch.
:36:27
Well, I know what you mean, but I wish
you wouldn't say it in radio English.
:36:30
"That kind," not "those kind."
:36:32
There are men who say "those kind"
who earn $100,000 a year.
:36:36
There are men who say, "Stick 'em up,"
who earn more. I don't expect to do either.
:36:39
Nor are you expected
to pay for the scotch.
:36:44
You're quite right.
Funny how it slips my mind...
:36:47
that in certain respects,
I'm only the titular head of this house.
:36:50
Oh. Don't be silly, darling.
:36:56
I thought it very amusing
to begin with.
:36:59
Very, uh, modern and enlightened.
:37:03
My tuxedo, for instance.
:37:05
The same tuxedo that for some strange reason
you want me to wear tonight.
:37:08
Well, what's so wrong about getting
dressed up once in a while?
:37:11
Nothing at all, unless it's obviously
an attempt at pretense.
:37:17
And just what is
so pretentious about tonight?
:37:19
Tonight we'll sit down
to one of Sadie's duck dinners.
:37:22
Present will be Porter and Lora Mae,
with whom we've had many such dinners...
:37:25
when you wore slacks
and I didn't bother to shave.
:37:28
But this time, also present will be two
advertising moguls who happen to employ you.
:37:32
Their presence means
a new uniform for Sadie...
:37:34
my children prisoners in their room...
:37:36
and all the pomp and hysteria
usually reserved for coronations.
:37:39
I call that pretense.
:37:41
All right. So I'm out
to impress the boss.
:37:44
What do I get for that, 30 years?
:37:46
Tonight's important to me.
I've planned and worked, shopped...
:37:49
taken the twins off Sadie's hands,
written my program...
:37:51
and I'll be up all night tonight
and it's worth it to me.
:37:53
And as far as
dressing's concerned...
:37:56
you can come in a cowboy suit
for all I care.
:37:58
Ohhh.
