:34:03
The average fellow,
just because a girl takes
a drink now and then,

:34:06
right away
he jumps to conclusions,
won't treat her with respect.

:34:10
Well, I treat everybody
with respect. I have to.

:34:12
I'm on the public payrolls,
remember? I'm a checker.

:34:15
Aw, get lost.
:34:27
I didn't order this,
Frank.
On the house,
Mr. Thompson.

:34:30
Well,
what's the occasión?

:34:32
Have one with me.
You?

:34:34
I thought you fellas knew
all about this stuff and never touched it.
What's happened?

:34:38
Oh, nothin', nothin'.
:34:39
Only, you see,
I'm in sort of a spot.
Yeah?

:34:43
Well, I guess it's up to me
to break the bad news.

:34:46
You see, the headwaiter, well,
he went ahead and gave your table away.

:34:50
Wait a minute! I want it!
I'm waitin' for her.

:34:52
Where is that headwaiter?
That's just the point,
Mr. Thompson.

:34:56
I don't think she's going
to be here tonight.

:34:59
That's why he took
the liberty.

:35:01
You see, she went to Yuma.
:35:03
But you got it all balled up.
:35:06
I'm meetin' her here.
I got a date!

:35:08
I know it's something of a shock.
:35:10
I could hardly believe it either, but...
she really did go to Yuma, Mr. Thompson.

:35:14
You see...
:35:16
Well... she got married.
:35:20
I think what it must be,
:35:22
nowadays a girl'll marry
anybody that asks them.

:35:24
Imagine.!
A man like Slim Dundee.

:35:26
A man with
his known character.

:35:30
I'm sorry about
that table,
Mr. Thompson, but...

:35:33
He kept on talkin;
jabberin'away.

:35:35
I didn't hear a word of it.
I couldn't think.

:35:38
So she went to Yuma.
So she married Slim Dundee.

:35:41
Of course.
He had all the dough,
and that's all she ever wanted.

:35:45
I told myself,
"Fine. It was a lucky break."

:35:47
Probably the best thing
that ever happened to me.

:35:49
I told myself that someday
I'd look back and realize it.

:35:53
But I was wrong.
It was in the cards, and there
was no way of stopping it.

:35:57
A month went by,
a second, a fourth.
