:51:01
Particularly not for my daughter who
is a weak woman with a large fortune.
:51:05
I don't think she is weak.
:51:07
Even if she were not,
you are still penniless.
:51:09
Yes, that is my weakness
and therefore you mean I'm mercenary.
:51:12
- I don't say that. You say that.
- But that's what you mean.
:51:16
There are many poor men,
Mr Townsend,
:51:18
but they do not proclaim
that they're not thieves,
:51:21
especially when no one
has accused them.
:51:23
I simply said
you are in the wrong category.
:51:26
But your daughter doesn't marry
a category. She marries a man,
:51:30
a man she's good enough
to say she loves.
:51:32
A man who offers nothing in return.
:51:35
Is it possible to offer more than
affection and lifelong devotion?
:51:39
Lifelong devotion
is measured after the fact.
:51:42
It's usual to offer
a few material securities.
:51:45
What are yours? A handsome face
and figure and a good manner.
:51:48
All are excellent as far as they go
but they don't go far enough.
:51:51
- You think I'm an idler?
- It doesn't matter what I think.
:51:54
I just don't think of you
as a son-in-law.
:51:56
- You think I'd squander her money?
- Ah, I plead guilty to that.
:52:00
Because I spent my own, I suppose.
:52:02
It was just because it was my own
that I spent it. I've made no debts.
:52:05
When it was gone, I stopped.
I don't owe a penny in the world.
:52:08
Allow me to ask.
What are you living on now?
:52:13
The remnants of my property.
:52:24
You left your gloves here yesterday.
:52:28
Thank you.
:52:31
Doctor, don't you care
to gratify your daughter?
:52:35
Do you enjoy the idea
of making her miserable?
:52:37
I'm resigned to her thinking me
a tyrant for a few months.
:52:40
- A few months?
- For a lifetime, then.
:52:43
She may as well be miserable that way
as with you.
:52:46
- You are not polite, sir.
- You push me to it.
:52:50
- You argue too much.
- I have a great deal at stake.
:52:53
I know and you have lost it.
It is over.
:52:55
I wouldn't be too sure of that, sir.
:52:58
You are impertinent.
