1:02:01
We've got to make every minute count.
1:02:04
I have to phone Smith tomorrow.
1:02:05
Why don't I invite him to the theatrical
garden party with me?

1:02:08
I have to sell programs there.
1:02:11
- I don't quite follow you, my dear Holmes.
- In order to make him see.

1:02:15
Nobody suspects our Charlotte yet,
and they've got to.

1:02:18
First, you'd see my mother and father
and get approved by them.

1:02:21
Most parents nowadays don't seem
to care what sort of people...

1:02:24
...their children go around with,
but I'm not like that.

1:02:28
I know I'm very old-fashioned,
but I've got to think of Eve.

1:02:31
What do you do for a living?
1:02:35
I write a bit.
1:02:36
What, novels and things?
1:02:38
I'm very fond of novels. You know,
I read a delightful one the other day.

1:02:42
Let me see. What was the title?
It was written by that woman.

1:02:45
I can't remember, but she's written
a number of books.

1:02:47
You must have read some of them.
They're all about charming people.

1:02:51
She only writes
about the nice side of life.

1:02:53
Now, this book I was telling you about...
1:02:55
...the title has just slipped
my memory for the moment.

1:02:57
Well, it's about a mother, which is
a nice idea, I think, don't you?

1:03:01
One reads so much
about the younger generation.

1:03:03
It does seem a brilliant idea
to have a change.

1:03:05
Now, this mother isn't old...
1:03:07
I'm sorry to turn up so late,
but I'm stranded for the night.

1:03:10
All the hotels are full.
My flat's uninhabitable.

1:03:13
I told you, it's in the hands
of the decorators.

1:03:17
I know it's a frightful imposition...
1:03:19
...but I wondered if you could
give me a shakedown somewhere?

1:03:22
Well, of course we can.
1:03:23
Can't we, Mother?
1:03:25
Well, it's a little awkward.
1:03:28
Is your father proposing
to stay here too?

1:03:31
Well, Jonathan could have my room,
and I could sleep on the settee.

1:03:34
Where shall we put your father?
1:03:39
No. I'll sleep on the settee,
and you can sleep with your mama.

1:03:43
- I hate to put you to all this trouble.
- Not at all, Mr...? What is your name?

1:03:48
- Jones.
- Brown.

1:03:49
Robinson. Now, Mr. Robinson,
I think we'll make it bye-byes.

1:03:52
A blanket for the commodore,
and we'll all go to bye-byes.

1:03:55
Robinson. I've heard that name before.
