:14:00
I know. Women always know
when men are watching.
:14:04
Then maybe you noticed
the puzzle look on my face.
:14:06
And I keep asking myself
:14:08
how a girl pretty as you
can break swimming records,
:14:11
and how a girl
who can break swimming records
:14:13
and insists on
ballet dancing as a career.
:14:16
What's wrong with a ballet?
I don't know.
:14:18
I guess I've always
associated it
:14:19
with long hair and swans...
:14:21
And I'm more the desk class?
No. What I mean is,
:14:24
Whatever type you are,
it must be my type.
:14:29
I meet the girl
for the first time two days ago
:14:30
and I can't get her
out of my mind.
:14:32
I keep saying to myself.
Sullivan, this is without a doubt
:14:35
the prettiest girl
you've ever met.
:14:37
And a voice come back,
:14:38
nonsense, it's a tropical night
and the stars.
:14:41
You have jungle blood.
And then I replied,
:14:43
but you have seen
tropical nights before
:14:45
and you don't have
hot jungle blood.
:14:46
You're just a
crazy Irish man from Boston
:14:48
who runs the carnival.
:14:49
And what reply
did you get from that?
:14:51
None. I'm on my own now.
:14:54
Annette,
please don't think I'm forward
:14:56
but there's something
I must ask you.
:14:58
There's something
that I must get off my chest.
:15:02
Yes?
:15:03
Annette, I want to marry you.
:15:08
Marriage? Did you say marriage?
:15:11
Yes.
:15:13
What's the matter?
:15:14
Nothing. I'm sorry.
:15:15
Look, I know a fit
when I see one.
:15:17
If two thousand people
would come to see you in Sydney,
:15:19
five thousand, ten thousand
would pay to see you in London.
:15:22
I'll give the afternoon
twist a little zip.
:15:23
Not just swimming.
I can see it now.
:15:25
Annette Kellerman,
the Australian mermaid.
:15:28
Half woman half fish.
:15:30
I'll build you a little tank
and make you up
:15:31
to look like a real mermaid
with skilly fin and all.
:15:33
Well, you may be a bigger draw
than the kangaroo.
:15:35
I doubt it. Good evening.
:15:37
Mr. Sullivan,
for your information,
:15:38
my daughter is not
half woman half fish.
:15:41
She is, I assure you, all woman.
:15:43
I couldn't agree with you more.
:15:44
Furthermore,
she is not interested in swimming
:15:45
either professionally
or as a career,
:15:47
nor diving into a tank
nor wearing a mermaid's tail.
:15:50
Her soul interest is the ballet,
mine's the music.
:15:52
But, Mr. Keller...
I don't' wish to...
:15:53
...discuss it any further.
:15:54
But, look.
This is the greatest idea...
:15:58
Jimmy.
What's the matter?
:15:59
It's Sydney.
He broke loose again.
