: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.

:16:01
Where is he now?
Up at the Captain's bridge.

:16:02
Holy smoke. It'll be a wreck.
:16:06
Attention.
:16:09
Hold it still, Captain.
:16:19
But I don't understand.
:16:21
Is there no one running
the conservatory now?

:16:25
No one, sir.
I'm the only one here.

:16:28
Since poor Mr. Crooper died.
:16:30
They just closed the place down.
:16:33
I see. Well, thank you.
Thank you very much.

:16:47
Annette,
I don't know what to say.

:16:50
Most of our funds
were for passage.

:16:52
It's only one gate
is closed, Dad.

:16:55
Don't worry,
the Kellermans will always eat.
