is because usually he has a sort of
sixth sense about them, or thinks he has.

:27:07
Like a witch.
:27:08
Now, my five ordinary senses, what with
alcohol and the rest, are nothing special.

:27:13
But I have a sixth sense
:27:16
that any witch in the world would
give her left broomstick to have.

:27:19
And... with sense number six,
you feel something about me.

:27:24
Therefore, owing to circumstances which,
believe me, are beyond my control,

:27:30
I hereby advise you not to
come to Rome to make the test.

:27:34
Not to come to America.
At least, not for a while.

:27:37
- At least, not...
- At least, not to Mr Kirk Edwards.

:27:40
- Is that what you fear?
- Part of it.

:27:43
That's the only part I can put into words.
:27:46
Or perhaps you want me for yourself,
:27:49
and you are afraid Mr Edwards' money
will make him more attractive than you.

:27:53
What makes women think that money
makes a man feel more attractive?

:27:56
I never met a rich man who didn't think
he was being loved in spite of his money.

:28:01
- And you?
- Me? Well, I'm afraid I've had three wives.

:28:06
I've been around with actresses,
female writers, singers, painters,

:28:09
even a female agent.
:28:11
But I don't think I've met
more than three women in my life.

:28:15
Six months or so ago,
I fell in love with one of 'em.

:28:18
- Is she an actress?
- No, I told you. She's a woman.

:28:22
- Does she have to work?
- Script girl. Her name is Jerry.

:28:26
- She has the name of a man.
- There is no further resemblance.

:28:30
- What is a script girl?
- You find out.

:28:35
Apparently, your sense number six
has changed its mind.

:28:38
No, I've just come to the realisation
that it's none of my business.

:28:43
- You now want me to go?
- It's up to you.

:28:49
I have no fear of Mr Kirk Edwards.
:28:51
America is a rich and powerful country,
but you have no monopoly on evil men.

:28:56
I have known them
since I was a very little girl.

:28:59
- Not like Kirk.
- They did not have millions of dollars.
