:02:01
Wouldn't dare, Mrs. Leiningen.
:02:03
Very tough man, your husband.
:02:07
I haven't had a chance
to ask you before,
:02:09
but how well do you know
Mr. Leiningen?
:02:11
I brought him upriver on this
same boat, about 15 years ago.
:02:16
1886. July '86.
:02:20
What kind of man is he?
:02:24
I beg your pardon?
:02:26
What is Mr. Leiningen like?
:02:28
I thought you were his wife,
Mrs. Leiningen.
:02:31
I am. But I've never seen him.
:02:35
You've never seen your husband?
:02:39
I know it's not polite to ask
questions, and I won't,
:02:42
so I better get back to my work
before I can't stand it.
:02:49
The captain's confused.
:02:51
I've been asking questions
about my husband
:02:53
and now it's your turn.
:02:55
We're getting close
to your husband's land.
:02:57
It begins just beyond that next bend.
:03:00
I'd better start getting
my things together.
:03:03
There's no hurry.
:03:04
We won't reach his dock
until tomorrow.
:03:06
- Is it that large?
- There's more to it than size.
:03:10
This is another world,
Mrs. Leiningen.
:03:12
Beyond that next bend, your husband
has more power than a king.
:03:20
You know about me, don't you?
:03:22
You haven't mentioned it
the whole trip,
:03:24
but I think you know all about me.
:03:28
Your name was Joanna Selby.
You're 25 years old.
:03:31
You come from New Orleans.
You married Mr. Leiningen by proxy.
:03:34
- You've never seen each other...
- Oh, you know a great deal.
:03:37
When your part of the marriage
ceremony was performed,
:03:39
Mr. Leiningen's brother
acted in his place.
:03:42
When the marriage by proxy
was performed here,
:03:44
I took your place.
:03:45
I was very good.
:03:47
I also performed the ceremony.
:03:49
Well, you're almost one of the family.
:03:51
Well, as commissioner
of this area for my government,
:03:53
I have to know everything.
:03:55
And besides,
I'm what you call nosy.
:03:59
Will you be stopping off
at my husband's place?
