:26:01
She is here
on a student's visa.

:26:03
Her behavior is subject
to constant scrutiny.

:26:05
She could be expelled,
her passport picked up-

:26:07
Now, wait a minute. Now, wait a minute.
Alec, it is nothing like that.

:26:11
Jervis, I was on the terrace.
Now, I'm no eavesdropper...

:26:13
but I'd have to be deaf
not to overhear the conversation...

:26:16
- you and the young lady were having at the breakfast table.
- Like what?

:26:19
"Jervis, last night was
the most wonderful night of my life."

:26:23
Even the most generous
interpretation of that is horrifying.

:26:26
And serving her cocktails
at this hour.

:26:29
- Cocktails? Are you nuts?
- I distinctly heard the glasses clink.

:26:33
It was orange juice.
:26:35
Nobody clinks orange juice glasses.
I haven't been out of the country that long.

:26:38
- Alec, you've got it all wrong. I'm in love with the girl.
- Is she in love with you?

:26:42
I don't know. I was just about to ask her
when the darn phone rang, and it was you.

:26:45
I'm glad I was in time. What could
the poor girl have said but "yes"?

:26:49
- She could have said "no."
- Don't be ridiculous.

:26:50
You've obviously
swept her off her feet.

:26:52
You're older than she is.
That's always very attractive.

:26:55
- You're rich, and that's even more attractive.
- Mm-hmm.

:26:57
You've changed her life completely,
for which she must be very grateful.

:27:00
She doesn't know anything about that.
She doesn't know that I'm her Daddy-

:27:06
Daddy what?
Daddy Sugar?

:27:10
Oh, shut up.
:27:12
She only knows me as Jervis Pendleton,
the uncle of her roommate.

:27:14
The uncle of her roommate.
Doesn't that at least give you pause?

:27:18
Not particularly. I'm not the only man
she's met in America.

:27:22
Uh, she's also interested
in a Harvard graduate.

:27:24
Can he afford to bring her to New York
and entertain her in this style?

:27:27
- Well-
- Of course not. He's probably out looking for a job.

:27:30
He is not. He's working in Bolivia
in the tin mine. Now, if you'll excuse me-

:27:34
It wouldn't by any chance happen
to be the Pendleton tin mine, would it?

:27:40
Well, uh, he- he-
he needed a job, uh-

:27:43
And, well, what's the matter
with helping young people? Uh-

:27:45
It's an interesting hobby.
You seem to have embraced it vigorously.

:27:49
Well, he applied for a job in Africa.
The project blew up, and-

:27:52
and I just happened to have
an opening in Bolivia.

:27:56
King David.
:27:59
What are you
talking about?
