:05:01
Well, you know those police department
doctors, no sense of style.
:05:06
- Anyway, tomorrow will be the day.
- Why, what's tomorrow?
:05:10
Tomorrow?
The corset comes off tomorrow.
:05:13
I'll be able to scratch myself, I'll throw
this miserable thing out the window.
:05:18
Be a free... free man.
:05:21
Midge, do you suppose
many men wear corsets?
:05:24
- Mm, more than you think.
- Really?
:05:26
You know that
from personal experience?
:05:29
Please. What happens after tomorrow?
:05:33
- What do you mean?
- Well, what are you going to do?
:05:37
- Once you quit the police force.
- You sound so disapproving.
:05:41
No, it's your life. But you were
the bright young lawyer
:05:45
that decided he was going
to be chief of police someday.
:05:48
- I had to quit.
- Why?
:05:50
Because of this fear of heights I have,
this acrophobia.
:05:54
I wake up at nights seeing that man fall
from the roof and I try to reach out and...
:05:59
- It wasn't your fault.
- That's what everybody tells me.
:06:03
- Johnnie, the doctors explained...
- I know, I know.
:06:07
I have acrophobia
which gives me vertigo, and I get dizzy.
:06:11
Boy... what a moment to find out I had it.
:06:14
Well, there's no losing it.
There's no one to blame, so why quit?
:06:18
You mean sit behind a desk?
Chairborne.
:06:21
- Where you belong.
- What about my acrophobia? What...?
:06:25
Suppose I'm sitting
in this chair behind the desk
:06:28
and a pencil falls to the floor,
I reach down to pick it up,
:06:32
- bingo, my acrophobia's back.
- Oh, Johnnie-o.
:06:36
Well, what'll you do?
:06:38
I'm not going to do anything for a while.
:06:42
I'm a man of independent means,
as the saying goes.
:06:46
- Fairly independent.
- Mm.
:06:48
- Why don't you go away for a while?
- You mean to forget?
:06:52
Oh, Midge, don't be so motherly.
I'm not going to crack up.
:06:57
Have you had any dizzy spells
this week?
:06:59
I'm having one right now.
