1:09:03
Now we can talk.
1:09:07
I'm interrupting your reading.
How inconsiderate of me.

1:09:12
Nothing's more annoying than to have
someone interrupt your reading.

1:09:16
Daddy says it's a lack
of consideration for other people.

1:09:20
Where's your friend, the Ambassador?
1:09:23
He seems to have erased himself
completely during the voyage.

1:09:27
Daddy says that people who erase
themselves have a profound shyness...

1:09:32
which really means that they're
afraid of exposing themselves.

1:09:35
Hmm.
1:09:38
Oh, the silence is frightening.
1:09:41
Would you like some more music?
1:09:48
Mrs Martha Mears,
wife of Ambassador Ogden Mears...

1:09:51
will await her husband's arrival
in Honolulu this evening.

1:09:54
Rumours have been rife that
the Ambassador and his wife...

1:09:57
are getting a divorce.
1:09:58
Nevertheless, Mrs Mears says she will
accompany her husband to Washington.

1:10:03
- He's getting a divorce!
- Excuse me.

1:10:12
Your wife's waiting for you in Honolulu.
It just came over the radio.

1:10:16
I know. I just got a telegram.
1:10:18
She's coming aboard this evening
and she's not getting a divorce.

1:10:21
What about Natascha?
1:10:23
That's the problem.
1:10:25
You've got to think fast.
We arrive at 9.30.

1:10:28
- You've got to get her out of your cabin!
- Where's she gonna go?

1:10:32
- She can sleep in my cabin.
- That's out.

1:10:37
You didn't let me finish.
1:10:40
I could double in
with Crawford or Hudson.

1:10:42
Crawford and Hudson
are staying with two other fellows.

1:10:45
- You can't let her stay where she is.
- Obviously not.

1:10:50
I've got it. You can say
she's married to Hudson.

1:10:53
- Hudson?
- Say, that's an idea. If she was married
to an American citizen...

1:10:57
she could get into the States
without any trouble.
