- You wish to see me, sir?
- Yes, Hudson. Sit down.

1:11:12
Thank you, sir.
1:11:15
- Would you like a drink?
- Uh, no, thank you, sir.

1:11:18
Uh, Hudson, you are
an American citizen, aren't you?

1:11:21
I've been an American citizen
for the past 16 years, sir.

1:11:25
- Good. I want you to do me a favour.
- Yes, sir.

1:11:29
You remember that attractive lady
I was dancing with last night?

1:11:33
I do, sir.
1:11:35
Well, I want you to marry her.
1:11:39
- Marry who, sir?
- The lady I just mentioned.

1:11:42
It'll only be a temporary affair,
and afterwards, you can get a divorce.

1:11:45
If I may say so, sir,
this is rather sudden.

1:11:50
I think I will take
a brandy after all, sir.

1:11:53
I agree it's somewhat extemporaneous,
but it's a matter of urgency.

1:11:59
If the lady is married to
an American citizen...

1:12:01
she'll have little trouble
getting into the States.

1:12:04
And when does all this
happen, sir?

1:12:07
In about ten minutes.
1:12:11
- I still have to speak
to the lady, of course.
- She doesn't know yet?

1:12:15
Oh, no, not yet. But don't worry.
We're arranging that.

1:12:18
I think you should
be married before lunch.

1:12:22
You will have a brandy?
1:12:24
Make it a double, if you please, sir.
1:12:26
Double brandy, please.
I'll have the same. Thank you.

1:12:33
If I might ask a rather
connubial question, sir...

1:12:37
what happens this evening,
that is, tonight?

1:12:41
After the marriage.
1:12:43
Oh, nothing that
concerns you, Hudson.

1:12:45
You'll be sleeping in the same room,
but in different beds.

1:12:51
I think you should be
getting yourself ready.

1:12:55
I think you can wear an ordinary
lounge suit for the wedding.

1:12:59
- Yes, sir.
- Fine.
