:33:01
Yes, I guess I'm all right.
:33:03
I have a feeling that if I found myself
in trouble, I could count on you for help.
:33:08
You know that's true, Doctor.
:33:10
But sometimes a problem comes up
that's so difficult that...
:33:14
Why don't you try me?
:33:24
Miss Dickinson,
you could do me a great service.
:33:26
You see I'm desperately in need of a wife.
:33:32
- Please, don't misunderstand me.
- I never expected...
:33:35
I need a wife temporarily,
fifteen or twenty minutes.
:33:39
Fifteen or twenty minutes?
:33:41
I'm telling all of this very badly.
:33:43
I want someone
to play the part of my wife.
:33:46
- Someone like me.
- lf only you would.
:33:49
It wouldn't involve any...
:33:52
All you'd have to do is tell a certain person
that you want a divorce.
:33:56
You see,
I've suddenly decided to get married.
:33:58
- I guess I didn't tell you.
- No, you didn't tell me.
:34:01
Well, I have. Her name is Toni Simmons.
:34:03
I'm supposed to give you a message.
She's alive.
:34:07
That's only part of it.
:34:09
My problem is
she thinks I'm already married.
:34:11
Where did she get such an idea?
:34:13
I had my reasons.
:34:15
But I'll straighten that out later.
I have to dig up a wife.
:34:19
Stop digging and tell the girl the truth.
Good night.
:34:22
I can't tell her anything now.
She's liable to...
:34:26
Well, she's so young and she's had
a lot of unfortunate experiences.
:34:30
I'm the first decent man she's ever met.
:34:34
Are you quoting her, or you?
:34:36
Toni is a wonderful girl.
:34:38
She won't get married
unless she meets my wife.
:34:40
She's straightforward,
doesn't want to be a housebreaker.
:34:43
I mean, a house-wrecker. Isn't that sweet?
:34:45
- Just darling.
- She works at Stereo Heaven in the Village.
:34:48
- lf you would just go and meet her...
- I'm sorry. I hate lies.
:34:52
No more than I do, Miss Dickinson,
no more than I.
:34:56
But to get out of this one,
my happiness lies in your two hands.
