:18:01
I'm Tom Baxter, poet, adventurer,
of the Chicago Baxters.

:18:04
I know you're Tom Baxter.
You wind up with Kitty Haynes. But...

:18:07
- Not any more.
- What do you mean?

:18:10
- I'm out before the wedding. I'm free.
- Don't you have to marry her?

:18:13
- Not if I'm here and she's there.
- Don't you want to? She's beautiful.

:18:16
- She's not for me. She's too bony.
- Kitty Haynes, the singer, is bony?

:18:20
I need a place to hide. Look, I'm never
going back, now that I've met you.

:18:25
A place to hide? A place to hide?
:18:28
- What's happening? What's going on?
- Tom's left. He just walked right out.

:18:32
I don't know how he did it. I can't get out.
:18:34
It's disgusting. I am an heiress.
I don't have to put up with this.

:18:37
He left the picture?
Oh, my gosh. Well, don't panic.

:18:41
Just stay up there and keep calm.
:18:43
- Calm? Are you crazy?
- Did you call for a priest?

:18:45
- Thank God you're here.
- Wait a minute. This is the second reel.

:18:49
- I'm not on till later.
- Can't you go on? There's an audience.

:18:52
Tom was the linchpin of the story.
- Although this is basically my story...

:18:57
- What do you mean, your story?
- Tom lays out the facts.

:18:59
- It's about a man's quest for fulfilment.
- It's about a complex, tortured soul.

:19:03
- About the effect of money on romance.
- I don't think...

:19:06
- My wealth, my private schools...
- I'm the one who marries royalty.

:19:11
- Nobody cares.
- A humble kid... What?

:19:13
- They wouldn't sell a ticket.
- A humble kid from a small town...

:19:16
- ..as far from royalty as you can get.
- Stop arguing.

:19:19
And do what?
- You should turn the projector off.

:19:22
No! Don't turn the projector off.
No, no. It gets black and we disappear.

:19:26
Easy, easy. Easy. Easy, my son.
We're all in this together.

:19:29
Yes, but you don't understand
what it's like to disappear.

:19:32
To be nothing. To be annihilated.
Don't turn the projector off.

:19:36
- Miss Rita, your bath is ready.
- Not now, dear.

:19:39
What's going on?
:19:41
- What's he doing here?
- Have a martini.

:19:43
- He shouldn't be here till reel six.
- We know that.

:19:46
- Somebody tryin' to hustle me?
- They're not trying to hustle you.

:19:51
I know what this is.
It's an amusement park.

:19:54
It's usually pretty dead
around here till summer.

:19:56
I know exactly what an amusement park
is, and what goes on. I do.
