:21:01
What are you talking about? I'm nothing.
:21:04
Like hell you are. You're fetching.
:21:06
- Fetching?
- Fetching.

:21:08
Dad liked to say that
about Mom, in Chicago.

:21:10
''Min,'' he'd say ''you're rather fetching.''
:21:15
Dad was a card. I never met him.
He died before the movie begins.

:21:18
Well, I have to confess, my eye
did always go to you up on the screen.

:21:23
- Really?
- Really.

:21:25
Even around Detective Simms
and Henry the playboy?

:21:28
Yes. Even though you're not the main
character, you're the one you look at.

:21:32
- You don't think I'm the main character?
- Oh, no, I didn't mean it that way.

:21:36
No, I think you're positively essential.
:21:40
In fact, every time I saw the movie, I kept
thinking ''Tom Baxter's so handsome.''

:21:50
- Shouldn't you be getting back?
- I wanna live.

:21:52
I wanna be free to make my own choices.
:21:55
Right now, the country's
not in such great shape.

:21:58
- What do you mean?
- We're in the middle of a depression.

:22:01
Everybody's very poor.
:22:03
I got plenty. Look at this.
:22:06
But... but they need you.
The story doesn't work without you.

:22:10
Cecilia, I'm in love with you.
:22:13
- I'm married.
- Happily?

:22:17
I really should get back home.
I have to cook dinner.

:22:20
Slip away from your husband tonight.
Meet me here. I'll wait.

:22:23
I want to learn about
the real world with you.

:22:26
I can't.
:22:28
Look at it this way. How many times
is a man so taken with a woman...

:22:31
..that he walks off the screen to get her?
:22:36
OK, OK, let's not panic. We're all adults.
:22:39
I'm bored. I'm a dramatic character.
I need forward motion.

:22:41
- It's the Countess and Larry.
- Where is everybody?

:22:44
- Weren't we meeting at the Copacabana?
- Tom's gone.

:22:47
- What?
- He left the film.

:22:48
- What?
- The bum walked out on us.

:22:50
But the Copa is where we meet.
I'm trying to get him to marry me.

:22:54
Forget it. I'm tired of marrying you
every night. We never get to the bedroom.

:22:58
- Where did Tom go?
- Into the real world.
