:28:01
You knew the duke before?
:28:04
From Nice.
:28:05
We saw him every winter. He's fond of
gambling and came to our house often.
:28:11
He wears the same suit every evening.
He thinks it brings him luck.
:28:16
He's the dullest man I ever met.
:28:20
But he seems to be admired here.
:28:25
May I tell you what most
interests me about New York?
:28:29
Not all the blind obeying
of somebody else's tradition.
:28:33
It seems stupid to make America
a copy of another country.
:28:36
Would Columbus have taken such trouble
just to go to the opera with Lefferts?
:28:47
If he'd known Larry Lefferts were
here, he might never have left port.
:28:54
And May? Does she share these views?
:28:56
If she does, she'd never say so.
:28:59
Are you very much in love with her?
:29:02
As much as a man can be.
:29:04
Do you think there's a limit?
:29:10
If there is, I haven't found it.
:29:15
It's really and truly a romance then.
:29:18
Not in the least arranged?
:29:21
In our country, we don't allow
our marriages to be arranged.
:29:27
Yes, I forgot. I'm sorry.
:29:29
I sometimes make these mistakes.
:29:32
I don't always remember
that everything here is good...
:29:37
...that was bad where I came from.
:29:43
I'm so sorry.
:29:50
But you know you are
among friends here.
:29:53
Yes, I know. That's why I came home.
