You've had one postponement already.

0:01:210:01:22

All right. All right!

0:01:220:01:24

The case is postponed till next Thursday.

0:01:240:01:27

Now, that'll be the 26th.

0:01:270:01:29

Thank you, Your Honour.

0:01:290:01:31

Be here.

0:01:310:01:33

Are the parties ready in the matter

0:01:330:01:35

of Ellen Wagstaff Arden?

0:01:350:01:37

Here.

0:01:370:01:39

Good morning, Your Honour.

0:01:430:01:45

Good morning. Just a moment.

0:01:450:01:47

Wasn't I supposed to marry somebody?

0:01:470:01:50

Yes, Your Honour.

0:01:500:01:52

Let's get it over with.

0:01:520:01:53

This can wait.

0:01:530:01:54

This is a very complicated case.

0:01:540:01:57

But, Your Honour-

0:01:570:01:58

yes, this is very complicated.

0:01:580:02:00

Your honour, please...

0:02:000:02:02

Your Honour.

0:02:020:02:03

What?

0:02:030:02:04

Says what?

0:02:050:02:07

(She's dead.)

0:02:060:02:08

What's that?

0:02:080:02:09

Who's dead?!

0:02:090:02:11

HE WHISPERS

0:02:110:02:14

Oh. Oh, that's sad.

0:02:140:02:16

That's very sad.

0:02:160:02:17

If Your Honour please...

0:02:170:02:19

You're Arden?

0:02:190:02:20

< Yes.

0:02:200:02:21

That's what I thought.

0:02:210:02:23

Well, Mr Arden,

0:02:230:02:25

I understand your wife, Ellen Wagstaff Arden,

0:02:250:02:28

was a member of an anthropological expedition

0:02:280:02:31

shipwrecked off the coast of Indochina.

0:02:300:02:33

What was she doing on an expedition?

0:02:330:02:36

Mother of two infant children.

0:02:360:02:39

Well, you'll find the circumstances in my brief.

0:02:390:02:42

"Ellen Wagstaff Arden was engaged as photographer

0:02:420:02:45

"for three months."

0:02:450:02:46

We were going to take the trip together,

0:02:460:02:49

but, well, I became involved in a case and couldn't leave.

0:02:490:02:54

She decided she'd like to take the trip herself.

0:02:530:02:57

She needed a change. Tough time with the children, teething...

0:02:570:03:00

Just the facts. Never mind teething.

0:03:000:03:02

You're a lawyer. Stick to the facts.

0:03:020:03:04

Yes, Your Honour. They're in my brief, sir.

0:03:040:03:07

Let me read it. Stop interrupting.

0:03:070:03:09

Yes, Your Honour.

0:03:090:03:11

When did you say the ship went down?

0:03:110:03:14

Er, page seven. September 3, 1932.

0:03:140:03:17

It's page seven.

0:03:160:03:18

Never mind. I'll find it.

0:03:180:03:20

No, sir. Page seven. This is page four.

0:03:230:03:26

I know it's four. I know that.

0:03:260:03:29

Oh, here it is. It's page seven.

0:03:310:03:33

Oh, that...

0:03:350:03:37

"Last seen entering one of the lifeboats when..."

0:03:370:03:40

I can't see.

0:03:400:03:42

"..When a wave..."

0:03:420:03:43

Oh, that's very sad.

0:03:430:03:45

Very sad.

0:03:450:03:47

What the...?

0:03:470:03:48

Hey!

0:03:480:03:49

Young woman,

0:03:490:03:51

what do you think you're doing?

0:03:510:03:53

Put that confounded mirror away.

0:03:530:03:55

Do you want to blind me?

0:03:550:03:57

Sorry.

0:03:570:03:58

Huh! Ought to wash her face instead of paint it.

0:03:580:04:02

There's such a thing as contempt of court.

0:04:020:04:05

Don't let me get after you. Huh!

0:04:050:04:08

Where was I?

0:04:080:04:10

The shipwreck, sir.

0:04:090:04:11

What efforts did you make to trace your wife?

0:04:110:04:14

Page eight.

0:04:140:04:16

I went to Bangkok and interviewed all available survivors,

0:04:160:04:19

who agreed Ellen Wagstaff Arden...

0:04:190:04:21

"..had been swept overboard before aid could reach her.

0:04:210:04:23

Deposition...

0:04:230:04:24

Quiet!

0:04:240:04:25

But I'd like to explain...

0:04:250:04:28

There's nothing to explain at all.

0:04:280:04:30

The testimony's here. Sworn affidavits.

0:04:310:04:34

No evidence to the contrary. The law is clear.

0:04:340:04:38

I hereby pronounce Ellen Wagstaff Arden

0:04:380:04:41

legally dead.

0:04:410:04:42

Wasn't I supposed to marry somebody?

0:04:420:04:44

Er, yes, sir. Us.

0:04:440:04:46

What? What?

0:04:460:04:48

Are you going to get married again?

0:04:480:04:51

Yes, Your Honour.

0:04:510:04:52

Have you thought it over?

0:04:520:04:54

Mr Arden is over 21.

0:04:540:04:56

Not now, Bianca.

0:04:560:04:57

All right. Ahem. Hold hands.

0:04:590:05:01

Er... "We are gathered here

0:05:030:05:05

"in the presence of these witnesses

0:05:050:05:07

"to join in matrimony this man and this woman

0:05:070:05:11

"according to the powers vested in me by the state..."

0:05:110:05:14

Is this it? Yeah.

0:05:250:05:26

Thanks for the lift. SHE SNIFFS

0:05:360:05:38

Are you crying?

0:05:380:05:40

This is my house. I live here.

0:05:400:05:42

So what? Is that bad?

0:05:420:05:45

No.

0:05:450:05:46

Bye.

0:05:460:05:47

GIRL: Watch me do a swan dive!

0:05:490:05:52

BOY: I can do it better!

0:05:510:05:54

Watch me this time!

0:05:540:05:56

You're not supposed to run.

0:05:560:05:58

BOY: Last one in is a sissy!

0:05:580:05:59

I don't want to go in.

0:05:590:06:02

< Boy, it's like an iceberg in here.

0:06:030:06:06

< Woo!

0:06:060:06:08

Hello.

0:06:150:06:16

Hello.

0:06:160:06:17

Hello there.

0:06:170:06:18

Hello.

0:06:180:06:19

Are you a lady or a man?

0:06:190:06:22

Well, I used to be a lady.

0:06:220:06:25

Are you a sailor? A lady sailor?

0:06:250:06:28

Well...

0:06:280:06:29

My mother went down in a shipwreck.

0:06:290:06:32

Oh, he's always boasting.

0:06:320:06:34

I'm not boasting. My mother drowned.

0:06:340:06:36

We're not supposed to know.

0:06:360:06:38

Do you miss her very much?

0:06:380:06:41

Oh, sure.

0:06:410:06:43

Would you like to have her back?

0:06:430:06:46

We can't. She's drowned.

0:06:460:06:48

I'm a human fly.

0:06:490:06:51

We put flowers on her grave every Easter.

0:06:510:06:54

You do?

0:06:540:06:55

Then daddy buys us hamburgers and root beer.

0:06:550:06:58

Do you mind those braces very much?

0:07:000:07:03

Yes.

0:07:030:07:04

Daddy doesn't want her to look like a moose.

0:07:040:07:07

What a thing to say.

0:07:070:07:11

DOG BARKS

0:07:110:07:12

Well, hello!

0:07:120:07:15

WOOF!

0:07:150:07:16

Oh! Oh, how are you?

0:07:160:07:18

BOY: Corky, get away from there!

0:07:180:07:20

He never acts that way with strangers.

0:07:200:07:23

My, you've gotten fat!

0:07:230:07:26

Sure, he's fat. He's as old as me.

0:07:260:07:29

Corky, you listen!

0:07:290:07:30

Is your grandmother in?

0:07:310:07:33

I forgot. We're not allowed to talk to strangers.

0:07:330:07:36

Is your grandmother in?

0:07:380:07:40

We're not allowed to talk to strangers.

0:07:400:07:42

Come here, Corky!

0:07:420:07:44

Come on! Come on, Corky! Come on!

0:07:440:07:47

Come on! Atta-boy!

0:07:470:07:49

WOOF!

0:07:490:07:50

WOMAN: ...To the exchange department.

0:07:530:07:54

I've already phoned them.

0:07:540:07:56

They know all about it.

0:07:560:07:58

The package is in my room.

0:07:580:08:00

Get some flowers.

0:08:000:08:02

MAN: Any particular kind?

0:08:020:08:03

She likes tea roses.

0:08:030:08:05

Yes, ma'am.

0:08:050:08:06

That's all.

0:08:060:08:08

Yes? What is it?

0:08:190:08:20

Hello, darling.

0:08:200:08:22

Ellen.

0:08:240:08:25

Good heavens!

0:08:280:08:29

Ellen!

0:08:290:08:31

Now, now. Take it easy.

0:08:310:08:33

Here. Take some of this.

0:08:330:08:35

It'll do you good.

0:08:350:08:37

There.

0:08:380:08:40

You all right?

0:08:390:08:41

I just can't believe it.

0:08:410:08:43

Bless your heart.

0:08:430:08:44

After all these years, it just isn't possible.

0:08:440:08:47

Oh, is it really you, Ellen?

0:08:470:08:50

Of course it is.

0:08:500:08:52

Oh.

0:08:520:08:53

How's Nicky?

0:08:540:08:56

Nicky?

0:08:560:08:57

Your son, my husband. He's all right, isn't he?

0:08:570:09:00

Oh, yes, Nicky's fine. Fine.

0:09:000:09:02

Oh, good.

0:09:020:09:04

Ellen, where have you been?

0:09:080:09:10

Latitude 12, longitude 128.

0:09:110:09:14

I'd still be there if a Portuguese freighter

0:09:140:09:17

hadn't wandered off its course.

0:09:170:09:19

What?

0:09:190:09:20

It was a very small freighter.

0:09:200:09:22

Very dirty.

0:09:220:09:24

Mother.

0:09:260:09:27

Yes?

0:09:270:09:28

May I have a bath?

0:09:280:09:30

Of course, dear.

0:09:300:09:31

Right now.

0:09:310:09:33

I'm sorry I frightened you.

0:09:330:09:34

It was nothing.

0:09:340:09:36

Oh, that's new.

0:09:360:09:37

Mm-hmm.

0:09:370:09:38

I like that.

0:09:380:09:40

I'm so confused.

0:09:400:09:41

By the way, how was my funeral?

0:09:410:09:44

Lovely.

0:09:440:09:45

Dr Blake preached a wonderful sermon.

0:09:450:09:47

Oh, I wish I'd been there.

0:09:470:09:50

Oh.

0:09:500:09:52

# La la-la la-la

0:09:540:09:55

# La-la-la la la la

0:09:550:09:57

# La la la la la-la la-la

0:09:570:10:00

# La la la la... #

0:10:000:10:02

Oh, this was wonderful!

0:10:020:10:04

First hot bath in years!

0:10:040:10:06

# La-la-la-la la la

0:10:070:10:10

# Hmm hmm... #

0:10:100:10:12

Tell me about Nicky.

0:10:120:10:14

Handsome as ever?

0:10:140:10:15

I think so.

0:10:150:10:16

Prosperous?

0:10:160:10:17

Yes.

0:10:170:10:18

Where is he?

0:10:180:10:20

# Hmm hmm hmm... #

0:10:200:10:22

Ellen, there's something I've got to tell you.

0:10:220:10:26

Nick's married again.

0:10:260:10:27

# La... #

0:10:270:10:28

He is?

0:10:280:10:31

Is she nice?

0:10:390:10:41

No.

0:10:410:10:43

Do I know her? Nancy Beal, I'll bet.

0:10:450:10:48

She always had her eye...

0:10:480:10:50

No. He met this one on the boat,

0:10:500:10:52

when he went to look for you.

0:10:520:10:55

That's one thing I never thought of,

0:11:000:11:02

Nick's marrying again.

0:11:020:11:04

Just how long did he wait?

0:11:060:11:08

Well, he got married this morning.

0:11:080:11:11

Went off to Yosemite for the honeymoon.

0:11:110:11:14

The same hotel we...

0:11:140:11:15

Nick had business in San Francisco.

0:11:150:11:18

Ellen, what are you doing?

0:11:180:11:20

Oh! Have you got anything I can wear?

0:11:230:11:26

I saved a few of your old things.

0:11:260:11:28

Good. Something nice?

0:11:280:11:30

I think so. Maybe a little long.

0:11:300:11:33

Oh, do planes fly to Yosemite?

0:11:330:11:35

Yes. What are you going to do?

0:11:350:11:38

I hope I'm not too late!

0:11:380:11:40

Is Mr Arden here? Mr Nicholas Arden?

0:11:580:12:00

Mr Arden hasn't arrived yet.

0:12:000:12:02

Whoo!

0:12:020:12:03

Are you the bride, by any chance?

0:12:030:12:06

No. No, not exactly.

0:12:050:12:07

I'll just wait.

0:12:090:12:11

My name is Arden.

0:13:190:13:21

Oh, yes. Sorry.

0:13:210:13:23

I believe that, er...

0:13:230:13:24

Huh?

0:13:280:13:29

Oh, nothing.

0:13:280:13:30

Suite "A."

0:13:300:13:31

Suite "A"?

0:13:310:13:33

It's our best.

0:13:330:13:34

I'd rather not.

0:13:340:13:35

Pardon?

0:13:350:13:36

Have you anything else?

0:13:360:13:38

Suite "C."

0:13:380:13:40

I, er...

0:13:420:13:44

I couldn't take that suite "A"

0:13:440:13:46

because, er...

0:13:460:13:48

..because I've been here before.

0:13:490:13:51

Sorry to keep you waiting, dear.

0:13:590:14:02

Nick!

0:14:090:14:11

Funny. I thought I, er...

0:14:150:14:17

Oh! Silly. Silly.

0:14:170:14:18

Exciting, isn't it?

0:14:180:14:20

Hmm.

0:14:200:14:21

I'll take this, please.

0:14:290:14:30

Yes, ma'am.

0:14:300:14:31

Anything else, sir?

0:14:430:14:45

Hmm? Oh!

0:14:450:14:46

No.

0:14:460:14:47

Thank you, sir.

0:14:470:14:49

Oh, darling.

0:14:500:14:51

Oh.

0:14:510:14:52

KNOCK ON DOOR

0:14:520:14:54

Yes?

0:14:540:14:56

Waiter.

0:14:560:14:57

Why, Nicky, how nice.

0:15:010:15:03

Shall I open it, sir?

0:15:030:15:05

Certainly.

0:15:050:15:06

There must be a mistake.

0:15:060:15:08

No mistake, sir. With the compliments of an old friend.

0:15:080:15:12

POP!

0:15:120:15:13

It's Mumm, 1921.

0:15:130:15:14

I've got to go down!

0:15:160:15:18

What on earth for?

0:15:180:15:20

I've got to get change.

0:15:200:15:22

I have loads of change.

0:15:220:15:24

Thank you, madam.

0:15:240:15:25

I'll be right back.

0:15:270:15:28

No matches. See? No matches.

0:15:280:15:30

Be careful, Nicky!

0:15:300:15:32

Plenty of matches.

0:15:320:15:33

Plenty of matches.

0:15:330:15:35

RING! RING! RING!

0:15:430:15:45

I was expecting a call...

0:15:450:15:47

Hello? Did you ring here?

0:15:470:15:49

Thank you.

0:15:490:15:50

I was expecting a call.

0:15:500:15:52

Is something the matter?

0:15:520:15:54

No.

0:15:540:15:55

I have a surprise for you.

0:15:550:15:58

Like?

0:15:590:16:00

Fine.

0:16:000:16:01

Try it on. I have one, too.

0:16:010:16:04

Quite an idea.

0:16:040:16:05

You know what I need?

0:16:050:16:07

A shave. I'll go to the barber shop.

0:16:070:16:10

Your skin's like a baby's.

0:16:100:16:12

I feel like an ape.

0:16:120:16:14

I don't mind.

0:16:140:16:15

Well, I don't feel right.

0:16:150:16:17

Why don't you shave yourself? I'll watch.

0:16:170:16:20

Remember Victoria always watched Albert.

0:16:200:16:22

Who?

0:16:220:16:23

Prince Albert and Queen Victoria.

0:16:230:16:25

He didn't hack himself to pieces.

0:16:250:16:27

I'll be back.

0:16:270:16:29

Hurry.

0:16:290:16:30

Right back.

0:16:300:16:31

Ellen.

0:16:580:17:01

Hello.

0:17:010:17:02

That's all I wanted to know.

0:17:120:17:14

MAN: There's an ordinance in this state

0:17:140:17:17

that don't allow necking in bar rooms.

0:17:170:17:19

Oh, yes. Er...

0:17:190:17:22

Look-look, let's go somewhere

0:17:220:17:24

where we can talk, huh?

0:17:240:17:26

Where?

0:17:260:17:27

To your room.

0:17:270:17:29

Haven't got a room.

0:17:280:17:30

Oh.

0:17:300:17:31

Oh, well, I'll get you one, huh?

0:17:310:17:34

Yes?

0:17:380:17:39

I'd like another room.

0:17:390:17:40

Hmm?

0:17:400:17:41

Why, certainly, sir.

0:17:450:17:47

Yeah. Thank you very much.

0:17:470:17:49

Er, is, er, is suite "A" available?

0:17:490:17:52

Suite "A"?

0:17:520:17:54

Yes, suite "A."

0:17:540:17:55

Front. Suite "A."

0:17:550:17:57

Er, have you any luggage, miss?

0:17:590:18:01

Oh, yes, I have. If you will send for it.

0:18:010:18:05

It's at the airport.

0:18:050:18:07

Airport.

0:18:070:18:08

Thank you.

0:18:080:18:09

Very much.

0:18:090:18:10

What a man.

0:18:170:18:18

Hello, Operator,

0:18:430:18:45

Yes.

Mr Arden?

0:18:460:18:48

Oh.

0:18:480:18:49

Yes, he's here.

0:18:490:18:51

It's for you.

0:18:500:18:52

Guess who.

0:18:530:18:55

Hello?

0:18:560:18:57

Mr Arden, if you're free,

0:18:570:18:59

Mrs Arden would like to see you.

0:18:590:19:01

Now, look here, my good...

0:19:010:19:03

Well, all right.

0:19:030:19:05

What's the matter, Nick?

0:19:080:19:10

Bride wondering where you are?

0:19:100:19:12

You'll have to face it, you know.

0:19:120:19:15

Yes, I know. What will I say?

0:19:140:19:17

That depends on what you feel.

0:19:170:19:19

I want to do the right thing by everybody.

0:19:190:19:22

Go ahead.

0:19:220:19:23

It's not as easy as that.

0:19:230:19:26

You see, Bianca's very sensitive.

0:19:260:19:28

She's high-strung.

0:19:280:19:29

Oh, one of those.

0:19:290:19:31

This will be a horrible shock.

0:19:310:19:33

How will she face her family, her friends?

0:19:330:19:36

Are you in love with her?

0:19:360:19:38

You must have told her you were, didn't you?

0:19:410:19:44

Well...

0:19:440:19:45

Sure, you did.

0:19:450:19:46

All right. Sure, I did.

0:19:460:19:48

How could you?

0:19:480:19:50

Well, I thought you...

0:19:500:19:52

I didn't know.

0:19:510:19:53

The minute my back was turned!

0:19:530:19:55

Minute?

0:19:550:19:56

Oh, Nick. Look at you.

0:19:560:19:59

No, don't kid, honey. It's too serious.

TELEPHONE RINGS

0:20:020:20:04

I'll get it.

0:20:030:20:05

It's for me. It's for me.

0:20:050:20:07

RING!

0:20:070:20:09

Hello?

0:20:090:20:11

Mr Arden, we don't like to interfere

0:20:110:20:13

with the privacy of our guests.

0:20:130:20:16

We mind our own business.

0:20:160:20:18

But your wife, Mr Arden,

0:20:180:20:20

is calling for you again!

0:20:200:20:22

Tell my wife I'll be right up.

0:20:220:20:25

I'm still being shaved.

0:20:250:20:27

< Ha ha ha!

0:20:270:20:29

You know, I've got a feeling you're enjoying my misery.

0:20:290:20:33

Would she make a good mother?

0:20:330:20:36

Was that the attraction?

0:20:360:20:37

That's it!

0:20:370:20:39

You thought she'd be good for the children?

0:20:390:20:41

Of course.

0:20:410:20:43

I understand that.

0:20:430:20:44

Don't believe me?

0:20:440:20:46

I'm just facing facts.

0:20:460:20:48

You ask this woman to be your wife

0:20:480:20:51

and mother of MY children.

0:20:500:20:52

That takes a lot of love.

0:20:520:20:54

Sure you don't love her?

0:20:540:20:56

After seeing you downstairs, I knew...

0:20:560:20:58

Bet you say that to all your wives.

0:20:580:21:01

I could strangle you.

0:21:010:21:03

Hey, that's a way out.

0:21:030:21:05

I can't say, "my mistake. Marriage is off,"

0:21:050:21:08

can I?

0:21:080:21:09

Mm-mmm.

0:21:090:21:10

What am I, a dope?

0:21:100:21:11

Look.

0:21:110:21:13

What?

0:21:130:21:14

Let's try something like this.

0:21:140:21:17

Um, I'll be, um... what was that name?

0:21:160:21:20

Bianca.

0:21:200:21:21

Bianca. Ha ha!

0:21:210:21:24

All right, I'm Bianca.

0:21:230:21:25

Now, you come in.

0:21:250:21:27

Come on, come in.

0:21:270:21:29

You...come in.

0:21:290:21:30

All right, I'm in.

0:21:300:21:32

Yeah. Now, er, say something.

0:21:320:21:35

Hello, Bianca.

0:21:370:21:39

Oh, that's good!

0:21:390:21:40

Now, she'll say, um,

0:21:400:21:42

"Hello, darling.

0:21:420:21:45

"Really, you've been a terribly long time."

0:21:440:21:48

She doesn't talk like that.

0:21:480:21:50

Then she'll say,

0:21:500:21:51

"Darling, aren't you going to kiss me?"

0:21:510:21:55

Well, come on.

0:21:560:21:59

This is silly.

0:21:580:22:00

Do it. Do it anyway.

0:22:000:22:02

Oh.

0:22:020:22:03

Come on.

0:22:030:22:05

All right.

0:22:050:22:06

I mean do it from the beginning.

0:22:060:22:09

Go out and come in again.

0:22:090:22:11

I'll play if it'll make you happy.

0:22:110:22:14

You say, "Hello, Bianca."

0:22:140:22:16

I say, "Aren't you going to kiss me?"

0:22:160:22:18

Kiss you.

0:22:180:22:20

Was that for Bianca?

0:22:270:22:29

KNOCK ON DOOR

0:22:290:22:30

DOOR OPENS

0:22:300:22:32

Madam's luggage.

0:22:330:22:34

Could I see you a moment?

0:22:400:22:42

Sure.

0:22:420:22:43

Excuse me, dear.

0:22:430:22:45

We run a first-class hotel, Mr Arden,

0:22:560:22:59

and we don't like involvement in an intrigue.

0:22:590:23:02

We've maintained a reputation for respectability

0:23:020:23:05

for 33 years,

0:23:050:23:06

and we don't intend to lose it in one night!

0:23:060:23:10

My reputation for respectability

0:23:100:23:12

is as high as your hotel's!

0:23:120:23:14

And don't forget mine!

0:23:140:23:16

It's a very simple situation, mister.

0:23:160:23:19

Explain it to him, Nick.

0:23:190:23:21

All right, I will.

0:23:210:23:23

I came up here with my wife... my bride, really.

0:23:230:23:26

Now, my wife - not my bride, my wife...

0:23:260:23:30

Well, why should I bore you with the details?

0:23:300:23:33

I won't be bored.

0:23:330:23:35

Listen.

0:23:350:23:36

Now, it's as simple as A, B, C.

0:23:360:23:39

Don't tell me you've got somebody in "B."

0:23:390:23:42

B...

0:23:420:23:43

You better go.

0:23:430:23:45

If you please.

0:23:450:23:46

I'll be back.

0:23:480:23:49

I'm afraid not.

0:23:490:23:51

Now...

0:23:510:23:52

Goodbye, Nick.

0:23:520:23:53

Locked.

0:23:590:24:01

I have a pass key.

0:24:010:24:03

Oh, a pass key.

0:24:030:24:04

You people think of everything, don't you?

0:24:040:24:07

Pass key.

0:24:070:24:08

No hard feelings?

0:24:080:24:10

No, no, no.

0:24:100:24:12

Relax, will you?

0:24:110:24:13

< Nick, is that you?

0:24:160:24:18

I'll be right out, darling.

0:24:180:24:20

Nick?

0:24:270:24:28

(Remember when we got in the elevator,)

0:24:320:24:34

(and the door was closing?)

0:24:340:24:36

(Well, that's when...)

0:24:360:24:37

(When I first noticed it, Bianca)

0:24:400:24:43

(Er, now, Bianca, this is the situation.)

0:24:430:24:46

(This hurts me more than it hurts you.)

0:24:460:24:48

(No, that's no good.)

0:24:480:24:50

(I'll start all over again.)

0:24:500:24:52

(Now, Bianca...)

0:24:540:24:55

(Bianca, this is the situation.)

0:24:550:24:57

(Something's come up - my wife.)

0:24:570:24:59

(Truth is stranger than fiction.)

0:24:590:25:01

(This is the situation...)

0:25:080:25:10

(My wife...)

0:25:090:25:11

There are children to be considered.

0:25:110:25:14

Even a tiger fights for its young. That's good.

0:25:130:25:17

There's something between two people who have been married

0:25:170:25:20

that you don't get between two people

0:25:200:25:23

who haven't been married, Bianca.

0:25:230:25:25

Now be big. Be brave.

0:25:250:25:27

You will, Bianca? Fine!

0:25:270:25:29

Can I use your phone?

0:25:330:25:35

Oh!

0:25:460:25:47

Hello? Give me Mrs Arden in suite "C," please.

0:25:480:25:53

(Bianca, something's come up - my wife.)

0:25:530:25:55

(Truth is stranger than fiction.)

0:25:550:25:57

Mrs Arden, there's a call for you.

0:25:570:26:00

This way, please.

0:26:000:26:01

(Something's come up - my wife.)

0:26:030:26:04

(Truth is stranger than fiction.)

0:26:040:26:06

(Truth is stranger than fiction.)

0:26:060:26:08

(Truth is stranger than fiction.)

0:26:080:26:10

(This is the situation.)

0:26:110:26:13

Hello?

0:26:130:26:15

Oh, hello?

0:26:150:26:16

This hurts me more than it hurts you.

0:26:160:26:19

Something's come up.

0:26:190:26:20

Why don't you come up?

0:26:200:26:22

No! I mean, I can't.

0:26:220:26:24

< Why not?

0:26:240:26:25

I'm in Carmel.

0:26:250:26:27

Carmel?

0:26:270:26:28

Yes, I'm flying.

0:26:280:26:30

That client of mine in San Francisco

0:26:300:26:32

told me to come up immediately.

0:26:320:26:35

You might have told me!

0:26:350:26:37

I can't hear you.

0:26:370:26:39

< I'm not staying here alone!

0:26:390:26:41

Propellers!

0:26:410:26:42

Come back here!

0:26:420:26:44

< Tell your client to wait!

0:26:440:26:46

CLANK!

0:26:460:26:47

Propellers, see?

0:26:470:26:49

You come back!

0:26:490:26:51

What? No. Got to run!

0:26:510:26:53

We're taking off. I've got to run!

0:26:530:26:56

Goodbye!

0:26:560:26:58

Oh!

0:26:580:26:59

Oh!

0:27:080:27:09

We went to the Planetarium.

0:27:090:27:11

Look what I got.

0:27:110:27:12

That's wonderful. Run along upstairs.

0:27:120:27:14

Tell me about it later.

0:27:140:27:16

We went to the zoo, too.

0:27:160:27:19

Oh, I'm exhausted.

0:27:190:27:20

Did you tell them who you are?

0:27:200:27:23

No. I came pretty close to it once or twice.

0:27:230:27:27

Oh, Ellen.

0:27:270:27:28

You can't expect me to play a tender scene

0:27:280:27:32

in front of the elephants.

0:27:320:27:34

Did you hear from Nick?

0:27:340:27:35

No, not a word. It's funny.

0:27:350:27:38

Not to me. Think he's having trouble telling her?

0:27:380:27:41

He's had a night and a day.

0:27:410:27:44

That ought to be long enough.

0:27:440:27:46

It's too long.

0:27:460:27:48

You owe me an explanation.

0:27:490:27:51

Yes, I do.

0:27:510:27:53

Well?

0:27:530:27:55

When we get home.

0:27:550:27:58

..Father's cherry tree.

0:28:020:28:03

When his father came to see, he stood tall like me.

0:28:030:28:06

He told the truth about that tree.

0:28:060:28:09

He was no coward. Not he.

0:28:090:28:11

Great. Where did you learn that one?

0:28:110:28:14

Oh, around.

0:28:140:28:15

Did you know any pieces when you were little?

0:28:150:28:19

Yes. Let's see... Oh, here's one.

0:28:190:28:22

SOUTHERN ACCENT: In old Kentuck, where I was born,

0:28:220:28:25

there ain't no yanks

0:28:250:28:26

and there ain't no corn,

0:28:260:28:29

but the gals and the horses can't be beat.

0:28:290:28:32

To live down south is sure a treat.

0:28:320:28:35

How come you talk like that?

0:28:350:28:37

Didn't y'all hear anybody talk like that before?

0:28:370:28:40

No. Did it take long to learn it?

0:28:400:28:43

No. Everybody talks like that where I'm from...

0:28:430:28:45

even your mother.

0:28:450:28:47

She did?

0:28:470:28:49

Uh-huh.

0:28:490:28:50

Before she drowned?

0:28:500:28:52

Nobody talks after they're drowned.

0:28:520:28:54

Sometimes they do.

0:28:540:28:55

Eh!

0:28:550:28:57

I mean, they're not really drowned.

0:28:570:28:59

People just think they are,

0:28:590:29:02

but they're not, see?

0:29:020:29:04

My mother wouldn't do anything silly like that -

0:29:040:29:07

talk after she was drowned.

0:29:070:29:09

Why, that's ridiculous.

0:29:090:29:10

Yes, isn't it?

0:29:130:29:14

Any more pieces?

0:29:140:29:16

It's getting late. Get ready for dinner.

0:29:160:29:19

Not yet.

0:29:190:29:20

Go on, Timmy.

0:29:200:29:22

See you later.

0:29:210:29:23

OK. Go on, darling.

0:29:230:29:25

HONK HONK

0:29:260:29:28

Well.

0:29:280:29:30

Hello, Chinch, dear. How are you?

0:29:310:29:34

You're getting heavy.

0:29:330:29:35

Hello, Dad.

0:29:350:29:36

Tim, what did I tell you? Keep them high.

0:29:360:29:40

Hello.

0:29:400:29:41

Hello, Miss Bates.

0:29:410:29:43

Oh!

0:29:430:29:44

He's brought her home.

0:29:440:29:46

Don't you suppose he's told her?

0:29:460:29:49

I guess not.

0:29:490:29:51

It would be better if you weren't here.

0:29:510:29:54

Why should I leave?

0:29:540:29:56

It'll be a little awkward.

0:29:550:29:57

I know. I know.

0:29:570:30:00

Tell her I'm an old friend

0:30:000:30:02

from the south.

0:30:020:30:04

Go in and wash up. It's time for dinner.

0:30:040:30:08

It's not 6.00.

0:30:080:30:09

Don't argue! In you go!

0:30:090:30:11

Yes, sir.

0:30:110:30:13

Why don't you tell them I'm their new mother?

0:30:180:30:21

Didn't I do that?

0:30:210:30:23

I didn't want to confuse them.

0:30:230:30:25

Confuse them?

0:30:250:30:27

I mean, I'm confused. Driving and all that.

0:30:270:30:29

Aren't you going to carry me across the threshold?

0:30:320:30:35

It's good luck.

0:30:370:30:39

Oh, sure.

0:30:390:30:41

Ooh.

0:30:420:30:43

SOUTHERN ACCENT: Hiya, Nicholas, honey!

0:30:490:30:51

Surprised?

0:30:510:30:53

Oh!

0:30:530:30:54

Y'all mind if I kiss the bridegroom?

0:30:540:30:57

Not at all.

0:30:560:30:58

Just one big, sisterly kiss.

0:30:580:31:01

Ha ha! There!

0:31:040:31:05

Ah, ha!

0:31:050:31:07

She's visiting with us.

0:31:070:31:09

Her mother and I went to school together

0:31:090:31:12

in Virginia.

0:31:120:31:14

She's like my own daughter.

0:31:130:31:15

How nice.

0:31:150:31:17

Isn't he the sweetest thing?

0:31:170:31:19

I used to just adore him.

0:31:180:31:21

He was the darlingest boy you ever did see,

0:31:210:31:24

but faithless! Mmm.

0:31:240:31:26

Just like a bumblebee going from flower to flower.

0:31:260:31:29

Ha ha!

0:31:290:31:31

Oh, I was only fooling, honey.

0:31:310:31:34

I come from a fooling family.

0:31:340:31:36

My great-grandfather Lucius

0:31:360:31:39

was the first man to give the Governor of North Carolina

0:31:390:31:43

the hotfoot.

0:31:420:31:44

You've been married before, haven't you, honey?

0:31:440:31:47

No.

0:31:470:31:48

Where did I get the idea you was a widow?

0:31:480:31:51

Not yet.

0:31:510:31:53

Well, I'll make a drink, shall I?

0:31:530:31:56

You must be tired. You both look tired.

0:31:560:31:59

That's what I've been thinking,

0:31:590:32:01

but not daring to say! Ha ha!

0:32:010:32:04

Oh, I'm just terrible, saying things like that.

0:32:040:32:08

Oh, isn't that lovely?

0:32:080:32:12

Isn't that a lovely thing?

0:32:150:32:17

Engagement present?

0:32:170:32:19

Yes.

0:32:190:32:20

Mm-hmm.

0:32:200:32:21

I used to have one exactly like it.

0:32:210:32:25

Exactly.

0:32:250:32:27

Did y'all drive all night?

0:32:320:32:34

No. We stopped at a charming

0:32:340:32:36

rose-covered cottage.

0:32:360:32:38

Ahem! Ahem. Ahem.

0:32:380:32:40

He said he wanted just the right place.

0:32:400:32:43

So peaceful, so serene,

0:32:430:32:45

so romantic.

0:32:450:32:47

Nick's so thoughtful.

0:32:470:32:48

Isn't he, though?

0:32:480:32:50

Dinner's served.

0:32:500:32:51

How's school, Tim? Fine.

0:32:510:32:54

Tim's an orator.

0:32:540:32:55

Will you recite?

0:32:550:32:57

I don't want to recite.

0:32:570:32:59

Chinch got two gold stars

0:32:590:33:01

from her music teacher.

0:33:010:33:05

Uh-huh.

0:33:050:33:07

Chinch got two gold stars from her music teacher.

0:33:060:33:09

I heard the news.

0:33:090:33:11

I know! Let's have Chinch play for us after dinner.

0:33:110:33:15

I can play by heart without the paper.

0:33:150:33:18

I had a good ear when I was a kid.

0:33:180:33:22

You couldn't carry a tune!

0:33:220:33:24

I like my husband's voice.

0:33:240:33:26

Don't care about music, huh?

0:33:260:33:28

SHE PLAYS PIANO

0:33:300:33:32

Oops, I made a mistake.

0:33:410:33:44

Pick up where you left off, if you don't mind.

0:33:450:33:49

My teacher said I shouldn't do that.

0:33:490:33:52

SHE HITS WRONG NOTE

0:33:560:33:59

Go right back, darling.

0:33:580:34:01

"Under a spreading chestnut tree,

0:34:140:34:16

"the village smithy stands..."

0:34:160:34:18

Good boy!

0:34:180:34:19

"..with large and sinewy hands.

0:34:190:34:22

"The muscles of his brawny arms

0:34:210:34:23

"are strong as iron bands..."

0:34:230:34:25

"I don't want to recite."

"His face is like the tan.

0:34:280:34:30

"His brow is wet..."

0:34:300:34:32

My head's splitting. I'm going to bed.

0:34:320:34:34

Oh, all right.

0:34:340:34:35

TIM: "..week in..."

0:34:350:34:36

If you'll excuse me. Good night.

0:34:360:34:39

"..hear him swing..."

0:34:390:34:40

Coming, Nick?

0:34:400:34:42

In just a little while.

0:34:410:34:44

"..the evening sun is low.

0:34:440:34:45

"The children come..."

0:34:450:34:47

Good night.

0:34:470:34:48

"They love to see the flaming forge..."

0:34:480:34:51

VOICES

0:35:000:35:02

I practised over an hour yesterday.

0:35:020:35:05

I didn't do the Gettysburg Address.

0:35:050:35:07

Let's do it.

0:35:070:35:09

Not a chance.

0:35:080:35:10

Night, Daddy.

0:35:100:35:11

Just when the party's getting good.

0:35:110:35:14

I cut that stuff out a year ago.

0:35:140:35:17

Sorry. Good night.

0:35:170:35:18

Night, fella.

0:35:180:35:20

I-all thought your-all performance

0:35:220:35:24

was mighty good this evening, sister Ellen.

0:35:240:35:27

I thought you'd like that.

0:35:270:35:29

CHILDREN: Good night!

0:35:290:35:30

Good night.

0:35:300:35:32

You've done a good job, Nick.

0:35:320:35:34

They're nice kids.

0:35:340:35:35

They're really wonderful.

0:35:350:35:37

Oh, I'm glad you think so.

0:35:370:35:39

Timmy's just like you.

0:35:390:35:41

Sure. He's bright.

0:35:410:35:43

Obstinate, jealous...

0:35:430:35:44

Nick, I'm waiting.

0:35:440:35:46

In a minute.

0:35:480:35:49

What were you saying?

0:35:520:35:54

I was saying, Timmy's just like you -

0:35:540:35:57

obstinate, jealous, but adorable.

0:35:570:36:01

Mm-hmm.

0:36:010:36:03

I feel sorry for the woman who marries him.

0:36:030:36:06

Why?

0:36:060:36:07

He's a heartbreaker, like you.

0:36:060:36:09

I'm a faithful husband.

0:36:090:36:11

With a wife in every room.

0:36:110:36:14

Nick, I'm waiting.

0:36:160:36:18

DOOR SLAMS

0:36:180:36:20

Are you going to tell her?

0:36:210:36:24

Sure.

0:36:240:36:25

When?

0:36:250:36:26

Right now. It's going to take tact and delicacy.

0:36:260:36:30

Mmm.

0:36:300:36:32

She's waiting.

0:36:350:36:37

Oh, yeah. Here we go.

0:36:370:36:41

Oh, you Casanova, you.

0:36:490:36:52

Oh!

0:36:520:36:53

And then we drove all night.

0:36:540:36:56

All night!

0:36:560:36:58

When we got home, he didn't even tell the children.

0:36:580:37:02

Oh, mother, he just ignores me!

0:37:020:37:05

What?

0:37:040:37:06

I don't care what father did!

0:37:060:37:10

I've never been so humiliated.

0:37:090:37:12

I'm not going to stand it another minute.

0:37:110:37:14

I'm going to leave him.

0:37:140:37:16

I don't care what you say!

0:37:170:37:19

I'm leaving him!

0:37:190:37:21

Mother, I'll call you back.

0:37:210:37:23

How is your mother?

0:37:250:37:27

Your mother's quite nice once you get to know her.

0:37:270:37:31

Do you love me?

0:37:320:37:34

Why, Bianca,

0:37:340:37:36

you're one of the most attractive girls I know.

0:37:360:37:39

I'm your wife!

0:37:390:37:41

SHE CRIES

0:37:410:37:42

When I think how I shopped all afternoon until I was exhausted

0:37:460:37:50

hunting a surprise for you,

0:37:500:37:53

and you won't even put it on!

0:37:530:37:56

Oh, no, Bianca, please.

0:37:560:37:58

I'll put it on.

0:37:580:38:00

Stop. Bianca, I'll put it on right now.

0:38:000:38:03

I'll put it on, Bianca.

0:38:030:38:05

No, please, stop crying.

0:38:050:38:07

Look, Bianca.

0:38:070:38:08

Look, Bianca, I'm putting it on.

0:38:080:38:11

Please stop crying, Bianca.

0:38:110:38:13

Look. There.

0:38:130:38:14

I've put it on.

0:38:140:38:16

See?

0:38:160:38:17

Playing up to that Southern snip

0:38:190:38:22

just as if I weren't there.

0:38:210:38:24

In the name of heaven, tell me,

0:38:240:38:27

what's wrong with me?

0:38:270:38:29

Oh, Bianca, there's nothing wrong with you.

0:38:280:38:32

Believe me, under other circumstances,

0:38:320:38:34

well, who knows?

0:38:340:38:36

Oh, no. No, Bianca, please stop crying.

0:38:360:38:39

Now, please, let me explain.

0:38:390:38:41

Let me start from the beginning.

0:38:410:38:43

Shh.

0:38:430:38:45

Now, once...

0:38:440:38:46

Once there was a man who met a girl.

0:38:460:38:49

He'd been living alone for quite some time.

0:38:490:38:52

Well, he told the girl he loved her,

0:38:520:38:55

and he married said girl.

0:38:550:38:57

What are you trying to say?

0:38:570:39:00

Just this -

0:39:000:39:01

Bianca...

0:39:010:39:03

DOORBELL RINGS

0:39:030:39:04

That's for me. I'll be right back.

0:39:040:39:07

Be right back.

0:39:070:39:08

SHE CRIES

0:39:080:39:10

Mr Arden?

0:39:170:39:19

Yes.

0:39:190:39:20

I'm Johnson of American Life and Accident Assurance.

0:39:200:39:23

Come right in, Mr Johnson.

0:39:230:39:25

Oh, thank you.

0:39:250:39:26

I'm sorry to be intruding at this hour.

0:39:260:39:29

Not at all. Not at all.

0:39:290:39:31

I met you at the Kiwanis get together.

0:39:310:39:34

Oh, really?

0:39:340:39:36

The big one - fourth of July, last.

0:39:360:39:39

I'm sorry to have dragged you from bed.

0:39:390:39:41

Not at all. Glad you came.

0:39:410:39:44

Oh, delightful.

0:39:470:39:48

This will only take a minute.

0:39:480:39:51

Sit down. Stay a while.

0:39:510:39:53

Well, thank you.

0:39:530:39:55

What can I do for you?

0:40:020:40:04

Hmm? Oh, Mr Arden,

0:40:040:40:07

have you received any communication

0:40:070:40:09

from your first wife, Ellen Wagstaff Arden?

0:40:090:40:13

No. Ha ha ha! Just as I expected.

0:40:130:40:16

Our district manager, Mr Pusey,

0:40:160:40:18

is a fuss-budgety type who likes to check everything.

0:40:180:40:22

It's customary to check

0:40:220:40:24

when the company's paid out a large sum of money.

0:40:240:40:27

What are you driving at?

0:40:270:40:29

He claims to have a report - a rumour, really -

0:40:290:40:32

that a woman answering your wife's description

0:40:320:40:35

was rescued by a Portuguese freighter,

0:40:350:40:37

as was also a man named Stephen Burkett,

0:40:370:40:40

who was reported drowned at the same time.

0:40:400:40:43

Would you mind saying that again?

0:40:450:40:48

Don't be angry with me.

0:40:480:40:50

This Stephen Burkett -

0:40:500:40:51

he was rescued at the same time as my wife?

0:40:510:40:55

Well, according to this unverified rumour.

0:40:550:40:57

Then they were on that island

0:40:570:41:00

for seven years together.

0:41:000:41:02

Seven years. Ridiculous, isn't it?

0:41:020:41:04

What else did your Mr Pusey hear?

0:41:080:41:11

Well, not very much, really.

0:41:110:41:13

It seems he talked to somebody

0:41:130:41:16

who had talked to a Portuguese captain.

0:41:160:41:18

Listen to this -

0:41:180:41:20

he says the woman called the man Adam.

0:41:200:41:25

Adam?

0:41:260:41:27

Adam.

0:41:270:41:28

Ha ha ha! A far cry from Stephen.

0:41:280:41:31

Oh, it's all absurd.

0:41:310:41:32

What did he call HER?

0:41:350:41:37

Eve.

0:41:430:41:44

Adam and eve.

0:41:450:41:47

Oh, Adam and eve. A delightful fancy.

0:41:470:41:50

Yeah. Delightful.

0:41:500:41:52

You ought to be grateful it is only a fancy.

0:41:520:41:56

Aside from the money involved,

0:41:560:41:58

can you imagine the pickle you'd be in if it weren't?

0:41:580:42:01

Well, then, that does it.

0:42:010:42:03

KNOCK AT DOOR

0:42:050:42:06

Come in.

0:42:070:42:09

Oh, Nick.

0:42:100:42:12

How can you sleep at a time like this?

0:42:130:42:17

Dreaming about Adam, I suppose.

0:42:170:42:19

Adam?

0:42:180:42:20

Adam and Eve!

0:42:200:42:21

Why didn't you tell me

0:42:210:42:23

this man Burkett was with you?

0:42:230:42:25

Why do you dissemble and deceive?

0:42:250:42:28

What are you laughing at?

0:42:280:42:30

You, darling. That robe.

0:42:300:42:32

How will I look when this story comes out?

0:42:320:42:35

You two alone on an island for seven years.

0:42:350:42:38

We didn't arrange it. It just happened.

0:42:380:42:41

Yeah. I'll bet it did.

0:42:410:42:43

Please get that look out of your eye.

0:42:430:42:46

Why didn't you tell me?

0:42:460:42:48

I knew you'd carry on like you are now.

0:42:480:42:51

I wanted the right time.

0:42:510:42:53

There never will be a right time.

0:42:530:42:56

Seven years on an island.

0:42:560:42:58

He didn't molest you?

0:42:580:43:01

How could he?

0:43:000:43:02

The poor fellow broke his leg.

0:43:020:43:04

He was laid up for six months.

0:43:040:43:07

Oh. That still leaves six and a half years.

0:43:070:43:10

It occurs to me I ought to feel insulted.

0:43:150:43:18

I go through seven years of agony.

0:43:180:43:21

I come home to find

0:43:210:43:23

my husband in the arms of another woman, married.

0:43:220:43:25

My children don't know me.

0:43:250:43:27

All my husband can think of

0:43:270:43:30

is did I carry on with some poor man?

0:43:300:43:33

Just a moment. YOU just a moment!

0:43:330:43:36

Did you tell her? Did you? No! You got into costume.

0:43:360:43:39

How long does it take to tell a woman

0:43:390:43:43

"my wife's come back"?

0:43:420:43:44

I can say it in two seconds.

0:43:440:43:47

You've had two days.

0:43:470:43:48

Oh, Nick, you don't want to tell her.

0:43:480:43:52

That's why you're picking on poor Adam.

0:43:520:43:55

Any excuse will do.

0:43:540:43:56

You can't blame me after hearing about Burkett.

0:43:560:44:00

You'd always think the worst of me.

0:44:000:44:03

Well, where is he now?

0:44:030:44:05

Who?

0:44:050:44:06

You know who!

0:44:060:44:08

Oh, Adam.

0:44:080:44:10

Jealous of poor Adam.

0:44:100:44:13

Gentle, harmless Adam.

0:44:130:44:16

He lives at the YMCA.

0:44:160:44:18

The YMCA?

0:44:180:44:20

He always lives at the YMCA.

0:44:200:44:22

He's a clean-living, upright, 100% American

0:44:220:44:25

and a gentleman.

0:44:250:44:26

Is there anything more?

0:44:260:44:29

When do I meet him?

0:44:290:44:30

When do you tell her?

0:44:300:44:31

Good night.

0:44:370:44:39

Good night.

0:44:390:44:40

Adam.

0:44:510:44:53

Nick!

0:45:000:45:01

Where are you going now?

0:45:010:45:03

To the YMCA!

0:45:030:45:05

Good morning.

0:45:150:45:17

Good morning.

0:45:160:45:17

NICK: Not Durkett, Burkett!

0:45:200:45:22

"B", like...

0:45:220:45:23

All right, I'll hold on.

0:45:240:45:27

Huh?

0:45:300:45:31

Oh, he's not there?

0:45:310:45:33

Thanks.

0:45:330:45:35

Good morning, Miss Rosenthal.

0:45:350:45:37

Look, I want you to find a Stephen Burkett.

0:45:370:45:40

Drop everything else. It's very important.

0:45:400:45:43

I've called all the hotels.

0:45:430:45:45

Call the country clubs, men's clubs...

0:45:450:45:47

YMCA?

0:45:470:45:48

No! I tried that. They've never heard of him.

0:45:480:45:52

Yes, sir.

0:45:520:45:53

Mr Burkett's room, please.

0:46:000:46:03

Oh, he's not?

0:46:040:46:05

Hmm.

0:46:050:46:07

Well, will you try pageing him, please?

0:46:060:46:09

Pageing Mr Burkett!

0:46:140:46:16

Pageing Mr Burkett!

0:46:180:46:21

Pageing Mr Burkett!

0:46:240:46:26

Pageing Mr Burkett!

0:46:270:46:31

Pageing Mr Burkett!

0:46:330:46:36

Mr Burkett!

0:46:370:46:39

Right here, Son.

0:46:390:46:40

Mr Burkett? Call for you, sir.

0:46:420:46:45

All right.

0:46:450:46:47

Hello?

0:46:470:46:49

Hello?

0:46:490:46:50

Nobody on this line, Son.

0:46:500:46:52

I'm sorry, sir.

0:46:520:46:54

Thanks. They'll probably call again.

0:46:540:46:56

I feel it's about time for a dip.

0:46:560:46:59

Yes, it is.

0:47:070:47:09

No, it isn't.

0:47:090:47:10

Ask that young man.

0:47:100:47:12

Young man, is that Johnny Weissmuller?

0:47:140:47:16

No. I wish it were.

0:47:160:47:18

Are you sure that isn't a left shoe?

0:47:540:47:57

Well, if you...

0:47:570:47:59

Are you sure you wear 4S?

0:48:000:48:03

Well, maybe I don't anymore.

0:48:030:48:05

I've been running around with my shoes off

0:48:050:48:08

for quite some time.

0:48:080:48:10

Sort of running wild. Ha ha ha!

0:48:100:48:12

There you are.

0:48:230:48:25

What do you do at lunchtime?

0:48:250:48:28

Have lunch.

0:48:280:48:30

Well, do you think you could skip it today

0:48:300:48:33

if I made it worth your while?

0:48:330:48:36

Yes.

0:48:390:48:40

Well, er, meet me out in front in 15 minutes.

0:48:420:48:47

Oh, no, no.

0:48:500:48:52

You don't understand.

0:48:520:48:53

It's, er...er...

0:48:530:48:55

well, I'll explain the whole thing later.

0:48:550:48:58

Yes, Joe?

0:49:000:49:01

Yes, I know. I covered every...

0:49:010:49:03

Yeah. I'm sorry, Joe.

0:49:170:49:19

Yes, that's...

0:49:190:49:21

Well, no, no.

0:49:210:49:23

Here's how I interpret the clause...

0:49:230:49:25

Joe, I'll have to call you back.

0:49:290:49:32

A Miss Wagstaff to see you, sir.

0:49:320:49:35

Oh, send her in.

0:49:350:49:37

Yes, sir.

0:49:370:49:39

Hmm.

0:49:390:49:40

Hello.

0:49:420:49:44

I hope I'm not interrupting anything important.

0:49:440:49:47

No, no, no.

0:49:470:49:48

Oh, Nick, I'm sorry about last night.

0:49:480:49:51

Really, I am.

0:49:510:49:52

You had a right to be suspicious.

0:49:520:49:56

Do you have a little time to spare now?

0:49:560:49:59

Why?

0:49:590:50:00

If you have time,

0:50:000:50:02

I'd like you to meet Mr Burkett.

0:50:020:50:05

He's right outside.

0:50:050:50:06

Have him come in.

0:50:070:50:09

I thought we'd better get this thing settled

0:50:090:50:12

once and for all.

0:50:120:50:14

Stephen.

0:50:140:50:15

Stephen, this is Nick.

0:50:200:50:23

So, er, this is Mr Burkett.

0:50:260:50:29

Uh-huh.

0:50:290:50:31

This is a pleasure, Mr Arden.

0:50:310:50:33

I've heard so much about you.

0:50:330:50:35

Oh, that's good. Now, sit down,Adam.

0:50:350:50:38

Thank you.

0:50:380:50:40

I haven't very much time.

0:50:400:50:42

Oh.

0:50:420:50:43

Ahh.

0:50:480:50:49

Heh heh.

0:50:530:50:54

Heh heh.

0:50:540:50:55

Heh heh.

0:50:550:50:56

You were about to say something?

0:50:560:50:59

Oh. Oh, yes.

0:50:580:51:00

I'm on my way to the geographic society

0:51:000:51:03

for a very important meeting.

0:51:030:51:05

Oh.

0:51:050:51:06

I'm making a report of the flora and fauna

0:51:060:51:09

we found on the island.

0:51:090:51:11

I was fascinated by the vegetation on the island.

0:51:110:51:14

I spent so much time on research

0:51:140:51:17

that I wasn't very good company for your wife.

0:51:170:51:20

Eve said that you had some questions to ask me.

0:51:240:51:28

Yes, he has.

0:51:280:51:30

Ask him.

0:51:300:51:31

Ask him anything.

0:51:310:51:33

Well, er...ahem.

0:51:340:51:36

While you were on the island...

0:51:360:51:38

I'm awfully bad at names, Mr Er...

0:51:380:51:40

Burkett. Stephen J Burkett.

0:51:400:51:43

Oh, yeah.

0:51:430:51:44

Incidentally,

0:51:440:51:45

I was awfully sorry to hear about your accident.

0:51:450:51:49

Pardon?

0:51:500:51:51

I was asking Mr Burkett

0:51:510:51:53

about his accident.

0:51:530:51:55

Oh, my leg is fine now.

0:51:580:52:01

Oh.

0:52:010:52:03

I'd better run along, Eve.

0:52:020:52:04

Oh, must you?

0:52:040:52:06

The geographic society insists on punctuality.

0:52:060:52:08

Goodbye, Mr Arden.

0:52:080:52:10

I'm glad you came up. It was very enlightening.

0:52:100:52:13

Goodbye, Eve.

0:52:130:52:14

Goodbye, Adam.

0:52:140:52:16

Satisfied?

0:52:280:52:30

Yes.

0:52:300:52:32

Don't.

0:52:330:52:34

I told you there was nothing to it.

0:52:340:52:36

Oh, well, yeah.

0:52:360:52:38

Feel better now, huh?

0:52:380:52:40

How about some lunch?

0:52:420:52:44

Love it.

0:52:440:52:46

You would?

0:52:460:52:47

Pacific club?

0:52:500:52:51

Good!

0:52:510:52:52

Sherry?

0:53:000:53:01

Yes, please.

0:53:010:53:02

Martini?

0:53:020:53:03

Yes. Thank you.

0:53:030:53:05

I tell you,

0:53:050:53:07

let's drink to, er...

0:53:070:53:09

no more suspicions.

0:53:090:53:11

No more suspicions.

0:53:110:53:14

DRUM ROLL

0:53:160:53:18

If married people can't be honest with each other,

0:53:210:53:24

who can?

0:53:240:53:25

Exactly.

0:53:250:53:27

What are you staring at?

0:53:270:53:29

What's the matter?

0:53:380:53:40

I dropped my gloves.

0:53:400:53:42

They're on the table.

0:53:420:53:43

I don't think so.

0:53:430:53:45

Hello, Eve. I thought I saw you.

0:53:450:53:48

Oh, Page, bring my robe, will you, please?

0:53:480:53:51

Yes, sir.

0:53:510:53:52

I'm delighted to see you.

0:53:520:53:54

Won't you present me?

0:53:540:53:56

Oh, well, er...

0:53:560:53:58

Er...

0:53:580:53:59

Oh...

0:53:590:54:01

Um...

0:54:010:54:02

My name's Arden. I didn't catch yours.

0:54:020:54:05

Burkett. Hasn't Eve told you...

0:54:050:54:07

Did you say Burkett?

0:54:070:54:09

Yes.

0:54:090:54:10

How odd.

0:54:100:54:11

Thank you.

0:54:110:54:13

Well, er, Mr Burkett,

0:54:130:54:15

why don't you have lunch with us?

0:54:150:54:18

Oh, delighted.

0:54:180:54:19

Waiter, the inner man

0:54:190:54:21

is crying for nourishment.

0:54:210:54:23

We'll order now, waiter.

0:54:250:54:27

I recommend turkey a la king.

0:54:260:54:29

It's very delicious.

0:54:290:54:31

Ellen?

0:54:310:54:32

Ha ha ha!

0:54:320:54:33

Something funny?

0:54:330:54:35

I was just thinking of the little man

0:54:350:54:38

I dragged up to your office.

0:54:380:54:40

Turkey?

0:54:470:54:48

Turkey.

0:54:500:54:51

Does turkey appeal to you,

0:54:510:54:53

or do you confine yourself to raw meat?

0:54:520:54:55

Never touch it. I'm a vegetarian.

0:54:550:54:58

Bring me a glass of carrot juice,

0:54:580:55:01

a milk shake,

0:55:010:55:02

and some raw carrots.

0:55:020:55:04

I'll have a steak sandwich.

0:55:040:55:05

We'll order the dessert later.

0:55:050:55:07

Ahem. My husband hasn't slept

0:55:070:55:09

since he heard you were on the island with me.

0:55:090:55:13

He's arranged this meeting

0:55:130:55:15

to trap us into a confession.

0:55:150:55:17

He's a very clever lawyer, so beware.

0:55:170:55:20

I'm going to be very foxy myself.

0:55:200:55:23

I've got nothing to hide.

0:55:230:55:25

But HE has. You see, Nick's married again.

0:55:250:55:28

No!

0:55:280:55:29

Yes!

0:55:290:55:30

Why, that's the best news I've had.

0:55:300:55:33

What is it to you?

0:55:330:55:35

It simplifies everything.

0:55:350:55:37

I don't have to hedge around. I can tell you.

0:55:360:55:40

Tell me what?

0:55:400:55:41

Well, I... I'd like to marry Eve.

0:55:410:55:45

Oh, you would?

0:55:450:55:46

I've known your wife for seven years.

0:55:460:55:49

No man could ask for a better companion,

0:55:490:55:52

a truer friend,

0:55:520:55:53

or a more charming playmate.

0:55:530:55:55

Thank you. Isn't he impulsive?

0:55:550:55:58

Impulsive? He's full of carrots.

0:55:580:56:01

I must, in fairness to your wife,

0:56:010:56:04

add that we have nothing to reproach ourselves for

0:56:040:56:07

during those seven years.

0:56:070:56:08

No regrets, huh?

0:56:080:56:10

So just make up your mind.

0:56:100:56:13

You're not allowed to have two wives.

0:56:130:56:15

I know. Don't rush me.

0:56:150:56:17

What's your hurry?

0:56:170:56:19

Your carrots aren't here yet.

0:56:190:56:21

How long were you married to Ellen before the island?

0:56:210:56:24

Four years. Why?

0:56:240:56:26

I was with her for seven.

0:56:260:56:28

I claim her on the basis of seniority. Ha ha!

0:56:280:56:31

You've got nothing...

0:56:310:56:33

If you gentlemen will excuse me,

0:56:330:56:35

maybe you could thrash this out better without me.

0:56:350:56:38

Oh, don't get up.

0:56:380:56:40

I can get along without either of you.

0:56:400:56:43

I'm perfectly able to take care of myself.

0:56:430:56:47

Ooh!

0:56:470:56:48

Hold your breath, Ellen!

0:56:500:56:51

Are you all right, Ellen?

0:56:530:56:55

Can I help you? No!

0:56:550:56:56

How long will it take

0:56:580:57:00

to get those things dried and pressed?

0:57:000:57:01

Three or four hours at least, ma'am.

0:57:010:57:05

All right.

0:57:050:57:06

Three or four hours.

0:57:080:57:11

I wish there was some way

0:57:110:57:12

I could get some things from home.

0:57:120:57:16

Well, I'm hungry.

0:57:250:57:26

I think I'll order something.

0:57:260:57:28

What do you need, a hat and a dress?

0:57:310:57:35

Room service, please.

0:57:350:57:36

Some shoes and stockings.

0:57:360:57:38

Bring a couple of things.

0:57:380:57:40

I'll pick one out.

0:57:400:57:42

This is Mr Burkett.

0:57:420:57:44

I'd like to order a lunch for two in my room.

0:57:440:57:47

I'll be right back.

0:57:480:57:50

And a plate of raw carrots. That's all.

0:58:080:58:11

Back so soon?

0:58:110:58:12

Forget something, old man?

0:58:120:58:14

How would you like to come along with me

0:58:140:58:18

just for the ride, huh?

0:58:180:58:20

What are you laughing at?

0:58:200:58:22

After seven years, what's another half-hour?

0:58:220:58:25

Go on, Stephen.

0:58:280:58:30

All right.

0:58:300:58:31

Have you your own car, or shall I call a cab?

0:58:310:58:35

Do you ride in cabs, or do you just trot alongside?

0:58:350:58:39

Goodbye, Eve.

0:58:400:58:42

I'll see you later.

0:58:420:58:44

Doctor, what do you think it could be?

0:58:480:58:50

It's not at all unusual.

0:58:500:58:51

There are hundreds of such cases.

0:58:510:58:53

Last week, I heard of a case...

0:58:530:58:55

DOOR CLOSES

0:58:550:58:57

Nick, where have you been?

0:59:030:59:05

I have to get some clothes for a friend of mine. He's in the car.

0:59:050:59:09

This is Dr Kohlmar. He's going to help us.

0:59:090:59:13

He knows.

0:59:130:59:14

He knows what?

0:59:140:59:16

There are hundreds of such cases.

0:59:150:59:18

It's been a pleasure, doctor.

0:59:190:59:21

I'll just go on with my packing.

0:59:210:59:24

You see, doctor? He just doesn't make sense.

0:59:240:59:28

Hmm.

0:59:280:59:29

Sometimes I think I'm going mad - stark staring mad.

0:59:290:59:32

Not at all unusual.

0:59:320:59:34

The mood and pose is characteristic

0:59:340:59:37

of the frustrated individual.

0:59:370:59:39

If I may make a suggestion...

0:59:390:59:41

Yes, doctor?

0:59:410:59:42

You just rest.

0:59:420:59:44

I'll wander in on your husband casually

0:59:440:59:47

and talk things over.

0:59:470:59:49

I don't care what you do,

0:59:490:59:51

but please do something.

0:59:510:59:53

There, there.

0:59:530:59:54

You think it matches?

1:00:311:00:34

Oh, yes.

1:00:331:00:35

Blue ought to go with blue.

1:00:351:00:37

It's for a friend. He's waiting downstairs.

1:00:371:00:40

Oh, I see.

1:00:401:00:42

What's the matter with you?

1:00:421:00:44

CLOSES SUITCASE

1:00:471:00:48

Nick!

1:00:541:00:56

Nick!

1:00:561:00:58

Nick!

1:00:581:00:59

Got to go. Supreme court.

1:00:591:01:01

A most important case.

1:01:011:01:04

Nick, stay.

1:01:041:01:05

Can't let the client down. Extortion.

1:01:051:01:07

I have to talk to you.

1:01:071:01:10

I'll defend myself.

1:01:101:01:12

You want me to lose my practice, ruin my career?

1:01:121:01:16

Give me the law books.

1:01:161:01:17

Talk to Dr Kohlmar just for a minute.

1:01:171:01:20

Wait a minute!

1:01:201:01:22

Goodbye, old man!

1:01:221:01:24

Now, what do you both want?

1:01:281:01:30

Can't a man come into his own home without being spied on?

1:01:301:01:34

Don't you want to lie down?

1:01:341:01:37

I don't need a doctor!

1:01:371:01:38

I've been trying to tell you.

1:01:381:01:41

What?

1:01:411:01:42

I'm married!

1:01:421:01:43

Of course you are, dear.

1:01:431:01:46

Look, my wife's not dead. She didn't drown.

1:01:491:01:52

She fell in the pool. I was getting her clothes.

1:01:521:01:56

That's when he thought that...

1:01:561:01:57

That fellow that was just here,

1:01:571:02:00

he was on the island with her.

1:02:001:02:03

They're over at the Pacific club.

1:02:031:02:05

I understand, dear.

1:02:051:02:07

You don't understand! Now listen carefully.

1:02:061:02:09

She came to the hotel - remember the honeymoon?

1:02:091:02:12

Well, that's why... isn't it clear to you?

1:02:121:02:15

Do I have to draw you a diagram?

1:02:151:02:18

You need a long rest.

1:02:181:02:19

Doesn't he, doctor?

1:02:191:02:21

Mr Arden?

1:02:211:02:22

Not now.

1:02:221:02:23

My wife, the mother of my children...-

1:02:231:02:26

Mr Arden, I've got a warrant for your arrest.

1:02:261:02:29

Arrest? You can't arrest me. What's the charge?

1:02:291:02:32

Bigamy.

1:02:321:02:33

Bigamy?

1:02:331:02:35

Do you mind coming with us?

1:02:351:02:37

But...

1:02:371:02:38

Now do you believe me?

1:02:391:02:41

NICK: Your honour...

1:02:431:02:44

Quiet! What are you doing here?

1:02:441:02:45

Bigamy is a criminal offence.

1:02:451:02:47

I'm out on bail...

1:02:471:02:49

I don't care about the bail.

1:02:491:02:51

This is a civil court.

1:02:511:02:53

What kind of a lawyer are you?

1:02:531:02:55

Where did you go to school?

1:02:551:02:57

Harvard.

1:02:571:02:58

I'm a Yale man myself.

1:02:581:03:00

Are you the bride?

1:03:001:03:02

Yes, Your Honour.

1:03:021:03:04

Kissless?

1:03:041:03:05

Yes.

1:03:051:03:06

Harvard man. Ahem.

1:03:071:03:10

I see nothing wrong with my decision.

1:03:101:03:13

You presented your brief.

1:03:131:03:15

The evidence is all here - teething...

1:03:151:03:17

What do you want me to do, reverse myself?

1:03:171:03:20

Go to the court of appeals.

1:03:201:03:23

They're always reversing me anyway.

1:03:231:03:25

I have a precedent for this case.

1:03:251:03:27

I cite Mulligan Vs Mulligan-Benson

1:03:271:03:30

in Fresno, 1879.

1:03:301:03:31

How long do I have to listen to this?

1:03:311:03:34

Go on, Nick.

1:03:341:03:36

Tell us what happened in Mulligan Vs Mulligan-Benson.

1:03:361:03:39

Mrs Mulligan returned after an absence of considerable length

1:03:391:03:42

to find that Mr Mulligan, the husband,

1:03:421:03:45

had remarried.

1:03:451:03:47

Mrs Benson-Mulligan, the second wife...

1:03:471:03:49

It was a sort of a Mulligan stew.

1:03:491:03:51

LAUGHTER

1:03:511:03:53

I'll have no laughter in the courtroom.

1:03:531:03:56

When the first wife returned,

1:03:561:03:58

the second wife immediately sued for annulment.

1:03:581:04:01

That left Mr Mulligan, the husband,

1:04:011:04:03

free to either remarry the first wife, Mrs Mulligan,

1:04:031:04:06

or the second wife, Mrs Benson-Mulligan,

1:04:061:04:09

or rather Mulligan-Benson.

1:04:091:04:11

Well, what did he do?

1:04:111:04:14

He died suddenly of cirrhosis of the liver.

1:04:141:04:17

LAUGHTER

1:04:171:04:18

They never did find out whether he slept

1:04:181:04:21

with his beard under or over the covers.

1:04:211:04:24

That'll cost you 25.

1:04:241:04:25

For a joke?

1:04:251:04:27

You heard me. 25.

1:04:271:04:29

You can't do that, Your Honour. I'm legally dead.

1:04:281:04:33

You think it's nice to take money from a corpse?

1:04:331:04:36

That'll cost you 25 more.

1:04:361:04:38

That's 50 you owe me.

1:04:381:04:40

You keeping track of this?

1:04:401:04:42

Yes.

1:04:421:04:43

But, Your Honour, you declared her legally dead yourself.

1:04:431:04:47

Your decision is on file.

1:04:471:04:49

Did I do that?

1:04:491:04:50

Yes.

1:04:501:04:51

I will declare her legally alive.

1:04:511:04:53

Then she can pay me that 50.

1:04:531:04:56

Will someone swear she's a live woman?

1:04:561:04:59

I'll say she is.

1:04:591:05:00

But if she's legally alive, I'm guilty of bigamy.

1:05:001:05:04

Can you make anything out of this case?

1:05:041:05:07

It's all here...

1:05:071:05:08

Oh, I know it's there.

1:05:081:05:10

I know the brief.

1:05:101:05:12

STEPHEN: Ha ha!

1:05:121:05:13

Ha ha ha!

1:05:131:05:14

Mulligan stew. Boy, that was a good one.

1:05:141:05:18

Who are you?

1:05:181:05:20

He was on the island with her. He's not important.

1:05:201:05:24

I'll decide what's important. What island?

1:05:231:05:26

The island where my wife stayed for seven years, Your Honour.

1:05:261:05:30

They were on an island together for seven years? Yes.

1:05:301:05:34

Not alone?

1:05:341:05:36

Yes.

1:05:361:05:37

Hmm.

1:05:371:05:39

Same island?

1:05:411:05:42

Yes.

1:05:421:05:44

Is that in the brief?

1:05:441:05:46

No, Your Honour.

1:05:461:05:47

Oh, that should be in the brief.

1:05:471:05:50

That's the most interesting part of the case. Yep.

1:05:501:05:53

I want to get out of here before I explode.

1:05:531:05:57

I want to go home myself

1:05:571:05:59

to tell my wife about this.

1:05:591:06:02

She thinks all my cases are dull.

1:06:021:06:04

It seems to me the only thing I can do

1:06:041:06:08

is annul the second marriage

1:06:081:06:10

so you can marry this woman.

1:06:101:06:12

I don't know what you'll do about him.

1:06:121:06:16

I haven't thought that out.

1:06:151:06:18

BIANCA: I want to tell you what this man's done to me...

1:06:181:06:22

If he'd only told me...

1:06:221:06:24

Bianca, I did...

1:06:241:06:25

JUDGE: Where are you two going?

1:06:251:06:27

NICK: If you please, Your Honour...

1:06:271:06:30

Quiet!

1:06:291:06:31

GAVEL BANGING

1:06:311:06:32

BIANCA: ..Driving all night!

1:06:321:06:34

So he hasn't had time to think it over.

1:06:371:06:40

Poor Nick.

1:06:401:06:42

Sit down, Ellen.

1:06:421:06:43

I'm the kind of a man who finishes what he starts.

1:06:431:06:48

I'm going back to the island.

1:06:481:06:50

Come with me.

1:06:501:06:52

What do you say?

1:06:521:06:54

Thanks, Steve, but I haven't waited seven years

1:06:541:06:57

just to give up in three days.

1:06:561:07:00

I think you're just being loyal,

1:07:001:07:02

but I respect you for it.

1:07:021:07:05

Steve, would you do something for me?

1:07:051:07:08

Anything.

1:07:081:07:09

I shouldn't ask,

1:07:091:07:11

but I want him back. Will you help me?

1:07:111:07:14

How?

1:07:141:07:15

Just repeat that invitation

1:07:151:07:17

in front of Nick.

1:07:171:07:19

Oh, I see.

1:07:191:07:20

LAUGHTER

1:07:201:07:21

GAVEL BANGING

1:07:211:07:22

What's that?

1:07:221:07:24

GAVEL BANGING

1:07:241:07:25

I'll have no violence in my courtroom.

1:07:251:07:28

25, and it was worth it.

1:07:281:07:30

All I have to say to you is,

1:07:321:07:35

as far as I'm concerned, YOU'RE legally dead.

1:07:351:07:39

If Your Honour please...

1:07:391:07:41

Well, Ellen, see you at the boat, 9:00.

1:07:411:07:44

JUDGE: What boat?

1:07:441:07:46

We're not interested in man-made laws.

1:07:461:07:49

There's a law of the jungle.

1:07:491:07:51

When a man finds his mate,

1:07:511:07:53

he doesn't have to think it out.

1:07:531:07:56

Goodbye, Eve. Until tomorrow.

1:07:561:07:58

Goodbye, Adam.

1:07:581:08:00

And it's all right with me if you bring the kiddies.

1:08:001:08:04

JUDGE: In all my experience on the bench, I have...

1:08:041:08:07

I must study the brief. Then I'll render my decision.

1:08:071:08:10

Whatever his decision is,

1:08:101:08:12

I'm getting a divorce.

1:08:121:08:14

Quiet!

1:08:141:08:15

If you think you're going to take the kids...

1:08:151:08:18

Hold your head back.

1:08:181:08:19

You had it coming. You know that.

1:08:191:08:22

Oh, that's terrible.

1:08:221:08:24

If you think you can take those kids

1:08:241:08:27

to a fever-ridden pest hole with that idiot...

1:08:261:08:29

What's YOUR offer?

1:08:291:08:31

You could go up to the mountain house

1:08:311:08:34

with the kids

1:08:341:08:35

until the gossip dies down.

1:08:351:08:37

And what are you going to do?

1:08:371:08:41

I might go off on one of those 60-day cruises

1:08:411:08:45

to think this thing out calmly, rationally.

1:08:451:08:48

When you get back, you might forgive me for not drowning.

1:08:481:08:52

Is that it?

1:08:521:08:53

I'll think about it, too, calmly and rationally.

1:08:531:08:56

I can do it in 60 minutes.

1:08:561:08:59

Hold your head back. Way back.

1:08:591:09:01

Oh!

1:09:011:09:02

Now, there's a mess!

1:09:021:09:04

Oh, never mind that!

1:09:041:09:06

I can't read a wet brief.

1:09:061:09:09

You know what?

1:09:091:09:10

Where's that thing?

1:09:101:09:12

Your honour...

1:09:121:09:13

Court's adjourned!

1:09:131:09:15

Harvard man.

1:09:151:09:17

..60 days to think anything over.

1:09:171:09:20

Goodbye, Phillip.

1:09:201:09:22

Goodbye, ma'am.

1:09:211:09:23

All aboard?

1:09:231:09:24

Don't forget the blankets if it gets cold.

1:09:241:09:27

Goodbye!

1:09:271:09:29

Bye!

1:09:291:09:30

Hey, hey, hey!

1:09:311:09:32

Whoa! Whoa!

1:09:321:09:34

What's the matter?

1:09:341:09:35

Wait a minute.

1:09:351:09:37

You can't drive that car.

1:09:371:09:39

You haven't got a license.

1:09:391:09:41

You'll get arrested. My kids will get picked up.

1:09:411:09:44

I'll get Phillip to take us.

1:09:441:09:46

That won't be necessary.

1:09:461:09:48

Tim, get in the back. I'll drive you.

1:09:481:09:51

Where to?

1:09:561:09:57

To the mountains.

1:09:591:10:01

The mountains?

1:10:011:10:03

Mountains.

1:10:031:10:05

Oh, of course.

1:10:051:10:06

Hi, Mr Arden. Good evening, ma'am.

1:10:181:10:20

Good evening.

1:10:201:10:22

You'll find everything all right.

1:10:221:10:24

CHINCH: I'm hungry.

1:10:241:10:26

We'll have dinner in just a few minutes.

1:10:261:10:29

Will you be staying long?

1:10:291:10:31

Mr Arden is going right back.

1:10:311:10:33

Another vacation, dad?

1:10:331:10:35

That's right.

1:10:351:10:36

Yosemite Falls again?

1:10:361:10:37

No!

1:10:371:10:38

You don't have to get sore.

1:10:381:10:41

I just asked you a question.

1:10:411:10:44

Thanks very much, Nick.

1:10:441:10:46

That's all right.

1:10:451:10:47

Bye.

1:10:471:10:48

Goodbye.

1:10:481:10:50

It's going to be pretty dark going down the mountain.

1:10:581:11:01

Oh, but you're such a good driver.

1:11:011:11:04

Oh, I'm not worried about it.

1:11:041:11:07

I don't think there's much fog.

1:11:071:11:09

There isn't any.

1:11:091:11:11

Bye.

1:11:121:11:14

Bye.

1:11:141:11:15

Oh, Ellen, I forgot...

1:11:151:11:17

Look, when are you going to tell the children

1:11:221:11:25

that you're their mother?

1:11:251:11:27

I don't know. It may be a little difficult.

1:11:271:11:30

After all, they've gotten along pretty well without me.

1:11:301:11:34

You could have broken the ice.

1:11:341:11:36

I don't know how they'll take it from me.

1:11:361:11:39

I'll tell them right now.

1:11:391:11:41

You can't do it like that.

1:11:411:11:43

Would it help if I wrote them a letter?

1:11:451:11:48

Oh, that would be nice, yes.

1:11:481:11:51

"Enclosed, please find your mother."

1:11:511:11:53

No. This is my problem. I'll see how I get along with them.

1:11:551:12:00

If the right time comes, I'll know it.

1:12:001:12:02

If it doesn't, I'll know that, too.

1:12:021:12:04

Don't shock them.

1:12:041:12:06

The mind is a sensitive instrument.

1:12:061:12:09

We don't know what it's all about

1:12:091:12:12

when we're that young.

1:12:121:12:13

We do when we grow up.

1:12:131:12:16

Sure. With maturity,

1:12:161:12:17

the mind can stand practically anything.

1:12:171:12:20

Bye.

1:12:291:12:31

If she's our mother, what's daddy?

1:12:321:12:35

Our father.

1:12:351:12:37

Are you sure?

1:12:371:12:38

What else could he be?

1:12:381:12:40

I don't know.

1:12:401:12:42

Nobody ever tells me anything.

1:12:421:12:44

What are you two little monkeys talking about?

1:12:461:12:49

Nothing.

1:12:491:12:50

Nothing at all.

1:12:501:12:52

Oh, I love this place.

1:12:581:13:00

I used to come up here all the time.

1:13:001:13:03

With our mother?

1:13:031:13:05

Mm-hmm. And your daddy.

1:13:071:13:10

We had fun.

1:13:091:13:11

The three of you?

1:13:111:13:13

Well...

1:13:131:13:15

Mm-hmm.

1:13:161:13:17

What do you want for your dinner?

1:13:191:13:22

By the way,

1:13:221:13:23

was our mother good-looking?

1:13:231:13:26

Well, um...

1:13:271:13:29

most people thought...

1:13:291:13:33

That is, some people...

1:13:321:13:34

Well, I don't know.

1:13:341:13:37

We don't know very much about her.

1:13:371:13:41

Listen...

1:13:441:13:45

..suppose your mother didn't drown.

1:13:471:13:50

Suppose she came back...

1:13:491:13:52

You mean, like a miracle?

1:13:521:13:54

Yes.

1:13:541:13:55

Suppose she were right here in this...

1:13:551:13:58

SHE GIGGLES

1:13:581:13:59

What would you...do?

1:14:011:14:03

Look here.

1:14:071:14:10

You know, don't you?

1:14:091:14:12

Sure.

1:14:121:14:13

Oh!

1:14:131:14:15

Well...

1:14:181:14:20

How do you do, mother?

1:14:231:14:25

How do you do?

1:14:251:14:27

How do you do?

1:14:281:14:30

Well, er...

1:14:311:14:33

Don't you think...

1:14:361:14:38

it's about time somebody...

1:14:381:14:41

started kissing somebody?

1:14:401:14:43

Oh, darling.

1:14:471:14:50

How did you find out? Come on, tell me.

1:14:501:14:53

Come on.

1:14:531:14:54

DOOR OPENS

1:14:561:14:57

I had a flat.

1:14:581:15:00

Daddy.

1:15:001:15:02

I was going along, and ssssss...

1:15:021:15:05

Come on, upstairs.

1:15:051:15:07

Why?

1:15:071:15:08

You've got to mind me now.

1:15:081:15:10

Ha! I forgot.

1:15:101:15:11

I'll call you when dinner's ready.

1:15:111:15:14

Stay for dinner, dad.

1:15:141:15:15

Then we can try out mother's cooking.

1:15:151:15:18

Uh, you told them, huh?

1:15:201:15:22

Mm-hmm.

1:15:221:15:23

Oh, that's great!

1:15:231:15:24

I was wondering-

1:15:241:15:26

what about the spare tires?

1:15:261:15:28

Uh, no air in them.

1:15:281:15:30

Do you want to phone the garage?

1:15:301:15:32

Can't. The wires are down.

1:15:321:15:34

There's been a landslide. The road's blocked.

1:15:341:15:37

Probably won't be able to use the phone until morning.

1:15:371:15:40

1:15:401:15:43

1:15:451:15:48

Hello?

1:15:501:15:51

Hello, Ellen. I have some good news for you.

1:15:511:15:54

There was a call from Judge Bryson's office.

1:15:541:15:57

They said that Nicky's annulment has been filed

1:15:571:16:00

and that you've been declared legally alive,

1:16:001:16:03

and you owe him 50.

1:16:031:16:06

So, you and Nicky are husband and wife again.

1:16:061:16:09

You can pick up where you left off.

1:16:091:16:12

Goodbye.

1:16:111:16:13

Who was that?

1:16:161:16:17

They just phoned to say, er,

1:16:181:16:21

the road is open.

1:16:211:16:23

Oh. Well, it's no use. I'm out of gas.

1:16:261:16:30

You seem to be out of everything but ideas.

1:16:321:16:37

May I stay?

1:16:361:16:40

Yes, you can stay for dinner.

1:16:401:16:43

Thanks.

1:16:431:16:45

I always sleep well up here.

1:16:451:16:47

Let's see. I wonder where.

1:16:491:16:51

The children have their room,

1:16:511:16:53

and our room becomes my room.

1:16:531:16:55

Looks like you draw the attic.

1:16:551:16:58

Attic?

1:16:581:16:59

It's perfect for thinking things out.

What's the matter?

1:18:451:18:46

You were right.

1:18:461:18:48

It's perfect for thinking.

1:18:481:18:50

No good for sleeping, though.

1:18:501:18:52

Well, I'm sorry.

1:18:521:18:54

You hungry?

1:18:591:19:01

No. Why? Are you?

1:19:011:19:03

No. I just thought maybe you were hungry.

1:19:031:19:06

No.

1:19:061:19:07

Nice mattress, eh?

1:19:141:19:15

Yes.

1:19:151:19:16

The one upstairs is nothing like that.

1:19:161:19:19

All right.

1:19:211:19:23

Take it up with you.

1:19:241:19:26

Oh, yeah.

1:19:281:19:29

Thanks. That's very nice of you. Sorry I disturbed you.

1:19:311:19:37

Wasn't very comfortable up there.

1:19:371:19:39

Thank you.

1:19:441:19:46

Good night.

1:19:481:19:49

Good night.

1:19:491:19:51

Oh, Nick.

1:19:511:19:52

Hmm?

1:19:521:19:53

Put out the light, will you, please?

Oh, is that all?

1:20:421:20:44

I hope I didn't frighten you.

1:20:451:20:47

I didn't mean to bust in like that.

1:20:471:20:49

You didn't frighten me.

1:20:491:20:51

Are you comfortable?

1:20:561:20:57

Mmm...very.

1:20:571:20:59

You look beautiful.

1:21:021:21:04

Thank you.

1:21:051:21:07

Oh, what's the use? You know how I feel.

1:21:071:21:10

I could think about it till doomsday.

1:21:101:21:13

I'm stuck. I don't care what happened.

1:21:131:21:16

I don't care what people say.

1:21:161:21:18

I was always mad about you. I always will be.

1:21:181:21:22

Does that help any?

1:21:221:21:24

Yes.

1:21:241:21:26

Well...

1:21:261:21:27

No. No, you'd better go on your cruise.

1:21:271:21:32

I won't stay away from you for 60 days.

1:21:321:21:35

Oh, that's not so long.

1:21:351:21:37

Let's see...

1:21:371:21:39

November, December, 23, 24...

1:21:391:21:42

Could be just about Christmastime.

1:21:421:21:44

You come back and talk to me about it then.

1:21:441:21:48

We'll have a lovely Christmas.

1:21:481:21:51

After all, what's 59 days more?

1:21:511:21:54

Oh...

I think you're being very unreasonable.
