:15:01
On second thought,
I don't want the job at any price.
:15:04
I got all the money I need right now.
Look here.
:15:06
I just got this from my publisher...
:15:07
offering to advance me
$5,000 for a second book.
:15:10
- Let's just forget about this.
- Now, wait a minute.
:15:19
You ought to be arrested for extortion.
:15:22
You must have dropped this, sir.
:15:27
- What is this?
- That is a letter.
:15:30
I get it.
:15:31
So your publisher is going to send you
a $5,000 advance?
:15:34
$700 behind with the hotel, you mean.
:15:36
- Not now, I'm not.
- I knew I was a sap to believe...
:15:38
That's right, you were.
But you'll get your money's worth.
:15:41
Now, here's the plan.
:15:43
Allenburys are in London.
:15:44
So I sail for England at once.
:15:46
But they're coming back in 10 days.
:15:47
That's why I'm sailing,
to come back with them.
:15:49
Five days on a boat.
Anything can happen on a boat.
:15:52
I meet the girl.
Perhaps she comes to my cabin...
:15:54
- No. Not this girl.
- Only for a cocktail.
:15:57
Perfectly innocent to her, me,
and everyone on the boat.
:16:00
Except our private detective,
who radios my wife.
:16:03
- You got a wife?
- No. This is a setup, not a confession.
:16:06
But we hire some attractive girl
to marry me...
:16:09
and when the time comes...
:16:11
she stages a pretty little scene
over her erring husband...
:16:14
and sues Connie for alienation of affection.
:16:16
That's it, that's it.
:16:17
The Star called Connie a husband-stealer.
She denies it.
:16:20
We duplicate the situation.
This time, she does steal a husband.
:16:23
This time, we're right.
:16:24
Let her go to bat with a libel suit
and see what she collects.
:16:27
But how about a girl to marry you?
Do you know anybody?
:16:30
Now, that's tricky.
:16:31
We've got to find someone we can trust.
:16:33
I've got the girl, the very girl!
:16:41
Hello.
:16:42
What happened to you?
:16:46
Do I want to get married?
:16:49
What do you think?
I'll call the preacher right away.
:16:54
The city hall?
Then I can't wear my wedding gown.
:16:58
I won't ask any questions.
And don't keep me waiting.
