:17:02
Tiny? Tiny, come here.
:17:05
I'm so happy. Today is my wedding day.
:17:08
What, again, Miss Gladys?
:17:11
You can't do this to me,
Warren Haggerty. Not to me!
:17:14
Let me out of here.
:17:16
For two years, you've had me
on a merry-go-round...
:17:18
waiting for that gold ring,
but this is where I get off...
:17:20
- and stay off!
- Be quiet.
:17:22
I won't be quiet!
:17:23
The things I've taken for that newspaper...
:17:26
but this gets the blue ribbon,
trying to marry me off...
:17:29
to that baboon!
:17:31
Let's not deal in personality.
:17:33
But, darling, it's only for a month,
maybe less.
:17:36
Then six weeks in Reno.
:17:37
And, Miss Benton, they've got
the loveliest place in Reno.
:17:40
You'd love it.
You can play craps there every night.
:17:43
That's right, that's right.
:17:44
I'll come the moment you get divorced.
:17:45
But I don't want a divorce.
I want to get married and stay married.
:17:49
If you don't want to marry me, say so.
:17:51
Of course I want to marry you,
but don't you understand, Gladys?
:17:54
This comes first. It's our only chance.
I'll get fired.
:17:56
There isn't a newspaper in the world...
:17:58
that would hire me as an office boy.
Would they, Bill?
:18:00
- Not if they know you like I do.
- What do you mean?
:18:02
You remember poor Ed Glover?
:18:04
You remember after he lost that libel suit?
:18:06
They found his car gone over a cliff
and a revolver in his hand.
:18:12
- Do you want me to kill myself?
- Did you change your insurance?
:18:15
Would I ask you to do this thing for me...
:18:17
if I didn't consider you
practically my wife?
:18:18
Would you ask your wife
to hook up with that ape?
:18:21
The ape objects.
:18:23
Darling, you're not marrying him, really.
:18:25
A wedding ceremony,
six hours in a hotel apartment...
:18:29
during which time I'll never leave you,
and then he leaves for Europe.
:18:32
- Don't talk to me. I'm leaving.
- Wait a minute. I'm leaving. The deal is off.
:18:35
Here's your contract. $50,000.
:18:38
- I wouldn't hook up with her for $1 million.
- Now, Bill, you know the spot I'm in.
:18:42
That's your tough luck.
You'll have to get a new boy.
:18:45
- You mean you're walking out on him?
- That's it, sister.
:18:47
You know what the Star means to him...
:18:49
you're a newspaperman. You know.
:18:51
It'll ruin his life. It'll ruin his career.
A fine friend you are.
:18:57
- Lf you put it that way.
- I'm putting it that way.
:18:59
- Good. I'll get the guy.
- The things I do for that newspaper.
