1:03:01
You scorned my bid to a concert.
1:03:03
But I strum my guitar
'neath thy window each eve.

1:03:06
And now you refuse my invitation
for tomorrow night.

1:03:09
But I'm dining with you and Father
this evening.

1:03:12
It's your last meal, my lad.
I'm beginning to tumble.

1:03:15
I do very well for the back streets...
1:03:17
but you're ashamed
to be seen with me in public.

1:03:19
Certainly. A gal who smears
mustard all over her chin.

1:03:23
Thanks.
1:03:24
- Beautiful now?
- No, just clean.

1:03:27
Stop turning my head.
1:03:29
Now, for the purpose of the record,
what time will you arrive at the bazaar?

1:03:33
Once and for all,
I am not attending the bazaar.

1:03:35
Bill, what is it?
1:03:37
What is it?
1:03:38
It is a horse.
1:03:43
Let's stop clowning.
There's something wrong.

1:03:46
- Tell me. What is it?
- I can't.

1:03:49
Why? Please.
1:03:51
I swore I'd never mention it again.
1:03:53
The libel suit?
1:03:56
What's that got to do
with your coming to my party?

1:03:59
Plenty.
1:04:01
Connie, drop the suit, will you?
1:04:03
I know you feel that the paper
hit you deliberately.

1:04:06
Of course it was deliberate,
to hurt my father.

1:04:08
- So you're striking back.
- And you think I'm heartless.

1:04:12
No, just foolish.
1:04:13
You think you're gonna end all publicity...
1:04:15
but instead, you'll be smeared
over every paper in the country.

1:04:18
And I don't care, because...
Let's not go all over it again.

1:04:23
You asked for it.
1:04:24
That's why I won't be seen with you
in public.

1:04:26
All you need now
is one more good scandal.

1:04:29
Why is there any scandal
in my being seen with you?

1:04:31
Because you're in the public eye
more than ever.

1:04:34
If the gossip columns link your name
with a man's now...

1:04:36
don't you see that it's going
to make you light, cheap?

1:04:39
You're taking this
much too seriously, darling.

1:04:42
- After all, it's my fight.
- And that makes it mine.

1:04:46
You're sweet.
1:04:48
If I had $5 million,
I'd give it to settle this thing.

1:04:52
Shall I drop it, Bill?
1:04:55
- Will you?
- I'll tell you tomorrow at the party.

1:04:58
Now you'll have to come.
