:30:01
This is Mr. Dallas, whom your mother
has known for such a long time.
:30:04
John.
:30:05
- How do you do?
- Lee.
:30:07
- And Cornelius.
- Con.
:30:09
He doesn't like
to be called Cornelius.
:30:11
I do too.
It was my father's name.
:30:15
- Was?
- Con's the man of the family now.
:30:18
He looks after us all so beautifully.
His father would be very proud.
:30:21
Splendid. Nothing but the finest care
would be good enough for your mother.
:30:25
But, Stephen,
tell us about you.
:30:27
I gave up all thought of ever
seeing you again such a long time ago.
:30:30
- What are you doing here?
- New York? I'm in business here.
:30:33
If you mean this store, I'm buying
birthday presents for my daughter.
:30:35
Your daughter? Oh, Stephen.
:30:39
- Here she is.
- Oh, she's pretty.
:30:42
- When may we meet her and her mother?
- They're not here.
:30:45
Laurel goes to school near Boston,
and her mother spends her time with her.
:30:48
I have so many things to hear
and to tell.
:30:51
- Can you lunch with us?
- I should be back at the office now.
:30:55
We'd be glad to have you, if you
don't mind carrying your own tray.
:30:59
John's been saving up for a whole month
to take us to lunch. It's his treat.
:31:02
That's all right. I got enough for
one more, if you don't eat too much.
:31:06
How 'bout it, Mr. Dallas?
:31:09
- I can't refuse an offer like that.
- Oh, good. Come along.
:31:12
If you run short,
I'll lend you a couple of dollars.
:31:14
Gee, thanks.
:31:17
Oh, books again.
:31:21
I've got a good mind to tell him
she can get books from the library.
:31:24
But there's no place where you
can get a fur coat for nothing.
:31:28
Boy, what I wouldn't give
to see her in one.
:31:34
Oh, well. Here.
:31:35
Hide them with the rest
and let me get on with this...
:31:38
or it won't be ready for Christmas,
let alone her birthday.
:31:44
- Gladys, where's Mother?
- Now, let me see.
:31:46
She's--
:31:48
- Hello, Mother.
- Hello, darling.
:31:51
Miss Phillibrown, my teacher,
came home with me.
:31:53
- She wants to see you.
- If I'd known, I could have fixed up.
:31:56
Look at me. I'm a sight.
Look at the things all--
:31:59
Oh, dear.
