:38:00
Come in, Linda.
:38:04
Is it yes?
:38:06
Father, I knew you'd do it.
:38:08
-Be careful, you'll put my cigar out.
-What's a cigar on a night like this?
:38:12
Darling, I'm so glad. Have you told Johnny?
:38:15
-I haven't had time.
-Telephone him right away.
:38:19
Well, then let's ring bells.
Let's send up skyrockets.
:38:23
Let's turn on all the lights in the house.
:38:27
Father, aren't you proud of yourself?
:38:31
Gee, this would have made Mother happy.
:38:33
Mother, you'd love him.
:38:36
Don't forget I'm to give the party
to announce the engagement.
:38:39
I've got it all planned. Just a few people,
Johnny's friends and Julia's...
:38:43
...and up in the old playroom.
:38:45
No formalities, no white ties,
no engraved invitations.
:38:59
I like your tie, too.
:39:01
-By the way, where's Linda?
-She'll be down soon. I'm sure she will.
:39:04
-She just hates big parties.
-But not this one?
:39:07
Johnny, look at Father.
He's just seething with excitement.
:39:17
You've won his heart completely.
:39:19
-He's been awfully nice to me.
-Father's such a dear.
:39:22
He made all the arrangements
for the party himself.
:39:24
Is that the fellow?
:39:28
He's rather good-looking at least.
:39:30
-Hello, Uncle Edward.
-Good evening.
:39:33
-Seton.
-Good evening, Uncle Edward.
:39:36
There's Laura and Seton Cram.
He's my cousin.
:39:39
Darling, tell me, when are you to announce
the exciting news about Julia?
:39:43
Shortly after midnight as a surprise.
:39:45
Well, Julia seems divinely happy.
:39:48
What does Linda say? You know,
we haven't seen Linda all evening.
:39:51
Linda has been somewhat indisposed.
If asked, please explain she has a headache.
:39:56
Yes, of course, Linda's headaches.
:39:58
Now, don't worry, darling,
we understand perfectly.
