:48:01
I want you to authorize me to buy it.
:48:05
Well, I'll do whatever you think is right.
:48:09
I don't think it's right...
:48:11
...but I think it's expedient.
:48:14
Juries can sometimes be very stupid.
It's just as well not to worry them...

:48:18
...with more evidence than they can
conveniently deal with.

:48:22
Howard, I don't pretend to understand.
Do as you think best.

:48:26
-I'll pay back whatever it costs.
-Good.

:48:28
Now put the matter out of your mind.
:48:32
Too bad rubber won't grow
in a civilized climate, sir.

:48:36
Mix me another one, Jerry.
:48:38
Another, sir?
:48:40
Yes, another.
:48:42
Yes, sir.
:48:46
"Mr. and Mrs. Howard Joyce request
the pleasure of your company...

:48:49
-...at a party to be given at their home--"
-"Residence." It sounds more impressive.

:48:55
Residence.
:48:58
"On Friday, May 1 6th, in honor of their
guests Mr. and Mrs. Robert Crosbie."

:49:03
Dorothy, don't you think
it might be more appropriate...

:49:06
-...if you wrote invitations after the trial?
-Oh, do stop fussing.

:49:09
I won't send them out
until tomorrow evening, of course.

:49:13
Let's decide about the party
after the trial, shall we?

:49:16
Nonsense. We're having the party,
and you're going to stay.

:49:23
Leslie, don't tell me
that's the same tiny piece of work...

:49:26
...you were doing at the Fergusons' .
How do you go so fast?

:49:29
Well, I haven't had anything else
much to do this past month.

:49:33
What's it going to be?
:49:35
-It's too fine for a tablecloth, surely.
-It's a coverlet for our bed.

:49:41
It's lovely.
:49:43
Does anyone feel like bridge?
Or what would be nice?

:49:46
Leslie, what would you like to do?
:49:48
You mustn't go on doing that out here.
You'll ruin your eyes.

:49:51
I'm sorry, but Leslie and I have
some work to do tonight.

:49:54
I'm putting her in the witness box
tomorrow...

:49:57
...and I want to prepare her
for cross-examination.

:49:59
Bob, why don't you take the girls
to a picture?
