Psst.

:10:12
Hey, Mike,
come here a minute.

:10:16
Take a gander inside, will ya, and see
if the manager's gone to dinner.
I don't wanna see him face-to-face.

:10:21
Sure. But if it's the rent
you're thinking about, you can go in
and whistle up his nose. It's paid.

:10:26
It's paid? What do you mean,
it's paid?
It's paid.

:10:28
Who paid it?
Your wife.

:10:30
My wife?
Well, I'm sure it wasn't mine.
An old man give her the money.

:10:34
An old man give her the money?
What do you mean, an old man
gave her the money?

:10:36
I said I'm taking you to dinner
and then the theater and then supper,
so hurry up and put on your dinner jacket.

:10:42
Just a minute.
What's all this malarkey...

:10:45
about some old man paying the rent
for you that the whole building
is buzzing with?

:10:49
Oh, it's not malarkey, darling.
Here's the receipted bill.

:10:52
You see? It says "paid."
And I paid the butcher
and the grocer and the drugstore.

:10:55
And I got this dress
and had my hair done and six pairs
of stockings and some new shoes.

:11:00
And here's $14 in change.
That's for you.

:11:03
Isn't it wonderful?
Sensational. But you haven't
quite answered my question yet.

:11:07
What question, dear?
Why this alleged old man
gave you... How much is it?

:11:10
Seven hundred dollars.
Seven hundred dollars.

:11:12
Why?
No reason.

:11:14
Oh, is that so? He just...
Seven hundred dollars, just like that?
Just like that.

:11:18
I mean, sex didn't even
enter into it?
Oh, but of course it did, darling.

:11:22
I don't think he'd have given it to me
if I had hair like excelsior
and little short legs like an alligator.

:11:27
Sex always has something
to do with it, dear.
I see.

:11:30
From the time you're about so big
and wondering why your girlfriends' fathers
are getting so arch all of a sudden.

:11:35
Nothing wrong.
Just an overture to the opera
that's coming.

:11:40
- I see.
- You don't really,
but from then on,

:11:43
you get it from cops,
taxi drivers, bellboys,
delicatessen dealers.

:11:46
- Got what?
- The look. You know:
"How's about this evening, babe?"

:11:51
- So this gent gave you the look.
- The Wienie King? Oh, no.

:11:55
Oh, at his age, darling,
it was really more of a blink.
Really? This is very illuminating.
