:52:00
NotJohn D. Hackensacker!
:52:03
Oh, I'm not my grandfather, of course.
He's dead anyway. I'm John D. The Third.

:52:07
Well, then you're one
of the richest men in the worid.

:52:10
Yes, I suppose so.
I would step on your face.

:52:13
That's quite all right.
I rather enjoyed it.

:52:15
Twice!
You made quite an impressiĆ³n.

:52:18
May I get you a rug, madam?
Oh, no, thank you.

:52:20
Will you dine on deck,
Mr. Hackensacker, or in the saloon?

:52:24
We can have it on deck, if you like,
but it blows everything all over the place.

:52:28
There are a lot of inconveniences
to yachting that most people
don't know anything about.

:52:32
Give me the peaceful train.
In the saloon, please.

:52:35
Very good, madam.
:52:38
See what I mean?
I just happen to own this thing,
or I'd never go near it.

:52:42
Did you say you wereJohn D.
The Third or the Fourth?

:52:44
The Third. The Fourth
will be my son, when I marry.

:52:47
Oh. Then it really didn't mean anything
to you to buy me all those things, did it?

:52:51
Well, I can't pretend that it was
a great sacrifice, but it did give me
a great deal of pleasure.

:52:55
You like to write
in your little book.

:52:57
It used to please my grandfather.
It's just a habit. It's nonsense really.

:53:00
I write things down,
but I never add them up.

:53:03
Where are you staying
in Palm Beach?
Oh, no place yet.

:53:07
Where are you staying?
:53:09
At my sister's.
Oh, yes, the princess.
Or is it the duchess?

:53:12
Princess Centimillia.
Of course.

:53:16
What are you going
to Palm Beach for?

:53:18
A divorce.
Oh.

:53:20
Well, you needn't look so sour about it.
Your sister's been divorced five times,
hasn't she?

:53:24
No, no. Three.
She was annulled twice.

:53:27
Oh. Well, I've never
been divorced before.

:53:29
Good. By the way,
what is your name?

:53:32
Oh, Jeffers. GeraldineJeffers.
:53:35
Was he brutal to you?
:53:37
Oh, not particularly.
:53:40
A drunkard, huh?
:53:42
No, not congenital
or anything like that.

:53:44
Women always protect
the man they've been married to.

:53:47
Yes, I suppose it's human nature.
:53:49
Did he beat you?
:53:51
Not often.
The hound.

:53:53
Oh, a man's a man, I suppose.
They're all tarred with the same brush.

:53:57
How brave you are. When I marry,
there'll be no divorce.
