: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.
:54:00
That's why I've been
a little cautious.
:54:02
You're afraid somebody'll
marry you for your money.
Oh, I expect that.
:54:05
When money reaches certain
proportions, you can't ignore it
any more than you can a-a...
:54:09
A horse in a bedroom.
I wasn't thinking exactly of that,
but it'll serve.
:54:13
I see marriage
as a sort of permanent welding,
:54:16
a growing together of two trees,
in spite of anything my sister
can demonstrate to the contrary,
:54:20
into a sort of permanent
mess... mass,
:54:22
like a permanent grafting of two trees
into a permanent graft.
:54:27
Oh, that one's too easy.
:54:29
Oh, you mean a permanent graft...
:54:31
I get it. But it doesn't have to be.
It can be very nice, I'm sure.
:54:35
Oh, it can be.
And after the divorce,
you have plans?
:54:38
Oh, yes.
Anybody I know? I know
almost everybody in Palm Beach.
:54:41
Oh, no. I haven't picked him out yet.
Just some very rich man.
:54:45
Some very rich man?
:54:47
Oh, I wasn't thinking
of anyone as rich as you.
That might get to be annoying.
:54:51
It is.
Is it? No, I just meant
somebody who's well-fixed...
:54:55
and could spare the $99,000
without missing it too much.
