:55:00
I'm not quite sure I understand
about the $99,000.

:55:03
Well, you see, he just
happens to need $99,000,

:55:06
and, after all, I don't see
any reason why he shouldn't get it
if I'm throwing it out the windows.

:55:10
This is your last husband
you're talking about?
Yes.

:55:12
He wants to sell you for $99,000?
Oh, no, no. I don't think
he had any such idea at all.

:55:16
Well, what do you call it?
Well, I mean, after all, l...
He's entitled to something.

:55:20
I mean, he did protect me
and give me food, such as it was,

:55:24
and clothes,
such as they were, for a few years,
and now, if I can repay...

:55:28
But the man is a vermin.
No court of law...

:55:30
- Don't you think I'm worth $99,000?
- That has nothing to do with it.

:55:33
You're probably worth that,
twice that, three times.

:55:35
But even so, the days of serfdom...
I mean bondage...

:55:37
I mean, the days you bought
a wife for a cow are over.

:55:40
Chivalry is not only dead,
it's decomposed.

:55:44
Well, how much
did this yacht cost you?

:55:46
That is entirely beside the point.
A woman is not a vessel.

:55:49
I mean, of all the filthy things
I've heard in my life, I still...

:55:51
How does he want it?
In cash, maybe.

:55:53
In cash. So I won't stop the check,
the scoundrel! I don't mean me.
I mean whoever's...

:55:58
Oh, well, I don't think he'll
ever get it. It was just an idea.

:56:02
There is a name for such reptiles,
but I won't sully this sweet ocean breeze
by mentioning it.

:56:06
I may not be exactly in the best of shape,
but if ever I meet this Mr. Jeffers,

:56:10
I'll thrash him
within an inch of his life.

:56:13
Oh, then I hope you never meet him.
:56:15
I suppose he's large.
Well, he's not small.

:56:18
That's one of the tragedies
of this life...

:56:20
that the men who are most in need
of a beating up are always enormous.

:56:31
She's a tall, dark-haired girl
with big eyes.

:56:33
Yes, sir. You mean the young lady
that lose all her clothes.
Lost all her clothes?

:56:37
Yes, sir. But we fix her up with a blanket
when she got off atJacksonville.

:56:40
She got off atJacksonville?
Yes, sir.

:56:42
Alone?
Well, you might practically
say she's alone.

:56:45
The gentleman that got off with her
give me 10 cents from New York
toJacksonville.

:56:49
Watch your step, lady.
She's alone, but she don't know it.

:56:51
Never mind the philosophy.
Then she's atJacksonville!

:56:53
Yes, sir. No, sir. Oh, she said
that he said he was gonna take her
down there on his boat.

:56:58
I suppose she means "yachet,"
but I don't see how no gentleman
can give me a dime...
