Jeffy boy, put down the bag.
1:32:05
Where is everybody?
1:32:07
Miss Lee is in the den
waiting for breakfast.
1:32:09
But first, I have news for you.
Come, come, come.
1:32:13
Yes, I'm finished with her.
1:32:16
- You mean you're not gonna marry her?
- I am not.
1:32:18
Mr. Yardley, about that contract.
1:32:20
There's only one contract
that interests me.
1:32:22
The Elizabeth Lane contract
with Smart Housekeeping.
1:32:25
- You were perfectly right to fire her.
- Fire her?
1:32:27
I'm not going to fire her.
1:32:30
I'm going to double her salary.
1:32:42
- Who is it?
- Yardley.
1:32:44
- I want to have a few words with you.
- Come in.
1:32:49
What does he want?
1:32:51
I don't know. But I know what I want.
1:32:54
You mean to tell me Lizka
did all this because of me?
1:32:56
- Positively.
- I've got to talk with her.
1:33:00
I should wait till the fat man
comes out.
1:33:04
Listen, my boy...
1:33:05
So I've come to ask you to reconsider
leaving my employment.
1:33:08
- As I remember it, you fired me.
- I spoke in temper.
1:33:11
I want you to stay,
with a big raise, of course.
1:33:13
A raise?
1:33:14
I'll double any offer
American Housekeeping make.
1:33:17
- American Housekeeping?
- Felix told me of their offer.
1:33:20
Oh, he did, did he?
1:33:21
You wouldn't want to leave
old Yardley, would you?
1:33:24
Oh, wouldn't I?
1:33:25
I'll even give Sloan that contract.
1:33:28
Well, I'm glad of that.
1:33:30
He's a bore, but why not marry him?
1:33:31
It'd make a great difference to circulation.
Husband and wife on the same paper.
1:33:35
I can see the heading
of your next column. Quote:
1:33:37
"My dear husband now joins me
in my daily work.
1:33:40
Here we are, side by side,
fellow workers in the vineyard.
1:33:42
- My baby..."
- Unquote.
1:33:44
- You're a great fixer, aren't you?
- If you'll listen to me, you'll find...
1:33:47
- You listen to me for a change.
- Now, Miss Lane...
1:33:50
I'm tired of being pushed around,
told what to do!
1:33:52
Tired of writing your gall-darned articles,
dancing to everybody else's tune!
1:33:56
Tired of being told whom to marry!
In short, I'm tired.
