:02:01
Well, anyway, this house belongs to
Brad and Deborah Bishop...

:02:04
two of my dearest friends.
:02:07
Brad bought this house
before he went to war.

:02:09
It was Brad who gave me
my first black eye and...

:02:12
and my first kiss.
:02:15
Well, when he came home from the war,
he came home with a wife... Deborah.

:02:24
Thomasino said to tell you
he found room for your briefcase in the bag.

:02:27
Good for Thomasino.
:02:29
- Why'd you have him pack a bag?
- Because I know these Saturday conferences.

:02:33
A bit like Saturday poker games...
don't plan on doing anything Sunday.

:02:36
It's strange, your not letting me know
when you plan to be away overnight.

:02:39
This is just in case, darling.
There's no telling how late it'll be.

:02:43
And I like my own pajamas between me
and the sheets in a Turkish bath.

:02:47
You'll phone this afternoon,
though, either way, won't you?

:02:49
And leave word,
even if I'm not here?

:02:51
Just where might you be
when I call if not here?

:02:53
First Saturday in May, remember?
The Settlement House Picnic.

:02:55
That's right. The Women's Club thing.
Like it?

:02:58
Anything to do with kids.
You know that.

:03:00
What are you wearing tonight?
:03:02
I've got the one
you liked so much in Vogue.

:03:04
- But if you're staying in town...
- What color?

:03:07
Black, like you said.
Brad, I don't want to go without you.

:03:10
Darling, it's the first
dinner dance of the season.

:03:12
- If I only knew you were gonna be there.
- I will be if I can...

:03:15
and if I can't, why should
that throw you into a panic?

:03:17
What are you afraid of,
anyway, Deborah?

:03:21
- Good morning, Thomasino.
- Morning, Mr. Bishop.

:03:26
I'm not in a panic.
:03:28
Well, then?
:03:31
It's just that suddenly the thought
of going to that dance tonight without you...

:03:39
- Brad?
- Hmm?

:03:42
Addie Ross... she used to be
sort of your ideal, wasn't she?

:03:45
Now how did Addie
get into this conversation?

:03:47
I never knew you read Vogue.
I never thought men bothered much about it.

:03:51
What's Vogue got to do with it? I told you
I picked it up on the train coming home one night.

:03:54
- Some woman had left it behind.
- Some woman.

:03:57
Yes, some woman. I thumbed through it and
saw a dress I thought would look smart on you.
