:25:00
Oh, tell us about nature, Porter.
:25:02
It's a man's worid, yeah.
:25:04
See something you want,
go after it and get it. That's nature.

:25:07
It's why we're made strong
and women weak.

:25:09
Strong conqueror provides for the weak.
That's what a man's for.

:25:12
Teach our kids more of that,
there'll be more men.

:25:14
And more war.
Leave my kids out.

:25:17
But those standards don't apply to me, Porter...
:25:19
because in this man's worid,
I'm not a man.

:25:22
- I'm a schoolteacher.
- The dance is over.

:25:25
I knew we'd get around to that.
:25:27
All right.
Schoolteachers oughta get paid more.

:25:29
And what happens if they're not?
:25:31
How does a schoolteacher
provide for the weak?

:25:34
How does he pay the rent
with the plays and poems of Shakespeare?

:25:37
Have you been shooting off
your big mouth again?

:25:40
You just shut up till
it's time to dance again.

:25:42
Let me tell you about nature
making men strong.

:25:44
Einstein couldn't kick a football
across this dance floor...

:25:47
but he changed
the shape of the universe.

:25:49
Now, take it easy, everybody.
This is getting a little out of hand.

:25:52
You never know what he'll come up with
when he starts knocking on that brandy bottle.

:25:56
You shut up.
You just shut up.

:25:58
Isn't it fun, Deborah?
We're all pals. You know, buddies.

:26:01
Just one big happy family.
:26:05
- Why, Brad!
- Not me, but it's a good idea.

:26:09
With the compliments
of Mrs. Addie Ross.

:26:11
Oh, Porter, you were saying
something about her and Brad.

:26:13
Addie.
:26:18
- John, where is Mrs. Ross?
- I don't believe she's arrived yet, Mr. Bishop.

:26:22
That's Addie for you.
Always the right thing at the right time.

:26:26
- Thoughtful and generous.
- Generous to a fault.

:26:29
To a fault. That's Addie.
:26:31
Who is Mr. Ross?
:26:34
Mr. Ross took a powder
about five years ago.

:26:37
No such thing.
She gave him the heave-ho.

:26:39
He went out for a paper one night
and never came back.

:26:43
Porter says Addie Ross
has got class.

:26:46
And he knows class
like I know navigation.

:26:49
You stick to your guns, Porter.
It shows a healthy instinct.

:26:52
You may call it "class,"
but what Addie has is taste.

:26:56
I can buy taste.
Addie's got class.

:26:58
Taste and discrimination.
