:38:01
The caterer forgot them.
The varnish wasn't dry or something.
:38:04
Of course.
:38:17
Looks like I'm going
to have a fancy party.
:38:19
- I thoughtyou were going to be late.
- Well, I'm guest of honour.
:38:23
I had no idea you were even here.
:38:25
I ran into Eve
and she told me you were dressing.
:38:28
That's never stopped you before.
:38:32
She wanted to know about Hollywood.
She seemed so interested...
:38:35
- She's a girl of so many interests.
- It's a pretty rare quality these days.
:38:39
- A girl of so many rare qualities.
- So she seems.
:38:43
So you've pointed out so often.
:38:45
So many qualities so often.
:38:47
Her Ioyalty, efficiency, devotion, warmth
and affection, and so young.
:38:51
So young and so fair.
:38:55
I can't believe you're making this up.
:38:57
It sounds like something
out of an old Clyde Fitch play.
:39:00
Clyde Fitch, though you may not think so,
was well before my time.
:39:04
I always deny thatyou were in Our American
Cousin the night Lincoln was shot.
:39:08
- I don't thinkthat's funny.
- Of course it is.
:39:11
This is all too laughable to be anything else.
:39:14
You know what I feel
about your age obsession.
:39:16
And this getting into a jealous froth because
I spent ten minutes with a stage-struck kid.
:39:21
- 20!
- 30 minutes, 40 minutes. What of it?
:39:23
Stage-struck. She's a young lady of qualities.
:39:26
And I'm fed up with both
the young lady and her qualities.
:39:30
Studying me as if I were a play or a blueprint.
:39:33
How I walk, talk, think, act, sleep.
:39:36
How can you take offence at a kid
trying to be like her ideal?
:39:40
Stop calling her a kid.
:39:44
As it happens, there are
particular aspects of my life
:39:47
to which I would like to maintain
sole and exclusive rights and privileges.
:39:52
- For instance, what?
- For instance, you.
:39:57
This is my cue to take you
in my arms and reassure you.
