1:55:00
He never went home.
1:55:02
- You sat and talked until it was light?
- We sat and talked, Addison.
1:55:07
I want a run-of-the-play contract.
1:55:11
There never was, and there
never will be, another like you.
1:55:16
Well, say something. Anything.
1:55:19
Congratulations. SkäI. Good work, Eve.
1:55:28
- What do you take me for?
- I don't knowthat I "take you" for anything.
1:55:32
Is it possible thatyou've confused me
1:55:35
with those backward children
you've played tricks on?
1:55:39
That you have the same contempt
for me as for them?
1:55:41
I'm sure you mean something,
but I don't know what.
1:55:44
Look closely, Eve. It's time you did.
1:55:47
I am Addison DeWitt.
I'm nobody's fool, least of all yours.
1:55:52
- I never intended you to be.
- Yes, you did, and you still do.
1:55:56
I don't know whatyou mean.
But I want to take my nap. It's important...
1:55:59
- It's important that we talk, killer to killer.
- Champion to champion.
1:56:03
Not with me, you're no champion.
You're stepping up.
1:56:06
Please say whatyou have to say, plainly
and distinctly, and then let me take my nap.
1:56:10
Very well. Although it's unnecessary,
because you know what I'm going to say.
1:56:16
Lloyd may leave Karen,
but he will not leave Karen for you.
1:56:20
- What do you mean by that?
- More plainly and more distinctly?
1:56:24
I have not come to New Haven
to see the play, discuss your dreams,
1:56:28
or pull the ivy from the walls of Yale.
1:56:30
I came to tell you thatyou will
not marry Lloyd, or anyone else,
1:56:34
because I will not permit it.
1:56:36
- What have you got to do with it?
- Everything.
1:56:39
Because after tonightyou will belong to me.
1:56:42
Belong? To you?
1:56:47
I can't believe my ears.
1:56:49
A dull cliché.
1:56:51
"Belong" to you?
1:56:53
That sounds medieval.
Something out of an old melodrama.
1:56:56
So does the history of the world
for the past 20 years.
1:56:59
I don't enjoy putting it this bluntly.
