:40:01
Oh, I can't. My husband and I
are going to a cocktail party.
:40:05
Dr. McClure is giving a party
for his sister from Wichita.
:40:07
Oh! I didn't know Dr. McClure
had a sister in Wichita.
:40:10
You know Dr. McClure?
No.
:40:12
But you... But are you sure you wouldn't
have time to come with me and have a drink?
:40:17
No, I can't. I'll tell
you what I'll do, however.
:40:20
What will you do, however?
I'm interested.
:40:23
If I meet your friend inside, I'll
be glad to give him a message for you.
:40:26
Would you do that for me? I
certainly would appreciate that.
:40:29
Just tell him to meet me
downtown if he has no other plans.
:40:32
Any particular place
downtown? No, he knows where.
:40:36
Harvey knows this town like a book.
How will I recognize your friend?
:40:40
Oh, you can't miss him,
Mrs. Chumley. He's a "pooka."
:40:44
A pooka?
Is that something new?
:40:48
No, no. As I understand it,
that's something very old.
:40:51
But Harvey's not only a pooka,
he's also my best friend.
:40:55
Oh, if Harvey's said to me once, I'll
bet he's said probably a million times.
:41:01
He said, "Mr. Dowd,
I would do anything for you."
:41:05
How sweet.
:41:07
Yeah. He's also very fond
of my sister Veta.
:41:10
But Veta doesn't seem
to care for Harvey.
:41:13
Don't you think that's rather
too bad, Mrs. Chumley?
:41:15
I don't know. I gave up long ago
expecting my family to like my friends.
:41:19
It's useless! We must
keep on trying, mustn't we?
:41:22
Oh, yes.
Well, good-bye.
:41:24
Good-bye.
:41:26
Leslie, did he say
"pooka"?
:41:28
Yes, ma'am.
That's what the man said.
:41:47
Your pass? Oh! Yes, sir.
:41:49
There you are.
:41:51
Dowd.
