:15:01
You're not limping, Commander.
:15:05
It's the Arabian Nights.
:15:07
Do you have chests of rubies
in the bathroom?

:15:09
Just perfumes and liquor.
:15:11
I've heard about this room, Commander.
:15:13
All the girls talk about it,
but I just couldn't believe it.

:15:16
Bergdorf Goodman, Saks Fifth Avenue,
Lord & Taylor.

:15:18
Sheila's right.
It is the swankiest shop in town.

:15:23
Good heavens! Arpege perfume.
:15:25
How did you manage Arpege
with the Germans in Paris?

:15:28
There are Germans in Paris, aren't there?
:15:30
There is a war on, I think.
:15:32
You Americans must have heard
something about it, I'm sure.

:15:35
Just pick out a dress, honey,
and be back at 5:30.

:15:38
You American-haters bore me to tears,
Miss Barham.

:15:41
I've dealt with Europeans all my life.
:15:43
I know all about us parvenus
from the States...

:15:46
who come over here and race around
your old cathedral towns...

:15:48
with our cameras and Coca-Cola bottles.
:15:50
Brawl in your pubs, paw your women,
and act like we own the world.

:15:54
We over tip. We talk too loud.
:15:56
We think we can buy anything
with a Hershey bar.

:15:58
I've had Germans and Italians tell me...
:16:00
how politically ingenuous we are.
:16:02
And perhaps so.
:16:03
But we haven't managed a Hitler
or Mussolini yet.

:16:05
I've had Frenchmen call me a savage...
:16:07
because I only took half an hour for lunch.
:16:09
The only reason the French
take two hours for lunch...

:16:11
is because the service
in their restaurants is lousy.

:16:14
The most tedious lot are you British.
:16:16
We crass Americans didn't introduce war
into your little island.

:16:20
This war, Miss Barham, to which
we Americans are so insensitive...

:16:23
is the result of 2,000 years
of European greed...

:16:25
barbarism, superstition, and stupidity.
:16:27
Don't blame it on our Coca-Cola bottles.
:16:29
Europe was a going brothel
long before we came to town.

:16:32
Dear me. What an outburst.
:16:34
So lay off, Mrs. Miniver.
:16:36
If you don't like Hershey bars,
don't take them.

:16:38
Pick yourself a frock, or get out.
:16:40
It's not my job to listen
to your sentimental contempt.

:16:42
I could almost believe
you flew for the RAF.

:16:45
I never flew for the RAF, and you know it.
:16:47
You didn't expect me
to believe you for a minute, did you?

:16:50
Not for a minute.
:16:51
But why, Commander?
:16:53
You're here, Miss Barham.
:16:56
Yes, so I am.
:16:58
You're a complete rascal.
