2:01:00
Will you give it to her
for me, please? Thank you.
2:01:04
Oh, Hilda. You and the cook
have been very patient...
2:01:08
...but it's high time
I paid your salaries.
2:01:11
I owe you for two months, I believe.
2:01:13
Miss Brice paid us, sir. All that
was owed and three months in advance.
2:01:18
I mean, Mrs. Arnstein paid us.
2:01:21
Miss Brice paid you.
2:01:25
I'll get it, thank you.
2:01:29
- There you are.
- Am I late?
2:01:31
No, I just beat you in.
Let's go in here.
2:01:34
I'll mix us a drink.
You can tell me what you have in mind.
2:01:39
Hey, nice place, Nick.
2:01:40
It's comfortable and very convenient.
2:01:43
- Water or soda, Tom?
- Straight. I haven't got much time.
2:01:47
The place is getting crowded
earlier these days.
2:01:50
When you do that well,
it's good trouble.
2:01:53
That's what I want
to talk to you about.
2:01:56
- I didn't know you were home.
- Hello, darling.
2:01:59
Mr. Branca, I haven't
seen you for ages.
2:02:01
I've been dying to see your show,
but I've been so busy.
2:02:04
I just dropped by
to make Nick a proposition.
2:02:07
If it's some new way of marking cards,
Nick, don't listen.
2:02:11
Aside from that, I'll leave you.
But I'm dying of curiosity.
2:02:14
Come back, silly.
Get yourself a drink and sit down.
2:02:18
- All right with you?
- Of course. It's all in the family.
2:02:21
- Sit down and start propositioning.
- All right.
2:02:27
Well, as I told you, the place...
2:02:30
No, thanks.
The place is doing awfully well.
2:02:33
So well that some money men approached
me about opening another one.
2:02:38
It's getting very fashionable.
2:02:41
I'd like to. I think it would go.
2:02:43
But I can't possibly run
two places single-handed.
2:02:47
And they don't know
anything about this business.
2:02:49
So I told them about you.
2:02:51
The long and short of it is,
we want you as a partner.
2:02:55
With an extra cut for running
the place. How's it strike you?
2:02:58
Pleasantly. I'm flattered, naturally.
