Yes, sir.
|
You want the rest of those numbers, Mr. Dickson?
|
Numbers? No, never mind.
|
Good morning, Helen.
|
Good morning.
|
Say, I know what's the matter with you. Matt!
|
Oh!
|
Oh, no! It's not for you. You're only going to get married. Mrs. Dickson and I are going to go on the honeymoon.
|
Well, look who's here! Hello, dear.
|
Hello, darling.
|
If this isn't a redletter day for Tom Dickson! First I trample on the Board of Directors, then I promote Matt here to assistant cashier, and now to complete the day I have a visit from my sweet and lovely and gorgeous wife. What a man, what a man!
|
It's amazing that your sweet, lovely, gorgeous wife can ever get to see you.
|
Oooh! That has the earmarks!
|
What's the matter dear? What have I done now?
|
Nothing. Tom, I thought you were going out with me tonight.
|
Oh, I did have a date with you tonight, didn't I?
|
Yes.
|
I'm terribly sorry. I'd forgotten all about you. I'm so sorry, dear.
|
Now Tom, you simply cannot go to Philadelphia tonight. That's all there is to it.
|
But I have to go, dear. It's a very important banker's meeting.
|
I don't care whether it's important or not. You said you were going out with me, and if you hadn't promised so faithfully, I wouldn't have gone and planned the whole thing.
|
Listen, it isn't so terribly important. We can go to the theatre any time.
|
The theatre?
|
That's what it was you planned, wasn't it?
|
Yes, of course.
|
You can take some of the girls. You can take Mildred or Gwynn
|
The girls! I don't suppose it ever occurred to you that I might go out and find myself an attractive young man . . .
|
Ho! Ho! Ho!
|
Ho, ho, ho, yourself! I wouldn't laugh if I were you. You may not suspect it, but I'm still attractive to some.
|
Listen, don't go around being attractive to anyone but me . . .
|
Well . . .
|
Don't you forget that I'm still the head man around here too. Now we'll get the tickets changed for tomorrow night. You and I are going out together. How's that?
|
Tomorrow night?
|
All right. I'll postpone the whole thing until tomorrow night.
|
Happy now?
|
No.
|
Listen, dear. I want to ask you something. I know it's a silly thing for me to ask you, but . . . I want you to tell me the truth. Where were you last night?
|
Last night? Er why uh, last night . . .
|
Listen, dear. Now tell me the truth about this. Were you in Cluett's apartment?
|
In Cluett's apartment? Well dear, you see, I . . . I . . .
|
Good morning, Mr. Dickson.
|
John, how's your wife this morning?
|
Much better this morning, thank you.
|
Got a handkerchief?
|
Excuse me
|
Wait a minute. How do you feel this morning?
|
I'm feeling fine this morning.
|
That makes it unanimous. I feel all right too.
|
Thank you!
|
Shall we let the people come in?
|
Of course, let them in! You're late now.
|
Good morning, Mr. Dickson. My wife is much better this morning.
|
Well, that's too bad. Mine's all right too.
|
Are the payrolls ready for tomorrow?
|
Yes, sir.
|
Let me see your cash book, will you?
|
Now?
|
Yes, now.
|
The butler said I could stay. I told him it was important.
|
Oh, yeah?
|
Well, I thought I'd like to have a little talk with you.
|
I'm listening.
|
It's funny now that I'm here, I don't know just how to go about it. You see, I kind of expected to find you here alone.
|
Anything you have to say to me, you can say in the morning.
|
Oh no, Mr. Cluett, if it's all the same to you, I'd rather not wait. It's about you and Mrs. Dickson.
|
I'm not interested in what you think.
|
You've no right to do this to her, Mr. Cluett. Why don't you think it over? It's only gonna get you into a lot of trouble.
|
I tell you, I'm not interested in your opinion.
|
No? Then maybe you'll understand, Mrs. Dickson. Oh, gee, he's crazy about you. Nobody knows it better than you. If he ever finds out, it'll kill him.
|
Phyllis, you don't have to explain anything. You'd do well to mind your own business.
|
This is my business. Mr. Dickson's been like a father to me. What has he ever done to you to deserve a deal like this?
|
That will be just about enough! Now get out of here!
|
I guess I have said enough I'm just wasting my breath talking to you.
|
This won't do. Not during business hours . . .
|
Why, I needed a
|
What is the matter with you? You're trembling?
|
Am I? Why, I I don't know any reason why I should be, unless of course it's you . . .
|
Me?
|
Being alone with you has always done this to me. You know that.
|
For a celebrated bounder, that is an awful admission. Besides, I never knew that any female could do this to you .
|
Well, you can. You always could.
|
Liar! You're just suffering from lack of sleep.
|
Here, here, here, now! Don't you go back to work on me, too. I'm getting tired of this. Besides, it's beginning to affect your looks
|
What is?
|
running around. Not your work. You'd better start reforming, Cyril!
|
If I thought you were the slightest bit interested, I would.
|
Not bad, not bad at all. Do you know something? I've always been curious about your line.
|
Line?
|
Whatever it is that makes you such a riot with women.
|
Come on Cyril, try a little bit of it out on me. I haven't had any firstclass blarney thrown at me since the day I was married.
|
But you see, it isn't blarney where you're concerned.
|
Now let me see, what comes next? Oh yes, I know what are you doing tonight, Phyllis?
|
Doesn't that come next?
|
Yes, yes, it does. What are you doing tonight, Phyllis?
|
See, we're getting along famously!
|
Oh! Oh, no! I think I've done enough experimenting for one day. Congratulations, Cyril. You've convinced me that you're a philanderer of the very first order. I shall recommend you highly.
|
Please, please don't laugh at me, Phyllis. I must see you tonight!
|
But I'm giving a party for him a real, oldfashioned surprise party. Caps, bells, whistles, and everything. I'm really terribly excited about it. I've been planning it for months.
|
Well
|
Well, what?
