Baby Face Page #5

---

Are you really thinking

or just pretending to?

That's the nice part of being

with a mastermind...

...you do the thinking for both of us.

Then you're coming to Deauville?

Deauville's too crowded.

How about Biarritz?

- Not crowded enough.

- I'll tell you what.

Would you like to motor through

the chateau country?

And see all those lovely

14th-century ceilings?

You're hard to please.

No, I'm not, really.

Just a little disappointed.

Disappointed?

- In what?

- You.

- Why?

- Oh, I don't know.

I was hoping you wouldn't be

like everybody else.

Silly of me, wasn't it?

Well, I'm disappointed in myself.

Because you're beginning to upset me.

Darling...

...how long is this going on?

Aren't you happy?

These have been the three

happiest days of my life, but...

But what?

Well, I don't enjoy saying good night

to you every night...

...outside the door of your stateroom.

It's funny.

- Well, what's funny about it?

- Oh, I was just thinking.

There's not much difference being

on a yacht or on the Albany night boat.

You fool, don't you realize

I'm in love with you?

- No, you're not.

- Yes, I am.

I can't wait to get back to Paris

to buy you all the jewels in Cartier's.

To take you to the motor salons, where

you can pick out any car that you like.

I want to give you a house in Paris

and another in New York.

There isn't anything in the world

I wouldn't give you.

- That isn't love.

- I'm mad about you, and you know it.

There's only one thing I want.

Name it, and it's yours.

I'd like to have a "Mrs."

on my tombstone.

I never thought of marriage seriously.

It needn't last forever.

You could divorce me in two weeks.

- Yes, but l...

- Oh, it's all right.

Forget about it.

I just thought I'd mention it.

Are you going to miss me?

What do you mean?

I'm leaving in the morning.

Great Scott!

Did you see this?

This is a fine mess

with the condition the bank's in.

Hello, hello. This is transatlantic operator

number 16 calling lyses 6142, Paris.

Hello, hello.

Hello, hello. Monsieur Trenholm?

Transatlantic operator

is calling you from New York.

Go ahead, they are ready to talk.

Yes?

Oh, hello, Mr. Jameson.

What?

Are you sure?

Yes.

All right, I'll come immediately.

Yes, thank you.

I'm sorry, dear, but we've got to go

right back to New York.

Is anything wrong?

I'm afraid so.

They want me at the bank.

If you'd listened,

this wouldn't have happened.

Will you stop blaming Trenholm?

- It isn't his fault.

- When a bank closes...

...because of mismanagement,

who is to blame?

All of us are to blame.

- You can't hold one person responsible.

- Rot! You'll see who's held responsible.

Courtland.

- Mr. Jameson.

- Well, Courtland.

Hi, special extra here:

Trenholm indicted!

Hi, paper here!

Hi, special extra here!

Read all about it.

Trenholm indicted!

Hi, all about the big bank failure!

Hi, special extra here:

Trenholm indicted!

- Hasn't Mr. Trenholm called yet?

- No.

Bring me that pigskin case on the bed.

- Know what's in this bag?

- No.

Half a million dollars.

Someday I'll have the other half

that goes with it.

You sure will. You can get anything

you put your mind on.

What's the matter?

The bank's gone.

I've been indicted. They released me

on a half a million dollars' bail.

Bail? But what can they do to you?

Why, they're preparing another indictment.

I've got to fight it. It'll take money.

I've got to raise a million dollars tonight.

You'll have to help me.

I'll need everything I've given you...

...all your bonds and securities.

You have everything here, haven't you?

Well, haven't you?

I...

I can't do it.

What do you mean?

Lily, you've got to stick with me.

You're all I have left.

Together we can fight this thing.

You've got to help me.

No, I...

I can't do it.

I have to think of myself.

I've gone through a lot

to get those things.

My life has been bitter and hard.

I'm not like other women.

All the gentleness and kindness in me

has been killed.

All I've got are those things.

Without them, I'd be nothing.

I'd have to go back to what I was.

No.

I won't give them up.

Chico, put those things back.

Pack your trunks again.

We're sailing tonight.

Send all my luggage to the French Line pier

and get down there as quickly as you can.

I don't know, but thank you.

I know you've known men before me.

Probably more than one.

But I don't care.

It doesn't make any difference.

I love you, and someday

I'm going to make you love me.

Oh, stop that!

Now, be careful.

Thank you.

- Is Mr. Trenholm still here?

- I think so, ma'am.

Courtland.

Courtland!

Courtland!

You didn't find him, ma'am?

- Maybe he's down in his office.

- Oh, take me there.

Sometimes they work late, you know.

Courtland.

Get a doctor, quick.

Oh, darling.

Darling, don't leave me.

I'll do anything for you. Anything.

Don't go away from me, please.

Oh, I love you so much.

I love you.

I've never said that before to any man.

I never knew what it meant.

Oh, darling.

You can have everything I've got.

I'd do anything for you. Anything.

Oh, Courtland.

Don't leave me, Courtland!

Oh, my God, don't leave me!

We've done all we can, lady.

He has a good chance.

Your case slipped, lady.

You better pick it up.

It doesn't matter now.
