897

00:
47:24,374 -- 00:47:26,865

Say, when I say a surprise,

I mean a surprise.

898

00:
47:26,944 -- 00:47:28,639

Go on, flash it to her.

899

00:
47:28,712 -- 00:47:31,078

Put on your sunglasses, Sugie.

900

00:
47:31,715 -- 00:47:34,582

- Oh, boy.

- Seven grand boiled into that one, Sugie.

901

00:
47:35,385 -- 00:47:37,751

Joe doesn't have to bribe me

just because I do him a little favor.

902

00:
47:37,821 -- 00:47:39,379

It's not a bribe, don't take it like that.

903

00:
47:39,456 -- 00:47:40,616

Let him try and get it back though.

904

00:
47:40,691 -- 00:47:41,851

Say, it's not your size, is it?

905

00:
47:41,925 -- 00:47:43,790

Lt'll do, if I have to whittle down my finger.

906

00:
47:43,861 -- 00:47:46,091

Third finger, left hand, Sugie.

907

00:
47:46,163 -- 00:47:48,256

- Who do you think you're kidding?

- The future Mrs. Joe Lilac.

908

00:
47:48,332 -- 00:47:50,129

- Come again?

- Wedding bells, sweetheart.

909

00:
47:50,200 -- 00:47:51,792

Joe and the lawyer have got it

all figured out.

910

00:
47:51,869 -- 00:47:53,666

Yeah, a wife can't testify

against husband, see.

911

00:
47:53,737 -- 00:47:55,068

Don't put it like that, you dope.

912

00:
47:55,138 -- 00:47:59,336

Say, he's been thataway about you

ever since he first picked you out.

913

00:
47:59,409 -- 00:48:01,843

Yeah, but it took the DA

to make him pop the question.

914

00:
48:01,912 -- 00:48:03,038

He sent you a love message.

915

00:
48:03,113 -- 00:48:06,139

He says to tell you he gets more bang

out of you than any dame he ever knew.

916

00:
48:06,216 -- 00:48:09,413

And he's the top, Sugie,

do you realize that? He's the top.

917

00:
48:09,519 -- 00:48:10,986

Mrs. Joe Lilac.

918

00:
48:11,054 -- 00:48:13,716

Third Avenue girl

in the major league at last.

919

00:
48:13,790 -- 00:48:16,088

Wait till they find out,

those other dolls in the show.

920

00:
48:16,159 -- 00:48:18,252

Watch me break their crockery with this.

921

00:
48:18,328 -- 00:48:19,920

Here, here,

the wedding's got to be a fast one, though.

922

00:
48:19,997 -- 00:48:21,259

Over in New Jersey someplace.

923

00:
48:21,331 -- 00:48:23,765

Now, this is the application for the license,

and you sign right here.

924

00:
48:23,834 -- 00:48:25,495

- Will I? You got a pen?

- Yeah.

925

00:
48:25,569 -- 00:48:27,799

- Unscrew it for Mrs. Lilac.

- Right here, right here.

926

00:
48:27,871 -- 00:48:28,963

You know, I can't make up my mind.

927

00:
48:29,039 -- 00:48:33,373

Will I continue my night club career

or bust in on the Helen Hayes racket?

928

00:
48:33,443 -- 00:48:35,206

Say, this ought to be signed

before a notary public.

929

00:
48:35,279 -- 00:48:37,975

I'm a notary public,

permission expires 1943.

930

00:
48:38,048 -- 00:48:39,777

Were those pajamas a good investment.

931

00:
48:39,850 -- 00:48:41,875

You'll get the final dope

by tomorrow morning.

932

00:
48:41,952 -- 00:48:43,044

Joe will phone around 10:00.

933

00:
48:43,120 -- 00:48:45,554

Now, meantime lie low

and stick close to the Ameche.

934

00:
48:45,622 -- 00:48:47,920

- Okay, the what?

- The telephone.

935

00:
48:52,396 -- 00:48:55,229

- Miss Sugarpuss.

- You'd better duck.

936

00:
48:55,299 -- 00:48:57,392

- Okay, 10:
00, I'll be waiting.

- Okay, okay.

937

00:
48:57,467 -- 00:48:59,435

- Miss Sugarpuss.

- Here I am.

938

00:
48:59,503 -- 00:49:01,403

Just getting a little air.

939

00:
49:01,471 -- 00:49:04,031

- Miss O'Shea.

- What's buzzing, cousin?

940

00:
49:04,107 -- 00:49:06,507

Professor Potts would...

941

00:
49:06,576 -- 00:49:09,443

He wishes to speak to you.

942

00:
49:09,813 -- 00:49:11,075

- Yes.

- Yes.

943

00:
49:11,148 -- 00:49:13,378

Don't worry, kids, cheer up.

944

00:
49:13,450 -- 00:49:14,439

(CLICKING TONGUE)

945

00:
49:14,918 -- 00:49:17,148

- Shut the door, please.

- Sure.

946

00:
49:21,224 -- 00:49:24,682

- Take this chair, please, Miss O'Shea.

- This particular one?

947

00:
49:24,761 -- 00:49:25,887

Okay.

948

00:
49:29,032 -- 00:49:31,000

- Open your mouth, please.

- Hmm?

949

00:
49:31,068 -- 00:49:33,536

Open your mouth. Wider.

950

00:
49:34,671 -- 00:49:35,695

Thank you.

951

00:
49:35,772 -- 00:49:37,330

- Can I close it now?

- Please do.

952

00:
49:37,407 -- 00:49:38,704

- Okay.

- Miss O'Shea.

953

00:
49:38,775 -- 00:49:39,799

Yeah?

954

00:
49:39,876 -- 00:49:43,243

Circumstances, under, over which

neither of us has the least control,

955

00:
49:43,313 -- 00:49:46,373

force me to a step

I am most reluctant to take.

956

00:
49:47,684 -- 00:49:50,676

The sky is perfectly clear.

The thermometer stands at 76.

957

00:
49:50,754 -- 00:49:53,848

Your throat seems quite normal.

I must ask you to leave.

958

00:
49:53,924 -- 00:49:55,983

Leave here? Why?

959

00:
49:56,059 -- 00:49:58,892

Miss O'Shea,

I want you to look at our project,

960

00:
49:58,962 -- 00:50:02,125

I mean the encyclopedia, as a voyage,

961

00:
50:02,199 -- 00:50:04,667

a long, hard, tedious one.

962

00:
50:04,735 -- 00:50:06,794

A voyage from "A" to "Z."

963

00:
50:06,870 -- 00:50:08,735

Now, when the Foundation

launched our vessel,

964

00:
50:08,805 -- 00:50:13,265

it very wisely followed an old rule

of the sea, no women aboard.

965

00:
50:13,343 -- 00:50:16,210

It chose a crew of single men

with nothing to distract them

966

00:
50:16,279 -- 00:50:17,871

from the course they were to sail.

967

00:
50:17,948 -- 00:50:21,145

Say, junior, couldn't stop

walking around a little, could you?

968

00:
50:21,218 -- 00:50:24,346

For four days, we have been drifting,

Miss O'Shea.

969

00:
50:24,421 -- 00:50:26,753

The needle of the compass

no longer points to the magnetic pole.

970

00:
50:26,823 -- 00:50:29,451

It points, if I may say so, to your ankles.

971

00:
50:29,526 -- 00:50:31,824

Come now, Admiral,

a bunch of grown men,

972

00:
50:31,895 -- 00:50:33,886

they've seen a pair of ankles before.

973

00:
50:33,964 -- 00:50:35,454

Not for nine years.

974

00:
50:35,532 -- 00:50:39,525

Except for the singularly uninspiring

underpinnings of Miss Bragg.

975

00:
50:39,603 -- 00:50:41,002

Now, my colleagues...

976

00:
50:41,071 -- 00:50:43,301

If you think I'm bothering them,

I'll sit on my legs.

977

00:
50:43,373 -- 00:50:45,773

- And I'll do it in my room or in the kitchen.

- Too late.

978

00:
50:45,842 -- 00:50:49,073

- You must leave, Miss O'Shea.

- Well, I can't leave now.

979

00:
50:49,146 -- 00:50:51,637

How about that slang?

It's not finished yet.

980

00:
50:51,715 -- 00:50:53,615

There's a lot of words

we haven't caught up with.

981

00:
50:53,683 -- 00:50:56,516

For instance, do you know what this

means, "I'll get you on the Ameche"?

982

00:
50:56,586 -- 00:50:57,814

- No.

- Of course, you don't.

983

00:
50:57,888 -- 00:50:59,253

An Ameche is the telephone.

984

00:
50:59,322 -- 00:51:01,153

- On account of he invented it.

- Oh, no, he didn't.

985

00:
51:01,224 -- 00:51:05,854
