Ball of Fire Page #12

- You know, in the movies.

- I see what you mean. Very interesting.

986

00:
51:05,996 -- 00:51:09,659

Make no mistake, I shall regret

the absence of your keen mind.

987

00:
51:09,733 -- 00:51:13,794

Unfortunately, it is inseparable

from an extremely disturbing body.

988

00:
51:13,870 -- 00:51:15,098

(WHISTLING)

989

00:
51:15,172 -- 00:51:17,470

All right. I'll go, only don't shove.

990

00:
51:17,541 -- 00:51:20,237

- I'll leave sometime tomorrow.

- Not tomorrow. Right away.

991

00:
51:20,310 -- 00:51:22,437

- But I tell you I've got a...

- I insist, Miss O'Shea.

992

00:
51:22,512 -- 00:51:23,945

Oh, Crabapple Annie.

993

00:
51:24,014 -- 00:51:25,675

- Listen, Pottsy...

- Crabapple Annie?

994

00:
51:25,749 -- 00:51:27,910

Why, that implies

that I'm puritanical and narrow-minded.

995

00:
51:27,984 -- 00:51:29,008

Yeah.

996

00:
51:29,086 -- 00:51:31,782

I am a perfectly normal man

with perfectly normal instincts.

997

00:
51:31,855 -- 00:51:34,323

- But an awful high boiling point.

- Not even that.

998

00:
51:34,391 -- 00:51:37,189

I, too, have been acutely aware

of your presence.

999

00:
51:37,260 -- 00:51:39,057

- You have?

- Twice, to be exact.

1000

00:
51:39,129 -- 00:51:40,460

Once when you leaned over my shoulder

1001

00:
51:40,530 -- 00:51:42,464

to correct my spelling of

the word "boogie-woogie,"

1002

00:
51:42,532 -- 00:51:44,261

I could feel your breath on my ear.

1003

00:
51:44,334 -- 00:51:46,768

And yesterday afternoon when you

happened to stand against the window

1004

00:
51:46,837 -- 00:51:49,135

with the sunlight in your hair.

1005

00:
51:50,874 -- 00:51:54,037

- What'd you do about it?

- I left the room,

1006

00:
51:54,111 -- 00:51:55,703

dipped my handkerchief in cold water

1007

00:
51:55,779 -- 00:51:57,679

and applied it to the back of

my neck right there,

1008

00:
51:57,747 -- 00:52:00,807

- where the nerve center is.

- That's cute.

1009

00:
52:00,884 -- 00:52:03,944

You see, that's the basic difference

between me and the other professors.

1010

00:
52:04,020 -- 00:52:06,750

We are all beguiled,

but I am relatively young.

1011

00:
52:06,823 -- 00:52:08,120

I can suppress temptation.

1012

00:
52:08,191 -- 00:52:11,752

I generate enough energy

to take precautionary measures.

1013

00:
52:12,963 -- 00:52:16,421

A little sun on my hair

and you had to water your neck.

1014

00:
52:18,502 -- 00:52:20,936

Perhaps I shouldn't have mentioned it,

Miss O'Shea,

1015

00:
52:21,004 -- 00:52:22,869

but I'm merely trying to point out the fact

1016

00:
52:22,939 -- 00:52:25,772

that the success of our enterprise

is at stake.

1017

00:
52:25,842 -- 00:52:27,901

I want you to...

1018

00:
52:31,748 -- 00:52:33,272

Cooperate.

1019

00:
52:33,350 -- 00:52:35,113

I want you to leave.

1020

00:
52:36,219 -- 00:52:38,016

All right, I'll go.

1021

00:
52:38,922 -- 00:52:42,153

But if I'm going to go anyway,

I guess I might as well spill it.

1022

00:
52:42,225 -- 00:52:44,489

Spill it? Spill what?

1023

00:
52:44,561 -- 00:52:46,324

Why do you suppose

I came here in the first place?

1024

00:
52:46,396 -- 00:52:47,454

To help with the research.

1025

00:
52:47,531 -- 00:52:49,522

- I did not. I came on account of you.

- Me?

1026

00:
52:49,599 -- 00:52:51,533

And not on account of

you needed some slang.

1027

00:
52:51,601 -- 00:52:53,296

On account of

because I wanted to see you again.

1028

00:
52:53,370 -- 00:52:55,964

Miss O'Shea, the construction

"on account of because"

1029

00:
52:56,039 -- 00:52:57,734

outrages every grammatical law.

1030

00:
52:57,807 -- 00:53:00,605

So what? I came on account of

because I couldn't stop thinking about you

1031

00:
53:00,677 -- 00:53:02,440

after you left my dressing room.

1032

00:
53:02,512 -- 00:53:07,074

On account of because I thought

you were big and cute and pretty.

1033

00:
53:07,150 -- 00:53:08,481

- Pretty?

- Yeah, I mean you.

1034

00:
53:08,552 -- 00:53:11,919

Maybe I'm just crazy, but to me,

you're a regular yum-yum type.

1035

00:
53:11,988 -- 00:53:13,979

- Yum-yum?

- Yeah, don't you know what that means?

1036

00:
53:14,057 -- 00:53:15,115

No, we never got to that.

1037

00:
53:15,192 -- 00:53:16,887

Well, we've got to it now,

and I'm glad it's out.

1038

00:
53:16,960 -- 00:53:18,689

I don't give a whoop

whether the others went for me.

1039

00:
53:18,762 -- 00:53:20,627

You're the one I'm wacky about,

just plain wacky.

1040

00:
53:20,697 -- 00:53:22,460

- Can you understand that?

- Please, Miss O'Shea.

1041

00:
53:22,532 -- 00:53:24,693

Oh, please, nothing.

Maybe you can generate or whatever it is

1042

00:
53:24,768 -- 00:53:27,032

for all that suppress business, but...

1043

00:
53:27,103 -- 00:53:29,401

I can't. No, you're too tall.

1044

00:
53:32,142 -- 00:53:33,404

- What are you doing?

- You'll find out.

1045

00:
53:33,476 -- 00:53:35,068

Those are Professor Gurkakoff's

reference books.

1046

00:
53:35,145 -- 00:53:37,204

- Now, isn't that just too bad!

- And they're very...

1047

00:
53:37,280 -- 00:53:38,872

- That's perfect.

- What are you going to do?

1048

00:
53:38,949 -- 00:53:41,713

Come here,

I'm going to show you what yum-yum is.

1049

00:
53:41,785 -- 00:53:43,150

Here's yum.

1050

00:
53:44,688 -- 00:53:46,519

Here's the other yum.

1051

00:
53:48,525 -- 00:53:50,288

And here's yum-yum.

1052

00:
53:54,164 -- 00:53:55,495

Excuse me.

1053

00:
53:56,233 -- 00:53:57,257

Hey, where are you going?

1054

00:
54:08,745 -- 00:54:11,805

Did you see?

He practically stepped on my hand.

1055

00:
54:11,881 -- 00:54:13,712

- Three steps at a time.

- Shot out of a gun.

1056

00:
54:13,783 -- 00:54:15,444

- But where is he going?

- Why?

1057

00:
54:15,518 -- 00:54:19,215

To get a razor strop, I hope,

and I hope he knows where to apply it.

1058

00:
54:24,160 -- 00:54:28,062

- Well, Professor Potts?

- Yes, Miss Bragg.

1059

00:
54:28,131 -- 00:54:31,430

Will one of you call a taxi

from the corner for Miss O'Shea?

1060

00:
54:32,102 -- 00:54:34,093

- Right away.

- Thank you.

1061

00:
54:40,010 -- 00:54:42,376

- Fine business.

- I beg your pardon?

1062

00:
54:42,445 -- 00:54:44,072

What's the idea of

running out on me like that?

1063

00:
54:44,147 -- 00:54:46,240

Nothing, nothing.

1064

00:
54:46,816 -- 00:54:49,876

The last few minutes

only confirmed my former decision.

1065

00:
54:49,953 -- 00:54:51,944

Your further presence here would be fatal.

1066

00:
54:52,022 -- 00:54:55,583

You must get me out of your mind

just as I must get you out of this house.

1067

00:
54:55,659 -- 00:54:59,026

- Your hair's wet.

- Well, never mind, please.

1068

00:
54:59,095 -- 00:55:01,586

- Well, it is wet.

- Well, what of it?

1069

00:
55:01,665 -- 00:55:02,893

Nothing, I just happened to mention it.

1070

00:
55:02,966 -- 00:55:05,560

- Well, forget it, please.

- Okay, okay.

1071

00:
55:06,269 -- 00:55:09,295

Now to get back to the subject
