UNTIL EVEN:

THE MONEYLENDERS

PULL DOWN THEIR BLINDS

WHEN THEY SEE US COMING.

IF WE CAN FIND A BUTCHER

WHO DOESN'T KNOW US,

WE CAN LAS 3 MONTHS LONGER.

AND IF THE CASE:

ISN'T SETTLED BY THEN,

I'M GOING TO GIVE THE ESTATE

AWAY TO SAVE MY SALVATION

AND SHOUT,

"HALLELUJAH!"

COME ON,

LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.

HALLELUJAH.

BUT, MISS FIONA...

HALLELUJAH.

MISS GAYLORD!

DON'T STOP.

HEY!

STOP THIS ELEVATOR.

SORRY, LADY, THIS IS

AN EXPRESS. NO STOPS.

NO STOPS?

NOW YOU'VE DONE IT!

IT'S JAMMED.

JAMMED?!

YOU'VE TRAPPED ME.

IF ANY TRAPPING WAS DONE,

IT WAS DONE BY YOU.

WHAT'S THE MATTER?

THE SAFETY'S JAMMED. I GO A NERVOUS DAME DOWN HERE.

I'M NOT NERVOUS. ALL RIGHT,

ALL RIGHT, YOU AIN'T NERVOUS.

YOUNG MAN, WHEN WAS

THIS LAST INSPECTED?

LADY-TRY CLIMBING DOWN ON THE CAGE

AND SEE WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH IT!

I NEVER HEARD:

OF SUCH A THING!

AS UNPLEASANT AS THIS IS

FOR BOTH OF US, MISS GAYLORD,

NOW THAT WE'RE

TRAPPED, AS YOU SAY,

SUPPOSE YOU LISTEN TO

A LITTLE COMMON SENSE.

I HATE COMMON SENSE.

IT'S SO COMMON.

- TRY HER NOW!

- STILL JAMMED!

THEY'RE

KILLING US!

THEY'RE STARTING OUR CASE ALL

OVER AGAIN WITH A NEW JUDGE.

YOU HEARD YOUR OWN ATTORNEY

SAY THAT IT MIGHT TAKE YEARS

TO SETTLE:

THE ESTATE.

NOW, I WANT TO BUY

THE GAYLORD HOME.

OVER MY DEAD BODY.

IF NECESSARY.

THE GAYLORDS:

NEVER SELL THE LAND.

AW, LADY,

SELL IT TO HIM!

MR. BARCLAY, WHY ARE YOU

SO SET ON BUYING OUR HOUSE?

OH, A WHIM, LADY BURTON. A WHIM OF IRON.

AND YOU'D BETTER

PERSUADE YOUR SISTER

TO MAKE A DEAL:

WITH ME.

NOW EASE HER:

DOWN A BIT!

THERE WILL BE VERY

LITTLE LEFT FOR ANY OF YOU

IF SHE KEEPS ON:

FIGHTING,

AND I CAN AFFORD TO KEEP

ON FIGHTING INDEFINITELY.

WELL, I CAN'T.

YOUNG MAN,

WILL YOU PLEASE:

LET ME OUT OF HERE?

WHO'S HOLDING YOU?

- OH, FIONA, WHY DON'T YOU

- SHUT UP!

TOM, SHIMMY IT DOWN A BIT! OK!

HOLD IT!

YOU'D BETTER

GET OVER:

YOUR STUBBORN,

STIFF-NECKED PRIDE.

LOOK OU SHE DON'T KICK BACK!

YOU MUST REMEMBER

THERE'S BARCLAY PRIDE, TOO, YOU KNOW.

THE GAYLORD GIRLS SEEM

TO BE FINDING THAT OUT.

TRY HER NOW!

OK! SHE'S ACTING

ALL RIGHT NOW!

OK, GO AHEAD-

I'M CLEAR!

WHERE'S YOUR CAR?

SUSANNA,

CALL A TAXI.

JUST A MOMENT!

FOR 6 MONTHS? YOU MIGHT HAVE TO WALK.

I'VE DONE IT BEFORE.

AND I THOUGHT WE HAD

RUINS IN ENGLAND.

I'M COMING,

I'M... COMING.

SASKIA!

WAIT A MINUTE!

NEVER GET ANY RES IN THIS...

SASKIA!

WHEN WE DROVE UP, AUSTIN

WAS IN THE FRONT YARD.

I TOLD YOU TO KEEP

THAT KID INSIDE.

YOU FRIGHTEN HIM,

FIONA.

NO, I DON'T.

HE LIKES IT.

WHERE DID THE LITTLE

NIPPER COME FROM?

SASKIA BROUGHT HIM FROM THE

COUNTRY. HE'S NO TROUBLE.

IS TEA READY?

I DIDN'T HAVE TIME.

I'LL GIVE YOU 10 MINUTES

TO BRING TEA HERE.

YOU HAVE NO HEART. NO, I KNOW

- ONLY A STOMACH.

WELL, EVELYN, HOW DOES IT FEEL

TO BE BACK IN YOUR OLD HOME?

LOOKS, UH...

WELL, AT LEAS IT SMELLS THE SAME.

LIKE THE GAYLORD CASE.

I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU TWO HAVE STOOD IT.

BELIEVE ME,

YOU GET USED TO IT.

I'M BEGINNING

TO WONDER IF THEY EVER

SETTLE CASES:

IN THIS COUNTRY.

GIG!

OH, GIG! I SLIPPED AWAY

AS SOON AS I COULD.

HOW LONG DO WE:

HAVE TO KEEP ON:

MEETING IN THE PARK

LIKE THIS?

WELL, UNTIL I TELL FIONA

THAT I KNOW YOU.

SAY, ARE YOU

AFRAID OF HER?

A LITTLE.

WHAT MAKES HER:

SO FEROCIOUS?

SHE'S HAD PLENTY TO SPOIL

HER DISPOSITION-

ALL THESE YEARS FIGHTING TO GE ENOUGH MONEY FOR US TO LIVE ON.

HOW'D YOUR WORK GO

TODAY, GIG?

I COULDN'T PAINT A LICK,

AND NO WONDER-

TRYING TO TURN OUT THE POPULAR

CLAPTRAP THE ART DEALERS WANT.

I KEPT PAINTING AND PAINTING

UNTIL I WAS READY TO DROP.

THEN I HATED MYSELF

AND ALL ART FOR TRYING

TO HIT SOMETHING

NO HEEL LIKE ME CAN HIT.

SUSANNA, IF I SHOULD ASK

YOU TO MARRY ME, DON'T.

NONSENSE! I LOVE YOU.

I'D SNAP AT THE CHANCE.

ASK ME.

OH, I'M CHARMING AND BOLD

- GOOD COMPANY NOW.

I SAY THINGS YOUR OTHER

FRIENDS DON'T TALK ABOUT.

YOU FEEL THAT I'M A

GREAT MAN WHO'S GIFTED-

OH, AND MODESTY IS YOUR

GUIDING PRINCIPLE, I SEE.

ONLY FOOLS ARE MODEST.

LOOK, SUSANNA...

I COULDN'T FIT INTO YOUR

SCHEME OF CIVILIZATION,

AND I WARN YOU, EVERYTHING YOU

SEE IN ME NOW WILL BE CHANGED

IF I MARRY YOU AND TAKE YOU TO LIVE

IN MY LITTLE CORNER OF THE WORLD.

A FOUL TEMPER... I'M NOT EVEN

CIVILIZED, AND I DON'T WANT TO BE.

I'VE ALMOST KILLED A COUPLE

OF GUYS IN FITS OF RAGE.

NO, SUSANNA, DON'T ACCEP ME IF I ASK YOU TO MARRY ME.

I SHALL! I SUPPOSE

YOU HAVE AN ATTIC

AND A FEW CRUSTS OF BREAD

WE COULD LIVE ON.

NO, I HAVE A HUGE OLD

HOUSE ON THE NORTH SHORE,

AND I COULD MAKE A GREAT DEAL

OF MONEY... BUT DON'T MARRY ME.

WILL YOU?

IS THIS AN OFFER

OF MARRIAGE?

YES, CONFOUND YOU!

DARLING!

YOU LITTLE FOOL!

I'VE ALWAYS WANTED

TO BE KISSED IN THE PARK.

I'LL TELL FIONA TONIGHT.

DO IT AGAIN.

WHY DON'T YOU FIGH BACK? PUNCH HIM IN THE NOSE!

I- I CAN'T REACH!

THEN KICK HIM:

IN THE SHIN!

OOH!

WOW!

COME ON,

GET UP AND FIGHT!

YEAH,

YOU OLD COWARD!

YOU OLD COWARD!

WHEN I FIRST SAW YOU, I THOUGH YOU WAS COMING TO HELP ME.

I DID HELP YOU. I TAUGH YOU HOW TO FIGHT BACK.

COME ON IN NOW:

AND WASH YOUR FACE.

IF HE EVER COMES HERE

AGAIN, I'LL KNOCK HIS BLOCK OFF!

WHAT HAPPENED? AUSTIN,

WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO YOU?!

NOW, NOW, DON' CLUCK OVER HIM.

BUT HE'S HURT!

HE'S BLEEDING!

I CAN'T LEAVE HIM ALONE

FOR ONE MINUTE...

HA! YOU SHOULD SEE THE

OTHER GUY. THIS IS THE HERO.

HE IS WOUNDED,

BUT NOT SLAIN.

HE WILL LAY HIM DOWN

AND BLEED AWHILE,

THEN RISE:

AND FIGHT AGAIN.

HUH, AUSTIN?

YES, MA'AM.

HOW DO YOU LIKE:

LIVING IN THE CITY?

I LIKE THE COUNTRY

BETTER.

SO DID I.

IT'S A TOUGH WORLD.

YOU GET TOUGH, LIVING IN THE COUNTRY.

THE COWS LOOK:

TOO KIND.

WALKING UP:

FIFTH AVENUE:

IS LIKE WALKING:

THROUGH A JUNGLE.

YOU MEAN, LIONS AND

TIGERS AND WOLVES?

MMM,

WITH CLOTHES ON.

THERE YOU ARE-

YOU'RE A NEW MAN.

YOU MEAN, I CAN GO

OUT AND FIGHT AGAIN?

NOT RIGHT AWAY. I'D

TAKE IT EASY FOR A WHILE.

WHEW! WHAT FOUL CONCOCTION

ARE YOU BREWING THERE, SASKIA?

VEGETABLE SOUP.

OOH! I NEVER WOULD

HAVE GUESSED IT.

IT HAS SPECIAL:

VITAMINS.

NEVER MIND. I'LL GO.

GEE, SHE'S SWELL.

SHE'S GOT NO HEART,

ONLY A STOMACH.

SO I CAME DIREC FROM COURT.

UH, THESE PAPERS OUGH TO BE SIGNED TONIGHT.

THEY'RE JUST ROUTINE BUT, OF

COURSE, IF YOU WANT ME TO EXPLAIN-

NEVER MIND THE PAPERS. IF YOU'RE

IN THE MOOD FOR EXPLAINING THINGS,

YOU MIGHT EXPLAIN WHAT YOU MEAN BY HUMILIATING ME IN COURT TODAY.

NOW, THEN, MISS FIONA, YOU SPEND

A GREAT DEAL OF TIME IN COURT,

AND YOU KNOW AS WELL AS I THA A MEMBER OF THE BAR MUST GOVERN

HIS CONDUCT ACCORDING TO THE

RULES AND THE ETHICS OF HIS PROF-

RULES, ETHICS, TRIPE!

SEE HERE, GIBBON,

I DON'T KNOW WHAT WAS IN

THAT SCHEMING MIND OF YOURS

WHEN YOU MADE THA SLOBBERING SPEECH

ABOUT CHARLES BARCLAY,

BUT IT WASN'T ETHICS!

PLEASE, PLEASE, MISS FIONA.

I HAD TO APOLOGIZE FOR YOU.

THAT'S ALL THAT SAVED YOU FROM

BEING CITED FOR CONTEMPT OF COURT.

OH, NO, NO, GIBBON.

YOU HAD SOME OTHER REASON

FOR THAT COURTROOM MORATORY
