if she doesn't want to.
Anthony.
What happened to the person
I fell in love with?
A person with dreams and spirit.
and root for.
Someone who could make a car
any color you want.
Oh, no.
I'm not getting married.
- Then I'm not, either!
- Sir!
I found them, sir.
200 invitations.
They were lost
under the clothes we collected
for the Chinese missions.
That's very funny.
No.
It really is.
You'll pardon me
for not laughing.
Angier!
Angier!
Angier!
John, maybe you'd better
follow him.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Biddle, what do you intend
to do about this?
Do about it?
Yes. You do intend to do
something, don't you?
Yes, Anthony.
What now?
Well, I don't know.
What do you suggest?
I suggest you talk some sense
into your daughter.
For once I agree
with Mrs. Duke completely.
Wait a minute.
What about trying to talk some
sense into your son, Mrs. Duke?
I'll take care of Angier.
Mrs. Duke, may I offer you
a lift to your hotel?
My electric is waiting outside.
Oh, how very kind of you.
It's comforting to know
that there are those
who can be relied upon
for support in times of stress.
They're trying to lay
this whole mess in my lap.
We'd better get back
to our guests.
Anyone can misplace a box
of invitations, can't they?
You know very well, Anthony,
the invitations have nothing
to do with it.
That was just fate lending you
a helping hand.
Blast.
I didn't do anything wrong.
Did I, George?
- Hey, here he is!
- Come on, Mr. Biddle.
- We want to drink a toast.
- To the father of the bride!
Now, just a second.
- Outside!
- A toast!
Three cheers!
? For he's a jolly good
fellow?
? For he's a jolly good
fellow?
Excuse me, gentlemen.
Stout!
Did you ever try
a good Irish stout?
Look, you stay away from me.
Just a friendly suggestion, sir.
You followed me here,
didn't you?
The devil, I did.
Do you think you're the only
person that comes into Clancy's
for a little rest
and relaxation?
All right, just leave me alone
and keep your suggestions
to yourself.
Stout.
I'm tired of people
running my life for me.
As well you should be, sir.
Leading me by the hand.
Telling me what to do.
It's a crime.
A man has to finally be a man.
- Right!
- Right!
? Well, well, well,
"Let's have a drink on it"?
? As me father used to say?
? "When the truth is
nobly spoken?
? It's respect
you've got to pay"?
? So fill your cup
and lift it up?
? And clink, here's how?
? No shilly-shallying,
no dillydallying?
? Let's have a drink
on it now?
? No shilly-shallying,
no dillydallying?
? Let's have a drink
on it now?
I don't mind telling you.
These last weeks
have really been rough.
That's a fact.
You try to please everybody.
And you end up pleasing
no one at all.
'Tis the sad, sad truth, sir.
I'll get away from it all.
Good idea.
I'll leave Philadelphia
and never come back.
- Never?
- Never.
Well, why shouldn't I?
There's nothing but trouble
for me here.
There's nothing but trouble
for me anywhere.
If I were to go to the ends
of the Earth...
That's it.
I could join the Foreign Legion.
The Foreign Legion, sir.
A fine group of men, sir.
I'd be on my own, then, right?
Right!
? Well, well, well,
let's have a drink on it?
? To the fightin'
Legionnaires?
? To their outposts
in the desert?
? And their gorgeous
Croix de Guerres?
? To sailing for Bengasi
on a rusty scow?
? No shilly-shallying,
no dillydallying?
? Let's have a drink
on it now?
? No shilly-shallying,
no dillydallying?
? Let's have a drink
on it now?
Thank you, John.
I'll always be grateful
for your help.
Where are you going?
To Bengasi.
Like we said.
I can't let him get away.
We'll never get things
patched up.
Sir!
A moment of your time, sir!
Just a moment!
? What do you do
when the water's gone?
? And there's no
turning back??
? You're four days
from the fort?
? The Arab renegades attack?
? And the blistering sun
keeps burning?
? Reinforcements
can't get through?
? What do you do about it??
? What do you do about it??
Do you blister easily?
Yes, as a matter of fact.
The Foreign Legion
is not for you.
Drink up.
You're right, John.
Running away isn't the answer.
You're right.
I'm right, all right.
I've got to face my problem
head on.
All right.
What's my problem?
My problem is my family.
It always has been.
I'll change my name.
Renounce my fortune.
That's good thinking.
I'll take an honest job.
In a factory.
Or on a farm.
Maybe someday I'll have
my own place.
- Beautiful!
- I'll be like everybody else.
Poor, right?
- Right!
- Right!
? Well, well, well,
let's have a drink on it?
? To the simple, average life?
? That you bring home
to the wife?
? To the sweat of honest labor
on your average brow?
? No shilly-shallying,
no dillydallying?
? Let's have a drink
on it now?
? No shilly-shallying,
no dillydallying?
? Let's have a drink
on it now?
Hey!
Set 'em up, Clancy!
Whoo!
Hey!
The drinks are on the Duke!
? No shilly-shallying,
no dillydallying?
? Let's have a drink
on it now?
Thank you all!
I can't tell you how much
this talk has meant to me.
Not at all at all.
- I'll write when I get settled.
- You'll write...
From where are you gonna write?
When a man has reached
why waste time?
? What do you do
when you lose your job??
? The rent is overdue??
in the street?
? The wife, the kiddies, too?
? And the sleet and snow
are falling?
? And you've got
no place to go?
Will you shut your face?
Can't you see I'm talking
to the gentleman?
? What do you do about it??
? What do you do about it??
The simple, average life, sir.
No.
Have a drink.
I'm used to having money.
I know.
I could make my own fortune.
- I could drill for oil in Texas.
- Think it over carefully.
- I could pan for gold in Alaska.
- Don't be too hasty.
Wait.
The mysterious East.
Who knows what adventures
I might live there?
- Right.
- Right!
- Wrong.
-? Well, well, well?
? Let's have a drink on it?
? Here's to China
across the bay?
? To them darling
little oysters?
? And the pearls
they give away?
? A man could make
his fortune there?
? I will somehow?
? No shilly-shallying,
no dillydallying?
? I'm off to China now?
? No shilly-shallying,
no dillydallying?
? He's off to China now?
? No shilly-shallying,
no dillydallying?
? Let's have
another one, sir!?
? No shilly-shallying,
no dillydallying?
Ha!
Ooh! Ooh!
? No shilly-shallying,
no dillydallying?
? I'm off to China now?
? Well, well, well,
one last drink on it?
? Then you're on
your merry way?
? What do you do when
? In China Bay??
? When the truth is
nobly spoken?
? It's respect
you've got to pay?
and take your pearls away?
