This is false.

Alone

have respect for the innocence.

You are charming

and probably a little drunk.

I'm pretty simple.

- So, you're crazy.

You want to marry a rich man

a bit wall. I am 41 years old.

You act like a kid.

- You'd be a mother to me.

No thank you.

- For Cynthia, then.

She would be delighted.

I'm 3 years older than her.

You could become

the stepmother of Don.

Do not joke about marriage.

And then you do not know me.

You are smart,

worker, young and gay,

adventurous and good stove.

You have a lovely face

and pretty legs.

Continue.

It's not enough for you?

Me, that's enough.

And love?

- We talk too much.

It's nice to hear.

- From the mouth of Don?

Who knows?

You are looking for a mature man

able to appreciate you.

I would also be happy.

- I can make people happy.

A flat shots blew?

This superb shot broke our union!

She married a wealthy Brazilian.

She is happy

and receives a pension.

Now we can go down.

Off,

but I am here.

Come on!

You will not be alone here?

No, not alone.

If you leave, I will call

a daughter and invite here.

Daughter not saying is vulgar.

This girl is vulgar,

is to say it is easy.

It is rather a girl a lady.

It is fun.

Then marry her.

It would respect me more

if I was as beast.

You think to my offer?

It still stands.

This is weird.

You are scary.

You are frivolous and cynical,

selfish and immoral.

You are worthless and yet

I like you a lot.

Enough to marry me?

Not enough to marry you,

but I could do worse,

much worse.

Are you rich?

Rich enough.

I would even say: rich.

I do not work

and I still have a large income

once my taxes paid,

why?

I wonder

what it's like to be rich.

So many girls marry

just to be a shelter. Tempting ...

Do you know

how much money I possess?

You must have 7.43 dollars

and nothing in your bank account.

I looked in your bag.

- It was not good.

I'm not a gentleman well.

Tuesday

I have a TV show.

I earn U.S. $ 62.50

and seven dollars ...

I already ...,

it will give me almost 70 dollars.

Once, I had more

200 dollars for a week.

You do not know what it is.

- What?

The joy of knowing

we have 200 dollars.

We want

taunt everyone.

I won $ 600 in the game

the other night.

You need to be very excited?

Do not be so blas!

I thought

I had 600 dollars in advance.

I wonder ahead of what?

I have on me.

6 tickets $ 100 brand new.

What folly to have

so much money on you!

I lost a bag with $ 20.

I've been sick.

Let me give you

these 600 dollars.

You are crazy.

- Do you agree?

No, of course not.

It is unconditional.

- Why give me $ 600?

Do me a favour by accepting.

I can not accept ...

- And unconditionally ...

600 divided by 40, that's how much?

- 15, why?

I spend $ 40 on average

week.

Thin! 15 weeks of insured!

- Hammer?

I have never accepted

money like that.

I have gained a frightful

capitalist exploiter. Awarded?

It is tempting. You would find me

silly to say no?

Yes. But the idiots who said no

raised the level of the world.

It would be foolish to refuse.

A fortune!

I wonder ...

If people knew ...

I will not tell. And you can

taunt full of people.

Good. I take.

- Well done!

This is the first post

$ 100 I see.

I came over to find my words.

- This is rare at home.

I talk a lot,

but this time ...

Only have to say thank you,

this is so funny.

The manner

you've said I like.

Just "thank you" is not enough.

15 weeks of insured for nothing!

I do not know what to say.

I am already largely paid.

- For what?

Your cheerful air.

From my side, there are conditions.

- What are the conditions?

Recognition. The affection.

An immense desire

you make it one day.

This is not a loan.

That's what I say.

A loan is erased by making.

A gift lets you

still a debt.

I never want to hear

about you. Is that clear?

This little which you kidding

worth fifty like you.

When I tell a Vicki

she will be able to faint.

It may be misled.

- $ 600? That's a lot!

And she knows that she and I,

we do not do.

That's why we're together.

- And his famous friend Cadillac?

It is a sad story. They will

cinema and hold hands.

His wife does not have enough voltage,

or too.

In short, she is sick.

- It does not seem robust either.

You! If people do ...

I find you obnoxious.

Voila!

I do not like your tone.

- Why?

It was protective and maternal.

You do not want

I kiss you?

I really wanted

but this "veiled".

You are tough!

You would not have liked

I say "veiled"?

You may be right.

Start again.

Is it better?

- No significant.

He was neither protector nor mother.

- No, rather filial.

You have given me

this money peer!

You are too logical

for your age.

You are very kind.

Eh! Well! That is the bouquet!

What you are wet!

You are left in the rain?

You're right. She is well

fifty like me.

Go to your room!

- And if you need a referee?

In your room!

- Okay.

If you like it, Dad.

She obeyed!

- I should have known!

Our eyes sometimes deceive us.

- I know see what is obvious.

Misleading evidence. Take Patty.

- You can keep it.

What a blessing!

- Do not be so old-fashioned

You saw me kiss him.

And after?

Lord! I swear not to

kissing a man.

It could help you.

- It always ruins everything.

And how!

Want to know

what happened?

What would change?

- A lot of things.

Mr. Slater asked

to marry.

To marry?

It does not gene you want me to say?

- It does not look!

I mind

full motion.

It was there already for a while.

He asked you knees?

- He offered me to kneel,

Is not it, Mr. Slater?

- Word Scout!

What was in this sauce?

Chilli?

I want you to be happy.

Oh, the poor thing!

What will he think?

God knows! These young people honest

believe the worst horrors.

It will take me for a runner.

- Do not worry.

He does not know why

I kissed you.

Advice, do not tell him!

Do you mind?

- Please.

I do not want to spend

for adventurer.

This is what he thinks?

- He is entitled to all suspicion.

Well, let them him.

- What?

His suspicions, my boy.

His secret doubts.

The is it, yes or no?

The she will, yes or no?

Doubt, the most powerful

aphrodisiac in the world!

Bless you.

Handkerchief?

Why be stayed and

in the rain?

What are you talking with Cynthia?

- Especially you.

Me?

I told everything to Cynthia,

that you had dinner

and how you seemed nice.

- She did not believe?

She said:
"It seems

One of these professional "virgins.

How horrible thing to say!

That's what I thought.

We argued.

After? Continue.

It was almost everything.

I did not think

see you up there.

Around his neck?

- I have not talked about that.

You looked very well with him.

It is a love. Damage

you have arrived at that time.

Al Smith would have

be confined to the policy.

Who?

Al Smith!

- Who is it?

The architect

the Empire State Building.

Oh! I understand ...

We could have

- Yes. Always.

To kiss you!
