A stranger.

I know a little pressure

as much as you.

He made you love?

- It was rampant. Do you doubt it?

I wore your gown,

and digesting your dinner!

Be reasonable. Want

what happened?

No. But it's a shame.

I thought you were a good girl.

This is the truth.

And now?

- And now.

Mr. Slater still believes.

That is why he wanted to marry me.

You do not believe me?

I do not think

that you have requested.

And I've never believed.

- And why?

I know Slater.

It is not kind.

You would say it to you

a bond, I believe you.

I find you repulsive.

- Do not cry.

Cynthia warned me

against professional virgins.

I'm leaving!

Very good.

At Slater?

- Absolutely.

The deal?

Donald Gresham is you?

- This is me.

Or do you?

Or will you?

Who are you?

What right do you

and broke into my house?

Do not enter!

Good evening. Mr. Gresham is it?

- No, it is absent.

It is in apples.

She killed him,

with my electric iron!

Dad! What did you do?

Oh! It is you!

For what reason?

I did my duty to father.

- Is he dead?

23 years police

I learned a dosing my shots.

Leave him! You al right?

- Of course yes.

Dad, it's not what you think.

Who told you I was here?

You sent for?

- Me? Not on your life.

So how?

- I phoned home.

Vicki told me or you were.

- She can not hold her tongue.

Go to a single!

You do not understand.

He did not seek a ...

It is not obvious, but ...

Don would never do a thing

none. He is an architect!

I will get back to you.

Let us go.

I told you that the price of sin ...

- I pray thee, not here!

Can I ask you a question?

Do you would not have done so if

you found your daughter here?

This is a very insightful question,

Mr. O'Neill.

Thank you, sir.

Property. Let's go.

You can not leave that way.

He did nothing.

Shut up.

Mr. take care of him.

Do something ...

Do not be afraid. The outraged father

left with her daughter.

Your oil is awful.

There is nothing I ever

got worse.

Does not seek to pity me.

You deserve.

What?

- I am sorry that you are suffering

but you did not steal it.

O'Neill was perfectly right.

Heal your eye. It is awful.

I will hunt the police,

this dirty cop.

It's a dirty cop

but it is a father.

He was right to kill you.

And I also

regarding Cynthia.

Customary law protects fathers

against deceivers.

Customary law?

It would be better

we make laws, but ...

... A father has the right

protect her daughter.

He has the duty.

Yes, this brave man

gave me a moral lesson.

Enough. Begone!

My poor little Cynthia.

As you make the pain.

You break my yard. Begone!

II there is more joy in heaven

for a repentant sinner ...

Will repent home.

You drink

Hello! Who is?

Yes, Cynthia, my eye is messed up.

But not called.

I put compresses,

hot, cold and tepid.

Yes, I am alone.

I try to watch TV.

I see very well

with my good eye. Good night.

Hour Chloro-Foam

and Symphony Orchestra

What do you want?

- What I want? Talk to you!

How about?

I can not say

two seconds on the landing.

Why not?

I want to know what Cynthia

term "professional virgin".

This is not an hour ...

I struggled

rid me of my father.

We argued.

If you saw!

I saw him.

I even saw press.

Your oil is awful!

Dad told me to tell you ...

Not talk to me about him.

We read that the police are brutal,

but it did not hit me.

Wait. Let me fix it.

- It is very much like that.

It was necessary to

a cutlet above.

If you had not invited Slater,

it would still meat.

I wish you dad struck,

but it is old game

He did his duty.

Your oil is scary.

This is just one oil

blackened old game

I will treasure

few days.

It is very late.

What do you want?

You seem so angry

I can not say anything.

I do not mean anything.

I want to forget this nightmare.

Forget everything?

- All from the beginning.

Who is this?

Honey, have you tried

treat your oil with ...

Look, Cynthia,

will you stop calling me?

Hang!

- But Dad ...

If you refuse to obey me ...

What did she want?

- She worried for my oil.

At this hour?

You are right here, you

in this same time.

You are tired?

- The day was hard.

If Cynthia had pity

your oil, you might ...

No longer talking about Cynthia.

She treated me

"professional virgin"!

I mean it only.

It was an unfortunate sentence.

- That she blames the virgins?

You can not take offence

to be called "virgin".

This is the "professional" that irritates me.

I want an explanation.

This means that it is unnecessary

to advertise.

What was he wrong?

It is advertising

what we want to sell.

I understand you.

I may be speaking too.

So no more about it.

- That's what I'll do.

Do you believe in destiny?

I wonder what would have happened

if it had not rained

and if we ate out.

- The evening was more mundane.

We started on the wrong foot.

- But anyway ...

Oh, my God!

This is not your father?

- I do not know.

This way.

Keep the noise and not.

You again!

You know what time it is?

I know.

You have enough chatted,

Cynthia and you on the phone.

I came to tell you.

Tell it to him. She is calling me.

- I do not stop to repeat it.

It's no good.

It mocks me.

I do not know what to say

and I lack of ammunition.

You play a little later

fathers family.

Cynthia told me

exactly the same thing.

I want to sleep.

Go away.

I thought about it.

I'm going ... very far.

I'll take Cynthia Brazil,

with his mother.

Good idea!

Great idea.

She will learn Portuguese.

More idiocy! I should have

do there has years.

I will book the tickets.

Or is the phone?

You have a telephone at home.

I had one. But when Cynthia

you called, I ripped the son.

Must isolate this small.

If more than fathers did, more

Girls have less trouble.

It is a local call.

- Come on, hurry up.

You have the number

the Pan-American?

I ask the information.

You share your line?

Sort of dirty hypocrite!

This girl is still.

I recognize his voice.

A moment. I phone.

Needless to giggle.

I told him to hide it.

I do not know who came and

I do not want her to be embarrassed.

Pillar of virtue!

I confess that thou hast well

mocked me. I'm getting old.

His murderer father

did not calm your passions?

He would have kicked me the jitters.

You're wrong.

Patty is only passed to ...

Let us stop acting.

I do not judge you,

neither one nor the other.

But I can not help but

to be a little disappointed.

Shame!

She seemed to be a good girl.

Tell him that it could have

wait 15 weeks.

How so?

- She'll understand.

Yes, she understood.

Dare say that!

You are worse than Don!

What became of your respect

innocence?

I feel it coming back.

- Slater, thus leading home!

I mean it

what I think of him.

Do not say or do anything

you can regret.

I begin to believe
