00:
22:15,567 -- 00:22:18,229

Thank you very much,Jules.

310

00:
22:18,337 -- 00:22:20,328

Now what do you want?

I'm sorry to sound sharp...

311

00:
22:20,439 -- 00:22:23,272

but I feel extremely unsympathetic

towards all detectives this morning.

312

00:
22:23,375 -- 00:22:25,275

All in the line of duty for me, boss.

313

00:
22:25,377 -- 00:22:28,813

Just shows you the kind of service

we're giving you at the Towers, that's all.

314

00:
22:28,914 -- 00:22:32,577

We don't know just how it got in the hall.

We're investigating that.

315

00:
22:32,684 -- 00:22:34,743

But we found it and saved it for you.

316

00:
22:34,853 -- 00:22:37,083

It's a detective's operator's report.

317

00:
22:37,189 -- 00:22:40,124

- I glued it together myself.

- I see.

318

00:
22:41,159 -- 00:22:44,253

- You, uh, read it, I presume?

-Just enough to glue it together.

319

00:
22:44,363 -- 00:22:47,423

I see. You concluded

that when I tear papers up into small bits...

320

00:
22:47,532 -- 00:22:50,695

and throw the bits into a wastebasket

and kick the wastebasket out of the door...

321

00:
22:50,802 -- 00:22:53,669

it's because I wish to keep the papers

that go to make up the document, correct?

322

00:
22:53,772 -- 00:22:57,674

Well, we didn't know, Sir Alfred.

The head maid seen this basket come flying out...

323

00:
22:57,776 -- 00:23:00,267

and she called me,

and I just used my own judgment, that's all.

324

00:
23:00,379 -- 00:23:04,509

Very astute. Do you customarily shove your nose

this deep into other people's business?

325

00:
23:04,616 -- 00:23:07,414

- Look, boss, as far as I'm concerned -

- Have you a match, at least?

326

00:
23:07,519 -- 00:23:09,714

- Huh?

- A match. One of those little wooden things...

327

00:
23:09,821 -- 00:23:11,721

that you strike on the side of a box.

328

00:
23:11,823 -- 00:23:13,723

- Yes, sir.

- Light it, please.

329

00:
23:13,825 -- 00:23:15,793

Yes, sir.

330

00:
23:15,894 -- 00:23:18,692

Now get it going well.

That's fine.

331

00:
23:18,797 -- 00:23:20,697

Now hold it steady.

332

00:
23:21,833 -- 00:23:24,802

- Nix, boss.

- You see? It was very important to me.

333

00:
23:24,903 -- 00:23:26,734

Cut it out, boss.

Take it easy, will you?

334

00:
23:26,838 -- 00:23:29,898

- I hope you don't know any way

of bringing it back to life this time.

- No, sir.

335

00:
23:30,008 -- 00:23:31,908

Now watch closely.

336

00:
23:32,010 -- 00:23:35,070

You see? Now why don't you

go back to your work at the hotel.

337

00:
23:35,180 -- 00:23:37,171

There may be

some important things for you to do...

338

00:
23:37,282 -- 00:23:39,807

like spying on decent people

through looking through keyholes...

339

00:
23:39,918 -- 00:23:42,148

and standing on ladders

and picking through the garbage.

340

00:
23:42,254 -- 00:23:44,848

Look, boss, I'm sorry.

I only meant to -

341

00:
23:44,956 -- 00:23:46,981

- Look out!

- [ Fire Roaring ]

342

00:
23:48,026 -- 00:23:51,553

[ Groaning ]

Ow! Ow! I'll get something.

343

00:
23:51,663 -- 00:23:55,895

- You'd better come out,Jules.

There's been a bit of trouble here.

- I'll get the extinguisher, sir.

344

00:
24:02,040 -- 00:24:03,940

[ Chattering ]

345

00:
24:05,977 -- 00:24:08,309

[ Alarm Blaring ]

346

00:
24:11,850 -- 00:24:13,750

[ Yelling ]

347

00:
24:15,487 -- 00:24:17,421

Turn on the water!

348

00:
24:17,522 -- 00:24:19,615

I am turning it on.

349

00:
24:19,724 -- 00:24:21,624

[ No Audible Dialogue ]

350

00:
24:38,076 -- 00:24:40,977

Watch what you're doing!

351

00:
24:41,079 -- 00:24:43,570

- [ Siren Blaring ]

- I'll be careful.

352

00:
24:44,816 -- 00:24:46,875

Bring it over here.

353

00:
24:46,985 -- 00:24:49,078

Not over there!

Over here!

354

00:
24:52,357 -- 00:24:54,655

- I've got it!

- [ Yelling ]

355

00:
24:57,963 -- 00:25:01,865

Wonderful. Beautiful.

356

00:
25:02,901 -- 00:25:05,028

Would you take the telephone, please?

It's Sir Alfred.

357

00:
25:05,136 -- 00:25:07,604

- Oh, thank you.

- What a lollipop.

358

00:
25:07,706 -- 00:25:11,142

Hello. Hello, sweetie love.

Where are you? You're late.

359

00:
25:11,243 -- 00:25:13,507

I'm dreadfully sorry.

There's been a little excitement down here.

360

00:
25:13,612 -- 00:25:15,739

I'll join you as soon

as I get into some dry trousers.

361

00:
25:15,847 -- 00:25:19,283

Darling, I can't hear a thing you're saying

with all those bells going off.

362

00:
25:19,384 -- 00:25:21,318

Some silly ass set fire to my dressing room.

363

00:
25:21,419 -- 00:25:24,616

Uh, who'd you say set fire to it?

364

00:
25:24,723 -- 00:25:26,782

No. He set fire to it himself.

365

00:
25:26,892 -- 00:25:28,792

- Insurance.

- Oh, shh.

366

00:
25:28,894 -- 00:25:31,089

I said if you see anything pretty,

be sure to buy it.

367

00:
25:31,196 -- 00:25:33,494

- But I don't want to buy anything.

- Well, buy several.

368

00:
25:33,598 -- 00:25:37,159

It's always nice to have a change.

And I've told Tony to pick you up for lunch.

369

00:
25:37,269 -- 00:25:39,829

Are you the party that started this " confloration''?

370

00:
25:39,938 -- 00:25:43,032

Yes.Just one minute, Colonel.

I've just got to answer some questions, darling.

371

00:
25:43,141 -- 00:25:45,837

There's a nobleman in a white hat

waiting outside the booth for me.

372

00:
25:45,944 -- 00:25:48,435

You didn't get in any trouble, did you?

I'll come right over.

373

00:
25:48,547 -- 00:25:50,538

- You didn't get burned?

- What are you talking -

374

00:
25:50,649 -- 00:25:53,982

On the contrary, I'm sloshing wet,

and I don't think I'm in the slightest trouble.

375

00:
25:54,085 -- 00:25:56,747

Uh, I'll be with you

in one second, General.

376

00:
25:56,855 -- 00:25:59,790

Good-bye, my darling.

I'll join you at the earliest possible moment.

377

00:
26:03,628 -- 00:26:06,529

j&j& [ Classical ]

378

00:
26:09,067 -- 00:26:11,558

- Hello, Annie.

- Hello, Sir Alfred.

379

00:
26:11,670 -- 00:26:13,763

Thank you.

381

- Hello, Louie. Is my bride here?

- Certainly, Sir Alfred. She's in 44.

- Hi, darling.

383

- I think I'll have a quick brandy.

- Certainly, Sir Alfred.

384

00:
26:28,954 -- 00:26:31,616

- I was in a slight fire.

- Sir?

385

00:
26:31,723 -- 00:26:33,623

- Put that on my check, will you?

- Yes, sir.

-[ Man ] Sir Alfred.

- Hello,Josef.

388

00:

What are you two doing here?

Why aren't you all lunching together?

389

00:
26:44,903 -- 00:26:48,737

- We didn't wish to intrude.

- They look so cute together.

390

00:
26:48,840 -- 00:26:51,206

Well, why shouldn't they look cute together?

391

00:

See you later, pretty one.

Preston Sturges

Preston Sturges (; born Edmund Preston Biden; August 29, 1898 – August 6, 1959) was an American playwright, screenwriter, and film director. In 1941, he won the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay for the film The Great McGinty, his first of three nominations in the category. Sturges took the screwball comedy format of the 1930s to another level, writing dialogue that, heard today, is often surprisingly naturalistic, mature, and ahead of its time, despite the farcical situations. It is not uncommon for a Sturges character to deliver an exquisitely turned phrase and take an elaborate pratfall within the same scene. A tender love scene between Henry Fonda and Barbara Stanwyck in The Lady Eve was enlivened by a horse, which repeatedly poked its nose into Fonda's head. Prior to Sturges, other figures in Hollywood (such as Charlie Chaplin, D.W. Griffith, and Frank Capra) had directed films from their own scripts, however Sturges is often regarded as the first Hollywood figure to establish success as a screenwriter and then move into directing his own scripts, at a time when those roles were separate. Sturges famously sold the story for The Great McGinty to Paramount Pictures for $1, in return for being allowed to direct the film; the sum was quietly raised to $10 by the studio for legal reasons. more…
