00:
35:41,339 -- 00:35:43,239

What time do you want us to pick you up?

552

00:
35:43,341 -- 00:35:46,367

If he doesn't show up pretty soon,

there may not be any concert.

553

00:
35:48,513 -- 00:35:50,413

Wait a minute.

554

00:
35:50,515 -- 00:35:54,315

The great man is just coming in now.

555

00:
35:54,418 -- 00:35:56,978

Make it about 7:
30, will you, darling?

556

00:
35:57,088 -- 00:36:00,080

That is, unless we want to get some

hamburgers or something on the way.

557

00:
36:00,191 -- 00:36:02,682

Okay. You do whatever you like.

558

00:
36:02,793 -- 00:36:05,887

Oh, and what fur are you going to wear?

So that I won't wear the same.

559

00:
36:05,997 -- 00:36:07,897

Right. Okay, baby. Bye.

560

00:
36:07,999 -- 00:36:11,162

Darling, what happened to you?

Tony and I have been awfully worried.

561

00:
36:11,269 -- 00:36:13,396

I finally had to send him

to get dressed anyway.

562

00:
36:13,504 -- 00:36:15,938

- Really?

- [ Sighs ]

563

00:
36:16,040 -- 00:36:18,668

I've had your nice sandwich all ready, and -

564

00:
36:18,776 -- 00:36:20,903

and the ice all ready for your drink...

565

00:
36:21,012 -- 00:36:23,207

and the bed all ready for your nap.

566

00:
36:23,314 -- 00:36:27,045

Where have you been?

I - I bet you've been out with some girls.

567

00:
36:27,151 -- 00:36:29,779

Girls, hah!

568

00:
36:29,887 -- 00:36:33,152

Well, then where have you been, darling?

Honestly, I've been awfully worried.

569

00:
36:33,257 -- 00:36:35,691

- I've been to the movies.

- The movies?

570

00:
36:35,793 -- 00:36:38,284

I saw a very long picture about a dog...

571

00:
36:38,396 -- 00:36:40,591

the moral of which was that

a dog is a man's best friend.

572

00:
36:40,698 -- 00:36:44,031

And a companion feature which questioned

the necessity of marriage for eight reels...

573

00:
36:44,135 -- 00:36:46,695

- and then concluded it was essential in the ninth.

- Alfred.

574

00:
36:46,804 -- 00:36:50,501

Also something about " time marching on''

and a newsreel of the royal family...

575

00:
36:50,608 -- 00:36:52,508

christening something

extremely out of focus -

576

00:
36:52,610 -- 00:36:54,805

a lot of people being saved

from a sinking freighter...

577

00:
36:54,912 -- 00:36:56,846

and a cat which had its kittens

in a harmonium...

578

00:
36:56,948 -- 00:37:00,941

which made ghostly music and frightened

a Harlem congregation nearly out of its wits.

579

00:
37:02,019 -- 00:37:05,819

- You feel quite hot.

- I feel anything but quite hot!

580

00:
37:05,923 -- 00:37:09,381

Well, why didn't you take me to the movies?

I love the movies.

581

00:
37:09,493 -- 00:37:11,791

Because there are times

when a man wishes to be alone.

582

00:
37:11,896 -- 00:37:14,865

This was one of those times.

Any further questions?

583

00:
37:14,966 -- 00:37:16,991

Well, no, of course not, darling.

584

00:
37:17,101 -- 00:37:20,127

- I hate dry white bread.

- I'm sorry.

585

00:
37:20,238 -- 00:37:23,105

Oh, would you like me to run

a nice hot bath for you?

586

00:
37:23,207 -- 00:37:25,141

Do I appear to need one?

587

00:
37:25,243 -- 00:37:27,143

Well, no, of course you don't, darling. I -

588

00:
37:27,245 -- 00:37:30,237

If I decide that I need a nice hot bath,

I will draw one.

589

00:
37:30,348 -- 00:37:32,612

If I don't, I won't.

590

00:
37:32,717 -- 00:37:34,844

Alfred, you're going to make me cry.

591

00:
37:34,952 -- 00:37:37,853

Oh, darling, please, eat some

of your sandwich anyway, won't you?

592

00:
37:37,955 -- 00:37:40,389

You can't go all day and all night

without eating.

593

00:
37:40,491 -- 00:37:42,618

Thank you for your solicitude.

594

00:
37:43,861 -- 00:37:46,557

I hate breast of turkey.

595

00:
37:46,664 -- 00:37:48,825

Oh. Oh.

Good evening, Sir Alfred.

[ Man ]

Come in.

600

00:
38:56,634 -- 00:38:58,534

Sir Alfred.

601

00:
39:14,118 -- 00:39:16,018

Was there something, Sir Alfred?

602

00:
39:42,947 -- 00:39:45,279

[ Sighs ]

I don't know what's the matter with you.

606

00:
40:34,098 -- 00:40:36,362

And I don't know what's the matter

with my zipper either.

607

00:
40:36,467 -- 00:40:38,560

Will you see if you can close it for me?

608

00:
40:38,669 -- 00:40:40,569

Turn around.

609

What's the matter with you?

That's a fine thing.

613

00:
41:02,726 -- 00:41:05,286

- I'll have to change into something else.

- Change into something else!

614

00:
41:05,396 -- 00:41:09,196

You aren't suffering from any shortage. The

women of England would be lucky to have one dress.

615

00:
41:09,300 -- 00:41:11,996

- What's that to do with me?

- You are married to an Englishman.

616

00:
41:12,102 -- 00:41:15,435

I didn't ask you to buy me all these dresses.

I can't stop you from buying me dresses.

617

00:
41:15,539 -- 00:41:18,736

You're always saying meet me at so-and-so's

and I'll buy you a dress. You know you do.

618

00:
41:18,843 -- 00:41:20,743

If you're so worried about

how Englishwomen are dressed...

619

00:
41:20,845 -- 00:41:23,109

there's nothing to stop you

from sending them all to them instead.

620

00:
41:23,214 -- 00:41:25,546

It wouldn't make any difference to me.

I don't like clothes!

621

00:
41:25,649 -- 00:41:28,140

- I've sent the women of England plenty!

- Then shut up about it.

622

00:
41:28,252 -- 00:41:31,813

- I forbid you to speak to your husband in that tone!

- That's right. Strike me, you brute.

623

00:
41:31,922 -- 00:41:34,584

- So, you don't dare.

- Go and get dressed for the concert.

624

00:
41:34,692 -- 00:41:37,320

This is certainly going to be

the most magnificent concert!

625

00:
41:37,428 -- 00:41:41,159

- Maybe I'll go to the movies instead.

- Culturally that might suit you better.

626

00:
41:41,265 -- 00:41:43,597

And I thought my sister had married the jerk!

627

00:
41:43,701 -- 00:41:46,261

Oh - Oh, give me that zipper!

628

00:
41:46,370 -- 00:41:48,964

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…
