[666][675]Copy boy! [696][725]- Make it snappy.|- Where's the rest of this story? [727][739]Morning Post. [741][768]City desk? Just a moment|and I'll connect you. [771][798]If anybody asks for me,|I'm down at the courthouse. [802][821]- Elevator!|- Going down. [871][895]- Hello, Hildy.|- Hi, Skinny. [897][916]Hello, Ruth, Maisie. [924][958]- Is the lord of the universe in?|- Yes, in a bad humor. [961][976]Somebody must've stolen|the crown jewel. [978][1003]- Shall we announce you?|- I'll blow my own horn. [1011][1036]Bruce, wait here.|I'll be back in ten minutes. [1038][1072]Even ten minutes is a long time|to be away from you. [1080][1094]What did you say? [1120][1132]Go on. [1144][1153]Well, go ahead. [1155][1190]I just said, "Even ten minutes is|a long time to be away from you." [1192][1231]I heard you. I like it.|That's why I asked you to say it again. [1233][1245]I like being spoiled. [1247][1272]The man I'm going in to see|did little spoiling. [1274][1299]I'd like to spoil him.|Want me to go with you? [1301][1325]- I can handle it.|- Lf it gets rough, I'm here. [1327][1347]I'll come running, partner. [1358][1372]- Hello, Jim.|- Hello, Hildy! [1375][1396]- How are you?|- Welcome back. [1398][1420]Hello, Hildy, how have you been? [1438][1460]Beatrice, how's|"Advice to the Lovelorn"? [1462][1490]- Fine. My cat had kittens again.|- Your own fault. [1497][1516]Glad to see you. Hi, Jim. [1518][1536]Mildred, you still around? [1561][1580]A little more around the chin, boss. [1587][1596]What do you want? [1598][1618]Your ex-wife is here. [1641][1656]Hello, Hildy. [1658][1673]Hello, Walter. [1682][1706]Hello, Louie.|How's the big slot machine king? [1708][1742]I ain't doing that no more.|I'm retired. You know what I mean? [1744][1761]- Walter.|- I'm busy! [1773][1798]The governor didn't sign|that reprieve. [1800][1831]Tomorrow, Earl Williams dies|and makes a sucker out of us. [1844][1859]What are you going to do? [1862][1873]- Phone the governor.|- I can't. [1875][1895]- Why not?|- He's out fishing. [1898][1932]- How many places are there?|- At least two, Atlantic and Pacific. [1934][1950]That simplifies it, doesn't it? [1952][1967]- Get him on the phone.|- And say what? [1969][1990]Quiet, Duffy. He's thinking. [2000][2032]Tell him if he reprieves Earl Williams,|we'll support him for senator. [2034][2055]Tell him the Morning Post|will be behind him. [2057][2068]- You can't do that.|- Why not? [2070][2094]We've been a Democratic paper|for over 20 years. [2096][2126]After we get the reprieve,|we'll be Democratic again. [2130][2141]Go on, Duffy, get going. [2143][2173]The Morning Post expects|every editor to do his duty. [2175][2200]You too, Louie.|Get out of here. [2248][2273]Well, Walter,|I see you're still at it. [2275][2306]First time I double-crossed a governor.|What can I do for you? [2308][2325]Would you mind if I sat down? [2327][2356]There's a lamp burning in the|window for you. Here. [2358][2388]I jumped out of that window|a long time ago, Walter. [2422][2440]May I have one of those? [2452][2463]Thank you. [2489][2507]And a match? [2513][2529]Thank you. [2580][2599]- How long is it?|- How long is what? [2602][2613]You know what. [2615][2638]How long is it since|we've seen each other? [2648][2668]Well, let's see. [2670][2711]I spent six weeks in Reno,|then Bermuda. About four months. [2713][2727]Seems like yesterday to me. [2735][2775]Maybe it was yesterday, Hildy.|Been seeing me in your dreams? [2777][2808]Mama doesn't dream about you.|You wouldn't know her now. [2810][2831]Yes, I would.|I'd know you anytime. [2833][2854]Any place, anywhere. [2857][2886]You're repeating yourself.|You said that the night you proposed. [2888][2901]You still remember it. [2903][2932]If I didn't remember it,|I wouldn't have divorced you. [2934][2947]I sort of wish you hadn't. [2949][2969]- What?|- Divorced me. [2971][3000]It makes a fellow lose faith|in himself. It gives him... [3002][3017]...a feeling he wasn't wanted. [3019][3041]Junior, that's what divorces are for. [3043][3076]Nonsense, you've got an old-fashioned|idea divorces last forever. [3078][3113]"Till death do us part."|Divorce doesn't mean anything nowadays. [3115][3140]Just a few words mumbled|over you by a judge. [3142][3169]We've got something between us|nothing can change. [3181][3208]- I suppose you're right in a way.|- Sure, I'm right. [3211][3239]- I am fond of you, you know.|- Thattagirl! [3241][3266]I often wish you weren't|such a stinker. [3279][3305]You must meet my mother.|She'd like that phrase. [3307][3354]Then why'd you promise not to fight|the divorce and then gum up the works? [3356][3377]I meant to let you go,|but you know... [3379][3402]...you never miss the water|till the well runs dry. [3404][3432]A big lummox like you,|hiring an airplane to write: [3434][3475]"Hildy, don't be hasty.|Remember my dimple. Walter". [3477][3502]It delayed our divorce|while the judge watched it. [3504][3544]Not to brag, but I've still got|the dimple, and in the same place. [3547][3578]I acted like any husband who didn't|want to see his home broken up. [3580][3608]- What home?|- Remember the home I promised you? [3610][3649]Sure I do. The one we were to|have right after the honeymoon. [3651][3663]That honeymoon! [3665][3700]Was it my fault? Did I know that|coal mine would have a cave-in? [3702][3730]I intended to be with you|on our honeymoon. [3732][3765]Instead of two weeks in Atlantic City|with my bridegroom... [3767][3798]...I spent two weeks in a coal mine|with John Kruptzky. [3800][3809]You don't deny it? [3811][3840]No. We beat the whole country|on that story! [3842][3872]Suppose we did!|That isn't what I got married for! [3874][3896]What is the good?|Look, Walter. [3898][3941]I came to tell you to stop|phoning me a dozen times a day... [3943][3952]...sending me 20 telegrams... [3955][3976]I write a beautiful telegram, don't I? [3978][3992]Are you going to listen? [3994][4021]What's the use of fighting?|I'll tell you what you do. [4023][4056]Come back to work on the paper,|and if we can't get along... [4058][4076]...we'll get married again. [4078][4106]- What?|- Sure, I haven't any hard feelings. [4108][4140]Walter, you're wonderful|in a loathsome sort of way. [4142][4174]- Be quiet so I can say what I have to.|- Tell me over lunch. [4176][4191]I have a lunch date. [4194][4205]- Break it.|- I can't. [4207][4227]Hands off!|Are you playing osteopath? [4229][4242]Temper, temper. [4244][4287]You are no longer my husband|and no longer my boss. [4289][4302]And you won't be my boss. [4304][4328]- What does that mean?|- Just what I say. [4330][4346]You're not coming back to work? [4348][4373]You're right for|the first time today. [4382][4400]- Got a better offer?|- You bet! [4402][4432]Work for somebody else!|That's the gratitude I get. [4434][4445]Stop hamming. [4447][4488]Five years ago, you were a college girl.|I took a doll-faced hick! [4490][4505]You wouldn't have|if I wasn't doll-faced. [4508][4542]It was a novelty to have a face|to look at without shuddering. [4544][4579]I made you a great reporter.|You won't be as good on any other paper. [4581][4610]We're a team.|The paper needs both of us! [4612][4626]Sold American! [4628][4655]- All right, go ahead.|- Listen, Walter, please. [4657][4691]The paper's going to have to get along|without me. So will you. [4693][4705]It didn't work out. [4707][4747]It would have worked if you'd been|satisfied as editor and reporter. [4749][4769]You had to marry me|and spoil everything. [4771][4803]I wasn't satisfied?|I suppose I proposed to you! [4805][4833]Practically!|Making eyes at me until I broke down. [4835][4869]"Oh, Walter!"|I was tight when I proposed to you. [4871][4899]If you'd been a gentleman,|you'd have forgotten about it. [4901][4925]You used to pitch better than that. [4927][4947]Hello. What? [4949][4969]Sweeney? What can I do for you? [4971][4998]What? Wait a minute.|I'm not Sweeney. I'm Duffy. [5001][5030]Sweeney, you can't do that to me.|Not today, of all days! [5034][5056]What's the matter with you?|Are you a loony? [5066][5097]Now, listen, Sweeney.|This is no time... [5112][5159]All right, I suppose so.|If you have to, you have to. [5161][5185]- He had to.|- Everything happens to me. [5187][5218]365 days in a year,|and this has to be the day. [5220][5229]What's wrong? [5231][5243]- Sweeney.|- Dead? [5245][5282]He might as well be.|He picks today to have a baby! [5284][5297]Not on purpose? [5299][5330]He's supposed to cover the|Earl Williams case, and where is he? [5332][5364]Walking up and down in a hospital.|Is there no honor? [5366][5382]Haven't you got anybody else? [5391][5413]Nobody else on the paper can write. [5415][5427]This'll break me. [5429][5438]Unless... [5442][5452]Hildy! [5458][5484]- You've got to help me.|- Not a chance, Walter. [5486][5501]Get out of here, Duffy! [5503][5512]Save your breath. [5514][5532]This'll bring us back together again. [5534][5552]That's what I'm afraid of. [5554][5575]This is bigger than anything else. [5577][5587]Do it for the paper. [5589][5600]Scram, Svengali. [5602][5624]If you won't do it for love,|how about money? [5626][5641]I'll raise you $25 a week. [5643][5656]Listen to me, you baboon... [5658][5676]I'll make it $35|and not a cent more. [5678][5690]Listen! [5692][5707]How much will the other paper pay? [5709][5719]There's no other paper. [5721][5752]Then the raise is off.|You go back to your old salary. [5754][5771]Trying to blackjack me. [5773][5789]- I'm busy.|- Take a good look at it. [5791][5819]Do you know what it is?|It's an engagement ring. [5848][5864]Engagement ring? [5895][5914]I tried to tell you right away... [5917][5938]...but you would start reminiscing. [5942][5969]I'm getting married,|and I'm getting as far away... [5971][5997]...from the ne...
