02:06How do you like this?
02:09Most women holding important business positions today
02:12have come up by the stenographer private secretary route.
02:15There's a long, long trail of winding.
02:18Now listen.
02:18A man is propelled toward the woman he marries by emotion.
02:22A fool.
02:24But his selection of a secretary is more careful and intelligent.
02:28Yes, it is, I don't think.
02:30First he looks at her legs.
02:32Then he smells her perfume.
02:34Then he stares at her face.
02:35And if he still admires her legs, his soul...
02:39Behave.
02:40I'm serious.
02:41You mean the modern businessman's secretary is closer than his wife.
02:45Yet not his wife.
02:47Now look here, Kate.
02:50Come here.
02:55You see that office building over there?
02:57It's an architectural monstrosity.
02:59In every office is a stenographer.
03:02You called them potential mothers last time.
03:04And in every office is an employer with a wife at home.
03:07A fool at home.
03:08Do you realize the number of jealous wives and secretaries there are in this nation hating each other's souls?
03:13Figure it out.
03:14I tell you, Kate, if you write a book about the office wife, I'll make you rich.
03:19I suppose I can't resist that argument.
03:21You'll do it then?
03:22Okay.
03:23Good.
03:27I'm sorry, Mr. Fellowes, but this time is taken.
03:30I'm just going, Andrews.
03:35There's your office wife.
03:37And you haven't one at home.
03:39You see, your idea is mere bunk.
03:41Pretty good selling bunk, isn't it?
03:43I'll tell you something else, Kate.
03:45I'm going to be married.
03:47Are you really?
03:49Congratulations.
03:50Oh.
03:52I'll give you a raffle.
03:55Thanks.
03:57Don't give it to your baby.
03:59Keep it yourself.
04:09Miss Andrews, make out a contract for Miss Halsey.
04:12A nine-part serial title is Office Wife.
04:16Office Wife?
04:17Selling title, eh?
04:19Great.
04:21Andrew Washburn and Mr. Lewin are outside.
04:25Lewin?
04:26The Chicago poet.
04:27You like his stuff.
04:28I told them both to wait.
04:32It's now 12.10, and you haven't any luncheon appointments.
04:35So I sent for your tray.
04:37At two, a general employee's conference.
04:41You gave me some notes.
04:42Perhaps you'd better look them over.
04:49Signing these checks will fill in your time
04:51until your tray comes.
05:08At four, it's a lawyer from Hollister and Evans.
05:13A plagiarism case.
05:14Oh, that's a waste of time.
05:16I'm acquainted with the facts.
05:18I'll handle it for you.
05:19Yes, you would handle it, please.
05:21That gives you an extra hour for your magazine set-up.
05:24I need it.
05:25And that takes us late into the evening.
05:29I'm sorry, Miss Andrews, to work you like this.
05:33I was only thinking of you.
05:35You're so tired.
05:37Me?
05:38I'm iron.
05:42Please don't bolt your food.
05:45Not, not.
05:46Better show that point in.
05:48After lunch.
05:49Yes, but...
05:50Besides, when you finish,
05:51your tailor will be here with some cloth samples.
05:54Tailor?
05:55Mm-hmm.
05:55Some of your coats are getting
05:58quite shiny at the back.
06:00Are they really?
06:01Yes.
06:02This one is.
06:04It's quite shiny.
06:06Woman, you're a jewel.
06:51waiting long, Ted.
06:53Only about an hour, honey.
06:54Every time I call for you,
06:56you're the last one out.
06:57I'm awfully sorry, Ted.
06:58Say, why do they always pick on you
07:00to work so late?
07:02Supposing I were like poor old Andrews.
07:04She often has to work with the boss
07:05until midnight.
07:07Yeah?
07:08And where does that get her?
07:17It is with considerable disappointment
07:20that I am returning your manuscript.
07:22Yours sincerely.
07:26Well, that's all of that, thank heaven.
07:31It's been a long day.
07:34I'll send you home in my car.
07:37I can just as well call a cab.
07:38No, no, no.
07:39Take my car.
07:40I'll be here for an hour.
07:42I wish you'd call it a day, Mr. Fellows.
07:45You look so tired.
07:47You're always saying that.
07:50Good night.
07:57Anything, uh...
07:59Only...
08:00I wish you'd take a vacation.
08:03You're bound to have another breakdown.
08:05Really, you are.
08:06Well, I'm about to obey you.
08:08As usual.
08:09I'm so glad.
08:11Well, then you haven't heard the good news?
08:15I'm going to Europe on my honeymoon.
08:19Oh.
08:21I'll be married on the 16th.
08:24Oh.
08:29Miss Andrews.
08:39I'm...
08:40I'm quite all right.
08:42Well, well, come.
08:44Sit down for a moment.
08:48There.
08:50Now, just sit still for a moment.
09:18Mr. Mowlock.
09:19Please turn the rest of your work over to, uh, Miss Dunphy.
09:22Why?
09:23Is anything wrong?
09:24I'd like to talk to you.
09:25Come to my office, please.
09:26Yes, sir.
09:47Come in, Miss Mowlock.
09:51Sit down.
09:56Well, you've been promoted.
09:59Promoted?
10:00I have?
10:01Yes.
10:02Miss Andrews resigned last night.
10:04You're to be Mr. Fellow's new secretary.
10:07Yeah?
10:08You see, he's leaving next week for Europe on his honeymoon.
10:12While he's gone, you'll have entire charge of his office,
10:15so you'll know what it's all about when he gets back.
10:17Congratulations.
10:18Wee!
10:19Oh, oh, I'm sorry, I...
10:22Your new salary begins next week,
10:24but I'm going to give you a week off so you'll get used to the idea.
10:28Oh, thank you, Mr. McGann.
10:31And, Anne,
10:34you got this on your work.
10:37What I mean is, charm counts,
10:40but you got this on your brain.
10:42Don't forget that, Anne.
10:44Indeed, I won't, Mr. McGann.
10:46Now, run along.
10:47Fix your face.
12:02What's the idea?
12:04Sis, aren't you going to work?
12:07Sis!
12:08No.
12:09Fired?
12:11I thought you would be.
12:13You know, you can't rinse people the way you do.
12:16Who made a play for you?
12:18Nobody.
12:19Oh, don't tell me that, Ann.
12:21Honestly, you ought to get wise to yourself.
12:23Take me, for instance.
12:25I've gained six pounds.
12:27Maybe more.
12:28But still, I'm the pet model of the elite dress shop.
12:31And you know why?
12:32Because I let that frog of a manager kiss me on the ear every now and then.
12:37I got my raise on brains.
12:40Not good looks.
12:41Mr. McGowan said so.
12:42Yeah, how much is your raise?
12:43A dollar a week?
12:45If you come home nights before I'm asleep, you might learn something.
12:48I'm the president's private secretary, and I've got a week's vacation.
12:52I'm to handle the office until he gets back from Europe.
12:55My salary's 45 a week, and how do you like that?
13:04You wouldn't rape your big sister, would you?
13:06Just come back at lunchtime and see me getting up for breakfast, if you think I'm kidding.
13:10I mean, you do have the darnest luck.
13:12Don't I?
13:13With my luck in your ears, the Murdoch sister should get ahead.
13:17Oh, gee, honey, I'm glad.
13:19Oh, I'm not cross.
13:21Here, kiss me.
13:23I'm terrible glad, sis.
13:25Gee, I'm glad.
13:26How'd you get it?
13:27Old Andrews resigned.
13:28They say the boss found out she was in love with him.
13:31And they think he told her he was getting married, see.
13:34And he sent her home the other night in the car, and the chauffeur said she bawled all the way.
13:38Hey, what kind of a chic is this boss of yours?
13:41He won't be hard to have around the office.
13:43Strictly business, huh?
13:45Strictly, says you.
13:46Little miss efficiency from now on, is that it?
13:48To perfection.
13:50And in ten years, they'll be wheeling you down to the automobile.
13:53Gee, I wish I had your chance.
13:55You'd mess it, just like Andrews did.
13:57You think so?
13:58All she had was efficiency.
14:01All you've got is a doubtful 34.
14:04And I suppose when you have both, like you, it's just too bad for the boss, huh?
14:08Let me tell you something.
14:09I'm not going to give the best years of my life to getting stung like Andrews.
14:13I'm glad you realized that.
14:14Don't you suppose I know what this business game is for a girl?
14:17It's about as fair as a marriage game.
14:20Catch is catch can, and anything goes.
14:22I'm glad you realized that.
14:24Why do you suppose I've been coming home nights?
14:26Getting my beauty sleep?
14:30Oh, you talk to him.
14:34I'm glad you're going to be here.
14:35Ted?
14:37Ann's not going to the office this morning.
14:39No, she's got a vacation.
14:41Yeah.
14:42He wants to show you his new Ford.
14:44Oh, tell him to call by and by.
14:46Call her later, will you, Ted?
14:48Hey, hey, wait a minute.
14:49Will you take me to the shop?
14:51Okay, I won't be a minute.
14:54How about the boyfriend?
14:56How does he fit in now?
14:58No different.
14:59You wouldn't marry that dub reporter, would you?
15:01I've never meant to scramble up my life with Ted or anybody like him.
15:05I've told him that until I'm tired.
15:07He thinks you would.
15:08Oh, I'll go down and disillusion him.
15:17I'll be seeing you.
15:31Yes, Mr. Fellowes returned from Europe yesterday.
15:35He's expected in the office at 10 o'clock this morning.
15:39Oh, not at all.
16:48Good morning, Ann.
16:51Good morning.
16:55Well, he's here.
16:56Really?
16:57Yep, he's outside, churning with the gang.
17:00You like it?
17:01Is that his wife?
17:03Mm-hmm.
17:04Some of us clubbed together by the friend.
17:06Oh, I think it's gorgeous, Mr. McGowan.
17:09Isn't she beautiful?
17:10Yes, I guess she's got looks enough not to worry about any competition.
17:15I shouldn't wonder.
17:17I got a glimpse of her once out on the beach.
17:19Did you really?
17:20Yes.
17:22Her knees are perfect.
17:25Hmm?
17:29Don't forget, Ann.
17:31Her knees are magnificent.
17:55Yes, we'll take up that matter first.
17:57Get the reports.
17:58Yeah, Miss Murdoch has them already.
18:00How do you do?
18:01How do you do?
18:21How do you do?
18:23Miss Murdoch, he wants you.
18:26Oh.
18:28For dictation purpose.
18:31Okay.
18:41Uh-huh.
18:47Okay.
18:56Uh-huh.
19:00Mm-hmm.
19:00Uh-huh.
19:03Did you go through this appointment list?
19:05I put down what seemed most important for today.
19:07Cancel everything.
19:08I'm going to be busy all day.
19:11Take a cable.

20:21Who's that?
20:24Hello. Hello.

20:28Who do you want to talk to?
20:30Murdoch?
20:31No, no. You got the wrong...
20:34Was your name Murdoch?
20:35Yes, Mr. Fellows.
20:36That's for you.
20:39Hello.
20:40Oh, Ted.
20:42I'm very busy.
20:43Would you mind calling up some other time?

21:04In view of the situation we are unwilling.
21:08Oh, and by the way, Miss Murphy.
21:10Murdoch.
21:12Pardon me.
21:13Miss Murdoch.
21:15Kindly ask your friends not to call on my private office.
21:19Oh, it won't happen again, Mr. Fellows.
21:21You see, the party didn't know you were back.
21:24I'm dreadfully sorry.
21:25That's all right.
21:25That's all right.
21:27We are unwilling to involve ourselves in a situation that may.
21:31Oh.
21:33What's the matter, too fast?
21:34Oh, not at all.
21:35That's good.
21:37That may later prejudice our good standing in the eyes of the British copyright office.

23:52I'll put these back.
23:57What's this, uh, white stuff?
24:00That's cottage cheese.
24:03I don't like cottage cheese.
24:05But it's very good for you.
24:07Well, then I suppose I'll have to eat it.
24:10Here's your consomme.
24:11Oh, splendid.
24:13Now, if you'd just send McGowan up, we can talk over that, uh...
24:16Vista Fellows, would you mind waiting half an hour until you've finished your lunch?
24:20But, uh...
24:21We'll be able to work much faster afterwards.
24:24Oh, it always makes me nervous to lunch alone.
24:26I'll have your tea in just a moment.
24:43Where do you have your lunch?
24:44I have it in a bag, in my office.
24:47Don't you go out.
24:49There's hardly time.
24:51Here, here, here.
24:54You sit right down here, young lady.
24:57You'll only talk business.
24:59Not a word.
25:01Sit down.
25:02All right, then.
25:05Have some cottage cheese.
25:14I don't know why I didn't think of this before.
25:20Well, would you like just one more?
25:24If you're not too tired.
25:25No, indeed.
25:27All right.
25:28Hallswick, Paper Mills, Old Town, Maine.
25:34Your wire received, and I'm replying by letter in detail.
25:39Oh, Mama!
25:41Hello.
25:42Hello.
25:43Hello, Dickie boy.
25:45Hello.
25:45I think you'll find your mama down there by the pool.
25:48Hey, come here.
25:49Let me see you.
25:50Give me a kiss.
25:53Isn't he sweet?
25:54Yes, indeed.
25:55You like children?
25:56Who doesn't?
25:57Oh, I didn't know.
25:59I thought they were becoming a little less popular.
26:02I suppose I'm old-fashioned.
26:05Does that burn you?
26:07No, not at all.
26:09Oh, here's a match.
26:10Oh, thanks.
26:13Present here, isn't it?
26:14Isn't it?
26:16Ow.
26:18Well, that did burn you.
26:21How long were you going to suffer in silence?
26:23All good secretaries do that.
26:26Oh.
26:27You were good secretary?
26:28You never scolded me.
26:30Ever have a boss that did?
26:32Hmm.
26:32Lots of them.
26:33Oh, well.
26:34I'm just a failure.
26:36A successful failure.
26:39Going to give me a good recommendation when I'm fired?
26:42When you're fired?
26:45Just sign that.
26:47Fellows and Company.
26:48Daddy!
26:49Yes!
26:50Oh, Daddy!
26:52Excuse me a moment.
26:53Certainly.
26:57Yes?
26:58Come on, we're going in swimming.
27:00Just a minute.
27:01Right-o.
27:09Well, that's all.
27:10All right.
27:15Oh!
27:16Oh, my foot's asleep.
27:17I must have been clicking on it.
27:18I thought I missed it.
27:20Sorry you didn't look for it before.
27:21Oh.
27:23Oh.
27:28I'll be in town tomorrow.
27:31And thank you for running down.
27:32Oh, it's been great fun.
27:34Well, if you'll wait a moment, I'll send you home in my car.
27:36Oh, don't bother.
27:37I have a car.
27:38You have a car?
27:39Yes, thank you.
27:40Goodbye.
27:41Goodbye.
28:03Bye, George, I forgot to give a message to McGowan.
28:07I'll be right back.
28:12All right.
28:13Come on, let's go in.
28:14Okay.
28:15Come on.
28:27Oh, mister.
29:06Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
29:26But we'll never finish.
29:27Oh, well, we'll take another day.
29:29You know it's important to have this in the office for the day after tomorrow.
29:33Yeah?
29:35Well, your health is a little bit important.
29:37So is yours.
29:39When I've gone, I hope you'll rest.
29:43You're a jewel.
29:59We ought to be out there playing.
30:02You know, spring is only a few miles south of us.
30:04And coming closer every minute.
30:09Restless feeling waiting for it.
30:12Isn't it?
30:23You know, when I love you and my family?
30:27I'm in your group.
30:27I'm in my group.
30:30I'm in my group.
30:31I'm in my group.
30:46Let's have this dance.
30:48Oh, I'd like some air.
30:49That's great.
30:50Shall we wait?
30:51That all depends upon your patience, darling.
30:53And that all depends upon the hooch.
30:55Order another bottle on Larry.
30:57That's a great idea.
30:58A splendid idea.
31:00Waiter.
31:05How about that air, honey?
31:06I'd love it.
31:08Okay.
31:09Oh, naughty, naughty.
31:38Hear that?
31:39That means he's safe.
31:41Isn't he stupid?
31:44If you were up there in his place, would we hear sounds like that?
31:47Less metallic, I think.
31:50I should think so.
31:55Oh, I made a mistake.
32:01What?
32:05Let me see.
32:07Isn't it awful?
32:09Oh, you poor kid.
32:11You're all worn out.
32:12I don't care.
32:15Anne, you're glorious.
32:19Am I?
32:30Your key?
32:32Yes.
32:33I have another one.
32:51Well, I gave them time enough.
33:00Come in.
33:05Oh, hello.
33:08Oh.
33:09Larry, what are you trying to do?
33:10Kill Miss Murdoch?
33:12Oh, she's been wonderful.
33:13I'm sure she has.
33:15Tell me, are you going to carry on?
33:16I can burn up another hour or so.
33:18No, I think we'll stop right now.
33:20Miss Murdoch looks tired.
33:23Why, my dear, are you all shaking?
33:25Oh, I'll be all right.
33:26I don't suppose Larry ever thought to offer you a highball.
33:29She doesn't use them.
33:31Oh, well, of course, if you know that.
33:33But I'm sure you don't.
33:34I bet he didn't offer you one.
33:37I'll have some tea later.
33:39Well, I suppose tea's all right.
33:40It would work.
33:42Good night, my dear.
33:43Good night.
33:45Oh, tell me, Larry, are you coming to bed?
33:47Coming right now.
33:48Right-o.
33:55Good night, Miss Murdoch.
33:57Good night.
34:13Larry, have you any strength left?
34:16Plenty.
34:17Will you help me off with this suit of armor?
34:21Oh, up.
34:31Thanks.
34:32Good night.
34:33Thanks.
36:42Oh, I love him.
36:43And his wife don't know?
36:45Well, if those aren't the signs of the coming me season.
36:47Oh, I knew you wouldn't understand.
36:49Well, suppose you make me.
36:52Oh, what happened, honey?
36:54Oh, nothing much.
36:55But after I found out I cared, I saw them going to their room together.
36:59What of it?
37:00Their door closed in my face.
37:03Well, what of that?
37:04What of it?
37:05Everything.
37:06Oh, I'll die if I think of it.
37:08Oh, you'll get over that.
37:10Oh, I've got to forget him.
37:11If you'd only stick it out for what's in it, you won't be so crazy about him.
37:14You've never loved anybody.
37:15What do you know?
37:17Nothing.
37:18And I hope I stay dumb.
37:19One sap in the Murak family is plenty.
37:27Hello?
37:28Ted?
37:29Yeah, she's back, but she doesn't want to talk to you.
37:32Yes, I will.
37:33Wait a minute.
37:38Hello, Ted.
37:40And where do you think little Ted is sitting right now?
37:43At the Sunday editor's desk.
37:45Yeah.
37:46Promoted yesterday.
37:47Say, I'm just finding out where I stand around this dump.
37:50Perhaps you'd better take me out tomorrow night and tell me all about it.
37:54Oh, so my stock's on the up again, is it?
37:57Well, that's life.
37:58Okay, Ted, but listen.
38:00Be on time for a change.
38:01They need me on this desk once in a while.
38:03Very well, Ted.
38:06Expect to console yourself with that washout?
38:09If I'd stuck to my own kind in the first place, I wouldn't have got hers.
38:13Ted wants a parking space for a couple of babies and a free laundry.
38:16If you want to learn what the word lonesome is, take him on.
38:20Maybe you think I couldn't hold him.
38:22Not from the looks of the heel marks in that Ford of his.
38:27You can break your heart over that tramp just as quick as the boss, kid.
38:30Only in a different way.
38:31Okay.
38:36Okay.
39:20Why did you write this?
39:24I was afraid I couldn't say it.
39:26What's it all about?
39:28I'm sorry to inconvenience you, Mr. Fellow, but I thought 30 days would be sufficient.
39:32Well, why should you leave at all?
39:35I've had another offer.
39:37A better position?
39:40Yes, somewhat.
39:41That's not so, Anne.
39:43If it were, you wouldn't go about it this way.
39:45But what other way could I?
39:46You would have told me if you'd had a better offer, give me a chance to meet it.
39:50You know how I depend on you.
39:52Oh, why beat about the bush?
39:53You know I need you, you know I can't get along without you.
39:55Perhaps that's one reason why I should go.
39:58Anne.
39:58We're getting to depend upon each other too much.
40:01I hoped, Anne, that you had seen.
40:04I thought perhaps the other night when I...
40:07Please, Mr. Fellows.
40:08That shouldn't have happened.
40:10Is that why you're going?
40:14That decided me.
40:15It won't happen again, Anne.
40:17I promise you that.
40:19Oh, why can't we go on just as we were before?
40:22This isn't fair to either of us.
40:24To let a thing like this...
40:25I've been unfair with you right along, Mr. Fellows.
40:28What do you mean?
40:29I didn't tell you the truth about that boy you saw in the fort.
40:33I wanted to be sure of my position here.
40:36And wait until he'd been promoted.
40:38Well, now that's happened.
40:40He's Sunday editor now.
40:42And you, you're going to...
40:45We're going to be married.
40:46Very shortly.
40:48Be married?
40:50I'm sorry I didn't tell you this before.
40:57I'm sorry too, Anne.
41:02Anne.
41:09Are you quite sure that you love him?
41:13Very.
41:18I wish you all the happiness in the world.
41:31I'll stay with you until you find a new secretary.
41:35Thank you, Anne.
41:38Shall I send in Miss Halter?
41:40Tell her to come back next week.
41:41I'm in no mood to see her.
41:56All right.
41:58Yeah.
42:24Let's go.
42:41Anything wrong, Larry?
42:43Oh.
42:45Sorry if I woke you up.
42:46Oh, it doesn't matter.
42:48What's disturbing you, dear?
42:51Let's talk.
42:53Shall we?
42:56Oh, it's cold in here.
42:59Jump into bed.
43:12What's on your mind, Larry?
43:14First of all, I want to ask your forgiveness.
43:17For what?
43:18I've neglected you shamefully.
43:20Well, I don't think you were aware of it, which, of course, took the curse off of it somewhat.
43:24Well, perhaps I wasn't.
43:26I've been very stupid.
43:28I suppose you're no different from other successful men.
43:31Will you forgive me?
43:33Why, of course.
43:36But it's hardly fair, letting you beg my forgiveness.
43:40Why?
43:42I suppose I'm no different from other neglected wives.
43:45That's not a very nice thing to hear, Linda, but I suppose I deserve it.
43:51Perhaps if I had made a fuss over your neglect from the beginning, you would have realized what was happening.
43:57But my pride wouldn't let me.
43:59It's not nice to hear, but I do deserve it.
44:03I'm sorry.
44:05Linda, how would you like to go away for a while, say, to Europe?
44:10I've been thinking of it for some time.
44:12Have you, dear?
44:13Well, I could be ready by the end of the week.
44:16I meant alone, Larry.
44:18Alone?
44:20That's how it is now.
44:25You mean you want a divorce?
44:29I don't think you'd mind it much.
44:31Is that necessary, Linda?
44:33I've gotten over loving you, Larry.
44:35But perhaps...
44:36I do love someone else.
44:39Oh, I see.
44:43Jameson, I suppose?
44:45Yes.
44:49Well, I guess that settles it.
44:55Larry, don't you realize you're in love with your Miss Murdoch?
44:58Why, she's going to marry that Jane Newspaper man very shortly.
45:01Oh, I'm terribly sorry.
45:03Oh, it's all right.
45:05I wish I could help you.
45:07I'm sorry there's nothing I can do.
45:09Oh, don't worry.
45:10Why, you're shivering, Larry.
45:12You're cold.
45:12No, no, it's just my nerves.
45:15Here, get into bed, please.
45:16Oh, no, no, no, I...
45:18Please do as I ask.
45:29Shall I get the electric pan?
45:31No, no.
45:32No, you just run along and you'll be shivering yourself.
45:35Good night, dear.
45:38Will you kiss me?
45:40Of course.
45:46In a moment, I'll cry.
45:48Just run along.
45:53Shall I switch off the lights?
45:55If you will.
45:59All right?
46:00Fine.
46:02Good night, Larry.
46:04Good night, dear.
46:16Well, moon, all right.
46:18Isn't it?
46:20Couldn't be improved on.
46:21No.
46:22I guess it couldn't.
46:24Say, I got an idea, hon.
46:26Let's come down here on our honeymoon.
46:28Very well.
46:29The first night we get down here, the old moon will be pretty well down to the quarter.
46:34And maybe you don't think I'll watch it from now on.
46:37She can't shrink too fast for me, baby.
46:43Say, you're not going so strong tonight.
46:46I had a hard day.
46:48Watch the old moon, baby.
46:51The date she shrinks to the quarter, you walk out of that office for good.
46:56I guess you won't cry about that.
46:58No.
46:58How about it?
46:59No.
47:00I won't cry.
47:02You certainly sound like you would.
47:05I'm terribly tired, really.
47:07Sure, I know.
47:08That guy works you like a dog.
47:12Here.
47:14Take a little sip of that.
47:15No, thanks.
47:16No?
47:17Uh-huh.
47:18Do you mind if I take another little one?
47:20Not at all.
47:28Here, take a sip, then you won't get it on my breath.
47:30Oh, I don't mind.
47:31Oh, come on now.
47:32Go on.
47:33I know how it is.
47:34A dame don't like the smell of hooch on a guy's breath.
47:36Well, that's all right.
47:37Come on.
47:38No, I...
47:43Yeah, that's better.
47:44We want preparation, huh?
47:46Believe me.
47:48And I'm not laying off lips like those on a night like this.
47:53Please, Ted.
47:55There's a limit to that.
47:56Say, I'll say you're low.
47:58Better come up on the boardwalk and eat some food.
48:01Why don't you go?
48:02I'll wait.
48:03I'd rather have the air.
48:05Fresh air?
48:05Say, maybe you don't think I like fresh air.
48:08I'm the original fresh air fiend.
48:11Ever know that?
48:12Sure I am.
48:14Every night I sleep with every window in the place wide open.
48:17Winter and summer.
48:18Ever know that?
48:19Sure I do.
48:21And it's a great system.
48:22I learned that from a leading physician.
48:25He told me that when I was having cold right along.
48:28Ever since that, I've been sleeping with my windows wide open.
48:31And I've never had a cold since.
48:34Believe me, baby, that's one thing you're going to get after we're married.
48:37Plenty of fresh air.
48:38And that's one of the few things I'm going to insist on.
48:41Open windows at night.
48:43I learned that from a doctor that knows his business.
48:46Say, he's one of the biggest specialists in Philly.
48:49Ever hear of Doc Hempstead?
48:51No?
48:52Well, he knows his stuff like nobody's business.
48:55And he gave me another tip, too.
48:57Lay off the woolen underwear.
48:59Ever know that?
49:01It gets you hot at the wrong time.
49:03Look.
49:04Look what I wear the year around.
49:07Look at that material.
49:10That's all I wear all the year around.
49:12Here, Ann.
49:13Would you believe that?
49:14Take a feel of it.
49:17Say.
49:19What's wrong?
49:20I'm awfully tired.
49:22Gee, aren't you happy?
49:24Of course, dear.
49:25But don't mind me.
49:28Come along.
49:29We're going to get a hot dog.
49:30All right.
49:32Wait a minute.
49:33Give us a kiss.
49:36Now you'll feel better.
49:42The next time we come down here, it'll be on our wedding night.
49:46When that old moon shrinks to the quarter.
49:50That up, baby.
49:55Step on it, you old son of a gun.
49:57Step on it.
50:08Why, what's the matter?
50:09Oh, I lost a dime.
50:11Shucks, what's a dime?
50:16Go, what does it say?
50:17Go.
50:22Go.
50:25Go.
50:32Go.
50:34Go.
50:35Go.
50:36Go.
50:37Go.
50:37Go.
50:41Go.
50:44That new secretary, Anne.
50:46I don't know. I don't know.
50:48She seemed quite intelligent when I showed her things.
50:51This being the last afternoon, I thought she'd better try it alone.
50:54Well, it isn't altogether her fault.
50:56It's the boss.
50:57You know, it's difficult to make a change.
51:00I'm terribly sorry.
51:02Yes.
51:03Sorry as you could be under the circumstances.
51:06See you before you go.
51:07I'll drop in, Mr. McGowan.
51:11I'll drop in, Mr. McGowan.
51:41The last one.
51:43I guess you won't complain.
51:46I may not cash this one.
51:47Oh, saving it the souvenir of your business life, eh?
51:51Yes.
51:52A pretty expensive souvenir.
51:55You'll understand if this one doesn't come soon.
51:57Well, goodbye, Anne.
52:00And lots of happiness to the both of you.
52:04Goodbye.
52:05Bye.
52:06Bye.
52:27Have you come to say goodbye?
52:29I, uh, I thought if the work wasn't finished and you wanted me to stay a little while tonight, I...
52:34I couldn't ask that of you.
52:35Oh, I wouldn't mind.
52:37One more night can't hurt.
52:39You must have a thousand things to do now that you're...
52:42But I'd really like to stay.
52:44If I can help.
52:45I can't tell you how delighted I'd feel.
52:47Shall we start now?
52:49Yes, get your pad and come back.
53:10That's the last letter, I think.
53:13By the time you've looked over these, I'll have this one typed.
53:36Hello?
53:37Oh, it's you.
53:39No, Anne isn't here.
53:40She's working with the boss.
53:41Well, what's she working with the boss for?
53:43Time's up at five o'clock.
53:44Maybe she likes it.
53:45What do you know about that?
53:46Say, hey, don't try and get my goat over that old walrus.
53:49Not in your class, is he handsome?
53:51Not so you'd notice it.
53:52I know how to hold my women.
53:54And how?
53:55And the boss isn't so hot at it from what I hear.
53:58From what you hear?
53:59Yeah.
54:00Well, take this fast one right off the desk.
54:02The boss's wife is divorcing him.
54:04What?
54:05Yeah, that's how he holds him.
54:07And say, here's a laugh for Anne.
54:09The dope is that she might have been named if it hadn't been known she was marrying me.
54:13How about that?
54:15Hello?
54:16Hello?
54:16Catherine?
54:17Hello?
54:27Hello?
54:29Oh, hello, Catherine.
54:30Oh, I can't talk to you now.
54:32I'll see you home.
54:35You needn't have done that.
54:36Oh, it doesn't matter.
54:39Well, we're running through to form, aren't we?
54:43Past 11.
54:46And thank you, Anne.
54:48You sure there isn't one more letter?
54:50That's the last letter.
54:54You look tired.
54:56So do you, Mr. Fellows.
54:57I hope you're going to be very happy, Anne.
55:01Thanks.
55:02I shall.
55:06Well, better get your hat on.
55:07I'll send you home in the car.
55:16Anything?
55:17May I say something?
55:19Well?
55:20You should take a holiday.
55:22You need a rest and I'm afraid you'll have a breakdown.
55:24I expect to take a trip to the Orient.
55:27Won't that be nice?
55:28I know how eager Mrs. Fellows is to go.
55:33I'm going alone.
55:35Oh.
55:36Mrs. Fellows is going to Paris.
55:39To divorce me.
55:42Oh!
55:43Oh!
55:44Anne.
55:48Anne.
55:51I'm all right.
55:52Well, my poor girl.
55:55Here.
55:56Come, sit down for a moment.
56:00There.
56:01Thank you, Mr. Fellows.
56:03Are you quite sure you're feeling all right now?
56:06Oh, I'm much better.
56:07I'll take you home in the car.
56:08Ah.
56:10Perhaps you better answer that.
56:12Hello.
56:14Hi.
56:15Would you mind waiting?
56:17Your sister just fainted, but she's better now.
56:19Well, that's why I rang up, Mr. Fellows.
56:21You see, I thought something like that might happen.
56:23You know, it's an awful strain on a girl breaking off her engagement, even if she wants to.
56:27Broke it off?
56:28It takes a lot of energy to do that to a persistent man like Ted.
56:31I hadn't heard she'd broke it off.
56:33Well, of course, she wouldn't discuss such personal matters with you, Mr. Fellows.
56:36Why did she break it off?
56:38What's my sister saying?
56:40Why did she break it off?
56:41Well, Anne didn't love him, Mr. Fellows.
56:43Well, then why in the world...
56:45Well, you see, Mr. Fellows, Anne fell in love with a gentleman.
56:47It wouldn't be right to mention the party's name.
56:49He has a wife.
56:50So she thought it would be best to marry somebody else and put temptation out of her way.
56:53I'm telling you this, Mr. Fellows, because she's pretty broken up about it.
56:57And since you were her employer, I thought perhaps you might be able to talk to her sympathetically.
57:01Well, thanks.
57:03I'll try.
57:10Anne.
57:12Anne, it's time to clean up, Mr. Fellows.
57:14It is.
57:20Anne, home yet?
57:22Say, it's one o'clock.
57:23What does this guy, Fellows, think he's doing?
57:25I'd hate to tell you, but I bet he's good at it.
57:45What's that?
57:46It's a dime.
57:48Oh, shucks, what's a dime?
57:54I suppose you think I'm crazy bringing you down here at this hour.
57:58There isn't a loveliest spot on Earth.
58:01The moon at this quarter looks different to what I expected.
58:06Well, what did you expect, dear?
58:09Will you do something for me, Larry?
58:11Anything in the world.
58:13Then let me pick out your next secretary.
58:16Thank you, Larry.
58:16Thank you, Larry.
58:18Thank you, Larry.
