00:00Is it all right?
00:02Yes. Don't make too much noise.
00:04Oh, what's up?
00:05Grandma's.
00:06She's gone to bed now.
00:08She was so tired she got downstairs.
00:11I shouldn't have come this morning.
00:13Why not?
00:14Besides, you're hungry.
00:16Gran always leaves something out for me when I'm late.
00:18You're spoiled.
00:26Wish you'd spoil me.
00:30Fancy a glass of beer?
00:31Well, just a half. It's bad on the figure.
00:34You've nothing to worry about.
00:36Your figure's all right.
00:42You and me, Jenny, huh?
00:57What's the matter?
00:59Don't you like it here?
01:06What are you staring at?
01:10You.
01:12Sitting here.
01:14Glamorous.
01:16As you are now.
01:20You say the things a girl likes, don't you?
01:23You're very attractive, darling, because you've been drinking.
01:26Right. So have you.
01:28That's no reason for pushing me off.
01:30Isn't it?
01:32What's holding you back, Joan?
01:35Oh, a lot of things.
01:38Come on, let's hear them.
01:40The future.
01:42Marry me.
01:44I'll take care of that.
01:46Well, that'd be fine, Ned, if...
01:48What?
01:49Well...
01:51Money.
01:53I thought it didn't matter if you were in love.
01:57We do pretty well here.
01:59We?
02:00It isn't your farm, Ned?
02:02Of course it is.
02:03I am the boss.
02:04Everyone does as I say.
02:06Me too, I suppose.
02:08No, you'd be the exception.
02:10A maid, a new car, and trips to town whenever you felt like it.
02:14Well, that's another thing.
02:16I'm used to the town. I always have been.
02:18I couldn't settle in the country.
02:20Ned, I chucked my job today.
02:23But I thought you liked it.
02:25Well, when I have a beauty parlor of my own.
02:27Oh, I had a row and walked out.
02:30That brings matters to a head, doesn't it?
02:32Yes.
02:35Okay.
02:37Marry me.
02:39Ned, you know when Tony asked me to come over this evening?
02:43Oh, him.
02:45Tony's all right.
02:47The way he looks at you isn't.
02:49I don't like these toppity-happeny pianist-making passes at my girl.
02:53He has a lot of influence.
02:55So what?
02:56Enough to get me started in a business of my own.
02:58But I thought you said you didn't like him.
03:03Is that where you were last night?
