🎥 Shopworn (1932) is a pre-Code romantic drama that captures the emotional tension between love and social class, all while showcasing the early screen brilliance of Barbara Stanwyck and Regis Toomey. Directed by Nick Grinde, this Columbia Pictures production blends sentiment and social commentary with melodramatic flair, marking it as one of the significant films of early 1930s Hollywood.
⭐ Plot Summary
Dixie Evans (Barbara Stanwyck) is a feisty and independent young woman working as a waitress in a college town diner. She dreams of a better life, one beyond the clatter of dishes and narrow judgments of small-town minds. When she meets David Livingston (Regis Toomey), a kind and idealistic medical student from an elite background, the two fall deeply in love.
However, their romance is threatened by class prejudice, particularly from David’s overbearing and aristocratic mother, Mrs. Livingston (Clara Blandick), who disapproves of Dixie’s humble background. Fearing Dixie will derail David’s promising career, Mrs. Livingston uses her influence to separate them. Dixie is unjustly sent to reform school on trumped-up charges, a move orchestrated to remove her from David’s life.
Years pass, and Dixie reinvents herself as a successful nightclub performer in New York. David, now a doctor, crosses paths with her again, reigniting old passions. But with their lives on different tracks, and society still a looming obstacle, can love truly overcome the past?

00:00:00The End
00:00:30The End
00:01:00All right, Butch.
00:01:09400 tons of dynamite.
00:01:11This will be some shot.
00:01:12Biggest one yet, ain't it?
00:01:14Yeah.
00:01:14That's the finish.
00:01:24All crowd on the hill!
00:01:27All clear!
00:01:29Let her go!
00:01:29Look, boys, there's a man down.
00:01:54Come on!
00:01:56Come on!
00:01:56Bring it on!
00:01:57Bring it on!
00:01:58That fool's gone and got hurt now.
00:02:01Somebody's there.
00:02:01Now, come on!
00:02:09Now, I suppose I'll have to listen to Pop tonight telling me if it wasn't for him, the explosion would have been a flop.
00:02:14I'm always hoping one of them will be.
00:02:16No, they won't be.
00:02:17They're run by engineers, not doctors.
00:02:20Huh?
00:02:25Well, there goes today's excitement.
00:02:27Doesn't sound very loud up here.
00:02:33Come on, boys!
00:02:35Bring the shovels!
00:02:36Get the man out of here!
00:02:37Come on!
00:02:37Get the man out of here!
00:02:38Come on!
00:02:38Come on!
00:02:38Come on!
00:02:39Come on!
00:02:39Come on!
00:02:39Come on!
00:02:39Come on!
00:02:39Come on!
00:02:40Come on!
00:02:40Come on!
00:02:40Come on!
00:02:41Come on!
00:02:41Come on!
00:02:42Come on!
00:02:42Come on!
00:02:42Come on!
00:02:43Come on!
00:02:44Hey, Spike!
00:02:45Go get duck-boiled, please!
00:02:46Okay!
00:02:47Who is it, you know?
00:02:48Must have been Pop Lane working up there.
00:02:50Yeah.
00:02:51You ought to wear more sensible shoes, Kitty.
00:02:54Most men don't say that.
00:02:56No?
00:02:57What do they say?
00:02:58Oh, they say, you have very pretty legs, Kitty.
00:03:02Well, you have.
00:03:03And then they say, you're growing into quite a woman, aren't you?
00:03:06And then they try and make a date.
00:03:08Hmm.
00:03:09Do they have any luck?
00:03:10What?
00:03:11These bow hunks?
00:03:12Hey, Doc.
00:03:13There's a guy hurt.
00:03:14All right.
00:03:15I'm coming.
00:03:16You ought to get away from here, Kitty.
00:03:18You get a long way in the old big city.
00:03:20Yeah.
00:03:21Just as far as I'm willing to let a man take me.
00:03:25Well, what's wrong with that?
00:03:27Hey, Doc.
00:03:28This guy's dying.
00:03:29I'm coming.
00:03:34Another bow hunks got a sore toe.
00:03:36I won't be long.
00:03:38Will you wait?
00:03:39Maybe.
00:03:42One, two, one.
00:03:43One, two, two, one.
00:03:44They're all, two.
00:03:45Two.
00:03:46Two.
00:03:47Two.
00:03:48One.
00:03:49Eight, two.
00:03:50One.
00:03:51Two.
00:03:52One.
00:03:53Two.
00:03:54Two.
00:03:55Two.
00:03:56Two.
00:03:57One.
00:03:58One.
00:03:59Two.
00:04:00One.
00:04:01Two.
00:04:02Two.
00:04:03One.
00:04:04Two.
00:04:05Two.
00:04:06One.
00:04:07Two.
00:04:08As I've ever seen one.
00:04:10Little kitty.
00:04:28We can't forget, spit open.
00:04:29Come on, get him out.
00:04:30Spit open.
00:04:31Come on.
00:04:32Hang away there.
00:04:40Clips caved in.
00:04:42Puncture the lungs.
00:04:43It's done for, I guess.
00:04:45A couple of you hunkers will have to carry him up to the shack.
00:04:48That's the finish, I guess.
00:04:52It's easy with the grace.
00:04:54That's what you get fooling around with dynamite.
00:05:09I have nothing to leave you, Kitty, except maybe a little advice.
00:05:15Don't talk like that.
00:05:16Please, Pop.
00:05:17You're going to find this a tough world, Kitty.
00:05:20Be tough yourself.
00:05:23Then they can't hurt you.
00:05:24Not if you learn to take them.
00:05:27Go to your Aunt Dot.
00:05:29Too many men around here.
00:05:32You're grown now.
00:05:34Don't forget.
00:05:36Go to my sister.
00:05:39You're grown now.
00:05:41Don't forget.
00:05:43Go to my sister.
00:05:46Only one man killed in the biggest blast ever.
00:06:00Got away lucky at that.
00:06:01Yes.
00:06:02Keepin' up.
00:06:03Wasn't a bad guy, either.
00:06:05Old man Lane.
00:06:06I wonder what you're doing else.
00:06:08I wonder what you're doing else.
00:06:36Got them plates washed, Doc?
00:06:39Oh, my.
00:06:41I wish we could teach dishes to wash themselves.
00:06:44Like children and kittens and things.
00:06:47Yeah.
00:06:48If I had my way, we'd use nothing but paper plates.
00:06:54More sanitary.
00:06:55Yes, but they melt in the water.
00:06:58You don't wash them.
00:07:00Throw them away.
00:07:02Oh.
00:07:03Oh.
00:07:04Well, why don't we do that, then?
00:07:06Too expensive.
00:07:07Shh.
00:07:08Shh.
00:07:09Where's Kitty?
00:07:10Oh, she's outside waiting on some of the customers.
00:07:13Sure.
00:07:14Giving some of them college boys a treat.
00:07:17Oh, Fred.
00:07:18Shit's a good girl.
00:07:20You can't tell me that foxy niece of yours gets all them tips just for waiting.
00:07:27If you ain't frying steaks, you've got me on the pan.
00:07:30One chicken pie.
00:07:32Nothing in here but the paper came in.
00:07:36Don't get funny.
00:07:37It's in there all right.
00:07:39Well, that's a double now.
00:07:42Oh, must be for one of your fellas.
00:07:45Your thoughts are just like your kitchen.
00:07:48Dirty.
00:07:49Excuse me.
00:07:54Thanks.
00:07:55Don't forget the coffee.
00:07:56Hey, Kent.
00:07:57What do we owe you?
00:07:58Not enough.
00:07:59Oh, yeah?
00:08:00Oh, beautiful.
00:08:01How about a little service for me, baby?
00:08:02Uh-uh.
00:08:03That's the way little boys get hurt.
00:08:05All on one?
00:08:06Yeah.
00:08:07On Toby.
00:08:08Good time, Toby.
00:08:09The payoff guy.
00:08:10Thanks for it.
00:08:11Say, Kent.
00:08:12What are you doing later?
00:08:13Is that a proposition?
00:08:14Sure.
00:08:15Can you read?
00:08:16Ten bits to you.
00:08:17Someday, somebody else will grab the check and you'll die of heart failure.
00:08:23Say, Kent.
00:08:24Won't you go to the show with me tonight?
00:08:25For what?
00:08:26Well, you can't do much with the crowd around.
00:08:27That's why I like crowds.
00:08:28That's why I like crowds.
00:08:29What are you doing here?
00:08:30Is that a proposition?
00:08:31Sure.
00:08:32Can you read?
00:08:33Is that a proposition?
00:08:34Sure.
00:08:35Can you read?
00:08:36Can you read?
00:08:37That's a darn way, boy.
00:08:38Ten bits to you.
00:08:39Someday, somebody else will grab the check and you'll die of heart failure.
00:08:44Say, Kent.
00:08:45Won't you go to the show with me tonight?
00:08:46For what?
00:08:47Well, you can't do much with the crowd around.
00:08:49That's why I like crowds.
00:08:52Take away the chicken pie.
00:08:55But, Kent, there's a lot of things I want to tell you.
00:08:58Only one, Toby, and the answer is no.
00:09:01Don't you know any three-letter words?
00:09:04Nick.
00:09:05Why, you...
00:09:06Hey, Toby, come on.
00:09:07We've got places to go.
00:09:09Come on, cut the romance.
00:09:10Come on, Romeo.
00:09:11Boy, you couldn't lure a woman out of a burning building.
00:09:16Yeah, you guys didn't get over so big.
00:09:18Yeah, which one I want you?
00:09:19Yeah, which one I want you?
00:09:30Nice day, isn't it?
00:09:33No.
00:09:34What's anatomy?
00:09:39The study of the human body.
00:09:41Hmm.
00:09:42All in one volume?
00:09:44Your boyfriends are not satisfied just to read about it.
00:09:47So I notice.
00:09:49I can't blame them.
00:09:51Why not?
00:09:52Well, what you don't ask for, you don't get.
00:09:55That shapes up like a dig.
00:09:57A nasty, filthy dig.
00:09:59You asked for it.
00:10:01Oh, you don't know what you're thinking about.
00:10:03Oh, yes, I do.
00:10:04I've been watching you.
00:10:05And take it from me, those boys wouldn't bother you if you didn't...
00:10:09Go on.
00:10:10I'm used to taking it.
00:10:11No.
00:10:12Let's forget about it.
00:10:13No, go ahead.
00:10:14You've started something.
00:10:15Finish it.
00:10:16All right, I will.
00:10:17A man knows when a woman doesn't want to be bothered.
00:10:20Oh, I see.
00:10:21And I want to be?
00:10:22Yes.
00:10:23Then how come you never annoyed me?
00:10:25Well, I don't like to compete with the whole college.
00:10:28If I owned this joint, I'd bust you in the nose for that.
00:10:31Yes.
00:10:32And if I were your brother instead of a customer here, I'd spank you.
00:10:35I'd like to finish this chapter.
00:10:36Well, go ahead.
00:10:37Finish it someplace else where they burn incense or something.
00:10:40All right, I will.
00:10:41I don't like this place anyhow.
00:10:43You may be hot, but the coffee's cold.
00:10:46Keep the change.
00:10:51Pinhead.
00:10:54Mithrid.
00:10:55Hey, you forgot your hat.
00:11:00Hey, stupid, you forgot your hat.
00:11:13You talk as if you knew a lot about men.
00:11:15Oh, I do.
00:11:16Living in construction camps, you learn early.
00:11:18I could cuss when I was six, and I could say no when I was 14.
00:11:22You must have had a pretty tough time.
00:11:24Oh, no, I ain't kickin'.
00:11:25It was kind of an education.
00:11:27Not much to choose between a camp and a campus.
00:11:31Well, you know, they talk a lot about you around here.
00:11:35Yeah, and I know what they're saying, but they're just taking it out and talk.
00:11:38Oh, I was sure of that.
00:11:41You know, you're really a fine person.
00:11:51Oh.
00:11:52Oh.
00:11:53Well, that's the first time a bad slice ever did me a favor.
00:11:55If we park anyplace else, I'll start a war to break us up.
00:11:58It'd be more privacy on Main Street.
00:12:00I tell you, Judge, something terrible has happened to David. I know it.
00:12:12Why? Because he didn't go to the doctor with you?
00:12:14If you had a son of your own, you might understand my worry.
00:12:17Perhaps.
00:12:18Although taking care of your state gives me worry enough.
00:12:21It's the first time David has ever disappointed me. I'm upset about him.
00:12:25He can't always be tied to your apron strings.
00:12:27And I have to be so careful in my heart acting the way it is.
00:12:30Last night it throbbed violently for hours at a time.
00:12:33Oh, stop it, Helen.
00:12:35You know there's nothing the matter with you.
00:12:37Oh, all right. There's nothing the matter with me.
00:12:40Oh, my soul. Look.
00:12:54Well, here we are. Safe and sweet.
00:12:56A red-letter day for Kitty Lane. Didn't have to walk an inch.
00:13:05David.
00:13:08Hello, Mother.
00:13:10This is Miss, uh, Miss Lane, my mother, and Judge Forbes.
00:13:14Hello. How do you do?
00:13:16How do you do?
00:13:17You had me worried to death, David. I had no idea where you were.
00:13:21I had to go to the doctor alone.
00:13:23Sorry, Mother. I forgot all about it.
00:13:25Well, I guess I'd better be going.
00:13:28Pleased to have met you all.
00:13:30Well, I sure had it twelve times.
00:13:31Well, I'll be seeing you.
00:13:32Bye.
00:13:33David.
00:13:34Oh.
00:13:35David.
00:13:36Oh.
00:13:37Oh.
00:13:38Who is that girl?
00:13:39What difference does it make?
00:13:40Just a girl?
00:13:41That's no answer, David.
00:13:42Now, Mother, don't start fussing right in the middle of Main Street.
00:13:44You had your arm around her.
00:13:45That's been done before.
00:13:46What kind of a girl is she to permit you...
00:13:47I'll tell you all about her but not in front of the whole wide world.
00:13:49Now, let's go home.
00:13:50David, I insist on knowing who that girl is.
00:13:51Oh, I know.
00:13:52Oh.
00:13:53Oh, I know.
00:13:54Oh, I know.
00:13:55I know.
00:13:56Well, I know.
00:13:57I know.
00:13:58Oh, I know.
00:13:59Oh, I know.
00:14:00I know.
00:14:01I know.
00:14:02I know.
00:14:03Well, I know.
00:14:04I know.
00:14:05Well, I know.
00:14:06Well, I know.
00:14:07Well, I know.
00:14:08I know.
00:14:09Well, I know.
00:14:10Well, I know.
00:14:11Let's go home.
00:14:12David, I insist on knowing who that girl is.
00:14:15All right, I'll tell you.
00:14:16She sells hamburgers.
00:14:18A waitress?
00:14:19Yes, a waitress.
00:14:20Oh, oh, my heart.
00:14:23Some water, quickly, please.
00:14:24Campbell, some water for Mother.
00:14:25No, never mind, David.
00:14:27I'm sorry, Mother.
00:14:28I shouldn't have spoken to you like that.
00:14:31David, you mustn't do such things to me when you know how sick I am.
00:14:34Of course, dear.
00:14:35I'm terribly sorry.
00:14:37I'll die if you get involved with a common person like that.
00:14:39You know, I can't stand it.
00:14:41Just don't think about it anymore.
00:14:43David, promise you'll never see her again.
00:14:46Don't you worry, Mother.
00:14:47Everything will be all right.
00:14:50David.
00:14:52Of course, you know about that double-parking, buddy.
00:14:58Okay, that's different.
00:15:00Hiya, Judge.
00:15:09Where are you going?
00:15:29Downtown.
00:15:30Don't be long.
00:15:32Oh, Dot will look after things till I get back.
00:15:34You know, out there she just seems to drive customers away.
00:15:41Oh, Fred.
00:15:42Some men like me.
00:15:43You do.
00:15:46Yeah, I do at that.
00:15:47Well, it's a wonder with that Mother Hubbard you're wearing.
00:15:50Why don't you doll up?
00:15:52Well, do you think I could look beautiful like...
00:15:54Sure, why not?
00:15:55Touch up your hair and get a permanent.
00:15:58Take that tent off.
00:16:00And show your knees.
00:16:02They're not bad, you know.
00:16:03Put them in silk and you'll get by anywhere.
00:16:05What do you think, Fred?
00:16:07She'd better mind her own business.
00:16:09You dress your way and let Dot alone.
00:16:11She's respectable.
00:16:13Respectable?
00:16:13And what do you think I am?
00:16:15Well, I ain't saying.
00:16:16But I got my ideas.
00:16:17Yeah, well, your ideas could stand some fresh air.
00:16:20Yes, six for a dollar, mister.
00:16:35Can we pick any of these we'd like?
00:16:37Sure, they're all the same price.
00:16:39She some prefers the Empire State Limited.
00:16:41There's class to that.
00:16:43Then others go in for over the desert sand.
00:16:47It's more romantic life.
00:16:48Well, what do you say?
00:16:51Over the desert sand.
00:16:52Very good, folks.
00:16:53Step right behind here.
00:16:55Just put your heads through here.
00:16:58There we are.
00:16:59That's fine.
00:17:00Now I'll have a look and see what it looks like.
00:17:04Well, how do you feel?
00:17:05Romantic?
00:17:06I wish it was a real desert, Davy.
00:17:09With all the sheiks hanging around?
00:17:10No.
00:17:11With only one sheik hanging around.
00:17:13If he would.
00:17:15Say, you know, I don't think I look good on a camel.
00:17:18We should have taken Empire State Limited.
00:17:21More class.
00:17:22Oh, well, let's have that, too.
00:17:24Glutton.
00:17:26What's the matter with you?
00:17:28You look as if you wanted to cry.
00:17:29Well, lots of girls want to cry when they have a good time.
00:17:33Just to be contrary?
00:17:35No.
00:17:37Just that they're thinking of when it's going to be all over.
00:17:39Well, why should it be all over, ever?
00:17:42Well, things can't go on.
00:17:43Things?
00:17:44Yeah, like this, like tonight.
00:17:46Like all the nights we've been together.
00:17:48Gee, I wish I knew all the swell words you do, Davy.
00:17:51I could tell you what I mean.
00:17:53I know what you mean, Kitty, and I feel the same way.
00:17:58All right, folks.
00:17:59Now get together.
00:18:01Cuddle up.
00:18:02Don't cost no more.
00:18:03I'll never let you go, sweetheart.
00:18:12Ever.
00:18:15Oh, shucks.
00:18:16You went and moved and spoiled it.
00:18:18What's the matter with you?
00:18:20Let's try it again.
00:18:22It's okay by me.
00:18:28Now smile, lady, and show you dimples.
00:18:30That's it.
00:18:36But I tell you he wants to marry the girl.
00:18:38I won't have it.
00:18:39I simply won't have it.
00:18:41This thing is going to kill me with him.
00:18:42I know it.
00:18:43Now stop it, Helen.
00:18:45Save your theatrics for David.
00:18:47You may need them.
00:18:49What are we going to do?
00:18:50Well, in cases of this kind, one usually reaches for a checkbook.
00:18:54It won't be as simple as that.
00:18:56And it always has been.
00:18:58Suppose she refuses.
00:18:59Women of that sort are very ambitious.
00:19:02Then there'll be plenty of time to think of something else.
00:19:04What else?
00:19:05There's nothing.
00:19:08William.
00:19:09We could have her committed to some institution or something, couldn't we?
00:19:13She's an immoral person, really.
00:19:17Is it your heart or your mind that's affected?
00:19:21It can be done.
00:19:23With your influence.
00:19:25Oh, stop talking nonsense.
00:19:26We won't have to resort to anything so drastic.
00:19:30But I tell you, William, it's the only way.
00:19:33If you had a son, you'd understand.
00:19:34Now, now, now, now, now.
00:19:35Don't get yourself all excited.
00:19:38Remember your heart.
00:19:40Oh.
00:19:43Perhaps if we got him out of the way,
00:19:45is your heart bad enough to consult a specialist in Vienna or Berlin or someplace like that?
00:19:53Come on.
00:19:56Okay.
00:19:57Look howiri does this have been looking for,
00:19:58Mother?
00:19:59Ssh...
00:19:59Mother?
00:20:00Ssh.
00:20:01Ssh...
00:20:02Ssh.
00:20:09How is she?
00:20:09How is she?
00:20:19What's happened?
00:20:21Your mother is a very sick woman, my boy.
00:20:29The doctor was here just a few minutes ago.
00:20:30What did he say?
00:20:32She must leave for Europe immediately.
00:20:34There's a specialist in Vienna that...
00:20:35Well, is she well enough to travel?
00:20:37Well, I suppose so. That is, if she had somebody to take care of her.
00:20:42Dr. Ames recommended a nurse that...
00:20:44Oh, no, no. No, we can't have a nurse.
00:20:46Not in the condition she's in.
00:20:48You know how nurses are. Hard as nails.
00:20:51Yes, that's right. But what are we to do?
00:20:53She really should have somebody that understands her.
00:20:56As a matter of fact, I thought of going myself, but I...
00:20:58I don't see how I can.
00:21:00I have a case coming up the Supreme Court next week.
00:21:04Well, I suppose we'll have to turn her over to a nurse
00:21:06and just hope for the best.
00:21:12I guess I'd better tell Mother I'll go with her.
00:21:15That's mighty decent of you, David.
00:21:17She'll appreciate it.
00:21:19Go in and tell her now.
00:21:21Please don't worry, Mother. You'll get well. I'm going to Europe with you.
00:21:38Darling.
00:21:39Hello, Henry. Where is everybody?
00:21:53Hello, Henry. Where is everybody?
00:21:55Hello, Henry. Where is everybody?
00:21:57Hello, Davy.
00:21:59Well, Fred and Dot went to Morris Town to wedding.
00:22:01Said they'd be back in the morning.
00:22:03See, it's just too bad.
00:22:05I was hired as a night man.
00:22:07Did Kitty go, too?
00:22:09No, she's over at the house.
00:22:11She wasn't even invited.
00:22:13Neither was I.
00:22:15I tell you, Davy, you take my advice.
00:22:17I'll tell you, Davy,
00:22:19you take my advice.
00:22:21I'll tell you, Davy,
00:22:23I'll tell you, Davy, you take my advice, sir.
00:22:41Davy. Hi, Kit. Come on in.
00:22:43Gee, I'm glad to see you.
00:22:45Are you really? Uh-huh.
00:22:47Well, what have you been doing? Oh, nothing much.
00:22:49Well, you've been holding out on me. What's this?
00:22:51Now, you keep away from there.
00:22:53A love letter.
00:22:55Elemarcenary.
00:22:57Elective.
00:22:59Ejaculate.
00:23:01Taking your ease, I see.
00:23:03Well, you're not the only one who has a right to an education.
00:23:05If there's anything that makes me mad,
00:23:07it's have somebody using a word that I don't understand.
00:23:09Well, don't tell me I use that kind of language.
00:23:11No, you don't.
00:23:13But somebody else might.
00:23:15So I decided to memorize the dictionary.
00:23:17Well, it'll take you a lifetime.
00:23:19Oh, no, it won't.
00:23:20Come on, sit down and I'll tell you about it.
00:23:24I've only been at it a week.
00:23:26And I know the A, B, Cs, and Ds by heart.
00:23:28And I'll know the Es by the end of the week.
00:23:30Ask me how to spell Elemarcenary.
00:23:32All right, Mr. Bones, how do you spell Elemarcenary?
00:23:34Uh...
00:23:35Oh, now, wait a minute.
00:23:36Let me see.
00:23:37Oh, E-L-E-E-M-O-S-Y-N-A-R-Y.
00:23:39Is that right?
00:23:40I don't know.
00:23:41You don't?
00:23:42I'm not even sure what it means.
00:23:43Of, pertaining to, dependent on, charity, or on.
00:23:47Swell.
00:23:48Do you know what exquisite means?
00:23:49No, I'm not up to that yet.
00:23:51It means you.
00:23:52You're not only exquisite,
00:23:53but you're not only exquisite,
00:23:55you're not only exquisite,
00:23:56you're not only exquisite,
00:23:57you're not only exquisite,
00:23:59but you're not only exquisite.
00:24:01You're not only exquisite,
00:24:03you're not only exquisite,
00:24:04but a bullion, ecstatic, effervescing...
00:24:06Enough!
00:24:07Embrace?
00:24:08Exactly!
00:24:13Hold me tight, kid.
00:24:15I've got tough news for you.
00:24:17I'm going away.
00:24:20Mother's had a stroke.
00:24:21We've got to take her abroad to a specialist.
00:24:24If it weren't a matter of life and death,
00:24:26I'd let her go alone,
00:24:27but I don't see how I can get out of it.
00:24:30What?
00:24:31What?
00:24:32Well, David, you mustn't even try.
00:24:34You're going too.
00:24:36Me?
00:24:37How?
00:24:38Well, when you're studying the M's
00:24:39in that funny little dictionary,
00:24:41look at the word marriage.
00:24:43What do you say, kid?
00:24:45Oh.
00:24:47Oh, David, give me a chance to get more breath.
00:24:53Have you told your mother?
00:24:55Well...
00:24:56she knows we're going to get married,
00:24:58but she doesn't think it'll be so sudden.
00:25:01She doesn't like me.
00:25:02She's not marrying you.
00:25:03Well, you can't blame her.
00:25:05Maybe if she got to know me better,
00:25:07she wouldn't think I was so bad.
00:25:09But if she's that sick,
00:25:10we mustn't do anything that'll cause her a shock.
00:25:13How long will you be gone, Davey?
00:25:15Oh, about six months, I suppose.
00:25:18Gee, that'll give you a great chance to finish your course
00:25:21at some foreign hospital, won't it?
00:25:23Yeah.
00:25:26But get this through your head.
00:25:28I'm not going anywhere without you.
00:25:30Oh, I'd wait, honey.
00:25:32All my life if I had to.
00:25:34It's sweet of you to think of mother.
00:25:37Maybe we could lope and keep it a secret.
00:25:40Tell her when she gets better.
00:25:42Gee, I haven't even asked you yet.
00:25:44I'm just taking it for granted you want to marry me.
00:25:47You do, don't you?
00:25:54My father's dead, Davey.
00:25:56He died a year ago.
00:25:59I don't even remember my mother.
00:26:02And I...
00:26:04I never had any brothers or sisters.
00:26:07You're all of them now.
00:26:09You're all I've got that means anything.
00:26:13I belong to you, Davey.
00:26:26Where is Miss, uh, Miss Lane?
00:26:29Lane?
00:26:30There ain't no Miss Lane.
00:26:31The young lady who works here.
00:26:33Oh, you mean Kitty.
00:26:34Have you seen Mr. Livingston?
00:26:36Davey?
00:26:38The last time I saw Davey,
00:26:40he said he was going to have breakfast with Kitty.
00:26:42Do you think they might be still eating?
00:26:44You've got me, mister.
00:26:45But if you'll just step this way,
00:26:47I'll show you right where she lives.
00:26:59What a terrible painting.
00:27:03Oh.
00:27:04Oh, is David here?
00:27:21Why, uh, yes.
00:27:24Uh, won't you come in?
00:27:28David!
00:27:29Get out of this place at once.
00:27:31Calm down, Mother.
00:27:32No scenes, please.
00:27:34The limited leaves is at 3 o'clock.
00:27:36I'll be there, but Kitty's coming, too.
00:27:38We're going to be married.
00:27:39Married?
00:27:40Otherwise, I don't go abroad.
00:27:42You might as well make up your mind to that.
00:27:44You don't think I'm going to let you marry this cheap common thing?
00:27:47I'm not cheap.
00:27:47I'm not common.
00:27:48Calling names isn't going to do any good, Mother.
00:27:50You mean to tell me you're going to stand there and defend this girl?
00:27:54I can't let you say that.
00:27:56It's no use arguing anymore.
00:27:58I've made up my mind.
00:27:59Kitty and I are going to be married.
00:28:01Just a moment, Helen.
00:28:02Now, here are two young people in love with each other.
00:28:06Nothing you can do or say will alter that.
00:28:08I know exactly how you feel.
00:28:10The things are shock to you.
00:28:12That's why you've been saying things that you don't mean.
00:28:16Now, perhaps if you and Miss Lane got to know each other better,
00:28:20you'd learn to love her just as much as David does.
00:28:23After all, you've got to be fair about this, Helen.
00:28:31I must have lost my head.
00:28:35Forgive me, dear.
00:28:37I know I said terrible things.
00:28:39I'm sorry.
00:28:40Please try to understand.
00:28:42It's only because I worry so much about David.
00:28:44Sure, I understand.
00:28:45Thanks, Mother.
00:28:48I knew everything was going to be all right.
00:28:51Well, you'd better get started if you're all going to make that train.
00:28:54I've got lots of things to do first.
00:28:56I've got to get a marriage license and find a minister and get a ring.
00:29:00But there's no hurry now, David.
00:29:02Certainly there is.
00:29:03There's so many things to attend to yet.
00:29:05And this is most important.
00:29:07Isn't it, David?
00:29:08You bet.
00:29:09Now, you wait for me, Kit.
00:29:10I won't be long.
00:29:11Thanks, Mr. Forbes.
00:29:16I don't know what would have happened if it hadn't been for you.
00:29:19I'll be back in an hour.
00:29:25Oh, don't you worry, Mrs. Livingston.
00:29:27You're never going to be sorry about this if I have anything to do with it.
00:29:31I'll do everything I can to make Dave happy.
00:29:35And you, too, if you'll only let me.
00:29:38You must forgive me for being a foolish mother.
00:29:40David is the only one I have left in the world.
00:29:44And I'm afraid I'm selfish about him.
00:29:47I, uh, I still have several things to arrange for you before you leave.
00:29:52Oh, yes.
00:29:53We must run along.
00:29:54The luggage must be got off.
00:29:56David never could look after bags.
00:29:58You won't have to look after mine.
00:30:00I'll be ready when he calls.
00:30:02Bye.
00:30:02Bye.
00:30:10Bye.
00:30:10Bye.
00:30:10Bye.
00:30:55This is the young woman.
00:31:02Kitty Land?
00:31:04Yes.
00:31:05You'll have to come with me.
00:31:08Oh, he's joking, ain't he, Mr. Forbes?
00:31:11It's a complaint for violation of the Public Morals Act.
00:31:15Violation?
00:31:18How do you know?
00:31:20I swore out the complaint.
00:31:23Oh, Collins, I'd like a few minutes with this young lady.
00:31:27All right, Judge.
00:31:29Will you step inside, please?
00:31:41Where's Dave?
00:31:43David's at home.
00:31:45You mean something bad.
00:31:47What is it?
00:31:48I've convinced David that temporary unhappiness is better than permanent tragedy.
00:31:54You...
00:31:55You've talked him out of marrying me?
00:31:57Exactly.
00:31:58Why do you want to do this to us?
00:32:00We love each other.
00:32:01Oh, I'm sure you do.
00:32:02Now...
00:32:03We want to get married.
00:32:04Oh, if Davey were only here, I know he'd help me.
00:32:05He can't help you.
00:32:06Nobody can.
00:32:07But yourself.
00:32:08Oh, my dear young lady.
00:32:09It isn't necessary for you to do any acting.
00:32:11I know what it's all about.
00:32:12I've handled cases like this before.
00:32:14I want to see Davey.
00:32:15That's out of the question.
00:32:16I'm sure you do.
00:32:17I'm sure you do.
00:32:18Now...
00:32:19We want to get married.
00:32:20Oh, if Davey were only here, I know he'd help me.
00:32:21He can't help you.
00:32:22Nobody can.
00:32:23But yourself.
00:32:24I can't help you.
00:32:25Oh, my dear young lady.
00:32:27It isn't necessary for you to do any acting.
00:32:30I know what it's all about.
00:32:31I've handled cases like this before.
00:32:34I want to see Davey.
00:32:36That's out of the question.
00:32:38David is leaving for New York with his mother.
00:32:40They're sailing for Europe immediately.
00:32:42However, they have authorized me to act for them.
00:32:48I see.
00:32:49All right, Mr. Forbes.
00:32:51Go ahead.
00:32:52Do your stuff.
00:32:53Please.
00:32:54No heroics.
00:32:55I told Mrs. Livingston and David that it wouldn't be fair to expect you to go without compensation.
00:33:03I thought you'd prefer cash.
00:33:06$5,000.
00:33:08Merely for leaving town immediately.
00:33:16What are you trying to make of me?
00:33:18What you wish I was?
00:33:20Something cheap and common?
00:33:22Something that money can buy?
00:33:24Well, you can't.
00:33:25Nobody can.
00:33:26You and the nice, decent people who send you here are the real cheap ones.
00:33:30Try to put a price on something that there isn't any price for.
00:33:35If that's being decent, I'm glad I'm common.
00:33:37If that's being rich, I'm glad I'm cheap and I'm gonna stay cheap.
00:33:41Because no matter how cheap I am, I'm not for sale.
00:33:50Come on in, copper, and earn your pay.
00:33:51And I know you're not nice.
00:33:52My Dear Lord.
00:33:53Who is your mother?
00:33:54My brother, I've got your money.
00:33:55.
00:33:56What is it?
00:33:57It doesn't sound like a piece.
00:33:58It's a very accurate.
00:33:59It's a very accurate.
00:34:00How is it?
00:34:01I don't have a chance to have a money?
00:34:02I don't have a money.
00:34:03Well, I can give you some money.
00:34:04I don't have a money.
00:34:05I can give you some money.
00:34:06That's just enough money.
00:34:07Go get credit.
00:34:08I don't have a money.
00:34:09there
00:34:28nearly
00:34:30on hold for
00:34:32the waiting for me
00:34:34yeah David
00:34:35sorry to be so late but I had a hard time finding a minister
00:34:38Where's Kitty?
00:34:39Why, she's, uh, where's Kitty?
00:34:43Where is she?
00:34:45She's gone.
00:34:46What?
00:34:47When?
00:34:48What is this?
00:34:49Now, if you listen to me calmly, David, I'll tell you.
00:34:52Go ahead.
00:34:53Gone.
00:34:54For good.
00:34:55For her good and your good.
00:34:57I couldn't let her take advantage of you.
00:34:59What do you mean?
00:35:00What have you done to her?
00:35:01Now, don't get excited.
00:35:03Everything has been settled amicably.
00:35:05Kitty's perfectly satisfied, and she got out of it
00:35:07with $5,000.
00:35:09You lie.
00:35:11Chivalrous, but foolish.
00:35:13He's lying, isn't he?
00:35:15He's lying.
00:35:17Say he's lying.
00:35:18Well, she got the money and gone.
00:35:20That's all I know.
00:35:21She left a message for you.
00:35:23A thanks for the boogie ride.
00:35:31You don't doubt my word now, do you, David?
00:35:34I can hardly believe it.
00:35:37When you get a chance to think it over,
00:35:39you'll realize how lucky you are to get out of it.
00:35:41And you'll thank me.
00:35:43Sure I will.
00:35:44I'll thank you right now.
00:35:46It's my $100.
00:35:58I'll send you a check.
00:35:59You don't.
00:36:00I want it now.
00:36:01I don't trust you.
00:36:02I want it now.
00:36:03I don't trust you.
00:36:05able to follow me.
00:36:06I'm going to see you anyway.
00:36:07And in conclusion, Kitty Lane, it is the duty of this court to protect and help such as you.
00:36:34I therefore commit you to the state home for the regeneration of females for a period of 90 days.
00:36:42I earnestly hope that while there, you will learn the error of your ways.
00:36:52Next case.
00:37:04Oh, say, it'll take you a month to get those bumps off of your knees.
00:37:21How long will it take them to stop hurting?
00:37:23Oh, just as soon as you get a pair of silk stockings on again.
00:37:28Yeah.
00:37:29I guess silk is healing.
00:37:31Yeah.
00:37:36Hey, Lane!
00:37:37Where do you think you are?
00:37:39In a good war?
00:37:44Sitting down, huh?
00:37:45Well, you're not here to sit down.
00:37:47Report to the laundry.
00:37:48That'll keep you awake.
00:37:55Take your bucket.
00:38:00Get back.
00:38:01Scrub your floor.
00:38:02That's all you've got to do.
00:38:12Come on, Lane.
00:38:13Quit bluffing.
00:38:32Much better today.
00:38:33Well, this is better than scrubbing floors, isn't it?
00:38:46Good, clean stock you've come from.
00:38:49You needed strength and you had it.
00:38:51She'll be all right.
00:38:52Her kind pulls through anything.
00:39:03No, no.
00:39:29Good.
00:39:30Goodbye, Lane.
00:39:31Goodbye, ladies. Behave yourself.
00:39:33Bye.
00:39:38My, but you're thin. But sweet life.
00:39:41Well, you don't get fat on what they feed you in there.
00:39:43No hamburgers?
00:39:44I could even eat one of Fred's now.
00:39:47Well, now that you're out, what are you going to do, Kit?
00:39:49Go back to waiting, I guess, till I get on my feet.
00:39:52Oh.
00:39:53That is, if Fred will have me.
00:39:55Well, I sort of suggested it to him the other night.
00:39:58It was awful mean, the things he said.
00:40:01Yeah.
00:40:02I guess a good man like Fred wouldn't want a girl like me around now.
00:40:05Oh, let me help you. You must be weak.
00:40:08No, I'm strong now. I've taken my stock and I'm up again.
00:40:11Well, I know a place where they're taking girls on.
00:40:14A canning factory.
00:40:15I just got out of one.
00:40:17Yes, but you've got to do something.
00:40:19I will. Plenty.
00:40:24Here, Kit. Maybe that'll give you a start.
00:40:26Thanks, darling.
00:40:27Well, there's my car. I can't miss it.
00:40:28I've got to meet Fred.
00:40:29Goodbye.
00:40:30Goodbye.
00:40:31And, Kit, if you need anything, will you let me know?
00:40:33Sure, I will. Thanks.
00:40:57Oh, my. Every time I hear a knock, it reminds me of Fred.
00:40:58That one wasn't heavy enough.
00:40:59Oh, my. Every time I hear a knock, it reminds me of Fred.
00:41:03That one wasn't heavy enough.
00:41:04He's at the stage door and wants to see Miss Lane.
00:41:05Who is it?
00:41:06Oh, it's him.
00:41:07Who?
00:41:08Who is it?
00:41:09Oh, it's him.
00:41:10Who?
00:41:11Him.
00:41:12David.
00:41:13Oh.
00:41:14Oh, my.
00:41:15Oh, my.
00:41:16Every time I hear a knock, it reminds me of Fred.
00:41:17That one wasn't heavy enough.
00:41:18He's at the stage door and wants to see Miss Lane.
00:41:19Who is it?
00:41:20Oh, it's him.
00:41:21Who?
00:41:22Him.
00:41:23David.
00:41:24Oh.
00:41:25Show him in, please.
00:41:26Yes, ma'am.
00:41:27Well, how does he know where to find you?
00:41:28Pretty much like finding Broadway, isn't it?
00:41:29Just turn to the right at the next corner.
00:41:31But, Kit, it's been six years ago.
00:41:33I'm sorry.
00:41:34I'm sorry.
00:41:35I'm sorry.
00:41:36I'm sorry.
00:41:37I'm sorry.
00:41:38I'm sorry.
00:41:39I'm sorry.
00:41:40I'm sorry.
00:41:41I'm sorry.
00:41:42I'm sorry.
00:41:43I'm sorry.
00:41:44I'm sorry.
00:41:45I'm sorry.
00:41:46I'm sorry.
00:41:47I'm sorry.
00:41:48I'm sorry.
00:41:49I'm sorry.
00:41:50But, Kit, it's been six years and you haven't seen him since.
00:41:54No, but I've thought enough about him.
00:41:57I knew someday I'd be square with him for everything.
00:42:01Oh, you ain't gonna hurt him, are you?
00:42:03No.
00:42:04Oh, no.
00:42:05No more than he hurt me.
00:42:12Back here.
00:42:13Oh.
00:42:14Yes, it's me.
00:42:15I'd heard you left Fred.
00:42:17Well, he didn't need me anymore.
00:42:19He's using paper dishes now.
00:42:21You can go in.
00:42:24My favorite ghost walks again.
00:42:26How are you?
00:42:27Flesh and blood, I hope.
00:42:29If I weren't, you'd make me want to be.
00:42:32Oh, you've improved.
00:42:33You pay compliments now instead of insulting.
00:42:36Won't you sit down?
00:42:42You're lovely, Kitty.
00:42:44Gorgeous.
00:42:45Oh.
00:42:46Go on.
00:42:47I adore these evidences of your maturity.
00:42:51You're everything I've heard you were.
00:42:53Well, that covers a lot of territory.
00:42:59It's great to see you successful and famous.
00:43:02It makes me very happy.
00:43:04You haven't done so badly yourself.
00:43:06Successful young surgeon, Dr. Livingston.
00:43:08The post-graduate work in Vienna didn't hurt.
00:43:11People are still impressed with the European label.
00:43:21Is your memory strong enough?
00:43:25Overwhelming.
00:43:26I remember we spoiled the plate before this masterpiece took.
00:43:32Really?
00:43:33How?
00:43:34You haven't forgotten.
00:43:35Apparently I have.
00:43:37What was it?
00:43:38A schoolgirl kiss or something as trivial?
00:43:41Nothing, I suppose.
00:43:43It was a long while ago.
00:43:45Kitty, the curtain's going up.
00:43:47Oh.
00:43:48Kitty, when am I going to see you?
00:43:49I'd rather hoped I could talk to you.
00:43:50I did, too.
00:43:51Are you alone?
00:43:52Yes, I am.
00:43:53Mother's at the hotel.
00:43:54Oh.
00:43:55And how is your mother?
00:43:56Well, she still complains, son.
00:43:57Kitty.
00:43:58I, uh...
00:43:59I rather suppose the European trip would have cured her completely.
00:44:02I'm having some friends to suffer later.
00:44:03If you care to join us.
00:44:04Of course.
00:44:05Where?
00:44:06That'll tell you.
00:44:07No.
00:44:08No.
00:44:09No.
00:44:10No.
00:44:11No.
00:44:12No.
00:44:13No.
00:44:14No.
00:44:15No.
00:44:16No.
00:44:17No.
00:44:18No.
00:44:19No.
00:44:20No.
00:44:21No.
00:44:22No.
00:44:23No.
00:44:24No.
00:44:25No.
00:44:26No.
00:44:27No.
00:44:28No.
00:44:29No.
00:44:30No.
00:44:31You'd better meet me here after the show.
00:44:33I'll be here.
00:44:39Kit!
00:44:40Hurry!
00:44:41Kit!
00:44:42Hurry!
00:44:43Kit!
00:44:44Hurry!
00:44:45Oh, yes.
00:44:54Well, Dave, here's the far we live.
00:44:56It's nice and friends, ain't it?
00:45:01Have Mr. Dean arrived yet?
00:45:03A few moments ago, madame.
00:45:05Mr. Renmore.
00:45:07Thanks.
00:45:09Come along, then.
00:45:11Hello, how are you?
00:45:13Did you like him?
00:45:15Oh, flatter.
00:45:17Anything in French is always flattery.
00:45:19Oh, no, no.
00:45:21Do I exaggerate?
00:45:23Wasn't her performance super?
00:45:25In all these things,
00:45:27I never saw so much artistry,
00:45:29so much, um,
00:45:31what do you call in this country?
00:45:33Sex.
00:45:35In this country, we call sex anything else but...
00:45:37Mr. Livingston, Mr. Dean, Mr. Renmore.
00:45:39Enchanté.
00:45:41When are you coming and do this play for me in Paris?
00:45:43Well, that depends on Mr. Bean.
00:45:45Oh, I'm afraid that's a long way off, Andre.
00:45:47Oh, I will not listen to such an absurd refusal.
00:45:49I wish to talk business.
00:45:51Let's get away from these businessmen.
00:45:53Oh, no.
00:45:55Let's get away from these businessmen.
00:45:57Andre, you make everyone at home for me.
00:45:59I'm gonna gossip old times with an old friend.
00:46:01But if you hide yourself,
00:46:03they never will forgive me.
00:46:05My dear, we saw you the other night
00:46:07and we haven't finished braiding yet.
00:46:10Had a highball?
00:46:11We've stopped counting.
00:46:15How do you like my little cottage?
00:46:17Little?
00:46:19I'd get lost here.
00:46:21I imagine you're lonesome yourself sometimes.
00:46:23Oh, no, I have plenty of company.
00:46:25Men flock around here quite a bit.
00:46:27Well, I can't blame them for that.
00:46:29Although not as much as they might.
00:46:31Wives are so apt to be narrow-minded.
00:46:35Is that what you invited me up here for?
00:46:37To throw this in my face?
00:46:39The best I can do now.
00:46:41I'm sorry I can't show you some of the places I've lived
00:46:43and some of the ways.
00:46:45I could kill you.
00:46:46Oh, no, you couldn't.
00:46:47You did that long ago when I waited for you to come back
00:46:49before they sent me to the reformatory
00:46:51for the crime of trusting you.
00:46:53Well, you can't blame that on me.
00:46:54Judge Forbes told me why you were sad.
00:46:55I can imagine.
00:46:56He said it was a community affair, didn't he?
00:46:58Yes.
00:46:59Well, and you believed him.
00:47:00Well, it doesn't matter.
00:47:01I was too unimportant, too ignorant.
00:47:02Well, I've learned.
00:47:03They've taught me their ABCs in that reformatory.
00:47:05Aren't you proud of your job?
00:47:07But, Kitty...
00:47:08Now get out!
00:47:09Get out!
00:47:32Today's paper.
00:47:33Where is it tomorrow?
00:47:35Lightning fires.
00:47:37You're speaking of France.
00:47:39Over here we use steam heat.
00:47:41And why not France?
00:47:43You'll rest.
00:47:44The South.
00:47:45The Riviera.
00:47:46Then, if you want, I'll give you a play.
00:47:48London.
00:47:49And I promise you will be the toast of Europe.
00:47:51Oui?
00:47:52I can't promise to stay on the front page forever.
00:47:54Oh, then you will go.
00:47:56No?
00:47:58I don't know much about anything just now.
00:48:01I only know I'm tired.
00:48:04But I will see you soon.
00:48:07If nothing bears here.
00:48:09You cannot become an ermit.
00:48:11Perhaps.
00:48:12Goodbye, my friend.
00:48:14What do you wear?
00:48:15Goodbye, my friend.
00:48:16What do you wear?
00:48:17Goodbye, my friend.
00:48:18What do you wear?
00:48:19Well, what are you going to do about it?
00:48:47There's something behind her coming here. I know it.
00:48:49Oh, don't be absurd, Helen.
00:48:51She's an actress. She visits a hundred towns like this.
00:48:54Besides, it's been years. Dave's probably forgotten her.
00:48:58I'm never going to let that woman get another hold on him.
00:49:01I'll do anything to stop her. Anything.
00:49:03Don't be violent, Helen. After all, Dave's got to marry sometime.
00:49:07Not her. Not her.
00:49:13Helen.
00:49:15Have you ever thought of consulting a psychoanalyst?
00:49:18Ridiculous.
00:49:24Why?
00:49:25Oh, sometimes emotions.
00:49:27Mother love, for instance, turn inward.
00:49:30Then they're dangerous.
00:49:32Am I abnormal because I want to protect my son?
00:49:34Good evening, Mother.
00:49:35Oh, good evening, dear.
00:49:36Hello, Judge.
00:49:37Hello, David. How are you?
00:49:38Just fine, thank you.
00:49:40Well, I've got to be running along. Bye-bye, David.
00:49:43Good night, Helen.
00:49:44Good night, Judge.
00:49:45And think over what I said.
00:49:49How do you feel, dear?
00:49:51All right.
00:49:52I'm worried about you, David. You're working too hard.
00:49:55You must play more. Take up golf again.
00:49:58I don't have time to play. I'm too busy being successful.
00:50:03That's what you wanted. I hope you're happy.
00:50:05David.
00:50:07Where's the evening paper?
00:50:08Paper?
00:50:09Why, uh, uh, I don't know. I don't think it was left.
00:50:13It never seems to be here when I want it.
00:50:15Oh, please don't stop to read it now, David.
00:50:18Uh, you've so little time to dress.
00:50:20Dress? For what?
00:50:21With a thorn's dinner at the hotel. You haven't forgotten.
00:50:24I'm not going.
00:50:25Oh, David, you must. We promised.
00:50:28You promised. I didn't.
00:50:31The evening paper, please, Nora.
00:50:33Why, I gave it to you, Mrs. Livingston.
00:50:35Don't you remember, ma'am?
00:50:37And I showed you where Kitty Lane was coming here to visit.
00:50:40To me?
00:50:41Yes, ma'am.
00:50:42Oh, yes. Yes, of course. I'd forgotten all about it.
00:50:46You may go, Nora.
00:50:47Yes, ma'am.
00:50:48Where is it?
00:51:00David, you mustn't take up with that woman again.
00:51:04David, I'm talking to you. Promise me you won't.
00:51:07Will you please let me alone?
00:51:09You fixed this affair once, and you made a good job of it.
00:51:12You have nothing to worry about. I'll go on and get dressed.
00:51:15You'll be late for your dinner.
00:51:16Don't you want to go?
00:51:17No.
00:51:18I've had all your things laid out.
00:51:20Please dress, dear.
00:51:25If they have baked Alaska for dessert again, I'll leave it at somebody.
00:51:29If you had your way, I suppose you'd have apple pie.
00:51:34Well, Kitty Lane remembers me.
00:51:36I knew her when she was waiting at the campus inn.
00:51:38Really? I wonder how it feels to be notorious.
00:51:41Seems like fun to me.
00:51:42The mayor ought to run her out of town.
00:51:44You're absolutely right.
00:51:47I agree with you.
00:51:48How's your gots in, Mrs. Thorne?
00:51:50Oh, just a care.
00:51:51What do you want to get my blood pressure?
00:51:54I think her coming back here is perfectly outrageous.
00:51:59I do, too.
00:52:00I didn't hear about it until today.
00:52:02Didn't you see the morning paper?
00:52:03No.
00:52:04Pardon, Mrs. Thorne.
00:52:05About the dessert.
00:52:06I thought a baked Alaska.
00:52:08I leave that entirely to you, Mr. Murray.
00:52:11You always do things so nicely.
00:52:14Dr. Phillips just told me that Dave did a very brilliant operation on Mrs. Wayne this morning.
00:52:19I love operations.
00:52:20Tell me all about it.
00:52:21Only man in the state that could have done it, Phillips said.
00:52:24Go on, Dave.
00:52:25All the horrible details.
00:52:26I adore them.
00:52:27There's nothing brilliant about it.
00:52:29Just all in the day's work.
00:52:31I wish I weren't so disgustingly healthy.
00:52:34Mr. Murray.
00:52:36Is it true that Kitty Lane is stopping in the hotel?
00:52:40Oh, yes.
00:52:41She's here.
00:52:42She's in the dining room now.
00:52:43Now?
00:52:44Now?
00:52:45Where?
00:52:46Just over your right shoulder.
00:52:47At the single table.
00:52:49What's that?
00:52:50Everything satisfactory?
00:52:51Perfectly, sir.
00:52:52You may bring my coffee.
00:52:53But Madam has scarcely touched anything.
00:52:55Can I suggest something else?
00:52:56No, thank you.
00:52:57I've already had my calorie in the half.
00:52:59Very well.
00:53:00Coffee for the ladies.
00:53:02Do you know who's here?
00:53:04Kitty Lane.
00:53:05Where?
00:53:06Don't look now.
00:53:11But over back of me by the window is Kitty Lane.
00:53:14Oh, really?
00:53:15Oh, is it?
00:53:16What?
00:53:23If the management did the right thing, they'd ask her to leave this hotel.
00:53:26She's not fifth for decent society.
00:53:29What do you mean by decent society?
00:53:31Well, this.
00:53:32David.
00:53:33He's only joking.
00:53:36I'm not.
00:53:37I'm just trying to find out for May what constitutes decent society.
00:53:42Possibly she's heard.
00:53:43This is decent society.
00:53:46So I've always been told.
00:53:48But I found out there's more to being decent than just admitting you are.
00:53:51Why, Dave.
00:53:52Dave.
00:53:53I didn't get shot.
00:53:54Kitty.
00:53:55Kitty.
00:54:16I didn't expect you to come this time.
00:54:21May I sit here? I'm so upset.
00:54:24Oh, do, dear.
00:54:25Does he know her?
00:54:27Uh, why, uh, yes, a long time ago.
00:54:30I think he feels sorry for her.
00:54:32David is so kind-hearted.
00:54:34He always did let his sympathy run away with him.
00:54:37Hadn't you better be getting back to the sewing circle?
00:54:40But I wanted to talk to you, Kitty.
00:54:42Alone somewhere.
00:54:45We're rather under observation.
00:54:48Couldn't we go up to your suite?
00:54:50Go for a ride somewhere?
00:54:52Careful, Dave.
00:54:54I'm a notorious woman, and you'll probably get yourself talked about.
00:55:02Oh, leave it, please.
00:55:04Mr. Livingston will be right back.
00:55:06Oh, I'm sorry.
00:55:07I'm sorry.
00:55:08I'm sorry.
00:55:09I'm sorry.
00:55:10I'm sorry.
00:55:11I'm sorry.
00:55:12I'm sorry.
00:55:13I'm sorry.
00:55:14I'm sorry.
00:55:15I'm sorry.
00:55:16I'm sorry.
00:55:17Mr. Livingston will be right back.
00:55:18Yes, ma'am.
00:55:21David has never happened to me before.
00:55:23My dear, it's all fine.
00:55:24No, but I was.
00:55:37Still willing to risk your reputation?
00:55:39Well, a shred or two, anyway.
00:55:40Don't say I didn't warn you.
00:55:42I, uh, I hope you'll be interested in my collection of etchings.
00:55:50Or whatever it is, they hang on the walls here.
00:55:53Get in, you nut, and stop acting.
00:55:55Hello, Dott.
00:55:56My goodness.
00:55:57You both look so happy.
00:55:58I know something's gonna happen.
00:56:01How do you like my parlor?
00:56:03Well, I've seen better parlors, but never a lovelier spider.
00:56:07Sit down, Mr. Fly.
00:56:09Why, I'd be delighted.
00:56:16Oh, Miss Elaine, what are you doing?
00:56:19That's what I always do to my victims, isn't it?
00:56:24And the walls are soundproof, too.
00:56:27I've lost my voice. I never could yell loud anyhow.
00:56:30You both are crazy.
00:56:32One, two, three.
00:56:40Seven gray hairs.
00:56:42Why, Dave, you're positively middle-aged.
00:56:44Is that why you came home, to check up on me?
00:56:47No, not exactly.
00:56:50Then why did you come, Kitty?
00:56:52Oh, I like cold climates.
00:56:54And the people around here are frigid enough.
00:56:57Stop kidding. Come on, tell me.
00:57:00Well, I was a little curious. Not much. Just a little.
00:57:04And maybe a little homesick, too.
00:57:08And?
00:57:10And I wanted to see if you had nine children and if they looked like you.
00:57:14Me? A bachelor?
00:57:15And if your waistline had grown any bigger and...
00:57:18And if I'd grown up any or was still an immature fool?
00:57:21Oh, well, that depends on who you're a fool about.
00:57:24You see those six gray hairs, Kitty?
00:57:26Uh-uh. Seven.
00:57:28Seven.
00:57:30You know what they mean?
00:57:31Mm-hmm. That your barber doesn't know his job.
00:57:33No.
00:57:34I'm an adult now.
00:57:36Boss of my own affairs.
00:57:38Capable of knowing what I want and getting it.
00:57:41And I want you.
00:57:47Oh, I don't know, Dave.
00:57:49So much has happened.
00:57:51We're not the kids we were and...
00:57:54Our lives have run into very different channels.
00:57:57It would be so hard to join them again.
00:58:00Maybe impossible.
00:58:03Kitty, did you ever spend any money foolishly?
00:58:08Never any other way.
00:58:10Well, I've squandered six years of happiness.
00:58:13And I'm not going to waste any more of it.
00:58:15Oh, it's been a wonderful.
00:58:16It's been a wonderful party.
00:58:17Oh, really?
00:58:18I see.
00:58:19May we drop you, dear?
00:58:20No, thanks.
00:58:21My car's outside.
00:58:22I must find David.
00:58:23I must.
00:58:24Thanks just the same.
00:58:25Good night.
00:58:26Good night, dear.
00:58:27Good night.
00:58:28Good night.
00:58:29Oh, so glad you did.
00:58:30Good night.
00:58:31Good night.
00:58:32Good night.
00:58:33Good night.
00:58:34Good night.
00:58:35Good night.
00:58:36Oh, so glad you did.
00:58:37Good night.
00:58:38Good night.
00:58:39Good night.
00:58:40Good night.
00:58:41You might as well understand definitely.
00:58:42Kitty and I are going to be married.
00:58:44If you want to make a fuss about it, all right.
00:58:46It'll be no good.
00:58:47But think of the talk.
00:58:48The scandal.
00:58:49There won't be any scandal unless you make it.
00:58:51If necessary, I will.
00:58:52Fair enough.
00:58:54David.
00:58:55You must hear me through.
00:58:57I've heard it all a thousand times.
00:59:00I never remarried after your father's death
00:59:02because I wanted to watch over you to bring you up.
00:59:04Well, you did.
00:59:05I'm not going to see my life's workspace spoiled now.
00:59:07That was spoiled a long time ago.
00:59:09I won't let that shop-worn woman fasten herself on you.
00:59:12I warn you.
00:59:13Mother, why won't you look at this thing reasonably?
00:59:16So we can be married nicely from my own home.
00:59:18From my home?
00:59:19From mine.
00:59:21I believe you'd turn your own mother out for that creature.
00:59:24If necessary, yes.
00:59:25David, if you marry that woman, you're no longer my son.
00:59:28I never was your son. I'm just something you owned.
00:59:31You're a selfish woman willing to destroy anything you can't control.
00:59:35Now, I warn you not to try to stop me again.
00:59:37I'm marrying Kitty and we're leaving tonight.
01:00:02I want to see Miss Lane.
01:00:04Well, she's not in. She's...
01:00:07She's got a headache.
01:00:08Oh, dear. She's...
01:00:11Well, tell her Mrs. Livingston is here.
01:00:14Well, that won't do her headache any good.
01:00:17That's all right, Dot. Let her in.
01:00:23Go on with your packing.
01:00:26Guess I'd better hurry, then.
01:00:28The next thing you know, Fred will be calling me.
01:00:30I can hear them dishes rattling for me now.
01:00:38Where is David?
01:00:39He's not here, but he will be.
01:00:41I know pleading with you is useless.
01:00:43I wonder if pleading with you is useless.
01:00:45Can't you let us have our chance?
01:00:47We only want to make a try at happiness.
01:00:49You've had him since he was a baby.
01:00:51He's a man now.
01:00:52That's just it.
01:00:53A man and a doctor.
01:00:55The slightest scandal would kill his practice in a day.
01:00:58If you only loved him the way I do.
01:01:01The way you do?
01:01:02Yes.
01:01:03Enough to make any sacrifice.
01:01:04Enough to do...
01:01:05Enough to marry him.
01:01:06And kill all the decent things in his life.
01:01:08The decent things don't die.
01:01:09Sometimes they're not even born.
01:01:15I have a lot of things to do.
01:01:16Will you excuse me, please?
01:01:18Good night, Mrs. Levington.
01:01:19I warn you.
01:01:20I'll never let you do this.
01:01:21Never.
01:01:22Are you leaving or shall I ring for the house detective?
01:01:23I'll never let you do this.
01:01:24Never.
01:01:25Are you leaving or shall I ring for the house detective?
01:01:26I'll never let you do this.
01:01:27I'll never let you do this.
01:01:30Never.
01:01:31I'll never let you do this.
01:01:32Never.
01:01:33Never.
01:01:34Are you leaving or shall I ring for the house detective?
01:01:36That won't be necessary.
01:01:50Well...
01:01:52That's one way.
01:02:03Well...
01:02:04Which of us were you going to kill?
01:02:06Either.
01:02:07Both.
01:02:08I don't know.
01:02:12Am I that rotten?
01:02:13I wasn't thinking of you.
01:02:15Only of David.
01:02:19If you'd ever seen your own baby grow up.
01:02:22Day by day.
01:02:24Year by year.
01:02:25It's a queer, selfish sort of love.
01:02:28But I'm beginning to understand it.
01:02:31Kitty.
01:02:32Kitty.
01:02:33Kitty.
01:02:43Come in.
01:02:48I couldn't wait for the elevator.
01:02:49I was so anxious to see you.
01:02:50You could have taken your time.
01:02:52Well, that's a nice way to welcome me back.
01:02:55It's no go, Dave.
01:02:56It won't work.
01:02:57Come on.
01:02:58Come on.
01:02:59Look, I'm the only man living who can read a timetable.
01:03:02See, here's our train at 633.
01:03:03The one with the dagger.
01:03:04No, I mean it.
01:03:08What's the matter with you?
01:03:09You don't suppose there's anything in this burg to hold me, do you?
01:03:12Like that sewing circle downstairs.
01:03:14Dear Miss Lane, we'd love to have you dine with us this evening.
01:03:18Yeah.
01:03:19But you said you'd go away with me.
01:03:21You'd marry me.
01:03:22Sure I did.
01:03:23I wanted to show your mother that I could take her precious little darling away from her
01:03:26and then fling you back in her face.
01:03:28Has my mother talked to you?
01:03:29Has she phoned you?
01:03:30Why should she?
01:03:31Well, something must have happened to make you change your mind so quickly.
01:03:35Like every other man.
01:03:37Filled with ego.
01:03:41I want to put in a long distance call, please.
01:03:44You can't imagine a woman looking any further when there's a prize like yourself at hand.
01:03:49Oh, Kate.
01:03:50For Mr. Andre Wormois.
01:03:51R-E-N-O-I-R.
01:03:52Yes.
01:03:53At the Hotel Metropolitan New York.
01:03:55Hurry it, please.
01:03:58You remember Andre, the very charming Frenchman?
01:04:00If you insist on reminding me.
01:04:02He offers me everything.
01:04:03Big cities, important men, distinction, marriage, if I wanted.
01:04:06You're not much for marriage.
01:04:07And what do you offer me?
01:04:08A bickering little town.
01:04:09A man tied to his mother's apron strings.
01:04:11You must think I'm the biggest fool that ever was born.
01:04:14No, you couldn't be.
01:04:15I'm that fool.
01:04:17If you wanted to get even with me, Kitty, you certainly made a good job of it.
01:04:20I congratulate you.
01:04:21David.
01:04:26David, don't you see?
01:04:27She's sending you away because I begged her to.
01:04:30I've been such a selfish old woman.
01:04:32She's finer than anyone I've ever known.
01:04:35Go back to her, David.
01:04:37Oh, dear me.
01:04:38Stop crying.
01:04:39I never heard of her.
01:04:40I've never heard of her.
01:04:41I've never heard of her.
01:04:42I've never heard of her.
01:04:43I've never heard of her.
01:04:44I've never heard of her crying.
01:04:45You're trying to cry to me.
01:04:46Stop crying.
01:04:47I never heard of her cry before.
01:04:48Oh.
01:04:53Hey.
01:04:54Would you let me get even now?
01:05:01That's the stuff.
01:05:03We'll take the bumps together from now on.
01:05:08You'll have to take them for both of us, Davey.
01:05:12Always.
01:05:16Oh, dear me.
01:05:18Hello?
01:05:20Oh, hello, Andre. I can hear you so plain.
01:05:23Oh, no, I'm afraid not.
01:05:26Well, she's rehearsing.
01:05:29Well, she's rehearsing for our marriage.
01:05:41But that's my passion to do what I call her.
01:05:45And that gives me hope to be so plain.
01:05:48I can do it twice.
01:05:49I have no idea.
01:05:51I have no idea.
01:05:54I have no idea.
01:05:56I have no idea.
01:05:58I have no idea.
01:06:00I can't do it once.
01:06:02I love you so plain.
01:06:04I love you.
01:06:06So many beautiful things we've heard
