Wait a minute. I'll be right out.
Well, I'm not expecting anybody.
You look great, [Name]. When did you get back?
Wait a minute. We haven't seen you for two weeks.
I've got to go. [He/She/They] waiting for me.
Well, [he/she/they] are not exactly my [husband/wife/partner] yet, but it's gonna be. It's all arranged.
Take it easy now. Everything is going to be all right.
That's it. You tell me all about it, from the beginning.
Why do you want to marry [him/her/them]?
Why didn't you say so in the first place?
I didn't think they came that way anymore.
Do? I don't know. What do most people do?
Sure. They wants me, they wants the life I want, the home I want, the fun I want.
Didn't you find out anything about them?
You know me, when things get tough, when I feel a worry coming on, you know what I do? Cry about it.
I just said "Judas." It didn't mean anything.
Did I get home all right last night?
How did I get this bump on my forehead?
[Name], seriously, what is all this?
You stop criticizing this house or I'll send for the bouncer.
Do you want to know what happened?
Well, we aren't exactly poor. But we aren't rich.
Would it have made any difference?
I'd have asked you to marry me in two days instead of ten.
"It"? Money? Why, is it so sacred?
If I suddenly discovered you could play piano, I'd be delighted, wouldn't I?
You mean having money is like knowing how to play the piano?
If I'm gonna get stuck with a rich person, I'll grit my teeth, make the best of it.
Cheer up, it's not all that serious.
Father is a wonderful man, but he has to be handled just right.
What if I crawled in on my hands and knees? Would he like that?
I can't see what particular fun a secret would be.
It's getting pretty complicated, isn't it?
Well, you didn't think it would be simple, did you?
Oh, well, I just hate the thought of sitting down and being practical about you.
I love you, [name], that's the main thing, isn't it?
Who's your partner? Anyone I know?
How did you happen to get together?
I know a good thing when I see it.
Well, I hope you realize what you're getting yourself in for.
I must admit I didn't know I was marrying into a house with an elevator.
Of course you've heard about me. I'm the black sheep.
This is quite different from the rest of the house, I mean.
Who's the musician in the family?
I think I saw [him/her/them] this morning when I first arrived.
What do you mean, "could have been"?
Stop it. I'll start jittering.
I suppose you realize you're a rather strange bird in these parts?
Do you want to know something? That was the first holiday I ever had.
What did you try to do after you discovered you couldn't paint?
How was I to know that Father was on the board of directors of the company?
You mean with this million-dollar museum? All those marble pillars down there?
Maybe what you need is some time out from what you've been doing.
I don't call what I've been doing living.
I want to find out why I'm working. The answer can't be just to pay bills or to pile up more money.
I want to know how I stand, where I fit into the picture, what it's all going to mean to me.
I can't find that out sitting behind some desk in an office!
I want to save part of my life for myself.
Come back and work when I know what I'm working for.
Who took the bottle of scotch out of my closet?
Congratulations. This place gives me the creeps.
I feel like a goat being prepared for the sacrifice.
How are you socially? You must know some prominent people?
I thought I'd die laughing.
As long as you don't stand up in front of Father and do a back flip-flop.
You're not supposed to have arrived yet.
Now, look, this is getting very complicated, if you ask me.
I'm being married for my money.
Well, anyway, if it does go through all right, when are you going to announce it?
[Name], let's have some fun in this house before you leave it.
Now, no one must touch my party but me, do you hear?
I've got to get out, quit, change on it somehow or I'll go mad.
I could curl up and die right now.
But we mustn't rush into things, must we?
I'm sure I couldn't stand a long engagement.
Have you the financial section of the Times, [Name]?
But there's nothing for me to do after 3:00.
Wouldn't you like me to hide under the sofa and take shorthand notes?
You will all excuse yourselves on one pretext or another.
Hope I'm not late. I got caught in a traffic jam.
I believe you had something you wanted to do, [name]?
We seem to be enjoying quite an unusual freedom from snow this winter.
I haven't been there in some years, and, well, I wouldn't know them anyway.
Is there anything else you'd like to know about me?
Well, "yes" would be pleasant.
The only difficulty about that is the time.
I'll give you every opportunity you will permit me.
Well, I'll see whether I can rearrange my engagements.
I'm quite decent and fairly civilized, and I love your [daughter/son/child] very much, which isn't a bit hard.
I thought you might like some hot chocolate.
There's a strange new spirit at work in the world today, a spirit of revolt.
I've never denied you anything that was in my power to give.
I think by now, you and I know how to take care of those ideas.
Oh, [Name], aren't you proud of yourself?
Don't forget I'm to give the party to announce the engagement.
You've won [his/her/their] heart completely.
No, no, no. Don't worry, darling. We understand perfectly.
Don't worry, you just leave everything to us, will you?
I merely married into the family.
It's a great privilege to meet them, don't you think?
Between you and I, you've managed to change this funny little shindig into a first-class funeral.
I shall drink as much as I like at any party I agree to attend.
It's my protection against your tiresome friends.
Well, it's getting near the New Year.
A very natural mistake, as a matter of fact.
Good heavens, we're ruined.
Now, courage, dear. Courage, courage.
This reminds me a little of the palace of the Emperor Caligula.
They won't let you go to the party, is that it?
I thought you might want a little cheering up.
We've come to warn his future bride about him.
What do you mean, "[Name]'s doing all right"?
God, are there important people downstairs?
Believe it or not, I've just been learning how much it costs to keep up a yacht.
I'll do whatever a gentleman can do under the circumstances.
It's the first champagne I've had since I was four years old.
You mind if I play with some of your toys?
Look what I've found. Come on, let's do Romeo and Juliet.
Why, you don't tell me. What seems to be the matter?
Everybody has begun to notice that you're not there, and it's embarrassing the family.
You treat important persons with respect.
It's the voice of experience.
Well, now that you've got that off my mind.
I don't know what it is, but I know they'll do it.
I've never been up here before. It's awfully quaint, isn't it?
Are you aware that there's another party going on in this house?
You might have let us in the family in on it.
It wouldn't take that long if we had the right kind of government.
Let's all go downstairs and celebrate.
If you ask me, it's one of the worst cases of downright rudeness I've ever seen.
I am not much of a speech maker, so I hardly know how to thank you.
We want the entire party together to see the New Year in.
You're not getting very much, but I'm sure you can improve.
I don't know what precisely, and I don't know how, something's trying to take it away from me, and I can't let it go.
This room's my home. It's the only home I've got.
There's something here that I understand and that understands me.
You thought I'd come around, didn't you? You always think people will come around.
If there's one thing you hate, it's a scene.
[Name], if you're not happy here, why don't you go away?
You distress me. You cause nothing but trouble and upsets.
I can't stand it here any longer. It's doing terrible things to me.
I'm afraid I'm not quite as anxious as I might be for the things that most people work towards.
I don't want too much money. More than I need to live by.
Please don't make me feel guilty about it.
I've got a feeling if I let this chance go by, there'll never be another for me.
You knew all that talk would antagonize [him/her/them].
You'll love it. I know you will.
There's no such thrill in the world as making money to get by.
Try a little blind faith for a while, won't you?
[Name], wait till next year or two years and we'll think about it again.
You wouldn't care to step into a waltz as the old year dies, would you, [name]?
They won't let you have any fun, and they won't give me time to think.
You know where you want to go, don't you?
All my fuss and fury over anything as unimportant as this party.
You see, you think clear as crystal, but every move, every sentence is a problem.
Where does everybody end up?
Say, what is this? Where's the lucky person?
We pay our bills, mind you.
She ought to know by now that men like [name] don't grow on every bush.
Oh, you don't know how a person in love feels.
Even if I told you what was the matter with you, you wouldn't admit it.
If you did anything else than what you're doing, you wouldn't be what you are.
I love you, in rough, uncouth way, of course.
You seem to be taking my little difficulty more seriously than I am.
Why do you want to shut me out in the cold like this?
You've always been the stronger character, haven't you?
You've made the decisions, you've always had the ideas.
What do you want, just security?
One thing I don't want is to start this endless, aimless discussion all over again.
Hasn't [he/she/they] a right to live part of the life as [he/she/they] wants to?
You think [name] will come around, don't you? Compromise anyway.
You remember what we talked about New Year's Eve?
I feel alive and I love it.
Because it seems so hopeless, is that it?
You could charm a bird off a tree if you would.
After all, a couple of years isn't a lifetime, is it?
I don't think it matters a bit what I think.
When two people love each other as much as you do, anything that keeps them apart must be wrong.
For love, true love, is a very rare and beautiful thing.
Would you like me to lie to you?
I doubt if by that time there'll be reason for any.
Now the sun shines once more, and we're all friends again, yes?
It's wise to arrange even honeymoons a bit in advance.
There's no harm in combining a little business with pleasure, is there?
My hard old heart may soften.
Would you mind telling me what you mean?
We've got to make our own life. There's nothing to it if we don't.
Let's get married tonight.
Answer me! Do you or do you not?
It's written all over you. You're relieved [he/she/they] are gone, relieved.
I think everything is going to be all right. In fact, I know it is.
