Dodsworth Page #2

I don't know whether this is going

to make going away harder or easier.

A little of both.

Don't see why

we don't rate a honeymoon.

Wait till you have a honeymoon

All visitors ashore, please.

All ashore that's going ashore.

We just got here!

- I saw them. They're right near the top.

- Hey, Emily!

- There they are.

- Oh, yes! I see.

Bye!

- Fran? Fran! We're at sea!

- At sea? That's putting it mildly.

Forget this trunk.

Come on out and see the ship.

- You sound happy. I'm so glad.

- This is the happiest day of my life!

Of course, except

the day I married you.

Get off my dress.

Do you realize this is the first time

we've started out together as lovers?

- I was right, wasn't I?

- Yeah, no more work.

- Now we'll live.

- Together.

- Always.

- Let's look at the ship.

I can't. I got to dress

for dinner and so have you.

- We have to dress for dinner?

- Of course. Don't you want to?

Well, okay.

Remember the first time I asked you

to marry me and we said we'd come here?

And here we are.

I love you more than ever now that

I've got time for it.

And I love you, Sammy.

- Looks like I made a slight error.

- That's all right, sir.

Dry martini, please.

- Mr. Dodsworth?

- Yes.

I heard you were on board. I hope

you don't mind me introducing myself.

Not at all.

I've just been driving one of your cars

all through South America.

- How'd it stand up?

- Tough as nails.

Good.

- My name's Lockert.

- Good to know you.

- Join me in a drink?

- Thank you very much.

- What'll you have?

- Dry martini.

- Make it two, please.

- All right, sir.

I'm waiting for my wife.

- I hope I'm not intruding.

- Not at all. Here she comes now.

- Dear.

- Hello, darling.

I want you to meet Mr. Lockert.

Mrs. Dodsworth.

- Captain Lockert.

- How do you do?

- How do you do?

- Shall we have a drink at the table?

- Serve them over here, please.

- All right, sir.

You see, darling, we didn't have

to dress for dinner the first night out.

Of course, we can't be expected to know

all the tricks the first trip over.

It's not my first trip over,

Sammy dear.

That's right. Mrs. Dodsworth went

to school in Switzerland one summer.

I can't see it's ever bad form

to dress for dinner.

I'm sure that anything

that permits a woman...

to look as lovely as Mrs. Dodsworth

is looking could never be bad form.

- Very good.

- This is just a simple dinner frock.

- Will you have this?

- Thank you very much.

- Another martini, please.

- Yes, sir.

- New York, and now I'm back to London.

- Really?

- How long will you be in England?

- We haven't made plans beyond London.

There aren't too many Americans...

Look at those two women.
