myself, Miss Valerie.
And if I do say so it's
what I call lush.
Your fianc may have fallen in love
with you for your singing voice...
or your kindness to dogs but when he
sees you come down the aisle in that,
he'll know you've got sex appeal too.
All right Bruno, if you guarantee that,
I'll take it.
- How do you like it Joan?
- That depends on the price.
How much do you dare ask
for that Bruno?
Why don't you let your father worry
about that, Miss Joan?
- Don't think I'm not worrying.
- But I only get married once Dad.
- At least in all the trappings.
- Thank goodness,
if you have another wedding.
you'll have to do it on alimony.
You should feel the material
of that model, Miss Valerie.
I literally tingle when I touch it.
I'll find out in just one moment,
Miss Joan.
Now remember, Joan, there's $5.000
for you two girls to get married on.
And I don't intend that you let Valerie
get more than her share.
Oh, It'll be alright.
If I ever get married...
it'll probably be at the City Hall
in a pair of slacks and a turtleneck.
Oh, no you won't.
I'm not that broke.
Oh, I didn't mean it that way, dear.
I know you didn't.
Maybe if I'd done things
a little differently.
Now, darling, everybody's
broke these days.
And if they're not, they pretend to be.
Val and I don't mind a bit.
How can you lie like that
and look so lovely?
Where is Val?
She'll buy out this confounded place
if you don't watch her.
What's that she's trying on now?
Here's the statement, Miss Valerie.
Nine dresses, eight sets of underwear,
three wraps,
seven hats, stockings and everything,
$3.088.
Oh, dear! Now we'll have
to give up something.
Can't you come down some, Bruno?
Well, I have cut the price
on nearly everything, Miss Valerie.
have what I wanted.
It's alright, Bruno, she'll take them.
We'll come in for our fittings tomorrow...
then the bridesmaids can come in
for theirs on Friday.
Look, Joan, only $600.
I've got to have it!
Not a chance, my child.
Oh, you're way over as it is, Valerie.
Why don't you let me have my way
with you this spring, Miss Joan?
That's right, Joan, why not let
Bruno do you something, something snappy?
Yes, let me make you something
really exciting.
Get all your men friends taking notice.
Something to bring out
the worst in them, I suppose.
Exactly, you'd be surprised
how it would lift your morale.
I'll probably be doing your trousseau
before long.
I hope so. A few more years
and I'll have to advertise. Goodbye.
- Goodbye.
- Goodbye, Bruno.
- Goodbye, Miss Valerie.
- Goodbye, Bruno.
Oh, Bruno!
Thank goodness she'll soon be
safely married.
- Don't you wish I would be too?
- Only if you'd be happy, my dear.
You've never been the worry
and responsibility Valerie has.
You're the steady dependable one.
I wouldn't count on that
anymore, darling.
I'm thinking of going frivolous
on you any minute.
- Where's the car, Dad?
- Right out in front.
- Hello, Joan.
- Hello there!
More trousseau? Naughty girl.
Goodbye.
- Well, what's the hurry?
- Oh, hello, Mr. Fletcher.
- Oh, hello, John.
- Thought you were playing polo.
- Yes, so did I.
But once a year I have to take an interest
in the shipping business
and today was the day.
- How are you, Fletcher?
- How do you do, Colonel?
Did your father hear me prowling around
your kitchen at 2 o'clock this morning?
I don't think so but if he did, he probably
thought it was just burglars.
Hey, big boy! What do you think,
you own the street or something?
Oh, goodbye, Father is
obstructing traffic.
You haven't forgotten I'm coming
again tonight.
No. You better make it 7 o'clock
if we're going to the theater.
I'll be there.
Since when have you and John Fletcher
got so chummy?
Since last night. He brought me home
from Eleanor Weston's.
- We're dining together tonight.
- What's this, Joan?
You running out with a Bay boy
of the West two nights in succession?
Uh-huh, and if I'm good
as I think I am,
it'll be several more nights
in succession.
- What about her?
- Isn't John Fletcher her private preserve?
He isn't married to her, is he?
He isn't married to anyone and never
will be if he can help it.
That boy is fast on his feet when it comes
to avoiding the minister.
- They all slip some time.
- You've got your eye on him, Joanie?
Well, he seems to be favoring me
with a little flicker of interest.
And I've been told that the Lord helps
those who help themselves.
But he's such a lazy beggar.
Look how he's neglected the...
the shipping business his father left him.
Five years ago the Fletcher Line
was famous, now what is it?
And all because he'd rather
play polo than work.
You give me an idea, Father.
From Monica's little boyfriend?
Uh-huh, from Monica's little boyfriend.
You're not in love with John Fletcher,
are you, Joan?
- No.
- Is he in love with you?
- No.
- Meaning none of my darn business.
- Oh, not at all.
- What's it all about then?
Simple, I just made up my mind
Marry? Why, my poor deluded sister.
You're going to find out he has
something definite in mind too.
- And it isn't marriage.
- I've found that out already.
Joan, and you go on seeing him?
Certainly. And one of these fine nights...
