No, I ain't.

Don't you ever accuse me of that.

All right.

But one thing, don't go out filling your

hide with booze, celebrating...

'cause fun what's got that way

never done no one no good.

Get me?

I got you.

You're a pretty good kid.

You're darn right I am. You should have

caught me before my operation.

- Hello, Phroso.

- Well, well, well.

- Tomorrow night's the big night, Daisy?

- Yes, the sister's getting married.

- And I'm thrilled to death.

- She thrills at anything.

- Roscoe's a good kid.

- She's only joking.

She'll like him lots

after she knows him better.

That reminds me.

Close your eyes, Violet.

Go ahead, close them.

- What did I do?

- Pinched Daisy's arm.

What do you know about that?

Her master's voice is calling.

Getting fresh?

I don't like it one...

Come on, you'll have to hurry.

We haven't much time.

So you were flirting

with that cheap clown, were you?

- No, I wasn't.

- He was doing a trick with me.

You shut up.

I'm marrying your sister, not you.

- I saw him getting familiar with you.

- Come on, Daisy.

No, you don't.

She's going to stay right here.

No, she isn't. I got to go.

You're always using that for an...

For an alibi.

Where are you going?

You don't look at others so much, do you?

Yes, I have seen you.

So that's how it is.

You got to be caught.

Well?

Come on in.

Help yourself to a drink.

That is fine.

Feel like eating something?

Always.

Prosit.

How many?

I'm not very hungry. About six.

How do you like them?

Not bad.

But you are strong.

You are squeezing me to death.

And you'll like it.

You are taking my breath away.

You...

Now, here's something for your eye.

But, Hans, my Liebchen,

you have not been listening...

to a word I have been saying.

- Hans.

- Yes, Frieda?

- You have not been listening to me.

- Yes, I have, Frieda. I have.

Then what was I saying?

You were saying... What were you saying?

I was saying, tonight

you must not smoke such a big cigar.

Your voice was very bad

at tonight's show.

Please, Frieda, don't tell me what I do.

When I want a cigar, I smoke a cigar.

I want no orders from a woman.

This is the first time

since we have been engaged...

you have spoken to me so.

Why is it?

Friedchen, I'm sorry. I...

- Here's our coffee.

- There it is.

- Five lumps of sugar in each.

- What? Five lumps?

The little ape sent to Paris for this?

Yes, Paris. We're doing very well.

But I don't like fruit.

You should eat a lot. It's good for you.

Next time, I tell him I like champagne.

- Who is it?

- It's Hans.

- Who?

- It's Hans.

My darling, your basket of fruit was lovely.

But I am... taking a bath now.

- Can't you come back later?
