Police?

You could put him where he belongs::

behind the bars.

Say.Just a minute.

If I-- If I go to the police,

it'll get in the papers, won't it?

Probably.

Well, that's something

I don't want any part of.

Ah, but, Mr. Taylor--

I can't afford to have this item

get back to America.

And I-- I can't afford to

let it be known

that I had it stopped.

Well, I'm sorry.

It's always the same old thing.

Every time we get something

on this fellow that could send him to jail,

the victim is unwilling

to prosecute.

I'd like to help you out,

but-- but I can't.

I suppose not.

Well, I'm sorry

I wasted your time,

Mr. Taylor.

I'll say good day.

Good-bye.

Oh. Oh,just a minute.

Uh, wait a minute.

How would I go about

getting this fella

not to print this little item?

Well, I don't know.

I don't suppose

it would be very difficult.

You think not?

It would be worth something

to me not to have it appear.

Say, I wonder if

you'd do me a favor?

Most certainly. If I can.

How about, uh,

you seeing this fellow for me?

My seeing him?

Yes. He'd probably listen to you,

where he wouldn't to me.

Chances are he'd

try to hold me up for more.

Of course, uh, I'd be prepared

to pay something for it.

Pay him, of course.

Oh. Oh. I didn't mean, uh--

Say, you'd be doing me

an awful service

if you'd help me out on this.

Well, I'll certainly be glad

to do anything I can.

Ah.

Suppose a couple of thousand? Uh--

Wait a minute.

Comment?

Don't pull up your flag.

Comment?

Why do I always

have to get chauffeurs

who don't speak English?

There.

Now maybe he'll get the idea

I want him to wait.

Don't you want to

come in a minute, Frank?

Not a chance. If I'm going to get back here

and take you to dinner by 7:00

and then catch that train for London,

I've got to get home and pack

and send a couple of wires.

There it goes again.

There what goes again?

Business.

Oh, Mary.

I know you have to go, Frank,

but it's that kind of thing

that keeps me from

making up my mind.

I don't want to-- to get engaged

to a man who thinks of nothing

but business all the time.

Oh, Mary, if you'd only say

you'll marry me,

I'd cut out business--

if you wanted me to.

That's just it.

I don't want you to stop doing

the things you want to do,

just on account of me.

What do you want me to do?

I wish I knew.

I was only fooling, Frank.

I'm not really mad.

I wish you'd blow a whistle

from now on when you're fooling.

I never can tell.

I never want you to be able to tell.

We seem to be causing a traffic jam.

They can work up a tra-- traffic jam

in this town with just one car.

7:
00. Don't forget.

I won't.

The Hotel Henri Quatre.
