with Lana Turner
that we worked out.
Tomorrow night?
Very good.
Why don't we make it every night?
The three of us,
unless we've got something better to do.
Fine, that's a good idea.
- I think I'll roll along with you.
- Splendid.
Maybe Lana can dig up
Rita Hayworth for you.
Well, what about me?
Do you think it quite safe
to leave me alone
in this somewhat rebellious state of mind?
No, no. You'll be all right, I'm sure.
Just you run along to bed like
a good fellow and forget the whole matter.
He's much too old for the sort of thing
we have in mind, isn't he?
Now, be good.
- Dick, I really would like...
- Oh, stop worrying.

You know, that's exactly my complaint.

Yes, sir.
Sometimes I'm inclined
to lose track of time.
I'll remind you, sir.
Thank you, sir.
COLLINS:
It's 10:30, Professor Wanley.
It's 10:
30, sir.
Would you mind
putting it back in the library?
- Yes, sir.
- Thank you.
My hat, please.
I... I couldn't have drunk that much.
You did pose for it, didn't you?
Well, then my admiration
for the artist is definite.
It's not only a good painting, it's also you.
You know that so quickly?
I don't know it. I only know that if
