I mean, she'd be there ...
asking me where I've been ...
talking to me ... talking.
I wouldn't be able to bear it.
Well, it was only a suggestion, sir.
But the alternatives ...
are very limited and
unspeakably depressing, sir.
If you do not commit suicide,
sir, you will be poor.
Poor?
Poor in the only real
sense of the word, sir ...
in that you will not be rich.
You will have a little left
if you sold everything but ...
in a country where
every man is what he has ...
he who has very little is nobody very much.
There's no such thing as
genteel poverty here, sir.
How much time do you think I have
before it comes out, Harold?
Hardly any, sir.
You've already received
from both Con Edison and the
Bell Telephone Company, sir.
At any moment the lights may go out and
the telephone go dead.
And when that happens,
the worst will occur, sir...
your credit rating will be impudent.
My Emeralda Peat.
Thank you.
Oh, do it, sir. Do it, get married, sir.
Take the plunge.
Find a nice suitable young woman, sir.
Borrow enough money from your uncle
to keep up appearances.
Don't become poor, Henry Graham, sir.
Not just for your sake but ...
this is difficult for me to say, sir,
but for mine as well ...
I mean, how many men these days require
the services of a gentleman's gentleman?
How many men have
your devotion to form, sir?
You have managed in
your own lifetime, Mr Graham ...
to keep alive traditions that were dead
before you were born.
Don't give up the fight, sir ...
just because the Philistines are upon thee.
I now respectfully give
two weeks' notice, sir.
Will that be all?
- Yes.
- Thank you, sir.
No, no. Can't. Can't.
Better death or murder.
That's a good idea. Harold!
Harold, that was a good idea.
I'm going to do it, Harold.
I'm going to find a suitable woman
and mur-, er, marry her.
Oh, I'm so glad, sir.
- Shall I dial your uncle for you?
- Yes, please, Harold.
I hope I don't have to grovel too much.
Can I take it your answer is no?
Yes. It's no. You've been an ass, Henry.
Just as your father was an ass, but you
mustn't take that to mean it runs in the family.
Lend you $50,000.
Oh God, what a witty thing to say!
Don't think of it as a loan
but as an investment ...
to be repaid in six weeks
with interest of 10%.
No.
Why not? It's a better return
than you get on any stock.
But you are not a stock, Henry.
You are an aging youth, with no prospect ...
no skills, no character.
What could you possibly do in six weeks ...
that would enable you to repay me?
Get married.
Get what?
Get married.
Get married?
Yes. Get married.
To whom?
