- Where are you going?

- I gotta get my bag, don't I?

Well, I'm all packed. Why don't you

take your hat off, make yourself cosy?

Hey, you're scared to death.

- Yes, I am.

- What for?

I'll tell you what. Why don't I go out

and get a couple of bottles of beer?

We'll play the graphophone, make you

feel better, huh? What do you say?

All right. I'm going.

I just thought I'd take a later train,

that's all.

No, I'm off.

Goodnight.

Take care of yourself.

- Goodnight, Hurstwood.

- Goodnight, Judge.

Mr Hurstwood.

Good evening.

I wanna thank you

for that bottle of wine you sent over.

- Did you enjoy it?

- Yes, very much.

- Did the young lady enjoy it?

- It was a brand-new experience for her.

- Leaving town?

- No.

I'm just checking into the lmperial

for a night or two.

Maybe three.

Care to join me in a nightcap?

I'm leaving now. Some other time.

Sure. Well? Drinks for the house.

On me.

Hello.

Where do you live?

Oh, there.

Would you like an apple?

No?

What's your name?

Haven't you got a name?

Well, what is it?

I'm not supposed to talk to you.

Well.

Sharp as a razor.

If I thought I could swing it,

I'd raise a moustache.

How'd you like me

with a moustache, Carrie?

What's the matter?

- When are you going to marry me?

- When am I...?

Well, any time, any time at all.

You know that.

People in the house...

Everybody, they know.

They talk about me.

Well, I won't stand for that.

- No, sir, we'll put a stop to that.

- When?

When? That's a question.

That's what we gotta settle is when.

Well, we can't get married today,

can we?

And we can't get married tomorrow,

it's Saturday.

I don't think next week.

I leave town on Thursday.

When I get back. What do you say?

I'm going home to Minnie's. I'll tell her...

I don't know what.

But if you really wanna marry me,

you come there for me,

just like I was home with the family.

Carrie, that's silly.

Things are gonna straighten out.

You just wait, you'll see. Everything's

gonna be just the way you want it.

- I'll bring you a present.

- I won't be here.

I'll bring it anyway.

Come on, boy, here we go. Come on.

That's the boy. Come on. Excuse me.

Oh, Mr Hurstwood.

Hello. Good to see you again.

Oh, hello, Mr Drouet.

What do you think of the wolf?

Brand new.

- I just named him Columbia.

- Hail, Columbia.

That's pretty good.

It's for Columbia City, Missouri.

- That's where Carrie came from.

- Carrie?

The girl that I brought in to dinner.

Remember?

- The girl who came in the wrong door.

- You should see her now.

- Are you going any place?

- No, just walking.

I live right here. Come up for a drink.

Well, I...

Come on.

She'll be delighted to see you.

Theodore Herman Albert Dreiser (; August 27, 1871 – December 28, 1945) was an American novelist and journalist of the naturalist school. His novels often featured main characters who succeeded at their objectives despite a lack of a firm moral code, and literary situations that more closely resemble studies of nature than tales of choice and agency. Dreiser's best known novels include Sister Carrie (1900) and An American Tragedy (1925). more…
