(0.00 / 0 votes)Cas, darling.
Oh, Madge. Madge.
- Darling, what's the matter?
- Madge.
What is it, sweetie?
Never let me
out of your sight again, please.
Darling, of course not.
And never, never, never mention
New York to me again
as long as I live.
Never. Never, never!
And in the third place, I have just
about reached the end of my patience.
This happens to be my home,
as little as a stranger might suspect it,
and it is intolerable that I should be
continually called on to defend myself
against an apparently endless series
of irresponsible and vulgar accusations.
And now,
I'm afraid I must ask you to leave.
- But, Grandpa...
- And if I hear one more word
about that blasted pig bank,
I'll be down those stairs like a ton of brick
and flatten that Meccano set of yours.
Did you hear that?
Why, Junior, what's the matter?
He...
Oh, nothing, Aunt Madge.
Nothing, really.
Don't you think we ought to wait
for a more propitious moment?
If he's already angry...
He's always angry since we put him
on an allowance. Come along.
Seems to me if he's already upset...
- You're not afraid of him, are you?
- Of course not.
You needn't be.
It's just bluff, all that grizzly-bear stuff.
He really loves us very much. All of us.
I do not.
May we come in?
No.
Cas wants to talk to you, Dad.
- Oh, hello, Cas.
- Hiya, J.J.
Go on in.
- Yes, but not you.
- I know.
I'll be downstairs.
Don't look so solemn. It's just a formality.
That's all.
What a revolting female she is, to be sure.
Sit down, Cas.
No, no, no. Over here.
Yes. Now, what can I do for you?
Well...
They were bright spots in my life,
but ever since you came back
from New York...
- Yes, I know.
- Well, it's quite all right, Cas.
I've not been entirely blind
to this little deadfall she's set for you.
But I've never lost confidence in you,
my boy.
You're much too intelligent,
much too shrewd,
to be taken in by that dreary female.
my position clear, J.J.,
before you say anything else.
But of course, Cas. By all means.
Well, you've known me, you've known
my family for a good many years.
Yes.
We've never been well-to-do,
or anything like that,
but we've always maintained
a certain respectability.
Proud but poor,
I suppose you might describe us.
Well, of course, why not?
If the poor can get any satisfaction
out of being proud, why not?
It costs nothing.
As for my financial situation,
my salary as professor of literature
at the university isn't munificent,
but it's adequate.
I believe my prospects
for promotion are good.
Well, that's splendid, Cas, but I...
As for my character,
I believe I behave reasonably.
I'm not overly susceptible to girls.
So what? The point of this whole thing
seems to have eluded me somewhere.
Well, I'm simply trying to tell you
that I want to marry her.
Marry? Whom?
Marry Madge, of course.
Madge? Are you out of your mind?
- I am not.
Because I love her, of course.
Love Madge? Oh, come now, Cas.
That's just downright silly.
You must have
No young man in his right mind would...
What is it? Her money?
Now, just a minute, J. J...
Because if it is, you might just as well
forget the whole matter.
I had precisely the same idea 25 years ago
with her mother.
I haven't the slightest interest
in Madge's money.
Oh, they've got it, all right.
Scads of it. Buckets of it.
By george, I've dreamed about that dough.
Just to get my mitts into that cash box
