Perhaps I am, but that's

the guy you've got to marry.

Say, is this a private

fight or can anybody join?

No, no fighting.

Come on, Carol. Let's dance.

I want to get as much

use out of you as possible.

While you're still freelancing.

Are we keeping you up?

No. I don't know why I'm so sleepy.

I didn't roll out of bed

till way past noon today.

You lead a hard life.

Well Bill, we'll have plenty of

dances before the evening's over.

The orchestra is going

to play until 4 am.

That's just the shank

of the evening, blessed.

Darling.

Goodnight, Phyllis.

Goodnight.

Goodnight.

Happy dreams.

Never mind, Joseph.

Anything more, Miss Carol?

Goodnight, Joseph.

Goodnight, Mr Wade.

Goodnight, Miss Carol.

Goodnight, Joseph.

I ought to be in bed this minute.

But we're going to settle this now.

You've been absurd tonight, Bill.

Carol, you might just as well

make up your mind to one thing.

You are going to live on my income.

Your income?

How much is that?

Twenty thousand a year.

Wait a minute, I'm not apologizing.

I'm not asking you to share my poverty.

I'm mighty lucky to be making

that money in these times.

But that's less than 400 dollars a week.

And you're lucky, too.

You're one girl in ten thousand who can

get a man who's making 400 a week.

Oh Bill, why shouldn't we have

everything out of life that we can?

I refuse to go through

life having people say:

There goes Bill Wade who married

Carol Morgan's millions. Millions.

But you have your own job. I'm very

willing to have you stay with sausages.

Don't say sausages!

Sausages, sausages, sausages!

Your sentiments are very noble, Bill.

But it is your pride speaking.

Who says it isn't?

Do you think I have any pride?

Pride? What in?

In the only things I

can do in my position.

Why should I close up this lovely house

and discharge a lot of good servants?

When it's unnecessary.

I'll tell you why. To be: Mrs Bill Wade.

Oh .. is that final?

Bill Wade on twenty thousand a year.

Well, if you're going to make money so

important, I'll make it important, too.

If you are going to make an issue ..

Of living on your salary,

I shall make an issue ..

Of having the things

I can with my money.

Alright. Consider it settled then.

Well, that suits me.

Great. Maybe I'll get

some sleep for a change.

Maybe you will.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

I couldn't leave you like this.

I was going to phone your apartment.

I'm sorry.

Don't talk.

Hold me tight.

What time do you want me to pick you up

tomorrow to go to the license bureau?

Tomorrow? Oh, Bill.

But I can get the wedding

ready in a month.

Carol, darling.

You are in no position

to dictate terms now.

Neither are you.
