of something important.

Directors' meeting. I can't leave now.

She'll understand.

Yes, sir, Mr. Pres.

She'll understand, all right.

But liking it is gonna be different.

And expecting a man

to go to a dressmaker's with you.

I declare, I hope Pres doesn't come.

- He will.

- But, Julie...

Now, don't fret about Pres.

I've been training him for years.

Not with that man-killing

horse you bought.

Pres was outrageous.

He'd no right to tell me

what I could ride and couldn't.

Horse showed you

what you couldn't.

You broke your collarbone

and your engagement.

And they both mended,

so I was right after all.

- Miss Julie, ma'am.

- Ti Bat, did you tell him to hurry?

Yes, ma'am, Miss Julie. I tell him.

But he ain't come.

That is, not just exactly.

That is, he say,

will you please go along?

In the middle of some directions.

Causes some problems.

He can't see you later.

Did Mr. Pres say that?

Yes, ma'am, those his very words.

He says you'll understand.

- Yes. Yes, I understand perfectly.

- Julie.

Julie, in a bank.

I'll get him, Miss Julie. I'll get him.

- Thank you.

- Just a moment.

I'm not putting the bank

in a $ 10 million proposition...

...without knowing

what I'm talking about.

I haven't spent six months getting

these figures for my album.

- Give me a little...

- Mr. Dillard, sir.

- Yes, what is it?

- It's Miss Julie, sir. She's waiting.

- I'm sorry.

- Certainly, my boy.

Everything waits

where beauty's concerned.

- You shouldn't...

- Are you coming or aren't you?

- Try to understand.

- I only understand that you promised.

- But this is important.

- I don't suppose it's important...

...that I spent a whole month

having my ball dress made.

You promised to come and see it fitted.

I don't suppose it's important to you

what I wear to the Olympus ball.

It's only you that's so important.

I suppose Mr. La Cour and the others

couldn't possibly get on without you.

They'd love to, permanently.

- Now, Julie, you've got good sense.

- Thank you.

I'm having the fight of my life in there.

I've gotta get back.

Just run along, I'll see you later.

Don't trouble.

I'm sure you'll be too exhausted

from your terrific struggle.

- Julie, you must realize...

- I realize only too well.

Good day, Mr. Dillard.

I'm so sorry to have troubled you.

To Madame Poulard's.

- Julie, it's perfectly lovely.

- I don't like the color.

And does it have to be so tight here?

- It binds. And the skirt...

- But it's adorable, Julie. It really is.

- Pres has always loved you in white.

- Yes.

If he isn't bowled over,

I won't know what to think.

Wait a minute.

Bring that over here.

- Saucy, isn't it?

- And vulgar.
