...and didn't have to run anymore.

Hm.

Well, thank you, Miss Marsh.

That will be all.

Are there any other witnesses?

No, sir. My case rests.

Is the defendant represented in court?

No. Since there's no question

of support or property settlement...

...the case is not contested.

All right.

Well, from the evidence

we've heard today...

...we seem to have a regrettable instance

of a young man...

...who wasn't able to handle

his own success.

Even made it intolerable

for this young woman to live with him.

Funny what a little success

will do to people.

Well, much as I dislike

this divorce business...

...there doesn't seem to be

anything to do here.

There are no children.

No question of money

and certainly sufficient legal grounds.

Therefore, I grant this divorce.

Court's adjourned.

It's all over now, honey,

you're as free as a bird.

Thanks to you, Marilyn.

If anybody got my divorce for me,

you did.

We're going to my place

and celebrating.

You're swell to take me in, honey.

Oh, gosh, it's staring to rain.

Wouldn't it, though?

Today of all days.

I don't mind. It's Eddie's blue suit.

- He always wants it when it rains.

- Eddie's blue suit?

We'll stop at the cleaners

and make sure they send it to him.

Eddie may not have me, but he's gonna

have his darned old blue serge suit.

Gosh, I loved Eddie in that suit.

Divine.

Too divine.

Too, too divine.

Shove, dove, wove, glove...

- Hi, Dixie.

- Hello, honey.

- Working?

- Trying to, and getting nowhere but fast.

Any calls for me, darling?

The phone rang, but when I answered

there wasn't anyone on the wire.

- How are the lyrics going?

- Oh, I guess I'm upset.

This is the third fellow

I've tried to write with, and it's no use.

But I'll find one

if I have to put an ad in Variety.

I'll get it.

Hello? Oh, uh...

Just a minute. I'll see.

- It's Eddie.

- Eddie?

Now, don't be overanxious.

Play hard to get.

I'm afraid she's gone out.

I'll see if I can catch her.

Do something

so you'll sound out of breath.

Run around the room.

Run to the door. Go on.

Hold the wire, Eddie,

I managed to catch her.

Hello, Eddie.

I'm sorry I'm a little out of breath.

I just came in.

Marilyn caught me way down the hall.

I'm sorry to bother you

if you're going out.

Well, it is fairly important.

I was wondering if you could

run over here for few minutes.

You will? Oh, that's swell.

You're a darling.

I'll be right over.

Oh, it's something important, he said.

Marilyn, do you suppose?

Oh, gee.

- Hello, Eddie.

- Hello, Dixie.

Come on in.

Thanks.

- May I take your cape?

- Oh, yes.

I can't stay long,

people are waiting, you know?

Oh, sure, sure. As a matter of fact,
