And whatever the French is

for "Try and get me there alive."

I can't tell you how much

obliged I am to you,

Mr. Trevor.

I'll see that he gets this.

I think I can guarantee you this is

the last you'll hear of the matter.

From what they say of this fellow,

he seems to be living

from hand to mouth,

so I'm sure your donation

will be more than enough

to shut him up.

That's great.

Of course, I would have rather had you

bring charges against him.

Oh, no, no. No, no.

That's out of the question.

Well, I suppose so.

I wish you'd have dinner with me

some night before I go.

Oh, thank you.

I don't get out very much,

but if I do get the chance--

Uh--

Oh. Excuse me.

That's all right, Mary.

Come right in.

This is a friend of mine.

A real good friend of mind. Mr. Trevor.

Mr. Trevor, this is my niece Mary.

Mary Kendall.

How do you do, Mr. Trevor?

How do you do?

Been shopping?

A little.

Uh, where's Frank?

Mean to tell me he's left you alone

for five minutes?

Received a wire to come

to London tonight. He's going to meet

that Dutch inventor tomorrow.

I wish you could meet Frank.

He's a fine boy.

He and Mary are going--

Uncle Harry has the soul

of a matchmaker, Mr. Trevor.

Just because

Frank and I grew up together

and are fond of each other--

Well, in my time, you didn't need

much more than to grow up together

and be fond of each other.

Wait till you meet him, Mr. Trevor.

He's got the stuff, that kid.

He's going to be one of the richest men

in the state before he's through.

I'm sure Mr. Trevor isn't interested--

You're right. I-- I guess

I do talk a little too much.

I'm afraid I'll have to be

running along now.

I wish you'd wait and have a drink.

Oh, thank you.

Some other time perhaps.

Say, wait. Uh--

I'll bet you know

all the places in Paris.

Where's a good place

to have dinner?

Oh, Uncle Harry.

Oh, it's a pleasure, Miss Kendall.

Well, let's see.

There's Ciro's of course,

but all Americans go there.

Yes. We did.

Uh, have you tried, uh,

the Paradis d'Azur?

Paradis d'Azur?

"Blue Heaven"?

Yes.

Oh. Good orchestra?

Excellent.

We'll try it tonight.

Thank you.

Good-bye, Miss Kendall.

Good-bye, Mr. Trevor.

Good-bye, Mr. Taylor.

Good-bye.

And thanks a thousand.

Uh, two thousand.

That's one swell guy, that fellow.

Is he?

I'll say so.

He did me a big favor.

I'd certainly like to do

something for him sometime.

Some business deal?

Well, yes and no.

He's a writer living in Paris.

I'd like to live in Paris.

Me too. Of course, a fellow

would have to watch his step, but...

I'll bet it'd be a lot of fun

once you got to know the place.

How do you like my new hat?

Oh, it's a humdinger.
