What are we scared of?
So long, kiddies!
I wish I did.
Bye-bye.
- Michael.
- Yes, sir.
Mr. Grisby has told me something
I'm very sorry to hear.
"But if you kiss me"
Lover, this really concerns you
more than anyone else.
"Don't take your arms away"
According to George here,
Michael is anxious to quit.
- Did you know about that, Lover?
- No, I didn't.
Shut up, George.
- What's the matter, hours too long?
- No, sir.
How about the money?
- I don't care about that.
- Are you independently wealthy?
- I'm independent.
Of money?
Before you write that novel,
You've been travel ling the world
too much to find out about it.
That's good, Arthur.
Well, sir...
very sanitary to be broke.
- That's good, too, Arthur.
- Shut up, George.
and happiness, etcetera.
Is that it?
Without money, I'd be flat on my back
in the ward of a county hospital.
Look at this yacht.
It once belonged to Jules Bachrach.
The great Bachrach,
who kept me out of his club...
...because my mother
was a Manchester Greek.
I got him on perjury.
He died bankrupt. And here i am.
Each man has his own idea of happiness,
of course.
But money is what all of us
have in common.
Take Bessie here.
She used to work for Bachrach.
I pay her more, don't I, Bessie?
Yes, Mr. Bannister.
It means a home...
...three rooms for two families.
Bessie's a grandmother, a widow.
Only one of the boys works.
- Right, Bessie?
- Yes, sir.
Yes, of course it is.
So Bessie goes to church every Sunday
she gets off...
...and prays to God she'll never be too old
to earn the salary I pay her.
You call yourself independent.
Come around and see me
five years from now.
Aye, aye, sir.
Sing it for us again, Lover.
Why do you stand for that, Bessie?
I'm quitting. Why don't you?
You heard him, Mr. Poet.
I need the money.
Talk of money and murder.
I must be insane.
Or else all these people are lunatics.
That's why I can't leave.
That poor little child he married.
Somebody's got to take care of her.
"Don't hold me
"But if you hold me
"Don't take your arms away
"Comes a change of heart
"Please don't love me
"But, if you love me
"Then don't take your lips
"Or your arms, or your love
"away"
So remember, ladies, use Glosso Lusto.
It pleases your hair,
pleases the man you love.
Will you help me?
Love.
Do you believe in love at all,
Mrs. Bannister?
Give me the wheel.
I was taught to think
about love in Chinese.
The way a Frenchman
thinks about "laughter" in French?
