The Loss of a Teardrop Diamond Page #2
a dog was very, um...
destructive.
I'm so sorry.
- Susie,
will you please take
this beast upstairs,
and will you please bring me up
a steaming-hot glass of milk
and a hot water bottle
and tell Auntie Fisher
and to get Miss Grace
to cancel any engagements
on my list for today?
Say I'm dead
or something else to amuse them.
- You've still got
- Fisher.
Was that Fisher?
Fisher.
- Hello, Mama.
How are they treating you?
I need to talk to you.
It's about a girl.
She made this proposition,
and I just wanted to know
what you would think.
Mama, it's Jimmy.
- A young man
just arrived in a truck,
says he's expected by you.
- Fisher.
- In here, Jimmy.
I nearly despaired
of your arrival.
The party's been on
for an hour.
Look, all of your dress clothes
are laid out on the bed.
Please, get into them
lickety-split.
Jimmy, you look dazed.
Is something wrong?
She didn't know who I was.
- Jimmy,
she'll soon be out.
- Mama was committed.
Arrangements can be made.
It's just a question of time.
Get out of those wet things.
or would you like champagne?
You've had a shock.
Make it champagne
laced with brandy.
- I'm undressing
right in front of you
as if you weren't a girl.
- Propriety is a waste of time.
We don't have time to waste.
Get right into the tuxedo.
- This thing looks complicated.
- Oh, Susie will help you,
from me?
- Susie, please.
- I see.
Well, Susie,
make sure he comes down
to be presented to Aunt Cornelia
impeccably dressed
in the contents of that box.
This is going to be the first
debut party of the season
at which I will shine
with pride.
- Fisher,
Mr. Van Hooven's waiting.
- What?
Oh, my goodness.
Did I forget to tell him
that my escort tonight
- What?
- What?
- Oh, Van, don't get up.
- You're relieved
of duty tonight.
I have another escort.
So you and Aunt Cornelia
can spend the evening together
discussing old times.
- I don't understand this
at all.
- I don't understand.
- The explanation
is about to enter.
Mr. James Dobyne,
Aunt Cornelia Fisher
and her attorney,
Craig Van Hooven.
Well...
- Dobyne?
- Dobyne?
- Oh, Aunt Cornelia,
surely you remember
Governor Dobyne.
- Governor Dobyne.
- And this young man is-
- His grandson.
Good night, Auntie.
We're terribly late.
Have fun together.
Play cards
or discuss litigations
or consummate
Aunt Cornelia,
may I wear the teardrop
diamond earrings tonight?
- Those earrings
are worth $10,000, Fisher,
