But i don't want to get paid.

Not want to ?

I don't care whether

you want to get paid or not.

You've got to get paid.

Bertha, you mustn't do that.

It'll ruin everything.

It's only for a few weeks.

I promise you.

What are you going to

do for money ?

I was going to speak to you

about that, mrs. Watson.

I know it's a lot to ask,

but... if i could owe you

the rent for a couple weeks--

Only the rent--

I shan't need any food.

You'll not need food ?

Oh, i'll get that

somewhere.

Of course you can stay,

mr. Stratton.

Thanks very much,

indeed.

Sid,

are you in trouble ?

No. Everything's fine.

I've... got some money

in the post office.

Not very much,

but you could have it

if you need it.

I can get most of

what i need at the lab.

But if there are a few oddments,

i'll let you know. Thanks.

Anytime.

I'm even glad, michael.

You get no money from father.

All right. I'm freer

to say we'll get married

as soon as you like.

You're-- You're very sweet,

but i'm not going to let you.

What do you mean, michael ?

I wouldn't dream

of letting you marry me

in a fit of temper.

Not until you can do it

in perfectly cold blood.

Well, i must be off.

I have to look around

in some other direction.

[ Door closes ]

daddy.

I thought you'd gone,

daphne.

Father, i know what

you think about michael.

You think all he wants

is my money.

Hmm. Mine.

Well, it just so happens

you're wrong.

He's going to find

some other way to do

all the things he wants.

Splendid !

And he still wants me !

Well, if you

want him, daphne,

Then i'm very glad.

So, now will you change

your mind about him ?

Well, if that means-- Will i

invest in him in spite of what

i've seen of his mills-- No.

Just because there was

a lunatic in the place,

you blame him.

It might have happened

to anyone.

In the birnley mills,

for instance ?

I'm sick of the birnley mills...

And everything

connected with them.

And the sooner i leave home,

the happier i shall be.

Sorry.

Hey ! Wait !

Hm, hm, hm.

Well, all right.

[ Rhythmic bubbling

and gurgling ]

Ah, mr. Stratton.

I don't quite see

your point about this.

Daddy, just a minute. I--

- Miss birnley !

Please don't tell

your father.

You're working for him now.

How nice.

Does he know ?

I can't wait to tell him.

Miss birnley !

Look, miss birnley !

Get off !

Just give me two more days.

One even. It's more important

than anything.

It's going to

astound the world !

[ Tires skid ]

Look. You know about

the problem of polymerizing
