|---|---|
| That was a good ride. So long, Esther | 1.We'll see you later.Bye. Certainly was hot on the tennis court. |
| Too hot, if you ask me. Don't forget to wash your hair. | 2.I won't. Rose is bringing shampoo from downtown. - Too sour? |
| Oh, he won't mind, seeing as how tonight's corned-beef night. | 3. Is it all right, Katie? |
| - Yes, but I had to tell your mother lies. | 4.They're white lies. |
| A lie is a lie. Dressing it in white don't help it. Now, if it's not asking too... Just why was I lying this time? Why must we have dinner an hour early? | 5.Rose is expecting... |
| Don't blame your sister | 6.Blaming her? We're doing this for her. You know Rose's problem. Warren's been writing to her for six months... ...without one word that smells like a proposal. |
| What's that got to do with having dinner an hour early? | 7.Warren Sheffield is telephoning Rose long-distance at half past 6. |
| - Long-distance? | 8.From New York City. If the family's sitting here, she'll be loath to say... ...what she's compelled to, to get a proposal out of a man. If he, unfortunately, is Warren Sheffield. |
| Personally, I wouldn't marry a man who proposed to me over an invention | 9.Well, we can't be too particular. Although we love Rose... ...the brutal fact is that... ...well, she isn't getting any younger |
| Hello, Rose. There's the poor old maid now. Esther. Esther! He's out there. | 10.John Truett? |
| - Isn't it a lovely day, Esther, dear? | 11.Heavenly, Rose. Simply heavenly. |
| Well | 12.He's not very neighborly, I must say. |
| He's only lived here three weeks. You can't expect him to fling himself at you | 13.Well, that's true. Besides, meeting across the lawn for the first time would be... ...so ordinary. I don't want to be just introduced to him. I want it to be something strange and wonderful, something I'll always remember. |
| I'll get George to bring him to Lon's going-away party. | 14.Could you? |
| Rose. Esther. The water's hot. You should wash your hair. We're eating early. All right, Mother. | 15.Why are we eating early? You certainly don't want the family in there while a man proposes long-distance. Proposes? |
| I don't see why you assume Warren's gonna propose to me. | 16.Well, why else do you think he's calling you long-distance? - Do you know what it costs? |
| Your papa's not supposed to know. It's enough that we're letting him work hard to support the flock of us. He can't have everything. | 17.Where's Tootie? I haven't seen her all day. |
| You were so sure you'd win it. I overlooked one thing. That judge is an old thief. | 18.If losing a case depresses you, quit practicing law... ...and go into another line of business. |
| - I suppose so. But right now I'm going to soak in that cool bathtub for one solid hour. | 19.But that's impossible. Dinner's being served in five minutes. |
| Katie's been here 10 years. She never asks favors. We don't wanna lose her. | 20.You can't get a maid for less than $ 12 a month. Lon, count three. |
| Now, listen. Your father will be down in a minute. If we eat quickly, we may get him out... ...before the call comes through. | 21. Warren's 21. I think that's a perfect age. |
| Lonnie, did you have a nice day... Oh, no, you didn't, did you, dear? | 22.There's a fashion pavilion at the world's fair. Isn't that exciting? |
| Rose is crying. What's the matter with you? | 23.Oh, nothing, Papa. You've just ruined Rose's chance to get married, that's all. |
| What | 24.That was Warren Sheffield calling long-distance to propose. |
| - I beg your pardon... | 25.I'll bet there isn't another girl in St. Louis who's had a Yale man call long-distance... ...just to inquire about her health. |
| - Es, he's here. | 26. What did he say? |
| - It would've been nice to be a brunette. | 27. You should've been. Nothing could've stopped us. Think how we'd look going out together. You with your raven black hair and me with my auburn. Rose, I've decided something. |
| - Esther Smith! | 28.If we're getting married, I should start it. |
| Men don't want the bloom rubbed off. | 29.Personally, I think I have too much bloom. Maybe that's the trouble with me. Eve, it's been ages! And you brought your violin. How nice. Harry, how are you? How nice of you to come. |
| - Oh, Es. | 30.Yes, Alono? |
| - May I present our neighbor, John Truett? | 31.I didn't quite catch the name. |
| - John Truett. | 32.Welcome to our home, Mr. Truett. |
| Well, thank you. This is the first party I've been to since we moved to St. Louis. | 33. Oh, do you live here? |
| - He lives next door. | 34.Oh, well, that's where I've seen you. |
| There are mice in the house. Two of them. | 35.Tootie and Agnes! |
| - Well, if they promise to go right up. | 36. Come on. You're so bad. - Come on, Lon. |
| - Agnes, that's enough fudge. | 37. Tootie sings quite well for a child. What would you like to sing? "Baby's Boats," "A Silver Moon"... ...or "Did You Ever See a Climb a ?" No. |
| I hate those songs. I want to sing a new one. It goes: I was "hmm" last night, dear Mother | 38. You can't sing that. |
| Let her sing. Well, all right. | 39.Go on. Go on, Tootie. |
| I was drunk last night, dear Mother I was drunk the night befoe But if you'll forgive me, Mother I'll never get drunk anymore | 40.You're a very bad girl. It's really Lon's fault. He teaches her those things. |
| I can do the cakewalk if Esther does it too. | 41.No |
| - Oh, come on, Esther, do it! | 42.Oh, all right. Anything. Now that you've insisted on doing this, you better be good. |
| - Too big. | 43.Yes, I know. Well, here, try this one. Now, put them on the chair. - A verse and two choruses. |
| Oh, Es. Want an introduction? | 44.Yes, the long one. You're supposed to be over there. |
| - Oh, I want this side. | 45. Oh, all right. Stay over there. Now. |
| I put it here with the others when you came in. Oh, Es, have you seen Mr. Truett's chapeau? | 46.It seems I saw it somewhere. I... Excuse me just a minute. Sorry to detain you. |
| Good night, Miss Esther. | 47. Good night. |
| I wonder how those got there. | 48.That's funny, isn't it? |
| Bon soir, Mr. Truett. Coming up, Es? | 49.Presently. After all, someone has to show our guest to the door. Remember, Es, dear, you have to get your beauty sleep |
| Well, I guess I better get going | 50.You haven't very far to go |
| No, I haven't at that, have I? | 51.Well, good night. We'll be seeing some more of you, won't we? |
| You bet. | 52.You'll join the crowd Friday to go to the fairgrounds, won't you? |
| - Well, good night. | 53. Good night. |
| - Good night. | 54.Good night. - Mr. Truett? |
| - Yes, Miss Esther? | 55.This is an untoward request, but... ...will you mind accompanying me through the house while I turn out the lights? |
| - Well, l... | 56. It's just that I... I'm afraid of mice. |
| Well, sure, sure. That's the least a man can do for his charming hostess. | 57.I have to turn them out everywhere. In the dining room, and in the living room, and everywhere. - Would you? |
| Sure | 58.No, it's here. Well, it certainly is dark in here with the lights off. |
| Shall we do the dining room next? | 59.Yes |
| Say, that is nice perfume. | 60.Do you like it? It's essence of violet. I save it for special occasions. |
| Exactly the kind my grandmother uses. | 61.No, this one is different, you have to... |
| There | 62. I'll turn these last two out. |
| Hadn't you better leave those lights on for your folks? | 63.I'll just turn them down dim. |
| Gosh, Miss Esther. I hope I'm not too presumptuous. You don't need any beauty sleep. | 64.What a nice compliment. |
| - How does it go | 65. How does what go |
| Gosh, that's beautiful, Miss Esther. | 66.You can drop the "Miss." |
| - I'll never forget it, Esther. | 67.Do you mean that? |
| Yes, yes, I do. And you know something else? | 68.What |
| You've got a mighty strong grip for a girl. Good night... ...Esther. | 69.Good night... ...neighbor. |
| Move up, there's penty of room. | 70.Quentin, are we...? - Are we all here? |
| Yes, she certainly is. Good evening | 71. Rose! Him! |
| - And so mature. | 72. How'd it happen? Where did you meet? |
| - I bumped into him. | 73. Accidentally? |
| Almost | 74. Oh, Rose, I think that's the most exciting... |
| - He tried to k*ll me. | 76.Mama, I think it's her lip. |
| Now, tell Mama, what happened? | 77.I think a streetcar hit her. |
| It must have tossed her onto the cinders. No, it wasn't the streetcar. It was John Truett. He tried to k*ll me | 78.John Truett? - John Truett hit you? |
| He tried to k*ll me, and when I screamed, he ran away. | 79.Tootie Smith, that's a monstrous falsehood. John Truett wouldn't hit a girl, least of all my sister. |
| - Hello, Esther. | 80.John Truett? - Yes? - I've come here to ask you something. What do you mean hitting a 5-year-old child? |
| Esther | 81.The next time you want to hit somebody, pick on somebody your own size. |
| Hey, Esther...! | 82.If there's anything I hate, loathe, despise and abominate, it's a bully! |
| I was drunk last night, dear Mother I was drunk te night before But if you'll forgive me, Mother I'll never get drunk anymore | 83.I got him. He didn't even have a chance to scratch me. |
| Your dress is torn. | 84.Must have happened while he was trying to hold me off. - I bit him. |
| No. But the cable came off when the motorman put on the brakes. | 85.What have you two been up to? |
| You might have k*lled doens of people. Rose, you're so stuck-up. | 86.Tootie, how did you get that lip? |
| .he tried to make us stay in the woodshed so the policemen wouldn't get us. As though policemen ever pay attention to girls. | 87. Get out of that bed and take my nightgown off. |
| Let her alone. After all, she was good about her lip and didn't cry. | 88.You're not my sister. You're the most deceitful, horrible, sinful little creature I ever saw. - I don't want anything to do with you. |
| - The motorman nearly had a fit! | 89.You shouldn't laugh. There's nothing to laugh at. That's terrible! Merciful heavens! John... John. John, I've come to ask you something. I just found out that... Did I do that? |
| And this. And this. And this. | 90.John, I... - I'm terribly sorry if I hurt you. |
| It's no worse than football practice... ...except it's better with a girl. How's Tootie? | 91.Oh, Tootie... - She'll live. |
| - I heard her crying. | 92.I guess. So did everybody in St. Louis. John, it's awfully nice of you to accept my apology. |
| If you're not busy tomorrow night, could you beat me up again? | 93.Well... ...I guess I'd better be getting home. - It's getting late. |
| Yeah, yeah, right. I guess so. | 94.Well... ...good night. |
| Good night. Esther? Would you mind helping me turn off the lights? I'm afraid of mice. | 95.All the lights are out. |
| Wouldn't take a minute to turn them on. | 96.Well, wouldn't that be kind of wasting a minute? |
| Yeah. Yeah, I guess it would. | 97.You know... ...you've got a mighty strong grip... ...for a boy. |
| Esther, your ice cream is melting. | 98.Isn't it? |
| Esther, is there anything wrong with you? | 99.Yes, Mama. |
| They're sending me to New York for good. To be head of the New York office. - New York! | 100.What |
| The same as they do here... ...go to school, play, have their friends over. What friends? | 101.Yes. What friends? |
| You will someday, if they'll take you in. Agnes just ready to be promoted and Esther going to be a senior | 102.I've worked all my life to be a senior. |
| And Rose is to be graduated. Graduation is the least. All the people I care about are in St. Louis. | 103.And what about me and my life? |
| I've got the future to think about. The future for us all. I've got to worry about money, with Lon in Princeton and Rose going to college | 104.Maybe Rose won't have to go. Things are happening. Tonight she met Colonel Darly, and he was very smitten with her. |
| We'll talk this over calmly tomorrow. Well, hickory nut cake as only Katie can make it. | 105.I can't move to New York. I just can't. |
| I'd rather go with the "orphalins" at the orphalins home. | 106.And what about the world's fair? Just when St. Louis was going to be the center of attraction of the universe. |
| No, thank you, Papa. I'll have some later before bed. - Esther? | 107.No, Papa. I had too much ice cream. |
| Don't use that impudent tone to your father. - She's just stating a fact. | 108.Excuse me. |
| Oh, it is, is it? - I suppose that was your idea. | 109.Lon, don't get so touchy just because... ...Lucille doesn't think you're good enough to take her to the dance. |
| Look who's talking. You're sulking because Warren Sheffield didn't ask you. | 110.That's not true. Rose turned down scads of dates. - She could have had any man she wanted |
| - Oh, thank you. | 111.Katie's right. That solves all of our problems. - And it's so full of the spirit of Christmas. |
| - Leave Christmas out of this. | 112.It's our last Christmas dance in St. Louis. - It'd be tragic if either of you missed it. |
| You can talk. You have a date. - A real one. | 113.If I didn't have a date with John Truett... ...which I have... ...I'd be thrilled to go with my brother |
| Then that settles it. - Wait! What's she got to do with this? | 114.Well... ...if you two won't go with each other, I won't go either. |
| That was all right, wasn't it? It didn't hurt. Es, it does wonders for your figure. | 115.I'm like the ossified woman in a sideshow. |
| - You look grand, simply elegant. | 116.I feel elegant, but I can't breathe. No, please... I think if I just can sit down for a minute. - I can't go through with it. |
| - You've got to start sometime. I went through this last year. And if we ever needed every ounce of allure, it's tonight. If we're going to wreck Lucille Ballard's evening, we've got to be a sensation. | 117.Don't you think I could be a sensation without the corset? |
| You're competing with an Eastern girl. I'll wager she doesn't move without a corset. | 118.Well, I certainly don't relish wearing this thing... ...but pride has come to the rescue. For tonight, I'll do anything. |
| It'll be worth it. If we create a breathtaking effect... ...it'll be simple to monopolie all the worthwhile men. | 119.Exactly. There are only going to be about 20 boys worth looking at. We can certainly handle 20 men. I should hope. - Can you handle 10? |
| - Well, seven or eight. | 120.If you guarantee eight, I can ha... I can handle the rest of them. |
| - What about John Truett? | 121.I'll devote myself to John... ...but in between, I'll make my presence felt amongst the others |
| Es? Someone to see you at the back door. | 122.Who |
| Someone that looks like John Truett. - What did you get me for Christmas? - You'll find out tomorrow. I hope it's a hunting knife. | 123.Hello, John. Come in. |
| Hello. Es, I've got some bad news. | 124.Your aunt in the hospital? |
| No, no. My tuxedo in the tailor's. | 125.Well, what about it? |
| I was playing basketball... ...and when I got there, it was closed. The tuxedo. I mean the tailor's. | 126.Well, can't you borrow one? |
| - Everybody who has one is going to the ball. | 127.Well, what about your father's? |
| That was my father's. | 128.Well, find the tailor and make him open the shop. |
| I know his name is Jones, but I don't know where he lives. | 129.Oh, this is ghastly. |
| - I'm sorry, Es. I wouldn't blame you if you never spoke to me again. | 130.Oh, well, you didn't do it on purpose. |
| Well, I guess there's nothing else to say. Unless you want to do something else tonight | 131.No, thank you. I think I'll stay home and do some packing. You know, we're leaving St. Louis in a few days. |
| I know. And this is a fine going-away present I'm giving you for Christmas. - I'll bet you really hate me. | 132.Oh, no, John, I don't hate you. I just hate basketball. |
| Es, darling, what is it? What's the matter? | 133.Nothing. I just wish I were dead, that's all. |
| Did something happen with John? | 134.He can't take me to the dance |
| - Why not? | 135.His father's suit's locked up in the tailor's. |
| Oh, that's awful, you poor dear, but don't worry. Lon will take the both of us. | 136.You don't think I'm going to the smartest ball of the season with my brother, do you? |
| Well, I like that. You wanted me to go with him. | 137.Well, that was different. - You didn't have a date. |
| - Neither have you. | 138.Well, I had one. |
| If Lon's good enough to take me he's good enough for you. Besides, you have to go. I can't handle 20 men alone. I admit it. | 139.One sister going with her brother has been done... ...but two sisters makes the whole family look ridiculous. I won't do it! |
| We'll see what Mama has to say about that. | 140.Come in. |
| You know, the man that built this house cheated your father. The walls are as thin as paper. | 141.Oh, Grandpa. |
| Her father told her she'd have to be home at 10:00. And she was crying, just like you are now | 142.I'm sorry. L... Oh, you must think I'm an awful baby. |
| They like to step out once in a while... ...with a pretty dress. That suit of mine does the greatest one-step you ever saw. | 143.Grandpa, are you actually... |
| What's this about your not going to the dance? | 144.Who says I'm not going? Of course I'm going... ...with the handsomest man in town. |
| I'll pick you up at 8. - Have you got her dance card filled out? | 145.Practically. |
| "Clinton Badger, Hugo Boorvis, Sidney Gorcey..." Oh, Es, you fiend. Everyone's a perfect horror! | 146.She'll remember St. Louis. Oh, look. There's Warren. - That must be her. - Come on. No. You go on. I have one more name to put in. Go on. |
| I think we can work out that problem if we give it a little thought. Well, we've got the whole evening to think about it. - Hello. | 147.How are you, Warren? |
| Just fine, Esther. Miss Ballard, this is Esther Smith. Esther, Lucille Ballard. | 148.I've been anxious to meet you |
| - Esther, we've been talking. | 149.Yes. I wish I'd been here. I hope you don't mind... ...but we've taken the liberty of filling out your dance card. |
| The plans have been changed. What's this about Miss Ballard's dance card? | 150.I must have mislaid it. I better go and find it, though |
| May I have my card, please? Is this Miss Ballard's card? | 151.Well, let me see. Oh, no. I made a mistake and put your name on my card. That's yours. |
| - Thank you. | 152.This is mine. |
| Why, Lon, you're down for the first dance | 153.Hello |
| - Hey, Miss Esther! Where's this Lulu Ballard you put me down for? I'm ready and willing. | 154.Oh, well, Clinton, there's been a mistake. - I'm taking her dances, if you don't mind. |
| If you want to make me feel at home, you might offer me your partner. Spoken like a gentleman. | 155.Oh, Grandpa, you're the first human being... ...I've danced with all evening. |
| Esther, I wouldn't want this rumored about... ...but I'm pretty proud of you. | 156.It's our last dance in St. Louis. I feel like I'm gonna cry |
| I wouldn't have said it, Esther, if I thought it would make you cry. | 157.I've imagined you saying it thousands of times. And I always planned exactly how I'd act. I never planned to cry. |
| - Well, at least you didn't laugh. | 158.Laugh |
| I never asked a girl to marry me before. - I guess maybe I was kind of | 159.oh, John. No one could have done it more beautifully. I'm very proud. |
| Esther, will you? - Will you, Esther? | 160.Of course I will, John. Well... |
| Gosh, the time we've wasted. Say, do you realie I might have lost you? Three more days, you'd have been gone. | 161.Let's not even think about it. |
| We might never have seen each other again. | 162.I kept telling myself even if I did go away... ...we'd find some way to be together. But I never really believed it. |
| When you go to New York, it'll be with your husband. Your folks can show us the town. Meet us at the station. - Let's go and tell them now. | 163. Oh, no. Not tonight. I mean... ...I'd rather just the two of us knew about it tonight. |
| Esther, you're not changing your... - You do feel it's the right thing, don't you? | 164. Oh, yes. Yes. |
| i don't have to be an engineer. College takes too long anyway. I can get a job right away and support you in style. | 165.Of course you can, darling. |
| We're not gonna let them talk us out of it. After all, we are of age. Practically. | 166. john. Even if I did go to New York... ...we could still work something out somehow. Couldn't we? |
| Do you think so? | 167.Merry Christmas, John. |
| Merry Christmas, Esther. | 168.Tootie, you bad girl. You should be asleep. |
| Did he come yet? I've been waiting such a long time, and I haven't seen a thing. | 169. Did who come? |
| - Santa Claus. | 170.He's not going to come until you're asleep. |
| How will he know how to find us next year? He's so used to coming here. | 171.Oh, you can't fool him. He can find anybody he wants to find. |
| - I'm taking everything. | 172. Of course you are. I'll help you pack them myself. You don't have to leave anything behind... ...except your snow people, of course. We'd look pretty silly trying to get them on the train, wouldn't we?Tootie? Tootie. Tootie. |
| Tootie? Tootie. Tootie. - What's wrong with Tootie? | 173. I don't know, Papa. Tootie! Tootie, where are you? Tootie! What are you doing? Come in the house. You'll catch pneumonia. |
| Nobody's gonna have them if we're going to New York. I'd rather k*ll them if we can't take them with us. | 174.Tootie, darling, don't cry. It's all right. Don't cry. - You can build snow people in New York. |
| - No, you can't. You can't do anything like you do in St. Louis. | 175.Oh, no, darling, you're wrong. No, no, New York is a wonderful town. Look, everybody dreams about going there. |
| . | 175.But we're luckier than lots of families because we're really going. Wait'll you see the fine home we're gonna have... ...and the loads and loads of friends we'll make. Wonderful friends. |
| . | 175.But the main thing, Tootie, is, we're all going to be together... ...just like we've always been. That's what really counts. We could be happy anywhere as long as we're together. What's the matter, Papa? |
| Nothing, dear. Nothing. Everything's fine. | 176.Come on, darling. That's a girl. Come on, darling. That's a girl. Santa Claus is gonna be here any minute. Don't cry. |
| Anna! Anna! Anna! Anna! Rose! Grandpa! Esther! - Lonnie, what is it? - What is it, Anna? I'm coming. - What's the matter? - What is it, Lon? - Go on and sit down. - What's happened? Sit down, everybody. Over there. | 177.Papa, what is it? |
| We're going to stay here till we rot. - We haven't rotted yet. | 178.But what will you say to Mr. Fenton? |
| He's so excited... ...he's liable to leave on his honeymoon without Rose. | 179.You handled the whole thing magnificently. He's putty in your hands. |
| Merry Christmas, Mama. - Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas, Rose. | 180.Oh, Papa, you've given us the nicest Christmas present anybody could ask for. Merry Christmas. |
| Merry Christmas, Papa. - Don't crowd, now. I hope you like that, it's the same as mine. - Gee, thanks. | 181. This is for you, Rose. |
| Papa, we saw the Galveston Flood. Big waves came up and flooded the whole city. When the water went back, it was muddy and horrible. - Full of dead bodies .- Oh, Tootie. | 182.Oh, isn't it breathtaking, John! I never dreamed anything could be so beautiful. |
| I liked it better when it was a swamp and there was just the two of us. Esther! John! | 183. i forgot about it too. |
| - Hurry up, you two. We're starving. | 184. I'm so sorry. We didn't mean to keep you. |
| - We're all here. - Where is the French restaurant? - It's over there. | 185. No, it's across from Machinery Hall. |
| Now, now, let's not lose our heads! I know exactly where it is. just follow me. | 186. Oh, look. The lights! |
| Oh, how beautiful! There's never been anything like it in the whole world. We don't have to come here on a train or stay in a hotel. It's right in our own hometown. Grandpa, they'll never tear it down, will they? Well, they'd better not. | 187. I can't believe it. Right here where we live. Right here in St. Louis. |
| - Tootie. | 75. Where is she? |
