00:03:36 How are you feeling now, Kitty?
00:07:02 Well, Maude Adams?
00:10:47 Listen, I got a cousin that'll send your kid to a nice school in Wisconsin. A convent.
00:13:52 As long as she keeps kicking in with little love tokens like that, sweetness
00:15:51 Sure, you got a great career.
00:17:54 Now it's her turn to do something for you.
00:23:32 He's a nice guy, too.
00:28:13 Don't you like it? No.
