I Wake Up Screaming • 1941

Jill Lynn:

I don't want to tell you your business, but don't you think you're making a fool of yourself? Vicky Lynn:
What do you mean? Jill Lynn:
Oh, this Frankie Christopher. People like that, what have they got to do with people like us? Vicky Lynn:
Jill, they're going to help me! Jill Lynn:
In what way? Vicky Lynn:
They're gonna' glamorize me. They may have started this thing as a gag, but, after taking one look at those million-dollar debutantes tonight, I realized I can give them cards in spades and still come out on top. Jill Lynn:
Vicky, you'll never come out on top by any shortcuts. One week your picture's on the cover of a magazine, the next it's in the ash can

It'd be a great scoop for me if I could bring you in myself.

00:00:03.428 --> 00:00:05.521

So you think I'm guilty too?

00:00:06.597 --> 00:00:08.929

Yes, and so does everybody else.

00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:12.299

What do you mean you promised to send Vicky flowers?

00:00:12.037 --> 00:00:16.363

Well, the day of the murder, I had driven Vicky to the station to get her train reservations.

00:00:16.441 --> 00:00:19.041

You mean you were with Vicky the afternoon she was killed?

00:00:19.477 --> 00:00:21.968

- Yes. - Then why didn't you tell that to the police?

00:00:22.999 --> 00:00:24.742

Because I'm not a fool. You told the police your story.

00:00:24.816 --> 00:00:27.751

- What'd it get you? - Never mind that. Go on.

00:00:27.819 --> 00:00:31.346

When we got back to the apartment, she had forgotten her key.

00:00:31.422 --> 00:00:33.356

She asked me if I had the one she gave me...

00:00:33.424 --> 00:00:35.358

and I told her I had raffled it off.

00:00:35.359 --> 00:00:37.919

Oh, dear, the passkey's gone too.

00:00:37.995 --> 00:00:39.963

I guess there's nothing to do but sit and wait...

00:00:40.999 --> 00:00:41.965

for the switchboard boy to get back.

00:00:42.001 --> 00:00:44.009

From what I've seen of that boy, he may be gone for hours.

00:00:44.969 --> 00:00:47.563

I'd better climb up the fire escape and let you in myself.

00:00:47.638 --> 00:00:50.801

Why, Larry, you'd never do anything so gallant.

00:00:50.825 --> 00:00:52.816

You don't know me.

00:01:16.001 --> 00:01:19.813

- There you are, milady. - Larry, you're so sweet.

00:01:22.857 --> 00:01:26.001

You know, uh, now that I'm leaving, I'm really a little unhappy about it.

00:01:26.861 --> 00:01:29.994

Oh, forget it.

00:01:29.163 --> 00:01:31.999

If I weren't sure I'd be a success, I'd-

00:01:31.001 --> 00:01:33.069

well, I'd never do a thing like this.

00:01:33.768 --> 00:01:38.999

I'm sure you'll be a success. You've got a heart made out of rock candy.

00:01:42.176 --> 00:01:46.001

- You won't forget me, will you? - I won't for at least two weeks.

00:01:46.999 --> 00:01:49.999

- Two weeks isn't very long, is it? - It is for a columnist.

00:01:49.055 --> 00:01:52.383

I'll tell you what I'll do. For the first two weeks, I'll send you flowers every day.

00:01:52.453 --> 00:01:54.819

It'll make a great impression where you're going.

00:01:54.889 --> 00:01:57.449

Oh, Larry, will you really?

00:01:57.001 --> 00:02:00.997

- Promise? - I promise.
