Cornelia Bullock:
You can't go on like this forever. You really like me and you're afraid to admit it, aren't you? Godfrey:
You want me to tell you what I REALLY think of you? Cornelia Bullock:
Please do. Godfrey:
As Smith or as a butler? Cornelia Bullock:
Choose your own weapon. Godfrey:
You won't hold it against me? Cornelia Bullock:
It's your day off. Godfrey:
Very well. You belong to that unfortunate category that I would call the "Park Avenue brat." A spoiled child who's grown up in ease and luxury, who's always had her own way, and whose misdirected energies are so childish that they hardly deserve the comment, even of a butler on his off Thursday. Cornelia Bullock:
[hurt and angry]

You can't go on like this forever.
00:00:05.419 --> 00:00:07.964
You really like me,
and you're afraid to admit it, aren't you?
00:00:08.001 --> 00:00:10.591
Do you want me to tell you
what I really think of you?
00:00:10.675 --> 00:00:13.177
- Please do.
- As Smith, or as a butler?
00:00:13.261 --> 00:00:14.887
Choose your own weapon.
00:00:14.971 --> 00:00:18.001
- You won't hold it against me?
- It's your day off.
00:00:18.099 --> 00:00:19.767
Very well.
00:00:19.085 --> 00:00:24.313
You belong to that unfortunate category
that I would call the Park Avenue brat.
00:00:24.981 --> 00:00:27.817
A spoiled child
who's grown up in ease and luxury,
00:00:27.009 --> 00:00:29.902
who's always had her own way,
00:00:29.986 --> 00:00:32.947
and whose misdirected energies
are so childish
00:00:33.001 --> 00:00:37.118
that they hardly deserve the comment
even of a butler on his off Thursday.
00:00:37.201 --> 00:00:39.001
Thank you for a very lovely portrait.
00:00:39.012 --> 00:00:40.746
Hiya, Cornelia. What are you doing here?
00:00:40.083 --> 00:00:43.999
Godfrey and I were discussing
tomorrow's menu.
00:00:43.124 --> 00:00:45.793
- Well, don't run away.
- I'm in an awfully big hurry. Good-bye now.
00:00:45.876 --> 00:00:48.754
I'll see you down by the ash pile.
00:00:48.838 --> 00:00:51.924
- What did she mean by that?
- That's a little joke we have between us.
00:00:52.027 --> 00:00:54.468
Oh, I see. A joking butler.
What's the matter with that stuff?
00:00:54.552 --> 00:00:57.346
- Did it turn your stomach?
- I think I'll switch.
00:00:57.043 --> 00:01:00.308
- I'm more at mood.
- Now we're getting someplace. Waiter?
00:01:01.309 --> 00:01:03.144
Another one of these.
00:01:14.363 --> 00:01:16.949
- He's not back yet, is he?
- Not yet.
00:01:17.001 --> 00:01:19.535
Would you mind putting these flowers
in his room?
00:01:19.619 --> 00:01:22.413
- I can't go in there anymore.
- I can't either.
00:01:22.496 --> 00:01:25.416
- You won't tell him they're from me, will you?
- If you don't want me to.
00:01:25.499 --> 00:01:27.501
Oh, I don't want him to know.
00:01:32.001 --> 00:01:34.258
It's his, isn't it?
00:01:34.342 --> 00:01:36.999
- Do you always sew his buttons on?
- Sometimes.
00:01:36.001 --> 00:01:39.001
Oh, I'd like to sew his buttons on
sometime when they come off.
00:01:39.889 --> 00:01:42.999
- I wouldn't mind at all.
- He doesn't lose very many.
00:01:42.001 --> 00:01:44.435
- Oh, he's very tidy.
- Yes, he's very tidy.
00:01:45.001 --> 00:01:48.898
- What does he do on his day off?
- He never tells me.
00:01:48.999 --> 00:01:52.485
Oh, he's probably sitting somewhere
with some woman on his lap.
00:01:52.568 --> 00:01:54.654
He's the meanest man I know.
00:01:54.999 --> 00:01:56.001
I think he's very mean.
00:01:56.739 --> 00:01:58.366
I suppose he's sitting somewhere
