Come on, baby. We've got a police escort.
Come on, baby.
They can't make a sucker out of us.
All right, come on.
Step back. Give them room.
Come on, step back.
How about a picture for the paper,
Mr. Andrews?
Wait till she gets home.
Later, boys. Later.
''He floats through the air
with the greatest of ease
''The daring young man
on the flying trapeze''
Get that thing out of the way!
Keep your britches on, we'll get it out.
Hey, you darn fool!
Ellen Andrews is going to marry
that Westley guy again.
Gordon's out back some place.
When he comes in, give him this.
Tell him l was just kidding.
-You can't get a thing done around here.
-Peter was just in.
-What?
-He left this money.
-He said he was just kidding.
-Where is he?
-There he goes.
-Hey, Pete!
Hello. l'm sorry, it was just a little gag.
l thought l'd have some fun with you.
Yeah, sure you had me going
for a little while, too.
-lt wouldn't have made a bad story at that.
-No, great.
But that's the way things go.
You think you've got a great yarn...
...and then something comes along and
messes up the finish. And there you are.
Yeah. Where am l?
When you sober up,
come in and talk to me.
Thanks.
Ellie?
Hello, Dad.
l knocked several times.
l'm sorry. l must have been daydreaming.
Everything's set.
Creating quite a furore, too.
Great stunt King is going to pull.
Stunt?
Yeah, he's landing on the lawn
in an autogyro.
Yes, l heard.
Personally, l think it's silly, too.
You look lovely, child.
Are you pleased with the gown?
Ellie?
The gown. Yes, it's nice, isn't it?
What's the matter, child?
What's wrong?
Nothing.
You haven't changed your mind
about King have you?
No.
Because if you have, it isn't too late.
You know how l feel about him.
Well, you gave me such a scare
when l couldn't find you.
You know,
the old pump isn't what it used to be.
l'm sorry, Father. l wouldn't hurt you
for anything in the world. You know that.
What's the matter, child?
Aren't you happy?
l thought so.
l knew there was something on your mind.
There, now.
What's the matter?
You haven't fallen in love
with someone else, have you?
Have you?
l haven't seen you cry
since you were a baby.
This must be serious.
Where'd you meet him?
On the road.
Now don't tell me you've fallen in love
with a bus driver?
Oh, no.
Who is he?
l don't know very much about him.
Except that l love him.
lf it's as serious as all that,
we'll move heaven and earth to--
No, it's no use. He despises me.
Come now.
Yes, he does.
He despises everything about me.
He says that l'm spoiled and selfish
and pampered and thoroughly insincere.
Ridiculous.
He doesn't think so much of you, either.
Well, l--
And he blames you for everything
that's wrong with me.
He says you raised me stupidly.
And now that's a fine man
to fall in love with.
He's marvellous.
What are we going to do about it?
Where is he?
-l don't know.
-l'd like to have a talk with him.
lt wouldn't do any good.
l practically threw myself at him.
Under the circumstances, don't you think
we'd better call this thing off?.
No, l'll go through with it.
But that's silly.
Seeing the way you feel about him.
No, it doesn't matter.
l don't want to stir up any more trouble.
l've done it all my life.
l've made your life miserable.
And mine, too.
l'm tired, father. l'm tired
of running around in circles.
He's right, that's what l've been doing
ever since l can remember.
l've got to settle down.
lt doesn't matter how,
where, or with whom.
You've changed, Ellie.
l can't walk out on King now.
lt would make us all look so ridiculous.
Anyway, what difference does it make?
l'll never see Peter again.
ls that his name?
Peter Warne.
Peter Warne.
Why, do you know him?
Why, no.
Father, you haven't heard from him,
have you?
-Don't be silly, of course.
-Please, what's that?
l guess that was his only interest in me,
wasn't it?
-The reward.
-l'm sorry you read it.
-Are
