Stowaway1936

Susan Parker:
Moonlight on the water, stars in the sky, slow music, it's almost overdone, isn't it? They might've at least omitted the music.

Tommy Randall:
Everything's here, including you and me. Taken all together, that spells romance.

Susan Parker:
Romance takes two.

Tommy Randall:
There are two here.

Susan Parker:
Yes, but not the right two. You see, I'm engaged. To Richard Hope, Mrs. Hope's son. He's meeting the boat in Bangkok. We're to be married there.

Tommy Randall:
Why Bangkok?

Susan Parker:
Well, he lives there. He with an exporting firm.

Tommy Randall:
Exporting what?

Susan Parker:
Oh, ivory, apes, peacocks - that sort of thing. He came out here two years ago, and he's worked very hard.

Tommy Randall:
You mean you've been engaged for two years, and you haven't seen him in all that time? Oh, you Latins, what a hot-blooded race you are.

Susan Parker:
Richard isn't quite like that. Besides, we've known each other since we were children.

Tommy Randall:
Well, I must say it all sounds rather lyrical.

Susan Parker:
It may not be exactly lyrical.

Tommy Randall:
Me, I've never been engaged, not definitely, that is, but if I were ...

Susan Parker:
Not definitely is right. I seem to recall something in the newspapers: "Millionaire Playboy Sued for Breech of Promise."

Tommy Randall:
Oh, I practically won that case. She only got ten thousand dollars. Poor kid, she'd been counting on fifty.

Susan Parker:
Ten thousand dollars? That's more than Richard makes in a year.
