The Palm Beach Story1942

Gerry Jeffers:
Isn't it wonderful?

Tom Jeffers:
Sensational. But you haven't quite answered my question yet.

Gerry Jeffers:
What question, dear?

Tom Jeffers:
Why this alleged old man gave you - how much is it?

Gerry Jeffers:
Seven hundred dollars.

Tom Jeffers:
Seven hundred dollars. Why?

Gerry Jeffers:
No reason.

Tom Jeffers:
Oh, is that so? He just - seven hundred dollars? Just like that?

Gerry Jeffers:
Just like that.

Tom Jeffers:
I mean, sex didn't even enter into it.

Tom Jeffers:
Oh, but of course it did, darling. I don't think he'd have given it to me if I had hair like excelsior and little short legs like an alligator. Sex always has something to do with it, dear.

Tom Jeffers:
I see.

Gerry Jeffers:
From the time you're about so big and wondering why your girlfriends' fathers are getting so arch all of a sudden. Nothing wrong - just an overture to the opera that's coming.
