A Night at the Opera

A Night at the Opera1935

Mrs. Claypool:
It's rather difficult to believe that when I find you dining with another woman.

Driftwood:
That woman? Do you know why I sat with her? Because she reminded me of you.

Mrs. Claypool:

Mrs. Claypool:

Driftwood:
How do you like that? Every time I get romantic with you, you want to talk business. I don't know, there's something about me that brings out the business in every woman.
