Trouble in Paradise1932

Gaston:
It embarrasses you to offer me the 20,000 francs reward.

Mme. Colet:
Yes.

Gaston:
Don't be embarrassed. I'll take it. I need the money. I wish I were in a position to ignore the whole matter, but you know Madame, the stock market, a bank crash. To make a long story short, a member of the nouveaux poor.

Mme. Colet:
Well, I'm glad I lost the bag. I'll write you a check immediately.
