Our Dancing Daughters
1
"You look sweet, darling!
If I do say it -- I picked
myself some snappy
parents!"
2
"New perfume?"
3
"Mother -- how vicious!"
4
"You're too young to
use such perfume. I'll
take it."
5
"I'm going to the Yacht
Club. See you at dawn!"
6
"Give us your toast,
Diana!"
7
"To myself! I have to
live with myself until
I die - so may I always
like - myself!"
8
"Right, Diana! There's
the whole racket of
decency in one
swallow!"
9
"Mind you and mother
get home before I do,
Dad!"
10
"- and what's more, if I so
much as smell one cigarette
on you, Beatrice - - your
allowance ends!"
11
"And you, Freddie -- no
flat tires tonight! Get
your sister home by
twelve -- or you can't
use the car again!"
12
"I don't think we should
let them go about with
that wild Diana Medford."
13
"Don't worry -- children
and horses are alike --
keep the rein tight
enough and they'll
behave!"
14
"Beatrice, you must marry
me -- I'll keep on asking
until you say 'yes'."
15
"I can't marry you,
Norman - I can't -"
16
"Ann, you're sneaking
my stockings again!"
17
"What a liar you are!"
18
"Mother -- you always
keep the best things
for yourself!"
19
"Don't worry, Mother --
I won't marry Freddie.
Not enough money!"
20
"Ann, be cautious. A rich
man wants his money's
worth!"
21
"I know, Mother -- you've
preached the formula
often enough! Beauty --
and -- purity."
22
"But after I'm married,
won't I have a fling!"
23
"Private party in there,
Mr. Blaine -- do you
mind being served out
here?"
24
"Li'l hot baby want
a cool li'l sip?"
25
"I said a sip -- not
a shower!"
26
"Ben Blaine of Birmingham
- best half-back Alabama
ever had."
27
"Wouldst fling a hoof
with me?"
28
"Here for long,
Mr. Blaine?"
29
"I wasn't -- but I am.
And don't call me
Mr. Blaine."
30
"All right -- Ben. And
I'm known as -- Diana
the Dangerous!"
31
"That's dough-rey-me
himself! Just came
into the Blaine millions."
32
"This sweet little girl
wants to meet you,
Ben -- -- give her a
hand!"
33
"Oh, no -- thanks --
I never drink."
34
"She just inhales!"
35
"I must go. Mother
doesn't like me to
stay out so late."
36
"Ben -- can't you see the
yearning in my innocent
blue eyes?"
37
"-- I'm just dying for --"
38
"-- a cigarette --!"
39
"Bea -- why won't you
marry me?"
40
"Before I met you, Norman
-- before I knew anything
about love -- -- things
happened --"
41
"Why should I let - anything
like that - - come between
us? You love only me now -
don't you?"
42
"Were -- they -- of
our crowd?"
43
"No -- don't tell me!
I don't want to
know --"
44
"Do you think a friendly
kiss would shock the
little stranger?"
45
"What a service station
you turned out to be!"
46
"Mother, I met the
most divine young
man tonight!"
47
"He's adorable! Different,
you know - serious about
things --"
48
"Bradstreet says he has
millions! Go after him!"
49
"I will -- if Diana doesn't
interfere."
50
"Diana's too free -- in
public. When it comes
to marriage, men are
still old-fashioned."
51
WEEK-END --
52
"Would you mind fixing
my saddle?"
53
"There's nothing wrong
with your saddle."
54
"I know it."
55
"Hadn't we better go
back for them?"
56
"No -- we've got to dress.
Don't forget we're dining
on Norman's yacht
tonight."
57
"It's such a pleasant
thing -- just to be
alive!"
58
"You want to taste
all of life -- don't
you?"
59
"Yes -- all! I want to
hold out my hands
and catch it -- like
the sunlight."
60
"Bea -- I'm in LOVE!"
61
"Ben?"
62
"You ought to thank God,
Diana -- you'll marry the
first man -- you love."
63
"He hasn't asked me
yet .... but he will!
I know he will!"
64
"Where's Ben?"
65
"I don't know -- he hasn't
shown up tonight."
66
"And little Annikins?
Where's dear little
Annikins?"
67
"She had a wretched
headache and I put
her to bed."
68
"Methinks there's dirty
work at the cross-
roads tonight!"
69
"You were sweet to walk
with me, Ben. I was afraid
to come out alone --"
70
"Something's worrying
you, Ben. Can't you -
tell me?"
71
"I was just thinking -
a man has to be
sure of the girl he
marries --"
72
"I know how you must
feel, Ben -- about girls
who are daring -- and
free with their -- love --"
73
"I know I seem stupid -
I can't be daring - and
free with men - I'm not
a 'modern' --"
74
"- but it's because I want
a home -- a husband --
and babies. And I want
to be - worthy of them -"
75
"I'll get Ben -- and meet
you at the lodge."
76
"Ben! Ben!"
77
"Naughty -- naughty!
No bedtime story
tonight!"
78
"Why, baby -- does
this mean -- -- an
engagement?"
79
"Norman wanted a quiet
wedding -- none of the
crowd."
80
"He's wonderful, Di. I've
told him everything --
and he forgives -- loves
me."
81
"I must hurry, Di -- --
I'm going to meet --
my husband."
82
"What's wrong with me,
Dad -- what's wrong
with me?"
83
"I'm not a liar -- --
a cheat -- I've been
decent!"
84
"And I've lost -- and
the others have won!
Why -- why?"
85
"But you've been honest,
dear -- you can still --
like yourself."
86
"No -- no! You can't be
honest -- frank! Men
want flattery - trickery -
lies -- lies -- lies!"
87
"How's the Missus?"
88
"If this rain keeps
up -- we'll drop in
on you later."
89
"I'm sorry -- but our
house isn't quite
ready for guests."
90
"Don't mention to Norman
that we saw any of the
'crowd'."
91
"Your Dad brought
me your mail."
92
"Beastly day -- don't
suppose you and
Diana got out?"
93
"See anyone you knew?"
94
"Your invitation today
was so cordial we just
had to come over."
95
"I heard from Ann today.
Has she written you yet?"
96
"Annikins in Paradise -
that's rich! Now I'll
tell one!"
97
"Here's to the husbands -
of the girls we love!"
98
"Here's to the lovers --
of the girls we marry!"
99
"Come again! I'm sure
you're always welcome."
100
"Norman -- you must
forget -- trust me!"
101
"I love you -- then
I hate you -- then
I love you again --"
102
"If you had been only
mine -- just mine --"
103
"He loves you, dear --
he'll come back."
104
"Yes -- all through our
lives together -- he'll be
coming back -- -- then
leaving me again."
105
"You can thank God, Diana
.... you've never done any-
thing that can come back
afterward and punish you."
106
"Another bracelet? Ben
is a good provider!"
107
"I buy them myself -- ten
service stripes -- one for
each month of marriage."
108
"You're sneaking my
clothes again!"
109
"Haven't you any love -
any respect -- for your
own mother?"
110
"Freddie!"
111
"Ann -- Ben may not be
blind forever -- you're
playing with fire!"
112
"I suppose you're going
to the farewell party
for Diana tonight?"
113
"I've got to go - my
sister's giving it."
114
"Ben didn't want to
go -- and made me
refuse."
115
"I know! I'll slip away
from Ben and meet
you at the Roma --
side door --"
116
"Freddie wanted us to
go to dinner - - but
mother phoned she's
ill - - needs me."
117
"Ann, how can you stand
that pup hanging around?"
118
"Darling -- you can't be
jealous of Freddie?"
119
"Let's have dinner here
together -- -- then
we'll both go to your
mother."
120
"I'm not hungry - -
and you know mother!
I think she's jealous
even of you."
121
"Your mother wants you
to lend her an evening
wrap -- she's going on
a -- racket!"
122
"Why must you lie
to me, Ann?"
123
"Because mother changes
her mind -- you accuse
me of lying!"
124
"Hysterics won't work
this time! I know
your game -- and I
won't stand for it!"
125
"I won't stay in this house
and listen to your insults!
I won't! I won't!"
126
"I -- I was alone, Bea --
thought I'd drop in for
a second."
127
"Have you seen Diana?"
128
"I tell you I gotta go,
Ann -- 'smy sister's
party."
129
"I'm going with you --
'smy club and I was
spesh'ly invited."
130
"You're in no condish'n
to face crowd, Ann.
I don't want myself
disgraced."
131
"You'll be away --
a year?"
132
"I'll miss you."
133
"I like to know you
are -- near."
134
"Diana - something went
wrong with me once.
I didn't understand
you - - and I'll never
forgive myself."
135
"I see -- because I was
a woman - not a lying
imitation - you decided
I was unworthy."
136
"But I thought there
was nothing finer
than -- truth. And
I still think so!"
137
"Well -- this is hot! No
wonder you tried to
keep me at home!"
138
"Ann -- stop it!"
139
"Trying to run away?
Scared of me? Well,
you ought to be, you - !"
140
"You're going to listen
to me!"
141
"Come on, everybody --
great show -- fireworks
'n everything!"
142
"Look at 'em! Nice couple
-- my husband -- and the
saintly Diana!"
143
"There isn't a decent
thought in your
nasty little mind!"
144
"You played the wide-eyed
innocent until you got a
husband! Your marriage
was a lie -- like the rest
of your life!"
145
"Which all means I got
the man you wanted!"
146
"- and the way you were
necking Ben when I came
in, shows you haven't
given up hope!"
147
"I do love Ben - -
I'll always love him."
148
"You see - - she
admits it!"
149
"- and I have to leave
him - to a thing like
you!"
150
"Freddie, take her away!"
151
"Not me! I don't crave
headlines!"
152
"I'll make you both suffer
for this -- all my life!"
153
"Diana -- Diana --
I love you --"
154
"I've loved you all the
time -- and I've lost
you -- forever --"
155
"All my life -- without
you -- --"
156
"No matter where I am,
Ben -- I'll be thinking of
you -- loving you --
always."
157
"Is there anyone
upstairs?"
158
"Yeah -- two dames.
One's drunk."
159
"I'll explain later, dear --
help me to get her home."
160
"Women -- women --
working!"
161
"Hey - - why are you
working? Haven't you
any daughters -- pretty
daughters?"
162
"Pretty daughters - doll
'em up -- a rich man
wants his money's
worth -- !"
163
"Yessir .... my mother knew!
Look at me .... I got every-
thing .... poor li'l Diana ....
she got nothing --"
164
"Them won't do her no
good -- now."
