The Thin Man

Your daughter's here, Mr. wynant.

Mr. wynant.

Mr. wynant!

Haven't you got any more sense than to shout like that?

Well, I'm sorry, but...

Two weeks' work gone for nothing!

But I just wanted to tell you...

I don't care what you wanted to tell me.

Get your things! Get out!

You're through! Get out! Get out!

I'm going.

Good thing I'm going away.

No peace. No quiet.

Everybody interrupting me.

Did you tell him?

I didn't get a chance.

Dad!

Why didn't somebody tell me you were here?

I'm sorry to interrupt

your work, darling,

but this really is important.

How are you?

What, another young man?

It's the same one.

It's been the same one

for three months.

Forgive me. How are you?

Now take a good look at him, dad.

Try to remember him because...

He's going to be your son-in-law.

Well!

If it's all right with you.

And if it isn't?

He's still going to be your son-in-law.

You see how much we have to say.

But, dad, this is really

what I wanted to talk to you about.

Do you mind if 1 look around?

No. Help yourself.

Oh, Tom, show this... Where are you going?

Home. I'm fired.

Who fired you?

You did.

Forget it. Forget it!

Will you show this gentleman around?

Yes. This way, sir.

Thank you.

Dad, mother's planning on a big church wedding.

Yes, she would.

I hate all that fuss,

but I'll do it on one condition...

That you're there to give me away, darling.

What would your mother say to that?

It's my wedding, isn't it?

Yes, but wouldn't it be embarrassing

to have all of us there...

Your mother, me, your stepfather?

He can stay home.

Please, daddy, won't you?

If you think it would be all right.

Now, wait a minute. When's it going to be?

I'm leaving town tonight.

Where are you going?

That's a secret. I can't even tell you.

I've got an important idea to work on.

What? A new invention?

Yes. I don't want somebody to steal it from me.

We were planning on being married

right after Christmas.

I'll be home before Christmas.

Is that a promise?

That's a promise I won't forget.

Where's maccaulay? It's time I started.

Oh, how's your brother?

Oh, he's all right.

I'd like to see him. Why don't you bring him?

You know howiit is.

He's sort of under mother's thumb.

Yes, I know, I know.

You're not missing much. He's cuckoo.

Like all the rest of us?

Say, has this fellow...

Has he seen the whole family?

Yes, and he still wants to marry me.

He's a brave man.

Yes.

Thanks a lot, old man.

You certainly have an interesting plant here.

I didn't know that you invented

that smelting process, Mr. wynant.

This is the first metal that came through.

Three kinds of ore... Gold, silver, copper.

Well, isn't that interesting?

Daddy, does that still bother you?

Only in bad weather.

It isn't bad weather now.

Then you'd better get home before it is.

Good-bye, darling, and don't forget...

The 30th of December.

- Good-bye, boy. - Good-bye.

Take good care of Dorothy.

Show her that there is such a thing

as a happy marriage.

I'll do my best.

Good-bye.

Isit all settled?

Grand! Say, why did your mother divorce him?

I think he's swell.

It seems he has a secretary.

Oh! Well, I'll do my own typing.

Ooh! Dad's a good barometer.

Here's a taxi.

Hello, Mr. maccaulay.

How are you? Get under this.

No. We're taking your cab.

Your father still in there?

Yes. He's waiting for you.

Did he tell where he's going?

Wouldn't say.

Well, good-bye, miss wynant.

Here's your change, boss.

You wouldn't drive slowly, so no tip.

That's ok, sweetheart. I got it anyway.

Oh, Mr. wynant.

Hello there. Did you get my money?

I do wish you'd tell me where you're going.

I'm not telling anyone.

Suppose some business should come up.

That's just why I'm going.

There's 100, 200, 300...

Oh, here. Never mind.

I wish you'd count it. There's $1,000 there.

I trust you.

Isn't there anything else I can do?

Have you bought your ticket?

No.

Let me do that.

Yeah, you might do that.

You might get me a ticket for...

No, you don't.

Thanks and good-bye.

What will I do if something comes up?

Settle it yourself. What have I got a lawyer for?

Is Julia going with you?

No.

What if you need more money?

I've left instructions with Julia.

She'll get it from you.

You don't tell me a thing.

I don't know where you're going,

when you're coming back,

or how to reach you if any business comes up!

Hello, Tanner.

Mr. wynant.

My daughter's going to be married, Tanner.

Nice young man. She just brought him in.

Well, congratulations.

I'm going to make her a wedding present.

Thought I'd better do it now before I forget it.

I can drop them on the way...

That's funny.

Where are those bonds?

Bonds, sir?

I know I put them in there.

Maybe miss wolf has them, sir.

Yes...

Maybe she has.

Joe, how do you like yours?

Straight.

You women sure take a lot of punishment.

You're in the wrong place, buddy.

Am I?

What do you want?

Who is it, Joe?

That's what I want to know.

We're just having a little drink.

Yes, so I see.

Well...

See you later, Joe.

Didn't know I was talking to the boyfriend.

So long.

So long, Joe.

Who's that man?

He isn't anybody,

just a fellow I used to know.

I thought you'd given up that sort of friend.

It's the first time I've seen him in years.

Didn't want him to think I was high-hatting him.

You know how I feel about that sort of thing.

Don't worry. You won't see him again.

Tell me, did you change your mind about going?

No. I just came back for a second.

I want to get those... bonds.

Bonds?

What bonds?

The government bonds,

the ones you took from the office safe.

Oh, yes.

You told me to sell those along time ago.

I'd never tell you to sell those.
