Elizabeth. [Smiling.] I don’t believe you’re a very good business man.
Teddie. [Sharply.] You don’t know what you’re talking about. I’m a first-rate business man, but somehow this is different. [Hopelessly.] I don’t know why it won’t go right.
Elizabeth. What are we going to do about it?
Teddie. You see, it’s not just because you’re awfully pretty that I love you. I’d love you just as much if you were old and ugly. It’s you I love, not what you look like. And it’s not only love; love be blowed! It’s that I like you so tremendously. I think you’re such a ripping good sort. I just want to be with you. I feel so jolly and happy just to think you’re there. I’m so awfully fond of you.
Elizabeth. [Laughing through her tears.] I don’t know if this is your idea of introducing a business proposition.
Teddie. Damn you, you won’t let me.
Elizabeth. You said “Damn you.”
Teddie. I meant it.
Elizabeth. Your voice sounded as if you meant it, you perfect duck!
Teddie. Really, Elizabeth, you’re intolerable.
