William Sylvester Packett : Julia can explain everything. Come on and sit down and tell 'em dear.
Julia Packett : Well, of course.
William Sylvester Packett : Come on.
Julia Packett : You know, sometimes the uh, the most complicated thing has the... the simplest explanation, and then after the explanation, why the complicated thing becomes a very simple thing.
William Sylvester Packett : Yeah, yeah, sure. I told you she could explain it.
Col. Bruce 'Bunny' Willowbrook : Yeah, a little clearer explanation'd be most welcome to me.
-
Fred Ghenoccio : You mean you didn't know her and you talked to her?
Julia Packett : Well he talked to me just as much as I did to him.
William Sylvester Packett : Don't be stuffy, Fred. She talks to strange men all over the world.
Fred Ghenoccio : Well, I don't like it and I never will.
Julia Packett : Oh, Freddy, in a casino everybody talks to everybody else.
Fred Ghenoccio : Casino? You were gamblin'?
Julia Packett : Oh, well, just a few francs. You couldn't exactly call it gambling.
Col. Bruce 'Bunny' Willowbrook : Yes, and after she'd lost every franc of her own...
Fred Ghenoccio : Lost ever franc?
William Sylvester Packett : She loves roulette, Fred. Now, if she ever gets blue, give her a few thousand francs and send her off to the nearest casino. It's, uh, better than a new hat.
-
Col. Bruce 'Bunny' Willowbrook : Yes, yes. Well, I'm not concerned with your financial arrangements, but mine.
Julia Packett : Leave me your address and I'll send you the money you gave me.
Fred Ghenoccio : You took money from a strange man?
Julia Packett : Not... not a... not exactly.
Fred Ghenoccio : Well, you either took money or you didn't.
William Sylvester Packett : Freddy, think nothing of it. To Julia, money's of no importance. As fast as she gets it, she tosses it away. That's her charm.
Fred Ghenoccio : Well, it don't charm me.
-
William Sylvester Packett : I'm sure, sir, she would have repaid you immediately; but, well, she probably lost it just as fast as you gave it to her.
Col. Bruce 'Bunny' Willowbrook : But I didn't give her money in the casino. I gave it to her in the lingerie shop.
Fred Ghenoccio : The lingerie shop? What were you doing in a lingerie shop?
Julia Packett : Freddy, I'll explain all of this to you later.
William Sylvester Packett : If you will just give her time enough, Julia can explain anything.
Col. Bruce 'Bunny' Willowbrook : Yes, well, it's taken me two days to find her and hear her explanation now.
-
Fred Ghenoccio : What were you doing in a lingerie shop?
Julia Packett : I was buying a negligee.
Col. Bruce 'Bunny' Willowbrook : And a nightgown.
Fred Ghenoccio : What did you need a nightgown for?
Julia Packett : I didn't need a nightgown. I never wear a nightgown. I... I wear pajamas.
Col. Bruce 'Bunny' Willowbrook : Yes, well the man who brought her here ran away with all her clothes.
Fred Ghenoccio : A man brought you here? Another man?
Julia Packett : Freddy, believe me, there was nothing to the whole thing.
Fred Ghenoccio : A man brought you to this city and to you that's nothing.
Julia Packett : Oh, Freddy, you got me so upset I don't now what I'm saying.
-
Col. Bruce 'Bunny' Willowbrook : Well, all I want is my 6950 francs.
Fred Ghenoccio : 6900 francs?
Col. Bruce 'Bunny' Willowbrook : And 50. There's no reason now why I should pay for her nightgown.
Fred Ghenoccio : 6900 and 50 francs? What kind of a nightgown was this?

William Sylvester Packett : Oh, I don't believe a word of it. As well as I know Julia, I still do not believe a word of it.
Col. Bruce 'Bunny' Willowbrook : Well, I've got a hundred witnesses who saw her flirt with me in the casino, pick me up in the bar, lure me into a lingerie shop, and then sneak out the back entrance.
William Sylvester Packett : You cad!
Col. Bruce 'Bunny' Willowbrook : What, sir?
-
William Sylvester Packett : Are you sure you didn't say something or suggest something that might have offended her?
Col. Bruce 'Bunny' Willowbrook : Suggest something? When she told me she got nowhere to sleep, I offered her my hotel suite.
Fred Ghenoccio : Your hotel suite?
Julia Packett : I wasn't going there, Freddy. That's why I was going out the back door.
Fred Ghenoccio : Suppose there had been no back door?
William Sylvester Packett : Freddy, all shops have a back door.
