Sullivan's Travels (1941): Sullivan Makes Plans with Girl

The clip Sullivan makes plans with girl from Sullivan's Travels (1941)

Hello.
Hello. Tired?
No, no. I was just thinking.
Well, here we are at the end of the adventure.
I'll go down tonight and give them a little money, and that winds it up.
Now, what do you want to do?
Do you want to go home or take another crack at Hollywood?
Well, I...
with a nice, fat letter to Lubitsch?
I'd sort of like to... go where you go.
I mean, I'd sort of hoped that you'd...
Well, I mean, that you'd want us to go on together a little longer,
now that we kind of got used to each other.
Of course I would, if I wasn't married.
Who's married?
Didn't you know that? I thought everyone had heard of my misfortune.
Of course I didn't.
What do you mean?
As if I'd snatched you away from your loving grandmother.
Are you in love with her?
That vulture?
Then why did you marry her?
Income tax.
Income tax?
It was supposed to save me $24,000 a year.
It's what's called a joint return. It's California law.
Each one pays half, and the total is less than the aggregate surtax,
so the surtax is less than the something or other.
It was an idea of my business manager's.
I think it's disgusting.
It wasn't supposed to be romantic.
It was supposed to save me $12,000 a year, but it didn't.
Turned out she couldn't live on $12,000 a year.
Good.
Lovely. She had to have $24,000.
Good.
Don't keep saying "good" all the time, or I'll poke you in the nose.
Good.
Now, listen.
So I demanded the divorce she'd promised me.
And she told you to go fry an egg.
She said it would break her mother's heart.
Some fine advice your business manager gave you.
I found out why. He was getting half.
And you really can't get a divorce ever?
Never.
You can't get a divorce without collusion, and she won't collude.
I guess I ought to go home, then.
