Discussion about the swimming pool location
The Girl: [Sullivan and the girl are walking through his palatial mansion]
Where's the swimming pool? You must have a swimming pool.
John L. Sullivan:
Right out here.
John L. Sullivan:
Outside dining room, barbecue.
The Girl:
Hmm.
John L. Sullivan:
Pretty, isn't it?
The Girl:
Yeah.
John L. Sullivan:
There's the tennis court up there, grape arbor there, and the grove there. Well, I guess that's about all. What are you looking at me that way for?
John L. Sullivan: [falls into the swimming pool]
Ooh!
The Girl:
Hey, you big fathead!
John L. Sullivan:
What's the big idea?
The Girl:
That's for your swimming pools and your tennis courts and your limousines and your barbecues. That's for making fun of a poor girl who only tried to help you, you big faker!
John L. Sullivan:
Who made fun of you?
The Girl:
You did, with your stories of being a washed-up director, you big clunk!
John L. Sullivan:
Oh I did, did I?
Burrows:
Breakfast is served, sir.
