00:01:45How about something to eat, Dad?
00:01:47Again?
00:01:49Being out in the air all day is great when it makes you feel hungry.
00:01:52Thanks.
00:01:53Well, go ahead.
00:01:54You're not doing anything but scaring the fish away.
00:01:57You aren't doing so good yourself, Dad.
00:01:59Only got two.
00:02:01Here.
00:02:02Oh, thanks, Bill.
00:02:04Jelly.
00:02:05Walter made them last night.
00:02:07Well, we might as well sit down.
00:02:08We're not doing anything with this old fish here.
00:02:14Come on, Dad.
00:02:15Yes, Bill?
00:02:17You're a keen guy.
00:02:19What makes you say that, Bill, right out of a clear sky?
00:02:22Well, most dads, you know, they'd go off by themselves, play golf,
00:02:27and wouldn't take the time to take their kids fishing.
00:02:30Well, you see, I like fishing, and I enjoy being with you.
00:02:37I'm having a swell time, aren't you?
00:02:39Sure, you sure.
00:02:42Look, I'm going to catch it.
00:02:59Say, we're a couple of fine fishermen.
00:03:01Out all afternoon and only catch two fish.
00:03:05Three, Dad.
00:03:08Fish.
00:03:09Two.
00:03:10Fish.
00:03:11Fish.
00:03:12Fish.
00:03:13Oh, come together.
00:03:17After every kind of weather.
00:03:21The boys of today are men of tomorrow.
00:03:25Don't let your country come to taro.
00:03:29Fight, fight.
00:03:31Strong and for the right.
00:03:33Fight day and night.
00:03:37Father and son together.
00:03:41On rowing along.
00:03:43Singing out long.
00:03:45Father and son, my joy.
00:03:58Having whetted your appetite,
00:04:00as chairman of the awards committee
00:04:03of the Father and Son Association,
00:04:06I hereby announce the winner of the first prize
00:04:09in the junior division.
00:04:12For the best composition entitled,
00:04:14My Father, Gentlemen,
00:04:18I give you William Peck.
00:04:26There you are.
00:04:27First prize.
00:04:29Oh, gee.
00:04:38Come on, Bill.
00:04:39Get up.
00:04:40I can't make a speech.
00:04:42Of course you can.
00:04:43Say something, Bill.
00:04:44I don't know what to say.
00:04:46Come on, Bill.
00:04:47That's the boy.
00:04:50Go on, Bill.
00:04:51Go ahead.
00:04:52That a boy.
00:04:53Oh, gee.
00:04:54I can't make no speech.
00:04:56I don't know why they gave me the prize.
00:04:59I just got a swell dad and said so.
00:05:09And now, let us hear from the father,
00:05:13our esteemed fellow townsman, Henry Peck.
00:05:21We want Henry.
00:05:23We want Henry.
00:05:26Not on your life.
00:05:28Well, you made me get up.
00:05:30Come on.
00:05:31We want Henry.
00:05:32We want Henry.
00:05:33We want Henry.
00:05:39I, uh, I guess I'm kind of like Bill.
00:05:46Not much good at making speeches.
00:05:51And, uh, like him, I don't know why he got that prize.
00:05:58He probably copied the composition out of a book.
00:06:06Seriously, though, he's a regular kid.
00:06:12And I'm proud of him.
00:06:15A little mischievous, sure.
00:06:17But what real boy isn't?
00:06:20The trouble with us fathers nowadays is that we often get the wrong slant on this discipline business.
00:06:26We don't our kids to death.
00:06:28Don't do this and don't do that.
00:06:31Now, here's the way I look at it.
00:06:33If your boy has never climbed your neighbor's apple tree
00:06:37or driven a cow into someone's garden or broken a window,
00:06:44I'd say, well, put lace pants on him.
00:07:05Put your lace pants on, Henry?
00:07:07What do you mean, lace pants?
00:07:10You heard what my dad said, didn't you, about guys breaking windows?
00:07:29There's no lace pants on me!
00:07:33Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:07:37There's no lace pants on my son!
00:08:03Well, hiya, Duff!
00:08:06Hey, look, Duff, I copped the prize!
00:08:08Ha, ha, that's great, Bill, that's great.
00:08:11Where's your dad? I'll bet he's proud of you.
00:08:13I certainly am, but what are you doing here, Duffy, at this hour?
00:08:16Telegram came to the house. I thought it might be important.
00:08:19Look there, Duff, first award to William Peck.
00:08:21That's wonderful.
00:08:22That's gold, too, isn't it?
00:08:24Boy, oh, boy.
00:08:28Surely it's gold.
00:08:31Come on, son, we'll walk off that ice cream jack.
00:08:33Okay, Pop.
00:08:38You've, uh, you've never seen your Aunt Lily, have you, Bill?
00:08:42No, Dad, why?
00:08:44Well, I invited your Aunt Lily and her son to come and visit us for a while.
00:08:50Oh, how old is her son?
00:08:53Oh, about your age.
00:08:55Oh, about your age.
00:08:57You see, things have been going pretty hard with her since her husband died.
00:09:03So I thought it'd be kind of nice to have them come and stay with us until,
00:09:06until things got straightened out for them.
00:09:09Well, what's the kid's name, Dad?
00:09:14Horace.
00:09:17Horace?
00:09:21Oh, well, I guess we can call him Butch or something.
00:09:25Sure.
00:09:43Hey, aren't you in bed yet, Bill?
00:09:47Aren't you in bed yet, Bill?
00:09:50Oh.
00:09:53Oh.
00:09:58Love?
00:09:59Mm-hmm.
00:10:01Thanks, Bill.
00:10:02Oh.
00:10:05Say, looks as though we need a little feminine influence around here.
00:10:10Oh, I'll just go hang him up.
00:10:13Mm-hmm.
00:10:15Hey, Dad.
00:10:16Yes, Bill?
00:10:17How's Aunt Lily our relation?
00:10:19Is she your sister?
00:10:21No, your mother was Aunt Lily's sister.
00:10:25Oh.
00:10:27How old was I when Mother died?
00:10:29Oh, just a little bit of a shaver.
00:10:36Excuse me, Mama.
00:10:40How much do you think my cousin weighs, strip?
00:10:44You got me there.
00:10:51Jim could use a heavy guy on the line.
00:10:54Good night, Bill.
00:10:56Good night, Dad.
00:11:01Yeah, we can call him Butch.
00:11:04Butch.
00:11:11Night, Homer.
00:11:13See you in the morning.
00:11:15Mm-hmm.
00:11:29Hi, everybody.
00:11:30Hi, Bill.
00:11:32Oh, Duffy.
00:11:34I want you to get on with Mrs. Clay.
00:11:38Just don't talk too much.
00:11:40Me and women say I wrote a book about him once.
00:11:43In the first chapter on feminine poise.
00:11:45I know, I know.
00:11:47Oh, you've told me before.
00:11:55What did you say his name was?
00:11:57Oh, I call him Butch.
00:11:59Butch.
00:12:00Yeah.
00:12:01We need a big guy at the center.
00:12:09Come on, boys.
00:12:10Come on, Bill.
00:12:12I gotta go, Cutters.
00:12:13All right.
00:12:14Come on, Bill.
00:12:38Well, well, Lily.
00:12:41It's good to see you.
00:12:42Oh, Henry, you don't know what coming here means to us.
00:12:47Holy smoke.
00:12:49What did he say his name was?
00:12:51Butch.
00:12:52Uh-uh.
00:12:57And I suppose this is Billy.
00:13:03And this is Horace.
00:13:05How you doing, Uncle Henry?
00:13:06Glad to see you, Horace.
00:13:09Oh, hello, Horace.
00:13:11Glad to know you, Bill.
00:13:13Oh, Duffy, will you get those bags?
00:13:15Yeah.
00:13:16And will you carry wee toy, Billy dear?
00:13:33If that guy's name's Butch, mine's Clarabelle.
00:13:37It's Naomi Esrae.
00:13:57Well, Lily, here we are.
00:14:00What a beautiful home.
00:14:02Oh, Henry, it's so kind of you to share it with us.
00:14:10Oh, Lily, this is Martha.
00:14:13Martha.
00:14:29I don't know what to say.
00:14:31I feel so grateful I could cry.
00:14:34Oh, don't be silly.
00:14:36All we want you to do is to consider yourself at home
00:14:39as long as you're here with us.
00:14:43Is that all you want now, Mr. Perry?
00:14:46That's all, Martha.
00:14:53Now, Bill, you better take Elmer outdoors.
00:14:56Outdoors?
00:14:57After all, he's not a house dog.
00:14:59Oh, he'll feel insulted.
00:15:01He's always been in the house.
00:15:02Now, don't you see that you've got Aunt Lily upset?
00:15:04Take him out.
00:15:16Wee toy will be used to Elmer in no time.
00:15:19Why, tomorrow they'll probably be playing together.
00:15:22I don't think so, Billy dear.
00:15:24Wee toy has never liked big dogs.
00:15:28Oh, uh, supporting you boys tackle that luggage.
00:15:31And Bill, you show Horace his room.
00:15:34All right, Dad.
00:15:35Come on, Horace.
00:15:41Oh, it's such a lovely house, Henry.
00:15:53It's really adorable.
00:15:59This is yours.
00:16:15Gee, your room's great.
00:16:19Yeah.
00:16:22Here's my alarm clock.
00:16:25My radio.
00:16:30I won that writing a composition about my dad.
00:16:36I've been through a great deal, Henry.
00:16:39But at least I can be proud of my boy, Horace.
00:16:42I've made every sacrifice and will gladly continue to,
00:16:47if necessary, to bring Horace up as a perfect gentleman.
00:16:52You've done very well, Lily.
00:16:54William seems like a nice boy, too.
00:16:57Oh, he's a grandkid.
00:16:59A little deadly sometimes, but always regular.
00:17:03I'm so glad.
00:17:05Really, I am, especially for William's sake.
00:17:08You've been so good to him, Henry.
00:17:11He doesn't know, does he?
00:17:15No, no, no, no, no.
00:17:18You see, he is my son as far as I'm concerned,
00:17:22just as much as if he were my own flesh and blood.
00:17:26And I know how he feels about me, too.
00:17:29He thinks I'm a swell dad, and I try to be just because he thinks so.
00:17:34I'm so glad that you feel that way about him.
00:17:38Horace doesn't know, does he?
00:17:40Why, of course not.
00:17:43And you certainly don't think he'd tell if he did.
00:17:47No, but I guess it's safer this way.
00:17:51Got ants under my microscope.
00:17:54You have?
00:18:00I certainly like your room.
00:18:04You wouldn't want to change with me, would you?
00:18:07Are you kidding?
00:18:09I should say not.
00:18:11Mine's right next to my dad's over there.
00:18:13I wouldn't change for no money in the world.
00:18:16Horace, dear, it's only natural that Billy should have a better room,
00:18:20and only natural that he should want to keep it.
00:18:23We mustn't expect too much.
00:18:25You don't want to be stealthy, like other little boys.
00:18:33Take Horace out and have him meet the boys.
00:18:36First thing you want to do is to join Bill's gang.
00:18:40What's the name of the club now?
00:18:43Oh, the Excelsior Club.
00:18:44It's the most exclusive club in town.
00:18:48Come on, Horace.
00:18:50Do you stutter?
00:18:52No, of course not.
00:18:55So long, Dad.
00:18:57So long, kids.
00:18:58See you tonight.
00:19:00Hey, come on, Horace.
00:19:01Bye, Uncle Henry.
00:19:05Come on, Horace.
00:19:18Next week's school starts, so we might as well have all the fun we can.
00:19:21Oh, I don't know.
00:19:22School's not so good.
00:19:24Yeah.
00:19:30Hey, you good boy.
00:19:32What do you think of Elmer?
00:19:34He's a funny-looking mutt.
00:19:36Mutt nothing.
00:19:37Why, Duffy says that he's a thoroughbred Mongrelian.
00:19:41Yeah, but what does Duffy know about it?
00:19:44Oh, Duffy's a swell guy.
00:19:46He's a scholar, too.
00:19:47You mean he goes to school?
00:19:49Oh, no.
00:19:50He's too old to go to school.
00:19:52But that's what he always says.
00:19:53He's a gentleman and a scholar.
00:19:56Why, is he dead?
00:19:58He's a gentleman and a scholar.
00:20:00What does he do for a living?
00:20:02Oh, he works for Dad off and on.
00:20:04What's that stuff for you?
00:20:06Here today and gone tomorrow.
00:20:08Sound like a trap to me.
00:20:10Oh, not him.
00:20:11Well, he'll tell you.
00:20:12He's been every place and done everything, and, well, there's where he lives.
00:20:17And that dump?
00:20:19Well, that's just sort of temporary.
00:20:22If our financial position is found, why did we have any presents?
00:20:26The monetary system.
00:20:28What's the matter?
00:20:30He's got somebody in there with him.
00:20:32And in closing, friends and radio listeners,
00:20:35I want to emphasize that my sentiments have been perfectly expressed
00:20:40by that upper-class American, Abraham Lincoln.
00:20:43This is a government of the people, by the people, and for the people.
00:20:49I thank you.
00:20:51You took the words right out of my mouth, Al.
00:20:54Hiya, Dad.
00:20:55Hello there, Bill.
00:20:58Come on in.
00:21:02I, uh, I was just coming up to your place.
00:21:05Hello, Horace.
00:21:06How do you do, Mr. Duffy?
00:21:08Playing Duffy to my friends, son.
00:21:11Let's go.
00:21:15Hey, Duffy, what were you arguing with the radio for?
00:21:18Keeps me up on my oratory.
00:21:21Might have to run for office again.
00:21:24Duffy, I never knew you held an office.
00:21:26Sure.
00:21:27I was unanimously elected governor of New Mexico back in 1892, as well.
00:21:35Hey, New Mexico wasn't admitted to the Union until 1912.
00:21:40It wasn't even a state.
00:21:42Who said it was a state?
00:21:44I was territorial governor.
00:21:46Territories don't elect governors.
00:21:48They're appointed.
00:21:50Who said anything about being elected?
00:21:52You did.
00:21:53You all must have misheard me.
00:21:57Pretty quick in the uptake, ain't you, son?
00:21:59Huh?
00:22:00Kind of smart.
00:22:01I'm in the eighth grade.
00:22:03That's fine, Horace.
00:22:04You go right ahead.
00:22:05Don't let nothing stop you.
00:22:07Schooling's a great thing.
00:22:10I'm a Harvard man myself.
00:22:12What's the capital of New York?
00:22:15Albany.
00:22:17Anybody knows that?
00:22:19What's the capital of Illinois?
00:22:21Springfield.
00:22:22That's where Lincoln lived.
00:22:24What's the capital of Oregon?
00:22:27Oregon?
00:22:28Oregon?
00:22:31Why, golly, you got me there.
00:22:32I never did get to Oregon.
00:22:34I know all the capitals, and they've only been in one state.
00:22:37Well, Doug, wasn't you a lumberjack in Oregon?
00:22:40No, that was Washington.
00:22:43Oh, yeah, I remember.
00:22:44Washington.
00:22:45Then what's the capital of...
00:22:47Hi, Bill!
00:22:48Horace!
00:22:49Come on!
00:22:55Hiya, fellas!
00:22:58I'll see you later.
00:23:00Fellas, this is my cousin, and he wants to join the club.
00:23:04Horace, this is Brad.
00:23:06Hi.
00:23:07This is Max.
00:23:08Joey.
00:23:09Hello.
00:23:10Tom.
00:23:11Kewpie.
00:23:12Kewpie?
00:23:13That's a funny name.
00:23:15What's yours?
00:23:16Horace.
00:23:17Horace Clay.
00:23:18Oh, Horace, I'll slap you on the wrist.
00:23:20Pick up a dandelion.
00:23:22Pick up a dandelion?
00:23:24What for?
00:23:25Go on, do as you're told.
00:23:34Excelsior!
00:23:35Excelsior!
00:23:37Hey, what's the idea?
00:23:39You gotta do it, Horace.
00:23:41That's initiation.
00:23:42Well, you're not gonna initiate me that way.
00:23:45That's the rules.
00:23:46Sure, everybody goes through the middle before they can be a member.
00:23:50Oh, it's dumb if you ask me.
00:23:52You wanna be a member, don't you?
00:23:54Yeah, but I'm not gonna be made a fool of.
00:23:57Oh, come on, Horace!
00:23:58Be a regular guy.
00:23:59We're all going swimming after.
00:24:01I don't wanna go swimming.
00:24:03Ah, forget him!
00:24:04Let's go swimming!
00:24:05I bet your cousin would like to play a nice game of tiddlywinks.
00:24:09Oh, you guys got him all wrong.
00:24:11He's all right.
00:24:12Maybe he's homesick or something.
00:24:15Last one in the creek's name's Clarabelle.
00:24:18Hey, wait for me!
00:24:19Come on!
00:24:32Horace, what's the matter, dear?
00:24:34Nothing's the matter.
00:24:36Well, what's happened?
00:24:37Tell mother.
00:24:39I told you nothing.
00:24:41Why aren't you out playing with Billy?
00:24:44He don't wanna play with me.
00:24:46Well, what about the other boys?
00:24:48You told them not to play with me.
00:24:51Why?
00:24:52How should I know?
00:24:54Horace, how can you speak to me in that manner?
00:24:58Then why do you ask me so many questions?
00:25:01Because, darling, I'm just trying to help you.
00:25:05You see, when you're unhappy, mother is miserable.
00:25:12Heck!
00:25:13Just leave him to me.
00:25:17You know, dear, you have just as much right in this house as he has.
00:25:30Put on over five pounds, and that's over a pound a week.
00:25:35But they are the best waffles I ever ate.
00:25:38With my special recipe.
00:25:40Will you have another cup of coffee?
00:25:42It's a rare thing, Lily, to find a woman who can make a decent cup of coffee.
00:25:46Well, it's a rare thing to find a man who can appreciate a cup of coffee when he gets it.
00:25:59Billy, dear, don't do that.
00:26:02What are you up to now?
00:26:04Cut that out, Elmer!
00:26:07Billy, you know that isn't very fair to the animal.
00:26:10If you keep feeding him at the table, he'll continue to expect it, and you know that isn't very nice.
00:26:15I thought I told you to keep that dog outside.
00:26:18Well, you didn't say all the time.
00:26:21Billy, that sounded terribly fresh.
00:26:24Oh, I didn't mean it that way.
00:26:26I'm sure you didn't.
00:26:28But it sounded dreadful.
00:26:32Hey, what do you got there?
00:26:35What?
00:26:36You know where. In your pocket.
00:26:39What pocket?
00:26:40In your pants pocket.
00:27:01Horace.
00:27:02Yes, Mother?
00:27:03Let me see your handkerchief.
00:27:06That's better.
00:27:08Billy, why can't you throw that soiled handkerchief in that laundry bag and take another?
00:27:14Oh, I only got it out yesterday.
00:27:16Will you please do what Aunt Lily says?
00:27:20What do you got in that bottle?
00:27:22Ants.
00:27:23My goodness, take them away! Take them away!
00:27:25Throw that stuff out.
00:27:27Oh, but I've been studying them.
00:27:29And I've been feeding them for months.
00:27:31Feeding ants?
00:27:33You take that junk and dump it out in the ash can and come back here.
00:27:37What about the two bottles of ants in your room, Bill?
00:27:40Now, listen.
00:27:41You go right up and get them and dump them out with the rest of this junk.
00:27:48Dirty little snitch.
00:27:50Come on, Elmer.
00:27:51Yes, Mr. Horace.
00:27:52Just keep what you want me to do here.
00:27:54Oh, Billy, dear.
00:27:55As long as you're going upstairs, we can take Horace and sit with you.
00:28:04You mustn't be too harsh with him, Henry.
00:28:06He's only a child.
00:28:10Well, after all, Horace has had a mother's care.
00:28:15Miss Martha, you may take the plates out, but leave the coffee.
00:28:18That's the way I always does it, Miss Lily.
00:28:25Martha doesn't seem to catch on very quickly, does she?
00:28:28I catch on to some things mighty quickly, Miss Lily.
00:28:36Oh, dear.

00:30:27And you too, Billy dear Oh
00:30:30Bill
00:30:33Just a minute
00:30:35Sit down
00:30:38Excuse me, please
00:30:47Bill I
00:30:51Maybe I shouldn't have given you that call down before Aunt Lily and Horace
00:30:57That's all right
00:31:00Something's licking the tar out of you
00:31:03What's doing it?
00:31:06You can't tell me that
00:31:10You're not pulling well with Horace are you?
00:31:14You not only refused to play with him, but you influenced the rest of the gang point him I
00:31:22Can't help it if they don't like him. I don't see why not
00:31:26Maybe he's not like the other boys you play with but he seemed like a good kid
00:31:31And he's smart too
00:31:38The trouble is
00:31:41You don't try to understand him bill
00:31:45Now it's up to you to get along with him
00:31:47You've got to bear with him as long as he and Aunt Lily are living with us
00:31:53No, I don't like your attitude
00:31:56As we we don't seem to get together at all anymore
00:32:00You know as well as I do that ever since aunt Lily's been here why she's done everything in her power
00:32:06To make things pleasant for us
00:32:29I
00:33:00I
00:33:06Think that a guy who's president of the Excelsior Club
00:33:10Could handle a little situation like this
00:33:14Don't you?
00:33:15I'll tell you dad. I try to be friends with him, but
00:33:20You can't tell me about kids they're all alike
00:33:24Scrapping one minute and friends the next
00:33:28You know the trouble with you you're trying to make a mountain out of a molehill
00:33:34Now beat it upstairs and get ready for church step on it, will you
00:33:57Oh
00:33:59Oh
00:34:25Hey Horace, will you get out of my room?
00:34:29Sort of a dirty trick on you and I want to tell you about it. You can't tell me anything
00:34:34Well, I had a talk with dad and I told him that you can't tell me anything
00:34:40I'm coming mother
00:34:43Oh
00:34:56Horace
00:35:12I
00:35:42I
00:36:13I'm going out
00:36:30Well, it's keeping him in his room all afternoon do any good
00:36:34He wouldn't say anything except that and he didn't do it. I don't know what's gotten into him
00:36:42He never lied to me before
00:36:46Playing a trick like that on me
00:36:50Why don't you let me try to work it out I
00:36:55Want you to be happy Henry
00:36:58And I might be able to
00:37:00That may be a good idea Lily
00:37:03We'll talk about it later
00:37:06I'm going over to see what in there a few minutes on business. I'll see you at the theater at 7
00:37:24I
00:37:27I
00:37:34What do you want
00:37:36Just wanted to tell you the gang was around asking for him. I told him he couldn't come out
00:37:41You'll keep your nose out of my business now beat it
00:37:46Certainly like this room
00:37:48Won't forget it cuz it won't do you no good. I
00:37:52Was just thinking
00:37:54You'll trade rooms with me. I'll tell uncle Henry the truth about the end. You keep quiet
00:37:59You mean enough trouble between dad and me already?
00:38:01Why don't you and your mother get wise to yourselves and pack up and go home. Why don't you get wise to yourself?
00:38:06We're here to stay
00:38:09You ought to know by now that nobody wants you. You don't belong here. We have as much right here as you have back more
00:38:15Well, you have huh? Yes, we have. How do you figure that out?
00:38:21Well, don't what I care
00:38:24At least I've got a mother. I know who my father was. I know who my father is
00:38:29What do you think you cut that out cousin? I know cousin. I'll take a suckage. You're not my cousin
00:38:35You're no relation to any of us. You're an orphan. They got you out of an orphan's home. Oh, you're goofy
00:38:40Am I well, I can prove it. You don't believe me. Ask my mother
00:38:46Why don't you find out for yourself then find out if it isn't true find out if they didn't get you from an orphan asylum
00:38:51Ask your dad
00:38:54I
00:39:24Do
00:39:27In cooking all my life without a receipt book and then she come along
00:39:33Two teaspoons of vanilla
00:39:47What's dead Martha hmm, oh, it's you
00:39:51What's there and your dad
00:40:01Are you sure
00:40:03Is that sure if I ever lied to you? Oh, I mean, we don't need this up now
00:40:09How should I know when he'd be back?
00:40:11How should I know and don't start out of me? I got too much on my mind now
00:40:16What we put their current jail
00:40:21How
00:40:23Long you've been with dad me Martha. Oh near about 15 years long for you born, sonny
00:40:30Then you must have been here when I was born
00:40:35We wasn't here then was living in Greeley
00:40:42Then you do remember why of course I remember child
00:40:45I've got a memory like an innocent Billy, honey
00:40:48You were the cutest pinkest prettiest little baby. I ever saw and your mammy daddy sure was crazy about you and I was too
00:40:57Ain't that trouble?
00:40:58Yes, but go on now get on out of the way get on out get
00:41:15I've been talking somebody's been talking to
00:41:45I
00:42:03There bill
00:42:05Where's what you mean?
00:42:09Well, what's your clarabella it's all the same go to the end sluggard
00:42:15We
00:42:17Have the pleasure of your company go fishing for bullhead. Mr. William Peck. No, thank you. I don't care to go fish
00:42:45I
00:43:07Ever in asylum
00:43:09Yeah
00:43:11That ain't nice I don't like that accusing the man of my standing with being in a crazy house
00:43:21Oh, you'll be an orphan home
00:43:27I didn't get you right on account of us
00:43:33To me sure speak your mind
00:43:40If a kid's born in an orphan home, how does he find out well
00:43:47You see when me and my three brothers and two sisters was all off
00:43:52We was in an orphan home and I was quite a character
00:43:56As a matter of fact a fellow wrote a play about my brother and me
00:43:59You ever hear about it? It was called the two off
00:44:05Well, did you find out as I started to tell you
00:44:11Skip it
00:44:17Well, I want those flowers for her corsage, I'll be getting them soon when I'm through here
00:44:22Well, you better get him now, you know, what's good for you?
00:44:33Here he is mother I told him but he wouldn't do it
00:44:37Mr. Duffy, what about my flowers? Yes, ma'am. I was just going out
00:44:42Well, I should think you'd have plenty of time before this
00:44:46No, ma'am
00:44:47The later you pick them the longer they last
00:44:51Seems to me that instead of wasting your time building dog houses, you might apply yourself to the garden with better results
00:44:58Well since you're feeling that way about it, maybe I ought to tell you I'm building the house on my own time
00:45:03You needn't be insolent about it
00:45:06I don't mean to be insolent lady
00:45:10Mr. Duffy
00:45:12We won't need you here anymore
00:45:14Well, that's all right, but you know
00:45:17Mr. Peck he hired me and I kind of think it's up to him to fire me. You're discharged, you know
00:45:23Mrs. Vanderbilt tried to fire me once
00:45:25But I got to reasoning with her in a couple of minutes. She said to me
00:45:31Duffy I beg your pardon
00:45:34Go back to them horses now if you want to apologize
00:45:48Oh, well, there was no future here anyway
00:46:03I
00:46:33I
00:47:03I
00:47:33Wanna push for nothing, you know, look at it
00:48:03I
00:48:34I
00:48:44I'll say one thing for Duffy. Don't you a dog house anyway?
00:48:49He's that fresh with my mother and she fired him he's leaving in the morning
00:48:54I
00:48:59Think we missed those cock and bull stories of his nobody asked you to come and listen to him
00:49:04I wouldn't want to waste my time on a class like that
00:49:08Why I don't see me stuck with 40% in an arithmetic examination
00:49:15Well that you're doing pretty good for a kid who comes from an orphan asylum
00:49:24You take that back or I'll shock you one
00:49:33You better learn to duck
00:49:37Hey bill, what is this?
00:49:42Well, this is a fine mess
00:49:45What's this all about young man and I assured uncle Henry it would be perfectly safe to leave you two alone
00:49:52I'm ashamed of you
00:49:54You especially hard. You don't know how you hurt mother and I thought I could trust you
00:50:01I'm sorry mother. I'm sorry uncle Henry
00:50:10You're all smeared with blood you're a sight go in and wash up come Billy
00:50:16Well, at least you might be civil to aunt Lily
00:50:18Don't have me please. He didn't mean it. Did you believe me?
00:50:23Why don't you answer
00:50:27You apologize to aunt Lily I won't apologize. Well, what do you mean by that? I want to apologize. That's all
00:50:35Now that isn't all
00:50:37Listen, this is serious. Either you do what I say bill or we're through
00:50:44If what if what I can't understand you at all anymore
00:50:49If what what are you talking about?
00:50:53You're not the boy that I could talk to man to man
00:51:03You kind of private life
00:51:05I don't know what you're talking about. I don't know what you're talking about
00:51:09Dad could I have a little talk with you kind of private life
00:51:14Now what is all this privacy about?
00:51:16Aunt Lily is just as much interest in you as I am
00:51:19Anything you've got to say to me you can say before her
00:51:26Don't be stubborn Billy dear well, what have you got to say for yourself?
00:51:34I'm going to bed
00:51:39I
00:51:45Think it's something
00:52:09I
00:52:39I
00:52:45Say here's a funny one. Can you imagine me there with a mustache?
00:52:50I
00:53:07Don't want me I don't want them
00:53:20I
00:53:50I
00:54:20I
00:54:50I
00:55:20I
00:55:50I
00:56:21Oh, what's up now tell them
00:56:29That ain't no way to act
00:56:33Come on snap out of it
00:56:51That reminds me, you know, I ran away once myself when I was a kid about your age
00:56:58Went to see in a foremaster going around the horn
00:57:02Let me see. It wasn't 61 or 62
00:57:06I
00:57:17Remember it like it was yesterday. We were tracked or something and generally rolled up and he says to me
00:57:24Duff he says
00:57:30You're just imagining that son
00:57:36I'm surprised that you've taken him so serious like that. Why I ain't never seen a father and son so close
00:58:07You
00:58:17Come on
00:58:21Did I ever tell you of the time I was cooking for the key
00:58:25It was during the Boer War in South Africa, he will have swell times together
00:58:31You're sure you want to go bill
00:58:33You
00:58:35Said I could go with you didn't you?
00:58:39This clay said some things to me I didn't like
00:58:42You didn't see me run away and hang my head. No, sir. I gave her a chance to apologize and then I walked
00:58:49like that
00:58:56Bill
00:58:57If you want to be a success in life, don't run away from your problems
00:59:02Where would Dempsey be if he was afraid of Big Jess Willard or
00:59:06Lindbergh be if he was afraid to cross the Atlantic Ocean or
00:59:11President Roosevelt if he was afraid to tackle the depression
00:59:15Come on let's get going
00:59:26How dare you talk to me that way get out and stay out mr. Peck, I'm quitting right now, what's the trouble Oh Henry
00:59:33I'm so sorry. You leave Martha to me. What is it Martha? Yeah, I'm going right now this woman ever since she's been here
00:59:41Nothing but trouble trouble trouble what's going on? That's right. Ask her. She's running this place running you
00:59:48But she ain't gonna run me
00:59:50She's even trying to run your own boy out of this house. Oh
00:59:55I'm so embarrassed. I I don't know what to say. Where's bill? I
01:00:02Don't know Henry up in his room
01:00:08Oh bill
01:00:11Good morning, uncle Henry. Where's bill? I don't know uncle Henry. What's going on here? We changed rooms
01:00:18When did that happen? Only yesterday Henry
01:00:22Why did you do it Lily? Well, you know, we discussed it yesterday
01:00:26You agreed with me that it might do Bill some good if I I know but
01:00:30At least you might have let me talk to him about it. I
01:00:34Don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know
01:00:37I know but at least you might have let me talk to him about it first
01:00:50This bed hasn't been slept in he hasn't been here all night
01:00:56Where is he where could he have gone? Well, there's no sense standing here talking about it. I
01:01:03I
01:01:06Want you to but not to stay I want you to go back and clean up
01:01:13Don't you see?
01:01:15along
01:01:16In my inner kid that won't fight for his rights ain't worth assault
01:01:22I'll bet you're running away. I'll select you
01:01:25He didn't lick me and I ain't running away because of that neither
01:01:29Well, it's certainly gonna look like it
01:01:34You don't believe that do you don't know
01:01:40When Horace tells the gang that he licked you what are they gonna think if you ain't here to defend yourself?
01:01:45Oh, they won't even listen to him
01:01:49I'll bet you are on the way cause Horace licked you
01:01:54You think so you think so tough well, I'll show you
