00:01:55 Do you have anything on the 1210?
00:02:20 How many?
00:02:21 Nothing on the 1210, I'm afraid.
00:02:23 But I can put you on the Grand Canyon Airways at 1230,
00:02:25 if you don't mind a local.
00:02:26 Where's that to?
00:02:27 Same place, Los Angeles.
00:02:28 All right.
00:02:29 Round trip?
00:02:30 One way.
00:02:31 Name?
00:02:32 Collins.
00:02:33 Joseph H. Collins.
00:02:36 Is it in yet?
00:02:37 It's pulling in now.
00:02:38 I want to make a phone call.
00:02:39 On the other side of the news, sir.
00:02:42 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:02:46 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:02:50 [BEEPING]
00:03:02 [BUZZING]
00:03:15 [PHONE RINGING]
00:03:18 Hello?
00:03:30 David, where are you?
00:03:32 I left a note there on the table.
00:03:34 But it occurred to me you might--
00:03:36 might think I'd gone off to do something foolish.
00:03:38 It's nothing like that.
00:03:40 It's just that I--
00:03:42 well, I couldn't stand it any longer.
00:03:44 I'll have to figure out another way of living without you.
00:03:47 That's all.
00:03:49 Where are you, David?
00:03:50 Please.
00:03:52 Just tell the kids that I was called away suddenly on a case.
00:03:56 I'll work out some other explanation when I've had a chance to think things over.
00:04:00 Just don't let them know yet.
00:04:03 Where are you going?
00:04:06 I'll let you know when I get there.
00:04:08 Tell them it looked like a rather long case.
00:04:10 Then they won't begin asking questions until we've got our story set.
00:04:14 Will you do that?
00:04:17 Oh, Dave, darling, please.
00:04:20 Will you do it?
00:04:23 Of course.
00:04:25 But, David, don't go away.
00:04:29 Please don't.
00:04:32 Why not?
00:04:34 You don't think you'll be lonely for long, do you?
00:04:37 Dave, Dave.
00:04:40 Haven't you ever made one mistake in your life?
00:04:44 It's no use, Janie. I didn't call to argue the matter again,
00:04:47 particularly over a public phone.
00:04:49 Just look out for the kids, that's all.
00:04:52 I'll let you hear from me in a day or so.
00:04:54 Good night.
00:04:57 [door closes]
00:05:00 [door opens]
00:05:03 [door closes]
00:05:31 Attention, please.
00:05:33 Grand Canyon Airways, flight 1011 for Los Angeles.
00:05:39 Some trouble?
00:05:40 Oh, no, just in late, that's all.
00:05:42 Is it the weather?
00:05:43 What's wrong with the weather?
00:05:45 How should I know what's wrong with the weather? That's what I'm asking you.
00:05:47 You come in late, you go out late.
00:05:59 You think it's all right to fly in all this rain?
00:06:02 No, I don't think the rain matters.
00:06:04 Not even at night?
00:06:05 No, I don't think so.
00:06:07 But how do they keep from bumping into each other?
00:06:10 I don't know exactly, but they must have some way worked out.
00:06:14 You really think they know what they're doing?
00:06:19 I'm sure they do.
00:06:20 And if there's any danger, I'm sure they wouldn't send us out.
00:06:24 I hope you're right.
00:06:27 This will be my first time up.
00:06:29 I certainly wouldn't want it to be my last.
00:06:32 [indistinct chatter]
00:06:46 I'll just have a cup of coffee.
00:06:53 [indistinct chatter]
00:06:56 You mind?
00:07:09 No, not at all.
00:07:11 - Can I take your coat? - Thanks.
00:07:13 - Can I have a cup of coffee? - Yeah.
00:07:15 Maybe some coffee will make me feel better.
00:07:18 You're not really scared, are you?
00:07:21 I'd be okay if I could only figure out one thing.
00:07:23 - What's that? - What holds it up there?
00:07:26 What do you care? That's their business.
00:07:28 They can't blame you no matter what happens.
00:07:31 You mean they can't sue me even if it falls?
00:07:33 They can't. And I'm a lawyer, too.
00:07:36 What am I worried about?
00:07:38 Let's have a wedge of pie with that coffee, huh?
00:07:41 Would you people mind if the gentleman sat at this table, too?
00:07:47 No, go ahead.
00:07:49 [imitates dog barking]
00:07:51 I beg your pardon.
00:07:53 Don't mind me, lady. I'm just practicing. I'm an ex-wolf.
00:07:56 - Coffee for me, doll baby. - Same for me, please.
00:07:59 You just come in on flight 101-1?
00:08:03 I'll say, like we was on a rollie coaster.
00:08:06 What do you mean?
00:08:07 The last 50 miles upside down.
00:08:10 Is he kidding?
00:08:11 It was a little bumpy.
00:08:13 A little bumpy?
00:08:14 Get this. Just outside of Chicago, we hit an air pocket.
00:08:17 We must have dropped 1,000 feet.
00:08:19 We're all strapped in, see, but the hostess ain't.
00:08:22 She hits the ceiling with the top of her permanent.
00:08:24 She must have hung there for five minutes.
00:08:26 I can see the papers tomorrow already, among those identified.
00:08:30 Pardon me for asking, but is that supposed to be funny?
00:08:33 - No, not very. - I'm afraid I don't think it's funny at all.
00:08:36 Joking about people might get killed.
00:08:38 This is this young lady's first flight.
00:08:41 I didn't mean to scare you, lady. I was just clowning around a little.
00:08:44 Let's not clown about this one till we get there.
00:08:47 The pilot's a personal friend of mine.
00:08:49 This guy hates his wife so much, he's not gonna take that airplane...
00:08:52 two feet off the ground if he thinks there's any chance of her collecting his insurance.
00:08:56 Telephone call for Mr. Trask.
00:08:59 Will Mr. David Trask please report to ticket counter for telephone call?
00:09:05 You're a traveling salesman, aren't you?
00:09:09 How did you guess?
00:09:11 I don't know. I guess the way you kid around, maybe.
00:09:14 Salesmen always kid a lot.
00:09:17 I bet I can guess what you are, too.
00:09:20 - What? - A doctor.
00:09:23 - That's right. - Hey, what about him?
00:09:25 He told me already. He's a lawyer.
00:09:27 You don't waste any time, huh, Jack?
00:09:29 - Hey, how do you do it? - I don't know.
00:09:33 Just sort of a knack, I guess.
00:09:35 I like to figure out about people.
00:09:38 - You wanna know something else? - What?
00:09:40 - You're all married. - Does it show from here?
00:09:43 Aren't you?
00:09:45 I am.
00:09:47 I'm good and married.
00:09:49 - Aren't you? - Yes.
00:09:52 I knew it. I can pick a married man from as far as I can see him.
00:09:56 Unfortunately.
00:09:58 You want me to guess what you are?
00:10:00 I don't know whether I do or not.
00:10:02 - You're an actress, aren't you? - Thank you, Doc.
00:10:05 - You scared me there for a minute. - Musical comedy?
00:10:08 Musical comedy and nightclubs.
00:10:10 - Hey, no kidding. What do you do? Sing and dance? - Both.
00:10:13 Did any of you happen to see "Let's Go"? That was a show in New York.
00:10:16 I saw it about a year ago, wasn't it? Were you in that?
00:10:19 Don't you remember?
00:10:21 Let me see.
00:10:23 Thank you so much, Daddy.
00:10:26 Pardon?
00:10:28 That's the name of the song I sang, "Thank you so much, Daddy."
00:10:32 I remember it. I saw it with Mrs. Trask last March at the Majestic Theater.
00:10:37 - You remember my routine? - Of course.
00:10:40 Let me tell you about this number.
00:10:43 This is the only song I got in the show.
00:10:45 Then out of town some head-shrinker wants to throw it out.
00:10:48 Then I got this idea. And, brother, from then on, it was in but good.
00:10:51 - Yeah? What'd you do with it? - I did a strip with it.
00:10:55 - Don't you remember? - I remember it.
00:10:59 And you forget a beautiful song like that?
00:11:02 [Rain]
00:11:05 - No, ma'am. - Not on that one either.
00:11:23 We've only got three more flights out of here tonight...
00:11:26 and there's no reservation in the name of Trask on any of them.
00:11:29 Mm-hmm.
00:11:31 [Rain]
00:11:34 All right, snap it up, folks, before they change their minds again.
00:11:41 Oh, I'm terribly sorry.
00:11:44 - Dr. Fortin. - Thank you.
00:11:47 - A binky gay. - Thank you.
00:11:57 Thank you.
00:12:01 Uh...
00:12:04 - You mind if I hang on to you? - No, of course not.
00:12:08 If it'll make you feel any better.
00:12:11 [Laughing]
00:12:16 I got a million of 'em.
00:12:19 Babies fly nowadays like I was crawling from the dining room into the kitchen.
00:12:24 I just feel my hands. They're absolutely clammy.
00:12:27 Why do you do it if it scares you so?
00:12:30 Well, a train's too slow for the way I feel.
00:12:34 I've been away for over a year now.
00:12:45 You know how it is when you get that old feeling?
00:12:47 I can't get back to 'em fast enough.
00:12:50 Hey, we're moving.
00:12:55 We were rolling out to take off.
00:12:58 Did you get a long run in that show?
00:13:08 A little lousy. I died in six weeks.
00:13:11 What did you do then?
00:13:13 Not much of anything. That's why I'm going back.
00:13:16 - You heard of success stories, haven't you? - Hmm.
00:13:19 Well, me, I'm different. I'm a no-success story.
00:13:22 Didn't you ever try for another show?
00:13:25 Sure, all of 'em.
00:13:27 I even auditioned for Rodgers and Hammerstein a couple of months ago...
00:13:30 for Mary Martin's part in South Pacific.
00:13:32 What did they say?
00:13:34 "Thanks very much."
00:13:36 I'm really surprised. I thought you were very good.
00:13:39 I should have thought you'd be a great success after that.
00:13:42 Thanks. Not after the way I got started.
00:13:45 I may have thought I was a singer, but after that show I was strictly a stripper, and that's all.
00:13:49 Not that I got anything against stripping.
00:13:52 But for the real deal, you gotta be able to keep 'em on.
00:13:55 Take Dinah Shaw, for instance.
00:13:57 She could sing in a Persian rug and it'd be all right.
00:14:00 Hey, we stopped.
00:14:02 We've reached the runway again.
00:14:04 Besides, if you gotta take 'em off when you sing, there's just so far you can go.
00:14:12 Then, boom, the cops are chasing you off the back fence.
00:14:16 [ Engine Revving ]
00:14:18 Will you let me hold your hand?
00:14:28 Hey.
00:14:34 [ Clears Throat ]
00:14:36 Hey, Doc. The counselor's quite a fast operator, huh?
00:14:40 [ Engine Revving ]
00:14:42 Well?
00:15:01 Okay so far.
00:15:03 Do you go through life like this?
00:15:06 Worrying, you mean?
00:15:08 Worrying unnecessarily.
00:15:10 About things that you can't do anything about.
00:15:13 Well, I don't know how unnecessary it is,
00:15:15 but airplanes get a very high priority on my worrying list.
00:15:18 You know, I doubt if there's anything more consistently uncomfortable
00:15:21 than a fine, modern, luxury airliner.
00:15:23 But the New York subway scares me more.
00:15:26 There's one very important thing you forget about the subway.
00:15:28 In case anything happens, the most you can follow is up.
00:15:31 - Do you ever meet a stripper? - No, never.
00:15:34 Well, I go to burlesque down there, you know, just to kind of keep up on the technique.
00:15:37 But I never thought I'd meet one socially. [ Laughs ]
00:15:40 Hey, you know, you never can tell.
00:15:42 I was reading in one of these movie magazines the other day,
00:15:44 you know, about the big star. I forget her name.
00:15:46 But you always see a picture sitting beside a pool
00:15:48 or in a bathing suit saying hello to Santa Claus at Christmas time.
00:15:50 - You know. - Yeah.
00:15:52 It turns out that she teaches a Sunday school class.
00:15:55 You're wearing out your nerves for nothing.
00:16:04 Why don't you try and relax a little while?
00:16:06 - Aren't you sleepy? - Are you kidding?
00:16:09 Well, I'm afraid I am.
00:16:11 You don't mind if I take a nap, do you?
00:16:13 No, go ahead. You sleep. I'll watch.
00:16:16 - Mr. Trask? - Hmm?
00:16:30 My name is Carr.
00:16:32 My stage name's Pinky Gay, but my real name's Carr.
00:16:35 - Mrs. Bianca Carr. - Mrs. Carr.
00:16:38 As long as we're spending the night together,
00:16:42 we might as well know each other's names.
00:16:44 [ Engine Revving ]
00:16:52 [ Snoring ]
00:17:05 [ Engine Revving ]
00:17:08 [ Explosion ]
00:17:11 [ Horn Honking ]
00:17:15 - Yes, sir? - Salt Lake's closed in.
00:17:24 - We're going into Vega. - When?
00:17:26 Now.
00:17:28 [ Thunder Rumbling ]
00:17:30 Adjust your seatbelts, please. We're going to land in a few minutes.
00:17:38 We're gonna land at Salt Lake City?
00:17:40 Salt Lake Airport's closed in.
00:17:42 We're gonna land at Vega until the weather conditions improve.
00:17:45 [ Singing ]
00:17:49 [ Singing Continues ]

00:19:33 [ Grunts ]
00:19:48 [ Engine Revving ]
00:19:51 Oh, brother, they just lost me from now on I walk.
00:20:03 - What's she look like? - We can get out of here, all right?
00:20:15 - Anytime they say we can get in there. - I'll tell Salt Lake.
00:20:19 [ Laughing ]
00:20:22 - How many more days we gonna be here, Skipper? - Not much longer.
00:20:27 - Don't do me any favors, chum. - Hey, you know what? I just got an idea.
00:20:31 We never even heard of each other four hours ago, and now we're just like a regular four musketeers...
00:20:35 ...talking together, chewing the fat, talking about our families, everything, just like we was old friends.
00:20:40 That's the way it always is. As soon as there's a little trouble, everybody gets real friendly.
00:20:45 Start huddling together, just like horses in a storm.
00:20:48 - Yeah, what's this for, musketeers? Inflation? - You know what I mean.
00:20:51 Don't you think it'd be a nice idea to have a little record of it?
00:20:54 Maybe like a last-man club. We'll meet together the same day every year until we're 180 years old.
00:20:59 - Here's what I mean. Here's my card. - Maybe it's not such a bad idea.
00:21:02 We'll get together someday and have a few laughs, huh?
00:21:06 Oh, wait a minute. Get this. Edmund, Vincent, Hogue.
00:21:11 Hey, Vince, you hit a clink on the last one, didn't you?
00:21:14 Listen, Mousy, anybody who calls herself "Binky Gay" and is such a discussion under a distinct handicap...
00:21:20 What about you, Doc?
00:21:22 - Trasky? - I'm afraid I haven't any permanent address just now.
00:21:27 - Oh, how long you gonna be in L.A.? - I don't know yet.
00:21:30 Okay, then you call us. We'll make you chairman.
00:21:33 - What about you, Gypsy Rosalie? - I'll have to tattoo it on somebody.
00:21:37 - I don't happen to have a card with me. - Look. Now, here.
00:21:40 Here's one for each of us. Just write out your name, address and phone number.
00:21:45 - Oh, so that's it. - What?
00:21:47 So much trouble for a number. Why didn't you just ask me?
00:21:49 No, no, no. It's nothing like that. Unless, of course, you insist.
00:21:54 No, I'll fight it for a while.
00:21:56 Say, I've been telling you guys I was married. Would you like to see how married I really am?
00:22:01 - Wow. - Any complaints on that?
00:22:04 - Who are you? Harry James? - Do you think the boys are old enough to take it?
00:22:08 I don't know why not. They're in no more danger of getting drafted than you are.
00:22:12 - Mrs. Hope? - It ain't her uncle.
00:22:20 - Congratulations. - Show it to Trasky.
00:22:28 How did an old crock like you ever tie onto a dish of cream cheese like that?
00:22:31 I've got that certain ingredient, Miss Lee, with the locked-in flavor.
00:22:35 Locked-in is right. Well, here you are, but I think they're more liable to call your house than mine.
00:22:40 Oh, deal me out of this one.
00:22:43 - Hey, you got a picture of Mrs. Fortness? - Sorry.
00:22:46 You want to play canasta or just sit here and think about your wife?
00:22:57 [ Clicking ]
00:23:01 [ Clicking Continues ]
00:23:04 [ Whirring ]
00:23:17 [ Whirring Continues ]
00:23:20 David, don't go away.
00:23:35 Please don't.
00:23:38 [ Laughing ]
00:23:44 - I never see such a jerk. - There's no Prince Charming.
00:23:48 Imagine him showing a picture of his wife around like that.
00:23:51 It's a matter of taste. His is still better than hers, I should say.
00:23:55 - Will you have a drink? - Oh, no, thank you.
00:23:58 - Want to make some money? - What do you mean?
00:24:13 - You're a lawyer, aren't you? - Mm-hmm.
00:24:16 Well, this is a case. Hey, you don't mind taking a case out in the rain, do you?
00:24:21 No. But don't you think it would be better if we waited until we got to town?
00:24:25 No, I don't. I don't want to wait another minute.
00:24:28 When we were bouncing around up there, I got to thinking.
00:24:31 The kind of clear, simple, uncomplicated thoughts you think...
00:24:35 when you know that death isn't so far away after all.
00:24:38 That's when everything falls into its proper perspective.
00:24:41 When you can see what's important in your life and what's not.
00:24:45 - Know what I mean? - Yes.
00:24:48 Yes, I think I do.
00:24:50 Well, then, if you're married, another family...
00:24:54 you begin to see that there's nothing else on the face of the earth...
00:24:58 so important as their love and respect.
00:25:01 You got any kids?
00:25:03 Two girls.
00:25:05 Mine's a boy. You know how it is.
00:25:08 You know that warm, comfortable feeling you get at night after dinner...
00:25:12 when the doors are closed and the rest of the world's shut out?
00:25:15 It's just you and her and the kids sitting around together.
00:25:19 You know the feeling?
00:25:21 I know it.
00:25:23 Well, when that's gone, you've no idea how lonely life is.
00:25:28 What's the problem?
00:25:34 Tomorrow morning, I'm going to the district attorney and tell him a story.
00:25:38 A true story.
00:25:40 Now, what I want to know is, what do I have to be prepared for when I tell him the story?
00:25:44 What'll I actually have to face?
00:25:47 Go on.
00:25:49 Don't you drink at all?
00:25:52 Sure. I just don't feel like one right now.
00:25:56 Five years ago, on the 7th...
00:26:00 which was a Saturday...
00:26:02 dance night at the club...
00:26:05 I felt like more than one.
00:26:08 I was somewhat better off then than I am now.
00:26:11 One of the best practices in town.
00:26:14 Smart, well-behaved boy.
00:26:17 And without any doubt, whatever I had, the best wife in the whole history of the world.
00:26:22 No, no women. Just Jerry and myself.
00:26:30 They told me quite frankly that they didn't want me.
00:26:33 Of course not. It's not a woman's business.
00:26:36 Now, when a boy's reached his 12th birthday, it's up to his father to handle the situation.
00:26:40 Oh, Jerry's read books, of course, and he's heard the older boys talk.
00:26:44 But until he's done it himself, he simply cannot realize what it means to land a marlin.
00:26:49 - Where are you going? - Guaymas. Best fishing on this coast.
00:26:52 - Telephone, doctor. - Oh, dear.
00:26:55 Oh, dear.
00:26:58 - Very nice. - Thank you, dear.
00:27:03 It was lovely.
00:27:05 Excuse me.
00:27:08 - The hospital? - I hope not.
00:27:11 That Mexican kid, probably.
00:27:14 You have a call for Dr. Fortness?
00:27:17 Yes, this is Dr. Fortness.
00:27:20 Very well. Tell him I'll be there shortly.
00:27:24 It's the Mexican child.
00:27:26 - Oh, I'll go with you. - No, of course not.
00:27:28 You stay here and take care of Clare.
00:27:30 - You'll excuse me, won't you? - Of course.
00:27:32 See you later, darling.
00:27:34 - Good night, kids. - Good night.
00:27:36 - Go along and drive him, Tim. - I think I will.
00:27:39 It's my case almost as much as his anyway.
00:27:41 - Luther, take care of the girls, will you? - Okay.
00:27:44 But it looks like a complicated way to get out of here.
00:27:47 - I'll take care of them. - I'll take care of them.
00:27:50 Okay, but it looks like a complicated way to get out of paying a check.
00:27:54 Will you excuse me?
00:27:57 - Here you are, sir. - Thank you.
00:28:00 I'll call the car.
00:28:03 - Are you all right, darling? - Of course.
00:28:08 What do you mean?
00:28:11 Oh, of course I'm all right.
00:28:14 You go on back to your table.
00:28:19 - Thank you. - We'll call you as soon as we're through to see if you're still here.
00:28:22 Do you think he's all right?
00:28:24 - Well, sure. What do you mean? - He's had a great deal to drink.
00:28:27 - Of course not. - He doesn't show it, but he has.
00:28:30 That's the way he is sometimes.
00:28:32 No, no. And if there's the slightest question about it, he won't even wash up.
00:28:36 Bob's no fool. Besides, I'll be there. I'm washing up, too.
00:28:40 - Come on, let's go. - Coming, Mother.
00:28:46 I'm perfectly okay. Forget it.
00:28:49 See you later, darling.
00:28:55 Bye.
00:29:24 Hey, take it easy, will you? This is only an appendectomy.
00:29:27 I'm watching it.
00:29:30 What's the matter with you? There's no traffic at this hour.
00:29:43 I always wanted to know how fast this car will go.
00:29:50 This is as good a time as any to find out.
00:29:54 I'm not kidding, Bob.
00:29:57 You'd better stop the car, Bob. Let me take it.
00:30:02 - Don't be silly. - I'm not being silly. This kind of driving is nutty.
00:30:05 Okay, but it scares me.
00:30:08 - Is this all right? - I believe you are tight.
00:30:15 That's what I might have expected.
00:30:20 Bob, please!
00:30:23 Stop it, Bob.
00:30:32 Stop it, I tell you! Stop it, Bob!
00:30:36 Stop it, Bob.
00:30:39 Stop it, I tell you! Stop it, Bob!
00:30:43 Stop it, Bob.
00:30:46 Stop it, I tell you! Stop it, Bob!
00:30:49 Stop it, Bob!
00:30:52 - Did you sleep? - A little while.
00:31:17 - You couldn't have had a much closer call, you know. - I know.
00:31:21 Do you feel like seeing a man from the DA's office?
00:31:25 I can put him off if you don't.
00:31:27 I don't mind. It's all right.
00:31:30 - You can tell him to come back this afternoon. - No, it's all right.
00:31:33 I'm all right.
00:31:36 Dr. Fortness is awake now.
00:31:45 - This is Mrs. Fortness, Mr. Thompson. - Good morning, Mrs. Fortness.
00:31:48 - Good morning. - Good morning, sir.
00:31:51 - Good morning. - If you'll excuse me.
00:31:54 - I hate to push in on you like this. - I understand.
00:31:59 You know what happened, don't you?
00:32:02 I dare not think.
00:32:05 All three of them. Dr. Brooks and the two men in the other car.
00:32:09 I never saw such a wreck. You must have been going 80.
00:32:13 You were driving, weren't you?
00:32:16 No.
00:32:19 Are you sure of that?
00:32:22 What do you mean?
00:32:24 You were thrown out of the left side of the car.
00:32:27 Dr. Brooks was driving the car.
00:32:30 You got anybody else who can testify to that?
00:32:34 Yes. I can.
00:32:39 Dr. Brooks was behind the wheel when the car left the club.
00:32:43 And since then, nothing but loneliness.
00:32:58 All right, folks. Ready to board.
00:33:02 - Good-bye. - Have a good time.
00:33:06 - Good-bye. - Have a good time.
00:33:09 - Good-bye. - Have a good time.
00:33:12 - Good-bye. - Have a good time.
00:33:15 - Good-bye. - Have a good time.
00:33:18 - Good-bye. - Have a good time.
00:33:21 - Good-bye. - Have a good time.
00:33:24 - Good-bye. - Have a good time.
00:33:27 - Good-bye. - Have a good time.
00:33:30 - Good-bye. - Have a good time.
00:33:33 - Good-bye. - Have a good time.
00:33:36 Good morning! The high altitude affects my ears.
00:33:42 All right. All aboard, everybody. We're gonna fly 10 miles nonstop this time.
00:33:47 Keep moving, Gypsy. It's too early in the morning for one of your performances.
00:33:50 Drop dead, will you?
00:33:52 Better watch out, Doc. Your husband's right behind you.
00:33:56 What a clown.
00:34:02 Don't worry too much about it. We'll be able to handle it somehow.
00:34:05 - I'm not worrying now. - That's the spirit.
00:34:07 Trasky, she's waiting for you.
00:34:10 Will you do me a favor? Ride on the roof the rest of the way.
00:34:14 - Sit in. I'll sit here. - You don't mind?
00:34:18 Not in the least.
00:34:21 - Think you'll be okay this time? - Sure.
00:34:25 The pilot just told me it's all downhill from here.
00:34:30 I'll be right back.
00:34:33 I'll be right back.
00:34:36 No use, kiddo. I got my wings now.
00:34:59 - Are you gonna sing someplace in L.A.? - Why, you dirty old man.
00:35:03 - What do you mean, old? - I got a good mind to write your wife.
00:35:06 - Go ahead. She can't read. - Anybody marries you, I don't believe she can even see.
00:35:09 Oh, she's okay now. She's beginning to get insulting again.
00:35:12 Don't get tough with me, babe. I'll jam your zipper.
00:35:15 Yuck, yuck, yuck, yuck.
00:35:17 I won't say goodbye now, but just in case we miss each other when we get in,
00:35:20 - don't forget the four musketeers. - I won't.
00:35:24 You better call us, 'cause we can't call you. Maybe we can get together someday and have a few laughs.
00:35:28 - How about you, gypsy? - I'll ask my husband what he thinks about it.
00:35:31 Well, you can ask him, but don't bring him.
00:35:34 - You know how that guy talks? - Eddie?
00:35:38 - Yeah, him and his big mouth. - What about it?
00:35:40 - He's a fake. - How?
00:35:43 If I really batted an eye at him, he'd be out of here like a scalded cat.
00:35:46 - On account of his wife? - How about I don't know?
00:35:49 He doesn't want any part of any other dame, that's for sure.
00:35:52 Could it possibly be that he loves her?
00:35:54 - You really think she is? - Is what?
00:35:57 - His wife. - Don't you?
00:36:00 I don't know. Don't get it. There's something funny about that whole setup somewhere.
00:36:05 - Don't you think so? - It never occurred to me, no.
00:36:08 A lump like him with a jug like her.
00:36:11 It does seem possible that she could have done better.
00:36:13 Done better? Looks like she lost a bet.
00:36:16 - You know what's funny about it? - What?
00:36:19 He's happy. That guy's really happy.
00:36:22 - Why not? - Instead of advertising what he's got...
00:36:25 he'd be a lot smarter sitting out in front of his house with a shotgun.
00:36:28 Still figuring people out, huh?
00:36:31 I can't help it. I can't rest till I got him pegged.
00:36:35 - You want to hear about you? - I don't believe so, thank you.
00:36:38 You were a cinch. I had you pegged almost before...
00:36:41 If you don't mind, I'd rather not discuss it.
00:36:43 All right.
00:36:45 You want to hear about the doc?
00:36:47 What about him?
00:36:50 He's in big trouble.
00:36:53 Why do you say that?
00:36:56 He's a pretty smart guy. He's worried.
00:36:59 Smart guys don't worry about pimples.
00:37:01 I think something awfully important would make a smart guy worry.
00:37:04 Go on.
00:37:06 - You know what else I think? - What?
00:37:09 He made a deal.
00:37:12 A deal?
00:37:14 Some kind of deal with himself.
00:37:16 He's a pretty smart guy.
00:37:19 He knows nobody can have 100% of anything.
00:37:22 So he made a deal with himself.
00:37:25 He settled for half.
00:37:27 Am I right?
00:37:30 Yeah.
00:37:32 What's that?
00:37:35 Oh, clouds. Nothing.
00:37:47 It's a funny time of year for that much ice.
00:37:50 Yeah. We're getting everything this trip.
00:37:57 You know that's what I'm doing?
00:38:00 Making a deal?
00:38:03 Settling for a percentage.
00:38:05 That mother-in-law trouble, you ever heard of it?
00:38:07 Yes, I've heard of it.
00:38:09 You ever hear of Sally Carr?
00:38:11 Yes, vaudeville.
00:38:13 That's right, back in the old palace days. Big mama singer.
00:38:15 Heart of gold stuff. Remember?
00:38:17 Sure, I remember.
00:38:19 She really built that a song, couldn't she?
00:38:21 She was wonderful.
00:38:23 - That's my mama-in-law. - Really?
00:38:25 Every hour I spend with her has been like five rounds of Sugar Ray Robinson.
00:38:29 You see, she's still trying to hang on to what she used to be.
00:38:32 She's got this broken-down nightclub out in Hollywood.
00:38:35 She's the emcee and Mike's the floor show.
00:38:38 Mike's my husband and a very nice guy.
00:38:41 But hear her tell of it, it's Danny Kaye and Sophie Tucker, only better.
00:38:45 - See what I'm up against? - Yes, I see.
00:38:48 You can imagine how she took it when Mike walked in with me.
00:38:51 Why? You're a professional, too.
00:38:54 Maybe to me, but not to her.
00:38:56 I was with a USO troop overseas. That's where I met Mike.
00:38:59 That didn't count with her.
00:39:01 She says if it's free, soldiers will look at anything.
00:39:04 Isn't that rather a fine distinction?
00:39:06 Oh, that wasn't it.
00:39:08 The truth of it is she didn't like me on sight any more than I liked her.
00:39:11 It was bing, bing, bing all the way.
00:39:13 You know what I mean?
00:39:15 What about Mike? What was he doing all this time?
00:39:18 What's a husband usually doing in a spot like that?
00:39:21 Refereeing with Mumsy in one corner and Sugar Lump in the other.
00:39:24 So what then?
00:39:26 Well, then pretty soon all three of us are hanging on the ropes.
00:39:29 Then I get this bright idea how to straighten out the mess.
00:39:32 I'll go to New York and show the big town what I really got.
00:39:35 Make a monkey out of the old bag.
00:39:38 So I do the same and make a monkey out of myself.
00:39:41 Joke over.
00:39:43 You think we ought to turn back?
00:39:48 I don't think yet. It gets much worse.
00:39:50 So now you're going back to make a deal.
00:39:58 Give me Mike and a couple of kids and she can have all the rest of it.
00:40:04 You think you can take Mom now?
00:40:07 After your loneliness, I can take anything.

00:40:42 ( dramatic theme playing )
00:40:45 ( dramatic theme playing )
00:40:48 Will there be anything else, sir?
00:41:14 Yes, would you write out a telegram for me, please?
00:41:17 Certainly, sir.
00:41:19 Make it a day letter to Mrs. Jane Trask.
00:41:24 1846 Oak Avenue, Midland City, Iowa.
00:41:29 "Dear Jane,
00:41:33 "my address for the next few days will be
00:41:36 "Wilshire Hotel, Los Angeles.
00:41:38 "Hugs and kisses for the children.
00:41:43 "Signed, Dave."
00:41:45 Get that off right away. Put it on my bill.
00:41:51 Yes, sir. Thank you, sir.

00:42:59 ( dramatic theme playing )
00:43:07 ( dramatic theme playing )
00:43:10 ( dramatic theme playing )
00:43:26 Give me Mike and a couple of kids,
00:43:29 and she can have all the rest of it.
00:43:32 ( dramatic theme playing )
00:43:37 ( dramatic theme playing )
00:43:40 Well, when that's gone,
00:43:52 you've no idea how lonely life is.
00:43:55 ( dramatic theme playing )
00:44:01 ( dramatic theme playing )
00:44:04 Get me Marino 3637, please.
00:44:29 ( phone ringing )
00:44:32 Hello, Mrs. Fortness?
00:44:36 Yes, this is Mrs. Fortness speaking.
00:44:38 You don't know me, Mrs. Fortness,
00:44:41 but I was a passenger on the plane with Dr. Fortness.
00:44:44 He and I came to know each other rather well,
00:44:47 and I thought perhaps you might like to hear something of that last night.
00:44:52 ( train whistle blowing )
00:44:55 ( doorbell rings )
00:45:14 Mr. Troust.
00:45:18 - How do you do, Mrs. Fortness? - Come in.
00:45:21 - Sit here, will you? - Thank you.
00:45:28 I hope this isn't too much of an intrusion on your grief.
00:45:32 Not at all. It was an extremely thoughtful thing for you to do.
00:45:36 Dr. Fortness and I spent a good deal of time together at the airport in Vega,
00:45:41 and inevitably we talked about our families,
00:45:44 as men will if the conversation lasts long enough.
00:45:47 Jerry mostly, I imagine.
00:45:50 About both of you?
00:45:52 He adored Jerry.
00:45:55 He told me.
00:45:58 It must have been a wonderful relationship.
00:46:01 It was very close.
00:46:04 I, uh, agreed 100% with him
00:46:07 that Los Angeles should be in the major leagues.
00:46:11 You did get down to the fundamentals.
00:46:16 Is, uh, Jerry here now?
00:46:19 No. He had to go out this morning.
00:46:22 How's he taking it?
00:46:25 It was a great blow to him, of course.
00:46:28 I hope you won't consider it an impertinence
00:46:34 if I tell you also that every reference Dr. Fortness made to you
00:46:38 was filled with such tenderness,
00:46:41 such warmth and devotion,
00:46:44 that it was impossible for me not to be impressed by it.
00:46:47 Thank you.
00:46:50 You don't expect Jerry back soon?
00:46:54 I don't believe so.
00:46:58 Then I won't wait.
00:47:01 I just came to offer my sympathies
00:47:04 and to tell you how much you both were in his thoughts that last night.
00:47:08 Thank you very much.
00:47:12 And if you think he'd like it,
00:47:15 I'd be very happy to come back some other time and talk to Jerry about it.
00:47:19 He might be pleased to hear some of the things his father told me.
00:47:23 That's very kind of you, Mr. Trask.
00:47:27 It's nothing more than Dr. Fortness might very well have done for me.
00:47:31 You have a son?
00:47:35 I have two daughters.
00:47:41 No!
00:47:44 He's not coming back.
00:47:48 What do you mean?
00:47:50 He's gone away.
00:47:53 Run away. I just found this.
00:47:57 (FOOTSTEPS)
00:48:00 But why?
00:48:14 He thinks I did it.
00:48:17 He thinks that I drove him to it.
00:48:20 He hates me.
00:48:22 But how does he figure that?
00:48:24 I mean, it's too mixed up to tell you.
00:48:27 I shouldn't have said anything about it,
00:48:30 but I just can't seem to think straight
00:48:33 with everything happening at once.
00:48:36 (SOBBING)
00:48:39 I'm sorry.
00:48:49 Can't you think of something I might be able to do?
00:48:53 I don't believe so, thank you.
00:48:56 Would you like me to talk to the police?
00:48:59 No, that wouldn't be any use. I wouldn't want him back like that.
00:49:02 Only if he misses me someday and wants to come back.
00:49:06 Is this Jerry?
00:49:17 Yes.
00:49:21 I'm terribly sorry to have imposed this on you.
00:49:24 You deserve better.
00:49:27 I do appreciate your coming here,
00:49:30 and very much what you've told me.
00:49:33 I don't like to leave you alone like this.
00:49:36 No, I'm all right now. Thank you. Really.
00:49:39 Would you mind if I telephoned this evening,
00:49:45 just in case there should be something?
00:49:48 I'd love to, but please don't feel that you need.
00:49:51 You may think of something.
00:49:54 Thank you.
00:49:57 Goodbye. Goodbye.
00:50:00 (DOOR CLOSES)
00:50:03 That's right, madam.
00:50:28 Any ships leaving here today for South America?
00:50:31 No passenger ships, sir.
00:50:34 What about freighters?
00:50:37 Yes, two. The Chilean Star at midnight from berth 75 in San Pedro,
00:50:40 and the Santiago at 11 o'clock from berth 160 in Wilmington.
00:50:43 Thank you.
00:50:46 Well, no sign of them here.
00:50:53 We'd have seen them, I'm sure. They watch these ships pretty close these days.
00:50:56 Pardon. Excuse me.
00:50:59 (DOORBELL BUZZING)
00:51:04 Yeah?
00:51:07 Oh, yeah? Hold on a minute.
00:51:10 They got them over at Pedro, pier 75. The watchman's holding them for you.
00:51:13 -75? -That's right. Thank you.
00:51:16 I don't mind. Be right over.
00:51:20 (DOOR OPENS)
00:51:23 Is this him? Jerry?
00:51:36 Who are you?
00:51:39 If you're Jerry Fortness, I'm a friend of your father's.
00:51:42 I was on the plane with him the other night.
00:51:45 -You were in that crash? -That's right.
00:51:48 I was with my friends that night. That's why I'm here.
00:51:51 To see if you and I can't get together and talk this thing over a bit.
00:51:54 You mean with Mother?
00:51:57 I should think so.
00:52:00 -How did she know where I was? -She didn't. It was my idea.
00:52:03 Won't she come back with me now?
00:52:06 No. Not to her.
00:52:09 I told her I'd never go back to that house again, and I won't. Not as long as I live.
00:52:12 After we've talked about it,
00:52:15 if she wants to go away, I'm sure she won't object.
00:52:18 -I'll bet. -You'd rather go to the cooler?
00:52:21 You can't put me in jail. I haven't done anything.
00:52:24 -You sneaked down this pier, didn't you? -Oh, sure.
00:52:27 Then you can go to the cooler. What do you think that's up there for?
00:52:30 I didn't see that.
00:52:33 That's another charge. Not noticeable.
00:52:36 Why don't you come back with me now, Jerry?
00:52:39 You got two choices. Go with him like he says,
00:52:42 or you can stay here.
00:52:45 All right, then.
00:52:48 But I'm not gonna stay there.
00:52:51 It's up to you. I'm only interested in tonight.
00:52:54 Much obliged to you, officer.
00:52:57 He'll be all right. He's not a bad kid.
00:53:00 How'd you figure this thing?
00:53:03 Just took a chance. Your father told me how you used to take trips together,
00:53:06 how the big plan was to sail away to South America someday.
00:53:09 So here we are.
00:53:12 -That was a pretty smart figure. -Thanks.
00:53:15 -Jerry! -Darling.
00:53:38 So glad to see you, darling. Are you all right?
00:53:41 Oh, sure.
00:53:44 -Are you hungry? Would you like something to eat? -No, I'm not hungry.
00:53:47 -I'm terribly sorry. -Leave me alone, will you?
00:53:50 I'm all right.
00:53:53 -How did you do it? -Just luck.
00:53:56 I'm not gonna stay here, you know. I told him already.
00:53:59 -Why not? -She knows.
00:54:02 -Are you sure she does? -Why shouldn't she?
00:54:05 She's a good man, but that didn't stop her from sending him out of his own house.
00:54:08 If he hadn't had to keep going away all the time, he wouldn't have been on that plane.
00:54:11 You think I don't know why he kept going away, too, but I do.
00:54:14 I've known it all along.
00:54:17 He went away to drink, didn't he?
00:54:20 Yeah, but he couldn't help that.
00:54:23 I know what drink is. It's a disease.
00:54:26 He couldn't help himself any more than you can help from getting TB or pneumonia or anything like that.
00:54:29 You're supposed to feel sorry for a man like that,
00:54:32 not drive him away from his own home to be sick.
00:54:35 He went away because he didn't want you to know, darling.
00:54:38 Oh, sure. Everything was his fault.
00:54:41 You didn't do anything. You just wouldn't talk to him.
00:54:44 All you did was make him like a ghost, walking around all the time without saying anything.
00:54:47 And all the time, he loved you more than he did me.
00:54:50 He never said it, but he did. I could tell.
00:54:53 And my loving him just wasn't enough for him.
00:55:00 If you would prefer to leave, Mr. Trask...
00:55:03 I'd still like to talk to him.
00:55:06 - Jerry, darling... - I'm getting out of here!
00:55:12 - Jerry! - Let me go!
00:55:15 - Not until you promise to behave yourself for a few minutes. - Let me go, I tell you!
00:55:18 And get it through your head I didn't chase you all the way to Wilmington just to come back here and listen to a lot of whining nonsense.
00:55:21 I know that you mean well, Mr. Trask, but that is not the way to handle my son.
00:55:24 Would you be good enough to leave now?
00:55:27 In just a few minutes, I promise you.
00:55:30 But not until I've explained one thing to him about his father.
00:55:33 - I don't want to hear it. - I'm afraid you'll have to, Jerry.
00:55:36 What about his father?
00:55:39 The other night, Dr. Fortness engaged me as his attorney...
00:55:43 for a matter that I'll explain in a minute.
00:55:46 This, I believe, gives me something more than simply a busybody position here.
00:55:49 I can't guarantee, of course, that this is precisely what he'd want me to do or say.
00:55:56 But if I learned anything during our few hours together...
00:55:59 it was that I was with a man who was prepared to go to any lengths...
00:56:02 to make up in any way whatever...
00:56:05 for the cruel, shocking, almost irreparable harm...
00:56:08 he'd done to the love and respect of his family.
00:56:11 - That's not true. - What's not true?
00:56:14 That he ever did any harm to his family.
00:56:17 Five years ago, your father was in a dreadful automobile accident.
00:56:20 - Do you remember that? - Of course.
00:56:23 Three people were killed in that accident.
00:56:26 Two in the other car and his friend Dr. Brooks, who was driving.
00:56:29 - Is that right? - Yes.
00:56:32 That's when all your trouble started, wasn't it?
00:56:35 Yes, I guess so.
00:56:38 - Were you at the country club that night? - No, I was home in bed. Why?
00:56:41 Then you wouldn't know whether your father was drunk or not, would you?
00:56:44 - Who says he was? - Wait a moment.
00:56:47 - Yes? - What are you trying to do?
00:56:50 Straighten him out, that's all.
00:56:53 But you mustn't, like that. I won't permit it.
00:56:56 It'll only make things worse.
00:56:59 How can things be worse?
00:57:02 But you have no right to shake his faith in his father.
00:57:05 Why, it's the most important thing that he has left in his life.
00:57:08 I forbid you to say such things to him.
00:57:11 But what if I told you that this is exactly what his father was planning...
00:57:14 to do only a thousand times more shockingly?
00:57:17 I don't know what you're talking about.
00:57:20 You know the whole story of that night, don't you?
00:57:23 - Of course. - Then you know a lie.
00:57:26 It wasn't Dr. Brooks that was driving the car that night.
00:57:29 It was your father, drunk.
00:57:32 - Did she tell you that? - Of course not.
00:57:35 - He did. - I don't believe it.
00:57:38 Is it true, Mrs. Fortness?
00:57:44 Yes.
00:57:47 And it was your mother who knew better...
00:57:50 who heard your father tell that lie to the police...
00:57:53 and then lied herself to protect him.
00:57:56 I can't believe it.
00:58:03 It's true, Jerry.
00:58:06 But when you're thinking about it, try to understand this.
00:58:13 It was an indecent thing that he did.
00:58:16 But that didn't make him an indecent man.
00:58:19 An indecent man would have enjoyed his escape.
00:58:22 Only a decent man would have been lost...
00:58:26 in the shame and the horror of what he had done.
00:58:29 I know all this, Mrs. Fortness, because Dr. Fortness engaged me...
00:58:36 to go with him to the district attorney to tell him the whole story.
00:58:39 And whatever that would have meant...
00:58:42 and I assure you he had no delusions about the possibilities...
00:58:45 it would have been worth it to him...
00:58:48 if it brought back your respect for him.
00:58:51 Goodbye.
00:58:55 Thank you.
00:58:58 - Goodbye, Jerry. - Mr. Trask.
00:59:01 - Yes? - Tell me.
00:59:04 Was he... was he drinking when he told you this?
00:59:07 Of course not. I don't take cases from drunks.
00:59:10 Now, now, Doc.
00:59:39 [ Sniffles ]
00:59:42 Hempstead 3449, please.
00:59:56 Hempstead. That's right.
01:00:06 - Club car. - Is Mr. Michael Carr in?
01:00:09 Just a minute. Somebody wants to talk to Mr. Carr.
01:00:12 I'll take it.
01:00:15 Yeah? Who wants him?
01:00:19 He doesn't know me. Is this Miss Carr?
01:00:22 Yes. Who's this?
01:00:25 I was on that plane Friday night.
01:00:28 - What plane? - The, uh-- that plane from Chicago.
01:00:31 Well, what about it?
01:00:35 Hello?
01:00:38 I'm sorry.
01:00:41 Just a minute. Hey, you! You with that vacuum cleaner!
01:00:44 - What's that rockhead's name? - Hey, Henry, knock that off.
01:00:47 What's the matter with you? Can't you see I'm talking on this phone?
01:00:50 What is it you want?
01:00:53 I think it's a matter I'd better take up with Mr. Carr first.
01:00:56 - When will he be in? - You can try after dinner, about 9.30.
01:00:59 Thank you.
01:01:02 - What's the matter with you? You blind? - No.
01:01:05 - Good evening, sir. - Good evening.
01:01:18 I'd like to see Mr. Michael Carr.
01:01:20 Mr. Carr's about to go on now, sir. Would you like to wait at the bar?
01:01:23 Oh, thank you.
01:01:27 # I do
01:01:30 # To cry as much, to laugh as much
01:01:33 # And love me even half as much
01:01:36 # As I love you #
01:01:40 Now, a gin and tonic, please.
01:01:43 Yes, sir.
01:01:45 And now, ladies and gentlemen, it gives me great pleasure...
01:01:48 to introduce to you a young man who really needs no introduction.
01:01:51 You all know him very well.
01:01:54 That's better. I give you Mr. Michael...
01:01:57 - Carr. - Michael what?
01:02:04 - Carr. - Oh, so stupid of me.
01:02:07 Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Michael Carr!
01:02:10 - Thank you, Mama. - Thank you what?
01:02:18 I'm terribly sorry. I forgot. Thank you, sister.
01:02:23 That's better. Try not to forget again, son.
01:02:26 As a matter of fact, ladies and gentlemen, this happens to be Miss Carr's birthday.
01:02:32 # Oh, the old gray mare
01:02:35 # She ain't what she used to be
01:02:37 # She ain't what she used to be
01:02:39 # The old gray mare, she ain't what she used to be
01:02:42 # Many long years ago #
01:02:45 Now, ladies and gentlemen, a favorite of mine, and I'm sure one of yours.
01:02:52 # Again... #
01:02:55 Give me a Coke.
01:02:58 # This is the thrill of the day #
01:03:01 - Miss Carr? - Yes?
01:03:03 My name is Trask. I spoke to you on the phone this afternoon.
01:03:06 Oh, yes, but you'll have to wait till after the show now.
01:03:09 That's all right. I'm enjoying it.
01:03:12 # This is the thrill divine
01:03:18 # And what's more
01:03:22 # This never happened before #
01:03:27 Is it about Binky?
01:03:30 Why, yes.
01:03:32 What are you, the lawyer?
01:03:35 Well, I am a lawyer, yes.
01:03:38 Well, if it's alimony she's after, you're wasting your time.
01:03:41 He's not gonna give her a nickel.
01:03:47 Well, has she asked for any yet?
01:03:49 No, but that's what you're here for. I know that, dame.
01:03:53 But she do phone you the minute she got the notice.
01:03:56 As a matter of fact, I'm only here to get a line on the situation.
01:04:01 - Nothing's been really... - You want a line on the situation?
01:04:05 I'll give you a line on the situation. I'll give you plenty of line on it.
01:04:09 Come with me.
01:04:11 - Tell Carr I want to see him. - Yes, ma'am.
01:04:14 # This doesn't happen... #
01:04:17 If ever a dame asked for it, it was that client of yours.
01:04:21 I pegged her the minute I laid eyes on her.
01:04:24 Sit down. She never carried a nickel for Mike.
01:04:27 All she was after was the name and what she could get out of it.
01:04:30 - What do you mean, the name? - Carr! My name. You know who I am, don't you?
01:04:34 Very well, indeed. I'm an old vaudeville fan.
01:04:37 Well, she knew it so well, she wanted it for herself.
01:04:40 It don't hurt to have a famous name in this business.
01:04:43 Come in!
01:04:45 - You know that boy Henry? - Yes, ma'am.
01:04:48 - Give him his money and get him out of here. - What did he do?
01:04:51 - Didn't I say no serving during the show? - Yes.
01:04:54 - Did you see what he was doing just now? - Yes, but the party called him over.
01:04:57 They're a little drunk, and I told them to go to the table.
01:04:59 - They might have made a fuss of some kind. - Listen, I don't want to argue the matter.
01:05:02 - Just get him out of here, and I can tell you. - Yes, ma'am.
01:05:06 How well do you know this dame?
01:05:09 Not too well. I met her only once.
01:05:12 Well, let me tell you something about her.
01:05:15 If I'd been that girl's own mother, I couldn't have treated her any better...
01:05:19 like my own blood daughter.
01:05:22 I knew she was out for what she could get, but when I saw that my son thought he loved her...
01:05:26 I nearly broke my back trying to make that marriage work.
01:05:29 - I see. - But you wouldn't believe it.
01:05:32 The abuse I had to take when he wasn't around.
01:05:35 And such vulgarity you never heard in your life.
01:05:38 But do you think I'd let him know it?
01:05:41 I'd rather have cut off my right arm...
01:05:44 until last week.
01:05:47 And then, heaven help me, I had to tell him.
01:05:50 Well, why last week?
01:05:53 Because I couldn't stand to see him eating his heart out any longer.
01:05:56 Not for that rip. I'd have let him know it.
01:05:59 And it was then that he decided to file suit?
01:06:02 What else could he do when her already gone a year?
01:06:05 Did she ever tell you the way she left here?
01:06:08 No.
01:06:11 I'll bet she didn't.
01:06:14 Well, it was a Saturday afternoon...
01:06:17 about this same time last week.
01:06:20 I was out with my son.
01:06:23 I was out with my son.
01:06:26 Well, it was a Saturday afternoon about this same time last year.
01:06:29 She'd really had one of her spells on that week.
01:06:32 You should have seen her, Mr. Trask.
01:06:38 You should have seen her, Mr. Trask.
01:06:41 You wish to see me, my child?
01:07:02 The jerk tells me you don't want me to sing in the show.
01:07:05 I don't, Binky dear, but I just don't think it would be advisable at this particular time.
01:07:10 And I say that for your own good.
01:07:13 Yellow, huh?
01:07:16 I'm afraid I do not comprehend what it is that you mean by that.
01:07:19 Scared, you dope.
01:07:22 Scared if they ever hear me sing in this trap, they'll throw rocks at you.
01:07:25 You mortify me, Binky.
01:07:28 What do you think I'm here for anyway? Listen to that carnival show every night?
01:07:31 Why do you think I married that goon?
01:07:34 - Listen to me, darling. - Why don't you go and fly a kite?
01:07:37 - But, Binky dear. - My son, my son.
01:07:40 I'm here to get mine fat stuff, and the sooner you know it, the better.
01:07:43 I'm sure you don't wish to be unfair, child.
01:07:46 Do I sing or not? That's all I want out of you.
01:07:49 - As I've tried to explain, Binky dear. - Okay, I get it.
01:07:52 I got one more proposition for you.
01:07:55 Anything within human reason, daughter.
01:08:02 You want me to stay here, ducky?
01:08:05 No, I do, darling.
01:08:08 Then tell Mumsie you and I want 50% interest in the joint.
01:08:11 - But, Binky dear. - You want me to stay or not, ducky?
01:08:14 Mumsie, darling.
01:08:20 Would you... Could you see your way clear to...
01:08:23 My, my own. You know I'd rather cut off my right arm...
01:08:26 than deny anything to you or Binky.
01:08:29 But after all, you already have 5%.
01:08:32 And unless something good turns up for me on Broadway...
01:08:35 this little joint is all I have to provide...
01:08:38 for my few remaining years.
01:08:41 But when I pass on...
01:08:44 remember, it will all be yours and hers, 100%.
01:08:47 - How about that, Binky? - Sorry, so indefinite.
01:08:52 - How much you got in the till? - Well, I don't know.
01:08:56 - Come on, let me have it. - You can't do that, Binky.
01:08:59 - That's narcissist. - Shake it up. I'm chiefin' outta here tonight.
01:09:02 But if you take the money, Binky, we will have no change for the customers.
01:09:05 Get out of my way.
01:09:08 Let her have it, Arthur. Her need is greater than ours.
01:09:25 And that's the last we've seen of her.
01:09:28 As Mike says, absolutely incredible.
01:09:33 And after all we've done for her...
01:09:37 Venus!
01:09:40 I thought you was in there.
01:09:51 I'm sorry.
01:09:53 My sympathies, of course, are entirely with you...
01:10:07 but after what you've said, I find myself in rather an awkward position.
01:10:10 - I thought you would. - No, it's not that.
01:10:13 Well, the fact is, I didn't come here about the divorce.
01:10:18 I knew nothing about that until you mentioned it.
01:10:21 Nor did Mrs. Carr when I spoke to her.
01:10:24 I don't believe she even dreamed of such a thing.
01:10:27 Then what was it?
01:10:30 Well, as it turned out, you seem to have been in some error, at least on one point.
01:10:33 - Which one was that? - Binky's professional talent.
01:10:36 - You ever hear her? - No, I never did.
01:10:39 - You're lucky. - Then I take it you haven't heard about the audition.
01:10:42 Audition for who?
01:10:45 - Rogers and Hammerstein, is it? - Binky auditioned for Rogers and Hammerstein?
01:10:48 For the Mary Morton part in South Pacific.
01:10:51 Miss Morton's leaving to go into the London production.
01:10:54 Well, that must have been a mute.
01:10:57 They asked her to audition after seeing her in "Let's Go."
01:11:00 What'd they say?
01:11:02 Well, for a couple of days, nothing.
01:11:05 They had lots of others to listen to, I imagine.
01:11:08 And so she just had to sit and wait...
01:11:11 until last Thursday afternoon.
01:11:14 ( dramatic theme playing )
01:11:18 ( dramatic theme playing )
01:11:46 ( phone ringing )
01:11:49 Hello?
01:12:01 Oh, yes, this is Miss Binky Gay.
01:12:04 Rogers and Hammerstein?
01:12:10 They do?
01:12:15 Both of them?
01:12:18 ( dramatic theme playing )
01:12:22 ( dramatic theme playing )
01:12:25 ( music playing )
01:12:49 ( music playing )
01:12:52 You're a pretty lucky gal, really.
01:12:57 - Oh, don't I know it. - There isn't a dame in this place...
01:13:00 who wouldn't give up half her alimony to be in your shoes tonight.
01:13:03 Did you say there's going to be some more cast changes?
01:13:06 Just a few, not everybody.
01:13:09 - What about Bloody Mary? - We're gonna get someone for her, too.
01:13:12 - That's a nice part. - Nice?
01:13:15 She's been around a generation. For an old doll, that's dream stuff.
01:13:18 Remember Sally Carr?
01:13:21 Sally Carr? You bet your life I do.
01:13:24 Now, there really was a trooper. When she played the palace...
01:13:27 Oh, what about her for Bloody Mary?
01:13:30 - Sally Carr? - Why not?
01:13:33 But holy smoke, is she still alive?
01:13:36 Oh, very much so, and still belting 'em out as good as ever.
01:13:39 Oh, and, Mr. Sarge, in that part, she'd be real terrific. She really would.
01:13:42 Where did you dig her?
01:13:45 She's my mamzy. My mother-in-law, that is.
01:13:48 We've had our little differences, but she's still a grand old gal with a heart of gold.
01:13:51 And as Bloody Mary, she'd be sure heaven.
01:13:54 Sally Carr as Bloody Mary.
01:13:57 - How can I get in touch with her? - Oh, you needn't bother.
01:14:00 I'll phone a friend of mine out there tonight, and he'll go talk to her about doing it.
01:14:04 But under the circumstances, I have no intention of embarrassing you...
01:14:07 ...with Mrs. Carr's suggestion.
01:14:10 I had no way of knowing how inexcusably she'd treated you.
01:14:13 Oh, believe me, I wouldn't have come out here and wasted so much of your time.
01:14:16 You're a Mr. Carr, aren't you?
01:14:19 - Binky's husband. - Yes.
01:14:22 - I'm Binky's husband. - Oh, I see.
01:14:25 I'm sorry, Mr. Carr.
01:14:28 I'm sorry, Mr. Carr.
01:14:31 - Binky's husband. - Yes.
01:14:34 Nothing.
01:14:37 Oh, could I see you outside for a moment?
01:14:40 Just what I was about to suggest to you.
01:14:43 Good night, Miss Carr.
01:14:46 Good night.
01:14:49 What was the idea?
01:15:08 The idea originally was to bring you a piece of very tragic news.
01:15:11 This?
01:15:14 - I'm terribly sorry, Mr. Carr. - Thank you.
01:15:17 - When did you see her? - I was on that plane.
01:15:20 Did you talk to her? Much?
01:15:23 Quite a bit. We were seated together.
01:15:26 Did she say anything about why she was coming back?
01:15:29 She hadn't received the divorce notice, if that's what you mean.
01:15:34 - Are you sure? - I'm positive.
01:15:37 As far as she knew, she was coming home to you as ever.
01:15:40 Thank you very much for that.
01:15:43 As for that nonsense to your mother, I...
01:15:46 Skip it. Just don't be in town when she finds out.
01:15:49 Thanks. I won't.
01:15:52 The reason I didn't stop you myself, I mean really stop you,
01:15:55 you were giving Binky such a beautiful success.
01:15:58 The kind she always dreamed about, never could have.
01:16:02 Until you gave it to her.
01:16:05 - Good night, Mike. - Good night, sir.
01:16:12 Get me Valley 48269, please.
01:16:15 Mrs. Hoke?
01:16:23 You don't know me, but I was a passenger on that plane with your husband.
01:16:26 I'm sorry.
01:16:34 I'm sorry.
01:16:37 I'm sorry.
01:16:41 I'm sorry.
01:16:44 - I'm calling on Mrs. Hoke. - Oh, yes, sir. Will you come in?
01:16:52 Thank you.
01:16:55 - You can go right in. She's expecting you. - Thank you.
01:17:01 Mr. Trask?
01:17:04 Mrs. Hoke?
01:17:07 - He showed you the picture, I see. - Yes.
01:17:14 And it was greatly admired, of course.
01:17:17 But he didn't tell you how old it was?
01:17:20 - No. - He never did, but you can see why.
01:17:23 - I'm sorry. - It's all right.
01:17:26 - He didn't tell you how old it was? - No.
01:17:29 He never did, but you can see why.
01:17:32 - Sit there, will you? - Thank you.
01:17:35 - It's very kind of you to do this. - Not at all.
01:17:40 It was Eddie who was responsible, as a matter of fact.
01:17:43 There were four of us who spent a good deal of time together during the night.
01:17:46 The four musketeers, he called us.
01:17:51 The names seemed to establish some kind of bond between us, still.
01:17:55 And are you going to see the other families, too?
01:17:58 - I have already. - How grateful they must have been.
01:18:01 - That I'm not so sure of. - Why not?
01:18:06 I came in on people whose lives were not as uncomplicated as they might have been.
01:18:10 Oh, good heavens, whose is?
01:18:14 - I don't know. - Is yours?
01:18:17 Of course not nobody's is.
01:18:22 That's what Binky said.
01:18:25 One of the other musketeers.
01:18:28 I'm sure that every single solitary person we see every day of our lives...
01:18:31 is trying to find his way out of one kind of problem or another.
01:18:35 - I suppose so. - And in time, of course, they will.
01:18:40 - All of them? - I imagine so, in time.
01:18:44 I wish I could agree with you.
01:18:49 You mean your own?
01:18:52 Forgive me. This is hardly the moment to...
01:18:55 Is it really so serious?
01:18:58 To me, it couldn't be more so.
01:19:01 - Only to you? - What do you mean?
01:19:04 Not to your family, too?
01:19:07 Well, to my children, of course.
01:19:10 But not to your wife?
01:19:13 You can't be interested in my problems. You know you can't.
01:19:18 - Where is she now? - At home.
01:19:21 - Back home, you mean? - That's it.
01:19:24 And does she want to stay there now?
01:19:28 She says she does.
01:19:31 - You doubt it? - No.
01:19:34 But I don't know that I care to be there with her.
01:19:37 Even though you're still in love with her?
01:19:40 - Why do you assume that? - You must, or there wouldn't be any problem.
01:19:44 Janey, my wife, fell in love with another man.
01:19:47 After 12 years and two children, that's what happened to our marriage.
01:19:51 And it happened without my even suspecting it.
01:19:56 Without my knowing anything about it at all, until it was all over.
01:19:59 - And she told me. - She told you herself?
01:20:03 - Yes. - And you told her?
01:20:08 I told her.
01:20:11 And you told her?
01:20:14 That was a month ago.
01:20:18 And I tried. I tried very hard to understand what had happened.
01:20:21 And to find some way to accept a fact which I couldn't think of without dying a little.
01:20:26 But it was no use. I couldn't do it.
01:20:33 Have you ever thought of it the other way around?
01:20:38 That's always the woman's argument.
01:20:41 And that's always the man's way of dodging an answer to it.
01:20:44 It's different. I wish it weren't, but it is.
01:20:49 Have you talked to her since you went away?
01:20:54 - Once, on the phone. - What did she say?
01:20:57 She cried.
01:21:00 But it's the memory of that mistake.
01:21:03 It's the memory of someone else always between us.
01:21:06 I don't believe I'd ever be able to support it.
01:21:09 - Few men can. - I know.
01:21:12 Only the strongest.
01:21:15 Many, many wives, of course, but only a few very strong husbands.
01:21:19 Perhaps.
01:21:25 I'm sorry. I had no right to say that.
01:21:29 Would you care for a drink?
01:21:33 I think so, thank you.
01:21:36 How did you like Eddie?
01:21:41 Quite well. He was a lot of fun.
01:21:45 - Too many jokes, you mean. - No, not at all.
01:21:49 We had a very pleasant time together.
01:21:53 - Most people detested him. - Oh, no. I can't believe that.
01:22:00 He was a dull vulgar, always honing in where he wasn't wanted.
01:22:03 I don't believe that's a fair description of him at all.
01:22:08 - Don't you? - No, I don't.
01:22:12 I do, because that's what he was.
01:22:15 A tiresome, foolish, irritating man.
01:22:19 And even after all these years, I still can't think what it was that made me marry him.
01:22:23 Of course, I was flighty myself in those days,
01:22:29 when I thought he was fun,
01:22:32 and that marriage with him would be one long laugh.
01:22:35 If that was it, though, I was wrong.
01:22:38 So naturally, there came a day when I looked for happiness somewhere else.
01:22:42 - I'm late, am I? - No, I'm just nervous anyway.
01:22:58 - Okay, now.
01:23:01 - Turn off Elm. - Okay.
01:23:07 Was there any trouble?
01:23:12 He wasn't there. He flew to San Francisco this afternoon.
01:23:15 - You didn't tell him? - Uh-uh.
01:23:19 What about when he gets back? Won't he go to the police or something?
01:23:24 Oh, I left a note.
01:23:27 - Notifying him what? - Just that I was going away, that's all.
01:23:30 - Not who with? - No, nothing else.
01:23:34 Well, it doesn't matter. We know what we're doing.
01:23:40 I'm not worried.
01:23:44 When do you figure we'll get to Chicago?
01:23:49 I don't know. I don't see any reason why we ought to break any records, do you?
01:23:52 - Oh, no. - I thought we might take it easy.
01:23:56 Stop off here and there. See a bit of the country while we're above it.
01:23:59 Oh, I'd like that.
01:24:02 - You'll never make it. - Okay, wise guy.
01:24:10 Bye-bye.

01:25:18 I don't know yet.
01:25:21 What'd you do, hit the raft?
01:25:24 Did I?
01:25:27 Okay?
01:25:35 Okay.
01:25:39 (DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)
01:25:42 Good afternoon, ma'am.
01:25:58 - Can you park the car? - Yes, sir. You go right ahead.
01:26:06 I'll get the baggage.

01:26:58 Is it serious?
01:27:01 It's possible. St. Luke's?
01:27:04 This is Dr. Fernwood. I want an ambulance sent to the Chicago Inn Hotel on State Street.
01:27:07 Thank you.
01:27:11 (DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)
01:27:18 (SIREN WAILING)
01:27:21 - What is it? - Let's sit down.
01:27:37 How'd she get that bump on her head?
01:27:40 - In a lake. - She dived?
01:27:43 - Came up under a raft. - Cigarette?
01:27:46 - When was that? - Last Thursday morning.
01:27:49 Yeah. Well...
01:27:52 That's it, I imagine.
01:27:57 Without getting technical about it...
01:28:01 ...she seems to be suffering from a blood clot on the brain.
01:28:04 Subdural hematoma. That's the way those things usually start, from some blow on the head.
01:28:07 How could that be? She was perfectly all right the next day, just a little headache.
01:28:13 Yes, I know. That's the way they develop, too, very slowly.
01:28:16 - Will you have to operate? - Yes. We're getting her ready now.
01:28:22 There's already a partial paralysis, and her breathing's been affected.
01:28:26 That's why I thought we shouldn't waste any more time.
01:28:29 - You mean she's liable to die? - No, I didn't say that.
01:28:32 It's a delicate operation, but it's very rarely fatal.
01:28:35 What is quite possible, though, and I think you ought to be prepared for it...
01:28:39 ...is a residual effect.
01:28:42 Some degree of paralysis afterwards.
01:28:45 I'm afraid that's fairly common in these cases.
01:28:48 She'll be paralyzed afterward?
01:28:52 It's quite possible, to some extent.
01:28:55 [phone ringing]
01:28:58 [phone ringing]
01:29:13 Yes?
01:29:19 Oh, yes, Doctor.
01:29:22 I see.
01:29:25 Is she conscious this morning?
01:29:28 I see.
01:29:34 Thank you, Doctor.
01:29:38 Thank you very much.

01:30:21 Hello? This is Mr. Nelson in 1267.
01:30:24 Yes, will you get my bill ready right away, please? I'm checking out.
01:30:29 Thank you.
01:30:34 It was a week before I could bring myself to realize...
01:30:44 ...he'd gone away and left me.
01:30:50 But by then it didn't seem to matter.
01:30:53 Nothing did.
01:30:57 Nothing.
01:31:00 In this whole, wide, empty world.
01:31:17 Mrs. Oak?
01:31:20 Yes?
01:31:24 Hiya, beautiful.
01:31:43 [music playing]
01:31:46 Dull, foolish, vulgar to some.
01:31:56 But not to me.
01:32:02 To me he was a man like a rock.
01:32:07 Nothing could shake him.
01:32:10 Nothing could shake his love.
01:32:13 It was from him I learned what love really was.
01:32:16 Not a frail little fancy to be smashed and broken...
01:32:21 ...by pride and vanity and self-pity.
01:32:25 That's for children.
01:32:30 That's for high school kids.
01:32:33 But a rock as strong as life itself.
01:32:37 Indestructible and eternal.
01:32:40 May I use your phone?
01:32:55 Certainly.
01:32:59 [music playing]
01:33:02 Long distance.
01:33:15 I'd like to speak to Mrs. David Trask, person to person...
01:33:18 ...at Prairie 4267, Midland City, Iowa.
01:33:21 And reverse the charge.
01:33:25 Mr. Trask.
01:33:28 Valley 48269.
01:33:33 That's right.
01:33:36 [phone ringing]
01:33:42 They're ringing now.
01:33:45 [phone ringing]
01:33:50 [phone ringing]
01:33:53 There's no answer.
01:34:01 She's out.
01:34:10 - Where? - Well, it's nearly midnight there.
01:34:13 Oh, for the love of Pete.
01:34:17 I don't understand it. We've got children there.
01:34:20 - She's got no right to... - Hello, Dave?
01:34:23 Hello?
01:34:26 Hello? Hello, Janie?
01:34:29 Where have you been? Up on the roof?
01:34:32 Phone's been ringing for...
01:34:35 Shower? At midnight?
01:34:38 Of course, darling. You know I always take a shower every night.
01:34:41 Don't you remember?
01:34:44 Oh, yeah, sure.
01:34:47 How are you?
01:34:50 We're all fine. How are you?
01:34:53 I'm fine.
01:34:57 How are the kids?
01:35:00 I told you, they're fine.
01:35:03 That's fine.
01:35:06 What is it, darling?
01:35:09 Well, Janie, I've been thinking about it.
01:35:12 And the way things are, if...
01:35:15 If it's all right with you, or...
01:35:18 - You get on that plane. - What?
01:35:21 - Don't you wait for the train? - You know I do, Janie.
01:35:24 - Hurry up, darling. Just get on the plane. - I am, right away.
01:35:27 - So the girls are having a... - Absolutely, honey. I'm getting the first plane out.
01:35:30 Now you get on that plane. Don't you wait for the train.
01:35:33 And we'll all come down and meet you.
01:35:36 Listen, darling, do you have any idea about the schedule?
01:35:39 - Why? - Because...
01:35:42 I think they're not...
