00:04:55I'll go and get my bag.

00:04:56Very good, ma'am.

00:04:59Connie!

00:05:01Connie!

00:05:02They didn't come?

00:05:03No.

00:05:04Oh, Connie, change your mind.

00:05:05Spend the summer with us on the lake.

00:05:07We have a household.

00:05:08I'd love to, Marcia.

00:05:09Really, I would.

00:05:10But they've done so much for me.

00:05:12You know?

00:05:17Connie, when you go to New York,

00:05:18listen, there's a boy there.

00:05:19I'm sorry, Sally.

00:05:20I have to hurry.

00:05:21Well, where do you think you're going?

00:05:22I'm going, young lady.

00:05:23I have to go up and change my clothes.

00:05:24Oh, no you don't.

00:05:25Oh, you promised to sing.

00:05:26But, Tony, I can't.

00:05:27Hey, what do you think of that girl?

00:05:28She refuses to sing for us.

00:05:29Oh, it's the last time.

00:05:30Let's go to the music room.

00:05:32Come on.

00:05:35Yes?

00:05:36What is it?

00:05:37May we use the piano, Miss Wiggins?

00:05:39What for?

00:05:40Connie's going to sing for us.

00:05:43All right.

00:05:44Go ahead.

00:05:45Miss Wiggins says it's all right.

00:05:47Come on.

00:05:48The maid of the glee club always sings for us.

00:05:51I don't feel like singing.

00:05:52Oh, temperamental, eh?

00:05:53No, I'm not.

00:05:54Say, what about that big girl?

00:05:55Is all those your favorite butterflies?

00:05:56No, girls.

00:05:57No, I.

00:05:58Anything you like.

00:05:59Home sweet home, for instance.

00:06:02All right.

00:06:03All right.

00:06:14Lead pleasures and palaces,

00:06:25Though we may roam,

00:06:33It ever so humble,

00:06:42There's no place like home.

00:06:51A charm from the skies

00:06:59Seems to hallow us there,

00:07:09Which, sick to the world,

00:07:16Is now met with elsewhere.

00:07:27Home, home, sweet, sweet home,

00:07:44There's no place like home.

00:08:02Connie.

00:08:04What is it, Connie?

00:08:06That's funny.

00:08:07Connie never cries.

00:08:08I'm sorry.

00:08:11Don't you feel well?

00:08:14Get up.

00:08:15Go on.

00:08:16Come.

00:08:25What's all this?

00:08:29Look up here.

00:08:35What's the matter with you?

00:08:37Nothing.

00:08:39It's just that everybody's going home.

00:08:41And.

00:08:42And?

00:08:44And I'm leaving mine.

00:08:48I thought so.

00:08:50Crying your eyes out

00:08:52just because you don't have a home of your own to go to.

00:08:55Or a mother and father to tell you how pity and clever you are.

00:09:00Poor little thing.

00:09:02You've just got a voice

00:09:04that comes to one in a million.

00:09:06Straight from God to you.

00:09:09Do you understand?

00:09:11And you sit there feeling sorry for yourself.

00:09:14Yes, you are.

00:09:15Sorry for yourself.

00:09:17If I were that kind of girl, do you know what I'd do?

00:09:19I'd stick my tongue out at myself.

00:09:20Right there.

00:09:21Bam.

00:09:30Get away.

00:09:31Get away.

00:09:32That's all right.

00:09:33It's so wonderful to me, Miss Wiggins.

00:09:38Now, you go on up there to New York.

00:09:41And make those people love you as much as we do.

00:09:45And then, maybe someday you'll meet a prince.

00:09:49And you'll live happily ever after.

00:09:52Those fairy stories haven't come true for over a hundred years, Miss Wiggins.

00:09:57Fiddlesticks.

00:09:59You just have to dust them off.

00:10:01Streamline them a bit.

00:10:03They'd still be fairy stories, wouldn't they?

00:10:06That's all life is.

00:10:07A fairy story.

00:10:08The trouble with you young people is you don't believe in anything.

00:10:11You're afraid.

00:10:12Afraid of hope.

00:10:13Afraid of happiness.

00:10:15What's New York?

00:10:16It's just another town.

00:10:17It's no bigger than you are.

00:10:19Go there and laugh in it.

00:10:20Love in it.

00:10:21Live in it.

00:10:22Make it yours.

00:10:33Hold it, Miss Clinton.

00:10:34Hold it, Miss Clinton.

00:10:37Thank you.

00:10:39No, boy!

00:10:40Hold it, Miss Clinton.

00:10:42Thank you.

00:10:43No, boy! Come on!

00:10:46Hold it, Miss Clinton.

00:10:47Thank you.

00:10:50Hold it, Miss Clinton.

00:10:52Thank you.

00:10:54Isn't that wonderful?

00:10:56Right in the middle of the air.

00:10:58What's wonderful about it?

00:10:59It's like you were a bird.

00:11:00It's terrible.

00:11:01Throw that white bathing suit out.

00:11:02It looks like a flower sack.

00:11:03Yes, Miss.

00:11:04Get my comb.

00:11:05Yes, Miss.

00:11:06Send that editor a telegram telling him he's a darling for putting me on the cover.

00:11:08May I fix that spangle now, Miss Barbara?

00:11:10You should have done it before I put the dress on.

00:11:12But it wasn't loose then.

00:11:13Well, hurry up.

00:11:14Comb these curls out.

00:11:15Yes, Miss Barbara.

00:11:16I'll leave.

00:11:17It's finished.

00:11:18It's all finished.

00:11:19Just one more.

00:11:20Can you hold just a little still, please?

00:11:21Give me that comb.

00:11:22You can pull on it.

00:11:23It won't come off.

00:11:24I didn't want to hurt you, Miss Barbara.

00:11:25Get my perfume, the Clair de Lune Bleu.

00:11:27Yes, Miss.

00:11:28Is Mother ready?

00:11:29Yes, I got her done an hour ago.

00:11:30What's she wearing?

00:11:31A new one from Hendricks.

00:11:32What's it like?

00:11:33You don't have to worry, Miss.

00:11:34It's nothing like yours.

00:11:35Which one did you say, Miss Barbara?

00:11:36Clair de Lune Bleu.

00:11:37Yes, Clair de Lune Bleu.

00:11:38Bleu.

00:11:39Bleu.

00:11:40Bleu.

00:11:41Bleu.

00:11:42That isn't right, but you're getting warm.

00:11:43Oh, thank you, Miss.

00:11:44Here's your coat, Miss Barbara.

00:11:45All right.

00:11:46Bring it along.

00:11:47Which flowers would you like, Miss Barbara?

00:11:48I don't care.

00:11:49Any of them.

00:11:50I think these would look very nice on you.

00:11:51They're terrible.

00:11:52Give me the gardenias.

00:11:53Yes, Miss Barbara.

00:11:54Call me at noon tomorrow.

00:11:55Be sure that I get up.

00:11:56Yes, Miss Barbara.

00:11:57And you call that Swedish girl.

00:12:01You shouldn't dance so much, Miss Barbara.

00:12:02If Mr. Warrington calls, tell him to call back.

00:12:03If Mr. Patton calls, tell him I have smallpox.

00:12:04Yes, Miss.

00:12:05A headache for Mr. Patton.

00:12:06Where's my bag?

00:12:07Oh, I forgot it.

00:12:08Well, get it.

00:12:09Mother, I'm ready.

00:12:10Where's Mother, Walter?

00:12:11Are you ready?

00:12:12All but one cuffling.

00:12:13Mother, please.

00:12:14Oh, my darling child.

00:12:15You look so sweet.

00:12:16And that color's so good for you, too.

00:12:17Oh, maybe you're good for the cold.

00:12:18You're so beautiful.

00:12:19You're so beautiful.

00:12:20You're so beautiful.

00:12:21You're so beautiful.

00:12:22You're so beautiful.

00:12:23You're so beautiful.

00:12:24You're so beautiful.

00:12:25You're so beautiful.

00:12:26Mother, let's get started.

00:12:27Even Walter's ready.

00:12:28All ready and raring to go.

00:12:29But we can't go for quite a while yet.

00:12:30Oh, good.

00:12:31What's the matter now?

00:12:32Well, George and Terry aren't back with your cousin Constance yet.

00:12:33And they have the car.

00:12:34Well, let's take one of the other cars.

00:12:35Which one, my dear?

00:12:36The sedan is waiting for your father at his office.

00:12:37My little town car is in the garage having an oil treatment or whatever you call those

00:12:38things.

00:12:39And the big town car we can't use because the second chauffeur's off today.

00:12:40You know, the one who was born in February.

00:12:41Oh, I see.

00:12:42I see.

00:12:43I see.

00:13:54I see.

00:13:55But where are you now?

00:13:56I need a dancer!

00:13:57No, Miss Barbara.

00:13:58Miss.

00:13:59Miss.

00:14:00Miss Barbara.

00:14:01Miss.

00:14:02Miss.

00:14:03What is it?

00:14:04Miss.

00:14:05No.

00:14:06No.

00:14:07Yes.

00:14:08There's one dancing back there.

00:14:09Come here, Miss.

00:14:10I know.

00:14:11But really.

00:14:12Here they are.

00:14:13Hello, where have you been?

00:14:14I'm sorry we're so late, Miss Barbara.

00:14:15We had a flat tire, ma'am.

00:14:16A flat tire, on an $ 8,000 automobile?

00:14:17Impossible.

00:14:18We almost had to take a taxi.

00:14:19I'm very sorry, Mr. Bolton.

00:14:20You tell me all about that flat tire in the morning, Perry.

00:14:21Yes, ma'am, but I thought I.

00:14:22Oh, my baby, I'm so glad to see you.

00:14:26Barbara, you haven't said a word to Connie.

00:14:28Hello, Connie.

00:14:29So happy you managed to get here.

00:14:31Walter, what have you to say to your cousin?

00:14:34Hi.

00:14:35Hello.

00:14:36We have to run.

00:14:37Some friends are waiting.

00:14:38We don't want to be late, but I'll

00:14:39cast your horoscope the first thing in the morning.

00:14:41Do you still sing?

00:14:42Yes, I do.

00:14:43Oh, I don't know why.

00:14:44And George, the minute Mr. Clinton comes in,

00:14:46be sure and tell him to go right by me.

00:14:48By the time we get there, there won't be a photographer left.

00:14:50Goodbye, Connie.

00:14:51Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye.

00:14:57I'll show you to your room, miss.

00:15:01Please come this way.

00:15:07What time do you think Uncle Jim will be home?

00:15:09You mean Mr. Clinton, miss?

00:15:10Yes.

00:15:11The Goings and Cummings of this family are none of my affair.

00:15:14But I might say, if they're out, Mr. Clinton usually is here.

00:15:18If they're here, Mr. Clinton usually is not.

00:15:21Out.

00:15:23This way, miss.

00:15:31Here's your room, miss.

00:15:43Shall I put the window down, miss?

00:15:45Mm-hmm.

00:15:46I said, shall I put the window down?

00:15:48No, thank you.

00:15:49It's all right.

00:15:50May I help you unpack, miss?

00:15:52I think I can do it myself.

00:15:54Will there be anything else?

00:15:55Nothing.

00:15:56Very well, miss.

00:15:57There'll be a light supper served in the dining room

00:15:59just as soon as you are ready for it, miss.

00:16:01No, thank you.

00:16:02But surely you'll want something.

00:16:04I don't feel like eating.

00:16:06Very well, miss.

00:16:50Pardon me, miss.

00:16:53Supper all ready?

00:16:54Why, you certainly do things quickly around here, don't you?

00:16:57I thought you said that...

00:16:58Well, I'll be down as soon as I've changed.

00:17:00Certainly, miss.

00:17:01And don't make that supper too light.

00:17:02I'm famished.

00:17:04Some more chicken, miss?

00:17:05Oh, I couldn't really.

00:17:07Are you sure, miss?

00:17:08Oh, yes.

00:17:09Very good, miss.

00:17:10There is another little piece of white meat.

00:17:13Yes, there is another little piece of white meat.

00:17:15Oh, yes.

00:17:16Oh, yes.

00:17:17Oh, yes.

00:17:17Yes, there is another little piece of white meat, miss.

00:17:20I know what you're thinking.

00:17:21I hope not, miss.

00:17:22You're wondering if I always change my mind.

00:17:24I'll get your hot chocolate, miss.

00:17:25Oh, I don't want any, thank you.

00:17:27Will that be all, then, miss?

00:17:28Mm-hmm.

00:17:29Very good, miss.

00:17:33Do you think if one makes up one's mind about doing something,

00:17:35that that really helps one to do it?

00:17:37Indubitably, miss.

00:17:38Well, here's what I mean.

00:17:39I made up my mind that I like this house,

00:17:41and I like everybody in it,

00:17:42and everybody in it's going to like me.

00:17:43Very cheerful thought, miss.

00:17:45They didn't have to have me come here to live with them

00:17:47if they didn't want me, did they?

00:17:48No, miss, they did not.

00:17:49My Uncle Jim asked me to come here.

00:17:50So Mrs. Clinton told me, miss.

00:17:52Say, don't you ever smile.

00:17:53I'm sorry, miss, but if I may say so,

00:17:56gay butlers are a trifle rare.

00:18:00Do you like singing?

00:18:02Yes, I do, miss, and no, I don't,

00:18:04if you know what I mean.

00:18:05I'm sorry.

00:18:06Either you do or you don't.

00:18:08Well, it's this way, miss.

00:18:09Some people consider,

00:18:11boop, boop, diddum, daddum, waddum,

00:18:13an inspiring cantata.

00:18:15My preference is for something above that, miss.

00:18:17Oh.

00:18:19I'm sorry, miss.

00:18:21I'm sorry, too.

00:18:24Da da da da da da da da da

00:19:20Ma sei assol'ingrasa come me.

00:20:25Amatura, lindesima amatura,

00:20:31Sera sempre mia, amatura sola.

00:20:56See that there's no more noise until they get in there.

00:20:59Very well, sir.

00:21:06Uncle Jim?

00:21:09Uncle Jim!

00:21:11I...

00:21:14I just wanted to thank you for everything.

00:21:17No thanks necessary.

00:21:19You've done so much for me and...

00:21:21Oh, I signed a few checks.

00:21:22I do that all the time.

00:21:23My sister's child.

00:21:24We always take care of our own.

00:21:26Like to do it.

00:21:27And I like being here, too, Uncle Jim.

00:21:29You like being here?

00:21:30Uh-huh.

00:21:31You met your cousins?

00:21:32Yes.

00:21:33You met your Aunt Grace?

00:21:34Yes.

00:21:35And you like being here?

00:21:37Oh, yes.

00:21:40It's a nice feeling.

00:21:42Nice feeling.

00:21:51Is there anything you want before you go to bed, child?

00:21:54We've got a big watermelon in the icebox.

00:21:57No, thank you.

00:21:58Don't start taking them too seriously, miss.

00:22:01You'll get used to them.

00:22:02Sure.

00:22:03We did.

00:22:06Good night.

00:22:07Good night, miss.

00:22:08And pleasant dreams.

00:22:11Good night.

00:22:20Good afternoon, Miss Barbara.

00:22:22I've been waiting for you to wake up.

00:22:24Your pictures are in all the morning papers.

00:22:27What time is it?

00:22:28It's a little after 2.

00:22:30Which kind?

00:22:31I brought orange juice, tomato juice, grapefruit, and grapes.

00:22:35Sauerkraut.

00:22:36Oh, I never seem to be able to guess.

00:22:38I might have known you'd be in the mood for sauerkraut today.

00:22:41When Mr. Drake called, I told him.

00:22:43Who called?

00:22:44Mr. Drake.

00:22:45He called twice.

00:22:46Why didn't you wake me up?

00:22:47Well, I tried to both times.

00:22:49You did not.

00:22:50Oh, yes, I did.

00:22:51The pillow the first time, and then you threw the alarm clock the second time.

00:22:55Where'd he call from?

00:22:56Right here.

00:22:57He just got back in town.

00:22:58What'd he say?

00:22:59He just said he was going over to the club and wanted you to go riding with he and Miss

00:23:02Flory and Miss Van Everett and a lot of people, and they were leaving at 2.30 sharp.

00:23:05Never be able to get there by 2.30.

00:23:07Couldn't you telephone him and ask him to wait?

00:23:09And make him think I'm running after him?

00:23:11I'd run after him.

00:23:12The papers say he's the catch of the season.

00:23:14If I could only stop him from leaving till I get there.

00:23:16I have an idea how to stop him, Miss Barber.

00:23:18You'd call me when he phoned.

00:23:19You wouldn't need any of your ideas.

00:23:21But it's a good idea, Miss Barber.

00:23:22Really, it is.

00:23:23I'm sure it is.

00:23:24I could hurry out to the club, see Mr. Drake, and think.

00:23:26That would stop him.

00:23:27Have this shined.

00:23:28Or I could throw myself under his horse's hoof.

00:23:30It wouldn't hurt me.

00:23:31I wouldn't mind doing it for you because I'm...

00:23:33Get that cousin of mine.

00:23:34Yes, Miss.

00:23:35If she isn't here by the time I count 10, you're fired.

00:23:37Yes, Miss.

00:23:42Miss Connie.

00:23:43What is it?

00:23:44Miss Barber wants you this minute.

00:23:45Please hurry.

00:23:46Yes, all right, Agnes.

00:23:48Miss Connie, you'll be right in.

00:23:49Oh, I am?

00:23:50Oh, you are.

00:23:52Never mind.

00:24:00Yes, Barber.

00:24:01I want you to do something for me.

00:24:02Some friends of mine are going riding

00:24:03at the country club in a half hour,

00:24:04and I want you to delay their start till I get there.

00:24:06Understand?

00:24:07Well, you mean stop them?

00:24:08Yes, at least stop Ted Drake.

00:24:09But I don't even know him.

00:24:10Well, you know what he looks like.

00:24:12No?

00:24:13Only the most notable young man in New York.

00:24:14You must have seen his picture.

00:24:16I don't think so.

00:24:17Well, you'll find one in that drawer.

00:24:19Which one?

00:24:20The top drawer.

00:24:22In the dresser?

00:24:23Yes, in the dresser.

00:24:24Just open it.

00:24:25You'll find it.

00:24:27I don't see any picture here.

00:24:29Oh, you don't see any picture.

00:24:30I told you it was there.

00:24:31Why don't you look for it?

00:24:33What do you think this is?

00:24:34Oh, I guess...

00:24:35Then please hurry.

00:24:37Well, what'll I say to him?

00:24:38I don't care what you say,

00:24:39as long as you keep him there.

00:24:41And be sure he doesn't know I sent you.

00:24:44I don't think I can do it, Barber.

00:24:46All right, don't then.

00:24:48Oh, I mean...

00:24:49After all this family's done for you,

00:24:50the first time we ask you to do something for us,

00:24:51you refuse.

00:24:54Well, I'll do it then,

00:24:55but I don't know what to do.

00:24:57Fade and make him revive you.

00:24:58Fall in front of him.

00:24:59Steal his horse.

00:25:00I don't care what you do,

00:25:01as long as he's there when I get there.

00:25:02And hurry!

00:25:08Off a little stroll, Miss Connick?

00:25:09Oh, yes.

00:25:10I mean, no.

00:25:11Oh, I'll need the car.

00:25:12Oh, and the hat.

00:25:13I left it in there.

00:25:14I'll get the car, Miss Connick.

00:25:15Thank you, will you?

00:25:16I'm in an awful hurry.

00:25:17Why?

00:25:18I have to stop Ted Drake's horse

00:25:19at the country club for Barbara.

00:25:20Oh, not his horse.

00:25:21Him, but he'll be on it.

00:25:22You know what I mean.

00:25:23Oh, perfectly.

00:25:24Well, I have to run now.

00:25:25Goodbye.

00:25:26Connie, give me a cigarette, please.

00:25:27Yes, a cigarette.

00:25:29When were you born, Connie?

00:25:30December the 4th.

00:25:31Sagittarius.

00:25:32Oh, how interesting.

00:25:34What time of day?

00:25:35Oh, I don't remember.

00:25:36I'm going to do your horoscope for you,

00:25:38so hurry back and I'll tell you all about yourself.

00:25:40Hmm?

00:25:41Yes, Aunt Grace.

00:25:47You'd better wait here.

00:25:48They might recognize the car.

00:25:49I'll keep the motor running

00:25:50in case we have to make a quick getaway.

00:25:51Thank you, Terry.

00:25:52I'm awfully nervous.

00:25:53Don't worry.

00:25:54Mr. Drake, are the horses ready, Dan?

00:25:56Yes, sir.

00:25:57What do you know?

00:25:5813's bad luck.

00:25:59Oh, but we're not superstitious, are we?

00:26:00Oh, let's wait for Barbara.

00:26:01Sure, it's all a little after 2.30.

00:26:03Let's go.

00:26:04Barbara's a dear, but if we wait for her,

00:26:05we'll have to make this a moonlight ride.

00:26:06She'll probably just arrive by the time we get back.

00:26:08All right, let's go.

00:26:09Oh, I think if we go off without her, it'll be good for us.

00:26:11Giddy, giddy, giddy.

00:26:12I still think we should wait for Barbara.

00:26:24Hey!

00:26:28Barbara know about this trip you're taking?

00:26:30I didn't even tell the family about it till this morning.

00:26:32When do you leave?

00:26:33About a month.

00:26:34We don't start up the Amazon in late September.

00:26:35The Amazon's a river, isn't it?

00:26:36Named after a certain tribe of women.

00:26:38Women?

00:26:39So that's what's behind this expedition.

00:26:40Barbara will be thrilled when she hears about this.

00:26:42Are you with us?

00:26:43No, I'm not with anybody.

00:26:44I'm alone.

00:26:45How cozy.

00:26:47Mr. Kirkpatrick!

00:26:48Wanted on the telephone!

00:26:53All right, Willie, I'll take it.

00:26:55Yes, sir.

00:26:56Won't be a minute.

00:27:05Mr. Drake!

00:27:06Wanted on the telephone!

00:27:10That must be Barbara.

00:27:11Maybe it's Dad.

00:27:12You go on along.

00:27:13Oh, we'll wait.

00:27:14No, no, go ahead.

00:27:15I'll meet you at the Willows.

00:27:16Don't be long.

00:27:17I won't.

00:27:18Very safe.

00:27:19Love you, too.

00:27:27Don't be afraid.

00:27:28I'm not going to hurt you.

00:27:29I just want to undo this.

00:27:30There.

00:27:31No, I'm not going to hurt you.

00:27:32See?

00:27:33Sugar.

00:27:34Sugar.

00:27:35See?

00:27:36I just want to undo this.

00:27:37See?

00:27:38There.

00:27:39That's it.

00:27:40Come on, get the sugar now.

00:27:41Come on.

00:27:42Got some more in here.

00:27:43You can have some more.

00:27:44Come on.

00:27:45Come on.

00:27:46Come on.

00:27:47Come on.

00:27:48Come on.

00:27:49Come on.

00:27:50Come on.

00:27:51Come on.

00:27:52Come on.

00:27:53Come on.

00:27:54Come on.

00:27:55Got some more in here.

00:27:56You can have that when you get to the barn.

00:27:57Here.

00:27:58See the sugar?

00:27:59Now, come on.

00:28:00Come on, get the sugar.

00:28:01See, I have a whole lot of it here.

00:28:02And you can have it all if you just come to the barn.

00:28:03Now, come on.

00:28:08Come on.

00:28:09Come on, I got some more for you.

00:28:10You like sugar, don't you?

00:28:12So do I.

00:28:13Come on.

00:28:14Come on, get the sugar.

00:28:15That's a good horsey.

00:28:17Come on.

00:28:18Come on.

00:28:19Say, did you call me to the phone?

00:28:20No, Mr. Drake.

00:28:21Well, there's nobody on it.

00:28:22And somebody called.

00:28:23I'm sorry, sir.

00:28:24What's going on with that horse?

00:28:27Come on.

00:28:28Come on, I got some more for you.

00:28:29Come on, there's lots more where this came from.

00:28:30Come on.

00:28:31Come on, there.

00:28:32That's it.

00:28:33I don't like my horse to have sugar.

00:28:34Oh, well, he likes it.

00:28:35Here.

00:28:38Hey, Chevron, come here, boy.

00:28:40Hey.

00:28:41Come on.

00:28:42Come here.

00:28:43Hey.

00:28:44Hey, Chevron.

00:28:45Here.

00:28:46Come back here.

00:28:47Here, fella, take this.

00:28:49Hey.

00:28:50Come on.

00:28:51The horse is having enough trouble with this jump

00:28:53without looking out for you.

00:28:55Oh, Chasen.

00:28:56Listen, Chasen, you lost chasing a horse not that way.

00:28:59Look out.

00:29:01Get out of here before another horse takes after you.

00:29:03What are you trying to do, kill yourself?

00:29:06Between stuffing my horse with sugar

00:29:08and making yourself a steeplechase hat,

00:29:10you'd better be careful.

00:29:11I'm not.

00:29:12I'm not.

00:29:13I'm not.

00:29:14I'm not.

00:29:15I'm not.

00:29:16I'm not.

00:29:17If you'd had a steeplechase hat, you'd have had a pretty busy day,

00:29:19hadn't you?

00:29:20If one of those jumpers had been short out there,

00:29:21you'd really have something to worry about.

00:29:23Now, run along and try and keep out of mischief.

00:29:25First sauce of this thing running around the forecourt

00:29:27while that head is getting away.

00:29:34Oh, come on.

00:29:36You're all right now.

00:29:37Is there a handkerchief in there?

00:29:39Let me get it for you.

00:29:40It's nothing.

00:29:41It's just the natural reactant.

00:29:43This white horse is an awful lot.

00:29:45No, I don't.

00:29:46I just...

00:29:47You carry a lot of sugar around for them, then.

00:29:49Oh, that...

00:29:50Could you show me the way out of here, please?

00:29:52You can get out the same way you got in.

00:29:53I'm sorry.

00:29:54I got some friends waiting.

00:29:55But it'd only take a few minutes.

00:29:56I'm a little dizzy.

00:29:57Well, that young lady is a masterpiece of understatement.

00:30:01You're the dizz...

00:30:08I wonder what's happened to her.

00:30:10Ted!

00:30:14What are you doing?

00:30:15This kid's fainted.

00:30:16She had a bad scare.

00:30:17You get some water.

00:30:18I'll take care of it.

00:30:19Who is she?

00:30:20I don't know.

00:30:21You better run down to the barn and get some water.

00:30:22All right.

00:30:23I'll be right back.

00:30:27All right.

00:30:28Thanks.

00:30:29You won.

00:30:30You didn't have to kill yourself.

00:30:32But you told me to keep him here.

00:30:33I didn't tell you.

00:30:34I didn't tell you.

00:30:35I didn't tell you.

00:30:36I didn't tell you.

00:30:37I didn't tell you.

00:30:38I didn't tell you.

00:30:39I didn't tell you.

00:30:40I kept you here!

00:30:41I didn't tell you to keep him here, Barbara.

00:30:42I didn't tell you to hang on his neck.

00:30:43Oh, but I didn't.

00:30:44He just held me up.

00:30:45All right, now go on home and don't let anybody see you.

00:30:46Well, I just wanted to thank him.

00:30:47He was awfully nice of him.

00:30:48Do you want to spoil everything now?

00:30:49Oh, no.

00:30:50No.

00:30:51Then get out of here before he gets back.

00:30:52And hurry up.

00:30:53But Barbara, if you'd only have let me see him...

00:30:55Will you do it your toe for a change?

00:30:58But I only want to thank him, Barbara...

00:30:59Oh, thank him.

00:31:01Now, go on home before he sees you again.

00:31:02But...

00:31:03Can you get my horse out, Frankie?

00:31:05Oh, yes, Miss Clifton.

00:31:06Right away.

00:31:07What's happened to our patient?

00:31:08Oh, that little brat.

00:31:09The minute you left, she ran off like a rabbit.

00:31:11She's a funny kid.

00:31:12Who do you think she is?

00:31:13You mean to say you don't know?

00:31:14Now, wait a minute.

00:31:15The first time I ever saw her in my life

00:31:16was when I caught her feeding sugar to my horse.

00:31:18I like your story.

00:31:19Your trouble is, girls just will chase you around.

00:31:21Hello, Wilma.

00:31:22Barbara, I'm so glad you finally got here.

00:31:24The gang went on, Ted.

00:31:25I'll get my horse and be right back.

00:31:27You look lovely, Barb.

00:31:28If I slept this late, I'd have to get up early.

00:31:30You're priceless, Wilma.

00:31:31You always look the same no matter what you do.

00:31:33Mademoiselle Bristol says that whenever she gives me a facial.

00:31:35You ought to try her for that frown.

00:31:37She's marvelous taking bad lines out.

00:31:39She must be miraculous.

00:31:40She is.

00:31:41You'd be surprised what she can do for your nerves.

00:31:43That's where you plump people are lucky.

00:31:45You have no nerves.

00:31:46Here you are, Miss Clifton.

00:31:47Be careful, dear.

00:31:48That hat might make him a little skittish.

00:31:50Oh, don't worry about the general.

00:31:51He has better taste than most people.

00:31:53They say horses always know more than their riders.

00:31:55Which path will we take, girls?

00:31:57This one.

00:31:58Which path will we take, girls?

00:31:59The upper one is shorter.

00:32:00But I'm afraid there are too many jumps for Barbara.

00:32:02Oh, don't worry about me.

00:32:03The upper road is at least 10 minutes faster.

00:32:05Ted and I'll accept that challenge.

00:32:06We'll take the lower one and race you there.

00:32:08Come on, Ted.

00:32:09All right, let's go.

00:32:10Careful of those jumps, dear.

00:32:23Barbara!

00:32:24How nice of you to hurry home for tea.

00:32:26Tea?

00:32:27What's tea?

00:32:28My dear pet, what happened to you?

00:32:30Wilma Van Everett.

00:32:31Well, what did little Wilma do?

00:32:33Little Wilma?

00:32:34I'd like to kill little Wilma.

00:32:35Well, what did she do to you, dear?

00:32:36Something horrible, I trust.

00:32:38She just succeeded in making herself utterly ridiculous

00:32:40in front of everybody at the club this afternoon.

00:32:42Acting like such a fool over Ted Drake,

00:32:44it almost made me ill.

00:32:45That's terrible.

00:32:46Put them there kindly.

00:32:47All right.

00:32:48You certainly covered yourself with glory today.

00:32:50Well, I only tried.

00:32:51You tried brilliantly.

00:32:52Never mind, never mind.

00:32:53Now tell your story, Barbara.

00:32:54You wouldn't believe it unless you were there.

00:32:56I would.

00:32:57She only advertised to everybody present

00:32:59that she was head over heels in love with Ted Drake.

00:33:01That's silly.

00:33:02It was revolting.

00:33:03Why?

00:33:04Girls do fall in love with Ted all the time.

00:33:06You don't know what you're talking about.

00:33:07She only just met him.

00:33:08Love at first sight.

00:33:09I've read about it.

00:33:10It's very rare.

00:33:11A Leo and Sagittarius might do it if Saturn were in accord.

00:33:15Let this be her birthday at December the 4th.

00:33:17How do you know?

00:33:19I certainly shouldn't.

00:33:20Oh, you know her, do you?

00:33:22Well, what do you know?

00:33:23Everybody knows Wilma Van Everett.

00:33:25She has twice as much publicity as you do.

00:33:27She does not.

00:33:28Does.

00:33:29Mother.

00:33:30Walda.

00:33:31Isn't that strange?

00:33:32That's the same birthday as you have, isn't it, Connie?

00:33:35Yes, yes, that's right.

00:33:37December the 4th.

00:33:38I'm going to fix Miss Van Everett all right.

00:33:40I'll see her at the Drake's party.

00:33:42Oh, the Drake's going to have a party?

00:33:43On the 29th.

00:33:44And by that time, I'll have something very choice figured out.

00:33:46Everybody in town will know about it

00:33:47because everybody's going to be there.

00:33:49Everybody?

00:33:50Connie, what are you going to wear?

00:33:53To the party, you mean?

00:33:54Oh, I haven't been.

00:33:55I'm not going.

00:33:57Am I?

00:33:58Of course you are.

00:33:59Sister just said everybody's going.

00:34:01I haven't any.

00:34:02I'd have to wear...

00:34:03It's formal, isn't it?

00:34:05Barbara's probably got something upstairs in the dress department

00:34:07that'd suit you perfect.

00:34:09How about it, sister?

00:34:10And have people say she's wearing my cast off.

00:34:12We wouldn't want that, would we?

00:34:14No.

00:34:15No, of course not.

00:34:16But I could wear my...

00:34:17Wait a minute, you're interrupting.

00:34:18Yes, Connie, you could what?

00:34:20Well, I was just going to mention

00:34:21that I could wear my graduation dress.

00:34:22It's very pretty and it's long and white.

00:34:24All white.

00:34:25Well, white's a pretty color.

00:34:26Yes.

00:34:27This isn't a garden party.

00:34:28Well, I...

00:34:29I couldn't make it into an evening dress.

00:34:30I just had to fix the sleeves...

00:34:31See how simple it is?

00:34:33Well, I'll go up now and start figuring out

00:34:34just what to do with it.

00:34:35And thank you.

00:34:36Thank you very much.

00:34:37I took sewing in school, you know.

00:34:39I'll have to fix the skirt a little bit

00:34:41and maybe I can fix the neck.

00:34:43Mother, we're not going to drag her to the ball.

00:34:45If she fixes her dress and it looks all right,

00:34:47I'm afraid we'll have to take her now.

00:34:49You can't get out of it.

00:34:50You're very smart,

00:34:51but don't think I'm going to be bothered with her

00:34:52once she gets there.

00:34:53You must be nice to her at the ball, sister.

00:34:55Or people have an excuse to say some of the things

00:34:57they've been thinking about you for years.

00:35:04I'm going to the Drake's Ball.

00:35:06What are you going to do?

00:35:07I'm going to the Drake's Ball.

00:35:08No fooling.

00:35:09Absolutely.

00:35:10See, I have to cut the sleeves out of this maybe.

00:35:12I have to make this into an evening dress.

00:35:13Does the Duchess know you're going?

00:35:15By breath, certainly.

00:35:16Do you think a tight, loose sash

00:35:17should add enough color to that?

00:35:18They only just told me about it, you know.

00:35:20I didn't dream I was going.

00:35:21Oh, that's wonderful, Miss Connie.

00:35:23I'm so happy for you.

00:35:24Thank you, Agnes.

00:35:25I do want to look pretty when he sees me this time.

00:35:27I mean, when people see me this time.

00:35:29Well, I mean, you know.

00:35:31When who sees you this time?

00:35:32Everybody.

00:35:33Everybody in New York's going to be here.

00:35:35Now, let me see.

00:35:36What slipper should I wear?

00:35:37But who's the he you were just talking about?

00:35:39I didn't mean any particular person.

00:35:40I didn't even mean...

00:35:41Do you think these slippers will be all right?

00:35:42They won't show much with this skirt being long.

00:35:44Do you think...

00:35:45Well, maybe if I cut the neckline lower

00:35:46and sort of flare out the skirt.

00:35:48Ollie could tell you.

00:35:49She makes all her own clothes.

00:35:50Do you think she'd mind?

00:35:51Oh, no, Miss Connie.

00:35:52Ollie loves it.

00:35:53I didn't know you knew any he in New York.

00:35:56I didn't know any he.

00:35:57I mean, anybody.

00:35:58Just because you see a person

00:35:59doesn't mean you know a person, does it?

00:36:01Don't it?

00:36:02Certainly not.

00:36:03Let's go ask Ollie about the dress.

00:36:04She's in the kitchen.

00:36:06You know what?

00:36:07Miss Connie's going to...

00:36:08Yes.

00:36:09George told us.

00:36:10Oh.

00:36:11Oh, they tell you about it?

00:36:12I couldn't help overhearing this,

00:36:13and I must say I'm almost as happy

00:36:14as if I were going myself.

00:36:15Yes, I've never been to a really big party

00:36:16like this before.

00:36:17It's going to be a great night for you.

00:36:18Yes, it certainly will.

00:36:19Is that the dress you want to make over?

00:36:20Yes, it is, Ollie.

00:36:21Agnes said you might help me with it.

00:36:22May I put it down here?

00:36:23Yes, put it anywhere, Miss.

00:36:24Thank you.

00:36:25You see, it still has sleeves in it.

00:36:26I thought maybe if we'd only use the skirt up to here

00:36:27and then make a bodice

00:36:28and then sort of flirt this gown.

00:36:30Don't mind me.

00:36:31I only eat here.

00:36:33That's my brother, Mike.

00:36:35This is Miss Connie.

00:36:36You know.

00:36:37I told you about her singing.

00:36:38How do you do?

00:36:39Go ahead.

00:36:40Don't let me stop the operation.

00:36:42I'm used to blood.

00:36:43Have you any more of this material?

00:36:44No, but I have a yard of silver lace upstairs.

00:36:46Maybe you can use that.

00:36:47Only a yard?

00:36:48Yes, but it's very pretty.

00:36:49I'll run up and get it.

00:36:50It's a yard long and a yard wide,

00:36:51and the design's lovely.

00:36:52You'll see what I mean.

00:36:53It's a good thing it wasn't one of the others

00:36:55that found you here.

00:36:56They would have called the police.

00:36:57Fine crack.

00:36:58Think you can fix it up all right?

00:36:59Well, I can try.

00:37:00I wish the waist was higher.

00:37:01Here, hold this.

00:37:02Gotta look beautiful at that ball

00:37:04for a very special reason.

00:37:05What's his name?

00:37:06What do you think I am, a tattletale?

00:37:08How about Hoops?

00:37:09Never mind the Hoops.

00:37:10You better watch that rooster.

00:37:11We'll have a terrible dinner.

00:37:12Oh, my precious.

00:37:13Well done might be all right for the family,

00:37:15but I like my beef rare.

00:37:17Well, what can I do?

00:37:18Why don't you put some feathers on it?

00:37:20How about those things on the shoulders

00:37:21like football players wear?

00:37:23I just don't know what to do.

00:37:25I can tell you.

00:37:26This ought to be good.

00:37:28You take this dress, and first you hide it away,

00:37:32and then you go out and you buy her a whole new outfit.

00:37:35With what?

00:37:36With money.

00:37:37Whose money?

00:37:38My money and your money.

00:37:39And mine too.

00:37:40Count me in.

00:37:41And me?

00:37:42Which only goes to show you don't get nothing

00:37:44for nothing in this world, not even from your own sister.

00:37:47How much?

00:38:00Why, it wasn't hard to do at all, miss.

00:38:02I just bought another yard or two of that place

00:38:04and changed the skirt here and there.

00:38:06Every bit of it seems different.

00:38:08Well, when I remodel a dress, Miss Connie,

00:38:10I really remodel it.

00:38:11I had to bring them up and see how she looked.

00:38:13Well, it's a perfect fit.

00:38:14It's really magnificent.

00:38:16I still can't believe it's slippers.

00:38:18Wally did a lot of work on it.

00:38:19May I put these on, please?

00:38:21These aren't my slippers.

00:38:23Well, you see, we took them out to a man

00:38:25to have some silver put on, you know, like this.

00:38:28Like dyeing.

00:38:29Yes, and while he was doing it, he spilled it all inside

00:38:32and you couldn't have worn them anyway.

00:38:33So he only did what was right.

00:38:35He got you a new pair.

00:38:36Oh, he shouldn't have done that.

00:38:38He's insured.

00:38:39Do they feel all right?

00:38:40I guess.

00:38:42Well, they're just a little bit new,

00:38:44but they fit perfectly.

00:38:45Come in.

00:38:47I just wanted to see how you looked, Miss.

00:38:49You couldn't even tell it was the same dress.

00:38:50You really look like a picture.

00:38:52I don't see how.

00:38:53Oh, Ollie must have worked day and night.

00:38:55Oh, turn around a minute.

00:38:56How does the skirt hang?

00:38:57Perfect.

00:38:58Why don't you go in Miss Barbara's room?

00:38:59You can see how you really look.

00:39:01Oh, that's a good idea.

00:39:02I'll be back in a minute.

00:39:03Oh, just a second, Miss.

00:39:04Just a second.

00:39:07Oh, thank you.

00:39:08These just can't wear, Miss.

00:39:09Oh, a corsage.

00:39:10How lovely.

00:39:11Who sent it?

00:39:12There wasn't any card in it.

00:39:13Probably some admirer who knew you were going to the ball.

00:39:15Oh, you mean...

00:39:17No.

00:39:18How could he?

00:39:19Oh, I don't think so.

00:39:20But they just match your dress.

00:39:21Now, isn't that nice?

00:39:22Ollie!

00:39:23Oh, I've been expecting that.

00:39:25Ollie, where have you been?

00:39:26Well, I just...

00:39:27I want a large chiffon handkerchief.

00:39:28Black.

00:39:29I'll get back the bracelet.

00:39:30Yes, ma'am.

00:39:33Pardon me a minute, Barbara.

00:39:34Excuse me.

00:39:35I just want to see how the skirt hangs in the back.

00:39:37I think it's all right, don't you?

00:39:39What school did you graduate from in that dress?

00:39:41We fixed it all up.

00:39:42You like it?

00:39:43I think the skirt hangs perfect.

00:39:44Oh, I forgot my locket.

00:39:45I better go get it.

00:39:46You look very nice, too, Barbara.

00:39:48Thanks.

00:39:49Only, I don't think I'd look so good in black.

00:39:52Oh, and you'd better hurry, Barbara.

00:39:53We don't want to be too late.

00:39:56Did you see that?

00:39:57Yes, Miss.

00:39:58I think she looks very nice.

00:39:59What's the matter with her?

00:40:00Has she gone crazy, storming in here patronizing me?

00:40:03Oh, no, Miss Barbara.

00:40:04She's just so thrilled about going to the Drake's and all.

00:40:06She's taking an awful lot for granted.

00:40:07She isn't there yet.

00:40:08Bring my rags.

00:40:09Yes, Miss.

00:40:12Did you hear that?

00:40:13Yes.

00:40:14What'd she say?

00:40:16Mother, are you ready?

00:40:17Yes, dear.

00:40:18I was looking up the stars for tonight,

00:40:19and we're going to have a really marvelous evening.

00:40:21I doubt that.

00:40:22Oh, you mustn't doubt the stars, dear.

00:40:23They control your destiny, whether you like it or not.

00:40:25Well, are we ready?

00:40:26That's a very smart gown you have on, actually.

00:40:28Oh, thank you.

00:40:29Have you seen my new vest?

00:40:30No, but Connie, it's amazing.

00:40:32My rags, please.

00:40:33Mother, shall we go?

00:40:34Certainly.

00:40:35George, is the car waiting?

00:40:36Yes, Miss Connie.

00:40:37Your secret case.

00:40:38Where did you find it, George?

00:40:39I found it at Mr. Clifton's study.

00:40:40Oh, dear.

00:40:41Well, I mean, it makes up a lot of people's minds.

00:40:43Have you seen the newspaper?

00:40:44The society page is full of details about the ball.

00:40:46Really?

00:40:47It mentioned the names of all the famous people

00:40:48who were going to be there, and lots of them.

00:40:50It's sure to be a brilliant affair.

00:40:52Oh, yes.

00:40:53I hope they don't just play rumbus.

00:40:54You'd prefer a waltz.

00:40:55I like waltzes.

00:40:56I do, too.

00:40:57So do I.

00:40:58Dreamy ones.

00:40:59My rags.

00:41:00This one, Miss Barbara?

00:41:01No, the other one.

00:41:02Mother, I think I'll wear your pearl bracelet.

00:41:05Certainly, dear.

00:41:06This isn't mine.

00:41:07It is tonight, Miss.

00:41:08Tomorrow it goes back in Cousin Egbert's show window.

00:41:10Oh, but really, I...

00:41:11Miss.

00:41:13If Mr. Clinton comes, tell him we'll be late.

00:41:15Yes, ma'am.

00:41:16Mother, suppose Uncle Jason comes in from Washington tonight

00:41:18and we're all out.

00:41:19Well, what makes you think he's coming tonight?

00:41:20Oh, nothing, except Aunt Louise said yesterday that he might.

00:41:23She did?

00:41:24Yes, I forgot to tell you about it when she called.

00:41:26Oh, let's all hope he doesn't arrive until tomorrow.

00:41:28But if he does come and there isn't even one member of the family at home,

00:41:30we'll never hear the end of it.

00:41:31I'll be glad to stay and welcome him, sister.

00:41:33He hates the sight of you.

00:41:34Can't say that I blame him.

00:41:35How about Father?

00:41:36Oh, your father won't be home until all hours.

00:41:38Well, it's no great problem.

00:41:39Connie can stay and sing to him or something.

00:41:42You don't mind, do you, Connie?

00:41:43Tonight?

00:41:44Now?

00:41:45Your dear to do it, Connie.

00:41:48You mean I...

00:41:49I'm to wait here?

00:41:50Just make our excuses.

00:41:51Then fuss over him when he arrives.

00:41:53No, I...

00:41:55No.

00:41:56No, you're not really going to make me miss the party.

00:41:59You can't.

00:42:00That isn't fair.

00:42:01You could have told me sooner so I wouldn't plan and...

00:42:05And wait and...

00:42:06You're going to argue about everything we ask you to do, Connie.

00:42:08I'll stay myself.

00:42:09Oh, no, you can't do that.

00:42:10The Drakes would be offended.

00:42:12We'll make it up to you, Connie.

00:42:14Barbara, you're only...

00:42:16I sure think you'd be happy to do something for us once in a while.

00:42:19I could have told you a week ago this had happened.

00:42:21Just wanted to see if I guessed right.

00:42:23I did.

00:42:24Night.

00:42:29Harry!

00:42:30Sorry, madam.

00:43:00Harry!

00:43:30DAD

00:43:41All right.

00:43:44I'll stay home.

00:43:46I'll say you will.

00:43:50Going to the ball wasn't my idea in the first place.

00:43:52You were pretty anxious.

00:43:54I like to dance.

00:43:55Is there anything wrong with that?

00:43:56Who would you dance with?

00:43:58Ted Drake?

00:43:59Oh, that's silly.

00:44:01Of course it's silly.

00:44:02That's who you mean.

00:44:04And it's twice as silly to be getting

00:44:05any foolish ideas about it.

00:44:07I'm not getting any foolish ideas.

00:44:09Oh, no?

00:44:11What about that picture you cut out of the newspaper?

00:44:13Who was that?

00:44:14Ted Drake, that's who.

00:44:16Well, I just cut it out.

00:44:18There wasn't any reason for cutting it out.

00:44:20I suppose there isn't any reason for keeping

00:44:22it hidden in that book, either.

00:44:24In what book?

00:44:25In what book?

00:44:26In that book.

00:44:27That?

00:44:29Stop being a silly girl.

00:44:30Get that picture and tear it up and throw it

00:44:32away this very minute.

00:44:34That's just exactly what I'm going to do.

00:44:36I'll throw it away.

00:44:37Here, see?

00:44:38I'm tearing it up.

00:44:40I don't want to hear any more about him

00:44:41or think any more about him or have any more silly ideas

00:44:43about myself or anybody like.

00:44:47Georgia, I didn't know you.

00:44:50I knocked twice, miss.

00:44:51And when I heard you talking to someone,

00:44:53I thought I'd better step in.

00:44:54Well, there's no one in here talking.

00:44:58Oh, I must have been talking to myself.

00:45:01I'm sorry to interrupt, miss, but everything's

00:45:03been arranged, and you're going to the ball after all.

00:45:06I am?

00:45:07Indeed you are, miss.

00:45:08Uncle Jason's still in Washington.

00:45:09Oh, but Aunt Grace said, well, they'll be there.

00:45:11They won't arrive until midnight, miss.

00:45:13Midnight?

00:45:14Oh, they'll be there long before that.

00:45:15They've been gone for.

00:45:16Oh, no, they won't, miss.

00:45:17Everything's been changed about.

00:45:18You'll be there and back before they even arrive.

00:45:20How will I go, miss?

00:45:21In your car, and it's a Fitman.

00:45:23Well, who'll take me?

00:45:24You'll have an escort of six white bikes.

00:45:25Six white what?

00:45:26The motor police.

00:45:29And there they are, miss.

00:45:34You mean I'm to go with them?

00:45:36They'll get you there before you can see Jack Robinson.

00:45:38Mike told me you were in a hurry.

00:45:39Mike?

00:45:40My brother, miss.

00:45:41These lads worked with him.

00:45:42They even borrowed the commissioner's car.

00:45:44Now, remember, miss, you're not to stay

00:45:45a minute later than 12 o'clock.

00:45:47I won't.

00:45:48And the boys will be waiting for you to bring you back.

00:45:52I just want to tell you all how much I appreciate all this.

00:45:56I'll never forget you.

00:46:00I'll never forget you.

00:46:02I'll live hard and see.

00:46:04I know you can't believe it.

00:46:05I know you can't believe it.

00:46:07That's all right, miss.

00:46:08You had the time of your life.

00:46:09You had the time of your life.

00:46:10Remember 12 o'clock.

00:46:12I'll never forget that day that you'll see us.

00:46:26Everybody gone?

00:46:33Everybody, sir.

00:46:34That's good.

00:46:35What time will they be back?

00:46:36Very late.

00:46:37I'm quite sure, sir.

00:46:38That's good, too.

00:46:39Motorcycle.

00:46:40What will that family think of next?

00:46:43I really don't know, sir.

00:46:45See that there's no noise around here until they get back.

00:46:48Very well, sir.

00:46:49Will that be all, sir?

00:46:50That'll be all.

00:46:51Police.

00:46:52Passports.

00:46:53Sir.

00:46:54No.

00:46:55Well, have you got it or ain't you got it?

00:47:11I know I had it yesterday.

00:47:12I usually keep it in the pocket in the store.

00:47:15I don't want to know anything about your personal habits, fellow.

00:47:17All I want is to see the owner's license.

00:47:19Terry, tell the young man we have to go now.

00:47:21Yes, ma'am.

00:47:22Just as soon as...

00:47:23That's ridiculous.

00:47:24Maybe it is and maybe it ain't, sister.

00:47:26But I got to stop all cars of this make and model and see the owner's license or else

00:47:29take them in.

00:47:30This is my father's car.

00:47:31Maybe.

00:47:32Come on.

00:47:33Come on, buddy.

00:47:34You're making a big mistake, officer.

00:47:35This is Mr. Clinton's car.

00:47:36This is Mr. Clinton's family.

00:47:37That ain't my mistake, bud.

00:47:38That's Mr. Clinton's.

00:47:39Now, officer, we can't stay here all night.

00:47:41People are waiting for us and we're all going to a party.

00:47:43Ah, none of that.

00:47:44I got to work till 2.30.

00:47:46You're being very insolent.

00:47:47I don't think you realize who we are.

00:47:49Oh, yes, I do.

00:47:50We're three people all dressed up, riding around in a car you ain't even got a owner's

00:47:53license for.

00:47:54Do we look like the kind of people who would steal an automobile?

00:47:57Why should I answer that and make you sore?

00:47:59You'll pay for this.

00:48:00We know our rights.

00:48:01And when I tell my father what you've done to us...

00:48:02All I know is, lady, that I got to do my duty and I'm doing it.

00:48:06How do I know that ain't a dead body?

00:48:08Why, that's Walter.

00:48:10Say something to the officer, Walter.

00:48:13Hello.

00:48:14See?

00:48:15He's all right.

00:48:18Could be ventriloquism.

00:48:20Take a move.

00:48:22You think I'm a dummy?

00:48:23I'll pass that question, too, brother.

00:48:25You're being deliberately difficult.

00:48:26You're humiliating us and keeping us here without any cause at all.

00:48:29I wouldn't do that for the world, lady.

00:48:30If you don't want to stay here, we'll go someplace else.

00:48:32Why don't you cut out doing that St. Vitus dance and admit you ain't got it?

00:48:36I guess I left it when I changed uniforms, or I lost it today.

00:48:39I've heard that a million times.

00:48:40May we go now?

00:48:42Right this minute, lady.

00:48:43And just because you've been so nice, I'm going to have the judge check your case before

00:48:46anybody else, right at 12 o'clock.

00:48:4812 o'clock?

00:48:49We won't go.

00:48:50We'll settle it right here.

00:48:51You're going, sister.

00:48:52Do you want to go in the car, or do you want to go on the bike?

00:48:56Follow me.

00:48:58I could have told you this would happen.

00:48:59I saw it in the stars.

00:49:00You and your stars.

00:49:01You told me this was going to be a perfect evening.

00:49:02I know, and it would have been, except for Venus.

00:49:04You see, my dear, when Venus...

00:49:05Hello to the judge, mother.

00:49:36May I check your wrap, miss?

00:49:43Oh, yes, please do.

00:49:47A little check, miss?

00:49:48Thank you.

00:49:49Where are you going to put this?

00:49:50In the checkroom just over there.

00:49:51It'll be all right there, won't it?

00:49:52Indeed it will, miss.

00:49:53Thank you.

00:49:54Hello, they're a wonderful party, isn't it?

00:50:20Hello there. Wonderful party, isn't it?

00:50:22Hello. Glad to see you.

00:50:26Excuse me.

00:50:28Jolly little group here this evening, isn't it?

00:50:30Yes.

00:50:31I'm trying to think where we met before.

00:50:33Of course, I know you perfectly well, but I can't seem to remember your name.

00:50:36Not Fisher, not Fowler. Foster!

00:50:38Wrong.

00:50:39Follansby, I know. You're Caroline Follansby's daughter.

00:50:41Wrong again. I'm sorry.

00:50:43I have a remarkable memory for names. I'll get yours in a minute.

00:50:45Oh, I don't think you will.

00:50:46Oh, yes, I will. And when I do, I'm going to make you pay a forfeit.

00:50:48All right, but I don't think you'll find out.

00:50:50I have to go and look for somebody. Goodbye.

00:50:52Goodbye.

00:50:54Hello, Beveridge.

00:50:55Signorina Caroline.

00:50:57Mr. Beveridge, you are sweet.

00:50:58And you're going to sing for us tonight.

00:51:00Oh, I can't. I'm in such poor voice.

00:51:03My tour was so, so trying.

00:51:05I said to Doug, I will go, but I will not sing.

00:51:08Oh, you must sing. I insist.

00:51:09But I can't possibly.

00:51:11And I have no music with me except, Doug, you have it.

00:51:14It's just a Strauss Waltz.

00:51:16A Strauss Waltz?

00:51:16Tell the orchestra that I did mark a change in tone in the first eight bars,

00:51:19in case they do have to play it, you know.

00:51:27Oh, I'm sorry.

00:51:29Mr. Drake.

00:51:30I should have watched where I was going.

00:51:31Oh, no, it's all my fault.

00:51:32Having a good time?

00:51:33Oh, yes, yes, I am.

00:51:35Fine, I'm glad you came.

00:51:37Oh, are you?

00:51:38Oh, I didn't think I was going to get here at all.

00:51:40That would have been terrible.

00:51:42How's the rest of your...

00:51:44How's everybody?

00:51:45Oh, I don't know. I haven't seen them since...

00:51:47Well, they're all right, I guess.

00:51:50How are you? You're...

00:51:51You still live at the same place on...

00:51:52Oh, yes.

00:51:54Yes, so do we.

00:51:55Ted, we're dancing this one.

00:51:57You're going to be around?

00:51:57Oh, I'll be around somewhere here.

00:51:59Excuse me, I'll see you later.

00:52:02Who's that pretty little girl?

00:52:04No, her face is familiar.

00:52:05I can't figure out where I met her.

00:52:15Oh, good evening.

00:52:16How do you do?

00:52:16Good evening.

00:52:31Thank you.

00:52:32Ladies and gentlemen,

00:52:34we are most fortunate in having with us tonight

00:52:36a singer whose greatness is exceeded only by a loveliness.

00:52:41She truly has the gift of song, a golden voice,

00:52:44an inspired talent, and a charming personality.

00:52:49Now, she's a very shy young lady,

00:52:51and though I know I should not impose upon her by making this request,

00:52:54I do so in the name of Mr. Drake, our host,

00:52:57and because it happens, quite by chance,

00:53:00that the orchestra has here a Strauss waltz,

00:53:02which I think we may persuade her to sing for us.

00:53:05Shall we ask her?

00:53:15Ladies and gentlemen,

00:53:17it is now my great privilege to introduce to you

00:53:20Signorina Margherita Cotellini.

00:53:23Wrong again.

00:53:26I'm afraid someone's made a frightful mistake.

00:53:29Oh, no, no.

00:53:30Whoever told you I could sing was right,

00:53:31but my name is not that Signorina whatever-you-say.

00:53:36Life is sweet

00:53:39And gay all the time

00:53:42Life is sweet and gay

00:53:44All the world's at play

00:53:46There are blossoms of sunbeams

00:53:48That glorify the day

00:53:50And the gentle breeze

00:53:52Walking through the trees

00:53:54Serenades me with music

00:53:56Of tender melodies

00:54:06Life is sweet to me

00:54:08So sweet and heavenly

00:54:10Love is mine

00:54:15This is Maytime

00:54:19Flowers in bloom

00:54:21Varnish the gloom

00:54:23This is playtime

00:54:27Joy fills the air

00:54:29In the Maytime

00:54:34Ah, ah, ah, ah

00:54:38Ah, ah, ah, ah

00:54:46And my heart is so light and gay

00:54:54Spring in my heart

00:54:57Is forever and ever to be

00:55:01And I'll sing to the birds

00:55:05As they sing to me

00:55:10Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

00:55:15Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

00:55:18Spring with its song

00:55:21Will forevermore be part of my heart

00:55:29Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

00:55:40Spring in my heart

00:55:43Is forever and ever to be

00:55:47And I'll sing to the birds

00:55:51As they sing to me

00:55:55Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

00:56:04Springtime and I will never part

00:56:10Spring is in my heart

00:56:15Every day I feel spring

00:56:19In my heart

00:56:25In my heart

00:56:33Bravo!

00:56:35Bravo!

00:56:37Bravo!

00:56:39Bravo!

00:56:41Great, great!

00:56:44My dear young lady, that was a real treat.

00:56:46I want to thank you for it.

00:56:47Oh, you're welcome.

00:56:48I like your singing.

00:56:49Gerald, Gerald!

00:56:50This young girl has a great voice.

00:56:51I thought you'd like her, Mr. Drake.

00:56:53You were splendid.

00:56:54Oh, are you...

00:56:55Yes, I'm Ted's father.

00:56:56Just between us, I'm going to tell a young man

00:56:58something we're not bringing you around sooner.

00:57:00Where is that boy?

00:57:01Right over there.

00:57:02Ted!

00:57:03Wasn't that great?

00:57:04I'm glad you liked it.

00:57:05I was just telling this young lady

00:57:06I was a little disappointed in you

00:57:07and keeping her hidden this long.

00:57:09This long while?

00:57:10I didn't even know that...

00:57:11No, no, no, son.

00:57:12I know I'm old,

00:57:13but there's nothing wrong with my eyes.

00:57:14I can tell just by looking at you two

00:57:16that you're real old friends.

00:57:17Mr. Drake.

00:57:18Would you like to dance?

00:57:19Do you hear that, Bevins?

00:57:20Would she like to?

00:57:21What's the matter with you young fellows nowadays?

00:57:23She'd love to dance.

00:57:24Yes, I would.

00:57:36Lovely young lady, Gerald.

00:57:38Yes, indeed she is, Mr. Drake.

00:57:39I wish that boy of mine

00:57:40would get really interested

00:57:41in a girl like that

00:57:42and stay home

00:57:43instead of hopping off

00:57:44on that South American thing.

00:57:45Maybe he will.

00:57:46Yes, maybe.

00:57:47What did you say her name was?

00:57:48Now, don't stop that.

00:57:49I don't know.

00:57:58Oh, I'm sorry.

00:58:00It's my fault.

00:58:01I'm used to leading.

00:58:02You know, at school

00:58:03when there'd just be girls dancing

00:58:04with one leg...

00:58:05And the other followed.

00:58:06That's right.

00:58:07How's your horse?

00:58:08Shamrock?

00:58:09Yes.

00:58:10I hope the sugar didn't make him sick.

00:58:15What's the matter?

00:58:16I'm sorry.

00:58:17I was just thinking

00:58:18how different you look.

00:58:19I'm glad of that.

00:58:21I didn't see my face

00:58:22until I got in the car.

00:58:23You were in a pretty bad way

00:58:24there for a few minutes.

00:58:25I didn't thank you

00:58:26for being so nice about everything

00:58:27and tell you I was all right.

00:58:29I figured you were all right

00:58:30when I heard that you'd run away.

00:58:31I couldn't help that.

00:58:33Don't ever run away again, will you?

00:58:36Without saying goodbye.

00:58:37I mean it.

00:59:49Too many people here.

00:59:52Let's go outside.

00:59:54All right.

01:00:04It isn't too cold for you, is it?

01:00:06No, not at all.

01:00:08You'd rather go inside.

01:00:09No.

01:00:10Maybe you would.

01:00:11I could get you a wrap.

01:00:12No, really, I'm all right.

01:00:14I...

01:00:15Go ahead.

01:00:16No, it's nothing.

01:00:17What were you going to say?

01:00:18I was just thinking

01:00:19I'm leaving here next week.

01:00:22Are you?

01:00:23I'm going to South America with Dr. McKenzie.

01:00:25You've heard of him, haven't you?

01:00:27McKenzie? I think I have.

01:00:29He's the world's greatest authority on rubber trees.

01:00:31He's been to the Amazon 30 times.

01:00:33He always says,

01:00:34I'm very, very fond of the Wee River.

01:00:36He talks like that and calls me Lottie.

01:00:38Lottie?

01:00:43Do you have to go?

01:00:44I want to.

01:00:45It's sort of a declaration of independence to Dad.

01:00:48He's got a lot of ideas

01:00:49about handing me a ready-made future.

01:00:53Oh, I see.

01:00:56Look at that traffic.

01:00:57It's after 12 o'clock.

01:00:59Yes, it certainly is.

01:01:01Will you be away long?

01:01:03Six months.

01:01:05Where will you stay?

01:01:06On our boat.

01:01:07It's a big sailboat.

01:01:09An auxiliary diesel engine.

01:01:12Sailboats are beautiful.

01:01:14Yes, they are beautiful.

01:01:23What's a diesel engine?

01:01:25Well, it's on the same principle

01:01:27as a regular gasoline engine,

01:01:29only instead of using crude oil,

01:01:31I mean, instead of...

01:01:32Did you say it was 12 o'clock before?

01:01:34It's after 12.

01:01:35See the clock down there?

01:01:37Well, goodbye.

01:01:41Wait a minute.

01:01:52I'm sorry.

01:02:10You're not going to run away now, are you?

01:02:18Hello, Ted.

01:02:20Hello, Mrs. Burton.

01:02:21Walter?

01:02:22Oh, we've had an appalling experience.

01:02:24We're jailbirds.

01:02:25What are you doing with that slipper?

01:02:26Oh, looking for its owner.

01:02:27I'll be right back.

01:02:28Who'd he say he was looking for?

01:02:29I don't know.

01:02:30Oh, he's probably playing some game.

01:02:32He certainly seemed delighted we were here.

01:02:33Hello, Briggs.

01:02:34Oh, we thought you'd never get here.

01:02:35Well, we were delayed.

01:02:36On the law.

01:02:37It wasn't simply horrible, dear.

01:02:38It wasn't much fun.

01:02:39I don't know.

01:02:40I rather enjoyed it.

01:02:41Well, what happened?

01:02:42Well, you see, just as we were...

01:02:43Oh, Ted, your father knows the mayor, doesn't he?

01:02:44Yes, he does.

01:02:45His mother wants to reform the whole city government.

01:02:46Good.

01:02:47Oh, excuse me a minute.

01:02:51I didn't...

01:02:52No.

01:02:53Be back in a minute.

01:02:54I never heard of such inefficiency.

01:02:55Does anybody know who Ted's looking for?

01:02:56Probably the girl who was singing.

01:02:57He's certainly in a dither about her.

01:02:58Well, let's all go up and help him find her.

01:02:59Did you see that girl with the white wrap?

01:03:26She looked just like Connie.

01:03:27Well, it can't be Connie.

01:03:28Connie isn't here.

01:03:29Did that wrap she was wearing have a hood on it?

01:03:30I don't think so.

01:03:31Have you seen Ted running around

01:03:32with that slipper in his hand?

01:03:33I thought it was yours

01:03:34till I saw how small it was.

01:03:35It belonged to some new girl

01:03:36somebody no one ever saw before,

01:03:37and she just ran away with the party.

01:03:39Nobody's even seen Ted since she sang.

01:03:41And when she danced,

01:03:42she just closed her eyes

01:03:43and lost herself in a dream.

01:03:45Did that girl wear a silver lace dress?

01:03:47Mm-hmm.

01:03:48Very sweet.

01:03:49Not severe like your black.

01:03:50Just girlish.

01:03:51Do you know her?

01:03:52I'll tell you later.

01:03:53Get my wrap, please.

01:03:54Yes, miss.

01:03:56We've been waiting for you, miss.

01:03:58Oh, tell us, Mr. Bob.

01:03:59I don't know where to begin.

01:04:00Did you have any trouble getting in?

01:04:01Oh, no.

01:04:02You didn't run into Mrs. Clinton

01:04:03and the Brats, did you?

01:04:04Oh, no.

01:04:05No, but I saw them.

01:04:06You did?

01:04:07Did they see you?

01:04:08No, I hid behind a post.

01:04:09They got in about midnight.

01:04:10How did you know?

01:04:11Oh, a little bird told us.

01:04:12A little bird named Mike.

01:04:13Did you dance?

01:04:14Yes, and I sang.

01:04:15Good for you.

01:04:16I'll bet they cheered.

01:04:17Oh, and Mr. Drake.

01:04:18Oh, so that's the he.

01:04:19Agnes, it was...

01:04:20What I wouldn't have given to see you.

01:04:22He was so nice, Agnes.

01:04:23Oh, don't ask me.

01:04:24What did you sing?

01:04:25A Strauss Waltz.

01:04:26You know.

01:04:29We'd best go in the kitchen, miss.

01:04:30Don't you think we'll be late?

01:04:31I've got some hot chocolate

01:04:32and a nice piece of cake for you.

01:04:33And you start at the very beginning.

01:04:34You're late.

01:04:35Oh, I just lost my slipper.

01:04:36Well, how'd you do that?

01:04:37Oh, it was awful.

01:04:38I had to start running.

01:04:39No more here.

01:04:40The old man's working in his study,

01:04:41and we'll get to the...

01:04:45I'm working, and you're making noise.

01:04:47So we're not to stop the work or stop the noise.

01:04:50Nobody saw it.

01:04:52It's my fault, Uncle Jim.

01:04:54Maybe theirs.

01:04:55We won't have any more of it.

01:05:04Uncle Jim.

01:05:05George told me to be quiet

01:05:06or go to another room so I wouldn't disturb you.

01:05:08Have a nice time at the party?

01:05:10What?

01:05:11Oh, yes, wonderful.

01:05:12Dance, huh?

01:05:13Uh-huh.

01:05:14Met some nice people.

01:05:16Oh, yes, Uncle Jim.

01:05:17Very nice.

01:05:18What did your cousin say to you when she saw you?

01:05:20Well, I didn't speak to Barbara

01:05:22or Aunt Grace or Walter either.

01:05:24Smart girl.

01:05:25Run up to bed now.

01:05:27Good night.

01:05:28Good night.

01:05:29The family must have stopped someplace on the way.

01:05:32Yeah, stopped in jail.

01:05:34Kept them there till midnight.

01:05:35Should have kept them there longer.

01:05:37Jail?

01:05:39What happened?

01:05:40Don't know.

01:05:41They called me to get my lawyer.

01:05:43Couldn't get him.

01:05:44Couldn't remember his telephone number.

01:05:47Couldn't even remember his name.

01:05:49Couldn't remember anything.

01:05:52I don't understand.

01:05:54Had a good time, you said.

01:05:56What?

01:05:57You knew about Uncle Jason?

01:06:02I know a lot of things.

01:06:04I know Everett Cloud has a silver lining.

01:06:06They went to jail.

01:06:07You went to the ball.

01:06:08Uncle Jim, you...

01:06:11Car coming up the driveway.

01:06:13This is all a secret.

01:06:15Oh, never tell a soul.

01:06:16Make my life miserable.

01:06:18Make my life miserable if you do.

01:06:19Yours too.

01:06:21It's Barbara.

01:06:22You better stay.

01:06:23Good night.

01:06:30Hurry up.

01:06:31Hurry up.

01:06:32The Duchess is coming in.

01:06:33Help me, Miss.

01:06:55Are you asleep?

01:06:56Uh-huh.

01:06:57That light hurts my eyes.

01:07:00Just wanted to see that you were in.

01:07:02I'm in tonight.

01:07:04Have you been in all night?

01:07:05What time is it?

01:07:07You were home all night.

01:07:08Uncle Jason didn't arrive.

01:07:11Sorry if I interrupted your beauty sleep.

01:07:13Oh, that's all right.

01:07:34So you were at the party, hmm?

01:07:36Yes.

01:07:37And you sang.

01:07:38Uh-huh.

01:07:39I sang.

01:07:40Didn't I tell you to stay here?

01:07:42You didn't want to.

01:07:43Oh, you didn't want to.

01:07:45Nope.

01:07:46I knew Uncle Jason wasn't coming and I had a chance to go, so I went.

01:07:49You mean so you sneaked in.

01:07:50There's nothing you can do or say that could spoil this night for me.

01:07:53Would it spoil things if I asked how you turned your graduation dress into a Paris creation?

01:07:57Ollie made it over out of some silver lace I had.

01:08:00Not that it's any of your business.

01:08:02And that wrap, I suppose she made that out of a pair of pet ermine she's been keeping all these years.

01:08:06A friend of mine said I could, uh...

01:08:08I'm not going to quarrel with you, Barbara.

01:08:09I'm so sorry I wasn't there.

01:08:11It must have been wonderful.

01:08:12Thank you.

01:08:13Now, if you're through being sarcastic...

01:08:14Even Ted said he never had so much fun in his life.

01:08:17He thought you were a nightclub singer pretending to be somebody important, so he decided to play up to it.

01:08:22It's so funny, Ted.

01:08:23And his imitation of you dancing with your eyes shut is wonderful.

01:08:26People just roll on the floor when he does it.

01:08:28He does it over and over again.

01:08:30And leaving your slipper, that was so touching.

01:08:32Ted's going to use it to try and find you again.

01:08:34He wants to hire you to play the same joke on a friend of his in Boston.

01:08:37Now, you get out of here.

01:08:38This is my room.

01:08:39Oh, you want to be alone.

01:08:40You have so much to think about and so much to dream over.

01:08:43Get out!

01:08:44All right.

01:08:45I'll go down in the kitchen and tell your chums what a success you were.

01:08:58Good morning, sir.

01:08:59Morning.

01:09:01Your orange juice, sir?

01:09:02Mm-hmm.

01:09:03Your coffee, black as usual?

01:09:04Mm-hmm.

01:09:05Anything else, sir?

01:09:06Not a thing.

01:09:11Then this is goodbye, sir.

01:09:14Going someplace?

01:09:17I'm leaving, sir.

01:09:18Miss Barbara sacked the whole staff last night

01:09:20when she found out we'd helped Miss Connie get to the party, sir.

01:09:23What?

01:09:24Oh, that's all right, sir.

01:09:25Not one of us would have stayed after Miss Connie left.

01:09:31Connie left?

01:09:33Bag and bag, sir.

01:09:35We wanted her to stay and have a talk with you, sir.

01:09:37But she said she had made enough trouble.

01:09:39And didn't leave a note?

01:09:40She said she'd write you, sir,

01:09:42when she was settled and making her own way.

01:09:45I do think she was trying to make it easier for us all.

01:09:51Well, I'd like to talk to the other servants, George.

01:09:53They've been gone hours, sir.

01:09:55Jimmy!

01:09:57Oh, Jimmy, you may have to drive me to town.

01:09:59We have no chauffeur, you know.

01:10:01Did you know that Connie had left?

01:10:02Yes, so has everyone else.

01:10:03No cook, no butler, no mason.

01:10:05Then you're not with us anymore, are you, George?

01:10:07No, madam, I'm not.

01:10:08Such a pity. You're such a good butler, too.

01:10:10It was nothing personal, you know, George.

01:10:12Just a bad constellation for everybody.

01:10:14It won't happen again.

01:10:16Connie's a very young girl.

01:10:17We'll be out on our own.

01:10:19It's not right.

01:10:20I'm going to look up a horoscope

01:10:21and find out what evil influences brought all this about.

01:10:23And I'm also going to see if it's a good time to employ new people.

01:10:26You know, we have to wait until the stars are all right.

01:10:28I'm hungry.

01:10:29The cook has left, Mr. Walter.

01:10:32Say, Father, can you make coffee?

01:10:38Do you know that your cousin has left this house?

01:10:41I only know I'm hungry.

01:10:52Don't you think we'd better do something practical about Connie?

01:10:55I'm doing the most practical thing in the world,

01:10:57checking her complementary influence against Jupiter's emphasis.

01:11:00And there's a trend of depression.

01:11:02That's been a problem for hours.

01:11:09Jim, what are you doing?

01:11:13Jim, it's taken me years to work that all out.

01:11:18I never liked this thing either.

01:11:23Jim, stop it. You're losing your mind.

01:11:26Now you listen to me.

01:11:27I'm going to get you out of here.

01:11:29I'm going to get you out of here.

01:11:31I'm going to get you out of here.

01:11:33I'm going to get you out of here.

01:11:35I'm going to get you out of here.

01:11:37Now you listen to me, gracious youth.

01:11:39I've had all the twaddle I'm going to have about the eighth and ninth house

01:11:42and the influence of this and that and Leobian and Libro

01:11:45that I'm going to have.

01:11:46I'm going to make you eat these things.

01:11:48But if I ever hear another peep out of you

01:11:50about the sun, the moon or the stars,

01:11:52I promise you, brother big and little dipper,

01:11:54that you'll only be talking about stars.

01:11:56You'll be seeing them.

01:11:58Now you let the heavens take care of themselves

01:12:00and you get out on Earth.

01:12:02Right?

01:12:04Jim, you're a brute.

01:12:06Don't flatter me.

01:12:08I've only just begun.

01:12:09Father, have you gone crazy?

01:12:11Oh, you're up. That's fine.

01:12:13I was hoping I wouldn't have to go upstairs and pull you out of bed.

01:12:16Never mind your mother.

01:12:17Why did you make Connie leave this house?

01:12:18No, Father.

01:12:19Don't bother me. I know what you did.

01:12:20And for once in your life, you're going to pay the consequence.

01:12:22You selfish little dressed-up idiot.

01:12:24I won't be talked to like that.

01:12:25Yeah, well, stop talking.

01:12:27Mother!

01:12:28You're just a child and I'm going to treat you like a child.

01:12:30What are you going to do to me?

01:12:32What are you going to do to me?

01:12:34What are you going to do to me?

01:12:40What are you going to do to me?

01:12:49I'll pay you for this.

01:12:50Oh, no, sir. This one's on me.

01:12:51There's one more thing I wanted you to...

01:13:05Don't you ever do anything but sit sprawled out on that chair?

01:13:08But, Father, I have a theory, you know.

01:13:10Really?

01:13:11A theory of relaxation.

01:13:13I worked it all out myself.

01:13:14In that chair?

01:13:15Mm-hmm.

01:13:16It's taken years.

01:13:17I believe that one, through relaxation,

01:13:19prolonged and constant,

01:13:21can store up sufficient energy to surmount any and all problems.

01:13:24I'm sure of it.

01:13:25I'm sure of it.

01:13:26I'm sure of it.

01:13:27I'm sure of it.

01:13:28I'm sure of it.

01:13:29I'm sure of it.

01:13:30I'm sure of it.

01:13:31I'm sure of it.

01:13:32I'm sure of it.

01:13:33It takes energy to surmount any emergency that arises,

01:13:36where vitality is called for and force is needed.

01:13:39Simple, isn't it?

01:13:40Almost too simple.

01:13:41You see, Father, I don't spend energy.

01:13:43I hoard it.

01:13:44So to sit on it.

01:13:46Exactly.

01:13:47I've already proved that all forms of exercise are wrong.

01:13:50Say a man gets up in the morning and does his daily dozen.

01:13:53The first time he stretches,

01:13:55bends over, touches the floor,

01:13:58he's spent 14 pounds of energy.

01:14:01Back to his normal position, how much do you think he spends?

01:14:04Uh, from the, uh, position that you were in just now?

01:14:09Mm-hmm, identical with it.

01:14:10Mm-hmm.

01:14:11Just about...

01:14:12Well, practically none, because I'd help him like...

01:14:19Very well bowled, sir.

01:14:21Now, there's only one more thing we gotta do here,

01:14:24and that's to find Connie and bring her back in.

01:14:27Does everybody understand that?

01:14:32This is your station, miss.

01:14:34Thank you.

01:14:48Oh, Miss Wiggins.

01:14:50Did you get my telegram?

01:14:52No.

01:14:53I mean all the trains.

01:14:54That's all I have to do.

01:14:55Oh, I'm so sorry.

01:14:56It's all right.

01:14:57It's all right.

01:14:58It's all right.

01:14:59It's all right.

01:15:01I mean all the trains.

01:15:02That's all I have to do.

01:15:03Did I get your telegram?

01:15:04Get those bags over here.

01:15:09It's so quiet and restful here.

01:15:11It's going through that stage, eh?

01:15:13Cities are such noisy places.

01:15:15They're not dull and full of squealing girls.

01:15:18Are you surprised that I'm back?

01:15:20No.

01:15:21Oh, you must be.

01:15:22All right, then I will be.

01:15:23I'm surprised.

01:15:24Feel better?

01:15:27I want to teach music.

01:15:28Most of them want to be missionaries.

01:15:31Who?

01:15:32Never mind.

01:15:33Go on.

01:15:34You want to teach.

01:15:35Yes, but I'll have to have more training.

01:15:37I hope so.

01:15:38I'd like to get a scholarship at the Teachers' Conservatory of Music.

01:15:41Mm-hmm.

01:15:44I suppose it's only fair that I tell you why I've made this decision, Miss Wiggins.

01:15:48Practice that little speech on the way up?

01:15:50Well, I guess I did.

01:15:53What's that?

01:15:54I guess I did.

01:15:55Never mind the rest.

01:15:56I know the important part.

01:15:58Your heart's broken.

01:15:59Your faith's gone.

01:16:00You want to be independent?

01:16:01Who told you?

01:16:02About 40 old maids I know.

01:16:03It happened to them, too.

01:16:04Make it 41.

01:16:05I've forgotten myself.

01:16:08What the...

01:16:09This is so...

01:16:10Well, you don't want to hear about it.

01:16:12Oh, go on.

01:16:13Get it off your chest.

01:16:14It might make you feel better.

01:16:15It won't make me feel any worse.

01:16:19First, you'll be a junior instructor.

01:16:21You'll get paid for that about half as much as you need to live on.

01:16:24You call it living.

01:16:25You'll wear last year's hats and two-year-old dresses and patched-up shoes.

01:16:30But it won't make much difference how you look

01:16:31because there won't be anybody looking at you except a lot of so-called students.

01:16:35I'll have my work.

01:16:36You'll have that.

01:16:38Later on, by scrimping, you'll have enough money to travel on.

01:16:41Third class and alone.

01:16:43Or with another teacher.

01:16:44I like to be alone.

01:16:46You don't even know what the word means, child.

01:16:49My pupils will love me.

01:16:51I hope as much as they love you.

01:16:52I'm a character.

01:16:53A crotchety, lovable old character.

01:16:55I hate being a character.

01:16:58Do you like cats?

01:17:00No, not much.

01:17:01You'll get to love them.

01:17:03They've got sense.

01:17:04They're like men.

01:17:05Feed them and pet them and admire them and they'll purr.

01:17:09Every woman wants to make somebody purr.

01:17:12You want to lock yourself up in a world of women.

01:17:14A little world.

01:17:15A sheltered world.

01:17:16A useless, polite, frightened world.

01:17:18Miss Wiggins, I'm not a child.

01:17:20I know what I want to do.

01:17:21Work and support myself and not depend on other people for happiness or anything else.

01:17:28All right.

01:17:30Where's your diploma?

01:17:33I'll have to send it along with the application for the scholarship.

01:17:37It's right here.

01:17:41There's a teacher's powwow here on the 6th.

01:17:45They'll be here from all over the state.

01:17:48They'll have to line up some votes for you while they're on the ground.

01:17:51Here's a list of credits.

01:17:53Hmm.

01:17:54Pretty separate.

01:17:56The other one, I suppose, is the one Mr. Blake had.

01:17:58Mr. Drake.

01:18:00What you keeping it for?

01:18:01Just having to pack it.

01:18:03Something to cry into 20 years from now?

01:18:06Better get rid of it.

01:18:11Now you will sing at that meeting.

01:18:13Show them a sample of what you know about music.

01:18:16Have them make up their minds right away.

01:18:18Oh, thank you.

01:18:19That'll be marvelous.

01:18:20It'll be terrible, but I'll do it.

01:18:22You get a new dress for it.

01:18:25I'll have all the girls go to the auditorium so you'll have an audience.

01:18:28And you'll sing something that'll be effective.

01:18:30The spring song?

01:18:31No, not the spring song.

01:18:33One Fine Day, Butterfly, by Puccini.

01:18:36Know it?

01:18:37Yes.

01:18:38We have to work on it.

01:18:40That'll make them all cry.

01:18:42All the old maids will sniffle.

01:18:44You know, one fine day he'll come back to me.

01:18:47Oh, but I'd rather I...

01:18:50Rather what?

01:18:52Well, couldn't I sing something else?

01:18:54Well, I don't think it's a good idea to make them sad.

01:18:57Make you sad to sing it?

01:18:59No.

01:19:00No, not me.

01:19:02You just said it to make them cry.

01:19:04Old maids are only happy when they cry.

01:19:06You'll find that out.

01:19:09Miss Wiggins, we just heard that Connie...

01:19:11Oh, hello, Connie.

01:19:15Go along, all of you, and stop that chattering.

01:19:24Why didn't you go with Connie?

01:19:26Oh, I don't know her.

01:19:28I just came in to see if you'd mark the cuts in this orchestration for me.

01:19:31Irene told me to...

01:19:32I'll fix it.

01:19:33You will?

01:19:34Oh, thanks a lot, Miss Wiggins.

01:19:35Goodbye.

01:19:40I said I'll fix it, didn't I?

01:19:43Weeping, and why, and why?

01:19:49At his face you are looking.

01:19:56Hear me.

01:20:03One fine day we'll meet again.

01:20:12We'll notice the thread of smoke arising on the sea

01:20:25in the far horizon,

01:20:30and then the ship appearing,

01:20:39then the dream white vessel

01:20:44glides into the harbor

01:20:52and the spark of color

01:21:00Singer, now he is coming

01:21:09I do not go to meet him, not I

01:21:18I stay upon the brow of the hillock

01:21:24and wait there, and wait for a long time

01:21:32but never weary of the long waiting

01:21:42From out the crowded city there is coming

01:21:50a little speck in the distance

01:21:58climbing the hillock

01:22:06Can you guess who it is?

01:22:10And when he's reached the summit

01:22:13can you guess what he'll say?

01:22:17He will call Butterfly from the distance

01:22:25I, without answering, hold myself quietly concealed

01:22:31a bit to tease him

01:22:34and a bit so as not to die

01:22:43He'll first meet me

01:22:46and then a little troubled he will call

01:22:51he will call

01:22:55Dear baby wife of mine

01:22:59dear little orange blossom

01:23:04the names he used to call me

01:23:08And when he came here

01:23:13this will all come to pass as I tell you

01:23:18then this shall end of things

01:23:23for he shall return

01:23:28he shall return

01:23:37he shall return
