00:30The End
01:00The End
01:30The End
01:59The End
02:30There must be something wrong with your smellers.
02:33Out here everything is different.
02:35The trees are different.
02:36The people are different.
02:37The houses are different.
02:39But do you know they got cows out here that don't give no milk?
02:43There's rivers out here that ain't got no water in them.
02:45And there's men out here that can ride anything with hair on it.
02:48Yes, sir, Mr. Jones, and out here, a man's a man, and the women are glad of him.
02:57But listen, News, have you got any objection to telling me where we are going?
03:02Not at all, Mr. Jones, not at all.
03:05Mr. Jones, we are now following the advice of one of the finest men in America, Mr. Horace Greeley.
03:14Mr. Greeley said,
03:15Go west, young man, and do your best.
03:19Then come back east and spend your grease.
03:27Say, how come I couldn't go back east and get my grease and come back south and hush my mouth?
03:34Boy, you are so dumb until you think Spironica Lake is some kind of a summer resort.
03:42Now, listen, News, ain't no use you get mad, because you know I was just joking.
03:46You know I know you got plenty of sense.
03:48But if it wasn't for your sense, we'd both be spending 11 months and 29 days in the pee patch back in Memphis, Tennessee.
03:55Now, wouldn't we?
03:57Well, uh...
03:59Sure we would.
04:00And here you come getting mad every time I say anything.
04:05Oh, July, you know I wasn't mad at you.
04:08I was thinking, that's all.
04:09And I get thinking real hard.
04:12I get sort of ugly in the face, you know.
04:15Well, anybody can see you a hard thinker just by looking at you.
04:22What was that?
04:24Well, I said I'm doing some hard thinking myself.
04:27Oh.
04:27In fact, I'm doing some pretty hard thinking right now.
04:34What are you thinking so hard about?
04:37And I was thinking that we could take that two bits you got and buy some sardines and crackers.
04:41What do you think?
04:42Well, I don't know.
04:48I don't think we ought to go cold in hand for no sardines and crackers.
04:53And owing to the fact that that two bits we got is the last button on Gable's coat,
04:57it might be a good idea.
05:00I know, but owing to the fact we ain't grieved our gum since way yesterday morning,
05:06can you think of a better way to spend that last quarter?
05:08Well, I don't know.
05:11You have to give me time to think.
05:21Wait a minute.
05:26How do you do, young man?
05:27How do you do, sir?
05:29Nice day, isn't it?
05:30Oh, yeah, yeah.
05:31Very nice day.
05:32Very nice day.
05:34My name is Whitney.
05:37Vanderbilt Whitney.
05:38And yours?
05:38My name is Jefferson.
05:40Jefferson Lee.
05:41Glad to know you, Mr. Whitney.
05:42Oh, and I'm glad to know you, too, Mr. Lee.
05:43Yes, very glad to know you.
05:45You know, it makes me very proud to see a young man like you in business.
05:50It certainly does.
05:52You know, when I saw you over here, I told my contemporary, Mr. Green over there,
05:57I said, now there's a young man in the business that's going places.
06:00But I only work here.
06:01And when I said that, you said which?
06:06I only work here.
06:08You mean you don't own this business?
06:12That's right.
06:12Oh, the proprietor's not in just now, but maybe I can help you.
06:18Well, Sonny, the only way you can help me is to direct me and my friend over here
06:23where we can get a room.
06:25Well, now, let me see.
06:29Well, no, money is no...
06:30We just got in town, and what we need is nothing, anything else.
06:33There's a place I need, too, but it must be not.
06:36You might be able to roam down to my girlfriend and boy, too,
06:41and it's fair.
06:43Ah, now, if you just...
06:45So the address?
06:46No, the name.
06:47Oh, I almost forgot about that.
06:50I think I got a quarter right here in my pocket.
06:52I don't like to break big bills.
06:54I'll just get a quarter.
06:55We got plenty of change.
06:57Uh-oh, but...
06:58Yeah, it is.
07:04I'll see you later.
07:05Good day, sir.
07:11At ease.
07:15Mm-mm-mm-mm.
07:16Mm-mm-mm.
07:18Mm-mm-mm.
07:20Sir, machine gun company.
07:39A present accounted for.
07:42Still fighting World War I.
07:45Moe, I was just dreaming.
07:47That's all.
07:47Yes, I know you was dreaming.
07:50That's all you ever do is dream.
07:53It's a good thing you wasn't in World War II.
07:56You'd dream yourself to death.
07:59Everybody else that didn't go got four Fs.
08:02You got four Fs and a G.
08:05I don't know what the G was for,
08:07unless it was for good for nothing, Samuel Holliday.
08:12That name fits you to a T.
08:14You've been on a holiday ever since the 11th day of November, 1918.
08:21But if you don't get out of here and get you a job,
08:24I'm going to give you back your ribs
08:26and get me another atom before it's too late.
08:31Here, take this dollar.
08:33Go down to the store and get me some meat for something.
08:36All right, Moe.
08:37You said I'd go to that pool hall either.
08:41If you do, I'm coming down there and get you.
08:42I'll be right back, Moe.
08:49Oh, Mother, it's beautiful.
08:52I'm glad you like it, honey.
08:55I love it.
08:56It's darling.
08:58You know, honeydew,
08:59I'm glad it's you and the beauty contest instead of Florida.
09:02Oh, Mother, Florida's all right.
09:04Well, I know, but Florida isn't like you or me either.
09:08Florida's just like old No Good Daddy.
09:11Florida doesn't care for beauty contests and lectures and debates
09:15about how you're things in life like you do.
09:19All she ever thinks about is men and more men.
09:23But, Mother, dear,
09:24I'm sure she'll come to the news show tonight.
09:26Don't you think she will?
09:27No, and besides,
09:29she'd be jealous
09:29because you'll be the prettiest girl in the show.
09:32And you're going to win a prize, too.
09:34I'd just love to win a prize,
09:36any kind of a prize.
09:38You will, honey.
09:39And me and your old No Good Father
09:41will be proud of you, too.
09:43Mother, don't let Father go to Christmas Eve
09:46and ask him to wear his Sunday suit, won't you?
09:49Honey, I don't ask your father anything.
09:52I'll tell you.
09:53That's the ball with the flowers, maybe.
10:08I'll go and see.
10:09I'll be right back for a minute.
10:11Good afternoon, madam.
10:27Good afternoon.
10:30May we come in?
10:31What you're selling?
10:34Oh, we're not salesmen, madam.
10:36We're gentlemen of the first order.
10:38My name is Whitney,
10:40Mr. Vanderbilt Whitney.
10:41And this is my contemporary,
10:43Mr. Green.
10:45Well, you may as well come in.
10:47After you, Mr. Green.
10:48You are Mrs. Holliday, I presume?
11:08Yes, I was bragging about it.
11:10Oh, you know, a young man named Jefferson
11:13told us that you might have a spare room
11:15and that we might occupy it.
11:17Yes, I know Jefferson very well.
11:21And I do have a spare room,
11:24but I've never had room before,
11:27and I really wouldn't know what to charge you
11:28for your room in advance.
11:30Well, madam, you need to worry about that.
11:33Well, Jefferson will be over here tonight
11:35after supper.
11:36He's taking my daughter to the theater.
11:39Ah, the theater.
11:41The very mention of the name
11:43warms the cockles of my heart.
11:47Are you gentlemen from the theater?
11:50Are you actors?
11:52Actors?
11:53Oh, madam.
11:55The word actors is a vulgar name
11:57for our chosen profession.
11:59We are thespians.
12:00We are the backbone of the theater.
12:04Then perhaps you'll give my daughter a few lessons
12:06before she goes to the theater tonight.
12:08She's pretty enough to win, I know.
12:10But you see, she's never been on the stage before.
12:13And if you could only show her how to act.
12:15Mr. Whitney, I...
12:17Well, now, Mrs. Holliday,
12:19the gods of luck have frowned most favorably upon you this day.
12:24Watch this.
12:28You, there, slavey,
12:30go into the palace and tell Caesar I'm here.
12:34Tell him I come not to praise him.
12:36And if he don't send my wife home to cook my supper,
12:40I will slay him.
12:42At two, Brutu.
12:45Avast, be gone.
12:52Ah, there you are, my sweet.
12:55I waited for long without you.
12:57Come, let us go and prepare the feast.
13:06How was that?
13:07Oh, Mr. Whitney, that was simply grand.
13:10If you could only show my daughter how to act like that,
13:13why, I would give you and Mr. Green a room here in my home
13:16as long as you want it for free.
13:19I would just go upstairs and rest a while before supper.
13:23I'd just send Papa to the store to get to me.
13:25If it isn't enough, I'll send him back
13:27so you can have plenty.
13:28This way, please.
13:30Oh, Mrs. Holiday, we wouldn't think of imposing
13:33on you hospitality.
13:36We had really just had a guest, ma'am.
13:38We could have.
13:57Now, this hand is really contributory.
14:11I guess you better hit me.
14:12Truck me.
14:13Uh-oh.
14:17Bluff it up.
14:21Well, Pops, I've got to go now.
14:25I'll see you at the theater tonight.
14:27All right, High.
14:28Check in.
14:40I'll see you at the pit.
14:49And you know, baby, a beautiful girl like you ain't got no business going to seize in a town like this.
15:14You're too pretty.
15:16Honey, you need to go to swell places and meet fine people.
15:20I'd like to take you to Chicago.
15:23And I mean tonight.
15:25Sugar, what do you think?
15:28Gee, Johnny, I'd let you go.
15:32But that old lady of mine, well, she just died.
15:36She just wouldn't let me go.
15:39Well, I'm not worried about her.
15:41What about your old man?
15:43Oh, Papa, he never has anything to say about what I do or where I go.
15:48It's the old lady.
15:49She's a health care.
15:51Every time I go home, she starts nagging at me.
15:54Where have you been?
15:55What have you been doing?
15:57Why haven't you been home sooner?
15:59I'm just sick and tired of all of this.
16:01I don't blame you, kid.
16:02By the way, I was reading about a honey dude who's going to be in a beauty contest tonight at the theater.
16:08I hope she wins.
16:10Oh, she hasn't got a chance.
16:12Everybody tells her she's pretty and it's just gone through her head.
16:16Oh, come, Florida.
16:17Don't be like that.
16:18Why is she?
16:20Oh, Johnny, let's talk about me.
16:22Okay, baby, let's talk about her.
16:27Yes, let's talk about her.
16:29Hey, Johnny, you want her on the telephone?
16:30Okay.
16:32Excuse me, baby, I'll be right back.
16:34I wonder what's keeping Sam.
16:43And Florida, too.
16:45She should have been here over an hour ago.
16:47Oh, Mother, you know how father is.
16:49She's slow as molasses in January.
16:51And Florida, she's probably off somewhere window shopping.
16:54You know what Aunt Mary said about her.
16:55She has a champagne mine and a real pocketbook.
16:58Yes, I know.
16:59Florida and your father are two chips off the same block.
17:02You know, honey, the Lord wants to send it to Whitney, Mr. Green here.
17:12And I'm so glad.
17:13Yes, Mother, but I thought you said the Johnson sent him.
17:16Yes, I know.
17:18But you see, honey, no matter what we do,
17:22whether it's good or bad,
17:25the good Lord has something to do with it.
17:27And those two gentlemen upstairs, they are big men.
17:30They are from Hollywood.
17:33They are actors.
17:35Uh, uh, daspians or something like that.
17:38They are resting now.
17:39But you don't have a chance to meet them at supper tonight.
17:42And I'm sure they'll be a great help to you.
17:44Mr. Whitney's going to show you how to act on the stage tonight.
17:47Oh, Mother, that would be grand.
17:49I can hardly wait.
17:50I'll finish with the dishes, Mother.
17:59Is there anything else you want me to do?
18:03No, honey.
18:04You go upstairs and fix your nails.
18:06I'll make Florida help her when she comes in.
18:08All right.
18:13Say, news.
18:14How come you change our name?
18:21Had to.
18:23You heard me tell the lady we was from Hollywood, didn't you?
18:25Sure I did, bud.
18:28Well, Hollywood's a big place.
18:31And folks from there got to have a big name.
18:34Well, suppose we meet somebody else from Memphis?
18:37Well, in that case, you just plain old July Jones.
18:42And I'm bad news, Johnson.
18:45And maybe in jail if whoever we meet happened to be a policeman.
18:49Sure you give yourself a big name.
18:52Huh?
18:52Mr. Vanderbilt Christmas.
18:55What's wrong about that?
18:56Oh, nothing.
18:58I just wonder why you give yourself such a big name
19:00and just call me, plain Mr. Green.
19:04That's all I could think of at the time.
19:06I left the other name for you to figure out.
19:09Something you like.
19:11The only thing I like with Green is Cornbread.
19:14Cornbread.
19:16Cornbread.
19:19Cornbread Green.
19:21That's a good name.
19:23Yeah, but I ain't never heard of nobody on the stage with a name like that.
19:26Well, what about Butterbees and Susie?
19:29Sparrows and Hambone?
19:31Simpson and Dry Bread Thomas.
19:32What about them, huh?
19:34I forgot about them.
19:36After some part, I reckon we all gonna get us a shoeshine.
19:38We're going to the theater tonight.
19:41What are we gonna use for money?
19:42Did the lady say she had two free passes we could use?
19:46Yeah, but what I'm talking about is what are we gonna use for money to pay for shoeshines with?
19:50You got a quarter, ain't we?
19:52We had a quarter.
19:53Well, how come we ain't got it now?
19:56I spent it.
19:57That's how I come.
19:58You spent it for what?
20:00A magazine.
20:02You mean to tell me you spent our last money for a magazine?
20:05Do you know what kind of book this is, Mr. Jones?
20:09Uh, I mean, Ms. Green.
20:10I know it ain't good to eat.
20:12I know that.
20:13I know.
20:14But it tells you what to do so you can eat and regular too.
20:16How?
20:17Well, when was you born and why?
20:21All I know I was born in Maine.
20:23All right.
20:26From someone near you, go to work.
20:30That's you.
20:32What do he say about you?
20:34All right.
20:39Here it is.
20:40Listen to this.
20:42This is a day of rest.
20:44Use it for that purpose.
20:46Be lazy.
20:48Relax.
20:49Let your imagination run riot, but don't take it seriously, especially when it comes to weight.
20:55If you're tired, sleep late.
20:58Don't worry.
21:00That's me.
21:02Yeah.
21:04A lot different between May and December, ain't it?
21:07Yeah.
21:08Is you thinking about the same thing I'm thinking about?
21:17Yeah.
21:18When would you go have for supper?
21:19I don't care what it is.
21:22Just so there's enough of it.
21:23That's all I want to know.
21:25And I hope it's chicken.
21:27Yeah.
21:53I don't care about it.
21:54Did you have to go out with your slaughterhouse to get that meat?
22:15I didn't get it, Mama.
22:17And just why I didn't...
22:18You see, Louie's was just like this when I got to the butcher mark's door, you see, down there.
22:23The old lady was standing up there, was old enough for somebody's grandma, and the poor old lady was crying.
22:29And you see, Louie, it was just like this here.
22:31I asked the old lady, I said, look, old lady, what is the matter with you?
22:34She said she ain't got no money to get in those summer tea.
22:37And she said she was hungry, had 12 little starving children.
22:40And I just, my heart went to her heart, just like this, bumpity-bump-bump-bump.
22:44Yeah, you see, it's like this here, Mama Lou.
22:46The poor old lady was standing up there at the store there, and I come out the store, and the poor old lady had all them little starving children.
22:52And herself, she was just hungry.
22:53I stuck my hand in my pocket, and the old lady, the money after, hell, lady, take this money and go buy you some tea.
22:59And the poor old lady started down the railroad track.
23:01When she got on the track, a train started down the track.
23:04The train started blowing.
23:05The poor old lady didn't move.
23:07And after a while, the train blows, and the poor old lady didn't move.
23:10And after a while, the train run right into the poor old lady, and hit the old lady.
23:17Then what?
23:18The poor old lady moved.
23:20And you took my money I gave you to go buy me for supper, and give it to her?
23:24Yes, Mama.
23:25Oh.
23:26I hope you don't have no roast pork for dinner.
23:39The Bible says the split animal ain't bound to eat.
23:43Pork comes from a hog.
23:45And a hog's hoof is split wide open, all four of them.
23:49Yeah, but look, I was weaned on pork.
23:54Look at me now.
24:01The Bible is right.
24:09Hey, Mama.
24:11Mama, I won't do that no more.
24:13Well, that's my money.
24:14Now, look at me.
24:15Look at me, you know I'm a big ass, but I'm a big ass, but I'm a big ass.
24:19Don't be tired of the little lady.
24:22Mama, you're so cruel now.
24:24What you're trying to ask me to get on the table there, Lou?
24:26What you got to have my way to pay the leg back down and you know you can't read no house.
24:29Mama, Lou, that's pretty something to eat in the iceboxy.
24:31T.C. take my money and lose a dime back to that poor old lady and blackjack.
24:36Look, I knew you were trying to be serious now.
24:39Look, I knew how long you been married.
24:42I didn't do that, Lou.
24:43You know you.
24:43Look at me.
24:44You know the charges on me.
24:45I didn't do that, Lou.
24:45I don't care and I'm cutting on you.
24:48Look out there.
24:49What's going on here?
24:52That woman misused me.
24:53That's all it is to me.
24:55I'll kill you.
24:56Now what is it?
24:57Same old story.
25:01Father knows he can't beat those boys playing pool.
25:04It wasn't pool this time.
25:07Blackjack.
25:08I'll go to the store for you, Mother.
25:10All right, honey.
25:10Go to the store and get Mama some meat for dinner.
25:12And hurry back.
25:13I promise Mr. Greenwich, Whitney, I'll have dinner ready at 6.30.
25:16I don't want to keep them waiting.
25:17All right, Mother.
25:19You get on out of here.
25:43What was it?
25:45A clothes shave.
25:46For who?
25:47For us.
25:49The old man lost the supper money playing blackjack.
25:53Well, do we?
25:55Yeah.
25:566.30.
25:58Regular time or daylight saving time?
26:01What difference does it make?
26:02About two hours.
26:05Yeah, I guess you're right about that.
26:07Oh, now, baby, don't be like that.
26:08I'll be home tonight for sure, but I'll be a bit late.
26:13The boys are going to have a little game in the back room tonight, and I'll have to stay there to get my cuts.
26:18That's good, boys.
26:19Be sure the game don't have no skirt on.
26:20Okay, baby.
26:21Okay, baby.
26:23What took you so long, Johnny?
26:29Business, honey.
26:30That was my beer man.
26:32Well, you stayed so long until I'm going to have to go.
26:36Cargo still holds good.
26:38I ain't get over.
26:38Okay, and I'll call you tonight if I get a chance.
26:42Bye.
26:43Bye, dear.
26:44Bye.
26:45What's it you with this time, sir?
27:07Loosen me to the grocery store, and I just stumbled and fell.
27:10That's all.
27:11What, I guess, Mars rolling, Phil?
27:12Florida, Mother's been wondering where you were.
27:23I wish in my home business to let me alone.
27:26I've got my own life to live, and I intend to live it.
27:29Oh, don't be angry with me.
27:30I was only trying to tell you what Mother said.
27:33Well, you're just a kid.
27:35You don't know.
27:35I hope you come to the theater tonight and vote for me.
27:38Oh, honey, do that kid stuff.
27:40I've got more important things in my life.
27:43I'm going to Chicago.
27:45Florida, is that you out there?
27:52Now, I want you all to act like human beings, especially you, Sam.
27:59Mr. Whitley will sit here, and Mr. Green will sit here.
28:04Now, I'll go and call them.
28:11Bread and butter, time to supper.
28:23I know you gentlemen are half-stocked by now.
28:26We sure will.
28:27Oh, no, Mrs. Holliday.
28:30It isn't that bad, but we could eat.
28:33Well, it's ready.
28:38Right here, Mr. Whitley.
28:40And right here, Mr. Green.
28:47Mr. Whitley.
28:48This is Mr. Whitley.
28:49Mr. Vanderbilt Whitley.
28:50We're glad to know you, Mr. Whitley.
28:53The pleasure's mutual, I'm sure.
28:56And this is Mr. Green.
28:58We're all so glad to know you, Mr. Green.
29:01Me, too.
29:02By the way, Mr. Green, I didn't get your first name, though.
29:05Call me, Green.
29:07How very odd.
29:09Is that your real name?
29:11No, miss.
29:12You see, that's his stage name.
29:14His real name is, uh, Very.
29:17Mr. Very Green, that's it.
29:18Gentlemen, this is my little daughter, Melody.
29:25Ah, very cute.
29:27She's very cute.
29:29And this is Barbara.
29:30We call her Honeydew.
29:32My, but she's sweet.
29:34Oh, yes.
29:36And this is Florida.
29:38Oh, you know, you know, when I look at you, it makes me feel that I was born 30 years too soon.
29:44Well, you was, wasn't you?
29:45Yes.
29:50This is Mr. Holliday.
29:52Mr. Samuel Holliday.
29:54We all call him Papa.
29:56But the boy down in the pool hall calls him Old Sam.
30:00Oh, Mr. Holliday, you are really a lucky man to have such a fine family as this.
30:05Yes, indeed.
30:06He is, but we ain't.
30:10Now, if you alone sit down, I'll bring you food.
30:12Say, look here, Whitney, you know one thing?
30:23In my younger days, I used to be one of the greatest on the public stage in America.
30:27Is that so?
30:28I worked with some of the leading shows.
30:30I even down worked with the yellow boys.
30:32I know that's a show that you never heard talk of.
30:35Well, of course, the yellow boys were here before the black boys were.
30:39I see, yeah.
30:42I bet Papa tells me his life.
30:44When I was 14 years old, I was with a little show once, played every time, style for the Mason-Dixie line.
30:51Oh, hush, Sam.
30:53The only show you've got a little bit of medicine show.
30:55And you're still taking the pills that they paid you off with.
31:02So far, Mr. Green, Mr. Whitney's been doing all the talking.
31:06May I suggest that you give thanks?
31:09Thank you, ladies.
31:10And if we're able, we're going to eat everything that's on this table.
31:14And if there's any left in the pot, bring it now while it's good and hot.
31:19May we bow our heads.
31:23Gracious Lord, we thank thee this day for the food we're about to receive for the nourishment of our bodies.
31:30Please forgive our sins and accept our thanks for these blessings.
31:35In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost, amen.
31:40In thee, O Lord, I put my trust.
31:44May I never be put to confusion.
31:46The Lord is my shepherd, and I shall not want it.
31:50Jesus wept.
31:52O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good.
31:57I thank the Lord for this meal and some more meal.
32:01Amen.
32:03Oh, just a, Mr. Green.
32:04I think the host will serve the place.
32:06Oh, that's all right, Mr. Whitney.
32:07We can discuss with formalities.
32:16One, two, three, and one, two, three, and one, two, three, and one, two, three, and turn.
32:37Ah, beautiful.
32:38That's it.
32:40Now, here we go again.
32:41One, two, three, and one, two, three, and turn.
32:49Ah, that's marvelous.
32:50One, two, three, and one, two, three, and one, two, three, and one, two, three, and one, two, three, and one, two, three, and one, two, three, and one, two, three, and one, two, three, and one, two, three, and one, two, three, and one, two, three, and one, two, three, and one, two, three, and four.
33:18Four five six now. No, no, no, you know that only three comes in this man. You remember this number now
33:26You know you have to arrange it and they're up
33:28oh
33:30That must be Jefferson
33:35Oh, come right in Jefferson
33:38Mr. Whitney showing her to do how to walk on the face tonight. Go out over and have a seat and wait
33:48Now Mrs. Holladay your daughter is just about ready to go down on that first ride
33:55I hope so, Mrs. Whitney. She will
33:58All right, honey, here's your flowers and here's your bag. Come on, Papa with a dress
34:16You didn't forget your shoes, is your darling? No, mother, they're in the bag
34:21Here, son, here's a beautiful dress. Be sure to take care. It costs plenty money now
34:25Come on, let's go before you be late
34:32Son, be sure to take care now
34:34And don't forget, Mr. Whitney told you, darling, isn't he? Yes, mother
34:41Come on, Papa, let's go get dressed
34:43I know all of you gonna win that problem, ain't he?
34:46He he he he he
34:47Ain't no use you come telling me about etiquette and all that stuff
34:51I was hungry
34:52Yeah, but you didn't have to sit up there in that chair and go to the seat now, did you?
34:56No, and you didn't have to tell them folks that we was going to stand a dress either
35:01Because the only thing you can change is a pair of socks
35:04And you can't do that but one
35:06And if you could button up that coat you got on
35:09Your trunk would be completely locked
35:15Yeah, I sort of messed up that time, didn't I?
35:17You sure did
35:18And one of these days
35:20You gonna find out
35:22That a man only got two eyes
35:25Two ears
35:27Two hands
35:28And two feet
35:30And only one mouth
35:33One mouth
35:34Which mean he should
35:35See
35:36Hear
35:37Hear
35:38Wake
35:39And walk
35:40Twice as much as he talk
35:42And eat
35:44Did you call Mr. Whitney and Mr. Green?
35:59By the way, they said he'll be right down, Lou
36:02Uh, Lou, how do I look?
36:04Like a veil of cotton with the middle band busted off of it
36:08How you go?
36:10By the way, I thought you first gonna make a change
36:13Oh, now come holiday, you know better than that
36:16You're an old timer
36:17I'm your house guest, you know
36:19And on the first night the house guest never changes
36:22That's right, I forgot
36:24You forget your head if it wasn't hung on your body
36:27Come on, let's go
36:31Laura
36:32Don't you leave this house?
36:54Hello, John
37:01This is Florence
37:04Yeah
37:05Look, I finally decided to take you up on that Chicago trip
37:08Okay, babe, but where are the folks?
37:10Oh, the folks, they're all gone now
37:13Alright
37:14Come on over, but don't bring too many things
37:16They'll buy you anything you want when you get to Chicago
37:19Okay, I'll only bring a small bag
37:21Right
37:22Well, okay, see you later, bye now
37:36Say, Jackson
37:37Florida being in a few minutes
37:39If I happen to hand you a lie in a jar
37:41About going to Chicago
37:43And taking care of things while I'm gone
37:45I want you to eat it up, you hear?
37:47Yeah
37:48Yes
37:49Yes
37:50Yes
37:51Yes
37:52Yes
37:53Yes
37:54Yes
37:55Yes
37:56Yes
37:57Yes
37:58Yes
37:59Yes
38:00Yes
38:01Yes

38:11Yes
38:12Yes
38:13Yes
38:14Yes
38:15Yes
38:46Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you.
38:56Tonight is a very great night in the history of our state.
38:59Tonight, for the first time, we're going to have a beauty parade.
39:02But the judges are amazed and in confusion.
39:06There's too much beauty.
39:07And for that reason, you have a part to play.
39:09And you, your applause shall determine the winner.
39:13Now, ladies and gentlemen, for a moment, I see a quiet village street, a crowded city square, a dark, suspenseful theater,
39:22and then suddenly out of nowhere comes Paul and the stars falling.
39:26Tonight, as you applaud, you shall choose a winner.
39:30Ladies and gentlemen, I know you're excited. So am I.
39:33I came by playing, playing over by.
39:35For that reason, I'm going to ask the maestro for music.
39:40And let's bring them on. What do you think?
42:29Hollywood and Broadway, Miss Barbara Holliday, our own little honeydew.
42:59Oh, they went home to get ready to serve the lemonade and the cake, and also mama told me to bring you home with her when you got dressed.
43:16Say, did you say lemonade? I said lemonade and cake. Mama got a big pitcher of lemonade down there that tall and a cake that big, and you ought to see it.
43:30Well, that's no treat for a girl. Just won a beauty contest. Say, let's go over and get a little.
43:37Yes, but I can't stay long, though. But let's go outside until she gets dressed.
43:46The special dance number by Red Calhoun and De Boyle. Turn them loose, Gates.
43:53Oh!
43:55I can't see a thing.
43:56No, it's a joke.
43:57I can't see a thing.
43:58All right, all right, all right!
43:59Oh!
44:00Oh!
44:02Hey!
44:03Hey, hey, hey!
44:04Hey!
44:05Hey!
44:06Hey!
44:07Hey!

44:10Hey!
44:11Hey!
44:13Hey!
44:14Hey!
44:16Hey!
44:17Hey!
44:18Hey, hey!
44:19Hey!
44:20Hey!
44:22Oh, my God!

48:28Oh, my God!
48:30Oh, my God!
48:34Oh, my God!
48:36Oh, my God!
48:38Oh, my God!
48:46Oh, my God!
48:48Oh, my God!
48:58Oh, my God!
48:59Oh, my God!
49:00What's the matter, babe?
49:01What do you think, babe?
49:02What do you think, babe?
49:03She's your sister, isn't she?
49:05Sure, she's my sister, but what are you trying to do?
49:08Oh, don't be like that, babe.
49:10The kid's easy to look at.
49:11I'd like to meet her.
49:12Well, there's plenty of time for that after we're married.
49:15But I wonder what she's doing here.
49:42Mr. Whitley, I don't worry.
49:46I never should have let old Moogood Sam out of my side.
49:50No telling why he's taking honeydew.
49:53In Florida, she's gone, too.
49:56I told her to stay home anyhow.
49:59Every time I back and turn, she'd leave this house.
50:02She ain't for no good.
50:04Oh, now, now, now, Mrs. Holliday.
50:06Take it easy. The girl's all right.
50:09But I suggest that me and Mr. Green here go out and see if we can find them.
50:15I think I know where I might locate them.
50:18Mr. Green.
50:20Mr. Green!
50:25We'll find them this holiday. You just take it easy.
50:27We'll be right back and get some of that good old lemonade and cake.
50:31Yeah.
50:32Mr. Green.
50:33Mr. Green.
50:34Mr. Green.
50:35Yes, son, you know one thing?
50:40I know that honeydew was going to win that contest.
50:43One thing about, look at it.
50:45He's beautiful.
50:46She's taking after old Maine.
50:48Anything the old Maine do, he will lose it.
50:51Ha, ha, ha, ha.
50:52Mr. Green.
50:53Mr. Green.
50:54Mr. Green.
50:55Mr. Green.
50:56Mr. Green.
50:57Mr. Green.
50:58Mr. Green.
50:59mill life. Son, that's too light for me. Johnny, you know there's something funny going on around
51:12here. If only a miracle could keep Papa and Honeydew both out of Mount Maclite at one and
51:18the same time. Well, maybe they'll celebrate. I just heard your old man say that Honeydew
51:26won the first prize in the beauty contest. Huh? That is a miracle. But I'm afraid it won't
51:32be a happy ending. We'd better get out of here. Okay, I'll go over and start a conversation
51:37and you slip by to the ladies' room and get your thing. Okay. Well, how do you folks
51:45do that? Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. If anything y'all need, it's just for me. Yeah, I will. I won't see that you're getting on fine.
51:56Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine
52:26Are you enjoying yourself, baby?
52:35No, I don't like this place.
52:37Well, if you don't like to drink, you'll go somewhere else.
52:40Oh, I must go. Mother will be serious.
52:43Now listen, sweetheart.
52:45You just began to live.
52:47You should go to new places.
52:49See new people. I can take you all those places.
52:51Wait right here. I'll reach your papa when you'll leave.
52:56Miss Honeydew, your mother's worried about you and Miss Florida, too.
53:06I just saw Miss Florida go in that restroom over there.
53:08Are you sure, Miss Florida? I didn't know she was here.
53:11Oh, yes, ma'am. It's all right. And she's still in there, too.
53:14She sure is. That room right there.
53:17And you ought to go in there and tell her, too.
53:18Uh-huh. Yeah.
53:26Miss Florida.
53:31Yes, Mrs. Salt.
53:32What are you doing here?
53:33What are you doing here?
53:35Well, if you must know, I'm going away with Johnny.
53:38We're going to Chicago.
53:39I'm sick and tired of this place around here.
53:42You and Mama make me sick nagging at me all the time.
53:45You can stick around in this dump if you want to, but not for me.
53:49I'm going away with Johnny.
53:50We're going to Chicago, San Francisco, and New York.
53:54And I don't give a...
53:55Well, I don't care who knows.
53:56Bye-bye.
54:05Well, you know I'm sick and tired of this.
54:06I'll be with you in just a minute, baby.
54:26Hello?
54:27Oh, Mother, I'm down to Johnny's street, Johnny.
54:29And Florida's here, too.
54:30She's going to run away to Chicago with Johnny.
54:33Her bags are all packed, and they're leaving at midnight.
54:35She is, is she?
54:37I've been wondering where she was.
54:39And you, too.
54:40I've been almost crazy.
54:42You tell your old no-kind dad I said to keep Florida there till I get there.
54:46Do you understand?
54:48Stay there till I get there.
54:56Gentlemen, you stay here and watch this house till I get back.
54:59I got what to do.
55:00Yes, ma'am.
55:04Bye-bye.
55:05Uh, excuse me, Miss Florida, but, uh...
55:11What do you want, funny face?
55:13And what are you doing here, anyway?
55:14Well, uh, I'd just like to have a word or two with you.
55:17Well, I haven't got time to be bothered with you now.
55:19Uh, yes, but you see, I got a message for you from your dear mother.
55:23Don't you dear mother me.
55:25I don't want to hear anything that you have to say or she has to say either.
55:28Anyway, I'm going to talk with Johnny.
55:30Come on, Johnny.
55:30Let's go.
55:31Okay, boys.
55:33I'll see you later.
55:34And just where do you think you're going?
55:48We're going to Chicago and ain't nobody going to stop the people.
55:51Is that so?
55:53And where's your sister and your father?
55:54I don't know, and I don't care.
55:58Here I am, mother.
56:01Mr. Whitney, just a minute, please.
56:06Take this.
56:07And take Honeydew home for me, please.
56:10I've got work to do.

56:18And yes, who are you?
56:20I'm Holliday.
56:21Honeydew's new boy, please.
56:22Yes, and when I get through it, too, you'll be alone, eh?
