00:00:26I've never seen anything like it.
00:00:54Talk about your heroism.
00:00:56He went down in that blazing pit not once, mind you, but three times and carried them all out, one after another.
00:01:01Not really.
00:01:02Why, he doesn't know what fear is.
00:01:04Probably too dumb to know what it is.
00:01:06Well, well, there's no sense.
00:01:09There's no feeling.
00:01:10There's nothing dumb about him.
00:01:11I wish I had more men like him.
00:01:13I hope you rewarded him, Arthur.
00:01:14Say, you wouldn't believe this.
00:01:15I presented him with a check for $1,000, and he wouldn't take it.
00:01:19What?
00:01:21Must be interesting to meet a man like that.
00:01:23You're going to.
00:01:23I've asked him over.
00:01:25Here?
00:01:25Yes, tonight.
00:01:26For heaven's sake.
00:01:27But we're going to the opera right after dinner.
00:01:30That's all right.
00:01:31He's only coming for dinner.
00:01:33A workman?
00:01:34For dinner?
00:01:35Yes.
00:01:35Why not?
00:01:36Arthur, what ghastly joke is this?
00:01:38But Henrietta, he's a hero.
00:01:41In overalls.
00:01:42Well, what will our guests say?
00:01:43Call him up at once and tell him he's not to come over.
00:01:46He isn't a common workman.
00:01:47He's a steel boss.
00:01:49See, Mother?
00:01:50Perfectly all right.
00:01:51He's a steel boss.
00:01:53His name is Dick Brunton.
00:01:54I don't care what his name is.
00:01:56Brunton, Brunton.
00:01:57That name sounds familiar.
00:01:59He's a fine chap.
00:01:59I've had my eye on him for a long while.
00:02:01Don't talk to me.
00:02:03Overall.
00:02:04Well, it'll be a thrill having a working man for dinner.
00:02:10Yeah?
00:02:11Well, you've had one for a good many years.
00:02:14Me?
00:02:15Well, that's all I was when I started.
00:02:17But this invitation, it's downright cruelty.
00:02:20Dinner with all our flunkies around might prove very embarrassing to Slim Jim the Railbender.
00:02:25Gosh, I never thought of that.
00:02:28Well, it'll be lots of fun watching him scoop mashed potatoes on his knife.
00:02:31Oh, I won't be as bad as that.
00:02:34I know those strong, silent men.
00:02:36Well, I'll put the radio on while he's inhaling his soup.
00:02:51Longview, 5855.
00:02:53Now what are you going to do?
00:02:55Break the big news to Charlie Bates.
00:02:57Well, I guess I'll go up and change for dinner.
00:02:59Yes, by all means.
00:03:01And Finley's laid out a nice new pair of overalls for you.
00:03:04Oh, hello, Charlie.
00:03:06Listen, you're going to have the laugh of your life tonight.
00:03:08Father's invited a big he-man from the mill for dinner.
00:03:12All right, Dot.
00:03:12I'll come over and bring my dinner pail.
00:03:15Now don't fail to get over here on time, will you, Charlie?
00:03:17You bet, Dot.
00:03:18As soon as the whistle blows, I'll throw down my tools and rush right over.
00:03:22All right, Charlie.
00:03:23Goodbye.
00:03:26What's the opera tonight?
00:03:27Well, I think they're singing Il Trovatore.
00:03:29Il Trovatore?
00:03:30Good.
00:03:31I'm glad I ducked it.
00:03:32I hear enough anvil choruses out at the foundry.
00:03:39Doc, I know you'll enjoy the opera tonight.
00:03:42Why, she's not going.
00:03:43Pass the olives.
00:03:48Dorothy, would you mind passing the olives?
00:03:50Do the doctors think they can cure it?
00:03:55Cure what?
00:03:56Your hearing.
00:03:57I've asked you 18 times to pass the olives.
00:04:00Pardon me.
00:04:04I said the olives.
00:04:08Excuse me.
00:04:09Say, Dot.
00:04:23Get a load of that.
00:04:25Dick Marrow looking for a toothpick.
00:04:32What an odd charm.
00:04:33May I see it, please?
00:04:36Oh, it's nothing, really.
00:04:37Oh, please.
00:04:47Ladies and gentlemen, a grievous social error has been made here tonight.
00:04:52Nor have they.
00:04:54A guest has been brought here under false pretenses.
00:04:56Shut up.
00:04:57Let me introduce to you the real Dick Bronson, all-American halfback, the man who beat Yale.
00:05:02Oh, I brought this thing.
00:05:04I had no idea.
00:05:06Halfback?
00:05:07I thought you said he was a steel boss.
00:05:10Boy, I'll never forget that forward pass as long as I live.
00:05:15Well, I'll be a something-a-rother.
00:05:17You certainly will.
00:05:18Well, I'm glad that's out.
00:05:20You've had me guessing all night.
00:05:22Surf coffee in the drawing room.
00:05:24And, Bronson, this is a surprise.
00:05:26One or two lunches, Mr. Parker.
00:05:35Well, please.
00:05:38Well, Bronson, have you changed your mind about that check?
00:05:41No, sir.
00:05:41Thanks, just the same.
00:05:43Have you talked it over with your mother?
00:05:44Yes, sir.
00:05:45And she agrees with me.
00:05:46You see, Mr. Parker, I didn't do that for money.
00:05:48I did it because, well, anybody do it.
00:05:50You understand, don't you?
00:05:51Yes, I think I do.
00:05:53That dollars is a lot of money, Mr. Button.
00:05:55Yes.
00:05:56Oh, don't be silly.
00:05:57Go ahead and take it.
00:05:58Why?
00:05:59Do you want me to?
00:06:00Would you?
00:06:01If I wanted you to?
00:06:03No.
00:06:03Uh-uh.
00:06:04Fourth down, nine yards to go.
00:06:07Well, at the very least, I'll see that you get the Carnegie Medal.
00:06:10Oh, no.
00:06:11Please don't do anything like that.
00:06:13How does it feel to be a hero?
00:06:15You'll never know.
00:06:17Don't appear.
00:06:19Now, please leave Mr. Bronson alone.
00:06:21I want to talk to him.
00:06:24Why didn't you tell us you were Dick Bronson,
00:06:26the all-American halfback?
00:06:28Why should I?
00:06:29Right now, I'm simply your father's steel boss.
00:06:31But I can't understand why you kept it dark.
00:06:34The all-American, I mean.
00:06:35Make things easier for you.
00:06:36I know.
00:06:37But easy things aren't much good.
00:06:39But aside from that,
00:06:40it will get you in with the right crowd.
00:06:42You can't run around with the right crowd on 45 a week.
00:06:46Mr. and Mrs. Post.
00:06:49Good evening, everybody.
00:06:51Hello.
00:06:52Hello.
00:06:52Hello, Henry.
00:06:53Oh, how are you?
00:06:55Say, good evening, everybody, Pansy, darling.
00:06:59Are you ready to go, Henrietta?
00:07:00Yes, dear.
00:07:01Good evening, Llewellyn.
00:07:02Good evening.
00:07:03Are we all close to this while we get our wraps?
00:07:05Yes, Shirley.
00:07:06Say, Llewellyn, will you have...
00:07:08Oh, what?
00:07:09You'd better go and sit in the car.
00:07:11Yes, dear.
00:07:11And bundle Pansy up good.
00:07:13Because I don't want my little busy baby to catch cold.
00:07:17Yes, dear.
00:07:18Yes, dear.
00:07:18Yes, dear.
00:07:28Yes, dear.
00:07:28Yes, dear.
00:07:29Yes, dear.
00:07:30What a spectacle.
00:07:31Well, he's no more than a kept husband.
00:07:33It's a tragedy.
00:07:34Llewellyn Post should have been the greatest architect in America.
00:07:36But he married Lucille.
00:07:38She wouldn't let him work.
00:07:39She killed all his ambition.
00:07:40It's her fault, not his.
00:07:42Oh, you don't have to go yet.
00:07:44Dad and I aren't going out.
00:07:45I know, but it's late for me.
00:07:46I have to get home and go to bed.
00:07:48You see, you have to be at the plant at six.
00:07:49Six, eh?
00:07:51I never go to bed until six.
00:07:53I'll have Hopkins take you home in the car.
00:07:55I haven't seen a first act in here.
00:07:57Well, all set.
00:07:58Yep.
00:07:59Good night, Mr. Brunson.
00:08:00Good night, Mrs. Parker.
00:08:02I've had a wonderful time.
00:08:03Well, let's get to you.
00:08:03Have a good time.
00:08:04We will.
00:08:08You've been mighty kind, Miss Parker.
00:08:10I'll remember this evening for a long time.
00:08:12So will I.
00:08:13I hope you'll forgive me for exposing your, uh, past.
00:08:17That's all right.
00:08:18I wish you'd think it over.
00:08:20You know, about getting in with the right crowd.
00:08:22Honestly, I can't afford to.
00:08:24Well, that wouldn't make any difference.
00:08:25Anyhow, I spend my spare time studying.
00:08:28See, I want to get somewhere.
00:08:29It's more to life than just gold football.
00:08:31Really?
00:08:32And there's more to life than grinding away at books every night.
00:08:35Oh, I don't like to.
00:08:37I'm human.
00:08:38You don't mean it.
00:08:39I wouldn't have suspected that.
00:08:40I enjoy a good time as much as anyone.
00:08:43But I'm working now so I can have fun when I get older.
00:08:45And can't enjoy it.
00:08:46Well, maybe you're right.
00:08:48Well, Brunton, if you're ready, we'll...
00:08:50Yes, sir.
00:08:51Good night, Miss Parker.
00:08:52Good night.
00:08:54Thank you, too.
00:08:55You've been very kind.
00:08:56Not at all.
00:09:02Well, good night, Mr. Parker.
00:09:03Good night, my boy.
00:09:04Good night.
00:09:04Good night, my boy.
00:09:04Good night, my boy.
00:09:06Good night, my boy.
00:09:08Good night.
00:09:16Well?
00:09:18Well?
00:09:19Did you notice how he balanced those peas on his knife?
00:09:21Oh, don't rub it in.
00:09:22How about your thousand dollar check?
00:09:24Ah, that boy has something.
00:09:25He's one man in a thousand.
00:09:27Thousand?
00:09:27He's one in a million.
00:09:29And as far as your daughter's concerned, he's the one man in the world.
00:09:32What do you mean?
00:09:33I mean, I'm going to marry him.
00:09:35What?
00:09:36Are you crazy?
00:09:37You just bet I am.
00:09:38Look here, Dot.
00:09:39You're not serious.
00:09:40Dad, I was never more serious in my life.
00:09:44The minute I saw him, I didn't give two hoops if he goggled his soup in the key of A minor.
00:09:49All I knew was that boy was made for me.
00:09:51And what's more, I'm going to have him.
00:09:54Ah, look here, Dot.
00:09:55Aren't you just a little bit hasty?
00:09:57I can't get him too quick to suit me.
00:10:00See here, Dot?
00:10:01Now listen, don't you fool yourself.
00:10:04Now, I'm a pretty good judge of men.
00:10:06I tell you, this boy has real character and he'll never propose to you.
00:10:11Now see here, Dad, listen.
00:10:13There isn't a man in this world a woman can't win if she really wants to land him.
00:10:17I don't believe that.
00:10:19All right.
00:10:20All I ask is four weeks.
00:10:22Four weeks?
00:10:23Four weeks.
00:10:24When do you think your wayward son will stagger in?
00:10:30Can't tell you.
00:10:31Well, it's getting late.
00:10:33Oh, rich folks like the Parkers have supper till all hours.
00:10:36Yeah.
00:10:37What's caviar to the few is applesauce to the gander.
00:10:41You should have told him to take that thousand bucks.
00:10:44Oh, no, Huey.
00:10:45Why should I?
00:10:48Why, I wouldn't want Dick to take anything he didn't earn.
00:10:52And he saves a dollar earned.
00:10:54If you had all that sugar, maybe you could ease up on my board bill.
00:10:59I have no hurry for the money, Huey.
00:11:02Well, that's just as well, because I ain't got any.
00:11:19Say, would you mind honking the horn a couple of times?
00:11:21Sure.
00:11:24Well, Mother, I told you we'd be riding around the Rolls Royce one day.
00:11:44Did you have a nice time to...
00:11:45I certainly did.
00:11:51Hey, High Pockets, did you bring home the bacon?
00:11:54No.
00:11:54I told him he could keep his check.
00:11:57I figured that all in.
00:11:59Did you give Mrs. Parker my love?
00:12:01Sure.
00:12:02What's she say?
00:12:03I'll take vanilla.
00:12:04Well, now that that's all settled, maybe you better hit the hay.
00:12:10I claim early to rise and early to bed and you'll live all your life.
00:12:16Until you're dead.
00:12:17Now, tell me, Dick, what kind of people are they?
00:12:21Oh, you'd get a great kick out of the mother.
00:12:24The father's a pretty good scout.
00:12:25Don't do that, mother.
00:12:26You're going to ruin your teeth.
00:12:27Oh, they were ruined long ago.
00:12:29How about Mrs. Parker?
00:12:31She's got one of those trick English accents.
00:12:33The only trouble is it slips out of gear all the time and she gets all balled up between her bawses and her vases.
00:12:38Oh, well, that's no crime.
00:12:40Is she nice?
00:12:41She almost froze me when I first came in.
00:12:43Looked at me as though she expected I'd be wearing overalls.
00:12:46Oh, you only imagined that.
00:12:48How about the daughter?
00:12:50Not for mine.
00:12:51Just plain spoil.
00:12:53Oh, well, now maybe that isn't her fault.
00:12:55Too much money isn't good for anybody.
00:12:59Still, some of them make very good wives.
00:13:02Well, I could never imagine her as a wife.
00:13:05Imagine Dot Parker bending over a wash tub.
00:13:08Well, maybe she wouldn't be afraid to bend over one if she had to.
00:13:11Oh, don't be silly.
00:13:12She's about as useful as a little silky kitten.
00:13:16That's what they should have called her.
00:13:17Kitten.
00:13:20Kitten.
00:13:20Kitten.
00:13:23Oh.
00:13:38Hello, Mr. Barber.
00:13:46Hello, Nick.
00:13:47Look over these.
00:13:48What are they?
00:13:49The Mississippi Bridge plans.
00:13:51Something that will revolutionize the industry.
00:13:54That is, if he can sell the idea.
00:13:56You don't seem very confident.
00:13:57I know it's the greatest engineering achievement in years.
00:14:01Parker's willing to bet his role on it.
00:14:02But it'll take a real salesman to make others see it as we do.
00:14:07Well, let's get started.
00:14:08All right.
00:14:08Can you get them trees by one o'clock?
00:14:11Yes, sir.
00:14:12Fine.
00:14:12We're awfully busy.
00:14:14I know I can depend on you.
00:14:15I know I can't do it.
00:14:45here. Well, there she is again. Couldn't be more regular if she punched the clock. Ain't
00:14:59that old man Parker's daughter? Sure. What's she here for? Well, if you don't know, you're
00:15:05the only one that don't. She's here to grab Dick Brunton. Yeah? Yeah. Pretty soft for
00:15:11Brunton. That girl's independently rich. She's got nothing on him. He's independently
00:15:17poor. Gee. I wish some thou would all hurt thou with nuts about me. Sorry. Busy.
00:15:41Why, Dick, too busy for me? Oh, Dot. How are you? Fine. How are you? Well, I'm kind of
00:15:51tied up. Mr. Barber gave me a rushed job. Oh, that can wait. No, it's very important. But
00:15:56I've got something even more important. Honestly, Dot, I can't. It's your lunch hour, isn't it?
00:16:04But I promised Mr. Barber. Oh, he can stay you for an hour. No. Hello, Mr. Barber. Hello,
00:16:08Miss Barber. Do you mind if I take Nick away for an hour? Why, no. Not at all. Those plants
00:16:14can wait, can't they? Yes, certainly for Mr. Barber. That's all right, my boy. That's
00:16:19all right. Thank you, Mr. Barber.
00:16:38Oh, no. Oh, but this is my treat. You can't sign here. You're not a member. Hmm.
00:16:55Oh, no. Oh, but this is my treat. You can't sign here. You're not a member. Hmm.
00:17:05a member. Is that yours, Paul? Thank you.
00:17:21They always work. Gee, that's a keen trick. You've got to show me how to do that.
00:17:28Dick, know what day it is today? Yeah, Wednesday, December 20th. It was exactly four weeks ago
00:17:41today I met you. That's right, four weeks. What are you smiling at? Just thought of something.
00:17:49Just think, four weeks. And it seems as if I'd known you ages. That's just the way it seems
00:17:54to me, too. But I have known you a long time. I've seen many games you've played. By when
00:18:00you beat Yale, I even cut your picture out of the paper and put it over my dresser. Oh,
00:18:04you're kidding. Am I? There. See, that was published about five years ago. I guess you'll believe
00:18:18me now. December 20th. Five more days till Christmas. I'd better get busy. I suppose
00:18:27you did your Christmas shopping early. I've only got one more thing to get. I've been expecting
00:18:33to get it for four weeks. You'd better not put it off any longer. That depends on you.
00:18:38On me? Mm-hmm. Well, if there's anything I can do. What is it? A proposal. Of what? May
00:18:53I have it? You mean you want me? I want you. Oh, you're only kidding. All right. Just propose
00:19:03to me and see whether I am or not. Dot, I can't do anything like that. You mean? I'm
00:19:08nothing but a... You mean you won't propose to me? I would if I could, but... Very well.
00:19:18I'll propose to you, Dick. Will you marry me? No, Dot, I can't. I haven't anything to offer
00:19:25a girl like you. You're all I want. I know what you're thinking. But don't let that stand
00:19:31in your way. Don't you love me enough to forget it? Oh, I wish I could forget. Oh, if you
00:19:39really love me, you'll try. Won't you please try? Come on, Dick. Say yes. No.
00:19:52Dick, do you mean that? Yes. Oh. Oh, gee, I'm so happy. Put that on. No, I can't do that. Oh, but look,
00:20:19you'll afford to buy me one. Go on, Dickie. Please.
00:20:26Mrs. Borheim, crystal champagne set. Miss Craig, you're impossible. Send her a Christmas card.
00:20:33And her husband is a victim of the stock market.
00:20:37Tell me your sarcasm of her. That completes the list, doesn't it? Yes, ma'am.
00:20:44Mother, you saw that Aunt Julia. Thanks for reminding me, Dorothy. Now let's see. What is useful in a boarding house?
00:20:50A long reach. Money's useful in a boarding house, Mother. If I send Julia money, she'll only spend it.
00:20:57Send Aunt Julia a nice warm shawl, Miss Craig. That will be all? Yes, Craig.
00:21:04Christmas gets more appalling every year.
00:21:11Craig's so stupid. I'm sure she's omitted someone. She has.
00:21:18Mm-hmm. Now, what do you want for Christmas?
00:21:23What do you want for Christmas?
00:21:25Yes.
00:21:42All right, all right.
00:21:46What do you want for Christmas?
00:21:48Oh, I've selected my Christmas present.
00:21:50Oh, you have, have you?
00:21:51Well, what is it?
00:21:53Not what? Who?
00:21:55Stop your foolishness, Dorothy.
00:21:57What do you want for Christmas?
00:21:58A husband.
00:22:00How great I have no sense of humor.
00:22:02Wait a minute.
00:22:03So it's happened, has it?
00:22:04Mm-hmm.
00:22:05Give a woman four weeks.
00:22:07What are you talking about?
00:22:08Mother, I'm going to marry Dick Brunton.
00:22:11Dick Brunton?
00:22:13The working man?
00:22:14Yes.
00:22:15But he's a steel guard.
00:22:17Oh!
00:22:20Arthur, are you going to do nothing
00:22:22and your daughter's gone crazy?
00:22:24Oh, it's all your fault.
00:22:26Inviting him here to dinner, I...
00:22:28Oh!
00:22:34Dot, I can hardly believe it.
00:22:36I never thought he'd proposed to you.
00:22:39He didn't.
00:22:39I proposed to him.
00:22:42Well, I'll be...
00:22:44Oh, Dad, it's all right with you, isn't it?
00:22:49Can't I have him?
00:22:50But just think, Dot, he couldn't keep you in shoes.
00:22:52You're accustomed to all this.
00:22:54You'll never be able to give it up.
00:22:55Well, I don't intend to.
00:22:57You'll have to.
00:22:57He only earns $45 a week.
00:22:59But you're going to raise his salary.
00:23:01What?
00:23:01Dad, I want him more than anything in the world.
00:23:05Won't you please let me have him?
00:23:06Now, you know that I'd do anything to make you happy.
00:23:09Gee, you're a peach, Dad.
00:23:10He's a good man.
00:23:11And you'll promote him, won't you?
00:23:13I'll have to if you're going to marry him.
00:23:15And don't forget, I can't get along on a cent less than $50,000 a year.
00:23:18That's $50,000.
00:23:20Why, I couldn't possibly pay him that.
00:23:22It would disrupt my whole organization.
00:23:24Oh, Dad.
00:23:25Now, don't worry.
00:23:27I'll give him a little raise in salary.
00:23:30And I'll make up the difference out of my own pocket.
00:23:33Oh, thanks, Dad.
00:23:34But look here, Dot.
00:23:35Now, you be careful.
00:23:36A man has to be made of strong stuff not to let money spoil him.
00:23:40Don't let it spoil Dick.
00:23:42Money spoil Dick?
00:23:44Oh, don't be silly.
00:23:45You could never spoil Dick.
00:23:46Well, I'll have to be going.
00:23:47Now, where are you going?
00:23:48I promise, Dick, I'll go right over and tell him what you said.
00:23:51Bye.
00:23:51I'm in an awful hurry.
00:24:07Ah, that's you, Huey?
00:24:08I guess so.
00:24:10Can Dick come home with you?
00:24:11Two's company, three's a crowd.
00:24:15What are you talking about?
00:24:17Won't be long now.
00:24:18Coming events cast their shadows behind.
00:24:22Oh, going up and getting ready for dinner.
00:24:24I guess if you knew what I know, you'd believe in Santa Claus.
00:24:27Mother, I've got a surprise for you.
00:24:50A surprise?
00:24:51What is it?
00:24:52I'm going to be married.
00:24:53Dick.
00:24:58Dick.
00:25:01Oh, that's wonderful.
00:25:06Who is she?
00:25:07You just wait.
00:25:08She'll be here in a minute and you'll see her.
00:25:09I just knew something like this was going to happen.
00:25:12Oh, I know you're going to love her, Mother.
00:25:14Oh, I'll fix up the spare bedroom.
00:25:16Spare bedroom?
00:25:17Yes.
00:25:18You can have it until you move into a home of your own.
00:25:21Oh, Dick, this is lovely.
00:25:23Imagine getting a daughter for a Christmas present.
00:25:26A Christmas present for you, Mother.
00:25:45Mother, this is Dorothy.
00:25:46Dorothy Parker.
00:25:47You dear, dear child.
00:25:57Isn't she sweet?
00:25:58She certainly is.
00:26:01Well, I don't know what I've done to deserve the two best women in the world.
00:26:05Who told him he deserves us?
00:26:06Oh, you hug like a bear.
00:26:17Will you excuse me a moment?
00:26:18Please?
00:26:22Oh, Dick, I'm terribly happy.
00:26:24Everything's all right.
00:26:25And you don't know how glad I am, kitten.
00:26:27Kitten?
00:26:28Yeah, that's my pet name for you.
00:26:30Well, isn't that funny?
00:26:31You know, Dad used to call me that when I was a kid.
00:26:33Let's sit down.
00:26:34Want to take your coat off?
00:26:39Oh, no, Dick.
00:26:39I think we'd better be going.
00:26:41All right.
00:26:48Dear, I want you to have this.
00:26:51I wore it when I was young and my mother before me.
00:26:55It's supposed to bring good fortune to the bride.
00:26:58Why, what a lovely old ring.
00:27:00I wear it all the time.
00:27:01Mrs. Brunton, I can't tell you how much I appreciate this.
00:27:06I hope it brings you all the happiness in the world.
00:27:08I don't want to rush, Mother, but we've got a million things to do.
00:27:11No, that's all right.
00:27:12I understand.
00:27:16Listen, dear.
00:27:18Dick's a wonderful boy.
00:27:20But all men are peculiar.
00:27:23You just handle him right, and you'll be very happy.
00:27:25Oh, I understand.
00:27:32I'll be home early, Mother.
00:27:34Good night, Mrs. Brunton.
00:27:37Good night.
00:27:45Goodbye.
00:27:46Goodbye.
00:27:47Goodbye, Mother.
00:27:48Goodbye.
00:27:49Isn't that a beautiful car?
00:28:05I don't give it much.
00:28:07It's last year's model.
00:28:19Well, Huey, what do you think?
00:28:37I think he's a sap if he marries a dame like her.
00:28:41You'd never catch me doing that.
00:28:43Doggone if I'd slave for a million bucks a week
00:28:46just to have some canary spend it on brassieres.
00:28:50She's a nice girl.
00:28:52What's one man's meat is another guy's poison.
00:28:56I've heard a marriage is made in heaven,
00:28:59but not in the Parker steel plant.
00:29:02Well, they're so devoted.
00:29:04I think it'll work out all right.
00:29:05Don't kid yourself.
00:29:07I claim oil and water don't mix.
00:29:10East is west and west is east when Greek meets Greek.
00:29:16East is west and west.
00:29:43You were the loveliest bride.
00:30:01Boy, when you came down that aisle, it just took my breath away.
00:30:04Will you forgive me for kidnapping your son?
00:30:07Of course.
00:30:08I know he's in good hands.
00:30:13Dick, you have the most wonderful girl in the world.
00:30:17See that you take good care of her.
00:30:19I will, Mother.
00:30:21And don't you go shut in yourself in your room every night like you did with me.
00:30:26You know, Dick was always terribly ambitious.
00:30:29Yes, I know.
00:30:31Oh, I won't let him work too hard.
00:30:33Oh, well, I guess I'd better run along.
00:30:36You're in a hurry to get down to the boat.
00:30:38I'll say good-bye.
00:30:43Well, I'm going out to the car.
00:30:54Will you come along with me?
00:30:55Come on, Mother, dear.
00:31:08Goodbye, Dick.
00:31:10God bless you both.
00:31:12Goodbye, Mother.
00:31:18Say, Dick.
00:31:21Well, you happy?
00:31:23Yes, sir.
00:31:25Well, I hope you're a good sailor because my yacht isn't quite as large as the Leviathan.
00:31:29Now, have a good time.
00:31:31Lots of work for you when you come back.
00:31:32Well, I'll be ready.
00:31:33One thing more, Dick, you know, girls are peculiar and you have to handle them very carefully.
00:31:37Well, Dorothy and I, I think we understand each other, Mr. Parker.
00:31:40Yes, I know.
00:31:41But when little things crop up, as they will in the best of families, well, you give in
00:31:46a bit and a woman will give in a whole lot.
00:31:49I see.
00:31:50Just some spending money for your honeymoon.
00:31:54Well, haven't you made some mistake?
00:32:01That's all right.
00:32:03I want you both to remember your honeymoon as long as you live.
00:32:07But I can't...
00:32:08Now you turn down my check once for saving some lives.
00:32:12I want this one to remind you that I'm entrusting you with the most precious life in the world.
00:32:17Well, thank you, Mr. Parker.
00:32:47Come in.
00:32:51Hello, Dick.
00:32:53Isn't it funny?
00:32:54That door connects both our rooms.
00:32:55Oh, please come in.
00:32:57So I can really believe it.
00:32:59Still seems like a dream.
00:33:01Oh, you're nothing but a kid.
00:33:03And you're nothing but a kitten.
00:33:05It's been a strenuous day, getting married and running off to the yacht.
00:33:09So I think I'll retire.
00:33:12Good night, husband.
00:33:17See you in the morning.
00:33:27Good night.
00:33:47Kitten, you sleep?
00:33:59Mm-hmm.
00:34:17Oh, c'est charme, c'est charme, madame.
00:34:27You look marvelous in it.
00:34:42This, madame Breton, I have shown to no one else, for no one else could wear it as you can.
00:34:48Is that the kind of a woman you think I am?
00:34:51Oh, not that you are, but that you should look on occasion.
00:35:03What's that, Prince?
00:35:04But I didn't order a coat.
00:35:10But I knew you will, after you saw this.
00:35:12Oh, it's magnificent.
00:35:14It was smuggled out of Russia, a few skins at the time.
00:35:19Don't tempt me, Prince.
00:35:20We're almost broke.
00:35:22But when your husband sees you in this,
00:35:24he will not think of the expense.
00:35:28Oh, ha, ha, ha.
00:35:29I'll try it on, but I won't take it.
00:35:36Oh, it's beautiful.
00:35:38It is a charm.
00:35:39What's the bad news, Prince?
00:35:43Oh, only 200,000 francs.
00:35:47Good heavens, I can't afford that.
00:35:50Afford $10,000 for a coat like this, madame.
00:35:55Billy, you frighten me when you say it in francs.
00:35:58But put that way, it does seem sort of the...
00:36:01It's amazing.
00:36:05...
00:36:05That's his name.
00:36:06I'm going to be grateful for him.
00:36:08Thank you, sir.
00:36:09I love you, Chris.
00:36:15I love you who comes.
00:36:18There you are.
00:36:41Merci bien, madame.
00:36:42Merci beaucoup.
00:36:44Au revoir, madame.
00:36:45Au revoir.
00:36:48Au revoir, mesdames.
00:36:50Au revoir.
00:36:52Au revoir, mesdames.
00:36:54Au revoir, monsieur.
00:36:57Do you really like it?
00:36:58I think it's perfectly stunning.
00:37:00I do.
00:37:02Oh, Dick, come here.
00:37:03I want to show you something.
00:37:05Where's Llewellyn?
00:37:06Why, he's downstairs.
00:37:09I think you'll be up in a moment.
00:37:11Entrez.
00:37:18Oh, my Pansy is dying.
00:37:21Oh, my baby.
00:37:23What's happened to my beautiful baby?
00:37:26Oh, my darling baby.
00:37:29Oh.
00:37:30Listen, darling, I can explain everything.
00:37:32I thought at least you could take care of my dog to earn your living.
00:37:34I know, Pess.
00:37:35But don't talk to me.
00:37:36You're not fit for anything.
00:37:37You're not a man.
00:37:38You're just what everybody calls you.
00:37:40Oh, now, Pess, please, let me explain.
00:37:41Get out of my sight, you.
00:37:44You worm.
00:37:45All right, Pess.
00:37:49Aren't you a little rough on Lucille?
00:37:52What do you think I give him his allowance for?
00:37:54Look at my darling.
00:37:55Just look at her.
00:37:57Can't the poor sap do anything to earn his money?
00:38:00Just look at my darling.
00:38:02Just look at her.
00:38:03Oh, you don't understand what I've been through.
00:38:05Just wait until I get him alone.
00:38:08I'm awfully sorry this has to happen, Dick.
00:38:11I'll see you again later.
00:38:14Good night.
00:38:15Then mother's little baby girl.
00:38:17Get hurted by the nasty, mean old man.
00:38:20Just wait until mother gets home.
00:38:33But, Dick, how do you like the coat?
00:38:35Oh, don't try and change the subject.
00:38:36Disgusting, wasn't it?
00:38:37I'm through with her.
00:38:38That's all right.
00:38:39You know what I mean.
00:38:41Kept husband there.
00:38:42If you apply that to yourself, it's an insult to me.
00:38:45Well, that's what I am.
00:38:46Until we get home.
00:38:47You're making me angry.
00:38:48You're making me angry.
00:38:48Oh, please don't be angry with me, Doc.
00:38:57Oh, please don't be angry with me, Doc.
00:39:09Well, if you promise not to say things like that anymore, I...
00:39:12You've got to get back to work.
00:39:13But look, we haven't been to Doleville, Nice, Monte Carlo, Arbirez.
00:39:17But that's the best part of our honeymoon.
00:39:19Your old work can keep.
00:39:20How about keeping my self-respect?
00:39:22Oh, why can't we stay over here longer?
00:39:25Why, a few more months won't do any harm.
00:39:27Well...
00:39:28What are you thinking about?
00:39:37Well, it's cold.
00:39:38200,000 francs.
00:39:39That's $10,000.
00:39:41Well, it's worth it.
00:39:42Well, where's the money coming from?
00:39:43Oh, don't be so dense.
00:39:44All you have to do is cable father.
00:39:46Well, I've cabled him three times already.
00:39:48And he hasn't turned his damn once.
00:39:49Well, I'm not going to keep on hitting him for more.
00:39:51Not if I ask you?
00:39:53Oh, please don't ask me.
00:39:55You know I've got to get back to work.
00:39:57I've got to start earning a living.
00:39:59But there's no rush.
00:40:01Now, your father's been wonderful,
00:40:02but I'm not going to impose on him any longer.
00:40:11But we've got to go back.
00:40:13Oh, Doc, what's the matter?
00:40:16You know very well your old work can wait.
00:40:18But it isn't right.
00:40:19We've got to go back.
00:40:20First, we're going to Deauville, Nice, Monte Carlo, and Beerus.
00:40:25No, we're not going to Deauville, Nice, Monte Carlo, and Beerus.
00:40:29We're going home.
00:40:43We're going home.
00:41:04I'll see you next time.
00:41:34Well, how do you like it?
00:41:57Well, it's fine.
00:41:59But let's sleep.
00:42:00It's all right for people who like this sort of thing, but we won't stay here long.
00:42:03Well, what do you mean?
00:42:04Tomorrow, you and I will go looking for a little apartment.
00:42:07Say, that's right.
00:42:08I'd forgotten on the back side.
00:42:09We do need a little place in town.
00:42:11Say, what are you driving in?
00:42:13Don't you know where we are?
00:42:14We're home.
00:42:16Home?
00:42:17Our home?
00:42:18Yes.
00:42:18I've been saving it for a surprise.
00:42:20Surprise!
00:42:20To the homecoming.
00:42:36To the homecoming.
00:42:42Jolly times and happy moments.
00:42:44They're both too happy for work, Huey.
00:42:52Isn't it wonderful to think they've been in every spot in Europe?
00:42:57England, France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, everywhere.
00:43:01Yeah, well, I don't want to discourage you,
00:43:04but a rolling stone gathers no moss.
00:43:07Dick has a wonderful wife.
00:43:11I'm so glad.
00:43:14Didn't they ask you over to the house?
00:43:17This is their first night in their new home,
00:43:19and they'll want to be alone and quiet.
00:43:34Well, Mr. Parker, I'm ready to go back on the job.
00:43:37That's great. I'm glad to hear it.
00:43:39We've got a fine office for you, son,
00:43:42and we're going to keep you mighty busy.
00:43:44That's great.
00:43:46Well, we've got to be going.
00:43:56I'm going to say goodnight, Dick.
00:43:58See, I think you and Dot ought to be alone.
00:44:01Oh, by the way, where is Dot?
00:44:02I want to say goodnight.
00:44:03Well, I don't know.
00:44:04Oh, well, never mind.
00:44:05I'll see you again later.
00:44:07Come to Welland.
00:44:08We must go.
00:44:09Goodnight.
00:44:09Goodnight.
00:44:11Well, Dick, we'll have to go, too.
00:44:13Tell me, how did the boyfriend behave?
00:44:16Did he sleep in his overalls?
00:44:18Well, do you care what he sleeps in?
00:44:20Can't you do anything besides nut people?
00:44:23Now, listen, Dot.
00:44:24You think you're kidding me,
00:44:25but you're only kidding yourself.
00:44:27About Dick?
00:44:28Oh, you're crazy.
00:44:30Oh, this marriage can't last.
00:44:32I've never seen one that could,
00:44:33and you know it's true.
00:44:34But Dick and I are different.
00:44:36I know.
00:44:37But he just doesn't belong with this crowd.
00:44:39Don't worry about him.
00:44:41He will before I get through with him.
00:44:42Oh, you're going to have a tough time
00:44:44making a tea hound out of that, uh,
00:44:46what do you call him?
00:44:47Oh, yes, steel boss.
00:44:49What's the matter?
00:44:50If you don't stop rising, Dick...
00:44:52Oh, I'm sorry.
00:44:54Won't you forgive me?
00:44:56Yes.
00:44:57If it won't happen again.
00:44:58It won't.
00:44:59I promise.
00:45:00Cross my heart.
00:45:01Right?
00:45:03Now, listen, just to prove it,
00:45:04we're still good friends.
00:45:05How about a little kiss?
00:45:07Just one, shall we?
00:45:15Uh-oh.
00:45:23Aren't you forgetting your friends?
00:45:24They're all going home.
00:45:26Well, if that's the case,
00:45:27I guess I'd better go along.
00:45:28Good night, Dot.
00:45:29Good night, Charlie.
00:45:31Good night, Dick.
00:45:33Sorry, Dick.
00:45:34I'll bid them good night.
00:45:43Good night, Dot.
00:45:44Good night. Good night.
00:45:46All right, good night. Good night, Ralph.
00:45:49Good night. Good night. That's great.
00:45:52Good night. Good night, Jake. Good night, Doc.
00:45:54Good night. Good night. That's good.
00:45:56Come again, will you?
00:46:14Well, what have you got to say for yourself?
00:46:20Wasn't it a swell party?
00:46:22You know what I mean.
00:46:23No. What?
00:46:24You're necking with Bates.
00:46:26Oh, Jake, don't be silly. I've known Charlie all my life.
00:46:29That doesn't make any difference.
00:46:31You don't mean to tell me you're jealous.
00:46:33You just bet I am. I don't care very much for Mr. Bates.
00:46:37Now, look, Charlie's all right. Now, don't go worrying about that.
00:46:40Listen, Doc. Don't ever let it happen again.
00:46:43Well, of course I won't if you feel that way about it.
00:46:47Come on, now. Let's go inspect the house, huh?
00:46:50Oh, wait a minute. We can't stay here.
00:46:52Why not?
00:46:53It isn't right. It's too much. Your father's been too kind to us.
00:46:55Besides, I could never support this place on my salary.
00:46:58Is that all that's bothering you?
00:47:00Yes. And that's why we're going into a smaller place.
00:47:03Oh, Jake. Oh, I'll be so disappointed. Why, I planned everything.
00:47:08I know, dear, but...
00:47:09Now, look, Jake. What would everybody say if we left this house?
00:47:12If we left this house?
00:47:14Oh, Jake. You'd do this for your little kittens, won't you?
00:47:19Well, I'd do anything in the world for you.
00:47:22Oh.
00:47:23Well, I'd do anything in the world for you.
00:47:24Oh.
00:47:25Oh.
00:47:26Oh.
00:47:27Oh.
00:47:28Hello, Huey. How's everything at the factory?
00:47:33sufficient unto the day is the evil thereafter.
00:47:40Hello, Huey. How's everything at the factory?
00:47:58Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereafter.
00:48:02Why, what do you mean?
00:48:04That son of yours is getting pretty high hat.
00:48:07Well, a friend in need is a friend indeed.
00:48:11Why, what has Dick done?
00:48:13It ain't what he's done, it's what he ain't done.
00:48:16He won't even get me that job as boss puddler.
00:48:19Why, I do more work around there now than he does.
00:48:22He don't do nothing. He's the joke of the joint.
00:48:25Oh, now, Huey, I'm sure...
00:48:27Well, he won't high hat this baby any longer.
00:48:30I'm through with him.
00:48:31We are known by the company we do not keep.
00:48:37Good morning, Miss Bell.
00:48:57Good morning.
00:49:02Any calls?
00:49:03Yes, Mr. Parker's been trying to get you all morning.
00:49:06Said he'd call after lunch.
00:49:07And Mrs. Brenton called. Said she'd call back.
00:49:10Oh, fine.
00:49:11Good morning.
00:49:12Good morning.
00:49:13Good morning.
00:49:14Good morning.
00:49:15Good morning.
00:49:16Good morning.
00:49:17Good morning.
00:49:18Good morning.
00:49:19Good morning.
00:49:20Good morning.
00:49:21Good morning.
00:49:22Good morning.
00:49:23Good morning.
00:49:24Good morning.
00:49:25Good morning.
00:49:26Good morning.
00:49:27Good morning.
00:49:28Good morning.
00:49:29Good morning.
00:49:30Good morning.
00:49:31Good morning.
00:49:32Good morning.
00:49:33Good morning.
00:49:34Good morning.
00:49:35Good morning.
00:49:36Good morning.
00:49:37Good morning.
00:49:38Good morning.
00:49:39Good morning.
00:49:40Hello?
00:49:44Oh, yes, just a moment, please.
00:49:46Mrs. Brenton on the wire, Mr. Brenton.
00:49:51Hello, kitten.
00:49:52I just wanted to remind you, dear, I'll meet you at the recital at 2.30.
00:49:56And don't forget, we're due at the Ritz at 5.
00:49:59Oh, yes, and Rose Clayton's giving us that big dinner party at the club tonight.
00:50:05All right.
00:50:07Goodbye, sweetheart.
00:50:10Any orders, Mr. Brenton?
00:50:14Due at the recital at 2.30.
00:50:17The Ritz at 5.
00:50:20Oh, never mind about that.
00:50:29Well, Nick.
00:50:31Well, I've got big news for you.
00:50:33That's all?
00:50:34Looking for you all morning.
00:50:35Well, I'm sorry I didn't feel very well.
00:50:37Oh, that's all right.
00:50:38You still think Barber's idea about that bridge is practical?
00:50:42I know it is.
00:50:43Well, you know it's against all theories of engineering.
00:50:45Yes, but this bridge won't be built on theories.
00:50:48It'll be built on brains and imagination and concrete and steel.
00:50:52Why, look at this.
00:50:54Now, when Barber planned to put those steel girders...
00:50:56Now, that's all right, that's far enough.
00:50:58I just want to know if you are still sold on the idea.
00:51:01More than ever.
00:51:02Fine.
00:51:03That's just the way I feel.
00:51:04Now, what I want to tell you is this.
00:51:06I've made up my mind to take the biggest gamble of my life.
00:51:10I am going to win this contract with that bridge.
00:51:14You'll never make it.
00:51:16You know what you're up against, don't you?
00:51:17A bunch of old fogies who can't see anything new or original.
00:51:20Yeah, the thing I need most is a man who knows this idea from every angle.
00:51:25A man who will set them afire with his own enthusiasm.
00:51:28A man who gets whatever he goes after, no matter how tough the opposition.
00:51:31You mean Barber?
00:51:34No, he's an inventor.
00:51:35I want a salesman.
00:51:37The man I've picked up to put this thing over is...
00:51:40you.
00:51:42Me?
00:51:42Yes, if you can sell a hard-boiled egg like me, you can certainly sell those St. Louis boys.
00:51:46You bet I can.
00:51:47Of course you can.
00:51:48All you need to do is put that old fighting football spirit into it and you can't fail.
00:51:52Don't you worry, I won't fail you.
00:51:54Why, son, it's the chance of a lifetime.
00:51:56I know it is.
00:51:57Now catch the next train.
00:51:58Oh, now take it easy.
00:51:59Time enough for that tonight.
00:52:01What we'll do, we'll spend this afternoon going over this thing from A to Z so there
00:52:05won't be any chance of a slip-up.
00:52:07Oh, boy.
00:52:07Just wait till I tell Don.
00:52:09Won't you be proud to know that you gave me this big job?
00:52:13How long will I be away?
00:52:14About two weeks.
00:52:17Great, I'll take her with me.
00:52:18Fine.
00:52:18Now, come on.
00:52:19We'll go over to the office and go through this thing thoroughly.
00:52:22All right.
00:52:27I'm fine, Mary.
00:52:28By the way, did Mr. Broughton call and say he'd be detained?
00:52:32No, no, madam.
00:52:39Dot?
00:52:43Dot?
00:52:47Oh, Dot, I've got the grandest news.
00:52:49Good heavens, where have you been?
00:52:50Oh, my gosh, I forgot to call you.
00:52:52Yes.
00:52:53You didn't come to the recital.
00:52:54You didn't show up at the Ritz.
00:52:56And here it is, nearly 8 o'clock, and you know very well with you at that party.
00:52:59Oh, but wait.
00:53:01Gee, your father's a grand old scout.
00:53:02He's given me the biggest job in the history of the company.
00:53:04You can tell me all about it later.
00:53:06No, I can't.
00:53:07We're leaving for St. Louis tonight.
00:53:09What?
00:53:10Sure, you and I.
00:53:11Have you gone out of your head?
00:53:13Of course I have.
00:53:14Now, come on and get your things packed.
00:53:22Have you forgotten the Claytons are giving a dinner in our honor at the club tonight?
00:53:25Oh, Dickens with a dinner.
00:53:26We're shoving off for St. Louis.
00:53:44Oh, Dickens, what's the matter?
00:54:05Matter?
00:54:06Well, of all the crazy stunts going to St. Louis, I'll give Father peace of my mind.
00:54:10Well, but giving us a chance of a lifetime.
00:54:12It'll be a great trip for you and a nice change for two weeks.
00:54:15Two weeks?
00:54:16At the top of the season?
00:54:17What a chance.
00:54:19Oh, it'll be like a second honeymoon.
00:54:21Well, I've decided you not to go.
00:54:22That's all there is to it.
00:54:27Hey, what are you doing?
00:54:29I'll tell Dad a thing or two.
00:54:31Riverside, 6826.
00:54:34Oh, give me that.
00:54:34Oh, no.
00:54:36I'm going to St. Louis, and you're going with me.
00:54:38With a book full of engagements?
00:54:40I guess not.
00:54:41Well, then it looks as if I'll have to go alone.
00:54:43Oh.
00:54:44And you'd leave me all alone for two weeks?
00:54:46I can't help it.
00:54:47Business is business.
00:54:48And you think more of business than you do about me?
00:54:51No, you know, it isn't that at all.
00:54:53Oh, don't let's quarrel about it.
00:54:55I don't want to quarrel either, dear.
00:54:57You do love your little kittens, don't you?
00:54:59And you won't go away and leave your little kittens all alone for two weeks, will you?
00:55:03Oh, I do love you, Dot.
00:55:05Well, I've got to go.
00:55:09Well, go if you want to.
00:55:10Oh, now, be reasonable.
00:55:12Be reasonable, huh?
00:55:13Go to St. Louis.
00:55:14Don't let me keep you.
00:55:15I'll find someone who'll be glad to take me out.
00:55:17Oh, now, listen.
00:55:18No.
00:55:19I'll find someone who'll be glad to take me out.
00:55:49Aren't you going to say goodbye, Dot?
00:56:14Goodbye.
00:56:15Goodbye.
00:56:19Then go to St. Louis.
00:56:33Dick, you don't mean to tell me you left her crying.
00:56:51Dick, I'm ashamed of you.
00:56:54Can't you see?
00:56:54It wasn't my fault.
00:56:55Oh, wasn't it?
00:56:56She made her plans, and you rushed in without warning and upset them.
00:57:00But mine were more important.
00:57:01Oh, yes, to you.
00:57:03But her plans might have been just as important to her.
00:57:06Oh, I never thought of that.
00:57:08Now, you go on right home and smooth it over.
00:57:11But I can't.
00:57:12I haven't time.
00:57:13You've got to find time.
00:57:15You can't leave her like this.
00:57:17Well, there's no telling what might happen, a high-spirited girl like her.
00:57:20Well, what could I do?
00:57:23Take her in your arms and ask her to forgive you.
00:57:27And give up the trip?
00:57:28You won't have to give up anything.
00:57:31But be fair to her.
00:57:32Don't ask her to give up anything, either.
00:57:34But what if she insists?
00:57:36Just take her in your arms the right way, and she won't insist.
00:57:41I'll bet you'll find her all packed up and waiting for you to ask her.
00:57:48Oh, you look lovely in that gown, madam.
00:57:51I've been saving it for a special occasion.
00:57:57Hello?
00:57:58It's Mr. Baker.
00:57:59Oh, let me talk to her.
00:58:02Hello, Charlie.
00:58:03I'll phone Dorothy right away, mother.
00:58:05Carlton, 8-8-3-1.
00:58:11Now, you'll be nice to her.
00:58:20Well, when am I going to see you?
00:58:22I'll see you over at the party tonight.
00:58:28What's the matter?
00:58:29Well, I'm busy.
00:58:31I know what I'll do.
00:58:32I'll run home and catch her before she leaves.
00:58:34Now, don't you worry.
00:58:48Is Mrs. Brunton upstairs?
00:58:49No, sir.
00:58:50She just left.
00:58:51Hello?
00:58:52Give me Lakewood 6522.
00:59:05Please.
00:59:07please. Hello. Is this the Lakeview Country Club? Well, Mrs. Brunton will be there shortly
00:59:19with the Clayton party. I wonder if you'd have her call her home. Yes, Mr. Brunton,
00:59:23as soon as she comes in. Thank you. Say when. All right. When?
00:59:37Thank you. You're welcome. Give us a little toast. Know any new ones? No, I don't. Pardon me a moment.
01:00:07I didn't want any intruders coming in. Well, well, the old 10-20-30 stuff, eh? Surely,
01:00:21why not? Well, here's to you. Here's to both of us. Let her go.
01:00:27Let her go. How about some more? Fine. Now, give me Lakewood 6522. Yes. Hello? Is this the
01:00:54Lakeview Country Club? Well, this is Mr. Brunton speaking. Mrs. Brunton is there with the
01:00:59Clayton party. I wonder if you'd call her to the phone. I'm sorry, sir. The Clayton party
01:01:03has been called off. Called off? Well, is Mrs. Brunton there? No, sir. She just left
01:01:11up with Mr. Bates.
01:01:18Sure.
01:01:22Here we go.
01:01:31Here we go.
01:01:34Ah!
01:01:36The sound of the gong denoted exactly 2 a.m. Eastern Standard Time
01:01:47and marks the conclusion of our program.
01:01:50Good night, pleasant dreams.
01:01:59Is that right, 2 o'clock?
01:02:01Oh, the evening is still early.
01:02:03Really, Charlie, I'd better be trotting along.
01:02:06You know, I'm terribly disappointed in you.
01:02:09Yes?
01:02:09Mm-hmm.
01:02:10Well, we'll certainly have to fix that.
01:02:14I thought you had lots more finesse.
01:02:17I suppose your big he-man taught you all the fine points of the game.
01:02:21Oh, never mind about him.
01:02:23Get my thing.
01:02:24I'm bored stiff.
01:02:26I thought, sure, you'd give me a thrill.
01:02:28Don't worry, darling.
01:02:29You're going to get your thrill.
01:02:31Don't play so rough, Charlie.
01:02:34You're a cute little kid.
01:02:36Kitten.
01:02:46Kitten?
01:02:47Why, you're a little hellcat.
01:02:49Ah, the perils of the big city.
01:02:52Isn't any working girl safe?
01:02:54Not with this fiend in human form.
01:02:57Unhand me, Jack Dalton.
01:02:58Think of my reputation.
01:03:00Please.
01:03:00Just think of mine.
01:03:06Why, if I let you go, it'd be fatal to my reputation.
01:03:09Wait, wait.
01:03:11If you come one step nearer, I'll plunge this dagger in my heart.
01:03:14All right, clown if you want to, but don't forget.
01:03:16The villain still pursues her.
01:03:19No, honestly, Charlie, you slay me.
01:03:22Your technique is rotten.
01:03:24Yes?
01:03:25Well, you ain't seen nothing yet.
01:03:27Wait, what am I supposed to do now?
01:03:31Scream, I know.
01:03:32How loud can you scream?
01:03:35Not loud enough.
01:03:37Oh, will the Marines never come?
01:03:41How?
01:03:41How?
01:03:41What's that?
01:03:42It's the United States Cavalry, boys.
01:03:48We are sheds.
01:04:02There you are, Doc.
01:04:03You win.
01:04:04But stay a while.
01:04:05Don't rush off.
01:04:06I'd love to, Charlie.
01:04:07But I've got to be up first thing in the morning.
01:04:10Yes?
01:04:10What's the big idea?
01:04:11I'm going to grab the first train for St. Louis.
01:04:17I'll get your wraps for you.
01:04:41Good night, Charlie.
01:04:49Good night, Doc.
01:04:50Good night.
01:04:50Good night.
01:04:51Good night.
01:04:51Why, Dick, I thought you'd go to St. Louis.
01:05:19Where have you been?
01:05:35You know, Rose and Bob Clayton.
01:05:38Yes.
01:05:38At the party, remember?
01:05:40Must have been some party.
01:05:42Oh, it was. Oh, it was an awful brawl.
01:05:44Lots to drink.
01:05:46Barrel. Why?
01:05:47Because those parties usually don't break up until they've cleaned out the last bottle of booze.
01:05:52And it's pretty late.
01:05:53Yes, I know.
01:05:54But you see, oh, Rose passed out.
01:05:57And Bob asked me to take care of her.
01:05:59Anything serious?
01:06:01Oh, no.
01:06:02Just a bad head.
01:06:02But, oh, she's all right now.
01:06:04That's good.
01:06:05Oh, Dick.
01:06:18Oh, Dick.
01:06:29Dick, let me explain.
01:06:31You don't have to.
01:06:32You're with Bates, and I can guess the rest.
01:06:34But, Dick, I want to tell you the truth.
01:06:36Don't bother.
01:06:38Don't you love me anymore?
01:06:41Why don't you ask yourself the same question?
01:06:43But you know I do.
01:06:44I don't know anything of the kind.
01:06:45Why, I just told you.
01:06:46Yes, you've told me a lot of things, but I don't believe you.
01:06:49Oh, Dick.
01:06:50Oh, expect me to believe a liar and a cheat?
01:06:53You dare say that to me?
01:06:54Well, that's what you are.
01:06:55You didn't give me a chance to tell you.
01:06:56You've had your chance.
01:06:57You've told me enough.
01:06:58I can account for everything.
01:06:59Oh, I don't doubt that.
01:07:00All your friends weren't drunk and put in jail.
01:07:02Oh, I know all about you and Charlie Bates.
01:07:04That's just it.
01:07:05You don't know a thing about it.
01:07:06Well, I can guess.
01:07:08I'm well acquainted with the rotten habits of that crowd you trot around with.
01:07:11The rotten crowd, eh?
01:07:12Well, I notice you don't mind trotting around with them.
01:07:14Oh, don't I?
01:07:14Well, I only did it to please you.
01:07:16You accept their friendship and hospitality.
01:07:19Then you turn around and call them...
01:07:20A rotten bunch of pasty-faced, loose-lipped wasters.
01:07:22Parasites!
01:07:25Parasites?
01:07:25Well, that's good.
01:07:29That sounds fine coming from you.
01:07:31Why, you're in the same class as Llewellyn Post.
01:07:33Only you won't admit it.
01:07:34Oh, I'll admit it.
01:07:35I'm nothing but a kept husband.
01:07:37Since you put it that way, that's just what you are.
01:07:40That's just what I was.
01:07:41Was?
01:07:42What are you going to do?
01:07:43Quit.
01:07:44I'm through with you, and I'm through with all this.
01:07:46Through chiseling your father out of all that money I don't earn just to be your lapdog.
01:07:50Oh, is that so?
01:07:51Well, you can keep all that stuff.
01:07:52There's only one thing I'll keep.
01:07:54That's my self-respect.
01:07:55All right.
01:07:57I won't give you back this engagement ring, because I paid for it myself.
01:08:01But you can give this back to your mother.
01:08:03Here.
01:08:09Goodbye, Mr. Bresden.
01:08:11My lawyers will call you up in a few days.
01:08:12Don't hold me up for too much alimony.
01:08:24You don't look so snappy this morning, Mrs. Brunton.
01:08:27I didn't sleep a wink all night.
01:08:32Worried about Dick.
01:08:33Ah, he's all right.
01:08:35He takes after you.
01:08:37Great oaks from little acorns grow.
01:08:39I know everything's all right, but still, I...
01:08:46Say, I ain't gonna raise my room rent just because I'm a boss puddler, are you?
01:08:51No, Huey.
01:08:53You better hurry.
01:08:54I never hurry.
01:08:56I claim haste makes waste.
01:09:00Holy moat.
01:09:01Good morning, Mr. Bresden.
01:09:11Good morning, Mr. Bresden.
01:09:11Good morning.
01:09:12Mrs. Brunton downstairs?
01:09:14No, sir.
01:09:14She hasn't come down yet today.
01:09:20My daughter in?
01:09:21Yes, sir, but you can't see her.
01:09:22Why can't I?
01:09:23She's been ill.
01:09:25She hasn't slept.
01:09:26Well, that's just too bad.
01:09:28Look at that.
01:09:58Oh, Dad, I'm terribly sorry.
01:10:13You ought to be.
01:10:14Though little good it'll do you.
01:10:15Well, what do you mean?
01:10:16You almost ruined the biggest deal the Parker Steel Corporation ever had.
01:10:19Yes?
01:10:20And you ruined one of the finest boys I ever saw.
01:10:22I did not.
01:10:23I tell you, you did.
01:10:24You rotted his soul.
01:10:25You killed his manhood and ambition.
01:10:27Why, when he walked into the office with this, I thought I was looking at a ghost.
01:10:30Why, what is he?
01:10:31I don't know what he's done, and I hate to think what he might do.
01:10:34I tried to pep him up and make him take that St. Louis job, but I'm afraid.
01:10:38Oh, I'm afraid, too.
01:10:40You had an infernal nerve letting your pink tees interfere with that boy's career?
01:10:43What right of you to say that to me when it's all your fault?
01:10:46My fault?
01:10:47Yes.
01:10:47Oh, it's no good arguing with you.
01:10:49You men always stick together.
01:10:50Well, you can get rid of this house.
01:10:52I never want to live in it again.
01:10:53You'd better get rid of some of your foolishness, and you've got to find that boy and find him quick.
01:10:57And what's more, you're going back to him.
01:10:59I won't go back.
01:11:00I won't go back.
01:11:01I won't.
01:11:01I won't.
01:11:02I won't.
01:11:02I won't.
01:11:02I won't.
01:11:03I won't.
01:11:03I won't.
01:11:03I won't go back.
01:11:07Well, he said goodbye.
01:11:12But he said he couldn't go to St. Louis and put that deal over the way he was feeling.
01:11:16Mother, I'd give anything to see him just for a minute.
01:11:24I'm afraid, dear, from what you've told me.
01:11:28It's too late.
01:11:40There, there, there, now, dear.
01:11:42I didn't mean that.
01:11:43No, it's just as you said.
01:11:47It's too late.
01:11:49Oh, Mother, I've been just rotten.
01:11:51No, you haven't, dear.
01:11:53You've just been human.
01:11:56But why did I say, oh, why didn't I cut my tongue off?
01:12:00Oh, well, you didn't mean it.
01:12:01Dick should have known you didn't mean it.
01:12:03Oh, can you blame him?
01:12:04Who'd stand for being called a little dark?
01:12:06All husbands are kept.
01:12:11Some of them are kept with money.
01:12:13But most of them with love, devotion, and sacrifice.
01:12:18Why, it's every woman's mission in life.
01:12:21Keeping her husband.
01:12:24Mother.
01:12:24Oh.
01:12:25Couldn't you find him, Mr. Hanreddy?
01:12:35No, didn't he phone in?
01:12:37No.
01:12:38What can't be cured must be endured.
01:12:40Any luck, Hanreddy?
01:12:45No, couldn't find him anywhere.
01:12:47Been in every speakeasy in town.
01:12:49By George.
01:12:50I wonder...
01:12:52Say, I think I know where I can find him.
01:12:54Call my chauffeur.
01:12:55Tell him to bring my car at once.
01:12:56Yes, sir.
01:12:57Connecticut wrapper with acidity filler.
01:13:17Beggars can't be choosers.
01:13:27Oh, boy, I'm glad you didn't change your mind.
01:13:37Mr. Parker...
01:13:37I knew you wouldn't fail me, buddy.
01:13:39All aboard!
01:13:40Don't you worry a minute.
01:13:40I'll put this deal over.
01:13:42But that resignation goes the minute I get it over.
01:13:43We'll talk about that when you get back.
01:13:45There we go.
01:13:46All right, Joe.
01:13:48Goodbye.
01:13:49Good luck.
01:13:57And, boy, bring in a table.
01:14:06Yes, sir.
01:14:06Come right up, boss.
01:14:16Oh, Dick.
01:14:18What are you doing here?
01:14:20Aren't you glad to see me?
01:14:21I can't say that.
01:14:22I'm no liar.
01:14:23Oh, I don't blame you.
01:14:25I did lie to you, but I'm no chief.
01:14:27I couldn't let you go away without explaining it to you.
01:14:30Oh, Dick, you must believe me.
01:14:34Oh, I do believe you.
01:14:36Oh, thanks.
01:14:37Oh, listen, Dick, I'm going to get rid of the house.
01:14:40Oh, that's not enough.
01:14:41We're not going to be kept by your father's money any longer.
01:14:43Oh, no, never.
01:14:45Dick, we're going to live on your salary.
01:14:47But wait a minute.
01:14:49Will you do me a favor?
01:14:50What is it?
01:14:51Let's start all over again.
01:14:53You propose to me.
01:14:56Will you be my wife?
01:14:58Yes.
01:14:59But this time, I'm going to keep you in a different way.
01:15:02THE END
