00:04:21Do you think you're paying Pop here for it?

00:04:23He's going down to your rotten fungus swamps

00:04:25because he's fool enough to believe

00:04:26that he's got to be about his father's business.

00:04:28And there aren't dollars enough in the world

00:04:30to send him across the street.

00:04:32Okay.

00:04:33I guess I asked for it.

00:04:35I know I got it.

00:04:37Now, why didn't you stay mad?

00:04:38I had a lot more to say.

00:04:40But if you're going to remain here in charge of this laboratory,

00:04:42don't try it again.

00:04:44He goes too precise with me.

00:04:45The devil, you say.

00:04:47Then the noble words were for yourself.

00:04:49Oh, so you're going to be tough to get along with again.

00:04:52Listen, if he's as sublime a goof as I've painted him,

00:04:55he needs somebody to look after him.

00:04:58Well, I got Edith all fixed.

00:05:00I've got a thirst to fix.

00:05:01And I know where to do that, too.

00:05:03So, good night, noble experiment.

00:05:06Mr. Winters, we who are about to die, salute you.

00:05:21Oh, my God.

00:05:40Claiborne's into us for five grand.

00:05:45Nine.

00:05:46And it's red.

00:05:47How do you expect to keep your customers?

00:05:49Take another shot at him.

00:05:50He's scared to death.

00:05:52Here's a hundred.

00:05:53One.

00:05:55Somebody worked hard for your money.

00:05:57Five hundred.

00:05:57Twenty on eight.

00:06:02Hey, you got lots of chips there.

00:06:03I can see them.

00:06:08Eight on black.

00:06:09One seventy-five for Miss Wilson.

00:06:11One pearl-handled pistol and some curtains, please.

00:06:13Either that or kill somebody.

00:06:16All down.

00:06:16Here comes the winner.

00:06:17Another five on eight.

00:06:21Eight on black.

00:06:24Tough luck, Mr. Claiborne.

00:06:27Now I know why they call you Fish Eye.

00:06:30You're in five grand.

00:06:32All right, I'll give you a little check.

00:06:33Number eight repeats.

00:06:35Now, you see, if you hadn't stopped me, I'd be even.

00:06:37That's all.

00:06:37Well, cash me in.

00:06:38Two hundred dollars.

00:06:39If you'll come into my office, Miss Wilson, I'll cash them in.

00:06:41Oh, no, I'll take it right here.

00:06:43That is, unless you don't want to be seen crying in public.

00:06:45There's a little matter I'd like to talk to you about.

00:06:47It'll only take a moment.

00:06:48Excuse me.

00:06:49I think he wants to give me half interest in the place.

00:06:51Allow me.

00:06:54This way, please.

00:07:02Cute little place you got here.

00:07:04Like it?

00:07:04Bet this furniture cost a couple of heartbreaks.

00:07:13How that must hurt.

00:07:15Thanks, Fish Eye.

00:07:16It's a pleasure to see you win.

00:07:17Sorry I haven't had more chance to please you.

00:07:19Remember, there's plenty more where that comes from.

00:07:21Yeah?

00:07:22Well, that goes for back bills and some new rags.

00:07:24Miss Wilson, you come here quite a bit, don't you?

00:07:26What do you do for a living?

00:07:28I'm a fugitive from Major Bozauer.

00:07:30No.

00:07:30On the level?

00:07:31Don't you know?

00:07:32No.

00:07:33Oh, I'm a mannequin.

00:07:35Buyers have to be entertained, and it's a swell way to do it if you want to eat regularly.

00:07:39Well, you're entitled to get more out of it than just dinner and a couple of drinks.

00:07:43Now, there are several girls who always make a point of bringing their friends here.

00:07:48Oh.

00:07:48Steering for suckers, huh?

00:07:50That's the idea.

00:07:51I kick back ten percent of them.

00:07:53I'd be glad to cut you in.

00:07:54So you think I'd bring guys in here to have you fleece them to get a cut?

00:07:58Isn't it bad enough they have to pay through the nose for phony food and liquor?

00:08:01Now, wait a minute.

00:08:03Lay off, will you?

00:08:04That's the crummiest proposition I ever heard.

00:08:06All right, lady.

00:08:08But keep your mouth shut.

00:08:09I'd hate to see anything happen to them pretty teeth of yours.

00:08:24I've got enough left to buy you a drink.

00:08:25I came over to buy you one.

00:08:27I'm the winner.

00:08:28All right, I'll have a gin, Ricky.

00:08:29What do you have?

00:08:32Thanks, a large glass of water.

00:08:41Lovely spring weather we're having, isn't it?

00:08:44Mm-hmm.

00:08:46Who are you?

00:08:49Why?

00:08:50Well, as a kid, I was always taught to say thank you, Miss So-and-So, or Mr. So-and-So.

00:08:55Oh, all right.

00:08:56My name's Rita Wilson.

00:08:58Want to make something out of it?

00:08:59I certainly do.

00:09:04Oh, Rita.

00:09:06Did you forget that we were supposed to check in at Harry's party?

00:09:09I've been looking all over the place for you.

00:09:11Oh, that's too bad, Bill.

00:09:13But this is a distant relative of mine.

00:09:15Oh, is that so?

00:09:17Well, I didn't notice anything like that at the roulette table.

00:09:20That's just it.

00:09:21We haven't spoken to each other for years.

00:09:23His, uh, his branch of the family doesn't approve of me.

00:09:26So, uh, we're going to dance while I give her some messages from Duluth.

00:09:30Uh, I thought you came from Des Moines.

00:09:32Oh, I do, I do.

00:09:33But the Claiborne branch of the Wilson family comes from Duluth.

00:09:36You know, your, uh, your Aunt Mary's the mother of twins, and, uh, one of them looks like you.

00:09:41And they're scared to death.

00:09:42Oh, no.

00:09:43Oh, no.

00:09:43I heard them call you Claiborne.

00:09:50Yeah.

00:09:51Fish eyes calling me a lot of things.

00:09:53Related to Dr. Claiborne?

00:09:55Uh, well, there are two Dr. Claibors.

00:09:57My father and my brother.

00:09:58I'm related to both of them.

00:09:59Your father has my appendix.

00:10:01Well, some people have all the luck.

00:10:03Hey, not so tight.

00:10:04Not so tight.

00:10:05What about all the neighbors?

00:10:06Neighbors?

00:10:08No, no, no.

00:10:08We're all alone.

00:10:09There hasn't been anyone but you all evening.

00:10:11If you say everything all at once, what'll you do tomorrow and the day after?

00:10:15Who said my luck would pay us?

00:10:20Bigger than Duluth.

00:10:21Isn't it, cousin?

00:10:22Mm-hmm.

00:10:22Brighter than Des Moines.

00:10:25Yeah, kind of tough to say goodbye to all this.

00:10:27Oh, you can't.

00:10:28You can't shake off New York.

00:10:30It'll follow you around the world like a dog.

00:10:32A woman.

00:10:34Oh.

00:10:35Burned child, huh?

00:10:37Yeah, my fingers are ashes.

00:10:40Now, don't tell me I'm getting warm again.

00:10:42Oh, no, no.

00:10:43You're safe with me, Mort.

00:10:45I'm just a neon sign.

00:10:47But you didn't tell me where you were going.

00:10:49Jungle.

00:10:49Got a day with a bug.

00:10:51What's that?

00:10:52With a what?

00:10:54Well, it's like this.

00:10:55Down there, a thousand or a million miles or something, there's a little bug.

00:11:00A killer.

00:11:00Oh, I see.

00:11:01Public insect number one.

00:11:03No, on the left one.

00:11:03I'm leaving around the first of June.

00:11:05Scientific expedition.

00:11:06Oh, forget it.

00:11:07You're not a scientist.

00:11:08They have whiskers down to here.

00:11:10That's why they disguised me as a playboy, the fool of germs.

00:11:13Oh.

00:11:14Kind of had me fooled, too, for a minute.

00:11:16Uh, you know, you're a very attractive girl, Miss Wilson?

00:11:26Oh, all right, I confess.

00:11:29Somebody would have told you sooner or later, anyway.

00:11:33Look, uh, is this party that we're not exactly at awfully important to you?

00:11:38Well, I mean, couldn't we play hooky and sort of see how you...

00:11:40Well, uh, are you going to be risking your life in that jungle?

00:11:46Oh, absolutely.

00:11:47I'll be dying like flies.

00:11:49Then it's my patriotic duty.

00:11:54Let's go.

00:11:59Yeah, yeah.

00:12:01Won't do.

00:12:01Don't like your profile.

00:12:03Oh, your full face.

00:12:04I, you know, I always get serious about noses like yours.

00:12:08It takes two to get serious, cousin.

00:12:09Well, I, uh, I wish you had a wooden leg or something.

00:12:15You know, I'd hope to leave this condo with a clear mind.

00:12:18Oh, I don't go for sentimental hangovers myself, big boy.

00:12:23I've got a career, too.

00:12:27And we fall in love, really fall in love

00:12:33While the night is beautiful

00:12:35While every woman is so wonderful

00:12:38Love is all

00:12:40That we fall

00:12:41Ten or eleven million people stewing at our feet

00:12:43Another hundred in there

00:12:44And only two of us know that it's a big joke

00:12:46Whoa!

00:12:56Okay.

00:12:57Thanks.

00:12:57There you are.

00:13:02Cover the waterfront.

00:13:08Good time, Rita?

00:13:30Yeah, me better.

00:13:30What do you say if I come in and cook some breakfast, huh?

00:13:32Well, our breakfast, we had it at Giuseppe's

00:13:34The Dutch Miller, Kitty Cat, and Polina's.

00:13:36Well, come on.

00:13:37Let's sit down and watch the rest of the world go by.

00:13:39You know, Rita, you're a lot of fun.

00:13:41You take a circus, you mix it with Monte Carlo,

00:13:44You sprinkle it with Coney Island,

00:13:45And you season it with the Moonlight of Venice,

00:13:47And it spells R-I-T-A.

00:13:49Months from now, when you've forgotten my name,

00:13:50I'll write that to you on a postcard.

00:13:52Ten days yet.

00:13:54Ten more days of glorious insomnia.

00:13:56We could collect a lot of hats in ten days.

00:13:59Mm-hmm.

00:14:00By the way, doesn't that little trick of yours

00:14:02Ever land you in the Hoos girl?

00:14:03No, I just can't seem to resist collecting hats.

00:14:09That isn't the only thing you collect, is it, Chris?

00:14:15I crown you Queen of the May.

00:14:20Well, I guess I better be going.

00:14:24What's your hurry?

00:14:25Work at nine o'clock.

00:14:26What do they do to you if you don't show up?

00:14:27What do you do with a gun?

00:14:29I scramble eggs like nobody's business.

00:14:31With a gun?

00:14:32No, with a stove, you idiot.

00:14:33All right.

00:14:34You go home and practice and phone me tonight at seven.

00:14:36Well, look, you've got to have lunch somewhere.

00:14:38How about with me?

00:14:39One o'clock at Harvard.

00:14:40Of course, you know, I could sort of sit around on these steps here

00:14:42Until a quarter of nine and see if you've got the store all right.

00:14:44Good night, you loon.

00:14:45Wait a minute, haven't you forgotten something?

00:14:48Haven't you forgotten something?

00:14:51Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, I did think so.

00:14:53It's much better that way, isn't it?

00:14:54Good night, Chris.

00:14:56THE END

00:15:26THE END

00:15:566, 7

00:15:57Good Lord, my boat leaves in less than 24

00:16:00Did you ever know 10 days to go so quickly?

00:16:05Sure, once when I had the measles

00:16:06Oh, flatter

00:16:07Did you have a light case?

00:16:08I have a light case of everything

00:16:10Low susceptibility and quick recovery

00:16:13Oh, I see

00:16:14No bad after effects

00:16:15In a couple of days, I'll be just a memory

00:16:17What will you remember, Rita?

00:16:21Oh, I'll remember a lovely crazy interlude

00:16:24All tied up with bus rides and laughs

00:16:26Lots of fool talk and

00:16:28Sometimes no talk at all

00:16:30I'll remember hitches in milk wagons

00:16:33Throwing stones in the Hudson River

00:16:34Changing hats with a multitude

00:16:36You...

00:16:37You...

00:16:39You will leave me a couple of hats, won't you, for my

00:16:44Memory book?

00:16:48I'll remember all that

00:16:49And a lot more, too

00:16:51Beautiful gay smile and...

00:16:55Some bright, shiny tears

00:16:58That's a lie

00:16:59I forbid you to remember that

00:17:01Hey, where do you think you're going?

00:17:03You know, it's five hours since we had dinner

00:17:05I'm starved

00:17:06I'm gonna clean up a bit

00:17:07That's what I like about you

00:17:08So soft, so sentimental

00:17:10Here it is, my last night

00:17:12And all you can think about is your stomach

00:17:25Well, it's been pretty nice, hasn't it, kid?

00:17:34What?

00:17:35Oh, yes, lovely

00:17:36Not a bit of rain

00:17:37Us, I mean stupid

00:17:38Not the weather

00:17:39You know

00:17:40I really think I'm gonna miss you

00:17:43No

00:17:43Yeah

00:17:44Now I know I will

00:17:48You know, I can't bear to think about tomorrow

00:17:52No such thing as tomorrow

00:17:53Don't you remember?

00:17:54Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah

00:17:55No sentimental hangovers

00:17:57Careers come first

00:17:58And only

00:18:00Only two people knew it was a joke

00:18:04What's the matter, darling?

00:18:14I don't know

00:18:15I...

00:18:17I just can't snap my fingers anymore

00:18:20Lisa, you're not losing your sense of humor, are you?

00:18:23Oh, me?

00:18:24No, I can hardly wait until tomorrow

00:18:26The whole new batch are by you

00:18:28You don't need to rub it in

00:18:30What difference can I make to you

00:18:31Finding your old bugs in the junk?

00:18:33No difference at all

00:18:34Not the slightest, minutest, most infinitesimal difference

00:18:37Well, I guess I'll get with it

00:18:49Yeah, that's a good idea

00:18:51Oh, darling

00:19:04We never expected an ending like this, did we, dear?

00:19:07There will be any kind of ending now

00:19:08I never dreamed

00:19:09Neither did I

00:19:10When did you first...

00:19:11Oh, way back in the milk wagon, I guess

00:19:13Oh, darling

00:19:13If we'd gone on laughing and playing and kidding with each other another minute, I...

00:19:18If you'd sail tomorrow, I...

00:19:19If I'd sail tomorrow?

00:19:22Well, you're not...

00:19:23Well, how can I possibly give it up?

00:19:27Oh, that's right

00:19:27I forgot this was all a joke

00:19:31Come on, let's, uh...

00:19:35Look up those feedbacks

00:19:37Come on, Rita, listen

00:19:37Oh, listen to what?

00:19:40You can laugh if you want to afterwards, Chris, but...

00:19:44But just once...

00:19:46Just once in a lifetime

00:19:49Two people meet who completely and hopelessly belong to each other

00:19:53Sometimes they don't admit it until it's too late

00:19:58They don't fight hard enough to stay together

00:20:02Oh, I guess it's pretty funny

00:20:10Me expecting to be taken seriously by a Claiborne

00:20:14Delusions of grandeur, old girl

00:20:17Why, you couldn't have made tourists third on their old Mayflower

00:20:23Now, look here

00:20:25In the first place, the Claibornes didn't come over on the Mayflower

00:20:28They came over two boats earlier

00:20:30In the second place

00:20:31If I don't go on that expedition tomorrow, I'm washed up

00:20:34No career and a yellow label

00:20:35And in the second place...

00:20:37Third

00:20:37All right, third, fourth, and nineteenth place

00:20:40Compared to a mere woman, you know what my career amounts to?

00:20:42Do you?

00:20:45Not that

00:20:46Oh, darling

00:20:50You...

00:20:51You mean I've...

00:20:53I've beaten the bugs?

00:20:55You've wiped them out

00:20:56Miss Wilson

00:21:00I love you

00:21:03Professor Claiborne

00:21:04I adore you

00:21:06Come on

00:21:07Where are we going?

00:21:09Home

00:21:10To break the news

00:21:11Taxi

00:21:15Yes, sir

00:21:16Let me take a mic up and wait for them

00:21:18Say, what's the orders from the big shop?

00:21:22Here you want, sir

00:21:2385th Street, 34 easy

00:21:28Right

00:21:29Hey, I don't want us out here

00:21:42The boss wants to see you

00:21:43I haven't got any day with Fish Eye

00:21:45Why don't you bring me here?

00:21:46Water, sir

00:21:47I'm a son of a gun

00:21:48Now I want to see Fish Eye

00:21:49Come on

00:21:50Howdy

00:21:55How are you?

00:21:56Do you think I'd stand for being pulled in like this?

00:21:58Hold your horses, kid

00:21:59You blow my head off, huh?

00:22:02A couple of weeks ago you said something about a check

00:22:04My check for five grand?

00:22:07That's all I want

00:22:08You got all the dough I had

00:22:10It was your idea to keep on extending credit

00:22:11Well, I'm overboard

00:22:12It'll take me some time to get it

00:22:13You got no kick

00:22:15All right, you'll get it every nickel

00:22:16Yeah

00:22:17You're leaving this neck of the woods for the jungle

00:22:19Sailing tomorrow afternoon

00:22:21And no insurance company would bet a nickel you'd ever come back

00:22:25Something's changed my mind about going

00:22:27Oh, quit stalling

00:22:28You think I'm lying, huh?

00:22:29Who is it, will you?

00:22:30I got a business to run

00:22:31You're a funny kind of rat, Fish Eye

00:22:36I'll get busy for the jack to make that good

00:22:40Yeah, sure

00:22:41I'll come back

00:22:42Mr. Claiborne, gentlemen

00:22:53I won't bother you with names

00:22:55What goes on here, Fish Eye?

00:22:56Why, these gentlemen saw me cash a check for five grand

00:23:00That's ten years, if anything is wrong with it

00:23:03Ten years, no fooling

00:23:05Are you dirty?

00:23:07Why, I treat my guests right

00:23:09Takes a bow to cash a check like that

00:23:11How long do I get?

00:23:13Bank closes at 3 p.m. tomorrow

00:23:15You won't get away with this, Fish Eye

00:23:18Three o'clock or ten years

00:23:21And that's that

00:23:23And that's that

00:23:26What's the matter?

00:23:34Ah, check

00:23:35If I don't dig up $5,000 by tomorrow

00:23:40I spend ten years turning boulders into little pebbles

00:23:43Come on, let's get out of here

00:23:47Now, just don't worry, Tom will help us

00:23:53Really?

00:23:54Must be some brother

00:23:55All wool in the yard, why?

00:23:57Never makes a mistake

00:23:57You know what I kind of mean?

00:23:59Yeah, they scare me to death

00:24:00Chris, Chris!

00:24:06Yeah?

00:24:06Hold my hand

00:24:07What's the matter?

00:24:08What are you scared about?

00:24:10I don't know

00:24:10Well, this is the family stamping grounds

00:24:17Gee, it's so quiet you can hear it

00:24:19Some of the family?

00:24:21Yeah, that's an early Claiborne over there

00:24:23Your mother?

00:24:25Uh-huh

00:24:25She's grand

00:24:26It's the only memory I have of her

00:24:28She died when I was very young

00:24:30That was a great old guy over there

00:24:33He sailed a whaler out of New Bedford

00:24:35Tough old bird

00:24:35He had a wooden leg and a glass eye

00:24:37Which is the glass eye?

00:24:39The one on the right?

00:24:40Yeah, how'd you know?

00:24:41Oh, I don't know

00:24:41It has a kinder expression than the real one

00:24:43She's lovely

00:24:45Well, now, you just sit down here

00:24:48I'm going to leave you for a few minutes

00:24:49Too bad I didn't bring my knitting

00:24:50Golly, this place just reeks of 1936

00:24:54No wonder you go places

00:24:55You want to be all right now?

00:24:57Oh, sure

00:24:57They're in bed, huh?

00:25:00Yeah, well, Tom always turns in early

00:25:01And so does Dad when he gets a chance

00:25:03Well, I'll be seeing you

00:25:04Don't you think you ought to wait until morning to tell them?

00:25:07I mean, about me

00:25:08No, I won't disturb Dad

00:25:10But you've got to meet Tom tonight

00:25:11Go ahead, Chris

00:25:13Oh, Chris!

00:25:14Yeah

00:25:15Nothing

00:25:18I keep babbling because I'm afraid to let you out of my sight

00:25:21Go ahead, make the world safe for democracy

00:25:24I'll think about you when I go over the top

00:25:26Is that you, Dad?

00:25:27Hospital wants you

00:25:28No, it's me

00:25:29I'll be right up

00:25:30You remember me, don't you?

00:25:35I'm your brother

00:25:35Where's Dad?

00:25:36Not on an emergency

00:25:37I might have known there was a woman back in this

00:25:57Haven't seen hiding her hair of you for ten days

00:26:00Who is she?

00:26:01She's great

00:26:03Look, did you ever meet a girl who makes you feel as if the moon had just shot over the mountaintops?

00:26:11Who is she this time?

00:26:13You wouldn't know her

00:26:14How long were you?

00:26:15Oh, about two weeks

00:26:16Ten days to be exact

00:26:18Where'd you meet her?

00:26:19Crystal Club

00:26:19Some girl you picked up in a gambling house

00:26:22Cut that out, Tom

00:26:23What'd she do for a living?

00:26:25Model's clothes

00:26:26Nice figure, huh?

00:26:28How would you like it if I talked that way about Mary?

00:26:31Now, listen, kid

00:26:32Mary and I have been knocking around together since we were in high school

00:26:35She expects very little

00:26:37I don't even have a chance to see much of her, but I know she's there

00:26:41Always in the background

00:26:43Something I'm working for

00:26:44Not very romantic, perhaps

00:26:47But it's the kind of anchorage that doesn't pull loose with the first heavy gust of wind

00:26:51Well, don't get the wrong slant about Rita

00:26:52Come on downstairs and meet her, huh?

00:26:56You brought her to this house?

00:26:58Yeah

00:26:59That shows you how much I think of her

00:27:01We're getting married tomorrow

00:27:04Nice going

00:27:06You're going to ask this girl to throw over the high spots and spend a honeymoon in a fever-infested jungle

00:27:12Swell break for her

00:27:13I'm not going, Tom

00:27:15You're not what?

00:27:16I'm not going

00:27:17Now, easy, kid

00:27:19Nobody blames you for going haywire over a girl for a few days

00:27:22You've got a tough assignment ahead of you

00:27:24But when you talk of quitting

00:27:26Throwing away the chance to make a career for yourself

00:27:28You're going on that boat tomorrow if I have to nail you to the mast

00:27:32This gambler wouldn't let you leave town, huh?

00:27:39Right

00:27:39If you stay, you'll pull you in anyway

00:27:41Of course, I might go to Dad

00:27:43No, you don't

00:27:43You know he's snowed under

00:27:44Oh, I know

00:27:46Oh, what right had you to gamble for that kind of dog?

00:27:49None, none, I know

00:27:50I feel like something you'd dig up under a rock

00:27:52Oh, well

00:27:53Maybe I can dig it up for you, kid

00:27:54No, I told her you'd help us

00:27:57She doesn't enter into this

00:27:59If I raise the money, it's on the one condition that you leave tomorrow

00:28:02Nothing doing

00:28:03But if she's the right kind of girl, she'll want you to go

00:28:05You don't think we're in love, do you?

00:28:07Of course not

00:28:07A couple of weeks whirlwind, dust in your eyes

00:28:10If it is the real thing, she'll wait

00:28:12But two years for the money

00:28:13You don't care if it's 200

00:28:14You're to yourself

00:28:16You're to us to play the game according to rules

00:28:18Now let's go down and talk to this lady

00:28:21If she is or maybe, it'll be okay

00:28:22Now, wait a minute

00:28:23Don't try to stampede me into this thing, will you?

00:28:26All right, stay and marry her

00:28:27Dad won't let you go to jail

00:28:28Let him squeeze another mortgage on the hospital

00:28:30Give up your job

00:28:30Play around and have fun

00:28:31The old man will pay the piper

00:28:33I wish you weren't always so darn right

00:28:36Come on, let's talk to the lady

00:28:43My brother Tom

00:28:51Good evening, or good morning

00:28:54How do you do, Miss?

00:28:56I'm afraid he's a little remiss about names

00:28:58Maybe he's forgotten mine

00:29:00It's Wilson, Rita Wilson

00:29:01At the moment

00:29:03I'm sorry we kept you waiting so long, Rita

00:29:06Oh, that's all right

00:29:07I'm afraid I owe you an apology about my get-up

00:29:09Well, it is a little late, but it suits you

00:29:11Tom's going to try to help out

00:29:14You said he would

00:29:16I guess I'm a bit of a shock to you, huh?

00:29:19Well, no, not at all

00:29:21A cigarette, will you?

00:29:25No, thanks

00:29:26Um

00:29:28Wouldn't we all feel a lot more chummy

00:29:32If you both sat down?

00:29:34Listen to me

00:29:35Anybody would think I lived here

00:29:37I suppose

00:29:40Miss Wilson, Chris has told you about our

00:29:42Financial status

00:29:44And the opportunity he has to advance himself professionally

00:29:47Of course, why?

00:29:49Well, you see, Rita

00:29:50What's the matter with the lights in here?

00:29:53It's a little depressing, isn't it?

00:29:57Hmm

00:29:57And getting a little cold, isn't it?

00:30:02How about some coffee, Rita?

00:30:04No

00:30:04I guess I can take it on an empty stomach

00:30:07You're going tomorrow, aren't you?

00:30:12Yes

00:30:13Well, that's all I was waiting for

00:30:19I had to know

00:30:21Well, not so fast, Rita

00:30:22We want you to understand the situation

00:30:24I think I do

00:30:25It wasn't easy for me to make this decision

00:30:28No, Brother Tom helped you, didn't he?

00:30:30I tried

00:30:30It's a very important step in his life

00:30:33What about my life?

00:30:34He has definite obligations

00:30:35Is your brother lending you the money for fisheye?

00:30:38Is that the hammer over your head?

00:30:39Let me answer that

00:30:40I may not be able to raise the money

00:30:42In which case, Chris's career will be completely shot

00:30:45But if I do, it will be on the one condition that he leaves tomorrow

00:30:49Was all this rehearsed upstairs?

00:30:51Don't talk like that, Rita

00:30:51Tom's only trying to help me over a tough spot

00:30:54Meaning me?

00:30:55Now, listen, darling

00:30:56When I come back

00:30:57When you come back

00:30:58That makes Brother Tom laugh, doesn't it?

00:31:03When you come back

00:31:04In a couple of days, you'll be saying

00:31:07Too bad she fell on my neck

00:31:08Too bad she had no dignity

00:31:10Too bad she did a lot of things

00:31:12Rita, I know how you feel

00:31:14But I do wish you wouldn't jump to a lot of ridiculous conclusions

00:31:17Ridiculous is right

00:31:18I'd be crazy to waste any more time on this fake setup

00:31:21Now, listen

00:31:22I want to talk to you alone

00:31:24Let me take you home

00:31:25You're not taking me anyplace

00:31:26You're too good a talker

00:31:27And I'm too big a sap

00:31:28You win, brother

00:31:30You've saved the family honor

00:31:32You know as well as I do

00:31:34That the stray cat he brought home

00:31:35Has been heaved back over the fence

00:31:37Wait a minute

00:31:39You know perfectly well she's right

00:31:41I know perfectly well you're making a mess of things

00:31:43Rita, Rita

00:31:45Hey, Rita, wait a minute

00:31:50You can't go away like this

00:31:51Hi, Chris

00:32:00Who's the lassie?

00:32:04I'm sorry I wasn't home for dinner tonight, Dad

00:32:06Oh, that's all right

00:32:07It's been a long time since a young lady left this house so fast

00:32:11And so early

00:32:13Or so late

00:32:14Hello, Tom

00:32:15Now I know it's respectable

00:32:17Hospital was trying to reach you about an hour ago

00:32:20I know, I talked to them

00:32:21You know, it makes me a little bit sad to see these trunks

00:32:25But mighty proud

00:32:27I was reading about you in this paper

00:32:29Very exciting

00:32:30He doesn't think so

00:32:32Ten years from now he'll know what it means

00:32:34An assignment with Fahrenheit

00:32:36A chance to make your mark

00:32:38I'll go to bat this time

00:32:40That's the spirit

00:32:41Just remember that when I pass on

00:32:43There won't be a loose nickel for you to frolic with

00:32:45You're brilliant

00:32:47And an awful idiot

00:32:48But I love you

00:32:51Right back at you, sir

00:32:53It's mighty tiresome learning to be of service, isn't it?

00:32:56But once it gets under your skin, Chris

00:32:58Then you've really got something to live for

00:33:01Well, see you in the morning

00:33:03Good night

00:33:04We're pretty proud of our lad, aren't we, Tom?

00:33:07Oh, I wouldn't go quite that far

00:33:08Hey, hey, snap out of it

00:33:12The girl isn't worth a second thought, Chris

00:33:14Take it from me

00:33:15Now, listen, Tom

00:33:15I can't take it from you

00:33:16I can't take it from anybody

00:33:19You've done plenty for me tonight

00:33:25I'd like to say I'm grateful, but

00:33:27Somehow I wish I'd told you to go straight to the devil

00:33:31Good night

00:33:35Sit down

00:33:38I figured you'd come back sooner or later

00:33:42Is that proposition still hot?

00:33:43Sizzling

00:33:44Well, I'll, uh, I'll need an advance

00:33:46Sure

00:33:47Will a century help out?

00:33:48No, but five grand will

00:33:50You sure got a sense of humor?

00:33:53Well, I don't need it in cash

00:33:54You got a sucker's check with a name

00:33:56Claiborne scrawled across it

00:33:57What are you going to do with it?

00:33:58Put him behind the bars if he don't come across

00:34:00I'll take it in lieu of commission

00:34:01Now, listen

00:34:02I know you're a smart girl, all right

00:34:04But I wouldn't be talking business with you

00:34:06But don't try and get too smart

00:34:09If I were smart, I wouldn't be buying a bum check, would I?

00:34:11Well, I'll bring guys in this joint that you'll shake loose of more than that

00:34:15I'm not arguing about that

00:34:16But that check is a kind of a personal matter with me

00:34:19Kind of personal with you, too, I guess, eh, baby?

00:34:23You figure it out, I'm tired

00:34:24Is it a go?

00:34:26I'm always willing to take a little gamble

00:34:28Sure you are

00:34:29And the cards are stacked right

00:34:31Here it is, baby

00:34:38But you don't get it until you've worked at all

00:34:41Okay

00:34:41I'll start punching the clock tomorrow night

00:34:44Oh, by the way

00:34:45There'll be a man around to see you in the morning

00:34:48A bird that leans way backwards with a holier-than-thou attitude

00:34:51That's the brother, you can't miss him

00:34:53He's got little wings sprouting out of his shoulder blades

00:34:56He'll try and make a deal with you

00:34:58Just tell him it's paid

00:34:59No names mentioned, no post-mortems

00:35:02Just that it's paid, get me?

00:35:04Yeah

00:35:04I get you

00:35:06Plenty

00:35:07Here he does

00:35:08What surprises me is why a swell-looking girl like you always falls for a piker

00:35:14You said it

00:35:16But I'm the kind of a gal who

00:35:20Well

00:35:22Who makes him feel as if the moon had just shot over the mountaintops

00:35:27The boss will be tied up for a while, Doctor

00:35:41He says to make yourself comfortable

00:35:43Thanks

00:35:43Good evening, Dr. Claiborne

00:35:48Remember me?

00:35:50Yes, I remember you

00:35:51Of course

00:35:51Don't get up

00:35:52I work here

00:35:53Oh, I beg your pardon

00:35:54I was rather surprised

00:35:56Wouldn't you like something to drink?

00:35:57No, thank you

00:35:58Mind if I sit down?

00:36:00Well, please do

00:36:01I have

00:36:02Have you heard from Chris?

00:36:07Yes

00:36:07Have you?

00:36:08Of course not

00:36:09We said bon voyage and adios at the house that night

00:36:11Oh, it's better that way

00:36:13Much better

00:36:13How did you know Chris and I were kidding ourselves?

00:36:16You did know

00:36:17You were just as sure then as you are now

00:36:20Well, it's only horse sense, isn't it?

00:36:23Doesn't it make you squirm sometimes to see people make such awful fools of themselves?

00:36:27Why discuss it?

00:36:28Well, I'm glad you know I didn't mean Chris any harm

00:36:32But it was New York and spring and that always does something to me

00:36:37Do you know you're an entirely different girl tonight?

00:36:40Not a trace of the neurotic?

00:36:43Chris was very fortunate to be able to spend the last few days with you before he went into the wilderness

00:36:47Thank you

00:36:48I think he was even more fortunate to have you help him out of that financial jam

00:36:52You know, a rather strange thing happened about that

00:36:55Tell me about it

00:36:56When I came here the next morning

00:36:58The proprietor told me that Chris's debt had been settled

00:37:00No other explanation

00:37:02I was rather mystified

00:37:04But very pleased

00:37:06Because I'd only been able to raise $2,500

00:37:07And I was going to have to ask him to accept my note for the rest

00:37:10He, uh

00:37:10He didn't give you the check, did he?

00:37:13No, he didn't

00:37:14That's why I'm here tonight

00:37:15I've phoned several times

00:37:16It worries me

00:37:16Oh, well, I don't want you to worry, Dr. Claiborne

00:37:19But that check will never be used against Chris

00:37:22Promise not to misunderstand if I explain something

00:37:25Yes, I think so

00:37:27Well, you see, I like Chris

00:37:29Oh, nothing serious, but he was fun

00:37:31Maybe I thought I was in love with him

00:37:34Anyhow, that doesn't matter

00:37:35You made me realize how his career depended upon that expedition

00:37:40I, uh

00:37:43I had a little money

00:37:44My grandmother left me

00:37:46I came around here that night

00:37:49And settled with Fisheye

00:37:50Was that a very underhanded thing to do, Dr. Claiborne?

00:37:55Underhanded?

00:37:56Why, it was most generous

00:37:57Of course, you'll be repaid just as soon as I can possibly

00:38:00Oh, I don't need it

00:38:02There's no hurry

00:38:02Here's to Chris

00:38:06No

00:38:07No, here's to you

00:38:10I'm afraid I owe you a very humble apology

00:38:13No, you don't

00:38:14You owe me a dance

00:38:15It'll be a pleasure

00:38:17It must take a lot of idlers to support a fool's paradise like this

00:38:35Life is just a straight road the way you see it, isn't it?

00:38:39Why not?

00:38:40Oh, I don't know

00:38:41I had a crazy idea

00:38:43It was like a river

00:38:44It goes winding around, trees hanging over it, quiet little pools

00:38:48And then sometimes it goes like the devil

00:38:50Listen to me telling you

00:38:53Couldn't you skip the hospital for one night?

00:38:56No, I'm afraid not

00:38:57Please stay

00:39:01It's grand to be with a man who doesn't know what you look like

00:39:03Or care if you're young or old

00:39:05You know, doctor

00:39:06A girl likes to think she doesn't mind

00:39:09You have a lot of character

00:39:10I'm sorry

00:39:12I'm afraid I dance atrociously

00:39:14Even Mary complains

00:39:15Mary?

00:39:17Here's my fiancée

00:39:18I don't get a chance to dance with you nowadays

00:39:20I'd never know

00:39:22You know, Rita

00:39:24I'm not sure that I don't know what you look like

00:39:27Thank you for the compliment

00:39:29And don't worry, I know you don't mean it

00:39:31My dear father always used to say to me

00:39:33It's much better to be good friends with one strong man

00:39:36Than to go stumbling around with a lot of galoots

00:39:38There's a mail!

00:39:53There's a mail!

00:39:57Hey!

00:39:59Hey!

00:40:00Oh, boy!

00:40:03Come on, come on

00:40:04Get in for that

00:40:05Oh, I gotta have one

00:40:07This time, Charlie

00:40:08Come on

00:40:08Charlie, I know

00:40:09Don't be so smart

00:40:10I know I have three

00:40:12Come on, snap in

00:40:13Don't hurry up

00:40:13I know I got two more in there

00:40:19Come on, get down

00:40:20Come on, get down

00:40:20Hurry up, will you?

00:40:21Sam

00:40:37Heat

00:40:45Stink

00:40:47Failure

00:40:49Last week

00:40:51And the week before

00:40:51And before

00:40:52And before

00:40:53My leap of failure

00:40:54Is the only road to success

00:40:56Well, you can fail just as well

00:40:58Where you can put on a clean shirt

00:40:59And go out and get a drink, can't you?

00:41:00Blizzards are still raging

00:41:01Throughout the Middle West

00:41:02Overnight, six inches of snow

00:41:04Fell on New York

00:41:04Blizzards in New York

00:41:07And 130 degrees here

00:41:09Aren't we lucky?

00:41:12Yeah, Pop

00:41:13You gotta take yourself mighty seriously

00:41:17To stay buried alive

00:41:18In a place like this

00:41:19For a fantastic theory

00:41:20That some bug

00:41:21Some particular kind of tick

00:41:23Is holding back the millennium

00:41:24Yeah, but we are getting closer

00:41:26Immer closer

00:41:27Meet every failure

00:41:28You stumble in the dark

00:41:29It makes you feel your way

00:41:31And that's what we are doing

00:41:33Process of elimination

00:41:34Okay, Pop

00:41:36Process of elimination

00:41:37There were seven of us

00:41:39When we came down here

00:41:39Now there are five

00:41:40The process is sure fire

00:41:43Chris, you aren't getting scared

00:41:45Are you?

00:41:48Hey, I didn't say

00:41:50Don't look at me

00:41:50Chris

00:41:51What have you in mind to do?

00:41:55I came a long way

00:41:56For this tick fantasy

00:41:57And I never believed in it

00:41:58I never said I did

00:41:59Wait a minute, Chris

00:42:01We made a hundred tries

00:42:02On a hundred natives

00:42:03And eighty percent of them

00:42:04Are dead

00:42:04The guinea pigs live

00:42:06And the natives die

00:42:06What a bunch of scientists

00:42:08We are

00:42:09She says her husband died

00:42:17Fever

00:42:17The child is sick

00:42:18Please save her

00:42:19Get out of the way

00:42:20Here we go

00:42:23Where are we going?

00:42:42Pretty swell, isn't it?

00:42:58Yeah, we've cured a baby with a bellyache.

00:43:00That's great work.

00:43:01Science is marvelous, but I'm sick of it.

00:43:05There's a boat going north.

00:43:07There's a boat going north, and I've just got time to make it.

00:43:11Who is she, Chris?

00:43:13You know you can't fool me so easy.

00:43:17There's no use lying to you, is there, Pop?

00:43:19All right, I won't. I'm packing.

00:43:21If anybody here wants to call it quitting, say it after I've gone, because I won't take it.

00:43:26Every time that mail comes in, you guys have got something to look forward to, but I haven't.

00:43:30There's somebody that I've got to have a look at, even if it's only a short squint.

00:43:34That's why I'm taking that boat.

00:43:36And when I come back, if you're still alive, I'll tell you again that I think you're crazy as a loon.

00:43:41Well, so long, pals. Cheer up. We're not failures.

00:43:45Now, the miracle of the baby with a colic will keep the natives shouting hosannas till I see you again.

00:43:50What is it, Miss Spencer?

00:43:55Oh, they're preparing the patient for number seven, doctor.

00:43:58All right, let me know as soon as you're ready.

00:43:59Yes, sir.

00:43:59Well?

00:44:09It isn't easy for me to say it.

00:44:11The board of directors asked for my resignation.

00:44:13I couldn't defend you.

00:44:14Why should you?

00:44:16Why didn't you let me chuck it all weeks ago?

00:44:18Because you're mentally sick, and I can't make a diagnosis without your help.

00:44:21We don't have to go into all that again, do we?

00:44:23Tom, it isn't like you. It isn't like any of the Claiborns to quit.

00:44:26Look what Chris is doing out there.

00:44:27Yeah? Look what Chris is doing.

00:44:29But don't you think you owe yourself something?

00:44:32Ours isn't an easy trade.

00:44:33It takes a lot of sweat and blood to write M.D. after your name.

00:44:36Well, some people like responsibility.

00:44:38I begged you to go away somewhere for a few months.

00:44:40A team of mules couldn't drag me out of New York.

00:44:42After a rest, you could come back here.

00:44:43Now, wait a minute.

00:44:45What would have happened to old Brooks if Dr. Peters hadn't come in the operating room just when he did?

00:44:49Now, listen to me.

00:44:50I'd have lost my patient, wouldn't I?

00:44:52I bungled it.

00:44:53Well, mine wasn't on my job.

00:44:55Well, it still isn't.

00:44:56What's the answer?

00:45:01It's the breaking of your engagement to Mary that's at the back of all this.

00:45:04Merry Christmas!

00:45:06How are you, Ted?

00:45:07You old Brooks.

00:45:07It's real.

00:45:08I'm glad to see you.

00:45:10How are you, anyway?

00:45:11Hello, Tom.

00:45:12Turn around here.

00:45:12Let me look at you.

00:45:13What's the matter with you?

00:45:14You old rat.

00:45:20Hey, hey, hey, hey.

00:45:22What's the matter with you guys here?

00:45:25Say, if ever I saw two fellas who needed a cheery word, you'll look it.

00:45:29Now, wait a minute.

00:45:29If these sour looks are for me, you're all wrong.

00:45:31I'm on a definite leave of absence from Dr. Fahrenheit.

00:45:34You know, I thought it'd be a grand idea.

00:45:39Well, if the Claiborne's forgot about humanity for a week or so and said, said, hello, hi-ho,

00:45:46cheerio, and Merry Christmas.

00:45:47Well, I'm glad to see you, Chris.

00:45:49Well, what's the matter with you?

00:45:55What's wrong with Tom over here?

00:45:56Well, maybe he'll tell you.

00:45:58But whatever the trouble is, he hasn't given me his confidence or Merry.

00:46:01All right.

00:46:02There's another woman.

00:46:03Does that satisfy you?

00:46:04You're in love with her?

00:46:05Yes, sir.

00:46:06Do you think she's worth all this?

00:46:09No.

00:46:10Tom, decent women don't wreck us.

00:46:13Do you want to tell us who she is?

00:46:16She's my wife.

00:46:16Dr. Claiborne Sr. wanted an operating room number seven.

00:46:20Talk to him, Chris.

00:46:21He needs us.

00:46:22Dr. Claiborne Sr. wanted an operating room number seven.

00:46:33It may interest you to know that they're not using the word junior around this hospital anymore.

00:46:41Come on, old man.

00:46:43What's all this about?

00:46:44About something that doesn't concern you any longer.

00:46:49What the devil are you talking about?

00:46:50You say that you're married and it isn't to marry.

00:46:52Who is she?

00:46:55She makes you think the moon had suddenly shot up over the mountain, cops.

00:46:59What are you talking about?

00:47:02You don't remember ever saying that, huh?

00:47:04I said that the moon had...

00:47:06You don't mean...

00:47:09Bright boy.

00:47:12Rita?

00:47:13You're married to Rita?

00:47:14Yeah.

00:47:16But it wasn't the moon.

00:47:19More like thunder and lightning.

00:47:21Why did that girl marry you?

00:47:23Why did she do it?

00:47:24To get even with the Claiborne tribe.

00:47:27But you...

00:47:28I fell in love with her.

00:47:28I'm still in love with her.

00:47:29Head over heels.

00:47:32Now she's my business.

00:47:34We keep out of this.

00:47:36Where is she?

00:47:38Jim Buck, too, as far as I'm concerned.

00:47:41And once no part of me since the night we rotted out a minister in Greenwich.

00:47:44She laughed all the way home in the taxi.

00:47:49I'll never forget that laugh.

00:47:52The way she looked at me when I tried to put my arms around it.

00:47:57She kept looking at me.

00:47:59When we hit Central Park, she stopped the taxi.

00:48:03Goodbye, she said.

00:48:03I'm getting out of here.

00:48:05No other explanation?

00:48:07No, yes.

00:48:07It seems she was a little tight when she married me.

00:48:09I...

00:48:09I was cold sober.

00:48:13Then?

00:48:14Haven't been since.

00:48:16Divorce her.

00:48:17Oh, she's in my blood.

00:48:20The one satisfaction I have is she's my wife.

00:48:25I warn you, Chris, you keep out of this.

00:48:27You can't do me any good.

00:48:29Look, old man.

00:48:30What chance do you think you have with a girl like that?

00:48:32I know Rita.

00:48:34Well, I know her now, at any rate.

00:48:36Well, here's one thing you don't know.

00:48:38Five thousand dollars to Fisheye, remember that?

00:48:41She paid it.

00:48:42Her money kept you out of jail.

00:48:44She paid my debt?

00:48:45Why did she do that?

00:48:46Why?

00:48:49She was in love with you.

00:48:50Where do you think a girl like Rita gets that kind of money?

00:48:52Did you ever stop to figure that out?

00:48:53No.

00:48:54Well, she did.

00:48:54That kind of money kept the Claiborns out of hock.

00:48:56So she thought she could buy me, huh?

00:49:00And her money served another purpose, didn't it?

00:49:02It won your confidence.

00:49:04Now, look, Tom, a thing like this can drag you way under.

00:49:07You're too loyal, too decent to even realize the kind of gutter you're walking in.

00:49:11It doesn't mean anything to her.

00:49:12She's just laughing at us.

00:49:15Well, maybe there's a way to stop that laugh.

00:49:19Well, how are all the little bugs?

00:49:41Fine.

00:49:42Only it seems that they're not all in the jungle.

00:49:44Could it be that you have a pretty dangerous one in your head, Rita?

00:49:47Why did you marry Tom?

00:49:50Strange world, isn't it?

00:49:52No.

00:49:53No, it's the people in it.

00:49:54Who would have thought Mrs. Claiborns would spend Christmas Eve with her brother-in-law?

00:49:58Proving that there is a Santa Claus.

00:49:59The night I changed my name to Claiborns, I wrote you the longest letter I've ever written in my life.

00:50:05I didn't get it.

00:50:06Oh, no, I tore it up.

00:50:08Oh, what a shame that such a literary masterpiece should be lost to the world.

00:50:11Oh, but it wasn't.

00:50:12I sent it to the museum marked, uh, contribution from a female architect.

00:50:16Meaning what?

00:50:17A designing woman.

00:50:21That's supposed to be funny, Chris.

00:50:22Why don't you laugh?

00:50:24You used to talk straight, Rita.

00:50:26Why did you marry Tom?

00:50:27No, because he was trying to save you from me, and I thought he might as well make a good job of it.

00:50:32Nobody can save me from you.

00:50:34What did you want to gain?

00:50:35Come on, let's have it straight.

00:50:37Because I saw Redden the chance to get even.

00:50:39It was all so easy.

00:50:40I didn't even care about that girl.

00:50:41I wanted to hurt her, hurt anything within striking distance.

00:50:44He took you away from me, and...

00:50:46Well, two can play that game.

00:50:50Too low down to understand, Chris.

00:50:53But if you hadn't played it so low, we'd have wound up together.

00:50:56A rough going, maybe, but sure as you live.

00:50:59Well, uh, there's one other little matter that I should thank you for.

00:51:04It's, uh, quite a new sensation for me, using a woman's money to pay my gambling debts.

00:51:09Pretty risky, wasn't it, Rita?

00:51:11Bad insurance.

00:51:13At the moment, my worldly possessions amount to exactly $711.

00:51:17Oh, quit it, Chris.

00:51:18And, uh, it's going to take me quite a while to pay you back the balance and nickels and dimes.

00:51:21Yeah, $711.

00:51:26$711.

00:51:28$711.

00:51:30Say, I got a hunch.

00:51:32I feel lucky.

00:51:33Oh, don't, Chris.

00:51:34You haven't a chance.

00:51:35I know.

00:51:35Now, come on.

00:51:36I want to see if I can't protect your investment.

00:51:38Shoot for $800.

00:51:40All right, here we go.

00:51:40If you don't like $6 and $5, make it a $2 and $5.

00:51:42There you are.

00:51:44Number seven.

00:51:45The gentleman wins.

00:51:46Same dice, if you don't mind.

00:51:47There's a C on one and a C on the other.

00:51:48One's for Chris, the other's for Claver.

00:51:50All right, let's shoot for $1,000.

00:51:51Keep going, Chris.

00:51:52Seems like it's your night to howl.

00:51:53Hear what the lady says?

00:51:54Let's go.

00:51:55Here we go.

00:51:55Get it again.

00:51:56Eleven.

00:51:57One again.

00:51:59Here we go.

00:52:01Rolling on.

00:52:02Hey.

00:52:07You're working for me, aren't you?

00:52:12Sure I am.

00:52:13Then get that mug over to the wheel.

00:52:15He won't play roulette.

00:52:16Likes dice better?

00:52:17See, he plays with these.

00:52:18Oh, I have a hard fish.

00:52:19You heard what I said.

00:52:20Don't make me cross that guy.

00:52:21Pick up them dice.

00:52:22Nothing doing.

00:52:23You figure I should pay a dividend just because you're mushy about a guy, huh?

00:52:26You'd rather see him behind bars than give him the cross, huh?

00:52:28Remember, he haven't finished working off that check yet.

00:52:31I can still slap down on him.

00:52:32You wouldn't do that.

00:52:33Wouldn't I?

00:52:34Get me, O'Hara.

00:52:35Oh, no, no.

00:52:35Hold the phone, man.

00:52:37Now pick up them dice.

00:52:38I'm watching those babies.

00:52:46They're pals of mine.

00:52:46Square on all corners.

00:52:49Right.

00:52:50Remember now, you're straight from Santa Claus.

00:52:52Straight from Santa Claus.

00:52:53We want a six and a five.

00:52:54Six and a five.

00:52:55Keep it going, Chris.

00:52:57Roll them while they're hot.

00:52:58Uh-huh.

00:52:59Straight from Santa Claus.

00:53:00A six and a five.

00:53:01How are you, Fisher?

00:53:03Shooting for 500.

00:53:04There we go.

00:53:05Eight.

00:53:07Eight's the point.

00:53:07Eight's if that's very easy.

00:53:09We'll show you how to do an eight a hard one.

00:53:10We've done it before.

00:53:11We'll do it again.

00:53:12Okay.

00:53:13Two little unnies.

00:53:13Two little pieces of dynamite.

00:53:15Let me roll them for you once.

00:53:16Oh, no, no.

00:53:17I'm in a streak.

00:53:17Eight's the point.

00:53:18You can do an eight.

00:53:18I just saw you do it.

00:53:19Whisper to me.

00:53:20Yes.

00:53:20These little babies are going to do an eight right back.

00:53:22There we go.

00:53:22What are we going to do?

00:53:23Eight right back.

00:53:25Please let me roll them.

00:53:26Just one.

00:53:27No, no, no.

00:53:27I'm sorry to refuse a lady, but...

00:53:29Uh, how much ahead would you say I am here?

00:53:32Oh, a little over 5,000.

00:53:34A little over 5,000.

00:53:35All right.

00:53:36All right.

00:53:36Go ahead and roll them.

00:53:37I got a cramp in the arm anyway.

00:53:39You'll only join before I'm finished with this roll.

00:53:41Put it on the line.

00:53:41We'll shoot for the 5,000.

00:53:43The lady is shooting 5,000.

00:53:45Just a moment, please.

00:53:48The lady on my left is shooting, uh...

00:53:51Dollar 25, 35.

00:53:52A dollar and 75 cents.

00:53:56And here they go.

00:53:59Well, the loser.

00:54:02How much is it there?

00:54:055,300.

00:54:06I'll pay off.

00:54:07Well, every sucker has one good hour coming to him, hasn't he, Pishai?

00:54:10Mm-hmm.

00:54:11What do you say if we three pals have a little drink, huh?

00:54:12Come on now.

00:54:13And I don't want no for an answer.

00:54:14Let's just put it in.

00:54:15Shoot.

00:54:19Did, uh...

00:54:20Did she tell you she changed her name to Claiborne?

00:54:22No.

00:54:24No?

00:54:24No.

00:54:25She didn't tell you she married my brother?

00:54:27Why, no.

00:54:28I don't.

00:54:28No?

00:54:29No.

00:54:30Oh, I see.

00:54:31Just a couple of gabby people, huh?

00:54:33Purely business hookup.

00:54:35Ha, ha, ha, ha.

00:54:40Well, there's your money, Rita.

00:54:42And thanks very much.

00:54:45What's the matter, Pishai?

00:54:45Something wrong with that drink?

00:54:47No, it's okay.

00:54:48Not a martini.

00:54:49But okay?

00:54:50One and a two.

00:54:51Craps again.

00:54:52Isn't it lucky that I stopped rolling them when I did?

00:54:55Yes, he didn't.

00:54:55No, no, wait a minute.

00:54:57I want to keep these as souvenirs.

00:54:58About a minute, boy.

00:54:59Okay.

00:55:00See you later.

00:55:01Is that old gag about not if I see you first?

00:55:07Having a good time, Rita?

00:55:11Less than a minute.

00:55:12Doesn't seem like Christmas, does it?

00:55:14It's all right with me.

00:55:25There's something about this I can't take.

00:55:28A moment like this in this joint?

00:55:29Can I go, too?

00:55:30Where?

00:55:31Any place you like.

00:55:40Chris.

00:55:40Hmm?

00:55:40Aren't you going to kiss me?

00:55:42You're my brother's wife, Rita.

00:55:43I wouldn't even hold your hand while that condition exists.

00:55:45But you want to, don't you?

00:55:47Oh, no.

00:55:47I came up here to see what kind of a hat you were wearing.

00:55:49I'm ashamed of what I did to Tom and that girl.

00:55:51Really ashamed.

00:55:53What are we going to do, Chris?

00:55:54Right around Central Park for a while.

00:55:56We can't do that for the rest of our lives.

00:55:59How long would it take me to get a divorce?

00:56:01A lifetime in this state.

00:56:02He won't give you any evidence, Rita.

00:56:04You could make him give me a divorce.

00:56:05Why should he?

00:56:06Leaving things as they are is a swell way to get even.

00:56:09When you do a low-down trick, it comes right back at you, doesn't it?

00:56:12You're just finding that out, huh?

00:56:15No time and plenty of distances.

00:56:18Your only remedy.

00:56:20Say, do you want to take a gamble?

00:56:22Sure, if you roll the dice.

00:56:23It's got to be played strictly to rules.

00:56:25You name them.

00:56:26All right, there's a fruit board leaving at 6 a.m.

00:56:28Can you make it?

00:56:32That's part of the rules.

00:56:33Are you hungry, Oscar?

00:56:42Here.

00:56:56Breakfast, my lord.

00:56:57Okay.

00:56:58Okay.

00:57:03Good morning, senor.

00:57:25Morning.

00:57:27Hear how Charlie is?

00:57:28Still unconscious.

00:57:29Pete's with him.

00:57:30You didn't go near that bunk room, did you?

00:57:32Oh, just for a little while.

00:57:33I tried to help out a bit.

00:57:35I told you not to.

00:57:36Oh, Chris, I'm not scared of spotted fever.

00:57:38You told me yourself a hundred times it doesn't spread by contact.

00:57:42Well, stay away from that.

00:57:43Quite a city, huh?

00:57:58Yeah.

00:58:00Looks like something that fell off the back end of a truck.

00:58:02I trust the senior will enjoy the breakfast I have prepared for him?

00:58:15I heard you slamming around the laboratory most of the night.

00:58:19Drink your coffee.

00:58:21That boat's due in today or tomorrow.

00:58:23I've been listening for the whistle.

00:58:25Go ahead and eat.

00:58:27You don't eat enough.

00:58:28You don't sleep enough.

00:58:29You smoke too much and you work too hard.

00:58:31Listen, you're not having very much fun, are you?

00:58:33Are you?

00:58:35All I know is I'm in the same place you are.

00:58:37I don't care very much how I got here as long as I'm here.

00:58:40Listen, can't we get along without all that till we're out in the clear?

00:58:43Okay.

00:58:46Why isn't every man a scientist?

00:58:49Do you know there's more romance in a laboratory among ticks and tubes than in all the nightclubs in Manhattan?

00:58:54There isn't anything more exciting than making nature open up a secret.

00:58:59And if I ever have a son, that's what he'll do too.

00:59:05Sit down.

00:59:06It's only a freighter.

00:59:07I saw it coming through the wreath this morning.

00:59:10You're driving yourself nuts.

00:59:12Eat your breakfast.

00:59:13Ah, coffee's all I need and I've got to get back to the laboratory.

00:59:15You know, I've had a crazy notion last week or so that Tom hated me so much he might not bother about a divorce.

00:59:23Well, isn't there any kind of a divorce you can get around here?

00:59:27They kill each other down here when they're no likely.

00:59:45You see what happens?

00:59:48Listen, Chris, if there's no news when the boat does come, then what?

00:59:56Let Pop sleep it out.

00:59:57He was up most of the night with Charlie.

01:00:06He hasn't moved since he left.

01:00:09Guess he's going out all right.

01:00:15Good morning, Pop.

01:00:20Good morning, Rita.

01:00:21Did you have a good sleep?

01:00:22Not a blink.

01:00:23One mosquito got underneath my net and I fight it all night.

01:00:27Only one.

01:00:29Do Chris go to work?

01:00:31Yes.

01:00:31Ah, I'm so tired.

01:00:32My starvation.

01:00:34You worked all night on poor Charlie, didn't you?

01:00:37I'd kiss you if you weren't so hungry.

01:00:39I'm sorry I'm so hungry.

01:00:41Why won't Chris let me help with Charlie?

01:00:43There are lots of things I could do.

01:00:46Nine, nine, Rita.

01:00:47Chris is right.

01:00:48But I thought nursing was a woman's job.

01:00:51Ah, but little Rita, this is different.

01:00:54Always I tell Chris you should not be here.

01:00:56Oh, if you love me, Pop, don't put that idea in his head.

01:00:59Another papaya?

01:01:02Nine, danke.

01:01:05He goes and gets you here.

01:01:07I think you make marriage and honeymoon, but no, you wait.

01:01:11Oh, you love him.

01:01:15You're a good cook.

01:01:16What more he wants?

01:01:19Well, there's still a little question of a paper from New York that'll say I'm free.

01:01:23I hope it comes soon.

01:01:25So do I.

01:01:26I have a hunch it'll be on this next boat.

01:01:30Clever wants you right away.

01:01:32Charlie's dying.

01:01:32No.

01:01:34No.

01:01:39His pulse is rapid and thready.

01:01:42Memory's in the skin.

01:01:43Make him more seizures present.

01:01:48Charlie.

01:01:50Charlie.

01:01:51Come on, try and tell us.

01:01:53Did you drink water that hadn't been boiled?

01:01:55No.

01:01:57Water.

01:01:57Ticks.

01:02:01Ticks.

01:02:03Ticks.

01:02:04That hallucination will go to the quay midolums.

01:02:08Typhus is spread by lice.

01:02:10Malaria by mosquitoes.

01:02:11Sleeping sickness by the tsetse fly.

01:02:14But spotted fever by what?

01:02:16Ticks.

01:02:19Ticks.

01:02:23Most merciful God.

01:02:24We who put our trust in thee, pray that thou wilt spare this man.

01:02:31He has sacrificed his health to the good of his fellow men.

01:02:35We ask thy mercy to restore it back to him.

01:02:38Provide this be for his soul's welfare.

01:02:41That with us he may praise and magnify thy holy name.

01:02:47Amen.

01:02:49Hey, Pop.

01:02:50Pop, come here.

01:02:51Peace.

01:02:52What is it, Chris?

01:02:52Ticks.

01:02:53Ticks.

01:02:53It's always ticked, but this time I think I've got an idea.

01:02:55Come on.

01:02:57Get one of those jars.

01:02:58A pair of gloves.

01:02:58THE END

01:03:28WONDERBALL! WONDERBALL!

01:03:37We made him sick, all right. Now can we cure him.

01:03:42These ticks, ticks fed our infected animal blood, are the carriers of the fever.

01:03:46They made the guinea pig sick.

01:03:48The goat which carried them was not sick.

01:03:51The goat must have developed immunity.

01:03:53The goat's blood must be the source of our serum.

01:03:58How's Charlie?

01:04:00Hardly breathing. Hurry, Chris, hurry!

01:04:02The END

01:04:05THE END

01:04:35Harry milked a goat and he died.

01:04:56Charlie milked a goat and he's dying.

01:04:59Solution under our eyes while thousands die.

01:05:02Ticks fed on infected animals' blood.

01:05:04While we fool around with ticks from weeds and thistles.

01:05:07Funny, isn't it?

01:05:08Good men, aren't we?

01:05:09You reckon you've found the answer.

01:05:11If we save Charlie, that'll be the answer.

01:05:13Hurry, Chris, hurry.

01:05:15Still he breathes.

01:05:17A flick of life left.

01:05:18A flick of life left.

01:05:48He rallies.

01:06:00He breathes deeper.

01:06:04His pulse gets stronger.

01:06:07More blankets.

01:06:07Nine.

01:06:29You just need them any more.

01:06:31Failed again.

01:06:39Nine, nine.

01:06:40You succeed.

01:06:42He rallied to the serum.

01:06:44But too far gone he was.

01:06:47The heart wouldn't stand astray.

01:06:49Oh, stop it!

01:06:50Will you stop it?

01:06:51Chris, Chris, come on.

01:06:53Come, Chris.

01:06:54I'll get some coffee.

01:07:22Nine, nine.

01:07:24The priest gave us home after we put Charlie to rest on the hillside.

01:07:28Rest?

01:07:29I wonder if anybody could rest in that sun-baked desolation.

01:07:33What can we do with him?

01:07:35He's in a bad mood.

01:07:37Oh, he's tired and shot to pieces.

01:07:39Listen, Chris.

01:07:41Charlie didn't die in vain.

01:07:42You're on the right track.

01:07:44You know that.

01:07:44Oh, cut it out, Rita.

01:07:46It's too warm.

01:07:48Well, the boat's in.

01:07:49I'm going down to the wharf.

01:07:50I've already been.

01:07:52Any mail for me, Rita?

01:07:53The medical journals, perhaps?

01:07:55A whole slew of them.

01:07:56Well, thank you.

01:07:57Maybe this will cheer you up.

01:07:59Well, it's good news, isn't it?

01:08:27Good?

01:08:29This is a lot better than good.

01:08:31You don't sound very cheerful.

01:08:42There's your passage back to New York and all the money I've got.

01:08:45Fish, I gave you 10%.

01:08:46Well, I'm giving you 100%.

01:08:47Bon voyage.

01:08:49What does it mean, Chris?

01:08:49That you're going home.

01:08:52This is your finish as far as the Clayburn tribe's concerned.

01:08:54So get yourself together.

01:08:55That boat's sailing tomorrow and you're going back on her.

01:08:57And good hunting.

01:08:57Oh, no.

01:08:58Wait a minute.

01:08:58Let me get this.

01:08:59You've got it, all of it.

01:09:00There's just one word.

01:09:02Scram.

01:09:03But I thought we were waiting for this, both of us.

01:09:06I thought we were going to be married.

01:09:08You're not very smart, are you, Rita?

01:09:10Marry you?

01:09:10Tom was a particular kind of sap.

01:09:14He'd never met anything like you before in his life.

01:09:16He needed the lesson that you taught him.

01:09:17Wait a minute.

01:09:18But this is unfair if I can only get it straight.

01:09:21Say it right.

01:09:22Say it any way you might.

01:09:23Oh, will you stop hammering me and listen?

01:09:26All I can think of is I love you.

01:09:28Yeah, a jungle cat can love something or other.

01:09:30You either have to kill her or get away from her.

01:09:32Oh, I despise myself for what I did to Tom, but I couldn't think.

01:09:37Hopeless days, endless nights.

01:09:39That's what love can do for you, Chris.

01:09:41The kind of love I have for you.

01:09:43Yet, when you came back, the moment I looked at you, well, you saw what happened.

01:09:49You're the only girl in the world that I ever wanted to pay for the whole works.

01:09:52Right now, you're not worth the price you're asking, and that's nothing.

01:09:54Oh, go ahead.

01:09:55Whip me with all the words you want to.

01:09:56All these months we've been waiting, I've sensed your restlessness.

01:09:59But I thought it was because you wanted to break down the barriers, and your code wouldn't let you.

01:10:04And I loved and respected you for it.

01:10:06I wouldn't let one minute of the rest of my life depend on you.

01:10:09Not a minute!

01:10:10What kind of a deal did you think you were giving me when you brought me down here?

01:10:13I wasn't thinking about you.

01:10:14I was thinking about my brother.

01:10:17And a few other things.

01:10:20Okay.

01:10:25If you figure I had this coming to me, there's nothing more to be said.

01:10:34I only know I love you.

01:10:35I'll love you till I die.

01:10:42But that's no weapon to fight through your blind arrogance.

01:10:45And now let's call it a day.

01:10:47Chris, I want to tell you what I think.

01:10:50Oh, forget it, Pop.

01:10:52I'm checking that.

01:10:53All this time she's been so patient.

01:11:04So willing to work.

01:11:05Why do you bring her here to make a fool of her?

01:11:08Ah, that's a specialty of hers, making fools of people.

01:11:17Oh, hello, Doctor.

01:11:18How's the start of this day?

01:11:19Good afternoon, gentlemen.

01:11:20Come in, won't you?

01:11:21Please take a seat.

01:11:25I think you have not met Captain Tannels.

01:11:28How did it?

01:11:29Senor.

01:11:30I am the aide to his excellency, the governor.

01:11:33Doctor Coppola, Doctor Glacioso.

01:11:35Sweet and all that, how did it?

01:11:37Senor Doctores, by order of his excellency, the governor,

01:11:41your permit to practice in this province or enter the interior is revoked.

01:11:45Revoked?

01:11:46Why?

01:11:47Your experiments are a failure.

01:11:49No?

01:11:49Yes, very definitely until last night,

01:11:51but now we hope to accomplish what we came here for.

01:11:53Yes, gentlemen.

01:11:54Clayton has a serum found.

01:11:56Yet last night, one of your party died.

01:11:59And through his death, we think we've stumbled on the right track.

01:12:01Yet you were unable to save him with the serum.

01:12:04Yeah, we administer too late, but with the guinea pig, we...

01:12:06You succeed with animals, eh?

01:12:08With humans?

01:12:09No.

01:12:09We'd plan on going to the mines in the interior where the fever's most rampant,

01:12:13testing out the serum on a case that wasn't so far advanced.

01:12:15And if the man should die?

01:12:16Oh, he'd die anyway.

01:12:17Senores, senores, permit me to make it all clear.

01:12:21Some of our people survive this fever even without help.

01:12:24Your treatments only excites fear.

01:12:26And symptoms?

01:12:27And symptoms.

01:12:29Well, it's a normal scientific risk, isn't it?

01:12:31A risk.

01:12:31His excellency, by my advice, will no longer tolerate.

01:12:35Therefore, senores, I warn you,

01:12:37it is unlawful that you practice on any of our citizens.

01:12:40How great is this?

01:12:41What is this?

01:12:42A lot of filthy politics?

01:12:43We have found a cure.

01:12:44Are you bozos afraid of losing your jobs?

01:12:46Senor.

01:12:47Please, Chris.

01:12:49Gentlemen, it's your people we are trying to help.

01:12:52Yeah?

01:12:53We have nothing to gain.

01:12:54Si, senor doctor.

01:12:56Our people.

01:12:57But I warn you,

01:12:58if any of them should die with your treatment,

01:13:01you shall be indicted for murder.

01:13:03Good afternoon, senores.

01:13:05Good afternoon, senores.

01:13:07Good afternoon, senores.

01:13:11Chris, I'm terribly sorry this happened to you.

01:13:26It's an old story, little Rita.

01:13:28Science has always had to fight superstition and ignorance.

01:13:31From now on, I want what my hands can feel and my eyes can see,

01:13:35and that deep, dark secrets can stay up in the cosmic spaces.

01:13:38Oh.

01:13:39Quitting?

01:13:41You better get your things and go up to the hotel, Rita.

01:13:47Listen.

01:13:50If you try out this serum on any citizen of this rat hole,

01:13:53they'll jug you, right?

01:13:55Yeah.

01:13:56But you could do as you darn well please with me, couldn't you?

01:14:00I have faith in your serum.

01:14:02Nein, nein, Rita.

01:14:03Oh, you need a human guinea pig and I'm applying for the job.

01:14:06What do you say, Chris?

01:14:08I say it's a nice grandstand play for your exit.

01:14:10But I mean it.

01:14:11I know you do, Rita.

01:14:12And she knows that there are two men on the face of the earth who infect a woman with a deadly disease for a risky experiment.

01:14:18Sounded good, didn't it?

01:14:20Chris, you're more stupid than doing men who just went out of here.

01:14:23Oh, I'm a sap, Pop.

01:14:26Have my baggage sent over, will you?

01:14:28If there's...

01:14:29If there's anything I've forgotten, shove it along, too.

01:14:34Bye, you old darling.

01:14:35So long, Chris.

01:14:39I'll see you at the hotel.

01:14:42A good old-fashioned Claiborne chivalry, huh?

01:14:45Tear them to pieces, but tip your hat to them on the way out.

01:14:49You're not taking me anyplace.

01:14:52Thanks for the boat ride and the humiliation.

01:14:54Chris, you are an idiot!

01:15:08Love, it puzzles me more than science.

01:15:14I don't know what to make of you, Chris.

01:15:16There's a great chance for all of us to dramatize ourselves, isn't it?

01:15:22A chance to be heroes, and they won't let us.

01:15:24I speak of Rita.

01:15:26For one second of her life, she was right.

01:15:28That's when she said this place fell off the back of a truck.

01:15:32Yes, sir, a garbage truck.

01:15:35Just go into town and get a drink, Pop.

01:15:37Nein, nein. I'm in no mood.

01:15:40Maybe I could drunk and kill someone.

01:15:46Adios, senor.

01:15:47The boat not leaving till after a siesta time, senor.

01:15:49Yeah, well, I'm going on board and sit in the boiler room.

01:15:51It'll be a nice cool change after that bedroom you gave me.

01:15:53Please, senor.

01:15:54Hello, Pete.

01:15:55What are you all dressed up for?

01:15:56Back to the States on this boat.

01:15:58Dr. Fennheim paid me off before they went upriver.

01:16:00Up the river?

01:16:01Yes, the laboratory near the deserted mines.

01:16:03Nothing can make those birds quit.

01:16:05They have moods like prima donnas, but they've got plenty of what it takes.

01:16:08I guess you have to have to be in that racket.

01:16:11How about the gin and lime?

01:16:12No, I'm going aboard.

01:16:14When they left last night, I wanted to go with them.

01:16:16But they said no, too risky.

01:16:18What do you mean, risky?

01:16:19They're going to squirt the thick juice into Claiborne.

01:16:22What?

01:16:23Hey, bring back that baggage.

01:16:25And the only way to stop them is to have them arrested and brought back.

01:16:28Do you wish your friends put in jail?

01:16:30Sure, I'd rather have them there than six feet under the ground.

01:16:32It is a serious thing to disobey the order of this administration.

01:16:36Of course it is.

01:16:36That's what I'm driving at.

01:16:37You're the boss.

01:16:38I shall take steps that my orders are not disobeyed.

01:16:42I knew you would, but you've got to do it at once before it's too late.

01:16:45Senorita, you arrive in the middle of my siesta.

01:16:48But later, I will take the matter up with Captain Tanetz.

01:16:51But I've just come from him.

01:16:53You go to Tanetz first, before you come to Capolo.

01:16:57Well, sure.

01:16:57I, uh, I didn't want to disturb you.

01:17:00I wash my hands a bit.

01:17:01But listen...

01:17:02Senorita, I've worked hard all the morning.

01:17:05I want my siesta.

01:17:07Adios.

01:17:08I'll go to the governor.

01:17:09With the election coming on, it will be hard to find him, to know who is the governor.

01:17:15You may even be speaking to him now, Senorita.

01:17:19Oh.

01:17:24Nine, nine.

01:17:24It is not right.

01:17:25You are young and I am old.

01:17:27It is not fair.

01:17:28What do I know about dice?

01:17:29Now, what are you mumbling about, Pop?

01:17:31I should have been pinnacle.

01:17:32I played good pinnacle.

01:17:33You did all right at dice, you won, didn't you?

01:17:35Yeah, but if I had been pinnacle, maybe I lose.

01:17:38Yeah, stop crabbing.

01:17:39I lost.

01:17:39It's my party.

01:17:41Well, everything's all ready.

01:17:43What are we waiting for?

01:17:45Maybe you have enough enough serum, Chris.

01:17:47Oh, stop stalling, Pop.

01:17:48Let's have a look.

01:17:51Ah, there's enough there for 20 injections.

01:17:53Chris, like a murder, I feel.

01:17:55Is that all the faith you've got in my serum?

01:17:57It was different back there when I was ready to quit.

01:18:00My feet are much colder than yours are, Pop.

01:18:02Come on, give me a little moral support.

01:18:04Yeah, yeah, but we wait tomorrow, eh, Chris?

01:18:06Chris, we work hard to make the serum.

01:18:10Tonight we relax, smoke, and talk.

01:18:14Yeah, but then the authorities find out we're up here and yank us back.

01:18:24Wait a minute, Chris, I'll fix you up something.

01:18:30Okay, Pop.

01:18:31Just as soon as you get drowsy, then I...

01:18:37I inoculate you.

01:18:44And you won't...

01:18:45You won't have so much time to think.

01:18:48Here, drink this.

01:18:49If I swallowed that, I'd go out like a light

01:18:56and wake up in a couple of hours still hale and hearty.

01:18:58I'm ashamed of you, Pop.

01:19:00Did I make it a little strong?

01:19:02Yeah, let's forget about that sleeping stuff.

01:19:04I'll do it myself.

01:19:05Give me some alcohol here, will you?

01:19:07Yeah.

01:19:08Wait a minute, Chris.

01:19:09I want to see if we have everything.

01:19:12Quit stalling, Pop.

01:19:13Here goes.

01:19:14Oh, I'm so sorry.

01:19:22I broke the serum, too, but...

01:19:24Pop.

01:19:24It slipped right out of my hand.

01:19:25You dropped that on purpose.

01:19:28My Chris...

01:19:29Now, don't why Chris me.

01:19:31Pop, when you try to be clever, you're like an elephant toe-dancing.

01:19:33You knew that was the last serum we had,

01:19:35and it'll take some time to make more.

01:19:36Well, it was all the fault of my monocle.

01:19:38Oh, you darned old humbug.

01:19:43Chris, where you go?

01:19:44I'm going down to Goat Corral to get some more blood.

01:19:58There it is.

01:19:59Back of the sugar cane.

01:20:08What?

01:20:08Rita.

01:20:09Where is he?

01:20:11Where is who?

01:20:12The king of Siam, but I'll take Chris Claiborne instead.

01:20:14Where is he?

01:20:14Is he all right?

01:20:15Well, of course he's all right.

01:20:16Oh, cut the stalling, Pop.

01:20:17I know the layout, but it don't go through.

01:20:19See?

01:20:19You don't know how that stuff is going to work.

01:20:20You know it's crazy.

01:20:22Sure, but if you love crazy people, you have to be crazy, too.

01:20:25Well, it's all my fault.

01:20:26I mean the way he is.

01:20:27But I won't let him do it.

01:20:29Do you understand?

01:20:29I won't let him do it.

01:20:31Now, Rita, please.

01:20:32You know nothing will stop Chris Claiborne if he starts a thing.

01:20:36Well, what are his chances?

01:20:38Good.

01:20:39Awful good.

01:20:40How are you going to do it?

01:20:42It's simple.

01:20:44With this virus, we inoculate him.

01:20:47Only with the serum, please God, we save him.

01:20:52Death in one hand and uncertainty in the other.

01:20:55That's the ticket, isn't it?

01:20:57Yeah, but I think he'll be all right, Rita.

01:21:00I'm glad you're here because he'll be very sick and I will need you.

01:21:03He'll try and throw me out, but you won't let him do it, will you?

01:21:07We talk to him.

01:21:09He's in the compound.

01:21:10I go and call him.

01:21:15Chris?

01:21:16Oh, Chris!

01:21:27Oh, don't worry.

01:21:28Don't worry.

01:21:29Chris won't send you back.

01:21:31No, I...

01:21:32I don't think he can now.

01:21:36So hurry, Pop.

01:21:44Well, well, well.

01:21:46No matter how you try to get away from me, I still find you, don't I?

01:21:51Yes, I just dropped in on my way to a bridge party.

01:21:55I thought you were more partial to dice.

01:21:58Papa, I, uh...

01:22:04I've got a little case of the jitters.

01:22:05I wonder if you could give me something to sort of quiet me down.

01:22:09It's, uh, to my son, I guess.

01:22:11Yeah, I'm tired.

01:22:12You must be with the long journey.

01:22:19Here, take a couple of swallows of this.

01:22:22Not too much.

01:22:23It'll make you sleep.

01:22:24Sleep, that's okay with me.

01:22:26Some food, maybe, you like?

01:22:27No, this is all I need.

01:22:28We only have one bunk room here.

01:22:29Our hospitality is limited.

01:22:31Yeah, I get a welcome rubbed right off the mat.

01:22:32What did you expect?

01:22:33Just what I'm getting.

01:22:34Well, we've got a lot of work to do, so when you feel better, I'll take you down to your canoe.

01:22:37Oh, but, but, but, not, not anymore.

01:22:38What do you want?

01:22:49Himal!

01:22:50What's the matter, Pop?

01:22:53Rita!

01:22:54You touched this?

01:22:56What are you doing with it?

01:22:57Oh, give me the rest of this drink, will you?

01:22:58I got the jitters, I tell you.

01:23:00Rita!

01:23:02Rita, you destroy yourself!

01:23:03My child, that's not right!

01:23:05You're, you're so young midlife!

01:23:06Right now, I, I feel a thousand years old.

01:23:11Rita!

01:23:13Rita!

01:23:14It was an accident.

01:23:15You deliberately injected that virus into your veins?

01:23:17I tell you, it was an accident!

01:23:18Oh, why did you let it do her, you fool?

01:23:19Oh, Chris!

01:23:20Now, open up those curtains.

01:23:26Rita, darling, why did you do it?

01:23:27Oh, I'll come through all right, Chris, if you just keep your arms around me.

01:23:31I don't know if it's a dope, Pop gave me something I see in your eyes, but I feel swell.

01:23:44No serum.

01:23:47And I destroyed it.

01:23:49Oh, my throat is beginning to burn.

01:23:51Could the glands have started to act as quickly as that?

01:23:52If we only had serum.

01:23:55That's our only chance.

01:23:56What are we waiting for?

01:23:56Come on.

01:23:57Come on.

01:25:27It's easy to take chances with other people's lives.

01:25:30We took one of Charlie's and his heart stopped.

01:25:32Give it to her.

01:25:32Give it to her, I say.

01:25:35I can't do it, Pop.

01:25:37I can't.

01:25:38You're a coward.

01:25:39It makes you feel as if the moon had just shot over the mountain top.

01:25:47Seven come eleven.

01:25:48Roll them while they're hot.

01:25:50You hear me?

01:25:52Come on.

01:25:53Give me that high-wear, I'm a cop.

01:25:54Stop hammering me and listen.

01:26:05All I know is I love you.

01:26:08I love you.

01:26:09In three months, we shall return with the equipment for the new hospital.

01:26:18And now, ladies and gentlemen of the Rothmore Institute,

01:26:21in conclusion, I should like to say that I feel entirely unworthy of the great honor you do me.

01:26:27And if there is credit due, and I'm sure there is,

01:26:31it belongs entirely to my wife.

01:26:33Boy, would you hand the microphone to Mrs. Claiborne?

01:26:39It was a tough fight, Mom, but I won.

01:26:42Hooray!

01:26:44Mrs. Claiborne really doesn't feel that she deserves this beautiful silver tea set.

01:26:48All she asks is that a monument be placed side by side with that of Florence Nightingale.

01:26:52With a simple inscription to the girl who knocked the spots off spotted fields.

01:26:56Hooray!

01:26:57I'm glad you haven't forgotten how to be crazy, Chris.

01:27:00That's the kind of thing you're going to have to face when you get to New York, darling.

01:27:02I love New York in May.

01:27:04Even when it's October?

01:27:05Oh, let's always pretend it's May.

01:27:07Even when we come back with a hospital.

01:27:09And that's something to look forward to, to be useful.

01:27:13You're going to let me be, aren't you, Chris?

01:27:15When we come back, you give the orders, and I'll touch my cap.

01:27:23Say, we never got a captain's cap, did we?

01:27:26Now, Chris, be yourself or don't be yourself.

01:27:32Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go.

01:27:35Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go.

01:27:39Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go.
