00:02:36I'm having a swell time, aren't you?
00:02:38Sure, yes sir.
00:02:42Look, I'm in my kitchen.
00:02:58Say, we're a couple of fine fishermen.
00:03:00Out all afternoon and only catch two fish.
00:03:04Three, Dad.
00:03:10Two.
00:03:34Day and night.
00:03:38Father and son together.
00:03:40Keep on going along.
00:03:42Singing a song.
00:03:44Father and son march on.
00:03:46Father and son march on.
00:03:56Having whetted your appetites, as chairman of the awards committee of the Father and Son Association, I hereby announce the winner of the first prize in the junior division.
00:04:12For the best composition entitled, My Father, gentlemen, I give you William Peck.
00:04:26Hi.
00:04:27There you are.
00:04:28The first prize.
00:04:29Oh, gee.
00:04:33Speed.
00:04:34Speed.
00:04:35Speed.
00:04:36Speed.
00:04:37Speed.
00:04:38Come on, Bill.
00:04:39Get up.
00:04:40He's got to.
00:04:41I can't make a speech.
00:04:42Of course you can.
00:04:43Say something, Bill.
00:04:44I don't know what to say.
00:04:45No.
00:04:46Come on, Bill.
00:04:47Don't be so bad.
00:04:48That's the boy.
00:04:49Oh.
00:04:50Go on, Bill.
00:04:51Go ahead.
00:04:52That a boy.
00:04:53Oh, gee.
00:04:54I can't make no speech.
00:04:56I don't know why they gave me the prize.
00:04:59I just got a swell dad and said so.
00:05:02And, uh, now, let us hear from the father, our esteemed fellow townsman, Henry Peck.
00:05:22We want Henry.
00:05:23We want Henry.
00:05:25We want Henry.
00:05:26We want Henry.
00:05:27Not on your license.
00:05:28We want Henry.
00:05:29We want Henry.
00:05:30We want Henry.
00:05:31We want Henry.
00:05:32We want Henry.
00:05:33We want Henry.
00:05:34We want Henry.
00:05:35We want Henry.
00:05:36We want Henry.
00:05:41I, uh, I guess I'm kind of like Bill.
00:05:48Not much good at making speeches.
00:05:52And, uh, like him, I don't know why he got that prize.
00:05:58He probably copied the composition out of a, out of a book.
00:06:07Seriously, though, he's a regular kid.
00:06:13And I'm proud of him.
00:06:15A little mischievous, sure.
00:06:17But what real boy isn't?
00:06:20The trouble with us fathers nowadays is that we often get the wrong slant on this discipline business.
00:06:26We don't our kids to death.
00:06:28Don't do this and don't do that.
00:06:31Now, here's the way I look at it.
00:06:33If your boy has never climbed your neighbor's apple tree or driven a cow into someone's garden or broken a window, I'd say, well, put lace pants on him.
00:06:49All.
00:06:50Oh!
00:06:51Sun song!
00:06:53Was gonna have your laced pants on, Harry?
00:06:55What are your mean, laced pants?
00:06:58You heard what my dad said, didn't you?
00:07:12I said, didn't you, about guys breaking windows?
00:07:30There's no waist pants on me!
00:07:38There's no waist pants on my tongue!
00:07:42We're all here, at the end of the day, next night we were certaines,
00:07:46gasping open over the wind.
00:07:48We love you.
00:07:50We love you.
00:07:52We love you all!
00:07:53We love you all!
00:07:54What do is a matter of time!
00:07:56We love you all!
00:07:57We love you all!
00:07:58We love you all!
00:08:03Hiya, Dub!
00:08:07Hey, look, Dub, I caught the droid.
00:08:09That's great, Phil, that's great.
00:08:11Where's your dad? I'll bet he's proud of you.
00:08:13I certainly am, but what are you doing here, Duffy, at this hour?
00:08:16Telegram came to the house. I thought it might be important.
00:08:19Look there, Duffy. First award to William Packer.
00:08:22Oh, it's wonderful.
00:08:23It's going, too, isn't it?
00:08:24Boy, oh, boy.
00:08:31It surely is going.
00:08:33Come on, son. We'll walk off that ice cream, Jay.
00:08:36Okay, Pop.
00:08:41You've never seen your Aunt Lily, have you, Bill?
00:08:45No, Dad. Why?
00:08:47Well, I've invited your Aunt Lily and her son
00:08:50to come and visit us for a while.
00:08:53Oh, how old is her son?
00:08:56Oh, about your age.
00:08:58You see, things have been going pretty hard with her
00:09:01since her husband died.
00:09:03So I thought it'd be kind of nice to have them come and stay with us
00:09:06until things got straightened out for them.
00:09:09Well, what's the kid's name, Dad?
00:09:15Horace.
00:09:17Horace?
00:09:24Oh, well.
00:09:25I guess we can call him Butch or something.
00:09:28Sure.
00:09:39Hey.
00:09:40Aren't you in bed yet, Bill?
00:09:41Oh.
00:09:42Oh.
00:09:43Oh.
00:09:44Sir?
00:09:45Mm-hmm.
00:09:46Thanks, Bill.
00:09:47Oh.
00:09:48Hey.
00:09:49Looks as though we need a little
00:09:54feminine influence around here.
00:09:55Oh.
00:09:56I'm just going to hang him up.
00:09:57Mm-hmm.
00:09:58Say, Dad.
00:09:59Yes, Bill?
00:10:00How's that only our relationship?
00:10:01Is she your sister?
00:10:02No.
00:10:03Your mother was a sister.
00:10:04Oh.
00:10:05Oh.
00:10:06Oh.
00:10:07Oh.
00:10:08Oh.
00:10:09Oh.
00:10:10Oh.
00:10:11Oh.
00:10:12Oh.
00:10:13Oh.
00:10:14Oh.
00:10:15Oh.
00:10:16Oh.
00:10:17Oh.
00:10:18Oh.
00:10:19Oh.
00:10:20Oh, oh.
00:10:21I'm sorry.
00:10:22You're not like, Oh.
00:10:23Oh.
00:10:26Is she your sister?
00:10:27No.
00:10:28Your mother was aunt Lily's sister.
00:10:29Oh.
00:10:30How old was I when mother died?
00:10:31Oh.
00:10:32It's just a,
00:10:34a little bit of a shaver.
00:10:36Excuse me, Unlade.
00:10:38How much do you think my cousin weighs?
00:10:44Strix?
00:10:45You've got me there
00:10:51Team could use a heavy guy on the line
00:10:54Good night, Bill.
00:10:56Good night, Dad.
00:11:01Yeah, we can call him Butch.
00:11:05Butch.
00:11:11Night, Elmer.
00:11:13See you in the morning.
00:11:15Mm-hmm.
00:11:29Hiya, brother!
00:11:30Hiya, Bill!
00:11:32Oh, Duffy.
00:11:34I want you to get on with Mrs. Clay.
00:11:38Just don't talk too much.
00:11:40Me and women say I wrote a book about them once.
00:11:43In the first chapter on feminine foibles.
00:11:45I know.
00:11:46I know.
00:11:47So you've told me before.
00:11:50What did you say his name was?
00:11:52Oh, I call him Butch.
00:11:54Butch?
00:11:55Yeah, we need a big guy at the center.
00:11:58I call him Butch.
00:11:59Butch.
00:12:00Butch.
00:12:01Yeah, we need a big guy at the center.
00:12:09Come on, boys.
00:12:10Come on, Bill.
00:12:11Come on, Bill.
00:12:12Come on, Bill.
00:12:13I gotta go, putters.
00:12:14Come on, Bill.
00:12:15Come on, Bill.
00:12:16All right.
00:12:18Well, well, Lily.
00:12:30It's good to see you.
00:12:32Well, well, Lily, it's good to see you.
00:12:43Oh, Henry, you don't know what coming here means to us.
00:12:48Holy smoke.
00:12:49What did he say his name was?
00:12:52Butch.
00:12:53Uh-uh.
00:12:57And I suppose this is Billy.
00:13:01And this is Horace.
00:13:04How you doing, Uncle Henry?
00:13:06Glad to see you, Horace.
00:13:08Oh, hello, Horace.
00:13:11Glad to know you, Bill.
00:13:13Oh, Duffy, will you get those bags?
00:13:15Yes.
00:13:16And will you carry a wee toy, Billy, dear?
00:13:20If that guy's name's Butch, mine's Clarabelle.
00:13:35Ixnay on the S-ray.
00:13:38Well, Lily, here we are.
00:13:42Such a beautiful home.
00:13:43Oh, Henry, it's so kind of you to share it with us.
00:13:45Oh, Lily.
00:13:46Uh-huh.
00:13:47Uh-huh.
00:13:48Uh-huh.
00:13:49Uh-huh.

00:14:30Uh-huh.
00:14:31Uh-huh.
00:14:32Uh-huh.
00:14:33I could cry.
00:14:34Oh, don't be silly.
00:14:36All we want you to do is to consider yourself at home,
00:14:39as long as you're here with us.
00:14:43Is that all you want now, Mr. Payne?
00:14:46That's all, Martha.
00:14:53Now, Bill, you better take Elmer outdoors.
00:14:56Outdoors?
00:14:57Well, after all, he's not a house dog.
00:14:59Oh, he'll feel insulted.
00:15:01He's always been in the house.
00:15:02Now, don't you see that you've got hand-willy upset?
00:15:04Take him out.
00:15:16Wee Toy will be used to Elmer in no time.
00:15:19What, tomorrow they'll probably be playing together.
00:15:22I don't think so, Billy, dear.
00:15:24Wee Toy has never liked big dogs.
00:15:28Oh, supposing you boys tackle that luggage?
00:15:31And, Bill, you show Horace his room.
00:15:34All right, Dad.
00:15:35Come on, Horace.
00:15:41Oh, it's such a lovely house, Henry.
00:15:53Simply adorable.
00:15:54This is yours.
00:15:55Gee, your room's great.
00:16:08Yeah.
00:16:08Here's my alarm clock.
00:16:09And the radio.
00:16:24I won that right in the composition about my dad.
00:16:27I've been through a great deal, Henry, but at least I can be proud of my boy, Horace.
00:16:42I've made every sacrifice and will gladly continue to, if necessary, to bring Horace up as a perfect gentleman.
00:16:51You've done very well, Lily.
00:16:54William seems like a nice boy, too.
00:16:57Oh, he's a grand kid.
00:16:59A little deadly sometimes, but always regular.
00:17:03Yeah, I'm so glad.
00:17:05Really, I am especially for William's sake.
00:17:08You've been so good to him, Henry.
00:17:11He, he doesn't know, does he?
00:17:14Oh, no, no, no, no.
00:17:17You see, he is my son, as far as I'm concerned, just as much as if he were my own flesh and blood.
00:17:24And I know how he feels about me, too.
00:17:28He thinks I'm a swell dad, and I try to be just because he thinks so.
00:17:34I'm so glad that you feel that way about it.
00:17:38Horace doesn't know, does he?
00:17:40Why?
00:17:41Of course not.
00:17:43And you certainly don't think he'd tell if he did.
00:17:47No, but I guess it's safer this way.
00:17:51That aunt's under my microscope.
00:17:54You have?
00:17:55Mm-hmm.
00:18:00I certainly like your room.
00:18:04You wouldn't want to change with me, would you?
00:18:07Are you kidding?
00:18:09I should say not.
00:18:11Mine's right next to my dad's over there.
00:18:13I wouldn't change for no money in the world.
00:18:16Horace, dear, it's only natural that Billy should have the better room,
00:18:20and only natural that he should want to keep it.
00:18:23We mustn't expect too much.
00:18:25You don't want to be selfish, like other little boys.
00:18:30Uh, take Horace out and have him meet the boys.
00:18:35First thing you want to do is to join Bill's gang.
00:18:39What's the name of the club now, uh, oh, the Excelsior Club.
00:18:44It's the most exclusive club in town.
00:18:46Come on, uh, Horace.
00:18:49Do you stutter?
00:18:51No, of course not.
00:18:55So long, Dad.
00:18:56So long, kids.
00:18:57See you tonight.
00:18:58Hey, come on, Horace.
00:18:59Bye, Uncle Henry.
00:19:00Come on, Horace.
00:19:01Come on, Horace.
00:19:02Come on, Horace.
00:19:03Come on, Horace.
00:19:04Come on, Horace.
00:19:06Come on, Horace.
00:19:07Come on, Horace.
00:19:08Come on.
00:19:09Next week's school starts, so we might as well have all the fun we can.
00:19:21Oh, I don't know.
00:19:22A school's not so good.
00:19:23Yeah.
00:19:24Come on, Horace.
00:19:25Hey, you good boy.
00:19:26There's a good boy.
00:19:27Here.
00:19:28Come on.
00:19:29Come on.
00:19:30Come on.
00:19:31Go.
00:19:32Come on.
00:19:33Come on.
00:19:34Come on.
00:19:35Come on.
00:19:38What do you think about her?
00:19:39He's a funny-looking mutt.
00:19:41Mutt nothing?
00:19:42Why, Duffy said that he's a thoroughbred Mongolian.
00:19:46Yeah, but what does Duffy know about him?
00:19:48Oh, Duffy's a swell guy.
00:19:50He's a scholar, too.
00:19:51You mean, he goes to school.
00:19:53Oh, no, he's too old to go to school.
00:19:56But that's what he always says.
00:19:58He's a gentleman and a scholar.
00:20:00What does he do for a living?
00:20:02Oh, he wants your dad off and on.
00:20:04Put that stuff for you.
00:20:05Here today and going tomorrow.
00:20:07It's not like a trap to me.
00:20:09Oh, not him.
00:20:10Why, he'll tell you.
00:20:11He's been every place and done everything and,
00:20:14well, there's where he lives.
00:20:16And that job?
00:20:18Well, that's just sort of temporary.
00:20:21If our financial condition is down,
00:20:23why did we have any present?
00:20:25It's the monetary system.
00:20:27What's the matter?
00:20:29He's got somebody in there with him.
00:20:32And in closing, friends and radio listeners,
00:20:35I want to emphasize that my sentiments
00:20:38have been perfectly expressed by that other British American,
00:20:42Abraham Lincoln.
00:20:43This is a government of the people,
00:20:46by the people, and for the people.
00:20:49I thank you.
00:20:51You took the words right out of my mouth, Al.
00:20:53Hiya, Duff.
00:20:55Hello there, Bill.
00:20:57Come on in.
00:21:02I, uh, I was just coming up to your place.
00:21:05Hello, Horace.
00:21:06How do you do, Mr. Duffy?
00:21:08Plain Duffy to my friend, son.
00:21:10Let's go.
00:21:15Hey, Duffy, what were you arguing with the radio for?
00:21:18Keeps me up with my oratory.
00:21:21Might have to run for office again.
00:21:23You don't see anything you've held in office.
00:21:25Sure.
00:21:27I was unanimously elected governor of New Mexico.
00:21:31Back in 1892, it was.
00:21:34Say, New Mexico wasn't admitted to the union until 1912.
00:21:39Wasn't even a state.
00:21:41Who said it was a state?
00:21:43I was territorial governor.
00:21:45Territories don't elect governors.
00:21:48They're appointed.
00:21:49Who said anything about being elected?
00:21:51Who did?
00:21:52You said...
00:21:53Oh, must have misheard me.
00:21:56Pretty quick in the uptake, ain't you, son?
00:21:58Huh?
00:21:59Kinda smart.
00:22:00I mean, he ain't great.
00:22:02That's fine, Horace.
00:22:04You go right ahead.
00:22:05Don't let nothing stop you.
00:22:06Schooling's a great thing.
00:22:08I'm a Harvard man, myself.
00:22:11What's the capital of New York?
00:22:14Albany.
00:22:16Anybody knows that?
00:22:18What's the capital of Illinois?
00:22:20Springfield.
00:22:21That's where Lincoln live.
00:22:23What's the capital of Oregon?
00:22:26Oregon.
00:22:27Oregon.
00:22:28Why golly, you got me there.
00:22:31I never did get to Oregon.
00:22:33I know all the capitals.
00:22:35They've only been in one state.
00:22:36Well, Jeff, wasn't you a lumberjack in Oregon?
00:22:38No.
00:22:39That was Washington.
00:22:40Oh, yeah.
00:22:41I remember.
00:22:42Washington.
00:22:43Then what's the capital of...
00:22:44All right, Bill.
00:22:45Go!
00:22:46Hiya, fellas.
00:22:47I'll see you later.
00:22:48Fellas?
00:22:49This is my cousin, and he wants to join the club.
00:22:51Horace, this is Brad.
00:22:52Hi.
00:22:53This is Bax.
00:22:54It's Bax.
00:22:55Joey.
00:22:56Hello.
00:22:57Tom.
00:22:58Cupid.
00:22:59Cupid?
00:23:00That's a funny name.
00:23:01What's yours?
00:23:02Horace.
00:23:03Horace Clay.
00:23:04Oh, Horace.
00:23:05I'll slap you on the wrist.
00:23:06Pick up a dandelion.
00:23:07Pick up a dandelion?
00:23:08What for?
00:23:09What for?
00:23:10Oh, I'm sorry.
00:23:11I'm sorry.
00:23:12I'm sorry.
00:23:13I'm sorry.
00:23:14I'm sorry.
00:23:15I'm sorry.
00:23:16I'm sorry.
00:23:17I'm sorry.
00:23:18I'm sorry.
00:23:19I'm sorry.
00:23:20I'm sorry.
00:23:21I'm sorry.
00:23:22I'm sorry.
00:23:23You have a dandelion.
00:23:24What for?
00:23:25Go on.
00:23:26Do as you're told.
00:23:34Excelsior!
00:23:35Excelsior!
00:23:36Hey, what's the idea?
00:23:39You gotta do it, Horace.
00:23:41That's initiation.
00:23:42Well, you're not gonna initiate me that way.
00:23:45That's the rules.
00:23:46Sure.
00:23:47Everybody goes through the mill before they can be a member.
00:23:50Oh, it's dumb if you ask me.
00:23:52You wanna be a member, don't you?
00:23:54Yeah, but I'm not gonna be made a fool of.
00:23:57Oh, come on, Horace.
00:23:58Be a regular guy.
00:23:59We're all going swimming after.
00:24:01I don't wanna go swimming.
00:24:03I forget him.
00:24:04Let's go swimming.
00:24:05I bet your cousin would like to play a nice game of tiddlywinks.
00:24:09Oh, you guys got him all wrong.
00:24:11He's all right.
00:24:12Maybe he's homesick or something.
00:24:15That's one in the creek's name's Clarabelle.
00:24:17Hey, wait, wait.
00:24:18Woo!
00:24:19C'mon!
00:24:20C'mon!
00:24:21C'mon!
00:24:22C'mon!
00:24:23C'mon!
00:24:24C'mon!
00:24:25C'mon!
00:24:26C'mon!
00:24:27C'mon!
00:24:28C'mon!
00:24:29C'mon!
00:24:30C'mon!
00:24:31C'mon!
00:24:32C'mon!
00:24:33C'mon!
00:24:34What's the matter, dear?
00:24:35Nothing's the matter.
00:24:36What's happened?
00:24:37Tell mother.
00:24:38I told you nothing.
00:24:39Why aren't you out playing with Billy?
00:24:41You don't wanna play with me.
00:24:42Well, what about the other boys?
00:24:43You told them not to play with me.
00:24:44Why?
00:24:45How should I know?
00:24:46Horace, how can you speak to me in that manner?
00:24:49Then why do you ask me so many questions?
00:24:51Because, darling, I'm just trying to help you.
00:24:53You see, when you're unhappy,
00:24:55mother is miserable.
00:24:56Peck!
00:24:57Just leave him to me.
00:24:58You know, dear,
00:24:59you have just as much right in this house as he has.
00:25:02I know that you have just as much right in this house as he has.
00:25:06How can you speak to me in that manner?
00:25:08Then why do you ask me so many questions?
00:25:09Because, darling,
00:25:10I'm just trying to help you.
00:25:12You see,
00:25:13when you're unhappy,
00:25:14Mother is miserable.
00:25:15Peck!
00:25:16Just leave him to me.
00:25:18You know, dear,
00:25:20you have just as much right in this house as he has.
00:25:23Put on over five pounds,
00:25:32and that's over a pound a week.
00:25:35But they are the best waffles I ever ate.
00:25:37With my special recipe.
00:25:39Do you have another cup of coffee?
00:25:41You know,
00:25:42it's a rare thing, Lily,
00:25:43to find a woman who can make a decent cup of coffee.
00:25:45Well,
00:25:46it's a rare thing to find a man who can appreciate a cup of coffee when he gets it.
00:25:53Wheeled,
00:25:59Billy, dear,
00:26:00don't do that.
00:26:02What are you up to now?
00:26:03Cut that out, Elmer.
00:26:06Billy,
00:26:07you know that isn't very fair to the animal.
00:26:10If you keep feeding him at the table,
00:26:12he'll continue to expect it,
00:26:13and you know that isn't very nice.
00:26:14nice. I thought I told you to keep that dog outside. You didn't say all the time. Billy,
00:26:21that sounded terribly fresh. Oh, I didn't mean it that way. I'm sure you didn't, but it sounded
00:26:28dreadfully. Hey, what do you got there? Where? You know where, in your pocket. What pocket? In your
00:26:40pants pocket. Horace, let me see your handkerchief. Billy, why can't you fill that
00:27:10soiled handkerchief in the laundry bag and take another? Oh, I only got it out just today.
00:27:17Will you please do what Aunt Lily says? What do you got in that bottle? This. Oh, my goodness,
00:27:24take them away. Take them away. Throw that stuff out. Oh, but I've been studying them, and I've
00:27:30been feeding them for months. Feeding ants? You take that junk and dump it out in the ash
00:27:36can and come back here. What about the two bottles of ants in your room, Bill? Now, listen,
00:27:42you go right up and get them and dump them out with the rest of this junk.
00:27:49Dirty little snitch. Come on, Roma. Give Mr. Horace to see what you want me to do here. Oh, Billy,
00:27:55do you? As long as you're going upstairs, will you take Horace to sit with you?
00:27:58You mustn't be too harsh with him, Henry. He's only a child. Well, after all, Horace has had a
00:28:14mother's care. Miss Martha, you may take the plates out, but leave the coffee. That's the way I always
00:28:20does it, Miss Lily. Martha doesn't seem to catch on very quickly, does she? I catch on to
00:28:29some things mighty quick, Miss Lily.
00:28:50Oh, Uncle Henry, have you seen my report card? Yes, and a very good report card it is too. Oh, that reminds me, Bill. I knew the
00:29:20there was something else I wanted to talk to you about. Horace Clay, A in effort, plus B in work, A in conduct.
00:29:32William Peck, C in effort, B in work, C in conduct, C in conduct. How did it happen?
00:29:41Oh, some kid poked me when we were at recess, so I poked him back and I got C.
00:29:47Well, that's the third fight that you've had in the past two months. Of course, it doesn't reflect
00:29:52much credit on me to have everyone in town saying that Peck's boy is always in trouble. You
00:29:58must know how it makes me feel. Horace.
00:30:04Oh. Thanks, Horace. Horace, it's time for you to get ready for church. Yes, Mother. Excuse me, Uncle Henry. And you too, Billy, dear. Oh, Bill. Just a minute.
00:30:11Sit down. Excuse me, please. Excuse me, please.
00:30:18Excuse me, Uncle Henry. Excuse me, Uncle Henry.
00:30:23Excuse me, Uncle Henry. You too, Billy, dear. Oh, Bill. Just a minute. Sit down.
00:30:30Excuse me, please.
00:30:37Bill, I... maybe I shouldn't have given you that claw down before Aunt Lillian Horace.
00:30:45Maybe I shouldn't have given you that claw down before Aunt Lily and Horace.
00:30:52That's all right.
00:30:55Something's licking the tar out of you.
00:30:59What's it doing?
00:31:01Nothing.
00:31:03You can't tell me that.
00:31:06You're not pulling well with Horace, are you?
00:31:09No.
00:31:12You not only refuse to play with him, but you influence the rest of the gang toward him.
00:31:21I can't help it if they don't like him.
00:31:24I don't see why not.
00:31:26Maybe he's not like the other boys you play with, but he seems like a good kid.
00:31:31And he's smart, too.
00:31:34Oh, he's smart, all right.
00:31:37The trouble is you don't try to understand him, Bill.
00:31:43I don't want to understand him.
00:31:45Well, it's up to you to get along with him.
00:31:47You've got to bear with him as long as he and Aunt Lily are living with us.
00:31:51How much longer are they going to stay?
00:31:53Bill, I don't like your attitude.
00:31:56Guys, we don't seem to get together at all anymore.
00:32:00You know as well as I do that ever since Aunt Lily's been here, why she's done everything in her power to make things pleasant for us.
00:32:09Bill, what?
00:32:17I don't think so.
00:32:21Mm-hmm.
00:32:25Oh, my God.
00:32:55I think that a guy who's president of the Excelsior Club
00:33:10could handle a little situation like this, don't you?
00:33:16I'll tell you, Dad, I try to be friends with him, but I don't know.
00:33:21You can't tell me about kids.
00:33:23They're all alike, scrapping one minute and friends the next.
00:33:28You know the trouble with you?
00:33:30You're trying to make a mountain out of a molehill.
00:33:35Now, beat it upstairs and get ready for church.
00:33:39Step on it, will you?
00:33:41Okay, Paul.
00:33:41Step on it.
00:33:45Step on it.
00:33:47Let's go.
00:33:49BIRDS CHIRP
00:34:19Hey Horace, will you get out of my room?
00:34:29Horace, that played sort of a dirty trick on you, and I wanted to tell you about it.
00:34:33You can't tell me anything.
00:34:35Well, I had a talk with Dad, and I told him that you can't tell me anything.
00:34:40Horace!
00:34:41I'm coming, Mother!
00:34:43Hey Horace!
00:34:44I'm...
00:34:45Hello, Horace.
00:34:58All set?
00:34:59You'd better hurry, Uncle Henry.
00:35:00Oh, we've got plenty of time.
00:35:02There's only a couple blocks.
00:35:03To be continued...
00:35:20Let's go.
00:35:50I'm going out.
00:36:20Well, did keeping him in his room all afternoon do any good?
00:36:37He wouldn't say anything except that he didn't do it.
00:36:44I don't know what's gotten into him.
00:36:47He never lied to me before, playing a trick like that on me.
00:36:54Why, don't you let me try to work it out.
00:36:59I want you to be happy, Henry.
00:37:02And I might be able to wake William up.
00:37:08That may be a good idea, Lily.
00:37:11We'll talk about it later.
00:37:14I'm going over to see Watkins for a few minutes on business.
00:37:18I'll see you at the theater at 7.
00:37:34What do you want?
00:37:35I just wanted to tell you the gang was around asking for you.
00:37:39I told them you couldn't come out.
00:37:41Do keep your nose out of my business.
00:37:43Now beat her.
00:37:44I certainly like this room.
00:37:47Well, forget it because it won't do you no good.
00:37:51I was just thinking.
00:37:53If you'll trade rooms with me, I'll tell Uncle Henry the truth about the aunt.
00:37:57You keep quiet.
00:37:58You made enough trouble between Dad and me already.
00:38:01Why don't you and your mother get wise to yourselves and pack up and go home?
00:38:04Why don't you get wise to yourself?
00:38:06We're here to stay.
00:38:08You ought to know by now that nobody wants you.
00:38:10You don't belong here.
00:38:11We have as much right here as you have.
00:38:13In fact, more.
00:38:14Well, you have, huh?
00:38:16Yes, we have.
00:38:17How do you figure that out?
00:38:19You don't know.
00:38:20I'm not going to tell you.
00:38:21Well, don't think what I kid.
00:38:23At least I've got a mother.
00:38:25I know who my father was.
00:38:27And I knew who my father is.
00:38:29What do you think?
00:38:30You cut that out.
00:38:31Cousin or no cousin, I'll take a suck at you.
00:38:34You're not my cousin.
00:38:35You're in no relation to any of us.
00:38:36You're an orphan.
00:38:37They got you out of an orphan's home.
00:38:39Oh, you're goofy.
00:38:40Am I?
00:38:41Well, I can prove it.
00:38:42If you don't believe me, ask my mother.
00:38:44Go on.
00:38:45Why don't you find out for yourself then?
00:38:47Find out if it isn't true.
00:38:49Find out if they didn't get you from an orphan asylum.
00:38:51Ask your dad.
00:39:17I've been cooking all my life without a receipt book and then she come along.
00:39:24Two teaspoons of vanilla.
00:39:25I've been cooking all my life without a receipt book and then she come along.
00:39:33Two teaspoons of vanilla.
00:39:35What's dad, Martha?
00:39:49Hmm?
00:39:50Oh, it's you.
00:39:51Where's dad?
00:39:52And your dad?
00:39:53He done gone downtown for something.
00:39:54He ain't really going down to meet him after a while, and they're going to the movies.
00:39:59Are you sure?
00:40:00Is I sure?
00:40:01Is I sure?
00:40:02Is I ever lied to you?
00:40:03Well, I mean, when will he be back?
00:40:04Now, how should I know when he'll be back?
00:40:05How should I know?
00:40:06And don't start asking me, I got too much on my mind now.
00:40:09Well, where'd she put that current jam?
00:40:14How long you been with dad and me, Martha?
00:40:19Oh, near about 15 years.
00:40:20Long before you was born, sonny.
00:40:23Then you must have been with dad and me, Martha.
00:40:26Oh, near about 15 years.
00:40:28Long before you was born, sonny.
00:40:31Then you must have been here when I was born.
00:40:36We wasn't here then, Miss, living in Greeley.
00:40:41Oh, gosh.
00:40:42Then you do remember.
00:40:44Why, of course I remember, child.
00:40:46I got a memory like an elephant.
00:40:48Billy, honey, you were the cutest, pinkest, prettiest little baby I ever saw.
00:40:53And your mamma daddy sure was crazy about you.
00:40:56And I was, too.
00:40:57Ain't that something?
00:40:58Ain't that something?
00:40:59Yes, but go on now.
00:41:00Get on out of the way.
00:41:01Get on out.
00:41:02Get.
00:41:03Get on out.
00:41:05Come on now.
00:41:06Get on out.
00:41:07Let's get the truth out of my brain.
00:41:09I mean, what about you?
00:41:13Somebody's been talking and somebody's been talking, too.
00:41:55Hi there, Bill.
00:42:06Where's Butch?
00:42:07You mean Clarabelle, don't you?
00:42:10Well, Butch or Clarabelle, it's all the same.
00:42:13Go to the ad, thou sluggard.
00:42:18We have the pleasure of your company to go fishing for Bullhead, Mr. William Peck.
00:42:23No, thank you.
00:42:23I don't care to go fishing.
00:42:25Ta-da!
00:42:27Father and time together,
00:42:31Towns with every kind of weather.
00:42:35Boys of today are men of morrow,
00:42:39So let your country come to sorrow.
00:42:43Fight, fight, fight, fight for the wild.
00:42:47Fight, fight, fight for the wild.
00:42:49Hiya, Duff.
00:42:57Hi there, Bill.
00:42:59Where you been all afternoon?
00:43:01Oh, I've been around.
00:43:04Say, Duff, was you ever in an orphan asylum?
00:43:06Was I ever in an asylum?
00:43:10Yeah.
00:43:11Now, that ain't nice, kid.
00:43:13I don't like that.
00:43:15Accusing a man of my standing with being in a crazy house?
00:43:18Oh, you don't get me right, Duff.
00:43:20I mean an orphan asylum.
00:43:22Oh, you mean orphan homes.
00:43:26Now, somehow, this is kind of strange.
00:43:28I didn't get you right on account of this, so.
00:43:31Stop a minute, will you, Duff?
00:43:32This is awful important to me.
00:43:34Sure.
00:43:36Speak your mind.
00:43:37Well, what I want to know is,
00:43:41if a kid's born in an orphan home,
00:43:43how does he find out?
00:43:45Well, I'll tell you.
00:43:48You see, when me and my three brothers and two sisters
00:43:51was all orphans,
00:43:53we was in an orphan home,
00:43:54and I was quite a character.
00:43:56As a matter of fact,
00:43:57a fellow wrote a play about my brother and me.
00:43:59Did you ever hear about it?
00:44:01It was called the two orphans.
00:44:03Hey, Duffy!
00:44:05Well, did you find out?
00:44:08As I started to tell you.
00:44:10Skip it, Duffy.
00:44:11Hmm?
00:44:11Skip it, never mind.
00:44:17Mother wants those flowers for her corsage.
00:44:20I'll be getting them soon,
00:44:21when I'm through here.
00:44:23Well, you better get them now
00:44:24if you know what's good for you.
00:44:27Horace!
00:44:29Here he is, Mother.
00:44:35I told him, but he wouldn't do it.
00:44:37Mr. Duffy,
00:44:38what about my flowers?
00:44:40Yes, ma'am.
00:44:41I was just going after them.
00:44:43Well, I should think you'd have plenty of time
00:44:45before this.
00:44:46You know, ma'am,
00:44:48the later you pick them,
00:44:49the longer they last.
00:44:51Seems to me that instead of wasting your time
00:44:54building dog houses,
00:44:55you might apply yourself to the garden
00:44:57with better results.
00:44:59Well, since you're feeling that way about it,
00:45:01maybe I ought to tell you,
00:45:02I'm building the house on my own time.
00:45:04You needn't be insolent about it.
00:45:07I don't mean to be insolent, lady.
00:45:09Mr. Duffy,
00:45:12we won't need you here anymore.
00:45:15Well, that's all right.
00:45:17But you know,
00:45:18Mr. Peck, he hired me,
00:45:20and I kind of think
00:45:20it's up to him to fire me.
00:45:22You're discharged!
00:45:23You know, Mrs. Vanderbilt
00:45:24tried to fire me once,
00:45:25but I got to reasonin' with her.
00:45:29In a couple of minutes,
00:45:30she said to me,
00:45:32Duffy, I beg your pardon.
00:45:35Go back to them horses.
00:45:38Now,
00:45:40if you want to apologize.
00:45:48Oh, well.
00:45:50There was no future here anyway.
00:45:55Oh, well.
00:46:23Oh, well.
00:46:24Oh, well.
00:46:24Oh, well.
00:46:25Oh, well.
00:47:25I bet it's about a bush law.
00:47:33A lot of bush law nothing.
00:47:36You don't look anything on you, do you?
00:47:39You don't look anything on you, do you?
00:47:51You don't look anything on you, do you?
00:48:03You don't look anything on you, do you?
00:48:17Well, I'll say one thing for Duffy.
00:48:35He built you a dog house anyway.
00:48:47He got fresh with my mother and she fired him.
00:48:49He's leaving in the morning.
00:48:57Another thing, we miss those cock and bull stories of his.
00:49:01Nobody asked you to come and listen to them.
00:49:03I wouldn't want to waste my time on a tramp like that.
00:49:07Why, you don't see me stuck with 40% in an arithmetic examination.
00:49:13Well, I bet you're doing pretty good for a kid who comes from an orphan asylum.
00:49:23You take that back or I'll suck you one.
00:49:27Why don't you try it?
00:49:33You better learn to duck.
00:49:37Hey, Bill.
00:49:39What is this?
00:49:42Well, this is a fine mess.
00:49:46What's this all about, young man?
00:49:48And I assured Uncle Henry it would be perfectly safe to leave you two alone.
00:49:53I'm ashamed of you.
00:49:55You especially, Horace.
00:49:57You don't know how you hurt Mother.
00:49:59And I thought I could trust you.
00:50:02I'm sorry, Mother.
00:50:03I'm sorry, Uncle Henry.
00:50:09You're all smeared with blood.
00:50:12You're a sight.
00:50:13Go in and wash up.
00:50:14Come, Billy.
00:50:16Well, at least you might be civil to Aunt Lily.
00:50:20Don't, Henry, please.
00:50:22He didn't mean it.
00:50:23Did you, Billy, dear?
00:50:26Why don't you answer?
00:50:29You apologize to Aunt Lily.
00:50:31I won't apologize.
00:50:33Well, what do you mean by that?
00:50:34I won't apologize, that's all.
00:50:36Well, that isn't all.
00:50:40Now, listen.
00:50:41This is serious.
00:50:43Either you do what I say, Bill, or we're through.
00:50:48You wouldn't talk that way to me if...
00:50:51If what?
00:50:52If what?
00:50:54I can't understand you at all anymore.
00:50:57If what?
00:50:58What are you talking about?
00:51:00You're not the boy that I could talk to, man to man.
00:51:06Dad, could I have a little talk with you?
00:51:12Kind of private-like?
00:51:14Now, what is all this privacy about?
00:51:17Aunt Lily is just as much interested in you as I am.
00:51:20Anything you've got to say to me, you can say before her.
00:51:24Oh, what's the use?
00:51:26Don't be stubborn, Billy, dear.
00:51:28Well, what have you got to say for yourself?
00:51:31I'm going to bed.
00:51:32Henry, leave him alone.
00:51:45I'll think of something.
00:51:46I'll think of something.
00:52:16Don't let the king of the day.
00:52:19I'm going to bed.
00:52:20It's a very fig, too.
00:52:21You can't know what to say.
00:52:23I'm going to bed.
00:52:24Uncle John.
00:52:26I'm going to bed!
00:52:28And that's all!
00:52:29You can't go.
00:52:30He's going to bed.
00:52:31I'm going to bed!
00:52:33I'm going to bed!
00:52:35I'm going to bed!
00:52:37I'm going to bed!
00:52:38Say, here's a funny one, can you imagine me there with a moustache?
00:52:55If they don't want me, I don't want them.
00:53:25I don't want them.
00:53:42I don't want them.
00:53:50I don't want them.
00:54:03I don't want them.
00:54:07I don't want them.

00:58:31CAUSE
00:58:32Well, you said I could go with you, didn't you?
00:58:36Sure.
00:58:37Miss Clay said some things to me I didn't like.
00:58:40You didn't see me run away and hang my head.
00:58:42No, sir.
00:58:43I gave her a chance to apologize, and then I walked.
00:58:47Like that.
00:58:53Bill, if you want to be a success in life,
00:58:57don't run away from your problems.
00:58:59Where would Dempsey be if he was afraid of Big Jess Willer?
00:59:03Or Lindbergh be if he was afraid to cross the Atlantic Ocean?
00:59:07Or President Roosevelt if he was afraid to tackle the depression?
00:59:11Come on, Doug. Let's get going.
00:59:24Oh, get out of my kitchen.
00:59:26How dare you talk to me that way?
00:59:28Get out and stay out.
00:59:30Mr. Peck, I'm quitting right now.
00:59:32What's the trouble?
00:59:33Oh, Henry, I'm so sorry.
00:59:35You leave Martha to me.
00:59:36What is it, Martha?
00:59:37If she stays here, I'm going right now.
00:59:39This woman ever since she's been here,
00:59:41there ain't been nothing but trouble, trouble, trouble.
00:59:43What's going on?
00:59:44That's right, ask her.
00:59:45She's running this place.
00:59:47Running you.
00:59:48But she ain't gonna run me.
00:59:50She's even trying to run your own boy out of this house.
00:59:53Oh, Henry, I'm so embarrassed.
00:59:56I don't know what to say.
00:59:58Where's Bill?
01:00:00Why, I don't know Henry.
01:00:03He's up in his room up old.
01:00:05Oh, Bill.
01:00:09Oh, Bill.
01:00:11Good morning, Uncle Henry.
01:00:12Where's Bill?
01:00:13I don't know, Uncle Henry.
01:00:14What's going on here?
01:00:15We changed rooms.
01:00:16When did that happen?
01:00:17By only yesterday, Henry.
01:00:18Why did you do it, Lily?
01:00:19Well, you know, we discussed it yesterday, and you agreed with me that it might do Bill some
01:00:24good if I, uh...
01:00:25I know, but at least you might have let me talk to you.
01:00:28to him about it first.
01:00:29This bed hasn't been slept in.
01:00:30He hasn't been here all night.
01:00:47Oh, where is he from?
01:00:56Where is he? Where could he have gone?
01:00:59Well, there's no sense standing here talking about it.
01:01:05I want you to go, but not to stay.
01:01:09I want you to go back and clean up.
01:01:13Don't you see the belong?
01:01:15The belong?
01:01:17A kid that won't fight for his rights ain't worth his salt.
01:01:22I bet you're running away.
01:01:26He didn't lick me.
01:01:27And I ain't running away because of that, neither.
01:01:30Well, it's certainly going to look like it.
01:01:33Well, you don't believe that, do you, Duff?
01:01:38No.
01:01:40But when Horace tells the gang that he licked you,
01:01:43what are they going to think if you ain't here to defend yourself?
01:01:46Oh, they won't even listen to him.
01:01:49I bet you are running away because Horace licked you.
01:01:53You think so?
01:01:55You think so, Duff?
01:01:56Well, I'll show you.
01:02:05Excelsior!
01:02:07Excelsior!
01:02:08I'll show you.
01:02:09Thanks for the song to me all.
01:02:10Thanks for the song.
01:02:11I'll show you.
01:02:18Come, Emilio.
01:02:20I'm.
01:02:26I'm.
01:02:31I'm.
01:02:36Where ya been? Where were you all night? Your father's lookin' for you. Well, I'm lookin' for you. What do you want? I'll come back here to clean up.
01:03:06What is this, Bill? He started it.
01:03:36Here, here, here. Wait a minute, Lily. Wait a minute. Well, why don't you do something about it? We will do something about it. You take Horace to his own room. Please, Lily.
01:03:45Please, Lily.
01:03:55What's it all about, Bill?
01:04:07What's it all about, Bill? I'm goin' away with Duffy. Oh. Is Duffy going away?
01:04:28Ain't Lily fired him, didn't she? Well, I might decide to rehire him. Oh. Well, I guess the only thing for you to do, then, is to send me back where you got me from.
01:04:47What? What are you talking about? Well, why don't you send me back to the orphan's home?
01:04:56Where on earth did you hear that? Who told ya? That's true, ain't it? Was it Aunt Lily? No. What difference does it make? Well, I wanna know. Did she tell ya?
01:05:11Did she tell ya? No, she didn't. But that's why Horace and me had them fights.
01:05:20Well, there won't be any more fights.
01:05:41Bill. When your mother and I were married, we wanted a baby. A baby boy. And we didn't have one. We got older and were lonely.
01:06:09And then we found you. Well, why don't you pick me out particular? Because the minute we saw you, we knew that you were the one we wanted.
01:06:22Gee, how many kids were in that place? About 50. 50 kids? And you knew right away you wanted me? That's right, son. Gee, Willikers, that's better than being born.
01:06:34Well, you picked me. If I'd have been born regular, you would have had to take me. Even if I was a Chinaman.
01:06:40Or a wild Indian. Yeah.
01:06:45You'll be numptious. Why, Horace. Don't tell me you forgot to die.
01:06:52Oh.
01:06:58And you ain't sorry you picked me?
01:07:01So sorry, but I think you and I are going fishing Saturday.
01:07:05Just you and me?
01:07:07Just you and I.
01:07:09And Duffy.
01:07:10Say, you know, that was a tough break about Butch.
01:07:19Hmm?
01:07:22We needed a big guy on the line.
01:07:25Yeah?
01:07:27Yeah.
01:07:28The capital of Oregon is Salem.
