00:03:04NO THANKS

00:03:05WE'VE BEEN ALL

00:03:06THROUGH THAT THE ROUTINE BEFORE

00:03:07HAVE YOU BEEN

00:03:08TO

00:03:27いう

00:03:29TAG

00:03:29Are you cold?

00:03:31No, not really.

00:03:34Nothing serious.

00:03:37Why didn't you say so?

00:03:39Come on.

00:03:42Let's get some wood and stoke up the furnace.

00:03:59There.

00:04:04It's finished.

00:04:06I'm going to move the left wing.

00:04:08It's closer to the swimming pool.

00:04:10While you're waiting for that wing to be built.

00:04:12Better not let the doctor catch you sitting in that draft.

00:04:15Who told you to get out of bed, young lady?

00:04:17She insisted, doctor.

00:04:18I feel all well again.

00:04:21I think.

00:04:29Perhaps you'd better stay in bed, Margot.

00:04:33Oh.

00:04:35Just a little while longer.

00:04:41We kind of figured she'd be cured by now.

00:04:45It's hard for a child to come with this around here.

00:04:48Climate ain't right, doctor.

00:04:51That's it, Sam.

00:04:53Climate.

00:04:54Dr. Christian.

00:04:54We didn't want to ask you to come down, doctor.

00:05:00But seeing you was here, we thought maybe we could split the call.

00:05:06Of course, Jane.

00:05:07What's wrong with you?

00:05:09It isn't me, doctor.

00:05:12It's the baby we want you to look at.

00:05:14Well, you seem to have been getting enough milk.

00:05:17Oh, all he can hold, doctor.

00:05:19Certified and pasteurized.

00:05:21He's driving on it, but...

00:05:23Isn't it a little expensive?

00:05:25Well, we've been eating a lot of life to make up for it.

00:05:29But the baby don't know, because we tell him we eat downtown in a restaurant.

00:05:33Oh, doctor.

00:05:36Can you see my husband?

00:05:38I'm feeling mighty poor, lately.

00:05:39Oh, can't you see me too, doctor?

00:05:41My kid, this thing looks like bad luck hit us all at once.

00:05:44It'll be even more bad luck when it really...

00:05:47Unless we can do something about it first.

00:05:50Well, let's get to work.

00:05:51Hey, look!

00:06:03We got fluid to know some work.

00:06:05But it didn't work very good.

00:06:07Come on, now beat it, kids.

00:06:08Get out of your office.

00:06:09Maybe this will make you change your mind.

00:06:26There's nothing wrong.

00:06:27That kids are learning to inhale, that's all.

00:06:29Well, now, I told you before that...

00:06:31The answer's still no.

00:06:32On second thought, we accept your offer.

00:06:47Well, come on.

00:06:53Doctor.

00:06:54I brought guests for lunch.

00:06:55Oh, doctor.

00:06:56Why didn't you telephone?

00:06:57My good lace tablecloth is in the laundry.

00:06:58And I only have stew.

00:06:59They'll have stew.

00:07:00They'll have stew.

00:07:01Stew.

00:07:02Gosh.

00:07:03Are you quite sure they're only staying for lunch?

00:07:10I thought Dave here could sleep over at the garage.

00:07:12What about them?

00:07:13I thought maybe you could find someone who'd take them temporarily.

00:07:17Look, if that's the way it is, we'll scram now.

00:07:19Come on, kids.

00:07:20You talk so big this morning, I figured you were boss around here.

00:07:22Keep a simple tongue in your head when you're talking to the doctor, young man.

00:07:23And as for you, come with me.

00:07:24You'll need a lot of washing before you could probably sit at my table.

00:07:28Make yourself at home, Dave.

00:07:33Well, you have to pay for lunch, and you have to pay for lunch.

00:07:35I'm not sure what's going to pay for lunch.

00:07:36No, I'm not sure what you're going to pay for lunch.

00:07:37And I thought Dave here could sleep over at the garage.

00:07:38I'm not sure what you're going to pay for lunch.

00:07:39I thought Dave here could sleep over at the garage.

00:07:41What about them?

00:07:42I thought maybe you could find someone who'd take them temporarily.

00:07:45Look, if that's the way it is, we'll scram now.

00:07:46Come on, kids.

00:07:47You talk so big this morning, I figured you were boss around here.

00:07:50Make yourself at home, Dave.

00:08:05Oh, don't mind me. I forgot it was spring.

00:08:09Judy was just fixing a button.

00:08:11It came off.

00:08:13Don't apologize. That's your idea of a good time.

00:08:16Did you want to make an appointment?

00:08:24Sure. How are you fixed for the night?

00:08:26Say, who do you think... Ouch!

00:08:28Quiet, caveman. You're interrupting a private conversation.

00:08:31You're doing the interrupting.

00:08:33Ours was a pushover for a uniform.

00:08:35Why, you...

00:08:37Oh, you already met.

00:08:39Informally. Fine.

00:08:41Roy, I think Dave is just the man you've been looking for.

00:08:44You know, for the job in your drugstore.

00:08:46Oh, you can't fire me. I quit.

00:08:50As you prefer.

00:08:51I want to speak to you for a minute, Roy.

00:09:03Roy, I want you to get the council together right away.

00:09:06Well, Doctor, this is Saturday afternoon.

00:09:08The only place you'd get a quorum would be on the golf course.

00:09:11Make it there, then.

00:09:12Why, what's up?

00:09:13The squad was Tom Coffin.

00:09:15Oh, so that's where you met that guy.

00:09:19Now, I'm not so sure they deserve help, Doctor.

00:09:21What does the guy have to do around here to get a little nursing?

00:09:26Break a leg?

00:09:28Hard to get, eh?

00:09:29Roy, if you don't back me up, nobody will.

00:09:31All right.

00:09:32Only I wish it didn't mean helping him, too.

00:09:36Tell me, Judy.

00:09:38Oh, you can call me Dave.

00:09:42What makes the doc tick?

00:09:45How come he spent so much time in Squatterstown all for free?

00:09:47That doesn't make any sense to you, does it?

00:09:49No.

00:09:50What's he get out of it?

00:09:51Not a thing.

00:09:53He just happens to think conditions like that shouldn't exist.

00:09:55Try and sell that idea to the guys that are well-heeled.

00:09:58They think this country's fine the way it is.

00:10:01There aren't so many things wrong with it, Doctor Dave.

00:10:03Maybe you don't see it as well as I do, because you were born here.

00:10:07You get a better perspective on America if you live somewhere else first.

00:10:11Do you know what it means?

00:10:12Sure, sure.

00:10:13Life, liberty, and the pursuit of a job.

00:10:14It's a career in itself.

00:10:16I know how important a job is.

00:10:17I think I've got one for you.

00:10:18I need a driver.

00:10:19Oh, Doctor, don't be upset.

00:10:20You don't need a job.

00:10:21I'm the best judge of that.

00:10:22I think this country's fine the way it is.

00:10:24There aren't so many things wrong with it, Doctor Dave.

00:10:27Maybe you don't see it as well as I do, because you were born here.

00:10:30You get a better perspective on America if you live somewhere else first.

00:10:32I'm the best judge of that, Judy.

00:10:34Do you accept?

00:10:35I suppose I work a 23-hour day for a couple of bucks a week.

00:10:40I thought there was an angle behind that missionary stuff a year this morning.

00:10:43Of all the ungrateful...

00:10:44Who's ungrateful?

00:10:45I'm taking it.

00:10:47Lunch.

00:10:51When's payday?

00:10:53Make it Wednesday if you want.

00:10:55You hear that, babe?

00:10:57What are you doing next Wednesday night?

00:11:02Don't forget.

00:11:03I'm Flash Gordon.

00:11:04Okay.

00:11:05I'm Buck Rogers.

00:11:06Spaceship.

00:11:07Ready to take off.

00:11:08Rocket motors ready.

00:11:09Rocket motors ready.

00:11:10Rocket motors ready.

00:11:11Hold on.

00:11:12You little monsters.

00:11:13Find a home for you?

00:11:14I wouldn't wish you on my worst enemy.

00:11:19Or would I?

00:11:20Tell me, dear.

00:11:21Why did you think of me?

00:11:22It came to me immediately.

00:11:24I said to myself, no one but Norma Stewart deserves those little angels.

00:11:28Find a home for you? I wouldn't wish you on my worst enemy. Or would I? Tell me, dear,

00:11:42why did you think of me? It came to me immediately. I said to myself, no one but Norma Stewart

00:11:48deserves those little angels. I bet you it would. Go on, I bet you it wouldn't. Sure

00:11:55not would. Jerry and I tried. I couldn't imagine why you were dropping in after all these years. Really.

00:12:03I don't think I'd have recognized you if it hadn't been for that hat. Thank you, Norma.

00:12:10But tell me, what about the dear children? Oh, I'm really not interested. But you wouldn't

00:12:16have to keep them for long. Besides, they could pay for themselves. Pay for themselves? What

00:12:22do you mean? Well, you know, they could weed the garden, cut the grass, and oh, a lot

00:12:27of things. I wonder. What do you think, Dora? Go on. What's the matter? Scared?

00:12:49It doesn't matter. Amber, I know you'll bizzar. Dora! Dora! Dora! Dora! Dora! Dora! You. You

00:12:56rockin'. You clean up that mess and put that bird that made you found out there. Dora.

00:13:01Dora!

00:13:02Dora!

00:13:13You, you robins.

00:13:16You clean up that mess and put that bird back where you found it.

00:13:21You're to blame for this.

00:13:23You knew what they were like and you deliberately tried to force them off onto me.

00:13:27It's because you're just my beautiful friendship with Dr. Christian.

00:13:31It's our problem as well as theirs.

00:13:35Because Squatterstown is a health menace.

00:13:37We can lick this now if we all get together.

00:13:42Make plans to build low-rank modern apartments.

00:13:45But, Doctor, these people are not like us.

00:13:48The trouble is you don't know these people. You never see them.

00:13:51Look, gentlemen, this argument could go on all afternoon.

00:13:54Now, I've got a bad slice to straighten out.

00:13:56Order!

00:13:57Please!

00:13:59Where would you build this project, Doctor?

00:14:01Right in town.

00:14:03That would solve the transportation problem and help them to get steady jobs.

00:14:07Well, that rules the whole thing out.

00:14:09There isn't any land on the market that's suitable.

00:14:11Johnson's right.

00:14:12Too bad, Doctor.

00:14:14Come on, let's go.

00:14:14Now, wait a minute, wait a minute.

00:14:17What about the empty lot right next to your store, Johnson?

00:14:20Mrs. Stewart's lot?

00:14:21Yes.

00:14:22She'd never give that up.

00:14:23Besides, we can't afford it.

00:14:25Well, the widow's the shrewdest businessman in town.

00:14:27Now, I'm on my...

00:14:28Wait a minute, boys.

00:14:31I think we owe it to Doctor Christian to meet him at least halfway on this.

00:14:35What do you mean?

00:14:37I think we should build these apartments.

00:14:39What?

00:14:40Provided Doctor Christian can get Mrs. Stewart to donate the land.

00:14:47Say, that's a great idea.

00:14:49Second the motion.

00:14:50Carried.

00:14:52Looks like the meeting's adjourned.

00:14:54Well, I'm on my way.

00:14:56Well, what are you going to do now?

00:15:06I'm going to get that land somehow and hold them to the balcony.

00:15:10Oh, operator.

00:15:13Yeah, uh, give me State 4-9.

00:15:19Hello.

00:15:19What are you wrong?

00:15:20Hello, Norma.

00:15:25Oh.

00:15:27Paul.

00:15:31I-I don't know if you're very familiar with Squatterstown.

00:15:34Well, I'm finding out.

00:15:36There are two children here whom your Mrs. Hastings brought.

00:15:42You-you mean you're taking them in?

00:15:44Well, Paul.

00:15:46If you want me to.

00:15:50Norma, I always knew you were a sweet, generous person.

00:15:54Well, you're trying.

00:15:56That chance.

00:15:58I've been trying to buy that lot for years.

00:16:00I think it's wonderful of you.

00:16:02Isn't that soft soap on you?

00:16:04Bert.

00:16:05Mm-hmm.

00:16:05You don't think that-

00:16:06Well, she's always been crazy about him.

00:16:09Of course, Norma.

00:16:10Everybody would love you for it.

00:16:14Yes, Norma.

00:16:16Oh, sure, Norma.

00:16:19All right, Norma.

00:16:21Well, then I'll certainly take the little darlings in.

00:16:24For your sake, Paul.

00:16:27Tonight?

00:16:28Why, of course I'd love to see you.

00:16:31Anytime.

00:16:33Goodbye, now.

00:16:36Till tonight.

00:16:37Come, children, come.

00:16:46Don't be scared, dearie.

00:16:47Yeah.

00:16:48It's all right.

00:16:50You know, I've been thinking, Norma,

00:16:52that perhaps two children would be too much of a burden at your age.

00:16:56It's all settled, dear.

00:16:58Oh, but no, Norma, Dr. Christian is delighted with the arrangement.

00:17:02Perhaps you and I have been alone too much, Dora.

00:17:28Where's Dora?

00:17:28Good night, Norma.

00:17:44You're wasting your time tonight, Doc.

00:17:49But your old dames don't give away valuable property like it was a dime for a cup of coffee.

00:17:54As a matter of fact, you don't give away a dime for a cup of coffee.

00:17:57I don't know, Dave.

00:17:59It's quite a plan.

00:18:00You get the land and the town builds houses.

00:18:03And right away, everybody loves everybody.

00:18:07I'm not counting on everybody.

00:18:09Just on the majority.

00:18:13There isn't a community in this country that won't meet the responsibility if it's pointed out to them clearly.

00:18:24You don't need a driver.

00:18:26You need a keeper.

00:18:31And when the middle-sized beggar saw his boy, he said in his middle-sized voice,

00:18:37somebody's been tasting my forage.

00:18:40But when the little beggar saw him...

00:18:42Good evening, Norma.

00:18:43Paul, you startled me.

00:18:46Why don't you sit down?

00:18:47Yeah.

00:18:55We love it here with Aunt Norma.

00:18:58Hey, that's what I was supposed to say.

00:19:04Maybe we'd better go to bed.

00:19:07We still get the ice cream, don't we?

00:19:17Paul.

00:19:20You must be so lonely in that house with just that woman around.

00:19:24If you only had someone who cared for you to tidy your desk and...

00:19:29I'm not much interested in my personal affairs just now.

00:19:34We've got to do something about the squatter's town problem.

00:19:38Don't let's talk about business.

00:19:40Let's talk about us.

00:19:44Well, this isn't exactly business.

00:19:47You see, I want you to donate your empty lot.

00:19:52Paul, you never treat me like a woman.

00:19:57All my other gentlemen callers have something else to talk about,

00:20:01besides real estate.

00:20:05She probably ain't had a caller in 20 years.

00:20:17Who do you think, Norma?

00:20:24Who do you think, Norma?

00:20:27Here.

00:20:29And who's that?

00:20:30The Ice Man?

00:20:47Well, you thought you could outwit me, did you?

00:20:48Well, you have to get up pretty early to take the worm away from Harry Johnson.

00:21:01You, you philanderer.

00:21:02It's so nice of you to bring the flowers.

00:21:07You thoughtful boy.

00:21:13I think I'm going, Norma.

00:21:16Oh, oh, Paul.

00:21:20Isn't it something I said?

00:21:22I was just trying to.

00:21:24Oh, no, there might be a call for me at the office or something.

00:21:27Good night, Norma.

00:21:50Norma, we've made such a mistake.

00:21:55Always putting us on a business basis.

00:21:59Why, we probably could have settled that little land deal long ago.

00:22:04If only we had realized that our two hearts beat as one.

00:22:07Oh, dry up your weasel.

00:22:09You're not going to get my land.

00:22:11Two hearts beat as one.

00:22:12Well, you started it.

00:22:14You said I was a thoughtful boy.

00:22:16You're a chisler.

00:22:21I'm a chisler, am I?

00:22:22Well, what about Christian?

00:22:24He's only courting you for your land.

00:22:29What?

00:22:34What makes you think he's courting me?

00:22:37Why do you think he came around here acting so coy?

00:22:41It's the talk of the town.

00:22:43How do you like that?

00:22:50I like it fine.

00:22:51What are we waiting for?

00:23:08Let's read them.

00:23:09She said take them straight to Dr. Christian.

00:23:12They'll work five minutes, great.

00:23:15So what?

00:23:16Well...

00:23:17This ain't nothing.

00:23:31There ain't no love stuff.

00:23:33Maybe it's in this then.

00:23:38Aw, dear.

00:23:39It's in writing.

00:23:40Why don't you print so we can read it?

00:23:43We can find out what that says.

00:23:46Hey, lady!

00:23:48What are you doing?

00:23:50Why, you must be the two charity children from Squatterstown.

00:23:54Who told you that?

00:23:56Oh, a little dad told me.

00:23:58Well, you go right back and tell that little bird to stick to her own business.

00:24:04Well, really?

00:24:06That's all right, lady.

00:24:08Can you read?

00:24:10What is this?

00:24:12Never mind.

00:24:13Just tell us what it says.

00:24:14You'll be thanked for this.

00:24:39Opening letters.

00:24:40Meddling in other people's business.

00:24:42Five-star final is out.

00:24:47You said it.

00:24:49Did you hear that about the spanking?

00:24:52Here, you take it.

00:24:53It's hot.

00:24:54I don't want it.

00:24:55Here.

00:25:12I'll get it.

00:25:32I'll get it.

00:25:35Oh, thank you, sir.

00:25:49Hey!

00:25:51I'm delivering that to Judy.

00:25:52I'll see that she gets it.

00:25:53Give me that.

00:25:54Here's the supplies.

00:26:05Hello, Roy.

00:26:08Nothing's the matter.

00:26:09I was only asking.

00:26:12Judy.

00:26:13I was interested in getting your reaction on this project of the doctors.

00:26:19Are you sure all of these squatters are worth it?

00:26:24I suppose if they had any character, they wouldn't be where they are.

00:26:28Well, no.

00:26:29Oh, take this fellow Dave, for instance.

00:26:35Is he going to hang around here forever just because things look soft?

00:26:39Dave has been through a lot, Roy.

00:26:42You shouldn't judge him by outside appearances.

00:26:45Oh, what have you been doing?

00:26:46Ex-raying him?

00:26:47I've made a point of finding out something about him.

00:26:51Last night, he was...

00:26:52I thought you had to work for the doctor last night.

00:26:54I did.

00:26:56But Dave was around and...

00:27:00Oh, Roy.

00:27:01Don't be ridiculous.

00:27:03I am not being ridiculous.

00:27:07I am not.

00:27:17You know, this is a little out of my line, but it's good to pretend you're working hard on payday.

00:27:47There was some mention that on payday, we might, uh...

00:27:51Say, didn't you ask me to go out your first payday?

00:27:56Well, yes.

00:27:59But it's okay by me if you want to call it off.

00:28:03I wouldn't think of letting you get out of it.

00:28:06After my money, eh?

00:28:08Judy, Dave, she's given us the land.

00:28:11Oh, Dr. Christian.

00:28:14Didn't she send any message with us?

00:28:15She specially sent no message, not even a letter.

00:28:24So rich old dames don't give away dying for a cup of coffee, eh, Dave?

00:28:28It don't make sense.

00:28:29There must be a catch in it.

00:28:30Even you could be wrong, Dave.

00:28:32I want you to go down to Squatterstown right away, Dave.

00:28:35Tell them the good news.

00:28:36Okay.

00:28:37Hear the doctor.

00:28:38And as for you children,

00:28:40you're coming down to the doctor's store with me while I talk to Roy.

00:28:43And I'm going to treat you to two of the biggest ice cream sodas you ever saw.

00:28:47Thanks, but I don't think they'd be very good for us.

00:28:51Anyway, we don't like ice cream sodas.

00:28:54We'd better go with Dave.

00:29:00Nothing makes sense anymore.

00:29:03Yes, I'm sure of it.

00:29:04I wonder if he's been hooked.

00:29:06If that letter reads the way we've been told, Dr. Christian wouldn't consider it.

00:29:10Six, toe and even, he will.

00:29:14Roy, I have it.

00:29:16She's given us the lamp.

00:29:18So and even.

00:29:19Congratulations, doctor.

00:29:20Thanks.

00:29:21It must be thrilling.

00:29:22When's the big day, doctor?

00:29:23As soon as possible.

00:29:25Well, this is something that can't wait.

00:29:26You sound pretty eager, doctor.

00:29:30Well, when you wanted to think for years.

00:29:32You needn't tell us, doctor.

00:29:34We understand.

00:29:38I'm sure you'll be very happy together.

00:29:41Thanks.

00:29:43What?

00:29:45What do you mean?

00:29:46Doctor.

00:29:46You don't seem to understand what they're talking about.

00:29:54I don't.

00:29:55You haven't committed yourself on this in any way.

00:29:58Well, I sent Dave to tell the squatters.

00:30:01Roy, what?

00:30:02Then you'd better grab my car and stop him.

00:30:03Come on.

00:30:04Excuse me.

00:30:07You see?

00:30:08I don't care.

00:30:09What is all this?

00:30:10Well, to begin with, you're about to get married.

00:30:16Sure, we'll be glad when we move out of here.

00:30:36It's going to be slow to move.

00:30:41That'll be my room, really, this time.

00:30:43Of course, I may have to change a few details when we work out the budget.

00:30:50Just imagine living in a real house.

00:30:53Oh, you'll get used to it pretty quick.

00:30:55Ruth and I each got a room.

00:30:57Gosh.

00:30:59Those clothes.

00:31:00They're so swell and new looking.

00:31:02What do they feel like?

00:31:04They itch.

00:31:10What's up, Doc?

00:31:11Have you told them, Dave?

00:31:13Yeah.

00:31:15They ain't a hitch in it, is there?

00:31:19I have to tell them to talk.

00:31:21She's been having a bit of fever.

00:31:41It's nothing, Doctor.

00:31:43I'll be all right when we move.

00:31:45Yeah, we'll get that change of climate now.

00:31:48Doctor!

00:31:48Oh, Doctor, we came to thank you.

00:31:52Oh, we never thought you'd do it.

00:31:53Oh, no.

00:31:54I should have done it.

00:31:55We'll meet them all halfway and see if it works out fine all around.

00:32:00Shut up, all of you.

00:32:02Doctor Christian has something to say to you.

00:32:04What is it, Doctor?

00:32:23What is it, Doctor?

00:32:31Just this.

00:32:33I'm going to do everything I can to see that your new homes are rushed through in record time.

00:32:39Come on, you're getting the whole works on this date.

00:32:56A movie and a soda.

00:32:57Well, or is the drugstore too public a place for you to be seen with me?

00:33:03I'd love a soda.

00:33:09Rather crowded, isn't it?

00:33:13Hello, Judy.

00:33:14Hello, Mrs. Morris.

00:33:15Hello, Roi.

00:33:30Hey, Doc.

00:33:31A tilk.

00:33:32I hardly touched it.

00:33:34Give me another slug.

00:33:37Hello, Roy.

00:33:38Hiya, pal.

00:33:44He chilled me.

00:33:46I'm going to make him pay for that.

00:33:50Oh, Dave.

00:33:51Come back here.

00:34:02Two nickels for a dime.

00:34:08Hey, I'm not through yet.

00:34:16Okay, boy.

00:34:17Now, watch carefully.

00:34:18Hmm.

00:34:38Hey, that's up there, boy.

00:34:49Boy, what a jockey.

00:34:50How they come in on the stretch.

00:34:56What a shame.

00:34:57He's just a boy.

00:34:59Shame?

00:35:00Well, pinball leads to gambling and gambling leads to theft.

00:35:04And, well, if I were Judy, I'd watch my step.

00:35:07Oh, but she couldn't be serious about him.

00:35:13Oh, that's our house, boy.

00:35:16Here comes Big Joe.

00:35:17Knuckle it.

00:42:56only you've been making me feel like such a heel

00:43:03well it'd be a big load off my mind if you did something wrong once

00:43:07I've been thinking about what I said before

00:43:12I was wrong

00:43:14a lot of it was my fault

00:43:18mind you those stuff shirts are still strictly no good

00:43:21but that's not the point

00:43:24the point is that

00:43:26I'm sorry I

00:43:46an inspiration

00:43:47I might but I won't

00:43:50anyway

00:43:51I've got a plan to swing this housing thing

00:43:59well

00:44:04well

00:44:05don't say I didn't warn you

00:44:06well

00:44:16the river's end gets a load of this

00:44:19well

00:44:21well

00:44:22well

00:44:23well

00:44:44The End

00:45:14I brought this along.

00:45:16Silly.

00:45:44What is this?

00:45:46Who are you?

00:45:48You never saw us before, did you, Bud?

00:45:50This is Squatter's Town.

00:45:52Well, what's it doing here?

00:45:53Why don't you get back to that mud hole where you belong?

00:45:56Oh, our country place.

00:45:58We're tired of that.

00:46:00We decided to spend a few months in our townhouse.

00:46:02You're trespassing.

00:46:03That's funny.

00:46:04I was about to say the same thing to you.

00:46:07But let's ask the man who owns the land.

00:46:09You're going to throw us off your lot, Doc?

00:46:11So you're behind this.

00:46:16This dump stays right here next to your store, Johnson, until the council cleans it up by voting on housing project.

00:46:22We're licked, Johnson.

00:46:23We have to do it.

00:46:24We can't leave this mess here.

00:46:26Let's call a meeting right away.

00:46:27He's back in the motion.

00:46:28Hurry.

00:46:28Come on.

00:46:30You're not going to get away with this.

00:46:33That's the fastest job of meeting calling I ever saw.

00:46:35They just never knew what hit him.

00:46:37I wish I was going to be there with you, Doc, to see the fun.

00:46:40Was this stunned you, I, Theo?

00:46:43Sure.

00:46:43What's the matter, Doc?

00:46:44They're licked, ain't they?

00:46:46Well, they're licked for the moment, and we're licked for good.

00:46:48I wanted these people to live in Riversend, not just have houses here.

00:46:54I was trying to create understanding, not bitterness.

00:46:58Right now, Squatter's Town is further away from Riversend, and it was out there beyond the town limits.

00:47:05Oh, Dr. Christian, I don't want to bother you, but Martha, she's, she's all sick again.

00:47:11Where is she, Anna?

00:47:12Oh, here.

00:47:14I knew you were trying to help me.

00:47:25Now, let's have a big ah.

00:47:29Ah.

00:47:33Does the light bother you, Martha?

00:47:34It's so bright.

00:47:36Don't be silly, Martha.

00:47:37It's just a teeny-weeny light.

00:47:53Martha, don't be such a crybaby.

00:47:56She's usually so bright.

00:47:59I'm afraid she's just as brave as ever.

00:48:02What is it, Doctor?

00:48:03We'll do a spine and puncture before we can be passed to you about anything.

00:48:10Come on, Dowdy.

00:48:11Stop stalling Johnson.

00:48:12Let's vote the project and get it over with.

00:48:14Listen to this.

00:48:16Whereas, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:48:18Now, it shall be within the authority of the town council to condemn and order the police to remove any structures, habitations, et cetera, et cetera, that the health commissioner shall declare to be a health menace.

00:48:34There you are.

00:48:35How many times have we heard Christian say, and right in this room, that those shanties are health menace?

00:48:40Certainly.

00:48:41He's right.

00:48:41That's right.

00:48:42Gentlemen, our civic duty is clear.

00:48:45We'll just have to throw them out.

00:48:47Wait a minute.

00:48:48Shouldn't we consult Dr. Christian about this?

00:48:50Certainly not.

00:48:52All we have to do is find the chief and a couple of deputies.

00:48:55There might be trouble.

00:48:55Wait.

00:48:57There won't be any trouble unless we make it.

00:48:59Let the doctor...

00:48:59Aye, move the question.

00:49:00All in favor?

00:49:01Aye.

00:49:02Aye.

00:49:02Motion passed.

00:49:03Now, let's find the chief.

00:49:04Don't get rattled, anybody.

00:49:28He's just trying to scare us.

00:49:29We'll show if we've got our rights.

00:49:31Aye, aye, aye.

00:49:33Aye, aye, aye.

00:49:34Aye, aye, aye.

00:49:41You folks will have to move those shacks out of here.

00:49:43Sorry, chief.

00:49:44We're sticking.

00:49:45This is private property.

00:49:47That don't make any difference.

00:49:48The law says this dump is a menace, and we've got to clean it up.

00:49:52I'm giving you just five minutes to get started.

00:50:04Looks like we've got to fight for it, boys.

00:50:05Sure.

00:50:06Well, it's pretty hard to lick the law, Dave.

00:50:07If we give up now, we're back in that swamp forever.

00:50:08Well, it's lucky we brought some extra lumber.

00:50:09Children!

00:50:10Children!

00:50:11Children!

00:50:12Children!

00:50:13Children!

00:50:14Children!

00:50:15It's gonna be a fight.

00:50:16Okay.

00:50:17It's gonna be a fight.

00:50:19It's gonna be a fight.

00:50:21It's gonna be a fight.

00:50:23It's gonna be a fight.

00:50:56All right, man.

00:51:26Hey, I want you to tell everybody that chief there's a child in there with spinal meningitis, but what doesn't sound serious to me, doctor, it's just a stall.

00:51:56Let's get back.

00:51:58I should have said epidemic spinal meningitis.

00:52:01What's that?

00:52:02It's a highly contagious disease with a high mortality rate.

00:52:06The single case may spread rapidly over the whole district, especially if there are unsanitary conditions, overcrowding, malnutrition, and excessive dampness.

00:52:18Chief?

00:52:20Yes, doctor.

00:52:21I want this entire section put under a strict quarantine.

00:52:25No one is to leave or enter it.

00:52:27The safety of the whole town depends on you and your men.

00:52:31All right, man.

00:52:35You heard what the doctor said.

00:52:37Clear the crowd away.

00:52:38We'll throw a barricade up here.

00:52:39Get back.

00:52:40Everybody, break it up, break it up.

00:52:44Have you seen those corrupt necks of mine?

00:52:46I'm sorry, lady.

00:52:47Back up, please.

00:52:48Come on.

00:52:49Get back, everybody.

00:52:50We're sorry you're sick.

00:52:53We could give you a present.

00:52:56It would make you feel any better.

00:52:58Thanks.

00:53:02We found it in Mrs. Stewart's bathroom.

00:53:05Gee, it's swell.

00:53:07Hey!

00:53:12Get away from them.

00:53:14Come over here.

00:53:16You kids want to catch that stuff?

00:53:19Get them out of here, Dave.

00:53:21Hey, wait a minute.

00:53:22These kids were playing on that bed a couple of days ago.

00:53:27Have you been feeling sick?

00:53:29No.

00:53:30Huh?

00:53:31Stiff neck or anything?

00:53:32Well...

00:53:34Well, answer them, have you?

00:53:35Don't shout so, Dave.

00:53:37Come here.

00:53:40Ow!

00:53:46As soon as I heard there was trouble, I knew you'd be in it.

00:53:48Come along.

00:53:49That normal will take care of you.

00:53:55I'm sorry, but it's Dr. Christian's order.

00:53:57But he's the man who pulled this trick, you imbecile!

00:54:01What?

00:54:03Hey, come back here!

00:54:05Get back, everybody.

00:54:06Don't worry about it.

00:54:07Don't worry about it.

00:54:08What are you trying to pull, Christian?

00:54:10These people are very sick, Johnson.

00:54:11It's meningitis.

00:54:13You don't expect me to believe that.

00:54:15They're getting off this land.

00:54:17Everybody that's been exposed to the infection stays right here,

00:54:19and that goes for you, too.

00:54:21Me? Well, what do you mean?

00:54:22You're quarantined.

00:54:23Why, that's ridiculous.

00:54:24I won't stand for it.

00:54:25Why?

00:54:26I'll stay.

00:54:27This meningitis, it's just a kid's disease, isn't it?

00:54:28Hartley.

00:54:29It hits all ages and classes.

00:54:31I'll stay.

00:54:33I'll stay.

00:54:35I'll stay.

00:54:37This meningitis, it's just a kid's disease, isn't it?

00:54:39Hartley.

00:54:40It hits all ages and classes.

00:54:43Looks like a good show.

00:54:57It looks like a good show. I was just thinking about the epidemic. They say there's three

00:55:14new cases tonight. Well let's go see what's happening. All right. So what they've had

00:55:22epidemic in squatters town before. But we didn't know about it. Well if we're going let's go now or we won't get near enough to see a thing.

00:55:52It's beautiful here.

00:56:14I'm going to move just like you do. Gee. She thinks she's moved. So silly. We ought to pull the curtains. The curtains. Yes dear.

00:56:44The sun. The sun's gone. There's nothing to worry about dear. I just pulled the curtain. And you will be well very soon. I won't be.

00:57:01Dr. Christian. Dr. Please. All right. Let's go in.

00:57:17He's cutting a tooth. That's what made him cry.

00:57:33I never saw a healthier baby. There's anything we can do to help doctor.

00:57:53It's a tough break for those people. It's not our fault. We didn't make them live in those dirty shacks. I didn't say we did did I? It's not really our responsibility. No. They're not part of our town. Or at least they weren't.

00:58:23All right. Clear the way everybody. Shut the clock. Let him prove it. All right. Come through here.

00:58:44Well look at Roy will you. I bet he's getting some business out of this.

00:58:50How much could you get Roy? Plenty of sulfanilamide. There isn't enough serum but they're rushing more. Good work Roy. Treat her first Judy. Dave. Get the hypodermic sterilized. Dave tell everybody they have to be inoculated. Right. Johnson. Johnson would you get some alcohol and cotton and prepare the people over there for inoculation.

00:59:15Do you mean me? Why shouldn't he mean you? Well I. That kind of work. It's not dignified. Dignified. Who do you think is responsible for this? We neglected these people because they were around the bend. We didn't see them. We didn't even think about them. We didn't have to do anything about them. The only dignified thing around here is the patience of these people.

00:59:43He's got something there. You've got something there. You've got something there. You know I'd like to do something for those people. So would I. We don't know what's good for this men and men and whatever it is. My chicken broth is good for everything.

01:00:13We could use some new ones anyway. That's right. Must be about seven cases already. Too bad the hospital isn't finished yet. Well I feel I'd vote for that housing project. Come up right now. Well we can't very well do anything about it. Right now. I suppose not. Not officially.

01:00:43Well so long fellas.

01:00:47We're all ready for you. I'll take the kids first. Come on down.

01:00:50All right. Up we go. Up in.

01:00:52All right. Up we go. Up in.

01:00:53All right. Up we go. Up in.

01:00:54Yeah. Give me an easy bitch.

01:01:10Hey we ought to clean this dump up before Christian gets here. Good idea.

01:01:14What about George well.

01:01:40Well, as we all feel the same, let's do something official in a non-official way.

01:02:10THE END

01:02:40THE END

01:03:10I thought you said you didn't like ice cream.

01:03:17I thought you said you didn't like ice cream.

01:03:24Hello, Judy.

01:03:31Dave and I have been talking about the children.

01:03:35They're going to stay with me.

01:03:38Yeah, the kids have developed kind of a mother complex.

01:03:44This has made me realize I want to devote my life to them and to no one else.

01:03:51Oh, it's hard.

01:03:58But you still have your work.

01:04:01And in a few months, you'll have forgotten us.

01:04:04Yes, I can bury myself in my work.

01:04:11But I don't think I could ever forget us.

01:04:18I'll let you know where to send my closing check, Doc.

01:04:25So long, Keith.

01:04:28Goodbye, Ruthie.

01:04:32So you're quitting me?

01:04:34Sure, I don't have to stay around here and let you exploit me now that I've got the kids off my neck.

01:04:42Goodbye, Dave.

01:04:43Goodbye, Doc.

01:04:44I just want to say I misjudged you, Dave.

01:04:49I know now you're someone that I can admire and trust.

01:04:52Far be it from me to destroy such a beautiful face.

01:04:56Say, is that the drugstore burning?

01:05:14I wouldn't worry about him now.

01:05:16There isn't even any smoke.

01:05:44He wants me to do the thing that I want.

01:05:45There's a pain for him to destroy.

01:05:46Well, you'll be there tonight.

01:05:47Sorry.

01:05:48Take the head up.

01:05:49Good job, Dave.

01:05:50Good job, Dave.

01:05:53Good job.

01:05:54With the light bulb and your drive, drag away.

01:06:00Yeah, you should move away, Lukehart.

01:06:02So the stabbing, push through the door.

01:06:06Oh, that's fantastic.

01:06:09You should have ate runs.
