00:00:30THE END
00:01:00THE END
00:01:06THE END
00:01:10THE END
00:01:12Good morning, Mr. Madison.
00:01:25Hello, Freddy.
00:01:26How's business?
00:01:27Just fine.
00:01:28Saved up enough to buy our new catcher's mitt.
00:01:30Good.
00:01:30Wait a minute.
00:01:32Get yourself a new baseball, too.
00:01:35Oh, gee.
00:01:36Say, thanks, Mr. Madison.
00:01:38Thanks a lot.
00:01:38Forget it.
00:01:42Good morning, Minnie.
00:02:06Breakfast ready?
00:02:08I'm doing the best I can.
00:02:10I only got two hands.
00:02:11All right, all right, all right.
00:02:15Won't be long.
00:02:17Hungry, John?
00:02:18You bet.
00:02:19Oh, Minnie.
00:02:21You might go up and wake Miss Marianne.
00:02:25Be sure you do it gently.
00:02:27You know how nervous she is.
00:02:28Yes, son.
00:02:29I found that out.
00:02:35Be sure and make them nice and brown, will you, Mother?
00:02:37I've been making them brown for 27 years.
00:02:41Oh.
00:02:45Morning, Minnie.
00:02:46You little ruffin.
00:02:48Frightening the daylights out of a person so early in the morning.
00:02:51Well, why don't you look where you're going?
00:02:53You ought to be ashamed of yourself.
00:02:55And if I was your mother, I'd take you over my knee and land the daylights out of you.
00:02:59Oh, you would, would you?
00:03:00I just love to see you.
00:03:01Yes, I would.
00:03:01Breakfast ready.
00:03:07Oh, Minnie.
00:03:11Oh, dear, I don't think I'm a bit well this morning.
00:03:15Hmm.
00:03:15Then you don't want no breakfast.
00:03:17Wait a minute, Minnie.
00:03:19Perhaps a little breakfast would be good for me.
00:03:22Will you bring it up to me on a tray like a darling?
00:03:25Not me, I won't.
00:03:26I ain't hired to run up and down stairs for the likes of you.
00:03:30Minnie, you're being impertinent.
00:03:31Hmm.
00:03:40Hmm.
00:03:41There.
00:03:42How dare you?
00:03:43Well, you're nothing but a stupid, common, ignorant...
00:03:45But don't you call me no name.
00:03:47I don't have to stand for nothing from you.
00:03:49Hmm.
00:03:50Hmm.
00:03:51Hmm.
00:03:51Hmm.
00:04:02Hmm.
00:04:03Hmm.
00:04:03Certainly do smell good, Mother.
00:04:04Hmm.
00:04:06Hmm.
00:04:09Minnie, where are you going?
00:04:10Home.
00:04:11What's the matter?
00:04:12I'm just as good as she is and maybe better.
00:04:16She can't insult me that way and get away with it.
00:04:19Do you mean to say you'll upset Miss Marianne again?
00:04:21Upset her?
00:04:23I'd like to let her have one.
00:04:26Oh, come on now, Minnie.
00:04:28Don't let it throw you.
00:04:29Marianne don't mean no harm, and I'm sure you don't neither.
00:04:34Oh, I don't see why a poor girl has to take insults.
00:04:39Just because she has to go out and earn her own living.
00:04:42There, there.
00:04:43Now, Minnie, don't worry.
00:04:44Everything will be fixed up.
00:04:46Oh.
00:04:48Well.
00:04:50All right.
00:04:52This once.
00:04:53But the next time...
00:04:54There won't be any next time.
00:04:58Well.
00:04:59All right, Mr. Madison.
00:05:01Hmm.
00:05:05I'll be bringing them in.
00:05:06Hmm.
00:05:06Hmm.
00:05:12So, young man, you finally decided to get up, eh?
00:05:18Sure.
00:05:20Hey, Minnie, how about my pancakes?
00:05:22Oh.
00:05:24If you yell like that, I won't give you nothing.
00:05:26Please, dear Minnie, may I have some pancakes?
00:05:34I've got cooking them.
00:05:40There's the mail.
00:05:42I'll get it.
00:05:47Hello, Hedrich.
00:05:48Morning, Mr. Riley.
00:05:50There you are.
00:05:50Hey, there's something on your heel.
00:05:55No, the other one.
00:05:58Ah, go on with it.
00:06:11There.
00:06:13Thank you, Minnie darling.
00:06:15I'll get it.
00:06:22John, here's a letter to Mamie.
00:06:24What does she say?
00:06:25Be quiet and let Mother read.
00:06:27Well, don't you want me to be interested in my old sister?
00:06:30Hedrich.
00:06:33Oh.
00:06:35No bad news, Mother.
00:06:38Sam's lost his job.
00:06:40I always said he was dumb.
00:06:42Shh.
00:06:45Oh, what a pity.
00:06:49And the baby coming any time now.
00:06:54They're coming here to live.
00:06:58Till Sam gets on his feet.
00:07:08But they got no other place to go.
00:07:13Oh, well.
00:07:15We'll get along somehow.
00:07:26Morning, Daddy.
00:07:27Good morning.
00:07:28Hi, Mumsy.
00:07:29Hi, dear.
00:07:30Hi, Laura.
00:07:31Good morning.
00:07:32Oh, Minnie.
00:07:33Miss Marianne's here.
00:07:37What am I supposed to do?
00:07:39Celebrate?
00:07:40Young man.
00:07:41Oh.
00:07:41Oh.
00:07:43Young man.
00:07:55For heaven's sake, Hedrich.
00:07:57Can't you make less noise?
00:07:59I was doing an imitation.
00:08:00Didn't you get it?
00:08:02Get what?
00:08:03I was doing an imitation of the way you sounded last night when you was kissing on the front porch.
00:08:09You little liar.
00:08:17I ain't a liar.
00:08:19I thought Wade left before we went to bed.
00:08:23He did.
00:08:23Well, then, who was...
00:08:26I thought you and Wade were practically engaged.
00:08:29What?
00:08:30Wade and I engaged?
00:08:32I should say not.
00:08:34Can you imagine me married to that big cat?
00:08:36He's very successful.
00:08:37He's got the biggest insurance business in town.
00:08:39Who was on the front porch with you last night?
00:08:46I'll tell you who it was.
00:08:47It was Dick Lindley.
00:08:50And he asked her to marry him, too.
00:08:55Dick.
00:08:56Well, I never.
00:08:59Is it true?
00:09:01I engaged to Dick.
00:09:02Nobody said I was engaged.
00:09:05He asked me to marry him.
00:09:06My goodness, the girl's got to do something for excitement in this one-horse town.
00:09:23Well, I've got to be getting down to the office.
00:09:25Goodbye, everybody.
00:09:26Bye.
00:09:27Oh, Daddy.
00:09:30Daddy.
00:09:30Hi.
00:09:31You've just got to give me $50.
00:09:35$50?
00:09:36What for?
00:09:39Oh, they're having the most marvelous sale at Obermeyer's.
00:09:42That is, for $50.
00:09:43Reduced from $97.
00:09:45It's such a bargain.
00:09:49I'd like to, Marianne.
00:09:54I just can't afford it.
00:09:57I haven't got it.
00:09:59Please, Daddy.
00:10:01I know, but Amy and Sam are coming back on our hands now, and I've got to figure out...
00:10:05Well, they're coming back, eh?
00:10:07I see.
00:10:08Plenty of money for Amy and Sam and everybody in this family but me.
00:10:12I never have a thing.
00:10:13I'm actually ashamed of go places.
00:10:21Well, if you want it as bad as all that, I guess I can manage.
00:10:24Stop it.
00:10:25Stop it at the office.
00:10:27I'll give it to you.
00:10:28Thanks, Daddy.
00:10:29You're an angel.
00:10:32Yeah.
00:10:39Bye.
00:10:39Darling, wait downstairs.
00:11:08Oh, heavens, whatever possessed him to come tonight.
00:11:12Well, I guess he doesn't know about Vic.
00:11:13You've got to tell him.
00:11:14Of course not.
00:11:14You haven't said anything, have you?
00:11:16Not a word.
00:11:17Well, don't.
00:11:18It's pretty.
00:11:20It has got a nice line.
00:11:22Carry it well, don't you think?
00:11:23Yes, indeedy.
00:11:24And Mumsy, look.
00:11:26Bought new shoes, too.
00:11:27You didn't.
00:11:27Of course I did.
00:11:28Had to have new shoes to go with a new dress.
00:11:30I charged them to father.
00:11:32You shouldn't have done it.
00:11:33But they are pretty.
00:11:34Hello, and how are you?
00:11:44Gosh, you look pretty.
00:11:46Is that a new dress?
00:11:48This?
00:11:48Oh, as a matter of fact, I think it is.
00:11:50Do you like it?
00:11:51Swell.
00:11:52Ought to be.
00:11:53It costs $50.
00:11:54Sorrow.
00:11:54How about the movies, Mary Ann?
00:11:57Got a swell show down at the palace.
00:11:59Oh, I don't think so.
00:12:00If you don't mind, I'd rather stay home with the family.
00:12:03I see so little of them.
00:12:05Well, what do you know about that?
00:12:08I know a lot about it.
00:12:09She's got another date.
00:12:10You have?
00:12:11Oh, he doesn't know what he's talking about.
00:12:14Oh, I don't, huh?
00:12:15I suppose if Dick Lilly was to walk in here now, it would just be a coincidence.
00:12:20Father, will you make Hedrick mind his own business?
00:12:22Hedrick.
00:12:23Yes, Father.
00:12:24Come on, Wade.
00:12:24I'll teach you to play backgammon.
00:12:26Oh, no.
00:12:26I'm no good at games.
00:12:28It's all the rage in the East.
00:12:29Everyone who is anyone is learning to play backgammon.
00:12:34Answer that, will you, Hedrick?
00:12:36Oh, answer it yourself.
00:12:37Hedrick.
00:12:38All right.
00:12:40I do all the dirty work for the whole family.
00:12:42She never does a darn thing for nobody.
00:12:48Hello, Doc.
00:12:49Hello, Hedrick.
00:12:51Well, how's the boy?
00:12:52Oh, fair to middle.
00:12:54Oh, so they finally caught those fellas in Cincinnati.
00:12:57Is that so?
00:12:58Hello, everybody.
00:12:59Hello, Dick.
00:13:00How's the doctor business, Richard?
00:13:02Oh, fine, Mr. Madison.
00:13:03Hello, Marianne.
00:13:04Hello, Dick.
00:13:06Well, what's this?
00:13:07Backgammon, you go on play.
00:13:09No, I'm no good at games.
00:13:11See, there's a good picture at the palace.
00:13:12Wouldn't you like to go?
00:13:13Why, uh, no thanks, Dick.
00:13:15I, I've got a bit of a headache.
00:13:16Oh, I'm sorry.
00:13:18But I'll tell you what I would like.
00:13:20A breath of fresh air.
00:13:21Let's take a little walk.
00:13:23Sure.
00:13:24You won't mind, will you, Wade?
00:13:28No, not a bit.
00:13:30Anyway, Laura will be here in a minute.
00:13:32Night, Eddie.
00:13:32Night.
00:13:33Bye.
00:13:34We'll be back soon.
00:13:35Bye, Dick.
00:13:36Bye, Henry.
00:13:37Darling, I thought you might need me.
00:13:39Oh, thanks, Nancy.
00:13:40You're a dear.
00:13:41Hello, Dick.
00:13:42Hello, Miss Madison.
00:13:43Have a good time.
00:13:44Oh, we will a lot.
00:13:47Hello, Laura.
00:13:48Hello, Dick.
00:13:49Haven't seen you for a long time.
00:13:52Oh, well, I've been sort of busy.
00:13:53You know how it is.
00:13:55I guess doctors are kind of busy.
00:13:58Well, they certainly are in this town.
00:14:01Well, I'm all ready.
00:14:03All right.
00:14:03Night, Laura.
00:14:04Night.
00:14:05Good night, Laura.
00:14:11Let's go to the movies, after all.
00:14:18Sure.
00:14:18Anything you say.
00:14:23That's Wade's car, isn't it?
00:14:25Yeah, I think it is.
00:14:26Well, where's yours?
00:14:28Well, I'm sorry, Marianne.
00:14:30I let my kid brother have it tonight.
00:14:31Oh, I hate to ride in a bus.
00:14:33Well, if I'd known that...
00:14:34Oh, all right.
00:14:35Come on.
00:14:36I'm sorry, Marianne.
00:14:37I didn't think you'd mind.
00:14:38You know, Miss Madison,
00:14:39you're looking younger every day.
00:14:40Now, Wade.
00:14:41Yes, you are.
00:14:42Father, wouldn't you rather read in the dining room
00:14:44the light so much better in there?
00:14:46What?
00:14:48Oh, yes.
00:14:49Yes, yes.
00:14:50The light is much better.
00:14:52Come on, Hedrick.
00:14:53Up you go.
00:14:54I don't want to go to bed yet.
00:14:56Oh, yes, you do.
00:14:57And anyway, you're going.
00:15:01You'll excuse me.
00:15:02I have some sewing to do.
00:15:03Good night.
00:15:04Good night, Miss Madison.
00:15:07They're certainly worried.
00:15:09Worried?
00:15:11About what?
00:15:12About marrying me off.
00:15:14Oh, that ought to be easy.
00:15:15You'd be surprised.
00:15:17Oh, gosh.
00:15:17I think you'd make some fellow a swell wife.
00:15:20Would you now?
00:15:21Yeah.
00:15:22Well, that's awfully sweet of you, Wade.
00:15:24The really swell one around here is Marianne.
00:15:27You're in love with her, aren't you?
00:15:30Oh, gosh.
00:15:31I guess most of the gang is,
00:15:32and I'm no different than any of the rest.
00:15:35I think you'd know enough by now
00:15:37when to leave the girls alone.
00:15:39It's going to be hard enough getting Laura married.
00:15:42I don't want to get Laura married.
00:15:44I don't want to get any of our children married.
00:15:47I kind of like having them right here.
00:15:50How would you like to play something for me?
00:15:52Well, see if I can.
00:15:54Haven't played for a long time.
00:16:01Now, what would you like?
00:16:02Oh, play anything.
00:16:03I don't care.
00:16:03I guess Dick's in love with Marianne, too, huh?
00:16:14He's one of the gang.
00:16:18Is Marianne in love with Dick?
00:16:23I guess so, Wade.
00:16:24What's the matter?
00:16:38Oh, nothing, only...
00:16:40Only it's my head.
00:16:42I'm so tired.
00:16:44Would you mind awfully if I went to bed?
00:16:46No, not a bit.
00:16:48I'm sorry you don't feel well.
00:16:50Thanks, Wade.
00:16:53I'll be all right.
00:16:54Sure.
00:16:56You just take some aspirin or something.
00:16:59It's the best thing in the world for you.
00:17:01Always fixes me up.
00:17:03Well, good night.
00:17:04Good night.
00:17:24Well, you'll let me see what's in that book.
00:17:37Well, you'll let me see what's in that book.
00:17:50Curiosity killed the cat.
00:17:52Oh, don't be so mean.
00:17:54Let me see.
00:17:55Go to bed.
00:17:58Just one little look?
00:18:00You go to bed.
00:18:01All right.
00:18:04Good night.
00:18:06Good night.
00:18:12Say, Laura.
00:18:13Now what?
00:18:15There's something I don't understand.
00:18:18Yes?
00:18:18Here's Wade in love with Mary Ann.
00:18:22And Dick in love with Mary Ann.
00:18:24And you in love with Dick.
00:18:26Good night, Hedrick.
00:18:28All right.
00:18:29I'm going.
00:18:29All right.
00:18:30All right.
00:18:30I'm going.
00:18:32I like that Mickey Mouse.
00:19:01You know, if we hurry, we can catch the 10 o'clock bus.
00:19:07That'll be just as well.
00:19:10I'm sort of tired.
00:19:11You know, I had a busy day today.
00:19:13Yeah, right.
00:19:14Come on.
00:19:15All right.
00:19:19Hey.
00:19:20Hey, look.
00:19:20Hey, wait a minute.
00:19:22Oh, gee.
00:19:24Maybe the next time you take me out,
00:19:26show a little brother a permitter to use your car.
00:19:29Sorry, Mary Ann.
00:19:30There'll be another one along in half an hour.
00:19:32And in the meantime?
00:19:34Quick, Robert, have a soda.
00:19:35Yes.
00:19:36Well, say.
00:19:37Say, you're in a hurry, aren't you?
00:19:40No.
00:19:41I've got lots of time.
00:19:46For a moment, I didn't recognize you.
00:19:49When did you get to town?
00:19:50Why, uh, just yesterday.
00:19:53I haven't had a chance to look you up.
00:19:55You don't know Dr. Lindley, do you?
00:19:57Uh, Dr. Lindley, this is Mr., um, uh.
00:20:01I didn't get the name?
00:20:02Uh, Corliss.
00:20:03Oh, how do you do?
00:20:05Glad to meet you.
00:20:06Hey, you.
00:20:08You can't park in the middle of the street.
00:20:10Move on.
00:20:11I'm practically moving.
00:20:12Well, since you nearly ran me down,
00:20:14the least you can do is drive me home.
00:20:16Save you the trouble, Dick.
00:20:18Coming all the way out to the house
00:20:19and then back into town again.
00:20:20Well, I don't mind the bed.
00:20:22Oh, but you said you were tired.
00:20:23Hey, you.
00:20:25Are you going to get going
00:20:26or do you want me to give you a ticket?
00:20:28Here we go.
00:20:29Call me tomorrow, Dick.
00:20:31Good night, Lindley.
00:20:32See you again.
00:20:33Well...
00:20:34That, if I may say so,
00:20:45was very neatly done.
00:20:47There was nothing exactly wrong
00:20:48with your cooperation.
00:20:50Do you belong here?
00:20:53That, if I may say so,
00:20:55was very neatly done.
00:20:57There was nothing exactly wrong
00:20:58with your cooperation.
00:21:02Do you belong here?
00:21:04Where?
00:21:05In this town.
00:21:06Well, I live here,
00:21:08but I don't belong.
00:21:10I get it.
00:21:13What's yours?
00:21:13What's yours?
00:21:16Marianne Madison.
00:21:17What's yours?
00:21:18Corliss.
00:21:19Val Corliss.
00:21:21Pleased to meet you.
00:21:23I assure you,
00:21:24the pleasure is mine.
00:21:28Here's where we turn.
00:21:29On the right.
00:21:31Very good, madam.
00:21:32Last stop, all out.
00:21:43No, not all.
00:21:45Just me.
00:21:46Oh, why?
00:21:47Well, the family's probably still up.
00:21:49How could I explain you?
00:21:51We met.
00:21:53We met.
00:21:53Where?
00:21:54I don't know.
00:21:55Where have you been?
00:21:56Very few places.
00:21:58You ever been to New York?
00:21:59Nope.
00:22:00Chicago?
00:22:01Not even.
00:22:03Columbus?
00:22:04Yes, I've been to Columbus.
00:22:05No, when?
00:22:06Last spring.
00:22:07Well, fine.
00:22:08That's where we met then,
00:22:09you and I.
00:22:10For springtime in Columbus and...
00:22:12We met at the Hudson.
00:22:13The Hudson?
00:22:14Friends, the family.
00:22:15I stayed with them.
00:22:16Hurrah for the Hudson.
00:22:17You know, the Hudson's are awfully nice people.
00:22:20They really are.
00:22:22They certainly were when they introduced me to you.
00:22:29Well, good night.
00:22:32Good night.
00:22:34Will you call me tomorrow?
00:22:37Every hour on the hour.
00:22:41Perhaps you'll come to dinner.
00:22:43Well, now, don't tell me you cook, too.
00:22:46If the family depended on me for that,
00:22:48they'd starve to death.
00:22:51Well, good night.
00:22:57Well, say, wait a minute.
00:22:59You didn't give me your phone number.
00:23:01Well, you wouldn't remember,
00:23:02but it's in the book.
00:23:04Madison's the name.
00:23:05John Madison.
00:23:06Thanks.
00:23:09Good night.
00:23:10Good night.
00:23:11Oh, boy.
00:23:29Those Mary Ann's.
00:23:31Right.
00:23:32Those are yours.
00:23:34Right again.
00:23:36You don't like lace, do you, Laura?
00:23:38Of course I do.
00:23:40Then why don't you wear lace pants?
00:23:43Oh, for the love of...
00:23:45Will you please go inside and get some more clothes?
00:23:48I will if you tell me why you don't wear lace pants.
00:23:51Just because I don't.
00:23:54Guess they must be kind of scratchy anyway.
00:23:56Bye.
00:24:02Hey, Vic.
00:24:03What do you want?
00:24:08How long since you've been to Aunt Sarah's?
00:24:10About a week.
00:24:11Don't you think it would be nice if you went there to supper tonight?
00:24:15How much?
00:24:16Quarter.
00:24:19Cash?
00:24:20Cash.
00:24:20When do I get it?
00:24:22When you go to Aunt Sarah's.
00:24:25Okay.
00:24:28Ain't you through cleaning that yet?
00:24:30No, not yet.
00:24:31We're having a Mr. Caller's for dinner tonight.
00:24:33Will you stay and help?
00:24:34No, I got a date.
00:24:35Please, Minnie.
00:24:37I hate waiting on table when there's company.
00:24:39Just this one.
00:24:41Won't be through with the laundry in time.
00:24:43Oh, but we won't have dinner until 7.30.
00:24:467.30?
00:24:47I never heard of such a crazy thing.
00:24:50But you will stay, won't you, Minnie?
00:24:53Please, Minnie.
00:24:54All right, I'll stay.
00:24:56And, Minnie, you'll be careful, won't you?
00:24:59Of what?
00:25:00Well, of the way you serve.
00:25:02You won't drop things, will you?
00:25:04And you won't stand gaping and listening to the conversation.
00:25:08Say, listen.
00:25:09I told you that I got a date.
00:25:11And if you think you're not going to be satisfied...
00:25:13Oh, I know, Minnie, I'm sure you'll do splendidly.
00:25:15But you will be careful, won't you?
00:25:17Of what?
00:25:19Nothing, Minnie.
00:25:24Say, how many will I set the table for?
00:25:27Bless my soul of God.
00:25:29What?
00:25:30Sam and Amy's coming on the 5.30 this afternoon.
00:25:33Seven, Minnie?
00:25:34Sam and Amy?
00:25:36I sure will be glad to see them.
00:25:40Sam and Amy.
00:25:41Captain, can you imagine what they looked like at that dinner table?
00:25:53Our Heavenly Father, we thank thee for every good and precious gift.
00:25:58And we ask thee to bless this food which thou hast given us, thy servants.
00:26:03We beseech thee to make us worthy of thy bounty.
00:26:06And make us worthy, O Lord, of thy divine kindness.
00:26:09Amen.
00:26:16Why, Hedrick, darling, I thought you were dining at Aunt Sarah's.
00:26:20Aunt Sarah dines at six.
00:26:22So I hadn't come home.
00:26:32All right, Minnie, I can come in now.
00:26:35Please, Hedrick, not for now.
00:26:37Hello, Minnie.
00:26:46How you been?
00:26:47Oh, fine, Sam.
00:26:48How's yourself?
00:26:49I've been feeling pretty good, considering we're expecting the baby any time now.
00:26:57Oh, I hope it's a boy.
00:27:01I hope it's a boy.
00:27:01What's the matter?
00:27:11Listen, Sam, don't you know when you're dying at 7.30, you ain't supposed to talk to the servants?
00:27:17Hedrick.
00:27:17Must be awfully nice having your whole family here at the same time.
00:27:23Yeah.
00:27:24We're going to have some more in the family pretty soon, Mr. Corliss.
00:27:27Oh, good for you.
00:27:29It's going to be a boy.
00:27:31Sam, how do you know?
00:27:33When I say I'm going to have a boy, I have a boy.
00:27:36How do you like what you've seen of Council City, Mr. Corliss?
00:27:44Why, it's even more charming than I expected.
00:27:47What did you expect?
00:27:49Well, I don't know exactly.
00:27:51It's an ordinary small town.
00:27:53You're right, this isn't an ordinary small town.
00:27:56It's the fastest growing community in the country.
00:27:59Hedrick.
00:28:02What are you doing here, anyway?
00:28:04Shh.
00:28:04Hedrick.
00:28:05Hedrick, please behave.
00:28:06Oh, that's quite all right.
00:28:07He's got a perfect right to know.
00:28:09You see, Hedrick, I'm vice president of a new company called the Electro Household Corporation.
00:28:15The reason I'm here is with an idea of building a factory on the outskirts of the town.
00:28:20You don't say so.
00:28:22Who's going to have the plumbing contract for your factory?
00:28:26I'm in the plumbing business.
00:28:27That is, I was...
00:28:30Sam, you've interrupted Mr. Corliss.
00:28:32Why not at all, Mrs. Alcombe?
00:28:34I'd be very glad to talk that over with you when we decide to build.
00:28:38You see, I plan to take in a limited number of local people and make them partners.
00:28:42Oh, I think that sounds perfectly wonderful.
00:28:46Is that so?
00:28:47Who are you thinking of having?
00:28:50Well, your father, for instance.
00:28:53His reputation for honesty and integrity is pretty well known to us.
00:28:57Now, how would you like to be the secretary and treasurer of a big corporation?
00:29:03Me?
00:29:06Secretary and treasurer to a big corporation?
00:29:09Oh!
00:29:09Well, yes, why not?
00:29:11Yes, Daddy, why not?
00:29:15After all, I don't see why not.
00:29:19Of course, Mr. Corliss, you realize I haven't any money to invest right now, but times have been kind of hard.
00:29:26Oh, now, wait a minute.
00:29:26We don't want your money.
00:29:28All we want is your name and that sound business judgment of yours.
00:29:33Sounds good to me, Pa.
00:29:36Well, I'll tell you what I'll do.
00:29:38I'll look into it a little closer and...
00:29:41Doggone, I'd like to be secretary and treasurer of a big corporation.
00:29:46Minnie!
00:29:47Minnie!
00:29:48Why, what's the matter?
00:29:49You little devil!
00:29:54Hendrick, leave the room.
00:29:56Are you hurt?
00:29:57No, I ain't hurt.
00:29:59I think you're just wonderful.
00:30:06Hello?
00:30:07Mr. Corliss, just a second.
00:30:10Telephone call for you, Mr. Corliss.
00:30:13Oh, for me?
00:30:14Oh, pardon me, will you?
00:30:15I was expecting a long-distance call, and I took the liberty of telling the hotel where I'd be.
00:30:25Hello?
00:30:28Yes?
00:30:30Yes, this is Corliss.
00:30:33Oh, sure, yeah, it's fine.
00:30:35Oh, it's a great little town.
00:30:39Yeah, it seems like an ideal spot for the factory.
00:30:43What?
00:30:45Who wants more stock?
00:30:48Well, you tell them they can't have it.
00:30:50No, sir.
00:30:52No, we don't need any more money.
00:30:55Yes, that's right.
00:30:59Goodbye.
00:30:59Goodbye.
00:30:59I think it's so good to say exciting for words.
00:31:13I...
00:31:14Patrick?
00:31:20Patrick, darling?
00:31:24Yes, dear?
00:31:25Isn't it your bedtime?
00:31:31No, dear.
00:31:36Will you excuse me just a minute, Mr. Corliss?
00:31:38Why, certainly.
00:31:39Good night, Hedrick.
00:31:50Good night, Hedrick.
00:31:55What are we saying?
00:32:04Poor Hedrick.
00:32:05He does have such a hard time of it.
00:32:08Oh, I don't know.
00:32:08I guess kids are the same the world over.
00:32:11You've traveled a lot, haven't you?
00:32:13Yes, I guess I have.
00:32:15I wonder if I'll ever get away from this.
00:32:18To go places.
00:32:20See things.
00:32:22Dance in beautiful ballrooms.
00:32:23I guess the nearest I'll ever get to a New York cabaret
00:32:28is the wrong end of a radio.
00:32:30No, you...
00:32:31You can't tell.
00:32:34Stranger things have happened.
00:32:37Perhaps.
00:32:39Perhaps.
00:32:40What?
00:32:44Hello, Marianne.
00:32:46Oh.
00:32:48Oh, hello, Hedrick.
00:32:51You remember Mr. Corliss, don't you?
00:32:53Yes.
00:32:53Hello, Doctor.
00:32:54Well, how's the family?
00:32:55Oh, fine.
00:32:57Dick, I wish you'd run in and get Laura out here.
00:32:59The poor kid's been indoors all day.
00:33:05Do you mind?
00:33:08No, I'll bring her out.
00:33:12How'd you like to take a little walk, Mr. Corliss?
00:33:14There's nothing I'd rather do than take a walk.
00:33:19Hello, Marianne.
00:33:21What to do?
00:33:23Oh, hello, Hedrick.
00:33:24Mr. Corliss, Mr. Trumbull.
00:33:26How do you do?
00:33:26Pleased to meet you.
00:33:28You're a stranger around here, aren't you?
00:33:30Well, I was, but the Madison family have been so kind to me
00:33:33that they've made me feel very much at home.
00:33:36Oh.
00:33:36Isn't that nice?
00:33:38Mr. Corliss is going to build a factory in town, Wade.
00:33:41Oh.
00:33:42Well, is that so?
00:33:42Yes, indeed.
00:33:43I hope it does great things for the town.
00:33:45Well, I hope it really gets built.
00:33:48What do you mean?
00:33:49Well, nothing.
00:33:50Only there's been a lot of people going to build factories around here.
00:33:53Oh, I see.
00:33:55Well, I think you'll get one this time.
00:33:57That's good.
00:33:58Well, we're going for a walk, Wade.
00:34:01Here's Laura, now.
00:34:02Hello, Wade.
00:34:03Hello.
00:34:05I'm going to show Mr. Corliss your garden, Angel.
00:34:08Really, Mr. Corliss, Laura does most marvelous things with flowers.
00:34:11They're just too beautiful.
00:34:42It's a beautiful night, isn't it, Dick?
00:34:54Yeah, it is.
00:35:02Hmm.
00:35:12Please be careful.
00:35:24I'll tell you what we'll do.
00:35:26We'll go back and say goodnight.
00:35:28Then I'll get rid of them.
00:35:30And you come back in half an hour.
00:35:36I'll be back.
00:35:37And there's where Corliss intends to build.
00:35:57It looks good to me.
00:35:58It looks like a big thing.
00:36:00Here's a picture of the factory.
00:36:02Well, I'm going to leave it all up to you, John.
00:36:06Like you say, it's all right to go ahead.
00:36:08I'm ready to pay my share over to Corliss.
00:36:11And that goes for me, too.
00:36:13And me.
00:36:14Don't be too hasty.
00:36:15I'll write Ed Graves in New York to investigate the proposition.
00:36:19And if he says it's all right, send us a good report.
00:36:22Well, then I think we can all go in on it.
00:36:24Well, whatever you say, John.
00:36:26It's all right with us, huh, boys?
00:36:27Sure, sure.
00:36:28Here we go, boys.
00:36:28I didn't know.
00:36:29Certainly.
00:36:30Hello?
00:36:31Yes?
00:36:34What?
00:36:35What?
00:36:37I'm a boy.
00:36:38Amy's got a grandfather.
00:36:39I mean, she's got a boy.
00:36:41Now, she's got a boy.
00:36:46It's a boy.
00:36:47What?
00:36:47Yeah.
00:36:51Here, keep the change.
00:36:53Me.
00:36:55I'm a grandfather.
00:36:56I'm a grandfather.
00:37:07I'm a grandfather.
00:37:08Gosh, when I say I'm going to have a boy, I have a boy.
00:37:26Say, I didn't see no stork.
00:37:28Shh, Hendrick.
00:37:32Say, you don't think they'll get my boy mixed up with the others, do you?
00:37:35They'll be able to tell him, all right.
00:37:39He'll wait for this knife.
00:37:40Shh.
00:37:42I bet that that Bloomberg baby over there looks just like his old man.
00:37:48Hey, Izzy, what's the price of overalls?
00:37:50Gee, that's a funny-looking one there, too.
00:38:00Woofie.

00:47:43Why not?
00:47:44Oh.
00:47:45Many reasons.
00:47:47In the first place.
00:47:48Oh I don't know.
00:47:50Guess I've never found any man I could really fall in love with.
00:47:54Well I'm not surprised.

00:52:02I know you didn't.
00:52:03Hello, Dave.
00:52:10I've got Madison's letter right here in my hand.
00:52:13He says everything is 100%.
00:52:14We should go ahead and close the deal.
00:52:17Yeah.
00:52:18Just as soon as I looked at this fellow, Corliss, I knew he was all right.
00:52:22Yeah?
00:52:23Sure.
00:52:24Well, what's the next move?
00:52:25Well, we'll call a meeting this afternoon and put up our money right away.
00:52:29Say, this is the greatest world that ever struck this town.
00:52:33And sure as you're alive, we're going to make a lot of money.
00:52:35You know, that fellow, Corliss, is a live wife.
00:52:38Well, I think so.
00:52:39You know, Father's inside.
00:52:50We brought him down this morning.
00:52:52Oh.
00:52:52Well, it's good to see you downstairs again.
00:52:58It's good to be here, Marianne.
00:53:01Gosh, I don't see why everybody's making such a fuss.
00:53:03I feel fine.
00:53:04I'm so glad.
00:53:06Got to run.
00:53:07Where are you going?
00:53:08I'm taking some old clothes down to the Women's Civic League.
00:53:10They're sending some stuff to the poor.
00:53:13Will they be back soon?
00:53:14Yes.
00:53:22Hello, Marianne.
00:53:36Why, hello, Dick.
00:53:38I'm just dressing up to the Women's Civic League.
00:53:40Got some old clothes for them.
00:53:41You'll, you'll excuse me, won't you?
00:53:43If you wait till I see your dad, I'll be glad to drop you off.
00:53:45No, no thanks, Dick.
00:53:46I, I'm in quite a hurry.
00:53:52I'm in quite a hurry.
00:54:22I've got a great idea.
00:54:24Instead of getting married here, we'll...
00:54:25Oh, but...
00:54:26Now, you know perfectly well that the loping couples never get married in the hometown.
00:54:31I'm so happy.
00:54:33I don't care where we get married.
00:54:35Are you happy too, Val?
00:54:37Am I?
00:54:39Do I look it?
00:54:46A couple more weeks of good rest,
00:54:48and you'll be able to go back to that office and work harder than ever.
00:54:50Hmm.
00:54:51I guess I'll have to.
00:54:55Well, how's the rest of the family?
00:54:57Just fine, thanks.
00:54:59And where's, uh, Laura?
00:55:01Well, I guess she's upstairs feeding the baby.
00:55:04You know, I haven't seen that baby for almost a week.
00:55:06I think I'll have to run up and take a look at it.
00:55:08And go right ahead.
00:55:09He loves visitors.
00:55:11Sure he loves visitors.
00:55:13He don't have to clean up after them.
00:55:15I've cooked more company dinners in the last four weeks in this house
00:55:20than most folks have in a year.
00:55:25Come in.
00:55:28Oh.
00:55:30Well.
00:55:32I thought I'd drop in and see how the young man's getting on.
00:55:35Oh, he's just as healthy as he can be.
00:55:37Good.
00:55:38And what an appetite.
00:55:41What's he weigh now?
00:55:43Nine pounds, two ounces.
00:55:45Well.
00:55:46Well, I'm glad he's getting on, all right.
00:56:14Paul.
00:56:16Oh.
00:56:18Oh.
00:56:41Oh.
00:56:41Oh.
00:56:45Oh.
00:56:45Oh.
00:56:45Clerk, please.
00:56:55Hello.
00:56:57Are you sure Mr. Cornish hasn't come back yet?
00:57:15I'll call you.
00:57:37Did you get Mr. Callers?
00:57:39I'll phone the hotel.
00:57:41He left town yesterday.
00:57:43Oh, it'll be all right, Mother.
00:57:46It's just like Marianne to want to elope.
00:57:49They'll probably come back today.
00:58:13You can come right in, Miss Madison.
00:58:25This is a pleasant surprise.
00:58:26How are you, Dick?
00:58:27Fine.
00:58:28Don't forget your chair.
00:58:29Oh, this will do nicely, thanks.
00:58:31Well, all right if it's a social call.
00:58:34It is?
00:58:35Very.
00:58:36I've got great news for you, Dick.
00:58:38I'm ready to marry you.
00:58:40Well, you asked me to, didn't you?
00:58:45Oh, yes, of course.
00:58:49There's only one condition.
00:58:51We've got to be married immediately and leave town.
00:58:54I'm so fed up with it all.
00:58:56I want to get out of here right away.
00:59:01But I thought you were in love with Cornish, Marianne.
00:59:05I don't know what to say.
00:59:07You mean you don't care for me anymore?
00:59:13Well...
00:59:15Well, no, not in the way I used to.
00:59:18You see, I thought you'd gotten over caring for me and...
00:59:21Well, I guess I just put you out of my mind.
00:59:25And then...
00:59:27And then?
00:59:29Then I fell in love with someone else.
00:59:34With Laura.
00:59:37With Laura.
00:59:40How wonderful.
00:59:44I just know you're going to be happy.
00:59:47Well...
00:59:49Oh, thank you, Marianne.
01:00:07It ain't going to do any good worrying, Mother.
01:00:19She must be with Carlos.
01:00:24You go on up to him while I get his bottle ready.
01:00:27You better wait out here, Tom.
01:00:31Okay.
01:00:38Howdy, Mrs. Madison.
01:00:40We want to see John.
01:00:41Oh, he...
01:00:42He's right inside there.
01:00:43You'll excuse me, won't you?
01:00:44I'm so busy with the baby.
01:00:46He's right in there.
01:00:48Hello, how are you boys?
01:00:50Come to visit me or my grandson.
01:00:53Well, what's going on?
01:00:56What are you all so glum about?
01:00:58Carlos checked out of the hotel yesterday morning...
01:01:00...without leaving any forwarding address.
01:01:02And he took all our money with him?
01:01:04Electro Household Corporation.
01:01:05Huh.
01:01:06There's no such firm.
01:01:07This looks very, very shady to me.
01:01:10Well then, why did you give Carlos your money?
01:01:12Why didn't you wait until I heard from New York?
01:01:14Oh, we waited all right.
01:01:16Until we got your letter.
01:01:19What letter?
01:01:20You know mighty bell what letter.
01:01:21John, I want my money or...
01:01:23...using the mails to fraud.
01:01:24That's what it is.
01:01:25What letter?
01:01:35Why?
01:01:41Well, is that your signature?
01:01:44Carlos fooled me.
01:01:47And I thought he was all right.
01:01:50I'm sorry I got you into this, boys.
01:01:52You're sorry, that's fine.
01:01:53But what about our money?
01:01:54I tell you, you used the mails to defraud.
01:01:57It's prison offense.
01:01:59Father never signed that letter.
01:02:00I forged his signature.
01:02:16What are you going to do about it?
01:02:23I can cash in my life insurance.
01:02:27That'll pay some of it back.
01:02:31I can sell the house.
01:02:36If I give you my word of honor,
01:02:37I'll pay back every cent that you've lost.
01:02:41Only promise me you'll keep Marianne out of it.
01:02:47Well, if John pays back the money, why...
01:02:51I'm satisfied.
01:02:57Oh, Daddy.
01:03:00Oh, Daddy.
01:03:02I've got it.
01:03:03Oh, Daddy.
01:03:10Oh, Daddy.
01:03:11Oh, Daddy.
01:03:13I'm finished.
01:03:15I'm just so happy, honey.
01:03:41I can't believe it's true.
01:03:43You've got it all coming to you, darling.
01:03:46You're the best-hearted thing in the world.
01:03:49Just look at all you've done for Papa.
01:03:51Oh, forget about it.
01:03:59Oh, here.
01:04:04There.
01:04:05Practically froze by now.
01:04:07You're a dear to come over and help.
01:04:09Always glad to do things for them as appreciates them.
01:04:12Thank you, Minnie.
01:04:13Well, am I supposed to answer the doorbell
01:04:17and do everything else around here?
01:04:19I'll answer it.
01:04:20Come on, sweetheart.
01:04:26Somehow, it doesn't seem natural for her to be so nice.
01:04:31Oh, there.
01:04:32Oh, you, John.
01:04:51Oh, you, John.
01:04:55Oh, you, John.
