00:00:00.
00:00:30Oh, my God.
00:01:00All department heads are here.
00:01:25Crane, how long have you been personnel manager of the Drew Transportation Company?
00:01:29Thirteen years, M.J., three with you and ten years before that with your father.
00:01:33Rest his soul.
00:01:35Did you rise when he entered?
00:01:36No, M.J.
00:01:37Oh, I'm sorry, M.J.
00:01:38I forgot it.
00:01:39Hereafter, confine you setting up exercises to your home.
00:01:43Now, M.J.
00:01:44Now, M.J.
00:01:45Which means you've done nothing about this scurrilous attack.
00:01:49There's nothing libelous in those opening chapters.
00:01:53Though John Drew entered this earth as naked as a chihuahua pup,
00:01:57he departed it in a silken shroud,
00:01:59much to the chagrin of a senatorial investigating committee
00:02:02that was showing a vulgar curiosity in his affairs.
00:02:06Something wrong with your teeth?
00:02:07No, no, M.J.
00:02:09Now, the laws of libel are not very definite.
00:02:13Not definite?
00:02:15The daughter is a chip off the old block,
00:02:18if you can chip granite.
00:02:21What do I have to do?
00:02:22Allow this Michael Holmes to beat my brains out
00:02:24with a baseball bat
00:02:25before the legal department can sue him for libel?
00:02:27And you.
00:02:29I told you I wanted this man Holmes in my office within 24 hours.
00:02:32Well, every one of our spotters has been told...
00:02:34Why do I pay you $10,000 a year?
00:02:37I ought to send you back to the police force.
00:02:40Will you stop that clucking?
00:02:43A prominent figure like yourself, M.J.,
00:02:45should learn to disregard this type of...
00:02:47Do you think I care for myself?
00:02:50Why do you think the Bolton Steel Corporation
00:02:52lost three lucrative contracts?
00:02:54Because this hack wrote a book about them.
00:02:58And now he's after the transportation business.
00:03:01I will not allow this ferret with a poisonous pen
00:03:04to undermine the confidence of our stockholders.
00:03:08He's getting his information from our employees.
00:03:12Probably the truck drivers.
00:03:14Crane, find out who's been talking to him.
00:03:16And fire them.
00:03:17Yes, M.J.
00:03:18Mahoney, I want this man Holmes found and brought into my office.
00:03:20Yes, M.J.
00:03:21Crane, any employee found talking to him
00:03:24is to be discharged instantly.
00:03:26Mosh, if any other publisher accepts this imbecile's writings,
00:03:29I'm to be notified immediately.
00:03:30That's all.
00:03:30Okay, Mike, you can come out now.
00:03:51It's dark.
00:03:53Pineapples to barbed wire.
00:03:54Don't you guys ever hauling mattresses?
00:03:57We don't haul passengers either
00:03:59if we want to haul our jobs.
00:04:01Why don't you quit and go in the decent outfit?
00:04:02M.J.'s got it fixed
00:04:04so no other office will hire us.
00:04:06Blacklist, let me call it.
00:04:07If I didn't know anything but driving a truck,
00:04:08I'd quit this rocket.
00:04:09Not bad.
00:04:12M.J. Drew.
00:04:15She's going to be too big for her bridges.
00:04:17That's not a nice way to talk about a lady.
00:04:19Lady?
00:04:20Oh, there's no lady.
00:04:21That's a heel.
00:04:25Hey, better stop, Johnny.
00:04:26Looks like a damsel in distress.
00:04:28No, sir.
00:04:29It'll cost me ten bucks if I get caught.
00:04:31And at those prices,
00:04:32somebody else can place a Walter Raleigh.
00:04:39You don't know it,
00:04:40but you're getting to be just like your boss.
00:04:42Pretty soon you'll begin to enjoy it.
00:04:45Yeah, I guess you're right.
00:04:51Anything I can do for your sister?
00:05:04You've already done it, brother.
00:05:06Number 458, Route 92.
00:05:08A spotter.
00:05:09There goes the wife's no shoes.
00:05:11All right, mister.
00:05:12Just throw your weight out of that truck.
00:05:14We're not in competition with the taxi cabs.
00:05:17A day's layoff for carrying a rider.
00:05:19Oh, wait a minute.
00:05:20It wasn't his fault.
00:05:21I'm a stalwart.
00:05:22He didn't know I was in the truck.
00:05:24How?
00:05:24Left your truck unlocked.
00:05:26Heck, will you keep quiet?
00:05:27Keep quiet?
00:05:28That's the trouble with a bunch of you.
00:05:29Why don't you speak up?
00:05:30Shout till somebody hears you.
00:05:31Plotting against the good of the company.
00:05:33You'd better get started
00:05:34before this chump lands on relief.
00:05:36Look, can't we settle this amicably?
00:05:42Offering a bribe.
00:05:44Goodbye.
00:05:48So why does an attractive girl like you
00:05:50have to do this kind of work?
00:05:51Why, Grandma, what big teeth you got?
00:06:00Look out, MJ.
00:06:02Drew, I'm loaded for bear.
00:06:06Hurry!
00:06:16Ten bucks for Susie's shoes.
00:06:20Five fifty for the day's work you lose.
00:06:22If it didn't mean getting dark for being late,
00:06:24I'd stop this bus and kick you right...
00:06:26Yeah, well, you can kick me on your day off.
00:06:28I'll save myself for you.
00:06:32Oh, boy, I'll be glad we get to New York
00:06:34and get a good night's sleep.
00:06:36Holy mackerel, what's that?
00:06:40Just to keep those drivers from falling asleep.
00:06:42Oh, turn it off.
00:06:43You can't.
00:06:44It goes on at eight o'clock at night
00:06:46and shuts off at six in the morning.
00:06:47It's automatic.
00:06:49Who thought of that cute little gadget?
00:06:51We're getting warm.
00:06:54That's one more I owe that frustrated old hen.
00:06:57You'll have to go around the shore road.
00:07:17That's ten miles out of the way.
00:07:18Listen, fella.
00:07:19M.J. Drew's little sister's getting married.
00:07:21And this road stays closed.
00:07:23Whose little sister?
00:07:25Your boss's.
00:07:25M.J. Drew.
00:07:29Hey, wait a minute, Mike.
00:07:31What for?
00:07:31I'm going to deliver in person
00:07:34the piece of my mind
00:07:35she's got coming to her
00:07:36and, incidentally,
00:07:37collect the 1550 I've got coming to me.
00:07:40But I'm late already.
00:07:41You go ahead.
00:07:43I'm going to bring you back M.J. Drew's scalp
00:07:45to hang on your radiator cap.
00:07:47The old witch isn't bald.
00:07:48Sure.
00:07:49Break my heart.
00:07:51Wipe your shoes on my feelings.
00:07:52But keep the family flag flying
00:07:54in the Fifth Avenue breeze.
00:07:56I'm not going through with it.
00:07:58I'm not going through with it.
00:08:00That's all she keeps saying.
00:08:01I'm not going through with it.
00:08:02See?
00:08:03She's not going through with it.
00:08:04Well, of course she can't go through
00:08:05with it dressed like that.
00:08:06Oh, dear.
00:08:06Of course not here, darling.
00:08:07Put on this beautiful gown.
00:08:09You'll feel better.
00:08:09I don't want to look at it.
00:08:10Now, don't you start to cry.
00:08:22Oh, there they go.
00:08:23When one cries,
00:08:24the other one has to cry.
00:08:25It's been going on for years.
00:08:27You start just like your father.
00:08:36The Drew residence.
00:08:37Which one of you
00:08:38is going to stop crying first?
00:08:40It's for Miss Vivian.
00:08:48Hello.
00:08:50Oh, Joe.
00:08:52My niece.
00:08:54It's so sweet of you to call, Joe.
00:08:57Oh, but I can't.
00:08:59Well, the house is all decorated
00:09:01and the guests are all assembled.
00:09:04It wouldn't be nice.
00:09:06They all came expecting
00:09:08to see a wedding.
00:09:08Oh, but I do, Joe.
00:09:11I do.
00:09:12But I can't do that.
00:09:14Of course you can't do that.
00:09:16Who's Joe?
00:09:18Joe Crim.
00:09:19He works in a filling station.
00:09:22I had a flat tire.
00:09:23You've got a flat head.
00:09:25That's not true, Margaret.
00:09:26None of the Drews were flat-headed.
00:09:28Except Uncle Everest.
00:09:29When did you see this person last?
00:09:33Oh, I haven't seen him for a long time.
00:09:36When?
00:09:37Last night.
00:09:38Well, we parked my car
00:09:39on Riverside Drive
00:09:40and talked.
00:09:41What did you talk about, dear?
00:09:43How to live on a grease monkey's pay,
00:09:44wasn't it?
00:09:50Yes?
00:09:52Hello.
00:09:53This is Joe Crim again.
00:09:54I want to talk to Vivian.
00:09:56Oh, Joe.
00:09:57This is Vivian's sister, Margaret.
00:09:59I'm so sorry,
00:10:00but Vivian's getting married
00:10:01in a few minutes.
00:10:02Yes, well, don't grieve too much.
00:10:04We'll send you all
00:10:05of our flat tire work.
00:10:06You can't get away with this.
00:10:08You're driving her
00:10:08into that marriage.
00:10:09A loveless marriage.
00:10:10She's not in love
00:10:11with that pet and girl guy.
00:10:11She's in love with me.
00:10:12She told me so.
00:10:13She even wrote me.
00:10:14That's how I know.
00:10:15What?
00:10:15Did you write this person letters?
00:10:17Well, only two or three.
00:10:20This is no idle threat, lady.
00:10:21I mean it.
00:10:22And what's more,
00:10:22if you don't call that wedding off,
00:10:23I'm going to come over there
00:10:24and do it myself.
00:10:25Please do, Joe.
00:10:26There's a detective on each door,
00:10:27every one of them over six feet.
00:10:29I'll tell them to expect you.
00:10:31Oh, Margaret.
00:10:32Come on,
00:10:32I'll help you with your veil.
00:10:35Every time I'd see him,
00:10:37my head would swim
00:10:38and my knees would get weak.
00:10:41Villousness.
00:10:41Nonsense, Margaret.
00:10:42It's a family characteristic.
00:10:43All the Drew women had it.
00:10:45I know when I first met your father,
00:10:46my knees.
00:10:47Mother, you know
00:10:48you've always suffered with your liver.
00:10:50Vivian,
00:10:50when you and Stephen
00:10:51return from your honeymoon,
00:10:52I'll have Dr. Cassell
00:10:53look at your liver.
00:10:54He's very good on liver,
00:10:55as you know.
00:10:57Oh, darling,
00:10:58I don't mean to seem harsh,
00:10:59but the institution of marriage
00:11:01is no different
00:11:02from any other step you may take.
00:11:04And never take a step
00:11:05unless it's a successful step upward.
00:11:08Intelligent people
00:11:09don't marry for better or worse.
00:11:11They marry for better and better.
00:11:14Oh, mother.
00:11:16Oh, lady.
00:11:17Now, stop it, both of you.
00:11:19Oh, my God.
00:11:28Lola.
00:11:30Come with me.
00:11:31Come with me.
00:11:31Come on, open up this gate.
00:11:49What's going on here?
00:11:50What's happening?
00:11:52Um, nothing.
00:11:53Come on, open it up.
00:11:54Just a guy trying to crash the gate
00:11:55without an invitation.
00:11:57Come on, open up this gate.
00:11:59Don't you will, miss?
00:12:01No.
00:12:02I'm quite all right.
00:12:04It's just my liver.
00:12:06Come on, open that door
00:12:07before I break it down.
00:12:07All this noise
00:12:08will disturb my guests.
00:12:10Do something about it.
00:12:11Yes, ma'am.
00:12:16Listen, you,
00:12:17I want to...
00:12:17Anything else you wish, ma'am?
00:12:26Don't call me, ma'am.
00:12:28Sure.
00:12:34I'd much rather call you baby.
00:12:40Your job is to see that
00:12:41nobody gets in here
00:12:43without an invitation.
00:12:44Especially somebody called Joe.
00:12:46You don't happen to be called Joe,
00:12:50do you?
00:12:51No.
00:12:52No, it's mine.
00:13:01But you can call me baby, too.
00:13:16What do you do, sir?
00:13:27Hello.
00:13:30Look, I'm lonesome.
00:13:32Everybody's inside, sir.
00:13:33Aren't you going into the ceremony?
00:13:35No, no, I hate wedding.
00:13:46Would you care for a drink, sir?
00:13:52Oh, I hate liquor.
00:13:56Napoleon brandy.
00:13:57Worth its weight in gold.
00:14:02Napoleon brandy for herself.
00:14:05Now, drivers get a fine
00:14:06if they even stop
00:14:07for a drink of water.
00:14:08Do you know that?
00:14:09No, sir.
00:14:10I'm just extra help
00:14:11here today, sir.
00:14:11You're lucky.
00:14:13What's a bottle like that worth?
00:14:15Sixty dollars.
00:14:15With the tax.
00:14:16Sixty dollars.
00:14:19Dearly beloved,
00:14:20we are gathered together here
00:14:21in the sight of God
00:14:22and in the face of this company
00:14:23to join together this man
00:14:25and this woman
00:14:25in holy matrimony.
00:14:33And about thirty dollars worth?
00:14:35Yes, sir.
00:14:37And that would be about fifteen.
00:14:41Is that about fifty cents?
00:14:43Let me have a glass.
00:14:45Fifteen-fifty, that's just what I've got coming to me.
00:14:51Stephen, wilt thou have this woman
00:14:53to thy wedded wife
00:14:53so long as ye both shall live?
00:14:55I will.
00:14:57Vivian, wilt thou have this man
00:14:59to thy wedded husband
00:15:00so long as ye both shall live?
00:15:02I will.
00:15:04Who giveth this woman
00:15:05to be married to this man?
00:15:06He.
00:15:07I do.
00:15:08Have I got my fifteen-fifty yet?
00:15:15Almost, sir.
00:15:23Keep the change.
00:15:24Miss Drew,
00:15:33Miss Drew,
00:15:37Miss Drew.
00:15:54Yes?
00:15:55I'd better run them in.
00:16:12I hope you'll be very happy.
00:16:22What's your hurry?
00:16:23I'm double parked.
00:16:24I think I know who he is.
00:16:31Yeah.
00:16:33I'm sure you'll be very happy.
00:16:47I beg your pardon, but...
00:16:49I know I know who he is.
00:16:52Who is he?
00:16:52A hoodlum called Joe.
00:16:54I'm sorry, but I beg your pardon, but I know you're going to be very happy.
00:17:00Come along, dear.
00:17:01Come on, let's go.
00:17:02Miss Margaret.
00:17:03Helene.
00:17:03Helene, see the man kissing Miss Vivian?
00:17:05Yes.
00:17:06Ask him to come to my upstairs sitting room and tell him it's to his own advantage.
00:17:09Yes, Miss Margaret.
00:17:10Somebody wants to see us.
00:17:13Excuse me.
00:17:14Excuse me.
00:17:14Will you accompany me upstairs, please?
00:17:16You'll find it to your own advantage.
00:17:18Sure.
00:17:19Don't you think it would be better if I went ahead and you followed, sir?
00:17:23Oh, sure, sure, sure.
00:17:24We must be discreet.
00:17:25Would you excuse our friend Marsh for a few moments?
00:17:34I promise to retain him in good condition.
00:17:36I wouldn't mind being messed up a little, you know?
00:17:38How do you mark money?
00:17:42Well, there are many ways of doing it, plus I prefer crosses.
00:17:45Oh.
00:17:46You know, like kisses.
00:17:47Oh, for heaven's sakes, Marsh, let's concentrate on this.
00:17:49Well, I'll try to, dear, but it won't be hard.
00:17:53My little sister's been writing things to a fortune hunter.
00:17:56Oh, a blackmail.
00:17:57Mm-hmm.
00:17:58You get the detective to wait outside my sitting room door, and when I call, come in immediately,
00:18:02will you?
00:18:03Yeah.
00:18:09Will you take your orders for Mr. Marsh?
00:18:18I told him I wasn't the bride, but he said I might be a bride someday, and he might not be there,
00:18:21so he was getting in these licks now.
00:18:23Oh, he's kissing everybody.
00:18:26Fix your cap.
00:18:33Baby!
00:18:34I asked you here because I...
00:18:35Why, baby, I didn't know you cared.
00:18:39Stay where you are.
00:18:41Stay where you are.
00:18:43Is it possible you feel the same way I do?
00:18:46Certainly not.
00:18:47Why should I?
00:18:48I don't even know how you feel.
00:18:50Oh, I feel as if one of those MJ Drew trucks hit me.
00:18:53One of the big ones.
00:18:54The Drew trucks do not hit anybody.
00:18:57We have the lowest accident rate in the country.
00:18:59I like loyalty, my women.
00:19:01Even if it's loyally to MJ Drew, I'm even prepared to like her.
00:19:04After all, the old bag brought us together.
00:19:06The old bag?
00:19:07That's not even disgust, that tired character.
00:19:09Will you stop stalking me?
00:19:14Hear it?
00:19:16Do I hear what?
00:19:17Music.
00:19:18The room's filled with it.
00:19:19The only thing the room's filled with it is the noise you're making.
00:19:22I feel as if I've been lost in a desert island and suddenly found an oasis cool and green like your eyes.
00:19:29Here's your money.
00:19:30And my eyes are blue.
00:19:31All right, it's a blue oasis.
00:19:35Well, there's a thousand dollars here.
00:19:37Yes, and that's all you're going to get.
00:19:39Oh, wait a minute, baby.
00:19:41You're making a mistake.
00:19:42What do you want?
00:19:43What does any man want?
00:19:45A woman of his own.
00:19:47A home.
00:19:48Babies.
00:19:49Marsh!
00:19:50Marsh!
00:19:51Hey!
00:19:52We do not wish to be disturbed.
00:19:54MJ was happy.
00:19:55Oh, the man's gone crazy.
00:19:56MJ?
00:19:57You're MJ?
00:19:58Yes.
00:19:59The old bag.
00:20:00That tired character.
00:20:01Come on, you have your money, Joe.
00:20:02Hand over the letters.
00:20:03Oh, no.
00:20:04There must be some mistake.
00:20:05There must be several mistakes.
00:20:06He has a thousand dollars in marked money.
00:20:07Take it as evidence.
00:20:08Wait a minute, folks.
00:20:09Let me get on the joke.
00:20:10I've got a sense of humor, too.
00:20:11Well, tell the joke to the district attorney.
00:20:12Come on.
00:20:13Remember, no scatting.
00:20:14No scatting.
00:20:15No scatting.
00:20:16No scatting.
00:20:17No scatting.
00:20:18No scatting.
00:20:19No scatting.
00:20:20No scatting.
00:20:21No scatting.
00:20:22No scatting.
00:20:23No scatting.
00:20:24No scatting.
00:20:25No scatting.
00:20:26No scatting.
00:20:27Take him down the back stairway.
00:20:28Oh, wait a minute, baby.
00:20:29I've got to get used to this.
00:20:31MJ Drew.
00:20:32Baby!
00:20:33Shut up.
00:20:34The guests will hear you.
00:20:35Oh, they will, will they?
00:20:36Why don't you tell the groom's family you've got an insane uncle?
00:20:40They've got a right to know there's insanity in the family.
00:20:45Somebody left the radio.
00:20:48I'm in the way up here.
00:20:50We're off on our honeymoon.
00:20:54I'll see you in four weeks.
00:21:05Oh, good morning, MJ.
00:21:06Morning.
00:21:07Mr. Marsh come in yet?
00:21:08No, MJ.
00:21:09The moment he comes in, tell him I want to see.
00:21:11Mr. Crane is waiting in your office.
00:21:14Any report on Michael Holmes?
00:21:17What are these?
00:21:18Loving cups.
00:21:19I picked them myself.
00:21:20They're for you to...
00:21:21Well, I've nothing against loving, Mr. Crane, but I hardly think you're my type.
00:21:26They're for you to choose from, for the dance contest.
00:21:29Send Mahoney in.
00:21:30Dance contest?
00:21:31Yes, at the truck driver's annual ball.
00:21:33They sent a committee hoping you'd attend.
00:21:34You see, they've never met the head of the firm.
00:21:36I pay their wages.
00:21:37They don't have to know me socially.
00:21:39Good morning, MJ.
00:21:40What about Michael Holmes?
00:21:41I gave every spotter a lecture on vigilance.
00:21:43Put on a few extra men for the emergency.
00:21:45Sent out circulars promising that $250 award.
00:21:48Contacted every way station and I...
00:21:50Did you find Michael Holmes?
00:21:51No.
00:21:52No.
00:21:53And you, did you find out which drivers have been consorting with Holmes?
00:21:57I'm making an extensive investigation.
00:21:59Do you think you can spare the time?
00:22:01There must be millions of loving cups that you haven't seen yet.
00:22:04Why am I surrounded by such incompetence?
00:22:06Why am I...
00:22:10Yes?
00:22:11There's a man here who says he's Michael Holmes.
00:22:13Who did you say?
00:22:14Michael Holmes.
00:22:15Have him wait.
00:22:17Come on, come on, get these cuspidors out here.
00:22:19Well, help him, hurry up.
00:22:21Yes.
00:22:22Send Mr. Holmes in.
00:22:23Yes.
00:22:24Send Mr. Holmes in.
00:22:25Yes.
00:22:26Send Mr. Holmes in.
00:22:27Now, Mr. Holmes, where ever did you get the unmitigated gall to write scurrilously of this company?
00:22:28I can have you possibly...
00:22:29I can have you possibly...
00:22:30I can have you possibly...
00:22:31?
00:22:32Now, Mr. Holmes, where ever did you get the unmitigated gall to write scurrilously of this company?
00:22:56I can have you possibly.
00:22:57How did you get out of jail?
00:23:04Your lawyer got me out.
00:23:06My lawyer?
00:23:08Where is he?
00:23:10He was detained at the police station getting the evidence.
00:23:13Your marked money.
00:23:14Well, there must be some mistake.
00:23:16Pardon the interruption, MJ, but there's a man outside who says this is very important.
00:23:20He wants to see you.
00:23:24But he didn't...
00:23:25Where is he?
00:23:33Outside.
00:23:33Outside.
00:23:47Who are you?
00:23:49Joe Crim.
00:23:51Then who are you?
00:23:52I'm still Michael Holmes.
00:23:53What do you mean by masquerading as Joe?
00:23:56What's better?
00:23:57Your liver gone bad again?
00:23:59No.
00:24:02No, you...
00:24:03You wait here.
00:24:05I'll be right back.
00:24:07Look here, Miss Drew.
00:24:08You've ruined my life.
00:24:10I'm dreadful.
00:24:11I'm heartily ashamed of myself.
00:24:12Give those sweet letters back to your sister and tell her I'll never love anybody but her.
00:24:16How sweet, Joe.
00:24:17I'm touched.
00:24:19Well.
00:24:21Hello, MJ.
00:24:21Dr. Cassell, when you examined me ten days ago, my liver was bad, wasn't it?
00:24:25No.
00:24:26Perfectly healthy, normal liver.
00:24:29Are you sure?
00:24:30Of course I'm sure.
00:24:32Well, something could have happened to it in the last few days now, couldn't it?
00:24:35Hardly.
00:24:38Are you quite sure?
00:24:39I'm quite sure, my dear.
00:24:41Well, I'm not, and I insist you examine me again.
00:24:50Operator, this is MJ.
00:24:51Get me my secretary, please.
00:24:54Hello, Lewis.
00:24:55Lewis, have all department heads report to my office.
00:24:58Yes, and I'll also want all financial statements, operating costs, wages, and a list of stockholders.
00:25:05Yes, MJ.
00:25:06Oh, Mr. Marsh, MJ is very anxious to see you.
00:25:09You'd better wait in her office.
00:25:10She'll be right back.
00:25:11Oh, I wasn't afraid of that.
00:25:17What are you doing here?
00:25:20Comes out different every time.
00:25:26Have you seen MJ yet?
00:25:28Just a glimpse.
00:25:29She told me to wait.
00:25:30Why didn't you wait for me at the police station?
00:25:31I told you I had a proposition I wanted to make to you.
00:25:33No, my mother told me never to accept propositions from strangers.
00:25:36Cute?
00:25:38Presume so.
00:25:39Well, Miss Drew will wish to make reparation to you for the inconvenience you've been caused, so here's a thousand dollars.
00:25:44Just sign this paper and the money is yours.
00:25:46It's just a matter of form.
00:25:47Uh-huh.
00:25:47So I'm to absolve you of all responsibility for false arrest on blackmail charges for the sum of one dollar and other considerations, right?
00:25:57Yes.
00:25:58No.
00:25:58How much do you want?
00:26:02Well, I don't know.
00:26:02That depends.
00:26:03What's the condition of this company?
00:26:05You know, financially?
00:26:06Not very good, Mr. Holmes.
00:26:09Not very good.
00:26:11Here's the statement of the true banks MJ asked for.
00:26:14I'm rather proud of it.
00:26:15Best year?
00:26:15We'll cut the losses a bit, eh, old man?
00:26:17Capital?
00:26:18Capital?
00:26:18Lossies?
00:26:18Look, we have a surplus of a million and a half.
00:26:20Oh, I know, but I can't say it.
00:26:21Oh, naughty, naughty.
00:26:23You'll never go to heaven.
00:26:23Must have been mistaken in the bookkeeping department, you see.
00:26:27Marsh?
00:26:27That's a dangerous statement to make.
00:26:29That's all right, old boy.
00:26:30Don't you bother your pretty little head about him.
00:26:33I believe you have a million and a half.
00:26:35Thank you, sir.
00:26:36Look, money isn't everything, you know.
00:26:37That's right.
00:26:38Oh, isn't MJ here?
00:26:41She asked for operating costs and the profit statement on the railroad lines.
00:26:45I hope she's in a good humor because there is no profit.
00:26:48No profit?
00:26:49Wonderful, wonderful.
00:26:50Tell him.
00:26:51Go ahead and tell him.
00:26:52How much did we lose?
00:26:53It's all right.
00:26:54MJ would want you to tell him.
00:26:56A hundred thousand.
00:26:57A hundred thousand.
00:26:58That evens up our bank profits.
00:27:00Yeah, that means you only have a million four hundred thousand left.
00:27:03That's hardly enough for me to live on.
00:27:05What do you want?
00:27:06I want MJ's shirt.
00:27:08Oh, let's keep this on a gentlemanly level.
00:27:11I happen to be a congenital cad with a hangover to boot, which makes me twice as mean.
00:27:16What's more, this waiting for the great Drew irks me.
00:27:19If she wants to talk business with me, I'll be available at this address.
00:27:24After nine o'clock tonight.
00:27:25I wonder if I'm rugged enough to get in the Marines.
00:27:37What made you think he was sick?
00:27:39Oh, dizzy spells, sudden weakness in the knees.
00:27:44Perhaps you experience some sort of emotional shock.
00:27:47Nonsense.
00:27:48I never experience emotional shocks.
00:27:50Please give me something for it.
00:27:51Oh, of course, of course.
00:27:53Here are some pills that will act as a sedative.
00:27:56Whenever the symptoms occur, you can take a cup off.
00:27:58However, too many will result in drowsiness.
00:28:01Consequently, if the troubles occur too often...
00:28:04All right, all right.
00:28:05Thank you, Dr. Cassell.
00:28:09Oh, MJ, here's our personnel turnover.
00:28:11Wave scale.
00:28:12Bring them along.
00:28:13These are the tables and the costs that you asked for, MJ.
00:28:15The next time any journalistic jerk price throwing mud at this company,
00:28:19I hope you'll know enough to deal with them properly.
00:28:21I want all heads of departments to...
00:28:23May I have a glass of water?
00:28:29Oh, yes, MJ.
00:28:43Now, to put the fear of Michael Holmes...
00:28:48All right, gentlemen, we'll show that scandal monger a few facts.
00:28:53He's gone back to Brooklyn.
00:28:56Brooklyn?
00:28:57Yes, you know, it's that place across the bridge.
00:28:58That way.
00:28:59And you let him go.
00:29:00Why didn't you hold him for me?
00:29:01Do I always...
00:29:03That'll be all, gentlemen.
00:29:14So he couldn't face me.
00:29:16All right, Marsh.
00:29:17I want you to draw up a brief prosecuting him for libel
00:29:21and defamation of character
00:29:22and any other charges you can think of
00:29:24that would bring redress for that rotten, scurrilous book he's been writing.
00:29:28Now, MJ, can you pay me $50,000 a year for my legal advice?
00:29:31What's that?
00:29:32Oh, it comes out different every time.
00:29:36Well, this is my advice.
00:29:38You cannot possibly prevent him from publishing that book.
00:29:41Ah.
00:29:42But he can sue you.
00:29:44He can sue me?
00:29:45He can sue you for assault, defamation of character, and false arrest.
00:29:49Well, pay him off, then.
00:29:51I tried to, but he took one look at those statements and...
00:29:53And you were stupid enough to let him see them.
00:29:55Fine thing.
00:29:56Who told you to do that?
00:29:58You did.
00:30:00Did you do anything I asked you to?
00:30:02Did you get his address?
00:30:03Yes, I got his address and an invitation for you for...
00:30:06Well, he'll be available after 9 o'clock tonight at his home, 991 Elton Street, Brooklyn.
00:30:13That's the only place where he'll discuss it, and he'll discuss it only with you.
00:30:17Of course, you're not going.
00:30:18Well, of course I am.
00:30:20Now, listen, MJ, he struck me as being a very headstrong young man.
00:30:24And after all, you're only a...
00:30:25Well, I'm only the head of this company.
00:30:27After all, what have I to be afraid of?
00:30:28Well, he did say something about wanting your shirt.
00:30:32That would be enough, Marsh.
00:30:34Yes, I imagine it would be for any man.
00:30:36Donnie, maybe I can get my shoes next week.
00:30:51Yeah, maybe.
00:30:52How about some jabber?
00:30:53I'll get it.
00:30:56I wonder who that is.
00:30:57I'll answer it.
00:30:58Okay.
00:30:58I'd like to see Mr. Michael Holmes.
00:31:07Oh, come in.
00:31:08He's on the second floor.
00:31:10Would you be good enough to tell him...
00:31:11Go right on up.
00:31:13Place to order your left.
00:31:21What's the matter?
00:31:23Nothing.
00:31:24Nothing at all.
00:31:25I think I've been working a little too hard lately.
00:31:29May I have a glass of water, please?
00:31:31Sure.
00:31:32Hey, Sue, bring a glass of water in here, will you?
00:31:35Maybe you ain't had enough sleep.
00:31:37I get feeling that way sometimes, after a long stretch of work.
00:31:41You see, I drive a truck.
00:31:42Here you are.
00:31:43Sue, this is Mike's girlfriend.
00:31:46Oh, I beg your pardon.
00:31:48I... Mr. Holmes...
00:31:48Oh, that's all right.
00:31:49Mike told us his girlfriend was coming around tonight.
00:31:51This is my wife, Sue, and I'm Johnny Johnson.
00:31:54How do you do?
00:31:54Likewise.
00:31:55You can guess what we think of Mike.
00:31:57You're lucky.
00:31:58Mike's the kind of a guy that would give you the shirt off his back.
00:32:03Shirt?
00:32:03Yeah.
00:32:07Did you say the second floor?
00:32:09Yeah.
00:32:09Do you think you can make it?
00:32:10Oh, yes, thank you.
00:32:12Gee, you're pretty.
00:32:13And, gee, I'm glad for Mike.
00:32:14You know, I've given up all hope.
00:32:16I've tried to make a match for him.
00:32:17He turns his nose up at all my friends.
00:32:19Says he doesn't want his kids to look like them.
00:32:21But, you know, if they looked like you, they'd really...
00:32:22Now so, don't embarrass her.
00:32:46Be right there.
00:32:47Come on in.
00:33:00Come on in.
00:33:00I want to know what was the idea of telling those people downstairs I was your girlfriend.
00:33:08Well, would you want me to tell them that you came here on business?
00:33:10Let me take your coat.
00:33:15Might as well be comfortable.
00:33:16Oh, thank you.
00:33:16It's too cold in here.
00:33:18Besides, our business won't take very long.
00:33:20My attorney said if I came here to see you that you'd sign the release.
00:33:24Naturally, I want to apologize for doing you an injustice.
00:33:27Oh, come on.
00:33:28There are certain transactions that shouldn't be rushed.
00:33:30I'd hate to look back on this and be sorry that we settled things too quickly.
00:33:34I'm willing to go as high as...
00:33:35Please, I'm not a businessman.
00:33:39I'm an artist, a writer, a creator of moods.
00:33:43I can't just plunge into things like my few captains of industry.
00:33:53There.
00:33:54Isn't that better?
00:33:56It's a little warm in here.
00:33:58There's more air over here.
00:34:10There's only one of the view like this, Inspiration Point.
00:34:13That's where everybody goes tonight.
00:34:14Suppose we make a start, Mr. Holmes.
00:34:16That's what I'm doing.
00:34:19Hey.
00:34:21Hey!
00:34:23Come on, take a look.
00:34:26Come on.
00:34:27Come on.
00:34:28Very pretty.
00:34:31How about $2,000?
00:34:33Why'd you leave the window so quickly?
00:34:34I said, how about $2,000?
00:34:37$2,000 what?
00:34:38$2,000.
00:34:39Ah, money.
00:34:40Yes, money.
00:34:44Listen.
00:34:47You know what that is, Maggie?
00:34:49The name is M.J. Drew, and that's the whistle of a dirty old scowl.
00:34:56No.
00:34:58That's the sob of a girl, Maggie.
00:35:04A girl crying for our men who went off to the South Seas and never came back.
00:35:09Because he fell for us wrong.
00:35:11Is this your business mood?
00:35:13It be.
00:35:13By my long gray beard, I've got it.
00:35:20I've got why you always have a desk in front of you.
00:35:22Why you have detectives standing outside the door.
00:35:24Why you torture your truck drivers in such delicate little ways.
00:35:28Why you drive your staff around with that hypothetical bullwhip.
00:35:32You're afraid of men.
00:35:33Oh, yes, you are, Maggie.
00:35:35You're afraid of them.
00:35:37And you're determined to make the world an unsafe place for men to live in.
00:35:40Oh, let's stop this nonsense.
00:35:42You, you...
00:35:43Sticks and stones, Maggie.
00:35:44Sticks and stones.
00:35:48That's why you're hiding behind the table.
00:35:49I wasn't aware that I was hiding behind the table.
00:36:04Did you ever go to inspiration point, Maggie?
00:36:06Did you ever go naked?
00:36:07When I want to be psychoanalyzed...
00:36:09Answer me or I promise I'll drag out the family wash when I sue.
00:36:13Did you ever go naked?
00:36:15No.
00:36:15Then I was right.
00:36:19I'm afraid of no man.
00:36:22Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
00:36:25Put your right hand on my shoulder.
00:36:27No.
00:36:29The desk between us again, Maggie?
00:36:35Now put the left one on the other shoulder.
00:36:40That's it.
00:36:42Now then, put your head on my chest.
00:36:45There, take it easy, baby.
00:36:52Take it easy.
00:36:54It's very simple.
00:36:56Relax.
00:36:58There's nothing to be afraid of.
00:37:00You want the place you will die?
00:37:11Relax.
00:37:14Yes, sir.
00:37:19follows...
00:37:24Do you watch me?
00:37:24No!
00:37:25It's not for me.
00:37:26I'm sorry.
00:37:26I don't want you.
00:37:27I don't want you.
00:37:28I don't want you.
00:37:28You must have been a beautiful day.
00:37:58You must have been a wonderful child.
00:38:01Good morning.
00:38:02First call for breakfast.
00:38:04I'm not hungry, thank you.
00:38:06Oh, how could you be so mean as to...
00:38:08When I came here in perfectly good faith and...
00:38:11What are you talking about?
00:38:16Well, this is today, isn't it?
00:38:18I came here yesterday.
00:38:21That's right.
00:38:22And these are your...
00:38:23These are your pajamas, aren't they?
00:38:27Susie!
00:38:28I know sugar's scarce, but you don't have to kill me to get it.
00:38:35Well, now you look rested.
00:38:36I never did see anybody so tired.
00:38:38You didn't even move when I undressed you.
00:38:47You wear the prettiest things.
00:38:49I showed them to Johnny.
00:38:50Good morning, Maggie.
00:39:01Mike told us your name was Maggie.
00:39:03Give us a kiss, Sue.
00:39:05Marmalade.
00:39:05Well, I got to run to do or die for the good old Drew Company.
00:39:08If I'm tardy, I'm going to explain to Vinegar Puss,
00:39:11otherwise known as the boss of the great Drew trucking lines,
00:39:14that I had to sleep with a friend last night that not only tosses in his sleep,
00:39:18but calls me baby.
00:39:19Why didn't you marry that guy, Maggie?
00:39:24Come on, 50 cents now for every five minutes you're late.
00:39:26Well, times are better.
00:39:26You can take off and be cute, but...
00:39:27Oh, wait a minute.
00:39:29Here's the dope on the driver's insurance you asked about.
00:39:32Goodbye, Maggie.
00:39:33What's wrong, Mike?
00:39:34Bye.
00:39:38I suppose you'll have Johnny fired.
00:39:40My clothes, please.
00:39:41I'm due at the office.
00:39:42Are you going to have him fired?
00:39:43You can call later and we'll arrange about the release.
00:39:48Get your room closed.
00:39:51Well, then leave the room.
00:39:53Well, this happens to be my room.
00:39:55Are you forgetting I'm your guest?
00:39:58No, no.
00:39:58I've already written Emily Post asking her what to do in a situation like this.
00:40:01I'm waiting to hear from her.
00:40:03Well, how do you expect me to get dressed if you're in the room?
00:40:09Well, really, you surprise me.
00:40:12What is this silly girlish modesty?
00:40:14I thought you considered yourself a sort of business deity.
00:40:18Just something to keep and trim for the good old stockholders.
00:40:22Come on, get up for the Drew company.
00:40:25Go ahead and get dressed.
00:40:26You're a machine, not a woman.
00:40:28You've no right to assume any of the feminine graces.
00:40:33You're a machine, not a woman, but a woman, but a woman, but a woman, but a woman, but a woman, but a woman, but a woman, but a woman, but a woman, but a woman, and a woman, and a woman, and a woman, and a woman, and a woman, and a woman, and a woman, and a woman, and a woman, and a woman, and a woman, and a woman, and a woman, and a woman, and a woman, and a woman, and a woman, and a woman, and a woman, and a woman, and a woman, and a woman, and a woman, and a woman, and a woman, and a woman, and a woman, and a woman, and a woman, and a woman, and a woman, and a woman, and a woman, and a woman, and a woman, and a woman, and a woman, and a woman, and a woman, and a woman, and a woman, and a woman, and a woman,
00:41:03Oh good morning MJ.
00:41:22Morning.
00:41:23Your maid was here.
00:41:26She left a change of clothes in your office.
00:41:28And also waiting in your office...
00:41:30Hello.
00:41:32That's what I was trying to tell you.
00:41:35And your mother phoned.
00:41:36She said she was worried because you didn't come home last night.
00:41:39Call her and tell her I'm quite alright.
00:41:41That I spent the night at the Sherry business engagement.
00:41:46Yes MJ.
00:41:47Vivian, why are you here? What's happened?
00:41:49Well, we started on our way south, just as you'd planned.
00:41:53And we got to Baltimore.
00:41:55Oh Margaret, the strangest thing happened the day we started out.
00:41:58Why are you here? Why did you come back?
00:42:00When Steven and I got in the car and he said...
00:42:03And now young lady.
00:42:05Not only did my knee shake, but I just trembled all over.
00:42:08Oh Vivian, for goodness sakes, get to your reason for coming back.
00:42:11Oh.
00:42:12Well, we got to Baltimore.
00:42:14And we got up in the morning.
00:42:17And...
00:42:18Oh Margaret, he's so, so meticulous.
00:42:21He's the only person I know who puts the cat back on his toothpaste.
00:42:24All right, all right.
00:42:26Come on, let's take it step by step.
00:42:30Steven got up in the morning, he brushed his teeth.
00:42:33He put the cat back on the toothpaste.
00:42:34Then what happened?
00:42:36Well, Margaret, I don't see why I have to tell you everything about that morning.
00:42:42After all, the reason we came back happened after breakfast.
00:42:45All right, what happened after breakfast?
00:42:47What happened after breakfast?
00:42:48What happened after breakfast?
00:42:49I don't know.
00:42:50You don't know?
00:42:51Well, he just read the old financial page of the newspaper and made some telephone calls,
00:42:57but...
00:42:58Oh.
00:42:59And he came back because of business.
00:43:01Come on, unzip me, good old Steven.
00:43:03He's always on his toes, never lets an opportunity go by.
00:43:14This came marked rush, important.
00:43:16I thought I'd better bring it in.
00:43:17Well, Margaret, who's sending you flowers?
00:43:36It's just a business note.
00:43:45An eccentric from out west, he's very wealthy.
00:43:48He always sends violets with his notes.
00:43:51His wife's name is Violet, and if they...
00:43:53He thinks that brings him luck.
00:43:55Silly, isn't it?
00:43:56Why, I think it's touching.
00:43:57I think it's rubbish.
00:43:59Maggie, don't you ever have any clothes on?
00:44:02Oh.
00:44:03How did you get into here?
00:44:05The door.
00:44:07You better keep it closed if you don't want a burlicue audience in here.
00:44:10Lewis, that'll be all, and close the door.
00:44:13Close the door, I have to say.
00:44:17Vivian, you'd better run along, too.
00:44:19And leave you the way you are?
00:44:21Oh, excuse me.
00:44:26Oh, my goodness.
00:44:31What's wrong?
00:44:32You know, I have the strangest feeling I've seen you someplace before.
00:44:36I even feel that at some time or another you've kissed me.
00:44:39Well, could be.
00:44:41Nonsense, Vivian.
00:44:43Mr. Holmes never saw you before.
00:44:45Mr. Holmes and I are barely acquainted.
00:44:47We have a business deal on.
00:44:49Yeah, we were just about to settle things last night,
00:44:51and then Maggie went to sleep right in the middle of the discussion.
00:44:54Oh, at the Sherry?
00:44:56Of course not.
00:44:58Mr. Holmes doesn't live at the Sherry.
00:45:00Here, you run along the hotel.
00:45:01Oh, tell Mother I'll be home for dinner.
00:45:02Goodbye, Mr. Holmes.
00:45:03Goodbye.
00:45:04Goodbye.
00:45:05Did you get my note?
00:45:10No.
00:45:11Well, that's too bad.
00:45:12I thought I might get here ahead of me.
00:45:13By the way, did you fire Johnny yet?
00:45:15Suppose we discuss the price you're placing on the release.
00:45:19The price is nothing.
00:45:20Surprised, huh?
00:45:21Surprised is something that money and influence can't buy.
00:45:23Well, that's just why I'm giving it to you.
00:45:24I want you to know that.
00:45:25I particularly want you to know it when you go down to fire Johnny.
00:45:27Let me have it.
00:45:28Oh, I'll admit there are a lot of wonderful things you can buy with money.
00:45:31And the ones you can't are pretty insignificant.
00:45:33Things like friendship, kindness, laughter, new set attires.
00:45:37Oh, Maggie, before I sign this, there's something I wish you'd promised me.
00:45:41Yes.
00:45:42It isn't much.
00:45:43I don't know.
00:45:44I don't know.
00:45:45I don't know.
00:45:46I don't know.
00:45:47I don't know.
00:45:48I don't know.
00:45:49I don't know.
00:45:50I don't know.
00:45:51I don't know.
00:45:52I don't know.
00:45:53I don't know.
00:45:54I don't know.
00:45:55I don't know.
00:45:56I don't know.
00:45:57I don't know.
00:45:58Yes.
00:45:59If I can borrow the money, will you have dinner with me tonight?
00:46:02Oh, of course.
00:46:04Good.
00:46:05Good.
00:46:16And tomorrow night?
00:46:18Why, of course, I haven't a thing to do.
00:46:21Well, we'll say eight o'clock then at your house.
00:46:24We won't rest.
00:46:26We won't rest.
00:46:39Oh, I just remembered I have a very important engagement tonight.
00:46:43I'm so sorry.
00:46:45That's what I thought.
00:46:47Board of Directors meeting at your house.
00:46:50Tomorrow night, Drew Bank trustees meeting.
00:46:54I suppose in business circles, that's what you call shrewd trading.
00:46:57If you feel cheated, Mr. Holmes, you may drop by the cashiers.
00:47:04Hoover, a Mr. Holmes will drop by.
00:47:07Give him a thousand dollars and charge it to my personal account.
00:47:10We'll find Hoover at the end of the hall.
00:47:12Now, Mr. Holmes, I'm a very busy woman.
00:47:18Over the way, you better take a look at that signature on the release.
00:47:33By the chief.
00:47:34Crane.
00:47:35We have a driver working for us by the name of Johnny Johnson.
00:47:40Yes, he's on the dance committee.
00:47:41Well, I want him...
00:47:42I want...
00:47:43You'd like to see him, MJ?
00:47:44No, we'll discuss him later.
00:47:45Yes, MJ.
00:47:46Fire him!
00:47:47Yes, MJ!
00:47:49Fire him!
00:47:50Yes, MJ.
00:47:52Fire him!
00:47:54Yes, MJ?
00:47:55Fire him!
00:47:56Fire him!
00:47:57Yes, MJ.
00:47:58Fire him.
00:47:59Yes, he's on the dance committee.
00:48:01I want him...
00:48:02I want...
00:48:03You'd like to see him, MJ?
00:48:05No, we'll discuss him later.
00:48:07Yes, MJ.
00:48:08Fire him!
00:48:10Yes, MJ.
00:48:11Oh, I don't know if you could have good stuff.
00:48:15Crane, rescind that order. He's not to be fired.
00:48:21Yes, MJ. She rescinded an order.
00:48:24She rescinded an order?
00:48:35I want to see Mr. Holmes.
00:48:39Why did you whistle?
00:48:40Did I whistle?
00:48:41Yes, you went like this.
00:48:43Or maybe it's a dress.
00:48:45You sure look elegant laches.
00:48:47But I don't know if it's safe to wear to the dance.
00:48:50To the dance?
00:48:51Sure. That's where Mike is.
00:48:54Why, he was supposed to take me to dinner.
00:48:56Everything's all crossed up.
00:48:58Mike goes ahead without you.
00:49:00Susie goes ahead without me.
00:49:02Susie drops me a note.
00:49:04Just because I'm a little late.
00:49:06You tell him I was here.
00:49:07Wait a minute. None of that.
00:49:08You can go with me and I'll try to remember Mike as my best friend.
00:49:11Here, come here.
00:49:13No riding on subways for my gals, Maggie.
00:49:16Nothing but the best.
00:49:17We travel in style.
00:49:18It's not a truck.
00:49:19Sure, climb aboard.
00:49:20No, I don't think I'd better.
00:49:21Come on.
00:49:22It's raining.
00:49:31It says positively no riders.
00:49:33Won't this get you into trouble?
00:49:34No.
00:49:35No spotters out on a night like this.
00:49:37Hello?
00:49:39Hello?
00:49:40Hello, Johnny.
00:49:41Didn't know you were on tonight.
00:49:42Special trip.
00:49:43I didn't know you went to work all dressed up like that.
00:49:44Oh, I'd like to be nice.
00:49:45You wouldn't be going to the employee's dance in a company trip, would you, Johnny?
00:49:46Uh-uh.
00:49:47Uh-uh.
00:49:48Well, that's good.
00:49:49I'd like you to obey all the rules.
00:49:50Now, if that dame will get up off the floor of your cab, you can keep going.
00:49:52Do you blame me?
00:49:53No, I'd do the same myself.
00:49:54Nice.
00:49:55But rules are rules.
00:49:56I don't know.
00:49:57I'm sorry.
00:49:58I didn't know you're going to the employee's dance in a company trip.
00:49:59I didn't know you went to work all dressed up like that.
00:50:02I didn't know you went to work all dressed up like that.
00:50:03I'd like to be nice.
00:50:04Uh, you wouldn't be going to the employee's dance in a company trip, would you, Johnny?
00:50:08Uh-uh.
00:50:09Well, that's good.
00:50:10I'd like you to obey all the rules.
00:50:12Now, if that dame will get up off the floor of your cab, you can keep going.
00:50:15Do you blame me?
00:50:18No, I do the same myself.
00:50:19Nice.
00:50:20But rules are rules.
00:50:22Come on, sister.
00:50:23This is the end of the line.
00:50:24But it's raining.
00:50:25Take track up with the weatherman.
00:50:34I'm sorry, sister.
00:50:35This cab is taken.
00:50:46Taxi!
00:50:48Taxi!
00:50:49Taxi!
00:50:51Hey, thank you, thank you.
00:50:52I'm parked around the corner.
00:50:53Hey, grab my hat, somebody.
00:50:54Hiya, Johnny.
00:50:55Your brother's here.
00:50:56Nice girlfriend you got there, Johnny.
00:50:57Hey, Johnny.
00:50:58I'll swap you for her.
00:50:59Get this to the refreshment committee before we start.
00:51:03Maybe.
00:51:04Hello, Papa.
00:51:05Hello, Papa.
00:51:06Well, hello, Mark.
00:51:07I'm turning you in for a new model.
00:51:08Oh, hello, Maggie.
00:51:09Oh, hello, Maggie.
00:51:10I'm turning you in for a new model.
00:51:11Oh, hello, Maggie.
00:51:12What is this?
00:51:13Hey, Mike.
00:51:14Here's your ball of fluff.
00:51:15Don't leave her lying around loose like this.
00:51:16The place is full of mooches.
00:51:17You kiss a hello while we're snagging a couple of red hots.
00:51:18Come on, Susie.
00:51:19Bring your dog catch his neck, will you?
00:51:20Well, well, well.
00:51:21The employees of the MJ Drew Company are highly honored.
00:51:22They don't know who I am and I don't want them to.
00:51:23I came here because of you.
00:51:24Oh, darling.
00:51:25Why don't you do something about that glandular condition of yours.
00:51:26I came here to have dinner with you.
00:51:27That was the deal.
00:51:28Dinner?
00:51:29Oh, no, no.
00:51:30You're not.
00:51:31I'm not.
00:51:32You're not.
00:51:33I'm not.
00:51:34I'm not.
00:51:35I'm not.
00:51:36I'm not.
00:51:37I'm not.
00:51:38I'm not.
00:51:39I'm not.
00:51:40I'm not.
00:51:41I'm not.
00:51:42I'm not.
00:51:43I'm not.
00:51:44I'm not.
00:51:45I'm not.
00:51:46I'm not.
00:51:47I'm not.
00:51:48I'm not.
00:51:49I'm not.
00:51:50I'm not.
00:51:51Well, they're going to have dinner with you.
00:51:52That was the deal.
00:51:53Dinner for the release.
00:51:54I thought when I saw the dress that maybe you'd left the desk in the office.
00:51:57Here you are, folks.
00:51:58The bicarbonate of soda will be served on the way out.
00:52:00No, thank God.
00:52:01I don't care for any.
00:52:02Oh, you've got to eat it.
00:52:03It's paid for.
00:52:04That's just good economics.
00:52:05Come on, Susie.
00:52:06Let's cut up the parquet strip by strip.
00:52:10I hope this doesn't go away with the same impression of you that I had.
00:52:13I don't care for Frank-Futters.
00:52:15Don't call it that.
00:52:16It'll rear right up and bite you.
00:52:18That's a hot dog.
00:52:19Did you ever eat them?
00:52:20Oh, of course I have.
00:52:21And you don't like them?
00:52:22Oh, come on.
00:52:23Everybody likes hot dogs, even the Queen of England.
00:52:25But she takes time off in the business of being a queen.
00:52:29To be a woman.
00:52:32Give me that hot dog.
00:52:41Come on.
00:52:43A couple of beers.
00:52:44Ladies and gentlemen, we're about to commence the dance contest.
00:52:52Now, these are the rules.
00:52:53No one's to dance with his own girl or wife.
00:52:56On account of he could practice at home, and that ain't fair.
00:52:58So you gotta grab yourself another partner.
00:53:01When I tap you on the shoulders, get off the floor.
00:53:04The judges are myself.
00:53:09Hella hand the south route driver.
00:53:11Hiya, folks.
00:53:12And Mr. Crane from the personnel.
00:53:14Grab your partners and may the best set of Gans win.
00:53:22Come on, I've got to get out of here.
00:53:24Good night.
00:53:25Why aren't you going to buy me dinner?
00:53:26Sure.
00:53:27Two more hot dogs.
00:53:29Me for you, Maggie.
00:53:31School for you.
00:53:32Come on, actually.
00:53:33Three more hot dogs.
00:53:33You ever named Me?
00:53:38Two more hot dogs.
00:53:42We're going to get out of here.
00:53:44coli.
00:53:45We're not going to be done.
00:53:46We're going to get out of here.
00:53:48Oh, Pastor muy!
00:53:51Oh, Pastor.
00:53:52Two more hot dogs.
00:53:52One more hot dogs.
00:53:53Oh, Pastor?
00:53:54It's got to get out of here.
00:53:55Ho, Pastor green was right in here.
00:53:56신い.
00:53:57Two more hot dogs.
00:53:57And you can do it.
00:53:57Yeah, we're going to be better fine.
00:53:58So if I can hear you go for you.
00:53:59Hey, that guy will kill somebody.
00:54:11We'd better get him off the floor.
00:54:13Wait a minute, boys.
00:54:14This is class dancing.
00:54:14That's why we don't understand.
00:54:18Look at that rhythm.
00:54:19Look at that flow of motion.
00:54:21Why, it's poetry.
00:54:22It might be poetry, but it ain't dancing.
00:54:25Smile, my niece.
00:54:26They're watching us.
00:54:29It's getting kind of rough.
00:54:48But can she take it?
00:54:50Hang on to your bustle, Maggie.
00:55:01It's the last lap.
00:55:05I've seen that before, but never on any dance floor.
00:55:08Oh, you must listen to me.
00:55:09You don't know what's at stake if we don't pick the right couple.
00:55:11I do.
00:55:13Awful.
00:55:13Okay, but next year, don't you ask me to be the judge.
00:55:17Come on, Sam.
00:55:21Ladies and gentlemen, the winner!
00:55:31Mike, soon!
00:55:33Better give some to Mike.
00:55:34He looks a little green.
00:55:35I bet you saw yourself a widower before you were even a husband.
00:55:39All she had was a little colic.
00:55:41Yeah.
00:55:42You should have held her over your shoulder and patted her on her back after feeding her.
00:55:46That's what brings up the air.
00:55:51I don't believe it.
00:55:53You can smile.
00:55:56Hey, Johnny, give her another swig.
00:55:58You don't know what an occasion this is.
00:56:00Why, there'll be people dancing in the streets tonight.
00:56:03Stranger kissing strangers.
00:56:05The beginning of a new era.
00:56:07Come on, give me another one of those.
00:56:11I missed a can of floor wax when Papa's making this.
00:56:14Why don't we put it in here?
00:56:17Johnny, you're a wonderful host and a charming fellow, isn't he, Mike?
00:56:23Uh-huh.
00:56:23Well, I tell you what, tomorrow, I'll see that you get a $5 race.
00:56:32Did I say $5?
00:56:34Oh, you're much too charming for five.
00:56:36We'll make that ten.
00:56:38Oh, Maggie, that's great.
00:56:40And just to show you my appreciation,
00:56:43I'm going to buy the Brooklyn Bridge and have it stretched from Mike's house to yours
00:56:46so that when you want to see each other, you won't have to buck all that traffic.
00:56:50Oh, how sweet.
00:56:54Mike, will you write me a pretty speech of except...
00:56:56Except...
00:56:58Oh.
00:57:01No.
00:57:02Uh-oh.
00:57:02Oh, uh-oh.
00:57:03The expression is, oh, brother.
00:57:06Oh, that's nice, thank you.
00:57:09When they deliver the Brooklyn Bridge tomorrow,
00:57:12will you please see that they don't wake me up?
00:57:14Yes.
00:57:15Uh, by the way, is your chauffeur available?
00:57:18He's off tonight.
00:57:20But I would be delighted to drive you myself.
00:57:23That's just charming of you, old boy.
00:57:25So nice.
00:57:26It's been a charming evening, Charlie.
00:57:27You come again, old boy.
00:57:29Thank you so much.
00:57:30I do hope this isn't putting you to too much trouble, old boy.
00:57:33Well, it is.
00:57:34Well, what can I do about it?
00:57:36Not a thing.
00:57:36Get going.
00:57:37Johnny, where are you?
00:57:48Ah, I'm blind!
00:57:49I can't see anybody!
00:57:51Hey, hey, hey, hey, Susie.
00:57:52Not so loud.
00:57:53You want to wake the neighbors?
00:57:55Do you want them to know my wife is a lush?
00:57:58Come on.
00:57:58Oh, I must have been a beautiful baby.
00:58:08I must have been a...
00:58:10What's the second line like?
00:58:13You must have been a wonderful child.
00:58:16I must have been a wonderful child.
00:58:19When you were...
00:58:20I was too, didn't I?
00:58:23Well, I have pictures to improve it, if you don't believe me.
00:58:25I had dimples all over me.
00:58:30Well, of course, I can't show you those.
00:58:32You're still a beautiful baby.
00:58:35You're a doll.
00:58:36What did you call him?
00:58:38Beautiful baby doll.
00:58:40Oh.
00:58:41Oh, say it again.
00:58:43You're a beautiful doll, baby.
00:58:46Oh, Johnny.
00:58:48Johnny, Johnny, did you hear what he called me?
00:58:51Huh?
00:58:52Did you hear what he called me?
00:58:54Huh?
00:58:54God, I'm telling you what you called me.
00:58:56A beautiful baby doll.
00:58:58Oh.
00:59:01Oh.
00:59:02I didn't think anybody would ever call me that.
00:59:06You know, I think I'm going to cry.
00:59:13Oh.
00:59:14Oh.
00:59:15Oh.
00:59:15Oh.
00:59:16Oh.
00:59:16Oh.
00:59:17Oh.
00:59:17Oh.
00:59:18Oh.
00:59:18Oh.
00:59:19Oh.
00:59:19Oh.
00:59:20Oh.
00:59:20Oh.
00:59:21Oh.
00:59:22Oh.
00:59:22Oh.
00:59:23Oh.
00:59:23Oh.
00:59:23Oh.
00:59:24Oh.
00:59:26Who is it?
00:59:26What do you want?
00:59:28Where are your manners?
00:59:30Oh.
00:59:31I'm sorry.
00:59:33Somebody just called me a beautiful doll.
00:59:36I suppose you don't believe it.
00:59:37Gone, Mike.
00:59:38Gone short.
00:59:39She's a beautiful doll.
00:59:41There.
00:59:43Oh, Mike.
00:59:44I'll never forget you for good.
00:59:47I'll never forget you, baby.
00:59:48I'll tell you what.
00:59:49Let's none of us forget each other.
00:59:52Don't you think that's a good idea?
00:59:53A horrible idea.
00:59:54Yeah.
00:59:55I...
00:59:55Oh, I suppose it isn't.
00:59:57Wonderful.
00:59:58Oh, he's really a wonderful...
01:00:00You're a wonderful watcher.
01:00:02Thank you, ma'am.
01:00:04Good night.
01:00:05Good night, Susie.
01:00:06Good night, Johnny.
01:00:07Good night.
01:00:09Say good night to Maggie.
01:00:11Good night.
01:00:12You go back to sleep now.
01:00:14Hey, Mike.
01:00:16How long you gonna be...
01:00:19What is this, John?
01:00:20What do you see?
01:00:21This is the Drew estate.
01:00:22What was that?
01:00:26That was Miss Drew.
01:00:28Who?
01:00:29MJ Drew of the Drew Trucking Lines.
01:00:33Oh, no.
01:00:46You know something?
01:00:49This is my favorite room.
01:00:52Oh, I feel so good, Mike.
01:00:59My knees are shaky and my head's dizzy,
01:01:02but, you know, I don't feel weak.
01:01:06Oh, I feel strong and warm.
01:01:10Oh, so warm.
01:01:13Shall I open the door?
01:01:14No, the door is too far away.
01:01:17Oh, darling.
01:01:19Don't ever go that far away from me, will you?
01:01:21Oh, look.
01:01:26There's no desk between us.
01:01:29There's no desk, no detective.
01:01:33No nothing.
01:01:36You better go to bed, Margaret.
01:01:39The name is Maggie.
01:01:40It's been a full day, Maggie.
01:01:43The name is Baby.
01:01:45No, please go to bed, Baby.
01:01:47Please.
01:01:48Oh, Mike.
01:01:50I can't just plunge into sleep.
01:01:53I'm a creature of moods.
01:01:56I want you to be the first to dance with me.
01:02:11Hmm?
01:02:12Mm-hmm.
01:02:13You know, I've never really danced before.
01:02:15Oh, you have, sir.
01:02:16Oh, well, I moved around the room with the man
01:02:19because it was expected of me.
01:02:21Sure, yeah.
01:02:23Tonight, I want to dance.
01:02:25No, we danced enough this evening.
01:02:28Look, Baby, I've had a tough day.
01:02:30I'm going to get some sleep.
01:02:32Do you know what's the matter with you?
01:02:34I'm sleepy.
01:02:35Do you know why you've always got a typewriter in front of you?
01:02:39Because you're scared.
01:02:40You're scared somebody will find out what a Puritan you are.
01:02:44That's why you're always attacking conventionality and everything.
01:02:49You're, uh, Prissy.
01:02:51That's what you are.
01:02:52You're Prissy, Mike.
01:02:56Prissy, Mike.
01:02:59No.
01:03:02Oh, those years without you, Mike.
01:03:05It was awful, awful years.
01:03:15Oh, Mike.
01:03:18It's 10.30.
01:03:20Just as I told you, she phoned.
01:03:22She's on her way in.
01:03:24Will you tell MJ I'd like to see her?
01:03:26She's not in yet, Mr. Crane.
01:03:28First prize awarded Margaret Johanna Drew for jitterbugging.
01:03:33Jitterbugging.
01:03:35The only time MJ ever jitterbugged is when someone gave her a hot foot at a slumming party.
01:03:40Mr. Crane.
01:03:43Notify all departments to practice up.
01:03:46I'd like a little stiffer competition next year.
01:03:48Yes, MJ.
01:03:49Oh, uh, by the way, I won't be able to see any of you gentlemen.
01:03:53I'm much too busy.
01:03:57I can't believe it.
01:03:58I can't believe it.
01:04:00What?
01:04:00The jitterbugging?
01:04:01No, the hat.
01:04:03Did it come with the cup?
01:04:04Yes.
01:04:05No, no.
01:04:06Oh, uh, there's a board here.
01:04:23There's a board here that squeaks every time you step on it.
01:04:38It's very disconcerting.
01:04:41Very.
01:04:42You send for me, MJ?
01:04:45Oh, yes.
01:04:47Come in.
01:04:48We have a driver working for us by the name of Johnny Johnson.
01:04:54I want you to give him a...
01:04:55He's already been fired.
01:04:57Twelve others were fired with him.
01:04:59They all used their trucks last night.
01:05:01Who gave you the authority to fire those men?
01:05:03That's the rules.
01:05:05First time a fine, second time dismissal.
01:05:07Oh, I will not tolerate this abuse of authority.
01:05:11You'll rehire every one of those men
01:05:12and give them each a five-dollar raise for their inconvenience.
01:05:14Yes, MJ.
01:05:16Since you're in the firing mood,
01:05:18you can fire one of our spotters.
01:05:19Which one?
01:05:20I don't know his name,
01:05:21but he's got squinty eyes and hawk nose.
01:05:23Pin mouth?
01:05:23Yes, that's he.
01:05:24Why, he's been with us for years.
01:05:25I don't care.
01:05:26He's a sneak.
01:05:27Well, that's what he's supposed to be.
01:05:28When I want to sneak, I'll get the best.
01:05:37Come in.
01:05:59Good morning, sir.
01:06:00I brought you breakfast.
01:06:02Listen.
01:06:04Tell me the worst.
01:06:05How did I get...
01:06:06I put you to bed last night, sir.
01:06:09And what happened to Miss Drew?
01:06:10She took one of the guests' bedrooms, sir.
01:06:15Where'd you dig up the sleeping bag?
01:06:17My pajamas are a bit small, sir,
01:06:19so I borrowed that thing from the cook.
01:06:22She must belong to the parachute battalion.
01:06:25By the way, sir,
01:06:26there's a gentleman downstairs for you, sir.
01:06:29His name is Johnny Johnson.
01:06:31Johnny here?
01:06:32Send him up.
01:06:33Yes, sir.
01:06:34Oh, yeah, Mom.
01:06:35You don't have to send for me.
01:06:37Hi, Johnny.
01:06:39So, listen, that stuff your old man made
01:06:41can put a guy in some pretty embarrassing positions.
01:06:45Very embarrassing.
01:06:46Come on in, I can give you some coffee.
01:06:47You don't want that phony book
01:06:48you're supposed to be writing.
01:06:50Phony book?
01:06:51You're using it to weasel your way in with us.
01:06:53Getting us to talk.
01:06:54Then ringing a big boss in on us.
01:06:57Wait a minute.
01:06:58Who's got the hangover?
01:06:59You or me?
01:07:00I'm talking about the guys
01:07:01you were supposed to write about
01:07:02to let people know about.
01:07:03The little guys.
01:07:04The USA.
01:07:05The guys you ate with, drank with,
01:07:06and laughed with last night.
01:07:08The guys you sold out this morning.
01:07:10The guys with the cans tied to their tails.
01:07:14Cans tied to...
01:07:16You mean you guys were fired this morning?
01:07:19What did you get for it?
01:07:20Outside of a few personal favors,
01:07:22Miss Drew seems to be tossing you in the way.
01:07:24Oh, shut up, Johnny.
01:07:24Shut up!
01:07:25Wasn't it you said we little guys were too quiet?
01:07:28That we should raise our voices to be heard?
01:07:30Well, I'm raising my voice.
01:07:32I got a pretty low opinion of a stool pigeon,
01:07:34but a guy that sells out his friends for a skirt...
01:07:36You better stay right here where you belong.
01:07:48Don't come down to us little guys again.
01:07:49Because if you do,
01:07:50we'll tear you apart and feed you to the lions.
01:07:52Come on in.
01:08:01It's not my house.
01:08:03I'm Mrs. Drew, Margaret's mother.
01:08:05Well?
01:08:08Really, I am.
01:08:09I know I don't look it, but I am.
01:08:11Aren't I, Stephen?
01:08:12I can vouch for it.
01:08:13Mr. Holmes,
01:08:14you've got a lot of money, haven't you?
01:08:16Oh, mother, please.
01:08:17Oh, but he has.
01:08:18Margaret told Vivian,
01:08:19and Vivian told me and you.
01:08:20And there's no use trying to borrow money
01:08:22from a man who hasn't got any money.
01:08:24Mr. Holmes,
01:08:25how would you like to make 8%
01:08:26on $30,000 for six months?
01:08:29I'd love it.
01:08:30Then you'll let me have the money.
01:08:31Come on, cut it out.
01:08:33What would a guy with $2 million
01:08:34want with a loan of a measly $30,000?
01:08:36I haven't got a nickel.
01:08:38You haven't got a nickel?
01:08:40He hasn't got any?
01:08:41No.
01:08:42Oh, so you're one of those Park Avenue pirates.
01:08:47You married Vivian under false pretenses,
01:08:49you little chiseler.
01:08:50Didn't it ever occur to you
01:08:51that I love Vivian?
01:08:52So what?
01:08:53You're not a success, are you?
01:08:55You know what MJ does with guys like you?
01:08:57She presses a little buzzer,
01:08:58out pop a couple of stooges,
01:09:00and you pop in jail, I know.
01:09:02Yes, but you won't tell.
01:09:03You look like a gentleman.
01:09:05Even if you do have your coat off,
01:09:07you will lend him the $30,000, won't you?
01:09:12You will lend him the money, won't you?
01:09:15Won't you?
01:09:15Why don't you lend it to him yourself?
01:09:17Well, you see, I get $50 a week spending money.
01:09:21Margaret says I don't know the value of money.
01:09:23Of course I do.
01:09:25My dad left a steel mill and debts.
01:09:27I've cleared the estate of debts.
01:09:28I still own the mill.
01:09:29With this new defense program,
01:09:30I can get government contracts,
01:09:32but I must put up 10% of my bids in cash.
01:09:34Where's my hat?
01:09:34Oh, Mr. Holmes,
01:09:36if Stephen should fail,
01:09:38I know he won't,
01:09:39but if he should,
01:09:40I'll pay you back $50 a week.
01:09:45If you do open this steel mill,
01:09:47you'll employ truck drivers, won't you?
01:09:48Yes, but you can't employ men in a closed mill.
01:09:52You got a blank check handy?
01:09:53Oh, we've got a oodles of checks in the library.
01:09:56Any particular bank?
01:09:58No, it doesn't make any difference.
01:09:59Any bank.
01:10:00Stephen, isn't he wonderful?
01:10:01He's got money in every bank.
01:10:03Oh, you are a darling.
01:10:05Oh, do forgive me.
01:10:07Margaret says I have no control.
01:10:08You're very sweet.
01:10:10Are you sure when Margaret was born,
01:10:12they didn't make a mistake at the hospital
01:10:13and give you the wrong brat?
01:10:14Oh, no, that's not possible.
01:10:17Stephen, do you think they could have...
01:10:20Oh, I wonder.
01:10:22You must have been a beautiful baby.
01:10:27You must have been a wonderful child.
01:10:31Yes?
01:10:33The heads of departments are waiting in the conference room.
01:10:37Lewis, you're knitting again.
01:10:40Well, it's just a habit.
01:10:42It really takes no time.
01:10:44Bring it in.
01:10:46Yes, MJ.
01:10:47How's it done?
01:11:07Liz?
01:11:08Mm-hmm.
01:11:10Well, it's really very simple.
01:11:12Here, try it.
01:11:13Oh, no, I'm afraid I'd spoil it.
01:11:16Oh, no, you wouldn't spoil it.
01:11:19You would like to try it, wouldn't you?
01:11:21Mm-hmm, I would, really.
01:11:23Oh.
01:11:26Here.
01:11:27Now, you put your hand here
01:11:28and the other hand over here.
01:11:30That's it.
01:11:31Mm-hmm.
01:11:31And take this yarn, like that.
01:11:35MJ, the heads of departments are ready for you.
01:11:37Yeah, I'll be with you in a minute.
01:11:39I'm busy.
01:11:41Don't be afraid.
01:11:43You're married, aren't you?
01:11:45Yes, MJ.
01:11:46Three years.
01:11:47You didn't say that's all you do
01:11:48when it comes out of sweat, huh?
01:11:50Well, not exactly.
01:11:51What's it like?
01:11:53Hmm?
01:11:53What's being married like?
01:11:56Oh, I never stop to think about it.
01:11:58Why not?
01:11:59Well, after a while,
01:12:02you even stopped feeling
01:12:03there was a time when you weren't married.
01:12:05Don't you ever get bored?
01:12:08Yes.
01:12:09And how, yes.
01:12:12Some mornings, I come in here
01:12:13very grateful for my job.
01:12:16But then around five o'clock...
01:12:19Oh, I don't watch the clock,
01:12:20but you know it's five o'clock
01:12:22because you start feeling as if
01:12:23there was something missing.
01:12:27You get lonely.
01:12:29I guess that's what it is.
01:12:32Most of it is.
01:12:34And you start counting the minutes
01:12:36till you meet them
01:12:36where you always do
01:12:37in front of the subway entrance.
01:12:39Don't you get dizzy
01:12:40and don't your knees shake?
01:12:42The first year,
01:12:43you're on a perpetual
01:12:44St. Vitus dance.
01:12:46Only for a year?
01:12:48Oh, the light's just right on his hair.
01:12:51Sometimes with the soft music,
01:12:54you do a little shaking.
01:12:56Well, then all marriage
01:12:58really becomes as a habit.
01:13:00Oh, beautiful habit.
01:13:04Often terrifying habit.
01:13:07Sometimes you wake up in the night
01:13:10and you lie there listening to him breathe
01:13:12and it's dark.
01:13:13So dark,
01:13:14it doesn't seem as though
01:13:16the morning's going to come.
01:13:17and you lie there
01:13:19and you say,
01:13:20dear God,
01:13:23take me first.
01:13:26Promise you'll take me first?
01:13:28Oh, Mike.
01:13:38That'll be all of us.
01:13:42Thank you for last night.
01:13:43I'll never forget it.
01:13:44Neither will a lot of other people.
01:13:46What's the matter?
01:13:47You're white.
01:13:48Isn't that the usual color
01:13:49of the Caucasian race?
01:13:52What's that?
01:13:53The release.
01:13:55Sign,
01:13:55and with my own name this time.
01:13:57But you know
01:13:57that isn't necessary.
01:13:59And you better read it first.
01:14:00In consideration
01:14:13of the sum
01:14:13of 30,000...
01:14:1530,000 dollars?
01:14:18I don't understand.
01:14:20That's very clear.
01:14:2130,000.
01:14:22A three with four zeros after it.
01:14:24You know, money.
01:14:25The stuff they print in Washington
01:14:26and sing in the ground
01:14:27at Fort Knox.
01:14:28You must be joking.
01:14:31Come on, come on.
01:14:32Make out a little check
01:14:33and I'll be on my way
01:14:34and out of yours.
01:14:35There must be thousands
01:14:36of tons of stuff
01:14:37just waiting to be transported
01:14:39from one place to another
01:14:40and drew trucks.
01:14:41I don't want you
01:14:41to waste any time on me.
01:14:43Where'd you say
01:14:43I'd find the cashier?
01:14:47Yes, Lewis.
01:14:48Show Mr. Holmes
01:14:49to the cashiers.
01:14:50See that he gets
01:14:51a check for 30,000.
01:14:58Gentlemen,
01:15:00the meeting's called
01:15:00to order.
01:15:08Gentlemen,
01:15:08this meeting is called
01:15:09to discuss the refrigerator trucks.
01:15:12This is a model
01:15:13of one of them.
01:15:15These trucks
01:15:16are divided
01:15:16into compartments
01:15:17and each compartment...
01:15:18each compartment can have
01:15:29its own degree of temperature
01:15:31so that each staple
01:15:35can have the degree
01:15:38of temperature
01:15:39best suited to it.
01:15:42We can transport
01:15:43in one truck.
01:15:45eggs,
01:15:52milk,
01:15:55butter,
01:15:58fruit,
01:16:01flowers
01:16:03and beautiful babies.
01:16:08Transport babies
01:16:09in a refrigerator truck?
01:16:11What a perfectly
01:16:12stupid suggestion, Marsh.
01:16:14babies in a refrigerator truck.
01:16:16That's what you just said.
01:16:21Excuse me, gentlemen.
01:16:22I'll be right back.
01:16:44This is the release
01:16:46on the Holmes matter.
01:16:47File it and charge it
01:16:48to my account.
01:16:53$30,000?
01:16:54Yes.
01:16:57Gentlemen,
01:16:58I don't think
01:16:59there's a truck company
01:17:00or a railroad
01:17:00equipped to carry
01:17:01various products
01:17:02in one car.
01:17:04Our research department
01:17:05experimented for three years
01:17:06before we built
01:17:07these trucks.
01:17:10They're foolproof.
01:17:11in all the time
01:17:14we've been using them
01:17:14not one ounce
01:17:15of produce
01:17:16has gone bad.
01:17:21No competitor
01:17:22in the field
01:17:22can meet that record.
01:17:25We were first
01:17:26in the field
01:17:27and yet I got nowhere.
01:17:33I got
01:17:33absolutely nowhere.
01:17:36Mosh,
01:17:42will you stop
01:17:42interrupting me?
01:17:43Why,
01:17:44who said anything?
01:17:45I didn't even hear you.
01:17:46My mind was
01:17:46a thousand miles away.
01:17:49Why?
01:17:49Are we boring you?
01:17:51Would you prefer
01:17:52floor shows
01:17:52with these meetings?
01:17:54What am I getting into?
01:17:57I didn't speak a word.
01:17:59I didn't even think
01:17:59one and yet you jump on me.
01:18:00What's the matter
01:18:01with you, MJ?
01:18:02What?
01:18:02The meeting's agenda.
01:18:13Dr. Cassell,
01:18:15I hear,
01:18:16I hear music
01:18:17and sounds
01:18:18and I see things.
01:18:22How old are you, MJ?
01:18:24Oh, I'm old enough.
01:18:27Ever been in love?
01:18:30No.
01:18:30Ever been out
01:18:32with men?
01:18:33Of course I have.
01:18:34I work with them,
01:18:35don't I?
01:18:35Maybe that's your trouble.
01:18:37Oh, poo.
01:18:38Oh, better women
01:18:39than you have tried
01:18:40to poo-poo it.
01:18:42I ought to create
01:18:42a love-lorn department
01:18:43for you.
01:18:44Look here, Margaret.
01:18:46I'm an old duffer
01:18:47and don't know much,
01:18:48but I was there
01:18:49when you were born.
01:18:51I know you
01:18:52better than
01:18:52any man alive.
01:18:54You're a young,
01:18:55healthy woman
01:18:55and ready for love
01:18:57and the first
01:18:58presentable man
01:18:59that comes along.
01:18:59I know lots
01:19:00of presentable men.
01:19:01Oh, no, no.
01:19:02He will have
01:19:03to dominate you.
01:19:05Oh, now you're
01:19:05becoming more
01:19:06than Dr. Cassel.
01:19:07Of course I'm not.
01:19:09Your symptoms
01:19:09are classic.
01:19:11Hearing music,
01:19:12sounds,
01:19:12seeing things.
01:19:13Why,
01:19:14a high school student
01:19:15in elementary biology
01:19:16could diagnose
01:19:17your case.
01:19:19Oh, that's nonsense.
01:19:21And I'll prove it to you.
01:19:23Good evening,
01:19:31Good evening,
01:19:31Good evening,
01:19:31Miss Margaret.
01:19:32The board of directories
01:19:33is waiting in the library.
01:19:36Thank you,
01:19:36Nolan.
01:19:39Margaret,
01:19:40may I speak to you?
01:19:41Yes, Mother.
01:19:42Marshal,
01:19:42will you call
01:19:42the meeting to order?
01:19:43Yes.
01:19:44That nice, rich young man
01:19:45from out west
01:19:46you're merging with.
01:19:47He's not nice,
01:19:48he's not rich,
01:19:48and there's no merger.
01:19:50There's nothing
01:19:50but a stupid situation
01:19:51that Vivian got us into,
01:19:53which incidentally
01:19:54cost us $30,000
01:19:55in blackmail.
01:19:58$30,000?
01:20:04Mother dear,
01:20:04please,
01:20:05we're busy.
01:20:05Good night.
01:20:06I will not cover
01:20:07a losing proposition
01:20:08with other profits.
01:20:09I don't believe...
01:20:11Mother dear,
01:20:11this is a board meeting.
01:20:13I know, dear.
01:20:13Yes, we're talking business.
01:20:14Of course.
01:20:15Then I'm afraid
01:20:15I'll have to ask you
01:20:16to leave.
01:20:17You can't.
01:20:19Mother,
01:20:19what's the matter
01:20:20with you?
01:20:20I'm a stockholder,
01:20:22a big stockholder.
01:20:23Oh,
01:20:23I know you're a trustee
01:20:24for the estate, Margaret,
01:20:25and I can't sell
01:20:26any of the stock,
01:20:27but I can vote it.
01:20:28I can sit in here
01:20:29and find out
01:20:29just how my business
01:20:30is being run.
01:20:33Well,
01:20:34I've been able
01:20:35to run the business
01:20:35to everybody's satisfaction
01:20:37up till now.
01:20:38I don't know
01:20:39how capable you are,
01:20:40Margaret.
01:20:40After all,
01:20:41a woman who loves a man
01:20:42and can't chat...
01:20:43Mother!
01:20:44Now,
01:20:44about that Drewville line.
01:20:45In order to keep
01:20:46things straight,
01:20:47I think...
01:20:47And question more,
01:20:47he's not a blackmailer.
01:20:49I happen to know.
01:20:49Mother,
01:20:50I can't prevent you
01:20:51as a stockholder
01:20:51from being here,
01:20:52but I can certainly
01:20:53insist that you confine
01:20:54yourself to the business
01:20:55of the day.
01:20:56Margaret,
01:20:56you can't hide behind
01:20:57the Drew trust.
01:20:58this franchise will cost...
01:20:59I know I'm silly
01:21:00and stupid...
01:21:01100,000 dollars.
01:21:01But I know
01:21:02when a woman's heart
01:21:03is broken,
01:21:03this Michael...
01:21:04I will not have his name
01:21:05mentioned in this house.
01:21:06It's being mentioned
01:21:07every time your heart beats.
01:21:08Can't you hear it,
01:21:09Margaret?
01:21:10It's saying,
01:21:11Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike.
01:21:13Isn't it?
01:21:14I've waited a long time
01:21:15for you to become a woman.
01:21:16I knew when you did
01:21:17you'd be terribly hurt,
01:21:18but I'm glad,
01:21:19glad it's over a man
01:21:20like Michael Holmes.
01:21:21I remember when
01:21:22you said to Vivian,
01:21:23marriage is just like
01:21:24any other step,
01:21:24not for better or worse,
01:21:26but for better and better.
01:21:27Now you're in love
01:21:28with a pauper and a rogue
01:21:29and you can't get him,
01:21:30not for better or worse.
01:21:32And what's more,
01:21:33the money went to Stephen.
01:21:37What?
01:21:38To open his mill,
01:21:40providing Stephen
01:21:41would employ the men
01:21:41you discharged,
01:21:43Michael's friends.
01:21:44You see,
01:21:44your sister's husband
01:21:45hasn't a dime.
01:21:48How do you know all this?
01:21:49I was the go-between.
01:21:52But didn't he know
01:21:53that I had reinstated the men?
01:21:54Didn't he know
01:21:55they were discharged
01:21:55against my wishes?
01:21:56Didn't he know
01:21:57I was giving Johnny a raise?
01:21:58Didn't he?
01:21:58Go ask him, dear.
01:22:02Mother,
01:22:03what if he won't answer?
01:22:05You're a woman now
01:22:06and a woman gets an answer
01:22:07if she sets her mind to it.
01:22:11Oh,
01:22:12you said you were
01:22:14silly and stupid.
01:22:17You're as wise as the age.
01:22:19I'm the dope.
01:22:23I always agree
01:22:24with the president
01:22:25of the firm.
01:22:29Please wait for me.
01:22:35There'll be panties
01:22:36from heaven
01:22:37for you
01:22:38and me.
01:22:42Johnny,
01:22:42I must see Michael.
01:22:44Oh, look who's here.
01:22:45Hey, boys,
01:22:46look who's here.
01:22:47Well,
01:22:48so in, fellas,
01:22:49make it pretty curtsy.
01:22:50I must see Michael.
01:22:51So nice of you
01:22:52to come to our little party.
01:22:53We're celebrating new jobs.
01:22:55Rock, rock, rock.
01:22:56Steve Fangale.
01:22:57Steve Fangale.
01:22:58Please get out of my way.
01:23:00Why get out of your way?
01:23:01Walk right over us.
01:23:02You've been doing it for years,
01:23:03but no more.
01:23:06We got new jobs.
01:23:07We can hold our heads up.
01:23:09Hold your head up, love.
01:23:10I know I'm on the other
01:23:12side of the family.
01:23:14But is love an emotion
01:23:15that's reserved only
01:23:16for the proletariat?
01:23:18Look, I love Mike Holmes.
01:23:20And all your ideas
01:23:21on class distinction
01:23:22aren't going to keep me.
01:23:23Now get out of my way.
01:23:33I thought you'd come here.
01:23:36Marsh, clear the way for me.
01:23:37It's going to take a little time.
01:23:52Are you a man or aren't you?
01:23:54Well, my birth certificate
01:23:55says male.
01:23:56I hope I won't have reason
01:23:57to regret it.
01:24:04Perhaps you'd better
01:24:05try calling him.
01:24:07Mike.
01:24:10Mike Holmes.
01:24:14You don't answer.
01:24:18You're putting me
01:24:19in a very undignified position.
01:24:25Prepare to defend yourself.
01:24:34Say, what's going on here?
01:24:36Susie, I must see Mike.
01:24:37I must tell him that
01:24:38it was all a mix-up
01:24:39at the office
01:24:39and that I did not
01:24:40discharge these men.
01:24:41Michael isn't here.
01:24:42That's what I've been
01:24:43trying to tell her.
