00:00:00THE END
00:01:00You've got to get out there. They won't stop for you. You've got to stand the ground.
00:01:18All right, all right. You told me that before. Thank you very much.
00:01:30Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! You see, I told you, didn't I?
00:01:34Quiet, crow bait.
00:01:35I don't know why you're so scared to make him stop for you.
00:01:41That's the only way you're going to get a lift and it's nigh on to 16 miles into town, if that's where you're going.
00:01:46You've got to stand your ground.
00:01:47You told me that, now beat it. Will you go back to your chicken?
00:01:50They don't need me. You're the most unsociable young fellow I ever see.
00:01:54Reckon I wouldn't waste my time with you, except I've got a son of my own.
00:01:57He's in the army now, and I miss him.
00:01:59And milk and time, I miss him a lot.
00:02:01But there's something familiar about you. Seems like I've seen you somewhere before, but I can't seem to prove you...
00:02:06You never saw me before in all your life.
00:02:08It's just that trace of the human race that makes us all look familiar to each other.
00:02:12Now go back to the barn.
00:02:14Ain't so sure about that.
00:02:15When I first seen you out here in the road, I said to myself,
00:02:18if that young fellow had on a uniform, I'd swear that...
00:02:21Here comes one. Watch me, and I'll make him stop.
00:02:24You've got to stand your ground.
00:02:26You've got to stand your ground.
00:02:30That's how you ran, Minnie.
00:02:32That goes double.
00:02:34Wrong signals or not enough ground.
00:02:37Say, me once rides you.
00:02:38Think I'm going to stand out there and get run down so you can ride?
00:02:41Well, I knew a fellow did a fool's thing like that once.
00:02:43Yeah, Al.
00:02:44Yeah.
00:02:45Yeah?
00:02:45Well, why don't you try it yourself once?
00:02:47Can't do no harm.
00:02:49Well, maybe you've got something there.
00:02:50Walking 16 miles can.
00:03:10You moron!
00:03:12What do you use for IQ?
00:03:13We might both have been killed.
00:03:14I think I'm all right.
00:03:17No bones broken?
00:03:19Don't worry, miss.
00:03:20He looks pretty lively to me, too.
00:03:21Why don't you move over and let the crow sit there?
00:03:23They got plenty of room.
00:03:25What were you doing out here in the road anyway?
00:03:28All right.
00:03:28I'm sorry.
00:03:29I should think you would be.
00:03:31Jumping in front of cars like a maniac.
00:03:33Only an imbecile would do a thing like that.
00:03:36That does it.
00:03:37That really does it.
00:03:38Oh, no, you don't.
00:03:39You'll find everything in the back to change that tire.
00:03:43Aren't you going to help me fix it?
00:03:44I don't speak English.
00:03:45I only operate from signals.
00:03:47Surely you don't expect me to change it.
00:03:49Why not?
00:03:50Your car, your tire, your gas, and you ride.
00:03:54Well, of all the nerve.
00:03:55Move over, brother.
00:03:57It ain't right, boy.
00:03:58It ain't right.
00:03:59You ought to help her.
00:03:59She's not in my department, Farmer.
00:04:01I've met these overall jobs before.
00:04:03She takes over and leaves you flat.
00:04:06If you're going to be like this, well, maybe I'll have to help her.
00:04:08Stay perched.
00:04:09I guess there just isn't a gentleman left in the world.
00:04:12Fortunately, I don't need any help.
00:04:15Does she mean us?
00:04:16Not me.
00:04:17I'm essential.
00:04:18I'm essential.
00:04:23Those bumper jacks are dynamite.
00:04:29They'll never stay.
00:04:52See?
00:04:52She'll never get the hang of it.
00:05:12See what you made me do?
00:05:14My best pair.
00:05:15It's all your fault.
00:05:16It's your little filly, ain't she?
00:05:18Not bad.
00:05:22You horrid thing.
00:05:51I hate you.
00:05:52You've cost me a pair of nylon.
00:05:53You can't buy them anymore.
00:05:55That's right.
00:05:55You can't.
00:05:56But stop crying.
00:05:57Who's crying?
00:05:58Come on.
00:06:07Sit there and relax.
00:06:09Still burned, huh?
00:06:10Plenty.
00:06:11Count in.
00:06:12It helps.
00:06:13Now I fix the tire and you ride me into town.
00:06:15Right?
00:06:16Right.
00:06:17Can I help you?
00:06:22Yes.
00:06:23Go back and sit on the fence.
00:06:24But I'm very handy around automobiles and things.
00:06:26Yes, sir.
00:06:26I might help.
00:06:27I know.
00:06:27I know.
00:06:27I don't doubt it.
00:06:29You don't want to help, huh?
00:06:30Nope.
00:06:30Nope.
00:06:32See?
00:06:32I wanted to help him and he wouldn't let me.
00:06:34He's a mental case.
00:06:36Sure wasn't a very nice thing he did to you, miss.
00:06:38At least I don't think it was.
00:06:39Whose side are you on?
00:06:41Wasn't it your idea that I risked my neck on the road?
00:06:43Sure.
00:06:44That's the only way you get a hitch to town.
00:06:46It's nicer out here in the country amongst the birds and the bees and chickens and such.
00:06:50What do you want to go back to town for anyways?
00:06:53For a long time, all I've dreamed about is going back home.
00:06:56And back home to town.
00:06:58That's why.
00:06:59You see?
00:07:19I don't trust you.
00:07:21I wouldn't have a disposition like yours for nothing.
00:07:23Cause a lady all this trouble and then you don't trust her.
00:07:26Well, nice knowing you folks.
00:07:28Just ignore them, miss.
00:07:37Nice lines for this job.
00:07:39I thought I was lucky to find it.
00:07:41Wish it was mine.
00:07:42Oh, this car doesn't belong to me.
00:07:44I took it.
00:07:45I'm a kleptomaniac with good taste.
00:07:47Ah, don't give me that.
00:07:49You've got little Miss Idlerich stamped all over you.
00:07:51You're wrong.
00:07:52I work for a living.
00:07:54Ask what?
00:07:55Well, I'm sort of a chauffeur.
00:07:58In that uniform?
00:08:00My employers are very lenient.
00:08:02And speaking of uniforms, how do you manage to stay out of one?
00:08:06Anything like that strictly between me and my uncle.
00:08:09You should say my uncle and me.
00:08:10It doesn't sound so selfish.
00:08:12He comes first.
00:08:13I'll say first, last, and always.
00:08:16Always.
00:08:16Well, you're, uh, out of gas.
00:08:23Oh, well, uh, didn't we pass the filling station about a half a mile back?
00:08:27Ah, so we did.
00:08:30Why, you...
00:08:31I know, you hate me.
00:08:33Very well.
00:08:34We'll both sit right here and dream together.
00:08:36I don't mind.
00:08:37No wonder the armed forces don't want you afraid of a little old hike like that.
00:08:41All right, Miss Smartset.
00:08:43What did you say your name is?
00:08:44I didn't.
00:08:45That's right.
00:08:46You didn't.
00:08:46I don't mind.
00:09:16All set?
00:09:40Right.
00:09:47It's really lovely out here in the country, isn't it?
00:09:49So fresh and peaceful.
00:09:51I like it.
00:09:52Hey, what happened to you?
00:09:53Did you take a vitamin?
00:09:55The person doesn't know who she's talking to these days.
00:09:57Doesn't she?
00:09:59I mean, I'm afraid I said some cruel things to you.
00:10:02I'm sure when a fellow isn't in the armed forces these days, there must be a good reason for it.
00:10:06There should be.
00:10:08And yet thoughtless people like me do say such cruel things and make such terrible accusations.
00:10:13Any young fellow must hate being out of it.
00:10:15That all depends on the man, doesn't it?
00:10:17Take a deserter, for instance.
00:10:19He doesn't mind.
00:10:20Until his conscience gets to work on him and he's caught and made to realize what a fool's bid he made for freedom.
00:10:26That must be horrible.
00:10:28It's not the best deal.
00:10:31You wouldn't be...
00:10:32What?
00:10:33A deserter.
00:10:35I told you anything like that strictly between my uncle and me.
00:10:39If it isn't too personal, who is your uncle?
00:10:41The most influential man in the country.
00:10:44Really?
00:10:45Who is he?
00:10:46Uncle Sam.
00:10:47Did you ever hear of him?
00:10:49I'll give you ten on that one.
00:10:51Hey, what is your name?
00:10:53Come on now, they must call you something.
00:10:55They do.
00:10:56They call me Willie.
00:10:57Are you kidding?
00:10:59No, that's my name.
00:11:00What about yours?
00:11:02Marion.
00:11:03And that's on the level.
00:11:04Really?
00:11:06Hey, you know what's wrong with us, Willie?
00:11:08We ought to change names.
00:11:11I think those cops mean us.
00:11:23Could be.
00:11:28Say, you weren't trying to pick them up.
00:11:30Certainly not.
00:11:31That's probably the first honest thing you've said.
00:11:41Come out of there with your hands up.
00:11:50All right, get up.
00:11:54Officer, what's this all about?
00:11:56Lady, you're driving a stolen car.
00:11:58Me?
00:11:58Yes, you.
00:11:59You just picked me up, remember?
00:12:01Let's see your driver's license.
00:12:02Officer, it must be my other bag.
00:12:04I've only got my lipstick in this one.
00:12:06Well, what's her name or don't you know that?
00:12:08You probably wouldn't believe me.
00:12:10Just call her Willie.
00:12:11That's what she told me.
00:12:12You drive her.
00:12:12I'll take him.
00:12:13Come on.
00:12:13Wait a minute, officer.
00:12:14You don't want me.
00:12:14I'm just a pickup.
00:12:15Who's this guy?
00:12:16Don't let him get away.
00:12:17There's probably a reward offered for him.
00:12:19Very funny.
00:12:20Now, if I'm not too inquisitive, where did you get this car?
00:12:23Why, it's Alvin.
00:12:23And who's Alvin?
00:12:25Alvin's my...
00:12:26Well, Alvin's just one of the most promising young men in this country that night.
00:12:29Doc, get in.
00:12:30Come on, come on.
00:12:31Get in.
00:12:33Slide over.
00:12:33I'll drive.
00:12:34What'd they bring in, Ryan?
00:12:37Same old stuff.
00:12:38A dame and a guy.
00:12:40Was he annoying her?
00:12:41She picked him up in a stolen car.
00:12:43She won't give her name.
00:12:44There's a name for that, ain't there?
00:12:45Ten years.
00:12:46Is there a picture in it?
00:12:47No.
00:12:48Her nylons are ripped.
00:12:50I think I'll take a look.
00:12:51Sit down.
00:12:53You owe me six bits.
00:12:54And you're not leaving.
00:12:59Matron.
00:13:00Will I be detained here long?
00:13:01That depends.
00:13:02Sometimes we keep them for life.
00:13:04But I'm not a common criminal.
00:13:05None of them are.
00:13:06That's what makes the work so interesting.
00:13:07Every case is different.
00:13:09Are they trying to phone long distance for me?
00:13:11Young lady, they're doing a lot of telephoning for you.
00:13:13They're grilling the young man and searching the car now.
00:13:15Oh, dear.
00:13:16Oh, you poor kid.
00:13:18Did some guy get you in here, too?
00:13:19I suppose, in a way, he is responsible.
00:13:21He made me stop for him.
00:13:23Ain't it terrible the way some men do these things?
00:13:25If I hadn't stopped for Herman, I wouldn't be here either.
00:13:27Did you pick him up?
00:13:28Yeah, ten years ago.
00:13:30And married him.
00:13:31Look what it got me.
00:13:34You haven't married yours yet, have you?
00:13:36Why, I hardly know him.
00:13:37Well, believe me, you never will know him.
00:13:39I never thought Herman would strike me, but he did.
00:13:41I screamed and offended myself, and neighbors came in, and then they saw that pipe on the floor that he hit me when they called the police.
00:13:46How dreadful.
00:13:47Yeah, but he was always so gentle, until he suddenly gets the idea and he starts saying,
00:13:51It's a free country, ain't it?
00:13:53It's a free country.
00:13:55Well, it is.
00:13:56Yeah.
00:13:56Well, I remember what my father went through, one of the finest men that ever lived.
00:14:00I remember what he went through during Prohibition, and I said to Herman,
00:14:04Listen, no matter how hard the stuff is to get, it ain't worth it just to feel dizzy.
00:14:09Don't try and brew it.
00:14:10At least now you can get it, you've got the government behind you.
00:14:13You mean he makes it himself?
00:14:14Well, he tried to make some in the furnace, and we got into an argument, and he hits me.
00:14:20Have one?
00:14:21I don't smoke.
00:14:22What are you in here for?
00:14:25Wife beating.
00:14:26Your own?
00:14:28Yep.
00:14:29What is she, a midget?
00:14:31I didn't hit her.
00:14:32The darn thing exploded, and the pipe flew off, and I was trying to pick her up when the neighbors came in.
00:14:36What thing?
00:14:37Thing, what thing?
00:14:39It's a free country, ain't it?
00:14:40Yeah.
00:14:40Well?
00:14:41You talk like you're in love, or...
00:14:43Yes, if you think so, Mr. Bailey.
00:14:46The young lady refuses to give her name.
00:14:48Oh, you're glad.
00:14:50Oh, it's of no importance, huh?
00:14:53Well, very well.
00:14:54We'll hold the car and release her.
00:14:56Tell Mr. Bailey I want to speak to him.
00:14:59The young lady wishes to speak to you, Mr. Bailey.
00:15:03Oh, he says he has nothing to say to you.
00:15:05You're to return home on the train.
00:15:06He'll see you then.
00:15:07Oh, he will.
00:15:08How nice.
00:15:09Now, Mr. Bailey, what are we going to do with the young man that's with her?
00:15:15Oh, yes, yes.
00:15:16There's a young man who's with her.
00:15:20He'll talk to you now, miss.
00:15:21Tell Mr. Bailey I have nothing to say to him.
00:15:23I'm not coming back.
00:15:25Never again is he going to push me around.
00:15:27Did you hear that, Mr. Bailey?
00:15:31You better let me talk to the sergeant.
00:15:34Oh, sergeant.
00:15:35We're holding the car and releasing the young lady.
00:15:38Thanks for your cooperation.
00:15:40Goodbye.
00:15:42Well, you're free to go, miss.
00:15:44Thank you very much.
00:15:45Thank you very much.
00:15:47Don't mention it.
00:15:48Don't you mention it.
00:15:49Goodbye.
00:15:50Goodbye.
00:15:52Oh, sergeant.
00:15:53Yes?
00:15:53What about the young man who's with me?
00:15:55Oh, yes.
00:15:55Thank you for reminding me, you know, I might have forgotten.
00:15:58After all, I see no reason why we should hold him.
00:16:01There's no occasion for the smile, sergeant.
00:16:03No?
00:16:04No.
00:16:06Oh.
00:16:08Ryan, release the young man.
00:16:10Yes, sergeant.
00:16:13I bet you're terribly angry with me.
00:16:15Nope.
00:16:16All my women do this to me.
00:16:17You're conceited.
00:16:18Have it your way, Willie.
00:16:19Where do we go from here?
00:16:20Now you're trying to pick me up.
00:16:21Just giving you an opportunity to turn this into a wonderful day.
00:16:24I've got to show you our town.
00:16:26It's a crackerjack.
00:16:27Is it?
00:16:27Haven't you seen the new library?
00:16:29Never noticed.
00:16:30Don't tell me you haven't seen the new fire engine.
00:16:32Why, you just press a button and the ladders go up in all directions.
00:16:34Sounds small.
00:16:36There's also a little park.
00:16:37It's a gym.
00:16:38Right on the river.
00:16:39You can take me someplace.
00:16:41Anywhere if you guarantee no cops.
00:16:42I promise, no cops.
00:16:45Hey, that's for us.
00:16:45Taxi!
00:16:46Hey!
00:16:46Hey!
00:16:46Hey!
00:16:54Where to?
00:16:59Do you know where the Hammond place is?
00:17:01Sure do, miss.
00:17:02Will you take us there, please?
00:17:03Yes, ma'am.
00:17:05Uh, pardon me, but I think I got on the wrong bus.
00:17:08Do you know the Hammonds?
00:17:09Yes, I'm the secretary for the family.
00:17:11Hmm, big league stuff.
00:17:13Well, you can just drop me off here as well as at the gate.
00:17:15Relax, I can smuggle you in.
00:17:16Besides, the family's in New York.
00:17:18Oh, gotta be like this, huh?
00:17:19No, but I just thought that maybe you might...
00:17:21I sure would.
00:17:21Whatever you're trying to say.
00:17:23You know, I bet you're pretty regular.
00:17:25I hope you won't be disappointed in me, Marion.
00:17:28Willie.
00:17:29Yes, Marion?
00:17:30Who's Alvin?
00:17:31Oh, Alvin.
00:17:32I was engaged to him.
00:17:33Is he a big guy?
00:17:34He's powerfully big.
00:17:36Why'd you take his heart?
00:17:37I felt I'd just have to get away.
00:17:39Sort of to break the spell?
00:17:40Well, Alvin's so impatient and marriage is so serious.
00:17:43Uh-huh.
00:17:44A girl just has to have time to make up her mind.
00:17:46Uh-huh.
00:17:46How long were you engaged?
00:17:48Well, we've known each other all our lives.
00:17:50We're supposed to get married day after tomorrow.
00:17:52But it's a long story.
00:17:53Uh-huh.
00:17:54How do you keep saying, uh-huh?
00:17:55Alvin sounds a little on the dull side.
00:17:58Oh, no.
00:17:58He's really a very fine fellow.
00:18:00Exceptional.
00:18:02Maybe just not for me.
00:18:03Uh-huh.
00:18:04You know, Willie, you keep losing the range.
00:18:07Once you got it, you got to stick for your guns.
00:18:09Uh-huh.
00:18:10Uh-huh.
00:18:17Never mind.
00:18:24I have it.
00:18:26Keep the change.
00:18:28You can go out through the lower gate.
00:18:29Yes, ma'am.
00:18:29Yes, sir.
00:18:35When Hard Rock Hammond built this place, he certainly didn't spare the dollars.
00:18:38He wanted it to be the showplace of the town.
00:18:40And it was.
00:18:41Why, do you know that people used to come for miles around to see the place?
00:18:45Anybody can tell that this is your hometown.
00:18:47Well, it is in a way.
00:18:55Nobody home, huh?
00:18:56The caretaker must be around someplace.
00:18:58The gates were open.
00:18:59And then there's always Wiggins.
00:19:00Well, if you're the secretary, haven't you got a key?
00:19:03Of course.
00:19:05Where did I put that key?
00:19:07Now, don't tell me you've lost it.
00:19:09I know what we could do.
00:19:11Don't say it.
00:19:11I know what you're going to tell me.
00:19:12What?
00:19:13Maybe we could find a window and climb in.
00:19:15Very good.
00:19:15How did you get?
00:19:16Hunches.
00:19:17I get them.
00:19:18Are you sure you work here?
00:19:19Of course I do.
00:19:21My, but you're a suspicious person.
00:19:23Well, all right, all right.
00:19:24We'll find a nice, low window and climb in.
00:19:26You ought to know where there's one.
00:19:28I do.
00:19:28I have one right around here.
00:19:34Here it is.
00:19:35It should be open.
00:19:36The lock's broken and never been fixed.
00:19:40I thought you said the lock was broken.
00:19:41Oh, you're right.
00:19:43Stock.
00:19:48Give me the bags.
00:19:58Come on, you're next.
00:19:59Oh, no, that's not the way.
00:20:00You go through and open the front door and I woke in.
00:20:03Do you always have an accomplice?
00:20:05It's much easier with one.
00:20:07Hurry up and open the door.
00:20:08The mansion is ours, Mike.
00:20:28You'll be happier on a rock pile with a pick.
00:20:34Come on.
00:20:35Well, what's the charge?
00:20:36Breaking and entering.
00:20:37We saw you climb through that window.
00:20:38Now, come on.
00:20:38Why all of her friends get in that way?
00:20:40Ask the young lady.
00:20:41Hey, where is she?
00:20:42Oh, there she is.
00:20:45She works here.
00:20:45Willie, please explain to the gentleman that you belong here.
00:20:48I don't know why you have to drag me into this.
00:20:50Why don't you tell him just to go away?
00:20:51I think you like the notoriety.
00:20:54She's a personal secretary to the Hammonds.
00:20:55She lost her key.
00:20:57I don't believe it.
00:20:58Sounds phony to me.
00:21:00It is.
00:21:00I'm not.
00:21:01Willie, what are you saying?
00:21:02You want the truth, don't you?
00:21:04And you promised there wouldn't be any more cops.
00:21:06Remember?
00:21:07I wish I had a lead pipe.
00:21:08I'd use it.
00:21:09You would.
00:21:10You mean.
00:21:10I know.
00:21:11You hate me.
00:21:12Well, if you work here, you can prove it.
00:21:14And if you don't, we've got a place for you two.
00:21:17Mr. Clancy.
00:21:19Ladies first.
00:21:21I hate you.
00:21:22Yeah.
00:21:23And then we gentlemen.
00:21:30What'd they bring in this time, Ryan?
00:21:31Same stuff.
00:21:32You know the guy and a dame?
00:21:34No, the same ones.
00:21:35Guess they're hitting the bottom of the barrel.
00:21:37You mean the same guy's back twice on the same day with the same dame?
00:21:39That's what I said.
00:21:40First they're in for car theft.
00:21:41Now they're back booked for trespassing, breaking and entering.
00:21:44Maybe burglary.
00:21:45Sounds like they hit the jackpot.
00:21:47Well, such an earnest couple deserves the privilege of the free press.
00:21:49How I tried and tried until they locked me up.
00:21:52Same.
00:21:52You think my readers would be interested?
00:21:54Sure.
00:21:55Those who can't spell out the words, flash it to them with a picture.
00:21:58Brother, you said so.
00:21:59This I've got to see.
00:22:00Come on.
00:22:04Young fellow.
00:22:04Sorry to once see you.
00:22:06Oh, yes, sir.
00:22:06Not you.
00:22:08I said the young fellow.
00:22:09Here we go again.
00:22:10Just keep our little nest cozy, pal.
00:22:12I shall return.
00:22:13I certainly will.
00:22:14Hurry back.
00:22:17All right, call.
00:22:18Head.
00:22:18That's mine.
00:22:19No, it isn't.
00:22:20It's mine.
00:22:20I tell you.
00:22:21Get away.
00:22:21Get away.
00:22:21Get away.
00:22:22Get away.
00:22:23Oh, where's that nice sergeant who was here this afternoon?
00:22:26Oh, the nice sergeant?
00:22:29Well, he got tired looking at the same faces, so he retired.
00:22:32But if you don't like my face, it'll be just too bad for you.
00:22:38Order.
00:22:40Sergeant, do you mean to tell me the same people come back all the time?
00:22:42Yes, annoying, ain't it?
00:22:44But sitting here, we run into so many who have criminal tendencies.
00:22:48But back they come.
00:22:49And out they go.
00:22:50Oh, is that so?
00:22:51I think I know where to meet you.
00:22:53Now, you refused to give your name on the first charge and got away with it.
00:22:57That's right.
00:22:57Well, we'll start from there.
00:22:59Oh, sergeant, you don't seem to understand.
00:23:01I don't want my name in the record.
00:23:02Oh, and you don't seem to understand that this isn't an invitational affair.
00:23:08I'll have respect.
00:23:09I don't want the note arrived.
00:23:11Keep after her, sergeant.
00:23:11She told me her name was Willie, but I don't believe her.
00:23:14You're the young man who broke into the Hammond house.
00:23:16He is.
00:23:17And this young lady was your accomplice.
00:23:19She was the warped brain behind the job, sergeant.
00:23:21Do tell.
00:23:22Before I fell in with her, I was a clean-cut, decent young chap.
00:23:25You look it.
00:23:26Such conceit.
00:23:27Now, young lady, as long as you haven't given your name,
00:23:30I'm afraid we'll just have to start giving you a number.
00:23:35Respect for the sergeant.
00:23:37Sergeant, just between the two of us, may I whisper something to you?
00:23:40Whisper something?
00:23:40Of course.
00:23:41Come around.
00:23:42Senior, I think I interviewed her two years ago.
00:23:44I mean, too.
00:23:46Boys, boys, get away.
00:23:47Can't the lady speak to the gentleman in conference?
00:23:50Get away, get away.
00:23:51Where's your manners?
00:23:53And you two.
00:23:54Go on, go on.
00:23:55Get away, get away.
00:23:56Now.
00:23:59Oh, I do understand, miss.
00:24:02I thought you would.
00:24:02And you think that at a time like this, that any differences that you've had in your private
00:24:06lives should be kept strictly from the public.
00:24:08That's right.
00:24:09Well, a misapprehension like this could influence them.
00:24:12I know those voters.
00:24:14The case is dismissed.
00:24:15Thank you, Sergeant.
00:24:16I'll see that Mr. Bailey hears about this.
00:24:18Mr. Bailey?
00:24:19Oh, thank you, ma'am.
00:24:20I know her.
00:24:21I got it.
00:24:24It's Wilmingham.
00:24:25Sure.
00:24:25Don't you remember?
00:24:26I met you last year.
00:24:27You were down launching a boat.
00:24:28I thought you were supposed to marry Mr. Bailey.
00:24:30Sure, you're supposed to be in New York with him.
00:24:31What's the matter, a rift?
00:24:32Sergeant, you can't win.
00:24:33Indeed you can't.
00:24:34You're a good sport, Miss Hammond.
00:24:36What about a picture shaking hands with the sergeant?
00:24:37That's a good idea.
00:24:38How about whispering in his ear?
00:24:40That's a better one.
00:24:41Oh, all right.
00:24:41That's it.
00:24:42Oh, this will be perfect.
00:24:43Yeah.
00:24:46Oh, Miss Hammond.
00:24:48Now that the boys mention it, your face is familiar.
00:24:50Magazine covers, high society on the Sunday supplement, smearing your face with cold cream
00:24:54before and after for charity.
00:24:55I might as well admit it.
00:24:56I am Wilmingham, Pierce Hammond, but I thought if you...
00:24:58Sure, you might have been caught up with the wrong guy.
00:25:00I should have sent my pedigree to your press agent.
00:25:02Don't you dare talk that way to Miss Hammond.
00:25:04Oh, sorry, Captain.
00:25:06Captain.
00:25:08I hate you.
00:25:09Hold it.
00:25:10Hey, what's the name?
00:25:11Oh, wait, wait.
00:25:13Hey, bud, I've got a handwork name.
00:25:15What's this man's name?
00:25:15I've got another lecture on here.
00:25:17Miss Hammond, I know you split with Alvin Bailey III.
00:25:19I'd like to get a statement from you.
00:25:20He's a very ambitious fellow.
00:25:21He might get in your hair.
00:25:22No statement, please.
00:25:24Marion, surely you don't think I meant to embarrass you.
00:25:26I thought if I told you who I am that you'd be...
00:25:28The build-up you've got doesn't blind me, sister.
00:25:29I'm not interested.
00:25:30All I want from you now is my suitcase.
00:25:32I left it over at your little cottage in the reception hall.
00:25:35Well, of course.
00:25:36Miss Hammond, my men will drive you home.
00:25:38Thank you, sir.
00:25:38You're welcome.
00:25:39Say, I didn't guess your name, bud.
00:25:40I know you didn't.
00:25:41It wouldn't mean any more to you than 10 million others.
00:25:43How about a picture, Miss Hammond?
00:25:43A picture?
00:25:44Of course.
00:25:44He's going to make a picture.
00:25:45Step out.
00:25:46Go on, shoot your picture.
00:25:47Okay.
00:25:48Was it a blind date?
00:25:49What's his name?
00:25:50No, he's one of the first ones I've had in a long time with my eyes open.
00:25:54Not bad, is he?
00:25:55Very good, I'd say.
00:25:56Come on.
00:25:57Come on.
00:25:57Don't keep the lady waiting.
00:25:59Here, here.
00:26:00No words with the sergeant.
00:26:01Get in before he loses his temper.
00:26:03Go on.
00:26:03Get in.
00:26:03Get in.
00:26:04Get in.
00:26:04Get in.
00:26:05Bye.
00:26:05Well, goodbye, Miss Hammond.
00:26:07Goodbye.
00:26:08Take care of her, boys.
00:26:09Pull out.
00:26:09Is there anything else we can do for you, Miss Hammond?
00:26:24I hope not, thank you.
00:26:25If there is, I'll call you.
00:26:26You can leave by the lower gate.
00:26:35How did I ever get so involved with you?
00:26:37You're getting out of my life, understand why I'm supposed to be getting...
00:26:39No, I'm a bother.
00:26:40You hate me.
00:26:41Marion, if you go away, I'll scream!
00:26:43Well, I was just going back to open the window.
00:26:46Please don't be angry with me.
00:26:48I just remember where I put the key.
00:26:50It's been right in its pocket all the time.
00:26:54Marion, don't leave me.
00:26:56Wait for me.
00:27:02Marion.
00:27:02Yes, Miss Hammond?
00:27:03I want you to know I saw the uniform in your suitcase.
00:27:06Uh, snooping?
00:27:07No, but when you went for the gas, it was open.
00:27:10And when I tried to close it, I saw the ribbons on your uniform.
00:27:13You closed it.
00:27:15Marion, don't go away.
00:27:16I want to talk to you.
00:27:19Go ahead.
00:27:20You should be ashamed of yourself.
00:27:22Why?
00:27:22For running away.
00:27:24What kind of a life can you hope for?
00:27:26Shame and escape.
00:27:27Maybe you can get by with it for a while.
00:27:29But in the end, you'll be made to realize what you've done.
00:27:31You said so yourself.
00:27:32I was doing all right until I met you.
00:27:34Oh, dear.
00:27:37No lights.
00:27:38Why don't you pay your bills?
00:27:39I can't understand it.
00:27:41We never discontinue the service.
00:27:42Have you got a match?
00:27:48You know, Marion, I'm worried.
00:27:50I could be put in prison for harboring you.
00:27:52You should get 20 years to life.
00:27:53But I'm getting out of here before you throw me to the police again.
00:27:56All right.
00:27:57Skip what might happen to me.
00:27:58But I don't want to see the worst happen to you.
00:28:01Let me drive you back to camp.
00:28:02Give yourself up before you're court-martialed and shot.
00:28:05You're a good kid, Willie.
00:28:06Of course I want to go back.
00:28:08That's why I burn so every time you sound it off.
00:28:10But I can't go back.
00:28:12Ever hear of a medical discharge?
00:28:13Are you serious?
00:28:15In like a lion and out like a lamb.
00:28:17That's me.
00:28:19Marion, don't go.
00:28:21You let me keep stabbing at you.
00:28:24I saw you limp when you went to get the gas,
00:28:25but I thought it was only a hitchhiker's blister.
00:28:28What a fool I am.
00:28:30I should have trusted you all the way.
00:28:33But you could still be in uniform, couldn't you?
00:28:35Yeah, for a while and for official occasions.
00:28:38I figured it's strictly a fighting outfit.
00:28:40Mine belongs among my souvenirs.
00:28:42It's chilly in here.
00:28:45Let's light the fire.
00:28:46I love an open fire.
00:28:48All right, Willie.
00:28:54It's good to be back in the old hometown, isn't it?
00:28:56That's all you dream about out there.
00:28:59Has it changed much?
00:29:00No, it's perfect.
00:29:01Just what I wanted it to be.
00:29:03Did you notice the little square in front of the old courthouse?
00:29:06I hoped it would be there.
00:29:08It's always been there.
00:29:09I've noticed that.
00:29:11Does your family know you're coming home?
00:29:13I bet they'll be awfully glad to see you.
00:29:15I haven't any family.
00:29:16I'm an orphan.
00:29:17But you've lived here all your life.
00:29:20In a way.
00:29:21That's a strange answer.
00:29:23Willie, I've never been in this town before in my life.
00:29:25What?
00:29:26I'm the prodigal come home.
00:29:28But I had no home to come back to.
00:29:30Oh, but it's all your country.
00:29:32It's your home.
00:29:33Yes, and it was good to fight for it.
00:29:35But a lot of what my home is, has been a dream.
00:29:38I want it to come true here in Plainfield.
00:29:40Why Plainfield?
00:29:42A fellow gave me this town.
00:29:44He grew up here.
00:29:45He told me all about it.
00:29:47He fished in the river.
00:29:48Knew love for the first time in the park.
00:29:51He took his oath on the steps of that old courthouse.
00:29:54And civvies with a band plant.
00:29:56He and the other guys were drafted with him.
00:29:58Marched to the station and took the train.
00:30:01But always he talked about my hometown.
00:30:05He liked the way the winter comes.
00:30:07And the way the spring breaks.
00:30:10And it's spring now.
00:30:11Over there, I learned that a guy has to do his own dying.
00:30:19And I said to this G.I.,
00:30:20Brother, if ever you're out of this, you're going to do your own living.
00:30:24And you're going to start it right there in Plainfield.
00:30:28Must have been an awfully good friend.
00:30:30Hmm, the best.
00:30:31We shared the same foxhole.
00:30:33I left him just three miles outside of a place you can't pronounce.
00:30:38I shouldn't have looked back, but I did.
00:30:39He looked up and yelled, keep going, Miriam.
00:30:44It's the shortest way home.
00:30:47It's your hometown now.
00:30:49I give it to you.
00:30:50Was it all so terrible?
00:30:54Yeah, for the others.
00:30:55But I'm the lucky one.
00:30:57I'm the one who came home.
00:30:58All right, I'll speak to him if you say I must.
00:31:02Yes, Alvin, I can hear you.
00:31:04But I'm not a common thief.
00:31:05I only borrowed it.
00:31:06Oh, dear.
00:31:09Oh, dear.
00:31:10Oh, dear.
00:31:11Can't you say anything besides, oh, dear?
00:31:13You're losing the range again.
00:31:16Alvin, I'm sorry if it was embarrassing for you.
00:31:18But you don't want to make a mistake either.
00:31:21Yes, I know it's too late with the wedding in two days, but...
00:31:23Are you going to let him do your living for you?
00:31:25Talk back to him.
00:31:28Alvin, don't you dare come down here.
00:31:31It won't do you a bit of good.
00:31:35Man?
00:31:37What man?
00:31:39I'm sure I don't know who you mean.
00:31:42Oh, him.
00:31:44Well, he's just the new chauffeur.
00:31:47Yes?
00:31:48Oh, yes, Mother.
00:31:50All right, Mother.
00:31:52Goodbye, dear.
00:31:54Alvin, the whole family are coming down in the morning.
00:31:57He's very angry.
00:31:58He says he's going to punch you in the nose.
00:31:59Thank you for putting me on my guard.
00:32:01But you can't stay here.
00:32:02Why, sure.
00:32:03You don't want to disappoint Alvin,
00:32:04and I wouldn't miss it for anything in the world.
00:32:06I'm the new chauffeur, remember?
00:32:07And I start right out by being fresh.
00:32:14Now he's got a reason to be sore.
00:32:16You're fired.
00:32:17Hmm, hmm.
00:32:18Not after that one.
00:32:19You're getting the range again.
00:32:20Now, don't let your family and Alvin push you around.
00:32:22Stick to your guns.
00:32:24Why, dear, dear.
00:32:26Well, it wasn't a new idea.
00:32:27Well, I wanted to be sure that spark was still there.
00:32:30Late family, what am I going to do, Marion?
00:32:32The Hammonds have always done the expected thing.
00:32:34Why, they're the backbone of proper society.
00:32:37Grandfather said that a girl just had to...
00:32:38Look, Willie, I don't care what the old boy said,
00:32:40but I'm sure he did his own living.
00:32:43Willie, I like the way your eyes sparkle.
00:32:45Oh, well.
00:33:04Hmm.
00:33:05Surely, Miss Wilhelmina, this can't be you.
00:33:09Of course it's I, Wiggins.
00:33:10Where have you been?
00:33:11Yeah, but this...
00:33:12This is not Mr. Alvin, your kissing.
00:33:14I wasn't kissing him.
00:33:15Wiggins, Miss Wilhelmina inquired.
00:33:17Where have you been?
00:33:17Young man, I resent that.
00:33:20That's right.
00:33:20Where have you been, and why no lights?
00:33:22Oh, well, you know this is lodge night.
00:33:25Miss Wilhelmina, you know I haven't missed a lodge meeting in over 25 years.
00:33:29That's why my brother, members of the lodge,
00:33:31made me the captain of the drill company,
00:33:34and also the grand welcomer for the Plainfield Plains U Committee.
00:33:38Uh, what did you get the medals for?
00:33:40Swimming?
00:33:40Yes, swimming.
00:33:42I hate water.
00:33:43Young man, let me inform you.
00:33:45I was presented with these medals for having the best drill company in our entire organization.
00:33:50The best drill in department, discipline, and marching.
00:33:54Which, of course, are things that you would know nothing, absolutely nothing about.
00:33:58Oh, Miss Wilhelmina,
00:34:00the Brother Lodge members this evening congratulated me on your coming marriage to, uh,
00:34:05Mr. Alvin.
00:34:06The snobs.
00:34:07You were a little premature.
00:34:09Why no light?
00:34:10Hmm, was it?
00:34:11Why no light?
00:34:12Oh, the light, light, light.
00:34:13Oh, I flew a fuse.
00:34:16I mean, I blew a fuse.
00:34:18I just put in a fresh plug.
00:34:20How long have you been eavesdropping?
00:34:22Eavesdropping?
00:34:23Oh, Miss Wilhelmina, you have cut me to the quick.
00:34:27Oh.
00:34:30Young man, let me tell you something.
00:34:32I have been a sort of a secretary and general manager for this entire state for many, many
00:34:37years.
00:34:39In fact, many years before this child was born.
00:34:42Oh.
00:34:44Wilhelmina?
00:34:45Miss Wilhelmina?
00:34:46Uh, does the family, uh, know this, uh, person?
00:34:50Right now, I am sort of a rumor.
00:34:52Wiggin, he's working here now.
00:34:53You know how difficult it's been to hire a chauffeur since Stanley was drafted.
00:34:56Oh, sister, yes, I understand the health problem.
00:34:59But that is no excuse for you kissing him.
00:35:03Miss Wilhelmina, I dislike very much doing this in your presence.
00:35:06Will you please step aside?
00:35:08Young man?
00:35:09I shall have to throw you out.
00:35:14Wiggin.
00:35:15Oh, thank you.
00:35:15Aren't you forgetting yourself?
00:35:17And if you want to tell Mother and Mr. Alvin what you saw, go right ahead and be an old
00:35:20tattletale.
00:35:21Who?
00:35:22I didn't tell him about that butcher boy, did I?
00:35:24What butcher boy?
00:35:25Well, he was a big hulking fellow.
00:35:27I was only eight years old at the time.
00:35:30Oh.
00:35:31Wiggin, go to bed.
00:35:33Mother and the family are coming down in the morning.
00:35:34The servants are arriving tonight.
00:35:36Now go to bed right now.
00:35:37Yes, Miss.
00:35:38Young man, your quarters are up over the garage.
00:35:42And always bear in mind, remember at all times, you are now in the service of the most
00:35:47sheltered young lady in America.
00:35:49We've already discussed that, Wiggin.
00:35:50I shall be back shortly to lock up this place.
00:35:54Good night.
00:35:54Good night.
00:36:01What a pushing around you take, Willie.
00:36:04You're even afraid of that character.
00:36:06Marion, you'll have to go.
00:36:07You can't stay here.
00:36:08Very well, Miss.
00:36:09What time would you like the car in the morning?
00:36:11Now, don't be difficult.
00:36:12If you should leave me before the folks arrive in the morning, you'll find me over the garage.
00:36:16Good night.
00:36:16Well, well, well, well.
00:36:41Hello, Wiggin.
00:36:46Uh, Camille, you take the trousseau right up to Miss Wilhelmina's room.
00:36:50We with them.
00:36:51Morton, get the luggage.
00:36:52Uh, Mr. Alvin and his trainer stopped at the police station to claim his car.
00:36:56Hmm.
00:36:56Uh, where is Miss Wilhelmina?
00:36:58In her room, Mrs. Hammond.
00:36:59Uh, tell her we're here, please.
00:37:00Yes.
00:37:00Don't bother.
00:37:02Sis is picking up this broadcast right now.
00:37:05Young lady, next year you're going to be sent to finishing school.
00:37:09And you stop listening to the radio.
00:37:10It's ruining you.
00:37:11Oh, who is that?
00:37:15Oh.
00:37:16Huh?
00:37:17Oh, oh, him.
00:37:18He's, uh, he's the new chauffeur.
00:37:20Miss Wilhelmina said you knew.
00:37:22Yes, of course.
00:37:23Of course I know.
00:37:24Certainly I know.
00:37:25Um, Patricia, go in the house.
00:37:28Huh.
00:37:29There was more swoon to him in that picture in the Times.
00:37:33I thought his eyes would be brown.
00:37:35Those pictures really are in the papers, huh?
00:37:37Yes.
00:37:37Yes, they are.
00:37:38In all of them.
00:37:39It seems that the press is giving you and my eldest daughter quite a bit of uncalled for notoriety.
00:37:44I'll speak to you later, young man.
00:37:46Just take the car around.
00:37:47Oh, uh, can you drive?
00:37:50Yes, Mrs. Hammond.
00:37:52Hmm.
00:37:54But we should go in the house.
00:37:58In my day, it was the groom who made the passes.
00:38:01There was such a nice one who used to give me riding lessons.
00:38:05Harriet, we never mention him.
00:38:07Not since he accepted that money from your father.
00:38:11Well, I can dream, can't I?
00:38:15Patricia, why don't you go in the house?
00:38:17My goodness, I have never seen such a child as you are.
00:38:20Go away.
00:38:33I don't want to see anyone.
00:38:34Relax.
00:38:35It's not that newfound wolf howling.
00:38:38It's your little sister.
00:38:39You shouldn't talk like that, Pat.
00:38:41I can read, can't I?
00:38:43They mentioned you on the radio, too.
00:38:45Called you a fickle heiress.
00:38:46Are you alone?
00:38:47Course not.
00:38:48The whole tribe's collecting.
00:38:50Camille and Mother and Aunt Harriet with their knitting.
00:38:53Boy, they're gonna skin you.
00:38:55You come in here.
00:39:00What are you staring at?
00:39:01You don't look mauled.
00:39:03What'd they feed you in jail?
00:39:04Bread and water?
00:39:05I didn't eat anything.
00:39:06It was all a mistake.
00:39:07But you were in jail twice.
00:39:09Gee, I wish I could drive.
00:39:11I'd pick up some fellow.
00:39:12Did you marry him?
00:39:13Of course not.
00:39:14Well, he's not bad, considering how empty the roads are.
00:39:20Who is it?
00:39:21It's Wiggins.
00:39:22Miss Wilhelmina, your mother wants to see you downstairs before Mr. Alvin gets here.
00:39:27I'm not coming, Wiggins.
00:39:28Tell her I've already been through too much.
00:39:30I'm staying in my room all day.
00:39:32Very well.
00:39:32I'll tell her.
00:39:34Tell me, Pat, what did they really say?
00:39:36Oh, they had a full ten rounds of top-blowing.
00:39:38Mother said, it's a disgrace.
00:39:41But of course it's all a misprint.
00:39:43Then Alvin held up this picture and said,
00:39:45how could she do this to me?
00:39:47How can I explain it to the women voters?
00:39:49In the face of this, I'll never be elected a zoning commissioner.
00:39:52Boy, were they corny.
00:39:54Wasn't he worried about me?
00:39:56No, he said you shouldn't have ripped your stockings.
00:39:58It looked common.
00:39:59They don't credit me with having any mind or emotion of my own.
00:40:03Just because Marion is regular,
00:40:05I suppose I can't speak to him without having my knees shaved.
00:40:08Well, I don't know.
00:40:09One paper said you told the police you'd call him
00:40:11if you had any more trouble with him.
00:40:15Who is it now?
00:40:16It's Aunt Harriet, dear.
00:40:18Auntie, please.
00:40:20Don't you want to hear from the voice of experience?
00:40:29Your mother's terribly upset, dear.
00:40:31Really, you shouldn't lock yourself in.
00:40:32It's all over with Alvin.
00:40:33I have nothing to say.
00:40:34You mean it's all over with you.
00:40:36There are other men.
00:40:37Not for you, dear.
00:40:38The more prominent you are, the fewer there are.
00:40:41What about Harriet Hammond?
00:40:42Is that why you never married?
00:40:43Yeah, what was the dirt?
00:40:45I'm old enough to know.
00:40:46He wanted money more than he wanted me.
00:40:49By the time my tears were dry,
00:40:51I'd knit my way through the First World War.
00:40:53Now I'm knitting my way through another war, alone.
00:40:56Because after that, no acceptable man came along.
00:40:59You're trying to frighten me.
00:41:00Yes.
00:41:01Alvin's your sort.
00:41:03Now don't be silly and throw him over
00:41:04for a stranger with an empty promise.
00:41:06I didn't know you were so unhappy.
00:41:08I'm not.
00:41:09I'm not happy either.
00:41:11You should take your problem over
00:41:12with that man on the radio.
00:41:14Boy, he's wonderful.
00:41:16Pat, I took it up with myself, but too late.
00:41:20Uh-oh.
00:41:20Well, Wilhelmina, I hardly know what to say.
00:41:30This scandal has my head reeling.
00:41:32I...
00:41:32Oh, I think I'm going to faint.
00:41:36Mom, save the nerves.
00:41:39If you only knew how corny you are.
00:41:42I don't want to hear that word corny again.
00:41:46You're becoming a juvenile delinquent.
00:41:49You're incorrigible, you little, uh, um, pest.
00:41:53Well, I'll think of something.
00:41:55Leave the room.
00:41:57Yes, come along, Pat.
00:41:58You're too young for this.
00:41:59Oh, how am I ever going to know?
00:42:01Don't you want me to be ready?
00:42:02You will be.
00:42:06Think it over.
00:42:08A man in the hand right now.
00:42:13Well, Wilhelmina?
00:42:14I suppose, Mother, I shouldn't have behaved as I did.
00:42:18Apparently, that was only the beginning.
00:42:20Um, who is this young man?
00:42:23He's just a fellow who likes this town and wants to live here.
00:42:26Yes, but who is his family?
00:42:28He hasn't any.
00:42:30Oh.
00:42:31Oh.
00:42:32Then you, you mean to say that you, you really know nothing at all about him?
00:42:35Must I?
00:42:36Well, you can see what happens when you don't know who people are.
00:42:40Oh, Alvin is terribly upset.
00:42:44I didn't hurt his car.
00:42:46No, but all this publicity has impaired his political aspirations.
00:42:50It's not dignified.
00:42:51And with Alvin on the ticket.
00:42:53Well, I'm not on the ticket.
00:42:54No, but your fiancé is.
00:42:56I ran away from Alvin because it was all I could think to do.
00:42:59The point is, I don't love Alvin.
00:43:01I never have.
00:43:03I'm not going to stay in step.
00:43:05It's a long time for Keith.
00:43:06But that's what we're thinking of, dear.
00:43:09Your future.
00:43:10Mother, you're trying to say that I'm in love with Marion.
00:43:13If I am, I didn't realize it.
00:43:16You mean you care nothing about this stranger?
00:43:19Everyone seems to think I do.
00:43:20Who am I to argue?
00:43:21Look at the future I have with me.
00:43:23Mr. and Mrs. Nobody.
00:43:25Plainfield.
00:43:26She picked him up and they were in jail together.
00:43:28That's how it all began.
00:43:30He wanted to shore the fire engine and take her for a walk in the park.
00:43:33But she said, no, no, take me home.
00:43:36He did.
00:43:37To a great big empty house.
00:43:39A cold house that has never meant a thing except that it says the Hammonds are very rich.
00:43:44But then something happened.
00:43:46While she stood there with him, it began to ring with the sound of his heart.
00:43:51He brought a yearning with him that filled it with warmth and a promise of the future.
00:43:56That's what he had.
00:43:57And that's what I'm going to share with him.
00:43:59Once you've gotten over your infatuation, you will find that all you have left to share
00:44:04is what you've given up for him.
00:44:06That isn't fair to any man.
00:44:08Not even a fortune hunter.
00:44:10Camille.
00:44:11Yes, come in, Camille.
00:44:14You'll have to try this on if you're to wear it.
00:44:16The wedding's off.
00:44:17Certainly it isn't off.
00:44:19Wilhelmina, we have tried being rational with you.
00:44:22But since that seems to have no effect...
00:44:24What will?
00:44:25Put on your wedding.
00:44:26I am not going to put that dress on you all.
00:44:28Get out of here.
00:44:29Get out.
00:44:30Get right out of this room.
00:44:31What am I going to tell Alvin?
00:44:33You've already made up your mind.
00:44:34Why?
00:44:43I think there's too much carbon monoxide coming out of that exhaust.
00:44:46You said it, Chief.
00:44:47It ain't good for your lungs.
00:44:49Take a deep breath.
00:44:52Get the briefcase.
00:44:54Yeah.
00:44:54Put my acceptance speech in it.
00:44:55And also the calcium tablets.
00:44:57You want this afternoon paper with your photograph in it, Chief?
00:45:00Yes, with the comments.
00:45:01I want Willa to see for herself just what her little rumpus has done for my popularity poll.
00:45:05You said it, Chief.
00:45:07Oh, Wiggins, I am so upset.
00:45:09My nerves are just in a dither.
00:45:11Now, just be calm, be calm.
00:45:14Yes, yes, Wiggins.
00:45:14I must be calm.
00:45:16I must be calm.
00:45:17Oh, Mr. Alvin, I am so glad to see you.
00:45:22I know, Wiggins.
00:45:23Oh, Alvin, I cannot manage Wilhelmina at all.
00:45:27She's behaving like a volcano.
00:45:29She won't even come out of her room.
00:45:31You're giving her too much consideration.
00:45:32Oh, really?
00:45:33Is that it?
00:45:34Is there anything I can do for you, Chief?
00:45:35No, relax.
00:45:36Relax.
00:45:37Odd fellow, isn't he?
00:45:39If we don't ignore what's happened, we can't expect the public to do it.
00:45:42Yes, but she seems to have made up her mind.
00:45:45So have I.
00:45:46When I proposed to Willie, I didn't expect it all to be smooth sailing.
00:45:50I appreciated the fact that the burden of our public life would be on my shoulders.
00:45:53Now, Willie seems to resent the methodical hand I'm taking on our marriage plans.
00:45:58She said it'd take some of the romance away from us.
00:45:59Oh, that's nonsense.
00:46:01That's why we quarreled.
00:46:03But you have to be keenly rational today to get things done.
00:46:06Oh, Alvin, you have so much sound sense.
00:46:10I'm going to talk to her about this.
00:46:12But right now, we must lose no time in correcting the impression she's made.
00:46:15Oh, you're right.
00:46:15You're absolutely right.
00:46:17Mohammed wouldn't go to the mountain.
00:46:19Very well, we'll have the wedding right here.
00:46:21The best way to squelch this rumor that Willie has thrown me over is to have the wedding.
00:46:25Here?
00:46:26Tomorrow?
00:46:27Yes, it can be simple and to the point.
00:46:29Then after the wedding, I'll make a statement.
00:46:32I'll simply say that my wife rightly objected to an extravagant wedding.
00:46:36She preceded me here to plan the simple ceremony.
00:46:39And we are the happiest couple in public life.
00:46:41Alvin, do you...
00:46:43Are you corny?
00:46:45Patricia, that word!
00:46:47Someday I'll think of something to stop you, young lady.
00:46:50But how will that explain the young man Wilhelmina picked up when she left you?
00:46:54I'm afraid the newspapers may want a follow-up story on him.
00:46:57That's on my shoulders, too.
00:46:58They sure will.
00:46:59What was he doing on the road anyway when she picked him up?
00:47:02Yes, Patricia.
00:47:03Oh, my dear, how bright you are.
00:47:06Isn't she?
00:47:08Oh, but Alvin, we must get rid of him.
00:47:11You don't realize how imperative that is.
00:47:14I'm equal to the job, Mother.
00:47:15Oh, the chief's in top condition.
00:47:18Oh, yes, but I'd rather you used your head, Alvin.
00:47:22Is Willie in her room?
00:47:23Yes, yes, she is.
00:47:24She didn't want to be unkind of the stranger.
00:47:27You know how she is.
00:47:28He probably threatened her, and it got into the papers.
00:47:31Now, you send the telegrams and phone the minister, and I'll take care of him.
00:47:35Oh, Alvin, you're such a comfort.
00:47:37You make everything sound so simple.
00:47:40Thank you, Mother.
00:47:40Oh, Patricia, you frightened me.
00:47:48Mother, if you knew how...
00:47:49Oh, don't you dare say that word.
00:47:52Just long, Mom.
00:47:52I'll see you later.
00:47:56Child.
00:47:58He held the gun close to her head.
00:48:01She screamed like...
00:48:03Oh, definitely corny.
00:48:07Oh, what am I saying?
00:48:09Well, Alvin, you know I don't want to see you.
00:48:17But I must talk to you about this vagrant you were in jail with.
00:48:21Under what conditions did you employ him?
00:48:23He didn't have a job.
00:48:24Did he give you his availability certificate?
00:48:26Why, no.
00:48:27Then I can't very well give it back to him.
00:48:30I'm glad the papers didn't pick that up.
00:48:32You must be more careful, Wilhelmina.
00:48:34It wouldn't look right in print that the future Mrs. Alvin Bailey
00:48:37illegally hired a chauffeur.
00:48:39But I'll straighten him out.
00:48:40You'll straighten no one out, Alvin.
00:48:43But, Willie, don't protect this fellow against me.
00:48:46You've already given the press something for the backstairs gossip to hang his hat on,
00:48:49so I'm taking over.
00:48:50Why?
00:48:51Because you're the pitiful victim of a conniving upstart.
00:48:54I'm not pitiful.
00:48:56Wilhelmina,
00:48:57our marriage plans have been too great a strain on you.
00:49:02Alvin!
00:49:03Relax.
00:49:04Get a lot of fresh air.
00:49:06Breathe deeply.
00:49:08But, Alvin,
00:49:09I don't love you.
00:49:11Time to talk about that after the wedding.
00:49:13I'm Wilhelmina's sister, Patricia.
00:49:24Better move away from here.
00:49:25You'll get oil on you.
00:49:26You sure got Wilhelmina into a jam.
00:49:29What?
00:49:29I said you sure got Wilhelmina into a jam.
00:49:35What's happened to Miss Wilhelmina?
00:49:36I bet you didn't call her Miss Wilhelmina when you got arrested.
00:49:39Are you trying to work up into a quiz, kid?
00:49:42Well, I know everything.
00:49:45Mother despises you.
00:49:47She said so.
00:49:48What does your sister say?
00:49:49She's on Alvin's shoulders,
00:49:51and he can handle you, too.
00:49:53When Mr. Bailey wants me,
00:49:54he won't have to look for me.
00:49:56He's bigger than you are.
00:49:57He's got a chest expansion, too.
00:49:59That's hot air, kid.
00:50:00Now beat it.
00:50:01I mean, please go.
00:50:03What's your other name besides Marion?
00:50:05Don't you ever read the newspapers?
00:50:07Sure, and I listen to the radio, too.
00:50:09All they called you was a pickup.
00:50:12What were you doing on that road, anyway?
00:50:14Coming home the hard way.
00:50:15Now get out of here, will you?
00:50:17I heard you the first time.
00:50:21Boy, you sure look corny in that coat.
00:50:24And you look worse, too, when Alvin gets through with you.
00:50:27He can lick you with one hand tied behind him.
00:50:30There!
00:50:31Who's corny now?
00:50:33Why, you...
00:50:34Bishop?
00:50:36Hit him, Alvin!
00:50:37You didn't give Miss Hammond your availability certificate,
00:50:40so, of course, she couldn't employ you.
00:50:42Now clear out.
00:50:42When she wants to fire me, she'll tell me.
00:50:44Throw him out, Alvin.
00:50:47Looks like I'll have to.
00:50:49Uh, didn't Miss Ramina tell you
00:50:50that one of my duties is to keep the firing range clear?
00:50:53Don't lead with your right, Chief.
00:50:56Stop that, both of you, please.
00:50:58Don't hit him, Marion.
00:50:59He has a heart murmur.
00:51:00Well, no wonder blowing himself up like that.
00:51:02He probably rattles.
00:51:03You meant that.
00:51:10You're disappointing.
00:51:13I told you not to lead with your right, Chief.
00:51:16You're fired.
00:51:17I'm in the clear.
00:51:18He changed his defense on you.
00:51:20It's quite obvious, young man,
00:51:25that you are not welcome here.
00:51:27I told you not to hit him.
00:51:29What am I, a guinea pig?
00:51:31Apparently, you're a young man
00:51:32who's trying to make a place for himself in this town.
00:51:34But we are very particular who lives here.
00:51:38Well, I'm particular too, Mrs. Hammond.
00:51:40In fact, I sacrificed a lot for this place.
00:51:42Don't you threaten me.
00:51:44Uh, if we have to find another job for you
00:51:46to, to be rid of you,
00:51:48why, why, we'll find one.
00:51:50We should throw him in jail.
00:51:52What for, battery?
00:51:53You're to blame for this, Alvin.
00:51:55I wish he'd blacken both your eyes.
00:51:57Let him try.
00:51:58I'm on my feet now.
00:52:02Uh-uh.
00:52:03No, no.
00:52:05Come on, Alvin.
00:52:06I'll patch you up.
00:52:07A piece of steak.
00:52:10Hey, what am I doing with this thing?
00:52:16Oh, Willie Patricia, you annoy me.
00:52:19Young man, you have caused us a great deal of trouble.
00:52:22First getting into the newspapers with my other daughter
00:52:25and, and now this.
00:52:26I'm sorry, Haley wanted to fire me.
00:52:28Well, Amina should never have engaged you in the first place.
00:52:31Uh, I don't even know how you got through our gate.
00:52:34Now that you're here, we don't know what to do with you.
00:52:37I haven't asked you for anything.
00:52:38No, but you know who we are.
00:52:41And you know that we can afford to pay for our mistakes.
00:52:45Very well, Mrs. Hammond.
00:52:46My time is worth plenty.
00:52:48I've learned it's the one thing I've got.
00:52:50What have you to offer?
00:52:51Oh, oh.
00:52:52Oh, well, I happen to know that Hammond Investments
00:52:55have a key opening in the Western Desert, near Needles.
00:52:58It's a long way off.
00:52:59We'll be very happy to have you there.
00:53:02That's pretty rugged country.
00:53:03I know, a tank corps trained there.
00:53:05Yes, yes.
00:53:05Now, we're putting in a new development.
00:53:07And the thermometer hits 130.
00:53:09Oh, but you'll be inside in one of our air-conditioned offices
00:53:13at a desk job.
00:53:15Believe me, young man,
00:53:16you will never be given such a wonderful opportunity again.
00:53:19I hope not.
00:53:20And besides, what are you here?
00:53:23At the moment, you're nothing more than a chauffeur.
00:53:25It's not even his coat.
00:53:28Stanley gets it back when he's out of the service.
00:53:30Why, that's right, Patricia.
00:53:31You're wonderful.
00:53:32I had no idea she was so bright.
00:53:34No way.
00:53:36I suppose I should consider it.
00:53:38Oh, indeed.
00:53:39I believe you should.
00:53:40It's a wonderful opportunity.
00:53:41Why am I arguing with you?
00:53:44You are discharged.
00:53:46I'll let you know.
00:53:47Oh, well, thank you.
00:53:50Thank you, Mrs. Hammond.
00:53:51Oh, no.
00:53:53Come on, Patricia, darling.
00:53:58Yes.
00:53:59Yes, Governor.
00:54:00Go ahead, ask me.
00:54:01Sure, I've seen that nonsense in the papers about Wilhelmina and me.
00:54:04A ripped piffle.
00:54:06It's just more of their smear campaign against me.
00:54:08They'll trump up anything to keep me from being elected.
00:54:11Well, Willie and I are the perfect couple.
00:54:13And we're going to be married tomorrow as planned.
00:54:17It's the Governor.
00:54:18He wants us to drive over.
00:54:19If he wants to see you, be reassured that there's nothing to this scandal you've got yourself into.
00:54:24You can't go with that steak.
00:54:26Let him wear it.
00:54:27We won't eat it now.
00:54:28If you'd hit him like I told you to, Alvin, we could have had that steak for dinner.
00:54:32Hello, Wilton.
00:54:33The little woman would love to come over with her mother.
00:54:36But I'm afraid I'm tied up.
00:54:38Oh, nothing, really.
00:54:39Just my last night free, you know.
00:54:41I thought I'd run over my campaign speech and put in a few more promises.
00:54:45Yes, Governor.
00:54:46Willie and her dear mother will be over.
00:54:48Well, goodbye.
00:54:53Did you have to do that to us?
00:54:55But you've upset the Governor, too.
00:54:57I think it's very nice of the Governor to take so much interest.
00:55:01Oh, uh, Wiggins, tell the chauffeur to bring the car around.
00:55:04Oh, uh, do you think it's wise to have him drive?
00:55:07Oh, you're right, Wiggins.
00:55:08I don't think this Marion fellow should drive.
00:55:10You're not there.
00:55:11Why not?
00:55:12Why, don't be a fool, Alvin.
00:55:14I will be with them.
00:55:17Of course, Mother.
00:55:18You see, I'm jealous of you, dear.
00:55:21That's encouraging, at least.
00:55:23Aunt Harriet, are you coming?
00:55:24You couldn't drag me.
00:55:25I'm going to stay here with this date.
00:55:33Mother is coming.
00:55:34We're going to the Governor's.
00:55:35It's about a 30-minute drive.
00:55:36Thank you, Miss Hammond.
00:55:38Isn't that muscle man you're going to marry coming along?
00:55:40No.
00:55:40And no wonder Mother discharged you.
00:55:42She didn't.
00:55:43She wanted me to go away to a better position.
00:55:45That was very generous of her.
00:55:46I hope you accept.
00:55:56He's getting after her.
00:55:58Alvin?
00:55:59Alvin?
00:55:59Yes, Mother.
00:56:00What is it?
00:56:00Oh, Alvin.
00:56:01Oh, my, my, my.
00:56:02What's wrong with mine now?
00:56:03What's the matter?
00:56:03It's double.
00:56:04He got her.
00:56:04Just because I stopped to powder my nose.
00:56:06Here, here.
00:56:07Smelling sauce.
00:56:07Quick.
00:56:08I'll have the police pick them up.
00:56:09Oh, I heard her scream.
00:56:10Oh, now, take it easy, Mother.
00:56:12Take it easy.
00:56:12Relax.
00:56:13Breathe deeply.
00:56:14You take care of Miss Hammond.
00:56:15I have her.
00:56:16Mother, if you only knew how...
00:56:18Patricia, if you interfere with this pain, I'll...
00:56:22Well, someday I'll think of something.
00:56:27Wiggins, where are you?
00:56:28Where are you?
00:56:28Right here.
00:56:29Oh, my poor child.
00:56:31All right, now.
00:56:31All right.
00:56:32All right.
00:56:32Sit right down.
00:56:33Oh, God.
00:56:34Strictly from corn.
00:56:37Hello.
00:56:37Hello, Sergeant.
00:56:38This is Alvin Bailey again.
00:56:39I want you to pick up another car.
00:56:41No, no, it's not a habit.
00:56:42It's an emergency.
00:56:44Just a moment.
00:56:44I'll find out.
00:56:45What's the license number of your car?
00:56:47Oh, I don't know.
00:56:48The chauffeur always takes care of that.
00:56:50Do you know what it is, Wiggins?
00:56:51Hmm?
00:56:52Number?
00:56:53Oh, five, nine.
00:56:55No, that was my point.
00:56:56I forget.
00:56:57Can't you associate it with some date?
00:56:59Tonight would be a good one.
00:57:00Boy, I'm sure lucky if it's got a 13 in it.
00:57:03Uh-uh.
00:57:0313.
00:57:04I'll have to call you back, Sergeant.
00:57:06Thank all of you.
00:57:08Well, I know there's a one.
00:57:09There's a one.
00:57:09There's an ordinance.
00:57:10Yes.
00:57:11Uh-uh.
00:57:12Oh.
00:57:13Oh.
00:57:14Could it be 1066?
00:57:15Ah, 1066.
00:57:17No, that's William the Conqueror.
00:57:19Oh, of course.
00:57:20The Battle of Hastings.
00:57:22Oh, I remember that well.
00:57:24Hmm?
00:57:26What am I saying?
00:57:28Please, Jane.
00:57:28Uh-uh.
00:57:29Thank-thank-thank you.
00:57:30Nice evening.
00:57:39Marion, you know you have to be practical.
00:57:42Why?
00:57:43I don't know why, but everybody's always trying to be that, and you must be, too.
00:57:47What do you advise?
00:57:48Well, you can't go on being my chauffeur.
00:57:50Everybody's discharged you.
00:57:52Excepting you.
00:57:53Well, I'll have to get around to it, too, if you don't leave.
00:57:56Why don't you accept that job Mother offered you?
00:57:58Leave town?
00:57:59For your own good.
00:58:01What's a town?
00:58:02It's what you make it.
00:58:03The Hammonds made this one.
00:58:05Yeah, and in some ways, they did a wonderful job.
00:58:08You're nothing here.
00:58:09Out there in that air-conditioned office, you can build a place for yourself.
00:58:13Uh-uh.
00:58:14Too lonely without you.
00:58:15But I don't go with the job.
00:58:17You know that.
00:58:17Even if I'm very persuasive, try me out.
00:58:20Marion, please be reasonable.
00:58:22I'm trying to be.
00:58:24He must plan on coming back.
00:58:25He didn't take his suitcase.
00:58:26Oh, Alvin.
00:58:29Alvin, do you think you should?
00:58:31Why, your silverware's probably in it.
00:58:34Why, he's in the service.
00:58:36You mean he should be.
00:58:39This is very serious, Mother.
00:58:40Oh, Alvin.
00:58:41More trouble?
00:58:42Not for us.
00:58:43This means we're rid of him.
00:58:45He's a deserter.
00:58:46Ah!
00:58:47Now, do you know, when I found him with Miss Wilhelmina, I said to myself...
00:58:51What do you mean?
00:58:51Well, I looked at the young man and I said, now,
00:58:54there is a young man who has done a lot of marching.
00:58:56That boy is running away from something.
00:58:58Well, you run down to the police station right now and tell him to get up here quickly.
00:59:02And they'd better come armed, too.
00:59:04These look like his papers.
00:59:05Take them with you.
00:59:06Yes, yes.
00:59:08And don't come back without at least two officers.
00:59:11I'm sure he'll try to shoot his way out.
00:59:13Shoot his way?
00:59:13Shoot his way out?
00:59:14Oh, yes, sir.
00:59:17Willie, would you want me to give up this town after I've dreamed of it and fought for it?
00:59:22But this isn't even your town, really.
00:59:24What will you do here?
00:59:26Follow through.
00:59:28Get a job and the right girl to say yes.
00:59:32She'll be about your side.
00:59:33Marion.
00:59:33Every evening after, knocking myself out for two bits, I'll come home and stand at the gate and whistle.
00:59:40And she'll come running.
00:59:42You're egotistical.
00:59:44No.
00:59:44She knows what she wants.
00:59:46She'll throw her arms around my neck and I'll squeeze her till she squeals.
00:59:52Ah, then when she gets her breath, she'll say, dear, it's been so long away from you.
00:59:57And I'll say, why, only this morning at six I left for the foundry.
01:00:01Is that the best you can do, the foundry?
01:00:03Well, not much money, but I'm happy there.
01:00:07And we'll swing through the gate and walk up to our little house hand in hand.
01:00:10And I'll kick my foot on a loose brick like I always do.
01:00:15And she'll say, dear, when are you going to pave this walk?
01:00:18The place looks like a dump.
01:00:20It does.
01:00:22Well, who cares, I'll say.
01:00:23I never see anything here but you.
01:00:26Willie.
01:00:27I'm not a millionaire, but we're in real love.
01:00:31And that's what counts.
01:00:34Marion, please don't keep on talking to me like this.
01:00:37You know I can't walk out on the wedding.
01:00:39Now, take me back to Al.
01:00:41There you go, ringing up that Hamlin cash register inside you.
01:00:44You're punchy from listening to the bell.
01:00:46All right, I'm punchy, but I belong here.
01:00:48And you can see you're not even welcome.
01:00:55Melanie.
01:00:56No.
01:00:59There are two sides to me, Marion.
01:01:01Okay, I don't want to get involved with twins.
01:01:06Well, Alvin, give them time.
01:01:08Who?
01:01:09Wiggins or that criminal she's with?
01:01:13Hello, Sergeant.
01:01:14This is Alvin Bailey again.
01:01:15Is our man Wiggins showed up there yet?
01:01:17Yes, Mr. Bailey.
01:01:18We're looking at his papers now.
01:01:20Will you hold the phone, please?
01:01:24Will you stop crowding me, Wiggins?
01:01:25Can't you see I'm trying to do me duty?
01:01:27Oh, I'm sorry.
01:01:28I'm very sorry.
01:01:29Shh.
01:01:30Mr. Bailey, as I was saying, we saw the papers before, but we didn't realize who he was.
01:01:36Thanks, Sergeant.
01:01:42The chief's coming out with the entire force.
01:01:45That boy's got quite a record behind him.
01:01:47He's an expert with a machine gun.
01:01:48A gunman.
01:01:49Oh, my poor child.
01:01:51There they are now.
01:02:00Be stoic, Mother.
01:02:01Not a word to Wilhelmina.
01:02:03She'll be too upset if she knows what danger she's been in.
01:02:12Did he put the car in the garage?
01:02:14Of course.
01:02:14Well, do you want to know the word?
01:02:21He did kiss me.
01:02:22Oh, Wilhelmina.
01:02:26Free your mind of him, Willie.
01:02:28I know it was a terrible experience, but we'll never talk about it.
01:02:31Now, you must get some rest.
01:02:33Good night.
01:02:35Yes, darling.
01:02:36Tomorrow's another day.
01:02:37If it's going to be like this, you're all so sweet.
01:02:41I guess it's for the best.
01:02:42Of course, dear.
01:02:43Good night.
01:02:51Oh, Alvin.
01:02:52Yes, dear?
01:02:54He's leaving.
01:02:55I know he is, sweetie.
01:02:57Dream of me.
01:02:58Good night.
01:02:59Good night.
01:03:07You suppose they've come to the wedding?
01:03:27Oh, Wiggins is such a fool.
01:03:30I don't know what he told them, but they've brought the band.
01:03:33And they should have brought the Black Mariah.
01:03:35Gee, they're not bad.
01:03:36Bad?
01:03:38It's your cops, Chief.
01:03:39And they bought their band.
01:03:42But why the band?
01:03:43Such inefficiency.
01:03:44They must think they've come for a swarm of bees, not a gunman.
01:03:47How'd this happen?
01:03:48I don't know.
01:03:49But I'll make it in the business to find out.
01:03:52Flower's a little groupie, Chief, but it's the best I could do on short notice.
01:04:01What's on the record, Mother?
01:04:02Oh, some unexpected guest on the play, dear.
01:04:05It's the police force.
01:04:06Boy, they're swinging it.
01:04:08Why are they here?
01:04:08You said Wiggins was sent for them.
01:04:10Alvin sent him last night.
01:04:13That chauffeur you hired is a deserter.
01:04:16Marion is not.
01:04:17Alvin had no right to do that.
01:04:19He had every right.
01:04:21And he was considerate enough to keep it from you.
01:04:23But he didn't send for a band.
01:04:31Mother.
01:04:32Oh, Alvin, do you hear that?
01:04:34What will my guests think?
01:04:36The governor's my worry.
01:04:37The chief's right.
01:04:39Undoubtedly, it's a mistake.
01:04:41Wiggins is to blame for this.
01:04:42Oh, Alvin, we invited so few.
01:04:55Look, some of those people I've never seen before.
01:04:58Maybe they've come to hear my platform.
01:05:00You said it, Chief.
01:05:02But I'm not electioneering today.
01:05:04No, not for that eye.
01:05:07Oh, how do you do?
01:05:08I'm very happy to see you.
01:05:10How do you do?
01:05:11How do you do?
01:05:12Very nice of you to come.
01:05:15How do you do?
01:05:17I'm very...
01:05:17You needn't tell me.
01:05:19Such resemblance.
01:05:20You're the bride's mother.
01:05:22I beg your pardon, I...
01:05:24Yes, yes, I am the bride's mother.
01:05:26She'll make such a nice bride.
01:05:28Oh, and he's such a fine fellow.
01:05:30I don't believe I know you.
01:05:32Do you know my daughter?
01:05:34Do I know her daughter?
01:05:35Is that a laugh?
01:05:36Well, we're old friends.
01:05:37Cellmates, you might say.
01:05:39I told Herman, I says to him, I says,
01:05:42this is one wedding we ain't gonna miss.
01:05:44Uh, we ain't?
01:05:45Did Miss Hammond send you an invitation?
01:05:48We read it in the newspaper
01:05:49about the unexpected wedding and him.
01:05:52And I told Herman, we remember him.
01:05:55Huh?
01:05:57Reads like Superman.
01:05:59And the way he treated those Japs without machine gun,
01:06:02I tell you, he deserves all them medals.
01:06:04Uh, are you quite sure
01:06:06that you're not in the wrong place?
01:06:08Um, where did you meet my daughter?
01:06:12In jail.
01:06:13In jail?
01:06:14Oh, yeah.
01:06:15The corporal and I were cellmates.
01:06:16We're cellmates.
01:06:18Well, he's fine, fella.
01:06:19Oh, oh, oh, Governor, how do you do?
01:06:23How do you do, Mrs. Hammond?
01:06:24Hello, Wilton.
01:06:25Glad you could make it.
01:06:27Now, don't tell me you ran into a door, Albert.
01:06:28The idea of the band isn't customary at a wedding.
01:06:32Are you carrying things a bit too far?
01:06:34Well, you see, we try, uh, oh, pardon me.
01:06:40Excuse me, pardon me, please.
01:06:41Excuse me, pardon me, please, excuse me.
01:06:43Wiggins, what is the meaning of this?
01:06:45Mrs. Hammond, is it all right if I bring him
01:06:47through the front of the house?
01:06:48Where have you been?
01:06:49Oh, I never, I never was so mortified.
01:06:52My goodness, the way I spoke to that boy.
01:06:54And after all, he's done it for his hometown.
01:06:56I even turned him over to the police.
01:06:58And me, me on the reception committee.
01:07:01Wiggins, you are not making sense.
01:07:02Mrs. Hammond, you don't understand.
01:07:04My lodge arranged the whole meeting for the corporal
01:07:06and I was supposed to meet him.
01:07:08But he slipped through on those civilian clothes and I...
01:07:10I think I took a couple too many.
01:07:13Excuse me.
01:07:15Oh, the governor.
01:07:17Follow me.
01:07:20It's a great day for Plainfielders, isn't it, Mrs. Hammond?
01:07:23Yes, indeed, Your Honor.
01:07:24Well, Commissioner, I hope, Your Honor.
01:07:28Just who is this Marion fellow, anyway?
01:07:31Corporal Marion Scott.
01:07:32The one man in his squad who got through.
01:07:34Why, folks have come from miles around
01:07:36to see this heroic soldier.
01:07:38And believe me, Plainfield is going to give him
01:07:40a real welcome home, aren't we?
01:07:43Well, Governor, what are you doing here?
01:07:45Wedding.
01:07:45I was invited to the wedding.
01:07:47There just isn't going to be any wedding.
01:07:49Give me the pass.
01:07:50Will it?
01:07:51Alvin, I want to talk to you.
01:07:52I can't go through with this.
01:07:54Yes, I know, Willie.
01:07:54We'll have to postpone the wedding.
01:07:56There's been a mistake.
01:07:57This Marion fellow's a national hero.
01:07:59Is Marion, Corporal Marion Scott?
01:08:01He spoke on the radio the other day, remember?
01:08:04Oh, yes, I remember.
01:08:06You'd have him in jail if you could.
01:08:08What a fool you are.
01:08:09Me, too.
01:08:10Oh, don't stand there moaning about it.
01:08:12Come on, let's hurry.
01:08:12I don't want to miss anything.
01:08:17There you go.
01:08:18There you go.
01:08:18Oh, man.
01:08:20There you go.
01:08:23Come on, man.
01:08:24Come on, man.
01:08:24Come on, man.
01:08:33Look, Wiggins.
01:08:34This is all swell, but I don't want the trimmings.
01:08:36Really, I tried to avoid it.
01:08:37Well, the legion was supposed to while when you were arriving.
01:08:39I've been watching all the trains and busses.
01:08:41I was afraid of that.
01:08:42That's why I hitched.
01:08:45Corporal, meet your mayor.
01:08:47I'm glad to know, Your Honor.
01:08:48Corporal, the town's mighty proud of her son.
01:08:50Yes.
01:08:50Corporal, as governor, may I say that the whole state is basking in your glory?
01:08:54Well, now, hold on.
01:08:55You're going to have to excuse us, governor, but we've got a day prepared for this boy here.
01:08:58There's thousands waiting to greet him.
01:09:00Well, then, let's not keep them waiting.
01:09:01Well, how about the wedding?
01:09:03The wedding can wait.
01:09:03The boy is more important.
01:09:05How about a picture there, corporal?
01:09:06Is it okay for the governor and the mayor to be in?
01:09:08Yeah, sure.
01:09:08Hold it.
01:09:10One more.
01:09:11Hold it.
01:09:13Why didn't you tip us off you were coming?
01:09:14The whole town's waiting and cheers.
01:09:15Well, there's 10 million others doing the same thing I did.
01:09:17He's modest, ain't he?
01:09:18He's right.
01:09:19What's your first impression of Plainfield?
01:09:20Tell him, son.
01:09:21Gee, that guy does a lot of dreaming.
01:09:23Am I awake?
01:09:24Are you going to settle in the old town?
01:09:25Yeah, I'm going to live here.
01:09:26He's going to live here.
01:09:27Wait a minute.
01:09:28The whole town's waiting to see this boy.
01:09:30Come on, get outside.
01:09:31Yeah.
01:09:32Come on, get him on.
01:09:36If you'd ask me, I'd tell you.
01:09:38He's worth going after.
01:09:41Well, Amina, don't make a fool of yourself.
01:09:43I don't intend to.
01:09:45I'm in love with him, Al.
01:09:46The Hammonds are getting smarter every generation.
01:09:48You're not kidding.
01:09:49He told me I'm in love.
01:09:51And I am.
01:09:53What do you mean, Al?
01:09:53Dr. Alba.
01:09:54You're terrible.
01:09:56Snap out of it, Mom.
01:09:58You're corny.
01:10:00You, you, you.
01:10:05Oh, that's wonderful.
01:10:08That's it.
01:10:09Oh, I must remember that.
01:10:10Marion, Marion, Marion, Marion.
01:10:25Oh, trying to hit you right, huh?
01:10:27Marion, please.
01:10:32I've got the reins, though.
01:10:34Isn't mine a swell town?
01:10:37Come on.
01:11:07Come on.
