00:00Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.
00:18Days of Our Lives, a new dramatic serial starring McDonnell Carey.
00:30Ben, please, sit down.
00:42Pacing back and forth doesn't accomplish anything except make me more nervous.
00:46Now, Mr. Franklin is being as helpful and cooperative as he can.
00:51Well, cooperative. He better be cooperative. I'm working through him just to keep this thing quiet.
00:55If he doesn't come through, I'll go straight to the board of directors and he knows it.
00:58But if the tape recording shows what he said, and if the machinery said emotional, he'd help us to do anything.
01:06Videotape. Closed-circuit television.
01:09Yeah, imagine trying to trap a teenage girl like that.
01:12Now, it's probably unconstitutional to begin with.
01:16Well, I'll check that out with Harry Grill.
01:18Harry?
01:19The best legal brain in the business.
01:21I thought we decided to let Mickey handle this?
01:23Your brother may mean well, Hattie, but we don't see eye to eye.
01:26We absolutely can't continue.
01:29Well, I think we're all set.
01:32Very efficient, Franklin.
01:33Oh, yes, Mr. Olsen.
01:34These modern techniques are a way of life.
01:37I think if you both sit down, you'll have a good view.
01:42Now, we'll take a look at what you've got to show us, Mr. Franklin,
01:45but if you think for one moment that Julie's going to...
01:47Yes?
01:47Yes, we're all set up here.
01:50Anytime.
01:51Thank you, Frank.
01:53They're all ready to go.
01:56Just watch the screen.
02:00Believe me, I know how you feel.
02:17Now, look.
02:23Carol and Diane are egging Julianne.
02:30Oh, no.
02:34Oh, it could have been a joke.
02:36Why, it's entrapment.
02:46He was just waiting there to arrest him.
02:49I'm terribly sorry.
02:52Oh, Jane, that's what I already told him.
03:06Hi, Mom.
03:06Hi, Dad.
03:08Boy, what a jolly group.
03:13Hey.
03:14Where's your sister?
03:15Upstairs.
03:16Why?
03:17I'll tell her I want to see her.
03:18Okay.
03:19Fix the gun.
03:20John State?
03:21No, that's fine.
03:23At least one of our kids is...
03:25Oh, then, please.
03:26You'd better tell Julie to get right down, Missy.
03:29Sure.
03:33You want one?
03:35I'd better check the kitchen.
03:37It's the candle and is at her sister's reception.
03:39Not again.
03:41Well, she's ill.
03:42They are sisters.
03:44You hire a cook and you get a traveling nurse.
03:46Oh, then, I don't know what I'd do without her.
03:47In my business, when you pay someone a decent wage, you get a decent day's work out of them.
03:54You called?
03:56I'll be in the kitchen.
03:57I'd better leave you two alone.
03:59Well, hello, Mother.
04:00Now, don't be sarcastic.
04:02Hello, Julie.
04:03Oh, I'm sorry.
04:05I'm not feeling very well.
04:07Your father will explain.
04:10Well, what was that all about?
04:11Sit down.
04:12Is that it?
04:13I said sit.
04:14Over there.
04:23We've been to Bartles.
04:24Did you pick up any bargains?
04:26At least we didn't steal anything.
04:28Neither did I.
04:29Oh, yes, you did.
04:30We saw it with our own eyes.
04:31You did?
04:32Well, isn't that interesting?
04:33Yes, yes.
04:34We were showing a very interesting television tape recording.
04:38You and your two friends and the fur piece.
04:41Television?
04:42That's right.
04:43Closed-circuit television.
04:44Uh, especially installed to record shotlifting.
04:49Well, the picture was clear.
04:51Now, there you are, looking like a common thief.
04:54A piece of trashy fur in your hands.
04:57You stuffed it in your bag like it was a piece of gold.
05:00A thief.
05:01A common thief.
05:04Was it in college?
05:05I'm telling you what we saw.
05:06Can you imagine how we felt in that manager's office?
05:12I'm going to teach you a lesson you'll never forget.
05:15And maybe what you really need is a good old-fashioned whipping.
05:18Maybe you didn't have enough of that.
05:21Oh, we've spoiled you.
05:23You've turned into a spoiled brat.
05:25You have no sense of decency.
05:26No feeling for others.
05:28You should have seen your mother in that office.
05:30She was trembling with humiliation.
05:33I don't suppose you'd listen to my explanation.
05:35You do the listening.
05:35There's going to be some changes around here.
05:38We're going to set up a whole new set of rules.
05:42And if you disobey, you'll be punished.
05:44Now, I'm not a violent man, Julie.
05:47But you've driven us just too far.
05:50Now, as long as you live in this house, you're going to live according to my rules.
05:57Now, from this point on, you're grounded.
05:59No car, no visitors, no television.
06:02No record playing.
06:03You'll be on a strict schedule.
06:06School, homework, and housework.
06:08You know, it's about time you helped your mother around the house.
06:11She's never home.
06:12What did you say?
06:13She's never home.
06:14How can I help her?
06:15Oh, never mind that.
06:16There's plenty before you do around here.
06:19Your mother will get it, or Stephen will.
06:22You know, that's another thing.
06:24Any telephone got...
06:25Mickey, he wants to talk to you.
06:27Now, tell him I'm busy.
06:28Tell him Harry Grill will be taking care of this whole thing.
06:30Ben.
06:31Now, you heard me.
06:32Ben, I told you I won't have that.
06:34I want Mickey to handle this.
06:36This is out of your hands.
06:38What did you say?
06:40Out of my hands?
06:41Julie's been getting away with murder because you're never around here to discipline her, to guide her.
06:45I won't have you blaming me for Julie's behavior.
06:48Now, what kind of a father have you been?
06:50Never phoning, coming home at all hours?
06:52We can't plan anything because of your meetings, your appointments.
06:55A good percentage of the bank's transactions are done during the dinner hour, Addie.
07:00You know that.
07:00Now, I need you two lovebirds alone.
07:05Tell us, Miss Olsen, about your family life.
07:07What goes on between your father and me has nothing to do with you.
07:13We saw the tape.
07:14We know what you've done.
07:16Oh, don't think that you can divide and conquer us, Julie.
07:20We may squabble.
07:21But as far as you're concerned, your father and I are in complete agreement.
07:26Now, there are going to be changes in your behavior.
07:28You may be sure of that.
07:31Right.
07:31And you can start right now by making the salad for dinner.
07:37And cook left an oven pan in the sink.
07:40I want it washed and scraped before it goes into the dishwasher.
07:43We'll go on with our discussion after dinner.
07:50Hey, I just picked up the extension.
07:52Uncle Mickey's on the phone.
07:53Oh, I forgot Mickey.
07:55Then talk to him.
07:58Darling.
07:59Darling, he'll probably agree if you suggest that Harry Greil would be more willing to help.
08:05Oh, but then, please.
08:06I want him in on this.
08:08I trust him.
08:09I really do.
08:16Here's a price to everything, Ben.
08:19Yes, I know, Greil.
08:22No, I don't mind if you seek his counsel.
08:24I just...
08:25All right.
08:27Let's just leave it at that.
08:28Goodbye, Ben.
08:30What's the trouble, counselor?
08:32One of your flights being difficult?
08:33Oh, boy.
08:34If it was just Julie and Annie, it'd be fine, Dad.
08:36But to have to contend with that brother-in-law of mine, it's just too much.
08:39Ah, easy, sir.
08:40Dad, he thinks he can buy his way into and out of everything on this good earth.
08:45He's just...
08:46He's unbelievable.
08:47He means well, Mickey.
08:48Dad, you've got to be kidding.
08:50No butterscotch syrup, Mickey.
08:52I'm sorry.
08:54No butterscotch.
08:55Well, by golly, the service around here has deteriorated.
08:58What?
08:59Flirt.
08:59What's yours?
09:01Um, calories.
09:02You, the greatest guzzler of ice cream in the history of Salem.
09:06You just sit down and guzzle yourself.
09:08I'll sit, too.
09:09And join the party, unless it's men only.
09:12No, ma'am.
09:13Sit down and watch us guzzle.
09:16You know, it used to bug me when I was a kid.
09:19Bug?
09:20What, Dad?
09:21You used to just sit and watch us kids eat.
09:25But, Mickey, you know perfectly well I always ate with you when I could, but...
09:29whenever your father was going to be late, why, I'd like to wait for him.
09:34Sure, I know, Ma, but...
09:36Well, now, I, uh...
09:38I kind of like it.
09:40I liked having you here.
09:43Except when I...
09:45hear you arguing with your brother-in-law over the telephone.
09:49Well, you heard that, though.
09:50Oh, it's loud enough for the neighbors to hear.
09:52Oh, golly, he's so stubborn, blind.
09:57And all he wants to do is fix.
10:00You know, everything can be fixed in his book.
10:03He just doesn't seem to realize that Julie's in very serious trouble.
10:06And I don't mean just that shoplifting charge.
10:08Now, I'm sure he's worried.
10:11He and Addie took this very hard.
10:13Ma'am, you know just as well as I do they have been very far from model parents.
10:17They've done the best they could, Mickey.
10:22Mom, Julie is...
10:24She's rebellious.
10:25She's defiant.
10:26She lies.
10:27How can you defend her?
10:28You were talking about Ben and Addie.
10:29Now, Julie...
10:31Addie has her hands full.
10:32Now, Ben means, Rob.
10:33There's not a vicious streak in him.
10:36They've both got good sense.
10:38And I'm sure that they'll work out some solution to this.
10:41They're a good family, Mickey.
10:42You can't say otherwise.
10:45Mom, I'm talking about Van.
10:48Ben and Addie seem to be much more interested in defending themselves than in helping Julie.
10:54If you're so antagonistic toward Ben, perhaps you shouldn't involve yourself in Julie's case.
11:00Well, Addie wants me to.
11:03She'd ask me.
11:03Well, of course she does.
11:05She wouldn't have it any other way, Tom.
11:07But Mickey isn't exactly impartial.
11:11Well, Dad, surely you must agree with me about Ben.
11:14Not necessarily.
11:15There's something you should understand about Ben.
11:18He's been so busy making money to be a father
11:21that he's lost the ability to communicate as a father.
11:25In order to get love,
11:27you have to have the time to give love.
11:30And Ben...
11:32just has never made the time.
11:34Don't you agree, Alex?
11:37I hope you'll find the time now.
11:40Well, you better wake up at Julie's needs before it's too late.
11:44What about it?
11:48A little more.
11:49There's lots in the freezer.
11:50Hmm.
11:50A couple of gallons the last time I heard.
11:52Well, as long as the supply is adequate,
11:54I might tolerate a smidgen more.
11:56Well, I know what your idea of a smidgen is.
11:58What about you, Tom?
11:59Okay.
12:01Oh.
12:02Just as late as I thought.
12:04Oh, golly.
12:04I thought it was close to midnight.
12:05You know,
12:06it's been such a busy day.
12:07Well, with Julie and...
12:11plans for the wedding.
12:12Hmm.
12:15Uh...
12:15Maria?
12:16Oh, no.
12:17She took my car and went downtown.
12:19I think she's shopping.
12:20Oh, are you going to stay overnight?
12:23Well, I, uh...
12:24If I can coerce my father into a game of chess.
12:28Oh, Mickey.
12:30He's so tired.
12:31Oh, no, you don't.
12:32I wouldn't miss this for the world.
12:34Ha, ha, ha.
12:37So, Marie went shopping with a men's fashion magazine.
12:40Can you imagine that?
12:42I think she wanted to buy Tony some of those shirt and tie sets.
12:45I suggested she get him some of that long-handled underwear
12:47for those cold winter nights in Boston.
12:50Ha, ha.
12:50You know what she said.
12:52Said, you don't have to worry about Tony getting any nighttime chills.
12:55Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
13:04Ha, ha, ha.
13:05That's two girls,
13:06one on each arm
13:07and this other guy's credit card
13:08in my pocket.
13:09Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
13:10Well, he cleared it with a maitre d'
13:12so we had a ball.
13:13Yeah?
13:13Talk about girls eating.
13:15Wow.
13:15You'd have thought it was their last meal.
13:17Ha, ha, ha.
13:18Well, come on.
13:18What did you do with them?
13:19Oh, well, that's the point.
13:21You see,
13:22I stuffed myself pretty good
13:23on filet mignon and cheesecake.
13:26Mm-hmm.
13:26I could hardly walk away from the table.
13:28Imagine that.
13:29Two gorgeous girls
13:31and me.
13:32And all three of us
13:34so stuffed we couldn't swing.
13:36Ha, ha, ha.
13:37Well, I put them in a cab.
13:38They offered to pay themselves.
13:40And I wound up on the Boston Commons
13:42stretched out on a bench.
13:44That is too much, really.
13:45Well, after finals, man,
13:49you gotta relax a little.
13:51Let yourself go with this.
13:52This graduate schedule
13:53is like nothing you've ever heard of.
13:55Yeah.
13:56Hey, listen.
13:58Can I, uh...
14:00Can I put this over the bookcase?
14:04You know,
14:05she's even prettier than I remember.
14:10Yeah.
14:11Can I put it over there?
14:12Oh, yeah, you can put it there
14:13if you promise to leave it there.
14:15Not a chance, old buddy.
14:19Well, I'm very happy for you, old friend.
14:21Yeah?
14:22That picture brings back a lot of memories.
14:25Yeah, it does.
14:26Remember Chuck Freeze
14:27from our high school class?
14:30The, uh, that radio bug.
14:32Yeah.
14:32Well, he's here.
14:34Uh, you'll run into him for sure.
14:36Yeah.
14:37If I get that fellowship.
14:41What time's your appointment?
14:43Uh,
14:43about ten tomorrow.
14:47I'm not too relaxed about that one, though.
14:49Yeah.
14:51When you meet, uh, Professor Heinsten,
14:53he'll put you at ease.
14:55Yeah.
14:56Really?
14:56You're a nice guy?
14:58How do you know that?
15:00Well, that's very much her.
15:02Hey, Jimmy,
15:03you're hearing the man lecture,
15:05and my being appointed as assistant
15:07is hardly parallel phenomena.
15:09Well, I just have a feeling
15:10you two are going to hit it off,
15:12that's all.
15:13Well, with your grades
15:14and your background,
15:15well, you really found
15:16a very good chance.
15:18Now, look,
15:19out of maybe 500 applicants,
15:21only 10 were selected
15:23for a personal interview,
15:24and you were one of them.
15:25I really want that job.
15:30It means financial independence.
15:34It's a good start
15:34for Marie and myself.
15:37Really want that job, Jim.
15:39And you're nervous.
15:41Now, isn't that strange?
15:44Come on,
15:45there's a great delicatessen
15:46around the corner.
15:47Nothing like it.
15:47Say it.
15:48I'll introduce you to Bagels.
15:49No, I, look,
15:50I haven't finished unpacking yet,
15:52and I've got to get some sleep.
15:54Besides, that time change
15:56isn't any help either.
15:58And by the way,
15:59I've been,
16:00I've already
16:01been introduced to Bagels.
16:05Are you all right?
16:08Hmm.
16:09Yeah, just,
16:10just dizzy, Alta.
16:13I don't know,
16:13I don't know what happened.
16:15Well, it's probably anxiety.
16:18Yeah.
16:21Yeah, either that
16:22or the other sort of
16:23delicatessen
16:24at this time, Bagels.
16:26Ah!
16:30This room's really spinning.
16:32Hey, uh,
16:33you look awful pale.
16:34You think I ought to
16:35call a doctor?
16:36Mm-mm.
16:38Well,
16:38the fellowship interview
16:40and all those wedding plans
16:42combined with a trip.
16:44Well, I mean,
16:45that's an awful lot
16:46going on all at once.
16:47Yeah.
16:48I'll get it.
17:02Hello?
17:05That's the record.
17:06No, Mrs. Jennings,
17:07I,
17:07I don't think
17:08they're in right now.
17:10No, Mrs. Jennings,
17:11I don't know
17:12what their plans
17:12for the weekend are.
17:14Hold on, please.
17:16Stevie,
17:17are your illustrious parents
17:18planning a trip
17:19to Torrey Cove
17:20for the weekend
17:21for this golf tournament?
17:22They didn't
17:23discuss it with me.
17:26Neither Stevie
17:26or I know
17:27anything about it,
17:28Mrs. Jennings.
17:28Yes, I'll give them
17:30your message.
17:32Goodbye.
17:34Well,
17:34aren't you the
17:35polite secretary?
17:36Oh, I think
17:36you're outpaging.
17:37How come?
17:38The new regime.
17:39I'm to be treated
17:40like hired help.
17:42I've got the records.
17:43Which do you want
17:43to hear first?
17:44Oh, that's also for both.
17:46No record playing,
17:47no phone calls.
17:48The dictator
17:49has spoken.
17:50I can play him
17:51and you can listen.
17:52No, I'm not in the mood.
17:53I don't feel very well.
17:55I'm sorry, sis.
17:57I bet you are.
17:58I mean it, really.
18:00You mean I've got
18:01one friend left
18:02in this house?
18:03Sure.
18:05Oh, Steve,
18:06it's a mess.
18:07It's a real mess.
18:10But I'm not finished.
18:12I've got plans.
18:13Big plans.
18:14You have?
18:16Can I really trust you?
18:19No.
18:19You know,
18:20you're just about
18:21the only person
18:22I've got left.
18:23You know that.
18:24Look,
18:25I don't think Mom and Dad
18:26are out to get you
18:27or anything.
18:28I mean,
18:28they're upset
18:28and pretty mad
18:29at you right now,
18:30but it's not
18:30going to last forever.
18:31I mean,
18:32if you do what they want
18:32for a week or so,
18:33I bet things
18:33will really calm down
18:34and go back to normal.
18:35Normal?
18:37Do you know
18:37what that means, Steve?
18:39Normal is just exactly
18:41what I don't like
18:42in this house.
18:44And I'm not going
18:44to stand for it either.
18:46I'm just not
18:48going to stand for it.
18:50How much money
18:52do you have
18:52in your bank account?
18:54About $400,
18:55I guess.
18:55I was safe enough
18:56to buy my new set
18:56of drums.
18:57But Dad bought them
18:58instead,
18:58so I've never
18:58withdrawn from that account.
19:00I might give you
19:01the opportunity.
19:02Huh?
19:03Oh,
19:03I'll pay you back.
19:05You want my $400,
19:07Julie?
19:08It's money I saved
19:08since I was just
19:09out of getting
19:09an allowance
19:10when I was
19:10eight years old.
19:11But I need it.
19:13What are you going
19:14to do?
19:16This is confidential,
19:17right?
19:18Right.
