00:00William Bandits in The Life of Riley with Marjorie Reynolds as Peg, Tom D'Andre as Gillis, Wes Morgan as Junior, and Gloria Blondell as Honeybee.
00:16Produced by Tom McKnight.
00:19Be ashamed of yourself carrying on like this on Babs' wedding day.
00:23I can't help it, Cal. Babs is my only daughter, and now I'm losing her forever.
00:28Oh, come off it, Ryle. You know very well as long as Don's in the service, Babs is going to go on living right here at home here.
00:36Yeah. Yeah, that's right. Right after the honeymoon, I'll have my Babsy back again.
00:42Babsy?
00:44What gives?
00:46Well, I was wondering, Cal, she's going to be a married woman.
00:49So?
00:50Well, if I have to address her as Mrs. Marshall, will it still be okay for her to call me Daddy?
00:56Oh, sure. The only difference is, from now on, you'll be a dad through marriage.
01:02Yeah. Yeah, that's right.
01:04What am I worrying about?
01:06This is the happiest day of my life.
01:08Ah, it's more like it.
01:14Hello?
01:16Oh, yeah, just a minute.
01:18For me, Riley?
01:18No, Peg, it's for Junior. Junior!
01:21Dear, I wish Junior wouldn't tie the phone up. There's so many people trying to reach us today.
01:24Yeah, but...
01:26For me, Paul?
01:28Junior, there's a wedding going on.
01:30You shouldn't be tired of this phone, you see.
01:33Just a second, I'll take it into the other room so we can talk.
01:35But, Junior...
01:37Don't let it upset you, Dublin.
01:42This is one day we've all got to be happy.
01:44Oh, of course, dear.
01:46Well, I better get in there and help Babs finish packing.
01:48Well, I'll tell you what I'll do, Peg.
01:51I'll...
01:52Packing?
01:53Oh, Babsy is packing.
01:56Oh, no.
01:58I can't go through that again.
02:01I'll see you in the wet aisle.
02:10An electric toaster.
02:15A glassware.
02:16Oh, my, Babs certainly got a lot of wedding gifts, didn't you, dear?
02:20Yeah.
02:21Nobody could deserve them any more than our sweet little Babsy.
02:26Uh, that must be towels.
02:30Another toaster.
02:32Another toaster.
02:34I didn't raise my daughter to be so selfish that she's got to have two toasters.
02:38I thought that since our toaster burns, it's a toaster every time I use it.
02:45Well, it doesn't burn when I use it.
02:47Oh.
02:49I think just about everyone sent a gift.
02:51Yeah.
02:52Everybody except Mr. Cunningham.
02:54Well, when your employer is president of the company, you can hardly expect him to remember.
02:58Well, how could he forget?
02:59I sent him five announcements just to make sure.
03:02Oh, Riley.
03:04I'm getting it.
03:05Junior.
03:06Every time the phone rings, you don't have to think it's...
03:08It's for me, Bob.
03:11If that Alexander Graham Bell was still alive, I'd tell him to uninvent the telephone.
03:17How do you like that?
03:18Junior's getting another call while he's still talking.
03:20Now, look, Junior.
03:21Riley, it's the front door.
03:23Oh.
03:28Oh, hello, Otto.
03:29Hi, Riley.
03:30Mrs. Riley.
03:30Hello.
03:31For bags.
03:32Otto, you've already left to get for bags.
03:35That's more than I can say for that lousy Cunningham.
03:38It's a complete set of flat sterling silver from that lousy Cunningham.
03:43What?
03:44That's right, Riley.
03:45Otto, you've got no right to talk like that about the sweetest boss a guy ever had.
03:50Oh.
03:51Oh, Riley.
03:53Well, I've got to get home and start golling up for the wedding.
03:55Yeah, okay, Otto.
03:56Oh, dear.
03:57We have to do the same thing.
03:58Yeah, okay.
03:58And, Riley, I'm going to wear a whole suit that's got pants the same color as the coat.
04:02Oh, that's swell, Otto.
04:04In honor of the occasion, I'm going to wear a necktie.
04:09But you better hurry up, huh?
04:11Go ahead.
04:11Goodbye.
04:12Goodbye, Otto.
04:12Oh, he's a sweet fellow.
04:15Oh, Riley, you're not going in our bedroom.
04:18Well, if you want me to get dressed, I am.
04:20That's where my clothes are.
04:21Well, you'll have to wait a few more minutes.
04:22Babs is using our room.
04:24Oh, okay.
04:25Oh, but you might look in on Junior to see that he's not tying up the phone again.
04:29Well, he better not be.
04:31Junior!
04:34Now, look, Junior, you've got to stop using the phone.
04:36You don't...
04:37Oh.
04:39Your mother might be getting some last-minute calls.
04:42Sure, Pa.
04:43Okay.
04:49Well, look, son, just because we don't want you using the phone is no reason for you to leave home.
04:55I'm not leaving home.
04:56But all your things are all...
04:58Your skis and...
05:00Oh.
05:00Oh, I'm moving into Babs' room.
05:03Babs' room?
05:04Well, sure, it's bigger than mine, and as long as she's getting married...
05:07Sure, yeah, how could you?
05:09Babs' room ain't even cold yet.
05:11Riley!
05:12Yeah, Peg?
05:13Our bedroom's all clear.
05:14You can go in now.
05:15Okay.
05:17Put that stuff all back, son.
05:18Hey, Pa, why don't you...
05:19Junior, never mind.
05:20Just put it back.
05:40Hello?
05:40No, Junior's talked enough already.
05:44Call back after the wedding.
05:45Hi, Mrs. Riley.
06:06Hello, Don.
06:08Well, you aren't dressed yet.
06:10Well, I know.
06:10I was late getting away from the base.
06:11Is everything all set with the chaplain?
06:13Yes, he's coming up with my best man.
06:15Wonderful.
06:16Mrs. Riley, could I speak to Mr. Riley for a minute?
06:19Of course.
06:20Riley!
06:21Don's here!
06:22Be right with you, Peg.
06:24Goodness, I have to get ready myself.
06:26Oh, hiya, son-in-law.
06:33Hi, Mr. Riley.
06:34I hope you two don't plan on getting married too often.
06:37These studs are too much trouble.
06:39Ben, now, I'm going to get ready.
06:41And remember, we don't have too much time.
06:42Oh, okay, Peg.
06:45Well, Don, how do you feel?
06:47Just like I felt the night before I left for boot camp.
06:49Yeah, I know, but it's a lot easier going on your honeymoon.
06:53You won't have no sergeant standing around giving orders.
06:55No.
06:56Of course, if you want Peg and me to...
06:59Mr. Riley, I just stopped by for Babs' suitcase.
07:02Oh, well, it's in the...
07:04Suitcase?
07:05Well, Babs is going to need that on our honeymoon.
07:07Well, that's what I mean.
07:08I thought if I put it in a car now, then I wouldn't have to after the reception.
07:11Oh.
07:12Well, don't you worry about it.
07:13I'll put it in the car later.
07:14Come on, sit down over here, Don.
07:16This is our last chance to have a little talk.
07:18But, Mr. Riley...
07:19Don, as the father of the girl you're going to marry,
07:23I want you to realize what a sweet little girl you're getting.
07:26Well, I already know that, Mr. Riley.
07:27Of course.
07:28She is a little bit extravagant at a time.
07:31She...
07:31I know.
07:32But I know that you two are going to get along real good together.
07:35Oh, I'm sure we will.
07:36Except those times when she wants her all the way.
07:38Then she'll argue with you clear into the night.
07:40Mr. Riley, don't you think...
07:41When she gets gone, she won't give you a chance to get away in edgeways.
07:44But, Mr. Riley, I can't stand here listening to you all day.
07:47We have a wedding, you know.
07:48Oh, you lucky guy, you...
07:53Oh, Peg, I'm so excited.
08:00Weddings are such fun.
08:01For who?
08:03Why, Peg.
08:04Oh, I didn't mean it that way.
08:05It's just like...
08:06Well, like getting Riley dressed.
08:08Oh, I know.
08:09Calvin's over at the house arguing for all he's worth with an innocent white shirt.
08:20Bird!
08:21Another S.O.S.
08:22This is worse than shooting for the corner pocket with a baseball bat.
08:33Here, I'll still.
08:35Now.
08:36Oh, thanks, Peg.
08:37Hi, Belle.
08:38My, don't we look nice.
08:40Yeah.
08:40That's not bad for a rented outfit, huh?
08:43You look wonderful, dear.
08:44Yes.
08:44I'm all ready except for slipping into my dress.
08:47Peg, have I got everything on?
08:50Tie, shirt, handkerchief, cufflinks.
08:53Yes, dear.
08:54I keep feeling I've forgotten something.
08:55Well, you look fine.
08:56Is there anything I can do for you?
08:58Nothing.
08:59Come on, Belle.
08:59Just stay as you are until it's time to go.
09:02You must be just about worn out getting everything ready for the wedding.
09:09Well, the biggest item is out of the way.
09:11When it comes to getting dressed up, they're all alike.
09:14Is there something I can do, Peg?
09:15Oh, no thanks, Belle.
09:16I'll just slip into my dress and we can go.
09:18Okay, I'll get Calvin.
09:19Calvin.
09:32Riley!
09:33Yeah, Belle?
09:34What on earth happened?
09:40I forgot to take a shower.
09:42Yeah, I told you.
09:43I had a feeling.
09:48Thanks.
09:49Anything else you need, Belle?
09:51Nothing, Mom.
09:52Thanks.
09:55Okay, but would you help me with this cufflinks?
09:57I haven't time now.
09:58I've got to get down to the church and check on the ushers and the flowers and the bridesmaids.
10:02There's a dozen other things.
10:02Yeah, but I've got to get to the church, too, Peg.
10:04We do wait and bring Babs.
10:05Yeah.
10:05Junior and I are riding down with Judy.
10:07Oh, okay.
10:08Junior!
10:08Look, Peg, all you have to do...
10:10Oh, my, don't we look handsome.
10:13Yeah.
10:13Oh, stop complaining.
10:15The thing that right now all the other kids are headed for the mountains for skiing, tobogganing,
10:19ice skating...
10:20Junior.
10:21They're laughing and having a lot of fun.
10:23Don't forget that someday this will be happening to you.
10:25Yeah, Junior.
10:26One of these days, you'll be getting...
10:29Judy, promise me you'll never get married.
10:33Oh, Riley.
10:34But, Peg, the Babs gone, the house is going to be empty, and if Judy gets married, it'll
10:38be twice as empty.
10:39Well, let's meet one problem at a time.
10:41There ought to be a law that parents only have to toss one of their children into the sea
10:44of matrimony.
10:46Oh, there's Judy now.
10:49Everything all right, dear?
10:50Bye, Mom.
10:51We'll meet you in church, Riley.
10:53Okay.
10:54Oh, come on, straighten up.
10:58You and me both.
11:03Oh, I'd like to lay my hands on the monster that invented cufflakes.
11:12Oh, I'd like to lay my hands on the monster that invented cufflakes.
11:16Oh, I'd like to lay my hands on the monster that invented cufflakes.
11:19Everything is ganging up on me.
11:32Come on, get out of there!
11:34You've never been a prettier maid of honor.
11:35Thank you, Mrs. Brown.
11:36Hi, Mrs. Brown.
11:37Oh, hello, Don.
11:38Oh, my lucky daughter.
11:40Oh, thank you.
11:41This is Chaplain Schaefer and my best man, Jim Oliver.
11:44How do you do?
11:44Hi, how are you?
11:45Judy, you know Don.
11:47Hi.
11:47Oh, well, Chaplain Schaefer and Jim Oliver.
11:50How do you do?
11:50Hi.
11:52Oh, I knock it off.
11:53The court can't afford to lose two good men.
11:56Thanks for the loan of the shirt, Mr. Marshall.
11:58You're welcome, Riley.
12:01Well, it won't be long before you and me will be in-laws, huh?
12:03Yeah.
12:04I understand you still have that mountain cabin, huh?
12:08Yeah, still got it.
12:10Right on the shore of the lake, huh?
12:11That's right.
12:13There you are.
12:15Well, thanks.
12:16Got to get home now.
12:17See if the license is ready to leave for the church.
12:19Yeah, me and Ben's got to keep going, too.
12:21Well, I'll see you later, in-law.
12:25Okay, Riley.
12:29I may be losing a daughter, but I'm gaining a mountain cabin.
12:35I'm more sleeping in those pump tents.
12:38Daddy?
12:39Oh, yes, Nancy?
12:40Are you ready?
12:41Yeah, I'm all set.
12:42How about you?
12:42Be right there.
12:43Good.
12:44Let's see.
12:46Oh, here.
12:47Flower for my buttonhole.
12:49But, uh...
12:50Oh, cigars.
12:51Oh, shit.
12:52Oh, no, you don't hand out cigars at a time like this.
12:57Daddy.
13:00Babsy.
13:01You're beautiful.
13:03You're beautiful enough to be a bride.
13:07Daddy, I'm frightened.
13:12I'm frightened, too, Babsy.
13:14I'm so frightened.
13:17Look.
13:18Why don't we run away and forget about the whole thing?
13:21We can go to another town and change our names.
13:24No, we...
13:25Well, Judy's looking for a husband.
13:27Maybe she ain't done.
13:27Come on.
13:28We've got to get to the church.
13:31Yeah, I guess we've got to.
13:35Oh!
13:36My hat.
13:37I left it in the kitchen.
13:39You get in the car.
13:40Daddy, Dad, now please hurry.
13:41We have a minute to spare.
13:43Yeah, okay.
13:44Just leave the front door open.
13:45I'll be right out.
13:46Oh, my thank you.
14:00Oh, my thank you.
14:10Oh, my thank you.
14:14Your mother and I are sure going to miss you, Babs.
14:34We just hope you feel the same way about us.
14:39Babs, I said we...
14:40Look.
14:49Otto!
14:50Oh!
14:52Hi, Babs.
14:53I can't stop long.
14:54I'm on my way to your wedding.
14:56Otto, I'm desperate.
14:57I should be at the church right now.
14:59Why?
15:00Because I'm not...
15:01Can you take me?
15:04Sure.
15:05You want to drive?
15:06It's a big kick.
15:07No, thanks.
15:14Better wear these.
15:15It'll keep your eyes from watering.
15:17Thanks.
15:18Say, on the way down,
15:19we could stop and do some hill climbing.
15:21Otto.
15:22Straight to the church.
15:25Yes, ma'am.
15:25Yes, ma'am.
15:29Yes, ma'am.
15:31Come on!
15:33Oh, no!
15:56Betsy!
15:57Bets!
15:58Bets!
15:59Bets!
16:00Bets, what are you?
16:03Bets!
16:06She's gone.
16:09She must have...
16:11She must have jumped out of the car at the first signal.
16:14She decided not to go through with it.
16:16It's all my fault.
16:18I talked her into it.
16:20Phone.
16:22Where's the phone?
16:32What stupid jerk put the phone in the suitcase?
16:39It's locked.
16:43Phone is off the hook.
16:44Operator!
16:45Operator!
16:46Operator!
16:47Operator!
16:48Operator!
16:49Operator!
16:50Fly for me.
16:51I can't understand what's keeping them.
16:53Riley probably stopped off to shoot a game of snooker.
16:57Oh, no!
17:06What on earth?
17:07I'll explain later.
17:08Where's Dad?
17:09Where's Dad?
17:10I haven't seen him.
17:11You mean he hasn't shown up yet?
17:12No!
17:14Anybody want to take a spin around the block while we're waiting?
17:18Well, it's just a thought.
17:19Mom, they're waiting.
17:20Oh, Babs, you better get in there.
17:22I'm waiting for him.
17:41Riley, it's about time.
17:42She backed out.
17:43What?
17:44It's all my fault.
17:45I told her to call her off and move to another town.
17:47Riley!
17:48I'll take the whole plane.
17:49I'll even get down another girl down at the plate.
17:50Riley!
17:51It's my fault, Peg. Don't hold it against Betsy. It's my fault, really it is.
17:53Yes, dear. In the meantime, will you get in there and take that girl's arm?
17:57Girl's arm? You mean they already found a substitute?
17:59Oh.
18:03Thanks for being my father for a few minutes.
18:05I don't mind as long as it isn't permanent.
18:07Pardon me.
18:08Excuse me. I'm supposed to take this girl's arm. Let's...
18:12Betsy, you changed your mind.
18:15What?
18:15But I thought...
18:16Shh.
18:21Will you take this woman as your lawful wedded wife?
18:44Will you take this man to be your lawful wedded husband?
18:47I do.
18:48I now pronounce you man and wife.
18:49You make this right.
18:51You make this right.
18:51I now pronounce you man.
18:53You make this right.
18:54You make this right.
18:54That's right.
18:54No, no, no, no, no, no.
18:59I want to...
19:04See, already she's starting to boss me.
19:34Now, this is the way we cut the cake.
19:36I hold on to the knife like this, and you put your hand over mine like this.
19:40How many times have you been married?
19:44She goes.
19:48Mrs. Marshall, I guess you know I'm gaining a wonderful son.
19:51Oh, I feel the same way about my lovely new daughter.
19:54Did you tie things to the car like I told you to?
20:05Did I tie things to the car?
20:07Good boy, Adam.
20:08I didn't miss kissing the bride, did I?
20:10Hey, that's right.
20:11We've got to kiss the bride.
20:12Let's go.
20:12Come on.
20:16Hey, where is the bride and groom?
20:17They were here a minute ago, but he was standing right here.
20:20Hey, well, that's funny.
20:24Adam and John just went out the back way.
20:26They're heading up the side of the house.
20:27Oh, stop it.
20:38What are you trying to do, murder them?
20:40You're trying to see I could find out what's the plan, Ryle.
20:42Oh, give me that.
20:45Bye.
20:46Bye.
20:46Bye.
20:47Bye.

21:00Bye.
21:01Well, it was your idea to have me tie stuff to the car, Ryle.
21:04Uh...
21:05Here.
21:06Bye.
21:07Bye.
