Short filmTranscript
00:00William Bandit 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.
00:20Good morning, folks. Parker. Honeybee. Did you enjoy the movie, Mr. Parker?
00:24Oh, the movie? Oh, yes. Yes, indeed. Very much. I enjoyed it.
00:27Good. Well, you folks sit down. I'll get some refreshments. I'll give you hand, Paige.
00:30Well, that won't be necessary. I've got everything ready.
00:32I'll take your hat, Mr. Parker. Oh, thank you. Thank you.
00:34Sit down right over there. Gee, that movie struck home, didn't it, Jimsy?
00:38Oh, it sure did. That character that played the part of the sergeant reminded me of the top kick in my outfit. What a beast.
00:45No, no, that wasn't what I was referring to. I meant the girl and the boy who went off to war. Jimsy and I were engaged when he joined the army.
00:53How romantic. Young love.
00:57What side was he on? The north or the south?
01:00Now, cut it out, will you, Riley?
01:03I was down at the docks to see him off. He was the last one to go up the gangplank.
01:07Yes, I understand the sergeant had to come down and drag him aboard.
01:11Riley, you're breaking my patience barrier.
01:13That isn't what I meant. It was because we were so much in love.
01:17She likes to be kidded.
01:19Yes, I can see that.
01:21Well, tomorrow's another working day. We better get going, huh?
01:26Yeah.
01:27Thanks, Peg. It was nice.
01:28Good night, Mr. Parker.
01:30Good night. It's nice being with you folks again.
01:32Good night, Gillis.
01:33Good night.
01:34Good night, honey.
01:34See you in the morning, Gillis.
01:35Yeah.
01:36Bye.
01:36Good night.
01:40How about those two?
01:41I've never seen them so attentive.
01:44You know, they're a lovely couple.
01:46Yes, they are.
01:46That Mr. Gillis seems like a most attentive husband.
01:50Yes.
01:50Yes.
01:51Very attentive.
01:53Yeah.
01:55I wonder if Honeybee is coming into some more money.
01:58That's very unkind of you.
01:59No, I just thought the way he was acting, you know.
02:01In spite of what you may think, Honeybee and Gillis are a very devoted couple.
02:04Well, I merely said that.
02:06Well, I really must get home myself.
02:07And may I thank you folks for including me in this evening as it were.
02:11Well, it was nice having you, Mr. Parker.
02:13We'll do it again sometime.
02:13We're always glad to have you.
02:14I'll get your hat for you.
02:15Here we are.
02:17Well, good night, Mr. Parker.
02:19I'll see you in the...
02:20Ryle, I'm sleeping on your couch.
02:23Well, wait a minute, Gillis.
02:24I thought just a minute ago you and Honeybee went upstairs.
02:26I know that, Ryle.
02:27And when we got up there, she kept harping about the picture and harping, you know.
02:30Oh, yeah.
02:31So I finally, I casually says to her that the first sergeant reminded me of her mother.
02:35And boom!
02:37Spoken.
02:37Yeah, I'm all right.
02:39All right.
02:39All right.
02:40I'll buzz it.
02:41Excuse me, Mr. Riley, but I'm just leaving.
02:44Oh, Mr. Parker.
02:46Yes, you were leaving.
02:47Well, pleasantry, sweet, sleep.
02:50Oh, my goodness.
02:54Good morning, Mr. Parker.
02:55Nice day.
02:56Oh, Mr. Riley.
02:57Yes.
02:59How is, did he, are they back together?
03:03No.
03:04No, it doesn't look like they ever will be.
03:06Oh, my.
03:07I thought perhaps after a good night's rest, you know.
03:10No, no.
03:11That Gillis, he's sorer than ever.
03:13He's what?
03:14He's, well, he's madder.
03:16Oh, he's sore.
03:17Oh, he's sore.
03:18Well, it doesn't look like...
03:19It doesn't sound good, does it?
03:21No, no.
03:21No, it doesn't.
03:22Come on, Peg.
03:22Well, I can pack a lunch for you if you like.
03:24No, thanks.
03:25I'll leave it at the commissary.
03:30Hi, Jimsy.
03:31Hi.
03:31Morning, Peg.
03:32Hi.
03:34Your favorite sandwich is corned beef.
03:37Yeah?
03:38Jimsy, I'm sorry about last night.
03:40It was all my fault.
03:41Oh, no.
03:42It was my fault, Honeybee.
03:43I had to go popping off.
03:44You know how I am.
03:45Oh, forget it, dog.
03:50Where's Gill, Ryle?
03:52Oh, he'll be alone.
03:53Poor fella.
03:54What's wrong?
03:56Oh, he and Honeybee are having trouble at home.
03:59Oh?
04:00Who with?
04:02With each other.
04:03Oh, oh.
04:05Gee, I couldn't stand it if anything happened between Honeybee and Gillis.
04:08It's really that bad, eh, Ryle?
04:10Oh, it's terrible, Otto.
04:11You don't know.
04:11What, uh...
04:12Oh, hello, Hank.
04:13What's this about Gillis?
04:15Oh, it's nothing.
04:15Nothing.
04:16Oh, come on, now.
04:17I like to keep posted on the men in my department.
04:20I want them to feel that their problems are my problems.
04:22Gee, Hank, I'm glad to know that.
04:24Oh, yeah, yeah.
04:25My problem is with my girl.
04:26Every time we go for a drive, she wants a whole hand.
04:29You know, that's pretty tough when you're driving a motorcycle.
04:32Otto, will you please...
04:34What about Gillis?
04:36Oh, well, he and Honeybee had a beef last night.
04:40So what?
04:41Every married couple has a beef now and then.
04:43Huh?
04:44You mean that even you and Lorna mix it up once in a while?
04:47Do we?
04:48No kidding.
04:48The other night, she wanted her mother to come over, you know, and spend a whole...
04:53Riley, we were discussing Gillis.
04:56Do you remember?
04:57Oh, yeah.
04:59Well, they had this fight, and he spent the night sleeping on my couch.
05:04What?
05:04Yeah, this morning, he refused to even go up and talk to her.
05:07Oh, Ryle, this is worse than I could have...
05:10Oh, here he comes now.
05:12Not so long.
05:12Now, look, don't come right out and ask him.
05:15Just try to find out what cooks.
05:17Be subtle.
05:18Oh, yes.
05:19I'll be subtle, yeah.
05:21Hiya, Ryle.
05:22Hi, Gillis.
05:23How'd things go with you and Honeybee?
05:25Forget it, will you, Ryle?
05:26Well, it's all over.
05:28I mean, you and Honeybee are not...
05:30Look, what happens in my personal life is nobody else's business, so knock it off, will you?
05:42Coming around?
05:43Yeah, I'll be right with you, Otto.
05:48All right, Hawkins, that sounds like a good idea.
05:50Oh, fellas, come here.
05:53Riley, Otto, I want you to know Greg Hunter from our Denver plant.
05:56He's going to be with us for a few weeks.
05:57Oh, it's good to know you, Greg.
05:58Glad to know you, Riley.
05:59Hello.
06:00Hunter is quite a bowling enthusiast, like you guys.
06:03Maybe you can take him on sometime.
06:04Oh, sure.
06:05Anytime's okay with us.
06:06That's good.
06:07We'll do that.
06:08Hawkins, may I see you a minute?
06:09Oh, sure.
06:10Excuse me, fellas.
06:11Where's your stock, Greg?
06:11Oh, just about after.
06:13Who's your best man on corn assembly work?
06:15Oh, I'd say either Riley or Gillis.
06:19Maybe Gillis has the edge.
06:21We have to send a man up to our desert operation for a day or two.
06:24How about sending Gillis?
06:25Okay, sure.
06:26I'll get...
06:27Oh, wait a minute.
06:28Uh-uh.
06:29No, this isn't the time to send Gillis away.
06:32What?
06:33Personal problem.
06:35Home life.
06:36Oh, not getting on, eh?
06:38No, it's a sad situation.
06:40And knowing him as I do, it's a terrible jolt.
06:43Well, in that case, maybe you better...
06:45See, look, I live just across the street from them,
06:47and I think I'll casually drop in on him tonight and check it out.
06:50That's an excellent idea, Hawkins.
06:52Excellent.
06:52Excellent.
06:55That was a good dinner.
06:59Oh, you'd say that even if it wasn't.
07:01No, I wouldn't.
07:03Did I say it the other night when you made that fillet of sole?
07:06No, come to think of it, you didn't.
07:08Because it tasted more like fillet of heel.
07:11Jimsy.
07:12I'm only kidding.
07:12You cook good.
07:13Oh, hi, Hank.
07:19Come on in.
07:19Hello.
07:19Hi, Hank.
07:21Hello, honeybee.
07:22Sit down.
07:24Which estate?
07:26Sit down, Hank.
07:27Huh?
07:28Come on, sit down.
07:29Sit down.
07:29Sit down.
07:30Sit.
07:30Sit down.
07:30You know, uh, Gillis, old man, I'm your foreman.
07:36You realize that.
07:38And how do I realize it?
07:40Well, what I mean is I wish that you'd forget about my being your foreman and just look on
07:45me as a friend, huh?
07:48Hank, you're making it difficult.
07:49All right, I'll leave out the frills and come right to the point.
07:55I understand you two are having trouble.
07:57Domestic trouble.
07:58Oh, no.
07:59Well, who said that?
08:01Well, I'd rather not say it, but I heard it's pretty serious.
08:07Look, Hank, Jimsy and I may have our spats, but it's never anything we can't clear up.
08:12I'm for Jimsy and Jimsy's for me.
08:14Good.
08:14And if anyone ever tries to fool around with that combination, I'll flatten them.
08:19All right, girl.
08:20And she can do it, too.
08:22Hey, Hank, where did you hear this?
08:25Oh, why don't we forget the whole thing?
08:28Hank.
08:29Hank.
08:34Figures, when Stone Dome starts running off at the mouth, anything can happen.
08:47Oh, come in, Mr. Parker.
08:49Mr. Riley, this thing with the Gillis's has got me so upset.
08:56I wonder if there isn't something I could do.
08:59Well, Mr. Parker, in matters like these, I think it's best not to meddle.
09:04If we mix in, it'll only make it worse.
09:06Yes, yes, you're right.
09:07No meddling.
09:08No, no.
09:09Oh, that's very good thinking, Mr. Riley.
09:10I always say that if it's none of our business, we should stay out of it.
09:14That's right.
09:14I like your thinking, Mr. Riley.
09:16Well, it's not my thinking, it's Peg's thinking.
09:19Well, I like her thinking, too.
09:20Oh, well, okay.
09:22Yeah.
09:22The reason I was so concerned was because I saw a man go upstairs a few minutes ago.
09:30A man?
09:31Yes, and I thought it might be a lawyer.
09:34A lawyer?
09:35Well, I'm not quite sure, mind you, but the thought just passed through my mind.
09:39It just flitted through, as it were, you know.
09:41Well, there's one way to find out, you know.
09:43Huh?
09:43Come over here.
09:47That's what must have happened, all right.
09:49Oh, that's Hawkins' voice.
09:50That's our foreman.
09:51Well, Mr. Riley, I don't think it's at all proper for us to be eavesdropping like that.
09:55I...
09:56Could you open that vent a little wider?
10:01Hank, you can spread the word all around town that Jimsy and I are the happiest couple in the world.
10:06That's Honeybee's voice.
10:08She and Gillis have made up.
10:10I'm going to teach that rumor monger Riley a lesson he'll never forget.
10:14Honeybee, you and me are going to stage a fight to end all fights.
10:19And when I don't show up at the plant tomorrow to go on that desert job, Riley's going to think I left you for good.
10:25Let him spread that rumor around.
10:28This is great.
10:29Very interesting.
10:30Very interesting.
10:33Honeybee, we're going to put that fight on right now on the back porch and the steps.
10:37Gee, I hope Riley doesn't miss it.
10:39Don't worry about elephant ears.
10:42But what about the neighbors?
10:43That nice Mr. Parker might get the wrong impression.
10:45Oh, Parker don't butt in where he's not wanted.
10:48Don't worry about him.
10:53Well, good night, you two.
10:54Good night, Hank.
10:54Good night, Hank.
10:55Good night, Harvey.
10:57Good night.
10:57Good night.
11:14Are you comfortable, Mr. Parker?
11:17Oh, fine, fine, fine.
11:18All we need is some peanuts and soda pop.
11:22And a scorecard.
11:26Now look, I'll start the whole thing by saying to you, your mother is an old battle axe.
11:32Okay, and then I'll say...
11:34Then I'll say, wait a minute, wait a minute.
11:35Then I say to you, your mother's got a personality like a black widow spider.
11:40Then I come back at you and I say, your mother.
11:44What do you want?
11:45You weren't smiling when you made that crack about my mother.
11:48This is an act, thank you.
11:49I heard you and saw in your eye you meant every word of it.
11:53No, I'm making up the whole thing.
11:54Now look, I know when you're kidding and when you're kidding.
11:57And you weren't kidding.
11:59All right, if it makes you feel any better, I wasn't kidding.
12:03Oh, you weren't, weren't you?
12:04No.
12:04Oh, I was kidding.
12:05You, me.
12:08Here it comes.
12:10I'll teach you to talk about my mother's little place.
12:13You get out and stay out there.
12:14I don't care if you're ever in the place.
12:18What a performance, huh?
12:19Wonderful.
12:20Just wonderful.
12:21Oh, I'm...
12:22Yes.
12:27You have to card, Mr. Carp.
12:29Did you?
12:30Oh, yes.
12:31You have to discard.
12:32Oh, let me see.
12:33Well, now, I think I'll...
12:35Um, no.
12:37Um, yes, yes.
12:40I'll play that one.
12:41Oh, no.
12:42No, you see, that's one card you never should have played, Mr. Parker.
12:46Oh?
12:46No, you see, I can use this card, see?
12:49Oh.
12:49See?
12:50Well, you'll have to forgive me, Mr. Riley,
12:52because I'm really new at this game and just have patience.
12:55Yes, I will.
12:56But you just watch me and you'll catch on.
13:01Gin.
13:01Gin.
13:03Oh, hello, Peg.
13:08Oh, uh, how are Babson, baby?
13:10Oh, fine.
13:11Just fine.
13:12Good evening, Mr. Parker.
13:13Good evening, Mrs. Riley.
13:14Riley, I...
13:15Well, I just saw Gillis drive off alone and with his suitcase.
13:20Yes, I know.
13:21He and Honeybee split up.
13:24What?
13:24Yes, after 20 blissful years, they finally called it quits.
13:28Oh, Riley, that's a fine attitude.
13:30Oh, come on, Peg.
13:31It's nothing but an act.
13:32They put on a big fight just to teach me a lesson.
13:35Oh?
13:35Sure.
13:36Mr. Parker and I saw the whole thing in the backyard.
13:38Oh, so that's it.
13:39Yeah.
13:40Oh, and they did a splendid job.
13:42Oh, I suppose they did.
13:43Certainly, I bring the heat.
13:47Oh, Peg!
13:49Oh, Peg!
13:50You and I have had the most horrible fight.
13:54Oh, that's quite a performance.
13:55I'm regular Sarah Hartburn.
13:57Bernhardt, Bernhardt, Bernhardt.
13:58And now he's left to me.
14:01Here you are, my dear.
14:05Me?
14:05Yes, it'll have to do until the Emmys come out.
14:08Oh!
14:10Mr. Parker.
14:14Well, I guess you...
14:15Oh, excuse me, Mr. Parker.
14:19Oh, hello, Otto.
14:20Hi, Riley.
14:21You know Greg?
14:23Oh, yes, you're the new guy at the Flint.
14:25Nice to see you.
14:26Good for you.
14:26This is Mr. Parker.
14:27It's Greg Hunter from our plan.
14:28Hello, Mr. Parker.
14:29You know Otto.
14:31How are you, Otto?
14:31Greg and me are going bowling.
14:33I thought you might like to go with us.
14:34Oh, well, we would like to, Otto.
14:36But Mr. Parker and I are playing cards.
14:38Besides getting late, Jim.
14:40Gee, Riley, you're the third married guy we ask.
14:42And you can't even get out of the house.
14:44I guess us bachelors can't...
14:45Well, it's not that, Otto.
14:47It's just that...
14:49Oh, are you a bachelor?
14:51That's right.
14:53Hmm.
14:55Mm-hmm.
14:58Well, if Honeybee and Gillis can play games,
15:01we can play games, too, you know.
15:03Oh, that sounds like fun, Mr. Allen.
15:05How about Parcheesi, the authors?
15:07No, not that kind of a game.
15:09A flinch?
15:09No, Mr. Old Maid.
15:11No, no, just wait.
15:15Honeybee!
15:19Oh, Honeybee!
15:21You want me?
15:22Yes, Honeybee.
15:25Honeybee, this is Greg Hunter.
15:27How do you do?
15:28Hello.
15:28This is my wife, Pat.
15:29Oh, how do you do?
15:30Glad to know you.
15:31Uh, Greg is a bachelor.
15:35Uh, Honeybee's a bachelorette.
15:37She lives just upstairs.
15:39Now, Ryle, we better get down to holding alley.
15:41We got a lane reserved.
15:42No, I don't...
15:42Yeah, I guess we'd better do that.
15:43Huh?
15:44It's been nice meeting you, ladies.
15:46Goodbye.
15:47Goodbye.
15:47Oh, well, goodbye.
15:50Riley, I don't appreciate you.
15:51Now, hold it, Honeybee.
15:52Hold it.
15:53Well, I know that this fight between you and Gillis is just a gag, so I just...
15:57Just a gag?
15:58Yes, I...
15:59I want her!
16:04I'd hate to hear her bawl when she really meant it.
16:09Hi, Hank.
16:10Gillis, you back from the desert already?
16:13Yeah, we got through early.
16:14You want me to finish the day out here?
16:16Are you kidding?
16:17It's almost quitting time.
16:19Oh, yeah, it is.
16:20Oh, hi, Gillis.
16:25Oh, hiya, Ryle.
16:26Hey, uh, putting out an act of the house was okay, but you didn't have to take the day
16:31off to prove your point.
16:32What are you talking about?
16:34That phony beef that you and Honeybee put out.
16:36I overheard you plotting the whole thing.
16:38Have you talked to Honeybee lately?
16:39Oh, sure.
16:40She was...
16:40She was down in the house last night spilling crocodile tears all over the place.
16:44Those weren't crocodile tears, Ryle.
16:47We really had a beef.
16:48You really had a...
16:50But I thought that you and Honeybee...
16:52I know, Rob, but we started out to have a little fun, and then it wound up being a real
16:55thing.
16:56No kidding.
16:57Sure.
16:57She all busted up.
16:58I'm sure she was crying her head off.
17:01I gotta find a way of squaring this beef, Ryle.
17:04Yeah.
17:04I know what I'll do.
17:05All right.
17:06I'll bring her some red roses.
17:07That always does the trick.
17:08Yeah, they will.
17:09Okay?
17:09All right.
17:10Say, Ryle, I need some information.
17:20Well, sure.
17:21What can I do for you?
17:21This Honeybee, do you know what kind of flowers she likes?
17:24Oh, sure.
17:24She likes red roses.
17:25She...
17:26What do you want to know for her?
17:29Red roses.
17:29Good.
17:30Look, Hunter, the reason I...
17:32Look, I was just...
17:34Thanks for lining me up, Ryle.
17:36Look, Hunter, you've got to forget about Honeybee.
17:38Forget that chick.
17:40Yeah.
17:40Not on your life.
17:41But, Hunter, Gillis is her.
17:44I mean, she's his...
17:45I'm...
17:46I'm...
17:48I'm...
17:49I'm dying.
17:57Yes, sir?
17:58A dozen red roses, please.
17:59Long stems.
18:01Right away, sir.
18:02Have a seat.
18:05It's a small world.
18:10Pardon?
18:11I just ordered the same things.
18:13Is that so?
18:13Yeah.
18:14I'm Jim Gillis from Cunningham Aircraft.
18:17Well, it is a small world.
18:18I just started at Cunningham.
18:20Greg Hunter.
18:21No kidding.
18:22Yeah.
18:23I was transferred from the Denver branch.
18:25You know, I'll say one thing.
18:26The fellas certainly are friendly out here.
18:28Well, then you already met some of the guys, huh?
18:30Yeah.
18:31One of them was nice enough to line me up with a date the first day I arrived.
18:34Well, good for you.
18:36But you better watch it.
18:37There's a lot of dogs running around out here.
18:39Maybe so.
18:40But you should see this, babe.
18:43Real doll, huh?
18:44I think so.
18:45Well, every man who was on poison.
18:51Here you are, gentlemen.
18:52Hey, Laura.
19:00Thank you, miss.
19:03You know, it's a funny thing.
19:05I buy a dozen long stem roses to square a beef,
19:08and you buy a dozen to start a new romance.
19:11Well, good luck.
19:12Good luck to you.
19:13I hope I see you again soon.
19:14Same here.
19:15Oh, Mr. Parker, come on.
19:20We're in trouble.
19:22Well, we're in trouble.
19:23Yeah.
19:24Gillis is on his way home,
19:25and there's another guy coming to date, Honeybee.
19:27Yeah, but I don't...
19:28We should have stayed out of this, Mr. Parker.
19:31We?
19:31Well, but they, but...
19:32Oh, you?
19:33Yes, we should have stayed out of it.
19:34Come on, we've got to wait.
19:35You won't need that.
19:37Well, but I might.
19:37No, you won't need it.
19:38I might.
19:39I tell you, you...
19:40Come on, we...
19:41Gypsy!
19:42Honeybee!
19:43Oh, Gypsy!
19:46These are for you.
19:47Oh, gee, they're beautiful.
19:50Oh, I'm a lucky girl.
19:52I bet no other woman got roses with such long stems.
19:56Well, there was another guy buying them for his date
19:58when I was getting these.
19:59I bet you didn't appreciate them as much as I do.
20:01You like them?
20:02Oh, Gypsy, I miss them.
20:06Where's Spats?
20:07No more.
20:09We're saved.
20:10I'm so glad.
20:12Now, all we've got to do is go out front
20:13and head off, Hunter,
20:14before you can get upstairs.
20:15Come on.
20:24Oh, Mr. Hunter.
20:25I was very thoughtful of you.
20:27Oh, Mr. Riley.
20:28Oh, you really shouldn't have done it.
20:30Oh, Mr. Riley, I'm sorry.
20:31You're overwhelming, Mr. Hunter.
20:33It's so sudden.
20:34Yes, isn't it?
20:35Oh, my God.
20:37Oh, my God.
20:37Oh, my God.
20:38Oh, my God.
20:39Oh, my God.
20:40What's it doing?
20:43So that's how it came about.
20:46Exactly.
20:46Then it's just a case of a little bit of meddling.
20:48Hmm, it's a case of a lot of meddling.
20:50And I think the meddler should be taught a lesson.
20:53Are you with me?
20:54Right.
20:54I'll get my coat.
20:58But supposing Mr. Gillis...
21:00Look, Mr. Parker,
21:01if Gillis is any kind of a guy,
21:02he'll just laugh the whole thing off.
21:04Oh, he will?
21:05Well, sure he will.
21:07I would.
21:08Excuse us, please.
21:09Oh, sure.
21:15You see, Mr. Parker,
21:16I always say...
21:18Hank!
21:22Mr. Riley, you're not laughing.
21:24That's my life for that hunter guy
21:26who was going to have a date with Honeybee.
21:28Hank!
21:30Busy chap, isn't he?
21:31Busy!
21:32He's a meddler!
21:33That's what he is!
21:34Hey!
21:34Oh, my God!
22:04Oh, my God!
