Old Yew, which graspest at the stones
That name the under-lying dead,
Thy fibres net the dreamless head,
Thy roots are wrapt about the bones...
Alfred, Lord Tennyson
Hello everyone and welcome. What is it that makes man or woman for that matter afraid of death. I wish I could answer this myself but I like many am too afraid of the eternal rest. There are a lot of people who can't even go to funeral without fainting or having a panic attack. Then there are those who are afraid of the darkness. Oh yes as children most of us are afraid of the darkness, playing tricks on our eyes. A shadow, a flicker of the curtains or a creak of a door. In today's film from 1962 called Ring of Terror, we have a little of both fears. We start off with a medical student named Lewis Moffitt. Moffitt unlike Doc Martin who has a fear of blood, has a fear of the dark. Stemming from an ordeal he had as a child. While at medical school, Lewis has a chance to join a fraternity. Only his fellow medical students somehow know of his fear of the dark and come up with a plan. Ah, fraternities, I think I rather stay in a dorm. Staring in this tale of old jewelry we have...George Mather as Lewis B. Moffitt, Austin Green as Carl, Esther Furst as Betty Crawford, Norman Ollestad as Lew's Roommate, Lomax Study as Professor Rayburn, Pamela Raymond as Alice Lund, Joseph Conway as R.J. Dobson, June Smaney as Rag Doll Milford, Ann Morgan as the Coed Waitress and Ollie O'Toole as Dr. Walsh. So lets make some grave digger cocktails, leave a nightlight on and enjoy. As always thanks so much for watching.

00:01:54THE END
00:02:24THE END
00:02:32Good evening, friends.
00:02:34Let me invite you for a stroll down graveyard lane
00:02:37where beauty and love abide.
00:02:40And in death, we are born to eternal life.
00:02:44All monuments from the simplest temperate
00:02:57stand erect on the closed books of the lives of our beloved departed.
00:03:03And each marker withholds many stories, some filled with happiness, some filled with sorrow.
00:03:12I wonder, what would they do if they had the chance to relive their lives again?
00:03:31What would you do?
00:03:35What would you do?
00:03:35What would you do?
00:03:37Yuma?
00:03:46Yuma?
00:03:49Yuma?
00:03:51Yuma?
00:03:59Yuma?
00:04:01Yuma?
00:04:07Yuma?
00:04:09Yuma?
00:04:11Yuma?
00:04:13Come to Rhaegar.
00:04:15Where are you?
00:04:19Ah.
00:04:27Don't be afraid, Yuma.
00:04:29Don't be afraid.
00:04:37Yuma!
00:04:41Oh, there you are, Yuma.
00:04:45Nice kitty.
00:04:47Yes.
00:04:49Nice, Yuma.
00:04:51Were you frightened, Yuma?
00:04:55Nice kitty.
00:04:57Yes, Yuma.
00:04:59Yes, Yuma.
00:05:01Now, thus you and I go for a stroll, huh?
00:05:09I'm sorry, Yuma.
00:05:11I didn't mean to step on you.
00:05:15Yuma!
00:05:17Yuma!
00:05:19Yuma!
00:05:21Yuma!
00:05:23Yuma!
00:05:25Yuma!
00:05:27Yuma!
00:05:29Where are you?
00:05:31Don't be afraid.
00:05:39There, Yuma.
00:05:41Yuma!
00:05:43Come to Rieger, Puma.
00:05:45I'm sorry I hurt you.
00:05:47I did mean to step on you.
00:05:49Louis B. Moffat
00:05:55February 3rd, 1933
00:05:59November 17, 1955
00:06:04I feared not
00:06:07I remember him
00:06:13I remember
00:06:16Louis B. Moffat
00:06:19Hey, I'm going to the cafeteria
00:06:40Anybody hungry?
00:06:42Just waiting for you
00:06:42I'm ready
00:06:43Come on, the girls will be there
00:06:45Where are you going?
00:06:48To the cafeteria
00:06:49Oh, not now
00:06:52Maybe later
00:06:52Say, when is your first lecture in dissection?
00:06:57It's any day now
00:06:58You're in for quite a treat
00:07:00Professor Rayburn is a terrific cut-up
00:07:04Say, how's your stomach, Lou?
00:07:09Physically I'm fine, but technically
00:07:10Well, that's another story
00:07:12I've got to keep hitting the books
00:07:14Betty might be at the cafeteria
00:07:16All right, come on
00:07:18Let's leave
00:07:18Let's go, fellas
00:07:19I'm stuck
00:07:21I hope the hamburger is good
00:07:22Quite frankly, I was never so bored in all my life
00:07:33We parked on the drive
00:07:35We parked on the drive
00:07:35First thing he did was turn the car light on
00:07:38All?
00:07:41Then he opened the glove compartment
00:07:43Took out the paper
00:07:45And read me seven chapters from a book he's writing
00:07:48What's the name of the book?
00:07:50Oh, that I remember
00:07:51He called it The Beat Evolution
00:07:53Alice, are you sure there were no calls on it?
00:07:58The phone hasn't run even once
00:08:00Has it funny?
00:08:01Not even once
00:08:02Gee, that's funny
00:08:04When Lewis says he'll call
00:08:05He's always right on the dot
00:08:07I wonder if anything's wrong
00:08:09Are you kidding?
00:08:11Nothing will ever happen to that one
00:08:12Why not?
00:08:13He's just like any other human being
00:08:15Is he?
00:08:17Not from what I hear
00:08:19What do you hear, Alice?
00:08:20Well
00:08:21Jerry says he's got nerve
00:08:24That won't quit
00:08:25My boyfriend, Seymour
00:08:26Says he likes him
00:08:27Alice, you were saying something
00:08:30I sure wish you'd finish
00:08:31I'm saddening
00:08:32He's a little on the envelope side
00:08:33That's all
00:08:34Well, you might not
00:08:35If you understood him
00:08:36Do you understand him?
00:08:37I think I do
00:08:38Well, pretty well, anyway
00:08:40I always get the feeling
00:08:41That there's a fight
00:08:42Going on inside of him
00:08:43I can't quite explain it to you
00:08:45But it's like there were
00:08:47Two people inside of him
00:08:48Two separate personalities
00:08:49He's trying to gain control
00:08:51I know I'm not putting it right
00:08:54But I know how I feel
00:08:56When I'm with him
00:08:57Betty
00:08:58I think you're in love with the men
00:09:00I could be
00:09:02If it weren't for one thing
00:09:04What's that?
00:09:06Nothing seems to shake him
00:09:07He's not afraid of anything
00:09:09Might hurt him someday
00:09:11What do you think?
00:09:15Oh, you could go crazy
00:09:16Trying to figure the answer to that one
00:09:18I'm going to call him
00:09:19Well
00:09:22It's going to start getting
00:09:24Pretty sticky in here
00:09:25In a few minutes
00:09:25I'm going over to Jenny's room
00:09:28See you at the cafeteria
00:09:29Come on
00:09:32Let's go to the cafeteria
00:09:33Hello
00:09:47This is Lewis Moffitt
00:09:49Betty
00:09:50I missed you at the cafeteria
00:09:52I was at the hairdresser's
00:09:54Oh
00:09:55On account of our date
00:09:57What else?
00:09:58Well, you're going to be
00:10:00The slickest chick
00:10:01At that ever-loving hop
00:10:02What are you doing?
00:10:03I'm waiting for you
00:10:04To ask me what I'm doing
00:10:05Well, the gang have gone down
00:10:09To the cafeteria
00:10:10Would you like to join them?
00:10:11I'll pick you up
00:10:12Now, that's what I call service
00:10:14Send Mr. Moffitt's car
00:10:16Around to the door, James
00:10:17Please
00:10:47Gee, you must have jets
00:10:50On this heap
00:10:50My launching pad
00:10:52Is only three blocks away
00:10:53Remember?
00:10:54Yeah
00:10:54Let's continue
00:10:59To the moon
00:11:00To the moon
00:11:00Can't we spend a quiet evening
00:11:04Like alone?
00:11:05Well, we're expecting
00:11:06Professor Rayburn
00:11:07To notify us
00:11:08The fellas ought to all be together
00:11:09In case he does
00:11:10You know
00:11:10The autopsy's being conducted
00:11:12At City Morgue
00:11:13And John Doe's
00:11:14Don't grow on slabs every day
00:11:15We wouldn't be gone long
00:11:17Okay
00:11:18We go for a short drive
00:11:20Moonlight
00:11:21And then to the cafeteria
00:11:22You're so romantic
00:11:24Who's such a romantic?
00:11:26We're supposed to be
00:11:28To the physician
00:11:28We go for a short drive
00:11:30We remember
00:11:31Theagon
00:11:31I спе
00:11:33We've got j Racharr
00:11:36Hoan
00:11:37Hoan
00:11:38And then to the band
00:11:39Hoan
00:11:40Hoan
00:11:41Hoan
00:11:42Hoan
00:11:43Hoan
00:11:44Hoan
00:11:45Hoan
00:11:45Hoan
00:11:46Hoan
00:11:46Hoan
00:11:47Hoan
00:11:47Hoan
00:11:48Magnolia blossoms, aren't they lovely?
00:12:18I wish you were studying law or architecture or engineering or anything except medicine.
00:12:28But, darling...
00:12:29Just because your father was a doctor doesn't mean you have to carry on with a life that was set by someone else.
00:12:36Betty, we've been over all that before.
00:12:38I'm studying medicine not because Dad was a doctor, but because, well, I feel I have the qualifications that'll make a good doctor.
00:12:45For instance, I'm not afraid of any of it.
00:12:47I'm not afraid of the blood or the corpses or the operations.
00:12:50And things like that are important for a doctor to do his duties well.
00:12:54I'm sorry, Betty, if you're not interested in all that.
00:12:57It's my fault, darling.
00:13:00I'll never bring up the subject again.
00:13:17I'll never bring up the subject again.
00:13:20I'm sorry.
00:13:21I'm sorry.
00:13:22I'm sorry.
00:13:22I'm sorry.
00:13:23I'm sorry.
00:13:24I'm sorry.
00:13:24I'm sorry.
00:13:26I'm sorry.
00:13:27It's a raffler.
00:13:57Hold still, Betty.
00:14:27Hold still, Betty.
00:14:34Are you all right, Betty?
00:14:49I'm all right, Louis.
00:14:50You're not afraid of anything.
00:14:55Not anything.
00:14:56I'm all right.
00:15:03I'm all right.
00:15:10I'm all right.
00:15:11I'm all right.
00:15:12I'm all right.
00:15:13I'm all right.
00:15:15I'm all right.
00:15:20You're all right.
00:16:10You're right, doll.
00:16:11Which one of the three sodas would you like the best?
00:16:13Oh, honey, I'm enjoying them all.
00:16:16I'd like to try a raspberry.
00:16:19You'll have another one with me.
00:16:21I shouldn't.
00:16:23Well, all right.
00:16:24Hey, Howard, come here a minute, will you?
00:16:26What is it, tiny?
00:16:27Bring Ragdoll another soda.
00:16:29Make it raspberry, will you?
00:16:32Hey, make it two.
00:16:34Two raspberry sodas.
00:16:36They're the last of the big-time spenders.
00:16:38Oh, girls, nice, tiny.
00:16:48Hi, gang.
00:16:50Hi, gang.
00:16:51Where's Newt?
00:16:52I don't know.
00:16:53I wonder what happened to him.
00:16:54Oh, I know him.
00:16:55He spilled his death.
00:16:57Odd fellow, that Moffat.
00:16:58He rarely mixes with anybody or anything.
00:17:00Books, classes, and more books.
00:17:02You're forgetting Betty Crocker.
00:17:04What she sees in him, I'll never know.
00:17:07She's beautiful.
00:17:08And smart, too.
00:17:10Yeah, she's very devoted to him.
00:17:12Doesn't play the field.
00:17:13Like some girls I know.
00:17:15Is she coming to the hop tomorrow night?
00:17:17Yeah, with Lewis.
00:17:18He won't be there.
00:17:19Not if the autopsy's for tomorrow night.
00:17:21Him and 15 other guys.
00:17:23All of you will be dancing with tears in your eyes.
00:17:26Because the boy in your arms is a girl.
00:17:29You doctors, too,
00:17:30you always spoil our social life
00:17:32with your all-night study routine.
00:17:33That's all part of a doctor's training.
00:17:35Getting used to the irregular hours of a doctor's life.
00:17:39Oh, goody.
00:17:40Come now.
00:17:40Gee, she looks like she's just seen a ghost.
00:17:50Hi, gang.
00:17:51What's new?
00:17:51Hi.
00:17:52Hi, Betty.
00:17:54You tell me you took her to the morgue
00:17:55and looked at all the dead bodies.
00:17:57I just had a rendezvous with a rattlesnake.
00:18:00It crawled into the car while we were parked.
00:18:03But Lewis killed it.
00:18:04Gee, no wonder she's pale.
00:18:06I'd have fainted.
00:18:07Lou, I saw Professor Rayburn on the way down.
00:18:12He said the coroner might have a stiff ready for us
00:18:14by tomorrow night.
00:18:15Hey, that's great.
00:18:17Yeah, as soon as the city coroner confirms it,
00:18:19he'll let us know the exact time.
00:18:21Well, this autopsy begins our careers in medicine.
00:18:24In any way, maybe it won't happen tomorrow night.
00:18:28Hey, come on.
00:18:29Oh, boy, does that look crazy.
00:18:33And here's your check.
00:18:36Check.
00:18:36Check.
00:18:37Hey, is this a price?
00:18:39Or is that your telephone number?
00:18:42You'll have to do better than that, Tiny.
00:18:44I heard that one about five years ago.
00:18:47There was a joke about not cute as this.
00:18:51Come on, let's eat.
00:18:59This is great.
00:19:02Sac on tablets.
00:19:03Hope to keep the weight down.
00:19:04I gotta make that fraternity.
00:19:06Hey, you know what?
00:19:25I heard that music is a real fine form of exercise.
00:19:28Especially dancing to it, too.
00:19:30You want to?
00:19:31Sure.
00:19:31Sure, it is.
00:19:31Come on.
00:19:32Come on.
00:19:32Come on.
00:19:35Oh, my God.
00:19:36Oh, my God.
00:20:06Oh, my God.
00:20:36I had a lot of kicks this year, Howard.
00:20:37What do you got cooked up for the initiation?
00:20:39Well, the radiology class has some new routines worked out for the budding medics.
00:20:44I hope the boys can take it.
00:20:46I hear they got hold of some stunts tried out at Yale and Cornell.
00:20:49Not to mention, jolly old Oxford.
00:20:52They even have one from the University of Naples, which dates way, way back.
00:20:58Berlin-Napoli.
00:20:59So what do you got up, Faison?
00:21:01Well, to tell you the truth, it's pretty gruesome.
00:21:03I don't know whether fellas are going to be able to take it or not.
00:21:05Sounds terrific.
00:21:07Hey, what gives?
00:21:09Uh-uh, buddy.
00:21:10Not a little meeting.
00:21:11Besides, we can't give the pledges out their routines until after I see how they make out in their first autopsy,
00:21:16which I think will be tonight.
00:21:18Jason, Jason, bring the base.
00:21:21Professor Rayburn.
00:21:32Hello, Moffat.
00:21:33Professor Rayburn, may I ask a favor of you?
00:21:35Why, certainly.
00:21:36What is it?
00:21:37Well, I understand that you use a student to assist you at your autopsies.
00:21:40Yes, but that shouldn't concern you.
00:21:42I usually pick seniors.
00:21:44Well, I was wondering if I might help you.
00:21:48That's odd.
00:21:49Most of the fellas try to dodge it.
00:21:51They give me all kinds of lame-duck excuses, from heart condition to athlete's foot.
00:21:58Well, I think it would be very interesting, and...
00:22:00Well, may I, sir?
00:22:01Well, all right.
00:22:03I tell you what you do.
00:22:04You go by the morgue just before class and slip into a surgical gown,
00:22:10and I'll give you your instructions.
00:22:12Well, thank you very much.
00:22:13I appreciate it, sir.
00:22:15Here.
00:22:21Well, thank you very much.
00:22:51Hello?
00:23:01Hello?
00:23:03This is Dr. Rayburn.
00:23:04Oh, yes, Carl.
00:23:09You have one ready?
00:23:11Oh, no, no.
00:23:12No, it's not too late.
00:23:14I'd rather have it tonight.
00:23:16Well, you see, tomorrow is Saturday, and there's no class until Monday, so...
00:23:22Oh, that'll be fine.
00:23:24Yes.
00:23:25Yes, I'll notify the class immediately.
00:23:46Hello?
00:23:48This is Professor Rayburn speaking.
00:23:51Oh, Professor Rayburn.
00:23:52Yes.
00:23:53Yes.
00:23:53Uh, will you notify the boys to be at the City Morgue, 315 Broadway, at 845 tonight?
00:24:03Yes.
00:24:03Yes, I'll give word to the others.
00:24:06The City Morgue, 315 Broadway, 845 tonight.
00:24:12Right.
00:24:13This is it, fellas.
00:24:15City Morgue, 845 tonight.
00:24:18Listen, I'll go over to Morrison Hall and tell the rest.
00:24:21And, Jim, you go to the North Dormitory and spread the word to the rest.
00:24:24Let's go.
00:24:24Hurry up.
00:24:35We have to be at the Morgue in 15 minutes.
00:24:37Howard, can we use your station wagon?
00:24:39It's all right with me, but let's get going.
00:24:41And, Jerry, you can take six, can't you?
00:24:44Yeah, I can take six with me.
00:24:45Good.
00:24:46We'll see you there.
00:24:47And remember, 315 Broadway.
00:24:49Come on, let's go.
00:24:50315 Broadway.
00:24:52416 Broadway.
00:25:22Come on, let's go.
00:25:37Come on upstairs, upstairs.
00:25:44Gentlemen, this is your first gastrovascular dissection.
00:25:49It is the threshold of your future medical career.
00:25:56Some of us may succeed and some of us may fall.
00:26:02However strong we may feel, some of us cannot overcome certain inner emotions.
00:26:10And when we view an autopsy of this kind, let me say to you to feel free to leave the class
00:26:18if you should feel nauseous, it is sometimes difficult for us to accustom ourselves
00:26:26to the callousness of what is to follow.
00:26:33Mr. Moffitt, will you roll in Mr. John Doe, please?
00:26:38Well, thank you.
00:26:39I don't know.
00:27:11Mr. John Doe left this world with one possession on it, a gold ring.
00:27:30We shall begin with a pectoral incision.
00:27:41Then we follow with an abdominal incision.
00:28:04We have now exposed the gastrovascular cavity.
00:28:16We have cut through the epidermis.
00:28:21And you see this yellow mass.
00:28:25That's the fatty tissue.
00:28:27It reminds you of chicken fat.
00:28:31We then proceed to the right and locate the duano.
00:28:43Now, gentlemen, please pay close attention.
00:28:47I'm about to show you some of the striata and some of the non-striata muscles.
00:28:55Now, this is most important in the human body.
00:28:59Now, continue on.
00:29:01Muscles.
00:29:03It makes the body muscle.
00:29:07It's important.
00:29:08Lesser or a great degree.
00:29:10For example, for some of you.
00:29:13From the pitch of your eye.
00:29:15From the right hand.
00:29:16That was a non-striata.
00:29:17And, on your right hand.
00:29:18You have one that was a plus-striata.
00:29:19It's really very simple.
00:29:20Now that we've made the pectoral incision, I want you to notice all the fleshy tissue up around the chest.
00:29:34This man must have led a very full and active life.
00:29:49Perhaps he was a carpenter or a bricklayer.
00:29:52But his muscle structure up in his chest is just fantastic.
00:29:57You notice all the tissue in here.
00:29:59See that?
00:30:00Now, another indication.
00:30:02Another indication, gentlemen.
00:30:07When you look at the duop down here on the right.
00:30:11You find, oh, all kinds of little things.
00:30:14They look like, well, chicken eggs sometimes.
00:30:17Except a chicken egg with a broken blood vessel in it, you might say.
00:30:22It's a kind of a dark, uh, bloody mass.
00:30:28Well, it's not very pleasant to look at, I must admit.
00:30:31But it's most important to the human anatomy.
00:30:36Very important indeed.
00:30:39As we look in the upper chest cavity, you will notice something that is most important.
00:30:46The aorta.
00:30:47Now, gentlemen, you have just seen your first medical dissection.
00:31:04Mr. John Doe has rendered posthumously a great service to medical science.
00:31:10Tomorrow, he will be transferred to the General Mausoleum of the Raven Hill Seminary, where he will be stored for about a week in the receiving vault.
00:31:26After that week, he will probably be buried there in Potter's Field.
00:31:32Mr. Mausoleum, you may escort Mr. John Doe to his drawer.
00:31:39Mr. Stone Doe to his drawer.
00:31:54something
00:32:02something
00:32:06something to the lights
00:32:07don't let it look after me
00:32:09please
00:32:10it's dark
00:32:13somebody
00:32:14I'm afraid
00:32:24what is it what's the matter you were talking in your sleep
00:32:35what's wrong having a nightmare
00:32:37I guess so
00:32:40what are you doing with my book
00:32:45the psychology of fear
00:32:48what are you scared of
00:32:50come on let's get some sleep
00:32:53what's the matter with you
00:33:05I was just thinking
00:33:07do you have to do it staring at me
00:33:09you know every time you have a nightmare
00:33:11you always say the same words
00:33:12don't turn off the light
00:33:14what are you doing now taking notes
00:33:16what does it mean anyway
00:33:18ask a psychiatrist
00:33:20don't get touchy
00:33:22well how do you think it feels
00:33:23to wake up and find some guy staring at you
00:33:25I don't mean to bug you about it
00:33:27it's the same nightmare I've been having
00:33:30ever since I was a kid
00:33:31it's got some meaning I guess
00:33:33but I don't know what it is
00:33:34maybe I've been around too many dead bodies
00:33:36look if it annoys you
00:33:38I can move to another room
00:33:39oh no I didn't mean that
00:33:40I just
00:33:40well you know I just wondered
00:33:42don't you ever have nightmares
00:33:44after that autopsy
00:33:45I'll probably have plenty of them
00:33:47look it's ten minutes after four

00:34:37to want to speak to us

00:34:41second fiddle to a skeleton

00:44:27Come on, Professor Rayburn.
00:44:41No, no.
00:44:42How about you, Dr. Walsh?
00:44:57I imagine we ought to make a decision.
00:45:14My vote goes for Miss, um, Lund.
00:45:20Miss Alice Lund.
00:45:22I'll go along with that, too.
00:45:25Well, I vote for Miss Milford.
00:45:26Miss Ragdoll Milford.
00:45:29Who?
00:45:30He, uh, he means the, uh, uh, the large one.
00:45:38And he's kidding.
00:45:39He's gotta be.
00:45:41You are kidding, aren't you, young man?
00:45:43No, sir.
00:45:44To me, she's lovely.
00:45:48Well, I'd hoped we could make a unanimous decision, but that's your choice.
00:45:53Yes, sir.
00:45:54You know, I think you both ought to vote for her, too.
00:45:56Oh, you two.
00:45:58Why?
00:45:59Well, so I've been told Miss Milford has heart and spirit and soul and generosity and kindness, too.
00:46:07We are selecting the winner of a beauty contest, not a den mother.
00:46:11Oh.
00:46:11Well, if you're only interested in superficial values, surface qualities.
00:46:20Oh, well, even speaking of surface qualities, just look at the...
00:46:23That'll do.
00:46:24I think we've reached a majority decision.
00:46:27Uh, you'll make the announcement, Professor Rayburn.
00:46:29I'll be glad to.
00:46:30Uh, ladies and gentlemen, it is my pleasure to announce that the judges have reached a unanim...
00:46:44Uh, a majority decision.
00:46:46It is my pleasure to announce the queen of the Bacchananian Festival as Miss Alice Lund.
00:46:55Here we go.
00:47:05Hey, here we go.
00:47:16Here's the hot dogs, folks.
00:47:17Come on, let's get some water.
00:47:23I'm waiting.
00:47:24What?
00:47:25What?
00:47:26Hey, someone, let's get some, because there's going to be no one that lost.
00:47:28Oh, I got one here.
00:47:29I got one.
00:47:30I can't pick this up.
00:47:31Yeah.
00:47:32I got it, not a lost.
00:47:34Bacchus, the king of wine.
00:47:47Praise be Bacchus.
00:47:49Oh, no, no, you have two more minutes to go.
00:47:53Then you can have all you want.
00:47:56I'm so thirsty, it seems like I've been without water for a month instead of just a day.
00:48:01All right, all right.
00:48:02Hey, fellas, his highness craves to sup of yawn nectar.
00:48:07Are we ready?
00:48:09Yeah.
00:48:10A tall, refreshing goblet of coke nectar.
00:48:21Come back in.
00:48:22Come back in.

00:49:11Oh, honey, you're for me.
00:49:14What about tomorrow night?
00:49:26I've got another one in my purse.
00:49:44Oh, boy.
00:49:56Bragdolle, let me ask you a question.
00:50:01What is it, Simon?
00:50:02Did you bring the mustard?
00:50:15What a cute little chick.
00:50:26Oh, come on, Tommy.
00:50:50I know what your mission is.
00:50:52Tom.
00:50:53Tommy, come on.
00:50:54Come on.
00:50:56Oh, I almost made 36 inches.
00:51:13See?
00:51:14You did pretty well, Tiny, considering.
00:51:16You mean I'm in?
00:51:16I'm a brother?
00:51:17Well, not quite.
00:51:18What do you mean?
00:51:19Uh, here's your assignment.
00:51:21Let's see.
00:51:25Tiny.
00:51:25For the next seven days, you will forgo all food, whatever, with the exception of bread
00:51:31and water at three regular intervals a day.
00:51:34Oh, no, that's too much.
00:51:36I quit.
00:51:36Here, you can have my saccharine bottle and take back your assignment.
00:51:39I don't want to be anybody's brother that bad.
00:51:42Besides, I already got me a brother.
00:51:43And I got a sister, too.
00:51:45I'm going to go find Ragdoll, because she likes me just the way I am.
00:51:48Now, wait a minute, Tiny.
00:51:50Wait a minute.
00:51:50What do you want?
00:51:51You passed.
00:51:52Yeah?
00:51:53I was just kidding you.
00:51:54You passed your initiation.
00:51:55You're one of them.
00:51:56Yeah?
00:51:56Didn't have the heart to keep you worrying about it.
00:51:59Oh, you mean I'm a brother?
00:52:00Oh, boy.
00:52:01Wait till I tell Ragdoll.
00:52:02It's almost 11.30.
00:52:06My assignment.
00:52:08May I read it?
00:52:09Sorry, darling.
00:52:10Against the rules.
00:52:11You shall go to Ravenhill Cemetery.
00:52:24Enter the General Mausoleum.
00:52:26In aisle 3, Crypt 18, you will find the remains of Autopsy John Doe.
00:52:30On his right angular finger, you'll find a gold ring, which you must deliver to the president
00:52:36of the Senior Initiation Committee upon your return to the campus.
00:52:39The Senior Committee will later make proper restitution through the caretaker of Ravenhill.
00:52:45What's wrong, Lewis?
00:52:48You're not scared, are you?
00:52:50You are.
00:52:51For the first time in your life, you're really scared.
00:52:55Don't be silly.
00:52:57There's nothing to it.
00:52:59I've got to go.
00:53:00Please be careful, darling.
00:53:02I'll see you when I get back.
00:53:21Hey, Bob, have you seen Lou around?
00:53:40Yeah, he should be back any minute.
00:53:42Where'd he go?
00:53:42On his assignment.
00:53:44Hey, what about you?
00:53:44Did you finish yours?
00:53:46Yes, I ask everyone who lives on Howard Street for a penny.
00:53:49And?
00:53:50I got 23 cents.
00:53:5223 cents?
00:53:54You were gone four and a half hours and all you got is 23 cents?
00:53:57It must be the recession.
00:54:00Say, what kind of an assignment did Lou get?
00:54:02Well, he'll tell you.
00:54:03If he's able to tell you when he gets back.
00:54:06You know, I heard you guys gave an assignment that dates back to the 15th century.
00:54:10About that time.
00:54:11Is that the one Lou got?
00:54:13Hey, why all the curiosity?
00:54:15Oh, I just wondered if Lou's assignment was as weird as mine.
00:54:18Weird?
00:54:20Yeah, I guess that is the word for it.
00:54:24Weird.
00:54:24Weird.
00:54:24Weird.
00:54:24Weird.
00:54:25Weird.
00:54:25Weird.
00:54:25Weird.
00:54:25Weird.
00:54:26Weird.
00:54:26Weird.
00:54:32Weird.
00:54:32Weird.
00:54:51Weird.
