An old ledger left behind by a father uncovers secrets meant to stay buried. Behind faded numbers and worn pages lie silent sacrifices, dark decisions, and a legacy never meant to be inherited. As the past demands its reckoning, a son is forced to confront the true cost of bloodline, debt, and family loyalty.

00:00:00The End
00:00:30The End
00:01:00The End
00:01:04Kelly
00:01:05Kelly, hurry up. We've only got five minutes.
00:01:09I'll be right down.
00:01:30I'd like to say a few words about what's happened to me over the past year.
00:01:34You women may not sympathize. You think men have it easy, but that's where you're wrong.
00:01:39Man is a very delicate and sensitive mechanism.
00:01:42If you treat him right, you flatter him and butter him up a little bit. He's good for years.
00:01:47But if somebody rocks the boat, well, you know how it is, men.
00:01:54You work hard for years trying to build a home, raise a family.
00:01:58And then comes one wonderful day when for the first time in your life you feel you're a little ahead of the game.
00:02:04Things have eased up at the office. The kids are all set.
00:02:07Married or well along in school or both.
00:02:09And you're raring to go.
00:02:12You think of all the wonderful things you would have done in your life if you just had time.
00:02:19You go fishing.
00:02:21You go big game hunting.
00:02:23You might even climb Mount Everest.
00:02:25Anyway, you're on top of the world.
00:02:28You begin to feel you're a combination of Don Juan and Columbus.
00:02:31And that's just the moment they choose to let you have it.
00:02:39I remember it was just a year ago today.
00:02:43I caught my usual commuter's train.
00:02:46It was late as usual.
00:02:48It was such a beautiful day that I let the bus go by and walked home from the station.
00:02:53It was one of those first warm days in May when everything seems to come to life.
00:02:58I felt particularly well.
00:03:01I was thinking what a lucky man I was.
00:03:03With a nice house all paid for.
00:03:04Three children all paid for.
00:03:06And a beautiful wife.
00:03:11Ellie!
00:03:13Hi, boys.
00:03:14Hold on.
00:03:15Ellie, I'm home!
00:03:17Coming!
00:03:20Ellie was radiant that night.
00:03:22She seemed to be floating on air.
00:03:24Stanley, what kept you? It's late.
00:03:26Such a nice day I walked.
00:03:31Dan!
00:03:36What's the matter?
00:03:37Can a fella kiss his wife?
00:03:42Oh, you won't have time to change.
00:03:43We have to start right away.
00:03:45Right, where are we going?
00:03:46Okay, and Buckley asked us to their apartment for dinner tonight.
00:03:48She found this morning, said she had some good news.
00:03:51Oh, oh, Buckley put over the deal, I guess, with the chain stores, huh?
00:03:54That plastic bag of his?
00:03:55Oh, I don't think that's the big news.
00:03:57I'm thinking something much more important than that.
00:03:59More important than that?
00:04:00Why?
00:04:00That means thousands of dollars.
00:04:01I don't know.
00:04:02What could be more important than that?
00:04:04Something.
00:04:05Nothing.
00:04:05Get my coat, will you, dear?
00:04:06Yeah.
00:04:07Night, Tommy.
00:04:07Night, Ben.
00:04:08Night, Mom.
00:04:09Kay said she was sorry she couldn't have you, too, but she had to have Buckley's father
00:04:13and Muck.
00:04:14Is Kay going to cook?
00:04:15Mm-hmm.
00:04:15You better take your bicarb with you.
00:04:17Oh!
00:04:18Oh, boy, don't keep talking.
00:04:20Some of your jokes get funnier every year.
00:04:21Stanley, please, I promise that you could go to the movie.
00:04:23Then, you go up, we're on your way to the game.
00:04:25Oh, and, uh, Delilah, back to the dishes.
00:04:28We're out with you, Mr. First of the Pictures.
00:04:29Thank you, sir.
00:04:30Uh, Tommy, don't study too late.
00:04:32Remember, if the rug man calls, tell him to call the...
00:04:34Stanley.
00:04:37What's got into you?
00:04:38It's spring.
00:04:41It must be.
00:04:43What's that?
00:04:45Yes, sir, we're in a rut, Ellie.
00:04:47Not that it isn't a pleasant rut, but I think we ought to get out of it.
00:04:49You know, you're a very beautiful woman, Ellie.
00:04:51I stand.
00:04:52Oh, a very, very beautiful woman.
00:04:54Trouble is, I never see you.
00:04:56Come home at night, you want to know if I've seen the hole in the carpet or whether I'll
00:04:59fix the leaky faucet or something.
00:05:01Oh, I don't mean that it's your fault, no.
00:05:03I think we ought to forget about it, though.
00:05:04We ought to forget the house, forget the whole thing.
00:05:06Go away and take a trip.
00:05:08No reason why we can't.
00:05:09We're as free as the air.
00:05:11Kind of like when we were first married.
00:05:14Poor Kay came along.
00:05:15But this time, we're not broke.
00:05:17We could even go to Europe.
00:05:18I think we'd better wait and hear what Kay has to say.
00:05:21Honolulu.
00:05:22What about Honolulu?
00:05:23That's the place.
00:05:24How about it, Ellie?
00:05:24Let's see.
00:05:25Oh, dear.
00:05:27Waikiki Beach.
00:05:28Moonlight on Waikiki.
00:05:31Flowers, ukulele, romance.
00:05:34The bling.
00:05:35The bling.
00:05:36The bling.
00:05:37Blingety bling.
00:05:38Bling.
00:05:39Well, I'm going to call up that travel agency in the morning and find out about those
00:05:42praises.
00:05:44Hi, dear.
00:05:45Hello, darling.
00:05:46There she was, my Kay, the darling of my heart.
00:05:50I couldn't yet believe she was a married woman.
00:05:53She still seemed like a kid to me, playing at keeping house.
00:05:56How are you?
00:05:57You feeling all right?
00:05:58Feeling all right?
00:05:59Look at her.
00:06:00How does she look?
00:06:01Never looked better than her.
00:06:02Oh, thank you, pal.
00:06:04How's he treating you?
00:06:06Oh, fine.
00:06:07You missing?
00:06:07Mm, don't talk.
00:06:09Hello.
00:06:10Hello.
00:06:11I was full of the milk of human kindness that night.
00:06:13I even looked at my son-in-law with a friendly eye.
00:06:16I don't say that he was my ideal, but I was getting used to him.
00:06:20Father Banks, how are you?
00:06:21Nice to see you.
00:06:22How have you been?
00:06:23Come on in.
00:06:24Don't stand out here.
00:06:25Say, uh, do you think we get to kind of do away with that Father Banks stuff?
00:06:29Just call me Stanley.
00:06:30Okay, Stan.
00:06:31What?
00:06:31Not Stan.
00:06:32Stanley.
00:06:33Stanley.
00:06:34Yeah.
00:06:34Okay, Stanley.
00:06:36How about a little golf on Sunday?
00:06:37Oh, you're on.
00:06:38George, it's wonderful to see you again.
00:06:40It's been fun to choose.
00:06:41Well, her boy, how are you?
00:06:43Oh, so, so, so, so.
00:06:45Why, you look wonderful.
00:06:46Dorothy, how are you?
00:06:47How are you?
00:06:47What's wrong with the old man?
00:06:49It's the spring.
00:06:50It always takes it out of him.
00:06:51It puts it into me, doesn't it, darling?
00:06:53I suppose you got the same message we did.
00:06:55Yes.
00:06:55It's a very important move.
00:06:56That's right.
00:06:57Why, you're not okay.
00:06:57I can't wait.
00:06:58You have your cocktail.
00:06:59Oh, darling, you can't do this to us.
00:07:01Buckley, you tell us.
00:07:02We're all here now.
00:07:03Well, I hope it is.
00:07:05I know what it is.
00:07:06Great news, eh, Buckley?
00:07:07Oh, well, I think it is.
00:07:09Oh, Buckley, did you tell them and not tell us?
00:07:12No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:07:13I guessed it.
00:07:14You really put it over it, didn't you, boy?
00:07:15Oh, Buckley, he's not right.
00:07:16It's not that horrid contract.
00:07:18A contract?
00:07:18Is that what it is?
00:07:19Thousands of thousands.
00:07:20Oh, we hoped it was a baby.
00:07:23Oh, I prayed for a baby and now to hit this.
00:07:26Look, Buck, that's what it is.
00:07:27It is a baby.
00:07:28A baby.
00:07:28A baby.
00:07:30Oh, Buckley, that's wonderful.
00:07:32Oh, congratulations.
00:07:35I'd never seen such excitement.
00:07:37Kay was passed around like a loving cup.
00:07:38I can't tell you how delighted I am.
00:07:40Let's move.
00:07:42Buckley stood by, trying to look modest.
00:07:45He only succeeded in looking slightly half-witted.
00:07:48Oh, Buckley.
00:07:51I grinned and tried to join in, but somehow there was a fly in the ointment.
00:07:55I couldn't put my finger on it, but there was definitely a fly.
00:07:59Yes, sir, that's the greatest news I've had in years.
00:08:03How about that, Grandpa?
00:08:08Grandpa.
00:08:09That was the fly.
00:08:12Grandpa.
00:08:15First he steals my daughter, now he makes a grandpa out of me.
00:08:18I do wish she'd go to Dr. Bonds.
00:08:23After all, he's taken care of her all her life.
00:08:25I suppose this man is all right, though.
00:08:28Good gracious, November, that doesn't give me much time, and I have a million things to do.
00:08:32Ben, Tommy.
00:08:34What do you want them for?
00:08:34I want to tell them.
00:08:35Ben, Tommy, wake up.
00:08:37Tommy, Ben, boys, do you hear me?
00:08:41Something wrong?
00:08:41What is it?
00:08:43What's the matter?
00:08:44The most exciting news.
00:08:46Kay's having a baby.
00:08:48Right now?
00:08:49No, silly.
00:08:50In November.
00:08:51Poor Buckley.
00:08:52Poor Buckley?
00:08:52What do you mean, poor Buckley?
00:08:53You wouldn't say that if you'd been there tonight.
00:08:54He was just bursting with pride.
00:08:56We were standing there telling him how delighted he'd be, and he just stood there looking sort of cute and shy.
00:09:00Wasn't he cute, Stanley?
00:09:02Cutest thing you ever saw.
00:09:03Oh, all right, all right.
00:09:04You're all like you men.
00:09:05Good night, Tommy.
00:09:05Sorry I woke you up.
00:09:06Now, night, Ben.
00:09:07Go back to your book.
00:09:08Good night, Ben.
00:09:09Good night, Tommy.
00:09:11Um, no need of broadcasting this, you know.
00:09:22Mrs. Dixon, please.
00:09:24Ellie, what are you doing calling people up at this time of the night?
00:09:27Will you please ask her to call Mrs. Banks the minute she comes in?
00:09:29I have some very important news to tell you.
00:09:32Ruth Dixon would have to forgive me if I didn't tell her right away.
00:09:34You know, I think I'll give Kay a baby shower.
00:09:36We could have her on a Saturday, and you could ask the men to come in after.
00:09:38Ellie, do we really have to blaze in this thing from the housetops?
00:09:41Huh?
00:09:42You know, after all, it really isn't our affair.
00:09:45Stanley, what's the matter with you?
00:09:46I swear you act as though you almost didn't like the idea.
00:09:48I don't.
00:09:49Why, Stanley?
00:09:50For heaven's sake, why?
00:09:51I'll tell you why.
00:09:52Exactly why.
00:09:53In the first place, they haven't got room enough for a baby.
00:09:55The little apartment they live in isn't big enough for the two of them, much less a baby.
00:09:58But they can always...
00:09:58In the second place, they can't afford a baby.
00:10:00The babies cost money.
00:10:01The older they get, the more they cost.
00:10:03What do they think they're going to use for money?
00:10:05You heard him at night, didn't you?
00:10:06When I asked him if he had the contract, he said no.
00:10:07But did that faze him?
00:10:09Oh, no, no.
00:10:10He just stood there looking cute.
00:10:12Cute.
00:10:13And he's the one who's going to be the father.
00:10:15Well, I'll tell you something.
00:10:16If he's got any idea that I'm going to pay for it, he's got another thing coming.
00:10:19I just got through paying for the wedding.
00:10:21But, Stanley...
00:10:21And another thing, I think they ought to wait.
00:10:23Wait?
00:10:24For what?
00:10:24For seven or eight years, that's what.
00:10:26What do they know about children?
00:10:27Why, Kay's just a child herself.
00:10:28Here she gets out of college, marries the first guy she comes in contact with.
00:10:32Now she's saddled with a baby.
00:10:33Stanley Banks, you listen to me.
00:10:35I left school to marry you.
00:10:37Do you remember that?
00:10:37And do you remember when we were married?
00:10:39Of course you don't.
00:10:40We were married on the 4th of September.
00:10:42What's that got to do with...
00:10:43And do you remember when Kay was born?
00:10:45The 21st of June.
00:10:47Exactly.
00:10:48While my class was up there on the platform graduating, I was home having a baby.
00:10:52Well, I don't...
00:10:54Oh, Stanley, I...
00:10:56I know they haven't money and...
00:10:59The apartment is small, but...
00:11:01Those things don't really matter, do they?
00:11:04The important thing is that...
00:11:05We're going to have a grandchild.
00:11:08Darling, it's like getting a dividend.
00:11:12It's like getting a dividend.
00:11:14Yeah, something comes to you and you don't even lift a finger.
00:11:17You have none of the responsibilities of a baby.
00:11:20None of the hardships.
00:11:21All you have to do is love it.
00:11:27Hello?
00:11:28Ruth, I have the most marvelous news for you.
00:11:31I'm going to be a grandmother.
00:11:33It's like getting a dividend.
00:11:34Yes, isn't that divine?
00:11:36Oh, we're so excited.
00:11:37Yes, Kay told us about it tonight.
00:11:41Ellie didn't seem to mind the idea.
00:11:44Maybe women were different, but when I thought, a grandfather.
00:11:48Well, I was the guy who was going places.
00:11:51The whole world of adventure was waiting, just waiting for me to give it the nod.
00:11:54And now a grandfather.
00:11:57I thought of the other grandfathers I knew.
00:12:00Why, they were old, old men.
00:12:02The toothless old codger down the street.
00:12:05That client of ours, his only fun was cutting people out of his will.
00:12:08Those ancient dodos at the club.
00:12:12You'd have to use a stethoscope to be sure they were still living.
00:12:17I didn't belong with them.
00:12:19I wasn't ready for the morph ball yet.
00:12:21Why, I hadn't even begun to live.
00:12:24Only trouble with me was I was a little out of condition.
00:12:28I spent the next afternoon in the gym.
00:12:31Thanks.
00:12:31Thanks.
00:12:31Thanks.
00:12:32Thanks.
00:12:32Thanks.
00:12:32Thanks.
00:12:32Thanks.
00:12:32Thanks.
00:12:32Thanks.
00:12:33Thanks.
00:12:33Thanks.
00:12:34Thanks.
00:12:34Thanks.
00:12:35Thanks.
00:12:35Thanks.
00:12:38Thanks.
00:12:40Thanks.
00:12:58Oh, that's fine, fine.
00:13:04That evening, I felt like a million.
00:13:09But the next morning, I felt closer to a hundred.
00:13:23Andy, Buckley's here for your golf match.
00:13:26What's the matter?
00:13:27What have you done?
00:13:30Here, here, help me help you.
00:13:32Where's the pain?
00:13:33It's all over.
00:13:34Oh, whatever did you do?
00:13:36What happened?
00:13:36I'll pull Dr. Bonds and get him over here right away.
00:13:38Oh, I don't want any doctor.
00:13:40Well, Stanley, for all we know, might be your appendix.
00:13:41Yeah, how could it?
00:13:43I haven't got an appendix, and you know it.
00:13:45Well, I'll get Buckley.
00:13:46Buckley?
00:13:47If I don't want a doctor, I certainly don't want Buckley.
00:13:50Well, I thought he might be able to help.
00:13:52Help?
00:13:53Don't you think he's done enough?
00:13:54All I want is a hot bath with some Epsom salt.
00:13:57All right, I'll go Buckley and be right there.
00:13:59Oh, oh, Buckley.
00:14:00Buckley.
00:14:01Oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:14:03The next week, Ellie gave what she called a stork shower.
00:14:10This is one form of highway robbery, not punishable by law.
00:14:13Hey, Ellie.
00:14:20Hey, here's one here.
00:14:22You have an open.
00:14:23You're loyal.
00:14:23I'll be sure to keep your car.
00:14:25Yes, you do.
00:14:26Stanley, how wonderful that you got home in town.
00:14:31You should see the things they gave Kay.
00:14:32Everyone was so sweet.
00:14:33They all brought her something.
00:14:35What else could they do, honey?
00:14:37Oh, Stanley, you make it sound so sordid.
00:14:39Go on in.
00:14:40Oh, no, no, no.
00:14:41There's no place for a man.
00:14:42Hi, Pop.
00:14:43Where are you going?
00:14:45Don't you want to come in and see my plunder?
00:14:46Well, I'll see it later.
00:14:48Oh, come on.
00:14:48Stanley, when you're finished, I have something very important I want to talk over with you.
00:14:51I'll be in the kitchen.
00:14:52All right.
00:14:52Buckley looked like a man going down for the third and last time, but I decided to let
00:15:19him stew in his own juice.
00:15:26Well, what do you want, Mom?
00:15:29Oh, I...
00:15:31I, uh, wanted to talk to you before the Dunskins got here.
00:15:35Oh.
00:15:36You know how worried I've been about how we're going to rattle around in this house after
00:15:40Ben leaves for school in the fall?
00:15:42Mm-hmm.
00:15:43Well, I had a wonderful idea today.
00:15:45Oh?
00:15:47I say we asked Kay and Buckley to move in with us.
00:15:51Ellie, are you crazy?
00:15:53Well, Stanley, it'd be so simple.
00:15:55We could make a sitting room for them out of Kay's old bedroom and knock through a door
00:16:01to Ben's room, and that could be their bedroom.
00:16:03Then if we put Tommy in the spare room, we could put connecting doors from the bathroom,
00:16:09and that would be the nursery right next to our room.
00:16:12We could even knock through a door to our room, so if the baby cried, we could...
00:16:15Yes, that'd be great.
00:16:16No, Ellie.
00:16:17No.
00:16:18No.
00:16:18Stanley, it won't cost much.
00:16:20I had the contractor over here today.
00:16:22It's a perfect place for the baby, and the wonderful thing would be that if they wanted
00:16:26to go out some evening or even go away for a week or two, they wouldn't have to worry.
00:16:30We'd be right here to take care of it.
00:16:31Yeah, yeah.
00:16:32Now, look, Ellie, I know how anxious you've been to get your hooks into that baby, but
00:16:37the answer is no.
00:16:38I've been all through that, you know, the 2 o'clock feedings and the colic and the measles
00:16:42and all the rest of it, and I'm not going through it again, especially with somebody else's
00:16:45baby.
00:16:46But it wouldn't be like that, Stanley.
00:16:47It would be fun to have a baby.
00:16:49Yeah, you can go over and see the baby at their apartment.
00:16:51Well, when they get it all washed and iron.
00:16:53But it's not coming here, and that's vital.
00:16:55Well, you know that apartment isn't big enough.
00:16:57All right.
00:16:57Tell them to buy a house.
00:16:58Well, they can't afford a house.
00:16:59Well, they should have thought of that before.
00:17:02I don't understand how you can be so hard on a poor, innocent little baby.
00:17:08Mom, stop.
00:17:10The Dunsons are here.
00:17:11Would you please come out and talk to them?
00:17:12I'm not going to take a bite of the girls.
00:17:13Of course.
00:17:17Come on, Stanley.
00:17:21Sorry, Herbert.
00:17:25We were afraid you weren't coming.
00:17:26Well, well, Ellie.
00:17:28And how's Grandpa Banks?
00:17:33Why, what's the matter?
00:17:34You're crazy.
00:17:37Look at me.
00:17:38I always say the only exercise I get is in burying the men that take it.
00:17:42Oh, really, this baby's the best thing that ever happened to Herbert.
00:17:46It's giving him a new lease on life.
00:17:48Sit down.
00:17:49I'll have to walk.
00:17:49Oh, no, no, no, no.
00:17:50Not now.
00:17:51You sit down, Ellie.
00:17:52You sit down.
00:17:54Oh, I beg your pardon, dear, because I've got something I want to show you.
00:17:57Hey, Buckley, come here.
00:17:59I want you to see your present.
00:18:00Here, take this out of the way, will you, Stan?
00:18:02Now, we're going to need a lot of room.
00:18:04Here you are, old boy.
00:18:04What is it?
00:18:06It's a blueprint.
00:18:08Here, hand me that, Jack.
00:18:09A blueprint for the future, a blueprint for happiness.
00:18:14There now, Stan.
00:18:14Just hold that side down, will you?
00:18:16And you hold the other side, Ellie.
00:18:18There now, you two kids.
00:18:19Take a look at that.
00:18:20What is it?
00:18:21It's your new home.
00:18:23Home?
00:18:24What do you mean?
00:18:25Well, I'll tell you.
00:18:26I was looking over our house just the other day, and it came to me like an inspiration.
00:18:30That whole west wing, it was the perfect place for you kids.
00:18:34So, I called up my architect, and I had him come right out.
00:18:37Here, let me show you.
00:18:38Your own study, your own living room, dining alcohol, kitchen, and laundry.
00:18:44And over here, baby's room, nurse's room, and master bedroom.
00:18:49And it's all plenty commodious.
00:18:51Ellie was fit to be tied.
00:18:53She saw that baby slipping out of her hands.
00:18:55The living room is 26 by 22.
00:18:57Is that big enough?
00:18:58And best of all, you'll have two babysitters ready-made.
00:19:03That's right.
00:19:04Well, kids, how about it?
00:19:06Well, it's wonderful, isn't it, Patrick?
00:19:08Yeah, yeah.
00:19:09Gee, Dad, it's swell of you.
00:19:10I'll get that peanut.
00:19:11Now, you understand, of course, that there's nothing final about these particular plants.
00:19:15I just want to give you a general idea of what it might look like.
00:19:18Now, if you'd like to have your entrance here, well, that can be managed.
00:19:22I'll call up the architect.
00:19:23It's all your fault.
00:19:24It never would have happened if you'd let me ask them here.
00:19:28Ellie, I don't get it.
00:19:29You're more excited about this baby than you were about any of ours.
00:19:32Oh, well, you don't understand.
00:19:33This is the time that Kay needs me the most.
00:19:35I was going to take so much over her shoulders.
00:19:37I was going to help her with the shopping and help fix the baby clothes and fix the...
00:19:42All right, all right, Ellie.
00:19:44If it means so much, have it here.
00:19:46I don't care.
00:19:46Well, right now they're going to the Dunstons.
00:19:48We'll never see them.
00:19:50Don't be silly now.
00:19:52You heard what Doris Dunstons said.
00:19:55This baby was the best thing in the world that ever happened to her, but...
00:19:58To her, but...
00:20:00They're going to take over that baby body and so...
00:20:03Ellie, this is ridiculous.
00:20:05You were acting like a...
00:20:07Oh, it was so sweet of you.
00:20:15So wonderful.
00:20:16And we'll never be able to thank you enough, but...
00:20:19Oh, it's really better this way.
00:20:20We'd only have gotten in your way.
00:20:23I'm sorry you went to all this trouble and expense, Dad.
00:20:26We should have told you soon.
00:20:27Have you already bought it?
00:20:29Well, practically, we made a deposit on Sunday.
00:20:32I see.
00:20:33What's this, Kay?
00:20:34You got a house?
00:20:34I didn't realize that you were in a position to buy.
00:20:38Well, yeah.
00:20:39We got a mortgage from the bank.
00:20:41A mortgage?
00:20:42What's wrong with a mortgage?
00:20:43I had a mortgage myself a few years ago.
00:20:45Tell me all about the house.
00:20:46Where is it?
00:20:47It's in the new development.
00:20:49It's just darling, isn't it, Becky?
00:20:50It's just big enough for me to take care of easily.
00:20:52And there's a nice backyard for the baby.
00:20:54And Bob and Fliss are going to buy out there.
00:20:56Is it furnished?
00:20:57Well, no, it isn't.
00:20:58But we thought we should buy some unpainted furniture.
00:21:00Oh, you can't lift a finger.
00:21:02You don't have to do a thing.
00:21:03I'll do the whole business.
00:21:04What's your mother?
00:21:05Well, I'd like to know you can tell me that.
00:21:07Ellie was off again.
00:21:08I can't have a shot and bring you the snack.
00:21:09I think you're all here about the opening.
00:21:11What about the price?
00:21:13For the next few weeks, I'd stop at the new house to pick up Ellie.
00:21:16She was working time and overtime.
00:21:17I don't have to do it.
00:21:18I don't have to do it.
00:21:23Don't you have to do it?
00:21:23I don't have to.
00:21:27Hey, get him.
00:21:31Yeah.
00:21:33How are you?
00:21:34Wonderful.
00:21:35Come on in.
00:21:37You look fine.
00:21:40Oh, you don't.
00:21:42You'll stay out of there.
00:21:43Come on right now.
00:21:44What's the matter?
00:21:45Oh, it was just a smell of the pain.
00:21:46Well, it still smells.
00:21:48Stanley, make it stay out here before we come together.
00:21:50You ought to be here any minute.
00:21:51Oh, hello there.
00:21:54How are you?
00:21:55Fine, thank you.
00:21:55Well, what new wonders to be accomplished today?
00:21:58You're going to see it tomorrow.
00:21:59Take her a while now.
00:21:59You'll be late for the party.
00:22:00Come on, something can help.
00:22:01There's nothing left to do.
00:22:02Your father and I will lock up.
00:22:03Have fun.
00:22:04Well, bye.
00:22:04Bye.
00:22:05Bye.
00:22:05Bye.
00:22:05Bye, Stanley.
00:22:06Where are you going?
00:22:07Good party.
00:22:07Stand.
00:22:08Come here.
00:22:09I want to show you.
00:22:10How the art is created?
00:22:11It's a perfectly wonderful shade.
00:22:13We're going to use it in here and in the hall and every place.
00:22:15We'll make the house with much rock.
00:22:16And the same thing with the curtain.
00:22:18I got the most wonderful board today, a mill in.
00:22:20Look at that.
00:22:22It was up for all the windows and this is for the bedroom.
00:22:24Just waiting for the price.
00:22:25You ought to be very proud of me.
00:22:26I'm staying right within their budget.
00:22:28I'm having a marvellous time.
00:22:30There's only one thing wrong.
00:22:33I haven't done a thing about the nursery.
00:22:35I could cry about it.
00:22:37What's the matter?
00:22:38Herbert's doing it.
00:22:39Dunstan?
00:22:40He was so upset about their not moving in with him.
00:22:43He said the least they could do would be to let him furnish the nursery.
00:22:45He's going to give them a crib and a bassinet and a screen and a chest of drawers.
00:22:48We'll probably all be done in 14-carat gold.
00:22:53What are we going to give the baby?
00:22:55Stan.
00:22:57What are you so surprised about?
00:22:58Did you think I was going to give the baby a present?
00:23:00Well, as a matter of fact, there was something I was looking at today that would make a wonderful present.
00:23:03You put it right in this window and it keeps the air clean in the right temperature.
00:23:07It's very pretty and modern looking.
00:23:08It's quite expensive.
00:23:09What's the name of it?
00:23:10I don't know the name of it, but it will only extend this far into the room.
00:23:14Downtown.
00:23:15You see, you regulate it from here.
00:23:18Controls the air and the temperature at all times.
00:23:21No dust, no soot, no pollen.
00:23:24Wonderful.
00:23:24Ellie's idea.
00:23:25I wish we'd had one for Tommy.
00:23:26He probably wouldn't have those adenoids.
00:23:28It's wonderful.
00:23:29And look, over here.
00:23:30Well, I want to show you this.
00:23:32Now, you see?
00:23:33You turn it on and leave it here beside his crib.
00:23:36And then you can go out and close the door.
00:23:38And if he cries or even if there's any change in his breathing, you can hear it from anywhere in the house.
00:23:43No.
00:23:44Well, they're certainly going to love that.
00:23:45And here's his combination bath and dressing table.
00:23:48Right?
00:23:48That's the right size.
00:23:50What is that?
00:23:50What is that?
00:23:51Oh, that's mine.
00:23:52I thought he might as well get used to it.
00:23:53He'll be going there someday.
00:23:54Oh, he will?
00:23:55Oh, yes.
00:23:55As a matter of fact, I've already registered him in the class of 1973.
00:24:00I'm a Dartmouth man myself.
00:24:01Oh, that's a good college, too.
00:24:03Now, this bath stand, I want you to notice the height of it.
00:24:05A good college.
00:24:07A good college.
00:24:10We beat you in football in 1947, 1948, and 1949.
00:24:16And we shall probably...
00:24:17And we have defeated you five years running in hockey.
00:24:21And our bobsled team is probably the finest that has ever been developed in the history of the world.
00:24:25And he's made some fresh coffee.
00:24:27A good...
00:24:28That's one of the funniest remarks you've ever made.
00:24:30Now, now, wait a minute.
00:24:32Oh, now, now, listen here.
00:24:33And you know, it's a lot of...
00:24:35Yes, but...
00:24:35Well, what do you think of our little nursery?
00:24:39Isn't it lovely?
00:24:40Fine, fine.
00:24:40The wonderful thing is, most of it can grow up with him.
00:24:43The shelves, for instance.
00:24:45It'll hold his toys now, but later he can use it for his tennis racket.
00:24:49Well, he was right.
00:24:51They had taken over the baby lock, stock, and barrel.
00:24:53Let me see.
00:24:54Oh, thank you, dear.
00:24:58Isn't that a beautiful record, Pop?
00:24:59Mm-hmm.
00:25:00Mother Durston gave it to me.
00:25:02She gave me the whole album.
00:25:03I remember that I used to listen to classical music while I was waiting for Buckley.
00:25:07I think that's why he whistles so well.
00:25:10Have you ever heard him whistle?
00:25:11No, no, I haven't.
00:25:14Well, you should ask him sometime.
00:25:16Yes, I will.
00:25:17I certainly will.
00:25:19By the way, son, what are you going to call this baby of yours?
00:25:21We've had some terrible arguments about him, we've got him.
00:25:23We've gone through all the telephone books, the dictionaries, the baby books.
00:25:27Finally, we found a couple of names we both like.
00:25:29Come on, sit down.
00:25:30Sit down.
00:25:32If it's a boy, we thought we might call him Andrew.
00:25:34Andrew?
00:25:35Who's Andrew?
00:25:36Well, there's Andrew Jackson and Andrew Nordell, my guy.
00:25:39And besides, we like the name Andrew.
00:25:42And we both like the name Jonathan.
00:25:44Oh, no, not Jonathan.
00:25:45Better call him plain Jonathan.
00:25:47Well, we also thought we might call him Michael.
00:25:50That's a good name.
00:25:51Well, you cannot call him Michael.
00:25:52I went to school with him, Michael, and he smelled.
00:25:55Well, now, Ellie, just because you're Michael's smelt, you know,
00:25:58it doesn't mean that all Michaels have to smell.
00:26:01You know a name that I've loved ever since I first read little women?
00:26:05Lauren, Laurie, remember how dear he was.
00:26:08How about Timothy?
00:26:09I think that has everything.
00:26:10Do you like the name of Timothy, Kay?
00:26:12Well, I...
00:26:13Now, Ellie, they've already told you.
00:26:14They've been all through this.
00:26:16Why do we suggest any more names?
00:26:19Besides, the names they have are wonderful.
00:26:21Jonathan, Michael, Andrew, they're all wonderful names.
00:26:24But you have to think of two names that go together.
00:26:28Andrew, Dunstan.
00:26:29That doesn't sound very good.
00:26:32Stanley, they haven't made up their minds.
00:26:34They need our help.
00:26:34If I may interrupt, I think you're going about this all wrong.
00:26:38My idea would be to use a family name.
00:26:40That's right.
00:26:41The first grandson is always supposed to have the name of the paternal grandfather, isn't he?
00:26:46No, no, no, no, Doris.
00:26:47That's not what I meant.
00:26:48I was thinking of my great-grandfather, Malcolm.
00:26:51Or, well, say, Uncle Wilford.
00:26:53Well, if we're talking about family names, what about Stanley?
00:26:56Stanley, Dunstan, that ought to satisfy everybody.
00:26:59Well, we did think about that.
00:27:00No, no, no, no.
00:27:03Now, one Stanley in the family is enough.
00:27:06You're right.
00:27:06Now, how about Cornelius?
00:27:07That's a family name.
00:27:09And then let's see.
00:27:09There's Gregory and Dexter and David.
00:27:12Oh, I had some wonderful names in my family, too.
00:27:16Milo and Pennington.
00:27:18Pennington.
00:27:18Now, that's a nice...
00:27:20That'd be a nice name.
00:27:21Penning.
00:27:22We're all talking about boys' names.
00:27:25What if it's a girl?
00:27:25We've got to decide on a girl's name.
00:27:27Oh, it won't be a girl.
00:27:28Don't worry.
00:27:29The Dunsons always run to boys.
00:27:30I'm not worried.
00:27:31I wanted to be a girl.
00:27:32I like girls.
00:27:34Where are you going, darling?
00:27:35I thought I'd wash the dishes.
00:27:37Oh, nothing of the sort.
00:27:38I'll give them.
00:27:38Mother, please, let me go.
00:27:40You do too much care.
00:27:41You must rest more.
00:27:43Oh, I don't agree with you.
00:27:44I think some work is good for her.
00:27:45I think she should have a maid.
00:27:46I'd be perfectly willing to pick...
00:27:47I don't mean she should work if she's tired.
00:27:49It's this young doctor of hers.
00:27:51I've always said she should have gone to our family.
00:27:53We wanted her to go to our doctor.
00:27:55There's nothing the matter with my doctor.
00:27:57He's fine.
00:27:57He's wondering.
00:27:58He told me not to pay any attention to this.
00:28:01Nobody seems to realize this is my baby.
00:28:03Mine and Buckley.
00:28:05You seem to think...
00:28:06Well, the way you talk...
00:28:08Well, I'll have you know this.
00:28:09I'm going to have my baby the way I want to.
00:28:11Mother.
00:28:17Well, now that we've succeeded in reducing her to hysterics,
00:28:30what do you say we'd get out of here and go home?
00:28:32She's just high strong.
00:28:33What are your things?
00:28:34I'll get them.
00:28:36Come here.
00:28:37Oh, thanks.
00:28:47Huh?
00:28:48We're going to run along, kitten.
00:28:50Please come in, Pops.
00:28:52Quick.
00:28:52I'll take it.
00:28:57Pops, I was horrible.
00:28:59I was terrible.
00:29:01They'll never forgive me.
00:29:02No, no, no.
00:29:03We deserve much worse than that.
00:29:06It wasn't you.
00:29:07You never interfere.
00:29:09But the others.
00:29:10Mother and Father Dustin and Mom.
00:29:14I'm doing too much.
00:29:15I'm doing too little.
00:29:16She wants a girl.
00:29:17They want a boy.
00:29:18No matter what the baby is,
00:29:20somebody's going to be disappointed.
00:29:21Yeah, I think what you'll have to do is have,
00:29:23you know, twins.
00:29:24One of each sex.
00:29:26Thank you, Evans, for you, Pops.
00:29:28You're the only one with any sin.
00:29:30Oh, no, no.
00:29:31I'm just as bad as the rest of them,
00:29:32but I'll tell you this.
00:29:33There's going to be no more of it.
00:29:34It'll never happen again.
00:29:36We'll never gang up on you again, believe me.
00:29:39Thanks, Mom.
00:29:39You relax, kitten.
00:29:40Now, from now on, it's going to be your way.
00:29:42And you won't let them make a fuck with Dr. Nordell, will you?
00:29:46What do you mean, dear?
00:29:47Well, the Donson said they were going down to have a talk with him.
00:29:51Oh, Pops, you won't let them do that, will you?
00:29:52Oh, of course I won't.
00:29:54What nonsense.
00:29:55You're a doctor.
00:29:56You have confidence in him, faith in him.
00:29:58No one has a right to destroy that confidence.
00:30:00Thanks, Pops.
00:30:02It isn't their fault, really.
00:30:04It's just that, well, I guess they just don't understand a new way of looking.
00:30:08Well, as Dr. Nordell says, birth is a perfectly natural thing.
00:30:13A glorious thing.
00:30:15And we want you to be conscious every minute so they don't miss a second of it.
00:30:19He believes that a woman should be aware of the wonderful thing that's happening to her.
00:30:23And another thing.
00:30:25He doesn't believe that a woman should be separated from her baby for one second after it's born.
00:30:29You should carry it with you right back to your room and keep it there with you.
00:30:35That?
00:30:35Sleeping right there with you in your hospital room.
00:30:38That is a little new, isn't it?
00:30:40Oh, Pops, that's not new.
00:30:42Primitive woman has always done it.
00:30:44Dr. Nordell was in the Pacific and he said the women that was, why, they were never separated from their babies.
00:30:50They kept them slung on their backs for the first two years of their lives.
00:30:54And he said it was wonderful for the babies.
00:30:56He said if he had his wife, all of his mothers would do that.
00:30:59He said you'd carry them on your back while you were doing your housework.
00:31:03And when it got hungry, you'd swing it around and feed it and then swing it back again.
00:31:09He says he gives the baby a wonderful feeling of security.
00:31:15Darling, you're, you're, you know, you're sure that this doctor...
00:31:18Oh, Pops, you're not going to start that too.
00:31:20No, no, oh, no, no, no, no, no.
00:31:23Dr. Nordell is wonderful.
00:31:26He's marvelous.
00:31:27He's, well, he's simply terribly wonderful.
00:31:29Oh, I'm, darling, I'm sure he is.
00:31:31I'm sure he is.
00:31:34Oh, thank you, Pops.
00:31:35I'm sure.
00:31:35Now, you, you just go to sleep and relax.
00:31:38Okay.
00:31:39Yeah.
00:31:39Good night, Pops.
00:31:40Good night, darling.
00:31:41Good night.
00:31:41Dr. Nordell, we'll be with you in a minute.
00:31:57Please proceed.
00:32:03I just don't like the idea.
00:32:05I thought we said last night, the Dunstons and all of us, that we weren't going to interfere
00:32:08anymore in their affairs.
00:32:11I'm not going to have my daughter walking around for two years with a papoose on her
00:32:14back.
00:32:14Darling, I tell you, that's figurative.
00:32:16He didn't mean that literally.
00:32:17Just want to be sure.
00:32:26Good morning.
00:32:27Good morning.
00:32:27Good morning.
00:32:28I am so glad you came.
00:32:30Now I've met the whole family.
00:32:32Mr. and Mrs. Dunstons Sr. were in this morning.
00:32:34They were?
00:32:35They were a little anxious.
00:32:36Thought Kay was doing too much.
00:32:38But I think I convinced them that she was all right.
00:32:40That's a wonderful daughter you have.
00:32:43Oh, excuse me.
00:32:45Won't you, Mrs. Banks?
00:32:50So, what can I do for you?
00:32:53Well, as a matter of fact, my wife has been a little worried, too.
00:32:57And, uh, you know how mothers are at this time, only daughter and all that sort of thing.
00:33:01I thought the best thing to do would be to bring her down here and let her have a talk
00:33:04with you.
00:33:05I think that's very sensible.
00:33:07What particularly worries you, Mrs. Banks?
00:33:09Well, actually, I...
00:33:11Well, actually, it's the whole thing, isn't it?
00:33:14Uh, I mean, uh, about it all being so natural and everything.
00:33:19I'm just trying to take away any fear she might have.
00:33:22You know, the fear of pain can really produce pain.
00:33:24But, if she understands the whole process, if she has confidence in me, if she knows
00:33:31that I'm going to be right there with her to help her when she wants help, if she trusts
00:33:35me, that's half the battle, isn't it?
00:33:38Yes, it is.
00:33:39And then, after, having the baby in the room with her, I'm trying to persuade my mothers
00:33:44to go back to caring for their babies themselves, feeding them themselves, babying them, being
00:33:50close to them, instead of handing them over to some nurse.
00:33:53I know that this is a lot to ask of your daughter.
00:33:56It's a full-time job.
00:33:58But, believe me, the rewards will be great.
00:34:01Not only for the baby, but for the pain.
00:34:04There you are, Allie, I told you.
00:34:06All of you worry for nothing.
00:34:07It's a...
00:34:08Thank you, Doctor.
00:34:09You were nice to give her so much of your time.
00:34:11It's to my advantage.
00:34:13If I have you with me, then believe me, everything's going to be that much easier.
00:34:16Well, you certainly have us with you.
00:34:17Well, thank you very much, Doctor.
00:34:18Every doctor I've sent you, you can count on that.
00:34:20Very happy you've seen you.
00:34:21Come on now, Allie.
00:34:22Thank you, Doctor.
00:34:23Goodbye.
00:34:25For the next month or two, everything was peaceful.
00:34:27Too peaceful.
00:34:28I should have known it was the calm before a storm.
00:34:36Allie.
00:34:37That's...
00:34:37Telephone, Allie.
00:34:45Hello?
00:34:47Hello?
00:34:49Buckley?
00:34:50What?
00:34:52Buckley.
00:34:52You know what time it is?
00:34:54It's a quarter of three.
00:34:56I'm sorry.
00:34:57I didn't realize.
00:34:59Is Kay there?
00:35:00Kay?
00:35:01Why, of course she isn't here.
00:35:03What would she...
00:35:06Hello?
00:35:06Hello.
00:35:09Buckley.
00:35:10I'll take this downstairs.
00:35:12Hang on.
00:35:12Hey.
00:35:13Hey.
00:35:13Hey.
00:35:13Hey.
00:35:13Hey.
00:35:13Hey.
00:35:13Hey.
00:35:13Hey.
00:35:13Hey.
00:35:13Hey.
00:35:13Hey.
00:35:13Hey.
00:35:14Hey.
00:35:14Hey.
00:35:14Hey.
00:35:14Hey.
00:35:15Hey.
00:35:15Hey.
00:35:15Hey.
00:35:16Hey.
00:35:16Hey.
00:35:17Hey.
00:35:18Hey.
00:35:18Hey.
00:35:18Hey.
00:35:19Hey.
00:35:20Hey.
00:35:20Hey.
00:35:21Hey.
00:35:22Hey.
00:35:24Hey.
00:35:33Hey.
00:35:34Hello.
00:35:35Now.
00:35:36What do you mean, is she here?
00:35:38I thought if she were there, I could come and pick her up if she were there.
00:35:42Well, when did she leave?
00:35:44What time did she leave?
00:35:45Well, I don't know.
00:35:46Oh, I've been out for a few hours.
00:35:47I'd just come back a little while ago.
00:35:50What was it, a fight?
00:35:53Did you have a fight?
00:35:55Well, we'd had an argument, yes.
00:35:58Look, if anything happens to her, I'll kill myself.
00:36:00Don't worry, I'll do it for you.
00:36:03Did you look around?
00:36:04Did she take anything with her, a bag or anything?
00:36:06She took her hat box and her umbrella and her toilet case and her toothbrush and her...
00:36:10Oh, well, don't worry about it, then.
00:36:12If she took a toothbrush, she's not headed for the river.
00:36:15Did you call up anybody to try anybody else on the phone?
00:36:19Well, you might do that.
00:36:20All right, I'll be right over.
00:36:34Any work?
00:36:35No.
00:36:36Did you call her friends?
00:36:37Everyone I could think of.
00:36:38The hotels?
00:36:40I can't wait any longer.
00:36:41I'm going to call the police.
00:36:42No, no, no, wait a minute.
00:36:43Don't do that yet.
00:36:44Maybe we can figure this thing out.
00:36:46Did she take the car?
00:36:47No.
00:36:48Is there a bus runs by at this hour?
00:36:50Anybody to think of might have picked her up?
00:36:52I've covered the field.
00:36:53Well, then it must be a cab.
00:36:54What's the number?
00:36:55Fairview 6...
00:36:56Fairview 6-1098.
00:36:58But there's no use asking them.
00:37:00They told me they don't give out that information except to the police.
00:37:02Fairview 6-1098.
00:37:04They said they had to make it a blanket rule.
00:37:05There are too many wives wanting to leave their husbands.
00:37:09Do you have much cash?
00:37:10I don't believe so.
00:37:11I give her money, but she keeps losing it.
00:37:15Is this the first time she's left you?
00:37:17What do you mean by that?
00:37:18Oh, come, come, come.
00:37:19My boy, I'm married too.
00:37:20Now, has she ever done anything like this before?
00:37:23No.
00:37:24She locked me out a few times, but that's all.
00:37:27Hello?
00:37:28Hello.
00:37:28The Green Cab Company?
00:37:30Uh, now I know this is against your rules, but I certainly would appreciate it if you could
00:37:34help me out.
00:37:34Uh, did you get a call last night from 324 Adams Street?
00:37:39Look, I told you once, it's against rules.
00:37:42Well, uh, you see, I'm, I'm not her husband.
00:37:44You see, I'm her father.
00:37:45And, uh, she's, uh, well, she's, uh, she's expecting, uh, you know, and, uh, you know how
00:37:53they are in that condition sometimes, uh, if you could find it in your heart to help
00:37:58me, I certainly would appreciate it.
00:38:01Well?
00:38:02Well, there was a call.
00:38:06Where did you take her?
00:38:09Thanks.
00:38:09Thanks very, very much.
00:38:11We won't forget this.
00:38:13Where'd she go?
00:38:14Home.
00:38:15Home?
00:38:15Home?
00:38:16What do you mean, home?
00:38:17This is her home.
00:38:18Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
00:38:18I mean my home.
00:38:19Come on.
00:38:20I'll wait here.
00:38:22You want her to come back, or don't you?
00:38:25Yes.
00:38:26Well, then you'll have to go and get her.
00:38:28That's the first law of marriage.
00:38:30You can't expect any self-respecting wife to come home under her own power.
00:38:34I don't suppose you want to tell me what the quarrel was about.
00:38:49If you don't mind, I'd rather not talk about it.
00:38:51Okay.
00:38:55I don't know whether you know it, but your daughter's got a terrible temper.
00:38:59I'm sorry.
00:39:00And this business tonight, why, it's like a child.
00:39:03And a spoiled child at that.
00:39:05She's got to grow up.
00:39:06She's got to be made to realize that she can't go running home to you every time there's something
00:39:09that she doesn't like.
00:39:13Well, what do you want me to do, pack up and move?
00:39:16Well, what do you want me to do?
00:39:46Hi, Paz.
00:40:11Hi.
00:40:12Hi.
00:40:12I forgot your key, I suppose.
00:40:22Why didn't you ring?
00:40:24Oh, I...
00:40:26I didn't want to wake up you and Mom.
00:40:30I'm all right.
00:40:32The doctor told me to sleep with plenty of fresh air.
00:40:35Well, you certainly had your share for the night, I guess.
00:40:37Come on.
00:40:38First, I...
00:40:39I want you to know this, Pox.
00:40:41I've left Buckley.
00:40:43Left him for good.
00:40:46I wish you'd tell Mom's for me.
00:40:48Ask her not to fuss.
00:40:50No use.
00:40:53It's over for good and all.
00:40:57I'd rather not have to talk about it.
00:41:00All right, Kitten, it'll be however you want it, you know.
00:41:03Come on, I'll have your room ready for you, Nijic.
00:41:07Oh, Pox.
00:41:08Why did it have to end like this?
00:41:12Everything was so wonderful at first.
00:41:14I felt fine.
00:41:15Everybody was so sweet to me.
00:41:19It takes too long, that's all.
00:41:22Drags out too long.
00:41:23I'm ugly now.
00:41:27I'm clumsy.
00:41:29Oh, darling.
00:41:30Darling, don't say that.
00:41:32Don't you know that you have a beauty now that you never had before?
00:41:35I know what I look like.
00:41:38I'm so stupid.
00:41:41I can't do any of the things I used to do.
00:41:44Now, when I need him most, I've lost him.
00:41:49He doesn't love me anymore.
00:41:51Oh, Kitten, you mustn't think things like that.
00:41:53He loves you more than ever.
00:41:54He's fighting with worry.
00:41:56Well, he just said to me, if anything happened to you, he'd kill himself.
00:42:01What do you mean?
00:42:03Did he call you?
00:42:04He's right out there now.
00:42:08I suppose he told you everything.
00:42:13He didn't tell me anything.
00:42:14He said you had an argument.
00:42:16An argument?
00:42:19That's wonderful.
00:42:22Do you know what it really is?
00:42:24There's someone else, Pop.
00:42:27He's found someone else.
00:42:29He goes off and leaves me every night and tells me he goes to the office.
00:42:32But it isn't true.
00:42:35I've called the office and he isn't there.
00:42:40He's in love with someone else.
00:42:46Oh, don't.
00:42:47Don't.
00:42:48Don't.
00:42:48Please.
00:42:51We'll talk about it tomorrow.
00:42:53You've got to get your rest now.
00:42:56I'll send him away.
00:42:58I'll send him away.
00:43:02She's here.
00:43:06She's been asleep.
00:43:07I wouldn't try to talk to her if I were you in the mood she's in now.
00:43:11Did she say why we had a fight?
00:43:13Yes.
00:43:15Well, look, I'd like to say something.
00:43:18Just for the record.
00:43:19It's not true.
00:43:20Not a word of it.
00:43:21I've been working every night.
00:43:24After all, he's going to have a baby.
00:43:27You know, I want to give him.
00:43:32She said that she phoned me twice there.
00:43:33Nobody answered.
00:43:35Believe me, it must have been just a few minutes I stepped out for a cup of coffee.
00:43:38I told her this again and again.
00:43:41She won't believe me.
00:43:42Well, you ought to have more sense than to argue with her at a time like this.
00:43:45You know she isn't herself.
00:43:47Well, I'm not myself either.
00:43:49Look, I even thought of having a man call Kay and tell her.
00:43:55And I said to myself, if she doesn't believe me,
00:43:58if she doesn't believe me that I'm working like crazy night after night for her and the baby,
00:44:03if she doesn't take my word for it, then it doesn't matter.
00:44:06It's finished anyway.
00:44:07It's off.
00:44:07It's finished.
00:44:08Now, wait a minute.
00:44:08Oh, wait a minute.
00:44:09We'll all talk about this in the morning.
00:44:11We'll have had some sleep.
00:44:12As far as I'm concerned, there's nothing more to say.
00:44:16I use your phone.
00:44:17I'd like to call a cab.
00:44:18I'll drive you home just as soon as I get Kay settled.
00:44:21Thanks.
00:44:21I'd rather take a cab.
00:44:23Suit yourself.
00:44:30He's calling a cab.
00:44:34I suppose he denied everything.
00:44:37He told me his side of it.
00:44:39Well, you don't believe him, do you?
00:44:41Darling, I only know that he really loves you.
00:44:44Oh, that isn't true.
00:44:45He doesn't love me.
00:44:47He doesn't care whether I live or die.
00:44:50Oh, I never should have married him.
00:44:52A little late to think about that.
00:44:55Come on, now.
00:44:56You really must get your sleep, darling.
00:44:57Come on.
00:44:58Come on, now.
00:44:58I'm going to get...
00:44:59Forgive me for interrupting.
00:45:01Your phone is out of order.
00:45:04That's ridiculous.
00:45:05Come on.
00:45:07Come on.
00:45:22Hello.
00:45:23Hello, operator.
00:45:25You're taking home, Pop?
00:45:26I can take care of myself.
00:45:28Operator.
00:45:29Up.
00:45:29You're not supposed to carry things.
00:45:33You know that.
00:45:34I'll take a look.
00:45:35We don't need your help.
00:45:36Do we, Father?
00:45:37No.
00:45:38No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:45:39Here, I'll get one.
00:45:40You don't have a room for her down here.
00:45:41Some place you could fix up as a bedroom.
00:45:43There's a couch in the living room.
00:45:44She wants to try that.
00:45:45Find it a little hard.
00:45:46You know you're not supposed to walk up and down stairs.
00:45:48Another thing.
00:45:49She's supposed to drink eight glasses of water a day.
00:45:51She forgets.
00:45:52So if you could remind her.
00:45:53I'll try.
00:45:54And her exercise.
00:45:55Dr. Nodell wants her to walk two to three hours each day.
00:45:58Now in the morning and now in the afternoon.
00:46:00And we usually take a walk in the evening.
00:46:02And she's supposed to be in bed at 9.30.
00:46:03I'll try and remember all that.
00:46:04And the calcium pills.
00:46:05Did you bring your pills?
00:46:06No, I forgot.
00:46:07I'll go home and get them.
00:46:08What do I do in the morning?
00:46:09I'll give them to your father when he takes me home.
00:46:11Down in your shoes.
00:46:12It really, but you don't...
00:46:13You know you can't do them yourself.
00:46:16Oh, Buckley.
00:46:31Buckley, what's happening to her?
00:46:35Haven't you heard?
00:46:37What I think, babe?
00:46:46What I think, babe...
00:47:04What's happening to her room...
00:47:05Ah!
00:47:09Today, babe...
00:47:09THE END
00:47:39Stanley, time to get up.
00:48:06Wake up, sleepyhead.
00:48:09As the days went on and nothing happened, the tension mounted.
00:48:25Buckley watched Kay as if you were a time bomb.
00:48:29That's her book.
00:48:30What is it, Kay? What's the matter?
00:48:45Oh, I reneged.
00:48:48I had a heart in my hand all the time.
00:48:51I don't know what I must be thinking about.
00:48:53As November came and the great event drew nearer and nearer, we all waited with bated breath.
00:49:03Is that the phone?
00:49:04No, dear.
00:49:11Well, I guess it'll get a little air.
00:49:12Sure.
00:49:18Stanley.
00:49:19Hey.
00:49:21As long as you're going, would you give this to Kay?
00:49:23Kay?
00:49:24Who said anything about Kay?
00:49:28I never could fool Ellie.
00:49:31But I hoped I could fool Kay.
00:49:33Stanley.
00:49:42Hello, hello, hello.
00:49:43How are you?
00:49:44Hi.
00:49:45Is this a beautiful night?
00:49:46See those stars?
00:49:48Mom sent me over with this.
00:49:50Oh, no.
00:49:52Go on, go on.
00:49:53Open it up.
00:49:53Open it up.
00:49:54Don't mind us men.
00:49:58Let me take your coat.
00:49:59Oh, I can do it.
00:50:00I can do it.
00:50:00Well, at least let me help you.
00:50:08I'm glad you came by tonight.
00:50:10She's awfully low.
00:50:11Oh, no, no, no.
00:50:13She's just nervous.
00:50:14We should talk to her.
00:50:16Oh, it's lovely.
00:50:17What is it?
00:50:18It's a beautiful bed, Jeff.
00:50:20Isn't that pretty?
00:50:23Oh, you certainly are going to knock their eyes out of the hospital.
00:50:29I'll go pack it right now.
00:50:32Kay, Kay, now that your father's here, you won't mind.
00:50:35I'd like to get some cigarettes.
00:50:36You don't have to run right along, do you?
00:50:37Oh, no, I can just squeeze out a couple of minutes, I guess.
00:50:39I will be long.
00:50:42Hold everything till I get back.
00:50:47You look wonderful, kitten.
00:50:49Oh, I feel fine.
00:50:50It's just bubbly.
00:50:52I wish you'd talk to him.
00:50:53I mean, he's so jittery.
00:51:06What's he jittery about?
00:51:08Oh, he's afraid that something will go wrong.
00:51:13Oh, you shouldn't feel like that.
00:51:19Of course, I can't tell him that it's going to be easy for you.
00:51:24It may not be.
00:51:25But I do know this, that when the time comes,
00:51:28you mothers seem to have a courage and a strength you never knew you had.
00:51:34I hope so.
00:51:37I hope so.
00:51:38As far as anything going wrong,
00:51:41doctors and scientists have been working for hundreds of years now
00:51:44so that you and your baby can be safe.
00:51:46Nothing's going to go wrong.
00:51:47You know that, don't you?
00:51:49I know.
00:51:52Oh, Pop.
00:51:54I wish it was over.
00:51:57But it will be soon, darling.
00:52:00And I'm sure that when you hold your baby in your arms,
00:52:04you'll think it was worth anything you went through.
00:52:05Hi there, Silly.
00:52:10It's like the first day you took me to the dentist.
00:52:16Every night we put our clothes where we could grab them in a hurry.
00:52:20We were like members of a fire brigade,
00:52:22ready to jump at the first alarm.
00:52:25Well, that happened almost any time now, huh?
00:52:28I suppose so.
00:52:29Sometime come the next two or three weeks.
00:52:31Two or three weeks?
00:52:32I couldn't live like this another two or three weeks.
00:52:35Hello?
00:52:41Sorry to wake you, but I just brought Cade to the hospital.
00:52:45Now, I don't know anything yet.
00:52:46The doctor's with her now.
00:52:48Certainly, you can't do that.
00:52:59You've got to really grab.
00:53:00There's no telling how long we'll be down there.
00:53:02Do you remember to put the razor in your pocket?
00:53:04The razor?
00:53:05Yes, your electric razor.
00:53:06Then it doesn't matter where you have to go to shave.
00:53:08And your clean shirt.
00:53:10Wait, Tommy, please.
00:53:12I guess you'd better wire Ben.
00:53:14Now, you can phone them at the desk.
00:53:16I must remember the town of Wilde.
00:53:19I'll take breakfast in case the baby's going by then.
00:53:21Yes, please, hurry.
00:53:22What kept you?
00:53:41Well, I'll just get dressed.
00:53:42I'll have to get my clothes out of it.
00:53:43I'll drive.
00:53:44Oh, no, no, no.
00:53:45Come on.
00:53:45We don't hurry.
00:53:46The baby will be born before we get there.
00:53:47Come on.
00:53:48The baby will be born, and we'll never get there.
00:53:50If you go.
00:54:03Don't go so fast, Ellie.
00:54:04We're in a business district.
00:54:11Ellie, Ben, slow down a little bit.
00:54:14Ellie, for heaven's sake.
00:54:20I had the right of way.
00:54:21Keep your eye on the road.
00:54:22Your tie's on crooked.
00:54:23Thanks.
00:54:30Ellie, that's a lead.
00:54:34Come on, now, Ellie.
00:54:35Pull over here.
00:54:35Let me drive.
00:54:36Come on.
00:54:36Stanley, be careful.
00:54:39No, no, no, Ellie.
00:54:40You can't make it.
00:54:40There's a drink.
00:54:41Will you relax?
00:54:42You're making me nervous.
00:54:43You realize what you've done?
00:54:50You've broken every regulation in the book.
00:54:52You've passed everything on the wrong side.
00:54:54You've gone through red lights.
00:54:55You've exceeded the speed limit.
00:54:56I know, but this is an emergency.
00:54:58For the first time in my life,
00:55:00I longed for the sight of a motorcycle cop.
00:55:10Park it, will you, Stanley?
00:55:11Park it, will you.
00:55:30What's the matter?
00:55:31What happened?
00:55:32What?
00:55:32nothing happened it it was a false alarm I'm sorry we brought you all this way

00:57:59I wondered if they were crazy, or was I?
00:58:18He looked as old as Methuselah to me.
00:58:20All he needed was a derby thing.
00:58:27Oh, boy.
00:58:28We'll be seeing you soon.
00:58:31What do you think he's like?
00:58:34He looks exactly like Kay.
00:58:36Like Kay?
00:58:36Oh, I think you're wrong there, Abby.
00:58:38He's a nuncum through and through.
00:58:39Who are you, boy?
00:58:40Ed, call him, son, him.
00:58:42I believe they're talking about calling him Herbert.
00:58:44Oh, I believe they are.
00:58:46Oh, Herbert, isn't that wonderful?
00:58:49Oh, I hope you don't mind.
00:58:50I mean, since you're the maternal grandfather, I would be like him.
00:58:52Oh, no, I should say I know.
00:58:55As a matter of fact, I think Herbert is just the name for it.
00:58:57Oh, I admit he looked a little better by the time Kay got him home.
00:59:04Perfect.
00:59:04Good.
00:59:05Look at him.
00:59:06Did you ever see anything so good?
00:59:08Tudum's had a picture taken.
00:59:10What is he going to be, Kristen?
00:59:13In five or six months, we want to wait for Reverend Goldsworthy.
00:59:16Come on, Pops.
00:59:17You have your picture taken with the baby.
00:59:18Oh, no, no, no.
00:59:19Oh, we've all had our picture taken.
00:59:20No, no, no.
00:59:20Come on, old man.
00:59:21Oh, please, Pop.
00:59:22Come on.
00:59:23Just do it for me.
00:59:23I want to take you with the two of me again.
00:59:25Yeah, we'll fit him right here.
00:59:26How about that, my boy?
00:59:27Is that all right with you?
00:59:29He's smiling at you.
00:59:30Hurry, Sam.
00:59:31Catch him just like that.
00:59:32There we go.
00:59:36Oh, no, don't give him to me.
00:59:38No, no, you sit down.
00:59:39Now, go on.
00:59:40Smile at you again, Father.
00:59:43See, it's no use.
00:59:45Go on, turn him around.
00:59:46Turn him around so we can see his face.
00:59:47Come on, turn him around.
00:59:49That's it.
00:59:49That's it.
00:59:52Oh, see, it's...
00:59:54Look.
00:59:59Take him, please.
01:00:00Please take him.
01:00:02What did you do to him?
01:00:07What do you mean?
01:00:08I didn't do anything to him.
01:00:10I think he's tired.
01:00:12We really must go.
01:00:13Oh, by the way, Sam, I had this made up for you.
01:00:16It's a photographic record of the baby from the day he was born.
01:00:20Here, look at him here.
01:00:21And then wait, wait.
01:00:23Then take a look at that.
01:00:24And here, here.
01:00:26Isn't it amazing?
01:00:27Why, he changes it every day.
01:00:29Not to me, he doesn't.
01:00:30Coming to the...
01:00:31Here, put it in your pocket.
01:00:33Show the boys, you know.
01:00:35Goodbye, dear.
01:00:36Goodbye, darling.
01:00:37Goodbye, Stanley.
01:00:38Take good care of our Drake, good boy.
01:00:42Come here.
01:00:42Come here, Sam.
01:00:45How about a Drake, a drink?
01:00:48Huh?
01:00:49Yes, dear.
01:00:50Come in.
01:00:51He's quiet.
01:00:51Oh, no, no, no.
01:00:52Oh, no.
01:00:53Now, look.
01:00:53It's no use, you know.
01:00:54Oh, Pop, he didn't have anything to do with you.
01:00:56It's just that...
01:00:57Well, there were so many other people around him.
01:00:59It scared him.
01:01:00Come on.
01:01:07Oh, isn't he?
01:01:08He's going to smile.
01:01:09Oh, come on in.
01:01:12See?
01:01:13Everything's all right now.
01:01:15He's not scared anymore, is he, darling?
01:01:17Now, you've got a nice man here, and you're going to give him a big smile, because you're
01:01:22a good boy.
01:01:24Now, look who's come to see you.
01:01:26Who is that, huh?
01:01:27Well...
01:01:27Who is that?
01:01:29Is that your grandfather?
01:01:30That's it.
01:01:31Look.
01:01:31Oh, honey, you terrible child.
01:01:39Herbert, what happened?
01:01:40Nothing, nothing, nothing.
01:01:42He just took a look at me.
01:01:43That's so funny.
01:01:44He's such a good-tempered baby.
01:01:45The doctor said he'd never seen a baby with such a wonderful disability.
01:01:48Oh, I'm sure.
01:01:49I'm sure.
01:01:49And it isn't because you're a man.
01:01:51He was smiling all over the place at Herbert.
01:01:53Well, now, come on.
01:01:55Let's blow.
01:01:56Let's blow.
01:01:57Pop!
01:01:57We've come to apologize.
01:02:01We want to say that we're very sorry for being so rude.
01:02:03Now, now, now, you tell him you forgive him.
01:02:06Come on now, honey.
01:02:07He's a great big smile.
01:02:08Tell him how much...
01:02:09Oh, it's all right, darling.
01:02:13He's gone now.
01:02:14Oh, it's all right.
01:02:15The man's gone.
01:02:18You know what I can do?
01:02:20Take your tie.
01:02:21If you just take off your tie.
01:02:22No, Ellie, I'm not going to take off my tie.
01:02:24It's a perfectly nice tie, and I happen to like it.
01:02:26It was a present from Tommy, and I'm not going to take it off just because he doesn't like it.
01:02:29Oh, Stanley, the way you talk.
01:02:31He's a baby.
01:02:31An innocent little baby.
01:02:32He doesn't know what it is that disturbs him.
01:02:34He is not an innocent little baby.
01:02:36He's an individual with very definite likes and dislikes.
01:02:39As an individual, I respect his right to have likes and dislikes,
01:02:42but I also reserve the right to have a few of my own.
01:02:46From that time on, I gave him a wide berth.
01:02:50It was live and let live between us until one weekend six months later.
01:02:56Is this the bank's house?
01:03:07Well, yes, but, uh, what?
01:03:09Good evening, Mr. Bank.
01:03:24Hello.
01:03:27Good evening, Mr. Bank.
01:03:29See you tomorrow.
01:03:30The thing I had feared had come to pass.
01:03:43He had invaded the sanctity of my home.
01:03:46Hi, Pop.
01:03:47Hi.
01:03:48Hi, Dave.
01:03:50You have a visitor.
01:03:52Is there art with you, Pop?
01:03:53You don't mind?
01:03:54Oh, no, I'm delighted.
01:03:56Delighted.
01:03:56He's nice, Pop really is.
01:03:57It's just that you two got started off on the wrong foot, that's all.
01:04:01And I thought, well, if I left him here for a couple of days alone with you...
01:04:04Alone?
01:04:05Well, I mean, I won't be here myself.
01:04:07I'm going to Boston.
01:04:08But he has to go there and see Mr. Wellsford, you know, the chain store man.
01:04:12And he asked me to come, and I said I couldn't leave the baby.
01:04:14But Mom said to go ahead and that she'd take care of him.
01:04:17Oh, Pop, I know you're going to love him.
01:04:20Just as soon as you get to know him, he has been a little strange.
01:04:24Oh, there's my taxi.
01:04:25I've got to run.
01:04:26Yeah.
01:04:26And remember this, Pop.
01:04:27If he so much has left out a peep at you, you have my permission to spank him and spank him good.
01:04:31Yeah.
01:04:31Bye.
01:04:32Bye, Mom.
01:04:32Goodbye.
01:04:33Goodbye.
01:04:34Yeah.
01:04:39Danny, is that you?
01:04:43Yes, it's me.
01:04:44The most wonderful thing has happened.
01:04:46I thought you'd never get here.
01:04:48Ah, yes.
01:04:49Kay told me.
01:04:50Oh, come up and see him.
01:04:51Quick, quick.
01:05:03Well, of course, we're not quite organized yet.
01:05:05Well, where is he?
01:05:06I don't want to step on him.
01:05:07In your bureau drawer over there.
01:05:16Well, what is that?
01:05:24Well, that's my dress scar.
01:05:27Well, what are you doing with my dress?
01:05:29What?
01:05:30What?
01:05:31What's going on?
01:05:33I'm...
01:05:34Look in here.
01:05:35What are you doing with my dress?
01:05:38What are you doing?
01:05:38What are you doing?
01:05:39Well, he's eating my scarf.
01:05:41Oh, that's all right.
01:05:42You're as clean as can't hurt him, can't it?
01:05:44March, darling.
01:05:45What?
01:05:45Do you have to be in that particular drawer with all my shirts?
01:05:48I took the shirts out there.
01:05:49Right there.
01:05:50You can put them back now.
01:05:51Well, all of them love skins.
01:05:53Who's your love skins all standing?
01:05:55So wonderful having a baby in my arms again.
01:05:57Who is this sweet boy?
01:05:59Who's this...
01:06:00Look at the shirts.
01:06:01Who's going to sleep in a nice big room?
01:06:03What?
01:06:04You going to sleep in this room?
01:06:05No, he's going to Tommy's room.
01:06:06Where's Tommy going?
01:06:07In the Ben's room.
01:06:08I want him right here so I can hear him if he cries.
01:06:10You know, he's good, but strange house and everything.
01:06:12No mommy or poppy.
01:06:14But he's going to be a good boy, isn't he?
01:06:16Of course he is.
01:06:17I'm sorry I can't go to the Dixon's, but you're going anyway.
01:06:19I phoned Ruth and she's delighted to have an extra man.
01:06:22It's all set.
01:06:22Yeah, well, I'm not going.
01:06:23I'm not standing.
01:06:24No, no, no.
01:06:25I'm not going without you.
01:06:26They're your friends.
01:06:27Oh, that's ridiculous.
01:06:28You can't eat here.
01:06:29There's no food in the house, of course, there's a nice cold lamp.
01:06:32You don't mind waiting on yourself.
01:06:33Where's Delilah?
01:06:34She's making up Kay's room.
01:06:35Who's going to sleep in Kay's room?
01:06:37You are.
01:06:37Now, look, look, look.
01:06:38Stanley, it's the only room in the house where you can't possibly hear the baby,
01:06:41and I promised Kay you wouldn't be disturbed.
01:06:45Everything's ready, Miss Bang.
01:06:46Oh, good.
01:06:47And Delilah, would you mind taking these and sterilizing them?
01:06:49You can use the canning pot.
01:06:51You don't have to tell me.
01:06:52I remember.
01:06:52Mr. Bang, isn't it just wonderful having a baby in the house again?
01:06:55Oh, it's wonderful.
01:06:56Just wonderful.
01:06:56Just wonderful.
01:06:57Great, great.
01:06:58Oh, let's get some food.
01:06:59Oh, let's get some food.
01:07:29Oh, let's get some food.

01:11:05They were nice kids.
01:11:09I was having a good time.
01:11:12Look, come on, two sides.
01:11:31Well, thank you.
01:11:32You want to watch that dribble, get that dribble.
01:11:34It was a good game.
01:11:36I was wondering whether or not to tell Ellie about it.
01:11:39She'd probably think I was crazy playing ball with a lot of kids.
01:11:41Oh, my goodness.
01:11:42Oh, my goodness.
01:11:45Oh, my goodness.
01:11:46Oh, my goodness.
01:11:48Oh, my goodness.
01:11:50Oh, my goodness.
01:11:50What do you think, you're going with it?
01:12:20I suddenly thought maybe Ellie came and got him.
01:12:33I didn't take the train. I flew. I got so homesick with the baby. Where is the baby? Shouldn't he be home by now?
01:12:55Don't you worry. He's with your father, so he's all right. You should see your father.
01:13:11Come in. Hurry up.
01:13:22Hello. Hello. Is anybody here? Anybody here? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello?
01:13:32Officer, have anybody turned in a baby here? I've lost a baby.
01:13:39Is it your baby?
01:13:45Oh, no, no, no, no. It's my daughter's baby. It's my grandson.
01:13:47Where'd you lose him?
01:13:48I lost him in the park. It was in the park in his carriage. I left him for a second. When I came back, he was gone and the carriage was gone.
01:13:54You say you only left him for a second, eh?
01:13:56Well, maybe a minute. I don't know. Five minutes, you know. Some kids were playing soccer. I went to watch him get kind of interested.
01:14:00And you forgot your grandchild. Well, I guess I did for the minute. That's fine. That's wonderful. They give you a child of mine and you run off and forget him.
01:14:08It's not a jack. You're losing your marble. Oh, wait a minute. This kind of talk is... Do you... Did you understand what I said?
01:14:14A baby has been lost. A little baby has... Why don't you do what you're supposed to do? Do something. Get on the television.
01:14:20A teletype or whatever you do. Describe it. The baby's five months, six months old, wearing a little white...
01:14:26Well, you know what babies wear. He's got on a little cap, I think.
01:14:31Would you know what color his eyes are?
01:14:32Well, well, well, blue. I don't know.
01:14:35But you are sure it's a boy.
01:14:38I don't blame you. I don't blame you. You haven't said anything to me I haven't said to myself.
01:14:41My daughter's home now waiting for the baby. I don't know what to do. I'm going crazy. I'll... I'll do anything. Look, I'll... I'll...
01:14:47Big reward. Whatever. Whatever I have to do. If you'll just help me.
01:14:50Well, it just so happens we picked up your baby.
01:14:52Oh, thank God.
01:14:53But it wasn't any five minutes you were gone. It was nearer a half an hour.
01:14:57Yes, sir.
01:14:59What, is he in here?
01:15:00Yeah. Just a minute.
01:15:02What's your daughter's phone number? I'm going to call her up and check her.
01:15:04Oh, no. Don't do that. Don't. Please, please don't do it. Don't do it.
01:15:07You don't know. I couldn't stand it. I couldn't face my daughter.
01:15:10Please. I promise you, I'll do anything if you'll give me the kid. I'll take him right home. I won't stop anywhere. I promise you.
01:15:17Well, I'll talk it over with the boys.
01:15:20They've taken quite a fancy to this kid.
01:15:22If they got any idea you weren't treating him right, you'd never get out of here alive.
01:15:27All right, boys. They've come for him.
01:15:32I dreaded the moment when he'd see me. I knew if he started to cry, I was cooked.
01:15:38I said a little prayer. Don't let him cry. Just this once. Don't let him cry.
01:15:47Come on, son. We're going home.
01:15:51I'm back. Come on.
01:15:55Well!
01:15:58Well, that's my boy. That's my boy.
01:16:04From that time on, I was his pigeon.
01:16:07The day of the baby's christening came at last. He was the center of a little world.
01:16:28His grandparents, his parents, and his godparents, all of us gathered together for the solemn occasion.
01:16:32I couldn't help feeling we were ganging up on him, pinning the name of Herbert on a poor, defenseless child.
01:16:39Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of God.
01:16:45Funny how I had resented the very idea of him, as Kay first told us.
01:16:51I was furious at both of them, making me a grandfather.
01:16:56It seemed to spell the end of my life.
01:16:59Now I couldn't imagine life without him.
01:17:01In the name of our heavenly Father, now and forevermore.
01:17:04All right.
01:17:08We were coming to his big moment. We all watched him with bated breath.
01:17:14How would he behave?
01:17:16When the Reverend Galsworthy took him in his arms, would he be terrified? Would he cry?
01:17:21Not that baby.
01:17:22To him, the Reverend Galsworthy was just another face to be explored.
01:17:37Name this child.
01:17:40Stanley Banks.
01:17:42Stanley Banks.
01:17:56Stanley Banks.
01:17:58I baptize thee in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.
01:18:07Amen.
01:18:09We receive this child in the congregation of Christ's flock, and to sign him with the sign of...
01:18:16Stanley Banks.
01:18:18My grandchild.
01:18:20My first grandchild.
