New York dans les années 1880. Monsieur Day, un courtier heureux en affaires, aimerait diriger sa vie quotidienne avec la même rigueur qu'il emploie à faire fructifier ses investissements. Dans la famille Day, malgré l'air sévère de monsieur, c'est madame qui dirige, et quand elle découvre que son époux n'est pas baptisé, elle s'emploie, avec l'aide de ses enfants, à le faire s'exécuter. Monsieur résiste tout d'abord, puis finit par se laisser convaincre. Il ignore cependant que ses chers enfants ont pris l'habitude d'arrondir leurs fins de mois en revendant des médicaments, une activité qui ne serait pas de son goût s'il venait à la découvrir...

00:30This is Father. Kind, gentle, sweet, soft-spoken.
00:36Don't get it! I won't have it! I won't have it!
00:41I will not have my life arranged for me.
00:45I bought this house for my own comfort. I will not submit myself to this indignity.
00:49Yes, that's Father. He knows everything about everything. Except Mother.
00:55Now that I have this, you needn't buy me any more rings.
00:58Yes? Well, if you don't want any more...
01:02What I'd really like now is a nice diamond necklace.
01:07And here's the rest of the family. Father didn't believe in girls.
01:11Do you know what happened at Dora Wakefield's party for Mary last night?
01:14We were playing musical chairs and some girl sat down suddenly right in my lap.
01:17I jumped up so fast she almost got hurt.
01:19She was sitting on Father's trousers.
01:23Giving me into heaven is your business, Vinnie.
01:37If there's anything wrong with my ticket when I get there, you can fix it up.
01:41Everybody loves you so much, I'm sure God must too.
01:45I'll do my best, Claire.
01:46It wouldn't be heaven without you.
01:50If you're there, Vinnie, I'll manage to get in some way, even if I have to climb the fence.
01:56That's all, thank you.
01:57Sir, before I can let any girl go from this establishment,
02:00I must know the character of the home in which she will be employed.
02:04Madam, I am the character of my home.
02:06I am the character of the home in which she will be employed.
