01:53Now get ready for our strong design
01:56Are you all set?
01:58Now
01:58One
01:59Two
02:00Squirrels adored the name
02:17Admired the fame of Rupert
02:19He's in a class alone
02:21The one and only Rupert
02:23He jumps up
02:25So gracefully
02:27And you ought to see him
02:29Climb a tree
02:31Think of a natural baton mister
02:33That is Rupert
02:34Think of a ballet star
02:36And you're not far from wrong
02:38He taps his little toe
02:40And seals the show
02:42And takes your heart along
02:46Now we've got to do the dancing humor
02:50And it's got to be perfect
02:52For everything depends on how we do it
02:55Now
02:56You're all set
02:57Here we go
02:59Phil
03:20Phil I'm so glad to see you
03:22You're all your best
03:24Well not too good
03:25But everything's going to change now
03:26Here
03:27Sit down
03:28How are you, mister?
03:29Hello, this is Joe Mahoney
03:30He used to work out at my father's office
03:32And the best lion tamer in the business
03:34Weren't you?
03:35Go on with you
03:37Good night, I'm sure
03:38Thank you
03:38Well, what's this new act
03:40That you wired me about?
03:41Well, here it is
03:42Now greet the man, Rupert
03:43You mean
03:50That's it?
03:52That's it
03:53A squirrel
03:54Sure
03:55You wouldn't fool me, would you?
03:57Oh, Phil
03:58He's a great performer
03:59Something like Rupert
04:00Only happens once in a million years
04:02I'm sorry, Joe
04:04But I'm not interested
04:06He's not box office
04:08Come on, honey
04:09We're late
04:10Yeah, but
04:11Phil, you haven't seen what he can do
04:13Well, I've seen enough already
04:15Joe, look
04:16A lion is a big, savage beast
04:19He's vicious, ruthless
04:21A bloodthirsty killer
04:22From the faraway jungles of darkest Africa
04:24So he's box office
04:25But a little pipsqueak thing
04:28Like a squirrel
04:29That anybody can see
04:30Anyplace, in any park
04:31Any time
04:32Is just a
04:33Besides
04:34He's so small
04:35I never see him in the balcony
04:36But Phil, I tell you
04:37Rupert is almost human
04:39Come on, honey
04:39We're late
04:40But just a minute
04:41Look, Joe
04:42I'd love to give you a break
04:44I know things have been tough
04:45But
04:46Well
04:47He just ain't box office
04:49Goodbye, Mr. Dingle
05:13I'll pay every cent that I owe you
05:16You should, Maroney
05:20You should
05:20Hey, Pete
05:29Get a full of sales
05:31Help me clean this place out
05:46That's nice and peaceful here, ain't it?
05:58You can breathe
05:59Now
06:00Now
06:01Take a good look around
06:02Some of your new pals
06:05Now I want you to go on
06:07And get acquainted with it
06:08Come on
06:09That's it
06:11Now don't be stubborn about this
06:15Go on
06:17Oh
06:19Oh
06:19I want to be sure
06:21It's a silly outfit
06:24There you are
06:26I would have laughed at you
06:29There you go
06:32Now go on
06:33Go on, yes
06:33I know you don't want to
06:35Go on
06:35I know you'll be happy here
06:37I know they're going to love you
06:40You'll be the life of the party
06:41Doing the somersaults
06:43And all the cute little tricks
06:44That I thought you
06:45Go on, I tell you
06:48Beat it, I tell you
06:50Beat it, I tell you
06:53What shall I do?
06:59Yes, Jane
07:04Our property
07:05Papa, do you think
07:07We might have some money
07:08In that Chicago account?
07:10Oh, I heard from that bank
07:11Last week
07:11I think I got the letter with me
07:13Yeah, here it is
07:18It says
07:21Dear Mr. Amendola
07:23This is the last monthly statement
07:25We will make
07:25We feel it has hardly worth
07:28Three cents
07:28To tell you
07:29You have two cents
07:30Let's get going
07:33Look at all those
07:34Lucky people
07:35Turning home
07:35With arms full of packages
07:37They'll have
07:38Turkeys for Christmas
07:39Packages under the tree
07:41Don't envy them
07:42Rosalinda
07:43But every one of them
07:44Face the Christmas
07:45Like us at some time
07:46Or another
07:46And besides
07:48It ain't Christmas yet
07:49Who knows
07:49Old Saint Nick
07:50May have a bundle
07:51For us too
07:52But the trouble is
07:53We ain't got no address
07:54He can deliver them to
07:55Amendola
07:57The Amendola
07:58The trio
07:58Joe
07:59Joe Mahoney
08:01Joe, darling
08:02Now, now
08:03Don't tell me
08:03This is a little rosy
08:04Yeah, she's certainly
08:06Growing fast
08:06A little too fast
08:08But it seems like
08:09Only yesterday
08:09I bought of them shoes
08:10Already she's complaining
08:12They're too small
08:13And with you
08:14Amendola
08:15How's the act
08:15Been going
08:16Huh?
08:17Great
08:17Sensational
08:18Why, if I made me more money
08:20I'd have to buy myself
08:21A wallet
08:21And you know something, Joe?
08:24No
08:24We've played the circuit
08:25So many times
08:26Just for a change
08:27We spoke to European, Joe
08:29Europe
08:30London
08:31Paris
08:32Budapest
08:32And in India
08:33We gave a performance
08:35That the audience
08:35They'll never forget
08:37Why?
08:37Because they were elephants
08:39Oh, no
08:41Please
08:42A little respect
08:43For that joke
08:44It's older than you
08:45Sorry, Joe
08:48I see you haven't been doing so good, huh, Joe?
08:52Well
08:52To tell you the truth
08:53Has been a little
08:55You don't have to tell me
08:56It's the same with us
08:58We haven't worked
08:59We cut our second teeth
09:00Joe, do you live around here?
09:03I do
09:04I did
09:05I just moved out
09:06Less than a half hour ago
09:07Oh, is the place rented yet?
09:10I don't think so
09:11How much rent did you pay?
09:13I didn't
09:14But if you've got $32
09:15You can move right in
09:17How long did you live there
09:20Without paying any rent?
09:22Six months
09:22Just what we're looking for
09:24Something out of the high rent district
09:25Joe, it's been good for you
09:27Yes, sir
09:28And then you must drop in
09:29And see us soon, Joe
09:30Yes, yes
09:31Thank you
09:31Hey, wait
09:33Wait for me
09:34You better ask him where it is
09:37We ain't got no time
09:39Oh, Joe
09:41Where is it?
09:45322 and a half Maple Street
09:47Just over there
09:48Come on back
09:49It's this way
09:50Hey, wait for me
09:56Merry Christmas
09:59Merry Christmas
09:59Merry Christmas
10:18Merry Christmas
10:22Come here. Come on. Come here, friend. Come on.
10:42Ah!
10:52Ah, I got it.
10:58Ah!
11:02Ah, I got it.
11:08Ah, I got it.
11:13Ah, I got it.
11:16Oh, hello.
11:28Oh, pardon this unseemly protrusion,
11:31but after reading this sign, I took the liberty of removing it.
11:34I don't think you're going to need it anymore.
11:36You want to rent this place?
11:37Well, we might work something out
11:39if you don't drag lawyers into this.
11:42Well, you better speak to my father about it.
11:43He's right next door.
11:44Oh.
11:47Oh, I'm, uh, second thought.
11:50I can handle this myself.
11:53Come in.
11:54Be back in a minute.
12:13Gosh, it's good to be home.
12:15Oh, my name is Amendola.
12:17My name is Pete Dingle.
12:21Roger Linda.
12:23Joe Mahoney sent us.
12:24Oh?
12:25Well, that's okay with me, but, uh, don't mention it to my father.
12:30Uh, the rent will be $32 a month.
12:32Well, uh, I don't mind electric bulbs that are unfrosted,
12:36and, uh, I don't mind beds with springs that fight back,
12:42or window shades that curl up like anchovies,
12:46but there's one thing I can't stand.
12:49Oh, do you mind?
12:51Oh, do you mind?
12:56Not at all.
13:00Perfect.
13:01Well, Mama, you might as well start unpacking.
13:04This ain't exactly the bridal suite at the Waldorf,
13:08but who knows?
13:09If we give this place a good cleaning,
13:11we might find an extra room.
13:13Good cleaning is right.
13:15Look at all those car webs.
13:17Rosie, don't touch those car webs.
13:19They're probably holding a building together.
13:21Well, now that all the business has been taken care of,
13:24I'll...
13:24What you say, Mr. Amendola,
13:25my father, unfortunately, wants his money in advance.
13:28And a lucky man he is, too, your father,
13:30having a son so gifted in the art of music.
13:33Oh, I, uh, just go around.
13:35Cut, cut, cut, I know.
13:37I, too, am a musician,
13:38and modesty compels me to admit that I play a pretty piano,
13:42and, if necessary, I can even play an ugly one.
13:45Well, don't forget, feel free to drop in at any time.
13:49Well, thanks very much.
13:51Now about the rent.
13:53Oh, I think I'm going to like it here.
13:54Well, I hope so.
13:56Now, if, uh, you don't mind, I'd like to change.
13:59Oh, no, not at all.
14:00I mean, uh, well, I'll see you later.
14:11Well, Mama, I did it.
14:14Hey, look, Pa, I forgot his tuba.
14:16He'll be back.
14:17But if he don't,
14:18you can blow on it every night and announce dinner.
14:22You realize what I've done?
14:24No rent in advance and a roof over our heads.
14:29An awful big hole in the skylight.
14:33So what?
14:34If it snows,
14:35we'll be the only ones in town who'll have a white Christmas
14:37inside the house and out.
14:39Hello, Pete.
14:42Hi, Dave.
14:43Say, I think I got a letter for you.
14:45Oh?
14:46No, it's for your old man.
14:47I'll give it from you.
14:48Well, if I don't see you tomorrow,
14:50Merry Christmas.
14:51Uh, yeah, same for you.
14:53Uh.
14:54Did you clean the place?
15:01Clean it?
15:02I rented it.
15:03Good.
15:04You can work if you make up your mind.
15:06Who'd you rent it to?
15:07Uh, their name is Amendola.
15:09There?
15:10Uh-huh.
15:11How many are there?
15:12Oh, just three.
15:13They're awfully nice people.
15:14Well, that's good for a change.
15:16I'll take the money.
15:17Uh, there's a mother and a father and a daughter.
15:22Okay, give me the $32.
15:24And, you know, they didn't even ask for any redecoration
15:27or repairing anything.
15:29You know, that saves us a lot of money, Pa.
15:31Pete, don't tell me you let them stay without paying.
15:33Oh, you're going to get it.
15:35They're awfully nice people.
15:37A mother and a father and a daughter.
15:39Yeah, you said that before.
15:41Look, son, I want that $32 right now.
15:43And if you don't get it, I'll go over and get it myself.
15:45And if I don't get it out, they go.
15:47But, Pa, I gave my word of honor.
15:49We'd wait a couple of days.
15:51You don't want to break your own son's word, do you?
15:53Oh, there he goes again.
15:55Honor, charity, love thy neighbor, everything but money.
15:58Tell me, son, what did money ever do to you
16:00that you hated so much?
16:03I'll get it.
16:08Oh, hello.
16:09Hello.
16:10You forgot to give me the key.
16:12The key?
16:13Oh, yes, yes, the key.
16:15Here it is.
16:17Hey, wait a minute.
16:18You're, uh, you're going to stay, aren't you?
16:21Well, if my father...
16:22Who is it, Pete?
16:25Look, uh, don't go away.
16:26I'll be right back.
16:30Who was it?
16:31Oh, the, uh, the postman.
16:33Uh, it's for you.
16:37National Security Bank.
16:38Now, what are those chiseled ones?
16:39What is it?
16:49Oh, it just doesn't have a type of spoon.
16:56Katie.
16:57Katie, Katie, come in.
16:58Come in.
16:59Frank, what is this?
17:00Katie, that what was gold mine I invested in ten years ago was paying home.
17:03Oh, no.
17:04Look, here's a check for $1,500, and they say we're going to get the same amount each
17:08week from now on.
17:09Oh, mercy.
17:10It's a day before Christmas, too, Frank.
17:12It's money from heaven.
17:13Yeah.
17:14We should go to church and pray.
17:15Oh, yeah.
17:16Sure, sure.
17:17But first, I'll go down to the bank and cash the check.
17:19I, I know that apartment isn't what you folks have been used to, but, you know, with a little
17:24paint and fixing it up, it, uh...
17:26You mean you'll redecorate it?
17:27Well, I, I'll speak to my father about it.
17:31Oh, and Mother's been having a little trouble with the stove.
17:33It's awfully old.
17:34Well, we'll see what we can do about that, too.
17:37Uh, maybe get you another one.
17:38A new stove?
17:40Shh.
17:41Is there somebody asleep in there?
17:42Uh, my father.
17:43I mean, well, my father's a little reluctant about investing money.
17:48He has to be handled with kid gloves.
17:50Say, how about going for a walk?
17:52Oh, not in these shoes, I wouldn't.
17:54They pinch my feet.
17:56Well, go get some others.
17:57I'll wait for you.
17:57That'll be a long wait.
17:59I haven't any others.
18:00Oh.
18:01Well, what size do you wear?
18:03I'm dreaming of a size four.
18:04Why?
18:05Stay right where you are.
18:10Not a word of this to a soul, Katie.
18:12Not anybody expected that lazy son of yours.
18:15If he finds out about it, he'll blow that blasted too with the rest of it.
18:18Mom, what size shoe do you wear?
18:20Six, five.
18:21Oh, never mind.
18:22Now, don't you go buying shoes for me for Christmas, because I've got two pairs already.
18:26Oh.
18:28Isn't that nice of him?
18:29Not a nickel in his pocket, and still thinking of buying me shoes.
18:31Oh.
18:32Just for that, Frank.
18:32I want you to buy a nice necktie for him, and put it under the Christmas tree.
18:36He likes those hand-painted ones.
18:38I saw some perfectly lovely ones for only five dollars.
18:41Huh.
18:42Five dollars, eh?
18:43I'll get some paint out of the attic and paint one myself.
18:45They called us the Amandola Trio, the human pyramid.
18:54Papa balanced Mama's shoulders, and then I stood on top of Mama's, all done up like a little angel.
18:59Sounds exciting.
19:00Then Papa juggled, Mama sang, and I played the harp.
19:03Used to go over big.
19:04Only I started growing, Mama got heavier, and one day Papa's legs gave out.
19:09You mean he dropped you?
19:11Four times in one week.
19:12The fourth time Mama broke her legs.
19:15He got ahead of Papa, though.
19:16He never broke a plate.
19:18He's a great juggler.
19:20Look, there's my father coming out of the bank.
19:22I wonder what he was doing in the bank.
19:34I've never been in the bank.
19:35Just to think of all that money in one place.
19:38We could go to price to this tree with seven dollars.
19:40Yesterday, four dollars.
19:41Now, what am I fit?
19:42Forty cents.
19:42Forty cents.
19:43Who made it a dollar?
19:43One dollar.
19:44I wish we were going to have a tree.
19:46Of course, with the moving and all.
19:48You've talked enough about me.
19:50Tell me about you.
19:50Where do you work?
19:51I don't.
19:52Well, that is, I write music.
19:53Oh, does it pay?
19:54No.
19:55Then you don't work.
19:56Well, I don't have a job.
19:58Can't you find one?
19:59I've never looked for one.
20:00Well, what do you do for money?
20:01I don't need money.
20:02But suppose you were walking along with a girl, and she wanted a maldened milk.
20:06What would you do?
20:08Well, that would be pretty embarrassing.
20:12Sorry I said that, Pete.
20:14Come on, let's go home.
20:17All right, folks, there's two more left.
20:19Now, what am I fit for this one?
20:20Forty cents.
20:21A dollar and a half.
20:22A dollar and a half.
20:23Do I hear two?
20:24A dollar and a half once.
20:25A dollar and a half twice.
20:26Sold it as gentlemen for a dollar and a half.
20:28And now for the last tree.
20:29All right, folks, it's your last chance.
20:31What am I fit for this one?
20:31Forty cents.
20:32Seventy-five cents.
20:33Seventy-five cents.
20:34Do I hear a dollar?
20:34A dollar?
20:35Will someone make it a dollar?
20:36Seventy-five cents once.
20:37Seventy-five cents twice.
20:38A dollar.
20:38A dollar I've got.
20:39A dollar once twice.
20:40Sold it as gentlemen for a dollar.
20:41Here you are, buddy.
20:43Say, mister, would it be all right if I pay you forty cents now and the balance later?
20:48Sure, sure.
20:49Just take the elevator up to the 18th floor.
20:51That's our credit department.
20:52This is a cash sale, buddy.
20:54Do you want the tree or don't you?
20:59Hey, wait.
21:00Look, you can have the tree.
21:03Give me the forty cents.
21:05Oh, thanks.
21:06I'll pay you the rest as soon as I can.
21:09I'll give you a week.
21:10If you don't pay it up by then, I'll find out where you live and take the tree back.
21:18Eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen.
21:22Why didn't you leave it at the bank while you were there?
21:24At the bank.
21:26Katie, you're not serious after all that happened to our little savings in 1929.
21:31No, sirree.
21:32They're never going to get any of my money again.
21:34I'm going to hide it right in this house.
21:40Katie, you better run over to the church and say that little prayer now.
21:45Frank, you're sending me away because you want to keep the hiding place a secret from me.
21:49Oh, no, it isn't you, Katie.
21:51It's Pete.
21:52You're too soft-hearted with that boy.
21:55I'm afraid that...
21:55What's the use of money, anyway, if you're hiding?
21:58Money's for buying things.
21:59To enjoy life, to have some pleasure.
22:02Ah, that's a lot of hooey.
22:03Money is for security, not to worry about the future, to enjoy sleep.
22:07All right, Frank, I'm going.
22:08And I don't care if you stick that blasted money up.
22:10Excuse me, let it smoke till it smells like a handbutt.
22:13What's my name?
22:14I don't care if you stay on earth.
22:24I don't know.
22:26Okay, I just don't care.
22:56To be moving from one place to another, always moving, never having a place to call her home.
23:05Baby and me, Lord, we've tried so hard.
23:09We've tried everything, everything.
23:14But it's so difficult to find a job for a human pyramid.
23:21You're our only hope, so it's up to you.
23:26Please.
25:05Not even a pair of shoes for Rosalinda.
25:14She must have those shoes for us.
25:18She needs them real bad.
26:18Tell me, Rosalinda, do you still play the harp?
26:32Sure, why?
26:33Well, I think I'll compose something just for the harp and tuba.
26:36And I'm going to call it The Melody of Two Orphan Instruments.
26:40That's a cute title.
26:42Do you think they'll go together?
26:43I don't know.
26:45But I'm hoping.
26:48I don't know.
27:12Papa!
27:13Papa, wait!
27:14But I don't understand.
27:29A tree.
27:30Presents.
27:31And look at it, Papa.
27:32A turkey and cranberry sauce and club pudding and candy and nuts.
27:37And look, brand new shoes.
27:39But how?
27:41I don't understand.
27:42You couldn't have won it on a quiz program.
27:44We haven't got any phones.
27:46No, Papa.
27:46I didn't win anything.
27:48Mama!
27:49The wedding ring.
27:50You didn't hock you?
27:50No, I didn't hock anything.
27:52All I did.
27:53I know.
27:54You wired that drummer in Boston who had a crush on you.
27:57That chic with the patent leather shoes and tuxedo.
28:00I remember what he said when we announced our engagement.
28:03If ever you needed anything...
28:05Papa, that was 22 years ago.
28:08I don't care if it was 100 years ago.
28:10I never trusted a guy with a tuxedo.
28:12Especially a rented one.
28:14Oh, let Mom explain, Papa.
28:16No, the money didn't come from him.
28:18It came from...
28:20Here, Papa.
28:21Give that to the dollar.
28:22Come on.
28:25Better loosen your car, Papa.
28:27Rosalind, just bring Papa a glass of water.
28:29Papa, you love me, don't you?
28:34Of course I love you.
28:35Can you trust me?
28:37You'd believe me if I told you something, wouldn't you?
28:39Even if nobody else in all the world would believe me,
28:43you would believe me, wouldn't you, Papa?
28:45Sure I would, Mama.
28:47Well, I was sitting right here in this chair.
28:52And I was praying.
28:55And...
28:56Well...
28:57This money...
29:01$1,500...
29:03comes floating right down through the hole in the sunlight.
29:08$1,500?
29:10From heaven?
29:12You do believe me, don't you, Papa?
29:15You said it.
29:16I've got to believe you.
29:17Oh, Merry Christmas, Papa.
29:21Merry Christmas, Papa.
29:24You see, Rosie?
29:26I told you old Saint Nick wouldn't forget us.
29:28All we needed was an address.
29:33Frank, this perfume is lovely.
29:35It's dangerous.
29:36That's a big bottle.
29:38It must have cost at least $10.
29:40It's not that dangerous.
29:42Oh, this is a terrific tie, Dad.
29:44Thanks again.
29:45Did you see the watermelons' monuments?
29:46They're hand-painted.
29:49Now, who's that?
29:55Merry Christmas, young man.
29:57Merry Christmas.
29:58May be coming?
29:59Oh, why, of course.
30:00Merry Christmas.
30:01Merry Christmas.
30:02Merry Christmas.
30:03Merry Christmas to you, huh?
30:08Why, Mr. Amendola, we have the exact same tags on.
30:12It could be a lot worse if we were girls wearing the same dresses.
30:18Oh, Mom, Dad, this is Mr. and Mrs. Amendola, and their daughter Rosalindra.
30:23How do you?
30:24We're your new tenants.
30:26And you, tight season being upon us, we thought we'd drop in and pay you a visit.
30:30To pay what?
30:31A visit, Frank, a visit.
30:33Oh.
30:34Well, make yourselves comfortable.
30:36Oh, just sit down, Mrs. Amendola.
30:38I'm glad you brought your heart blood, wouldn't you?
30:40Can we sit right over here?
30:41Yeah.
30:41That's a nice tree you got there, Mr. Dingle.
30:44Where did you get it?
30:45Molinaries?
30:46Uh-huh.
30:46Maybe we ought to go down there next week and make our payments together.
30:50Payments.
30:51Speaking of payments, Mr. Amendola,
30:53just what do you do for a living?
30:55Doesn't the name of Amendola suggest nothing to you?
30:58You surely must have seen us perform someplace.
31:01Florida in the racing season,
31:03Lake Platham in the winter season,
31:04or perhaps Africa in the malaria season.
31:07Yes, sir, Dingle.
31:08Someday you'll be able to say the Amendolas were your tenants.
31:12If I don't get my rent money, I'll be able to say that tomorrow.
31:15I'm glad you brought that up, Mr. Dingle.
31:18Now, if you'll just hang your sock on a mantel,
31:21I'll drop in three months' rent.
31:24Keep the four hours changed.
31:27Three months' rent in advance.
31:29Mr. Amendola, we're so glad you folks dropped in on it.
31:33Katie, get Mr. Amendola a chair,
31:35and some coffee and some cake, Katie.
31:38Where's the Christmas spirit?
31:39That's right.
31:41Where is the Christmas spirit?
31:43Jingle bells, jingle bells,
31:45jingle all the way.
31:46Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh.
31:50Jingle bells, jingle bells,
31:52jingle all the way.
31:54Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh.
31:58Ah, I love the excitement of Christmas.
32:02I'll never forget one Christmas Eve when I was a kid.
32:05I hung the stocket up on a mantel by the bed,
32:08and when I woke up the next morning,
32:10what do you think I found on the stocket?
32:12My father's foot.
32:16Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way.
32:19Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh.
32:23Jingle bells, jingle bells,
32:25wait a minute, wait a minute.
32:27Another odd bush like that, Mr. Dingle,
32:29and I'll hide your electric train.
32:31Jingle bells, jingle bells,
32:35jingle all the way.
32:37Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh.
32:42How do you like that?
32:43There's a guy going in business for himself.
32:47Wait a minute.
32:48All together.
32:49Hey, jingle bells, jingle bells,
32:52jingle all the way.
32:53Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh.
32:57Jingle bells, jingle bells,
32:59jingle all the way.
33:01Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh.
33:08This is wonderful.
33:10Now, isn't it a shame
33:12that Christmas comes
33:14but once a year?
33:19Wouldn't it be nice
33:20if it came around twice
33:22spreading hope and good cheer?
33:25Just when everyone
33:28just when everyone forgets goodwill to men?
33:30That's the time for jingle bells to chime and bend.
33:34Now, isn't it a shame
33:36Now, isn't it a shame
33:36that Christmas comes
33:37but once a year?
33:41Now, isn't it a shame
33:42Now, isn't it a shame
33:43Now, isn't it a shame
33:43that Christmas comes
33:45but once a year?
33:48Wouldn't it be nice
33:49Wouldn't it be nice
33:50Wouldn't it be nice
33:51Wouldn't it be nice
33:52Wouldn't it be nice
33:53Wouldn't it be nice
33:54Wouldn't it be nice
33:55Wouldn't it be nice
33:56Wouldn't it be nice
33:57Wouldn't it be nice
33:58Wouldn't it be nice
33:59Wouldn't it be nice
34:00Wouldn't it be nice
34:01Even closer than Damon and Petelius
34:03Now isn't it a shame
34:06That just has come
34:08But not
34:09Oh yeah
34:11You'll notice Rosalinda brought her harp along
34:17And she didn't bring her the slight hard-boiled eggs
34:20All right, Rosalinda
34:22Here you are, Rosalinda
34:24Thank you
34:25Oh, I finished the melody for two orphan instruments
34:28Want to try it?
34:28Sure, except for you to try it over here, Pete
34:30Okay
34:31There you are
34:33Ready?
34:40Yes, uh-huh
34:41Thank you
34:53I don't want my wife to hear you
35:06I don't want my wife to hear you
35:22I don't want my wife to hear you
35:24But the stage has always fascinated me
35:27Don't you think I got a very fine singing voice?
35:30Why, the bad cubs and a whale are full of singers, Mr. Jingles?
35:33Did you ever hear of anyone doing a backflip in a bad cubs?
35:36No
35:37No
35:37And you know the reason why?
35:38Of course, I don't want my wife to hear you
35:39Because only a few of us are rat-bravats
35:41Oh, I just love to learn a few tricks
35:44I'm always so dull when company comes
35:46I can't do a thing
35:47Why, I'd be glad to teach you
35:52You got anything around here we could bring up like a...
35:55See the port?
35:56A seesaw?
35:58Yeah.
35:58Oh, I think so.
36:00Let me see.
36:03How about a table leaf?
36:04You got one?
36:05Go get it.
36:15Great.
36:16Now get me a glass of water.
36:22Thanks.
36:26Why, this trick is so simple I thought it to Rosalinda when she was only three years old.
36:30Now you get up in that chair.
36:33I'll stand down at this end, place the glass of water on my head, and when I say go, you jump down to that end.
36:40I will then do a black somersault, buy the cigarette in midair, and land in that chair without spilling one drop of water.
36:46Ready?
36:47Ready.
36:51Go!
36:52Try much.
37:00Oh, that's so pretty, Pete.
37:24And he wrote it himself.
37:26How well he plays the tuba.
37:29Oh, it's lovely, Pete.
37:31So are you.
37:33Gosh, Rosalinda, your hair, your dress, and gosh, you're beautiful.
37:37Thank you, Pete.
37:39May I have this, Pete?
37:40Oh, sure, sure.
37:42I wrote it for you.
37:43Look, somebody's coming to see us in a beautiful car.
37:56Rosalinda, go down and see who it is.
37:57It might be somebody important.
37:59Yes?
38:00Oh, uh, hello.
38:10I, uh, is Joe Mahoney home?
38:12Well, he's moved away.
38:13He has?
38:14Well, do you know where he went?
38:15Well, I'm afraid I don't.
38:17Oh, that's great.
38:19And what'll I do with this Christmas person I brought him?
38:23Here.
38:23It's yours.
38:25Go ahead.
38:25Go ahead.
38:26I really don't.
38:26Oh, it's just fruit and things.
38:28Uh, you live here?
38:30Yes.
38:31Alone?
38:32With my parents.
38:32Oh, well, that's nice.
38:35Uh, anything I can do for you?
38:39Well, my name is Phil Davis.
38:40I'm a friend of Joe Mahoney's, and I just dropped...
38:42Phil Davis, the agent?
38:43Yes, that's me.
38:44Believe me, this is a pleasure.
38:47My name is Amendola.
38:48You've heard of the Amendola Trio, haven't you?
38:50You know, the human pyramid.
38:52Come in.
38:53Come in.
38:59Now, don't pay any attention to this apartment, Mr. Davis.
39:03We just moved in yesterday.
39:05Not much of a place, but for certain reasons, it fascinates me.
39:10Oh, Mr. Davis.
39:13Take a look at this poster.
39:15You're gazing on one of the greatest vulnerable acts of its time.
39:19And, uh, the only reason we disbanded was because of my little daughter's rapid maturity.
39:24Oh, yes, I can see what you mean.
39:26Oh, Mr. Davis.
39:28I was just thinking.
39:29I can work alone.
39:31Why, I can out-juggle anyone in the business.
39:33And you know something?
39:34I can juggle 25 plates with one hand.
39:36And with the other hand, I pick up the broken one.
39:41Just a little joke I used to react.
39:44Now, if you give me your undivided attention...
39:46You know what?
40:03You're a fool.
40:07Sorry.
40:07Say, that's good.
40:18That's great.
40:19How'd you do it?
40:20Huh?
40:21How'd you do it?
40:23What?
40:23Oh, that's a trade secret.
40:26Do it again.
40:27Oh, yes, do it again, Papa.
40:29Rosalinda, you know the great Amendola never repeats twice.
40:33Well, that's very clever.
40:35I'll try and book you, Mr. Amendola.
40:37Sure, sure.
40:39Now, how about you?
40:41About me?
40:42Yeah.
40:44Oh, I'm sorry to butt in, but the coffee's ready.
40:47Oh.
40:48You know, a girl with your looks and figures should be in the limelight,
40:51and I'm just a man who can put you there.
40:53Said he has a twirl with black mustache, and I deprive beauty.
40:57Who's he?
40:58Please.
40:59You were saying, Mr. D'Amico.
41:01Well, a girl like you should have a decent place to live.
41:05Not a top like this.
41:06What's good enough for my mother and father is...
41:08It's hardly good enough for a raving beauty like you.
41:11And Mr. Davis here is just...
41:13Well, the coffee's ready.
41:15It's getting cold, and so is the cake.
41:17I'm sorry, but Mr. Davis is a very important Broadway agent.
41:21Broadway chiseler.
41:23I beg your pardon.
41:24What was that?
41:25Oh, I know the type.
41:27Promises young girls, expensive clothes, diamonds, furs, anything to make an impression.
41:32He didn't say those things.
41:33You did.
41:34Well, he was going to.
41:39How right has he got to call me a chiseler?
41:41Why, he doesn't even know me.
41:42I think he's jealous.
41:45Well, maybe he's got a case.
41:48Say, it's Christmas, and I'm all alone.
41:52How about me taking you out to a Chinese dinner tonight?
41:54Well, I'm sorry, but I was a...
41:56I'd love to.
41:59Father, may I go out with Mr. Davis?
42:02You'd better ask your mother.
42:04Oh, thanks a lot.
42:09Two five nuts up and only four came down.
42:13This defies the laws of gravity.
