00:00:00The End
00:00:41But this time, it's different.
00:01:00But this time, it's different.
00:01:17But this time, it's different.
00:01:47But this time, it's different.
00:02:04You must dream her, Miss.
00:02:07If I eat it, I will.
00:02:10I'm late.
00:02:12Can't abide tardiness, even in myself.
00:02:14That's all right, Senator Simpson.
00:02:16The wedding breakfast is still going on.
00:02:18Too bad I missed the wedding.
00:02:20Oh, you're still in time for the wedding.
00:02:22You're not the one that missed it.
00:02:24What's that you say?
00:02:25It hasn't happened yet.
00:02:27Wedding breakfast before the wedding?
00:02:29Curious?
00:02:29That's what everybody thinks.
00:02:31What?
00:02:32Senator Simpson, I'm so glad you were able to come.
00:02:35Well, I wasn't going to miss the only chance I'll probably ever have to kiss the bride.
00:02:39Oh, come and have something to eat.
00:02:41Oh, but wait, I want to shake hands of the groom first.
00:02:44Oh, uh, Sonny, well, he isn't here yet.
00:02:46What?
00:02:47Oh, dear Jimmy, I knew you at least wouldn't desert us.
00:02:51Mother!
00:02:51How are you, Eliza?
00:02:52Very well, Sonny.
00:02:52Sonny hasn't deserted us.
00:02:54It's just that his ship hasn't docked yet.
00:02:56He'll be here just as soon as he can make it.
00:02:59But, darling, I didn't mean...
00:03:01Oh, dear, it does seem odd serving the wedding breakfast before the wedding.
00:03:06We really haven't anything to celebrate, have we?
00:03:08Well, love.
00:03:09Mr. Sally?
00:03:10No, thanks, no.
00:03:11Oh, everybody's been here for hours.
00:03:13I was afraid they wouldn't stick it out unless we send them.
00:03:15Yes, that was a very good idea.
00:03:17But I don't know why they should stay after we feed them unless we hold back on the ice cream.
00:03:21Exactly.
00:03:22You know, you've got a most marvelous spread here.
00:03:25Well, I told everyone not to accept the wedding invitation unless they contributed food coupons.
00:03:30Well, that was a brainwave.
00:03:31I know so.
00:03:32There you are, darling.
00:03:34And...
00:03:34Now, as I get you did...
00:03:37Have you everything you want, Peter?
00:03:39I have not and you know it.
00:03:41It seems to me Sonny's father might be here at least.
00:03:43Exactly.
00:03:44You know, someone ought to be here to represent his family as an evidence of good faith.
00:03:49Colonel Fyfe is a big financier.
00:03:51He phoned to say that he was terribly sorry, but he had a very important engagement which might interfere.
00:03:57Oh.
00:04:05Just wait, Saunders.
00:04:06Yes, Colonel Fyfe.
00:04:08Well, hello, Mike.
00:04:09I believe I owe you a few dollars.
00:04:10You do.
00:04:11Fifteen bucks to be exact.
00:04:12Yes.
00:04:12Have we got a change of twenty?
00:04:13I have.
00:04:16Well, thanks, Mike.
00:04:18Now I owe you twenty.
00:04:53Hello?
00:04:54Oh, you again.
00:04:55Well, I haven't seen my kid in a year.
00:04:57Isn't the ship in yet?
00:04:58Within twenty minutes.
00:05:00Well, I must speak to my wife first.
00:05:02Then I'll be on my way.
00:05:17Oh, this is impossible.
00:05:19I can't sing while he looks at me.
00:05:20Again, you're my lady.
00:05:21Thousands of people will be looking at you, madame.
00:05:22Not that way.
00:05:24I can't sing this tomorrow night anyway.
00:05:26But you must sing it.
00:05:27I've already announced the opera.
00:05:28Who else have I got to sing it?
00:05:30No, no.
00:05:30The public expects great performance from me.
00:05:33And he plays this chord the day, but leave to distract.
00:05:35I play this chord.
00:05:36You see?
00:05:36He admits it.
00:05:37I did not play this chord.
00:05:38I couldn't play this chord.
00:05:41That is not the way it goes.
00:05:42But that's how you play them.
00:05:43Ah, a monster.
00:05:44You did that.
00:05:45It's a sight of legions.
00:05:46Even you noticed it, eh?
00:05:47No, I didn't.
00:05:48Ha!
00:05:48You see?
00:05:49Even your own husband.
00:05:50What do you know about music?
00:05:51Well, again, you're my lamb.
00:05:52I was only trying to make the best of a very bad...
00:05:54Isn't this how I played it?
00:05:54I don't know.
00:05:55I didn't hear it.
00:05:55No wonder you couldn't hear it.
00:05:56She bellowed so loud you couldn't hear what I'm playing.
00:05:59I bellowed?
00:05:59Like a cow.
00:06:01Now, what is it?
00:06:01What do you want?
00:06:04Again, you're my lamb.
00:06:05Can you spare me 25 bucks?
00:06:07A friend of mine is getting married.
00:06:08And why must you pay for the wedding?
00:06:10Are they marrying to oblige you?
00:06:11Well, of course not, darling.
00:06:12I simply want to buy them a little present.
00:06:13For which I am to pay.
00:06:15Why don't you buy it out of your allowance?
00:06:17You have no expenses.
00:06:18Your living is provided.
00:06:19What do you do with that 25 dollars a week I give you?

00:13:20before pleasure let's stay here a minute just family before you marry janey there's something peter
00:13:26thinks you ought to know yeah yeah what's this mom's well you see janey
00:13:35you know how peter has always helped me with my investments yes so when he came in the other day
00:13:41and offered to trade half of his atlas international copper for all of my t and w i couldn't turn
00:13:46down
00:13:46such a bargain what naturally my t and w was worth only a hundred dollars a share while his atlas
00:13:52international copper had 250 engraved right on it yes but didn't you know that atlas international
00:13:58copper is absolutely worthless of course i didn't i trusted peter the little schemer mother you mean
00:14:03to say he took advantage of your faith in him to swindle you out of all your money well yes
00:14:07you might
00:14:08put it that way crudely i do put it that way crudely but you see sonny i still had fifty
00:14:13thousand
00:14:14dollars in my savings account did you say had yes darling had i wonder how peter happened to overlook
00:14:22that he didn't father that money was for an emergency exactly and peter pointed out that this was
00:14:27an emergency so i drew ten thousand dollars and he took me to the 59 club to a gambling place
00:14:34what
00:14:35did he take you there for he took her for the fifty thousand to play roulette a fascinating game you
00:14:41bet
00:14:41on numbers and if you guess right you win a fortune only you didn't guess right no but that wasn't
00:14:47peter's
00:14:48fault but at least you have the forty thousand left well not quite and he told you that if you
00:14:55tried
00:14:55again you might recoup your losses and win a lot more yes how did you guess but how much do
00:15:03you
00:15:03have now in actual cash in actual cash well about um thirteen hundred dollars what mother why haven't
00:15:14you told me all this peter didn't want me to he said he could handle you after sonny broke the
00:15:19engagement
00:15:19after i what broke the engagement well you see peter did this on purpose he wanted to make me lose
00:15:25everything that's exactly right because i think you're only marrying janey for her money you pig you

00:36:14Yeah, yeah, give me that.
00:36:15Hey, Sonny.
00:36:16Oh, hello, hello.
00:36:18This is outrageous.
00:36:19I'll leave you right after the wedding ceremony
00:36:21and come here again.
00:36:22But he has a good reason.
00:36:24Good enough to make him postpone his honeymoon.
00:36:26Of course.
00:36:27He's here to watch somebody, aren't you, Sonny?
00:36:30Huh?
00:36:31Oh, yes.
00:36:31Yes, yes, that's right.
00:36:32Oh, hello, Senator.
00:36:33How are you?
00:36:34Nice to see you.
00:36:34Hmm.
00:36:37Friend has incredible luck.
00:36:38Yes, he always has.
00:36:40Oh, Mrs. Prescott, may I present Mr. Michelangelo?
00:36:43How do you do?
00:36:44Michelangelo?
00:36:45It's a very familiar name.
00:36:47Aren't you well?
00:36:48You look as if you'd had a shot.
00:36:49I have.
00:36:50Oh, you poor man.
00:36:51Have you taken anything?
00:36:52No, I've lost everything.
00:36:54Oh, well, what you need is a good psychic.
00:36:57Well, you want to know what's caused your trouble, don't you?
00:37:01It must have been a short circuit.
00:37:02What?
00:37:03Say, have you ever heard of numerology?
00:37:06Oh, yes.
00:37:06I took it once from a red-haired Egyptian with green eyes.
00:37:09I think he was an Irishman, really.
00:37:10None of this is actually happening.
00:37:12It must be a dream.
00:37:13Oh, I know what's wrong with you.
00:37:15You've been losing money at roulette.
00:37:16Yeah, plenty.
00:37:17Didn't you know this table is crooked?
00:37:18Uh-huh.
00:37:19Well, of course.
00:37:20It has a magnet right underneath it.
00:37:22The troupeer can stop the ball wherever he wants to.
00:37:24Who told you this?
00:37:25The gentleman here, Colonel Fein.
00:37:27Let's go and cash these in.
00:37:29Just a minute, boy.
00:37:31Who is it that you are watching?
00:37:32Huh?
00:37:33Make your bets, please.
00:37:34Make your bets.
00:37:35That's a military secret.
00:37:36But Sonny's in the Navy.
00:37:38That shows how versatile he is.
00:37:40There she is, sitting down there at the end of the table.
00:37:42No more bets.
00:37:43No more bets.
00:37:45What?
00:37:46Why, that's the wife of old Senator Binns.
00:37:49I know.
00:37:50What are you watching her for, huh?
00:37:52What are you watching her for?
00:37:53Come on, Sonny.
00:37:55Let's all go have a drink.
00:37:56At the bar.
00:37:57I love drinks at the bar.
00:37:59Uh-oh.
00:38:00Be careful with that stuff.
00:38:01Hiya, Les.
00:38:01Hi, Pard.
00:38:02My numerologist.
00:38:03Oh.
00:38:04I have a little something for you.
00:38:05Oh, I hope it's not too little.
00:38:07I can't stand anything too little.
00:38:08That includes diamonds, money, and men.
00:38:10I promised her a third.
00:38:11We couldn't have won, you know, without her assistance.
00:38:13Oh, well, that's fair enough.
00:38:15Well, I haven't we met before.
00:38:16You're one little number.
00:38:17I haven't had the chance to study.
00:38:19I don't suppose you'd do anything except on certain days.
00:38:22Well, uh, that all depends on the inducement.
00:38:25Why don't you try tempting me?
00:38:28Dad.
00:38:29Just a moment, son.
00:38:32$73,850.
00:38:34Here's $10, Sunday.
00:38:36Now, you buy yourself a lemonade with a cherry in it.
00:38:39Now, uh...
00:38:40Uh, Mir, how much have you got for me?
00:38:42Now, here's the $50,000 back that your mother-in-law lost here.
00:38:45And here's $23,850 for you.
00:38:48It's a little short.
00:38:49Well, so am I.
00:38:50So we won't quibble.
00:38:51That's worth a big kiss.
00:38:54Suppose it'd have been five times that much.
00:38:57You suppose it, sailor.
00:38:59Hector!
00:39:00My wife.
00:39:01Stand by the rent of first aid.
00:39:02I'm sure you'll both be very happy.
00:39:04There's nothing like married life.
00:39:06Nothing.
00:39:07Oh, hello, my lamb.
00:39:08You're just in time to congratulate my young friend here.
00:39:11Friend?
00:39:11He was married today.
00:39:13You look very pleased about it, judging by that kiss.
00:39:16Oh, don't be a silly philly.
00:39:18That kiss was simply a...
00:39:18Just an idea of congratulations, huh?
00:39:21Yeah.
00:39:21Why not?
00:39:22It seems strange that you are so happy over this marriage.
00:39:27Bridegroom doesn't look so pleased.
00:39:29Say, look here.
00:39:30She thinks that I...
00:39:31We can't help what she thinks.
00:39:32No, you see, he's still dazed by his good fortune.
00:39:35Come, honey bun.
00:39:35I want to dance with my newest, handsomest husband.
00:39:38He looks cute.
00:39:39Now, I would like to know what you meant by running off and leaving me this afternoon.
00:39:46Say, look here.
00:39:48My wife's around here someplace.
00:39:49Another wife?
00:39:51Well, never mind.
00:39:52I'm broad-minded.
00:39:53Yes, but she's got her mother and Senator Simpson with her, and they may not be.
00:39:57But you've got to help your dad.
00:39:59Think of how he's helped you all your life.
00:40:01And that woman he's married to, she's our wildcat.
00:40:04But she's not watching us, is she?
00:40:06If you think not, try getting away.
00:40:11Oh, Tom Collins.
00:40:13Oh, how do you do, Mr. Collins?
00:40:15Darling, his name isn't Collins.
00:40:17Well, how did you say it was?
00:40:18Oh, I didn't.
00:40:20Lady, the name is Dan Hannigan.
00:40:22If it matters.
00:40:23Oh, darling, let's forget it.
00:40:24Yes.
00:40:24Yes, just pretend it never happened.
00:40:26Let's start all over, shall we?
00:40:27Now, what'll you have, Liza?
00:40:28How about a horse's neck?
00:40:30A horse's neck?
00:40:30Oh, I didn't bring my coupon book.
00:40:32I could make a pink lady or a black willow.
00:40:39Suppose I give her an old nail punch.
00:40:40What?
00:40:41If you do, she'll scream.
00:40:43Well, there must be something you'd like to try.
00:40:45I know.
00:40:46A Mickey Finn.
00:40:47Mickey Finn.
00:40:50I'll be back.
00:40:52Oh, he did a double take like in the movies.
00:40:54That's right.
00:40:55I wonder if it's hard to do.
00:40:58No, it's this way, isn't it?
00:41:02More like this, isn't it?
00:41:05Oh, that's splendid.
00:41:07You try it, dear.
00:41:07Nothing to it at all.
00:41:31That was a perfect one, Chief.
00:41:33Well, will you look at that.
00:41:37Come on, Les, sing it out.
00:41:39Oh, no, don't do that, please.
00:41:40You attract too much attention.
00:41:41I suppose he's got a good reason for that, too.
00:41:45Doubtedly.
00:41:45And I can guess what it is.
00:41:47You don't suppose he wants to be doing that, do you?
00:41:50Frankly, yes.
00:41:51He's obviously obeying orders, trying to find out something.
00:41:55Well, she can teach him plenty.
00:41:58I loved you too little, too late.
00:42:03Maybe, maybe, who can tell?
00:42:05I guess that I gambled with fate, not too wisely, nor too well.
00:42:15One little lover's wrong, and look what's happened now.
00:42:23I never dreamed, dear, that it would mean farewell.
00:42:28Bye, bye, baby, baby, bye, bye, bye.
00:42:31I knew that romance was a game that I shouldn't underrate.
00:42:39But here I am left with the same old blues I had to contemplate.
00:42:48I didn't count the cost.
00:42:52I tossed a coin and lost.
00:42:55And found that I loved you too little and too late.
00:43:04Charlie.
00:43:05I was too upset before to offer you my congratulations.
00:43:09Thank you so much.
00:43:10Sweetie.
00:43:10Come to the bar and we celebrate.
00:43:13Oh, well, I'm very sorry, but I can't go to the bar just now.
00:43:16No, no, you see, there's a woman there he'd rather not meet.
00:43:20Yes.
00:43:21Some other time.
00:43:22Yes, we'll give you a ring.
00:43:30Look, your flowers and diamond and cleft.
00:43:32My cleft, yes.
00:43:33No, where?
00:43:33Sure.
00:43:34On the table, but a woman.
00:43:37No.
00:43:38Yes, sir.
00:43:39Sorry to disturb you.
00:43:40I am genius with Anna.
00:43:41You're what?
00:43:42Why won't you sit down?
00:43:44Allow me.
00:43:44I've been admiring the diamond cleft.
00:43:46It is beautiful, isn't it?
00:43:48It's a wedding gift.
00:43:50Indeed.
00:43:51Given to you by a person named Five, perhaps?
00:43:54Why, yes.
00:43:54My husband.
00:43:55Your husband.
00:43:57Impossible.
00:43:57He's my husband.
00:43:58Your husband.
00:43:59He married me six months ago.
00:44:01Legally?
00:44:01What do you think?
00:44:02Then, then he's got two wives.
00:44:04What?
00:44:04He married this child today.
00:44:06I'll go and get him.
00:44:07You wretch.
00:44:08You wretch.
00:44:08He said he had to buy a present for a wedding, but he didn't say his wedding.
00:44:12I don't believe a word of all this.
00:44:13That's right.
00:44:14Darling, neither do I.
00:44:15Why should he marry her?
00:44:16Why shouldn't he marry me?
00:44:18Well, he must be considerably younger.
00:44:19This is too much.
00:44:21He's ten years older than I am, at least.
00:44:23I must say, he doesn't look it.
00:44:25It's a matter for Peter.
00:44:26Well, that's my opinion.
00:44:27Well, anyway, six months ago, he was riding the waves.
00:44:30Oh, there, Sonny, there.
00:44:31I can't help what you told my father.
00:44:33But Jamie, I told you.
00:44:34You can spare the time.
00:44:36Your wife would like to have a few words with you.
00:44:38You see?
00:44:39I was expecting this.
00:44:42But he's married to her.
00:44:43They told me so.
00:44:44Oh, no.
00:44:45Then he's got three wives.
00:44:47Bless my soul.
00:44:48Jamie.
00:44:49Jamie, I suppose you've been wondering.
00:44:50Quite right.
00:44:51We've all been wondering.
00:44:52You recognize Mother Spatanna then?
00:44:54Oh, sure.
00:44:55Oh, Sonny.
00:44:56Did you or didn't you tell me?
00:44:57You were married to that girl you were just dancing with?
00:44:59Sure, I did.
00:45:00But Sonny.
00:45:01But this woman says you are married to her.
00:45:03Oh, that's my pleasure.
00:45:04You admit that you're married to both of them?
00:45:05Of course not.
00:45:06But you just said you were married to that other girl.
00:45:08Yes, I know I said so.
00:45:09So what about Mother Spatanna?
00:45:11I understand you're married to her, too.
00:45:12Who says so?
00:45:13She says so.
00:45:14I never said so.
00:45:15Oh, you certainly did.
00:45:16I certainly did not.
00:45:18Well, I must say, I understand.
00:45:19It certainly seemed as though you did.
00:45:20We are all trying to confuse the issue deliberately.
00:45:23But I see through it.
00:45:24It's an order from Spinelli.
00:45:25Okay, he owns the joint.
00:45:27Come on, boys.
00:45:28Back on the stand.
00:45:29You are all in a league with my husband.
00:45:31Oh, shh.
00:45:32Everybody's looking.
00:45:32You needn't be so violent.
00:45:33Violent?
00:45:34I'll show you how to be violent.
00:45:38We are privileged to have with us this evening
00:45:41Madame Genia Smetana,
00:45:43famous Wagnerian prima donna
00:45:44who will sing for us
00:45:45the evening star from Tannhauser.
00:46:16Oh, what have you got against Spinelli?
00:46:17First you rob him at the table and now this.
00:46:19How would you like to go in on another deal with me?
00:46:21I listen to all propositions.
00:46:23Come.
00:46:23Come.
00:46:25Come.
00:46:26Come.
00:46:27That song brings back such poignant memories.
00:46:31He played it at your dear father's funeral.
00:46:34Oh, was it our old wedding?
00:46:36Wedding?
00:46:37Gosh, that reminds me as if I ever forgot.
00:46:40Wait a minute, young man.
00:46:41How is it that you're involved with three different women?
00:46:44Senator, I can't even get involved with one woman.
00:46:52If you children are going to start off on your honeymoon,
00:46:54you'd better hurry up and change, darling.
00:46:56I know, Mums.
00:46:57We'll be right on.
00:46:58Come along, Jimmy.
00:46:59I'll give you a nightcap.
00:47:00I still don't understand any of it.
00:47:02For me, it's most confusing.
00:47:03Most.
00:47:04Do you know what I do when things get too complicated?
00:47:07I put them out of my mind completely
00:47:08and in time, they clear themselves up.
00:47:10In time?
00:47:11Mm-hmm.
00:47:16Oh, look at that.
00:47:17Quarterly.
00:47:17Quarterly.
00:47:17Quarterly to six.
00:47:18Well, we've lost 18 of our 48 hours already.
00:47:21My heavens.
00:47:22I won't be five minutes.
00:47:24Oh, say, honey.
00:47:25Mm-hmm?
00:47:26I've got an idea.
00:47:27Why don't we stay here the rest of tonight
00:47:29and start on our honeymoon in the morning?
00:47:31We can stay here with Mother
00:47:33and the Senator and the servants about.
00:47:34I wish we had an apartment.
00:47:36Yeah, so do I.
00:47:37I spoke to Dad about it.
00:47:39He said he'd see if he could find one for us.
00:47:41Of course, he's hardly had time, Jod.
00:47:43I know.
00:47:44Don't worry, darling.
00:47:46I mean, we can be in briar-triff in an hour or so.
00:47:52Why waste even an hour or two?
00:47:54But it wouldn't be wasted. After all, we'd be alone together.
00:48:04Hello? Yes?
00:48:06Oh, very well.
00:48:08What's the matter?
00:48:10Oh, I've got to hurry.
00:48:11Well, what's the big idea?
00:48:12I'm an air raid warden. I've got to report for duty.
00:48:14Yeah, but darling, you can't go now.
00:48:16But I'll be back in less than an hour.
00:48:18An hour?
00:48:26Remind me to get one of those in my bathroom.
00:48:28Nice quiet spot, this.
00:48:29Hello, honey. Oh, very high class.
00:48:32But nobody's liable to spot us here.
00:48:33Hiya, babe. Hi, Carl.
00:48:35Hey.
00:48:37Here is your slip.
00:48:39Thanks.
00:48:40It's a good thing I'm leaving town tomorrow before Spinelli tracks me down.
00:48:43Maybe you won't want to go when you find out what I have in mind.
00:48:46We've got to unload this on Peter Warrington III.
00:48:49Atlas International Copper?
00:48:50Oh, honey, it's pretty, but he'd have to be a moron to buy it.
00:48:54We've got to convince him it's valuable.
00:48:55Same trick worked on that guy in St. Louis.
00:48:57Could be.
00:48:58I could always get the phony Wall Street Chronicle printed.
00:49:00Uh-huh, and I could...
00:49:01Go back later, boy.
00:49:02Yes, sir.
00:49:03I could put up the ten grand for front money.
00:49:05And Sonny can handle the negotiations.
00:49:07Uh-oh. Would he come in on a deal like this?
00:49:08Well, not if he knew.
00:49:09We've got to fool him.
00:49:10After all, he's getting his own money back.
00:49:12We've got to make him believe that Atlas International Copper has struck a rich vein.
00:49:15The newspaper gag will do it.
00:49:17That's right.
00:49:29Same cut?
00:49:30How about it?
00:49:30Same cut.
00:49:32Wonderful.
00:49:32Here's where I get that mink coat I've been wanting.
00:49:35I've been wondering who's going to pay for it.
00:49:37Okay, you get a mink coat, too.
00:49:40Say, that girl is good.
00:49:41It's got a hot as pig, it's not a wonderful chapeau.
00:49:45The man with the big sombrero is strictly on the beam.
00:49:49And every fair muchacha there is crazy after him.
00:49:53For when it rains, when it pours, they get under his big wonderful sombrero.
00:50:01When it's hot as a door, every lady loves the shady caballero.
00:50:08Yahoo!
00:50:09They all come around the market to gather round his cart.
00:50:14They push and shove for making love within this such an art.
00:50:18This man with the big sombrero, no bigger than his morrow.
00:50:47No, no, no.
00:50:49It's got a hot as big as that.
00:50:51No, no.
00:50:51No.
00:50:54ooohhhhhh
00:51:10This is all your fault.
00:51:12But your own husband stole your diamond clip to give it to another woman.
00:51:15Didn't you want to know that?
00:51:16No. And don't keep reminding me.
00:51:18I could be so happy that you made me quarrel with him, so now I have to walk out.
00:51:22I made you?
00:51:24I have some pride.
00:51:25What else could I do?
00:51:26He's no good anyway.
00:51:27Never was.
00:51:28Your divorce will be wonderful publicity.
00:51:30My divorce?
00:51:31Yes.
00:51:31Who says I'm going to divorce?
00:51:33But you must divorce him.
00:51:34I've already given the story to the newspapers while you were packing.
00:51:37I never divorce him.
00:51:38Do you hear?
00:51:39Never.
00:51:40I love him as a dog.
00:51:42Then why have you packed?
00:51:43Why are you leaving?
00:51:44To scare him.
00:51:45I'm only taking a few things for overnight.
00:51:47Do you think I give up my new flat that I have just furnished?
00:51:50My souvenirs, my paintings, my wallpapers.
00:51:53Look at that.
00:51:55Make the order for me.
00:51:56Wagner and his family are having a picnic.
00:51:58That's Cosima and that's Siegfried and that's Cousin Johanna.
00:52:02Wagner.
00:52:03Wagner.
00:52:04He's my inspiration.
00:52:17Why are you leaving?
00:52:19Why are you leaving?
00:52:21Why are you leaving?
00:52:22Why are you leaving?
00:52:24Why are you leaving?
00:52:24Sonny.
00:52:25Sonny.
00:52:27Sonny.
00:52:28Wake up.
00:52:30Come on.
00:52:31Let me alone, will you, Bob?
00:52:32I got a Liberty Pass.
00:52:33What?
00:52:33Come on.
00:52:34Oh, you poor darling.
00:52:37It's Janie.
00:52:40Oh, Janie.
00:52:41Janie.
00:52:42Janie.
00:52:42You've been gone for hours.
00:52:44I know.
00:52:46It's morning.
00:52:48Our wedding night is over.
00:52:49I know.
00:52:51If I ever get a crack at Hitler, I...
00:52:53Oh, never mind, Sonny.
00:52:54We've got almost half your leave left.
00:52:56We'll crowd enough happiness into those few hours to last us for months.
00:53:00The main thing is we've got each other now.
00:53:03I'll know wherever you are that you're thinking of me and you'll know wherever I am that I'm thinking of
00:53:08you.
00:53:08Well, it'd be kind of nice to have a little married life to remember, too, you know.
00:53:11I mean, like keeping house together.
00:53:13What newspaper did it take?
00:53:14What's wrong with the furnace?
00:53:15Oh, I know.
00:53:15We'll have all that someday.
00:53:17All those heavenly little difficulties that draw two people closer together.
00:53:25Janie.
00:53:26That's 9.30.
00:53:28What are we waiting for now?
00:53:33It's a swell gag, but I'm getting kind of tired of it.
00:53:37Hello.
00:53:39Oh, hello, Dad.
00:53:40Yeah, sure.
00:53:41Go ahead and make it snappy, will you?
00:53:42We're just about to shove off.
00:53:43Now, listen, Sonny.
00:53:44I've got to see you at once about that copper stock.
00:53:46I can't tell you details because Janie might tell her mother and her mother might tip Peter off and spoil
00:53:50everything.
00:53:51Just tell her it's urgent and a big surprise for her.
00:53:54Surprise?
00:53:56Yeah, but that...
00:53:58Well, Dad, but...
00:53:59Well, okay, if you're sure it'll only take a few minutes.
00:54:02Yes, I'll meet you.
00:54:03Okay, the Beverly Arms, yes.
00:54:05Yes, Dad, I'll come alone.
00:54:07Yeah.
00:54:09Janie.
00:54:10Chronicle Extra.
00:54:11Ladies, Wall Street Chronicle Extra.
00:54:14Extra.
00:54:15Extra.
00:54:15Wall Street Chronicle, sir.
00:54:16Now, listen, son.
00:54:17How would you like to make 10 bucks?
00:54:18Gee.
00:54:19A couple of friends of mine will be along here in a minute.
00:54:20I'll give you 10 bucks to settle in this paper as a gag.
00:54:23New load discovered at Atlas International Copper Mine.
00:54:25They wouldn't fall for that, would they?
00:54:27Well, I'm gambling 10 bucks if they will.
00:54:28Okay.
00:54:29How will I know them?
00:54:30Now, one of them is a great, big, tall, handsome, blonde sailor.
00:54:32And the other is just an ordinary, plain, pudding-faced guy.
00:54:35Do you understand?
00:54:36Sure, yes, sir.
00:54:37Extra.
00:54:38Wall Street Chronicle.
00:54:39Extra.
00:54:39Extra.
00:54:44Can I help you, sir?
00:54:46I just want to establish a credit here so I can pull my orders in.
00:54:49Oh, certainly, sir.
00:54:49To what amount?
00:54:50Oh, say, $10,000.
00:54:52In what name, sir?
00:54:53Uh, Sonny Fife.
00:54:55Sonny Fife.
00:54:56That's right.
00:54:56Sonny Fife.
00:54:57I'll get you a receipt.
00:55:06You certainly do get around.
00:55:16Oh, there he is.
00:55:22That's splendid.
00:55:23Be meticulous.
00:55:23It pays.
00:55:24You get a $15 raise from today.
00:55:27Well, hello, Sonny.
00:55:28Hello, Dad.
00:55:29You remember Peter Warrington.
00:55:31The third?
00:55:31Certainly.
00:55:32Say, I bought that stock from Peter, as you suggested, and I got the whole thing for $1.65.
00:55:36Quite a bargain.
00:55:37My taxi fare.
00:55:38I just came along to see what he's going to do with it.
00:55:40Well, stick around and you'll see.
00:55:41I didn't know you were connected with this firm.
00:55:44Well, very few people do.
00:55:45There you are, Dad.
00:55:46A hundred shares.
00:55:47How much was it I promised you?
00:55:48A hundred dollars a share.
00:55:49Right.
00:55:49A hundred dollars a share for Atlas International Comfort.
00:55:52You haven't read your morning paper.
00:55:53Hey, boy.
00:55:55Where are you going?
00:55:56I'm taking these papers up to Miss Fink at Mr. Hayward's office.
00:55:58Well, hurry, don't you know Mr. Hayward's waiting?
00:56:00Mr. Hayward died last week.
00:56:02Died?
00:56:03Why doesn't anybody tell me these things?
00:56:05You see, a hundred shares at a hundred dollars a share.
00:56:07That's...
00:56:08Hi.
00:56:08Yes?
00:56:09Here's your receipt.
00:56:11Thank you, my boy.
00:56:12You've been very quick and efficient.
00:56:13And I shall mention it personally to Mr. Bowden.
00:56:15You wait here a minute, son, and I'll have our cashier make you out a check for this.
00:56:18New load discovered at Atlas International Copper Mines.
00:56:21There it is.
00:56:22Uh-huh.
00:56:22Hurry up.
00:56:23Yeah, I beg your pardon.
00:56:24Goodbye.
00:56:25I just established a credit here for $10,000.
00:56:27Please make out a check for the full amount.
00:56:28But you just paid in the $10,000 a few minutes ago.
00:56:31That is right.
00:56:32May I ask why you changed your mind?
00:56:33You may.
00:56:34I sometimes do, so I won't get into a rut.
00:56:36Oh, I see.
00:56:37Make it out to, uh, Sunny Five.
00:56:39Throw that in the wastebasket.
00:56:41This is the most spectacular strike in 10 years.
00:56:43And it is generally predicted that Atlas...
00:56:47That Atlas International Copper Stock will soar to new heights on the strength of this discovery.
00:56:51Is your check made out for $10,000 to Mr. Sunny Five?
00:56:55That's exactly right.
00:56:58There you are.
00:56:59Oh, gosh, Dad, thanks.
00:57:01Let me have a look at that.
00:57:02It's about an in-company check, all right.
00:57:04Any time you get hold of any more of that stock, just bring it in.
00:57:06We're on the market for all we can pick up.
00:57:08Now, you'll have to excuse me.
00:57:10I've got to see Barton on a rather pressing matter.
00:57:18Flash Gordon's in an awful mess.
00:57:25I beg your pardon.
00:57:33Thank you very much.
00:57:40Who was that man?
00:57:41I haven't an idea.
00:57:43I know that.
00:57:44I wonder what he wanted.
00:57:46Maybe to light his cigar.
00:57:51Hi, sailor.
00:57:52Your father working your day for a change?
00:57:53Yes.
00:57:54You want him?
00:57:54No, thanks, honey.
00:57:55I just want to see him.
00:57:56I, uh, I have some stock for him.
00:57:58Atlas International Copper?
00:57:59Mm-hmm.
00:58:00A romantic souvenir.
00:58:01Well, he just stepped into Mr. Bowden's office.
00:58:03Come on.
00:58:03I'll find him for you.
00:58:09Hello.
00:58:10Did you bring me that stock?
00:58:11A thousand shares.
00:58:12A friend gave it to me as a going away gift, and then he went away.
00:58:15Just in time, too.
00:58:17You don't know it, but even the five and ten cent store wouldn't handle this stuff until today.
00:58:21Really?
00:58:21Well, how much do you want for it?
00:58:22As much as I can get for it.
00:58:23But I'll take $50 a share.
00:58:25Well, that's more than I expected to pay.
00:58:26That's more than I expected to get until I heard that you wanted it.
00:58:29Very well, then.
00:58:30$50 a share.
00:58:34Mr. Bowden.
00:58:35You know that man that was just in here?
00:58:37No.
00:58:37Who was he?
00:58:38I don't know.
00:58:39But he's just bought a hundred shares of Atlas International Copper at $100 a share.
00:58:43The man must be mad.
00:58:44And now he's dickering for a thousand more at $50.
00:58:46The stock is worthless.
00:58:48It was, but not now.
00:58:49Look at this.
00:58:50New load discovered at Atlas International Copper Mines.
00:58:55Very well, then.
00:58:56$50 a share.
00:58:58That'll be an even $50,000.
00:58:59I'll get you a check for it.
00:59:00Oh, wait a minute.
00:59:00I don't want a check.
00:59:01Oh, but I'm afraid we don't carry such large sums in cash, do we, Bowden?
00:59:04Oh, certainly not.
00:59:06Well, it was nice seeing you.
00:59:08But you can cash a Bowden and a company check anywhere.
00:59:10The crocuses are lovely in the park.
00:59:12All right.
00:59:12If you don't mind waiting, I'll go to the bank and get cash.
00:59:15Come along, Sonny.
00:59:17Uh, thanks very much, Bowden.
00:59:22I'll give you $55 a share for that stock.
00:59:23Oh, but I couldn't do that, could I?
00:59:26Well, $60,000 then, and you can come right along with me now to my bank and get the money.
00:59:29Oh, but Colonel Pfeiffer would be cross with me if he didn't get this stock.
00:59:31Well, I'll sell it to him later on if he really wants it badly.
00:59:36What do you think, Mr. Bowden?
00:59:38Well, Sonny, you've done your part of the deal very well, so back you go to join Janie.
00:59:42Well, at least I've got 24 hours of my honeymoon left.
00:59:45Taxi!
00:59:50Janie!
00:59:51Janie!
00:59:51Mrs. Pfeiffer's gone, sir.
00:59:53What do you mean, gone?
00:59:54Gone where?
00:59:54I don't know, sir, but out she went, bag and baggage, just after Mr. Peter left her.
00:59:58What?
00:59:58Mrs. Prescott might know something, sir, if she can remember.
01:00:01Where is she?
01:00:02Well, she's gone too, sir, with the Senator.
01:00:05Oh.
01:00:05But they'll be back.
01:00:07I'm afraid you'll have to wait.
01:00:09What do you think I've been doing?
01:00:35Are you in here, my lamb?
01:00:37Oh, hello.
01:00:38I didn't expect to see you here.
01:00:41Well, I didn't expect to see you here.
01:00:43Well, I just moved in.
01:00:44So I see.
01:00:45I hope you're comfortable.
01:00:46Well, not yet, but I think I can make it fit to live in.
01:00:49It has possibilities.
01:00:50You're not being too optimistic.
01:00:51Well, I'll be able to tell better when I get rid of some of this junk.
01:00:54Oh, it was sweet of you to take this apartment for us.
01:00:57Yes, wasn't it?
01:00:57I knew the instant Peter said he was going to meet Sonny here that this was the surprise Sonny mentioned.
01:01:02So I thought I'd surprise the both of you and just move right in.
01:01:05Well, you certainly surprised me.
01:01:07I thought I'd get settled and take a nap before Sonny got here, but I simply couldn't rest in all
01:01:11this disorder.
01:01:12It wasn't like this before you came.
01:01:14Oh, say, do you know what I think?
01:01:17Some woman left this apartment in a hurry.
01:01:19Lots of her clothes were still in the cupboard in the bureau drawers.
01:01:22The police were probably after.
01:01:24And judging by her sayings, and this perfume.
01:01:28I can guess why.
01:01:29That perfume cost $50 a bottle.
01:01:32Good heavens, it's you again.
01:01:33How in the world did you get in here?
01:01:35With my latchkey.
01:01:36You have a latchkey to my flat?
01:01:38Your flat?
01:01:39So he has installed you here now, the moment my back is turned.
01:01:42Oh, gain you my land, that is exactly...
01:01:43You can't pull my wool over my eyes this time.
01:01:45My clothes, my best hats and dresses.
01:01:48Oh, I'm so sorry.
01:01:49I had no idea.
01:01:51So many of them were out of style.
01:01:52What?
01:01:53We'll take this for instance.
01:01:56I paid $200 for that dress.
01:01:58But how long ago?
01:01:59A month ago.
01:01:59Oh, I saw that model almost two years ago.
01:02:01But you must be mistaken.
01:02:02That's a very smart frock.
01:02:03What do you know about it?
01:02:04Well, I don't know anything about it.
01:02:05What if you took this off?
01:02:06What are you doing?
01:02:07There, that's better, don't you think?
01:02:09You have ruined it.
01:02:10And this hat.
01:02:12It's supposed to be amusing.
01:02:13Well, it is.
01:02:14I suppose this is supposed to be amusing too.
01:02:20Sonny!
01:02:22Sonny!
01:02:24Hello.
01:02:26You got your hat on.
01:02:27Oh, thanks.
01:02:29This time you have gone too far, renting my flat to this woman, letting her wreck my clothes.
01:02:34Oh, look.
01:02:35Look at my beautiful new meat coat.
01:02:37Oh, you're an old darling to give it to me.
01:02:40Oh, help.
01:02:41I didn't see you.
01:02:42Now, I know what you're thinking, but you're wrong.
01:02:44Maybe you can explain this.
01:02:46Well, of course.
01:02:46We're business partners, see?
01:02:48And this woman?
01:02:49He's my daddy.
01:02:50What?
01:02:50I was afraid you wouldn't marry me if you knew the truth.
01:02:52You know, I'm not 42.
01:02:54You don't think I ever believed that, do you?
01:02:57Well, then you two are married.
01:02:58Yes.
01:02:59Unfortunately.
01:03:00Mother!
01:03:01What?
01:03:02Oh, but then this diamond clip is really yours.
01:03:05Yes, but you must keep it as a wedding gift.
01:03:08Oh, I wouldn't think of such a thing.
01:03:10But I insist.
01:03:15Hello?
01:03:16Hello, Dad.
01:03:17Dad, is Janie there?
01:03:18Yes.
01:03:19She's moved in.
01:03:20It seems there's been some small misunderstanding.
01:03:22I know.
01:03:23I just heard about it.
01:03:24Gosh.
01:03:25That was Sonny.
01:03:26Where is he?
01:03:27He's still at your house.
01:03:28Oh, good heavens.
01:03:29I'm distressing.
01:03:30Get over there at once.
01:03:31Goodbye, Daddy.
01:03:37How far to the museum?
01:03:39Two blocks over.
01:03:40Okay.
01:03:40I've got to meet my wife there.
01:03:42Hi, taxi.
01:03:43Wait a minute.
01:03:45I'm sorry, but this is very urgent business.
01:03:47You'll have to drop me.
01:03:47It won't be far out of your way.
01:03:48Jump in.
01:03:49Anything for a man of service.
01:03:51Cover your looks.
01:03:53But I still don't understand where all the money came from.
01:03:56I sold the copper stock.
01:03:58I thought you said the stock was worthless.
01:04:00It is.
01:04:00But we made Peter think it isn't.
01:04:02Peter?
01:04:02That's the other fellow that Janie didn't marry.
01:04:04Oh.
01:04:08Thanks.
01:04:09Thanks very much.
01:04:09Pleasure.
01:04:10Anytime.
01:04:13Hey, taxi.
01:04:15Would you mind dropping me somewhere?
01:04:17I'm in such a rush.
01:04:18Well, Shirley, where are you going?
01:04:19Oh, thanks so much.
01:04:20Have a my place.
01:04:21Oh, that's funny.
01:04:21I just came from there.
01:04:23I got...
01:04:29Well, where's Janie?
01:04:30She just went home to join you.
01:04:31Oh, gosh.
01:04:32Johnny!
01:04:32Just a minute.
01:04:33I understand everything now.
01:04:35Here's the money back for your stock.
01:04:37Gosh, Dad, thanks.
01:04:38Well, you got it back just like you said you would.
01:04:39Now, how about a little drink, huh?
01:04:41Oh, no thanks.
01:04:41I just want to get home.
01:04:42A little drink first.
01:04:43Come on.
01:04:43A little appetizer, huh?
01:04:47Well...
01:04:53Hey!
01:04:57Come on.
01:04:57Let's get out of here before another invasion.
01:05:00Come on.
01:05:04Mrs. Fyfe.
01:05:05Where's Mr. Fyfe?
01:05:06He just rushed out a few minutes ago.
01:05:08Rushed out?
01:05:09In an awful hurry.
01:05:10And your mother went a few minutes later.
01:05:12Said she was going to see the new apartment.
01:05:16I can't see.
01:05:17Have I ever lived through this?
01:05:20I'm sorry.
01:05:21I've got to go back.
01:05:22Oh, why can't you drop me at the museum?
01:05:25But that's out of my way.
01:05:26But my wife is waiting there.
01:05:28How long have you been married?
01:05:30Oh, eight years.
01:05:31She'll wait.
01:05:32Yeah, I'm afraid so.
01:05:38Hello.
01:05:38Oh, hello.
01:05:40Janie isn't with you?
01:05:42No.
01:05:42Isn't she with you?
01:05:43No, we missed each other.
01:05:44Well, why don't you go and get her?
01:05:45Oh, I'm on my way.
01:05:46Oh, will you phone her, please, and tell her to wait there?
01:05:48Yes, that's a good idea.
01:05:49And here's your money back for the stock, just as Dad promised.
01:05:51And Janie has the money that you lost at the 59 Club.
01:05:54Sonny, dear, wait.
01:05:55We came to explain about the money.
01:05:57Well, not now, please.
01:05:57There's no time.
01:05:58Oh, darling.
01:05:58Peter and I just concocted that story.
01:06:00He didn't take my T and W stock.
01:06:02And I didn't really lose 50,000 at the 59 Club.
01:06:05We just made that up.
01:06:07You just made that up?
01:06:08Yes.
01:06:09But where did you get that Atlas International copper stock?
01:06:11Oh, he just gave me that to make the story more plausible.
01:06:14And then bought it back from Leslie for $70,000?
01:06:16Certainly not.
01:06:17I never bought it back.
01:06:19I didn't think it mattered who bought it as long as I sold it.
01:06:21Who did buy it?
01:06:23Boughton.
01:06:25The president of Boughton and Company.
01:06:27Yes, he outbid me.
01:06:28Then we swindled him out of all this money.
01:06:31Dad, do you mean that there really wasn't a new law discovered at the Atlas International copper mines?
01:06:36Why, of course there wasn't.
01:06:37But you didn't ask Boughton to buy that stock.
01:06:39He horned in trying to zip you out of it.
01:06:41Well, just the same, all this money's got to be given back.
01:06:44I'll take care of it, Sonny.
01:06:46Oh, thanks, Dad.
01:06:46Please, phone Janie, will you?
01:06:53Oh, you have been sweet.
01:06:55Psst, get going quick.
01:06:57My motor's dead.
01:06:58Oh, I'm not surprised.
01:07:02Janie!
01:07:05Sonny!
01:07:08Janie, where...
01:07:11Hurry, can't you, before they get through playing tag.
01:07:16Taxi?
01:07:20Oh, hello.
01:07:21Back to that fireplace.
01:07:23So what do you do, just ride back and forth?
01:07:25Mm-hmm.
01:07:26Passes the time.
01:07:40I used to sing, too, when I was a little girl.
01:07:43Really?
01:07:44No!
01:07:45No!
01:07:47No!
01:07:47No!
01:07:47No!
01:07:49No!
01:07:52No!
01:07:53No!
01:07:53No!
01:07:56No!
01:07:56Even then, the critic said, I should go far.
01:07:59Oh, I can understand that.
01:08:00You sing, too?
01:08:01No.
01:08:02You answer your own questions, don't you?
01:08:05A!
01:08:05The bells, I love bells.
01:08:07Telephone bells.
01:08:07Door bells.
01:08:08I find that so exciting!
01:08:11Come in.
01:08:13Press, news.
01:08:14Tell us about your divorce, Madame Schmidt-Anna.
01:08:16There is going to be no divorce.
01:08:18But your manager telephoned us.
01:08:19Come in. You can see for yourself.
01:08:21My husband will give you a drink.
01:08:22Hey, that's not a bad idea.
01:08:24Gentlemen from the press, darling.
01:08:26Help yourselves, boys. Step right up.
01:08:32So long. Thanks a lot.
01:08:34We'll see you again sometime, we hope.
01:08:35I don't doubt it.
01:08:37I'm not taking any more chances. I'm walking.
01:08:39Okay, 680.
01:08:40What?
01:08:42We're off to Briarcliff, Flory. Tell Mother, will you?
01:08:45I will if you like, madam.
01:08:46But you're so little time left.
01:08:47If I was you, I wouldn't want to spend any more of it in motor cars.
01:08:51What would you do, Flory?
01:08:53Nothing wrong with Miss Janie's apartment right here.
01:08:55That's right, there isn't.
01:08:57Thanks, Flory.
01:08:58Well, I certainly had a lot of fun for it.
01:09:01I waited so long for you at that museum.
01:09:04They began to take me for a regular exhibit.
01:09:07Where have you been?
01:09:08I wouldn't dare to tell you.
01:09:29Where are they?
01:09:30Miss Janie and their prostitute?
01:09:31Yes, yes, yes, of course. I must see them at once.
01:09:33Has anything happened, sir?
01:09:34Good news.
01:09:34I've arranged this transfer to another ship, but he must leave immediately.
01:09:38Immediately?
01:09:38Yes, yes. Where are they?
01:09:40They, they've gone...
01:09:42Come, come, come.
01:09:43To Briarcliff.
01:09:45Briarcliff.
01:09:46Bad luck.
01:09:47Yes.
01:09:54You know, we have a lot in common.
01:09:56So?
01:09:56You're a Wagnerian singer?
01:09:58I'm a Wagnerian singer.
01:09:59What have you sung Wagner?
01:10:01I sang Tannhauser at college.
01:10:03Tannhauser?
01:10:03Which role did you sing?
01:10:04I was the third pilgrim from the left in the pilgrim's chorus.
01:10:07I'll show you.
01:10:12La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
01:10:35lalala...
01:10:40lalala...
01:10:54lalalala...
01:11:02lalala...
01:11:04Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

01:12:34Oh
