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.

00:34:58So.
00:34:58Thank you, Ben.
00:35:04You know, I've seen that girl somewhere before.
00:35:08She's a very particular friend of the director
00:35:10who's making this picture.
00:35:12He sticks her in every scene he can.
00:35:13Mother, shh.
00:35:14Oh.
00:35:15Somebody might hear you.
00:35:18Why, hello there.
00:35:20Hello, Peter.
00:35:21Why, Janie, I never expected to see you here.
00:35:24Look, why don't we all go in the other room?
00:35:25Sonny left her just as they were starting on their honeymoon.
00:35:28He didn't leave me, Mother.
00:35:30He merely had to attend a simple pressing business
00:35:32for the government.
00:35:33Oh, yeah?
00:35:33Well, I don't trust that fellow.
00:35:35He's the most honest person I know.
00:35:36You can believe every word he says.
00:35:38And he's on a government mission?
00:35:39He certainly is.
00:36:05I won!
00:36:06I won $70,000.
00:36:07If you wouldn't, my partner may suspect something.
00:36:09Get out of here.
00:36:12Numerology, I never knew you could depend on her before.
00:36:14Yeah, yeah, give me some.
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 and 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? Oh, yes, yes, yes, that's right.
00:36:32Oh, hello, Senator. How are you? Nice to see you.
00:36:34Here's a woman.
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, I took it once from a red-haired Egyptian with green eyes.
00:37:09I think he was an Irishman, really.
00:37:10Oh, mother, 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 croupier 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.
00:37:28Just a minute, boy.
00:37:31Who is it that you're 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?
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.
00:38:02I'm my 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.
00:38:15Why 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.
00:38:31Seventy-three thousand eight hundred and fifty dollars.
00:38:34Here's ten dollars, Sonny.
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?
00:38:41Now, here's the fifty thousand dollars back that your mother-in-law lost here.
00:38:45And here's twenty-three thousand eight hundred and fifty dollars for you.
00:38:48It's a little short.
00:38:49Well, so am I.
00:38:50So we won't quibble.
00:38:52That'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 to rent a first aid.
00:39:02I'm sure you'll both be very happy.
00:39:04There's nothing like married life.
00:39:06Nothing.
00:39:06Oh, hello, my lamb.
00:39:08You're just in time to congratulate my young friend here.
00:39:11Friend?
00:39:11Uh, he was married today.
00:39:13You look very pleased about it, judging by that kiss.
00:39:16Oh, don't be a silly filly.
00:39:18That kiss was simply a...
00:39:19Just 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.
00:39:34Come, honey bun.
00:39:35I want to dance with my newest, handsomest husband.
00:39:38He looks good.
00:39:39Yeah, but...
00:39:39Okay.
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.
00:39:50Another 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.
00:40:00And that woman he's married to, she's half wildcat.
00:40:04She's not watching us, is she?
00:40:06If you think not, try.
00:40:07Get it 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?
00:40:19Oh, I didn't.
00:40:20Lady, the name is Dan Hannigan.
00:40:22If it matters.
00:40:23Oh, come on, darling.
00:40:24Let'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 do 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.
00:40:41If you do, she'll scream.
00:40:43Well, there must be something you'd like to try.
00:40:45I know.
00:40:45A 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.
00:41:31You're doing a lot of fun.
00:41:32That was a perfect one, J.
00:41:33Well, will you look at that.
00:41:37Come on, Les.
00:41:38Sing it out.
00:41:39Oh, don't do that, please.
00:41:40You'll attract too much attention.
00:41:42I suppose he's got a good reason for that, too.
00:41:44Oh, undoubtedly.
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, he is.
00:41:51He's obviously obeying orders trying to find out how he wants to do it.
00:41:54out something. Well, she can teach him plenty. I loved you too little, too late. Baby, maybe
00:42:03who can tell? I guess that I gambled with fate, not too wisely, nor too well. One little
00:42:16lovers raw. And look what's happened now. I never dreamed, dear, that it would mean farewell.
00:42:28Bye-bye, baby, baby, bye-bye. I knew that romance was a game that I shouldn't underrate. But
00:42:40here I am left with the same old blues I had to contemplate. I didn't count the cost. I
00:42:53tossed a coin and lost and found that I loved you too little and too late. Charlie. I was
00:43:06too upset before to offer you my congratulations. Thank you so much. Come to the bar and we
00:43:12celebrate. Oh, well, I'm very sorry, but I can't go to the bar just now. No, you see, there's
00:43:18a woman there he'd rather not meet. Yes. Some other time. Yes, we'll give you a ring. Look,
00:43:30flowers and diamond clip. My clip? Yes. No, where? Sure. On the table, but a woman.
00:43:37No, stop. Sorry to disturb you. I am genius with Anna. You're what? Why won't you sit
00:43:43down? Thank you. Allow me. I have been admiring the diamond clip. It is beautiful, isn't it?
00:43:48It's a wedding gift. Indeed. Given to you by a person named Five, perhaps? Why yes, my
00:43:55husband. Your husband? Impossible. He's my husband. Your husband? He married me six
00:44:00months ago. Legally? What do you think? Then he's got two wives. What? He married this
00:44:05child today. I'll go and get him. You wretch. He said he had to buy a present for a
00:44:10wedding, but he didn't say his wedding. I don't believe a word of all this. That's right.
00:44:14Darling, neither do I. Why should he marry her? Why shouldn't he marry me? Well, he must be
00:44:18considerably younger. This is too much. He's ten years older than I am, at least. I must say he
00:44:24doesn't look it. It's a mother for Peter. Well, that's my opinion. Well, anyway, six
00:44:28months ago, he was riding the waves. Oh, there, Sonny, there. I can't help what you
00:44:33told my father. But Jenny, I told you. You can spare the time. Your wife would like
00:44:37to have a few words with you. You see? I was expecting this. But he's married to her.
00:44:43They told me so. Oh, no. Then he's got three wives. Bless my soul, Jenny. Jenny, I suppose
00:44:50you've been wondering. Quite right. We've all been wondering. You recognize
00:44:53Mother Sventana, then? Oh, sure. Oh, Sonny. Did you or didn't you tell me you
00:44:57were married to that girl you were just dancing with? Sure I did. But, Sonny. But
00:45:01this woman says you are married to her. Oh, that's my pleasure. You admit that you
00:45:04married to both of them? Well, of course not. But you just said you were married to
00:45:07that other girl. Yes, I know I said so. So what about Mary Sventana? I understand you
00:45:11married to her, too. Who says so? She says so. I never said so. Oh, you certainly did.
00:45:17Well, I must say I am. It certainly seemed as though you did. We are all trying to confuse
00:45:21the issue deliberately. But I see through it. It's an order from Spinelli. Okay, he owns
00:45:26the joint. Come on, boys. Back on the stand. You are all in a league with my husband. Oh, shh.
00:45:31Everybody's looking. You needn't be so violent. Violent? I'll show you how to be violent.
00:45:38We are privileged to have with us this evening Madame Genia Sventana,
00:45:43famous Wagnerian prima donna who will sing for us the evening star from Tannhauser.
00:46:16Oh, what have you got against Spinelli? First you rob him at the table and now this. How would
00:46:19you like to go in on another deal with me? I listen to all propositions. Come.
00:46:27That song brings back such poignant memories. He played it at your dear father's funeral.
00:46:34Oh, was it our old wedding? Wedding? Gosh, that reminds me as if I ever forgot.
00:46:40Wait a minute, young man. How 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, you better hurry up and change, darling.
00:46:56I know, Mums. We'll be right on. Come along, Jimmy. I'll give you a nightcap.
00:47:00I still don't understand any of it. For me, it's most confusing.
00:47:03Most. Do you know what I do when things get too complicated?
00:47:07I put them out of my mind completely. And in time, they clear themselves up.
00:47:10In time? Hmm.
00:47:16Oh, look at that. Quarter to six. Well, we've lost 18 of our 48 hours already.
00:47:21Heavens. I won't be five minutes.
00:47:24Oh, say, honey. Hmm? I've got an idea.
00:47:27Why don't we stay here the rest of tonight and start on our honeymoon in the morning?
00:47:31We can't stay here with Mother and the Senator and the servants about, or I wish we had an apartment.
00:47:36Yeah, so do I. I spoke to Dad about it. He said he'd see if he could find one for
00:47:40us.
00:47:41Of course, he's hardly had time as yet.
00:47:43I know. Don't worry, darling. We can be in Briar Piffen 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.
00:47:58Oh. Oh.
00:48:02Hello? 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.
00:48:15Yeah, 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, Carol. Hey.
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? Oh, 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 we worked on that guy in St. Louis.
00:48:57Could be. I could always get the phony Wall Street Chronicle printed.
00:49:00Uh-huh. And I can...
00:49:01Come 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?
00:49:09Well, not if he knew. We'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 big as 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,
00:49:57they get under his big wonderful sombrero.
00:50:01When it's hot as a door,
00:50:05every lady loves the shady caballero.
00:50:08Yahoo!
00:50:09They all come around the market
00:50:11to gather around his cart.
00:50:13They push and shove for making love
00:50:16within this such an art.
00:50:18This man with the big sombrero
00:50:19no bigger than his morrow.
00:50:45They'll dig which by the sea cantissae.
00:50:48No cheerful...
00:50:53Uh, what...
00:50:54It's one day it quieren?
00:50:54That lonesome only casket
00:50:55to gather around his cart
00:50:57Yeah!
00:50:58They push and shove for making love
00:50:59When in this such an art
00:51:01This man with his sombrero, no bigger than his heart.
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?
00:51:23I have some pride. What else could I do?
00:51:26He's no good anyway, never 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, do you hear? Never.
00:51:40I love him, the dog.
00:51:42Then why have you packed? Why 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, Wagner, he's my inspiration.
00:52:24Sonny!
00:52:26Sonny!
00:52:27Sonny!
00:52:28Wake up!
00:52:30Come on, let me alone, will you, Bob?
00:52:32I got a liberty pass.
00:52:33What?
00:52:34Oh, yes.
00:52:35Sonny!
00:52:35Poor darling.
00:52:37It's Janie!
00:52:40Oh, Janie.
00:52:41Janie.
00:52:42You've been gone for hours.
00:52:44I know.
00:52:46It's morning.
00:52:48Our wedding night is over.
00:52:50I 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're crowding up 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 would 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, that'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,
00:53:49and her mother might tip Peter off and spoil everything.
00:53:51Just tell her it's urgent and a big surprise for her.
00:53:54Surprise?
00:53:56Yeah, but that...
00:53:57Well, Dad, but...
00:53:59Well, okay.
00:54:00If you're sure, it'll only take a few minutes.
00:54:02Yes, I'll meet you.
00:54:03Okay.
00:54:04The Beverly Arms, yes.
00:54:05Yes, Dad.
00:54:06I'll...
00:54:06I'll come along.
00:54:07Yeah.
00:54:09Janie!
00:54:10Chronicle Extra!
00:54:11Latest 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 ten 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 ten bucks to settle this paper as a gag.
00:54:22New load discovered at Atlas International Copper Mine.
00:54:25They wouldn't fall for that, would they?
00:54:27Well, I'm gambling ten 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's 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!
00:54:40Wall...
00:54:45Can I help you, sir?
00:54:46I just want to establish a credit here so I can pull my orders in.
00:54:48Oh, certainly, sir.
00:54:49To what amount?
00:54:50Oh, say, uh, ten thousand dollars.
00:54:52In what name, sir?
00:54:53Uh, Sonny Fife.
00:54:55Sonny Fife.
00:54:56That's right, Sonny 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, it pays.
00:55:24You get a fifteen dollar raise from today.
00:55:27Well, hello.
00:55:28Hello, Sonny.
00:55:28Hello, Dad.
00:55:29Now, you remember Peter Warrington.
00:55:31The third?
00:55:32Certainly.
00:55:32Say, I bought that stock from Peter, as you suggested,
00:55:34and I got the whole thing for a dollar sixty-five.
00:55:36Quite a bargain.
00:55:37My taxi fare.
00:55:38I just came along to see what he's gonna 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.
00:55:47Now, how 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.
00:55:59Don'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 just...
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,
00:56:12and I shall mention it personally to Mr. Bowden.
00:56:15You wait here a minute, son,
00:56:16and I'll have our cashier make you want 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.
00:56:23I 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.
00:56:40This is the most spectacular strike in ten years,
00:56:43and it is generally predicted that Atlas...
00:56:47That Atlas International Copper Stock will soar to new heights
00:56:50on 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.
00:57:00Let me have a look at that.
00:57:02It's a Bouton and Company check, all right.
00:57:04Any time you get hold of any more of that stock, just bring it in.
00:57:07We're on the market for all we can pick up.
00:57:09Now, you'll have to excuse me.
00:57:10I've got to see Bouton 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.
00:57:42I 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 today 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 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. Bouton'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,
00:58:14and 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
00:58:19wouldn'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
00:58:28until I heard that you wanted it.
00:58:29Very well, then.
00:58:30$50 a share.
00:58:34Mr. Bouton, you 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
00:58:40of 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.
00:58:47It 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.
00:58:57That'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,
00:59:03do we, Bouton?
00:59:04Oh, certainly not.
00:59:06Well, it was nice seeing you.
00:59:08But you can cash a Bouton 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, Bouton.
00:59:22I'll give you $55 a share for that stock.
00:59:24Oh, but I couldn't do that, could I?
00:59:25Well, $60, then.
00:59:26And you can come right along with me now to my bank and get the money.
00:59:29Oh, but Colonel Phyfe 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. Bouton?
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. Phyfe is 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.
01:00:06I'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
01:01:01Sonny mentioned.
01:01:02So I thought I'd surprise the both of you and just move right in.
01:01:05Well, you'd certainly surprise me.
01:01:07I thought I'd get settled and take a nap before Sonny got here.
01:01:09But I simply couldn't rest in all this disorder.
01:01:12It wasn't like this before you came.
01:01:14Oh, say.
01:01:15Do 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.
01:01:41The moment my back is served.
01:01:42Oh, gain you my land.
01:01:43That is exactly...
01:01:43You can't pull my wool over my eyes this time.
01:01:45My clothes.
01:01:46My best heads 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.
01:01:53We'll take this for instance.
01:01:56I paid $200 for the dress.
01:01:58But how long ago?
01:01:59A month ago.
01:01:59Oh, I saw that model almost two years ago.
01:02:01You 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.
01:02:05Why did you trip 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.
01:02:14Well, it is.
01:02:15I 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.
01:02:28This time you have gone too far.
01:02:31Renting my flat to this woman.
01:02:32Letting 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.
01:02:43But 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?
01:02:49Oh, he's my daddy.
01:02:50What?
01:02:50I was afraid you wouldn't marry me if you knew the truth.
01:02:53You 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?
01:03:19Yes.
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.
01:03:41I'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?
01:04:03That's the other fellow that Janie didn't marry.
01:04:04Oh.
01:04:08Thanks.
01:04:09Thanks very much.
01:04:10Pleasure anytime.
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 in my place.
01:04:21Oh, that's funny.
01:04:21I just came from there.
01:04:23I get...
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.
01:04:33And just send everything now.
01:04:35Here's the money back for your stock.
01:04:37Gosh, Dad.
01:04:38Thanks.
01:04:38Well, you got it back just like you said you would.
01:04:39Now, how about a little drink on it, 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?
01:04:46Well...
01:04:52Well...
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?
01:05:09He's in an awful hurry.
01:05:10And your mother went a few minutes later.
01:05:12Said she was going to see the new apartment.
01:05:16Have a seat.
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?
01:05:30No.
01:05:30Eight years.
01:05:31She'll wait.
01:05:32Yeah, I'm afraid so.
01:05:38Hello.
01:05:38Oh, hello, dear.
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.
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.
01:05:58I mean, Peter and I just concocted that story.
01:06:00He didn't take my T&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.
01:06:26Yes, 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 jip 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.
01:06:45Oh, thanks, Dad.
01:06:47Please, 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!
01:07:46No!
01:07:47Of course I was much better then.
01:07:49Could be.
01:07:50Everyone said I should do something with my voice.
01:07:52But they didn't say what.
01:07:53I was only six when I first sang in public.
01:07:56And even then, the critics 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?
01:08:05Ah, the bells.
01:08:06I love bells.
01:08:07Telephone bells.
01:08:07Door bells.
01:08:08I find them so exciting.
01:08:11Come in.
01:08:13Press.
01:08:13News.
01:08:14Tell us about your divorce, Madame Smetana.
01:08:16There is going to be no divorce.
01:08:18But your manager telephoned us.
01:08:19Come in.
01:08:19You can see for himself.
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.
01:08:28Step right up.
01:08:32So long.
01:08:33Thanks 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.
01:08:38I'm walking.
01:08:39Okay.
01:08:40680.
01:08:40What?
01:08:42We're off to Briarcliff, Flory.
01:08:44Tell Mother, will you?
01:08:45I will if you like, Madame.
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 Janey's apartment right here.
01:08:55That's right.
01:08:56There 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 Janey and Mr. Horsenter?
01:09:31Yes, yes, yes, of course.
01:09:32I must see them at once.
01:09:33Has anything happened, sir?
01:09:34Good news.
01:09:34I've arranged his transfer to another ship, but he must leave immediately.
01:09:37Immediately?
01:09:38Yes, yes.
01:09:39Where are they?
01:09:40They...
01:09:41They'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?
01:10:05I was the third pilgrim from the left in the pilgrim's chorus.
01:10:07I'll show you.
01:10:35I'll show you.
01:10:44Tannhauser is the first pilgrim from the south.
01:10:46Now, it is too hard to sit for eftersomarf.
01:10:56Who will exist?
01:10:56Yuck, it's beautiful.
01:10:58There truly escuchая马 Gordon Burger Indima from the first pilgrim's chorus.
01:11:07I've never ever heard nothing.
01:11:17The End
01:11:44Oh
01:12:07Oh
01:12:37Oh
01:12:38Oh
01:12:38Oh
01:12:38Oh
