00:00:20BANDY
00:02:47Daisy!
00:02:55I want help!
00:03:17Oh!
00:03:18Oh!
00:03:23Oh!
00:03:25Oh!
00:03:26Oh!
00:03:28Oh!
00:03:29Oh, if it isn't one thing, it's everything.
00:03:38Daisy Brumstead, don't you ever have those people in this house again.
00:03:45You needn't go up there looking for sympathy.
00:04:00Good morning, Miss Brumstead.
00:04:03Alvin, what are you doing sticking your head through there?
00:04:06I thought you were another dog.
00:04:07I just wanted to show Baby Dumplin' my firecracker.
00:04:10Indeed.
00:04:11Well, Baby Dumplin' isn't allowed to have any firecrackers.
00:04:14So you just get your head out of that crack and take your firecracker home and crack it there.
00:04:19Besides, the Fourth of July isn't until tomorrow.
00:04:29No.
00:04:46Bondi!
00:04:48Bondi!
00:04:50Bondi!
00:04:52What is it, Daddy?
00:04:54Go get your Mommy, quick, hurry!
00:04:56Mommy, Mommy!
00:04:57Hey!
00:04:57What is it? What's the matter?
00:04:59Come here, come here quick.
00:05:01I might have forgotten my hand.
00:05:02Why?
00:05:02It's a bone.
00:05:04Oh, I'm coming apart.
00:05:06Nonsense.
00:05:07You don't come apart till you're 40.
00:05:14Daisy's?
00:05:15Oh, what a relief.
00:05:16Of all the silly things.
00:05:18You'd better hurry and get dressed or you'll be late.
00:05:22Daddy, did you get the firecrackers?
00:05:24Shh!
00:05:24They children.
00:05:26They're children.
00:05:28Where are they?
00:05:54Here we go.
00:06:01See?
00:06:03Are we going to have fun?
00:06:06What does this do?
00:06:08Oh, that's a Roman camel.
00:06:09Remember last year?
00:06:10It makes pretty lights.
00:06:12Pretty lights.
00:06:13We want noise, Daddy.
00:06:16We'd better put them all back.
00:06:18We might get caught.
00:06:18Can I keep just this one?
00:06:21You promise not to shoot it?
00:06:24Okay.
00:06:27Ah, ah, ah.
00:06:28What's the matter?
00:06:29This is the day she sleeps under the bed.
00:06:33Oh.
00:06:37Here.
00:06:50Here.
00:06:55Here.
00:07:04Here.
00:07:06Here.
00:07:07Here.
00:07:14Here.
00:07:16Mm-hmm.
00:07:51Oh, I'm as hungry as a horse.
00:07:58Uh-oh.
00:08:02Blondie, this paint is still sticky.
00:08:05That second coat didn't seem to be drying fast enough,
00:08:08so I put on a fresh coat last night.
00:08:11Oh.
00:08:13Oh.
00:08:17Oh.
00:08:18Come here.
00:08:19Oh.
00:08:24Oh.
00:08:26Oh, man.
00:08:33Huh?
00:08:46Oh.
00:08:51Now, take your foot off.
00:08:55There.
00:08:57Now, how are you going to get the plate off?
00:09:06Oh.
00:09:10Oh.
00:09:14Oh.
00:09:16Oh.
00:09:20Where do I sit, Mommy?
00:09:22Oh, you take the stool, baby.
00:09:24Dagwood, help them out.
00:09:26Please, Daddy.
00:09:28I'm getting pretty big for this helping business.
00:09:31Oh.
00:09:42Dagwood!
00:09:43I'm sorry, dear.
00:09:44You almost got set to do it, isn't it?
00:09:47Dagwood.
00:09:48Huh?
00:09:48Dagwood.
00:09:50Dagwood, don't be silly.
00:09:52Oh, Dagwood, stop this.
00:09:54What?
00:09:55Dagwood, what are you doing?
00:09:57I'm just dancing.
00:09:58Oh, Dagwood, this is silly.
00:10:01Dagwood.
00:10:02Please, don't be so ridiculous.
00:10:04Dagwood, if you don't...
00:10:05Oh, wait.
00:10:06So, this is what it's all about.
00:10:09Oh, me.
00:10:11I might have known.
00:10:12You promised me faithfully
00:10:14that you would not buy any firecrackers.
00:10:16Now, listen, Blondie, don't get excited.
00:10:18I will, too, get excited.
00:10:19I spend the best years of my life raising a family.
00:10:22And in one day, you blow it up.
00:10:26Now, Blondie, I was only going to...
00:10:28This settles it.
00:10:30You mean you're going to get a divorce again, Mommy?
00:10:33Oh, shh.
00:10:34Now, listen, darling.
00:10:35If you're so sad on not having fireworks,
00:10:38then we won't have fireworks.
00:10:40We certainly won't have any fireworks.
00:10:42But, dear, you don't want your son to grow up to be a sissy.
00:10:46No, but I want him to grow up.
00:10:49Now, dear, there comes a time
00:10:51when a man's judgment is better than a woman's.
00:10:54Now, I think...
00:10:55Sit down.
00:10:56Sit down.
00:11:01You sit down, too, baby.
00:11:03That doesn't make sense.
00:11:07Eat your breakfast.
00:11:29What are you crying for, Mommy?
00:11:31Mommy, you won the argument.
00:11:39It certainly is good coffee.
00:11:41I married a good cook.
00:11:43I don't mean just a good cook, though.
00:11:46A good mother, a good wife.
00:11:49I guess sometimes we forget
00:11:50how lucky we are, baby dumpling.
00:11:52Who's lucky?
00:11:54Oh!
00:12:01How'd you like to eat out tomorrow night, Blondie, huh?
00:12:05Hmm?
00:12:09You know,
00:12:10have a nice, quiet dinner somewhere,
00:12:12and then we could...
00:12:13Nice, quiet where?
00:12:15Because this whole town
00:12:16will just be puffing and fizzling.
00:12:24Ann Hanna's.
00:12:26Ann Hanna's?
00:12:27Mother's sister.
00:12:29She lives about ten miles past Crosley.
00:12:31You'll remember her, Doug, right?
00:12:33I'll never forget her.
00:12:34I mean, I remember her.
00:12:36It's always calm and quiet out there.
00:12:39We'll go.
00:12:41No.
00:12:43Is he still there?
00:12:45He's still eating breakfast.
00:12:46That doesn't mean a thing.
00:12:48He got egg all over my uniform last time.
00:12:52This is one time
00:12:53that he's not gonna run into me.
00:12:56Aren't you afraid you'll be fired
00:12:57for holding up the mail?
00:12:59Better to be held up than picked up.
00:13:01I can show you how to deliver it,
00:13:03and he'll never even see you.
00:13:05How?
00:13:07Is it worth a quarter to you?
00:13:11Open the dining room window
00:13:13and drop the mail in there.
00:13:19You're a very bright young man.
00:13:23Fourth of July in the country.
00:13:26No noise, no explosions,
00:13:28no danger.
00:13:30Just peace and quiet.
00:13:34Baby Dumpling,
00:13:35why are you making such a face?
00:13:37Dagwood, look!
00:13:44Dad, look, look out!
00:13:46Daddy!
00:13:47Hi, Daddy!
00:13:49Huh?
00:13:50I got him!
00:13:51Throw it out!
00:13:52Throw it out!
00:13:55Throw it out the door!
00:13:59It's still in the kitchen.
00:14:01Daddy, Daddy!
00:14:03Here it is!
00:14:04Look out!
00:14:05Stay back!
00:14:06Oh!
00:14:07Oh!
00:14:10What's going on?
00:14:12What do you know about that?
00:14:16Move!
00:14:17Move!
00:14:18Move!
00:14:18Look out!
00:14:19Oh!
00:14:22Here, hold it.
00:14:24Oh!
00:14:26Oh!
00:14:26What's wrong?
00:14:26The window!
00:14:27Throw it out the window!
00:14:28Move in!
00:14:29Oh!
00:14:32Oh!
00:14:33Oh!
00:14:35Oh!
00:14:37Oh!
00:14:38Oh!
00:14:38Oh!
00:14:44What do you take for that?
00:14:46Two gifts!
00:14:46It's a deal!
00:14:52I never was so frightened in all my life!
00:14:55I'm all out of breath!
00:14:57Are you tired too, Daisy?
00:14:59Oh!
00:15:00Oh!
00:15:01I'm completely exhausted!
00:15:04Mommy, Daddy!
00:15:06Let's don't talk for a while, baby!
00:15:07Let's just sit here and collect ourselves!
00:15:10But, Mommy, I...
00:15:11No, baby dumping, do as your mommy says!
00:15:40I'm sorry.
00:15:42I'm going to go to the chair!
00:15:48Stagwood, look!
00:15:50What?
00:15:51Look at yourself behind!
00:15:53Now, that's silly. Look at my selfie, huh?
00:15:56Huh?
00:15:59I'll go get your great suit.
00:16:22Oh! I'm late!
00:16:29It's a bus! I'm late! Goodbye!
00:16:32Stagwood! Stagwood! Stagwood!
00:16:36Stagwood! Stagwood!
00:16:37You come right back here!
00:16:38What is that? Now I've missed my bus!
00:16:41What do you want?
00:16:42Haven't you forgotten something?
00:16:44What?
00:16:45You forgot to kiss me goodbye.
00:16:47Oh!
00:16:56Well, how does it work, Ollie?
00:16:58Everybody pulls a slip of paper out of a hat.
00:17:00The one that pulls a slip marked, you're it, is it?
00:17:03But you're writing, you're it, on all of them.
00:17:08That's right, Mary.
00:17:09But everybody will say they got a blank?
00:17:10And then Stagwood will think that he's in.
00:17:12Oh, but that's awfully unfair, Ollie.
00:17:15Yeah, but awfully smart.
00:17:17Right, fellows?
00:17:18Right.
00:17:19Here he comes. Get ready.
00:17:20Hello, Stagwood.
00:17:21Hiya, Stagwood.
00:17:22Well, Stagwood, we're just in time.
00:17:24In time for what?
00:17:25Well, you see, we were talking it over,
00:17:26and we decided that we ought to have the whole weekend
00:17:28instead of just tomorrow.
00:17:29But tomorrow's only Thursday.
00:17:31Sure.
00:17:31So we want Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, too.
00:17:34Well, I don't think Mr. Did it...
00:17:35Wouldn't hurt to ask him.
00:17:36No, I guess not.
00:17:38Well, I'll see you later.
00:17:39Hey, hey, hey.
00:17:39Wait a minute.
00:17:40We're just going to draw a lot to see who does it.
00:17:43No, no.
00:17:44Every time I play that silly game, I lose.
00:17:47Well...
00:17:47Huh?
00:17:48In that case, we'll give you first chance.
00:17:50Here.
00:17:50Give me your hat.
00:17:51Now, reach in and pull out a slip.
00:17:52The unlucky guy gets the slip marked, you're it.
00:17:55Here, let me hold the hat.
00:17:56I think that must have something to do with it.
00:17:58No, I'll hold it.
00:17:59Oh, go ahead, Ollie.
00:17:59Let him hold it.
00:18:00Hold it up high, Dagwood.
00:18:01Now, remember, just one piece of paper.
00:18:04Okay.
00:18:05Here goes.
00:18:13Put the hat down.
00:18:14What's the use?
00:18:15He's already seen it.
00:18:20Well, why don't you speak up?
00:18:22Good morning, Mr. Dennis.
00:18:23Good morning, Mr. Dennis.
00:18:24That's not what's on your minds.
00:18:26You're all thinking you've been working hard the last month,
00:18:29and you're entitled to the entire weekend,
00:18:31instead of just the fourth.
00:18:32Isn't that so?
00:18:33Oh, no.
00:18:35Well, you're right.
00:18:39Oh, gee, thanks, Mr. Dithers.
00:18:41Oh, that's great, boss.
00:18:42Gee whiz, the whole weekend.
00:18:44But one of you must stay here
00:18:46to take care of any emergency that might arise.
00:18:48Oh, that's all right.
00:18:49Mr. Dithers will draw lots for you.
00:18:51You see, we were just going to draw lots
00:18:53to see who would have to ask you for the weekend, though.
00:18:55Oh, I see.
00:18:57And so we'll just go ahead now,
00:18:58and whoever's the unlucky guy...
00:19:00Well, I think I understand,
00:19:01but let me hold the hat.
00:19:03Oh, don't let any of the boys in it, Mr. Dithers.
00:19:06You see, one of the slips has your it written on it.
00:19:09Yes, so it has.
00:19:11One of the slips has your it written on it all right.
00:19:14Well, you see, Mr. Dithers, it was just a gag.
00:19:17On the contrary, I think it's a splendid idea.
00:19:19Why, I used to play this game when I was at college.
00:19:21Yeah.
00:19:22Must have lost on it half a dozen times before I...
00:19:25Yes, it's the same old game.
00:19:27It hasn't changed a bit.
00:19:28Now, who thought of it?
00:19:31Oh, Ollie.
00:19:33Well, Ollie, you thought of it,
00:19:35so you shall have the first chance.
00:19:38All right, I'll stay.
00:19:43I don't get the joke.
00:19:44Yeah, well, it's in your hat.
00:19:54That's all right, Mrs. Woodley.
00:19:55You go ahead, and I'll wait right here till you call me back.
00:20:03Hello, Mrs. Woodley.
00:20:04No, it's me, Blondie, Dagwood.
00:20:08But it isn't, Mrs. Woodley.
00:20:09It's me.
00:20:11Of course I can prove it.
00:20:13Mr. Dithers just gave us a holiday till Monday morning.
00:20:16Monday morning?
00:20:17Oh, that's fine.
00:20:19Then you're off already.
00:20:21Well, I'll wire Aunt Hannah that we're leaving this afternoon,
00:20:23and I'll have us all packed by the time you get here.
00:20:26Packed?
00:20:26Okay.
00:20:28Oh, Blondie, don't pack that bag in the closet.
00:20:31I want to do it myself.
00:20:33All right, dear.
00:20:34But please get off the phone so I can wire Aunt Hannah.
00:20:37Goodbye.
00:20:45Hello, Western Union.
00:20:47Take this message.
00:20:49Who?
00:20:51Mrs. Woodley.
00:20:53Well, for goodness sakes.
00:20:55When did you go to work for the Western Union?
00:20:58She wouldn't have Thanksgiving without a turkey.
00:21:02She wouldn't have Easter without a new hat.
00:21:05And she wouldn't have Christmas without a tree.
00:21:09But 4th of July?
00:21:11No.
00:21:12No.
00:21:13No firecrackers.
00:21:14Gotta get them out of here somehow.
00:21:17Daddy and I'll both catch up.
00:21:27Excuse me, Mrs. Woodley.
00:21:28Maybe something's happened.
00:21:41Jump, Daisy.
00:21:43Jump again, Daisy.
00:21:46Daisy, don't put...
00:21:48Oh, you're all right.
00:21:49Sure.
00:21:50Jump, Daisy.
00:21:53Jump again.
00:21:59What was that noise?
00:22:00Oh, nothing.
00:22:01I just got down in the suitcase.
00:22:06Watch Daisy, Mommy.
00:22:09Jump, Daisy.
00:22:11Jump again.
00:22:13Jump, Daisy.
00:22:15Jump, Daisy.
00:22:17Jump, Daisy.
00:22:18Back again.
00:22:33Jump, Daisy.
00:22:41I guess she's kind of tired.
00:22:44Guess we better get this thing out of the way.
00:22:49Just a minute, young man.
00:22:51I'll be right back.
00:22:52Where are you going with that suitcase?
00:22:56We've got to pack, haven't we?
00:22:59You pack your own suitcase.
00:23:02This is Daddy's.
00:23:10Daddy will be home in a minute, and I want to have everything...
00:23:15What was in that suitcase?
00:23:30So that's why your Daddy didn't want me to pack his suitcase.
00:23:34Shame.
00:23:35Shame.
00:23:37They couldn't be from last 4th of July, could they?
00:23:42I'll put an end to this once and for all.
00:24:16I'll be right back.
00:24:18She drowned them.
00:24:26Blondie!
00:24:30Blondie!
00:24:33Upstairs, dear
00:24:41Hello, dear
00:24:43Am I in plenty of time?
00:24:45Uh-uh, you're too late
00:24:47We're all packed, dear
00:24:48Except your things
00:24:50Then I'll get right to her
00:24:56Is there something I can do for you, dear?
00:24:58No, I'm finished
00:24:59Go ahead
00:24:59Oh, yeah
00:25:06Do you really think this trip
00:25:08Is a good idea, Bondi?
00:25:09You'd better get packed
00:25:11Or we'll miss the train
00:25:13Yeah, sure
00:25:21Aren't you getting things
00:25:22Awfully must that way?
00:25:23No, I always pack like this
00:25:28Now it'll be easier
00:25:29Yes, sir
00:25:29Here
00:25:30Okay
00:25:30Here
00:25:31Here
00:25:32Here
00:25:33Here
00:25:34Here
00:25:34Here
00:25:58Julie
00:26:04We don't have to stand for this.
00:26:05We'll tell her.
00:26:06You tell her.
00:26:07All right.
00:26:10Hey, aren't you coming?
00:26:14My own flesh and blood, a coward.
00:26:16I'm not a coward.
00:26:17I'm just afraid.
00:26:26Now, see here, Bonnie.
00:26:27You can't do this to us.
00:26:28I spent money for those firecrackers.
00:26:31You can't do it.
00:26:32That's all.
00:26:34Dagwood, listen to me.
00:26:37Dear, I realize how much the 4th of July means to you
00:26:40because I know how much it means to baby.
00:26:43You're nothing but a big kid yourself.
00:26:45But just this once, I wish both of you would look at it from my side.
00:26:49If anything would happen to you or to baby Dumplin',
00:26:53I just wouldn't want to live.
00:26:56If I were to ask either one of you to do something for me that was hard to do,
00:27:00you'd jump at the chance to do it, wouldn't you?
00:27:03But I'm asking something that's easy.
00:27:05And I'm asking it just for you, not for me.
00:27:09Please, Dagwood.
00:27:11Please, baby Dumplin'.
00:27:12Won't you give up this idea of fireworks?
00:27:19Now, don't do it grudgingly.
00:27:22Let's all go out to Aunt Hannah's and have a quiet, peaceful holiday.
00:27:26We can get plenty of sunshine and fresh air and rest and...
00:27:33And we'll come back with a whole new outlook on life.
00:27:36What do you say?
00:27:38Okay.
00:27:40Baby Dumplin'.
00:27:41Okay, Mommy.
00:27:43Well, now that's better.
00:27:47Has anybody anything on his mind?
00:27:49I haven't anything on my mind, but I've got something in my pocket.
00:27:57Here, Mommy.
00:28:04As long as we're all together like this, nothing can happen to us.
00:28:24Oh, dear, we had to leave in such a hurry, but I guess we have everything.
00:28:28Certainly we have everything.
00:28:32There.
00:28:34Be careful.
00:28:35Come on.
00:28:37Now, remember, baby Dumplin', don't say anything about D-A-I-S-Y.
00:28:41Okay, Mommy.
00:28:42Can I say anything about T-I-C-K-E-T-S?
00:28:46The tickets.
00:28:47Oh, I'll go get them.
00:28:49You get on the train, Blondin'.
00:28:50Oh, oh, there's the money.
00:28:52Oh.
00:29:10Baby Dumplin' and I certainly will be glad when we get started.
00:29:14We did.
00:29:16We did what?
00:29:17We did started.
00:29:20Oh.
00:29:20Oh, the train, it's moving.
00:29:23Conductor, conductor.
00:29:24Come on, baby Dumplin'.
00:29:25What is it, Madam?
00:29:26I'm leaving my husband and it isn't time yet.
00:29:28What?
00:29:29I mean, my husband went to get our tickets and we're leaving him.
00:29:32Don't get excited, Madam.
00:29:33We're not leaving yet.
00:29:34I will, too, get excited.
00:29:35Look, the train's moving.
00:29:37That's a train backing in on the other track.
00:29:39Huh?
00:29:42Oh.
00:29:51Baby Dumplin', what do you mean by telling Mommy the train is moving?
00:29:56Ex-way, paper!
00:29:59Ex-way, paper!
00:30:09Ex-way, paper!
00:30:11Ex-way, paper!
00:30:13Ex-way, paper, the latest news!
00:30:18Blondie!
00:30:20Blondie!
00:30:34Here, baby.
00:30:36Oh.
00:30:37Oh.
00:30:39Now, let's see.
00:30:40I told them not to deliver any milk and I canceled my appointment with the hairdresser.
00:30:44I sent the telegram.
00:30:54Oh.
00:30:55Oh, I guess everything's all right.
00:30:57Who are you waving at, baby Dumplin'?
00:30:59Daddy.
00:31:00Oh, Daddy.
00:31:02Where is he?
00:31:03Over there.
00:31:05Dagwood!
00:31:06Oh.
00:31:17No!
00:31:18Over here!
00:31:19Blondie!
00:31:20Blondie!
00:31:21What are you doing over there?
00:31:24Blondie!
00:31:25Blondie!
00:31:26Wait a minute!
00:31:27Wait a minute!
00:31:27Wait a minute!
00:31:28I'm going to go!
00:31:45Don't you?
00:31:46Bondie!
00:31:47Hey!
00:31:50Bondie!
00:31:52No!
00:31:52Hey!
00:31:55Bondie!
00:32:01Bobby!
00:32:09Bobby!
00:32:15Oh, dear, I knew he'd miss it.
00:32:18That's why I wanted to get down to the station early.
00:32:21He has my pocketbook, too.
00:32:23I haven't any money to pay our fare.
00:32:24This is embarrassing, isn't it, Mommy?
00:32:28It's terrible.
00:32:29Now, how on earth am I going to...
00:32:31Oh, Dagwood! You made it!
00:32:35Where is it?
00:32:37Did you get the tickets?
00:32:40Yeah.
00:32:42Tickets, please.
00:32:44Oh, they're in your purse.
00:32:49Hold.
00:32:53Would you mind holding this a minute?
00:32:55Here.
00:32:59There.
00:33:01Look, I can't hold any more of these.
00:33:03Oh, I'm sorry.
00:33:06Here, will you hold this a minute?
00:33:08Here.
00:33:08Here.
00:33:14Oh!
00:33:15What's the matter?
00:33:16These are the keys I've been looking for since last May.
00:33:20Oh!
00:33:21What's the matter?
00:33:22There's that letter I gave you to mail three weeks ago.
00:33:24Oh!
00:33:25What's the matter?
00:33:26Tickets, please.
00:33:27Oh, yeah.
00:33:28Come on.
00:33:29Here.
00:33:30Come on.
00:33:38These tickets are for Crosley.
00:33:41That's where we're going to, Crosley.
00:33:43You're on the wrong train.
00:33:45Wrong train?
00:33:46Wrong train?
00:33:46This is an express.
00:33:47We don't stop at Crosley.
00:33:48But you do go through Crosley, don't you?
00:33:50Yes, madam.
00:33:51At about 60 miles an hour.
00:33:53Can't you stop there just this once?
00:33:55Sorry.
00:33:57Where's your first stop?
00:33:58Kingsley.
00:34:00But that's 70 miles past Crosley.
00:34:0272.
00:34:05Dagwood, don't argue with the man.
00:34:07We planned on reaching there tonight.
00:34:09You're lucky if you get there tomorrow.
00:34:14But what about the baby?
00:34:16The baby?
00:34:19Oh, there's a baby.
00:34:22He's not very healthy.
00:34:23That's why we're taking him to the country.
00:34:25And if he has to spend the night in some strange hotel
00:34:28without the proper milk and everything,
00:34:31why, I just don't know what'll happen.
00:34:33Kingsley's a pretty big town, madam.
00:34:35I don't think you'll have any trouble.
00:34:36He has to have special food.
00:34:38He's different than any baby you ever heard of.
00:34:41And he's teething.
00:34:42Yes.
00:34:43Well, I just don't know what we'll do.
00:34:47I just don't know what we'll do.
00:34:49Well, it's against all the regulations,
00:34:51but I suppose in an emergency like this.
00:34:53Oh, thank you.
00:34:55Poor little fellow.
00:34:56We don't want to be responsible
00:34:57if anything happened to him.
00:35:07I'm sorry, Mr. Conductor,
00:35:09but we have people waiting to meet us in Crosley.
00:35:12Well, you and your teething baby
00:35:14can wave to him as you pass through
00:35:15from the baggage car.
00:35:24I told you it wouldn't work.
00:35:27Come on, baby.
00:35:37Can we rest a while now?
00:35:39We'll never get Dan Hanna sitting down.
00:35:41We'll never get Dan Hanna standing up.
00:35:44We'll never get Dan Hanna's.
00:35:48I'm tired.
00:35:49I didn't rest well last night.
00:35:51Dagwood, how can you say that?
00:35:53You slept like a log.
00:35:55I know, but I dreamed I was awake.
00:35:57You ought to be ashamed.
00:35:59If you hadn't overslept,
00:36:00we wouldn't have missed the bus.
00:36:01Just look at baby.
00:36:03And he hasn't even had his nap.
00:36:05I'll take it tonight when I go to bed anyway.
00:36:08That's Mommy's good boy.
00:36:10When we get to Aunt Hanna's,
00:36:11you can have a nice big cold glass of buttermilk.
00:36:14on the 4th of July.
00:36:19Oh, oh.
00:36:32Oh.
00:36:33Dagwood, give baby his hat.
00:36:35Huh?
00:36:36Oh, here.
00:36:46Here comes another one.
00:36:47Oh.
00:36:52Would you like a ride?
00:36:53Oh, we'd love one.
00:36:55Where are you going?
00:36:56To Crosley.
00:36:57We're visiting my aunt.
00:36:58Oh, we'll take you there.
00:36:59That is, if you don't mind stopping her for a few minutes at Weehawk.
00:37:03We've got a little business to attend to there.
00:37:05Oh.
00:37:06Oh, we don't mind.
00:37:07Oh, that's fine.
00:37:08Get right in there.
00:37:09It's awfully nice of you.
00:37:10Uh-huh.
00:37:11Yes.
00:37:11Dagwood.
00:37:12You're not at home.
00:37:14Oh.
00:37:16Lovely day.
00:37:18Yes.
00:37:18It is a very nice day.
00:37:22Come here, Daisy.
00:37:24Now, come here.
00:37:24Come here.
00:37:25Come on.
00:37:27There.
00:37:31We won't be long, folks.
00:37:32Oh, that's fine.
00:37:33Come here.
00:37:35Come here.
00:37:52Come here.
00:37:56We won't be long, folks.
00:37:57Oh, that's all right.
00:37:58Don't hurry.
00:38:04Aren't they sweet?
00:38:05Yeah.
00:38:06And they're so in love.
00:38:12Dagwood.
00:38:13What's the matter?
00:38:14I know something that you don't know.
00:38:16What is it?
00:38:17I'll give you a hint.
00:38:18What do you think of when I say old shoes and rice?
00:38:22Chop Suey.
00:38:24No, dear.
00:38:25A wedding.
00:38:26I told you they were in love.
00:38:28Yeah.
00:38:30Oh, Dagwood.
00:38:31Isn't it beautiful?
00:38:33I don't see anything.
00:38:35Oh, no, baby.
00:38:36I don't mean anything you can see.
00:38:41Remember when we were married?
00:38:43Of course I do.
00:38:44I can still see you.
00:38:46You were all in white.
00:38:47And your mother.
00:38:48There.
00:38:49You look like an angel.
00:38:52And you were so handsome.
00:38:58What's the matter, Mommy?
00:39:00Oh, I don't know, dear.
00:39:03Just makes me think that someday you'll meet a pretty girl and do the same thing.
00:39:07Not on Fourth of July.
00:39:19Oh, is the wedding over?
00:39:21Oh, no.
00:39:22We need another witness.
00:39:24And Millie thought maybe if you wouldn't...
00:39:25Oh, I'd be delighted.
00:39:27Oh, that's swell.
00:39:27That's swell.
00:39:30Oh, I hope you don't mind.
00:39:31It'll all be over in a minute.
00:39:32That's what the dentist said when he pulled my tooth.
00:39:37Well, I guess your mommy's happy.
00:39:39She finally got in on the wedding.
00:39:41What do people do at a wedding, Daddy?
00:39:44Oh, I don't know.
00:39:45When your mommy and daddy got married, we had a big wedding cake.
00:39:48I remember that.
00:39:50Grandma and Aunt Dot were there.
00:39:53No, no.
00:39:54That must have been an anniversary cake.
00:39:59What's an anniversary cake, Daddy?
00:40:02Well, you see, a wedding cake.
00:40:05Well, you can't have a wedding cake at an anniversary because you're already married.
00:40:10And an anniversary cake is...
00:40:13Well, everybody eats up the wedding cake.
00:40:17But nobody eats an anniversary cake.
00:40:20I mean that there's nobody at the anniversary.
00:40:23What I'm trying to say is that the wedding cake is the only cake that the husband doesn't have to
00:40:28pay for.
00:40:29And that's an anniversary cake.
00:40:33I don't give it.
00:40:45Okay, Zeke.
00:40:51I don't give it.
00:40:52Is he going to the wedding, Daddy?
00:40:54Certainly not.
00:40:56No one goes to a wedding with a shotgun.
00:41:02Father, please, please.
00:41:03I'm surprised you take part in this thing, Newt.
00:41:05Hey?
00:41:05Now listen, you're surprised you take part in...
00:41:08Huh?
00:41:08Oh, never mind.
00:41:10Come on, Millie.
00:41:10No, Father, I won't go.
00:41:12Take your hands off her.
00:41:13Go ahead with the ceremony.
00:41:15Charlie, do you take Millie for your wife?
00:41:17You must think I'm a fool.
00:41:18I do.
00:41:19Come on, Millie.
00:41:19Now, wait a minute now, Mr. Tucker.
00:41:21I've had just about...
00:41:22You've got to listen to reasons.
00:41:23Millie, do you take Charlie for your husband?
00:41:25You must think I'm crazy.
00:41:26I do.
00:41:27Now look, you...
00:41:28Stand back there or I'll blow a hole in you.
00:41:30You can't shoot him in the middle of the ceremony.
00:41:32By authority vested in me by the state, I pronounce your man and wife.
00:41:36It ain't legal.
00:41:37Get in that car.
00:41:39Get in the car.
00:41:43I've had just about enough of this.
00:41:45Stand back, boy.
00:41:52Oh, boy.
00:41:53Fireworks.
00:41:54Next time I'm shooting lower.
00:41:59I'll have this in null as soon as the courthouse opens.
00:42:03Dad, look!
00:42:04Baby Dumplin, come back here!
00:42:07What'll he do to them?
00:42:08What'll they do?
00:42:10What'll I do?
00:42:11Oh, he's all right.
00:42:12He's not mad at them.
00:42:12He's just sore at me.
00:42:14But where's he taking them?
00:42:15Well, your aunt's place is right near his.
00:42:17He'll probably drop them off right there.
00:42:19But you're sure they'll be safe?
00:42:20Oh, sure, I'm sure.
00:42:22Sure, Tucker.
00:42:23He's not such a bad guy.
00:42:24Just a little bit cantanker sometimes.
00:42:25Oh.
00:42:26Well, I'll get you a car somewhere.
00:42:28I'll take you right over.
00:42:28Hey, Newt!
00:42:30Hey, Newt!
00:42:30Where can I get a car?
00:42:32I'll rent you mine for $5.
00:42:35Can you imagine that old guy trying to hold us up for $5?
00:42:38Oh, now, Charlie.
00:42:40$5 ain't much.
00:42:41And that includes my marrying fee.
00:42:46He's done nothing but cost me money since the day he came.
00:42:50He in his crazy oil well.
00:42:51Father, that's unfair.
00:42:53You brought him here to drill for oil yourself.
00:42:56I'm sorry to interrupt.
00:42:57You keep out of this.
00:42:59The government man said there was oil in the back 60s.
00:43:02So where does he drill the well?
00:43:04Right under your bedroom window.
00:43:06A half-baked pipsqueak.
00:43:08He's not a pipsqueak.
00:43:09He's the youngest engineer in this state to ever win a scholarship.
00:43:12Scholarship.
00:43:13He doesn't know an oil well from a hole in the ground.
00:43:17Father, the oil's there.
00:43:18He'd have found it if you hadn't fired him.
00:43:21Look, you see, mister, yesterday we were on the wrong plane, and today I'm in the wrong...
00:43:26Shut up.
00:43:27Shut up.
00:43:35Why don't you call him?
00:43:36Maybe he could do something about it.
00:43:38Hey, Noop!
00:43:41Hey, Noop!
00:43:42You!
00:43:43You!
00:43:44What's all the hootin' and tootin' about?
00:43:47We can't get it started.
00:43:49Yep, it is too bad you got parted.
00:43:52No, I...
00:43:52We can't get it started.
00:43:55I agree.
00:43:56Too bad you got parted.
00:43:58Too bad we got parted.
00:44:00Oh, so you can't get it started.
00:44:03Yes.
00:44:04You got the switch on?
00:44:08Yes.
00:44:09Well, turn it off.
00:44:13Now open the door.
00:44:15I don't think he heard what I said.
00:44:18Now make like you're going to get out.
00:44:31Good-bye!
00:44:32Good-bye!
00:44:33Good-bye!
00:44:35Good-bye!
00:44:38Good-bye!
00:44:40Good-bye!
00:44:40Good-bye!
00:44:44I wonder should I told him how to stop it.
00:44:49That's not true.
00:44:51Charlie offered to put his own money into the well if you'd let him go ahead.
00:44:54You're just stubborn.
00:44:55Stubborn?
00:44:56Let me tell you something, young lady.
00:44:57Oh!
00:45:00Shucks.
00:45:00I didn't get to see it.
00:45:02You were standing in the way.
00:45:04Hmm?
00:45:06What is this?
00:45:24Reeve!
00:45:25What have you been doing all day?
00:45:27Well, Mr. Tucker...
00:45:28Duh, Mr. Tucker me.
00:45:29I told you I wanted this thing torn down, loaded in the truck and off my place by sundown.
00:45:34Oil well.
00:45:35Every time I look at it makes me mad enough to kill.
00:45:38Get out of that car and get in the house.
00:45:42$40,000 sunk in a hole.
00:45:45Hey, you!
00:45:48Who?
00:45:48Me?
00:45:49Us?
00:45:50Where do you think you're going?
00:45:52Well, you said to go...
00:45:55You wouldn't talk like that if you didn't have that shotgun in your hand.
00:46:00Now then, what do you want to say, young man?
00:46:01I want to say...
00:46:03My wife's in Weehawken.
00:46:05I miss her.
00:46:06What are you doing in my car?
00:46:07Well, your daughter was giving us a ride to the Henderson place.
00:46:11She's my wife's Aunt Hannah.
00:46:13Hannah?
00:46:13You mean Aunt Henderson's wife?
00:46:15Yeah.
00:46:16They live on the next farm.
00:46:17Gee, how do I get there?
00:46:19Walk.
00:46:23Which way?
00:46:23Hey!
00:46:24Fast!
00:46:25Yeah.
00:46:26Come on, baby Duffler.
00:46:27Come on, Daisy.
00:46:29Come on.
00:46:35That oil well.
00:47:09Uncle Abner, wouldn't you like some more potatoes?
00:47:11No.
00:47:12I've had the fill.
00:47:13Can I also want to tell Aunt Hannah?
00:47:16Well, of course you can, darling.
00:47:18All you want.
00:47:19Let Aunt Hannah fix your bread for him, hmm?
00:47:22He takes after our side of the family, Blondie.
00:47:25The Millers have always been good eaters.
00:47:27Well, why is it that the people always want to eat more in the country than they do in the
00:47:31city?
00:47:31Wreckless because they have more time and more to eat.
00:47:35I don't feel like I could hold another bite.
00:47:39Now, pass this chicken, will you, Uncle Abner?
00:47:43There you are.
00:47:48I wish there was more of me.
00:47:50Thank goodness there isn't.
00:47:52You've got jam all over you now.
00:47:54Just look at yourself.
00:47:55How can I, Mommy?
00:47:57I'm all in the same face.
00:48:01Charlie, why don't you come and have something to eat?
00:48:04It'll do you good.
00:48:05No, thanks, Mrs. Bumstead.
00:48:08I just don't feel like it.
00:48:09Oh, now, Charlie, you take things too serious.
00:48:12Old man Tucker will forget all about his grudge as soon as he cools off.
00:48:16I don't know.
00:48:18Remember an old man Hart shoot his horses wrong?
00:48:20Well, what of it?
00:48:22Tucker ain't spoke to him since.
00:48:24And I think that was 15 years ago.
00:48:26Shh.
00:48:27Well, he ain't.
00:48:29Dagwood, we've got two things to boast about around these parts.
00:48:33Old man Collins can hold his liquor longer, and old Tucker can hold a grudge longer than any two men
00:48:38in the county.
00:48:39Now, Abner, that ain't so.
00:48:41You know, if he'd just given me two days more, I could have brought that well in.
00:48:45Then Millie and I would have had a real nice wedding, like regular people.
00:48:49I know it, Charlie.
00:48:51But why don't you sit down and have something to eat?
00:48:56I know what I'd do if I was Charlie.
00:48:58What?
00:48:59I'd wait until it got good and dark, and I'd get myself a ladder, and I'd go over there and
00:49:03get my wife.
00:49:04Hello?
00:49:05Yes.
00:49:05Why, Dagwood, that's a wonderful idea.
00:49:08You really think that might work?
00:49:10Of course.
00:49:11Might work.
00:49:12Well, I know, but how will Millie know? She's not expecting me.
00:49:15Oh.
00:49:16Tucker's got a phone, ain't he?
00:49:18Yes.
00:49:18Well, we got one, too.
00:49:20Well, don't you see, Mr. Henderson, he'd never let me speak to her.
00:49:24Let me get her on the telephone, then you can talk to her after I get her.
00:49:27Certainly.
00:49:28Yeah.
00:49:29Might work.
00:49:30Oh, it'll work.
00:49:31Where's the telephone, Aunt Hannah?
00:49:34Oh, what's the number?
00:49:36Uh, 5-6-4-3.
00:49:37Now, quiet everybody, or you'll hear us.
00:49:40Come on, Daisy.
00:49:41I need some fresh air.
00:49:44Tell her what time, or she'll be late.
00:49:45Tell her to hang something white in the window so you'll know what room she's in.
00:49:49Better ask which room old Tucker's in, too.
00:49:51Shh.
00:49:51Everybody.
00:49:52Hello.
00:49:54Mr. Tucker?
00:49:55Well, this is the Vice President and Treasurer of the Quilting Club.
00:49:59And I was wondering if you couldn't tell your daughter, Millie, would it be too much trouble?
00:50:04Please.
00:50:05Wait.
00:50:06I bet you'll be able to hear that-
00:50:07Shh.
00:50:09Hello, Millie.
00:50:10Hold the line a minute, will you?
00:50:14Hello, Millie.
00:50:19How are you, dear?
00:50:21Oh, I've been worrying about you so much, Millie.
00:50:24Look, I've been trying to get a hold of you for the last, I don't know how long.
00:50:32I feel just like Cuban.
00:50:35Listen to Baby Dumplin'.
00:50:38Aren't you glad we have him out here away from all the dangers of a Fourth of July?
00:50:45Baby Dumplin', what are you doing in that car?
00:50:48I'm making like I'm going for a drive.
00:50:51Well, make like you're going to get out.
00:50:53Oh, sure.
00:50:58Oh, Baby Dumplin'.
00:51:01Baby Dumplin'.
00:51:02Baby Dumplin'.
00:51:03Baby Dumplin'.
00:51:04Baby Dumplin'.
00:51:04What's the matter?
00:51:08Where is he?
00:51:10Where'd he go?
00:51:12Dad, look out!
00:51:14What's the matter?
00:51:23Look out, Daddy!
00:51:25You're in the way!
00:51:28Oh!
00:51:29He's gone!
00:51:31Come out, Baby.
00:51:32Oh, wait!
00:51:36Whee!
00:51:41Baby Dumplin!
00:51:43Whee, this is fun!
00:51:46This is fun, all right!
00:51:48All right, this is fun!
00:51:49Whee!
00:51:50Baby Dumplin!
00:51:52Get off the key!
00:51:54Stop this baby!
00:51:56Get off the key!
00:51:57Stop him!
00:51:59Stop him!
00:52:02Come on!
00:52:17Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy!
00:52:20Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy!
00:52:24Whee!
00:52:25Whee!
00:52:26Whee!
00:52:29Whee! It's fine!
00:52:37Look out!
00:52:40No, no, no! Not bad!
00:52:48Whoopee! Whoopee! Whoopee!
00:52:50This is fine!
00:52:51Help me, people! Don't hit it!
00:53:01Rodney!
00:53:10Over there! No, over there!
00:53:31Oh, baby! You scared the daylights out of us!
00:53:35Oh, baby! Are you all right?
00:53:37Something's sticking me!
00:53:39Oh, turn around. Let me see.
00:53:41Oh! Why, it's a needle!
00:53:44Oh, a needle!
00:53:47Hmm?
00:53:55Well, I certainly do want to thank you folks for the car and everything.
00:53:57That's awfully swell, have you?
00:53:58Is there plenty of gas in the car, Abner?
00:54:00Pull out!
00:54:00Well, hope it works out all right, huh?
00:54:03Good luck!
00:54:04Bye!
00:54:06Oh, Dagwood, I almost wish it was us. It's so romantic.
00:54:10Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
00:54:14What happened?
00:54:16Look out, Daisy!
00:54:17I stepped on something here and...
00:54:18Well, help him up, Dagwood!
00:54:20Let me help you, Sally!
00:54:21What on earth made you...
00:54:26Daisy, shame!
00:54:29Easy now.
00:54:30No, I'm all right. It just...
00:54:32Say, I must have turned my ankle.
00:54:34I'll help you in the house, please.
00:54:35No, now, wait a minute. Look, now, listen, I can't do that.
00:54:38Millie's waiting. Everything's planned.
00:54:40But how can you drive the car and climb the ladder and everything?
00:54:43Yeah, how can you?
00:54:44I've got an idea.
00:54:46Dagwood, you can do it for him.
00:54:48Oh, now, see here, Blondie.
00:54:49Well, it was your idea in the first place.
00:54:51Oh, but Blondie...
00:54:52Don't be selfish, Dagwood.
00:54:54Uncle Abner, take off his shoes.
00:54:55No, wait a minute.
00:54:58Charlie can sit in the car and you can drive.
00:55:00How does it feel now, Charlie?
00:55:02I don't know. It seems much easier now.
00:55:04Oh, it feels better now!
00:55:06Oh! Oh! Oh!
00:55:07What?
00:55:07No, no, I can't even stand on it.
00:55:09Help him in the car, Dagwood.
00:55:10Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:55:12All right.
00:55:13Oh!
00:55:14Come on, baby Dumplin.
00:55:16You get in the back of Charlie.
00:55:19Come on, Daisy.
00:55:21All right, Dagwood, you take the wheel.
00:55:23Oh, Blondie, you know I get dizzy on a ladder.
00:55:26Dagwood, get in the car.
00:55:33Might work.
00:55:48Now, darling, have you got everything all straight?
00:55:50Yeah, I guess so.
00:55:51We'll be waiting right here.
00:55:52All right.
00:55:53Oh, don't forget there'll be something white in the window.
00:55:57Okay.
00:56:00Dagwood, do you know where the ladder is?
00:56:02Are you sure?
00:56:03It's...
00:56:04Where is it?
00:56:05It's leaning against the house.
00:56:07Oh.
00:56:09Hey, wait a minute.
00:56:10Now, listen now.
00:56:11Now, whistle real soft so she'll know who you are.
00:56:13All right, all right.
00:56:16Dagwood.
00:56:17Blondie, it'll be daylight before I get started.
00:56:20Oh, all right.
00:56:21Go on, go on.
00:56:23Daddy.
00:56:25Daddy.
00:56:25Huh?
00:56:36Oh, doggone it.
00:57:00Pull.
00:57:03buddy.
00:57:11Huh?
00:57:15Pull.
00:57:17Pull.
00:57:19Pull.
00:57:19Pull.
00:57:20Pull.
00:57:22Peace and quiet.
00:57:24Oh, where's the ladder?
00:57:52Let's go.
00:58:19Oh, no. Millie will never recognize his whistle.
00:58:24Daisy! Daisy!
00:58:26Oh, dear, she'll ruin everything.
00:58:28I won't get her, Mommy.
00:58:29All right, dear, but be quiet and hurry right there.
00:59:01I'll be right back.
00:59:06I'll be right back.
00:59:17Here, Daisy!
00:59:20Here, Daisy!
00:59:31Hey, Millie.
00:59:42Gee, Millie, what'd you go to bed for?
00:59:44I thought you'd be all ready.
00:59:47Now, don't be frightened.
00:59:48Charlie sprained his ankle, and I came to get you in his place.
00:59:51Hurry up and get dressed, and I'll turn my back.
00:59:54Come on.
00:59:54I'll be ready in a minute.
00:59:56Better be quiet, or you'll wake up that old goat with the shotgun.
01:00:08Daisy, come down from there.
01:00:12Keep still, or they'll hear you.
01:00:15I'll come up and get you.
01:00:27You'd better speed it up, or they'll think something's wrong.
01:00:36Aren't you ready yet?
01:00:37Sure, I'm ready.
01:00:52Oh, dear, I think something's happened.
01:00:57Oh, dear.
01:01:11Oh.
01:01:11Oh.
01:01:12Oh, what happened?
01:01:13I don't know.
01:01:14Where's Charlie?
01:01:14Over by the car in the road.
01:01:18Let's go.
01:01:45Bondi, get back.
01:01:48Everything's okay.
01:01:49I think you went around the other way.
01:01:53Put up your hands.
01:01:55Who, me?
01:01:56Yes, you.
01:01:58What do you mean by sneaking up on me like that?
01:02:01Sneaking up on you?
01:02:02You're the sneak.
01:02:03A kidnapper and trespasser, too.
01:02:05I've got the right to shoot you down like I would any other thief.
01:02:08You wouldn't talk that way if you didn't have a shotgun in your hand.
01:02:11That's slow.
01:02:17Oh, Dagwood, what happened?
01:02:18Why did...
01:02:19Oh, Dagwood, are you fighting again?
01:02:22He tried to shoot me and I popped him.
01:02:23Is he hurt?
01:02:24I don't know, but let's get out of here before he comes to.
01:02:27Where's Baby Dumplin'.
01:02:28Huh?
01:02:28Baby Dumplin'.
01:02:29I don't know.
01:02:30Baby Dumplin'.
01:02:31Baby Dumplin'.
01:02:32Baby Dumplin'.
01:02:33Baby Dumplin'.
01:02:34Baby Dumplin'.
01:02:35Baby Dumplin'.
01:02:35Baby Dumplin'.
01:02:36Baby Dumplin'.
01:02:36Baby Dumplin'.
01:02:37Baby Dumplin'.
01:02:37Why did I ever let him out of my sight?
01:02:39Here I am, Mommy.
01:02:40Oh, get back, get back, you'll fall.
01:02:44No, I won't.
01:02:52Let's go, David.
01:02:53Dagwood, go up and bring him down.
01:02:59What happened?
01:03:00What happened?
01:03:02Daisy, let's go.
01:03:03Look out.
01:03:04Look out, Daisy.
01:03:06Get back.
01:03:08Thanks, Daddy.
01:03:11Baby, are you hurt?
01:03:12Get off, Daisy.
01:03:14Oh, darling, I thought this was the end.
01:03:18Oh, honey.
01:03:27I wouldn't have run away and left him on the roof if I'd seen him.
01:03:31I'm sorry, Blondie, it was all my fault.
01:03:33No, it wasn't.
01:03:34It was mine.
01:03:35No, it wasn't.
01:03:36You had nothing to do.
01:03:37Don't argue, Dagwood.
01:03:38Every single solitary thing that's happened to us on this trip has been my fault.
01:03:42Oh, now, Blondie, that isn't...
01:03:43It is, too.
01:03:44I've been a silly, cowardly woman.
01:03:46What's a few firecrackers compared to all the danger I've dragged us into?
01:03:50But, dear, you didn't know.
01:03:51I didn't know anything.
01:03:53I took us away from home because I was afraid.
01:03:55I guess every mother's afraid.
01:03:57But it's her duty to face it.
01:03:59And it's her duty to hide it, too.
01:04:00I give you my word, Dagwood.
01:04:03I'll never run away from things again.
01:04:06If Baby Dumpling wants to do something, I'll just let him do it.
01:04:10Because there must be someone who looks out for little boys, besides their mother.
01:04:15Blondie, you mustn't.
01:04:18Dagwood, you're so understanding.
01:04:21Does all this mean I can have some firecrackers, Mommy?
01:04:24Maybe, dear.
01:04:31Daddy.
01:04:33I've been such a fool.
01:04:35I have a match.
01:04:37No, no, Baby Dumpling.
01:04:38You know your mommy doesn't want you to have matches.
01:04:41Give him a match.
01:04:45Here.
01:04:52Where's my powder puff?
01:04:54I...
01:04:55I...
01:04:56Here, throw it!
01:04:57What?
01:04:57What?
01:04:58What?
01:04:58Here.
01:04:59What?
01:05:11It's dynamite.
01:05:13Hey, I'm afraid you're going to have to help me.
01:05:17Oh, lie down.
01:05:19Oh!
01:05:19Oh, Dad, come on.
