00:11:49Yeah

00:11:50Say, what's the idea of leaving this place looking like a pig pen?

00:11:54You not only do that, but you throw my telegrams all around the floor

00:11:57In the hope that I'll starve to death while I'm looking for them

00:12:01That telegram was from Uncle Claude

00:12:02And he's coming here

00:12:04He may even be in the hotel now

00:12:06And you know I wanted you to make a good impression on him

00:12:09If he doesn't think that I've married a real domestic little homemaker

00:12:13Well, he'll never give us a cent

00:12:15Oh, Tom, I'm awfully sorry

00:12:16I didn't know that telegram was from Uncle Claude

00:12:19Oh, dear, don't you worry, darling

00:12:21I'll make an impression on you, all right

00:12:23I can't fail to make an impression on him

00:12:26Girls, get me out of here, will you?

00:12:28I've got to get over it right away to my Uncle Claude

00:12:30Can you imagine my embarrassment?

00:13:03I've got to get over it right away

00:13:10Hello

00:13:11Hello, come on in, Tommy

00:13:15I was just getting a nose pull of your dinner

00:13:18As long as I can't get a mouthful of my own

00:13:20Oh, you poor boy, haven't you eaten yet?

00:13:23All we have at our house is a lot of bologna

00:13:26That's a shame

00:13:28You know, Letty's starving me to death

00:13:31Oh, well, you stay here and have dinner with Harry and me

00:13:35That is, if he ever shows up

00:13:37Great

00:13:44Funny, isn't it?

00:13:45You're always waiting for your husband to come home

00:13:49And I'm always waiting for my wife

00:13:55Sometimes they're both going to show up on time

00:13:56And then we can start a quartet

00:13:58Well, I don't see anything so funny and always waiting

00:14:04Some wise guy once said

00:14:08That people marry their opposites

00:14:11I guess that's right

00:14:15I wonder what Uncle Claude will think of Letty

00:14:21Oh, that's right

00:14:23You're going to inherit a lot of money from him someday, aren't you?

00:14:28Not if he finds out I've married a grocery delivery wagon

00:14:48Any, uh, anybody home?

00:15:18Gee, marriage to you would be just like a toppled out dinner

00:15:21Everything would be ready and waiting

00:15:23Oh, that's too much compliment for one dinner

00:15:30Like to knit?

00:15:32I make all of my tents and sweaters

00:15:34And I make all my own clothes

00:15:35Make all your own clothes?

00:15:38Gee, that's smart

00:15:41All Letty ever made for me was trouble

00:15:43Oh, that's so cool

00:16:13Well, Uncle Claude, come in.

00:16:16Greetings, you young rat.

00:16:18You didn't expect me so soon, did you?

00:16:21No, I didn't.

00:16:23Well, so this is Mrs. Robbins.

00:16:27Well, welcome, welcome to the family.

00:16:30You know, I'm Tommy's Uncle Claude.

00:16:33Well, Uncle, you see, my wife, mine, mine.

00:16:36What a nice cozy place you have here.

00:16:40Just ideal for a young bride and groom.

00:16:44You know, you know, I look for you next door.

00:16:47Yeah, but I said that no relative of mine would ever live in a pig pen like that.

00:16:53No, of course not.

00:16:55Well, you see, my wife is...

00:16:57Yes, I know, I know.

00:16:58Well, I've always said that when you did marry,

00:17:01you'd marry a nice little domestic girl like this.

00:17:05A good cook, a good housekeeper.

00:17:08Oh, marriage is a wonderful institution, buddy.

00:17:11Oh, my soul and body.

00:17:19Well, Tom, this is wonderful.

00:17:22Oh, isn't that wonderful?

00:17:25Why didn't you cable me, Tom?

00:17:27Oh, my God.

00:17:30Congratulations.

00:17:31Oh, I am delighted.

00:17:33Well, Mr., you see that sweater, now I...

00:17:36Oh, dear, now, now, now, now, don't explain.

00:17:38I understand.

00:17:41No, you don't.

00:17:42Oh, dear, oh, dear.

00:17:47You know, I believe that in a couple of days, my boy,

00:17:52you are going to get a nice big check.

00:17:58That's the least an old codger like me

00:18:01can do for his future grand-maview.

00:18:04Yeah, or grand-niece, or whatever it's going to be.

00:18:18This is what I call peace and quiet.

00:18:26Greetings.

00:18:27Merry Christmas.

00:18:28Noisy 4th of July.

00:18:29Uh-huh.

00:18:30I thought I'd find you over here where you don't belong.

00:18:33Do you know this assassin?

00:18:35Why, there's my old friend, Toopee.

00:18:39Hello, sweetheart.

00:18:40What are you doing over here, huh?

00:18:42Get rid of this woman at once.

00:18:44What are you, my official bouncer?

00:18:46Why, Mr. Davis, I didn't know you knew Lenny.

00:18:48I thought you said the town got married.

00:18:50Well, you see, that's it.

00:18:51Well, we've been neighbors for years.

00:18:53Oh, so it's you that lives next door.

00:18:56Yes, would you like to dispossess me?

00:18:59Woman, go back to your pig pen where you belong.

00:19:01Uh-huh.

00:19:02Mama, you've been snooping around my cottage.

00:19:05Listen here, young man.

00:19:06If I catch you hanging around there again, Mama certainly is going to whip Papa.

00:19:10What?

00:19:11Say, what ails you?

00:19:12Are you reducing?

00:19:13Uh, you see, this is my Uncle Claude.

00:19:16Uh, I've spoken to you about him often.

00:19:18Mr. Davis, president of the International Ketchup and Tomato Company.

00:19:23Uh, oh, gee, I'm sorry.

00:19:24Now, woman, where did you leave?

00:19:26Oh, Uncle Claude, can you ever, will you, have you ever, oh, if my husband had only told me.

00:19:33Oh, Tom, why didn't you?

00:19:35Oh, you see, Uncle Claude, uh, her, her husband is a friend of yours.

00:19:40He's a big tomato sauce man from, from, from.

00:19:45Say, what are you raving about?

00:19:46You're not a big tomato and sauce man from.

00:19:50Oh, Uncle Claude, I'm so sorry.

00:19:52Oh, oh, I, I, I, I'm going to get out of here.

00:19:55I've got to get out of here.

00:19:55Oh, no, no, no, no, Uncle Claude.

00:19:57Now, you mustn't get hurt.

00:19:58You take the air.

00:19:59What do you think I am, a windmill?

00:20:01Oh.

00:20:08I'll be back in a minute.

00:20:13Oh, dear, now, now, now, my dear, I, I'm sorry, but I, I've got to be going.

00:20:17And, my dear, take my advice, and don't become too intimate with that terrible woman.

00:20:24If Tom had ever married a creature like that.

00:20:40Now, what's this all about?

00:20:41What did you do to him?

00:20:43I didn't have the slightest idea who he was.

00:20:45I only knew him to be one of those rich new arrivals.

00:20:48So, I went up into his suite, and I pulled some of that high-pressure sales method of mine on

00:20:54him.

00:20:54Good night.

00:20:55You fixed my future now.

00:20:57I'm sorry.

00:20:58Dreadfully sorry.

00:21:00Sorry.

00:21:03I knew you'd keep on clowning like this till something happened.

00:21:07Tom, honestly, I wouldn't have had this happen for anything in the world.

00:21:11Oh, stop acting.

00:21:12You're getting all set now to pull that one about the biddy there feeling sorry for the tramp.

00:21:17No, no, don't.

00:21:18No, I should have quit you long ago.

00:21:21Anyway, before this thing happened, I'm through.

00:21:31Thank you, my dear.

00:21:33I'm so glad that Tom married a nice little girl like you.

00:21:36I'm going to like you very much, my dear.

00:21:38And when Uncle Claude says he likes, he says it with cash.

00:21:43Goodbye, my son.

00:21:45Goodbye.

00:21:45Goodbye, Uncle Claude.

00:21:54Tom, come away from that woman.

00:22:03Leaving so soon, Uncle?

00:22:04Yeah, yeah.

00:22:05Well, I'll walk one of the ways with you.

00:22:07Look here, Tom.

00:22:08If you had ever married a woman like that tall creature, you'd never get a cent of my money.

00:22:13Well, being married to her would be hard on me, wouldn't it?

00:22:17Hard.

00:22:17It'd be fatal to you or anybody else.

00:22:20I'll walk to the pier with you.

00:22:22All right, all right.

00:22:24It isn't very polite to start reading the minute you're home.

00:22:28I'm trying to find a little good news, a nice murder or something.

00:22:31A little comedy relief for the home fire blues you sing.

00:22:38Stop hiding behind that paper.

00:22:40Hiding from you?

00:22:41Impossible.

00:22:43I told you when I married you that I couldn't cook and I don't like housework.

00:22:47Yeah, well, I found that out.

00:22:48You're just lazy.

00:22:49Lazy?

00:22:49I am not.

00:22:50I'd work like a dog if I had something artistic to do.

00:22:53Something befitting a delicate, high-strung, sensitive personality like mine.

00:22:58Sensitive?

00:22:59Ha-ha!

00:23:00Get it sensitive, ha-ha!

00:23:01If I could bob my hair and put a bandeau around it and a couple of yards of cheesecloth around

00:23:06here and go in for Greek dancing.

00:23:08Yeah, well, suppose you start expressing yourself by putting on an apron and buying some frankfurters and doing a little

00:23:13Greek cooking.

00:23:14Are you broadcasting?

00:23:15I'm listening.

00:23:16But I warn you, I'll leave you.

00:23:19What I need is the kind of a life that will bring back my radio voice, plenty of rest and

00:23:24good food and regularity of...

00:23:26Yes, fresh air and long walks and sunshine.

00:23:30You don't want a wife.

00:23:31You want a sanitarium.

00:23:34Dance.

00:23:35Dance.

00:23:51You might try talking to your wife occasionally.

00:23:54When?

00:23:54During intermission?

00:23:57Oh, why did I ever marry you?

00:24:01For revenge, I guess, and baby, you sure got it.

00:24:05Oh!

00:24:07Oh!

00:24:11One more crack out of you about what a good cook, Grace, is, and I'll knock you right through that

00:24:16door into her pots and pans.

00:24:17You should have married a kitchen stove.

00:24:20That's hot.

00:24:22No more wise cracks from the broken crockery.

00:24:25Say, I'll wise crack just as much as I want.

00:24:27You do what?

00:24:28Oh, I'll get out of here.

00:24:29Slam the door as you go out.

00:24:46Why, what's the matter, Tommy?

00:24:48You look worried.

00:24:52I'm not worried.

00:24:54I'm just exhausted.

00:24:56Letty and I just had another battle.

00:24:58Oh, you poor boy.

00:25:03You know, Grace, my wife doesn't understand me.

00:25:07Oh, that's a shame.

00:25:11Now, if I was only married to someone like you, Grace, dear.

00:25:15Tommy, you mustn't.

00:25:22Did anybody ever tell you you had lovely hands?

00:25:25Not since I've been married.

00:25:34I didn't know you were home, Harry.

00:25:36Yeah?

00:25:37I'll send you a telegram the next time.

00:25:44Do you suppose he saw us holding hands?

00:25:47I don't know.

00:25:48And I don't care if he did.

00:25:50The brute.

00:26:02Come in.

00:26:04Hello, Harry.

00:26:05Pull down the drawbridge and enter.

00:26:06The Duke's away on a hunting trip.

00:26:08Sit down.

00:26:10Hey, Letty.

00:26:12Would you believe me if I said that my wife didn't understand me?

00:26:16Oh, that's too bad.

00:26:17Why don't you stay home nights and tell her something about yourself?

00:26:20No, if she spent half as much time on her face as she did her veal cutlet, well, I'd relish

00:26:25it.

00:26:26Are you speaking of the lady or the cutlet?

00:26:29Imagine how I feel when I come home nights and find her looking like the follies of 1910.

00:26:34Takes all the pep out of me.

00:26:36Now, with you, Letty, it's different.

00:26:38I, uh...

00:26:39Oh, Harry, you're killing me.

00:26:41Yeah, you're somewhat of a killer yourself.

00:26:45Harry, I wish Tommy'd get a suit like yours.

00:26:48Oh, you like this suit, huh?

00:26:50Soft, creepy material.

00:26:52Get the bare suggestion of the figure.

00:26:55It's a lady shriek from London.

00:26:56It's a scream, all right.

00:26:58I like the little digitalis around the majasbo here.

00:27:02It's really stunning.

00:27:03You know, Letty, you have beautiful, slender, graceful hands.

00:27:07Do you really think so?

00:27:08Yeah.

00:27:09Grace's hands are all thumbs.

00:27:11Mostly down.

00:27:21Harry, I'd like to speak to you outside a minute.

00:27:24All right, Tom.

00:27:36What's the idea of making love to my wife?

00:27:39That wasn't love.

00:27:40That was conversation.

00:27:41Well, when you had to hold her hands, what were you describing?

00:27:44A wrestling match?

00:27:44I'm a nervous temperament.

00:27:47Yeah.

00:27:47Well, you keep your nervous temperament away from my wife.

00:27:49Yeah.

00:27:50Where were you?

00:27:51I was practicing boys' culture.

00:27:55Well, since when is my home a rehearsal hall?

00:27:59You wouldn't go home if you saw one.

00:28:01Yeah.

00:28:02Well, you come on down by the ocean.

00:28:03I want to talk to you.

00:28:05Yeah.

00:28:06Yeah.

00:28:08Yeah.

00:28:10Yeah.

00:28:11Yeah.

00:28:12Yeah.

00:28:13Yeah.

00:28:16Well, let them all in.

00:28:25What is the matter?

00:28:26You're as nervous as a cat.

00:28:27Grace, I am one jump ahead of a fifth.

00:28:32What's wrong?

00:28:33Plenty.

00:28:35Now, calm yourself, Reddy.

00:28:36Calm yourself.

00:28:37Tell me what happened.

00:28:38Listen, Harry was in here a minute ago, and he was telling me, he was telling me what pretty

00:28:42hands I have.

00:28:43Oh, really?

00:28:45Mm-hmm.

00:28:46And Tommy got terribly jealous.

00:28:48Jealous?

00:28:48Tom, jealous of Harry?

00:28:50Oh, how perfectly ridiculous.

00:28:53Oh, I don't know about that.

00:28:56Tommy admires me very much.

00:28:58But listen here, from what I can gather, Harry is extremely jealous of Tommy.

00:29:03You don't say so.

00:29:06Isn't that ridiculous?

00:29:08Oh, I don't know.

00:29:09Well, listen, were they really very angry?

00:29:13Angry?

00:29:13They've gone down the beach now to have it out.

00:29:16Oh, suppose they kill each other.

00:29:18Boy, wouldn't that be awful?

00:29:20Oh, and Harry's the only husband I've got.

00:29:24Well, Tom is no leading man.

00:29:26But believe me, he is a comfort around the house.

00:29:30Oh.

00:29:42Are you all right, Tommy, darling?

00:29:44Are you all right, dear?

00:29:46Certainly we're all right.

00:29:47Aren't we, Tom?

00:29:48Perfect.

00:29:49Tom and I have just come to a big decision.

00:29:51Haven't we, Tom?

00:29:52Yes, indeed we have.

00:29:53You tell him, Tom.

00:29:55Hmm?

00:29:57Well, you tell him and I'll pat my foot.

00:29:59Well, well, you see, the fact is that...

00:30:01Yes, it certainly is.

00:30:03Yes, it certainly is.

00:30:04What is it?

00:30:05Well, Lord, go ahead and spill it.

00:30:07Yes, let's have it.

00:30:08Well, to get right to the point, we figured we'd exchange wives.

00:30:14Yes, precisely.

00:30:16What?

00:30:17Well, you're both crazy.

00:30:18Well, now, you see, Tom figured that Grace was such a good cook and he's such a food hound that,

00:30:23yes, and Harry figured that as long as he likes to make whoopee and Lenny invented it...

00:30:28So you two masterminds decided that you had both married the wrong girl.

00:30:32And you'd remedy the mistake by switching.

00:30:34Well, that's about it.

00:30:36That's exactly it.

00:30:37Well, of all the galls.

00:30:39They don't need a nerve tonic.

00:30:40That's a cinch.

00:30:41Well, now, understand, girls, we're not going to really...

00:30:44Oh, no, we won't really...

00:30:46Oh, you mean you won't really?

00:30:50Oh, you won't really?

00:30:53No, no.

00:30:54Not really?

00:30:55No.

00:30:56I think...

00:30:56Really?

00:30:58So we girls are just taking on probation, so to speak.

00:31:01Uh-huh.

00:31:02So you two fellows have figured it all out and you're going to give us the air?

00:31:06Refined air, ozone.

00:31:07Well, I think it's outrageous and disgusting.

00:31:11Whose idea was this, anyway?

00:31:14Well, we thought that it was a kind of a collaboration.

00:31:19I wrote the words and he wrote the music.

00:31:22Oh, I see.

00:31:23It took two heads to hammer this idea.

00:31:26Say, Grace, step into my office, will you?

00:31:30We'll talk this thing over.

00:31:37So, after all, you don't think we'd...

00:31:39Keep calm, keep calm.

00:31:40I know, but I've never swapped wives before, neither of you.

00:31:43Keep cool, Tommy, keep cool.

00:31:45I'm cool, all right.

00:31:49Oh, now, Letty, you're not going to really let them.

00:31:51Listen, can't you see?

00:31:52If they really want to get rid of us, we can't do anything else but let them?

00:31:56But supposing after we exchange for a while, Harry would prefer you.

00:32:00Don't worry.

00:32:01I never purchase goods by sample.

00:32:04Well, that's a relief.

00:32:05Would you want Tommy as a permanent institution?

00:32:08I should say not.

00:32:10Well, I don't want that giraffe that belongs to you.

00:32:13Well, well, anyway, I'm afraid.

00:32:15Oh, I just couldn't...

00:32:16Nonsense.

00:32:16This is the chance of a lifetime to teach them such a lesson that they'll eat out of

00:32:20our hands forever after.

00:32:21How?

00:32:22Listen, Tommy's always bawling me out about being a rotten cook and housekeeper.

00:32:26You take him for a week and stuff him with food till he cries for help.

00:32:30Say, that's not a bad idea.

00:32:32Harry's always bawling you out about not dressing well, sitting home and tending to the house.

00:32:37I'll take him for a week.

00:32:38Oh, boy, how I'll take him.

00:32:40I'll give him so much excitement and action that he'll crawl back to you on his hands and knees.

00:32:45Matty, you're a genius.

00:32:48Ah, you're generous.

00:32:50What do you say?

00:32:51I'm with you.

00:32:52Okay, baby.

00:32:53Oh, this is going to be sweet.

00:32:56Come on now.

00:33:04Well?

00:33:06Well?

00:33:08Well?

00:33:10Well, we've decided.

00:33:14Harry, you come over here with me for a week.

00:33:16And Tommy, you go over there with Grace.

00:33:20Well, you mean for a week?

00:33:23For a week?

00:33:24We can get a divorce later.

00:33:26Grace and I are not going to take any such serious steps as that until we're perfectly sure that she

00:33:30wants Tommy and I want you.

00:33:32And a week's trial will give us all the information we need.

00:33:36Undoubtedly.

00:33:38Positively.

00:33:39Absolutely.

00:33:40Good.

00:33:42Is it a bargain?

00:33:43It's more than a bargain.

00:33:44It's a fire sale.

00:33:45Well, I'm game if you are.

00:33:48Your latchkey.

00:33:49Your latchkey.

00:34:00Now, Harry, make it snappy.

00:34:03And you better be good.

00:34:04I'm going to pack.

00:34:05I'll be right back.

00:34:14What?

00:34:16Well, when do we eat?

00:34:39I'll be right back.

00:34:49Oh, Harry, I'm so scared.

00:34:53I don't feel so damn good myself.

00:35:12Is Tom still packing?

00:35:14Yep.

00:35:23He's in.

00:35:26Uh-huh.

00:35:29How do you feel, Tom?

00:35:31Fine.

00:35:32How do you feel?

00:35:33Pale and warmer.

00:35:34Well, let's go.

00:35:35Let's go.

00:35:45Well, here we are.

00:35:46Yeah, here they are, the two of them.

00:35:47You mean the four of us.

00:35:48Let's do a menu with.

00:35:50Right.

00:35:50Choose your partner.

00:35:55Well, Tommy, we better get started.

00:35:57Started?

00:35:57He's way ahead of you and leading the way.

00:35:59Remember, early to bed and no play makes Jack a dull boy.

00:36:05So long, Letty.

00:36:07So long, Tommy.

00:36:10So long, Letty.

00:36:49I know, I know. We always have roast beef Thursday. Wednesday lamb chops, Tuesday steak, Monday hash. You don't need

00:37:00a calendar in this house. You can smell the days.

00:37:04Well, for dessert we have the loveliest.

00:37:08Lemon pie. I know. We always have lemon pie Thursday. Wednesday rice pudding, Tuesday bread pudding, Monday apple pie and

00:37:19whipped cream.

00:37:24Sunday applesauce.

00:37:29Uh-uh, uh-uh, come on, come on. Does Mama's new Papa want his dinner?

00:37:32I'm too tired to eat, Letty.

00:37:34Well, come on in and sit down and I'll give you nothing but service. Nothing but service.

00:37:38I don't want anything to eat.

00:37:40Oh, well, you'll need plenty of food before morning because we're going out on a wild party.

00:37:44What, again tonight?

00:37:45Wow.

00:37:46Letty, if you ever have a kid, it'll be an Alcar conductor.

00:37:48Yes, I want something. Coffee. Strong and black.

00:37:51Boy, you've got it right there. Strong and black. Aged in the pot since yesterday morning.

00:37:55Oh, that guy doesn't know when he's well off. I'd rather sleep than he...

00:37:58Oh, please go away and let me sleep.

00:38:01Letty, please, I can do without that.

00:38:03Please, letty.

00:38:05Well, what kind of fish will you have? Salmon, sardines, or tuna. Name your can. I have the brand.

00:38:12How's your appetite?

00:38:13I don't need any appetite. I'm starved already, but I'm too tired to eat. Now there's a condition for you.

00:38:18Well, you might be in a worse condition. You might have tomein.

00:38:22Well, far be it from me to force a man to eat. If you don't want to eat, all right,

00:38:26that's your business. It's there for you. Use your own judgment.

00:38:33Oh.

00:38:33Oh, one, I love, two, I love, three, I love, I say.

00:38:39I wish I had my own wife back again. I wish I had my own wife back again.

00:38:45Six, he loves seven, he loves eight, he wants to wear.

00:38:50Da-da-dee-da, da-da-dee-dee-da, that's what the daisy say.

00:38:54Da-da-dee-da, da-da-da-dee-da-da...

00:39:02Hello, operator. Give me Beechwood. Four, eight, five, two. Yeah.

00:39:08Rza-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da...

00:39:25Honey, please let me come home. I'll be good. I'll come home for supper every night.

00:39:28How have you been, honey?

00:39:30I've been fine. And listen here, let me tell you something.

00:39:33You made your bed and you can lie in it.

00:39:35Tom and I are getting along very well and we're very, very happy.

00:39:40And he enjoys eating my cooking and just as long as he enjoys eating it, he can eat it.

00:39:45Well, but Grace, listen. Grace?

00:39:48Hello? Hello, Grace?

00:39:50Say, listen, don't you hang up on me.

00:40:02Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello?

00:40:05That isn't the phone. It's the doorbell.

00:40:10I was just going.

00:40:12Oh, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, but I was in the backyard bathing.

00:40:15I mean bathing the nasty stertion.

00:40:17Oh, I came over to tell you that my husband's been called out of town suddenly

00:40:21and I'm giving a party over in my cottage.

00:40:24Everybody's coming. You and Harry must dance over.

00:40:27Why, of course we will.

00:40:31Harry adores parties. When do you want us?

00:40:34The sooner the quicker.

00:40:35All right, we have a slip on the top step and be right over.

00:40:37All right, baby. I'll see you later. Bye-bye.

00:40:39Goodbye.

00:40:41I tell you, I'm not going to any more parties.

00:40:43I'm not going to spend my entire life in a tuxedo.

00:40:45Are you going to go and get dressed or am I going to dress you?

00:40:48Oh, please, Letty, please.

00:40:50This way to the soup and fish.

00:40:51Oh, let me stay home tonight.

00:40:56Now you stay here and you get dressed.

00:40:59My clothes are in the kitchen.

00:41:01I'll go get them.

00:41:25Hi, P.

00:41:26have you a match?

00:41:27No, but my sister has a light.

00:41:30Oh.

00:41:30Well, you can't clean your fingernails with a lighter.

00:41:36Haven't we met someplace before?

00:41:38Don't you girls know Mrs. Dipsy?

00:41:42Well, you should know her.

00:41:43She's giving a party tonight.

00:41:45And when she gives, sister, how she gives.

00:41:48I'm quite sure we don't know her, but perhaps we ought to.

00:41:52I think we should.

00:41:54Here, here, here.

00:41:56Hey, what's going on here?

00:41:59Grandpa, these are some old friends of ours.

00:42:01Yes, Grandpa.

00:42:02These are some more boys we knew at school.

00:42:05Oh, I see.

00:42:07Well, school is still out.

00:42:10But, Grandpa, they invited us to a party tonight over at Mrs. Dipsy's.

00:42:15Dipsy?

00:42:17Oh, no woman with a name like that could give a decent party.

00:42:22Besides, I'm going to call on my nephew, Tom Robbins,

00:42:26and you two girls are going with me.

00:42:28What do you know about that?

00:42:32A shooting star.

00:42:35Two shooting stars.

00:42:36And oh, how they shoot.

00:42:38Well, I don't see any shooting star.

00:42:48I don't see any stars at all.

00:42:53Well, the party's off.

00:42:55Mrs. Dipsy's husband didn't get out of town.

00:42:57Isn't that too bad?

00:42:58Yeah, well, that's great.

00:42:59I can get some sleep now.

00:43:00Oh, don't be silly, Harry.

00:43:01There's other places to go.

00:43:03Yeah, well, there's one place you can go,

00:43:04and you won't need me for an escort.

00:43:05Oh, Harry.

00:43:06Now, don't be silly, Letty.

00:43:07I'm not going to get in this straight jacket again.

00:43:08I wouldn't go out tonight for anything.

00:43:23Well, hello.

00:43:24How are you?

00:43:26Good evening.

00:43:28How are you?

00:43:29Well, what is this, a parade or something?

00:43:32No, but that's a vigil that has got to call.

00:43:34We were going over to Mrs. Dipsy.

00:43:36Well, her party was called off.

00:43:38So we all boxed over here.

00:43:40Well, come in.

00:43:40I'm glad you came.

00:43:41Make yourselves at home.

00:43:43Of course.

00:43:43I see you brought your banjos with your boys.

00:43:45Go ahead and tune up.

00:43:47Come on.

00:43:47To the party.

00:43:48Well, girls, park yourselves around here

00:43:49and make yourselves at home with you.

00:43:51You'll find ice in the icebox

00:43:52and plenty of ale in the ginger ale.

00:43:53I'll go out and bring out the life of the party.

00:43:56Come on.

00:43:58Get out there.

00:44:07Are you going to get up and get dressed

00:44:09or must I knock you unconscious and dress you?

00:44:12On the day I left, Ray, somebody should have poisoned me.

00:44:15I never thought of that, but it's a good idea.

00:44:19Will cyanide do or do you prefer potassium?

00:44:22Ah.

00:44:29Well, where's Harry?

00:44:32He'll be in just as soon as he finds his false teeth.

00:44:36Say, Letty, will you do something?

00:44:38Sure.

00:44:39I imitate wild birds and beasts of the forest.

00:44:41My first imitation will be that of a wild eyelash.

00:44:44Wow, wow, wow.

00:44:47Do you know my strongest weakness?

00:44:50No, I mean the song.

00:44:52Play it.

00:45:01Every psychoanalyst that's analyzing

00:45:06told me I would never, never fall in love.

00:45:12They all say your mental strength is most surprising.

00:45:16They thought I was a sandow, but I fooled them and how?

00:45:28I've got a weakness, I must confess.

00:45:35This is a weakness, this is a weakness, you'll never get.

00:45:41I've tried to hide it, I hope it don't show.

00:45:46I'll not look quite it, embarrass you, though.

00:45:54I'll be right back.

00:45:56Scotsman-like branding, Chinaman-like rice.

00:46:01Kids fall for candy, gamblers for dice, even the strongest have weaknesses too, my strongest weakness is you.

00:46:22I've got a weakness, I must confess, this is a weakness you'll never get, I try to hide it, I

00:46:38hope it don't show, I'll not confide it, embarrassed you know.

00:46:46Scotsman like brandy, Chinaman like rice, kids fall for candy, gamblers for dice, even the strongest have weaknesses too, my

00:47:07strongest weakness is you.

00:47:14How's your digestion dear?

00:47:16It's getting no better fast.

00:47:18Oh, don't you think I'd better call a doctor?

00:47:22Say if you don't stop annoying me you're going to have to call a doctor for yourself.

00:47:28It's getting no better, it's getting no better.

00:47:32It's getting no better now!

00:47:34Harry, the gloom chaser.

00:47:37Get hot boys, get hot.

00:47:49You're one sweet little yet, means all my happiness, oh, baby, never, never tell me no.

00:48:00You take away my breath, TBS and me to death, no, baby, never, never let me go.

00:48:10Why, you've got dozens of cousins and dozens of ants, relatives by the score, write them, invite them, and give

00:48:19them a chance, and come around, too, ba-do-do-do-do, you're one sweet little yet, means all my

00:48:26happiness, oh, baby, never, never let me go.

00:48:35How about a little drink?

00:48:39Well, how about a glass of hot water?

00:48:42Fine, make it scalding and throw it at yourself.

00:48:46Aw, now, just a nice glass of hot water with a little soda in it.

00:48:50And a cherry, give me liberty or give me death, you're enough to drive a man screwy.

00:48:56Why, Tom, where are you going?

00:48:59Ice skating.

00:49:17Oh, we're pinched.

00:49:25Why, it's Cupid.

00:49:26On with the dance.

00:49:28What are you doing here?

00:49:30Letty, dear, please let me come back.

00:49:32That woman's driving me crazy.

00:49:33Now, you made your bed.

00:49:35Now, you eat it.

00:49:37Letty, I...

00:49:38All right, all right.

00:49:40We'll let you go out and wash the dishes.

00:49:43On with the dance.

00:49:44So, what do we say?

00:49:53Good evening, Mike.

00:49:54Hello.

00:50:00Where's your husband?

00:50:02Oh, well, he just stepped out for a minute.

00:50:04Ah, he shouldn't leave you alone like this.

00:50:07Well, he had to go on business.

00:50:08Oh, what a nice, cozy place you have, dear.

00:50:19Tom's a lucky boy, my dear.

00:50:21Thank you, Mr. Uncle Claude.

00:50:24You've been a fine influence to Tom.

00:50:27Oh, that's very nice of you.

00:50:29And don't think I don't appreciate it, my dear.

00:50:34And when Uncle Claude says that he appreciates anything,

00:50:38he pays for it.

00:50:40There, my dear.

00:50:41For me?

00:50:42Yeah, for you and your husband.

00:50:44Why, but I, uh...

00:50:48$50,000!

00:50:50I'll give this check to Tom as soon as he comes home.

00:50:53All right, all right.

00:50:54Yeah.

00:50:57What's that noise?

00:50:58Oh, the people next door are having a party.

00:51:01Get that terrible woman?

00:51:03You should have all the rest and quiet

00:51:05that you possibly can get, dear.

00:51:08Yeah, and by golly, you're going to have it, too.

00:51:11Yeah, where's the telephone?

00:51:12Why, what are you going to do?

00:51:13I'm going to stop that terrible noise.

00:51:16You don't suppose that I'm going to allow a woman like that

00:51:18to jeopardize your health and your well-being, uh...

00:51:21at a time like this?

00:51:23Huh, I should say not.

00:51:25I'll have the whole lot of them in jail.

00:51:27No.

00:51:31G-g-g-give me that police station.

00:51:36How can you change a sad affair to fun?

00:51:41By doing what appeals to everyone

00:51:44And that is

00:51:47Clowning

00:51:48Clowning

00:51:49Clowning

00:51:50That's the way to save a party when it's drowning

00:51:53Just pretend that you're a kid

00:51:56Do the kind of things you did

00:51:58Pull a lot of monkey business

00:51:59Go completely off your list

00:52:01Wow

00:52:02Lady

00:52:05Clowning

00:52:06Clowning

00:52:07It's better than reciting Keep the Browning

00:52:11The Whitneys and the Vanderbilts

00:52:13The Astors and the Ghouls

00:52:15Know how to warm a party up

00:52:17The minute that it cools

00:52:18They forget their ritzy ways

00:52:20And act like doggone fools

00:52:22Clowning

00:52:23Clowning

00:52:24Clowning

00:52:25Clowning

00:52:27Clowning

00:52:29It's entertaining value is astounding

00:52:31Though it wouldn't go in France

00:52:34And in England, not a chance

00:52:35But the proper thing to do here is to kick them in the pants

00:52:42Clowning

00:52:43Clowning?

00:52:44Clowning

00:52:44It is Uncle Sammy's antidote for frowning

00:52:48And in diplomatic circles

00:52:50And in big affairs of state

00:52:52When congressmen and senators can't get the issue straight

00:52:55They get their heads together and they sing

00:53:00idiril

00:53:20Clowning

00:53:23Clowning

00:53:43and they're breaking every law of the Constitution including all of the

00:53:48amendments so hurry is that Tom's voice oh I don't think so what that's Tom's

00:57:25I suppose he isn't here now

00:57:30He just paid for listening to lies.

00:57:32Come on, boys, take him along.

00:57:34You can't arrest me.

00:57:36I've got an appointment for a facial tomorrow.

00:57:38So's your Aunt Emma.

00:57:39Oh, my Aunt Emma wouldn't know what a facial was.

00:57:42This way out.

00:57:43Oh, you make me sick.

00:57:45Come on, but Officer, I don't belong here.

00:57:54You've been aching to talk for the past half hour.

00:57:56Kindly tell the court what you were doing at this party.

00:58:00Are you a singer, too?

00:58:01No, Your Honor, I am not a singer.

00:58:04I am Claude Davis, president of the International Tomato Pastel Company.

00:58:09Will you tell the truth about this, or will you go to jail?

00:58:11Your Honor, this may seem a bit strange to you,

00:58:14but we traded husbands and wives for a week.

00:58:17You did what?

00:58:18I am really married to Tommy Robbins,

00:58:21and she is really married to Harry Miller.

00:58:23Both boys got tired of their own wives and...

00:58:25Look here, Tom Robbins.

00:58:27Do you mean to say that you are married to this, sir?

00:58:30One moment, sir.

00:58:31Another remark like that, and you'll go to jail for a month.

00:58:34But my dear judge...

00:58:35Go on, then.

00:58:36That's all there is to it.

00:58:38Tommy preferred Grace to me,

00:58:39and Harry preferred me to Grace, so we swapped.

00:58:42Yeah, and Your Honor, I got no bargain.

00:58:43I regret it.

00:58:44So do I.

00:58:45No one regrets it more than I do.

00:58:47And I want Tommy back.

00:58:48He's not very much to look at, Judge,

00:58:50but he does lend atmosphere in the home.

00:58:53He lends more sphere than atmos, but I like it.

00:58:56Well, if I understand this situation correctly,

00:59:00all parties to this astonishing and illegal exchange

00:59:05sincerely regret it and desire it to return

00:59:08to their respective husbands and wives.

00:59:10Will you repeat that, Judge?

00:59:12Judge, my pal, I'd rather live with Scarlet Fever than with this woman.

00:59:15Me too, only I'll take tonsillitis.

00:59:18Yeah, and I'd rather eat rat poison than live with that Mrs. Miller.

00:59:21You'll eat those words.

00:59:23He'll eat anything he can get near his mouth.

00:59:25And that's so big he can't miss it.

00:59:29Oh, and to think I was going to give you a big check.

00:59:34Very well, then.

00:59:35I command that each one of you return immediately

00:59:38to his husband or wife.

00:59:41And to ensure good conduct in the future,

00:59:44I parole each husband to each wife,

00:59:46and each wife to each husband.

00:59:49Your Honor, may I ask my nephew a question?

00:59:53Yes.

00:59:54Tom, how about my future grand-nephew or grand-niece

01:00:00or whatever it was going to be?

01:00:02Answer the gentleman's question.

01:00:04Well, you see, Mr. Davis, Your Honor,

01:00:07that little sweater I was knitting was for Hortense.

01:00:11My dog.

01:00:12Oh!

01:00:14How do you deceive her?

01:00:15Oh, I'll...

01:00:16Now, Uncle Claude, don't you lose your...

01:00:18Now, look here.

01:00:19As for you, you'll regret this to your dying days.

01:00:22You're a minister to society.

01:00:24Why, the world would be better off, David.

01:00:26I advise you to control your temper.

01:00:29Much, please.

01:00:29Oh, next case.

01:00:31Oh, dear.

01:00:32Oh, my.

01:00:39Wait, stop, look, and listen.

01:00:42You take your hands off of me.

01:00:44Aren't you satisfied?

01:00:45Ruining my reputation?

01:00:47Wrecking my faith in mankind?

01:00:50Yes, and womankind, too.

01:00:52But, Uncle Claude, it's not as bad as you think.

01:00:54You haven't lost anything.

01:00:55I'm sorry.

01:00:56I'll give you back the check that you gave me.

01:00:59What?

01:01:00Say, where'd you get that check?

01:01:02I never gave that check to you.

01:01:04I gave it to Tom.

01:01:05Well, it was made out to Mr. and Mrs. Tom Robbins,

01:01:08so naturally it wasn't mine.

01:01:10Yes, and good husbands always share everything with their wives.

01:01:17The thing that you have taken from me

01:01:19that hurts more than anything else

01:01:21is the fond hope I had for a future grand-nephew

01:01:26or a grand-niece.

01:01:30If it wasn't for that,

01:01:32I might be able to forgive all of you.

01:01:38Uncle Claude.

01:01:40What do you want?

01:01:47What?

01:01:48What?

01:01:56No!

01:02:03Here's a toast to Uncle Claude, the tomato ketchup king.

01:02:06He's wined and dined us royally

01:02:08and forgiven us everything.

01:02:12He's given Ruth his promise that she can marry Joe.

01:02:15That if she loves him twelve months hence,

01:02:17of course she will, I know.

01:02:19And Sally can have her parents to honor and obey

01:02:22that if in a year she still can stand to listen to his play.

01:02:26He gave Grace back her husband as good as when first went.

01:02:30And he made my Tommy leave her

01:02:32and come back to me instead.

01:02:35My mama says I'm a good girl.

01:02:38Come on!

01:02:40Come on!

01:02:42Come on!

01:02:42Come on, Uncle!

01:02:44Now, ladies and gentlemen, nieces, nephews and grandkids.

01:02:49And now, I have a surprise for Letty.

01:02:52I have taken Sally and Ruth abroad for a whole year.

01:02:56And I want Letty to come with us.

01:02:58Oh, wow!

01:03:00Oh, boy!

01:03:01What a life!

01:03:02What a life!

01:03:02Facials in France, mud packs in Paris,

01:03:05and lotions in London.

01:03:07Oh, Uncle Claude, this is too much!

01:03:09Outta, girl, this is too much!

01:03:11Oh, Tommy.

01:03:13Don't worry, darling, I'm also gonna leave you.

01:03:15This is too much.

01:03:17There it is.

01:03:18Go, go, go, go.

01:03:20Why don't I make my own way, though, God?

01:03:26And if you go watch, go watch, on a sleep,

01:03:30and you only want my given bond

01:03:34But if you take my heart away, will you leave me alone behind you?

01:03:41If you leave me alone, if you love me, love me, stay so long, baby, so long, baby, so long,

01:03:53baby, so long, baby.
