00:01:46forever to eternal flames, never to return to the neighborhood of Roxanne.
00:01:53And now, while we prepare for the extinction of the father of this witch, the
00:01:59old sorcerer who attempted to come to her aid, there will be a short intermission.
00:02:05Popped maids, get your fresh Indian pop days, tuppence a poke, it's buttered, it's
00:02:12hot, it's fresh, an anti-witch charm in every fork, tuppence please, pop maids, here we
00:02:19are, it's buttered, it's fresh, pop maids, Master Woolley.
00:02:25What has got into thee, Jonathan?
00:02:28What?
00:02:29Dost doubt she was a witch.
00:02:31I should never have accused her, if I were not sure.
00:02:35And her father.
00:02:37Unquestionably a sorcerer.
00:02:40Mother, if thou hadst seen what I saw.
00:02:44We both saw our cows turn pink, then blue, and our sheep dancing a minuet.
00:02:48But thou didst not see Jennifer.
00:02:50Jennifer?
00:02:51She told me her name when she chased me into the halo.
00:02:56She was young and beautifully fair.
00:02:59Fairer than all women that ever were.
00:03:02How didst not tell that to the judges?
00:03:04Because I could never describe her beauty.
00:03:07What happened in the hayloft, Jonathan?
00:03:10She brought her golden tresses close to my face and whispered.
00:03:15Jonathan Woolley, thou hast denounced me as a witch.
00:03:19For that thou shalt be accursed.
00:03:21Thou and thy children and thy children's children.
00:03:25All will be under the same curse.
00:03:31What was the curse?
00:03:33I and all my descendants will be unhappy in love.
00:03:38The marriages we make will be disastrous until...
00:03:42Yes.
00:03:44Tis too wicked to tell thee, Mother.
00:03:46Rubbish and gallant!
00:03:47Thou art in love with Purity Sykes and even betrothed to her.
00:03:50Aye, Mother.
00:03:51And Purity is a woman among thousands.
00:03:53Aye, Mother. She is that.
00:03:57Jonathan, wouldst leave thy future wife sick there all alone?
00:04:00What ails him, Mistress Woolley?
00:04:02Ah, Purity.
00:04:03You will find he is a dreamer.
00:04:05He needs only a firm hand.
00:04:07Jonathan, I must ask thee to be more attentive.
00:04:10In the future.
00:04:11Look.
00:04:13The oak tree to be planted over their ashes.
00:04:18Why?
00:04:18To hold the evil spirits.
00:04:20Shh.
00:04:21Prisoner in its roots.
00:04:23Thus keeping their wicked powers from surviving.
00:04:29I hope.
00:04:35And this is the tree which was planted over their ashes.
00:04:38Yes.
00:04:38The witch's spirits, of course, are imprisoned in its roots.
00:04:43Imprisoned forever.
00:04:47Martha.
00:04:49I have the honor to...
00:04:53To...
00:04:53Are you proposing to me?
00:04:55Yes, Martha.
00:04:57Oh, Nathaniel.
00:05:03What was that?
00:05:08What?
00:05:08The point, sir.
00:05:09Fire upon.
00:05:10You can't I dare dare do?
00:05:13Do I?
00:05:14I...
00:05:14I can't do that.
00:05:16Well, you've known that you are perpendicularly.
00:05:16That's it.
00:05:16Nancy.
00:05:17Nancy, control yourself.
00:05:18Control yourself.
00:05:19Drop your hand, Samuel Woolley.
00:05:20I wish you'd throw their face.
00:05:22Oh!
00:05:22Commander Woolley, did you ya have their walk?
00:05:24Where is the nearest recruiting office?
00:05:26Oh!
00:05:26Running off to war like a coward.
00:05:28Oh!
00:05:29You've done everything!
00:05:33Come on!
00:05:34The front of the bar!
00:05:36The front of the bar.
00:05:37The front of the bar.
00:05:37The front of the bar.
00:06:03I'm not talking about the whole house at the moment.
00:06:05It's that living room.
00:06:12Estelle! Now listen to me!
00:06:15Estelle!
00:06:20Estelle, please.
00:06:21What?
00:06:21Hold it. One more.
00:06:29Papa, I'm leaving.
00:06:31Smile.
00:06:35Will you try to be a little more pleasant, at least until after the wedding?
00:06:38Fellow members of the Roxford Country Club.
00:06:40Dr. White's proposing another toast.
00:06:42I realize that lovebirds would like to be out on the veranda whispering sweet nothings.
00:06:49After a certain ceremony tomorrow, they will have all the rest of their lives for billing and cooing.
00:06:55Mostly billing.
00:06:58But if the voters of this state have any sense at all, they will insist that the first four years
00:07:02of the honeymoon be spent in the governor's mansion.
00:07:09Go ahead. Go ahead. You might pick up a few more votes.
00:07:23If I see, getting married, as well as trying to get elected... calls for speeches.
00:07:38I can truly say that a new life is beginning for me.
00:07:44All right, ladies and gentlemen, it's just a storm.
00:07:47Ladies and gentlemen, while at the moment the future seems a little dark,
00:07:53well, you see, one never knows what the next moment will bring.
00:08:02Let's go.
00:08:29Where am I? What's happened?
00:08:31A miracle, an infernal miracle.
00:08:34We're free again, free at last.
00:08:37Who speaketh?
00:08:38Tis I, thy father, Daniel.
00:08:40But thou hast no substance.
00:08:42Nor hast thou, Jennifer.
00:08:44We are smoke, which is smoke.
00:08:46But our evil spirits have survived.
00:08:51T'will be sweet to plague the human race again.
00:08:54First we'll visit the cornfield and ruin the crop.
00:08:57Tis always a good way to limber up.
00:09:00Look, father. The cornfield is no longer there.
00:09:04Well, we must expect a few changes in 270 years.
00:09:08Where are spirits in the wood that long?
00:09:10Hey, I counted the tree rings.
00:09:14See? They've built a new house.
00:09:17It seems all ablaze. Is it on fire?
00:09:20Not yet.
00:09:26What's knitting, kitten? You like to cut a rug?
00:09:28Let's ditch these ickies.
00:09:29How about going to heaven in your jalopy?
00:09:31That's solid, Jackson.
00:09:32Now you're cooking on the front burner.
00:09:35What language is that, father?
00:09:37I don't know. But we'll learn it.
00:09:45See how they dance today.
00:09:47They stand so close.
00:09:49Well, well, well. Things have changed.
00:09:52I never thought I'd see clothes like that in New England.
00:09:56These cannot be the descendants of the Puritans we knew.
00:10:04There's something that hasn't changed in 270 years.
00:10:09Keep thy mind on our business.
00:10:11It would be nice to have lips.
00:10:13Lips to whisper lies.
00:10:16Lips to kiss man and make him suffer.
00:10:19Father, why cannot I have lips and eyes and hair?
00:10:23Careful. Someone's coming.
00:10:25Quick, do as I do.
00:10:28These bottles. We'll hide in them.
00:10:30Quick, quick, quick, quick, quick, quick.
00:10:32Whee!
00:10:37Are you all right, Jennifer?
00:10:39Just full of bubbles in here. They tickle.
00:10:42My bottle has the tang of Medford rub.
00:10:46Look, father.
00:10:50Come closer, man, so I can see me better.
00:10:57Come closer.
00:10:58Riddle-dee-dee, riddle-dee-doe.
00:11:01Get the handsome scum-night doe.
00:11:11There was something familiar about that face.
00:11:14Could we follow him?
00:11:30What'll it be, Mr. Woolley?
00:11:32The same.
00:11:33Bourbon.
00:11:33Yes, sir.
00:11:34Mr. Woolley.
00:11:36Woolley.
00:11:37I knew I recognized those features.
00:11:40Well, well, well.
00:11:41A descendant of the land who had us burned.
00:11:46No wonder he looked so unhappy.
00:11:49I put a curse upon his family.
00:11:53Well, I thought lovebirds always flew around in tears.
00:11:58Estelle's talking politics.
00:12:00What's the matter, election jitters?
00:12:01No.
00:12:02How can I lose?
00:12:03Masterson and all his papers in back of me.
00:12:06My future father-in-law has never backed a loser.
00:12:08You know that.
00:12:08Well, if he spoils his record this time, I'll have to hock my stethoscope.
00:12:11I know that.
00:12:12You're betting on a sure thing, Dudley.
00:12:14He isn't missing a trick.
00:12:15Look at that.
00:12:16Posters at a private party.
00:12:18The whole marriage is just another campaign stunt to him.
00:12:22Insisting we hold it the day before the election.
00:12:24So that I'll get a good publicity break on election day.
00:12:27Wallace.
00:12:28I think you've had enough to drink.
00:12:30No, Estelle.
00:12:31I'd like to go home.
00:12:33Yes, dear.
00:12:34Can we drop you, Dudley?
00:12:35Yes, thanks.
00:12:40The curse is working.
00:12:42She has the look of a shrew.
00:12:46Here, Tom.
00:12:53Jennifer, what's that curse thou wast chattering about?
00:12:57Each bully must marry the wrong woman.
00:13:01Ha!
00:13:01What a curse.
00:13:03Every man who marries, marries the wrong woman.
00:13:08True suffering cometh when a man is in love with the woman he cannot marry.
00:13:14Father, suppose a man were in love with a witch.
00:13:17With me.
00:13:18I would not marry him.
00:13:20Come on.
00:13:21Oh.
00:13:22Pardon me.
00:13:23I need air.
00:13:25For tonight I'll marry, marry me.
00:13:28Tomorrow I'll be sober.
00:13:30Let's get out of here.
00:13:33Let's go for a little ride.
00:13:38Room?
00:13:41Father.
00:13:43Give me a body.
00:13:44Oh, no.
00:13:46Thou didst get into enough trouble with thy last one.
00:13:49Thou canst not give me a body.
00:13:52Thou wouldst not even know how to begin.
00:13:53No.
00:13:54I'd maybe make a little fire.
00:13:58As thy last body was destroyed by flames, I knew one would be born in flames.
00:14:04Prove it.
00:14:04Start that great house on fire.
00:14:07A house there for pilgrims.
00:14:09Yes.
00:14:09It would be a pleasure burning that.
00:14:12All right.
00:14:12I will.
00:14:14Wara, wara, fizzle, tizzle.
00:14:16Let the flame begin to sizzle.
00:14:20P-I-L-G-R-I-M-H-O-D-E-L.
00:14:27Goodbye, Father.
00:14:29Goodbye, Jennifer.
00:14:30Be a bad girl.
00:14:38That's the Pilgrim Hotel.
00:14:39It would have to be right on our way home.
00:14:41We'll have to stop.
00:14:42Then you wouldn't go through fire for your future wife.
00:14:52Boy, look at those flames.
00:14:54I never saw such a fire.
00:14:55Is there anywhere we can get through?
00:14:57Sorry, Mr. Woolley.
00:14:58It's all blocked off.
00:15:01Some firebug must have touched this off.
00:15:03Working a good job.
00:15:06This is the craziest fire I've ever seen.
00:15:09Laps up water like a cat.
00:15:12You sure everybody got out all right?
00:15:14Yes, sir.
00:15:15We've checked every room.
00:15:15Yeah, they're all accounted for.
00:15:17It's all right, man.
00:15:18Everybody's safe.
00:15:19Come on, get these people back.
00:15:20We've got to have more.
00:15:21Looks as if we're stuck here for a while.
00:15:23Tell them who you are.
00:15:24They'll have to make waves.
00:15:26I'm sorry, Estelle.
00:15:26Mr. Woolley!
00:15:27Where are you going?
00:15:30Where's Mr. Woolley?
00:15:33Yes, Mr. Woolley.
00:15:34Make waves for the next governor.
00:15:38Would you like to go through, Mr. Woolley?
00:15:39Yes, thank you.
00:15:40Stand up there.
00:15:40Folks, let him get back.
00:15:42I'm voting for you, Mr. Woolley.
00:15:43There goes a great guy.
00:15:45Hello, Mr. Woolley.
00:15:47Don't get too close.
00:15:48I've got a bet riding on you.
00:15:50How did it happen, Alan?
00:15:51Nobody seems to know.
00:15:52There's an explosion on the roof.
00:15:54The top floor went like that.
00:15:55Then the fifth.
00:15:57Then the fourth.
00:15:58Now it's on the third.
00:15:59Pretty soon it'll be on the second.
00:16:01And then the first.
00:16:01Then it'll all cave in on the basement.
00:16:04What's so funny?
00:16:05Oh, it's fully insured.
00:16:07And I love building new things.
00:16:09I want to build it in a classic Gothic design.
00:16:12Don't you love Gothic, huh?
00:16:13Quiet.
00:16:15What is that?
00:16:16Did you hear that voice?
00:16:26Somebody's inside.
00:16:28Listen.
00:16:29I didn't hear anything.
00:16:31It's so clear.
00:16:33A woman's voice.
00:16:35Ah, there's nobody in there.
00:16:37They've looked everywhere.
00:16:38Wait, wait.
00:16:39There it is again.
00:16:55Here I am, Mr. Woolley.
00:16:57Over here.
00:16:58Where?
00:16:59I can't see.
00:17:01Just walk.
00:17:02You'll find me.
00:17:05Keep walking.
00:17:07This way.
00:17:08This way.
00:17:09I can't see you.
00:17:09Are you all right?
00:17:10I think so.
00:17:11Two legs.
00:17:12Two arms.
00:17:13A face.
00:17:14Hair.
00:17:14Yes.
00:17:15I seem to be complete.
00:17:16Why don't you come out?
00:17:17I've been waiting for you, Mr. Woolley.
00:17:20Where are you?
00:17:21You're getting warmer.
00:17:23Here's my hand.
00:17:26How can I get you out of here?
00:17:27I can't see a thing.
00:17:28I can see you.
00:17:30How do you do, Mr. Woolley?
00:17:31Never mind how I am.
00:17:32Let's get out of here.
00:17:33Just a moment.
00:17:34Have you a gazing glass?
00:17:36A what?
00:17:36A mirror.
00:17:37I want to see what I look like.
00:17:38At a time like this?
00:17:39I'm cold.
00:17:41Cold in this furnace?
00:17:42But I have no clothes.
00:17:44No clothes.
00:17:45Here.
00:17:45Put this on.
00:17:47How did you get here?
00:17:49On the top floor.
00:17:51Why do you look away?
00:17:52Am I not pretty?
00:17:53Who cares?
00:17:54Come on.
00:17:56Get up.
00:17:57Get up.
00:17:58I can't.
00:17:59Here.
00:17:59I'll carry you.
00:18:01Things are funny when you're not used to them, aren't they?
00:18:05Huh?
00:18:06Why are you in such a hurry?
00:18:07Why?
00:18:09The whole building was on the third floor and now it's fallen to the second.
00:18:12When this ceiling gives way, we'll be buried alive.
00:18:14Nothing will happen to us.
00:18:16You don't know what you're talking about.
00:18:18Yes, I do.
00:18:19Ah!
00:18:20Here's the door.
00:18:20Ah!
00:18:21Ah!
00:18:22Ah!
00:18:23Ah!
00:18:28Ah!
00:18:31Ah!
00:18:34Ah!
00:18:35Ah!
00:18:37Ah!
00:18:37Ah!
00:18:37Ah!
00:18:37This way's blocked.
00:18:38The bar is on the window.
00:18:42Where are you?
00:18:43I found a better coat and a mirror.
00:18:47Mmm.
00:18:48A bird.
00:18:49Oh, I'm a blonde.
00:18:52Would you rather I be a brunette?
00:18:54If you don't get out of this fire, you'll be a redhead.
00:18:56Don't you realize...
00:19:14That was the second floor.
00:19:18Well, there's no way out.
00:19:21We're goners, little girl.
00:19:24Perhaps I should be little.
00:19:27I'm just a little girl.
00:19:27Just as high as your heart.
00:19:29Did you hear what I said? We're trapped.
00:19:32Just we, too.
00:19:34Look, before I got here, what hit you on the head?
00:19:38I felt nothing until your hand touched mine.
00:19:42Oh, I see.
00:19:44It was nice meeting you.
00:19:46Oh, would you like to leave now?
00:19:48It would be a pleasure.
00:19:50But that door is now a wall.
00:19:52Oh, well, then we can use the one behind the screen.
00:19:59The...
00:19:59Quick, it's our only chance.
00:20:01I want to fix my hair.
00:20:02Come on, while you still have a head.
00:20:26Do you like blondes?
00:20:28Mr. Wally, may I get a picture, please?
00:20:29Hold it right there.
00:20:31He saved somebody!
00:20:33All right, stand back, people.
00:20:36Get down there.
00:20:39You all right? I guess so.
00:20:41Well, you certainly gave me a scare.
00:20:43Wally, take me away from these people.
00:20:46Here, Dudley. She's suffering from shock.
00:20:48Well, uh...
00:20:50I guess I'd better take you to our hospital, then, huh?
00:20:57Oh, well...
00:20:57I hope she's all right.
00:20:59It's only natural for you to be concerned.
00:21:01Now, Estelle, I've told you a dozen times.
00:21:03There's no point in you to...
00:21:04Well?
00:21:05It's amazing.
00:21:06Not a scratch on her. Not a burn.
00:21:08You must be relieved.
00:21:09Dudley, you've known me all my life.
00:21:10She never met Wally before.
00:21:11The girl's suffering from delusions.
00:21:13You see? She has delusions.
00:21:14Well, I haven't.
00:21:16Estelle, you must believe me.
00:21:18Listen to me.
00:21:19I've never seen her before.
00:21:21I'll never see her again.
00:21:50I'll never see her again.
00:21:50Dear, you ought to let...
00:21:51But it's silly to drive me home and then back here.
00:21:53You need rest.
00:21:53But, darling, it...
00:21:54I know what's best.
00:21:55You have to get used to pleasing me sometimes, Wally.
00:21:57All right, dear.
00:21:58Oh, you still smell of smoke.
00:22:01Good night, darling.
00:22:03Good night.
00:22:14Susie.
00:22:15You know you can't come in until breakfast time?
00:22:19Now, Scott.
00:22:21Scott.
00:22:24Susie.
00:22:25Susie!
00:22:33Susie?
00:22:37Susie, where are you?
00:22:39Hello, darling.
00:22:40I thought you'd never get rid of that girl.
00:22:43What are you doing here?
00:22:44Waiting for you.
00:22:46But the hospital...
00:22:47I didn't like it there.
00:22:49How did you get here?
00:22:52You wouldn't believe me if I told you.
00:22:56What am I to do with you?
00:22:58Just look on me as an old friend of the family.
00:23:00But I never laid eyes on you before.
00:23:02Come here, Wally.
00:23:03Am I not an attractive female?
00:23:05What's that got to do with your being here?
00:23:07Am I?
00:23:08Yes, yes, you're very pretty.
00:23:11Take my hand again.
00:23:12Oh, now, come.
00:23:13I know you've had a terrible experience.
00:23:14And now a pleasant one.
00:23:17You have a very nice hand.
00:23:20And now it can shake mine good night.
00:23:23Your hand is cold.
00:23:24Well, so is yours.
00:23:26Yes, good night.
00:23:27Let mine rest in yours a moment.
00:23:30See?
00:23:31It's growing warmer.
00:23:32Well, that's fine.
00:23:33That's fine.
00:23:37Amusing-looking chap, isn't he?
00:23:38Yes.
00:23:39Ancestor of mine.
00:23:41I'm aware he is.
00:23:42Jonathan Mouley.
00:23:44He would have been more hospitable.
00:23:46Oh, I don't think so.
00:23:48Well, I have a busy day tomorrow.
00:23:49It's time for beddy-bye.
00:23:51Take my hand again.
00:23:53You know, you're becoming a problem.
00:23:54Am I?
00:23:55Yes, and that is not the solution.
00:23:58See, it isn't respectable for you to be sitting in a stranger's house.
00:24:02I like your resisting me.
00:24:04Oh, you do.
00:24:05Well, do you know what I'm going to do with you now?
00:24:08Yes.
00:24:10Get up, please.
00:24:13Where are you taking me, Wally?
00:24:15We're going out.
00:24:16Good night, Jonathan.
00:24:20I'm going to give you some money, and then you can go back wherever you came from.
00:24:23Oh, no, not yet.
00:24:24Oh, yes.
00:24:25Right now.
00:24:26Oh, this is a lovely sensation.
00:24:29Even nicer than flying.
00:24:36What's going on, Governor?
00:24:37Oh, not Governor yet, Fred.
00:24:40She was in a fire, and she lost her clothes.
00:24:42No, I didn't.
00:24:42I didn't have any.
00:24:46Evening, Mr. Wally.
00:24:47Have you any money, Joe?
00:24:48About eight bucks.
00:24:49Well, I only have ten.
00:24:51Here.
00:24:52Give it all to her and take her any place she wants to go.
00:24:55I'll pay you tomorrow.
00:24:56Yes, sir.
00:24:56Now, for heaven's sake, be good.
00:24:58What'll I do with the coat?
00:25:00Well, when you're through with it, send it to the police.
00:25:13It didn't belong to her.
00:25:15I hope that cab is heated.
00:25:21Where to, lady?
00:25:24Where to?
00:25:27Where to?
00:25:45Where to?
00:26:07Oh.
00:26:08Oh.
00:26:08I hope I didn't butt in on a pleasant dream.
00:26:10Hmm.
00:26:10Just wanted to make sure you're all right.
00:26:13You certainly weren't a drink.
00:26:14I'll say, I...
00:26:15Okay, upstairs you go, and I've got a good night's sleep.
00:26:18I'll take charge of this.
00:26:19Oh, Dudley, she was here.
00:26:20Who was it?
00:26:21The girl I saved in the fire.
00:26:24That's impossible.
00:26:25I left her in the hospital, she was sleeping like an angel.
00:26:28Well, at some hospital, she got away.
00:26:29And some angel.
00:26:31Now, wait a minute.
00:26:34Tell me this again slowly.
00:26:35No, tomorrow.
00:26:36Tomorrow.
00:26:36I've had enough for one day.
00:26:38Well, how about me now?
00:26:40I've got $10,000 tied up in this election.
00:26:42If this gets out, you're a dead goose.
00:26:44Think of the scandal the night before your wedding.
00:26:46Dudley, that's it.
00:26:47The election.
00:26:48That girl was sent here by the opposition.
00:26:50They're trying to frame me.
00:26:51You're right.
00:26:52Brain vocal in that bunch wouldn't stop at anything.
00:26:54Did anybody see her?
00:26:55Nobody will do any talking.
00:26:56Good.
00:26:56I'll put her down in the hospital books with an amnesia case.
00:26:59Give the police a description.
00:27:00Was she wearing that fur coat?
00:27:01Oh.
00:27:03Maybe...
00:27:04Maybe you better not say anything to the police.
00:27:06Everything's all right now.
00:27:06I got rid of her.
00:27:08Well, try and forget it, then.
00:27:11You want a pill to make you sleep?
00:27:12No.
00:27:13No, thanks.
00:27:14I'm much calmer now.
00:27:17Oh, make sure the door locks.
00:27:19Okay.
00:27:20Relax now.
00:27:23Good night, Wally.
00:27:26Now close this door, Wally.
00:27:30I said close this door, Wally.
00:27:38Now come here.
00:27:40I'm coming.
00:27:42My pajamas.
00:27:45Now I don't want to call the police, but I know your whole scheme.
00:27:48You do?
00:27:49And I know who's behind it all.
00:27:51You don't.
00:27:52Want me to mention names?
00:27:53What names?
00:27:54County Chairman Martin J. Rainfogle.
00:27:57That's a nice name.
00:27:58Want another?
00:27:59Mm-hmm.
00:28:00State Senator Conrad O'Hara, Jr.
00:28:04Sheriff Peter L. Glasshauser and all his wardiness.
00:28:08How much are they paying you?
00:28:10Nothing.
00:28:11Oh.
00:28:12Hm?
00:28:13You're just doing it for love, hm?
00:28:16Yes.
00:28:17Father thought it'd be a good idea.
00:28:18Who is your father?
00:28:19Oh, you've never met him.
00:28:21But he doesn't want this state to have a good administration.
00:28:23Father doesn't want any state to have a good administration.
00:28:25But he's out to get me, particularly.
00:28:27Yes.
00:28:31You know, I'm a pretty good judge of character.
00:28:34And I don't think you're really a bad girl.
00:28:37Don't you?
00:28:38Well, you're very young.
00:28:40Hm, I'm older than you'd guess.
00:28:42You know, I don't think you ought to go back to that father.
00:28:45I'd much rather stay here with you.
00:28:48You would?
00:28:50You really would, wouldn't you?
00:28:54Now I understand.
00:28:56Just because I was of some slight help in getting you out of that blazing inferno,
00:29:01perhaps you are momentarily infatuated with me.
00:29:05But it isn't love.
00:29:06And I'm not in love with you.
00:29:09Well, I guess this'll take longer than I planned.
00:29:12I'm afraid you have rather a romantic mind.
00:29:15You see, love isn't just a matter of two people meeting under romantic circumstances.
00:29:21Love, that is, love is really worthwhile, grows slowly.
00:29:28Real love is like a baby.
00:29:43Yes, there have been thousands and thousands of couples just like us.
00:29:48Going their separate ways, never realizing the other was waiting somewhere.
00:29:55Why, Romeo and Juliet knew right away, that's what Shakespeare's trying to tell us.
00:30:00Of course, the case of Auntie and Beatrice is a trifle different.
00:30:05He saw her only once.
00:30:07But in that moment, the whole world was bathed in a new light.
00:30:12It wasn't just a humdrum world anymore where you had to get up in the morning and meet a lot
00:30:16of stupid people.
00:30:18Who's that?
00:30:198 o'clock, Mr. Woolworth.
00:30:21What?
00:30:218 o'clock.
00:30:22That's impossible.
00:30:25But it's true.
00:30:27Good morning, Wally.
00:30:28Good morning, Jennifer.
00:30:30It's fantastic.
00:30:31It just seems like a few minutes since I came in.
00:30:35Don't you want your breakfast?
00:30:38You're as bad as when you were a little boy.
00:30:41Even on a day like this, I have to call you half a dozen times.
00:30:46Oh, and what a, what a beautiful day it is, too.
00:30:50Happy is the bride that the sun shines on.
00:30:56Good morning.
00:30:58Mmm.
00:31:00That smells good.
00:31:03You don't know how long it's been since I've eaten.
00:31:06Mr. Woolworth.
00:31:07I'll explain later, Margaret.
00:31:08What can you possibly say?
00:31:10Well, you...
00:31:11No, no, no, dear.
00:31:12Not like that.
00:31:13First you butter them.
00:31:15Hmm?
00:31:15Then a little syrup.
00:31:17Mr. Woolworth, I've worked for your family for 30 years.
00:31:20Been almost a mother to you.
00:31:22And to think that on this day of all days...
00:31:27Oh, yes.
00:31:28And send up some evening gowns, too, please.
00:31:30Well, you see, everything the young lady had was burned.
00:31:34Send them up right away.
00:31:38You know, I, I think you've broken my record for waffles.
00:31:42Well, Margaret likes nothing better than to make them.
00:31:45Those people are still downstairs waiting.
00:31:47You know, Margaret, these have made a great hit with her.
00:31:50What did you say?
00:31:51Those people.
00:31:53I told you they were here three batches of waffles ago.
00:31:55You did?
00:31:56I don't remember.
00:31:57Uh, people waiting?
00:31:59Who?
00:32:00Who are they?
00:32:00You'll find out.
00:32:02Excuse me.
00:32:06Hmm.
00:32:06More waffles?
00:32:08There's no more batter.
00:32:14Oh!
00:32:15I'm sorry, Margaret.
00:32:16You better be sorry for yourself.
00:32:18Uh-huh.
00:32:19It's Miss Masterson downstairs with our father.
00:32:23Who?
00:32:24Miss Masterson, the lady you're getting married to.
00:32:27Oh!
00:32:32Good morning.
00:32:33Good morning.
00:32:34I'd forgotten that you were going to drop in.
00:32:37We didn't say we were.
00:32:39What's the matter with you?
00:32:40You've seen the morning papers.
00:32:41I've got you all over the front page.
00:32:43Oh, that's great.
00:32:43Great.
00:32:44Dear, hadn't you better go?
00:32:46It's bad luck for the groom to see the bride before the wedding.
00:32:49Don't be ridiculous.
00:32:50Saving that girl was the luckiest break yet.
00:32:52You don't know what that can do for you.
00:32:53Well, I have a rough idea.
00:32:55I've arranged a special broadcast about the fire.
00:32:57You're going to be interviewed.
00:32:58I'll have you back by 11.
00:32:59Oh, that's fine.
00:33:00That's fine.
00:33:01That gives me plenty of time.
00:33:02Well, shall we go?
00:33:03No, I'm going to stay here a while.
00:33:05I want to see what I can do about brightening up this antique shop.
00:33:08The photographers will be here right after the wedding.
00:33:10Dear, there's no time for that.
00:33:11Run along.
00:33:11Now, Estelle, I'm a little on edge, I mean, with the wedding at noon.
00:33:15I'd feel much better if you came along.
00:33:17Yeah, that's a good girl.
00:33:21Oh, excuse me.
00:33:22I'll get my hat.
00:33:32How did that happen?
00:33:33It just slammed shut.
00:33:36Oh, I'm terribly sorry.
00:33:38There's rather a heavy draft rolling through the house.
00:33:51What's it going out with her for?
00:33:52Why shouldn't he?
00:33:55He's going to marry her in less than two hours.
00:33:58And as for you, young woman, oh, go to sleep.
00:34:03After all my work.
00:34:12No, I don't want to go.
00:34:16In two hours, that doesn't give me much time.
00:34:19I think your father were here.
00:34:22What seems to be the trouble?
00:34:24Oh, good morning, father.
00:34:27I need some advice.
00:34:29He's tougher than I thought.
00:34:30I can't seem to make him love me.
00:34:32Thou art the buriest bangler.
00:34:34I must have been drunk to give thee a body.
00:34:37Oh, don't smoke so much, father.
00:34:39Did something go wrong with thy filter?
00:34:41My what?
00:34:43Thy love filter.
00:34:44Thou gavest him one, I presume?
00:34:47I thought I could do it bare-handed.
00:34:50At thou witcher a woman, prepare a love filter at once.
00:34:53Dost thou recall the incantation?
00:34:55Listen.
00:34:55Let's go.
00:34:59Let's go.
00:35:12Let's go.
00:35:19Let's go.
00:35:21Now for you do cook and all compelling brew.
00:35:26So that he who sips will be slave to love's captivity.
00:35:32Now put in a cool place until ready.
00:35:36What will it taste like, father?
00:35:38Like cold water, but will set Master Woolley's blood on fire.
00:35:42Then I'll treat him like a slave.
00:35:45I'll make him suffer, body and soul.
00:35:48Speaking of bodies, I have a notion to make a personal appearance myself.
00:35:52Of course, I'll have to burn a house down to do it.
00:35:56Not this one, Father.
00:35:58I've a better idea.
00:35:59The building he's in now, it will force him back to me.
00:36:03Excellent.
00:36:04Good hunting, Jennifer.
00:36:06It is going cool.
00:36:08Now we shall see if thou canst resist me.
00:36:12I'm ready, Master Woolley.
00:36:25Not dressed, Jennifer.
00:36:26Dudley, I'm lucky to be alive.
00:36:27What's happened now?
00:36:29I was making a broadcast telling about the fire last night,
00:36:31and suddenly I was in the middle of another one.
00:36:33A mysterious explosion on the roof.
00:36:34Anybody heard?
00:36:35No, no, we all got out, all right.
00:36:37What's wrong with this door?
00:36:42Margaret!
00:36:45What are you two doing in my bedroom?
00:36:47What happened?
00:36:48Oh, I...
00:36:50I must have dozed off.
00:36:52You go on upstairs and get dressed.
00:36:53You need a stimulant.
00:36:54Where's the brandy?
00:36:55Did you get rid of that girl?
00:36:57That girl?
00:36:58Oh, she must still be here.
00:37:00Well, she won't be here for long.
00:37:07Oh, you listen to me, young lady.
00:37:10Come on, come on.
00:37:11Get up.
00:37:12I'm listening, Mr. Woolley.
00:37:15Why do you look at me that way?
00:37:19Oh, my dress.
00:37:20Do you like it?
00:37:21Well, I don't know.
00:37:24It's such a shock to see you dressed.
00:37:26I mean, you're beautiful.
00:37:29Enough to make a man fall in love?
00:37:31Mere physical beauty isn't everything.
00:37:33That's what I thought.
00:37:35Now, look here, Jennifer.
00:37:36I don't like the tone of your voice.
00:37:38Well, I swallowed some smoke last night, and I've just swallowed some more now.
00:37:41But that's not going to stop me from...
00:37:43Oh, and Woolley wants a drink of water.
00:37:45Nice, cool water.
00:37:48Now, all I have to say is...
00:37:50Drink it, Woolley.
00:37:51And then I'll be glad to hear anything you have to say.
00:37:55You'll find out that no one named Woolley is able to stay away from me.
00:38:01Oh.
00:38:02Oh, I'm awfully sorry.
00:38:04This is terrible.
00:38:05Jennifer, Jennifer.
00:38:06Can you hear me?
00:38:07Dudley, come here.
00:38:10Oh, you...
00:38:11Here, here, drink this.
00:38:14There.
00:38:16There, that's better.
00:38:18Now, how do you feel?
00:38:21I...
00:38:22I feel strange.
00:38:24Hmm?
00:38:24What happened?
00:38:26Well, the picture fell.
00:38:27Does your head hurt?
00:38:29My head?
00:38:31No.
00:38:33It's my heart.
00:38:35I feel so like...
00:38:37Try not to talk.
00:38:38Oh, but I must.
00:38:39I must tell you how I feel.
00:38:42Oh, Woolley.
00:38:43You're so beautiful.
00:38:46Dudley!
00:38:47Dudley!
00:38:48Take my hand.
00:38:49Well, don't stop that again.
00:38:50Oh, my God.
00:38:52Let that man alone.
00:38:54Dudley!
00:38:54Hey, something really happened to her this time.
00:38:56She got an awful stock in her head.
00:38:57That picture...
00:38:58Well, it wasn't your fault now, Woolley.
00:38:59You did it in self-defense.
00:39:00Aren't you glad you drank it, Woolley?
00:39:02What?
00:39:03I didn't drink anything.
00:39:04What's she talking about?
00:39:05Oh, a drink of water.
00:39:06I gave it to her when she was coming to.
00:39:08You gave it to me?
00:39:10You should never force liquids on the person who's unconscious.
00:39:13It may have serious consequences.
00:39:15Oh!
00:39:17Nervous reactions.
00:39:18Come on, we're late for the wedding.
00:39:19Well, what are we going to do?
00:39:20Lock her in this room.
00:39:21But Dudley...
00:39:21Come on before she marries.
00:39:22Oh.
00:39:29Stop worrying.
00:39:30She can't get out.
00:39:31I'll drive.
00:39:32You're too nervous.
00:39:33You'll have to get rid of her after the wedding.
00:39:40Poor little girl.
00:39:41All alone in the world.
00:39:42Except for a no-good father.
00:39:50Don't ever jam your brakes on like that.
00:39:51I didn't jam them.
00:39:52It just stopped.
00:39:54I can't figure it out.
00:39:55Hey, what's that smoke?
00:39:59What happened to him?
00:40:00Who?
00:40:01The fellow we pulled out of the fire.
00:40:02He's gone.
00:40:04How do you like my body, Jennifer?
00:40:07Not too old, not too young.
00:40:08I'm sorry I've forgotten the formula for clothing.
00:40:10I had to borrow the sheet from the ambulance.
00:40:12Right away.
00:40:14Has the potion been administered?
00:40:17Yes.
00:40:18Father, something went wrong with our plan.
00:40:22What?
00:40:22But that love filter never fails.
00:40:25It didn't.
00:40:26But I drank it.
00:40:30Nicodemus.
00:40:31Then you love him.
00:40:32Yes, Father.
00:40:34But he's about to marry someone else.
00:40:37Because of my ancient curse on the Woolies.
00:40:40Do you think if I explained it all to him?
00:40:42By all means do.
00:40:43Telling a mortal you're a witch will only mean the end of you.
00:40:46Then what shall I do?
00:40:47He must not marry her.
00:40:49You won't let him, will you?
00:40:52Let me think.
00:40:53You could make him love me.
00:40:55You can do anything you want.
00:40:57Yes.
00:40:59This problem should be fairly simple.
00:41:02Just leave it all to me.
00:41:04Oh, thank you, Father.
00:41:06Will you leave it to me?
00:41:07I promise.
00:41:09Splendid.
00:41:12I'm still a little bit warm from the fire.
00:41:15Jennifer, fetch me a pair of Master Willie's breeches.
00:41:18We're going to his wedding.
00:41:21I love you truly, truly, dear.
00:41:32Life with its sorrow.
00:41:38Life with its fear.
00:41:41Here, drink this.
00:41:45What is it?
00:41:46Novocaine.
00:41:46120 proof.
00:41:48Down fast, brother.
00:41:49Dudley, if that girl ever gets out of my house.
00:41:51Drink that.
00:41:53Suppose she comes here.
00:41:54It'll be terrible for Estelle.
00:41:55Oh, you'll be all right, yeah.
00:41:57And I'll be sitting pretty.
00:42:00There's your cue.
00:42:04Just play I'm a seeing-eye dog now.
00:42:20Well, can't you smile?
00:42:21You know I wanted a church wedding.
00:42:23Well, you've had everything else your own way.
00:42:24The reception, the honeymoon.
00:42:25I should never have given in to Wallace.
00:42:26It's the last time.
00:42:29She's not here.
00:42:30Stop worrying.
00:42:34Smile.
00:42:45It's welcome.
00:42:45No≫
00:42:51Come, you don't speak!
00:42:53No≫
00:42:54No, you only sÄ…d o'clock.
00:42:54No, here isien.
00:42:56No.
00:43:02No, there...
00:43:05Close that door! It's a hurricane!
00:43:12That bill is ruined!
00:43:13Go back and wait.
00:43:15I'm terribly sorry.
00:43:17That'd be a short delay.
00:43:18We'll get everything straightened out.
00:43:20Music, music.
00:43:21Sing something.
00:43:24I love you truly.
00:43:28That's all I needed.
00:43:29A hurricane on my wedding day.
00:43:31Never mind about that. She just blew in.
00:43:32What?
00:43:33I saw her in the doorway.
00:43:35What do I do?
00:43:36I'll think of something.
00:43:37Come on, get it.
00:43:44Beloved, this is my father.
00:43:47Delighted, Master Willie.
00:43:48I think you've made a little mistake.
00:43:49This is a private room.
00:43:50He's rather crowded downstairs.
00:43:52And a bit windy.
00:43:55Be seated, Master Willie.
00:43:57I should like to have a little talk.
00:43:58Now look here.
00:43:59I'm being married in two minutes.
00:44:01I understand those were your plans.
00:44:03Where?
00:44:03He is being married.
00:44:04Nothing you can do.
00:44:05Would you excuse us?
00:44:06Maybe you'd better.
00:44:07Hurry up.
00:44:08I'll stand guard.
00:44:09Let me fix your pretty tie.
00:44:11You see, Father?
00:44:12He's just like a great guard.
00:44:15My little one tells me she was your overnight guest.
00:44:18Not at my invitation.
00:44:19Oh, no, Father.
00:44:21The poor sweet didn't want me to stay.
00:44:23Were I an ordinary man, Master Willie,
00:44:26a horse-sweeping would no doubt be in order.
00:44:29But I am not an ordinary man.
00:44:32While examining your dwelling,
00:44:35I came upon this.
00:44:38My revolver!
00:44:39You can't force me to marry her!
00:44:41What a banal mind you have.
00:44:44You may hold the weapon.
00:44:48What is this?
00:44:49It's very simple.
00:44:51Here is a bruised flower.
00:44:54I am her father.
00:44:56That is your revolver.
00:44:58You are going to shoot me.
00:45:02I am going to shoot you.
00:45:06Will that be of help?
00:45:08No, no.
00:45:09Father knows, Beth.
00:45:12Warm, Master Willie?
00:45:14You don't know what warm is.
00:45:16I am told one of your forebears
00:45:18made a hobby of bonfires.
00:45:21What a pity he cannot be here
00:45:23to see his descendant burn.
00:45:26Yes, Master Willie.
00:45:30Burn.
00:45:31In the modern way.
00:45:33Strapped in a chair.
00:45:35Heated by electricity.
00:45:41I anticipated that.
00:45:43Pistol, pistol, let there be
00:45:45Murder in the first degree.
00:45:50Thank you so much.
00:45:54Amusing invention.
00:45:56The electric chair.
00:45:58What will I think of next?
00:46:07What's happened?
00:46:08I...
00:46:11It was an accident.
00:46:12It was no accident.
00:46:14He killed me in cold blood.
00:46:16Kindly notify the authorities.
00:46:21Oh, he's frightened you.
00:46:23He told me he'd help me.
00:46:29How is he?
00:46:31He's dead.
00:46:32Oh, it doesn't matter.
00:46:35Doesn't matter.
00:46:36Her own father.
00:46:38Oh, but that's not my father.
00:46:39That's just a body he picked up.
00:46:42Oh.
00:46:43I didn't do it, Dudley.
00:46:44Now, you'll be my witness.
00:46:46All right.
00:46:46Well, I wasn't here.
00:46:48Oh.
00:46:49Oh.
00:46:49Good.
00:47:03He's as nervous as a bride.
00:47:05One might think that we're going to hang him.
00:47:10It's up to you.
00:47:11I tell them.
00:47:12What have I got to do with it?
00:47:14You're handling the details of the wedding.
00:47:39You're handling the details of the wedding.
00:47:50Truly, truly.
00:47:52Empty.
00:47:53I thought I saw smoke come out.
00:47:56I know you're here somewhere.
00:47:59How could you, Father?
00:48:01You know I love him.
00:48:03That's exactly why I'm disposed of him.
00:48:07Where are you?
00:48:12For tonight I'll marry, marry, marry, be.
00:48:15For tonight I'll marry, marry, be.
00:48:17For tonight I'll marry, marry, be.
00:48:19Tomorrow I'll be so over.
00:48:23Come out of that bottle.
00:48:25Come out.
00:48:26Oh, no.
00:48:27I could float here forever.
00:48:31Well, you're not going to.
00:48:34Oh.
00:48:37Wally, don't go upstairs.
00:48:39But maybe she killed herself.
00:48:41Wally, Wally.
00:48:43What's wrong with him?
00:48:45Oh, I think we'd better call the police.
00:48:46What's he done?
00:48:47Nothing.
00:48:48It's the other fellow.
00:48:48What other fellow?
00:48:49The one in the chair.
00:48:50Now, keep calm.
00:48:51I'll be right back.
00:48:53Estelle.
00:48:54Estelle.
00:48:57Estelle.
00:49:08Estelle.
00:49:14Estelle.
00:49:15Estelle.
00:49:16Estelle.
00:49:16Estelle.
00:49:17Estelle.
00:49:20Estelle.
00:49:21Estelle.
00:49:21Estelle.
00:49:23Estelle.
00:49:24Estelle.
00:49:27Estelle.
00:49:28Estelle.
00:49:29Estelle.
00:49:30Estelle.
00:49:32Estelle.
00:49:34Estelle.
00:49:34Estelle.
00:49:35Estelle.
00:49:35Estelle.
00:49:36to take advantage of her father's affection.
00:49:41Now, harken to her father's curse.
00:49:43I'm going to turn you into a frog.
00:49:46A frog, a frog sitting on a log.
00:49:51What's the next line?
00:49:54You wait and I serve her up.
00:49:56You'll be sorry.
00:50:02For tonight I'll marry Mary B.
00:50:05For tonight I'll marry Mary B.
00:50:08Tomorrow I'll be sober.
00:50:12What did you want the police for?
00:50:13It's all right now. He fell out the window.
00:50:15He what?
00:50:15Not Wally, the other fellow.
00:50:20And hand me, you foul minions of the law.
00:50:23Make it easy, Pop.
00:50:24I'm going to cast a spell upon you.
00:50:26From now on, you're a rat.
00:50:27Rat, rat, fatter than a cat.
00:50:30How does the rest of it go?
00:50:32So, I'm a rat, huh?
00:50:34Call the wagon. Come on.
00:50:35If I could only remember the words, I could turn you into kangaroos.
00:50:42They're taking him away.
00:50:45Why didn't I have them take you too?
00:50:47Perhaps it's because you're beginning to love me.
00:50:49Please don't stop that again.
00:50:51Wally, I thought father would be friendly.
00:50:54I wouldn't let him or anyone else harm you.
00:50:56Oh, I know you wouldn't.
00:50:57But it's true.
00:50:58Last night I was your enemy, but now I've changed.
00:51:02I'll love you. I'll always love you.
00:51:04If I could die, I would do that for you.
00:51:06Will you just be a sweet girl?
00:51:08Hey, they're ready.
00:51:10Goodbye.
00:51:11Where are you going?
00:51:12I told you before.
00:51:14But I thought that now.
00:51:15After all I've done for you.
00:51:17You've been very obliging.
00:51:18But now I'm going downstairs to be married.
00:51:21That's what you think.
00:51:33You've got to go through with it this time.
00:51:34I'll take care of you.
00:51:40Hurry up, hurry up.
00:51:41Let's get this over with me.
00:51:42He'll pay for this.
00:51:45Do I look all right?
00:51:46Who cares? Go on.
00:51:51Well, what are you standing there for?
00:51:54Dudley has the ring.
00:51:56I'll see what's keeping you.
00:51:57Wallace.
00:51:58You come back here.
00:51:59What's the matter with you?
00:52:00Did you ever have one of those days when just nothing seems to go right?
00:52:03Wallace!
00:52:05I love you too.
00:52:11Got here too late.
00:52:12Dudley.
00:52:15She really did love me.
00:52:17She said she'd die for me.
00:52:19Oh, my darling.
00:52:20At last.
00:52:21Horton?
00:52:24I've had enough of this.
00:52:25Now, Michelle.
00:52:27Mr. Whitley.
00:52:28This one.
00:52:29Dr. Whitley.
00:52:37That's a big misunderstanding.
00:52:39If you'll just give me a few minutes, I'll...
00:52:41I'll give you just ten seconds to get out of this house.
00:52:44All of you.
00:52:45We won't be here that long.
00:52:47You'd better get out of the state.
00:52:48Estelle, I'm terribly...
00:52:49Get out!
00:52:50No, I can explain everything.
00:52:52Uh, after the fire, you see, she spent the night...
00:52:56On second thought, maybe we'd better just go.
00:52:59Harley.
00:53:00Mr. Masterson.
00:53:02I'll expose you in every paper I own.
00:53:04This will not only cost you the election,
00:53:06but I'll encourage the voters of this state to tear you limb from limb.
00:53:08I'll head the tower and feather party personally.
00:53:12When I'm through with you, you'll wish you'd never been born.
00:53:14I love you truly.
00:53:19Will you shut up?
00:53:24Extra paper!
00:53:25Big Willie's scandal!
00:53:26Read all about it!
00:53:27Extra paper!
00:53:28Big Willie's scandal!
00:53:29Extra!
00:53:30Read all about it!
00:53:31Wallace!
00:53:32Willie!
00:53:33Extra paper!
00:53:35Extra paper!
00:53:36Big Willie's scandal!
00:53:38What does it say?
00:53:39Well, it's just as I thought.
00:53:40He's finished.
00:53:41Well, I'm bankrupt.
00:53:43Go and get her, I say.
00:53:46Bring my daughter to me.
00:53:48Bring her here or buy Jezebel...
00:53:51Shut up!
00:53:51Quiet!
00:53:52I want to get some sleep!
00:53:54Hey!
00:53:54Push this stub bug out of here!
00:53:56For the last time, will you pipe down?
00:53:59I tell you, my daughter ran off with a bumpkin named Woolie.
00:54:03Wallace Woolie.
00:54:04Sure she did.
00:54:05Now, you just take it easy.
00:54:07You'll be out of here tomorrow.
00:54:08Tomorrow may be too late.
00:54:10There's no telling what she'll do.
00:54:12Oh, I know a couple of ways to make you shut up.
00:54:15I know a hundred ways to silence you forever.
00:54:20But I don't remember them now.
00:54:22This is terrible!
00:54:24She'll marry him.
00:54:26Wallace Woolie's gonna marry his daughter.
00:54:29Yeah?
00:54:30And then you'll see what'll happen to Master Willie.
00:54:34I'll wreak my vengeance on them both.
00:54:37She thinks she can run away from me.
00:54:40But I cannot see her because of the fog.
00:54:42But I can see you, Jennifer.
00:54:45She smiles.
00:54:47She presses closer to him.
00:54:51Darling?
00:54:52Yes, Wally?
00:54:54You're guessing about those mileposts, aren't you?
00:54:58No, I can see them.
00:55:01I have rather unusual eyes.
00:55:04Well, if we're really over the state line, I can relax.
00:55:07Wally, what color would those feathers be?
00:55:11Feathers?
00:55:11Oh, I don't know.
00:55:14But the tar would be black.
00:55:17Let's stop, Wally.
00:55:22I guess we'll have to.
00:55:24I can't even see the front of the car.
00:55:33Mighty nice scenery they have around here.
00:55:36Lovely, isn't it?
00:55:37We'd better walk to the next town.
00:55:39Well, I thought we'd stay here.
00:55:40Here?
00:55:41Why, we're right in the middle of nowhere.
00:55:43How do you know, Mr. Woolie?
00:55:55Good evening.
00:55:57If you're looking for a place to stay, I have a lovely room.
00:56:00Well, thank you.
00:56:02Do you have two rooms?
00:56:04No, I'm sorry.
00:56:06Aren't you married?
00:56:09You're dressed for a wedding.
00:56:12Well, where's the nearest justice of the peace?
00:56:14He'll be down in a minute.
00:56:16Henry?
00:56:16Customers.
00:56:25Let's see.
00:56:27One dollar for waking up the county clerk and helping you get your license.
00:56:33Two dollars for the ceremony.
00:56:37One fifty for lodgings.
00:56:40Rent of my pajamas, twenty-five cents.
00:56:44A rent of nightgown.
00:56:47I'll have to charge you fifty cents for that.
00:56:50Sort of an heirloom.
00:56:54There.
00:56:55Oh, what a perfect fit.
00:56:57My grandmother was just a little bit of a thing like you.
00:57:01Oh, shall I light the fire?
00:57:03Oh, no.
00:57:04I'd like to try.
00:57:05I must start learning to be a good housewife.
00:57:08Well, let's see.
00:57:10You just go like that, don't you?
00:57:14Of course.
00:57:16They're like any other matches.
00:57:18Well, good night, my dear.
00:57:20I'm sure you're going to be very happy.
00:57:22He's a fine young man.
00:57:24And I hope your boys take after him.
00:57:28And I hope your girls take after you.
00:57:47Come in, honey.
00:57:48By Radimentis, on fire!
00:57:52Oh!
00:57:57Olly.
00:57:58Yes, dear?
00:57:59Did you see the way that fire came on?
00:58:01What's fire?
00:58:02All I can see in this room is you.
00:58:05Darling.
00:58:07Do you want to have children?
00:58:09Of course.
00:58:10I'd like three little girls exactly like you.
00:58:16I think I'd better tell you.
00:58:18You'll never forgive me if you found out later.
00:58:21Ah, confession.
00:58:22Yes, Wally.
00:58:23Well, I haven't exactly been a saint myself.
00:58:25We'll compare notes in the morning.
00:58:26No, I must tell you now.
00:58:29I don't know how to begin.
00:58:31Then don't.
00:58:34Wally, doesn't it seem strange to you, the way we met?
00:58:38It's all been like a dream.
00:58:40It was witchcraft.
00:58:42That's it, of course.
00:58:43You see, Wally...
00:58:45It's getting late.
00:58:48But I want you to know what I am.
00:58:50All right.
00:58:51All right, what are you?
00:58:56I'm a witch.
00:58:58A witch?
00:58:59I knew it all the time.
00:59:01You did?
00:59:02Of course.
00:59:03I've been under your spell since the moment I met you.
00:59:05Then it doesn't matter?
00:59:07You don't mind being married to a witch?
00:59:09I love it.
00:59:11I'll try so hard to be a good wife.
00:59:13And I'll only use witchcraft to help you.
00:59:15What could you do, for instance?
00:59:17Well, I could make you win the election tomorrow.
00:59:19Oh, it would take witchcraft to do that.
00:59:22I think I can manage it.
00:59:23Fine, fine.
00:59:25After all, I'm not just an ordinary witch.
00:59:27My family dates back to the days of Pompeii.
00:59:29Were you mixed up in that?
00:59:31My father was.
00:59:32Ever hear of the decline and fall of the Roman Empire?
00:59:34That was our crowd.
00:59:35You're marvelous.
00:59:37Now, seriously, dear.
00:59:38Do you like to sleep on the left side or the right side?
00:59:40You don't believe me.
00:59:42Wally, try to understand.
00:59:45270 years ago.
00:59:46That's too long a story, dear.
00:59:48Can't it keep till tomorrow?
00:59:49Wally, 270 years ago.
00:59:53You're not listening to me.
00:59:55Yes, dear.
00:59:56Yes, I am.
01:00:00270 years ago.
01:00:07I'll tell you tomorrow.
01:00:18Let me out!
01:00:20Let me out!
01:00:22Oh, my God, I remember the formula for dissolving iron.
01:00:27Let me out!
01:00:28Quiet!
01:00:29Pipe down.
01:00:30I couldn't get any shut-eye all night without that guy yelling like that.
01:00:33Ah, throw him in a solitary.
01:00:34Yeah.
01:00:41Hey, that's Wallace Woolley.
01:00:43Don't tell me they're tossing him in the clink.
01:00:44It looks that way.
01:00:45Well, pay off, brother.
01:00:46They ain't electing no conflict, Governor.
01:00:48Fencing is a cinch.
01:00:49Ah!
01:00:49Why couldn't you keep straight until after you was elected like everybody else does?
01:00:53I'd like to talk to you about Jennifer.
01:00:56We were married last night.
01:00:58Yes, I know.
01:01:00Congratulations, Master Woolley.
01:01:03She's been saying the oddest things.
01:01:05Last night and again this morning.
01:01:07What?
01:01:09Silly things.
01:01:12About, uh, living in Roxford 270 years ago and, uh, being a witch.
01:01:18Beheels above.
01:01:19Don't you think I know?
01:01:20Oh, then she's acted that way before.
01:01:23Well, maybe I can help her.
01:01:26Silence!
01:01:29Let's concentrate.
01:01:31Iron, iron, melt away.
01:01:35Oh, I can't remember a thing.
01:01:39What is the matter with me?
01:01:42I'm afraid you've got a hangover.
01:01:44Don't tell me what I've got.
01:01:46I invented the hangover.
01:01:49It was made in 92, B.C.
01:01:53Did you believe her?
01:01:55That's the important thing.
01:01:57Believe her?
01:01:58But the things she said didn't make any sense.
01:02:00Then there's still the hope.
01:02:02First, I thought she was joking.
01:02:04But she keeps talking about the election.
01:02:06Saying she'll make me win by witchcraft.
01:02:09But that'll prove she's a witch.
01:02:11Master Woolley.
01:02:13See if you can get me out of here.
01:02:16I know how to handle, huh?
01:02:18Well, thanks.
01:02:18I'll do my best.
01:02:19But I'm afraid I haven't much influence in this town anymore.
01:02:26It'll be a fencing, a landslide.
01:02:28Quiet!
01:02:30Three cheers for Wallace Woolley!
01:02:33Hooray!
01:02:34Hooray!
01:02:36Hooray!
01:02:36Hooray!
01:02:37We want Woolley!
01:02:38We want Woolley!
01:02:40We want Woolley!
01:02:41We want Woolley!
01:02:42We want Woolley!
01:02:43We want Woolley!
01:02:46We want Woolley!
01:02:47We want Woolley!
01:02:47We want Woolley!
01:02:56We want Woolley!
01:02:58We want Woolley!
01:03:00We want Woolley!
01:03:01We want Woolley!
01:03:03We want Woolley!
01:03:03We want Woolley!
01:03:04We want Woolley!
01:03:04We want Woolley!
01:03:05We want Woolley!
01:03:08We want Woolley!
01:03:09We want Woolley!
01:03:11We want Woolley!
01:03:12We want Woolley!
01:03:14We want Woolley!
01:03:15We want Woolley!
01:03:17We want Woolley!
01:03:17We want Woolley!
01:03:18We want Woolley!
01:03:18We want Woolley!
01:03:18Wooley is a fraud, an imposter, a hypocritical demigod.
01:03:25That's why I'm asking you to vote for Wallace Wooley.
01:03:30Mr. Masterson.
01:03:31One moment, please.
01:03:33Yes, you said vote for Wooley. Did I?
01:03:37Correction, ladies and gentlemen.
01:03:39The man I am backing is Benzinger.
01:03:42W-O-O-L-E-Y.
01:03:45We want Wooley! We want Wooley!
01:03:48We want Wooley! We want Wooley!
01:03:53We want Wooley!
01:03:56We want Wooley! We want Wooley!
01:04:03We want Wooley! We want Wooley!
01:04:07We want Wooley!
01:04:23That includes every precinct in Kearse Arch County, folks.
01:04:26It looks as if the whole state's going to make it a woolly landslide.
01:04:29More in a minute, folks.
01:04:31I can't believe it.
01:04:32That's just what she said she'd do.
01:04:33There's no other explanation.
01:04:34You mean she's a...
01:04:35You see now, Duddy, why I couldn't go down to campaign headquarters tonight?
01:04:38If this ever gets out...
01:04:39They won't get these Wapasaka figures.
01:04:41But they're not complete.
01:04:42You can't be carrying Wapasaka County.
01:04:44That's Bensinger's home.
01:04:45Another bulletin, folks.
01:04:46Come on.
01:04:46Complete returns from Wapasaka show the entire county is climbed on the woolly bandwagon.
01:04:53Well?
01:04:54Are you convinced?
01:04:55It must be in another county.
01:04:56Hold everything.
01:04:57Here's the flash, folks.
01:04:58At 10.45 tonight, with only three precincts in the entire state yet to be heard from,
01:05:03election returns were as follows.
01:05:04Wallace Woolly, 2,684,922.
01:05:08L. Wood Bensinger, none.
01:05:12He didn't even vote for himself.
01:05:14Dudley, I've married a witch.
01:05:16What am I going to do?
01:05:17Let me look at you.
01:05:19Did you say she's 800,000 years old?
01:05:21No, no, no.
01:05:22That's her father.
01:05:23She's only 290.
01:05:25Oh, I see.
01:05:26But you'd never think it.
01:05:27Well, Mary's does a lot for people.
01:05:29Well, Wally, this clears everything up.
01:05:33All except one little point.
01:05:36How did she get out of the hospital that night?
01:05:39She used a broom.
01:05:41Oh, of course.
01:05:42I must be getting stupid.
01:05:44A child would know that.
01:05:47Dudley, what...
01:05:48What am I going to do?
01:05:50How many people have you told about this?
01:05:51No one but you.
01:05:52How can I tell anybody?
01:05:53Well, I see your point.
01:05:54People are so skeptical.
01:05:56It might be hard for them to grasp that the First Lady of the State is a witch.
01:05:59I don't care about them.
01:06:00What about me?
01:06:01Oh!
01:06:02Are you satisfied, darling?
01:06:04You're the new governor.
01:06:05What are you going to do now?
01:06:06Help you on with your slippers.
01:06:08No, not just yet.
01:06:09Oh, well, then I'll warm them by the fire.
01:06:13You know, I lighted it with a match, Wally.
01:06:16From now on, I'm going to be just a simple, helpful wife.
01:06:20Dudley, I can't take a helpful wife.
01:06:22What if she runs me for president?
01:06:23We want Wally!
01:06:25What's that?
01:06:26People gathering in the street, dear.
01:06:28They want you to make a speech.
01:06:29Real people?
01:06:30Naturally.
01:06:31They all voted for Wally.
01:06:32What am I going to say to them?
01:06:33Oh, I don't know.
01:06:34There are one or two things I wouldn't tell them, though.
01:06:36Well, good night, all men.
01:06:37Good night.
01:06:37Where are you going?
01:06:38Oh, it's late.
01:06:39I've got to be getting home.
01:06:40Into my straitjack.
01:06:41Would you like me to drive you?
01:06:43No, thanks.
01:06:44I'll call a broom.
01:06:45I mean a taxi.
01:06:50Wally, darling.
01:06:51Yes, dear.
01:06:54You don't mind my being a witch, do you?
01:06:56Well, you'll admit it's a little unusual.
01:06:59No one need ever know.
01:07:00We'll talk about that later, dear.
01:07:02It'll be our little secret.
01:07:04Our little secret?
01:07:06Now go out and make your speech to them, dear.
01:07:22Good evening, my dear.
01:07:25Three kids, my wife!
01:07:28Hooray!
01:07:32I must compliment you on the public confidence you have inspired for Master Willie.
01:07:37You're not going to hurt him again.
01:07:38I will attend to him later.
01:07:40I am concerned now with an erring daughter.
01:07:43I've done nothing except love him.
01:07:45You have informed him that you are a witch.
01:07:48Need I remind you of the punishment that I must perforce administer at midnight back to the tree.
01:07:54There to stay until the present race of men is extinguished.
01:08:00It's a rather light sentence, considering the offense.
01:08:03But if I don't want you to go?
01:08:05There is nothing you can do about it.
01:08:07I'm still a witch.
01:08:09No, my dear.
01:08:10Your heart is so full of human love that I can no longer trust you.
01:08:13Until you have resumed the more spirit-like existence, you shall be a mere mortal.
01:08:19I've remembered all the spells you've taught me.
01:08:25Outfire by Radamanthus!
01:08:29Out!
01:08:30You see, your power is dead. Mine remains.
01:08:36Outfire.
01:08:38Better get ready.
01:08:40Soonest done, soonest mended.
01:08:43And midnight approaches.
01:08:47May I say goodbye?
01:08:51Certainly, my dear.
01:08:56I'll be around.
01:09:00...to give this fair state an honest administration.
01:09:05As the former governor so aptly put it.
01:09:08Wally! Wally!
01:09:10And in conclusion, thank you very much.
01:09:15What is it?
01:09:16You must help me.
01:09:18You want me to help you?
01:09:19Come on, darling, hurry.
01:09:20No, no, no, no.
01:09:21Where?
01:09:22Anywhere out the back door.
01:09:24Hurry up, Joe.
01:09:30Any place, Joe.
01:09:32Just drive around.
01:09:34Hey!
01:09:37That's my cab!
01:09:40Jennifer, what is all this?
01:09:41I had to get you away.
01:09:42Wally, something might have happened to you.
01:09:44What?
01:09:45I don't know, but something awful.
01:09:46Can't you tell me about it now?
01:09:48Oh, Wally, I'm afraid.
01:09:50You are afraid.
01:09:51What kind of trouble can you be in that you can't get out of by witchcraft?
01:09:55I've lost my power.
01:09:56What?
01:09:57I'm not a witch any longer.
01:09:58I'm like any other girl.
01:10:00Oh, Wally, I wish we could go so fast that no power on earth could overtake us.
01:10:05Faster!
01:10:05Nothing's going to happen to you while I'm around.
01:10:12You are like any other girl, afraid of lightning.
01:10:16That isn't ordinary lightning.
01:10:18Can't it go any faster?
01:10:20Step on it, Joe.
01:10:21Faster.
01:10:36Nobody could possibly catch us.
01:10:38Joe's a wonderful driver.
01:10:39There's nothing he can't do with the car.
01:11:01They've certainly improved this road.
01:11:06Is it midnight yet?
01:11:09No.
01:11:10Five minutes to twelve.
01:11:20Don't look!
01:11:27Back to the tree!
01:11:44Don't worry about me, Master Woolley.
01:11:47I am accustomed to fire.
01:11:50Come, Jennifer.
01:11:51I have decided to return with thee to the tree.
01:11:55I am weary of mortals.
01:11:59There's no use fighting.
01:12:01It has to be like this.
01:12:02Jennifer, what are you saying?
01:12:04Go, Wally, please.
01:12:08Midnight.
01:12:09Goodbye, my darling.
01:12:11I want you to remember me as I was.
01:12:14Just an ordinary girl.
01:12:17He'll remember.
01:12:20That will be his torture.
01:12:24And I'll remember that I loved you.
01:12:27Through all eternity.
01:12:29I'll remember.
01:12:32Thou will remember nothing of this tender feeling.
01:12:36That will be the essence of thy punishment.
01:12:41I'll never forget.
01:12:43With all my strength, I'll fight.
01:12:46Love is stronger than witchcraft.
01:12:50I'll remember everything.
01:12:51The sound of your voice.
01:12:54Your worried looks.
01:12:56The warmth of your arms around me.
01:13:00The touch of your lips.
01:13:08Goodbye, Wally.
01:13:10Goodbye, my darling.
01:13:13I'll remember.
01:13:15I'll always remember.
01:13:18Always.
01:13:20Always.
01:13:34Look at him.
01:13:36Is it not good to see him suffer?
01:13:38Yes, Father.
01:13:40Is this not a perfect revenge on the Woolies?
01:13:43Yes, Father.
01:13:45Could we follow him?
01:13:47And why?
01:13:48To watch him suffer, of course.
01:13:50Well said, Jennifer.
01:13:52Thou art a witch again.
01:14:02She's dead, Master Wally.
01:14:04Like marriage is a mournful memory.
01:14:09Let's be gone, Jennifer.
01:14:11Let me tarry but a moment at this window.
01:14:14I wish to see it all.
01:14:16Thou art enjoying it, eh?
01:14:18Oh, yes. And thou?
01:14:20I cannot remember when I've had a better time.
01:14:25It's great in here.
01:14:31I'll call the doctor, Mr. Wally.
01:14:36Jennifer.
01:14:37Jennifer.
01:14:39The sound of his voice.
01:14:42It no longer thrills thee.
01:14:45No, Father.
01:14:46Good.
01:14:47And his worried looks.
01:14:50And the warmth of his arms around me.
01:14:55These are things that have no meaning for me now.
01:15:01And the touch of his lips.
01:15:20And the touch of his lips.
01:15:20Wally.
01:15:23Love is stronger than witchcraft.
01:15:28For tonight I'll marry, marry be.
01:15:30For tonight I'll marry, marry be.
01:15:32For tonight I'll marry, marry be.
01:15:35Tomorrow I'll be sober.
01:15:37Oh, no, you won't.
01:15:40Wally, darling.
01:15:41All our troubles are over.
01:15:44At least for the present.
01:15:59Mr. Wally.
01:16:00I've been with your family for 37 years, but this is the end.
01:16:04What is it, Margaret?
01:16:05I simply cannot handle your daughter.
01:16:11Jennifer.
01:16:12I told you never to play with that broom.
01:16:15Why?
01:16:16I'm afraid we're going to have trouble with her some day.
01:16:20Oh, that's impossible.
01:16:24I hope.
01:16:28Good night, ladies.
01:16:30Good night, ladies.
01:16:33Good night, ladies.
01:16:35We're going to leave you now.
01:16:41Good night.
01:16:42Good night, ladies.
01:16:44Good night.
01:16:46Good night.
