00:00:03The End
00:00:38The End
00:01:16This is Mrs. Holland. Let me speak to Mr. Holland, please.
00:01:20Hello, Zendell.
00:01:22Steve, I thought I asked you to renew the lease on our house.
00:01:25When are we going to find something more cheerful, not so grand?
00:01:28I'm perfectly happy with it.
00:01:30I'll discuss it with you tonight, then, dear.
00:01:31But this is our last renewal day. I've got to notify the agents.
00:01:35Can't we let them know tomorrow?
00:01:37I want to renew. I'll call them and tell them to bring the papers to your office.
00:01:42Yes, yes, I'm sure.
00:01:44By the way, I've asked Donna to come in and see me. I still don't know why she's leaving.
00:01:48I haven't the faintest idea. You'll be home early, won't you?
00:01:51Yes, of course. Goodbye.
00:01:52Goodbye.
00:01:54Glad to see you, Dora. How are you?
00:01:56Pretty good, thanks.
00:01:57Mr. Holland's ready for you now.
00:01:59Mr. Holland?
00:02:01Dora!
00:02:04Thank you for coming. Please sit down.
00:02:08Now, I want an explanation.
00:02:11There's nothing much to explain.
00:02:13I guess I'm getting a little old and set in my ways,
00:02:16and Mrs. Holland thought a younger nurse would be better for the child.
00:02:20But Mrs. Holland was knocked out when you said you were going.
00:02:22She couldn't understand it.
00:02:23No, I guess not.
00:02:24Well, my very first thought when the baby came was,
00:02:27thank heaven we have Dora to bring her up.
00:02:29And now you're deserting us.
00:02:30Why, Dora?
00:02:31I have a sister in California.
00:02:34I think I'll stay with her.
00:02:35I've known you all my life and never heard you mention a sister in California.
00:02:39Well, I have.
00:02:40Tell me what's wrong.
00:02:41There's nothing wrong.
00:02:42That's not true.
00:02:43I should have gone long ago, but I love the little girl.
00:02:46And you're going straight back home now,
00:02:48have a talk with Mrs. Holland, and forget all this nonsense.
00:02:51Did you ever know me to lie to you?
00:02:54No, Dora.
00:02:55Never.
00:02:56Not when you was a little boy.
00:02:58And asked me questions from morning till night.
00:03:00I never lied to you then, and I won't now, sir.
00:03:04I couldn't work for Mrs. Holland again.
00:03:06Not for anything.
00:03:08Why?
00:03:10Is it because you think she doesn't like you?
00:03:12No.
00:03:13I don't like her.
00:03:15What do you mean?
00:03:17Oh, Stevie.
00:03:18Not once, but five times.
00:03:21I've nursed you back from the shadow of death to life.
00:03:24And this is something I can't tell you.
00:03:27I'll say goodbye now,
00:03:28and tell you that I'll pray for Ellen to grow up to the beautiful young lady she'll be.
00:03:33I'm not going to let you go, Dora,
00:03:34until you tell me what your complaint is.
00:03:37I've no complaint.
00:03:39I'm thinking of you.
00:03:42Why?
00:03:43Tell me.
00:03:45There is no love in your home.
00:03:48Mrs. Holland is selfish and hard.
00:03:50And you and the little girl will dance to her tune.
00:03:53And she'll put you out of her life in the end,
00:03:55after you've served her purpose.
00:03:58Why, you're mad.
00:03:59Am I, Stevie?
00:04:01Look in your heart now and tell me if you haven't felt the truth this long time.
00:04:05This long, long time.
00:04:08Do you think you could hide it from me that knows you so well?
00:04:11I've seen the questions on your face the past five years.
00:04:14A hundred times.
00:04:15After the quarreling and arguing day after day.
00:04:19Only you don't argue anymore.
00:04:22You do as she likes.
00:04:23She's even got your own mother believing now that you're a bit of a fool.
00:04:27And you must be told where to go and who to see and how to live.
00:04:34I'm sorry, Dora.
00:04:37Goodbye.
00:04:40Oh, wait.
00:04:46Please don't, sir.
00:04:48I've been paid my wages.
00:04:51I'll pray with all my heart that I'm wrong.
00:05:01Mr. Holland, if you were to meet Mr. Jameson at his office, sir.
00:05:06Here we are, a quarter, twenty-five cents apiece.
00:05:11Here we are.
00:05:15Seven, please.
00:05:19Nine.
00:05:22Nine.
00:05:22Nine.
00:05:23Nine.
00:05:25Seven.
00:05:26Nine.
00:05:32Seven.
00:05:35Nine.
00:05:38I'm sorry.
00:05:39I'm Mr. Holland.
00:05:40Yes, I'm Mr. Van Horn.
00:05:42How of you doing?
00:05:42Sorry I frightened you.
00:05:43You didn't frighten me, Mr. Holland?
00:05:45Not at all?
00:05:46Good evening, dearest.
00:05:47Good evening, Daddy.
00:05:50This is for me, isn't it?
00:05:52Yes
00:05:52Is that my birthday?
00:05:54No, it isn't Christmas either
00:05:55Then why are you giving it to me, Daddy?
00:05:57Because I love you
00:05:58I think that's a pretty good reason
00:06:00He looks just like the little tin soldier in the book
00:06:03I'll show you, Dad
00:06:06I think Ellen had better finish her supper
00:06:08I think I'd rather talk to my father
00:06:10But your father has to get ready for dinner
00:06:11He doesn't have to do anything
00:06:13He's a lawyer
00:06:14He tells other people what to do
00:06:16Um, I think you'd better finish up, darling
00:06:20Then you can come in and we'll read a story
00:06:23Daddy
00:06:25Where's Dora?
00:06:26I want Dora
00:06:28I'll tell you all about that when you come in, sweetheart
00:06:31Now don't forget to give the little tin soldier some supper
00:06:34He's hungry
00:06:38Steve?
00:06:40Hello, Cynthia
00:06:42Hello, darling
00:06:44Did you see Ellen?
00:06:45Yes
00:06:47That's a pretty stony bundle, that new nurse
00:06:50We were very lucky to get her
00:06:51She has marvellous references from some people in New York
00:06:54She ought to do Ellen a world of good
00:06:58It's a rather drastic change after Dora
00:07:01Did you see Dora?
00:07:03Yes
00:07:04Yes, we had quite a talk
00:07:05Poor old thing
00:07:07What did she say?
00:07:08Nothing
00:07:09She wants to live with her sister in California
00:07:11I imagine she's saved a lot of money all these years
00:07:14It's quarter to seven and you have to bathe and shave
00:07:16You'd better hurry, dear
00:07:17Why?
00:07:18We're not dining out, are we?
00:07:20Don't you remember?
00:07:21The Mortons
00:07:21I thought that was off
00:07:22Why, no, dear
00:07:24I told you
00:07:24And I told you I'd rather not
00:07:26I'm sure I did
00:07:28And you finally decided we'd go
00:07:30We finally decided we wouldn't
00:07:31I told you I don't like Morton or his wife
00:07:33The less I see of them, the better
00:07:35But it's only for dinner, darling
00:07:37Once in a blue moon
00:07:38But I don't like dining at the house of a man I detest
00:07:40You wouldn't hate Morton quite so much
00:07:42If he threw the Thompson bankruptcy into your lap, now would you?
00:07:44What do you know about the Thompson bankruptcy?
00:07:46Why, it's practically arranged for you to handle it
00:07:48I spoke to Adelaide Morton about it weeks ago
00:07:50What do you mean you spoke to her?
00:07:52Someone's going to make money out of it
00:07:54I didn't see any reason why you shouldn't
00:07:55You want the case, don't you?
00:07:57I wouldn't touch it or anything else that Morton engineered
00:07:59He's a crook, an important crook with a crook
00:08:01And soon or later they'll catch up with him
00:08:03You don't have to sleep with him, darling
00:08:05No, nor eat with him
00:08:06Nor listen to his stories
00:08:09All right
00:08:09I promise we won't go again
00:08:11But we've simply got to go this once, Steve
00:08:14Be a good boy and hurry up
00:08:16You've no right to make that date, Cynthia
00:08:18And I ought to make you call and break it
00:08:20You can do that if you really want to be mean
00:08:26But she can be very useful to me
00:08:27Even if you don't care about him
00:08:29So please, dear, just this once
00:08:31All ready, Daddy?
00:08:39Dear Est, I'm awfully sorry
00:08:40I won't be able to tonight
00:08:42Oh, don't you feel well, Daddy?
00:08:44Yes, but I have to bathe and get dressed
00:08:45Mommy and I are dining out
00:08:47Maybe we'll hurry tomorrow
00:08:49You bet your life we will
00:08:50It's a lead pipe cinch, sweetheart
00:08:52I wonder what that means, lead pipe cinch
00:08:55There's no need for you to know, darling
00:08:56It's bad English
00:08:57Daddy, I think I'm getting big enough to use bad English, too
00:09:00I'll tell you all about that tomorrow
00:09:02I'll come home early
00:09:03And we'll have a long, long session
00:09:05I wonder what that means, session
00:09:07It means I love you, baby
00:09:12I'm telling you, biggest laugh of my life
00:09:14I was just telling Steve about that native we hooked down at Bimini
00:09:17Thought it was a sailfish
00:09:19Yes, everyone laughed like mad, except the native, of course
00:09:22Had to get him into the boat with a hook before the sharks finished it
00:09:24Why don't you and Steve come up to the lake for the weekend with us, Cynthia?
00:09:27Well
00:09:28We'd love to
00:09:29I think it's an awfully good idea
00:09:30Don't you, Steve?
00:09:31You've been working terribly hard
00:09:32Great, just the four of us
00:09:33Good chance to talk about something I got in mind anyway
00:09:36I'm afraid it's impossible
00:09:36We love it
00:09:37I can't imagine anything nicer
00:09:39Just soaking in the sun and I have a ducky new bathing suit
00:09:41I've been dying to try
00:09:42Say, that makes it unanimous
00:09:43I'm afraid not
00:09:44You know you can, darling, if you want to
00:09:46It'd be so good for you
00:09:48I'm sure it would, but
00:09:49You let me persuade Steve
00:09:51I can usually bring him around
00:09:52I'll call you in the morning
00:09:52That won't be necessary
00:09:54I'm sorry, I can't go
00:09:56Well, maybe you wouldn't mind if Cynthia came alone
00:09:59Well, you just leave Steve to me and you can count on us both
00:10:02Oh, that's fine
00:10:04We'll have loads of fun
00:10:30Aren't you coming to bed, Steve?
00:10:32No
00:10:35If you're going to sulk like a child
00:10:37I may as well treat you like one
00:10:38And let you unburden yourself
00:10:42How dare you
00:10:43How dare you talk to me as though I was some half-wit
00:10:47I'm simply trying to find out what ails you
00:10:49You do, Cynthia
00:10:51Well, that's pretty
00:10:53I don't even know who you are anymore
00:10:56You've been dropping the mask little by little
00:11:02I think I see you now
00:11:04Hard and selfish
00:11:06Determined to do as you wish in every way
00:11:08Without the slightest interest in anything I think or want
00:11:11If you're referring to the Mortons
00:11:13It isn't the Mortons, Cynthia
00:11:15They were only the last little straw
00:11:16Just because I made a pleasant date for us
00:11:19You showed your contempt for me tonight
00:11:20After I told you flatly, definitely
00:11:22You can change your mind, can't you?
00:11:24Not anymore
00:11:25You've changed my mind for me so often
00:11:27It's a miracle I've got one left
00:11:28Isn't it a little petty of you, Steve
00:11:30To carry on like this
00:11:31Just because I said we'd go
00:11:32Oh, forget what happened tonight
00:11:34You've done the same thing so many times
00:11:38Even with things that affected our very lives
00:11:40How could I have been so blind, Cynthia
00:11:42For so long?
00:11:43What have you had, Steve?
00:11:44A vision?
00:11:45Yes
00:11:46A vision of my future
00:11:48A complacent jackass twirling his thumbs
00:11:50While his wife arranges his life for him
00:11:52His thoughts, his pleasures
00:11:53Really?
00:11:54I can't see myself in that comic strip role
00:11:57You're becoming absurd, Steve
00:11:59That's what I say
00:12:02Well, I'm going to bed
00:12:03If you want to grouse around here all night
00:12:05Wait a minute
00:12:09I think you should know
00:12:10I spent my last night in this house
00:12:11Now, Steve
00:12:12You've become something strange and miserable to me
00:12:14I can't live with you
00:12:16It's a realization I've been fighting for the last two years
00:12:18Do you realize there's a child of yours upstairs?
00:12:20Erin's arrival was a signal for you to kick me out of your personal setup
00:12:23To force me into an imitation of a little mechanical man
00:12:26The kind you wind up
00:12:27I don't know what you're talking about
00:12:29We'll settle the question of Erin later
00:12:30Right now, I want to get out of here
00:12:32Before I break down at my own audacity and apologize
00:12:35I've done that so many times, it's become a habit
00:12:38I'll send for my clothes in the morning
00:12:42Steve Holland
00:12:44If you leave this house
00:12:45Watch me
00:13:03Cynthia
00:13:03I needn't tell you how terrible this is
00:13:06I know
00:13:07I'm completely bewildered myself
00:13:09You know, just now when the judge said
00:13:12Divorce granted
00:13:13I kept asking myself over and over again, childishly
00:13:16Is this happening to me?
00:13:19Oh, my dear
00:13:20Steve is your son
00:13:21I know it's hard for a mother to understand
00:13:24I've questioned Steve again and again
00:13:27Of course, it's difficult to talk to him about it
00:13:29If I only knew what the real trouble was between you
00:13:33Incompatibility
00:13:34How curious that sounds
00:13:37I stood in church with Steve
00:13:39We made our vows
00:13:41I never had any thought
00:13:43Any dream beyond him
00:13:45And our baby and our happiness together
00:13:47Time is a wonderful thing, my dear
00:13:49I keep thinking that
00:13:50Because I must believe
00:13:52I must
00:13:54Someday I'll answer the door
00:13:55And he'll be
00:14:00Cynthia
00:14:01I want you to count on me
00:14:03To try and make Steve realise how you feel
00:14:05I'll come to you this evening
00:14:06Goodbye
00:14:16Stephen
00:14:17I wouldn't insist on your privilege
00:14:18Of seeing Ellen weekends
00:14:19Not for some time, anyway
00:14:21Why not, Mother?
00:14:23It'll only upset her unnecessarily
00:14:25Well, you mean it won't upset her
00:14:26To have me drop out of her life all at once
00:14:28Cynthia's explained it to her very well
00:14:30She'll be alright
00:14:31It isn't alright with me
00:14:32Not seeing my child
00:14:34You should have thought of that, Stephen
00:14:36One consolation
00:14:37I should be far too busy to think
00:14:38During the next few months
00:14:40I'm arguing with a case
00:14:41Before the appellate court in Washington
00:14:42When, Stephen?
00:14:43In April
00:14:45You must promise me one thing
00:14:47If you ever find yourself
00:14:49Sorry
00:14:49Oh, don't say it, Donnie
00:14:51It's over
00:14:52I hope with all my heart
00:14:53She'll be happy
00:14:54The day is with the remude
00:15:13And they are o'er
00:15:16T'was a year ago
00:15:18Last April
00:15:19That he rode into our camp
00:15:22Just a little Texas spray
00:15:24And all unload
00:15:26It was late in the evening
00:15:30When he rode up to our herd
00:15:33On a little Texas
00:15:35Pony
00:15:35He was gone
00:15:37With his broken shoes
00:15:40And overalls
00:15:41A tougher looking kid
00:15:43No one ever in his life
00:15:47Hostess or no hostess
00:15:48I want to talk to you while I can
00:15:49Glad to see you, Aunt Ellen
00:15:50Never mind that Aunt Emmy, sir
00:15:52If I were really an aunt of yours
00:15:53I'd spank you for not coming to see me sooner
00:15:55How are you, Stephen?
00:15:57How's your mother?
00:15:57She's fine, thanks
00:15:58Good
00:15:59What's the stuff about the appellate court?
00:16:01Oh, it'll only bore you
00:16:02But I promise you some excitement
00:16:02If you come
00:16:03I certainly will
00:16:04What are you up to?
00:16:05There's only one way to win this case
00:16:07If they go for it, we're all right
00:16:08If they don't
00:16:09I'll not only be tossed out
00:16:10But disbarred
00:16:11Emmy
00:16:12Can't you stop that?
00:16:13He's one of your constituents
00:16:14And here's another
00:16:16Steve, my boy
00:16:17She's one of the kings there
00:16:17How are you, sir?
00:16:18Getting by, my boy
00:16:19Getting by
00:16:19You're right back
00:16:20Aunt Emmy, tell me
00:16:22Who's that girl
00:16:22Sitting next to the old lady with the cane?
00:16:25Oh, that's Maris Kent
00:16:26With her grandmother
00:16:27She's lovely
00:16:28Oh, she's a darling
00:16:29But be careful of the old lady
00:16:31She's a dragon
00:16:32Steve, you'll come and have dinner with me
00:16:33Before you leave
00:16:34I want to hear all the dirt from home
00:16:36Mm-hmm
00:16:39I've heard enough bellyaching
00:16:40We are going home
00:16:44All right, darling
00:16:44You go say goodbye to Mrs. Kingsley
00:16:46I've got to see a man
00:16:51Well, Maris, my dear
00:16:52I want to present a special young friend of mine
00:16:55From office Tandusky
00:16:56Mr. Romer, Miss Kent
00:16:57How do you do?
00:16:58Well, where have you been all this time?
00:17:01Mr. Romer's running for Congress
00:17:02Well, don't let me stop him
00:17:04Excuse me
00:17:05No, Joseph
00:17:06That's what I've said all along
00:17:07Ever since I've been in the same
00:17:09Let's get out of here
00:17:10Before he sounds off again
00:17:12Well, I just wanted to ask
00:17:13Senator King
00:17:13Never mind about that
00:17:15There he goes
00:17:17What with all these cowboy singers
00:17:19And cowboy bands on the radio
00:17:21I often wonder
00:17:22Who's left to watch the cows?
00:17:25Who's that you were flirting with?
00:17:27I never flirt, darling
00:17:29I go right up and knock them down
00:17:31Tough life
00:17:31You girls talk tough
00:17:33But I notice you keep preening and coquetting all the same
00:17:37Preening and coquetting
00:17:38What wonderful words
00:17:39You were flirting and you know it
00:17:41You bet I was
00:17:43Oh, look, I lost my bracelet
00:17:45Oh
00:17:47I'm sure now I didn't have it on
00:17:48When I got in the car
00:17:49I lost to the reception, that's what
00:17:51Uh, turn around, Joe
00:17:52No, please, just stop here, Joe
00:17:54I know you want to get home to a hot bath, Grandma
00:17:58I'll take a cab
00:17:59Ought to be ashamed of yourself
00:18:01Chasing after a man
00:18:03Well, go on, Joe
00:18:08Oh, Mrs. Kingsley, I've done such a stupid thing
00:18:10I've lost my cigarette case
00:18:11Oh, I'm sorry, dear
00:18:12What does it look like?
00:18:13Oh, it's just one of those enamel things, you know
00:18:15But I've had it for years
00:18:17Well, you can kiss it goodbye in this company
00:18:19However, we'll take a look
00:18:20Oh, please don't give it another thought
00:18:23Yes
00:18:25I think I know just where to look for it
00:18:28Steve?
00:18:29Mr. Holland, Miss Kent
00:18:30How do you do?
00:18:31I'm delighted
00:18:32You know, Steve
00:18:33A word in your little pink ear, Senator
00:18:36I thought you left Miss Kent
00:18:37I didn't like that
00:18:38Oh, you're teasing me, sir
00:18:39On my honour, madam
00:18:40The name, by the way, is Steve
00:18:42Maris
00:18:42I know
00:18:43It's a beautiful becoming name
00:18:44Thank you
00:18:45I got it out of a girl's book
00:18:46No
00:18:46I was born Jenny
00:18:47Why, that's much better
00:18:48Jenny it is
00:18:49Well, if I'd wanted people to call me Jenny
00:18:50I wouldn't have bothered changing it
00:18:52Oh, I see what you mean
00:18:54Have you known Mrs. Kingsley a long time?
00:18:56I used to be the senator's office boy
00:18:58What are you doing here?
00:18:59The appellate court tomorrow
00:19:01Oh, isn't that curious?
00:19:02I was going to that court tomorrow
00:19:05Well, it'll be nice seeing a friendly face
00:19:06Can I get you something to drink?
00:19:08Tea, ice cream
00:19:08I have to go in a minute
00:19:10Oh, Grandma
00:19:11Why, you know everything
00:19:13Just leaving myself
00:19:14Can I give you a lift?
00:19:15That's what I came back for
00:19:16Had a delightful time, Aunt Emma
00:19:17Oh, I'm sure you did
00:19:19Will I see you tomorrow?
00:19:20I'll be there for the opening
00:19:21Oh, you wouldn't care to go
00:19:22Would you, Alice?
00:19:23Oh, I'd love to
00:19:23I've never been
00:19:24Then I'll pick you up
00:19:25Oh, thanks
00:19:25You're an angel
00:19:26And I'll bring along the cigarette case
00:19:27If we find it
00:19:28Cigarette case?
00:19:29But I imagine we won't
00:19:31Oh
00:19:33Our contention is
00:19:34That the question of patent infringement
00:19:36Involved herein
00:19:37Affects the basic patent law
00:19:38Concerning such devices
00:19:41We shall start
00:19:43By handing out several exhibits
00:19:44The first
00:19:44A box of perfect hosiery
00:19:46Containing no flaw of any kind
00:19:49Hosiery?
00:19:49I think I know what he meant yesterday
00:19:51The second
00:19:52A box of hosiery
00:19:53Each containing a flaw
00:19:55Or a run
00:19:56As a woman would say
00:19:57Steady, boys
00:19:58You've seen them before
00:19:59And now with the court's permission
00:20:02I should like to introduce
00:20:03Miss Betsy Lee
00:20:04A demonstrator in our employ
00:20:05This is highly irregular, sir
00:20:08Yes, Your Honor
00:20:09But we feel that a physical demonstration
00:20:10Of the devices in question
00:20:12Would be helpful
00:20:14Proceed
00:20:15Will you kind of sit here, Miss Lee
00:20:17So that the court may observe you?
00:20:19Isn't she stunning?
00:20:20This, if it please the court
00:20:21Is a magnetized needle
00:20:23The court will notice
00:20:23That Miss Lee is wearing a stocking
00:20:25Containing a run or flaw
00:20:26Similar to those in Exhibit 2
00:20:29Miss Lee will proceed
00:20:30To mend one of these runs
00:20:31Using our magnetized needle
00:20:32The court inspects the evidence
00:20:34Following which
00:20:35She will mend an identical run
00:20:37Using the needle
00:20:38Manufactured by the defendant
00:20:39Who claims that its needle
00:20:40Must be used with the holder
00:20:41We contend that the holder
00:20:43Is unnecessary
00:20:43That the needle
00:20:44Is the essential item
00:20:45And there is an unquestionable
00:20:46Copy and infringement
00:20:47Stay on the bench, boys
00:20:52Well, however
00:20:52What do you think?
00:20:53You'll win
00:20:54If they don't jail you
00:20:55For contempt
00:20:55Ma'am, is that Miss Lee
00:20:56Mrs Kingsley, Miss Kent?
00:20:57How do you do?
00:20:58Honest, Mr Holland
00:20:59I was shaking like a leaf
00:21:00You did yourself proud
00:21:01So you probably saved
00:21:02The International Knit Company
00:21:03From unravelling
00:21:04Thank you, Mr Holland
00:21:05Goodbye
00:21:07Steve, what are your plans
00:21:08With this afternoon?
00:21:09Haven't any nothing at all
00:21:10Well, suppose you let Mara
00:21:11Show you the hot spots
00:21:11He's dug soup for the monuments
00:21:13That'd be marvellous
00:21:14Would you, Miss Kent?
00:21:15Oh, pleasure
00:21:15Well, never mind the pleasure
00:21:16Stick to the mausoleums
00:21:17Forgive me, children
00:21:18I have a date
00:21:19To snub an ambassador's wife
00:21:20Wouldn't miss it
00:21:21You're all right, Aunt Emma
00:21:24She is all right, isn't she?
00:21:25I suppose so
00:21:25I've never been so charmingly
00:21:27Dumped in all my life
00:21:28Me too
00:21:28I'm very happy about it
00:21:29I thought you were
00:21:30Simply wonderful
00:21:31And that Miss Lee
00:21:32I'll bet she's the prettiest thing
00:21:33In these parts
00:21:34Tricked her up myself
00:21:35Oh, I could tell
00:21:35Thank you
00:21:37Do you really want to slide
00:21:38Around the things?
00:21:39No
00:21:39What else have you got?
00:21:40Well, the cherry blossoms
00:21:42Are out
00:21:42They're nice
00:21:43As nice as they say?
00:21:44I don't know
00:21:44I've never seen them
00:21:46Why not, Jenny?
00:21:47I've been waiting
00:21:49Until I really wanted to
00:21:56Cochran, Holland, and Fisher
00:21:58Oh, yes, Mr. Holland
00:22:02Mr. Cochran
00:22:02Mr. Holland
00:22:03Calling from Washington
00:22:04Steve, what's up?
00:22:06We expected you back a week ago
00:22:08No, no, Rush
00:22:09Things are pretty quiet
00:22:11Oh, say, listen
00:22:16That's on fine
00:22:20Good
00:22:21Oh, I think we're getting away with it
00:22:23I really do
00:22:25Oh, I shall
00:22:26I shall probably hang around here
00:22:27Another week or so
00:22:28Really, Steve?
00:22:29I think so
00:22:30What's that stuff?
00:22:32Dubonet
00:22:32Take it out
00:22:33Huh?
00:22:34I will not take it out
00:22:35Everybody drinks sherry with Dubonet
00:22:38Oh, I know all about the case
00:22:39I nearly had it once
00:22:39Who's everybody?
00:22:41Grandma
00:22:41Have you gone ahead with Jameson?
00:22:44I'd like to point out the cruel truth
00:22:46That Grandma isn't everybody
00:22:47She is to me
00:22:48What was the adjudication?
00:22:50Adjudication, my eye
00:22:51You'll drink it this way
00:22:53Why, that's fine, Arthur
00:22:55I'd better stay away
00:22:56If you're going to do as well
00:22:56Is there?
00:22:57Oh, well, ma'am
00:22:58Yes, I'll let you know
00:22:59Goodbye
00:23:00Let's see this foul concoction
00:23:01Any child knows that sherry's better this way
00:23:04To your eyes, Jenny
00:23:08That's pretty good
00:23:09You see how narrow and bigoted you are, Steve
00:23:11Ever tried it with a slug of gin
00:23:12A couple of eggs
00:23:13And a horseshoe nail
00:23:13Oh, it sounds delicious
00:23:16I want to pay for that call, please
00:23:18Oh, put it right here
00:23:19This is my secret orgy fund
00:23:21Your what?
00:23:22Grandma, you know
00:23:22She won't allow anything stronger than sherry in the house
00:23:24When she checks the bills
00:23:25So I have the sponge, you see
00:23:27She's a pretty violent character, Grandma
00:23:29You'll find out
00:23:32How long's it been?
00:23:34Eight days
00:23:34I know because I've been counting them out
00:23:36Slowly, grudgingly
00:23:38Feeling that I'm losing a little part of me every day
00:23:41Malice
00:23:43Who are you, mister?
00:23:44Why did you have to blow around
00:23:45Give me headaches and heartburn?
00:23:47My darling Jenny
00:23:48Will you put on your cap and mittens
00:23:49And come along with me?
00:23:50Anywhere
00:23:51Anywhere
00:23:51I have serious talk for you
00:23:53And I'd rather tell you somewhere else
00:23:55Than in the sort of atmosphere of a barroom
00:23:57Anywhere
00:23:58What about those cherry blossoms
00:24:00We never did get to see
00:24:01Or is it a dream?
00:24:03No
00:24:08Do you know that's the first time you've kissed me?
00:24:10Yes
00:24:11There's a reason for that
00:24:12Do you know that I've been dying for you two all week?
00:24:15Yes
00:24:15Do you know?
00:24:16Yes
00:24:16I've suspected that you're a strong manly character
00:24:19Full of integrity
00:24:20But you really aren't, are you?
00:24:21No
00:24:22Just in this case
00:24:23Why?
00:24:25I shouldn't have waited this long to tell you
00:24:27Something that is very important, Maris
00:24:29How important
00:24:32It isn't that you're married
00:24:33That isn't so, is it Steve?
00:24:35Not anymore
00:24:36Oh
00:24:38Divorced?
00:24:39Yes
00:24:40I have a daughter five years old
00:24:43Oh
00:24:48How long have you been divorced, Steve?
00:24:51Less than a year
00:24:52I've asked myself a hundred times during the last week
00:24:55Is this the rebound?
00:24:57But I knew it wasn't
00:24:58I don't have felt so free and happy
00:24:59You're not free, Steve
00:25:01You're mine
00:25:02I love you so awfully
00:25:04I can't even measure how much
00:25:05What's this?
00:25:07Oh
00:25:07Good morning, Mrs. Kent
00:25:09It happens to be five o'clock in the evening, young man
00:25:13Grandma, I have so much to tell you
00:25:14I can't even talk straight at the moment
00:25:16We have a date anyway
00:25:17With a river and a couple of trees
00:25:19But why?
00:25:19You were doing all right in here
00:25:24Well, what was their trouble?
00:25:26I don't know exactly
00:25:27We never really discussed it
00:25:29But she must have been a devil
00:25:30You know, one of those women who wants to own a man
00:25:32Run him completely
00:25:33Well, he picked her out
00:25:34Then she must have fooled him
00:25:35Well, maybe he hasn't got good sense
00:25:37He's the cleverest man I've ever known
00:25:39And the finest, too
00:25:40Don't you like him?
00:25:41Yes, I like him
00:25:43But why don't you marry one of those noisy boys
00:25:45That's always around the house
00:25:47And let her have him
00:25:48Who have him?
00:25:49His wife
00:25:50This man Holland's wife
00:25:51She's not his wife now
00:25:53They're divorced
00:25:53Well, I hope so
00:25:54I hope so for your sake
00:25:56But it's much harder than most people believe
00:25:59To divorce your wife
00:26:00You just don't seem to understand Steve
00:26:02Well, how about his child?
00:26:04Oh, well, he's crazy about Ellen, of course
00:26:06And I know he sees her
00:26:07I think they have some sort of arrangement
00:26:10Arrangement
00:26:10These people who think they can arrange natural feelings
00:26:14Grandma, dear
00:26:16I love Steve
00:26:17Something melted my bones
00:26:19The first time I looked at him
00:26:20You saw it yourself
00:26:22You're diving head on, baby
00:26:24Head on
00:26:25Oh, grandmother
00:26:26I've told you
00:26:28Now, don't cry
00:26:29Or I won't show you the wedding present I bought for you
00:26:38Marriage is no good
00:26:39Unless a girl gets a better man than she deserves
00:26:41And vice versa
00:26:43Why, grandma
00:26:44It's really marriage
00:26:45It makes the world go round
00:26:47Well, it certainly goes round
00:26:49With a worried expression
00:26:55I made you so late, darling
00:26:57I've been worried
00:26:58I had a wire for mother
00:26:59I telephoned her
00:27:00Something wrong?
00:27:01She, um, can't come to the wedding
00:27:03She isn't ill
00:27:04No
00:27:06I want to hear, Steve
00:27:09Tell me, darling
00:27:11Well, it's just that
00:27:13She can't come east
00:27:14Oh
00:27:15She wants us to live with her
00:27:16Till we find a place of our own
00:27:19Do you think she'll like me, Steve?
00:27:20Oh, adore you
00:27:22I want her to
00:27:23But if she doesn't
00:27:24If no one does
00:27:25Just so you like me
00:27:26And want me around
00:27:27That's all I give a hang about
00:27:31Whoops
00:27:31Oh, I'm sorry
00:27:32Wait a moment, Aunt Emma
00:27:34Don't forget
00:27:35You promised me the first Roomba
00:27:36I promise everybody the first Roomba
00:27:38So pay no attention to it
00:27:39Oh, I see, dear Grandma
00:27:41She looks awful mad
00:27:42You'd better make your apology
00:27:43Watch out for the cane
00:27:46Marist dear
00:27:47You haven't told me
00:27:47When you're going to be married
00:27:48Next week
00:27:49We don't want a big wedding
00:27:50Steve's been through that once
00:27:51Yes, I know
00:27:53I was there
00:27:54Oh
00:27:55His wife was a beauty
00:27:56I remember wondering then
00:27:57How it would turn out
00:27:58Why?
00:27:59Oh, it doesn't matter
00:28:00What does is
00:28:01That you'll have to live in the same town
00:28:03That both she and Steve were born in
00:28:04His practice is there
00:28:05And he couldn't very well get out
00:28:06Without a terrible sacrifice
00:28:08Why should we want to?
00:28:09You won't
00:28:10But these small, cozy towns
00:28:13They take divorces awfully hard sometimes
00:28:15It won't make any difference
00:28:16That you'll want to be friendly
00:28:17Or even humble
00:28:17You'll be on the spot, my dear Maris
00:28:19It's enemy territory
00:28:21But why?
00:28:22Why would anyone resent
00:28:24Steve and me getting married?
00:28:25I don't know
00:28:27Anyway
00:28:28You take this from the old gal
00:28:30Hang on
00:28:36Well, you look very happy for a fiancée
00:28:39Grandma, I wish people would stop warning me
00:28:41I feel as though I were going to the chopping block
00:28:43Not the older
00:28:44Baby
00:28:45There isn't a bride in the world
00:28:47That doesn't wonder which it's going to be
00:28:53Steve getting married
00:28:56It's so
00:28:57I thought you should know, my dear
00:29:00Why not?
00:29:00He's free
00:29:02To a girl I know nothing about
00:29:06She's a fine person if Steve loves her
00:29:08He couldn't choose anyone else
00:29:10I hope so
00:29:10It is a great shock to me, Cynthia
00:29:13As I know it must be to you
00:29:14Yes, Mother
00:29:16I've really lost Steve now
00:29:18It isn't easy to realize that
00:29:20Oh, my dear
00:29:21No, no
00:29:21You mustn't ever let me feel sorry for myself
00:29:24I don't really
00:29:26Because deep in my heart
00:29:27I know there's a bond between us
00:29:28That no one can ever destroy
00:29:30My Ellen
00:29:32Steve's baby and mine
00:29:35If I have nothing else, Mother, I have that
00:29:38I'll always have that
00:29:39Cynthia
00:29:40I don't want you to shut yourself away from us
00:29:43Oh, no
00:29:43Steve is looking to you to make things easy and happy for his wife
00:29:46Whoever she is
00:29:47You must be loyal to her
00:29:48But I have a duty to Ellen, too
00:29:50And I won't see you or Ellen
00:29:52Neglected or ignored
00:29:53You may be sure of that, Cynthia
00:29:58Maris Kent
00:30:01I shall be so anxious to meet her
00:30:19Here we are, Mother
00:30:20Steve
00:30:22And this is
00:30:26I'm so glad to meet you, my dear
00:30:28I've been looking forward to meeting you, Mrs. Holland
00:30:30I want you to enjoy your stay here
00:30:32Thank you
00:30:32I suppose you'll want a change
00:30:35I hope you'll find your room comfortable
00:30:40Cynthia's been wonderful about this
00:30:42It doesn't affect her at all
00:30:43How can you say that?
00:30:45If you'd heard how beautifully she explained to Ellen about your marriage
00:30:47You'd have been deeply touched
00:30:49Have you spoken to Ellen yet, Steve?
00:30:51No, no, dear
00:30:51No, I thought Mother could have her over here so you could meet her
00:30:54I'm so anxious, too
00:30:55She sounds like an angel
00:30:57That's a charming dress, Maris
00:30:58Thank you
00:30:59I'm glad you like it
00:30:59It's the nicest I have
00:31:02I did want to make the best possible impression, Mrs. Holland
00:31:04I want very much to have you like me
00:31:07Why, of course I like you, my dear
00:31:09What a thing to say
00:31:11You're Stephen's wife
00:31:12But I want you to like me in spite of my being Steve's wife
00:31:16I know our marriage must have been a bit of a shock to you
00:31:18But I think I'm really a nice girl
00:31:20And I do love Steve
00:31:22I don't question that, my dear
00:31:25Stephen, why don't you show Maris the garden
00:31:27While I dress for dinner?
00:31:31Jenny, you're the most honest, you're the sweetest
00:31:34I'll keep hacking away at her, darling, till she falls for me
00:31:36She'll be mad about you, how could she help it?
00:31:38I hope so
00:31:39But I do want her own home as soon as possible
00:31:41So do I
00:31:43You take the car tomorrow and start looking
00:31:46Place of our own to live in
00:31:52I suppose this is awfully in the streets to say to an agent
00:31:55But it's so charming and the perfect house for us
00:31:57I know my husband will want us to have it
00:31:59I hope so, Mrs. Holland
00:32:03Steve, dear, I hate to prop in on you like this
00:32:06I've been sitting here wishing I could do just this
00:32:09But I've seen the most divine place, really, Steve
00:32:12Oh, I'm raving
00:32:13Come here
00:32:14In the first place, it's much less than we said we'd pay for it
00:32:16Good
00:32:17It's got everything
00:32:18The most glorious kitchen, a fireplace in the bedroom
00:32:20And the nicest yard you've ever seen
00:32:22Oh, you took it, didn't you?
00:32:23No, I wanted you to see it first, darling
00:32:24Where is it?
00:32:2519 Cameron Drive
00:32:27What's the matter?
00:32:29Oh, that's too bad
00:32:31Do you know it?
00:32:32I know the neighborhood
00:32:33Cynthia's folks live at number 15
00:32:35That's two houses away
00:32:37Does it really make so much difference, Steve?
00:32:39Well, there's no use in going against the axe like that
00:32:42Oh, I didn't know there was an axe
00:32:44Oh, I didn't mean that, dearest
00:32:45I'm sorry
00:32:46I'm only thinking of you
00:32:47After all, this isn't one of those towns where no one knows who lives next door
00:32:51They wouldn't throw things in our yard, would they?
00:32:54My poor darling
00:32:54I warned you to have nothing to do with me
00:32:58Steve
00:32:59If we take a room in the commercial hotel, I think it's a big bargain
00:33:02What difference does it make?
00:33:04I resent all this as much as you
00:33:05Oh, and that'll never blow over
00:33:06Who cares about the rest?
00:33:08Oh, be off with you
00:33:10It was too good to be true anyway
00:33:11Probably have termites that big
00:33:13Now don't run away
00:33:15I'm sorry
00:33:16The nurse is here with the little girl, Mr. Holland
00:33:17Oh, you bring them in, please
00:33:18Cynthia sent word that Ellen was coming in for shoes
00:33:20So I asked her to have nurse
00:33:21I'll go, Steve
00:33:22Oh, please, no, I want you to wait
00:33:24Oh, darling
00:33:25Hello, Danny
00:33:26I wonder where you've been
00:33:27Didn't mommy tell you?
00:33:29You bet I did
00:33:30Ellen, this is Maris
00:33:31Hello
00:33:32Hello, Ellen
00:33:33You have a funny hat
00:33:35And you have a funny little nose
00:33:36See my new shoes?
00:33:38Oh, aren't they lovely shoes?
00:33:40I have a pair of scandals, too
00:33:41You have?
00:33:42Yes, I have them when I go to the beach
00:33:44I guess I'll wear them
00:33:45Oh, that's a good idea, Ellen
00:33:47Bye
00:33:48Goodbye
00:33:49You have a funny name, too
00:33:51And you're a little angel
00:33:53Goodbye, Steve
00:33:56Let's wait here for a moment, darling
00:34:00Maris
00:34:02What a darling child she is
00:34:03Isn't she?
00:34:04Why not stay and let her know you a little?
00:34:06No, that's wrong
00:34:07Wrong?
00:34:08I don't think we ought to start that, Steve
00:34:10Cynthia's child is hers
00:34:11And mine
00:34:13But not mine, much as I wish she were
00:34:15Let's not mix her life up any more than it has to be
00:34:18You and Cynthia are her whole world
00:34:20Let it stay that way
00:34:21All right
00:34:23Sorry about the house
00:34:25What house?
00:34:25You mean the one with the big drafty kitchen
00:34:27And the silly little yard?
00:34:28I'll find one much better than that
00:34:31Goodbye, darling
00:34:41Good evening, Mr. Holland
00:34:44Glad you're back, sir
00:34:45Thank you, ma'am
00:34:47I'll see about a table
00:34:48It's usually mobbed on Thursday nights
00:34:49All right, darling
00:34:50How are you?
00:34:51Good evening, Mrs. Holland
00:34:52Good evening, sir
00:34:53Good evening
00:35:01It's all right, dear
00:35:03Oh, hello, Cynthia
00:35:04Hello, Steve
00:35:05How are you, Barnes?
00:35:06Good evening
00:35:07Steve, I want to meet your wife
00:35:10Maris, this is Cynthia
00:35:11How do you do?
00:35:12How do you do?
00:35:12And Mr. Barnes
00:35:13How do you do, sir?
00:35:13How do you do
00:35:14Are you having dinner, too?
00:35:15No, we're going
00:35:16Oh, I'm sorry
00:35:17Hello, Alice
00:35:18Hello, Cynthia
00:35:21Please make Steve happy
00:35:23Please do
00:35:29Well, I'll be a
00:35:31She's so lovely, Steve
00:35:37Well, what do you think I just saw?
00:35:51Good evening, Mr. James
00:35:52Glad to see you back, Holland
00:35:53Thank you so much
00:35:58And Cynthia turned around
00:35:59And walked right out again
00:36:00She looks terribly unhappy
00:36:02Oh, my
00:36:02I saw her last night
00:36:04She was wearing pretty snappy clothes
00:36:05For an unhappy day
00:36:06You men know all about it, don't you?
00:36:08Sorry
00:36:08I must say Steve Holland has his nerve
00:36:10Parading this one in the club on Thursday night
00:36:12He certainly doesn't have to be ashamed of her
00:36:14That's your man's answer
00:36:15Marry a woman, have a child
00:36:16And leave them both flat when you feel like it
00:36:18And get someone else
00:36:19I wouldn't waste too many tears on Cynthia
00:36:21We're not discussing personalities
00:36:23As a matter of fact, Cynthia's a very intelligent girl
00:36:25And a marvelous wife to Steve Holland
00:36:27Butter wouldn't melt in his mouth
00:36:29But I notice he didn't waste much time
00:36:31I'd like to be divorced for ten minutes
00:36:32And see you throw another woman in my face
00:36:35Couldn't afford it
00:36:36Yeah, poor Cynthia
00:36:37Sprouting along with her house and lot
00:36:38And a fat alimony check
00:36:40Well, Steve Holland is not going to force her down my throat
00:36:42I can tell you that
00:36:43Or mine
00:36:44Or mine
00:36:45And you can tell him I said so
00:36:47What for? Is he deaf?
00:36:51I hate to put you in the spotlight like this, darling
00:36:53It had to be sooner or later, Steve
00:36:55I want them to take a good look at you
00:36:57To see what being really beautiful means
00:37:00Is anyone not looking?
00:37:04It's like being in a fishbowl, isn't it?
00:37:07It's exciting
00:37:08People pleading with me to make you happy
00:37:10I thought I knew Cynthia
00:37:11She pinned my ears back with that little scene
00:37:14Well, that's all over
00:37:16I hope so
00:37:19I don't want to lose my friends
00:37:21Not my friends, too
00:37:22Who said you were losing them?
00:37:24I will
00:37:25They'll have to ask her
00:37:26And they couldn't ask me, too
00:37:27And then little by little
00:37:28You're going to talk yourself into feeling like a deserted wife
00:37:31What do you mean?
00:37:32For a girl who keeps saying she can't talk about it
00:37:33You sure manage to let a lot of people know how you feel
00:37:49Hello, darling
00:37:51What's that?
00:37:52Christmas list
00:37:53For Grandma, I'm talking between a nice warm shawl and a sled
00:37:56How about a blackjack?
00:37:58What smells so good?
00:37:59Hurry up and find a...
00:38:00We'll have ten minutes
00:38:05Mr. Holland is home, Laura
00:38:07We'll have dinner in about ten minutes
00:38:08Yes, Mrs. Holland
00:38:09Were you planning dinner or something special, Christmas?
00:38:12No, Laura, why?
00:38:13I was hoping I could spend Christmas with my folks
00:38:15If it's all right with you, Mrs. Holland
00:38:17It certainly is
00:38:18You keep this under your hat
00:38:19It's a big surprise for Mr. Holland
00:38:21But I want him to take me up the lake
00:38:22You mean the lake?
00:38:23Or for cold or bad winter?
00:38:25Oh, I know
00:38:25But you and I are southern gals, Laura
00:38:27And those tall, straight pines and shining ice
00:38:30Not for me
00:38:30No, ma'am
00:38:31Give me that old New Orleans in the wintertime
00:38:34Oh, all right, but don't you give me away
00:38:35No, ma'am
00:38:37Got everything you want, Holland?
00:38:40Maris?
00:38:40Yes, darling?
00:38:41Throw me a towel, will you, Jenny?
00:38:43Say, have we any plans for Christmas Day?
00:38:46Wait and see
00:38:47Because I have a note from Cynthia today
00:38:49Did you?
00:38:50She wants me to drop in there in the afternoon
00:38:52Edwin has made something for me
00:38:53And wants to give me herself
00:38:55Oh
00:38:56What?
00:38:58Of course
00:38:58You will have to go
00:39:01Dinner's ready whenever you are, Steve
00:39:02Right, Al
00:39:10We're staying home, aren't we?
00:39:12Yes
00:39:12Well, then I'll eat this way
00:39:13If it's all the same to you
00:39:14I'm a weary old man tonight
00:39:15You never look more handsome
00:39:16You weren't figuring on anything at Christmas, were you?
00:39:19No, I certainly was
00:39:20I'm going to do something
00:39:21I've been wanting to do very badly
00:39:23What's that?
00:39:23Make us a magnificent nine-course dinner
00:39:25All by myself
00:39:26Can you cook?
00:39:27Can I cook?
00:39:28You're talking to Grandma's girl
00:39:29I was making noodle soup
00:39:31Before I could say it
00:39:32Oh
00:39:47When you smoke a cigarette
00:39:48You put it right in there
00:39:50It's the nicest present I've ever had
00:39:52Do you see what it says?
00:39:54It's your name
00:39:55Did you think of this all by yourself, my baby?
00:39:57Of course she did, didn't you, darling?
00:39:59No, Mommy, don't you remember?
00:40:01You said Daddy would like it for his house
00:40:02Oh, yes
00:40:03I think her first idea was to knit you a muffler, Steve
00:40:06But I can't knit
00:40:08Oh
00:40:09Excuse me, it's time for Ellen's supper
00:40:10Oh, yeah
00:40:10Right
00:40:11Merry Christmas, my darling
00:40:14Merry Christmas, Daddy
00:40:15Would you like to stay on for a little while, Steve?
00:40:17Ellen could sit with us for dinner if you care to
00:40:19Well, no, no, thanks
00:40:20I can't
00:40:20Oh, that's too bad
00:40:21You've never seen us sit at a big table, have you?
00:40:25I wonder why you must go away
00:40:27I've got to
00:40:28Forgive me, darling, won't you?
00:40:30And thank you for the wonderful ashtray
00:40:31Don't you break it
00:40:32I won't
00:40:33Good night
00:40:34Good night, Mr. Holland
00:40:37She was a purple little lady
00:40:38Never even questioned my going
00:40:39Until you mentioned dinner
00:40:41I'm sorry, Steve
00:40:42I didn't think
00:40:42I know
00:40:43But I think we ought to be a little more careful
00:40:46We don't want her to have any more problems
00:40:47Than are necessary
00:40:48Heavens, I just seemed so
00:40:49I'm sorry
00:40:50I know you didn't do it deliberately
00:40:52Thank you, Steve
00:40:54Well, good night
00:40:55Good night
00:41:26What's this one?
00:41:27I don't know
00:41:28Just mixed them up
00:41:30Steve
00:41:32Wasn't so bad, was it?
00:41:33Dinner?
00:41:34Mm-hmm
00:41:35Great
00:41:35That's nice
00:41:37Something's gone wrong over there
00:41:39Yes
00:41:40I guess it'll have to be adjusted someday
00:41:43Steve, I'm scared it's an infernal machine
00:41:46Darling, you couldn't get up
00:41:47So that I could get up and find something soothing like holy night, could you?
00:41:52No, darling
00:41:52I couldn't get up for Tchaikovsky in person
00:41:55Ah, you know, we're liable to become awfully lazy this way
00:41:58What of it?
00:41:59In the twilight of life, when the strife is over
00:42:02Me and my wife
00:42:04And good old Roma
00:42:08I don't know about you, but this is the best Christmas I've ever had
00:42:11It's a wonderful Christmas
00:42:12And you're wonderful
00:42:13And we're all wonderful
00:42:14Don't hit me
00:42:16You know, I thought of us going away this Christmas up to the lake
00:42:18You've no idea what it's like on a winter's night
00:42:20The trees
00:42:21The moon and the ice
00:42:23Did you really want to, Steve?
00:42:25Would you have liked that, Ginny?
00:42:27I would not
00:42:28This sort of thing wouldn't be half as much fun on ice
00:42:34I'm innocent, Holland
00:42:35But they could pin it on me
00:42:36That's why we've got lawyers, Mr. Jameson
00:42:38Can you keep me out of jail?
00:42:39I can try
00:42:40Well, that's not very encouraging
00:42:42If I didn't think I could win, I wouldn't take the case
00:42:44Fair enough
00:42:46Hello
00:42:48You sound pretty happy
00:42:49I am happy, dearest
00:42:50I'm in love
00:42:51It's a glorious day
00:42:52And do you still want me for lunch?
00:42:53No, too busy
00:42:55Hi, Steve
00:42:55I'm jittery
00:42:56You'll see
00:42:59Right, dear
00:43:04Proud of your lunch today, Alec?
00:43:06Yes, ma'am
00:43:10The ladies are having a bridge
00:43:11Charity
00:43:12I'm sorry
00:43:13Is there someplace you could serve me a sandwich?
00:43:15Yes, ma'am
00:43:16I could serve you in the lounge
00:43:17Oh, Mrs. Holland
00:43:18The committee wasn't sure if you played or not
00:43:20Yes, I play bridge
00:43:22I dance
00:43:22I eat lunch occasionally
00:43:24I'm quite normal
00:43:25I'm sorry if you misunderstand, Mrs. Holland
00:43:27We merely tried to save you embarrassment
00:43:29You see, most of us here have known each other for quite a long while
00:43:33Cynthia is a friend of ours
00:43:35Of course, you're more than welcome to attend any of the regular club affairs
00:43:40Maris
00:43:40If you'll care to lunch
00:43:43Maris, I think she understands the situation now
00:43:46Does she?
00:43:47I'm sorry, but I don't
00:43:49I don't like stupid cruelty
00:43:52I hope this sort of thing never happens again
00:44:00Darling, I thought I was early
00:44:01I called you to meet me at the house
00:44:03Oh, I left the office just after we talked
00:44:04Why?
00:44:05It doesn't matter
00:44:06I'm all too excited, Steve
00:44:07What is this?
00:44:08You look pretty glum to me
00:44:09It's nothing
00:44:11Please tell me, Steve
00:44:13You'll know in two minutes
00:44:19Like it?
00:44:20Oh, Steve, you went
00:44:21Took an option on it yesterday
00:44:23Three acres
00:44:23From here to those big O's
00:44:24Come on
00:44:28This
00:44:28All this is yours, my queen
00:44:32Oh, Steve
00:44:34Steve, you shouldn't have
00:44:35It'll be stretching the credit for a time
00:44:36But what's the difference?
00:44:38We've got what we wanted
00:44:40Our own land
00:44:41Our own home
00:44:43Maris, dearest
00:44:44I know this is an awful time to break down, Steve
00:44:48But I can't help it
00:44:49What's wrong?
00:44:51Do you know what I thought before?
00:44:53That I'd go home to Washington for a little while
00:44:55What?
00:44:56Until you can straighten us out
00:44:57What are you saying?
00:44:59Oh, I love you, Steve
00:45:01Knowing all about it now, I'd do it over again
00:45:03But first you've got to settle your problem
00:45:05Maris, stop it
00:45:06I thought I married a man
00:45:08I married a divorced couple
00:45:09That's not true
00:45:10It is true, Steve
00:45:11I'm an outsider
00:45:12With the town
00:45:13With your mother
00:45:13With you
00:45:14Darling
00:45:14Yes, with you, Steve
00:45:15You're tied to her in a thousand ways
00:45:17You can't break away
00:45:18Even if you wanted to
00:45:19They won't let you
00:45:20Listen to me, Maris
00:45:21You mustn't say those things
00:45:23You're my life, dearest
00:45:24You're all of it
00:45:26You must never think anything else
00:45:27You're too fine
00:45:28Too genuine
00:45:29To let some of these idiotic people hurt you
00:45:31And you must never, never talk of leaving again
00:45:36No
00:45:37I couldn't leave you, Steve
00:45:41But they can't get away with it
00:45:43I won't let them get away with it
00:45:59Bless you, my children, bless you
00:46:01Good evening, Mrs. Kinsley
00:46:02Your roses, your beautiful roses
00:46:04Well, the good senator, my husband
00:46:06Looked at me suspiciously this morning
00:46:08For the first time in 30 years
00:46:10Why not?
00:46:10Did you get the passion flower
00:46:12I steeped into the box on the side?
00:46:13No, I didn't, you miserable man
00:46:15Well, you both look revoltingly happy
00:46:19Oh, now, Steve
00:46:20Hello, Cynthia
00:46:28Hello, how are you?
00:46:32Ah, Cynthia
00:46:33Mrs. Kingsley
00:46:34You look ravishing, my dear
00:46:35How are you?
00:46:36Not too well
00:46:36You look wonderful
00:46:38How's the little girl?
00:46:39Oh, she makes everything worthwhile
00:46:40What do you mean by that?
00:46:42Didn't you know Steve and I were the boys?
00:46:43Oh, yes, I knew it
00:46:44So you see
00:46:46And to see once more the happy faces
00:46:48Of one's old friends and neighbours
00:46:49Mrs. Kingsley, please forgive me for going, won't you?
00:46:51I certainly will not
00:46:53Why?
00:46:54Mother will
00:46:54Mrs. Holland will explain
00:46:56Why don't you explain?
00:46:57Is something wrong?
00:46:58Really, Mrs. Kingsley
00:46:59I had no idea you'd invited Cynthia, Emma
00:47:01I invited all my friends
00:47:03It was very nice of you, but I'd better go
00:47:04Cynthia
00:47:06Good evening
00:47:07Please don't go
00:47:08You were going, weren't you?
00:47:10Yes, I was
00:47:10But I wish you wouldn't
00:47:12I'd consider it a great favour
00:47:14I'm sorry
00:47:15You put on this act once before
00:47:16Right here in this club
00:47:18What's the idea of getting all dressed up
00:47:19And making a late entrance
00:47:20Just for the pleasure of leaving
00:47:21When you saw me?
00:47:22What was the point?
00:47:29I love you, Meris
00:47:31You shouldn't have done that
00:47:32Shouldn't I have, Steve?
00:47:33No
00:47:34It doesn't help matters
00:47:36It helped me an awful lot
00:47:38Cynthia may not have done that deliberately
00:47:39The list of guests for tonight
00:47:40Was in the paper
00:47:41She knew we'd be here
00:47:42Why all the dramatics
00:47:43Coming and going
00:47:44Everybody in the room's watching us
00:47:46And we're quarrelling about her
00:47:48She's got what she wanted
00:47:49Is that just?
00:47:50Should we make it complete?
00:47:51A really good scandal?
00:47:52Shall we leave too?
00:47:53No, not on your life
00:47:54I think you were wrong
00:47:55To make a fuss
00:47:56So do I
00:47:56But I just got mad
00:47:59All right
00:48:00Let's dance
00:48:03Look here, son
00:48:05Let me have a hooker of rye
00:48:16Oh, here's mother
00:48:19Now?
00:48:21Why?
00:48:21What can I do about it?
00:48:24She can't do that
00:48:25I'll be right there
00:48:28Meris
00:48:29I've got to go over to my mother's
00:48:30At this hour, Steve?
00:48:32Cynthia's there
00:48:33She threatens to leave town tomorrow
00:48:34And take Ellen with her
00:48:35Can she do that?
00:48:36Is she the right to?
00:48:37Yes, but I'm not going to let her
00:48:39Will you forgive me for going, darling?
00:48:41Of course, Steve
00:48:43I'll be back as soon as I can
00:48:50I'm sorry this happened
00:48:52She's in there
00:48:58Cynthia, there's no reason
00:48:59To carry on like this
00:49:00Isn't there, Steve?
00:49:02I feel shabby and humiliated
00:49:04I'm sorry
00:49:05I don't see how I can hold my head up
00:49:07In this town again, ever
00:49:08I thought you asked for what you got
00:49:12I think it'd be better for all of us
00:49:13If I left
00:49:14I'm taking Ellen and going away
00:49:16No, that's impossible
00:49:17I won't have Ellen and Cynthia
00:49:18Driven out like criminals
00:49:19New York, anywhere
00:49:19It's out of the question
00:49:21Not to see Ellen except once or twice a year
00:49:23With luck
00:49:24You can't do that, Cynthia
00:49:25There's no reason why we can't all be happy
00:49:27Happy? Oh, Steve
00:49:29Why can't we all live like intelligent people then?
00:49:32I don't want to be selfish
00:49:33But it's become too difficult
00:49:34If you didn't carry on
00:49:36Every time you saw Madness
00:49:36There would be no difficulty
00:49:37It'd be better for you
00:49:38And for everyone if I went away
00:49:39Let me decide that
00:49:41Do you think I can face people after tonight?
00:49:44Talk, gossip
00:49:44Cynthia, I'm in the middle of an important case
00:49:46I can't think of anything else right now
00:49:47I'm thinking of my baby, Steve
00:49:49You're thinking what your friends will say about tonight
00:49:51Why not get away from your friends for a while?
00:49:53Let me send you an Ellen away somewhere
00:49:55Up to the lake
00:49:55Till I get clear of this case
00:49:57I think it'll do you good, dear
00:49:58You can go away tomorrow morning
00:49:59And stay as long as you like
00:50:02If you want us to, Steve, we'll do it
00:50:04I certainly do
00:50:05You can't decide anything like this
00:50:06Until I've had time to think about it
00:50:08And whatever happens, I won't lose Ellen
00:50:18Malice
00:50:19Yes, Steve
00:50:21Do you mind, dear?
00:50:23May I turn on the light?
00:50:24Of course, darling
00:50:30She had been going for a while
00:50:31But I got her to wait
00:50:32That's good
00:50:34You'd better get to bed, Steve
00:50:36You have a hard day ahead of you
00:50:38She feels we'd be happier if she left
00:50:40We would
00:50:41Well, you can't mean that
00:50:42She doesn't mean it, Steve
00:50:43She hasn't the slightest intention of leaving
00:50:46I told you
00:50:47All we do is worry about Cynthia and her troubles
00:50:49She is the important person in this house
00:50:52I don't want to worry you, menace
00:50:53Well, I want to be sympathetic
00:50:54But she's not even decent
00:50:56I do feel a certain responsibility
00:50:59For me, too, or just for her, Steve
00:51:02I'm sorry
00:51:03I didn't mean that
00:51:04But don't you see
00:51:05You're having the same kind of scenes with both of us
00:51:07But, darling, I was married to Cynthia
00:51:09Ellen is our child
00:51:10I can't bear the idea of not being able to see her
00:51:13Am I wrong in that matters?
00:51:15How could you be?
00:51:16How could you feel any differently?
00:51:18But that's just what Cynthia's counting on, Steve
00:51:20That's why we'll never be free of her
00:51:29But it's so early, Mommy
00:51:31You have a little cold, dear
00:51:32Have I, Mommy?
00:51:33Yes, dear
00:51:34You must rest
00:51:35I want to hear them play the lovely music so much
00:51:38Well, maybe you will
00:51:42Ellen
00:51:43Wouldn't it be nice if Daddy came up here to see us?
00:51:46Is he, Mommy?
00:51:47Would you really like him, too?
00:51:48Oh, yes, Mommy, please
00:51:50Well, we'll see
00:51:51In you go
00:51:56Can you state definitely that Mr. Jamison
00:51:57All of you to sell that block of stock?
00:52:00It is my impression that he did
00:52:02I want a definite answer
00:52:03Yes or no
00:52:05Well, it's my impression that
00:52:06You realize you may be sending a man to the penitentiary
00:52:08Yes or no?
00:52:11I think he did
00:52:13Yes
00:52:15That's all
00:52:17Court is adjourned until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning
00:52:22Well, Steve
00:52:23I'll tell you tomorrow
00:52:24I didn't like the way they took that last witness
00:52:26We might
00:52:27Well, I think we should have a meeting this evening
00:52:28To find out where we go from this point
00:52:30Absolutely
00:52:30About 9 o'clock at the office
00:52:329 o'clock's fine
00:52:32I'll see you later
00:52:36You are splendid, Stephen
00:52:37Thank you, darling
00:52:38Here she is
00:52:39Will you win, Steve?
00:52:40If they believe us
00:52:41Let's have them downtown
00:52:42Show with the three of us
00:52:43Then maybe you and Mother can take in a movie
00:52:44I have a meeting at 9
00:52:46Mr. Holland
00:52:47I have a message for you, sir
00:52:48To call Mrs. Holland at the inn
00:52:49Oh, thanks
00:52:50There are phones in the lobby
00:52:51I hope nothing's wrong, Stephen
00:52:54You must go to sleep now, darling
00:52:56But the air isn't dark outside
00:52:58Still feel a tickle in your throat?
00:52:59Oh, no, Mommy
00:53:00You sure?
00:53:01Yes, Mommy
00:53:02I tried and tried
00:53:03But I can't feel anything
00:53:04Good
00:53:04All right
00:53:05Now close your eyes
00:53:06Mommy, please leave the door
00:53:08When you go downstairs
00:53:11I may not be going downstairs, darling
00:53:13Good night
00:53:14Good night, Mommy
00:53:19Hello?
00:53:20Yes
00:53:21Yes, hello, Steve
00:53:22Is something wrong, Cynthia?
00:53:23Ellen isn't feeling very well, Steve
00:53:25She seems to have a little cold
00:53:26How bad is it?
00:53:27Well, I'm not really worried about her
00:53:29But she's been asking for you
00:53:31You have a doctor?
00:53:33Well, it isn't as bad as that
00:53:35Just that she wanted to see you
00:53:36Cynthia, how ill is she?
00:53:38I don't want you to worry
00:53:39Has she a fever?
00:53:41No
00:53:41No temperature to speak of
00:53:42I'll be at my office from 9
00:53:44Until about midnight
00:53:45I want you to call me
00:53:46If there's a slightest change
00:53:48Yes, Steve
00:53:49Then phone me at home
00:53:50Anytime during the night after that
00:53:52If I didn't have this meeting
00:53:53I'll run up there right now
00:53:54It's nothing at all
00:53:55I'll be with her continually, of course
00:53:56If she gets any worse
00:53:57Let me know right away
00:53:59I shouldn't even have called you
00:54:00Except that I thought you ought to know
00:54:02Have you everything you want?
00:54:03Yes, of course
00:54:04I'll phone you if I think it's necessary
00:54:05Goodbye
00:54:10But if Cynthia hasn't even had a doctor
00:54:12Well, she must be worried
00:54:12To have called me here
00:54:14But she promised to let you know
00:54:15If Ellen became worse
00:54:16I wish this conference tonight
00:54:17Weren't so important
00:54:18I could drive up and back easily
00:54:20Don't worry, dear
00:54:21If Jameson weren't so shaky
00:54:23I hate to run out on him
00:54:24Would you like me to go up there, Stephen?
00:54:26Oh, no, Mother
00:54:26That's sweet of you
00:54:27It's too hard to drive at night
00:54:28Oh, nonsense
00:54:29I should feel much better in my own mind
00:54:31And so would you
00:54:33Frankly, I'm worried, Stephen
00:54:34I feel sure that Cynthia
00:54:35Wouldn't have called
00:54:36If she weren't frightened
00:54:38I think you should go, Steve
00:54:39I think this is far more important
00:54:41Than any case you'll ever have
00:54:42If Ellen is ill, you'll want to be there
00:54:44If Ellen is ill?
00:54:45I think there's a possibility
00:54:46That there's nothing at all wrong with her
00:54:48What?
00:54:49Are you saying that Cynthia
00:54:50Would deliberately pretend that...
00:54:51I don't know
00:54:52But it's exactly the sort of thing
00:54:54She's been doing
00:54:54Ever since we've been married
00:54:55What?
00:54:56You mean she'd lie about
00:54:57Ellen being sick?
00:54:58If Ellen is ill
00:54:59And calling for her father
00:55:00You should be there
00:55:01If she isn't
00:55:02You'll want to know that too
00:55:03Won't you, Steve?
00:55:04I can't imagine anyone thinking that
00:55:05Just a minute, Mother
00:55:07I'll call off the meeting
00:55:08We'll go up right now
00:55:17Good evening, Mr. Holland
00:55:18Haven't seen you in quite some time
00:55:19Hello
00:55:20What's Mrs. Holland's room number, please?
00:55:21431
00:55:22431
00:55:22Mrs. Holland, I believe, is dancing
00:55:23In the social hall
00:55:24I'll tell her
00:55:25No, no, never mind
00:55:26Just give her the key
00:55:27Until I'm here
00:55:27When she's through dancing, will you?
00:55:28Yes, sir
00:55:29Thank you
00:55:29I'll wait here, Steve
00:55:38I'm sorry
00:55:39Excuse me just a moment
00:55:46What are you doing here?
00:55:47Is Steve with you?
00:55:48Yes
00:55:48He went up to see Ellen
00:55:50You did this
00:55:51You made him come up here
00:55:52To check up on me
00:55:53I don't have to check up on you, Cynthia
00:55:55I knew all about you long ago
00:55:58Can't I dress for dinner
00:55:59Because I have a child?
00:56:00Or is that wrong?
00:56:02You don't have to defend yourself to me
00:56:03I have nothing to defend
00:56:05You care to come with me?
00:56:07Thank you
00:56:09Daddy, when did you come here?
00:56:11Don't talk now, Ellen
00:56:13Isn't the music lovely, Grandma?
00:56:15Yes, darling
00:56:17I'll get her to sleep
00:56:27I'll tell Steve you're waiting
00:56:33Steve
00:56:35Why didn't you let me know you were here?
00:56:37They said you were dancing
00:56:38I wanted to see Ellen
00:56:38I must have just missed you
00:56:39I went downstairs five minutes ago
00:56:41What was the matter with her, Cynthia?
00:56:42I told you
00:56:43She complained of her throat
00:56:44She's perfectly all right now
00:56:45Well, you don't think I'd leave her
00:56:47If she wasn't, do you?
00:56:48I didn't think you'd leave her at all
00:56:49After the way you spoke on the telephone
00:56:50But when she went to sleep
00:56:51Feeling so much better
00:56:52I want to know why you called me
00:56:54Ellen asked for you
00:56:55The last thing she said
00:56:57Before she went to sleep
00:56:57Was that she wanted to see you
00:56:59I'm sure she asked for me
00:57:00Yes, so she asked me
00:57:01To stay for dinner at Christmas
00:57:03You put the words into her mouth, didn't you?
00:57:04How can you say that?
00:57:05You've been crying
00:57:06That you wouldn't have her hurt
00:57:07It's you who are hurting her
00:57:08I heard Ellen
00:57:09By tricks like this
00:57:10You've been using her to persuade my mother
00:57:12That you're a martyr
00:57:13That marriage is an intruder
00:57:14Do you think Mother believes that?
00:57:16Why don't you ask her?
00:57:17She's in the next room
00:57:25Mother, I...
00:57:40Well, what else do you want?
00:57:41Nothing
00:57:42You were bound to overreach yourself once, Cynthia
00:57:44And you have
00:57:45I know everything there is to know about you
00:57:47And nothing you can ever do
00:57:48Could hurt us anymore
00:57:56Wait a minute
00:57:58I think there's something you don't know
00:58:01Yesterday you asked me to postpone my decision
00:58:03Well, I've made it
00:58:04I'm taking Ellen to New York to stay
00:58:06You can't do that
00:58:07You can't do that to Steve
00:58:08Oh, yes, I can
00:58:10She's going right out of your life
00:58:11And she's going to stay out
00:58:14Didn't you believe me when I told you
00:58:15I was finished with you?
00:58:16Well, I am
00:58:16You can do as you please
00:58:18You'll never have a chance to interfere with us again
00:58:20Much as I love Ellen
00:58:21If keeping her means smashing my life with Maris
00:58:24Then I'm willing to lose her
00:58:25That is final, Cynthia
00:58:29Come, Maris
00:58:30No
00:58:31Would you deprive Ellen of her father?
00:58:33A man like Steve
00:58:34Even all he can mean to her and do for her
00:58:36Why should that interest you?
00:58:37Steve told you to take Ellen away
00:58:38You must know what making that decision meant to him
00:58:40You've no power over Steve any longer, Cynthia
00:58:42That one hold you had on him is gone now
00:58:44I don't have to listen to this
00:58:45Oh, yes, you do
00:58:46You're beaten and you know it
00:58:48You never wanted to leave town
00:58:49You wouldn't know what to do
00:58:50Without a couple of hundred shoulders to weep on
00:58:52But you've overplayed your hand
00:58:53And now you can't stay here
00:58:55I'll stay if I like
00:58:55And I'd like to see you get me out
00:58:57I won't
00:58:57But Mrs. Holland will
00:58:58When she's finished with you
00:58:59Your friends will finally recognize you
00:59:01Now, you don't deserve it, Cynthia
00:59:02But you're going to have another chance
00:59:03A chance to go on as though nothing had happened
00:59:05That's very kind of you
00:59:06I think so
00:59:07All you have to do is behave yourself from now on
00:59:09And we'll call it quits
00:59:15Another most marvelous woman, Cynthia
00:59:24Good evening, Mrs. Holland
00:59:25Good evening, Alice
00:59:39Excuse me
00:59:40What's up?
00:59:44Son, let me have a slug of it
00:59:45Never mind
00:59:48Just a minute
00:59:51I have a message for you
00:59:53Ellen wants a bicycle with red wheels for her birthdays to you
00:59:56Hello, Maris
00:59:57What a lovely gown
00:59:58Thank you, Cynthia
00:59:59With red wheels, I won't forget
01:00:00Nice to see you
01:00:06Son, I'll never touch another drop as long as I live
01:00:36All right
01:00:39viel
