00:01:04THIS HAPPENED LAST YEAR, ABOUT A WEEK BEFORE CHRISTMAS.
00:01:07THE HARPER FAMILY LIVED IN A CHARMING COMMUNITY CALLED BALBOA, ABOUT 50 MILES FROM LOS ANGELES.
00:01:15EARLY ONE MORNING, MRS. HARPER TOOK HER CAR AND DROVE TO LOS ANGELES, AND...
00:01:22MOTHER, MOTHER, WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

00:02:38I don't think this celebration is a big thing.
00:02:41It took me for 50 last night.
00:02:43I don't think the game was on the level.
00:02:55Too early to serve anything yet, miss?
00:02:57That's all right.
00:02:59Won't be long. Ten minutes.
00:03:06Morning.
00:03:11Bar?
00:03:12In the barn.
00:03:24Mrs. Harper?
00:03:25Yes.
00:03:25Ted Darby.
00:03:26Pete?
00:03:27Ten minutes.
00:03:29So you're B's mother?
00:03:30Yes, I am, Mr. Darby, and I...
00:03:31I never realized she had such a young mother.
00:03:35There's quite a resemblance.
00:03:39I'm sorry, I can't offer you a drink yet.
00:03:40I didn't come to make a social call, Mr. Darby.
00:03:42What I have to say won't take a minute.
00:03:44As you please.
00:03:44I don't want you to see my daughter again.
00:03:47Isn't that something for B to decide?
00:03:48I don't think so.
00:03:49She's only a child.
00:03:50Only 17.
00:03:5118, that's smart.
00:03:52Only 17, Mr. Darby.
00:03:53And it's plain to see she's not old enough to know what's good for her.
00:03:56Mrs. Harper, there's no harm.
00:03:58B likes to get around, meet interesting people.
00:04:01I can do that for her.
00:04:02She can get along very nicely without you.
00:04:03You're not the kind of person I want B to see.
00:04:05I hope you're not judging by my temporary surroundings, Mrs. Harper.
00:04:08My apartment...
00:04:09I know the kind of man you are, Mr. Darby.
00:04:11I've gone to the trouble to find out.
00:04:13How does B feel about all this?
00:04:15I haven't discussed it with her and I don't intend to
00:04:17because you're going to stop seeing her.
00:04:19I am?
00:04:20Yes, and there's nothing I won't do to stop it.
00:04:23Maybe we should talk this over.
00:04:25There's nothing to talk over.
00:04:26Yes, there is.
00:04:27You've been pretty frank and I'm going to be the same.
00:04:31I didn't know how strongly you felt about my seeing B.
00:04:34And now that I do, I want to cooperate.
00:04:36I want to help you.
00:04:37I think with a little common sense, we can get this all straightened out.
00:04:40Straightened out?
00:04:41Just how important is it to you that I don't see her anymore?
00:04:44It's very important.
00:04:44I mean, as far as money is concerned.
00:04:47Otherwise, I couldn't possibly promise not to see her again, Mrs. Harper.
00:04:51You won't have to, Mr. Darby.
00:04:53You've made it very simple for me.
00:04:54I can discuss it with her now and I'll have nothing to worry about
00:04:57when she hears how deeply you feel about her.
00:04:59Goodbye, Mr. Darby.
00:05:20Operator, get me Balboa.
00:05:23Harbor, 2626.
00:05:24Miss Beatrice Harper, please.
00:05:35Hey, Mother.
00:05:36How come you went up to Los Angeles this morning and didn't tell any of us?
00:05:39I had some things to attend to.
00:05:41I'm going to put on a new bumper, Mother.
00:05:43I think you're too late and put on your shirt, David.
00:05:45Okay.
00:05:50Hello, Father.
00:05:53How's everything?
00:05:54Why didn't you tell us you were going to L.A. this morning?
00:05:56I, uh...
00:05:58I wanted to get to the store before the crowd.
00:06:01Sybil, will you turn that vacuum cleaner off?
00:06:03I can't hear the race results.
00:06:04I don't know why you want to hear it, Mr. Harper.
00:06:06Hello, Mrs. Harper.
00:06:07Hello, Mrs. Harper.
00:06:07You never win anyhow.
00:06:09Sybil, where's Bea?
00:06:10She hasn't talked to anyone all afternoon.
00:06:12She's in your room, Mrs. Harper.
00:06:13You's in your shower again.
00:06:19Is that you, Mother?
00:06:20Yes, Bea.
00:06:22When you're through your shower, I'd like to talk to you.
00:06:25I know.
00:06:26What do you mean, you know?
00:06:29Mother, how could you humiliate me so terribly by going to see Ted?
00:06:33Well, it was a little humiliating for me, too.
00:06:35I'm not used to dealing with people of his kind.
00:06:37Do you know what kind of a man he is?
00:06:39Yes, I know.
00:06:40But you're going to tell me that he's a low, vile character.
00:06:43He is.
00:06:43That he lives in a horrible, dirty hotel.
00:06:46When Ted called, he told me that's about what you'd say.
00:06:48No, wait a minute.
00:06:49I said, wait, Bea.
00:06:51And did your friend, Mr. Darby, also tell you he was perfectly willing not to see you again,
00:06:54providing I made it worth his while financially?
00:06:57I don't believe it.
00:06:58You don't think I'd make up a thing like that, do you?
00:07:01Ted said you made such a scene.
00:07:03He said you got all upset and excited.
00:07:05You might have misunderstood.
00:07:07I didn't misunderstand anything.
00:07:09He made his intentions perfectly clear.
00:07:11Mother, you think you understand people.
00:07:14But you really are terribly old-fashioned.
00:07:16You couldn't possibly understand a man like Ted.
00:07:19I wouldn't want to.
00:07:20Sybil, did you do my blouse yet?
00:07:22I haven't been able to get to it yet, Bea.
00:07:24Well, I asked you a whole hour ago.
00:07:26Bea, you ought not talk like that to Sybil.
00:07:30Sybil, you don't have to do the downstairs today.
00:07:34Bea, let's not lose our tempers. Let's be reasonable.
00:07:37Mother, I don't care to discuss it anymore.
00:07:40Well, it's not a question of whether you care to discuss it.
00:07:42You're not to see that man again.
00:07:43You must give me your promise you won't see him again.
00:07:47I can't promise that, Mother.
00:07:48No? Then you're not going back to Los Angeles.
00:07:51I'll take you out of art school.
00:07:54You wouldn't do such a thing.
00:07:55I just did.
00:07:58Well, that won't keep us apart.
00:08:00We'll see each other somehow.
00:08:03Oh, Bea, stop acting.
00:08:05You're not to see him again.
00:08:06That's fine.
00:08:06Now, get dressed and pick up your clothes.
00:08:10Mother, can't you trust me?
00:08:13I'm not having a nasty love affair with him, if that's what you think.
00:08:17Bea, I've been stupid and indulgent.
00:08:19Your father wanted you to go to college,
00:08:20and I took your side and persuaded him to let you go to art school,
00:08:23which he felt was wrong because of the freedom and the people you'd be exposed to.
00:08:26I mistakenly thought you were right thinking enough to be discriminating about the friends you chose.
00:08:30Well, he was right and I was wrong.
00:08:32You never would have met Darby if we'd listened to him.
00:08:35Now, I know it's difficult for you to understand because you're still a child.
00:08:39I probably would have felt the same way at your age.
00:08:41The difference is that when you're 17 today, you know what the score is.
00:08:46You're not a child anymore.
00:08:47Bea, I'm not going to sit here all day and go over the same thing again and again.
00:08:51You're not going to do that...
00:08:52You're not going to see the...
00:08:54Philadelphia calling.
00:08:56That's your father.
00:08:59How's it going with you, son?
00:09:01What?
00:09:02You are Tom.
00:09:03Wonderful.
00:09:04Hey, Dad.
00:09:04Can I talk to him, Grandpa?
00:09:06Wait a minute, Tom.
00:09:06Here's David.
00:09:08Hi, Dad.
00:09:10Swell.
00:09:11Huh?
00:09:11You ought to see it.
00:09:12It's almost a car now.
00:09:13Let me talk to him, David.
00:09:14Hold it.
00:09:15He's in Philadelphia.
00:09:17He's telling me all about his car.
00:09:19Tom.
00:09:20How are you, dear?
00:09:22I'm fine.
00:09:24We're all fine.
00:09:25Yes.
00:09:26There's just one little problem.
00:09:28Bea wants a blue Christmas tree for Christmas and the rest of us are holding out for a green one.
00:09:33How do you vote?
00:09:35What?
00:09:35You won't be here?
00:09:36Berlin?
00:09:37Oh, Tom, you can't be away for Christmas.
00:09:41I don't care, Tom.
00:09:43They've done without that bridge over there for four years.
00:09:45I should think they could do without it for another two weeks.
00:09:47Oh, I'm sorry.
00:09:48I know it's what we've wanted.
00:09:49It's wonderful, Tom.
00:09:51Wonderful.
00:09:51It has been ordered to Berlin.
00:09:52Yes, she's here.
00:09:53Wait a minute.
00:09:54Here, dear.
00:09:56David just told me.
00:09:57Oh, we're going to miss you.
00:10:00Yes, I'm fine.
00:10:02Art school?
00:10:05Oh, I'm getting along beautifully.
00:10:08Owen.
00:10:09Oh, I haven't seen it.
00:10:10Well, I haven't seen anyone lately.
00:10:11I've been too busy.
00:10:13Mother wants to talk to you.
00:10:15Hurry home.
00:10:19Tom?
00:10:20What?
00:10:22I think she's taking art school a little too seriously.
00:10:26I'll tell her, dear.
00:10:27And don't worry about anything, darling.
00:10:29We'll all be fine.
00:10:30Goodness, Tom, this isn't anything.
00:10:31You were away three years during the war.
00:10:34Oh, you know I do, Tom.
00:10:37Bye, darling.
00:10:38I'll write tonight.
00:10:43Yes?
00:10:44It's me, Mother.
00:10:45Just a second.
00:10:59Now you can come in.
00:11:05I wanted to say good night.
00:11:07Why aren't you wearing your slippers?
00:11:08I'm hardening my feet for track.
00:11:10Good night, dear.
00:11:11Good night.
00:11:11I'd like to see you once, fully dressed.
00:11:13Writing to Dad so soon?
00:11:15Boy, a grown-up sure can't be goony.
00:11:17You're talking just this afternoon.
00:11:19I don't get it.
00:11:20Because we're goony.
00:11:21Good night, dear.
00:11:22Good night.
00:11:34David, you smell like a garage.
00:11:36I take a shower every morning.
00:11:38Yes, but I have to sleep with you every night.
00:11:49Yes, but I'm fine.
00:13:30Where are you?
00:13:32Here, in the boathouse.
00:13:34Where are you?
00:13:35In here, Bea.
00:13:37Where?
00:13:37Over here.
00:13:38I can't see you.
00:13:39Here.
00:14:04Here, Bea.
00:14:09When I got home, she made such a scene.
00:14:12She said I had a promise never to see you again.
00:14:16That you weren't interested in me at all.
00:14:18All you wanted was money.
00:14:20But if she paid you, you'd never see me again.
00:14:23That's not true, is it?
00:14:26As a matter of fact, Bea, I am desperate for money.
00:14:31No.
00:14:32What a horrible thing to say.
00:14:34Now, look.
00:14:35Look, if your mother does give me the money, that doesn't mean that I won't see you again.
00:14:38Let go.
00:14:39Go!
00:14:41But, Bea, it doesn't mean I won't...
00:14:48Bea.
00:14:51You don't understand.
00:15:14You don't understand.
00:15:20Come down. Come down. Who was it?
00:15:22It was Ted.
00:15:24Mother, you were right. I know, I know.
00:15:26I never should have called him again.
00:15:27All right, all right. Just try to tell me what happened.
00:15:30I was in the boat house.
00:15:33All he did want was the money.
00:15:36I hate him.
00:15:37My dear, where is he now?
00:15:39I don't know. I loved him.
00:15:41You go on upstairs. I'll be up in a minute.
00:16:01Come on.
00:16:06Can I help you, Mrs. Harper?
00:16:07No. No, thanks.
00:16:25Come on.
00:16:27Come on.
00:16:54Was he out there?
00:16:55No, he's gone.
00:16:58Oh, Mother, I wish I'd never gone.
00:17:00Don't talk about it anymore, dear. It's over. Come on to bed.
00:17:04Come on, dear.
00:17:09It was so awful.
00:17:11I just couldn't never go through a thing like that again.
00:17:13You won't have to, dear.
00:17:15I promise you.
00:17:25I'll get you a hot water bottle.
00:17:26I'll help you see.
00:17:33What's all the running up and downstairs, Lucia?
00:17:36Nothing, Father. Bea isn't feeling well.
00:17:38I'm a growing boy. I need my rest.
00:17:40Go back to bed, David.
00:17:41I said go back to bed.
00:17:52Mother, can I have a piece of chocolate cake?
00:17:55Good night, David.
00:18:03Good morning, Mrs. Harper.
00:18:06Good morning, Sybil.
00:18:07You were up awful early this morning.
00:18:09I couldn't sleep.
00:18:11Can I fix you some breakfast?
00:18:13No, thanks, Sybil. You go back to bed. I'm going for a walk.
00:18:16Yes, sir.
00:18:26You're welcome.
00:18:27Come on, Mrs. Harper.
00:18:27Come on, Mr.秘書.
00:18:27Come on, yeah.
00:18:28I'll soon.
00:18:29Come on, didn't you?
00:18:31Come on, Mrs. Harper.
