00:02Here are Robert Young and Jane Wyatt, with Ellen O'Donohue, Billy Gray, and Lauren Chapin in Father Knows Best.
00:13I just can't believe you're starting off to college today.
00:18Seems like only yesterday we were trying to get you through the fifth grade.
00:21Yeah, I know. Well, I've got to run, Dad, or I'll be late for registration.
00:25I really should give you a big lecture on this occasion. A lot of sage advice.
00:31Well, could you spare me that?
00:33I'll have to. I've already told you everything I know.
00:39Just be sure to get off to a good start.
00:42Yeah, I will, Dad.
00:43I still say that you want to branch out more in the courses than you're planning to.
00:48I know you're taking a pre-engineering course, but remember, the successful engineer today also needs to know languages.
00:56Economics, philosophy, the humanities.
00:57Yeah, I know, Dad. I really don't need all this advice.
01:04What I do need is a $10 loan.
01:08$10?
01:10I thought you had enough for your fees and books and all.
01:13I do have, but I also have a tire on my car that's so thin I could puncture it with
01:17a sharp marshmallow.
01:21Well, okay.
01:22But this is just a loan.
01:25This money demand keeps up, I may have to go to college myself and take a course in counterfeiting.
01:31Thanks, Dad.
01:32Well, Mom, I'm off. Wish me luck.
01:34Now, do you have everything you need? A pencil?
01:37Yes, Mother dear, I have a pencil. I'm not entering kindergarten, you know.
01:40No, but this is a big step.
01:42Oh, I still wish Betty could go with you and help you register.
01:45I don't need Betty to help me.
01:47I know, but remember what I told you. Be sure and put down the right course numbers when you register.
01:52They don't go by the names of the course, they go by the numbers.
01:54I don't need you to tell me all this.
01:56Okay, but it's very easy to get mixed up and rush you through that line like sausages on a conveyor,
02:01Bill.
02:01Oh, Betty, couldn't you go with him and make sure he gets the right classes?
02:04You know, seniors don't register till tomorrow.
02:06Just for freshmen today.
02:08This is their orientation day.
02:10Now, dear, you're sure it's going to be warm.
02:11Oh, do you have your key?
02:12Now, wait a minute.
02:12Have you got your line?
02:13Have you got your line?
02:14Have you got your line?
02:14Oh, Walter, look it.
02:15If I don't get there, they won't even let me in.
02:17Oh, have a good time.
02:22Does anybody have a pencil?
02:28Why do I keep feeding it?
02:29Something will go wrong today.
02:31Because it will.
02:32That's one solid thing about good old Bud.
02:35You can always depend on him to goof something.
02:43Joyce Kendall.
02:44Joyce Kendall.
02:46Joyce Kendall.
02:47Joyce Kendall.
02:51Joyce Kendall.
02:54Joyce Kendall.
02:55The guy's got to be fast around here.
02:57Yeah, at this rate, we'll graduate halfway through our freshman year.
03:00James Anderson.
03:01James Anderson.
03:03Uh, junior.
03:04You're a junior?
03:06But this is for freshmen.
03:08Oh, I am a freshman, but I'm a junior.
03:10I mean, that's my name.
03:12James Anderson, freshman.
03:13Who's junior?
03:14No, sorry, class 209 is filled.
03:16You'll have to take either 211 or 212.
03:19That'll give you a conflict with your 418 here.
03:22You can't change that without dropping 313.
03:25What?
03:26Well, you'll have to go back to the beginning of the line and see Mr. Simmons.
03:30Yes, sir.
03:35Sorry.
03:37Hello, Mr. Smith.
03:46Bye.
03:46Over here.
03:47Oh, hi.
03:49Boy, am I beat.
03:51I think I'd better be right about them learning it through like a bunch of sausages.
03:54I feel like I've been through the grinder.
03:55Your class is all set now?
03:57Well, finally, yeah.
03:59Well, let's see if we have any classes together.
04:01Hmm?
04:02Well, I think the only one would be freshman English, unless you're taking engineering.
04:05Well, my English class is 103 and yours is 105.
04:09Darn it.
04:12What's that for?
04:13Fire drill?
04:14Somebody set fire to the place already?
04:18Nope.
04:18No, we're supposed to go to our classes and meet our teachers and get oriental.
04:22Didn't you read your instructions?
04:24Oh, hey, Joyce, wait.
04:26After we're through being oriental, why don't we go down to the malt shop and have a lotus blossom malt?
04:32Okay.
04:33I'll meet you right here.
04:34Okay.
04:35Well, come on.
04:36Let's go meet the monsters.
04:38What's your first class?
04:39Friggin' mama.
04:54This is amazing.
04:56Look at all the girls in here.
04:58Haven't you ever seen girls before?
04:59Sure.
05:01It just seems strange that girls would be taking a course like...
05:04Hey, hey, hey, look at that.
05:06Yeah, man.
05:16Say, is that the teacher?
05:18Sure.
05:18Why do you think I signed up for this course?
05:20To learn something?
05:21All you, ladies and gentlemen.
05:23Welcome to my class.
05:25I hope we will all have a wonderful time together this semester.
05:29Man, you know it.
05:31My name is Miss Louvois.
05:33Jeanette Louvois.
05:42Jeanette Louvois.
05:48Soon I shall know all of your names.
05:50And perhaps we shall learn to speak our names in French as well as in English.
05:58Is this a French class?
05:59Sure.
06:00What did you think it was?
06:01Trigonometry or something?
06:03First, we must make sure that we are in the right class.
06:06Sometimes with all the rush, rush on freshman day, we do make mistakes.
06:10So, take your registration cards and see if you have listed for the first period, course number 419.
06:19Quatre, un, neuf.
06:21This is elementary French.
06:23Now, is there anyone who should not be here?
06:30You?
06:32You are not staying with me?
06:34Oh, I am disappointed.
06:37Here, let me check to make positive.
06:41Well, never mind.
06:43I'm, uh, I've got 419.
06:45I'm staying.
06:47Well, I'm glad.
06:49I would not want to lose so handsome a French student.
06:55College algebra.
06:57English composition.
07:00Elementary French.
07:02Mechanical.
07:03French.
07:04You weren't going to take French.
07:07Oh, I know.
07:09You got mixed up and got in the wrong class after all, didn't you?
07:13No, no, of course not.
07:16I just got to thinking about what Dad said about branching out.
07:20What is it?
07:20Is it a crime to take French?
07:22Want me to drop it?
07:22Oh, no, no, it's fine.
07:24It's just that, well, we didn't think you were planning on it.
07:27What teacher do you have for it?
07:29Teacher, I, uh, I don't know.
07:32Some woman, I wasn't paying too much attention.
07:34Well, I got to go to studying.
07:35Studying already?
07:37Yep.
07:38Dad wants me to get off for a good start in college.
07:43Oh, by the way, your girlfriend Joyce called you a couple of times.
07:47What, Joyce?
07:49Oh.
07:50Oh, yeah, I forgot about her.
07:53Did Bud ever buy that tire for his car?
07:55I doubt it.
07:56He's been too busy all week studying French.
07:59That still seems a mystery to me.
08:02Sudden decision to study French.
08:03Well, the only mystery is that he actually took my advice about branching out and, uh...
08:11Uh, come on, Betty.
08:12If you're coming with me, let's rebel.
08:14Wait, I just started to eat.
08:15Well, hurry up.
08:16I'll, uh, go start the car.
08:17Uh, this Louvois is in love with you?
08:20Oh, you're out of your mind, boy.
08:22Oh, I don't know.
08:23You should see the way she looks at me in class.
08:25And the way she says my name.
08:28James.
08:30And sometimes it's Jacques.
08:33That's French for James.
08:34So what?
08:35That doesn't make her in love with you.
08:37And even if she was, she's too old for you.
08:39No, no, no, she isn't.
08:41I found out she's just a student herself.
08:43Well, a graduate student working for her PhD.
08:46So, uh, maybe she's a few years older than I am.
08:50Besides, French women are ageless.
08:52They may be ageless, but they get awfully old.
08:56She loves me, darling.
08:57What's a few years when it's the real thing?
09:01And this is.
09:02I know it the minute I lay down.
09:05Gee, if I'd have known how wonderful college was,
09:08I would have started years ago.
09:10She loves me.
09:11Watch it, Jacques.
09:12Here comes Joyce.
09:16Hi, Joyce.
09:18Um, are you going to be busy after school today?
09:22Uh, gee, I'm afraid so.
09:25I got an awful lot of homework to do.
09:28Seems like that's all you've been doing lately.
09:30Yeah, I know.
09:32Well, I've got some pretty tough courses.
09:36I better not, uh, figure on seeing you today.
09:39Maybe, uh, next week.
09:43Well, whatever you say.
09:47See you later.
09:49Yeah.
09:50So long, kid.
09:55Kind of giving her the brush, aren't you?
09:58No, not really.
09:59I still like her.
10:01She's a good kid.
10:02She's, uh, just seems so, uh,
10:05so young, so immature.
10:08That's the way I like them.
10:09Well, I gotta get to class.
10:11See you at the cafeteria.
10:13No, no, I can't eat with you today, Dad.
10:15Uh, I found out, uh, what time
10:18and at which table Miss Lebois eats,
10:20and by some odd trick of fate,
10:22that's exactly where I'm going to eat.
10:24I see.
10:26May I say, Jacques, old boy,
10:28you're a bit of a jerk?
10:49Oh, excuse me.
10:51Why, Miss Lebois?
10:53Jacques, my prize student.
10:55Won't you join me?
10:56Uh, if you're sure you don't mind.
10:59Of course not.
11:00It would be a pleasure.
11:01Please do.
11:05Je vous remercie.
11:09Oh, that accent.
11:13Oh, you are nervous.
11:15You have been studying too hard, no?
11:18Well, yes, I have.
11:20Oui.
11:22Well, one must study, yes.
11:25But one should also enjoy college.
11:29I...
11:30I am enjoying it.
11:32In fact,
11:34I've never enjoyed anything
11:36as much as being in your class.
11:38Why, that is the nicest thing
11:40anyone has said to me
11:41since I have started teaching French.
11:42What's going on here?
11:44Ah, Betty, won't you join us?
11:47This is one of my new students, Jacques.
11:49I've met him.
11:49He's my little brother.
11:51So this is your little brother?
11:53You were wondering
11:54why he's been studying
11:54his French so avidly.
11:56Now I understand.
11:57Well, I think
11:58he has been studying too hard.
12:01You should take better care
12:02of your little brother.
12:06Some scram, will you?
12:13Honey, don't we have any...
12:15Oh.
12:16I found it.
12:17Here's a picture.
12:19Wow.
12:21That's a teacher?
12:22What a peculiar hairdo.
12:25Well, I just hope he doesn't
12:26flunk all his other subjects
12:27while he's concentrating
12:28so hard on French.
12:30Well, now perhaps
12:31I'd better go down there
12:33and have a talk with her.
12:35You do.
12:36And don't be surprised
12:36if the sugar on your oatmeal
12:38tastes a little like ground glass.
12:48Clash!
12:49Wait a minute.
12:55Well, I want to talk to you.
12:58Um.
13:01Well, I want you to level
13:02with me about something.
13:04Yeah?
13:04About what?
13:06But.
13:07Does he have another girl?
13:09Girl?
13:12No.
13:12I wouldn't say
13:13he's got another girl.
13:14No.
13:17Something's sure wrong.
13:18Charlie knows I'm alive.
13:20And I can't pin him down
13:22long enough to find out anything.
13:26Well, do you think
13:27he'd come to dinner
13:27at my house
13:28if I invited him?
13:30You'd have to check with them.
13:33I've got to get him
13:34someplace where I can talk to him.
13:37Can't go on like this
13:38any longer.
13:43He has French
13:44this first period,
13:45doesn't he?
13:49Thanks.
13:53Poor kid.
13:54That's the worst place
13:55she could have picked
13:56to find him.
14:02Pardon.
14:03Oh, Miss Levoix,
14:05excuse me,
14:06I was looking for Bud.
14:07For Bud?
14:08James Anderson.
14:10Ah, oui, Jacques.
14:11Well, he's probably here.
14:12He's always the first one.
14:14Such a studious boy.
14:17No,
14:18I do not see him.
14:19Well,
14:20um,
14:21well,
14:22I hate to bother you,
14:23but would you mind
14:24giving him a note for me?
14:25But of course not.
14:31Oh, dear,
14:32I have to run.
14:33Well,
14:33I'll just have to catch him later.
14:34Could I write it for you?
14:37Would you?
14:37Mm-hmm.
14:38Oh,
14:39well,
14:40just say,
14:41dear Bud,
14:42will you please come to dinner
14:43at my house
14:43Friday night?
14:44And sign it,
14:45Jay,
14:45he'll know,
14:45and thank you so very much.
14:50The verb to go
14:52is aller.
14:53Je vais,
14:54tu vas,
14:54il va,
14:55nous allons,
14:56vous allez,
14:57ils vont.
14:58Well,
14:59that's all we have time for today.
15:01Tomorrow,
15:02we continue
15:02with leçon numéro 5.
15:04So,
15:05until demain matin,
15:06au revoir tout le monde.
15:10Hey, buddy,
15:11I'm sorry.
15:16Oh,
15:17Jacques,
15:17this is for you.
15:19For me?
15:24Oui.
15:27You be sure
15:28and answer this.
15:29Never keep a lady waiting.
15:51Dear Bud.
15:54First time
15:56she's called me Bud.
15:58Will you come
15:59to dinner
15:59at my house
16:00Friday night?
16:02Signed,
16:04Jay.
16:06Wow.
16:08Jay.
16:11Jay.
16:18You creature.
16:20Man,
16:21have you flipped
16:22completely?
16:24Come here.
16:25It's happened.
16:26I thought Betty
16:26would ruin my chances
16:27with Miss Lebois,
16:28but she loves me.
16:30Here,
16:30look at this note
16:30she wrote.
16:31Oh,
16:31don't touch it.
16:32Just read it.
16:35Doesn't sound like
16:35much of a love note.
16:37Well,
16:38you should have heard
16:38the tone of voice
16:39she wrote it in.
16:41Dear Bud,
16:43will you come
16:44to dinner?
16:46Well,
16:47anyway,
16:47I'm in,
16:48Dad.
16:49Uh-oh.
16:49Do you know
16:49where she lives?
16:50Are you kidding?
16:51I walk by there
16:52a hundred times a night.
16:54Only trouble is,
16:54Joyce lives practically
16:55right next door
16:56and I'm always afraid
16:56she'll see me.
16:57Oh,
16:57did Joyce find you?
16:58She was going to invite
16:59you to dinner, too.
17:01Yeah?
17:02Well,
17:03it's too late now.
17:05I'll just have to tell
17:06Joyce the truth.
17:07Hey,
17:08why don't you start
17:09going with her?
17:09She's a wonderful kid.
17:10Not a bad idea.
17:12Well,
17:12I've got to go
17:13answer this note.
17:13Never keep a lady waiting.
17:18Dear
17:20Miss Lou
17:22No,
17:25too far.
17:31Dear
17:34Chenette.
17:37Too dull.
17:42How would Marie Chevalier
17:43write it?
17:46Hey,
17:47that's it.
17:47I'll write it in French.
17:49The language of love.
17:54Yeah,
17:55here we are.
18:02Mon chĂšre.
18:07Well,
18:08our time is up again.
18:09Too bad.
18:14Tomorrow,
18:15we will study
18:16leçon numéro six.
18:32what is this?
18:34What is this?
18:36The answer to the note.
18:38Ah,
18:38the answer.
18:39Very good.
18:42Miss Dubois,
18:44I wanted to ask you something
18:45about tomorrow's assignment.
18:46Yes.
18:51Miss Dubois,
18:52did you give Bud my note yesterday?
18:54I haven't heard a word from him.
18:56I not only gave it to him,
18:58but I have already his answer.
19:00Oh,
19:00thank you.
19:01You're so nice to do this thing.
19:03It's in French.
19:06I can't read it.
19:07What does it say?
19:08Well,
19:09we shall see.
19:11Mmm.
19:12Oh,
19:13my.
19:15The grammar,
19:17it is very bad,
19:18but very romantic.
19:21Ma chĂšre,
19:22my dear,
19:23I live suspended
19:25until Friday night.
19:26I will fly to thee on...
19:30on garlic of love.
19:32Garlic?
19:33Oh,
19:34he meant wings.
19:35Garlic is spelled A-I-L.
19:37Wing is spelled A-I-L-E.
19:40On wings of love.
19:42Till Friday night.
19:44Au revoir,
19:44ma chérie.
19:47Sure,
19:48Mushy.
19:49Do you think he's all right?
19:50Oh,
19:51he's fine.
19:52And the Mushy,
19:54don't knock it.
19:56You're lucky to have
19:57such a nice boy.
19:58Don't let anyone
19:59take him away from you.
20:00Oh,
20:00I won't.
20:01And thank you again.
20:19I heard you have a date tonight
20:20and won't tell who it is.
20:23Wow.
20:23Are these for the date?
20:24When did you get so rich?
20:25I'm not. I used the money that dad loaned me to buy the tire from my car.
20:30Such extravagance.
20:31Anybody think you were dating somebody like, uh, Miss Louvois?
20:36Well, maybe I am.
20:38That's preposterous. Come on, tell me, who is your date?
20:40Well, it's true, sis.
20:43Only, don't tell anybody, not even the folks.
20:45Obviously, Jeanette and I have got to keep this quiet for now.
20:48But it's the real thing.
21:04Ha, ha, ha, ha.
21:25Gordon, you are late, you naughty boy.
21:32Oh, what beautiful flowers. Entrez.
21:43Oh, Jacques, I thought I'd recognize you. How are you?
21:55I thought she recognized me.
21:59Why was she put such a dirty trick on me?
22:02That, that old woman.
22:16This is all I need.
22:19Oh, black tire.
22:22You poor boy.
22:23Oh, hi, Joyce.
22:24I wondered why you were so late, so I thought I'd come out and see if I could see you
22:27coming.
22:28Then I couldn't figure out why you'd park here in front of Miss Louvois' place.
22:32Yeah, it was a pretty dumb thing to do, all right.
22:35Need some help?
22:35No, I can do it.
22:37Uh, what'd you mean, uh, wondered why I was late?
22:39Oh, well, it doesn't really matter, Mother.
22:42Just didn't know whether to put the steaks on or not.
22:46Steaks?
22:46Yeah, we're having everything you like best because,
22:49well, it just had to be an extra special dinner after that.
22:53Lovely note you sent me.
22:56Note?
22:58Of course, I couldn't read the French.
23:00Miss Louvois translated it for me.
23:02Miss Louvois translated it?
23:05Yeah, she certainly is nice, isn't she?
23:07Taking all the trouble to give you my message and all.
23:12Giving me your message?
23:15Oh.
23:19What's the matter, budge?
23:20You act like you don't know what I'm talking about.
23:24Oh, I, I have moments when I'm not too smart, Joyce.
23:29Boy.
23:33Here, let me do that.
23:34That's, that's man's work.
23:36Oh.
23:45You know, bud, until you sent me that lovely note, well,
23:52I was afraid you didn't like me anymore.
23:55I, I, I, well, look, here, I've got something that will show you.
23:58Just how I feel about you.
24:02But they're beautiful.
24:04Oh, but you shouldn't have.
24:07So pretty.
24:15How do you say flowers in French?
24:21French? No, no, you're asking the wrong boy.
24:24I'm dropping that class.
24:25I'm switching back to chem, trigonometry.
24:28Yeah, I've decided I'd make a better American engineer
24:31than a French lover.
24:35For you.
24:39You look so nice.
24:42And, uh, and young.
25:08Huh.

25:12Oh, yeah.
