00:13:08Say, I saw him just a minute ago
00:13:09with a dizzy blonde.
00:13:11Sure, he changes his women
00:13:12often than does his shirts.
00:13:15Say, baby.
00:13:17I've got a great idea.
00:13:19How about you and I sit in this one out?
00:13:21Okay.

00:13:24Oh, my God.
00:13:27Oh, my God.
00:13:27Oh, my God.
00:13:40Oh, my God.
00:13:41Isn't that pretty, GymØŸ
00:13:42Yes, smell.
00:13:43You know, that's the first cup I ever won.
00:13:46It won't be the last.
00:13:47I don't know whether you know it or not,
00:13:49but I've signed you up as my partner.
00:13:51Oh, put your kidding.
00:13:53I ain't kidding. I mean it.
00:13:55Well, supposing I wanna dance
00:13:56Somebody else yeah, just try it. Just try it and see what happens
00:14:01Hey, you're about the niftiest little trick I ever saw and I guess I'm about the best hope for you
00:14:06ever dance with
00:14:07So that makes it perfect you're not conceited or anything. Are you yeah, but I got plenty of reason to
00:14:13be
00:14:15Say when I find that egg, I'll break his neck swiping my girl
00:14:20Say I'll bet you thought I was pretty fresh. Yes, I did you still think so
00:14:25Well, not quite just fresh enough. That's the girl. And as the poets say, where have you been all my
00:14:31life?
00:14:32Maybe I've been waiting for you to show up. Gee, you're a swell kid
00:14:37Say are you thirsty? Well, I wouldn't mind having a coke
00:14:41Waiter two cokes and make it snappy
00:14:44Gee in this cane you like to dance. Oh, I love it. You know, I'd rather dance than eat
00:14:49I guess it's my blood though because I had an uncle once who died dancing at the end of her
00:14:54rope
00:14:55Ha ha ha ha
00:14:58Yeah
00:15:01Keep the change
00:15:04Here's to you
00:15:11But mother doesn't seem to understand I guess it's because my older sisters keep nagging her about
00:15:18Sometimes I feel I can't stand it any longer
00:15:21Yeah, I know how it is. I guess you and I are in the same boat. Yeah
00:15:26My old man doesn't think I'm grown up yet. He keeps nagging me about going out nights and about my
00:15:31dancing
00:15:31Wants me to stay home
00:15:33Hadn't meant for mother. I'd have walked out long ago. He gives me a pain
00:15:36He started nagging me tonight and I got sore and I told him I was old enough to be my
00:15:41own boss. What do you think he said?
00:15:43He laughed at me and said I wouldn't be my own boss until I had a wife and a home
00:15:47of my own
00:15:48You know how it is. Yeah, I know
00:15:51I guess you were right about our being in the same boat
00:16:08Listen that's the same piece remember? Yeah, that's our song
00:16:18It's me, sweetheart, it's me, that's what the kiss waltz is saying.
00:16:29Bring your lips close to mind while we're swaying.
00:16:36Oh, my dear, can't you hear what they're saying?
00:16:41This waltz is a kiss waltz too, telling us folks what to do.
00:16:54So kiss me, sweetheart, kiss me, while I dance the kiss waltz with you.
00:17:12Kiss me, sweetheart, or kiss me, that's what the kiss waltz is saying.
00:17:24Bring your lips close to mind while we're swaying.
00:17:29Oh, my dear, can't you hear what they're playing?
00:17:38This waltz is a kiss waltz, telling us both what to do.
00:17:50So kiss me, sweetheart, kiss me, while I dance the kiss waltz with you.
00:18:06Gee, Molly, you know, you're still a swell dancer.
00:18:20Hello, folks, you're listening to the voice of Jerry Brown, the little manager of Huffman's Parisian Dance Palace.
00:18:26In a very few moments, you're going to have the privilege of listening in to a free public wedding.
00:18:32Just another good man gone wrong.
00:18:35Well, all of them.
00:18:37Evening, Huffman.
00:18:38You're just in time.
00:18:39Good.
00:18:40Let's go.
00:18:41Won't be long now, and I'll have you meet the happy bridal couple.
00:18:47What?
00:18:47My dear, what's the matter?
00:18:49There's plenty to matter.
00:18:50Well, tell me about it.
00:18:51Well, you know that bloke I was going to marry?
00:18:54Yes.
00:18:54You know what he does?
00:18:55What he does?
00:18:56No, what does he do?
00:18:57He's an undertaker.
00:18:59An undertaker?
00:19:00Well, what's wrong with that?
00:19:02Say, this body ain't ready for embalming yet.
00:19:08She's right.
00:19:09Yes, I know she's right, but what am I going to do?
00:19:12Here's a full house and no wedding.
00:19:14You get him.
00:19:15I marry him.
00:19:21Now, there, there, my boy.
00:19:23Don't cry.
00:19:24We'll find you another one.
00:19:25I don't want another one.
00:19:27Now, don't be a schlameel.
00:19:29We'll find you a better one.
00:19:31There aren't any better ones.
00:19:36Now, what am I going to do?
00:19:38Hey, me.
00:19:39Well, do you mind waiting until you marry somebody?
00:19:44Jerry.
00:19:45What is it, Mr. Hoffman?
00:19:47What are we going to do about this?
00:19:48What are we going to do about what?
00:19:49The bride and groom have left us flat.
00:19:51Wait now, I got to think.
00:19:53Think nothing.
00:19:54You find a fresh bride and groom or you're fired.
00:19:57Fired?
00:19:58Yes.
00:19:58All right, Mr. Hoffman.
00:20:00Don't worry.
00:20:00There'll be a wedding tonight if I have to marry you.
00:20:05Say, are you two married?
00:20:08No.
00:20:08Well, here's your big chance.
00:20:10What chance?
00:20:11A swell apartment.
00:20:12Beautiful furniture.
00:20:13You walk right in and you make yourselves at home.
00:20:15Come on, now.
00:20:16What do you say?
00:20:17Well, what about the other couple?
00:20:18Well, the bride found out that the groom was an undertaking and she left us in the hole.
00:20:22Oh.
00:20:23Come on, now.
00:20:24Please help me out, will you?
00:20:26Well, I'm willing.
00:20:27Get out of here before I sock you one.
00:20:29Hey, who said anything about marriage?
00:20:31You can't hook me.
00:20:33Oh, is that so?
00:20:34Yes, that's so.
00:20:34Well, what a swell guy you turned out to be.
00:20:36Well, you're no pig.
00:20:37Nope.
00:20:38Hey, wait here.
00:20:41The perfect picture of happiness.
00:20:44Hello, Jerry.
00:20:45What a romance.
00:20:47Gee, I'm glad I found you two.
00:20:49It was through me you two first met.
00:20:51And boy, what a favor you did me.
00:20:53Yeah, and I'm gonna do you a much bigger one this time.
00:20:55What is it?
00:20:56This is gonna be a real favor.
00:20:58Yeah, well, tell me, boy.
00:20:59The suspense is killing me.
00:21:00You know, I've been watching you two kids,
00:21:02and you certainly make a swell-looking couple.
00:21:05You two should get married.
00:21:08Say, are you kidding us?
00:21:09Kidding you?
00:21:10I was never more on a level in my life.
00:21:12But we only just met.
00:21:13Well, what of it, Molly?
00:21:14Don't you like Bill?
00:21:16Well, yes, of course.
00:21:16And Bill, don't you like Molly?
00:21:19Oh, you're crazy about her.
00:21:20I can see it in your baby blue eyes.
00:21:23Well, of course I'm crazy about her, Jerry.
00:21:24I liked her from the middle.
00:21:25That's it.
00:21:25That's it, Bill.
00:21:26Love at first sight.
00:21:27I tell you, you're crazy if you pass this chance up.
00:21:30Oh, but we can't do it.
00:21:31We're strangers.
00:21:32Almost.
00:21:34Oh, go peddle your papers.
00:21:36All right, Bill.
00:21:37But I want to tell you, you're passing up a swell chance
00:21:40to have a nice little home.
00:21:42You'll be sorry.
00:21:47Gee, it would be swell if we could get married
00:21:49and have a nice little home of our own, nobody to nag us.
00:21:55Say, why can't we do it?
00:21:57You mean?
00:21:57Yes, sir.
00:21:58Right now, tonight.
00:21:59I'm game if you'll have me.
00:22:01You really made it?
00:22:04Hey, Jerry.
00:22:07What is it?
00:22:08We'll do it.
00:22:13We'll do it.
00:22:15Folks, folks, listen.
00:22:16Everybody, come on.
00:22:17Gather around.
00:22:18Quick, hurry up.
00:22:19Good news, folks.
00:22:20Listen.
00:22:21Listen to me, folks.
00:22:22Just a minute.
00:22:23Just a minute.
00:22:24Even though our first bridal couple fell down on us,
00:22:27it's with great pleasure that I announce Miss Molly O'Neil
00:22:30and Mr. Bill Cleaver, who won tonight's contest,
00:22:34have decided to dance through life together.
00:22:40All right, now.
00:22:41Wait, wait.
00:22:41Wait.
00:22:42Hold it.
00:22:42Hold it.
00:22:43Alderman.
00:22:44Mr. Hoffman, hurry.
00:22:45Come on.
00:22:45Alderman, this is Miss Molly O'Neil.
00:22:47This is Mr. Bill Cleaver.
00:22:48They're going to be married.
00:22:49All right.
00:22:50Hold hands.
00:22:51Now, uh, just hold hands.
00:23:20Wait a minute.
00:23:21Wait a minute.
00:23:25I'd rather take a beating than break the news to your mother.
00:23:28Well, we have to get it over with sometime.
00:23:30Well, you know where to send Cleaver's body if anything happens.
00:23:46I guess Mother's asleep.
00:23:48Well, why don't you wait until the morning?
00:23:49People are always in a bad humor when you wake them up.
00:23:52Well, we might as well get it over with.
00:23:57Well, I thought I told you to be home before 11 o'clock.
00:23:59But Mother.
00:24:00What's that you brought with you?
00:24:02Well, that's a cup.
00:24:02We weren't dancing.
00:24:03I mean, what's that holding it?
00:24:05Oh, Mother, this is Mr. Cleaver.
00:24:07How do you do, Mrs. O'Neil?
00:24:08How do you do, sir?
00:24:09Come on, Molly.
00:24:10Let's get to bed.
00:24:11Good night, sir.
00:24:11Oh, but Mother, there's something I wanted to tell you.
00:24:15Have you done anything you hadn't ought to?
00:24:17Oh, no, Mother.
00:24:18Everything's all right.
00:24:19At least I hope it is.
00:24:20Well, is he mixed up in it?
00:24:21Oh, yes, in a way.
00:24:23You see, I met him in a dance, and I kind of liked him.
00:24:25In fact, I liked him a lot.
00:24:27And we danced in the contest and won this cup.
00:24:29What's so important about that tin cup?
00:24:31Oh, it isn't the cup, Mother.
00:24:33You see, after the contest, we went out on the balcony,
00:24:35and the lights were so low, and the music was so pretty,
00:24:38and Bill was so sweetened.
00:24:40Young man, have you done anything to my daughter?
00:24:42Oh, no, I haven't done anything to your daughter, Miss O'Neil.
00:24:45Then what is it all about?
00:24:46We got married.
00:24:48You got what?
00:24:49We got married, Mother.
00:24:50Well, who is he?
00:24:51William Cleaver.
00:24:52Well, what does he do?
00:24:54Well, I don't know.
00:24:55You don't know?
00:24:57Then what do you do, young man?
00:24:58I work in a drugstore.
00:25:00Oh, you're a druggist?
00:25:01No, I'm a soda dispenser.
00:25:03Oh, you're a soda squirter.
00:25:05No, I'm not a squirter.
00:25:06I'm a dispenser.
00:25:09Ma, what's the trouble?
00:25:11Why, Molly's just off and got married.
00:25:13I always knew something terrible would happen to her.
00:25:16Married to that?
00:25:17That's it.
00:25:18Now, listen, I'm sick and tired of you two wisecracking.
00:25:21I married him, and I'm going to stick by him.
00:25:23I love him, and it's my own business.
00:25:25But you don't even know the man.
00:25:26I couldn't love him more if I'd known him a million years.
00:25:29Now I'm going to pack my clothes and get out.
00:25:31Oh, but, Molly.
00:25:32You won't be long, will you, Molly?
00:25:34Oh, I know it's a shock to you, Mother.
00:25:37You don't know how terrible it is until you become a mother yourself.
00:25:40Well, I guess I'll never know then.
00:25:42And, Mother, I'll make Molly happy, and I know you'll learn to like me.
00:25:46Oh, I've heard the likes of you talk before.
00:25:48Here, Bill.
00:25:50Goodbye, Emma.
00:25:51Goodbye, Molly.
00:25:52Goodbye, Nellie.
00:25:52Goodbye.
00:25:53Goodbye, Mother.
00:25:55I'd be so lonesome without you, Molly.
00:25:57Oh, I know you'll get along all right.
00:25:59Yes, it'll be terribly lonesome.
00:26:01But I'll be seeing you every day.
00:26:03Yes, but I won't be seeing your $10 every week.
00:26:05Well, come on.
00:26:06We've got to see my folks, too.
00:26:08Goodbye.
00:26:09Oh, goodbye.
00:26:26Look here.
00:26:27I thought I told you to be home by 11 o'clock.
00:26:29I know you did, but I was delayed tonight.
00:26:31Now, you know what I told you.
00:26:33What?
00:26:34As long as you live in this house, you've got to do what I say.
00:26:37Don't, Pa.
00:26:38Don't be so hard on him.
00:26:39All he thinks about is dancing, dancing, dancing.
00:26:41Bringing home a lot of those tin cups.
00:26:43I wouldn't give you $0.10 a dozen for those things.
00:26:46He's young, Pa.
00:26:47He'll outgrow all that.
00:26:48Yeah?
00:26:48Well, as long as he lives here, he's got to do what I say.
00:26:51Well, now, listen to me.
00:26:52I'm going to say something important.
00:26:54I'm moving out.
00:26:55Don't, William.
00:26:56I'm serious, Ma.
00:26:57Got a home I'm own.
00:26:58Ha, ha.
00:26:59Yeah.
00:26:59And I suppose you've got a wife to put into it.
00:27:02Ha, ha.
00:27:02Yeah, that's just what I have got.
00:27:05Who is it, son?
00:27:06When did it happen?
00:27:07Where is she now?
00:27:08She's right here.
00:27:11Come on in, honey.
00:27:13You think I should?
00:27:14Sure.
00:27:14Everything is okay.
00:27:19Mother and father, I want you to meet my wife.
00:27:21I think she's a dear.
00:27:23Ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:27:25Say, what's up, Bunny?
00:27:27Now you're your own boss.
00:27:29Yes, I'm my own boss, and you can't order me around anymore.
00:27:32Ha, ha, yeah.
00:27:33Now you can do just as you please.
00:27:35You can go out every night, stay out just as long as you please.
00:27:39Ha, ha.
00:27:40Gee, this is rich.
00:27:42Say, what's the idea?
00:27:43Ha, you'll soon find out.
00:27:46Uh, mother, I'm going to get some clothes.
00:27:48You take care of Molly.
00:27:49All right, son.
00:27:51Pa, I think she's a dear.
00:27:53Yeah, well, all I can say is, she has my sympathy.
00:27:58Now don't you pay any attention to what Pa says.
00:28:11Now here are some pictures of him.
00:28:14There he is when he was five.
00:28:16Isn't that cute?
00:28:19And there he is when he was just three.
00:28:22Oh, he was sweet.
00:28:24And that one is when he was just one.
00:28:30He always has been good looking, hasn't he?
00:28:50Let's go, Molly.
00:28:51Goodbye, Mrs. Quaver.
00:28:53Goodbye, dear.
00:28:55Thanks, mother.
00:28:55You were sweet.
00:28:57Got everything you need?
00:28:58Yes, I got everything you need.
00:29:00I'll come back for the rest.
00:29:01Oh, no, you haven't.
00:29:03But I forget.
00:29:05This.
00:29:06You can't get along without that.
00:29:09Oh, shut up, will you?
00:29:11Going to be your own boss, eh?
00:29:13Yes, I'm going to be my own boss, and I'm darn glad I am, too.
00:29:17I bring my wife here to introduce her to you,
00:29:19and all I get is a bunch of silly wisecracks and a cheap gag.
00:29:22I married Molly because I love her, and I'm going to make her a good husband.
00:29:26And I'm going to show you that I can lead my life,
00:29:28same as you lead yours, only a darn sight better.
00:29:31Yeah?
00:29:32Well, don't forget that the first hundred years are the hardest.
00:29:35Ah, come on, Molly.
00:30:02Oh, isn't it wonderful?
00:30:04Say, there's a pretty swell dump.
00:30:12This is our home.
00:30:13We're going to be awfully happy, aren't we?
00:30:15You said it, baby.
00:30:19Look at that picture.
00:30:22Oh, what a darling baby.
00:30:25Ah, babies all look alike to me, though.
00:30:29Oh, boy, what a swell spot for cleaver's cuffs.
00:30:35Come here, Bill.
00:30:37You know something?
00:30:38What?
00:30:39This is you, and this is me.
00:30:42Yeah.
00:30:52That's a swell idea.
00:30:54Boy, my old man can't boss me around anymore.
00:30:56No, sir.
00:30:59Say, I wonder what he was laughing about.
00:31:02Well, you're not sorry, are you, Bill?
00:31:04Oh, honey.
00:31:05Sorry I'm the happiest guy in 18 states.
00:31:08I'm the happiest guy.
00:31:09Are you, baby?
00:31:10Gee, you're a swell kid.
00:31:16You know something, honey?
00:31:18Before long, you and me is going to have this whole joint filled with cuffs.
00:31:39Hey, baby.
00:31:40That dance is tonight, you know.
00:31:42Just a second, darling.
00:31:43Okay.
00:31:49Oh, my baby, don't you look sweet, honey?
00:31:51You like it?
00:31:52You said it.
00:31:53Let's go.
00:32:01Mother!
00:32:02Molly!
00:32:03Hello, Emma.
00:32:04Hello, Molly.
00:32:05Hello, Ellen.
00:32:05Glad to see you.
00:32:07How are you?
00:32:08Very well, thank you.
00:32:10Come right in and close the door, Garris.
00:32:12Oh, Mother Dew, you must be tired.
00:32:15Come and sit down.
00:32:16Sure, and I am tired.
00:32:17I'll be glad I am to sit down.
00:32:22What a lovely little apartment.
00:32:24Oh, I'm so glad you like it, Mother.
00:32:27Yes, but it's going to be awfully hard now that you're gone.
00:32:30We'll have to move into a cheaper place.
00:32:32Oh, you'll get along all right.
00:32:34Well, I hope so, but it's going to be awfully hard.
00:32:37Hey, Ma, look at these silly old cuffs here on the mantel.
00:32:41Molly, you're not going to keep them things on the mantel, are you?
00:32:44Why, those are Bill's cuffs.
00:32:45I think they look great there.
00:32:47Oh, well, it's your house.
00:32:50Oh, dear, I've been on the go all day long, and I'm so tired.
00:32:53Oh, I'll bet you are.
00:32:55I'm stabbed.
00:32:56I'm banished.
00:32:58Can't I fix you something to eat?
00:33:00Oh, would you mind giving me a cup of tea or a sandwich or something?
00:33:03It won't be any too much trouble, will it?
00:33:05No trouble at all.
00:33:06Did I hear something about tea and sandwiches?
00:33:08Molly, let me help you.
00:33:10I'm simply famished.
00:33:11Sure, come on out and keep me company.
00:33:21Nice evening, isn't it?
00:33:23Oh, I've seen better.
00:33:26Did the radio come of the apartment?
00:33:28No, my folks gave us that.
00:33:31Can you hear through a little thing like that?
00:33:34Say, can you hear through it?
00:33:35If I turn it on loud enough, it's liable to run you out of the room.
00:33:38Ha!
00:33:38It'll never run me out of this room, little man.
00:33:40Good, man.
00:33:47Jeff Hoffman's Parisian Dance Palace, friends.
00:33:50It gives me great pleasure to announce
00:33:52that Mr. Needles Thompson and Ms. Jasbo Ganz
00:33:55have just won the $25 merchandise certificate
00:33:59in tonight's waltzing contest.
00:34:22These cups look a lot better with my name on them.
00:34:25You bet they would.
00:34:26No competition.
00:34:26You can't miss tonight, Needle.
00:34:27Oh, you bet I'm going to win.
00:34:29It's a cinch.
00:34:30What do you mean?
00:34:30You're going to win.
00:34:31Don't I figure?
00:34:33Sure.
00:34:33You figure simply because you're dancing with Needle Thompson.
00:34:37That's right.
00:34:40You're the kind of a guy that gets in the bathtub and sings, hail, hail, the gang's all here.
00:34:46Pretty smart, huh?
00:34:47Well, I'll get myself a new partner.
00:34:54Well, well, look who's here.
00:34:57Now, where have you two been for the past month?
00:34:59Visiting relatives, mostly.
00:35:01Uh-huh.
00:35:01Fixing up our apartment, really.
00:35:03But we're all set to step now, baby.
00:35:05Good.
00:35:05Hey, everybody.
00:35:06Look.
00:35:06Look who's here.
00:35:07Mr. and Mrs. Rip Van Winkle after 20 years.
00:35:13Let's all give the little bride and groom a great big hand.
00:35:16Come on.
00:35:17There we go.
00:35:17Ah, put that on ice.
00:35:19Put it on ice.
00:35:20There you are.
00:35:21Well, now, you two kids, make yourself right at home.
00:35:29Check these, will you, honey?
00:35:35Hiya, Joe.
00:35:37Phil.
00:35:37Well, shut my mouth and shut it tight.
00:35:40And where have you been?
00:35:41Traveling, my boy.
00:35:42Traveling.
00:35:42And how's married life?
00:35:44Okay, boy.
00:35:44Okay.
00:35:45Meet the wife.
00:35:46Meet the wife.
00:35:47Molly.
00:35:48Glad to see you.
00:35:49Oh, I'm glad to see you, too, Onion.
00:35:52All right, folks.
00:35:53All right.
00:35:53The next dance is going to be a contest dance for these beautiful silver loving cups.
00:35:57Get together with your partners.
00:35:59All right, boys.
00:36:00Hit it.
00:36:00Let it go.
00:36:17How are we.
00:36:18How are we?
00:36:22How are we?
00:36:24How are we?
00:36:31How are we?
00:36:35How are we?
00:36:43Get together with your friends.
00:37:24Oh, boy, what kind of a new dance is that?
00:37:27Why, that's a hollabaloo.
00:37:28Hot stuff, ain't it?
00:37:29You said it.
00:37:30Ah, but that's a cinch.
00:37:32Come on, honey, let's show them.
00:37:40Oh, honey, won't you try?
00:37:41Give a guy a chance.
00:37:42Oh, I'm sorry, Billy.
00:37:49Honey, wait a minute, will you?
00:37:50Let me show you now.
00:38:03Oh, Bill, you know I never could dance up.
00:38:05Oh, honey, lift the leg.
00:38:07I don't want to be the laughingstock.
00:38:09But, Bill, I waltz bad.
00:38:10Oh, honey, this is a little bit fast for a waltz.
00:38:12I know, dear, but I can't do this kind of dancing.
00:38:14Oh, gee, honey, smile.
00:38:16Here comes Jazz Bowl.
00:38:18Gee, big boy, it's good to see you again.
00:38:21Great to be back, kid.
00:38:22Oh, you don't mind my talking to Bill, do you?
00:38:24We're such old friends.
00:38:27Bill's still young.
00:38:29Oh, Bill, did you see the cup they're giving away tonight?
00:38:32It's swell.
00:38:33Yeah, I'll say.
00:38:35Looks as if Needles is going to walk away with it.
00:38:37That's a shame.
00:38:38I'll say it is.
00:38:39I suppose that guy's been walking away with all the cups.
00:38:42Yeah, and he's getting round-shouldered and patting himself on the back.
00:38:45I wish you and me could take him down to Pegasoo.
00:38:48Gee, that'd be great.
00:38:49Well, why don't you?
00:38:50Oh, Molly, do you mean that, honey?
00:38:52You know I'd dance with you in a minute, but...
00:38:54Well, that's all right.
00:38:55You and Jazz Bowl dance together and enjoy yourself.
00:38:58Oh, but, Molly, now, honey, you don't understand...
00:39:00It's all right with me.
00:39:00Don't mind me.
00:39:02Go right ahead.
00:39:03Oh, honey, don't get sore.
00:39:04Gee, I'd dance with you in a minute, only I don't want to beat Needles.
00:39:07I said it was all right, didn't I?
00:39:10Molly.
00:39:12Come on.
00:39:13Oh, wait a minute.
00:39:22Oh, big boy, you're breaking my heart.
00:39:25Say, listen.
00:39:26I'm going to settle this thing once and for all.
00:39:52Now, listen, Molly, why can't you be reasonable?
00:39:53Reasonable?
00:39:54That's what I said.
00:39:54If you think you can make a monkey out of me and then walk out of me, you're crazy.
00:39:57You didn't have to follow me.
00:39:58I didn't ask you to.
00:39:59I'm fed up with this thing.
00:40:00You've got no right to be jealous of Jazz Bowl.
00:40:02Jealous of Jazz Bowl?
00:40:03Don't make me laugh.
00:40:04Well, that's what you are.
00:40:05Jealous of that little snip.
00:40:07And you know she's just a good friend.
00:40:08Well, if you want her, you can have her and that whole cheap dance hall gang besides.
00:40:12I don't want any part of them.
00:40:14I'm through with them.
00:40:15All they think of is dancing and jazz and a lot of silly cups like those.
00:40:19Here, I've been trying to make a home for you.
00:40:21And you haven't sense enough to know it.
00:40:22Oh, is that so?
00:40:23Well, now let me tell you something.
00:40:24If it's your idea of making a home for me by having a lot of yapping relatives around,
00:40:27your relatives, you're crazy.
00:40:28And if you think you can make an old man out of me, you're crazy.
00:40:31I'm still young and I'm going to have a good time.
00:40:33I didn't bellyache about staying in this last month.
00:40:35And then the very first time we go out, well, you make a fool out of me.
00:40:39Now I know why my old man laughed.
00:40:41Well, why don't you say something?
00:40:42Don't stand there like a dummy.
00:40:44Say something, will you?
00:40:46Come in.
00:40:49I wonder if I can use your phone.
00:40:51Sure, go ahead.
00:40:54Hello, operator.
00:40:55Give me York, 0479.
00:40:58Gee, I hope I'm not butting in.
00:40:59How is Mrs. Evans?
00:41:01Just awful.
00:41:01A doctor was supposed to be here long ago.
00:41:04Oh, hello.
00:41:04Is Dr. Baxter there?
00:41:05This is Tommy Evans speaking.
00:41:07Oh, he has.
00:41:09Thanks.
00:41:11The doctor's on his way now.
00:41:13Thanks a lot.
00:41:14Oh, I hope everything will be all right.
00:41:16Let me know if I can do something, won't you?
00:41:18I will, Mrs. Cleaver.
00:41:20Thanks.
00:41:27People like that are fools to have kids.
00:41:29You think we'd be fools?
00:41:31Yes, I do.
00:41:32You do, do you?
00:41:33Yes.
00:41:44Molly.
00:41:50Molly.
00:41:51Molly.
00:41:54Oh, let me talk to you, honey.
00:42:12Flop, honey.
00:42:14Hello, cheerful.
00:42:15A happy bridegroom.
00:42:17What are you looking for?
00:42:18The ball and chain on the foot.
00:42:20Yeah, well, if I had it on there, I'd wrap it around your silly neck.
00:42:23Tut, tut, tut.
00:42:24No impertinence, pal.
00:42:25What do you have, honey?
00:42:26Cherry coat.
00:42:27Squirt a little dash of lemon in mine and make it snappy.
00:42:31He used to be a dancer.
00:42:32Now he's a squirter.
00:42:35One lemon.
00:42:36One cherry.
00:42:40What's the matter?
00:42:41A six-button vest.
00:42:43Obsolete, pal.
00:42:44Obsolete.
00:42:45Oh, yeah.
00:42:45Lay off on me or I'll bust you in the nose.
00:42:48Well, here's the Mr. Housewife Cleaver.
00:42:51Well, I bet it looks great at home massaging those dishes.
00:42:54Scram, boy.
00:42:55Scram.
00:42:56The flies in here are terrible.
00:42:58Yeah, well, they followed you in.
00:43:02It's a fresh guy here.
00:43:05Hello, Needle.
00:43:07I haven't seen you since.
00:43:09Oh, howdy, howdy.
00:43:10Who is that, Dane?
00:43:11Oh, some flatfoot I used to know, honey.
00:43:17Here, boy.
00:43:18All paid for.
00:43:20Come on, Pansy.
00:43:21A couple of plugged nickels.
00:43:26Hello, Bill.
00:43:28Hello, Jezbo.
00:43:29That guy's poison to me.
00:43:31Yeah, and he doesn't do my stomach any good either.
00:43:33Gee, I'd love to take him down a peg or two.
00:43:36He's got such a swelled head, he has to put his hat on with a shoehorn.
00:43:39Boy, how good would it be to put that guy in his place?
00:43:43I know how you can do it.
00:43:44How?
00:43:45Well, ever since you got married, he's been winning all the cups.
00:43:48Yeah, I know.
00:43:49Here's the gag.
00:43:51Hoffman's giving away a big gold cup tonight, and he's got his heart set on it.
00:43:55Well, if you and me step in and cop it, he'll have canaries.
00:43:58Gee, that'd be great.
00:44:02Oh, but I can't do that.
00:44:03Oh, tell the wife you have to go to Lodge or something.
00:44:06I have it.
00:44:07I'll have one of the boys phone you about 8 o'clock and say that your father's sick.
00:44:11See?
00:44:12How about it?
00:44:14I don't like to do that jazz, Bo.
00:44:16Oh, come on.
00:44:17There's no harm in it.
00:44:20All right, I'll do it.
00:44:21Okay.
00:44:22That phone will ring at 8 o'clock and how?
00:44:24You said it, baby.
00:44:25I'll have on my dancing shoe.
00:44:27Picks up a drink on the house.
00:44:49What's the matter, honey?
00:44:50Why, nothing.
00:44:52You seem so nervous.
00:44:54Something go wrong at the store?
00:44:55Oh, of course not.
00:44:57Oh, something must be wrong.
00:44:59Was it about last night?
00:45:01Last night?
00:45:02Oh, no.
00:45:04Oh, honey, we shouldn't argue that way.
00:45:07Just makes us both miserable, doesn't it?
00:45:10You still love me?
00:45:12Sure I do.
00:45:12You wouldn't fib to me, would you?
00:45:15Why, no.
00:45:17Silly how things happen.
00:45:18It was all my fault, too.
00:45:20You know, I've been thinking things over.
00:45:23And I've decided a few things.
00:45:25I don't think a man should give up all his friends just because he's married.
00:45:30Oh, I think you should step out once in a while, Billy.
00:45:33I want you to be happy, honey.
00:45:36If ever you should decide to go out, you just tell me.
00:45:40I know I can trust you.
00:45:42Oh, gee, Molly, you're regular.
00:45:44You make me feel like a heel.
00:45:47Molly, there's something I want to tell you.
00:45:51I'll answer.
00:45:51No, don't.
00:45:52Let me.
00:45:52It's probably the store.
00:45:53Oh, you stay there.
00:45:54I'll get it.
00:45:57Hello.
00:45:58Yes.
00:45:59Yes.
00:46:01What?
00:46:02Pa Cleaver.
00:46:04Yes, I'll tell him.
00:46:06He'll be right over.
00:46:07All right.
00:46:09Oh, Bill, something's happened.
00:46:11Your father wants to see you right away.
00:46:13Well, I don't want to go over.
00:46:14But you've got to go, Bill.
00:46:16Oh, it's some silly notion of the old man's.
00:46:18He wouldn't want you, honey, unless it were important.
00:46:20It might be his lumbago again.
00:46:22Shall I go with you?
00:46:23Oh, no.
00:46:24We'd be too long in getting away.
00:46:25I'll hurry right over and see if I can't come right back.
00:46:28All right.
00:46:28I'll get your hat and coat.
00:46:34Here, honey.
00:46:36Phone me a bit serious, won't you?
00:46:38Sure.
00:46:58Who is it?
00:46:59Mrs. Tracy.
00:47:00Oh, come in, Mrs. Tracy.
00:47:02Oh, come in, Mrs. Tracy.
00:47:04I'll go out after Pig's Knuckles.
00:47:06We thought we'd drop in for a minute.
00:47:08Oh, that's great of you.
00:47:09Won't you sit down?
00:47:10Hello, Oswald.
00:47:11Hello.
00:47:18What are you doing, child?
00:47:20Oh, I'm changing Bill's six-button vest into a five-button one.
00:47:24Mercy.
00:47:25How clever you are.
00:47:28Oswald.
00:47:29What?
00:47:30You keep out of mischief.
00:47:32Oh, Mom, let's go down and get the Pig's Knuckles.
00:47:35I'm so worried about Oswald's ears.
00:47:39They're just like his father's.
00:47:42Oh, they say large ears are a sign of character.
00:47:45And where's Billy tonight?
00:47:47Oh, Billy's father's ill.
00:47:49He called him up, and I think he has lumbago.
00:47:52Lumbago?
00:47:53How terrible.
00:47:54I had an uncle once who died of lumbago.
00:47:58But then he had heart trouble, too.
00:48:01You're listening to the voice of Jerry Brown,
00:48:04the little manager of Hoffman's Parisian Dance Palace.
00:48:07All right, folks, stand by,
00:48:09and we'll give you the names of the winners.
00:48:11Hey!
00:48:14Hey!
00:48:15Yes, sir, tonight's contest was won by Mr. Bill Cleaver,
00:48:19dancing with that lovely blonde Miss Jasbo Gans.
00:48:22I have just presented Mr. Cleaver
00:48:24with a beautiful gold loving cup.
00:48:27Hey!
00:48:29Hey!
00:48:29Hey!
00:48:30Hey!
00:48:31Hey!
00:48:31Well, I thought you told me that...
00:48:33Oh, yes, I forgot.
00:48:35Bill told me he was going to stop in at the Dance Palace
00:48:38on his way home.
00:48:39Well, I'm so glad that he won that cup.
00:48:42Yes, so am I.
00:48:43Oswald, come along.
00:48:46Well, good night, Mommy.
00:48:47Good night.
00:48:48Good night.
00:48:49Good night.
00:48:50Good night.
00:48:51Good night.
00:48:54Good night.
00:48:55Good night.
00:48:57Good night.
00:48:58Good night.
00:49:00Good night.
00:49:02Good night.
00:49:03Good night.
00:49:39Hello, honey.
00:49:40Hello.
00:49:41See, I bet you thought I never was coming back.
00:49:44How's your father?
00:49:45Oh, he's fine.
00:49:46Just a little touch of the lumbago.
00:49:48Very bad?
00:49:49Oh, no.
00:49:49He's all right now.
00:49:50Nothing to worry about.
00:49:51That's good.
00:49:52Yeah, you see, Ma gets worried and wants me around.
00:49:55She gets the brown paper, and I do the ironing.
00:49:57Ironing?
00:49:58Yeah.
00:49:58You see, she puts a piece of brown paper on his back,
00:50:02and I run a hot iron over it.
00:50:04That's the only way he gets any relief.
00:50:05Oh, Bill, why are you lying to me?
00:50:08Lying to you?
00:50:08What are you driving at?
00:50:09You know very well what I'm driving at.
00:50:11You never even went near your father's tonight.
00:50:13Oh, who said I didn't?
00:50:14I say you didn't.
00:50:15You were at that dance palace.
00:50:17At the dance palace?
00:50:18Oh, don't stall.
00:50:19I heard it over the radio.
00:50:20You won a cup with that jazz ball dance.
00:50:23Well, I wouldn't mind that so much as you're lying,
00:50:26sneaking away.
00:50:26Oh, now, wait a minute.
00:50:27Wait a minute.
00:50:27Whoever said I was at that dance palace is all wet.
00:50:30Those dirty heels are just using my name
00:50:32to drag people into that place.
00:50:33Say, I'll tell that Hoffman a thing or two.
00:50:36Bill, are you telling me the truth?
00:50:38Sure, honey.
00:50:39You know I wouldn't lie to you.
00:50:41Oh, I know you wouldn't, Bill.
00:50:46Oh, Mr. Gleiber,
00:50:48this is the cup that you dropped in the hall.
00:50:55Well, what have you to say for yourself now?
00:50:57Well, now, wait a minute, Molly.
00:50:58I won't wait a minute.
00:50:59I thought you were a man instead of a miserable snake.
00:51:02Oh, Molly, I can explain.
00:51:03Oh, I wouldn't believe anything you said now.
00:51:05You think more of that cheap, silly dance hall crowd
00:51:07than you do of me.
00:51:08Well, you can have them.
00:51:09And take your silly cups and get out of here.
00:51:12I'm through.
00:51:13Well, say, listen, that's not half of it.
00:51:14I'm through, too, and I'm darn glad of it.
00:51:22Bill!
00:51:49Oh, boy,
00:51:51my kid, Gleiber is sure hot tonight.
00:51:53You look like the old-time champ.
00:51:55Boy, you've sure been stepping some
00:51:57since you got rid of the ball and change.
00:51:59You said it.
00:52:00I heard you charged it with your voice papers the other day.
00:52:03Yeah, well, you don't see any crepe
00:52:04hanging on this arm, do you?
00:52:24Oh, come on, baby, snap out of it.
00:52:26You got a swell break when you got rid of that guy.
00:52:31Yeah, I guess I did.
00:52:33Sure you did, honey.
00:52:41So, the ex-wife stepping out, huh?
00:52:44Yeah.
00:52:46She's got a lot of nerve going out with that egg.
00:52:48Why do you care?
00:52:49Oh, I don't care.
00:52:50Only he's such a heel.
00:52:51Oh, forget it.
00:52:52You got a break when you got rid of her.
00:52:54Besides, you're having a good time, ain't you?
00:52:57Sure.
00:52:57I'm having a swell time.

00:56:42Hey, Bill!
00:56:44How are you, Tommy?
00:56:44How are you, big boy?
00:56:46Oh, pretty good.
00:56:47Say, come on up and see our new baby.
00:56:49Oh, gee, Tommy, you got a new baby?
00:56:51Yeah.
00:56:52Oh, but the wife wouldn't want me buttin' in this time of the night.
00:56:55Oh, say, will you grow up and be your age?
00:56:58She'll be tickled at that.
00:56:59Come on.
00:57:00Hey, you should sit down here.
00:57:02I'm gonna have a few tiny green now, Bill.
00:57:04Why, in fact, you've never seen a youngster like this.
00:57:07He's got more bounce than a rubber ball.
00:57:09Sit down, Bill.
00:57:12Hey, Lou.
00:57:14Oh, Lou.
00:57:15Drive that baby out here.
00:57:17I want to show him off to Bill.
00:57:20Well, Bill, it seems like old times.
00:57:23Remember when you and Molly used to live across the hall?
00:57:26Yeah, I'll say I do.
00:57:34Why, Joe?
00:57:48Correct?
00:57:52Do not try it.
00:57:55I shall save the Fair Drive,
00:57:55Now, come.
00:57:57Here, she can take action.
00:57:58He can manage, Jarrah.
00:57:59Hold the dress,ं distracted by 2,3, 2,3, 4,22,
00:58:04There.
00:58:12You see, that's a swell baby.
00:58:15What's its name?
00:58:16It's not a net.
00:58:18It's a he.
00:58:19And his name's Jimmy.
00:58:21Does he cry much?
00:58:22Oh, cry?
00:58:23Falls like a bull.
00:58:26Hello there, Jimmy.
00:58:28Say, Bill, you don't know what life really is until you have something like that.
00:58:33Why, we wouldn't sell them for a million bucks, would we, honey?
00:58:36No, sir.
00:58:39Blue, you better take them.
00:58:41Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:58:43It's plain to be seen that you don't know anything about babies, Bill.
00:58:47I'll say I don't.
00:58:49Well, I gotta get going, Tommy.
00:58:51Oh, say, Bill, you're not gonna leave now, are you?
00:58:55No, I gotta go.
00:58:56Seemed a shame that you and Molly had to bust up.
00:58:59Yeah, I know, but can't cry over spilt milk.
00:59:01Well, don't worry, kid.
00:59:03Perhaps you two can patch it up.
00:59:05No, I don't think so.
00:59:06She won't even talk to me.
00:59:08Then I don't blame her.
00:59:09I've acted like a heel.
00:59:10Well, good night, Bill.
00:59:12Keep a stiff upper lip.
00:59:13Thanks, Tommy, and thanks for letting me see the baby.
00:59:17Good night, Bill.
00:59:32Good night, Bill.
01:00:18You.
01:00:20Me.
01:00:23Gee, what a sap I've been.
01:00:28Molly.
01:00:29Bill.
01:00:30Oh, honey.
01:00:33Oh, baby girl.
01:00:34Honey, don't cry now, sweetheart.
01:00:36Everything's all right.
01:00:37Oh, that's why I'm crying, Bill.
01:00:39Everything's all right now.
01:00:41Oh, gee, baby.
01:00:43Baby girl.
01:00:44Honey, honey, you know something?
01:00:46It's the first hundred years it's the hardest.
01:00:49Oh.
01:00:58Hi, Needle.
01:00:59Oh, howdy, howdy.
01:01:00Hello, Tampa.
01:01:01How are you?
01:01:02Hello, Molly.
01:01:08Oh, ho!
01:01:16Absolute, pal.
01:01:17Obsolete.
01:01:18Abolacking.
01:01:19Uh-uh.
01:01:19Cuts up.
01:01:19No impertinent.
01:01:20Oh, my God.
