00:02:16every fiber, every tissue of her entire nettingly from the soldier of meat to the top of her
00:02:20head like a bowl of jelly on a cold and frosty morning.
00:02:24Now, gents, if you want to see something just a little bit out of the ordinary, if you want

00:02:34The band starts.
00:02:35The show starts right away.
00:02:36I'll ask the little ladies to retire.
00:02:38The price is 10 cents, one-tenth of a dollar one dime.
00:02:41Come right in, folks.
00:02:42Right in, all of you.
00:02:43Put your money inside.

00:02:46Put your money inside.
00:02:47Put your money inside.
00:02:56Put your money inside.
00:02:56Gee, what a grind.
00:02:58Ten shows in an afternoon is murder.
00:03:00Oh, you need the exercise, girlie, with that figure.
00:03:04Well, yeah?
00:03:04Well, I'll tell you something.
00:03:06My figure's only good for four shows a day.
00:03:10Four meals a day.
00:03:12Ah, put your quarkin', will ya?
00:03:14And do 20 a day in like it if Blackie said so.
00:03:17Well, me, I'm going to jump this show when we get to Hollywood.
00:03:22I know.
00:03:23But they ain't making custard pie comedies anymore.
00:03:26Yeah?
00:03:27Yeah.
00:03:27Don't try to tell you to do my stuff.
00:03:29Don't try to fast-hunk your work.
00:03:30Oh, Liz, they're out of the game.
00:03:31I'm not telling you.
00:03:32You better put more throws in that balloon gun.
00:03:34Listen, funny face.
00:03:35Put down those tights and fry it out yourself.
00:03:37If it was my job, I'd do it right.
00:03:39I'm not yellow.
00:03:40Oh, you big foosh-fighter.
00:03:42Lay off or I'll break your neck.
00:03:44You're not going to break my neck.
00:03:45And I'm not going to break it either.
00:03:47Doing those towels in the air twice a day.
00:03:49Why do you think I'm a monkey?
00:03:51You big fat head.
00:03:52I don't say, baby.
00:03:54Oh, ain't it grand to have a man.
00:04:02Come on, kids.
00:04:03Move over, will you?
00:04:04Yeah, please.
00:04:04I want to park it.
00:04:07Sammy, what's the matter with you anyhow?
00:04:09You got no more pit left than a sailor after shore leave.
00:04:12And listen, Blackie's getting sore.
00:04:15Well, what of it?
00:04:16Oh, come on, Helen.
00:04:18You know when he gets sore at you, he takes her out on the wreck.
00:04:21Well, why don't you quit then?
00:04:24Why don't we all quit and get out of this cheap grind?
00:04:28Quit and do what?
00:04:29Oh, anything.
00:04:32Get into some easy graft.
00:04:33Other girls have things.
00:04:34Yeah, but they know how.
00:04:36Well, we're just the cheap kind.
00:04:38Why, we haven't got brains enough.
00:04:40No?
00:04:40Well, I have.
00:04:41And if I had clothes, I could wear them.
00:04:44What's the difference between me and a folly's day?
00:04:47I'll bite.
00:04:48Well, I'll tell you what.
00:04:50The admission prices, that's all.
00:04:54Five bucks to see them and a dime to see me.
00:04:58I know, girlie.
00:04:59I used to feel the same way.
00:05:01But you can't beat the carnival game.
00:05:04And don't skidget.
00:05:06Hey, you.
00:05:07Come on, snap into a fish you're running good today.
00:05:09Oh, Blackie, we ain't had any rest.
00:05:12And I'm looking for a snappy dance from you.
00:05:14But I'm tired of them.
00:05:15And that goes for you, too.
00:05:17When you dance, dance.
00:05:20You think these natives want to see a living statue act?
00:05:22Well, I'm not dancing anymore.
00:05:26Your what?
00:05:28Oh, I got a toothache.
00:05:32Listen, sweetheart.
00:05:34No one loafs on my show.
00:05:36Not even you.
00:05:45Where'd you get that bracelet?
00:05:47Bought it.
00:05:49Bought it.
00:05:52Spending my good money on that junk.
00:05:55Say, where do you get that of your money stuff?
00:05:59You're 50-50, ain't we?
00:06:01Yeah.
00:06:03On what I...
00:06:04That'll do out of you.
00:06:08There's your bracelet.
00:06:11And if you're not out in front when you should be,
00:06:14I'll be back.
00:06:16To get you.
00:06:20Come on, don't die on your feet.
00:06:21Turn the lights.
00:06:22Snap into it.
00:06:23Listen, kid.
00:06:24You better try and square yourself.
00:06:26You know what he'll do to you.
00:06:27Yeah, I know what he'll do, but he won't do it this time.
00:06:30Come on, toothache.
00:06:31You heard what Blackie said.
00:06:32Well, I'm not going on.
00:06:33Oh, but Helen, you can't do that.
00:06:35I'm not going on, and that settles it.
00:06:37If you don't, you know what'll happen to you.
00:06:38Oh, get out of here.
00:06:42Listen, baby.
00:06:43Don't worry about me.
00:06:45When I quit this carnival, I'm quit for good.
00:06:47All right, folks.
00:06:48Step in close.
00:06:48Right this way for the dancing girls.
00:06:50Come in close, folks.
00:06:51Ballyhoo.
00:06:52Come in close, folks.
00:06:53Step right in where you can see, hear, and understand.
00:06:55That's the idea.
00:06:58All right, folks.
00:06:59Now, for the benefit of the ladies and the children,
00:07:01I want to announce that this is a dancing girl show.
00:07:04Don't.
00:07:05Don't kid yourself about quitting.
00:07:08That other game's the funk.
00:07:09I know.
00:07:10I've tried it.
00:07:12Yeah.
00:07:14Well, that's a chance I'm willing to take.
00:07:19You know, Mae, I've been a ten-cent-a-look dame long enough,
00:07:25and I'm through.
00:07:29Okay, kid.
00:07:31You know what?
00:07:33We're going to miss you around here.
00:07:34Gee, I'm going to miss you, too.
00:07:37All right, folks.
00:07:38All right.
00:07:38Step right in close.
00:07:39Step in close, folks,
00:07:40where you can see, hear, and understand.
00:07:42That's the idea.
00:07:44Where's Helen?
00:07:45She said she wasn't coming out.
00:07:48Now, folks, if you want to hear something and see something,
00:07:51that can sound any different,
00:07:52if you're looking for something out of the ordinary.
00:07:57Goodbye, kid.
00:07:59Goodbye.
00:08:01And good luck.
00:08:03The same to you.
00:08:16Step right inside.
00:08:17I'll ask the little ladies to retire.
00:08:19Here's the pay box.
00:08:20The band plays, and the show starts dancing.
00:08:25Here's the man.
00:08:26Where is she?
00:08:27Where is she?
00:08:28She's gone.
00:08:29She skipped the show.
00:08:30No.
00:08:32I know.
00:08:41Where is Helen?
00:08:42Where do you think she is?
00:08:44Come on.
00:08:45Well, she's gone.
00:08:56She's gone.
00:08:57All right.
00:09:00She's gone.
00:09:01She's gone.
00:09:03She's gone.
00:09:05She's gone.
00:09:06I'll be seeing her again.
00:09:08Sooner or later.
00:09:13Hey, I'd expect you to eat the devil.
00:09:15I know.
00:09:16I know.
00:09:16I know.
00:09:35I know.
00:10:36Don't make it snappy.
00:10:38Listen, girlfriend, I'm going to take you for a walk.
00:10:41Come on.
00:10:44Come on, you old cow.
00:10:46What's the big idea?
00:10:51Hey, you!
00:10:52Who's an old cow?
00:11:00Oh, I'm sorry.
00:11:03Why, I...
00:11:05I was just trying to get them out of the way.
00:11:08Oh, that's all right, old man.
00:11:11Honest, I meant the cows.
00:11:13Well, I hope so.
00:11:18Say, do you like oranges?
00:11:20Oh, no.
00:11:21I'm just collecting some to make a necklace.
00:11:24I thought maybe you were hungry.
00:11:26Don't be foolish.
00:11:27I had a whole egg for breakfast.
00:11:29Say, you are hungry.
00:11:31Let me drive you to Barton.
00:11:33We can get a good meal there.
00:11:35At the carnival.
00:11:36The carnival?
00:11:38No, thanks.
00:11:39I've decided the carnival's no place for a girl like me.
00:11:43Oh, I...
00:11:44I didn't mean that.
00:11:46Well, let me give you a lift anyway.
00:11:48Oh, I'm going in the other direction.
00:11:50So am I.
00:11:55Promise I won't have to get out and walk?
00:11:57Don't worry.
00:11:58This car always gets there.
00:12:00Well, that's different.
00:12:10How do you like your orange?
00:12:12I like it.
00:12:14Pretty swell, isn't it?
00:12:17Could be better.
00:12:20Oh, we got a great country around here.
00:12:22They had a swell time swiping these oranges.
00:12:26Good thing that old man didn't catch you.
00:12:28You scared me to death.
00:12:33Say, do you want to go to Spencerville?
00:12:37No, not particularly. Why?
00:12:40Well, that's where I was heading.
00:12:41I live there.
00:12:42It's about 20 miles from here.
00:12:45Oh, well, that'll do.
00:12:46For the person, it doesn't matter much.
00:12:52You know, I bet you're running away.
00:12:55Good guess.
00:12:59Gee.
00:13:00I'd never dream of running away from home.
00:13:03Home?
00:13:05Yeah.
00:13:09Of course, I know some kids haven't got folks like mine.
00:13:13May have a hard time in lots of ways.
00:13:15But with me, it's different.
00:13:19Well, you see, where I lived, it wasn't like that.
00:13:23I had to get away.
00:13:24I think.
00:13:27Oh, I can understand all right.
00:13:38Well, I got you here, didn't I?
00:13:56Well, goodbye, kid.
00:13:59Well, won't you have some lunch with me?
00:14:03It's really a very respectable place.
00:14:05Well, if you're sure it's respectable.
00:14:09Come on, I know you're hungry.
00:14:16I can't eat another bite.
00:14:20Will there be anything else, Mr. Spencer?
00:14:22Well, that'll be all, thank you.
00:14:32So your name's Spencer.
00:14:34Bobby Spencer.
00:14:36What's yours?
00:14:37Helen Herbert.
00:14:39Didn't you tell me Spencerville's the name of this town?
00:14:43Yes, it is.
00:14:44Any relation of yours?
00:14:46You bet.
00:14:47My great-granddad founded the town.
00:14:49It was named after him.
00:14:51That's swell.
00:14:54Your folks must be pretty important.
00:14:57Of course, everyone knows us.
00:15:00My dad's been in business a long time here.
00:15:04Say, I'll bet your mother's a pillar of the church and a club woman and...
00:15:08Say, how'd you guess?
00:15:12Oh, I just guess.
00:15:17Is there anything the matter?
00:15:21No, nothing.
00:15:24Don't worry about me.
00:15:29Wouldn't you like to stay in Spencerville for a while?
00:15:33No.
00:15:35I'm going on to Frisco.
00:15:37Oh, but just for a while.
00:15:38It's quiet here.
00:15:40A wonderful place to rest.
00:15:41I bet it's quiet all right.
00:15:44But there's really a lot doing.
00:15:45We've got three movie houses here.
00:15:48No.
00:15:49And Vaudeville, Saturday nights.
00:15:51And there's seven churches in town, and our high school's the best in the county.
00:15:54I'd like to show you around.
00:15:56And when you see the new hospital, you'll be crazy about it.
00:16:00Well, now, I didn't know about the hospital.
00:16:02That makes a difference.
00:16:06Well, maybe I'll stay for a while.
00:16:09Look around for a place.
00:16:11That's the idea.
00:16:12I know just the place for you.
00:16:14Would you let me show it to you?
00:16:16Sure, why not?
00:16:24This is it, Bobby.
00:16:29Thanks, Mr. Bennett.
00:16:30I'll let you know what Miss Herbert thinks about it.
00:16:33All right.
00:16:37What?
00:16:40Well, how do you like it?
00:16:43It's pretty swell, but a little too rich for my blood.
00:16:48The furnished room's about my speed.
00:16:52Is it?
00:16:53Is it on account of the expense?
00:16:56How'd you guess it?
00:16:58Oh, I'll be having plenty of money in a day or so, but just know I...
00:17:03But I...
00:17:04If you'll just let me...
00:17:07Now, wait a minute, kid.
00:17:08You don't want to be paying for my apartment.
00:17:31Now, listen.
00:17:32You look on me as a friend, don't you?
00:17:36Maybe.
00:17:37Well, friends help each other.
00:17:40My dad owns these apartments, and I'll tell the superintendent not to bother you for the rent till it's convenient.
00:17:45Then you won't have to pay till you get that money you're expecting.
00:17:52That's nice of you.
00:17:54It sure is.
00:17:55Will you stay?
00:17:59Oh, I'll stay for a while.
00:18:02And see how I get on here.
00:18:04Great. Now you're talking.
00:18:05Am I?
00:18:08You know, I think you're...
00:18:12Gee, all the boys in town are going to be crazy about you.
00:18:17Well, maybe I'd better be going.
00:18:32Oh, here's your key.
00:18:41Thanks.
00:18:44You know, you're a sweet kid, is that?
00:18:46You're sweet.
00:18:49Can I come and see you sometime?
00:18:54Anytime.
00:18:54Anytime.
00:18:56I'll come tonight.
00:18:58All right.
00:19:00Goodbye, Helen.
00:19:02Goodbye, Sonny.
00:19:03Bye.
00:19:13Bye.
00:20:22Why, hello, Baba. You're early.
00:20:25Only a half hour.
00:20:26Well, what is it today?
00:20:28A look at the new high school building or a public library?
00:20:31No.
00:20:32A wonderful place I know in the country.
00:20:34A park.
00:20:35Gee, we ought to have a lot of fun at a place like that.
00:20:38Sure. It's a great place for a walk.
00:20:41All right.
00:20:59You know, every time I come out here, it makes me feel sort of, oh, sort of choked up.
00:21:07Do you come out here often? I mean, with girls.
00:21:12Oh, no. I've never had much to do with girls.
00:21:15All the girls I know is so darn silly. I...
00:21:19Thanks.
00:21:21Oh, but... but you're different.
00:21:25Yes, I'm different, all right.
00:21:28Come on, let's go down to the lake.
00:21:30All right.
00:21:39Gee, this place makes me feel like a two-year-old with a halter off.
00:21:44You were paid when you thought I'd called you a cow, but now you call yourself a horse.
00:21:49Oh, that's just an expression of Blackie's.
00:21:52Blackie?
00:21:55Oh, he's just an acquaintance of mine.
00:21:57Oh.
00:22:05Gee, I guess I haven't done anything but talk about myself and my family for an hour.
00:22:12I'll admit you're a great talker.
00:22:16Say, Bobby, has your family ever said anything to you about me?
00:22:23They don't even know I've been seeing you.
00:22:25You know, you made me promise because you thought they might not understand.
00:22:29I mean about your waiting for that... that check and all.
00:22:35Yes, it's too bad.
00:22:37And the money doesn't seem to be any closer.
00:22:40But I'll get it.
00:22:43Oh, I know you will.
00:22:44Only I wish you'd let me introduce you to Mother and Dad now.
00:22:50No, not yet.
00:22:51Oh, you'll love them.
00:22:55And how will they like me?
00:22:57They love you.
00:22:58They couldn't help it.
00:23:01Well, I'll admit I'm a pretty good egg, but you know some people have such funny ideas.
00:23:05Oh, not Mother and Dad.
00:23:07They're the best in the world.
00:23:11I can guess that.
00:23:16Say, you're cold.
00:23:18Maybe we'd better be getting along now if the sun's going down.
00:23:29Oh.
00:23:31Oh.
00:23:34Oh.
00:23:36Oh.
00:23:37Oh.
00:23:38Oh.
00:23:41Oh.
00:23:50Gee.
00:23:52You almost fell.
00:24:11What's the matter, Helen?
00:24:14Just tired, I guess.
00:24:17Oh, I shouldn't have made you walk so far.
00:24:20You wait here, and I'll bring the car as near as I can.
00:24:29Helen, you're beautiful standing there.
00:24:35You don't mind my saying that.
00:24:38I just can't help it.
00:24:40No, I don't mind you saying it.
00:24:42I'm glad you think I'm beautiful.
00:24:47Well, I'll go get the car.
00:24:49Be right back.
00:24:54I don't mind.
00:25:35Well, Robert, he's getting dressed.
00:25:38I suppose he's going out again.
00:25:40You won't feel so fresh when I get through talking to him.
00:25:44But talk to him gently, won't you?
00:25:48Don't get angry.
00:25:49Find out who the girl is.
00:25:51Whoever she is, he's got to give her up.
00:25:53He's been out late every night for the past month.
00:25:57But scolding him and telling him he can't do this and that
00:26:00won't do a bit of good.
00:26:04Bobby's just like you.
00:26:06One can't get a thing out of either of you
00:26:09without a lot of petting.
00:26:12Hmm.
00:26:13A heck of a lot of petting I get around here.
00:26:16You just leave him to me.
00:26:18I'll boil the daylights out of him.
00:26:20No, don't do that.
00:26:21Who is this girl, anyway?
00:26:22I don't know.
00:26:24But I've heard she's not the right kind of a girl.
00:26:37This is such a critical time in Bobby's life.
00:26:40And you know the trouble a bad woman can get a boy into.
00:26:45Hmm.
00:26:47And...
00:26:47Shh.
00:26:48Here he comes.
00:26:57So long, Dad.
00:26:59Where are you going, Bobby?
00:27:01Out to dinner.
00:27:03You've been out to dinner quite a lot lately, haven't you?
00:27:05Why, yes.
00:27:06Yes, I believe I have.
00:27:08Wait a minute.
00:27:08I want to talk to you.
00:27:14Well, I'm in a way of a hurry, Dad.
00:27:16What is it?
00:27:18Sit down.
00:27:24I won't have you worrying your mother.
00:27:28What do you mean?
00:27:29I've always treated Mother right.
00:27:32She's staying awake nights, waiting for you.
00:27:34What's the idea of these late hours?
00:27:37Oh, I didn't know she was worrying about that.
00:27:40I've been going out a bit.
00:27:42It's all right, Dad.
00:27:43You're too young to be running around wild, Bobby.
00:27:46Say, Dad, would you mind cutting out that too young stuff?
00:27:49Now, don't get fresh.
00:27:50I'm not fresh.
00:27:51I'm only trying to talk to you.
00:27:53But that's the way I'm always shouted down when I try to tell you anything.
00:27:56Hmm.
00:28:01Dad, I'm not going back to college in the fall.
00:28:05What?
00:28:06I want to go to work.
00:28:10You'll finish college and there'll be no argument about it.
00:28:13Won't you even listen to me?
00:28:14You'd think I was a baby.
00:28:16You're acting like one.
00:28:17Just because I want a little life and fun, you bawl me out.
00:28:20I'm bawling you out because you're keeping your mother awake nights.
00:28:26Well, I won't keep her awake much longer.
00:28:30Look here, Dad.
00:28:31I have a lot of things I want to talk to you about.
00:28:34Serious things.
00:28:35Things that I've...
00:28:37Oh, well.
00:28:39You wouldn't be interested.
00:28:41Come on.
00:28:41What's on your chest?
00:28:44Well, if you want to know,
00:28:47I've got a romance in my life.
00:28:52A girl, you mean?
00:28:53Now, what do you think I'd have a romance with?
00:28:59A romance?
00:29:00Go on.
00:29:01Laugh.
00:29:02I suppose that's all it means to you.
00:29:04Well, it means this to me.
00:29:05I'm quitting college and I'm taking a job.
00:29:08I'm going to work for the Kelsey sales system.
00:29:12What for?
00:29:13To make a living.
00:29:16Who for?
00:29:19Wife or...
00:29:19Well, you may as well know it.
00:29:23I'm going to get married.
00:29:31Bobby, have you got some girl...
00:29:33Oh, Dad.
00:29:34Doesn't a man ever get married unless he has to?
00:29:40Say, it isn't so long ago I used to take you down to the garage and wallop you.
00:29:44I can still do it, son.
00:29:47And I don't have any more of this kind of talk.
00:29:54Marriage.
00:29:55You!
00:29:55.
00:29:58.
00:29:59.
00:29:59.
00:29:59.
00:30:00.
00:36:42Well, well, well.
00:36:47I thought I'd be seeing you again.
00:36:49Sooner or later.
00:36:57I'm not a bad either way.
00:37:00Not bad at all.
00:37:03Who'd you promote this time?
00:37:05A mayor?
00:37:15Blackie, how'd you find me?
00:37:19I always find what belongs to me.
00:37:33Say, Blackie, beat it.
00:37:41Well, I figured I'm camping here for a while.
00:37:45Well, you're not camping here.
00:37:48This is my place.
00:37:51Yes?
00:37:52Yes.
00:37:53Well, how about buying me a little drink?
00:37:56Come on, get out.
00:37:58No liquor?
00:38:01Oh, well.
00:38:06Blackie, please.
00:38:07There are plenty of girls on the show prettier than me.
00:38:11And, gee, they're just crazy about you, Blackie.
00:38:17Now, listen.
00:38:22You and I are going to talk this thing over right now.
00:38:26Okay.
00:38:27It won't take long.
00:38:31Blackie, I'm through with you.
00:38:33And I'm through with the carnival.
00:38:36What's the matter?
00:38:37Another guy?
00:38:39Oh.
00:38:40So that's it, huh?
00:38:42That's none of your business.
00:38:45Are you in a jam?
00:38:47I'll help you out.
00:38:49You can't help me out.
00:38:51I've taken my count.
00:38:53What do you mean?
00:38:55I mean I'm going to marry him.
00:38:58Here.
00:38:59Here you go.
00:39:05Now, listen.
00:39:06That's why I want you to go.
00:39:07Don't you see?
00:39:21You don't mind if I meet the bridegroom?
00:39:24Hmm?
00:39:26Uh-huh.
00:39:30Come on, kids.
00:39:31Oh, hello, Helen.
00:39:33Oh, jeez.
00:39:33Oh, I'm going to see you.
00:39:35Oh, hello, Helen.
00:39:36Say, let me go.
00:39:37Hello, Helen.
00:39:38Oh, jeez.
00:39:41Gee, kid, it's good to see you.
00:39:43Uh.
00:39:44Oh, you would get here first.
00:39:49Howdy, back.
00:39:51Jesus, I'm afraid to fight.
00:39:52Come on, Gary.
00:39:53Tell us who we are here.
00:39:54There must be Santa Claus.
00:39:55You say something to have to drink.
00:39:57Oh, if there was, you'd find it blindful.
00:40:09May, please get him out.
00:40:10Please get him out.
00:40:11Oh, Helen, when are you coming back with the show?
00:40:13Gee, we've had tough luck ever since you've left.
00:40:15Yeah, and you know, kid, on account of this rain, we were almost stranded.
00:40:18The blackie got us a swell job for the night.
00:40:20Yeah, we're entertaining some locals at a stag.
00:40:22Better get in on it, kid.
00:40:24We're going to have a big feed and plenty to drink.
00:40:26I'm not coming back, May.
00:40:27Please get him out.
00:40:29Please get him out.
00:40:29Please get him out.
00:40:42This must be the boyfriend, girl.
00:40:44Isn't he cute?
00:40:45If you've got any friends, go get him, and then we'll throw a real party.
00:40:48Say, darling, have you got a kick in the pants, huh?
00:40:50A what?
00:40:51A flat on the hip, there, eh?
00:40:53No, I haven't.
00:40:54You don't drink, do you, beautiful mom?
00:40:56Oh, get away from me.
00:40:59I didn't know you had company, Helen.
00:41:01I'll come back later.
00:41:03Please don't go, Bobby.
00:41:06Come on, kids, beat it.
00:41:07Can't you see Helen don't feel good?
00:41:09Yeah, go.
00:41:10Please go.
00:41:11Come on, all of you.
00:41:12Hurry up, hurry up.
00:41:14So you don't approve we're girlfriends, eh?
00:41:16Say, you ought to see Helen do her stuff.
00:41:17She can be any of us.
00:41:18Go home, you little shrimp and mommy dance.
00:41:21Go on outside.
00:41:26Well, now, you know.
00:41:28Know what?
00:41:29That I'm one of them, a carnival girl.
00:41:31Oh, but you're not like any of those girls.
00:41:33Yes, I am.
00:41:35And I suppose it's just as well you know.
00:41:43Well, what of it?
00:41:44You work for your living in a carnival.
00:41:46Well, that isn't so terrible, is it?
00:41:49Anyway, you hated it.
00:41:51You ran away as soon as you could.
00:41:54Helen, you don't belong with that crowd.
00:41:57But I do.
00:41:59It's the only life I've ever known.
00:42:02The carnival and...
00:42:03But you're through with all that now.
00:42:05Yes, I'm through with it.
00:42:06But don't you see it happened?
00:42:08It's part of me.
00:42:11Oh, I wanted lots of times to tell you.
00:42:14But it was so wonderful, having you believing in me.
00:42:21Gee, I'm sorry this has to end.
00:42:25End?
00:42:27It's only the beginning for you and me.
00:42:30Helen, we're going ahead just as we planned.
00:42:33We're going to be married tomorrow.
00:42:37Bobby, are you sure you still want me?
00:42:39Well, I was never sure of anything in my life.
00:43:02Well, Mrs. Spencer, won't you come in?
00:43:08Thank you, Miss Weber.
00:43:14How did you know me?
00:43:18I'd know Bobby's mother anywhere.
00:43:21That's a sweet compliment.
00:43:24You know, Miss Herbert,
00:43:25you're even more attractive than I thought you were.
00:43:29I wonder if you're as...
00:43:32sensible.
00:43:33sensible.
00:43:39I suppose you mean what's my price.
00:43:44No.
00:43:45I didn't come to offer you money.
00:43:48No.
00:43:50I came to talk with you.
00:43:52As you might have come to talk with me.
00:43:55Quietly.
00:43:56And, I hope,
00:43:58sensibly.
00:44:01All right.
00:44:03As long as you're not trying to make me swap Bobby for the bankrolls,
00:44:07I'll listen.
00:44:10Won't you sit down?
00:44:30So, this is where Bobby has been staying until two in the morning.
00:44:38You're wrong, Mrs. Spencer.
00:44:42Most of the time, it's been three o'clock.
00:44:46Oh, I know everything's been quite all right.
00:44:49Then why speak about it?
00:44:52I thought we were going to talk sensibly.
00:44:55Well, that suits me perfect.
00:45:02On the level, Mrs. Spencer,
00:45:04I'm sorry this happened.
00:45:06I don't want to fight with you.
00:45:08I want to be friends.
00:45:13And I'm sorry, too, my dear.
00:45:15Suppose from now on,
00:45:17we talk this over as
00:45:19two women who love Bobby.
00:45:22Then you admit I love him.
00:45:25I think you do.
00:45:27Then why can't I marry him?
00:45:30Because that's what you're here to tell me, isn't it?
00:45:33Yes.
00:45:35Don't you see?
00:45:36You can't marry him.
00:45:38It's...
00:45:39It's not in the game.
00:45:42Game?
00:45:44I'm not playing a game.
00:45:47I want to be real for a while.
00:45:49And I can be with Bobby.
00:45:51If you'll just give me a break.
00:45:54I've never had a chance
00:45:56to be anything but a carnival girl.
00:45:59Can't you see I'd be on the up and up with him?
00:46:02I'm sure you would be.
00:46:07So does he.
00:46:09That's why he's going to marry me.
00:46:22Miss Herbert, we both know you can do what you want with Bobby.
00:46:27One word from you and he'd leave his family.
00:46:31He'd do anything in the world for you.
00:46:33I know it.
00:46:35That's why I love him.
00:46:37Because he's dead game.
00:46:41Game.
00:46:42Bobby always was that.
00:46:45But Miss Herbert, are you game?
00:46:49Me game?
00:46:50I mean where Bobby is concerned.
00:46:53Well, I'd do anything for him.
00:46:55I'd die for him.
00:46:57I mean, as you put it, are you on the up and up with him?
00:47:09Bobby knows where I've been.
00:47:12I've told him everything.
00:47:15How about this man, Whitey?
00:47:17You mean Blacky?
00:47:19Blacky, Whitey, or Red.
00:47:21What is the difference?
00:47:24Did Bobby tell you that?
00:47:26No.
00:47:27I found out for myself.
00:47:29Bobby lied to me to protect you.
00:47:32That's what he'll always have to do for you.
00:47:36Lie to everybody.
00:47:40You asked me for a break, Miss Herbert.
00:47:44Why don't you give him a break?
00:47:50I never thought of it that way.
00:47:53Of course you didn't.
00:47:55You were too wrapped up in your dreams.
00:47:59You say you want him to be happy.
00:48:02No man can be happy without the respect of his fellow men.
00:48:05And no man can have that if he has some lie about his wife.
00:48:09Oh, but we'll go away someplace.
00:48:16But you can never run away from yourself.
00:48:28You win.
00:48:30I was just kidding myself.
00:48:35And you won't see him anymore?
00:48:39I won't see him anymore.
00:48:51I'm sorry I had to hurt you.
00:48:53Hurt me?
00:48:57Well, I feel like a two-year-old with a heart or a heart.
00:49:00I don't know.
00:49:02I'm sorry.
00:49:08I don't know.
00:49:09I don't know.
00:49:17Even though I'm more.
00:49:18I kind of look for someone.
00:49:18I don't know.
00:49:18The way they really get we're married.
00:49:18But that's the one.
00:49:22I don't know.
00:49:23I don't know.
00:49:24I don't know.
00:49:49Two more dames put to show last night.
00:49:52Well, can you blame them?
00:49:53Gee, I thought I was used to tough outfits.
00:49:57But this guy, Blackie...
00:49:58Oh, forget it. You and I can stand anything.
00:50:01Oh, I suppose so.
00:50:10Why, Helen.
00:50:11Hello, Helen.
00:50:13Hello, kids.
00:50:14What's the matter? What happened?
00:50:18Nothing.
00:50:21Just found out I was kidding myself.
00:50:23Did the kid give you the air?
00:50:25Why don't you sue him?
00:50:26Oh, Nixon.
00:50:34Gee, you... you sure look all in, kid.
00:50:47Are you hungry?
00:50:51Do you think I'd be here if I wasn't?
00:50:56Give me a cigarette, May.
00:50:58Sure, kid.
00:51:01Here.
00:51:04Say, May.
00:51:06What?
00:51:13I was wondering if Blackie would give me my job back.
00:51:21Well, you know Blackie.
00:51:25Hi, Max.
00:51:26I'll drink this morning.
00:51:28Heh.
00:51:28I heard a...
00:51:30La Belle Helene herself.
00:51:36What are you doing? Out on a slumming party?
00:51:38Oh, don't, Blackie.
00:51:39You keep out of this.
00:51:44Well?
00:51:46Well, I'd like to come back with the outfit.
00:51:49Hmm?
00:51:50You're doing me a favor, hmm?
00:51:54All right.
00:51:56I won't rub it in.
00:51:59I'm still strong for you, kid.
00:52:02And I don't mean maybe.
00:52:06Find yourself a costume and I'll announce you tonight.
00:52:10Hmm.
00:52:13All right, all right.
00:52:14Come to life.
00:52:35Will you do me a favor?
00:52:37If Fifi don't show up, will you make that balloon jump tonight?
00:52:40You used to do aerial stuff.
00:52:41Yeah, and a circus with a net underneath.
00:52:43But listen, Billy.
00:52:44Oh, Scrant.
00:52:46Ah, listen, Matt.
00:52:47Put your worry.
00:52:48She's probably out looking for the town bootlegger.
00:52:50Oh, she'd have found him long before this.
00:52:56Not a dull moment for that guy.
00:52:57You made that good.
00:52:58I wanted me to make that.
00:52:59You told me.
00:53:03Ah, thank you, Captain.
00:53:04You used to be on the white man.
00:53:05Ah, thank you.
00:53:06Yes, back this way.
00:53:07That's it.
00:53:09Hey, golly.
00:53:10Hey, golly.
00:53:12Hey, golly.
00:53:13Hey, golly.
00:53:16Hey, golly.
00:53:32Hey, golly!
00:53:34About as a fitting climax of tonight's attraction,
00:53:37Nabelle Helene herself will present for your approval her sensational oriental dance,
00:53:42in which every muscle, every fiber of her entire anatomy,
00:53:45from the soles of a peak to the top of a head,
00:53:47shakes and quivers like a bowl of jelly on a cold and frosty morning.
00:53:52Now, gents, if you're looking for something just a little out of the ordinary,
00:53:55looking for something that's going to make you feel like a two-year-old with a holler-off,
00:54:01I'll ask some little ladies to retire.
00:54:02There's the pay box. The band plays and the show starts by the way.
00:54:36What's on your mind, kid? You ain't been the same since you've been back.
00:54:41Here, let me give you a drink.
00:54:43Thanks, Billy. I'm not drinking.
00:54:50Okay. It's here if you want it.
00:54:52All right, honey.
00:54:55What about you, son?
00:54:56Lipstick?
00:54:57Where'd you get that?
00:55:00Hey, you.
00:55:02You can't go in there.
00:55:04I tell you, I have to.
00:55:05I'm looking for someone.
00:55:06Oh, he mustn't see me.
00:55:08Come on, get out of here.
00:55:09Come on, get out of here.
00:55:10Come on, get out of here.
00:55:12Come on, get out of here.
00:55:13You've got to go in there.
00:55:14You can't stop.
00:55:15Just a minute.
00:55:17This kid's okay.
00:55:19He's a friend of ours.
00:55:20Well, that's different.
00:55:23Come on in, Mr. Spencer.
00:55:29Where is she?
00:55:29I was sure I heard her.
00:55:32Who?
00:55:33Helen.
00:55:34Miss Herbert.
00:55:36Oh, no, kid.
00:55:37You're knocking on the wrong door.
00:55:39She ain't with us anymore.
00:55:42Are you sure?
00:55:44Well, Nicola?
00:55:47Do you see her?
00:55:49The whole gang's here.
00:55:53I was sure she'd come back here.
00:55:58Oh, I...
00:55:59I'm sorry.
00:56:01That's all right, kid.
00:56:13Oh, come on, kid.
00:56:24Steady, steady.
00:56:26Steady.
00:56:26You've got to see it through.
00:56:29Oh, see it through for what?
00:56:32This?
00:56:35Living in a dirty tent in the mud?
00:56:42That?
00:56:44Dance.
00:56:45Dance all day and half the night.
00:56:49See it through for what?
00:56:51Well...
00:56:53It's a living.
00:56:55No, it ain't.
00:56:56It's just keeping alive.
00:56:59You learn a lot knowing a decent kid like Bobby.
00:57:05It can't make you something you're not.
00:57:07But it makes you hate what you are.
00:57:11Terribly.
00:57:12Oh, so terribly.
00:57:16I'm so tired.
00:57:17Don't you see it all the night.
00:57:17You have to be in the way.
00:57:19You have to keep it in the way.
00:57:21You have to keep it in the way.
00:57:22You don't want to do.
00:57:24See it all the night.
00:57:26Let's keep the night.
00:57:27Let me just go.
00:57:28All the night.
00:57:29All the night.
00:57:34Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry.
00:58:01Well, here you are, boy.
00:58:04Oh, hello, Dad.
00:58:07You've given me quite a chase on you.
00:58:09I figured you'd follow me.
00:58:12The question is, do we go back home together?
00:58:16No, Dad.
00:58:20Then I'll stick around.
00:58:23No, don't do that, Dad.
00:58:25You see, I'm going to stay with the carnival till she comes back.
00:58:30Even if I have to get a job here.
00:58:33You couldn't do that.
00:58:35Not with these people.
00:58:37She's bound to come back here.
00:58:42You don't understand, Dad, do you?
00:58:46Perhaps I do, Bobby.
00:58:48Better than I let you believe.
00:58:53It's not easy, this thing of being a father.
00:58:57It's hard to tell when to stop being that and just be a friend.
00:59:07I'm afraid I fell down on the job.
00:59:12Do you know where you fell down, Dad?
00:59:15No.
00:59:17Every time I tried to tell you something, you laughed at me.
00:59:20I wasn't laughing at you, Bobby.
00:59:23I was laughing at your father, 25 years ago.
00:59:33Then, Dad, you know how I feel inside.
00:59:39There's nothing that could hurt more than this, could it?
00:59:43Nothing.
00:59:45And you'd give up everything rather than lose her.
00:59:56Yes, Dad.
01:00:00I'm sorry.
01:00:04I can't even understand that.
01:00:06Then you'll stand by me?
01:00:08I want you to be happy.
01:00:11We'll work it out together.
01:00:13First, have you had anything to eat?
01:00:15Oh, I'm not hungry.
01:00:16Oh, come on.
01:00:17Come on.
01:00:20How was Orlando?
01:00:22Not so much.
01:00:23That's what they all say.
01:00:24The best man of race.
01:00:26Hot dog.
01:00:27All the time.
01:00:28Biggie.
01:00:28Biggie.
01:00:29Hot lunch.
01:00:30Now you fill up.
01:00:31Aren't you going to eat anything, Dad?
01:00:33No, not for me.
01:00:35I'm going to stroll about a bit.
01:00:36I'll be back later.
01:00:37All right, Dad.
01:00:39What are you going to have, buddy?
01:00:43I'll have a hot dog with all the strangers.
01:00:45Hot dog with all the envelopes.
01:00:47A little out of the ordinary.
01:00:48Something that's going to make you feel like a two-year-old with a holler-off.
01:00:52I'll ask for the little ladies to retire.
01:00:54There's the pay box.
01:00:55The band plays.
01:00:56And the show starts right away.
01:01:03Where can I find a Miss Helen Herbert?
01:01:10Blackie sends you.
01:01:14Try her dressing tent.
01:01:15You'll probably find her there.
01:01:26I beg your pardon.
01:01:28I was looking for a Miss Herbert.
01:01:32Yes?
01:01:38Are you Miss Herbert?
01:01:43Who are you?
01:01:45I'm Bobby's father.
01:01:54So this is Helen.
01:01:56Don't go.
01:02:01What more do you want of me?
01:02:04Just a little talk.
01:02:15It seems we're both very much concerned with a very unhappy young man.
01:02:23What are we going to do, Fulavi?
01:02:27Why do you ask me?
01:02:30He loves you.
01:02:33And I believe you love him.
01:02:46Do you?
01:02:50He's here.
01:02:51Looking for you.
01:02:54Don't worry.
01:02:56I won't see him.
01:02:58I'm afraid he can't be handled as easily as that.
01:03:03Bobby's young.
01:03:05He'll forget in time.
01:03:08Yes.
01:03:09In time.
01:03:11But before he forgets,
01:03:14so many things,
01:03:16terrible things,
01:03:17can happen to a boy like Bobby.
01:03:20And I think we'd both like to keep him
01:03:23as he is.
01:03:27Yes.
01:03:28As he is.
01:03:31The only other thing...
01:03:33What?
01:03:34Would be for you to...
01:03:37to marry him.
01:03:44You wouldn't want that.
01:03:47It would mean he's going away.
01:03:50To some place where he's not known.
01:03:54Well, that would kind of upset your plans, wouldn't it?
01:03:58I had hoped he would study law
01:04:00and enter my firm.
01:04:03But perhaps father shouldn't make plans.
01:04:07Nor mother's.
01:04:10Yes, mother.
01:04:12It would be hard on her.
01:04:14She's always been so proud of him.
01:04:17I suppose all mothers are the same.
01:04:21Their home is a little world.
01:04:24And their children,
01:04:27all that matters.
01:04:30If you take him away from us...
01:04:33I won't do that.
01:04:36But you already have.
01:04:38Bobby has chosen you.
01:04:40He won't give up till he finds you.
01:04:43And when he does,
01:04:46what then?
01:04:47Have you figured there's anything wrong here...
01:04:49Max!
01:04:49Well, what do you want?
01:04:50Make it snappy.
01:04:51Oh, Max, wait just a minute.
01:04:59I have to go now, Mr. Spencer.
01:05:02But...
01:05:04I think I can figure a way out.
01:05:08And you won't have to worry.
01:05:11Goodbye.
01:05:13And tell Bobby.
01:05:16Gosh.
01:05:17I never was very good at this goodbye stuff.
01:05:23Well...
01:05:24Well, maybe I'll see you a little later.
01:05:30What do you want?
01:05:31Have you seen her?
01:05:32No, no, Max.
01:05:34I haven't seen her.
01:05:35Listen, let me do that balloon jump for you.
01:05:37You?
01:05:38You've never done any aerial scouts.
01:05:41Sure I did when I was a kid in Ramona Park.
01:05:45Well, I don't know.
01:05:46Oh, come on.
01:05:48I'll give them their money's worth.
01:05:51Well...
01:05:51Come on, give me her for it.
01:05:52Listen, Helen, you're going to take a chance for me.
