00:07Daddy's crazy for Amy. Mommy's crazy for Amy. Baby brother loves Amy. It's easy to do.
00:20Rosalie's her best friend, come one day, and she will gladly say. Arthur'd be her boyfriend any day, if Amy
00:31only had her way.
00:34Arthur's grandmother loves her. Nearly everyone loves her. Betcha when you meet Amy, that you'll love her too.
00:53Daddy. Hi, kicker plum. Hi. My old America, 1978. Mmm, that smells good.
01:05Oh, that's because we added that extra magic ingredient. A baseball.
01:11Jonathan threw it in the still. All the way from over there? Oh, what an arm that kid's got.
01:19I showed him how to throw it, Daddy. You know, you're gonna grow up to be another Mickey Mantle, you
01:23know that?
01:24Bill, don't you think it's a bit silly to try to teach a two-year-old to play baseball?
01:28You're right. This is the football season. Yeah, yeah, well, you'll get used to holding this. You know, someday you're
01:37gonna be wearing your dad's old jersey.
01:40Number 82. Well, you're certainly in a happy mood. Honey, I think we're gonna beat Jefferson City High this weekend.
01:48That'll mean an undefeated season and a raise.
01:51Of course, don't quote me now. As the coach, I'm supposed to say, of course, we expect to get beaten
01:56about 58 to nothing, but we hope to give him a good game.
01:59But, Daddy, you can't lose. You've got Arthur. Oh, yes, my regular third-string quarterback. Sweetheart, I think I'd better
02:08tell you this before somebody else does. Arthur isn't exactly the best football player in the world.
02:13Second best? No, and you better not ask the third best or the fourth. Why isn't Arthur a good football
02:19player? Well, he tries hard enough, but he just hasn't got it.
02:24Now, take Ted Crane, our first-string quarterback. He's a cocky, confident, spoiled kid. The way he drives around in
02:30that flashy convertible of his with that fancy foxtail waving in the breeze as if he owned the whole town,
02:35and when he gets on that football field, he's got it. And, uh, Arthur hasn't.
02:41Couldn't you give it to Arthur? I wish I could. Amy, let's skate around the block again. Rosalie, you know
02:54we haven't tried. Arthur might need us to push his car.
02:58Amy Martin, sometimes I wish Arthur never moved next door to you. Love is spilling our fun. Arthur and I
03:07are practically engaged.
03:09Oh. When are you gonna marry Arthur? When if I'm 16. That's such a long time. I know. But Mama
03:18says I can't wear lipstick until I'm 16, and I wouldn't want to get married without lipstick.
03:22I'll be right up front, Grandma.
03:27Oh, Rosalie, he's beautiful. Hi, Amy. Rosalie. Hello, Arthur. What are you gonna do? Practice fading back to past. Maybe
03:37if I improve enough, maybe your father will put me in the game against Jefferson City. Boy, I'd give anything
03:42for that.
03:42Can I help? Please? No thanks, Amy. You know every time you help me, something always goes wrong. Her father's
03:52the coach.
03:56Yeah. Alright, I guess you can send her the ball for me.
04:03I'll call a few numbers and then I'll say Hup. What number is Hup?
04:07It's not a number. Just send her the ball at Hup.
04:113, 9, 5, Hup.
04:21Coach, I didn't mean to do it.
04:23I know, Arthur. But you always do.
04:31He may never talk to me again. I've just got to think of something to do for Arthur. It'd be
04:39awful if the man I married hated me.
04:42Honey, I guess the news that I've got quite a football team this year must be getting around. We've just
04:47been invited to the country club to sit at the main table at the dance after the game.
04:59Bill, I'd rather not go to that dance. Why not?
05:02Well, you know how exclusive that club is and all the women have minks and expensive furs and all I've
05:07got is a plain cloth coat.
05:09What happened to that fox fur jacket of yours? It's practically new.
05:12Darling, I've had that fox jacket five years longer than the fox. Just last week I took it down to
05:18have it cleaned and glazed.
05:19Well?
05:21He refused it.
05:22What?
05:23He said if he tried to clean it once more the thing would fall apart, so all I can do
05:26is just throw it out.
05:30Look, we can't turn that invitation down. If you're going to let a silly thing like a fur interfere with
05:35-
05:35Bill, it's not silly. Why, even a fox fur can give you a feeling of confidence. It makes you feel
05:40-
05:46Amy dear, why don't you go visit Ozzy's grandmother? Maybe she can give you some advice on what to do
05:51for us.
05:52All right. But you two weren't having much of an argument. Both Lisa's her parents throw things.
06:06We're not going to throw things, are we? No. I guess I can go in my cloth coat. That's what,
06:13girl.
06:20You take two lumps, don't you, dear? Yes, Mrs. Peabody.
06:25I think trouble should always be discussed over tea. And my goodness, there are lots of troubles in this world
06:31today.
06:33Uh, try one of these cookies, dear. They're delicious.
06:37But I'm rambling on, and you came here to talk about Arthur, didn't you, dear?
06:42Yes, Mrs. Peabody.
06:44That shouldn't be too difficult. After all, I raised Arthur.
06:48Oh, well, about the only thing Arthur cares about now is football. And he's doing splendidly.
06:55Daddy thinks Arthur isn't a very good football player.
06:58I thought your father had a high regard for Arthur. In the last game I watched, there wasn't a moment
07:05he didn't have Arthur sitting right beside him on the bench.
07:10Are you sure of that, dear?
07:12Yes, Mrs. Peabody. Daddy said Arthur just hasn't got it.
07:17Have you any idea what it is?
07:20No, but Ted Crane has got it.
07:23Well then, we must see that Arthur has it.
07:25But what could it be?
07:29I don't know.
07:32The only thing I could think of it, Arthur might possibly lack, is a certain confidence in himself.
07:40That must be it. Daddy keeps on talking about how confident Ted Crane is.
07:46Then we've solved the problem. All Arthur requires is confidence.
07:51But how do you give someone confidence?
07:54That's a very good question, dear. I wish I had an answer.
07:59Well, I've got to find some way.
08:01Oh dear, this is a very perplexing problem.
08:06We found out what it is.
08:08And now we don't know what to do about it.
08:11But in the meantime...
08:13Yes, Mrs. Peabody?
08:14Well, have some more tea, dear.
08:20Why does Arthur need confidence?
08:23To help him become a great football player.
08:26Amy, why do we always have to help everyone?
08:30You know what our teacher in Sunday school taught us?
08:34We're put on earth to help others.
08:36Oh.
08:37I wonder what the others are put on earth for.
08:41Please, Rosalie, let's just think.
08:44All right.
08:48Rosalie, I've thought of something.
08:50Foxfur can give you confidence.
08:52I didn't know that.
08:53It must be true.
08:55I heard my mommy say it to my daddy.
08:57And Ted Crane has got a foxtail on his car.
09:00I'll bet that's what gives him all his confidence.
09:03Just a foxtail?
09:05It must look like Lady Elaine's magic scarf.
09:08She gave it to the unknown knight.
09:10And then he had confidence.
09:12And won the Jousting tournament.
09:14That's true.
09:16All we have to do now is get Arthur a foxtail for his car.
09:22These are beautiful fox skins.
09:24I'm sure Mrs. Martin will enjoy wearing her new fur jacket.
09:27Yes.
09:28Well, here I go.
09:29Buying something else on time.
09:31Ready to be a wonderful surprise for my wife.
09:33Surprise?
09:34Well, I guess I'm a little sentimental.
09:37The first jacket I bought for my wife was a surprise.
09:39When she came back from the hospital after little Amy was born,
09:43she found it waiting for her in the closet.
09:44Oh?
09:45Is Mrs. Martin expecting again?
09:48Oh, no, no.
09:50Not even a fur jacket.
09:51Well, you do the enjoy theí• jacket.
09:52Ha ha ha!
09:54Whee!
09:55Yay!
10:31Shopping can be very tiring, especially when you don't buy anything.
10:37The only place that had Foxtel was the auto store.
10:40They were $3.95.
10:43At that price, Arthur will have to get along without confidence.
10:47I don't know why Foxtel should be so expensive.
10:51My mama said she's going to throw her old one away.
10:58I know! Mommy's Fox for a jacket.
11:01What are you going to do?
11:02I can cut a Foxtel for arms out of fat.
11:05Gee, Amy, you're smart.
11:07Rosalie, go get the scissors.
11:09Okay.
11:24Rosalie, there's a skin down the middle that looks almost new.
11:28Free with the scissors.
11:31The whole thing looks almost new.
11:33Your mama's take good care of her things.
11:37Are you sure she was going to throw it out?
11:40Of course.
11:41Mommy said it was ready to fall apart.
11:43I guess she's right.
11:45The fur is very soft.
11:47Give me the scissors.
11:51The middle pin looks the best.
11:59Now, Arthur will have all the confidence he needs.
12:16Don't you think Arthur looks more confident already?
12:19What did you say when you gave him the Foxtel?
12:22Here, Arthur.
12:32Your ankle again, Wilkinson?
12:40That's Wilkinson's ankle again.
12:42He'll be out for the Jefferson City game.
12:44Well, there goes my second-string quarterback.
12:46Worried about Ted Crane.
12:47He's late for practice again.
12:48Our star quarterbacks.
12:51That kid's getting too conceited for his own good.
12:53Yeah.
12:54Well, we've got to get on with it.
12:56Arthur?
12:57Yes, coach.
12:58Put on your helmet.
13:00If you'll Ted Crane get there, you're running the first team.
13:02Yes, sir.
13:13Power sweep right.
13:15Power sweep right on two.
13:17Ready?
13:17All right, man.
13:18Let's go.
13:19Let's go.
13:19Where are you guys?
13:20Go to.
13:21Ready.
13:22Ready.
13:22Get set.
13:23Up one.
13:24Up two.
13:24Up three.
13:25Up three.
13:28I don't think the Foxtel's working too good.
13:32Maybe you should have given him the whole jacket.
13:36Arthur.
13:38Arthur, listen carefully and do exactly what I tell you.
13:41Exactly what you tell me.
13:43Yeah, now look.
13:44When you take the ball from center, hold it like this.
13:46So even if you tackle me hard, you can...
13:53Arthur, I was just trying to show you how to hold the ball.
13:56I'm sorry, coach.
13:58Come on, Rosalie.
14:00We might as well go.
14:02I guess Foxtel's aren't what they're supposed to be.
14:05But, Amy, it was working.
14:08Arthur must have had a lot of confidence to tackle your father.
14:17I've been waiting to take you home because I want to apologize for that tackle.
14:22That's all right, Arthur.
14:23You didn't mean to do it.
14:25I feel so bad about it.
14:26You know, you're my idol and, well, I want to be exactly like you.
14:31I guess that's why I do all those stupid things.
14:34I mean, well, I just get so nervous sitting near you.
14:39Oh, lady, too.
14:40The man who ran that touchdown against Jefferson City.
14:43And the best football player that ever...
14:44It's a little light, Arthur, but just watch your driving, okay?
14:47Oh, oh, yeah, yeah.
14:48But believe me, from now on, I'm not going to do anything to agripy.
14:54Sure.
14:57Say, there's, uh, something about this car that looks different.
15:00It's my new Foxtail.
15:02Oh, yeah.
15:03Hey, it's a beauty.
15:04Thanks.
15:05Looks like genuine fox fur.
15:07Yeah.
15:08But it's just an old one.
15:09Nice color.
15:10You know, I, uh, brought my wife a fox jacket today.
15:14Exactly that color.
15:15Amy gave me this one.
15:16It's a nice present.
15:23Did you say Amy?
15:25Oh, Mr. Martin, you don't think that Amy...
15:28Arthur?
15:29Try faster.
15:31Yes, sir.
15:32Coach.
15:37Amy.
15:38Where did you get this?
15:39From Mommy's old fox jacket.
15:42Oh, what did you do with the rest of the jacket?
15:44In the wastebasket.
15:47Oh, no.
15:51What's going on in here?
15:52Oh, I bought you a new fur jacket.
15:54Your daughter cut it up and gave it to Arthur.
15:56But, Daddy!
15:57Amy, you ought to have sense enough not to do a thing like this.
16:00I did it.
16:01It was my idea.
16:05I cut up the fur jacket.
16:08Bill, there's no real harm done.
16:10The skins are still intact.
16:11I'm sure the fur you can sew them together.
16:13And it was a lovely present.
16:16I should have known that surprises usually backfire.
16:19Why did you say you did it?
16:22They're your parents.
16:24They can't spank me.
16:27Bye, Rockley.
16:34Oh.
16:40Oh, yeah.
16:42Yeah.
16:43Okay, Whitey.
16:45Yeah, thanks.
16:48Is there anything wrong, dear?
16:50Yeah.
16:52Ted Crane's been breaking training.
16:54Whitey found out he's been out after 11.
16:56Practically every night this week.
16:58Oh.
17:00That's one thing I told him I wouldn't tolerate.
17:02Kids on the team are on the honor system to keep that 11 o'clock curfew.
17:05Well, what are you going to do?
17:08I don't know.
17:09I'm morally obliged to drop him from the team,
17:12but I can't win without him.
17:14It would mean losing that raise,
17:17things for you and the children.
17:18We're doing all right.
17:20No, we're not.
17:22I'm just a small-time coach.
17:24Football, basketball, track.
17:26You married a big football hero,
17:28but you didn't get much.
17:31Bill Martin, that's not true.
17:37I admired the football hero,
17:40but I fell in love with the man.
17:45Besides, it's easier to be married to a man than a hero.
17:49Daddy?
17:51Hey, honey.
17:53You're supposed to be in bed.
17:54I couldn't sleep.
17:56Oh, what's the matter?
17:58Tummy ache?
17:59No.
18:00I'm bothered up here.
18:02Daddy, how can you tell what's right or wrong?
18:05Well, I guess it's something called conscience.
18:08What's that?
18:10It's a little voice inside you that tells you.
18:13I guess sometimes it doesn't speak very loud.
18:16No?
18:17I didn't hear it this afternoon.
18:19I think we hear it best in the still of the night.
18:23Bosley said she cuts her coat,
18:25but I didn't.
18:26It was all my fault.
18:28Oh.
18:32How can I teach my own children right from wrong
18:35if I don't practice it myself?
18:39Excuse me a minute, honey.
18:46Arthur?
18:47Arthur?
18:52Yes, coach?
18:53Get back to bed.
18:54You're my starting quarterback tomorrow.
18:56Yes, coach.
19:02Come on, honey.
19:03Let's put you to bed.
19:06I'll be there in a minute.
19:08All right.
19:09Daddy, I tried foxtails,
19:12but they didn't work.
19:14Maybe you can tell me.
19:16How do you get confidence?
19:18Well, it's hard to explain, honey.
19:23All I know is that when I played,
19:25as soon as I put on that jersey,
19:26number 82,
19:28I had all the confidence I needed.
19:36Mr. Martin,
19:36I hope you'll forgive me
19:37for disturbing you
19:38at this hour of the morning.
19:39It's all right.
19:39It's all right.
19:40Go ahead.
19:40Well, you see,
19:40there's so much local interest in the game
19:42that the Elm Grove Sentinel
19:43is very anxious
19:43to get last-minute statement
19:45from both coaches
19:46in time for today's edition.
19:48Now, you see,
19:49we're naturally very high
19:50on the prospects of your team,
19:51so we'd like a statement from you.
19:53Well, we expect to get beaten
19:55about 58 to nothing.
19:56Ha, ha, ha.
19:57All coaches say that.
19:58Yeah, well, believe me,
19:59I mean it.
19:59Yeah, no, you couldn't possibly...
20:01Good morning, Daddy.
20:02Oh, hello, sweetheart.
20:04Yeah, well, you see,
20:05what I want to know
20:06is do you have
20:07any particular plans
20:07for this game?
20:08Yeah, it's to congratulate
20:09the other coach.
20:10No, no, no.
20:11That isn't what I mean.
20:12Bill, I...
20:13Oh, excuse me.
20:14I didn't mean to interrupt.
20:15It's all right.
20:16I'm getting used to it.
20:17Oh, Bill,
20:18what do you think
20:19I ought to wear to the game?
20:20Have you got anything black?
20:24Yeah, Mr. Martin,
20:25if I may say so,
20:26you don't sound very optimistic.
20:27I'm not.
20:28Look, Mr. Ludlow,
20:29I don't have much time.
20:30Do you mind if we continue
20:31this interview while I shave?
20:32Not at all.
20:35Daddy?
20:35Yes, dear?
20:37If you think something
20:38will help someone a lot,
20:40isn't it all right
20:41to borrow that something
20:42for a little while?
20:43Yes, dear, I suppose so.
20:44You were saying, Mr. Ludlow?
20:45Yes, I wanted to know
20:45if you were going to depend
20:46with your passing attack.
20:47I don't know if you were going to...
21:02Coach?
21:06My jersey.
21:07I'm not going to let you down.
21:09I'm not going to let you down
21:09when you've got enough faith in me
21:10to let me wear old 82.
21:12You can't imagine
21:13how surprised I was
21:14when I saw it in my locker today.
21:19Ready, get set, pump one.
21:22Harry, who's that kid
21:22out there wearing number 82?
21:24He's not one of their regulars.
21:26Hut, hut, hut.
21:27Trust old Bill Martin
21:28to pull a fast one like that,
21:30saving his best player
21:31for the big game.
21:32Best player?
21:33Sure, that's Bill Martin's
21:34old jersey.
21:35He wouldn't let that kid
21:36wear it unless he was great.
21:37I've got to do one thing.
21:38Tell our boys to change
21:40all their strategy.
21:41We've got to stop 82
21:42on every play.
21:45Even, ready, set,
21:47pump one.
21:51Hey, I haven't got the ball.
21:53Let me up, guys.
21:55Hey.
22:11Let me up.
22:19Fellas, I still haven't got the ball.
22:36I'm being played for a sucker.
22:38Bill Martin is using
22:39that 82 as a decoy.
22:40Get in here and tell him
22:41to watch those other banks.
22:43Ready, set,
22:44pump one.
22:45Hup, hup, hup.
22:49Hup, hup.
23:20Hopefully, if you're getting
23:20into
23:20After organisers,
23:20he then
23:20wanted to
23:28There, it's straight now.
23:30Well, thank you, darling.
23:32Helen, will you hurry?
23:33We'll be late for the dance.
23:34I'll be ready in a minute, dear.
23:36You know what, Daddy?
23:38Hmm?
23:38What?
23:39You look almost as handsome as Arthur.
23:42Well, I don't think I've ever had a sweeter compliment.
23:45Of course, I'm not as big a hero as Arthur.
23:47After the game today, he's the talk of the school.
23:49I mean, and it's all due to you.
23:51But you mustn't tell him.
23:54Well, why not?
23:55After all, you're the one that put my jersey in his locker.
23:57But he has to think it was you.
23:59That way, he'll keep on having confidence.
24:03I can't take credit for it.
24:04Please, Daddy.
24:06Promise.
24:08All right.
24:09And you can tell him the truth after you marry him.
24:14Well, everybody's behind time tonight.
24:17Yeah, Rosalie isn't even here yet.
24:19Yeah.
24:20Grandmother Peabody said she'd be over to babysit for you and Rosalie and Jonathan.
24:23She's never been late before.
24:25Er, she said it might take her a little time.
24:29I'm ready, dear.
24:30Oh, good.
24:31We can...
24:32Honey, where's the new fox jacket?
24:34You said the furrier could sew the skin back on.
24:36Bill, I didn't want to worry you this morning, but I called him and he said he wouldn't have
24:40time to do it on Saturday.
24:42It's all right.
24:43I don't mind going this way.
24:44Well, I knew everything was too perfect.
24:47Hello?
24:48Oh, good.
24:49She's here.
24:53It's my jacket.
24:55I'm sorry.
24:57It took a little longer to sew than I thought.
24:59Oh, it's beautiful.
25:02Oh, thank you, Mrs. Peabody, for going to so much trouble.
25:05Oh, it was no trouble at all.
25:08Well, how did you get it?
25:10Amy?
25:12Daddy, I knew how much Mommy wanted to wear it.
25:16This is a day for miracles.
25:18Now, you two go along and have fun.
25:21And don't worry about a thing here.
25:24I have the evening all planned for Amy and Rosalie.
25:31You look beautiful.
25:32Oh, thank you, dear.
25:36Well, I don't think a man could ask for more.
25:38A queen, a princess, and a fairy godmother.
26:08Your parents dance pretty good for all people.
26:10I still don't see Arthur.
26:14There he is now.
26:23You had to make him a hero.
26:26Now he's dancing with that Debbie Benson.
26:29She's the town slurt.
26:32Fosley, don't you know anything about life?
26:36Men never marry those kind of girls.
26:44Aren't you glad that you met her?
26:48Can you ever more get her?
26:51Maybe you'll adore Amy forever.
26:55Who knows?
26:57Anywhere her footsteps lead, that's where the sun is bound to shine.
27:03She can make a rainy day seem fair.
27:07And every little care seems fine.
27:10Birds are singing for Amy.
27:14Bells are ringing for Amy.
27:17Spring is ringing for Amy.
27:20Wherever she goes.
