00:00:12The End
00:00:41The End
00:01:08The End
00:01:47This is Postal Union with a personal greeting from Mr. and Mrs. James Travers.
00:01:51It was fifty years ago today
00:01:55You said love, honor, and obey
00:01:59A union half a century old
00:02:03Must surely have been wrought in gold
00:02:07The message is signed, Harry.
00:02:24If you think I'm going to put up with this any longer, you're crazy.
00:02:26Oh, I'm crazy now.
00:02:28Who says you're crazy?
00:02:29You did.
00:02:29I did not. I simply said...
00:02:30Shut up.
00:02:31Hello?
00:02:32This is Postal Union with a personal greeting from Mr. and Mrs. James Monaco.
00:02:36Now that you are man and wife
00:02:39I wish you joy in married life
00:02:43I'm sick and tired of this continual fighting.
00:02:45What?
00:02:46There's nothing quite so sweet as this
00:02:50The joy that comes with wedded bliss
00:02:53Don't you dare do that! Don't you dare!
00:03:02Here's your man, Mr. Barrett
00:03:04Now, Denny
00:03:05Our friend Mr. Barrett wants you to sing a birthday greeting to his father
00:03:08All right, what's the telephone number?
00:03:10No, no, it has to be sung in person
00:03:13What do you mean, tonight?
00:03:14Well, it'll have to be tonight as birthday is over at midnight
00:03:19Well, can't somebody else handle this?
00:03:20I got a date tonight
00:03:21For Mr. Cyrus Barrett Senior, your date will have to wait
00:03:24Now, look
00:03:25Here's what I want you to do
00:03:27You go to this address
00:03:29And you sing happy birthday to my dear old father
00:03:33Now, don't let anything stop you
00:03:34You just go right in and sing it to him
00:03:37Tell him it's from his loving son
00:03:41Is it okay if I stop for a few minutes on the way?
00:03:43Yeah, but don't be too long
00:03:45All right
00:03:46Oh, and listen
00:03:48Listen
00:03:48When you sing, give it out good and strong
00:03:51It's all wrong with feeling
00:03:51You sure you wouldn't rather have me sing sweet Adeline?
00:03:54No, no, no, no
00:03:55Happy birthday
00:03:56Happy birthday
00:03:57Okay
00:03:58Sometimes I feel like a cross between a nightingale and a carrier pigeon
00:04:02Me, me, me, me, me, me, me
00:04:04La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
00:04:07You know
00:04:08This is going to be very good
00:04:10Yeah
00:04:10My father hates music and he particularly hates singers
00:04:14It'll be funny, will it?
00:04:16Very funny
00:04:16Just a thought, that's all
00:04:18Just a thought
00:04:24calling, Mr. Robbins
00:04:26Mr. Robinson, please
00:04:28Hi, Denny
00:04:29Hello, small fry
00:04:30How's everything?
00:04:31Okay, how are you?
00:04:32Can't complain
00:04:32Can't complain
00:04:34What's doing, Gate?
00:04:35Oh, fine, Denny
00:04:36How's it with you?
00:04:37Oh, can't complain
00:04:37Can't complain at all
00:04:39Hotel Raleigh
00:04:40I'll get him for you
00:04:43Are you new here?
00:04:44Am I being too fresh?
00:04:45No to the first question
00:04:46Yes, to the second
00:04:47Your face is very familiar
00:04:49Have you ever been to Atlantic City?
00:04:50Have you?
00:04:51Yes.
00:04:51Then I haven't.
00:04:53What do you do with your evenings?
00:04:55Some I spend, some I pass.
00:04:57You know all the answers, don't you?
00:04:59I should.
00:05:00I sit here all day.
00:05:01Hotel Raleigh.
00:05:02Girlie, you're much too beautiful to work.
00:05:05Now, if you'd only listen to me,
00:05:07you could loll around all day on a velvet couch,
00:05:09eating bonbons until you've got as big as a house.
00:05:13Oh, Denny, you're such a fool.
00:05:15Rat.
00:05:16Discovered.
00:05:17Hotel Raleigh.
00:05:18I'll connect you.
00:05:21Why the official chapeau?
00:05:23Postal Union brings you sad tidings.
00:05:26Oh, not overtime again.
00:05:28I won't be long, though.
00:05:28If you'll just pull in your belt for an hour,
00:05:30we could still have my bachelor dinner together.
00:05:32Are you sure you don't want to spend the evening
00:05:33with Nicky and the boys?
00:05:35Oh, positive.
00:05:36I know all their jokes by heart.
00:05:38Besides, I want to have one last dinner with you
00:05:40while we're both single.
00:05:41Oh, Denny, I can hardly believe it's true.
00:05:45Oh, it's true all right this time.
00:05:47There's the license.
00:05:47Don't lose that.
00:05:48Oh, no chance.
00:05:50It goes right in the vault with the rest of my important papers.
00:05:54Hotel Raleigh.
00:05:56So long, dear.
00:05:58Mercury flies on winged feet.
00:06:04I used to pose for bookends.
00:06:08Are you happy, honey?
00:06:10Very happy.
00:06:11Is he one of the reasons?
00:06:13He's all of the reasons.
00:06:15Hotel Raleigh.
00:06:16Do my sensitive ears detect again the distant chime of your wedding bells?
00:06:20Yes.
00:06:21It's all set for tomorrow morning.
00:06:22Congratulations.
00:06:24If I remember correctly, this is the third time my congratulations have been premature.
00:06:28Fourth.
00:06:29Only this time it's really going to happen.
00:06:32I see.
00:06:33And may I tell my radio audience what the charming bride is wearing?
00:06:37Oh, wait till it's over.
00:06:38Then I'll tell you all about it.
00:06:40If you do, it'll be the first thing you've ever told me.
00:06:42You know, Mary, if you wanted to be nice, I could write half my broadcast from what
00:06:46comes over your switchboard.
00:06:47My business is connecting people, not separating them.
00:06:50Hotel Raleigh.
00:06:53That's a very good line.
00:06:55If you listen tomorrow night, you'll hear it.
00:06:57By the way, why don't you drop down to one of my broadcasts?
00:07:00Then we can go back here to my apartment and have a bite of supper.
00:07:03Oh, I'd love to.
00:07:04Ah, now we're getting somewhere.
00:07:06Honey, I don't think Jenny'd like your apartment.
00:07:08I see.
00:07:10Well, I'll keep trying.
00:07:13You have the wrong number.
00:07:21Postal Union, I have a personal greeting from Mr. Barrett.
00:07:23Mr. Barrett is engaged at present.
00:07:26You'll have to wait.
00:07:32Why, Denny!
00:07:34Mona Parker!
00:07:35I had no idea you were...
00:07:36Shh!
00:07:36I'll talk to you later.
00:07:40Ah.
00:07:42Sit down, Mona.
00:07:43You know my attorneys, Mr. Fisher, Mr. Loftus.
00:07:46How do you do?
00:07:47Yes, we've met.
00:07:48Mr. Barrett tells me that you've decided on a trial separation from his son.
00:07:53Yes, I have.
00:07:54Well, perhaps you're right, Mona.
00:07:56I admit Cyrus has behaved very badly.
00:07:58Drinking and running around.
00:08:00May I point out, Mr. Barrett, that you're responsible?
00:08:03I beg your pardon?
00:08:06You've tried to run our lives as well as your own.
00:08:08And it just hasn't worked out.
00:08:10Well, I meant well by both of you.
00:08:12If Cyrus loves me, he'll come to his senses and straighten himself out.
00:08:17And if he doesn't, well, then we just don't belong together, that's all.
00:08:20That's certainly a reasonable way of looking at it.
00:08:23What's happened between you two is no business of mine.
00:08:26I'm only concerned with one thing.
00:08:28I know what you're going to say.
00:08:30If I leave my baby here, you'll offer me a settlement.
00:08:33Is that right?
00:08:35I knew you were a smart girl.
00:08:37You're doing the proper thing in considering the welfare of your child first.
00:08:41I know it.
00:08:42That's why I'm taking him with me.
00:08:44You'll do as I say, if you know what's good for you.
00:08:48Of course, you know there are legal means
00:08:49by which Mr. Barrett may obtain custody of the child.
00:08:52I'm warning you.
00:08:53You'd better accept a settlement.
00:08:55I've supported myself before.
00:08:57I can do it again.
00:08:58You've no right to deprive that child of the things that I can give it.
00:09:01There's one thing you've forgotten.
00:09:04I happen to be the child's mother.
00:09:06I think she's absolutely right.
00:09:09Who are you?
00:09:10I'm Danny Martin, Postal Union.
00:09:13What do you want?
00:09:14Well, I have a personal greeting for you, sir.
00:09:18Happy birthday to you.
00:09:20Happy birthday to you.
00:09:22Happy birthday, dear father.
00:09:26Happy birthday to you.
00:09:29Signed your loving son.
00:09:31Get out of here.
00:09:32Okay.
00:09:33But I still think she's right.
00:09:36Go on.
00:09:36Get out of here.
00:09:37I'm going.
00:09:38I can take a hint.
00:09:41Get out of here.
00:09:55Hello.
00:09:57Hello.
00:09:58Who's it?
00:09:59Nicky.
00:10:01What do you want?
00:10:02Orange juice, ham and eggs, toast and coffee.
00:10:05Okay.
00:10:26Hello?
00:10:27Hello, sleepyhead.
00:10:29This is the bride.
00:10:30Oh, hello there, earlier than me.
00:10:33I'm down at the corner grocery store.
00:10:35Mm-hmm.
00:10:36Is there anything special you and your little roommate
00:10:38would like for our wedding breakfast?
00:10:39Look, honey, why don't you surprise us this morning?
00:10:42All right.
00:10:43I'll surprise you.
00:10:44Now, you put the coffee on.
00:10:45I'll be right up.
00:10:46It's practically boiling.
00:10:47Hurry up now.
00:10:48Huh?
00:10:48Okay.
00:10:51Come on, Tavaric.
00:10:53Get off that cloud.
00:10:53This is my wedding day.
00:10:55Come on.
00:10:57My horse wins and pays 50 to 1.
00:11:00And before I can collect the money, you wake me up.
00:11:03What's the difference?
00:11:04You'd have lost it back in the next race anyway.
00:11:07That's the trouble with you.
00:11:08Your dream horses are all nightmares.
00:11:17Nice looking pair of pajamas for a best man.
00:11:19Say, what are you beefing about?
00:11:21Since when does the best man have to wear fancy pajamas?
00:11:24The very idea, best man.
00:11:28That's silly anyhow.
00:11:29If the best man's the best man,
00:11:31why does the bride marry the groom?
00:11:33Hey, you've been drinking my hair tonic again?
00:11:36Ooh.
00:11:38Ah, you lovely little scallions.
00:11:40Some day you'll grow up to be big, strong onions.
00:11:44Ow!
00:11:45Ow!
00:11:47Denny, my garden is getting beautiful.
00:11:50I love gardening.
00:11:51There's nothing like getting close to the soil.
00:11:54A garden does something to me.
00:11:59Say, Nicky, how's your garden?
00:12:01Do I have to go through all that again?
00:12:04Well, that must be Mary.
00:12:06Let her in, will ya?
00:12:07Yeah.
00:12:14Ah, Mary!
00:12:19Isn't this a perfect day for a wedding?
00:12:22Mary, I hate to tell you this,
00:12:23but last night I cast your horoscope
00:12:25and the stars are against you.
00:12:27What kind of nonsense is that?
00:12:29It's not nonsense.
00:12:30Look, you are Sagittarius and Denny is Libra.
00:12:33Now, it just happens that the moon is in Midheaven
00:12:35and Mars is in the Ascendant.
00:12:37That part is all right.
00:12:38Well?
00:12:39But the trouble is that today,
00:12:41Pluto is in conjunction with Uranus.
00:12:43Oh, what does all that mean?
00:12:45That you should postpone the wedding.
00:12:47Mars and Uranus, you can push around,
00:12:49but never fool with Pluto.
00:12:53Why don't you ask the stars when you're gonna get a job?
00:12:55Well, I did, and they told me not to even try until 1942.
00:13:00Well, that's not so long.
00:13:01Hello, Mary.
00:13:02You look swell.
00:13:03How can you tell?
00:13:04You can't even see me.
00:13:06Who has to see you?
00:13:08You always look swell.
00:13:09Flatterer, I bet that's what you say to all your cooks.
00:13:12Hey, Nicky.
00:13:14How about plucking a few of your chives for the scrambled eggs?
00:13:17Oh, my little chives.
00:13:18They're so young.
00:13:19Well, they'll never be any younger.
00:13:31What is that you're singing?
00:13:33The Russian harvest song.
00:13:37Honey, there ought to be a girl like you in every kitchen.
00:13:40That's for free.
00:13:41And very good, too.
00:13:42What are you featuring here this morning?
00:13:43Scrambled eggs and chives.
00:13:45Ah, wedding breakfast fit for a king.
00:13:47Thank you, Your Majesty.
00:13:48Will you pause?
00:13:49A pleasure.
00:13:51Ah, this is for me.
00:13:52The old domestic life.
00:13:54I love it.
00:13:55If I were a dreamer, Mary, do you know what I'd dream about?
00:13:58No, tell me.
00:13:59A little place out in the country with about two acres of ground.
00:14:02Room enough for some chickens and have a big dog, maybe.
00:14:06Right in the middle of it, the kind of a cottage you read about in storybooks.
00:14:10Oh, Denny, that sounds lovely.
00:14:12I think we'd all be very happy.
00:14:17Well, listen here, Tovarich.
00:14:20When Mrs. Martin and I return to the estate after the wedding, it won't be a bachelor's apartment anymore.
00:14:25You catch on?
00:14:26I think I understand.
00:14:28Here's to the bride and groom.
00:14:30May all your little ones be troubled.
00:14:32Oh, no.
00:14:32I haven't any troubles.
00:14:33I'm healthy.
00:14:34I'm happy.
00:14:35I've got a wonderful girl and a wonderful job.
00:14:38Uh, will you pardon me, please?
00:14:44Telegram for Mr. Denny Martin.
00:14:45That's me.
00:14:46Thanks.
00:14:46You're welcome.
00:14:47How about this?
00:14:48Somebody's sending us congratulations even before we're married.
00:14:53Oh, Denny, I hope you didn't forget to tell the boss you want the day off.
00:14:57Looks like I won't have to ask for the day off.
00:14:59You won't?
00:15:00Why not?
00:15:01Here, honey.
00:15:01You better read it.
00:15:15Oh, Denny.
00:15:17I told you that'd get you into trouble.
00:15:20It's a fine sense of humor, huh?
00:15:21A fella fires you and sends in on a greeting blank.
00:15:24There, you see?
00:15:25That old devil Pluto.
00:15:30Every time you try to help somebody, you get it in the neck.
00:15:32Well, it's all right, honey.
00:15:33When Mona was on the stage, she tried to get me a job.
00:15:36She's a good scout.
00:15:37I'm glad I did what I did, but I guess I just got carried away, that's all.
00:15:41I understand you meant well, Denny.
00:15:43I just feel badly because we have to postpone our wedding again.
00:15:48Why?
00:15:50You know we can't get married unless you're working.
00:15:52Be practical.
00:15:53Oh, I'm tired of being practical.
00:15:55I want to get married.
00:15:57I wish you two would make up your minds.
00:15:59From unpacking and packing, my clothes are getting all worn out.
00:16:18Some search for solace in a sad and somber song, and delve into the depths of that dominion.
00:16:29While others thrive on things that terrify the throng, I guess it's just a matter of opinion.
00:16:41Could I say sing a song of sunbeams Let the notes fall where they may
00:16:50Won't sing a song like sunbeams In a light, fantastic way
00:16:56So the blues you're busy That you just can't be annoyed
00:17:01And they'll up and go, cause they know they're null and void.
00:17:09People all are suckers for a drink.
00:17:15You give out, they're gonna give in.
00:17:24People always love a jolly jam.
00:17:28Keep moving, keep moving, come on, get out.
00:17:30They might even make you president.
00:17:36Why don't you sing a song of sunbeams?
00:17:40Let the notes fall where they may.
00:17:43Sing a song of sunbeams in a light, fantastic way.
00:17:50Life is never perfect, but it isn't always wrong.
00:17:56So the only thing to do is sing a sunbeams song.
00:18:09There we are.
00:18:11How much is that?
00:18:12Oh, there's no charge, madam.
00:18:13No charge?
00:18:14This is a new service of the Sunbeam Cab Company to promote goodwill and increase business.
00:18:18If you liked it, please tell your friends.
00:18:20Well, I never heard of such a thing.
00:18:21Well, it's a new idea, you see.
00:18:23Catching my cab is like grabbing the brass ring on a merry-go-round.
00:18:26You get a free ride and music with it.
00:18:29I think it's wonderful.
00:18:30And I enjoyed your singing very much.
00:18:32Have you ever heard Martinelli?
00:18:34Oh, yes.
00:18:35Of course, he's good, too, but he hasn't got a cab.
00:18:52Hello, darling.
00:18:54How's the voice with the smile?
00:18:55Don't change the subject.
00:18:56What subject?
00:18:57The one I'm thinking of, silly.
00:18:59How's the new job?
00:19:00Oh, it's great.
00:19:01Knocked out 26 smiles, 84 courses, and two high finishes today.
00:19:05Oh, I hope it lasts.
00:19:07I hope my pipes do, too.
00:19:09It's really wonderful, though, honey.
00:19:10I've stepped up in the world.
00:19:11It's not a job.
00:19:12It's a position.
00:19:13I sit, I ride, and I sing into a real live audience.
00:19:17Yeah, but not to more than four people at a time.
00:19:19Well, that's still better than singing into a telephone.
00:19:21At least they can't hang up on me.
00:19:23That's progress.
00:19:24How much more money are you getting a week?
00:19:26You know, honey, this is the first real chance I've ever had.
00:19:29How much more are you getting?
00:19:30Over two million people a day riding taxis in this town.
00:19:33Just think of it.
00:19:33The chances are two million to one in my favor.
00:19:36Just a minute.
00:19:38Are you going to tell me how much more money you're getting a week?
00:19:40Well, it's not exactly more.
00:19:43Oh, you're getting the same salary?
00:19:45No, no, not exactly the same.
00:19:47How much?
00:19:49Well, it's two dollars a week less.
00:19:52Two dollars a week less?
00:19:54Oh, you are stepping up in the world.
00:19:56Two more steps like that, and you'll be right at the bottom.
00:19:59Well, anyhow, it's a job, and we can get married tomorrow morning.
00:20:02Tomorrow's Friday the 13th.
00:20:04Well, Saturday morning, then.
00:20:05We'll have the whole weekend for a honeymoon.
00:20:07Let's make it Saturday night after work.
00:20:09We can use that extra day's pay.
00:20:11Oh, there you go again.
00:20:12Putting money ahead of romance.
00:20:14Well, you know what happened the last time you asked for the day off.
00:20:16That's history.
00:20:19Oh, look.
00:20:24Isn't that sweet?
00:20:25Oh, Denny, do you think we'll ever save enough money for a room like that?
00:20:29Who wants a room like that?
00:20:31Can you imagine me in a bed that size?
00:20:33Look at that cute little chair.
00:20:34And the wallpaper.
00:20:36Of course, we'd have to put something in the corner.
00:20:38That looks like a perfect spot for a bar.
00:20:41Oh, what do you know about babies?
00:20:42I know a lot about babies.
00:20:44Matter of fact, I used to be one.
00:20:45Sometimes to hear you talk like that, I think you don't even like them.
00:20:48Of course, I like babies.
00:20:50I like horses, too, but I wouldn't want to live with one.
00:20:53Besides, what's so wonderful about having children?
00:20:56A fella and a girl get married, and they have a baby.
00:20:58They give it all their attention, make a lot of sacrifices,
00:21:01the baby grows up, marries, and what have you got left?
00:21:04Just a few faded photographs of that day at Coney Island.
00:21:07It's no good.
00:21:08Your father wouldn't like to hear you say that.
00:21:10My father is the one who told me that.
00:21:13Oh, he did?
00:21:14Well, my mother told me different.
00:21:17Of course, she would.
00:21:18Oh, wait till you're pushing your own four-wheeler through Central Park.
00:21:21You'll sing a different tune.
00:21:23The only four-wheeler I'm going to push will be that cab of mine if it breaks down.
00:21:27That's telling her, buddy.
00:21:30The voice of experience.
00:21:35Well, there you are.
00:21:38Now, look, Nicky seems to be doing a good business tonight, huh?
00:21:41You'll sing.
00:21:41Well, then, let's get out of the way.
00:21:42Let me thank you.
00:21:44Where is he?
00:21:46Well, look.
00:21:49Hey, Copernicus, wake up.
00:21:51Come on in.
00:21:52Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:21:53What's the matter with you here?
00:21:55You're losing a fortune.
00:21:56Everyone's taking a free look.
00:21:57They can put their look in this end,
00:21:59but from this end, it don't come out.
00:22:02Oh, it's all right.
00:22:05Hey, Nicky, what's this?
00:22:08What's the idea?
00:22:10Why'd you cut your price in half?
00:22:11Tonight is only half moon.
00:22:14Well, pack up the stars and the moon.
00:22:15Let's go get some deed, huh?
00:22:17Why should a man eat?
00:22:19To live.
00:22:20Why should a man live?
00:22:22Order me the same as you.
00:22:32Well, what's going on here tonight?
00:22:34I don't know.
00:22:34Mark Kelly's never had music before.
00:22:36Ah, sad music.
00:22:37It's like Russia.
00:22:38Now I can be depressed while I eat.
00:22:56Oh, hello, children.
00:22:58How's the crusading tuba door tonight?
00:23:00The cruising troubadour, Mrs. Kelly,
00:23:02and he's doing all right.
00:23:03I see you've kind of gone musical yourself.
00:23:05Oh, that?
00:23:06Why, that's one of them society playboys on a toot.
00:23:09He's feeling terribly sorry for himself.
00:23:11How do you like that?
00:23:12He carries his own band to a restaurant.
00:23:14That's so the band can carry him home.
00:23:18What'll it be tonight, kids?
00:23:19The daily special?
00:23:20That's right.
00:23:20One of Mrs. Kelly's mighty hamburgers.
00:23:22Pitch till you win.
00:23:23Ah, then it's practically here.
00:23:26With the sun and moon and Gemini
00:23:28and Jupiter at Midheaven,
00:23:30Mercury looks at Saturn,
00:23:32and the first race is at two o'clock.
00:23:34Now, if the moon was in Scorpio
00:23:37and Saturn in conjunction with the sun,
00:23:40how can the second horse lose?
00:23:45Hello, Nicky.
00:23:47Ah, my angels.
00:23:53Oh, romance?
00:23:55No, finance.
00:23:56He wants Mamie to invest her savings
00:23:58in his system for betting the races.
00:24:00There goes Mamie,
00:24:01out of the frying pan into the bread line.
00:24:03Ha, ha, ha.
00:24:10That's great.
00:24:12Play it again and again and again.
00:24:14Say, wait a minute.
00:24:16Haven't you had enough sad music?
00:24:18Let's play something else for a change.
00:24:20Oh, hello there.
00:24:23Say, that's young Barrett.
00:24:25The man who had you fired?
00:24:26No, his son.
00:24:28You see that?
00:24:30Sure, I see that.
00:24:31Do you know what that is?
00:24:32A match.
00:24:33No, no, no.
00:24:35What's the Statue of Liberty hold?
00:24:37Why, a torch.
00:24:38That's right.
00:24:39That's what I'm carrying.
00:24:41The White Man's Burden.
00:24:43Hello, Mr. Barrett.
00:24:44Ah, my postal union friend.
00:24:47Hiya.
00:24:48Hiya.
00:24:48I'm fine.
00:24:50That's good.
00:24:50You know, I lost my job last night.
00:24:52Oh, that's bad.
00:24:54Well, I got a better one this morning.
00:24:55Oh, now, that's good.
00:24:57I'm going to get married Saturday.
00:24:59Oh, that's bad.
00:25:01Hey, wait, wait a minute.
00:25:02I want you to meet Miss Wilson.
00:25:04This is the young lady I'm going to marry.
00:25:05How do you do?
00:25:07Now, that's good.
00:25:09Say, Mr. Barrett, could I speak to you for a minute?
00:25:12Now, you can stop me if you've heard this.
00:25:14Oh, you got a new story?
00:25:15No, no, it's an old story, and you've probably heard it before.
00:25:18But here's how it goes.
00:25:20Most scientists agree that one of the few things that can't be preserved in alcohol is a happy home.
00:25:26Oh, I get it.
00:25:28As a matter of fact, I've come to somewhat the same conclusion.
00:25:31Lori wants a few more drinks and a few more tunes to put out the torch.
00:25:37Play, boys.
00:25:38Now, you're never going to put out the torch with the kind of music they've been playing.
00:25:42That's right.
00:25:43Denny, you give him something lively.
00:25:44Cheer him up.
00:25:45Now, listen, Mrs. Kelly.
00:25:46I parked my voice when I parked my cab, but if you think it'll do any good, I'll break down.
00:25:50Why, sure, it'll do him good.
00:25:52All right, boys.
00:25:53Right after lunch, play Hickory Limp.
00:25:55Okay, buddy.
00:25:56You started, Joe.
00:25:57We'll meet you at the chorus.
00:26:01You know, I was looking through a book of old quotations, and I came across the subject of romance.
00:26:10When the poets and the sages wrote the wisdom of the ages, they gave the lover only half a chance.
00:26:21For every bit of pleasure there'll be pain If you feel that's no bargain, then abstain
00:26:34Hang your heart on a hickory limb When love is passing by Then you won't know the sadness in a
00:26:43sigh
00:26:46Hang your heart on a hickory limb When spring is in the air Then you won't be a victim of
00:26:55despair
00:26:58You can laugh at sweethearts Who's sorrow and swoon
00:27:03They're so romantic They trusted the moon
00:27:09Hang your heart upon a hickory limb Unless you feel like me
00:27:15That love is worth the pain That love is worth the trouble it can be
00:27:24Hang your heart on a hickory limb When love is passing by
00:27:30Hang your heart on a hickory limb When love is passing by
00:27:33Hang your heart on a hickory limb When spring is in the air
00:27:42Hang your heart on a hickory limb Then you won't be a victim of despair
00:27:45Then you won't be a victim of despair You can laugh at sweethearts
00:27:53Who's sorrow and swoon They're so romantic
00:28:05They trusted the moon They trusted the moon
00:28:11Hang your heart on a hickory limb Unless you feel like me
00:28:16That love is worth the trouble it can be
00:28:23Hang your heart upon a hickory When love passes by
00:28:28You won't be a victim of despair You won't sigh
00:28:32Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do Hang your heart upon a hickory limb
00:28:36If you feel like me
00:28:36Spring is in the air We're so happy when skies are blue
00:28:40And spring is making me care Beware
00:28:44Laugh at silly sweethearts
00:28:47They are romantic They trusted the man in the moon
00:28:55Hang your heart upon a hickory limb
00:28:57Unless you feel like me
00:29:00For love is worth the trouble it can be
00:29:14Hey!
00:29:37Hey!
00:30:03You can laugh at sweethearts whose sorrow ensued
00:30:08They are romantic, they trusted the man in the moon
00:30:16So hang your heart on a hickory limb
00:30:20Unless you feel like me
00:30:24That love is worth the trouble it can be
00:30:39Thanks, pal.
00:30:40That was a real tonic.
00:30:42This is positively my last bender.
00:30:45And tomorrow I'm going to some health farm and get a lot of good fresh air.
00:30:49Now you're talking.
00:30:50Hello, Mr. Barrett.
00:30:52Well, I've been looking for you all over town.
00:30:55Is that so?
00:30:56Well, you've found me, so what?
00:30:59Your little domestic squabble is going to land you in the headlines.
00:31:02I thought I might be able to present your side of the story.
00:31:05Don't be so good to me.
00:31:06Oh, it isn't a question of being good to you, my boy.
00:31:10After all, your father is my sponsor.
00:31:12I'd like to do him a favor if I could.
00:31:15Now, what is to become of your wife and baby?
00:31:17Why don't you talk to your sponsor?
00:31:20He's arranging everything.
00:31:22Well, I can see we're not getting anywhere.
00:31:24So I guess I'll just have to do the best I can.
00:31:27Good night.
00:31:30Ah, my siren of the switchboard.
00:31:33Are you happy, honey?
00:31:34Why don't you go play with your microphone?
00:31:37There speaks the voice of love.
00:31:38And a wiser man than I once said,
00:31:41Love is intoxication.
00:31:43Marriage, the headache.
00:31:45And divorce, the aspirin tablet.
00:31:49I beg your pardon.
00:31:51You fascinate me.
00:31:53Would you mind telling me what is your birthday?
00:31:55Why, not at all.
00:31:56According to the annals of the DeWolf family,
00:31:58I entered this veil of tears one bright April 25th.
00:32:02Just as I thought.
00:32:04Taurus the Bull.
00:32:10Although the only pain to do is sin,
00:32:15a sunbeam song.
00:32:25How much, please?
00:32:26Oh, no charge, madam.
00:32:27Good old sunbeam service.
00:32:29Oh, well, then I'll have to give you something for yourself.
00:32:33Hey, Denny.
00:32:34Huh?
00:32:35I thought you weren't allowed to take tips.
00:32:37Well, the customer's always right, you know.
00:32:40Taxi, please.
00:32:45Will you wait just a minute, please?
00:32:46There's someone else coming.
00:32:47Certainly, ma'am.
00:32:54Go to the Federal Broadcasting Station, please.
00:32:56Yes, ma'am.
00:33:01This will come after the first commercial.
00:33:03Manhattan Hot Drops, colon.
00:33:06The hurrying home of Drongs on Fifth Avenue yesterday afternoon.
00:33:10What was that last?
00:33:12Fifth Avenue yesterday afternoon.
00:33:13Yes.
00:33:14We're not disturbed by the somewhat ordinary spectacle.
00:33:20Uh...
00:33:21Show the blues you're busy
00:33:23That you just can't be annoyed
00:33:27What did I just give you?
00:33:29The somewhat ordinary spectacle.
00:33:30Oh, yes.
00:33:31By the somewhat ordinary spectacle.
00:33:35People all are suckers for a grin.
00:33:40Just a minute, please.
00:33:43At the risk of being rude, could I ask you to postpone your vocalizing?
00:33:46I like singing, old boy, but not while I'm dictating.
00:33:50Listen, Mr. DeWolf.
00:33:51This would be a better world if there was more singing and less dictating.
00:33:58To the readers of the Daily Press, a word of advice.
00:34:01Do not be misled by the garbled accounts of the impending separation of the socially prominent Cyrus Barrett, Jr.
00:34:07Some of my less accurate colleagues have given unfounded reports of this separation,
00:34:11which, believe me, is an amicable one.
00:34:14This was confirmed only last night by none other than Cyrus Barrett, Jr. himself,
00:34:18whom I interviewed in a lesser known eatery,
00:34:20despite the vocal interruption of one Denny Martin.
00:34:24Martin is my candidate for public nuisance, number one.
00:34:27He is a sunbeam cab driver who adds to the hazards of traffic by singing to his passengers.
00:34:34If they must pass laws, why not pass one against cruising troubadours like Martin?
00:34:40And that farelessness must satisfy your news appetite for the nonce.
00:34:46Denny, please don't be upset by what he said.
00:34:48Oh, I'm not upset.
00:34:49Every knock's a boost, you know.
00:34:51Yeah, I know.
00:34:53And it doesn't matter what anybody says about you as long as they spell your name right.
00:34:58Yeah, that's right.
00:35:00You putting it finished, honey?
00:35:01I got about two more hours of cruising.
00:35:03And furthermore, when a man as big as DeWolf even mentions your name,
00:35:07you never can tell what'll happen.
00:35:09Yeah, that's just what I'm afraid of.
00:35:11I'm sure, Mr. Barrett, everything is going to be all right.
00:35:14I hope so.
00:35:15Mr. Loftus.
00:35:16Good evening, Mr. Barrett.
00:35:18Good evening, J.F.
00:35:19Ah, Loftus.
00:35:19Did you get that order?
00:35:20Indeed, I did.
00:35:22Now, this is a temporary order,
00:35:23placing your grandchild in your custody,
00:35:26pending the court hearing.
00:35:28And this is another temporary order,
00:35:31restraining Mrs. Barrett from removing the child
00:35:33from the jurisdiction of the court.
00:35:35That means, of course, that she can't take it out of the state.
00:35:37That's fine.
00:35:39Give yourself a brandy, Loftus.
00:35:41Ah, let me compliment you gentlemen on the way you handle things.
00:35:45Everything's working out as I planned.
00:35:47So far, so good, eh?
00:35:49Mr. Barrett!
00:35:50Mr. Barrett!
00:35:51What is it?
00:35:52Oh, Mr. Barrett, it's terrible.
00:35:54I don't know how to tell you.
00:35:55What's happened?
00:35:56The baby.
00:35:57It's gone.
00:35:58What?
00:35:59I was only out of the nursery for five minutes.
00:36:01I went downstairs to the linen room.
00:36:02Where's Mrs. Barrett?
00:36:03I don't know, sir.
00:36:04Oh, I'm so upset.
00:36:05Oh!
00:36:06If that child's gone, somebody will pay for it.
00:36:08Now, take it easy, Mr. Barrett.
00:36:10You don't seem to know what this means to me.
00:36:12I understand perfectly.
00:36:13I won't find out what's been going on around here.
00:36:15It's really not my fault.
00:36:16Shut up!
00:36:17Maybe Mrs. Barrett took the baby out for a walk.
00:36:20Walk?
00:36:20The baby's only ten months old.
00:36:22Go to the entire house.
00:36:23Search everywhere.
00:36:24Don't excite yourself, Mr. Barrett.
00:36:26I'll never forgive myself for this.
00:36:29Gone.
00:36:30The baby's gone.
00:36:30Impossible.
00:36:31We have a court order.
00:36:33If that woman's responsible, I'll have her put in prison.
00:36:36Murder!
00:36:37Murder!
00:36:39She's taken the baby.
00:36:40She found out what we were going to do.
00:36:42I'm not going to let her get away with that.
00:36:44Pardon, Mr. Barrett.
00:36:45Might I make a suggestion?
00:36:46No, you keep out of this.
00:36:48Now listen, J.F., I'll call my friend the commissioner.
00:36:51No, no, Arthur.
00:36:52That's not the proper procedure.
00:36:53No, keep quiet, all of you.
00:36:55I give the orders here.
00:36:56Now, here's what we've got to do.
00:36:58First, the police mustn't be told a word.
00:37:00There's to be no scandal.
00:37:02Higgins, see that none of the servants leave the house.
00:37:04Very good, sir.
00:37:06Get the best detective agency in town.
00:37:08Tell them to spare no expense
00:37:10and put on every available man they have.
00:37:12I don't care what it costs or how they do it.
00:37:14But they've got to find that woman.
00:37:17Hello, Sunbeam Cab Company.
00:37:20Could you tell me where I can get in touch with Denny Martin?
00:37:23Yes, your cruising troubadour.
00:37:25That's pretty hard to say, lady.
00:37:27You might try the fry and pan restaurant.
00:37:30Denny hasn't been here tonight.
00:37:31Why don't you try the Hotel Raleigh?
00:37:34If you come up here and wait,
00:37:36you'll be almost sure to catch it.
00:37:39Denny?
00:37:45Well, hello there.
00:37:46Hello, Denny.
00:37:47Could I talk to you about something?
00:37:49It's terribly important.
00:37:50Oh, certainly.
00:37:50Go right ahead.
00:37:51Oh, but not here.
00:37:53Can't we find someplace that's quieter?
00:37:55Well, I guess so.
00:37:56Hop in.
00:37:57Thanks.
00:38:13Well, how's this?
00:38:14It's about the quietest place in New York.
00:38:16Thanks, Denny.
00:38:17I know you're wondering what this is all about.
00:38:19Oh, yes.
00:38:20To tell the truth, I am a little curious.
00:38:22I heard Claudius DeWolf's broadcast last night.
00:38:25So did I.
00:38:26He said you were with my husband.
00:38:28Denny, I've got to find him.
00:38:29Have you any idea where he is?
00:38:31Well, if he's drinking again,
00:38:32he could be in any one of 50 night spots.
00:38:34But last I saw him,
00:38:35he said he was going to a health farm to sober up.
00:38:38A health farm?
00:38:39Mm-hmm.
00:38:39Did he say which one?
00:38:41No, no, he didn't say that.
00:38:42But why is old man Barrett kicking up a row again?
00:38:45Oh, it's much worse than that.
00:38:47He's getting a court order to take the baby.
00:38:50Well, your husband isn't going to hold still for that, is he?
00:38:52That's just the trouble.
00:38:54He doesn't know anything about it.
00:38:56That's why I've simply got to find him.
00:38:59Well, I know what I'd do if I were you.
00:39:01Denny, I'm desperate.
00:39:03I'll do anything.
00:39:04Well, the first thing you've got to do is hide the baby.
00:39:07But where?
00:39:08Well, you must have a million friends.
00:39:11The first place they'd look.
00:39:12Well, how about a nursery then?
00:39:13Or a hospital or something?
00:39:15I wouldn't dare.
00:39:16I'd be recognized.
00:39:18Mm-hmm.
00:39:20Well, then here's your best bet.
00:39:22You find somebody that old man Barrett never suspects, see?
00:39:25And leave the baby with them until the whole thing cools off.
00:39:28In the meantime, you can canvas every health farm in the state.
00:39:32Say, with the baby safely tucked away,
00:39:34they can serve papers on you until they're blue in the face.
00:39:36They can't take away what you haven't got.
00:39:38Oh, Denny.
00:39:40I don't know how to thank you.
00:39:42Well, that's all right.
00:39:44You know somebody you can leave the baby with?
00:39:47Yes.
00:39:48Yes, I know someone.
00:39:50Uh, is there a telegraph office around here anyplace?
00:39:53Oh, yeah.
00:39:54The, uh, Hotel Greystone.
00:39:55About two blocks down there.
00:39:56Take me there, will you please?
00:39:57Sure.
00:40:03Well, whatever happens, I wish you luck.
00:40:20Let's go.
00:40:21Will you keep an eye on the baby?
00:40:22I'll only be a minute.
00:40:23Go ahead, take your time.
00:40:26After your passenger doesn't fall off the seat.
00:40:27Oh, there's one passenger I know hasn't been drinking.
00:40:39Cute little devil.
00:40:40Remind me of me youngest.
00:40:41Your youngest?
00:40:42How many you got?
00:40:42Five, bless their hearts, the little darlings.
00:40:44I'd rather pat me right arm than any one of them.
00:40:47You sound like my girl.
00:40:49But mind you, I wouldn't give the blade off me shoulder for another one.
00:40:52Now you sound like me.
00:40:53Will you call a taxi, please?
00:40:55Yes, ma'am.
00:40:58Yes, Denny, my lad.
00:40:59When I went through with the last baby, I swore I'd never be a father again.
00:41:04You Denny Martin?
00:41:06Yeah, that's me.
00:41:07I have a telegram for you, sir.
00:41:09Me?
00:41:10You must have the wrong Martin.
00:41:12I don't think so, sir.
00:41:13The lady said your cab would be parked outside the hotel.
00:41:40I don't think so.
00:41:40Hey, you.
00:41:41Huh?
00:41:41Is that your cab?
00:41:46Yes.
00:41:47Yes, it is.
00:41:48Well, get it out of there.
00:41:48You ought to know better.
00:41:49Yes, I'll get it out right away.
00:42:13Well, now what happens?
00:42:14I can't go driving around town with you in the back seat.
00:42:18One quick stop and you'd be on the floor.
00:42:21Isn't this awful?
00:42:23The cruising troubadour with a hot baby in his cab.
00:42:35Look at you.
00:42:36Do you care what a spot you've got me in?
00:42:39I suppose if you found me in the back seat of a cab and you were driving, you'd take care
00:42:43of me.
00:42:45Yes, you would.
00:42:46Yes, you would.
00:42:46Fat chance.
00:42:50And if you think that grin is going to get you anything, you're just wasting your time.
00:42:57Gee, I'd like to help you, but what can I do?
00:43:00You know you could get me into a lot of trouble.
00:43:03You know as well as I do what the rule book says.
00:43:06Any valuable property found in a cab must be turned over to the police.
00:43:10And, baby, your valuable property.
00:43:19Oh, sure.
00:43:22Very funny to you, but not to me.
00:43:28Now, look, I'm going to do the sensible thing here.
00:43:30I don't want to do it because I'd like to help you out, but it's too dangerous.
00:43:34I'm going to take you down to the 47th Street police station.
00:43:37You'll like the boys down there.
00:43:38They're a nice bunch of coppers, and they'll treat you swell.
00:43:41They'll get your great big police car, your own private siren.
00:43:44No stops for traffic lights.
00:43:46Zoom.
00:43:46They'll take you home.
00:43:50Oh, that's just the trouble.
00:43:51They will take you home, won't they?
00:43:55You know you're probably looking at the biggest chump in the entire city of New York.
00:44:00I'm a fool and I know it.
00:44:02Here I go stepping into something that figures to get me into nothing but trouble.
00:44:06But I'll tell you what we'll do.
00:44:08Let's go up to my place and talk this thing over, huh?
00:44:12Okay.
00:44:21Hiya, Nicky.
00:44:23Hi, Denny.
00:44:24Any messages?
00:44:26No.
00:44:27Mary didn't call.
00:44:30Nicky, I've got a little surprise for you.
00:44:33Since I've taken up astrology, nothing surprises me anymore.
00:44:36I know everything that's going to happen.
00:44:41The future is always written plainly in the stars.
00:44:45Why, only this morning...
00:44:46Ah!
00:44:47Ah!
00:44:48Denny!
00:44:49Denny!
00:44:50Denny, look!
00:44:54Oh, here now.
00:44:55Take it easy.
00:44:56It isn't going to bite you.
00:44:57I know, but why?
00:44:58But who?
00:44:58But where?
00:44:59Wait a minute.
00:44:59It's no mystery.
00:45:00I found the baby in my cab and brought it home.
00:45:02You brought it home?
00:45:03Huh?
00:45:04And you're the one who complained when I brought home a little goat.
00:45:07That's right.
00:45:08Well, what are you going to do with it?
00:45:10That's what we're going to decide now.
00:45:11We?
00:45:12Include me out of this.
00:45:13Oh, now listen.
00:45:13We're pals, aren't we?
00:45:14But certainly.
00:45:15We live together, don't we?
00:45:16Well, in a way, yes.
00:45:17If you're in trouble, I'm in trouble.
00:45:19Is that right?
00:45:19That's right.
00:45:20And if I'm in trouble, you're in trouble, huh?
00:45:21Absolutely.
00:45:22Well...
00:45:24I'm in trouble.
00:45:25There you are.
00:45:28Up we go.
00:45:31Who'd think that such a big headache could come in such a small package, huh?
00:45:34It's a funny thing.
00:45:35Now I'm convinced.
00:45:36Just this morning, I was casting your horoscope for the day.
00:45:39Yeah.
00:45:39And the star said that tonight, something embarrassing was going to happen.
00:45:57Hey, Nicky.
00:45:58Be careful how you handle that baby now.
00:46:01Don't worry.
00:46:02In my family, there was so many children and my father didn't even know them all.
00:46:06Oh, I see.
00:46:07You've had experience, huh?
00:46:09Certainly.
00:46:10I raised three of my brothers from the cradle.
00:46:12Where are they now?
00:46:14I don't know.
00:46:15They're dead.
00:46:17What are you doing in there?
00:46:18Can't you stop that crying?
00:46:19I'm not crying.
00:46:20It's the baby.
00:46:22You're crying.
00:46:23I'm in trouble and you're crying.
00:46:26I'm crying.
00:46:30Oh.
00:46:31Oh, oh.
00:46:40Oh.
00:46:40Oh.
00:46:41Oh.
00:46:41Oh, oh.
00:46:41Oh, oh.
00:46:45Oh, oh.
00:46:46Oh, oh.
00:46:46Oh, oh.
00:46:47Hey, what's that you're singing?
00:46:48It's a beautiful Russian lullaby.
00:46:50It's about a girl whose sweetheart leaves her,
00:46:52joins the army, and gets killed.
00:46:54So she jumps off the cliff.
00:46:56Give me that baby.
00:46:57You want the poor kid to have nightmares all night?
00:47:01Turn out the lights.
00:47:14Now listen here, young fella.
00:47:27The End
00:47:55Good morning, Mr. Barrett.
00:47:56Well, well, what have you found out?
00:47:58She made a tour of the nightclubs asking for your son.
00:48:01Never mind about that.
00:48:02What did she do with the baby?
00:48:03We're still working on that, sir.
00:48:05She checked in at the Fabian Hotel, but she was alone.
00:48:07She must have left the child somewhere before we picked her up.
00:48:10Now, listen to me.
00:48:11I'm not interested in the woman.
00:48:13I'm not interested in reports.
00:48:15I'm only interested in one thing.
00:48:17Where is that baby?
00:48:19That's what I'm paying you to find out.
00:48:21Where is that baby?
00:48:41Nicky.
00:48:42Nicky!
00:48:44Yeah?
00:48:45What is it?
00:48:46Get the baby out of sight.
00:49:00Oh, well, good morning, Mrs. Lee.
00:49:03Good morning, Mr. Martin.
00:49:04Anything wrong?
00:49:05Yes, there is.
00:49:06Will you please tell your roommate, Mr. Bulla Bullakov, to be more careful when he waters his plants in the
00:49:10morning?
00:49:10Well, what's the matter?
00:49:12Mrs. Watson, my tenant, downstairs, hangs her parrot outside, right under those boxes.
00:49:17And the water dripping down has given the parrot such a cold he can't talk.
00:49:20I'll attend to the matter, Mrs. Lee.
00:49:21Well, see that you do.
00:49:22Yeah.
00:49:25Was that a close call?
00:49:27Why do you worry so much?
00:49:29Suppose she finds out we got a baby in here.
00:49:31Well, so what?
00:49:32So she finds out.
00:49:33So we move to another place with a bigger garden.
00:49:36What kind of people can object to little plants and little babies?
00:49:40This doesn't happen to be an ordinary baby.
00:49:42Well, it looks ordinary to me.
00:49:47Nicky, I wasn't going to tell you this, but this baby happens to be the grandchild of Cyrus Barrett.
00:49:53The grandchild of Cyrus Barrett?
00:49:56The what?
00:49:57Now you understand why it has to be kept quiet.
00:50:00Now I understand why we'll be kept quiet for a long time if somebody finds out.
00:50:04Well, it's only for a couple of days.
00:50:06Now, don't get so excited.
00:50:09Where did you put it?
00:50:10To put what?
00:50:11Oh, yes, the baby.
00:50:16There you are.
00:50:17Just like an Indian caboose.
00:50:24Are you daffy?
00:50:26Supposing he fell on his head or something?
00:50:28That's nothing.
00:50:29I fell on my head twice when I was a baby.
00:50:31Yeah, well, once was enough.
00:50:33There we are.
00:50:36Well, now what do you want?
00:50:38What's that?
00:50:38What?
00:50:45Oh, I get it.
00:50:46You're hungry.
00:50:47Say, Nicky, what do we got to eat in the house?
00:50:50Everything.
00:50:51Here we got chili, Welsh rarebit, pickles, Swiss cheese, and ah, beautiful salami.
00:51:00Salami.
00:51:00You can't give stuff like that to babies.
00:51:02They got to have milk and oatmeal.
00:51:04I'll climb into some clothes and go over to the grocery store.
00:51:07You just get the oatmeal and leave the milk to me.
00:51:12There we are.
00:51:13You stay right here now.
00:51:15That old milk train will be along any minute.
00:51:16Good girl.
00:51:19Good girl.
00:51:22Good girl.
00:51:57¶¶
00:52:20¶¶
00:52:21Hey, Nicky. Yeah?
00:52:22I'll be back in a few minutes.
00:52:24While I'm gone, don't you let anybody in.
00:52:26Anybody, you understand?
00:52:28Am I going to put my head in the lion's jaw
00:52:30when I know it's going to clamp down on me?
00:52:33¶¶
00:52:34¶¶
00:52:34¶¶
00:52:37¶¶
00:52:38¶¶
00:52:38¶¶
00:52:39¶¶
00:52:39¶¶
00:52:43¶¶
00:52:51This meal comes to you for the courtesy of man's best friend,
00:52:54the cow.
00:53:05¶¶
00:53:06Who... who is it?
00:53:07¶¶
00:53:07¶¶
00:53:08¶¶
00:53:08¶¶
00:53:08¶¶
00:53:09¶¶
00:53:09¶¶
00:53:09¶¶
00:53:10¶¶
00:53:10¶¶
00:53:34¶¶
00:53:35Where is Denny?
00:53:37Oh, you mean Denny?
00:53:38Well, he went out.
00:53:41He's gone out?
00:53:42When will he be back?
00:53:43He didn't say.
00:53:45Oh, you just don't make sense.
00:53:47When he comes back, tell him to phone me.
00:53:55See, baby?
00:53:56When you grow up and women come knocking at your door,
00:53:58that's the way to handle them.
00:54:05Well, I'll see you around.
00:54:06Go on, Denny.
00:54:17Oh, Denny!
00:54:33Now, the first rule, baby, for success in life
00:54:36is to be careful of your appearance.
00:54:39So, la.
00:54:41Voila.
00:54:56What's the matter?
00:54:57What are you trying to do to the baby?
00:54:59This is the way I always play with babies.
00:55:01It is, huh?
00:55:02Well, I understand now what happened to your three brothers.
00:55:06I hurried just as fast as I could.
00:55:08Did you miss me, baby?
00:55:09I tried my best to be entertaining, but...
00:55:11I was going to be in the morning while you were gone.
00:55:12Yeah, but nobody knows how to treat you like I do.
00:55:14Do they, sweetheart?
00:55:15We'll have to make different arrangements for tonight, though.
00:55:18I hope so.
00:55:19I was very uncomfortable on that floor.
00:55:24Maybe you're going to have to go back to your other daddy soon
00:55:26because I'm getting married tonight.
00:55:43Is that a new hat, Mary?
00:55:45Yes, do you like it?
00:55:46It wouldn't look good on me.
00:55:48I didn't buy it for you.
00:55:49Morning, Mr. Cook.
00:55:51Mr. Cook, please.
00:55:52Hello, Mary.
00:55:53Hello, Mr. DeWolf.
00:55:54Are you happy, honey?
00:55:55Not particularly.
00:55:56Is that so?
00:55:57Well, there are only two troubles in life.
00:55:59Love and money.
00:56:01I'm not broke, if that's what you mean.
00:56:03Am I to infer a cloud of dissension
00:56:04is darkening the sunshine of your romance?
00:56:06There is no romance.
00:56:07It's over.
00:56:08Have you left the cruising troubadour to cruise alone?
00:56:10He's not cruising alone.
00:56:12That's why I left him.
00:56:13Are you telling me he's acquired a new interest in life?
00:56:15I'm not telling you, but I can't keep you from guessing.
00:56:18Oh, never mind, Mary.
00:56:19One man's loss, another man's gain.
00:56:21A heartache for you, an item for me.
00:56:24Good night, Mr. DeWolf.
00:56:26Good night.
00:56:31Mary.
00:56:33Mary, I've been trying to get you all day.
00:56:35Must be something wrong with the switchboard, huh?
00:56:37Well, that's one nice thing about switchboards.
00:56:39When you don't want to talk to anyone, you just pull out the plug.
00:56:42Oh, I don't get it.
00:56:43Since when did you start pulling plugs on the groom?
00:56:45If you're a groom, you're somebody else's, not mine.
00:56:48Hey, wait a minute.
00:56:49Remember me?
00:56:50I'm the fellow you're going to marry tonight.
00:56:52Oh, no, you're not.
00:56:53This time I'm postponing the wedding.
00:56:55Permanently.
00:56:56Whoa, whoa.
00:56:57Now what goes on here?
00:56:59This calls for a little explaining.
00:57:01I think you might do a little explaining.
00:57:03Such as what?
00:57:04Such as why Nicky wouldn't let me in this morning when I came up to surprise you.
00:57:07You mean you came up and Nicky wouldn't let you in?
00:57:10Why, he never even told me.
00:57:12Oh, you can't laugh your way out of this.
00:57:15Now look, Denny, I've always been fair with you.
00:57:18I didn't mind when you were out of work because I knew you were trying.
00:57:20I even put up with having our wedding postponed four times.
00:57:24But there's one thing I won't stand for.
00:57:26No woman would.
00:57:27And that's what happened this morning.
00:57:30Oh, honey, you shouldn't get burned up about a little thing like that.
00:57:33Little thing?
00:57:34Little thing?
00:57:35Do you think I enjoyed standing outside your door on my wedding day
00:57:38listening to you talk, baby talk to that, that woman?
00:57:41Oh, the old green-eyed monster, huh?
00:57:44You know you look cute when you're jealous, honey?
00:57:45I'm not jealous.
00:57:46I'm through, that's all.
00:57:49Come on now, you're going along with me.
00:57:51I want you to meet somebody.
00:57:52I'm not going anyplace with you ever again.
00:57:54Ever.
00:57:59Hello, Mary.
00:58:00Oh, good evening.
00:58:01Your suit looks much better since you had it pressed.
00:58:03Well, I have to say something.
00:58:04Yeah, you think a great excuse as you do.
00:58:06You ought to be ashamed of yourself.
00:58:08But you told me not to let anybody in.
00:58:09Anybody?
00:58:10Well, Mary's not anybody, she's everybody.
00:58:12She can come up here anytime she wants, and don't you forget it.
00:58:16You know I think Mary's the most wonderful girl in the world.
00:58:19Why, if you had any idea at all of the way I feel about her.
00:58:22What's playing here next week?
00:58:25If you'll excuse me now, I'll go to work.
00:58:27When this sun goes in, I go out.
00:58:30Oh.
00:58:31Oh.
00:58:35That's a great fellow.
00:58:36If you do anything in the world for me, you can do it wrong.
00:58:40Well, I'm waiting.
00:58:43Yes.
00:58:44Honey, I have a confession to make to you.
00:58:46I've got to tell you sooner or later, might as well be now.
00:58:51I know you're big enough to understand when I tell you that someone else has come into my life.
00:58:58Now I want you to meet the person you heard me talking to this morning.
00:59:10Oh, Denny.
00:59:12A baby.
00:59:13You guessed it the first time.
00:59:15What's it doing here?
00:59:16Well, I'll tell you all about it later.
00:59:17I'm just doing a favor for somebody.
00:59:19Now, if you ask me in a real nice way, I might forgive you.
00:59:24Oh, Denny.
00:59:32Hello, honey.
00:59:34Oh.
00:59:35Isn't he sweet?
00:59:38Look at these dear little hands.
00:59:39Oh, the size of the fingernails.
00:59:41That's what gets me.
00:59:42Did you ever see anything as small as that?
00:59:45Aren't you the man that didn't like babies?
00:59:47Well, yes.
00:59:48There might be a lot of babies I wouldn't like.
00:59:50You can't tell.
00:59:51It's just like you meet a lot of people.
00:59:53Some you like, and...
00:59:54Oh.
00:59:54Some you don't.
00:59:55This one I like.
00:59:56That's all.
00:59:57Oh, Denny.
00:59:58I wonder if we'll ever have it.
01:00:02I mean, I hope all our plans work out.
01:00:04Work out?
01:00:05Listen, honey.
01:00:05If I had my way, we'd have a...
01:00:09Well, there's lots of things I'd like you to have when the breaks come our way.
01:00:13You know, for a while, I thought maybe it didn't want to happen.
01:00:17Some people have funny ideas about things, don't they?
01:00:20Oh, yeah.
01:00:21But they get over them, too.
01:00:23Don't you think one baby gets kind of lonesome?
01:00:25Of course.
01:00:26They want company like everybody else.
01:00:29That's what I thought.
01:00:30You see, if I ever decide to have kids, I'm gonna have them all in a bunch.
01:00:37Well, there is something new under the sun, after all.
01:00:39I imagine this is the first time a baby ever postponed a wedding.
01:00:45That's right.
01:00:46We'd make a pretty group, wouldn't we, with the best man holding him in his arms.
01:00:52Go to sleep.
01:00:53Go to sleep.
01:00:54Oh, no.
01:00:54You'll never get him to sleep that way.
01:00:56Oh, yes, I will.
01:00:57Now, if you want a lesson on how to put a baby to sleep, I'll show you.
01:01:00There we are.
01:01:01Come on.
01:01:03There we go.
01:01:05You can listen, too, if you want to, but you're supposed to stay awake.
01:01:12Would you listen to a story, the most amazing story that you've ever heard?
01:01:24It concerns a certain romance, a most amazing romance.
01:01:32You'll have to take my word.
01:01:37It may sound unreal to you, but it's absolutely true.
01:01:51Well, any news?
01:01:52Yes, Mr. Barrett.
01:01:53It's about your daughter-in-law.
01:01:55Oh.
01:01:55What about her?
01:01:57Well, two of my most experienced men trailed her from her hotel to Pennsylvania Station.
01:02:01Now, you know, Mr. Barrett, what a big place that is, and there were hundreds of people there, and...
01:02:04You mean to say you've lost track of her?
01:02:06I hate to admit it, Mr. Barrett, but that's what happened.
01:02:08Ah!
01:02:09What kind of detectives are these?
01:02:12Well, if that's the best you can do, it isn't good enough.
01:02:14Send your bill to Mr. Fisher.
01:02:15Yes, sir.
01:02:16Right this way, gentlemen.
01:02:20Laugh to sigh.
01:02:23I'm worried.
01:02:24Call the police, sir.
01:02:25It's the only proper thing to do.
01:02:26No, no, no, no.
01:02:27The publicity.
01:02:28This is not a time for personal pride, sir.
01:02:30As long as we knew where your daughter-in-law was, there was still a chance of finding the baby.
01:02:34But now, it may be an actual physical danger.
01:02:37It's very life may be at stake.
01:02:41Call the police, Commissioner.
01:02:43Good, sir.
01:02:47Never before has one breath of scandal touched the family name of Barrett.
01:02:53The name of Barrett has not appeared in the public prints recently.
01:02:56And my operators tell me that young Cyrus Barrett is no longer seen frequenting his favorite haunts of gaiety.
01:03:01All of which leads us to believe that his current domestic difficulties have impressed him deeply.
01:03:06And descending a rung or two in the social ladder, it may be amusing to note that Barrett's favorite crooner,
01:03:10Denny Martin,
01:03:11the cruising, ear-bruising troubadour, has blown out an old flame.
01:03:15But Martin, at least, was fortunate.
01:03:17He has already found himself a new baby.
01:03:19And from what I hear, some baby.
01:03:23And that, fair listeners, must satisfy your...
01:03:33And that, fairer.
01:03:33Remember one thing.
01:03:34If anybody asks you, do you know me?
01:03:37Go like this.
01:03:45Well, well, well.
01:03:46How's the little mother?
01:03:47Any word yet?
01:03:48Any word yet?
01:03:49Did you hear the wolf's broadcast?
01:03:51I'm not interested in the wolf's broadcast.
01:03:53Oh, you'll be interested in this one.
01:03:54He just told the whole world you got a baby here.
01:03:58You don't know what you're talking about.
01:03:59Well, maybe I don't, but I know what the wolf was talking about.
01:04:02We just heard him, didn't we?
01:04:04Well, what did he say?
01:04:05He said you found a baby.
01:04:07Well, that's impossible.
01:04:08How could he know that?
01:04:10You didn't tell him, did you?
01:04:11Listen, last night a fellow asked me what time it was, and I wouldn't tell him.
01:04:15Yeah, I can't understand it.
01:04:17How did he say it?
01:04:18He just said that you blowed out an old flame and that you already found yourself a new baby.
01:04:21Oh, I might have known it.
01:04:24You get everything wrong.
01:04:25Well, what do you mean?
01:04:27Well, I guess Mary told him she heard me talking to a girl up here.
01:04:30That's the wolf's cute way of saying it.
01:04:32Well, you know that he meant a girl, and now I know that he meant a girl.
01:04:35But the wolf said baby.
01:04:37Well, so what?
01:04:38So what is he, the lone ranger?
01:04:41Well, you might be right at that.
01:04:43I'd better see Mary and make sure she doesn't tell the wolf anything else.
01:04:50Duck out of here.
01:04:58Yes?
01:04:59You Denny Martin?
01:05:00That's right.
01:05:01I'm Detective Lieutenant Finnegan from the Bureau of Missing Persons.
01:05:04Huh?
01:05:05Maybe you can help me out a little.
01:05:07Well, sure.
01:05:07I'll come right in.
01:05:08Thanks.
01:05:11You drive for Sunbeam, don't you?
01:05:13Yes, I do.
01:05:16This mean anything to you?
01:05:19Well, sure.
01:05:20That picture's on all the front pages.
01:05:22She's the lady who's missing.
01:05:24Ever see her before?
01:05:25I say I did.
01:05:26I had her in my cab a couple nights ago.
01:05:28Where'd you pick her up?
01:05:30Cruising around the Raleigh Hotel.
01:05:32The Raleigh Hotel?
01:05:33Uh-huh.
01:05:33Well, that's very helpful.
01:05:35Oh, did she have the kid with her?
01:05:37Yes.
01:05:38Yeah, she did.
01:05:40Where'd you drop her?
01:05:41Well, now, wait a minute.
01:05:42Uh, I haven't got my book with me, but...
01:05:45Oh, I remember now.
01:05:47I...
01:05:47I let her out at the Greystone Hotel.
01:05:50Well, do you remember what time it was?
01:05:52Well, I wouldn't want to swear to it, but...
01:05:53I think it was between 9 and 10.
01:05:57Well, thanks, Morton.
01:05:58Is that all you can tell me?
01:06:00Yes, that's...
01:06:01That's all I can tell you.
01:06:03Okay, if we need you again, we'll send for you.
01:06:05Well, I'll be glad to do anything I can.
01:06:08Good night.
01:06:08Good night.
01:06:14Goodbye, baby.
01:06:16Here.
01:06:16What's the idea?
01:06:17You mean you're not going to take him home now?
01:06:19You think I'm crazy?
01:06:20I couldn't walk two blocks with that kid.
01:06:24Carry him.
01:06:25Oh, will you stop with that stuff?
01:06:27But, Danny, with every policeman in New York looking for this baby,
01:06:30the radio and the newspapers will make a federal project out of it.
01:06:33Don't you realize we're in a real jam?
01:06:35Sure, we're in a jam, but it's not as bad as you make out.
01:06:39We'll be out of it as soon as Miss Barrett shows up and takes her baby away.
01:06:42Suppose she doesn't show up?
01:06:43Now, will you stop worrying? It'll work out all right.
01:06:46That's what they said to the Tsar, and then came the revolution.
01:06:50Now, we haven't done anything wrong.
01:06:52We got a perfect explanation of why the baby's here.
01:06:54I know Mrs. Barrett.
01:06:56She asked me to take care of her baby, and I'm doing it.
01:06:59Now, they can't do anything to us for that.
01:07:00With that alibi, no jury in the world will give us more than 10 years.
01:07:04You've got to get them out of here.
01:07:06Now, listen.
01:07:06This baby is not leaving the house tonight in my company.
01:07:09The first cop that saw me had picked me up.
01:07:11What's the difference? You said you could explain.
01:07:13Well, if it's all the same to you, I'd rather sleep here tonight than in a pokey.
01:07:17Anyhow, we're in this deep. We might as well see it through.
01:07:19Besides, Mrs. Barrett will be along any minute now, and that'll solve everything.
01:07:23If she doesn't come by tomorrow, I'll go to old man Barrett.
01:07:26If she doesn't come by tomorrow, Alcatraz, I hear you calling me.
01:07:59Hey, Coles!
01:08:09Hello, Phil.
01:08:10Hello, Mary.
01:08:11How's business?
01:08:12With all these colds around, we're doing a lovely little business this week.
01:08:15You can thank the weatherman for that.
01:08:17Isn't it so?
01:08:18Why, Mr. Fredrickson 712 has the worst cold you ever saw.
01:08:21Really?
01:08:21Mr. DeWolf, here's some company.
01:08:24Ah, there, Mary.
01:08:25Good morning.
01:08:27Are you happy, honey?
01:08:28Yes.
01:08:29No thanks to you.
01:08:30What did I do?
01:08:31Oh, nothing.
01:08:32You just broadcast to the whole world that Denny and I had split up, that's all.
01:08:36What'll it be, Mary?
01:08:37I'm skipping lunch, just a chocolate malt place.
01:08:39Well, why all the fuss?
01:08:40Because I said Denny had found a new baby.
01:08:42Maybe I wasn't so far wrong.
01:08:45Look at this.
01:08:48Isn't it funny?
01:08:49I broadcast that the cruising troubadour has found a new baby.
01:08:52And two days later, presto, outcrops the news he's actually had the Barrett baby in his cab.
01:08:59That's very amusing.
01:09:01What's startling about that?
01:09:02Taxis carry hundreds of people.
01:09:04I don't think it's even interesting.
01:09:06That's because you're not a radio reporter.
01:09:09But I, Mary, am very much interested.
01:09:12Toodaloo.
01:09:15Apparently, taxi driver Martin was the last person to have seen Mrs. Barrett and her baby together.
01:09:22Baby, you got us into plenty of trouble.
01:09:24Yeah, trouble is right.
01:09:25I had no idea that it'd go this far.
01:09:27Yeah, if the police catch up with us, it could go farther than this.
01:09:30We better think of something and think of it fast.
01:09:32Well, I've done all I could for Mona, but I've got a strange feeling something's gone wrong somewhere.
01:09:37Well, you said it.
01:09:38I think I'll go see old man Barrett.
01:09:40Now you're talking!
01:09:41And get this straight.
01:09:42If that dick comes back, you play dumb, you hear?
01:09:44I'll try, but I'm not a very good actor.
01:09:46Well, you don't have to be for that part.
01:09:47No.
01:09:50Was that?
01:09:51Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, of course.
01:09:55Good afternoon, Mr. Barrett.
01:09:58Now listen, young man, don't you start singing.
01:10:00Oh, no chance.
01:10:01There'll be no singing today.
01:10:03I came to do you a favor.
01:10:04Hmm.
01:10:05What is it?
01:10:07Well, if somebody came to do me a favor, I'd ask him to sit down.
01:10:11Have a seat.
01:10:17You know, you've got a wonderful grandson, Mr. Barrett.
01:10:21It's a great baby.
01:10:23Would you mind coming to the point?
01:10:24Your son's all right, too.
01:10:26Of course, he's gone a little haywire lately, but that's your fault.
01:10:29What is this all about?
01:10:30Well, I'm coming to that.
01:10:31Just let me have my say first.
01:10:33You know, you started all this by breaking up your son's marriage.
01:10:36You caused a lot more trouble by trying to take your daughter-in-law's baby away from him.
01:10:40That's enough!
01:10:41Now, you had me thrown out of here once.
01:10:42Don't do it again if you want your grandson back.
01:10:44What's that?
01:10:46Do you know where he is?
01:10:47Well, I could take you to him in 15 minutes, but...
01:10:50We've got to settle something first.
01:10:53How much do you want?
01:10:54How much you got?
01:10:57Well, never mind, Mr. Barrett.
01:10:58Everybody doesn't think in terms of money.
01:11:01I guess you've found that out since you lost your grandson.
01:11:04I'm not much in the world, according to your standards, and you're a pretty big man, but I know when
01:11:09I'm right and you're wrong.
01:11:10Oh, for heaven's sake, man, if you know where the baby is, take me to him.
01:11:13Maybe I have been wrong, but I've suffered for it.
01:11:17I'll do anything to get that baby back.
01:11:19Anything!
01:11:20All right, then.
01:11:20Let your son and his wife lead their own lives.
01:11:22Give them a chance to make a go of it.
01:11:26Very well, I will.
01:11:27Okay, come on.
01:11:28Has the little fellow been taken care of?
01:11:30Is he well?
01:11:30He's sharp as a tack.
01:11:31I'll explain the whole thing on the way down.
01:11:33Fine.
01:11:35I'll see that you're well rewarded for this, Martin.
01:11:37Don't worry about that.
01:11:38There's nothing I want.
01:11:39Well, we'll talk about that later.
01:11:42Nicky!
01:11:43Nicky, I brought Mr. Barrett.
01:11:45Here you are, Mr. Barrett.
01:11:46Here's your baby.
01:11:53Nicky, what happened?
01:11:54There was a knock on the door and somebody said telegram.
01:11:56Wait a minute, wait.
01:11:58Now, go ahead.
01:11:59Oh, what happened?
01:12:00Yeah.
01:12:00There was a knock on the door and somebody said telegram.
01:12:03I opened the door, put out my head.
01:12:06Something hit me and there I was, looking at the stars again.
01:12:09Who did it?
01:12:10I don't know who did it.
01:12:11Now, listen, Martin.
01:12:12I don't know what your game is, but you can't get away with it.
01:12:15You told me I had my grandson, and I think you did.
01:12:18We'll see what the police have to say about it.
01:12:20And if you're responsible, I won't press till you're both in the penitentiary.
01:12:23Where you belong.
01:12:25Oh, wait a minute.
01:12:26Mr. Barrett.
01:12:27Please, you've got to listen.
01:12:29Now, what are we going to do?
01:12:30Well, Barrett will go straight to the police.
01:12:31There's only one thing for us to do.
01:12:32Get out of town.
01:12:33But we're innocent.
01:12:34That's what the fellow said when they hung up.
01:12:36But we didn't do anything.
01:12:37All we did was try to help somebody out.
01:12:40All we did is lose the Barrett baby, that's all.
01:12:42And that's going to take some tall explaining.
01:12:44Come on.
01:12:44Where are we going, brother?
01:12:45We're just going, that's all.
01:12:47That line's busy, madam.
01:12:49Oh, what, Mary?
01:12:50Will you tell 402 the papers aren't in yet?
01:12:52You know, there's some mighty queer goings-on in this hotel.
01:12:55Can you imagine what that DeWolf has ordered?
01:12:58Now, what?
01:12:59A baby hamper, a nursing bottle, and malden milk.
01:13:03And for a bachelor, too.
01:13:07Hotel Raleigh.
01:13:10Come on, Denny.
01:13:11Sing us a chorus.
01:13:12A little later.
01:13:14Just a moment, please.
01:13:16Hello, Denny.
01:13:21What's the matter?
01:13:22I've got something to tell you, and I don't want it overheard.
01:13:24I just dropped in to say goodbye.
01:13:26Goodbye?
01:13:27Where are you going?
01:13:28Well, I've got to leave town.
01:13:29Leave town?
01:13:30What for?
01:13:31Because Nikki and I are liable to be pinched any minute.
01:13:34But any minute?
01:13:35Pinched?
01:13:35Why?
01:13:37Because of what happened with Nikki this morning.
01:13:39For heaven's sakes, what happened?
01:13:41Well, I brought old man Barrett to get the baby,
01:13:43and there was no baby.
01:13:45Somebody took it.
01:13:46Somebody took it?
01:13:47Who would do a thing like that?
01:13:49I don't know, and I'm not waiting to find out.
01:13:53Just a minute.
01:13:54Come on out here.
01:13:57What is it?
01:13:58Did you ever hear of anyone drinking gin out of a nursing bottle?
01:14:01Now, honey, this is no time to be kidding.
01:14:02No?
01:14:03Well, listen.
01:14:04Claudius DeWolf just bought a baby hamper and a nursing bottle.
01:14:06He did?
01:14:06Yeah, well, they smoked this fire,
01:14:08and with his nursing bottles, there must be babies.
01:14:10But what in the world would DeWolf want with a Barrett baby?
01:14:12Well, I don't know, but let's find out.
01:14:18Listen, Mary, you go up to his room.
01:14:20He lets you in, won't he?
01:14:21I think so.
01:14:22Okay, give me a little time,
01:14:23and then see that his radio is tuned to W.I.X.
01:14:25I got an idea.
01:14:26What is it?
01:14:26You wait here.
01:14:33Bobby, ask one of the boys to relieve me for a few minutes, will you?
01:14:36Sure.
01:14:40I can handle that chorus now.
01:14:41Fine, Danny.
01:14:42That sly old gentleman from Feather Bed Lane
01:14:51is watching you peeking through your windowpane.
01:15:09Why, Mary.
01:15:10I just wanted to tell you to be sure and heat the milk
01:15:12before you give it to the baby.
01:15:14What?
01:15:15And don't forget to sterilize the bottle.
01:15:18Come in, Mary.
01:15:22Why, what powers of detection did you divine
01:15:24that I was entertaining an infant?
01:15:26Try and keep a secret in a big hotel.
01:15:27Well, I have tried before, but with no success.
01:15:30This time it's a harmless secret.
01:15:32Not even any scandal.
01:15:34Hardly.
01:15:34Unless the scandal said I should be taking care of my sister's baby.
01:15:37Oh, may I see it?
01:15:39Oh, no.
01:15:39No, we mustn't disturb the slumbers of the innocent.
01:15:43Would you care for a drink?
01:15:44No, thank you.
01:15:45Do you mind if I have one?
01:15:46Not at all.
01:16:04We interrupt this program to make an important news announcement.
01:16:07Flash, the Barrett baby, grandson of Cyrus Barrett,
01:16:09was found 10 minutes ago and restored to his grandfather.
01:16:11For further details, see your evening newspaper.
01:16:18Oh, thank heavens.
01:16:20I'm so glad that baby's all right.
01:16:24What's the matter with you?
01:16:25Don't you feel well?
01:16:26I don't feel anything.
01:16:27I'm numb.
01:16:28Why?
01:16:30I got the wrong baby.
01:16:32I don't understand.
01:16:33That's your sister's, isn't it?
01:16:34I wish to heaven it were.
01:16:36Will you stop being so mysterious and tell me what it's all about?
01:16:39Mary, I was going to pull the biggest scoop of my career.
01:16:41I was going to hand the baby back to Mr. Barrett tonight at the broadcasting station.
01:16:45Even telephoned him and told him to be there.
01:16:47Whose child is it?
01:16:48Where'd you get it?
01:16:50Well, I suppose I might as well tell you.
01:16:52After I talked to you this morning, I decided Denny must have a barricade,
01:16:55so I sent a friend of mine to investigate.
01:16:58He found this brat in Denny's apartment and brought it here.
01:17:01A baby in Denny's apartment.
01:17:04Well, there's nothing funny about this.
01:17:07You've got the landlady's baby.
01:17:09What?
01:17:10Yes.
01:17:11Nikki mines it for her every day when she goes out shopping.
01:17:15Mary, you can do me a big favor.
01:17:16I'll do one for you someday.
01:17:18Take that kid back to the landlady and tell her you had it out for an airing.
01:17:21Tell her anything, but get it out of here.
01:17:22Well, I don't know.
01:17:24Mary, you will do this for me.
01:17:25I know you will.
01:17:31There's no time to lose, Mary.
01:17:33Maybe you can get it back before she misses it.
01:17:34All right, but I wouldn't do this for anybody else.
01:17:36Mary, I'll never forget you for this.
01:17:38I know you won't.
01:17:42Thank you, Freddy.
01:17:43Okay.
01:17:46Here it is.
01:17:48Calling Mr. Robinson.
01:17:50Mr. Robinson, please.
01:17:53That's our baby.
01:17:54What?
01:17:54We got it back again.
01:17:56Denny, it worked out perfectly.
01:17:57As soon as he heard the broadcast, he told me where he got the baby.
01:18:00Never mind about that now.
01:18:01What we got to do is get the baby home to Mr. Barrett as soon as possible.
01:18:04If the cops don't get us first.
01:18:05But Mr. Barrett's going to be at the broadcasting station.
01:18:08Claudius was going to meet him there.
01:18:09Oh, he was, was he?
01:18:11Going to make a big hero out of himself, huh?
01:18:13Well, DeWolf's been pushing me around long enough.
01:18:15Now it's my turn.
01:18:18Hotel Raleigh.
01:18:20Who's calling, please?
01:18:22Just a minute.
01:18:23It's Barrett calling DeWolf.
01:18:27Hello, DeWolf.
01:18:28My secretary tells me you want me to meet you at your broadcast.
01:18:32May I ask what for?
01:18:33Well, Mr. Barrett, I thought I had some important information about your grandson.
01:18:37But since you have him back, I guess there's very little more for me to say.
01:18:41Have him back?
01:18:42What are you talking about?
01:18:43You mean the baby wasn't returned to you?
01:18:45Returned to me, of course not.
01:18:48Look, Mr. Barrett, you meet me at the broadcasting station and I'll try to explain everything there.
01:18:54Just a moment.
01:18:55It's DeWolf.
01:18:56Yes, Mr. DeWolf.
01:18:58Mary, I'm glad I got you in time.
01:19:00There's been a mistake somewhere.
01:19:01Now, wait for him and I'll be right down.
01:19:04He's coming right down.
01:19:05What do we do now?
01:19:06Oh, think fast, Denny, think fast.
01:19:08All for Mr. Stort.
01:19:11Mr. Stort, please.
01:19:39Mary, I've decided it wouldn't be fair to let you do this.
01:19:42I'll take the child back myself.
01:19:43But I thought you said...
01:19:44It's all right.
01:19:45Boy, thanks just the same, Mary.
01:19:47Yes, sir.
01:19:48Carry this out for me and carry it very carefully.
01:19:50Yes, sir.
01:19:51You and your boyfriend thought you were being very smart, didn't you?
01:19:54Well, it might interest you to know that I've been on to you all the time.
01:19:57Nobody can put anything over on me.
01:20:00Toodle-oo.
01:20:02Don't worry, dear.
01:20:03He's probably up in the nursery.
01:20:05Good evening, Mary.
01:20:06Higgins, has Mr. Martin brought my baby home?
01:20:08No, ma'am.
01:20:09I knew something was wrong when there was nobody at Denny's flat.
01:20:11Is my father home?
01:20:12No, sir.
01:20:13He's on his way to the Federal Broadcasting Station.
01:20:16Broadcasting Station?
01:20:17What for?
01:20:17Something about the infant, sir.
01:20:19Mr. DeWolf called him.
01:20:22Come on, darling.
01:20:32Good evening, fair listeners.
01:20:34This is your Manhattan mentor, Claudius DeWolf,
01:20:36bringing you the newsflash of the century.
01:20:38The mystery of the missing Barrett baby has been solved.
01:20:41While the entire police department combed the city and failed,
01:20:45while every force of law and order searched fruitlessly
01:20:47for the son of Cyrus Barrett, Jr.,
01:20:50I, your humble reporter,
01:20:51alone and unaided,
01:20:53accomplished what hundreds of others have failed to do.
01:20:56I, ladies and gentlemen, found the Barrett baby.
01:20:59But before I give you the details of this amazing story,
01:21:02I'm going to restore the child
01:21:03to the waiting arms of his anxious grandfather,
01:21:05who's expected here at any moment.
01:21:07Oh, just a second.
01:21:08Here comes Mr. Barrett now.
01:21:10Mr. Barrett, your worries are over.
01:21:12Here is your grandson.
01:21:22Are you happy, honey?
01:21:25Mr. Barrett, I don't know how this happened.
01:21:27Don't you?
01:21:29DeWolf, are you trying to make a fool of me?
01:21:31Of course not, Mr. Barrett.
01:21:32I can't understand this.
01:21:33Neither can I.
01:21:34I want this man arrested.
01:21:35Mr. Barrett, please give me a chance to explain.
01:21:37I don't know.
01:21:39There's the man you want arrested.
01:21:41Ah, there you are.
01:21:42Now, take it easy, Mr. Barrett.
01:21:44There's your grandson.
01:21:46We'd have had him long before this
01:21:47if it hadn't been for gorgeous, claudius.
01:21:49I don't know what you're all trying to do,
01:21:51but I want everyone held for investigation.
01:21:53Yes, sir.
01:21:53Wait a minute, Dad.
01:21:54Cyrus!
01:21:56Listen, Dad, you don't want to have this man arrested.
01:21:58He's the man that took the baby.
01:21:59Oh, no, he isn't.
01:22:00I left him with Denny while I went looking for Cyrus.
01:22:03I can never thank you enough.
01:22:05Well, I guess that lets me out.
01:22:07It certainly does.
01:22:09Out of a job.
01:22:10Mr. Barrett, you can't do a thing like that.
01:22:12You had the baby today, and you didn't tell me.
01:22:14The wolf, you're through.
01:22:18Play something, boys.
01:22:20Do you people realize we're on the air?
01:22:22How are we doing?
01:22:23Dad, give Denny a chance.
01:22:24He's earned one.
01:22:26Martin, if you want that job,
01:22:29you can have it for life.
01:22:32Now, go and shing your head off.
01:22:34Right over here, please.
01:22:35I don't know.
01:22:36This is kind of sudden.
01:22:38I feel sort of funny without my cab.
01:22:40Go ahead, Denny.
01:22:41Go on.
01:22:42Wait a minute.
01:22:48He sings much better with a baby in his arms.
01:22:51Hurry up, honey.
01:22:52Because when you hear the gong,
01:22:54it'll be two minutes before our wedding.
01:23:01I know an angel on the east side of heaven.
01:23:09No wonder I'm happy and free.
01:23:15When I turn off Broadway to the east side of heaven,
01:23:23where an angel waits for you.
01:23:28Where an angel waits for you.
01:23:30Little, little, little, little, little.
01:23:34Little, little, little.
01:23:35Little, little, little.
01:23:36Little, little, little.
01:23:37Little, little, little.
01:23:38Little, little, little.
01:23:38Little, little, little.
01:23:38Little, little, little.
01:23:38Little, little, little.
01:23:38Little, little, little.
01:23:39Little, little, little.
01:23:40Little, little, little.
01:23:41Little, little, little.
01:23:42Little, little, little.
01:23:45Little, little, little.
01:23:46Little, little, little.
01:23:49Little, little, little, little.
