00:01:30Without.
00:01:31Oh, how special. You have one?
00:01:34Yeah.
00:01:35I'll have the fourth one.
00:01:38Funny fellow, huh?
00:01:40With or without?
00:01:42With or without what?
00:01:44The story.
00:01:45Is it long?
00:01:46Depends on how many you drink.
00:01:49Okay, start mixing.
00:01:51I'm gonna work my way up to that free one.
00:01:55Hey, Mike.
00:01:57Why Texas Golden Horse?
00:02:00Why not Brooklyn Golden Horse?
00:02:03Cause Eddie Taylor came from Texas.
00:02:05Dallas, Texas.
00:02:11This is Dallas, Texas.
00:02:16Dallas, Dallas, Dallas, Dallas.
00:02:25New York City.
00:02:27Hey here.
00:02:29Oh no!
00:02:39Hey follow me.
00:02:41Cheryl, right over from Texas.
00:02:51I remember the Goldeniej çevres.
00:02:51Yeah.
00:02:52Yes.
00:02:58Have a good day.
00:03:14Say, copy.
00:03:15Got anything for me?
00:03:17Nope.
00:03:17You don't expect to get anything for that place.
00:03:20Not on the Dallas news, do you, Eddie?
00:03:22That's good. I'm kind of busy here anyhow.
00:03:25Who are you kidding?
00:03:26Copy!
00:03:27I'll see you.
00:03:34Give this to Talo. It might interest him.
00:03:36Yes, sir.
00:03:39Copy.
00:03:42Got something for you?
00:03:43Yeah, for me?
00:03:45San Angelo is your hometown, isn't it?
00:03:46Yeah.
00:03:47Got a story here just came in about old TX Talo.
00:03:50Any relation of yours?
00:03:51My grandfather.
00:03:52It says here he's dead.
00:03:58He was a very old man.
00:04:00Left an inheritance, huh?
00:04:02Yeah.
00:04:03His own private money belt and a couple of 1875 Colt revolvers.
00:04:09Well, he remembered me.
00:04:11I'd forgotten him.
00:04:15Seems he didn't believe in banks, so he left me $6,000 in cash in his money belt.
00:04:20Copy.
00:04:20I'll see you.
00:04:38Mr. McGonigal?
00:04:40Yeah?
00:04:41This is my last day here.
00:04:44Quitting?
00:04:45Since the first day I came here, three years ago, I've been waiting until I had enough money to do
00:04:49what I really want to do.
00:04:51Money?
00:04:51Your grandfather left you $6,000, not 60.
00:04:54That's enough.
00:04:55What are you going to do with this enormous fortune?
00:04:57Buy a ranch half the size of Texas?
00:04:59I'm going to New York to finish my play.
00:05:01Uh-huh.
00:05:02Well, when your smash hit pops on Broadway, the Fort Worth section will still be open.
00:05:06On the Dallas News?
00:05:07That's right.
00:05:09No thanks.
00:05:10So long, McGonigal.
00:05:11So long.
00:05:12Well, good luck.
00:05:34And he got off to a swell start.
00:05:38Twenty-six miles out of Dallas, he had car trouble.
00:05:41But if there had been no car trouble...
00:05:44Say, mister, would you give me a lift, please?
00:05:48I'm not very heavy.
00:05:50Where did you come from?
00:05:52I was asleep there beside the road.
00:05:54Then I heard you making all that noise.
00:05:56I guess it woke me.
00:05:58Go away.
00:06:01You're a very rude person.
00:06:03You're not a nice girl.
00:06:05Not on the highway this time of the night.
00:06:07There's nothing nice about you either.
00:06:09Not a single iota.
00:06:10It so happens I'm running away from home.
00:06:13Some people do it in style, some have to do it my way.
00:06:15So for your information, I am a nice girl.
00:06:18And now if you'll excuse me, good night.
00:06:34I can't sleep with all that racket you're making.
00:06:39I'm sorry my car broke down in your boudoir.
00:06:43If you had one iota of friendliness.
00:06:46Just one iota.
00:06:48I could fix your car for you.
00:06:51That I'd like to see.
00:07:03Thanks for fixing my car.
00:07:05You've already said that four times.
00:07:07I'm only trying to make conversation.
00:07:10Please don't exert yourself.
00:07:12I'm sure it must be very exhausting for you to try to be nice.
00:07:15I'm a fellow who's always been alone.
00:07:19Even when I work with others, I'm still alone.
00:07:21I'm not used to helping or being helped.
00:07:29I'm not used to helping others.
00:07:29Isn't it funny that I should be running away from the ranch when that's what I like most of all?
00:07:34What ranch?
00:07:36Oh, didn't I tell you?
00:07:37It's the family ranch in Texas.
00:07:40It's just outside of Kalinimo City.
00:07:42It covers about 115,000 acres.
00:07:45And you should see the horses we have.
00:07:472,800 of them, not counting the wild men and their foes.
00:07:51Look, Miss.
00:07:52I know Kalinimo City pretty well.
00:07:54There isn't a horse ranch within 200 miles of that place.
00:07:57And we both know it.
00:07:59Yeah, but if there was such a place, wouldn't it be wonderful?
00:08:03What are you really running away from?
00:08:05A gasoline station.
00:08:08That's why I know so much about cars.
00:08:11My brother and I ran it until he got married.
00:08:13And then when his wife moved in, I felt sort of unnecessary.
00:08:17You know, like I was crowding the place.
00:08:19Still, it's better than bucking the world on you.
00:08:22Unless you have a grandfather who left your hunk of dough.
00:08:27All I have is a diploma from the correspondence school.
00:08:30It's a very attractive diploma, though, and it says I'm a perfect secretary.
00:08:34Shorthand, typing, and business management.
00:08:37You've got a job waiting for you someplace, huh?
00:08:40No, but I'll get one.
00:08:41And then when I've made enough money, I'll come back to Texas
00:08:44and buy myself a ranch with horses.
00:08:46All the loveliest horses.
00:08:50You haven't told me anything about yourself.
00:08:52You've been awfully quiet.
00:08:53We interrupt this broadcast to bring you a very special bulletin.
00:08:56Red Carr is still at large.
00:08:58Red Carr, who robbed another bank in East Texas this morning,
00:09:01was last seen steaming away in a fast black coupe.
00:09:03Up to ten minutes ago, he had not been apprehended.
00:09:06Special warning to anyone who might see him.
00:09:08Red Carr always carries at least two heavy-caliber revolvers.
00:09:15Approach with caution.
00:09:21What kind of work do you do?
00:09:24Oh, I'm going to New York to write a play.
00:09:28You still haven't told me your name, or, or, uh, would you rather not?
00:09:34Talo.
00:09:35Eddie Talo.
00:09:36How do you spell the Talo?
00:09:38T-A-Y-L-O-E.
00:09:41My name is Peruna Dunklin.
00:09:43I spell the Dunklin.
00:09:44D-U-N-K...
00:09:47Watch out!
00:09:53Put those guns down.
00:09:55They might go off.
00:09:56Thank goodness you've come out of it.
00:09:58I thought it was the sheriff and the posse.
00:10:01Sheriff?
00:10:03But it was only Mr. Tebow and the doctor.
00:10:05Now, think quick.
00:10:06They'll be in here in a minute.
00:10:07We'll use the name you gave me last night.
00:10:09Eddie Talo.
00:10:10That's what I've already told them your name is.
00:10:12Are you listening to me?
00:10:13I'm listening.
00:10:14My name is Eddie Talo.
00:10:15Good.
00:10:16And I'm your sister, Perry.
00:10:17My sister?
00:10:19It makes it look better.
00:10:20Red Carr wouldn't be riding around with his sister.
00:10:23What's Red Carr got to do with this?
00:10:27Who are you?
00:10:28Eddie Talo.
00:10:30That's fine.
00:10:31And don't worry about your money, Gov.
00:10:32I put it under the couch,
00:10:33and Mr. Tebow helped me get you in the bed last night.
00:10:35I'm getting out of here riding.
00:10:37What happened to my shoulder?
00:10:38You're lucky you're alive.
00:10:40I don't know.
00:10:42And who's this Mr. Tebow?
00:10:44This is his house.
00:10:45He lives here alone.
00:10:46His wife ran away with the dentist.
00:10:48But he doesn't care, he says,
00:10:49because now he doesn't have to pay the bill.
00:10:51Anyway, he helped me get you here after the accident.
00:10:54You remember the accident.
00:10:57Don't you?
00:10:58Remember it.
00:10:59I'm still in it.
00:11:00It's getting worse.
00:11:02And we're so fortunate that Mr. Tebow didn't recognize you.
00:11:05Let's get something straight.
00:11:07I'm not Red Carr.
00:11:09Of course not.
00:11:10You're Eddie Talo.
00:11:11We agreed on that, didn't we?
00:11:12It's not a matter of agreement.
00:11:14I am Eddie Talo.
00:11:16And I'm your sister.
00:11:17I have no sister.
00:11:19You better have one if you know what's good for you.
00:11:24Hello, Doctor.
00:11:26Hello.
00:11:26Miss...
00:11:27Uh, Talo.
00:11:27Perry Talo.
00:11:31And, uh...
00:11:32You're...
00:11:33I'm Red Carr.
00:11:36You've heard about me, Doc.
00:11:37Haven't you?
00:11:38Uh, why, uh...
00:11:40Everybody around these parts knows about Red Carr.
00:11:44What are you nodding your head for?
00:11:46Don't you believe I'm Red Carr, don't you?
00:11:49Yeah.
00:11:50And now, perhaps it would be better if I talk to the patient alone.
00:12:00It's his left shoulder, Doctor.
00:12:02We'll know soon enough.
00:12:03I'll call you if I need you.
00:12:05Try to behave.
00:12:07Get in touch with the rest of the mob.
00:12:08Tell them to lay low until the heat's off.
00:12:11Oh!
00:12:15You got a good buy in this car, Ed.
00:12:17You did the buy?
00:12:18Four hundred miles from the motor sound like a hummingbird.
00:12:21You still getting off at Birmingham?
00:12:23Sure, if you're sure.
00:12:25Why don't you stay with me and...
00:12:27Or is that too big for you?
00:12:29I hadn't figured on New York.
00:12:32Why not make it New York?
00:12:34It's about time somebody like you went there and changed the place.
00:12:38Oh, I don't know.
00:12:42Perry.
00:12:45Yes?
00:12:47My shoulder doesn't bother me anymore.
00:12:49It hasn't hurt me for the last two days.
00:12:51Uh, I didn't say anything because...
00:12:54Well...
00:12:55What I mean is...
00:12:58You're a good driver.
00:13:01You mustn't fall in love with me.
00:13:03Who said anything about...
00:13:04Who'd spoil everything?
00:13:06What makes you think...
00:13:08I give up?
00:13:10You must admit there's always the possibility that you might want for us to become sweethearts.
00:13:14You admit that possibility?
00:13:17True?
00:13:18Well, you must fight that possibility.
00:13:20It'll be a struggle.
00:13:22A love affair at this time would interfere with my plans.
00:13:26You see, Eddie...
00:13:27I've always lived in a world of...
00:13:30Well, call it make-believe.
00:13:32But one thing is a reality.
00:13:35I have a great capacity for love.
00:13:37For people. For all kinds of people.
00:13:40Oh, I could fall in love, but that would be selfish of me.
00:13:44I feel I sort of owe it to those people to kind of ration out my affections.
00:13:49So, that's why you must deny yourself the prospect of loving me.
00:13:53When the time comes that I feel I've done all I can do for others, when that time comes, then
00:13:58perhaps we can sit down and talk things over.
00:14:01Goodie.
00:14:03I don't care whether you're laughing at me or not.
00:14:05That's the way I feel about everything, and this is the first time I've had an opportunity to do anything
00:14:09about it.
00:14:09So, please, be strong, show character, and don't fall in love with me.
00:14:14Perry.
00:14:15Yes?
00:14:15Do me a favor.
00:14:16Good.
00:14:17Shut up!
00:14:27What are you gonna do? Walk out on me right now?
00:14:30You said your shoulder's okay?
00:14:33Well, I'm a little tired. You drive for a while.
00:14:36After all, it's a long way to New York.
00:15:02For six states, she talked his ears off.
00:15:05Of course, Perry knew he wasn't red car.
00:15:08But she kept up her act just for the fun of watching him blow his top.
00:15:12And all the time, he didn't know that she was giving him the needle.
00:15:18It's funny how some gals know just when to use reversed English.
00:15:26Well, anyway, it's not expensive like the others.
00:15:33It'll make a good hideout.
00:15:35For the last time, I don't need a hideout.
00:15:42Well, goodbye.
00:15:43I hope you finish your plate pretty soon.
00:15:46Thanks for everything.
00:15:47What's your rush?
00:15:48Let's have breakfast first and talk things over.
00:15:51We've had plenty of time to talk.
00:15:53Now, I'm on my way to Brooklyn.
00:15:56Brooklyn?
00:15:56Did you come all the way to New York to end up in Brooklyn?
00:16:00I've heard so much about it.
00:16:01It sounds like a truly wondrous plate.
00:16:04What's so wondrous about it?
00:16:07Brooklyn appeals to me.
00:16:08Is there any reason why I shouldn't make it my destination?
00:16:11Well, that's not a logical question.
00:16:13I can't give you a logical answer.
00:16:17Well, goodbye.
00:16:25I hate to see you rush off like that.
00:16:30Eddie, you're being romantic.
00:16:32I give up.
00:16:33In plain and simple language, goodbye.
00:16:39Will you get in touch with me when you get settled?
00:16:44All right, Eddie.
00:17:11Let me have a room and bath, please.
00:17:20Eight.
00:17:24105.
00:17:36I'm not a bellhop, you understand.
00:17:38I'm a kind of a general all around everything.
00:17:43A bellhop would start to death in a flea bag like this.
00:17:46Present company excluded, the customers here are anti-tipping.
00:17:50That's why I gotta be illegal to make a living.
00:17:53Like I take small bets from the horse-playing set.
00:17:56I got a regular clientele.
00:17:58You can become a member.
00:18:01Where's the phone?
00:18:02No phone.
00:18:03A hotel without a telephone?
00:18:07Downstairs, near the bar, there is a public phone for the accommodation of the guests.
00:18:12That's very accommodating.
00:18:13Frankly, it's a plot against the customers to make them drink.
00:18:17You see, every time you go down and answer the phone, you buy a drink.
00:18:20Well, what if I don't want a drink?
00:18:21Don't be a character.
00:18:23You get into the habit.
00:18:24That's why Mr. Simpson yanked all the phones out of the rooms.
00:18:27Let them do their phoning in the bar, he said.
00:18:29That'll make them drink.
00:18:32Understand the psychology?
00:18:33Well, I don't want to hurt your feelings, but I don't understand the psychology.
00:18:36Look, I'll explain it to you very simple.
00:18:41Say you're a guy, and you answer the phone, and it's your girl, and she says,
00:18:45Harry, take it like a man.
00:18:48From now on, Joe has took your place in my heart forevermore.
00:18:52What is Harry gonna do?
00:18:54There is a bar, all laid out for him.
00:18:57Congenial company, and a bartender will listen to anything.
00:19:00What is Harry gonna do?
00:19:03Right, and it doesn't make any difference whether it's his girlfriend, or it's the boss,
00:19:08or even if it's the book he's trying to collect the debt.
00:19:11Good news or bad news, he's bound to take a drink.
00:19:14Sometimes to forget, sometimes to remember.
00:19:17And then there's a... there's the nervous type.
00:19:20He's gotta have a drink before he answers the phone.
00:19:23This type of character...
00:19:24Maybe you don't have to work, but I do.
00:19:27A writer.
00:19:28Do you mind?
00:19:29A regular character.
00:19:31If anybody calls you...
00:19:32Nobody's gonna call me.
00:19:33But if I get a call from Brooklyn, and it's a girl...
00:19:37Nobody's gonna call me.
00:19:38But if anybody does, I'll come up and get you.
00:19:40You don't have to worry about tipping me.
00:19:42I make my money illegal, but legitimate.
00:19:45Only... I gotta figure you out first.
00:19:50Yes. Yes.
00:19:52We'll do everything we possibly can.
00:19:54Goodbye.
00:19:56And now, Miss Taylor, what kind of room would you like, and what district?
00:19:59You know, the YWCA may not be able to find it for you.
00:20:03I'd like to live in the loft of a stable.
00:20:06A stable.
00:20:08Did you say you wanted to live in a stable?
00:20:11Yes, please.
00:20:12If it isn't too much trouble.
00:20:14You're aware that there might be horses in that stable?
00:20:17Oh, yes, of course.
00:20:19I'd favor a stable with horses in it.
00:20:22But if you can't find one with a horse in it, I'd still favor a stable.
00:20:26Even if it was empty.
00:20:28Oh, well now, that makes it much simpler.
00:20:30I thought...
00:20:32I hoped that I would be able to find such a place here.
00:20:36After all, this is Brooklyn, so...
00:20:39Naturally...
00:20:40Oh, yes. Naturally.
00:20:44Naturally.
00:20:46Naturally.
00:20:52I would be happy.
00:21:04Sorry.
00:21:05Here, Charlie.
00:21:05Share this with me.
00:21:10Good night, My dear.
00:21:11Good night.
00:21:21I don't know what it is, I don't know what it is, I don't know what it is, and I've
00:21:28been told dozens and dozens of doctors.
00:21:47That wasn't a nice thing to do. My dear child, I am ashamed of myself. You'd never think I used
00:21:53to be able to empty a purse with a hand as light as a goose feather.
00:21:57You could have asked. I asked no one. In any way, with my police record, I shouldn't even be seen
00:22:02on the streets.
00:22:05By the way, honey, before you call the coppers, would you treat me to a meal, a mere gesture, and
00:22:11I promised not to run away, I couldn't, I...
00:22:20But you've got to answer some questions.
00:22:23Why? Because you have a pencil and a notebook?
00:22:26Because it's the law.
00:22:28I've told you, she doesn't feel well. Now isn't that enough?
00:22:32Okay, we'll let it go at that. Now how about a nice, clean ambulance?
00:22:37None of that, dear boy. No ambulances.
00:22:40But you're sick lately.
00:22:41Why make her sicker?
00:22:43Ambulances, hospitals, a lot of questions. I know the whole routine. Very unhealthy, all those questions.
00:22:50Okay, then just give the facts. What's your name?
00:22:54Perry Calo.
00:22:55You know, I think that the safety...
00:22:56Mind if I get the facts.
00:23:00T-A-Y-L-O.
00:23:03Add an A.
00:23:07And the lady, you ever seen her before?
00:23:10Enough of this.
00:23:11Child, I don't want to burden you with...
00:23:14Oh, dear.
00:23:16Send for the wagon.
00:23:18You know, they should send you home.
00:23:20Two will get you five, she hasn't even got her home.
00:23:22She asked you got her home.
00:23:24And how would you know?
00:23:25Because...
00:23:27Because she's my mother.
00:23:31Your mother, huh?
00:23:33What kind of a daughter are you not to feed your own flesh and blood?
00:23:37Because she was too proud and independent to accept help.
00:23:41And then one day she ran away from home to see what she could pick up on her own.
00:23:49I didn't catch up with her until today.
00:23:51She didn't want to be a burden on me.
00:23:54Or on my brother.
00:23:56You see, I have a brother, too.
00:23:58His name is Edward Taylor, and he lives at the Grand National Hotel.
00:24:02She's his mother, too.
00:24:06Now, that makes everything fine, doesn't it?
00:24:09Uh-huh.
00:24:10Uh-huh.
00:24:12Okay, you gonna take her home with you and take care of her?
00:24:15Of course.
00:24:17And your address?
00:24:18Grand National?
00:24:20No, no.
00:24:21It's 9006 Flatbush Place.
00:24:24Not the house itself.
00:24:26The stable.
00:24:339006 Flatbush Place.
00:24:34Now you're doing the right thing.
00:24:36And where do you live?
00:24:37Oh, I don't want to get mixed up in this.
00:24:38I was just waiting for a downtown express, but, uh, I'll take a local.
00:24:55But I have to win.
00:24:56Will one of you sweet girls please say something?
00:24:58My daughter and I have answered all of your questions.
00:25:01How much longer do we have to stand here?
00:25:06Maybe they don't want us to rent the stable off.
00:25:08We do.
00:25:13You appear to be satisfactory.
00:25:15You don't drink. You don't smoke.
00:25:16And you're not given to entertaining gentlemen calls.
00:25:19Very satisfactory.
00:25:21Then we can have it?
00:25:25Yes. We'll show it to you.
00:25:48Come in.
00:25:49Telephone for you.
00:25:50For me?
00:25:51The police department.
00:25:52Well, it's a gag.
00:25:53What should the police want me?
00:25:55Don't be disturbed, character.
00:25:56When the police use the telephone, it can't be anything serious.
00:25:59Maybe they just want you to... to identify a corpse.
00:26:03It's okay. You can go that way.
00:26:04We're informal here.
00:26:21Hello?
00:26:22Yes.
00:26:23This is Eddie Taylor speaking.
00:26:26My mother!
00:26:28Well, if my sister Perry told you that, you can take her word for it.
00:26:33Yes, sir.
00:26:35I'll see to it that my mother's properly fed from now on.
00:27:09Another telephone call. Your sister.
00:27:12Tell her. Tell her that I...
00:27:14I'll take it.
00:27:32Hello. Now let Perry, I'm getting...
00:27:36Yes, the police call me.
00:27:38No, they didn't fingerpin me.
00:27:41Listen, Perry.
00:27:42How can you get yourself into so much trouble in so short a time?
00:27:46There's been no trouble, not one iota.
00:27:49As a matter of fact, I have something good to tell you.
00:27:51I found a wonderful mother for you.
00:27:54But I don't want a mother.
00:27:56But Redcar needs a mother. Don't you understand the psychology?
00:27:59I don't care if Redcar needs a mother. I'm trying to write a play.
00:28:04All right, but don't get hysterical just because I was trying to help a nice lady who was hungry.
00:28:11So I arranged to have our mother stay with me.
00:28:14Go on. Give me the facts.
00:28:16Now if you'll promise not to get mad, I'll explain something about our mother.
00:28:19You see, many years ago, she had a sort of, um, a tendency to, um, to pickpockets.
00:28:28Did you say that our sweet, loving mother has a notorious pickpocket with a long prison record?
00:28:34Will you or will you not stand by me?
00:28:36Of course I'll stand by you.
00:28:38What else am I going to do?
00:28:40But Perry, please, can't you get yourself involved in something simple?
00:28:46Like a triple murder.
00:28:48Oh, Eddie, I'm terribly sorry I've been such a burden to you.
00:28:50And you have my solemn word that I'll never do anything to make you angry or upset you again.
00:28:57Okay, Perry, okay. I'm not angry with you.
00:29:07Hello? Hello, Perry? Perry?
00:29:20Let me have a double ceremony.
00:29:25Let me have a double ceremony.
00:29:56Yes?
00:29:57Oh, I'm Eddie Tello. I'm expected, I believe.
00:30:07These are my sisters, Miss Pearl Cheever and Miss Opal Cheever.
00:30:11How do you do?
00:30:13He doesn't resemble his mother.
00:30:15He doesn't resemble his sister.
00:30:17No.
00:30:19I take after my father.
00:30:21Oh.
00:30:24We do not permit smoking here.
00:30:28I'm sorry.
00:30:29We're very disagreeable.
00:30:31Everyone in the neighborhood says we're mean and spiteful.
00:30:34And utterly selfish.
00:30:36And we are.
00:30:37Yes.
00:30:39I'm sure you're not.
00:30:40We do not deny the truth.
00:30:42We're most unpleasant indeed.
00:30:44And we'd rather you didn't go around Brooklyn saying nice things about us.
00:30:47No.
00:30:52My son.
00:30:54My dear, dear son.
00:30:57It's been so long, my darling boy.
00:31:08You may use the sitting room.
00:31:10Thank you, dear girls.
00:31:11Come along, my sweet.
00:31:13Remember, no smoking.
00:31:22Excuse us, please, dear girl.
00:31:28You could have called me mother.
00:31:29But I wanted to call you a lot of things.
00:31:31But that triple threat out there stopped me cold.
00:31:34I called you about Perry.
00:31:36Well, it's about time.
00:31:38If I'd known this address, I would have been here three weeks ago.
00:31:40Well, Perry didn't want to get in touch with you until she had a job.
00:31:44Now she's got a job.
00:31:46Why didn't she call me?
00:31:47Well, it's a strange kind of a job she's got, my boy.
00:31:52If this job is something you've got her, if you're getting her mixed up in something crooked, I'll...
00:31:57Just look who's talking.
00:31:59I may have lifted a lever now and then, but I never pulled a bank job.
00:32:03But for Perry's sweet sake, your secret shall remain locked deep within my heart.
00:32:08What about Perry's job?
00:32:10What's wrong?
00:32:11That's why I thought we'd drop down and watch her while she's at work.
00:32:14Then you can decide what course of action to date.
00:32:17Oh, can't you tell me about it?
00:32:19Where's she working?
00:32:21Coney Island.
00:32:22And imagine we can get some hot dogs while we're there.
00:32:25Come along, my sweet.
00:32:36What time will you be back, Mrs. Taylor?
00:32:38Oh, in an hour or two or three.
00:32:42And thanks for a most unpleasant time.
00:32:45You must come again, Mr. Taylor.
00:32:47Oh, I will.
00:32:48Anytime I want to get depressed.
00:32:56We should have listened in on their conversation.
00:32:58We should have.
00:32:59Next time we will.
00:33:19Hey, I'll get your hot dogs.
00:33:21Giant size hot dogs.
00:33:22Coney Island special.
00:33:24Twelve inches from head to toe.
00:33:25I'll have one.
00:33:26You'll have one what?
00:33:28Well, I was under the impression you sold hot dogs here.
00:33:31Well, speak up, buddy.
00:33:32I can't read your mind.
00:33:34Hey, I'll get your hot dogs.
00:33:35Everybody likes them.
00:33:37Only tend to a customer, Mustard.
00:33:39No.
00:33:41Take it or leave it, buddy.
00:33:42In this business, we've got a short season.
00:33:49Excuse me, sir.
00:33:49I didn't mean to offend you.
00:33:51Oh, the Park Avenue type.
00:34:00But I told you I didn't want another hot dog.
00:34:03Well, don't eat it.
00:34:04I'm just trying to keep both your hands occupied.
00:34:06Now, here, hold these for me a minute.
00:34:10Excuse me.
00:34:11Excuse me.
00:34:12Excuse me?
00:34:14I know that little guy.
00:34:15He didn't recognize me, but I spotted him right away.
00:34:18He's called Doc because he looks like a nerve specialist.
00:34:21One of the smoothest operators in the profession.
00:34:24Your profession?
00:34:25Uh-huh.
00:34:26By the way, you better look and see if you still got your wallet.
00:34:35I knew he was lifting levels the minute he bumped into you.
00:34:38And I suppose you lifted it from him to prove to me that you've reformed.
00:34:41No, child.
00:34:42I just want to see if my technique is better than the doctor.
00:34:46Maybe I didn't prepare it.
00:34:48I wish you would, you said.
00:34:50And now, ladies and gentlemen, for your pleasure.
00:34:53I give you the greatest entertainment value on the Midway.
00:34:58Ziggy's internationally famous Water Nymph.
00:35:01This is it.
00:35:03What's Fairy doing in there?
00:35:04We're down here to find out.
00:35:06And I hope she can swim.
00:35:08Presenting...
00:35:09The Water Nymph.
00:35:16There they are, everybody.
00:35:18Ain't they out of this world?
00:35:20And each one born and bred in Brooklyn.
00:35:24And this one, all the way from Texas.
00:35:28Oh, look at that fairy!
00:35:30She's all right!
00:35:31Well, these girls are not only gorgeous, they're chairdevils.
00:35:35As you will soon see for yourselves behind these closed walls.
00:35:39And now, ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to have you meet the girls personally.
00:35:45Honey, tell the folks your name.
00:35:47Jean Dean.
00:35:51Linda Lombard.
00:36:10And you, honey.
00:36:13Hey, you!
00:36:15Hey, you!
00:36:21My name is Perry...
00:36:27My name is Perry Taylor.
00:36:29My name is Perry Taylor.
00:36:34Keep your hands off of her.
00:36:39Go away, Sonny, you bother me.
00:36:45I'm so proud of you.
00:36:45Right down this way, folks.
00:36:47Come on down, right down this way.
00:36:48The biggest show on the midway.
00:36:50Come on down, folks.
00:36:51The biggest show on the midway.
00:36:52The show is going on now.
00:36:54Right this way, folks.
00:36:55The biggest show on the midway.
00:36:56See the fire in it, folks.
00:36:58Come on down, right down this way, folks.
00:37:00Come on down, way.
00:37:01Keep the jungle, the beautiful Tiamese Cymbal dancers.
00:37:04Take it right this way, folks.
00:37:05Go right in.
00:37:05Right over there, folks.
00:37:06Get your tickets.
00:37:22I'm obliged to you, Eddie. Even though you made me lose my job. I'm obliged to you because I know
00:37:28you meant well. But in the future, please let me pick my own jobs and you stick to your playwriting.
00:37:33Oh, what's the use? I give up. Here. Call it a loan or whatever you want. You'll need it until
00:37:42you get another job.
00:37:45Thank you, but I'm not looking for charity. Good night.
00:37:54Hey, mother of mine. Here, you try to give it to her.
00:38:00Well, she said she didn't want to. I know, but you're slick enough to figure out a way of getting
00:38:04it to her.
00:38:05Or are you going to get high hat on me, too?
00:38:10Frankly, yes. We, and I speak for my daughter and myself, want no further interference from you.
00:38:40I told you, Mr. Arco never does musicals.
00:38:43Junior, how many times do I have to tell you to keep that phone off the hook when I'm trying
00:38:48to eat?
00:38:48Eating?
00:38:50Yeah, I was having a little snack in there, but I've got a very sensitive stomach.
00:38:54And I can't eat a thing with the phones bringing a...
00:38:56Do you mean to tell me that you've been eating all the time I've been waiting?
00:38:59Junior.
00:39:00Yeah?
00:39:01Who is this man?
00:39:02He wrote a play.
00:39:06I returned it to him, but he insisted on a personal interview with you.
00:39:09I told him you'd be tied up for at least an hour.
00:39:12And all that time you were only eating.
00:39:14Well, why not?
00:39:15I didn't bother you when you were working on your play, did I?
00:39:18Why do you feel that you should bother me when I'm trying to eat?
00:39:21Oh, stop that. This is no beauty parlor.
00:39:24Now, do you mind if I return to my chicken sandwich on white toast with no dressing?
00:39:29Wait a minute.
00:39:30Before you go, I would like to know something.
00:39:32In fact, I've reached the point where I must know.
00:39:35You see, everybody on Broadway has turned down my play.
00:39:38Now that I've exhausted the field, I've got to know.
00:39:41Should I try to write another play?
00:39:43Well, I never read your play.
00:39:45You never?
00:39:46Well, how could you turn it down?
00:39:48Because Junior didn't like it.
00:39:50Junior didn't like it?
00:39:51How could you let a thing like that pass judgment on my play?
00:39:55Now, wait a minute, son.
00:39:56Take it easy.
00:39:57Junior has an uncanny eye for anything that looks like a potential hit play.
00:40:01Why, he could get a million jobs tomorrow anyplace on Broadway.
00:40:04But he's my son, and I won't let him go.
00:40:07Junior, tell the gentleman if he has any talent.
00:40:09I don't care what he thinks.
00:40:10Well, you ask me a question.
00:40:12Junior will have to answer you.
00:40:13I can't.
00:40:15All right.
00:40:15I'll take his opinion.
00:40:19So, Eddie asked Junior.
00:40:20But even Junior didn't like it.
00:40:22Nobody liked it.
00:40:23Eddie was a bust.
00:40:24When I met up with him, Eddie had fire coming out of his eyes
00:40:27and smoke coming out of his ears.
00:40:29Hold it, Mike.
00:40:32You better hitch up that third horse.
00:40:42What's more?
00:40:44What's more with what?
00:40:46What's more with a story?
00:40:48How many times does that horse have to kick me before I get the end?
00:40:52Mm-hmm.
00:40:53So far, pal, you've only been riding side saddle.
00:40:55Now we really go places.
00:40:57Because here's where I met up with Eddie.
00:41:00You remember the bellhop?
00:41:02Well, Eddie tried to pass that bar once too often.
00:41:05It was the night that Joe was sick and had asked me to stand in for him.
00:41:11Bartender.
00:41:12Bart.
00:41:14Good evening.
00:41:16Sorry to keep you waiting.
00:41:18I'm just getting ready to close up.
00:41:22Okay, what do you have?
00:41:24Poison.
00:41:25What kind of a chaser?
00:41:27Don't be a comedian.
00:41:29Give me a bourbon and water.
00:41:31A bourbon and water.
00:41:37You can call me Mike.
00:41:39Why?
00:41:40That's my name.
00:41:42Oh.
00:41:48I want a bourbon.
00:41:49Yeah, I know.
00:41:50But I want you to try one of these.
00:41:52It's a little concoction of my own.
00:41:55Look, I ordered a straight bourbon.
00:41:57Yeah, I know.
00:41:58But just try one of these.
00:42:08Now, can I have a straight bourbon?
00:42:21Good, huh?
00:42:24What do they call this drink?
00:42:28Golden horse.
00:42:29All okay, Mike.
00:42:31Let me have another golden horse.
00:42:38You're new around here, aren't you, Mike?
00:42:40Hmm?
00:42:40You're new around here.
00:42:42Oh, yeah.
00:42:43I'm only here for the evening.
00:42:44Joe has a coal.
00:42:45Oh, say, Mike.
00:42:47How do you make this, uh, golden horse?
00:42:50Well, first a little dab of Texas sunshine.
00:42:54Then, some rain.
00:42:58A little hail.
00:43:01Gotta have some hail.
00:43:04Some snow.
00:43:13And then, you make a very tiny waterfall out of it.
00:43:17Just a little titsy one.
00:43:19And you top it off with some good old Mother Earth.
00:43:25I like you, Mike.
00:43:26You've got a great sense of humor.
00:43:28Pour one for yourself.
00:43:31Thanks, Eddie.
00:43:32How'd you know my name was Eddie?
00:43:34Oh, um, he told me when you first came in.
00:43:48Eddie really tied one on that night.
00:43:51Six hours and 12 bars later, I got the whole story.
00:43:56How he cost Perry a job, and how he was the world's worst playwright.
00:44:01Along with it, I got the idea that there might be something I could do for these kids.
00:44:08Smart thing first.
00:44:10Got Eddie sobered up to easy weight.
00:44:13Flat on his back in Prospect Park.
00:44:24Mike.
00:44:25Mike?
00:44:28How is it, Eddie?
00:44:32New world's record for a hangover.
00:44:36Well, the Turkish bath ought to help you a lot.
00:44:38There's one near here, too.
00:44:39Best Turkish bath in Brooklyn.
00:44:41Brooklyn.
00:44:43A truly wondrous place.
00:44:45I thought you'd like it.
00:44:47And Prospect Park.
00:44:51Oh.
00:44:53Oh, I could lie here for hours.
00:44:56It's like Texas.
00:44:58Without the sagebrush.
00:45:02You know what I need?
00:45:04A long ride on a horse.
00:45:07That picks me up.
00:45:09Well, let's try the Turkish bath first.
00:45:13And while we're there, you can get your clothes clean.
00:45:16Then, if you want, you can rent a horse.
00:45:19I'll go along with you on that Turkish bath deal.
00:45:23The horse is out.
00:45:26It's going to be pouring here in a few minutes.
00:45:29I wouldn't take a mule out in such weather.
00:45:31Say, I know where we can rent a horse and the rain won't even touch us.
00:45:34You can have any kind of a gate you want.
00:45:36Fast or slow.
00:45:37Or one that'll rock you like a baby in a cradle.
00:45:40And you can have your Texas sagebrush, too.
00:45:42And where is this heavenly spot?
00:45:44Right here in Brooklyn.
00:45:46This Brooklyn is truly a wondrous place.
00:45:54The Turkish bath was one thing.
00:45:56But this I don't believe.
00:45:58Here I get to ride a horse through sagebrush?
00:46:00Come on, Eddie.
00:46:03So, I took him to Mr. Gabulian's riding academy.
00:46:09It was strictly out of this world.
00:46:12And that included Mr. Gabulian.
00:46:15He was a whacked up guy.
00:46:17A fugitive from Ripley.
00:46:20Wow.
00:46:21What is it?
00:46:22A zoo?
00:46:23Mike, a man of your work.
00:46:25It's all here.
00:46:27I'm wondering if I am.
00:46:28Well, it was a place a man could go when he got fed up working nine to five.
00:46:33But two bits of Mr. Gabulian's, he could live dangerous.
00:46:37Sail the seven seas and track down wild game.
00:46:42Yeah.
00:46:43The academy was something.
00:46:45And it was just what the doctor ordered for the kid.
00:46:48Soon as Eddie got one foot inside the place,
00:46:50I could see his troubles begin to peel off.
00:46:53I give you your choice of any horse in the place.
00:46:56Use that one.
00:47:24Oh, hello, Mr. Gabulian.
00:47:26Sorry to disturb you.
00:47:29Oh, hello, Mr. Gabulian.
00:47:30Meet my friend, Eddie.
00:47:33Eddie and I want to ride your horses.
00:47:35Excuse me, please, gentlemen.
00:47:37The rain was so heavy, so I think nobody comes.
00:47:40So I have me sleep in the house on the elephant.
00:47:44Excuse, gentlemen, please.
00:47:46Please.
00:47:47What's he doing up there?
00:47:49Well,
00:47:57That's Captain Lars Jeanne.
00:48:01He was a real skipper once.
00:48:19That boat teaches you not to become seasick, huh?
00:48:24I guess so.
00:48:32Excuse me, please, gentlemen.
00:48:42Excuse me, please, gentlemen.
00:48:50It's a miserable day out.
00:48:52Oh, sure.
00:48:53It's good that they are here.
00:48:57It's good that they are here.
00:49:06It's good that they are here.
00:49:22Here's what they are!
00:49:37Here's Mr. Robert Bruce McQuirter.
00:49:42He owns a nice birch store on Fulton Street, so every day he rides the camera.
00:49:58He looks like he's having a lot of fun.
00:50:00A lot of fun? That's the only thing that makes him happy.
00:50:10Now, this is to start. When you like it fast, move forward.
00:50:19Boy, Perry would really love this.
00:50:21He'd go crazy for this machinery.
00:50:26Hey, Mike, look at me. Right across West Texas.
00:50:31Come on.
00:50:33Give me your hand.
00:50:35Oh, you're good.
00:50:39Mr. Kaboulian.
00:50:58Yes.
00:50:59I want to make you a business proposition.
00:51:02You see?
00:51:03I want you to hire a young girl to help you run this place.
00:51:05Maybe I better wash my face.
00:51:08My eyes, maybe they are open, but my mind is asleep.
00:51:12Excuse me, please.
00:51:14Mr. Kaboulian.
00:51:16Yes?
00:51:17She'd be wonderful for you.
00:51:19She loves horses and...
00:51:20And she could fix any mechanical gadget in case something should go wrong.
00:51:26You make a joke.
00:51:28Excuse me, please.
00:51:30Mr. Kaboulian.
00:51:32And yes?
00:51:34I mean it more seriously.
00:51:35She would be a real help.
00:51:37Help me what, sir, please?
00:51:39Help me not to see a customer?
00:51:41Help me not to pay the rent?
00:51:43Help me not eat like a man should eat?
00:51:46Help me that way, mister?
00:51:48No.
00:51:49It's not right.
00:51:50You shouldn't make fun of me.
00:51:52Excuse me.
00:51:53I go back to sleep.
00:51:55Mr. Kaboulian.
00:51:59Yes?
00:52:00I know you can't afford it.
00:52:02So I'll give you her salary every week and then you can pay her.
00:52:05In other words, she'll be getting the job on her own.
00:52:07Understand?
00:52:08Why should I go back to sleep?
00:52:11I stand here and I sleep already.
00:52:14Don't you see?
00:52:15This girl needs a job.
00:52:17And I want her to have this one.
00:52:18Here.
00:52:19You'll have someone to help you.
00:52:21And it'll cost you nothing.
00:52:24It will cost me nothing?
00:52:26Absolutely nothing.
00:52:27I'll even pay for the ad in the paper.
00:52:29Wanted.
00:52:30Young girl from Texas.
00:52:31Must know and love all kinds of horses.
00:52:33Must be honor graduate of correspondence course.
00:52:36Now remember, the only one you hire is Perry Telo.
00:52:39Perry Telo?
00:52:40I'll write it all out for you later.
00:52:41What have you got to lose?
00:52:43Just think, Mr. Kaboulian.
00:52:45You can sleep as much as you want.
00:52:47I think it over.
00:52:49What is there to think about?
00:52:52Nothing.
00:52:53Only it makes it sound like better business.
00:52:57So I think it over for a minute, please.
00:52:59Then I give you my answer, which will be yes.
00:53:02Swell.
00:53:06Now, we each put in a nickel to begin with.
00:53:14That's my girls.
00:53:15Now, let me see your hands.
00:53:18Now, you remember you all promised Perry you'd learn to play games.
00:53:22You know how anxious she is to liven up the place.
00:53:24And how are you going to play poker if you don't let me teach you?
00:53:29That's my girl.
00:53:31Well, you have a very bad poker hand, dear.
00:53:33Two, four, seven, ten jacks.
00:53:35Just nothing at all.
00:53:37And if I were you, I'd hold on to this jack, because that's your highest card, see?
00:53:40And ask for four more cards.
00:53:42I'd gladly give them to you.
00:53:43Nice, fresh, new ones.
00:53:45Now, no, you hold on to that, dear.
00:53:48Now, Ruby, let me see what you have.
00:53:51Why, that's wonderful.
00:53:53You've got a pair of fours.
00:53:55Now, if I get a pair of twos or threes, you'll beat me, you see?
00:53:58You see how simple it is to play poker?
00:54:00Now, dear, let's see what you have.
00:54:07Oh.
00:54:08Well, you have a very good hand, dear.
00:54:11Three queens and a pair of aces.
00:54:13A very good hand, indeed.
00:54:15In poker, one must always try to improve one's hand.
00:54:17So, I'd draw away these two aces.
00:54:21And try to buy another queen, because four queens, you see,
00:54:24would give you a perfectly lovely hand.
00:54:27Now, we'll each put in another nickel in order to buy fresh cards.
00:54:32Come along.
00:54:33Oh, how I wish, Perry, we're here to see you at play.
00:54:38Now, three for you.
00:54:39One, two, three.
00:54:41And two for you.
00:54:43One, two.
00:54:45And four for you.
00:54:47One, two, three, four.
00:54:50Now, I'm not taking anything.
00:54:55That's what's called standing pat.
00:54:58Now, we'll all show our hands in order to see who's won.
00:55:03Well, now, come, come, girls.
00:55:05If we don't show our hands, how are we gonna know who's the lucky girl?
00:55:08And the lucky one wins all the money in the center of the table.
00:55:13Now, now, I have a straight.
00:55:17Five, six, seven, eight, nine.
00:55:20Now, you remember what I told you about a straight?
00:55:24I'm gonna be awfully hard to eat.
00:55:27Awfully hard.
00:55:29But that's the game of poker for you.
00:55:31That's what makes it so terribly exciting.
00:55:33Now, let's see, dearest, what you have.
00:55:35Come along.
00:55:37Oh, you're a poor unlucky saint.
00:55:42I haven't got anything, not even a pair.
00:55:45Now, let's see what you have, dear.
00:55:50Well, you still have only a pair of fours.
00:55:53That doesn't beat a straight.
00:55:56Now, dearest, let's see what you have.
00:56:06Four queens.
00:56:08Four of a kind beats a straight.
00:56:10That's what you taught us.
00:56:11I sure enough taught you that.
00:56:13I sure enough did.
00:56:16Well, we'll have to try another time.
00:56:18I've got a job.
00:56:19A new job.
00:56:20A wonderful job.
00:56:21A most heavenly job.
00:56:23Oh, good news is always good news.
00:56:25I'm so happy for you, darling.
00:56:27It's just what I've always wanted.
00:56:29Horses and a camel and an elephant and a lot of other things.
00:56:32I didn't know the circus was in town.
00:56:33It isn't.
00:56:34We always know when it comes.
00:56:35We always get free passes from our grocer, Mr. Brickle.
00:56:38No, no, no.
00:56:39It's a riding academy.
00:56:40And all the animals are mechanical.
00:56:42But they're so lifelike to practically real.
00:56:44And I'm to be executive manager.
00:56:46Isn't that too good to be true?
00:56:47Oh, no.
00:56:49But I've got to have a riding habit.
00:56:51I wouldn't look as if I were running the place unless I did.
00:56:53You know, I've noticed that our dear, dear Chiva sisters are very handy with the sewing machine.
00:56:58We've never made a riding habit.
00:57:00Only Mother Hubbard's.
00:57:01And slipcovers.
00:57:02Yes, but under my supervision, dear girls, you'll make a riding habit.
00:57:06A more than suitable riding habit.
00:57:08But first, let's return all the losers to the losers.
00:57:11You were the only loser.
00:57:13Well, I guess I'll have to teach you how to play gin rummy.
00:57:16There were about 50 other girls for the job, but I got it.
00:57:19All in all, those three girls downstairs clicked me for eight bucks and 40 cents.
00:57:24I tried blackjack, casino, double solitaire.
00:57:27I even invented a game and called it Chuck Full of Luck.
00:57:30But that's a commodity on which the Chiva sisters seem to have a monopoly.
00:57:33But it's worth it.
00:57:34Do you notice how congenial they've become?
00:57:36I knew it would work, and I'm so grateful to you.
00:57:39After all, it's your money, child.
00:57:40If you don't mind spending it trying to warm up those three ice cubes and petticoats, turn around.
00:57:46Not that I think they ever will warm up.
00:57:47Oh, yes, they will.
00:57:49I've already convinced them to come to the academy one of these days and try a ride on the animals.
00:57:53I don't get it.
00:57:55This concern you have for other folks.
00:57:57I don't get it at all.
00:57:59I've met a lot of people in my day, both inside of prisons and outside.
00:58:03But somebody like you, what do you expect to get out of it?
00:58:07Oh, if I make people happy, it makes me feel good, that's all.
00:58:09But what about making yourself happy?
00:58:12But I am, very.
00:58:15I'll let you in on a little secret.
00:58:18You're not.
00:58:19And I'm referring to that certain party named Eddie Taylor.
00:58:23You know, I was in love with my probation officer once.
00:58:26I had such a crush on him, it gave me a thrill just to report to his office.
00:58:30But, of course, I had to curb any display of affection because, after all, he was my probation officer.
00:58:35But you and this Eddie.
00:58:39How do I look?
00:58:40Don't ask me.
00:58:41Ask Eddie Taylor.
00:58:42I'm sorry.
00:58:42I'm sorry.
00:58:43I'm sorry.
00:58:45But, dear child, you interfered in my life, so I feel I have a right to interfere in yours.
00:58:51You did something that state prisons, penitentiaries, small jails and eight parole boards couldn't do.
00:58:59You made an honest woman of him.
00:59:01Of course, there's enough larceny left in me to keep me attractive.
00:59:05But I want to do something for you.
00:59:08May I, sweet?
00:59:12I know what you're going to say.
00:59:14Well, then why don't you do it?
00:59:16I can't.
00:59:17I, I can't now.
00:59:18Not until he's finished his play.
00:59:20Because that's what he wants to do more than anything else in the world.
00:59:23And, and I wouldn't want to, to clutter things up for him.
00:59:27You could help.
00:59:29That's what a woman's for.
00:59:30To make a man think he's successful.
00:59:33Oh, no, no.
00:59:34He, he told me definitely.
00:59:36He works alone.
00:59:37After he's a success in the theater, then maybe...
00:59:43Well, maybe that.
00:59:44Well, I tried to help.
00:59:48But you have.
00:59:51If I was certain.
00:59:53If I were really certain that Eddie wanted me.
00:59:58You know what I mean.
00:59:59Well, the least you can do is to call up that idiot and tell him you're working and where.
01:00:05I'll do it.
01:00:07I'll do it right now.
01:00:12Do you think you'll like me in this outfit?
01:00:14Well, I don't know about him.
01:00:16But a normal male...
01:00:18Well, a normal male would be very normal about it.
01:00:26Eddie.
01:00:32I took the liberty of coming here.
01:00:34You don't have to apologize for visiting me.
01:00:37I'm not apologizing.
01:00:40I came to say goodbye.
01:00:43Goodbye.
01:00:44Goodbye?
01:00:46You mean like...
01:00:48Farewell?
01:00:49I've been wanting to say...
01:00:52Farewell to everyone.
01:00:53To you, to Mike.
01:00:54Except Mike isn't around.
01:00:58So...
01:00:59Farewell, Barry.
01:01:02Farewell, Eddie.
01:01:04And...
01:01:06Goodbye.
01:01:09They turned down your play.
01:01:11And you're giving up?
01:01:14That's not right.
01:01:15You've got to have faith.
01:01:17Particularly in yourself.
01:01:18Faith?
01:01:19Yes, faith.
01:01:20And don't make it sound like some cheap commodity flooding the market.
01:01:24I didn't come here to argue, Perry.
01:01:27Let's part as friends.
01:01:30Now we're partying?
01:01:34After I say goodbye, I...
01:01:39I guess the next step is...
01:01:41For us to part.
01:01:45How do you go about it?
01:01:47Well, I wasn't planning on shaking your hand, if that's what you mean.
01:01:51Of course not.
01:01:52Or...
01:01:53Waving so long, or slapping you on the back.
01:01:56No.
01:01:57That would be in bad taste.
01:02:09You may fall in love with me now.
01:02:11Thanks.
01:02:16Mr. Kaboulian.
01:02:19Yes?
01:02:21I have figured out just how this business should be run.
01:02:24You see?
01:02:25I've made a graph, according to seasonal changes.
01:02:30Excuse please, I go back to sleep.
01:02:33And Mr. Kaboulian.
01:02:37Yes?
01:02:38I have made a very detailed study as to why business has been bad up till now.
01:02:43A study she makes.
01:02:45It's easy like pie.
01:02:47When nobody comes in and uses the machine, then business is bad.
01:02:51So far, six months, one people, three people come in, so I know business is bad.
01:02:56I know it, Mrs. Kaboulian knows it, and all my relations know it.
01:03:01Now she comes and makes it with pen and paper and tells me that business is bad.
01:03:07Big surprise.
01:03:08Excuse please, I go back to sleep.
01:03:13He's upset because I had him print up a thousand handbills to advertise the place.
01:03:18Mandy's going to give them out in various sections of Brooklyn.
01:03:21You think that'll help, huh?
01:03:22Oh, yes.
01:03:23The point is, so few people really know about the Academy.
01:03:26All we have are two regulars like Captain John over there and Robert Bruce McWhirter who comes in every day
01:03:33to ride across the track.
01:03:34Is he still at it?
01:03:36Huh?
01:03:37How did you know about him?
01:03:39I think I'll take a pony ride.
01:03:44Why, Mr. McWhirter, are you going to take another ride today?
01:03:47Indeed I am.
01:03:48I've been feeling restless all day.
01:03:51And I thought, if no one else is going to use it.
01:03:54Oh no, Mr. McWhirter, that camel is yours.
01:04:28I just brought you three more customers.
01:04:30All right, girls, come in.
01:04:35They were a little unwilling at first, but here they are.
01:04:39I'm sure you'll all have a perfectly wonderful time.
01:04:42Why shouldn't they have?
01:04:43I just taught them how to shoot craps.
01:04:45They won close to six dollars from me.
01:04:48And the dice were loaded.
01:04:55I'll give you the finest horses in the stable.
01:04:57Oh, two girls, take this horse.
01:04:58Have a many.
01:04:59Thank you, Adam.
01:05:00We didn't help her.
01:05:01Miss Cheever.
01:05:02All right.
01:05:03Come on over.
01:05:04Stir up.
01:05:05Up, you go.
01:05:06There we are.
01:05:16What did I get?
01:05:17Hold me up.
01:05:20Let's go.
01:05:31Come on.
01:05:35Come on, boy.
01:05:39Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could have business like this every day, all day long?
01:05:44Then you'd be completely happy, huh?
01:05:47Almost, Eddie.
01:05:50If only Gabulion would change the name of the place.
01:05:53Yeah, that's a good idea.
01:05:56I've got a name for you.
01:05:57The Golden Horse Academy.
01:06:01The Golden Horse Academy.
01:06:03It's perfect.
01:06:05It'd be a good name for a ranch, too.
01:06:08Let's figure it out.
01:06:15Come on!
01:06:36What can that be?
01:06:38Maybe they're using too much juice.
01:06:39It could be an overload.
01:06:45Do something!
01:06:46You hear me, Mr. Gabulion?
01:06:48You do something right now!
01:07:26Your surprise!
01:07:28Whoa!
01:07:30Where's the main switch?
01:07:32Yeah!
01:07:37Hey!
01:07:41Whoa!
01:07:43Hey!
01:07:44Whoa!
01:07:45Where's the main switch?
01:07:57The main switch, tell me where it is.
01:07:59The switch.
01:08:03The master!
01:08:06Hey!
01:08:07Parrot!
01:08:09Parrot!
01:08:10Man the lifeboats!
01:08:12You landlubbers!
01:08:14Come with the war beans!
01:08:15Headin' for Davy Jones' locker!
01:08:47What happened, please?
01:08:50What a ride!
01:08:52Too much business.
01:08:55Just too much business.
01:08:57Yes.
01:09:07You still ridin' with me?
01:09:10Leave us having no small talk, pal.
01:09:13You better get that horse goin' again.
01:09:14Mm-hmm.
01:09:16This one you get for free.
01:09:19That's the one I've been waitin' for.
01:09:23Well...
01:09:24By this time, Gabulian had enough and decided to sell the joint.
01:09:28And who do you think bought it?
01:09:30Eddie. And you know why?
01:09:31Just to keep Perry working. Just to give her a job.
01:09:35Of course, Perry didn't know that Eddie sunk his last 800 bucks in it.
01:09:39Eddie and I figured that this academy deal would clear up everything.
01:09:43But the place just didn't seem to catch on.
01:09:46Even with Perry running it and with all the faith he had in it.
01:09:50Christmas Eve came along and Eddie and Perry were only two jumps ahead of the sheriff.
01:09:58Say, what do you think could be happenin' up there at 11 p.m.?
01:10:02That's Gabulian's place, isn't it?
01:10:03Used to be.
01:10:04It's been called the Golden Horse Academy the past couple of weeks.
01:10:07Think maybe they're havin' a Christmas party up there?
01:10:16Lovebirds Joel
01:10:19We had a big party...
01:10:22Where...
01:10:23It was supposed to be big.
01:10:25But we wound up just trying to be gay.
01:10:30Robert Bruce McWhirter showed up, along with a whole gang of Santa Clauses, all members
01:10:37of the Big Brothers of St. Nicholas, South Brooklyn Branch. The old boys rode the stuffing
01:10:44out of the menagerie, but the cash register never rang once.
01:10:56Then, Officer Carmody came in. Well, Merry Christmas, Marcus. I'd like to have you meet my friends, Perry and Eddie.
01:11:03How do you do? How do you do, Marcus?
01:11:07I said I'd like to have you meet my friends, Perry and Eddie.
01:11:09Oh, how do you, how do you do when it very matters to you? I've noticed the lights up here
01:11:14ever since I've been on duty, but I did nothing about it.
01:11:16That's right. Tonight's the night for leaving people alone.
01:11:18Yeah. Then I see what looks to me like a crowd of Santa Clauses come into this building.
01:11:23I follow them in. Get the point? Oh, great work.
01:11:26When I saw his eyes pop at the place jumping with Santa Clauses, something snapped in my noggin.
01:11:32Strange, yes. But nothing that would make me report this incident to headquarters.
01:11:36You see, Christmas Eve is a night for leaving people alone.
01:11:39What do you mean there's nothing wrong?
01:11:41How would a look of a passerby saw them come in and reported it to your superior officer?
01:11:45How would you look if you said you didn't think it was important enough to call the station
01:11:48when you saw a heart of Santa Clauses come in here and take over the writing academy at this time
01:11:52of night?
01:11:52Did you go to check with the sergeant?
01:11:54Is that the sort of thing that happens to you every night?
01:11:56But this is Christmas Eve.
01:11:57Well, does that explain the situation as far as an officer of the law is concerned?
01:12:01Don't let anyone leave. I'm going to call the station.
01:12:05Come with me.
01:12:09Give me the numbers of all the newspapers.
01:12:11Manhattan is Willis, Brooklyn.
01:12:16Hello? City desk, please.
01:12:20Soda, Pop?
01:12:21Yes, dear.
01:12:22I'll have just a tea, see?
01:12:24Well, really, girls, there's a limit to how far we can go.
01:12:27Why?
01:12:28I don't know.
01:12:29Yes.
01:12:30Well, just a few.
01:12:40You sure you're not drunk, Comedy?
01:12:42All right, I'll check on it.
01:12:44I'll check on you at the same time.
01:12:47Sure there's a story in it.
01:12:49Sounds like a lot of human interest.
01:12:51I'll send him in, though.
01:12:54Try it.
01:12:56Well, if you won't help me, I'll call the police commissioner.
01:13:00I tell you, he does this every Christmas Eve, but he always gets home in time for dinner.
01:13:04Something must have happened to him.
01:13:07Here's a newspaper in the book.
01:13:08Well, give it to me.
01:13:09We want complete coverage.
01:13:11Fifty Santa Clauses?
01:13:13This time of the night?
01:13:15Have you got the address?
01:13:17Yes, Alice, I've already called the police.
01:13:20Oh, you have, too?
01:13:22But what could have happened to them?
01:13:24We just got a tip about a hundred Santa Clauses, all drunk, running wild, someplace in Brooklyn.
01:13:30Yes, lady, I got all that.
01:13:31Now, how was your husband dressed?
01:13:34Oh, like Santa Claus, huh?
01:13:37Maybe he got stuck down the wrong chimney.
01:13:41Now, look, lady, don't take it so serious.
01:13:43We'll find your husband, all right.
01:13:46No sense of humor.
01:13:48Gin.
01:14:00Now, listen to me.
01:14:02Listen to me, all of you.
01:14:04Your wives and your children, your friends and your neighbors, burning up the telephone wires,
01:14:08asking if any of you is behind bars at the police station,
01:14:11or lying all torn to pieces on a hospital bed,
01:14:14or stretched stone dead on a coal slab in the morgue.
01:14:17Well, are you?
01:14:20Santa, I got a list of names to check on.
01:14:22You lads are going home right away.
01:14:24Big smile now.
01:14:25Oh, come on, bigger than that.
01:14:27Just smile.
01:14:27There we are.
01:14:29You know, um, with this publicity and everything, you have here a pretty valuable piece of property.
01:14:36Well, Achiever sisters want to buy it.
01:14:38What do you think, Perry?
01:14:40We could always use the money to buy a ranch.
01:14:43In Texas, perhaps.
01:14:45I merely offer it as a suggestion.
01:14:53We'll raise herds of golden horses, Eddie.
01:14:56Real golden horses.
01:14:58Maybe 50 of them to begin with.
01:15:00And a lot of little golden coat.
01:15:02A hundred golden horses, Perry.
01:15:04To begin with.
01:15:05And after that, well, maybe many more.
01:15:08You know, my grandfather used to have several thousand on his ranch.
01:15:12Eddie Taylor, now don't you start pretending.
01:15:20And so, Eddie and Perry got their ranch.
01:15:23Which is what they both wanted all the time.
01:15:26Now, in Texas, babies come on golden horses.
01:15:30None of that stock business in Texas.
01:15:33No, sir.
01:15:34And that whole ranch was loaded with golden horses.
01:15:39You expect me to believe all that?
01:15:45How'd you like the drink?
01:15:47Fine.
01:15:52Didn't even feel them.
01:15:56Come on, Mike.
01:16:01So long.
