Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:15,970 --> 00:00:18,438
First you take a drum beat
2
00:00:19,540 --> 00:00:22,134
And then you add a clarinet
3
00:00:23,844 --> 00:00:27,109
You sweeten with a trombone
4
00:00:28,014 --> 00:00:31,142
Then let the other cats get set
5
00:00:33,052 --> 00:00:37,148
Season with a sprinkling
of Gabriel's horn
6
00:00:37,222 --> 00:00:38,348
And presto
7
00:00:39,224 --> 00:00:45,424
A song is born
8
00:02:23,423 --> 00:02:25,584
They're here! They're here.
They just drove up.
9
00:02:25,660 --> 00:02:26,786
Who is here?
10
00:02:26,861 --> 00:02:29,261
You know, whatchamacallit,
the lawyer for the foundation.
11
00:02:29,330 --> 00:02:30,490
And Miss Totten is with him.
12
00:02:30,565 --> 00:02:32,430
I saw them getting out of the car.
13
00:02:32,532 --> 00:02:34,329
And this place is
looking like a flicker's nest.
14
00:02:34,401 --> 00:02:36,699
We're in for our semiannual wigging,
I suppose.
15
00:02:36,770 --> 00:02:38,260
You'd better put your coat on, Frisbee.
16
00:02:38,337 --> 00:02:39,827
Yeah, and fix your tie, too.
Fix your tie.
17
00:02:39,905 --> 00:02:41,634
Come here.
Let me fix your hair a little bit.
18
00:02:41,708 --> 00:02:43,437
- It looks so untidy.
- Straighten him up. That's it.
19
00:02:43,510 --> 00:02:44,841
What is all this nonsense?
20
00:02:44,911 --> 00:02:46,606
This nonsense is Miss Totten.
21
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:48,705
And will you please smile at her?
22
00:02:48,781 --> 00:02:50,271
Gentlemen, this is very undignified.
23
00:02:50,349 --> 00:02:52,146
If you think you're being funny, I...
24
00:02:52,218 --> 00:02:54,243
Good morning, gentlemen.
25
00:02:55,856 --> 00:02:58,518
- Good morning, Miss Totten.
- Good morning, Miss Totten.
26
00:02:58,591 --> 00:03:01,082
- Won't you sit here, please?
- It's a very nice day, Miss Totten.
27
00:03:01,159 --> 00:03:02,854
Would you like to speak,
Miss Totten, or shall I?
28
00:03:02,927 --> 00:03:06,363
- No, you go ahead, Mr. Setter.
- I will be brief as possible.
29
00:03:06,432 --> 00:03:09,595
Gentlemen, to date,
$283,000 have been expended
30
00:03:09,667 --> 00:03:12,602
on the writing of this history of music.
31
00:03:12,671 --> 00:03:14,502
I hope you realize that
Miss Totten's father,
32
00:03:14,573 --> 00:03:16,598
the late Daniel S. Totten,
33
00:03:17,475 --> 00:03:20,376
left only a quarter of a million dollars
for this project.
34
00:03:20,445 --> 00:03:23,903
Every additional penny has to
come from Miss Totten's pocket.
35
00:03:23,981 --> 00:03:25,448
You've been at it for 10 years now.
36
00:03:25,516 --> 00:03:28,144
- Nine.
- All right, nine.
37
00:03:28,219 --> 00:03:30,744
I want your frank estimate
of how much longer you will take.
38
00:03:30,822 --> 00:03:32,016
- Well...
- Maybe three years.
39
00:03:32,089 --> 00:03:33,215
- Maybe four.
- Yes.
40
00:03:33,290 --> 00:03:34,689
It cannot be. It just cannot be.
41
00:03:34,758 --> 00:03:35,952
Oh, my dear Miss Totten.
42
00:03:36,025 --> 00:03:38,118
Surely, you don't want to discontinue
your father's great gesture
43
00:03:38,195 --> 00:03:39,628
towards human enlightenment, do you?
44
00:03:39,695 --> 00:03:41,754
Human enlightenment?
Nonsense, Professor.
45
00:03:41,832 --> 00:03:43,993
My father was a disappointed musician.
46
00:03:44,066 --> 00:03:46,534
He was never able to master
a single instrument.
47
00:03:46,602 --> 00:03:48,661
So he decided to manufacture pianos,
48
00:03:48,738 --> 00:03:51,707
and because his name was not included
with Steinway and Meyer
49
00:03:51,774 --> 00:03:54,106
and Chickering,
he decided to finance this project.
50
00:03:54,177 --> 00:03:55,269
Exactly.
51
00:03:55,343 --> 00:03:57,072
And you'll have to
get it done with, quickly.
52
00:03:57,146 --> 00:03:58,875
- Slap it together.
- What?
53
00:03:58,947 --> 00:04:01,780
Excuse me, Mr. Setter. May I have a word?
54
00:04:02,285 --> 00:04:04,276
Hello, Professor Frisbee.
55
00:04:05,554 --> 00:04:08,785
Hello, Miss Totten.
You said slap it together.
56
00:04:08,856 --> 00:04:11,051
- We're not the slapping together kind.
- He's right.
57
00:04:11,126 --> 00:04:13,151
And this is not
an ordinary encyclopedia of music.
58
00:04:13,228 --> 00:04:15,492
What's different about this
except that it's taking longer?
59
00:04:15,564 --> 00:04:17,964
Don't interrupt, Mr. Setter.
60
00:04:18,033 --> 00:04:20,501
In what way is this different,
Professor Frisbee?
61
00:04:20,569 --> 00:04:22,730
Well, as far as I know,
this is the first history of music,
62
00:04:22,804 --> 00:04:27,070
which, in addition to its written volumes,
will have albums of recorded music.
63
00:04:27,142 --> 00:04:29,508
Now, in my own field of folk music...
64
00:04:29,578 --> 00:04:32,843
- I'm not interested.
- Don't interrupt, Mr. Setter.
65
00:04:33,247 --> 00:04:34,908
Go on, Professor.
66
00:04:37,817 --> 00:04:42,550
I'm appealing to you, Miss Totten,
to your vision and to your heart.
67
00:04:43,022 --> 00:04:45,650
Perhaps I'm maybe a little inarticulate,
68
00:04:45,726 --> 00:04:48,923
but I've somehow
always regarded you as...
69
00:04:51,297 --> 00:04:53,390
You know what I mean, Miss Totten?
70
00:04:53,465 --> 00:04:57,401
Of course.
Well, it was my father's dying wish,
71
00:04:57,470 --> 00:04:59,631
and you do make such an eloquent plea.
72
00:04:59,705 --> 00:05:01,866
- But all of this seems so useless.
- Exactly.
73
00:05:01,940 --> 00:05:05,671
It's not only useless, dull, unromantic,
but unprofitable.
74
00:05:05,744 --> 00:05:06,870
My dear Mr. Setter,
75
00:05:06,945 --> 00:05:08,537
bringing the peoples of the world
closer together
76
00:05:08,614 --> 00:05:10,104
through the universal language of music
77
00:05:10,181 --> 00:05:13,048
can hardly be termed
useless, dull and unromantic.
78
00:05:13,118 --> 00:05:15,484
Our work is anything but that.
79
00:05:15,554 --> 00:05:18,114
- It is often very exciting.
Oh, fiddlesticks.
80
00:05:18,190 --> 00:05:20,420
- Yes, even emotional.
- Really?
81
00:05:20,891 --> 00:05:22,688
Yes, Miss Totten, we...
82
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:26,924
Only the other day we were recording
a Polynesian chant, love chant.
83
00:05:26,998 --> 00:05:29,432
- West Indian, wasn't it?
- Samoan, I believe.
84
00:05:29,500 --> 00:05:30,489
Get to the point.
85
00:05:30,635 --> 00:05:31,795
The point is, Mr. Setter,
86
00:05:31,869 --> 00:05:34,804
the chant was exciting
and it was emotional.
87
00:05:35,639 --> 00:05:38,233
It concerned itself with
the relation of music to courtship.
88
00:05:38,308 --> 00:05:39,332
Courtship?
89
00:05:39,409 --> 00:05:41,343
My dear Frisbee,
if you think that...
90
00:05:41,410 --> 00:05:43,537
Just a minute, Mr. Setter.
91
00:05:43,947 --> 00:05:45,642
I'm very interested, Professor.
92
00:05:45,715 --> 00:05:48,650
Well, perhaps we can demonstrate it
for Miss Totten.
93
00:05:48,718 --> 00:05:50,185
Yes, let's demonstrate it.
94
00:05:50,256 --> 00:05:52,486
I don't think that would be
the logical thing to do.
95
00:05:52,557 --> 00:05:55,321
- That's a very good idea.
- Please, please do.
96
00:05:55,394 --> 00:05:56,622
I'd love to hear it.
97
00:05:56,695 --> 00:05:58,720
Well, all right. Gentlemen, if you please.
98
00:05:58,797 --> 00:05:59,821
- Yes, let's do it.
- All right.
99
00:06:02,701 --> 00:06:05,795
Now, Miss Totten, imagine the setting
in an island courtship.
100
00:06:05,871 --> 00:06:06,997
There's a vacant hut.
101
00:06:07,072 --> 00:06:09,768
The nuptial hut all bedecked with flowers.
102
00:06:09,840 --> 00:06:13,332
And nearby, the maiden awaits
the arrival of her lover.
103
00:06:13,845 --> 00:06:15,176
Oh, excuse me.
104
00:06:15,246 --> 00:06:17,806
Professor Oddly, you will be the maiden.
105
00:06:17,882 --> 00:06:20,578
- But, Professor Frisbee, I...
- Oddly.
106
00:06:22,552 --> 00:06:23,644
Must I, Professor Frisbee?
107
00:06:23,721 --> 00:06:26,485
If you'll just stand over there,
Oddly, please!
108
00:06:26,556 --> 00:06:29,423
Now, Miss Totten, as the lover approaches
from the opposite side of the village,
109
00:06:29,493 --> 00:06:31,586
he is laden down with gifts.
110
00:06:31,662 --> 00:06:35,655
And the beating of the drums
signalizes the beginning of the courtship.
111
00:06:41,771 --> 00:06:46,140
As he comes nearer the village,
his relatives take up the drumming.
112
00:06:49,611 --> 00:06:53,911
Then he spies the maiden and calls to her,
and she answers.
113
00:06:54,917 --> 00:06:58,409
Professor, would you give us
the mating call please?
114
00:07:02,623 --> 00:07:04,215
That's the mating call.
115
00:07:04,293 --> 00:07:07,694
Now, imagine I'm coming around
the corner of the hut.
116
00:07:14,268 --> 00:07:16,202
He spies the maiden.
117
00:07:29,015 --> 00:07:31,415
Just... Just one moment, gentlemen.
118
00:07:31,486 --> 00:07:33,818
Oddly, that was quite adequate
for the recording,
119
00:07:33,888 --> 00:07:37,153
but I feel the air of reality
is somewhat strained here.
120
00:07:37,224 --> 00:07:39,454
But, Professor Frisbee,
I didn't want to do it anyway.
121
00:07:39,526 --> 00:07:40,618
I know that, Oddly, but I...
122
00:07:40,694 --> 00:07:42,958
Professor, perhaps I could...
123
00:07:43,028 --> 00:07:46,054
Very well, if you'll just stand here,
Miss Totten.
124
00:07:46,165 --> 00:07:49,396
- And when I give you the mating call...
- Yes?
125
00:07:49,469 --> 00:07:52,131
...you give it right back to me.
126
00:07:52,204 --> 00:07:55,901
Now, imagine I'm coming around
the corner of the same hut.
127
00:08:15,026 --> 00:08:16,015
No.
128
00:08:16,961 --> 00:08:19,987
Just... May I interrupt just one moment?
129
00:08:20,063 --> 00:08:23,089
I'm afraid, Miss Totten,
you'll have to employ a great deal more
130
00:08:23,167 --> 00:08:26,034
abandon both in voice and posture.
131
00:08:26,103 --> 00:08:29,539
I neglected to tell you about the posture.
132
00:08:29,604 --> 00:08:33,335
The native position
being somewhat more like this.
133
00:08:33,409 --> 00:08:34,899
And it has...
134
00:08:35,545 --> 00:08:37,308
Yes, that's fine, Miss Totten.
135
00:08:37,381 --> 00:08:40,680
Now imagine I'm coming around
the corner of the hut.
136
00:08:53,228 --> 00:08:56,493
That's fine, Miss Totten.
That's a considerable improvement.
137
00:08:56,565 --> 00:09:00,194
Now, more abandon, Miss Totten. Yes.
138
00:09:00,269 --> 00:09:04,330
Now, as the man hears the maiden,
the beat of the drums intensifies.
139
00:09:04,806 --> 00:09:07,240
Fever of the music
has entered into his blood.
140
00:09:07,309 --> 00:09:10,142
His nostrils are distended
and his eyes are gleamed.
141
00:09:10,211 --> 00:09:12,702
And the singing goes on like this.
142
00:09:17,351 --> 00:09:21,310
I'm sorry, Miss Totten,
I'm merely assuming
143
00:09:21,388 --> 00:09:24,824
the role of the lover
and you the role of the maiden.
144
00:09:25,425 --> 00:09:28,451
This call is the lover's greeting,
145
00:09:28,527 --> 00:09:32,588
and it is accomplished by
the diaphragmatic pressure
146
00:09:32,665 --> 00:09:37,625
so necessary to the primitive
sound in this fashion.
147
00:09:43,676 --> 00:09:46,406
Would you try that, Miss Totten, please?
148
00:09:51,318 --> 00:09:53,377
That's very good, Miss Totten.
149
00:09:53,453 --> 00:09:55,512
You seem to have
caught the spirit quite well.
150
00:09:55,588 --> 00:09:58,022
Now, would you try that once with me.
151
00:10:29,986 --> 00:10:32,113
That's fine, Miss Totten.
152
00:10:33,057 --> 00:10:34,524
Miss Totten.
153
00:10:36,159 --> 00:10:39,458
I don't like to interrupt, Miss Totten, but...
154
00:10:42,866 --> 00:10:45,562
Miss Totten, I don't like to interrupt,
155
00:10:45,635 --> 00:10:47,865
but you've caught the spirit
extremely well, Miss Totten.
156
00:10:47,938 --> 00:10:50,907
Now, from this point on,
the dance just continues
157
00:10:50,973 --> 00:10:54,306
until the lover takes the maiden
in his arms and carries her away,
158
00:10:54,377 --> 00:10:57,608
but I don't think there's any point
in demonstrating that.
159
00:10:57,681 --> 00:11:00,411
It was wonderful. Simply wonderful.
160
00:11:00,482 --> 00:11:04,043
- Miss Totten, I thought you'd decided...
- I liked it. I liked it.
161
00:11:04,119 --> 00:11:06,144
- Yes, Miss Totten?
- Professor, the work at the foundation
162
00:11:06,222 --> 00:11:07,849
must continue. I'll see to that.
163
00:11:07,923 --> 00:11:10,790
- Miss Totten, you forgot your...
- Oh, thank you.
164
00:11:10,859 --> 00:11:13,692
- ... bag.
- Goodbye, Professor.
165
00:11:13,762 --> 00:11:14,888
- Goodbye.
- And thank you.
166
00:11:14,964 --> 00:11:17,364
I enjoyed every second of it.
167
00:11:19,802 --> 00:11:22,202
Miss Totten, you know that
your previous intentions...
168
00:11:25,673 --> 00:11:27,368
A most amazing performance, Frisbee.
169
00:11:27,442 --> 00:11:28,739
We are very much
indebted to you, Frisbee.
170
00:11:28,809 --> 00:11:30,401
I don't know, gentlemen. I don't know.
171
00:11:30,477 --> 00:11:33,241
- You don't understand...
- I don't know whether our behavior
172
00:11:33,313 --> 00:11:35,577
was in keeping with the seriousness
of our work.
173
00:11:35,649 --> 00:11:37,981
- Oh, well, I...
- However, I do feel our actions
174
00:11:38,986 --> 00:11:40,544
- were justified in the...
- We beg your pardon, gentlemen.
175
00:11:40,621 --> 00:11:41,918
Yes, sir, indeed.
176
00:11:41,988 --> 00:11:44,718
- We hope you don't mind.
- We came through the window.
177
00:11:44,790 --> 00:11:46,917
Who are you?
- We're the window washers.
178
00:11:46,993 --> 00:11:49,689
- The window washers.
- ELFINl: What is it you want?
179
00:11:49,763 --> 00:11:51,628
Well, you gentlemen are long hairs,
aren't you?
180
00:11:51,697 --> 00:11:53,756
I hadn't noticed.
- Our hair is not particularly long.
181
00:11:53,833 --> 00:11:56,233
This place's got some connection
with music, ain't it?
182
00:11:56,301 --> 00:11:57,359
Well, some.
183
00:11:57,435 --> 00:12:00,768
We've been washing on the other side
for a couple of days and listening to you.
184
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:02,831
We figured maybe you could help us out.
185
00:12:02,909 --> 00:12:05,571
- In what way?
- With this quiz program on the radio.
186
00:12:05,645 --> 00:12:06,669
What is it?
187
00:12:06,746 --> 00:12:08,907
It's a musical quiz.
It has questions and answers,
188
00:12:08,981 --> 00:12:10,107
and you got to play the tune.
189
00:12:10,182 --> 00:12:11,615
Maybe we should have got a radio.
190
00:12:11,683 --> 00:12:13,480
Well, just what is your trouble?
191
00:12:13,551 --> 00:12:15,348
Well, I can play the answers,
if I knew the answers.
192
00:12:15,420 --> 00:12:17,445
But he can't play them
if he don't know them.
193
00:12:17,522 --> 00:12:20,286
- That's logical.
- Have you got the questions with you?
194
00:12:20,358 --> 00:12:22,758
- Sure, he's got them.
- Yes, here it is, right here.
195
00:12:22,827 --> 00:12:26,126
Question... First question is number one.
196
00:12:26,197 --> 00:12:29,963
And it says,
"What eminent contra... Contra... "
197
00:12:30,534 --> 00:12:33,970
"What eminent contrapuntalist literally
gave his name to a musical work?"
198
00:12:34,038 --> 00:12:36,939
- That is obvious.
- That would be my department.
199
00:12:37,007 --> 00:12:39,237
- Johann Sebastian Bach.
- Please to meet you.
200
00:12:39,309 --> 00:12:40,799
- How do you do?
- How are you, Mr. Bach?
201
00:12:40,877 --> 00:12:42,845
How do you do, Mr. Bach?
I'm not Mr. Bach.
202
00:12:42,912 --> 00:12:44,607
Mr. Bach was born
in Eisenach in Germany,
203
00:12:44,681 --> 00:12:47,809
in the year 1750 and died in 1685.
204
00:12:47,883 --> 00:12:49,214
Are you sure about that, mister?
205
00:12:49,286 --> 00:12:51,516
Yes, I'm sure he died.
They buried him on account of that.
206
00:12:51,587 --> 00:12:53,782
Well, the way you got it,
he didn't even get born.
207
00:12:53,856 --> 00:12:58,657
Well, maybe I'm wrong.
He was born in 1685 and died in 1750.
208
00:12:58,727 --> 00:13:00,422
Mr. Bach wrote beautiful music.
Beautiful music.
209
00:13:00,495 --> 00:13:03,464
- He makes good beer, too.
- That so? I didn't know that. Yeah.
210
00:13:03,533 --> 00:13:06,058
The composition referred to
is a fugue written by Mr. Bach
211
00:13:06,135 --> 00:13:11,471
with the letters of his name B flat,
A, C, and B natural.
212
00:13:11,907 --> 00:13:16,037
B- A-C-B? Bach?
213
00:13:16,411 --> 00:13:17,742
That doesn't sound right, does it?
214
00:13:17,814 --> 00:13:19,042
I'm asking you.
215
00:13:19,116 --> 00:13:21,676
The Germans, of course,
use the letter H for our B natural,
216
00:13:21,784 --> 00:13:23,581
meaning B flat when they say B.
217
00:13:23,653 --> 00:13:26,918
- Mister, I don't need all of that.
- He just needs to know the tune.
218
00:13:26,988 --> 00:13:28,512
You mean just a few bars for recognition?
219
00:13:28,590 --> 00:13:31,889
- That's it.
- I'd be very happy to play it for you.
220
00:13:42,369 --> 00:13:44,360
- There you are.
- Is that all there is to it?
221
00:13:44,438 --> 00:13:45,837
That's all there is, just the four notes.
222
00:13:45,906 --> 00:13:48,807
Well, I'm going to lay some stuff
with my left hand on the bass here.
223
00:13:48,877 --> 00:13:50,401
When I give you the nod with my head,
224
00:13:50,478 --> 00:13:51,706
you give me them four notes up there.
225
00:13:51,778 --> 00:13:53,245
Very good.
226
00:14:16,169 --> 00:14:18,364
- Most unusual.
- It's amazing.
227
00:14:18,437 --> 00:14:20,667
A very remarkable construction
in the bass pattern.
228
00:14:20,740 --> 00:14:22,833
- You think so?
- I'd like to hear more of it.
229
00:14:22,909 --> 00:14:24,877
I can't do much with this Bach guy.
230
00:14:24,944 --> 00:14:27,105
No, he's too square.
231
00:14:27,179 --> 00:14:29,477
Maybe the next cat's
got a little more beat.
232
00:14:29,548 --> 00:14:31,948
- Who's got the next question?
- He's got them over there.
233
00:14:32,016 --> 00:14:34,143
Frisbee, the second question please.
234
00:14:34,218 --> 00:14:36,311
Oh, yes, right here.
235
00:14:37,356 --> 00:14:38,914
"What bit of African terpsichore
236
00:14:38,991 --> 00:14:41,118
"came from the pen
of a Norwegian composer?"
237
00:14:41,192 --> 00:14:43,717
- That would be you, Gerkikoff.
- That is easy.
238
00:14:43,795 --> 00:14:47,287
That would be Anitra's Dance.
You know the melody, Magenbruch.
239
00:14:47,364 --> 00:14:48,456
Yes, I know it.
240
00:14:48,532 --> 00:14:53,663
Anitra's dance is from Grieg's
incidental music for Ibsen's Peer Gynt.
241
00:14:55,071 --> 00:14:57,938
Would you like to play it for us,
Magenbruch?
242
00:15:04,613 --> 00:15:06,046
Lovely melody.
243
00:15:06,782 --> 00:15:10,616
I heard that before.
Would you play it again for me, please?
244
00:15:11,587 --> 00:15:14,147
It will be interesting to note
what he accomplishes with this one.
245
00:15:14,222 --> 00:15:16,713
- Yes, that's right.
- I think I got it now.
246
00:15:16,791 --> 00:15:18,850
Play it once more for me.
247
00:16:32,497 --> 00:16:33,486
Very good. Very good.
248
00:16:33,565 --> 00:16:37,592
Well, it reminds me of
the chaconne or passacaglia.
249
00:16:37,670 --> 00:16:40,833
Except that the amazing variations
on the melody
250
00:16:40,906 --> 00:16:42,601
depend so much on their peculiar
passing tones
251
00:16:42,674 --> 00:16:44,539
- and leading notes.
- I noticed a definite resemblance.
252
00:16:44,609 --> 00:16:46,736
It is curious combination of harmonium...
253
00:16:46,810 --> 00:16:49,745
It moves constantly
on the tonic and subdominant.
254
00:16:49,812 --> 00:16:51,837
Particularly noticed
the double quadruple figuration.
255
00:16:51,917 --> 00:16:55,148
- I didn't do all of that, did I?
- That's just plain boogie-woogie.
256
00:16:55,219 --> 00:16:57,346
- Boogie-woogie. What's that?
- You never heard of that?
257
00:16:57,421 --> 00:16:58,718
Never heard of boogie-woogie?
258
00:16:58,792 --> 00:17:00,885
Well, you see, we've been
shut in here for a long time.
259
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:02,689
- Too long.
- Has this boogie-woogie
260
00:17:02,762 --> 00:17:04,127
been going on for some time?
261
00:17:04,195 --> 00:17:05,560
Man alive!
262
00:17:05,631 --> 00:17:08,429
And are there any other forms
of this new folk music besides that?
263
00:17:08,501 --> 00:17:13,803
- Sure. There's swing, jive, jump...
- Blues, two-beat Dixie, rebop and...
264
00:17:13,872 --> 00:17:14,964
What's that?
265
00:17:19,643 --> 00:17:21,634
- Rebop.
- Amazing.
266
00:17:21,980 --> 00:17:23,709
Did you hear that, Professor Frisbee?
267
00:17:23,782 --> 00:17:26,376
ELFINl: And your book on folk music
is almost finished.
268
00:17:26,450 --> 00:17:29,419
Gentlemen, I'm an idiot. An absolute idiot.
269
00:17:29,486 --> 00:17:32,683
And I'm terribly grateful to both of you
for making me aware of it.
270
00:17:32,756 --> 00:17:34,724
Do you realize that since
we've been cooped up here,
271
00:17:34,793 --> 00:17:38,024
music has changed
and changed considerably?
272
00:17:38,096 --> 00:17:40,724
I've been completely unaware
of this situation.
273
00:17:40,798 --> 00:17:42,959
However, I intend to
rectify it immediately.
274
00:17:43,033 --> 00:17:45,866
- What are you going to do?
- I don't know. I don't know.
275
00:17:45,936 --> 00:17:48,666
I think perhaps the only solution is...
276
00:17:48,738 --> 00:17:50,763
- Gentlemen, I am going out.
- Out?
277
00:17:50,841 --> 00:17:52,468
- Where?
- Out. Out into the world.
278
00:17:52,543 --> 00:17:55,637
Out of this house. Out to tap
the major sources of this new music.
279
00:17:55,712 --> 00:17:57,304
- Woogie-boogie?
- Two-beat Dixie?
280
00:17:57,380 --> 00:17:58,574
- Jump?
- Jive?
281
00:17:58,648 --> 00:17:59,740
- Swing?
- Blues?
282
00:18:01,451 --> 00:18:02,713
Rebop.
283
00:18:03,453 --> 00:18:07,719
- Exactly. And I should be leaving now.
- He's going out.
284
00:18:07,790 --> 00:18:10,725
- I should like to go, too.
- Frisbee, could I go with you?
285
00:18:10,793 --> 00:18:12,624
Why couldn't we all go?
286
00:18:12,695 --> 00:18:15,596
- Yes, Frisbee, why couldn't we?
- No, really. Please, gentlemen.
287
00:18:15,664 --> 00:18:18,656
As much as I would love to have you
come along, it was my oversight,
288
00:18:18,734 --> 00:18:20,759
and you'd be losing a full day's work.
289
00:18:20,835 --> 00:18:22,325
After all, this is my field.
290
00:18:22,404 --> 00:18:24,133
Just where would you go, Frisbee?
291
00:18:24,205 --> 00:18:26,639
I'm going out to the nightclubs,
the dance halls.
292
00:18:26,707 --> 00:18:29,141
- Yes, even the honky-tonks.
- Aren't you frightened?
293
00:18:29,210 --> 00:18:32,304
- No, I... Well, goodbye, Elfini.
- Goodbye, Frisbee.
294
00:18:32,380 --> 00:18:34,007
- Good luck.
- Goodbye, my boy.
295
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:35,377
Good luck to you.
296
00:18:35,448 --> 00:18:37,814
Oh, would you mind leaving the key
under the mat?
297
00:18:37,885 --> 00:18:40,945
I may not be home until 9:00 this evening.
298
00:18:41,022 --> 00:18:42,785
- Goodbye.
- Goodbye.
299
00:18:44,959 --> 00:18:46,517
Goodbye.
300
00:18:47,395 --> 00:18:49,488
I'm worried about the whole thing.
301
00:18:57,371 --> 00:18:58,861
Hiya, bud.
302
00:19:00,373 --> 00:19:02,603
I beg your pardon, could you tell me
what time the music starts?
303
00:19:02,674 --> 00:19:05,404
You're pretty early, fella. This joint
don't open for another couple of hours.
304
00:19:05,477 --> 00:19:08,378
Another couple of... Thank you, thank you.
305
00:20:04,934 --> 00:20:06,902
- How do you do, Mr...
- Mel Powell.
306
00:20:06,969 --> 00:20:09,028
Mel Powell. How do you do? My name is...
307
00:20:10,239 --> 00:20:11,331
- Frisbee.
- Frisbee.
308
00:20:11,407 --> 00:20:14,308
And this card is self explanatory,
Mr. Powell.
309
00:20:14,376 --> 00:20:16,970
We're conducting a round table research.
310
00:20:17,045 --> 00:20:18,945
We'd like very much for you to attend...
311
00:21:10,364 --> 00:21:16,098
Blind man stood on the way
312
00:21:16,169 --> 00:21:19,195
and cried!
313
00:21:19,872 --> 00:21:26,539
The blind man stood on the way
314
00:21:26,612 --> 00:21:29,775
and cried!
315
00:21:30,815 --> 00:21:33,045
Cried
316
00:21:33,318 --> 00:21:34,945
Well, old blind Barnabas
317
00:21:35,020 --> 00:21:36,044
Stood on the way
318
00:21:36,121 --> 00:21:38,487
Blind Barnabas stood on the way
319
00:21:38,557 --> 00:21:40,252
Well, old blind Barnabas
320
00:21:40,325 --> 00:21:41,587
Stood on the way crying
321
00:21:41,660 --> 00:21:43,821
Oh, Lordie have mercy on me
322
00:21:43,895 --> 00:21:46,625
Well, in my God's bible
in the book of James
323
00:21:46,698 --> 00:21:49,292
Christ was a-healing the cripple
and the lame
324
00:21:49,366 --> 00:21:51,834
Giving the poor and the needy a break
325
00:21:51,902 --> 00:21:53,995
Healing the sick and raising the dead
326
00:21:54,071 --> 00:21:56,562
Well, they tell me
when he passed through Galilee
327
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,370
He passed by a man that couldn't see
328
00:21:59,443 --> 00:22:01,911
The man was blind and crippled from birth
329
00:22:01,979 --> 00:22:04,243
Tell me that his name was blind Barnabas
330
00:22:04,315 --> 00:22:07,045
When Barnabas heard
that my lord was nigh
331
00:22:07,117 --> 00:22:09,244
He fell on his knees and began to cry
332
00:22:09,319 --> 00:22:12,083
Crying "Oh, thou man of Galilee
333
00:22:12,156 --> 00:22:14,021
"Great God a mighty have mercy on me... "
334
00:22:53,493 --> 00:22:54,482
- Yeah!
- Yeah!
335
00:23:31,397 --> 00:23:32,625
Yeah!
336
00:24:52,307 --> 00:24:56,937
Daddy-O, I'm gonna teach you some blues
337
00:24:59,314 --> 00:25:05,810
From now on
That's all you'll be able to use
338
00:25:06,253 --> 00:25:08,983
Do you hear me, Daddy-O?
339
00:25:09,056 --> 00:25:13,493
I'm gonna teach you some blues
340
00:25:14,128 --> 00:25:17,928
However you wanted it
I sang your song
341
00:25:17,997 --> 00:25:21,524
Whenever you wanted me
I tagged along
342
00:25:21,602 --> 00:25:24,867
But that lipstick on your shirt isn't mine
343
00:25:24,971 --> 00:25:28,998
So I'm getting off
It's the end of the line
344
00:25:29,076 --> 00:25:31,567
Do you hear me, Daddy-O
345
00:25:31,645 --> 00:25:35,638
I'm gonna teach you some blues
346
00:25:37,250 --> 00:25:40,515
He told you that a woman was his religion
347
00:25:40,585 --> 00:25:44,715
But I didn't hear him mention
that he meant them all
348
00:25:44,791 --> 00:25:48,124
So now while you're concerned
You're just a dead pigeon
349
00:25:48,194 --> 00:25:52,324
Well, I've got to be the only filly
in the stall
350
00:25:52,397 --> 00:25:55,628
You've got a lot of fish a-waiting
round to nibble
351
00:25:55,700 --> 00:25:59,659
And your baby's got a line
that they can't overload
352
00:25:59,738 --> 00:26:03,265
So, Baby-O, you're hardly
in the mood to quiver
353
00:26:03,340 --> 00:26:06,741
You'll make me very happy
if you hit the road
354
00:26:06,811 --> 00:26:10,474
You gave me the runaround
and that was wrong
355
00:26:10,548 --> 00:26:14,177
You wanted to run around
so run along
356
00:26:14,251 --> 00:26:17,482
If we never meet again, it's too soon
357
00:26:17,554 --> 00:26:21,251
And I'll make a bet
you'll be changing your tune
358
00:26:21,324 --> 00:26:23,986
Do you hear me, Daddy-O?
359
00:26:24,060 --> 00:26:28,087
I'm gonna teach you some blues
360
00:26:40,609 --> 00:26:44,443
However you wanted it
I sang your song
361
00:26:44,513 --> 00:26:47,744
Whenever you wanted me
I tagged along
362
00:26:47,816 --> 00:26:51,252
But that lipstick on your shirt isn't mine
363
00:26:51,319 --> 00:26:54,982
So I'm getting off
It's the end of the line
364
00:26:55,056 --> 00:26:57,718
Do you hear me, Daddy-O?
365
00:26:57,792 --> 00:27:00,989
I'm gonna teach you some blues!
366
00:27:03,064 --> 00:27:05,055
I'll teach you
367
00:27:06,700 --> 00:27:08,497
I'll teach you
368
00:27:10,470 --> 00:27:13,234
I'll teach you
369
00:27:13,306 --> 00:27:16,002
I'm gonna teach you some blues
370
00:27:28,120 --> 00:27:29,451
- Come on, quick.
- Quick is right.
371
00:27:29,523 --> 00:27:30,581
What's the fever?
372
00:27:30,657 --> 00:27:31,783
Listen, you got to take it on the lam.
373
00:27:31,858 --> 00:27:33,826
- Yeah, they're looking for you.
- Wait a minute.
374
00:27:33,894 --> 00:27:35,156
Who's looking for me?
375
00:27:35,228 --> 00:27:36,923
- The district attorney.
- Why?
376
00:27:36,997 --> 00:27:38,021
You've got to get dressed
and get out of here
377
00:27:38,098 --> 00:27:39,429
before they slap a subpoena on you.
378
00:27:39,498 --> 00:27:40,760
A subpoena?
379
00:27:40,833 --> 00:27:42,095
Come on, we'll talk about it
in the dressing room.
380
00:27:42,167 --> 00:27:44,226
Why can't you tell me here?
381
00:27:44,304 --> 00:27:46,101
Now what it all this subpoena business?
382
00:27:46,172 --> 00:27:47,730
It's on account of Tony.
383
00:27:47,806 --> 00:27:48,932
- What happened to him?
- Nothing.
384
00:27:49,008 --> 00:27:52,000
- But something happened to Ernie Hart.
- Ernie Hart?
385
00:27:52,076 --> 00:27:54,340
I told Tony not to monkey with him.
386
00:27:54,412 --> 00:27:56,346
Well, he won't anymore.
The funeral's tomorrow.
387
00:27:56,414 --> 00:27:58,109
But Tony didn't have nothing to do with it.
Did he, Monte?
388
00:27:58,182 --> 00:28:00,616
Oh, no. Tony's as innocent
as the new mown hay.
389
00:28:00,685 --> 00:28:02,243
Who said Tony had anything to do with it?
390
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:03,810
But he was framed, Honey, honest he was.
391
00:28:03,888 --> 00:28:04,980
The DA's trying to pin it on him,
392
00:28:05,056 --> 00:28:07,354
just because they found
that ring near the body.
393
00:28:07,427 --> 00:28:09,793
- What ring?
- That ring you gave Tony for his birthday.
394
00:28:09,863 --> 00:28:11,524
Yeah. It was a little too
big for him, remember?
395
00:28:11,598 --> 00:28:13,623
Well, it slipped off
and Tony lost it someplace.
396
00:28:13,699 --> 00:28:15,826
That's why you gotta beat it.
And stay undercover.
397
00:28:15,903 --> 00:28:18,303
What for? What's it got to do with me?
398
00:28:18,371 --> 00:28:20,271
Well, right now they can't prove
that ring was Tony's.
399
00:28:20,340 --> 00:28:22,399
But when the DA finds out you bought it,
400
00:28:22,474 --> 00:28:24,066
and everybody knows about you and Tony.
401
00:28:24,143 --> 00:28:25,405
Well, it'll look awful bad for him.
402
00:28:25,477 --> 00:28:28,002
You're what they call a maternal witness.
403
00:28:28,079 --> 00:28:31,480
Tony mixed up in a murder.
I don't believe it.
404
00:28:31,550 --> 00:28:34,018
We've got to get you out of here
before they slap a subpoena on you.
405
00:28:36,854 --> 00:28:38,185
Who is it?
406
00:28:38,257 --> 00:28:42,785
I'd like to have a few words with you in
regard to an investigation I'm conducting.
407
00:28:42,860 --> 00:28:45,852
- Just a minute.
- Let him in. We'll handle him.
408
00:28:51,069 --> 00:28:52,696
- Yeah?
- How do you do, Miss Swanson?
409
00:28:52,770 --> 00:28:53,794
Hello.
410
00:28:53,871 --> 00:28:57,307
I hate to intrude like this,
but this inquiry is really very important.
411
00:28:57,375 --> 00:28:59,309
Get this, I don't know from nothing.
412
00:28:59,377 --> 00:29:00,469
But I'm sure you do.
413
00:29:00,546 --> 00:29:02,343
You could probably help me
more than anyone.
414
00:29:02,413 --> 00:29:03,880
All I would like is a little of your time.
415
00:29:03,948 --> 00:29:05,108
Say an hour or so a day.
416
00:29:05,182 --> 00:29:08,310
- Say, are you a cop or aren't you?
- A cop?
417
00:29:08,385 --> 00:29:09,784
No, I'm not a cop.
418
00:29:09,853 --> 00:29:12,788
- Well, then what are you selling?
- Selling?
419
00:29:13,557 --> 00:29:16,890
- Nothing. I'm from the Totten Foundation.
- I don't wear any.
420
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:20,521
Oh, no, no, I'm Professor Frisbee
of the Totten Musical Foundation.
421
00:29:20,597 --> 00:29:23,862
Well, then what is this
investigation, Professor?
422
00:29:23,933 --> 00:29:27,699
Well, it concerns itself with modern jazz
and other forms of popular music.
423
00:29:28,803 --> 00:29:31,499
I'd like you to help me. Would you mind?
424
00:29:31,574 --> 00:29:33,508
Yes, I would. Goodbye.
425
00:29:33,576 --> 00:29:35,806
In case you change your mind,
here's my card.
426
00:29:35,878 --> 00:29:37,675
- Okay. Yeah.
- It's the address of the foundation.
427
00:29:37,747 --> 00:29:39,009
- Good night.
- And also my address.
428
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:40,445
Goodbye.
429
00:29:46,554 --> 00:29:49,148
- Honey Swanson.
- What do you want?
430
00:29:51,092 --> 00:29:52,354
- Just put the coat on.
- All right.
431
00:29:52,427 --> 00:29:54,452
We'll get out the window.
432
00:29:54,529 --> 00:29:56,292
Right in there.
433
00:30:01,169 --> 00:30:03,797
Open up. District attorney's office.
434
00:30:18,551 --> 00:30:21,179
Where to?
- Just keep cruising, Jack.
435
00:30:21,789 --> 00:30:23,416
- Where are we going?
- Well...
436
00:30:23,489 --> 00:30:25,013
How about that warehouse on West 11th?
437
00:30:25,091 --> 00:30:26,183
No, too many rats.
438
00:30:26,259 --> 00:30:28,124
Hey, wait a minute,
where are you taking me?
439
00:30:28,193 --> 00:30:30,184
We can't take you to your place.
They'll have it covered.
440
00:30:30,262 --> 00:30:34,096
- But you live some place, don't you?
- Yeah, sure, and the cops know where.
441
00:30:34,166 --> 00:30:37,158
I thought of a hotel,
but they'll fan every hotel in town.
442
00:30:37,235 --> 00:30:38,429
I could change my name.
443
00:30:38,502 --> 00:30:41,699
Listen, Honey, why take chances?
It's an awful nice warehouse.
444
00:30:41,773 --> 00:30:44,264
He says rats.
Well, maybe a few little bitty mice, but...
445
00:30:44,341 --> 00:30:47,742
- Uh-uh. That's out.
- Say, I got an uncle
446
00:30:47,812 --> 00:30:49,973
who's an undertaker,
and with business the way it is,
447
00:30:50,047 --> 00:30:51,912
he's always bound to have an extra slab.
448
00:30:51,982 --> 00:30:55,748
- That's fine, that's all I need.
- Oh, no. Keep thinking.
449
00:30:59,256 --> 00:31:00,883
Hey, what's this?
450
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:03,959
Totten Foundation.
451
00:31:04,029 --> 00:31:08,090
Hobart Frisbee. That's, that professor jerk.
He must have...
452
00:31:14,003 --> 00:31:16,028
ELFINl: I never would have believed it.
It seems impossible.
453
00:31:16,106 --> 00:31:17,198
Have I missed anything?
454
00:31:17,274 --> 00:31:19,970
No, Oddly, I was just explaining,
and I repeat, gentlemen,
455
00:31:20,043 --> 00:31:22,910
I actually heard Rimsky-Korsakov
played on a washboard...
456
00:31:23,012 --> 00:31:24,138
- A washboard?
- ... a bicycle pump...
457
00:31:24,214 --> 00:31:26,045
- Bicycle pump?
- ... a plunger of some sort
458
00:31:26,115 --> 00:31:27,139
and pots and pans.
459
00:31:27,216 --> 00:31:28,513
- Heaven knows what else.
- You cannot make music
460
00:31:28,584 --> 00:31:29,744
out of pots and pans.
461
00:31:29,818 --> 00:31:31,308
Are you sure you had nothing to drink
but buttermilk?
462
00:31:31,386 --> 00:31:33,251
- Quite sure.
- What else was there?
463
00:31:33,323 --> 00:31:34,881
Please tell us.
464
00:31:35,091 --> 00:31:37,889
I heard remarkable music,
strange rhythms.
465
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:39,427
- I talked to people.
- What kind of people?
466
00:31:39,495 --> 00:31:42,828
- All sorts of people. Musicians, singers.
- Chorus girls?
467
00:31:42,897 --> 00:31:44,455
- All sorts of people.
- Prima donnas?
468
00:31:44,532 --> 00:31:47,023
- And did you go backstage?
- Yes, yes, I had...
469
00:31:47,101 --> 00:31:49,592
I had one conversation
with a young girl in her dressing room.
470
00:31:49,670 --> 00:31:51,331
- Dressing room!
- But unfortunately
471
00:31:51,406 --> 00:31:53,135
she wasn't interested in our project.
472
00:31:53,208 --> 00:31:54,869
A blond or brunette?
473
00:31:54,943 --> 00:31:56,604
I don't remember, Oddly, I didn't notice.
474
00:31:56,677 --> 00:31:59,942
I once went backstage to see Pavlova.
475
00:32:00,014 --> 00:32:02,881
Imagine ballerinas and all that.
476
00:32:02,952 --> 00:32:05,477
- In tights, I suppose.
- Naturally in tights.
477
00:32:05,554 --> 00:32:09,957
- And that ineffable smell of rice powder.
- On bare shoulders.
478
00:32:11,392 --> 00:32:13,952
It's getting late, gentlemen,
perhaps we should go to bed.
479
00:32:14,027 --> 00:32:16,860
I'd like to have heard a lot more.
Me, too.
480
00:32:16,930 --> 00:32:18,329
- Frisbee.
- Yes?
481
00:32:18,399 --> 00:32:19,798
Frisbee, in your travels this evening,
482
00:32:19,867 --> 00:32:22,267
did you encounter any music
where the melodic figure
483
00:32:22,336 --> 00:32:25,601
in straight eights is changed to one
of Umpateedle character?
484
00:32:25,672 --> 00:32:27,765
- What's that?
- Umpateedle.
485
00:32:27,841 --> 00:32:29,172
What are you reading here, Magenbruch?
486
00:32:29,242 --> 00:32:31,472
That's one of the books
I procured this afternoon.
487
00:32:31,545 --> 00:32:34,446
Jazz.: Hot and Hybrid.
That's very interesting.
488
00:32:34,514 --> 00:32:37,312
I should like to read it
after you're through with it.
489
00:32:37,384 --> 00:32:39,682
Yeah. I particularly like the chapter
on hot rhythm.
490
00:32:39,753 --> 00:32:41,414
Holds strange fascination for me.
491
00:32:41,488 --> 00:32:43,718
I can understand that,
but I wouldn't allow myself
492
00:32:43,788 --> 00:32:45,483
to neglect the Palestrina research.
493
00:32:45,557 --> 00:32:46,546
Hold on.
494
00:32:48,059 --> 00:32:51,688
- Why, that's our doorbell.
- At 3:00 in the morning?
495
00:32:51,764 --> 00:32:55,131
That will be the revisions
on Stravinsky's new ballet.
496
00:32:55,201 --> 00:32:57,431
I asked them to be sent by air mail special.
497
00:32:57,502 --> 00:32:58,969
I'll get it.
498
00:33:07,277 --> 00:33:09,939
- Hiya, Professor.
- Oh, hi!
499
00:33:10,015 --> 00:33:11,812
Am I late for school?
500
00:33:13,016 --> 00:33:14,608
Oh, my goodness!
501
00:33:15,687 --> 00:33:17,917
Well, are those kids in my class?
502
00:33:17,988 --> 00:33:20,650
Oh, no, those are just my colleagues.
503
00:33:23,594 --> 00:33:25,789
I must apologize for their lack of attire.
504
00:33:25,863 --> 00:33:27,125
That's all right, Professor.
505
00:33:27,197 --> 00:33:29,358
And for the fact
that I don't have any coat on.
506
00:33:29,433 --> 00:33:31,560
You know, once I watched
my big brother shave.
507
00:33:31,634 --> 00:33:33,363
You did?
508
00:33:33,436 --> 00:33:35,700
Frankly, your coming here
was the last thing I expected.
509
00:33:35,772 --> 00:33:37,262
Your "no" was so definite.
510
00:33:37,341 --> 00:33:39,366
Well, I got thinking it over.
511
00:33:39,442 --> 00:33:40,875
Music has done a lot for me.
512
00:33:40,943 --> 00:33:43,969
And well, here was a chance
to do something for music.
513
00:33:44,146 --> 00:33:45,579
Well, then I take it you've reconsidered?
514
00:33:45,647 --> 00:33:47,114
Yep. You've talked me into it, Professor.
515
00:33:47,182 --> 00:33:48,809
Oh, my goodness!
516
00:33:49,719 --> 00:33:53,155
- What was that?
- That was Professor Oddly.
517
00:33:53,221 --> 00:33:55,917
- Any more of them around?
- I hope not.
518
00:33:56,291 --> 00:33:59,658
Boy, this place sure is loaded
with antiques,
519
00:33:59,728 --> 00:34:01,195
present company excepted.
520
00:34:01,262 --> 00:34:03,560
Thank you. Thank you.
521
00:34:03,631 --> 00:34:06,429
- May I have your coat?
- Yeah. Thanks.
522
00:34:13,340 --> 00:34:14,739
Mozart.
523
00:34:15,109 --> 00:34:18,476
Say, I've got a copy like this
with a radio inside.
524
00:34:18,879 --> 00:34:22,144
Are you sure you don't want your coat?
525
00:34:22,217 --> 00:34:23,912
No, I'm fine.
526
00:34:23,984 --> 00:34:26,646
Except I've got a run in this stocking.
527
00:34:26,720 --> 00:34:30,451
Well, when do we start, Professor?
What's your method?
528
00:34:30,523 --> 00:34:34,220
It's quite simple, really. If you'll be here
no later than 9:30 tomorrow morning.
529
00:34:34,293 --> 00:34:36,090
- Tomorrow morning?
- Yes.
530
00:34:36,162 --> 00:34:37,629
Yes, we've arranged
a round table discussion
531
00:34:37,697 --> 00:34:40,029
with a group of people
of various musical backgrounds.
532
00:34:40,099 --> 00:34:43,000
You don't think we could
sort of begin right now?
533
00:34:43,069 --> 00:34:45,833
Begin... Well, Miss Honey, it's past 3:00.
534
00:34:45,904 --> 00:34:48,896
Oh, foo, Professor,
let's get ourselves a couple of drinks.
535
00:34:48,974 --> 00:34:53,035
You light the fire maybe, and you could
start working on me right away.
536
00:34:53,112 --> 00:34:55,307
I wouldn't dream of imposing at this hour.
537
00:34:55,380 --> 00:34:58,076
Listen, I figured on working all night.
538
00:34:58,784 --> 00:35:02,515
Oh, you did...
Well, any random discussion would...
539
00:35:02,586 --> 00:35:03,712
Yes?
540
00:35:04,020 --> 00:35:05,954
...prove of no scientific value whatsoever.
541
00:35:06,024 --> 00:35:08,754
You see, I must have my notes
thoroughly prepared
542
00:35:08,826 --> 00:35:10,259
for tomorrow morning's seminar.
543
00:35:10,327 --> 00:35:12,522
Okay, where do I sleep?
544
00:35:12,595 --> 00:35:15,086
- I beg your pardon.
- Where do I sleep?
545
00:35:15,565 --> 00:35:17,260
I don't know. Where do you usually sleep?
546
00:35:17,334 --> 00:35:20,667
I'm usually in Brooklyn,
but tonight I'm going to sleep here.
547
00:35:20,737 --> 00:35:23,672
- Right. Here?
Why not?
548
00:35:23,741 --> 00:35:26,904
Well, I mean, we're all bachelors here,
Miss Honey,
549
00:35:26,977 --> 00:35:28,137
except maybe Professor Oddly...
550
00:35:28,211 --> 00:35:30,406
- Professor.
- He was a widower.
551
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:34,814
But there's a... Sleep here?
Oh, no. See, no woman has ever...
552
00:35:34,885 --> 00:35:37,547
Even Miss Bragg, our housekeeper,
goes home every night at 7:30.
553
00:35:37,621 --> 00:35:40,852
Listen, if you want me here tomorrow
morning at 9:30...
554
00:35:40,925 --> 00:35:42,756
Yes, I do, Miss Honey. I definitely do.
555
00:35:42,827 --> 00:35:45,421
But even the most free thinking people
would have to respect...
556
00:35:45,495 --> 00:35:47,258
Now wait a minute.
557
00:35:48,097 --> 00:35:49,564
Feel that.
558
00:35:52,135 --> 00:35:54,000
Go on, feel that foot.
559
00:35:57,607 --> 00:36:01,043
- Now, what have you got to say?
- It's cold.
560
00:36:01,477 --> 00:36:03,377
It's cold and it's wet.
561
00:36:03,779 --> 00:36:05,303
Now, come here.
562
00:36:06,515 --> 00:36:08,107
Come here.
563
00:36:09,218 --> 00:36:10,446
Closer.
564
00:36:11,387 --> 00:36:13,321
- Hiya, kids.
- How do you do?
565
00:36:13,388 --> 00:36:15,379
Now, look down my throat.
566
00:36:16,090 --> 00:36:19,025
Oh, come on. Now, what do you see, huh?
567
00:36:19,559 --> 00:36:20,787
I don't know what to look for.
568
00:36:20,862 --> 00:36:23,228
Well, there is a slight rosiness
in the laryngeal region.
569
00:36:23,297 --> 00:36:25,891
There. You see? He knows. Who are you?
570
00:36:25,966 --> 00:36:27,160
- Who is he?
- This is Professor Twingle.
571
00:36:27,234 --> 00:36:28,963
And Professor Gerkikoff, Dr. Elfini...
572
00:36:29,037 --> 00:36:32,097
Wait a minute, not so fast.
I'll get to know them.
573
00:36:32,172 --> 00:36:34,106
Come here, Twinkie.
I think I got a fever. Feel.
574
00:36:34,175 --> 00:36:36,666
- Oh, yes. She definitely has. Oh, yes.
- Certainly.
575
00:36:36,744 --> 00:36:37,938
And he wants to put me out.
576
00:36:38,012 --> 00:36:40,378
- Oh, no.
- Frisbee, that is unkind.
577
00:36:40,448 --> 00:36:42,609
You know it's been raining
and the streets are still wet.
578
00:36:42,682 --> 00:36:45,116
- Of course.
- No 9:30 for me if he puts me out in that.
579
00:36:45,185 --> 00:36:46,652
- Naturally not.
- But you don't understand...
580
00:36:46,720 --> 00:36:49,188
And the street's cold
and the subway's hot and full of germs.
581
00:36:49,256 --> 00:36:51,724
And I'm a pushover for streptococcus.
582
00:36:51,792 --> 00:36:53,692
- Could I have this, kid?
- Excuse me.
583
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:56,422
Really, I don't understand you, Frisbee.
Why take chances?
584
00:36:56,496 --> 00:36:59,260
- Yeah. With such valuable material.
- Think of your work, Professor Frisbee.
585
00:36:59,331 --> 00:37:01,231
I am thinking of my work.
586
00:37:01,300 --> 00:37:02,927
- You see, they get the point.
- I get the point, too.
587
00:37:03,002 --> 00:37:04,264
What I'm trying desperately to explain...
588
00:37:04,335 --> 00:37:06,530
- Gentlemen, may I make a suggestion?
- Yes?
589
00:37:06,605 --> 00:37:08,334
Why not let the young lady
sleep in my room?
590
00:37:08,407 --> 00:37:09,965
- What?
- Well!
591
00:37:10,041 --> 00:37:13,408
I often bunk with Dr. Elfini
during an electrical storm.
592
00:37:13,478 --> 00:37:15,878
- He's afraid of thunder.
Yes.
593
00:37:15,947 --> 00:37:18,711
Well, then it's all settled.
I guess I'll turn in.
594
00:37:20,085 --> 00:37:22,315
- Could I have my coat?
- Yes, yes.
595
00:37:22,387 --> 00:37:24,821
Couldn't you possibly reconsider?
596
00:37:26,458 --> 00:37:28,585
- This way, please.
- I'll show you to my room.
597
00:37:28,659 --> 00:37:29,751
Yes, we all will.
598
00:37:29,827 --> 00:37:32,125
Oh, no. I know where my own room is,
without any help from anyone.
599
00:37:32,196 --> 00:37:33,823
Well now,
why couldn't we all go?
600
00:37:33,897 --> 00:37:38,857
Gentlemen. Please, don't bother. I'll find it.
Just rough out the directions.
601
00:37:38,937 --> 00:37:41,497
Top of the stairs.
The first door to the right.
602
00:37:41,572 --> 00:37:44,040
- Could I have my coat?
- Oh, please.
603
00:37:44,108 --> 00:37:46,736
Thank you. Hi Di Ho.
604
00:37:46,810 --> 00:37:47,970
Hi Di Ho.
605
00:37:48,045 --> 00:37:51,378
Just one moment, please.
Gentlemen, this is all highly irregular.
606
00:37:51,447 --> 00:37:53,278
Suppose this came to the attention
of the foundation,
607
00:37:53,350 --> 00:37:54,544
and what about Miss Bragg
in the morning?
608
00:37:54,617 --> 00:37:57,017
What are you talking about?
This is research, isn't it?
609
00:37:57,086 --> 00:37:58,713
- Is it?
- Sure and I'm the guinea pig.
610
00:37:58,788 --> 00:38:02,417
- Yes, a specimen under the microscope.
- Wonderful thing to research.
611
00:38:02,492 --> 00:38:03,823
It is the searchlight of truth.
612
00:38:03,892 --> 00:38:06,087
Without research, people
would still think the earth was flat.
613
00:38:06,161 --> 00:38:07,890
- That's ridiculous.
- And they would still look upon
614
00:38:07,964 --> 00:38:10,296
the tomato as a poisonous fruit.
615
00:38:10,366 --> 00:38:12,027
There, you see.
616
00:38:12,100 --> 00:38:15,968
And I want you to look at me,
Professor Frisbee, as another tomato.
617
00:38:16,037 --> 00:38:18,767
- What?
Just another tomato.
618
00:38:33,553 --> 00:38:35,384
That'll be sufficient
for the balance, gentlemen.
619
00:38:35,455 --> 00:38:37,446
- Shall we record it now?
Sure, by all means.
620
00:38:37,523 --> 00:38:40,549
Yes, even Beethoven
seems nice and gay this morning.
621
00:38:40,627 --> 00:38:42,424
You're quite right.
- Gentlemen, before you start,
622
00:38:42,496 --> 00:38:44,896
I should like to talk to you.
623
00:38:45,332 --> 00:38:48,790
May I ask what all your trousers
are doing in my kitchen?
624
00:38:48,869 --> 00:38:51,235
Well, I wanted mine pressed.
625
00:38:51,303 --> 00:38:53,669
- That accounts for one pair.
- So did I.
626
00:38:53,740 --> 00:38:54,866
And I.
627
00:38:54,941 --> 00:38:59,275
All six pairs at once.
What's going on in this house, anyway?
628
00:38:59,746 --> 00:39:01,179
No constitutional this morning.
629
00:39:01,247 --> 00:39:03,511
You scarcely touched your breakfast.
630
00:39:03,582 --> 00:39:06,483
And, Professor Frisbee,
this suitcase just came for you.
631
00:39:06,552 --> 00:39:08,611
- For me?
- The man who left it,
632
00:39:08,687 --> 00:39:11,383
a strange looking character,
said you'd understand.
633
00:39:11,456 --> 00:39:13,788
- He left a message...
- Understand. I don't understand at all.
634
00:39:13,859 --> 00:39:16,953
Well, why don't you open it up, Frisbee?
635
00:39:17,865 --> 00:39:19,890
You say he left a message?
636
00:39:21,168 --> 00:39:22,430
Well!
637
00:39:22,503 --> 00:39:24,334
What were you saying about
the message, Miss Bragg?
638
00:39:24,405 --> 00:39:27,067
- I am waiting for you to explain.
- Explain what?
639
00:39:27,141 --> 00:39:29,200
- That.
- That's...
640
00:39:29,676 --> 00:39:32,509
- He has taken on an assistant.
- Very charming.
641
00:39:32,579 --> 00:39:34,479
- Hi, kids.
Good morning.
642
00:39:34,547 --> 00:39:37,277
Say, where can I get a cup of coffee?
Hi. Who are you?
643
00:39:37,350 --> 00:39:39,875
Miss Honey, may I present Miss Bragg,
our housekeeper.
644
00:39:39,953 --> 00:39:41,818
Hi. This must be your apron I'm wearing.
645
00:39:41,888 --> 00:39:43,822
This suitcase came for you
with a message.
646
00:39:43,889 --> 00:39:45,413
- Yeah? What message?
- I don't know.
647
00:39:45,491 --> 00:39:48,619
The message was it's getting
hotter and hotter and stay in the icebox
648
00:39:48,694 --> 00:39:50,025
like a good little salad.
649
00:39:50,096 --> 00:39:51,654
- Salad?
- What could that mean?
650
00:39:51,731 --> 00:39:53,790
What time is your clambake, Professor?
651
00:39:53,866 --> 00:39:55,663
My clambake is at...
652
00:39:55,735 --> 00:39:59,136
We start at 9:30 in the morning,
and please try not to be late.
653
00:39:59,205 --> 00:40:00,968
Give me a little help with the suitcase,
and I won't be.
654
00:40:01,039 --> 00:40:03,166
- Glad to.
- See you later, kids.
655
00:40:03,242 --> 00:40:04,266
Well!
656
00:40:06,210 --> 00:40:07,905
Excuse me.
657
00:40:09,748 --> 00:40:12,945
Please continue without me
for a while, gentlemen.
658
00:40:18,856 --> 00:40:21,916
Now, to get back to
the subject under discussion.
659
00:40:21,993 --> 00:40:27,021
If we can classify the various forms of jazz
along with a series of cross references
660
00:40:27,098 --> 00:40:29,828
and make a record of the history
of this type of music,
661
00:40:29,899 --> 00:40:33,027
I believe the work will be
invaluable to the foundation.
662
00:40:33,103 --> 00:40:35,537
- Now, don't you agree, gentlemen?
Yes, sure.
663
00:40:35,605 --> 00:40:37,129
That's good.
And now that we're all agreed,
664
00:40:37,206 --> 00:40:42,075
in the vernacular I heard last night,
let's start on the down beat and take off.
665
00:40:42,412 --> 00:40:43,606
He's got it already.
666
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:47,138
- Is that the correct way of phrasing it?
- That's a good deal.
667
00:40:47,216 --> 00:40:50,310
Yes. Well, I believe in order to start...
668
00:40:52,553 --> 00:40:55,386
Gentlemen, we have accomplished a lot
in the last three days,
669
00:40:55,457 --> 00:40:57,584
and we have many valuable records.
670
00:40:57,661 --> 00:40:59,754
Now, before we start
on the history of jazz,
671
00:40:59,829 --> 00:41:02,923
someone mentioned yesterday
a small combo doing jump
672
00:41:02,998 --> 00:41:04,363
with a head arrangement.
673
00:41:04,433 --> 00:41:05,764
I believe it was mister...
674
00:41:05,833 --> 00:41:08,529
- Tommy Dorsey.
- Jimmy's brother.
675
00:41:08,603 --> 00:41:11,071
Yes. I'm sorry. You spoke of...
676
00:41:11,140 --> 00:41:13,108
It wasn't me, Professor.
That's not my type.
677
00:41:13,174 --> 00:41:14,766
It could have been Mel Powell or Hamp.
678
00:41:14,843 --> 00:41:16,811
Yeah, they're experts at that jive.
679
00:41:16,878 --> 00:41:18,641
Well, then perhaps
you gentlemen could help me.
680
00:41:18,713 --> 00:41:20,908
Sure. Mel and I used to play
a lot of that stuff with Benny Goodman.
681
00:41:20,982 --> 00:41:22,006
Is that so?
682
00:41:22,082 --> 00:41:24,573
Well, could you play an example
of the type of music?
683
00:41:24,652 --> 00:41:27,644
We'd be glad to.
But Joe, our clarinetist, couldn't come.
684
00:41:27,722 --> 00:41:29,849
- That's too bad.
- Can anyone here blow a clarinet?
685
00:41:29,923 --> 00:41:32,323
That's quite simple. Our Professor
Magenbruch plays the clarinet.
686
00:41:32,392 --> 00:41:35,725
- Well, does he, Professor? I hardly think...
- He's apt to be a little too square.
687
00:41:35,796 --> 00:41:37,354
He's quite proficient. I assure you.
688
00:41:37,430 --> 00:41:40,524
If you'll just get ready,
I'll go and fetch him.
689
00:41:42,235 --> 00:41:44,897
Gentlemen. Gentlemen.
I don't wish to interrupt,
690
00:41:44,970 --> 00:41:47,837
but we seem to need a clarinet
to illustrate a new form of music.
691
00:41:47,907 --> 00:41:50,205
- Why, certainly, here you go.
- Thank you very much.
692
00:41:50,276 --> 00:41:52,642
No, Magenbruch, we need you with it.
693
00:41:52,711 --> 00:41:53,735
You mean to play jazz?
694
00:41:53,812 --> 00:41:56,872
Yes, it's very likely you might
be able to play your Umpateedle.
695
00:41:56,949 --> 00:41:58,610
Then, I better take my book
along with me.
696
00:41:58,683 --> 00:42:00,173
- Yes.
- Good, then we'll all go along.
697
00:42:00,251 --> 00:42:01,718
- Yeah, sure.
- I think not, gentlemen.
698
00:42:01,785 --> 00:42:03,844
Perhaps you'd better continue
with your work.
699
00:42:03,923 --> 00:42:05,390
I wish we could go, too.
700
00:42:08,159 --> 00:42:10,218
This is our Professor Magenbruch,
gentlemen.
701
00:42:10,296 --> 00:42:11,695
- Hello.
- Hello.
702
00:42:11,763 --> 00:42:14,391
- I see you have everything ready.
- Is this the music here?
703
00:42:14,466 --> 00:42:15,990
Oh, no. We don't use any music.
704
00:42:16,067 --> 00:42:18,194
We haven't got anything written down,
Professor.
705
00:42:18,269 --> 00:42:20,294
Well, we can't play without music.
706
00:42:20,371 --> 00:42:22,635
- Well, Benny Goodman used to.
- Benny Goodman? I never...
707
00:42:22,706 --> 00:42:24,901
- Frisbee, did you ever hear of him?
- No, no, I haven't.
708
00:42:24,975 --> 00:42:27,409
Perhaps there is something in this book
that might help you, Magenbruch.
709
00:42:27,479 --> 00:42:29,071
- Yes. Yes.
- Just sit down, Professor,
710
00:42:29,146 --> 00:42:30,909
and if you feel like it, you can join in.
711
00:42:30,980 --> 00:42:33,813
- Thank you.
- Mel, let's steal some apples.
712
00:42:51,066 --> 00:42:54,797
That's fine, Professor.
Now anything we do, just follow us.
713
00:45:04,827 --> 00:45:09,093
Young lady, young lady, come here.
Come with me, please.
714
00:45:17,672 --> 00:45:21,472
Young lady, there are a couple
of gentlemen, I use the word loosely,
715
00:45:21,542 --> 00:45:22,531
who would like to see you.
716
00:45:22,610 --> 00:45:24,976
They're in the garden
right through that door.
717
00:45:25,046 --> 00:45:26,035
Thanks, cookie.
718
00:45:31,519 --> 00:45:32,986
Well, it's about time.
719
00:45:33,054 --> 00:45:35,818
I thought you two had amnesia
and forgot where you parked me.
720
00:45:35,889 --> 00:45:38,585
- We had trouble getting here.
- The DA has got 100 men looking for you.
721
00:45:38,660 --> 00:45:41,527
- You're hotter than a firecracker.
- Squeezing this town through a sieve.
722
00:45:41,595 --> 00:45:43,495
Well, okay. You wait here.
I'll get my things.
723
00:45:43,565 --> 00:45:45,829
- Now, wait a minute.
- You're not leaving. Not now.
724
00:45:45,899 --> 00:45:48,459
- Where's Tony?
- Well, he's on his way to Jersey.
725
00:45:48,535 --> 00:45:50,867
- He'll call you from there.
- That's part of the big surprise.
726
00:45:50,938 --> 00:45:53,907
- I don't like surprises.
- You'll like this one.
727
00:45:53,973 --> 00:45:57,272
- Flash it on her. Go on.
- Put on your sunglasses.
728
00:45:58,979 --> 00:46:02,039
- Oh, boy.
- Seven grand boiled into that one.
729
00:46:02,115 --> 00:46:05,607
Well, Tony doesn't have to bribe me
just because I do him a little favor.
730
00:46:05,684 --> 00:46:07,811
I'd like to see him try and get it back.
731
00:46:07,886 --> 00:46:11,083
- Hey, it's a little big.
- Third finger, left hand.
732
00:46:11,556 --> 00:46:13,217
Say, who do you think you're kidding?
733
00:46:13,291 --> 00:46:15,816
- The future Mrs. Tony Crow.
- What?
734
00:46:15,894 --> 00:46:18,385
Tony's finally decided to use
that license you took out last June.
735
00:46:18,463 --> 00:46:20,090
Well, it's about time.
736
00:46:20,165 --> 00:46:21,792
It was his mouthpiece's idea.
737
00:46:21,865 --> 00:46:24,265
A wife can't testify
against her husband, see?
738
00:46:24,335 --> 00:46:26,166
Don't put it that way, you dope.
739
00:46:26,235 --> 00:46:28,260
Say, he's been crazy about you
since you met.
740
00:46:28,339 --> 00:46:31,001
Yeah, but it took the DA
to make him pop the question.
741
00:46:31,076 --> 00:46:32,634
He's really got a big crush on you.
742
00:46:32,711 --> 00:46:35,009
Sure. Only the other day he said to me,
743
00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:37,947
"I get a bigger bang out of that Honey
than any dame I ever knew. "
744
00:46:38,015 --> 00:46:39,448
- Yeah?
- You don't know how lucky you are.
745
00:46:39,516 --> 00:46:42,144
Oh, don't I though? Mrs. Tony Crow.
746
00:46:42,754 --> 00:46:46,019
Diamonds, and ermine
and a house in Westchester.
747
00:46:46,091 --> 00:46:47,456
The wedding's gotta be a fast one.
748
00:46:47,525 --> 00:46:49,288
Now, lay low and stick close by the phone.
749
00:46:49,361 --> 00:46:51,886
- We'll call you tomorrow morning.
- Yeah. The bride will be waiting.
750
00:46:51,962 --> 00:46:53,953
Hey, here's a paper
that's got the whole story.
751
00:46:54,031 --> 00:46:56,499
Read it in your room, Mrs. Crow.
752
00:47:02,039 --> 00:47:03,301
Oh, fine!
753
00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:12,875
Gentlemen, if I may have
just one moment.
754
00:47:12,949 --> 00:47:17,147
Gentlemen, if you please.
I think we are just about ready to record.
755
00:47:23,125 --> 00:47:26,322
"The Totten Musical Encyclopedia,
recording number 684J,
756
00:47:26,394 --> 00:47:31,331
"illustrating chapters 22 to 29
in Volume 11, The History of Jazz.
757
00:47:31,867 --> 00:47:35,359
"From Africa came the first
musical instrument, a drum.
758
00:47:39,174 --> 00:47:41,802
"The hollow trunk of a tree
or a taut animal hide
759
00:47:41,876 --> 00:47:44,071
"supplied the rhythm or beat.
760
00:47:44,145 --> 00:47:47,308
"To the basic rhythm
was added the human voice.
761
00:47:52,554 --> 00:47:56,149
"Next, the first wind instrument,
the shepherd's flute.
762
00:48:02,697 --> 00:48:05,495
"The basic beat of the tom-tom
and the same thematic strain

"of the chant that was carried
across oceans
764
00:48:07,634 --> 00:48:12,128
"and contained in early Spanish music
after the invention of the guitar.
765
00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:30,582
"It spread to countries
which share the Spanish language.
766
00:48:30,656 --> 00:48:33,056
"Cuba, West Indies, and South America
767
00:48:33,125 --> 00:48:36,959

assumed a new form of expression.
768

"The ever-widening cycle finally reached
the shores of the southern United States
769
00:48:46,205 --> 00:48:48,400
"where the beat was momentarily lost,
770
00:48:48,474 --> 00:48:51,910
"but the melody was woven
into pure Negro spiritual. "
771
00:48:54,511 --> 00:48:58,504
- Mockingbird
- Mockingbird
772
00:48:58,582 --> 00:49:01,983
- Sang at morn
- Sang at morn
773
00:49:02,452 --> 00:49:08,220
- And a song was born
- And a song was born
774
00:49:08,658 --> 00:49:12,253
- Mockingbird
- Mockingbird
775
00:49:12,328 --> 00:49:15,855
- Sang at morn
- Sang at morn
776
00:49:16,198 --> 00:49:21,500
- And a song was born
- And a song was born
777
00:49:21,870 --> 00:49:22,859
Then, the beat returned.
778
00:49:22,938 --> 00:49:24,838
Well, the mockingbird
779
00:49:24,906 --> 00:49:27,204
- Mockingbird
- Mockingbird
780
00:49:27,275 --> 00:49:28,674
Oh, mockingbird
781
00:49:28,743 --> 00:49:30,210
- Well, Lord looked down
- Well, Lord looked down
782
00:49:30,278 --> 00:49:31,575
- And he gave the word
- And he gave the word

- And the angels put a song
- And the angels put a song

00:49:33,215 --> 00:49:34,512

- When man was born

786
00:49:35,950 --> 00:49:37,611
- He liked what he heard
- He liked what he heard
787
00:49:37,685 --> 00:49:38,811
- And sang to the Lord
- And sang to the Lord
788
00:49:38,887 --> 00:49:40,081
- With the mockingbird
- With the mockingbird
789
00:49:40,155 --> 00:49:42,646
Singing, Lord, hear me
790
00:49:42,723 --> 00:49:45,851
Well, he sang to the Lord
With the mockingbird
791
00:49:45,925 --> 00:49:48,553
Praise be
792
00:49:48,630 --> 00:49:49,756
- And the good Lord
- And the good Lord
793
00:49:49,831 --> 00:49:52,322
- Liked everything he heard
- Liked everything he heard
794
00:49:56,970 --> 00:50:00,701
They took the tune and the words
795
00:50:00,774 --> 00:50:03,174
Right from the mockingbirds
796
00:50:03,243 --> 00:50:07,009
That's how a song was born
797
00:50:07,948 --> 00:50:11,679
And then a soft evening breeze
798
00:50:11,751 --> 00:50:14,083
Hummed through the willow trees
799
00:50:14,153 --> 00:50:17,953
That's how a song was born
800
00:50:18,925 --> 00:50:25,091
The tinkling rain from the sky
became a lullaby
801
00:50:25,166 --> 00:50:29,933
And the blues must have come from a sigh
802
00:50:30,003 --> 00:50:33,803
And when two hearts beat in time
803
00:50:33,875 --> 00:50:36,241
Bluebells began to chime
804
00:50:36,310 --> 00:50:40,246
That's how a song was born
805
00:50:41,849 --> 00:50:44,477
They took a beat and made it reet
806
00:50:44,551 --> 00:50:47,816
They took a beat
and brought it down to Basin Street
807
00:50:47,888 --> 00:50:50,254
Now we got it jumpin'
808
00:50:50,324 --> 00:50:52,986
Satchmo, get on that horn
809
00:50:53,059 --> 00:50:55,721
Let's hear, let's hear
810
00:50:55,795 --> 00:50:58,286
Let's hear how jazz was born
811
00:51:03,203 --> 00:51:05,068
One, two, three, four.
812
00:51:08,407 --> 00:51:10,967
They took a reet jungle beat
813
00:51:11,043 --> 00:51:12,704
Brought it to Basin Street
814
00:51:12,778 --> 00:51:15,872
And that's how jazz was born
815
00:51:15,947 --> 00:51:18,347
And then someone played a waiI
816
00:51:18,417 --> 00:51:20,282
All up and down the scale
817
00:51:20,352 --> 00:51:23,719
And that's how jazz was born
818
00:51:23,788 --> 00:51:26,018
They simply played what they liked
819
00:51:26,091 --> 00:51:28,059
As long as it would fit
820
00:51:28,126 --> 00:51:29,718
If it just had a beat
821
00:51:29,794 --> 00:51:31,352
That was it
822
00:51:31,428 --> 00:51:33,862
And when a horn gave a scream
823
00:51:33,932 --> 00:51:35,832
They took it as a theme
824
00:51:35,900 --> 00:51:38,664
And that's how jazz was born
825
00:52:11,401 --> 00:52:13,130
Blow it, Professor.
826
00:53:35,948 --> 00:53:38,041
- Hiya, kids.
- The expert is here.
827
00:53:38,116 --> 00:53:39,140
We need you.
828
00:53:39,217 --> 00:53:40,241
- Yes, very much.
- What's the trouble?
829
00:53:40,318 --> 00:53:42,149
We've been listening to the music
from across the hall.
830
00:53:42,220 --> 00:53:44,688
- It's very nice.
- They've been having jam sessions.
831
00:53:44,755 --> 00:53:46,222
- A jam session.
- It sounds like a lot of fun.
832
00:53:46,288 --> 00:53:47,653
- We'd like to try it.
- Why don't you?
833
00:53:47,724 --> 00:53:48,884
We don't know how to begin.
834
00:53:48,959 --> 00:53:50,688
They don't seem to have
any kind of set form.
835
00:53:50,762 --> 00:53:55,222
Well, you're right there.
That's exactly what a jam session is.
836
00:53:55,298 --> 00:53:59,291
The first thing you want to do
is let a little light in here.
837
00:53:59,369 --> 00:54:02,964
Okay, kids, now all kind of gather around,
and we'll get into it.
838
00:54:03,038 --> 00:54:06,201
A jam session is taking a little tune
you all know and doing things with it.
839
00:54:06,276 --> 00:54:08,904
- Doing things?
- Sort of kicking it around like...
840
00:54:08,979 --> 00:54:10,412
Well, what music do you know?
841
00:54:10,479 --> 00:54:12,037
- You mean jump?
- Jive?
842
00:54:12,114 --> 00:54:13,479
- Swing?
- ELFINl: Blues?
843
00:54:14,650 --> 00:54:15,708
Rebop.
844
00:54:15,785 --> 00:54:17,252
- Hello.
- Hello.
845
00:54:17,318 --> 00:54:19,047
Miss Honey, these are
two good friends of ours.
846
00:54:19,121 --> 00:54:20,520
- We're the window washers.
- We're the window washers.
847
00:54:20,591 --> 00:54:21,717
- He's Buck.
- And that's Bubbles.
848
00:54:21,792 --> 00:54:23,657
- Hi.
- We're about to have a little jam session.
849
00:54:23,727 --> 00:54:24,716
Would you care to join us?
850
00:54:24,795 --> 00:54:25,819
- We sure would.
- We sure would.
851
00:54:25,895 --> 00:54:27,453
Okay. Let's get back.
Now, where were we?
852
00:54:27,530 --> 00:54:29,430
- We were talking about jump.
- Jive.
853
00:54:29,498 --> 00:54:31,090
- Swing.
- Well, then you kids know all that.
854
00:54:31,167 --> 00:54:32,691
No, we don't know any
of that kind of music.
855
00:54:32,767 --> 00:54:35,395
- They taught us those words.
- Well, that makes it kind of tough.
856
00:54:35,472 --> 00:54:36,700
Now, what do you know?
857
00:54:36,772 --> 00:54:38,706
- Well, we know Beethoven.
- Bizet.
858
00:54:38,774 --> 00:54:39,763
- Wagner.
- Brahms.
859
00:54:39,842 --> 00:54:41,469
Don't you know anything
lighter than that?
860
00:54:41,544 --> 00:54:42,806
- Symphonies.
- Concertos.
861
00:54:42,878 --> 00:54:44,072
- Operas.
- Operas?
862
00:54:44,145 --> 00:54:45,510
- Oh, yes.
- We know all of them.
863
00:54:45,580 --> 00:54:47,878
Well, this will be a new kind of jam
session, a long-haired one.
864
00:54:47,949 --> 00:54:49,109
- Can you sing?
- No. No.
865
00:54:49,184 --> 00:54:51,118
I'm afraid we don't know the words
to the operas.
866
00:54:51,186 --> 00:54:52,676
- We're more interested in music.
- Any words will do.
867
00:54:52,754 --> 00:54:54,483
You got a newspaper, or a time-table
or something?
868
00:54:54,555 --> 00:54:55,544
Sure, he's got something.
869
00:54:55,622 --> 00:54:57,988
- How will this be?
- What have you got there, Bubbles?
870
00:54:58,058 --> 00:55:01,027
This is fine.
But we've gotta do a little rehearsing.
871
00:55:01,095 --> 00:55:02,824
Now, this is what I want you to do.
872
00:55:02,896 --> 00:55:05,228
You're to sing the words
from the piece I give you.
873
00:55:05,499 --> 00:55:07,399
- Here is yours.
- Thank you.
874
00:55:07,468 --> 00:55:10,403
Here is yours.
Just sing whatever you read.
875
00:55:14,807 --> 00:55:18,174
Totten Musical Encyclopedia,
long-haired jam session.
876
00:55:19,077 --> 00:55:21,045
- All ready, kids?
- Yes, yes, indeed.
877
00:55:21,114 --> 00:55:23,480
Okay, let's go. Now watch it.
878
00:55:30,289 --> 00:55:33,918
Daily racing form selections
Post positions and the odds
879
00:55:36,896 --> 00:55:40,263
Weather raining, and it's muddy
and the track is very slow
880
00:55:40,332 --> 00:55:45,065
I think I like Sad Sack
881
00:55:45,137 --> 00:55:51,508
It says he worked a mile in 1.:57 flat
882
00:55:51,576 --> 00:55:53,100
Too bad he scratched
883
00:55:53,178 --> 00:55:56,477
Oh, why did poor old Sad Sack have to go
884
00:55:56,547 --> 00:55:59,744
- Why did poor old Sad Sack
- Why did poor old Sad Sack
885
00:55:59,817 --> 00:56:02,411
- Have to go get scratched
- Have to go get scratched
886
00:56:03,920 --> 00:56:05,387
They're off!
887
00:56:06,624 --> 00:56:09,616
Giddyup, giddyup, giddyup, yap yap
Giddyup, giddyup, giddyup, yap yap
888
00:56:09,693 --> 00:56:11,251
Giddyup, giddyup, giddyup, yap yap
889
00:56:11,327 --> 00:56:12,658
- Who's ahead? Who's ahead?
- Gallorett's in front
890
00:56:12,729 --> 00:56:13,718
- By a nose
- By a neck
891
00:56:13,796 --> 00:56:14,785
By half a length
892
00:56:14,864 --> 00:56:16,627
Man O' War's at the clubhouse turn
893
00:56:16,699 --> 00:56:19,327
Flying Schmo's last
894
00:56:20,335 --> 00:56:22,735
Forty lengths behind
895
00:56:23,839 --> 00:56:26,933
- Run, run, run, run
- Run, run, run, run
896
00:56:27,009 --> 00:56:30,137
- Go, go, go, go
- Go, go, go, go
897
00:56:30,212 --> 00:56:33,181
- Run, run, Honeymoon
- Run, run, Honeymoon
898
00:56:35,918 --> 00:56:37,385
Thank you all very much, gentlemen,
same time tomorrow.
899
00:56:37,452 --> 00:56:38,783
- See you tomorrow.
- Okay, Professor.
900
00:56:38,855 --> 00:56:39,947
- Nice going, Magenbruch.
- Thanks.
901
00:56:40,022 --> 00:56:41,614
That was swell, Mag.
Okay, Fris.
902
00:56:41,690 --> 00:56:43,123
Just listen to that.
903
00:56:43,192 --> 00:56:46,093
Professor Frisbee, either that woman
leaves this house, or I do.
904
00:56:46,160 --> 00:56:48,321
- Are you speaking of Miss Honey?
- I am.
905
00:56:48,396 --> 00:56:50,557
Ever since that woman
crossed this threshold,
906
00:56:50,631 --> 00:56:53,759
a prairie fire of orgiastic events
has swept through this house.
907
00:57:06,346 --> 00:57:09,509
- Frisbee! Are you hurt?
- No, it merely startled me.
908
00:57:09,583 --> 00:57:11,744
- It must have fallen from that shelf.
- Yes.
909
00:57:11,818 --> 00:57:13,979
- I'll put it back.
- It was probably sympathetic vibration
910
00:57:14,053 --> 00:57:15,213
that caused it to fall.
911
00:57:15,287 --> 00:57:17,881
Resonance can be a very powerful thing.
912
00:57:17,958 --> 00:57:19,391
- It has been proved.
- That's true.
913
00:57:19,458 --> 00:57:22,052
Seven trumpets tumbled
down the walls of Jericho.
914
00:57:22,127 --> 00:57:24,220
Caruso shattered a wineglass
by merely singing at it.
915
00:57:24,297 --> 00:57:26,231
- True.
- That's all very interesting gentlemen,
916
00:57:26,298 --> 00:57:29,290
but our whole project seems to be
suffering from some sort of vibration.
917
00:57:29,368 --> 00:57:31,836
- What do you mean?
- I'd like to talk to Miss Honey alone.
918
00:57:31,903 --> 00:57:34,565
- But we were...
- If you don't mind.
919
00:57:47,619 --> 00:57:51,282
Now, Miss Honey.
Would you take this chair, please?
920
00:57:53,125 --> 00:57:55,685
- That particular chair?
- Yes, if you don't mind.
921
00:57:55,761 --> 00:57:56,887
Okay.
922
00:57:58,229 --> 00:58:00,663
Would you open your mouth?
A little wider.
923
00:58:02,400 --> 00:58:04,300
- Thank you.
- Can I close it now?
924
00:58:04,369 --> 00:58:05,893
Oh, please do.
925
00:58:05,970 --> 00:58:07,369
- Miss Honey.
- Yeah.
926
00:58:07,438 --> 00:58:11,204
Circumstances under which, that is, over
which none of us has the least control
927
00:58:11,275 --> 00:58:14,369
force me to a step
I am most reluctant to take.
928
00:58:14,445 --> 00:58:17,505
The sky is perfectly clear,
the thermometer is at 76,
929
00:58:17,581 --> 00:58:20,311
your throat appears quite normal.
930
00:58:20,384 --> 00:58:22,579
I'm afraid I must ask you to leave.
931
00:58:22,654 --> 00:58:24,554
Leave here? Why?
932
00:58:25,455 --> 00:58:29,448
I want you to look at this project,
this history of music, as a voyage,
933
00:58:29,526 --> 00:58:32,290
a long, hard tedious voyage.
934
00:58:32,361 --> 00:58:35,660
And when the Foundation
first launched its vessel,
935
00:58:35,731 --> 00:58:38,700
it wisely followed an old rule of the sea.
936
00:58:38,768 --> 00:58:40,360
No women aboard.
937
00:58:40,803 --> 00:58:43,397
Consequently they chose a crew
of single men
938
00:58:43,471 --> 00:58:46,031
with nothing to distract them
from the course they were about to sail.
939
00:58:46,109 --> 00:58:48,168
Say, Junior, you couldn't stop
walking up and down here?
940
00:58:48,244 --> 00:58:49,609
For the last four days, Miss Honey,
941
00:58:49,678 --> 00:58:51,908
we have been doing nothing
but just drifting.
942
00:58:51,980 --> 00:58:55,006
The needle of the compass
no longer points to the magnetic pole.
943
00:58:55,084 --> 00:58:57,609
It points, if I may say so, to your ankles.
944
00:58:57,686 --> 00:58:59,984
Come now, admiral,
a bunch of grown men.
945
00:59:00,055 --> 00:59:03,855
- They've all seen a pair of ankles before.
- Not in nine years, they haven't.
946
00:59:03,924 --> 00:59:07,087
Except for the singularly uninspired
underpinnings of Miss Bragg.
947
00:59:07,161 --> 00:59:09,891
Well, if you think I'm bothering them,
I'll sit on my legs,
948
00:59:09,964 --> 00:59:12,125
and I'll do it in my room or in the kitchen.
949
00:59:12,200 --> 00:59:14,498
It's too late. You must leave now.
950
00:59:14,568 --> 00:59:16,126
But I can't leave now.
951
00:59:16,203 --> 00:59:19,331
What about your work?
It isn't even finished.
952
00:59:19,405 --> 00:59:20,804
There are a lot of things
we haven't even touched on.
953
00:59:20,874 --> 00:59:21,932
Make no mistake, Miss Honey,
954
00:59:22,008 --> 00:59:24,476
I shall regret deeply the absence
of your keen mind.
955
00:59:24,544 --> 00:59:27,877
But, unfortunately, it's inseparable
from an extremely disturbing body.
956
00:59:29,682 --> 00:59:31,013
All right, I'll go.
957
00:59:31,084 --> 00:59:32,847
Only don't shove.
I'll leave some time tomorrow.
958
00:59:32,919 --> 00:59:33,943
No, not tomorrow. Right away.
959
00:59:34,020 --> 00:59:36,352
- But I tell you I...
- I insist.
960
00:59:36,422 --> 00:59:39,323
- Old crabapple Annie. Listen...
- Crabapple Annie!
961
00:59:39,391 --> 00:59:41,256
Why that implies that I'm puritanical
and narrow-minded.
962
00:59:41,327 --> 00:59:42,316
- Yeah.
- Well, I'm not.
963
00:59:42,394 --> 00:59:44,328
I'm a perfectly normal man
with perfectly normal instincts.
964
00:59:44,396 --> 00:59:47,490
- An awful high boiling point.
- Not even that.
965
00:59:47,566 --> 00:59:49,363
I, too, have been acutely aware
of your presence.
966
00:59:49,434 --> 00:59:50,458
You have?
967
00:59:50,534 --> 00:59:53,435
But fortunately, I'm strong enough to
be able to resist its demoralizing effects.
968
00:59:53,505 --> 00:59:54,529
Oh, really?
969
00:59:54,607 --> 00:59:56,768
I admit at times
it was quite a struggle, but...
970
00:59:56,843 --> 00:59:59,710
- Like when?
- Well, twice to be exact.
971
00:59:59,778 --> 01:00:01,245
The first time
when you leaned over my shoulder
972
01:00:01,313 --> 01:00:02,837
to explain the meaning of the word riff.
973
01:00:02,913 --> 01:00:05,507
- And the second time?
- I'm not finished with the first time.
974
01:00:05,584 --> 01:00:08,576
You leaned over my shoulder,
and I felt your breath on my ear.
975
01:00:08,652 --> 01:00:10,119
- And...
- And the second time,
976
01:00:10,188 --> 01:00:13,783
you were standing up against the window
with the sunlight in your hair.
977
01:00:13,858 --> 01:00:17,191
- But you didn't do anything about it.
- Yes, I did. I left the room.
978
01:00:17,260 --> 01:00:19,057
I went upstairs,
dipped my handkerchief into cold water
979
01:00:19,129 --> 01:00:21,620
and put it on the back of my neck.
Right here, where the nerve center is.
980
01:00:21,699 --> 01:00:22,859
You're cute.
981
01:00:22,932 --> 01:00:26,493
Just a little sunlight in my hair
and you had to water your neck.
982
01:00:26,569 --> 01:00:28,799
Well, perhaps
I shouldn't have mentioned it.
983
01:00:28,872 --> 01:00:29,896
But I'm trying to explain
984
01:00:29,973 --> 01:00:33,966
that the whole success
of the project depends on this.
985
01:00:34,042 --> 01:00:38,274
I want you to cooperate.
986
01:00:39,349 --> 01:00:42,147
I'd like you to leave.
987
01:00:43,519 --> 01:00:48,081
- Do you really mean that?
- Yes, I do. I do.
988
01:00:49,524 --> 01:00:52,857
Well, as long as I'm leaving anyway,
I may as well spill it.
989
01:00:52,927 --> 01:00:54,622
Spill it? Spill what?
990
01:00:54,696 --> 01:00:56,493
Why do you think I came here
in the first place?
991
01:00:56,565 --> 01:00:59,898
- Well, I imagine to help me in my research.
- No, I came on account of you.
992
01:00:59,968 --> 01:01:01,435
- On account of me?
- Yeah.
993
01:01:01,503 --> 01:01:02,492
Of all the men I've ever met,
994
01:01:02,570 --> 01:01:06,301
I had to fall for a strong,
silent man of distinction.
995
01:01:06,374 --> 01:01:08,205
- Distinction...
- A man of unbending willpower,
996
01:01:08,276 --> 01:01:11,074
a man who can just flip me away
like an old cigarette butt.
997
01:01:11,145 --> 01:01:14,603
- Now, don't let it upset you, Miss Honey.
- But it does upset me.
998
01:01:14,682 --> 01:01:19,551
Unfortunately, I don't happen to be strong.
I can't steel myself against you.
999
01:01:19,619 --> 01:01:21,519
- Against me?
- Yeah, you.
1000
01:01:23,022 --> 01:01:27,220
Maybe it sounds crazy, but to me,
you're a regular yumyum type.
1001
01:01:27,294 --> 01:01:30,525
- A yumyum?
- Yeah, you know what that means?
1002
01:01:30,597 --> 01:01:32,258
No, we haven't gotten to that yet.
1003
01:01:32,331 --> 01:01:35,164
We've got to it now, and I'm glad it's out.
1004
01:01:35,237 --> 01:01:37,068
I don't give a whoop
if the others went for me.
1005
01:01:37,139 --> 01:01:41,166
It's you I'm wacky about. Just plain wacky.
Can you understand that?
1006
01:01:41,244 --> 01:01:43,371
- Please, Miss Honey...
- Please nothing.
1007
01:01:43,445 --> 01:01:48,178
Maybe you can generate or whatever it is
for all that suppress business, but I can't.
1008
01:01:48,249 --> 01:01:51,912
Come here. You're so tall.
1009
01:01:53,754 --> 01:01:55,654
- What are you doing?
- You'll find out.
1010
01:01:55,723 --> 01:01:57,315
That's an extremely valuable
reference book.
1011
01:01:57,391 --> 01:01:59,382
That's just too bad.
1012
01:02:00,628 --> 01:02:02,596
- Just perfect.
- What are you gonna do?
1013
01:02:02,662 --> 01:02:05,222
I'm going to show you what yumyum is.
1014
01:02:05,299 --> 01:02:07,028
Here's yum.
1015
01:02:08,469 --> 01:02:10,494
And here's the other yum.
1016
01:02:12,273 --> 01:02:14,434
And here's yumyum.
1017
01:02:19,312 --> 01:02:22,042
- Pardon me.
- Hey, where are you going?
1018
01:02:27,654 --> 01:02:29,679
Did you see?
He almost stepped on my hand.
1019
01:02:29,756 --> 01:02:31,815
- Three steps at a time.
- Like a shot out of a gun.
1020
01:02:31,891 --> 01:02:32,983
- Why?
- I don't know.
1021
01:02:33,058 --> 01:02:36,824
To get a razor strap I hope,
and I hope he knows where to apply it.
1022
01:02:48,239 --> 01:02:51,231
- Well, Professor Frisbee?
- Yes, Miss Bragg.
1023
01:02:52,043 --> 01:02:55,376
Would someone call a taxicab
for Miss Honey, please?
1024
01:02:55,445 --> 01:02:57,413
Of course, right away.
1025
01:03:07,823 --> 01:03:10,018
- Fine business.
- I beg your pardon?
1026
01:03:10,092 --> 01:03:11,957
What's the big idea
of running out on me like that?
1027
01:03:12,029 --> 01:03:13,826
Oh, nothing. Nothing.
1028
01:03:14,198 --> 01:03:16,598
I've been thinking, Miss Honey, and...
1029
01:03:16,667 --> 01:03:21,229
Well, the last few minutes
have confirmed my former decision.
1030
01:03:21,305 --> 01:03:23,500
Your further presence here would be fatal.
1031
01:03:23,574 --> 01:03:27,704
You must get me out of your mind
just as I must get you out of this house.
1032
01:03:27,777 --> 01:03:29,506
Your hair's wet.
1033
01:03:29,579 --> 01:03:32,605
- Well, never mind, please.
- Well, it is wet.
1034
01:03:32,682 --> 01:03:34,149
Well, what of it?
1035
01:03:34,216 --> 01:03:36,309
Nothing. I just happened to notice it.
1036
01:03:36,384 --> 01:03:39,876
- Well, forget it, please.
- Okay, okay, but it is wet.
1037
01:03:40,488 --> 01:03:43,651
Now, to get back
to the subject under discussion.
1038
01:03:44,293 --> 01:03:48,024
It would be idle for me to deny that I too
feel very strongly
1039
01:03:48,096 --> 01:03:51,463
this affinity that you spoke about
a few minutes ago.
1040
01:03:51,533 --> 01:03:54,934
But after three years
when my work is finished,
1041
01:03:55,002 --> 01:03:58,438
perhaps we can take up where we left off.
1042
01:03:59,140 --> 01:04:01,700
In the meantime,
I hope that we may continue
1043
01:04:01,775 --> 01:04:04,573
with some sort of correspondence.
1044
01:04:06,013 --> 01:04:09,380
- Would you, Miss Honey?
- Oh, Frizzy.
1045
01:04:10,583 --> 01:04:11,880
I know.
1046
01:04:11,952 --> 01:04:15,183
That's the way I feel, too, but it has to be.
1047
01:04:16,357 --> 01:04:19,326
Just one more thing before you go,
Miss Honey.
1048
01:04:19,392 --> 01:04:22,020
It will probably be a long time
1049
01:04:22,095 --> 01:04:27,465
and I thought perhaps... Well, that is... I...
1050
01:04:31,070 --> 01:04:34,801
Would you yum me just once more?
1051
01:04:41,246 --> 01:04:43,942
- It seems so unnecessary.
- Yes, it does.
1052
01:04:44,016 --> 01:04:45,779
I think it's very...
1053
01:04:46,818 --> 01:04:49,082
- Taxi is here.
- I'll tell him.
1054
01:04:53,157 --> 01:04:56,718
Professor Frisbee, the taxi
for that young woman is here.
1055
01:04:59,030 --> 01:05:03,490
Professor Frisbee, the taxi. The taxi!
1056
01:05:07,003 --> 01:05:09,699
- Yes, what is it?
- The taxi is here.
1057
01:05:10,407 --> 01:05:13,069
Taxi? What taxi?
1058
01:05:13,743 --> 01:05:15,643
Miss Swanson's or mine?
1059
01:05:17,915 --> 01:05:20,315
It's all yours, crabapple Annie!
1060
01:05:27,557 --> 01:05:29,752
- Get some coffee.
- Yes.
1061
01:05:38,801 --> 01:05:41,895
Now, you just sit down,
and we'll get you something to eat.
1062
01:05:41,971 --> 01:05:46,101
- Miss Bragg kept something warm.
- Just sit down.
1063
01:05:46,176 --> 01:05:48,838
- Here's your coffee, Frisbee.
- Where have you been, Frisbee?
1064
01:05:48,912 --> 01:05:52,814
- Yeah, it's almost 4:00 in the morning.
- What happened to you?
1065
01:05:55,084 --> 01:05:58,918
- Come on, drink your coffee, Frisbee.
- Yes, here's the sugar.
1066
01:05:59,488 --> 01:06:01,012
Sugar, Frisbee.
1067
01:06:01,623 --> 01:06:03,523
No, no, that's salt.
1068
01:06:04,259 --> 01:06:05,988
Get another cup of coffee.
1069
01:06:06,060 --> 01:06:09,757
Now, Frisbee, you left before dinner.
Where have you been?
1070
01:06:15,803 --> 01:06:18,294
- Not on the cake.
- That's mustard.
1071
01:06:18,371 --> 01:06:19,599
Here's some more coffee.
1072
01:06:19,673 --> 01:06:23,268
ELFINl: Now, Frisbee, won't you please
tell us where you've been?
1073
01:06:30,016 --> 01:06:31,711
Wait a minute.
1074
01:06:35,021 --> 01:06:36,079
No.
1075
01:06:40,860 --> 01:06:41,884
ELFINl: Oh, no.
1076
01:06:41,961 --> 01:06:43,087
No, no, no. Frisbee. Frisbee.
1077
01:06:43,162 --> 01:06:44,459
Have some toast.
1078
01:06:44,531 --> 01:06:47,056
Please, tell us. What's the matter?
1079
01:06:49,569 --> 01:06:51,901
Please, Frisbee. Frisbee?
1080
01:06:52,805 --> 01:06:54,568
What is the matter?
1081
01:06:56,808 --> 01:06:58,503
What's the matter?
1082
01:06:58,810 --> 01:07:00,710
I'm in love! That's what's the matter.
I'm in love.
1083
01:07:00,780 --> 01:07:03,476
I'm going upstairs
to propose to her right now.
1084
01:07:03,548 --> 01:07:04,572
ELFINl: Frisbee?
1085
01:07:04,649 --> 01:07:06,981
Thank you, gentlemen, for the food.
It was delicious.
1086
01:07:07,051 --> 01:07:09,178
- Frisbee.
- Well, good night.
1087
01:07:10,988 --> 01:07:11,977
Frisbee! Frisbee!
1088
01:07:15,226 --> 01:07:17,490
- Package for Frisbee.
- That's me. Thank you very much.
1089
01:07:17,562 --> 01:07:19,291
- Sign here.
- What was the delay, young man?
1090
01:07:19,364 --> 01:07:20,524
Just sign there.
1091
01:07:20,598 --> 01:07:23,260
- I trust the engraving is all right.
- I guess so.
1092
01:07:23,333 --> 01:07:26,166
Thank you. Just a moment. Here you are.
1093
01:07:27,069 --> 01:07:29,333
- Thanks.
- You're quite welcome.
1094
01:07:30,174 --> 01:07:31,801
ELFINl: Are you sure it's a real diamond,
Frisbee?
1095
01:07:31,875 --> 01:07:33,206
I'm certain that it is.
1096
01:07:33,276 --> 01:07:35,244
The ring cost me $83.95,
1097
01:07:35,311 --> 01:07:37,745
which didn't include the two dollars
for the engraving.
1098
01:07:37,814 --> 01:07:40,874
- Let's see it, Frisbee.
- I'm trying to open it.
1099
01:07:45,222 --> 01:07:47,315
- Here, you...
- Yes, I...
1100
01:07:47,757 --> 01:07:49,281
There it is.
1101
01:07:49,926 --> 01:07:52,190
- Lovely. Lovely.
- It isn't very big, is it?
1102
01:07:52,261 --> 01:07:54,729
- But it is in extremely good taste.
- Lovely. Lovely.
1103
01:07:54,797 --> 01:07:56,321
Frisbee, as a man of experience,
1104
01:07:56,398 --> 01:07:58,559
- I assure you that I like it.
- Thank you very much.
1105
01:07:58,633 --> 01:08:00,692
Here's the breakfast you ordered,
Professor Frisbee.
1106
01:08:00,769 --> 01:08:02,168
Thank you, Miss Bragg.
1107
01:08:02,238 --> 01:08:04,263
Room service. Now it's room service.
1108
01:08:04,339 --> 01:08:07,308
Elfini, would you please put the ring
under the toast cover?
1109
01:08:07,375 --> 01:08:10,037
- Why, certainly.
- Thank you.
1110
01:08:11,245 --> 01:08:13,941
- Well, goodbye.
- Good luck.
1111
01:08:14,014 --> 01:08:17,506
- Don't take no for an answer, Frisbee.
Be careful.
1112
01:08:23,189 --> 01:08:25,623
If I were the cream
for that woman's coffee, I'd curdle.
1113
01:08:25,692 --> 01:08:28,126
Miss Bragg, I thought you were leaving us.
1114
01:08:28,193 --> 01:08:32,391
A nurse doesn't desert her post
when an epidemic reaches its crisis.
1115
01:08:35,735 --> 01:08:37,532
Come in.
1116
01:08:40,272 --> 01:08:42,797
- Good morning.
- Good morning, Frizzy.
1117
01:08:42,875 --> 01:08:43,899
I brought your breakfast.
1118
01:08:43,976 --> 01:08:46,706
Good. I'll have it right here. Thank you.
1119
01:08:47,881 --> 01:08:50,315
- How do you take it?
- Just jav, no cow.
1120
01:08:50,383 --> 01:08:52,112
- Just what?
- Black.
1121
01:08:53,619 --> 01:08:55,746
- Sugar?
- Straight.
1122
01:08:58,291 --> 01:09:00,623
- Toast?
- No, thanks.
1123
01:09:02,195 --> 01:09:04,686
You sure you don't want some toast?
1124
01:09:06,565 --> 01:09:08,760
- No toast, huh?
- Never use it.
1125
01:09:10,636 --> 01:09:12,536
Not even a small bite?
1126
01:09:13,272 --> 01:09:16,435
- Sit down. Take a load off your feet.
- Toast.
1127
01:09:20,344 --> 01:09:23,245
That's a book I was reading last night.
1128
01:09:23,314 --> 01:09:25,339
I couldn't sleep last night, either.
1129
01:09:25,416 --> 01:09:29,614
I just kept walking and walking until
the sun came up over the East Sixties.
1130
01:09:29,687 --> 01:09:31,245
I had to have time
to gather my thoughts together
1131
01:09:31,322 --> 01:09:34,416
and kind of clarify our relationship.
1132
01:09:34,492 --> 01:09:35,823
You ever get one of those?
1133
01:09:35,893 --> 01:09:39,294
Yes, Miss Honey.
It's very important to me, too.
1134
01:09:39,362 --> 01:09:42,661
You see, it's new and rather strange.
1135
01:09:43,967 --> 01:09:49,098
Up until now, my life has been like,
well, like an un-orchestrated theme.
1136
01:09:49,739 --> 01:09:53,004
Say, you couldn't talk a little plainer,
could you?
1137
01:09:53,542 --> 01:09:56,102
Not unless you have a piece of toast
1138
01:09:59,915 --> 01:10:02,907
or at least look under the lid anyway.
1139
01:10:06,789 --> 01:10:09,087
You went and bought me a present.
1140
01:10:09,158 --> 01:10:10,853
I hope it fits.
1141
01:10:10,926 --> 01:10:15,659
I went all over town last night trying
to find a jewelry store that was open.
1142
01:10:17,032 --> 01:10:21,401
Now, isn't that sweet?
It's a lovely ring, really it is, Frizzy.
1143
01:10:22,203 --> 01:10:24,228
I had hoped you'd like it.
1144
01:10:24,739 --> 01:10:27,970
It's our engagement ring.
1145
01:10:30,677 --> 01:10:34,010
Frizzy, do you mean that...
1146
01:10:34,081 --> 01:10:35,378
Yes, I do.
1147
01:10:35,449 --> 01:10:38,748
- Do you mean you really thought...
- Well, I... Yes.
1148
01:10:41,654 --> 01:10:43,588
What am I supposed to say?
1149
01:10:43,657 --> 01:10:45,591
Why, just say yes.
1150
01:10:45,658 --> 01:10:48,889
After what you told me yesterday
the way you feel about me,
1151
01:10:48,961 --> 01:10:51,555
all you have to do now is say yes.
1152
01:10:52,232 --> 01:10:55,395
Frizzy, don't you think
you're being a bit hasty?
1153
01:10:56,335 --> 01:10:58,735
I'm just as surprised as you are.
1154
01:10:59,371 --> 01:11:02,738
Marriage. I always thought
I was married to my music.
1155
01:11:03,643 --> 01:11:07,079
I thought the only thing could stir me
was Piatigorsky on the cello,
1156
01:11:07,147 --> 01:11:10,878
Heifetz on the violin,
Toscanini conducting a symphony.
1157
01:11:11,449 --> 01:11:14,714
And then... Then you.
1158
01:11:16,421 --> 01:11:19,288
You see, I've had
rather a curious background.
1159
01:11:19,357 --> 01:11:22,451
I was graduated from Princeton
when I was 13.
1160
01:11:22,527 --> 01:11:24,392
When I was a year old,
I could sing Three Blind Mice,
1161
01:11:24,461 --> 01:11:26,190
and before I was three,
1162
01:11:26,263 --> 01:11:28,356
I knew that the major chord
on flattened supertonic
1163
01:11:28,433 --> 01:11:33,803
was D flat, F and A flat,
in the key of C, of course.
1164
01:11:35,106 --> 01:11:38,735
People like that... I don't know.
1165
01:11:39,643 --> 01:11:42,134
Dust just piles up on their hearts.
1166
01:11:44,180 --> 01:11:46,705
It kind of took you to blow it away.
1167
01:11:47,851 --> 01:11:51,787
Yeah, but I didn't mean
to blow it smack into your eyes.
1168
01:11:52,822 --> 01:11:54,653
That's what happened.
1169
01:11:56,758 --> 01:11:59,249
Why don't you look inside the ring?
1170
01:12:02,296 --> 01:12:05,322
There's some writing. Musical notes.
1171
01:12:05,400 --> 01:12:06,992
Yes. There wasn't enough room
for all the words,
1172
01:12:07,069 --> 01:12:09,094
so I used notes instead.
1173
01:12:09,171 --> 01:12:12,868
Notes from the opening phrase of an aria
from the opera Paris and Helen.
1174
01:12:12,942 --> 01:12:16,309
Quote, "O thou beloved,
1175
01:12:17,345 --> 01:12:19,745
"whom so long my heart desireth,
1176
01:12:20,549 --> 01:12:24,076
"when will the day ere be
that my heart thou doth bless
1177
01:12:25,487 --> 01:12:27,717
"with a softly whispered yes. "
1178
01:12:29,290 --> 01:12:30,985
Unquote I suppose.
1179
01:12:34,029 --> 01:12:37,328
I hope you don't think it's too corny.
1180
01:12:40,166 --> 01:12:41,190
Oh, Frizzy, I...
1181
01:12:43,407 --> 01:12:44,396
Yes, come in.
1182
01:12:46,008 --> 01:12:48,442
Miss Honey,
there is a telephone call for you.
1183
01:12:48,512 --> 01:12:49,501
- For me?
- Yes.
1184
01:12:49,580 --> 01:12:51,844
We hate to interrupt you,
but it is a long distance call.
1185
01:12:51,914 --> 01:12:54,405
The man on the wire said
it was from your daddy.
1186
01:12:54,483 --> 01:12:56,781
- Daddy?
- That's what he said.
1187
01:12:57,853 --> 01:13:01,152
My daddy. Oh, yeah. I'll take it right away.
1188
01:13:01,623 --> 01:13:04,023
- How did it go, Frisbee?
- Very well.
1189
01:13:04,092 --> 01:13:07,186
- She seemed quite overwhelmed.
- That was to be expected, though.
1190
01:13:07,262 --> 01:13:11,289
Excuse me, but the customary procedure
is to approach
1191
01:13:11,366 --> 01:13:13,061
- the parents of the young lady first.
- Oh, yeah.
1192
01:13:14,803 --> 01:13:17,271
- Hello.
- Hello, Honey, this is Monte.
1193
01:13:17,338 --> 01:13:18,396
The boss wants to talk to you.
1194
01:13:18,472 --> 01:13:21,202
Only we're relaying the call
so it won't be traced. Get me?
1195
01:13:21,276 --> 01:13:22,903
Here she is, boss, ready?
1196
01:13:22,977 --> 01:13:25,878
Okay, now, Honey,
don't use no names, though.
1197
01:13:31,752 --> 01:13:35,051
Oh, boy, did you call at the right minute.
Where are you?
1198
01:13:35,422 --> 01:13:38,880
A little one horse town in New Jersey.
Rancocas it's called.
1199
01:13:38,958 --> 01:13:41,085
How have you been, baby?
Everything under control?
1200
01:13:41,162 --> 01:13:44,620
Not anymore.
Things are getting complicated.
1201
01:13:44,696 --> 01:13:46,721
No, no, nothing like that.
1202
01:13:47,666 --> 01:13:51,397
It's just that one of the kiddies
has broken out in a rash.
1203
01:13:51,471 --> 01:13:53,234
Yeah, a slight case of spring fever.
1204
01:13:53,640 --> 01:13:56,302
Well, don't let the old boy
run you down in his wheelchair.
1205
01:13:56,375 --> 01:14:00,675
Everything is set, baby.
I've got a Justice of the Peace all lined up.
1206
01:14:01,013 --> 01:14:04,107
That's what we're trying to figure out.
How to get you down here.
1207
01:14:04,182 --> 01:14:07,049
No, don't want you to take a train.
They'd spot you like a lead dime.
1208
01:14:07,119 --> 01:14:08,313
They'll be watching everything,
1209
01:14:08,387 --> 01:14:10,821
Holland Tunnel,
George Washington Bridge, everything.
1210
01:14:10,889 --> 01:14:13,255
I don't care if I have to hitchhike
out of here in a hearse.
1211
01:14:13,324 --> 01:14:17,055
I've got to get out of here.
I don't like it. I want...
1212
01:14:17,861 --> 01:14:22,321
Well, what other news is there, Daddy?
Everything fine at home?
1213
01:14:23,100 --> 01:14:24,897
How's mom's lumbago?
1214
01:14:24,969 --> 01:14:27,802
- How's whose what?
- Home for her birthday?
1215
01:14:28,472 --> 01:14:30,963
Well, I don't know, Daddy.
1216
01:14:31,041 --> 01:14:34,533
I won't be long.
Just wait in the library, please.
1217
01:14:34,611 --> 01:14:38,206
If you don't mind, I'd like to have
a few words with your father.
1218
01:14:38,282 --> 01:14:40,341
Oh, sure.
1219
01:14:42,285 --> 01:14:46,278
Daddy, this is the professor
I was telling you about.
1220
01:14:51,328 --> 01:14:55,196
Hello, Mr. Swanson.
This is Hobart Frisbee.
1221
01:14:56,166 --> 01:14:59,624
I gather your daughter has told you
of our intentions.
1222
01:14:59,701 --> 01:15:02,067
Hey, what is all this double talk?
1223
01:15:02,136 --> 01:15:03,535
Before asking for her hand,
1224
01:15:03,606 --> 01:15:06,336
I realize I should have asked
your permission.
1225
01:15:06,408 --> 01:15:08,171
Please, Frizzy.
1226
01:15:08,243 --> 01:15:11,610
- Are you crazy?
- You're so right, Mr. Swanson.
1227
01:15:11,679 --> 01:15:15,240
I realize this must come
as a great shock to you.
1228
01:15:15,315 --> 01:15:18,375
One of these old dodos
has got a yen for Honey.
1229
01:15:18,785 --> 01:15:22,346
Well, speak up, son.
What have you got for to offer?
1230
01:15:22,423 --> 01:15:26,553
Well, as character references,
1231
01:15:26,627 --> 01:15:29,892
you may call the head
of the Curtis Institute in Philadelphia
1232
01:15:29,963 --> 01:15:33,262
and the president of Princeton,
that's my university.
1233
01:15:33,333 --> 01:15:36,598
Except for occasional trouble
with my left sinus,
1234
01:15:36,671 --> 01:15:39,162
I am in excellent physical condition.
1235
01:15:39,239 --> 01:15:40,797
How's your digestion, son?
1236
01:15:40,874 --> 01:15:42,535
Excellent, sir. Excellent.
1237
01:15:42,608 --> 01:15:46,169
I draw a salary of $3,200 per year
and board.
1238
01:15:46,846 --> 01:15:51,749
It's not very large,
but we'll watch our nickels and...
1239
01:15:54,687 --> 01:15:56,052
Do I what?
1240
01:15:56,689 --> 01:15:58,589
Gamble? Oh, no, sir, I...
1241
01:15:58,657 --> 01:16:00,682
That's fine. That's fine.
1242
01:16:01,660 --> 01:16:04,288
Adams, I think I've got a brain flash.
1243
01:16:04,696 --> 01:16:08,257
Son, what did you say
your first name was? Hobart?
1244
01:16:09,267 --> 01:16:11,064
Well, all right, Hobart.
1245
01:16:11,136 --> 01:16:15,004
I don't know whether Honey told you this
or not, but she's our only child.
1246
01:16:15,073 --> 01:16:17,132
Well, we hadn't figured
on having a professor in the family,
1247
01:16:17,207 --> 01:16:20,074
but if that's what she wants,
it's okay by us.
1248
01:16:20,144 --> 01:16:24,342
Well, I shall do everything in my power
to make her very happy.
1249
01:16:24,783 --> 01:16:29,117
One other thing, Hobart.
You see, we're not young anymore.
1250
01:16:29,186 --> 01:16:31,450
Her mother is an invalid,
and it would just about break her heart
1251
01:16:31,522 --> 01:16:34,389
not to see her Honey married.
You understand?
1252
01:16:34,757 --> 01:16:37,692
Of course, Mr. Swanson.
My own mother is dead,
1253
01:16:37,762 --> 01:16:40,993
but I realize what it would have meant
to her to be present.
1254
01:16:41,066 --> 01:16:42,499
Well, suppose you bring the kid
right down here.
1255
01:16:42,567 --> 01:16:43,556
We want to meet you,
1256
01:16:43,635 --> 01:16:46,900
and we'll have the ceremony right here
in our own hometown.
1257
01:16:47,137 --> 01:16:48,502
Of course.
1258
01:16:49,873 --> 01:16:53,832
May I call you Father?
1259
01:16:56,313 --> 01:16:57,940
Thank you, Father.
1260
01:16:58,015 --> 01:17:01,712
This is more than I hoped for.
Father wants to talk to you.
1261
01:17:02,952 --> 01:17:04,078
Yes?
1262
01:17:04,153 --> 01:17:06,348
Well, that takes care
of the transportation, baby.
1263
01:17:06,421 --> 01:17:09,788
Who's going to question the Curtis
Institute and Princeton University?
1264
01:17:09,859 --> 01:17:13,590
Oh, listen, to...
Daddy, maybe there's some other way.
1265
01:17:13,662 --> 01:17:15,493
I don't want to take him
for that kind of a ride.
1266
01:17:15,564 --> 01:17:17,657
It's quite all right. I'll take a few days off.
1267
01:17:17,733 --> 01:17:20,293
- Yeah, we all will.
- Excellent idea.
1268
01:17:20,369 --> 01:17:23,702
- Anyway, they don't have a car.
- We'll rent one. I can drive, I think.
1269
01:17:24,072 --> 01:17:27,064
Never mind the alibis, baby.
This gets you to Rancocas.
1270
01:17:27,142 --> 01:17:29,838
I don't want any arguments, understand?
1271
01:17:30,411 --> 01:17:31,571
Hello.
1272
01:17:33,780 --> 01:17:37,238
- What's the matter, my dear?
- He's always in such a rush.
1273
01:17:37,318 --> 01:17:40,776
Father? Well, that's my good fortune.
The sooner the better.
1274
01:17:40,855 --> 01:17:43,619
Gentlemen, I have the honor
to announce our engagement.
1275
01:17:43,691 --> 01:17:45,818
Oh, good. Congratulations.
1276
01:17:47,862 --> 01:17:50,456
There, now, Miss Bragg, don't cry.
1277
01:17:50,530 --> 01:17:52,555
I hope you're doing
the right thing, Professor.
1278
01:17:52,633 --> 01:17:53,964
I know I am.
1279
01:17:54,034 --> 01:17:56,662
Why don't you go upstairs
and pack some things for my fiancee?
1280
01:17:56,736 --> 01:17:58,601
- All right.
- Thank you.
1281
01:17:59,472 --> 01:18:00,769
I want to be an usher.
I want to be an usher.
1282
01:18:00,840 --> 01:18:02,364
- We'll all be ushers.
- Yes.
1283
01:18:02,442 --> 01:18:03,807
One kisses the bride.
1284
01:18:03,877 --> 01:18:05,902
- Yeah, we'll all kiss the bride.
That's right.
1285
01:18:05,978 --> 01:18:07,275
May we, Frisbee?
1286
01:18:07,346 --> 01:18:09,576
Go right ahead, gentlemen.
1287
01:18:13,085 --> 01:18:14,416
Thank you.
1288
01:18:14,853 --> 01:18:17,515
You've made us very happy. Very happy.
1289
01:18:19,690 --> 01:18:25,151
We feel that you are marrying
all of us a little.
1290
01:18:25,229 --> 01:18:26,787
Yes, we all do.
1291
01:18:28,332 --> 01:18:31,824
We wish you all the happiness
in the world, my dear.
1292
01:18:31,903 --> 01:18:34,098
Yes, yes. Yes, indeed.
1293
01:18:45,982 --> 01:18:47,847
Well, if we're going
to get started this afternoon,
1294
01:18:47,918 --> 01:18:49,510
I'd better get my things together.
1295
01:19:04,400 --> 01:19:05,924
Kind of a cheesy picture of me, isn't it?
1296
01:19:06,001 --> 01:19:08,162
Now I know you better,
I'd say it's a little flattering.
1297
01:19:08,237 --> 01:19:09,795
- Check.
- Out of consideration
1298
01:19:09,872 --> 01:19:12,067
for Professor Frisbee, I'll let
you get your things together
1299
01:19:12,141 --> 01:19:14,541
- and get down the back stairs.
- And then you'll call the police?
1300
01:19:14,610 --> 01:19:17,602
No, that would be too humiliating
for Professor Frisbee.
1301
01:19:17,680 --> 01:19:19,045
Just get out and disappear.
1302
01:19:19,113 --> 01:19:21,547
I've already made other arrangements.
1303
01:19:21,616 --> 01:19:23,140
Don't worry.
I'm not marrying any professor.
1304
01:19:23,218 --> 01:19:24,708
- You're certainly not.
- The guy I'm getting
1305
01:19:24,786 --> 01:19:28,847
is going to keep me in diamonds
and mink coats, not bungalow aprons.
1306
01:19:28,923 --> 01:19:30,948
That's pretty good for a gal
who came up the hard way, huh?
1307
01:19:31,024 --> 01:19:33,618
- We'll have this room fumigated.
- You can do that after we're gone.
1308
01:19:33,695 --> 01:19:36,061
- You're not taking Professor Frisbee.
- I'm taking all of them.
1309
01:19:36,129 --> 01:19:37,926
- Oh, you are?
- Oh, no.
1310
01:19:37,998 --> 01:19:40,398
Let me pass.
You're forcing me to phone the police.
1311
01:19:40,468 --> 01:19:44,029
Look, cookie. Any spilling
that's to be done, I'll do, but not yet.
1312
01:19:44,103 --> 01:19:45,365
Not while it'll bug up everything.
1313
01:19:45,439 --> 01:19:47,168
If you think I'm letting you
take my professors...
1314
01:19:47,241 --> 01:19:50,005
Look at it this way, cookie.
The harm's been done.
1315
01:19:50,076 --> 01:19:53,739
Frizzy's going to wear his heart in a sling
whether he finds out sooner or later.
1316
01:19:53,812 --> 01:19:56,576
Here or in Jersey
doesn't make any difference to him.
1317
01:19:56,650 --> 01:19:58,948
Only in Jersey is a darned sight
better for me.
1318
01:19:59,018 --> 01:20:00,815
- Better for you indeed.
- Oh, no.
1319
01:20:00,887 --> 01:20:02,821
- Let me through that door.
- No.
1320
01:20:02,890 --> 01:20:04,448
Let me through that door, or I'll scream.
1321
01:20:04,524 --> 01:20:07,925
Oh, no, I can't have you screaming.
Sorry, cookie.
1322
01:20:33,351 --> 01:20:35,546
To be my lawful wedded wife,
for better or worse.
1323
01:20:35,619 --> 01:20:38,019
- What did you say?
- What?
1324
01:20:38,088 --> 01:20:40,955
Nothing. I was just rehearsing
the wedding ceremony.
1325
01:20:41,026 --> 01:20:43,517
To be my lawful wedded wife,
for better or worse,
1326
01:20:43,594 --> 01:20:44,959
for richer or poorer...
1327
01:20:45,030 --> 01:20:46,725
- Please, Frizzy.
- What?
1328
01:20:46,797 --> 01:20:48,094
Don't, please.
1329
01:20:48,165 --> 01:20:51,931
You're very nervous, darling, aren't you?
I know it's been a very exciting day.
1330
01:20:53,970 --> 01:20:55,870
Look out!
1331
01:21:00,209 --> 01:21:01,471
Frisbee!
1332
01:21:13,724 --> 01:21:16,386
Help! Help! Police!
1333
01:21:19,395 --> 01:21:21,124
Never mind, operator. Cancel it.
1334
01:21:21,197 --> 01:21:22,596
They must have left, Tony,
there's no answer.
1335
01:21:22,664 --> 01:21:24,154
They should have been here hours ago.
1336
01:21:24,232 --> 01:21:25,961
Not the way those old fogies
would be driving.
1337
01:21:26,035 --> 01:21:27,400
You know what's funny about people?
1338
01:21:27,470 --> 01:21:29,335
The older they get,
the more careful they are.
1339
01:21:29,404 --> 01:21:30,632
You'd think when a guy's
seen everything...
1340
01:21:33,041 --> 01:21:34,872
Hello. It's Honey.
1341
01:21:36,545 --> 01:21:38,672
Hello, Honey. Where are you?
1342
01:21:39,313 --> 01:21:42,646
Now, look, we're not down here for fun.
We're having a wedding.
1343
01:21:42,718 --> 01:21:44,151
They've had an accident.
1344
01:21:44,485 --> 01:21:48,319
Nothing serious.
It just shook the old boys up a little.
1345
01:21:48,389 --> 01:21:50,755
I couldn't get to a phone before.
1346
01:21:51,993 --> 01:21:55,326
I don't know.
Some little hotel near Kingston.
1347
01:21:55,396 --> 01:21:57,364
Twin Oaks Inn it's called.
1348
01:21:58,164 --> 01:21:59,324
Yeah.
1349
01:22:00,801 --> 01:22:03,292
Sure, Tony, there's a midnight bus.
I can grab that.
1350
01:22:03,370 --> 01:22:05,133
Midnight bus. What are you talking about?
1351
01:22:05,205 --> 01:22:09,232
I'll have Monte and Joe pick you up
in 40 minutes. Yeah, tonight.
1352
01:22:09,309 --> 01:22:10,799
I've got a Justice of the Peace waiting.
1353
01:22:10,878 --> 01:22:13,142
There'll be a Justice of the Peace
tomorrow.
1354
01:22:13,214 --> 01:22:15,876
Why not do this thing right?
1355
01:22:15,949 --> 01:22:19,043
I want to wait until the old boys
have gone to bed.
1356
01:22:19,119 --> 01:22:21,349
I can't walk out on them cold.
1357
01:22:21,620 --> 01:22:23,918
Maybe you'd like to sit down
and knit them seven little sweaters
1358
01:22:23,989 --> 01:22:25,286
to remember you by...
1359
01:22:25,357 --> 01:22:28,554
I've told you how it's going to be.
Now stop barking orders.
1360
01:22:28,628 --> 01:22:29,890
So long.
1361
01:22:31,864 --> 01:22:33,491
Get the car ready.
1362
01:22:39,671 --> 01:22:41,434
Yes...
1363
01:22:41,506 --> 01:22:43,599
ELFINl: I can prove to you
by the laws of relativity
1364
01:22:43,676 --> 01:22:45,906
that it wasn't Frisbee
that ran into the sign post...
1365
01:22:45,977 --> 01:22:47,945
No?
- ... but that it was the sign post that ran...
1366
01:22:48,012 --> 01:22:49,639
Hello.
1367
01:22:49,714 --> 01:22:52,080
That's all right. Sit down. Go ahead.
1368
01:22:52,149 --> 01:22:55,016
But that it was the signpost
that ran into Frisbee.
1369
01:22:55,085 --> 01:22:56,677
Now let me explain.
1370
01:22:56,754 --> 01:23:00,713
If you do, by the same law,
your head will run into this bottle.
1371
01:23:00,791 --> 01:23:02,281
But before you do, I'd like a drink.
1372
01:23:02,359 --> 01:23:03,986
- All right.
- Yes, a drink.
1373
01:23:04,061 --> 01:23:05,619
And then, I think I'll hit the hay.
1374
01:23:05,695 --> 01:23:06,684
- Get some sleep.
- Oh, why?
1375
01:23:06,762 --> 01:23:08,491
Why? The evening is yet young.
1376
01:23:08,564 --> 01:23:09,690
Stay with us.
1377
01:23:09,765 --> 01:23:12,666
Oh, no, I don't belong here.
This is a bachelor dinner.
1378
01:23:12,736 --> 01:23:13,998
ELFINl: Well, but this is different.
1379
01:23:14,071 --> 01:23:15,629
No. That's the law.
1380
01:23:15,705 --> 01:23:18,503
We've heard from the garage.
The car will be ready in the morning.
1381
01:23:18,575 --> 01:23:20,975
Perhaps it will stay together long enough
for us to get to Rancocas.
1382
01:23:21,043 --> 01:23:22,908
Yes, we'll get an early start.
1383
01:23:22,978 --> 01:23:28,644
After issuing an urgent appeal
to all signposts not to charge at us.
1384
01:23:28,718 --> 01:23:31,585
What time shall we awaken you?
Around 7:30?
1385
01:23:32,621 --> 01:23:34,589
I'll be awake all right.
1386
01:23:36,624 --> 01:23:37,955
Well, kids,
1387
01:23:39,694 --> 01:23:41,218
here's to you.
1388
01:23:41,662 --> 01:23:42,959
ELFINl: Wassail.
1389
01:23:50,340 --> 01:23:51,932
Oh, Frizzy, I...
1390
01:23:54,844 --> 01:23:58,302
You know, you boys still have time
to warn him.
1391
01:23:58,381 --> 01:24:00,941
A man is a goof to marry any woman.
1392
01:24:01,718 --> 01:24:03,049
Just let them try and warn me.
1393
01:24:03,120 --> 01:24:06,385
He'll have to console us that
there aren't six more just like you.
1394
01:24:06,455 --> 01:24:09,356
- One for each of us.
- Of assorted ages, of course.
1395
01:24:09,425 --> 01:24:11,052
Naturally.
1396
01:24:11,127 --> 01:24:14,290
I'd like to keep you all in a locket always.
1397
01:24:14,830 --> 01:24:19,267
Seven squirrelly cherubs
right out of this world.
1398
01:24:21,770 --> 01:24:23,704
- Goodbye, kids.
- Goodbye.
1399
01:24:23,773 --> 01:24:26,640
Did you hear that, Frisbee?
I'm a squirrelly cherub.
1400
01:24:53,066 --> 01:24:55,091
ELFINl: Come now, Gerkikoff.
I can't understand...
1401
01:24:55,169 --> 01:24:56,431
Why? Because I know I'm right.
1402
01:24:56,503 --> 01:25:02,601
You're all speaking very glibly on a subject
about which you know practically nothing.
1403
01:25:02,676 --> 01:25:05,873
Frisbee, if you feel the need
of any guidance,
1404
01:25:05,945 --> 01:25:08,004
may I suggest that you turn to me?
1405
01:25:08,079 --> 01:25:09,910
That's right.
You were married once, weren't you?
1406
01:25:09,982 --> 01:25:13,247
Genevieve has been dead for some years,
1407
01:25:13,319 --> 01:25:17,415
but I have relived every moment
of our happiness so many times.
1408
01:25:17,490 --> 01:25:19,822
My experience is entirely at your disposal.
1409
01:25:19,891 --> 01:25:21,552
I'm very much obliged to you, Oddly,
1410
01:25:21,626 --> 01:25:24,151
- but I feel that this...
- Please, please, Frisbee.
1411
01:25:24,228 --> 01:25:28,665
Think of me as an older brother or father
anxious to send you off properly.
1412
01:25:28,733 --> 01:25:31,133
- ELFINl: Well, so are we all.
- Yes, yes.
1413
01:25:31,204 --> 01:25:36,301
Tenderness. That is what I advocate.
Tenderness and patience.
1414
01:25:36,374 --> 01:25:41,141
Genevieve was a pianist.
And we both dabbled at composing.
1415
01:25:41,212 --> 01:25:45,546
After our wedding ceremony,
we went straight to the Salzburg Festival.
1416
01:25:45,617 --> 01:25:49,144
We spent there a beautiful week,
filled with promise,
1417
01:25:50,855 --> 01:25:53,824
and returned home with three
excellent compositions for the piano
1418
01:25:53,890 --> 01:25:57,826
and a short nocturne for flute,
two horns, strings, and oboe.
1419
01:25:59,129 --> 01:26:05,932
Me, I remember for three months,
every time I bade her good night,
1420
01:26:06,002 --> 01:26:12,635
I'd kiss the palm of her little hand,
astonished at my own boldness.
1421
01:26:12,708 --> 01:26:17,668
Genevieve was a blond.
Here's a lock of her hair.
1422
01:26:19,381 --> 01:26:21,178
Well, it's lovely, Oddly.
1423
01:26:21,249 --> 01:26:24,514
I remember it used to shine a great deal.
1424
01:26:24,586 --> 01:26:27,248
There was a song at that time
everyone sang.
1425
01:26:27,321 --> 01:26:30,347
I always enjoyed listening to it.
1426
01:26:35,196 --> 01:26:36,527
That's it.
1427
01:26:38,901 --> 01:26:40,892
Please sing it all.
1428
01:26:40,968 --> 01:26:43,801
Oh Genevieve
1429
01:26:43,871 --> 01:26:45,133
Does anyone else know it?
1430
01:26:45,207 --> 01:26:48,040
Sweet Genevieve
1431
01:26:48,110 --> 01:26:51,341
The days may come
1432
01:26:51,412 --> 01:26:54,074
The days may go
1433
01:26:54,882 --> 01:27:01,014
But still the hands of memory weave
1434
01:27:02,188 --> 01:27:05,589
The blissfuI dreams
1435
01:27:05,659 --> 01:27:09,959
Of long ago
1436
01:27:10,029 --> 01:27:11,223
Please go on.
1437
01:27:11,297 --> 01:27:14,926
Oh Genevieve
1438
01:27:15,001 --> 01:27:17,060
Sweet Genevieve
1439
01:27:17,136 --> 01:27:19,070
Thank you. Thank you so much.
1440
01:27:19,138 --> 01:27:22,505
The days may come
1441
01:27:22,573 --> 01:27:26,339
The days may go
1442
01:27:26,411 --> 01:27:29,847
But still the hands
1443
01:27:29,914 --> 01:27:33,782
Of memory weave
1444
01:27:34,353 --> 01:27:38,221
The blissfuI dreams
1445
01:27:38,289 --> 01:27:42,658
Of long ago
1446
01:27:54,272 --> 01:27:56,672
It's good, it's good, good, good.
1447
01:28:06,817 --> 01:28:08,842
What did you make out
of what Oddly was saying?
1448
01:28:08,919 --> 01:28:10,546
Ask him, he's the expert.
1449
01:28:10,620 --> 01:28:11,712
What's his bungalow number?
1450
01:28:11,787 --> 01:28:13,152
Number six.
1451
01:28:35,210 --> 01:28:36,837
Oddly!
1452
01:28:36,911 --> 01:28:40,779
Oddly, I'm sorry,
but I've got to talk this thing out.
1453
01:28:40,849 --> 01:28:43,113
I'm all confused.
1454
01:28:43,183 --> 01:28:47,279
I'm glad we're here in the dark
because this is extremely personal.
1455
01:28:48,023 --> 01:28:50,583
What you said before about tenderness,
1456
01:28:50,658 --> 01:28:53,320
I mean, about your honeymoon.
1457
01:28:53,395 --> 01:28:56,922
Sounds like a beautiful
and aesthetic relationship.
1458
01:28:57,432 --> 01:29:00,560
But I'm afraid I don't trust myself.
1459
01:29:01,603 --> 01:29:04,663
I'm afraid I'm a lot bolder than you are.
1460
01:29:04,739 --> 01:29:07,765
Oddly, do you think
that would ruin everything?
1461
01:29:08,809 --> 01:29:11,243
Why, the very idea that I should
have to spend my honeymoon
1462
01:29:11,310 --> 01:29:14,279
watching her compose
nocturnes or sonatas.
1463
01:29:15,815 --> 01:29:19,046
I'm a man in love.
It's the first time in my life.
1464
01:29:21,220 --> 01:29:25,247
I think of her every waking moment.
I want to take her in my arms.
1465
01:29:25,992 --> 01:29:31,794
If this marriage should have been delayed,
that is, should be delayed,
1466
01:29:31,863 --> 01:29:33,455
I mean, could...
1467
01:29:34,299 --> 01:29:37,200
Listen to me, Oddly, I'm all mixed up.
1468
01:29:37,269 --> 01:29:40,932
Can a man like that keep his mind
on Johann Sebastian Bach?
1469
01:29:42,406 --> 01:29:43,896
Oh, Frizzy.
1470
01:29:47,045 --> 01:29:49,775
What? I'm terribly sorry.
1471
01:29:49,847 --> 01:29:52,941
I don't know how I could have
made such a mistake
1472
01:29:53,017 --> 01:29:54,814
to say such things to a woman.
1473
01:29:54,885 --> 01:29:56,512
Don't apologize.
1474
01:29:57,788 --> 01:30:00,518
ELFINl: Frisbee?
Frisbee?
1475
01:30:01,927 --> 01:30:04,259
- Someone's calling me.
- Are they?
1476
01:30:05,863 --> 01:30:07,797
ELFINl: Frisbee, where are you?
1477
01:30:08,866 --> 01:30:10,857
Maybe it's just as well.
1478
01:30:10,934 --> 01:30:12,492
Oh, Frisbee!
1479
01:30:14,170 --> 01:30:15,660
I'll be back.
1480
01:30:28,183 --> 01:30:29,844
- Did you call me?
- Yes, Frisbee, we did.
1481
01:30:29,918 --> 01:30:32,409
- Frisbee, something came up.
- Oh, really, what is it?
1482
01:30:32,488 --> 01:30:35,548
- Well, you see, as we were sitting...
- Yes.
1483
01:30:35,624 --> 01:30:36,716
You better tell him.
1484
01:30:36,792 --> 01:30:38,657
No, no, I think he better tell him.
1485
01:30:38,727 --> 01:30:41,525
- Who?
- Well, you see, there's a gentleman...
1486
01:30:41,597 --> 01:30:44,862
I mean, a man is...
Four men...
1487
01:30:44,932 --> 01:30:46,524
- He will tell you.
- Yeah, he'll tell you.
1488
01:30:46,601 --> 01:30:47,761
I don't understand.
1489
01:30:47,836 --> 01:30:50,304
ELFINl: Well, come right inside,
and you'll understand.
1490
01:30:54,775 --> 01:30:56,402
How do you do?
1491
01:30:56,477 --> 01:30:59,776
- So, you're the bridegroom?
- Yes, this is Professor Frisbee.
1492
01:30:59,846 --> 01:31:02,337
- Hiya, Hobart?
- How do you do?
1493
01:31:02,415 --> 01:31:04,349
I thought you'd look like
the rest of these squats,
1494
01:31:04,419 --> 01:31:06,546
except for a beard with pea soup in it.
1495
01:31:06,621 --> 01:31:10,352
Squat? Well, what about me
evoked this interest on your part?
1496
01:31:10,423 --> 01:31:12,550
Sounds like it's engraved, don't it?
1497
01:31:12,626 --> 01:31:13,786
What's all this about?
1498
01:31:13,860 --> 01:31:15,350
- It's about Miss Honey.
- Honey?
1499
01:31:15,428 --> 01:31:18,693
- Perhaps if we talked to him...
- No, we've had enough detours already.
1500
01:31:18,767 --> 01:31:22,066
Maybe you recognize the voice, Hobart,
or don't you?
1501
01:31:22,703 --> 01:31:24,261
How's the sinus?
1502
01:31:26,706 --> 01:31:29,698
Are you her father?
Well, how do you do, Mr...
1503
01:31:31,745 --> 01:31:33,804
You're getting warm. I'm her Daddy.
1504
01:31:34,981 --> 01:31:36,005
Shut up.
1505
01:31:36,082 --> 01:31:38,050
I believe I'm entitled to some clarification.
1506
01:31:38,118 --> 01:31:39,745
I would think so.
1507
01:31:41,121 --> 01:31:42,383
So am I.
1508
01:31:49,028 --> 01:31:50,290
Lipstick.
1509
01:31:52,865 --> 01:31:55,197
Here. Here. Here. You can't do that.
1510
01:31:55,267 --> 01:31:57,132
- No! No!
- Take it easy.
1511
01:32:00,070 --> 01:32:03,062
I was kind of counting on Honey
to tell you the score.
1512
01:32:03,141 --> 01:32:06,076
The trouble with her is she's okay giving
out with the wise cracks and twists,
1513
01:32:06,144 --> 01:32:09,511
but when it comes to leveling off,
she gets chicken.
1514
01:32:09,581 --> 01:32:12,277
He's trying to tell us our wedding trip
was nothing but a vast lie.
1515
01:32:12,350 --> 01:32:14,614
A vast lie. Don't you believe that, Hobart.
1516
01:32:14,686 --> 01:32:17,450
There's going to be a wedding.
Honey's going to be the bride,
1517
01:32:17,521 --> 01:32:20,149
only I'm going to be the bridegroom.
1518
01:32:20,225 --> 01:32:21,624
Shake it off.
1519
01:32:22,327 --> 01:32:25,819
I'm very obliged to you guys
for delivering a hot cargo.
1520
01:32:27,831 --> 01:32:29,799
She had to be handled
with a lot of care.
1521
01:32:29,865 --> 01:32:33,028
Frisbee, it seems that your bride to be...
1522
01:32:33,102 --> 01:32:35,730
His bride? That's a laugh.
1523
01:32:35,806 --> 01:32:39,867
It seems that Miss Honey has used us
to circumvent the police.
1524
01:32:39,977 --> 01:32:41,945
I don't believe it.
1525
01:32:42,011 --> 01:32:43,774
Professor, you thought
she was going to marry you,
1526
01:32:43,846 --> 01:32:46,212
with your 3,000, what is it, a year?
1527
01:32:46,282 --> 01:32:49,115
She spends that much
having her toenails painted.
1528
01:32:49,185 --> 01:32:52,279
She sulks if she has to wear
last year's ermine.
1529
01:32:55,624 --> 01:32:58,024
He don't believe it. Look at him.
1530
01:32:58,593 --> 01:33:02,620
All right, Professor, suppose
you go tell Honey daddy's here.
1531
01:33:06,101 --> 01:33:07,898
Tony Crow's the name.
1532
01:33:18,879 --> 01:33:20,972
Professor Frisbee. Professor.
1533
01:33:21,049 --> 01:33:23,244
- Why, Miss Bragg.
- I hope we're not too late.
1534
01:33:23,317 --> 01:33:24,648
Have you married that girl?
1535
01:33:24,719 --> 01:33:27,916
You know, she knocked me out
nine hours in a closet.
1536
01:33:27,988 --> 01:33:29,319
Something told me all along...
1537
01:33:29,389 --> 01:33:31,789
Hold the phone, sister, hold the phone.
1538
01:33:31,858 --> 01:33:33,792
We traced you through your accident.
1539
01:33:33,860 --> 01:33:36,920
There's a warrant from the DA's office
for that girlfriend of Tony Crow's.
1540
01:33:36,996 --> 01:33:38,429
Where is she?
1541
01:33:57,683 --> 01:33:59,378
There's a Mr. Crow waiting for you.
1542
01:33:59,451 --> 01:34:00,543
Yeah.
1543
01:34:02,019 --> 01:34:05,284
The situation has been explained to me
in simple terms.
1544
01:34:05,357 --> 01:34:07,450
You needn't worry about the police.
I just spoke to them,
1545
01:34:07,526 --> 01:34:10,461
told them you had left an hour ago,
probably were in Trenton by now.
1546
01:34:10,527 --> 01:34:11,960
Thanks, Frizzy.
1547
01:34:12,029 --> 01:34:13,587
Thanks for what?
1548
01:34:13,664 --> 01:34:17,964
You've given us a fine course in
the theory and practice of being a sucker.
1549
01:34:18,034 --> 01:34:19,501
Perhaps it wasn't quite worthy of you,
1550
01:34:19,569 --> 01:34:22,800
choosing us as the subjects
of your demonstration.
1551
01:34:22,872 --> 01:34:24,737
Seven pushovers.
1552
01:34:26,009 --> 01:34:28,603
Like shooting fish in a barrel.
1553
01:34:28,679 --> 01:34:32,615
I didn't mean for you to get it this way.
Right in the face.
1554
01:34:34,717 --> 01:34:37,379
I've been trying to write you a letter.
1555
01:34:39,089 --> 01:34:41,023
Here are all my excuses.
1556
01:34:42,892 --> 01:34:44,757
The handwriting of a...
1557
01:34:46,161 --> 01:34:48,425
What would be your word for it?
1558
01:34:52,468 --> 01:34:53,958
A tramp?
1559
01:35:00,945 --> 01:35:02,173
Good morning, Miss Bragg.
1560
01:35:02,246 --> 01:35:03,736
- Good morning, gentlemen.
Good morning.
1561
01:35:03,813 --> 01:35:05,542
How about some nice hot breakfast?
1562
01:35:05,616 --> 01:35:06,605
- No, thank you.
- Not for me.
1563
01:35:06,684 --> 01:35:08,151
I've made Parker House rolls.
1564
01:35:08,219 --> 01:35:09,550
- ELFINl: I don't care for any.
- No, thanks.
1565
01:35:09,620 --> 01:35:12,748
Professor Oddly, you may have
some jam or apple butter.
1566
01:35:12,823 --> 01:35:15,155
I don't think so, Miss Bragg. Thank you.
1567
01:35:15,225 --> 01:35:17,716
What? Nobody wants any breakfast?
1568
01:35:18,561 --> 01:35:20,927
Miss Bragg, would you mind
very much, please...
1569
01:35:20,997 --> 01:35:22,157
Would you mind leaving us?
1570
01:35:22,232 --> 01:35:23,426
Well!
1571
01:35:24,734 --> 01:35:27,999
Flying Schmo's last
1572
01:35:28,338 --> 01:35:31,933
Forty lengths behind
1573
01:35:35,979 --> 01:35:37,742
Now, gentlemen, before
we attempt to go back to work,
1574
01:35:37,814 --> 01:35:40,112
I should like to say a few words.
1575
01:35:40,183 --> 01:35:42,674
You've all been very kind and very tactful.
1576
01:35:42,751 --> 01:35:44,616
Overly tactful, if I may say so.
1577
01:35:44,686 --> 01:35:47,246
Now, let's face it,
I made an ass of myself and I know it.
1578
01:35:47,321 --> 01:35:49,516
Oh, well, we all did, Frisbee.
1579
01:35:49,590 --> 01:35:51,251
Yes, but I was the lead donkey.
1580
01:35:51,326 --> 01:35:53,487
- Good morning.
Good morning.
1581
01:35:53,561 --> 01:35:56,689
Well, you've had quite an eventful night
last night, gentlemen.
1582
01:35:56,765 --> 01:35:58,596
At least, so we see by the papers.
1583
01:35:58,667 --> 01:36:00,965
It's cost the estate some $300,000
1584
01:36:01,034 --> 01:36:03,901
to have its name spread across
every tabloid in New York.
1585
01:36:03,970 --> 01:36:06,837
"Night club cutie hides out
in Totten Foundation. "
1586
01:36:06,908 --> 01:36:08,603
- And this one.
- Yes.
1587
01:36:08,676 --> 01:36:10,974
"Professor smuggles Honey
across state line. "
1588
01:36:11,045 --> 01:36:12,706
A Honey smuggler.
1589
01:36:12,779 --> 01:36:14,110
I'm sorry, Miss Totten.
1590
01:36:14,181 --> 01:36:17,617
For the aforesaid reasons, Miss Totten
has decided to discontinue this project.
1591
01:36:17,683 --> 01:36:18,707
What?
1592
01:36:18,784 --> 01:36:22,880
Don't do that.
One word, Miss Totten.
1593
01:36:22,956 --> 01:36:26,153
In your very understandable excitement,
a great injustice is being done.
1594
01:36:26,225 --> 01:36:27,385
I am the guilty one and I accept my...
1595
01:36:27,460 --> 01:36:28,984
- We are all in this together.
- ... dishonorable discharge
1596
01:36:29,061 --> 01:36:30,085
without any protest,
1597
01:36:30,161 --> 01:36:32,755
but I don't believe the others should be
made to suffer for my misconduct.
1598
01:36:33,933 --> 01:36:35,366
My goodness, what's that?
1599
01:36:35,433 --> 01:36:36,923
What happened?
1600
01:36:38,138 --> 01:36:41,107
- Good morning, teachers.
- Yeah, good morning.
1601
01:36:41,508 --> 01:36:44,705
- Now everybody line up over there.
- Just like for a photograph.
1602
01:36:44,777 --> 01:36:47,473
With you, Hobart, in the foreground.
1603
01:36:47,545 --> 01:36:48,807
Come on, let's get going.
1604
01:36:48,881 --> 01:36:50,508
Get around. Get around. Go on.
1605
01:36:50,582 --> 01:36:52,516
- Faster. Faster.
- Keep moving.
1606
01:36:52,585 --> 01:36:54,450
Come on. Hurry up!
1607
01:36:54,520 --> 01:36:59,048
All right now. Sit down,
everybody. Make yourself comfortable.
1608
01:36:59,123 --> 01:37:00,784
- Hey, Louie?
- Yeah.
1609
01:37:00,859 --> 01:37:03,293
Phone the boss and tell him
we got everything in cold storage.
1610
01:37:03,994 --> 01:37:05,484
How much longer
are we going to argue this thing?
1611
01:37:05,562 --> 01:37:08,998
- Now, come on, Honey...
- I said no, and no is no.
1612
01:37:09,067 --> 01:37:13,265
Listen, Honey, when I was nine years old,
I fell in love with my piano teacher.
1613
01:37:13,337 --> 01:37:14,361
She played classical.
1614
01:37:14,438 --> 01:37:16,998
- Now, you're not nine years old.
- I love him.
1615
01:37:17,074 --> 01:37:19,304
- She loves him.
- Yes, I love him.
1616
01:37:19,375 --> 01:37:22,606
I love those Hick shirts he wears
with the boiled collars.
1617
01:37:22,679 --> 01:37:25,614
And the way he always has
his coat buttoned wrong.
1618
01:37:25,681 --> 01:37:28,081
He looks like a giraffe and I love him.
1619
01:37:28,150 --> 01:37:32,382
I love him because he's a sort of a guy
that gets drunk on a glass of buttermilk,
1620
01:37:32,455 --> 01:37:35,822
and I love the way he blushes
right up over his ears.
1621
01:37:36,491 --> 01:37:40,518
I love him because
he doesn't know how to kiss. A jerk.
1622
01:37:41,631 --> 01:37:44,498
I love him, Tony,
that's what I'm trying to tell you.
1623
01:37:44,565 --> 01:37:47,557
I'll never see him again,
but I'm not gonna marry you.
1624
01:37:47,636 --> 01:37:50,332
Even if you fill me full of lead,
like you did your friend, Ernie Hart.
1625
01:37:51,472 --> 01:37:52,496
I told you, I was framed.
1626
01:37:52,574 --> 01:37:54,405
I'm beginning to have
my own ideas about that.
1627
01:37:54,476 --> 01:37:57,502
Hello. Yeah. Okay.
1628
01:37:59,114 --> 01:38:02,345
Louie just phoned, boss.
They got them on ice.
1629
01:38:02,416 --> 01:38:05,249
Well, this kind of changes things.
Come on, baby, let's go.
1630
01:38:05,319 --> 01:38:07,514
- Go where?
- Back to town.
1631
01:38:07,587 --> 01:38:08,918
What is this?
1632
01:38:08,990 --> 01:38:12,084
Well, let's call it
a sort of a shotgun wedding.
1633
01:38:12,159 --> 01:38:13,820
Say, what are you trying to pull?
1634
01:38:13,894 --> 01:38:15,987
Baby, you've been floating around
on a pink cloud.
1635
01:38:16,062 --> 01:38:18,530
I want you to take a good look
at your friend Frizzy,
1636
01:38:18,598 --> 01:38:21,965
then maybe you'll come back down
to Earth. Come on, let's go.
1637
01:38:26,005 --> 01:38:27,029
What's the set up?
1638
01:38:27,106 --> 01:38:31,099
Joe and Monte has got them in there.
This room over here is empty.
1639
01:38:32,911 --> 01:38:34,378
You wait here.
1640
01:38:37,482 --> 01:38:38,949
Hiya, boss.
1641
01:38:39,885 --> 01:38:42,012
Everything is under control.
1642
01:38:42,555 --> 01:38:45,023
Where'd you get all the people?
I thought there were only seven of them.
1643
01:38:45,091 --> 01:38:48,185
They wandered in.
Said they was musicians.
1644
01:38:48,260 --> 01:38:49,591
Yeah, I recognize them.
1645
01:38:49,661 --> 01:38:51,595
What are hepcats doing
in a place like this?
1646
01:38:51,662 --> 01:38:55,291
Louie grabbed them.
- They said they was here to play music.
1647
01:38:58,403 --> 01:38:59,836
Hello, Hobart.
1648
01:38:59,906 --> 01:39:02,067
How... How do you do?
1649
01:39:03,642 --> 01:39:05,405
Okay. Hold them here.
1650
01:39:06,611 --> 01:39:10,547
Come on in and take a look, baby.
Maybe you'll change your mind.
1651
01:39:21,192 --> 01:39:22,352
Well?
1652
01:39:26,330 --> 01:39:28,924
We'll be in the room across the hall.
1653
01:39:32,369 --> 01:39:34,428
Can we make a deal now, baby?
1654
01:39:34,503 --> 01:39:37,028
Sure we can, brother rat.
1655
01:39:37,107 --> 01:39:40,008
Adams is gonna get a guy to marry us.
Bring him in as soon as they get here.
1656
01:39:41,910 --> 01:39:45,209
Knock off that walking, Hobart.
You make me nervous.
1657
01:39:45,849 --> 01:39:48,613
Hobart, will you sit down?
1658
01:39:48,684 --> 01:39:50,914
- I beg your pardon.
- Sit down.
1659
01:39:53,222 --> 01:39:57,249
There now, all we have to do
is wait for the all-clear signal.
1660
01:39:57,326 --> 01:40:00,523
We'll dismiss the class
right after the ceremony.
1661
01:40:01,063 --> 01:40:02,553
Did you say "right after the ceremony?"
1662
01:40:02,631 --> 01:40:04,622
That's what the man said.
He said that.
1663
01:40:04,700 --> 01:40:05,792
You can hear, can't you?
1664
01:40:05,868 --> 01:40:07,699
Do you mean they're not married yet?
1665
01:40:07,769 --> 01:40:09,828
Why do you think
we're fooling around with these?
1666
01:40:09,905 --> 01:40:11,372
I don't know, why?
1667
01:40:11,440 --> 01:40:15,069
A little trouble with Honey's vocal chords.
She wouldn't say yes.
1668
01:40:15,143 --> 01:40:17,373
"Wouldn't say yes. "
1669
01:40:17,445 --> 01:40:20,437
Gentlemen, I've been wrong.
This visit is no longer a mystery.
1670
01:40:20,515 --> 01:40:22,312
Apparently it requires
those guns leveled on us
1671
01:40:22,383 --> 01:40:23,975
to force Miss Honey to marry Mr. Crow.
1672
01:40:24,051 --> 01:40:25,075
ELFINl: You mean to say...
Yes, I do.
1673
01:40:25,153 --> 01:40:26,711
That explains everything.
I knew it.
1674
01:40:26,788 --> 01:40:28,187
I believe she loves me.
She really loves me.
1675
01:40:28,255 --> 01:40:29,517
No question about it.
1676
01:40:29,589 --> 01:40:32,217
Hey! Hey!
1677
01:40:33,093 --> 01:40:34,958
She loves you, she loves you not.
So what?
1678
01:40:35,028 --> 01:40:36,893
Well, don't you see?
I couldn't possibly permit Miss Honey
1679
01:40:36,962 --> 01:40:38,452
to marry Mr. Crow
under these circumstances.
1680
01:40:38,532 --> 01:40:40,727
- Don't you agree, gentlemen?
- Absolutely.
1681
01:40:40,801 --> 01:40:41,790
Shut up!
1682
01:40:43,269 --> 01:40:45,169
Now sit down. All of you. Go on.
1683
01:40:45,237 --> 01:40:47,501
- Just a minute. We...
- Sit down!
1684
01:40:52,544 --> 01:40:53,806
Hobart.
1685
01:41:01,753 --> 01:41:05,154
Here you are, Tony.
He can't hear any, but he can marry you.
1686
01:41:05,223 --> 01:41:08,454
Hello. I'm the groom and that's the bride.
Get going.
1687
01:41:08,526 --> 01:41:10,153
I can't hear you.
1688
01:41:10,662 --> 01:41:13,995
- I said I'm the groom...
- Too loud.
1689
01:41:14,065 --> 01:41:16,033
I'm the groom and that's the bride.
1690
01:41:16,101 --> 01:41:17,466
Pleased to meet you, ma'am.
1691
01:41:17,534 --> 01:41:19,661
- Hello.
- And you, too, sir.
1692
01:41:19,738 --> 01:41:21,103
I presume you have a license?
1693
01:41:21,171 --> 01:41:22,968
Oh, yeah. Here it is.
1694
01:41:24,308 --> 01:41:25,935
I must have lost my glasses.
1695
01:41:26,010 --> 01:41:27,102
This is gonna be great.
1696
01:41:27,178 --> 01:41:29,703
Sure. The best part of it is, he's so
near-sighted, he can't recognize us.
1697
01:41:29,780 --> 01:41:30,804
I've got them right here.
1698
01:41:31,348 --> 01:41:33,976
They don't look so big now,
them big musical brains, huh?
1699
01:41:34,050 --> 01:41:35,915
Not to me, they don't.
1700
01:41:36,753 --> 01:41:39,119
You gentlemen think you're big
because you have firearms,
1701
01:41:39,188 --> 01:41:41,918
because you know how to load them
and pull the trigger.
1702
01:41:41,992 --> 01:41:44,051
It would be very interesting
to teach you the contrary,
1703
01:41:44,127 --> 01:41:45,992
- wouldn't it, gentlemen?
- Button it up, understand?
1704
01:41:46,062 --> 01:41:47,962
Beg your pardon, gentlemen,
we hate to bother you again.
1705
01:41:48,030 --> 01:41:50,294
- Well, what you say, Hamp?
- What you say, Satch?
1706
01:41:50,365 --> 01:41:52,094
- Bubbles.
- Excuse us, Professor.
1707
01:41:52,167 --> 01:41:53,259
We got some more questions.
1708
01:41:53,335 --> 01:41:54,825
Maybe you could help us answer.
1709
01:41:54,903 --> 01:41:58,236
The first question is, "How did music
secure a great military victory?"
1710
01:41:58,306 --> 01:42:00,467
We couldn't see what music had to do
with winning a battle.
1711
01:42:00,542 --> 01:42:02,066
What you all doing,
having a meeting here or something?
1712
01:42:02,143 --> 01:42:04,373
- What's going on?
- More like a wake, maybe.
1713
01:42:04,445 --> 01:42:06,106
- Excuse us.
- Never mind. Sit down.
1714
01:42:06,180 --> 01:42:08,410
We got a nice lodge seat for you
right in the front row.
1715
01:42:08,482 --> 01:42:10,609
Well, I got over here first.
1716
01:42:26,935 --> 01:42:28,493
Mister...
1717
01:42:28,570 --> 01:42:30,504
Just call me Joe.
1718
01:42:30,572 --> 01:42:32,665
Mr. Joe, do you know anything
about music?
1719
01:42:32,741 --> 01:42:34,766
It's not one of my best points.
1720
01:42:34,842 --> 01:42:39,711
I never went in for that kind of stuff,
at least not very much.
1721
01:42:39,780 --> 01:42:42,749
Yes, well there was a question
put to the assemblage a little while ago,
1722
01:42:42,817 --> 01:42:43,943
which I would like very much to answer.
1723
01:42:44,051 --> 01:42:46,076
You don't mind if we talk, do you?
1724
01:42:46,153 --> 01:42:47,916
Just keep it funny.
1725
01:42:50,790 --> 01:42:52,883
Your question was
about music winning a battle.
1726
01:42:52,959 --> 01:42:55,951
- We'd just as soon skip it.
- No, no, no. It's a very interesting subject.
1727
01:42:56,028 --> 01:42:58,258
I believe the correct answer
would be The Battle of Jericho
1728
01:42:58,331 --> 01:43:01,926
in which music played a vital part.
A very vital part.
1729
01:43:02,001 --> 01:43:03,332
That ain't funny, Professor.
1730
01:43:03,402 --> 01:43:06,860
Well, I'm hoping it will be
in just a moment.
1731
01:43:06,939 --> 01:43:09,373
Are you gentlemen familiar
with The Battle of Jericho?
1732
01:43:09,441 --> 01:43:10,999
Yes, sure.
- Would you mind singing
1733
01:43:11,075 --> 01:43:14,374
- a few phrases to musicians, please?
- Sure.
1734
01:43:14,446 --> 01:43:17,210
Now, I'd like you to pay particular
attention to the meaning of the words.
1735
01:43:17,281 --> 01:43:18,509
All right, gentlemen. Please.
1736
01:43:18,583 --> 01:43:20,710
The meaning of the words.
1737
01:43:20,786 --> 01:43:23,277
Well Joshua fit the battle around Jericho
1738
01:43:23,354 --> 01:43:25,754
Around Jericho
Around Jericho
1739
01:43:25,823 --> 01:43:28,121
Joshua fit the battle around Jericho
1740
01:43:28,193 --> 01:43:30,093
And the walls come tumbling down
1741
01:43:30,162 --> 01:43:33,029
God knows then
Joshua fit the battle around Jericho
1742
01:43:33,097 --> 01:43:35,395
Around Jericho
Around Jericho
1743
01:43:35,466 --> 01:43:37,661
Yes, Joshua fit the battle around Jericho
1744
01:43:37,734 --> 01:43:40,100
And the walls come tumbling down
1745
01:43:40,170 --> 01:43:42,661
Good morning, sister Mary
1746
01:43:42,740 --> 01:43:45,140
Good morning, brother John
1747
01:43:45,208 --> 01:43:47,369
I just want to stop and tell you
1748
01:43:47,444 --> 01:43:49,810
Just how I came along
1749
01:43:49,880 --> 01:43:52,280
You've heard about good old Joshua
1750
01:43:52,349 --> 01:43:54,613
Well, he was the son of none
1751
01:43:54,684 --> 01:43:56,879
And he never stopped his working
1752
01:43:56,952 --> 01:43:59,853
Well, untiI his work was done
1753
01:43:59,923 --> 01:44:02,551
Joshua fit the battle around Jericho
Around Jericho
1754
01:44:02,625 --> 01:44:05,185
Hey! Break it up.
We don't want any whispering.
1755
01:44:05,261 --> 01:44:07,786
Well, I believe we've gone far enough,
1756
01:44:07,863 --> 01:44:09,490
and we all understand
the answer to our problem.
1757
01:44:09,565 --> 01:44:10,998
- Don't we, gentlemen?
Yes, yes, indeed.
1758
01:44:11,065 --> 01:44:12,657
Now, go on, get to it.
What do you want to do?
1759
01:44:12,735 --> 01:44:14,930
Well, I...
We would like to try a little demonstration
1760
01:44:15,003 --> 01:44:17,062
of the effect of resonance
and reverberation.
1761
01:44:17,139 --> 01:44:19,607
- I don't know nothing about it.
- Well, we'll try and teach you.
1762
01:44:19,674 --> 01:44:21,835
- Go ahead, go ahead.
- Thank you.
1763
01:44:21,910 --> 01:44:23,309
Now, gentlemen,
suppose you play the piece
1764
01:44:23,378 --> 01:44:25,209
you were playing the other day,
as I came into the room.
1765
01:44:25,279 --> 01:44:28,544
- You mean, The AnviI Chorus?
- Yes, yes, yes, indeed.
1766
01:44:28,616 --> 01:44:31,642
- Wonderful, wonderful.
- Now, a...
1767
01:44:31,719 --> 01:44:33,619
- Can we play, too, Professor?
- By all means.
1768
01:44:33,688 --> 01:44:35,246
All of you please join in.
1769
01:44:35,323 --> 01:44:38,156
Now, our hope is,
in the words of Mr. Armstrong,
1770
01:44:38,226 --> 01:44:42,253
that this particular music
might send you out of this world.
1771
01:44:42,329 --> 01:44:45,298
- Yeah?
- Yeah. Would you sit down, please?
1772
01:44:45,365 --> 01:44:46,696
Yeah.
1773
01:44:47,768 --> 01:44:51,966
Perhaps you'll be
a little more comfortable right here.
1774
01:44:57,209 --> 01:45:00,508
All right, gentlemen. If we are all ready
now, I suggest that we proceed.
1775
01:45:00,580 --> 01:45:01,979
Ready.
1776
01:45:28,673 --> 01:45:31,141
- I chose the wrong piece.
You didn't send me at all.
1777
01:45:31,208 --> 01:45:33,642
- Me, neither.
- Yes. It was definitely the wrong piece.
1778
01:45:33,712 --> 01:45:35,236
I don't like that kind of stuff anyway.
1779
01:45:35,313 --> 01:45:37,804
I quite agree with you.
We must go the other way.
1780
01:45:37,881 --> 01:45:40,042
Isn't that true, gentlemen?
We must go the other way.
1781
01:45:40,118 --> 01:45:41,415
We must change our style.
1782
01:45:41,485 --> 01:45:44,010
- Can we help, Professor?
- That's an excellent idea, Mr. Dorsey.
1783
01:45:44,089 --> 01:45:48,116
Perhaps if we change our style to swing,
that'll help produce the desired result.
1784
01:45:48,192 --> 01:45:50,217
Hey, less talk and more music.
1785
01:45:50,294 --> 01:45:52,626
I'm sorry. I'd almost forgotten about you.
1786
01:45:52,696 --> 01:45:54,357
Just one more thing. As they are playing,
1787
01:45:54,431 --> 01:45:58,765
would you boys be prepared
to cut a rug for this gentleman?
1788
01:46:06,946 --> 01:46:08,243
- We dig it, Professor.
- We dig it, Professor.
1789
01:46:08,313 --> 01:46:09,337
Yes, indeed.
1790
01:46:09,414 --> 01:46:11,382
Now you're talking. That's more like it.
1791
01:46:11,449 --> 01:46:14,043
Yes, I thought it was pretty good myself.
1792
01:46:14,119 --> 01:46:15,177
What are you gentlemen going to play?
1793
01:46:15,253 --> 01:46:16,584
We'd like to try Flying Home.
1794
01:46:16,654 --> 01:46:18,246
- That's fine.
- Okay, Mel?
1795
01:46:20,824 --> 01:46:22,223
Flying Home.
1796
01:46:59,028 --> 01:47:01,121
That's better. That's fine.
1797
01:47:30,391 --> 01:47:32,222
Now repeat after me.
1798
01:47:32,293 --> 01:47:34,887
- I, Anthony Crow...
- I, Anthony Crow...
1799
01:47:34,962 --> 01:47:36,156
Louder, please.
1800
01:47:36,230 --> 01:47:39,324
- I, Anthony Crow...
- First class murderer.
1801
01:47:39,399 --> 01:47:42,425
- ... take thee, Honey Swanson...
- ... take thee, Honey Swanson...
1802
01:47:42,502 --> 01:47:45,300
Who hates and despises you, loathes you.
1803
01:47:45,371 --> 01:47:49,330
- ... to be my lawful wedded wife...
- ... to be my lawful wedded wife...
1804
01:47:49,410 --> 01:47:51,207
- ... for better or for worse...
- ... for better or for worse...
1805
01:47:51,277 --> 01:47:52,403
For worse.
1806
01:47:52,479 --> 01:47:56,210
...for richer, for poorer,
in sickness and in health...
1807
01:47:56,282 --> 01:47:58,512
...for richer, for poorer,
in sickness and in health...
1808
01:47:58,585 --> 01:47:59,643
I'm sick already.
1809
01:47:59,718 --> 01:48:00,878
- Now cut that out.
- What?
1810
01:48:00,953 --> 01:48:02,443
- Never mind. Go on.
- What'd you say?
1811
01:48:02,522 --> 01:48:03,750
Go ahead!
1812
01:48:22,874 --> 01:48:25,240
- Did you say something?
- No. It's that music in there.
1813
01:48:26,544 --> 01:48:27,841
...in sickness and in health...
1814
01:48:27,911 --> 01:48:29,401
- You just said that.
- What?
1815
01:48:29,479 --> 01:48:30,707
Shall I cut out that racket, boss?
1816
01:48:30,780 --> 01:48:32,407
Yeah, yeah, go ahead.
1817
01:48:32,482 --> 01:48:34,382
- Hey, where's he going?
- He's going to stop the music.
1818
01:48:34,451 --> 01:48:35,975
But he can't go. He's a witness.
1819
01:48:36,052 --> 01:48:37,713
He's got to remain here
through the entire ceremony.
1820
01:48:37,787 --> 01:48:40,813
Okay, Adams, forget it. Go ahead.
1821
01:48:40,891 --> 01:48:42,415
Now I forgot where I was.
1822
01:48:42,491 --> 01:48:44,118
Now I've got to start all over again.
1823
01:48:44,193 --> 01:48:46,218
This is going to take all day.
1824
01:48:46,295 --> 01:48:47,592
Begin where you left off.
1825
01:48:47,664 --> 01:48:49,131
- What did you say?
- Go ahead!
1826
01:48:49,198 --> 01:48:51,428
Not so loud! You hurt my ear.
1827
01:48:53,336 --> 01:48:56,134
- Now repeat after me. I, Anthony Crow...
- I, Anthony Crow...
1828
01:49:36,476 --> 01:49:38,569
ELFINl: Get his gun. Get his gun.
1829
01:49:42,715 --> 01:49:44,774
And do you Honey Swanson take this man
1830
01:49:44,850 --> 01:49:46,909
to be your lawful wedded husband,
to live...
1831
01:49:46,986 --> 01:49:48,886
No! No, I don't.
1832
01:49:51,457 --> 01:49:52,788
- Take their guns.
- Take their guns.
1833
01:49:52,859 --> 01:49:54,588
Take his gun away.
1834
01:49:55,161 --> 01:49:57,425
Hey, wait, I ain't finished yet.
1835
01:49:57,496 --> 01:50:01,865
I'm very glad of that.
Put up your hands, Mr. Crow. Put them up!
1836
01:50:08,174 --> 01:50:11,405
Now, Mr. Crow, we'll settle
our differences as man to man,
1837
01:50:11,477 --> 01:50:13,570
without the use of firearms.
1838
01:50:16,581 --> 01:50:18,014
Okay, Hobart.
1839
01:50:19,785 --> 01:50:21,514
Take it easy, Tony.
1840
01:50:32,797 --> 01:50:35,163
Atta boy, Frizzy, give it to him!
1841
01:50:36,066 --> 01:50:40,093
Sock him, Frizzy! Go on, hit him.
Atta boy! Give it to him!
1842
01:50:40,170 --> 01:50:45,540
Punch him! Give it to him!
Hit him hard! Hit him again!
1843
01:50:49,213 --> 01:50:52,808
Listen, you seven wise idiots.
It wouldn't work.
1844
01:50:53,850 --> 01:50:56,819
Remember, Frizzy, no women aboard.
1845
01:50:57,620 --> 01:51:01,681
Now, above all women,
you want to take a dizzy dame like me.
1846
01:51:01,758 --> 01:51:03,350
Now, if you will allow me,
1847
01:51:03,426 --> 01:51:06,259
I can cite many examples
of love stories from the operas
1848
01:51:06,329 --> 01:51:08,320
to prove the inevitability of this step.
1849
01:51:08,398 --> 01:51:11,526
Yes, I have proof even
from the older classics.
1850
01:51:11,601 --> 01:51:13,398
- From the laws of harmony.
- Yes, indeed.
1851
01:51:13,469 --> 01:51:14,834
And the laws of counterpoint.
1852
01:51:14,904 --> 01:51:16,735
The music of the masters
is sufficient.
1853
01:51:16,805 --> 01:51:19,365
Yes, indeed.
- That hasn't anything to do with it.
1854
01:51:19,442 --> 01:51:20,807
Yes, it has.
1855
01:51:20,877 --> 01:51:22,742
Gentlemen, I know
when words cease to be of use,
1856
01:51:22,812 --> 01:51:26,543
there remains but one argument.
Come here, Miss Honey.
1857
01:51:27,482 --> 01:51:28,813
Oh, no, Frizzy, please.
1858
01:51:28,883 --> 01:51:29,975
On the book, please.
1859
01:51:30,051 --> 01:51:32,849
But, Frizzy. It isn't fair.
1860
01:51:32,921 --> 01:51:34,218
Isn't it?
1861
01:51:38,159 --> 01:51:40,320
No, it isn't fair.
1862
01:51:40,394 --> 01:51:43,227
My goodness!
Hobart, remember my advice on...
