All language subtitles for Family Affair s01e15 Hard Hat Jody

Hi, Jody. Me not Jody. Me Indian brave.

Long eagle.

Hi, long eagle.

Hi, Uncle Bill. Hi, how's my little
girl?

Fine.

You said you were going to scout Mr.

French. Just look at him.

Uncle Bill, when us Indians capture Mr.

French, do we scalp his head or his
chin?

Ohio Gazimisu.

Oh, very good, sir.

But, um, you must barely whisper the
final U.

Ohio Gazimisu. Ohio Gazimisu.

That's right, sir. Got it. Mr. Massau
ought to be impressed with that.

Mr.

Davis. Ignoring. But how much longer,
sir?

I don't know. Maybe it's just a phase.

Well, should I say how?

He likes it.

Oh, you like it? I'm very, very glad,
sir.

Oh, I like very much.

This monorail system, absolute the best.

How soon we leave for Tokyo?

Oh, well, it takes some time to get
ready.

Are you going to torture him?

Sure.

Well, have fun.

Sayonara.

We got it. We got it.

Why are you so glum?

You got something against monorails?

Well, times have changed.

No, I've got an obligation to those
kids, and I don't like to be away all

time, that's all.

Oh, French can take care of them while
you're gone.

And there are phones in Tokyo, you know.
You can even jet back and forth if you

have to. I know, I know, but they've got
problems. I told them I'd be around.

Every time one of them has a problem,
I'm off on the other side of the world

someplace. Problems? It's kids' stuff.

Forgotten the next day.

You haven't got any kids, so you don't
know any more about them than I do.

I'm sorry, Mr. French, but I'm sure Jody
was just playing.

Just playing, indeed.

That young man would make even Geronimo
take to the hills.

Hey, that's not fair.

I was going to scout Mr. French.

Nonsense.

I'm an Englishman, and we have a treaty
with the Iroquois.

Bill? Bill.

Maybe I can take over your family
problem here.

Which one is it?

Jody. Jody, he has a problem?

Like what, trying to get an entire
hamburger in his mouth at once?

No, he thinks he's an Indian.

That's a problem.

Well, maybe the shock of losing his
parents is having a belated effect on

don't know.

He seems to be, or they call it,
retreating into a fantasy world.

Oh, kids do that.

No, it's more than a game of pretend
with Jody.

It's just like he's trying to avoid
reality altogether.

Okay, what do we do about it?

Well, I was hoping I could find
something to do right here in New York.

Well, the only bid we have out is the
Pennington Plaza job.

And you know Pennington. Or rather, you
know that nobody knows Pennington.

Well, we got a fat chance of landing
that old buzzard.

Anyway, what could you do if you did
stay here? What could you do about Jody?

Well, I got a couple of ideas.

For openers.

I'm gonna take that home to him.

A hard hat.

Aren't you just switching fantasies?

Nope.

Now, he hears me talking about
construction, and I think maybe I can

gently ease him back to reality, you
know, pretend we're doing a job

give him something to hang on to.

It's going to take time.

I'll give you a call. I don't hold out
much hope, but if I hear anything from

Pennington, I'll call you.

Thank you.

Either we land him by Saturday, or it's
going to be Madam Butterfly, here I

come.

Good afternoon, sir. Oh, French, how's
Jody?

Oh, quite out of hand, sir.

Whoa! Hiya, Jody.

Me not Jody. Me Indian brave.

Long eagle.

Ah, long eagle.

Hi, Uncle Bill. Ah, how's my little
girl?

Fine. Fine.

I just fruit down your ranch house.

Catch her, Mrs. Beasley.

Who said you were going to scout Mr.

French? Just look at him. Uncle Bill,
when us Indians capture Mr.

French, do we scalp his head or his
chin?

Jody,

listen.

How would you like a job working for me,
huh?

There. Jody!

engineer. A real engineer. Wait a
minute. Just to keep the record

you're a pretend engineer.

Got that?

Mrs. Beezy will like that.

Now she won't have to get captured all
the time.

Now I can tear down this whole building.

Go ahead.

You sure about that, huh?

Oh. Okay, thanks, Ed. Goodbye.

That's Ed Hastings out of the journal.
He says that the Owen Pennington plaza

job is boiled down to two outfits.

Crumplers and us.

Well, I still think you should be ready
to leave for Japan.

Crumpler will underbid us. Crumpler
underbids everybody.

Yeah, and everybody knows they cut
corners, too. If I could get to old man

Pennington for five minutes, that's all
I ask. Five minutes.

Oh, yeah, you could talk to him if you
could find him.

Where'd you send our bid?

Post office box, Grand Central Station.

He's got to have some kind of
organization.

Dozens of them.

All right, one of them makes
recommendations to him. They'd know how

touch with him, wouldn't they?

Nobody makes decisions for Owen
Pennington but Owen Pennington.

Doesn't he get an office?

In his hat.

He uses pay phones to contact his
headquarters if and when he feels like

Miss Lee, get me all the background
material you can on Owen Pennington.

magazines, TV tapes, anything you can
find at all.

You know what you're going to find out?

He's rich, powerful, old, and eccentric.

He wears sneakers with his faded blue
corduroys.

All right.

Maybe I'll get a hint.

That's all I want, just a hint where I
can find him.

Before that plane leaves for Tokyo.

And what did your teacher say to you
about wearing that hat at school today?

She made me take it off. Except at
recess.

Well, a matter of simple good manners.

It was dangerous to take it off. Because
I was tearing down the school building.

Sorry, Mr.

French. Just pretend.

I did so.

It's just a great big empty lot.

Good. We'll be able to park there
tomorrow.

Mr. French, is it all right if I go
outside now?

What are your plans?

I gotta go look for a job. I'm all
finished tearing down this apartment and

school building.

Well, why don't you stay here and start
something more constructive?

Please, I won't get in trouble or break
anything.

I just want to tear down a few
buildings.

Very well.

You may go out and tear down anything
you wish within the confines of this

block. Huh?

Do not cross streets.

extra steel here because of the
increased stress factor.

Double it. I build it last forever.

Yes, sir.

I was wondering where to get in touch
with you about some of these things, Mr.

Pennington. You don't. I get in touch
with you.

What do you want?

I'm looking for a job.

What do you do?

Teardown building.

Where did you get that hard hat?

Uncle Bill.

Us construction guys wear them so rocks
don't fall on our head.

What's your name?

Jody. What's yours?

Alden. How long have you been looking
for a job?

Oh, not too long.

Just finished that time I went to Peru.

Oh, is that so?

And before that, a bridge down in
Canada.

Up in Canada.

Yeah. I'm strong for just going on
seven.

There ought to be a place for a man like
you.

How would you like to work with me?

Okay.

I've got to change into my dinner
jacket.

Oh, are we dining out, sir?

Yeah.

Well, I have to have dinner with Ted
Gaynor at the place called Manhattan

Club. Oh, to be sure, sir.

I'm preparing our wardrobe for Tokyo
now, sir.

Weather there can be quite brisk at this
time of the year.

Oh, by the way, sir, shall we pack the
ceremonial kimono?

Oh, no, listen, with any luck, Mr.

Gaynor and I have any luck at the club
tonight, we won't even have to go to

Tokyo.

Luck, sir?

It's Owen Pennington's club.

Is your Mr. Pennington so elusive, sir?

The most elusive.

Landing the Pennington contract is the
only way I can avoid going to Japan.

How's Jody? You think he's coming down
to Earth?

No, sir, no, sir. I'm afraid he's taking
the hard hat as seriously as the war

bonnet.

What a great time to walk out on him.

have you been?

I had to work late.

Oh.

You better march right in there and
explain to Mr. Davis.

Hi. Hi, Jody.

Mr. Finn says I report to you. Report
what?

About my first day on the job.

What job?

The building down the street.

Oh, Jody, now we're going to have to
have a little talk about the difference

between pretend and reality.

You know, the difference between make
-believe and what's real.

Now, this hard hat is a toy, and you're
a little boy, six years old, and you go

to school.

Now, you're just pretending to be a
construction worker. Got that?

I got paid.

Ten cents.

Real money.

Well, who gave it to you?

Oney.

I help him.

Who, Zoni?

My friend.

Oh.

Okay, Jody. Now you and your little
friend play, but just remember you're

playing, okay?

I'll remember it, but I won't believe
it.

Any luck, sir?

No.

Pennington never showed up. Nobody there
ever heard of him.

I don't know why he bothers to pay his
dues.

I have better news, sir. I made a few
discreet calls.

Did you locate him?

Well, not quite, sir, but among others,
I telephoned Miss Waldron.

She's the upstairs maid to the
Vandyventers.

She's never seen Mr. Pennington.

That figures.

No, sir, but she's heard her cousin
mention him.

Well, that's as close as we've been so
far.

Yes, sir, but among other things, her
cousin is a masseur at the Health First

Club. And she said that he said that Mr.
Pennington takes a steam bath there at

2 a .m. every Tuesday morning.

Two o 'clock in the morning?

Yes, sir.

And it is now 1 .35 a .m.

Oh, uh...

The address of the establishment, sir.

French.

Steam or no steam, I'm going to track
him down and I'm going to nail him.

you.

Hi, Jody.

You asleep?

Not anymore.

What's going on?

See that building down the street?

That's my work.

Today, me and Nonny went right to the
top.

That's nice.

On the elevator, right up there where
there's

nothing to hang on to.

Jody, are you pretending now or did you
really go up in that elevator?

I had to.

It's part of my job.

No fooling?

Crossed my heart.

Went right to the top.

Okay, that does it.

We're going to have to figure out some
new kind of therapy, Jody. This sure

isn't working.

But Uncle Bill, it's dangerous without
my hat.

Sorry, you're a lone eagle Indian again.

How do you know better than to come to
work without your hard hat?

I just came to tell you I have to quit.

Quit? You're doing a great job.

Yeah, but Uncle Bill took my hat away
and said I have to be an Indian again.

Why?

I don't know.

Is he mean to you?

No, he's a good guy.

Maybe I better talk to him, just to make
sure, huh?

Okay. But the last guy who looked like
you, he gave a quarter to.

We're relieved you're home, sir.

We don't quite know what to do.

About what?

Well, a problem, sir.

Jody brought a... friend home for milk
and cookies, and he insists that since

Buffy and Sissy bring their friends in,
he claims to say right.

Well, he can bring his little friends
home when he wants to. What's the

That is the problem, sir. His little
friend.

Hi, Jody.

Uncle Bill, this is Oney.

Oh, Oney, I'm Bill Davis.

Any friend of Jody's is always welcome.

See, Oney, he's a nice guy, even if he
did take my hat.

Why did he take his hat away?

Well, I thought it was best.

He tells me that you go away and leave
him a lot.

Yeah, it's my job.

Uncle Bill's going to Tokyo in a couple
of days.

Don't you think if you stuck around,
it'd anchor him a little better?

Yeah, and maybe it can't be done.

Or maybe you can tell me how.

Mind if I use your phone?

Right over here.

Hey, did you really send him up in a...

An open elevator.

Why not?

It was caged in.

Didn't anybody try to stop you?

How could they?

Jellison.

On the Pennington Plaza job, award the
contracts to Davis and Gaynor.

Oh, Mr. Davis, huh?

I've just decided.

You don't have to pay for the call, Mr.
Pennington.

I always pay my own way, Mr. Davis.

Mr. Pennington, wouldn't you like to
talk a little about... I mean, I'd like

tell you something about Davis and
Gaynor first.

I'll bet I know more about Davis and
Gaynor than you do.

You tell your partner you and he meet me
tonight at midnight.

Midnight? Where?

The usual place.

Staten Island Ferry. On the bow.

So long, Jody.

You and I are going to work together
again someday, you know?

Okay, honey.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Goodbye,

sir.

Uncle Bill, was it okay for me to bring
a friend home?

Yeah, it was okay.

You can have your hat back, too.

Hi, Joey.

You okay?

Sure. Any problems?

None I can't handle.

I was worried about you.

You were?

Why? What are you pretending to be now?
An Indian?

Construction worker?

Doctor?

Nope. This time I'm Uncle Bill.

Watch.

You okay?

Yeah, I'm okay.

I got a feeling we're all going to be
okay.
