DANNY WILLIAMS: Save
your sorrow, for tomorrow,

and smile a while today.

Gee.

Well, what are you
two so happy about?

How are you?

Yoo hoo.

What's the matter?

Somebody put a sour pickle
in your mouldy milk?

What's wrong?

Oh, Daddy.

Oh, Daddy what?

You wouldn't understand.

How do you know I
wouldn't understand?

You just wouldn't.

Try me.

Maybe I'll understand.

All right.

We're not going Alpha.

What did you say?

I said we're not going Alpha.

Not going Alpha?

I should have lived
to see this day.

Oh, this is terrible.

What's Alpha?

I knew you wouldn't understand.

I'll understand.

Just give me a translation.

Tell me, please.

What is an Alpha?

It's a sorority in
school, Mr. Williams,

and they're not taking us in.

Our social life depends on it.

If you're not an
Alpha, you're a nobody.

Wait a minute, hold up.

I thought they didn't allow
sororities in high school.

They don't.

That's why it's so
important to belong to one.

Oh, that's logical.

Why did they turn you down?

Oh, daddy, why does it matter?

It matters a lot now that
you've opened this can of peas.

Why did they turn you down?

I guess they have
their reasons.

What reasons?

Just reasons.

Terry, you are my daughter.

Now my daughter has been
turned down by a sorority,

and I would like to know why.

Now why did they turn you down?

Because I'm your daughter.

Well, that's a
good enough reason.

Daddy, it's nothing personal.

It's just that you're
in show business.

What's being in show
business got to do with it.

You're an entertainer.

Their fathers are lawyers
and businessmen and doctors.

You know, normal people.

They feel a girl
with my background

just wouldn't fit
into their group.

Hm.

Is that so?

Well, bless their snobby
little knobby little heads.

I could tell them a
thing or two, you know.

Daddy, don't you dare.

Do you want to make a
laughingstock out of me?

Things are bad
enough as they are.

I could just crawl
into a hole and die.

Listen, uh.

Teenagers.

Another day, another crisis.

Well, I guess I better
be going, Mr. Williams.

All right, Peggy.

Gee, I'm sorry.

What have you got
to be sorry about?

Your father's not
in show business.

He's normal.

By the way, why'd
they turn you down.

Oh, I don't know.

What's a matter?

They catch your mother
dunking a donut or something?

No.

I really better be going.

Wait a minute, Peggy.

Why are you evading
the question?

What did they tell you?

Why did they turn you down?

Did they turn you down?

Well, why didn't you join?

Don't you see, Mr. Williams?

Terry's my best friend.

And if she isn't
good enough for them,

then neither am I. Believe me, I
told them what I think of them.

They probably wouldn't let me
join now even if I wanted to.

I'm proud of you, Peggy.

I really am.

And I'm proud that you're
my daughter's friend.

I'm sure she appreciates your
sticking by her this way, too.

Oh, but she doesn't know
about it, Mr. Williams.

You mean, you didn't tell her.

Why not, for heaven's sakes.

It's a wonderful thing to know.

I'm going to tell her.

Oh, no.

Please, don't.

Gosh, don't you see?

It wouldn't do any
good and it would

only make Terry feel worse.

Besides, if it were
the other way around,

she'd do the same thing for me.

I'm sure she would, dear.

Promise you won't tell.

OK.

I promise I won't tell.

Gee, Mr. Williams,
I think you're great.

You know, those girls were
just ridiculous to object

to you just because
you're in show business.

I think you're just as
normal as anybody else.

Practically.

Kathy, when are
we going to eat?

Oh, pretty soon, Rusty.

We're waiting for Terry.

She should have been
home half an hour ago.

She'll be along, honey.

Well, I'm worried.

The mood she was in last
night, you can't tell

what crazy thing she might do.

Maybe she stowed
away on a ship.

Stop being silly, huh?

Play.

Maybe she'll end up in Persia
and be sold in a slave market.

Never mind.

Move.

Really, Danny, I
don't think you're

taking this seriously enough.

You know, being turned down
by a sorority is a pretty

big blow to a teenager.

Oh, come on.

I think you better
start calling around.

Honey, don't make a
big thing out of this.

I know my own daughter.

I mean, she's not one of these
emotionally unstable teenagers.

Terry's a sensible kid.

Believe me, she's seen this
thing in its proper perspective

by now and has
forgotten all about it.

I guarantee you
when she comes home,

she'll be her old usual,
happy, laughing self.

Hello, everybody.

What did I tell you?

She's all tired
out from laughing.

Terry, the world
hasn't come to an end

just because you were
turned down by the Alphas.

Wait until you get in college
and join a real sorority.

Oh, I don't care
about that anymore.

Somehow, the social life
no longer appeals to me.

I may quit school and
become a missionary.

A missionary?

I'll go to some colony
in the south seas

and bring comfort to
the poor, sick natives.

I'll devote my life to
something bigger than myself,

something bigger than
all of us, bigger

than the snobby old Alphas.

Williams Missionary Society.

Oh, hello Peggy.

Yeah, she's here.

I don't think she feels
much like talking.

Wait a minute.

If I meet you halfway, could
you get enough strength to come

over here and answer the phone.

It's Peggy.

Hello, Peggy.

Come on, Russ.

Let's eat.

Belize, how you doing?

They are?

When?

OK, I'll be ready, and
thanks a million, Peg.

Bye!

Oh, come on.

We've got to finish
dinner quickly.

They're coming.
-What?

Who's coming?
-The committee from the Alphas.

They've reconsidered.
-The committee from the Alphas?

Yes, just think.

I may actually become an Alpha.

Oh, so exciting.

Well, what about the
poor sick natives?

Terry, what made them
change their minds?

Oh, I don't know.

It was just luck, I guess.

One of the girl's heard her
father talking about daddy

and she realized he wasn't just
an ordinary cafe entertainer,

that he's sort of a star.

Oh, congratulate
me Missus Williams.

I've just been readmitted
to the human race.

I think after dinner, you
and I ought to celebrate.

Let's go to the movies.

All right.

Oh, but daddy,
you can't go out.

They're coming to look you over.

They're coming to look us over?

Of course.

That's part of the
regular procedure.

They want to see
what our home is like

and what kind of
a family I have.

How much are you willing to
pay for me to stay out of sight?

Are you out of your
Mesopotamian mind?

Do you honestly believe that
we're going to sit around

like a bunch of morons
while these teenage monsters

walk up and down inspecting us?

Oh, Danny, it isn't
as bad as that.

It's a custom.

They do it all the time.

Not to me, they don't.

This is a private
club, too, you know.

Alpha Beta Williams,
it's called.

And nobody gets in here
unless they're invited.

But nobody.

Particularly a bunch of snobbish
pony-tailed teenage monsters.

All right.

Go ahead and ruin my life.

What do care if I
don't have any friends.

My whole world comes to an end.

Oh, I could just crawl
into a hole and die.

That's the second hole she's
crawled into in two days.

This is not an apartment.

It's a hunk of Swiss cheese.

Oh, daddy.

You look simply elegant.

Honey, this is not a gag.

You actually want me
to dress like this?

Of course.

I want them to see
you as you really are.

Where are my cigars?

Oh, daddy.

Do you have to smoke a cigar?

You don't mind I enjoy
smoking a cigar in the evening,

if it's all right with you?

Well, daddy, couldn't you smoke
something more distinguished?

Would you like me to light up
a copy of the book of knowledge?

I

Mean, like a pipe.

OK, I have a pipe.

Oh, good.

But I'll smoke a cigar in it.

Bring on the Alphas.

I'm ready.

Kathy, you look just lovely.

Oh, thank you, Terry.

If it isn't the
perfect little gentleman

I could just crawl
into a hole and die.

You, too?

What am raising here?

Children or gophers?

Oui, oui, mademoiselle.

The salami sandwiches are ready.

Oh, Louise.

Well, honey, I tell you.

I'm going to bring them in with
the punch and the cookies, huh?

Oh, no, Louise, not now.

I don't want the girls to
think we're expecting them.

And Louise, don't you have an
apron with a little more starch

in it?

Sure, honey.

I got-- I got an apron
with a lot of starch.

Only trouble is, every time I
try to tie a bow, it cracks.

Is everybody trying
to be impossible?

Now Kathy, I want you sit over
here on the couch like that.

Yes.

And daddy, I think
that you should--

that you should sit next to
her sort of informal like.

-Informal?
-Yes.

OK.

Daddy, informal, but dignified.

Now, Rusty, what
will we do with you.

I know.

You can stand in the corner.

Gosh, don't I get
enough of that in school?

Daddy, dignified.

How would it be if we just
sat here shaking hands?

Sit and cooperate.

I'm trying to cooperate.

Oh, no.

They're here.

Oh, Kathy.

You sit up a little
bit straighter.

Yes, like that.

And do something
with your hands.

Well, what do I do--

Like make them-- yes.

And-- daddy, let's see.

Put the pipe in.

Here.

Oh, we need some music.

There.

That's it.

Act natural.

Oh, Louise, would you
please answer the door.

OK.

Well, how am I going
to open the door

when you're blocking the way?

I'm sorry.

The William's residence.

Who shall I say is calling?

The Alpha Beta Chi
membership committee.

The Alpha Beta Chi
membership committee.

Come on in, honey.

You're welcome.

Go in and sit down.

Why girls, what a
pleasant surprise.

How are you?

Oh, well.

Well, hello.

We have company, dear.

We-- we weren't
expecting anyone.

We were just sitting
around like we always do,

listening to Chopin "Nocturne"
and reading, uh-- "The Decline

and Fall of the Roman Empire."

I think I'll knock
off the Nocturne

and beat up some Beethoven.

Daddy, not just now.

Daddy, I'd like you to
meet my girlfriends.

This is Bobby, Chris, and Nick.

Oh, hello fellas.

This is Missus
Williams and the boys.

How do you do?

Girls, I'd also like you to
meet my little brother, Rusty.

How do you do?

How do you do?

Nice place you have here.

Small, but we pay a high rent.

Won't you girls sit down?

Yes, please do.

Sit down, sit down.

Now if there are any
questions you'd like to ask,

just fire away.

What Mr. Williams
means is, if there any

formalities in these
matters, why we'd

be very happy to cooperate.

Yes, if you'd like to see
any of my identification cards

of membership cards or
social security number.

I belonged to the Red Cross.

My blood type is A. Anything you
want to know, like credit cards

or electrocardiograph.

I don't think so.

Well, I'm very glad
to hear that, ladies.

Sounds like you have a
democratic organization.

I like democratic organizations.

You know, I believe that you
judge a person on what he is,

not who he is or what he has.

Some folks call that
a corny philosophy.

But I like it, and it's blessed
me with many wonderful friends

in all walks of life-- a
butcher, an oil tycoon, a shoe

clerk, and a congressman,
and a cab driver,

and the President of the United
States, to name just a few.

Well, we can't stay too
long, you know, girls.

Excuse me.

Hello?

Oh, hi ya, Pat.

Baby, how are you?

I'm fine.

They're fine.

Thank you.

When?

A week from Sunday?

Oh, I can make it.

No, I'm not working that week.

Happy to do it.

Not at all.

OK, Pat.

All right, kid.

Goodbye.

Honey, a week from Sunday I
have to do a benefit in Madison

Square Garden with Pat Boone.

Remind me, will you, honey?

Was that Pat Boone?

The Pat Boone?

On that phone?

You mean, you've met him?

In person?

Actually shooked
hands with him?

Which hand?

Shake hands, hands!

It's a nice lifeline, isn't it?

Will you excuse me?

I'd like to use it.

Could you--

Well, girls.

We do have to be going now.

Oh, sorry you
have to go so soon.

Well, Terry, it's
not official yet,

but we'll be looking forward
to seeing you in Alpha.

Right girls?
-Right.

Right.

Bye now.

Bye.

Goodbye, Mr. Williams.

Bye.

Oh, girls!

I touched it again.

Did you hear that?

I'm practically in.

Ra, ra, ra.

Well, what have we here.

The Queen of the May?

Better than that.

I've been accepted
in the Alphas.

Well, excuse me
while I bang a cymbal.

She's going to the
pledge dance tonight?

Well, what do you
know about that?

Yes.

And guess who's my date?

-Guess who's your date?
-Mm-hm.

Go ahead.

Guess.

Yogi Berra.

Freddy Baxter.

What a big deal he's doing you.

He's taking you out.

Huh.

Terry, your daddy's
only teasing.

He doesn't mean it.

What we both feel is that
Freddy Baxter's the lucky one

to be going out with you.

All right.

But all I know is now
that I'm an Alpha,

a whole new world
has opened up for me.

Well, if you're happy,
darling, so are we.

Oh, I am.

That must be him already, and
I still haven't put my heels on.

Oh, daddy, get it.

I'll get it, I'll get it.

Don't get excited.

False alarms.
It's only Peggy.

Hi, honey.

Hi, Mr. Williams.

Hi, Peg.

I've been trying to get you
on the phone all afternoon.

Where have you been?

Oh, I was out.

Oh, well, how do
you like my dress?

Gee, it looks great.

Peggy, how come
you're not dressed?

You'll be late for the dance.

Oh, well, I'm not going.

You're not going?

That's impossible.

All the pledges
are supposed to go.

It's a custom.

Peggy, you did pledge
Alpha, didn't you?

No, I didn't.

Peggy.

That's impossible.

Well, honestly, I
don't care anymore.

It really doesn't matter.

You don't care?

Well, no.

Terry, I've been
thinking it over.

And well, it's
all right for you.

You've got good grades and lots
of time for extra activities.

But I should really
concentrate on my studies.

So it actually doesn't
make any difference.

It's better if I don't
belong to a sorority.

Oh, but Peggy, I thought
sure when they took

me in that they'd take you too.

I mean, we're best of
friends and everything.

I know, Terry.

But that's the
way it worked out.

I just came over to congratulate
you and see how you looked.

And you look beautiful.

Oh, thank you, Peg.

But--

Won't your date
be here any minute.

Oh, that's right.

And I haven't even finished yet.

Well, would you excuse me?

Sure, Terry.

Terry?

Yes, daddy?

Nothing.

Look, Peggy, I
know I promised you.

But I'm sorry, I can't
keep that promise.

I've got to tell her.

Oh no, please don't.

Mr. Williams, it would only
spoil her whole evening.

Well, won't that be too bad.

I've got to tell her.

Danny, tell her what?

Honey, you remember
this whole mess when

the Alphas turned Terry down?

Yes.

Well, they didn't
turn Peggy down.

She could have gotten in.

She turned them down because
she was loyal to her friend.

Peg, you turned them down?

In spades, she turned them
down and told them off.

That's probably why
she can't get in now.

Peggy turned the
Alphas down for Terry.

But now that the
situation is reversed,

does Terry do the same
thing for her friend?

Oh no, Cinderella must go
to the dance no matter what.

Now, wait a minute.

You can't blame Terry.

She doesn't know what
Peggy did for her.

She knows that her best
friend was turned down.

What more does she need to know?

For the first time in
my life I'm honestly

ashamed of my daughter.

Oh, please don't feel
that way, Mr. Williams.

You don't realize how
important this is to Terry.

All the excitement and prestige.

And she's going out
with Freddy Baxter.

He's the most popular
boy in school.

He knows everybody.

He doesn't know me, and I'm
going to keep it that way.

Now, Danny.

Just because you're
angry at Terry,

you don't have to be
discourteous to Freddy Baxter.

Who's going to be discourteous?

Look, I don't need an lesson
in etiquette right now.

All right, dear.

But I think you'd better confine
your conversation to "hello"

when you meet him and
"goodbye" when he leaves.

Couldn't I just throw in
a "how do you feel" too?

No.

Just "hello" when you meet him
and "goodbye" when he leaves.

No, Danny.

I'll get that.

Hello, I'm Freddy Baxter.

Oh, Terry will be right down.

You know Peggy
Conroy, of course.

Yeah.

Tough luck you didn't
make Alphas, kid.

But that's the way
the ball bounces.

I guess you're right.

Don't feel too bad, though.

I hear they're extra
particular this year.

Hello.

Hello, goodbye.

I'm taking Terry to the dance.

Terry's not going to the dance.

Not going?

No, she can't go.

She fell and broke her leg
and we had to shoot her.

Goodnight.

Where does that leave me?

Oh, you're such a popular kid.

I'm sure when the news gets out
that you're available a line

will form to the right.

Goodnight.

But--

That's the way
the ball bounces.

That's the way
Niagara Falls, too.

Danny, what did you do?

Exactly what I should have
done long ago-- putting a stop

to this whole ridiculous thing.

Letting myself get
pushed around by a bunch

of snobbish teenagers.

Not only that, letting my
daughter become one of them.

-Now, Danny--
-Terry!

Terry!

Come out here.

TERRY: One minute, daddy.

Not a minute!

Now!

Yes, daddy.

Now you see here-- young
lady, where's your dress?

I took it off.

I changed my mind.

I'm not going to the dance.

Terry, you don't know
what you're saying.

Yes, I do.

Oh, Peggy, I've been so selfish
and I just haven't realized

that our friendship
is so much more

important than any sorority.

If they're too good for you,
they're too good for me.

Terry, are you sure you
know what you're doing?

Yes, I'm sure, Peggy.

Well, after all, you'd
do the same thing for me,

wouldn't you?

Well--

I'm sure she would.

So what do you
say we go bowling.

Sounds great.

We both need the exercise.

That's true.

Let's go.
Goodbye, daddy.

Bye, Kathy.
-Don't be too late.

Oh, we won't.

And daddy, when Freddy
comes, would you

make up some excuse like I--

Like you broke your leg
and we had to shoot you.

You can think of
something better than that.

Bye.

DANNY WILLIAMS:
Save your sorrow for tomorrow,

and smile a while today.

Work is play to anyone
that hopes, and live today.

Tomorrow never comes.

And if you cheer up,
hey, skies will clear up.

And dark clouds will pass away.

Come on and save your sorrow
for tomorrow and smile

a while today.

And if you cheer up,
hey, skies will clear up,

and dark clouds will pass away.

So save your sorrow,
for tomorrow and smile,

smile a while today.
