Yes, dear. 1440 01:28:56,730 --> 01:28:57,770 Helen, don't touch things. 1441 01:28:58,160 --> 01:29:01,200 I'll bet you knew it. No, I'm excited. Not tomorrow. 1442 01:29:02,140 --> 01:29:05,040 Aren't the sleeves a little long?

You remember Mr. 1460 01:29:48,480 --> 01:29:51,340 Morley? How do you do, Mrs. Day? How do you do? Mr. Morley preached the Sunday 1461 01:29:51,340 --> 01:29:52,340 Dr. Lloyd was ill. 1462 01:29:54,350 --> 01:29:56,570 I can't tell you how much I enjoyed your sermon. 1463 01:29:56,990 --> 01:29:58,770 Even my husband enjoyed your sermon. 1464 01:29:58,990 --> 01:30:00,950 We've just come from the board meeting of the foreign missions. 1465 01:30:01,250 --> 01:30:04,270 I'm taking Mr. Morley home to lunch. I had to drop in here to pick up a 1466 01:30:04,270 --> 01:30:05,690 purchase. I won't be a minute. 1467 01:30:06,750 --> 01:30:08,150 Is your parish in the city? 1468 01:30:08,370 --> 01:30:10,890 Yes, it's on the outskirts.

Oh, it's not the 1477 01:30:32,910 --> 01:30:34,470 price. It's the money. 1478 01:30:35,490 --> 01:30:37,170 Thank you for holding it for me.

Oh, yes. 1487 01:31:19,180 --> 01:31:20,740 Oh, Jiminy, you scared me. 1488 01:31:21,370 --> 01:31:24,250 I've got to take $15 right down to McCreary's. I bought a suit there this 1489 01:31:24,250 --> 01:31:25,710 morning, and I said I'd have the money this afternoon. 1490 01:31:26,150 --> 01:31:27,190 Gee, that's too bad. 1491 01:31:27,630 --> 01:31:28,630 What's too bad? 1492 01:31:28,830 --> 01:31:31,090 Well, you see, Clarence... What? 1493 01:31:31,710 --> 01:31:33,550 Dr. Bartlett paid us off in medicine. 1494 01:31:33,830 --> 01:31:34,829 Oh, God! 1495 01:31:34,830 --> 01:31:37,210 Well, he thanked us, too, for our services to mankind. 1496 01:31:37,610 --> 01:31:40,270 But my suit, I've got to have it tomorrow. And besides, they're making 1497 01:31:40,270 --> 01:31:41,890 alterations. I've got to have $15. 1498 01:31:42,330 --> 01:31:44,230 Maybe you could offer them 15 bottles of medicine. 1499 01:31:44,790 --> 01:31:47,050 Oh, they wouldn't take it. McCreary's don't sell medicine. 1500 01:31:48,350 --> 01:31:49,350 Father! 1501 01:31:55,470 --> 01:31:57,870 Good afternoon, sir. How's your mother, Clarence? Oh, the ride this morning did 1502 01:31:57,870 --> 01:32:00,430 her a lot of good. She'll be well enough to go to church with us next Sunday. 1503 01:32:00,490 --> 01:32:01,469 Ah, fine. 1504 01:32:01,470 --> 01:32:04,910 Father, have you noticed I haven't been kneeling down in church lately? 1505 01:32:05,750 --> 01:32:07,990 Don't let your mother catch you at it. Then I have to have a new suit of 1506 01:32:07,990 --> 01:32:08,990 right away. 1507 01:32:09,030 --> 01:32:11,730 That doesn't make sense. I can't do anything in your clothes that you 1508 01:32:11,730 --> 01:32:15,170 do. Well, if my old clothes make you behave yourself, I don't think you want 1509 01:32:15,170 --> 01:32:18,430 wear anything else. Oh, no, you're you and I'm me. I want to be myself. I mean, 1510 01:32:18,430 --> 01:32:20,530 suppose I should want to kneel down in front of a girl. 1511 01:32:21,030 --> 01:32:23,630 Why, in heaven's name, should you want to do a thing like that? Well, I've got 1512 01:32:23,630 --> 01:32:24,690 to propose to a girl sometime. 1513 01:32:25,330 --> 01:32:28,510 Clarence. Not right away, but for $15 I can get a good suit of clothes. 1514 01:32:29,350 --> 01:32:32,050 Clarence, you're beginning to talk as crazy as you... Hello, Vinnie. 1515 01:32:32,770 --> 01:32:34,030 You're feeling better today, huh? 1516 01:32:35,310 --> 01:32:36,710 Much better, thank you, Clare. 1517 01:32:36,930 --> 01:32:39,870 You don't have to hurry home from the office every day like this. 1518 01:32:40,290 --> 01:32:42,850 With business the way it is, it's no use going to the office at all. 1519 01:32:43,510 --> 01:32:45,830 Yes, you do look better, Vinnie. What did you do today? 1520 01:32:46,170 --> 01:32:50,730 I got a carriage and took the boys for a ride. And we stopped in at McCreary. 1521 01:32:51,530 --> 01:32:54,830 Oh, Claire, I've the most wonderful news for you. 1522 01:32:55,170 --> 01:32:56,530 Who do you think I met? 1523 01:32:57,430 --> 01:32:58,610 Mr. Morley. 1524 01:32:58,990 --> 01:33:00,610 Morley? Never heard of him. 1525 01:33:01,050 --> 01:33:04,710 Remember that nice young minister who substituted for Dr. Lloyd one Sunday? 1526 01:33:05,130 --> 01:33:06,130 Oh, yes. 1527 01:33:06,310 --> 01:33:07,310 Bright young fellow. 1528 01:33:07,570 --> 01:33:08,990 Preached a good, sensible sermon. 1529 01:33:09,410 --> 01:33:10,410 Short one, too. 1530 01:33:10,490 --> 01:33:14,290 Ought to be more ministers like him. Well, Claire, his parish is in Audubon 1531 01:33:14,290 --> 01:33:16,050 Park. You know, way up above Harlem. 1532 01:33:16,590 --> 01:33:19,290 Nobody knows you up there. You'll be perfectly safe. 1533 01:33:19,870 --> 01:33:20,870 Safe? 1534 01:33:21,150 --> 01:33:24,030 Vinnie, what the devil are you talking about? I've gone all over everything 1535 01:33:24,030 --> 01:33:26,170 Mr. Morley, and he's agreed to baptize you. 1536 01:33:26,890 --> 01:33:28,090 Oh, he has. 1537 01:33:29,330 --> 01:33:33,150 The young whippersnapper. Very nice of him. We can go up there any morning. We 1538 01:33:33,150 --> 01:33:34,330 don't even have to make an appointment. 1539 01:33:34,710 --> 01:33:36,570 Who said I was going to be baptized at all? 1540 01:33:37,430 --> 01:33:38,430 Why, Claire. 1541 01:33:39,030 --> 01:33:40,030 You did. 1542 01:33:40,270 --> 01:33:41,270 Now, Vinnie. 1543 01:33:41,470 --> 01:33:45,910 You gave me your promise. Your sacred promise. You said I'd be baptized. I 1544 01:33:45,910 --> 01:33:48,350 promised I'd be baptized. Well, what if I did? 1545 01:33:49,070 --> 01:33:50,070 Claire! 1546 01:33:50,340 --> 01:33:52,040 Aren't you a man of your word? 1547 01:33:54,000 --> 01:33:55,600 Vinnie, we all thought you were dying. 1548 01:33:56,080 --> 01:33:57,940 So naturally I said that to cheer you up. 1549 01:33:58,640 --> 01:34:01,080 As a matter of fact, the doctor told me that's what cured you. 1550 01:34:01,620 --> 01:34:04,700 Well, it seems to me pretty ungrateful of you to press this matter any further. 1551 01:34:05,300 --> 01:34:10,000 My being well has nothing to do with it. You gave me your word. You gave the 1552 01:34:10,000 --> 01:34:13,240 Lord your word. And you're going to march yourself up to Mr. Morley's church 1553 01:34:13,240 --> 01:34:16,580 some morning before you go to the office and be christened. If you think for one 1554 01:34:16,580 --> 01:34:19,540 minute... What in the name of heaven is that? If you think I'm going to let you 1555 01:34:19,540 --> 01:34:23,380 add the sin of breaking your solemn and sacred promise... I demand to know what 1556 01:34:23,380 --> 01:34:24,900 that repulsive object is. 1557 01:34:25,120 --> 01:34:27,560 It's perfectly plain what it is. It's a pub dog. 1558 01:34:27,880 --> 01:34:29,000 What is it doing in this house? 1559 01:34:29,260 --> 01:34:30,740 I wanted it and I bought it. 1560 01:34:31,400 --> 01:34:35,180 You spent good money for that? Claire, don't try to change the subject. 1561 01:34:35,680 --> 01:34:39,920 How much did you pay for that atrocity? I didn't pay anything for it. I charged 1562 01:34:39,920 --> 01:34:40,920 it. 1563 01:34:40,940 --> 01:34:42,760 Charged it? I might have known. How much was it? 1564 01:34:43,000 --> 01:34:44,000 Fifteen dollars. 1565 01:34:44,240 --> 01:34:45,240 Fifteen dollars? 1566 01:34:45,320 --> 01:34:46,420 For that eyesore? 1567 01:34:47,000 --> 01:34:49,920 Don't you call this lovely work of art an eyesore? 1568 01:34:50,300 --> 01:34:53,440 It would look beautiful sitting on a red cushion by the fireplace in the living 1569 01:34:53,440 --> 01:34:56,020 room. If that sits in the living room, I won't. 1570 01:34:56,660 --> 01:34:58,740 Furthermore, I don't even want it in the same house with me. 1571 01:34:59,080 --> 01:35:00,080 Get it out of here. 1572 01:35:00,340 --> 01:35:01,340 Claire? 1573 01:35:02,640 --> 01:35:06,320 You're not going to get out of this room until you set a date for your baptism. 1574 01:35:06,580 --> 01:35:07,580 I'll tell you one thing. 1575 01:35:07,840 --> 01:35:11,600 I'll never be baptized as long as that hideous monstrosity is in this house. 1576 01:35:14,480 --> 01:35:15,480 All right. 1577 01:35:16,300 --> 01:35:17,300 All right. 1578 01:35:18,660 --> 01:35:19,660 Clarence. 1579 01:35:22,980 --> 01:35:26,180 That pug dog goes back this afternoon and he's christened first thing in the 1580 01:35:26,180 --> 01:35:29,440 morning. You heard him, didn't you, Clarence? You heard him say that he'd be 1581 01:35:29,440 --> 01:35:31,700 baptized as soon as I got this pug dog out of the house. 1582 01:35:32,240 --> 01:35:36,240 You hurry right back to McCreary's with it and be sure they credit us with $15. 1583 01:35:36,620 --> 01:35:40,060 Oh, Mother, while we were at McCreary's, I happened to see a suit I'd like very 1584 01:35:40,060 --> 01:35:43,760 much, and the suit was only $15. Well, Clarence, I'm afraid your suit will have 1585 01:35:43,760 --> 01:35:46,920 to wait until after I get your father christened. No, I meant that since the 1586 01:35:46,920 --> 01:35:50,340 suit costs just the same as the pug dog, if I exchange the pug dog for the 1587 01:35:50,340 --> 01:35:52,320 suit... Why, yes. 1588 01:35:53,100 --> 01:35:54,980 Then the suit wouldn't cost your father anything. 1589 01:35:56,280 --> 01:35:57,209 Why, how... 1590 01:35:57,210 --> 01:35:59,010 Right of you, Clarence, to think of that. 1591 01:35:59,290 --> 01:36:01,730 I'd better start right away before McCreary's closes. Yes. 1592 01:36:02,070 --> 01:36:03,070 Now, let's see. 1593 01:36:03,190 --> 01:36:06,210 If we're going to take your father all the way to Audubon Park... 1594 01:36:07,260 --> 01:36:10,380 Clarence, on your way back, you stop at the livery stable and tell them to have 1595 01:36:10,380 --> 01:36:13,600 a cab here at 8 o 'clock tomorrow morning. Mother, a cab? Do you think you 1596 01:36:13,600 --> 01:36:16,800 to? We can't walk all the way to Audubon Park. But you know what a cab does to 1597 01:36:16,800 --> 01:36:18,460 fathers. This is a very important occasion. 1598 01:36:18,860 --> 01:36:22,620 All right. Get one of their best cabs, the kind they use at funerals.

Well... I will not 1696 01:43:35,470 --> 01:43:37,030 have that botanical freak in this room. 1697 01:43:37,710 --> 01:43:40,270 John, have you been going around this town selling medicine? 1698 01:43:40,610 --> 01:43:41,489 Yes, Mother. 1699 01:43:41,490 --> 01:43:42,490 Dog medicine? 1700 01:43:43,250 --> 01:43:44,630 No, Mother, not dog medicine. 1701 01:43:44,930 --> 01:43:48,810 This letter from Mrs. Sprague says you sold her a bottle of this medicine and 1702 01:43:48,810 --> 01:43:52,050 that her little boy gave some of it to their dog and it killed him. 1703 01:43:52,830 --> 01:43:55,090 Now she wants $10 from us for a new dog. 1704 01:43:55,430 --> 01:43:56,630 Here, let me see that letter. 1705 01:43:57,170 --> 01:43:59,630 Well, we shouldn't have given it to a dog.

But it's all coming out of your allowance. 1725 01:44:48,990 --> 01:44:52,670 That means that you will not get another penny until the whole $138 is paid up. 1726 01:45:19,560 --> 01:45:22,040 I won't have it, I tell you. I won't have it. Now, Claire. 1727 01:45:24,020 --> 01:45:27,080 Don't let them in. Claire, hush up. They'll hear you.

And you wouldn't have almost died if John hadn't given you that dog 1828 01:50:12,670 --> 01:50:13,890 medicine. Don't you see? 1829 01:50:14,320 --> 01:50:15,460 Well, the whole thing is illegal. 1830 01:50:16,240 --> 01:50:17,620 Suppose I had died. 1831 01:50:17,920 --> 01:50:19,780 It wouldn't make any difference to you. 1832 01:50:20,260 --> 01:50:22,360 You don't care whether we meet in heaven or not. 1833 01:50:22,640 --> 01:50:25,280 You don't care whether you ever see me and the children again. 1834 01:50:25,820 --> 01:50:28,280 Now, Vinnie, you're not being fair to me. 1835 01:50:28,940 --> 01:50:30,100 It's all right, Claire. 1836 01:50:31,200 --> 01:50:35,100 If you don't love us enough, there's nothing we can do about it. 1837 01:50:35,480 --> 01:50:37,240 But that has nothing to do with it. 1838 01:50:38,960 --> 01:50:41,220 I love my family as much as any man. 1839 01:50:42,300 --> 01:50:48,060 All my life, I struggled in work. Just you... Dad, there's that cab. 1840 01:50:52,940 --> 01:50:55,860 Vinnie, you're not well enough to go all the way to Audubon. 1841 01:50:56,100 --> 01:50:57,320 Oh, I'm well enough if we ride. 1842 01:50:57,900 --> 01:50:59,620 But that trip would take all morning. 1843 01:51:00,260 --> 01:51:02,140 And those cabs cost a dollar an hour. 1844 01:51:02,640 --> 01:51:05,820 This is one of their best cabs. This costs two dollars an hour. 1845 01:51:08,620 --> 01:51:09,760 Well, then why aren't you... 1846 01:51:46,000 --> 01:51:47,460 Good morning, Mr. Day. Going to the office?
