1
00:00:07,950 --> 00:00:11,330
Elizabeth, want to play softball? I
don't feel much like it right now,

2
00:00:11,750 --> 00:00:12,750
What's the matter?

3
00:00:12,930 --> 00:00:16,309
Well, Friday night's the class dance,
and I don't have anybody to go with.

4
00:00:16,590 --> 00:00:17,850
Why don't you go by yourself?

5
00:00:18,350 --> 00:00:20,950
Without a date? Are you kidding? I
couldn't do that.

6
00:00:21,570 --> 00:00:23,410
All right. Are you going to ask?

7
00:00:24,610 --> 00:00:27,890
Nicholas, I don't ask. I have to wait to
be asked.

8
00:00:29,750 --> 00:00:31,630
Okay. How long are you going to wait?

9
00:00:31,990 --> 00:00:34,510
With my luck, forever. Lately, I can't
even get arrested.

10
00:00:35,180 --> 00:00:37,440
You mean you have to get arrested just
to get a date?

11
00:00:38,580 --> 00:00:39,580
No, no.

12
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:45,040
You see, getting arrested, well, it's a
figure of speech, you know, like... Boy,

13
00:00:45,260 --> 00:00:49,100
if you have to get arrested just to get
a date, I'd rather be a bachelor.

14
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:21,680
Oh, rats.

15
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,120
Elizabeth. I'm helping Mary.

16
00:02:26,220 --> 00:02:29,320
I'm helping with the other end. I don't
think you're tall enough to reach,

17
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:30,620
Nicholas, but thanks anyway.

18
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:35,520
Testing. One, two, three. Testing.
Tommy, can you give me a hand, please?

19
00:02:35,780 --> 00:02:38,060
I can't. I'm testing. One, two, three.
Elizabeth.

20
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:39,440
Ready for some more.

21
00:02:39,940 --> 00:02:41,120
I'm helping Mary.

22
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,320
Testing. One, two, three. Testing.

23
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:44,520
Okay.

24
00:02:48,430 --> 00:02:50,930
Nicholas, I think you're a little too
small for this kind of work.

25
00:02:52,490 --> 00:02:53,810
Hi, guys. Hi, Judy.

26
00:02:57,130 --> 00:02:58,130
What's that?

27
00:02:58,490 --> 00:03:01,170
This is the ceremonial urn.

28
00:03:01,790 --> 00:03:06,970
See, Nicholas, tonight Dad's going to
take the mortgage, which after 25 years

29
00:03:06,970 --> 00:03:09,550
all paid up, and he's going to place it
in the urn.

30
00:03:10,070 --> 00:03:13,970
And then he will ignite it, and the
house will be ours, free and clear.

31
00:03:14,270 --> 00:03:15,270
Yeah, but what's that?

32
00:03:16,210 --> 00:03:17,730
Well, it's all a walk.

33
00:03:19,690 --> 00:03:21,070
A Chinese frog pen.

34
00:03:21,730 --> 00:03:22,770
Doesn't have any butter.

35
00:03:23,370 --> 00:03:25,350
Nicholas! I'm helping Jody!

36
00:03:30,910 --> 00:03:34,610
And then Elizabeth, who must have been
all of three at the time, came walking

37
00:03:34,610 --> 00:03:36,130
along the beach carrying a crab.

38
00:03:36,450 --> 00:03:39,530
She walked over to Tom, who's lying
there stretched out, and the son says,

39
00:03:39,590 --> 00:03:42,270
Daddy. Drops the crab right in his
stuffed celery.

40
00:03:42,970 --> 00:03:46,290
By the way, where is the lord of the
manor? Stuffing celery.

41
00:03:46,730 --> 00:03:47,730
Oh, God.

42
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,080
Look what I have, everybody. Little
happy -happies for you all.

43
00:03:52,420 --> 00:03:55,560
Tom, Abby, I want you to meet Hank. This
is the boss I've been complaining

44
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:56,560
about.

45
00:03:58,260 --> 00:03:59,260
Hi, hi.

46
00:03:59,580 --> 00:04:00,680
Oh, hi, David.

47
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,700
Hi. I'm sorry I'm late. I got hung up.

48
00:04:04,900 --> 00:04:08,600
You know how it is. When you work behind
a desk, you can't always leave when the

49
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:09,600
whistle blows.

50
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,660
Thank you, thank you. I knew you'd
understand.

51
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,060
All right, let's get this show on the
road, okay?

52
00:04:17,959 --> 00:04:24,180
Now, you ready? Ladies and gentlemen,
welcome to the Bradford Mortgage Burning

53
00:04:24,180 --> 00:04:25,180
Party.

54
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:34,480
For the past 25 long years, on the first
of every month,

55
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:39,100
we have made our little, should I say
little, our big mortgage payment to the

56
00:04:39,100 --> 00:04:45,820
bank. And now, ladies and gentlemen,
after 25 long, hard years, this place,

57
00:04:45,820 --> 00:04:46,820
as it is,

58
00:04:47,270 --> 00:04:50,870
is finally and completely ours!

59
00:04:57,950 --> 00:05:03,530
And to celebrate this very festive
occasion, we have brought to you direct

60
00:05:03,530 --> 00:05:10,330
upstairs that wonderful little Tommy
Bradford and his big brother David

61
00:05:10,330 --> 00:05:13,250
singing for you a little song, a little
ditty.

62
00:05:13,790 --> 00:05:16,090
that should be very appropriate for the
occasion.

63
00:05:16,370 --> 00:05:18,030
Take it away, Tommy and David!

64
00:05:20,130 --> 00:05:21,130
Well,

65
00:05:22,510 --> 00:05:25,950
this here is a song about a house and
the people that came there to live.

66
00:05:26,530 --> 00:05:31,750
When Tom and Joan found the little old
barn of a place All kinds of windows and

67
00:05:31,750 --> 00:05:38,230
lots of empty space A big backyard and a
roof That leaked like a still

68
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:44,660
Joan says this is the place for us and
Tommy the fella to put up a fuss, but he

69
00:05:44,660 --> 00:05:46,480
says, honey, I got one little doubt.

70
00:05:47,300 --> 00:05:50,980
Though it's good to have some spares,
what are we going to do with all them

71
00:05:50,980 --> 00:05:51,980
rooms upstairs?

72
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:58,560
But Joan just smiles and says, we'll
work something out.

73
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:02,680
So it's four and a half.

77
00:06:39,660 --> 00:06:42,680
And now, for the moment we've all been
waiting for.

78
00:06:43,840 --> 00:06:45,440
May we have the mortgage, please?

79
00:06:46,740 --> 00:06:47,740
Nicholas!

80
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:50,460
Now! Now!

81
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:59,500
Now, ladies and gentlemen, as you see,
we have here the 25 -year

82
00:06:59,500 --> 00:07:00,500
-old mortgage.

83
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:06,140
I want you to watch closely as I put the
mortgage into the silver plate.

84
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:12,880
We then take a match thusly, and you are
going to be amazed at what happens.

85
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:21,560
Seriously, I remember the first time
that Joan and I ever saw this house.

86
00:07:22,020 --> 00:07:26,460
We were sitting in the car right out
front, and we just sat in the car, and

87
00:07:26,460 --> 00:07:27,540
stared at the house.

88
00:07:27,820 --> 00:07:32,220
It needed a paint job, and there was
much more money than we could afford.

89
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:34,260
But somehow...

90
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:39,720
Gosh, I don't know how we did it, but we
did scrape up the down payment. And we

91
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:43,500
got it painted. I mean, it took a full
summer of weekends.

92
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:48,740
And by August 1st, it was half green and
half white.

93
00:07:50,020 --> 00:07:54,040
But then, alas, the plumbing backed up.

94
00:07:55,360 --> 00:08:00,320
$600 worth and three weeks of hard work
at eating off paper plates.

95
00:08:01,980 --> 00:08:02,980
What?

96
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:09,740
It's 25 years later now, and the house
still needs a little painting,

97
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:15,860
and the plumbing still isn't terrific,
but it's ours.

98
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:23,080
It would be so nice if...

99
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:34,600
Congratulations, Tom. It's all yours.

100
00:08:35,700 --> 00:08:40,919
Have I

101
00:08:40,919 --> 00:08:47,740
told you how lovely you

102
00:08:47,740 --> 00:08:48,740
look tonight?

103
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:50,440
Thanks, Matt.

104
00:08:52,660 --> 00:08:54,520
Oh, David, the song was so good.

105
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:55,779
The song?

106
00:08:55,780 --> 00:08:57,060
That was a verbal history.

107
00:08:57,500 --> 00:08:59,880
It was kind of like the Bradford version
of Roots, huh?

108
00:09:00,970 --> 00:09:01,869
You gotta hear this.

109
00:09:01,870 --> 00:09:02,870
Merle Haggard's calling.

110
00:09:03,790 --> 00:09:07,310
It's no big thing. I just think you and
Tommy should consider singing at the

111
00:09:07,310 --> 00:09:08,310
Spectrum.

112
00:09:09,410 --> 00:09:12,990
Spectrum? No, wait, that's the big time.
People like Roy Clark and Bonnie Raitt

113
00:09:12,990 --> 00:09:16,110
play there. Every Monday night, the
Spectrum has a hoot night. Anybody that

114
00:09:16,110 --> 00:09:17,310
wants to can get up and perform.

115
00:09:17,810 --> 00:09:20,210
You'd be surprised at the talent that's
been discovered there.

116
00:09:20,870 --> 00:09:21,870
Are you really serious?

117
00:09:22,190 --> 00:09:25,570
The owner's a good buddy of mine. Just
pick a Monday night. Let me know.

118
00:09:25,870 --> 00:09:26,849
You're on.

119
00:09:26,850 --> 00:09:27,850
Let me know.

120
00:09:29,330 --> 00:09:30,330
Hey.

121
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:34,260
Hey, you don't think we could... What
if... We could get some exposure?

122
00:09:34,460 --> 00:09:35,460
Maybe cut an album.

123
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:37,500
Make a lot of bread.

124
00:09:38,340 --> 00:09:40,660
Groupies. A lot of bread.

125
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:42,180
Lots of groupies.

126
00:09:47,940 --> 00:09:48,940
Any calls?

127
00:09:59,980 --> 00:10:01,540
Did you find it? I think maybe.

128
00:10:02,020 --> 00:10:03,920
Take a look at this measurement along
the south wall.

129
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:05,640
See what they did?

130
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:08,720
They drew it as one length, but they
listed it as another.

131
00:10:11,020 --> 00:10:12,020
Son of a gun.

132
00:10:12,660 --> 00:10:14,040
Geez, I'm glad you caught that.

133
00:10:14,300 --> 00:10:16,140
You know, that could have cost a lot of
money.

134
00:10:17,700 --> 00:10:19,000
Hey, any news on the test?

135
00:10:19,780 --> 00:10:20,780
No.

136
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,160
Nervous? I breezed right through it.
Piece of cake.

137
00:10:24,560 --> 00:10:26,200
Oh, you're a better man than me, my boy.

138
00:10:26,620 --> 00:10:30,020
I studied for that thing for three solid
months. I was a wreck waiting for the

139
00:10:30,020 --> 00:10:31,520
results. Yeah, remember.

140
00:10:32,100 --> 00:10:35,820
It was just before Emily had her first
kid, you know. And I was working out at

141
00:10:35,820 --> 00:10:36,820
Crescent Junction.

142
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,800
And one day, one of the guys comes
running out. He says, hey, Ben. He says,

143
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:40,840
Emily just had a baby.

144
00:10:41,020 --> 00:10:42,020
I said, that's nice.

145
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:44,120
But ain't news about my contractor's
license.

146
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,780
Wait a minute. I think it's the mailman.
I'll be right back.

147
00:11:29,900 --> 00:11:34,380
Hey, Tommy, take it easy on the door. We
own the place now. David's dropped out

148
00:11:34,380 --> 00:11:35,159
of the act.

149
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:36,059
He did what?

150
00:11:36,060 --> 00:11:38,900
He said he wasn't going to get up on
stage and make a fool of himself.

151
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:40,320
He can't do that.

152
00:11:40,460 --> 00:11:44,080
Mary, he can't do it if he wants to.
He's an adult now. He can choose his own

153
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:47,320
actions. You call copping out on Tommy
like that being an adult?

154
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:52,380
She's right, Dad. I mean, the show must
go on. The show is going on. With or

155
00:11:52,380 --> 00:11:54,880
without David, I'm performing at the
Spectrum Monday night.

156
00:11:55,460 --> 00:11:56,760
You sure about that, son?

157
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,040
David can chicken out if he wants to,
but I can handle it myself.

158
00:12:07,680 --> 00:12:10,220
Back pounding nails when he flunked his
exam.

159
00:12:10,460 --> 00:12:12,020
Exam? What exam?

160
00:12:12,680 --> 00:12:15,200
For his contractor's license. You mean
he didn't tell you?

161
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:17,140
No. That's typical.

162
00:12:17,340 --> 00:12:18,960
Close to the chest all the way.

163
00:12:19,500 --> 00:12:22,740
You see, I got more work than I can
handle, so I made a deal with David. You

164
00:12:22,740 --> 00:12:25,880
your contractor's license, work for me
for a while as my assistant, and then

165
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:26,880
subcontract for me.

166
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:28,400
You mean the job was only temporary?

167
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,460
Afraid so. It was all dependent upon him
getting that license.

168
00:12:32,500 --> 00:12:33,680
So he's back on construction.

169
00:12:34,260 --> 00:12:38,660
Well, I wasn't about to lose a worker
like him, so I got him back swinging a

170
00:12:38,660 --> 00:12:39,940
hammer instead of swinging a pencil.

171
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:42,320
Michelle.

172
00:13:00,970 --> 00:13:02,050
You're taking me to lunch?

173
00:13:02,250 --> 00:13:03,970
Why? I mean, what's the occasion?

174
00:13:04,250 --> 00:13:06,130
Oh, because it's a pretty day.

175
00:13:06,850 --> 00:13:08,630
Because I just got a raise.

176
00:13:09,310 --> 00:13:10,310
Who needs an occasion?

177
00:13:10,950 --> 00:13:14,350
The real reason is, if I pay, I get to
pick the place.

178
00:13:15,030 --> 00:13:17,510
I see he's already taken you to his
favorite little spot.

179
00:13:17,790 --> 00:13:22,230
The Jalisco Hot Dog Pit. Right, and
that's what it is to the pit, right? 27

180
00:13:22,230 --> 00:13:23,970
brands of heartburn on a bun.

181
00:13:24,250 --> 00:13:27,110
What? Wait a minute. You mean you really
don't like that place?

182
00:13:27,330 --> 00:13:29,270
I would like to sneak out in the dead of
night.

183
00:13:29,770 --> 00:13:32,530
and burn that place to the ground as a
public service.

184
00:13:32,790 --> 00:13:35,890
That's a good idea. Not even the Polish
sausage with the chili and the

185
00:13:35,890 --> 00:13:37,650
sauerkraut? I'd love that.

186
00:13:54,250 --> 00:13:57,590
I have a test tomorrow on the central
nervous system, and my central nervous

187
00:13:57,590 --> 00:13:59,490
system is beginning to fray around the
edges.

188
00:13:59,930 --> 00:14:01,650
Elizabeth, I've got to get my act
together.

189
00:14:01,970 --> 00:14:05,710
Yeah, couldn't you get it together a
little more quietly, like maybe in

190
00:14:06,550 --> 00:14:09,010
Look, when the Eagles play, people pay
to listen.

191
00:14:09,330 --> 00:14:10,209
I'm paying.

192
00:14:10,210 --> 00:14:11,370
I'm paying. Believe me.

193
00:14:13,230 --> 00:14:14,230
How's it going?

194
00:14:14,470 --> 00:14:16,010
A little frayed around the edges.

195
00:14:16,450 --> 00:14:18,030
I could really use the other guitar.

196
00:14:18,590 --> 00:14:19,730
David? Yeah?

197
00:14:20,550 --> 00:14:22,570
Well, listen, I'll just go to the
library. It's okay.

198
00:14:22,890 --> 00:14:25,430
Oh, hey, I don't want to drive you out
of the house. It's okay.

199
00:14:25,810 --> 00:14:26,810
I'll drive myself.

200
00:14:30,190 --> 00:14:32,710
Library will be better for nervous
system.

201
00:14:34,830 --> 00:14:35,830
Okay.

202
00:14:46,410 --> 00:14:47,810
Hey! Hey!

203
00:14:49,190 --> 00:14:52,960
I'd just like to say... that I like
music, and I like what you're playing.

204
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,380
you've been playing the same thing for
the last 40 minutes, so please try

205
00:14:55,380 --> 00:14:57,120
something different before I get
violent.

206
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:01,440
Girls.

207
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:02,760
Yeah.

208
00:15:04,980 --> 00:15:05,980
Coming.

209
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:12,200
Hi. What?

210
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:14,020
I want to talk to you about Tommy.

211
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,580
Okay, David, if you'd rather have an
argument with me out here on your front

212
00:15:19,580 --> 00:15:20,820
porch, that's just fine with me.

213
00:15:21,940 --> 00:15:23,640
You know, Tommy will get over it.

214
00:15:24,500 --> 00:15:26,000
Oh, the spectrum thing, sure.

215
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,700
I was thinking more of Tommy's opinion
of his older brother.

216
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:32,020
Aren't you being a little dramatic?

217
00:15:32,300 --> 00:15:33,300
I don't think so.

218
00:15:34,100 --> 00:15:36,000
David, Tommy looks up to you. You're his
idol.

219
00:15:36,700 --> 00:15:40,120
Oh, well, that's his problem. I don't
remember applying for the job.

220
00:15:40,540 --> 00:15:44,900
David, come off. Look, Mary, if Tommy
wants to get up there and make a fool of

221
00:15:44,900 --> 00:15:45,900
himself, let him.

222
00:15:46,030 --> 00:15:49,570
I got better things to do with my time.
David, you only failed one loud details.

223
00:15:49,710 --> 00:15:50,710
What's the big deal?

224
00:15:51,790 --> 00:15:55,070
I got cut down once this week, and I
don't need it again.

225
00:15:55,830 --> 00:15:56,830
Just go.

226
00:15:57,530 --> 00:15:58,530
I'm sorry.

227
00:15:59,250 --> 00:16:00,790
Go be sorry somewhere else, okay?

228
00:16:03,730 --> 00:16:04,730
Yeah.

229
00:16:11,490 --> 00:16:14,470
And then the girl says, okay, but what
will we do with your guitar?

230
00:16:21,020 --> 00:16:24,860
When Mr., no, let's drop the Mr. stuff.

231
00:16:25,340 --> 00:16:30,200
When the emcee said that this was the
first time on stage for me, actually,

232
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,640
wasn't quite the truth. You see, I have
worked on a stage before.

233
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:35,240
Riding shotgun.

234
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:47,540
Oh, hi, Dad. I was just polishing my
opening monologue for tomorrow night.

235
00:16:47,740 --> 00:16:48,740
Yes, I heard.

236
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:50,220
Oh. What do you think?

237
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:54,600
Oh, well, to tell you the truth, I was a
little weak.

238
00:16:54,940 --> 00:16:59,940
You see, telling jokes is an art. It
requires eye contact with the audience

239
00:16:59,940 --> 00:17:02,740
pausing at the right moment, setting up
the punchline.

240
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:05,720
It also requires good material.

241
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:09,160
Oh, I've got plenty of that. Here, sit
down. I want to try one out on you.

242
00:17:10,700 --> 00:17:13,520
You see, a funny thing happened to me on
the way to the Spectrum tonight.

243
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:17,560
I was cruising along and all of a sudden
I hear all of these lights and sirens.

244
00:17:18,020 --> 00:17:22,500
And then this guy pulls me over, gets
out, comes over and sticks a size 12

245
00:17:22,500 --> 00:17:26,319
against my vehicle, knocks it over,
takes out this little black book and

246
00:17:26,319 --> 00:17:28,920
to write me up for peddling without a
license.

247
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:35,700
What's the matter? Didn't you get it?

248
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:37,080
I got it.

249
00:17:37,580 --> 00:17:38,680
Would you like it back?

250
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:41,120
No, no, you don't understand.

251
00:17:42,469 --> 00:17:43,610
That's another little Tommy.

252
00:17:43,970 --> 00:17:47,010
If you have to explain the joke, that
means that it didn't work.

253
00:17:47,330 --> 00:17:48,730
But keep polishing it up.

254
00:17:49,170 --> 00:17:50,170
It'll get better.

255
00:17:51,670 --> 00:17:52,730
Shucky Bradford.

256
00:18:01,910 --> 00:18:03,890
Yeah, at least you like my jokes.

257
00:18:04,910 --> 00:18:06,810
Mind if I come in? Yeah, come on in.

258
00:18:08,210 --> 00:18:10,670
Mary, I want to try a joke out on you.
Sit down.

259
00:18:11,980 --> 00:18:14,600
See, a funny thing happened to me on the
way to the Spectrum tonight.

260
00:18:14,940 --> 00:18:18,640
I was cruising along, and all of a
sudden I hear all these lights and

261
00:18:18,940 --> 00:18:23,300
And then this guy pulls me over, gets
out of his car and comes over. David,

262
00:18:23,300 --> 00:18:24,300
not trying to interfere.

263
00:18:24,660 --> 00:18:29,140
I agree that you're old enough to...
Come on, I'm not asking you to perform.

264
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,660
I'm not asking you to perform. I'm just
asking you to come down there and sit in

265
00:18:33,660 --> 00:18:36,260
the audience and give Tommy moral
support by your presence.

266
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,160
Dad, I understand your point, but I've
got plans for tonight.

267
00:18:39,460 --> 00:18:40,840
Well, plans can be changed.

268
00:18:41,370 --> 00:18:42,670
Look, Dad, I'm sorry. There's someone
here.

269
00:19:16,910 --> 00:19:17,910
What's not fair?

270
00:19:18,190 --> 00:19:20,030
I ought to be allowed to go, too.

271
00:19:20,590 --> 00:19:23,690
Oh, no, we've been over this before.
You're too young.

272
00:19:24,090 --> 00:19:25,590
But what about Tommy and Elizabeth?

273
00:19:25,910 --> 00:19:28,830
They aren't grown up, either. Suddenly
we have to draw the line somewhere.

274
00:19:29,470 --> 00:19:30,830
Boy, that stinks.

275
00:19:31,390 --> 00:19:34,410
I couldn't agree more. But guess what?
There's a brighter side.

276
00:19:34,790 --> 00:19:37,570
Abby and I are going to stay home and
babysit with you.

277
00:19:38,110 --> 00:19:39,170
I'm not a baby.

278
00:19:39,890 --> 00:19:42,050
Oh, no, of course not. That's just a
figure of speech.

279
00:19:42,870 --> 00:19:44,950
Like, um... Like getting arrested?

280
00:19:45,610 --> 00:19:47,650
Like... No, I don't think so.

281
00:19:48,170 --> 00:19:53,670
Look, suppose we change the word.
Instead of babysit, we make it

282
00:19:53,670 --> 00:19:55,790
boy -sit.

283
00:19:57,470 --> 00:19:59,850
No, that's sexist. Child -sit.

284
00:20:02,030 --> 00:20:03,030
Kid -sit?

285
00:20:03,170 --> 00:20:07,350
Hey, kid -sit. How about kid -sit?

286
00:20:07,590 --> 00:20:09,230
Hmm, kid -sit.

287
00:20:09,570 --> 00:20:10,890
Maybe kids.

288
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:19,020
Yes, the ones who really need the light
are the ones who turn away.

289
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:20,820
Open up.

290
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,140
Baby, won't you open up?

291
00:20:26,020 --> 00:20:27,160
Open up.

292
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:34,180
Baby, won't you open? Baby, won't you
open up? Ah, darling, now, baby, won't

293
00:20:34,180 --> 00:20:36,500
open? Baby, won't you open up?

294
00:20:43,310 --> 00:20:44,790
$1 ,500 rent.

295
00:20:45,530 --> 00:20:47,690
No, no, the rent is $175.

296
00:20:48,430 --> 00:20:51,530
Yeah, but the card says with the hotel
it's $1 ,500.

297
00:20:53,470 --> 00:20:55,610
Quick, lend me $5 ,000.

298
00:20:56,070 --> 00:20:57,810
I can't do that. It's against the rules.

299
00:20:58,250 --> 00:21:01,470
Oh, come on now. You're not going to let
a little eight -year -old kid wipe me

300
00:21:01,470 --> 00:21:02,470
out.

301
00:21:04,090 --> 00:21:06,050
Thank you, Merv, baby. That was
wonderful.

302
00:21:06,470 --> 00:21:11,070
And now, for the first time on any
stage, let's give a great big spectrum

303
00:21:11,070 --> 00:21:12,270
welcome to...

304
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:13,620
Tommy Bradford.

305
00:21:21,180 --> 00:21:27,820
Uh, I suppose you're all kind of
wondering how I got on the spectrum bill

306
00:21:27,820 --> 00:21:32,720
tonight. Actually, this was my prize for
placing second in a local talent

307
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:39,260
contest. Uh, the winner got a two -week
subscription to the Atlantic Monthly.

308
00:21:39,460 --> 00:21:41,480
But seriously, folks,

309
00:21:42,270 --> 00:21:46,510
This is really a step up from the last
place I played. Well, you talk about

310
00:21:46,510 --> 00:21:49,510
dives. They had a dime cover charge to
keep out the rip -raff.

311
00:21:51,810 --> 00:21:55,990
No, the spectrum is really beautiful,
and I'm really glad to be here. It's

312
00:21:55,990 --> 00:22:01,450
really where it's at. One other thing
before I start. This song was originally

313
00:22:01,450 --> 00:22:06,390
arranged for two people with the other
guy playing the guitar. So if it sounds

314
00:22:06,390 --> 00:22:10,650
like I hit a wrong chord or I'm singing
a harmony, you're probably hearing

315
00:22:10,650 --> 00:22:11,650
right.

316
00:22:25,360 --> 00:22:27,980
Hey, darling, don't clap like that. He's
liable to tell another joke.

317
00:22:31,060 --> 00:22:32,900
Hey, I'm sorry I'm late.

318
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:34,780
That's okay. I was just warming him up.

319
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:36,000
Are you ready? Yeah.

320
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:49,440
When you're down and troubled And you
need some

321
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:53,260
loving care And nothing

322
00:23:04,420 --> 00:23:05,420
Hey,

323
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,260
which one of you boys is Sonny and which
one of you is Cher?

324
00:23:08,540 --> 00:23:11,440
Hey, why don't you stuff a plug in it so
the rest of us can enjoy the show, huh?

325
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:14,540
Well, how are you going to enjoy the
show with them two up there singing like

326
00:23:14,540 --> 00:23:15,540
that?

327
00:23:19,380 --> 00:23:20,380
Hey.

328
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,420
Those guys are trying real hard up
there, so how about you giving them a

329
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:25,440
huh?

330
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:29,680
Oh, how about you give me a break? How
about you getting your hands off me?

331
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:32,560
hey, hey, now come on, don't play hard
to get, because I've seen you over there

332
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:33,539
giving me the eye.

333
00:23:33,540 --> 00:23:34,560
Giving you the eye?

334
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:33,780
Could you repeat that last part, please?

335
00:24:40,860 --> 00:24:42,080
You're not going to believe this.

336
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:44,640
I have seven kids in jail.

337
00:24:56,060 --> 00:24:58,980
Now, I shouldn't get nervous. There must
be a logical explanation.

338
00:24:59,360 --> 00:25:01,920
Only what could be logical about seven
kids being in jail?

339
00:25:02,380 --> 00:25:03,760
Maybe they got the wrong Bradford.

340
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:06,900
How many Bradfords in Sacramento have
seven children?

341
00:25:07,180 --> 00:25:09,080
Oh, yeah, that's right.

342
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:12,600
Well, anyway, they've got them in two
different facilities.

343
00:25:13,020 --> 00:25:18,040
So if you could go down to Juvenile Hall
and pick up Nancy and Elizabeth and

344
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:22,200
Tommy, and then I could go over to Adult
Hall or Senior, whatever they call it,

345
00:25:22,220 --> 00:25:23,220
and pick up the rest of them.

346
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:27,500
Dad, can I go with you? Oh, no, no, we
have to get a babysitter for him. Kid

347
00:25:27,500 --> 00:25:28,500
sitter. A kid sitter, right.

348
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:30,060
Okay, let me see now.

349
00:25:36,620 --> 00:25:39,300
Backpack. You'll never find it in Yellow
Pages. Well, I never had to hire a

350
00:25:39,300 --> 00:25:40,640
babysitter, a kidsitter before.

351
00:25:41,020 --> 00:25:44,660
I always used one of the kids, except
once. David was a little boy, and we got

352
00:25:44,660 --> 00:25:47,180
the person across the street. It was a
cousin of the people that live across

353
00:25:47,180 --> 00:25:49,380
street. I've got her. I've got her.
She's one of my students, and she'll be

354
00:25:49,380 --> 00:25:52,280
perfect. Well, I don't know if I'll find
it in Yellow Pages. What are you

355
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:53,099
looking for now?

356
00:25:53,100 --> 00:25:54,100
A bail bondsman.

357
00:26:05,870 --> 00:26:09,590
here almost an hour. Well, let's hope
Mr. Sampson is more confidential and

358
00:26:09,590 --> 00:26:10,850
sympathetic than he is prompt.

359
00:26:11,150 --> 00:26:12,150
Mr. Bradford? Yes.

360
00:26:12,530 --> 00:26:17,190
I'm John Sampson, bail bondsman. Though
a few more nights like tonight, I'm

361
00:26:17,190 --> 00:26:19,570
going to try wholesale dry goods. What a
big nothing.

362
00:26:20,070 --> 00:26:24,050
Two B andDs, one DWI, and three BIs.

363
00:26:24,510 --> 00:26:25,510
No BLTs?

364
00:26:25,770 --> 00:26:29,990
You want a joke? I charge by the hour.
Oh, no, no. Please, Mr. Sampson, this is

365
00:26:29,990 --> 00:26:33,170
not a joke. We have a problem here of
disturbing the peace.

366
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:36,820
You're disturbing my peace if you got me
out of bed for a lousy DP.

367
00:26:37,100 --> 00:26:39,260
Well, your ad did say any time, day or
night.

368
00:26:39,460 --> 00:26:42,800
I exaggerate. And they've thrown in a
nice, disorderly conduct, just for good

369
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:45,100
measure. Oh, well, that's a little
better.

370
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:48,180
Okay, DP, DC, NP.

371
00:26:48,900 --> 00:26:50,660
NP. No problem.

372
00:26:52,380 --> 00:26:53,380
Four of them, right?

373
00:26:53,620 --> 00:27:00,620
Well, yes, on the DP and on the DC,
there are five, but actually there are

374
00:27:00,620 --> 00:27:01,620
on the QT.

375
00:27:02,340 --> 00:27:03,340
Seven?

376
00:27:03,689 --> 00:27:05,970
How many people are we talking about?

377
00:27:06,610 --> 00:27:07,670
Well, don't look at me.

378
00:27:07,890 --> 00:27:09,830
The hole in the wall gang belongs to
him.

379
00:27:10,670 --> 00:27:11,830
Mr. Bradford, please.

380
00:27:13,230 --> 00:27:14,230
Yes.

381
00:27:16,090 --> 00:27:17,090
Oh, thank you.

382
00:27:17,670 --> 00:27:22,730
Mr. Sampson. If you don't mind, I don't
take shorthand. Oh, yeah. Listen, Mr.

383
00:27:22,850 --> 00:27:25,470
Sampson, I... Oh, gosh. I don't think
we're going to be needing your services.

384
00:27:25,710 --> 00:27:29,170
The sergeant said that the court has
decided to release the kids on their own

385
00:27:29,170 --> 00:27:30,170
recognizance.

386
00:27:33,419 --> 00:27:34,419
Sergeant, not me.

387
00:27:36,780 --> 00:27:40,120
Well, I'll go pick up the juvenile, then
I'll meet you back at the hideout.

388
00:27:42,060 --> 00:27:43,060
Sergeant, sir.

389
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:52,360
I don't think it's so funny.

390
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:55,520
I've never been so embarrassed in all my
life.

391
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:57,440
Juvenile, huh?

392
00:27:57,480 --> 00:27:59,660
I was supposed to be in the big house.

393
00:28:01,450 --> 00:28:04,290
So next time you get busted, remember to
bring your ID.

394
00:28:05,190 --> 00:28:06,690
You know what really bugs me?

395
00:28:07,050 --> 00:28:08,450
It's weird just starting to cook.

396
00:28:09,890 --> 00:28:12,670
Whoops, better put some more bread and
water on. Sounds like the rest of the

397
00:28:12,670 --> 00:28:13,670
jailbirds are coming in.

398
00:28:14,710 --> 00:28:17,410
Hey, hard case, how'd you get out of the
joint so fast?

399
00:28:17,710 --> 00:28:21,390
Listen, small fry, when you've done as
much hard time as I have... Oh, I've

400
00:28:21,390 --> 00:28:25,490
in and out of this family so many times,
they've got to sell with my name on it.

401
00:28:25,630 --> 00:28:27,510
All right, quiet down, all of you.

402
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:30,700
And when you stop laughing, maybe you'd
like to hear what this immature,

403
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:34,420
inexcusable, terrible behavior is going
to cost us. Here.

404
00:28:35,100 --> 00:28:36,720
Item. The spectrum.

405
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:38,600
The spectrum neon light.

406
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:41,400
The chairs. The table. The microphone.

407
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:45,300
The speaker. The big glass mirror that
used to hang up behind the bar.

408
00:28:45,540 --> 00:28:47,120
Oh, but, Dad, we didn't do that.

409
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:48,600
Item.

410
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,780
David's future. Do you know what, David?
Do you know what you're charged with?

411
00:28:52,020 --> 00:28:54,800
Assault with a deadly weapon. Dad,
that's stupid. Item.

412
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:57,540
Legal fees for all seven of you.

413
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:00,360
I don't know whether they charge by the
person or by the offense, but either

414
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:01,760
way, it's a very tidy sum.

415
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:06,140
Hey, wait a minute, Dad. I have a friend
from school, absolutely brilliant.

416
00:29:06,380 --> 00:29:10,400
Passed the bar exam without ever even
studying, Phi Beta Kappa, law review,

417
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:11,279
whole works.

418
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:14,800
Look, I'm sure he'd give us a break on
legal feastings. He's a good friend and

419
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:15,800
so new and all.

420
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:16,839
Oh, how new?

421
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:17,840
Two weeks.

422
00:29:17,860 --> 00:29:21,380
Listen, the important thing is to have a
lawyer when you go to court. Remember

423
00:29:21,380 --> 00:29:22,860
when I got arrested during the sit -in?

424
00:29:23,220 --> 00:29:24,360
Who forgets?

425
00:29:24,650 --> 00:29:28,430
The charges usually get reduced to
something the judge can handle by just

426
00:29:28,430 --> 00:29:30,130
out a stiff fine and it's over.

427
00:29:30,350 --> 00:29:34,630
Oh, thanks, Mary. That's another thing.
Item, stiff fines. Put the emphasis on

428
00:29:34,630 --> 00:29:38,850
stiff. And how come, Mary, of all the
kids, you were charged with resisting

429
00:29:38,850 --> 00:29:39,850
arrest?

430
00:29:41,690 --> 00:29:44,770
Well, uh, I guess I'm having to die
hard.

431
00:29:46,510 --> 00:29:48,030
I want to hear what happened.

432
00:29:48,310 --> 00:29:50,090
Not now, Nicholas. We'll tell you about
it tomorrow.

433
00:29:50,530 --> 00:29:52,030
But it already is tomorrow.

434
00:29:52,570 --> 00:29:53,730
We said later, Nicholas.

435
00:29:55,310 --> 00:29:56,530
It's always later.

436
00:29:56,750 --> 00:29:58,790
I'm never included like anyone else.

437
00:29:59,170 --> 00:30:01,630
Oh, I wouldn't worry about that. Just
stay yourself.

438
00:30:02,170 --> 00:30:03,190
You mean stay small?

439
00:30:03,670 --> 00:30:08,210
No, I mean, uh, don't change to be just,
you know, just to be one of the mob.

440
00:30:08,590 --> 00:30:09,830
Stay Nicholas.

441
00:30:10,650 --> 00:30:11,930
Inside, where it counts.

442
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:25,000
got through one and a half versions
before the fight broke out.

443
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:28,940
Yeah, it was really something else. They
were throwing tables all over the place

444
00:30:28,940 --> 00:30:31,200
and chairs and people and guys.

445
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:32,479
Wait a second.

446
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:36,260
Jody, what's with all the papers? Hey,
the newsboy has a sense of humor. Eight

447
00:30:36,260 --> 00:30:41,940
copies. Mail it out to Spectrum. Extra,
extra. Read all about it. Hey, we made

448
00:30:41,940 --> 00:30:43,380
the paper. What page? Eleven.

449
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:44,720
Only page eleven?

450
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:47,920
Yeah. Here it is, guys. Next to the last
page.

451
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:50,280
Here it is.

452
00:30:51,150 --> 00:30:54,490
Melee at the Spectrum. A near riot broke
out last night at the Spectrum, a

453
00:30:54,490 --> 00:30:55,950
country music club on North Main Street.

454
00:30:56,250 --> 00:30:59,990
Hey, what's with these people? I mean,
we're in between club and garden news

455
00:30:59,990 --> 00:31:00,990
the obituaries.

456
00:31:01,430 --> 00:31:03,190
Better have a talk with your press
agent, Tommy.

457
00:31:03,690 --> 00:31:04,690
Come on, you guys, there's more.

458
00:31:04,930 --> 00:31:08,950
Though several people were involved in
the fracas, only one person, William

459
00:31:08,950 --> 00:31:11,290
Cody, 28, a truck driver, was injured.

460
00:31:11,710 --> 00:31:14,730
A spokesman for the Spectrum said the
damages were in the neighborhood of $5

461
00:31:14,730 --> 00:31:16,350
,000. Yeah.

462
00:31:17,230 --> 00:31:21,330
David Bradford, 23, one of the two
Bradford brothers performing at the

463
00:31:21,330 --> 00:31:24,190
charged with assault, allegedly having
hit Cody with his guitar.

464
00:31:25,270 --> 00:31:28,150
Bradford is the son of Tom Bradford,
columnist for this paper.

465
00:31:28,630 --> 00:31:30,370
They didn't even mention my name.

466
00:31:31,930 --> 00:31:36,090
That's showbiz, kid, you know. I mean,
one day you're a star, the next day they

467
00:31:36,090 --> 00:31:37,090
don't know who you are.

468
00:31:37,210 --> 00:31:38,350
Damn, what a rag.

469
00:31:38,790 --> 00:31:41,170
Hey, buddy, this rag happens to pay the
bills.

470
00:31:41,470 --> 00:31:43,610
Hey, I wonder what's on Dad's column
today.

471
00:31:45,030 --> 00:31:46,030
Here you go.

472
00:31:46,430 --> 00:31:47,430
On the last page.

473
00:31:49,050 --> 00:31:54,250
Ah, a capital idea by Tom Bradford. In
light of the increasing violence in our

474
00:31:54,250 --> 00:31:58,310
present society, perhaps we should have
a better look at capital punishment?

475
00:31:59,890 --> 00:32:02,050
Good timing, Dad. Hits it every time.

476
00:32:05,890 --> 00:32:08,790
Could you guys come downstairs?

477
00:32:10,790 --> 00:32:13,210
Chuck, this is Joni and Nancy.

478
00:32:13,490 --> 00:32:15,490
Actress, beauty expert. And David.

479
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:17,060
Ah, ADW.

480
00:32:17,660 --> 00:32:18,660
Ah, okay.

481
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:23,240
Susan. The ringleader threw the first
punch, right? Yeah, well, I was mad.

482
00:32:23,580 --> 00:32:26,100
Now, I'm bound by oath to tell you that
violence is never a way to settle

483
00:32:26,100 --> 00:32:28,340
problems. Yeah, but that drunk... Do you
understand what I said?

484
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:30,380
Yeah, but... Good, fine. Let's get on
with it.

485
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:32,580
All right, my plan is simple. Attack.

486
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:35,460
We're going to fill the air with
legalities and the court with subpoenas.

487
00:32:35,740 --> 00:32:39,140
We're going to start by suing the
Spectrum for not adequately protecting

488
00:32:39,140 --> 00:32:40,140
employees and patrons.

489
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:43,380
We're going to find that heckler, and
we're going to request the court to

490
00:32:43,380 --> 00:32:44,480
him with inciting to riot.

491
00:32:45,340 --> 00:32:46,640
Maybe I can get a change of venue.

492
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:48,780
Chuck, what can I expect in the ADW?

493
00:32:48,980 --> 00:32:52,140
Oh, I am really looking forward to
fighting that one. Now, I need to know

494
00:32:52,140 --> 00:32:55,520
whether the guy you hit provoked you or
threatened you in any manner whatever.

495
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:58,260
Oh, no, no, no. Wait a minute. David
didn't hit anybody.

496
00:33:00,460 --> 00:33:01,860
Do you have any witnesses to that
effect?

497
00:33:05,260 --> 00:33:07,680
Oh, we can plea bargain that charge down
to simple assault.

498
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:09,940
Simple assault. I didn't hit anybody.

499
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:11,440
Tell it to the judge.

500
00:33:14,410 --> 00:33:16,390
Don't tell me you're... Nicholas.

501
00:33:16,770 --> 00:33:18,110
Right, the one that wasn't arrested.

502
00:33:18,490 --> 00:33:20,010
Yeah. Can I talk to you?

503
00:33:20,330 --> 00:33:22,990
Sure. What's the best way to get
arrested?

504
00:33:23,310 --> 00:33:24,310
And beat the charge?

505
00:33:24,510 --> 00:33:25,890
No. And then go to jail.

506
00:33:33,750 --> 00:33:36,890
When I was younger, things seemed to be
a lot simpler.

507
00:33:38,450 --> 00:33:40,050
It's going to be one of those kind of
articles, huh?

508
00:33:40,250 --> 00:33:41,250
One crummy week.

509
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:45,700
Is your final word on the subject, or do
you want to try for ten days? What are

510
00:33:45,700 --> 00:33:46,700
you talking about?

511
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:48,460
Maybe the faintest idea.

512
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:50,220
What are you talking about?

513
00:33:50,420 --> 00:33:54,520
I finally got out from under for one
crummy week. No payments, no expenses.

514
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:57,840
The house is finally completely mine,
and now tomorrow I have to go to the

515
00:33:57,840 --> 00:33:58,960
and borrow $5 ,000.

516
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:02,960
Is that going to cover court costs, too?

517
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:04,400
Court costs?

518
00:34:04,860 --> 00:34:05,860
What time is it?

519
00:34:06,180 --> 00:34:08,320
I have to see the city attorney at 11 o
'clock.

520
00:34:08,679 --> 00:34:10,980
What's he want? I don't know what he
wants. He probably wants to give me a

521
00:34:10,980 --> 00:34:14,159
special award for having the most kids
in jail over a 24 -hour period.

522
00:34:14,460 --> 00:34:16,340
Yeah, the Nobel Disturbing the Peace
Prize.

523
00:34:30,159 --> 00:34:33,199
For openers, let me tell you that I'm
prejudiced in this case. Oh?

524
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:34,400
Yeah, in your favor.

525
00:34:34,739 --> 00:34:39,210
Oh. Over the years that I've read your
columns, I've come to feel that I know

526
00:34:39,210 --> 00:34:40,750
you and your family to some extent.

527
00:34:40,969 --> 00:34:45,170
That piece that you did on wanting to
resign as a father, that really hit

528
00:34:45,690 --> 00:34:49,810
Thank you. So I'm not about to make a
reputation for myself as a fearless

529
00:34:49,810 --> 00:34:52,389
prosecutor by sending your family to
various institutions.

530
00:34:52,810 --> 00:34:57,230
That's very nice, Mr. Wicks. Okay, so
why don't you speak to the owner of the

531
00:34:57,230 --> 00:35:00,910
spectrum and see if you can get him to
drop the charges. You tell him it's all

532
00:35:00,910 --> 00:35:01,788
right with me.

533
00:35:01,790 --> 00:35:05,330
Between you and me, I think that the
spectrum enjoys a fight or two

534
00:35:05,330 --> 00:35:07,430
periodically. It gives the place a
reputation.

535
00:35:07,870 --> 00:35:11,290
Oh, that's very nice of you, Mr. Wicks.
Thank you. I'll go over and see him

536
00:35:11,290 --> 00:35:12,290
right now.

537
00:35:12,610 --> 00:35:15,870
Oh, does that include the ADW?

538
00:35:17,190 --> 00:35:18,190
That's a different matter.

539
00:35:18,630 --> 00:35:21,010
The guy who's pressing that charge is
pretty sore.

540
00:35:21,550 --> 00:35:22,550
Excuse the pun.

541
00:35:22,570 --> 00:35:26,450
No, but you see, David swears he never
hit anyone. I believe him, too. He

542
00:35:26,450 --> 00:35:29,070
wouldn't lie to me. Not about something
like that. Those are nice sentiments,

543
00:35:29,250 --> 00:35:31,170
Mr. Bradford, but they're not worth a
thing in court.

544
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:34,380
Now, look, I've got a broken guitar.

545
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:37,980
I've got a guy with a lump on his head.
Now, that's pretty incriminating stuff.

546
00:35:38,720 --> 00:35:42,500
Now, whether I like it or not, I'm going
to have to prosecute your son based on

547
00:35:42,500 --> 00:35:43,500
those charges.

548
00:35:43,720 --> 00:35:45,220
Oh, I see.

549
00:35:46,140 --> 00:35:48,400
Well, then I guess I'll see you in
court.

550
00:35:56,300 --> 00:36:00,340
The way I blew that exam, insane.

551
00:36:01,580 --> 00:36:05,500
Yeah, well, actually, the exam should be
the least of your problems. I knew it

552
00:36:05,500 --> 00:36:09,240
the minute I walked out of that test.
First of all, I hadn't studied. I wasn't

553
00:36:09,240 --> 00:36:10,240
prepared.

554
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:14,620
I figured with all the experience I had
had in construction, I could just wing

555
00:36:14,620 --> 00:36:19,260
it. Yeah, I see. But it's not going to
happen next time because the community

556
00:36:19,260 --> 00:36:21,280
college has a course that prepares you
for the test.

557
00:36:21,780 --> 00:36:22,698
I've enrolled.

558
00:36:22,700 --> 00:36:23,700
I start next week.

559
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:25,820
Oh, well, that's just fine, David.

560
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:29,500
But you better make sure that you can
take this as a correspondence course.

561
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:33,400
I just left the city attorney. He said
that if you're convicted of this assault

562
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:36,060
charge, there's a very good chance you
might wind up in jail.

563
00:36:40,780 --> 00:36:47,780
Do you know that the interest

564
00:36:47,780 --> 00:36:50,080
rates are three times what they were
when I bought the house?

565
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:53,100
Three times. And they act like you're so
lucky to get it.

566
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:56,680
I had this appraiser coming over to the
house later to see if the house was

567
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:57,740
worth $5 ,000.

568
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:01,780
The house is worth ten times that much.

569
00:37:03,180 --> 00:37:04,760
I give better interest rates.

570
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:06,440
Huh?

571
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:11,660
You know, between my teacher's salary
and my pension as an Air Force widow, I

572
00:37:11,660 --> 00:37:15,240
have enough money in my savings to lend
you the entire $5 ,000.

573
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:16,680
I couldn't do that.

574
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:18,420
I don't understand.

575
00:37:19,260 --> 00:37:23,380
Well, I mean, it would be... It could
destroy a friendship.

576
00:37:23,720 --> 00:37:27,120
Borrowing and lending is big business,
and I wouldn't want our friendship to

577
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:29,720
be... supported with a burden like that.

578
00:37:29,980 --> 00:37:34,060
You didn't seem very burdened when you
landed on Nicholas's hotel and needed $5

579
00:37:34,060 --> 00:37:37,400
,000. Come on, Abby, we're not talking
about play money.

580
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:39,760
You shouldn't lend friends money.

581
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:43,200
I mean, you either give it to them and
don't expect to get it back, or you just

582
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:44,200
don't offer it.

583
00:37:45,740 --> 00:37:47,500
Okay, I'll give it to you.

584
00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:48,880
I can't take it.

585
00:37:49,380 --> 00:37:53,380
But you just said... I know what I said,
but I can't take money from a woman.

586
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:54,640
A woman?

587
00:37:54,920 --> 00:38:00,180
Oh, all the old -fashioned, male
-dominating, role -playing, pig

588
00:38:00,180 --> 00:38:03,780
Guilty as charged, but I've been old
-fashioned for a long time.

589
00:38:04,020 --> 00:38:05,580
So why change a good thing, right?

590
00:38:06,460 --> 00:38:11,320
I can change, it's just that changes
don't come easily to me.

591
00:38:11,860 --> 00:38:14,000
This last year's been nothing but
changes.

592
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:19,080
But I'm trying, especially now that
we're together, but...

593
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:24,980
Look, just let me try to get my family
out of trouble, and then we'll start to

594
00:38:24,980 --> 00:38:26,100
work on my pigheadedness.

595
00:38:28,180 --> 00:38:29,200
Okay, fair enough.

596
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:38,100
You know, I don't see how, after that
little speech, that you can allow me to

597
00:38:38,100 --> 00:38:39,100
pay this bill.

598
00:38:39,340 --> 00:38:42,140
Well, this might be a good time to stop
being pigheaded.

599
00:38:44,720 --> 00:38:47,120
Nancy, what's the best way to get
arrested?

600
00:38:47,950 --> 00:38:51,090
I don't know. I'm still trying to figure
out how to see the Stevie Wonder

601
00:38:51,090 --> 00:38:54,250
concert without you. I'm talking about
me. How can I get arrested?

602
00:38:54,750 --> 00:38:57,150
Why would you want to know something as
tacky as that?

603
00:38:58,330 --> 00:39:01,310
For school, for charity events, for a
report.

604
00:39:02,210 --> 00:39:03,210
Weird.

605
00:39:04,590 --> 00:39:05,408
Let's see.

606
00:39:05,410 --> 00:39:08,270
Oil shortage, power shortage, water
shortage.

607
00:39:09,330 --> 00:39:10,330
Here's one.

608
00:39:10,650 --> 00:39:12,570
How would you like to be a cat burglar,
Nicholas?

609
00:39:15,850 --> 00:39:16,850
Thanks, Nancy.

610
00:39:16,890 --> 00:39:17,890
It's okay.

611
00:39:18,470 --> 00:39:20,670
Boy, school sure has changed.

612
00:39:21,570 --> 00:39:23,570
Whatever happened to Run Spot Run?

613
00:39:57,320 --> 00:39:58,420
You stay here and be good.

614
00:39:58,840 --> 00:39:59,960
You can take a nap.

615
00:40:00,300 --> 00:40:01,740
I'll be back in a little while.

616
00:40:16,100 --> 00:40:20,320
Next thing I know, I'm laying flat on my
back looking up.

617
00:40:21,240 --> 00:40:25,060
I'm telling you, Ardovia, I ain't never
been blindsided like that before.

618
00:40:25,420 --> 00:40:27,000
And you never even saw the guy?

619
00:40:27,310 --> 00:40:28,470
No, I never did.

620
00:40:29,330 --> 00:40:30,330
But I got his name.

621
00:40:31,030 --> 00:40:33,550
And if I ever do see him, I'm going to
rip one of his arms off.

622
00:40:34,670 --> 00:40:37,810
My name's David Bradford, and I'm
looking for Buff Cody.

623
00:40:45,890 --> 00:40:48,350
Hey, take it easy, mister. You better
make peace with the Lord, because I'm

624
00:40:48,350 --> 00:40:50,790
fixing to rearrange your face. Hey, wait
a minute. I just came in to talk to

625
00:40:50,790 --> 00:40:51,609
you.

626
00:40:51,610 --> 00:40:53,290
You're making a big mistake. I never hit
you.

627
00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:56,280
Oh, you never did, huh? You never did.
Then how come the first thing I saw when

628
00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:59,020
I woke up was you standing over me with
a busted guitar in your hands?

629
00:40:59,380 --> 00:41:02,340
The reason I was standing over you was
to keep the mob from trampling you.

630
00:41:02,900 --> 00:41:04,760
As for the guitar, somebody put their
foot through it.

631
00:41:06,240 --> 00:41:09,260
Do you see that? Do you see that,
mister? That's what busted your dang

632
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:11,040
Where'd you get the black eye?

633
00:41:12,380 --> 00:41:13,380
When I fell.

634
00:41:13,500 --> 00:41:15,280
Well, ever think it could have been the
other way around?

635
00:41:15,820 --> 00:41:18,420
You know, somebody popped you in the
eye, you're blindsided, and you hit your

636
00:41:18,420 --> 00:41:19,420
head when you fell.

637
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:23,240
Because all that's over there is just a
little bitty old red -headed girl

638
00:41:23,240 --> 00:41:24,540
hollering at that loudmouth drunk.

639
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:27,120
Redhead? That's right.

640
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:34,320
Well, isn't it possible that the redhead
might have, uh... You think that's

641
00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:35,320
funny?

642
00:41:36,540 --> 00:41:39,200
You insinuating I might have got dicked
by a girl?

643
00:41:39,620 --> 00:41:40,620
No.

644
00:41:40,820 --> 00:41:43,600
Look, I'm appealing to your sense of
fair play.

645
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:48,740
You have nothing to lose, and at the
moment I have everything to gain.

646
00:41:54,220 --> 00:41:55,220
What you got in mind?

647
00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:57,000
I just think there's someone you ought
to meet.

648
00:42:02,860 --> 00:42:03,860
It's in the garage.

649
00:42:04,060 --> 00:42:04,678
What is?

650
00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:05,519
The cat.

651
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:09,320
After I burglarized it, I put it in the
garage. I'm a cat burglar.

652
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:11,180
Oh, and I fit it some milk.

653
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:15,200
Thirty days till I retire and I get
Dennis the Menace.

654
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:16,660
My name's Nicholas.

655
00:42:17,380 --> 00:42:20,180
Aren't you gonna make me stand over the
wall so you can fist me?

656
00:42:20,860 --> 00:42:21,860
No.

657
00:42:22,420 --> 00:42:24,610
Oh. You're just going to toss me in the
cooler?

658
00:42:25,450 --> 00:42:27,250
Aren't you even going to give me my
rights?

659
00:42:27,710 --> 00:42:28,870
The answer is no.

660
00:42:30,770 --> 00:42:33,090
Kid, why are you so anxious to go to the
joint?

661
00:42:33,350 --> 00:42:34,790
Believe me, it ain't Disneyland.

662
00:42:35,710 --> 00:42:36,710
Come on, kid.

663
00:42:36,870 --> 00:42:37,870
Come clean.

664
00:42:37,970 --> 00:42:38,970
I'll make you a deal.

665
00:42:39,250 --> 00:42:41,610
Tell me the truth, and I'll go easy with
you.

666
00:42:42,630 --> 00:42:44,230
Why did you steal the cat?

667
00:42:44,790 --> 00:42:47,190
So I can be like all my brothers and
sisters.

668
00:42:48,350 --> 00:42:49,910
Your brothers and sisters steal cats?

669
00:42:50,390 --> 00:42:51,930
No, they've all been arrested.

670
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:55,200
And I'm the only one in the whole family
that's never been arrested.

671
00:42:55,660 --> 00:42:58,920
Well, that's something to be proud of.
You're the only one with a clean record.

672
00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:05,440
Okay.

673
00:43:10,820 --> 00:43:11,880
Stick out your mitts.

674
00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:15,660
Your hands, kid. Stick out your hands.

675
00:43:17,700 --> 00:43:19,060
You have the right to remain silent.

676
00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:20,600
You have the right to an attorney.

677
00:43:21,150 --> 00:43:23,410
Cannot afford an attorney. One will be
provided by the court.

678
00:43:30,110 --> 00:43:31,110
No, kid.

679
00:43:31,250 --> 00:43:32,250
Don't smile.

680
00:43:37,910 --> 00:43:38,910
Well,

681
00:43:46,110 --> 00:43:47,110
watch your step, kid.

682
00:43:47,250 --> 00:43:48,410
You got a record now.

683
00:43:48,790 --> 00:43:49,790
Yep.

684
00:43:52,460 --> 00:43:53,680
Now you go to jail.

685
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:14,300
The West better be good. You'll see.

686
00:44:16,740 --> 00:44:20,220
I just want you to meet this little
bitty redhead.

687
00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:23,000
Listen, I know where you're coming from,
Betty, but you're way off base.

688
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:25,040
Won't hurt to try, will it?

689
00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:26,360
Won't hurt me.

690
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:31,220
Nancy, Mary. This is Cody. Cody, Mary,
Nancy.

691
00:44:32,220 --> 00:44:33,800
Yeah? Well, them ain't the girls.

692
00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:35,200
I know.

693
00:44:40,460 --> 00:44:41,460
Oh, excuse me.

694
00:44:41,740 --> 00:44:42,740
Hiya, David.

695
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:45,480
That's the bank appraiser.

696
00:44:46,300 --> 00:44:49,860
Hi, David. How's it work? Been better.
Joni, Elizabeth, this is Buff Cody.

697
00:44:50,300 --> 00:44:51,380
Them ain't the girls either.

698
00:44:51,720 --> 00:44:54,380
Gee, what is this, David? Some kind of
talent search?

699
00:44:55,340 --> 00:44:58,880
David, do you remember the square
footage on this house?

700
00:44:59,340 --> 00:45:00,340
Wait a minute, let me think.

701
00:45:00,740 --> 00:45:02,420
Hello, I'm David's father.

702
00:45:02,740 --> 00:45:03,880
This is Mr. Salmon.

703
00:45:04,540 --> 00:45:07,080
Oh, there, he didn't come down. 3 ,500
square feet?

704
00:45:07,620 --> 00:45:10,100
No, wait, that might be the house we're
building out in Elmcrest.

705
00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:11,520
Where's Susan?

706
00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:13,300
Susan, I think she's in the kitchen.
Susan!

707
00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:18,640
I know this is getting a little nutty,
but... Anybody know where this cat came

708
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:20,040
from? Hey, now, wait a minute there now.

709
00:45:20,740 --> 00:45:22,540
That is the girl I seen the other night.

710
00:45:22,940 --> 00:45:23,940
Right.

711
00:45:24,020 --> 00:45:27,840
Susan, this is Buff Cody, the man
accusing me of assault with a deadly

712
00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:31,160
Buff, my sister, the little Billy
Redhead.

713
00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:36,080
Now, just bear with me and don't ask any
questions, all right? Give me the cat.

714
00:45:36,220 --> 00:45:37,220
Careful.

715
00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:39,400
Now, you just stay there, Buff.

716
00:45:39,660 --> 00:45:40,660
All right,

717
00:45:41,620 --> 00:45:44,640
Susan, we're going to pretend we're back
at the Spectrum, and I'm the drunk

718
00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:45,780
insulting me up on the stage.

719
00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:47,980
Okay, now what do you do? Lead with my
right.

720
00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:49,320
Lead.

721
00:45:49,420 --> 00:45:50,840
David, I'm not going to hit you.

722
00:45:51,220 --> 00:45:52,920
Susan, it's either you or him.

723
00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:54,980
Come on, what are you trying to pull
here, buddy?

724
00:45:55,300 --> 00:45:57,260
Buff, I guarantee it, you'll live
through this.

725
00:45:57,840 --> 00:45:59,120
All right, give me your best shot.

726
00:45:59,700 --> 00:46:00,700
Okay.

727
00:46:06,020 --> 00:46:07,760
Pretty mean little rat you got there,
darling.

728
00:46:08,580 --> 00:46:10,820
I, uh, rest my case.

729
00:46:11,180 --> 00:46:14,100
But I wasn't aiming at you, I was aiming
at David. I mean, I was aiming at the

730
00:46:14,100 --> 00:46:15,240
drunk who was making all the noise.

731
00:46:17,350 --> 00:46:19,870
You're not... Oh, yeah, I am.

732
00:46:20,090 --> 00:46:21,090
You are?

733
00:46:21,270 --> 00:46:22,970
I guess I missed.

734
00:46:23,630 --> 00:46:27,250
I mean, or maybe he ducked and you got
in the way?

735
00:46:28,990 --> 00:46:31,110
Or maybe you leaned in?

736
00:46:33,150 --> 00:46:35,310
Heck, I don't know. I had my eyes
closed.

737
00:46:35,730 --> 00:46:37,230
It's a bad -looking eye.

738
00:46:39,990 --> 00:46:40,990
I'm sorry.

739
00:46:42,830 --> 00:46:44,510
I guess you made your case, buddy.

740
00:46:45,700 --> 00:46:46,700
I'll drop the charges.

741
00:46:47,340 --> 00:46:49,440
You don't happen to get off on samurai
movies, do you?

742
00:46:49,820 --> 00:46:50,820
Pardon me.

743
00:46:50,940 --> 00:46:53,080
Well, thank you for coming by, Mr.

744
00:46:53,300 --> 00:46:56,500
Salomon. No, it's a commotion. What
commotion? I got it.

745
00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:01,180
Hello? Oh, my gosh, what happened to
your eye?

746
00:47:01,460 --> 00:47:03,460
Dad, it's the police station.

747
00:47:03,900 --> 00:47:05,420
They say they have one of your kids
there.

748
00:47:05,700 --> 00:47:06,820
Oh, no, not again.

749
00:47:09,620 --> 00:47:11,340
This time they've got the wrong
Bradford.

750
00:47:11,820 --> 00:47:13,740
Dad, it's Nicola.

751
00:47:14,060 --> 00:47:15,060
Oh, it's Nicola.

752
00:47:15,470 --> 00:47:16,470
Nicholas?

753
00:47:16,710 --> 00:47:17,710
Oh, yeah.

754
00:47:25,550 --> 00:47:29,190
So, then they were going to lock me up,
but they didn't ever hear from my side.

755
00:47:29,550 --> 00:47:31,410
So, that's when they called you.

756
00:47:31,950 --> 00:47:35,050
Well, you know, Nicholas, you can always
go back when you get bigger.

757
00:47:35,790 --> 00:47:38,410
Oh, no way. They don't have television
there.

758
00:47:38,970 --> 00:47:40,250
Thank goodness for television.

759
00:47:40,730 --> 00:47:41,930
Hey, Dad. Dad.

760
00:47:42,310 --> 00:47:44,310
David and I wrote some new lyrics to
this song.

761
00:47:44,690 --> 00:47:45,690
Mm -hmm.

762
00:47:48,049 --> 00:47:53,410
11 .5 % per annum plus, carrying
charges, home insurance, taxes... Out!

763
00:47:54,430 --> 00:47:55,430
Out!

764
00:47:59,230 --> 00:48:04,990
Are they playing at the Elks Club again?
Yeah, they're trying desperately to get

765
00:48:04,990 --> 00:48:08,670
that note paid off before the end of the
year. Excuse me, the two young men they

766
00:48:08,670 --> 00:48:09,670
told me to come in.

767
00:48:09,850 --> 00:48:11,250
I'm Mr. Simon Anowski.

768
00:48:11,740 --> 00:48:13,700
Oh, yes, of course, the man from the
bank.

769
00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:15,440
Abby, I want you to meet Mr.

770
00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:17,440
Samovar. How do you do?

771
00:48:19,100 --> 00:48:20,580
Look, we have a little problem here.

772
00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:25,640
You've listed 12 rooms in this house,
but according to my list, there's only

773
00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:27,480
Really?

774
00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:28,760
That's funny.

775
00:48:29,700 --> 00:48:30,700
Well, no.

776
00:48:31,260 --> 00:48:33,320
Huh, that's funny. I'd better go check.

777
00:48:37,140 --> 00:48:39,800
Did you count the bathrooms?

778
00:48:42,120 --> 00:48:45,240
So, Nicholas, do you still feel left
out?

779
00:48:45,540 --> 00:48:49,180
No, but that's it. I always have to
remember I'm an important part of the

780
00:48:49,180 --> 00:48:52,880
family. But sometimes I get...
Overlooked.

781
00:48:53,180 --> 00:48:55,040
Yeah, well, that's the word.

782
00:48:55,300 --> 00:48:57,000
Did you count the laundry room?

783
00:48:57,320 --> 00:48:58,320
Yes.

784
00:49:00,140 --> 00:49:03,300
You won't believe this. Now we can only
find ten rooms.

785
00:49:03,940 --> 00:49:05,060
Somebody took one.

786
00:49:08,580 --> 00:49:10,580
Don't look at me. I didn't take one.

787
00:49:11,890 --> 00:49:14,850
Boy, get a record and everybody will
pick on you.
