1
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:13,020
Thank you.

2
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:33,940
Don't the old hag know it's Christmas
Eve?

3
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:35,640
Nah, it's just another night to her.

4
00:01:36,420 --> 00:01:38,200
Well, only two minutes left to go.

5
00:01:44,820 --> 00:01:45,820
Ten o 'clock.

6
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,480
Another hour in the homicide squad. I'd
be asking my legs for killing me.

7
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,000
Mine murdered me two hours ago. I'm
dead.

8
00:01:52,740 --> 00:01:56,080
J .J. Benson doesn't know it, but she's
going to give her annual Christmas

9
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:57,400
speech to a zombie.

10
00:01:57,940 --> 00:02:00,060
Curfew never rings at Madam Benson's.

11
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,740
It just goes on and on and on.

12
00:02:03,940 --> 00:02:06,740
If this clam bake doesn't get started
soon, I'll scream.

13
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:08,539
I've got a date with my father.

14
00:02:08,860 --> 00:02:11,740
A wise baby that knows his own father,
baby. With your mind, you should be

15
00:02:11,740 --> 00:02:13,240
writing publicity for a peep show.

16
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:14,680
What do you think this is?

17
00:02:14,940 --> 00:02:18,280
What makes you a privileged character?
Why don't you have to wait for J .J.'s

18
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,460
speech? I celebrated my Christmas last
week. Had Roosevelt move it up for me.

19
00:02:21,640 --> 00:02:23,160
You're not leaving, are you, Mr.
Chambers?

20
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,620
My dear Miss Keating. You know very well
no one's allowed to leave until Mr.

21
00:02:26,700 --> 00:02:28,140
Benson has addressed the personnel.

22
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:29,740
Not even you, Mr. Chambers.

23
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,000
Miss Keating, you've been J .J.'s junior
secretary for two weeks, and you're

24
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:34,000
getting to talk like her.

25
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,800
You can tell her for me to make a
recording of that speech, and I'll have

26
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,020
sealed in the cornerstone of Kaminsky's
fish market.

27
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,220
Merry Christmas, Madame Benson.

28
00:02:44,380 --> 00:02:45,400
Merry Christmas to you.

29
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:57,740
Ladies and gentlemen, may I introduce
your and my beloved employer, who has

30
00:02:57,740 --> 00:02:58,740
usual butt?

31
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:03,420
never to be forgotten Christmas cheer
for you. Madam J .J. Benson.

32
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:04,800
Here we go again.

33
00:03:05,020 --> 00:03:08,100
My dear fellow workers, ladies and
gentlemen.

34
00:03:08,300 --> 00:03:11,460
My dear fellow workers, ladies and
gentlemen. I shall not bore you with a

35
00:03:11,460 --> 00:03:15,360
lengthy oration. I shall not bore you
with a lengthy oration. First, last, and

36
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:20,740
always, I believe in hard work. First,
last, and always, I believe in hard

37
00:03:21,340 --> 00:03:26,820
How well I remember in the 90s the white
lace gown created by this firm for the

38
00:03:26,820 --> 00:03:28,040
first lady of the land.

39
00:03:28,540 --> 00:03:30,880
I was, of course, a mere child of 30.

40
00:03:31,140 --> 00:03:33,700
I was, of course, a mere child at the
time.

41
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:41,060
And just as that honor inspired us then,
may we now be inspired by...

42
00:03:41,060 --> 00:03:44,960
Miss Manahan, you were discharged this
morning. What are you doing here?

43
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,280
I was just wishing everybody a Merry
Christmas.

44
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:51,080
I've worked with these girls five years.
Three years as a married woman.

45
00:03:51,820 --> 00:03:53,000
Distinctly against my rule.

46
00:03:53,260 --> 00:03:54,260
A rank deception.

47
00:03:54,730 --> 00:03:58,310
I'm sorry. You are no longer an
employee, and if you are a customer, you

48
00:03:58,310 --> 00:03:59,470
have left the store at ten.

49
00:03:59,710 --> 00:04:03,570
Sorry. And thanks, Madam Benson, for a
very Merry Christmas.

50
00:04:04,550 --> 00:04:06,830
May we all continue to work in harmony.

51
00:04:07,090 --> 00:04:09,510
And my sincere wishes for a Merry
Christmas.

52
00:04:10,210 --> 00:04:13,670
And... an industrious New Year.

53
00:04:40,270 --> 00:04:41,710
Throw me my robe, will you, darling?

54
00:04:43,830 --> 00:04:45,590
Thanks. Almost forgot.

55
00:04:46,410 --> 00:04:47,550
Merry Christmas, darling.

56
00:04:47,830 --> 00:04:48,830
Oh, Fred.

57
00:04:49,050 --> 00:04:52,230
Didn't we promise not to buy each other
any Christmas presents this year?

58
00:04:52,590 --> 00:04:53,590
That's not fair.

59
00:04:54,750 --> 00:04:57,270
What is it?

60
00:04:57,930 --> 00:04:59,270
Here, I'll show you.

61
00:05:01,290 --> 00:05:02,850
A bank.

62
00:05:03,130 --> 00:05:04,430
Oh, Freddy, it's beautiful.

63
00:05:05,370 --> 00:05:07,610
Reminds me, I won 30 cents in a craft
game today.

64
00:05:07,850 --> 00:05:08,850
Well, hand it over.

65
00:05:09,460 --> 00:05:12,220
Maybe our luck is changing. I used my
own dice.

66
00:05:12,660 --> 00:05:13,660
Shame on you.

67
00:05:13,740 --> 00:05:16,140
But I'm sure the stork won't object.

68
00:05:17,300 --> 00:05:19,600
I asked for a soprano.

69
00:05:20,060 --> 00:05:21,940
That thing's got a voice like a train
announcer.

70
00:05:22,340 --> 00:05:24,520
The neighbors will know how he stands
for a dime.

71
00:05:24,780 --> 00:05:27,040
Well, is it any disgrace to say for a
baby?

72
00:05:28,860 --> 00:05:32,360
Is this around? We can afford to have
little Josephine in no time.

73
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,860
Joseph. Please, darling, if you have any
influence at all, Joseph.

74
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:38,640
Josephine.

75
00:05:39,060 --> 00:05:40,060
Joseph.

76
00:05:40,980 --> 00:05:43,480
Josephine. You wouldn't settle for
twins?

77
00:05:43,780 --> 00:05:45,080
No, not at these prices.

78
00:05:46,220 --> 00:05:47,220
Special delivery.

79
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:48,360
Special delivery.

80
00:05:48,580 --> 00:05:50,280
I've got a feeling that you're Uncle
George.

81
00:05:50,540 --> 00:05:51,760
Why Uncle George?

82
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:55,240
Because the feeling I have is a thinking
one.

83
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,800
Anyway, it couldn't be for much money.
This memory would have sent us tumbling.

84
00:06:00,140 --> 00:06:01,140
Collect.

85
00:06:01,740 --> 00:06:03,440
Seven cents postage due.

86
00:06:03,840 --> 00:06:04,840
It's Uncle George.

87
00:06:05,780 --> 00:06:07,100
Sorry to give you all that in pennies.

88
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:08,559
I got paid today.

89
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:10,940
I get it, I get it. I request it.

90
00:06:12,380 --> 00:06:13,400
Well, we're pretty lucky.

91
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:14,640
He only wants $35.

92
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:16,019
What for?

93
00:06:16,020 --> 00:06:17,520
He says we wouldn't be interested.

94
00:06:18,060 --> 00:06:20,780
Well, if he wants $35, you'll take $15.
We'll give him $10.

95
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:23,580
You think we can afford even that?

96
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:27,400
No, we can't. But I suppose it's better
than having him live with us.

97
00:06:29,260 --> 00:06:30,460
Well, let's see.

98
00:06:32,140 --> 00:06:33,780
Yoo -hoo! Mrs. Chambers!

99
00:06:34,060 --> 00:06:35,060
Yes, Mrs. Everett.

100
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,980
You must convince me of Christmas before
you go out tonight, Mrs. Chambers.

101
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,440
We're depending on you. And don't you
disappoint us. No, we won't.

102
00:06:42,700 --> 00:06:44,340
No, that's right. Don't you disappoint
us.

103
00:07:10,359 --> 00:07:13,600
$235. Tend Uncle George makes $225.

104
00:07:15,180 --> 00:07:18,520
Why don't we start the new year right
and ask Bob Benson for a raise?

105
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,000
We'd better leave well enough alone.

106
00:07:20,460 --> 00:07:23,000
Let us expect we're married and we'll
both be out of jobs.

107
00:07:23,660 --> 00:07:27,180
At that rate, it'll be ten years before
we can have a baby.

108
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:29,700
Someday I'll say so.

109
00:07:31,060 --> 00:07:34,640
You could have been ten years old today
instead of three if it hadn't been for

110
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:35,640
you, Uncle George.

111
00:07:35,940 --> 00:07:38,340
According to the home economic page in
the mirror,

112
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,740
You can have the baby very nicely for
$500.

113
00:07:42,980 --> 00:07:44,160
General says $400.

114
00:07:45,020 --> 00:07:48,340
$500, $400. What loss is we got to have
that kind of money? Babies are born

115
00:07:48,340 --> 00:07:51,020
every day without it and they manage to
grow into good men and women. Look at

116
00:07:51,020 --> 00:07:54,280
me. All my father had was the will and a
chest full of hair.

117
00:07:54,580 --> 00:07:57,000
Darling. You were tired.

118
00:07:59,540 --> 00:08:00,540
Oh, yeah.

119
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:06,800
I want a baby because they smell so
nice.

120
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:17,040
She'll be so soft and gentle and so
beautiful. People will look at her and

121
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:21,900
her parents must love each other very
much.

122
00:08:26,780 --> 00:08:29,680
Gosh, if we're going to that Christmas
show, we ought to get started.

123
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:31,000
Yeah.

124
00:08:31,740 --> 00:08:33,120
I'm told it's a great show.

125
00:08:34,419 --> 00:08:35,600
I'm dying to see it.

126
00:08:37,299 --> 00:08:38,440
There's a lot of good there.

127
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,500
Get dressed up and get out once in a
while.

128
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:43,760
Mm -hmm.

129
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:44,880
Change your scenery.

130
00:08:45,700 --> 00:08:47,720
Paint the town. Do it right.

131
00:08:49,460 --> 00:08:50,460
You bet.

132
00:08:59,380 --> 00:09:00,380
Hello?

133
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:05,080
Hello. Pardon me, but I had an
appointment with... Pardon me.

134
00:09:06,300 --> 00:09:07,440
Madam Benson's office.

135
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:09,460
Yes, there's plenty of time, sir.

136
00:09:09,740 --> 00:09:10,719
For that?

137
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:11,720
Uh -huh.

138
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:13,199
It's a coat.

139
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:14,200
Uh -huh.

140
00:09:15,180 --> 00:09:16,180
Uh -huh.

141
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:18,200
Well, I know.

142
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:20,600
Uh -huh.

143
00:09:24,620 --> 00:09:25,620
Uh -huh.

144
00:09:25,980 --> 00:09:27,360
4 .30 will be all right.

145
00:09:27,660 --> 00:09:28,660
Yes.

146
00:09:28,940 --> 00:09:29,940
Goodbye.

147
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:32,380
Elementary, my dear Watson.

148
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:34,300
Do you do this sort of thing
professionally?

149
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,220
Or just Sunday school treats and Boy
Scout things?

150
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:38,359
Heaven forbid.

151
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:39,360
Well, then why do you do it?

152
00:09:39,710 --> 00:09:41,770
Well, into the jungle. Makes friends
with the natives.

153
00:09:42,450 --> 00:09:43,870
Oh, that's an important paper.

154
00:09:44,390 --> 00:09:45,390
Oh, is it? Yeah.

155
00:09:45,550 --> 00:09:48,390
When I finish with it, it'll all be in
one piece again.

156
00:09:48,610 --> 00:09:51,990
If it works out the way the man said.
Now, you fold it over here.

157
00:09:53,130 --> 00:09:55,150
And, uh, like this.

158
00:09:55,950 --> 00:09:57,830
And you fold it over like that.

159
00:09:58,190 --> 00:10:00,930
Now, da -pa -pa -da -pa -pa -dee -na.

160
00:10:01,350 --> 00:10:02,350
Magic.

161
00:10:03,470 --> 00:10:04,470
Nervous?

162
00:10:04,910 --> 00:10:05,910
No cause for alarm.

163
00:10:10,700 --> 00:10:12,040
Never came out like this before.

164
00:10:13,140 --> 00:10:14,140
Yes,

165
00:10:14,860 --> 00:10:15,679
Madam Benson?

166
00:10:15,680 --> 00:10:18,660
Where is he? Where is that worthless son
of mine? Are you Mr.

167
00:10:18,860 --> 00:10:19,860
Benson? Mr.

168
00:10:19,900 --> 00:10:23,580
Ralph Vivian Benson? Yeah, Vivian's for
an old lad of mine. She lost her shirt

169
00:10:23,580 --> 00:10:24,800
in 29.

170
00:10:25,620 --> 00:10:26,760
Right away, Madam Benson.

171
00:10:27,660 --> 00:10:29,080
Your mother's waiting for you.

172
00:10:30,060 --> 00:10:30,819
Oh, yes.

173
00:10:30,820 --> 00:10:31,820
Mother.

174
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:33,300
Get on with that one, Hootie.

175
00:10:35,540 --> 00:10:36,540
Hello, darling.

176
00:10:36,740 --> 00:10:38,800
Oh, darling me, you young wastrel.

177
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:43,660
You bankless whelp, you shameless
squanderer. Oh, get away. You smell like

178
00:10:43,660 --> 00:10:47,280
10th Avenue bar room. Park Avenue,
darling. I'm still a Benson. A Benson

179
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:48,900
know the meaning of industry and
dignity.

180
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:50,320
Now, what about these?

181
00:10:50,340 --> 00:10:52,640
Three checks overdrawn in the last four
days.

182
00:10:53,060 --> 00:10:55,680
You're failing, old girl. Four checks in
three days.

183
00:10:55,940 --> 00:10:58,740
Ralph, Vivian Benson, there's only one
thing left to do with you. You're going

184
00:10:58,740 --> 00:10:59,679
to work.

185
00:10:59,680 --> 00:11:03,300
No, no. Not that. Right here in this
office where I can keep my eye on you.

186
00:11:03,380 --> 00:11:05,580
But... Not another word out of you.
You're going to work.

187
00:11:05,860 --> 00:11:07,720
But... Do you think it's quite decent?

188
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,110
Decent? Am I going to work, I mean?

189
00:11:10,390 --> 00:11:11,390
Making more money?

190
00:11:12,010 --> 00:11:13,270
We have so much now.

191
00:11:13,570 --> 00:11:17,670
You won't be making any more money, my
boy. Merely earning what you get.

192
00:11:18,230 --> 00:11:22,150
Mother, these are changing times. Great
fortunes must no longer be accumulated.

193
00:11:22,550 --> 00:11:24,250
Are you attempting to bore from within?

194
00:11:24,650 --> 00:11:27,010
No, I'm just in favor of keeping the
money in circulation.

195
00:11:27,390 --> 00:11:28,189
Don't worry.

196
00:11:28,190 --> 00:11:30,610
Better minds than yours at Washington
are taking care of that.

197
00:11:31,530 --> 00:11:33,030
It will be kept in circulation.

198
00:11:34,990 --> 00:11:35,990
Yes, Madam Benson?

199
00:11:36,190 --> 00:11:38,310
Miss Keating, this is my son, Ralph
Vivian Benson.

200
00:11:38,590 --> 00:11:39,469
How do you do?

201
00:11:39,470 --> 00:11:42,670
Miss Keating, my son is joining our
staff. I would appreciate it if you

202
00:11:42,670 --> 00:11:44,870
impart to him the rudiments of
conventional office routines.

203
00:11:45,210 --> 00:11:46,109
I beg your pardon?

204
00:11:46,110 --> 00:11:48,690
I would like you to become his secretary
until further notice.

205
00:11:48,970 --> 00:11:51,610
We will put Mr. Benson into poor old Mr.

206
00:11:52,010 --> 00:11:54,870
Oglethorpe's old office. The one that
Mr. Chambers has been using for his

207
00:11:54,870 --> 00:11:55,870
advertising layout?

208
00:11:55,910 --> 00:11:59,310
Mr. Chambers can move his spring
advertising layout back into his own

209
00:11:59,950 --> 00:12:03,550
Now, as to my son's title, we will call
him Manager of Exploitation.

210
00:12:04,090 --> 00:12:05,750
As you will discover, he has ideas.

211
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:07,840
But what about Mr. Chambers?

212
00:12:08,540 --> 00:12:12,020
Isn't he supposed to be... I doubt if
Ralph will offer him serious

213
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:16,060
In fact, if Ralph acts as a sort of
catalytic agent to Mr.

214
00:12:16,260 --> 00:12:18,700
Chambers' efficiency, I shall be more
than gratified.

215
00:12:19,260 --> 00:12:23,380
Mother, I can't tell you how I
appreciate this chance. After the way

216
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:24,359
it's white of you.

217
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:25,259
Pure white.

218
00:12:25,260 --> 00:12:27,080
And I'm going to make good, too, J .J.

219
00:12:27,340 --> 00:12:29,980
I'm going to hit the line on my toes
with my nose to the grindstone.

220
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,760
I'm going to... You're going to get out
of here. I'm busy.

221
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:34,120
Yes, Mother.

222
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:41,720
Doesn't mother a dinger?

223
00:12:42,180 --> 00:12:43,720
Catalytic agent. What do you suppose
that is?

224
00:12:43,940 --> 00:12:45,420
It's the thing that makes something else
work.

225
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:46,880
Without working itself.

226
00:12:47,340 --> 00:12:49,720
Oh, is it? Under those conditions, I
accept the job.

227
00:12:49,980 --> 00:12:50,879
Here it is.

228
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:51,839
Poor Mr.

229
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:52,840
Oglethorpe's old office.

230
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,060
Ah, yes. The home away from home.

231
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:57,280
Hello, Oglethorpe.

232
00:12:58,060 --> 00:13:01,100
Well, you're quite a young man, aren't
you? The way they spoke, I pictured you

233
00:13:01,100 --> 00:13:02,180
with a long white beard.

234
00:13:02,680 --> 00:13:04,700
Oglethorpe. This is Mr. Chambers, Mr.
Benson.

235
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,280
Mr. Oglethorpe passed away six months
ago.

236
00:13:08,890 --> 00:13:11,470
Well, that's one on me. That's one on
Oglethorpe.

237
00:13:12,030 --> 00:13:14,750
So you're Chambers, eh? Miss Keating
tells me you're very competent.

238
00:13:14,950 --> 00:13:17,510
Thank you. That's most kind of Miss
Keating. Miss Keating is also very

239
00:13:17,510 --> 00:13:18,790
competent. Thank you. Thank you.

240
00:13:19,270 --> 00:13:21,990
Ah, this will never do. You've got the
place looking like a slop shop.

241
00:13:22,330 --> 00:13:23,330
Horrible. Horrible.

242
00:13:23,450 --> 00:13:24,450
But we needed simplicity.

243
00:13:24,710 --> 00:13:25,710
Absolute simplicity.

244
00:13:25,810 --> 00:13:27,810
Would you please tell me what you're
trying to do to my office?

245
00:13:28,310 --> 00:13:29,310
Sorry, my office.

246
00:13:29,450 --> 00:13:32,410
Mr. Benson has just started to work for
the firm, Mr. Chambers.

247
00:13:33,610 --> 00:13:34,610
I see.

248
00:13:34,949 --> 00:13:38,050
Well, look, don't strain yourself. I'll
get the office boy to take my junk out

249
00:13:38,050 --> 00:13:38,849
of here. Good.

250
00:13:38,850 --> 00:13:41,270
If you don't mind, Miss Keating, I'd
like you to take a letter. Would you get

251
00:13:41,270 --> 00:13:41,949
your book, please?

252
00:13:41,950 --> 00:13:43,650
Oh, sorry. Miss Kay is my personal
secretary.

253
00:13:43,970 --> 00:13:44,970
Couldn't possibly spare her.

254
00:13:45,150 --> 00:13:47,090
Perhaps it's lunchtime, Mr. Chambers.

255
00:13:47,810 --> 00:13:50,350
Lunch? That was the old Benson. No
lunch.

256
00:13:50,730 --> 00:13:51,730
Work right through.

257
00:13:52,090 --> 00:13:53,450
We'll have a tray sent in from Pierre's.

258
00:13:53,910 --> 00:13:55,570
Shove along, will you, Oglethorpe? So
much to do.

259
00:14:03,690 --> 00:14:07,230
Would you pop up on this couch and get
that picture down before I break out in

260
00:14:07,230 --> 00:14:08,230
five?

261
00:14:13,730 --> 00:14:14,750
Take your time, Miss Kitty.

262
00:14:16,770 --> 00:14:21,390
Oh, a boy's best friend is his mother.

263
00:14:39,850 --> 00:14:40,850
How long do you boil eggs?

264
00:14:41,050 --> 00:14:42,430
What do you want them for, Mr.

265
00:14:42,650 --> 00:14:43,650
Chambers?

266
00:14:43,850 --> 00:14:45,530
To eat, Mrs. Everett.

267
00:14:45,750 --> 00:14:46,810
Soft or hard boiled?

268
00:14:47,230 --> 00:14:49,110
Five to six minutes if you want them
hard.

269
00:14:49,690 --> 00:14:51,410
And put some vinegar in the water.

270
00:14:51,610 --> 00:14:52,950
Thank you, Mrs. Everett.

271
00:15:13,710 --> 00:15:15,090
Make an honest woman of me, please.

272
00:15:21,290 --> 00:15:22,189
What's wrong?

273
00:15:22,190 --> 00:15:22,969
Oh, nothing.

274
00:15:22,970 --> 00:15:24,350
You can't pull your maw.

275
00:15:24,970 --> 00:15:25,970
It's burning.

276
00:15:25,990 --> 00:15:26,990
I am.

277
00:15:27,030 --> 00:15:29,930
Once, just once these last few weeks,
you might have come home on time.

278
00:15:30,130 --> 00:15:33,430
Oh, don't scold, darling. Just before
Benson left the office, he told me to

279
00:15:33,430 --> 00:15:34,530
the tailor about his ski suit.

280
00:15:34,770 --> 00:15:36,810
The line was busy for an hour. I thought
I'd go mad.

281
00:15:37,190 --> 00:15:39,750
Of course, Mr. Benson's rompers are more
important than my dinner.

282
00:15:39,970 --> 00:15:41,390
How long have these been around the
house?

283
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:44,220
Oh, that's the vinegar you smell. Don't
you know how to boil eggs?

284
00:15:44,500 --> 00:15:47,540
You big galoop. You're only supposed to
use a few drops of this.

285
00:15:48,060 --> 00:15:50,440
And some of it has soured that sweet
pussy of yours.

286
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:52,080
Come on, now.

287
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:53,019
Tell us.

288
00:15:53,020 --> 00:15:54,020
What's the matter with you?

289
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,420
You know, if your husband were half a
man, he'd quit his job.

290
00:15:56,660 --> 00:15:57,660
J .J.? Yeah.

291
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:00,900
Walked in this afternoon, gave the old
shrew an idea that's worth at least $100

292
00:16:00,900 --> 00:16:01,859
,000 a year.

293
00:16:01,860 --> 00:16:04,060
Yeah? I wanted her to sell perfume with
her clothes.

294
00:16:04,260 --> 00:16:05,580
Had the whole campaign all mapped out.

295
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,760
Wear perfume to match your dress again.
You know how those names are. I could

296
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:09,760
buy anything.

297
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:13,740
Idly, she wanted to know if I thought
her customers smell bad. You didn't tell

298
00:16:13,740 --> 00:16:15,440
her they smelled a high heaven or
something and get fired.

299
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,440
I didn't even get past the first
sentence. She just refused to listen to

300
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:22,020
Mumbled something about my having too
many ideas and not enough good ones and

301
00:16:22,020 --> 00:16:24,380
walked out. Oh, well, she's a pompous
old lady.

302
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:28,640
Don't you worry. I think it's a
wonderful idea and I'm proud of you.

303
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:32,360
Someday you'll... Here's a letter for
me. Why don't you say something about

304
00:16:33,219 --> 00:16:34,660
Oh, it's from Uncle George.

305
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,640
Well, be strong. Tear it up. If you
never know what, then it will save at

306
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:40,520
ten bucks, and your conscience won't
hurt you. Well, you're probably right,

307
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:42,380
you don't know what you're asking of a
woman.

308
00:16:44,940 --> 00:16:46,580
Well, you're a whole fun philosopher.

309
00:16:47,180 --> 00:16:50,460
Uncle George has started paying off.
Here's a check for 25 bucks.

310
00:16:54,100 --> 00:16:55,260
I don't believe it. Let me see it.

311
00:16:56,020 --> 00:16:58,520
$25 for the baby fund that would have
been gone if I'd listened to you.

312
00:16:58,780 --> 00:16:59,780
Mrs. Chambers?

313
00:16:59,900 --> 00:17:00,900
Yes, Mrs. Debra?

314
00:17:00,990 --> 00:17:04,010
Mr. Everett wants to know if you and Mr.
Chambers will come to the concert with

315
00:17:04,010 --> 00:17:05,010
us. Hmm? Hmm.

316
00:17:05,430 --> 00:17:06,609
We'd love it. Fine.

317
00:17:07,030 --> 00:17:09,130
Mr. Everett wants to know if he should
get the ticket.

318
00:17:09,369 --> 00:17:12,530
No, indeed, Mrs. Everett. You took us
last time. Tonight, everything's on us.

319
00:17:13,910 --> 00:17:15,130
Telegram from Mrs. Chambers.

320
00:17:18,210 --> 00:17:19,230
Thirty -five cents. Collect.

321
00:17:19,910 --> 00:17:22,470
Well, shall I tear it up? No, no. I'll
tell your favorite lady.

322
00:17:22,750 --> 00:17:23,750
Hiya. Keep the change.

323
00:17:23,790 --> 00:17:24,790
Thank you.

324
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:33,740
Please destroy check. No funds in bank.
Letter follows. Uncle George.

325
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,020
This is the only way to hear music.
Perfect reproduction.

326
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:57,780
Just like being in the first row.

327
00:17:58,020 --> 00:17:59,020
Yeah, that's right.

328
00:17:59,100 --> 00:18:02,460
And the fact that concert tickets cost
$2 a piece has nothing to do with the

329
00:18:02,460 --> 00:18:03,399
case at all.

330
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:04,900
I understand perfectly.

331
00:18:12,220 --> 00:18:13,220
Isn't it lovely?

332
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:17,380
Mr. Brahms must have adored his children
to compose such beautiful music.

333
00:18:18,260 --> 00:18:21,440
I'll bet he didn't have to fuss and
campaign for five years before he got

334
00:18:21,700 --> 00:18:22,800
What are you mumbling about?

335
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:26,900
I said I bet that when the Brahmses
wanted a baby, they just went ahead and

336
00:18:26,900 --> 00:18:29,700
one. Cost of living was cheaper in those
days.

337
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:35,040
I also have a hunch that Mr. Brahms
managed to provide for Mrs. Brahms all

338
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:39,680
himself. If you knew anything at all
about music, you'd know there was no

339
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,540
Brahms. Please, children, the music.

340
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:42,260
You like the music?

341
00:19:42,460 --> 00:19:46,160
Oh, it was beautiful, Mr. Dominic. Just
beautiful. Oh, that's fine.

342
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:48,040
Then you're going to buy the record?

343
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:50,700
We certainly are, Dominic. Just as soon
as we get a phonograph.

344
00:19:50,940 --> 00:19:51,940
Oh, really?

345
00:19:52,900 --> 00:19:54,940
You hadn't even got a phonograph?

346
00:19:55,540 --> 00:20:01,780
Mr. Dominic, may we hear a box air for
the G string played by Misha Ellman?

347
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:03,720
Sure.

348
00:20:03,980 --> 00:20:04,980
Sure.

349
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:06,600
Anything you like.

350
00:20:07,110 --> 00:20:10,750
Maybe you would like to eat spaghetti
and some wine while you're listening to

351
00:20:10,750 --> 00:20:11,549
the music.

352
00:20:11,550 --> 00:20:12,610
With meat sauce?

353
00:20:13,110 --> 00:20:15,450
Yes. With meat sauce.

354
00:20:16,570 --> 00:20:18,010
Dominic, that's awfully nice of you.

355
00:20:18,890 --> 00:20:20,390
It's nice of me.

356
00:20:21,170 --> 00:20:25,650
Then go down to the restaurant. It's two
doors down the street. Go in there. Go

357
00:20:25,650 --> 00:20:26,650
in there.

358
00:20:28,070 --> 00:20:29,670
You can finish dressing in the subway.

359
00:20:29,930 --> 00:20:30,990
We're 12 minutes late now.

360
00:20:34,170 --> 00:20:35,450
Mrs. Fred Chambers.

361
00:20:36,910 --> 00:20:38,290
Happy birthday from Mr.

362
00:20:38,730 --> 00:20:41,670
Brownstone, darling. How sweet of you to
remember. I'd forgotten all about it.

363
00:20:41,890 --> 00:20:43,310
I have an insurance team to do on your
birthday.

364
00:20:43,530 --> 00:20:44,770
They always send me a reminder.

365
00:20:45,070 --> 00:20:46,130
Oh, they're beautiful.

366
00:20:46,490 --> 00:20:47,750
Yeah, just to keep you out of trouble.

367
00:20:48,130 --> 00:20:50,190
I'll smell so good all day I won't be
able to bear it.

368
00:20:52,410 --> 00:20:53,410
Oh, Fred.

369
00:20:53,910 --> 00:20:54,910
What? Look.

370
00:20:57,530 --> 00:21:00,290
What does he want around here? I don't
know, but I'll get rid of him. You wait

371
00:21:00,290 --> 00:21:01,290
here.

372
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:06,580
Good morning, Miss Keating. Good
morning, Mr. Benson. Bus now leaving for

373
00:21:06,580 --> 00:21:09,880
Benson. But really, Mr. Benson... Oh,
happy birthday and all that sort of

374
00:21:10,100 --> 00:21:12,860
How do you know it was my birthday? I
get around. It's common talk along the

375
00:21:12,860 --> 00:21:15,660
waterfront. Oh, really, Mr. Benson? The
subway's so much faster. Oh, come, come,

376
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:17,160
Miss Keating. We'll be late to work. Oh,
Mr. Benson.

377
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:25,300
Well? Well, it's about time you got in.

378
00:21:25,540 --> 00:21:28,720
I want you to explain why we stand to
lose our biggest account in Los Angeles.

379
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,830
What? We'll cancel all orders unless
shipments made this week arrive in

380
00:21:31,830 --> 00:21:33,690
LaGuardia Airport today. Irene Wells.

381
00:21:33,890 --> 00:21:34,890
Well, say something.

382
00:21:35,110 --> 00:21:38,490
Well, I... Ralph, you took the order
yourself, didn't you? Of course I did.

383
00:21:38,810 --> 00:21:41,030
Didn't I? Yes, Madam Benson. April 6th.

384
00:21:41,310 --> 00:21:45,490
Well, Milo? But I told you, Madam
Benson, they delayed shipping the

385
00:21:45,490 --> 00:21:50,030
a month. Oh, stop quacking your mouth.
But... How I've stood you for 18 years

386
00:21:50,030 --> 00:21:54,630
beyond me. But... Go on. Go on. Do
something about it. But... Yes, Madam

387
00:21:56,190 --> 00:21:58,230
Nothing to do now but to undo the harm.

388
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,040
Ralph, you'll take Irene Wells to dinner
and the theater.

389
00:22:01,260 --> 00:22:02,239
Spare nothing.

390
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:03,240
Now, really, Mother?

391
00:22:03,420 --> 00:22:06,260
More business is transacted on dance
floors than at desks.

392
00:22:06,580 --> 00:22:09,660
And be careful of Miss Wells, Ralph.
She's an ex -follies girl who found she

393
00:22:09,660 --> 00:22:11,240
could make more money in clothes than
out of them.

394
00:22:11,940 --> 00:22:13,440
Get her goodwill. Nothing more.

395
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:16,540
Mother, I don't think Irene Wells is my
job.

396
00:22:16,780 --> 00:22:19,780
Not your job? Why, you've been sitting
around here doing practically nothing.

397
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:21,200
Oh, no, Mother. Thinking.

398
00:22:21,540 --> 00:22:22,960
Thinking. Thinking what?

399
00:22:24,380 --> 00:22:27,220
Ideas. What ideas? When did you ever get
an idea?

400
00:22:29,219 --> 00:22:33,060
Only this morning I had an idea. That
is, we had an idea.

401
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:37,240
You have it all in your book, haven't
you, Miss Keating? You know, the perfume

402
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:41,400
idea. Oh, yes, certainly. I remember
very clearly.

403
00:22:42,020 --> 00:22:45,560
You said it would definitely pay Benson
and Company to sell perfume to match each

404
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:51,280
gown. For instance, with crinolines,
westeria, or lilac. With the sport

405
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:52,880
heather. That's right.

406
00:22:53,140 --> 00:22:55,060
And with a nightgown, new moon hay.

407
00:22:55,460 --> 00:22:58,550
And with the... Stockings and girdles,
just plain forget -me -nots.

408
00:22:58,790 --> 00:22:59,629
Get it, Mother?

409
00:22:59,630 --> 00:23:02,950
My boy, I really think you have
something. I felicitate you. Oh, now,

410
00:23:03,030 --> 00:23:06,450
it's as much Miss Keating's idea as it
is mine. Madam Benson, it really isn't

411
00:23:06,450 --> 00:23:10,050
idea at all. I'm sure you had a hand in
it. You have a very good head, my dear.

412
00:23:10,070 --> 00:23:10,889
I'm grateful.

413
00:23:10,890 --> 00:23:14,030
But really, Madam Benson... Now, now,
we're all working to the same end,

414
00:23:14,030 --> 00:23:15,550
we? Teamwork, esprit de corps.

415
00:23:16,470 --> 00:23:19,410
And get to work on that idea
immediately. We'll have a confidence at

416
00:23:19,410 --> 00:23:21,170
earliest possible moment. My son.

417
00:23:21,830 --> 00:23:24,770
Miss Keating, whose birthday is this?
Yours or mine?

418
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:36,520
This is J .P. Mormont.

419
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:38,620
Don't you think you've done enough for
one day?

420
00:23:38,980 --> 00:23:41,440
Oh, this is the last one. My dear Mrs.
Mormont.

421
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:55,040
I wish you'll be here to serve you.

422
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:58,260
To Benson's office, Miss Keating
speaking.

423
00:23:58,600 --> 00:23:59,600
What's going on in there?

424
00:24:00,620 --> 00:24:03,440
But of course, madam. The delivery will
be made on time.

425
00:24:04,030 --> 00:24:06,290
Cut out the double talk. How long do you
think I can stand this?

426
00:24:06,830 --> 00:24:07,890
Don't you trust us, madam?

427
00:24:08,330 --> 00:24:09,350
Sure, I trust you.

428
00:24:09,610 --> 00:24:11,990
But I'd trust you a lot more if that
pixie wasn't in there with you.

429
00:24:12,270 --> 00:24:13,470
And stop calling me madam.

430
00:24:13,870 --> 00:24:18,110
Stop. Madam, we have years of integrity
behind us. We are very jealous of our

431
00:24:18,110 --> 00:24:22,190
reputation. And any attempt to doubt it
will be strongly resented. All right, I

432
00:24:22,190 --> 00:24:25,970
apologize. But when we get home tonight,
remind me to show you the half Nelson

433
00:24:25,970 --> 00:24:26,909
and the hammerlock.

434
00:24:26,910 --> 00:24:27,970
They're a girl's best friend.

435
00:24:29,290 --> 00:24:30,330
It won't be necessary.

436
00:24:30,590 --> 00:24:33,730
The store's motto is, more flies can be
caught with honey than with vinegar.

437
00:24:34,910 --> 00:24:35,930
Honey? Flies?

438
00:24:36,350 --> 00:24:37,350
Hey, what's going on in there?

439
00:24:38,250 --> 00:24:41,870
May we suggest, Mrs. Marmont, in
accordance with your waist measurements,

440
00:24:41,870 --> 00:24:45,090
special essence of elephant hide. And I
might add, in my own opinion, that no

441
00:24:45,090 --> 00:24:47,710
perfume in the world could remove the
stench of your late husband's swindling

442
00:24:47,710 --> 00:24:51,470
wall three -thumb years ago with undying
affection, et cetera, et cetera, et

443
00:24:51,470 --> 00:24:53,690
cetera. Except for Mrs. Marmont, we've
done all right today.

444
00:24:55,070 --> 00:24:57,570
I'd like to go now if there's nothing
else I can do for you.

445
00:24:57,910 --> 00:24:58,910
Oh, but there is.

446
00:24:58,970 --> 00:25:00,270
But my uncle, we're having dinner.

447
00:25:00,890 --> 00:25:01,890
Ah, yes, you are.

448
00:25:01,950 --> 00:25:02,950
Of course.

449
00:25:03,050 --> 00:25:05,210
I had an uncle once. J .J.'s brother.

450
00:25:05,770 --> 00:25:09,370
He was the rip -roaringest guy that ever
drank and gambled his way from Maine to

451
00:25:09,370 --> 00:25:11,690
Mexico. We all knew he'd end on the
gallows. And did he?

452
00:25:12,310 --> 00:25:15,610
Well, he fell in love with a
schoolteacher, settled down in Clarinda,

453
00:25:15,750 --> 00:25:18,790
raised six children, and became a pillar
of the church. He sounded much more

454
00:25:18,790 --> 00:25:19,990
romantic before he met the girl.

455
00:25:20,290 --> 00:25:21,530
Well, he was a lot happier afterwards.

456
00:25:22,790 --> 00:25:24,070
How long have I been here, Joan?

457
00:25:24,330 --> 00:25:25,350
Three months, Mr. Benson.

458
00:25:25,650 --> 00:25:26,650
The name's Ralph?

459
00:25:26,710 --> 00:25:27,710
Yes, Mr. Benson.

460
00:25:28,570 --> 00:25:32,310
You don't you don't think a man can
change in three months. Do you care for

461
00:25:32,410 --> 00:25:36,490
Benson? Oh, you'll end up in clothing to
Iowa John if you just knew how much I

462
00:25:36,490 --> 00:25:41,370
saved by the bell don't ask if you don't
mind I'd better go now and you won't

463
00:25:41,370 --> 00:25:44,030
forget about your wicked old uncle and
have dinner with me Aren't you

464
00:25:44,030 --> 00:25:46,850
you have a dinner date with Irene? Well,
oh that

465
00:25:46,850 --> 00:25:53,710
Well chambers you're working late
tonight, aren't you what are you

466
00:25:53,710 --> 00:25:55,810
doing? It's so important writing myself
threatening letters

467
00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:59,840
If you can't find anything more
interesting to do, I have a little tour

468
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:03,680
Yeah? Irene Wells is in from the coast,
and naturally she has to be entertained.

469
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:07,460
Naturally? How would you like to be the
entertainer? That's very wide of you,

470
00:26:07,500 --> 00:26:10,120
Benson, old boy, but I couldn't bear to
deprive you of the pleasure.

471
00:26:10,460 --> 00:26:12,740
Look, old man, I'd do it myself, but
confidentially.

472
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:15,140
I'm after a bigger game tonight. Lovely
girl.

473
00:26:16,860 --> 00:26:18,820
Everything is working out all right, I
hope?

474
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:21,900
Well, she's a little stubborn, but I
think she'll break down. That's great.

475
00:26:22,260 --> 00:26:23,260
Good luck.

476
00:26:23,860 --> 00:26:26,460
Really, old man, there's no one in the
world I'd rather take out tonight than

477
00:26:26,460 --> 00:26:27,860
Irene Wells, charming woman.

478
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:31,680
Probably the loveliest account we have
on our books. I'll sell her the store.

479
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,600
There, Miss Keating. That's the kind of
cooperation I like to see around here.

480
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:35,880
Now we can have dinner together.

481
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:38,040
You're so right, Mr. Benson, and I
accept.

482
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:40,460
But I warn you, I'll be ravenously
hungry.

483
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:42,800
You shall have the works, Miss Keating.
Two kinds of ice cream.

484
00:26:43,360 --> 00:26:45,680
Well, Chambers, get Miss Wells a little
tight at dinner.

485
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,560
After the theater, your time is your
own. Miss Keating will make all the

486
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:51,480
arrangements about tickets and all that
sort of thing. But not the part where my

487
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:52,480
time is my own.

488
00:26:52,540 --> 00:26:53,439
My friend.

489
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:56,260
More business can be done in the back
seat of a cab than in the front seat of

490
00:26:56,260 --> 00:26:57,260
cunt.

491
00:27:03,780 --> 00:27:05,920
I'm sure we'll all have a wonderful
time.

492
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:08,740
Why don't you speak for yourself, jerk?

493
00:27:08,940 --> 00:27:10,320
Well, is everybody deaf out here?

494
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:13,240
I thought I heard voices.

495
00:27:14,700 --> 00:27:17,320
Excuse me, isn't your buzzer buzzing,
Mr.

496
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:21,620
Benson? It couldn't possibly be mine. I
left a full half hour ago, grimy with a

497
00:27:21,620 --> 00:27:22,640
sweat of honest toil.

498
00:27:23,140 --> 00:27:26,500
Yes, but you will kindly assure my
mother of that fact.

499
00:27:27,220 --> 00:27:28,220
Yes, Mr. Benson.

500
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:31,100
If anything important develops, Miss
Keating and I will be at Pierre's. You

501
00:27:31,100 --> 00:27:33,140
reach me there, but I prefer that you
didn't. Don't worry.

502
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:34,440
I won't.

503
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:38,220
I'm sorry, Madam Benson. I've been
buzzing and buzzing and buzzing. I'm

504
00:27:38,340 --> 00:27:39,339
I didn't hear a thing.

505
00:27:39,340 --> 00:27:41,880
Oh, Wesley, this is my son Ralph. He's
in the firm now.

506
00:27:42,120 --> 00:27:44,400
How do you do? This is Mr. Howard of
Burson Howard in Cleveland.

507
00:27:44,970 --> 00:27:47,950
Milo, Mr. Howard is leaving first thing
in the morning. I want two models in the

508
00:27:47,950 --> 00:27:48,789
salon immediately.

509
00:27:48,790 --> 00:27:52,350
Well, I'm afraid, Madam Benson, that
it's quite late. Everyone has gone home.

510
00:27:52,630 --> 00:27:53,870
Home? At this hour? Why?

511
00:27:54,110 --> 00:27:57,670
Well, it's customary. If I can do
anything... You're not going to model

512
00:27:57,670 --> 00:27:59,410
lingerie. Not in my establishment.

513
00:28:00,190 --> 00:28:02,190
Miss Keating, have you ever done any
modeling?

514
00:28:02,530 --> 00:28:03,269
Why, no.

515
00:28:03,270 --> 00:28:05,270
Well, it's not difficult. Quite simple,
in fact.

516
00:28:05,990 --> 00:28:08,970
I'm sure Miss Keating will show our new
numbers most effectively.

517
00:28:09,430 --> 00:28:10,470
I don't think she will.

518
00:28:11,170 --> 00:28:11,969
What's that?

519
00:28:11,970 --> 00:28:12,669
I mean...

520
00:28:12,670 --> 00:28:15,390
Well, the girl's never modeled before.
It's an art.

521
00:28:15,610 --> 00:28:18,690
You just can't acquire that sort of
thing in ten minutes. Art isn't

522
00:28:18,690 --> 00:28:19,689
acquired, old man.

523
00:28:19,690 --> 00:28:22,950
Miss Keating has certain natural
advantages that most professional models

524
00:28:22,950 --> 00:28:23,889
possess. Really?

525
00:28:23,890 --> 00:28:24,890
I hadn't noticed.

526
00:28:25,010 --> 00:28:28,190
It isn't your place to notice. One can't
help noticing the obvious, Mother dear.

527
00:28:28,330 --> 00:28:29,610
Well, it's obvious.

528
00:28:29,930 --> 00:28:31,050
The girl's bow -legged.

529
00:28:31,830 --> 00:28:34,490
She's not bow -legged. She is bow
-legged. She's not bow -legged.

530
00:28:34,730 --> 00:28:35,730
Yes, she is bow -legged.

531
00:28:36,710 --> 00:28:38,310
Pardon me, Mother. I make a suggestion.

532
00:28:38,990 --> 00:28:41,410
No one will make a suggestion. Miss
Keating will model.

533
00:28:41,820 --> 00:28:45,460
Anna, you will take it and select the
garments. Wesley, we will go on in.

534
00:28:45,580 --> 00:28:47,340
Milo. I'll be in presently, Mother.

535
00:28:47,580 --> 00:28:50,360
It's about time I learned all the ifs,
ands, and buts of this business.

536
00:28:53,260 --> 00:28:57,400
And now, my friend, whatever gave you
the idea Miss Keating has bow legs,

537
00:28:57,620 --> 00:29:00,480
whatever gave you the idea she hasn't.

538
00:30:14,310 --> 00:30:15,310
You were splendid.

539
00:30:15,550 --> 00:30:18,090
Even the models couldn't have done
better. Thanks, Anna.

540
00:30:18,290 --> 00:30:20,410
But I think I'll speak to my typing
after this.

541
00:30:21,490 --> 00:30:24,950
Miss Keating, you did remarkably well. I
am very pleased. Thank you, Madam

542
00:30:24,950 --> 00:30:27,030
Benson. Mr. Howard bought nicely.

543
00:30:27,270 --> 00:30:29,290
And now he wants to see some nightlife.

544
00:30:30,030 --> 00:30:33,590
Buyers always do. I told him that you
would go along with him. Well, I'd like

545
00:30:33,590 --> 00:30:37,470
to. Good nightclubs bore me. You will,
of course, be paid for overtime, but try

546
00:30:37,470 --> 00:30:38,710
to start yawning early.

547
00:30:39,070 --> 00:30:41,510
Hurry now. Mr. Howard is waiting. Yes,
Madam Benson.

548
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:44,880
Now remember, Chambers, my boy, a woman
is a very delicate instrument.

549
00:30:45,180 --> 00:30:46,180
Something like a violin?

550
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:47,400
Yes, that's right.

551
00:30:47,580 --> 00:30:51,300
Only to make sweet music, a man must
play a woman with champagne, orchids,

552
00:30:51,380 --> 00:30:52,380
little attention.

553
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:54,040
My women love me for myself.

554
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:58,500
An adolescent attitude, Chambers, and
one which may cost the firm dearly. Be

555
00:30:58,500 --> 00:31:01,580
more adult with Miss Wells. Give her the
best of everything. At our expense, of

556
00:31:01,580 --> 00:31:02,580
course. Of course.

557
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:05,960
A discreet table in the corner, dim
lights, all the props.

558
00:31:06,740 --> 00:31:08,240
And then... And then?

559
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:11,400
And then, on your way home...

560
00:31:11,740 --> 00:31:12,800
At the psychological moment?

561
00:31:13,260 --> 00:31:14,260
Yes.

562
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,440
Well, just don't let her down. That's
been my system and it's never failed.

563
00:31:17,740 --> 00:31:21,060
It was sweet of you to break your
engagement for me. Not at all. Good

564
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:22,160
Benson and Mr.

565
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:24,360
Chambers. We'll have dinner at Pierre's,
shall we?

566
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:28,280
Well, Nero, looks like you'll have to
get yourself another fiddle.

567
00:31:38,250 --> 00:31:40,950
You certainly don't think I'm looking
forward to doing the town in Benson

568
00:31:40,950 --> 00:31:44,070
clothes, Benson jewels, and with an
imported Benson board, do you?

569
00:31:44,310 --> 00:31:46,590
Why are you doing it? I don't know what
you're so sore about.

570
00:31:46,810 --> 00:31:49,790
I don't think I'm going to stay here all
night while you cart Irene Wells around

571
00:31:49,790 --> 00:31:50,790
from one gym to another.

572
00:31:51,230 --> 00:31:52,830
After all, I have to live too, you know.

573
00:31:53,550 --> 00:31:56,090
I don't think you can stick me away in
some apartment while you... Some

574
00:31:56,090 --> 00:31:58,350
apartment? Is that all you think of this
place, some apartment?

575
00:31:58,990 --> 00:32:00,430
Two thousand a joint cost me.

576
00:32:00,750 --> 00:32:01,750
Don't call it a joint.

577
00:32:02,030 --> 00:32:03,690
Well, why don't you stay in it and wait
for me?

578
00:32:03,970 --> 00:32:05,270
Why don't you stay and wait for me?

579
00:32:06,110 --> 00:32:07,110
Wait for you.

580
00:32:07,340 --> 00:32:08,860
Well, somebody plays you like a violin.

581
00:32:09,260 --> 00:32:11,340
Huh? Yeah, it's like a violin.

582
00:32:11,780 --> 00:32:13,360
I have to stand around and listen to it.

583
00:32:13,860 --> 00:32:16,380
Well, how do you like that? My own wife.

584
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,320
Well, this is the end.

585
00:32:22,260 --> 00:32:23,700
Here, write.

586
00:32:24,140 --> 00:32:25,700
What are you talking about? Your
resignation.

587
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:27,520
Oh, stop being a fool.

588
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:30,420
I just have, and you're about to become
a housewife. What about Josephine?

589
00:32:30,420 --> 00:32:31,840
Joseph. All right, then what about it?

590
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:33,580
Right this minute, all I care about is
us.

591
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:37,040
What good is Joseph going to be if I
wind up with the Irene Welses and you

592
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:38,040
up the Bensons?

593
00:32:38,660 --> 00:32:41,060
I want to be the father of your Joseph,
not Irene Welses.

594
00:32:41,940 --> 00:32:44,780
Oh, sweetheart, look at us. Here we are
fighting when we want to love. All

595
00:32:44,780 --> 00:32:47,760
because you want a child with a
finishing school education even before

596
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:48,760
born. Please.

597
00:32:49,220 --> 00:32:52,020
Now, from now on, I'm the breadwinner in
this family, and what I say goes.

598
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:55,860
You're quitting the J .J. Benson Company
without the usual two weeks' notice.

599
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:58,880
But, Fred, we haven't much more to go in
our overtime tonight. I'll cut that way

600
00:32:58,880 --> 00:32:59,839
down and... Right.

601
00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:02,840
Or I'll spill the beans to J .J. in the
morning. You wouldn't do that.

602
00:33:03,550 --> 00:33:04,690
To keep you, I'd spill it tonight.

603
00:33:05,650 --> 00:33:07,090
You do and you won't keep me.

604
00:33:08,150 --> 00:33:09,149
Please, darling.

605
00:33:09,150 --> 00:33:12,110
I want to have my child in my own way.
Not yours.

606
00:33:12,710 --> 00:33:13,710
You'd leave me?

607
00:33:14,750 --> 00:33:15,890
Oh, I've hurt you.

608
00:33:16,390 --> 00:33:17,410
Why are you shaking?

609
00:33:17,850 --> 00:33:18,850
Why shouldn't I?

610
00:33:19,030 --> 00:33:20,410
Joseph was almost an orphan.

611
00:33:23,050 --> 00:33:24,650
Come here, Hope. Let's go to work.

612
00:33:24,910 --> 00:33:25,749
Where's Joseph?

613
00:33:25,750 --> 00:33:27,850
Josephine. The tickets are in on the
desk.

614
00:33:28,130 --> 00:33:29,390
They were delivered half an hour ago.

615
00:33:29,650 --> 00:33:30,650
Don't accept any candy.

616
00:33:31,530 --> 00:33:32,530
Good night.

617
00:33:34,620 --> 00:33:36,340
Don't let it drive you home through
Central Park.

618
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:42,760
We've reached our objective.

619
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:44,480
Follow the text, men.

620
00:33:51,140 --> 00:33:52,940
Go right back and bring us some
reinforcements.

621
00:33:53,820 --> 00:33:54,820
Forward!

622
00:34:11,210 --> 00:34:12,489
Mr. Benson, I had a lovely evening.

623
00:34:12,750 --> 00:34:13,949
There we are, safe at home.

624
00:34:14,909 --> 00:34:19,570
Benson's ever said it best, rescuing
damsels from boars. Very good customer,

625
00:34:19,710 --> 00:34:21,469
Howard, but the grandfather of all
boars.

626
00:34:21,929 --> 00:34:25,949
Well, I do appreciate your rescue, Mr.
Benson, but it's quite late.

627
00:34:26,389 --> 00:34:27,610
Good night, Mr. Benson.

628
00:34:28,230 --> 00:34:32,350
A soldier never relinquishes his post
until he's relieved. Call out the guard.

629
00:34:32,590 --> 00:34:33,850
What ho, the guard!

630
00:34:34,460 --> 00:34:35,780
The guard, I think, is in bed.

631
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:38,219
But you'll have to take over, Joan.
Right shoulder up.

632
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:41,560
But, Mr. Benson... Right shoulder, Miss
Keating. Now then, follow me. Ready?

633
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:42,960
Forward, march!

634
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:51,139
It's three o 'clock in the morning. I've
got to get up so early.

635
00:34:51,460 --> 00:34:54,560
What? Come to work at noon. Come in at
four. I won't even be there. Ralph!

636
00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:57,800
What's wrong?

637
00:34:58,120 --> 00:34:59,320
That's just what I'd like to know.

638
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:01,760
If I heard correctly, you called me
Ralph.

639
00:35:05,100 --> 00:35:07,240
Do you realize it's the first time
you've ever called me that?

640
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:10,260
No more guard duty for you, Joan.

641
00:35:10,580 --> 00:35:13,060
I'm going to fire a 21 -gun salute in
your honor.

642
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:14,440
Just one gun, please.

643
00:35:14,720 --> 00:35:15,720
It's so late.

644
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:17,000
Just one gun, then.

645
00:35:22,260 --> 00:35:23,260
Very sorry.

646
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:24,940
It wasn't a good salute.

647
00:35:25,380 --> 00:35:26,700
It'll go right away, though.

648
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:29,360
Oh. Oh, dear, sit down.

649
00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:32,460
Hold your breath. I'll get you a drink
of water.

650
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:40,420
It was the water. I turned on the hot...
Why didn't you warn me you were in

651
00:35:40,420 --> 00:35:43,240
here? Your nanny scared me to death. His
car was blown in the face. Is that what

652
00:35:43,240 --> 00:35:45,640
you call entertaining a buyer? He joined
us at dinner. There was nothing I could

653
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:46,720
do about it. Well, I can.

654
00:35:47,420 --> 00:35:50,480
Fred, where are you going? I'm going to
throw General Burp out of here. Oh,

655
00:35:50,500 --> 00:35:53,200
please, Fred, no. I'll get rid of him in
a minute. Please don't. Well, make it

656
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:56,000
snappy. And I'd also like a little
explanation about those tickets you got

657
00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:58,440
Last row in the balcony. Fine place to
make an impression.

658
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:02,360
Here, take a sip.

659
00:36:07,310 --> 00:36:09,790
I want some coffee.

660
00:36:10,010 --> 00:36:14,130
Let's make some coffee. Oh, but Mr.
Benson, what is the best thing in the

661
00:36:14,130 --> 00:36:15,009
for you?

662
00:36:15,010 --> 00:36:16,690
Oh, but Mr. Benson, that'll keep you
awake.

663
00:36:16,930 --> 00:36:18,890
Oh, what's to sleep? Oh, please, Mr.
Benson.

664
00:36:28,350 --> 00:36:30,470
What you need is a cold towel.

665
00:36:30,790 --> 00:36:32,470
Yes, a cold towel on your head.

666
00:36:32,850 --> 00:36:34,030
That's a very intelligent idea.

667
00:36:58,860 --> 00:37:00,700
Hello. Good morning, Mr. Benson.

668
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:07,560
Would you please be a little more
explicit?

669
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:08,920
What morning?

670
00:37:09,020 --> 00:37:10,020
It's Thursday.

671
00:37:10,240 --> 00:37:11,300
You spent the night here.

672
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:18,440
Oh. I suppose I was quite a mellow
fellow and made a complete ass

673
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:19,440
of myself.

674
00:37:19,500 --> 00:37:22,160
No. You just had a bad piece of ice.

675
00:37:22,500 --> 00:37:23,500
Oh?

676
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:26,060
And I didn't make a complete ass of
myself?

677
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:27,420
No. Oh.

678
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:28,680
Oh.

679
00:37:30,410 --> 00:37:33,930
Do you hear sort of a buzzing sound, or
is that just my imagination?

680
00:37:34,410 --> 00:37:35,530
No, I don't hear a thing.

681
00:37:35,950 --> 00:37:37,290
I must be sicker than I thought.

682
00:37:37,670 --> 00:37:39,130
Is that coffee, Miss Keating?

683
00:37:39,350 --> 00:37:42,830
Yes. The hand that made you fair has
made you good.

684
00:37:43,390 --> 00:37:44,390
Shakespeare.

685
00:37:45,510 --> 00:37:46,510
There.

686
00:37:50,910 --> 00:37:55,130
Isn't that better? Well, I don't seem to
hear that buzzing sound anymore, but I

687
00:37:55,130 --> 00:37:56,130
think I feel worse.

688
00:37:56,190 --> 00:37:58,690
It's getting awfully late, Mr. Benson. I
think you'd better go.

689
00:37:59,410 --> 00:38:01,260
Oh. Don't stand up.

690
00:38:01,980 --> 00:38:02,980
I'll get your coat.

691
00:38:03,740 --> 00:38:06,380
Either take my hand or get me a seeing
-eye dog.

692
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:16,800
Oh, Mr. Benson, please.

693
00:38:17,180 --> 00:38:19,520
I'm sorry, Aunt Bray. I was too
optimistic.

694
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:20,960
What's the next best thing?

695
00:38:24,100 --> 00:38:25,760
You'll be much better off at home.

696
00:38:26,020 --> 00:38:27,020
That's it.

697
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:29,380
You get a cab and go to the office.
Charge it to me.

698
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:30,880
I'll go home and laugh this off.

699
00:38:31,720 --> 00:38:34,900
Don't think it hasn't been charming.
Perhaps you'll invite me again sometime,

700
00:38:34,900 --> 00:38:35,900
daughter.

701
00:39:01,100 --> 00:39:03,960
bottom before somebody walks in and
breaks up this game. Calm yourself,

702
00:39:04,060 --> 00:39:07,500
gentlemen. This is the one room
forbidden to Robinson, and nine is the

703
00:39:07,500 --> 00:39:08,499
I always make.

704
00:39:08,500 --> 00:39:11,780
I'm out two bucks now, but here's
another buck says you don't. You're

705
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:14,800
You know, Williams, a man like you in
the payroll department should be above

706
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:16,620
money troubles. Simply give yourself a
raise.

707
00:39:16,820 --> 00:39:21,100
Yeah, that's easy. Just like flying to
the moon. All you gotta do to get a

708
00:39:21,100 --> 00:39:24,900
is to be in with Ralphie, boy. Like that
Keating dame. Come on, roll him. What

709
00:39:24,900 --> 00:39:25,900
about that Keating dame?

710
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:29,380
Nothing about her, except I just gave
her a ten dollar raise, that's all.

711
00:39:29,939 --> 00:39:33,460
J .J.'s orders, on account of Keating,
gave Ralphie Boy some new idea about

712
00:39:33,460 --> 00:39:35,500
perfume. New idea about perfume?

713
00:39:36,060 --> 00:39:37,300
Come on, roll it, will you?

714
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:39,000
Yeah.

715
00:39:46,580 --> 00:39:49,680
Oh, darling, I can hardly wait to tell
you the most wonderful thing happened.

716
00:39:49,720 --> 00:39:53,340
Yeah, I know. You got a ten -buck raise
for putting ideas in Mr. Benson's head.

717
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:56,220
Well, let me explain, will you? I tried
to tell him it was your idea, but I

718
00:39:56,220 --> 00:39:57,340
couldn't get a word in H -wise.

719
00:39:58,140 --> 00:39:59,140
Aren't you even listening?

720
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:03,440
Hmm. Elks are having a convention in
Little Rock. Believe me, darling, I felt

721
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:06,120
awful about it, but it just got harder
and harder to tell them.

722
00:40:07,140 --> 00:40:10,180
Will you stop sulking and say something,
or is that paper so important?

723
00:40:11,220 --> 00:40:13,520
Well, there's nothing like taking a nice
long walk alone.

724
00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:21,060
Oh! Oh, good evening. Good evening. We
knocked on your wall. Are you coming

725
00:40:21,060 --> 00:40:21,879
us? Coming where?

726
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:23,380
To the movies. It's Wednesday, bank
night.

727
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:25,180
Well, we go every Wednesday. What's
playing?

728
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:26,540
I think Frankenstein.

729
00:40:27,100 --> 00:40:29,980
The daughter of Frankenstein. You slept
with the rest of the family.

730
00:40:30,380 --> 00:40:31,339
Oh, did I?

731
00:40:31,340 --> 00:40:33,040
Would you care to go, my sweet?

732
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:36,480
It's entirely up to you, my pet. I'm
putty in your hands.

733
00:40:36,980 --> 00:40:39,080
Well, perhaps not tonight, my dear.

734
00:40:39,820 --> 00:40:43,400
You see, Mrs. Chambers was up rather
late last night trying out our new

735
00:40:44,060 --> 00:40:45,060
Come along, precious.

736
00:40:45,340 --> 00:40:46,198
Good luck.

737
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:49,760
Good night. We hope you win. Thank you.
Sorry you can't go with us. What a

738
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:53,340
charming couple. So loving, so
considerate of each other. Don't you

739
00:40:53,340 --> 00:40:54,820
sickening sort of a way, yeah.

740
00:40:55,450 --> 00:40:57,390
Would you please put that paper down and
listen to me?

741
00:40:57,590 --> 00:40:59,190
No one's denying it was your idea.

742
00:40:59,450 --> 00:41:01,730
No one else's. I tried to tell Ralph it
was yours.

743
00:41:02,010 --> 00:41:02,609
What's that?

744
00:41:02,610 --> 00:41:06,090
I said I tried to tell Ralph Benson the
truth. No, you didn't. You said Ralph.

745
00:41:06,510 --> 00:41:09,510
Well, what if I did? You call Madam
Benson JJ, don't you?

746
00:41:09,730 --> 00:41:10,649
Oh, that's different.

747
00:41:10,650 --> 00:41:12,170
Look, Joan, don't let's start this
again.

748
00:41:12,410 --> 00:41:16,490
Who's starting it? I merely said that...
All right, I'll confess all.

749
00:41:17,130 --> 00:41:19,170
I'm passionately in love with Ralph
Benson.

750
00:41:19,410 --> 00:41:20,410
I need a double dive.

751
00:41:20,610 --> 00:41:22,970
Every night when you're asleep, I steal
to his side.

752
00:41:23,530 --> 00:41:24,530
That is fine.

753
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:28,620
Perfectly. Then turn out the light,
please.

754
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:39,240
Oh! Oh!

755
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:40,560
Oh!

756
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:42,500
Oh! Oh!

757
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:44,200
Oh!

758
00:41:44,740 --> 00:41:49,680
Let me rub it for you. Oh, don't bother,
Florence Nightingale.

759
00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:51,920
Oh.

760
00:41:56,190 --> 00:41:59,170
Darling, promise to tell me the truth if
I ask you something?

761
00:41:59,850 --> 00:42:01,310
If it doesn't incriminate me.

762
00:42:02,210 --> 00:42:05,750
Fred, aren't you secretly wishing you
were single again?

763
00:42:06,350 --> 00:42:11,250
With no budgets of worry or scrimping or
lying about ourselves downtown?

764
00:42:12,630 --> 00:42:15,370
Don't you ever get tired of coming to
the same cage every night?

765
00:42:15,950 --> 00:42:17,650
Sure, once in a while.

766
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:22,960
And then sometimes at the office I see
this lovely gal walk by and for a minute

767
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:25,140
I forget it's you and something happens
in my throat.

768
00:42:26,720 --> 00:42:29,060
And then suddenly I realize she's my
wife.

769
00:42:29,420 --> 00:42:31,980
I want to pinch myself because I'm such
a lucky guy.

770
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:33,960
There's your answer.

771
00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:40,320
Dolly. Hmm?

772
00:42:41,100 --> 00:42:43,920
You're doing a wonderful job, but you're
rubbing the wrong leg.

773
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:46,600
Dolly.

774
00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:50,920
Two hundred dollars waiting for some
lucky person.

775
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:52,320
Here it is.

776
00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:59,460
The last two numbers. Number six, three.
Page six in volume three.

777
00:43:00,660 --> 00:43:02,500
All right, this is it.

778
00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:07,520
H -O -O -5 -H -G. Mr.

779
00:43:07,820 --> 00:43:09,120
Fred Chambers.

780
00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:11,460
Number eight.

781
00:43:17,340 --> 00:43:20,280
No. Telephone him and tell him he's only
got three minutes. Three minutes?

782
00:43:21,740 --> 00:43:28,100
Number 8 -0 -5 -8

783
00:43:28,100 --> 00:43:30,520
-G. Fred Chambers.

784
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:57,000
I can't hear you.

785
00:43:58,240 --> 00:44:00,240
I think you got the wrong number.

786
00:44:00,460 --> 00:44:03,860
Listen, listen. You tell Mr. Chambers
that he's just won three minutes.

787
00:44:04,720 --> 00:44:05,840
He's got $200.

788
00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:07,320
$200?

789
00:44:07,720 --> 00:44:09,960
No, I got no $200.

790
00:44:10,380 --> 00:44:13,920
Look, look, you foot -sore bundle of
grief. You run up to the Tivoli Theater.

791
00:44:14,060 --> 00:44:15,440
You run upstairs and tell Mr.

792
00:44:15,700 --> 00:44:18,220
Chambers to get down to the Tivoli
Theater right away. Now, do as I tell

793
00:44:18,260 --> 00:44:21,340
All right, don't get excited. I go up
and tell him.

794
00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:28,520
Upstairs, downstairs, all day long.

795
00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:30,180
Oh, Miss.

796
00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:32,860
Mr. Chambers.

797
00:44:33,260 --> 00:44:34,840
Mr. Chambers.

798
00:44:35,300 --> 00:44:36,300
Yes, yes.

799
00:44:36,580 --> 00:44:37,339
What's up?

800
00:44:37,340 --> 00:44:41,080
Mr. Everett said you have to come to the
Tivoli Theater.

801
00:44:41,660 --> 00:44:43,540
You want $200.

802
00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:46,960
What? He said you only got three
minutes.

803
00:44:47,380 --> 00:44:49,100
Three minutes? Where are my pants?

804
00:44:49,380 --> 00:44:51,220
Where are my pants? Here.

805
00:44:53,140 --> 00:44:54,340
Here's $300.

806
00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:01,960
Oh, this is a cold

807
00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:52,500
Everything's quiet and peaceful

808
00:46:47,040 --> 00:46:48,480
I think I'm going to cry.

809
00:46:49,500 --> 00:46:51,380
Lady, it won't do you a bit of good.

810
00:46:51,940 --> 00:46:53,300
Come on, get up out of there.

811
00:46:57,400 --> 00:47:00,920
Appearing with an officer in the
performance of his duty. And where do I

812
00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:02,140
that boyfriend of yours?

813
00:47:03,460 --> 00:47:05,740
Don't feel bad, dear. We got the
consolation prize.

814
00:47:13,130 --> 00:47:14,550
I don't see what you have to laugh
about.

815
00:47:14,810 --> 00:47:17,850
You've got no sense of humor.

816
00:47:20,710 --> 00:47:23,130
You won't laugh after you see the judge.

817
00:47:24,970 --> 00:47:26,210
Will they? No.

818
00:47:28,430 --> 00:47:29,530
I don't get it.

819
00:47:29,810 --> 00:47:31,190
He doesn't get it.

820
00:47:31,430 --> 00:47:33,650
This is not a man's job anyway.

821
00:47:34,170 --> 00:47:36,050
When we're rich, we'll buy all those
electric gadgets.

822
00:47:36,430 --> 00:47:40,190
If we keep on paying $10 fines,
Josephine will get over that in a day.

823
00:47:41,870 --> 00:47:43,210
You could boil this down and make soup.

824
00:47:44,090 --> 00:47:46,990
Well, Emily Post says, always leave a
little on the plate.

825
00:47:48,250 --> 00:47:49,250
What's on for tonight?

826
00:47:49,330 --> 00:47:51,530
Surprise. The average Walton sells a new
phonograph.

827
00:47:51,850 --> 00:47:52,609
No. Yes.

828
00:47:52,610 --> 00:47:56,190
And we're all going over to Dom Nick's
to buy records. Oh, you die of shock.

829
00:47:56,730 --> 00:47:57,950
Take out or receive the new machine.

830
00:47:58,230 --> 00:47:59,230
I'll be back in a minute.

831
00:48:00,390 --> 00:48:02,850
Open up. I command you in the name of
the sweet charity.

832
00:48:03,210 --> 00:48:03,988
Who's that?

833
00:48:03,990 --> 00:48:05,770
Sweet charity. He wants to come in.

834
00:48:05,990 --> 00:48:06,990
Is anybody home in there?

835
00:48:07,230 --> 00:48:08,230
Yes, Mr. Benson.

836
00:48:08,370 --> 00:48:10,370
Wait till I get used to saying it at the
office.

837
00:48:10,780 --> 00:48:12,260
Give me that plate. Oh, you can't do
that.

838
00:48:12,480 --> 00:48:15,760
I can if you don't spoil my aim. Oh, no,
Fred, listen. You go on over to

839
00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:19,640
Everett's. I'll get with him in five
minutes, I promise you. All right, but I

840
00:48:19,640 --> 00:48:22,820
promise you this is the last time I'm
going to be shoved out of my own home.

841
00:48:35,640 --> 00:48:38,470
Oh, uh, I wasn't expecting... I see you,
Mr. Benson.

842
00:48:38,710 --> 00:48:40,090
Oh, I just happened to be passing by.

843
00:48:41,410 --> 00:48:43,850
Oh, now, why couldn't I make that sound
more convincing?

844
00:48:44,330 --> 00:48:46,530
As a matter of fact, I've been planning
this visit for weeks.

845
00:48:47,350 --> 00:48:51,450
I, uh... John, there's something I want
to show you. Show her something?

846
00:48:51,650 --> 00:48:52,650
What does he want to show her?

847
00:48:52,730 --> 00:48:58,410
Mr. Benson, I, um... I have a dinner
date, and, um... Well, I'm expecting

848
00:48:58,410 --> 00:48:59,410
someone any minute.

849
00:48:59,550 --> 00:49:00,550
And I'm the someone.

850
00:49:00,650 --> 00:49:02,110
Keep your head down, Freddie.

851
00:49:03,810 --> 00:49:06,530
I got it over at Francois' on the avenue
just a few minutes ago.

852
00:49:07,240 --> 00:49:09,240
Oh, it's an engagement ring.

853
00:49:10,020 --> 00:49:11,020
It's beautiful.

854
00:49:11,080 --> 00:49:12,280
He's trying to marry my wife.

855
00:49:12,680 --> 00:49:13,760
I'm afraid that's a compliment.

856
00:49:14,160 --> 00:49:16,720
J .J., practically be your mother -in
-law.

857
00:49:17,180 --> 00:49:18,540
I got it on approval.

858
00:49:19,100 --> 00:49:21,600
I told Francois I wasn't quite sure
whether I'd need it.

859
00:49:22,140 --> 00:49:24,200
In fact, I'm not quite sure at all.

860
00:49:24,700 --> 00:49:25,700
It's beautiful.

861
00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:28,060
Francois assured me I had nothing to
worry about.

862
00:49:28,340 --> 00:49:31,360
A man like you, he said, a girl would be
crazy to turn you down.

863
00:49:32,340 --> 00:49:34,000
Naturally, he's anxious to make a sale.

864
00:49:34,280 --> 00:49:35,340
These days, uh...

865
00:49:35,680 --> 00:49:36,920
People aren't buying much jewelry.

866
00:49:37,540 --> 00:49:38,540
Money isn't everything.

867
00:49:38,640 --> 00:49:39,720
I'm quoting Francois.

868
00:49:40,220 --> 00:49:43,840
Still, it's nice to have a rich mother
who gives you an allowance of 500 a

869
00:49:44,420 --> 00:49:46,440
And, he added, that ain't Lafayette.

870
00:49:46,900 --> 00:49:48,060
That's French for hay.

871
00:49:48,380 --> 00:49:51,260
Yes. I took two years of French in high
school.

872
00:49:51,520 --> 00:49:54,220
I'm going in and spike that marriage in
all that it is. You're going to stay

873
00:49:54,220 --> 00:49:57,320
here and keep your job. Yeah, and my
job, too. You do as she tells you. I've

874
00:49:57,320 --> 00:49:58,158
an idea.

875
00:49:58,160 --> 00:50:01,420
What are you going to do? Oh, never mind
what I'm going to do. I've never failed

876
00:50:01,420 --> 00:50:02,680
in an emergency yet, have I?

877
00:50:03,420 --> 00:50:06,300
Lots of girls would give their right eye
to marry, Francois told me.

878
00:50:06,780 --> 00:50:11,660
And then he shook my hand and said, in
fact, if I were a girl, I'd marry you

879
00:50:11,660 --> 00:50:12,660
myself.

880
00:50:13,100 --> 00:50:14,100
A Frenchman.

881
00:50:15,660 --> 00:50:17,740
Well, Joan, what do you think?

882
00:50:18,500 --> 00:50:20,220
Does Francois know what he's talking
about?

883
00:50:21,560 --> 00:50:22,560
Beautiful.

884
00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:24,720
And when you leave, I'll cry.

885
00:50:25,820 --> 00:50:26,820
But it's impossible.

886
00:50:27,620 --> 00:50:28,820
I'm in love, Mr. Benson.

887
00:50:29,260 --> 00:50:30,260
Desperately in love.

888
00:50:30,660 --> 00:50:32,960
Could you at least stop calling me Mr.
Benson?

889
00:50:33,360 --> 00:50:34,360
Please, Ralph.

890
00:50:35,340 --> 00:50:39,100
Someday you'll find a girl, a very
lovely girl, I'm sure, and you'll be

891
00:50:39,100 --> 00:50:40,100
happy.

892
00:50:41,580 --> 00:50:42,860
This is my first proposal.

893
00:50:43,380 --> 00:50:45,440
At least with wedding bells ringing in
my ears.

894
00:50:46,200 --> 00:50:47,200
I'm sorry, Ralph.

895
00:50:49,940 --> 00:50:55,360
Well... I guess this will teach that
Frenchman not to be overconfident.

896
00:51:02,700 --> 00:51:05,980
Should come in dear congratulations. Oh
man.

897
00:51:06,920 --> 00:51:11,720
Well, I'm a front where you oughta meet
That Damon rubber

898
00:51:13,049 --> 00:51:16,750
If Milo'd only had enough brains to be
turned my beads. I couldn't, my dear. I

899
00:51:16,750 --> 00:51:19,690
had a singleton. You always have a
singleton but never have clumps. Well,

900
00:51:19,690 --> 00:51:23,050
help it if I had bad cards? If you held
a grand slam, you wouldn't know what to

901
00:51:23,050 --> 00:51:25,990
do with it. How do you expect a man's
mind to function when he's being kicked

902
00:51:25,990 --> 00:51:26,928
under the table?

903
00:51:26,930 --> 00:51:30,130
Oh, nothing short of dynamite could
change your luck. Remember the old

904
00:51:30,130 --> 00:51:32,050
unlucky at cards, lucky at love, you
know.

905
00:51:32,410 --> 00:51:33,970
I make it $320.

906
00:51:35,050 --> 00:51:36,050
$320.

907
00:51:36,200 --> 00:51:39,740
At a hundredth of a cent a point, that's
32 cents, Milo. Couldn't you take it

908
00:51:39,740 --> 00:51:41,120
out of the house money? Certainly not.

909
00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:42,760
It was time we were getting along.

910
00:51:43,040 --> 00:51:44,420
Well, good night, everybody. Good night.

911
00:51:45,080 --> 00:51:48,500
Milo, the next time I leave the tenant
club... According to Culbertson, my

912
00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:49,900
Culbertson, you can't even spell it.

913
00:51:50,180 --> 00:51:55,760
A -U -L... Oh!

914
00:51:56,800 --> 00:51:57,800
What did never go?

915
00:51:58,040 --> 00:51:59,040
Won't be long now.

916
00:51:59,240 --> 00:52:02,980
Nope. Not if they keep getting bad cards
and my crapshoot man holds out. Yeah,

917
00:52:02,980 --> 00:52:04,740
and if you haven't been putting slugs in
there again.

918
00:52:06,630 --> 00:52:09,950
Listen to that little angel. His
stomach's so full, he's purring.

919
00:52:16,710 --> 00:52:22,450
I dream of Jeannie with a life down
there.

920
00:52:23,230 --> 00:52:24,950
Born like a bird.

921
00:52:26,310 --> 00:52:27,310
That's enough.

922
00:52:32,450 --> 00:52:34,110
Who do you suppose that is?

923
00:52:34,380 --> 00:52:35,980
Well, no matter who it is, I'm not
getting out tonight.

924
00:52:36,260 --> 00:52:38,900
I've been on that far escape so much
that pigeons are building nests in me.

925
00:52:42,760 --> 00:52:43,760
Oh, just a moment.

926
00:52:44,300 --> 00:52:45,300
Mrs. Benson.

927
00:52:45,560 --> 00:52:46,560
Madam Benson.

928
00:52:46,780 --> 00:52:47,780
Pigeons, here I come.

929
00:52:48,720 --> 00:52:49,820
Open the door, child.

930
00:52:51,600 --> 00:52:53,840
Oh, Madam Benson, come in. Good evening.

931
00:52:54,560 --> 00:52:55,620
Won't you please sit down?

932
00:52:56,200 --> 00:52:57,580
Over there would be more comfortable.

933
00:52:57,980 --> 00:53:00,220
Well, I think I'll relax after we've had
our talk.

934
00:53:00,580 --> 00:53:02,300
Sit down, my dear. Thank you.

935
00:53:02,940 --> 00:53:03,940
Well, I'm surprised.

936
00:53:04,300 --> 00:53:06,280
Yes, so am I, in my own fashion.

937
00:53:06,860 --> 00:53:08,600
When did you see my son last?

938
00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:11,680
Tuesday. That is, I think it was
Tuesday.

939
00:53:11,920 --> 00:53:12,920
Go on.

940
00:53:13,020 --> 00:53:15,020
Well, it was after office hours.

941
00:53:15,240 --> 00:53:17,580
Yes, I know. He came here for a few
minutes and then left.

942
00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:19,880
His chauffeur reports to me
occasionally.

943
00:53:20,180 --> 00:53:21,180
Oh, that's dreadful.

944
00:53:21,740 --> 00:53:23,520
Forgive me, I didn't mean to say that.

945
00:53:23,820 --> 00:53:24,980
What did Ralph want?

946
00:53:25,560 --> 00:53:30,720
Well, he was... He had some idea about
merchandising and he wanted me to get

947
00:53:30,720 --> 00:53:31,720
some data for him.

948
00:53:32,040 --> 00:53:33,440
What is your first name, child?

949
00:53:33,820 --> 00:53:36,080
Joan. Why do you lie to me, Joan?

950
00:53:36,700 --> 00:53:40,100
I suppose you think that I'm a hard
-bitten old woman, don't you? Well,

951
00:53:40,100 --> 00:53:40,799
deny it.

952
00:53:40,800 --> 00:53:44,160
But I've come here humbly. All I want is
the truth about Ralph.

953
00:53:44,460 --> 00:53:46,200
He was with you on Tuesday night.

954
00:53:46,500 --> 00:53:50,460
He's been on a... Well, he's been away
for three days.

955
00:53:50,840 --> 00:53:54,240
I'm not a fool. I can see it was on
account of you, Joan.

956
00:53:54,780 --> 00:53:55,780
What happened?

957
00:53:56,480 --> 00:53:58,940
Well, he... He asked me to marry him.

958
00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:03,620
Joan, it's not a coincidence that since
he's known you, he's been a changed man.

959
00:54:03,760 --> 00:54:04,940
I've been proud of him.

960
00:54:05,440 --> 00:54:06,800
Why did you say no?

961
00:54:08,280 --> 00:54:09,280
Sorry.

962
00:54:10,220 --> 00:54:11,540
Is there another man?

963
00:54:12,380 --> 00:54:13,780
Well, in a way.

964
00:54:15,180 --> 00:54:16,180
I see.

965
00:54:16,460 --> 00:54:18,980
Well, there's nothing more to be said.

966
00:54:27,790 --> 00:54:29,270
Do you plan to marry soon?

967
00:54:29,990 --> 00:54:31,630
Not making much money right now.

968
00:54:31,910 --> 00:54:32,910
I see.

969
00:54:33,110 --> 00:54:35,910
Well, good night, Joan, and thank you.
Good night.

970
00:54:48,950 --> 00:54:50,850
What's the commotion in Mr. Chambers'
office?

971
00:54:51,070 --> 00:54:53,410
I don't know, but he just had a session
with J .J.

972
00:55:00,110 --> 00:55:00,848
Come in, dear.

973
00:55:00,850 --> 00:55:01,850
Don't mind the mess.

974
00:55:02,030 --> 00:55:04,370
You know how it is on moving day. Fred,
what's happened?

975
00:55:04,570 --> 00:55:07,650
J .J. Benson employees' annual excursion
to Bear Mountain.

976
00:55:07,970 --> 00:55:09,490
Funny how we both photographed cross
-eyed.

977
00:55:10,110 --> 00:55:11,430
What did J .J. say to you?

978
00:55:11,690 --> 00:55:13,970
J .J.? Oh, yes, I remember.

979
00:55:14,270 --> 00:55:15,270
Quaint old relic.

980
00:55:15,450 --> 00:55:16,490
I used to work for him.

981
00:55:17,170 --> 00:55:20,470
Fred. But we've nothing to worry about.
We can always fall back on Uncle George.

982
00:55:20,650 --> 00:55:22,690
Darling, she couldn't have fired you.
But why?

983
00:55:23,010 --> 00:55:26,350
Why did Lincoln free the slaves? Why did
St. Francis free the bird? Madam Benson

984
00:55:26,350 --> 00:55:27,350
is a humanitarian.

985
00:55:28,120 --> 00:55:30,580
Even though she did say her son could do
my work more efficiently.

986
00:55:31,400 --> 00:55:33,800
Come on, get your things. Let's get out
of this concentration camp.

987
00:55:34,540 --> 00:55:35,540
Oh, darling.

988
00:55:35,900 --> 00:55:36,980
Let's think this thing over.

989
00:55:37,240 --> 00:55:38,240
Let's not be foolish.

990
00:55:38,460 --> 00:55:41,620
What's that? Well, one of us has to
work. At least till you find another

991
00:55:41,640 --> 00:55:42,940
Until you start making money again.

992
00:55:43,160 --> 00:55:45,140
If I quit now, it'll set us back for
months.

993
00:55:45,800 --> 00:55:46,800
Oh, Fred.

994
00:55:47,060 --> 00:55:48,060
Let's be sensible.

995
00:55:48,100 --> 00:55:52,080
I'm sensible enough not to leave you
here around that misguided Casanova.

996
00:55:52,880 --> 00:55:54,220
You sound like you don't trust me.

997
00:55:55,140 --> 00:55:57,300
It's that weak -kneed Timberwolf that I
don't trust.

998
00:55:58,570 --> 00:55:59,990
Please, darling, I've got to go now.

999
00:56:00,510 --> 00:56:02,270
Joan, don't go.

1000
00:56:03,290 --> 00:56:06,270
Joan, the old lady's been buzzing you
all over the place. Better skip.

1001
00:56:06,590 --> 00:56:08,870
Thanks, Mindy. We'll talk it over
tonight, darling.

1002
00:56:09,090 --> 00:56:11,650
Forget your pride, darling. But, Joan...

1003
00:56:11,650 --> 00:56:18,950
Hiya,

1004
00:56:18,950 --> 00:56:22,310
Fred. What'll it be? Plane check. The
boys in the back room still accept

1005
00:56:22,310 --> 00:56:23,910
strangers? Sure, Fred.

1006
00:56:24,270 --> 00:56:27,790
But look, them boys back there don't
catch hay when they roll them bones.

1007
00:56:28,430 --> 00:56:29,430
Them's big steaks.

1008
00:56:29,870 --> 00:56:30,870
That's for me.

1009
00:56:35,610 --> 00:56:37,250
Get your bets up, boys. Get your bets
up.

1010
00:56:39,350 --> 00:56:40,350
Let her ride.

1011
00:56:40,890 --> 00:56:41,890
Okay, let him go.

1012
00:56:41,970 --> 00:56:43,250
Come on, Dice. A big natural.

1013
00:56:44,190 --> 00:56:45,370
Well, we'll lose it if he wins.

1014
00:56:46,270 --> 00:56:49,190
There goes the bassinet. Get your bets
down, boys. Get your bets down.

1015
00:56:52,150 --> 00:56:53,150
Okay, let him go.

1016
00:56:53,630 --> 00:56:55,130
Not natural. Not natural.

1017
00:56:57,040 --> 00:56:58,700
Her face is a loser. The field wins
again.

1018
00:56:59,400 --> 00:57:00,680
There goes the baby carriage.

1019
00:57:01,420 --> 00:57:03,000
Get your bets up, boys. Get your bets
up.

1020
00:57:12,140 --> 00:57:13,019
Coming out.

1021
00:57:13,020 --> 00:57:14,800
Come on, Dice. Don't let Papa down.

1022
00:57:15,220 --> 00:57:16,220
Unnatural.

1023
00:57:16,480 --> 00:57:17,480
Wars the line.

1024
00:57:17,860 --> 00:57:19,180
Come on, little Joe.

1025
00:57:19,760 --> 00:57:21,940
Three eights. Three eights. Come on,
three eights.

1026
00:57:22,780 --> 00:57:23,780
Seven a loser.

1027
00:57:25,490 --> 00:57:26,490
Yeah, little Joe.

1028
00:57:27,350 --> 00:57:28,350
Thanks, Judah.

1029
00:58:02,860 --> 00:58:04,940
You might have telephoned me that you
were going to be gone all night.

1030
00:58:05,280 --> 00:58:06,320
I waited up for you.

1031
00:58:06,620 --> 00:58:08,480
Very considerate. Very considerate
indeed.

1032
00:58:10,640 --> 00:58:11,640
What are you looking for?

1033
00:58:11,800 --> 00:58:12,759
A job.

1034
00:58:12,760 --> 00:58:14,320
What you need is a good day's sleep.

1035
00:58:15,060 --> 00:58:16,060
Thanks. I get two.

1036
00:58:17,040 --> 00:58:19,400
Where are you going all dressed up? To
work. It's all of nine.

1037
00:58:19,900 --> 00:58:20,900
Oh, yeah, work.

1038
00:58:20,920 --> 00:58:21,920
I remember now.

1039
00:58:22,920 --> 00:58:25,840
Take a note, Miss Keating. Remind me to
look for a job when I wake up.

1040
00:58:26,320 --> 00:58:27,920
Well, that's one thing we won't worry
about.

1041
00:58:28,240 --> 00:58:29,240
We'll manage.

1042
00:58:29,560 --> 00:58:32,020
We'll just explain gently to Josephine
that she'll...

1043
00:58:32,360 --> 00:58:33,400
You'd have to wait a while.

1044
00:58:42,080 --> 00:58:43,180
Now what are you looking for?

1045
00:58:44,660 --> 00:58:46,860
Well, if you tell me what you want, I'll
find it for you.

1046
00:58:47,440 --> 00:58:48,440
The bank book.

1047
00:58:50,820 --> 00:58:51,820
What bank book?

1048
00:58:51,880 --> 00:58:53,300
You know what bank book. The baby fund.

1049
00:58:54,560 --> 00:58:55,880
Well, what are you going to do with it?

1050
00:58:56,680 --> 00:58:58,400
That's not your money or mine either.

1051
00:58:59,640 --> 00:59:01,040
We can't touch that at all.

1052
00:59:02,629 --> 00:59:06,350
Suppose I told you I've already touched
it Suppose I told you I've gambled away

1053
00:59:06,350 --> 00:59:09,050
every cent of it and more besides and
suppose I told you I was going to change

1054
00:59:09,050 --> 00:59:11,210
My address to the county jail as I made
good the checks. I drove.

1055
00:59:11,570 --> 00:59:12,570
What do you think of that?

1056
00:59:22,230 --> 00:59:26,950
You won't have to change the order dress
You'd quit guess me when I ask you this

1057
00:59:26,950 --> 00:59:30,340
wouldn't happen still happy on that I do
You and your ten -cent pride trying to

1058
00:59:30,340 --> 00:59:33,200
make a noise like a husband, then going
out and acting like a spoiled brat.

1059
00:59:33,520 --> 00:59:36,040
The big, strong home protector, the
breadwinner, the provider.

1060
00:59:36,680 --> 00:59:39,780
Too proud to let your wife work, but not
too proud to rob a baby bank. What's

1061
00:59:39,780 --> 00:59:42,120
wrong with a man trying to make enough
money so he doesn't have to stand by

1062
00:59:42,120 --> 00:59:44,140
watching the whole Benson family make a
love to his wife?

1063
00:59:44,420 --> 00:59:46,200
If we'd afford it, I'd have a nervous
breakdown.

1064
00:59:47,340 --> 00:59:49,300
Breakdown? Fat chance for your big ego.

1065
00:59:49,680 --> 00:59:53,500
The baby eye in our home can all go as
far as you're concerned, so long as the

1066
00:59:53,500 --> 00:59:55,120
chamber's flag keeps flying in the
breeze.

1067
00:59:55,820 --> 00:59:57,240
You'll forgive me if I've had enough.

1068
00:59:57,560 --> 00:59:59,060
If you don't forgive me, I've still had
enough.

1069
00:59:59,480 --> 01:00:00,500
Coffee's on the top shelf.

1070
01:00:00,860 --> 01:00:01,860
No cream.

1071
01:00:02,200 --> 01:00:03,200
I'm going to work.

1072
01:00:03,400 --> 01:00:04,860
Give my love to the Benson's.

1073
01:00:05,780 --> 01:00:06,840
Here's something you overlooked.

1074
01:00:12,760 --> 01:00:13,120
Another

1075
01:00:13,120 --> 01:00:21,040
little

1076
01:00:21,040 --> 01:00:23,560
drink, sir? Oh, no, no, no, no. I know
my limit.

1077
01:00:24,060 --> 01:00:25,060
Well,

1078
01:00:25,140 --> 01:00:26,480
just put a head on this.

1079
01:00:27,540 --> 01:00:28,860
Where is it at?

1080
01:00:29,180 --> 01:00:30,700
That is probably with me.

1081
01:00:32,060 --> 01:00:33,060
Oh.

1082
01:00:34,680 --> 01:00:35,680
Oh, here we go.

1083
01:00:36,960 --> 01:00:38,060
Frederick Chambers.

1084
01:00:38,320 --> 01:00:39,320
That's me.

1085
01:00:40,580 --> 01:00:44,080
Frederick Chambers is summoned to report
to Superior Court.

1086
01:00:44,300 --> 01:00:46,420
Plain ordinary court wasn't good enough
for her.

1087
01:00:46,720 --> 01:00:48,640
No, she's got to have Superior Court.

1088
01:00:48,880 --> 01:00:53,400
Yeah, yeah. Before Judge Siegelwasser.

1089
01:00:54,390 --> 01:00:59,870
10 a .m. May 12th. Oh, Freddy, it's
terrible. You know, the thought of you

1090
01:00:59,870 --> 01:01:02,190
young people bringing up distresses me.

1091
01:01:02,530 --> 01:01:08,930
It makes me feel so... Um, JJ's not
here. Go ahead and crack your knuckles.

1092
01:01:08,950 --> 01:01:11,250
thank you. The place is yours, Milo.

1093
01:01:11,610 --> 01:01:12,610
Now, here.

1094
01:01:12,950 --> 01:01:13,950
All right, there.

1095
01:01:14,650 --> 01:01:19,070
Greatest cure for distress known to man.
Oh, no, no, no, I've had enough. I...

1096
01:01:19,070 --> 01:01:21,590
No, no, I'd rather not. I...

1097
01:01:22,220 --> 01:01:23,240
Well, if you insist.

1098
01:01:24,420 --> 01:01:27,380
Why, Chambers, I suppose to congratulate
you on your new job.

1099
01:01:27,620 --> 01:01:28,620
Why not?

1100
01:01:29,040 --> 01:01:30,440
When are you sailing and why?

1101
01:01:30,980 --> 01:01:32,800
Hey, Klopp, want to come along?

1102
01:01:33,080 --> 01:01:33,799
To China?

1103
01:01:33,800 --> 01:01:37,500
Not for twice the tea they're giving
you. I once did publicity for a South

1104
01:01:37,500 --> 01:01:40,960
American revolution, and that was
enough. Hey, look. See that scar?

1105
01:01:41,480 --> 01:01:43,140
Oh, a machine gun bullet?

1106
01:01:43,700 --> 01:01:45,600
Heck no, a general's wife.

1107
01:01:47,280 --> 01:01:50,680
I'll leave the suicidal instincts to you
young fellas. Good luck. Bye.

1108
01:01:51,120 --> 01:01:52,520
Thanks, old man. Thank you.

1109
01:01:52,840 --> 01:01:55,040
I get it now, sir. That's it.

1110
01:01:55,600 --> 01:02:00,380
To get her back, you're going to risk
your neck to make a lot of money

1111
01:02:00,460 --> 01:02:01,620
That's the idea, isn't it?

1112
01:02:02,140 --> 01:02:04,400
Milo, you've been drenched.

1113
01:02:06,680 --> 01:02:08,800
I kind of envy you going to China,
though.

1114
01:02:10,500 --> 01:02:11,500
Mysterious Orient.

1115
01:02:11,860 --> 01:02:14,380
Must be a wonderful land of adventure,
huh?

1116
01:02:14,840 --> 01:02:17,260
Land of 200 bucks a week for six months.

1117
01:02:17,520 --> 01:02:18,740
It could last that long.

1118
01:02:19,300 --> 01:02:21,830
That settles it. My mind is made up,
Freddie.

1119
01:02:22,390 --> 01:02:27,210
I've been in Madam Benson's clutches for
18 years. I'm going with you. Come on.

1120
01:02:27,210 --> 01:02:29,510
What are we waiting for? Let's get
going. Come on.

1121
01:02:29,790 --> 01:02:33,570
Go without saying goodbye to the madam?
Oh, sure. But we can't do it this

1122
01:02:33,570 --> 01:02:37,650
afternoon. She's going to be busy with
Ralph's grand opening of the perfume

1123
01:02:37,650 --> 01:02:38,650
department or something.

1124
01:02:38,870 --> 01:02:42,650
Oh, my. Did you say grand opening? Yes.
Perfume department? Perfume department.

1125
01:02:42,750 --> 01:02:46,990
And it's too bad, too, because we should
make a gesture of farewell.

1126
01:02:47,190 --> 01:02:48,190
You know, Milo.

1127
01:02:48,540 --> 01:02:50,980
We are going to make a gesture of
farewell.

1128
01:02:51,240 --> 01:02:52,240
What do you mean by that?

1129
01:02:52,260 --> 01:02:55,440
Let's not doubt it. Come on, there's
men's work to be done. Well, what do you

1130
01:02:55,440 --> 01:02:57,840
mean by that? I'll tell you all about
it, Milo.

1131
01:03:03,960 --> 01:03:05,480
Afternoon, Mr. Everett. Yeah, hello,
Joe.

1132
01:03:05,740 --> 01:03:09,460
Take the rest of the day off, will you?
Oh, thank you, sir. Yes, sir. Thank you.

1133
01:03:11,340 --> 01:03:12,340
Scummy dog.

1134
01:03:13,840 --> 01:03:16,260
In combining the popular gown, blue
mitten.

1135
01:03:16,600 --> 01:03:21,680
With the excitingly new odor, lingering
lotus, Madame Bentham has again

1136
01:03:21,680 --> 01:03:23,700
displayed the perfect balance and taste.

1137
01:03:24,520 --> 01:03:25,520
Well,

1138
01:03:27,480 --> 01:03:29,240
that's a very novel idea you have here.

1139
01:03:29,440 --> 01:03:30,440
Beautiful, beautiful.

1140
01:03:30,500 --> 01:03:34,060
What have you got that would go with
black lace? I'm interested in a widow.

1141
01:03:34,060 --> 01:03:35,320
are interested in a widow.

1142
01:03:35,600 --> 01:03:36,600
Pardon me, please.

1143
01:03:36,640 --> 01:03:38,920
Excuse me. My, what a cute little pink
knee.

1144
01:03:39,240 --> 01:03:43,760
May I hold him? Oh, yes, yes. But don't
point it at anyone, will you?

1145
01:03:44,280 --> 01:03:49,440
Imagine yourself clad in old lace, the
fragrance of lavender drifting through a

1146
01:03:49,440 --> 01:03:50,440
moonlit garden.

1147
01:03:50,660 --> 01:03:52,260
Something's come into the garden.

1148
01:03:52,640 --> 01:03:56,660
And now comes the breeze from the South
Sea, its exotic odor.

1149
01:04:13,130 --> 01:04:14,089
Hello, hello, Vincent.

1150
01:04:14,090 --> 01:04:17,130
Had any brilliant new ideas lately? Why
don't you guys get out of here? You

1151
01:04:17,130 --> 01:04:20,330
shouldn't talk to a customer that way
now. Listen to your mama. A customer's

1152
01:04:20,330 --> 01:04:21,069
always right.

1153
01:04:21,070 --> 01:04:22,070
How much is this?

1154
01:04:22,630 --> 01:04:23,630
$60. $60.

1155
01:04:23,850 --> 01:04:24,850
50 cents.

1156
01:04:25,510 --> 01:04:26,530
So sorry, I slipped.

1157
01:04:26,750 --> 01:04:30,650
Shock, you know. Listen, Chambers, if I
were in better shape... $45.

1158
01:04:31,030 --> 01:04:32,030
Oh, my God.

1159
01:04:32,790 --> 01:04:34,110
So sorry, I slipped.

1160
01:04:34,390 --> 01:04:35,390
$40 for that.

1161
01:04:51,210 --> 01:04:55,150
Don't hand me. I'm perfectly capable of
locomotion. I suppose you're aware, Mr.

1162
01:04:55,230 --> 01:04:57,350
Chambers, that I could have you put in
jail for a long time.

1163
01:04:57,650 --> 01:05:01,450
Leaving a clear field for your son to
marry my wife. Not bad, Madam Benson.

1164
01:05:01,450 --> 01:05:02,428
bad at all.

1165
01:05:02,430 --> 01:05:03,430
Say that again.

1166
01:05:03,810 --> 01:05:06,230
Don't tell me the idea hasn't occurred
to Madam.

1167
01:05:07,330 --> 01:05:08,830
I want to speak to these men alone.

1168
01:05:09,250 --> 01:05:10,510
Don't you want to prefer charges?

1169
01:05:10,810 --> 01:05:12,990
We're holding one of the skunks as a
material witness.

1170
01:05:13,290 --> 01:05:15,010
No. Please leave. All of you.

1171
01:05:17,090 --> 01:05:18,890
How long have you and Joan been married?

1172
01:05:19,230 --> 01:05:22,430
We spent our honeymoon weekend two years
ago working overtime on your fall

1173
01:05:22,430 --> 01:05:23,430
inventory sale.

1174
01:05:24,230 --> 01:05:25,230
When did you separate?

1175
01:05:25,690 --> 01:05:28,610
About 12 hours after you fired me. Any
more questions?

1176
01:05:29,510 --> 01:05:30,990
No? Then I'll ask you some.

1177
01:05:31,550 --> 01:05:34,830
Madam Benson, has it ever occurred to
you what a wicked old fluff you really

1178
01:05:34,830 --> 01:05:38,970
are? If it hasn't, just stop sometime
and find out what people around here

1179
01:05:38,970 --> 01:05:39,549
of you.

1180
01:05:39,550 --> 01:05:42,770
I don't mean the old fossils who buy
your clothes. I mean the people who sew

1181
01:05:42,770 --> 01:05:44,330
design and sell them. The little people.

1182
01:05:44,970 --> 01:05:48,070
Peggy Manahan, the girl you fired
because she was supporting her husband

1183
01:05:48,070 --> 01:05:49,070
was out of work.

1184
01:05:49,380 --> 01:05:52,640
Milo, who's had everything decent
knocked out of him after working 18

1185
01:05:52,640 --> 01:05:53,640
under your thumb.

1186
01:05:53,840 --> 01:05:57,220
But one of these days, Madam Benson is
going to fall out of her little niche,

1187
01:05:57,380 --> 01:05:59,540
smack on her million -dollar bustle.

1188
01:06:00,360 --> 01:06:01,440
Oh, what's the use?

1189
01:06:01,660 --> 01:06:04,420
I'd need an anti -tank gun to penetrate
that arm of yours.

1190
01:06:05,100 --> 01:06:07,440
Good day. Sorry if I haven't disturbed
you.

1191
01:06:08,900 --> 01:06:10,800
Well, Milo, what have you to say for
yourself?

1192
01:06:22,280 --> 01:06:25,140
I've been wanting to do that, Madden
Benson, for 18 years.

1193
01:06:25,740 --> 01:06:27,380
At last, I'm a free soul.

1194
01:06:27,860 --> 01:06:31,100
Master of my destiny. Captain of my
fate. Sit down.

1195
01:06:31,340 --> 01:06:32,340
I will not sit down.

1196
01:06:32,680 --> 01:06:34,080
And stop cracking your knuckles.

1197
01:06:34,280 --> 01:06:37,700
I will not stop cracking my knuckles.
And furthermore, if I had one ounce of

1198
01:06:37,700 --> 01:06:40,380
blood in my veins, I'd be going with
him. Going where?

1199
01:06:40,740 --> 01:06:44,700
To China, that's where. To risk his neck
at some fool publicity job because

1200
01:06:44,700 --> 01:06:49,380
there's $400 a week in it. For his wife.
Not for him, but for his wife.

1201
01:06:49,960 --> 01:06:50,960
He's leaving tonight.

1202
01:06:51,340 --> 01:06:54,000
And it's a dangerous job, and he might
not come back.

1203
01:06:54,480 --> 01:06:55,720
Now, what do you think of that?

1204
01:06:56,280 --> 01:06:58,280
Thank you. Thank you for telling me.

1205
01:07:00,860 --> 01:07:07,060
Well, I guess that's all, so far as I'm
concerned. So I'll pack my things and

1206
01:07:07,060 --> 01:07:08,060
go.

1207
01:07:08,800 --> 01:07:09,820
Yes, yes, of course.

1208
01:07:10,720 --> 01:07:14,000
It's been a terrible 18 years, but I'm
sorry to leave.

1209
01:07:14,680 --> 01:07:16,540
Am I going to have trouble with you,
too?

1210
01:07:16,920 --> 01:07:19,520
Take tomorrow off and be back to work
Monday morning.

1211
01:07:21,000 --> 01:07:23,600
You mean you want me to just ask you...
Yes, yes.

1212
01:07:23,900 --> 01:07:24,879
Go on.

1213
01:07:24,880 --> 01:07:26,320
Oh, thank you, Madam Benson.

1214
01:07:26,760 --> 01:07:27,760
Thank you.

1215
01:07:33,260 --> 01:07:34,260
Hello,

1216
01:07:44,060 --> 01:07:45,380
Mother. Good evening, Madam Benson.

1217
01:07:45,780 --> 01:07:47,920
We kept you so late, darling. Picking up
broken bottles?

1218
01:07:48,180 --> 01:07:49,940
Yes, and some other surprises as well.

1219
01:07:50,730 --> 01:07:53,410
Your husband and I had a very
interesting monologue this afternoon.

1220
01:07:53,710 --> 01:07:56,790
He's a more positive character than I
thought. I'm afraid I'm not much

1221
01:07:56,790 --> 01:07:58,210
interested in his character, Madam
Benson.

1222
01:07:58,490 --> 01:08:01,730
I was just telling Ralph I'm getting a
divorce.

1223
01:08:02,030 --> 01:08:05,830
Oh, really? Well, I'm quite relieved.
And in that case, his going away can't

1224
01:08:05,830 --> 01:08:06,830
matter very much to him.

1225
01:08:07,110 --> 01:08:08,049
Going away?

1226
01:08:08,050 --> 01:08:10,450
Yes, to some outlandish place. China, I
believe.

1227
01:08:10,670 --> 01:08:11,670
China? Why China?

1228
01:08:11,750 --> 01:08:15,010
Oh, heaven only knows. He's accepted
some idiotic job that will probably cost

1229
01:08:15,010 --> 01:08:16,010
him his life.

1230
01:08:16,260 --> 01:08:20,240
He's got some sophomoric idea that
making a lot of money quickly will solve

1231
01:08:20,240 --> 01:08:23,640
your problems. Well, good riddance, I
say. Come, let's go into dinner.

1232
01:08:23,880 --> 01:08:24,880
Wait, Madam Benson.

1233
01:08:24,899 --> 01:08:26,300
He couldn't do a thing like this.

1234
01:08:26,979 --> 01:08:27,979
Just as I thought.

1235
01:08:28,979 --> 01:08:29,979
Look at me, child.

1236
01:08:30,680 --> 01:08:33,160
It's bad enough for old fools like me to
make mistakes.

1237
01:08:34,920 --> 01:08:36,560
His boat sails in an hour.

1238
01:08:37,160 --> 01:08:38,160
Oh, that's great news.

1239
01:08:38,460 --> 01:08:41,180
What do you expect Joan to do about it?
I think that's up to Joan.

1240
01:08:41,859 --> 01:08:43,460
Can you send for your car, Madam Benson?

1241
01:08:46,890 --> 01:08:50,029
Just a minute, Joan. Don't you think
Milo can wave his hanky from the dock as

1242
01:08:50,029 --> 01:08:53,050
well as you? Please, Ralph. He's
probably still drunk and doesn't know

1243
01:08:53,050 --> 01:08:54,050
doing.

1244
01:08:54,649 --> 01:08:56,990
Yes, madame? Tell Simmons to get the car
in front, quickly.

1245
01:08:57,229 --> 01:08:59,569
But Simmons is gone for the evening,
madame. Oh, so he has.

1246
01:08:59,810 --> 01:09:00,810
Ralph will drive you then.

1247
01:09:01,109 --> 01:09:02,970
Oh, Ralph will not. What did you say?

1248
01:09:03,450 --> 01:09:06,750
I'm sorry, darling, but for my part,
Fred Chambers is better off in China,

1249
01:09:06,750 --> 01:09:08,850
refuse to be an accomplice in slitting
my own throat.

1250
01:09:09,130 --> 01:09:10,130
Please, Ralph.

1251
01:09:10,930 --> 01:09:11,930
Do you love him?

1252
01:09:12,450 --> 01:09:15,590
No, but I... I don't want him killing
himself over me.

1253
01:09:15,810 --> 01:09:16,739
Why not?

1254
01:09:16,740 --> 01:09:18,640
Ralph, for the last time, will you drive
her to Chambers?

1255
01:09:18,880 --> 01:09:21,979
Sorry, but I'm going to drink a bon
voyage toast to a departing friend.

1256
01:09:22,260 --> 01:09:25,120
Can you drive, child? No, madam, then.
Very well, I'll drive you myself.

1257
01:09:25,460 --> 01:09:28,420
Uh -oh, mother hasn't driven a car in 20
years. You still want to go? Yes.

1258
01:09:29,399 --> 01:09:32,620
Good luck, ladies. Phone me from the
hospital. I'll send you a basket of

1259
01:09:32,620 --> 01:09:33,620
figs.

1260
01:09:38,840 --> 01:09:40,399
Where are you going, you poor looker?

1261
01:09:41,439 --> 01:09:44,899
This operates a little differently from
the electric model I learned on.

1262
01:10:03,530 --> 01:10:06,330
Fred, that any man who travels... Fred!

1263
01:10:07,130 --> 01:10:08,130
Hello, Joan, dear.

1264
01:10:08,350 --> 01:10:09,910
Hello, Henry. Hello, Joan, dear.

1265
01:10:10,470 --> 01:10:11,470
Well, good evening, ladies.

1266
01:10:11,750 --> 01:10:13,030
Sorry I haven't time to serve tea.

1267
01:10:13,250 --> 01:10:16,510
I detest tea. My only person coming was
to deliver Mrs. Chambers. How nice.

1268
01:10:16,730 --> 01:10:18,250
You have no business here, have you,
Milo?

1269
01:10:18,590 --> 01:10:19,610
Not now, no.

1270
01:10:19,870 --> 01:10:23,050
Milo is driving me to the boat. Get the
car in front, will you, Milo? All right,

1271
01:10:23,070 --> 01:10:24,490
but my heart won't be in it.

1272
01:10:25,090 --> 01:10:26,870
Call us if you need anything, either of
you.

1273
01:10:29,770 --> 01:10:32,750
And now, young man, perhaps you'll
explain this little jaunt of yours.

1274
01:10:32,990 --> 01:10:36,050
It's just the call of spring that makes
me want to send picture postcards with X

1275
01:10:36,050 --> 01:10:38,970
showing my room. I long for a land where
they never heard of fashion trends.

1276
01:10:39,230 --> 01:10:42,490
You can understand, Madam Benson. I
cannot, and I hate stupidity.

1277
01:10:42,970 --> 01:10:46,090
Furthermore, I hope that you'll meet
several antagonistic submarines.

1278
01:10:47,010 --> 01:10:48,410
I'll wait for you outside, Joan.

1279
01:10:50,110 --> 01:10:51,870
Why do you always have to make things so
tough?

1280
01:10:53,450 --> 01:10:55,470
You can't pack. You never could.

1281
01:10:56,780 --> 01:10:59,340
Now that we're alone, you might tell me
the truth about this China business.

1282
01:11:00,340 --> 01:11:03,160
Do you suppose you'd recognize the truth
if you heard it? I know why you're

1283
01:11:03,160 --> 01:11:05,760
going. You were probably too drunk to
know what it was all about when you took

1284
01:11:05,760 --> 01:11:08,580
the job, and now you're ashamed to back
out. You ought to know all about drunks.

1285
01:11:08,660 --> 01:11:11,860
Being private secretary, they're one of
the best. I assure you that Ralph Benson

1286
01:11:11,860 --> 01:11:14,760
at his worst would have more brains than
to do anything as ridiculous as this.

1287
01:11:15,200 --> 01:11:19,120
And why is the ex -Mrs. Chambers to be
so concerned about what I do? Believe

1288
01:11:19,140 --> 01:11:20,520
my sweet, I don't give a hoot what you
do.

1289
01:11:20,740 --> 01:11:23,980
I mean, I hate to see a man I once
respected make a fool of himself over

1290
01:11:25,270 --> 01:11:26,430
A melodramatic whim.

1291
01:11:27,030 --> 01:11:28,730
Don't be reactionary, Mrs. Chambers.

1292
01:11:29,130 --> 01:11:31,910
Where would you be today if Columbus' ex
-wife talked him out of traveling?

1293
01:11:33,510 --> 01:11:34,990
What about the food over there?

1294
01:11:35,950 --> 01:11:37,630
Charmaine always did make you big, yes?

1295
01:11:38,390 --> 01:11:41,770
Remember? My stomach's been much better
these last few weeks.

1296
01:11:44,050 --> 01:11:47,430
How about this carpet? It's awfully
dirty. I could rinse it out for you.

1297
01:11:47,430 --> 01:11:49,410
bother. I'm going to the land of
laundries.

1298
01:11:49,850 --> 01:11:53,630
If you're still going, the car's out
front. We have exactly 12 minutes. Here.

1299
01:11:54,530 --> 01:11:56,110
I wish somebody else was driving.

1300
01:11:56,370 --> 01:11:58,030
Oh, Joan, can't you do something?

1301
01:11:58,890 --> 01:12:00,510
Skip the certain mile. I'll be down in a
minute.

1302
01:12:03,670 --> 01:12:07,290
Fred, don't go. Look, if I don't get
downstairs in 30 seconds, I'll miss the

1303
01:12:07,290 --> 01:12:08,290
boat. Well, miss it then.

1304
01:12:08,610 --> 01:12:12,510
Please. Fred, remember what you said to
me. Here we are fighting what we should

1305
01:12:12,510 --> 01:12:14,050
be loving. I remember that.

1306
01:12:14,550 --> 01:12:17,590
That's all I do remember ever since you
went so far away from me. Far?

1307
01:12:18,150 --> 01:12:20,450
I've been a couple blocks away all the
time. No, you haven't.

1308
01:12:21,050 --> 01:12:23,850
You've been on the other side of the
world, and it's time you came back to

1309
01:12:24,250 --> 01:12:26,890
Even if, like your father, you bring
only the will and the justful favor.

1310
01:12:28,870 --> 01:12:29,849
Louder, Emily.

1311
01:12:29,850 --> 01:12:33,270
Louder. No, it wouldn't work. We'd be
right back where we started. Sure we

1312
01:12:33,270 --> 01:12:36,470
would, with bills and budgets and you
working so we could have a baby with a

1313
01:12:36,470 --> 01:12:37,810
silver spoon and a fancy wardrobe.

1314
01:12:38,710 --> 01:12:40,710
No, we'll try it my way this time.

1315
01:12:57,000 --> 01:12:58,280
Don't forget the picture postcard.

1316
01:13:32,910 --> 01:13:34,690
Maybe we should answer it. What a ring.

1317
01:13:35,530 --> 01:13:36,530
Maybe it's important.

1318
01:13:37,190 --> 01:13:38,590
Who's the master of this house?

1319
01:13:39,150 --> 01:13:40,410
You are, Nidova.

1320
01:13:45,090 --> 01:13:46,690
Hello, Western Union calling.

1321
01:13:46,910 --> 01:13:48,230
Is Mr. Fred Chambers there?

1322
01:13:50,210 --> 01:13:51,690
Yes, this is Mr. Chambers.

1323
01:13:52,210 --> 01:13:53,730
We have a telegram for you.

1324
01:13:53,930 --> 01:13:55,770
Collect. All right, go ahead.

1325
01:13:56,410 --> 01:14:00,590
Please rush $200. My wife is going to
have a baby. Signed, Uncle George.

1326
01:14:01,480 --> 01:14:02,820
Take an answer. Collect.

1327
01:14:03,480 --> 01:14:05,160
Sorry. So is mine.
