1
00:01:16,326 --> 00:01:17,498
WOMAN: [NARRATING] To begin With,

2
00:01:17,578 --> 00:01:19,672
all the incidents and
characters in this story

3
00:01:19,746 --> 00:01:21,498
might be fictitious

4
00:01:21,623 --> 00:01:23,921
and any resemblance to you or me

5
00:01:24,001 --> 00:01:26,174
might be purely coincidental.

6
00:01:27,170 --> 00:01:28,968
The name of the town isn't important.

7
00:01:29,047 --> 00:01:31,425
It's the one that's just
28 minutes from the big city...

8
00:01:31,508 --> 00:01:34,261
Twenty-three if you catch
the Morning Express.

9
00:01:34,344 --> 00:01:38,019
It's on a river, and it's got houses
and stores and churches

10
00:01:38,223 --> 00:01:40,191
and a Main Street.

11
00:01:40,350 --> 00:01:42,398
Nothing fancy like Broadway or Market.

12
00:01:42,769 --> 00:01:44,487
Just plain Main.

13
00:01:44,813 --> 00:01:46,565
Drugs, dry goods, shoes,

14
00:01:46,648 --> 00:01:50,903
those horrible little chain stores
that breed like rabbits.

15
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,699
Also a street for the upper,
the exclusive of the town,

16
00:01:54,906 --> 00:01:58,206
where the country-club set live
when they're not at the country club.

17
00:01:58,368 --> 00:02:01,121
This is the first Saturday in May

18
00:02:01,204 --> 00:02:05,209
and tonight the first dinner dance
of the country-club season.

19
00:02:07,544 --> 00:02:10,969
Well, anyway, this house belongs to
Brad and Deborah Bishop,

20
00:02:11,048 --> 00:02:13,426
two of my dearest friends.

21
00:02:13,717 --> 00:02:16,220
Brad bought this house
before he went to war.

22
00:02:16,428 --> 00:02:19,022
It was Brad who gave me
my first black eye and...

23
00:02:19,097 --> 00:02:21,816
And my first kiss.

24
00:02:21,892 --> 00:02:26,398
Well, when he came home from the war,
he came home with a wife, Deborah.

25
00:02:31,234 --> 00:02:34,534
Thomasino said to tell you he found
room for your briefcase in the bag.

26
00:02:34,613 --> 00:02:36,741
Good for Thomasino.

27
00:02:36,823 --> 00:02:38,325
Why'd you have him pack a bag?

28
00:02:38,408 --> 00:02:40,285
Because I know these
Saturday conferences.

29
00:02:40,369 --> 00:02:43,964
A bit like Saturday poker games,
don't plan on doing anything Sunday.

30
00:02:44,039 --> 00:02:47,509
It's strange, your not letting me know
when you plan to be away overnight.

31
00:02:47,584 --> 00:02:51,009
This is just in case, darling.
There's no telling how late it'll be.

32
00:02:51,088 --> 00:02:54,843
And I like my own pajamas between me
and the sheets in a Turkish bath.

33
00:02:54,925 --> 00:02:57,178
You'll phone this afternoon,
though, either way, won't you?

34
00:02:57,260 --> 00:02:59,308
And leave word, even if I'm not here?

35
00:02:59,388 --> 00:03:01,356
Just where might you be
when I call if not here?

36
00:03:01,431 --> 00:03:04,025
First Saturday in May, remember?
The Settlement House Picnic.

37
00:03:04,101 --> 00:03:06,524
That's right. The Women's Club thing.
Like it?

38
00:03:06,603 --> 00:03:08,822
Anything to do with kids.
You know that.

39
00:03:08,897 --> 00:03:11,320
What are you wearing tonight?

40
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,619
I've got the one
you liked so much in Vogue.

41
00:03:13,694 --> 00:03:16,538
- But if you're staying in town...
-What color?

42
00:03:16,613 --> 00:03:19,787
Black, like you said.
Brad, I don't want to go without you.

43
00:03:19,866 --> 00:03:21,868
Darling, it's the first
dinner dance of the season.

44
00:03:21,952 --> 00:03:24,796
- If I only knew you were gonna be there.
-I will be if I can,

45
00:03:24,871 --> 00:03:27,169
and if I can't, why should
that throw you into a panic?

46
00:03:27,249 --> 00:03:29,752
What are you afraid of,
anyway, Deborah?

47
00:03:31,294 --> 00:03:33,513
- Good morning, Thomasino.
-Morning, Mr. Bishop.

48
00:03:36,758 --> 00:03:38,180
I'm not in a panic.

49
00:03:38,260 --> 00:03:39,807
Well, then?

50
00:03:40,971 --> 00:03:44,976
It's just that suddenly the thought of going
to that dance tonight without you...

51
00:03:49,980 --> 00:03:52,403
- Brad?
-Hmm?

52
00:03:52,482 --> 00:03:55,952
Addie Ross, she used to be
sort of your ideal, wasn't she?

53
00:03:56,111 --> 00:03:58,239
Now how did Addie
get into this conversation?

54
00:03:58,613 --> 00:04:00,081
I never knew you read Vogue.

55
00:04:00,157 --> 00:04:02,251
I never thought men bothered
much about it.

56
00:04:02,325 --> 00:04:03,577
What's Vogue got to do with it?

57
00:04:03,660 --> 00:04:06,038
I told you I picked it up on the train
coming home one night.

58
00:04:06,121 --> 00:04:08,374
- Some woman had left it behind.
-Some woman.

59
00:04:08,457 --> 00:04:09,504
Yes, some woman.

60
00:04:09,708 --> 00:04:12,086
I thumbed through it and saw a dress
I thought would look smart on you.

61
00:04:12,169 --> 00:04:13,170
What's wrong with that?

62
00:04:14,588 --> 00:04:16,807
Nothing, I guess. Nothing at all.

63
00:04:16,882 --> 00:04:20,136
- I should hope not.
-Well, I've gotta pick up Rita.

64
00:04:20,218 --> 00:04:23,142
- You'll phone about tonight, won't you?
-I told you I would.

65
00:04:25,307 --> 00:04:27,355
It just so happens that
the dress I bought,

66
00:04:27,434 --> 00:04:30,108
that you picked out of Vogue that some
woman happened to leave on the train,

67
00:04:30,187 --> 00:04:33,908
is exactly the dress that Addie Ross
wore to the concert two weeks ago!

68
00:04:38,278 --> 00:04:40,326
Hot toast, Mr. Bishop.

69
00:04:46,036 --> 00:04:50,007
WOMAN: [NARRATING] She won't stay
mad at him long. She's too much in love.

70
00:04:50,081 --> 00:04:52,800
Pretty soon,
she'll be full of self-reproach.

71
00:04:52,876 --> 00:04:55,129
[CHUCKLES] Women are so silly.

<i>Now, this is that street where people</i>
<i>on the way up and on the way down</i>

73
00:04:59,508 --> 00:05:01,727
live alongside each other for awhile.

74
00:05:01,843 --> 00:05:03,891
Rita and George Phipps
are on their way up,

75
00:05:03,970 --> 00:05:05,893
that is, if Rita has her way.

76
00:05:05,972 --> 00:05:08,771
And that's the only way
she'll have any part of, thank you.

77
00:05:08,934 --> 00:05:12,438
There she is now.
Ready, waiting. That's Rita.

78
00:05:16,900 --> 00:05:18,994
Hi. You're late.
I won't be a minute.

79
00:05:19,069 --> 00:05:22,414
Just one last look at the twins
and I've gotta give Sadie her check.

80
00:05:30,831 --> 00:05:33,050
On behalf of the underprivileged
children of this town,

81
00:05:33,124 --> 00:05:35,126
I'd like to thank you
over-privileged ladies

82
00:05:35,210 --> 00:05:37,338
for sharing your
excess privileges with us.

83
00:05:37,420 --> 00:05:39,548
There's something odd-looking
about you today, George.

84
00:05:39,631 --> 00:05:42,384
Just that usual two-headed
schoolteacher look.

85
00:05:42,884 --> 00:05:45,683
You're all dressed up. Saturday,
no school, and you're all dressed up.

86
00:05:45,887 --> 00:05:48,185
Just my little old blue serge.

87
00:05:48,265 --> 00:05:52,816
First Saturday of trout season. Brad says
ever since you were big enough lift a fish...

88
00:05:52,894 --> 00:05:54,942
Shh. Listen closely.

89
00:05:55,063 --> 00:05:57,157
Can you hear the grateful murmur
of the trout

90
00:05:57,232 --> 00:05:58,984
as they whisper in the
brooks and streams?

91
00:05:59,067 --> 00:06:02,446
This is what they whisper,
"Phipps will not fish today."

92
00:06:02,946 --> 00:06:05,119
Mm. You're cute. But why?

93
00:06:06,783 --> 00:06:09,627
Because I've got something better to do.

94
00:06:10,161 --> 00:06:11,788
Have a nice day.

95
00:06:16,459 --> 00:06:20,635
Debby, darling, we'll have to stop station.
I've just got to get my copy off on the 8:42.

96
00:06:20,714 --> 00:06:22,307
Do you mind?

97
00:06:28,054 --> 00:06:30,352
What's George being so mysterious about?

98
00:06:30,432 --> 00:06:32,730
I wouldn't know.
It seems we're not talking.

99
00:06:32,809 --> 00:06:35,028
- Oh, I'm sorry.
-Oh, it's just one of those things.

100
00:06:35,103 --> 00:06:38,403
It'll be all right.
Why? Was he acting strangely?

101
00:06:38,481 --> 00:06:42,702
Mm. Not exactly. Well, it's only he's not
going fishing and being all dressed up.

102
00:06:43,028 --> 00:06:44,621
All dressed up?

103
00:06:45,780 --> 00:06:48,499
Why, so he is. His blue suit.

104
00:06:48,658 --> 00:06:53,038
On Saturday of all things.
And no fishing. Hmm.

105
00:06:54,122 --> 00:06:55,669
The radio hasn't been fixed yet.

106

Oh. And they've just gone on the air.

107
00:06:58,793 --> 00:07:02,514
Oh, well. Save myself listening
to the murder of my little brainchild.

108
00:07:02,589 --> 00:07:06,093
Rita, why on earth do you do it?
Five of those radio programs every week.

109
00:07:06,176 --> 00:07:08,144
Up until dawn almost every night.

110
00:07:08,219 --> 00:07:10,938
Because each week
I receive in return 100 pieces

111
00:07:11,014 --> 00:07:14,109
of what Addie Ross calls "the most
restful shade of green in the world."

112
00:07:14,184 --> 00:07:15,857
Unquote. Addie again.

113
00:07:16,227 --> 00:07:19,197
Why is it that sooner or later,
no matter what we talk about,

114
00:07:19,272 --> 00:07:21,695
we wind up talking about Addie Ross?

115
00:07:21,775 --> 00:07:24,324
WOMAN: [NARRATING] Maybe it's because
if you girls didn't talk about me,

116
00:07:24,402 --> 00:07:25,995

You know, I wonder if she knows
how much we do talk about her.

122
00:07:38,792 --> 00:07:41,136
And what we say
and how we feel about her.

123

ADDIE: [NARRATING] I know.
Believe me, I do.

And it doesn't matter.

No. You're the very

Oh. Good idea, Miss Hawkins.

Fine. If they'll only get here.

Well, what do you mean, "left town"?

She certainly could've told someone,
at least phoned.

She's left for good.

some emergency.

What makes you so sure it's for good?
How do you know?

00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,554
Well, the doorman told me
she subleased her apartment last week

147
00:09:09,632 --> 00:09:11,600
and yesterday she sold her car.

I've got a letter for the Mesdames
Bishop, Hollingsway and Phipps.

154
00:09:35,033 --> 00:09:37,456
From the dear departed, I'll bet.

155
00:09:37,535 --> 00:09:40,835
Addie's so tactful.
She even puts us in alphabetical order.

156
00:09:43,541 --> 00:09:45,589
- Open it up.
-No, let's wait.

157
00:09:45,668 --> 00:09:47,966
- For what?
-Till we get back. Knowing Addie...

158
00:09:48,046 --> 00:09:50,174
I mean, why let her spoil our day?

159
00:09:50,256 --> 00:09:54,477
Not my day. Addie Ross never
saw the day she could spoil my day.

160
00:09:54,552 --> 00:09:56,680
Did I put enough days into that?

Lora Mae and Rita.

162
00:10:02,185 --> 00:10:05,860
As you know by now, you'll have to
carry on without me from here.

163
00:10:06,022 --> 00:10:08,741
It isn't easy to
leave a town like our town,

164
00:10:08,817 --> 00:10:11,946
to tear myself away from
you three dear, dear friends

165
00:10:12,112 --> 00:10:13,534
who have meant so much to me.

166
00:10:14,781 --> 00:10:16,875
And so I consider myself extremely lucky

167
00:10:16,950 --> 00:10:19,999
to be able to take with me
a sort of memento.

168
00:10:20,078 --> 00:10:23,958
Something to remind me always
of the town that was my home,

169
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,964
and of my three very dearest friends

00:10:27,043 --> 00:10:29,546
whom I want never to forget.

And I won't.

172
00:10:32,590 --> 00:10:36,436
You see, girls, I've run off with one
of your husbands. Addie.

173
00:10:37,178 --> 00:10:40,148
If that's her idea of a joke,
it's in extremely poor taste.

00:10:40,223 --> 00:10:42,521
If I ever catch up with
that character, I'll...

175
00:10:46,813 --> 00:10:49,657
Ladies, may I suggest...
The captain seems to think...

176
00:10:49,732 --> 00:10:52,360
Well, he's been rude about it.

You can tell me about the changes
when you get here.

607
00:36:24,182 --> 00:36:26,560
Fine. Good-bye, Mrs. Manleigh.

-[CAR APPROACHING]
-There's George.

609
00:36:30,105 --> 00:36:33,029
Changes, changes.
When am I supposed to sleep?

610
00:36:33,108 --> 00:36:37,488
What's, uh, Mr. Phipps gonna be
so perfect for on the radio?

611
00:36:37,696 --> 00:36:40,370
Nothing, and you keep quiet about it.

612
00:36:40,448 --> 00:36:43,918
I will. [GIGGLES] Only he won't.

613
00:36:45,912 --> 00:36:48,335
Good evening one and all.

614
00:36:48,415 --> 00:36:53,216
- Hello, George.
-Well, how now? Why the look of doom?

615
00:36:53,294 --> 00:36:54,466
Ohhh.

616
00:36:55,255 --> 00:36:57,257
Did you forget to baste the ducks?

617
00:36:57,340 --> 00:37:00,765
Look. I don't teach you about teachin'.
Don't you teach me about duck.

618
00:37:00,844 --> 00:37:04,394
Oh, Sadie's been an angel. Looks like I'll be
up most of the night making revisions.

619
00:37:04,472 --> 00:37:05,598
Mrs. Manleigh just called.

620
00:37:05,682 --> 00:37:07,730
But you're giving a dinner party
for her tonight.

621
00:37:07,809 --> 00:37:10,153
She suggested calling it off,
but I wouldn't hear of it.

622
00:37:10,228 --> 00:37:12,071
Why can't Mrs. Manleigh, 
just for once,

623
00:37:12,147 --> 00:37:14,570
tell the sponsor to call off
his wife's revisions?

624
00:37:14,649 --> 00:37:17,323
You don't tell a sponsor
things like that about his wife.

625
00:37:17,402 --> 00:37:19,575
George, you just don't understand.

626
00:37:19,654 --> 00:37:24,251
No, I suppose not. Well, it may not make
your bad news any better,

627
00:37:24,659 --> 00:37:25,956
but I got good news.

628
00:37:26,035 --> 00:37:29,130
Have you, darling? Oh, George,
10 of 7:00. We've gotta get dressed.

629
00:37:29,205 --> 00:37:31,503
- Don't you wanna hear my good news?
-Of course I do.

630
00:37:31,583 --> 00:37:33,585
- Did you get the liquor and cigarettes?
-Right here.

631
00:37:33,668 --> 00:37:38,390
Oh, now, you check the cigarette boxes
while I put the liquor away.

632
00:37:38,465 --> 00:37:41,184
Why does everything have to be full
when guests arrive?

633
00:37:41,259 --> 00:37:45,105
Full cigarette boxes, candy dishes.
Fresh cakes of soap.

634
00:37:45,180 --> 00:37:48,480
Aren't we supposed to eat,
smoke or wash when we're alone?

635
00:37:48,558 --> 00:37:50,777
- Where's the scotch?
-I didn't buy any.

636
00:37:50,852 --> 00:37:51,944
Why not?

637
00:37:52,020 --> 00:37:54,318
Too expensive.
Bourbon's a better drink anyway.

638
00:37:55,023 --> 00:37:57,902
But the Manleighs
are a cinch to want scotch.

639
00:37:57,984 --> 00:37:59,782
People in show business,
you know what I mean.

640
00:37:59,861 --> 00:38:01,488
Those kind always drink scotch.

641
00:38:01,571 --> 00:38:04,575
Well, I know what you mean, but I wish
you wouldn't say it in radio English.

642
00:38:04,657 --> 00:38:06,125
"That kind," not "those kind."

643
00:38:07,118 --> 00:38:10,588
There are men who say "those kind"
who earn $100,000 a year.

644
00:38:11,289 --> 00:38:14,668
There are men who say, "Stick 'em up,"
who earn more. I don't expect to do either.

645
00:38:14,959 --> 00:38:17,053
Nor are you expected to pay for the scotch.

646
00:38:19,714 --> 00:38:22,809
You're quite right.
Funny how it slips my mind,

647
00:38:22,884 --> 00:38:25,603
that in certain respects,
I'm only the titular head of this house.

648
00:38:25,720 --> 00:38:28,769
Oh. Don't be silly, darling.

649
00:38:32,435 --> 00:38:34,654
I thought it very amusing to begin with.

650
00:38:34,729 --> 00:38:37,528
Very, uh, modern and enlightened.

651
00:38:39,359 --> 00:38:41,657
My tuxedo, for instance.

652
00:38:41,736 --> 00:38:44,865
The same tuxedo that for some strange
reason you want me to wear tonight.

653
00:38:45,240 --> 00:38:48,164
Well, what's so wrong about getting
dressed up once in a while?

654
00:38:48,243 --> 00:38:51,918
Nothing at all, unless it's obviously
an attempt at pretense.

655
00:38:54,082 --> 00:38:56,426
And just what is
so pretentious about tonight?

656
00:38:56,751 --> 00:38:59,379
Tonight we'll sit down
to one of Sadie's duck dinners.

657
00:38:59,462 --> 00:39:02,682
Present will be Porter and Lora Mae,
with whom we've had many such dinners

658
00:39:02,757 --> 00:39:04,976
when you wore slacks
and I didn't bother to shave.

659
00:39:05,051 --> 00:39:08,601
But this time, also present will be
two advertising moguls

660
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:09,932
who happen to employ you.

661
00:39:10,056 --> 00:39:12,184
Their presence means
a new uniform for Sadie,

662
00:39:12,267 --> 00:39:14,269
my children prisoners in their room,

663
00:39:14,352 --> 00:39:16,980
and all the pomp and hysteria
usually reserved for coronations.

664
00:39:17,438 --> 00:39:19,111
I call that pretense.

665
00:39:19,774 --> 00:39:22,243
All right. So I'm out to impress the boss.

666
00:39:22,318 --> 00:39:24,036
What do I get for that, 30 years?

667
00:39:24,112 --> 00:39:27,207
Tonight's important to me.
I've planned and worked, shopped,

668
00:39:27,407 --> 00:39:29,580
taken the twins off Sadie's hands,
written my program,

669
00:39:29,659 --> 00:39:31,787
and I'll be up all night tonight
and it's worth it to me.

670
00:39:32,203 --> 00:39:34,331
And as far as dressing's concerned,

671
00:39:34,414 --> 00:39:37,167
you can come in a cowboy suit
for all I care.

672

[SIGHS, GASPS] Ohhh.

673

And why do the chairs have to look
as if nobody ever sat down in them?

674
00:39:44,132 --> 00:39:46,806
[WEEPY] Because they do! Oh.

-And combing out my hair.

679

[CHUCKLES] Good. I'll put the twins to bed

680
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:05,495
and call up the liquor store
to send over the scotch, all right?

681
00:40:09,532 --> 00:40:12,035
George?
-Hmm?

682
00:40:12,368 --> 00:40:14,245
Please no jokes about radio.

683
00:40:14,370 --> 00:40:17,089
I'm afraid they don't have much
of a sense of humor about it.

684
00:40:17,373 --> 00:40:20,252
Oh, neither have I.
The time for joking about it has passed.

685
00:40:20,335 --> 00:40:23,930

problem now, like juvenile delinquency.

-Yeah.

00:52:40,824 --> 00:52:43,828
Well, Keats, Shelley and Marlowe beat her
by a couple of years anyway.

905
00:52:43,911 --> 00:52:45,959
They were immortal before they were 30.

906
00:52:46,038 --> 00:52:49,008
- Classroom stuff.
-Radio writing is the literature of today.

907
00:52:49,083 --> 00:52:52,633
- The literature of the masses!
-Then heaven help the masses.

908
00:52:52,711 --> 00:52:54,805
Well, it just serves
a different purpose, that's all.

909
00:52:55,756 --> 00:52:57,850
The purpose of radio writing,
as far as I can see,

910
00:52:57,925 --> 00:53:00,519
is to prove to the masses
that a deodorant can bring happiness,

911
00:53:00,594 --> 00:53:03,894
a mouthwash guarantee success
and a laxative attract romance.

912
00:53:05,432 --> 00:53:07,105
- Well!
-PORTER: Take it easy, George.

913
00:53:07,184 --> 00:53:09,733
Let him alone.
He'll run longer than Linda Gray.

914
00:53:09,812 --> 00:53:12,406

"and we'll pay you for it.

915

916

"But a yacht and a million dollars
to the gentleman

917
00:53:16,443 --> 00:53:18,116
"for being in our audience tonight."

918
00:53:18,195 --> 00:53:20,914
"Worry," says the radio.
"Will your best friends not tell you?

919
00:53:20,989 --> 00:53:23,663
"Will you lose your teeth?
Will your cigarettes give you cancer?

920
00:53:23,742 --> 00:53:25,836
"Will your body function after you're 35?

921

you lose your husband, your job and die!

922

we'll make you famous!"

923

That's just about enough, George.

924

Don't let it upset you, my dear.
Don't you feel badly.

925
00:53:37,506 --> 00:53:40,760
"Bad," not "badly"!
You feel badly this way!

926
00:53:41,468 --> 00:53:45,814
I have more confidence than ever in your
understanding of domestic problems.

927
00:53:46,140 --> 00:53:48,734
Look. I got my coat on
and I catch cold easy.

928
00:53:48,809 --> 00:53:50,402
"Easily," not "easy."

929

We're leaving now, Mr. Hollingsway.

- Good night again, my dear.
-Good night.

931
00:53:55,023 --> 00:53:57,617
Of course you understand
that under the circumstances,

932
00:53:57,693 --> 00:54:00,071
your little project
is quite, quite impossible.

933
00:54:00,154 --> 00:54:02,282
- Of course.
-Good night, Mr. Phipps.

934
00:54:03,073 --> 00:54:04,450
Good night.

935
00:54:07,077 --> 00:54:08,670
- Good night, Rita. So long, George.
-Good night.

936
00:54:08,746 --> 00:54:10,669
- Good night, kids.
-Good night, Lora Mae.

937
00:54:13,542 --> 00:54:17,263
What little project of yours turned out
to be quite, quite impossible?

938
00:54:23,260 --> 00:54:26,389
I'll take care of tidying up.
You better start your revisions.

939
00:54:26,472 --> 00:54:28,019
It's all right.

[SIGHS]

941
00:54:31,769 --> 00:54:33,316
I'm sorry about this.

942
00:54:33,812 --> 00:54:35,689
I know how much it means to you.

943
00:54:36,857 --> 00:54:39,656
Well, it couldn't be helped, I guess.

944
00:54:39,860 --> 00:54:42,989
Oh, George, it would have been so simple
to say something noncommittal.

945
00:54:43,155 --> 00:54:46,250
Not for three hours it isn't.
I held back all night.

946
00:54:46,325 --> 00:54:50,080
Anyway, she doesn't blame you for it.
Didn't she tell you not to feel badly?

947
00:54:50,245 --> 00:54:51,622
I wasn't thinking of myself.

948
00:54:51,705 --> 00:54:54,333
What can she do to me?
Report me as being un-American?

949
00:54:54,416 --> 00:54:56,293
Radio's like a religion to those people.

950
00:54:56,376 --> 00:54:58,424
When you attack it, you attack their faith.

951
00:54:58,504 --> 00:55:00,677
Once they've seen you against it,
they're off of you for life.

-Why should I want to make it up?

953

Why should I?

954
00:55:08,263 --> 00:55:09,890
Oh, nothing.

955
00:55:21,944 --> 00:55:24,117
You know, this is getting to be
like a good mystery story,

956
00:55:24,196 --> 00:55:25,914
where you think you got
the murderer picked out

957
00:55:25,989 --> 00:55:27,457
and it turns out to be somebody else.

958
00:55:27,616 --> 00:55:30,415
For just a minute,
I had your little project tied up with Porter.

959
00:55:30,577 --> 00:55:32,830
But now the clues seem to point to me.

960
00:55:32,913 --> 00:55:35,007
In some weird, unimaginable way,

961
00:55:35,082 --> 00:55:37,505
I was to prove irresistible
to Mrs. Manleigh tonight.

962
00:55:37,584 --> 00:55:39,678
I was to impress her and win her favor.

963
00:55:39,753 --> 00:55:41,255
Isn't that so?

964
00:55:42,589 --> 00:55:45,012
But why? To what purpose?

965
00:55:45,092 --> 00:55:47,265
Well, if you must know,
there are editors leaving,

966
00:55:47,344 --> 00:55:49,346
and I thought you'd be perfect for the job.

967
00:55:49,429 --> 00:55:52,057
$175 a week to start.

968
00:55:58,605 --> 00:55:59,948
Come here.

969
00:56:01,358 --> 00:56:03,360
Sit down for a minute.

970
00:56:05,863 --> 00:56:09,993
Look, Reet, let's put aside my nausea
at the idea of working for the Manleighs.

971
00:56:10,200 --> 00:56:13,420
Let's put aside my personal likes
and dislikes. They're not important.

972
00:56:13,662 --> 00:56:16,336
I'm willing to admit
that to a majority of my fellow citizens,

973
00:56:16,415 --> 00:56:19,419
I'm a slightly comic figure,
an educated man.

974
00:56:19,501 --> 00:56:22,220
Nobody's asking you not to be.
Think of the good you could do.

975
00:56:22,296 --> 00:56:24,845
- Maybe raise the standard.
-Of commercial radio?

976
00:56:24,923 --> 00:56:27,767
What's the phrase, "Wait for your laugh"?

977
00:56:28,302 --> 00:56:32,102
I'm a schoolteacher. That's even worse
than being an intellectual.

978
00:56:32,556 --> 00:56:34,229
Schoolteachers are not only comic,

979
00:56:34,308 --> 00:56:37,312
they're often cold and hungry
in this richest land on Earth.

980
00:56:37,477 --> 00:56:40,651
And thousands are quitting every year
to take jobs that pay them a decent living.

981
00:56:40,814 --> 00:56:42,987
- That is unhappily true.
-Then why not you?

982
00:56:43,233 --> 00:56:46,237
Because I can't think of myself
doing anything else.

983
00:56:48,655 --> 00:56:50,828
What would happen,
do ya think, if we all quit?

984
00:56:50,991 --> 00:56:54,291
Who'll teach the kids?
Who'd open their minds and hearts

985
00:56:54,369 --> 00:56:57,418
to the real glories of the human spirit
past and present.

986
00:56:57,664 --> 00:56:59,337
Who'd help them along to the future?

987
00:56:59,666 --> 00:57:01,885
Radio sponsors? Comic strips?

988
00:57:02,419 --> 00:57:04,342
At that, I've been luckier than most.

989
00:57:04,421 --> 00:57:07,516
Even without what you earn, I've managed
to keep our heads above water.

990
00:57:07,674 --> 00:57:11,144
It's quite a strain over a period of time
with the water lapping at your chin.

991
00:57:11,261 --> 00:57:12,683
That's where you've been a great help.

992
00:57:12,846 --> 00:57:15,190
You've made it a lot easier for both of us.

993
00:57:16,058 --> 00:57:19,483
I'll admit is has upset
my male ego from time to time.

994
00:57:19,978 --> 00:57:23,152
And your overdeveloped
sense of taste and discrimination,

995
00:57:23,231 --> 00:57:26,451
which is apparently equaled
only by that of Addie Ross.

996
00:57:26,652 --> 00:57:28,700
Let's try to keep Addie out of this one.

997
00:57:28,904 --> 00:57:31,908
I am fed up with taste and discrimination.

998
00:57:33,283 --> 00:57:34,409
You're not making sense.

999
00:57:34,493 --> 00:57:37,087
I'm fed up with your nobility
and wisdom and superiority

1000
00:57:37,162 --> 00:57:39,335
and your contempt for me
in everything I try to do.

1001
00:57:39,414 --> 00:57:40,461
You're talking nonsense.

1002
00:57:40,540 --> 00:57:41,962
Everything I say is nonsense.

1003
00:57:42,042 --> 00:57:44,340
It's all this work. You're overtired.
You do too much.

1004
00:57:44,461 --> 00:57:47,305
What do you suggest I stop doing,
this moronic radio trash

1005
00:57:47,381 --> 00:57:49,600
-with which I pay most of your bills?
-Now calm down.

1006
00:57:49,716 --> 00:57:51,889
And what do I go back to,
washing, scrubbing, ironing,

1007
00:57:51,969 --> 00:57:53,471
and a life of taste and discrimination?

-"if music be the food of love, play on."

the appetite may sicken, and so die."

From Twelfth Night, by Mr. Shakespeare,
which Addie and I played in high school.

1012
00:58:09,319 --> 00:58:10,571
I thought it was a very clever note.

1013
00:58:10,654 --> 00:58:12,748
And there was more to it
than a childhood memory.

Yes, there was,
but we won't go into that.

Seven years ago I made the most perfect
marriage ever devised

by man, heaven or radio.

1019
00:58:24,876 --> 00:58:27,470
My wife was an independent,
understanding woman.

1020
00:58:27,587 --> 00:58:31,012
We thought the same thing
about everything, from baseball to Brahms.

1021
00:58:31,091 --> 00:58:34,265
In those seven years, I was never
contemptuous of you. I was proud.

But when that drooling pap
began to change you,

1023
00:58:38,056 --> 00:58:40,104
when your independence turned to fear,

1024
00:58:40,183 --> 00:58:44,108
when I watched you snivel and grovel
around those two walking commercials,

1025
00:58:44,271 --> 00:58:46,569
I didn't like it, and I don't like it.

1026
00:58:47,232 --> 00:58:49,030
I don't want to be married to Linda Gray,

1027

Brenda Brown or even Myrtle Tippet.

1028

I want my own wife back.

-just back and forth to the water cooler.

You were preoccupied, so after
a couple of tries, I decided to skip it.

1492

It was just that the high school
dramatics society,

1493
01:31:41,913 --> 01:31:44,416
decided to do Twelfth Night
and asked me to direct it.

1494
01:31:44,541 --> 01:31:47,511
The first rehearsal was today, and I thought
my blue suit was more appropriate

-than a pair of wading boots...
-And Addie knew about it.

01:40:04,665 --> 01:40:07,544
I want to say it out loud.
The reason I want to go home, Porter,

1635
01:40:07,752 --> 01:40:09,675
is because I've been spoiling
everybody's fun.

1636
01:40:09,754 --> 01:40:10,721
RITA: Don't be silly, Deb...

1637
01:40:10,796 --> 01:40:12,673
I've tried hard to make believe
the way you do,

1638
01:40:12,757 --> 01:40:14,304
Porter, but I'm not as much
of a man as you are.

1639
01:40:14,383 --> 01:40:17,512
- I can't anymore.
-Make believe about what?

1640
01:40:17,595 --> 01:40:20,314
Don't you know by now?
You're not as smart as I thought, Porter.

1641
01:40:20,473 --> 01:40:21,850
You want it in so many words?

1642
01:40:21,933 --> 01:40:23,606
- All right, then.
-GEORGE: Deborah...

1643
01:40:24,268 --> 01:40:26,771
My husband has run away
with Addie Ross.

1644
01:40:29,273 --> 01:40:31,947
Please, nobody get up. Good night.

1645
01:40:33,444 --> 01:40:34,991
- Sit down.
-Porter, please.

1646
01:40:35,071 --> 01:40:37,540
- Sit down for a moment.
-Let her go, Porter.

1647
01:40:37,615 --> 01:40:39,617
You keep out of it. Everyone else too.

1648
01:40:40,451 --> 01:40:41,953
Just for a minute?

1649
01:40:44,830 --> 01:40:49,131
Brad didn't run away with Addie Ross.
I did.

1650
01:40:52,213 --> 01:40:54,386
But how? You're here.

1651
01:40:55,508 --> 01:40:58,011
A man can change his mind, can't he?

1652
01:41:01,806 --> 01:41:03,683
[BOSSA NOVA]

1653
01:41:10,439 --> 01:41:14,819
- Porter, you're quite a guy.
-Thanks.

1654
01:41:15,403 --> 01:41:17,280
She'd have known in the morning anyway.

1655
01:41:17,363 --> 01:41:19,912
She'd have had a tough night.
She's just a kid.

1656
01:41:22,702 --> 01:41:24,579
Dance with me, George.

1657
01:41:27,248 --> 01:41:31,003
Rita, do you mind
just another minute?

1658
01:41:32,962 --> 01:41:37,513
Okay, you got it. They all heard me say
I ran away with another woman.

1659
01:41:37,883 --> 01:41:39,385
You've got everything you need.

1660
01:41:39,468 --> 01:41:41,971
You can take me for everything
you'll ever want.

1661
01:41:45,725 --> 01:41:47,443
Like always, Porter,

1662
01:41:47,518 --> 01:41:50,317
when you start knocking on that brandy
bottle, you'll come up with anything.

1663
01:41:51,814 --> 01:41:53,691
I guess I stopped listening.

1664
01:41:53,899 --> 01:41:58,075
'Cause if you said something,
I just didn't hear it.

1665
01:42:02,950 --> 01:42:05,123
Why don't everybody dance?

1666
01:42:17,798 --> 01:42:19,391
Lora Mae.

1667
01:42:22,887 --> 01:42:24,855
You big gorilla.

1668
01:42:26,265 --> 01:42:28,359
Let's dance?

1669
01:42:52,333 --> 01:42:55,837
ADDIE'S VOICE: Heigh-ho.
Good night, everybody.
