00:17:25,249 --> 00:17:27,015
(CHUCKLES) Steinheim,
he starts--

309
00:17:27,084 --> 00:17:28,249
starts shouting at people,
you know,

310
00:17:28,318 --> 00:17:30,786
"You're gonna take this boy,
all right?

311
00:17:30,855 --> 00:17:32,320
And his grades
are not the issue.

312
00:17:32,389 --> 00:17:35,257
The boy is an orphan,
potentially a genius,

313
00:17:35,326 --> 00:17:37,921
and you're gonna give him
a scholarship,

314
00:17:37,990 --> 00:17:40,128
and I'm gonna build you
a college building,

315
00:17:40,197 --> 00:17:42,397
the most beautiful in the world.

316
00:17:42,466 --> 00:17:44,066
But not so much as a shithouse

317
00:17:44,135 --> 00:17:46,205
unless the orphan boy
goes to Rutgers.

318
00:17:47,171 --> 00:17:50,005
- All expenses paid."
- Jeez.

319
00:17:50,074 --> 00:17:52,277
- He must like you.
- Yeah, maybe.

320
00:17:53,377 --> 00:17:55,071
So, any dessert left,

321
00:17:55,140 --> 00:17:57,879
or did you and your brother
eat every god damn bite?

322
00:17:57,948 --> 00:18:00,615
HERMAN: He's one of the
greatest presidents we ever had. He saved this country

323
00:18:00,684 --> 00:18:02,550
- from a depression, and he's
playing it - MONTY: From a perspective.

324
00:18:02,619 --> 00:18:04,386
- exactly the way he should.
- MONTY: You're talking about this community.

325
00:18:04,455 --> 00:18:05,853
- HERMAN: He's being
presidential. - MONTY: He's gonna get

326
00:18:05,922 --> 00:18:07,789
- his ass beat. Outside of
this community-- - ALVIN: Roosevelt?

327
00:18:07,858 --> 00:18:10,191
- Lindbergh's gonna beat him.
- Ridiculous. Don't be an idiot.

328
00:18:10,260 --> 00:18:12,493
- Oh, I'm the idiot?
- MONTY: You know, My farmers are backing him.

329
00:18:12,562 --> 00:18:14,724
- HERMAN:
They like the entertainment. - MONTY: Herman, believe what you

330
00:18:14,793 --> 00:18:17,899
- want but the man has a chance!
- ALVIN: He has more than a chance. Fascism is winning.

331
00:18:17,968 --> 00:18:20,135
- Has anybody in this house
noticed this? - Enough! Enough.

332
00:18:20,204 --> 00:18:22,471
Enough politics.
I can't take it anymore.

333
00:18:22,540 --> 00:18:25,240
You? When you go upstairs,
you need a bath,

334
00:18:25,309 --> 00:18:26,474
and you need
to put your sketches away.

335
00:18:26,543 --> 00:18:28,744
They're all spread out
on your bed and floor.

336
00:18:28,813 --> 00:18:29,678
You missed supper,

337
00:18:29,747 --> 00:18:31,614
but I have some leftovers
I can heat up.

338
00:18:31,683 --> 00:18:33,282
And you two, please?

339
00:18:33,351 --> 00:18:35,383
- Turn off the radio.
- And miss Winchell?

340
00:18:35,452 --> 00:18:37,052
- BESS: Herman...
- MONTY: Now Winchell's a <i>mensch.</i>

341
00:18:37,121 --> 00:18:38,620
That's a Jew
that takes no guff from anyone.

342
00:18:38,689 --> 00:18:40,121
HERMAN: Damn right,
and he means what he says.

343
00:18:40,190 --> 00:18:42,792
Not like some of them,
not like this rabbi from B'nai Moshe.

344
00:18:42,861 --> 00:18:43,892
- Bengelsdorf?
- Bengelsdorf.

345
00:18:43,961 --> 00:18:46,228
Out there on the airfield,
shaking the hand of a man

346
00:18:46,297 --> 00:18:48,764
who shook Göring's hand
and got a Nazi medal for it.

347
00:18:48,833 --> 00:18:49,897
MONTY: Bengelsdorf did that?

348
00:18:49,966 --> 00:18:53,535
Honey? Do you want real food
or are you okay with cake?

349
00:18:53,604 --> 00:18:55,670
- Cake's more than fine.
- SANDY: What if Lindbergh just wants peace?

350
00:18:55,739 --> 00:18:58,073
HERMAN: Kiddo, this is peace
with a man who is jailing

351
00:18:58,142 --> 00:19:00,008
- and killing our people.
- But not Americans.

352
00:19:00,077 --> 00:19:02,377
- (OVERLAPPING CHATTER)
- Oh, knock it off with the Lindbergh puppet.

353
00:19:02,446 --> 00:19:05,647
Enough! Enough! Enough!
Enough, do you hear me?

354
00:19:05,716 --> 00:19:07,583
- You're still wrong.
- SANDY: We're just talking.

355
00:19:07,652 --> 00:19:10,652
Mom. Do Gracie.

356
00:19:10,721 --> 00:19:13,688
Not right now, honey. I...
I can't. Just go upstairs.

357
00:19:13,757 --> 00:19:16,561
- Go to sleep, it's really late.
- Come on, please?

358
00:19:17,161 --> 00:19:18,497
Just a little bit.

359
00:19:19,997 --> 00:19:22,267
Or you could do Baby Snooks.

360
00:19:24,235 --> 00:19:25,267
I can't do Gracie

361
00:19:25,336 --> 00:19:27,402
unless your father
does his George Burns.

362
00:19:27,471 --> 00:19:28,871
Oh God, I won't remember.

363
00:19:28,940 --> 00:19:30,609
Come on,
you know it well enough.

364
00:19:32,609 --> 00:19:35,514
- Oh, all right, all right.
- MONTY: Oh boy, oh boy.

365
00:19:40,885 --> 00:19:43,618
Oh, she's got the-- (LAUGHS)

366
00:19:43,687 --> 00:19:46,055
(IMITATING GRACIE ALLEN)
Oh, George?

367
00:19:46,124 --> 00:19:47,388
(IMITATING GEORGE BURNS)
Yes, Gracie?

368
00:19:47,457 --> 00:19:49,291
I got a letter from my brother.

369
00:19:49,360 --> 00:19:50,791
Your brother, he writes?

370
00:19:50,860 --> 00:19:54,663
Not well, but he writes.
He tells me about my niece.

371
00:19:54,732 --> 00:19:57,232
- She's got three feet.
- Your niece has a third foot?

372
00:19:57,301 --> 00:19:59,534
Oh, that's nothing.
I got an aunt who sees

373
00:19:59,603 --> 00:20:01,637
- with her mouth.
- Sees with her mouth?

374
00:20:01,706 --> 00:20:03,906
Sure,
she sees if the soup is hot.

375
00:20:03,975 --> 00:20:04,973
(LAUGHTER)

376
00:20:05,042 --> 00:20:07,643
So, tell me about your niece
who grew another foot.

377
00:20:07,712 --> 00:20:09,310
- Herman, you're killing us!
- Hey!

378
00:20:09,379 --> 00:20:10,545
- What?
- Dad, come on!

379
00:20:10,614 --> 00:20:12,147
- You stepped on my line.
- The whole thing is wrong.

380
00:20:12,216 --> 00:20:15,383
Oh, all right, uh...
Right. Uh, so...

381
00:20:15,452 --> 00:20:17,019
Tell me 'bout your niece
who has three feet.

382
00:20:17,088 --> 00:20:20,388
He tells me, "Oh, you wouldn't
even know little Jean,

383
00:20:20,457 --> 00:20:23,025
- she's grown another foot."
- (CHEERS AND LAUGHS)

384
00:20:23,094 --> 00:20:26,831
- Oh, I-- I'll be right back.
- Where you going, Gracie?

385
00:20:27,531 --> 00:20:29,398
I left the stove in the kitchen.

386
00:20:29,467 --> 00:20:32,167
- (LAUGHING)
- Say good night, Gracie!

387
00:20:32,236 --> 00:20:34,235
- Good night!
- (LAUGHING AND CHEERING)

388
00:20:34,304 --> 00:20:36,238
And good night,
and good night, and good night.

389
00:20:36,307 --> 00:20:38,339
- Thank you, thank you.
- (CHEERING)

390
00:20:38,408 --> 00:20:40,275
Sandy, don't forget to pick up
your sketches.

391
00:20:40,344 --> 00:20:41,713
BESS: And wash your neck.

392
00:20:44,916 --> 00:20:47,719
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

393
00:20:48,981 --> 00:20:50,485
When he came out
against the Jews

394
00:20:50,554 --> 00:20:54,355
in the Des Moines speech,
I was... outraged.

395
00:20:54,424 --> 00:20:57,860
But since then,
his message has been anti-war,

396
00:20:57,929 --> 00:21:02,663
which makes me conflicted
because I hate war.

397
00:21:02,732 --> 00:21:06,096
As do I, and I'll do everything
within my power

398
00:21:06,165 --> 00:21:08,436
to stop our country
from being entangled

399
00:21:08,505 --> 00:21:11,340
in yet another
European conflict.

400
00:21:11,409 --> 00:21:15,948
Now, to that end, last month,
I met with Lindbergh.

401
00:21:17,214 --> 00:21:19,981
He met with you? In private?

402
00:21:20,050 --> 00:21:25,254
And despite what you might hear,
he's a gracious man.

403
00:21:25,323 --> 00:21:27,422
Mm. What did he tell you?

404
00:21:27,491 --> 00:21:30,629
Well, it's more
what I was able to tell him.

405
00:21:31,229 --> 00:21:32,761
I explained to him

406
00:21:32,830 --> 00:21:37,699
that our people are committed
irrevocably to America,

407
00:21:37,768 --> 00:21:40,302
where though Ireland
still matters to the Irish

408
00:21:40,371 --> 00:21:43,438
and Poland to the Poles,
Jews retain no allegiance,

409
00:21:43,507 --> 00:21:47,309
sentimental or otherwise,
to those Old-World countries

410
00:21:47,378 --> 00:21:49,648
where we were
never really welcome.

411
00:21:50,714 --> 00:21:53,648
And from that meeting,
going forward,

412
00:21:53,717 --> 00:21:57,519
Lindbergh has not said anything
derogatory about our people.

413
00:21:57,588 --> 00:22:00,688
Not to me, and not in public.

414
00:22:00,757 --> 00:22:04,059
- He listened to you.
- Um... it would seem.

415
00:22:04,128 --> 00:22:07,529
But there are so many, though,
who don't trust him.

416
00:22:07,598 --> 00:22:09,597
- My brother-in-law...
- I understand,

417
00:22:09,666 --> 00:22:13,734
and I'm gonna do my best
to convince them otherwise,

418
00:22:13,803 --> 00:22:16,772
which brings me to the purpose
of this dinner

419
00:22:16,841 --> 00:22:19,575
and my asking you
to accompany me

420
00:22:19,644 --> 00:22:21,413
to the airfield today.

421
00:22:24,548 --> 00:22:28,583
Are you still planning to leave
the classroom next year?

422
00:22:28,652 --> 00:22:32,520
Uh, yes, I already notified
the school board.

423
00:22:32,589 --> 00:22:35,123
And your plan was to take
a position to work

424
00:22:35,192 --> 00:22:36,495
for the teachers union.

425
00:22:40,164 --> 00:22:45,066
I don't mean to, how does it go,
toot my own horn,

426
00:22:45,135 --> 00:22:48,436
but I can make that happen,
if that's what you want,

427
00:22:48,505 --> 00:22:51,510
I certainly have friends
in the teachers union.

428
00:22:54,144 --> 00:22:56,411
But I have another offer

429
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:58,417
that I'd like for you
to consider.

430
00:23:01,420 --> 00:23:02,587
Come work with me.

Did he crash his plane?

441
00:23:33,885 --> 00:23:36,652
Don't be silly.
Lindbergh doesn't crash.

442
00:23:36,721 --> 00:23:38,754
It can happen to any pilot.

443
00:23:38,823 --> 00:23:40,756
As I recall,
he had a few crash landings

444
00:23:40,825 --> 00:23:42,657
when he flew
for the postal service.

445
00:23:42,726 --> 00:23:44,592
That was early.
Lindbergh hasn't crashed

446
00:23:44,661 --> 00:23:47,699
since he crossed the ocean.
And he flies everywhere.

I'm gonna see
about getting a job.

A job? Where? Why?

450
00:24:09,052 --> 00:24:12,253
Because your father and I need
to save a little extra money

451
00:24:12,322 --> 00:24:13,722
if we're going to buy a house.

452
00:24:13,791 --> 00:24:16,962
- In Union?
- No, here in Weequahic.

453
00:24:17,628 --> 00:24:19,995
But Mom, you won't be home?

454
00:24:20,064 --> 00:24:22,564
Not in the daytime,
but I will be there

455
00:24:22,633 --> 00:24:24,432
every morning
to see you off for school

456
00:24:24,501 --> 00:24:26,234
and I will be there
every night with dinner.

457
00:24:26,303 --> 00:24:29,332
But what about after school,

Because that's when
you've got the money

481
00:25:38,643 --> 00:25:40,742
that can really work for you.

you can turn it into 30,
40 million.

485
00:25:46,918 --> 00:25:48,617
That's when
you can use that money

486

to get into rooms
where you couldn't go.

487

Money makes money.

488
00:25:52,824 --> 00:25:54,590
It gets you to the deals

let you in their club

that a rabbi,
