1
00:01:52,345 --> 00:01:55,803
All right, fellows.
There'll be no more classes today.
2
00:01:57,150 --> 00:01:59,641
Quiet down! Not so fast.
3
00:01:59,719 --> 00:02:01,880
You've all got to be back here in an hour.
4
00:02:01,955 --> 00:02:05,186
Now I want the band in their uniforms
and everybody cleaned up.
5
00:02:05,258 --> 00:02:07,658
We're going to welcome home
Dave Morris.
6
00:02:07,727 --> 00:02:10,719
Now I don't have to tell you older boys
who Dave Morris is.
7
00:02:10,797 --> 00:02:12,731
But the new citizens ought to know that...
8
00:02:12,799 --> 00:02:15,859
he's the best friend Boys Town has,
next to Father Flanagan.
9
00:02:15,935 --> 00:02:19,735
And I don't have to tell any of you
who Father Flanagan is, I hope.
10
00:02:20,006 --> 00:02:23,737
And I guess there's no doubt
that I'm the mayor around here?
11
00:02:26,613 --> 00:02:29,173
So that's the orders now, fellows.
Everybody back here in an hour.
12
00:02:29,249 --> 00:02:30,614
Give out with everything you've got...
13
00:02:30,683 --> 00:02:32,617
when Dave Morris drives up
with Father Flanagan.
14
00:02:32,685 --> 00:02:35,279
Make it sound like we just beat
Notre Dame at football.
15
00:02:35,355 --> 00:02:37,186
- We'll shout our lungs out.
- All right, buddy.
16
00:02:37,257 --> 00:02:39,691
- You bet your life.
- All right. Dismissed!
17
00:02:42,061 --> 00:02:44,086
- Hello, Father.
- Good morning, Roger.
18
00:02:44,164 --> 00:02:46,689
- Good morning.
- Good morning, Bradford.
19
00:02:46,799 --> 00:02:49,495
I'm sorry, Father.
This letter requires your attention.
20
00:02:49,569 --> 00:02:52,470
From the contractor,
about his last payment.
21
00:02:54,340 --> 00:02:56,865
Well, it looks like today is my day.
22
00:02:59,379 --> 00:03:02,644
Due on the day
the interior plastering is finished, huh?
23
00:03:02,715 --> 00:03:05,275
The amount is $200,000.
24
00:03:06,853 --> 00:03:08,912
$200... That much?
25
00:03:11,291 --> 00:03:14,692
The $300,000 we underwrote originally
would have been enough...
26
00:03:14,761 --> 00:03:18,060
if there hadn't been
those few little improvements.
27
00:03:18,798 --> 00:03:22,962
Well, we need those two new wings,
you know. There are so many boys.
28
00:03:23,036 --> 00:03:26,472
And, of course, that extra dormitory.
29
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,907
Don't overlook that extra dormitory.
30
00:03:30,343 --> 00:03:32,436
We may be cramped even with that.
31
00:03:32,612 --> 00:03:35,376
Well, I'm afraid we've gone
as far as we can.
32
00:03:35,982 --> 00:03:39,543
After all, the bank's money belongs
to the depositors. It's not ours.
33
00:03:39,619 --> 00:03:40,813
Excuse me, gentlemen.
34
00:03:40,887 --> 00:03:42,855
Father, you're gonna be late for the train
if you don't hurry.
35
00:03:42,922 --> 00:03:45,322
I made out a new basketball
schedule for you to look over, too.
36
00:03:45,391 --> 00:03:48,087
There it is. But after you get back.
That can wait. You're late now.
37
00:03:48,161 --> 00:03:50,186
The car's waiting outside.
38
00:03:50,330 --> 00:03:53,163
Whitey, you're the most tyrannical mayor
that Boys Town has ever had.
39
00:03:53,233 --> 00:03:54,996
You see, gentlemen,
I'm absolutely helpless.
40
00:03:55,068 --> 00:03:57,502
Honest, Father. You're gonna miss
Mr. Morris if you don't hurry.
41
00:03:57,570 --> 00:03:59,595
What do you suggest Burton write
to the contractor?
42
00:03:59,672 --> 00:04:02,641
I'll take the finances up with Dave.
After all, that's his department.
43
00:04:02,709 --> 00:04:03,971
Goodbye, gentlemen.
44
00:04:04,043 --> 00:04:06,341
It'll be nice to have Dave home again.
45
00:04:06,546 --> 00:04:09,208
A year is too long to be
without a friend like he is.
46
00:04:09,282 --> 00:04:11,182
Yes, Father, but he needed the rest.
47
00:04:11,251 --> 00:04:13,583
It's been a long time
since you've had a vacation yourself.
48
00:04:13,653 --> 00:04:16,213
Whitey, my whole life is a vacation.
49
00:04:16,823 --> 00:04:21,089
Father, you didn't write Mr. Morris
about the new buildings, did you?
50
00:04:21,327 --> 00:04:23,522
No, I didn't, Whitey, I...
51
00:04:23,596 --> 00:04:26,565
I thought I'd let Dave see
what the new buildings looked like first.
52
00:04:26,633 --> 00:04:30,592
- You know, sort of surprise him.
- He'll be surprised, all right.
53
00:04:32,972 --> 00:04:33,996
Yes.
54
00:04:39,379 --> 00:04:41,313
- Hey, Dave!
- Eddie!
55
00:04:41,381 --> 00:04:43,212
- I'm glad to see you.
- Hello, Mr. Morris.
56
00:04:43,283 --> 00:04:45,444
- Hello, Whitey.
- Well, you're back at last, Dave.
57
00:04:45,518 --> 00:04:46,985
I've missed you. We've all missed you.
58
00:04:47,053 --> 00:04:49,783
If you don't think it took all
my willpower to stay away for a year.
59
00:04:49,856 --> 00:04:51,551
I wanted to start home
after the first week.
60
00:04:51,624 --> 00:04:53,148
And we wanted you to.
61
00:04:53,259 --> 00:04:54,783
Eddie, you didn't write me
about Boys Town.
62
00:04:54,861 --> 00:04:57,022
I've been anxious about the place.
What goes on out there?
63
00:04:57,096 --> 00:05:00,031
Everything's the same.
No great change, Dave.
64
00:05:00,533 --> 00:05:03,195
We're glad to see you back, Mr. Morris.
Every one of us.
65
00:05:03,269 --> 00:05:06,727
That goes double in spades for me.
Well, what about Boys Town?
66
00:05:06,806 --> 00:05:10,105
Well, the boys are waiting.
They want to give you a little reception.
67
00:05:15,948 --> 00:05:18,314
- It's beautiful.
- Thanks, Dave.
68
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,580
Eddie, what about Boys Town?
What's happened there?
69
00:05:23,656 --> 00:05:25,749
It's been a very quiet year, Dave.
70
00:05:25,825 --> 00:05:29,056
No year is quiet where you are.
And I've been away, you know.
71
00:05:29,128 --> 00:05:30,720
How well I know.
72
00:05:30,863 --> 00:05:33,354
But I haven't been away long enough
to forget how you work.
73
00:05:33,433 --> 00:05:35,560
And when you start stalling...
74
00:05:38,137 --> 00:05:40,196
Tell me, Eddie,
what trouble have you got into?
75
00:05:40,273 --> 00:05:42,332
Eddie, I know you've done something.
76
00:05:42,408 --> 00:05:45,434
And when you do something
it always means money.
77
00:05:45,511 --> 00:05:48,810
What have you really been doing?
Anything new about the place?
78
00:05:50,583 --> 00:05:54,212
Well, we've made a few little
improvements here and there.
79
00:05:54,387 --> 00:05:56,412
Those shrubs, for example.
80
00:05:56,889 --> 00:05:59,323
Some new trees and some other items.
81
00:05:59,392 --> 00:06:01,622
You know, a few little improvements
here and there.
82
00:06:01,694 --> 00:06:05,289
Well, shrubs are all right
and trees are all right.
83
00:06:05,465 --> 00:06:08,229
But those other items,
those few little improvements...
84
00:06:08,301 --> 00:06:10,326
could you give me an idea?
85
00:06:10,670 --> 00:06:13,503
- Well, Dave, here we are.
- Yes, here we are.
86
00:06:35,828 --> 00:06:37,295
Thanks, boys.
87
00:06:37,563 --> 00:06:39,360
It's good to be home again.
88
00:06:39,665 --> 00:06:41,826
And it's very good
to get a welcome like this...
89
00:06:41,901 --> 00:06:44,426
which I know comes from your hearts.
90
00:06:46,072 --> 00:06:48,632
Put it up, Pee Wee. Put it up.
91
00:06:52,245 --> 00:06:54,543
Well, I'm glad to see
that during the year I've been away...
92
00:06:54,614 --> 00:06:56,741
Boys Town hasn't stood still.
93
00:06:57,784 --> 00:07:01,220
Seem to have made a few little
improvements here and there.
94
00:07:03,156 --> 00:07:05,454
Yeah, a few little improvements.
95
00:07:05,892 --> 00:07:09,089
How was South America?
Magnificent, I hear.
96
00:07:09,162 --> 00:07:12,131
Some of the most beautiful buildings
in the world, I understand.
97
00:07:12,198 --> 00:07:15,690
Well, I didn't see any buildings down there
to compare with the new ones up here.
98
00:07:19,071 --> 00:07:21,062
Eddie, I've got to take my hat off to you.
99
00:07:21,140 --> 00:07:23,665
I've got some excellent cigars here.
100
00:07:24,010 --> 00:07:27,468
Someone sent them to me, and I've been
saving them especially for you.
101
00:07:27,547 --> 00:07:29,515
They're the finest Havanas.
102
00:07:29,582 --> 00:07:32,176
- Those new buildings are honeys.
- Yes.
103
00:07:32,251 --> 00:07:35,220
When we get them opened up
there'll be room for twice as many boys.
104
00:07:35,288 --> 00:07:38,052
More boys waiting
than we'll have room for even at that.
105
00:07:38,124 --> 00:07:40,285
I never thought you could do it
without me, Eddie.
106
00:07:40,359 --> 00:07:43,385
Those new buildings must cost
half a million, if they cost a cent.
107
00:07:43,463 --> 00:07:46,694
You've got a great eye for figures.
You hit the nail right on the head.
108
00:07:46,766 --> 00:07:49,132
Well, how did you get all the money?
109
00:07:49,502 --> 00:07:53,461
Is it true that there's a difference in the
quality of cigars as you smokers say?
110
00:07:53,539 --> 00:07:56,235
- Or is that...
- You didn't get the money.
111
00:07:57,610 --> 00:08:01,137
Eddie, look me in the eye.
Are those buildings paid for?
112
00:08:01,514 --> 00:08:04,711
Now, Dave, don't make
a mountain out of a molehill.
113
00:08:04,784 --> 00:08:08,948
After all, it's only $200,000.
We borrowed the other $300,000.
114
00:08:09,021 --> 00:08:10,989
$300,000 you borrowed!
115
00:08:11,524 --> 00:08:13,583
Well, with you, when it's borrowed,
it's nothing.
116
00:08:13,659 --> 00:08:15,991
It's no worry. It's paid back already.
117
00:08:16,062 --> 00:08:19,657
So there's $200,000 you
haven't even got a smell of borrowing.
118
00:08:19,732 --> 00:08:22,997
Eddie, that's no mountain, that's the
whole Rockies and the Alleghenies...
119
00:08:23,069 --> 00:08:24,434
thrown in.
120
00:08:24,504 --> 00:08:27,200
Now, Dave, more boys need this place.
121
00:08:27,273 --> 00:08:29,036
Boys need! Who doesn't need?
122
00:08:29,108 --> 00:08:31,440
If there's any place in this world,
where people don't need...
123
00:08:31,511 --> 00:08:33,411
tell me where it is, and I'll go there.
124
00:08:33,479 --> 00:08:37,108
I can't turn them away, Dave.
If you could see their poor, pinched faces...
125
00:08:37,183 --> 00:08:39,879
and their shivering bodies.
Every day they come, every night.
126
00:08:39,952 --> 00:08:41,544
Well, I'm not in on this.
127
00:08:41,621 --> 00:08:44,215
That's $200,000 somebody else
can start looking for.
128
00:08:44,290 --> 00:08:46,383
Not me, not Dave Morris. So help me.
129
00:08:46,459 --> 00:08:48,359
It isn't looking for the money
that bothers you.
130
00:08:48,427 --> 00:08:51,453
It's the fact that you can't give it yourself,
that's what makes you angry.
131
00:08:51,531 --> 00:08:56,025
I wouldn't give a penny, not a red cent.
Do you think money grows on trees?
132
00:08:56,602 --> 00:08:59,366
Sometimes the way you manage to get it,
I think it does.
133
00:08:59,438 --> 00:09:02,965
Now listen, Eddie.
Don't try any of your schmooze on me.
134
00:09:06,846 --> 00:09:08,814
Hello? Where?
135
00:09:09,749 --> 00:09:11,614
All right, put him on.
136
00:09:12,718 --> 00:09:14,083
Yes, Judge?
137
00:09:16,188 --> 00:09:20,591
Well, if it's about taking a boy in here,
I couldn't do that, Judge.
138
00:09:21,060 --> 00:09:23,688
Not until the new buildings are opened.
139
00:09:24,430 --> 00:09:27,297
I haven't got room for a canary right now.
140
00:09:30,903 --> 00:09:33,098
Well, if I could be any help.
141
00:09:33,639 --> 00:09:36,870
All right, I'll leave on the night train.
You're welcome. Bye.
142
00:09:37,310 --> 00:09:40,939
That wouldn't be a couple of $100,000
somebody wants to give you, would it?
143
00:09:41,013 --> 00:09:43,777
A poor boy accused of manslaughter
up in Marysport.
144
00:09:43,849 --> 00:09:47,307
Manslaughter! I'm surprised
I'm not accused of murder.
145
00:09:47,820 --> 00:09:49,082
$200,000.
146
00:09:49,455 --> 00:09:52,515
Now, Dave, you'll have plenty of time
to think that over while I'm away.
147
00:09:52,592 --> 00:09:56,255
Somebody else should think, Eddie,
not me. Include me out.
148
00:09:57,530 --> 00:09:59,589
There aren't enough troubles
around here...
149
00:09:59,665 --> 00:10:02,225
you've got to go a 1,000 miles
to find more.
150
00:10:02,368 --> 00:10:04,097
The Judge thinks maybe I can help.
151
00:10:04,170 --> 00:10:06,661
Hey, what are you doing? Get out of there.
152
00:10:06,739 --> 00:10:09,606
- I ain't doing nothing.
- I know it. But you can't hang around here.
153
00:10:09,675 --> 00:10:12,906
- I thought this place is for homeless kids.
- It is, but it's jam-pack full.
154
00:10:12,979 --> 00:10:14,446
What about all them buildings?
155
00:10:14,513 --> 00:10:16,208
As soon as they're open, there'll be room.
156
00:10:16,282 --> 00:10:18,910
Look, there's kids come around here
all the time. Dozens every night.
157
00:10:18,985 --> 00:10:21,749
But we just can't take care of them yet.
It's tough luck, that's all.
158
00:10:21,821 --> 00:10:24,722
- What right you got to kick us out?
- I'm the mayor of Boys Town.
159
00:10:24,790 --> 00:10:26,951
Mayor or no mayor,
we want to see Father Flanagan.
160
00:10:27,026 --> 00:10:29,085
- You can't.
- Why not? He's the headman. Ain't he?
161
00:10:29,161 --> 00:10:30,890
I'll get you some grub, that's all I can do.
162
00:10:30,963 --> 00:10:33,488
But if you talk to him,
he's liable to give up his own bed to you.
163
00:10:33,566 --> 00:10:34,931
Wait a minute, boys.
164
00:10:35,001 --> 00:10:36,434
Whitey, that's a good idea of yours.
165
00:10:36,502 --> 00:10:39,062
Have the housekeeper put the boys
in my room till I get back.
166
00:10:39,138 --> 00:10:42,039
And give them my supper, too.
No sense in wasting food.
167
00:10:42,108 --> 00:10:43,473
- Thanks, Father.
- Thanks a lot.
168
00:10:43,542 --> 00:10:45,203
This way, fellows.
169
00:10:46,278 --> 00:10:48,473
Whitey, introduce them
to the washroom, too.
170
00:10:48,547 --> 00:10:51,948
Now I'm sure I'm home.
Never a dull moment.
171
00:10:55,087 --> 00:10:57,351
Got any money for your railroad fare?
172
00:10:57,957 --> 00:11:00,391
- Good thing you reminded me.
- Yeah.
173
00:11:00,660 --> 00:11:02,821
- Here.
- Thanks, Dave.
174
00:11:03,029 --> 00:11:05,554
I'll stop by the bank in the morning
and have a talk with Gorton.
175
00:11:05,631 --> 00:11:09,533
- Maybe we can do something.
- I'm sure you'll do whatever you can.
176
00:11:09,602 --> 00:11:11,763
I go away a year for a rest.
177
00:11:11,904 --> 00:11:16,068
In one hour I'm back with you and already
I've got another nervous breakdown.
178
00:11:43,969 --> 00:11:46,267
Has the jury reached a verdict?
179
00:11:47,973 --> 00:11:49,201
We have.
180
00:11:51,143 --> 00:11:54,078
The jury will rise
and look upon the accused.
181
00:11:57,049 --> 00:11:58,949
The defendant will...
182
00:12:03,289 --> 00:12:05,689
The defendant will face the jury.
183
00:12:09,862 --> 00:12:12,387
In the case of the
People v. Theodore Martley...
184
00:12:12,465 --> 00:12:15,195
how says the jury, guilty or not guilty?
185
00:12:16,068 --> 00:12:18,536
Guilty of murder in the second degree,
Your Honor.
186
00:12:18,604 --> 00:12:22,700
And if it please Your Honor, the jury
earnestly recommends mercy.
187
00:12:23,042 --> 00:12:26,409
The court will take
your recommendation into account.
188
00:12:26,512 --> 00:12:30,573
I realize that the members of the jury
have performed a highly distasteful duty...
189
00:12:30,649 --> 00:12:32,844
as good and earnest citizens.
190
00:12:33,119 --> 00:12:35,280
Because of the onerous nature
of your service...
191
00:12:35,354 --> 00:12:38,187
I will release you from further jury duty.
192
00:12:38,257 --> 00:12:43,024
If there is any reason at this time why
a sentence should not be pronounced...
193
00:12:46,799 --> 00:12:50,496
Ted, there must be something you can say
that will help me.
194
00:12:51,203 --> 00:12:55,572
There must be some reason why
you killed that guard at the reformatory.
195
00:12:56,142 --> 00:12:58,042
Tell me why you did it.
196
00:12:59,645 --> 00:13:03,172
Ted, can't you see that the court
is trying to help you?
197
00:13:03,315 --> 00:13:07,115
I hate to think you committed this crime
without some reason.
198
00:13:13,726 --> 00:13:17,628
Theodore Martley, you've been found
guilty of murder in the second degree.
199
00:13:17,696 --> 00:13:20,062
According to the laws of this state,
I have no alternative...
200
00:13:20,132 --> 00:13:23,033
but to sentence you
to imprisonment in the penitentiary...
201
00:13:23,102 --> 00:13:27,095
for a term of not less than 10 years.
No more than 20 years.
202
00:13:28,274 --> 00:13:30,333
But I will suspend execution of sentence...
203
00:13:30,409 --> 00:13:34,004
pending consultation with
Father Flanagan and Mrs. Maitland...
204
00:13:34,079 --> 00:13:36,570
Chairman of the State Parole Board.
205
00:13:36,882 --> 00:13:38,543
Court will recess.
206
00:13:46,792 --> 00:13:50,091
Ted, I want to be your friend.
I've come here to help you.
207
00:13:50,162 --> 00:13:52,130
I've come over a 1,000 miles
just to see you.
208
00:13:52,198 --> 00:13:54,063
Then go on back there!
209
00:13:55,668 --> 00:13:58,398
I will after you talk to me, not before.
210
00:13:58,904 --> 00:14:01,873
You know, there are other boys who are
waiting for me to come back to them.
211
00:14:01,941 --> 00:14:04,409
I'm neglecting my job to be here with you.
212
00:14:04,610 --> 00:14:07,374
And I'm going right on neglecting it
until you let me help you.
213
00:14:07,446 --> 00:14:10,745
I don't want your help!
I don't want anybody's help!
214
00:14:21,293 --> 00:14:26,060
Well, I can wait just as long as you can.
But you're going to let me help you.
215
00:14:29,001 --> 00:14:30,798
Don't be afraid, boy.
216
00:14:33,239 --> 00:14:35,673
You know, Ted, you've got beautiful eyes.
217
00:14:35,741 --> 00:14:39,142
Why don't you look up
and let the world see how nice they are?
218
00:14:39,211 --> 00:14:40,508
What good is helping me now?
219
00:14:40,579 --> 00:14:43,275
Why didn't somebody help me when that
drunken guard broke my back...
220
00:14:43,349 --> 00:14:44,748
with a two-by-four?
221
00:14:44,817 --> 00:14:47,445
Why didn't somebody help me
when he beat me so I couldn't walk?
222
00:14:47,519 --> 00:14:49,987
Why didn't somebody help me
when that doctor cut me up?
223
00:14:50,055 --> 00:14:53,286
And now, I can't move my legs at all!
224
00:14:53,359 --> 00:14:55,122
Why didn't somebody help me then?
225
00:14:55,194 --> 00:14:58,186
So that's why you shot the guard?
He beat you, broke your back?
226
00:14:58,264 --> 00:15:01,358
Sure. That's why! And I'd kill him again.
Do you hear that? Any time.
227
00:15:01,433 --> 00:15:04,891
- I'd kill him again.
- No, you wouldn't, Ted.
228
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:09,967
What you've done,
no matter what the provocation...
229
00:15:10,042 --> 00:15:13,341
will rest heavily upon you
for a long time to come.
230
00:15:14,580 --> 00:15:16,673
I'm going to tell the Judge about this.
He should know.
231
00:15:16,749 --> 00:15:18,717
I didn't tell you anything!
I didn't say anything.
232
00:15:18,784 --> 00:15:20,046
What are you afraid of?
233
00:15:20,119 --> 00:15:22,849
I didn't tell you anything, you hear me?
You can't say I did because I didn't!
234
00:15:22,922 --> 00:15:25,857
lt'd only get those other kids
at the reform school in trouble...
235
00:15:25,925 --> 00:15:29,019
- with the guards.
- I see.
236
00:15:31,163 --> 00:15:35,827
Ted, how would you like to go to a place
where there are no guards? No walls?
237
00:15:36,568 --> 00:15:38,661
There isn't any such place.
238
00:15:39,004 --> 00:15:41,632
You said you wanted to help me.
Well, if you do, prove it.
239
00:15:41,707 --> 00:15:44,141
Promise me you won't say anything.
240
00:15:44,944 --> 00:15:48,380
I won't say a word to anybody
until you tell me I may.
241
00:15:59,325 --> 00:16:02,226
That's the boy, Ted. Have a good cry.
242
00:16:03,629 --> 00:16:05,722
That's the first step back.
243
00:16:06,432 --> 00:16:07,956
I'm not crying.
244
00:16:09,935 --> 00:16:12,199
I'm just tired, that's all.
245
00:16:13,305 --> 00:16:14,670
Just tired.
246
00:16:16,075 --> 00:16:18,066
Sure. Sure you are.
247
00:16:25,050 --> 00:16:27,143
Take Ted into the anteroom.
248
00:16:36,462 --> 00:16:38,987
I thought he was as hard as granite.
249
00:16:39,732 --> 00:16:41,063
No boy is.
250
00:16:41,967 --> 00:16:45,664
I hate to shift the natural burdens
of society to you, Father.
251
00:16:45,738 --> 00:16:48,104
But you can see what I'm up against.
252
00:16:48,173 --> 00:16:52,769
I can either parole him in your custody,
or send him to state's prison.
253
00:16:53,679 --> 00:16:55,704
Maybe this is a judgment.
254
00:16:56,248 --> 00:16:59,513
The only empty bed in Boys Town
is in the infirmary.
255
00:17:44,363 --> 00:17:46,194
Where are the guards?
256
00:17:46,565 --> 00:17:49,932
I told you, Ted, there were
no guards here and no walls.
257
00:17:50,002 --> 00:17:52,630
Any boy is free to leave here
any time he wants to.
258
00:17:52,704 --> 00:17:55,036
How would I leave? Roller skate?
259
00:17:55,274 --> 00:17:59,074
Well, you might roller skate sometime
if a really fine doctor looked you over.
260
00:17:59,144 --> 00:18:01,203
Doctors! I won't have any part of them.
261
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:05,182
All they do is cut you up and hurt you.
They never do you any good.
262
00:18:05,250 --> 00:18:08,686
I knew you had some racket
getting me here. Them doctors again.
263
00:18:08,754 --> 00:18:11,382
Well, you can have them, all the doctors!
264
00:18:11,723 --> 00:18:15,557
Don't you worry, Ted. You'll never see
a doctor unless you want to.
265
00:18:16,728 --> 00:18:19,322
You sent for us, Father?
266
00:18:19,398 --> 00:18:20,956
- Yes.
- Hello, Mr. Morris.
267
00:18:21,033 --> 00:18:22,364
Hello, Whitey, Pee Wee.
268
00:18:22,434 --> 00:18:23,458
Hello, Mr. Morris.
269
00:18:23,535 --> 00:18:25,435
Pee Wee, were you a good boy
while I was away?
270
00:18:25,504 --> 00:18:27,938
- Yes, Father.
- Okay, go.
271
00:18:29,274 --> 00:18:31,071
You're cold, Pee Wee.
272
00:18:31,710 --> 00:18:34,508
Whitey, if you had something
to work out, you couldn't quite do it...
273
00:18:34,580 --> 00:18:36,775
but you had a good friend,
what would you do?
274
00:18:36,849 --> 00:18:39,249
Why, I'd ask my friend to help me.
275
00:18:39,318 --> 00:18:41,343
Getting warm now, Pee Wee.
276
00:18:41,987 --> 00:18:45,320
- Well, I know that you're my friend.
- You bet I am.
277
00:18:46,525 --> 00:18:49,358
You're hot now, Pee Wee.
You're getting very hot.
278
00:18:56,768 --> 00:18:58,929
Whitey, I've got a problem.
I want you to help me.
279
00:18:59,004 --> 00:19:01,097
The boy that came here in the ambulance?
280
00:19:01,173 --> 00:19:02,265
Yes.
281
00:19:02,941 --> 00:19:04,670
Oh, you're hot now.
282
00:19:04,877 --> 00:19:07,937
You're hot as a firecracker.
You're burning up.
283
00:19:24,596 --> 00:19:28,032
Well, go on. Take a piece for every day
you were a good boy.
284
00:19:28,100 --> 00:19:30,227
That makes six pieces, doesn't it?
285
00:19:32,237 --> 00:19:33,226
Whitey...
286
00:19:34,373 --> 00:19:36,273
what you do for this boy may determine...
287
00:19:36,341 --> 00:19:39,435
whether he's going to be a cripple
for the rest of his life, or not.
288
00:19:39,511 --> 00:19:41,035
He's had terrible things done to him.
289
00:19:41,113 --> 00:19:43,707
He has no faith in anybody
and I don't blame him.
290
00:19:43,782 --> 00:19:44,908
That's tough.
291
00:19:44,983 --> 00:19:48,146
He won't laugh, he won't smile.
That's where you come in.
292
00:19:48,453 --> 00:19:51,854
Anything you want, Father,
but what do you think I can do?
293
00:19:51,924 --> 00:19:54,449
Help make him believe in people again.
294
00:19:54,526 --> 00:19:56,517
Try to get him to smile.
295
00:19:56,728 --> 00:20:00,357
If you can get him to smile,
maybe I can do him some good.
296
00:20:00,866 --> 00:20:05,098
If that's the job, I'll get the gang together
and we'll make him smile, all right.
297
00:20:05,170 --> 00:20:06,967
It's not gonna be an easy job.
298
00:20:07,039 --> 00:20:09,803
Father, we'll have him laughing
out loud in no time.
299
00:20:09,875 --> 00:20:12,605
- Just a smile will be all right.
- All right. Goodbye, Father.
300
00:20:12,678 --> 00:20:14,976
- Goodbye, Mr. Morris.
- Goodbye, Whitey.
301
00:20:20,586 --> 00:20:21,814
Pee Wee!
302
00:20:26,191 --> 00:20:28,159
How many days was I away?
303
00:20:55,220 --> 00:20:56,448
Pee Wee.
304
00:21:02,761 --> 00:21:04,524
Hold out your hands.
305
00:21:11,436 --> 00:21:12,903
Thank you!
306
00:21:16,608 --> 00:21:20,203
- Eddie, you really think Whitey can help?
- I hope so.
307
00:21:20,279 --> 00:21:22,770
At least he may make Ted feel
that he's part of a community.
308
00:21:22,848 --> 00:21:24,839
That he belongs with other boys.
309
00:21:24,916 --> 00:21:28,579
And it won't hurt Whitey any to realize
he's doing a little job of reclamation.
310
00:21:28,654 --> 00:21:32,181
Doing some good for somebody else
will help build his character.
311
00:21:32,658 --> 00:21:35,126
- Ted's a tough problem.
- I'm not worried.
312
00:21:35,193 --> 00:21:39,220
There's no problem you can't solve,
except financial.
313
00:21:41,333 --> 00:21:42,800
Yeah, I know.
314
00:21:43,669 --> 00:21:47,628
The real problem is the reform school
like the one at Marysport.
315
00:21:47,806 --> 00:21:51,139
That place neither reforms nor schools.
It maims and destroys.
316
00:21:51,209 --> 00:21:52,198
Look at that boy, Ted.
317
00:21:52,277 --> 00:21:55,940
His idea of society is that it's a monster
which lashes boys with a whip.
318
00:21:56,014 --> 00:21:58,107
Beats them into submission.
319
00:21:58,216 --> 00:22:01,379
He's a terrible example
of places like Marysport.
320
00:22:01,486 --> 00:22:04,387
And those places have got to be
cleaned out.
321
00:22:04,523 --> 00:22:06,821
If there were 250 Boys Towns...
322
00:22:07,526 --> 00:22:10,427
I don't mean Catholic Boys Towns,
or Jewish Boys Towns...
323
00:22:10,495 --> 00:22:14,488
or Protestant Boys Towns,
just places run by men of good will.
324
00:22:14,566 --> 00:22:17,194
We could stop that factory-made
output of criminals...
325
00:22:17,269 --> 00:22:20,830
and make good, useful,
self-respecting citizens instead.
326
00:22:21,039 --> 00:22:24,805
Two hundred and fifty Boys Towns
he wants. Listen to him.
327
00:22:25,477 --> 00:22:29,072
Outside are five new buildings,
not even all finished yet.
328
00:22:29,147 --> 00:22:32,082
$200,000 we need
before we can open them up.
329
00:22:32,351 --> 00:22:36,788
Right here we have enough worries
to take 10 years off your life and mine.
330
00:22:36,855 --> 00:22:38,948
And 250 Boys Towns you want.
331
00:22:39,858 --> 00:22:42,190
Youth is the greatest natural resource
of the country.
332
00:22:42,260 --> 00:22:44,228
Whatever it costs to preserve it,
it's worth it.
333
00:22:44,296 --> 00:22:47,527
Eddie, Boys Town was Boys Town
when it was only a shack.
334
00:22:47,599 --> 00:22:51,057
It isn't buildings makes a place like this.
It's a man.
335
00:22:52,204 --> 00:22:56,971
You show me 250 Father Flanagans
and I'll get you 250 Boys Towns.
336
00:22:59,344 --> 00:23:03,246
Don't forget, the grand prizefor the winner is $5,000.
337
00:23:03,315 --> 00:23:05,715
Wouldn't you like to have a checkfor $5,000?
338
00:23:05,784 --> 00:23:07,718
Of course you would. Well, it's simple.
339
00:23:07,786 --> 00:23:11,187
All you've got to do is writethe best letter of 50 words telling why...
340
00:23:11,256 --> 00:23:13,588
Gossamer Soapies are kindestto your dainty undies...
341
00:23:13,658 --> 00:23:15,956
and win $5,000.
342
00:23:17,562 --> 00:23:19,928
This ought to win the contest, all right.
343
00:23:19,998 --> 00:23:22,558
- Are you going into the contest, too?
- Sure.
344
00:23:22,634 --> 00:23:25,432
This is the best job of typography
of any school paper in the state.
345
00:23:25,504 --> 00:23:28,735
- We're a cinch to win this year's award.
- Oh, that contest!
346
00:23:28,807 --> 00:23:31,401
I'm going to win $5,000 in a radio contest.
347
00:23:31,476 --> 00:23:34,001
You are? And what are you
going to do with all that coin?
348
00:23:34,079 --> 00:23:37,071
I thought we could give it
to Father Flanagan.
349
00:23:37,149 --> 00:23:39,640
And he could maybe
buy something to help Ted with.
350
00:23:39,718 --> 00:23:43,119
You know... like something.
351
00:23:43,755 --> 00:23:46,053
Yeah, I guess something
would help at that.
352
00:23:46,124 --> 00:23:49,252
Would you set my letter up
on the Linotype? Would you?
353
00:23:49,327 --> 00:23:53,058
- It'll look better that way.
- You let me hear it first, huh?
354
00:23:56,334 --> 00:23:59,770
"Dear Gossamer Soapies,
in reply to yours of even date"...
355
00:23:59,838 --> 00:24:02,102
Wait a minute. Where'd you learn that?
356
00:24:02,174 --> 00:24:05,337
I saw it on a letter
in Father Flanagan's office.
357
00:24:06,111 --> 00:24:08,875
You did? Was the letter addressed to you?
358
00:24:09,548 --> 00:24:11,675
No, to Father Flanagan.
359
00:24:12,617 --> 00:24:14,141
Well, go ahead.
360
00:24:14,553 --> 00:24:16,316
"Would state as follows:
361
00:24:16,388 --> 00:24:19,721
"My dainty undies always itched
and scratched when worn...
362
00:24:19,791 --> 00:24:22,692
"and especially the long woolly ones
in winter.
363
00:24:22,761 --> 00:24:25,559
"Since washing them
in Gossamer Soapies...
364
00:24:25,764 --> 00:24:30,201
"they don't itch me at all. Only
when I run around a lot and get sweaty."
365
00:24:30,769 --> 00:24:35,672
Do you think maybe I'd better say
"Perspirey"? It's more elegant-like.
366
00:24:36,608 --> 00:24:39,509
I'll make it "perspirey," if you can spell it.
367
00:24:41,513 --> 00:24:43,504
Better leave it "sweaty."
368
00:24:44,683 --> 00:24:46,708
Go put it on the Linotype.
369
00:24:50,188 --> 00:24:53,351
- Hello, Whitey.
- Look, everybody, sit down.
370
00:24:53,425 --> 00:24:55,359
We're going to have
an informal council meeting.
371
00:24:55,427 --> 00:24:59,090
No parliamentary procedures.
And look, Slim, no yelling this time.
372
00:24:59,164 --> 00:25:01,029
I can't. I got a cold.
373
00:25:02,033 --> 00:25:04,501
I've been waiting for you guys
to pop up with a suggestion...
374
00:25:04,569 --> 00:25:06,764
about going to work on Ted Martley,
and not a peep.
375
00:25:06,838 --> 00:25:08,328
Now, I'm giving you one more chance...
376
00:25:08,406 --> 00:25:11,102
before I take the whole situation
into my own hands.
377
00:25:11,176 --> 00:25:13,167
Well, who's got an idea?
378
00:25:13,912 --> 00:25:16,142
- Yes, Pee Wee?
- What about a broadcast?
379
00:25:16,214 --> 00:25:20,275
I fixed him a radio extension, and he
won't even laugh at Charlie McCarthy.
380
00:25:21,453 --> 00:25:22,442
Yes, Pee Wee?
381
00:25:22,521 --> 00:25:26,582
I mean, we can make up a fake broadcast,
you know, and you be the announcement.
382
00:25:26,658 --> 00:25:29,183
- I think Pee Wee's got something there.
- He has at that.
383
00:25:29,261 --> 00:25:32,253
- You bet he has.
- That's it, Pee Wee.
384
00:25:32,330 --> 00:25:33,922
You're a genius!
385
00:27:15,667 --> 00:27:16,691
Mo.
386
00:27:20,138 --> 00:27:24,040
Our last hope is to do the slow motion
rassling match, so, we'll get ready.
387
00:27:24,109 --> 00:27:25,770
- Frank.
- All right.
388
00:27:29,414 --> 00:27:34,351
Ladies and gentlemen,
this is the main event of the evening.
389
00:27:34,486 --> 00:27:38,752
A wrestling match for the
catchweight championship of the ashcan.
390
00:27:39,090 --> 00:27:42,651
In this corner, the Maston Mopper!
391
00:27:44,796 --> 00:27:47,230
Weighing two tons, four ounces!
392
00:27:47,432 --> 00:27:50,924
Introducing at this time, the titleholder:
393
00:27:51,002 --> 00:27:52,594
The Mosquito Menace!
394
00:27:55,674 --> 00:27:58,006
Weighing four ounces, two tons!
395
00:27:58,076 --> 00:28:01,842
All right, boys, right here. Now, look!
I want no fair wrestling in this match.
396
00:28:01,913 --> 00:28:04,973
Biting, butting, gouging, everything goes.
397
00:28:05,417 --> 00:28:07,146
And may the worst man win.
398
00:28:14,626 --> 00:28:18,255
All right, boys, go to your corners
and come out fainting.
399
00:31:30,021 --> 00:31:31,488
Say, who do you think you are, anyway?
400
00:31:31,556 --> 00:31:33,581
Don't you realize we went
to all that trouble for you...
401
00:31:33,658 --> 00:31:35,956
- rehearsing and everything?
- Nobody asked you to.
402
00:31:36,027 --> 00:31:38,587
I know, but you didn't even give us
a tumble, not even a snicker.
403
00:31:38,663 --> 00:31:41,154
And some of the stuff
was pretty good, too.
404
00:31:41,399 --> 00:31:43,867
Now you sent all of them out of here
down at the mouth.
405
00:31:43,935 --> 00:31:46,335
As far as I'm concerned,
you're all washed up with me.
406
00:31:46,404 --> 00:31:48,895
And if you never laugh, it'll be too soon.
407
00:31:57,749 --> 00:31:59,944
- Big car.
- Yeah.
408
00:32:00,184 --> 00:32:02,584
It ain't so hot. I seen better.
409
00:32:03,321 --> 00:32:05,881
Be swell to take Ted out
driving in that bus.
410
00:32:10,161 --> 00:32:12,129
Stay where you are, Brian Boru.
411
00:32:12,196 --> 00:32:15,757
Don't you go looking for any lions
to fight while we're away.
412
00:32:18,503 --> 00:32:20,562
Mr. and Mrs. Maitland
to see Father Flanagan.
413
00:32:20,638 --> 00:32:22,162
All right.
414
00:32:27,946 --> 00:32:29,436
Nice pup. Good dog.
415
00:32:29,514 --> 00:32:33,746
Say, you're a swell guy, doggie.
You've got plenty of what it takes.
416
00:32:33,818 --> 00:32:36,184
You'd make friends with anybody.
417
00:32:36,587 --> 00:32:38,054
That tickles!
418
00:32:39,424 --> 00:32:42,655
Say, it might work at that.
Come on, we'll try it.
419
00:33:41,886 --> 00:33:43,786
Gee, he sure likes you.
420
00:33:44,288 --> 00:33:46,620
- You think he does?
- Sure.
421
00:33:47,925 --> 00:33:51,884
- You like him?
- Yeah. He's friendly.
422
00:33:54,732 --> 00:33:56,359
Like to have him?
423
00:33:58,436 --> 00:34:00,927
- Could I?
- He's yours.
424
00:34:01,539 --> 00:34:02,938
Really mine?
425
00:34:14,118 --> 00:34:15,710
Thanks!
426
00:34:18,122 --> 00:34:20,352
Why, you, you're...
427
00:34:29,067 --> 00:34:30,329
Nice pup.
428
00:34:30,935 --> 00:34:33,563
- He likes you.
- I like him.
429
00:34:34,238 --> 00:34:37,401
- I like you, too.
- Whitey's a good guy.
430
00:34:37,508 --> 00:34:39,442
You got to like him, too.
431
00:34:39,977 --> 00:34:43,003
- He bawled me out the other night.
- He's my pal.
432
00:34:45,116 --> 00:34:47,812
Do you think he'd be my pal, too?
433
00:34:48,319 --> 00:34:51,015
Sure he will. I'll lend him to you.
434
00:34:57,261 --> 00:34:59,320
- He smiled, Father! He smiled.
- Ted.
435
00:34:59,397 --> 00:35:01,729
Sure he smiled, and he talked to me, too.
He said, "Thanks."
436
00:35:01,799 --> 00:35:02,823
It's Ted Martley.
437
00:35:02,900 --> 00:35:05,733
You'll have to excuse me.
I guess we're on our way at last.
438
00:35:20,818 --> 00:35:24,049
- Pee Wee's a great lad, isn't he?
- Yeah, swell.
439
00:35:25,923 --> 00:35:28,289
How about Whitey?
How do you get along with him?
440
00:35:28,359 --> 00:35:30,122
He gave me this pup.
441
00:35:30,761 --> 00:35:34,219
- Looks like a great pup.
- He is. Ain't you, fella?
442
00:35:36,767 --> 00:35:39,759
Ted, I'd like to make a little deal with you.
443
00:35:40,238 --> 00:35:44,174
You've been manhandled by a lot of people
who didn't know their business.
444
00:35:44,242 --> 00:35:48,474
I'd like to have you looked over
by two of the best doctors in the country.
445
00:35:48,546 --> 00:35:50,480
No. No doctors!
446
00:35:59,056 --> 00:36:01,581
I see you're interested in football.
447
00:36:03,327 --> 00:36:06,387
- Yeah.
- Do you know Trem Fellows?
448
00:36:07,231 --> 00:36:10,359
Yeah, I know him. He was all-American.
Played for Nebraska.
449
00:36:10,434 --> 00:36:12,459
Read all about him in a magazine.
He was great.
450
00:36:12,537 --> 00:36:13,629
Yeah.
451
00:36:14,338 --> 00:36:16,863
Just as great a surgeon
as he was a football player, too.
452
00:36:16,941 --> 00:36:20,377
- Then that makes him tops, huh?
- He's tops, all right, Ted.
453
00:36:23,181 --> 00:36:24,409
Yeah...
454
00:36:24,949 --> 00:36:28,385
but I guess he costs a lot of money
and I haven't any.
455
00:36:30,588 --> 00:36:33,148
I think maybe that could be handled.
456
00:36:37,895 --> 00:36:40,693
Now, Ted, I want you to be
the boss of this thing.
457
00:36:40,765 --> 00:36:43,700
Just let Trem Fellows look you over.
Talk to him.
458
00:36:43,768 --> 00:36:46,293
He'll tell you
whether he can help you or not.
459
00:36:46,370 --> 00:36:48,804
And send for me,
and I'll abide by your decision.
460
00:36:48,873 --> 00:36:51,205
I won't try to force you
one way or the other.
461
00:36:51,275 --> 00:36:54,642
Whatever you say goes.
What do you say, Ted?
462
00:37:02,853 --> 00:37:04,753
Bring on Trem Fellows.
463
00:37:07,325 --> 00:37:09,555
We'd better leave them alone.
464
00:37:12,463 --> 00:37:14,454
I'm beginning to believe in miracles.
465
00:37:14,532 --> 00:37:18,229
Father Ed can pull any kind of a miracle
out of an old boot.
466
00:37:18,302 --> 00:37:21,499
Except if it has to do
with meeting a contractor's bill.
467
00:37:21,572 --> 00:37:24,063
- And that, I suppose, is your department.
- Strictly.
468
00:37:24,141 --> 00:37:26,541
Well, we contributed to this one.
469
00:37:26,711 --> 00:37:28,508
You did, or you will?
470
00:37:28,579 --> 00:37:31,707
We did. At least, it's our dog
the boy's playing with.
471
00:37:32,083 --> 00:37:34,483
I wonder how the pup got up here.
472
00:37:35,453 --> 00:37:37,751
I took him. Excuse me.
473
00:37:37,822 --> 00:37:41,519
I didn't know he was anybody's
and then I thought of Ted and...
474
00:37:41,592 --> 00:37:45,323
so that's how it was. I didn't really mean
to keep him for good or for keeps.
475
00:37:45,396 --> 00:37:47,921
- I see.
- And then Ted asked me for him...
476
00:37:47,999 --> 00:37:51,162
and I told him, yes, he could keep him.
And I...
477
00:37:53,504 --> 00:37:55,404
- Look Mr...
- Maitland.
478
00:37:55,906 --> 00:37:58,500
Mr. Maitland, I can't ask Ted
to give him back now.
479
00:37:58,576 --> 00:38:00,635
It's the only thing
that ever made him smile.
480
00:38:00,711 --> 00:38:03,145
That's an awful funny-looking dog.
481
00:38:08,352 --> 00:38:11,116
I'll pay you for the dog.
I've got about $4 saved up...
482
00:38:11,188 --> 00:38:14,419
and I make a little
doing extra printing jobs around...
483
00:38:14,492 --> 00:38:17,791
and I'll send it to you, every cent,
if you'll only let me buy him, please.
484
00:38:17,862 --> 00:38:19,489
- What is he worth?
- That pup?
485
00:38:19,563 --> 00:38:21,326
About $100, I guess.
486
00:38:22,366 --> 00:38:23,390
A hundred dollars?
487
00:38:23,467 --> 00:38:25,935
He's worth a lot more than that
to you though, isn't he, dear?
488
00:38:26,003 --> 00:38:28,301
Not as much as he's worth to Ted.
489
00:38:28,372 --> 00:38:32,274
We'll call the deal then,
just as it stands now, even-steven.
490
00:38:32,343 --> 00:38:34,072
You mean he can keep him for nothing?
491
00:38:34,145 --> 00:38:36,136
I'd like to see somebody
try to take him away.
492
00:38:36,213 --> 00:38:39,080
Thank you, sir. And thank you.
493
00:38:39,150 --> 00:38:41,914
I mean, isn't that swell of them. Yeah.
494
00:38:46,657 --> 00:38:48,750
I gave him a tough moment there
about the $100.
495
00:38:48,826 --> 00:38:51,556
- But he stood up to it well.
- Very well.
496
00:38:52,663 --> 00:38:54,290
You know, dear...
497
00:38:54,999 --> 00:38:58,093
he's about the same age
our boy would have been.
498
00:38:58,235 --> 00:39:00,669
Yes, about the age.
499
00:39:02,073 --> 00:39:04,041
Whitey's a fine boy.
500
00:39:07,912 --> 00:39:12,212
Of course, Whitey could never take
the place of your own son, no boy could.
501
00:39:12,283 --> 00:39:16,014
He's an individual with his own character,
a very well-defined character.
502
00:39:16,087 --> 00:39:18,555
He's a manly boy,
and if he can learn to love us...
503
00:39:18,622 --> 00:39:20,647
we're both only too ready to love him.
504
00:39:20,725 --> 00:39:22,955
It will make room here for one more boy.
505
00:39:23,027 --> 00:39:26,190
I understand from Mr. Morris
that you need room badly.
506
00:39:26,263 --> 00:39:28,731
If Whitey weren't the mayor
of Boys Town...
507
00:39:28,799 --> 00:39:31,962
People have to get over giving up
lots of things.
508
00:39:32,837 --> 00:39:35,499
He edits the school paper, too, you know.
509
00:39:35,573 --> 00:39:38,906
I'm sure you've taught some other boy
here how to write English, Father.
510
00:39:38,976 --> 00:39:42,241
And he's a great quarterback.
He's the best we've had here in years.
511
00:39:42,313 --> 00:39:44,804
They play football up our way, too.
512
00:39:46,517 --> 00:39:48,644
We've tried to do
what we could for people...
513
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:52,314
and there's a satisfaction in knowing
that we have accomplished something.
514
00:39:52,390 --> 00:39:55,154
There's so much of a case history
about them.
515
00:39:55,226 --> 00:39:58,127
And I'm selfish enough
to want something warmer...
516
00:39:58,195 --> 00:40:00,095
something closer to me.
517
00:40:05,870 --> 00:40:08,998
Of course, the final decision rests
with the boy himself.
518
00:40:09,073 --> 00:40:10,404
Naturally.
519
00:40:14,512 --> 00:40:16,844
- Yes, Father?
- Send Whitey Marsh in right away.
520
00:40:16,914 --> 00:40:18,313
Yes, Father.
521
00:40:19,550 --> 00:40:22,519
Of course, the boy will have to
readjust himself to...
522
00:40:22,586 --> 00:40:24,884
a wholly new environment and...
523
00:40:25,289 --> 00:40:27,757
that's something that he couldn't do
in a minute.
524
00:40:27,825 --> 00:40:29,156
Who could?
525
00:40:32,596 --> 00:40:35,690
I think it would be fairer
to you and to him...
526
00:40:35,766 --> 00:40:38,564
if we fixed a sort of trial period...
527
00:40:39,570 --> 00:40:41,435
of about three months.
528
00:40:41,505 --> 00:40:43,939
That seems very fair to everyone.
529
00:40:46,210 --> 00:40:48,804
There's something else
I think I ought to tell you.
530
00:40:48,879 --> 00:40:51,507
And that's about Whitey's older brother.
531
00:40:51,582 --> 00:40:53,982
He was in trouble all of his life.
532
00:40:54,051 --> 00:40:57,509
As a matter of fact,
he was sent to the electric chair.
533
00:40:59,590 --> 00:41:02,115
You think a lot of that boy, Father.
534
00:41:03,093 --> 00:41:04,424
Yes, I do.
535
00:41:05,062 --> 00:41:09,692
Yes. You're painting so black a picture
I suspect you of wanting to hold onto him.
536
00:41:10,067 --> 00:41:12,001
- Whitey is...
- Anything wrong, Father?
537
00:41:12,069 --> 00:41:13,866
No, Whitey.
538
00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:18,406
How long have you been here now,
Whitey?
539
00:41:19,043 --> 00:41:21,511
Three years. You know that, Father.
540
00:41:21,579 --> 00:41:25,481
I suppose sometimes you've thought of
the day when you'd leave Boys Town?
541
00:41:25,549 --> 00:41:27,449
After I graduate, sure.
542
00:41:30,621 --> 00:41:34,853
Yes, others have gone before you,
others will go after you.
543
00:41:36,694 --> 00:41:38,685
What do you mean, Father?
544
00:41:40,030 --> 00:41:41,657
There comes a...
545
00:41:43,767 --> 00:41:45,894
I guess you'd better tell him.
546
00:41:48,772 --> 00:41:52,139
Whitey, my husband and I had a boy...
547
00:41:53,143 --> 00:41:54,667
about your age.
548
00:41:55,813 --> 00:41:58,805
- We lost him two years ago.
- I'm very sorry.
549
00:41:59,550 --> 00:42:01,677
We're very lonesome without him...
550
00:42:01,752 --> 00:42:06,382
and we have many advantages to offer
a boy who could take his place with us.
551
00:42:08,125 --> 00:42:10,923
Yes, ma'am. I see.
552
00:42:11,295 --> 00:42:13,058
You remind us very much of him.
553
00:42:13,130 --> 00:42:17,726
About the same age. And Father Flanagan
tells me you're very interested in radio.
554
00:42:17,968 --> 00:42:22,200
Yes. I've had the radio bug
for a long time now.
555
00:42:22,606 --> 00:42:25,507
There's a set up over the garage
of our home. It can get anything.
556
00:42:25,576 --> 00:42:28,238
If there are any more gadgets you want,
we'll get them.
557
00:42:28,312 --> 00:42:31,577
We want you to come home
with us, Whitey. Will you?
558
00:42:33,117 --> 00:42:35,108
- And leave Boys Town?
- Yes.
559
00:42:37,888 --> 00:42:40,254
- For good?
- We hope so, Whitey.
560
00:42:45,329 --> 00:42:48,321
- It's up to Father Flanagan, isn't it?
- No.
561
00:42:49,767 --> 00:42:52,361
No, I think that's up to you, Whitey.
562
00:42:54,805 --> 00:42:57,740
You always told me
what to do before, Father.
563
00:42:59,143 --> 00:43:01,441
About important things, I mean.
564
00:43:01,912 --> 00:43:06,076
I think this is too important.
I think this decision rests with you.
565
00:43:08,485 --> 00:43:12,046
What do you feel?
What do you think I should do about it?
566
00:43:12,856 --> 00:43:14,790
Do you want me to leave here?
567
00:43:14,858 --> 00:43:17,850
Whitey, it isn't a question
of what I want you to do.
568
00:43:17,928 --> 00:43:19,953
It's what's best for you.
569
00:43:21,899 --> 00:43:24,595
I thought I was doing pretty good here.
570
00:43:25,669 --> 00:43:28,604
You are doing good. Splendidly, Whitey.
571
00:43:28,672 --> 00:43:31,106
You're the best helper I ever had.
572
00:43:32,710 --> 00:43:36,271
About six months I'd graduate.
573
00:43:37,715 --> 00:43:41,617
You can carry on your studies
in another school.
574
00:43:42,086 --> 00:43:43,610
Another school?
575
00:43:45,522 --> 00:43:48,548
Different fellas, everything.
576
00:43:49,627 --> 00:43:53,188
You'll never have any trouble
making friends now, Whitey, ever.
577
00:43:53,263 --> 00:43:57,666
If you don't like it with us after a fair trial,
you can come back here.
578
00:43:59,269 --> 00:44:01,794
Is that the way you want it, Father?
579
00:44:04,008 --> 00:44:07,500
Yes, Whitey, I do. I think that's best.
580
00:44:20,090 --> 00:44:21,990
I'll be ready tomorrow.
581
00:44:26,363 --> 00:44:28,888
- You found a name for him yet?
- Yeah.
582
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:33,458
- I call him Bohunk.
- Bohunk. That's pretty good.
583
00:44:33,837 --> 00:44:35,532
Where you going to?
584
00:44:36,507 --> 00:44:39,101
It's a place about a 1,000 miles
away from here.
585
00:44:39,176 --> 00:44:41,770
- Marysport.
- Yeah.
586
00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:46,506
I know. I was there.
587
00:44:47,918 --> 00:44:49,283
Sorry, Ted.
588
00:44:51,722 --> 00:44:55,180
- Say, could you do me a favor?
- You know I would.
589
00:44:56,226 --> 00:44:59,753
I got a pal in the Reform School up there,
Miles Fenely.
590
00:45:00,230 --> 00:45:02,994
- Would you go up and see him?
- Sure I will.
591
00:45:03,067 --> 00:45:06,730
He can have visitors
if he hasn't lost privileges.
592
00:45:07,838 --> 00:45:10,238
- What was the name again?
- Miles Fenely.
593
00:45:10,307 --> 00:45:12,434
- F-A-N?
- F-E-N-E-L-Y.
594
00:45:13,644 --> 00:45:16,477
Gee, I sure wish we could get him up here.
595
00:45:16,547 --> 00:45:19,345
I'll look him over
and then I'll write Father Flanagan.
596
00:45:19,416 --> 00:45:20,883
That's great.
597
00:45:21,852 --> 00:45:24,548
- Now take good care of yourself, Ted.
- Sure.
598
00:45:26,190 --> 00:45:28,215
You too, Whitey.
599
00:45:33,764 --> 00:45:34,958
Bohunk.
600
00:45:39,703 --> 00:45:43,332
Tell the new editor, I guess it'll be Mo,
to put this in the next issue of the paper.
601
00:45:43,407 --> 00:45:45,068
It's my farewell to the gang.
602
00:45:45,142 --> 00:45:46,905
I'll take care of it.
603
00:45:46,977 --> 00:45:49,946
There's no nonsense in it
or any of that softie stuff.
604
00:45:50,013 --> 00:45:52,607
I don't go for none of that crying
or any of that.
605
00:45:52,683 --> 00:45:53,877
Me, neither.
606
00:45:53,951 --> 00:45:57,114
I'll write you when I feel like it, see?
Just when I feel like it.
607
00:45:57,187 --> 00:45:58,415
Me, too.
608
00:45:58,489 --> 00:46:01,117
Writing letters is a pain in the neck.
609
00:46:03,727 --> 00:46:06,719
- Yeah, I got a big set where I'm going.
- Yeah.
610
00:46:07,598 --> 00:46:10,123
Now I know why I worked on you
to get your license...
611
00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:13,192
- so you can keep this heap going.
- Sure.
612
00:46:15,038 --> 00:46:17,768
I'll call you at 6:00
every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday...
613
00:46:17,841 --> 00:46:21,106
- just so you won't get stale.
- Yeah, I know.
614
00:46:21,245 --> 00:46:23,679
- You'll listen for me?
- I'll be on.
615
00:46:25,949 --> 00:46:29,385
It's not like I wasn't going to have
a swell time.
616
00:46:30,354 --> 00:46:33,619
Gee, I wish they wanted me, too.
617
00:46:34,358 --> 00:46:38,761
When you're old enough to get adopted,
I'll be rich enough to adopt you.
618
00:46:39,229 --> 00:46:41,026
You'll remember that?
619
00:46:41,098 --> 00:46:44,590
When I'm old enough
and you're rich enough...
620
00:46:44,701 --> 00:46:47,795
- you'll remember, Whitey?
- I'll remember.
621
00:46:49,206 --> 00:46:51,436
- Honest, I will.
- Whitey.
622
00:47:06,523 --> 00:47:09,515
I'll give some thought to your problem
when I get home, Mr. Morris.
623
00:47:09,593 --> 00:47:12,153
I hope you can see your way clear
to help us.
624
00:47:13,764 --> 00:47:15,356
Good day, Mr. Morris.
625
00:47:15,432 --> 00:47:17,593
A pleasant trip
to you and to Mrs. Maitland.
626
00:47:17,668 --> 00:47:18,896
Thank you.
627
00:47:19,002 --> 00:47:21,436
You won't forget about us, Whitey?
628
00:47:23,106 --> 00:47:25,165
No, I won't, Father.
629
00:47:27,878 --> 00:47:31,507
I'll try to be a credit to you
and Boys Town.
630
00:47:35,052 --> 00:47:37,680
The Maitlands are fine people, Whitey.
631
00:47:38,522 --> 00:47:42,390
Think of them as the mother and father
from whom you've been separated...
632
00:47:42,459 --> 00:47:44,484
and have just found again.
633
00:47:45,629 --> 00:47:47,028
Yes, Father.
634
00:47:53,537 --> 00:47:55,198
Good luck, Whitey.
635
00:47:57,641 --> 00:47:58,903
Bye, Mo.
636
00:48:00,377 --> 00:48:02,743
You better be a good mayor
if they elect you...
637
00:48:02,813 --> 00:48:05,441
or I'll come around and beat your ears off.
638
00:48:05,515 --> 00:48:07,710
I've got to be elected first.
639
00:48:15,826 --> 00:48:18,920
Hop in. My arm's getting cramps.
640
00:48:20,264 --> 00:48:21,856
Okay, tough guy.
641
00:48:46,256 --> 00:48:48,986
You can't hold onto them forever, Eddie.
642
00:49:20,113 --> 00:49:23,640
Say, wouldn't you like to sit this one out
and get a cold drink or something?
643
00:49:23,716 --> 00:49:25,183
I'd adore it.
644
00:49:31,691 --> 00:49:34,956
- Will you finish this one with me, Agnes?
- I'd adore it.
645
00:49:35,028 --> 00:49:37,326
No, that's all right, go right ahead.
646
00:49:37,397 --> 00:49:40,230
- You don't mind? You're sure?
- No. Not at all.
647
00:49:40,300 --> 00:49:44,293
I've been much too busy all my life
to pay much attention to dancing, anyway.
648
00:49:44,370 --> 00:49:47,737
- You know, more important things to do.
- Thanks, bud.
649
00:50:03,323 --> 00:50:07,384
- Who's that homely-looking girl out there?
- That's my sister.
650
00:50:10,763 --> 00:50:13,561
- She's a swell dancer.
- Yeah.
651
00:50:25,011 --> 00:50:26,205
Look.
652
00:50:27,480 --> 00:50:29,345
- Excuse me, dear.
- Of course.
653
00:50:31,751 --> 00:50:35,209
Isn't it about time you danced
your duty dance with me?
654
00:50:35,588 --> 00:50:37,351
- Yes, ma'am.
- "Mother."
655
00:50:38,224 --> 00:50:39,418
Mother.
656
00:50:55,041 --> 00:50:57,669
- Never hit a golf ball in your life, Whitey?
- No, sir.
657
00:50:57,744 --> 00:51:01,976
At Boys Town, we always kind of thought
this was sort of a sissy game.
658
00:51:02,916 --> 00:51:06,579
- Sissy game?
- That is, you played it when you got older.
659
00:51:07,086 --> 00:51:10,886
As the old Scotsman said, Whitey,
"Golf is a humbling game."
660
00:51:15,929 --> 00:51:19,558
All right. Go ahead.
You take a sock at one.
661
00:51:20,667 --> 00:51:23,465
You'll find out what a softie game it is.
662
00:51:24,237 --> 00:51:25,499
Yes, sir.
663
00:51:39,719 --> 00:51:41,084
Here it is.
664
00:51:44,958 --> 00:51:47,051
- I missed it.
- Yeah.
665
00:52:01,441 --> 00:52:04,638
- Just put it on my bill.
- Okay, Mr. Maitland.
666
00:52:05,511 --> 00:52:07,843
Sissy game? Try another.
667
00:52:07,914 --> 00:52:10,348
As the old Scotchman said,
"Golf is a humbling game."
668
00:52:10,416 --> 00:52:13,146
I think I'll just walk around with you.
669
00:52:17,690 --> 00:52:20,284
- Any news yet, Father?
- What did the doctors say, Father?
670
00:52:20,360 --> 00:52:22,351
- Can they do anything for Ted?
- Can they fix him up?
671
00:52:22,428 --> 00:52:24,089
Is he gonna be all right?
672
00:52:24,163 --> 00:52:25,653
Doctors are with Ted now.
673
00:52:25,732 --> 00:52:29,031
We'll know as soon as they finish
their examination.
674
00:52:29,769 --> 00:52:32,636
- How about a little game of handball, Mo?
- Okay.
675
00:52:32,705 --> 00:52:34,900
- How many points will you give me?
- Eleven.
676
00:52:34,974 --> 00:52:37,465
- Twelve and I serve.
- Twelve and you serve.
677
00:52:45,418 --> 00:52:46,783
Here we go.
678
00:52:50,923 --> 00:52:52,117
Ready?
679
00:52:53,059 --> 00:52:54,458
- Ready.
- Okay.
680
00:52:54,527 --> 00:52:55,755
Service.
681
00:53:04,003 --> 00:53:05,368
Your serve.
682
00:53:06,105 --> 00:53:07,834
I got him, Pee Wee.
683
00:53:08,975 --> 00:53:10,203
Service.
684
00:53:12,011 --> 00:53:14,206
I don't know how Father Ed stands it.
685
00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:18,011
Night and day, a few hours for sleep,
that's all the free time he has.
686
00:53:18,084 --> 00:53:22,180
Me, I wouldn't work that hard to make
a million a year, net, clear of taxes.
687
00:53:22,255 --> 00:53:25,281
I've got to get in my two golf games
a week, or no go.
688
00:53:25,358 --> 00:53:28,725
But all work and no play
seems to be Father Flanagan's routine.
689
00:53:28,795 --> 00:53:30,023
Service.
690
00:53:40,573 --> 00:53:44,805
You're right, Dave, I don't see
how he stands up under this drudgery.
691
00:53:45,578 --> 00:53:46,738
Eddie.
692
00:53:48,247 --> 00:53:49,714
I'm sorry, Mo. We'll finish it later.
693
00:53:49,782 --> 00:53:52,342
I'm not sorry,
I wouldn't have made a point.
694
00:53:52,418 --> 00:53:55,285
- Pee Wee, come on. You want to play?
- Sure.
695
00:53:56,489 --> 00:53:58,457
I'll spot you 15 points.
696
00:53:59,926 --> 00:54:01,791
And probably beat you.
697
00:54:02,962 --> 00:54:03,986
I serve.
698
00:54:04,063 --> 00:54:06,156
- Roger, how are you?
- Splendid, thanks.
699
00:54:06,232 --> 00:54:07,460
You're looking well.
700
00:54:07,533 --> 00:54:10,627
Nothing like regular exercise
for keeping a man fit, Father?
701
00:54:10,703 --> 00:54:12,898
- It doesn't hurt the boys, either.
- You must be right.
702
00:54:12,972 --> 00:54:15,372
I haven't seen one of them
without a big smile on his face.
703
00:54:15,441 --> 00:54:17,807
If they weren't smiling,
our work would be a failure.
704
00:54:17,877 --> 00:54:19,970
There's Dr. Fellows. I want to see him.
705
00:54:23,116 --> 00:54:25,175
Father, I believe we can help him.
706
00:54:25,251 --> 00:54:29,745
It will require a very delicate operation.
In fact, two operations in one.
707
00:54:29,822 --> 00:54:32,985
I doubt if any man in America can do it
as well as Trem Fellows.
708
00:54:33,059 --> 00:54:34,526
No advertising, Doctor.
709
00:54:34,594 --> 00:54:37,062
There'll be some tragically painful weeks
for the boy...
710
00:54:37,130 --> 00:54:39,394
but the usefulness of his leg
can be restored.
711
00:54:39,465 --> 00:54:41,399
I'll be on hand for the surgery, Father...
712
00:54:41,467 --> 00:54:44,163
but the boy himself
will have to supply the faith.
713
00:54:44,237 --> 00:54:47,832
You're going to fix up the boy with
the broken back so he can walk again?
714
00:54:47,907 --> 00:54:50,068
I think so, if he'll help us.
715
00:54:50,143 --> 00:54:52,168
Well, I sincerely hope so.
716
00:54:52,545 --> 00:54:55,036
And, Dave, you're still going to raise
the $200,000...
717
00:54:55,114 --> 00:54:57,207
to meet the contractor's payment?
718
00:54:57,283 --> 00:54:59,308
- Leave that to me.
- Gladly.
719
00:55:00,153 --> 00:55:02,348
Two miracles at the same time?
720
00:55:02,421 --> 00:55:05,584
Well, I'll be very interested
in seeing them done. Very.
721
00:55:05,658 --> 00:55:09,025
Let's hope the day of miracles
hasn't passed. Excuse me, gentlemen.
722
00:55:11,397 --> 00:55:12,591
Sister.
723
00:55:22,608 --> 00:55:23,666
Ted?
724
00:55:23,976 --> 00:55:26,968
- How'd you like Dr. Fellows, Ted?
- He's swell.
725
00:55:27,313 --> 00:55:28,871
Do you know what he told me?
726
00:55:28,948 --> 00:55:31,644
He told me he was always scared
before a football game.
727
00:55:31,717 --> 00:55:34,015
You don't believe that, do you?
728
00:55:36,789 --> 00:55:40,350
I don't think Dr. Fellows would lie to you.
Do you, Ted?
729
00:55:42,128 --> 00:55:43,789
Well, I guess not.
730
00:55:44,096 --> 00:55:47,190
But he looks to me
like he wasn't scared of anything.
731
00:55:47,266 --> 00:55:50,258
Well, it's being afraid of something
and then going right ahead...
732
00:55:50,336 --> 00:55:53,669
and doing what you're supposed to do
even though you are afraid...
733
00:55:53,739 --> 00:55:56,537
that's what makes
a really brave man, Ted.
734
00:55:57,243 --> 00:55:59,108
Yeah. I see.
735
00:55:59,345 --> 00:56:02,974
Like being hurt a lot and still...
736
00:56:05,318 --> 00:56:07,809
What did Dr. Fellows tell you, Ted?
737
00:56:09,121 --> 00:56:11,817
He said it would hurt a long time...
738
00:56:12,158 --> 00:56:15,559
worse than having your arm broken
in a football game.
739
00:56:15,628 --> 00:56:18,791
But he said he could fix me up
so I could walk...
740
00:56:19,699 --> 00:56:21,428
if I wanted him to.
741
00:56:22,301 --> 00:56:26,135
It must be great to be able to do things
like that for people.
742
00:56:31,143 --> 00:56:35,341
Do you think maybe it'd be a good idea
now for Bohunk to go out for a little walk?
743
00:56:35,414 --> 00:56:38,975
Yeah. Pee Wee ought to be coming
along after him pretty soon now.
744
00:56:39,051 --> 00:56:43,613
I think maybe Pee Wee might be a little
late today. Do you mind if I take him out?
745
00:56:44,724 --> 00:56:46,487
No, I'd like you to.
746
00:56:47,393 --> 00:56:48,985
Come on, Bohunk.
747
00:56:56,736 --> 00:56:58,203
Here, Bohunk.
748
00:56:59,605 --> 00:57:01,197
Come on, Bohunk.
749
00:57:02,375 --> 00:57:06,937
He doesn't like to go out with anybody.
Pee Wee has to carry him sometimes.
750
00:57:09,415 --> 00:57:11,815
I guess I'll have to get well...
751
00:57:11,918 --> 00:57:14,318
so I can take him out for a walk.
752
00:57:14,620 --> 00:57:17,111
Shall I tell Dr. Fellows that, Ted?
753
00:57:18,925 --> 00:57:21,018
Tell him I'm scared, too...
754
00:57:22,395 --> 00:57:24,386
but I ain't that scared.
755
00:57:24,630 --> 00:57:26,257
He'll be proud of you.
756
00:57:26,332 --> 00:57:29,392
But you'll be here when they do it,
won't you, Father?
757
00:57:29,468 --> 00:57:33,871
You promise me that, don't you?
You'll be right alongside me, won't you?
758
00:57:35,274 --> 00:57:37,242
I'll be right here, Ted.
759
00:57:41,614 --> 00:57:44,481
Go on, Bohunk.
Go out with Father Flanagan.
760
00:58:22,755 --> 00:58:25,223
W7BDF calling W9YDK.
761
00:58:27,226 --> 00:58:30,627
- Come in.
- I was waiting, Whitey. How are you?
762
00:58:30,730 --> 00:58:33,824
Couldn't be better.
Say, how's Ted coming along?
763
00:58:34,900 --> 00:58:37,664
- They're going to operate soon.
- They are?
764
00:58:37,737 --> 00:58:39,102
Pee Wee, you be sure and call me...
765
00:58:39,171 --> 00:58:41,799
the minute you find out
how everything comes out.
766
00:58:41,874 --> 00:58:43,364
Sure. I will.
767
00:58:44,110 --> 00:58:48,206
Ted told me to ask you if you saw
his pal yet. Miles Fenely, he says.
768
00:58:48,280 --> 00:58:51,249
Tell him I was over there twice,
but they wouldn't let me in.
769
00:58:51,317 --> 00:58:54,616
Tell Ted that I'm going to drive over there
again tomorrow...
770
00:58:54,687 --> 00:58:56,848
and this time I'll get in all right.
771
00:58:56,922 --> 00:58:59,755
Drive over? You mean hitchhike.
772
00:58:59,825 --> 00:59:03,261
No, drive.I've got my own car now, a roadster.
773
00:59:04,096 --> 00:59:05,859
With a grumble seat?
774
00:59:07,133 --> 00:59:09,158
Yeah, with a grumble seat.
775
00:59:10,236 --> 00:59:13,069
Quit kidding me, Whitey, that ain't right.
776
00:59:14,106 --> 00:59:16,666
Wait just a minute, will you, Pee Wee?
777
00:59:16,742 --> 00:59:17,970
Come in.
778
00:59:22,248 --> 00:59:23,613
Beg pardon, Master Whitey...
779
00:59:23,682 --> 00:59:25,912
but would that be Master Pee Wee
you're communicating with?
780
00:59:25,985 --> 00:59:27,384
Nobody else.
781
00:59:27,787 --> 00:59:31,848
Pee Wee, wait just a minute.
Parsons wants to say a few words to you.
782
00:59:31,924 --> 00:59:33,949
- Go ahead.
- Thank you, sir.
783
00:59:34,293 --> 00:59:38,730
Master Pee Wee, this is Parsons calling.
How did you fare in the radio contest?
784
00:59:39,598 --> 00:59:43,432
I didn't win it. They're a bunch of gyps.
785
00:59:44,737 --> 00:59:48,639
What? You didn't win the $5,000?
That's very regrettable.
786
00:59:49,375 --> 00:59:53,675
Yes, I'm afraid the Gossamer Soapies are,
as you say, a bunch of gyps.
787
00:59:54,413 --> 00:59:57,143
And, Master... Just one moment, please.
788
00:59:57,817 --> 01:00:00,285
The master asked me to tell you, sir,
to dress this evening.
789
01:00:00,352 --> 01:00:01,819
The family is going out for dinner.
790
01:00:01,887 --> 01:00:03,980
What? I've got to put on
one of those monkey suits again?
791
01:00:04,056 --> 01:00:06,183
- That's what the master said.
- Twice in one week.
792
01:00:06,258 --> 01:00:09,386
Some night they'll find me strangled
to death by one of those stiff collars.
793
01:00:09,462 --> 01:00:10,690
Pee Wee.
794
01:00:11,864 --> 01:00:14,492
Pee Wee, I've got to get myself
wrapped up in a straitjacket.
795
01:00:14,567 --> 01:00:16,967
So tell Ted I'm gonna go over
to that place again tomorrow...
796
01:00:17,036 --> 01:00:18,594
and I'm going to see his pal for sure.
797
01:00:18,671 --> 01:00:22,198
So long, Pee Wee, and don't let
Father Flanagan work too hard.
798
01:00:22,274 --> 01:00:24,742
All right, go ahead, you can
monkey around with it a little more.
799
01:00:24,810 --> 01:00:26,243
Thank you, sir.
800
01:00:26,312 --> 01:00:29,509
- And don't "sir" me, will you, please?
- No, sir, I won't.
801
01:00:29,582 --> 01:00:32,107
Are you still there, Master Pee Wee?
802
01:00:45,231 --> 01:00:49,224
- Well, if it ain't fancy-pants again.
- Yep, again.
803
01:00:49,435 --> 01:00:53,963
You're getting to be part of the scenery,
ain't you? And not very pretty, either.
804
01:00:54,206 --> 01:00:56,606
Look, I want to see Miles Fenely.
805
01:00:56,775 --> 01:00:59,073
You ain't his father,
and you ain't his mother...
806
01:00:59,145 --> 01:01:00,442
and you ain't a relative.
807
01:01:00,513 --> 01:01:04,040
This is the third time I've told you that,
and three strikes is out in any league.
808
01:01:04,116 --> 01:01:07,677
- I want to talk to the Superintendent.
- Write him a letter.
809
01:01:07,753 --> 01:01:10,381
- I did.
- Did you now?
810
01:01:10,990 --> 01:01:13,618
And you mean to say you got no answer?
811
01:01:15,361 --> 01:01:17,192
You're a great kidder, aren't you?
812
01:01:17,263 --> 01:01:19,925
If a certain friend of mine was here now
I'd get in there all right.
813
01:01:19,999 --> 01:01:22,297
And I'm going to talk to him tonight
and tell him about this.
814
01:01:22,368 --> 01:01:25,769
Unless your pal's
the Governor of the State, don't bother.
815
01:01:25,838 --> 01:01:28,636
Fenely's in solitary section for 30 days.
816
01:01:29,008 --> 01:01:30,908
And nobody can see him.
817
01:01:31,443 --> 01:01:33,673
Solitary section? What's that?
818
01:01:34,146 --> 01:01:37,843
It's something that's just as well for you
that you ain't in.
819
01:01:40,152 --> 01:01:43,280
How I'd like to bend a crowbar
over your thick skull!
820
01:01:43,355 --> 01:01:46,552
- That's enough of those kind of cracks.
- Leave me go, will you?
821
01:01:46,625 --> 01:01:49,992
Here, I don't have to take any guff
from you or any other brat.
822
01:01:50,062 --> 01:01:53,691
You been around here enough pestering
me. If you come back here again...
823
01:01:53,766 --> 01:01:57,964
I'll lay this across your nose so hard
I'll split it into toothpicks.
824
01:01:58,537 --> 01:02:01,028
And after this, stay clear of here.
825
01:02:27,366 --> 01:02:29,459
Come on, step on it, buddy.
826
01:02:35,007 --> 01:02:37,441
What are you stopping for? Get going.
827
01:02:37,509 --> 01:02:41,001
- Where do you think you're going?
- Anywhere. I just broke out of the can.
828
01:02:41,080 --> 01:02:44,072
But don't be worried.
They won't miss me till checkup at 6:00.
829
01:02:44,149 --> 01:02:45,377
We got two, three hours.
830
01:02:45,451 --> 01:02:46,941
- What's your name?
- Flip Bryer.
831
01:02:47,019 --> 01:02:49,647
- What were you in the can for?
- I had a gang.
832
01:02:49,722 --> 01:02:53,180
- You had a gang of what?
- Of guys. Good, tough guys.
833
01:02:53,259 --> 01:02:54,886
I was the leader.
834
01:02:55,995 --> 01:02:58,623
- You were the leader?
- Sure, I give the orders.
835
01:02:58,697 --> 01:03:01,723
I had it all set to stick up
a swell pawn shop...
836
01:03:01,800 --> 01:03:03,927
when some rat stooled on me.
837
01:03:04,270 --> 01:03:06,295
Where were your folks
when all this was going on?
838
01:03:06,372 --> 01:03:08,272
All I had was Grandpop.
839
01:03:08,874 --> 01:03:11,342
They didn't give you much of a chance,
I can see.
840
01:03:11,410 --> 01:03:14,106
But stickups at your age aren't so hot.
841
01:03:14,913 --> 01:03:16,881
- They never are.
- So what?
842
01:03:16,949 --> 01:03:19,281
Are you a man or a stool pigeon?
843
01:03:22,154 --> 01:03:24,622
- I'm no stool pigeon.
- All right then, step on it.
844
01:03:24,690 --> 01:03:26,555
Let's get out of here.
845
01:03:26,992 --> 01:03:28,823
Not so fast.
846
01:03:29,995 --> 01:03:32,691
If it was just myself,
I might take the chance.
847
01:03:32,765 --> 01:03:35,393
Who's holding you? Come on, get going.
848
01:03:35,701 --> 01:03:38,864
If they caught you, there'd be a jam.
It'd get in the papers.
849
01:03:38,937 --> 01:03:40,336
What's wrong with that?
850
01:03:40,406 --> 01:03:44,240
Dillinger and Pretty Boy Floyd
got their names in the papers plenty, too.
851
01:03:44,310 --> 01:03:45,504
Plenty.
852
01:03:45,944 --> 01:03:47,411
It wouldn't be right.
853
01:03:47,479 --> 01:03:51,313
They must feed you canary seed,
you're so yellow.
854
01:03:55,921 --> 01:03:58,253
Look, tell you what.
855
01:04:00,426 --> 01:04:03,224
I've got a good friend,
he can help you, see?
856
01:04:03,295 --> 01:04:05,320
You go back to the reformatory
for a week or two...
857
01:04:05,397 --> 01:04:08,457
You or nobody else
is gonna send me back there.
858
01:04:09,435 --> 01:04:11,232
See that? Them marks?
859
01:04:13,305 --> 01:04:16,866
You want me to get 20 lashes again?
Not me, brother.
860
01:04:16,942 --> 01:04:19,410
- Not Flip Bryer.
- They do that to you?
861
01:04:19,478 --> 01:04:22,879
Plenty times. Plenty.
And rub salt in afterwards.
862
01:04:22,948 --> 01:04:25,439
So, if you're scared,
I'll hop out and thumb a ride.
863
01:04:25,517 --> 01:04:28,384
- No.
- But I ain't going back there.
864
01:04:30,923 --> 01:04:32,185
No, you're not.
865
01:04:41,600 --> 01:04:43,932
Is this the dump where you flop?
866
01:04:46,271 --> 01:04:47,602
Hey, Flip...
867
01:04:48,507 --> 01:04:50,338
are you always as tough as this?
868
01:04:50,409 --> 01:04:55,176
Say, with the guys I hang out with,
you're either tough, or you're out of town.
869
01:04:55,714 --> 01:04:59,150
And I don't suppose it hurts any
in the reformatory, either?
870
01:04:59,218 --> 01:05:03,177
You bet it don't. If you turn soft in there,
you're a dead fish.
871
01:05:05,424 --> 01:05:06,584
I see.
872
01:05:06,925 --> 01:05:09,223
You certainly put on a swell act.
873
01:05:09,294 --> 01:05:12,559
If you think it's an act,
put them up and find out.
874
01:05:14,800 --> 01:05:17,667
Okay, so you're tough.
875
01:05:21,673 --> 01:05:22,799
What's that?
876
01:05:22,975 --> 01:05:25,569
Tommy-gun Tomcats. It's great.
877
01:05:25,644 --> 01:05:29,637
It's all about stickups and bank jobs
and shooting it out with the law.
878
01:05:29,715 --> 01:05:33,173
You can learn plenty from a book like this.
Plenty.
879
01:05:33,252 --> 01:05:35,186
Yeah, sure you can.
880
01:05:35,254 --> 01:05:38,519
How to get back to the reformatory,
and then to the penitentiary.
881
01:05:38,590 --> 01:05:41,684
Don't worry about me. I'm bad medicine.
882
01:05:41,827 --> 01:05:44,796
- I started bad and I'm gonna end bad.
- No.
883
01:05:45,164 --> 01:05:46,631
No, you're not.
884
01:05:46,698 --> 01:05:49,690
- There's no such thing as a bad boy.
- Baloney.
885
01:05:49,802 --> 01:05:52,032
Yeah, that's what I said once, too, but...
886
01:05:52,104 --> 01:05:54,595
- somebody taught me different.
- Who?
887
01:05:54,673 --> 01:05:57,039
A great guy. A priest.
888
01:05:57,309 --> 01:06:01,040
- A Holy Joe.
- You can't talk...
889
01:06:03,382 --> 01:06:04,713
Forget it.
890
01:06:04,983 --> 01:06:06,814
You know, I'd like to get you to a school...
891
01:06:06,885 --> 01:06:08,910
where there's no guards or fences
or punishment.
892
01:06:08,987 --> 01:06:11,512
What brand do you smoke, sweetheart?
893
01:06:16,662 --> 01:06:18,653
I'm going over to the house
for a few minutes.
894
01:06:18,730 --> 01:06:20,755
Now, don't poke your nose outside
till I get back.
895
01:06:20,833 --> 01:06:24,701
Go ahead, ankle out.
I gotta catch up on my reading.
896
01:06:25,604 --> 01:06:28,835
I'll be back in a few minutes
with something to eat.
897
01:06:28,907 --> 01:06:30,397
And some milk.
898
01:06:53,665 --> 01:06:55,394
There we are, Flip.
899
01:06:56,134 --> 01:06:57,226
Flip?
900
01:07:34,840 --> 01:07:37,138
Why, you bone-headed numbskull!
901
01:07:37,943 --> 01:07:41,470
Turned copper?
Fine business. I'll square this with you.
902
01:07:41,547 --> 01:07:43,242
- Why you...
- What's going on here?
903
01:07:43,315 --> 01:07:44,782
Nothing, mister.
904
01:07:44,850 --> 01:07:47,148
Okay, Flip. You don't have to do any more.
905
01:07:47,219 --> 01:07:49,847
You're initiated. You're in the club.
906
01:07:50,522 --> 01:07:52,888
I didn't think he'd have nerve enough
to get to the door even.
907
01:07:52,958 --> 01:07:56,325
What do you mean, nerve?
I got in here all it takes for anything.
908
01:07:56,395 --> 01:07:58,829
What do you know?
He's still putting on the act.
909
01:07:58,897 --> 01:08:01,832
- It don't seem like an act to me.
- He was being initiated.
910
01:08:01,900 --> 01:08:04,926
We thought he'd lose his nerve.
He sure surprised me.
911
01:08:05,003 --> 01:08:07,267
- Imagine what he would have done to me?
- Yeah.
912
01:08:07,339 --> 01:08:09,830
I've sure got to hand it to you.
You've got what it takes, Flip.
913
01:08:09,908 --> 01:08:12,069
Hope he didn't scare you too much.
914
01:08:16,515 --> 01:08:20,212
- What right you got, queering my racket?
- I'm only trying to keep you out of jail.
915
01:08:20,285 --> 01:08:22,776
Thanks for nothing.
After this, keep your own nose clean.
916
01:08:22,854 --> 01:08:24,219
- Understand?
- Sure, I understand.
917
01:08:24,289 --> 01:08:27,349
You're going to be up to your neck
in trouble unless I get you out of here.
918
01:08:27,426 --> 01:08:30,589
And I'm going to do
something about that tonight.
919
01:08:30,862 --> 01:08:32,193
No tricks.
920
01:08:35,701 --> 01:08:37,726
Sorry we bothered you. So long, mister.
921
01:08:42,574 --> 01:08:45,907
W9YDK. Come in, Whitey.
922
01:08:47,879 --> 01:08:52,339
W7BDF back to W9YDK.
I thought I'd find you on, Pee Wee.
923
01:08:52,417 --> 01:08:55,909
Listen, can you get Father Flanagan
to talk to me now? It's important.
924
01:08:55,988 --> 01:08:57,785
Not tonight, Whitey.
925
01:08:57,856 --> 01:09:01,587
He went in to Omaha.
He's got to make a speech or something.
926
01:09:02,027 --> 01:09:04,757
I'll ask him to talk tomorrow night though.
927
01:09:05,197 --> 01:09:09,429
Tomorrow morning. The first thing.
It's very important. Now, don't forget.
928
01:09:09,501 --> 01:09:11,492
I'll remember, all right.
929
01:09:12,904 --> 01:09:16,601
Go to bed. You're up awful late.
Good night, Pee Wee.
930
01:09:28,420 --> 01:09:30,183
What are you trying to hide? Money?
931
01:09:30,255 --> 01:09:32,883
If you don't ask questions,
you won't get answers.
932
01:09:32,958 --> 01:09:35,483
And if you don't get answers,
you'll never know anything...
933
01:09:35,560 --> 01:09:37,425
that'll hurt you, see?
934
01:09:38,163 --> 01:09:40,961
- Did you steal it?
- No, I won it in a crap game.
935
01:09:41,033 --> 01:09:43,797
- Crap game.
- So it was a poker game.
936
01:09:44,736 --> 01:09:47,830
- Come on. Give me the money.
- What do I look like, a chump?
937
01:09:47,906 --> 01:09:49,840
Give me the money
or I'll take it away from you!
938
01:09:49,908 --> 01:09:52,138
- Hijacking a pal.
- I'm going to give it back...
939
01:09:52,210 --> 01:09:55,407
- to whoever you took it away from.
- You and what regiment?
940
01:09:55,881 --> 01:09:58,907
Where'd you get it? Tell me!
941
01:09:59,017 --> 01:10:01,918
- A gas station.
- We're gonna take it right back now.
942
01:10:02,287 --> 01:10:04,687
A copper. A double-crossing copper.
943
01:10:04,756 --> 01:10:07,554
Why, I'll copper you.
944
01:10:27,612 --> 01:10:30,604
Pull over to the curb
and turn your lights on.
945
01:10:32,851 --> 01:10:35,046
Come on, get out of that car.
946
01:10:38,356 --> 01:10:39,345
Are these the ones?
947
01:10:39,424 --> 01:10:41,858
- That's them.
- The little one's him, all right.
948
01:10:41,927 --> 01:10:44,327
- Stuck a gun in my ribs, he did.
- How much you missing?
949
01:10:44,396 --> 01:10:45,886
- Eighty-eight dollars.
- Reach.
950
01:10:49,201 --> 01:10:51,726
It ought to be all here.
They haven't had time to spend any yet.
951
01:10:51,803 --> 01:10:53,202
- Here.
- Not yet. Evidence.
952
01:10:53,271 --> 01:10:54,602
He didn't cop that dough.
953
01:10:54,673 --> 01:10:56,903
He ain't got the nerve
to pull a job like that.
954
01:10:56,975 --> 01:10:59,170
Okay, baby face. You can straighten it out
with the judge.
955
01:10:59,244 --> 01:11:02,236
Don't listen to him. He likes to talk tough.
He had nothing to do with it.
956
01:11:02,314 --> 01:11:05,283
Anybody you want to pick up
before we go to the precinct?
957
01:11:05,350 --> 01:11:06,749
No. Nobody.
958
01:11:06,818 --> 01:11:09,810
Get in the car. We're going for a little ride.
959
01:11:10,655 --> 01:11:12,122
Come on, you.
960
01:11:12,891 --> 01:11:14,756
Come on, get in there.
961
01:11:19,431 --> 01:11:21,899
Hey, broadbeam, quit crowding.
962
01:11:29,441 --> 01:11:30,965
Straight ahead.
963
01:11:37,849 --> 01:11:39,976
You knew that he escaped
from the reformatory?
964
01:11:40,051 --> 01:11:41,109
Yes, sir.
965
01:11:41,186 --> 01:11:43,381
- And you had him living in your den?
- I did.
966
01:11:43,455 --> 01:11:46,185
- Good evening, Lieutenant.
- How do you do, Mr. Maitland?
967
01:11:46,258 --> 01:11:49,659
- How are you, Whitey?
- I'm sorry this had to happen, sir.
968
01:11:49,728 --> 01:11:52,925
I have the records
if you'd like to look at them.
969
01:11:52,998 --> 01:11:54,863
Whitey Marsh's brother.
970
01:11:54,933 --> 01:11:58,562
Reformatory, one trick in the penitentiary,
and then the chair.
971
01:11:58,637 --> 01:12:01,731
Yes, I knew about that.
Father Flanagan told me.
972
01:12:02,407 --> 01:12:04,568
And the little boy's record.
973
01:12:10,048 --> 01:12:13,506
- That baby?
- Hey, watch what you're saying.
974
01:12:14,486 --> 01:12:17,478
Associating with young criminals
of 14 and 16.
975
01:12:17,989 --> 01:12:19,217
Amazing.
976
01:12:20,358 --> 01:12:24,089
- Did you know about this?
- When he told me, I wouldn't listen to him.
977
01:12:24,162 --> 01:12:26,392
I just thought
he was shooting his mouth off.
978
01:12:26,464 --> 01:12:27,726
Oh, sure.
979
01:12:28,099 --> 01:12:30,431
All those reform school kids
stick together...
980
01:12:30,502 --> 01:12:32,367
just like their older brothers.
981
01:12:32,437 --> 01:12:34,632
I was never in reform school.
982
01:12:34,706 --> 01:12:37,937
- You were at Boys Town, weren't you?
- Boys Town isn't a reform school.
983
01:12:38,009 --> 01:12:40,034
It's as good as any school in the country.
Better.
984
01:12:40,111 --> 01:12:43,205
When a school's got a lot of kids in it
with criminal records...
985
01:12:43,281 --> 01:12:45,511
- it's reform school to me.
- You're a liar!
986
01:12:45,584 --> 01:12:47,848
Perhaps you'd better let me
talk to him alone.
987
01:12:47,919 --> 01:12:49,716
All right, sir. In there.
988
01:12:49,788 --> 01:12:51,221
- This way, Whitey.
- Yes, sir.
989
01:12:59,865 --> 01:13:03,562
He sure told you off.
How do you like them onions?
990
01:13:09,841 --> 01:13:11,934
Why didn't you tell me about the boy?
991
01:13:12,010 --> 01:13:14,205
Why, I wanted to keep you and Mrs...
992
01:13:14,279 --> 01:13:15,712
Mother, out of it.
993
01:13:15,780 --> 01:13:17,907
It's developed into quite a mess, Whitey.
994
01:13:17,983 --> 01:13:21,942
I tried to get Father Flanagan on the radio,
but he wasn't at Boys Town.
995
01:13:22,020 --> 01:13:24,284
You were going to ask Father Flanagan
for advice?
996
01:13:24,356 --> 01:13:25,846
Yes, sir. He'd know what to do.
997
01:13:25,924 --> 01:13:28,256
There isn't very much he could do,
or anyone else...
998
01:13:28,326 --> 01:13:30,590
for such an incorrigible little thief.
999
01:13:30,662 --> 01:13:33,529
- That young scamp is thoroughly bad.
- Oh, no, sir.
1000
01:13:33,598 --> 01:13:35,657
There is no such thing as a bad boy.
1001
01:13:35,734 --> 01:13:38,134
That, I suppose, is something you learned
from Father Flanagan.
1002
01:13:38,203 --> 01:13:40,171
Yes, sir.
That's why I was trying to help Flip.
1003
01:13:40,238 --> 01:13:42,263
You see,
I wanted to keep you out of it altogether.
1004
01:13:42,340 --> 01:13:44,968
I was going to handle it.
Just me and Father Flanagan.
1005
01:13:45,043 --> 01:13:48,877
That attitude is completely wrong
for any member of my family, Whitey.
1006
01:13:48,947 --> 01:13:52,110
You belong with me,
on the side of law and order.
1007
01:13:52,183 --> 01:13:54,777
You mean
that I shouldn't try to help people?
1008
01:13:54,853 --> 01:13:56,912
No, Whitey, that isn't what I mean.
1009
01:13:56,988 --> 01:13:59,047
But you should pick people worthy of help.
1010
01:13:59,124 --> 01:14:00,455
Nobody needs it more than Flip.
1011
01:14:00,525 --> 01:14:02,720
Why, he'll become a criminal
if they keep him in Marysport.
1012
01:14:02,794 --> 01:14:04,819
That's where he learned
about sticking people up.
1013
01:14:04,896 --> 01:14:06,887
The boy was born
with criminal tendencies.
1014
01:14:06,965 --> 01:14:09,331
- I won't believe that.
- You must.
1015
01:14:09,935 --> 01:14:12,768
After all, you should accept my standards.
1016
01:14:13,171 --> 01:14:16,732
And forget everything
that Father Flanagan has taught me?
1017
01:14:17,676 --> 01:14:22,238
Whitey, you have a strange idea that
yours is a mission to reform humanity.
1018
01:14:23,048 --> 01:14:27,178
That's wrong, as many of
Father Flanagan's ideas are equally wrong.
1019
01:14:28,086 --> 01:14:31,021
Don't you say anything
about Father Flanagan.
1020
01:14:31,356 --> 01:14:32,880
Don't you ever.
1021
01:14:37,862 --> 01:14:40,194
You did that all by yourself?
1022
01:14:40,265 --> 01:14:41,926
Come on, let's go.
1023
01:14:42,734 --> 01:14:45,931
- Where do you think you're going?
- Downstairs to my cell.
1024
01:14:46,004 --> 01:14:49,701
But we can only keep one houseguest
and that's the big boss, not you.
1025
01:14:49,774 --> 01:14:52,675
You can't do that to me.
I got a right to a cell.
1026
01:14:52,744 --> 01:14:54,837
I'm the real boss. I did all the work.
1027
01:14:54,913 --> 01:14:58,440
You ain't going to make me no softie
sitting around here with a bunch of bulls.
1028
01:14:58,516 --> 01:15:01,246
Sling me into a cell.
I can do time standing on my head.
1029
01:15:01,319 --> 01:15:03,787
Now, look,
you're going to do time right here...
1030
01:15:03,855 --> 01:15:06,688
until the bus comes to take you back
to the reform school.
1031
01:15:06,758 --> 01:15:09,124
- Joe, get the kid a glass of milk.
- Yes, sir.
1032
01:15:09,194 --> 01:15:10,491
Hot milk.
1033
01:15:21,606 --> 01:15:24,268
- How does it look?
- Dark. Very dark.
1034
01:15:24,809 --> 01:15:28,438
- Whitey's story is difficult to believe.
- That's terrible.
1035
01:15:28,913 --> 01:15:30,904
Don't you think
that my being on the parole board...
1036
01:15:30,982 --> 01:15:34,918
No, dear, he's the one boy
you can't possibly use your influence for.
1037
01:15:34,986 --> 01:15:36,817
We've got to do something.
1038
01:15:36,888 --> 01:15:39,789
I'm afraid Whitey's in the position
of the general's son...
1039
01:15:39,858 --> 01:15:41,758
he'll have to face the music.
1040
01:16:03,381 --> 01:16:05,872
All out. Come on, follow me.
1041
01:16:13,892 --> 01:16:15,655
Hey, what's that?
1042
01:16:17,762 --> 01:16:19,662
Duck waddle. Punishment.
1043
01:16:19,731 --> 01:16:23,258
- Yeah? How long do they keep it up?
- Till they drop.
1044
01:16:23,334 --> 01:16:25,632
Here, what's all the gab about?
1045
01:16:26,337 --> 01:16:28,897
Well, if it ain't fancy-pants.
1046
01:16:29,174 --> 01:16:33,838
Helped the kid get away, didn't you?
And got me fined three days' pay.
1047
01:16:41,152 --> 01:16:43,484
If you didn't have that club...
1048
01:16:43,855 --> 01:16:45,413
This is elegant.
1049
01:16:51,830 --> 01:16:53,024
Get up!
1050
01:17:01,106 --> 01:17:03,097
Here, fall in there, you.
1051
01:17:03,508 --> 01:17:06,568
We'll start cutting you down to size
right now.
1052
01:17:09,481 --> 01:17:13,008
- Flip, where's Miles Fenely?
- In solitary.
1053
01:17:13,084 --> 01:17:14,984
Watch out for the guard, he's tough.
1054
01:17:15,053 --> 01:17:19,217
Sure, he's tough in here with plenty of
other guards and clubs to back him up.
1055
01:17:19,290 --> 01:17:20,314
Jiggers.
1056
01:17:20,391 --> 01:17:21,483
Halt!
1057
01:17:22,160 --> 01:17:24,720
- What were you saying?
- I was talking to myself.
1058
01:17:24,796 --> 01:17:28,288
Well, quit talking to yourself.
Quit thinking to yourself, remember that.
1059
01:17:28,366 --> 01:17:31,335
Around here we don't tell anybody
anything twice.
1060
01:17:31,402 --> 01:17:33,267
All right, get moving!
1061
01:17:34,339 --> 01:17:37,001
You know, Whitey ain't so bad
when you get to know him.
1062
01:17:37,075 --> 01:17:39,270
Of course,
he's got a little stool pigeon in him...
1063
01:17:39,344 --> 01:17:41,642
but after he's done some time
he'll get over that.
1064
01:17:41,713 --> 01:17:43,044
Jiggers.
1065
01:17:55,560 --> 01:17:57,721
Still the wise guy, ain't you?
1066
01:17:57,795 --> 01:17:59,626
No, I'm no wise guy.
1067
01:18:03,735 --> 01:18:05,327
Hey, lay off me.
1068
01:18:07,572 --> 01:18:10,132
Say, why don't you pick on someone
your own size?
1069
01:18:10,208 --> 01:18:12,301
I've been waiting for this.
1070
01:18:38,403 --> 01:18:40,394
You can talk all you want to in here.
1071
01:18:40,471 --> 01:18:43,304
Shout your head off.
Nobody will ever hear you.
1072
01:18:44,676 --> 01:18:46,769
Whitey, I'm scared.
1073
01:18:52,083 --> 01:18:54,415
It's Fenely, Miles Fenely!
1074
01:18:59,591 --> 01:19:02,059
This kid's hurt. He's dead.
1075
01:19:02,393 --> 01:19:04,486
They beat him and beat him.
1076
01:19:07,966 --> 01:19:10,434
You kids ain't seen nothing, I tell you.
1077
01:19:10,501 --> 01:19:13,095
He's dead. That's what he is, dead.
1078
01:19:13,571 --> 01:19:15,198
You killed him.
1079
01:19:15,273 --> 01:19:16,865
You're only imagining things.
1080
01:19:16,941 --> 01:19:20,138
Kids always think they see something
when they first come in here.
1081
01:19:20,211 --> 01:19:23,203
I saw it, I tell you. I can still see it.
1082
01:19:23,281 --> 01:19:26,808
We'll go to the Superintendent.
He'll convince you, you're wrong.
1083
01:19:26,884 --> 01:19:28,977
You're just seeing shadows.
1084
01:19:29,754 --> 01:19:31,153
You killed him.
1085
01:19:31,522 --> 01:19:35,856
Yes, that's too bad about Fenely.
But he always did have a weak heart.
1086
01:19:35,927 --> 01:19:38,054
You know he didn't. He was beaten up.
1087
01:19:38,129 --> 01:19:40,324
The doctor reported heart failure,
didn't he?
1088
01:19:40,398 --> 01:19:42,593
That's right. Signed the death certificate.
1089
01:19:42,667 --> 01:19:45,101
- You must have been imagining things.
- No, I wasn't.
1090
01:19:45,169 --> 01:19:46,295
Or seeing shadows.
1091
01:19:46,371 --> 01:19:48,896
Fenely was dead for hours, poor boy.
1092
01:19:49,073 --> 01:19:51,041
You know what happened to him.
1093
01:19:51,109 --> 01:19:54,101
I saw him beat up, all right! I saw him.
1094
01:19:54,779 --> 01:19:58,340
Now, look, Whitey.
You seem to be an intelligent boy.
1095
01:19:58,716 --> 01:20:01,879
I could use you doing clerical work
in my office.
1096
01:20:02,453 --> 01:20:04,853
No, you don't. That boy was beaten up.
1097
01:20:04,922 --> 01:20:08,551
You're smart enough to take
a doctor's report about how he died.
1098
01:20:08,626 --> 01:20:11,254
You've got the doctors bulldozed, too.
1099
01:20:11,429 --> 01:20:15,229
Things can be easy for an inmate here,
or very tough...
1100
01:20:15,800 --> 01:20:17,665
just as he makes them himself.
1101
01:20:17,735 --> 01:20:21,262
I saw him keel over, and you can't talk me
out of it, you can't buy me off.
1102
01:20:21,339 --> 01:20:22,670
Take him back to solitary.
1103
01:20:22,740 --> 01:20:25,072
Think it over, all by yourself.
1104
01:20:25,143 --> 01:20:28,738
And when you realize that
you've been seeing things, send me word.
1105
01:20:28,813 --> 01:20:29,871
Come on.
1106
01:20:29,947 --> 01:20:32,108
Flip. I want to talk to you some more.
1107
01:20:32,183 --> 01:20:35,311
You're just covering up,
trying to keep it quiet to save your job.
1108
01:20:35,386 --> 01:20:37,650
Trying to scare Flip into lying.
Well, you can't scare me!
1109
01:20:37,722 --> 01:20:40,555
- Do you hear that? You can't scare me.
- Take him away.
1110
01:20:41,993 --> 01:20:43,324
Now, Flip.
1111
01:20:54,272 --> 01:20:56,137
I'd like to see Whitey Marsh.
1112
01:20:56,207 --> 01:20:58,141
- Got a pass?
- No, I haven't.
1113
01:20:58,209 --> 01:21:01,178
You can't go in then.
The rules call for a pass.
1114
01:21:01,245 --> 01:21:05,204
- Well, where can I get a pass?
- The Superintendent, I guess.
1115
01:21:05,283 --> 01:21:07,751
Well, then,
I'd like to see the Superintendent.
1116
01:21:07,819 --> 01:21:10,344
He ain't seeing anybody just now.
1117
01:21:10,421 --> 01:21:13,982
- When does he see people?
- Well, now, that's hard to say.
1118
01:21:16,127 --> 01:21:18,789
- You'd better let me see him.
- I can't.
1119
01:21:19,097 --> 01:21:22,396
- Why not?
- He's away on vacation.
1120
01:21:25,770 --> 01:21:27,863
I want to see Whitey Marsh.
1121
01:21:28,806 --> 01:21:31,536
I said I want to see Whitey Marsh.
1122
01:21:33,945 --> 01:21:36,709
- Who did you say?
- Whitey Marsh.
1123
01:21:45,490 --> 01:21:48,357
I don't care what he's in,
I want to see Whitey Marsh.
1124
01:21:48,426 --> 01:21:51,884
I'm telling you, he's in solitary.
Nobody can see him.
1125
01:21:51,963 --> 01:21:56,229
And I'm telling you, and I'm telling you
for the last time, I want to see him.
1126
01:21:56,300 --> 01:22:00,202
If you was the President... He's in solitary.
Nobody can see him.
1127
01:22:00,905 --> 01:22:05,342
And if you had that collar turned around,
I'd convince you pretty quick.
1128
01:22:18,055 --> 01:22:20,717
I told you I want to see Whitey Marsh.
1129
01:22:22,059 --> 01:22:23,151
Okay.
1130
01:22:49,086 --> 01:22:52,453
- I came as soon as I heard, Whitey.
- I knew you would, Father.
1131
01:22:52,523 --> 01:22:53,922
How did all this happen?
1132
01:22:53,991 --> 01:22:55,982
Well, there was a kid.
He thought he was tough.
1133
01:22:56,060 --> 01:22:58,756
His name was Flip Bryer,
and I tried to help him.
1134
01:22:58,830 --> 01:23:00,058
There's no crime in that.
1135
01:23:00,131 --> 01:23:02,497
Yeah, but I didn't want to drag
Mr. and Mrs. Maitland into it.
1136
01:23:02,567 --> 01:23:05,934
- They've been so good to me, in a way.
- Sure. I know.
1137
01:23:06,003 --> 01:23:08,938
Well, this kid had my gun,
he got it out of my den.
1138
01:23:09,006 --> 01:23:12,237
He had it at the pawn shop,
he'd already held up the gas station...
1139
01:23:12,310 --> 01:23:14,335
and I had the money on me.
1140
01:23:14,912 --> 01:23:19,246
Well, you certainly fixed yourself up right
while you were about it, didn't you?
1141
01:23:19,350 --> 01:23:21,944
Yeah, I didn't do any credit to you
or Boys Town...
1142
01:23:22,019 --> 01:23:24,715
getting it in the papers and everything.
1143
01:23:24,989 --> 01:23:27,355
I don't blame you if you're sore at me,
Father.
1144
01:23:27,425 --> 01:23:29,552
Why should I be sore at you?
1145
01:23:29,627 --> 01:23:31,822
On the contrary, I'm proud of you.
1146
01:23:31,896 --> 01:23:33,796
If you had turned your back on that boy...
1147
01:23:33,865 --> 01:23:35,958
if you had played safe
and ignored the plea for help...
1148
01:23:36,033 --> 01:23:38,433
I'd have been ashamed of you,
but you didn't.
1149
01:23:38,503 --> 01:23:40,300
You may not have been wise, Whitey...
1150
01:23:40,371 --> 01:23:43,738
but you certainly lived up
to the best teachings of Boys Town.
1151
01:23:43,808 --> 01:23:46,038
Then you're not ashamed of me?
1152
01:23:46,644 --> 01:23:49,738
I'm prouder of you
than any boy I've ever known.
1153
01:23:50,081 --> 01:23:52,049
Gee, you're a great guy.
1154
01:23:54,585 --> 01:23:57,748
I think this is about enough
of the mutual admiration, don't you?
1155
01:23:57,822 --> 01:23:58,811
Yeah.
1156
01:23:58,890 --> 01:24:00,983
- Yeah, let's see what we can do for Flip.
- Yeah.
1157
01:24:04,095 --> 01:24:07,064
Mrs. Fenely's inside.
She wants to see you.
1158
01:24:07,131 --> 01:24:09,622
- How is she?
- Taking it hard.
1159
01:24:09,700 --> 01:24:10,997
No wonder.
1160
01:24:11,068 --> 01:24:14,731
I thought that maybe...
Well, a man of your cloth...
1161
01:24:14,805 --> 01:24:17,433
Perhaps you could talk to her, Father.
1162
01:24:19,210 --> 01:24:23,203
Get Whitey and Flip ready.
I'm taking them over to see the Judge.
1163
01:24:23,281 --> 01:24:25,146
All right. Come on.
1164
01:24:47,672 --> 01:24:50,698
I heard you were here, Father.
I just had to see you.
1165
01:24:50,775 --> 01:24:53,972
This horrible place,
it must be wiped out, Father.
1166
01:24:54,478 --> 01:24:57,208
You must stay here and help wipe it out.
1167
01:24:58,249 --> 01:25:01,343
Then I'll know that my boy went
for some reason.
1168
01:25:02,253 --> 01:25:04,050
You'll do it, Father?
1169
01:25:04,455 --> 01:25:07,913
You won't leave Marysport
till you've done it, promise?
1170
01:25:10,127 --> 01:25:13,096
Well, I'm needed at Boys Town at present.
1171
01:25:13,798 --> 01:25:15,595
- A promise l...
- No, no.
1172
01:25:15,666 --> 01:25:19,033
If you go, something else,
there'll be something else.
1173
01:25:19,737 --> 01:25:23,332
You must help the boys here, Father.
You must.
1174
01:25:30,881 --> 01:25:34,612
I have learned that boys
have an inflexible sense of honor.
1175
01:25:35,052 --> 01:25:37,577
And that they never betray a trust.
1176
01:25:38,022 --> 01:25:41,458
Give them confidence
and they will return you loyalty.
1177
01:25:42,727 --> 01:25:46,128
And that is why this system
of punishment for boys is wrong.
1178
01:25:46,197 --> 01:25:48,461
It's based upon the wrong principle.
1179
01:25:48,532 --> 01:25:51,467
It's based upon suspicion
rather than belief.
1180
01:25:51,769 --> 01:25:54,704
There is no redemption for youth
in the lash.
1181
01:25:55,306 --> 01:25:57,774
There is no healing of the wounded spirit...
1182
01:25:57,842 --> 01:26:01,107
in lonely confinement in a cell
on bread and water.
1183
01:26:01,312 --> 01:26:04,304
Such institutions
cannot bring about reform.
1184
01:26:04,949 --> 01:26:09,818
They feed their victims on the poison
of revenge, on the red lore of criminality.
1185
01:26:10,021 --> 01:26:14,151
They turn out youths who are resolved
to take vengeance on society.
1186
01:26:15,559 --> 01:26:18,027
Such misnamed reform schools...
1187
01:26:18,095 --> 01:26:20,825
which are really prisons for boys...
1188
01:26:20,898 --> 01:26:23,332
should be wiped out of existence!
1189
01:26:27,238 --> 01:26:29,866
Father, this now paroles Flip
into your custody.
1190
01:26:29,940 --> 01:26:31,237
Thank you, Your Honor.
1191
01:26:31,308 --> 01:26:34,471
You can go back to Boys Town
proud of the work you've started here.
1192
01:26:34,545 --> 01:26:37,639
- I promise you we'll carry it on.
- Well, I am proud of the work.
1193
01:26:37,715 --> 01:26:40,775
It's a crusade that must be stirred
in every section of the country.
1194
01:26:40,851 --> 01:26:43,649
- We'll keep it going here, Father.
- I'm sure you will.
1195
01:26:43,721 --> 01:26:46,884
Whitey, are you still determined
to go back to Boys Town?
1196
01:26:46,957 --> 01:26:48,083
Yes, sir, I am.
1197
01:26:48,159 --> 01:26:49,524
But think, Whitey...
1198
01:26:49,593 --> 01:26:53,962
do you want to give up golf and tennis
and your car, and everything?
1199
01:26:54,632 --> 01:26:57,931
I want to be with Father Flanagan,
Mother... Ma'am.
1200
01:27:00,938 --> 01:27:03,930
Well, thanks again. Goodbye. Thank you.
1201
01:27:08,813 --> 01:27:12,180
Dave, my boy, there's a great decency
inherent in the human race.
1202
01:27:12,249 --> 01:27:14,911
Well, I'm glad to hear you think so.
Personally, I've got my doubts.
1203
01:27:14,985 --> 01:27:16,953
Dave,
the people of Marysport are aroused.
1204
01:27:17,021 --> 01:27:19,012
There'll be a Boys Town there
one of these days...
1205
01:27:19,090 --> 01:27:20,717
and that's a start, Dave, a great start.
1206
01:27:20,791 --> 01:27:23,385
So that's where you were all this time,
starting another Boys Town.
1207
01:27:23,461 --> 01:27:27,192
- Trying to. What about you?
- Me? I've been trying to keep one open.
1208
01:27:27,264 --> 01:27:29,630
Now, Dave, no mountains, just molehills.
1209
01:27:29,700 --> 01:27:31,725
I'm going to run over
and have a little talk with Ted.
1210
01:27:31,802 --> 01:27:34,930
You're not going to find him very talkative,
Eddie.
1211
01:27:35,005 --> 01:27:37,667
Why, you wired me
that the operation was successful.
1212
01:27:37,742 --> 01:27:40,438
- The surgery was.
- Then what went wrong?
1213
01:27:41,312 --> 01:27:44,213
- You, Eddie, you.
- Me?
1214
01:27:45,015 --> 01:27:47,415
You promised the boy you'd be here.
1215
01:27:47,485 --> 01:27:50,352
Well, I know, but I had to stay
at Marysport, Dave.
1216
01:27:50,421 --> 01:27:52,616
It meant so much to so many boys.
1217
01:27:52,690 --> 01:27:55,022
It meant a lot to this boy, too.
1218
01:27:55,993 --> 01:27:59,190
Come on,
I'll walk down to the infirmary with you.
1219
01:28:01,532 --> 01:28:03,124
- Father.
- Sister.
1220
01:28:05,136 --> 01:28:06,899
Well, Ted, I'm back.
1221
01:28:09,573 --> 01:28:13,737
I had to help another boy, Ted.
As a matter of fact, a lot of boys.
1222
01:28:15,312 --> 01:28:16,904
Ted, look at me.
1223
01:28:18,582 --> 01:28:22,040
Don't you know that I wanted to be here
with you, Ted?
1224
01:28:23,020 --> 01:28:24,385
Please try.
1225
01:28:24,989 --> 01:28:26,616
Please have faith, Ted.
1226
01:28:26,690 --> 01:28:29,784
I promise you
that everything will be all right.
1227
01:28:30,861 --> 01:28:32,226
Please try.
1228
01:28:52,216 --> 01:28:55,379
That's the works, Eddie.
The court has shut down.
1229
01:28:55,920 --> 01:28:56,978
Yes.
1230
01:28:59,723 --> 01:29:02,817
I tried to get the bank
to put me on the cuff...
1231
01:29:03,127 --> 01:29:05,561
but my cuff is too frayed, Eddie.
1232
01:29:05,963 --> 01:29:09,330
You did your best, Dave.
That's what I expect of you.
1233
01:29:10,167 --> 01:29:14,001
That's what I expect of you, too, Eddie,
the best you can do.
1234
01:29:14,071 --> 01:29:16,301
But this time I didn't get it.
1235
01:29:16,507 --> 01:29:17,667
I see.
1236
01:29:18,175 --> 01:29:21,542
I warned you not to go dreaming
about 250 Boys Towns...
1237
01:29:21,612 --> 01:29:24,342
when you didn't have one all fixed yet.
1238
01:29:24,481 --> 01:29:27,177
I couldn't refuse a cry for help, Dave.
1239
01:29:27,852 --> 01:29:30,320
When you're trying to save someone
from drowning...
1240
01:29:30,387 --> 01:29:32,514
you've got to concentrate on him.
1241
01:29:32,590 --> 01:29:34,683
If you help too many, you lose them all.
1242
01:29:34,758 --> 01:29:37,989
Maybe hopping about all over the ocean
proves what a great swimmer you are...
1243
01:29:38,062 --> 01:29:41,190
but it isn't helping the poor guy
that's going down for the third time.
1244
01:29:41,265 --> 01:29:42,630
You're right, Dave.
1245
01:29:42,700 --> 01:29:47,000
What I wouldn't give to be wrong.
Just 10 years off my life, that's all.
1246
01:29:47,071 --> 01:29:50,097
- I was thinking, Father...
- Yes, Pee Wee?
1247
01:29:51,108 --> 01:29:53,906
- I was wondering...
- Yes, Pee Wee, what is it?
1248
01:29:54,245 --> 01:29:56,270
I've been holding out on you.
1249
01:29:57,414 --> 01:29:59,712
Oh, well, we'll both overlook it.
1250
01:29:59,783 --> 01:30:02,115
I won $5 in the Soapies Contest.
1251
01:30:02,219 --> 01:30:04,449
It was a consternation prize.
1252
01:30:04,889 --> 01:30:08,757
- A consolation prize.
- Yeah, a consternation prize.
1253
01:30:09,426 --> 01:30:13,021
I was going to buy you and Whitey
something for Christmas.
1254
01:30:13,097 --> 01:30:15,691
But Boys Town needs it more. Here.
1255
01:30:26,777 --> 01:30:28,802
The wormwood and the gall.
1256
01:30:33,150 --> 01:30:36,244
- Wanna play a game?
- I don't play with children.
1257
01:30:36,520 --> 01:30:38,249
Drift away, infant.
1258
01:30:39,089 --> 01:30:40,750
It's a good game.
1259
01:30:40,824 --> 01:30:45,022
I never felt my knuckles itch
like they do right now.
1260
01:30:46,563 --> 01:30:50,124
It's candy. You guess what pocket it's in
and you get to keep it.
1261
01:30:50,200 --> 01:30:51,497
Oh, I do?
1262
01:30:52,236 --> 01:30:53,533
That one.
1263
01:30:56,440 --> 01:30:59,136
And that one and that one and that one.
1264
01:31:01,645 --> 01:31:04,512
Talk about taking candy from a baby.
1265
01:31:05,082 --> 01:31:09,280
Where I come from, Curly Locks,
we play that game for eating tobacco.
1266
01:31:21,765 --> 01:31:23,733
- Mr. Morris.
- Yes, Whitey?
1267
01:31:24,535 --> 01:31:27,732
What's the matter with Father Flanagan?
He looks awfully worried.
1268
01:31:27,805 --> 01:31:31,832
- Well, he's been worried before.
- But not the way he is now.
1269
01:31:31,909 --> 01:31:34,605
I guess you and I are two people
he can't fool.
1270
01:31:34,678 --> 01:31:37,511
Since he came home,
he looks like he lost his best friend.
1271
01:31:37,581 --> 01:31:40,049
Whitey, I guess you're the only one
who's got a right to know.
1272
01:31:40,117 --> 01:31:42,176
He's come pretty close
to losing Boys Town.
1273
01:31:42,252 --> 01:31:44,277
But he can't lose Boys Town.
They can't do that to him.
1274
01:31:44,355 --> 01:31:46,186
He's never done anything wrong in his life.
1275
01:31:46,256 --> 01:31:48,281
Sometimes you can be wrong
without doing it.
1276
01:31:48,359 --> 01:31:49,383
How?
1277
01:31:49,460 --> 01:31:51,894
Like counting too much on other people...
1278
01:31:51,962 --> 01:31:54,760
thinking you can do too much by yourself.
1279
01:31:55,632 --> 01:31:58,829
- It's the money, isn't it?
- It's a big part of it.
1280
01:31:59,169 --> 01:32:02,730
Did my not staying with the Maitlands,
I mean, was he counting on them...
1281
01:32:02,806 --> 01:32:05,969
Well, the Maitlands
might have helped Boys Town...
1282
01:32:06,410 --> 01:32:08,742
but then again, they might not.
1283
01:32:09,480 --> 01:32:11,209
Thanks, Mr. Morris.
1284
01:32:12,449 --> 01:32:14,041
Mr. Maitland, Father...
1285
01:32:14,118 --> 01:32:16,609
I wanna come back home
and live with you.
1286
01:32:16,687 --> 01:32:19,417
This is quite a change in your attitude.
1287
01:32:19,490 --> 01:32:22,857
I know, but I've had a chance
to think it over since then.
1288
01:32:22,926 --> 01:32:24,860
And what have you thought?
1289
01:32:24,928 --> 01:32:27,158
About playing golf with you...
1290
01:32:27,564 --> 01:32:29,464
and tennis, and my car.
1291
01:32:29,967 --> 01:32:31,434
And your car?
1292
01:32:31,502 --> 01:32:33,970
And Mother, and all the kids at school.
1293
01:32:34,038 --> 01:32:37,235
If you'll only take me back,
I'll do anything you want me to.
1294
01:32:37,307 --> 01:32:39,673
I'll be around every minute. Honest, I will.
1295
01:32:39,743 --> 01:32:42,906
What's become of your devotion
to Father Flanagan?
1296
01:32:42,980 --> 01:32:45,881
Well, things aren'tquite the same here now.
1297
01:32:46,417 --> 01:32:50,376
I didn't realize how great it was with you.
What a fine chance I had.
1298
01:32:50,454 --> 01:32:52,581
If you'll only take me back.
1299
01:32:52,990 --> 01:32:57,120
You change your mind very rapidly,Whitey. It's a quality I don't admire.
1300
01:32:57,194 --> 01:33:00,493
I won't change it again, honest I won't.
On my word.
1301
01:33:00,864 --> 01:33:03,128
No, Whitey, you made your decision.
1302
01:33:03,200 --> 01:33:05,930
I think it's best to let matters rest
just as they are.
1303
01:33:06,003 --> 01:33:07,231
Good night.
1304
01:33:07,304 --> 01:33:09,499
Mr. Maitland, don't go. Wait!
1305
01:33:11,942 --> 01:33:13,534
You're taking over Boys Town.
1306
01:33:13,610 --> 01:33:16,636
Oh, well, now, you'll stay on in charge,
of course.
1307
01:33:16,713 --> 01:33:18,840
In charge of my own failure.
1308
01:33:22,886 --> 01:33:27,721
Eddie, in five years, maybe, 10, anyway...
1309
01:33:28,992 --> 01:33:31,324
we'll be free and clear of debt.
1310
01:33:32,196 --> 01:33:34,858
You'll have Boys Town back like it was.
1311
01:33:48,278 --> 01:33:52,408
- Somebody will have to tell the boys.
- I'll do that for you, Eddie.
1312
01:33:53,517 --> 01:33:55,280
No, Dave, thank you.
1313
01:33:56,854 --> 01:33:59,948
- Yes, Father?
- Have the bugler blow Assembly.
1314
01:34:00,190 --> 01:34:01,589
Yes, Father.
1315
01:34:04,261 --> 01:34:08,061
If you don't think I've been hoping
for some miracle for you...
1316
01:34:09,700 --> 01:34:12,635
Miracles only come
to those who deserve them.
1317
01:34:27,751 --> 01:34:28,945
Boys...
1318
01:34:29,653 --> 01:34:31,120
this place...
1319
01:34:31,922 --> 01:34:33,287
Boys Town...
1320
01:34:34,424 --> 01:34:36,153
was my first dream.
1321
01:34:36,927 --> 01:34:39,191
It has been a dream come true.
1322
01:34:39,530 --> 01:34:41,794
It has made many boys happy.
1323
01:34:41,865 --> 01:34:44,766
More than 4,000 boys
have gone through here.
1324
01:34:46,270 --> 01:34:49,899
And gone out into the world
to become good citizens.
1325
01:34:51,275 --> 01:34:53,766
Not one of them has failed me.
1326
01:34:54,144 --> 01:34:55,475
Not one...
1327
01:34:56,246 --> 01:34:58,146
of all those thousands.
1328
01:34:58,882 --> 01:35:03,080
No one has ever failed Boys Town, ever.
1329
01:35:05,923 --> 01:35:07,254
Until now.
1330
01:35:09,860 --> 01:35:11,191
And now...
1331
01:35:12,196 --> 01:35:13,993
the failure is here.
1332
01:35:15,098 --> 01:35:17,259
Someone has failed Boys Town.
1333
01:35:19,036 --> 01:35:20,503
Failed badly.
1334
01:35:21,338 --> 01:35:22,600
Horribly.
1335
01:35:27,644 --> 01:35:29,009
Bohunk!
1336
01:35:36,787 --> 01:35:37,981
Bohunk?
1337
01:35:49,933 --> 01:35:51,662
That big old skunk.
1338
01:35:52,536 --> 01:35:54,902
Why couldn't he look where he was going?
1339
01:35:54,972 --> 01:35:58,635
Well, he couldn't see him, Pee Wee,
it's around a curve.
1340
01:35:58,909 --> 01:36:00,934
I didn't even see the dog.
1341
01:36:01,078 --> 01:36:03,603
He must've run under my rear wheels.
1342
01:36:03,814 --> 01:36:06,339
- I'm sorry for it.
- That's all right.
1343
01:36:10,287 --> 01:36:12,619
I didn't go up to take him out.
1344
01:36:13,590 --> 01:36:16,616
That's why it happened. I forgot.
1345
01:36:18,428 --> 01:36:21,795
He got out without his leash.
1346
01:36:25,002 --> 01:36:27,732
Pee Wee, a dog has to run free sometimes.
1347
01:36:28,338 --> 01:36:31,330
You can't keep anyone on a leash
all the time.
1348
01:36:34,911 --> 01:36:37,004
Whitey, you and the boys...
1349
01:36:37,614 --> 01:36:41,141
go over and dig a grave for Bohunk,
over there by the statue.
1350
01:36:41,218 --> 01:36:42,617
Yes, Father.
1351
01:36:43,553 --> 01:36:45,282
And you help Whitey.
1352
01:37:10,347 --> 01:37:11,871
Where's Bohunk?
1353
01:37:13,784 --> 01:37:17,515
Ted, you've stood so much pain,
do you think you could stand a lot more?
1354
01:37:17,587 --> 01:37:20,454
Why doesn't somebody else
have to stand it?
1355
01:37:21,191 --> 01:37:24,092
Everybody does have to go through pain,
Ted.
1356
01:37:25,028 --> 01:37:27,963
Some seem to have more to endure
than others.
1357
01:37:28,098 --> 01:37:29,998
And you're one of them.
1358
01:37:30,300 --> 01:37:31,562
And I...
1359
01:37:31,802 --> 01:37:36,102
I can't tell you why, either,
unless it's that suffering seems to...
1360
01:37:37,007 --> 01:37:39,805
forge such a fine man, that in the end...
1361
01:37:40,977 --> 01:37:43,275
you'll be better than the rest of us.
1362
01:37:43,347 --> 01:37:44,939
No more doctors?
1363
01:37:48,118 --> 01:37:51,485
Ted, I'm going to let you have it
square on the chin.
1364
01:37:51,555 --> 01:37:53,682
But I think you can take it.
1365
01:37:58,695 --> 01:38:00,993
Bohunk was run over by a truck.
1366
01:38:01,098 --> 01:38:04,499
The boys are burying him.
I thought you'd like to go.
1367
01:38:04,668 --> 01:38:07,102
Bohunk, dead?
1368
01:38:53,950 --> 01:38:55,383
Put me down.
1369
01:39:52,542 --> 01:39:55,306
We're all saying goodbye to you, Bohunk.
1370
01:39:56,680 --> 01:39:59,581
You're the only one
who could make a fellow smile...
1371
01:39:59,649 --> 01:40:02,243
that had been kicked around too much.
1372
01:40:02,586 --> 01:40:05,714
You did your job, and you did it well.
1373
01:40:06,990 --> 01:40:10,824
We all loved you, and we always will.
1374
01:41:01,444 --> 01:41:03,776
That's enough for now, huh, Ted?
1375
01:41:04,748 --> 01:41:05,874
Yeah.
1376
01:41:06,416 --> 01:41:10,284
Take me back now, Father.
I'll try some more tomorrow.
1377
01:41:27,671 --> 01:41:29,263
Sit down, Eddie.
1378
01:41:31,575 --> 01:41:34,408
Father, did you know that
Whitey wanted to come back with us?
1379
01:41:34,477 --> 01:41:37,310
No, he didn't say anything to me about it.
1380
01:41:37,847 --> 01:41:40,543
- I forgot.
- You're not usually forgetful.
1381
01:41:40,617 --> 01:41:43,017
Well, he spoke to me over the radio.
1382
01:41:43,086 --> 01:41:47,489
He told me the worst, most bare-faced
collection of lies I've ever heard in my life.
1383
01:41:47,557 --> 01:41:48,649
Lies?
1384
01:41:49,659 --> 01:41:51,718
What's come over you, Whitey?
1385
01:41:51,795 --> 01:41:54,286
I guess, I'm just naturally bad, Father.
1386
01:41:54,364 --> 01:41:55,854
That's not fair.
1387
01:41:55,932 --> 01:42:00,096
Whitey was really offering himself to us
as a hostage for Boys Town.
1388
01:42:00,170 --> 01:42:02,434
Yes, when I had a chance to think it over...
1389
01:42:02,505 --> 01:42:06,134
I realized that
Whitey was selling himself down the river.
1390
01:42:06,943 --> 01:42:09,036
- Whitey.
- Yes, Father?
1391
01:42:11,881 --> 01:42:15,248
- Did you want to do this for me?
- No, not particularly. I guess...
1392
01:42:15,318 --> 01:42:17,684
He did it because he knew
you were in trouble.
1393
01:42:17,754 --> 01:42:20,154
Trouble? That's a mild word for it.
1394
01:42:20,457 --> 01:42:22,857
As Dave says, we're out of business.
1395
01:42:22,926 --> 01:42:24,393
No, you are not.
1396
01:42:24,461 --> 01:42:27,294
Any place that can inspire loyalty
like Whitey's...
1397
01:42:27,364 --> 01:42:29,059
faith like Ted's...
1398
01:42:29,132 --> 01:42:32,431
a friendship as fine as Dave's,
mustn't go out of business.
1399
01:42:32,502 --> 01:42:35,699
I know that Dave has gone
half as deep as Boys Town...
1400
01:42:35,772 --> 01:42:40,368
but we'll put our heads together and find
some way to pull both of them out.
1401
01:42:41,144 --> 01:42:42,475
Thank you.
1402
01:42:44,681 --> 01:42:47,775
Today another class has graduated.
1403
01:42:49,953 --> 01:42:52,513
Another group is leaving Boys Town...
1404
01:42:53,390 --> 01:42:55,255
and going into manhood.
1405
01:42:55,759 --> 01:42:58,728
It is not an easy world
they're going out to.
1406
01:42:59,696 --> 01:43:04,099
The coddled, the weak, the doubting
will fall.
1407
01:43:05,201 --> 01:43:07,226
But the men will survive.
1408
01:43:08,304 --> 01:43:11,205
And great will be the honor they shall win.
1409
01:43:14,678 --> 01:43:16,976
You graduates must be such men.
1410
01:43:17,480 --> 01:43:19,107
Men of Boys Town.
1411
01:43:19,549 --> 01:43:23,246
You must realize
that the inheritance of your generation...
1412
01:43:23,319 --> 01:43:25,549
is toil and sweat and sorrow.
1413
01:43:26,623 --> 01:43:28,614
But you must also know...
1414
01:43:28,958 --> 01:43:33,054
that out of the bitterest battle,
the sweetest victory is won.
1415
01:43:33,797 --> 01:43:37,494
I envy you the glory
of solving the problems you will meet...
1416
01:43:37,567 --> 01:43:39,865
for the tasks of youth today...
1417
01:43:40,470 --> 01:43:42,267
are tasks for giants.
1418
01:43:43,540 --> 01:43:45,838
But the time that awaits you...
1419
01:43:46,643 --> 01:43:48,167
is the time...
1420
01:43:48,878 --> 01:43:51,506
when giants will walk again in the land.
1421
01:43:53,149 --> 01:43:54,616
Be staunch...
1422
01:43:55,385 --> 01:43:57,012
keep the faith...
1423
01:43:59,355 --> 01:44:00,686
and you...
1424
01:44:02,459 --> 01:44:04,552
will walk among the giants.
1425
01:44:07,530 --> 01:44:09,020
God bless you.
