All language subtitles for The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet S03E16 A Matter of Principle 1080p AMZN WEB-DL DDP2 0 H 264-CRFW (1)_track4_[eng]

- Hi, I'm Harriet Nelson.

Ozzie and I thought
that you'd like

to know that we have our picture
on the cover of the March

issue of "TV Radio Mirror."

There's a very interesting
story inside, too,

with lots of pictures of
the whole Nelson tribe.

- If I may suggest,
I think you'd better

get your copies pretty soon.

I know, for instance,
in Tenafly, New Jersey,

they're all sold
out of them already.

My mother lives there.

[music playing]

- And now, Hotpoint presents
America's favorite family

comedy, "The Adventures
of Ozzie and Harriet,"

starring the entire
Nelson family.

Here is Ozzie,
who plays the part

of Ozzie Nelson; and, of
course, his lovely wife Harriet

as Harriet Nelson.

The older of the Nelson boys,
David, appears as David Nelson;

and his younger brother,
the irrepressible Ricky,

played by Ricky Nelson.

The Nelson's next
door neighbor, Thorny,

is played by Don DeFore.

- You know, I have a
feeling we shouldn't have

ordered these super doopers.

They're terribly
expensive, aren't they?

- Not only that, they're
about 500 calories.

- If you girls are worried about
getting fat, that's one thing,

but if it's a money you're
thinking about, forget it.

When you're out with
Nelson and Thornberry,

you're traveling first class.

- Don't you want
some of mine, Dave?

- Oh, no, thanks.

I don't go in too much
for those big dishes.

- What time's the party
start tomorrow night, Dave?

- I'm not sure.

I think it's about 8:00 or 8:30.

You're sure it's all right
with Tommy's parents, now?

- Oh, yeah.

They said as long as
we furnish the food

and clean up afterwards, we
could have the party there.

- Do us girls have to furnish
the food, too, or just

clean up afterwards?

- Don't be silly.

All you have to do
is look beautiful

and be ready at 8 o'clock.

- I still think I'll do
my nails after I get home.

- Well, speaking
of getting home...

- Oh, that's right.

You have to be home
early tonight, don't you?

- I do if I want to
go out tomorrow night.

- You sure you girls don't
want another one of these?

- Oh, you're kidding, of course.

- You boys must have
struck oil or something.

Load seats at the show
and all this besides.

- Susie, I told you
before, when you're out

with Nelson and Thornberry,
money is no object.

- [laughs]

- Harriet.

- Yes, dear?

- Are you busy?

- I'll be right there.

What do you want?

- Oh, were you
looking at television?

- I was watching this old movie.

I've seen it about
six times and I

can't seem to get in
at the beginning of it.

- Oh, I was looking
over these bills.

When did we have all this
work done on the car?

- Oh, that was David's car.

There was something wrong with
the transmission or something.

- Well, I thought
it was understood

when he bought
that car of his he

was going to take care of
all the repairs himself.

- Well, he does
most of it, but you

know how it is with an old car.

It needs new parts now and then.

- What about this fender
straightening here?

- Oh, that.

Didn't I tell you about that?

While David's car
was in the shop,

he borrowed ours one
afternoon, and, evidently,

somebody bumped into
it in the parking lot.

- Boy, and the week
before, somebody

pushed him in
front of a fireplug

while he was in the movies,
and he got a ticket.

More mysterious things
happen to him in that car,

and they all cost money.

- I don't know, dear.

- I hate to sound
unreasonable, but I

don't want him to
grow up with the idea

that money grows
on trees either.

- Well, if you feel
that way about it,

why don't you have a
little talk with him?

- I think I will.

- Yes, I realize that
times have changed,

and, for some reason or
other, the kids nowadays

seem to need more spending
money than we used to.

- Hey, sounds like I came
in just the right time.

- Oh, hi, Dave.

- Oh, hiya, son.

- As long as you're
on the subject, Pop,

could I have a little
extra spending money?

- Well, if you fellas are going
to have a financial discussion,

I think I'll head upstairs.
- Well, no, no.

Wait, Harriet.

I thought you wanted to talk
the situation over with David.

- No, I'll leave
that up to you, dear.

Don't stay up too late.

- Well, I--

- Something the matter, Pop?

- Oh.

Well, no, not exactly, son.

Here, sit down for
a minute, will you?

I hate to sound like
an unreasonable parent,

but it seems to
me it's about time

you got a little
better conception

of the value of money.

- Gee, I guess it didn't
come in at the right time.

- I don't want to make
a big deal out of it,

but it seems to me you could
stay home a few evenings

and give that car
of yours a rest.

- Well, I just go
out on weekends, Pop.

I'm studying all
the other nights.

- Well, I know
that, and I realize

that between your studies
and your athletics,

you have a full schedule.

But it seems to me
all I do around here

is hand out $5 bills.

- Well, gee...

- What's the matter?

- I was going to
ask you for $10.

- Say, son, what do
you need $10 for?

- Well, there's this
party tomorrow night

over at Tommy Taylor's, and I
wanted to take Jackie Fraser.

- Oh, why don't you?

That doesn't sound as if
it ought to cost anything.

- Well, see here's the deal.

We're giving the party
over at Tommy's house,

but the money's for the
food and records and stuff.

- Well, how much
can those kids eat?

- Boy, you'd be surprised!

Take Jackie, for instance.

You know how kind of slim
and petite she looks?

- Well, yeah.

- Well, she eats like a horse.

- Well, don't you have
any money saved up?

What about the money I
gave you the other night?

- Well, gosh, Pop,
it goes like mad.

- Oh, I realize that everything
is more expensive nowadays,

but you've got to learn
to watch your money.

- Well, I watch it, all
right, but all of a sudden,

it disappears.

- That's what happens
to everybody, son.

Now, I could give you the $10,
but I really don't think I

should this time.

- Well, OK, Pop.

- See, this is
one of the unhappy

parts about being a parent.

I think you'll thank me for it
when you get a little older.

- Oh, I know it.

Well, I guess I'll go in and
watch television for a while.

- OK.

Sorry, Dave.

[music playing]

- Hiya, Thorny.

- Hi, Oz.

- Thinking of buying
this trout reel?

- Are you kidding?

I can barely afford
to look at it.

- I know what you mean.

Everything's so
expensive nowadays.

I was talking to Dave
about that last night.

He wanted to hit me up for $10,
but I had to turn the kid down.

- Say, wait a minute.

Was that something about a
party over Tommy Taylor's?

- Oh, yeah.

Is your boy Will going?

- Well, I guess he
was thinking about it.

He wanted to borrow $10 from
me, but I turned him down, too.

- Oh, gee, I'm glad you did.

Now it makes me feel a little
less like a heel for turning

Dave down.

- Well, the kids have
got to realize that money

doesn't grow on trees.

- Yeah, I think we
did the right thing.

- Say, do you want to
come inside and look

at one of these reels with me?

- You're not going to buy it.
- Oh, no, no.

Of course not.

I don't want to get an
idea of the price and all.

- Well, OK.

If you're just going to look.

- Yeah.

- Call again.

- This is the one
I was looking at.

- Oh, yeah.
- Ain't it a beauty?

- It's real nice.

- Good afternoon, gentlemen.

May I help you?

- Oh, we're just looking around.

- That's a dandy, isn't it?

- It sure is.

- We have a hard time keeping
that particular model in stock.

It's highly recommended
by all the top trout men.

- Really?
- Oh, yes.

In fact, the Royal Canadian
Trout Club of Winnipeg

has named it the
reel of the year.

- Did it?

- Oh, yes, indeed.

I'll be glad to give
you their phone number

if you'd like to verify that.

- Oh.

No, thanks.

I believe you.

It's a beauty.

My friend here is the one
who's interested in it.

- How much is it?

- Only $23.95.

- Well, as I say, we're
just looking around.

- Well, that's
perfectly all right.

Now, just make
yourselves at home.

- Thanks.

- Nice and cozy over here by
the golf equipment, if you'd

like to sit down for a minute.

- Oh, see you're having a sale.

- Yes, on golf balls.

It's an introductory offer
on our gyroscopic specials.

- Gyroscopic special?

- Yes.

It's a nice name,
don't you think?

You see, they're so
perfectly balanced, they

spin like a gyroscope and
automatically keep themselves

in a straight line.

- Say, how about that?

- It looks like an
ordinary golf ball to me.

- Well, it's rather deceptively
designed, but believe me,

they go as straight as an arrow.

- Is there any particular
trick to using them?

- None at all.

Just stand up there and
hit the ball squarely.

- That's very interesting.

- Of course, if you can
only play once a week, why,

I wouldn't recommend them.

- Why do you say that?

- Well, you know, you start
knocking those strokes off

of your game, and the
first thing you know,

why, you feel obligated to
enter all the tournaments.

- I suppose so.

- Now, me, I'm happy in
just being a duffer myself.

But, you know, there
are a lot of guys

who are always
looking for something

to improve their game.

And I suppose a ball that goes
as straight as an arrow appeals

to them.

- Uh, just out of curiosity,
how much are these?

- They're not expensive
at all, especially when

you consider the quality.

- Oh, yes, but
how much are they?

- Only $1 and a quarter.

- But isn't that pretty
high for a golf ball?

- Have you priced
gyroscopes lately?

- Oh, thanks.

I don't think I should
spend the money.

- I hate to sound persistent,
sir, but on a sale like this,

you aren't really
spending money at all.

You're actually saving it.

- I think he's
got a point there.

- Say, if you're
pinched for cash,

we'll be glad to work
out something for you

on our easy payment plan.

- Oh, that's all right, thanks.

I have $1 and a quarter with me.

- Well, I'll charge mine.

- Thorny, I'll lend
you $1 and a quarter.

- No, thanks.

The interest will be less here.

- Fill this out, please.

You know, I hate to cheat you
out of good money like this.

For $12.50, you could buy a
whole dozen and save almost $3.

- Well, no, thanks.

I just like to have one
and then try it out.

- Well, I'll take a dozen.

I can't afford to throw $3 away.

- What the heck?

Give me a dozen, too.

- Fine.

No, thank you very much.

- Say, could I make a
little change in my order?

- Certainly.

What is it?

- Add one of these
fishing reels.

[music playing]

- I've been looking for you.

- Well, here I am.

- I have a little problem
to discuss with you.

That is, if you can
tear yourself away

from that intellectual-type
literature.

- Go right ahead.

I'm in my receptive mood today.

- Would you like a little help
with your homework later on?

- Will this just cost me
money or a quart of my blood?

- I guess you'd call it money--

10 bucks.

- $10?

Gee, what happened?

You were loaded with
money last week.

- Well, yeah, well, I wanted
to take Jackie to this party

tonight, and so I took
her a couple of movies

and bought her something to eat.

And she finally said
yeah, she'd go with me,

but now I can't
afford to take her.

- It's a very touching
little story, David.

In fact, it has everything--
sentiment, humor.

It's very funny.

- Not very funny to me.

If I can't round up this
money, I can't go to the party.

It'd be very embarrassing, too.

- When you need money, it's
like any other problem.

You have to get to
the main source.

- I already did.

Pop won't let me have it.

- Why not?

- He said it's a
matter of principle.

I should have been more careful
about the way I spent it.

I guess he's right.

- You guess he's right?

You know he's right.

Pop's always right.

- He knows it.

- I just want to let
him know I know it.

- Are you going to lend me
the money, or aren't you?

- You said yourself
Pop is right.

You knew this party
was coming up.

You should have saved for it.

Thrift is a very important
thing in this world.

The man that could save money
is a way ahead of the game.

- OK, OK.

Just dig deep in your vault
and come up with the money,

will you?
- I'm sorry, David.

I just can't.

- Why not?

- Because I only
have $0.15 myself.

- For crying out loud!

You're a great one to be
giving lectures on thrift.

- Don't you have
any money at all?

- Yeah, I have about
$0.75, but that

isn't going to do me any good.

- Let it do me some good.

Lend me $0.50, and you don't
have to do my homework.

- Oh, thanks a lot.

What's the $0.50 for?

- Well, there's a dance
coming up at school next week,

and I thought I'd persuade Sally
Hughes with a double frozen

delight.

- Well, apparently, you
haven't profited by my mistake.

If you spend all your
money on her now,

you won't have enough to
take her to the dance.

- That's where I outsmarted you.

This is a girl-ask-boy dance.

- Have an extra
marshmallow on me.

- Thanks, old boy.

You're a good man.

- What's the big idea?

- I'm just getting
a little practice.

Hey, come on in the garage.
Hurry up.

- What are you doing
in my garage anyway?

- Are you kidding?

I couldn't leave
this in my garage.

Catherine might find it.

- Oh, got a guilty
conscience, huh?

- No, it's just that I got
a head that bruises easily.

- You know, Thorny, I've
been thinking it over,

and we did really spend an
awful lot of money this morning,

especially after
turning the boys down.

- Yeah, I guess we were
a little extravagant.

- A little extravagant?

How about this fishing reel?

- Yeah, isn't it a beauty?

- Sure, it's a beauty, but
that's not what I had in mind.

Don't you think we ought
to reconsider and let

the kids have the
money for the party?

- Well, I don't know why
you're saying that, Oz.

Actually, the two situations
have no connection.

You must admit that
both David and Will

have been a little
careless with money lately.

- David and Will?

What about us?

- Well, that's
entirely different.

I mean, just because we went
down to buy a few golf balls,

I don't think
that's so terrible.

- Well, the whole
idea of it bothers me,

the inconsistency of it.

- Well, Oz, we're two grown men.

And as grown men, we're allowed
to do things boys aren't.

I mean, we drink coffee
and smoke cigars.

And we can go out and
spend our money foolishly.

That is, not exactly foolishly.

- Yes, foolishly.

- OK, then foolishly.

It's all the more
reason why we shouldn't

give the kids any extra money.

- I'm afraid I don't
follow the logic of that.

- Oh, Oz.

You wouldn't want
our boys to grow up

to be a couple of weak-kneed
jellyfish like us, would you?

- I suppose it is a parent's
duty to be firm occasionally,

even though it hurts.

- That's the idea.

And it's not as if we've
done anything wrong by going

out and buying this stuff.

- What are you doing there?

- I want to hide this
for the time being.

OK, then it's agreed.

I won't give Will any
money for the party,

and you won't give David any.

- Well, OK.

- OK.

Well, I guess I'll
be sneaking along.

See ya later, Oz.

- OK, jelly.

Oh, hello there, Will.

- Hi, Mr. Nelson.

- Gonna do a little reading?

- Yes, sir.

Was supposed to go
to a party tonight,

but things didn't seem
to work out financially.

- Oh, yeah, I heard about that.

You having a little
financial difficulty, too?

- Yes, sir.

It's going to be a
swell party, too.

Most of the fellows we go around
with are going to be there--

Everybody except
David and me, that is.

- Oh, gee, that's a shame.

- Yeah.

But I guess my dad's right.

He says if I've already spent
my money on something foolish,

I don't deserve to go.

You can't very well
argue with that.

- No, I suppose not.

- Besides, he's my father.

Well, I guess I'll be going.

I think I'll take a
walk down by the river.

[bell dings]

- By the river?

- Yes, sir, just to take a
look at some of the boats.

- Oh, say, Will, I have $5 here.

I'd be glad to lend it to you.

- Oh, gee, no
thanks, Mr. Nelson.

I really couldn't.

- Well, OK.

- However, if you insist.

- Yeah, I do.

Sure, here, take it, Will.

- Gee, thanks, Mr. Nelson.

Thanks a lot.

- Oh, there's just
one thing, though.

I want you to promise you
won't tell your dad about this.

- I promise anything.

And here, here's my watch.

- What's this for?

- Collateral.

- Well, OK.

We'll make this a regular
business transaction then.

However, this looks like
a pretty good watch.

I'd say this was worth
about $10, wouldn't you?

- Well, I'd say anything.

- I'll give you another
$5, and that'll make $10--

collateral for the watch.

- Gee, thanks a lot, Mr. Nelson.

Thanks an awful lot.

- OK, have a good time.

Hi.

- Hi.

- Do you know where David is?

- He was around here
a little while ago.

- Harriet, tell me
something honestly.

Do you think I'm being
too severe with David

in not letting them have the
money to go to the party?

- Well, I don't know, dear.

Those decisions are
always difficult to make.

- Yeah, I know, but everything's
more expensive nowadays.

Food, rent,
clothing, golf balls.

- Golf balls?

What have they
got to do with it?

- Oh, well, I bought some
gyroscopic golf balls.

- Gyroscopic golf balls?

- Yeah, it's kind
of a funny name.

It's a new thing just out.

There's a sale on them, and you
save $2.50 if you buy a dozen.

They're $1 and a quarter apiece.

And if you hit them straight,
they go right in a--

did I tell you, you save $2.50?

- $2.50, yes, you told me.

It's your money, dear.

If you want to spend it on
golf balls, it's up to you.

- Well, I suppose so.

Gee, I'm sorry I made that
agreement with Thorny.

- What agreement's that?

- Well, he and I talked
over the whole deal,

and we agreed not to give the
boys the money for the party.

- Well, then that's that.

- Well, yes and no, Harriet.

After all, a man's first
duty is to his family.

Besides, I think if Will
can go to the party,

David should be able to go too.

- Well, how can Will go if
he hasn't got the money?

- Well, he can
always borrow some.

After all, there are some people
in this neighborhood who aren't

as cheap and miserly as Thorny.

- Yes, of course, dear.

How much did you lend will?

- $10.

Harriet, I felt sorry
for the poor kid.

So, as I say, if I can lend
money to our neighbor's boy,

the least I can do is lend
some money to my own son.

- You say something about money?

- Oh, hi, Dave.

Come on in here and sit
down, will you, son?

I'd like to have a
little talk with you.

Well, last night, I got off
a lot of high-sounding stuff

about not spending your
money and all that.

- No, you were
absolutely right, Pop.

- Well, yes in a way,
but like everything else,

that can be overdone too.

I've been thinking over
the whole deal, Dave.

And how much money do you need?

- No, I don't need anything.
Thanks, Pop.

- No, no, wait a minute.

I'm not going to have
you miss out on the party

just because you're broke.
- No, I'm going to the party.

I managed to get
some money anyway.

- Oh, gee, you did?

- Yes, sir, $10.

You were right, too.

If a guy really
wants some money,

he doesn't need to borrow
it from his father.

- Well, Dave, I think
that's wonderful.

- Well, gee, it sure is.

Good for you, son.

It just goes to show you that
a boy with a right spirit

can make his own
way in the world.

Now, I know it wasn't easy.

Honest work never is.

- Well, it wasn't
exactly honest work.

It wasn't exactly work either.

In fact, I'm not sure
it was exactly honest.

- Dave, how did
you get the money?

- I borrowed it
from Mr. Thornberry.

- From Mr. Thornberry?

- Yes, sir.

I didn't want to take it.

It was all Mr.
Thornberry's idea,

but he's still bigger than
I am, and he practically

forced it on me.

- How about that?

The Thorny makes
believing so tough.

- I guess I better go
upstairs and change.

- Well, don't stay out
too late tonight, Dave.

- No, ma'am, I won't.

- You better wear you watch
and make sure you don't.

- Oh, my watch.

I suppose you mean
my wristwatch.

- Well, yeah.

Where is it?

- Mr. Thornberry has it.

- Mr. Thornberry?

What's Mr. Thornberry
doing with your wristwatch?

- He took it as security.

It's all right, though.

I understand that's
the usual procedure.

- Well, here, son.

Wear Will's watch.

I have a hunch he'll
be wearing yours.

- OK, Pop.

Thanks a lot.

I'll be home early, Mom.

- OK, dear.

- Aw, he's a good kid.

You know, it looks
as if you and Ricky

are the only members
of the family that

didn't go into debt this week.

- Well, no.

I'm afraid I was a
little extravagant, too.

- Oh, no willpower, huh?

- Well, you're a fine
one to talk after buying

a dozen microscopic golf balls.

- Gyroscopic.

That's OK, dear.

You don't have to
explain anything.

Just tell me what
it was you bought.

- Oh, well, I saw this beautiful
gold lamé cocktail dress

at the Emporium.

It was just my size, too.

- Oh, when did you buy it?

- Well, I haven't yet, but
I'm going to first thing

Monday morning.

[music playing]

[music playing]

- You know, Thorny,
I've been thinking.

I wonder if we did the right
thing giving the boys the money

for that party last night.

- Well, they had a
good time, didn't they?

- Yeah, but, well,
Dave ducked out

of the house right
after dinner tonight,

and said he was
coming home early.

- What's wrong with that?

- Well, nothing, except there's
this big dance at school

next week, and I
should think he'd

be figuring out some way
to earn some money so he

could go to it.

- Yeah, I see what you mean.

But that's the way
the kids are nowadays.

Why should they earn
the money when they

can get it from dear old dad?

- Yeah.

- Can I help you gentlemen?

- Oh.

Dave!

What are you--

- Well, there's a big
dance next weekend,

and Will and I kind of
thought we'd like to go.

I hope you don't mind.

- Well, no, that's fine, son.

- Hiya, Pop!

- Hi!

Hey, Will.

Earning some money, huh, boys?

Well, let's see.

I think I'll have one
of the super dupers.

How about you, Thorny?
- Same for me, Oz.

- Two super dupers.

- Coming right up.
