00:01:30["The Star-Spangled Banner"]
00:01:36["The Star-Spangled Banner"]
00:01:57On your sets.
00:01:58Quick!
00:02:06["The Star-Spangled Banner"]
00:02:12["The Star-Spangled Banner"]
00:02:18["The Star-Spangled Banner"]
00:02:24["The Star-Spangled Banner"]
00:02:35Buzzy!
00:02:38Yes, sir?
00:02:40How come Martin Granville isn't out for football?
00:02:43Boy, you ought to know. You played football as father.
00:02:46Why the smile?
00:02:48Old dummy Granville was a mighty good player.
00:02:51Sure he was.
00:02:52For the other side.
00:02:58Every year, Franklin has to have its dummy Granville.

00:03:18["The Star-Spangled Banner"]
00:03:22Gaines!
00:03:26Gaines, as captain of this squad,
00:03:28you might be doing something more constructive during spring football practice.
00:03:44I know you're in a hurry, Martin.
00:03:46Thanks, Johnny.
00:03:59Come on, Marty. We gotta work for a living.
00:04:01I'm coming.
00:04:18Heads up! Look out!
00:04:20I've got it.
00:04:29["The Star-Spangled Banner"]
00:04:39Now that's the kind of a man we need in the backfield.
00:04:42Boy, that's the time we showed him.
00:04:44Come on, Marty. You'll be late at the drugstore.
00:04:46And I've got a dozen suits to press for Avery before dinner.
00:04:49Come on.
00:04:51Why don't you bury the hatchet?
00:04:53Sorry, coach.
00:04:54I'd do a lot for you, but not that.
00:04:56My father and you were on the same team
00:04:58when Martin's father ran the wrong way for a touchdown.
00:05:01Our families don't get along very well.
00:05:03But you're fraternity brothers.
00:05:05Sure. Cain and Abel were brothers, too.
00:05:07For that matter, you're a member of the same fraternity.
00:05:10Why don't you?
00:05:12Granville!
00:05:13Yes, sir?
00:05:15You've been at Franklin three years.
00:05:17Why haven't you gone out for a team?
00:05:19That's a funny question for you to ask, coach.
00:05:21You know my father.
00:05:23Football has caused too much trouble in my family.
00:05:25It's almost 30 years since your father pulled that boner.
00:05:33If you think 30 years could make Franklin forget,
00:05:36take a look at that dummy.
00:05:41Dummy Granville.
00:05:43No, thanks.
00:05:44There have been enough dummy Granvilles in my family.
00:05:47Besides, you'll be out here for another hour.
00:05:49I have to hurry. I'll be late for my job.
00:05:51I know you're working your way.
00:05:53But there are other jobs.
00:05:55Maybe we could find one that would take less of your time.
00:05:58That's awfully nice of you, coach.
00:06:00But I'd rather work this out on my own.
00:06:02But listen, my boy.
00:06:04There's another reason.
00:06:05The last thing I promised my father
00:06:07was that I wouldn't play football.
00:06:10Your father and I used to be pretty good pals.
00:06:13Would it do any good if I talked to him?
00:06:15I doubt it, sir.
00:06:16Listen, Marty.
00:06:17Aby's going to...
00:06:18Yes, I know.
00:06:19Aby's going to fire you if you don't press those pants.
00:06:22Mr. Penopolis is going to do a thing to me
00:06:24if I don't jerk sodas for that four o'clock rush.
00:06:27Thanks for your interest, Mr. Rodney.
00:06:39Well?
00:06:40This team needs a good quarterback.
00:06:42Hasn't the boy any weakness that I can go to work on?
00:06:45He has a weakness, all right.
00:06:47Not that it'll do him any good.
00:06:49What's her name?
00:06:50Oh, now look, Coach, I...
00:06:51What's her name?
00:06:54Pat Meredith.
00:06:55But she's my...
00:06:56I don't care who she is.
00:06:58I'm going to put her to work right away.
00:07:03Hello, Coach.
00:07:04Hello, Pat.
00:07:05Listen, you like Franklin, don't you?
00:07:07Oh, I love it.
00:07:08And do you love the football team?
00:07:11Are you speaking collectively or individually?
00:07:14What I mean is you've got a lot of this college
00:07:16die-for-dear-old-alma mater spirit, haven't you?
00:07:19That all depends.
00:07:21What are you leading up to, Coach?
00:07:24We need Martin Granville on the football squad.
00:07:27I want you to give him a little pep talk.
00:07:29Martin Granville?
00:07:31Gee, Coach, I thought you wanted me to do you a favor.
00:07:34You're doing me one.
00:07:44Well, I guess I'm a little...
00:07:50I guess I'm a deuce.
00:08:01Hello, Martin.
00:08:02How about a chocolate, Mom?
00:08:03You heard what Mr. Panopoulos said.
00:08:06Well, what Mr. Panopoulos doesn't know won't hurt him.
00:08:09What you're suggesting smacks very much of dishonesty to me, Hank.
00:08:13Now, run along.
00:08:15Oh, hello, Pat.
00:08:16Hello, Marty.
00:08:17Hello, Pat.
00:08:18Hello, Jack.
00:08:19Make me a hot fudge sundae, will you, Marty?
00:08:21Sure.
00:08:22Aren't you going to speak to me?
00:08:24Oh, hello.
00:08:25Hello.
00:08:33On your way, little boy.
00:08:34I'm here on the team's business.
00:08:37All right.
00:08:38But make sure it is the team's business.
00:08:42Well, if I ever get any money,
00:08:44there's going to be some changes made around this culture factory.
00:08:58Listen, Marty, if you'd only be reasonable.
00:09:01Traitor.
00:09:03Traitor.
00:09:05Traitor.
00:09:07Traitor.
00:09:08Traitor.
00:09:09Traitor.
00:09:10Traitor.
00:09:13Sit down, Marty.
00:09:16What's the matter?
00:09:17Afraid of me?
00:09:18No.
00:09:19Not of you.
00:09:21But of losing my job.
00:09:24You better eat it before the fudge gets cold.
00:09:27I didn't want the sundae anyway.
00:09:30I wanted to talk to you.
00:09:34You haven't called me for a long time, Martin.
00:09:36Is anything the matter?
00:09:38Well, you seem to be sort of busy, and...
00:09:40I'm not as busy as all that.
00:09:43I've been waiting for you to call.
00:09:46Don't you like me anymore, Martin?
00:09:48Well, that's not it at all, Pat, and you know I don't need...
00:09:51Well, I'm not in a position to meet much competition just now,
00:09:55and competition's a pretty mild word for what I'd be up to with you.
00:09:59That's a very clumsy compliment, Marty, and it isn't true at all.
00:10:03There's never been any competition where you're concerned.
00:10:06I've been holding the junior prom tonight for you.
00:10:08Oh, really?
00:10:09Will you call for me?
00:10:10Sure.
00:10:11About eight, Marty, and don't be late.
00:10:13All right.
00:10:14And bring Hank along. My cousin's in town.
00:10:17We'll make a party of it.
00:10:18Sure.
00:10:19Goodbye.
00:10:28The chocolate malted milk.
00:10:30The chocolate malted milk.
00:10:32The chocolate malted milk.
00:10:34The chocolate malted milk.
00:10:36The chocolate malted milk.
00:10:38The chocolate malted milk.
00:10:40Well, what are you making such a face about?
00:10:42I'm concentrating.
00:10:43What on?
00:10:44The chocolate malted milk.
00:10:46The chocolate malted milk.
00:10:47The chocolate malted milk.
00:10:53Well, I'll be...
00:10:55Next time I'm going to concentrate on having a malted milk with an egg in it.
00:10:59Never mind the milk.
00:11:00Try concentrating on a couple of tuxedos for a change.
00:11:03Get over to Aby's and beg, borrow, or steal suits for tonight.
00:11:06We've got a date.
00:11:08Oh, be reasonable, Marty.
00:11:09You know Aby.
00:11:10You know he won't.
00:11:11He won't.
00:11:12He won't.
00:11:13He'll succeed as we want.
00:11:14Not alibis.
00:11:15Meet me at the house when you have them, and not one minute before.
00:11:18Understand?
00:11:19Here.
00:11:20Take your hat.
00:11:26What's the good of concentrating on a chocolate malted milk if you can't drink it in tea?
00:11:34I don't know what Aby's going to do when he finds a couple of suits missing, but who
00:11:50cares?
00:11:51If Pat's cousin is as good as she says she is, it'll fit.
00:11:54Well, I hope you got a couple of good ones while you were at it.
00:11:57Boy, they're lulus.
00:12:04Here you are, Bo Brummel.
00:12:11Say, is this your idea of a lulu?
00:12:20Martin, I strongly suspect foul play.
00:12:23These were perfectly good suits when I took them.
00:12:26Foul play is right, and there's just one guy around here foul enough to pull a stunt like
00:12:30this.
00:12:31Where are you going?
00:12:32I have to telephone Pat and tell her we'll be late.
00:12:34Get the knots out of my clothes for me, will you, honey?
00:12:36Well, wait a minute.
00:12:37How about a pair of pants?
00:12:38Try concentrating on them.
00:12:40If Marty thinks he can treat me like this, I...
00:12:43If I had a hunch something like this would happen.
00:12:45That's why I dropped around.
00:12:46I'm glad you did, Jack.
00:12:48Just let me call my cousin and we'll go.
00:12:51Mr. Gaines is taking us to the prom, Connie.
00:12:54Hurry up.
00:12:57Uh-uh.
00:13:02Meow.
00:13:03Meow.
00:13:04Meow.
00:13:31Meow.
00:13:32Meow.
00:13:38Meow.
00:13:39Meow.
00:13:40Meow.
00:13:49Jack, come here.
00:14:01It is a surprise, Coach.
00:14:04I didn't think the junior prom was in your line.
00:14:07It isn't.
00:14:08I came to see you.
00:14:09Oh, that's a bigger surprise.
00:14:13I didn't think that sort of thing was in your line either.
00:14:16Now, stop vamping me, Pat.
00:14:18I'm an old man, and I don't like to be kidded, but how are you doing with young Granville?
00:14:24I'm not.
00:14:26Your young Granville broke a date with me tonight, and I've severed diplomatic relations
00:14:30with him.
00:14:31We're at war.
00:14:32Then you'll have to declare an armistice.
00:14:36I need that boy on my team, and you have to help me get him there.
00:14:39I'll consider it, if he looks properly repentant.
00:14:42Hello, Buzz.
00:14:43Hello.
00:14:44Where have you been all evening?
00:14:45Looking for you.
00:14:46Well, I don't know what you have to worry about.
00:14:48You at least have a pair of pants, and when Ava finds out about me borrowing these tuxedos,
00:14:53I won't have a job.
00:14:54Yeah, I hope Pat's cousin's worth all this trouble.
00:14:58Do you mind, Coach?
00:14:59Go ahead.
00:15:01I'll be here, Pat, if anything develops.
00:15:02If it doesn't, it won't be my fault.
00:15:03Say, there's Pat now with Buzzy Vincent.
00:15:06Hey!
00:15:07Wait a minute.
00:15:08What about me?
00:15:09I'll bite.
00:15:10What about you?
00:15:11Hiya, fella.
00:15:12You only do things like that.
00:15:13Bye-bye, Buzzy.
00:15:14I should be angry with you, Marty.
00:15:33What's the use of trying?
00:15:34Why the costume?
00:15:35This is a junior prom, not a masquerade.
00:15:36Well, see, I...
00:15:37And where's Hank?
00:15:38Pat's cousin's looking for him.
00:15:39I'll go get him.
00:15:40He's coming.
00:15:41I hope.
00:15:42Good.
00:15:43Tell Connie, will you, Buz?
00:15:44Oh, it'll be a pleasure.
00:15:45Pants.
00:15:46Pants.
00:15:47Nice, dark pants with maybe a black silk stripe down the side.
00:15:48Oh, yes.
00:15:49Yes.
00:15:50Yes.
00:15:51Yes.
00:15:52Yes.
00:15:53Yes.
00:15:54Yes.
00:15:55Yes.
00:15:56Yes.
00:15:57Yes.
00:15:58Yes.
00:15:59Yes.
00:16:00Yes.
00:16:01Yes.
00:16:02Yes.
00:16:03Yes.
00:16:04Yes.
00:16:05Yes.
00:16:06Yes.
00:16:07Yes.
00:16:08Yes.
00:16:09Oh, a black silk stripe down the side.
00:16:11Hands with some pleats around the waist.
00:16:13But the pleats are not necessary.
00:16:14Hands.
00:16:15Hands.
00:16:16So, what else was I to think?
00:16:18He said you had received a telegram you were going to be late.
00:16:22Well, naturally I believe him.
00:16:26Trousers.
00:16:27Opp, pants.
00:16:29Pants.
00:16:30Pants.
00:16:31Hands, hands, hands, hands, hands, hands.
00:16:41♪♪
00:16:55Amy!
00:16:56Yeah?
00:16:57Aren't you the man Hank Durfee works for?
00:16:59That's right.
00:17:00I've got something funny to tell you.
00:17:02Come on, I like funny things.
00:17:04Just wait a minute.
00:17:10Come on, you'll appreciate this.
00:17:17I'm sorry I told you, Marty.
00:17:19Jack didn't mean anything.
00:17:21It was only a joke.
00:17:22I'm getting a little fed up with Jack and his jokes.
00:17:26Let's go outside for a minute.
00:17:32Hello, dummy.
00:17:33So you got here at last.
00:17:35I was afraid you wouldn't make it,
00:17:36so I brought Pat along for you.
00:17:38Marty, don't, please.
00:17:40You're running up an awful bill
00:17:41you'll have to settle one of these days.
00:17:44Don't worry, dummy.
00:17:46Marty.
00:17:47Hey.
00:17:48Marty, please listen to me.
00:17:49Come on out.
00:17:50I want to talk to you.
00:17:51Please, you did once in there, you know.
00:17:56This guy can say, well, there he goes.
00:18:07Pants.
00:18:13Pants.
00:18:16Pants.
00:18:19You hear the one about the...
00:18:22Pants.
00:18:25Pants.
00:18:28Pants.
00:18:31Pants.
00:18:34Pants.
00:18:40Pants.
00:18:50The thing, driving me crazy.
00:18:53Oh, it's funny, too.
00:18:55I don't see why you and Jack can't get along.
00:18:58He's really awfully nice.
00:19:00It's a family matter, Pat.
00:19:01You wouldn't understand.
00:19:04Jack thinks I won't turn out for football
00:19:05because I've lost my nerve.
00:19:11Well, then the only thing for you to do
00:19:13is to show him he's wrong.
00:19:15Go out for the team and play a better game than he does.
00:19:18That's easier said than done, Pat.
00:19:20I've promised my father I wouldn't play.
00:19:23Besides, I don't even know if I'm coming back
00:19:25to Franklin next fall.
00:19:27Not coming back?
00:19:29Well, Marty, you don't mean to say that you're quitting.
00:19:32Well, why shouldn't I quit?
00:19:34Do you think this sort of thing,
00:19:36jerking sodas in the campus sweet shop, is fun?
00:19:39You people that have everything handed to you
00:19:41on a silver platter get a funny idea on things.
00:19:44What do you know about working your way through college?
00:19:47Summer vacation to you means parties,
00:19:49dancing, having a lot of fun.
00:19:51Summer vacation is when my work really starts.
00:19:55I had a wire from my father last night.
00:19:57Here.
00:20:01He's broke.
00:20:02Can't operate his mine because old Lyman Gaines,
00:20:05Jack's father, has a lien on it.
00:20:08If I want to come back for my senior year,
00:20:10I'll have to raise $500 somehow between now and September.
00:20:15Well, then raise it.
00:20:17How?
00:20:18That's your problem, Marty.
00:20:20And it's a big problem.
00:20:21But I know you'll solve it.
00:20:23Because you aren't the sort of person
00:20:24to let a thing like this throw you, are you?
00:20:28Well, if you say I'm not, I guess you're right.
00:20:31And you'll try and make your father change his mind.
00:20:34I'll do my best.
00:20:46Oh, say, are you Mr. Durkey?
00:20:48Yes.
00:20:49I mean, yes.
00:20:50I'm Connie, Pat's cousin.
00:20:52Oh, that's fine.
00:20:53See, you got me doing it.
00:20:55Do you always miss?
00:20:56No, even when I'm speaking.
00:20:58Oh, you gotta do?
00:21:00There's no need for violence, baby.
00:21:02I'll come to you soon.
00:21:03Well, come on, then.
00:21:06Oh, Pat.
00:21:14Your fraternity pin?
00:21:16Oh, Marty, you're so sweet to me.
00:21:19When you're an All-American quarterback,
00:21:21I'll be the proudest girl at Franklin.
00:21:51This is a fine state of affairs.
00:22:11I wired Granville to meet me here
00:22:13so I could ask him as a favor to let his son play football.
00:22:16And what do I find?
00:22:17I find you two hyenas who are old enough
00:22:20to know better ruining your friendship,
00:22:22your business, and your son's career
00:22:24by keeping up an argument that started 28 years ago
00:22:27and should have been forgotten.
00:22:29Well, my business is sound.
00:22:31My son's all right.
00:22:32After all, why should I lend money to Granville?
00:22:36He pulled a boner once.
00:22:37He's likely to pull another one.
00:22:38I'm not asking you to lend me money, you old fossil.
00:22:41I'm asking you to put your money into the mine
00:22:43so I can go ahead and operate.
00:22:45Well, the mine belongs to me as much as it does to you.
00:22:48Exactly.
00:22:49And you're cutting off your own nose to spite your face.
00:22:51Yes, and it's my face.
00:22:53It's a sin.
00:22:54No one else should try to condemn you.
00:22:55Quiet, please.
00:22:56Gaines, you ought to be ashamed of yourself.
00:22:58You're acting like a sophomore.
00:23:00And as for you, dummy, pardon me.
00:23:03I mean, Granville.
00:23:04Oh, go ahead.
00:23:05Call him dummy.
00:23:06It fits him.
00:23:07Now, look here, Gaines.
00:23:08I've taken all I'm going to take from you.
00:23:09Well, then, get out.
00:23:10I've said my last word on the subject.
00:23:12You can take it any way you like.
00:23:14No, I can't.
00:23:15Oh.
00:23:16You'd have me in jail for assault and battery.
00:23:18Is that so?
00:23:19Well, now.
00:23:20One of these days, Gaines, you're going to wake up
00:23:22and realize that you left college nearly 30 years ago.
00:23:25And it's going to be a great shock to you.
00:23:27Oh, Miss Revelle.
00:23:33Yes, sir.
00:23:34Miss Revelle, send Jack a check for $2,500.
00:23:37Yes, sir.
00:23:39He'll need that for expenses this summer.
00:23:45Listen, Dad.
00:23:46You're getting it here, and I'm getting it in college.
00:23:48There's just one way to stop it.
00:23:50How?
00:23:51I want you to let me go out for football.
00:23:53Go out for football?
00:23:54Why, I don't know even how you're going back to college.
00:23:57Your tuition.
00:23:58I'll take care of that, Dad.
00:23:59Somehow.
00:24:00What I want now is your release from that promise.
00:24:03You know what one bonehead play did for me, son.
00:24:06I'm just afraid that, uh...
00:24:08Listen, Dad.
00:24:09I may not have learned much at college,
00:24:11but I have learned this.
00:24:12When anything begins to buffalo you,
00:24:14the only thing to do is to go out and lick it.
00:24:16Provided it doesn't lick you.
00:24:18I'll take my chances on that.
00:24:20The coach says he'll get me a job
00:24:21in the circulation department of the newspaper.
00:24:24Oh, how about it, Dad?
00:24:26All right, son.
00:24:27If that's the way you feel about it, go ahead.
00:24:31And in case you need any coaching
00:24:33on the finer points of the game,
00:24:35just call on me.
00:24:37Great.
00:24:38Well, all I have to do now is to raise $500 by September.
00:24:45Not bad, huh?
00:24:475 a.m. and we're all finished.
00:24:50It's still work,
00:24:52and I'm temperamentally unfit for work.
00:24:54I'll be rich soon, though.
00:24:56I'm concentrating on that now.
00:24:58What are you going to do then?
00:25:00Hmm.
00:25:01You're laughing at me, but I don't care.
00:25:03I'll be rich.
00:25:04I'll be rich.
00:25:05I'll be rich.
00:25:06I'll be rich.
00:25:07I'll be rich.
00:25:08I'll be rich.
00:25:09I'll be rich.
00:25:10I'll be rich.
00:25:11I'll be rich.
00:25:12You're laughing at me, but I don't care.
00:25:14People laughed at Fulton when he invented the telephone.
00:25:16Just wait.
00:25:18Well, while I'm waiting,
00:25:20take a look at the write-up they gave the Lawrence Aggies.
00:25:22We're going to have a tough game Saturday.
00:25:24Football, baseball, swimming in the tank.
00:25:27All you guys think about is athletics.
00:25:29What about your minds?
00:25:34What's the matter?
00:25:37Now, what's happening?
00:25:38Where are you going?
00:25:39Hey!
00:25:40Come back!
00:25:41Come back!
00:25:54Well, of all the luck.
00:26:03Maybe there's something to this concentration business.
00:26:11Come on, boys.
00:26:12Let's go.
00:26:13Come on.
00:26:14Right.
00:26:35All right.
00:26:36Let's go.
00:26:37Come on.
00:26:38All right.
00:26:39You didn't overstep yourself, did you, Lou?
00:26:56Franklin looks pretty good to me.
00:26:58Who won against that bunch of farmers?
00:27:01Wait till they play Augusta at Thanksgiving.
00:27:03That'll be different.
00:27:04Besides, the whole team is built around Jack Gaines.
00:27:07They'll get him out, and there'll be nothing left.
00:27:10Take him out?
00:27:11Think he can do it?
00:27:12What do you think?
00:27:13Look at that pass!
00:27:14All right, let's go.
00:27:15Come on then.
00:27:16All right.
00:27:17Look at that pass.
00:27:28Give me the ball again and I'll take it over for a touchdown.
00:27:43Nothing doing.
00:27:44The coach's orders were to follow the 42.
00:27:45I've carried it this far.
00:27:46You're not going to keep me out of a touchdown?
00:27:48I'm calling him Zara Cole.
00:27:4942, fellas.
00:27:50All right, let's go.
00:27:51Come on now.
00:27:52Come on.
00:27:53Come on.
00:27:54Come on.
00:27:55Come on.
00:27:56Come on.
00:27:57Come on.
00:27:58Come on.
00:27:59Come on.
00:28:00Come on.
00:28:01Come on.
00:28:02Come on.
00:28:03Come on.

00:28:05Come on.
00:28:06Come on.
00:28:07Come on.
00:28:08Come on.
00:28:09Come on.
00:28:10Come on.
00:28:11Come on.
00:28:12Come on.
00:28:13Come on.
00:28:14Come on.
00:28:15All right.
00:28:16Let's go.
00:28:17Come on now.
00:28:18All right.
00:28:19All right.
00:28:20All right.
00:28:21All right.
00:28:22It'll be over, sir.
00:28:23And the final score, Abram?
00:28:24Nothing, sir.
00:28:25A favor of Franklin.
00:28:26Excellent.
00:28:27We can go home now.

00:28:40different blonde huh uh-huh
00:28:46listen grando what was the idea of that freak play well it worked didn't it sure
00:28:54it worked the fact that that grandstand first quarter touchdown doesn't mean a
00:28:58thing there's no room on this squad for a quarterback who can't be orders I'm
00:29:02him yes sir I understand it won't be long now buzz before you're back at

00:48:10these boys have left but they'll never play good football without discipline
00:48:19you and I don't matter the game does you realize this was to have been my
00:48:29last game you should have realized that last night
00:48:39it's tough grando I know it is but I'm not gonna ask you to go out die for your
00:48:53old Franklin but I do ask you to give me a football game I've taught you all I

00:49:24Granville's cropping up again we've no right to play football but you know
00:49:28nothing for you to worry about fella didn't you better get out there look
00:49:33here dummy I mean Martin I've given you rotten breaks all along you were pretty
00:49:40decent to me last night and well if I can do anything for you you just let me
00:49:46know you can Jack go on out there and show those mugs some real football keep
00:49:51your eye on me dummy Marty no dummies all right Derek I'm used to it
00:50:51Gee, a grand looking bunch of boys.
00:51:03I'll be...
00:51:21Captain Summers, Captain Gaines. Your choice. Yes. All right. We kick. Kick north or south? We take the south course. All right sir. Good luck.
00:51:51Screams
00:52:15Screams
00:52:22Screams
00:52:34Screams
00:52:51Screams
00:52:59Begging your pardon sir, but the first quarter's just ended. The score is nothing to nothing.
00:53:11I trust Mr. Granville has sufficiently distinguished himself. Mr. Granville isn't playing sir.
00:53:17Not playing? Mm-mm. Scandalous. Don't bother me again until Mr. Granville is not only
00:53:23definitely playing but is the hero of the hour. Very well sir.
00:53:32Screams
00:53:44Screams
00:53:48I don't see that son of yours out there dummy. You suppose he could have made a
00:53:53mistake and run away from the field instead of toward it? I mean...
00:53:57Hello there. Didn't expect to see me here did you?
00:54:04What is it Martin? Anything happen? Speak quietly if it's bad news. Don't give this
00:54:12old buzzard the satisfaction of knowing it. It's pretty bad all right. I've been kicked
00:54:18off the team for a cause. Anything you're ashamed of son? No dad. Then don't worry about it.
00:54:28Screams
00:54:51Place kick fellas. I'll kick it, turn it, you hold it. Right.
00:54:56Screams
00:54:58Screams
00:55:00Screams
00:55:22That three point lead is going to be plenty tough coach. Of course you know what you're
00:55:27doing. We need Marty Granville in that quarter. Couldn't you? No.
00:55:48Well. Like father like son you can't get away from it you know. First the father runs a
00:55:54long way for a touchdown. Then the son makes a big noise about playing football but doesn't
00:55:58play. Can you blame me if I wouldn't risk any money with you? You big windbag.
00:56:06Just a minute dad. If you two fellas are going to start that again I'm going to take a walk.
00:56:11I'll see you at the second half dad. Oh I'm an old windbag am I? Why you poor, poor
00:56:19flesh and all. Now let me tell you all.
00:56:27Screams
00:56:49Screams
00:56:57I wonder what the coach has against Marty. I asked him but he wouldn't tell me. I don't know.
00:57:04Screams
00:57:14Now if he'd heard about our drinking at Ashley's I could understand it.
00:57:20Then if he caught one of us he'd have caught us all. I don't know. It's got me down.
00:57:27Listen Jack. I'm going to. All right. Time's up.
00:57:32There you go.
00:57:44Not so bad. A three to nothing lead for Holden. Looks like I've gotten Granville out of the game for good.
00:57:53Yes sir. There's more than one way to kill a cat.
00:57:59Screams
00:58:02Screams
00:58:15Screams
00:58:31Screams
00:58:50Still looking for that son of yours? I knew he couldn't stand the Jack.
00:59:01Screams
00:59:20Screams
00:59:31Screams
00:59:42Screams
00:59:44Screams
00:59:58Screams
01:00:03Screams
01:00:05Screams
01:00:12Now's the time to show it.
01:00:27Screams
01:00:35Screams
01:00:45Screams
01:00:55Time out. Can I help you? I can't breathe.
01:00:59Take it easy fellow. You'll be all right. This is stuff that should happen just now.
01:01:06I wonder who the coach will send in. Marty Granville. Oh if he only would. He will Jack.
01:01:13If I tell him the truth. What do you mean?
01:01:17Marty made me promise not to tell. Said it was for the good of the team.
01:01:22Not for the good of the team I'm telling. That's right isn't it Jack?
01:01:27Listen Buzz. If you know anything spill it. And spill it quick.
01:01:32Last night. Why didn't you tell me this before the game?
01:01:37I couldn't. Marty made me promise not to tell you. You understand don't you coach?
01:01:44Yes.
01:01:48I understand.
01:01:50I understand.
01:01:53Bill. Ollie. Mark. Ed. Rudy. Find Martin Granville for me. I don't care where he is. Find him.
01:01:59Tell him to put on a uniform and get out on that field. Tell him I said so. Hurry.
01:02:05And you've been running the wrong way ever since. Your son's just the same.
01:02:10Granville. Granville. Yes. That's you mister. I was looking for a football player.
01:02:15He left here at the end of the half. Went that way. Thanks.
01:02:17Granville. Marty. Granville.
01:02:20And now snicker you old miser. The best thing you do. How do you know?
01:02:26Marty. Marty Granville. Marty Granville.
01:02:30I wonder what happened. I don't know. Something is going wrong.
01:02:35Marty. Marty Granville. Here. What do you want? Get in your uniform coach says. Hurry.
01:02:40Oh boy.
01:02:47Oh boy.
01:02:50Oh boy.
01:02:53Oh boy.
01:02:56Oh boy.
01:02:59Oh boy.
01:03:02I know all about it Marty. I'm sorry. Get in there and relieve Ferber.
01:03:07Any instructions? Yes. Win the game.
01:03:11Oh boy.
01:03:14Whistle.
01:03:17Place in Ferber's quarter. Ferber out.
01:03:20Good luck Marty.
01:03:2928. Go deep Joe.
01:03:43Whistle.
01:03:52He'll break yet. He can't last.
01:03:55With one more minute to play. Don't be a sap all your life game.
01:03:59I know all about it Marty. Forget it.
01:04:02One minute to play and 40 yards to go. How about it Jack?
01:04:05It's all yours.
01:04:08All right. I'll call for 33. And whatever happens get down across their goal line. Got it?
01:04:13Whatever happens. I'll be there. All right. 33 fellas.
01:04:17All right. I'll call for 33. And whatever happens get down across their goal line. Got it?
01:04:22Whatever happens. I'll be there. All right. 33 fellas.
01:04:253, 4, 9, 7.
01:04:49He's doing it. He's doing it. He's doing the same thing that he did to me yesterday.
01:04:52He's doing the same thing that he did to me yesterday.
01:04:59This one's for the old man.
01:05:23More than one way to kill a caddy.
01:05:26You poor sap. You never got above the kitten class.
01:05:41Oh come on.
01:05:52Come on.
01:06:08How about the Granville family having dinner tonight with the Gaines family?
01:06:12Great. Just as soon as I take Pat back from the tea dance.
01:06:15You take Pat back from the tea dance? Why I'm doing that.
01:06:18You're wrong. Pat and I are engaged.
01:06:20She's wearing my fraternity pin.
01:06:23She's wearing your fraternity pin.
01:06:26She's wearing mine.
01:06:28Here, here, here. Don't fight boys.
01:06:30If you want your pins back, drop us a card at Niagara Falls.
01:06:33We're going there on our honeymoon.
01:06:36Pat!
01:06:39Say!
01:06:41That's what concentration does for you.
01:06:43And I don't know which one of you boys to kiss first.
01:06:46Well, the answer to that is neither one. Goodbye boys.
01:06:48Bye.
01:06:50Right at Niagara, you know.
01:07:01Begging your pardon, sir.
01:07:03But if you're going away on your honeymoon,
01:07:05how do you expect me to work my way through college?
01:07:07I've been so happy in here before and I hate to go back to pressing pants.
01:07:11Well, why not peddle subscriptions?
01:07:14You know, the American Girl, the Lady's Home Companion.
01:07:18Could I interest you in a subscription to the Lady's Home Companion, sir?
01:07:21Not me, Abraham. I am the Lady's Home Companion.
01:07:32Abraham!
01:07:34Yes, sir.
01:07:35Yes, sir.
01:07:48Ready, Martin?
01:07:50Never mind the Martin. Just call me Dummy.
01:07:53Right.
