00:01:26And so, the pages turn, and your school days are over.

00:01:32To you, they have been a small, and we hope happy, lifetime.

00:01:38But to us, they have been more like the miracle of a minute.

00:01:42The mischievous, loving children who came to us four years ago

00:01:46now leave us as charming young ladies to face the challenge of life.

00:01:53With all the happiness and victories,

00:01:56and even the disappointments it has in store for you.

00:02:00No senior class has ever set a higher standard for succeeding ones to follow.

00:02:05And I only hope that now, when you go home to friends and family,

00:02:10you will carry with you all the courage and idealism

00:02:15and the sportsmanship that have made us all so proud.

00:02:20To be associated with this graduating class.

00:02:24Goodbye, girls.

00:02:27Good luck.

00:02:29God bless you.

00:02:31Good luck.

00:02:33God bless you.

00:03:09♪

00:03:13I can't find mine either.

00:03:15At a time like this, I'd have sense enough to stay put.

00:03:17Oh, there they are!

00:03:18Oh, Connie! You've got to meet Mother and Dad.

00:03:22Mother, Dad, this is Connie.

00:03:24Oh, we are so glad to meet you, Connie, after all Masha's written.

00:03:27She gave you quite a build-up.

00:03:29Well, look at her. She's top sass, and you ought to hear her sing.

00:03:32Honestly, when she hits a high note, it sends chills up and down your back.

00:03:36That is that, eh?

00:03:37Where are your father and mother, Connie? We'd like to meet them.

00:03:39My parents are dead, Mr. Clark.

00:03:41Oh, I'm sorry.

00:03:43Mother, I have a wonderful idea.

00:03:45Why can't Connie come with us and spend the summer?

00:03:47Could you, Connie? We'd be so pleased.

00:03:50It's very kind of you, but I have an aunt and uncle in New York,

00:03:53and I'm going to live with them.

00:03:54You see, it's all been arranged that way.

00:03:56Her uncle is James F. Clinton.

00:03:58You know him, Dad.

00:03:59I owe everything to Uncle Jim.

00:04:00This school, my music, everything.

00:04:03I couldn't disappoint him.

00:04:04No, of course not.

00:04:05Jim Clinton, eh?

00:04:07Well, you're a very lucky girl. He's a fine man.

00:04:09Oh, yes, he is.

00:04:10Isn't it his daughter we read so much about?

00:04:12Yes, that's Barbara.

00:04:13She's a year older than I am.

00:04:15Oh, and she's beautiful.

00:04:16Did you see her picture in the magazine?

00:04:18She has a picture in every...

00:04:19Miss Constance Hardy?

00:04:21Yes.

00:04:22Miss Constance Butler.

00:04:23We've called for you in the car.

00:04:25Then they're here.

00:04:26Oh, no.

00:04:27Excuse me, please.

00:04:28They're not here.

00:04:29I'm sorry, but only the chauffeur and I are here.

00:04:33Then they didn't come?

00:04:34No, miss, they were very busy.

00:04:37Of course, they couldn't leave New York, could they?

00:04:40No, miss.

00:04:44I'll... I'll be back in a few minutes.

00:04:46Very good, miss.

00:04:47If you'd be so kind as to show me where the car is, please.

00:04:49That's the car over there, miss.

00:04:51The black car with the white wheels.

00:04:56I'll go and get my bag.

00:04:57Very good, miss.

00:05:00Connie.

00:05:02Connie.

00:05:03They didn't come?

00:05:04No.

00:05:05Oh, Connie, change your mind.

00:05:06Spend the summer with us on the lake.

00:05:08We have a house...

00:05:09I'd love to, Marcia.

00:05:10Really, I would, but they've done so much for me.

00:05:13You know?

00:05:18Connie, when you go to New York, listen, there's a boy...

00:05:20I have to hurry.

00:05:21Where do you think you're going, young lady?

00:05:23I have to go up and change my clothes.

00:05:24Oh, no, you don't.

00:05:25Oh, you promised to sing.

00:05:26But, Tony, I can't.

00:05:27Hey, what do you think of that girl?

00:05:28She refuses to sing for us.

00:05:29Oh, it's the last time.

00:05:31Let's go to the music room.

00:05:32Come on.

00:05:35Yes?

00:05:36What is it?

00:05:37May we use the piano, Miss Wiggins?

00:05:39What for?

00:05:40Connie's going to sing for us.

00:05:43All right.

00:05:44Go ahead.

00:05:45Miss Wiggins says it's all right.

00:05:47Come on.

00:05:48I don't feel like singing.

00:05:50Oh, temperamental, eh?

00:05:52Say, what about that big girl?

00:05:53Is all those your favorite butterflies?

00:05:55No, I...

00:05:56Anything you like.

00:05:57Home sweet home, for instance.

00:05:59All right.

00:06:01All right.

00:06:12Lead pleasures and palaces

00:06:24Though we may roam

00:06:32It ever so humble

00:06:41There's no place like home

00:06:50A charm from the skies

00:06:58Seems to hallow us there

00:07:08Which, sick to the world

00:07:15Is now met with our swell

00:07:26Home, home

00:07:35Sweet, sweet home

00:07:43There's no place like home

00:08:01Connie.

00:08:03What is it, Connie?

00:08:05That's funny.

00:08:06Connie never cries.

00:08:08I'm sorry.

00:08:11Don't you feel well?

00:08:14Get out.

00:08:15Go on, out.

00:08:25What's all this?

00:08:29Look up here.

00:08:35What's the matter with you?

00:08:37Nothing.

00:08:40Everybody's going home.

00:08:42And...

00:08:43And?

00:08:45And I'm leaving mine.

00:08:49I thought so.

00:08:51Crying your eyes out

00:08:53just because you don't have a home of your own to go to.

00:08:56Or a mother and father to tell you how pretty and clever you are.

00:09:02Poor little thing.

00:09:03You've just got a voice

00:09:05that comes to one in a million

00:09:07straight from God to you.

00:09:10To you alone.

00:09:12And you sit there feeling sorry for yourself.

00:09:14Yes, you are.

00:09:15Sorry for yourself.

00:09:17If I were that kind of girl, do you know what I'd do?

00:09:19I'd stick my tongue out at myself.

00:09:20Right there.

00:09:21Bam!

00:09:31Get away, get away.

00:09:32It's always been so wonderful to me, Miss Wiggins.

00:09:38Oh, you go on up there to New York

00:09:40and make those people love you as much as we do.

00:09:44And then maybe someday you'll meet a prince.

00:09:48And you'll live happily ever after.

00:09:50Hmm?

00:09:51Those fairy stories haven't come true

00:09:53for over a hundred years, Miss Wiggins.

00:09:56Fiddlesticks.

00:09:58You just have to dust them off,

00:10:00streamline them a bit.

00:10:02They'd still be fairy stories, wouldn't they?

00:10:05That's all life is.

00:10:06A fairy story.

00:10:07The trouble with you young people

00:10:09is you don't believe in anything.

00:10:10You're afraid.

00:10:11Afraid of hope.

00:10:12Afraid of happiness.

00:10:14What's New York?

00:10:15It's just another town.

00:10:16It's no bigger than you are.

00:10:17Go there and laugh in it, love in it, live in it.

00:10:20Make it yours.

00:10:32Hold it, Miss Clinton.

00:10:39No, boy.

00:10:40Hold it, Miss Clinton.

00:10:43No, boy, come on.

00:10:46Hold it, Miss Clinton.

00:10:50Hold it, Miss Clinton.

00:10:54Isn't that wonderful?

00:10:56Right in the middle of the air.

00:10:58What's wonderful about it?

00:10:59It's like you were a bird.

00:11:00It's terrible.

00:11:01Throw that white bathing suit out.

00:11:02It's like a flower sack.

00:11:03Yes, miss.

00:11:04Get my comb.

00:11:05Yes, miss.

00:11:06Send that editor a telegram telling him he's a darling

00:11:08for putting me on the cover.

00:11:09May I fix that spangle now, Miss Barbara?

00:11:11You should have done it before I put the dress on.

00:11:12But it wasn't loose then.

00:11:13Well, hurry up.

00:11:14Comb these curls out.

00:11:15Yes, Miss Barbara.

00:11:16I'll leave.

00:11:17It's finished.

00:11:18It's all finished.

00:11:19Just one more.

00:11:20Can you hold just a little still, please?

00:11:21Give me that comb.

00:11:22You can pull on it.

00:11:23It won't come off.

00:11:24I didn't want to hurt you, Miss Barbara.

00:11:26Get my perfume.

00:11:27Yes, miss.

00:11:28Is mother ready?

00:11:29Yes, I got her done an hour ago.

00:11:30What's she wearing?

00:11:31A new one from Hendricks.

00:11:32What's it like?

00:11:33You don't have to worry, miss.

00:11:34It's nothing like yours.

00:11:35Which one did you say, Miss Barbara?

00:11:37Clair de lune bleu.

00:11:38Yes, clair de lune bleu.

00:11:39Bleu.

00:11:40Bleu.

00:11:41Bleu.

00:11:42Bleu.

00:11:43That isn't right, but you're getting warm.

00:11:44Oh, thank you, miss.

00:11:45Here's your coat, Miss Barbara.

00:11:46All right, bring it along.

00:11:47Which flowers would you like, Miss Barbara?

00:11:49I don't care.

00:11:50Any of them.

00:11:51I think these would look very nice on you.

00:11:53They're terrible.

00:11:54Give me the gardenias.

00:11:55Yes, Miss Barbara.

00:11:56Call me at noon tomorrow.

00:11:57Be sure that I get up.

00:11:58Yes, Miss Barbara.

00:11:59And you call that Swedish girl.

00:12:00Foot massage in the morning.

00:12:01You shouldn't dance so much, Miss Barbara.

00:12:03If Mr. Logan calls, tell him to call back.

00:12:05If Mr. Patton calls, tell him I have smallpox.

00:12:07Yes, miss.

00:12:08A headache for Mr. Patton.

00:12:10Where's my bag?

00:12:11Oh, I forgot it.

00:12:12Well, get it.

00:12:15Mother, I'm ready.

00:12:16Where's Mother, Walter?

00:12:18Are you ready?

00:12:19All but one cuff link.

00:12:21Mother, please.

00:12:22Oh, my darling child.

00:12:25You look so sweet.

00:12:28And that color's so good for you, too.

00:12:30Oh, maybe you're good for the color.

00:12:31I always say the woman makes the clothes.

00:12:33Mother, let's get started.

00:12:34Even Walter's ready.

00:12:36All ready and raring to go.

00:12:37But we can't go for quite a while yet.

00:12:39Oh, good.

00:12:40What's the matter now?

00:12:41Well, George and Terry aren't back

00:12:42with your cousin Constance yet.

00:12:43And they have the car.

00:12:44Well, let's take one of the other cars.

00:12:45Which one, my dear?

00:12:46The sedan is waiting for your father at his office.

00:12:48My little town car is in the garage

00:12:50having an oil treatment or whatever you call those things.

00:12:52And the big town car we can't use

00:12:53because the second chauffeur's off today.

00:12:55You know, the one who was born in February.

00:12:56What's his name?

00:12:57Nick for Nicholas.

00:12:59This is terrible.

00:13:00I can't be more than an hour and a half

00:13:01late for Wilma's party.

00:13:02She's one of my personal friends.

00:13:03Why did that child have to graduate today?

00:13:05Oh, but graduations are important.

00:13:07Well, what's much more important to me

00:13:08is that Wilma will think I'm deliberately

00:13:10sabotaging her party.

00:13:11Oh.

00:13:12Well, if that's the case, perhaps we'd better take a taxi.

00:13:14That's idiotic.

00:13:15No one can get comfortable in a taxi.

00:13:17If you'd learned to drive, we wouldn't have to ride in them.

00:13:20Driving is work.

00:13:21Not as much work as walking, perhaps, but still work.

00:13:25Walter, you came that close to making an epigram.

00:13:28Here they are, Miss Barbara.

00:13:30This one matches everything.

00:13:31Doesn't match anything.

00:13:32Throw it out.

00:13:33Now run outside and see if you can find a taxi.

00:13:35Yes, ma'am.

00:13:36Can you whistle, Agnes?

00:13:37You mean like this?

00:13:39Don't ever do that, Agnes.

00:13:41Well, I'm sorry.

00:13:42Will you please get that cab?

00:13:43Yes, ma'am.

00:13:44Get my coat, please.

00:13:45In the future, I hope someone will have enough sense

00:13:47to keep at least one chauffeur around here.

00:13:49Ditto.

00:13:50Now, now, it's all mother's fault, I know.

00:13:52But really, here they are.

00:13:58Hello.

00:13:59Where have you been?

00:14:00I'm sorry we're so late, Miss Barbara.

00:14:01We had a flat tire, ma'am.

00:14:02A flat tire on an $8,000 automobile?

00:14:04Impossible.

00:14:05We almost had to take a taxi.

00:14:07I'm very sorry, Mr. Bolton.

00:14:09You tell me all about that flat tire in the morning, Terry.

00:14:11Yes, ma'am, but I thought I'd...

00:14:12When you're going touring again,

00:14:13be sure there's somebody here to drive for us.

00:14:15Yes, ma'am.

00:14:16Oh, Mrs. Clinton, your flowers.

00:14:18What's the matter with my...

00:14:20Connie!

00:14:22Hello.

00:14:23Oh, my baby, I'm so glad to see you.

00:14:27Barbara, you haven't said a word to Connie.

00:14:29Hello, Connie.

00:14:30So happy you managed to get here.

00:14:32Walter, what have you to say to your cousin?

00:14:35Hi.

00:14:36Hello.

00:14:37We have to run.

00:14:38Some friends are waiting.

00:14:39We don't want to be late,

00:14:40but I'll cast your horoscope the first thing in the morning.

00:14:42Do you still sing?

00:14:43Yes, I do.

00:14:44Oh, I don't know why.

00:14:45And George, the minute Mr. Clinton comes in,

00:14:47be sure and tell him...

00:14:48By the time we get there,

00:14:49there won't be a photographer left.

00:14:51Goodbye, Connie.

00:14:52Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye.

00:14:58I'll show you to your room, miss.

00:15:02Please come this way.

00:15:08What time do you think Uncle Jim will be home?

00:15:10You mean Mr. Clinton, miss?

00:15:11Yes.

00:15:12The goings and comings of this family are none of my affair.

00:15:15But I might say,

00:15:16if they're out, Mr. Clinton usually is here.

00:15:18If they're here, Mr. Clinton usually is out.

00:15:23This way, miss.

00:15:28Here's your room, miss.

00:15:40Shall I put the window down, miss?

00:15:42Mm-hmm.

00:15:43I said, shall I put the window down?

00:15:45No, thank you.

00:15:46It's all right.

00:15:47May I help you unpack, miss?

00:15:49I think I can do it myself.

00:15:51Will there be anything else?

00:15:52No, thank you.

00:15:53Very well, miss.

00:15:54There'll be nothing else.

00:15:56Very well, miss.

00:15:57There'll be a light supper served in the dining room

00:15:59just as soon as you are ready for it, miss.

00:16:01No, thank you.

00:16:02But surely you'll want something.

00:16:04I don't feel like eating.

00:16:06Very well, miss.

00:16:26Did you see what I said, Miss Roberts?

00:16:32I'll take you.

00:16:53Are you all right?

00:16:56Pardon me, miss.

00:16:58Supper already?

00:16:59You certainly do things quickly around here, don't you?

00:17:01I thought you said...

00:17:02Well, I'll be down as soon as I've changed.

00:17:04Certainly, miss.

00:17:05And don't make that supper too light. I'm famished!

00:17:09Some more chicken, miss?

00:17:10Oh, I couldn't really.

00:17:11Are you sure, miss?

00:17:12Oh, yes.

00:17:13Very good, miss.

00:17:15There is another little piece of white meat.

00:17:18Yes, there is another little piece of white meat, miss.

00:17:20I know what you're thinking.

00:17:21I hope not, miss.

00:17:22You're wondering if I always change my mind.

00:17:24I'll get your hot chocolate, miss.

00:17:26Oh, I don't want any, thank you.

00:17:28Will that be all, then, miss?

00:17:29Mm-hmm.

00:17:30Very good, miss.

00:17:34Do you think if one makes up one's mind about doing something,

00:17:36that that really helps one to do it?

00:17:38Indubitably, miss.

00:17:39Well, here's what I mean.

00:17:40I made up my mind that I like this house,

00:17:42and I like everybody in it,

00:17:43and everybody in it's going to like me.

00:17:44Very cheerful thought, miss.

00:17:46They didn't have to have me come here to live with them

00:17:48if they didn't want me, did they?

00:17:49No, miss, they did not.

00:17:50My Uncle Jim asked me to come here.

00:17:51So Mrs. Clinton told me, miss.

00:17:53Say, don't you ever smile.

00:17:54I'm sorry, miss, but if I may say so,

00:17:56gay butlers are a trifle rare.

00:18:00Do you like singing?

00:18:03Yes, I do, miss, and no, I don't, if you know what I mean.

00:18:06I'm sorry.

00:18:07Either you do or you don't.

00:18:09Well, it's this way, miss.

00:18:10Some people consider

00:18:11boop, boop, diddum, daddum, waddum, choo,

00:18:14an inspiring cantata.

00:18:16My preference is for something above that, miss.

00:18:18Oh.

00:18:20I'm sorry, miss.

00:18:21I'm sorry, too.

00:18:51Amapola, l'inesima Amapola

00:18:56Sarà sempre mia, la tua sola

00:19:02Io ti chiedo, mara linda mia

00:19:08Igual chiamo la flora la luce del dia

00:19:14Amapola, l'inesima Amapola

00:19:20Ma sei assol'ingrasa come me

00:19:27Amapola, Amapola

00:19:37Come quelle scuri verte del cielo

00:19:44Amapola, l'inesima Amapola

00:19:50Sarà sempre mia, la tua sola

00:19:55Io ti chiedo, mara linda mia

00:20:00Igual chiamo la flora la luce del dia

00:20:05Amapola, l'inesima Amapola

00:20:10Ma sei assol'ingrasa come me

00:20:17Amapola, Amapola

00:20:26Come quelle scuri verte del cielo

00:20:41You're Connie, huh?

00:20:44Yes, Uncle Jim, I...

00:20:46Well, what seems to be the trouble?

00:20:48Well, it's my fault.

00:20:49I'm very sorry, sir, but...

00:20:50I thought everybody was out.

00:20:52They are, Elton.

00:20:53They are?

00:20:54Yes, sir.

00:20:55Good.

00:20:56See that there's no more noise until they get in then.

00:20:59Very well, sir.

00:21:06Uncle Jim?

00:21:07Uncle Jim?

00:21:09Uncle Jim?

00:21:11I...

00:21:14I just wanted to thank you for everything.

00:21:17No thanks necessary.

00:21:19You've done so much for me and...

00:21:21Oh, I signed a few checks.

00:21:22I do that all the time.

00:21:23My sister's child, we always take care of our own.

00:21:26Like to do it.

00:21:27And I like being here too, Uncle Jim.

00:21:29You like being here?

00:21:30Uh-huh.

00:21:31You met your cousin?

00:21:32Yes.

00:21:33You met your Aunt Grace?

00:21:34Yes.

00:21:35And you like being here?

00:21:36Oh, yes.

00:21:39She likes being here.

00:21:42She likes being here.

00:21:51Is there anything you want before you go to bed, child?

00:21:54We've got a big watermelon in the icebox.

00:21:57No, thank you.

00:21:58Don't start taking them too seriously, miss.

00:22:01You'll get used to them.

00:22:02Sure.

00:22:03We did.

00:22:05Good night.

00:22:06Good night, miss.

00:22:07And pleasant dreams.

00:22:18Good afternoon, Miss Barbara.

00:22:20I've been waiting for you to wake up.

00:22:22Your pictures are in all the morning papers.

00:22:26What time is it?

00:22:27It's a little after two.

00:22:29Which kind?

00:22:30I brought orange juice, tomato juice,

00:22:32grapefruit and grape.

00:22:33Sauerkraut.

00:22:34Oh, I never seem to be able to guess.

00:22:36I might have known you'd be in the mood for sauerkraut today.

00:22:39When Mr. Drake called, I told him.

00:22:41Who called?

00:22:42Mr. Drake.

00:22:43He called twice.

00:22:44Why didn't you wake me up?

00:22:45Well, I tried to both times.

00:22:47You did not.

00:22:48Oh, yes, I did.

00:22:49The pillow the first time, and then you threw

00:22:51the alarm clock the second time.

00:22:53Where'd he call from?

00:22:54Right here.

00:22:55He just got back in town.

00:22:56What'd he say?

00:22:57He just said he was going over to the club

00:22:59and wanted you to go ride him.

00:23:00He and Miss Florey and Miss Van Everett

00:23:01and a lot of people, and they were leaving at 2.30 sharp.

00:23:03Never be able to get there by 2.30.

00:23:05Couldn't you telephone him and ask him to wait?

00:23:07And make him think I'm running after him?

00:23:09I'd run after him.

00:23:10The papers say he's the catch of the season.

00:23:12If I could only stop him from leaving till I get there.

00:23:14I have an idea how to stop him, Miss Barber.

00:23:16You'd call me when he phoned.

00:23:17You wouldn't need any of your ideas.

00:23:19But it's a good idea, Miss Barber.

00:23:20Really, it is.

00:23:21I'm sure it is.

00:23:22I'd hurry out to the club, see Mr. Drake, and think.

00:23:24That would stop him.

00:23:25Have this shine.

00:23:26Or I could throw myself out of the window

00:23:29Or I could throw myself under his horse's hoof.

00:23:31It wouldn't hurt me.

00:23:32I wouldn't mind doing it for you because I...

00:23:34Get that cousin of mine.

00:23:35Yes, Miss.

00:23:36If she isn't here by the time I count ten, you're fired.

00:23:38Yes, Miss.

00:23:43Miss Connie.

00:23:44What is it?

00:23:45Miss Barber wants you this minute.

00:23:46Please hurry.

00:23:47Yes, all right, Agnes.

00:23:49Miss Connie will be right in.

00:23:50Oh, I am?

00:23:51Oh, you are.

00:23:53Never mind.

00:23:59Yes, Barbera?

00:24:00I want you to do something for me.

00:24:01Some friends of mine are going riding at the country club in a half hour.

00:24:03And I want you to delay their start till I get there.

00:24:05Understand?

00:24:06You mean stop them?

00:24:07Yes, at least stop Ted Drake.

00:24:09But I don't even know him.

00:24:10Well, you know what he looks like.

00:24:11No.

00:24:12Only the most notable young man in New York.

00:24:14You must have seen his picture.

00:24:15I don't think so.

00:24:16Well, you'll find one in that drawer.

00:24:19Which one?

00:24:20The top drawer.

00:24:22In the dresser?

00:24:23Yes, in the dresser.

00:24:24Just open it.

00:24:25You'll find it.

00:24:26I don't see any picture here.

00:24:28Oh, you don't see any picture.

00:24:29I told you it was there.

00:24:30Why don't you look for it?

00:24:32What do you think this is?

00:24:33Oh, Agnes.

00:24:34Then please hurry.

00:24:36Well, what'll I say to him?

00:24:37I don't care what you say, as long as you keep him there.

00:24:40And be sure he doesn't know I sent you.

00:24:43I don't think I can do it, Barbera.

00:24:45All right, don't then.

00:24:47Oh, I mean...

00:24:48After all this family's done for you,

00:24:49the first time we ask you to do something for us, you refuse.

00:24:53Well, I'll do it then.

00:24:54Well, I'll do it then, but...

00:24:56I don't know what to do.

00:24:57Fade and make him revive you.

00:24:58Fall in front of him.

00:24:59Steal his horse.

00:25:00I don't care what you do, as long as he's there when I get there.

00:25:02And hurry!

00:25:08Off a little stroll, Miss Connell?

00:25:09Oh, yes.

00:25:10I mean, no.

00:25:11Oh, I'll need the car.

00:25:12Oh, and the hat.

00:25:13I left it in there.

00:25:14I'll get the car, Miss Connell.

00:25:15Thank you, will you?

00:25:16I'm in an awful hurry.

00:25:17Why?

00:25:18I have to stop Ted Briggs' horse at the country club for Barbera.

00:25:19Oh, not his horse.

00:25:20Him, but he'll be on it.

00:25:21You know what I mean.

00:25:22Oh, perfectly.

00:25:23Well, I have to run now.

00:25:24Goodbye.

00:25:25Connie, give me a cigarette, please.

00:25:27Yes, a cigarette.

00:25:29When were you born, Connie?

00:25:30December the 4th.

00:25:31Sagittarius.

00:25:33Oh, how interesting.

00:25:34What time of day?

00:25:35Oh, I don't remember.

00:25:37I'm going to do your horoscope for you,

00:25:38so hurry back and I'll tell you all about yourself.

00:25:41Here's a cigarette.

00:25:47You'd better wait here.

00:25:48They might recognize the car.

00:25:49I'll keep the motor running

00:25:50in case we have to make a quick getaway.

00:25:51Thank you, Terry.

00:25:52I'm awfully nervous.

00:25:53Don't worry.

00:25:54Mr. Drake, are the horses ready, Dan?

00:25:56Yes, sir.

00:25:57All 13 of them.

00:25:5813?

00:25:59Bad luck.

00:26:00Oh, but we're not superstitious, are we?

00:26:01Oh, let's wait for Barbera.

00:26:02Sure.

00:26:03It's all a little after 2.30.

00:26:04Let's go.

00:26:05Barbera's a dear, but if we wait for her,

00:26:06we'll have to make this a moonlight ride.

00:26:07She'll probably just arrive by the time we get back.

00:26:08All right.

00:26:09Let's go.

00:26:10Well, I think if we go off with her,

00:26:11it'll be good for her.

00:26:12Giddy, giddy, giddy.

00:26:13I still think we should wait for Barbera.

00:26:14Of course.

00:26:15Of course.

00:26:16Of course.

00:26:17Uh.

00:26:18Uh.

00:26:22Hey!

00:26:23Barbera know about this trip you're taking?

00:26:24I didn't even tell her family about it till this morning.

00:26:25When do you leave?

00:26:26About a month.

00:26:27We don't start up the Amazon in late September.

00:26:28The Amazon's a river, isn't it?

00:26:29Named after a certain tribe of women.

00:26:30Women?

00:26:31Well, that's what's behind this expedition.

00:26:32Barbera will be thrilled when she hears about this.

00:26:33Are you with us?

00:26:34No, I'm not with anybody.

00:26:35I'm alone.

00:26:36How cozy.

00:26:37Mr. Kirkpatrick!

00:26:38Wanted on the telephone!

00:26:39Mr. Kirkpatrick!

00:26:40Wanted on the telephone!

00:26:41Mr. Kirkpatrick!

00:26:42Wanted on the telephone!

00:26:43Mr. Kirkpatrick!

00:26:44Wanted on the telephone!

00:26:45Mr. Kirkpatrick!

00:26:46Wanted on the telephone!

00:26:48Mr. Kirkpatrick!

00:26:49Wanted on the telephone!

00:26:54All right, Willie.

00:26:55I'll take it.

00:26:56Yes, sir.

00:26:57Won't be a minute.

00:27:06Mr. Drake!

00:27:07Wanted on the telephone!

00:27:11That must be Barbara.

00:27:12Maybe it's Dad.

00:27:13You go on along.

00:27:14Oh, we'll wait.

00:27:15No, no.

00:27:16You go ahead.

00:27:17I'll meet you at the Willows.

00:27:18Don't be long.

00:27:19I won't.

00:27:41Don't be afraid.

00:27:42I'm not going to hurt you.

00:27:43I just want to undo this.

00:27:45No, I'm not going to hurt you.

00:27:46See?

00:27:47Sugar.

00:27:48Sugar.

00:27:49See?

00:27:50I just want to undo this.

00:27:51See?

00:27:52There.

00:27:53That's it.

00:27:54Come on, get the sugar now.

00:27:55Come on.

00:27:56Got some more in here.

00:27:57You can have that when you get to the barn.

00:27:58Here.

00:27:59See the sugar?

00:28:00Now, come on.

00:28:01Come on, get the sugar.

00:28:02See, I have a whole lot of it here.

00:28:03And you can have it all if you just come to the barn.

00:28:04Come on.

00:28:08Now, come on.

00:28:09Come on, I got some more for you.

00:28:10You like sugar, don't you?

00:28:12So do I.

00:28:13Come on.

00:28:14Come on, get the sugar.

00:28:15That's a good horsey.

00:28:17Come on.

00:28:18Come on.

00:28:19Say, did you call me to the phone?

00:28:20No, Mr. Drake.

00:28:21Well, there's nobody on it, and somebody called.

00:28:23I'm sorry, sir.

00:28:24What's going on with that horse?

00:28:27Come on.

00:28:28Come on, I got some more for you.

00:28:29Come on, there's lots more where this came from.

00:28:31Come on.

00:28:32Come on, there.

00:28:33That's it.

00:28:34I don't like my horse to have sugar.

00:28:35Oh, well, he likes it.

00:28:36Here.

00:28:39Hey, Sherlock, come here, boy.

00:28:40Hey.

00:28:42Hey, Sherlock, come here.

00:28:43Hey.

00:28:44Hey, Sherlock, here.

00:28:46Come back here.

00:28:47Here, fella, take this.

00:28:53Hey.

00:29:00Come on, the horse is having enough trouble with this jump

00:29:02without looking out for you.

00:29:03Oh, Chasenly.

00:29:05Listen, Chasen, you are chasing a horse, not that way.

00:29:07Look out.

00:29:09Get out of here before another horse takes after you.

00:29:12What are you trying to do, kill yourself?

00:29:15Between stuffing my horse with sugar

00:29:17and making yourself a steeplechase hat,

00:29:18you've had a pretty busy day, haven't you?

00:29:20If one of those jumpers had been short out there,

00:29:21you'd really have something to worry about.

00:29:23Now, run along and try and keep out of mischief.

00:29:35Oh, come on, you're all right now.

00:29:38Put your handkerchief in there.

00:29:39Let me get it for you.

00:29:40It's nothing.

00:29:41It's just the natural reactant.

00:29:47This white horse is an awful lot.

00:29:48No, I don't.

00:29:49I just...

00:29:50You carry a lot of sugar around for them, then.

00:29:52Oh, that...

00:29:53Could you show me the way out of here, please?

00:29:55You can get out the same way you got in.

00:29:56I'm sorry, I've got some friends waiting.

00:29:58But it'd only take a few minutes.

00:29:59I'm a little dizzy.

00:30:00Well, that young lady is a masterpiece of understatement.

00:30:04You're the dizz...

00:30:09Oh, I wonder what's happened to her.

00:30:11Well, that's fine.

00:30:13Go on in.

00:30:14You're thirsty.

00:30:15Ted!

00:30:19What are you doing?

00:30:20This kid's fainted.

00:30:21She had a bad scare.

00:30:22You get some water.

00:30:23I'll take care of her.

00:30:24Who is she?

00:30:25I don't know.

00:30:26You'd better run down to the barn and get some water.

00:30:27All right, I'll be right back.

00:30:32All right, thanks.

00:30:34You're welcome.

00:30:35You didn't have to kill yourself.

00:30:36But you told me to keep him here, Barbara.

00:30:38I didn't tell you to hang on his neck.

00:30:40Oh, but I didn't.

00:30:41He just held me up.

00:30:42All right, now go on home and don't let anybody see you.

00:30:44Well, I just wanted to thank him.

00:30:46He was awfully nice.

00:30:47Do you want to spoil everything now?

00:30:49Oh, no, no, but I...

00:30:50Then get out of here before he gets back and hurry up.

00:30:52But Barbara, if you'd only just let me see him.

00:30:54Will you do what you're told for a change?

00:30:58But I only want to thank him, Barbara.

00:30:59All right, Barbara, now go on home before he sees you again.

00:31:01But...

00:31:03Will you get my horse out, Frankie?

00:31:05Yes, Miss Clifton, right away.

00:31:06What's happened to our patient?

00:31:07Oh, that little brat.

00:31:08The minute you left, she ran off like a rabbit.

00:31:10She's a funny kid.

00:31:12Who do you think she is?

00:31:13You mean to say you don't know?

00:31:14Now, wait a minute.

00:31:15The first time I ever saw her in my life

00:31:16was when I caught her feeding sugar to my horse.

00:31:18I like your story.

00:31:19Your trouble is girls just will chase you around.

00:31:21Hello, Wilma.

00:31:22Barbara, I'm so glad you finally got here.

00:31:24The gang went on, Ted.

00:31:25I'll get my horse and be right back.

00:31:27You look lovely.

00:31:29What's going on, Ted?

00:31:30I'll get my horse and be right back.

00:31:32You look lovely, Barb.

00:31:33If I slept this late, I'd be a sight.

00:31:35You're priceless, Wilma.

00:31:36You always look the same no matter what you do.

00:31:38Mademoiselle Bristol says that whenever she gives me a facial.

00:31:40You ought to try her for that frown.

00:31:41She's marvelous taking bad lines out.

00:31:43She must be miraculous.

00:31:44She is.

00:31:45You'd be surprised what she can do for your nerves.

00:31:47That's where you plump people are lucky.

00:31:48You have no nerves.

00:31:49Here you are, Miss Clifton.

00:31:51Be careful, dear.

00:31:52That hat might make him a little skittish.

00:31:54Oh, don't worry about the general.

00:31:55He has better taste than most people.

00:31:57Horses always know more than their riders.

00:31:59Which path will we take, girls?

00:32:00The upper one is shorter.

00:32:01But I'm afraid there are too many jumps for Barbara.

00:32:03Oh, don't worry about me.

00:32:04The upper road is at least 10 minutes faster.

00:32:06Ted and I'll accept that challenge.

00:32:07We'll take the lower one and race you there.

00:32:09Come on, Ted.

00:32:10All right, let's go.

00:32:11Careful of those jumps, dear.

00:32:24Barbara, how nice of you to hurry home for tea.

00:32:26Tea?

00:32:27Who wants tea?

00:32:28My dear pet, what happened to you?

00:32:30Wilma Van Everett.

00:32:31Well, what did little Wilma do?

00:32:33Little Wilma?

00:32:34I'd like to kill little Wilma.

00:32:35Well, what did she do to you, dear?

00:32:36Something horrible, I trust.

00:32:38She just succeeded in making herself utterly ridiculous

00:32:40in front of everybody at the club this afternoon.

00:32:42Acting like such a fool over Ted Drake,

00:32:44it almost made me ill.

00:32:45That's terrible.

00:32:46Put them there, Connie, please.

00:32:47All right.

00:32:48You certainly covered yourself with glory today.

00:32:50Well, I only tried to be...

00:32:51You tried brilliantly.

00:32:52Never mind.

00:32:53Never mind.

00:32:54I'll tell you a story, Barbara.

00:32:55You wouldn't believe it unless you were there.

00:32:56I would.

00:32:57She only advertised to everybody present

00:32:59that she was head over heels in love with Ted Drake.

00:33:01That's silly.

00:33:02It was revolting.

00:33:03Why?

00:33:04Girls do fall in love with Ted all the time.

00:33:06You don't know what you're talking about.

00:33:07She only just met him.

00:33:08Love at first sight.

00:33:09I've read about it.

00:33:10It's very rare.

00:33:11A Leo and Sagittarius might do it

00:33:13if Saturn were in accord.

00:33:15Let this be her birthday at December the 4th.

00:33:17How do you know?

00:33:19I certainly shouldn't.

00:33:20Oh, you know her, do you?

00:33:22Well, what do you know?

00:33:23Everybody knows Wilma Van Everett.

00:33:25She gets twice as much publicity as you do.

00:33:27She does not.

00:33:28Does.

00:33:29Mother!

00:33:30Walda!

00:33:31Isn't that strange?

00:33:32That's the same birthday as you have, isn't it, Connie?

00:33:35Yes.

00:33:36Yes, that's right.

00:33:37December the 4th.

00:33:38I'm going to fix Miss Van Everett, all right.

00:33:40I'll see her at the Drake's party.

00:33:42Oh, is the Drake's going to have a party?

00:33:43On the 29th.

00:33:44And by that time, I'll have something

00:33:45very choice figured out.

00:33:46Everybody in town will know about it

00:33:48because everybody's going to be there.

00:33:49Everybody?

00:33:50Connie, what are you going to wear?

00:33:53I, I, to the party you mean?

00:33:55Oh, I haven't been.

00:33:56I'm not going.

00:33:58Am I?

00:33:59Of course you are.

00:34:00Sister just said everybody's going.

00:34:02I haven't any.

00:34:03I'd have to wear.

00:34:05It's formal, isn't it?

00:34:06Barbara's probably got something upstairs

00:34:08in the dress department that'd suit you perfect.

00:34:10How about it, sister?

00:34:11And have people say she's wearing my cast off.

00:34:13We wouldn't want that, would we?

00:34:15No.

00:34:16No, of course not.

00:34:17But I could wear my...

00:34:18Wait a minute.

00:34:19Yes, Connie, you could what?

00:34:20Well, I was just going to mention that I could

00:34:22wear my graduation dress.

00:34:23It's very pretty, and it's long, and white.

00:34:25All white.

00:34:26Well, white's a pretty color.

00:34:27Yes.

00:34:28This isn't a garden party.

00:34:29Well, I, I could make it into an evening dress.

00:34:31I just have to fix the sleeves.

00:34:32See how simple it is?

00:34:33Well, I'll go up now and start figuring out

00:34:35just what to do with it.

00:34:36And thank you.

00:34:37Thank you very much.

00:34:38I took sewing in school, you know.

00:34:40I'll have to fix the skirt a little bit,

00:34:42and, and maybe I can fix the, the neck.

00:34:44Mother, we're not going to drag her to the ball.

00:34:46If she fixes her dress and it looks all right,

00:34:48I'm afraid we'll have to take her now.

00:34:50You can't get out of it.

00:34:51You're very smart, but don't think

00:34:52I'm going to be bothered with her once she gets there.

00:34:54You must be nice to her at the ball, sister.

00:34:56Or people have an excuse to say some of the things

00:34:58they've been thinking about you for years.

00:35:05I'm going to the Drake's Ball.

00:35:07What are you going to do?

00:35:08I'm going to the Drake's Ball.

00:35:09No fooling.

00:35:10Absolutely.

00:35:11See, I have to cut the sleeves out of this, maybe.

00:35:13I have to make this into an evening dress.

00:35:15Does the Duchess know you're going?

00:35:16By breath, certainly.

00:35:17Do you think a tight, loose sash

00:35:18should add enough color to that?

00:35:19They only just told me about it, you know.

00:35:21I didn't dream I was going.

00:35:22Oh, that's wonderful, Miss Connie.

00:35:24I'm so happy for you.

00:35:25Thank you, Agnes.

00:35:26I do want to look pretty when he sees me this time.

00:35:28I mean, when people see me this time.

00:35:30Well, I mean, you know.

00:35:31When who sees you this time?

00:35:33Everybody.

00:35:34Everybody in New York's going to be here.

00:35:36Let me see, what slipper shall I wear?

00:35:38Like who's the he you were just talking about?

00:35:40I didn't mean any particular person.

00:35:41I didn't even mean...

00:35:42Do you think these slippers will be all right?

00:35:43They won't show much with this skirt being long.

00:35:45Maybe if I cut the neckline lower

00:35:46and sort of flare out the skirt.

00:35:48Miss Ollie could tell you.

00:35:49She makes all her own clothes.

00:35:50Do you think she'd mind?

00:35:51Oh, no, Miss Connie.

00:35:52Ollie loves it.

00:35:53I didn't know you knew any he in New York.

00:35:56I didn't know any he.

00:35:57I mean, anybody.

00:35:58Just because you see a person

00:35:59doesn't mean you know a person, does it?

00:36:01Don't it?

00:36:02Certainly not.

00:36:03Let's go ask Ollie about the dress.

00:36:04She's in the kitchen.

00:36:06You know what?

00:36:07Miss Connie's going to the...

00:36:08Yes, George told us.

00:36:09Oh.

00:36:10Oh, they tell you about it?

00:36:11I couldn't help overhearing this,

00:36:12and I must say I'm almost as happy

00:36:13as if I were going myself.

00:36:14Yes, I've never been to a really big party

00:36:15like this before.

00:36:16It'll be a great night for you.

00:36:17Yes, it certainly will.

00:36:18Is that the dress you want to make over?

00:36:20Yes, it is, Ollie.

00:36:21Agnes said you might help me with it.

00:36:22May I put it down here?

00:36:23Yes, put it anywhere, Miss.

00:36:25You see, it still has sleeves in it.

00:36:26I thought maybe if we'd only use the skirt up to here

00:36:28and then make a bodice

00:36:29and then sort of flare the skirt out.

00:36:31Don't mind me.

00:36:32I...

00:36:33I only eat here.

00:36:34That's my brother, Mike.

00:36:35This is Miss Connie.

00:36:36You know.

00:36:37I told you about her singing.

00:36:39How do you do?

00:36:40Go ahead.

00:36:41Don't let me stop the operation.

00:36:42I'm used to blood.

00:36:43Have you any more of this material?

00:36:44No, but I have a yard of silver lace upstairs.

00:36:46Maybe you can use that.

00:36:47Only a yard?

00:36:48Yes, but it's very pretty.

00:36:49I'll run up and get it.

00:36:50It's a yard long and a yard wide,

00:36:51and the design's lovely.

00:36:52You'll see what I mean.

00:36:53It's a good thing it wasn't one of the others

00:36:55that found you here.

00:36:56They would have called the police.

00:36:57Fine crack.

00:36:58Think you can fix it up all right?

00:36:59Well, I can try.

00:37:00I wish the waist was higher.

00:37:01Here, hold this.

00:37:02Gotta look beautiful at that ball

00:37:04for a very special reason.

00:37:05What's his name?

00:37:06What do you think I am, a tattletale?

00:37:08How about Hoops?

00:37:09Never mind the Hoops.

00:37:10You better watch that roast

00:37:11or we'll have a terrible dinner.

00:37:12Oh, my precious.

00:37:13Well done might be all right for the family,

00:37:15but I like my beef rare.

00:37:17Well, what can I do?

00:37:18Why don't you put some feathers on it?

00:37:20How about those things on the shoulders

00:37:21like football players wear?

00:37:23I just don't know what to do.

00:37:25I can tell you.

00:37:26This ought to be good.

00:37:28You take this dress,

00:37:30and first you hide it away,

00:37:32and then you go out

00:37:33and you buy her a whole new outfit.

00:37:35With what?

00:37:36With money.

00:37:37Whose money?

00:37:38My money and your money.

00:37:39And mine too.

00:37:40Count me in.

00:37:41And me?

00:37:42Which only goes to show

00:37:43you don't get nothing for nothing in this world,

00:37:45not even from your own sister.

00:37:47How much?

00:38:00Why, it wasn't hard to do at all, miss.

00:38:02I just bought another yard or two of that place

00:38:04and changed the skirt here and there.

00:38:06Every bit of it seems different.

00:38:08Well, when I remodel a dress, Miss Connie,

00:38:10I really remodel it.

00:38:11The slippers just arrived

00:38:12and I had to bring them up and see how she looked.

00:38:14Well, it's a perfect fit.

00:38:15It's really magnificent.

00:38:16I still can't believe it's the same dress.

00:38:18Wally did a lot of work on it.

00:38:20May I put these on, please?

00:38:22These aren't my slippers.

00:38:24Well, you see,

00:38:25we took them out to a man

00:38:26to have some silver put on,

00:38:27you know, like this.

00:38:28Like dyeing.

00:38:29Yes, and while he was doing it,

00:38:31he spilled it all inside

00:38:32and you couldn't have worn them anyway.

00:38:34So he only did what was right.

00:38:36He got you a new pair.

00:38:37Oh, he shouldn't have done that.

00:38:38He's insured.

00:38:39Do they feel all right?

00:38:40Oh, yes.

00:38:42Well, they're just a little bit new,

00:38:44but they fit perfectly.

00:38:45Come in.

00:38:47I just wanted to see how you looked, Miss.

00:38:49You couldn't even tell it was the same dress.

00:38:50You really look like a picture.

00:38:52I don't see how...

00:38:53Oh, Ollie must have worked day and night to...

00:38:55Oh, turn around a minute.

00:38:56How does the skirt hang?

00:38:57Perfect.

00:38:58Why don't you go in Miss Barbara's room?

00:38:59You can see how you really look.

00:39:01Oh, that's a good idea.

00:39:02I'll be back in a minute.

00:39:03Oh, just a second, Miss.

00:39:04Just a second.

00:39:07Oh, thank you.

00:39:08These just came for you, Miss.

00:39:10Oh, a corsage.

00:39:11How lovely.

00:39:12Who sent it?

00:39:13There wasn't any card in it.

00:39:14Probably some admirer

00:39:15who knew you were going to the ball.

00:39:16Oh, you mean...

00:39:17No.

00:39:19How could he?

00:39:20Oh, I don't think so.

00:39:21But they just match your dress.

00:39:22Now, isn't that nice?

00:39:23Ollie!

00:39:24Oh, I've been expecting that.

00:39:26Ollie, where have you been?

00:39:27Well, I just...

00:39:28I want a large chiffon handkerchief, black.

00:39:29I'll get back the bracelet.

00:39:30Yes, ma'am.

00:39:33Pardon me a minute, Barbara.

00:39:34Excuse me.

00:39:35I just want to see how the skirt hangs in the back.

00:39:37I think it's all right, don't you?

00:39:39What school did you graduate from in that dress?

00:39:41We fixed it all up.

00:39:42You like it?

00:39:43I think the skirt hangs perfectly.

00:39:44Oh, I forgot my locket.

00:39:45I better go get it.

00:39:46You look very nice, too, Barbara.

00:39:48Thanks.

00:39:49Only, I don't think I'd look so good in black.

00:39:51Oh, and you'd better hurry, Barbara.

00:39:53We don't want to be too late.

00:39:56Did you see that?

00:39:57Yes, Miss.

00:39:58I think she looks very nice.

00:39:59What's the matter with her?

00:40:00Is she gone crazy,

00:40:01storming in here patronizing me?

00:40:03Oh, no, Miss Barbara.

00:40:04She's just so thrilled about going to the Drake's and all.

00:40:06She's taking an awful lot for granted.

00:40:08She isn't there yet.

00:40:09Bring my rags.

00:40:10Yes, Miss.

00:40:12Did you hear that?

00:40:13Yes.

00:40:14What'd she say?

00:40:16Mother, are you ready?

00:40:17Yes, dear.

00:40:18I was looking up the stars for tonight,

00:40:19and we're going to have a really marvelous evening.

00:40:21I doubt that.

00:40:22Oh, you mustn't doubt the stars, dear.

00:40:23They control your destiny, whether you like it or not.

00:40:25Oh, are we ready?

00:40:26That's a very smart gown you have on, actually.

00:40:28Oh, thank you.

00:40:29Have you seen my new vest?

00:40:30No, but Connie, it's amazing.

00:40:32My rags.

00:40:33Mother, can we go?

00:40:34Certainly.

00:40:35George, is the car waiting?

00:40:36Yes, Miss Connie.

00:40:37Your secret case.

00:40:38Where did you find it, George?

00:40:39I found it just as Cliff was studying.

00:40:40Oh, dear.

00:40:41Well, I'll leave it next.

00:40:42I hope all of you will come.

00:40:43Have you seen the newspaper?

00:40:44The society page is full of details about the ball.

00:40:46Really?

00:40:47It mentioned the names of all the famous people

00:40:48who were going to be there, and lots of them.

00:40:50It's sure to be a brilliant affair.

00:40:52Oh, yes.

00:40:53I hope they don't just play rumbus.

00:40:54You'd prefer a waltz.

00:40:55I like waltzes.

00:40:56I do, too.

00:40:57So do I.

00:40:58Dreamy ones.

00:40:59My rags.

00:41:00This one, Miss Barbara?

00:41:01No, the other one.

00:41:02Mother, I think I'll wear your pearl bracelet.

00:41:04It goes better with the black dress.

00:41:06Certainly, dear.

00:41:07This isn't mine.

00:41:08It is tonight, Miss.

00:41:09Tomorrow, it goes back in Cousin Egbert's show window.

00:41:11Oh, but really, I just...

00:41:12Miss.

00:41:14If Mr. Clinton comes, tell him we'll be late.

00:41:16Yes, ma'am.

00:41:17Mother, suppose Uncle Jason comes in from Washington tonight,

00:41:19and we're all out.

00:41:20Well, what makes you think he's coming tonight?

00:41:21Oh, nothing, except Aunt Louise said yesterday that he might.

00:41:23She did?

00:41:24Yes.

00:41:25I forgot to tell you about it when she called.

00:41:26Oh, let's all hope he doesn't arrive until tomorrow.

00:41:28But if he does come, and there isn't even one member

00:41:30of the family at home, we'll never hear the end of it.

00:41:32I'll be glad to stay and welcome him, sister.

00:41:34He hates the sight of you.

00:41:35Can't say that I blame him.

00:41:36How about Father?

00:41:37Well, your father won't be home until all hours.

00:41:39Well, it's no great problem.

00:41:40Connie can stay and sing to him or something.

00:41:43You don't mind, do you, Connie?

00:41:44Tonight?

00:41:45Now?

00:41:46Your debts do it, Connie.

00:41:49You mean I... I'm to wait here?

00:41:51Just make our excuses.

00:41:52Then fuss over him when he arrives.

00:41:54No, I...

00:41:56No.

00:41:57No, you're not really going to make me miss the party.

00:41:59You can't.

00:42:00That... that isn't fair.

00:42:02You... you could have told me sooner so I wouldn't plan and...

00:42:06and wait and...

00:42:07You're going to argue about everything we ask you to do, Connie.

00:42:09I'll stay myself.

00:42:10Well, no, you can't do that.

00:42:11The Drakes would be offended.

00:42:13We'll make it up to you, Connie.

00:42:15Barbara, you're only...

00:42:17I sure think you'd be happy to do something for us once in a while.

00:42:20I could have told you a week ago this had happened.

00:42:22Just wanted to see if I guessed right.

00:42:24I did.

00:42:25Night.

00:42:30Harry!

00:42:31Sorry, madam.

00:42:59Harry!

00:43:30All right.

00:43:33I'll stay home.

00:43:36I'll say you will.

00:43:40Going to the ball wasn't my idea in the first place.

00:43:42You were pretty anxious.

00:43:44I like to dance.

00:43:45Is there anything wrong with that?

00:43:46Who would you dance with?

00:43:47Ted Price?

00:43:48Ted Price.

00:43:49Ted Price.

00:43:50Ted Price.

00:43:51Ted Price.

00:43:52Ted Price.

00:43:53Ted Price.

00:43:54Ted Price.

00:43:55Ted Price.

00:43:56Ted Price.

00:43:57Ted Price.

00:43:58Who would you dance with?

00:43:59Ted Drake?

00:44:00Oh, that's silly.

00:44:01Of course it's silly.

00:44:03If that's who you mean.

00:44:04And it's twice as silly to be getting any foolish ideas about him.

00:44:07I'm not getting any foolish ideas.

00:44:10Oh, no?

00:44:11What about that picture you cut out of the newspaper?

00:44:13Who was that?

00:44:14Ted Drake.

00:44:15That's who.

00:44:16Well, I just cut it out.

00:44:18There wasn't any reason for cutting it out.

00:44:21I suppose there isn't any reason for keeping it hidden in that book either.

00:44:24In what book?

00:44:25In what book?

00:44:26In that book.

00:44:28In that book?

00:44:29Now, stop being a silly girl.

00:44:30Get that picture and tear it up and throw it away this very minute.

00:44:34That's just exactly what I'm going to do.

00:44:36I'll throw it away.

00:44:37Here, see?

00:44:39I'm tearing it up.

00:44:40I don't want to hear any more about him or think any more about him

00:44:42or have any more silly ideas about myself or anybody like...

00:44:48Georgia, I didn't know you.

00:44:50I knocked twice, miss, and when I heard you talking to someone,

00:44:53I thought I'd better step in.

00:44:55Well, there's no one in here talking.

00:44:57Oh.

00:44:58Oh, I must have been talking to myself.

00:45:01I'm sorry to interrupt, miss, but everything's been arranged

00:45:04and you're going to the ball after all.

00:45:06I am?

00:45:07Indeed you are, miss.

00:45:08Uncle Jason's still in Washington.

00:45:09Oh, but Aunt Grace said...

00:45:10Well, they'll be there.

00:45:11They won't arrive until midnight, miss.

00:45:13Midnight? Oh, they'll be there long before that.

00:45:15They've been gone for...

00:45:16Oh, no, they won't, miss.

00:45:17Everything's been changed about.

00:45:18You'll be there and back before they even arrive.

00:45:20How will I go, miss?

00:45:21In your car and it's a fitment.

00:45:22Well, who'll take me?

00:45:23You'll have an escort of six white bikes.

00:45:25Six white what?

00:45:26Bikes, miss, the motor police.

00:45:30And there they are, miss.

00:45:35You mean I'm to go with them?

00:45:36They'll get you there before you can see Jack Robinson.

00:45:38Mike told me you were in a hurry.

00:45:39Mike?

00:45:40My brother, miss.

00:45:41These lads worked with him.

00:45:42They even borrowed the commissioner's car.

00:45:44Now, remember, miss,

00:45:45you're not to stay a minute later than 12 o'clock.

00:45:48I won't.

00:45:49And the boys will be waiting for you to bring you back.

00:45:52I... I just want to tell you all how much I appreciate all of you.

00:45:56I'll never forget you.

00:46:01I'll never forget you, Jack.

00:46:02As long as I live.

00:46:03I'll never forget you.

00:46:04I don't think I can live without you.

00:46:06That's all right, miss.

00:46:07You have the time of your life.

00:46:08You have the time of your life.

00:46:10You're 12 o'clock.

00:46:11I'll never forget you.

00:46:13I'll never forget you.

00:46:21I'll never forget you.

00:46:32Everybody gone?

00:46:33Everybody, sir.

00:46:34That's good.

00:46:35What time will they be back?

00:46:36Very late.

00:46:37I'm quite sure, sir.

00:46:38That's good, too.

00:46:39Motorcycle.

00:46:42What'll that family think of next?

00:46:44I really don't know, sir.

00:46:46See that there's no noise around here until they get back.

00:46:48Very well, sir.

00:46:49Will that be all, sir?

00:46:51Police.

00:46:52Escort.

00:46:54Service.

00:46:55No.

00:47:09Well, have you got it or ain't you got it?

00:47:11I know I had it yesterday.

00:47:12I usually keep it in the pocket in the store.

00:47:14I don't want to know anything about your personal habits, fella.

00:47:17All I want is to see the owner's license.

00:47:19Terry, tell the young man we have to go now.

00:47:21Yes, ma'am.

00:47:22I think the whole thing is ridiculous.

00:47:24Maybe it is and maybe it ain't, sister.

00:47:25But I gotta stop all cars of this make and model

00:47:28and see the owner's license or else take him in.

00:47:30This is my father's car.

00:47:31Maybe.

00:47:32Come on.

00:47:33Come on, buddy.

00:47:34You're making a big mistake, officer.

00:47:35This is Mr. Clinton's car.

00:47:36This is Mr. Clinton's family.

00:47:37That ain't my mistake, bud.

00:47:38That's Mr. Clinton's.

00:47:39Now, officer, we can't stay here all night.

00:47:41People are waiting for us and we're all going to a party.

00:47:43Ah, none of that.

00:47:44I gotta work till 2.30.

00:47:45You're being very insolent.

00:47:47I don't think you realize who we are.

00:47:48Oh, yes, I do.

00:47:49Just three people all dressed up riding around in a car

00:47:51you ain't even got an owner's license for.

00:47:53Do we look like the kind of people

00:47:54who would steal an automobile?

00:47:56Why should I answer that and make you sore?

00:47:58You'll pay for this.

00:47:59We know our rights, and when I tell my father

00:48:01what you've done to us...

00:48:02All I know is, lady, that I gotta do my duty

00:48:04and I'm doing it.

00:48:05How do I know that ain't a dead body?

00:48:08Why, that's Walter.

00:48:10Say something to the officer, Walter.

00:48:12Hello.

00:48:14See?

00:48:15He's all right.

00:48:18Could be ventriloquism.

00:48:20Make a move.

00:48:22You think I'm a dummy?

00:48:23I'll pass that question, too, brother.

00:48:25You're being deliberately difficult.

00:48:26You're humiliating us and keeping us here

00:48:28without any cause at all.

00:48:29I wouldn't do that for the world, lady.

00:48:31If you don't want to stay here, we'll go someplace else.

00:48:33Why don't you cut out doing that St. Vitus dance

00:48:35and admit you ain't got it?

00:48:36I guess I left it when I changed uniforms,

00:48:38or I lost it today.

00:48:39I've heard that a million times.

00:48:41May we go now?

00:48:42Right this minute, lady.

00:48:43And just because you've been so nice,

00:48:45let the judge take your case before anybody else,

00:48:47right at 12 o'clock.

00:48:4812 o'clock?

00:48:49We won't go.

00:48:50We'll settle it right here.

00:48:51You're going, sister.

00:48:52Do you want to go in the car,

00:48:54or do you want to go on the bike?

00:48:57Follow me.

00:48:58I could have told you this would happen.

00:48:59I saw it in the stars.

00:49:00You and your stars.

00:49:01You told me this was going to be a perfect evening.

00:49:02I know, and it would have been, except for Venus.

00:49:04You see, my dear, when Venus...

00:49:05Tell it to the judge, mother.

00:49:16Come on, let's go.

00:49:41May I check your wrap, miss?

00:49:42Oh, yes, please do.

00:49:46Your check, miss.

00:49:48Where are you going to put this?

00:49:49In the checkroom just over there.

00:49:51It'll be all right there, won't it?

00:49:53Indeed it will, miss.

00:50:16Hello, there.

00:50:17Wonderful party, isn't it?

00:50:18Hello.

00:50:19Glad to see you.

00:50:20Excuse me.

00:50:23Solid little group here this evening, isn't it?

00:50:25Yes.

00:50:26I'm trying to think where we met before.

00:50:28Of course, I know you perfectly well,

00:50:29but I can't seem to remember your name.

00:50:31Not Fisher.

00:50:32Not Fowler.

00:50:33Foster.

00:50:34Wrong.

00:50:35Follansby.

00:50:36I know.

00:50:37You're Caroline Follansby's daughter.

00:50:38Wrong again.

00:50:39I'm sorry.

00:50:40I have a remarkable memory for names.

00:50:41I'll get you a seat.

00:50:42Oh, I don't think you will.

00:50:43Oh, yes, I will.

00:50:44And when I do, I'm going to make you pay a forfeit.

00:50:45All right.

00:50:46But I don't think you'll find out.

00:50:47I have to go and look for somebody.

00:50:48Goodbye.

00:50:49Goodbye.

00:50:50Hello, Beveridge.

00:50:51Signorina Caroline.

00:50:52Mr. Beveridge, you are sweet.

00:50:54And you're going to sing for us tonight.

00:50:56Oh, I can't.

00:50:57I'm in such poor voice.

00:50:59My tour was so, so trying.

00:51:01I said to Doug, I will go, but I will not sing.

00:51:04Oh, you must sing.

00:51:05I insist.

00:51:06But I can't possibly.

00:51:07And I have no music with me.

00:51:08It can't be helped.

00:51:09I insist.

00:51:10But I can't possibly.

00:51:11And I have no music with me.

00:51:12Except, Doug, you have it.

00:51:14It's just a straw small.

00:51:15A straw small.

00:51:16And tell the orchestra that I did mark a change in tone

00:51:18in the first eight bars.

00:51:19In case they do have to play a two note.

00:51:27Oh, I'm sorry.

00:51:29Mr. Drake.

00:51:30I should have watched where I was going.

00:51:31Oh, no.

00:51:32It's all my fault.

00:51:33Having a good time?

00:51:34Oh, yes.

00:51:35Yes, I am.

00:51:36Fine.

00:51:37I'm glad you came.

00:51:38Well, I didn't think I was going to get here at all.

00:51:40That would have been terrible.

00:51:42How's the rest of your?

00:51:43How's everybody?

00:51:44Oh, I don't know.

00:51:45I haven't seen them since.

00:51:47Well, they're all right, I guess.

00:51:49How are you?

00:51:50You still live at the same place on?

00:51:52Oh, yes.

00:51:53Yes, so do we.

00:51:55Ted, we're dancing this one.

00:51:56You're going to be around?

00:51:57Oh, I'll be around somewhere here.

00:51:59Excuse me.

00:52:00I'll see you later.

00:52:02Who's that pretty little girl?

00:52:03No, faces to me.

00:52:05I can't figure out where I met her.

00:52:15Good evening.

00:52:16How do you do?

00:52:17Good evening.

00:52:32Ladies and gentlemen, we are most fortunate in having with us

00:52:36tonight a singer whose greatness is exceeded only by a loveliness.

00:52:41She truly has the gift of song, a golden voice, an inspired talent,

00:52:46and a charming personality.

00:52:49Now, she's a very shy young lady.

00:52:51And though I know I should not impose upon her by making this request,

00:52:54I do so in the name of Mr. Drake, our host,

00:52:57and because it happens, quite by chance,

00:53:00that the orchestra has here a Strauss Waltz,

00:53:02which I think we may persuade her to sing for us.

00:53:05Shall we ask her?

00:53:21Ladies and gentlemen,

00:53:22it is now my great privilege to introduce to you

00:53:25Signorina Margherita Cotellini.

00:53:28Wrong again.

00:53:31I'm afraid someone's made a frightful mistake.

00:53:34Oh, no, no, whoever told you I could sing was right,

00:53:36but my name is not that Signorina, whatever you say.

00:54:04Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

00:54:34Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

00:55:04Through the birds as they say good-bye

00:55:10A-ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

00:55:18Edge-ah-ah-ah, we'll forever love each other

00:55:27I'll sing to the birds as they sing to me, I'll sing to the birds as they sing to me.

00:55:52I'll sing to the birds as they sing to me, I'll sing to the birds as they sing to me.

00:56:05Springtime and I will never part, spring is in my heart.

00:56:17Every day I feel spring in my heart, in my heart.

00:56:34Bravo, Marina, bravo!

00:56:38Bravo, Marina, bravo!

00:56:46My dear young lady, that was a real treat. I want to thank you for it.

00:56:49You're welcome, I like your singing.

00:56:50Gerald, Gerald, this young girl has a great voice.

00:56:53I thought you'd like her, Mr. Drake. You were splendid.

00:56:56Yes, I'm Ted's father. Just between us, I'm going to tell a young man something.

00:57:00We're not bringing you around sooner.

00:57:01Where is that boy?

00:57:02Right over there.

00:57:03Ted!

00:57:04Wasn't that great?

00:57:05I'm glad you liked it.

00:57:06I was just telling this young lady I was a little disappointed in you and keeping her hidden this long.

00:57:10All this long, why? I didn't even know that...

00:57:12No, no, no, son, I know I'm old, but there's nothing wrong with my eyes.

00:57:16I can tell just by looking at you two that you're real old friends.

00:57:19Mr. Drake, would you like to dance?

00:57:21Do you hear that, Bevins? Would she like to...

00:57:22What's the matter with you young fellows nowadays? She'd love to dance.

00:57:25Yes, I would.

00:57:34Lovely young lady, Gerald.

00:57:35Yes, indeed she is, Mr. Drake.

00:57:36I wish that boy of mine would get really interested in a girl like that

00:57:39and stay home instead of hopping off on that South American thing.

00:57:42Oh, maybe he will.

00:57:43Yes, maybe.

00:57:44What did you say her name was?

00:57:46Now, don't stop that. I don't know.

00:57:56Oh, I'm sorry.

00:57:58It's my fault.

00:58:00Oh, I'm sorry.

00:58:01It's my fault.

00:58:02I'm used to leading.

00:58:03You know, at school, when just three girls danced, one led...

00:58:06And the other followed?

00:58:07That's right.

00:58:08How's your horse?

00:58:10Shamrock?

00:58:11Yes. I hope the sugar didn't make him sick.

00:58:16What's the matter?

00:58:17Sorry, I was just thinking how different you look.

00:58:20I'm glad of that.

00:58:22I didn't see my face until I got in the car.

00:58:24You were in a pretty bad way there for a few minutes.

00:58:26I didn't thank you for being so nice about everything.

00:58:28I could tell you I was all right.

00:58:29I figured you were all right when I heard that you'd run away.

00:58:32I couldn't help that.

00:58:34Don't ever run away again, will you?

00:58:36Without saying goodbye.

00:58:38I mean it.

00:59:26Oh, my God.

00:59:49Too many people here.

00:59:52Let's go outside.

00:59:54All right.

00:59:57Come on.

01:00:05It isn't too cold for you, is it?

01:00:07No, not at all.

01:00:09You'd rather go inside.

01:00:10No.

01:00:11Maybe you would, darling.

01:00:12I could get you a wrap.

01:00:13No, really, I'm all right.

01:00:15I...

01:00:16Go ahead.

01:00:17No, it's nothing. What were you going to say?

01:00:19I was just thinking, I'm leaving here next week.

01:00:23Are you?

01:00:24I'm going to South America with Dr. McKenzie.

01:00:27You've heard of him, haven't you?

01:00:29McKenzie? I think I have.

01:00:31He's the world's greatest authority on rubber trees.

01:00:33He's been to the Amazon 30 times.

01:00:35He always says, I'm very, very fond of the Wee River.

01:00:38He talks like that and calls me Lottie.

01:00:40Lottie?

01:00:45Do you have to go?

01:00:46I want to.

01:00:47It's sort of a declaration of independence to Dad.

01:00:50He's got a lot of ideas about handing me a ready-made future.

01:00:53Oh, I see.

01:00:56Look at that traffic. It's after 12 o'clock.

01:00:59Yes, it certainly is.

01:01:01Will you be away long?

01:01:03Six months.

01:01:05Where will you stay?

01:01:06On our boat.

01:01:07It's a big sailboat.

01:01:09An auxiliary diesel engine.

01:01:12Sailboats are beautiful.

01:01:14Yes, they are beautiful.

01:01:24What's a diesel engine?

01:01:26Well, it's on the same principle as a regular gasoline engine,

01:01:30only instead of using crude oil, I mean, instead of...

01:01:34Did you say it was 12 o'clock before?

01:01:36It's after 12. See the clock down there?

01:01:38Well, goodbye.

01:01:43Wait a minute.

01:01:53I'm sorry.

01:02:10You're not going to run away now, are you?

01:02:19Hello, Ted.

01:02:20Oh, hello.

01:02:21What is it?

01:02:22Oh, we've had an appalling experience.

01:02:24We're jailbirds.

01:02:25What are you doing with that slipper?

01:02:26Oh, looking for its owner. I'll be right back.

01:02:28Who'd he say he was looking for?

01:02:29I don't know.

01:02:30Oh, he's probably playing some game.

01:02:32He certainly seemed delighted we were here.

01:02:34Hello, Grace.

01:02:35Oh, we thought you'd never get here.

01:02:36Well, we were delayed.

01:02:37On the law.

01:02:38It wasn't simply horrible, dear.

01:02:39It wasn't much fun.

01:02:40I don't know. I rather enjoyed it.

01:02:41Well, what happened?

01:02:42Well, you see, just as we were...

01:02:43Oh, Ted, your father knows the mayor, doesn't he?

01:02:45Mother wants to reform the whole city government.

01:02:47Good. Oh, excuse me, Bella.

01:02:48Say, you didn't see a girl go anyplace around here

01:02:50without a slipper, did you?

01:02:51No, Mr. Drake, I didn't.

01:02:53I'll be back in a minute.

01:02:54I never heard of such inefficiency.

01:02:56Does anybody know who Ted's looking for?

01:02:58Probably the girl who was singing.

01:03:00He's certainly in a dither about her.

01:03:01Well, let's all go up and help him find her.

01:03:19Did you see that girl with the white wrap?

01:03:21She looked just like Connie.

01:03:22Why, it can't be Connie.

01:03:23Connie isn't here.

01:03:24Did that wrap she was wearing have a hood on it?

01:03:26I don't think so.

01:03:27Have you seen Ted running around

01:03:28with that slipper in his hand?

01:03:29I thought it was yours

01:03:30till I saw how small it was.

01:03:31It belonged to some new girl

01:03:32somebody no one ever saw before,

01:03:33and she just ran away with the party.

01:03:35Nobody's even seen Ted since she sang.

01:03:37And when she danced, she just closed her eyes

01:03:39and lost herself in a dream.

01:03:41Did that girl wear a silver lace dress?

01:03:43No, I don't think so.

01:03:44I don't think so either.

01:03:45Lost herself in a dream.

01:03:46Did that girl wear a silver lace dress?

01:03:48Mm-hmm, very sweet.

01:03:49Not severe like your black.

01:03:50Just girlish.

01:03:51Do you know her?

01:03:52I'll tell you later.

01:03:53Get my wrap, please.

01:03:54Yes, miss.

01:03:58We've been waiting for you, miss.

01:03:59Oh, God.

01:04:00I don't know where to begin.

01:04:01Did you have any trouble getting in?

01:04:02Oh, no.

01:04:03You didn't run into Mrs. Clinton

01:04:04and the Brats, did you?

01:04:05No, no, but I saw them.

01:04:06You did?

01:04:07Did they see you?

01:04:08No, I hid behind a post.

01:04:09They got in about midnight.

01:04:10How did you know?

01:04:11Oh, a little bird told us.

01:04:12A little bird named Mike.

01:04:13Did you dance?

01:04:14Yes, and I sang.

01:04:15Good for you.

01:04:16I'll bet they cheered.

01:04:17Oh, and Mr. Drake.

01:04:18Oh, so that's the he.

01:04:21Agnes, it was what I wouldn't have given to see you.

01:04:24He was so nice, Agnes.

01:04:25Oh, don't ask me.

01:04:26Why don't you sing?

01:04:27The Strauss Waltz, you know.

01:04:28Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da.

01:04:31We best go in the kitchen, miss, don't you think?

01:04:33I've got some hot chocolate and a nice piece of cake for you.

01:04:35And you start at the very beginning.

01:04:36You're lame.

01:04:37Oh, I've just lost my slipper.

01:04:38Well, how'd you do that?

01:04:39Oh, it was awful.

01:04:40I had to start running.

01:04:41No more here.

01:04:43I'm working.

01:04:44You're making noise.

01:04:45So we'll have to stop the work or stop the noise.

01:04:48Nobody saw it.

01:04:49It's my fault, Uncle Jim.

01:04:51Maybe theirs.

01:04:52We won't have any more of it.

01:05:01Uncle Jim.

01:05:02George told me to be quiet or go to another room

01:05:04so I wouldn't disturb you.

01:05:05Have a nice time.

01:05:06Have a party.

01:05:07Have a nice time.

01:05:09What?

01:05:10Oh, yes, wonderful.

01:05:11Danced, huh?

01:05:12Uh-huh.

01:05:13Met some nice people.

01:05:14Oh, yes, Uncle Jim, very nice.

01:05:16What did your cousin say to you when she saw you?

01:05:19Oh, I didn't speak to Barbara or Aunt Grace or Walter either.

01:05:23Smart girl.

01:05:25Run up to bed now.

01:05:26Good night.

01:05:27Good night.

01:05:28The family must have stopped someplace on their way.

01:05:31Yeah, stopped in jail.

01:05:33Kept them there till midnight.

01:05:34Should have kept them up all night.

01:05:37What happened?

01:05:38Don't know.

01:05:39They called me to get my lawyer.

01:05:41Couldn't get him.

01:05:42Couldn't remember his telephone number.

01:05:44Couldn't even remember his name.

01:05:47Couldn't remember anything.

01:05:50I don't understand.

01:05:52Had a good time, you said.

01:05:55You knew about Uncle Jason?

01:06:00I know a lot about Uncle Jason.

01:06:04I know a lot of things.

01:06:06I know Everett Cloud has a silver lining.

01:06:08They went to jail.

01:06:09You went to the ball.

01:06:11Uncle Jim, you...

01:06:13Car coming up the driveway.

01:06:15This is all a secret.

01:06:17Oh, never tell a soul.

01:06:18Make my life miserable if you do.

01:06:20Yours too.

01:06:21It's Barbara.

01:06:22You better scat.

01:06:23Good night.

01:06:25Hurry up. Hurry up.

01:06:27The Duchess is coming in.

01:06:55Are you asleep?

01:06:57Uh-huh.

01:06:58That light hurts my eyes.

01:07:00Just wanted to see that you were in.

01:07:02I'm in tonight.

01:07:04Have you been in all night?

01:07:06What time is it?

01:07:07You were home all night.

01:07:09Uncle Jason didn't arrive.

01:07:11Sorry if I interrupted your beauty sleep.

01:07:13Oh, that's all right.

01:07:25So you were at the party, hmm?

01:07:27Yes.

01:07:28And you sang.

01:07:29Mm-hmm. I sang.

01:07:31Didn't I tell you to stay here?

01:07:33I didn't want to.

01:07:35Oh, you didn't want to.

01:07:37Nope.

01:07:38I knew Uncle Jason wasn't coming,

01:07:39and I had a chance to go, so I went.

01:07:41You mean, so you sneaked in.

01:07:42There's nothing you can do or say

01:07:43that could spoil this night for me.

01:07:45I'm sorry.

01:07:46I'm sorry.

01:07:47I'm sorry.

01:07:48I'm sorry.

01:07:49I'm sorry.

01:07:50I'm sorry.

01:07:51I'm sorry.

01:07:52I'm sorry.

01:07:53Nothing could spoil this night for me.

01:07:54Would it spoil things if I asked

01:07:55how you turned your graduation dress

01:07:56into a Paris creation?

01:07:57Ollie made it over out of some silver lace I had.

01:07:59Not that it's any of your business.

01:08:01And that wrap, I suppose she made that

01:08:03out of a pair of Pet Ermen

01:08:04she's been keeping all these years.

01:08:06A friend of mine said I could,

01:08:07uh, I'm not going to quarrel with you, Barbara.

01:08:09I'm so sorry I wasn't there.

01:08:11You must have been wonderful.

01:08:13Now, if you're through being sarcastic.

01:08:14Even Ted said he never had so much fun in his life.

01:08:17He thought you were a nightclub singer

01:08:18pretending to be somebody important,

01:08:20so he decided to play up to it.

01:08:22It's so funny, Ted.

01:08:23And his imitation of you dancing with your eyes shut is wonderful.

01:08:26People just roll on the floor when he does it.

01:08:28He does it over and over again.

01:08:30And leaving your slipper, that was so touching.

01:08:32Ted's going to use it to try and find you again.

01:08:34He wants to hire you to play the same joke on a friend of his in Boston.

01:08:37Now you get out of here. This is my room.

01:08:39Oh, you want to be alone.

01:08:41You have so much to think about and so much to dream over.

01:08:43Get out!

01:08:44All right.

01:08:45I'll go down in the kitchen and tell your chums what a success you were.

01:08:52Good morning, sir.

01:08:53Morning.

01:08:55Your orange juice, sir.

01:08:56Mm-hmm.

01:08:57Your coffee, black as usual.

01:08:58Mm-hmm.

01:08:59Anything else, sir?

01:09:00Not a thing.

01:09:05Then this is good-bye, sir.

01:09:08Going someplace?

01:09:10I'm leaving, sir.

01:09:12Miss Barbera sacked the whole staff last night.

01:09:14Went to your place.

01:09:15Went to your place?

01:09:16Yes, sir.

01:09:17I'm leaving.

01:09:18I'm leaving, sir.

01:09:20Miss Barbera sacked the whole staff last night

01:09:22when she found out we'd helped Miss Connie get to the party, sir.

01:09:24What?

01:09:25Oh, that's all right, sir.

01:09:26Not one of us would have stayed after Miss Connie left.

01:09:32Connie left?

01:09:34Bag and bag, sir.

01:09:36We wanted her to stay and have a talk with you, sir,

01:09:39but she said she had made enough trouble.

01:09:41And didn't leave a note?

01:09:42She said she'd write you, sir, when she was settled and making her own way.

01:09:46I do think she was trying to make it easier for us all.

01:09:51Well, I'd like to talk to the other servants, George.

01:09:54They've been gone hours, sir.

01:09:55Jimmy!

01:09:57Oh, Jimmy, you may have to drive me to town.

01:10:00We have no chauffeur, you know.

01:10:01Did you know that Connie had left?

01:10:03Yes, so has everyone else.

01:10:04No cook, no butler, no mason.

01:10:06Then you're not with us anymore, are you, George?

01:10:08No, madam, I'm not.

01:10:09Such a pity.

01:10:10You're such a good butler, too.

01:10:11It was nothing personal, you know, George.

01:10:13Just a bad constellation for everybody.

01:10:16It won't happen again.

01:10:17Connie's a very young girl to be out on her own.

01:10:20It's not right.

01:10:21I'm going to look up a horoscope and find out what evil influences brought all this about.

01:10:25And I'm also going to see if it's a good time to employ new people.

01:10:27You know, we have to wait until the stars are all right.

01:10:29I'm hungry.

01:10:30The cook has left, Mr. Walter.

01:10:33Say, Father, can you make coffee?

01:10:39Do you know that your cousin has left this house?

01:10:42I only know I'm hungry.

01:10:46Don't you think we'd better do something practical about Connie?

01:10:49I'm doing the most practical thing in the world,

01:10:51checking her complementary influence against Jupiter's emphasis.

01:10:54There's a trend of depression.

01:10:56That's been a problem for hours.

01:10:58Jim, what are you doing?

01:11:01Jim, it's taken me years to work that all out!

01:11:08I can't see!

01:11:12I can't see!

01:11:20Jim, help me!

01:11:24What's wrong?

01:11:25Help me, Jimmy!

01:11:27I never liked this thing either.

01:11:32Jim, stop it. You're losing your mind.

01:11:35Now you listen to me, gracious youth.

01:11:37I've had all the twaddle I'm gonna have about the Etonite house,

01:11:40and the influence of this and that, and Leobie and Little Ivoro that I'm gonna have.

01:11:44I only make Ede these things.

01:11:46But if I ever hear another peep out of you about the sun, the moon or the stars,

01:11:50I promise you, by the big and little dipper,

01:11:52that you'll only be talking about stars.

01:11:54You'll be seeing them.

01:11:55Now you let the heavens take care of themselves,

01:11:58and you get down to Earth.

01:12:00Right?

01:12:02You brute!

01:12:03Don't flatter me! I've only just begun!

01:12:06Father, have you gone crazy?

01:12:08Oh, you're up. That's fine.

01:12:10I was hoping I wouldn't have to go upstairs and pull you out of bed.

01:12:13Father!

01:12:14Never mind your mother. Why did you make Connie leave this house?

01:12:16No, father.

01:12:17Don't father me. I know what you did,

01:12:18and for once in your life, you're gonna pay the consequence.

01:12:20You selfish little dressed-up girl.

01:12:22Why do we talk to him like that?

01:12:23We'll stop talking.

01:12:24You come in.

01:12:25Father!

01:12:26You're just a child, and I'm gonna treat you like a child.

01:12:28What are you doing?

01:12:29I'm gonna kill you.

01:12:30What are you doing?

01:12:31What are you doing?

01:12:32What are you doing?

01:12:33What are you doing?

01:12:34What are you doing?

01:12:35What are you doing?

01:12:48I'll pay you for this.

01:12:49Oh, no, sir. This one's on me.

01:12:50There's one more thing I wanted you to...

01:13:14Don't you ever do anything but sit sprawled out on that chair?

01:13:17But, father, I have a theory, you know.

01:13:18Really?

01:13:19A theory of relaxation.

01:13:21I worked it all out myself.

01:13:22In that chair?

01:13:23Mm-hmm.

01:13:24It's taken years.

01:13:25I believe that one, through relaxation,

01:13:27prolonged and constant,

01:13:29can store up sufficient energy

01:13:30to surmount any emergency that arises,

01:13:33where vitality is called for and force is needed.

01:13:36Simple, isn't it?

01:13:37Almost too simple.

01:13:38You see, father, I don't spend energy.

01:13:40I hoard it.

01:13:41So to sit on it.

01:13:43Exactly.

01:13:44I've already proved that all forms of exercise are wrong.

01:13:47Say a man gets up in the morning and does his daily dozen.

01:13:50The first time he stretches,

01:13:52bends over, touches the floor,

01:13:55he's spent 14 pounds of energy.

01:13:58Now, to get back to his normal position,

01:14:00how much do you think he spends?

01:14:02Uh, from the position that you were in just now?

01:14:06Mm-hmm, identical with it.

01:14:07Mm-hmm.

01:14:08Just about...

01:14:09Well, practically none,

01:14:11because I'd help him like...

01:14:17Very well bowled, sir.

01:14:19Now, there's only one more thing we gotta do here,

01:14:22and that's to find Connie and bring her back in.

01:14:25Does everybody understand that?

01:14:36This is your station, miss.

01:14:55Oh, Miss Wiggins.

01:14:57Did you get my telegram?

01:14:59No.

01:15:00I meet all the trades. That's all I have to do.

01:15:02Did I get your telegram?

01:15:03Get those bags over here.

01:15:06It's so quiet and restful here.

01:15:09It's going through that stage, eh?

01:15:11Cities are such noisy places.

01:15:13They're not dull and full of squealing girls.

01:15:16Are you surprised that I'm back?

01:15:18No.

01:15:19Oh, you must be.

01:15:20All right, then I will be. I'm surprised. Feel better?

01:15:24I want to teach music.

01:15:26Most of them want to be missionaries.

01:15:28Who?

01:15:29Never mind. Go on. You want to teach.

01:15:32Yes, but I'll have to have more training.

01:15:35I hope so.

01:15:36I'd like to get a scholarship at the Teachers' Conservatory of Music.

01:15:40Mm-hmm.

01:15:41I suppose it's only fair that I tell you why I've made this decision, Miss Wiggins.

01:15:46Practice that little speech on the way up?

01:15:48Well, I guess I did.

01:15:51What's that?

01:15:52I guess I did.

01:15:53Never mind the rest. I know the important part.

01:15:56Your heart's broken, your faith's gone, you want to be independent.

01:15:59Who told you?

01:16:00About 40 old maids I know. It happened to them, too.

01:16:03Make it 41. I've forgotten myself.

01:16:07This is so... Well, you don't want to hear about it.

01:16:11Oh, go on. Get it off your chest.

01:16:13It might make you feel better. It won't make me feel any worse.

01:16:17First, you'll be a junior instructor.

01:16:19You'll get paid for that about half as much as you need to live on.

01:16:22You call it living.

01:16:23You'll wear last year's hats and two-year-old dresses and patched-up shoes.

01:16:27But it won't make much difference.

01:16:29But it won't make much difference how you look,

01:16:31because there won't be anybody looking at you except a lot of so-called students.

01:16:34I'll have my work.

01:16:36You'll have that.

01:16:37Later on, by scrimping, you'll have enough money to travel on.

01:16:40Third class and alone.

01:16:42Or with another teacher.

01:16:43I like to be alone.

01:16:45You don't even know what the word means, child.

01:16:48My pupils will love me. I hope as much as they love you.

01:16:51I'm a character. A crotchety, lovable old character.

01:16:55I hate being a character.

01:16:57Do you like cats?

01:16:59No, not much.

01:17:01You'll get to love them.

01:17:03They've got sense. They're like men.

01:17:05Feed them and pet them and admire them and they'll purr.

01:17:09Every woman wants to make somebody purr.

01:17:12You want to lock yourself up in a world of women.

01:17:14A little world. A sheltered world.

01:17:16A useless, polite, frightened world.

01:17:18Miss Wiggins, I'm not a child.

01:17:20I know what I want to do.

01:17:21Work and support myself and not depend on other people for happiness or anything else.

01:17:28All right.

01:17:30Where's your diploma?

01:17:33I'll have to send it along with the application for the scholarship.

01:17:37It's right here.

01:17:41There's a teacher's powwow here on the 6th.

01:17:44They'll be here from all over the state.

01:17:47They'll have to line up some votes for you while they're on the ground.

01:17:51Here's a list of credits.

01:17:53Pretty separate.

01:17:56The other one, I suppose, is the one Mr. Blake had.

01:17:58Mr. Drake.

01:18:00What you keeping it for?

01:18:01Just having to pack it.

01:18:03There's something to cry into 20 years from now.

01:18:06Better get rid of it.

01:18:11Now you'll sing at that meeting.

01:18:13Show them a sample of what you know about music.

01:18:16Have them make up their minds right away.

01:18:18Oh, thank you. That'll be marvelous.

01:18:20It'll be terrible, but I'll do it.

01:18:22You get a new dress for it.

01:18:24I'll have all the girls go to the auditorium so you'll have an audience.

01:18:27And you'll sing something that'll be effective.

01:18:29The spring song.

01:18:30No, not the spring song.

01:18:32One Fine Day, Butterfly, by Puccini.

01:18:35Know it?

01:18:37Yes.

01:18:38We have to work on it.

01:18:39That'll make them all cry.

01:18:41All the old maids will sniffle.

01:18:43You know, one fine day he'll come back to me.

01:18:47I'd rather...

01:18:49Rather what?

01:18:51Couldn't I sing something else?

01:18:53Why?

01:18:54Well, I don't think it's a good idea to make them sad.

01:18:57Make you sad to sing it?

01:18:59No. No, not me.

01:19:01You just said it to make them cry.

01:19:03Old maids are only happy when they cry.

01:19:05You'll find that out.

01:19:09Miss Wiggins, we just heard that Connie...

01:19:11Oh, hello, Connie.

01:19:15Go along, all of you, and stop that chattering.

01:19:24Why didn't you go with Connie?

01:19:26Oh, I don't know her.

01:19:28I just came in to see if you'd mark the cuts in this orchestration for me.

01:19:31Irene told me to...

01:19:32I'll fix it.

01:19:33You will? Oh, thanks a lot, Miss Wiggins.

01:19:35Goodbye.

01:19:40I said I'll fix it, didn't I?

01:19:42I said I'll fix it, didn't I?

01:20:12The moon lifts

01:20:15A thread of smoke arising

01:20:22On the sea

01:20:25In the far horizon

01:20:30And then the ship appearing

01:20:38Then the dream-white vessel

01:20:44Glides into the harbor

01:20:52Thunderstorms have fallen

01:20:59There you are

01:21:03Now here's Connie

01:21:09I do not go to meet him

01:21:15Not I

01:21:18I stay upon the brow of the hillock

01:21:24And wait there

01:21:27And wait for a long time

01:21:32But never weary

01:21:37Of the long waiting

01:21:42From out the crowded city there is coming

01:21:49Coming a little speck in the distance

01:21:57Climbing the hillock

01:22:06Can you guess who it is?

01:22:09And when he's reached the summit

01:22:12Can you guess what he'll say?

01:22:16He will call Butterfly

01:22:21From the distance

01:22:24I, without answering, hold myself quietly concealed

01:22:30A bit to tease him

01:22:33And a bit so as not to die

01:22:41There you are now, Butterfly

01:22:45And then a little troubled

01:22:48He will call

01:22:50He will call

01:22:54Dear baby wife of mine

01:22:58Dear little orange blossom

01:23:03The names he used to call me when he came here

01:23:11This will all come to pass as I tell you

01:23:17Then there shall be no fear

01:23:22For he shall return

01:23:26He shall return
