00:00You're going to be late for class, Patty.
00:05I can't help it.
00:06I lost a book.
00:07Oh, I'll see you at the shake shop after school.
00:10Patty, you'd better hurry.
00:13You're going to be late for class.
00:14I can't find my history book.
00:16Oh, well, it doesn't matter.
00:18I'd probably never pass the test anyway.
00:21Patty, why don't you try positive thinking?
00:24Okay.
00:25I'm positive I can't pass the history test.
00:30I'll see you later.
00:33Hi, Patty.
00:34Hi.
00:35Are you going to the shake shop after school tonight?
00:36I guess so.
00:37Why?
00:38Would you do me a favor?
00:39Tell Mr. Anderson I won't be there.
00:40Sure.
00:41You mean you'll be late.
00:42No, I'm quitting.
00:43You're quitting your job at the shake shop?
00:48Oh, I can't help it.
00:49My grandmother's sick and I have to go back to Detroit with my folks this afternoon.
00:52Oh.
00:53Well, who's going to take your place?
00:55He'll find someone.
00:56The kids are all standing in line for that job.
00:59George, how much does he pay you?
01:04Fifteen dollars a week to work after school and on Saturdays.
01:07And all the ice cream I can eat.
01:10All the ice cream you can eat?
01:11You'll take care of it for me, won't you?
01:14George, consider it taken care of.

03:36And?
03:37And all the ice cream you can eat.
03:38Oh, I don't think that would be necessary.
03:39Oh, I don't think that would be necessary.
03:40What do you want me to do first?
03:41What do you want me to do first?
03:42You'd better check your ice cream.
03:43You'd better check your ice cream.
03:49My ice cream.
04:00Patty, can we have some service, please?
04:01Patty, can we have some service, please?
04:02Sure, in a second.
04:09I'll have a kitchen sink.
04:16One kitchen sink.
04:32I'll have a pink elephant.

04:48One kitchen sink, chocolate story tutti frutti.
04:50Hold the nuts, no cherry, and plenty of whipped cream.
04:53A chocolate soda, please.
04:54Chocolate soda, fine.
04:57Wonder how long Patty's gonna hold that job.
05:00As long as she wants to.
05:01It's terribly difficult.
05:04I bet she doesn't last a week.
05:05Oh, I bet she does.
05:07Patty has a wonderful memory.
05:09Yeah, that's right, she does.
05:12Gee, I'm terribly sorry.
05:13I forgot one of those orders.
05:14What did you want?
05:1540, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 45, 50, 50, 50, $5 short.
05:3810, 20, 30, 40, one, two, three, four, five.
05:53Mr. Anderson, the most amusing thing just happened.
05:58I was just checking the cash receipts
06:02and I found I was $5 short.
06:05Oh, what do you do in a case like that?
06:10Fire someone, that's what you do.
06:11Did you finish checking out your receipts, Patty?
06:18Yes, Mr. Anderson.
06:19Did it check out all right?
06:27Yes, sir.
06:28To the penny.
06:31Here you are, Mr. Anderson.
06:34$50 and 50 cents.
06:37Fine.
06:38You can run along now, Patty.
06:39You must be pretty tired.
06:41Oh, no, not me, sir.
06:42I'm strong as a horse.
06:45You do want me back, don't you?
06:47Oh, I certainly do.
06:49Good night.
06:50Thank you, Mr. Anderson.
06:52Good night.
06:53Bye-bye.
06:54Bye-bye.
06:55Bye-bye.
06:56Bye-bye.
06:57Bye-bye.
06:57Bye-bye.
06:58Bye-bye.
06:59Bye-bye.
07:00Bye-bye.
07:01Bye-bye.
07:02Bye-bye.
07:03Bye-bye.
07:10Hello, Patty.
07:12Hi, Papa.
07:13What happened to you?
07:14I got a job.
07:16You didn't?
07:18Mm-hmm, I told you you'd be shocked.
07:20I'm working every day after school and all day Saturday.
07:24I think that's wonderful.
07:26Where are you working?
07:27At the shake shop.
07:28How'd all this come about?
07:29I heard about a vacancy, I applied for it, I got it.
07:34Bene, vide, viki.
07:36I came, I saw, I conquered.
07:40Thanks.
07:41How much do you get paid?
07:43Fifteen dollars a week.
07:45And all the blisters I can raise.
07:47She gets to eat all the ice cream she wants.
07:50Boy, I'd work for nothing.
07:54Uh, Papo, speaking of working for nothing,
07:58could I have a little loan from you?
08:00Well, now that you're part of this country's labor force,
08:03I guess you're a pretty good financial risk.
08:05How much would you like?
08:06Five dollars.
08:08Thanks, Papo.
08:10I'll give it back to you on payday.
08:12Oh, and, uh,
08:14since I'm practically earning my own living now,
08:17I won't be needing my allowance anymore.
08:20Can I have her allowance?
08:22May I have her allowance?
08:24May I have her allowance?
08:25No.
08:26Well, if I wasn't gonna get it anyway,
08:27why'd I have to get grammatical?
08:29Hello, darling.
08:31Well, what do you think of our working girl?
08:34I think it's wonderful.
08:36How are your feet?
08:37Great.
08:38Look at the condition of her feet
08:40and not a complaint out of her.
08:42You know, you picked a pretty tough job, Patty.
08:44Do you think you're gonna be able to stick it out?
08:46She'll stay there until the ice cream runs out.
08:49Sure, I'll stick it out.
08:51What do you think I am, some kind of quitter?
08:53No.
08:55I think you're some kind of wonderful girl.
08:57I'm very proud you're my daughter.
08:59Thanks, Papa.
09:01If I had the choice of all the sisters in the world,
09:03I'd only want you.
09:06Thank you, Ross.
09:08Now can I come in tomorrow and have a free soda?
09:12N-O.
09:19Hi, Ross.
09:20Hi, Richard.
09:21Is the queen of the ice cream parlor home?
09:23Yes, she's home.
09:24You know, she refused to give me a free soda.
09:26My own sister.
09:28Oh, you can afford to buy one.
09:30It isn't the same thing.
09:32There's something about a free soda.
09:37Why, hi, everybody.
09:38Oh, good evening, Richard.
09:39Hello, Richard.
09:40You all set for the striking spare bit?
09:43I assume that means you're going bowling.
09:47Bowling.
09:51What's the matter with you?
09:54Nothing.
09:56Come, Richard.
09:57Let's go bowling.
10:01Is she all right?
10:02Patty's had a very hard day, Richard.
10:05You mean she's knocked out from those few hours she worked in the shake shop?
10:10Are we going bowling or not?
10:14Mm-hmm.
10:18She's gonna be the life of the party.
10:20Richard, I think it would be better if Patty didn't go.
10:23I'm sure she'll feel fine tomorrow.
10:27Tomorrow?
10:29Come on, Patty.
10:30I'll help you.
10:46You understand, Richard.
10:48No, I sure don't.
10:50I mean, Patty and I have gone dancing for four hours without stopping.
10:54She was as fresh as a daisy.
10:57Well, that comes under the heading of pleasure.
10:59You see, what Patty did today was work.
11:02I think it was quite a psychological shock to her nervous system.
11:07Boy, I sure was proud of Patty today.
11:09You should have seen her.
11:10She was racing around taking orders and delivering milk and working behind the fountain.
11:16We all went to the rally without her.
11:18She stayed on and worked.
11:20Boy, she's quite a girl.
11:23Oh, we've decided to keep her.
11:25Not much longer.
11:29What does that mean?
11:30Well, uh, just that sometime in the future, I hope that...
11:40Hi.
11:47Drink your milk.
11:48Boy, I'd like to get my hands on whoever invented cows.
11:53Morning.
11:54Morning.
11:55Where are the girls?
11:56Patty's already had her breakfast.
11:58Patty's still asleep.
12:00At this hour?
12:01Isn't she feeling well?
12:02She's just tired.
12:03She's been carrying trays in her sleep all night.
12:06I have to get accustomed to the idea of Patty's being a working girl.
12:10Don't get too used to it.
12:11She won't last that long.
12:12Patty may surprise you.
12:14She's already surprised me.
12:16She isn't going to give me a free soda.
12:18I bragged to all the kids at school that my sister's working at the shake shop.
12:22I'm a laughingstock among the younger generation.
12:25A thing like this could give me a traumatic experience.
12:28Whatever that means.
12:30That means you've been watching too many doctor movies on the late show.
12:33If I watch just one more, I'll bet I could be a brain surgeon.
12:37Scalpel.
12:38Suture.
12:40Natalie.
12:41Don't look at me.
12:42He knows he's not supposed to watch the show.
12:44Then why do you watch them, Ross?
12:46Because they're there.
12:49Well, I don't mind them being there.
12:50Just make sure you're not.
12:52Yes, sir.
12:53Well, there goes a whole career down the drain.
12:59Patty.
13:01Get up.
13:04He's a loser.
13:06He's just a sort of banana.
13:09Oh, holy flake.
13:11Patty.
13:12Patty.
13:22What time is it?
13:25Let me put it this way.
13:28If you walk in the classroom door in about ten minutes,
13:33you'll be just in time for your chemistry class.
13:37Ten minutes?
13:39Why didn't you wake me up?
13:40We've been trying to since seven o'clock.
13:50Are you sure this job is a good idea?
13:53Certainly.
13:55Where else can you get paid to go through a physical fitness program?
14:04Hi, I'm sorry it took so long.
14:06I want three more.
14:07Okay.
14:10Three more.
14:15Oh, hi.
14:17Oh.
14:19I got you soda.
14:20Yours.
14:31Patty, you awake?
14:32Not now, Richard. I'm very busy.
14:34Come on.
14:41Hey.
14:57Oh.
14:58Oh.
15:09Patty.
15:12Yes.
15:13Patty, we're hungry.
15:14I'm sorry. I'm doing the best I can.
15:16They'll be ready in a second. Excuse me.
15:17Yes.
15:18Where are the sodas?
15:19Oh, they're coming. I forgot. I'm sorry.
15:24Come on.
15:29Five.
15:3535, 36, 37, and a quarter.
15:4239 and a quarter.
15:43I'm two dollars short again.
15:47Boy.
15:58Well, I'm improving.
16:00Let's go figure in your receipts, Patty.
16:02Yes, Mr. Anderson.
16:04Did it come out right?
16:06To the penny.
16:08Would you like a banana milkshake before you go?
16:14You've reached the point of no return.
16:18Point of no return?
16:20That's what I call it when I've had a new clerk long enough so I begin showing a profit again.
16:25Tomorrow is Saturday, so I'll expect you to open the store at eight in the morning.
16:29Eight o'clock in the...
16:33Yes, sir.
16:41Mmm. It's good.
16:42Don't ruin your appetite.
16:44No, I won't.
16:45Do you wish Patty had yet home? I can't wait to spring my little surprise on her.
16:48She'll be so thrilled.
16:50You don't suppose she's seen the papers yet, do you?
16:52I'm sure she hasn't.
16:53Her job keeps her pretty busy.
16:56She really loves it, doesn't she?
16:58I bet she wishes she'd taken the job a long time ago.
17:00Martin.
17:01The last one.
17:04I can't help myself.
17:06I can't help myself.
17:23Patty, you look terrible.
17:25I feel like the inside of a milkshake.
17:30I can't keep it up any longer.
17:32Then don't.
17:33Don't worry.
17:35I won't.
17:38Do you know where I'm going to be at eight o'clock tomorrow morning?
17:41Asleep.
17:43And I'm going to sleep right through till summer.
17:47Good boy.
17:48No wonder they call him Soda Jerk.
17:54I just handed him my resignation.
17:56Hello, darling.
17:58Hi.
18:00Well, home is the hunter home from the hill and the sailor home from the sea.
18:05How's our little working girl?
18:08I want to talk to you about that.
18:09Yeah.
18:10I've got something I want to read to you first.
18:14This is my editorial in today's Chronicle.
18:18In an age when teenagers are too often thought of as a group of juvenile delinquents,
18:23perhaps it's time that someone pointed out the other side of the coin.
18:27Time some tribute was paid to the hundreds of thousands of decent youngsters who are our junior citizens.
18:33Because of a few loud-mouthed, ill-mannered hooligans,
18:35we tend to forget that the great majority of teenagers are courteous, respectful young men and women,
18:40determinately training themselves for places as leaders of tomorrow's America.
18:46This writer is as guilty as other parents, intending to underestimate our children.
18:51We have a teenage daughter in our house.
18:54We watched her begin a job a few days ago.
18:56And we confessed with shame that we thought it would be a passing fancy,
19:00losing out to more important things in life such as movies, basketball, and television.
19:06We were wrong.
19:08This is our apology to her and to the rest of young America.
19:15Thank you, Papa.
19:19I don't know what to say.
19:20You don't have to say anything, honey.
19:22Actions speak louder than words.
19:26I think I'll go up and have a little rest.
19:29Excuse me.
19:31I have to be at the shake shop at 8 o'clock in the morning.
19:45Pat, you can't go on like this.
19:47I'm hooked.
19:48If I quit, I'll let Papa down.
19:51I'm sure if you told your father what this job was doing to you, he'd understand.
19:57He'd understand I'm a quitter.
20:00I don't know how I got mixed up in this.
20:04But I seem to be representing teenage America.
20:08Do you know what he wrote about me?
20:10Yes.
20:11But it wasn't meant to be your episode.
20:13Yes.
20:14But it wasn't meant to be your epitaph.
20:17How long are you going to keep working?
20:21Until I'm old and stooped.
20:27I'm already stupid or I wouldn't be in this mess.
20:32Well, I see we have a new conscript.
20:34What's a conscript?
20:35A conscript is someone who's been drafted for a job.
20:38You mean kind of like a slave?
20:40Kind of.
20:41That's me.
20:44Thanks, we're almost through.
20:46Say, did Patty go out?
20:48No, I think she went to bed.
20:50This early?
20:51Martin, do you think this job's too much for Patty?
20:54I have a feeling she's working too hard.
20:57I think she's having the time of her life.
20:59I worked in a drugstore when I was a kid.
21:01I had a ball.
21:03You weren't cheerleader, editor of the school paper,
21:06captain of the girls' hockey team and mascot of the basketball team.
21:09I wasn't captain of the girls' hockey team.
21:13I think Patty's doing too much.
21:15Well, maybe she should give up some of her other activities.
21:18I think it would kill her if she had to give up her job at the shake shop.
21:22No, it wouldn't kill me.
21:26Do you know how much a tray full of flaming desires weighs?
21:31Ten thousand pounds.
21:34Patty, would you like me to substitute for you tomorrow?
21:40Kathy!
21:42That's the greatest thing I've ever heard.
21:45No, I couldn't do that.
21:49Why not?
21:51Because it would make a phony out of Poppo's editorial.
21:55I appreciate it, Kath.
21:58But I got myself into this one and...
22:00I'll have to get myself out of it.
22:07I want to talk to you.
22:09Hi, Richard.
22:10I thought we were supposed to have a date last night.
22:12I've given all that up.
22:14Given all what up?
22:17Dating, cheerleading, school paper, and you.
22:23You're kidding.
22:25No, I'm serious.
22:27I've decided to become a drudge.
22:29For how long?
22:32Until I'm too old to work for Mr. Anderson anymore and he throws me out.
22:37You'll have to find someone younger to go with, Richard.
22:40Why don't you just quit?
22:42I can't. I've become an institution.
22:46Mom and Pop came into the shake shop yesterday.
22:50They just sat there, watching me.
22:53They just sat there, watching me.
22:58I've seen the looks on their faces.
23:01No, I'm...
23:04I'm afraid it's goodbye, Richard.
23:06Patty, why don't we...
23:08No, Richard, there's no point in discussing it.
23:11There's nothing that could...
23:15Richard, will you take me dancing tonight?
23:18Dancing? Well, you just said that...
23:20I've changed my mind. Look who's back.
23:23Hey, I'm back.
23:25Oh, George.
23:29I love you.
23:36Isn't it about time that Patty got home?
23:38Yes, they got an early start.
23:40They were going to two movies, a newsreel theater and the bowling alley.
23:45Of course, you know, I'm...
23:47I'm glad that George's grandmother is feeling better, but...
23:50It's too bad Patty had to give up her job, isn't it?
23:53Was she very disappointed about it, Kath?
23:55Oh, I'm sure she was, Uncle Martin.
23:57But she'll get over it.
23:59I won't.
24:00There goes my last chance for free ice cream soda.
24:03Well, not necessarily.
24:05Hi, group.
24:06Hi.
24:07Guess who just bowled 240?
24:08I did.
24:09Spoilsport.
24:11Well, Patty, I was just about to spring my big surprise.
24:14You wrote another editorial.
24:16No, it's even better than that.
24:18On my way home tonight, I stopped off at the shake shop.
24:21You did?
24:22Yep.
24:23I had a little talk with George.
24:26With George?
24:27Mm-hmm.
24:28We need a copy boy on the paper, and George is taking the job.
24:33Mr. Anderson said that he'll expect you at the shake shop tomorrow at 3 o'clock.
