00:02:10♪♪
00:02:20♪♪
00:02:30I told you to ride mini! That goes double!
00:02:33Wrong signals or not enough ground?
00:02:36Say, me wants to ride as you.
00:02:38Think I'm going to stand out there and get run down so you can ride?
00:02:41I knew a fella did a fool's thing like that once.
00:02:43Yeah, yeah.
00:02:44Yeah, yeah.
00:02:45Well, why don't you try it yourself once?
00:02:47Can't do no harm.
00:02:48Well, maybe you got something there.
00:02:50Walking 16 miles can.
00:02:52♪♪
00:03:02♪♪
00:03:11You moron!
00:03:12What do you use for IQ?
00:03:13We might both have been killed.
00:03:15I think I'm all right, thank you.
00:03:18No bones broken.
00:03:19Don't worry, miss.
00:03:20He looks pretty lively to me, too.
00:03:21Why don't you move over and let the crow sit there?
00:03:24Get up front of your room.
00:03:25What were you doing out here in the road anyway?
00:03:28All right, I'm sorry.
00:03:29I should think you would be.
00:03:31Jumping in front of cars like a maniac.
00:03:33Only an imbecile would do a thing like that.
00:03:36That does it.
00:03:37That really does it.
00:03:38Oh, no you don't.
00:03:39You'll find everything in the back to change that tire.
00:03:43Aren't you going to help me fix it?
00:03:44I no speak English.
00:03:45I only operate from signals.
00:03:47Surely you don't expect me to change it.
00:03:49Why not?
00:03:50Your car, your tire, your gas, and you ride.
00:03:54Well, of all the nerves.
00:03:55Move over, brother.
00:03:57Can't drive, boy, can't ride.
00:03:58You ought to help her.
00:03:59She's nothing to my department, farmer.
00:04:01I've met these overall jobs before.
00:04:03She takes over and leaves you flat.
00:04:05If you're going to be like this, well, maybe I'll have to help her.
00:04:08Stay perched.
00:04:09I guess there just isn't a gentleman left in the world.
00:04:12Fortunately, I don't need any help.
00:04:15Does she mean us?
00:04:16Not me.
00:04:17I'm essential.
00:04:19Those bumper jacks are dynamite.
00:04:29They'll never stay.
00:04:48See?
00:04:53She'll never get the hang of it.
00:05:12See what you made me do?
00:05:14My best pair.
00:05:15It's all your fault.
00:05:16She's a little filly, ain't she?
00:05:18Not bad.
00:05:29You horrid thing.
00:05:51I hate you.
00:05:52You've cost me a pair of nylons.
00:05:54You can't buy them anymore.
00:05:55That's right, you can't, but stop crying.
00:05:57Who's crying?
00:05:58Come on.
00:06:07Sit there and relax.
00:06:09Still burned, huh?
00:06:10Plenty.
00:06:11Count ten.
00:06:12It helps.
00:06:13Now I fix the tire and you ride me into town.
00:06:15Right?
00:06:16Right.
00:06:21Can I help you?
00:06:22Yes, go back and sit on the fence.
00:06:24But I'm very handy around automobiles and things.
00:06:27I know, I know.
00:06:28I don't doubt it.
00:06:29You don't want to help, huh?
00:06:30No.
00:06:31No?
00:06:32See?
00:06:33I wanted to help him and he wouldn't let me.
00:06:35He's a metal case.
00:06:36It sure wasn't a very nice thing he did to you, miss.
00:06:38At least I don't think it was.
00:06:40Whose side are you on?
00:06:41Wasn't it your idea that I risk my neck in the road?
00:06:44Sure.
00:06:45That's the only way you get a hitch to town.
00:06:46It's nicer out here in the country amongst the birds and the bees and chickens and such.
00:06:50Why do you want to go back to town for anyways?
00:06:53For a long time all I've dreamed about is going back home.
00:06:56And back home to town.
00:06:58That's why.
00:07:19You see?
00:07:20I don't trust you.
00:07:22You shouldn't have a disposition like yours for nothing.
00:07:24Cause a lady all this trouble and then you don't trust her.
00:07:26Well, nice knowing you folks.
00:07:28Just ignore him, miss.
00:07:37Nice lines for this job.
00:07:39I thought I was lucky to find it.
00:07:41Wish it was mine.
00:07:42Oh, this car doesn't belong to me.
00:07:44I took it.
00:07:45I'm a kleptomaniac with good taste.
00:07:48Don't give me that.
00:07:49You've got little miss idle rich stamped all over you.
00:07:52You're wrong.
00:07:53I work for a living.
00:07:55At what?
00:07:56Well, I'm...
00:07:57I'm sort of a chauffeur.
00:07:59In that uniform?
00:08:01My employers are very lenient.
00:08:03And speaking of uniforms, how do you manage to stay out of one?
00:08:07Anything like that strictly between me and my uncle.
00:08:09You should say my uncle and me.
00:08:11It doesn't sound so selfish.
00:08:12He comes first.
00:08:14I'll say.
00:08:15First, last and always.
00:08:20Well, you're out of gas.
00:08:23Oh, well, didn't we pass the filling station about a half a mile back?
00:08:28So we did.
00:08:30Why, you...
00:08:31I know, you hate me.
00:08:33Very well.
00:08:34We'll both sit right here and dream together.
00:08:36I don't mind.
00:08:37No wonder the armed forces don't want you afraid of a little hike like that.
00:08:42All right, miss smart set.
00:08:43What did you say your name is?
00:08:45I didn't.
00:08:46That's right, you didn't.
00:08:49I didn't.
00:09:19All set?
00:09:40Right.
00:09:48It's lovely out here in the country, isn't it?
00:09:50So fresh and peaceful.
00:09:51I like it.
00:09:53Hey, what happened to you?
00:09:54Did you take a vitamin?
00:09:55A person doesn't know whom she's talking to these days.
00:09:58Doesn't she?
00:09:59I mean, I'm afraid I said some cruel things to you.
00:10:02I'm sure when a fellow isn't in the armed forces these days, there must be a good reason for it.
00:10:06There should be.
00:10:08And yet thoughtless people like me do say such cruel things and make such terrible accusations.
00:10:13Any young fellow must hate being out of it.
00:10:16It all depends on the man, doesn't it?
00:10:18Take a deserter, for instance.
00:10:19He doesn't mind until his conscience gets to work on him and he's caught and made to realize what a fool's bid he made for freedom.
00:10:26That must be horrible.
00:10:28It's not the best deal.
00:10:31You wouldn't be...
00:10:32What?
00:10:33A deserter?
00:10:35I told you anything like that strictly between my uncle and me.
00:10:39If it isn't too personal, who is your uncle?
00:10:42The most influential man in the country.
00:10:44Really?
00:10:45Who is he?
00:10:46Uncle Sam.
00:10:47Did you ever hear of him?
00:10:49I'll give you ten on that one.
00:10:51Hey, what is your name?
00:10:53Come on now, they must call you something.
00:10:55They do.
00:10:56They call me Willie.
00:10:58Are you kidding?
00:10:59No, that's my name.
00:11:00What about yours?
00:11:02Marion.
00:11:03And that's on the level.
00:11:04Really?
00:11:06Hey, you know what's wrong with us, Willie?
00:11:08We ought to change names.
00:11:16I think those cops mean us.
00:11:18Could be.
00:11:23Say, you weren't trying to pick them up.
00:11:25Certainly not.
00:11:26That's probably the first honest thing you've said.
00:11:37Come out of there with your hands up.
00:11:41Come out of there with your hands up.
00:11:48All right, get out.
00:11:52Officer, what's this all about?
00:11:54Lady, you're driving a stolen car.
00:11:56Me?
00:11:57Yes, you.
00:11:58You just picked me up, remember?
00:11:59Let's see your driver's license.
00:12:01Officer, it must be my other bag.
00:12:02I've only got my lipstick in this one.
00:12:04Well, what's your name or don't you know that?
00:12:07You probably wouldn't believe me.
00:12:09Just call her Willie.
00:12:10That's what she told me.
00:12:11You drive her.
00:12:12I'll take him.
00:12:13Wait a minute, officer.
00:12:14You don't want me.
00:12:15I'm just a pickup.
00:12:16Who's this guy?
00:12:17Don't let him get away.
00:12:18There's probably a reward up at Boeing.
00:12:19Very funny.
00:12:20Now, if I'm not too inquisitive, where did you get this car?
00:12:22Why, it's Alvin.
00:12:23And who's Alvin?
00:12:24Alvin's mine.
00:12:25Well, Alvin's just one of the most promising young men in this country that night.
00:12:29Doc, get in.
00:12:30Come on, come on.
00:12:31Get in.
00:12:32Slide over.
00:12:33I'll drive.
00:12:36What'd they bring in, Ryan?
00:12:37Same old stuff.
00:12:38A dame and a guy.
00:12:39Was he annoying her?
00:12:40She picked him up in a stolen car.
00:12:42She won't give her name.
00:12:43There's a name for that, ain't there?
00:12:45Yes.
00:12:46Is there a picture in it?
00:12:47No.
00:12:48Her nylons are ripped.
00:12:49I think I'll take a look.
00:12:51Sit down.
00:12:52You owe me six bits and you're not leaving.
00:12:58Matron, will I be detained here long?
00:13:01That depends.
00:13:02Sometimes we keep them for life.
00:13:03But I'm not a common criminal.
00:13:05None of them are.
00:13:06That's what makes the work so interesting.
00:13:07Every case is different.
00:13:08Are they trying to phone long distance for me?
00:13:10Young lady, they're doing a lot of telephoning for you.
00:13:12They're grilling the young man and searching the car now.
00:13:15Oh, dear.
00:13:16Oh, you poor kid.
00:13:17Did some guy get you in here too?
00:13:19I suppose, in a way, he is responsible.
00:13:21He made me stop for him.
00:13:22Ain't it terrible the way some men do these things?
00:13:24If I hadn't stopped for Herman, I wouldn't be here either.
00:13:27Did you pick him up?
00:13:28Yeah, 10 years ago.
00:13:29And married him.
00:13:31Look what it got me.
00:13:33You haven't married George yet, have you?
00:13:35Why, I hardly know him.
00:13:36Well, believe me, you never will know him.
00:13:38I never thought Herman would strike me, but he did.
00:13:40I screamed and defended myself and neighbors came in
00:13:43and then they saw that pipe on the floor that he hit me
00:13:45when they called the police.
00:13:46How dreadful.
00:13:47Yeah, but he was always so gentle.
00:13:48Until he suddenly gets the idea and he starts saying,
00:13:51it's a free country, ain't it?
00:13:53It's a free country.
00:13:54Well, it is.
00:13:55Yeah.
00:13:56Well, I remember what my father went through.
00:13:58One of the finest men that ever lived.
00:14:00I remember what he went through during Prohibition.
00:14:02And I said to Herman, listen, no matter
00:14:04how hard the stuff is to get, it ain't worth it
00:14:07just to feel dizzy.
00:14:09Don't try and brew it.
00:14:10At least now you can get it.
00:14:11You got the government behind you.
00:14:13You mean he makes it himself?
00:14:14Well, he tried to make some in the furnace
00:14:16and we got into an argument and he hits me.
00:14:20Have one?
00:14:21I don't smoke.
00:14:23What are you in here for?
00:14:25Wife beating.
00:14:27Your own?
00:14:28Yep.
00:14:29What is she, a midget?
00:14:31I didn't hit her.
00:14:32The darn thing exploded and the pipe flew off
00:14:34and I was trying to pick her up when the neighbors came in.
00:14:36What thing?
00:14:37Hm?
00:14:38Thing.
00:14:39What thing?
00:14:40It's a free country, ain't it?
00:14:41Yeah.
00:14:42Well?
00:14:43You talk like you're in love or...
00:14:44Yes, if you think so, Mr. Bailey.
00:14:46The young lady refuses to give her name.
00:14:49Oh, you're glad.
00:14:51Oh, it's of no importance, huh?
00:14:54Well, very well.
00:14:55We'll hold the car and release her.
00:14:56Tell Mr. Bailey I want to speak to him.
00:14:59The young lady wishes to speak to you, Mr. Bailey.
00:15:03Oh, he says he has nothing to say to you.
00:15:05You're to return home on the train.
00:15:06He'll see you then.
00:15:07Oh, he will.
00:15:08How nice.
00:15:09Mm-hmm.
00:15:10Now, Mr. Bailey, what are we going to do with the young man
00:15:13that's with her?
00:15:15Oh, yes, yes.
00:15:16There's a young man who's with her.
00:15:19He'll talk to you now, miss.
00:15:21Tell Mr. Bailey I have nothing to say to him.
00:15:23I'm not coming back.
00:15:25Never again is he going to push me around.
00:15:29Did you hear that, Mr. Bailey?
00:15:31You better let me talk to the sergeant.
00:15:34Oh, sergeant, we're holding the car and releasing the young lady.
00:15:38Thanks for your cooperation.
00:15:40Goodbye.
00:15:42Well, you're free to go, miss.
00:15:44Thank you very much.
00:15:46Thank you very much.
00:15:47Don't mention it.
00:15:48Don't you mention it.
00:15:50Goodbye.
00:15:51Goodbye.
00:15:52Oh, sergeant.
00:15:53Yes?
00:15:54There's a young man who's with me.
00:15:55Oh, yes.
00:15:56Thank you for reminding me.
00:15:57You know, I might have forgotten.
00:15:59After all, I see no reason why we should hold him.
00:16:01There's no occasion for the smile, sergeant.
00:16:03No?
00:16:04No.
00:16:06Oh.
00:16:08Ryan, release the young man.
00:16:10Yes, sergeant.
00:16:13I bet you're terribly angry with me.
00:16:15Nope.
00:16:16All my women do this to me.
00:16:17You're conceited.
00:16:18Have it your way, Willie.
00:16:19Where do we go from here?
00:16:20Now you're trying to pick me up.
00:16:22I'm giving you an opportunity to turn this into a wonderful day.
00:16:25I gotta show you our town.
00:16:26It's a crackerjack.
00:16:27Is it?
00:16:28Haven't you seen the new library?
00:16:29Never noticed.
00:16:30Don't tell me you haven't seen the new fire engine.
00:16:32Why, you just press a button and the ladders go up in all directions.
00:16:35Sounds small.
00:16:36There's also a little park.
00:16:37It's a gem.
00:16:38Right on the river.
00:16:39You can take me someplace.
00:16:41Anywhere if you guarantee no cops.
00:16:43I promise, no cops.
00:16:45Hey, that's for us.
00:16:46Taxi!
00:16:47Hey!
00:16:53Where to?
00:16:54Do you know where the Hammond place is?
00:16:56Sure do, miss.
00:16:57Will you take us there, please?
00:16:58Yes, ma'am.
00:17:00Uh, pardon me, but I think I got on the wrong bus.
00:17:03Do you know the Hammonds?
00:17:04Yes, I'm the secretary for the family.
00:17:06Hmm.
00:17:07Big league stuff.
00:17:08Why don't you just drop me off here as well as at the gate?
00:17:10Relax, I can smuggle you in.
00:17:11Besides, the family's in New York.
00:17:12Oh, gotta be like this, huh?
00:17:14No, but I just thought that maybe you might...
00:17:15I sure would.
00:17:16What are you doing here?
00:17:17Oh, nothing.
00:17:18Nothing.
00:17:19Oh, gotta be like this, huh?
00:17:20No, but I just thought that maybe you might...
00:17:21I sure would.
00:17:22Whatever you're trying to say.
00:17:24You know, I bet you're pretty regular.
00:17:26I hope you won't be disappointed in me, Marion.
00:17:29Willie.
00:17:30Yes, Marion?
00:17:31Who's Alvin?
00:17:32Oh, Alvin.
00:17:33I was engaged to him.
00:17:34Is he a big guy?
00:17:35He's powerfully big.
00:17:36Why'd you take his heart?
00:17:37I felt I'd just have to get away.
00:17:39Sort of to break the spell?
00:17:41Well, Alvin's so impatient and marriage is so serious.
00:17:43Uh-huh.
00:17:44A girl just has to have time to make up her mind.
00:17:46Uh-huh.
00:17:47How long were you engaged?
00:17:48Well, we've known each other all our lives.
00:17:50We're supposed to get married day after tomorrow.
00:17:52But it's a long story.
00:17:53Uh-huh.
00:17:54Why do you keep saying, uh-huh?
00:17:56Alvin sounds a little on the dull side.
00:17:58Oh, no.
00:17:59He's really a very fine fellow.
00:18:01Exceptional.
00:18:02Maybe just not for me.
00:18:03Ah.
00:18:04You know, Willie, you keep losing the range.
00:18:07Once you got it, you gotta stick with your guns.
00:18:09Uh-huh.
00:18:10Uh-huh.
00:18:24Never mind.
00:18:25I have it.
00:18:26Keep the change.
00:18:28You can go out through the lower gate.
00:18:29Yes, ma'am.
00:18:34Yes, sir.
00:18:35When Hard Rock Hammond built this place,
00:18:37he certainly didn't spare the dollars.
00:18:39He wanted it to be the showplace of the town.
00:18:41And it was.
00:18:42Why, do you know that people used to come from miles around
00:18:44to see the place?
00:18:45Anybody can tell that this is your hometown.
00:18:47Well, it is in a way.
00:18:55Nobody home, huh?
00:18:56The caretaker must be around someplace.
00:18:58The gates were open.
00:18:59And then there's always Wiggins.
00:19:01Well, if you're the secretary, haven't you got a key?
00:19:04Of course.
00:19:05Where did I put that key?
00:19:07Now, don't tell me you've lost it.
00:19:10I know what we could do.
00:19:11Don't say it.
00:19:12I know what you're going to tell me.
00:19:13What?
00:19:14Maybe we could find a window and climb in.
00:19:15Very good.
00:19:16How did you get it?
00:19:17Hunches.
00:19:18I get them.
00:19:19Are you sure you work here?
00:19:20Of course I do.
00:19:21My, but you're a suspicious person.
00:19:23Well, all right.
00:19:24All right.
00:19:25We'll find a nice, low window and climb in.
00:19:27You ought to know where there's one.
00:19:28I do.
00:19:29I have one right around here.
00:19:35Here it is.
00:19:36It should be open.
00:19:37The lock's broken and never been fixed.
00:19:40I thought you said the lock was broken.
00:19:42Oh, you're right.
00:19:43It's stuck.
00:19:48Give me the bags.
00:19:58Come on, you're next.
00:19:59Oh, no, that's not the way.
00:20:00You go through and open the front door, and I walk in.
00:20:03Do you always have an accomplice?
00:20:05It's much easier with one.
00:20:06Hurry up and open the door.
00:20:26The mansion is ours, Lightfoot.
00:20:31You'll be happier on a rock pile with a pick.
00:20:34Come on.
00:20:35Well, what's the charge?
00:20:36Breaking and entering.
00:20:37We saw you climb through that window.
00:20:38Now, come on.
00:20:39Why do all of our friends get in that way?
00:20:40Ask the young lady.
00:20:41Hey, where is she?
00:20:42Oh, there she is.
00:20:45She works here.
00:20:46Willie, please explain to the gentleman that you belong here.
00:20:48I don't know why you have to drag me into this.
00:20:50Why don't you tell him just to go away?
00:20:51I think you like the notoriety.
00:20:54She's the personal secretary to the Hammond.
00:20:55She lost her key.
00:20:58I don't believe it.
00:20:59Sounds phony to me.
00:21:00It is.
00:21:01I'm not.
00:21:02Willie, what are you saying?
00:21:03You're telling the truth, don't you?
00:21:04And you promised there wouldn't be any more cops.
00:21:06Remember?
00:21:07I wish I had a lead pipe.
00:21:08I'd use it.
00:21:09You would use it?
00:21:10I know.
00:21:11You hate me.
00:21:12I hate you.
00:21:13Well, if you work here, you can prove it.
00:21:14And if you don't, we've got a place for you two.
00:21:17Mr. Clancy.
00:21:19Ladies first.
00:21:21I hate you.
00:21:22Yeah.
00:21:24And then we gentlemen.
00:21:30What'd they bring in this time, Ryan?
00:21:31Same stuff.
00:21:32Another guy in a dame?
00:21:33No, the same ones.
00:21:34Guess they're hitting the bottom of the barrel.
00:21:36You mean the same guys back twice in the same day with the same dame?
00:21:39That's what I said.
00:21:40First, they're in for car theft.
00:21:41Now, they're back booked for trespassing, breaking, and entering.
00:21:44Maybe burglary.
00:21:45Sounds like they hate the jackpot.
00:21:47Well, such an earnest couple deserves the privilege of the free press.
00:21:49How I tried and tried until they locked me up.
00:21:52Say, you think my readers will be interested?
00:21:54Sure.
00:21:55Those who can't spell out the words, flash it to them with a picture.
00:21:58Buddy, you said something.
00:21:59This I gotta see.
00:22:00Come on.
00:22:03Young fellow.
00:22:04Sergeant wants to see you.
00:22:05Oh, yes, sir.
00:22:07Not you, I said the young fellow.
00:22:09Here we go again.
00:22:10Just keep our little nest cozy, pal.
00:22:11I shall return.
00:22:12I certainly will.
00:22:13Hurry back.
00:22:16All right, call it.
00:22:17Hey!
00:22:18That's mine.
00:22:19No, it isn't.
00:22:20It's mine.
00:22:21Get away.
00:22:22Get away.
00:22:23Get away.
00:22:24Oh, where's that nice sergeant who was here this afternoon?
00:22:26Oh, the nice sergeant?
00:22:28Well, he got tired looking at the same faces, so he retired.
00:22:32But if you don't like my face, it'll be just too bad for you.
00:22:38Order.
00:22:39Sergeant, do you mean to tell me the same people come back all the time?
00:22:42Yes.
00:22:43Annoying, ain't it?
00:22:44But sitting here, we run into so many who have criminal tendencies.
00:22:47But back they come.
00:22:49And out they go.
00:22:50Oh, is that so?
00:22:51I think I know her.
00:22:52Me too.
00:22:53Now, you refused to give your name on the first charge and got away with it.
00:22:56That's right.
00:22:57Well, we'll start from there.
00:22:59Oh, sergeant, you don't seem to understand.
00:23:01I don't want my name in the record.
00:23:03Oh, and you don't seem to understand that this isn't an invitational affair.
00:23:08I have respect.
00:23:09I don't want the notarized.
00:23:11Keep after her, sergeant.
00:23:12She told me your name was Willie, but I don't believe her.
00:23:14You're the young man who broke into the Hammond house.
00:23:16He is.
00:23:17And this young lady was your accomplice.
00:23:19She was the warped brain behind the job, sergeant.
00:23:21Do tell.
00:23:22Before I fell in with her, I was a clean-cut, decent young chap.
00:23:25You look it.
00:23:27Such conceit.
00:23:28Now, young lady, as long as you haven't given your name,
00:23:30I'm afraid we'll just have to start giving you a number.
00:23:35Respect for the sergeant.
00:23:37Sergeant, just between the two of us, may I whisper something to you?
00:23:40Whisper something? Of course. Come around.
00:23:43I think I interviewed her two years ago.
00:23:46Boys, boys, get away.
00:23:48Can't the lady speak to the gentleman in conference?
00:23:50Get away, get away.
00:23:51Where's your manners?
00:23:53And you two, go on, go on. Get away, get away.
00:23:56Now.
00:23:59Oh, I do understand, miss.
00:24:01I thought you would.
00:24:02And you think that at a time like this,
00:24:04that any differences that you've had in your private lives
00:24:06should be kept strictly from the public.
00:24:08That's right.
00:24:09Well, a misapprehension like this could influence them.
00:24:11I know those voters.
00:24:13The case is dismissed.
00:24:15Thank you, sergeant.
00:24:16I'll see that Mr. Bailey hears about this.
00:24:18Mr. Bailey?
00:24:19Oh, thank you, ma'am. Thank you.
00:24:20I know her. I got it.
00:24:22It's Wilhelmina Hammond.
00:24:23Sure.
00:24:24Don't you remember, I met you last year.
00:24:25You were down launching a boat.
00:24:26I thought you were supposed to marry Mr. Bailey.
00:24:28Sure, you're supposed to be in New York with him.
00:24:30What's the matter, a rift?
00:24:31Sergeant, you can't win.
00:24:32Indeed, you can't.
00:24:33You're a good sport, Miss Hammond.
00:24:34What about a picture shaking hands with the sergeant?
00:24:36That's a good idea.
00:24:37How about whispering in his ear?
00:24:38That's a better one.
00:24:39Oh, all right.
00:24:40That's it. Oh, this will be perfect.
00:24:42Yeah.
00:24:44All right.
00:24:45Miss Hammond, now that the boy's mentioned it,
00:24:47your face is familiar.
00:24:48Magazine covers?
00:24:49High Society and the Sunday Supplement?
00:24:50Smearing your face with cold cream?
00:24:51Before and after for charity?
00:24:52I might as well admit it.
00:24:53I am Wilhelmina Pierce Hammond, but I thought if you knew...
00:24:55Sure, you might have been caught out with the wrong guy.
00:24:57I should have sent my pedigree to your press agent.
00:24:59Don't you dare talk that way to Miss Hammond.
00:25:01Oh, sorry, Captain.
00:25:03Captain.
00:25:05I hate you.
00:25:06Hold it.
00:25:07Hey, wait a minute.
00:25:08Hey, wait a minute.
00:25:09Hey, wait a minute.
00:25:10Hey, wait a minute.
00:25:11I've got to hang my name.
00:25:12What's this man's name?
00:25:13We're going to have a lecture on him.
00:25:14Miss Hammond, I know you've split with Alvin,
00:25:16but you can't do that.
00:25:17Miss Hammond, I know you've split with Alvin Bailey III,
00:25:19but I'd like to get a statement from you.
00:25:21He's a very ambitious fellow.
00:25:22He might get in your hair.
00:25:23No statement, please.
00:25:24Marion, surely you don't think I meant to embarrass you.
00:25:26I thought if I told you who I am that you'd be...
00:25:28The build-up you've got doesn't blind me, sister.
00:25:30I'm not interested.
00:25:31All I want from you now is my suitcase.
00:25:33I left it over at your little cottage in the reception hall.
00:25:35Well, of course.
00:25:36Miss Hammond, my men will drive you home.
00:25:38Thank you, sir.
00:25:39You're welcome.
00:25:40See, I didn't get your name, bud.
00:25:41I know you didn't.
00:25:42It wouldn't mean any more to you than 10 million others.
00:25:43How about a picture, Miss Hammond?
00:25:44A picture?
00:25:46Go on, shoot your picture.
00:25:47Okay.
00:25:49Was it a blind date?
00:25:50What's his name?
00:25:51No, he's one of the first ones I've had in a long time
00:25:53with my eyes open.
00:25:54Not bad, is he?
00:25:55Very good, I'd say.
00:25:56Come on.
00:25:57Come on, don't keep the lady waiting.
00:25:59Here, here, no words with the sergeant.
00:26:01Get in before he loses his temper.
00:26:03Go on, get in, get in, get in, get in.
00:26:05Bye.
00:26:06Well, goodbye, Miss Hammond.
00:26:08Goodbye.
00:26:09Take care of her, boys.
00:26:10Pull out.
00:26:16Shit.
00:26:20Is there anything else we can do for you, Miss Hammond?
00:26:22I hope not, thank you.
00:26:23If there is, I'll call you.
00:26:24You can leave by the lower gate.
00:26:33How did I ever get so involved with you?
00:26:35You're getting out of my life, understand?
00:26:36Why, I'm supposed to be getting...
00:26:37I know, I'm a bother, you hate me.
00:26:38Married, if you go away, I'll scream!
00:26:41Well, I was just going back to my wife.
00:26:43Well, I was just going back to open the window.
00:26:46Please don't be angry with me.
00:26:48I just remember where I put the key.
00:26:50It's been right in his pocket all the time.
00:26:54Marion, don't leave me!
00:26:55Wait for me!
00:27:02Marion.
00:27:03Yes, Miss Hammond?
00:27:04I want you to know I saw the uniform in your suitcase.
00:27:06Uh, snooping?
00:27:07No, but when you went for the gas, it was open,
00:27:10and when I tried to close it, I saw the ribbons on your uniform.
00:27:12You closed it.
00:27:14Marion, don't go away.
00:27:15I want to talk to you.
00:27:18Go ahead.
00:27:19You should be ashamed of yourself.
00:27:21Why?
00:27:22For running away.
00:27:23What kind of a life can you hope for?
00:27:25Shame and escape.
00:27:26Maybe you can get by with it for a while,
00:27:28but in the end, you'll be made to realize what you've done.
00:27:31You said so yourself.
00:27:32I was doing all right till I met you.
00:27:34Oh, dear.
00:27:37No lights.
00:27:38Why don't you pay your bills?
00:27:39I can't understand it.
00:27:40We never discontinued the service.
00:27:42Have you got a match?
00:27:47You know, Marion, I'm worried.
00:27:49I could be put in prison for harboring you.
00:27:51You should get 20 years to life,
00:27:53but I'm getting out of here before you throw me to the police again.
00:27:55All right, skip what might happen to me,
00:27:58but I don't want to see the worst happen to you.
00:28:00Let me drive you back to camp.
00:28:02Give yourself up before you're court-martialed and shot.
00:28:04You're a good kid, Willie.
00:28:06Of course I want to go back.
00:28:07That's why I burn so every time you sound it off.
00:28:09But I can't go back.
00:28:11Ever hear of a medical discharge?
00:28:13Are you serious?
00:28:14In like a lion and out like a lamb.
00:28:16That's me.
00:28:18Marion, don't go.
00:28:20You let me keep stabbing at you.
00:28:23I saw you limp when you went to get the gas,
00:28:25but I thought it was only a hitchhiker's blister.
00:28:27What a fool I am.
00:28:29I should have trusted you all the way.
00:28:32But you could still be in uniform, couldn't you?
00:28:35Yeah, for a while and for official occasions.
00:28:37But I figure it's strictly a fighting outfit.
00:28:39Mine belongs among my souvenirs.
00:28:42It's chilly in here.
00:28:44Let's light the fire.
00:28:46I love an open fire.
00:28:47All right, Willie.
00:28:53It's good to be back in the old hometown, isn't it?
00:28:56That's all you dream about out there.
00:28:58Has it changed much?
00:29:00No, it's perfect.
00:29:01Just what I wanted it to be.
00:29:04Did you notice the little square in front of the old courthouse?
00:29:07I hoped it'd be there.
00:29:08It's always been there.
00:29:10I've noticed that.
00:29:11Does your family know you're coming home?
00:29:13I bet they'll be awfully glad to see you.
00:29:15I haven't any family.
00:29:17I'm an orphan.
00:29:18But you've lived here all your life.
00:29:20In a way.
00:29:21That's a strange answer.
00:29:23Willie, I've never been in this town before in my life.
00:29:26What?
00:29:27I'm the prodigal come home,
00:29:29but I had no home to come back to.
00:29:31But it's all your country.
00:29:32It's your home.
00:29:33Yes, and it was good to fight for it.
00:29:35But a lot of what my home is has been a dream.
00:29:38I want it to come true here in Plainfield.
00:29:41Why Plainfield?
00:29:42A fellow gave me this town.
00:29:44He grew up here.
00:29:45He told me all about it.
00:29:47He fished in the river,
00:29:48knew love for the first time in the park.
00:29:51He took his oath on the steps of that old courthouse.
00:29:54In civvies with a band playing,
00:29:56he and the other guys were drafted with him,
00:29:58marched to the station and took the train.
00:30:01But always he talked about my hometown.
00:30:05He liked the way the winter comes
00:30:07and the way the spring breaks.
00:30:10And it's spring now.
00:30:15Over there, I learned that a guy has to do his own dying.
00:30:19And I said to this GI,
00:30:21brother, if ever you're out of this,
00:30:22you're gonna do your own living.
00:30:24And you're gonna start it right there in Plainfield.
00:30:28Must have been an awfully good friend.
00:30:30The best.
00:30:31We shared the same foxhole.
00:30:33I left him just three miles outside of a place you can't pronounce.
00:30:38I shouldn't have looked back, but I did.
00:30:40He looked up and yelled,
00:30:42keep going, Miriam.
00:30:44It's the shortest way home.
00:30:47It's your hometown now.
00:30:49I give it to you.
00:30:51Was it all so terrible?
00:30:54Yeah, for the others.
00:30:56But I'm the lucky one.
00:30:57I'm the one who came home.
00:30:59All right, I'll speak to him if you say I must.
00:31:02Yes, Alvin, I can hear you.
00:31:04But I'm not a common thief.
00:31:05I only borrowed it.
00:31:08Oh, dear.
00:31:09Oh, dear.
00:31:11Oh, dear.
00:31:12Can't you say anything besides oh, dear?
00:31:13You're losing the range again.
00:31:16Alvin, I'm sorry if it was embarrassing for you.
00:31:18But you don't want to make a mistake either.
00:31:21Yes, I know it's too late with the wedding in two days, but...
00:31:24Are you gonna let him do your living for you?
00:31:25Talk back to him.
00:31:27Alvin, don't you dare come down here.
00:31:32It won't do you a bit of good.
00:31:35Man?
00:31:37What man?
00:31:39I'm sure I don't know who you mean.
00:31:42Oh, him.
00:31:44Well, he's just the new chauffeur.
00:31:46Yes?
00:31:48Oh, yes, mother.
00:31:50All right, mother.
00:31:51Goodbye, dear.
00:31:54Alvin, the whole family are coming down in the morning.
00:31:57He's very angry.
00:31:58Says he's gonna punch you in the nose.
00:31:59Thank you for putting me on my guard.
00:32:01But you can't stay here.
00:32:02Why, sure, you don't want to disappoint Alvin,
00:32:04and I wouldn't miss it for anything in the world.
00:32:06I'm the new chauffeur, remember?
00:32:08And I start right out by being fresh.
00:32:14Now he's got a reason to be sore.
00:32:16You're fired.
00:32:17Mm-mm, not after that one.
00:32:19You're getting the range again.
00:32:20Now, don't let your family and Alvin push you around.
00:32:22Stick to your guns.
00:32:24Why do you think?
00:32:25Well, it wasn't a new idea.
00:32:27I wanted to be sure that Spark was still there.
00:32:29Late family, what am I going to do marrying them?
00:32:32The Hammonds have always done the expected thing.
00:32:34Why, they're the backbone of proper society.
00:32:37Grandfather said that a girl just has to...
00:32:38Look, Willie, I don't care what the old boy said,
00:32:40but I'm sure he did his own living.
00:32:42Willie, I like the way your eyes sparkle.
00:32:53Well.
00:32:59Hmm.
00:33:01Surely, Miss Wilhelmina, this can't be you.
00:33:04Of course it's I, Wiggins.
00:33:05Where have you been?
00:33:06Yeah, but this, this is not Mr. Alvin you're kissing.
00:33:09I wasn't kissing him.
00:33:10Wiggins, Miss Wilhelmina inquired, where have you been?
00:33:12Young man, I resent that.
00:33:14That's right, where have you been, and why no light?
00:33:16Well, I've got to go.
00:33:18Young man, I resent that.
00:33:20That's right, where have you been, and why no light?
00:33:22Oh, you know this is Lodge Night.
00:33:25Miss Wilhelmina, you know I haven't missed a lodge meeting in over 25 years.
00:33:29That's why my brother members of the lodge made me the captain of the drill company,
00:33:34and also the grand welcomer for the Plainfield Plainsview Committee.
00:33:38What did you get the medals for, swimming?
00:33:40Yes, swimming.
00:33:42I hate water.
00:33:44Young man, let me inform you,
00:33:45I was presented with these medals for having the best drill company in our entire organization.
00:33:50The best drilled in department, discipline, and marching,
00:33:54which, of course, are things that you would know nothing, absolutely nothing about.
00:33:58Oh, Miss Wilhelmina, the brother lodge members this evening
00:34:02congratulated me on your coming marriage to, uh, Mr. Alvin.
00:34:06The snobs.
00:34:07You are a little premature.
00:34:09Why no light?
00:34:10Hmm, what is it?
00:34:11Why no light?
00:34:12Oh, the lights, lights, lights.
00:34:13Oh, I flew a fuse.
00:34:15I mean, I blew a fuse.
00:34:17I just put in a fresh plug.
00:34:19How long have you been eavesdropping?
00:34:21Eavesdropping?
00:34:22Oh, Miss Wilhelmina, you have cut me to the quick.
00:34:26Oh.
00:34:29Young man, let me tell you something.
00:34:31I have been a sort of secretary and general manager for this entire state for many, many years.
00:34:38In fact, many years before this child was born.
00:34:41Oh.
00:34:43Wilhelmina.
00:34:44Miss Wilhelmina.
00:34:46Does the family, uh, know this, uh, person?
00:34:49Right now, I am sort of a rumor.
00:34:51Wiggins.
00:34:52He's working here now.
00:34:53You know how difficult it's been to hire chauffeurs since Stanley was drafted.
00:34:56Oh, yes, yes, yes.
00:34:57I understand the health problem.
00:34:59But that is no excuse for you kissing him.
00:35:02Miss Wilhelmina, I dislike very much doing this in your presence.
00:35:05Will you please step aside?
00:35:08Young man.
00:35:09Young man.
00:35:11I shall have to throw you out.
00:35:14Wiggins.
00:35:15Oh, thank you.
00:35:16Why aren't you forgetting yourself?
00:35:17And if you want to tell Mother and Mr. Alvin what you saw, go right ahead and be an old tattletale.
00:35:22I didn't tell them about that butcher boy, did I?
00:35:25What butcher boy?
00:35:26Well, he was a big hulking fellow who...
00:35:28I was only eight years old at the time.
00:35:30Oh.
00:35:31Wiggins, go to bed.
00:35:33Mother and the family are coming down in the morning.
00:35:35The servants are arriving tonight.
00:35:36Now go to bed right now.
00:35:37Yes, Miss.
00:35:38Young man, your quarters are up over the garage.
00:35:42And always bear in mind, remember at all times,
00:35:45you are now in the service of the most sheltered young lady in America.
00:35:49We've already discussed that, Wiggins.
00:35:50I shall be back shortly to lock up this place.
00:35:54Good night.
00:35:55Good night.
00:36:02What a pushing around you take, Willie.
00:36:04You're even afraid of that character.
00:36:06Marion, you'll have to go.
00:36:07You can't stay here.
00:36:08Very well, Miss.
00:36:09What time would you like the car in the morning?
00:36:11Now, don't be difficult.
00:36:12If you should need me before the folks arrive in the morning,
00:36:14you'll find me over the garage.
00:36:16Good night.
00:36:24Night, Willie.
00:36:37Well, well, well.
00:36:41Hello, Wiggins.
00:36:45Camille, you take the trousseau right up to Miss Wilhelmina's room.
00:36:48We're with them.
00:36:49Morton, get the luggage.
00:36:51Mr. Alvin and his trainer stopped at the police station to claim his car.
00:36:55Where is Miss Wilhelmina?
00:36:56In her room, Mrs. Hammond.
00:36:57Tell her we're here, please.
00:36:58Don't bother.
00:37:00Sis is picking up this broadcast right now.
00:37:03Young lady, next year you're going to be sent to finishing school.
00:37:06And you stop listening to the radio.
00:37:08It's ruining you.
00:37:11Who is that?
00:37:13Who?
00:37:14Huh?
00:37:15Oh, him.
00:37:16He's the new chauffeur.
00:37:18Miss Wilhelmina said you knew.
00:37:20Yes, of course.
00:37:21Of course I know.
00:37:22Certainly I know.
00:37:24Patricia, go in the house.
00:37:26Huh.
00:37:27There was more swoon to him in that picture in the Times.
00:37:31I thought his eyes would be brown.
00:37:33Those pictures really are in the papers, huh?
00:37:35Yes.
00:37:36Yes, they are, in all of them.
00:37:37It seems that the press is giving you and my eldest daughter quite a bit of uncalled-for notoriety.
00:37:42I'll speak to you later, young man.
00:37:44Just take the car around.
00:37:46Oh, uh, can you drive?
00:37:49Yes, Mrs. Hammond.
00:37:51Mm.
00:37:52Patricia, go in the house.
00:37:56In my day, it was the groom who made the passes.
00:38:00It was such a nice one who used to give me riding lessons.
00:38:04Harriet, we never mentioned him, not since he accepted that money from your father.
00:38:10Well, I can dream, can't I?
00:38:13Patricia, why don't you go in the house?
00:38:16My goodness, I have never seen such a child as you are.
00:38:31Go away.
00:38:33I don't want to see anyone.
00:38:34Relax.
00:38:35It's not that newfound wool-polling.
00:38:38It's your little sister.
00:38:39You shouldn't talk like that, Pat.
00:38:41I can read, can't I?
00:38:43They mentioned you on the radio, too.
00:38:45Called you a fickle heiress.
00:38:46Are you alone?
00:38:47Of course not.
00:38:48The whole tribe's collecting.
00:38:50Camille and Mother and Aunt Harriet with her knitting.
00:38:53Boy, they're going to skin you.
00:38:55You come in here.
00:39:00What are you staring at?
00:39:01You don't look mauled.
00:39:02What'd they feed you in jail, bread and water?
00:39:05I didn't eat anything.
00:39:06It was all a mistake.
00:39:07But you were in jail twice.
00:39:09Gee, I wish I could drive.
00:39:10I'd pick up some fella.
00:39:11Did you marry him?
00:39:12Of course not.
00:39:14Well, he's not bad, considering how empty the roads are.
00:39:20Who is it?
00:39:21It's Wiggins.
00:39:22Miss Wilhelmina, your mother wants to see you downstairs before Mr. Alvin gets here.
00:39:27I'm not coming, Wiggins, till I've already been through too much.
00:39:30I'm staying in my room all day.
00:39:32Well, I'll tell her.
00:39:34Tell me, Pat, what did they really say?
00:39:36Oh, they had a full ten rounds of top blowing.
00:39:38Mother said, it's a disgrace.
00:39:41But of course it's all a misprint.
00:39:43Then Alvin held up this picture and said, how could she do this to me?
00:39:47How can I explain it to the women voters?
00:39:49In the face of this, I'll never be elected as zoning commissioner.
00:39:52Boy, were they corny.
00:39:54Wasn't he worried about me?
00:39:56No, he said you shouldn't have ripped your stockings.
00:39:58It looked common.
00:39:59They don't credit me with having any mind or emotion of my own.
00:40:03Just because Marion is regular, I suppose I can't speak to him without having my knees shake.
00:40:08Well, I don't know.
00:40:09One paper said you told the police you'd call them if you had any more trouble with them.
00:40:15Who is it now?
00:40:16It's Aunt Harriet, dear.
00:40:18Auntie, please.
00:40:20Don't you want to hear from the voice of experience?
00:40:27Your mother's terribly upset, dear.
00:40:29Really, you shouldn't lock yourself in.
00:40:31It's all over with Alvin.
00:40:32I have nothing to say.
00:40:33We mean it's all over with you.
00:40:35There are other men.
00:40:36Not for you, dear.
00:40:37The more prominent you are, the fewer there are.
00:40:39What about Harriet Hammond?
00:40:41Is that why you never married?
00:40:42Yeah, what was the dirt?
00:40:43I'm old enough to know.
00:40:45He wanted money more than he wanted me.
00:40:47By the time my tears were dry, I'd knit my way through the First World War.
00:40:51Now I'm knitting my way through another war, alone.
00:40:54Because after that, no acceptable man came along.
00:40:56You're trying to frighten me.
00:40:57Yes.
00:40:58Alvin's your sort.
00:40:59Now don't be silly and throw him over for a stranger with an empty promise.
00:41:03I didn't know you were so unhappy.
00:41:05I'm not.
00:41:06I'm not happy either.
00:41:08You should take your problem over with that man on the radio.
00:41:11Boy, he's wonderful.
00:41:13Pat, I took it up with myself, but too late.
00:41:17Uh-oh.
00:41:18Well, Wilhelmina.
00:41:19I hardly know what to say.
00:41:21This scandal has my head reeling.
00:41:23I...
00:41:24Oh, I think I'm going to faint.
00:41:27Come on, save the nerves.
00:41:30If you only knew how corny you are.
00:41:33I don't want to hear that word corny again.
00:41:37You're becoming a juvenile delinquent.
00:41:40I'm not a juvenile delinquent.
00:41:42I'm a juvenile delinquent.
00:41:44I don't want to hear that word corny again.
00:41:47You're becoming a juvenile delinquent.
00:41:49You're incorrigible, you little, um, pest.
00:41:53Well, I'll think of something.
00:41:56Leave the room.
00:41:57Yes, come along, Pat.
00:41:58You're too young for this.
00:42:00Oh, how am I ever going to know?
00:42:01Don't you want me to be ready?
00:42:03You will be.
00:42:07Think it over.
00:42:08A man in the hand right now.
00:42:12Well, Wilhelmina.
00:42:14I suppose, Mother, I shouldn't have behaved as I did.
00:42:17Apparently, that was only the beginning.
00:42:20Um, who is this young man?
00:42:22He's just a fellow who likes this town and wants to live here.
00:42:25Yes, but who is his family?
00:42:27He hasn't any.
00:42:29Oh.
00:42:30Oh!
00:42:31Then you mean to say that you really know nothing at all about him?
00:42:34Must I?
00:42:35Well, you can see what happens when you don't know who people are.
00:42:40Oh, Alvin is terribly upset.
00:42:43I didn't hurt his car.
00:42:45No, but all this publicity has impaired his political aspirations.
00:42:49It's not dignified.
00:42:50And with Alvin on the ticket.
00:42:52Well, I'm not on the ticket.
00:42:53No, but your fiancé is.
00:42:55I ran away from Alvin because it was all I could think to do.
00:42:58The point is, I don't love Alvin.
00:43:00I never have.
00:43:02I'm not going to stay instead.
00:43:04It's a long time for keep.
00:43:06But that's what we're thinking of, dear, your future.
00:43:09Mother, you're trying to say that I'm in love with Marion.
00:43:12If I am, I didn't realize it.
00:43:14You mean you care nothing about this stranger?
00:43:17Everyone seems to think I do.
00:43:19Who am I to argue?
00:43:20Look at the future I have with him.
00:43:22Mr. and Mrs. Nobody.
00:43:24Plainfield.
00:43:25She picked him up when they were in jail together.
00:43:27That's how it all began.
00:43:29He wanted to show her the fire engine and take her for a walk in the park.
00:43:32But she said, no, no, take me home.
00:43:35He did.
00:43:36To a great big empty house.
00:43:38A cold house that has never meant a thing except that it says the Hamlins are very rich.
00:43:43But then something happened.
00:43:45While she stood there with him, it began to ring with the sound of his heart.
00:43:49He brought a yearning with him that filled it with warmth and a promise of the future.
00:43:54That's what he has.
00:43:56And that's what I'm going to share with him.
00:43:58Once you've gotten over your intatuation,
00:44:00you will find that all you have left to share is what you've given up for him.
00:44:04That isn't fair to any man.
00:44:06That isn't fair to any man.
00:44:08Not even a fortune hunter.
00:44:10Miss Camille?
00:44:11Yes, come in, Camille.
00:44:14You'll have to try this on if you're to wear it.
00:44:16The wedding's off.
00:44:17Certainly it isn't off.
00:44:19Wilhelmina, we have tried being rational with you,
00:44:22but since that seems to have no effect...
00:44:24What will?
00:44:25Put on your wedding dress.
00:44:27I am not going to put that dress on!
00:44:28You all get out of here! Get out!
00:44:30Get right out of this room!
00:44:32What am I going to tell Alvin?
00:44:33You've already made up your mind.
00:44:35Get out!
00:44:44I think there's too much carbon monoxide coming out of that exhaust.
00:44:47You said it, Chief.
00:44:48It ain't good for your lungs.
00:44:49Take a deep breath.
00:44:53Get the briefcase.
00:44:54Yeah.
00:44:55Get my acceptance speech in it.
00:44:56And also the calcium tablet.
00:44:58You want this afternoon's paper with your photograph in it, Chief?
00:45:01Yes, with the comments.
00:45:02I won't be willing to see for herself
00:45:03what Uncle Rumpus has done for my popularity poll.
00:45:05You said it, Chief.
00:45:07Oh, Wiggins, I am so upset.
00:45:09My nerves are just in a dither.
00:45:11No, no.
00:45:12Now, just be calm.
00:45:13Be calm.
00:45:14Yes.
00:45:15Yes, Wiggins.
00:45:16I must be calm.
00:45:17I must be calm.
00:45:19Oh, Mr. Alvin.
00:45:21I am so glad to see you.
00:45:23I know, Wiggins.
00:45:24Oh, Alvin.
00:45:25I cannot manage Wilhelmina at all.
00:45:27She's behaving like a volcano.
00:45:29She won't even come out of her room.
00:45:31You're giving her too much consideration.
00:45:33Oh, really?
00:45:34Is that it?
00:45:35Is there anything I can do for you, Chief?
00:45:36No, relax.
00:45:37Relax.
00:45:38Odd fellow, isn't he?
00:45:40If we don't ignore what's happened, we can't expect the public to do it.
00:45:43Yes, but she seems to have made up her mind.
00:45:46So have I.
00:45:47When I proposed to Willie, I didn't expect it all to be smooth sailing.
00:45:50I appreciated the fact that the burden of our public life would be on my shoulders.
00:45:54Now, Willie seems to resent from the particle hand I'm taking our marriage plans.
00:45:58She said it takes some of the romance away from us.
00:46:00That's nonsense.
00:46:02That's why we quarreled.
00:46:04But you have to be keenly rational today to get things done.
00:46:07Oh, Alvin, you have so much sound sense.
00:46:10I'm going to talk to her about this.
00:46:12But right now we must lose no time in correcting the impression she's made.
00:46:15Oh, you're right.
00:46:16You're absolutely right.
00:46:18Mohammed wouldn't go to the mountain.
00:46:19Very well.
00:46:20We'll have the wedding right here.
00:46:21The best way to squelch this rumor that Willie has thrown me over is to have the wedding.
00:46:26Here?
00:46:27Tomorrow?
00:46:28Yes.
00:46:29To the point.
00:46:30Then after the wedding, I'll make a statement.
00:46:32I'll simply say that my wife rightly objected to an extravagant wedding.
00:46:36She preceded me here to plan the simple ceremony.
00:46:39And we are the happiest couple in public life.
00:46:42Alvin, do you...
00:46:43Are you corny?
00:46:45Patricia, that word!
00:46:47Someday I'll think of something to stop you, young lady.
00:46:50But how will that explain the young man Wilhelmina picked up when she left you?
00:46:54I'm afraid the newspapers may want a follow-up story on him.
00:46:57That's on my shoulders, too.
00:46:58They sure will.
00:46:59What was he doing on the road anyway when she picked him up?
00:47:02Yes, Patricia.
00:47:03Oh, my dear, how bright you are.
00:47:06Isn't she?
00:47:08Oh, but Alvin, we must get rid of him.
00:47:11You don't realize how imperative that is.
00:47:13I'm equal to the job, mother.
00:47:15Ah, the chief's in top condition.
00:47:18Yes, but I'd rather you used your head, Alvin.
00:47:22Is Willie in her room?
00:47:23Yes, yes, she is.
00:47:25She didn't want to be unkind to the stranger.
00:47:27You know how she is.
00:47:29He probably threatened her, and it got into the papers.
00:47:32Now you send the telegrams and phone the minister, and I'll take care of him.
00:47:36Oh, Alvin, you're such a comfort.
00:47:38You make everything sound so simple.
00:47:40Thank you, mother.
00:47:46Oh, Patricia, you frightened me.
00:47:48Mother, if you knew how...
00:47:50Ah, don't you dare say that word.
00:47:52So long, mom.
00:47:53I'll see you later.
00:47:56Child.
00:47:59He held the gun close to her head.
00:48:01She screamed...
00:48:03Oh, definitely corny.
00:48:08Oh, what am I saying?
00:48:11My.
00:48:14Paulina?
00:48:15Alvin, you know I don't want to be here.
00:48:18But I must talk to you about this vagrant you were in jail with.
00:48:21Under what conditions did you employ him?
00:48:23He didn't have a job.
00:48:25Did he give you his availability certificate?
00:48:27Why, no.
00:48:28Then I can't very well give it back to him.
00:48:30I'm glad the papers didn't pick that up.
00:48:32You must be more careful, Wilhelmina.
00:48:34It wouldn't look right in print that the future Mrs. Alvin Bailey
00:48:37illegally hired a chauffeur.
00:48:39But I'll straighten him out.
00:48:41You'll straighten no one out, Alvin.
00:48:43But, Willie, don't protect this fellow against me.
00:48:46You've already given the press something for the backstage gossip to hang his hat on,
00:48:49so I'm taking over.
00:48:51Why?
00:48:52Because you're the pitiful victim of a conniving upstart.
00:48:54I'm not pitiful.
00:48:56Wilhelmina, our marriage plans have been too great a strain on you.
00:49:02Alvin.
00:49:03Relax.
00:49:04Get a lot of fresh air.
00:49:06Breathe deeply.
00:49:08But, Alvin, I don't love you.
00:49:11Time to talk about that after the wedding.
00:49:15I'm Wilhelmina's sister, Patricia.
00:49:18Better move away from here.
00:49:19You'll get oil on you.
00:49:20You sure got Wilhelmina into a jam.
00:49:23What?
00:49:24I said you sure got Wilhelmina into a jam.
00:49:29What's happened to Miss Wilhelmina?
00:49:31I bet you didn't call her Miss Wilhelmina when you got arrested.
00:49:34Are you trying to work up into a quiz, kid?
00:49:37Well, I know everything.
00:49:39Mother despises you.
00:49:41She said so.
00:49:42What does your sister say?
00:49:44She's on Alvin's shoulders, and he can handle you, too.
00:49:47When Mr. Bailey wants me, he won't have to look for me.
00:49:50He's bigger than you are.
00:49:52He's got a chest expansion, too.
00:49:54That's hot air, kid.
00:49:55Now beat it.
00:49:56I mean, please go.
00:49:58What's your other name besides Marion?
00:50:00Don't you ever read the newspapers?
00:50:01Sure, and I listen to the radio, too.
00:50:03Well, that's good.
00:50:05What were you doing on that road, anyway?
00:50:07Coming home the hard way.
00:50:09Now get out of here, will you?
00:50:11I heard you the first time.
00:50:15Boy, you sure look corny in that coat.
00:50:18And you look worse, too, when Alvin gets through with you.
00:50:21He can lick you with one hand tied behind him.
00:50:24Bah!
00:50:25Who's corny now?
00:50:27Why, you.
00:50:31Hit him, Alvin.
00:50:32You didn't give Miss Hammond your availability certificate,
00:50:34so, of course, she couldn't employ you.
00:50:36Now clear out.
00:50:37When she wants to fire me, she'll tell me.
00:50:39Throw him out, Alvin.
00:50:41Looks like I'll have to.
00:50:43Uh, didn't Miss Valina tell you that one of my duties
00:50:46is to keep the firing range clear?
00:50:48Don't lead with your right, chief.
00:50:50Stop that, both of you.
00:50:51Please.
00:50:52Don't hit him, Marion.
00:50:53He has a heart of gold.
00:50:54He's got a heart of gold, too.
00:50:56Stop that, both of you.
00:50:57Please.
00:50:58Don't hit him, Marion.
00:50:59He has a heart murmur.
00:51:00Well, no wonder.
00:51:01Blowing himself up like that, he probably rattled.
00:51:05You meant that.
00:51:10You're disappointing.
00:51:13I told you not to lead with your right, chief.
00:51:15You're fired.
00:51:17I'm in the clear.
00:51:18He changed his defense on you.
00:51:21It's quite obvious, young man, that you are not welcome here.
00:51:25I told you not to hit him.
00:51:27What am I, a guinea pig?
00:51:28Apparently, you're a young man who's trying to make a place
00:51:31for himself in this town.
00:51:32But we are very particular who lives here.
00:51:36Well, I'm particular, too, Mrs. Hammond.
00:51:38In fact, I sacrificed a lot for this place.
00:51:40Don't you threaten me.
00:51:42If we have to find another job for you to be rid of you,
00:51:46why, we'll find one.
00:51:48We should throw him in jail.
00:51:50What for?
00:51:51Battery?
00:51:52You're to blame for this, Alvin.
00:51:53I wish he'd blacken both your eyes.
00:51:55Let him try.
00:51:56I'm on my feet now.
00:52:00Uh-uh.
00:52:01No.
00:52:02No.
00:52:03Come on, Alvin.
00:52:04I'll patch you up.
00:52:05A piece of steak.
00:52:11Hey, what am I doing with this thing?
00:52:15Oh, wait, Patricia.
00:52:16You ain't got to do that.
00:52:17Oh, wait, Patricia.
00:52:18You annoy me.
00:52:20Young man, you have caused us a great deal of trouble.
00:52:23First, getting into the newspapers with my other daughter,
00:52:25and now this.
00:52:27I'm sorry.
00:52:28They wanted to fire me.
00:52:29Well, Amina should never have engaged you in the first place.
00:52:32I don't even know how you got through our gate.
00:52:35Now that you're here, we don't know what to do with you.
00:52:38I haven't asked you for anything.
00:52:39No.
00:52:40But you know who we are.
00:52:42And you know that we can afford to pay for our mistakes.
00:52:45Very well, Mrs. Hammond.
00:52:46My time is worth plenty.
00:52:48I've learned it's the one thing I've got.
00:52:50What have you to offer?
00:52:51Oh.
00:52:52Oh, well, I happen to know that Hammond Investments
00:52:55have a few openings in the Western Desert near Needles.
00:52:58It's a long way off.
00:52:59We'll be very happy to have you there.
00:53:02That's pretty rugged country.
00:53:03I know.
00:53:04A tank corps trained there.
00:53:05Yes, yes.
00:53:06Now, we're putting in a new development.
00:53:07And the thermometer hits 130.
00:53:09Oh, but you'll be inside in one of our air conditioned offices
00:53:13at a desk job.
00:53:14Believe me, young man, you will never be given
00:53:17such a wonderful opportunity again.
00:53:19I hope not.
00:53:20And besides, what are you here?
00:53:23At the moment, you're nothing more than a chauffeur.
00:53:26It's not even his coat.
00:53:27Stanley gets it back when he's out of the service.
00:53:30Why, that's wonderful, Patricia.
00:53:32You're wonderful.
00:53:33I had no idea she was so bright.
00:53:35No way.
00:53:36I suppose I should consider it.
00:53:38Oh, indeed.
00:53:39I believe you should.
00:53:40It's a wonderful opportunity.
00:53:42Why am I arguing with you?
00:53:44You are discharged.
00:53:46I'll let you know.
00:53:48Oh, well, thank you.
00:53:50Thank you, Mrs. Hammond.
00:53:52Oh, no.
00:53:55Come along, Patricia darling.
00:53:59Yes, yes, Governor.
00:54:00Go ahead, ask me.
00:54:01Sure, I've seen that nonsense in the papers
00:54:03about Wilhelmina and me.
00:54:05A ripped piffle.
00:54:06It's just more of their smear campaign against me.
00:54:09They'll trump up anything to keep me from being elected.
00:54:11Well, Willie and I are the perfect couple.
00:54:13And we're going to be married tomorrow as planned.
00:54:17It's the governor.
00:54:18He wants us to drive over.
00:54:20He wants to see you to be reassured that there's
00:54:22nothing to this scandal you got yourself into.
00:54:24You can't go with that steak.
00:54:26Let him wear it.
00:54:27We won't eat it now.
00:54:28If you'd hit him like I told you to, Alvin,
00:54:30we could have had that steak for dinner.
00:54:32Hello, Wilton.
00:54:33The little woman would love to come over with her mother.
00:54:36But I'm afraid I'm tied up.
00:54:38Oh, nothing really.
00:54:39Just my last night free, you know.
00:54:41I thought I'd run over my campaign speech
00:54:43and put in a few more promises.
00:54:45Yes, governor.
00:54:46Willie and her dear mother will be over.
00:54:49Goodbye.
00:54:53Did you have to do that to us?
00:54:55But you've upset the governor too.
00:54:57I think it's very nice of the governor
00:54:59to take so much interest.
00:55:01Oh, uh, Wiggins, tell the chauffeur
00:55:03to bring the car around.
00:55:04Oh, uh, do you think it's wise to have him drive?
00:55:07Oh, you're right, Wiggins.
00:55:08I don't think this Marion fellow should drive.
00:55:10You're not there.
00:55:11Why not?
00:55:12Why, don't be a fool, Alvin.
00:55:14I will be with them.
00:55:17Of course, mother.
00:55:19You see, I'm jealous of you, dear.
00:55:21That's encouraging, at least.
00:55:23Aunt Harriet, are you coming?
00:55:24You couldn't drag me.
00:55:25I'm going to stay here with the steak.
00:55:33Mother is coming.
00:55:34We're going to the governor's.
00:55:35It's about a 30-minute drive.
00:55:36Thank you, Miss Hammond.
00:55:37Isn't that muscle man you're going to marry coming along?
00:55:39No.
00:55:40And no wonder mother discharged you.
00:55:42She didn't.
00:55:43She wanted me to go away to a better position.
00:55:45That was very generous of her.
00:55:46I hope you accept.
00:55:53Ah!
00:55:55Ah!
00:55:56He's kidnapped her.
00:55:57Alvin?
00:55:58Alvin?
00:55:59Yes, mother.
00:56:00What is it?
00:56:01Oh, Alvin.
00:56:02Oh, my, my, my.
00:56:03What's wrong?
00:56:04What's wrong?
00:56:05What's the matter?
00:56:06Oh, my nose.
00:56:07Here, here.
00:56:08Smelling salts.
00:56:09Quick.
00:56:10I'll have the police pick them up.
00:56:11Oh, I heard her scream.
00:56:12Oh, now, take it easy, mother.
00:56:13Take it easy.
00:56:14Relax.
00:56:15Just breathe deeply.
00:56:16You take care of Miss Hammond.
00:56:17Yes, I have, right?
00:56:18Mother, if you only knew how...
00:56:19Patricia!
00:56:20If you interfere with this faint, I'll...
00:56:22Well, someday I'll think of something.
00:56:27Wiggins, where are you?
00:56:28Where are you?
00:56:29Right here.
00:56:30Oh, my poor child.
00:56:31All right now.
00:56:32All right.
00:56:33All right.
00:56:34Sit right down.
00:56:35From Korn.
00:56:36Hello?
00:56:37Hello, Sergeant?
00:56:38This is Alvin Bailey again.
00:56:39I want you to pick up another car.
00:56:41No, no, it's not a habit.
00:56:42It's an emergency.
00:56:43Just a moment.
00:56:44I'll find out.
00:56:45What's the license number of your car?
00:56:47Oh, I don't know.
00:56:48The chauffeur always takes care of that.
00:56:50Do you know what it is, Wiggins?
00:56:52Hmm?
00:56:53Number?
00:56:54Oh, five, nine.
00:56:55No, that was my point.
00:56:56I forget.
00:56:57Can't you associate it with some date?
00:56:59Tonight would be a good one.
00:57:00Boy, I'm sure lucky if it's got a 13 in it.
00:57:03Uh-uh.
00:57:04I'll have to call you back, Sergeant.
00:57:06Thank all of you.
00:57:08But I know there's a one.
00:57:09There's a one.
00:57:10And there's an alternate.
00:57:11Yes.
00:57:12Um, oh.
00:57:13Oh.
00:57:14Could it be 1066?
00:57:15Ah, 1066.
00:57:17No, that's William the Conqueror.
00:57:19Oh, of course.
00:57:20The Battle of Hastings.
00:57:22I remember that well.
00:57:24Hmm?
00:57:25What am I saying?
00:57:28Please do.
00:57:35Nice evening.
00:57:37Marion, you know you have to be practical.
00:57:40Why?
00:57:41I don't know why, but everybody's always trying to be that, and you must be, too.
00:57:45What do you advise?
00:57:46Well, you can't go on being my chauffeur.
00:57:48Everybody's discharged you.
00:57:50Excepting you.
00:57:51Well, I'll have to get around to it, too, if you don't leave.
00:57:54Why don't you accept that job Mother offered you?
00:57:57Leave town?
00:57:58For your own good.
00:57:59What's a town?
00:58:00It's what you make it.
00:58:02It's what you make it.
00:58:03The Hammonds made this one.
00:58:05Yeah, and in some ways, they did a wonderful job.
00:58:08You're nothing here.
00:58:09Out there in that air-conditioned office, you can build a place for yourself.
00:58:13Uh-uh.
00:58:14Too lonely without you.
00:58:15But I don't go with the job.
00:58:16You know that.
00:58:17Even if I'm very persuasive, try me out.
00:58:20Marion, please be reasonable.
00:58:22I'm trying to be.
00:58:24He must plan on coming back.
00:58:25He didn't take his suitcase.
00:58:27Oh.
00:58:28Oh, Alvin.
00:58:29Alvin, do you think you should?
00:58:31Well, your silverware's probably in it.
00:58:34What?
00:58:35He's in the service.
00:58:37You mean he should be.
00:58:39This is very serious, Mother.
00:58:41Oh, Alvin.
00:58:42More trouble?
00:58:43Not for us.
00:58:44This means we're rid of him.
00:58:45He's a deserter.
00:58:46Oh.
00:58:47Now, do you know, when I found him with Miss Wilhelmina, I said to myself.
00:58:51What do you mean?
00:58:52Well, I looked at the young man, and I said, now, there is a young man who has done a lot of marching.
00:58:57That boy is running away from something.
00:58:59You run down to the police station right now and tell them to get up here quickly.
00:59:02Yes.
00:59:03And they'd better come armed, too.
00:59:05These look like his papers.
00:59:06Take them with you.
00:59:07Yes, yes.
00:59:09And don't come back without at least two officers.
00:59:11I'm sure he'll try to shoot his way out.
00:59:13Shoot his way?
00:59:14Shoot his way out.
00:59:15Who?
00:59:16Yes, sir.
00:59:18Willie, would you want me to give up this town after I've dreamed of it and fought for it?
00:59:23But this isn't even your town, really.
00:59:25What will you do here?
00:59:26Follow through, get a job, and the right girl to say yes.
00:59:32She'll be about your size.
00:59:33Marion.
00:59:35Every evening after knocking myself out for two bits, I'll come home and stand at the gate and whistle.
00:59:41And she'll come running.
00:59:43You're egotistical.
00:59:44No, she knows what she wants.
00:59:47She'll throw her arms around my neck, and I'll squeeze her till she squeals.
00:59:52Ah, and when she gets her breath, she'll say, dear, it's been so long away from you.
00:59:58And I'll say, why, only this morning at six I left for the foundry.
01:00:02Is that the best you can do, the foundry?
01:00:04Well, not much money, but I'm happy there.
01:00:07And we'll swing through the gate and walk up to our little house hand in hand.
01:00:12And I'll kick my foot on a loose brick like I always do.
01:00:16And she'll say, dear, when are you going to pave this walk?
01:00:19The place looks like a dump.
01:00:21It does.
01:00:22Well, who cares, I'll say.
01:00:24I never see anything here but you.
01:00:27Willie, I'm not a millionaire, but we're in real love.
01:00:32And that's what counts.
01:00:35Marion, please don't keep on talking to me like this.
01:00:38You know I can't walk out on the wedding.
01:00:40Now, take me back to Alfie.
01:00:42There you go, ringing up that Hammond cash register inside you.
01:00:45You're punchy from listening to the bell.
01:00:47I'm punchy, but I belong here.
01:00:49And you can see you're not even welcome.
01:00:56No, Marion.
01:00:57No.
01:00:59They're two sides to me, Marion.
01:01:01Okay, I don't want to get involved with twins.
01:01:07Well, Alvin, give them time.
01:01:09Who? Wiggins or that criminal she's with?
01:01:13Hello, Sergeant. This is Alvin Bailey again.
01:01:15Has our man Wiggins showed up there yet?
01:01:17Yes, Mr. Bailey.
01:01:18We're looking at his papers now.
01:01:21Will you hold the phone, please?
01:01:24Will you stop crowding me, Wiggins?
01:01:25Can't you see I'm trying to do me duty?
01:01:27Oh, I'm sorry. I'm very sorry.
01:01:30Mr. Bailey, as I was saying,
01:01:32we saw the papers before, but we didn't realize who he was.
01:01:40Thanks, Sergeant.
01:01:42The Chief's coming out with the entire force.
01:01:44That boy's got quite a record behind him.
01:01:46He's an expert with a machine gun.
01:01:48A gunman. Oh, my poor child.
01:01:52There they are now.
01:02:00Be stoic, Mother. Not a word to Wilhelmina.
01:02:02She'll be too upset if she knows what danger she's been in.
01:02:06Did he put the car in the garage?
01:02:08Of course.
01:02:14Well, do you want to know the words?
01:02:16He did kiss me.
01:02:17Oh, Wilhelmina.
01:02:21Free your mind of him, Willie.
01:02:23I know it was a terrible experience, but we'll never talk about it.
01:02:26Now, you must get some rest. Good night.
01:02:35Yes, darling. Tomorrow's another day.
01:02:38If it's going to be like this, you're all so sweet.
01:02:41I guess it's for the best.
01:02:42Of course, dear. Good night.
01:02:51Oh, Alvin.
01:02:52Yes, dear?
01:02:54He's leaving.
01:02:55I know he is, sweet. Dream of me.
01:02:58Good night.
01:03:05Good night.
01:03:26You suppose they've come to the wedding?
01:03:28Oh, Wiggins is such a fool.
01:03:30I don't know what he told them, but they've brought the band.
01:03:33And they should have brought the Black Mariah.
01:03:35Gee, they're not bad.
01:03:38It's your cops, Chief. And they brought their band.
01:03:42But why the band? Such inefficiency.
01:03:44They must think they've come for a swarm of bees, not a gunman.
01:03:47How'd this happen?
01:03:48I don't know, but I'll make it my business to find out.
01:03:52Flowers are a little groupie, Chief, but it's the best I can do on short notice.
01:04:01What's on the racket, Mother?
01:04:02Oh, some unexpected guest, I'm afraid, dear.
01:04:05It's the police force. Boy, they're swinging it.
01:04:08Why are they here? You said Wiggins was sent for them.
01:04:10Alvin sent him last night.
01:04:12That chauffeur you hired is a deserter.
01:04:16Marion is not. Alvin had no right to do that.
01:04:19He has every right. And he was considerate enough to keep it from you.
01:04:24But he didn't send for a band.
01:04:27Mother!
01:04:28Oh, Alvin, do you hear that? What will my guests think?
01:04:32The Governor's my worry. The Chief's right. Undoubtedly, it's a mistake.
01:04:36Wiggins is to blame for this.
01:04:46Alvin, we invited so few.
01:04:50Look, some of those people I've never seen before.
01:04:53Maybe they've come to hear my platform.
01:04:55You said it, Chief.
01:04:57But I'm not electioneering today.
01:04:59No, not for that eye.
01:05:02Oh, how do you do? I'm very happy to see you.
01:05:05How do you do?
01:05:07Oh, how do you do? Very nice of you to come.
01:05:11How do you do? I'm very...
01:05:13You needn't tell me.
01:05:15How do you do? I'm very...
01:05:17You needn't tell me. Such resemblance.
01:05:20You're the bride's mother.
01:05:22I beg your pardon, I... Yes, yes, I am the bride's mother.
01:05:26She'll make such a nice bride.
01:05:28Oh, and he's such a fine fellow.
01:05:30I don't believe I know you.
01:05:32Do you know my daughter?
01:05:34Do I know her daughter? Is that a laugh?
01:05:36Well, we're old friends. Cellmates, you might say.
01:05:39I told Herman, I says to him, I says, this is one wedding we ain't gonna miss.
01:05:44Oh, we ain't?
01:05:46Did Miss Hammond send you an invitation?
01:05:48We read it in the newspaper.
01:05:50About the unexpected wedding and him.
01:05:53And I told Herman, we remember him. Huh?
01:05:58Reads like Superman.
01:06:00And the way he treated those Japs with that machine gun.
01:06:03I tell you, he deserves all them medals.
01:06:05Are you quite sure that you're not in the wrong place?
01:06:09Um, where did you meet my daughter?
01:06:12In jail.
01:06:13In jail?
01:06:15The corporal and I were cellmates.
01:06:17Cellmates?
01:06:18Oh, he's a fine fellow.
01:06:20Oh, Governor, how do you do?
01:06:23How do you do, Mrs. Hammond?
01:06:24Hello, Wilton. Glad you could make it.
01:06:27Now, don't tell me you ran into a door, Alvin.
01:06:30Interesting idea of the band.
01:06:31It isn't customary at a wedding.
01:06:33Are you carrying things a bit too far?
01:06:34Well, you see, we just...
01:06:36Oh, pardon me.
01:06:39Excuse me. Pardon me, please. Excuse me.
01:06:42Wiggins, what is the meaning of this?
01:06:44Mrs. Hammond, is it all right if I bring him through the front of the house?
01:06:47Where have you been?
01:06:48Oh, I never, I never was so mortified.
01:06:51My goodness, the way I spoke to that boy.
01:06:53And after all he's done for his hometown.
01:06:55I even turned him over to the police.
01:06:57And me, me on the reception committee.
01:07:00Wiggins, you are not making sense.
01:07:02Mrs. Hammond, you don't understand.
01:07:03My lies. You arranged the whole meeting for the corporal.
01:07:05And I was supposed to meet him.
01:07:07But he slipped through on those civilian clothes and I...
01:07:11I think I took a couple too many.
01:07:13Excuse me.
01:07:15Oh, the governor.
01:07:17Follow me.
01:07:20It's a great day for playing field, isn't it, Mrs. Hammond?
01:07:22Yes, indeed, your honor.
01:07:24Well, commissioner, I hope, your honor.
01:07:28Just who is this Marion fellow anyway?
01:07:30Corporal Marion Scott.
01:07:32The one man in his squad who got through.
01:07:34My folks have come from miles around to see this heroic soldier.
01:07:37And believe me, playing field is going to give him a real welcome home.
01:07:41Aren't we?
01:07:42Well, governor, what are you doing here?
01:07:44The wedding. I was invited to the wedding.
01:07:46There just isn't going to be any wedding.
01:07:48It's the past.
01:07:49Willie.
01:07:50Alvin, I want to talk to you. I can't go through with this.
01:07:53Yes, I know, Willie. We'll have to postpone the wedding.
01:07:55It's been a mistake.
01:07:56This Marion fellow is a national hero.
01:07:58Is Marion Corporal Marion Scott?
01:08:01He spoke on the radio the other day, remember?
01:08:03Oh, yes, I remember.
01:08:05You'd have him in jail if you could.
01:08:07What a fool you are. Me too.
01:08:09Don't stand there moaning about it.
01:08:11Come on, let's hurry. I don't want to miss anything.
01:08:34Look, Wiggins, this is all swell, but I don't want the trouble.
01:08:36Really, I tried to avoid it.
01:08:37Well, the legion was supposed to arrive when you were arriving.
01:08:40I've been watching all the trains and buses.
01:08:42I was afraid of that. That's why I hitched.
01:08:45Corporal, meet your mayor.
01:08:47I'm glad to know you're on it.
01:08:48Corporal, the town's mighty proud of her son.
01:08:50Yes.
01:08:51Corporal, as governor, may I say that the whole state is basking in your glory.
01:08:54Now, hold on. You're going to have to excuse us, governor,
01:08:56but we've got a day prepared for this boy here.
01:08:58There's thousands waiting to greet him.
01:09:00Well, then let's not keep them waiting.
01:09:02How about the wedding?
01:09:03The wedding can wait, but the boy is more important.
01:09:05How about a picture there, corporal?
01:09:06Is it okay for the governor and the mayor to be in?
01:09:08Yeah, sure.
01:09:09Hold it.
01:09:13Why didn't you tip us off you were coming? The whole town's waiting to cheer.
01:09:16Well, there's 10 million others doing the same thing I did.
01:09:18He's modest, ain't he?
01:09:19He's right.
01:09:20What's your first impression of Plainfield?
01:09:21Tell him, son.
01:09:22Gee, that guy does a lot of dreaming. Am I awake?
01:09:24Are you going to settle in the old town?
01:09:26Yeah, I'm going to live here.
01:09:27He's going to live here.
01:09:28Wait a minute, wait a minute.
01:09:29The whole town's waiting to see this boy.
01:09:31Yeah!
01:09:36If you'd asked me, I'd tell you.
01:09:38He's worth going after.
01:09:41Well, Amina, don't make a fool of yourself.
01:09:43I don't intend to.
01:09:45I'm in love with him, Alvin.
01:09:46The heavens are getting smarter every generation.
01:09:48You're not kidding.
01:09:49He told me I'm in love with him.
01:09:51And I am.
01:09:52Well, Amina.
01:09:53Dr. Alvin.
01:09:54You're terrible.
01:09:56Snap out of it, Mom. You're corny.
01:10:00You, you, you...
01:10:05Oh!
01:10:06Oh, that's wonderful.
01:10:08That's pretty.
01:10:09Oh, I must remember that.
01:10:22Marion!
01:10:23Marion!
01:10:24Marion!
01:10:25Oh, trying to hit your ride, huh?
01:10:27Marion, please.
01:10:33I've got the reins, though.
01:10:36Doesn't mine as well, Sam?
01:10:57THE END
