00:03:14you, thank you, thank you, thank you,
00:03:44Hey, where'd you get that?
00:04:12I just bought it, why?
00:04:13Well, what made you buy it?
00:04:14I don't know, I liked the title.
00:04:15You did?
00:04:16So do I.
00:04:17You see, I don't know your name, but I'm going to kiss you again.
00:04:18Did you like it?
00:04:19Well, I haven't even opened it yet.
00:04:20I only bought it two minutes ago.
00:04:21Why?
00:04:22I'm the guy that wrote it.
00:04:23I'm Freddie Williston.
00:04:24That's a new one.
00:04:25Honest I am, no kidding.
00:04:26Yes, and I'm the Queen of Belgium.
00:04:27No, I can prove it to you.
00:04:28Look, wait a minute.
00:04:29Here, look.
00:04:30See?
00:04:31I'll show you my address.
00:04:32Oh, don't worry.
00:04:33I believe you.
00:04:34So then what?
00:04:35Well, you're my public.
00:04:36You're what?
00:04:37My public.
00:04:38You're probably the only person, and certainly the first person, who's bought my book, because
00:04:39it was only published today.
00:04:40You're my first reader.
00:04:41And do you plan to give them all a reception like this?
00:04:42Well, if they're all as attractive as you are, I do.
00:04:43Hey, look at the beautiful girl!
00:04:44Come on!
00:04:45Hey, wait!
00:04:46Oh, my God!

00:08:22Oh, my God!
00:08:23Oh, my God!
00:08:25Goodbye.
00:08:30Franzen, I found her!
00:08:31Hello, you sweetheart!
00:08:32No!
00:08:33My public!
00:08:39Come in!
00:08:47Good evening, Mr. Williston.
00:08:49Good evening, Francine.
00:08:50Good evening, Swenson. If you've come to see about your rent, I'm afraid you're out of luck.
00:08:55Mr. Wilson, I hate to bother you, but you are two months behind right now.
00:09:02I'm getting a little baby coming any minute, and I figured if you could let me have...
00:09:10There, Swenson, is a signed first edition. Someday that'll be worth a lot of money to you.
00:09:16Oh, these writers...
00:09:20Now, don't worry. You'll get paid all right.
00:09:23Well, Mr. Wilson, couldn't you let me have maybe just a penny of dollars?
00:09:28You see, the baby's coming any minute, and if I don't bring something home to Mama, she'll raise...
00:09:34Yes, I know.
00:09:35You know, just a penny of dollars, Mr. Wilson.
00:09:42All right.
00:09:43Thank you, thank you, Mr. Wilson.
00:10:13Good evening, sir.
00:10:35Good evening.
00:10:36How would you like to try our special Amish dinner?
00:10:40Two and a half dollars?
00:10:44Well, I think I'll just have a small portion of chicken salad.
00:10:48You sure that's all you want?
00:10:50I have a very small appetite.
00:10:53Two chicken salads.
00:10:55Two chicken salads.
00:11:00I'm glad you read the newspapers.
00:11:02I don't know what I would have done if I hadn't seen you again.
00:11:05It's rather romantic, isn't it?
00:11:07Introduced by the armistice and reunited through the press.
00:11:11Why wouldn't you let me call for you at your house?
00:11:14Oh, I like to meet people downtown.
00:11:17Well, you will give me your address, won't you?
00:11:19I hate to think that I might lose you again.
00:11:22Fifth Avenue, 989.
00:11:24Fifth Avenue? You must be disgustingly rich.
00:11:28Don't you like rich people?
00:11:30Well, if they're rich enough to buy my book.
00:11:34Well, that reminds me of something I want you to explain.
00:11:42Where is she?
00:11:48She isn't anywhere.
00:11:50I haven't got a wife.
00:11:52I just put that in because someday I hope to have one.
00:11:57And I wanted to like it.
00:11:59She couldn't help it.
00:12:01I think it's beautiful.
00:12:03Say that again.
00:12:06You know, I like you.
00:12:08I'm afraid you're going to be my favorite novelist.
00:12:11My public.
00:12:19Manny, my hand's asleep.
00:12:24So is mine.
00:12:30Excuse me, but fun is fun and we would like to close up.
00:12:35Three dollars even.
00:12:38Oh, I hate to go.
00:12:50You know what?
00:12:52I'd like to put a bronze tablet up on the wall there saying something like,
00:12:56In this booth, Frederick Williston got to know the loveliest person in this world.
00:13:03You're just like the boy in your book.
00:13:06And he's a darling.
00:13:28Good evening.
00:13:29Good evening, sir.
00:13:30Is Miss Ballard in?
00:13:32Yes, Miss May Ballard.
00:13:34Will you tell her that Mr. Williston is calling, please?
00:13:36Very good, sir.
00:13:37Will you wait here?
00:13:44Good evening.
00:13:45I was just admiring some of your books.
00:13:48Indeed.
00:13:49Yes, I'm very much interested in books myself.
00:13:52I'm an author.
00:13:54Who are you?
00:13:56Williston's my name.
00:13:57I was calling on Miss Ballard.
00:13:59So my butler informed me.
00:14:01Well, I hope he told her.
00:14:03She's been sent for.
00:14:05You're Mrs. Ballard, I suppose?
00:14:07Your supposition is inaccurate.
00:14:09I am Mrs. Henry Abbott.
00:14:12Oh.
00:14:13Well, Miss Ballard is staying here.
00:14:16She must be visiting you.
00:14:17Miss Ballard is governess to my grandchildren.
00:14:20Nursery governess.
00:14:22I do not permit my servants to entertain male visitors.
00:14:25I've sent for Miss Ballard and shall tell her so once more.
00:14:28Oh, now, wait a minute.
00:14:29She didn't know I was coming.
00:14:30In fact, she told me not to come.
00:14:32Did you send for me, Mrs. Abbott?
00:14:34I did.
00:14:36It's all right, May.
00:14:37Don't look so distressed.
00:14:39Miss Ballard, you should make it quite clear to your friends
00:14:42that if they call for you at this house,
00:14:44they should do so at the servant's entrance.
00:14:46Say, how dare you talk to her like that?
00:14:48Why, for two pence?
00:14:49Oh, please.
00:14:50No, it's all right.
00:14:51Let me read her the riot act.
00:14:52Miss Ballard, go pack your things.
00:14:54Now, wait a minute.
00:14:55Save your breath.
00:14:56There's no use your firing her because she's quitting right now.
00:14:58Why, I wouldn't let her stay here another minute.
00:15:00May, do you trust me?
00:15:03Well, go on upstairs and get your hat and coat.
00:15:05We're leaving.
00:15:06Where are we going?
00:15:07You leave that to me.
00:15:09All right.
00:15:10Make it snappy.
00:15:14Now, if you please, will you drop a check for the amount that you owe her?
00:15:31Just who are you, anyway?
00:15:33Me?
00:15:34I'm the guy she's going to marry.
00:15:36Why, I didn't know she was engaged.
00:15:39You've got nothing on her, neither does she.
00:15:44Thanks.
00:15:55No hard feelings, I trust?
00:15:57I think you must be insane.
00:15:59In love.
00:16:11Well, where do we go from here?
00:16:13Haven't you heard?
00:16:16We're going to be married.
00:16:18Already?
00:16:19Oh, Freddy.
00:16:27Oh, Freddy.
00:16:28Oh, darling, I'm sorry, but it did slip.
00:16:31Darling, as a dishwasher, you're a perfect failure.
00:16:34Let me do it.
00:16:35You go on back to work.
00:16:36All right.
00:16:37You're the boss.
00:16:50Darling?
00:16:51Yes?
00:16:53Come here.
00:16:57Darling, just what does a guy say about brassieres?
00:17:01Well, it depends upon what he feels about brassieres.
00:17:04Gosh, how I hate writing advertising copy.
00:17:07Oh, I know, darling, but it buys the groceries and pays the rent.
00:17:11And someday you'll be rich and famous and won't have to do anything but write novels.
00:17:16Have I mentioned very lately, Mrs. Williston, that as a wife, you're just about 100% perfect?
00:17:22Tell me that in three years instead of three weeks.
00:17:25And it'll be a real testimonial.
00:17:28Oh, say, did I tell you about the scene I've mapped out for the new novel?
00:17:31I've got an idea.
00:17:32Oh, Freddy.
00:17:33You're just dying to get started on it, aren't you?
00:17:36Well, it would be more fun than writing testimonials for silent plumbing.
00:17:40There's nothing romantic about that.
00:17:43Freddy, I know what.
00:17:46I'm going to get a job.
00:17:48I'm going to teach music.
00:17:49There's money in it, really.
00:17:50Oh, let me please.
00:17:52Then you wouldn't have to work on all this stuff.
00:17:53You could just work on your book.
00:17:55Would you really like to?
00:17:57Oh, I'd love to.
00:17:58I love music, and I...
00:17:59Oh, I do so want to help.
00:18:04All right.
00:18:05I'll let you support me.
00:18:07Oh, now, darling, I know you're going to be a great novelist.
00:18:11One day we'll be frightfully rich.
00:18:13It's only just now when we're getting started that I want to help.
00:18:17I'd scrub floors for you if I had to.
00:18:21You're a grand person.
00:18:24Best little wife I ever had.
00:18:29Now, you put a new rhythm to type, right?
00:18:31I'm going out to get a job.
00:18:32Right.
00:18:42Gee, Mrs. Willison, I wish I could play like you do.
00:18:47You better if you practice hard.
00:18:49Well, it's an awfully hard game.
00:18:51Nonsense.
00:18:52I have a little pupil of mine who plays it beautifully.
00:19:08Come in.
00:19:10Hello, Freddy.
00:19:11Hi, Bill.
00:19:13How's everything, old kid?
00:19:14Oh, it's going well, thanks.
00:19:16Say, would you and Mary like to come and have dinner with me tonight?
00:19:18Well, I'll ask her when she comes back.
00:19:20She may have a late lesson.
00:19:21I don't know.
00:19:22I wish you'd inquire from her if she has a sister, a girlfriend,
00:19:26that would like to support a promising young artist.
00:19:30Get out of here, will you?
00:19:31I'm busy.
00:19:32See you later.
00:19:38Hello?
00:19:39Hello, Willison?
00:19:40This is Matthews.
00:19:41Busy?
00:19:42Sure, I'm busy.
00:19:43I'm in the middle of the ninth chapter of my new novel.
00:19:46Oh, never mind that.
00:19:47Now, listen, Willison.
00:19:48I've just rented the Clemso account, and I need copy, and I need it darn quick.
00:19:52Now, jump on the streetcar and get right over here.
00:19:54Sorry, I'm not writing copy any longer.
00:19:56I'm a serious novelist in the middle of a new book.
00:19:59Never mind your book.
00:20:00If it's no better than your first one, you'll land a poor house.
00:20:02Now, listen, Willison.
00:20:03Do me a favor.
00:20:04I need the copy, and you need the dough.
00:20:07What's that?
00:20:09Say, since when are you getting so snooty?
00:20:11Who's keeping you?
00:20:13My wife.
00:20:14Didn't you know?
00:20:24Hello, darling.
00:20:25Hello, dear.
00:20:31How's the great American novel?
00:20:33I'm just working on the proof.
00:20:35I think it's going to be a fifth.
00:20:36Good.
00:20:38I'm a lucky fellow sitting home here in luxury
00:20:41while you go and work yourself to death
00:20:42teaching a lot of stupid brats to play the piano.
00:20:44Oh, dumb Bill.
00:20:46I love it.
00:20:47Besides, they're not all stupid.
00:20:49I've got one pupil.
00:20:51A tough little boy of eight.
00:20:53He's adorable.
00:20:56By the way, which would you rather have, a boy or a girl?
00:21:00Hmm, boy, I guess.
00:21:03Then you could smack his head if he didn't pay proper attention.
00:21:08What I didn't mean is a pupil.
00:21:11I mean as a firstborn.
00:21:28What are we calling him?
00:21:31Well, he might be a herd.
00:21:35Glad.
00:21:38Am I?
00:21:43Well, Freddy.
00:21:47I'm all right.
00:21:49A guy's got a right to cry in his own home, hasn't he?
00:22:31Now, let's see.
00:22:32Four vinyl shirts.
00:22:34A pair of leggings.
00:22:36Two coffee trousers.
00:22:38Six handkerchiefs.
00:22:39Four suits of woolen underwear.
00:22:42Say, Ricky, where are your woolies?
00:22:44I couldn't find them, Dad.
00:22:46Applesauce.
00:22:47You mean you didn't want to find them.
00:22:49Oh, they each like...
00:22:50Uh-uh-uh.
00:22:51Go ask your mother where they are.
00:22:53You'd think I was going to North Pole.
00:23:01Well, what do you think?
00:23:03I think a book of these would be charming.
00:23:06Mother.
00:23:07Just a moment, darling.
00:23:08I'm talking to Mr. Blake.
00:23:09You mustn't interrupt.
00:23:10Sorry.
00:23:11I think these old folk songs are fascinating.
00:23:23Then you'll do it?
00:23:24Right away?
00:23:25Slave driver.
00:23:27What do you want, darling?
00:23:28I can't find my woolies, Mother.
00:23:30Why, they're in the cedar chest in the hall.
00:23:32You wouldn't know where they were.
00:23:34How's the packing coming?
00:23:37Dad's not so hot.
00:23:38We'll never be able to close that grip.
00:23:40Well, you run along now.
00:23:41Your train leaves in less than an hour.
00:23:42Okay.
00:23:45Isn't he grand?
00:23:47Wait till I tell you what he said yesterday.
00:23:48Yes, yes, I know.
00:23:49But will you forget that you're a devoted mother for just a moment?
00:23:52We have a lot of work to do.
00:23:54Oh, all right.
00:23:56All right.
00:24:04Hey, Ricky, what are you going to do with all this junk?
00:24:06How about this hardware here?
00:24:07Well, I'm going to use that to trap things with.
00:24:09Well, so how are we going to do it?
00:24:11Well, here they are.
00:24:12Oh, thanks.
00:24:13And I want to take this, too.
00:24:15Well, you've read that.
00:24:17Sure I've read it.
00:24:18But I want to put on a dog.
00:24:20I'll bet I'm the only boy in camp with a real live novelist for a father.
00:24:25All right, we'll get it in.
00:24:27Give me a hand now.
00:24:29That's the idea.
00:24:30Say, Dad, could I take your bag?
00:24:32It's much larger.
00:24:33No, I'm sorry, son.
00:24:34I'm using it myself.
00:24:35You know, we're going down to Westchester to settle a new house.
00:24:38Gee, I wish I could come with you.
00:24:40You'll be back in a couple of weeks.
00:24:41Now, both together.
00:24:51I think it's that trap of yours.
00:24:52You'll have to leave it home.
00:24:53No, I might catch a skunk.
00:24:55Well, if you do, don't you bring it back.
00:24:58Here, clumsy.
00:24:59Let me do it.
00:25:01It was Blake?
00:25:02No, darling.
00:25:03I want to talk to you about that.
00:25:05Would you mind telling me if I didn't go down to Westchester with you?
00:25:07I do so want to finish.
00:25:09Well, I don't mind waiting a couple of days.
00:25:11Oh, it'll be a couple of weeks, Fred, and I'll be pounding away on the piano
00:25:15and getting on your nerves.
00:25:17You go down, and I'll stay here.
00:25:19And by that time, Ricky will be back.
00:25:20And we'll both join you.
00:25:22Right-o.
00:25:23Anyway, I can be getting in some good work on my new boat.
00:25:26That's where I'll hoist up the family.
00:25:28Bring it to camp, get it?
00:25:30Westchester and Mother here.
00:25:32Oh, it takes more than a few miles to break up a family, Ricky.
00:25:35Doesn't it, Fred?
00:25:38There you see?
00:25:39Perfectly simple.
00:25:40Boy, are you smart.
00:25:42You better hand it to me, Ricky.
00:25:44I certainly picked out a good mother for you.
00:25:46You betcha.
00:25:47I like her.
00:25:52Hello, is this Simpson's Market?
00:25:54Yeah, this is Mr. Williston of Newhouse up on Fletcher Drive.
00:25:57Could you send up a case of white rock right away, please?
00:25:59Oh, don't bother, Williston.
00:26:00We can use ordinary water.
00:26:02Sure?
00:26:03Of course.
00:26:04OK.
00:26:05Never mind it.
00:26:06Thanks.
00:26:08Now, I'll telephone again.
00:26:11Take that, and tell me the worst.
00:26:17Oh, terrible.
00:26:18It means something.
00:26:21Have you got any Angostura bitters?
00:26:23Oh, I'm sorry.
00:26:24You know, we're not really settled here yet.
00:26:27Oh, well, never mind.
00:26:28We've got plenty of gin anyhow.
00:26:30You betcha.
00:26:31We put that gin in before the carpets were laid.
00:26:34Gosh, Mr. Williston, did you write all these?
00:26:37Well, not the whole case full, just those with my name on them.
00:26:42Going to put me in a novel, Mr. Williston?
00:26:45Of course.
00:26:46I'm going to use all my new names.
00:26:51Give me a cigarette and stop mooning at Fred.
00:26:54I haven't got a cigarette, and I'll moon at Fred just as long as I want to.
00:26:59Well, here we are.
00:27:01Cheerio.
00:27:02Fred, she says I mustn't moon at you.
00:27:07Tell her I may.
00:27:09On the contrary, she's quite right.
00:27:13On the contrary, she's quite right.
00:27:16No mooning.
00:27:19It's most disturbing.
00:27:25Oh, Mr. Williston, I want to see the rest of the house.
00:27:28Oh, I'm afraid we'd better not.
00:27:29The bed's not made.
00:27:30Fred's just like the devil.
00:27:31You know, I haven't got it made yet.
00:27:32How long are you going to be a bachelor?
00:27:34Oh, just till tomorrow.
00:27:35My youngster gets back from camp tonight.
00:27:37His mother will bring him down in the morning.
00:27:39Oh, girl, I have an idea.
00:27:41Let's help this poor man with his housework.
00:27:43We'll pretend he hasn't got a wife.
00:27:45That's what you've been pretending all along, isn't it, dear?
00:27:48Meow.
00:27:50It's true, isn't it?
00:27:51Uh-uh.
00:27:52I take back the meow.
00:27:54Dog.
00:27:55Female.
00:27:58Oh, come on, girls.
00:27:59Let's go up there anyway.
00:28:00Oh, no, you don't.
00:28:01Oh, yes.
00:28:03Oh, Mr. Williston, George, you're working with me.
00:28:05Sure, we want to see where those bestsellers are written.
00:28:07I'll tell you what I will do, though.
00:28:09As soon as May gets down here and we get organized,
00:28:11we'll throw a big party and you can explore every nook and cranny.
00:28:15Personally, I think it's time we all went home
00:28:17and left this poor man alone.
00:28:19An excellent suggestion, Sadiq, hospitably.
00:28:21All right, Barney, come on.
00:28:22We've been thrown out of better houses than this.
00:28:24Where's my racket?
00:28:25You mean, what's your racket?
00:28:27Aren't you going to finish your drink?
00:28:28I should say not.
00:28:29It nearly finished me.
00:28:30Are you coming to the club tonight?
00:28:31Well, I'm afraid I can't tonight.
00:28:32I've got some work to do.
00:28:33Well, say, are you a member?
00:28:34Not yet.
00:28:35Well, I must get your guest card.
00:28:36Oh, say, that would be swell.
00:28:38You know, for two weeks they're marvelously settled.
00:28:41I should say they are.
00:28:43We've been in our place five years and it's still a dump.
00:28:46Open like a hazard.
00:28:47I think we like your place.
00:28:49Well, I'm glad you came.
00:28:50Nice having you.
00:28:58Well, thanks the Lord they've gone as long.
00:29:02Now, Valerie, do you think it was discreet of you to stay?
00:29:06Oh, Freddy, I'm so tired of being discreet.
00:29:11Please don't scold.
00:29:14Freddy, does your wife understand you?
00:29:19Perfectly.
00:29:21What a pity.
00:29:23I wish you were objectionable like my husband.
00:29:27Oh, Freddy, don't be scared.
00:29:31There can't possibly be any harm in holding hands.
00:29:35Famous last words.
00:29:44Oh, here's your groom now.
00:29:46Well, don't look so relieved.
00:29:47I haven't gone yet.
00:29:49Oh, beg pardon, sir.
00:29:51I brought Mrs. Parker's car around.
00:29:53Is she here?
00:29:54Fine.
00:29:55She's just ready.
00:29:56Oh, no, I'm not.
00:29:57Thank you, Al.
00:29:58Just leave the car.
00:29:59You can ride the horse home.
00:30:01Now, Valerie.
00:30:02Now, it's all settled, Freddy.
00:30:03That's all, Al.
00:30:05Oh, by the way, Mrs. Parker.
00:30:06Oh, yes.
00:30:07Oh, yes.
00:30:08Oh, yes.
00:30:09Oh, yes.
00:30:10Oh, yes.
00:30:11Oh, yes.
00:30:12Oh, yes.
00:30:13Oh, yes.
00:30:14Oh, yes.
00:30:15Oh, yes.
00:30:16Oh, yes.
00:30:17Oh, by the way, ma'am, I forgot to tell you.
00:30:19Mr. Parker phoned down from town to say he'd be delayed very late at the office.
00:30:23I see.
00:30:26Sir, are you fixed up with help yet?
00:30:29No, as a matter of fact, we're not.
00:30:30Well, I know a young woman who lives over in Brooklyn by the name of Bertha.
00:30:35A very bright young girl, sir.
00:30:37She's looking for a job.
00:30:39I thought perhaps we'd...
00:30:40Well, fine.
00:30:41You send her down to Morrissey Mrs. Williston.
00:30:42She'll be here then.
00:30:43Very good, sir.
00:30:44Oh, Marjorie.
00:30:45When I say bright, I don't mean to say she's altogether too bright.
00:30:48But then at the same time, she's not quite so dumb as those other girls in Brooklyn.
00:30:52She's more, if you understand...
00:30:54Well, you ask her to come down to mine, will you?
00:30:56Oh, yes.
00:30:59Don't you find him a bit talkative?
00:31:01Oh, no.
00:31:02All servants are.
00:31:03Glad you haven't got one.
00:31:09Just, um, what are you waiting for?
00:31:13Can't you guess?
00:31:16I hadn't the remotest idea.
00:31:20Liar.
00:31:24I'm awfully hungry.
00:31:26It's all right.
00:31:27But there isn't a thing to eat in the house.
00:31:29Tell you what I'll do.
00:31:31I'll take you to a roadhouse and blow you to dinner.
00:31:33That's what I was waiting for.
00:31:35Run along home and change your clothes.
00:31:36Mm-mm.
00:31:37Don't need to.
00:31:38Can dress right here.
00:31:39Mm-hmm.
00:31:40I've got a bag all packed in the car.
00:31:41That's why I had him bring it.
00:31:43Uh-huh.
00:31:44Mm-hmm.
00:31:45I had it all planned, see?
00:31:47Why, darling, I have Northwest Mounted Police blood in me.
00:31:51I always get my man.
00:31:53Go and get my bag.
00:31:54Nothing doing.
00:31:56You run on home and change.
00:31:57Nope.
00:31:58I'm going to stay and dress here.
00:32:00But I'm going to be good.
00:32:01Aw, Freddy.
00:32:03You don't mind, do you?
00:32:05Wish.
00:32:07You're staying?
00:32:10Oh, you're being good.
00:32:13Why, the man's actually human.
00:32:15He can philander when he likes.
00:32:17Now seriously, Valerie.
00:32:19We've got to cut this out.
00:32:21I know.
00:32:23You've got a nice wife.
00:32:25You're happily married and I'd better run along and mind my own business.
00:32:29I'm going to, see?
00:32:31Oh, I know you don't give a hang for me anyway.
00:32:34I'm terribly sorry you're unhappy.
00:32:36Oh.
00:32:37Run along and get my bag.
00:32:39And from now on, we'll be perfectly platonic.
00:32:46I know.
00:33:08You'll find the bathroom in there.
00:33:10Okay, thanks.
00:33:11Oh, Freddy.
00:33:12Freddy, don't go.
00:33:13I want you to help me get my boots off.
00:33:15Oh.
00:33:19Would your wife approve of this picture?
00:33:21Why not?
00:33:22Suppose she heard about it.
00:33:24What would you tell her?
00:33:26The truth, I suppose.
00:33:27I never had lied to her.
00:33:29You are?
00:33:30No.
00:33:31May and I have been through a great deal together.
00:33:33We were married when we were kids.
00:33:35We had a kid of our own before we were able to afford it.
00:33:38We planned our way through some pretty tough times together.
00:33:41If that breeds confidence.
00:33:43Never any love affair in all that time?
00:34:06Now wait, Ricky.
00:34:08I'll sneak in first and see what he's doing.
00:34:10This is my surprise, and I want to stage it properly.
00:34:13Okay, but hurry.
00:34:35Oh.
00:34:37Oh.
00:35:01What about her?
00:35:02Her?
00:35:06Oh.
00:35:37All set, Mother?
00:35:38What's he doing?
00:35:39Why, he's not at home.
00:35:40There's no one there.
00:35:42But, Mother, there's lights.
00:35:44I know, Ricky, dear.
00:35:45He's probably gone down to the village or something.
00:35:47We'll drive down there.
00:35:48I ought to get some groceries in the house.
00:35:51You don't mind driving us down, do you, Roger?
00:35:53Oh, not at all.
00:35:54Come on, Ricky.
00:36:06Say, how about letting me do the shopping?
00:36:08I could go for a juicy steak and a big whey.
00:36:10All right, Ricky.
00:36:12Go ahead.
00:36:21What's wrong, May?
00:36:23Oh, nothing.
00:36:24Sure?
00:36:26I was just disappointed because Fred wasn't there.
00:36:30Wonder where he could have gone.
00:36:32Well, perhaps he's gone...
00:36:33Maybe just went for a stroll.
00:36:36I think I'll go and telephone him.
00:36:38He might be back now.
00:36:40That's a good idea.
00:36:45Oh, Freddy!
00:36:46Freddy!
00:37:04Say, can't you hold me a little tighter?
00:37:07You think it'd be a good idea?
00:37:17Oh, Freddy.
00:37:19I know I promised to behave, but I can't help it.
00:37:23Oh, I do love you so.
00:37:34It would.
00:37:39Hello.
00:37:40Hello, Freddy.
00:37:41Oh, hello, May.
00:37:42I...
00:37:43We're at the market, Ricky and I.
00:37:46Roger drove us down.
00:37:48Well, darling, you're perfectly splendid.
00:37:50We'll be along in a few moments.
00:37:52Just want to buy some groceries first.
00:37:55All right.
00:37:56Bye-bye.
00:38:02Well, that's that.
00:38:06There's my wife.
00:38:07Well, in that case, I guess I'd better go.
00:38:10Well, I'd like to ask you to stay, but...
00:38:12I know.
00:38:13I might be a little difficult to explain.
00:38:15Besides, you're the man who never lies to his wife.
00:38:18Do get my things, Freddy.
00:38:23And by the way, Freddy, remember that a clever lie is better than a clumsy explanation.
00:38:41Sure you've got everything?
00:38:43Yep.
00:38:44It's all right, Freddy.
00:38:46I haven't left the tree.
00:38:49Good night, Freddy.
00:39:11Ricky, let's not tell Father we were here before.
00:39:14He might think we were silly.
00:39:16All right, May.
00:39:26Hello, Danny.
00:39:27Well, Ricky, you've grown a foot.
00:39:29What have you got in there?
00:39:30Groceries.
00:39:31Plenty of them.
00:39:32Let's see what you've got in there.
00:39:34Hello, Danny.
00:39:35Hello there.
00:39:36Well, Ricky, you've grown a foot.
00:39:37What have you got in there?
00:39:38Groceries.
00:39:39Plenty of them.
00:39:40Oh, dear.
00:39:41All right, dear.
00:39:42Thanks a lot.
00:39:43That's fine.
00:39:48Boy, this is slick.
00:39:50Where's my room?
00:39:51It's at the foot of the stairs, dear.
00:39:53You have a whole suite to yourself.
00:39:54Gosh, that's swell.
00:39:55I'm going to explore.
00:40:00All dressed up.
00:40:01Going out?
00:40:02Well, yes, I was thinking of it.
00:40:04No fun dining at home alone.
00:40:06No, of course not.
00:40:08I hope you're not annoyed at our arriving a day early.
00:40:11Oh, darling, I'm delighted.
00:40:14How's the book coming?
00:40:16Well, not so well.
00:40:18I can't seem to get started.
00:40:20How'd you like it, Ricky?
00:40:21Boy, I'm nuts about it.
00:40:23What's up there, Dad?
00:40:25I'll show you over the whole place.
00:40:27Entertain Roger, will you, darling?
00:40:33My dear, I don't know what you saw when you first came in,
00:40:37but please take my advice.
00:40:39Face him.
00:40:41You want facts, not suspicions.
00:40:45Ricky mustn't know.
00:40:48I didn't want you to know either.
00:40:50Your loyalty is my loyalty.
00:40:52I'm not going to let you down.
00:40:54I'm not going to let you down.
00:40:56I'm not going to let you down.
00:40:58I'm not going to let you down.
00:41:00I didn't want you to know either.
00:41:02Your loyalty is wonderful.
00:41:04Fred gave you this house for your anniversary, didn't he?
00:41:07Well, then you surely can't believe that he'd forget that.
00:41:12Oh, I don't know what to believe.
00:41:14Take my advice.
00:41:16Have it out with him.
00:41:18Well, I'll be leaving.
00:41:21Goodbye, May.
00:41:22Thanks, Roger.
00:41:23Bye-bye.
00:41:24Goodbye.
00:41:30Goodbye.
00:41:36Hello.
00:41:37Where's Roger?
00:41:38He's gone.
00:41:40He wants me to go down to Baltimore for him.
00:41:42Do a book of mountain folk songs.
00:41:45I'll be away about a month.
00:41:48Oh, May, have a heart.
00:41:53The tie that binds.
00:41:56Does it, Fred?
00:41:58Do you bind?
00:42:00That's only fiction.
00:42:03Then it isn't fact?
00:42:05You're not beginning to get tired of me?
00:42:09You know that I'm not.
00:42:14What makes you so nervous, Fred?
00:42:16You make me nervous.
00:42:21May, what is the matter?
00:42:24Oh, I've just been wondering.
00:42:26Wondering what?
00:42:28I've been imagining that perhaps your family wasn't quite welcome tonight.
00:42:35Maybe you had another engagement.
00:42:37As a matter of fact, I did, but I canceled it.
00:42:41Oh.
00:42:42The minute you called up from the market.
00:42:44Quick work.
00:42:46I just called him up and told him that my own true love had arrived home unexpectedly.
00:42:51And that he was out of luck.
00:42:53Say no more about it, said he, and hung up.
00:42:58I see.
00:43:03Fred, I've decided to go to Baltimore tonight.
00:43:08I'll take Ricky with me.
00:43:09May, I thought we were going to talk this thing over.
00:43:11We have been talking it over.
00:43:13I've given you every chance.
00:43:15I don't understand.
00:43:17I think you do.
00:43:19May, darling, I...
00:43:22Oh, don't.
00:43:27Mother, what do we eat? I'm starved.
00:43:29Ricky.
00:43:34What's the matter, Mother?
00:43:36Ricky, we're going away tonight.
00:43:44May.
00:43:48What's the matter, Dad?
00:43:52What happened?
00:44:00Mother.
00:44:17Well.
00:44:19I gave you a handsome trimming, my lad.
00:44:21You're way off your game.
00:44:22I'll say I am.
00:44:24I can't play, I can't work, I can't eat, and I can't sleep.
00:44:28But I still can drink.
00:44:30Oh, send a steward to me, will you please?
00:44:32Heard from May yet?
00:44:34Not a word.
00:44:35She's been gone ten days.
00:44:36I'm sorry.
00:44:40Women are a mystery to me.
00:44:42Can't understand them.
00:44:43You'd think at least she'd give me some sort of an explanation.
00:44:47Surely I deserve that.
00:44:49And didn't she?
00:44:50Not a word.
00:44:51She just walked out on me.
00:44:53I've known you for many years, Fred.
00:44:55Do you mind if I ask a most indiscreet question?
00:44:58No, go ahead.
00:45:00Well, I've heard quite a little gossip around the club.
00:45:03About you and Valerie Parker.
00:45:05I'll bet you have.
00:45:08Is your conscience quite clear in that direction?
00:45:11Absolutely.
00:45:13Then I'm sure everything will be all right.
00:45:16I hope so.
00:45:17I hope so.
00:45:18Want to send me a message?
00:45:19I'm going to Baltimore tomorrow.
00:45:21I'll be seeing her.
00:45:25Don't you think it's her place to send a message to me?
00:45:33Good morning, Mr. Blake.
00:45:34Good morning.
00:45:36Hello, Fredder.
00:45:37Hello.
00:45:38Oh, for goodness sake, don't be so polite.
00:45:41Sit down.
00:45:42Where are you going to sit?
00:45:43Right there, with Freddy.
00:45:45And you're going to chaperone us.
00:45:47I'm sorry, but I've got to run in and change.
00:45:49Oh, don't run away, Freddy.
00:45:51Be sociable.
00:45:52No, I'm afraid I've really got to go.
00:45:54So long, Roger.
00:45:55So long, Fred.
00:45:56Bye-bye.
00:46:01Fine fellow, Williston.
00:46:02They broke the mold when they made him.
00:46:05Oh, he's a grand person.
00:46:08Ever meet his wife?
00:46:11Uh-uh.
00:46:12But I nearly did.
00:46:14You'd have enjoyed it.
00:46:17Would I?
00:46:19I was in the bathtub covered with soap and confusion.
00:46:22I blush when I think of it.
00:46:24Sounds most intriguing.
00:46:26Oh, it was awful.
00:46:28You see, a gang of us had gone up to Freddy's.
00:46:30I stayed and dressed for dinner.
00:46:32Of course, poor old Freddy didn't want me to.
00:46:33He's terribly virtuous.
00:46:35But I made him let me.
00:46:36Suddenly, his wife phoned from the village.
00:46:38So, of course, I evaporated.
00:46:40I see.
00:46:42Suppose she'd come in a few minutes earlier.
00:46:44Wouldn't that be in a pretty picture?
00:46:47How fortunate she didn't.
00:46:49Oh, it's doing awful scaring to poor old Freddy.
00:46:53He won't even look at me anymore.
00:46:56Thinks I'm poison.
00:47:13Oh, hello.
00:47:15Oh, hello, Bertha.
00:47:17What do you want?
00:47:19Diddle, diddle, diddle, diddle.
00:47:21How would you like a good stock in the snoot?
00:47:24Oh, I say, come, that's not the way to talk to me.
00:47:27Didn't I get you a nice job here?
00:47:29No, sir, you didn't.
00:47:30Oh?
00:47:32You know what I think?
00:47:33Yeah?
00:47:34I think he's crazy.
00:47:36Come on, crazy?
00:47:37Yeah.
00:47:38He just sits in that library.
00:47:40Pounded on that dingus.
00:47:41He don't keep no regular hours.
00:47:43I've been here two weeks now, and he ain't hardly spoken to me.
00:47:46Never says boo.
00:47:48Oh, what?
00:47:49What do you say boo for?
00:47:50Oh, shut up.
00:47:52I think I'll quit.
00:47:53I'll get me another job in Brooklyn where there's a little going on.
00:47:57Well, if it's goings on you want, Bertha,
00:48:00you can give me a buzz at any time.
00:48:02Hey, you keep that for your horses.
00:48:04They like it, maybe.
00:48:06All right, all right.
00:48:08Uh, they keep you busy here?
00:48:10No.
00:48:11There ain't enough work to do.
00:48:13He says he's got a wife and kid, but I ain't seen hiding a hair of them.
00:48:16Oh.
00:48:17Oh, by the way, it reminds me,
00:48:19I've got a letter here from Mrs. Parker for him.
00:48:22Yeah?
00:48:24Any answer?
00:48:25How should I know?
00:48:26Oh, all right, you wait.
00:48:28Here, come on, Bertha, just one.
00:48:29Come on.
00:48:32I should say not.
00:48:36I should say not.
00:48:47What is it, what is it?
00:48:48Here's a note from Mrs. Parker.
00:49:06Is there any answer, sir?
00:49:08The groom's waiting.
00:49:10No, no answer.
00:49:11Yes, sir.
00:49:12And about your dinner, sir,
00:49:14it's been ready a good half hour.
00:49:16I don't want any dinner.
00:49:17Yes, sir.
00:49:19And about the weekend, sir,
00:49:21I was thinking maybe I'd buy a turkey
00:49:23if Mrs. Williston, the little boy, is going to be here
00:49:25because, you see, turkey is real good right now
00:49:28and I make a stuffing that's mighty nice.
00:49:30What are you talking about?
00:49:32Well, I was planning on a turkey
00:49:33if Mrs. Williston, the little boy, is going to be back.
00:49:35You see...
00:49:36Well, I don't know when they're coming.
00:49:37Do anything you want.
00:49:38Yes, sir.
00:49:40And would you mind, sir,
00:49:41if I go out for a walk with my fiancée?
00:49:44Your what?
00:49:45My fiancée.
00:49:46You see, this here Al,
00:49:47what brought the message.
00:49:49He, him and me, we just sort of walk out together
00:49:51and then he...
00:49:52Yeah, well, walk out and jump in the lake,
00:49:53will you?
00:49:54Leave me alone.
00:49:55Oh, yes, sir.
00:49:56I'm going to buy that turkey.
00:49:58I already got the cranberries.
00:50:06Aren't you going to eat your dessert, dear?
00:50:09No, I'm not hungry, Mother.
00:50:12Why don't we eat downstairs tonight?
00:50:14Well, I thought we'd like it better up here in our room.
00:50:16It's not so hotel-y.
00:50:18Don't you, dear?
00:50:19I guess so.
00:50:22Mother, when are we going to go home?
00:50:25Pretty soon, Ricky.
00:50:26I'm not through with my job yet.
00:50:30Mother, we are going home to Dad, aren't we?
00:50:34Why, yes, Ricky, of course.
00:50:38Want to go to the movies tonight?
00:50:40With you?
00:50:41No, Mr. Blake's coming up to see me.
00:50:43We'll be busy.
00:50:44But there's a good show at the Orpheum.
00:50:45Don't you want to go?
00:50:48I think I'll finish my letter to Dad.
00:50:50All right, dear, do that.
00:50:55I hope it's Dad.
00:51:00Hello?
00:51:02Yes?
00:51:03Just a minute.
00:51:04Mother, it's Mr. Blake.
00:51:05He's in the lobby.
00:51:06Well, tell him to send him right up.
00:51:08All right.
00:51:09Tell him to come up.
00:51:10All right.
00:51:11Mother, when shall I tell Dad we'll be home?
00:51:25I don't know yet, dear.
00:51:29Come in.
00:51:32Hello, Roger.
00:51:33Hello, Mary.
00:51:34Hello, Ricky.
00:51:35Hello, Mr. Blake.
00:51:36Well, I hope I'm not too early.
00:51:37Oh, no, we've just finished.
00:51:38Have the waiter take these away, will you?
00:51:41Well, young fellow, how do you like Baltimore?
00:51:43Oh, it's not so hot.
00:51:44I think I like it better in Westchester.
00:51:46Come on, I'll show you what I've done.
00:51:53I thought we'd use these three for the first cycle.
00:51:55Just a minute, dear.
00:51:57Oh, Ricky, dear.
00:52:03Yes, Mother?
00:52:04Run down to the lobby and get Mr. Blake a couple of cigars.
00:52:06OK.
00:52:07What kind do you want, Mr. Blake?
00:52:08Well, now, I'll leave that to you.
00:52:10Something mild.
00:52:12Two for a quarter.
00:52:13OK.
00:52:14Ricky, don't always say OK.
00:52:16OK.
00:52:17I forgot.
00:52:18I mean kale.
00:52:22I've got some good news for you.
00:52:23Yes?
00:52:25You're going to like me.
00:52:26Oh, tell me.
00:52:51Hello?
00:52:54Oh, it's you, Valerie.
00:52:56Well, I think the least you could have done was answer my note.
00:53:01Oh, but that's a third, darling.
00:53:05Oh, Freddy, don't be ridiculous, really.
00:53:10Well, I think that's a look out, don't you?
00:53:13Well, maybe you're right, but we're not going to see each other.
00:53:17No, no, I don't want you to do that.
00:53:19Oh, you poor darling, you are grouchy, aren't you?
00:53:21I'm going to make it my business to come over there and cheer you up.
00:53:25Oh, wait a minute, darling.
00:53:26Oh, Freddy, dear.
00:53:30Running after Williston again?
00:53:32I didn't hear you knock.
00:53:34I didn't.
00:53:36Here, lay off of Williston.
00:53:37I won't have my wife here.
00:53:38You're hurting me.
00:53:41Thought you'd gone to town an hour ago.
00:53:44Sure you did.
00:53:46That's why you're-
00:53:47You had a call from your fancy woman.
00:53:49I recognized her voice.
00:53:53You mustn't keep her waiting.
00:53:55You haven't anything on me.
00:53:56No, because I haven't the money to hire a detective.
00:53:59Well, I have the money.
00:54:02So watch your step.
00:54:07And Valerie Parker told me the whole story.
00:54:10And I know she wasn't lying.
00:54:13You were right, Roger.
00:54:15Suspicion is a horrible, deadly thing.
00:54:18I should have told Fred, and then he could have explained.
00:54:21I only hope he'll be big enough to understand and forgive me.
00:54:25That's just what he's waiting to do.
00:54:28I don't know how to thank you, Roger.
00:54:30You're the best friend Fred and I ever had.
00:54:41Hello, Freddy.
00:54:51Valerie, you shouldn't have come here.
00:54:53Oh, Freddy, you're unreasonable.
00:54:55You won't answer my notes.
00:54:56You hang up on me when I phone.
00:54:58How else am I to see you?
00:55:00Well, aren't you going to ask me to come in?
00:55:05Because it's her house.
00:55:08She left it, didn't she?
00:55:10She walked out on you without saying a word, didn't she?
00:55:12And you haven't done anything wrong.
00:55:16She hasn't answered your letters or anything, has she?
00:55:20No, she hasn't.
00:55:23Freddy, please ask me to come in.
00:55:26I won't take a bath, I promise.
00:55:28That last bath you took got me in plenty of hot water.
00:55:31Oh, I'm sorry.
00:55:33Well, just for two minutes.
00:55:39And don't make yourself too comfortable.
00:55:41I'm going to give you one drink and then I'm going to throw you out of here.
00:55:44All right, darling, make it a strong one.
00:55:46Freddy, I'll bet you've been moping here all day.
00:55:49Oh, you are a fool.
00:55:52I'll tell you what, Freddy.
00:55:54Turn on the radio and dance with me.
00:55:57Why not?
00:56:01Dancing is bad for my blood pressure.
00:56:05Well, let's go uptown and dance.
00:56:07We haven't done anything we need be ashamed of.
00:56:10Oh, Freddy.
00:56:12Come on.
00:56:14Let's be gay.
00:56:16Just for one night.
00:56:19All right.
00:56:21Why not?
00:56:25Ricky.
00:56:26Yes?
00:56:27We're going home tomorrow.
00:56:28Honest?
00:56:30Did you call Dad?
00:56:31No, do you want to telephone him?
00:56:33Okay.
00:56:35Operator.
00:56:36Long distance, please.
00:56:39Westchester, 1312.
00:56:42Freddy.
00:56:44Have you noticed how gorgeous the moon is tonight?
00:56:47No.
00:56:48Oh, what a pity.
00:56:50You see, that's what 13 years of marriage does to a man.
00:57:06Mary.
00:57:15Yes, dear.
00:57:17Back home where I belong.
00:57:19Oh, Fred.
00:57:21I don't know what to say except that everything's all right again.
00:57:25Oh, Mary.
00:57:26Why didn't you write to me?
00:57:28Why didn't you telephone?
00:57:30Oh, why did you wait so long?
00:57:33I wanted to be sure, Fred.
00:57:35Now I am sure.
00:57:44Hello, Dad.
00:57:45I guess you're surprised to see us.
00:57:47We drove like anything to get down here in time for breakfast.
00:57:50And Mr. Blake let me drive for a while.
00:57:52Wasn't that keen?
00:57:53He tried to do 60.
00:57:54He was in such a hurry.
00:57:55Fortunately, the Lord was watching us.
00:57:57We were spared.
00:57:58Meet Beatrice Fairfax.
00:58:00He's the one who told me all about your Lady of the Bath.
00:58:03He was scolding me all the way down, and I deserved it.
00:58:06Suppose we leave them alone for a minute.
00:58:08Finish breakfast.
00:58:09Okay.
00:58:10I get it.
00:58:12We tried to phone you several times last night, dear, but you were out.
00:58:15Yes, I...
00:58:16I had to go up to town to see Marshall about the moving picture rights of the Tyler Bynes.
00:58:21It...
00:58:22It got so late that I...
00:58:23I stayed overnight.
00:58:26You go into breakfast here.
00:58:27I'll answer it.
00:58:28All right.
00:58:33Valerie.
00:58:34Fred.
00:58:35Fred, we're in a jam.
00:58:36Oh, a most horrible jam.
00:58:38We were followed last night.
00:58:39I must see you.
00:58:40But I can't.
00:58:41Me and Ricky are home.
00:58:44Say, Mother, when Dad sells a couple more of his books,
00:58:47I'm going to ask him to get me a racing car.
00:58:50Bert's just behind me.
00:58:51We have the most dreadful scene, Fred.
00:58:57You wait here for me, dear.
00:58:58Okay, Parker.
00:59:01Ricky, will you take Mr. Blake into the library a moment, dear?
00:59:04Sure.
00:59:07Well, you thought you'd beat me over, eh?
00:59:09Oh, Bert, please don't make a scene.
00:59:11His wife got back today.
00:59:12Oh, that suits me fine.
00:59:13Now, look here, Parker.
00:59:14Is it Fred?
00:59:16May, I'm terribly sorry, but I'm afraid...
00:59:23Won't you come in?
00:59:28Mrs. Williston, this is an unpleasant task,
00:59:30but it's my duty and must be done.
00:59:32Well, supposing you come in, Mr. Parker.
00:59:34Please, Mrs. Williston, don't believe a word of it.
00:59:36It isn't true.
00:59:37I'm prepared to prove anything I say.
00:59:40Your husband and my wife were...
00:59:41Mr. Parker, my son is in there.
00:59:44Would you kindly lower your voice?
00:59:46Well, perhaps it's time that the boy learned
00:59:48what sort of a heel his father is.
00:59:52Well, whatever it is that you're going to try to tell me,
00:59:55couldn't we discuss it quietly like gentle people?
01:00:00What is it you want of me?
01:00:02I'm going to get a divorce and name him correspondent.
01:00:06Perhaps we can work together on this.
01:00:08Oh, if you must be vulgar, talk to me about it.
01:00:10I'm used to it.
01:00:11Keep out of this or you'll get a...
01:00:12Or slap him a mouth.
01:00:14But I must say, in all fairness to Bertie,
01:00:16he never strikes me unless he's real cross.
01:00:19I'm prepared to prove that your husband and my wife
01:00:21were together last night.
01:00:23You must be mistaken.
01:00:24Suppose I tell you that they were followed
01:00:26to the Hotel Reynolds, where they registered.
01:00:28I don't believe it.
01:00:29I don't believe it.
01:00:31All right, then.
01:00:33Perhaps you'll believe the detective who followed them.
01:00:36Oh, Bert, please don't.
01:00:38Come here, Daly.
01:00:40Bert, please, leave him out of it.
01:00:42Do anything you want to me.
01:00:43It wasn't his fault.
01:00:45He'll get all that's coming to him.
01:00:48I don't know what to say, May.
01:00:51But it's true.
01:00:53Oh, Fred.
01:00:55I just couldn't bring myself to tell you.
01:00:59Well, was it true the other time when she was here?
01:01:02No.
01:01:03No, she's never meant anything to me, either then or now.
01:01:07But she'd left me and hadn't given me a chance to explain
01:01:09and I felt abused.
01:01:11Then she came here and we had a couple of drinks.
01:01:16We got to feeling sorry for ourselves and for each other.
01:01:20Then we drove up here.
01:01:21Oh, that's enough.
01:01:24There'll be a nasty, dirty scandal, won't there?
01:01:29I'm afraid so.
01:01:31Poor Ricky.
01:01:35What's happening in there, Mr. Blake?
01:01:38Don't worry, Ricky.
01:01:39Everything will be all right.
01:01:45Mrs. Williston, this is Daly, a detective.
01:01:47He has proof of what I said.
01:01:49Go ahead, Daly.
01:01:52I followed this gentleman here and that lady
01:01:55along the post road to New York City from here.
01:01:58They arrived at Tony's on West 46th Street
01:02:01at 11.15 p.m. last night.
01:02:05They had numerous drinks.
01:02:08They left at 2.45 a.m. in their car
01:02:11and drove to Hotel Reynolds.
01:02:13Are you quite sure it was my husband?
01:02:15Yes, ma'am.
01:02:16He was wearing the same clothes he has on now
01:02:18with a light gray hat.
01:02:21Mr. Daly, you're paid to get testimony, aren't you?
01:02:25Sure, I get paid for my work as well as anyone else.
01:02:28Then if Mr. Parker insisted upon evidence,
01:02:31you'd of course be quite willing to...
01:02:33I wouldn't be willing to perjure myself, ma'am.
01:02:36Well, you're either committing perjury
01:02:38or else your eyesight is very poor
01:02:40because my husband was with me last night.
01:02:43Your husband was with you? With you?
01:02:45What's this?
01:02:47I understood that you were out of town last night.
01:02:50I came home.
01:02:52You came home here?
01:02:54No, we stayed in the city.
01:02:56Oh, yeah?
01:02:58What hotel?
01:03:00We stayed at a friend's apartment.
01:03:02I suppose you can give me the name of this friend?
01:03:05Yes.
01:03:06He's here now. I'll call him.
01:03:13Roger, will you come in here a moment, please?
01:03:15Yes.
01:03:21I hate to drag you into a vulgar thing like this, Roger,
01:03:24but you can save us from a rather nasty scandal
01:03:26if you can convince Mr. Parker's detective
01:03:29that we were with you last night.
01:03:31Why don't you write him a letter about it?
01:03:33What does your detective claim he has detected, Mr. Parker?
01:03:35He followed my wife and her husband
01:03:37to the Hotel Reynolds last night.
01:03:39You must be mistaken.
01:03:41Mr. and Mrs. Williston were my guests last night.
01:03:43When that comes to court, will you swear to it?
01:03:46Of course.
01:03:47They lie, Mr. Parker.
01:03:49I've done my job and I know what I saw.
01:03:51Wait a minute, Daly.
01:03:52No, they've dumped the apple cart on us.
01:03:54I'll wait outside.
01:03:56You're lying, both of you.
01:03:58I don't know what the big idea is,
01:04:00lying to this chiseling husband of yours
01:04:01when you know he's as guilty as I do.
01:04:03But you're lying, both of you.
01:04:05That's your story.
01:04:06I suppose you'll stick to it.
01:04:11It didn't quite gel, did it, Bertie?
01:04:13I'll get rid of you yet.
01:04:19I think you're very wonderful, Mrs. Williston.
01:04:22Do you?
01:04:24We don't deserve all this.
01:04:25You deserve and have my contempt.
01:04:27Both of you.
01:04:29I was only thinking of Ricky.
01:04:38I'm dreadfully sorry, Freddie,
01:04:41for everything.
01:04:43I only wanted to...
01:04:45Don't you think you'd better go?
01:05:00May.
01:05:04What are you going to tell Ricky?
01:05:06Nothing.
01:05:08I won't have him hurt.
01:05:10I want him to believe in you.
01:05:15Get him in here now before I start to cry, will you?
01:05:30Today, he wants some boiled.
01:05:32When I boil him, he wants some fried.
01:05:35When I fry him, he won't eat him.
01:05:38He'll think he's crazy.
01:05:40And I'm going to be crazy, too.
01:05:42Morning, Bertha.
01:05:43Good morning.
01:05:44What time is your ma and pa coming down?
01:05:46I guess they'll be right down.
01:05:48Say, are you and your ma going to stay here?
01:05:52Why, sure we're going to stay.
01:05:54This is our home.
01:05:56Why, sure we're going to stay.
01:05:58This is our home.
01:06:00We were only away for a trip.
01:06:02Oh, I see. I just thought...
01:06:03Maybe I just wanted to know.
01:06:05Morning, Mother.
01:06:06Morning, Ricky.
01:06:09Sleep well last night, Mother?
01:06:10Mm-hmm.
01:06:14I've been looking around.
01:06:15This place sure is slick.
01:06:18And it doesn't seem like new either.
01:06:20Seems like we've lived here for years.
01:06:26You know what I'm going to do when I'm grown up?
01:06:29I'm going to have a place something like this.
01:06:32I'm going to have a wife, two or three or maybe four kids.
01:06:36And we'll visit each other.
01:06:38One week, you and Dad will come to our place.
01:06:41The next, my wife, my family, and I will come here.
01:06:51Say, Mother, you know that Bertha?
01:06:54She's a sketch.
01:06:56You know what she asked me?
01:06:57She wanted to know if we were going to stay here.
01:06:59Guess she thought we were here on a visit.
01:07:01Hi, Dad. Breakfast.
01:07:05Morning, Ricky.
01:07:07Say, let's hurry, shall we?
01:07:09Then we can go for a hike, huh?
01:07:12You know, I learned how to fish up at camp.
01:07:14And, oh, boy, can I cast a fly.
01:07:17What do you say if we go to a lake
01:07:19or someplace where there's trout next summer?
01:07:21Shall we?
01:07:22It's hard to tell where we'll all be next summer.
01:07:25Oh, we'll all be here, won't we?
01:07:29Home.
01:07:33Oh, let's maybe not take a vacation.
01:07:36Let's just stay home.
01:07:38I think I'll like that best.
01:07:41Don't allow yourself to grow too attached to home.
01:07:46Why not?
01:07:48It's just good sense not to, that's all.
01:07:51I don't know what you mean.
01:07:54Perhaps your mother means
01:07:56that it isn't wise to love anything so much
01:08:00that losing it almost kills you.
01:08:03We'll all be here, won't we?
01:08:06I was only giving general advice, Ricky.
01:08:09Gosh, you sound like we're all going to be dead.
01:08:13You both act so funny.
01:08:16Ever since yesterday.
01:08:19Gosh, it's awful.
01:08:22I'm not a baby anymore.
01:08:24I know something's happened.
01:08:27Ricky, come here.
01:08:29Oh, no, Fred.
01:08:31I've got to tell him. I can't stand this any longer.
01:08:33I'm going to tell him.
01:08:35Ricky, I've been unfaithful to your mother.
01:08:41Do you know what that means?
01:08:44What does it mean?
01:08:50Another woman?
01:08:55Yes.
01:08:59Are you and Mother going to separate?
01:09:05I don't know.
01:09:09That's up to her.
01:09:11But I've behaved...
01:09:13Rottenly.
01:09:17Rottenly.
01:09:18You mean we're not going to be a family anymore?
01:09:22What is it, Ricky?
01:09:42I don't know.
01:09:43I feel sort of sick.
01:09:49Oh, Ricky darling.
01:09:51Leave me alone.
01:09:52I'll be all right.
01:09:56Oh, Ricky, don't look like that.
01:10:01Ricky.
01:10:04I don't expect you to understand it.
01:10:06But I do want you to believe that I've never stopped loving your mother.
01:10:11You and she will always be the dearest things in the world to me.
01:10:18No matter what happens.
01:10:22Oh, Ricky.
01:10:24Help me decide.
01:10:26Help me decide.
01:10:28Whatever you say.
01:10:32Do you...
01:10:33Do you still feel the same towards your father?
01:10:36Yes, Mom.
01:10:40Do you still love him?
01:10:43Yes, I do.
01:10:45I do.
01:10:47Mother?
01:10:48Yes, Mom?
01:10:52You do love him terribly, don't you?
01:10:56Yes.
01:10:58He may have done something bad.
01:11:00But he seems the same to me.
01:11:04I guess nobody's perfect.
01:11:08Poor Ricky.
01:11:10Oh, I'm all right, Mother.
01:11:12Anything you say will be all right.
01:11:18Don't you worry.
01:11:21I'm not going to leave him.
01:11:27Honest?
01:11:28Honest.
01:11:30Not just for me.
01:11:32You want to stay, don't you?
01:11:35Of course I do.
01:11:39Ricky, have you got a handkerchief?
01:11:43Gee, I haven't got one.
01:11:48But we'll borrow one from Dad and Kelly.
01:12:02Dad?
01:12:13You know what I think?
01:12:15What, Ricky?
01:12:19I think we're a pretty nice family.
01:12:21That's what I think.
