0:03:28 > 0:03:35Hey! My fish! I got to thinking about him the other day. Where was he?
0:03:35 > 0:03:39You can't take everything. There's no room in our horrid new house.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42We can't pay storage on junk.

0:05:00 > 0:05:04But they had this loyal old family servant
0:05:04 > 0:05:08and the faithful creature followed them from castle to hovel.
0:05:08 > 0:05:14She brought her life savings wrapped in a pitiful handkerchief,

0:05:20 > 0:05:24'Tis a beautiful tale and a lesson to the greedy.

0:10:06 > 0:10:08 Let me tell her!
0:10:08 > 0:10:14- Tell me.- Well, this one you don't need any hands. You play with feet.
0:10:14 > 0:10:18- And a little roller thing with holes makes the keys go up and down!- No!
0:10:18 > 0:10:25- And guess what!- What?- I played it! With this leg. Nobody showed me how!
0:10:25 > 0:10:28That's your smartest leg.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33You have almost everything done!
0:10:35 > 0:10:38Children, come over here.
0:10:39 > 0:10:44- I've just come from the lawyer's. - What happened, Mother?
0:10:44 > 0:10:47Oh, it's nothing that can't be solved.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50We'll make out somehow.
0:10:50 > 0:10:56- I've learned we haven't quite as much money as I thought.- Go on.
0:10:56 > 0:11:02The real blow was the mining stocks George Ferguson got your father to invest in.
0:11:02 > 0:11:07They're not worth the paper they're written on, Mr Manson told me.
0:11:07 > 0:11:12That isn't so bad. We're just in reduced circumstances.
0:11:12 > 0:11:18I'll be happy to beg. I saw a beggar once with a tin cup full of money.
0:11:18 > 0:11:23- Things won't be so very different. - I'm afraid they will, in a way.
0:11:23 > 0:11:28You see, counting everything, we have exactly 50 a month to live on.
0:11:28 > 0:11:35- We can't afford to move to the little house in Boston. - We can't afford the horrible house?
0:11:35 > 0:11:40Oh, Mother, that's wonderful! Oh, Gilly...
0:11:40 > 0:11:43What ails her?
0:11:43 > 0:11:48- Mother, this came today. - What is it?- Mother.
0:11:48 > 0:11:53After Father... Remember that evening when we talked about things
0:11:53 > 0:11:58that had been fun with him, and the best thing was that time in Maine?
0:11:58 > 0:12:01We saw the yellow house in Beulah.
0:12:01 > 0:12:06Yes. Wasn't it beautiful? And nobody lived there.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09That was years ago. You're wild!
0:12:09 > 0:12:12I remember it! You weren't even born.
0:12:12 > 0:12:16- Stop it! Your life's about to change!- Go on.
0:12:16 > 0:12:21A couple of weeks ago, I decided to try to find out about that house.
0:12:21 > 0:12:27I wrote to the postmaster in Beulah, and he answered! His name is Ossian Popham.
0:12:27 > 0:12:31He's the agent for Mr Hamilton, who owns the house,
0:12:31 > 0:12:36who's miles away in China or somewhere, probably a missionary...
0:12:36 > 0:12:41- Could I see Mr Popham's letter? - Oh, it's all right...- Nancy.
0:12:41 > 0:12:42Well...
0:12:43 > 0:12:49- "..The plight of your good self and your little ones..." Nancy! - Read the last page.
0:12:49 > 0:12:54"Beulah is brimming over with fresh milk for your baby boy."
0:12:54 > 0:12:55Baby?
0:12:55 > 0:13:02- "..so there's no need for him to be blue with rickets." Nancy! - Look at the last page.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05He says the yellow house is vacant
0:13:05 > 0:13:12and he knows Mr Hamilton would be glad to rent it to a deserving family like ours for 60 a year.
0:13:12 > 0:13:18- He's Mr Hamilton's trusted friend, his factotum...- Slow down, Nancy!
0:13:18 > 0:13:25Think of living in the country! No storage bills. All our things will fit!
0:13:25 > 0:13:30We'll be self-supporting! Chickens, eggs, vegetables from the garden.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33Air, space, honest toil...
0:13:36 > 0:13:39- Can we, Mother, can we? - Oh, please, Mother.
0:13:39 > 0:13:43But Mother, my school's here, my friends!
0:13:43 > 0:13:48- Beulah's a hick town!- Abraham Lincoln came from a hick town!
0:13:48 > 0:13:50Mother?
0:13:51 > 0:13:57Your father wanted so much for you. It was his dream to live in the country.
0:13:57 > 0:14:02Maybe he'd like to know we were together in the house in Beulah.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06Oh, Mother, I knew it! I knew it! I wished it!
0:14:06 > 0:14:10Gilly, get to the piano. Mother, sit down there.
0:14:10 > 0:14:15In anticipation of this decision, I've written a glorification.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18But first, an introduction from the Bible.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21Church chords, please, Gilly.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25Thou shalt not be termed forsaken.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28Neither shall thy land be termed desolate,
0:14:28 > 0:14:34but it shall be called Beulah, for the Lord delighteth in thee. Amen.

0:16:16 > 0:16:20The name "Ossian Popham" should flame across the sky!
0:16:20 > 0:16:24Pa's just glad somebody's living in the old house.
0:16:24 > 0:16:28Hamiltons haven't used it since I can recollect.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31What's wrong with it? Haunted?
0:16:31 > 0:16:34No. It's too fancy for these parts.
0:16:34 > 0:16:40When Hamiltons fixed up the barn for dancing, Pa said it'd overpower a cow!
0:16:40 > 0:16:46Your father didn't write much about his family. Are you an only child?
0:16:46 > 0:16:50You might say so. I just have a sister. GILLY LAUGHS

0:17:47 > 0:17:53I'm going, soon as I can. See them bright lights, make a little money.
0:17:53 > 0:17:59Money? The heavenly thing about the country is you don't need money!
0:17:59 > 0:18:03- You have the soil, the soil! - What's soil?
0:18:03 > 0:18:04Mud.
0:19:03 > 0:19:08We're here! We're home! Oh, Gilly, come on!

0:19:41 > 0:19:45You mean to tell me that you're the Careys?
0:19:47 > 0:19:53- You must be Ossian Popham! - Yes. At your service, Ma'am.

0:20:15 > 0:20:17No, you don't! No, you don't!
0:20:21 > 0:20:24That must have been... the invalid boy.
0:20:25 > 0:20:30- About that first letter. - I- wrote it....- No need to go on.
0:20:30 > 0:20:35- What you've done's come to me like a blinding flash.- Pa...
0:20:36 > 0:20:39Pa, there's a boy up here!
0:20:39 > 0:20:43It's the Carey boy. Come on down, Lally-Joy.
0:20:44 > 0:20:51That's my daughter. She's shy. She'd be more like me, only her ma won't let her.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54- Look at me, Mother! Look! Whee!- Peter!
0:20:54 > 0:20:58- Where are you? - Look at me! Look at me!
0:20:58 > 0:21:01Whee! Whee! Look at me!
0:21:01 > 0:21:04That must be the rickety baby.
0:21:08 > 0:21:12Mr Popham, I think it's time I told you everything.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15May I tell him, Mother, please?
0:21:15 > 0:21:19You see, Mr Popham, I wrote that letter...
0:21:20 > 0:21:23Oh, I don't know how to begin.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30Uh...
0:21:44 > 0:21:46Oh!
0:21:46 > 0:21:49Gee, I'm sorry!
0:21:49 > 0:21:52They're too heavy for a girl.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56Allow me.
0:22:00 > 0:22:05You don't have to be nice or nothin'. She's my sister.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09That's the way it was.
0:22:12 > 0:22:18I figure this is the only world we've got, until we move to the next one,
0:22:18 > 0:22:24and a story that's a mite off the truth makes things interesting.
0:22:24 > 0:22:28- Like a painter improving on nature? - It ain't an out-and-out lie.
0:22:28 > 0:22:33Just a small white one, only coloured a little.
0:22:33 > 0:22:38Mr Popham understands. The first thing to do is fix up this house!
0:22:38 > 0:22:40Now, where to begin?
0:22:40 > 0:22:47Standing before you is the best painter, carpenter, bricklayer in Maine!
0:22:47 > 0:22:49You're wonderful!
0:22:49 > 0:22:54Mr Popham, one part of the letter was true. We don't have much money.
0:22:54 > 0:22:59Forget about the money. When it's all done, we can figure that out.
0:22:59 > 0:23:04I work cheap if I can take my time and get into some conversing.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08I ain't one to hurry.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11One hurry in the family's enough.
0:23:11 > 0:23:15Mrs Popham does everything right on the dot.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19Sometimes I get terrible sick of that dot.
0:23:19 > 0:23:23It's getting toward noon. I better be digging for home.
0:23:23 > 0:23:27Maria sits and looks at the clock from 11 on,
0:23:27 > 0:23:33then she'll get a meal of cold pork and beans, gingerbread and custard pie on the table.
0:23:33 > 0:23:41She stands and hollers, "Hurry up! It struck 12 two minutes ago and everything's getting overdone!"
0:23:41 > 0:23:44- Well, so long, folks.- Goodbye.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55Thanks for letting me crank her up, Digby!
0:24:01 > 0:24:05HE HUMS
0:24:05 > 0:24:07Pa, I've been doing some thinking.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10Good. Thinking never hurt anybody.
0:24:10 > 0:24:18Pa, do you realise the farthest I've been from Beulah was Four Corners and I was too young to remember?
0:24:18 > 0:24:20What are you getting at?
0:24:20 > 0:24:25Pa, you realise I ain't never seen nothing or done nothing?
0:24:25 > 0:24:27Go on.
0:24:27 > 0:24:32You said a man never gets anywhere standing in one place.
0:24:32 > 0:24:39- How much am I paying you, Digby? - 3 a week, but a fellow can make that in one day in the city.
0:24:41 > 0:24:46- You gonna put a stop to it, Pa? - ..Nope.
0:24:46 > 0:24:50Might as well get it out of your system.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53Might be about the right time, too.
0:24:53 > 0:25:00The boy Gilbert seems as if he might be able to take on the job of driving this truck.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04That Gilly boy - he's awful nice, Pa!
0:25:06 > 0:25:11I got a feeling the money might come in handy for the Careys too.
0:25:11 > 0:25:15They're wonderful folks - even if they ain't got the rickets!
0:25:32 > 0:25:34Smell it, Mother.

0:28:41 > 0:28:43Slow down. I can't!
0:28:46 > 0:28:49HORSES WHINNY
0:28:56 > 0:29:00Gosh, I'm sorry, Digby!
0:29:00 > 0:29:05She was about to blow anyway. Lally-Joy, another tyre to fix!
0:29:05 > 0:29:07It was my fault. Let me fix it.
0:29:07 > 0:29:11No! Digby always lets me fix the flat tyres!
0:29:11 > 0:29:16I'd better learn how in case one blows when she's not around!
0:29:16 > 0:29:18Might.
0:29:18 > 0:29:21You can watch.
0:29:22 > 0:29:25I've been longing to meet you.
0:29:25 > 0:29:30I suppose your husband's too modest to tell you we think he's a saint.
0:29:30 > 0:29:34Nope. Never dared mention it.
0:29:34 > 0:29:39- I'm afraid he hides his light under a bushel.- He hides more than that!
0:29:39 > 0:29:44- There's a whole mess of things... - What a glorious, quaint store!
0:29:44 > 0:29:47You must just adore working in it!
0:29:47 > 0:29:53Oh - all those things for the house. Wallpaper, brushes, paint...
0:29:53 > 0:29:57Maybe we shouldn't do this without Mr Hamilton's approval.
0:29:57 > 0:30:02No need. I told you he's got deep-seated faith in my judgment.
0:30:02 > 0:30:08Give Mrs Popham the grocery list. Take her mind off what it's on.
0:30:10 > 0:30:13Just a saint.
0:30:13 > 0:30:21- Now...wallpaper, and paint, and brushes, and those tools you use to scrape off old wallpaper...?- Yes.
0:30:21 > 0:30:25I'm the king! I'm the king!
0:30:25 > 0:30:26Can I play?
0:30:27 > 0:30:30We don't play with girls!
0:30:30 > 0:30:33- I'm not a girl! - You've got sissy hair!
0:30:33 > 0:30:35Not in Boston!
0:30:35 > 0:30:40Sissy hair! Sissy clothes! You want a fight?
0:30:40 > 0:30:43We don't fight with girls!
0:30:47 > 0:30:50- Ooh! She's mad! - She'll pull your hair!
0:30:55 > 0:30:59Let's go swimming! Last one in's a sissy from Boston!
0:30:59 > 0:31:02Come back and fight! Cowards!
0:31:04 > 0:31:10Hank! Haircuts for the lot. I'll pick 'em up later. Get down, boys.
0:31:21 > 0:31:26Now you're taking over. Here you are, Barney Oldfield.
0:31:26 > 0:31:28Say, thanks!
0:31:28 > 0:31:33- Osh, I forgot to buy a stepladder. - Now you're talking like city folk.
0:31:33 > 0:31:38Country folks don't buy stepladders, they borrow 'em.
0:31:38 > 0:31:40Oh!
0:31:40 > 0:31:43ENGINE CHUGS
0:31:51 > 0:31:55- We forgot Peter!- I'll see that he gets home all right.
0:32:02 > 0:32:07Mr Popham! Now you've a spare minute thrust upon you, I'd like a word.
0:32:07 > 0:32:13Why don't you get back to them strawberry preserves you're fixing?
0:32:13 > 0:32:15Mr Popham.
0:32:16 > 0:32:24Have you written to Mr Hamilton advising him that you took it on yourself to rent the yellow house?
0:32:24 > 0:32:30- I told you - I have written to him. - Has he written you?
0:32:30 > 0:32:31..No.
0:32:31 > 0:32:36He's a busy man. No news is good news.
0:32:36 > 0:32:42Besides, he's off in them furrin parts. Heathens might've et him.
0:32:42 > 0:32:46And you let them Careys tear his house apart?
0:32:46 > 0:32:50Redoin', plantin'. Young 'uns running all over the place.
0:32:50 > 0:32:55- Selling 'em wallpaper for less than it cost you!- That lot never did move.
0:32:55 > 0:32:58They got you bewitched. I know why.
0:32:58 > 0:33:05You wore out the people in this town with your stories and you want new ears.
0:33:05 > 0:33:10But Mr Hamilton's gonna land back in Beulah some day and want his house.
0:33:10 > 0:33:17I'm warning you, if you don't get a letter from Mr Hamilton soon, I'll take matters into my own hands.
0:33:17 > 0:33:21- BUBBLING - Maria, your pot's boiling over.- Oh!
0:33:25 > 0:33:30What do you mean, 1.25? All I know is, I cut five heads.
0:33:30 > 0:33:36All I know is, I got four kids. One, two, three, four.
0:33:36 > 0:33:42- I cut five heads. - One of my sons has two heads?
0:33:42 > 0:33:45LAUGHTER
0:33:45 > 0:33:48I seen and cut five!
0:33:48 > 0:33:51You should get a pair of spectacles!
0:33:53 > 0:33:56I sent four in and I'm picking up four!
0:33:58 > 0:34:02All right. Forget it. Into the wagon, boys.
0:34:10 > 0:34:14- How many heads did he cut, Peter?- Five.
0:34:14 > 0:34:21- How'll I get a job if people think I'm a girl? - So you're looking for work?
0:34:21 > 0:34:28- I'm the only boy in the family that's not working.- That puts a different complexion on things.
0:34:28 > 0:34:33You see, you got on a handsome city outfit.
0:34:33 > 0:34:36It's too good to work in.
0:34:36 > 0:34:42- A man hiring you might get the idea you wouldn't buckle down. - I'll buckle down.
0:34:42 > 0:34:48Of course you will. So...maybe we ought to arrange for a little swap.
0:34:48 > 0:34:53I've been looking for a Buster Brown suit just about that size.
0:34:53 > 0:34:58- If you'd consider swapping it for a pair of overalls...- With patches?
0:34:58 > 0:35:02Of course with patches! And a shirt.
0:35:02 > 0:35:07That's a very, very fine piece of goods.
0:35:07 > 0:35:09So, I won't take advantage of you.
0:35:10 > 0:35:13Now, suppose that I...
0:35:13 > 0:35:19- ..that I give you two bits to boot? - A quarter?
0:35:19 > 0:35:26That's a lot of money. Hank Champlin has to cut a whole head of hair before he makes that much.
0:35:26 > 0:35:30He's got six mouths to feed at his house too.
0:35:30 > 0:35:34With the two bits to boot, I can pay him for my fifth head!
0:35:35 > 0:35:38Be right back!
0:35:40 > 0:35:42SHE HUMS
0:35:42 > 0:35:48Just one ladder in the house. We should find something for you to stand on.
0:35:48 > 0:35:55- Oh, that's all right, Mrs Carey. - Mother, if the house is beautiful, Mr Hamilton might want it back!
0:35:55 > 0:36:01Well, the way it looks now, I don't think he would.
0:36:01 > 0:36:06He could suddenly descend upon us, swoop down like the Yellow Peril.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17- Now do be careful.- That's all right.
0:36:17 > 0:36:20Just get it up here...
0:36:22 > 0:36:27- Shouldn't you have someone to help you?- Any idiot can hang wallpaper!
0:36:29 > 0:36:31Oh!
0:36:31 > 0:36:34PETER: Mother! Mother! Come here!
0:36:34 > 0:36:37- Where is it? - I want to show you something! >
0:36:39 > 0:36:41WOOF!
0:36:41 > 0:36:46- Out! Get him out! - He won't bite! His name's Sam!
0:36:46 > 0:36:49WOOF! WOOF!
0:36:49 > 0:36:52- Come here, Sam!- Out! Out!
0:36:55 > 0:36:58- Oh!- Get him out!
0:36:58 > 0:37:01- My paper!- Don't just stand there! Catch him!
0:37:05 > 0:37:08Here, Sam! Come on, Sam!
0:37:10 > 0:37:12- Don't hurt my dog!- Get him out!
0:37:12 > 0:37:14Catch him!
0:37:16 > 0:37:19- Stop him!- Catch him, catch him!
0:37:21 > 0:37:24Come here!
0:37:24 > 0:37:28- Keep him there! - I'll get him! He likes me!
0:37:35 > 0:37:41- See, he loves you, Mother. - I want that dog out of here!
0:37:41 > 0:37:44- His name's Sam!- Outside!
0:37:44 > 0:37:47- But I promised this man I'd keep him!- What man?
0:37:47 > 0:37:51A rich man! I told him I'd board Sam.
0:37:51 > 0:37:55That enormous thing would eat us out of house and home.
0:37:55 > 0:38:02But we're getting paid! You explained about everybody doing his share. Sam's my share.
0:38:02 > 0:38:07- I'm getting paid 25 cents. - A meal?- A week.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10I'm sorry, Peter. We can't do it.
0:38:10 > 0:38:14- You'll have to take him back. - But the man's already left town!
0:38:14 > 0:38:18- Goodness!- He's going to pay me the next time he sees me.
0:38:18 > 0:38:21You mean you didn't get it?
0:38:21 > 0:38:24SHE LAUGHS
0:38:26 > 0:38:30- What happened to your hair? - I got it cut.
0:38:30 > 0:38:34- And your eye? You've been fighting! - They called me a sissy.
0:38:34 > 0:38:38- Where did you get those rags? - They're my working clothes!
0:38:38 > 0:38:40- Working clothes?- A-hem!
0:38:40 > 0:38:45Not to change the subject, but here's a special delivery letter.
0:38:45 > 0:38:48Special delivery?
0:38:48 > 0:38:52- Thank you.- You ought to see me handle that...- Shh.
0:38:52 > 0:38:55- Special delivery.- Oh.
0:38:57 > 0:39:00What is it?
0:39:01 > 0:39:03What does it say?
0:39:03 > 0:39:08- Julia. She's coming to stay with us next week.- Oh, no!
0:39:08 > 0:39:11Oh, please! Not Julia!
0:39:17 > 0:39:19Oh...
0:39:21 > 0:39:26Best leave these folks to their grief. Come on, Lally-Joy.
0:39:26 > 0:39:32- Do I have to? It's been real interesting.- Yes, come on. See you tomorrow.
0:39:32 > 0:39:34Goodbye.
0:39:34 > 0:39:36And thanks for everything.
0:39:39 > 0:39:43And I want you two out of those dying gladiator attitudes!
0:39:43 > 0:39:49- Julia's your cousin, and a Carey. Don't forget that.- Forget it?
0:39:49 > 0:39:54Nancy, try to realise that Julia's story is rather a sad one.
0:39:54 > 0:39:58She never knew her mother, and after her dear father died,
0:39:58 > 0:40:03- the Fergusons kindly took her in and raised her.- Kindly?
0:40:03 > 0:40:10George Ferguson had a guilty conscience. The stocks he sold her father were as worthless as ours!
0:40:10 > 0:40:18- She's their responsibility. Why dump her on us?- George says he can't keep her. Another unfortunate investment.
0:40:18 > 0:40:22- Mmm.- But there is one thing we're going to do.
0:40:22 > 0:40:25We're going to welcome her.
0:40:25 > 0:40:29As a cousin, and as a young girl who has no other home to go to.
0:40:29 > 0:40:33We didn't really have a home for a while either,
0:40:33 > 0:40:37but we didn't beg all our relatives to take us in.
0:40:41 > 0:40:44Have you both forgotten?
0:40:44 > 0:40:46We had each other.
0:40:50 > 0:40:55Julia doesn't know any of this. It would kill her if she found out.
0:40:55 > 0:41:01- So not a word out of either of you. - All right. The more, the hungrier.
0:41:02 > 0:41:07- Find some place for that dog to sleep.- There's room on my bed!
0:41:07 > 0:41:09Outside!
0:41:11 > 0:41:13Julia!
0:41:13 > 0:41:19I'll be nice to her for Mother's sake, but...Julia's a pill!
0:41:19 > 0:41:21Complete!
0:41:21 > 0:41:25And she does think she's the pink of perfection.
0:41:37 > 0:41:40# She's the pink of perfection
0:41:40 > 0:41:43# From her prissy pink nose
0:41:43 > 0:41:49# To her custard complexion And eleven pink toes
0:41:49 > 0:41:52# With a chin like a prune
0:41:52 > 0:41:55# She's a dainty baboon
0:41:55 > 0:41:57# And...
0:41:57 > 0:42:01# She thinks she's the pink of perfection
0:42:02 > 0:42:07# She's the pink of perfection Made of skim milk and rice
0:42:07 > 0:42:13# She's a witch's confection Makes your blood turn to ice
0:42:13 > 0:42:16- #- Like a stale charlotte russe
0:42:16 > 0:42:20- #- With the charm of a moose
0:42:20 > 0:42:25# And she thinks she's the pink of perfection
0:42:27 > 0:42:33- #- Never walked there a creature With features so fair
0:42:33 > 0:42:38- #- Like a Lilian Russell
0:42:38 > 0:42:41# Without any hair
0:42:43 > 0:42:48- #- She's a princess presiding in diaphanous gowns
0:42:48 > 0:42:53- #- With a face and a figure that's the envy of clowns
0:42:53 > 0:42:57# She's a knock-kneed gazelle
0:42:57 > 0:43:02# With a voice like a bell... #
0:43:02 > 0:43:04HOWWWL!
0:43:04 > 0:43:10# And she thinks she's the pink of perfection. #
0:43:12 > 0:43:14Gee, I can't wait to see her!
0:43:18 > 0:43:21WOOF! WOOF! WOOF!
0:43:23 > 0:43:30DOG'S BARKS ECHOES
0:43:32 > 0:43:35Here, Sam!
0:43:35 > 0:43:37Come on, boy!
0:43:37 > 0:43:40Come on, boy! Come on!
0:43:44 > 0:43:47Here, Sam! Come on, boy!
0:43:53 > 0:43:57Quiet, boy, quiet! You're not supposed to be in here!
0:43:57 > 0:44:02If you get out early in the morning you can always sleep with me!
0:44:02 > 0:44:05Go to sleep now!
0:44:09 > 0:44:14- What a charming place, I DON'T think!- What's wrong with it?
0:44:14 > 0:44:19Everything! If one must have Maine, why not Bar Harbor?
0:44:19 > 0:44:21This place is truly primitive!
0:44:21 > 0:44:24- Sure is!- Practically unsettled!
0:44:24 > 0:44:30We don't see too many Indians nowadays, but there's plenty of wildlife.
0:44:30 > 0:44:33What kind of wildlife?
0:44:33 > 0:44:40Oh the usual. Not too many moose. Some wild cats. Lots of bears.
0:44:40 > 0:44:45And the ordinary small stuff. A wolf or two, fox, skunks...
0:44:45 > 0:44:47Snakes?
0:44:47 > 0:44:53Only one in ten is poisonous. When we get bit we have a slug of whisky.
0:44:53 > 0:44:54Even Peter.
0:45:08 > 0:45:12Don't they even fix the roads in this backwoods place?
0:45:12 > 0:45:14These are just wilderness trails!
0:45:14 > 0:45:19Rapids ahead! Hold tight - maybe we'll make it!
0:45:34 > 0:45:38Hello, Peter. Let me out of this thing!
0:45:47 > 0:45:50- She's not knock-kneed, Nancy!- Shh!
0:45:52 > 0:45:54Julia!
0:45:54 > 0:45:59- Oh, dear!- Aunt Margaret. - Welcome to the yellow house!
0:45:59 > 0:46:05- Thank you.- Was it a pleasant trip? - No! No parlour car on the train!- Oh.
0:46:05 > 0:46:11And this wilderness! Last summer, Gladys Ferguson and I had a glorious time in East Hampton!
0:46:11 > 0:46:14Come along.
0:46:14 > 0:46:20The last thing dear Mrs Ferguson said to me was, "Don't let poverty drag you down.
0:46:20 > 0:46:27"Keep high thoughts and don't let them get soiled by the grime of daily living."
0:46:28 > 0:46:34Oh, lovely(!) Especially the part about the grime of daily living!
0:46:34 > 0:46:37- A pill!- Complete, utter!
0:46:37 > 0:46:40I think she's pretty!
0:46:40 > 0:46:43- You go and play with Sam. Vanish! - Scat!
0:46:47 > 0:46:51Naturally, we dressed for dinner every night.
0:46:51 > 0:46:58Gladys Ferguson's French maid laid out our dresses. We didn't have to turn a hand.
0:46:58 > 0:47:02If you could see Gladys' wardrobe! Her things are exquisite.
0:47:02 > 0:47:06Nothing machine-stitched has ever touched her skin.
0:47:06 > 0:47:11Everything hand-sewn by dear little nuns in Switzerland.
0:47:11 > 0:47:14And the dances, Nancy!
0:47:14 > 0:47:19- Did I say Gladys doesn't know one boy that doesn't go to Harvard?- You did.
0:47:19 > 0:47:23Excuse me, Julia. I'll have to get our boy to bed.
0:47:23 > 0:47:28Come on, Peter. You're going to sleep with me tonight.
0:47:28 > 0:47:32- I can't!- Julia is in your room till we get another bed in Nancy's.
0:47:32 > 0:47:35- Please!- Not another word. Come along.
0:47:35 > 0:47:40Good night, Julia. Breakfast at seven. Good night, children.
0:47:40 > 0:47:42- Seven in the morning?- Mmm.
0:47:42 > 0:47:45Good night, Aunt Margaret.
0:47:45 > 0:47:48- Mother...- Come along, Peter!
0:47:48 > 0:47:51- Now, where was I? - Just a minute, Julia.
0:47:51 > 0:47:55- Everything locked up tight, Gilly? - Oh, sure.
0:47:59 > 0:48:02- Oh, dark tonight, isn't it?- Inky.
0:48:06 > 0:48:09Wouldn't like to be out there alone.
0:48:09 > 0:48:12I remember when...
0:48:12 > 0:48:13Ssh!
0:48:13 > 0:48:17- (What's that noise? - Sure the bear locks are on?
0:48:17 > 0:48:22- (Wouldn't dare forget them. - Well, I guess we're safe enough.)
0:48:22 > 0:48:28- Safe from what?- Oh, nothing, nothing. But this IS the wilderness.
0:48:28 > 0:48:34- I should think out here, nobody would...- Oh, noBODY would.
0:48:34 > 0:48:37They're just after honey.
0:48:37 > 0:48:38Who is?
0:48:38 > 0:48:43Well, I guess we've done all that's humanly possible.
0:48:43 > 0:48:45Humanly.
0:48:45 > 0:48:51Ready for bed, Julia? Or would you rather sit here alone and read a good book?
0:48:51 > 0:48:54I think I'll go up with you.
0:48:54 > 0:48:59(Check the back door again, Gil. Better safe than sorry.)
0:48:59 > 0:49:00Right.
0:49:00 > 0:49:03After you, Julia.
0:49:41 > 0:49:43Who's there?
0:49:45 > 0:49:49BLOODCURDLING SCREAMS
0:49:49 > 0:49:52I tried to tell you!
0:49:52 > 0:49:54Julia? Julia!
0:49:54 > 0:49:57- JULIA SOBS AND SCREAMS - Oh!
0:50:02 > 0:50:04Julia!
0:50:13 > 0:50:17JULIA SOBS
0:50:18 > 0:50:23Try to stop crying, dear. You'll make yourself sick.
0:50:24 > 0:50:27It was deliberately planned!
0:50:27 > 0:50:29On purpose! They're all against me!
0:50:29 > 0:50:32Oh, nobody's against you, Julia.
0:50:32 > 0:50:39We want you to be part of the family, but we have a little boy who has a great big dog.
0:50:39 > 0:50:42- Nobody cares what happens to me! - Oh...
0:50:42 > 0:50:44Julia?
0:50:46 > 0:50:49I heated some milk.
0:50:49 > 0:50:52I'll take it, dear.
0:50:52 > 0:50:57See that Peter sleeps in his bed tonight. I'm keeping Julia with me.
0:50:57 > 0:51:00Yes, Mother.
0:51:00 > 0:51:01Julia...
0:51:04 > 0:51:07Good night, Mother.
0:51:07 > 0:51:09Good night, dear.
0:51:17 > 0:51:23How do you like that? Pink of perfection raises her roof and lands in a bed of roses.
0:51:23 > 0:51:26Where's Peter?
0:51:26 > 0:51:29I don't know. He's not in his room.
0:51:31 > 0:51:33Peter!
0:51:40 > 0:51:41Peter?
0:51:45 > 0:51:50- Come on. Bed. You can sleep in your own room tonight.- Sam too?
0:51:50 > 0:51:51No.
0:51:51 > 0:51:57Then can I sleep with Sam? He's had a terrible scare!
0:51:57 > 0:52:01- Come on to bed now, Peter. - Nancy, Sam's upset!
0:52:01 > 0:52:03I know.
0:52:05 > 0:52:07Bye, Sam.
0:52:19 > 0:52:23Very good. Very good. You're going to be a real carpenter.
0:52:23 > 0:52:26WOOF! WOOF!
0:52:41 > 0:52:44Osh! Look, Osh!
0:52:49 > 0:52:51Hmm.
0:52:51 > 0:52:55He climbed up there all by himself. He likes me!
0:52:56 > 0:52:59Hmm, that's a mighty handsome critter.
0:52:59 > 0:53:02He has a very ugly face.
0:53:02 > 0:53:07Maybe he's thinking the same thing about you!
0:53:07 > 0:53:12You know, the little critters of nature don't know they're ugly.
0:53:12 > 0:53:15- They don't?- Except one.
0:53:15 > 0:53:18- #- Once a lonely caterpillar sat and cried
0:53:18 > 0:53:23- #- To a sympathetic beetle by his side
0:53:23 > 0:53:27- #- I've got nobody to hug
0:53:27 > 0:53:30- #- I'm such an ugly bug
0:53:30 > 0:53:33- #- Then a spider and a dragonfly replied
0:53:33 > 0:53:37- #- If you're serious and want to win a bride
0:53:37 > 0:53:40- #- Come along with us To the glorious
0:53:40 > 0:53:43- #- Annual Ugly Bug Ball

0:53:46 > 0:53:50- #- To the Ugly Bug Ball To the ball, to the ball
0:53:50 > 0:53:53- #- And a happy time we'll have there
0:53:53 > 0:53:55- #- One and all
0:53:55 > 0:53:58- #- At the Ugly Bug Ball!
0:54:19 > 0:54:22- #- While the crickets clicked their cricky melodies
0:54:22 > 0:54:26- #- All the ants were fancy dancing with the fleas
0:54:26 > 0:54:30- #- Then up from under the ground
0:54:30 > 0:54:33- #- The worms came squirming around
0:54:33 > 0:54:36- #- Oh, they danced until their legs were nearly lame
0:54:36 > 0:54:41- #- Every little crawling creature you could name
0:54:41 > 0:54:44- #- Everyone was glad What a time they had
0:54:44 > 0:54:46- #- They were so happy they came
0:54:46 > 0:54:50- #- Come on, let's crawl - Gotta crawl, gotta crawl
0:54:50 > 0:54:53- #- To the Ugly Bug Ball - To the ball, to the ball
0:54:53 > 0:54:57- #- And a happy time we'll have there
0:54:57 > 0:55:01- #- One and all - At the Ugly Bug Ball. #
0:55:11 > 0:55:14HARMONICA
0:55:15 > 0:55:18MOUTH HARP
0:55:18 > 0:55:24- #- Then our caterpillar saw a pretty queen
0:55:24 > 0:55:27- #- She was beautiful and yellow, black and green
0:55:28 > 0:55:32- #- He said, "Would you care to dance?"
0:55:32 > 0:55:34- #- Their dancing led to romance
0:55:34 > 0:55:38- #- Then she sat upon his caterpillar knees
0:55:38 > 0:55:42- #- And he gave his caterpillar queen a squeeze
0:55:42 > 0:55:45- #- Soon they'll honeymoon Build a big cocoon
0:55:45 > 0:55:48- #- Thanks to the Ugly Bug Ball
0:55:48 > 0:55:51- #- Come on, let's crawl - Gotta crawl, gotta crawl

0:55:58 > 0:56:02- #- One and all At the Ugly Bug Ball!- #
0:56:02 > 0:56:03Osh?
0:56:03 > 0:56:06Mother wants you.
0:56:11 > 0:56:14Not too hot. Test it with your elbow.
0:56:14 > 0:56:17Julia, you can't take a bath in here!
0:56:17 > 0:56:23I'm tired of lugging kettles of hot water upstairs.
0:56:23 > 0:56:28At the Fergusons', Gladys and I had a private bath with hot running water.
0:56:28 > 0:56:31This is the Careys'.
0:56:31 > 0:56:38If the Careys are silly enough to spend money on a house they don't even own,
0:56:38 > 0:56:43they should have installed civilised plumbing in this primitive place.
0:56:43 > 0:56:46Well, really!
0:56:46 > 0:56:49Where is your ma?
0:56:49 > 0:56:51In the sewing room.
0:56:54 > 0:56:58Primitive or not, the Careys are just as clean as the Fergusons!
0:56:58 > 0:57:03- Close the door, please.- You don't have to help her, Lally-Joy!
0:57:03 > 0:57:05I don't mind!
0:57:10 > 0:57:13- Mrs Carey, did you want something? - Yes, Osh.
0:57:13 > 0:57:18- I've been figuring. Facing facts. - I hate facts!
0:57:18 > 0:57:22There's one very unpleasant one. We haven't enough money.
0:57:22 > 0:57:27If we want to stay in this house, we can't go on fixing it.
0:57:27 > 0:57:32- We haven't started the outside yet! - We must live in it the way it is.
0:57:32 > 0:57:34Oh, no!
0:57:36 > 0:57:40No hurry about paying me. We'll get round to it some day.
0:57:40 > 0:57:45It won't do, Osh. You're too kind! We can't accept it.
0:57:45 > 0:57:50- There's the second rent payment to Mr Hamilton...- I clean forgot!
0:57:50 > 0:57:58- I've a letter from him in my pocket. ..Must be in my coat.- Did he get my letter about the improvements?
0:57:58 > 0:58:03..Oh, yes, sir! I put it with the one I wrote him about that time.
0:58:03 > 0:58:11He was so overjoyed about what you were doing to the house, adding to its value,
0:58:11 > 0:58:16- he wouldn't even consider taking any rent money.- No rent money?
0:58:16 > 0:58:19Mother! That makes a difference...
0:58:19 > 0:58:27- We can't accept it. Mr Hamilton is very kind...- Hold your horses, Mrs Carey. He wants a favour in return.
0:58:27 > 0:58:29- A favour? From us?- Yes.
0:58:29 > 0:58:34He wants you to find a suitable place for his dear mother's picture.
0:58:35 > 0:58:38- His mother's picture?- Of course!
0:58:38 > 0:58:42Dear old soul! Portrait of a lady. Where is she, Osh?
0:58:42 > 0:58:47Well, he hid her! He hid her away someplace safe.
0:58:47 > 0:58:51He wrote it down real clear but it's gone out of my head.
0:58:51 > 0:58:56If you bring the letter, she'll have a place of honour!
0:58:56 > 0:59:02That's the idea. He wrote something about a simple vase of flowers - on her birthday.
0:59:02 > 0:59:06- Of course! When is her birthday? - Well, he...
0:59:06 > 0:59:12Seems he said it was along with the fall of the year... Hallowe'en!
0:59:12 > 0:59:16- Hallowe'en? - People ARE born on Hallowe'en.
0:59:16 > 0:59:19Perfect! It'll tie in with our housewarming.
0:59:19 > 0:59:24We can have a solemn ceremony. Candles, a simple bouquet,
0:59:24 > 0:59:29- painting - by Sargent or Whistler. - Sounds too good to be true.
0:59:29 > 0:59:32- ENGINE CHUGS - There's Gilly now.
0:59:32 > 0:59:37You see, Mother? We were fated to live here!
0:59:43 > 0:59:44I was...
0:59:44 > 0:59:50- Don't try to stop me, Mr Popham! - Of course not. Is it a social call?
0:59:50 > 0:59:53I ain't feeling social, Mr Popham.
0:59:53 > 1:00:00I'm here to talk gospel truth to Mrs Carey. I searched for a letter from Mr Hamilton.
1:00:00 > 1:00:04I didn't find one. This thing's gone far enough.
1:00:04 > 1:00:10- What are you going to tell the Careys, Maria?- My suspicions!
1:00:18 > 1:00:24I look on the dark side. Living with Mr Popham, and him so hopeful.
1:00:24 > 1:00:28- He keeps OUR spirits up. - You don't get him steady.
1:00:28 > 1:00:36Hopefulness meals, hopefulness days, hopefulness nights. One everlasting stream of hopefulness.
1:00:36 > 1:00:42Even as a boy, he always looked on the bright side, whether there was any or not.
1:00:42 > 1:00:45His parents got terrible sick of it.
1:00:45 > 1:00:50- It's wonderful, seeing the bright side.- Wonderful? Tiresome!
1:00:50 > 1:00:57I like to believe in a first-class cloud. Thick and black clean through.
1:00:57 > 1:01:01I get tired to death of Mr Popham's silver linings.
1:01:01 > 1:01:06- We all believe in silver linings and rainbows, and...- I don't.
1:01:06 > 1:01:12I always expect the worst. I ain't ever been disappointed. It's why I've come.
1:01:12 > 1:01:14- Is something wrong? - CRASH!
1:01:17 > 1:01:19My goodness!
1:01:22 > 1:01:26- Osh! - HE GROANS
1:01:27 > 1:01:30Pa! Mr Popham!
1:01:31 > 1:01:34- He's unconscious!- Speak to me, Pa!
1:01:34 > 1:01:36Ossian! Can you hear me?
1:01:39 > 1:01:41Maria...
1:01:41 > 1:01:46- Julia! Tell Gilly to get the doctor. - No, no! I'll be all right.
1:01:46 > 1:01:51I'll be all right. Just take me home, Maria.
1:01:51 > 1:01:53It's my leg.
1:01:54 > 1:01:57AHHH!
1:01:57 > 1:01:58Ohh...
1:02:00 > 1:02:04Crank her up, Lally-Joy! This is for his head!
1:02:04 > 1:02:09- I'll be all right, once I get home. Oh!- Be careful, Osh!
1:02:09 > 1:02:11Ohhh! Oh!
1:02:13 > 1:02:15Oh!
1:02:15 > 1:02:17- Ohh!- For his head!
1:02:19 > 1:02:22- Ohhh!- That's it!
1:02:27 > 1:02:29- Hold on!- Take care!
1:02:49 > 1:02:51Good morning!
1:02:51 > 1:02:56- Good morning.- This is Charles Bryant, our new schoolteacher.
1:02:56 > 1:02:59- Mrs Carey. - We've all been expecting you.
1:02:59 > 1:03:04- You seem very young for such a chore.- He's just out of college.
1:03:04 > 1:03:10I love his name! Charles Bryant. It's so dignified!
1:03:10 > 1:03:14- He looks awfully young to be a teacher.- Isn't he handsome?
1:03:14 > 1:03:20Aren't you sorry you're finished that elegant finishing school?
1:03:20 > 1:03:24It might be the social thing to do if we had him to tea.
1:03:24 > 1:03:29Julia, that's an inspiration! This afternoon? Refreshments on the lawn.
1:03:29 > 1:03:37- Maybe a small affair.- We should ask Mother so it's not too obvious. But we'll start with him.
1:03:37 > 1:03:40We needed new faces, new ideas, and laughter.
1:03:40 > 1:03:46- Mr Lord forgets Beulah has given the Careys a new life!- Thank you.
1:03:46 > 1:03:48Oh!
1:03:48 > 1:03:54Two more Careys! Young ladies, this is Mr Bryant, your new teacher this fall.
1:03:54 > 1:03:59- How do you do?- Mr Lord, I finished at Miss Somerville's!
1:03:59 > 1:04:06Then, Charles, may I present Miss Nancy Carey and dear old Miss Julia Carey?
1:04:06 > 1:04:10My pleasure, young ladies. Excuse me.
1:04:11 > 1:04:12Oh!
1:04:13 > 1:04:20- Mr Bryant, Julia and I are having a little afternoon thing... - (Affair!)- ..affair today.
1:04:20 > 1:04:25- We hope you'll be able to show up. - (Attend!)- Attend.
1:04:25 > 1:04:31- The whole thing's spur-of-the-moment.- (Impromptu.) - Impromptu thing. Affair.
1:04:31 > 1:04:36We hope you'll be able to come. We hope everyone will be able to come.
1:04:36 > 1:04:39- But first, will you? - Yes. I'd be delighted.
1:04:42 > 1:04:45Oh. Julia...
1:04:48 > 1:04:49Mother!
1:04:49 > 1:04:56- May we invite some intimate friends to the house this afternoon? - I don't see why not.
1:04:56 > 1:05:00Oh, good! We've already invited him!
1:05:00 > 1:05:01Him?
1:05:05 > 1:05:12- The girls have invited some friends this afternoon. Will you come? - Be happy to.
1:05:16 > 1:05:22Let's see which one of you ladies is going to be old Mrs Hamilton.
1:05:39 > 1:05:42I've seen you someplace before.
1:06:07 > 1:06:09Ossian,
1:06:09 > 1:06:12dinner's on the table... Oh!
1:06:14 > 1:06:18Mr Popham, what are you doing with them women? It's the Sabbath!
1:06:18 > 1:06:23I'm looking for a work of art to take over to the Careys'.
1:06:26 > 1:06:30They've got a lot of wall space there.
1:06:33 > 1:06:35Hand me that old apron.
1:06:35 > 1:06:38You can't take any of that junk.
1:06:40 > 1:06:45She's got a kind face. Pity she's got pattern on her.
1:06:45 > 1:06:49There's only one that's fit to have. Miss Gracewood.
1:06:49 > 1:06:55Wasn't much to look at but she was a good woman.
1:06:55 > 1:06:58Spent her life on the opposing side.
1:06:58 > 1:07:02If she hadn't went down in the wreck off Nantucket Light,
1:07:02 > 1:07:07the demon rum would have been chased off the New England coast.
1:07:07 > 1:07:12A real martyr. Insisted on going down with the ship.
1:07:12 > 1:07:17- Everybody else was saved. Crew and captain.- Hmm.
1:07:17 > 1:07:20That's a mighty inspiring story.
1:07:23 > 1:07:28Maria. Relax and enjoy yourself today at the Careys', will you?
1:07:28 > 1:07:33This is no time to go upsetting them with cold facts.
1:07:33 > 1:07:35Very well, but I'm warning you -
1:07:35 > 1:07:42the town constable will catch you and you'll spend the rest of your life in prison.
1:07:42 > 1:07:47Aren't you forgetting the town constable is named Ossian Popham?
1:08:02 > 1:08:08Where's the cake knife? Where are all the napkins? Where's Julia?
1:08:08 > 1:08:10Upstairs in her room, primping.
1:08:10 > 1:08:15Charming! WE'LL give a little social affair. WE'LL invite...
1:08:15 > 1:08:17Oh, here he comes!
1:08:22 > 1:08:24- Mr Bryant!- Oh! Miss Nancy!
1:08:24 > 1:08:29- You must be tired, pedalling all the way!- It keeps me in condition.
1:08:29 > 1:08:34- Still, I think you need a glass of lemonade.- That sounds great.
1:08:34 > 1:08:40I couldn't help noticing your Phi Beta Kappa key. You must be proud of it.
1:08:40 > 1:08:44- They're quite common. - They're unique in Beulah!
1:08:47 > 1:08:54- I hope you don't find yourself in an intellectual desert here. Ice cream, Gilly.- Thank you.
1:08:54 > 1:08:57- What did you major in? - English Lit, but I...
1:08:57 > 1:09:00Literature! I love it! Poetry...
1:09:00 > 1:09:05- "This is the forest primeval, the murmuring pines..."- Here.
1:09:05 > 1:09:08Two scoops. Oh! The napkins. I'll get them.
1:09:11 > 1:09:14- Mr Bryant.- Oh. Thank you.
1:09:25 > 1:09:30You're rather late arriving at a little affair WE'RE giving!
1:09:30 > 1:09:36You look exhausted. Why don't you bathe your face and comb your hair?
1:09:36 > 1:09:40- I'VE been working. - That's what I mean. You look it.
1:09:48 > 1:09:53Mr Bryant, you shouldn't stand out here in this hot sun!
1:09:56 > 1:09:59I think we can find some shade.
1:09:59 > 1:10:01Shade sounds great.
1:10:05 > 1:10:06Oh!
1:10:12 > 1:10:17- Nancy!- Osh.- I've remembered where old Mrs Hamilton's picture was hid.
1:10:17 > 1:10:23- Where is she?- Since I mislaid that letter, I ain't been able to sleep.
1:10:23 > 1:10:27Then it come to me like a ray of light.
1:10:27 > 1:10:31- She's in there! - In the Dutch oven?
1:10:31 > 1:10:36- Just like the letter said! - Funny place to put your mother!
1:10:36 > 1:10:42That old Dutch oven is cool and dry. Wouldn't harm the old lady herself!
1:10:42 > 1:10:45You'll be out soon!
1:10:47 > 1:10:50A dear little gold football.
1:10:52 > 1:10:55And to think that YOU won it!
1:10:55 > 1:10:57Please tell me all about it!
1:10:57 > 1:11:01Well, Dartmouth were on our five-yard line...
1:11:01 > 1:11:06I wondered where everybody was! What have you got there, Julia?
1:11:06 > 1:11:08A football!
1:11:08 > 1:11:10"Brown University.
1:11:10 > 1:11:13"Charles Bryant...Brown."
1:11:15 > 1:11:20You must be Bandy Bryant! I've seen you play!
1:11:20 > 1:11:23You got the ball at the five-yard line...
1:11:23 > 1:11:31- He knows what he did, Nancy!- I like to relive it. It was a glorious moment in a great American scene!
1:11:33 > 1:11:37- Mr Bryant... - A renowned athlete, sitting here,
1:11:37 > 1:11:41when you're probably dying to be batting something!
1:11:41 > 1:11:46- Well, I...- I don't play football, but how about a game of croquet?
1:11:46 > 1:11:48Fine.
1:11:54 > 1:11:59I can't wait till school begins!
1:12:03 > 1:12:07- I have another turn now, Mr Bryant?- Yes.
1:12:07 > 1:12:10I think I'll try for Julia.
1:12:21 > 1:12:24Your turn, Miss Julia.
1:12:26 > 1:12:29Oh, dear! Nancy's so athletic!
1:12:32 > 1:12:34What am I doing wrong?
1:12:34 > 1:12:36May I?
1:12:36 > 1:12:39Put that hand there...
1:12:39 > 1:12:43There. You've a chance to knock me away from the wicket.
1:12:43 > 1:12:46I couldn't do THAT!
1:12:46 > 1:12:49It's part of the game. Hit him!
1:12:51 > 1:12:53No, no!
1:12:53 > 1:12:56Like this. That's right.
1:12:59 > 1:13:02I really can't hit YOU, Mr Bryant!
1:13:02 > 1:13:07- For the love of Pete! It's part of the game!- Is it?
1:13:15 > 1:13:19Nice shot, Miss Julia! Hit out of bounds.
1:14:18 > 1:14:19I won!
1:14:23 > 1:14:25I won.
1:14:25 > 1:14:27SHE GIGGLES
1:14:32 > 1:14:36- #- Three creaky wooden stairs
1:14:37 > 1:14:41- #- Those squeaky rocking chairs
1:14:43 > 1:14:46- #- The well-worn welcome mat
1:14:46 > 1:14:50- #- The lattice vines
1:14:50 > 1:14:53- #- The happy times
1:14:55 > 1:14:59- #- All I want to do-oo
1:14:59 > 1:15:04- #- When the day is through-oo
1:15:05 > 1:15:08- #- Is linger here
1:15:08 > 1:15:13- #- On the front porch with you
1:15:15 > 1:15:19- #- From the wicker swing
1:15:19 > 1:15:25- #- While the night birds sing
1:15:25 > 1:15:29- #- We'll watch the fireflies sparking
1:15:29 > 1:15:34- #- Do some sparking too
1:15:34 > 1:15:39- #- How the hours fly
1:15:40 > 1:15:44- #- As the moon drifts by
1:15:44 > 1:15:48- #- How sweet the air
1:15:48 > 1:15:50- #- As we stare
1:15:50 > 1:15:53- #- At the sky
1:15:54 > 1:16:01- #- Oh, how I love to linger here like this
1:16:01 > 1:16:08- #- Hold your hand and steal a kiss or two
1:16:08 > 1:16:11- #- On the front porch

1:17:49 > 1:17:52Well, after all the time she took primping!
1:17:52 > 1:17:56She could at least hang up her clothes!
1:17:56 > 1:18:01What does she think she is? A guest in this house or something?
1:18:02 > 1:18:07# ..And steal a kiss or two... #
1:18:07 > 1:18:09Oh, I thought you'd be in bed!
1:18:12 > 1:18:15With your stuff piled all over it?
1:18:15 > 1:18:19- You left this place like a pigsty!- Did I?
1:18:19 > 1:18:23You know, there's nothing like a college man.
1:18:24 > 1:18:29I hope your mother will save to get Gilly into a good college.
1:18:29 > 1:18:33Give one of you a chance to amount to something.
1:18:35 > 1:18:39- What did you say?- I said... - I heard you!
1:18:39 > 1:18:42I want you to know you make me sick.
1:18:42 > 1:18:47I'm sick of Gladys's clothes and her French maid and her old lace.
1:18:47 > 1:18:50- I'm sick of the Fergusons. - RIP!
1:18:50 > 1:18:55That's right, tear my dress(!) Pull the buttons off. It's only imported!
1:18:55 > 1:19:02You're very imported! But I'm tired of doing your work and picking up after you.
1:19:02 > 1:19:05- Don't pick up after me!- I won't!
1:19:05 > 1:19:06Ohh!
1:19:11 > 1:19:17Imported chemise, French silk, hand-made shirtwaist, English lisle.
1:19:17 > 1:19:21Crepe-de-Chine drawers. Oh, no, they were over there.
1:19:21 > 1:19:24I know what's wrong! You're jealous!
1:19:24 > 1:19:26Jealous?
1:19:26 > 1:19:28Me, jealous? Oh!
1:19:28 > 1:19:34- Yes, because of Charles. - Oh, so it's Charles now, is it?
1:19:40 > 1:19:46"Oh, Mr Bryant, I couldn't hit your croquet ball! I'm too weak and dainty!
1:19:46 > 1:19:51"But I might take a weensy push at Nancy Carey's ball."
1:19:51 > 1:19:57- WHACK! - "Mercy! I only sent her 100 yards but I couldn't hit you!"
1:19:57 > 1:20:04- Hilarious(!)- If you knew how you look pretending to be dumb. - I am dumb.- You're not.- I am!
1:20:04 > 1:20:08- Ha ha(!)- No use talking to you. You're a child.
1:20:08 > 1:20:13A jealous child. A year with the Fergusons might make a lady of you.
1:20:13 > 1:20:16- My mother hasn't? - She hasn't succeeded.
1:20:16 > 1:20:22Go back to the Fergusons, then. Oh, no - they dumped you here with us.
1:20:22 > 1:20:29George Ferguson only raised you because he felt guilty for losing all your father's money.
1:20:29 > 1:20:37- If he hadn't lost MY father's money, I might have a maid and Gilly could go to college.- I don't believe you.
1:20:37 > 1:20:40Oh, Julia!
1:20:40 > 1:20:42I'm sorry, I...
1:20:48 > 1:20:53- Aunt Margaret?- What? - Is what Nancy told me true?
1:20:53 > 1:20:58- What is it?- I've done a terrible thing! I was mad. It slipped out!
1:20:58 > 1:21:00Tell her what you said.
1:21:00 > 1:21:03Oh, Mother, you know what I said.
1:21:03 > 1:21:06Nancy, how could you?
1:21:06 > 1:21:11- Julia, I...- No matter what Nancy says, the Fergusons love me!
1:21:11 > 1:21:14Of course they do.
1:21:14 > 1:21:17And we love you too, Julia.
1:21:19 > 1:21:23And, dear, I've had a letter from George Ferguson.
1:21:23 > 1:21:28His affairs are looking brighter and they're ready to take you back.
1:21:31 > 1:21:34Take me back?
1:21:34 > 1:21:41I've put off telling you because... I hoped you'd care for us as much as we care for you.
1:21:41 > 1:21:46- But it has to be your choice. - Oh, please choose us, Julia!
1:21:50 > 1:21:51I do!
1:21:52 > 1:21:55Oh, Aunt Margaret!
1:21:55 > 1:22:01I don't want to go back! I'm happy here. Please let me stay!
1:22:01 > 1:22:04- Please, Mother!- Oh, of course!
1:22:06 > 1:22:09Oh, Nancy!
1:22:09 > 1:22:10Julia.
1:22:10 > 1:22:16It's my fault. I'll do my share and I'll never mention the Fergusons again!
1:22:16 > 1:22:21- And my dresses weren't imported. I made them myself.- You did?
1:22:21 > 1:22:29If I do all the dishes and stuff, will you help me with my dress for the housewarming? I'm all thumbs!
1:22:29 > 1:22:34I have a wonderful book of patterns. Gladys... I mean, it's from Paris.
1:22:34 > 1:22:40- The latest styles! - Really? Oh, a Paris gown!
1:22:40 > 1:22:43Goodnight...sisters.
1:22:45 > 1:22:48That's the best one you've done!
1:22:49 > 1:22:53Who're you bringing to the dance, Dig?
1:22:53 > 1:22:55Opal.
1:22:55 > 1:22:59Opal? I never heard of her. Must be one of your city girls.
1:22:59 > 1:23:03No, she lives on the other side of Beulah.
1:23:03 > 1:23:06I've known her since about... first grade.
1:23:06 > 1:23:10I always used to think she was kind of clunky.
1:23:10 > 1:23:13Then I met some of those city girls.
1:23:13 > 1:23:15Oh, you can have 'em!
1:23:17 > 1:23:19Gee, Dig,
1:23:19 > 1:23:21you liked the city, didn't you?
1:23:21 > 1:23:26It's like Pa always says. The city's all right for city folks.
1:23:26 > 1:23:30Second night I was there, I wished I was back in Beulah.
1:23:30 > 1:23:32Why?
1:23:32 > 1:23:37I was walking along the streets, and all these people were rushing by me.
1:23:37 > 1:23:41They looked like...like ants,
1:23:41 > 1:23:46and I could no more talk to one of them than I could talk to an ant.
1:23:48 > 1:23:50Well, it's great you're home.
1:23:50 > 1:23:55I guess you'll be wanting your job back, driving the truck.
1:23:55 > 1:24:02I got a good offer to work down at the sawmill, so the job's still yours.
1:24:02 > 1:24:04Gee, thanks!
1:24:04 > 1:24:05Well...
1:24:05 > 1:24:09we'd better be getting the rest of the stuff up here.
1:24:09 > 1:24:12The night before I left,
1:24:12 > 1:24:17I was talking to Pa about wanting to see the city lights, and the gals.
1:24:17 > 1:24:20Know what he said to me?
1:24:22 > 1:24:24Pa said,
1:24:24 > 1:24:27'Mid pleasures and palaces,
1:24:27 > 1:24:29wherever you may roam,
1:24:29 > 1:24:33be it ever so humble, there's no place like home.
1:24:33 > 1:24:37- He sang it? - No, he said it.
1:24:38 > 1:24:42He made it right up. You know, Gil,
1:24:42 > 1:24:46if Pa had felt like it, he'd have made a great poet.
1:24:57 > 1:24:59Peter!
1:24:59 > 1:25:01No!
1:25:01 > 1:25:05I just wanted to see what Mrs Hamilton looks like.
1:25:05 > 1:25:09Not till tonight at the ceremony, as we promised Osh.
1:25:09 > 1:25:15Where are those girls? We've a million things to do! Go and carve your pumpkin.
1:25:17 > 1:25:19I wish I was dead!
1:25:19 > 1:25:24- All right, Lally-Joy, why do you wish you were dead?- Look at it!
1:25:25 > 1:25:28- Oh, my goodness...- Lally-Joy!
1:25:28 > 1:25:30Where did you dig that up?
1:25:30 > 1:25:35Ma made it! I'll die if I have to wear it! It's not so bad.
1:25:35 > 1:25:39We'll make a few changes. It'll be all right.
1:25:39 > 1:25:42- Sure...- We don't need this!
1:25:42 > 1:25:46Right, get rid of these. That's too...
1:25:46 > 1:25:50My chest shows! Too bunchy here!
1:25:50 > 1:25:53- All right, out of it. - There's nothing to it!
1:25:53 > 1:25:56We'll just have to start all over again.
1:25:56 > 1:25:59My dress! What'll Ma say?
1:25:59 > 1:26:04Don't worry about the dress. It's what's inside that counts.
1:26:04 > 1:26:08- #- You must walk feminine, talk feminine
1:26:08 > 1:26:11- #- Smile and beguile feminine
1:26:11 > 1:26:14- #- Utilise your femininity
1:26:14 > 1:26:17- #- That's what every girl should know
1:26:17 > 1:26:21- #- If she wants to catch a beau..- #
1:26:21 > 1:26:23I just want Gilly!
1:26:25 > 1:26:28- #- Dance feminine, glance feminine
1:26:28 > 1:26:31- #- Act shy and sigh feminine
1:26:31 > 1:26:34- #- Complement his masculinity
1:26:34 > 1:26:37- #- That's what every girl should know
1:26:37 > 1:26:41- #- If she wants to catch a beau...- # - You're wobbling too much!
1:26:41 > 1:26:45# Let him do the talking
1:26:45 > 1:26:48# Men adore good listeners
1:26:48 > 1:26:54- #- Laugh, but not loudly - ha ha! If he should choose to tell a joke
1:26:54 > 1:26:57- #- Be radiant - But delicate
1:26:57 > 1:27:00# Memorise the rules of etiquette
1:27:00 > 1:27:03# Be demure, sweet and pure
1:27:03 > 1:27:06# Hide the real you
1:27:06 > 1:27:10# You must look feminine, dress feminine
1:27:10 > 1:27:13# You're at your best feminine
1:27:13 > 1:27:16# Emphasise your femininity
1:27:16 > 1:27:19# That's what every girl should know
1:27:19 > 1:27:22# Femininity, femininity
1:27:22 > 1:27:26# That's the way to catch a beau Dum-da-da-da... #

1:27:37 > 1:27:41# ..Dance feminine, one, two, three... #
1:27:41 > 1:27:45Feet together! Watch your feet. You're not a duck!
1:27:47 > 1:27:51- Gilly, look where you're going! - I'm sorry.
1:27:51 > 1:27:56- I thought you were my brother. - I hope I'm not intruding on anything.
1:27:56 > 1:28:04No. No. You see, we're having a party tonight in the barn. Paying a tribute to Mr Hamilton's mother.
1:28:04 > 1:28:10- Oh.- It's the least we can do. He does own the place.- Oh, he does?
1:28:10 > 1:28:16Mmm. But you should have seen the mess before we took over.
1:28:16 > 1:28:18Took over?
1:28:18 > 1:28:23From Mr Hamilton. He gave us carte blanche, so this is a housewarming.
1:28:23 > 1:28:28- A huge affair. Everyone's coming. - Nancy!- Right there, Mother!
1:28:28 > 1:28:30Well, I mustn't keep you.
1:28:30 > 1:28:36- I don't suppose you're stopping over in Beulah.- Well, I hadn't...
1:28:36 > 1:28:39- It's just a little town.- Nancy!
1:28:39 > 1:28:42Someone's calling you. Careful of the wheel!
1:28:50 > 1:28:55It's open house tonight. Terribly open, to anyone who wants to come.
1:28:55 > 1:29:01- Friends, acquaintances, strangers... - Interesting. Have fun. Bye.- Bye!
1:29:09 > 1:29:11Nancy!
1:29:11 > 1:29:14We're waiting for all those things!
1:29:38 > 1:29:41- CLEARS THROAT - Be with you in a minute.
1:29:41 > 1:29:46- Quite all right, thank you. - Important letter to a friend.
1:29:46 > 1:29:51Rich property owner here. He lives in China.
1:29:53 > 1:29:56Leaves me in complete charge of his affairs.
1:29:56 > 1:29:59Big responsibility.
1:29:59 > 1:30:02I must get this off to Mr Hamilton.
1:30:02 > 1:30:04Then I'll take it.
1:30:07 > 1:30:13Tom Hamilton! Why...I didn't know you for a minute!
1:30:15 > 1:30:19Didn't know you was coming back. Gave me quite a shock.
1:30:19 > 1:30:25- Right.- Um...I just drove by the yellow house. There's some people out there.
1:30:25 > 1:30:30- Lovely folks named Carey live there. - How long have they been there?
1:30:30 > 1:30:39- Well, not long... Wonderful folks. They put in a new pump...- Who gave them permission to live there?
1:30:39 > 1:30:41Uh... You did.
1:30:41 > 1:30:43I did?
1:30:43 > 1:30:48- I've never heard of 'em. Why didn't you write?- Well, I did!
1:30:51 > 1:30:58Yes, sir, I did. I wrote you every week and kept you abreast of what was happening.
1:30:58 > 1:31:02- I didn't get any letters. - That's right. I didn't mail 'em.
1:31:03 > 1:31:06Popham, what's going on?
1:31:06 > 1:31:08Now, just hear me out.
1:31:08 > 1:31:15I didn't know how you would take it. These nice folks needed a house, and...
1:31:15 > 1:31:20they fell plumb in love with yours and I let them have it.
1:31:20 > 1:31:23I wrote to you all about it.
1:31:23 > 1:31:27Put 'em up here, where Maria wasn't likely to look.
1:31:28 > 1:31:32Here they are, the lot of 'em.
1:31:32 > 1:31:37The ones I wrote and the ones Nancy Carey wrote to you. Hers are on top.
1:31:37 > 1:31:42I wrote because Maria was a nag and made me get your permission.
1:31:42 > 1:31:46Nancy wrote hers from a grateful young heart.
1:31:46 > 1:31:50I hope you read hers before you make up your mind what to do.
1:32:11 > 1:32:14Who was that, Mr Popham?
1:32:14 > 1:32:19Maria, for once in your life, pray for a silver lining.
1:32:19 > 1:32:22CAR STARTS UP
1:32:24 > 1:32:27MUSIC AND LAUGHTER
1:32:28 > 1:32:31Mother, must I?
1:32:31 > 1:32:38(Yes. Osh has been our true friend and he was very pleased you were going to be Lally-Joy's partner.)
1:32:38 > 1:32:41Lally-Joy! Gilly's waiting!
1:32:44 > 1:32:48- Remember, now. Walk feminine. - Talk feminine.
1:32:48 > 1:32:50Go on!
1:33:21 > 1:33:23Good evening, Gilly!
1:33:30 > 1:33:33Good evening, Mr Bryant! Lally-Joy!
1:33:34 > 1:33:37- Evening, Charles.- Mrs Carey.
1:33:37 > 1:33:41- Won't you come in? - Charles! How's my hair?- Fine.
1:33:41 > 1:33:46- How do I look?- Fine. You said you should keep a man waiting.- Did I?
1:33:46 > 1:33:50Oh, Nancy, you'll understand some day.
1:33:50 > 1:33:52You've got plenty of time.
1:34:00 > 1:34:03I didn't think you'd be ready.
1:34:03 > 1:34:06I'll never keep YOU waiting, Charles.

1:34:19 > 1:34:22DIGBY: Hi, Julia.
1:34:22 > 1:34:25This is Opal. This is Julia, and Mr Bryant.
1:34:25 > 1:34:28 How do you do? Hello.
1:34:28 > 1:34:32No use standing around out here. The party's inside.
1:34:38 > 1:34:41- KNOCK-KNOCK - Nancy!
1:34:41 > 1:34:47- Everybody's at the barn.- I told you these slippers'd be too big!
1:34:47 > 1:34:49Well, I hoped you'd grow into them.
1:34:49 > 1:34:53Oh, Mother, you still think of me as a child.
1:34:53 > 1:34:55I suppose I do.
1:34:55 > 1:34:58Anyway, your guests are waiting.
1:34:58 > 1:35:02Fine little fixer I am. Everybody has somebody.
1:35:02 > 1:35:06Not me, though. Not me...er...not I.
1:35:06 > 1:35:10- There are plenty of young people. You can join them.- Join?
1:35:10 > 1:35:16It isn't the same thing. I wouldn't have minded a year ago, or a month.
1:35:16 > 1:35:18But...
1:35:18 > 1:35:23I don't know. Somehow I just have a different feeling, that's all.
1:35:23 > 1:35:27If you don't want to go in alone, I'll send Gilly over.
1:35:27 > 1:35:33Mother! He's a relative. I couldn't go into the ballroom with a relative!
1:35:33 > 1:35:37No, I must go alone. I must do it alone.
1:35:37 > 1:35:44- If you're sure... - Florence Nightingale in the Crimea. Joan of Arc, Maid of Orleans.
1:35:44 > 1:35:47Mrs Pankhurst. Votes for women!
1:35:47 > 1:35:51Don't take too long deciding which one you want to be.
1:35:54 > 1:35:56Chin up!
1:35:56 > 1:35:59Smiling, the boy fell dead.
1:35:59 > 1:36:02Boy? Oh, no, never!
1:36:02 > 1:36:08- I'd much rather... - #- Walk feminine, talk feminine
1:36:08 > 1:36:11- #- Smile and beguile feminine..- #
1:36:39 > 1:36:42Oh, allow me, please.
1:36:46 > 1:36:49I brought along a friend of mine.
1:36:49 > 1:36:53- Nancy, I don't think you know Tom...- We've met.
1:36:54 > 1:36:58I decided I couldn't afford to miss this party.
1:36:58 > 1:37:02Should be a very, um...interesting evening.
1:37:03 > 1:37:09Well, to think you know Osh Popham, the most remarkable human being!
1:37:09 > 1:37:14You know, if it hadn't been for him, we wouldn't be in this lovely house.
1:37:14 > 1:37:19- I don't think Mr Popham told me the whole story.- He's so modest!
1:37:19 > 1:37:22So I'll start at the beginning.
1:37:23 > 1:37:27Where was I? Oh, yes, I remember...
1:37:27 > 1:37:33It was Osh, Osh, Osh, from the very start. From the moment we arrived...

1:38:01 > 1:38:04Evenin', cousin!
1:38:04 > 1:38:08Say! You're looking worse than I ever seen you!
1:38:08 > 1:38:13- I am worse. I'm horrible.- That's not a fit mood to be in for a party!
1:38:13 > 1:38:16I've got some nice applejack here.
1:38:16 > 1:38:20This'll fix you up fine.
1:38:22 > 1:38:25Take a swig of this.
1:38:26 > 1:38:31Pull you right out of yourself. Here's to the state of Maine!
1:38:31 > 1:38:33APPLAUSE AS MUSIC FINISHES
1:38:33 > 1:38:36Good evening!
1:38:36 > 1:38:39Nice to have you with us.

1:38:42 > 1:38:45Oh, there's dear Osh!
1:38:45 > 1:38:51Who's she with? I don't know. City fella.
1:38:52 > 1:38:56It's time for Mother to start the ceremonies.
1:38:57 > 1:38:59Oh, yes - the ceremonies.
1:38:59 > 1:39:05- Won't amount to much. Be kinda dull. Like to go out for a smoke?- No.
1:39:05 > 1:39:08I'm sure that I'll enjoy them.
1:39:10 > 1:39:14FANFARE
1:39:14 > 1:39:16Will you gather closer, please?
1:39:21 > 1:39:24Friends and neighbours, as you know,
1:39:24 > 1:39:28the Carey family would not be living in the yellow house
1:39:28 > 1:39:32were it not for the generosity of Mr Thomas Hamilton.
1:39:32 > 1:39:35He has made but one modest request,
1:39:35 > 1:39:40that we hang the portrait of his beloved mother in a place of honour.
1:39:40 > 1:39:43APPLAUSE
1:39:45 > 1:39:48- Mr Popham!- Maria. Don't say it!
1:39:48 > 1:39:53- You look near to apoplexy. - Mr Popham!
1:39:53 > 1:39:58Calm yourself. Here, drink this. Then I'll listen to you.
1:40:05 > 1:40:12And now may I present my daughter, Nancy, who'll unveil this lovely portrait.
1:40:15 > 1:40:17- Where's Peter?- I won't!
1:40:17 > 1:40:20PETER SCREAMS
1:40:22 > 1:40:24I won't!
1:40:29 > 1:40:32Mr Hamilton, wherever you may be,
1:40:32 > 1:40:36ankle-deep in rice paddies or splendid in a gay rickshaw,
1:40:36 > 1:40:40delirious with fever or sated with Oriental dances,
1:40:40 > 1:40:43we know your heart is with us now.
1:40:43 > 1:40:45 Amen.
1:40:48 > 1:40:52Tonight, we are unveiling your mother, as per your request.
1:40:52 > 1:40:56She's been hidden in the oven for many years.
1:40:56 > 1:40:59In the oven? His mother?
1:40:59 > 1:41:04Of course, we're not going to keep her hanging in the barn.
1:41:04 > 1:41:09We'll find a place where she'll always be enshrined in our hearts.
1:41:09 > 1:41:16No doubt some of you have heard me kidding about old Mr Hamilton, calling him the Yellow Peril.
1:41:16 > 1:41:19That was only because I thought
1:41:19 > 1:41:26that maybe the old gentleman might return and snatch the yellow house away from us.
1:41:26 > 1:41:27Peter.
1:41:31 > 1:41:35To light these candles, I give you a twig of rosemary,
1:41:35 > 1:41:38for remembrance.
1:41:44 > 1:41:47This is a very special mother.
1:41:47 > 1:41:51Ladies and gentlemen, dear friends, Mr Hamilton's mother!
1:42:02 > 1:42:06She was a good woman. APPLAUSE
1:42:20 > 1:42:23Where did you dig up that thing?
1:42:23 > 1:42:26I forgot to ask. How IS your mother?
1:42:26 > 1:42:31Fine, on the Riviera. She wouldn't live in Beulah if you gave it to her.
1:42:31 > 1:42:35That's why Father left the yellow house to me.
1:42:38 > 1:42:42- What are you going to do? - I'll see you later.
1:42:50 > 1:42:54- There you are! Did you enjoy the ceremony?- Sort of.
1:42:54 > 1:42:58- Her face was a shock. - It was a bit of a shock to me too.
1:42:58 > 1:43:02- I'm sure she has a heart of gold, Mr...- I'm sure.
1:43:02 > 1:43:06- I don't know your name...- Hamilton.
1:43:06 > 1:43:08- Tom Hamilton.- Hamilton.
1:43:08 > 1:43:11That's a familiar-sounding name.
1:43:12 > 1:43:14TOM Hamilton.
1:43:14 > 1:43:17Tom...Hamilton.
1:43:17 > 1:43:19Any relation to...?
1:43:20 > 1:43:22Close?
1:43:22 > 1:43:25Very close.
1:43:26 > 1:43:30Not our Mr Hamilton? Not the Yellow Peril Hamilton?
1:43:30 > 1:43:33I think YOU look more like a Yellow Peril.
1:43:33 > 1:43:36What are you going to do to me?
1:43:36 > 1:43:39Right now? Dance with you.
1:43:43 > 1:43:46- And don't talk.- Wasn't going to!
1:43:51 > 1:43:56Well, Maria, looks like that black cloud has its silver lining!
1:43:56 > 1:44:02Didn't I tell you everything always turns out all right in the end?
