0:01:34 > 0:01:37KNOCK AT DOOR
0:01:37 > 0:01:40Breakfast, Mr Smith. >
0:02:33 > 0:02:37- What are they doing?- She's under the bedclothes and he's playing cards.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41- You didn't look through the keyhole? - You can't see anything anyway. I only listened.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45PHONE RINGS
0:02:45 > 0:02:48Smith residence. No, they haven't come out yet.
0:02:48 > 0:02:54They just opened the door for breakfast but didn't let out any dishes. I'm running out of dishes!
0:02:54 > 0:03:00They've been in there three days already. What's the longest they've kept this thing up?
0:03:00 > 0:03:04Eight? Has Sammy gotten there yet?
0:03:04 > 0:03:07He just came in. (It's Mr Custer.)
0:03:07 > 0:03:09Yes, Mr Custer?
0:03:09 > 0:03:14Listen, Sammy, that paper's gotta be signed. Don't leave until it is.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16I'm depending on you.
0:03:16 > 0:03:22I'll come back with it signed, Mr Custer. Take me to their room.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34Mr Smith? It's Sammy from the office.
0:03:34 > 0:03:38Mr Custer says you'll have to sign this. >
0:03:38 > 0:03:41(Push it under the door!)
0:03:41 > 0:03:44I'm putting it under the door.
0:03:49 > 0:03:56- You've signed it in pencil. - Haven't got any ink.- It's no good in pencil.- Go over it with a pen.
0:03:56 > 0:04:00- But that's forgery!- No, it isn't. Anyway, nobody would know.
0:04:00 > 0:04:06But I take my Bar exam next June. I could get into trouble.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09Give me a pen.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17Thank you, Mr Smith.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04- Thought I'd left, huh?- Mm.
0:05:04 > 0:05:09What would you do if I walked out that door? Leave me?
0:05:10 > 0:05:16- Forever?- As long as we live, we must never change that rule. - That's right.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20If every married couple had it, there'd never be a divorce. It should be in the wedding service.
0:05:20 > 0:05:24"You are not allowed to leave the bedroom after a quarrel unless you've made up."
0:05:24 > 0:05:25They'd have to make up.
0:05:25 > 0:05:29Most men can't stay away from the office three days at a crack.
0:05:29 > 0:05:34- Remember the 8-day session? And the six?- There were two sixes.- Two?
0:05:34 > 0:05:39One Christmas week and the other the weekend of the Yale game.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43That was really five and a half. We started in the afternoon.
0:05:43 > 0:05:48- How about some breakfast, my love? - Mm, yes.
0:05:48 > 0:05:52- We respect each other as persons. That's our trick.- Mm-huh.
0:05:52 > 0:05:57Man and woman, all right. But person to person is important in a marriage.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59- Mm.- Make like this.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05- I think we'd be friends if we were men OR women, don't you?- Mm-huh.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13Respect for each other as individuals, that's what counts.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16We must always tell the truth, no matter what the consequences.
0:06:16 > 0:06:20- If we told each other one lie, we'd have to admit we'd failed.- Mm.
0:06:20 > 0:06:24And what would we have left? A marriage like other people's.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28Doubt, distrust. Going on with each other because it's the easiest way.
0:06:31 > 0:06:35- Your barber's shaving you too close. Talk to him.- OK.
0:06:39 > 0:06:43- It was all my fault. - No, it was mine.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46- It was my fault, dear. - Mine, darling.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50I shouldn't be jealous so much and I should lay off your family.
0:06:50 > 0:06:56A wife should conduct herself to please her husband. That's one of my new rules.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00- Another one?- Mm-huh. What's the date today?
0:07:00 > 0:07:05- I'd better be running along. - Honey, not yet! Remember Rule 7.
0:07:05 > 0:07:09We gave it up. It got us in so much trouble.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13If we gave up one, we'd be giving up that much of our wonderful relationship.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15You wouldn't want me to feel that, would you?
0:07:15 > 0:07:22But those questions you ask each month. About my trip to Paris the year I graduated. I was only 21.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24I forgave you that.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28- HE SIGHS - Shoot.
0:07:31 > 0:07:35If you had it all to do over again, would you have married me?
0:07:37 > 0:07:39Honestly, no.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43Not that I want to be married to anyone else.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47But when a man marries, he gives up a certain amount of freedom and independence.
0:07:47 > 0:07:51If I had to do it all over again, I think I would stay single.
0:07:51 > 0:07:56You wanted me to answer truthfully because we respect each other. We're honest with each other.
0:07:56 > 0:08:01- Your feelings aren't hurt, are they? - It's perfectly all right.
0:08:01 > 0:08:06- Enough of that. I was getting into trouble.- I'm not angry in the least.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09Oh, yes you are. You don't understand.
0:08:09 > 0:08:14I was only answering a hypothetical question of what I would do if I had to do it all over again.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17David, if you want your freedom,
0:08:17 > 0:08:22I don't want to be the kind of a wife who clings to her husband when she's not wanted.
0:08:22 > 0:08:27Darling, I do want to be married to you. I love you. I worship you. I am used to you.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29How do we always get into these things?
0:08:29 > 0:08:32My only hold on you is that you're used to me?
0:08:32 > 0:08:37You've got the whole thing wrong. What would I do without you? You are my little girl...
0:08:40 > 0:08:43Now don't cry.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45Don't cry!
0:08:46 > 0:08:50Forgive me? Say you forgive me.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56Now can I go to work?
0:09:07 > 0:09:12- I'll come back early. And I mean early!- Don't work too hard, darling.
0:09:21 > 0:09:25- 'Morning.- Good morning, Mr Smith.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37- 'Morning, David.- 'Morning, Jeff.
0:09:39 > 0:09:46- You know how she is. You gotta humour her.- Don't apologise. I envy you. I wish I was in your shoes.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49Yes, she's a great kid.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52Certainly piles up, doesn't it?
0:09:52 > 0:09:56- What is it, Sunny?- There's a Mr Deever to see you. Says it's private.
0:09:56 > 0:10:02- Send him in.- I'll leave you to your miseries. What about lunch at the club, if you can make it?
0:10:02 > 0:10:05I'll try and make it.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08Mr Deever.
0:10:17 > 0:10:23- How do you do?- How do you do? - Er, won't you sit down?
0:10:30 > 0:10:32Er...
0:10:32 > 0:10:39- What can I do for you?- Were you married in Beecham in March 1937?
0:10:39 > 0:10:45- Yes, I was.- Well, Beecham is on the other side of the river.
0:10:45 > 0:10:53It was always incorporated in Brenda County. But Brenda County is in Idaho and so...well!
0:10:53 > 0:10:56You follow me, don't you?
0:10:56 > 0:11:04- Yes, yes.- Well, we in Beecham found out we had no right to be incorporated in Brenda County.
0:11:04 > 0:11:09On the other side of the river, we belong in Nevada.
0:11:09 > 0:11:13- Ye-es. Well, well, well.- Yes.
0:11:13 > 0:11:18We just found out that anybody who got married between 1936 and now
0:11:18 > 0:11:22with an Idaho licence in Nevada... well, it isn't legal.
0:11:22 > 0:11:31- Isn't legal?- I don't want you to be frightened or upset or anything, but there's been a kind of a mistake.
0:11:31 > 0:11:35- You're not legally married. - What's that?
0:11:35 > 0:11:41You really are married and everything, but there's a little technicality.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45It's perfectly all right you understand.
0:11:45 > 0:11:51Common law and everything. But we figured in case of deaths
0:11:51 > 0:11:54and wills and births - you know, children -
0:11:54 > 0:12:02we figured it would be kinda better if everybody got married again, just to be on the safe side.
0:12:02 > 0:12:07The Chamber of Commerce is sending me round everyone to tell them.
0:12:07 > 0:12:14Here's your 2 back and you can use it to get another licence.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18Kinda funny, isn't it?!
0:12:18 > 0:12:23Yeah. I've been doing this two weeks now just in New York.
0:12:23 > 0:12:30- A lot of couples came to New York. I had a hard time locating them. - Yeah.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34Well, I guess I'll be going now, Mr Smith.
0:12:34 > 0:12:41- I hope you don't hold this against Beecham. It really wasn't our fault. - No, not at all.
0:12:43 > 0:12:51- Is that your wife?- Uh-huh.- Was she Annie Krausheimer?- Yes, she lived right across from Beecham.
0:12:51 > 0:12:59- Did you know her?- Know her?! When she was this high, she and my kid sister played all the time.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02I remember like it was yesterday.
0:13:02 > 0:13:09- I can't get over that. I guess she's changed some, huh? - She's changed a little.
0:13:09 > 0:13:16- She once chased a dog-catcher half a mile with a baseball bat.- She hasn't changed as much as you'd think.
0:13:16 > 0:13:23- Sure is a fine-looking woman. Tell her I was asking for her. Old Harry Deever.- Indeed I will.
0:13:23 > 0:13:31- Goodbye, Mr Smith.- Goodbye. You can find your way out?- Yes, thank you. DOOR SHUTS
0:13:36 > 0:13:40- 'Yes, Mr Smith?' - Get me my home.
0:14:03 > 0:14:07- PHONE BUZZES - Hello.
0:14:07 > 0:14:11Hello, dear. Yes, darling?
0:14:11 > 0:14:16Where do you think I'm going to take you for dinner tonight?
0:14:18 > 0:14:22No. No.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24No. Momma Lucy's.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28Honey! I didn't even think you remembered the name of the place.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32We haven't been there since before we were married.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35I love you.
0:14:35 > 0:14:39You want to pick me up here about six?
0:14:39 > 0:14:42Goodbye, darling.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11Oh, driver, I'll get off here.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15- I must be going.- All right, Mother.
0:15:15 > 0:15:21- Mr Harry Deever. He says he's from Beecham.- Oh, show him in.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24- Harry Deever!- Bertha's brother!
0:15:24 > 0:15:32- Why, Harry, what a surprise. - Hello, Annie...Mrs Krausheimer. I didn't know if you'd remember me.
0:15:32 > 0:15:38- What are you doing here?- I'm on business.- How's Bertha?- She's fine.
0:15:38 > 0:15:43- She's got four children now - all girls.- Good for Bertha!
0:15:43 > 0:15:48- Sit down. Will you have some tea? - No, thanks, I got a lot to do. Only dropped in for a second.
0:15:48 > 0:15:53Certainly makes me feel good to meet somebody from our neck of the woods.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56This is quite a city. Every night's Saturday!
0:15:56 > 0:16:04You haven't changed a bit from the little girl I knew. I'd have recognised you in a minute.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06What a nice thing to say!
0:16:06 > 0:16:12I saw your picture on your husband's desk and recognised you right off.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15- He's a good looking fellow. - What were you doing with David?
0:16:15 > 0:16:20Well...you know, Beecham is on the other side of the river.
0:16:20 > 0:16:24It was incorporated in Brenda County...
0:16:24 > 0:16:28..between 1936 and now, you're not legally married.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30That's terrible!
0:16:30 > 0:16:36Oh, it's nothing. I gave your husband his 2 back and you don't lose a cent on the whole thing.
0:16:36 > 0:16:40- You just get married again. - I should hope so!
0:16:40 > 0:16:44- Mother, don't get excited. - It's really nothing.
0:16:44 > 0:16:50- But how does it look?- David will do all right by me.- How do you know?
0:16:50 > 0:16:58- Because he's booked dinner at Momma Lucy's. He'll marry me tonight.- I hope so.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00Can I drive you somewhere?
0:17:00 > 0:17:03Thanks, Mrs Krausheimer. I'd appreciate it.
0:17:03 > 0:17:08- Give my love to Bertha and those four girls.- Thanks. Goodbye.
0:17:08 > 0:17:12- I do hope everything will be all right.- What are you talking about?
0:17:12 > 0:17:15You call me up if anything...er, nothing happens.
0:17:15 > 0:17:19- Don't worry, darling. - Goodbye.- Goodbye.
0:17:19 > 0:17:26- Lily, you know the little black suit that's in the closet? - Yes, ma'am.
0:17:26 > 0:17:31I was married in that suit and I want to wear it tonight. Isn't that wonderful?
0:17:31 > 0:17:34- Well, you know that better than I do, ma'am.- Well, get it, Lily!
0:17:34 > 0:17:38Inhale, Mrs Smith. Inhale.
0:17:38 > 0:17:42I can't understand anything hanging in the closet shrinking so much.
0:17:47 > 0:17:51- Hello, Mrs Smith. Mrs Smith's here. - Hello, darling.
0:17:55 > 0:18:00I thought you weren't going to buy any more new clothes. You look cute.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03I can't wait to see Momma Lucy.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06- Do you think we'll get the same table?- Sure.
0:18:06 > 0:18:12It'll have a chequered cloth and a candle in a Chianti bottle. And Rosa, the fortune-teller.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15Do you know, I even love the smell of the place.
0:18:23 > 0:18:30- Either our noses have changed or they've built a livery stable round here.- It's not exactly Chanel 5(!)
0:18:30 > 0:18:32Let's go in.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59The place has changed a little.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02Customers!
0:19:09 > 0:19:11Is Momma Lucy here?
0:19:11 > 0:19:14I'm Momma Lucy.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19You've changed a little, too.
0:19:19 > 0:19:23- She went back to the old country. - Wait. We'd like to eat here.
0:19:23 > 0:19:28- You want to eat here? - If you've no objections.
0:19:28 > 0:19:33Not if you haven't. Where you like to sit?
0:19:33 > 0:19:39We used to have a table outside. Would that be too much trouble?
0:19:39 > 0:19:44- Are you going to have a 45 cent or a 65 cent dinner?- 65.- OK.
0:19:56 > 0:20:01The tablecloth is dirty enough so it looks chequered.
0:20:01 > 0:20:06A candle stuck in a beer bottle isn't the same, is it?
0:20:11 > 0:20:19- Haven't they ever seen anybody eat before?- Let's just outstare them. That'll make them embarrassed.
0:20:24 > 0:20:32- Eat your soup.- There's something wrong with it.- You're imagining it. - Why doesn't the cat eat it?
0:20:32 > 0:20:37- Animals know what's good for them. You notice he ate the olives. - The pits, too.- That's roughage.
0:20:37 > 0:20:43- Make the best of it, darling. Don't let it spoil our evening. - That cat knows something.
0:20:43 > 0:20:48- Where shall we go after this?- Home.
0:20:48 > 0:20:53Home? Aren't we supposed to go someplace before we go home?
0:20:55 > 0:20:58It would make it too late.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04I'd give 5 to see that cat take a sip of that soup.
0:21:04 > 0:21:08- David?- Yes, dear.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11Tell me what you do at a day in the office. Just a day like today.
0:21:11 > 0:21:15From the time you came in until you went home, what happened?
0:21:15 > 0:21:20Oh... It's duller than dish-water, really.
0:21:20 > 0:21:25No, I'm very interested. What went on? Who did you see?
0:21:25 > 0:21:32- Please try and remember.- Let me see. Oh, yes. Some sucker came in and wanted his alimony reduced.
0:21:32 > 0:21:37Another guy wanted me to rub out a name in his will.
0:21:37 > 0:21:44That's about all. I spent most of the day meeting with Jeff. Things pile up in three days.
0:21:46 > 0:21:51I wonder if he'll take a little soup. Come on.
0:21:51 > 0:21:55No. No, he won't!
0:21:55 > 0:21:59Doesn't that mean something? I want a stomach-pump!
0:21:59 > 0:22:02Nice cat, huh?
0:22:02 > 0:22:08- Yeah.- I'm unlucky with cats here. It's the third cat this week.
0:22:08 > 0:22:13They get run over....I think. Your name Mrs Smith?
0:22:13 > 0:22:18- How did you know? - Your mother is in the kitchen.
0:22:18 > 0:22:23- On the phone.- It must be about our Red Cross group.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36Hello, Mother.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41(Not exactly.)
0:22:41 > 0:22:46(He's teasing me. Thinks he's being romantic about it.)
0:22:48 > 0:22:49Mother, are you crying?
0:22:49 > 0:22:57Oh, my poor baby! Thank heaven your father is dead. Under no conditions are you t-to...
0:22:57 > 0:23:00Why, Mother, of course not!
0:23:04 > 0:23:09Yes, Mother, if necessary I'll spend the night with you.
0:23:09 > 0:23:13Goodnight, my love. Goodnight.
0:23:25 > 0:23:29- Everything all right?- Yes.
0:23:29 > 0:23:33- I have a little secret to tell you. - About time! What is it, dear?
0:23:33 > 0:23:36You're a great kid.
0:23:39 > 0:23:44It's getting rather late if we have to go any place, if you know what I mean.
0:23:44 > 0:23:48I get it. Waiter, check!
0:23:56 > 0:24:01- Glasses, dear.- Glasses?- You don't want to drink out the bottle?!
0:24:15 > 0:24:19WHISTLES CHEERFULLY
0:24:31 > 0:24:34Get going, Annie!
0:24:41 > 0:24:44Keep twirling it, honey.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41CRASH
0:25:41 > 0:25:43You beast! You know we're not married.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46- You were never going to tell me! - I was going to tell you later.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49How much later? You'd wait until...
0:25:49 > 0:25:55- Annie!- ..and then throw me aside like a squeezed lemon.- Annie!- I've given you the best years of my life.
0:25:55 > 0:26:00I've always had a suspicion about you. So did Mother. Your forehead slants back too much.
0:26:00 > 0:26:06- Will you please...?- Don't touch me! - Annie!- Get out of here! You're not staying here.
0:26:06 > 0:26:10- We can't leave the bedroom until after we've made up. - You're not in it. Get out.- Annie!
0:26:10 > 0:26:14- I know you for what you are. Lucky I found you out. - Those are my clothes!
0:26:14 > 0:26:18- I never want to see you again as long as I live.- What are you doing?!
0:26:40 > 0:26:47- Good evening, Mr Smith.- 'Evening, Thomas. Have you a room for a member who pays his dues?- I'm sure we have.
0:26:47 > 0:26:52Quite a novelty seeing you, sir. Don't remember you staying overnight in three years.
0:27:05 > 0:27:10- Hey, look out!- Are you hurt? - Hello, Smith.- Hello.
0:27:10 > 0:27:14Chuck Benson. Remember me from the golf tournament?
0:27:14 > 0:27:17- Yeah. How are you? - Fine. How are you?
0:27:17 > 0:27:21I've got a crick in my neck and I thought this might work it out.
0:27:21 > 0:27:27- I had a fight with my wife, too. - It wasn't exactly a fight. - You know what I can't understand?
0:27:27 > 0:27:33Wives normally go home to their mothers, but mine makes me get out.
0:27:33 > 0:27:39- How do you get back? - The simplest thing in the world.
0:27:39 > 0:27:44Ignore it. The next day they're dyin' to see you. I know, brother.
0:27:44 > 0:27:48Yeah, you're right.
0:27:48 > 0:27:52Just go to the office, don't even telephone.
0:27:52 > 0:27:56She worries. Why don't I come back?
0:27:56 > 0:27:59And when I DO get back, why...!
0:28:02 > 0:28:05- Thank you, Joe.- Sir.
0:28:19 > 0:28:25- What can I do for you?- What's this? - A chain to keep people out.- Open up!
0:28:25 > 0:28:29- Miss Krausheimer's not at home. - I'm going to come in and wait.
0:28:29 > 0:28:34- Open up or I'll fire you.- You won't. I was the midwife at Annie's birth.
0:28:34 > 0:28:38I know what you've done. All I can say of what she's done is it's about time.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40Hey, what about my pen?!
0:29:02 > 0:29:08- Thank you for a wonderful evening. - I'll take you up.- No, no. I had a wonderful time.- I did too.
0:29:08 > 0:29:11- Goodnight.- Goodnight. Oh, no, Mr Flugel.
0:29:11 > 0:29:15- Well, they can't rule you out for trying.- That's right. Goodnight.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18Better luck next time! Goodnight.
0:29:41 > 0:29:44Open that door! I know you're in there.
0:29:44 > 0:29:49I saw you downstairs with that old goat. Open up! I'm not gonna stand for this!
0:29:49 > 0:29:52There's your pen!
0:29:54 > 0:29:57Annie, you open that door!
0:30:06 > 0:30:11When they come back a second night, things are bad.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26Go on! Go on!
0:30:26 > 0:30:32- Now!- What?- Are you gonna stop this farce? I've got a lot of work piled up.
0:30:32 > 0:30:37I've just been through a three-day session of this nonsense. I haven't any more time for your games.
0:30:37 > 0:30:40You can come home now and I'm willing not to discuss it any more.
0:30:40 > 0:30:46- Who do you think you're talking to? - My wife.- We're not married.- Are you out of your mind? We are married!
0:30:46 > 0:30:51- What do you mean, after three years we're not married?- Legally we're not married.
0:30:51 > 0:30:57- All right, we'll get married. Does that satisfy you? - That's a nice snarling proposal(!)
0:30:57 > 0:31:02You had a hard job getting me to marry you before and I didn't know you. I do now and how I know you.
0:31:02 > 0:31:06- If anyone asks you, you're no bargain!- What's the matter with me?
0:31:06 > 0:31:12- I don't want this discussion to run into hours. I'm very busy.- Name one thing about me you don't like.
0:31:12 > 0:31:17- One thing?! My, aren't we vain(!) - I am not vain.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20What about that tar stuff you keep rubbing in your hair?
0:31:20 > 0:31:24I am only trying to save my hair for you.
0:31:24 > 0:31:32- And what about your hair clips? You turned over one night and cut me in 20 places.- It won't happen again.
0:31:32 > 0:31:37- I'm not going to stand for this! That's my final word on the matter. - Nice to have met you.
0:31:39 > 0:31:44I'm not gonna support you. What do you think of that?
0:31:44 > 0:31:49- Fine.- No, I mean it! You won't get any more money.- Who asked you?
0:31:52 > 0:31:56- I want you to know that I'm doing this reluctantly.- Suits me. Keep the change.
0:31:56 > 0:32:02You're not being very practical. How do you think you're going to live? Huh?
0:32:02 > 0:32:06- Good morning.- 'Morning. Hey, no entry, bud.
0:32:34 > 0:32:40- Are you looking for something?- Yes. - Can I help?- You take this aisle here... No, I'll find it myself.
0:32:40 > 0:32:45- I may be able to save you a lot of trouble.- No, it's all right.
0:32:45 > 0:32:49- Something in ladies' lingerie? - Yes, that's right.
0:32:49 > 0:32:54- That's over...- Don't tell me! It's a game I'm playing. - It's perfectly all right.
0:33:06 > 0:33:11- I see you. You might as well come up.- Anything I can do for you, sir?
0:33:11 > 0:33:16Are you crazy? Will you just come home? I'm supposed to be in court today.
0:33:16 > 0:33:19I'm sorry, sir, we have nothing here for you.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22Are you going to come out peacefully or will I have to carry you out?
0:33:22 > 0:33:29- The most wonderful feature of these is you don't have to launder them. Just throw them away.- That suits me!
0:33:29 > 0:33:32Oh, no!
0:33:32 > 0:33:40- Miss Krausheimer, what are you doing to the customer?- Look who's got who! - Release our sales clerk.- Make me!
0:33:40 > 0:33:43I'll be happy to get you another sales clerk.
0:33:43 > 0:33:47- I'm please with her, but she's no clerk. She's my wife. - Your wife?!- I am not!
0:33:47 > 0:33:53We understood you were single. As a need to the unemployment crisis, we do not employ married women.
0:33:53 > 0:33:56- And quite right, too! - I am not married!- She is!
0:33:56 > 0:34:02- We'll have to take this to the head of the firm.- Fine.- Let's all go. - This way please.
0:34:14 > 0:34:15Oh!
0:34:15 > 0:34:23- This gentleman says he is married to Miss Krausheimer.- He's not! - We do not employ married women.
0:34:23 > 0:34:27- I told her that.- We are not married. - Where did you meet this monkey?
0:34:27 > 0:34:32- Sylvia introduced us.- That's the last time I want you to talk to Sylvia. I never liked her.
0:34:32 > 0:34:38- I am single.- What's an old goat doing, taking out innocent girls?
0:34:38 > 0:34:41- I'm not innocent!- She admits it, she's my wife.- No.
0:34:41 > 0:34:44- Are you referring to me as an old goat?!- Sit down.
0:34:44 > 0:34:47I'll get the store detectives.
0:34:54 > 0:34:59- Satisfied?- I have an appointment at the office. Will you make up with me?
0:34:59 > 0:35:06- No, not ever.- For heaven's sake! I did say if I had to do it again, I wouldn't marry you.
0:35:06 > 0:35:11But now I'm saying I want to do it again. Doesn't that convince you?
0:35:11 > 0:35:14Oh, I believe you want to get married again and I'm flattered.
0:35:14 > 0:35:17But I don't want to marry you. I'm not interested.
0:35:17 > 0:35:22- What's the matter with me? - I don't like your temper. You're jealous. You knock people down.
0:35:22 > 0:35:29- On New Year's Eve, that drunk had no right to pick up your garter and wave it around.- It wasn't mine!
0:35:29 > 0:35:37- You just borrowed Julie's garters. - They were mine!- They were Julie's! - How do you know?- They weren't yours.
0:35:37 > 0:35:40I don't know what you're selling, but do you have a licence to get this crowd around?
0:35:40 > 0:35:47- Run about your business!- Go on, knock him down!- I wouldn't advise your friend to strike an officer.
0:35:47 > 0:35:53- Officer, I don't even know this man. - Oh, you go this way. Beat it!
0:35:53 > 0:35:57- Come on, break it up. - You can't do this to me!
0:36:03 > 0:36:07- KNOCK - Come in.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09- Hello, David.- Hello.
0:36:09 > 0:36:18- I've set back the Duffy hearing and asked for a continuance against the street-car company.- Fine.
0:36:20 > 0:36:28- I'd like to ask you to do something, David.- I'll clear my work all right. I can't get my mind on it right now.
0:36:28 > 0:36:34- That's OK. You don't know what I'm going to ask you yet. - Anything you want.
0:36:34 > 0:36:39I'd like to have you drop in at your own home tonight. After dinner.
0:36:44 > 0:36:52- What do you mean?- I asked Ann to ask me to dinner. She's fond of me and she knows I'm fond of her.
0:36:52 > 0:36:59I think I can straighten this out. I hope it IS something I can straighten out.
0:36:59 > 0:37:07- Oh, it's nothing at all. A little marital quarrel.- Yes, you're too fine to do anything shoddy.
0:37:07 > 0:37:14I'd like to have you drop in unannounced at...shall we say nine o'clock?
0:37:14 > 0:37:16Jeff, I...!
0:37:18 > 0:37:22- That's all right.- You're the best friend a man ever had.
0:37:22 > 0:37:29- We're partners.- The best partner. - We were school chums.- You were the best full-back at Alabama!
0:37:32 > 0:37:36- Even Henkel couldn't touch you. - Thanks, David.
0:37:55 > 0:37:58- May I come in?- I'll see.
0:38:03 > 0:38:06It's all right.
0:38:08 > 0:38:10Hello, Ann.
0:38:15 > 0:38:21- I want you to talk to my lawyer. - Your lawyer?- Mm.- What lawyer?
0:38:21 > 0:38:28- Ann has asked me to represent her. - What for?- I told her she doesn't need a lawyer.- I'll say!
0:38:28 > 0:38:33As I understand it, you two aren't married at all.
0:38:33 > 0:38:37- There you are!- What?!- So there's nothing for the court to decide. - As in Peterson v. Peterson.
0:38:37 > 0:38:41- Jeff said they threw it out of the supreme court. - What's the mater with you?
0:38:41 > 0:38:47- He said you're lucky it isn't the south and I'm not his sister. - Why you hillbilly ambulance-chaser!
0:38:47 > 0:38:52- There's no need to lose our temper. - We're married, if not legally then by common law.
0:38:52 > 0:38:54- That's just as good, it's better. - True.
0:38:54 > 0:38:57Tell him the whole thing, Jeff.
0:38:57 > 0:39:02However, the woman is given the benefit of any difficulties arising.
0:39:02 > 0:39:07- Should you die, she'll have a share in your estate.- Great. When I die, she'll get the furniture.
0:39:07 > 0:39:10You're entitled to hold yourself forth as the husband.
0:39:10 > 0:39:14I am doing that. Tell me something I don't know.
0:39:14 > 0:39:19But should the woman care to marry someone else, she is entitled to do so.
0:39:19 > 0:39:23Peterson v. Peterson, Adams v. Kelly and Gimble v. New Pennsylvania Coal Company.
0:39:23 > 0:39:27You are supposed to be my best friend and you are telling her this.
0:39:27 > 0:39:34I would never take advantage of that, but as you're standing here...
0:39:34 > 0:39:38- Would you dine with me tomorrow?- Where?- Come to your senses and marry me tomorrow.
0:39:38 > 0:39:42- If you have dinner with him, we're through!- What time?
0:39:42 > 0:39:50- We're through. From now on, we're just friends.- That's not necessary. The Florida Club?- Anywhere you say.
0:39:53 > 0:39:55Well...
0:40:01 > 0:40:06- I'll call for you at 8pm.- Fine. Goodnight, Jeff.- Goodnight.
0:40:06 > 0:40:09- Goodnight, Ann.- Goodnight.
0:40:09 > 0:40:12- Goodnight.- Goodnight.
0:40:55 > 0:40:59Comparing yourself to Henkel as a football player!
0:40:59 > 0:41:02- You couldn't carry Henkel's water-bucket!- Goodnight, David.
0:41:19 > 0:41:22- ..Understand?- Yes, sir.
0:41:29 > 0:41:31Thanks.
0:41:31 > 0:41:36- Who is it?- Mrs Smith, could I see you for a moment?- Just a minute.
0:41:42 > 0:41:45Goodnight, dear. Your nose is bleeding.
0:41:50 > 0:41:56- You're sure that's good for a nose-bleed?- I always use it.
0:41:56 > 0:41:59But then I use it for everythin'.
0:42:03 > 0:42:06Oh, yeah! Oh, boy!
0:42:06 > 0:42:15- I guess I am a kind of a dummy. I shouldn't chase her. I should leave her alone for a week.- Yeah.
0:42:15 > 0:42:21- She's used to me. She can't get to sleep until I get home.- Mm.
0:42:21 > 0:42:26I'll have fun for a few nights. Play poker with the boys.
0:42:26 > 0:42:31- Gloria?- Oh, I thought there was a woman in here!
0:42:31 > 0:42:37Hiya, Gloria. ..Uh-huh. And I'm kissin' you back! Mm-mm!
0:42:37 > 0:42:43Jimmy? This is no Jimmy. This is Chucky.
0:42:43 > 0:42:46Been missin' your Chucky, honey?
0:42:46 > 0:42:50(She's a wonderful girl, society girl. Real class.)
0:42:50 > 0:42:59- How about tomorrow night? Attagirl! I got a friend. How about Gertrude? (You'll like Gertrude.)- Me?!
0:42:59 > 0:43:06- He's a society fella. Real class. (Did you see the girl in the Camel ads?- She looks like that?)
0:43:06 > 0:43:14Gertie? I've got a nice dinner date for you tomorrow, but he needs cheerin' up. Know what I mean?
0:43:14 > 0:43:17OK. (She wants to talk to you.)
0:43:20 > 0:43:22Hello.
0:43:24 > 0:43:28- She's kissing at me! - Kiss back at her.
0:43:28 > 0:43:32- I don't know her! - It's all for a laugh.
0:43:34 > 0:43:37Mm. Mm. Mm. Mm.
0:43:37 > 0:43:40It feels kinda silly.
0:43:42 > 0:43:48Huh? How do you know you're crazy about me?
0:43:48 > 0:43:54Oh. It's just an ordinary voice. I used to sing a little.
0:43:54 > 0:43:59Didn't I tell you? He's a great fella! 8pm? (What'll we make it?)
0:44:01 > 0:44:03The Florida Club.
0:44:03 > 0:44:07How about the Florida Club? OK, goodbye.
0:44:07 > 0:44:13- Wait till you see her! - What has Gertrude got to do with Camels?- She smokes 'em.
0:44:13 > 0:44:19- You mentioned the ads. - She's a dead ringer for that girl.
0:44:19 > 0:44:23- She likes my voice. - That isn't all she'll like!
0:44:24 > 0:44:28Yes, I'll take care of that, Mr Rondell. One minute.
0:44:28 > 0:44:33- Mr Chuck Benson's party? - Oh, yes, sir. Right this way.
0:44:33 > 0:44:35DANCE MUSIC
0:45:16 > 0:45:21- CHUCK:- Not there, Davey! Over here!
0:45:21 > 0:45:24Davey! The one and only!
0:45:24 > 0:45:29- Here he is, kids! - What's been keepin' you?- Hi.
0:45:29 > 0:45:35What's held you up? The girls have been waitin' for over an hour.
0:45:35 > 0:45:40- I-I've been a little busy at the office.- You work in an office?
0:45:40 > 0:45:44You keep your hands off Gloria. This is Gertie here!
0:45:44 > 0:45:47Girls, this is Davey Smith.
0:45:47 > 0:45:49- Hi.- How d'you do?
0:45:49 > 0:45:53- What're you havin' to drink?- Why don't ya try an Old-Fashioned?!- Yeah.
0:45:53 > 0:45:55Waiter, bring us another Old-Fashioned.
0:45:58 > 0:46:01Er, isn't it a little crowded in here?
0:46:01 > 0:46:05Couldn't we go someplace a little darker?
0:46:05 > 0:46:10We'll go to one of them romantic places later. We're eating first. Ever been here?
0:46:10 > 0:46:15- Yes, often. That's why I want to go somewhere darker.- I don't get it.
0:46:28 > 0:46:31It's awfully hot in here. I know a place that's very cool.
0:46:31 > 0:46:38- Don't rush it. Baby, with a couple more hours of this...! - I beg your pardon?
0:46:38 > 0:46:41- Your pheasant, madame. - Dish it out. I'm starved.
0:46:41 > 0:46:43Don't forget to take the feathers off!
0:46:52 > 0:46:55- David's here.- Yes, so I see.
0:46:55 > 0:46:58Who's he with, I wonder?
0:47:04 > 0:47:07So you want to wrestle, huh?
0:47:21 > 0:47:22MOUTHS SILENTLY
0:47:22 > 0:47:29- She's rather pretty. Do you know her?- No, I don't.
0:47:38 > 0:47:42- I want to dance.- Oh, fine.
0:47:58 > 0:48:00MOUTHS SILENTLY
0:48:12 > 0:48:16- You care to dance, dear?- Yes, indeed.
0:48:18 > 0:48:25- You're looking for trouble!- This pheasant is nothin' but chicken. Tough chicken, at that.
0:48:25 > 0:48:33- Three bucks for this! What a racket! - Gertie doesn't like the food here. We could go somewhere else.
0:48:33 > 0:48:36- It's gettin' better.- Relax!
0:48:36 > 0:48:45- We should have ordered chop-suey. - Don't you like pheasant?- No, I like chop-suey.- Pour some ketchup on it.
0:48:45 > 0:48:52- Waiter, bring us some ketchup! - I don't like ketchup. - Then scrape the gravy off.
0:48:52 > 0:48:58- We should have ordered chop-suey. - Just eat it up, then maybe Davey will invite us over to his house.
0:48:58 > 0:49:01- Yeah? Swell!- So eat it up.- All right.
0:50:13 > 0:50:16My nose is bleeding. I gotta go.
0:50:16 > 0:50:22- That's all right. I can stop a nose-bleed.- No!- Just lie down.
0:50:22 > 0:50:24Give me a hunk of ice.
0:50:24 > 0:50:29- No, no!- Just take it easy. I know how to stop it.
0:50:29 > 0:50:34- I used to fix two a night at the dance-hall.- Try a cold knife.- Yeah.
0:50:34 > 0:50:39- I-I...- Ssh! Waiter, put that chicken back on the stove.
0:50:39 > 0:50:43- Stand back!- Maybe he should have order chop-suey.
0:50:43 > 0:50:46I knew the way he was acting he was going to get punched.
0:50:46 > 0:50:51- Maybe he saw something to make him dizzy!- Come here.
0:50:51 > 0:50:57- Gimme another knife! This one's hot. - Just cut my throat with it.
0:50:58 > 0:51:04- If you're upset, I'll take you home. - Upset? Why? Because I saw David with Florence Nightingale?
0:51:04 > 0:51:10I don't care who holds a knife to him, although I'd certainly like the chance myself.
0:51:10 > 0:51:15Well, is there some place you'd like to go?
0:51:15 > 0:51:18Yes. I feel like staying up all night tonight.
0:51:18 > 0:51:22- I know. Let's go to the fair. - Good idea.
0:52:30 > 0:52:34I've never been so happy in all my life. Wonderful evening.
0:52:51 > 0:52:55It's wonderful. I'm so happy and carefree. It's...
0:52:55 > 0:52:59GRINDING CRUNCH
0:52:59 > 0:53:01Uh-oh!
0:53:06 > 0:53:11You know, they're being very clever. They're making believe we're stuck.
0:53:11 > 0:53:15We are stuck.
0:53:15 > 0:53:17That's what I thought.
0:53:22 > 0:53:26- Why don't they do something! - Keep calm, Ann, don't be frightened.
0:53:26 > 0:53:29It's much better to stay where we are.
0:53:51 > 0:53:55- You're soaked through.- It's nothing.
0:53:57 > 0:53:59Ah-choo!
0:53:59 > 0:54:03- You're catching cold! - It's only a little sniffle.
0:54:05 > 0:54:10- Ah-choo!- You know what David does if he sneezes twice in one evening?
0:54:10 > 0:54:16He goes to bed with four hot-water bottles, a quart of brandy and a red woollen cap over his head.
0:54:16 > 0:54:20You ought to see him in bed with that red woollen cap.
0:54:20 > 0:54:26- The moment we get down, we'll go to your apartment and get you into some dry clothes.- Mine?- Mm.
0:54:33 > 0:54:36Excuse me. Ah-choo!
0:54:43 > 0:54:50Oh, what a beautiful room! No wonder you've never gotten married.
0:54:50 > 0:54:55- Who did it for you?- I did it myself. Do you like the decor?
0:54:55 > 0:55:01- You did it?- Mm.- David couldn't even tell you the colour of our walls. He could be living in a tent.
0:55:03 > 0:55:08- Oh, it's the most tasteful man's bedroom I've ever seen.- Thank you.
0:55:08 > 0:55:14- What about your hair?- Don't worry. I'll dry it in front of the fire.
0:55:14 > 0:55:19Would you excuse me? I'm going to get into something more comfortable.
0:55:34 > 0:55:38Well, is that your idea of something more comfortable?!
0:55:38 > 0:55:41I only have one dinner coat.
0:55:41 > 0:55:48- You can't go out again in your condition!- But this is no fun for you.- Think about yourself!
0:55:48 > 0:55:53- You need a little medical attention.- Oh, I feel fine, Ann.
0:55:53 > 0:55:56A big swell of this, there'll be one less pneumonia case tomorrow.
0:55:56 > 0:56:01- There. Sit over there. - That's for me?- Yes, in one big gulp.
0:56:01 > 0:56:07- Oh, I don't drink liquor. I just keep it for David. And friends. - You don't drink?
0:56:07 > 0:56:14- I've never broken training. I eat four vegetables a day. - Really?
0:56:14 > 0:56:21When I was a young fellow, I went to a temperance lecture. I've never forgotten it.
0:56:21 > 0:56:26A drunk in the audience kept interrupting the lecturer.
0:56:26 > 0:56:32Finally, the lecturer invited him up and asked him to open one eye.
0:56:32 > 0:56:38He squirted an eye-dropper full of whisky into the man's eye. You never heard such hollering!
0:56:38 > 0:56:41His whole eye got inflamed
0:56:41 > 0:56:48and the lecturer pointed out that the lining in your stomach is the same composition as your eyeball.
0:56:48 > 0:56:53- I've never been able to forget that. - It's rather a dirty trick.
0:56:53 > 0:56:57Then the drunk left the hall,
0:56:57 > 0:57:02came back and asked the lecturer to open his eye.
0:57:02 > 0:57:08- Know what he did?- What?- He jammed a handful of corn crinkles in his eye
0:57:08 > 0:57:13- then said, "That's what corn crinkles do to your stomach." - Served him right!
0:57:15 > 0:57:20- Ah-choo!- This isn't alcohol, Jeff, it's medicine.
0:57:20 > 0:57:24Well, if you think I ought to...
0:57:24 > 0:57:27Yes, I do. One big gulp now.
0:57:38 > 0:57:42Don't you feel it? Doesn't it burn?
0:57:43 > 0:57:48No. I've tried this before and it's very interesting.
0:57:48 > 0:57:50I don't mind the taste of it.
0:57:50 > 0:57:56My metabolism must be very high. I'm not one of those strong, silent men who can hold their liquor.
0:57:56 > 0:58:01I never saw anyone hold it as well. I don't think one will do any good.
0:58:01 > 0:58:04I think another one would be a mistake.
0:58:04 > 0:58:08It's just medicine. It kills the germs.
0:58:08 > 0:58:10All in one gulp now.
0:58:10 > 0:58:12Your good health.
0:58:16 > 0:58:18What a constitution!
0:58:32 > 0:58:35Uh-oh!
0:58:37 > 0:58:38Hic!
0:58:38 > 0:58:43Maybe that second one was too much.
0:58:43 > 0:58:45Miss Ann...
0:58:48 > 0:58:53May I...beg your leave for a moment?
0:58:53 > 0:58:55Certainly.
0:59:13 > 0:59:17Jeff! Are you feeling all right?
0:59:20 > 0:59:24Now, you come right over here and sit down.
0:59:26 > 0:59:33- I wouldn't want to get bold.- We'll keep the table between us. Right over here. You sit right there.
0:59:35 > 0:59:38I'll sit right over here.
0:59:47 > 0:59:53My only fear is that I may not act like a gentleman.
0:59:53 > 0:59:57A man's true character comes out when he's had one drink too many.
0:59:57 > 1:00:00Want to know the basic difference between you and David?
1:00:00 > 1:00:03Give him one too many and he tilts forward at you.
1:00:03 > 1:00:08- You, Jeff, you lean backwards. - Thank you.
1:00:08 > 1:00:15I'll tell you something else. All evening, I've been waiting for one suspicious move from you.
1:00:15 > 1:00:20There isn't one man in a thousand who wouldn't try something, no matter how feint.
1:00:20 > 1:00:22And look how wonderfully you're acting.
1:00:22 > 1:00:24Thank you.
1:00:24 > 1:00:30The first time I went out with David, he ruined a brand-new 85 dress I had. It was awful.
1:00:30 > 1:00:36Didn't change the whole first year we were married. I used to think it was what he ate. I changed his diet.
1:00:36 > 1:00:39Thank you.
1:00:39 > 1:00:41I've had a wonderful evening, Jeff.
1:00:41 > 1:00:47I'm going to leave now. Get a good night's sleep and you'll feel better in the morning.
1:00:52 > 1:00:57- I intend taking you home. - Absolutely not.- Thank you.
1:00:57 > 1:01:00- Goodnight, Jeff.- Goodnight, Ann.
1:01:02 > 1:01:07- You probably want to kiss me and haven't got the nerve. - That's true.- You may.
1:01:09 > 1:01:13- I have a cold. - That's very considerate!
1:01:17 > 1:01:22- Thank you.- That's another difference between you and David. A cold's never stopped him.
1:01:22 > 1:01:27He had the measles once. How I didn't get the measles, I'll never know.
1:01:27 > 1:01:30- Goodnight, Jeff.- Goodnight, Ann.
1:01:41 > 1:01:43Here we go again!
1:01:49 > 1:01:54- I hope it's not to her mother's on Long Island again.- I don't think so.
1:01:54 > 1:01:59My wife don't like me doing this. It's like drivin' private. I don't get any freedom.
1:01:59 > 1:02:04- You're getting paid.- You owe me some more.- I gave you 20 day before yesterday.
1:02:04 > 1:02:08- You used that up two days ago. - I'll pay you later. Don't lose her.
1:02:08 > 1:02:13- How did you ever become a private eye?- It's in the family.
1:02:13 > 1:02:21- This must be costin' her husband a packet.- Mm.- And he won't catch her out. She's pretty foxy.- Oh, I dunno.
1:02:21 > 1:02:27- We should go to a show.- Huh?- She ain't up to nothin' this afternoon.
1:02:27 > 1:02:31- In the afternoons is when you catch them.- No kiddin'?!
1:02:31 > 1:02:37- That's funny.- What is?- Where does my wife go every afternoon?
1:02:37 > 1:02:40Hey, look. She's going to visit me!
1:02:54 > 1:02:58- Good morning. There's someone waiting in your office. - That's all right.
1:03:00 > 1:03:07- Well, Mr Smith, it's about time. - How do you do, Mr...? - You've even forgotten my name!
1:03:07 > 1:03:08I'm a client of yours.
1:03:08 > 1:03:15- I paid you 1,000 retainer fee to sue my brother-in-law. My name is Conway.- Of course!
1:03:15 > 1:03:22- Won't you sit down? - It's taken me all week to catch you. Where have you been?
1:03:22 > 1:03:27Relax, Mr Conley. We've got it all under control. I'll get the files.
1:03:27 > 1:03:31- My name is Con-WAY!- Yes. - I've been sleeping here so much I can't sleep at home.
1:03:31 > 1:03:38- Where did my wife go? - She's with Mr Custer. - And Mr Custer's parents.
1:03:38 > 1:03:46We're going to Lake Placid. We've always wanted a vacation in the snow. But there's two hours between trains.
1:03:46 > 1:03:50- Could you two join us?- Well, I...!
1:03:50 > 1:03:53- They're all in there?- Yes.
1:03:59 > 1:04:02But what about Mr Conway?
1:04:02 > 1:04:04Hello, Jeff...
1:04:06 > 1:04:09Oh, excuse me.
1:04:14 > 1:04:19About poor old Conway, his brother-in-law has him where it hurts.
1:04:19 > 1:04:21I've been thinking about it a great deal.
1:04:21 > 1:04:28- You're David Smith!- Jefferson's partner.- My parents.- How do you do?
1:04:28 > 1:04:34- Glad to see you.- The pleasure's all mine.- We've heard so much about you. You're like one of the family.
1:04:34 > 1:04:38- This is Mr Smith. Miss Krausheimer. - We met some time ago.
1:04:38 > 1:04:46- Yes, we know one another well. - You've probably seen a great deal of her.- Yes, I have. Am I interrupting?
1:04:46 > 1:04:50Sit down, boy. We've just met Miss Ann
1:04:50 > 1:04:53and we find out now they're mighty sweet on each other.
1:04:53 > 1:04:57- Ashley!- David probably knows better than us.- Oh, yes.
1:04:57 > 1:05:00If it hadn't been for me, they'd never have gotten together.
1:05:00 > 1:05:03- That's so romantic.- Any of your family from the south?
1:05:03 > 1:05:11- No, but I had a relative in the Civil War who didn't fight at all. He was a slacker.- Many did that.
1:05:11 > 1:05:14- I give them credit.- You know...
1:05:14 > 1:05:17- What, Mrs Custer?- If two people wanted to go on a honeymoon,
1:05:17 > 1:05:22- they could take the boat to New Orleans and motor to our home. - Boats are wonderful for two people.
1:05:22 > 1:05:28Excuse me. But Ann was very sick when we took the night-boat to Albany.
1:05:28 > 1:05:36She's not a very good sailor. Whenever she gets on a boat, don't give her anything to eat.
1:05:36 > 1:05:42Put her to bed and hold a hot-water bottle to her stomach.
1:05:42 > 1:05:49- He thinks himself quite a doctor! ..Er, how do you like New York? - Oh, fine.
1:05:49 > 1:05:54- It's so big, though.- Oh, we're just one big happy family here.
1:05:54 > 1:06:00But there are 1,001 things going on beneath the surface. That reminds me...
1:06:00 > 1:06:08- What about my laundry? I've run out of clean shorts. - Er, Ann took care of his things.
1:06:08 > 1:06:12- Little household things. - A great housekeeper.
1:06:12 > 1:06:15I suppose you're wondering about us. It's quite simple.
1:06:15 > 1:06:19I've known Ann for a long time, and wanted to marry her. Still do, as a matter of fact.
1:06:19 > 1:06:21But, fortunes of war...
1:06:21 > 1:06:23- Oh.- I see.
1:06:23 > 1:06:28Let me tell you something. I know of no finer compliment than this.
1:06:28 > 1:06:34When a man has seen her first thing for three years and still wants to marry her,
1:06:34 > 1:06:38she's quite a girl.
1:06:38 > 1:06:44Jefferson, may I see you in private, please? Come, Mother.
1:06:44 > 1:06:47- Excuse us, please.- Yes, certainly.
1:06:48 > 1:06:53- Excuse me. We could go in here, Father.- No, in here.
1:06:59 > 1:07:03- What kind of white trash is she? - Father, I know it sounded confusing...
1:07:03 > 1:07:06A hot-water bottle on her stomach!
1:07:06 > 1:07:10- And laundering his shorts! - Three years' breakfast.- They had a peculiar relationship.
1:07:10 > 1:07:13- Were they married?- Not exactly. - I thought so!
1:07:13 > 1:07:14RATTLING
1:07:14 > 1:07:19The plumbing isn't very good in this building. You mustn't jump to conclusions about Ann.
1:07:19 > 1:07:21Are you satisfied now?
1:07:21 > 1:07:26You've taken two fine people like that whose lives are wrapped up in their son and made them unhappy.
1:07:26 > 1:07:33- What about me being unhappy? - I wish some of Jeff's fine qualities had brushed off on you.
1:07:33 > 1:07:39- What's fine about them?- He's kind, simple and gentle.- Oh, you're in one of your romantic moods again.
1:07:39 > 1:07:41That's been the trouble all along.
1:07:41 > 1:07:47Since when did you go for the gentle act? Remember the bed lamp?
1:07:47 > 1:07:51- Ann is everything a man could want in a wife. - RATTLING
1:07:51 > 1:07:55Can't you get an office with better plumbing?
1:07:55 > 1:07:57I want to bring her to Lake Placid to visit next weekend.
1:07:57 > 1:08:01Maybe we're being too hasty. We'll make reservations for the children for then.
1:08:01 > 1:08:04I don't want to seem too harsh. We'll try and forget this.
1:08:04 > 1:08:06RATTLING
1:08:21 > 1:08:28- How do you do?- Is it too late to go skiing?- You could get two hours in after lunch.- Hurry, Jeff.
1:08:28 > 1:08:32Oh, Mr Custer, your parents rang.
1:08:32 > 1:08:35They're on an excursion and won't be back until late tonight.
1:08:35 > 1:08:39- The snow has blocked the roads. - I see.
1:08:39 > 1:08:44- What floor are we on? - Your rooms aren't here.- No?
1:08:44 > 1:08:47- They've been changed to one of the cabins.- That's funny.
1:08:47 > 1:08:50I'm sure you'll find it satisfactory. More privacy.
1:08:50 > 1:08:55- They're often preferred.- That's OK, Jeff.- How far is it from here?
1:08:55 > 1:09:01Half a mile. The sleigh brings you back and forth for meals. Gives you quite an appetite.
1:09:01 > 1:09:06- Er, they're not connecting rooms, are they?- No, they're separate suites.
1:09:06 > 1:09:10- We'd better have lunch first. - Boy, they're in Cabin McKinley.
1:09:10 > 1:09:14- Each cabin is named after a president.- Oh, very patriotic!
1:09:14 > 1:09:18SLEIGH-BELLS JINGLE
1:09:18 > 1:09:20Mm, clean, cold air.
1:09:20 > 1:09:23I love the smell of snow!
1:09:23 > 1:09:26- No-one can smell the snow.- I can!
1:09:31 > 1:09:34It isn't snow.
1:09:48 > 1:09:51- Those two bags go in one room and the rest in the other.- Yes, sir.
1:09:55 > 1:09:56Mm!
1:09:58 > 1:10:02- Ooh-ooh-ooh! - Don't catch cold now!
1:10:05 > 1:10:11- Here, boys.- Thank you, sir. Phone when you want to go to dinner.- Fine.
1:10:11 > 1:10:17- The sleigh service and phones are discontinued after 10pm. We try to make this a real retreat.- Suits me!
1:10:29 > 1:10:33A man has no right to ask anything more beautiful.
1:10:33 > 1:10:36- Someone else has the other suite. - Well, I'm glad of that.
1:10:36 > 1:10:39Well, on with our skis!
1:10:42 > 1:10:46- Why, it's David. - What are you doing here?
1:10:49 > 1:10:52Oh!
1:10:52 > 1:10:58- Oh, he's fainted!- I wonder what's happened.- He's terribly ill! - His pulse is even.
1:10:58 > 1:11:00Don't let him soak here. Carry him inside.
1:11:00 > 1:11:04- Right.- Oh, easy, Jeff. Easy, Jeff!
1:11:12 > 1:11:15Ann, would you hold his arms?
1:11:15 > 1:11:20- But you've got his...! - No, his arms, sweetie.
1:11:22 > 1:11:25Let me see now.
1:11:25 > 1:11:29- Ann, you hold his legs, huh? - All right.
1:11:31 > 1:11:34That's fine.
1:11:35 > 1:11:37Too heavy for you, honey?
1:11:37 > 1:11:39No. I guess I better go first.
1:11:39 > 1:11:42Oh, easy, Jeff.
1:11:43 > 1:11:45- Mind the steps, honey.- Yes.
1:11:50 > 1:11:53Set his legs down, honey.
1:11:55 > 1:11:58- Let's rest a minute.- Mm.
1:12:00 > 1:12:03- All right?- Yes.
1:12:06 > 1:12:08Now we've got him!
1:12:13 > 1:12:16Easy. I better go first.
1:12:16 > 1:12:19- Mind the stairs now, honey.- Yes.
1:12:19 > 1:12:21All right.
1:12:21 > 1:12:23Careful!
1:12:23 > 1:12:25Attagirl!
1:12:25 > 1:12:27- In here, Jeff.- In here?- Yeah.
1:12:29 > 1:12:31Mind the chair.
1:12:31 > 1:12:34Phew!
1:12:34 > 1:12:38I'd better go first. Right, swing him, honey.
1:12:38 > 1:12:421...2...3!
1:12:46 > 1:12:48This is his room.
1:12:50 > 1:12:55- He doesn't seem to be breathing! - Don't worry, Ann. Control yourself.
1:12:55 > 1:13:01- He's blue with cold.- He's breathing fine now.- Maybe a little brandy?
1:13:01 > 1:13:06- No, I think that's what did it. - I can see he's been at it all week.
1:13:06 > 1:13:08A few hours sleep will bring him round.
1:13:08 > 1:13:13- Think so?- Mm-hmm. - We'd better get his wet clothes off.
1:13:13 > 1:13:15Come on, old man.
1:13:15 > 1:13:19We will go away the first two weeks in December.
1:13:19 > 1:13:23- The first two weeks in December. - What's he saying?
1:13:23 > 1:13:27We were supposed to come here then.
1:13:27 > 1:13:30You'll be crazy about it, Ann.
1:13:30 > 1:13:35He must have been here the whole week torturing himself. He shouldn't have come here.
1:13:36 > 1:13:41- Playing in the snow, we'll have a lot of fun.- Let's get these wet things off him.
1:13:41 > 1:13:45Look out! Look out!
1:13:45 > 1:13:47You'll fall.
1:13:47 > 1:13:49He thinks we're skiing.
1:13:55 > 1:13:58You're very graceful, Ann...
1:14:00 > 1:14:04..but don't go so fast the next time. I don't want you to hurt yourself.
1:14:04 > 1:14:07Isn't that terrible?
1:14:08 > 1:14:12Look out! Look out for that tree!
1:14:17 > 1:14:20- Ann, I think you better go to your room now.- Why?
1:14:20 > 1:14:22- I want to get him undressed. - Go ahead!
1:14:22 > 1:14:25Well, I-I...
1:14:25 > 1:14:27Oh.
1:14:27 > 1:14:29If you need me, call me.
1:14:31 > 1:14:34The first two weeks in December.
1:14:37 > 1:14:41- You should take a walk to feel better.- He might get delirious again and want water.
1:14:41 > 1:14:45He's sleeping like a baby. There's nothing we can do for him now.
1:14:48 > 1:14:50I think I'll look once more.
1:14:52 > 1:14:55DOOR OPENS
1:15:14 > 1:15:17- (He's asleep.) - MUTTERS
1:15:17 > 1:15:20He's trying to say something.
1:15:20 > 1:15:23The first two weeks in December...
1:15:23 > 1:15:25What's he saying?
1:15:25 > 1:15:29He's still at the first two weeks in December.
1:15:29 > 1:15:32He's opened his eyes.
1:15:32 > 1:15:34Hello, David.
1:15:37 > 1:15:39Hello, David.
1:15:43 > 1:15:46Hello, Ann.
1:15:46 > 1:15:49My, he is in bad shape!
1:15:49 > 1:15:53Don't you remember me? This is Ann...Annie!
1:15:53 > 1:15:56This is Jeff, your old school chum.
1:15:56 > 1:16:01I'll never forget you in that little blue dress.
1:16:01 > 1:16:06That's the dress I was wearing when we first met. The one I told you about. The one he tore.
1:16:06 > 1:16:07He liked me in that.
1:16:07 > 1:16:10I think we ought to let him rest a while.
1:16:10 > 1:16:12GURGLES
1:16:12 > 1:16:17- That isn't a rattle, is it? - I don't think so. I wish I could hear it again, though.
1:16:17 > 1:16:20GURGLE
1:16:20 > 1:16:23No, he's just clearing his throat.
1:16:23 > 1:16:25He looks awful.
1:16:25 > 1:16:29- He needs a shave.- That's what I was thinking.- We'll send for a barber tomorrow.
1:16:40 > 1:16:44RUNNING WATER
1:16:46 > 1:16:50- Are you expecting me to shave him? - No, I can do it.
1:16:50 > 1:16:54Only a barber can do it. It's a difficult job.
1:16:54 > 1:16:58- I've always shaved him. - You've shaved him?- Mm-huh.
1:17:13 > 1:17:16He's going to speak!
1:17:17 > 1:17:19No.
1:17:23 > 1:17:27- That barber's just ruined his skin. - Boy!
1:17:27 > 1:17:31- Boy, I want a shine. - He thinks he's in the barber's shop.
1:17:37 > 1:17:42- Look, he's lifting his hand.- He wants a manicure.- What shall I do?
1:17:42 > 1:17:44Maybe we better humour him. Hold it.
1:17:50 > 1:17:54- Do you think we're doing the right thing?- We mustn't shock him.
1:17:58 > 1:18:02- He thinks I'm a manicurist, doesn't he?- Mm-huh.
1:18:04 > 1:18:06He's squeezing my hand.
1:18:06 > 1:18:11He'll ask you for your phone number next(!) Can you get me his lotion?
1:18:11 > 1:18:13Sure.
1:18:38 > 1:18:40Sit down, Ann.
1:18:42 > 1:18:45You know...
1:18:45 > 1:18:48A woman can't control herself entirely by her head,
1:18:48 > 1:18:50which is probably why we love you.
1:18:50 > 1:18:54You and David have had three years together.
1:18:54 > 1:18:57There's still a bond between you two. It's not easily broken.
1:18:57 > 1:19:01- People get divorced.- It's true I think you'd be better off with me.
1:19:01 > 1:19:07But then I'm prejudiced. My first wish is to see you happy. It's possible - more than possible -
1:19:07 > 1:19:11as peculiar as David is, you still couldn't be happy without him.
1:19:11 > 1:19:13This is what I'd like you to do.
1:19:15 > 1:19:20Take back your promise to marry me and think about it for a few days.
1:19:20 > 1:19:26If you find you can't go on without David, I'll wish you happiness.
1:19:26 > 1:19:31- That's very kind of you. Should we check on him?- It'll wake him up.
1:19:31 > 1:19:35I'll see if he's still asleep. I'll look through the window.
1:20:27 > 1:20:30I will never forget you in that little blue dress.
1:20:30 > 1:20:33Little blue dress, eh? You've been found out, you beast!
1:20:33 > 1:20:38- I should have known.- Look here, Ann...- Big sympathy act, pretending you're on a bat!
1:20:38 > 1:20:43- But I love you, Ann!- You pick up and get out of here. I never want to lay eyes on you again!
1:20:43 > 1:20:47- Get your hands off me!- Ann, I know you're in love me.
1:20:47 > 1:20:49- I know you're crazy.- You're mine and you belong to me.
1:20:49 > 1:20:54- You couldn't have anything to do with that pile of southern fried chicken.- That's what you think!
1:20:54 > 1:20:57You couldn't let him lay a hand on you. I know you. Not after me.
1:20:57 > 1:21:01No? He's going to lay a hand on me. We're going to get married!
1:21:01 > 1:21:08OK, then. I've been thrown out of my own home and threatened by cops,
1:21:08 > 1:21:13chased around in taxis and neglected my job only because I loved you and wanted you back again.
1:21:13 > 1:21:17Now I'm finished. It's washed up.
1:21:17 > 1:21:19Go ahead and marry the guy.
1:21:19 > 1:21:23I hope you'll be very happy.
1:21:27 > 1:21:29Well, you heard!
1:21:29 > 1:21:32He liked me in that little blue dress.
1:21:32 > 1:21:37- Jeff, will you marry me? - I'd be honoured, Ann.
1:21:37 > 1:21:39But is it wise to decide in anger?
1:21:39 > 1:21:43- Even at a time like this, you're thinking of him?!- No, your happiness is my concern.
1:21:43 > 1:21:45I'm not good enough for you.
1:21:45 > 1:21:48You're making me the happiest man in the world.
1:21:48 > 1:21:54Let's go and have some nice dinner now. How about some nice southern fried chicken?
1:21:54 > 1:21:55Yes.
1:21:55 > 1:21:58Hello? Hello, is that the porter?
1:21:58 > 1:22:03What's the first train I can get back to New York? 10:30?
1:22:03 > 1:22:08All right. Have a sleigh up here half an hour before, will you?
1:22:18 > 1:22:22- I thought it was a very nice dinner. didn't you?- I wasn't very hungry.
1:22:24 > 1:22:27Hope he has the decency to leave tonight.
1:22:27 > 1:22:33David? He won't stay around when he's not wanted. I bet he's gone by the time we get back.
1:22:33 > 1:22:35You know why he keeps chasing me?
1:22:35 > 1:22:39He's such an egotist, he can't bear the idea of someone else kissing me.
1:22:39 > 1:22:41He won't believe I'm marrying you.
1:22:41 > 1:22:46- Well, he'll have to, after we're married.- Mm.
1:22:50 > 1:22:54Brrh! It's cold. Tell the driver to go faster.
1:22:54 > 1:22:59Driver, straight to Cabin McKinley. Take the short-cut if there is one.
1:23:01 > 1:23:06- You know, I'm worried about him. - Who? Oh, David, yes.
1:23:06 > 1:23:12- He'll really take to drinking from now on.- Oh, I don't think so.
1:23:12 > 1:23:16He'll find someone else. David's the type to remarry.
1:23:16 > 1:23:24I'm so afraid he'll ruin his life on account of me, spoil a brilliant future. He is brilliant, you know.
1:23:24 > 1:23:31If I could only disillusion him about me, make him hate me, do something!
1:23:31 > 1:23:37If he'd only hate me. That would be the solution. Listen, those walls are paper-thin. He hears everything.
1:23:37 > 1:23:41Why, Ann, what are you suggesting?
1:23:41 > 1:23:46- Well, it's a wonderful idea! Hurry, driver, hurry!- Yes, ma'am.
1:23:52 > 1:23:53Ssh!
1:23:56 > 1:24:00- Goodnight, Jeff.- Goodnight, Ann.
1:24:00 > 1:24:05- It's a wonderful thing you're doing. - It'd be on my conscience otherwise. - Goodnight.
1:24:11 > 1:24:16- LOUDLY:- Come on in, Jeff!
1:24:20 > 1:24:22It's early yet!
1:24:29 > 1:24:34- ECSTATICALLY:- Ah, Jeff! Jeff!
1:24:34 > 1:24:37Oh, put me down, Jeff!
1:24:37 > 1:24:40Put me down this instant!
1:24:43 > 1:24:45Now, Jeff!
1:24:48 > 1:24:54Now, you know I've had enough to drink, Jeff, and so have you.
1:24:54 > 1:24:57- CRASH - Oh, Jeff!
1:24:58 > 1:25:04Oh, Jeff, are you hurt? Ssh! Don't talk so loud. I'll help you up.
1:25:04 > 1:25:07Ohh!
1:25:07 > 1:25:11Mm! My, aren't you strong!
1:25:11 > 1:25:14GIGGLES
1:25:23 > 1:25:26My, what a heavy shoe it is, Jeff.
1:25:26 > 1:25:28Jeff!
1:25:33 > 1:25:35Oh! No!
1:25:35 > 1:25:39No! Jeff, what are you doing?
1:25:44 > 1:25:47Unless you stop, Jeff, I'll have to ask you to leave!
1:25:47 > 1:25:49Jeff! Behave yourself.
1:26:01 > 1:26:05You haven't even got any pride. I only did this so you'd realise it was all over between us.
1:26:05 > 1:26:08There's only one way to handle you.
1:26:08 > 1:26:11Let go of me! JEFF! Let go of me.
1:26:11 > 1:26:17Jeff, I'm not acting! This is real. Come in, Jeff!
1:26:17 > 1:26:20Come in, Jeff! Jeff!
1:26:22 > 1:26:25Hit him, Jeff!
1:26:25 > 1:26:30- I don't need it.- Do you want to make anything out of it?
1:26:30 > 1:26:33I forgive you, David.
1:26:33 > 1:26:35You're not going to hit him?!
1:26:35 > 1:26:38Ann, you're so attractive, I'll take it for granted
1:26:38 > 1:26:41other men less disciplined will always take liberties with you.
1:26:41 > 1:26:45- Violence shows a lack of character. - You mean you're not going to do anything?
1:26:45 > 1:26:48Would you respect me more if I knocked him down?
1:26:48 > 1:26:51Would I? You big blubber! What kind of a man are you?
1:26:51 > 1:26:53How can you be in love with someone and let his happen?
1:26:53 > 1:26:56Let's not say things in anger we'll be sorry for.
1:26:56 > 1:27:02- Haven't you any self-respect? - Surprise!- Isn't it wonderful here? - Having a good time?
1:27:02 > 1:27:07- You're raising your voice.- Ha! - Certainly I'm raising my voice!
1:27:07 > 1:27:10I thought you were a gentle girl.
1:27:10 > 1:27:13Very gentle. How do you think I got this?
1:27:13 > 1:27:16I forbid you to marry this...woman.
1:27:16 > 1:27:19You forbid him to marry me?
1:27:19 > 1:27:23Listen, you stuffed shirt. Even a mouse has enough backbone to fight sometime!
1:27:23 > 1:27:27You can teach a monkey to take his hat off in an elevator.
1:27:27 > 1:27:29I'll take a mouse or monkey anytime,
1:27:29 > 1:27:34whether he's a dipsomaniac who beats his wife or a lump of jelly like you!
1:27:34 > 1:27:35(But I'm not taking you!)
1:27:35 > 1:27:38Why not get a girl guide and go camping together?
1:27:38 > 1:27:41Oh, let me out of here before I forget I'm a lady.
1:27:50 > 1:27:55You have just seen her in one of her quieter moments(!)
1:28:15 > 1:28:17What are you doing?
1:28:17 > 1:28:22There is no transportation and I'm going to the lodge.
1:28:22 > 1:28:26That's ridiculous. Why not spend the night here?
1:28:26 > 1:28:28Not on your life!
1:28:28 > 1:28:31How you going to get there? You can't ski.
1:28:31 > 1:28:34If necessary, on my hands and knees.
1:28:34 > 1:28:39You're not doing me any favour by staying here. I'd just as soon you get out.
1:28:39 > 1:28:42We see eye-to-eye.
1:28:42 > 1:28:45In fact, I'll help you get out.
1:28:51 > 1:28:54- Ow!- Sorry.
1:28:56 > 1:28:58Thank you.
1:29:11 > 1:29:14I'm warning you, I'll kill you in cold blood!
1:29:14 > 1:29:17Some time, some day when your back is turned, I'll stab you!
1:29:17 > 1:29:21I'm telling you. Don't you try anything!
1:29:23 > 1:29:27David, get me out of these! Get me out!
1:29:39 > 1:29:41David!
1:29:41 > 1:29:47Get me out of these or I'll break every bone in your body! DAVID!
1:29:47 > 1:29:49Oh! Oh...
1:29:53 > 1:29:57Mm, David! Oh...
1:29:59 > 1:30:01David!
1:30:01 > 1:30:03Ohh...
1:30:03 > 1:30:05David!
