0:01:25 > 0:01:27Not so fast! You're driving too fast!

0:01:27 > 0:01:29What are you driving so fast for?

0:01:29 > 0:01:33You were up to 35. You know I don't like to go over 30!

0:01:33 > 0:01:37You're always doing something else and having your mind on something else.

0:01:37 > 0:01:40- I'm sorry, Mother. - You haven't heard a word I said.

0:01:40 > 0:01:43- Yes, I have. - What did I say?

0:01:43 > 0:01:46You said I was up to 35, and you didn't like me to go over 30.

0:01:46 > 0:01:50Not that. I said we're going to have it in a church.

0:01:50 > 0:01:52- Have what, Mother? - The wedding!

0:01:52 > 0:01:55- Oh.- See? You weren't listening.

0:01:55 > 0:01:57Red light, Walter.

0:02:00 > 0:02:03That reminds me.

0:02:03 > 0:02:06Bring me home some soap chips. I like the Sea Drift brand.

0:02:06 > 0:02:08They don't make you sneeze.

0:02:11 > 0:02:12Go ahead, Walter.

0:02:15 > 0:02:17Now don't forget the name - Sea Drift.

0:02:24 > 0:02:30'Somewhere off the South China coast, in the worst typhoon in 40 years,

0:02:30 > 0:02:34'the little schooner, India Queen, ploughed through an ocean gone mad.

0:02:34 > 0:02:38'Straining pumps went ta-pocketa, ta-pocketa.

0:02:41 > 0:02:44'Up on deck, Captain Walter Mitty stood at the helm,

0:02:44 > 0:02:46'fighting courageously from keeping this tortured vessel,

0:02:46 > 0:02:48'from being smashed to bits.'

0:02:52 > 0:02:54What are you doing here? Get below!

0:02:54 > 0:02:58Can't I help? You haven't had your clothes off in three days!

0:02:58 > 0:03:00Somebody's gotta get the India Queen through.

0:03:00 > 0:03:04There's half a million dollars of rare spices aboard this ship!

0:03:06 > 0:03:08I promised your father I'd get it through.

0:03:10 > 0:03:12Captain Mitty, you're hurt!

0:03:13 > 0:03:15It's nothing! Just a broken arm!

0:03:18 > 0:03:19SHE SCREAMS

0:03:19 > 0:03:22Walter! Watch out!

0:03:22 > 0:03:24TYRES SCREECH

0:03:28 > 0:03:31I'm sorry.

0:03:37 > 0:03:40Did you write down all the things I told you to write down?

0:03:40 > 0:03:42- I'll remember them. - Oh, no, you won't.

0:03:42 > 0:03:45You just make a note of it in your little black book.

0:03:45 > 0:03:47Number two thread.

0:03:47 > 0:03:49- Snapdragon seeds. - Wait a minute.

0:03:49 > 0:03:53Sock stretchers, can of Gleamo Floor Wax,

0:03:53 > 0:03:55- Gleamo what? - Gleamo Floor Wax.

0:03:55 > 0:03:58Fly spray.

0:03:58 > 0:04:00- What's that "SS"? - Sock stretchers.

0:04:00 > 0:04:03- Well, write it out. - All right.

0:04:03 > 0:04:04And cheese grater.

0:04:04 > 0:04:07And don't forget to return this sprinkling can.

0:04:07 > 0:04:10I tried it out this morning, and the holes are too small.

0:04:10 > 0:04:14Tell them I have better things to do than wait for the water to come out.

0:04:14 > 0:04:16Bye, darling.

0:04:16 > 0:04:18Careful, sweet. Don't forget the cake!

0:04:18 > 0:04:20- What?- The cake!

0:04:55 > 0:04:57Back in the car, please.

0:05:01 > 0:05:03Keep that thing in, bud!

0:05:17 > 0:05:19Excuse me.

0:05:28 > 0:05:30- Morning.- Good morning.

0:05:44 > 0:05:45Oh, Mitty.

0:05:47 > 0:05:49Here are those drawings you wanted.

0:05:49 > 0:05:51Oh, yeah. Thank you.

0:05:56 > 0:05:58Oh, that's pretty, Mr Grimsby.

0:05:58 > 0:06:00Yeah, it's a bit mild.

0:06:00 > 0:06:04I think I ought to tear the dress off her other shoulder.

0:06:04 > 0:06:07You could use a little more blood on the axe.

0:06:32 > 0:06:35Well, good morning, everybody.

0:06:35 > 0:06:38You think I'd forgotten you? Here we are.

0:06:38 > 0:06:40Now stop, Elmer. You've had enough already.

0:06:40 > 0:06:43Come on. There.

0:06:43 > 0:06:46Hey, dream boy.

0:06:47 > 0:06:51- The old man's screaming for you. - Oh! The conference.

0:06:53 > 0:06:56Let's see. "Spicy Sea Stories." Here we are.

0:06:56 > 0:06:59"Air Aces."

0:07:02 > 0:07:05Hold it! Raise your hands just a little.

0:07:05 > 0:07:06Still!

0:07:06 > 0:07:08- Hello, Fred. - How's it going, Walter?

0:07:08 > 0:07:10Fine.

0:07:10 > 0:07:14Gentlemen, it will be the regular practice of the firm till...

0:07:15 > 0:07:16Well, Mitty.

0:07:16 > 0:07:19So you finally chose to honour us with your presence.

0:07:19 > 0:07:21- Yes, sir. - Where are the proofs to Air Aces?

0:07:21 > 0:07:24- Right here, Mr Pierce. Ready to go.- Put it to bed.

0:07:24 > 0:07:26- Mitty! - Yes, sir?

0:07:26 > 0:07:28What is the meaning of this?

0:07:28 > 0:07:30Meaning of what, Mr Pierce?

0:07:30 > 0:07:31You had the vampire killed off,

0:07:31 > 0:07:34of the first instalment of The Lady And The Vampire.

0:07:34 > 0:07:36There are 33 issues to go.

0:07:36 > 0:07:39- But he isn't really dead. - What do you mean he isn't dead?

0:07:39 > 0:07:41The villagers drove a stake through his heart!

0:07:41 > 0:07:42Anybody knows that kills a vampire!

0:07:42 > 0:07:46Yes, but if you read further on you'll find the stake only went through a lung.

0:07:46 > 0:07:50You don't have to worry. He'll be back sucking blood in the next issue.

0:07:50 > 0:07:52Well, sit down.

0:07:52 > 0:07:54If you'd been here on time you'd know why I called this meeting.

0:07:56 > 0:07:58To repeat, ladies and gentlemen.

0:07:58 > 0:08:02Ours is a great and proud list of magazines.

0:08:02 > 0:08:05Racy Detective Stories, Astounding Adventure Tales,

0:08:05 > 0:08:07Wild Confessions, Air Aces.

0:08:07 > 0:08:10- Frontier Stories... - Exotic Love Stories.

0:08:11 > 0:08:13- And Sensational Murders. - And Sen...

0:08:13 > 0:08:15Mitty, when I need your help I'll ask for it.

0:08:16 > 0:08:20But a new and virgin field of fiction has come to my attention.

0:08:20 > 0:08:23A rich and as yet untapped vein,

0:08:23 > 0:08:25embracing thousands of undiscovered readers.

0:08:25 > 0:08:29Starting the first of next month we go to press with a new baby.

0:08:32 > 0:08:34Hospital Love Stories.

0:08:34 > 0:08:37- Congratulations! You've done it again!- Thank you, gentlemen.

0:08:39 > 0:08:43- Well, what do you think? - Oh! I've always liked it, Mr Pierce.

0:08:43 > 0:08:47Don't you remember? I suggested the idea in a memorandum last month.

0:08:48 > 0:08:51Oh, that! I had this idea two years ago.

0:08:51 > 0:08:54Now, the type of stories we need -

0:08:54 > 0:08:56you may take notes, gentlemen.

0:08:57 > 0:08:59Now, let me see.

0:08:59 > 0:09:00Hospital Love Stories.

0:09:00 > 0:09:02What have we got to sell?

0:09:02 > 0:09:05Beautiful blonde nurses.

0:09:05 > 0:09:07We can't have too many nurses.

0:09:07 > 0:09:11Capture the glamour of the hospital. You get the idea?

0:09:11 > 0:09:16'With the compassionate look of a man who had seen much too much pain,

0:09:16 > 0:09:19'Dr Walter Mitty, the surgical genius,

0:09:19 > 0:09:21'entered the breathless hush of the operating room,

0:09:21 > 0:09:23'the sound of the huge anaesthetizing machine,

0:09:23 > 0:09:26'going ta-pocketa, ta-pocketa.

0:09:28 > 0:09:30'There were whispered introductions.'

0:09:30 > 0:09:33I'm glad you came. Dr Remington. Dr Renshaw.

0:09:33 > 0:09:35Dr Pritchard-Midford, St John's Hospital, London.

0:09:35 > 0:09:37- Dr Walter Mitty. - Gentlemen.

0:09:44 > 0:09:45The new anaesthetiser's giving way.

0:09:45 > 0:09:47There's no-one in the East who knows how to fix it.

0:09:47 > 0:09:49Quiet, man.

0:09:59 > 0:10:01Give me your fountain pen.

0:10:09 > 0:10:12- That will hold for ten minutes. - Astounding!

0:10:13 > 0:10:16He's not only the greatest surgeon in the world,

0:10:16 > 0:10:19he's also a mechanical genius.

0:10:20 > 0:10:22You'd better get on with the operation.

0:10:25 > 0:10:26Good heavens!

0:10:26 > 0:10:29- What is it? - Coreopsis has set in.

0:10:29 > 0:10:32Poor devil!

0:10:32 > 0:10:34Would you take over, Mitty?

0:10:35 > 0:10:37If you wish.

0:10:51 > 0:10:53It's hopeless.

0:10:53 > 0:10:55There's only one chance, gentlemen.

0:10:55 > 0:10:57The Vienna Trepan.

0:10:57 > 0:11:00The operation Heinzelman performed on a rabbit?

0:11:00 > 0:11:02Precisely.

0:11:02 > 0:11:05Blood pressure, please.

0:11:05 > 0:11:06Thirty over two hundred.

0:11:08 > 0:11:09Scalpel.

0:11:11 > 0:11:13Sock stretcher.

0:11:15 > 0:11:16Sprinkling can.

0:11:18 > 0:11:20Cheese grater.

0:11:22 > 0:11:24Floor wax.

0:11:27 > 0:11:29Needle and number two threads.

0:11:38 > 0:11:40There you are.

0:11:43 > 0:11:45Oh, Doctor, do you think...

0:11:45 > 0:11:48- Will he... - There, there, Miss Cartwright.

0:11:48 > 0:11:51Your brother will play the violin again.

0:11:51 > 0:11:52I just grafted new fingers on him.

0:11:52 > 0:11:56Oh, you're wonderful!

0:11:56 > 0:11:58Wonderful!

0:11:58 > 0:12:00You'll want some rest now.

0:12:04 > 0:12:06Wonderful.

0:12:06 > 0:12:09VOICE TRAILS OFF

0:12:12 > 0:12:15Mitty! I asked you a question. I expect an answer!

0:12:15 > 0:12:17Ta-pocketa, ta-pocketa...

0:12:17 > 0:12:19What's that?

0:12:22 > 0:12:23I was just thinking, sir.

0:12:23 > 0:12:26We might possibly put out a pocket-size edition.

0:12:26 > 0:12:29- Pocket-size edition? - Yes, sir.

0:12:29 > 0:12:31- For pockets. - You weren't thinking at all!

0:12:31 > 0:12:34- You were daydreaming again! - Oh, no, sir! I was really thinking.

0:12:34 > 0:12:37I was thinking about hospitals for hospital stories.

0:12:37 > 0:12:39I finished talking about hospitals ten minutes ago!

0:12:39 > 0:12:43The subject, for your information, is the next issue of Racy Detective.

0:12:47 > 0:12:50Pocket-size edition.

0:12:52 > 0:12:54Not a bad idea.

0:12:55 > 0:12:57- Hello. - Hello, Mother.

0:13:01 > 0:13:04- You forgot to bring the cake. - What cake?

0:13:04 > 0:13:05Gertrude and her mother are coming to dinner.

0:13:05 > 0:13:08I asked you to bring home a cake.

0:13:08 > 0:13:10What's that thing?

0:13:10 > 0:13:12I thought you said "rake."

0:13:12 > 0:13:15You're getting more absent-minded every day.

0:13:15 > 0:13:17It's all that daydreaming you do.

0:13:17 > 0:13:19I brought everything else - the number two thread,

0:13:19 > 0:13:21the Gleamo wax, the sock stretchers.

0:13:21 > 0:13:23- Did you bring the snapdragon seeds? - No. They didn't have any.

0:13:23 > 0:13:25The man said petunias were just as pretty.

0:13:25 > 0:13:29Don't you ever forget. When I say snapdragon seeds,

0:13:29 > 0:13:31I mean snapdragon seeds.

0:13:31 > 0:13:32Yes, Mother.

0:13:35 > 0:13:37Just leave everything in the hall. I'll take care of it.

0:13:41 > 0:13:43Hurry and get cleaned up. They'll be here any minute.

0:13:43 > 0:13:46All right, Mother.

0:13:46 > 0:13:47- Is there any mail for me? - No.

0:13:47 > 0:13:49- Who are you expecting a letter from?- Nobody.

0:13:49 > 0:13:52I just thought there might be some mail.

0:13:56 > 0:13:58Don't use the guest towels.

0:13:58 > 0:14:00I just put them up.

0:14:00 > 0:14:02Use the one on your door.

0:14:02 > 0:14:04All right, Mother.

0:14:09 > 0:14:12And put on that clean shirt I hung up for you.

0:14:21 > 0:14:25And use some of the cologne Gertrude gave you for Christmas.

0:14:25 > 0:14:27Do I have to? It smells like ether.

0:14:27 > 0:14:29Don't be silly. It's lovely,

0:14:29 > 0:14:31and the least you can do for your fiancee.

0:14:31 > 0:14:33Oh, all right.

0:14:36 > 0:14:38Oh, gosh!

0:14:49 > 0:14:53- Irmagarde! - Eunice, how are you?

0:14:53 > 0:14:55Come in, dear, and Gertrude.

0:14:55 > 0:14:58My, what a sweet hat!

0:14:58 > 0:15:01And, Gertrude, you look too cute for words.

0:15:01 > 0:15:03I hope you don't mind my bringing Queenie, Mrs Mitty.

0:15:03 > 0:15:05She doesn't like to be alone.

0:15:05 > 0:15:08Do you, Queenie, in that great, big empty house?

0:15:08 > 0:15:10Not at all, dear.

0:15:10 > 0:15:13Walter, there's someone down here to see you, dear.

0:15:18 > 0:15:20- Hello, Mrs Griswold. - Dear Walter.

0:15:20 > 0:15:23- Hello, Gertrude. - Come along, Irmagarde.

0:15:23 > 0:15:25What's that awful smell?

0:15:25 > 0:15:28It's that cologne you gave me for Christmas.

0:15:28 > 0:15:30It's lovely, isn't it?

0:15:30 > 0:15:34Queenie, say hello to your future daddy,

0:15:34 > 0:15:35"Walty Mittens."

0:15:35 > 0:15:37Don't stand there like a stick. Wave back.

0:15:38 > 0:15:40Hello, Queenie.

0:15:40 > 0:15:41DOG YELPS

0:15:43 > 0:15:45Naughty Queenie!

0:15:45 > 0:15:47There you are, Queenie.

0:15:47 > 0:15:50Mommy's precious.

0:15:50 > 0:15:52- Have you talked to your boss yet? - No, I haven't.

0:15:52 > 0:15:56I certainly think you should talk to him and get two or three months off.

0:15:56 > 0:15:58- Two or three months! - Frankly I don't approve of honeymoons.

0:15:58 > 0:16:00All that packing!

0:16:00 > 0:16:03Walter's always head his heart set on seeing Yellowstone Park.

0:16:03 > 0:16:05- Why?- Why?

0:16:05 > 0:16:09I don't know. I just thought I'd like to see Yellowstone Park.

0:16:09 > 0:16:11Do they let dogs in there?

0:16:11 > 0:16:14Honey, you weren't thinking of taking Queenie along?

0:16:14 > 0:16:18- I was only asking!- I wouldn't dream of leaving Queenie!

0:16:18 > 0:16:22Queenie and Walter don't trust each other. That's why they don't get along.

0:16:22 > 0:16:25She always starts! You see?

0:16:25 > 0:16:27Queenie, you old crosspatch.

0:16:29 > 0:16:30I don't think she's feeling well.

0:16:30 > 0:16:34Why don't you try that new vitamin puppy biscuit?

0:16:34 > 0:16:37Walter would be happy to pick some up for you.

0:16:37 > 0:16:39That would be wonderful.

0:16:39 > 0:16:42- Make a note of that, dear. - Yes, Mother.

0:16:42 > 0:16:44Walter, you haven't touched your nice milk toast.

0:16:44 > 0:16:46- I'm not hungry. - You know the doctor said,

0:16:46 > 0:16:49it would be good for your nervous stomach.

0:16:49 > 0:16:51That's why the Air Corps turned him down.

0:16:51 > 0:16:53It must be cold in here.

0:16:53 > 0:16:55Queenie's shivering.

0:16:57 > 0:17:00Yes, Mother. I know. The furnace.

0:17:00 > 0:17:02Excuse me.

0:17:03 > 0:17:05Walter's a very lucky boy.

0:17:05 > 0:17:07Tubby Wadsworth has proposed a half a dozen times.

0:17:07 > 0:17:10He's still doing it!

0:17:46 > 0:17:51'The Spitfire dived through the clouds, its machine guns belching lead.

0:17:51 > 0:17:55'Oblivious to the ominous ta-pocketa, ta-pocketa of his failing engines,

0:17:55 > 0:17:59'Wing Commander Walter Mitty, the most feared man in RAF Desert patrol,

0:17:59 > 0:18:00'clung to the tail of the Messerschmitt.'

0:18:02 > 0:18:05Himmel's villain. It's Walter Mitty.

0:18:05 > 0:18:07I am a lost man.

0:18:13 > 0:18:16'Mitty's jaw was a grim, straight line,

0:18:16 > 0:18:19'as he gave the Jerry three more lethal bursts,

0:18:20 > 0:18:23'and watched him go down in flames.'

0:18:36 > 0:18:40# As I go rolling home

0:18:40 > 0:18:42# I'm as happy as a king, believe me... #

0:18:42 > 0:18:45I say, fellas! There's Group Captain Mitty.

0:18:45 > 0:18:46He made it!

0:18:46 > 0:18:48CHEERING

0:18:53 > 0:18:57- Mitty, how many this time, old boy? - Oh...

0:19:01 > 0:19:03- Hello, sir. - Good show, Mitty.

0:19:03 > 0:19:05- Oh, thank you, sir. - That makes 73, doesn't it?

0:19:05 > 0:19:08No, 71 actually. two were only probables, you know.

0:19:08 > 0:19:10Oh. Spot of brandy?

0:19:10 > 0:19:12Oh, yes. Thank you, sir.

0:19:12 > 0:19:14I say, old chap. You're wounded.

0:19:14 > 0:19:17It's nothing, sir. Merely a scratch. Set the bone myself.

0:19:17 > 0:19:19Priceless fellow.

0:19:19 > 0:19:23- I wish we had more like you. - Thank you, sir.

0:19:23 > 0:19:25- Anything troubling you, sir? - Young Raleigh.

0:19:25 > 0:19:28Got a case of nerves. I promise the general we'd get that tank dump.

0:19:28 > 0:19:30Oh, bad luck, sir.

0:19:30 > 0:19:33- Is it vital? - Vital?

0:19:33 > 0:19:35Our whole desert campaign depends upon it.

0:19:35 > 0:19:37Oh, I see.

0:19:41 > 0:19:43Put young Raleigh to bed, sir.

0:19:43 > 0:19:45- What do you mean? - I'll fly his mission.

0:19:45 > 0:19:48You? You haven't closed your eyes in three days.

0:19:48 > 0:19:50I know, sir, but we only live once.

0:19:50 > 0:19:52Or do we?

0:19:52 > 0:19:55- Shall we have a go at it? - Cheerio.

0:19:55 > 0:19:58- Mitty looks a bit done in, fellows. - Yes, he does.

0:19:58 > 0:20:01Got the courage of a lion, though. Never gives up.

0:20:01 > 0:20:02He's a delightful fellow.

0:20:02 > 0:20:04I studied music with him at the Academy.

0:20:04 > 0:20:08I shall never forget his impersonation of old Professor Gruenwald.

0:20:08 > 0:20:09- Do you remember? - Rather.

0:20:09 > 0:20:11Almost drove the old professor barmy.

0:20:11 > 0:20:14- I wish he'd do it now. - So do I.

0:20:14 > 0:20:16Go ahead, Mitty. I'd rather enjoy a laugh myself.

0:20:17 > 0:20:20All right, sir.

0:20:20 > 0:20:21Say, let me have your coat, old boy.

0:20:21 > 0:20:22Oui, monsieur.

0:20:23 > 0:20:26There you are! He's doing it now.

0:20:26 > 0:20:29- GERMAN ACCENT:- All right! Everybody scatter away to the chairs here!

0:20:29 > 0:20:31Come on, everybody!

0:20:31 > 0:20:33Everybody sit down.

0:20:33 > 0:20:36Children, what makes music music?

0:20:37 > 0:20:40Music! Und why?

0:20:40 > 0:20:43# When to the symphony you go and they're playing fast but slow

0:20:43 > 0:20:46# Do you hear the pizzicato's sweet hello when you go

0:20:46 > 0:20:49# Or the flugelhorns up high Or the fiddles when they cry

0:20:49 > 0:20:51# No, und why

0:20:52 > 0:20:54# Because you don't go. #

0:20:54 > 0:20:57You see, children. A symphony is not only music.

0:20:57 > 0:21:01It tells a story which has a beginning, middle und an end.

0:21:01 > 0:21:03Except of course, the Unfinished Symphony,

0:21:03 > 0:21:05which has a beginning,

0:21:05 > 0:21:07We will now take up the instruments.

0:21:07 > 0:21:09# There is the trombone

0:21:09 > 0:21:10# Und the tuba

0:21:10 > 0:21:12# Und the oboe

0:21:12 > 0:21:14# Und the saxophone, sousaphone zither and xylophone

0:21:14 > 0:21:15# Clarinet, bugle horn fiddle and flugelhorn

0:21:15 > 0:21:17# Tenor kazoo and the timpani too... #

0:21:17 > 0:21:20They are all very busy, except the cymbal.

0:21:20 > 0:21:23He stands in the corner and looks around in disgust.

0:21:23 > 0:21:25HE MIMICS A CRASHING CYMBAL

0:21:25 > 0:21:29This brings us to Symphony Number 45,

0:21:29 > 0:21:32Which was written by the great Czechoslovakian composer,

0:21:32 > 0:21:34Andre Griminick...

0:21:34 > 0:21:37HE TALKS GIBBERISH

0:21:42 > 0:21:44..the Second.

0:21:44 > 0:21:48This work was composed under a slight disadvantage.

0:21:48 > 0:21:50He had no talent.

0:21:50 > 0:21:54The conductor lifts his baton, und we start.

0:22:32 > 0:22:34cantabile molto chocolate molto.

0:22:34 > 0:22:38Und we have the first theme which is naturally played on the first fiddle.

0:22:38 > 0:22:40HE MIMICS A FIDDLE

0:22:40 > 0:22:43This represents a young girl which is living with her wicked guardian,

0:22:43 > 0:22:45who is a French horn.

0:22:45 > 0:22:48HE MIMICS A FRENCH HORN

0:22:48 > 0:22:50Now this young girl...

0:22:50 > 0:22:52HE MIMICS A FIDDLE

0:22:52 > 0:22:54..who is a beautiful girl...

0:22:54 > 0:22:56HE MIMICS A FIDDLE

0:22:56 > 0:22:58..und her wicked guardian...

0:22:58 > 0:23:01HE MIMICS A FIDDLE

0:23:01 > 0:23:03..live all alone on a farm.

0:23:03 > 0:23:05And all she has for company are a hen...

0:23:05 > 0:23:07HE MIMICS A HEN

0:23:07 > 0:23:09..und a dog...

0:23:09 > 0:23:11HE MIMICS A DOG

0:23:14 > 0:23:16..jund a nanny goat.

0:23:16 > 0:23:18HE MIMICS A GOAT

0:23:20 > 0:23:25At this point in the symphony, along comes a handsome young trumpet.

0:23:25 > 0:23:27HE MIMICS A TRUMPET

0:23:27 > 0:23:30Und when he clasps his eyes on this young girl,

0:23:30 > 0:23:32his heart goes...

0:23:32 > 0:23:34HE MIMICS A MUSICAL HEARTBEAT

0:23:34 > 0:23:36This is Czechoslovakian for thumping.

0:23:36 > 0:23:37LAUGHTER

0:23:37 > 0:23:40Und he gets so excited that he has a solo passage.

0:23:40 > 0:23:43Which brings us to the second movement where the fiddle is happy.

0:23:43 > 0:23:46HE MIMICS A FIDDLE

0:23:46 > 0:23:47Und the trumpet is happy.

0:23:47 > 0:23:50HE MIMICS A TRUMPET

0:23:50 > 0:23:53When suddenly, out stalks the French horn.

0:23:53 > 0:23:57HE MIMICS A FRENCH HORN

0:23:57 > 0:24:00The little fiddle is so "putrefied," her bridge falls out.

0:24:00 > 0:24:02HE MIMICS A FIDDLE

0:24:02 > 0:24:04Und the trumpet says...

0:24:04 > 0:24:07HE MIMICS A TRUMPET

0:24:07 > 0:24:10But the French horn is very objectionable to this.

0:24:10 > 0:24:14HE MIMICS A FRENCH HORN

0:24:14 > 0:24:16Und the trumpet blows his top.

0:24:16 > 0:24:18HE MIMICS A TRUMPET

0:24:18 > 0:24:20Shut up! Now I know who you are!

0:24:20 > 0:24:23You are not a French horn at all! That...

0:24:23 > 0:24:24HE MIMICS A FRENCH HORN

0:24:24 > 0:24:26..had me fooled for a while. But a...

0:24:26 > 0:24:28gave you away.

0:24:28 > 0:24:31You are a German glockenspiel in disguise, beyond a doubt,

0:24:31 > 0:24:34wanted by the police for drowning 12 little fiddles out.

0:24:34 > 0:24:36The glockenspiel tries to escape to his flat,

0:24:36 > 0:24:38but the animals are too sharp for him.

0:24:38 > 0:24:40HE MIMICS A DOG

0:24:40 > 0:24:41In the leg!

0:24:41 > 0:24:43HE MIMICS A HEN

0:24:43 > 0:24:44In the neck!

0:24:44 > 0:24:45HE MIMICS A HEN

0:24:45 > 0:24:47In the face!

0:24:47 > 0:24:48HE MIMICS A GOAT

0:24:48 > 0:24:49In the other place!

0:24:49 > 0:24:51The glockenspiel is trapped, his escape they are foiling.

0:24:51 > 0:24:55So he jumps into a kettledrum which is boiling!

0:24:55 > 0:24:57HE MIMICS A BOILING KETTLEDRUM

0:24:57 > 0:24:59# Hooray, the bad old glockenspiel is dead... #

0:24:59 > 0:25:03HE IMPROVISES A QUICK-FIRE TUNE

0:25:04 > 0:25:06- # Happy little fiddle and trumpet are wed...- #

0:25:31 > 0:25:33- See you at headquarters. - Yes, sir.

0:25:39 > 0:25:41Oh, you are so brave.

0:25:41 > 0:25:45So strong! So handsome!

0:25:45 > 0:25:48You like Cosette, no?

0:25:49 > 0:25:50Rather.

0:25:52 > 0:25:54Cheerio.

0:25:58 > 0:26:00Walter.

0:26:00 > 0:26:01Walter.

0:26:01 > 0:26:05Will you please come up here? Your milk toast is getting soggy!

0:26:05 > 0:26:07Right-o, Mother!

0:26:07 > 0:26:08Ow!

0:26:12 > 0:26:15If you'd gotten up on time, you'd have made the 7:45.

0:26:15 > 0:26:16There was no reason to oversleep!

0:26:16 > 0:26:20I had to stay up and read those proofs for Mr Pierce.

0:26:20 > 0:26:22Take a cab from the station, never mind the expense.

0:26:22 > 0:26:25I'll take it out of your allowance. Goodbye, dear.

0:26:25 > 0:26:27Hurry, now! Hurry, dear!

0:26:27 > 0:26:29Bye! The rake!

0:26:30 > 0:26:33And don't forget the birdseed and unbleached muslin!

0:26:33 > 0:26:35- Goodbye, Mother. - Goodbye, darling.

0:26:51 > 0:26:53- May I?- Pardon me.

0:27:23 > 0:27:25Manhattan Transfer.

0:27:27 > 0:27:30Manhattan Transfer.

0:27:30 > 0:27:31Manhattan Transfer.

0:27:35 > 0:27:36Goodbye, darling.

0:27:36 > 0:27:39Have a nice day at the office.

0:27:39 > 0:27:41I'll see you at Mother's tonight.

0:28:06 > 0:28:07Hello.

0:28:07 > 0:28:09Hello.

0:28:09 > 0:28:11I thought you got off at Manhattan Transfer?

0:28:11 > 0:28:13I just pretended to. I was trying to avoid a masher.

0:28:13 > 0:28:16Oh, I'm terribly sorry if I gave the wrong impression...

0:28:16 > 0:28:19Oh, it wasn't you. But I appreciate your coming to my assistance.

0:28:19 > 0:28:21Thank you.

0:28:21 > 0:28:25You're welcome. Well, goodbye.

0:28:27 > 0:28:30Oh, darling! You shouldn't have done it!

0:28:32 > 0:28:35Oh, it's the loveliest bracelet in the world!

0:28:35 > 0:28:38Come! We'll go to the dressmakers together.

0:28:45 > 0:28:47What's the matter?

0:28:47 > 0:28:49You've a good face.

0:28:49 > 0:28:53Well, you've a good one too.

0:28:53 > 0:28:55Don't be alarmed. I'm not going to kiss you again.

0:28:55 > 0:28:57I wasn't thinking about that.

0:28:59 > 0:29:01I think I can trust you, Mr..

0:29:01 > 0:29:03Mitty. Walter Mitty.

0:29:03 > 0:29:06- My name is Rosalind van Hoorn. - How do you do?

0:29:06 > 0:29:07Gee, that's a pretty name.

0:29:07 > 0:29:10I need your assistance, Mr Mitty. Will you help me?

0:29:10 > 0:29:13- Me? How?- I'm on my way to meet the Hollandia.

0:29:13 > 0:29:16I'm being followed, and I'm frightened.

0:29:16 > 0:29:18Please come with me.

0:29:18 > 0:29:20- You're frightened? - Yes.

0:29:20 > 0:29:23- And you want me to help you? - Yes.

0:29:24 > 0:29:25Gosh.

0:29:25 > 0:29:27If you were along I wouldn't have to worry.

0:29:29 > 0:29:32Well, I guess I could handle myself in a pinch.

0:29:33 > 0:29:36I do a little boxing at the Y.

0:29:36 > 0:29:40- Well, I'd like to see any masher try...- Oh, you're very kind!

0:29:40 > 0:29:43Never mind the Pierce building. Go to Pier 47.

0:29:43 > 0:29:46Yes, never mind... Oh! Wait a minute!

0:29:46 > 0:29:48I'm sorry! I'm late for the office. I have to be...

0:29:48 > 0:29:50Driver, will you stop the cab. There it is now.

0:29:50 > 0:29:51Please! Stop the cab!

0:29:53 > 0:29:54Bye.

0:29:57 > 0:29:59Here's my share of the cab ride.

0:29:59 > 0:30:01That isn't necessary.

0:30:01 > 0:30:03- Bye. - Goodbye, Mr Mitty.

0:30:10 > 0:30:11- Oh!- What's the matter?

0:30:11 > 0:30:13My briefcase! I left it in that cab!

0:30:13 > 0:30:17It had all the proofs to Air Aces in it! Mr Pierce will kill me!

0:30:17 > 0:30:19Here! Hold this, will you? Taxi!

0:30:20 > 0:30:22Pier 47, North River.

0:30:28 > 0:30:31Karl Maasdam, Rotterdam.

0:30:34 > 0:30:35OK, Mr Maasdam.

0:30:38 > 0:30:39Excuse me, miss.

0:30:48 > 0:30:49Did you see a girl in a green dress?

0:30:49 > 0:30:52She came in a cab. It had my briefcase in it.

0:30:52 > 0:30:56I didn't see the driver's face, but the back of his head was kind of oblong.

0:30:56 > 0:31:00- Uncle will be so glad to see you. - Not more than I'll be glad to see him.

0:31:00 > 0:31:03It's incredible. I can't believe that he's still living.

0:31:11 > 0:31:13You're quite sure you came here unobserved?

0:31:13 > 0:31:15Karl, you mustn't trouble yourself any more.

0:31:15 > 0:31:18You're in safe hands now.

0:31:24 > 0:31:26Miss van Hoorn.

0:31:26 > 0:31:28Wait a minute!

0:31:28 > 0:31:31My briefcase, I left it in your taxicab.

0:31:31 > 0:31:33I followed you all the way down here.

0:31:33 > 0:31:35I'm sorry I put you to all that trouble.

0:31:35 > 0:31:37- Mr Maasdam, this is Mr Mitty. - How do you do?

0:31:37 > 0:31:41- Is this what you are looking for? - Yes. Thank you very much.

0:31:43 > 0:31:46We're in a dreadful hurry. Would you help the driver with the luggage?

0:31:46 > 0:31:48- I'm terribly late... - We can drop you off.

0:31:48 > 0:31:50OK. Sure.

0:32:03 > 0:32:05- What was that? - What?

0:32:06 > 0:32:09- That click? - I didn't hear nothing.

0:32:18 > 0:32:22Sorry to keep rushing you like this but our whole next issue is in here.

0:32:23 > 0:32:25I'm in the publishing business.

0:32:25 > 0:32:27We put out 31 magazines.

0:32:33 > 0:32:36- He must be pretty tired. - Yes, he's had quite a trip.

0:32:38 > 0:32:41I guess he fell asleep.

0:32:42 > 0:32:44Karl! Karl!

0:32:44 > 0:32:45SHE GASPS

0:32:45 > 0:32:48- He's been stabbed! - Stabbed?

0:32:48 > 0:32:51What are we going to do? It's 10:00.

0:32:51 > 0:32:53I've never been this late before! What are we going to do?

0:32:53 > 0:32:55Driver, take us to the nearest police station!

0:33:09 > 0:33:11Officer! Something terrible has happened!

0:33:11 > 0:33:14- This young lady and I... - What young lady?

0:33:16 > 0:33:18Officer, I want to report a murder!

0:33:18 > 0:33:20- Murder? - Yes, sir. We have the body outside.

0:33:20 > 0:33:21What?

0:33:26 > 0:33:28The body is in this taxicab.

0:33:33 > 0:33:34What taxicab?

0:33:34 > 0:33:37Well, it was right here.

0:33:37 > 0:33:40I drove up with a girl in green, and we left the body in the taxicab.

0:33:40 > 0:33:42- A yellow taxicab? - No. A pink one.

0:33:42 > 0:33:45- And the girl was in blue. - No. Green.

0:33:45 > 0:33:49Just as I thought! This is a case for Scotland Yard!

0:33:49 > 0:33:50No, no! Really, Officer.

0:33:50 > 0:33:52Her name was Rosalind van Hoorn.

0:33:52 > 0:33:56- And she said I had a nice face... - Well, you have a nice face.

0:33:56 > 0:33:58Now you go home and sleep it off.

0:34:14 > 0:34:15Good morning, Mr Mitty.

0:34:23 > 0:34:24Mitty!

0:34:24 > 0:34:26OBJECTS CLATTER

0:34:26 > 0:34:28Good morning.

0:34:28 > 0:34:31When do you take over the First National Bank?

0:34:31 > 0:34:33- What do you mean? - You seem to be keeping bankers' hours.

0:34:33 > 0:34:36Well, I have a very good excuse.

0:34:36 > 0:34:39I went down to meet the Hollandia to get my briefcase.

0:34:39 > 0:34:41I was with a beautiful girl, and coming back, a man was murdered.

0:34:41 > 0:34:44Murdered right next to me in a taxicab.

0:34:44 > 0:34:45Then they all disappeared.

0:34:45 > 0:34:48- Oh, they all disappeared? - Yes, sir.

0:34:48 > 0:34:50Why don't you tell the truth? You fell asleep on the train!

0:34:50 > 0:34:52- No, sir! - Yes, sir?

0:34:52 > 0:34:54I want to tell you something for your own good.

0:34:54 > 0:34:57- You've been here for 10 years. - 11.

0:34:57 > 0:34:58- 11 is it?- Yes.

0:34:58 > 0:35:02If you don't stop this woolgathering I'll have to take drastic action!

0:35:02 > 0:35:05Oh, honest, Mr Pierce. This wasn't a daydream.

0:35:05 > 0:35:09- I'm sure it wasn't. - I've no time for your excuses.

0:35:09 > 0:35:13- Where are those proofs? - Right here in my briefcase.

0:35:13 > 0:35:16I have them all read and corrected, sir.

0:35:16 > 0:35:18- There they are. - What's this?

0:35:18 > 0:35:19My memorandum book.

0:35:19 > 0:35:22OK, we'll send these to press.

0:35:22 > 0:35:24Here. You get busy on Sensational Murders.

0:35:24 > 0:35:27Sensational Murders?

0:35:27 > 0:35:30I don't want to be bothered. I have an important board meeting this afternoon.

0:35:30 > 0:35:32- Yes, sir.- Oh!

0:35:32 > 0:35:34Tell Joe to doctor up that knifing story.

0:35:34 > 0:35:36Lord Cecil was only stabbed once.

0:35:36 > 0:35:38We've always given our readers their money's worth.

0:35:38 > 0:35:41Have him stabbed front and back and in the side!

0:35:41 > 0:35:44And save the heart for last!

0:35:44 > 0:35:48Why should we stint on things like that?

0:35:48 > 0:35:50HE SCREAMS

0:35:50 > 0:35:52What's the matter with you?

0:35:52 > 0:35:54Nothing, sir.

0:36:09 > 0:36:11Oh, Mr Mitty.

0:36:13 > 0:36:15It's you.

0:36:16 > 0:36:19- I want to apologise for this morning.- Where'd you disappear to?

0:36:19 > 0:36:22I went to make a phone call and was advised to leave.

0:36:22 > 0:36:25Uncle felt there was too much at stake for me to be mixed up in what happened.

0:36:25 > 0:36:27Uncle who?

0:36:27 > 0:36:29Uncle Peter. He told me to come here and get you.

0:36:30 > 0:36:32- Get me? - He wants to meet you.

0:36:32 > 0:36:35I don't want to get mixed up in this thing either.

0:36:35 > 0:36:38Besides, I've got some shopping to do for my mother.

0:36:38 > 0:36:42- Please come. - I only have an hour for lunch.

0:36:42 > 0:36:46And I'm supposed to be back at the office at 1.30.

0:36:46 > 0:36:50It'll only take a few minutes. I promise.

0:36:50 > 0:36:51Please?

0:37:06 > 0:37:08Say, what happened to that taxicab?

0:37:08 > 0:37:10What happened to the body?

0:37:10 > 0:37:13- They took it away. - "They"? Who's they?

0:37:13 > 0:37:15Uncle will explain everything.

0:37:23 > 0:37:25- Hello, Tyler. - How do you do?

0:37:25 > 0:37:27- Tell my uncle Mr Mitty is here. - Yes, Miss van Hoorn.

0:37:27 > 0:37:30We'll wait in the library.

0:37:48 > 0:37:50He'll only be a moment.

0:38:04 > 0:38:07Gee, that's pretty. The picture, Do you mind if I look at it?

0:38:07 > 0:38:08Of course not.

0:38:18 > 0:38:21SHE PLAYS A TUNE ON THE PIANO

0:38:36 > 0:38:38HE GASPS

0:38:43 > 0:38:45Do you like it?

0:38:46 > 0:38:48- Oh, I love it. - It's always frightened me.

0:38:49 > 0:38:51Oh, I thought...

0:38:51 > 0:38:55That's my favourite song, Beautiful Dreamer. I like the way you play it.

0:38:55 > 0:38:57Mr Van Hoorn is waiting in the solarium.

0:38:57 > 0:38:59Thank you, Tyler.

0:39:11 > 0:39:14- Hello, Uncle. - Hello, my dear.

0:39:14 > 0:39:16Uncle Peter, this is Mr Mitty.

0:39:16 > 0:39:18- How are you, Mr Mitty? - Fine, thank you.

0:39:18 > 0:39:20You are the young man who was so kind to my niece this morning.

0:39:20 > 0:39:22Oh, I really didn't do anything.

0:39:22 > 0:39:24- You'll have a cup of tea with us. - Tea?

0:39:24 > 0:39:26- Yes, please do. - All right.

0:39:26 > 0:39:28Pardon me.

0:39:30 > 0:39:32- Gee, these are beautiful. - You like flowers?

0:39:32 > 0:39:35Well, Mother likes them. We're raising snapdragons now.

0:39:35 > 0:39:39Only, I brought back petunias instead. So I have to exchange them.

0:39:39 > 0:39:41You know these bulbs came from Holland?

0:39:41 > 0:39:43Oh, did they?

0:39:43 > 0:39:45We get ours from Gerber's Feed Store.

0:39:45 > 0:39:46Personally, I'd rather raise radishes.

0:39:46 > 0:39:48They grow so fast, and you can eat them.

0:39:48 > 0:39:51- You like yours with cream? - No. Just salt.

0:39:54 > 0:39:56No. No cream. Thank you.

0:39:56 > 0:39:58I thought she meant the radishes.

0:39:58 > 0:40:00- Please sit down. - Yes.

0:40:03 > 0:40:06- Here you are, Uncle. - Thank you, my dear.

0:40:33 > 0:40:35The cover fell down.

0:40:36 > 0:40:38There we are.

0:40:38 > 0:40:40I asked Rosalind to bring you here,

0:40:40 > 0:40:44because I wanted to tell you that your life is in danger.

0:40:46 > 0:40:47Danger?

0:40:47 > 0:40:50You were present when poor Maasdam was murdered this morning.

0:40:50 > 0:40:52But that was a coincidence! I was at the pier...

0:40:52 > 0:40:55Just the same, Mr Mitty. You were there.

0:40:55 > 0:40:58- And they might try to kill you too. - Why?

0:40:58 > 0:41:02Mr Mitty, I can see that you are a man of great courage.

0:41:03 > 0:41:05Would you like more tea?

0:41:05 > 0:41:07Yes, thank you.

0:41:07 > 0:41:10Since you have already become involved,

0:41:10 > 0:41:13it may be necessary for you to face even greater danger.

0:41:13 > 0:41:15It may, huh? Well...

0:41:15 > 0:41:18- I think he should know all the facts.- I think I should too.

0:41:18 > 0:41:22Uncle Peter was curator of the Royal Netherlands Museum in Rotterdam.

0:41:22 > 0:41:25- He was? - He left before the German invasion.

0:41:25 > 0:41:28That seems like the most reasonable time.

0:41:28 > 0:41:30But before I escaped,

0:41:30 > 0:41:33I managed to see that all of our great art treasures,

0:41:33 > 0:41:35were concealed in hundreds of obscure places.

0:41:35 > 0:41:37Then there's nothing to worry about.

0:41:37 > 0:41:38Yes, there is.

0:41:38 > 0:41:43The hiding place of each article was recorded in a little black book.

0:41:43 > 0:41:45The Boot will do anything to get it.

0:41:45 > 0:41:47The Boot?

0:41:47 > 0:41:50- Who's the Boot? - His real name is Wilhelm Krug.

0:41:50 > 0:41:52That's why Maasdam was murdered this morning.

0:41:52 > 0:41:56- I see.- Krug thought that Maasdam had the book.

0:41:56 > 0:42:00- Oh. Well then, who has it? - Nobody knows.

0:42:01 > 0:42:03But if the Boot thought you had it,

0:42:03 > 0:42:05he'd cut your throat in a second.

0:42:07 > 0:42:11Let's notify the OPA. I mean, the FBI.

0:42:12 > 0:42:15Uncle has already notified them.

0:42:15 > 0:42:17They're working together with the Dutch Secret Police.

0:42:17 > 0:42:20I can understand your alarm.

0:42:20 > 0:42:23But the police are very efficient.

0:42:23 > 0:42:25The minute you are killed,

0:42:25 > 0:42:28they'll double their efforts.

0:42:28 > 0:42:31Yes. Of course. That's very reassuring.

0:42:31 > 0:42:35But I am, I must be running along now. I have so much shopping to do.

0:42:35 > 0:42:39As a precaution, say nothing about this matter to anyone.

0:42:39 > 0:42:41Even your loved ones.

0:42:41 > 0:42:44Of course, you can trust me, Mr Van Hoorn.

0:42:44 > 0:42:46- I won't say... - Goodbye.

0:42:46 > 0:42:48- Goodbye. - You're very brave.

0:42:48 > 0:42:49Thank you.

0:42:49 > 0:42:50HE SCREAMS

0:42:52 > 0:42:53Bye.

0:43:05 > 0:43:07- May I help you, sir? - Yes, ma'am.

0:43:07 > 0:43:09I have some things here.

0:43:10 > 0:43:14I'd like some "Dutch crown jewels. "The diamond collection..."

0:43:14 > 0:43:17Jewellery department on the fifth floor.

0:43:17 > 0:43:19"Diamond collection, House of Orange?"

0:43:19 > 0:43:21"Vandermeer originals?"

0:43:21 > 0:43:24Mister, this is the pet department.

0:43:24 > 0:43:25Pet...

0:43:29 > 0:43:31Oh, the black book!

0:43:46 > 0:43:48- How do you do?- Was there something else you wished?

0:43:49 > 0:43:52Yes. I'll have some of these dog biscuits.

0:44:08 > 0:44:12I always eat them. They contain vitamin B1.

0:44:24 > 0:44:27- You forgot your change, sir. - Oh, thank you very much.

0:44:27 > 0:44:30These are lovely leashes, aren't they?

0:44:30 > 0:44:33Oh, yes. Lovely. Lovely leashes.

0:44:38 > 0:44:40- How much are these muzzles? - Three dollars.

0:44:40 > 0:44:43Three dollars? One, two, Thank you.

0:44:43 > 0:44:46- Shall I have it wrapped, sir? - No.

0:44:46 > 0:44:48I'll wear it home.

0:45:07 > 0:45:09HE GASPS

0:45:09 > 0:45:10In more controlled figures...

0:45:12 > 0:45:14Oh, How do you do?

0:45:14 > 0:45:16How do you do?

0:45:16 > 0:45:18Won't you sit down?

0:45:19 > 0:45:21Thank you...

0:45:26 > 0:45:30Notice, ladies, the exquisite line and the smooth contour.

0:45:30 > 0:45:33The featherweight quality's achieved by using satin and bengaline,

0:45:33 > 0:45:34with a chiffon trimming.

0:45:34 > 0:45:36Specifically designed for...

0:45:38 > 0:45:41I think you'd be able to see better from the front.

0:45:42 > 0:45:47No, thank you very much. I've got to make a phone call. Excuse me.

0:46:04 > 0:46:06Clarissa, would you mind coming in here a minute?

0:46:06 > 0:46:08Yes, Miss Blair.

0:46:09 > 0:46:11These nightgowns go in the early delivery today.

0:46:11 > 0:46:13And this corset goes to Mrs Follinsbee.

0:46:13 > 0:46:16Be sure that it makes the afternoon delivery tomorrow.

0:46:16 > 0:46:18- I will.- Thank you.

0:46:22 > 0:46:24ALL TALK AT ONCE

0:46:25 > 0:46:29Just a minute! What are you doing in here?

0:46:29 > 0:46:32Excuse me.

0:46:32 > 0:46:36- Is this the hardware department? - You know this isn't!

0:46:36 > 0:46:38Get out of here, you Peeping Tom!

0:46:38 > 0:46:41HE MUMBLES

0:46:41 > 0:46:43Excuse me, ma'am.

0:46:43 > 0:46:44ALL TALK AT ONCE

0:47:48 > 0:47:49HE GASPS

0:47:58 > 0:48:01This idea for pocket-size editions came to me about two years ago.

0:48:01 > 0:48:04And I've given it considerable thought.

0:48:04 > 0:48:07There are four values to pocket-size editions.

0:48:07 > 0:48:09One - they fit into the pocket.

0:48:09 > 0:48:12Two - I have behind me a well-geared organisation,

0:48:12 > 0:48:16of sober, industrious employees who...

0:48:20 > 0:48:22- Mitty!- Help!

0:48:22 > 0:48:24Get that thing out of here!

0:48:24 > 0:48:25Mitty!

0:48:25 > 0:48:27Elmer, shoo!

0:48:27 > 0:48:30What in thunderation do you think you're doing?

0:48:30 > 0:48:32I was trying to get away from somebody.

0:48:32 > 0:48:36There's a man following me. He had terrible eyes and a long knife.

0:48:36 > 0:48:37I'll explain it all to you later.

0:48:37 > 0:48:40Elmer. Go! Come on! Out!

0:48:40 > 0:48:42Go away, Elmer. That's it.

0:48:42 > 0:48:45I'm sorry. I know how busy you are.

0:48:45 > 0:48:48So I don't like to disturb you...

0:48:48 > 0:48:50Pardon, Excuse me.

0:48:54 > 0:48:56Mitty!

0:48:59 > 0:49:01Is Mr Van Hoorn or his niece at home?

0:49:02 > 0:49:05Do you know what time they'll be back? It's very important.

0:49:07 > 0:49:10I see. Well, would you leave a message that Mr Mitty called.

0:49:11 > 0:49:14I know of a way to kill a man and leave no trace.

0:49:14 > 0:49:17Excuse me. I'll be with you in just a moment.

0:49:23 > 0:49:25Who are you?

0:49:25 > 0:49:28Dr Hugo Hollingshead. I have a manuscript,

0:49:28 > 0:49:32that contains the most ingenious method for the perpetration of homicide.

0:49:34 > 0:49:36I'm afraid you have the wrong office, Dr Homicide.

0:49:36 > 0:49:40- Mr Pierce buys all the stories. - Mr Pierce told me to see you.

0:49:40 > 0:49:42Oh? Well, would you have a chair?

0:49:42 > 0:49:45Did you know that an icicle inserted into the brain,

0:49:45 > 0:49:48will melt slowly and leave no trace?

0:49:49 > 0:49:51It's been done. Sorry. Would you...

0:49:51 > 0:49:54Perhaps you'd be interested in a different method?

0:49:54 > 0:49:59The sensory nerve at the base of the skull is vulnerable to an assassin.

0:49:59 > 0:50:01One merely presses with the thumbs, thus...

0:50:03 > 0:50:07The resultant brain haemorrhage produces instantaneous death

0:50:07 > 0:50:10- without a clue. - That's very good, Doctor.

0:50:10 > 0:50:14But we used the sensory nerve in The Gland Specialist's Revenge.

0:50:14 > 0:50:16Excuse me, won't you?

0:50:16 > 0:50:18What you don't know,

0:50:18 > 0:50:23is that the base of the brain is a very sensitive place.

0:50:23 > 0:50:26As you can see, the only weapon is the human hand.

0:50:30 > 0:50:32Hey, wait a minute! Put that book...

0:50:35 > 0:50:37Help!

0:50:39 > 0:50:42- Give me that vest! - Help!

0:50:42 > 0:50:44Give me my vest!

0:50:52 > 0:50:54Help!

0:50:56 > 0:51:01In Hospital Love Stories, as in all other of our publications,

0:51:01 > 0:51:02action will be the key note.

0:51:02 > 0:51:06Action! Thrills! The unexpected.

0:51:06 > 0:51:09Of course, the medical aspects would be respected.

0:51:09 > 0:51:11And a competent...

0:51:11 > 0:51:14A competent staff of research men...

0:51:14 > 0:51:16Yes, Mr McClure? Any question?

0:51:16 > 0:51:17No questions.

0:51:17 > 0:51:21A competent staff of research men...

0:51:21 > 0:51:22Mitty!

0:51:23 > 0:51:26What in confounded tarnation are you and that pigeon trying to do?

0:51:26 > 0:51:28Listen to me!

0:51:28 > 0:51:31I was hanging by my hands! A tall doctor pushed me out the window!

0:51:31 > 0:51:34- What is this? What tall doctor? - The one you sent to tell me the story!

0:51:34 > 0:51:36He didn't come to tell my any story! He came to push me out the window!

0:51:36 > 0:51:39I didn't send anyone to throw you out of the window!

0:51:39 > 0:51:41I've got more important things to do!

0:51:41 > 0:51:42- Well, here's his vest. - Who's vest?

0:51:42 > 0:51:44- The man you sent... - Mitty!

0:51:44 > 0:51:46I don't know whether you're drunk or crazy!

0:51:46 > 0:51:49Throw that pigeon out, and you get out of here!

0:51:49 > 0:51:51- I'll talk to you later. - I'm sorry, Mr Pierce.

0:51:51 > 0:51:53Excuse me!

0:51:53 > 0:51:55So sorry.

0:51:55 > 0:51:57Get out of here, Mitty! Get out!

0:51:57 > 0:51:58I'm sorry, Mr Pierce!

0:52:03 > 0:52:05- I'm terribly sorry! - Mitty!

0:52:08 > 0:52:10Get out!

0:52:12 > 0:52:14GLASS SHATTERS

0:52:14 > 0:52:16HE LAUGHS NERVOUSLY

0:52:16 > 0:52:17Get out!

0:52:19 > 0:52:21You know very well, if you're going to get married,

0:52:21 > 0:52:23you'll just have to ask for a raise.

0:52:23 > 0:52:26Put those flowers in water for me, will you, dear?

0:52:27 > 0:52:28What was that?

0:52:28 > 0:52:31- What was what? - The clock didn't strike.

0:52:31 > 0:52:34I definitely heard it not strike.

0:52:34 > 0:52:36Will you please take it to Kudners on Sixth Avenue?

0:52:36 > 0:52:39They fixed Gertrude's metronome. They can fix anything.

0:52:39 > 0:52:41But don't say you'll do it and then not do it.

0:52:41 > 0:52:44I'll do it tomorrow afternoon.

0:52:44 > 0:52:46Walter! Not in the lemonade! For heaven's sake!

0:52:46 > 0:52:50What's the matter with you? You've been in a daze all evening.

0:52:52 > 0:52:54Mother,

0:52:54 > 0:52:58if a fellow was a witness to a murder, and he was told not to say anything,

0:52:58 > 0:53:00not even to his loved ones...

0:53:01 > 0:53:02..what should he do about it?

0:53:02 > 0:53:06Can't you forget those stories of yours for a moment?

0:53:06 > 0:53:07DOORBELL BUZZES

0:53:07 > 0:53:09They've brought Tubby Wadsworth. Put your coat on, darling.

0:53:09 > 0:53:12Put it on, and get rid of that paper.

0:53:12 > 0:53:14Tubby Wadsworth.

0:53:16 > 0:53:18- Anybody home? - Irmagarde!

0:53:18 > 0:53:21- My! What a stunning hat! - Thank you.

0:53:21 > 0:53:23- And Gertrude dear. - Hello, Mother Mitty.

0:53:23 > 0:53:25- Take your things off. - All right.

0:53:25 > 0:53:27And Tubby Wadsworth.

0:53:27 > 0:53:29Gertrude brought me and left Queenie home.

0:53:29 > 0:53:31How do I look as a lap dog? Woof! Woof!

0:53:33 > 0:53:35- Hiya, Walt, old boy. - Hello, Tubby.

0:53:38 > 0:53:40Brought you a present.

0:53:40 > 0:53:43- First edition. - Well! Gee, thanks.

0:53:43 > 0:53:47What is it? Tubby's so thoughtful.

0:53:47 > 0:53:50Well, isn't this wonderful.

0:53:51 > 0:53:55THEY LAUGH

0:53:55 > 0:53:57Walter, you look so silly!

0:53:57 > 0:53:59Little gadget I picked up at a magic store.

0:53:59 > 0:54:02Sneezing powder! It's a howl, isn't it?

0:54:02 > 0:54:04Sure is.

0:54:06 > 0:54:08- Guess what, Eunice. - What?

0:54:08 > 0:54:11We have the Reverend Thomas for Saturday!

0:54:11 > 0:54:12- No! - Thanks to Tubby.

0:54:12 > 0:54:15Well, you know what they say, "Unlucky in love, lucky in cards."

0:54:15 > 0:54:18- What are we waiting for? - You four play the first rubber.

0:54:18 > 0:54:21Let's play for a 25th of a cent and settle for half.

0:54:21 > 0:54:23Oh, no, dear. No gambling. Let's keep it social.

0:54:23 > 0:54:26Cut for deal.

0:54:26 > 0:54:28- King. Ten. - Three.- Two.

0:54:28 > 0:54:30Pass those.

0:54:30 > 0:54:32Care for some lady fingers, Tubby?

0:54:32 > 0:54:34Only yours, Juliet.

0:54:40 > 0:54:41HE SNEEZES

0:54:42 > 0:54:44Let's play some bridge.

0:54:44 > 0:54:48- One no trump. - Pass.

0:54:48 > 0:54:50Five diamonds.

0:54:50 > 0:54:52- Pass. - Five diamonds?

0:54:53 > 0:54:55Six no trump.

0:54:55 > 0:54:58- Pass.- By.

0:54:58 > 0:54:59Pass.

0:54:59 > 0:55:01Your lead, Walt.

0:55:06 > 0:55:08How's that, partner?

0:55:15 > 0:55:17Grand slam.

0:55:17 > 0:55:20Slough the two hearts on the diamonds and the spades are good.

0:55:20 > 0:55:22You could have set me if you'd have led a heart.

0:55:22 > 0:55:24Walter's trouble is he doesn't concentrate.

0:55:24 > 0:55:27Card sense is like business sense. Don't have one, you don't have the other!

0:55:27 > 0:55:30That's what I'm always telling you, Walter.

0:55:32 > 0:55:34Your deal.

0:55:50 > 0:55:53'Cool as a cucumber,

0:55:53 > 0:55:55'Gaylord Mitty, the Mississippi gambler,

0:55:55 > 0:55:58'puffed nonchalantly on a handmade Havana.'

0:56:02 > 0:56:03Raise.

0:56:11 > 0:56:12Once again, sir.

0:56:20 > 0:56:23The deed to my plantation.

0:56:23 > 0:56:26Call. Three kings.

0:56:28 > 0:56:30I believe I have three bullets, sir.

0:56:32 > 0:56:34Lady Luck hasn't been smiling upon you, Colonel Wadsworth.

0:56:40 > 0:56:42One more hand, Mitty.

0:56:42 > 0:56:46With what, Colonel? Ginger snaps?

0:56:46 > 0:56:48I know you're in love with my fiancee.

0:56:50 > 0:56:52I'll play you one hand for her.

0:56:53 > 0:56:55You'd pluck a star from the heavens,

0:56:55 > 0:56:58and fling it on the soiled cloth of a gaming table?

0:56:58 > 0:57:01If I lose, I'll... I'll go north.

0:57:02 > 0:57:03Is it a wager?

0:57:06 > 0:57:08It's a wager, sir.

0:57:50 > 0:57:52THEY COUGH

0:57:52 > 0:57:55I'm terribly sorry, ladies.

0:57:59 > 0:58:00Your pleasure, sir.

0:58:00 > 0:58:02I'll play these.

0:58:08 > 0:58:11Reckon this is one hand you won't win.

0:58:11 > 0:58:14This time I got the three aces.

0:58:15 > 0:58:18That's mighty strange, Colonel.

0:58:18 > 0:58:19I have four aces.

0:58:23 > 0:58:26Why, you cheating dog!

0:58:29 > 0:58:31Careful, Wadsworth.

0:58:31 > 0:58:33These things have been known to go off.

0:59:02 > 0:59:05'The plink of banjos could be heard over the paddle wheels,

0:59:05 > 0:59:08'as they went ta-pocketa, ta-pocketa,

0:59:08 > 0:59:10'in the moonlit water.

0:59:10 > 0:59:14'Gaylord Mitty squared his enormous shoulders,

0:59:14 > 0:59:16'and called her name softly.'

0:59:16 > 0:59:20Miss Gertrude? 'It was a touching moment.'

0:59:20 > 0:59:23Oh. It's you.

0:59:30 > 0:59:34- I have the honour to inform you... - I have already been informed.

0:59:35 > 0:59:38I suppose you've come to collect your bet,

0:59:38 > 0:59:40you unspeakable riverboat gambler.

0:59:40 > 0:59:43I have no intention of holding a lady to any such bargain.

0:59:45 > 0:59:48Here's the deed to the plantation stolen from your father.

0:59:52 > 0:59:54Oh, Gaylord.

0:59:54 > 0:59:57Try to think kindly of me when,

0:59:57 > 0:59:59when I'm away.

0:59:59 > 1:00:01Away?

1:00:01 > 1:00:03Fort Sumter has been fired upon.

1:00:05 > 1:00:07My regiment leaves at dawn.

1:00:07 > 1:00:11Oh, Gaylord! How I've misjudged you!

1:00:11 > 1:00:15I know it's too much to hope for, ma'am, but if you'll wait...

1:00:15 > 1:00:18For ever, Gaylord. For ever.

1:00:24 > 1:00:26Swallow them up, old Mississippi.

1:00:26 > 1:00:28This is my last deal.

1:00:32 > 1:00:35Come on, Walt! Finish the deal!

1:00:40 > 1:00:41HE SNEEZES

1:00:41 > 1:00:43Walter, what's the matter with you?

1:00:51 > 1:00:52Oh, Mr Mitty?

1:00:58 > 1:01:00It's really you.

1:01:00 > 1:01:03- You phoned yesterday. - Yes, I called,

1:01:06 > 1:01:08I wanted to tell you I found the book you were looking for.

1:01:08 > 1:01:11- It was on me! - Thank heavens.

1:01:11 > 1:01:12Where is it?

1:01:12 > 1:01:14- I stuck it in a lady's corset. - What?

1:01:14 > 1:01:18A lady's corset that was being delivered from Stacey's department store.

1:01:18 > 1:01:20The lady's name was Follinsbee.

1:01:20 > 1:01:23You had the book, and you let it out of your hands?

1:01:23 > 1:01:25I had to! A man was chasing me with a long knife,

1:01:25 > 1:01:28and another man tried to push me out of a window!

1:01:28 > 1:01:29I've been through a lot!

1:01:29 > 1:01:32Well, we must find it! Come show me where you put it.

1:01:32 > 1:01:34I can't. I've got a dinner party at 6:30.

1:01:34 > 1:01:36I've got to meet my mother and lots of other people.

1:01:36 > 1:01:40And by the time I get this clock dropped off at Sixth Avenue, I...

1:01:40 > 1:01:43It won't strike. Mother's used to hearing it strike.

1:01:43 > 1:01:46It keeps her awake, and it's gotta be...

1:01:46 > 1:01:49Oh, please, Miss van Hoorn. Please don't cry.

1:01:49 > 1:01:51I'm sorry.

1:01:51 > 1:01:53It's just I'm so alone in all of this.

1:01:53 > 1:01:56Uncle's helpless, and I don't know where to turn.

1:01:56 > 1:01:58Well, it shouldn't be too hard to find.

1:01:58 > 1:02:01I'll do anything I can to help.

1:02:01 > 1:02:03- Would you?- Sure.

1:02:03 > 1:02:05How many Follinsbees can there be?

1:02:06 > 1:02:08Let's look in the phone book.

1:02:17 > 1:02:20- Well, this looks like it. - Run up and check.

1:02:24 > 1:02:26- You won't need that! - It's Grandmother's clock.

1:02:26 > 1:02:30- I mustn't let anything happen to it.- I'll keep an eye on it.

1:02:31 > 1:02:34Hurry. I'll stay down here in case anything happens.

1:02:34 > 1:02:36All right.

1:02:36 > 1:02:38- What do you think'll happen? - Please hurry!

1:02:46 > 1:02:50- It's Follinsbee, all right! - Well, knock on the door.

1:02:50 > 1:02:53- Hmm?- Knock on the door!

1:02:55 > 1:02:56Oh!

1:02:56 > 1:02:59I'm terribly sorry!

1:02:59 > 1:03:02- Is your name Follinsbee? - That's right. What do you want?

1:03:03 > 1:03:06Would you mind very much if I looked in your wife's corset?

1:03:06 > 1:03:08What?

1:03:08 > 1:03:09I mean, yesterday I slipped something into her corset.

1:03:09 > 1:03:12I... How do you do?

1:03:12 > 1:03:15- Do you know this guy? - Never saw him before.

1:03:16 > 1:03:18Oh, you don't...

1:03:25 > 1:03:28So help me, Harry! I never saw the guy before in my life!

1:03:28 > 1:03:30Get out of here or I'll knock your teeth in.

1:03:32 > 1:03:33HE MOUTHS

1:03:51 > 1:03:55Please, Harry! I swear! He doesn't mean a thing!

1:04:13 > 1:04:15- This isn't a corset. - What is it?

1:04:15 > 1:04:17It's a nightgown.

1:04:17 > 1:04:20I'd better take it back to that fellow. I've caused him enough trouble.

1:04:27 > 1:04:31I'm sorry to trouble you, but I thought I'd better return your wife's nightgown.

1:04:31 > 1:04:33Why, you!

1:04:35 > 1:04:37Wrong Follinsbee!

1:04:51 > 1:04:55"Mrs Letitia Follinsbee, 949 Fifth Avenue."

1:04:55 > 1:04:56She must work here.

1:05:03 > 1:05:06Forgot your keys.

1:05:06 > 1:05:08Gee, those are pretty. Wooden shoes, huh?

1:05:08 > 1:05:10I've had them for years.

1:05:10 > 1:05:12They're supposed to ward off evil.

1:05:12 > 1:05:15I should have been carrying them yesterday.

1:05:15 > 1:05:17Carry them now.

1:05:17 > 1:05:20No. These are gold. Why should you give them to me?

1:05:20 > 1:05:24Because you've been so kind, Walter.

1:05:25 > 1:05:28"Walter."

1:05:33 > 1:05:35I have a bag that matches these shoes exactly.

1:05:35 > 1:05:39- I wonder how much they are. - Girls! I didn't know you were out here.

1:05:39 > 1:05:41Mrs Follinsbee is waiting for you.

1:05:41 > 1:05:43You'll have to rush to change.

1:05:43 > 1:05:44You're terribly late.

1:05:54 > 1:05:58- What did the corset look like? - It was black and sort of filmy.

1:05:58 > 1:06:02And lacy around the neck with little yellow ribbons,

1:06:02 > 1:06:04or green or some colour.

1:06:04 > 1:06:05You wait here.

1:06:09 > 1:06:11May I seat you, sir?

1:06:11 > 1:06:13Right over here.

1:06:32 > 1:06:34Now, girls. Take these corsets.

1:06:36 > 1:06:38And you 12s wear these.

1:06:40 > 1:06:42Rush, girls! And start dressing.

1:06:43 > 1:06:45I'm sorry, but black helps brings out the best in me.

1:06:47 > 1:06:48Welcome.

1:06:49 > 1:06:52I can't tell you how proud I am,

1:06:52 > 1:06:55to present Anatole of Paris.

1:06:55 > 1:06:59APPLAUSE

1:07:04 > 1:07:05Alors.

1:07:06 > 1:07:10This is the first appearance of my latest creation...

1:07:12 > 1:07:14Venetian mirror hat.

1:07:18 > 1:07:22A grey turban studded with diamonds.

1:07:22 > 1:07:26And on the top, Prince of Wales ostrich tips.

1:07:28 > 1:07:30Cocktails for two.

1:07:30 > 1:07:32I call this one the rain hat,

1:07:32 > 1:07:35because it looks like a fountain.

1:07:35 > 1:07:36And when you buy it,

1:07:36 > 1:07:38you get soaked.

1:07:38 > 1:07:42It is entirely made of black aigrettes,

1:07:42 > 1:07:45with a diamond band in case you go slumming.

1:07:48 > 1:07:50For the woman of mystery.

1:07:50 > 1:07:54A touch of the Arabian with Grecian simplicity.

1:07:54 > 1:07:57A "sheik" that is truly "chic."

1:07:57 > 1:08:00Made of jersey, carrying its own capelet,

1:08:00 > 1:08:03and giving madam the muffled look.

1:08:03 > 1:08:08And now my piece de resistance.

1:08:08 > 1:08:10Watch.

1:08:10 > 1:08:13First, the pin.

1:08:15 > 1:08:18Then, the brim.

1:08:23 > 1:08:25Then,

1:08:25 > 1:08:26back with the pin.

1:08:28 > 1:08:29Voila.

1:08:30 > 1:08:32The striptease hat.

1:08:32 > 1:08:34APPLAUSE

1:08:37 > 1:08:40'Now, before I continue with the rest of my hats,

1:08:40 > 1:08:43'I would like you to know how I started in this business.'

1:08:47 > 1:08:50# It all began when I was born

1:08:50 > 1:08:52# A month too soon

1:08:53 > 1:08:58# My Ma was frightened by a runaway saloon

1:09:00 > 1:09:02# Pa was forced to be a hobo

1:09:02 > 1:09:03# Because he played the oboe

1:09:03 > 1:09:07# And the oboe, it is clearly understood

1:09:07 > 1:09:12# Is an ill wind that no-one blows good

1:09:13 > 1:09:16# I'll never forget the morning that Grandpa ate the awning

1:09:16 > 1:09:21# To impress a pretty lady who went for men that were shady

1:09:21 > 1:09:26# Then my uncle, Aunt Mary went on a safari

1:09:26 > 1:09:28# To Calcutta

1:09:28 > 1:09:30# Bombay

1:09:30 > 1:09:32# India

1:09:32 > 1:09:35# Tracking through the trackless jungle

1:09:38 > 1:09:39Hello, Tide.

1:09:39 > 1:09:41Hi, Noon.

1:09:41 > 1:09:43# And I'm the result of the twisted eugenics

1:09:43 > 1:09:45Of this family of inbred schizophrenics

1:09:45 > 1:09:48# The end of a long, long line of bats... #

1:09:48 > 1:09:49HE LAUGHS

1:10:12 > 1:10:15# My hat of the week caused six divorces

1:10:41 > 1:10:42HE LAUGHS

1:10:42 > 1:10:44# It's how I pull and chew on it

1:10:44 > 1:10:48# The little things I do on it

1:10:48 > 1:10:52# Like placing yards of lacing or a bicycle built for two on it

1:10:53 > 1:10:56# The little ones, the big ones The sat-on-by-a-pig ones

1:10:56 > 1:10:58# The foolish ones that perch

1:10:58 > 1:11:00# And the ghoulish ones that lurch

1:15:54 > 1:15:56Come into the kitchen.

1:16:04 > 1:16:07You're catching cold. Here. You'd better sit by the stove.

1:16:09 > 1:16:11I'll light the oven.

1:16:17 > 1:16:19You'd better take those wet shoes off.

1:16:19 > 1:16:21I'll make some tea for you.

1:16:30 > 1:16:31Walter?

1:16:33 > 1:16:36Shh. Wait a minute. I'll be right down.

1:16:39 > 1:16:41Walter?

1:16:45 > 1:16:46Walter!

1:16:49 > 1:16:52What in the world are you doing? Where was that music coming from?

1:16:52 > 1:16:56The music? Oh! I was just playing the piano, Mother.

1:16:56 > 1:16:58Playing the piano?

1:17:00 > 1:17:02You can't play the piano!

1:17:02 > 1:17:04I know.

1:17:04 > 1:17:09But it sort of helps me relax when it's lightning and thundering and things.

1:17:09 > 1:17:12You just march right into bed and do your relaxing there!

1:17:13 > 1:17:16Good night, Mother. Good night, Gertrude.

1:17:16 > 1:17:18Good night, Mrs Griswold.

1:17:22 > 1:17:25Well, a lot of people play the piano when they can't sleep.

1:17:25 > 1:17:28- It's a well-known fact. Good night. BOTH:- Good night.

1:17:42 > 1:17:43KETTLE WHISTLES

1:17:55 > 1:17:57HE WHISTLES

1:18:13 > 1:18:15- Walter, what are you doing out here?- Whistling.

1:18:15 > 1:18:18The rain is making too much noise to whistle in there.

1:18:20 > 1:18:23I was trying to remember the way our old high school song went.

1:18:23 > 1:18:26- # Fight on for Perth Amboy High...- #

1:18:26 > 1:18:29HE WHISTLES

1:18:29 > 1:18:31Walter, will you please go to bed!

1:18:36 > 1:18:38Good night, Mother. Good night, Gertrude.

1:18:38 > 1:18:40Good night, Mrs Griswold.

1:18:44 > 1:18:47It's funny. Walter can never go to sleep when he tries to think of something,

1:18:47 > 1:18:49and can't remember.

1:18:49 > 1:18:53His father was the same way. Up half the night.

1:18:53 > 1:18:55- Good night. BOTH:- Good night.

1:18:59 > 1:19:02Mother, what if he acts that way after we're married?

1:19:02 > 1:19:05We'll handle him. It's just that he wasn't properly raised.

1:19:05 > 1:19:07Tubby keeps on proposing.

1:19:07 > 1:19:09Maybe I'm making a mistake!

1:19:15 > 1:19:17THUNDER RUMBLES

1:19:27 > 1:19:30- Gee, you brought another dress! - It's my slip.

1:19:30 > 1:19:31Slip.

1:19:31 > 1:19:34Well, it looks like an evening gown on you.

1:19:36 > 1:19:38Would you like another cup of tea?

1:19:38 > 1:19:40No, thanks. I must hurry and get the book to Uncle.

1:19:40 > 1:19:43- May I have it, please? - Well, it's upstairs. I'll get it.

1:19:43 > 1:19:45Only, will you be all right?

1:19:45 > 1:19:48- You weren't followed or anything? - No. I'll be all right.

1:19:48 > 1:19:50Good. I wouldn't want you to meet those two fellows.

1:19:50 > 1:19:52You should see that knife! It was...

1:19:53 > 1:19:55- I'm going with you. - No, Walter. That's sweet but...

1:19:55 > 1:19:58No. I'll go with you. You leave this way, and I'll meet you out front.

1:19:58 > 1:20:01- But you've done enough for me.- No.

1:20:01 > 1:20:03Anyone would have done the same thing in my shoes.

1:20:06 > 1:20:08I'll get my shoes and get the book too.

1:20:13 > 1:20:14Oh, Tyler. Where's Uncle Peter?

1:20:14 > 1:20:16He's in the library, miss.

1:20:23 > 1:20:25Uncle, we have it! We have the book!

1:20:25 > 1:20:29- The book! - And we have Walter to thank.

1:20:29 > 1:20:30It was nothing.

1:20:32 > 1:20:34Mr Mitty, I don't know what to say.

1:20:34 > 1:20:38I don't know how to repay you. Holland will be eternally grateful.

1:20:38 > 1:20:41Well, I really didn't do anything.

1:20:41 > 1:20:43It's lucky I found out where Walter lived.

1:20:43 > 1:20:44Very fortunate.

1:20:44 > 1:20:48You don't know what this means to me, my dear.

1:20:48 > 1:20:50I think I do.

1:20:50 > 1:20:52Come and join me.

1:20:52 > 1:20:54This calls for a celebration.

1:20:54 > 1:20:56And you've been through a great deal.

1:20:56 > 1:21:00Mother doesn't like me to drink very much, but maybe just a little one.

1:21:00 > 1:21:04- Now, where is the book? - Yes, Walter. Give Uncle the book.

1:21:05 > 1:21:08- I gave it to you in the car. - Yes, but I returned it.

1:21:08 > 1:21:10No, don't you remember?

1:21:10 > 1:21:12I said, "Here's the book." And you said, "Thank you, Walter."

1:21:12 > 1:21:13I said, "You're welcome..."

1:21:13 > 1:21:16Look through all your pockets. You must have it somewhere.

1:21:16 > 1:21:19No, I'm sure I gave it to you.

1:21:19 > 1:21:22We must have left it in the car. We'd better go look.

1:21:22 > 1:21:24Wait! Mr Mitty.

1:21:26 > 1:21:29- To Holland. - Yes. To Holland.

1:21:34 > 1:21:36- Hurry, Walter. - We'll be right back.

1:21:36 > 1:21:39You'd better put this raincoat on. It's still raining out.

1:21:57 > 1:22:00Walter, what happened?

1:22:00 > 1:22:01Wake up!

1:22:06 > 1:22:09- The Boot!- Where is the book, Rosalind?

1:22:15 > 1:22:17SHE SCREAMS

1:22:20 > 1:22:22Rosalind. Rosalind...

1:22:25 > 1:22:28Better put this raincoat on.

1:22:28 > 1:22:30It's still raining outside.

1:22:30 > 1:22:32He's coming to.

1:22:39 > 1:22:41Did you get it?

1:22:41 > 1:22:43Get what?

1:22:43 > 1:22:46- The black book. - Black book?

1:22:48 > 1:22:52Mother, what are you doing here? Where's Rosalind?

1:22:52 > 1:22:54Rosalind?

1:22:54 > 1:22:56Your niece.

1:22:56 > 1:22:58Young man. I have no niece.

1:22:59 > 1:23:01No niece?

1:23:01 > 1:23:03How long had he been crawling around your front lawn?

1:23:03 > 1:23:05Tyler found him at 7:00 this morning.

1:23:05 > 1:23:07- Eating the tulip bulbs. - Tulip bulbs!

1:23:07 > 1:23:11I'll pay for all the damages, Mr Van Hoorn.

1:23:11 > 1:23:12Mother!

1:23:12 > 1:23:15- He says he has no niece! - If he says he has no niece,

1:23:15 > 1:23:18- he should know! - But I know he has! Her name's Rosalind.

1:23:18 > 1:23:20She has blonde hair and is the prettiest girl I ever saw!

1:23:20 > 1:23:23I'm afraid he's suffering from some hallucination.

1:23:23 > 1:23:25I'm not suffering from anything! There is a black book!

1:23:25 > 1:23:27And a man was murdered in front of my eyes!

1:23:27 > 1:23:30Tuesday you invited me to lunch, and Rosalind was here!

1:23:30 > 1:23:31She was at that piano...

1:23:32 > 1:23:35I have never set eyes on you before in my life.

1:23:35 > 1:23:38- What do you mean, you... - Please don't make any more trouble!

1:23:38 > 1:23:40- I'm not making... - Now, Mitty!

1:23:40 > 1:23:42Pull yourself together! We have four magazines going to press!

1:23:42 > 1:23:46- I don't care!- Young man, you're beginning to exhaust my patience.

1:23:46 > 1:23:49You've destroyed property of mine. I could have you arrested.

1:23:49 > 1:23:51Now we can settle this amicably.

1:23:51 > 1:23:55I'll pay for all the tulips and send you a life subscription to Terror Stories.

1:23:55 > 1:23:58I've gotta find Rosalind. And don't pay him for any tulips!

1:23:58 > 1:24:01- I didn't eat a single one! Rosalind!- Don't get exited!

1:24:01 > 1:24:04- We'll get you to a doctor right away.- I'll telephone Dr Renshaw.

1:24:04 > 1:24:07- He took out Walter's tonsils. - Pardon me. If I may suggest.

1:24:07 > 1:24:09The boy needs not a physician, but a psychiatrist.

1:24:09 > 1:24:12- Psychiatrist! - I happen to know a very good one.

1:24:12 > 1:24:15- Name him, sir. Money's no object. - No! I'm going to find Rosalind.

1:24:15 > 1:24:18- Catch him!- I don't know what's happened to Walter!

1:24:18 > 1:24:20He's never run away from home, not even when he was little!

1:24:20 > 1:24:23- There, there. Mrs Mitty. - He's such a quiet boy.

1:24:23 > 1:24:24Yes, he...

1:24:24 > 1:24:26CLATTERING

1:24:30 > 1:24:33Oh, my poor dear! What have you done to him?

1:24:33 > 1:24:35He did it himself, madam.

1:24:38 > 1:24:42- What's that psychiatrist's name? - Dr Hugo Hollingshead.

1:24:48 > 1:24:50The doctor will see you now.

1:24:50 > 1:24:52Come along, Walter. Come on.

1:24:52 > 1:24:54I'm all right!

1:24:54 > 1:24:57I'm not crazy! I just don't want to...

1:24:59 > 1:25:03How do you do? Won't you come in?

1:25:03 > 1:25:07- That's him! That's Dr Hollingshead!- Of course it is.

1:25:07 > 1:25:09He's the one who pushed me out the window!

1:25:09 > 1:25:12Mother, he's a killer! He belongs to the gang!

1:25:12 > 1:25:14- Walter, please! - There, there, my boy.

1:25:14 > 1:25:15The doctor's not going to harm you.

1:25:15 > 1:25:18- I'm Mr Pierce. - I see. How do you do?

1:25:18 > 1:25:21- And this is Mrs Mitty, I take it? - Don't let him touch you!

1:25:21 > 1:25:23Call the police!

1:25:23 > 1:25:27Doctor, you've got to help us. Mitty is one of my key men.

1:25:27 > 1:25:29He was all right up to 48 hours ago, but then,

1:25:29 > 1:25:31Well, you can see.

1:25:31 > 1:25:33- He pushed me out of a window! - Walter, please!

1:25:33 > 1:25:36Do you think he's starved for vitamins?

1:25:36 > 1:25:38Calm yourself, my dear Mrs Mitty.

1:25:38 > 1:25:41- We'll give him a thorough examination.- No!

1:25:41 > 1:25:43What's the matter, fellow? Why don't you like me?

1:25:43 > 1:25:46Because you pushed me out of a window, that's why!

1:25:46 > 1:25:48But I've never seen you before.

1:25:48 > 1:25:50Possibly you're mistaking me for somebody else.

1:25:50 > 1:25:54No, I'm not! Nobody could look as much like you do as you do!

1:25:54 > 1:25:56You've got to get well! You're going to be married Sunday!

1:25:56 > 1:25:59Don't you understand? This man is a criminal!

1:25:59 > 1:26:01There's no reason he can't be back at his desk tomorrow!

1:26:01 > 1:26:03I'd rather speak to him alone. Would you mind?

1:26:03 > 1:26:06Please don't leave me, Mother. Mr Pierce, don't leave me alone with...

1:26:06 > 1:26:08Now, now, young man. There's nothing to be afraid of.

1:26:08 > 1:26:10Your mother will be right outside.

1:26:10 > 1:26:12- Will you, Mother? - Of course, darling.

1:26:12 > 1:26:14It's all right.

1:26:18 > 1:26:21Would you take your glasses off?

1:26:21 > 1:26:22Why, of course.

1:26:23 > 1:26:26Are you quite sure you didn't come to my office,

1:26:26 > 1:26:28and try to push me out of the window?

1:26:28 > 1:26:30What nonsense.

1:26:45 > 1:26:46I'm sorry.

1:26:46 > 1:26:49That's better. Sit down, boy.

1:26:55 > 1:26:57Now just lie down there and be comfortable.

1:26:57 > 1:27:00- Go ahead. - Can't you examine me standing up?

1:27:00 > 1:27:03It's necessary that you be completely relaxed.

1:27:03 > 1:27:05Now just lie right down there.

1:27:09 > 1:27:12Relax, boy!

1:27:13 > 1:27:15Now,

1:27:15 > 1:27:17close your eyes.

1:27:18 > 1:27:19The left one too.

1:27:21 > 1:27:24That's right. Now tell me all that's bothering you.

1:27:24 > 1:27:27Well, the day before yesterday,

1:27:27 > 1:27:29I met a girl.

1:27:29 > 1:27:32She looked like all the girls I've ever dreamed about.

1:27:32 > 1:27:34Don't you say he's crazy because he isn't!

1:27:34 > 1:27:37- Of course not. - He isn't imagining anything.

1:27:37 > 1:27:40What's so mysterious about a black book?

1:27:40 > 1:27:42It's just full of telephone numbers.

1:27:42 > 1:27:45- That proves he's normal. - Telephone numbers!

1:27:45 > 1:27:48And that Rosalind he's always screaming about, just one of the numbers.

1:27:48 > 1:27:51Mama, I want to go home!

1:27:52 > 1:27:54What's bothering you, honey?

1:27:54 > 1:27:57And what about the black book?

1:27:57 > 1:27:59That was gone too.

1:27:59 > 1:28:02It was in your possession when you came to the house?

1:28:02 > 1:28:04I thought I'd given it to Mr Van Hoorn's niece,

1:28:04 > 1:28:06but he said he had no niece.

1:28:10 > 1:28:12Why are you asking me all these questions?

1:28:12 > 1:28:17Because as a psychiatrist I must know your innermost mental processes.

1:28:18 > 1:28:20Tell me,

1:28:20 > 1:28:23what sort of business are you in?

1:28:23 > 1:28:25I'm a proofreader at the Pierce Publishing Company.

1:28:25 > 1:28:27I see.

1:28:28 > 1:28:31My boy, you're suffering from a romantic delusion,

1:28:31 > 1:28:34aggravated by overwork and incessant daydreaming.

1:28:35 > 1:28:38You mean, I, I dreamed the whole thing?

1:28:38 > 1:28:40Don't you see?

1:28:40 > 1:28:43You've obviously been affected by all these pulp magazines,

1:28:43 > 1:28:45that you're constantly proofreading.

1:28:47 > 1:28:50You've been frustrated all your life so you live in your daydreams.

1:28:50 > 1:28:54The heroine is always in danger. She's tied to a chair,

1:28:54 > 1:28:56bound and gagged.

1:28:56 > 1:28:58But she was so real.

1:28:59 > 1:29:02She had the prettiest mouth.

1:29:02 > 1:29:04Every time she touched me,

1:29:04 > 1:29:06I grew hot and cold.

1:29:12 > 1:29:14Rosalind!

1:29:24 > 1:29:25- What's the matter? - I just saw her!

1:29:25 > 1:29:27She was sitting in there!

1:29:28 > 1:29:30She was bound and gagged.

1:29:30 > 1:29:35My boy. I'm afraid you're in love with a girl who doesn't exist.

1:29:36 > 1:29:38They were right, I guess.

1:29:38 > 1:29:40- I daydream too much. - Exactly!

1:29:40 > 1:29:43And that can lead to serious complications.

1:29:43 > 1:29:45I had a patient here last week who was suffering,

1:29:45 > 1:29:48from the same sort of romantic delusions.

1:29:48 > 1:29:52- He was?- Yes. Poor fellow was in a bad state.

1:29:53 > 1:29:57No matter how a woman was dressed, he fancied he saw her in a bathing suit.

1:29:57 > 1:29:59Metaphilia, an extreme case, of course.

1:29:59 > 1:30:01Of course.

1:30:01 > 1:30:03- Yes, Doctor? - Miss Appleby.

1:30:03 > 1:30:05Will you bring me the charts on the Wilson case, please?

1:30:06 > 1:30:11- Certainly, Doctor. - You have a spot on your uniform!

1:30:12 > 1:30:14I'm sorry, Doctor. I'll change immediately.

1:30:19 > 1:30:22Did she really have a spot on her uniform?

1:30:22 > 1:30:26- Well, you saw it, didn't you? - Oh, sure. I saw it.

1:30:26 > 1:30:27It was an ink spot.

1:30:27 > 1:30:30- Mercurochrome. - Oh, yes.

1:30:30 > 1:30:32Mercurochrome. It looked like red ink.

1:30:32 > 1:30:34It was hardly noticeable, though...

1:30:35 > 1:30:37You didn't see any uniform.

1:30:38 > 1:30:42No. Oh, you're right. I saw her in a bathing suit.

1:30:42 > 1:30:45I've got metaphilia! What am I going to do?

1:30:45 > 1:30:47What you need is a good, long rest.

1:30:47 > 1:30:50But I'm getting married tomorrow!

1:30:50 > 1:30:52Capital! Go home and marry your Bertha!

1:30:52 > 1:30:55- Gertrude. - Gertrude. And forget all about it.

1:30:55 > 1:30:58You'll be a new man.

1:30:58 > 1:31:01I'm beginning to feel better already. Oh...

1:32:21 > 1:32:23The ring.

1:32:32 > 1:32:36She's alive! It's true! It wasn't a dream! These are her shoes!

1:32:36 > 1:32:38I was right! Van Hoorn's a crook!

1:32:38 > 1:32:40He's got her in that house! We've got to get her!

1:32:40 > 1:32:41Mitty!

1:32:41 > 1:32:45You'll have to go after him. He's going to molest that poor old man!

1:34:22 > 1:34:23Oh, Slim!

1:34:23 > 1:34:27- I'd start a-prayin' if I was you. - Why, you!

1:34:27 > 1:34:28GUNSHOT

1:35:08 > 1:35:11CAR HORNS BLARE

1:35:42 > 1:35:45- She's still suffering from shock. - Well, get her out of it!

1:35:45 > 1:35:48She's hidden that book somewhere in this house.

1:35:48 > 1:35:51How can we get information from a girl who can't open her mouth?

1:35:58 > 1:35:59Krug.

1:36:06 > 1:36:08Wait! I have a better idea.

1:36:09 > 1:36:14Our impetuous young man has come to rescue his lady in distress.

1:36:14 > 1:36:18Doctor, do you think that seeing the man she loves might bring her out of it?

1:36:18 > 1:36:21- It might. - Good.

1:36:21 > 1:36:23Then we will let him rescue her.

1:37:12 > 1:37:14OBJECTS CLATTER

1:38:09 > 1:38:11HE GASPS

1:38:14 > 1:38:16Don't come any closer!

1:38:20 > 1:38:22KNIFE HITS FLOOR

1:38:27 > 1:38:31All right, hophead. Start talking and talk fast.

1:38:32 > 1:38:34Where is she?

1:38:37 > 1:38:42You'd better start singing, lard face. One more move and I'll drive you.

1:38:42 > 1:38:44I'll drill you so full of lead...

1:39:03 > 1:39:06Rosalind! Rosalind!

1:39:07 > 1:39:10Rosalind! Rosalind! Rosalind!

1:39:10 > 1:39:13Oh, I just knew you were alive! I knew it!

1:39:13 > 1:39:15Walter, it's you.

1:39:15 > 1:39:19If they hurt you, I'll kill them like I did that lard face outside.

1:39:19 > 1:39:21Walter, my uncle...

1:39:21 > 1:39:24Rosalind, he's a murderer.

1:39:24 > 1:39:26I found out he isn't my uncle.

1:39:26 > 1:39:29- He's the Boot.- The Boot?

1:39:29 > 1:39:33I didn't know. I'd never seen my real uncle.

1:39:33 > 1:39:35It was the Boot that killed Maasdam.

1:39:35 > 1:39:39The Boot. We'd better get out of here.

1:39:42 > 1:39:44Come on, dear.

1:40:03 > 1:40:08Congratulations, Mr Mitty. You've aroused the sleeping beauty.

1:40:16 > 1:40:17- Turn on the light. - Where is it?

1:40:17 > 1:40:19- Over there. - Oh.

1:40:20 > 1:40:22Wait a minute.

1:40:26 > 1:40:29- This ought to hold them. - What are you doing?

1:40:29 > 1:40:32Well, this worked in The Shocking Case Of The Mad Electrician.

1:40:32 > 1:40:35I just wire this here, and turn this switch on,

1:40:35 > 1:40:37then when they put their hands on...

1:40:37 > 1:40:38ELECTRIC CURRENT BUZZES

1:40:40 > 1:40:41Ahhh!

1:40:44 > 1:40:46Ohhh...

1:40:50 > 1:40:52- Hurry! - Wait a minute.

1:40:59 > 1:41:01What are you doing?

1:41:01 > 1:41:04It's the Malay tiger trap. It works on tigers, it should work on people.

1:41:04 > 1:41:05We used this in The Elephant Boy Strikes Back.

1:41:05 > 1:41:07They cover it with straw.

1:41:07 > 1:41:10When he comes in, he steps on this, the barrel goes off,

1:41:10 > 1:41:13his foot gets caught, he goes right up and he's trapped.

1:41:22 > 1:41:23Here I am!

1:41:27 > 1:41:29No! You're supposed... Oh!

1:41:39 > 1:41:41Oh!

1:41:50 > 1:41:52Come on, Rosalind.

1:41:52 > 1:41:54SHE SCREAMS

1:41:54 > 1:41:56Rosalind!

1:41:58 > 1:42:01Help! Let me down here!

1:42:01 > 1:42:04Help! Let me down!

1:42:04 > 1:42:06SIRENS BLARE

1:42:09 > 1:42:12Well, there's the flower truck.

1:42:14 > 1:42:17For the last time! Where is the book?

1:42:17 > 1:42:19I'll never tell! Never!

1:42:19 > 1:42:20SHE SCREAMS

1:42:23 > 1:42:25Hendrick!

1:42:25 > 1:42:26You better stay where you are!

1:42:26 > 1:42:29I took care of you once before, and I'll do it again!

1:42:30 > 1:42:33Drop it! What's going on here?

1:42:33 > 1:42:35- You! What about that flower truck? - I had to rescue the girl!

1:42:35 > 1:42:38- These men are crooks! - They're murderers!

1:42:38 > 1:42:40- He's the leader! The Boot! - This is what they're after!

1:42:42 > 1:42:44It belongs to the Dutch government.

1:42:46 > 1:42:48Get him! He's getting away!

1:42:52 > 1:42:56Twist her arm, will you? I'll show you who's crazy!

1:42:56 > 1:43:00Mitty, you fool! Leave that poor old man alone!

1:43:01 > 1:43:04Walter, all those policemen! What does it mean?

1:43:04 > 1:43:05- Who's she? - This is Rosalind.

1:43:05 > 1:43:08- Now you understand why I left... - I understand, you two-timer!

1:43:08 > 1:43:10Well, ladies, I guess I was right all along!

1:43:10 > 1:43:12How could you?

1:43:12 > 1:43:14Rosalind can explain. She was with me every minute.

1:43:14 > 1:43:17All the time you were making advances to my daughter,

1:43:17 > 1:43:19you were carrying on with this Jezebel!

1:43:19 > 1:43:23Jezebel! How dare you! All of you!

1:43:23 > 1:43:26- Rosalind, wait! - Let her go! You're well rid of her!

1:43:26 > 1:43:29Run after her, you milk-drinking Casanova!

1:43:29 > 1:43:31Milk? I'd like to see what he drinks when he's out with that blonde!

1:43:31 > 1:43:35- You filthy drunkard! - You can't make a lily from a ragweed!

1:43:35 > 1:43:37- Shut up! - Mitty!

1:43:37 > 1:43:39You too!

1:43:39 > 1:43:41Now you're all going to listen to me.

1:43:41 > 1:43:43For years I've been listening to you! You almost put me in a straightjacket!

1:43:43 > 1:43:46Your small minds are muscle-bound with suspicion.

1:43:46 > 1:43:49That's because the only exercise you get is jumping to conclusions!

1:43:49 > 1:43:51You ought to be ashamed of yourselves, every one of you!

1:43:51 > 1:43:54- Now, hold on! I don't think... - You never think!

1:43:54 > 1:43:56- What? - The only good idea you ever had,

1:43:56 > 1:43:58was to hire me to do your thinking for you!

1:43:58 > 1:44:01- Ha! Ha! Ha!- Ha! Ha! Ha...

1:44:13 > 1:44:15"Associate editor."

1:44:20 > 1:44:22Go right in. Take a look at it, Walt.

1:44:24 > 1:44:27Oh, Walter. It's just wonderful!

1:44:28 > 1:44:33Now, folks, this is just another working day in the Pierce Publishing Company.

1:44:33 > 1:44:35Frontier Stories has to meet its deadline.

1:44:35 > 1:44:37Have you ever been through our plant, Mrs Mitty?

1:44:37 > 1:44:40- No, I haven't- Well, come along. I'll show you around.

1:44:40 > 1:44:42I'll see you later, dear.

1:44:48 > 1:44:51And no more daydreaming, Walt, old man.

1:44:51 > 1:44:54Oh, no. Right you are, Bruce!
