0:01:24 > 0:01:28I'm looking for Mr Keith Morgan. Have you seen him?

0:01:28 > 0:01:32We haven't seen anything but Morgan since Monday. This way, sir.

0:01:50 > 0:01:53Hello, Keith, I hope I'm not troubling you.

0:01:53 > 0:01:57Why, Professor, you sound a little bitter.

0:01:57 > 0:02:02- We have very little time. Come on, you have to hurry.- Sit down, Peter.

0:02:02 > 0:02:06Ah, ah, ah! Can't sit there! That's her chair.

0:02:06 > 0:02:11D'you know what time it is? We have to catch a train for Old Sharon.

0:02:11 > 0:02:15- Ah, don't you worry. - This is the... Excuse me.

0:02:15 > 0:02:21This is the last time I nursemaid you when you come to New York on one of these frolics.

0:02:21 > 0:02:28- I'm not gonna budge till the girl I'm in love with agrees to marry me. - Well, it's... Excuse me.

0:02:28 > 0:02:32I've sat here for four nights and I'll sit here 40 more.

0:02:32 > 0:02:37Oh, Pete, she's the most beautiful, exciting...

0:02:37 > 0:02:40- What? You aren't serious?- I am!

0:02:40 > 0:02:45- You haven't any monopoly on seriousness.- Now, Keith...

0:02:45 > 0:02:50The 4am train leaves at 4am and I'm going to be on it and so are you.

0:02:50 > 0:02:55Waiter, get this man his cheque. I'm going to get his hat.

0:03:10 > 0:03:13That's Old Sharon 242.

0:03:13 > 0:03:17And I want... And reverse the charges.

0:03:17 > 0:03:20I want to speak to Mr Peter Morgan, senior.

0:03:20 > 0:03:24If you don't find him there, try the university.

0:03:24 > 0:03:28- He's president. - Then what's Roosevelt doing?

0:03:33 > 0:03:37# You'd never dream to look at me

0:03:35 > 0:03:37Hello?

0:03:37 > 0:03:40- # My life is stuffed with tragedy - Hello? Dad! Dad?

0:03:40 > 0:03:45- Shh! There's a number going on! - Dad? Hello. I've found him.

0:03:45 > 0:03:49- If you shout any louder, you won't need that phone!- What?

0:03:49 > 0:03:54I'm in a night club, Dad. Now, don't get excited. I'm leaving soon.

0:03:54 > 0:03:59What? ..No, it's a girl this time.

0:03:59 > 0:04:03- How's the mother doing?- She's fine. What?!

0:04:03 > 0:04:05All right, goodbye now.

0:04:05 > 0:04:09# ..is a lovely memory

0:04:12 > 0:04:15# Oh, I'm forgotten and I'm all alone

0:04:15 > 0:04:19# But when you dance with someone else

0:04:19 > 0:04:23# And try romance with someone else

0:04:23 > 0:04:27# You'll be reminded of me

0:04:27 > 0:04:31# And when you look in somebody's eyes

0:04:31 > 0:04:35# The way you look into mine

0:04:35 > 0:04:39# The memory of those little white lies

0:04:39 > 0:04:43# Will haunt you all of the time

0:04:43 > 0:04:47# So you've forgotten all the thrills we knew

0:04:47 > 0:04:51# But wait, the day will come to you

0:04:51 > 0:04:56# And when your heart is broke in two

0:04:56 > 0:04:58# You'll be reminded of me

0:05:00 > 0:05:03# If you should ever think of New York after dark

0:05:03 > 0:05:07# And remember how we rode the hurdy-gurdy in the park

0:05:07 > 0:05:11# And later, as we stroll along, you kissed my trembling hand

0:05:11 > 0:05:16# And on my finger slipped an 18-carat cigar band

0:05:16 > 0:05:18# You'll be reminded of me

0:05:20 > 0:05:24# And when you look in somebody's eyes

0:05:24 > 0:05:29# The way you look into mine

0:05:29 > 0:05:34# The memory of those little white lies

0:05:34 > 0:05:40# Will haunt you all of the time

0:05:40 > 0:05:45# Go on forgetting all the thrills we ever knew

0:05:45 > 0:05:46# But wait-a,

0:05:46 > 0:05:47# The day-a

0:05:47 > 0:05:49# Will-a come-a to you-a

0:05:49 > 0:05:51# And when-a

0:05:51 > 0:05:52# Your heart-a

0:05:52 > 0:05:54# Is a-broken in two

0:05:54 > 0:05:56# You'll be reminded of me

0:05:56 > 0:05:58# And I'll be laughing

0:05:58 > 0:06:02# You'll be reminded of me. #

0:06:02 > 0:06:05APPLAUSE

0:06:14 > 0:06:15Charlie...

0:06:17 > 0:06:21Tell the fella at my table I've gone. I wanna put one over on him.

0:06:21 > 0:06:24Let me know when he leaves.

0:06:30 > 0:06:31Oh...

0:06:31 > 0:06:33Hello.

0:06:33 > 0:06:35How do you do.

0:06:38 > 0:06:40- Where's Keith?- I wish I knew.

0:06:44 > 0:06:46Oh, you're, er...

0:06:46 > 0:06:48Oh...

0:06:48 > 0:06:51- What's the matter?- Nothing.

0:06:53 > 0:06:57- Say, what were you trying to do - break me up?- When you were singing?

0:06:57 > 0:07:02- I fell over a cooler over there. I'm exceedingly sorry.- Don't be.

0:07:02 > 0:07:07- Some drunk does it every night. I don't mean you're drunk.- I'm sorry?

0:07:09 > 0:07:14- I said I don't mean that I think you're tight.- I'm not intoxicated.

0:07:14 > 0:07:18- No kidding.- No. No. I'm just, er...

0:07:18 > 0:07:20Just...

0:07:20 > 0:07:23The only way I can explain it...

0:07:24 > 0:07:29- We had one of the first automobiles in Old Sharon.- You live there too?

0:07:29 > 0:07:37Oh, yes, yes. And one morning, my father was driving along and he didn't see me in the street.

0:07:37 > 0:07:39And he ran over me.

0:07:40 > 0:07:44It wasn't serious but it was quite a blow.

0:07:44 > 0:07:46Well, yeah.

0:07:48 > 0:07:51Well, that's just the way I feel right now.

0:07:53 > 0:07:59We say it a bit different. We say we feel like we've been hit by a truck.

0:08:00 > 0:08:02It's the same idea.

0:08:02 > 0:08:05Yeah.

0:08:07 > 0:08:10- Have a cigarette?- No, thanks.

0:08:13 > 0:08:16- Something to drink? - No, I never use it.

0:08:20 > 0:08:26- Something to eat?- Yes, I would like something to eat.- Oh...- Not in here.

0:08:26 > 0:08:29The food's terrible.

0:08:29 > 0:08:33Well, then, we... I mean we...you...

0:08:33 > 0:08:38- Do you want to take me out?- I do! Very much!- How 'bout it?- All right.

0:08:43 > 0:08:47- And we might see some of New York. - All right.

0:08:47 > 0:08:50Good night, Charlie. I'm going to see New York.

0:08:58 > 0:09:03- Has he gone?- Yes, he's gone, but... - Boy, did I give him the runaround!

0:09:06 > 0:09:09Boy, did we get rid of him!

0:09:09 > 0:09:14- Hey, where's Francie? - Francie went with him.- Oh, boy...!

0:09:14 > 0:09:17- Huh?- He's showing her New York.

0:09:18 > 0:09:19Oh, boy!

0:09:20 > 0:09:23- It's so quiet too.- What?

0:09:23 > 0:09:27- I said it's so quiet! - What did you say?!

0:09:27 > 0:09:32The only sound at night is just the wind and the trees.

0:09:32 > 0:09:36- What did you say?!- I said it's so quiet in Old Sharon!

0:09:36 > 0:09:39Oh, I'd like that!

0:09:39 > 0:09:44Did you ever stop to think how important the universe is?

0:09:44 > 0:09:47No, I don't believe I have.

0:09:47 > 0:09:52Well, we worry about industry and business...

0:09:53 > 0:09:59Few people realise that school is responsible for our civilisation.

0:09:59 > 0:10:02Say, what are you?

0:10:02 > 0:10:05- Well, I'm a professor.- Oh.

0:10:05 > 0:10:08Well, not quite. Associate professor.

0:10:08 > 0:10:14So when I see that university, it gives me quite a thrill because...

0:10:15 > 0:10:18Because what?

0:10:18 > 0:10:23Well, I'd like to tell you but you'd just think I'm bragging.

0:10:23 > 0:10:27Well, no, I like people who think they're good.

0:10:27 > 0:10:32- My grandfather was president of Old Sharon university.- Good night!

0:10:32 > 0:10:36My father's president now. And some day, I'm going to be.

0:10:44 > 0:10:48I assure you, I've never talked this much before.

0:10:48 > 0:10:50But...

0:10:50 > 0:10:54I...I just realised... I'm trying to make an impression.

0:10:55 > 0:11:00Well, you could let me say something. I'd like to make an impression too.

0:11:00 > 0:11:03- You don't have to say anything.- No?

0:11:03 > 0:11:07No. You speak for yourself, and very eloquently too.

0:11:08 > 0:11:12Besides, wasn't I at the cafe tonight?

0:11:12 > 0:11:16- Did you like my dance? - You were singing when I came in.

0:11:16 > 0:11:21- You didn't see my dance? When I wear the little thing with sequins?- No.

0:11:21 > 0:11:26Oh, I'm sorry. That's the best number I do. I want you to see it.

0:11:26 > 0:11:30- Why?- It's a great number. - Is that so?- Terrific.

0:11:30 > 0:11:34- So, you're good!- Yeah, I'm good. - Now who's bragging?

0:11:37 > 0:11:39You got me.

0:11:53 > 0:11:55I've missed the train.

0:11:57 > 0:12:00- That's too bad.- Oh, it's all right.

0:12:07 > 0:12:08Goodbye.

0:12:09 > 0:12:11Goodbye? Why?

0:12:11 > 0:12:14I live here.

0:12:14 > 0:12:15Oh...

0:12:21 > 0:12:22Goodbye.

0:12:23 > 0:12:25Er... Do you...

0:12:26 > 0:12:31- Do you think things out carefully? - Things? What things?

0:12:31 > 0:12:36- Just things.- You mean small things or important things?

0:12:36 > 0:12:39Er...everything.

0:12:39 > 0:12:42Well, if it's small things, I never do.

0:12:42 > 0:12:46But important things, I never do either.

0:12:46 > 0:12:50Oh... I think you ought to think them out, don't you?

0:12:50 > 0:12:54Because small things develop into very important things.

0:12:54 > 0:12:58Yes, but you just think things out and...

0:12:58 > 0:13:00they happen anyhow.

0:13:00 > 0:13:06Well... What, you mean there's some things you just can't control?

0:13:06 > 0:13:09I don't think you can control anything.

0:13:33 > 0:13:37TELEPHONE RINGS

0:13:40 > 0:13:42- Hello.- 'Good morning.'

0:13:43 > 0:13:46Well...good morning.

0:13:48 > 0:13:53- If you aren't doing anything, would you have breakfast with me?- Sure.

0:13:53 > 0:13:58- Where are you?- 'At the drugstore.' - Give me 15 minutes.- Make it five.

0:13:58 > 0:14:00All right, five. Goodbye.

0:14:10 > 0:14:17Good morning. We're having a little special today. A toothbrush free with a bottle of mouthwash.

0:14:17 > 0:14:21Just taste this. No iron, no tin, no irritants, no...

0:14:33 > 0:14:37- Brown hair, blue eyes, about 6' 1" tall.- In shoes or stockinged feet?

0:14:37 > 0:14:40- Stockinged feet.- I haven't seen him.

0:14:43 > 0:14:45Beg your pardon, sir.

0:14:45 > 0:14:47Never mind, I've found him.

0:14:47 > 0:14:52Now, that's all right. Keith, Keith, wake up now.

0:14:54 > 0:14:57- May I have the tickets?- Oh, I...

0:14:57 > 0:15:01Keith, may I use your drawing room? I'll buy you a berth.

0:15:01 > 0:15:06- Sorry, there's no more space.- I'll sleep here.- Drawing room A, car 71.

0:15:07 > 0:15:09Would you, er...?

0:15:09 > 0:15:11Keith, I...

0:15:11 > 0:15:13Listen...

0:15:13 > 0:15:16The most wonderful thing's happened.

0:15:16 > 0:15:21- Some would say it's a miracle... - Don't you care what people say.

0:15:21 > 0:15:26But there's nothing particularly miraculous about it! It's chemistry.

0:15:26 > 0:15:29Anodes attract cathodes...

0:15:29 > 0:15:32Don't tell me - you're in love.

0:15:32 > 0:15:35No. No. I'm married.

0:15:35 > 0:15:40- Married a cathode? That's a funny name.- Her name's Francie.

0:15:40 > 0:15:44Oh, Francie? That's a very pretty name. Francie.

0:15:45 > 0:15:49- That's my girl! - Wait a minute, boss! Take it easy.

0:15:49 > 0:15:52Hey! What are you trying to do, lose me?

0:15:54 > 0:15:56Oh, no.

0:15:57 > 0:16:00- I'm never gonna lose you. - You better not.

0:16:00 > 0:16:05It only took a day to happen but I'm in love with you for always.

0:16:05 > 0:16:09- Think you can stand it? - Well, I'll try.

0:16:13 > 0:16:15You...er... You can move in.

0:16:18 > 0:16:20What did Keith say?

0:16:20 > 0:16:23- He was a little startled.- I bet.

0:16:23 > 0:16:28Oh, do you mind, er...he and I... Well, do you mind if we go in alone?

0:16:28 > 0:16:31- She has claustrophobia...- Yes.

0:16:31 > 0:16:34Now I know I've heard everything.

0:16:34 > 0:16:42- I've never been married before and...- Frightened?- Frightened? No. I'm never gonna be frightened again.

0:16:42 > 0:16:45Now you're my wall to lean against.

0:16:45 > 0:16:49Well, I've always tried to be a strong man in a conservative way.

0:16:49 > 0:16:55Well, my strong and conservative man, carry me across our first threshold.

0:16:55 > 0:16:57Oh, no, Francie.

0:16:57 > 0:17:01No, that's... People did that... That's old...

0:17:30 > 0:17:32Beg your pardon...

0:17:32 > 0:17:35That's all right. I know how it is.

0:17:35 > 0:17:39- Well, how is it? - Can't a man make a mistake?

0:17:39 > 0:17:43- He could knock! - Isn't this Drawing Room A, car 71?

0:17:43 > 0:17:48- Yes, this is Drawing Room A, car 71. Here's our ticket.- But you see...

0:17:48 > 0:17:53- What are you gonna do about this? Throw them out!- They're going.

0:17:53 > 0:17:58- We'd rather stay, if you...- Then the conductor will throw you out...

0:17:58 > 0:18:02No. This is our drawing room and I won't budge.

0:18:02 > 0:18:06Good! I was wondering what we'd do all night.

0:18:06 > 0:18:10Every time I take a trip with you, something happens.

0:18:10 > 0:18:15And when I don't, something happens. I know what I'm married to.

0:18:15 > 0:18:19You haven't fooled me, not one minute. But I don't care!

0:18:19 > 0:18:25Look, dear. Why can't you keep quiet.

0:18:23 > 0:18:25Before I pin your big ears back!

0:18:25 > 0:18:31- You heard him! You're witnesses!- I wish you had a mother to go back to. - I wish I had another husband!

0:18:31 > 0:18:33I'll get you one at the next station.

0:18:33 > 0:18:39- You're gonna be a nasty old man. - There's room in the observation car.

0:18:39 > 0:18:43- I guess she got frightened. - Frightened of what?

0:18:43 > 0:18:47Another peep out of you and you'll sleep in the observation car.

0:20:03 > 0:20:06Francie, you'd better hurry!

0:20:06 > 0:20:11Peter, what is a professor's wife meant to do? I forgot to ask.

0:20:11 > 0:20:16Oh, mostly just keep the professor happy, that's all. Ready?

0:20:17 > 0:20:22You're gonna like Old Sharon. You're gonna like my family too.

0:20:22 > 0:20:25- And they'll love you.- I hope so.

0:20:25 > 0:20:29Never having had one of my own, I have an illusion about one.

0:20:29 > 0:20:33- Good moring.- Keith!- Francie! What are you...? Oh, yes, I married you.

0:20:33 > 0:20:38- Ah, ah, she married me!- Oh, that's all right, then we're cousins.

0:20:38 > 0:20:43- You can use that drawing room now if you want.- Don't get fresh.

0:20:46 > 0:20:51- The old man looks calm considering you're married.- I haven't told him.

0:20:51 > 0:20:56- Oh, you haven't told him.- No.- Save me two seats on the 50-yard line.

0:20:56 > 0:21:00I'm gonna tell him. I'm old enough to know what I'm doing.

0:21:00 > 0:21:05It isn't as if I ran off and got married. I thought it out carefully.

0:21:05 > 0:21:12- If he has anything to say, he can say it to my face.- Maybe I'd better wait till you straighten things out.

0:21:12 > 0:21:16- Come to my place...- No! No. - Then you could tell them.

0:21:16 > 0:21:22- I'll come over later.- I don't like that...- Don't you think I ought to?

0:21:23 > 0:21:26- Maybe.- Come along, cousin Francis.

0:21:26 > 0:21:29OK. Oh, Francie, come here.

0:21:30 > 0:21:32- Goodbye.- Goodbye.

0:21:32 > 0:21:35Goodbye? I'll be seeing you in a minute!

0:21:35 > 0:21:39We'll be at my cosy apartment. Call us some time.

0:21:39 > 0:21:42Keith, is your phone connected?

0:21:43 > 0:21:44Hi, uncle.

0:21:44 > 0:21:46Who is that blonde thing with Keith?

0:21:48 > 0:21:52There he is. Hello, darling. How are you?

0:21:52 > 0:21:56- Who's that?- Helen. His fiancee. - He's a bigamist!

0:21:56 > 0:22:02In the second degree. The old man whipped her up - blue blood, a thoroughbred.

0:22:02 > 0:22:06No, I gotta see. I can't have my husband engaged to just anybody.

0:22:06 > 0:22:11- I didn't know you were... Hello, Dad...- Don't tell me, I can see.

0:22:11 > 0:22:16Every time I send someone to do something for me, nothing happens.

0:22:16 > 0:22:22- I sent you to New York to get Keith.- I brought him... - Yes, but not that blonde too.

0:22:22 > 0:22:29- Isn't that the girl you spoke to me about on the phone?- Yes, that's the girl. She's a very nice girl, Dad.

0:22:29 > 0:22:36When you were 12, I informed you and you still don't know one woman from another. We won't discuss it now.

0:22:36 > 0:22:41- Take Helen home.- Yes, but...- I have a meeting at the university.- Dad...

0:22:41 > 0:22:44Come on, Peter. It isn't your fault.

0:22:44 > 0:22:48- I wonder if it's inherited or acquired.- What do you mean?

0:22:48 > 0:22:53He's allergic to blondes. He sees one and breaks out in a rash.

0:22:53 > 0:22:58- The only cure is to send him back to the African bush.- I trust him.

0:22:58 > 0:23:02Oh, I just want to thank you for everything. I had a wonderful time.

0:23:02 > 0:23:08- It makes me break out in goose flesh. Did you ever break out?- Not lately.

0:23:08 > 0:23:11I'll always think of you as my cousin.

0:23:12 > 0:23:14Thank you, again.

0:23:19 > 0:23:21Directly home, sir?

0:23:21 > 0:23:23Yes...

0:23:23 > 0:23:27Here, wipe your mouth before Joseph kisses you.

0:23:30 > 0:23:31Goodbye.

0:23:37 > 0:23:42Ada, get some fluffy drapes for the windows out of the cedar chest.

0:23:42 > 0:23:49Get the bedspread for that bed, get something put here. I want it to look very feminine. Very feminine.

0:23:49 > 0:23:51PHONE RINGS

0:23:51 > 0:23:54Hello. ..Oh, hel-lo.

0:23:54 > 0:23:58Hello, Francie? Are you all right? What's Keith doing?

0:23:58 > 0:24:01He's gone out... No, here he is now.

0:24:02 > 0:24:04Oh!

0:24:04 > 0:24:06Oh-h!

0:24:06 > 0:24:09Oh, Keith, you're wonderful!

0:24:09 > 0:24:11'O-h-h!'

0:24:11 > 0:24:15Oh, you're a darling! Mmm!

0:24:15 > 0:24:16'Mmmm!'

0:24:18 > 0:24:21- 'Hey!'- Oh! Oh, hello.

0:24:21 > 0:24:24- What's going on? - Keith just bought a cake.

0:24:24 > 0:24:28- What's all that noise? - It's a wedding cake. Listen.

0:24:28 > 0:24:30DING-A-LING

0:24:30 > 0:24:34Oh. Well, don't cut it before I get over.

0:24:34 > 0:24:39No, we won't. Say, have you told your mother and father?

0:24:39 > 0:24:43No, not yet but they'll take a reasonable attitude.

0:24:43 > 0:24:48Really, Mrs Jones, your baby's no trouble, she can stay as long as...

0:24:48 > 0:24:54Look, darling, couldn't you send Keith off on an errand for you?

0:24:54 > 0:24:56Don't listen.

0:24:56 > 0:24:58Come here.

0:24:58 > 0:25:01SHE KISSES DOWN THE PHONE

0:25:01 > 0:25:04Come on. I'll blow closer.

0:25:04 > 0:25:07SHE KISSES FERVENTLY

0:25:07 > 0:25:09Oh, just a minute, Keith.

0:25:09 > 0:25:12- Dad...- Finish your conversation.

0:25:12 > 0:25:16SQUELCHY KISSES FROM PHONE

0:25:17 > 0:25:20I had.

0:25:20 > 0:25:23- He hung up.- Helen probably popped in.

0:25:23 > 0:25:26I wouldn't worry about it. Much.

0:25:26 > 0:25:29The student council meets this afternoon.

0:25:29 > 0:25:33As a member of the advisory committee, you'll be there.

0:25:33 > 0:25:39Furthermore, we're having spring difficulties between male and female students a little early.

0:25:39 > 0:25:42Fraternising in the lockers.

0:25:42 > 0:25:49- Then there's the Prom.- I want to tell you about that girl.- I'll give no more thought to your involvement.

0:25:49 > 0:25:53- I'll take care of Keith my own way. - You don't understand.

0:25:53 > 0:25:57- The subject is closed. - The subject is NOT closed.

0:25:57 > 0:26:03- This is so distasteful.- At the risk of being a bore, I will talk about it.- I insist you respect my wishes!

0:26:03 > 0:26:07THEY SHOUT ABOVE ONE ANOTHER

0:26:07 > 0:26:09Your voices!

0:26:09 > 0:26:12- I refuse to treated...- Don't shout!

0:26:12 > 0:26:16Shouting is the effort of a limited mind.

0:26:16 > 0:26:19- Oh, Mother.- See what you've done.

0:26:19 > 0:26:24Get the smelling salts. You know your mother can't stand excitement.

0:26:24 > 0:26:28- I'll go. Get the smelling salts. - I thought so.

0:26:29 > 0:26:31Here.

0:26:31 > 0:26:35- Oh, Mother, I'm so sorry. - Oh, I'm all right, dear.

0:26:35 > 0:26:40- Sooner or later, I'll... - Haven't you done enough? I'm all right.

0:26:47 > 0:26:50PHONE RINGS

0:26:50 > 0:26:52Hello... Hey! Hello?

0:26:52 > 0:26:57Hello, Francie? I haven't quite got this sorted out but I have an idea.

0:26:57 > 0:27:02I want you to get dressed up and get Keith to take you to the Prom. My folks will be there.

0:27:02 > 0:27:08- He wants you to take me to the Prom. - Why bore her on her first night?

0:27:08 > 0:27:13Keith, listen, I want her to be there to meet them when I tell them.

0:27:13 > 0:27:18That way it'll be much easier with all the music and the atmosphere.

0:27:18 > 0:27:23- I'll meet you in the locker room. - You stay outta the locker room!

0:27:26 > 0:27:29Just a moment, Mr Morgan.

0:27:29 > 0:27:34- That's all right. Who's the young lady?- She's my guest.

0:27:34 > 0:27:39Mr Morgan, you know this is a closed affair - students and faculty only.

0:27:39 > 0:27:41She is a student. Miss Francie Brent.

0:27:41 > 0:27:45Yes, a student. She's a student in my class.

0:27:45 > 0:27:48Botany. Class 40.

0:27:52 > 0:27:57- What'll happen if they find out? You'll get in trouble.- I don't mind.

0:27:57 > 0:28:01Don't worry. Everything will be explained tonight.

0:28:01 > 0:28:08- Will I like them? Will they like me? - Nothing like you happened to us before.- That's what I'm afraid of.

0:28:08 > 0:28:10- Darling...- Francie.

0:28:12 > 0:28:15Francie, sit down here. Take your coat off.

0:28:15 > 0:28:18Mother and Dad will come that way.

0:28:21 > 0:28:24- Where did you get to?- Hello, Helen.

0:28:24 > 0:28:27Helen, this is... I'd like you to meet...

0:28:27 > 0:28:30- Miss Francie Brent.- Yes.

0:28:30 > 0:28:34She's with us now. She's in my class.

0:28:34 > 0:28:36- Post-graduate.- How do you do.

0:28:36 > 0:28:42- I recognise your goose flesh.- Yes, it's nice to stand out in a crowd.

0:28:43 > 0:28:48Your platonic friendships are becoming irksome. Come, sweet.

0:28:48 > 0:28:50Er...

0:28:50 > 0:28:55- I... I'll be right back. Excuse me, Keith.- While you drown her.

0:28:55 > 0:28:59- "Come, sweet"! Who does she think she is? Why, I'll...- Not now.

0:29:01 > 0:29:03Hello, Mr Morgan.

0:29:03 > 0:29:08- Mrs Morgan.- Good evening, Uncle Peter, Aunt Martha.- Good evening.

0:29:08 > 0:29:15- I made a fine impression! I'd better go home.- It could have been worse. - I might have hit him.- Come on.

0:29:15 > 0:29:18Wait. How do I look? Where's Peter?

0:29:18 > 0:29:23- I think I'd better go fix my face. - The little girls' room's over there.

0:29:23 > 0:29:27All right. I'll be back.

0:29:27 > 0:29:32- Oh, Helen, excuse me, I want to speak to Dad.- No.- No? No, what?

0:29:32 > 0:29:35- No, I won't excuse you.- Why not?

0:29:35 > 0:29:39Because it's my dance. And I don't want you to behave like your father.

0:29:39 > 0:29:44- Dad's all right!- Louder, I didn't hear you.- He's still all right!

0:29:44 > 0:29:46Excuse me.

0:29:46 > 0:29:49It was her fault.

0:30:02 > 0:30:07Oh, what lovely sheer hose! Where do you get them?

0:30:07 > 0:30:09Livingstone's, Fifth Avenue.

0:30:09 > 0:30:14They have only the best and I think it pays, don't you? Naturally.

0:30:14 > 0:30:17To buy the best, I mean.

0:30:17 > 0:30:19I wish we could get them here.

0:30:19 > 0:30:24Send away for them. I do when I go south for winter.

0:30:24 > 0:30:27- Have you a cigarette? - Hm?

0:30:29 > 0:30:33- May I have a cigarette? - Oh...a cigarette?

0:30:33 > 0:30:36Oh, yes, I have a cigarette.

0:30:38 > 0:30:41Oh, I couldn't take your last one.

0:30:41 > 0:30:44Go ahead. I can take 'em or leave 'em.

0:30:48 > 0:30:50How's that?

0:30:52 > 0:30:54Thank you.

0:31:00 > 0:31:04Now, about those hose - I wouldn't send away for them, if I were you.

0:31:04 > 0:31:08You can buy them any place for 50 cents cheaper. Really?

0:31:08 > 0:31:13Just because they come from Fifth Avenue, you have to pay 25% more.

0:31:13 > 0:31:16And besides, they run.

0:31:16 > 0:31:19We haven't met before. No.

0:31:19 > 0:31:22Are you going to be with us? I am.

0:31:22 > 0:31:25You're a new student? That's right.

0:31:25 > 0:31:30- Mrs Morgan.- Yes.- Mr Morgan says to tell you he's waiting.- Thank you.

0:31:31 > 0:31:35- And Mrs Morgan...you better snuff out that snipe!- Oh, of course!

0:31:36 > 0:31:40Thank you. Good night, my dear.

0:31:42 > 0:31:47I hope you're going to like us. I was gonna say the same thing.

0:31:47 > 0:31:51If my husband wouldn't let me smoke, I'd get me a husband that would.

0:31:51 > 0:31:54Depends on which you enjoy the most.

0:31:54 > 0:31:58SHE MUMBLES TO HERSELF

0:32:04 > 0:32:10- I met Peter's mother. - Did you say who you were? - No. But I think she's wonderful!

0:32:10 > 0:32:14She was my favourite aunt before she got married. Let's find Peter.

0:32:14 > 0:32:17And hurry, cos I got the shakes.

0:32:17 > 0:32:18Huh!

0:32:21 > 0:32:24If she gets any closer, she'll be behind him!

0:32:31 > 0:32:36- What do you think you're doing? - Don't you know? I'm mad about you!

0:32:36 > 0:32:41Darling, give me your neck to bite into. Round the jugular! Raargh!

0:32:42 > 0:32:47I don't mean to be prudish, but the way you were holding that girl!

0:32:47 > 0:32:50Well, now, she was holding me!

0:32:50 > 0:32:55Would I be too boring if I suggested you break off your engagement?

0:32:55 > 0:33:02The engagement's broken. She doesn't know. But I want to take one thing at a time.

0:33:02 > 0:33:06- Did you get your ring back?- I never gave her a ring!- Don't shout!

0:33:06 > 0:33:12- We're quarrelling, and no-one knows we're married.- You won't tell them!

0:33:12 > 0:33:14If we want to quarrel, why shouldn't we?

0:33:14 > 0:33:20- It's one of the nice things about being married.- Certainly.- Certainly.

0:33:20 > 0:33:22Right, sit here. I'm gonna tell 'em!

0:33:27 > 0:33:28Oh...

0:33:28 > 0:33:32- Oh, I'm sorry. - Then why don't you tell 'em!

0:33:32 > 0:33:36I... I just didn't mean to upset you.

0:33:36 > 0:33:40I'm not upset about that. It's just...

0:33:40 > 0:33:44I got the shakes. I know I'm gonna make a mess outta things.

0:33:44 > 0:33:46My mascara's running.

0:33:46 > 0:33:53Why, darling, you are shaking. There's nothing to be afraid of. They're just my mother and father.

0:33:53 > 0:33:56- Then why are you shaking?- Huh?

0:33:56 > 0:34:00Sympathetic action. Hold your breath and count to ten.

0:34:00 > 0:34:04One, two, three, four, five, six, seven... It's no use.

0:34:09 > 0:34:11All right. Now.

0:34:11 > 0:34:14Go get 'em!

0:34:15 > 0:34:17Hold your head up a little higher.

0:34:17 > 0:34:20There. There. Now, don't move.

0:34:20 > 0:34:23I'll be right back.

0:34:28 > 0:34:31I wouldn't try that in a high wind. You might take off.

0:34:31 > 0:34:35Keith, get Mother and bring her here. I'll get Dad.

0:34:38 > 0:34:43I wonder if you could stand me saying I dislike you intensely.

0:34:43 > 0:34:49- I want to go away.- Not before I tell you Peter and I are to be married.

0:34:49 > 0:34:54- Is that so?- Not that knowing that would make any difference.- Well, no.

0:34:54 > 0:34:59Peter needs protection against a certain type of woman.

0:34:59 > 0:35:05- I could work on that.- Will you mind your own business or must I give you a piece of my mind?

0:35:05 > 0:35:07I couldn't take the last piece.

0:35:10 > 0:35:14Why did you do that? I'll only have to hit you back.

0:35:14 > 0:35:18You contemptible little blonde! How dare you? Who do you think you are?

0:35:18 > 0:35:23There, and there's plenty more! I won't keep still, I won't, I won't!

0:35:23 > 0:35:25Shhh!

0:35:26 > 0:35:31- Shhh!- How dare you? You can't do that! I won't keep still. I won't!

0:35:33 > 0:35:38You can't do that! Stop "shushing" me! I don't care who hears me!

0:35:40 > 0:35:42Ow! Ooh!

0:35:55 > 0:35:57Right. Put 'em up.

0:35:57 > 0:36:00So, you wanna talk to the old man?

0:36:00 > 0:36:04Strong and healthy and yet he has to come to the old man.

0:36:04 > 0:36:09Chip off the old block. Well, what is it, son? Is he too big for you?

0:36:09 > 0:36:13- Well, he can't lick both of us, can he?- Excuse me.

0:36:13 > 0:36:18Now, don't tell me - you've got something up your sleeve. I can tell.

0:36:18 > 0:36:22- Out with it. Gimme up the truth. - It's a surprise.

0:36:22 > 0:36:27- I've sent for Mother. I want you both here.- It'd better be good.

0:36:27 > 0:36:29Dad, this is good.

0:36:46 > 0:36:49Ah, ha, ha...

0:37:02 > 0:37:05It... It's good, Peter.

0:37:07 > 0:37:09Er...

0:37:14 > 0:37:17Don't you think it's a little too rough?

0:37:17 > 0:37:19Rough?

0:37:27 > 0:37:29Now, wait a minute!

0:37:29 > 0:37:31Francie, wait!

0:37:31 > 0:37:35- Let me at her!- Easy... - Let me at her!- Let me at her!

0:37:39 > 0:37:41Take it easy.

0:38:11 > 0:38:14So, Helen fouled you with a pin?

0:38:14 > 0:38:17Yes, and behind my back.

0:38:18 > 0:38:23- If that fight had only gone another round!- I've made a mess of things.

0:38:23 > 0:38:27Don't be silly. Helen was a mess before you got to her.

0:38:29 > 0:38:34What happens if they find out I'm not a student? Will you lose your job?

0:38:34 > 0:38:38We'll worry about that tomorrow.

0:38:38 > 0:38:42In the meantime, we'll just worry about tonight.

0:38:44 > 0:38:46Make yourself comfortable, Francie.

0:38:46 > 0:38:51Anything you can't find, you'll have to do without.

0:38:53 > 0:38:57I'll kiss your husband goodnight for you.

0:39:04 > 0:39:08- Is Peter in his room? - Yes, he is, I guess.

0:39:08 > 0:39:13- Are you the guest he was expecting? - Yes, sure.- You could have fooled me.

0:39:27 > 0:39:32- Wanna make something of it?- I know you don't want to be disturbed.

0:39:32 > 0:39:36But you forgot something. Move over.

0:39:44 > 0:39:47Bless you, my children.

0:39:54 > 0:39:57"What about that girl?"

0:39:57 > 0:39:59"In regard to that young woman..."

0:39:59 > 0:40:04"What about that girl?" "In regard to that young woman."

0:40:04 > 0:40:08- What about that girl?- I lose. I bet you'd say it the other way.

0:40:08 > 0:40:14I'm not in a playful mood. I resent your beating around the bush. I always get to the point immediately.

0:40:14 > 0:40:17I accept that as a tradition of the Morgans.

0:40:17 > 0:40:22- But I bet you lose a lot of fun. - I want to discuss that girl.

0:40:22 > 0:40:26Uncle, that girl happens to be... a very good friend of mine.

0:40:26 > 0:40:30I won't stand it. Bringing her home. Get her out of town.

0:40:30 > 0:40:35I can't. She's here because... She heard Old Sharon gave a great course in Botany.

0:40:35 > 0:40:42Keith Morgan, I've watched you go to perdition in your dipsomaniacal way at least twice during this semester

0:40:42 > 0:40:46and I've made no issue of it. And I'll overlook this.

0:40:46 > 0:40:53But if that girl makes one more mistake like last night, it'll go hard with everyone. Now, get out.

0:40:58 > 0:41:02A hotshot he'd have been in the French Revolution!

0:41:06 > 0:41:12- How did he treat you?- Like I taught you to fight. Here's your card. You duck into Papa's classroom.

0:41:12 > 0:41:16This is your first day. Be good and make Mother proud.

0:41:16 > 0:41:20I'll be home as soon as Papa learns me all about the flowers.

0:41:29 > 0:41:32THEY WOLF WHISTLE

0:41:36 > 0:41:38- Don't you see it?- No.

0:41:38 > 0:41:42Right on the centre. Don't you see the tentacles?

0:41:42 > 0:41:44Just a minute.

0:41:44 > 0:41:48Now, this is the lowest form of plant life.

0:41:48 > 0:41:50- See? - Hello.

0:41:50 > 0:41:53Hello. They're perfect as far as they go.

0:41:53 > 0:41:56- Now if we take... - I love you.

0:42:00 > 0:42:05- You were about to take something. - Well, leave it.

0:42:05 > 0:42:09- Are you Professor Morgan?- Yes. - I'm supposed to report to you.

0:42:09 > 0:42:14- I'll take her to her place. - Never mind. I'll take her myself.

0:42:16 > 0:42:20- I have a lot to catch up. Can you help?- Yes, dear.

0:42:21 > 0:42:24WOLF WHISTLES

0:42:24 > 0:42:29We're studying the lowest form of vegetable life.

0:42:29 > 0:42:33Take a drop of water and put it on the slide.

0:42:33 > 0:42:38This water's from the gutter of a roof - it's been standing some time.

0:42:38 > 0:42:41- I didn't know you were this wonderful.- Um...

0:42:45 > 0:42:49Er... Now you use these to get the focus.

0:42:49 > 0:42:52And you'll notice a sort of a green colouring...

0:42:55 > 0:43:00..a green colouring. That is a multitude of small green bodies.

0:43:00 > 0:43:01See?

0:43:01 > 0:43:08I want you to examine that very carefully. If you run into difficulty, just ask.

0:43:08 > 0:43:10- Hurry back, dear.- All right, darling.

0:43:14 > 0:43:18BELL RINGS

0:43:18 > 0:43:23All right. Any questions about tomorrow's quiz, see Mr Culpepper.

0:43:23 > 0:43:30Hey, Morgan, that new student - probably not a thing up here except blonde hair.

0:43:30 > 0:43:34Now, wait a minute! You take it easy.

0:43:34 > 0:43:40I just don't like to have new students maligned. She hasn't had the benefit of earlier lectures.

0:43:40 > 0:43:44I'm sorry about that. I'll bring her up to date.

0:43:46 > 0:43:49Won't you sit down?

0:43:49 > 0:43:54And I'll try and explain some of these things to you.

0:43:54 > 0:43:57Botany is the romance of life.

0:43:57 > 0:44:02Before you're through, you'll never want to walk on a blade of grass.

0:44:02 > 0:44:07- Is that so?- Well, yeah, honey, plants are just like us.

0:44:07 > 0:44:10At first, they're playfully young.

0:44:10 > 0:44:16Then they grow up and become more serious. If you know what I mean?

0:44:16 > 0:44:20Culpepper, run down the hall and get tomorrow's slides.

0:44:20 > 0:44:22Yes, sir.

0:44:22 > 0:44:25Excuse me.

0:44:27 > 0:44:29I'll be back.

0:44:35 > 0:44:39- Darling, I've been so anxious to talk to you.- Can't we ever be alone?

0:44:39 > 0:44:42Here!

0:44:42 > 0:44:48- Are you all right? How do you feel? Did Helen hurt you?- Not much. I was so frightened, I just ran.

0:44:48 > 0:44:53- Keith could hardly catch me. And I was lonesome.- I worried all night.

0:44:53 > 0:45:00For a man of Dad's intelligence, he was pretty primitive about it. I just let him sleep it off.

0:45:00 > 0:45:04- I ruined everything. - Try not to worry too much.

0:45:04 > 0:45:09It's enough to drive you crazy, but remember - bad beginning, good finish.

0:45:09 > 0:45:13- I must be due a load of happiness. - No, "we" must.

0:45:13 > 0:45:17- Keith said... - Keith? Well, now, look now...

0:45:17 > 0:45:20We've imposed on him long enough.

0:45:20 > 0:45:24I want you to leave Keith's apartment and find one for us.

0:45:24 > 0:45:26You see...

0:45:26 > 0:45:31Well, we're having a quiz tomorrow and a lot of visiting professors

0:45:31 > 0:45:36- and you don't know anything about botany. Or do you? - If it's anything like us, I do.

0:45:36 > 0:45:38No.

0:45:38 > 0:45:40No, it's...a little different.

0:45:40 > 0:45:46I thought I could come round and give you the questions and answers.

0:45:46 > 0:45:49Good.

0:45:50 > 0:45:52All right.

0:45:52 > 0:45:57You go over to the Martha Gregory Apartments. It's nice and quiet...

0:45:57 > 0:46:00It'll be better for our lesson.

0:46:00 > 0:46:02All right, teacher.

0:46:04 > 0:46:06Thank you, teacher.

0:46:08 > 0:46:11WOLF WHISTES

0:46:11 > 0:46:18Don't expect any consideration for your late entrance into the class. You'll have to work twice as hard.

0:46:18 > 0:46:20All right, teacher.

0:46:23 > 0:46:25Cute, isn't he?

0:46:25 > 0:46:29HE WHISTLES

0:46:38 > 0:46:42There you are, deary. I've given you another quilt.

0:46:42 > 0:46:46Our young ladies are always complaining about chilly nights.

0:46:49 > 0:46:54If you want anything else, just call. Thank you.

0:46:56 > 0:47:01There's Walter again! Always falling down - just like him!

0:47:00 > 0:47:01Walter?!

0:47:03 > 0:47:06Walter was my husband.

0:47:06 > 0:47:09But you never could depend on him.

0:47:11 > 0:47:15- Where do you think you're going? - Francie French's apartment.

0:47:15 > 0:47:20- This hotel is for ladies exclusively. - I know...

0:47:20 > 0:47:25- Yes, if you would...- I'm her botany professor and...- Read!

0:47:25 > 0:47:29- But... - NO exceptions.

0:47:29 > 0:47:32- "No gentlemen allowed..." - Botany professor, huh?!

0:47:32 > 0:47:36- Come on!- People think of the silliest excuses.- Call her.

0:47:36 > 0:47:39Tell her I'm here.

0:47:41 > 0:47:44Will you sit down, please?

0:48:11 > 0:48:13CLANG!

0:48:14 > 0:48:17- All aboard!- Shhh!

0:48:26 > 0:48:27TWIT-TWOO!

0:48:36 > 0:48:39Alone at last!

0:48:48 > 0:48:53Professor, we don't mind you using the front seat. Just settle down!

0:48:55 > 0:48:58ENGINE ROARS

0:49:20 > 0:49:22ENGINE OFF

0:49:22 > 0:49:26EVERYONE YELLS

0:49:28 > 0:49:32Anybody would think I'm not your husband, including me!

0:49:32 > 0:49:37If ever a girl felt unmarried, I do. Can't you tell your father?

0:49:37 > 0:49:43- We'll tell him now. He's making a speech at the university. - I'll wait outside.

0:49:44 > 0:49:49"And all for what? For nothing. For applause.

0:49:49 > 0:49:54"What is applause to him or he to applause that he should weep for it?"

0:49:54 > 0:49:58- Why aren't you at the faculty? - Dad, sit down.

0:49:58 > 0:50:04Mr Noble is endowing a new library. We should honour him with our presence.

0:50:04 > 0:50:07This is more important than Noble.

0:50:07 > 0:50:09Your problems are secondary.

0:50:09 > 0:50:13You know that girl you think is Keith's girl?

0:50:13 > 0:50:16Now, wait a minute! Wait a minute!

0:50:16 > 0:50:20- She's my wife! - Now, our president. >

0:50:20 > 0:50:24POLITE APPLAUSE

0:50:27 > 0:50:30We are gathered here this evening...

0:50:33 > 0:50:36..to pay homage to a man...

0:50:37 > 0:50:39..who has this day...

0:50:41 > 0:50:45WHISPERS

0:50:45 > 0:50:49I'll have to ask you to excuse me for a few moments.

0:51:00 > 0:51:04- What was it you said? - I said that girl is my wife.

0:51:08 > 0:51:12And, Dad, she's the finest wife that any man could have.

0:51:12 > 0:51:15- Peter, are you mad?- I think so and I hope it's permanent.

0:51:15 > 0:51:20- I won't allow you to toss your life away.- Let me do as I wish.

0:51:20 > 0:51:26- It's a courtesy you'd...- You're confusing courtesy and licence.

0:51:26 > 0:51:30Your career here might lead to the presidency of this university.

0:51:30 > 0:51:34I say, "might". Father, are you all right?

0:51:34 > 0:51:38What happened? I'm all right. It's this boy.

0:51:38 > 0:51:43- I was so frightened... - I'm glad you're here.

0:51:43 > 0:51:47- Quiet. You know she has a weak heart. - I've been quiet long enough!

0:51:47 > 0:51:49- Get some water.- Mother, I'm sorry.

0:51:49 > 0:51:54- I... I didn't... - Can you get some water?

0:51:57 > 0:51:59Are you all right, dear? Fine.

0:51:59 > 0:52:02Give that to me!

0:52:02 > 0:52:07- You'll kill your mother!- Dad... - Don't say anything to her.- But...

0:52:07 > 0:52:11If you don't care about her welfare, I do!

0:52:13 > 0:52:17I'm sorry about your mother, Peter. Really I am.

0:52:19 > 0:52:23- But why should- I- be a shock?! - You wouldn't be.

0:52:23 > 0:52:26It's just that Dad was afraid that

0:52:26 > 0:52:32on top of her breaking down over his muffing that acceptance speech of his, she...

0:52:32 > 0:52:35Well, I don't know.

0:52:35 > 0:52:39Gosh, and Mr Noble - I hope he's not offended.

0:52:39 > 0:52:44I'd hate to see the university lose that endowment over ME.

0:52:44 > 0:52:48- Over ME, you mean.- You didn't have anything to do with it.

0:52:59 > 0:53:00What's that?

0:53:00 > 0:53:02Goodbye.

0:53:02 > 0:53:04Oh, but, Francie...!

0:53:08 > 0:53:11- Francie, would you please listen...! - Look, you!

0:53:12 > 0:53:14What?!

0:53:14 > 0:53:17Remember our house rules.

0:53:17 > 0:53:20Don't start anything rough. And I wear glasses.

0:53:20 > 0:53:26They're being fixed right now, but it's illegal to hit a man in glasses.

0:53:29 > 0:53:31SLAM!

0:53:33 > 0:53:41Hello. Can you reserve a compartment on the 1.00am New York train? And can someone come up for my bags?

0:53:51 > 0:53:56Francie, I know you oughta be angry with me and leave.

0:53:56 > 0:53:58But please don't go.

0:53:58 > 0:54:00I'm not angry.

0:54:00 > 0:54:07Well, you oughta be! I know that if you were me and I were you, I'd be angry and leave you!

0:54:08 > 0:54:12- But don't leave me. - Oh, darling, please don't.

0:54:12 > 0:54:16It's too difficult. Now, go on back down...

0:54:16 > 0:54:22If you don't stop, I'll go out there and yell that I have a right to be here!

0:54:22 > 0:54:29- Let's talk this over.- No, no - I can talk much more lucidly from here, with you over there.

0:54:29 > 0:54:33I'll say no to everything you say about leaving!

0:54:33 > 0:54:40- I've made up my mind. - What about OUR minds? - I told you to stay over there!

0:54:40 > 0:54:42One ticket to New York.

0:54:46 > 0:54:49Well...well...couldn't I just...

0:54:49 > 0:54:54couldn't I just sit down and watch you while you leave?

0:54:54 > 0:54:58I promise I...won't say anything or argue.

0:54:59 > 0:55:01I'll just sit.

0:55:01 > 0:55:03All right.

0:55:47 > 0:55:49Kiss me goodbye!

0:55:53 > 0:55:55Yeah.

0:55:55 > 0:55:57Goodbye, darling.

0:56:03 > 0:56:05- Goodbye, darling.- Goodbye.

0:56:22 > 0:56:25Oh, Walter! Oh, there it goes again.

0:56:25 > 0:56:32- Who's Walter?- The maid calls it Walter - like her husband, it falls down unexpectedly.

0:56:33 > 0:56:35Wait a minute, I'll...

0:56:36 > 0:56:38..I'll help you.

0:56:42 > 0:56:47- Once I just opened that drawer and it fell down.- Comes down easy, huh?

0:56:50 > 0:56:53Well...I'd better hurry.

0:56:54 > 0:56:57If I don't, I'll miss my train.

0:57:00 > 0:57:05You'll be careful going down the fire escape, won't you?

0:57:05 > 0:57:07Oh, that...

0:57:07 > 0:57:13Course, there was a policeman there when I came up, but I can take a chance.

0:57:13 > 0:57:19- But he might think you're a burglar and shoot you!- Sure. It's all right.

0:57:20 > 0:57:24Think maybe I'd better stay here till he goes.

0:57:26 > 0:57:31Well, I have a few minutes to kill. I'll stay here too.

0:57:31 > 0:57:36- Yes, there's no sense waiting at that station.- No, you're right.

0:57:40 > 0:57:46Usually hotels send up a maid to see you haven't stolen the towels...

0:57:48 > 0:57:53And if she found you here and it got round you were in a woman's room...

0:57:53 > 0:57:57- Without a woman...- Yes. They'd never believe you.- No.

0:58:00 > 0:58:04Are you all packed? Do you think you have everything?

0:58:04 > 0:58:06I'm quite sure.

0:58:06 > 0:58:10I always forget things when I go to hotels.

0:58:10 > 0:58:12Leave them in drawers.

0:58:12 > 0:58:18HE FUMBLES THROUGH THE DRAWERS

0:58:16 > 0:58:18CRASH!

0:58:19 > 0:58:21Nothing in there.

0:58:21 > 0:58:26I left some books in the desk drawer. Do you mind returning them for me?

0:58:29 > 0:58:35May I keep one by? The university has so many, they wouldn't miss just one.

0:58:35 > 0:58:38- Sure. - Would you autograph it for me?

0:58:38 > 0:58:41- I'm not the author! - But you're much better!

0:58:41 > 0:58:44There's ink in the kitchen.

0:58:46 > 0:58:48Close the drawer.

0:59:14 > 0:59:18"Francie, darling, I love you. Never read beyond this page."

0:59:18 > 0:59:21Darling, don't let me go!

0:59:21 > 0:59:24Oh, that makes sense.

0:59:29 > 0:59:30Who's there?

0:59:30 > 0:59:34The clerk. Your train leaves in 15 minutes.

0:59:34 > 0:59:37She's not going! You can return the tickets!

0:59:38 > 0:59:40Who's that?

0:59:40 > 0:59:43- Return the tickets!- Ssh! Hush!

0:59:43 > 0:59:48- Do I have to go now?- Yes, darling. Goodbye, sweet. See you tomorrow.

0:59:48 > 0:59:51Open up. This is against the rules.

0:59:53 > 0:59:56Will you open the door? Where is he?

0:59:56 > 1:00:00DEEP VOICE: What "he"? What do you mean, "he"?

1:00:00 > 1:00:05What's the matter? I have a cold and it makes me very hoarse.

1:00:05 > 1:00:07O-O-O-OH!

1:00:07 > 1:00:13You take some hot tea, lemon and molasses, honey and butter,

1:00:13 > 1:00:15put them together... And it spells mother.

1:00:25 > 1:00:28TOOTS HORN

1:00:34 > 1:00:39- Good evening.- Were Miss Brent a lady, she'd show you to the ladder.

1:00:39 > 1:00:42I was giving her some homework.

1:00:46 > 1:00:47Night.

1:00:50 > 1:00:53Oh...I left the car over here.

1:00:56 > 1:01:01- How's Mrs Morgan?- Fine.- I'm going to read to her.- That's very kind.

1:01:01 > 1:01:04The doctor says she must have rest and quiet.

1:01:04 > 1:01:07SLAM! I said quiet!

1:01:07 > 1:01:09I didn't say nothin'!

1:01:11 > 1:01:13SLAM! Did I?

1:01:15 > 1:01:18PHONE RINGS

1:01:19 > 1:01:20Hello?

1:01:20 > 1:01:24- Hello, Francie.- Oh, hello, darling!

1:01:24 > 1:01:28- Hey, you're late!- Where are you? - Just beginning class.

1:01:28 > 1:01:36I'll be over just as soon as I get up, take my bath, eat breakfast and tell you how much I love you.

1:01:36 > 1:01:37Ow!

1:01:37 > 1:01:40Walter's lumpy.

1:01:40 > 1:01:42Well, do you love me?!

1:01:42 > 1:01:44Hmm? Ye...yes!

1:01:44 > 1:01:47- Yes, what?- I do!

1:01:47 > 1:01:51- You do what? - Love you, but there's people here.

1:01:53 > 1:01:56Well, who do you love? Come on, tell me!

1:01:56 > 1:01:58Er...

1:01:58 > 1:02:01If you'll submit a sample...

1:02:01 > 1:02:02er...

1:02:02 > 1:02:07I would love to make a test of it for you. Get it?

1:02:07 > 1:02:09I got it!

1:02:12 > 1:02:20"..The piety that blossoms into character, making it august and lovely. ..These attributes..."

1:02:21 > 1:02:22Helen?

1:02:22 > 1:02:30- Oh, Mrs Morgan.- What's the matter? - That girl we thought was Keith's - well, she's not, she's Peter's!

1:02:30 > 1:02:33Probably nothing. A silly flirtation.

1:02:33 > 1:02:38Is leaving a woman's apartment in the dead of night a flirtation?

1:02:38 > 1:02:42Gossip. Pay no attention to what you hear.

1:02:42 > 1:02:46I saw him sneaking out this morning with my own eyes!

1:02:49 > 1:02:55There's only one way to handle a woman like that. I'm getting up!

1:03:08 > 1:03:10Hello!

1:03:10 > 1:03:14May I come in? Why, yes, please do.

1:03:18 > 1:03:21Won't you sit down? May I remain standing?

1:03:21 > 1:03:24That's fine, Mrs Morgan.

1:03:24 > 1:03:28You knowing who I am simplifies what I have to say to you.

1:03:29 > 1:03:33Young lady, I know all about you and Peter.

1:03:34 > 1:03:36Mother...

1:03:36 > 1:03:41I'm so glad you know. We didn't know how to tell you we were married.

1:03:41 > 1:03:44Now it all seems so simple!

1:03:44 > 1:03:47I was so worried I might lose him!

1:03:47 > 1:03:53It sounds silly, but I took one look at him, and I said, "That's the guy."

1:03:53 > 1:03:59Well, it's the first I've heard! I think I will take that chair.

1:03:59 > 1:04:03Oh, you...you mean they didn't tell you?

1:04:03 > 1:04:06I'd never have done this to you! Your heart...

1:04:06 > 1:04:09Want some water? How do you feel?

1:04:09 > 1:04:11You know...

1:04:13 > 1:04:16..I think I'm going to feel fine.

1:04:16 > 1:04:19Oh dear, I intended to start so differently!

1:04:19 > 1:04:25I wanted to ask you what Peter likes, and, mainly, how to make him happy.

1:04:25 > 1:04:27I think you'll manage that.

1:04:27 > 1:04:30May I have a cigarette?

1:04:34 > 1:04:37Your heart! Oh, nonsense!

1:04:37 > 1:04:40You have heart trouble. Oh, well...

1:04:40 > 1:04:45Maybe I do have heart trouble... when it's convenient.

1:04:46 > 1:04:50Whenever my husband raises his voice, oh, my dear...

1:04:50 > 1:04:58it saves so much wear and tear and you avoid listening to boring details about the university.

1:04:58 > 1:05:03They bring you your meals in bed and it's quiet and love... It's lovely!

1:05:03 > 1:05:08I've spent the best years of my marriage in bed with heart trouble!

1:05:08 > 1:05:10Morning, Francie...

1:05:10 > 1:05:16Oh, Aunt Martha! I...just came to drive Miss Brent to school.

1:05:16 > 1:05:19Mrs Morgan knows about the marriage.

1:05:19 > 1:05:22How do you feel, Auntie?

1:05:22 > 1:05:29Better than that. I don't wish to be nosey, but what did you do before you married Peter?

1:05:29 > 1:05:37You never heard of Francie Brent, the darling of Broadway?! Huh! Auntie, do you know the Big Apple?

1:05:37 > 1:05:41Well, it's a fruit, but I don't know which one.

1:05:41 > 1:05:47- Come on, Francie, we'll give her a chunk.- Oh.- Get into this thing.

1:05:47 > 1:05:50One, two, three. Come on, Francie, get in it!

1:05:50 > 1:05:53One, two, three - swing out!

1:05:53 > 1:05:56- Swing low.- What can I do with him?

1:05:56 > 1:05:58Swing high!

1:05:59 > 1:06:01And a stomp!

1:06:01 > 1:06:05Young man, I want to see Miss Francie Brent.

1:06:05 > 1:06:08307. But girls should meet boyfriends down here.

1:06:08 > 1:06:14I'm president of the university. Well, why aren't you in school?

1:06:14 > 1:06:17I'm playing hooky! Oh, for shame!

1:06:17 > 1:06:19And across. on, two, three, turn!

1:06:19 > 1:06:21TURNS UP MUSIC

1:06:23 > 1:06:27Come on. Get into it! Come on, Mrs Morgan.

1:06:27 > 1:06:31- Praise Allah! Praise Allah! - Don't you want to do the Big Apple?

1:06:31 > 1:06:35- Oh, no, I couldn't! Oh, please. - Come on...

1:08:14 > 1:08:19- Have you quite finished? - It's for my heart.

1:08:22 > 1:08:24My heart.

1:08:27 > 1:08:29One surprise after another.

1:08:29 > 1:08:34We were celebrating Mother knowing about Peter and me.

1:08:34 > 1:08:37"Mother"? Very domestic.

1:08:37 > 1:08:39You'd better sit down, dear.

1:08:42 > 1:08:45You look like a practical lady. Please, dear.

1:08:45 > 1:08:49I know you don't approve of me. Do you expect me to?

1:08:49 > 1:08:53You know nothing about me. Peter met you in a dancehall.

1:08:53 > 1:08:58Before he had a chance to catch his breath, you hooked him.

1:08:58 > 1:09:03I hooked him for that very desirable and very underpaid job of his

1:09:03 > 1:09:08or his social condition. Is that what you mean?

1:09:08 > 1:09:12The solution to a situation like this is quiet divorce.

1:09:14 > 1:09:20You're not grading papers or dismissing classes. He's my husband.

1:09:20 > 1:09:25If you insist on being unreasonable, I must ask Peter for his resignation.

1:09:25 > 1:09:30You can't do that! Come, dear. I must be off.

1:09:30 > 1:09:34SHE WHISTLES "Come on. Come on!

1:09:34 > 1:09:36"Come here. Go there."

1:09:36 > 1:09:41Thirty years I've had of it and all for Old Sharon.

1:09:42 > 1:09:46All for the alma mater. You laugh when you want to cry.

1:09:46 > 1:09:50If you want to laugh, don't laugh too loudly.

1:09:50 > 1:09:55Don't wear a red dress, even though you love red. Red's too conspicuous.

1:09:55 > 1:09:58Our alma mater. Alma mater...

1:09:58 > 1:10:04Your sons and daughters are true blue and we love you through and through.

1:10:04 > 1:10:11Even though you break my son's heart, I'm still supposed to love you through and through.

1:10:13 > 1:10:16Well, you can have your alma mater.

1:10:16 > 1:10:21But here's one of her daughters who won't love her any more!

1:10:21 > 1:10:25Coming, my dear? Coming?! I'm going!

1:10:32 > 1:10:37And I'm going too, Mr Morgan. Thank you.

1:10:37 > 1:10:42Lepto - delicate, spor - seed, angi, means case or vessel.

1:10:42 > 1:10:47Leptosporangi - a seedcase formed from a single delicate cell.

1:10:47 > 1:10:49- Is it clearer now?- Yes, Professor.

1:10:49 > 1:10:55But in the reproduction of ferns, which matures first - the male or female?

1:11:01 > 1:11:04- Keith, what are you doing here? - Drowning your sorrows.

1:11:04 > 1:11:07Would you get out and go home?

1:11:07 > 1:11:11Dad's showing Mr Noble around. He'll be here any minute.

1:11:11 > 1:11:15- Professor?- Yes? Repeat the question, please.

1:11:15 > 1:11:17In the reproduction of the fern...?

1:11:17 > 1:11:21What's the idea? It's the first time you've done this.

1:11:21 > 1:11:27- It's the first time your wife's ever left you.- What did you say?

1:11:27 > 1:11:29I said, in the reproduction...

1:11:29 > 1:11:32Your wife's leaving on the four o'clock train.

1:11:33 > 1:11:38- Culpepper, take the class! - What will I do?- Talk!

1:11:43 > 1:11:48- Francie! Francie!- Tell her I'll see her in New York.- Keith told me...

1:11:48 > 1:11:50But listen, you can't do this.

1:11:50 > 1:11:54No, darling, I'm leaving. There's nothing you can do.

1:11:54 > 1:11:57No, darling, listen...

1:12:00 > 1:12:04All right. Catch the four o'clock train.

1:12:04 > 1:12:08If I don't have it all straightened out by four, catch it.

1:12:08 > 1:12:14But I'll have it straightened out before four! I'm won't say goodbye!

1:12:14 > 1:12:17I love you, darling. Goodbye.

1:12:20 > 1:12:26Don't toss it all away on a girl who'll blacken the name of Morgan.

1:12:26 > 1:12:30As if I couldn't blacken my own name!

1:12:32 > 1:12:35Hey, don't break that!

1:12:35 > 1:12:39Before I get through, he'll think Francie's too good for me.

1:12:45 > 1:12:51A quarter litre there. Well, it's as good a name-blackener as any.

1:12:51 > 1:12:54Take it easy!

1:13:05 > 1:13:09Merciful saints preserve us! Today, you are a man!

1:13:12 > 1:13:14- HOARSELY:- I don't feel a thing!

1:13:14 > 1:13:17Not a thing. Do you have any more?

1:13:17 > 1:13:21- I'll get some. - No, I don't have time.

1:13:22 > 1:13:24Shhh!

1:13:24 > 1:13:27I'll make it myself.

1:13:32 > 1:13:34Hold that!

1:13:50 > 1:13:55I've saved this one for last. It's my son's class.

1:13:55 > 1:14:00Even if it was somebody else's son, it would still be the best class.

1:14:00 > 1:14:06I bet you tipped the boy off we were coming. Come in, gentlemen.

1:14:06 > 1:14:11You know, moments of ecstasy and... moments of depression.

1:14:12 > 1:14:16- Go ahead, Mr Culpepper.- Yes, sir.

1:14:16 > 1:14:18Do me a little favour.

1:14:18 > 1:14:21Divorce Francie so she can marry me.

1:14:21 > 1:14:23What do you say?

1:14:23 > 1:14:28I told Francie that if she divorced you...I'd marry her.

1:14:30 > 1:14:31What do you say?

1:14:31 > 1:14:35- In the contemplation... - BREAKING GLASS >

1:14:37 > 1:14:43- In the contemplation of plant... - CRASHING AND BANGING >

1:14:43 > 1:14:49..Jack and the beanstalk. After all, the bean isn't the enemy of man.

1:14:49 > 1:14:51Or is it?

1:14:57 > 1:15:00I'll take the class. Thank you.

1:15:03 > 1:15:07Open discussion. Any questions?

1:15:09 > 1:15:11I know I have!

1:15:11 > 1:15:15I know Cuttledepfeffer has, haven't you?

1:15:15 > 1:15:18Well, speak up, man! Speak up!

1:15:18 > 1:15:25Well, yes I have. But I don't believe I'd be able to make myself clear.

1:15:27 > 1:15:30You come from Texas, don't you?

1:15:30 > 1:15:33Yes, I do! Bless her!

1:15:33 > 1:15:35Texas... Bless her.

1:15:35 > 1:15:39YIIIIIIP-PEEEEE!

1:15:42 > 1:15:46A chip off... A chip off the old block!

1:15:46 > 1:15:49Excuse me, Peter. Class is dismissed.

1:15:49 > 1:15:52PETER WHISTLES

1:15:52 > 1:15:57Peter isn't feeling very well. He never felt better in his life!

1:15:58 > 1:16:01Oh, don't take this too seriously.

1:16:01 > 1:16:08There's nothing like a liberal education! You get your library! Yippee!

1:16:08 > 1:16:12Peter, what are you trying to do?

1:16:12 > 1:16:15Sir, I am a blaggard! How am I doing?

1:16:15 > 1:16:20In front of your class! What explanation can we make?

1:16:20 > 1:16:24Well, sir, I figure that if I could do a pretty good job

1:16:24 > 1:16:28of blackening the Morgan name, she'd fit right in.

1:16:28 > 1:16:30- So that's it!- THAT is it!

1:16:30 > 1:16:35- You don't know what's good for you. - Well, one of us must be wrong.

1:16:35 > 1:16:40While you are a member of my faculty, you must do as I say!

1:16:43 > 1:16:48- Then consider me no longer a member of the faculty.- Now, Peter...

1:16:48 > 1:16:50Surprised! Surprised!

1:16:50 > 1:16:56Surprised that any Morgan would put anything above the university!

1:16:56 > 1:16:59Dad, listen to me. I love it here.

1:16:59 > 1:17:05There's nothing in this whole world that I would be than a professor

1:17:05 > 1:17:09EXCEPT a good husband to my wife.

1:17:09 > 1:17:11Now, you may not understand that.

1:17:11 > 1:17:15If you don't understand, I feel sorry for you.

1:17:15 > 1:17:23But I refuse to sacrifice my wife's happiness for this university, as much as I love it.

1:17:23 > 1:17:26All aboard! >

1:17:35 > 1:17:39Oooh! I've got five minutes to get to the station.

1:17:39 > 1:17:43- I won't let you go... - I have no time to talk.

1:17:45 > 1:17:48Are you all right, Peter?

1:17:48 > 1:17:51Take it easy. Take it easy.

1:17:51 > 1:17:53You've just had one too many.

1:17:57 > 1:18:01TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWS

1:18:23 > 1:18:25SHE SOBS

1:18:25 > 1:18:29KNOCK AT DOOR

1:18:31 > 1:18:33Come in.

1:18:35 > 1:18:38A nice cold ham sandwich.

1:18:38 > 1:18:44The kitchen was about to close. A minute later and that ham would be in the ice box.

1:18:52 > 1:18:55Is everything all right?

1:18:57 > 1:19:01Very nice... Thank you.

1:19:10 > 1:19:13KNOCK AT DOOR

1:19:14 > 1:19:17Come in.

1:19:17 > 1:19:23Here you is, ma'am. A nice cold ham sandwich. I just caught the cook.

1:19:23 > 1:19:26I said, "There's a lady who craves ham."

1:19:30 > 1:19:33Would you prefer wholewheat bread?

1:19:33 > 1:19:37Oh, no... No, this is really very nice.

1:19:41 > 1:19:44I know how you feel, lady.

1:20:05 > 1:20:08Here's your mustard.

1:20:08 > 1:20:11Oh, I don't want it now!

1:20:13 > 1:20:16I can't eat anything!

1:20:16 > 1:20:19I reckon I couldn't eat nothing either.

1:20:22 > 1:20:26Oh, would you get me some cigarettes, please?

1:20:26 > 1:20:30I'm sorry, lady, but the bar is closed.

1:20:30 > 1:20:33SHE SOBS

1:20:33 > 1:20:37But I'll get you some if I have to steal them!

1:20:46 > 1:20:50Mister, would you give me a cigarette, please?

1:20:51 > 1:20:54Oh, porter.

1:20:55 > 1:21:01SOBBING: Will you please get me a pack of cigarettes, too?

1:21:01 > 1:21:05I borrowed the last one the gentleman had.

1:21:05 > 1:21:09For the lady next door - she seems to be awfully low.

1:21:09 > 1:21:13But you look like you're lower, so take it.

1:21:13 > 1:21:16Oh, no. I couldn't take the last...

1:21:16 > 1:21:18Well...

1:21:26 > 1:21:30HE SOBS: That's awfully sweet of you.

1:21:43 > 1:21:49I got the last cigarette a gentleman had. But the lady next door is awfully low

1:21:49 > 1:21:54and she takes one end and sends you the other end.

1:21:57 > 1:21:59Oh, Mother!

1:22:08 > 1:22:10BRIGHTLY: Hello, Mother.

1:22:10 > 1:22:12Why, Francie!

1:22:12 > 1:22:15Oh, my dear. Sit down.

1:22:17 > 1:22:20I've just left my husband.

1:22:20 > 1:22:22Me too. I've just left mine.

1:22:22 > 1:22:27Oh, so glad to see you. I was so hungry!

1:22:27 > 1:22:29Have part of my sandwich.

1:22:29 > 1:22:32Oh, how lovely.

1:22:32 > 1:22:36All of this for me? I'm as hungry as a wolf.

1:22:37 > 1:22:41Me too! I guess it must be this freedom.

1:22:41 > 1:22:44I...I feel so free...

1:22:47 > 1:22:50Yes, that's how I feel. Free!

1:22:50 > 1:22:55New York will be so much fun! So many gay places.

1:22:55 > 1:23:00We can go where we want to... ..and do what we want to.

1:23:00 > 1:23:03Wear what we want without husbands...

1:23:03 > 1:23:05..to watch out after us...

1:23:05 > 1:23:08..and to bother us.

1:23:08 > 1:23:12- You know you don't feel good. - I know I don't.

1:23:12 > 1:23:18Oh, it's all my fault. I came along and caused all this trouble.

1:23:18 > 1:23:21Your mustard, ma'am.

1:23:22 > 1:23:27It doesn't matter about Peter and me. I hardly knew him!

1:23:39 > 1:23:42Would you make up our berths?

1:23:44 > 1:23:47Good night, dear.

1:23:53 > 1:23:55Pardon me!

1:23:55 > 1:23:58What is it? We hit a car.

1:23:58 > 1:24:02Was anybody hurt? Nobody in it.

1:24:05 > 1:24:07Good night. Good night.

1:24:08 > 1:24:15There must be a less expensive way of stopping a train than wrecking your car!

1:24:15 > 1:24:22- The next time your wife leaves you, you work it out! - That car is valued at 200!

1:24:22 > 1:24:26My wife is valued at more and I'm not gonna trade her in!

1:24:26 > 1:24:32- I'm looking for a young girl. A blonde...- Left her husband?- Yeah! - Compartment B.

1:24:32 > 1:24:36Porter. a lady... Compartment C.

1:24:39 > 1:24:42Who is it? Open the door!

1:24:44 > 1:24:48Mother, open this door! I've come to take you home.

1:24:48 > 1:24:51This nonsense must stop.

1:24:53 > 1:24:55Quiet, please.

1:24:55 > 1:24:58A big shot in the French Revolution!

1:24:58 > 1:25:01Dad, you have a decision to make.

1:25:01 > 1:25:08- What do you suggest? - What do you want most - your high horse or your wife?

1:25:14 > 1:25:16Go away!

1:25:22 > 1:25:25Oh, oh, I was in that wreck.

1:25:25 > 1:25:28The train struck me. Oh, my heart.

1:25:28 > 1:25:32Oh, my heart! Oh! Why didn't you tell me?

1:25:36 > 1:25:38My poor dear!

1:25:46 > 1:25:50Oh, darling! How did you get here?

1:25:55 > 1:26:00- A honeymoon without a husband is silly, isn't it?- Uh-huh.

1:26:01 > 1:26:03Look out!
