0:01:11 > 0:01:16And may this be the fate of all witches, warlocks and sorcerers
0:01:16 > 0:01:21who attempt to work evil magic within the township limits of Roxford.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24The book of exorcism, please.
0:01:25 > 0:01:30Mayest thou and thy kind be condemned forever to eternal flames,
0:01:30 > 0:01:34never to return to the neighbourhood of Roxford.
0:01:35 > 0:01:40While we prepare for the extinction of the father of this witch,
0:01:40 > 0:01:46the sorcerer who attempted to come to her aid, there will be a short intermission.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49Popped maize!
0:01:49 > 0:01:52Get your fresh, popped maize, tuppence a poke!
0:01:52 > 0:01:57It's hot, it's fresh. An anti-witch charm in every poke!
0:01:57 > 0:02:01Popped maize! Here we are! It's fresh!
0:02:01 > 0:02:04Popped maize, Master Wooley?
0:02:05 > 0:02:09- What has got into thee, Jonathan? - What?
0:02:09 > 0:02:15- Dost doubt she was a witch? - I should never have accused her if I were not sure.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19- AND her father. - Unquestionably a sorcerer.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24Mother, if thou hadst seen what I saw...
0:02:24 > 0:02:28We both saw our cows turn pink and our sheep dance a minuet.
0:02:28 > 0:02:34- Thou didst not see Jennifer. - Jennifer?- She told me her name when she chased me into the hay loft.
0:02:34 > 0:02:41She was young and beautifully fair - fairer than all women that ever were.
0:02:41 > 0:02:48- How didst not tell the judges? - I could never describe her beauty. - What happened in the hay loft?
0:02:48 > 0:02:52She brought her golden tresses close to my face,
0:02:52 > 0:02:57and whispered, "Jonathan Wooley, thou hast denounced me as a witch!
0:02:57 > 0:02:59"For that, thou shall be accursed.
0:02:59 > 0:03:05"Thou and thy children and thy children's children - all will be under the same curse."
0:03:09 > 0:03:15- What was the curse?- I and all my descendants will be unhappy in love.
0:03:15 > 0:03:20- The marriages we make would be disastrous until...- Yes?
0:03:21 > 0:03:24- It is too wicked to tell thee! - Rubbish!
0:03:24 > 0:03:28- Thou art betrothed to Purity Sykes. - I am, Mother.
0:03:28 > 0:03:33- And Purity is a woman among thousands.- Aye, Mother, she is that.
0:03:33 > 0:03:38Wouldst leave thou future wife stood there all alone? ..What ails him?
0:03:38 > 0:03:41Ah, Purity, he is a dreamer.
0:03:41 > 0:03:47He needs only a firm hand. ..I must ask thee to be more attentive. In future...
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Look!
0:03:49 > 0:03:53The oak tree will be planted over their ashes.
0:03:53 > 0:03:58- Why?- To hold the evil spirits - shh! - prisoner in its roots,
0:03:58 > 0:04:03thus keeping their wicked powers from surviving...
0:04:04 > 0:04:06..I hope!
0:04:10 > 0:04:17This is the tree which was planted over their ashes. The witches' spirits are imprisoned in its roots.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20Imprisoned for ever!
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Martha,
0:04:24 > 0:04:27I have the honour to...
0:04:27 > 0:04:29- to...- Are you proposing to me?
0:04:29 > 0:04:33- Yes, Martha.- Oh, Nathaniel!
0:04:34 > 0:04:38GIGGLING
0:04:38 > 0:04:40What was that?
0:04:42 > 0:04:46MAN: War is declared to free the state!
0:04:49 > 0:04:55- That's it! That's it! Control yourself!- Drop your hand - I wish to throw this vase!
0:04:55 > 0:04:59- Master Wooley, there's war!- Where is the nearest recruitment office?
0:04:59 > 0:05:03Oh, running off to war like a coward!
0:05:05 > 0:05:09ENGINE DROWNS OUT SPEECH
0:05:11 > 0:05:14HE HONKS HORN
0:05:34 > 0:05:39I'm not talking about the whole house. It's that living room!
0:05:39 > 0:05:42THUNDER DROWNS OUT SPEECH
0:05:43 > 0:05:46Estelle! ..Now, listen to me!
0:05:46 > 0:05:48Estelle!
0:05:49 > 0:05:52- Estelle! Estelle, please!- What?
0:05:52 > 0:05:56Miss Masterson? ..Hold it!
0:05:56 > 0:05:59One more!
0:06:00 > 0:06:03- Papa, I'm leaving.- Smile!
0:06:06 > 0:06:08Will you try to be more pleasant?
0:06:08 > 0:06:12< Members of Roxford Country Club... Another toast!
0:06:12 > 0:06:19I realise that lovebirds would like to be out on the veranda whispering sweet nothings!
0:06:19 > 0:06:26After the ceremony tomorrow, they will have the rest of their lives for billing and cooing - mostly billing!
0:06:27 > 0:06:34If the voters here have any sense, they will insist that the honeymoon is spent in the Governor's mansion!
0:06:34 > 0:06:36Speech!
0:06:37 > 0:06:41Go ahead! You might pick up a few more votes!
0:06:41 > 0:06:46CROWD: We want Wooley! We want Wooley! We want Wooley!
0:06:46 > 0:06:49CHANTING CONTINUES
0:06:53 > 0:07:00I see getting married as well as trying to get elected calls for speeches!
0:07:00 > 0:07:04LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
0:07:06 > 0:07:10I can truly say that a new life is beginning for me.
0:07:10 > 0:07:14THUNDER All right, it's just a storm!
0:07:14 > 0:07:19Ladies and gentlemen, while at the moment the future seems dark...
0:07:19 > 0:07:24Well, you see? One never knows what the next moment will bring!
0:07:55 > 0:07:59- Where am I? What's happened? - A miracle! A miracle!
0:07:59 > 0:08:02We're free again - free at last!
0:08:02 > 0:08:07- Who's speaking?- It is I, thy father, Daniel!- But thou hast no substance!
0:08:07 > 0:08:14Nor hast thou, Jennifer. We are smoke - witches' smoke. But our evil spirits have survived.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18We'll plague the human race again.
0:08:18 > 0:08:24First we'll visit the cornfield and ruin the crop - a good way to limber up!
0:08:24 > 0:08:28Look, Father! The cornfield is no longer there.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31Well, we must expect a few changes in 270 years.
0:08:31 > 0:08:37- Were our spirits in the wood that long?- Aye, I counted the tree rings.
0:08:38 > 0:08:43See? They've built a new house. It seems all ablaze. Is it on fire?
0:08:43 > 0:08:47- Not yet! - HE CACKLES
0:08:49 > 0:08:54Would you like to cut a rug? Let's go to heaven in your jalopy!
0:08:54 > 0:08:57You're cooking on the front burner!
0:08:57 > 0:09:02- What language is that, Father? - I don't know, but we'll learn it.
0:09:07 > 0:09:14- See how they dance today! They stand so close!- Well, well, well! Things have changed!
0:09:14 > 0:09:21- I never thought I'd see clothes like that here.- These cannot be the descendants of the Puritans we knew!
0:09:25 > 0:09:32- THERE'S something that hasn't changed in 270 years! - Keep thy mind on our business!
0:09:32 > 0:09:35It would be nice to have lips -
0:09:35 > 0:09:40lips to whisper lies, lips to kiss a man and make him suffer.
0:09:40 > 0:09:47- Father, why cannot I have lips and eyes and hair?- Careful, someone's coming! Quick, do as I do!
0:09:48 > 0:09:53These bottles - we'll hide in them. Quick, quick, quick!
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Whee!
0:09:56 > 0:10:02- Are you all right, Jennifer? - ('Tis full of bubbles in here. They tickle!)
0:10:02 > 0:10:07- My bottle has the tang of rum! - (Look, Father!)
0:10:10 > 0:10:13(Come closer, man, so I can see thee better.)
0:10:17 > 0:10:20Riddle-dee-dee! Riddle-dee-do!
0:10:20 > 0:10:23Get thee hence and stub thy toe!
0:10:30 > 0:10:34(He looked familiar. Could we follow him?)
0:10:47 > 0:10:53- What'll it be, Mr Wooley?- The same. Bourbon.- Yes, sir, Mr Wooley.
0:10:53 > 0:10:58(Wooley! I knew I recognised those features!)
0:10:58 > 0:11:02Well, well, well! A descendant of the man who had us burned!
0:11:02 > 0:11:06THEY LAUGH No wonder he looks so unhappy!
0:11:06 > 0:11:10I put a curse upon his family!
0:11:10 > 0:11:14Well, I thought lovebirds always flew around in pairs!
0:11:14 > 0:11:19- Estelle's talking politics. - What's wrong? Election jitters?- No.
0:11:19 > 0:11:25How can I lose? Masterson is backing me. My future father-in-law has never backed a loser.
0:11:25 > 0:11:32- If he spoils his record this time, I'll have to hock my stethoscope. - It's a sure thing. Look at that!
0:11:32 > 0:11:38Posters at a private party. The marriage is just another campaign stunt to him,
0:11:38 > 0:11:43insisting we hold it the day before the election for the publicity.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47- I think you've had enough to drink. - Estelle...- I'd like to go home.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51- Yes, dear. Can we drop you, Dudley? - Yes, thanks.
0:11:53 > 0:11:59JENNIFER GIGGLES The curse is working. She has the look of a shrew!
0:12:00 > 0:12:03Here, Tom.
0:12:07 > 0:12:12Jennifer, what's that curse thou wast chattering about?
0:12:12 > 0:12:17- Each Wooley must marry the wrong woman.- Ha! What a curse!
0:12:17 > 0:12:21Every man who marries, marries the wrong woman!
0:12:22 > 0:12:28True suffering cometh when a man is in love with the woman he CANNOT marry.
0:12:28 > 0:12:34Father, suppose a man were in love with a witch - with me! I would not marry him.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37- HICCUPS - Ooh, pardon me!
0:12:37 > 0:12:43I need air! # For, tonight, I merry, merry be Tomorrow I'll be sober! #
0:12:43 > 0:12:48- SLURRED SPEECH:- Let's get out of here. Let's go for a little ride.
0:12:49 > 0:12:53- HE WHISTLES - Broom!
0:12:54 > 0:12:57Father, give me a body.
0:12:57 > 0:13:02Oh, no! Thou didst get into enough trouble with thy last one.
0:13:02 > 0:13:09- Thou canst not give me a body. Thou wouldst not even know how to begin! - No? ..I'd merely make a little fire.
0:13:09 > 0:13:15Thy last body was destroyed by flame. Thy new one would be born in flame!
0:13:15 > 0:13:21- Prove it! Start that great house on fire!- A hotel for pilgrims.
0:13:21 > 0:13:25'Twould be a pleasure burning that. All right, I will!
0:13:25 > 0:13:31Worra, worra, bizzle, dizzle Let the flames begin to sizzle!
0:13:31 > 0:13:35P-I-L-G-R-I-M
0:13:35 > 0:13:37H-O-T-E-L!
0:13:38 > 0:13:43- Goodbye, father!- Goodbye, Jennifer. Be a bad girl.
0:13:47 > 0:13:53- That's the Pilgrim Hotel!- It would be on our way home(!)- We must stop.
0:13:53 > 0:13:57You won't go through fire for your future wife?!
0:13:58 > 0:14:01FIRE BELLS RING
0:14:02 > 0:14:05Look! I never saw such a fire!
0:14:05 > 0:14:09- Can we get through? - Sorry, Mr Wooley. It's blocked off.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14That firebug again! He did a good job!
0:14:14 > 0:14:18This is the greatest fire I've ever seen!
0:14:19 > 0:14:21Laps up water like a cat!
0:14:21 > 0:14:26Did everyone get out? Yes. They're all accounted for.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29It's OK. Everybody's safe.
0:14:30 > 0:14:34- We're stuck here for a while. - Tell them who you are!
0:14:34 > 0:14:37- I'm sorry...- Where are you going?
0:14:38 > 0:14:40It's Mr Wooley!
0:14:40 > 0:14:43Make way for Mr Wooley! Make way!
0:14:44 > 0:14:46Mr Wooley!
0:14:46 > 0:14:52- Would you like to go through? - Yes, thank you.- Let him get by! I'm voting for you!
0:14:52 > 0:14:57Hello, Mr Wooley. Don't get too close. I got a bet riding on you!
0:14:57 > 0:15:00- How did it happen?- No-one knows.
0:15:00 > 0:15:06There was an explosion on the roof. The top floor went, then the fifth and fourth. Now it's on the third!
0:15:06 > 0:15:14- Soon it'll be on the second, then the first. Then it'll all cave in!- What's so funny?- It's fully insured.
0:15:14 > 0:15:21- I love building new things. I want to build it in a gothic design! Don't you love gothic?- Quite.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24Did you hear that voice?!
0:15:32 > 0:15:36- Somebody's inside! - FAINT CRY
0:15:36 > 0:15:41- I didn't hear anything! - It was so clear! A woman's voice!
0:15:41 > 0:15:44- There's nobody in there.- Wait!
0:15:44 > 0:15:46There it is again.
0:16:00 > 0:16:05- Here I am, Mr Wooley! Over here! - Where?! I-I can't see!
0:16:05 > 0:16:08Just walk - you'll find me!
0:16:09 > 0:16:14- Keep walking this way. ..THIS way! - Are you all right?
0:16:14 > 0:16:20I think so. Two legs, two arms, a face, hair. Yes, I seem to be complete.
0:16:20 > 0:16:26- Why don't you come out? - I've been waiting for YOU.- Where are you?- You're getting warmer.
0:16:26 > 0:16:31- Here's my hand.- How can I get you out of here? I can't see a thing.
0:16:31 > 0:16:36- I can see you. How do you do? - Never mind. Let's get out of here!
0:16:36 > 0:16:42- Have you a gazing glass?- A what? - A mirror! I want to see what I look like.- At a time like this?!
0:16:42 > 0:16:47- I'm cold.- Cold? In this furnace?! - But I have no clothes.- No clothes!
0:16:47 > 0:16:50- Here, put this on. - HE COUGHS
0:16:50 > 0:16:57- How did you get here?- From the top floor. ..Why do you look away? Am I not pretty?- Who cares? Come on!
0:16:58 > 0:17:02- Get up! Get up! - I can't!- Here, I'll carry you!
0:17:02 > 0:17:07- Legs are funny when you're not used to them, aren't they?!- Huh?
0:17:07 > 0:17:13- What's the hurry?- The whole building was on the third floor. Now it's fallen to the second.
0:17:13 > 0:17:20- Soon we'll be buried alive!- Nothing will happen to us.- You don't know what you're talking about.- I do!
0:17:20 > 0:17:22Here's a door!
0:17:24 > 0:17:26Here!
0:17:26 > 0:17:30BELL RINGS
0:17:36 > 0:17:38This way's blocked!
0:17:38 > 0:17:41There are bars on the window!
0:17:41 > 0:17:43Quick! ..Where are you?
0:17:43 > 0:17:48I've found a better coat and a mirror! ..Ooh, not bad!
0:17:48 > 0:17:53I'm a blonde. Would you rather I be a brunette?
0:17:53 > 0:17:57If you don't get out of here, you'll be a redhead!
0:17:57 > 0:18:01SOUND OF FALLING MASONRY
0:18:12 > 0:18:15That was the second floor.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19There's no way out.
0:18:19 > 0:18:24- We're goners, little girl. - Perhaps I should be little.
0:18:24 > 0:18:31- I'm just as high as your heart! - Did you hear what I said? We're trapped!- Just we two!
0:18:32 > 0:18:36Before I got here, what hit you on the head?
0:18:36 > 0:18:41- I felt nothing until your hand touched mine.- Oh, I see.
0:18:41 > 0:18:45- It was nice meeting you. - Oh, would you like to leave now?
0:18:45 > 0:18:49It would be a pleasure, but that door is now a wall.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52We can use the one behind the screen.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55What...?
0:18:55 > 0:19:01- Quick, it's our only chance! - I want to fix my hair.- Come on, while you still have a head!
0:19:21 > 0:19:23Do you like blondes?
0:19:23 > 0:19:26May I get a picture, please?
0:19:26 > 0:19:28He saved somebody!
0:19:28 > 0:19:30Stand back!
0:19:33 > 0:19:37- Are you all right? - I guess so.- You gave me a scare!
0:19:37 > 0:19:42- Wally, take me away from these people!- Here, Dudley!
0:19:42 > 0:19:47- She's suffering from shock. - I'll take you to a hospital!
0:19:50 > 0:19:56- I hope she's all right.- It's only natural for you to be concerned(!)
0:19:56 > 0:19:59I've told you a dozen times...!
0:19:59 > 0:20:03- Well?- Not a scratch on her. You must be relieved!
0:20:03 > 0:20:08- Dudley...- She's never met Wally. She has delusions. - She has delusions.
0:20:08 > 0:20:13- Well, I HAVEN'T!- Estelle... - Hey, listen to me!
0:20:13 > 0:20:17I've never seen her before and I'll never see her again!
0:20:42 > 0:20:50- You...- It's too late for you to drive me home.- But...- You have to get used to pleasing ME sometimes.- OK.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52Oh, you still smell of smoke!
0:20:52 > 0:20:55- Good night, darling.- Good night.
0:21:02 > 0:21:06CAT MEWS
0:21:06 > 0:21:09Susie, you can't come in until breakfast.
0:21:09 > 0:21:14- MEWING CONTINUES - Scat! Scat!
0:21:15 > 0:21:17Susie! Susie!
0:21:23 > 0:21:25Susie?
0:21:27 > 0:21:30- Where are you?- Hello, darling!
0:21:30 > 0:21:36- You got rid of that girl!- What are YOU doing here?!- Waiting for you.
0:21:36 > 0:21:41- But the hospital...!- I didn't like it there.- How did you get here?
0:21:42 > 0:21:45You wouldn't believe me if I told you!
0:21:45 > 0:21:52- What will I do with you?- Consider me an old friend of the family! - But I've never met you.- Come here!
0:21:52 > 0:21:59- Am I not an attractive female?- What's that got to do with your being here? - Am I?- Yes, you're very pretty.
0:22:00 > 0:22:05- Take my hand again! - I know you've had a bad experience...- And now a pleasant one.
0:22:05 > 0:22:09You...have a very nice hand.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11Now it can shake mine good night.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14- You hand is cold!- So is yours.
0:22:14 > 0:22:18- Good night! - Let mine rest in yours a moment!
0:22:18 > 0:22:22- See, it's growing warmer. - Well, that's fine...
0:22:24 > 0:22:30- Amusing-looking chap, isn't he?- Yes. - Ancestor of mine.- I'm aware he is.
0:22:30 > 0:22:35- Jonathan Wooley. He would have been more hospitable.- I don't think so!
0:22:35 > 0:22:40- I have a busy day tomorrow. Time for bed!- Mmm, take my hand again!
0:22:40 > 0:22:44- You're becoming a problem.- Am I? - Yes, and that is not the solution.
0:22:44 > 0:22:51- It isn't respectable for you to be sitting in a stranger's house.- I like your resisting me!- Oh, you do?
0:22:51 > 0:22:55- Do you know what I'm going to do with you now?- Yes?
0:22:56 > 0:22:59Get up, please.
0:22:59 > 0:23:04- Where are you taking me, Wally? - We're going out!- 'Night, Jonathan!
0:23:06 > 0:23:12- I'm going to give you some money and then you can go back to where you came from.- Not yet!- Right now!
0:23:12 > 0:23:17Ooh, this is a lovely sensation! Even nicer than flying!
0:23:21 > 0:23:25- What's going on, Governor? - Not governor yet!
0:23:25 > 0:23:30- She was in a fire and lost her clothes!- No, I didn't have any!
0:23:31 > 0:23:34- Evening, sir. - Have you any money, Joe?- 8.
0:23:34 > 0:23:41- I only have 10, but here. Give it all to her and take her anyplace she wants. I'll pay you tomorrow.- Yes.
0:23:41 > 0:23:47- Now, for heaven's sake, be good. - What'll I do with the coat? - Send it to the police.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59It didn't belong to her.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02I hope that cab is heated!
0:24:05 > 0:24:08Where to, lady? ..Where to?
0:24:31 > 0:24:36DOORBELL RINGS
0:24:49 > 0:24:53- Oh!- Just wanted to make sure you're all right.
0:24:55 > 0:25:00- You certainly earned a drink.- I'll say I have.- Go and get some sleep.
0:25:00 > 0:25:05- She was here!- Who was?- The girl I saved in the fire!- Impossible.
0:25:05 > 0:25:11- When I left her in the hospital, she was sleeping like an angel. - Some hospital!
0:25:11 > 0:25:13- And some angel!- Wait a minute.
0:25:14 > 0:25:19- Tell me again slowly.- Tomorrow! I've had enough for one day.
0:25:19 > 0:25:25I've got 10,000 tied up in this election! If this gets out, you're a dead goose.
0:25:25 > 0:25:32- Think of the scandal!- That's it - the election! That girl was sent here by the opposition.- Right!
0:25:32 > 0:25:36That bunch wouldn't stop at anything! I'll say she's an amnesia case,
0:25:36 > 0:25:41give the police a description... Was she wearing that fur coat?
0:25:41 > 0:25:48Oh! ..Maybe you'd better not say anything to the police. Everything's all right now. I got rid of her.
0:25:48 > 0:25:55- Well, try and forget her, then. You want a pill to make you sleep? - No, thanks. I'm much calmer now.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59- Make sure the door locks.- OK.
0:25:59 > 0:26:03< Relax now. Good night, Wally.
0:26:03 > 0:26:07DOOR CLOSES Now, close THIS door, Wally.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11I said, close this door, Wally.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18- Now come here.- I'm coming.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21My pyjamas!
0:26:21 > 0:26:27- I don't want to call the police, but I know your whole scheme.- You do?
0:26:27 > 0:26:31- And I know who's behind it all. - You don't.- Want me to mention names?
0:26:31 > 0:26:37- What names?- County Chairman Martin J Rainfogle!- That's a nice name.- Want another?- Mm-hm.
0:26:37 > 0:26:44State Senator Conrad O'Hara Jnr! Sheriff Peter L Glasshouser and all his war dealers!
0:26:45 > 0:26:48- How much are they paying you? - Nothing.
0:26:50 > 0:26:57- You're doing it for love(?)- Yes. Father thought it'd be a good idea. - Who is he?!- You've never met him.
0:26:57 > 0:27:01- He doesn't want good administration for this state!- Or any state.
0:27:01 > 0:27:05- But he's out to get me in particular?!- Yes.
0:27:06 > 0:27:12I'm a pretty good judge of character and I don't think you're really a bad girl.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15- Don't you?- You're very young.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17I'm older than you'd guess.
0:27:17 > 0:27:22- I don't think you should go back to that father.- I'd rather stay here.
0:27:22 > 0:27:27You would? ..You really would, wouldn't you?
0:27:29 > 0:27:36Now I understand. Just because I was of some slight help in getting you out of that blazing inferno,
0:27:36 > 0:27:43perhaps you are, momentarily, infatuated with me. It isn't love. And I'm not in love with YOU.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46This'll take longer than I planned.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49I'm afraid you have rather a romantic mind.
0:27:49 > 0:27:55You see, love isn't just a matter of two people meeting under romantic circumstances.
0:27:55 > 0:28:01Love, that is love that is really worthwhile, grows slowly.
0:28:01 > 0:28:05- Real love is... - VOICE FADES
0:28:16 > 0:28:20There have been thousands and thousands of couples just like us -
0:28:20 > 0:28:27going their separate ways, never realising the other was waiting somewhere.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30Romeo and Juliet knew right away.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33That's what Shakespeare's trying to tell us.
0:28:33 > 0:28:39The case of Dante and Beatrice is different. He saw her only once.
0:28:39 > 0:28:43But in that moment, the whole world was bathed in a new light.
0:28:43 > 0:28:50- It wasn't just a humdrum world any more where you had to get up... - KNOCK ON DOOR
0:28:50 > 0:28:53- Who's there? - Eight o'clock, Mr Wooley. >
0:28:53 > 0:28:56That's impossible!
0:28:56 > 0:28:58But...it's true!
0:28:58 > 0:29:02- Good morning, Wally.- Good morning, Jennifer. It's fantastic.
0:29:02 > 0:29:07- It just seems like a few minutes since I came in.- Your breakfast.
0:29:07 > 0:29:11You're as bad as when you were a little boy.
0:29:11 > 0:29:15Even on a day like this, I have to call you half a dozen times.
0:29:17 > 0:29:20And what a beautiful day it is, too.
0:29:20 > 0:29:23Happy is the bride that the sun...
0:29:23 > 0:29:26shines on...
0:29:26 > 0:29:31Good morning. Mmm! That smells good!
0:29:31 > 0:29:36You don't know how long it's been since I've eaten.
0:29:36 > 0:29:40- Mr Wooley!- I'll explain later. - What can you possibly say?!
0:29:40 > 0:29:46No, no, dear. Not like that. First you butter them and then a little syrup.
0:29:46 > 0:29:53Mr Wooley, I've worked for your family for 30 years, been almost a mother to you and to think that...
0:29:57 > 0:30:01Send evening gowns, too. Everything the young lady had was burned.
0:30:01 > 0:30:05Send them up right away. Thank you.
0:30:05 > 0:30:12You know, I think you've broken MY record for waffles. Margaret likes nothing better than to make them.
0:30:12 > 0:30:15Those people are still downstairs, waiting.
0:30:15 > 0:30:19These are a great hit with her. ..What did you say?
0:30:19 > 0:30:25- Those people. I told you three batches of waffles ago.- You did?
0:30:25 > 0:30:30- People waiting? Who? Who are they? - You'll find out.- Excuse me.
0:30:32 > 0:30:37More waffles? There's no more batter.
0:30:38 > 0:30:41CHINA CRASHES
0:30:41 > 0:30:48- Oh, I'm sorry, Margaret.- Better be sorry for yourself. Miss Masterson is downstairs with her father.
0:30:48 > 0:30:53- Who?- Miss Masterson. The lady you're getting married to.
0:30:58 > 0:31:03Good morning! I'd forgotten that you were going to drop in.
0:31:03 > 0:31:09- We didn't say we were. - Seen the papers? They've got you all over the front page.
0:31:09 > 0:31:16- Great. ..Dear, hadn't you better go? It's bad luck for the groom to see the bride.- Don't be ridiculous.
0:31:16 > 0:31:22- Saving that girl was a lucky break. You don't know what that can do for you.- I have a rough idea.
0:31:22 > 0:31:27- I've arranged a special broadcast. I'll have you back by 11.00.- Fine.
0:31:27 > 0:31:34- Shall we go?- No, I want to stay and see what I can do about brightening up this antique shop.
0:31:34 > 0:31:41- There's no time for that.- Run along. - I'm a little on edge. I'd feel much better if you came along.
0:31:41 > 0:31:43That's a good girl.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48Excuse me. I'll get my hat.
0:31:54 > 0:31:59- How did that happen? - It just slammed shut!
0:32:00 > 0:32:05I'm terribly sorry. There's a heavy draught blowing through the house.
0:32:13 > 0:32:15What's he going out with her for?
0:32:15 > 0:32:19Why shouldn't he? He's going to marry her in two hours.
0:32:19 > 0:32:22And as for you... Oh, go to sleep!
0:32:25 > 0:32:28After all my work...
0:32:33 > 0:32:36No, I don't want to go.
0:32:36 > 0:32:43Two hours. That doesn't give me much time. I wish Father were here.
0:32:43 > 0:32:45What seems to be the trouble?
0:32:45 > 0:32:53Good morning, Father. I need some advice. He's tougher than I thought. I can't seem to make him love me.
0:32:53 > 0:33:00- Thou art a bungler! I must have been drunk to give thee a body! - Oh, don't smoke so much, Father!
0:33:00 > 0:33:07- Did something go wrong with thy philtre?- My what?- Thy love philtre! Thou gavest him one, I presume?- No.
0:33:07 > 0:33:11- I thought I could do it barehanded. - Art thou a witch or a woman?
0:33:11 > 0:33:16Prepare a love philtre. Dost thou recall the incantation? Listen.
0:33:16 > 0:33:19SIMPLE TUNE PLAYS
0:33:32 > 0:33:35# Kettle, kettle, on the hob
0:33:35 > 0:33:38# Hurry up and do thy job
0:33:38 > 0:33:44# Steam and hiss and while you do Cook an all-compelling brew
0:33:44 > 0:33:48# So that he who sips will be
0:33:48 > 0:33:51# Slave to love's captivity. #
0:33:51 > 0:33:56- Now put in a cool place until ready. - What will it taste like?
0:33:56 > 0:34:00Like cooled water, but 'twill set Master Wooley's blood on fire.
0:34:00 > 0:34:07- Then I'll treat him like a slave. I'll make him suffer body and soul. - Speaking of bodies,
0:34:07 > 0:34:13I have a notion to make an appearance. Of course, I'll have to burn a house down to do it.
0:34:13 > 0:34:21- Not this one, Father. I've a better idea. The building he's in now. It will force him back to me.- Excellent!
0:34:21 > 0:34:28- Good hunting, Jennifer! - 'Tis growing cool! Now we shall see if thou canst resist me!
0:34:29 > 0:34:31Get ready, Master Wooley!
0:34:41 > 0:34:45- Not dressed yet?- Dudley, I'm lucky to be alive!- What's happened now?
0:34:45 > 0:34:52- I was making a broadcast about the fire and suddenly, there was another one!- Anybody hurt?
0:34:52 > 0:34:55No. ..What's wrong with this door?
0:34:57 > 0:35:00Margaret!
0:35:00 > 0:35:04- What are you two doing in my bedroom?- What happened?!
0:35:04 > 0:35:07I must have dozed off.
0:35:07 > 0:35:12- You go and get dressed. ..Where's the brandy?- Did you get rid of that girl?
0:35:12 > 0:35:16That girl...? Oh! She must still be here!
0:35:16 > 0:35:19Well, she won't be here for long.
0:35:21 > 0:35:24You listen to me, young lady.
0:35:24 > 0:35:28- Come on, get up. - I'm listening, Mr Wooley.
0:35:28 > 0:35:31Why do you look at me that way?
0:35:32 > 0:35:35Oh! My dress. Do you like it?
0:35:35 > 0:35:41I...don't know. It's such a shock to see you dressed. I mean...you're beautiful.
0:35:41 > 0:35:46- Enough to make a man fall in love? - Physical beauty isn't everything.
0:35:46 > 0:35:52- That's what I thought. - Now, look here... - I don't like the tone of your voice!
0:35:52 > 0:36:00- I swallowed some smoke last night and I just swallowed some more now, but...- Drink the nice, cool water.
0:36:00 > 0:36:06- Thank you. All I have to say... - Drink it, Wally. Then I'll be glad to hear anything you have to say.
0:36:08 > 0:36:13You'll find out that no-one named Wooley is able to stay away from me.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17Oh! I'm awfully sorry! This is terrible!
0:36:17 > 0:36:21Jennifer! Jennifer! Can you hear me? ..Dudley! Come here!
0:36:21 > 0:36:25Oh, you... Here! Drink this!
0:36:27 > 0:36:30There. There, that's better.
0:36:30 > 0:36:32How do you feel?
0:36:34 > 0:36:37I feel strange. What happened?
0:36:37 > 0:36:41The picture fell. Does your head hurt?
0:36:41 > 0:36:43My head? ..No.
0:36:44 > 0:36:46It's my heart.
0:36:46 > 0:36:49- It feels so light.- Try not to talk.
0:36:49 > 0:36:52But I must! I must tell you how I feel!
0:36:52 > 0:36:57- Oh, Wally, you're so beautiful! - Dudley!
0:36:58 > 0:37:02- Take my hand. - Don't start that again!
0:37:02 > 0:37:10- Let that man alone!- Something really happened to her this time. That picture...- It wasn't your fault.
0:37:10 > 0:37:14- I'm so glad you drank it, Wally. - I didn't drink anything.
0:37:14 > 0:37:20- What does she mean? - I gave her a drink of water. - YOU gave it to...ME?!
0:37:20 > 0:37:24Never force liquids on a person who's unconscious.
0:37:24 > 0:37:28It may have serious consequences. ..Nervous reaction.
0:37:28 > 0:37:33- What are we gonna do?- Lock her in this room.- But Dudley...!
0:37:38 > 0:37:45Stop worrying. She can't get out. ..I'll drive. You're too nervous. Get rid of her after the wedding.
0:37:48 > 0:37:52Poor little girl. All alone in the world except for a no-good father.
0:37:57 > 0:38:02- Don't jam your brakes on like that! - I didn't jam them! It just stopped!
0:38:02 > 0:38:05- I can't figure it out. - What's that smoke?!
0:38:05 > 0:38:11What happened to him? Who? The fella we pulled out of the fire.
0:38:11 > 0:38:16How do you like my body, Jennifer? Not too old, not too young.
0:38:16 > 0:38:20I've forgotten the formula for clothing. I had to borrow a sheet.
0:38:20 > 0:38:24- By the by, has the potion been administered?- Yes.
0:38:24 > 0:38:28Father, something went wrong with our plan.
0:38:28 > 0:38:31But that love philtre never fails!
0:38:31 > 0:38:35- It didn't. But...- I- drank it.
0:38:35 > 0:38:39Nicodemus! Then YOU love HIM?!
0:38:39 > 0:38:45Yes, Father. But he's about to marry someone else because of my ancient curse on the Wooleys.
0:38:45 > 0:38:52- Do you think if I explained it all to him...?- Telling a mortal you're a witch will only mean the end of you.
0:38:52 > 0:38:57What shall I do? He MUST not marry her! You won't let him, will you?
0:38:57 > 0:39:02- Let me think.- You could make him love me. You can do anything.
0:39:02 > 0:39:07Yes. This problem should be fairly simple.
0:39:07 > 0:39:10- Just leave it all to me. - Oh, thank you!
0:39:10 > 0:39:14- Will you leave it to me?- I promise. - Splendid.
0:39:16 > 0:39:20I'm still a little bit warm from the fire.
0:39:20 > 0:39:25Fetch me a pair of Master Wooley's breeches. We're going to his wedding.
0:39:25 > 0:39:30# I love you truly
0:39:30 > 0:39:36# Truly, dear
0:39:36 > 0:39:41# Life with its sorrows
0:39:41 > 0:39:44# Life with its tears... #
0:39:44 > 0:39:47Here, drink this.
0:39:47 > 0:39:51- What is it?- Novocaine. 120 proof. Down fast, brother.
0:39:51 > 0:39:55- If that girl ever gets out of my house...- Drink that.
0:39:55 > 0:40:02- Suppose she comes here? It'll be terrible for Estelle! - And we'll be sitting pretty(!)
0:40:02 > 0:40:04There's your cue.
0:40:06 > 0:40:09Just play I'm a seeing-eye dog now.
0:40:22 > 0:40:29- Can't you smile?- You KNOW I wanted a church wedding!- You've had everything else your own way.
0:40:29 > 0:40:35She's not here. Stop worrying. MUSIC: "Here Comes The Bride"
0:40:35 > 0:40:37Smile.
0:41:05 > 0:41:09Close that door! It's a hurricane!
0:41:11 > 0:41:15- My veil is ruined!- Go back and wait.
0:41:15 > 0:41:19I'm terribly sorry. There will be a short delay.
0:41:19 > 0:41:22< Music. Music. Sing something.
0:41:23 > 0:41:26# I love you truly... #
0:41:26 > 0:41:33- That's all I needed! A hurricane on my wedding day.- Never mind about that! SHE'S just blown in.- What?!
0:41:33 > 0:41:36- What do I do? - I'll think of something.
0:41:42 > 0:41:46- Beloved, this is my father. - Delighted, Master Wooley.
0:41:46 > 0:41:52- This is a private room.- It's rather crowded downstairs, and a bit windy.
0:41:52 > 0:41:57Be seated, Master Wooley. I should like to have a little talk with you.
0:41:57 > 0:42:02- I'm being married in two minutes... - I understand those WERE your plans.
0:42:02 > 0:42:07- Were?!- Would you excuse us?- Maybe you'd better.- I'll stand guard.
0:42:07 > 0:42:12Let me fix your pretty tie. You see? He's just like a Greek god.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15I hear my little one was your overnight guest.
0:42:15 > 0:42:20- NOT at my invitation!- Oh, no. The poor sweet didn't want me to stay.
0:42:20 > 0:42:26Were I an ordinary man, a horse-whipping would, no doubt, be in order.
0:42:26 > 0:42:28But I am not an ordinary man.
0:42:29 > 0:42:35- While examining your dwelling, I came upon...this.- My revolver!
0:42:35 > 0:42:41- You can't force me to marry her! - What a banal mind you have! You may hold the weapon.
0:42:42 > 0:42:45What is this?
0:42:45 > 0:42:48It's very simple. Here is a bruised flower.
0:42:48 > 0:42:53I am her father. That is your revolver.
0:42:53 > 0:42:57You are going to shoot me.
0:42:57 > 0:43:00I...am going to shoot you?
0:43:00 > 0:43:02Will that be of help?
0:43:02 > 0:43:06Now, now. Father knows best.
0:43:06 > 0:43:08Warm, Master Wooley?
0:43:08 > 0:43:15You don't know what warm is. I am told one of your forebears made a hobby of bonfires.
0:43:15 > 0:43:20What a pity he cannot be here to see his descendant burn.
0:43:20 > 0:43:22Yes, Master Wooley.
0:43:22 > 0:43:26Burn. In the modern way.
0:43:26 > 0:43:30Strapped in a chair heated by electricity.
0:43:34 > 0:43:40I anticipated that. Pistol, pistol, let there be Murder in the first degree.
0:43:44 > 0:43:47Thank you so much.
0:43:47 > 0:43:50Amazing invention, the electric chair.
0:43:52 > 0:43:55What will they think of next?
0:44:00 > 0:44:03What's happened?
0:44:03 > 0:44:06- It was an accident! - It was no accident.
0:44:06 > 0:44:11He killed me in cold blood. Kindly notify the authorities.
0:44:13 > 0:44:17Oh, he's frightened you. He told me he'd help me.
0:44:20 > 0:44:23- How is he?- He's dead.
0:44:23 > 0:44:26It doesn't matter.
0:44:26 > 0:44:29Doesn't matter?! Her own father!
0:44:29 > 0:44:34That's not my father. That's just a body he picked up.
0:44:34 > 0:44:38- I didn't do it! You'll be my witness!- But I wasn't here!
0:44:38 > 0:44:41Oh-h!
0:44:53 > 0:44:57He's as nervous as a bride. You'd think he was being hanged!
0:45:00 > 0:45:04- It's up to you. Now, tell them. - What have- I- got to do with it?
0:45:04 > 0:45:07You're handling the...details of the wedding.
0:45:07 > 0:45:10MUSIC: "Here Comes The Bride"
0:45:34 > 0:45:40# I love you truly Truly... #
0:45:40 > 0:45:46Empty! I thought I saw smoke come out! I know you're here somewhere!
0:45:46 > 0:45:49How could you, Father?!
0:45:49 > 0:45:51You KNOW I love him!
0:45:51 > 0:45:56- That's exactly why I've disposed of him.- Where are you?
0:45:56 > 0:46:01- HE CACKLES - # For tonight I'll merry, merry be
0:46:01 > 0:46:04# For tonight I'll merry, merry be
0:46:04 > 0:46:08# For tonight I'll merry, merry be Tomorrow, I'll be sober. #
0:46:08 > 0:46:11Come out of that bottle.
0:46:11 > 0:46:14- Come out!- Oh, no.
0:46:14 > 0:46:19- I could float here for ever. - Well, you're not going to.
0:46:24 > 0:46:29- Wally! Don't go upstairs!- But maybe she killed herself!- Wally...
0:46:29 > 0:46:34- What's wrong with him? We'd better call the police.- Why?
0:46:34 > 0:46:38It's the other fellow... What other fellow?
0:46:38 > 0:46:40Estelle!
0:46:42 > 0:46:49# Ah, love, it's something To feel... #
0:46:49 > 0:46:56- Get back in that body!- No. I didn't like it. It's an old, fat body. - Then I'll tell Wally what we are.
0:46:56 > 0:47:01- Knowing what would then happen to you?- Yes!- You wouldn't dare.
0:47:01 > 0:47:03Wouldn't I?!
0:47:03 > 0:47:06You're all right?
0:47:06 > 0:47:11Wally, darling, there's something I must tell you.
0:47:13 > 0:47:18Oh...! LOOK! I thought you said he was dead!
0:47:18 > 0:47:23- He is! - A fine way to take advantage of a father's affection.
0:47:24 > 0:47:27Now, harken to a father's curse.
0:47:27 > 0:47:30I'm going to turn you into a frog.
0:47:30 > 0:47:33Frog, frog, sitting on a log...
0:47:34 > 0:47:37What's the next line?
0:47:37 > 0:47:41You wait till I sober up. You'll be sorry.
0:47:46 > 0:47:48# For tonight I'll merry, merry be
0:47:48 > 0:47:53# For tonight I'll merry, merry be Tomorrow I'll be sober... #
0:47:53 > 0:47:59Why do you want the police? He fell out the window. Not Wally. The other fellow.
0:48:02 > 0:48:06- Unhand me, you foul minions! - Take it easy, Pop.
0:48:06 > 0:48:12I'm going to cast a spell on you. From now on, you're a rat! Rat, rat, fatter than a cat...
0:48:12 > 0:48:17- How does the rest of it go? - I'm a rat, huh? Call the wagon!
0:48:17 > 0:48:22If I could only remember the words, I could turn you into kangaroos!
0:48:24 > 0:48:28- They're taking him away!- Why didn't I have them take you, too?
0:48:28 > 0:48:32- Perhaps you're beginning to love me. - Don't start that again!
0:48:32 > 0:48:39- I thought Father would be friendly. I wouldn't let anyone harm you. - I KNOW you wouldn't(!)- It's true!
0:48:39 > 0:48:44Last night, I was your enemy, but I've changed. I love you!
0:48:44 > 0:48:48- If I could die, I would do that for you.- Just be a sweet girl.
0:48:48 > 0:48:51- Hey, they're ready!- Goodbye.
0:48:51 > 0:48:58- Where are you going?- I told you.- But I thought after all I've done for you...!- You've been very obliging.
0:48:58 > 0:49:02- But now I'm going to be married. - That's what YOU think!
0:49:08 > 0:49:11AA-II-EE! ..Wally!
0:49:11 > 0:49:14I'll take care of it.
0:49:17 > 0:49:19MUSIC: "Here Comes The Bride"
0:49:19 > 0:49:23- Let's get this over with. - He'll pay for this!
0:49:23 > 0:49:26- Do I look all right?- Who cares?!
0:49:29 > 0:49:32What are you standing there for?
0:49:32 > 0:49:35Dudley has the ring. I'll see what's keeping him.
0:49:35 > 0:49:42- Wallace!- You come back here! What's the matter with you?- Did you ever have a day when nothing went right?
0:49:42 > 0:49:45# I love you truly... #
0:49:48 > 0:49:51- Got here too late.- Dudley!
0:49:52 > 0:49:54She really did love me.
0:49:54 > 0:49:59- She said she'd die for me. ..Oh, my darling!- At last!
0:50:00 > 0:50:03I've had enough of this!
0:50:11 > 0:50:13Er...
0:50:13 > 0:50:18It's a big misunderstanding! If you'll give me a few minutes...
0:50:18 > 0:50:21I'll give you ten seconds to get out of here!
0:50:21 > 0:50:27- We won't be here that long. - Estelle, I'm terribly... - Get out!- I can explain!
0:50:27 > 0:50:31After the fire, she spent the night...
0:50:33 > 0:50:37On second thoughts, maybe we'd better just go!
0:50:37 > 0:50:42I'll expose you in every paper I own! This'll cost you the election!
0:50:42 > 0:50:47The voters will tear you limb from limb. I'll head a tar-and-feather party!
0:50:47 > 0:50:50You'll wish you'd never been born!
0:50:50 > 0:50:54# I love you truly... # Will you shut up?!
0:50:54 > 0:50:57# Our...! #
0:50:59 > 0:51:04Extra! Read all about it! Big scandal! Extra! Read all about it!
0:51:04 > 0:51:08Wallace Wooley exposed! Extra!
0:51:10 > 0:51:12What does it say?
0:51:12 > 0:51:16Just as I thought. He's finished! And I'm bankrupt!
0:51:16 > 0:51:19Go and get her, I say!
0:51:19 > 0:51:25- Bring my daughter to me. Bring her here or, by Jezebel...!- Shut up!
0:51:25 > 0:51:30Quiet! I wanna get some sleep! Hey! Toss him outta here!
0:51:30 > 0:51:33For the last time, will you pipe down?!
0:51:33 > 0:51:38- My daughter ran off with a bumpkin named Wallace Wooley!- Sure she did.
0:51:38 > 0:51:43- Just take it easy. You'll be outta her tomorrow.- That may be too late!
0:51:43 > 0:51:48- There's no telling what she'll do!- I know a few ways to MAKE you shut up!
0:51:48 > 0:51:52I know a hundred ways to silence you for ever!
0:51:52 > 0:51:57But I don't remember them now. This is terrible! She'll marry him!
0:51:57 > 0:52:01Wallace Wooley's gonna marry his daughter!
0:52:01 > 0:52:08And then you'll see what'll happen to Master Wooley. I'll wreak my vengeance on them both!
0:52:08 > 0:52:14She thinks she can run away from me, that I cannot see her because of the fog.
0:52:14 > 0:52:17But I can see you, Jennifer.
0:52:17 > 0:52:21She smiles. She presses closer to him.
0:52:22 > 0:52:25- Darling?- Yes, Wally?
0:52:25 > 0:52:29You're guessing about those mileposts, aren't you?
0:52:31 > 0:52:37- No, I can see them. I have rather unusual eyes.- If we're really over the state line, I can relax.
0:52:37 > 0:52:41Wally, what colour would those feathers be?
0:52:41 > 0:52:44Feathers? Oh, I don't know.
0:52:44 > 0:52:48- But the tar would be black. - Let's stop, Wally.
0:52:52 > 0:52:56I guess we'll have to. I can't even see the front of the car.
0:53:01 > 0:53:06- Mighty nice scenery they have around here.- Lovely, isn't it?
0:53:06 > 0:53:10- We'd better walk to the next town. - I thought we'd stay here.
0:53:10 > 0:53:14- Here?! We're in the middle of nowhere!- Are we?
0:53:23 > 0:53:28Good evening. If you're looking for a place to stay, I have a lovely room.
0:53:28 > 0:53:32Thank you. Do you have two rooms?
0:53:32 > 0:53:34< No, I'm sorry. Aren't you married?
0:53:35 > 0:53:41- You're dressed for a wedding.- Where's the nearest justice of the peace?
0:53:41 > 0:53:44He'll be down in a minute. ..Henry! Customers!
0:53:52 > 0:53:54Let's see...
0:53:54 > 0:53:591 for waking up the county clerk and helping you get your licence.
0:53:59 > 0:54:022 for the ceremony.
0:54:02 > 0:54:061.50 for lodgings.
0:54:06 > 0:54:10Rent of my pyjamas - 25 cents.
0:54:10 > 0:54:13Rent of nightgown...
0:54:13 > 0:54:18I'll have to charge you 50 cents for that. Sort of an heirloom.
0:54:18 > 0:54:26There! Oh, what a perfect fit! My grandmother was just a little bit of a thing like you!
0:54:26 > 0:54:29Shall I light the fire? Oh, no!
0:54:29 > 0:54:34I'd like to try. I must start learning to be a good housewife.
0:54:34 > 0:54:38Let's see. You...just go like that, don't you?
0:54:38 > 0:54:42Of course. They're like any other matches.
0:54:42 > 0:54:48Well, good night, my dear. I'm sure you'll be very happy. He's a fine young man.
0:54:48 > 0:54:51I hope your boys take after him.
0:54:53 > 0:54:56And I hope your girls take after you.
0:55:11 > 0:55:13By Ramananthus - on, fire!
0:55:13 > 0:55:16Oh!
0:55:19 > 0:55:25- Wally?- Yes, dear?- Did you see the way that fire came on?- What fire?
0:55:25 > 0:55:27All I can see is you.
0:55:27 > 0:55:31- Darling...- Mmm? - Do you want to have children?
0:55:31 > 0:55:36- Of course! I'd like three little girls exactly like you.- Ohh!
0:55:38 > 0:55:45- I think I'd better tell you. You'd never forgive me if you found out later.- A confession?!- Yes, Wally.
0:55:45 > 0:55:51- I haven't exactly been a saint myself. We'll compare notes in the morning.- No! I must tell you now.
0:55:51 > 0:55:55- I don't know how to begin. - Then don't.
0:55:55 > 0:56:00Wally, doesn't it seem strange to you the way we met?
0:56:00 > 0:56:03- It's all been like a dream. - It was witchcraft.
0:56:03 > 0:56:06- Of course!- You see, Wally...
0:56:06 > 0:56:08It's getting late.
0:56:08 > 0:56:11But I want you to know what I am.
0:56:11 > 0:56:14All right, what are you?
0:56:16 > 0:56:19I'm a witch.
0:56:19 > 0:56:25- A witch?! I knew it all the time! - You did?!- Of course. I've been under your spell since I met you.
0:56:25 > 0:56:30- It doesn't matter? You don't mind being married to a witch?- I love it.
0:56:30 > 0:56:37- I'll try SO hard to be a good wife and I'll only use witchcraft to help you.- What could you do, for instance?
0:56:37 > 0:56:44- I could make you win the election. - It'd take witchcraft to do that. - I think I can manage it.- Fine.
0:56:44 > 0:56:51- I'm not just an ordinary witch. My family dates back to the days of Pompeii.- Were you mixed up in that(?)
0:56:51 > 0:56:56My father was. The decline and fall of the Roman Empire was our crowd.
0:56:56 > 0:56:59Seriously, which side do you like to sleep on?
0:56:59 > 0:57:03You don't believe me. Wally, try to understand!
0:57:03 > 0:57:09- 270 years ago...- That's too long a story. Can't it keep till tomorrow?- Wally! 270 years ago...
0:57:09 > 0:57:15- You're not listening to me. - Yes, dear. Yes, I am.
0:57:18 > 0:57:21270 years ago...
0:57:24 > 0:57:27I'll tell you tomorrow.
0:57:35 > 0:57:39Let me out! Let me out!
0:57:39 > 0:57:44Oh, why can't I remember the formula for dissolving iron?
0:57:44 > 0:57:47- Let me out!- Quiet! Pipe down!
0:57:47 > 0:57:51I couldn't get any shuteye! Throw him in the cellar!
0:57:56 > 0:58:03Hey, that's Wallace Wooley! They tossing HIM in the clink?! They won't elect a con for governor!
0:58:03 > 0:58:09Why couldn't you keep straight until AFTER you was elected, like everybody else.
0:58:09 > 0:58:17- I'd like to talk to you about Jennifer. We were married last night.- Yes, I know. Congratulations.
0:58:17 > 0:58:20She's been saying the oddest things.
0:58:20 > 0:58:23- Last night, and again this morning. - What?
0:58:23 > 0:58:25Silly things.
0:58:27 > 0:58:33About living in Roxford 270 years ago and being a witch!
0:58:33 > 0:58:35Beelzebub! Don't you think I know?!
0:58:35 > 0:58:42- Then she's acted that way before? Well, maybe I can help her.- Silence!
0:58:42 > 0:58:45I must concentrate.
0:58:45 > 0:58:48Iron, iron, melt away...
0:58:49 > 0:58:53Oh...I can't remember a thing.
0:58:53 > 0:58:58- What is the matter with me? - I'm afraid you've got a hangover.
0:58:58 > 0:59:02Don't tell me what I've got! I invented the hangover!
0:59:02 > 0:59:05It was in 1892 BC.
0:59:06 > 0:59:10Did you believe her? That's the important thing.
0:59:10 > 0:59:15- The things she said didn't make any sense.- Then there's still hope.
0:59:15 > 0:59:20I thought she was joking. But she keeps talking about the election,
0:59:20 > 0:59:26- saying she'll make me win by witchcraft, that that'll prove she's a witch.- Master Wooley...
0:59:26 > 0:59:32- if you can get me out of here, I know how to handle her. - I'll do my best,
0:59:32 > 0:59:37but I haven't much influence in this town any more.
0:59:37 > 0:59:41- It'll be a Bensinger landslide!- - Quiet!
0:59:41 > 0:59:47VOICE FROM OUTSIDE Three cheers for Wallace Wooley!
0:59:47 > 0:59:49Hurray! Hurray! Hurray!
0:59:49 > 0:59:54We want Wooley! We want Wooley! QUIET!
0:59:57 > 0:59:59We want Wooley!
0:59:59 > 1:00:03Hey! I thought you wanted Bensinger!
1:00:03 > 1:00:08I changed my mind. You're betting on Bensinger! So I'll lose!
1:00:08 > 1:00:14- We want Wooley! We want Wooley! We want Wooley! We want Wooley! - Quiet!
1:00:16 > 1:00:20- We want Wooley! - We want Wooley! We want Wooley!
1:00:20 > 1:00:26CHANTING: We want Wooley! We want Wooley!
1:00:27 > 1:00:31Wallace Wooley is a fraud! An imposter!
1:00:31 > 1:00:37A hypocritical demagogue! That's why I'm asking you to vote for...
1:00:37 > 1:00:39Wallace Wooley!
1:00:39 > 1:00:42(Mr Masterson.) One moment, please.
1:00:42 > 1:00:46(You said vote for Wooley! Did I?!)
1:00:46 > 1:00:51Correction, ladies and gentlemen. The man I am backing is Bensinger.
1:00:51 > 1:00:54W-O-O-L-E-Y.
1:00:54 > 1:00:59We want Wooley! We want Wooley! We want Wooley!
1:00:59 > 1:01:01SQUAWKS: We want Wooley!
1:01:01 > 1:01:09BABY VOICES: We want Wooley! We want Wooley! We want Wooley!
1:01:11 > 1:01:17We want Wooley! We want Wooley! We want Wooley! We want Wooley!
1:01:31 > 1:01:37'That includes every precinct in the county, folks! It looks like a landslide. More in a minute.'
1:01:37 > 1:01:44- I can't believe it!- That's just what she'd said she'd do.- You mean, she's a...?- If this ever gets out...!
1:01:44 > 1:01:51Let's take a look at these. ..You can't be carrying Wapasaka County. That's Bensinger's home!
1:01:51 > 1:01:57'Another bulletin. Returns for Wapasaka show the entire county has climbed on the Wooley bandwagon.'
1:01:57 > 1:02:01- Well? Are you convinced? - He must mean another county.
1:02:01 > 1:02:08'Hold everything. Here's a flash. At 10.45 tonight, with only three precincts yet to be heard from,
1:02:08 > 1:02:13'election returns were as follows. Wallace Wooley - 2,684,922.
1:02:13 > 1:02:16'Elwood Bensinger - none.'
1:02:16 > 1:02:19He didn't even vote for himself!
1:02:19 > 1:02:23- Dudley! I've married a witch! What will I do?- Let me look at you.
1:02:23 > 1:02:30- Did you say she's 800,000 years old? - No, that's her father. She's only 290.
1:02:30 > 1:02:34- But you'd never think it. - Well, marriage does a lot to people.
1:02:34 > 1:02:37Well, Wally, this clears everything up.
1:02:37 > 1:02:40All except one little point.
1:02:40 > 1:02:45- How did she get out of the hospital that night?- She used a broom!
1:02:45 > 1:02:49Oh, of course! I must be getting stupid! A child would know that.
1:02:49 > 1:02:57- What am I going to do?!- How many people have you told?- How can I tell anybody?- People are so sceptical.
1:02:57 > 1:03:04- It might be hard for them to grasp that the first lady of the state is a witch!- I don't care about them!
1:03:04 > 1:03:08Are you satisfied, darling? You're the new governor.
1:03:08 > 1:03:15- What are you going to do now?- Help you on with your slippers.- Not yet. - Then I'll warm them by the fire.
1:03:15 > 1:03:22You know, I lighted it with a match, Wally. From now on, I'm going to be a simple, helpful wife.
1:03:22 > 1:03:26I can't take it! A helpful wife! What if she runs me for president?
1:03:26 > 1:03:32- CHANTING OUTSIDE - What's that? - People want you to make a speech.
1:03:32 > 1:03:35Real people? Naturally. They voted for Wally.
1:03:35 > 1:03:37- What will I say?- I don't know.
1:03:37 > 1:03:43- Good night, old man. ..Good night. - Where are you going?- Home.
1:03:43 > 1:03:48- Would you like me to drive you? - No, I'll call a broom...a taxi!
1:03:49 > 1:03:52- Wally, darling.- Yes, dear?
1:03:55 > 1:04:00- You don't mind my being a witch, do you?- Well, it's a little unusual.
1:04:00 > 1:04:07- No-one need ever know.- We'll talk about that later.- It'll be our little secret.- Our LITTLE secret?
1:04:07 > 1:04:10Go out and make your speech.
1:04:22 > 1:04:24Good evening, my dear.
1:04:26 > 1:04:30Three cheers for Wallace Wooley! > Hurray! >
1:04:30 > 1:04:36I must compliment you on the public confidence you have inspired for Master Wooley.
1:04:36 > 1:04:43- You're not going to hurt him again? - I will attend to him later. I am concerned with an erring daughter.
1:04:43 > 1:04:50- I've done nothing but love him!- You have informed him you are a witch. Need I remind you of the punishment?
1:04:50 > 1:04:57At midnight, back to the tree! There to stay until the present race of men is extinguished.
1:04:57 > 1:05:01A rather light sentence, considering the offence.
1:05:01 > 1:05:08- But if I don't wish to go? - There is nothing you can do about it.- I am still a witch.
1:05:08 > 1:05:13No. Your heart is so full of human love I can no longer trust you.
1:05:13 > 1:05:17Until you resume a more spirit-like existence, you are a mere mortal!
1:05:17 > 1:05:20I remember all the spells you taught me!
1:05:21 > 1:05:24Out, fire, by Ramananthus!
1:05:25 > 1:05:28Out!
1:05:28 > 1:05:30You see? Your power is dead.
1:05:30 > 1:05:34Mine remains. ..Out, fire.
1:05:35 > 1:05:39Better get ready. Soonest done, soonest mended.
1:05:39 > 1:05:41Midnight approaches.
1:05:43 > 1:05:46May I...say goodbye?
1:05:46 > 1:05:49Certainly, my dear.
1:05:51 > 1:05:54I'll be around.
1:05:55 > 1:06:01..endeavour to give this fair state an honest administration,
1:06:01 > 1:06:05- as your former governor so aptly put it.- Wally!
1:06:05 > 1:06:10In conclusion, thank you all very much!
1:06:10 > 1:06:14- What is it?- You must help me! - You want ME to help YOU?!
1:06:14 > 1:06:19- Come on, darling, hurry! - Where?- Anywhere! Hurry up.
1:06:24 > 1:06:27Any place, Joe. Just drive around.
1:06:29 > 1:06:30Hey!
1:06:30 > 1:06:33..That's my cab!
1:06:34 > 1:06:41- What is all this?- I had to get you away. Something might have happened to you.- What?- Something awful.
1:06:41 > 1:06:45- Can't you tell me?- Oh, Wally, I'm afraid.- You ARE afraid.
1:06:45 > 1:06:52- Why can't you use witchcraft?- I've lost my power.- What?- I'm not a witch any longer. I'm like any other girl.
1:06:52 > 1:06:57I wish we could go so fast no power on Earth could overtake us! ..Faster!
1:06:57 > 1:07:00Nothing will happen to you while I'm around.
1:07:04 > 1:07:10- You ARE like any other girl. Afraid of lightning! - It isn't ordinary lightning.
1:07:10 > 1:07:13- Can't he go any faster?- Step on it.
1:07:27 > 1:07:32Nobody could possibly catch us. Joe's a wonderful driver.
1:07:51 > 1:07:55They've certainly improved this road.
1:07:57 > 1:08:02- Is it midnight yet? - No. Five minutes to twelve.
1:08:10 > 1:08:13Don't look!
1:08:17 > 1:08:19Back to the tree!
1:08:31 > 1:08:34CACKLING
1:08:34 > 1:08:38Don't worry about me, Master Wooley. I am accustomed to fire.
1:08:38 > 1:08:43Come, Jennifer, I have decided to return with thee to the tree.
1:08:43 > 1:08:46I am weary of mortals.
1:08:46 > 1:08:51It's no use fighting. It has to be like this.
1:08:51 > 1:08:56- What are you saying? - Go, Wally. Please. CLOCK CHIMES
1:08:56 > 1:08:59Midnight. Goodbye, my darling.
1:08:59 > 1:09:04I want you to remember me as I was - just an ordinary girl.
1:09:04 > 1:09:07He'll remember.
1:09:07 > 1:09:10THAT will be his torture.
1:09:11 > 1:09:13And I'll remember that I loved you.
1:09:13 > 1:09:17Through all eternity...I'll remember.
1:09:19 > 1:09:27Thou wilt remember nothing of this tender feeling. That will be the essence of thy punishment.
1:09:27 > 1:09:30I'll never forget.
1:09:30 > 1:09:32With all my strength, I'll fight.
1:09:32 > 1:09:35Love is stronger than witchcraft.
1:09:35 > 1:09:38I'll remember everything -
1:09:38 > 1:09:43the sound of your voice, the worried looks...
1:09:43 > 1:09:48the warmth of your arms around me, the touch of your lips.
1:09:54 > 1:09:58Goodbye, Wally. Goodbye, my darling.
1:09:59 > 1:10:02I'll remember. I'll always remember.
1:10:03 > 1:10:06Always. ..Always.
1:10:19 > 1:10:24- Look at him! Is it not good to see him suffer?- Yes, Father.
1:10:24 > 1:10:29- Is this not a perfect revenge on the Wooleys?- Yes, Father.
1:10:29 > 1:10:32- Could we follow him?- And why?
1:10:32 > 1:10:34To watch him suffer, of course.
1:10:34 > 1:10:38Well said, Jennifer! Thou art a witch again!
1:10:43 > 1:10:47- CACKLING - She's dead, Master Woolley.
1:10:47 > 1:10:51Thy marriage is a mortal memory.
1:10:51 > 1:10:54Let's be gone, Jennifer.
1:10:54 > 1:10:59Let me tarry but a moment at this window. I wish to see it all.
1:10:59 > 1:11:03- Thou are enjoying it, eh? - Oh, yes. And thou?
1:11:03 > 1:11:10I cannot remember when I've had a better time. It's great in here.
1:11:13 > 1:11:15I've called a doctor, Mr Wooley.
1:11:18 > 1:11:21Jennifer?
1:11:21 > 1:11:26The sound of his voice, it no longer thrills thee?
1:11:26 > 1:11:29- No, Father.- Good!
1:11:29 > 1:11:36And his worried looks? And the warmth of his arms around thee?
1:11:36 > 1:11:40These are things that have no meaning for me now.
1:11:42 > 1:11:45And the touch of his lips?
1:11:59 > 1:12:01Wally...
1:12:01 > 1:12:06love IS stronger than witchcraft.
1:12:06 > 1:12:09# For tonight I'll merry, merry be
1:12:09 > 1:12:12# For tonight I'll merry, merry be
1:12:12 > 1:12:15# For tonight I'll merry, merry be
1:12:15 > 1:12:18- # Tomorrow I'll be sober... # - Oh, no, you won't!
1:12:18 > 1:12:25Wally, darling, all our troubles are over! ..At least, for the present.
1:12:30 > 1:12:33VOICES ECHO OUTSIDE
1:12:37 > 1:12:42Mr Wooley, I've been with your family for 37 years, but this is the end.
1:12:42 > 1:12:46What is it? I can't handle your daughter!
1:12:49 > 1:12:53Jennifer! I told you never to play with that broom!
1:12:53 > 1:12:57- Why?- I'm afraid we're going to have trouble with her some day.
1:12:57 > 1:13:00Oh, that's impossible!
1:13:01 > 1:13:04- I hope! - CACKLING
1:13:04 > 1:13:08# Good night, ladies Good night, ladies
1:13:08 > 1:13:12# Good night, ladies
1:13:12 > 1:13:14# We're going to leave you now! #
