0:22:44 > 0:22:48In a rooming house on 46th street - top floor.

0:23:07 > 0:23:09Oh, Dolly.
0:23:09 > 0:23:13- How much is this? - Five bucks. Pay after the game.
0:23:13 > 0:23:17The whites are five, the reds are ten, the blues a quarter.
0:23:17 > 0:23:21A nickel and dime except for a pair or on the last card.
0:23:21 > 0:23:25- You playing, Mr Blakeley? - We're going to a movie in a while.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28Dolly's got some passes, OK?
0:23:28 > 0:23:31Deal 'em, Mo.
0:23:34 > 0:23:38- Where are we going?- To the Rivoli, if that's all right.- OK by me.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41Er, Dolly...
0:23:41 > 0:23:46Will you buy the tickets? I'll keep him busy. I said you had passes.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49I heard you.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58Ten. Up a dime.
0:24:03 > 0:24:08- Bill, are you coming?- The boys will want to win their money back.
0:24:08 > 0:24:13- THEY MURMUR APPROVAL - You go ahead. I'll be here when you get back.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17Good night, honey.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23Now, maybe you boys' luck will change.
0:24:28 > 0:24:33- He hasn't one cent to his name. - That's all right. He's winning.
0:24:33 > 0:24:38- Supposing he were to lose? - Happy would take care of it.
0:24:38 > 0:24:43What's a nickel and dime poker game? You're being unreasonable.
0:24:43 > 0:24:48- To gamble when you've no money, that's real gambling.- It's my fault.
0:24:48 > 0:24:54- I forgot it was poker night. - It won't amount to anything anyway.
0:24:54 > 0:24:59Of course not. Bates has got a new line of French coats for modelling.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02- They're awfully smart.- Not one cent.
0:25:02 > 0:25:07- Better luck next time. - Three in a row!
0:25:18 > 0:25:21BUZZ AT DOOR
0:25:23 > 0:25:26- Hi.- Hello.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31- You slept well, didn't you? - Like a log.
0:25:31 > 0:25:35I've never slept better. I'll get my coat.
0:25:35 > 0:25:40- Why did you ask that? - Why did I ask what?
0:25:40 > 0:25:45- If I slept well.- I thought you might be upset about last night.
0:25:45 > 0:25:49- Had they finished when you got home?- Just breaking up.
0:25:49 > 0:25:54- I told Bill you were tired. - You didn't say I was angry?
0:25:54 > 0:25:58- No. Just what you told me to say. - What did he say?- Nothing.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01Didn't he think it rather strange?
0:26:01 > 0:26:06Why should he? You told me not to give the impression you were sore.
0:26:06 > 0:26:11- I know. - Hap says he's a great poker player.
0:26:11 > 0:26:16He was 12 ahead at one time, but he ended up 10 cents ahead.
0:26:16 > 0:26:20I'm not going to see him any more.
0:26:20 > 0:26:24- Because he ended up with 10 cents? - Because he's a gambler.
0:26:24 > 0:26:29Gambling his life away. Couldn't even stay out of a silly card game.
0:26:29 > 0:26:34You were right - he's a handsome, charming tramp.
0:26:34 > 0:26:38- Don't you think I'm right? - Absolutely.
0:26:38 > 0:26:43PHONE RINGS You think that's him?
0:26:43 > 0:26:47Answer it. Tell him what you just told me.
0:26:47 > 0:26:52That you don't want to see him again. Go on, give him the brush off. Go on.
0:26:52 > 0:26:58- He's calling from a pay phone.- So? - If I answer, he'll lose his nickel.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01Oh, come on.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36- That's stealing.- Oh...!
0:28:36 > 0:28:40- Hello! I mean, how've you been? Here.- Oh, you can have it.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43Thanks. I thought this was my table.
0:28:43 > 0:28:47- Mind if I sit down? - I'm saving that place for Dolly.
0:28:49 > 0:28:52It's funny running into you here.
0:28:52 > 0:28:57- I phoned you about a half-hour ago. You didn't answer.- Didn't I?- No.
0:28:57 > 0:29:03- Are you sore about something?- Why? - Thought I might have done something.
0:29:03 > 0:29:09You certainly don't think I minded you playing poker with no money?
0:29:09 > 0:29:14- And you can't think I minded going home alone?- Sugar, I can explain.
0:29:14 > 0:29:21- There comes a time when guys have to behave like men.- There sure does.
0:29:21 > 0:29:26- The chances of my losing were practically...- Shush. Here's Dolly.
0:29:26 > 0:29:28- Oh, hello.- Hello.
0:29:28 > 0:29:34- Soup for breakfast?- Funny, isn't it? Where I come from, everyone has it.
0:29:34 > 0:29:38- Up in New England, they have pie. - What kind is it?
0:29:38 > 0:29:44- It's his own special brand, isn't it, Bill?- Yes, my own special brand.
0:29:44 > 0:29:48- Those eggs smell good. Look good, too.- Would you like one?
0:29:48 > 0:29:52- Of course not.- Go on, have one. - If you insist.
0:29:52 > 0:29:55I shouldn't eat more than one anyway.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57Am I going to see you tonight?
0:29:59 > 0:30:04- No, I don't think so. - You have another date?- Not exactly.
0:30:04 > 0:30:07- I promised to take care of Timmy. - I like Timmy.
0:30:07 > 0:30:13- We won't be home till late. - I'll wait for you at the studio.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18Well, we're not working at the studio.
0:30:18 > 0:30:21What time is it?
0:30:21 > 0:30:26- A quarter to nine.- We've got to hurry. We'll be late. Bye.
0:30:26 > 0:30:31Lyn, I'll meet you outside of Ma's house, huh?
0:30:31 > 0:30:33I suppose so.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52Bill was right about one thing.
0:30:52 > 0:30:57Boy can't work on a paper in the day and write a novel at night.
0:30:57 > 0:31:01- Happy, you're not quitting your job. - Honey, I'm so...
0:31:01 > 0:31:05- BELL RINGS - I'll get it. It'll be for me.
0:31:05 > 0:31:10Wilson's probably drunk again and I'll have to work all night.
0:31:10 > 0:31:13I'll never get this book finished.
0:31:15 > 0:31:18Wilson again? Yeah.
0:31:18 > 0:31:21All right! All right.
0:31:22 > 0:31:25I was right about that...
0:31:25 > 0:31:30Honey, baby, are you all right? Here, let me rub it.
0:31:30 > 0:31:34Honey, I don't know why I'm so careless.

0:31:55 > 0:31:57Hi, Hap.
0:31:57 > 0:32:01Joe! What are you doing in this neighbourhood?
0:32:01 > 0:32:07- I drive a cab, remember? I was going to drop in on you and Dolly.- Yeah?
0:32:07 > 0:32:11- How is she? - Oh, she's fine. How you been?
0:32:11 > 0:32:14- All right. And you?- Can't squawk.
0:32:15 > 0:32:20- You hear about Bill and Carolyn? - What about 'em?- Taken the cure.
0:32:20 > 0:32:25- No!- Yeah. Just got it on television, that Lawson dame.
0:32:25 > 0:32:30- Dolly and I were just talking about them.- When did you see them last?
0:32:30 > 0:32:35Mmm. Couple of months. They invited us out to Long Island.
0:32:35 > 0:32:40- I couldn't go, so we didn't make it. - I hear it's quite a joint they got.
0:32:40 > 0:32:45You know, Joe, I didn't think Bill would amount to a hill of beans.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48Boy, that first play.
0:32:48 > 0:32:53I remember when he made that deal with that fly-by-night producer...
0:32:58 > 0:33:03- Joe, can I pay you later? I want to show Carolyn this 100 bill.- Sure.
0:33:04 > 0:33:07I couldn't change it anyway!
0:33:11 > 0:33:14- KNOCK AT DOOR - Take a look at this, Sugar.
0:33:14 > 0:33:18- Where did you get that? - I sold my play.
0:33:18 > 0:33:22- Oh, Bill! Tell me all about it. - Rehearsals start tomorrow.
0:33:22 > 0:33:26- I'm so glad for you. - My landlady was glad, too.
0:33:26 > 0:33:31- New suit?- Not exactly. She let me have my trunk out of the basement.
0:33:31 > 0:33:35- And why not ask me what time it is? - Who did you sell your play to?
0:33:35 > 0:33:40- James E Smalley.- Haven't heard of him.- I hadn't either until today.
0:33:40 > 0:33:43Here's the contract.
0:33:43 > 0:33:48- Why is the 500 scratched out and 250 put in?- Oh, that...
0:33:48 > 0:33:53- He wanted cash for the production. - You worked hard on that play.
0:33:53 > 0:33:56- 250 instead of 500... - We'll make a million!
0:33:56 > 0:34:00- Who's going to direct it?- Smalley.
0:34:00 > 0:34:05- Has he directed a New York play?- No. He had a stock company in Brockton.
0:34:05 > 0:34:08- Where is Brockton?- Massachusetts.
0:34:10 > 0:34:13We're going to have a hit.
0:34:13 > 0:34:16Believe me. Everything's going to be all right.
0:34:41 > 0:34:45- Where d'you get the clothes?- The dress is mine, I borrowed the wrap.
0:34:45 > 0:34:49- Good luck, Bill! > - Thanks. I'll need it.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52- I'll pick you up after the show! - Right.
0:34:52 > 0:34:56I'll meet you in the interval. I'd sit with you but I'm coming apart.
0:34:56 > 0:35:01- Good luck.- Don't worry, Sugar. Everything's gonna be all right.
0:35:01 > 0:35:06- It's almost curtain time.- I'm sorry, I stopped to talk to Bill.
0:35:06 > 0:35:10- How does he feel?- He's worried.- Oh! - Let's go.
0:35:17 > 0:35:21- What time is it? - Five minutes past ten.
0:35:21 > 0:35:26Thank you, sir. I don't see why I've got to sweep this floor,
0:35:26 > 0:35:29when they'll just mess it up again.
0:35:29 > 0:35:33< Not enough people left for that.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38What do you say, Harry?
0:35:38 > 0:35:41- No sale, hey?- No, brother.
0:35:43 > 0:35:47- Oh, hello, Blakeley. - Who is he?
0:35:47 > 0:35:51That's Harry Casino, he runs a ticket joint.
0:35:51 > 0:35:56Sometimes we can nurse a tired show into a success with cut rates.
0:35:56 > 0:36:00- But when he says thumbs down, that's it.- I see.
0:36:00 > 0:36:03I got to get up to the office.
0:36:07 > 0:36:11- Mr Casino?- Yeah.- My name's Blakeley. - Oh!
0:36:11 > 0:36:14- Hi.- Is it that bad?
0:36:14 > 0:36:17- I'm afraid so. - No chance at all, huh?
0:36:17 > 0:36:21There have been miracles, but not in showbusiness.
0:36:21 > 0:36:26- Other shows started off bad. - Yeah, but they started off.
0:36:26 > 0:36:31I'd like to be kind, Blakeley, but I'm not much of a liar.

0:37:09 > 0:37:13I just figured, if I felt like you, where would I go?
0:37:13 > 0:37:17And here you are. Ready to go home?
0:37:20 > 0:37:23OK. Let's go.
0:37:23 > 0:37:28I've chiselled for two years to build myself up to a big letdown.
0:37:28 > 0:37:32It wasn't even a high-class flump, just was an out-and-out fizzle.
0:37:32 > 0:37:37Well, I've had my try and missed the boat. What will I do now?
0:37:37 > 0:37:41I doubt I could even get a job on a newspaper.
0:37:41 > 0:37:44Bright and early tomorrow, I'll try.
0:37:44 > 0:37:48No, you'll start on the third act of your new play.

0:37:51 > 0:37:56I'll try working on it at night and get a job in the day.
0:37:56 > 0:38:02- Like Happy?- I can't go on kidding my friends and sponging off of you!
0:38:02 > 0:38:05I've been thinking about that, and...
0:38:05 > 0:38:10It wouldn't seem so much like sponging if it were sort of,
0:38:10 > 0:38:13- well, partnership, would it? - Partnership!

0:38:23 > 0:38:29- Of course I do, Lyn, but... - You're making this very difficult.
0:38:29 > 0:38:34First I have to tell you I love you, then I have to ask if you love me...
0:38:34 > 0:38:37- Lyn... - Mr B, will you marry me or not?

0:39:35 > 0:39:39- I know, but now that you have me... - Oh, please.
0:39:39 > 0:39:42You can't go on respecting me.
0:39:42 > 0:39:46I thought I'd sell my play and pay you back.
0:39:46 > 0:39:50- But it's been months.- You ought to get out and get some air.
0:39:50 > 0:39:54I think I ought to get some air, too. Plenty of it.
0:39:54 > 0:39:57What are you talking about?

0:45:50 > 0:45:53What is all this about doctors?
0:45:57 > 0:46:02- There's something wrong. - There's nothing wrong, Bill.
0:46:02 > 0:46:08- Why this evasiveness?- Can you take a shock?- I have to! What is it?
0:46:08 > 0:46:10You're going to be a father.
0:46:10 > 0:46:12Oh.
0:46:13 > 0:46:18- Are you sure?- That's what the doctor said.- Doctor...
0:46:18 > 0:46:23Is he a good doctor? There are all kinds of doctors. What I mean...
0:46:23 > 0:46:28- Is he a specialist?- He is. Miss Crutcher took me, she's a nurse.
0:46:31 > 0:46:33Gee, I...hope it's a boy or a girl.
0:46:43 > 0:46:47Look, you take care, I gotta tell Joe!
0:46:52 > 0:46:59- Good evening.- Hello Mrs Wallace. You know what's happening?- You're going to be a father.- Yeah...
0:46:59 > 0:47:02Yeah, that's right.
0:47:06 > 0:47:10INAUDIBLE
0:47:12 > 0:47:17- Hey, Joe. You know why my wife went to see the doctor?- Yeah.
0:47:17 > 0:47:19Yeah...I thought you did.
0:47:22 > 0:47:26- Hiya, Timmy!- Hi. - You know what's gonna happen?
0:47:26 > 0:47:31- The stork's gonna see you. - Yeah...the stork's gonna see me.
0:47:35 > 0:47:38Where have you been?
0:47:38 > 0:47:43- I went to see Pop.- Why?- I wanted to tell someone that didn't know.
0:47:43 > 0:47:48Nobody knew I suspected until I went to the doctors.
0:47:48 > 0:47:52- I expect Ma's been peddling the news around.- Oh.
0:47:54 > 0:47:56What are you doing?
0:47:56 > 0:48:03- Working out how much things will cost. I can work for a while. - You shouldn't...
0:48:03 > 0:48:10We'll need all the money we can get. We wouldn't manage without the 2,000 left over from the play.
0:48:10 > 0:48:14- I can't find your bank statement. Where is it?- I don't know.
0:48:14 > 0:48:20- It should be there, shouldn't it? - Well, the last statement I have is for June.
0:48:20 > 0:48:23There are two missing.
0:48:23 > 0:48:25Yeah?
0:48:28 > 0:48:32- You haven't been gambling, have you?- Gambling?
0:48:36 > 0:48:40- How did you get started again? - It was about a month ago.
0:48:40 > 0:48:44At Pops, a guy came over with a hot tip - I bet 50 on it.
0:48:44 > 0:48:47- And lost.- No, I won 200.
0:48:47 > 0:48:55- I thought I'd work it into something big. I had some bad luck, that's all.- How much is left?
0:48:55 > 0:48:59- 600 or 700.- 600 or 700?
0:49:01 > 0:49:03632.
0:49:07 > 0:49:12Don't be upset. Craig's interested in my play, and maybe buying it.
0:49:12 > 0:49:15Everything will be all right.
0:49:15 > 0:49:18Craig! You don't even know Craig.
0:49:18 > 0:49:22I'm sick of the phrase, "Everything will be all right."
0:49:22 > 0:49:27- My father used to say it. - But...I'm not like your father!
0:49:27 > 0:49:31I keep trying to get ahead, don't I?
0:49:31 > 0:49:36If it comes to the worst, I'll have to get an advance from the boss.
0:49:36 > 0:49:41Sure. Sure, get it from your boss. He always plays the hero!
0:49:41 > 0:49:44Tell him...tell him we'll name the kid after him!
0:49:54 > 0:49:58Three o'clock. Something must have happened to him.
0:49:58 > 0:50:01Come, dear. He's all right, more's the pity!
0:50:01 > 0:50:05He was so desperate, he must have worried for weeks.
0:50:05 > 0:50:12- I didn't say much.- Sometimes it's better to say things. Nothing whips a man like a righteous woman.
0:50:12 > 0:50:16I wasn't righteous, Ma, just dazed. Stunned.
0:50:16 > 0:50:19'Course. Too bad you didn't clout him one!
0:50:19 > 0:50:24- Then you could have kissed and made up. I'll fix you some coffee.- I...
0:50:24 > 0:50:27PHONE RINGS
0:50:27 > 0:50:32- Hello? Hello, Bill? - Don't be too sweet to him.
0:50:32 > 0:50:35- I was wondering... - Remember, you gotta live with him.
0:50:36 > 0:50:38Busy...?
0:50:38 > 0:50:43- Too busy to telephone! - You were too busy to telephone?
0:50:45 > 0:50:47What rush?
0:50:49 > 0:50:51The Golden Key?
0:50:51 > 0:50:53What are you doing?
0:50:53 > 0:50:57But Bill, you didn't have to...
0:50:57 > 0:50:59Yes?
0:50:59 > 0:51:02Six o'clock.
0:51:02 > 0:51:04All right. All right, Bill.
0:51:05 > 0:51:07Bye!
0:51:09 > 0:51:14- He's taken a job as a waiter in the Golden Key restaurant.- No kidding!
0:51:14 > 0:51:19- Why do you suppose...- He had to find work after what happened.
0:51:19 > 0:51:25He wants work, but why as a waiter? Why not a newspaper reporter?
0:51:25 > 0:51:29He had to get a job. Maybe there weren't any newspaper jobs.
0:51:29 > 0:51:37Besides, a waiter at a joint like the Golden Key makes more money than a newspaper reporter.
0:51:37 > 0:51:44- I suppose it was the money he was thinking about. - A waiter. This I gotta see.
0:51:52 > 0:51:57- Hurry! Boss is in an uproar.- Bonsoir, Bill.- Oui, oui. Bonsoir to you.
0:52:04 > 0:52:06Late again.
0:52:06 > 0:52:10I'm, er...I'm sorry.
0:52:10 > 0:52:14- I had to take my wife to the doctor. - Excuses, always excuses.
0:52:17 > 0:52:21- There's a difference between a bar towel and a napkin.- Sorry.
0:52:21 > 0:52:26- What's the matter with your wife? - She's having a baby.- Baby, huh?
0:52:26 > 0:52:28That's the reason I took this job.
0:52:28 > 0:52:33- Well, go to station four and take Mr Craig's order.- Craig?- Uh-huh.
0:52:33 > 0:52:40- The producer?- That's right. Don't forget to show him the wine list!- I won't.
0:52:46 > 0:52:49- Good evening, sir.- Good evening.
0:52:49 > 0:52:52I'll have half a dozen oysters, the cod, and...
0:52:54 > 0:52:58- How's the roast beef?- Excellent. - Make it medium rare.
0:52:58 > 0:53:01- And I'll have coffee later. - Coffee later.
0:53:25 > 0:53:28Hello, Lyn? Listen carefully.
0:53:28 > 0:53:33There's something I want you to do. Take my new play down to Joe.
0:53:33 > 0:53:38If Joe isn't there, get Ma to do it. Bring it to the kitchen right away.
0:53:38 > 0:53:41Oh...um...how do you feel, dear?
0:53:41 > 0:53:45I'll explain later. I'm glad to hear...Good. Bye!
0:54:01 > 0:54:05- Dessert, sir? - No thanks, just the cheque, please.
0:54:06 > 0:54:08- Cheque.- Thank you.
0:54:11 > 0:54:16- There you are.- Thank you, sir. - Good night.- Good night, sir.
0:54:55 > 0:55:03- Hmm.- I'm OK. I should have gone to the opening. I thought it would be less nerve-racking here.
0:55:03 > 0:55:08Oooh! Don't be silly, Ma, it's only a stitch.
0:55:08 > 0:55:09- Lyn!- >
0:55:09 > 0:55:13- No, I don't want him worrying. - He's got to sometime.
0:55:13 > 0:55:18- Hello, Ma. Is something wrong? - Of course not. How did it go?
0:55:18 > 0:55:24- Why are you in bed?- I was tired, Ma thought I should be.- Ma's right.
0:55:24 > 0:55:30- What about the show?- I'm not sure, but when people came out, they all seemed to like it.
0:55:30 > 0:55:35- That's wonderful. I wasn't worried. - I wonder what the critics will say.
0:55:35 > 0:55:40- We'll get the papers in the morning. A glass of milk?- No thanks...
0:55:40 > 0:55:43- ..A hot one at that!- Yes.
0:55:51 > 0:55:54You know what I'm going to do?
0:55:54 > 0:56:01- If the show's a hit, I'm gonna buy a house, maybe on Long Island. - It will be wonderful for the child.
0:56:01 > 0:56:05And a nursery, and a nurse so it won't be too tough on you.
0:56:05 > 0:56:10And a cook. And when it gets older, I'm gonna send him to Harvard, Yale.
0:56:10 > 0:56:13Then I'm gonna set up an annuity.
0:56:13 > 0:56:16He will have nothing to worry about.
0:56:16 > 0:56:21- What did Mr Craig think?- He thought it was a hit. And so did Mrs Craig.
0:56:21 > 0:56:24- It took 16 curtain calls.- Ohh!
0:56:24 > 0:56:27- 16? That's...Oooh! - Four-and-a-half minutes.
0:56:27 > 0:56:33Eh? What...is something wrong? Why are you watching the clock?
0:56:33 > 0:56:36Four-and-a-half minutes?
0:56:36 > 0:56:40- Since the pain.- What does that mean?- Nearly time for the hospital.
0:56:40 > 0:56:43You mean...
0:56:43 > 0:56:49But...it can't be. It's only the 25th March. It's not until May.
0:56:49 > 0:56:53- Isn't it?- Of course. Did you see Happy and Dolly?
0:56:53 > 0:57:00Yes, during the second act. Oh! No wonder four-and-a-half minutes. That clock is fast!
0:57:02 > 0:57:07- What are you doing?- I'm calling the doctor.- I'll get Miss Crutcher.
0:57:07 > 0:57:11- Hello? Hello? - Oh, she's at the hospital.- Oooh!
0:57:11 > 0:57:13Ooooh! Oooh!
0:57:13 > 0:57:20- Two-and-a-half minutes!- That was him! What is it?- Something I ate.
0:57:20 > 0:57:24- What did you have?- Nothing. - He's hungry.- I'll get Mrs Wallace.
0:57:24 > 0:57:28- I'd better go to the hospital. - You think so?
0:57:29 > 0:57:32Be careful. Oh, the doctor.
0:57:33 > 0:57:35Mrs Wallace!
0:57:36 > 0:57:40Mrs Wallace... Oh!
0:57:40 > 0:57:43Who's excited? I'm telling Joe to wait.
0:57:43 > 0:57:45Oooh!
0:57:45 > 0:57:48You were off-side!
0:57:50 > 0:57:53- SHOUTS:- Joe! Joe!
0:57:53 > 0:57:58- Taxi! - HE WHISTLES
0:57:58 > 0:58:01West Park Hospital...wait a minute!
0:58:03 > 0:58:07- I'll pay the gas, Bill will forget. - Don't worry.
0:58:07 > 0:58:11- I'll take that. Ooh!- Stomach ache? - I'm OK.- He's hungry.
0:58:11 > 0:58:13He's scared.
0:58:19 > 0:58:22Leave that, I'm all right.
0:58:42 > 0:58:46- Good evening.- Good evening.- You look peaky, Mr Blakeley.- He hasn't eaten.
0:58:46 > 0:58:49See that cocktail bar there?
0:58:49 > 0:58:55- Tell Jerry the bartender that I sent you.- I want to go with you. Can I?
0:58:55 > 0:59:00You don't need to. I take care of the mothers, Jerry the fathers!
0:59:00 > 0:59:08- But I want to...- I'll phone you over there.- You don't understand. - Go on, Bill, have something to eat.
0:59:08 > 0:59:10Lyn!
0:59:10 > 0:59:12Don't worry, sugar, don't be afraid.
0:59:12 > 0:59:19Dr Strong's one of the best doctors in town, I checked. You're not afraid, are you?
0:59:19 > 0:59:23There's nothing to be afraid of is there, Doctor?
0:59:23 > 0:59:28- Of course not.- Everything will be all right. Everything will be OK.
0:59:47 > 0:59:52- What time d'you have, Jerry? - Quarter to two.- That's right.
0:59:52 > 0:59:58- There's nothing wrong with the phone? - I don't think so. I'll make sure.
1:00:01 > 1:00:03PHONE JANGLES
1:00:03 > 1:00:05'Operator?
1:00:05 > 1:00:10'Just wanted to make sure the phone was in order...thank you.'
1:00:10 > 1:00:17- It's all right. I wonder what's keeping Tony. The papers should be out.- Uh?
1:00:17 > 1:00:21- I said, the papers should be out. - Oh, yeah.
1:00:21 > 1:00:26- How many curtain calls did you say the show got last night?- 16.
1:00:26 > 1:00:31Yeah, I remember you told me that. 16 - that's pretty good.
1:00:31 > 1:00:35- At last! Where you been, Tony? - To get the newspapers!
1:00:35 > 1:00:39- Keep it.- Thanks. - Here, get back to your job.
1:00:50 > 1:00:54Say, this is a swell one! Listen to this.
1:00:54 > 1:00:59"Mr William Blakeley writes one of the funniest comedies seen in years.
1:00:59 > 1:01:04"The play abounds wit, tenderness and charm. Superbly staged..."
1:01:04 > 1:01:07PHONE RINGS
1:01:07 > 1:01:10Hello... Yeah, this is he.
1:01:10 > 1:01:12How's my wife?
1:01:12 > 1:01:15Good. And the baby?
1:01:21 > 1:01:25But you're sure my wife's all right?
1:01:26 > 1:01:30Yeah, of course. That's the important thing.
1:01:32 > 1:01:34Yeah, thanks.
1:01:34 > 1:01:36Thanks, Doc.
1:01:45 > 1:01:48Hey, here's another swell one.
1:01:48 > 1:01:52"Mr Blakeley is to be congratulated on reaching new stature as..."
1:02:00 > 1:02:02BABY CRIES
1:02:30 > 1:02:34I hoped your wife would have shown some improvement by now.
1:02:34 > 1:02:39At first she cried continuously, but you warned me to expect that.
1:02:39 > 1:02:42I thought I'd buy a house,
1:02:42 > 1:02:46so I found one near the Craigs on Long Island.
1:02:46 > 1:02:51She didn't complain or criticise, but she just wasn't interested.
1:02:51 > 1:02:55- Melancholy. - She's always liked pretty things.
1:02:55 > 1:03:00Several times I suggested that she go shopping with Mrs Craig
1:03:00 > 1:03:03and buy a new wardrobe.
1:03:03 > 1:03:07She'd buy it, bring it back. But no enthusiasm.
1:03:07 > 1:03:13- Sometimes a change of scene helps. - I took the show on the road.
1:03:13 > 1:03:17I persuaded her to go along with me.
1:03:17 > 1:03:20She spent most of her time in the hotel.
1:03:20 > 1:03:23I haven't heard her laugh in months.
1:03:23 > 1:03:26- Cigarette?- Thanks.
1:03:28 > 1:03:31She's grieving over her inability to have a child.
1:03:31 > 1:03:36- Have you brought up the subject of adoption?- No, I haven't.
1:03:38 > 1:03:42You see, I kinda hoped I'd have one of my own.
1:03:43 > 1:03:46Are you sure it's impossible?
1:03:46 > 1:03:50Are you sure that there's no chance at all?
1:03:50 > 1:03:52Sorry, Bill.
1:03:52 > 1:03:55No chance at all.
1:04:02 > 1:04:05- That's all right.- Thanks.
1:04:13 > 1:04:16Snooty, huh?
1:04:16 > 1:04:19Oh, well, I didn't see you.
1:04:19 > 1:04:23That's because I'm getting thinner.
1:04:23 > 1:04:26- How are you?- All right. You?- OK.
1:04:26 > 1:04:30- Timmy, you remember Mr Blakeley? - Sure, Carolyn's husband.
1:04:30 > 1:04:34- That ought to put you in your place. - How's your mother?- She's sick.
1:04:34 > 1:04:37Well, that's too bad.
1:04:37 > 1:04:41Don't worry, Timmy. She'll be all right soon.
1:04:41 > 1:04:46She won't go to hospital because she feels she can't afford it.
1:04:46 > 1:04:51Be sure that she goes and have them send me... I'll take care of it.
1:04:51 > 1:04:58Oh, Bill! I can take care of Timmy while she's gone. How's Carolyn?
1:04:58 > 1:05:00Not so good, Ma.
1:05:00 > 1:05:03You see, she's...
1:05:05 > 1:05:07Just a minute.
1:05:07 > 1:05:11Timmy, how would you like to visit us for a while?
1:05:11 > 1:05:17We have a house on Long Island with a pool and you can be with Carolyn.
1:05:17 > 1:05:21- Ma, do you think Mrs Wallace would mind?- No, I guess not.
1:05:21 > 1:05:25I have to go. You pack his things and I'll send a car.
1:05:25 > 1:05:29- I'll call Carolyn and tell her Timmy's coming.- OK.
1:05:29 > 1:05:33Timmy will be good for her and she'll be good for Timmy.
1:05:33 > 1:05:37By the time Mrs Wallace gets out, Lyn will be her old self.
1:05:37 > 1:05:41On your marks, get set... Go!
1:05:57 > 1:06:00- Hiya!- Hello.- Hello.
1:06:00 > 1:06:04- I can dive! You wanna see me dive? - I'd love to see you dive.
1:06:10 > 1:06:12Look, Uncle Bill!
1:06:16 > 1:06:21- Boy, that's great! - You wanna see me swim a length?
1:06:21 > 1:06:23You mean... I don't believe it!
1:06:29 > 1:06:35- Good kid, isn't he?- I wanted his mother to come here but she said no.
1:06:35 > 1:06:39- The doctor thinks she'll be out of hospital soon.- Yes, I know.
1:06:39 > 1:06:44Look, Lyn. You're not going to let losing him upset you, are you?
1:06:44 > 1:06:50- Of course not. But I wish there was some way we could keep him.- Me, too.
1:06:50 > 1:06:55- I'd give anything to keep him. - Look, I can swim a whole length!
1:06:55 > 1:06:58Well, stop yelling and swim!
1:07:01 > 1:07:07- What did I tell you? Wanna see me dive again?- No, you've had enough.
1:07:07 > 1:07:10PHONE RINGS
1:07:10 > 1:07:15Blakeley residence. Sorry, they're down at the... Oh, just a minute.
1:07:15 > 1:07:18Mrs Blakeley, telephone.
1:07:21 > 1:07:23Hello. Hello, Ma, how are you?
1:07:28 > 1:07:30What?!
1:07:30 > 1:07:33But only yesterday the doctor said she was all right.
1:07:36 > 1:07:38Yes, Ma.
1:07:39 > 1:07:43- What is it, Lyn?- Timmy's mother.
1:07:44 > 1:07:47I thought she was feeling better.
1:07:48 > 1:07:53Just a few minutes ago I wished there was a way we could keep him.
1:07:55 > 1:07:59- I feel as th...- Don't be ridiculous. Wishing had nothing to do with it.
1:08:01 > 1:08:02How will we tell Timmy?
1:08:05 > 1:08:06I'll tell him.
1:08:17 > 1:08:22Bill told me all about the adoption. To hear him tell it was his idea.
1:08:22 > 1:08:26- He's made the kid a good father though, I admit that.- Yes, sir.
1:08:26 > 1:08:31- I don't believe a word about their divorce.- I don't either.
1:08:31 > 1:08:34Maybe Lawson's column will carry a retraction.
1:08:34 > 1:08:37I'll see if I can get one.
1:08:38 > 1:08:44- Your paper, Mr Craig.- At last. - May I?- Oh, yes, I guess so.
1:08:45 > 1:08:48Oh, yes. Here it is.
1:08:50 > 1:08:55- Did I do something wrong? - Oh, no. Everything's just lovely.
1:09:05 > 1:09:10- George!- I've only five minutes... - This is important, read it.
1:09:10 > 1:09:16Isn't that the most astonishing thing? I saw Carolyn yesterday and she never said a word!
1:09:16 > 1:09:21You'd think she'd say something to me. We're pretty close friends.
1:09:21 > 1:09:27- Perhaps it's not true.- Then why is it here? Has Bill spoken to you?
1:09:27 > 1:09:30Answer me! Has Bill said anything to you?
1:09:30 > 1:09:34Is there another woman? I bet there is.
1:09:34 > 1:09:37He has said something to you, hasn't he?
1:09:37 > 1:09:40Is it that Booth woman?
1:09:40 > 1:09:42What Booth woman?
1:09:42 > 1:09:46What Booth woman! The one in your new play.
1:09:46 > 1:09:50- Oh, Janet.- Yes, Janet! - What gave you that idea?
1:09:50 > 1:09:55- Looks like a husband-snatcher to me. - You say that about all my actresses.
1:09:55 > 1:09:59They appeal to you. I remember ten years ago, that Drake woman...
1:09:59 > 1:10:02You're not bringing that up again?
1:10:02 > 1:10:07I get exasperated. You're always picking that same type of woman.
1:10:07 > 1:10:11Look, we were talking about Bill and Carolyn, remember?
1:10:11 > 1:10:16That Newton girl you just happened to run into in Atlantic City...
1:10:16 > 1:10:20Stop it! Besides, I didn't discover Janet.
1:10:20 > 1:10:25Bill found her. He has carte blanche on everything backstage.
1:10:35 > 1:10:44# Another heart that craved affection
1:10:44 > 1:10:49# Another souvenir
1:10:49 > 1:10:55# To add to your collection
1:10:55 > 1:11:04# I call you Kiss & Run
1:11:04 > 1:11:09# You knew how hard I'd fall
1:11:09 > 1:11:15# Mmmm, was it fun?
1:11:15 > 1:11:20# And did you have a ball?
1:11:20 > 1:11:26# And where there's love I know... #
1:11:33 > 1:11:37Put a call in for Mrs Blakeley, will you, Bob?
1:11:39 > 1:11:43# ..With none
1:11:43 > 1:11:48# Kiss
1:11:48 > 1:11:53# And Run. #
1:11:58 > 1:12:02- Bob, are you leaving?- Yes. - Made up your mind?- Yes.
1:12:02 > 1:12:07- Kiss me goodbye.- There's no reason for phoney dramatics.
1:12:11 > 1:12:13No, no, no! Look, Frank!
1:12:17 > 1:12:22Frank, you just struggle so far. Look, I'll show you.
1:12:29 > 1:12:33See? Get over the fact that...
1:12:33 > 1:12:35All right, try it again.
1:12:42 > 1:12:46- You're not giving me the same reaction, baby.- Blow it, buster!
1:12:48 > 1:12:54I've got Mrs Blakeley on the phone. All right, let's take a break.
1:12:55 > 1:12:58Hello, Lyn? What's wrong with Timmy?
1:13:00 > 1:13:03Tooth? That's not serious, is it?
1:13:03 > 1:13:08Nothing serious, but it has to be attended to immediately.
1:13:08 > 1:13:12I'd rather be there with you. I can be there Wednesday or Thursday.
1:13:12 > 1:13:16Now which is it, Wednesday or Thursday?
1:13:16 > 1:13:19Well, I should think Thursday.
1:13:19 > 1:13:24Well, be sure, Lyn. The show opens Friday and I want you here with me.
1:13:24 > 1:13:29- You've been to all the openings.- I know, but you're not superstitious.
1:13:29 > 1:13:33I'm not superstitious. I just miss you, that's all.
1:13:33 > 1:13:37You be sure and be here Thursday. OK, sweetie. Bye.
1:13:40 > 1:13:44APPLAUSE
1:14:20 > 1:14:25Looks like another hit. I'll call my wife and give her the good news.
1:14:25 > 1:14:27Yeah, your wife'll be interested.
1:14:27 > 1:14:32- What do you mean by that? - Well, Lyn isn't concerned.
1:14:32 > 1:14:36- Bill, don't be ridiculous. - Well, she isn't here, is she?
1:14:36 > 1:14:40- Weren't they wonderful?- Yes. - And you were wonderful, too.
1:14:40 > 1:14:46You gave an excellent performance. See you in the Oyster Bar, Bill.
1:14:46 > 1:14:50- You were embarrassed when I kissed you.- Of course not!
1:14:50 > 1:14:52You weren't?
1:14:58 > 1:15:02George, why is Janet in all Bill's plays?
1:15:02 > 1:15:07- She had her first part in his first play. Sentiment I guess.- You mean...
1:15:07 > 1:15:12- No no!- How do you know what I mean and why did you leave him with her?
1:15:12 > 1:15:18I had to arrange the New York opening. Besides, Bill's old enough to vote.
1:15:18 > 1:15:22No man is old enough to vote when another woman's concerned!
1:15:22 > 1:15:24I'm going to tell Carolyn.
1:15:24 > 1:15:28You don't tell a wife her husband's mixed up with another woman!
1:15:28 > 1:15:33- It just isn't done.- Maybe not by men, but women operate differently!
1:15:33 > 1:15:39Where would we be if Ann hadn't called me and told me all about that Newton girl?
1:15:42 > 1:15:45So, that's how she found out.
1:15:48 > 1:15:52Bill was furious when I didn't meet him.
1:15:52 > 1:15:55I started watching Lawson on TV.
1:15:55 > 1:16:00All these friends started calling so I took the receiver off the hook.
1:16:00 > 1:16:04- I tried to get you. - Then I phoned Lucy Lawson.
1:16:04 > 1:16:08She says she got the story from a reliable source in Philadelphia.
1:16:08 > 1:16:11She didn't say who it was.
1:16:11 > 1:16:16I can't believe that Bill would go so far over a silly argument.
1:16:16 > 1:16:21It isn't silly. You've been wrapped up in Timmy and neglected Bill.
1:16:21 > 1:16:26- It's not true.- It is! You mothered Bill until he became a success.
1:16:26 > 1:16:29Then you turned to Timmy.
1:16:29 > 1:16:33Well, I've got news for you. Bill still needs a mother, too.
1:16:33 > 1:16:37And a wife... Or reasonable substitute thereof.
1:16:37 > 1:16:41- What are you talking about? - Holding a husband.
1:16:41 > 1:16:45- You let your man go on the road with another woman.- Another woman?!
1:16:45 > 1:16:50- Janet Booth.- No, not Bill. - Not so much Bill as Booth.
1:16:53 > 1:16:55So, that's the way it is.
1:16:55 > 1:16:58Since time began, dear.
1:17:00 > 1:17:04- What are you going to do? - I'm going to Philadelphia.
1:17:04 > 1:17:06Now you're using your brains,
1:17:06 > 1:17:09but don't go in like an irate wife.
1:17:09 > 1:17:13- Ma, where are you going? - I'm going to Philadelphia, Timmy.
1:17:13 > 1:17:17- Would you? - Sure, I'll take care of him.
1:17:17 > 1:17:21- Are you going to see Uncle Bill? - I certainly am.
1:17:22 > 1:17:24What's Uncle Bill done?
1:17:24 > 1:17:27What you'll do when you get old enough.
1:17:31 > 1:17:34- Why don't you come over for breakfast?- Breakfast?
1:17:34 > 1:17:37Yes, I have my own coffee maker.
1:17:37 > 1:17:40Oh? That's nice.
1:17:47 > 1:17:52- You made a bad entrance? - No. Just go over the script a bit.
1:17:52 > 1:17:54- Had your breakfast?- No.
1:17:54 > 1:17:59- What'll it be?- Don't bother, Bob. I'll call them later.
1:18:01 > 1:18:02OK.
1:19:04 > 1:19:08Hello, operator? Give me Miss Booth's suite. It's Mr Blakeley.
1:19:08 > 1:19:10Thank you.
1:19:22 > 1:19:24It can't be!
1:19:24 > 1:19:27I haven't done anything yet!
1:19:27 > 1:19:32At least not until just now and then only as far as the door!
1:19:53 > 1:19:58Listen, there was no truth... Well, all we did was...
1:19:58 > 1:20:01Go to lunch, dinner a couple of times.
1:20:01 > 1:20:03Then one other thing.
1:20:03 > 1:20:08Before I read that stuff in the paper, I was sitting in my room.
1:20:08 > 1:20:11She came in to talk about her part.
1:20:11 > 1:20:16I don't know exactly how it happened but I kissed her.
1:20:16 > 1:20:21She invited me to her room for some coffee and I wanted some coffee.
1:20:21 > 1:20:26So I went out in the hall and then I started thinking about you.
1:20:26 > 1:20:28I went right back into my own room.
1:20:31 > 1:20:33You'll never get away with it, bud.
1:21:26 > 1:21:28All aboard!
1:21:42 > 1:21:45What are you doing with that Booth woman?
1:21:45 > 1:21:49- I leave you for two minutes... - Now just a minute!
1:21:49 > 1:21:53- Who wrote that thing? - I thought you...- Certainly not!
1:21:53 > 1:21:57- Then Lawson's a liar!- Yes. - Why did you believe her?
1:21:57 > 1:22:00- I didn't.- Look, Lyn, about this Booth woman...
1:22:00 > 1:22:04I don't want to hear about it, even if you did!
1:22:04 > 1:22:06But Lyn! Hey, the trains!
1:22:22 > 1:22:29- The station master just told me there won't be another train past here for two years.- Two years!
1:22:29 > 1:22:34I guess there's nothing left for us to do but find a hotel.
