0:01:26 > 0:01:31YELLING CONTINUES Granny, look what I got! Tamales. From Mrs Espinosa.

0:01:31 > 0:01:33That was very nice of Mrs Espinosa.

0:01:33 > 0:01:36It's good. Eat it. Mmm. It smells good.

0:01:36 > 0:01:40What's them kids makin' that noise out there about?

0:01:40 > 0:01:43I don't hear nothin'. You ain't deaf.

0:01:43 > 0:01:48Them kids is slobs. Them kids ARE slobs.

0:01:48 > 0:01:50Well, they're slobs.

0:01:50 > 0:01:53Honeybell, are you sure Mrs Espinosa gave you these tamales?

0:01:53 > 0:01:55She would have. But did she?

0:01:55 > 0:01:57It don't make no difference now.

0:01:57 > 0:02:01Honeybell, you ain't got no cause to lie. It ain't refined.

0:02:01 > 0:02:03I don't tell no lies. If I thought you'd snitched this...

0:02:03 > 0:02:07I wouldn't have ate it. Mrs Espinosa gave them to me.

0:02:07 > 0:02:10We must give Mrs Espinosa something sometime.

0:02:10 > 0:02:13HONEYBELL LAUGHS: Look at Ellie May.

0:02:13 > 0:02:15ELLIE MAY HUMS TO HERSELF

0:02:15 > 0:02:19- Well, somebody's happy. - Ain't Ma supposed to come home today?

0:02:19 > 0:02:23So her letter said. What's the idea of them pigtails?

0:02:23 > 0:02:26- What's wrong with them?- You ain't gonna catch no fellas like that!

0:02:26 > 0:02:29Wouldn't want the ones I can get. Couldn't get the ones I'd want.

0:02:29 > 0:02:31So, you gonna change the world around?

0:02:31 > 0:02:36- Pa still sick?- Still sleeping off his hangover, you mean.

0:02:36 > 0:02:39- He needs some hot coffee. - I don't know where he'll put it.

0:02:39 > 0:02:41< His stomach's all eaten out.

0:02:46 > 0:02:48Are you awake, Pa?

0:02:49 > 0:02:50Pa.

0:02:52 > 0:02:56- I brought you some hot coffee. - HE MUMBLES INCOHERENTLY

0:02:56 > 0:02:57Here.

0:02:59 > 0:03:02You're really good to me, Ellie May. You really are.

0:03:02 > 0:03:05- Drink it while it's hot. - What's the time?

0:03:07 > 0:03:09I don't know. It ain't running.

0:03:09 > 0:03:12- Is your mother home yet? - No, she ain't.

0:03:12 > 0:03:17- She should be here, looking after the family. - Ma just likes to have a good time.

0:03:17 > 0:03:21- I'm not a fool, Ellie May. - Ain't you gonna take your coffee?

0:03:21 > 0:03:23No... It isn't coffee I need.

0:03:23 > 0:03:28- Don't you think maybe you drink too much, Pa?- It's only a substitute.

0:03:28 > 0:03:32A substitute for some dreams I once had.

0:03:32 > 0:03:35They've all gone, whistling down the wind.

0:03:35 > 0:03:37I don't know what you mean.

0:03:37 > 0:03:42You keep your dreams, Ellie May. After they've gone, you've got nothing left.

0:03:43 > 0:03:50Cos if you let those go, you got to invent new ones. And they're never as good as the old ones.

0:03:52 > 0:03:55Run away, dear. Run away before you get like the rest of us.

0:03:55 > 0:03:58But I ain't got no reason to run away, Pa.

0:03:58 > 0:04:02What'll happen to you in this horrible environment?

0:04:02 > 0:04:04Nothing's gonna happen to me.

0:04:04 > 0:04:10- Wouldn't you feel better with some hot coffee in your stomach?- I guess I'm a pretty good mess as a father.

0:04:10 > 0:04:12No, you're swell, Pa.

0:04:13 > 0:04:17Gee, Pa, you're so smart an' all. You've been to college.

0:04:17 > 0:04:22I'm always telling everybody how much you know about them Greeks.

0:04:22 > 0:04:26- Some of your writing's on the floor. - That's as good a place as any for it.

0:04:26 > 0:04:31- When your book's done, everyone'll be talking about you. - I doubt I'll live to finish it.

0:04:31 > 0:04:33What's the matter? You got a sick stomach?

0:04:33 > 0:04:38How about some clam broth? I could go to the beach, get some clams.

0:04:39 > 0:04:43- Something wrong with your heart?- No, darling, it's another kind of pain.

0:04:44 > 0:04:48Oh, well... We live, not as we wish to, but as we can.

0:04:48 > 0:04:51So said my old friend Menander.

0:04:51 > 0:04:53Who was it said that?

0:04:53 > 0:04:56Menander, darling. One of those old Greek philosophers.

0:04:57 > 0:05:00I wish I knowed more than I know.

0:05:02 > 0:05:08- The gentleman paid for the cab. - Yes, everything's taken care of. - Out of my way, babies. Yoo-hoo!

0:05:08 > 0:05:10Hello, baby!

0:05:10 > 0:05:12Hello, Mame. You look great.

0:05:12 > 0:05:14Here I am!

0:05:14 > 0:05:19- Is that for me?- Honeybell, it ain't me you want, it's the presents.

0:05:19 > 0:05:21Stop tuggin' Ma. Let her get her breath.

0:05:21 > 0:05:23- Hello, Ma. - Hello, Ellie May.

0:05:23 > 0:05:27- Gee, you look pretty, Ma. - Do I, honey?

0:05:27 > 0:05:32- Where's my present?- Oh, look, Ma's got a new fur.- Ain't I the one?

0:05:32 > 0:05:35- I want my present! - Oh, Honeybell!

0:05:35 > 0:05:37You're a pest. Now, run away and keep quiet.

0:05:37 > 0:05:40- How's Homer?- He don't feel good. - For you, Ellie May.

0:05:40 > 0:05:44And, Ma, here's something smelly.

0:05:44 > 0:05:49Ma, Thelma introduced me to a lovely gentleman, a Mr Hawkins. Tell you about it later.

0:05:49 > 0:05:56- Did you go to the fair?- Oh, did I! I've been bounced about till there isn't a whole bone left in my body.

0:05:56 > 0:05:59- Oh, my, ain't it cute? - GRANDMA: It looks like Homer.

0:05:59 > 0:06:05- Oh, let him be. - When its eyes light up, they look like Homer's when he hits the bottle.

0:06:05 > 0:06:08- Ellie May, ain't you pleased with your present?- Sure.

0:06:08 > 0:06:12- You haven't looked at it.- I'm going to the beach to get some clams.

0:06:12 > 0:06:17I buy her the best silk stockings, she don't even look at 'em.

0:06:17 > 0:06:22- I'll look at them after.- Very fussy about where her presents come from. - I ain't said nothing. Bye, Ma.

0:06:22 > 0:06:25Silk stockings ain't for a girl that acts like a boy.

0:06:25 > 0:06:27You should have bought her a baseball bat.

0:06:27 > 0:06:33CHILDREN CHANT: Yo quiero mis tamales! Yo quiero mis tamales!

0:06:33 > 0:06:36TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWS

0:06:39 > 0:06:43Here she comes. You gonna say it? Yeah. I'm not afraid of her.

0:06:52 > 0:06:55Say it. Afraid of a girl! I'm not afraid of her! Then, I'LL say it.

0:06:55 > 0:06:56Her mother was a lady(!)

0:06:58 > 0:06:59Missed!

0:07:03 > 0:07:06A shame to waste a good smell in a place like this.

0:07:06 > 0:07:09- Well, maybe we'll go steppin' sometime.- Why not?

0:07:09 > 0:07:12You can always play a new tune on an old fiddle.

0:07:12 > 0:07:17- Yeah, you're only as young as you feel. Got some coffee, hon? - I'll make you a fresh cup.

0:07:17 > 0:07:20- Say, is this genuine? - Ain't nothing else but.

0:07:20 > 0:07:23That fella must have an oil well somewhere.

0:07:23 > 0:07:28I told him, "Mr Hawkins, if you want to throw your money away,

0:07:28 > 0:07:32"I ain't gonna stop you." And, Ma, confidential, he wanted to marry me.

0:07:32 > 0:07:37- No!- He did. I said, "Mr Hawkins, one husband at a time's enough."

0:07:37 > 0:07:41- And he laughed fit to kill. - He must be a guy!- Oh, he's a card.

0:07:41 > 0:07:46- And very refined.- Pity Homer don't do you a favour and get run over.

0:07:46 > 0:07:49- Oh, Ma, poor Homer.- Well, somebody has to look after him,

0:07:49 > 0:07:52of course it's gotta be you.

0:07:52 > 0:07:58Isn't it customary for a wife to care for her husband when he's ill, instead of chasing other men?

0:07:58 > 0:08:01- Are you still alive? - Ain't you feeling well, baby?

0:08:01 > 0:08:04Look at them eyes. Like two grapes floatin' around in his head.

0:08:04 > 0:08:08Preserve your acid wit for someone of your own class.

0:08:08 > 0:08:10Wasn't no drunks in MY family!

0:08:10 > 0:08:14One tiny virtue is not sufficient to counteract your other endowments.

0:08:14 > 0:08:16< Big words ain't gonna help that hangover.

0:08:16 > 0:08:19Leave him be. C'mon now, that's a good boy.

0:08:19 > 0:08:21That's it. Thattaboy.

0:08:22 > 0:08:23There...

0:08:23 > 0:08:28- Oh, working on your book, Homer? - What difference does it make to YOU?

0:08:28 > 0:08:32I was telling Mr Hawkins, a friend of Thelma's, how smart you are.

0:08:32 > 0:08:34No need to further my humiliation.

0:08:34 > 0:08:36Homer, nobody's humiliating nobody.

0:08:36 > 0:08:40Who's Hawkins? What kind of woman is Thelma? Where have you been?

0:08:40 > 0:08:46- I've been to the fair, had some fun. Don't you want me to have a good time?- Look me in the eye.

0:08:49 > 0:08:53Oh... Poor Homer. Your eyes are all red and watery.

0:08:53 > 0:08:57- They're red with shame.- You ain't done nothin' to be ashamed of.

0:08:57 > 0:09:03- Sneaking round back alleys with my collar turned up.- Now, you know how upset you get after drinking.

0:09:03 > 0:09:07I can't stand it any longer. I'll put an end to myself.

0:09:07 > 0:09:12Give that to me. I only got it cos you was afraid of burglars. You mustn't play with it.

0:09:12 > 0:09:16Some day I'll do it. Some day I'll have the courage.

0:09:18 > 0:09:22- Let Mamie rub your head, like a good little boy. - I'm not a little boy.

0:09:22 > 0:09:24- I'm ill!- Of course you are.

0:09:24 > 0:09:26You're a great big boy!

0:09:26 > 0:09:31Oh, poor Homer. Got no gin left. That's what's the matter with him.

0:09:31 > 0:09:34The big, bad gin's all gone, ain't it?

0:09:34 > 0:09:38Mamie will get you some money so you can buy some more.

0:09:38 > 0:09:41I won't take any money from you.

0:09:41 > 0:09:44Go out and get a job. > Get some money of your own.

0:09:44 > 0:09:46The work Homer does takes brains.

0:09:46 > 0:09:50- They'll never read his book, even if he does finish it.- Here...

0:09:50 > 0:09:53- Take it and have a good time. - I'll take it.

0:09:53 > 0:09:55I hope you enjoy my degradation.

0:09:55 > 0:09:57It's all right with me, Toots.

0:09:57 > 0:10:03- Don't fall in the ditch like last time. - I'd cover him up and let him lay.

0:10:11 > 0:10:13HORN HOOTS

0:10:15 > 0:10:21- Goin' down to the beach?- Yeah. Why?- Hop in. I'll give you a ride. - Nah, I ain't takin' no chances.

0:10:21 > 0:10:24You don't have to be scared of a silly old man like me.

0:10:24 > 0:10:27I ain't exactly scared.

0:10:27 > 0:10:31Hop in, then. I'm just hankerin' to have a talk with somebody.

0:10:33 > 0:10:35I ain't got much to talk about.

0:10:35 > 0:10:39You don't have to worry. I'll do all the talking.

0:10:39 > 0:10:42- Go down to the beach often? - Uh-huh.

0:10:42 > 0:10:44- Going fishing?- Nope, clamming.

0:10:44 > 0:10:48- You like to eat clams?- I ain't gonna train 'em for no circus.

0:10:48 > 0:10:51HE LAUGHS That's what I get for being nosy.

0:10:51 > 0:10:56- Why not buy 'em in town? Save you a long trip.- They gotta be fresh on account of my sister, Honeybell.

0:10:56 > 0:11:03- What's wrong with her?- She's sick. If they ain't fresh, she might get a sick stomach.- Sorry to hear that.

0:11:05 > 0:11:10- You live down by the beach? - Yeah. I run a hamburger stand by the canneries.

0:11:10 > 0:11:14I was gonna have lunch at the beach but I forgot my pocket-book.

0:11:14 > 0:11:18- Maybe I can fix you up.- Oh, I didn't mean it that way.- It's all right.

0:11:18 > 0:11:24- Why ain't you at school? - I don't have to be.- Why not? - I get my learning from my pa.

0:11:24 > 0:11:27- Is he a schoolteacher? - No, he went to college.

0:11:27 > 0:11:32- He's learning me all about them old Greeks.- I wouldn't know about them. - They was mighty smart.

0:11:32 > 0:11:37- Don't the authorities say nothing about your schoolin'? - I'm older than I look.

0:11:37 > 0:11:43- What do you wear pigtails for? - Well, if fellas think you're a kid, they leave you be.

0:11:44 > 0:11:49- It's just to keep the fellas from getting fresh.- Me, too? - You're a fella, ain't you?

0:11:49 > 0:11:52I'm just an old hunk of buzzard bait!

0:11:52 > 0:11:56- Well, you used to be a fella. - I'LL say I was!

0:11:56 > 0:11:58You said something, kid!

0:12:08 > 0:12:12- Here we are. What did you say your name was?- Ellie May.

0:12:12 > 0:12:17- Come on, Ellie May. We'll fix you up a sandwich.- Maybe I hadn't oughtta.

0:12:17 > 0:12:20- Ain't you hungry?- But I ain't got no money.- Pay some other time.

0:12:20 > 0:12:27CUSTOMER: You can have my share of them fish canneries. Them sardines is getting me down.

0:12:27 > 0:12:30You get used to the smell after five years.

0:12:30 > 0:12:36- How about topping up your lunch with sardine pie?- I aint feeling so good. - Nobody feels good that eats in here.

0:12:36 > 0:12:38GRAMPY: Leave off them corny jokes.

0:12:38 > 0:12:43- We gotta give the customers SOMETHING for their money. - Fix that kid something to eat.

0:12:43 > 0:12:49Boy, you're picking 'em young, Granpappy. Right out of grammar school.

0:12:49 > 0:12:55- What'll it be? - One of your 10-centers.- They're good'uns. Best manila rope in town.

0:12:55 > 0:12:57A little longer, you could hang yourself with it.

0:12:57 > 0:12:59It's bad enough to have to smoke 'em.

0:12:59 > 0:13:05Don't look now but there's a truant officer right behind you. What'll it be, sister?

0:13:05 > 0:13:11- What do you have?- For schoolkids? How about a nice bowl of alphabet soup?- Here you are.

0:13:11 > 0:13:15- Don't heed him. His mind wanders. - Maybe it never came back.

0:13:15 > 0:13:20- < You ain't getting no laughs on her. - Wait till she eats that sandwich.

0:13:20 > 0:13:22We paint the ham on with a brush.

0:13:22 > 0:13:26- TOOT! There's the whistle. - Give my regards to the sardines.

0:13:26 > 0:13:28- Hey, can I take this with me?- Sure.

0:13:28 > 0:13:34- Where's a good place to dig clams? - What kind of clams?- The kind that don't make so much noise.

0:13:34 > 0:13:37- That oughtta shut you up. - She ain't bad on the comeback.

0:13:37 > 0:13:42- Did you get to town and get them bolts for the pump?- There ain't no rush about them bolts.

0:13:42 > 0:13:45Maybe there ain't no rush for you, but there IS for the pump.

0:13:45 > 0:13:51- Say, who IS that kid, anyhow? - If you could get your mind off women for five minutes,

0:13:51 > 0:13:56- we might be able to do something around here.- Who wants to get their mind off women?

0:14:05 > 0:14:07How are you doing?

0:14:08 > 0:14:11I'm doing all right.

0:14:15 > 0:14:20- Getting any clams?- Ain't any. I told them some of your jokes and they ran away.

0:14:20 > 0:14:24- You don't think I'm funny, do you? - Nope.- Well, I don't, either.

0:14:24 > 0:14:28- Why tell them dumb jokes? - In my business, you gotta have repartee.

0:14:28 > 0:14:32- Have what?- Repartee. If you don't put on an act, they go someplace else to eat.

0:14:32 > 0:14:38- What's that got to do with me? - When you didn't laugh, I figured you had some sense.

0:14:38 > 0:14:40Them Portagee gals will laugh at anything.

0:14:40 > 0:14:43- I ain't a Portagee gal. - That's what I say.

0:14:43 > 0:14:45Hey, you ain't doing that right.

0:14:45 > 0:14:51- Who says I ain't?- Do you expect to find clams under them rocks? - Maybe you know better(!)

0:14:51 > 0:14:56- You oughtta have a clam ring. - Maybe I oughtta but I ain't got one.

0:14:56 > 0:14:59There's a right way and a wrong way to do everything.

0:15:00 > 0:15:04- What are you gonna do? - Hit you over the head(!) - You'd better not.

0:15:04 > 0:15:08C'mon. I want to show you something you don't know.

0:15:10 > 0:15:15- You can't find clams above the high water.- What of it?- I'm just telling

0:15:15 > 0:15:20- We both know there must be clams here.- What are you gonna do with that rock?- I'll show you.

0:15:20 > 0:15:23Drop the rock. The clams spit. Then you know where they are.

0:15:23 > 0:15:27- Why do they do that? - I don't know but that's how they give themselves away.

0:15:27 > 0:15:30- You should dig 'em with a rake. - This is more fun.

0:15:30 > 0:15:34Another way to get 'em is to sneak out on a dark night and whistle.

0:15:34 > 0:15:38The clams come up to see what's making all the racket,

0:15:38 > 0:15:41you sprinkle a little salt on their and you got 'em.

0:15:41 > 0:15:45- That's more repartee, ain't it? - Don't nothing get a rise out of you?

0:15:46 > 0:15:49Not unless I want it to.

0:16:00 > 0:16:03Hey, where are you going?

0:16:03 > 0:16:08- Going home.- I got some more clams for you.- I got enough.

0:16:08 > 0:16:11What's wrong with you? Give me that bag.

0:16:18 > 0:16:20- Where do you live?- Why?

0:16:20 > 0:16:25- I'll give you a lift.- I just want my clams.- You'll get your clams.

0:16:25 > 0:16:30- Hiya, jaco! Jacito! - Hi, pollita Carmelita!

0:16:30 > 0:16:32Who's your girlfriend?

0:16:32 > 0:16:36I found her here with the clams but they got more sense of humour.

0:16:36 > 0:16:41- Comin' to the Bluebell tonight?- Sure! Someon's gotta keep you gals happy.

0:16:41 > 0:16:46- I sure knock 'em dead, don't I? - You go talk to them. I'll go on.

0:16:46 > 0:16:51- I'll see enough of her tonight. Let me help you up.- I can take care of myself.- Go ahead.

0:16:52 > 0:16:57Well, thanks for helping me with them clams. I'll be getting on home now.

0:16:57 > 0:16:59Get in there.

0:16:59 > 0:17:03- Where are you taking me? - I'm taking you where you're going.

0:17:03 > 0:17:08- You ain't taking me noplace else? - Where else do you want to go?

0:17:08 > 0:17:13- I don't want to go noplace.- Boy, I've seen some stubborn dames but none like you.

0:17:13 > 0:17:15Don't you never open up?

0:17:24 > 0:17:28- Where do you live in town? - In a house.

0:17:28 > 0:17:32- I thought maybe you lived in a tree.- We moved.

0:17:32 > 0:17:36You're harder to open up than one of them clams.

0:17:36 > 0:17:41It don't make much difference where you live. We may never get to town anyhow.

0:17:41 > 0:17:44- Why?- I'm just learning to drive this thing.

0:17:44 > 0:17:46One of these is the gas. Look out!

0:17:54 > 0:17:58- Where are we? - Give you a thrill?- No!

0:17:59 > 0:18:01Yippee!

0:18:03 > 0:18:06You probably think you're pretty funny.

0:18:06 > 0:18:10- I'll get a rise out of you yet. - That's what YOU think!

0:18:10 > 0:18:14What are you trying to do? Dump me in the ocean?

0:18:14 > 0:18:19- Why not just turn the thing all the way over and kill the both of us?- Yeah!

0:18:19 > 0:18:21What's it gonna get you?

0:18:21 > 0:18:24I'll...get a...rise...

0:18:24 > 0:18:26out of you...yet!

0:18:26 > 0:18:29Why don't you stay on your side of the road?

0:18:29 > 0:18:30Hey...!

0:18:40 > 0:18:43- You still here?- Some of me.

0:18:43 > 0:18:47- I give up. You ain't got a rise in you.- I have if I want to have.

0:18:47 > 0:18:50- Will I slow her down? - You gettin' scared?

0:18:52 > 0:18:58- Ain't you ever been out with a guy before?- No.- Well, maybe THAT'S what's the matter.

0:18:58 > 0:18:59With who?

0:18:59 > 0:19:02What's that you got under your nose?

0:19:03 > 0:19:05- Is it off?- Let me see.

0:19:06 > 0:19:10- What did you do that for?- Well, I finally got a rise out of you.

0:19:10 > 0:19:17- I don't go letting fellas kiss me. - I don't go letting girls slap me neither.- You should have been.

0:19:20 > 0:19:24- You'd think you'd never been kissed before.- Well, I ain't.

0:19:24 > 0:19:26Not by a fella.

0:19:26 > 0:19:30- I'm sorry.- I ain't one of them Portagee gals.- I never said you was.

0:19:30 > 0:19:34- Maybe you can go round kissing them.- Forget it!

0:19:34 > 0:19:37- Well, I AIN'T one of them Portagee gals.- I never said you WAS.

0:19:37 > 0:19:42- I knew you was different first time I seen you.- That's more like it.

0:19:42 > 0:19:48- How'd you know?- Your face and neck's the same colour. Them Portagee girls rouge up a lot.

0:19:48 > 0:19:50SIREN BLARES

0:19:50 > 0:19:53Which way do you turn here? Right or left?

0:19:53 > 0:19:56If I was you, I think I'd pull over to the kerb.

0:19:58 > 0:20:00I guess maybe I better had.

0:20:12 > 0:20:16- Think you're the Wild Man of Borneo?- Why'd you stop us? - Time somebody did.

0:20:16 > 0:20:19- I didn't mind him bumping me around.- I did.

0:20:19 > 0:20:23- He was only trying to get a rise. - He got one out of me.

0:20:23 > 0:20:25Let me see your licence.

0:20:31 > 0:20:33I must have forgot my pocket book.

0:20:33 > 0:20:36Oh, so you haven't got a licence?

0:20:36 > 0:20:39- I HAD one.- We'd better take a run down to the station.

0:20:39 > 0:20:44- Looks like I'm going to jail. - He can't do that to you. - That's the way it looks.

0:20:44 > 0:20:46Ohh...

0:20:46 > 0:20:52- I wouldn't want that to happen. - Why not? After what I done to you? - I didn't mind it that much.

0:20:53 > 0:20:56- Is that yours? - Hey, where'd you get that?

0:20:56 > 0:21:00- On the beach. I meant to ask you was it yours.- Officer, I found it.

0:21:01 > 0:21:04- Are you sure you're Ed Wallace? - That's me.

0:21:04 > 0:21:07- If you'd kept that, I'd never have known.- You saying I would?

0:21:07 > 0:21:12- I never said you WOULD. I said you could have. - I wouldn't have.- All right.

0:21:12 > 0:21:16- Maybe them Portagee gals would have, but not me. - You don't have to get sore.

0:21:16 > 0:21:21- I ain't sore. I just wouldn't do nothin' like that.- Right, so you wouldn't do nothin' like that.

0:21:21 > 0:21:24He won't have to go to jail now, will he?

0:21:24 > 0:21:26No, but YOU will if you don't pipe down.

0:21:26 > 0:21:32- Run along before you get in trouble.- Well, thanks for everything.- I ain't done nothing.

0:21:32 > 0:21:35- You helped me with them clams. - Forget it.

0:21:35 > 0:21:41- When people do things for me, I like to let them know about it. - No need to make a fuss about it.

0:21:41 > 0:21:42Well...

0:21:42 > 0:21:45- I guess I'd better be going. - Well, so long.

0:21:48 > 0:21:53- I go down to the beach every once in a while.- Fine. See you sometime.

0:21:55 > 0:21:57Bye.

0:21:57 > 0:21:59So long.

0:22:00 > 0:22:01Here.

0:22:04 > 0:22:06Here's your invite.

0:22:07 > 0:22:08Thanks.

0:22:11 > 0:22:17- You suppose Homer will be in for supper?- Probably, if he didn't fall in that ditch again.

0:22:17 > 0:22:21- Too bad to waste that chop suey on his stomach.- There's plenty of it.

0:22:21 > 0:22:24Wait till you see Ellie May!

0:22:24 > 0:22:29- She ain't sick? - She's powdering her face. - I wouldn't worry about that.

0:22:29 > 0:22:34- Have you washed for supper? - You look sweaty.- Horses sweat. Ladies feel the heat.

0:22:34 > 0:22:37You come right here and get washed.

0:22:37 > 0:22:39I don't want to wash again!

0:22:39 > 0:22:42Ain't you hungry? Got nothin' but slack.

0:22:42 > 0:22:45Where did you learn them words?

0:22:45 > 0:22:48- I heard Granny say it. - Well, it ain't refined.

0:22:55 > 0:22:59GRANDMA: We can take HIS plate off. Make more room at the table.

0:22:59 > 0:23:02I'm getting sick of looking at that pan, anyway.

0:23:08 > 0:23:13- Ellie May, you're all dressed up. Where are you going?- Just out.

0:23:13 > 0:23:17- I thought you didn't want them silk stockings.- I never said that.

0:23:17 > 0:23:19Ain't so particular all of a sudden.

0:23:19 > 0:23:23- Ma, let her be.- She ain't fooling nobody. What's his name?

0:23:23 > 0:23:26# Ellie's got a fella. Ellie's got a fella. #

0:23:26 > 0:23:32- Ain't it all right?- Can't I dress up without having a fella? - Those are MY slippers!

0:23:32 > 0:23:36- They're rotting away in the trunk. - You ain't gonna lay me away yet.

0:23:36 > 0:23:40Oh, hush, Ma. Ain't she wearin' MY best hat AND my purse?

0:23:40 > 0:23:45- Wait a minute. Don't run away. - You gonna eat?- I ain't hungry.

0:23:45 > 0:23:47- # Ellie's got a fella... # - Enough out of you!

0:23:47 > 0:23:51- Don't grab the first cat out of the bag.- I ain't grabbing nothing.

0:23:51 > 0:23:55Here y'are, hon. Here. If you're gonna step out, do it in style.

0:23:55 > 0:23:57Aw, gee, Ma.

0:23:57 > 0:23:59Thanks.

0:23:59 > 0:24:04- I hope I don't lose it. - I don't care. Just so long as you look pretty.

0:24:04 > 0:24:07You would think she was gonna get hung!

0:24:07 > 0:24:08Ellie May...

0:24:10 > 0:24:15- What's come over my baby?- Oh, Ma, I didn't want this to happen to me.

0:24:15 > 0:24:20- It just happens.- He just up and kissed me and I don't know what I've been doing ever since.

0:24:20 > 0:24:25- Other people have been in love before.- Yeah, but I don't like it.

0:24:25 > 0:24:28Don't you suppose I've ever been in love?

0:24:28 > 0:24:30Sure, Ma. I guess you must have.

0:24:30 > 0:24:34Oh, I don't mean Pa. It happened long before I met him.

0:24:34 > 0:24:37Well, Ma broke it up. He didn't have no money.

0:24:37 > 0:24:40But I ain't gonna let that happen to YOU.

0:24:40 > 0:24:44- You mean, you didn't love Pa when you married him?- That's different.

0:24:44 > 0:24:49He'd been to college, knew all them words, kinda swept me off my feet.

0:24:49 > 0:24:52Pa's weak and drinks a lot.

0:24:52 > 0:24:54Anyhow, it's my lot - and I want to stick by it.

0:24:54 > 0:24:57Somebody has to take care of the family.

0:24:57 > 0:25:01Ain't what I might have asked for but I done the best I knew how.

0:25:01 > 0:25:04That's what them Greeks say.

0:25:04 > 0:25:08- Them Greeks down the street? - No, Pa's Greeks. The say, "You don't live like you wanna,

0:25:08 > 0:25:10"you live like you gotta."

0:25:10 > 0:25:15Well, ain't got nothing to do with your fella. What's he look like?

0:25:15 > 0:25:19- Well, he's tall and he's kinda got a big nose.- That's good.

0:25:19 > 0:25:23Them men is usually generous. What's his name?

0:25:23 > 0:25:25Ed. Ed Something.

0:25:25 > 0:25:28If he hadn't kissed me, I'd have been all right.

0:25:28 > 0:25:30- Supper's getting cold. - All right, Ma. I'll be right in.

0:25:30 > 0:25:33He just kissed you and said nothing?

0:25:33 > 0:25:36Yeah. "See you sometime."

0:25:36 > 0:25:39Oh, he did? Well, we gotta do something about that.

0:25:39 > 0:25:45- Give me that rouge. You gotta learn to make up.- No, he don't like rouge. Well, not on me.

0:25:45 > 0:25:47Well, what kind of a man IS he?

0:25:47 > 0:25:49I don't know him so good.

0:25:49 > 0:25:54Look here, you gotta pull yourself together. For instance, you got awful pretty-looking legs,

0:25:54 > 0:25:57but you don't know how to walk on them.

0:25:57 > 0:26:02No matter what a man says, he likes a girl to flirt with him a little - just like in the jungle.

0:26:02 > 0:26:05Ellie May, I ask you.

0:26:05 > 0:26:09If you was a man, would YOU like a g that walked like this?

0:26:11 > 0:26:14Of course not. You gotta put some zing into it.

0:26:15 > 0:26:17No... He wouldn't like that.

0:26:17 > 0:26:22- He's human, ain't he? - That wouldn't work. Not with ME doing it.

0:26:22 > 0:26:25I wouldn't know what to tell you without meeting him.

0:26:25 > 0:26:28I wish I knowed him better so you could meet him.

0:26:28 > 0:26:34- Too bad we ain't got a better place so as you could bring him here. - I could ask him, maybe.- No...

0:26:34 > 0:26:37Maybe you hadn't better bring him here.

0:26:37 > 0:26:42People got a lot of funny ideas. And then there's Pa and Granny.

0:26:42 > 0:26:45No... No, maybe you hadn't better bring him.

0:26:45 > 0:26:48You gotta meet him sometime.

0:26:48 > 0:26:54- Ellie May, if he's your man, don't you let nothing or nobody take you away from him.- Gee, Ma,

0:26:54 > 0:26:58- you don't think I'm ashamed of you?- No...

0:27:01 > 0:27:03You run along. And, remember,

0:27:03 > 0:27:07- your ma's with you. - Swell, Ma.- Run along.

0:27:09 > 0:27:11I'll be thinking of you.

0:27:23 > 0:27:25Ma, why can't I have a fella?

0:27:25 > 0:27:28Eat up. You'll grow faster, then you'll have all the fellas you want.

0:27:28 > 0:27:33- Poor little Ellie May. - It's about time she grew up. MAMIE SOBS

0:27:33 > 0:27:36What's the matter with Ma? Ssh.

0:27:36 > 0:27:38Poor little Ellie May.

0:27:43 > 0:27:47- Is this the place you're looking for, Miss?- Yeah, I think so.

0:27:47 > 0:27:50- Thanks for the lift. - Don't give it a second thought.

0:27:55 > 0:28:00- MAN, DRUNKENLY: When I get home... WOMAN:- Pull yourself together.

0:28:00 > 0:28:07- I'll be right back.- If you go back in there, I'll divorce you.- But my hat...- It's on your dumb head.

0:28:07 > 0:28:11- I'll drive.- Drive? You can't even walk straight.

0:28:14 > 0:28:17LATIN DANCE MUSIC

0:28:24 > 0:28:28- Looking for somebody?- I'm looking for a gentleman.- Take your pick.

0:28:28 > 0:28:30Never mind. I see him.

0:28:34 > 0:28:39Well, just in case, here's my card. If you folks get tired of living, come to my joint and eat.

0:28:39 > 0:28:43- Do YOU go to the joint, big boy? - You said it, kid. Listen...

0:28:43 > 0:28:46If you can ditch these two, come and join a hot party.

0:28:46 > 0:28:49- Can I bring my hangover? - Sure. If it's good-looking!

0:28:54 > 0:28:59- Carmelita, how about a little action?- Not now.- Come on. Musica!

0:29:28 > 0:29:30- I'd like a drink of water, maybe. - Hmph!

0:30:40 > 0:30:44- Hey, how are them drinks coming? - Coming right up.

0:30:45 > 0:30:48­ Hey, Ed. You're getting the buzz.

0:30:56 > 0:30:59CARMELITA: Too bad she didn't break her neck.

0:30:59 > 0:31:01I'll be right back.

0:31:04 > 0:31:09- Well, if it ain't Pigtails. What in the name of time has happened to you?- I fell down.

0:31:09 > 0:31:13- You been drinking?- Can't I fall down without having been drinking?

0:31:13 > 0:31:15What brings you to a joint like this?

0:31:15 > 0:31:20- I came to see you.- What about? - Well, it's awful important.

0:31:20 > 0:31:22All right. Come on out here.

0:31:33 > 0:31:35Let me take a look at you.

0:31:36 > 0:31:38Take that stuff off.

0:31:38 > 0:31:40And where'd you get that hat?

0:31:40 > 0:31:45- You don't like it?- You don't want to be a freak, do you?- No...

0:31:45 > 0:31:48No, I don't wan't to be.

0:31:50 > 0:31:53You're beginning to look more like yourself.

0:31:54 > 0:31:57What did you want to talk to me about?

0:31:57 > 0:32:00I... I just wanted to talk to you.

0:32:00 > 0:32:07- How come your folks let you come to a joint like this?- They don't know I'm here. I sneaked out.

0:32:07 > 0:32:10- Well, you're sneaking right back. - I can't.- You can't what?

0:32:10 > 0:32:15- I can't go back home.- Why? Scared of getting a licking? - I can't never go back.

0:32:16 > 0:32:19- Why not?- I lied to you before.

0:32:19 > 0:32:24- I ran away.- You did? - Ran away on your account. - On MY account?- Yeah.

0:32:24 > 0:32:29- Say, are you off your head? - Yeah, I guess maybe I am. - Just what are you thinking about?

0:32:29 > 0:32:33Well, there's noplace for me to go now. Except with you.

0:32:33 > 0:32:37- Enough of this double talk. I'm taking you home.- Won't do no good.

0:32:37 > 0:32:40- They won't take me back now, even if you do.- Why?

0:32:41 > 0:32:44Cos I...told them that I loved you.

0:32:44 > 0:32:50- You what?- And that I was going with you. And they said what did I know about you, and I told them.

0:32:50 > 0:32:55- They said I wasn't to see you no more. - Oh. I ain't good enough, huh?

0:32:55 > 0:33:00It ain't that you ain't good enough. What did you go and kiss me for? I didn't do nothing to YOU.

0:33:00 > 0:33:07- You're still harping on that?- YOU'D harp if it done to you what it done to me.- All this fuss over nothing.

0:33:07 > 0:33:10They said if I seen you again, I needn't never come back.

0:33:11 > 0:33:15Folks ain't got no right to be as strict as that.

0:33:19 > 0:33:22- I want to go with you, Ed. - I ain't gonna let you.

0:33:22 > 0:33:27I can't cook but I could wait tables and wash dishes and learn some repartee.

0:33:27 > 0:33:30Ain't you got no friends to go to?

0:33:30 > 0:33:33I ain't got nobody now, except you.

0:33:33 > 0:33:37- I don't like being put on the spot. - I could even learn to work them pumps.

0:33:37 > 0:33:40I ain't ready to get married yet.

0:33:40 > 0:33:46- You what?- I ain't ready to get married yet. That's something a guy's gotta think over.

0:33:46 > 0:33:48SHE SOBS

0:33:49 > 0:33:51Now, don't do that, kid.

0:33:53 > 0:33:55Don't be that way, please.

0:33:57 > 0:33:59Hey...

0:34:00 > 0:34:05- Jaco, vente. Porque si no, te corto las orejas.- I'll be right in.

0:34:05 > 0:34:11Oh, I know I ain't as pretty as her but maybe I would be if I had them kind of clothes.

0:34:11 > 0:34:15That got nothing to do with it. All I know is you gotta go home.

0:34:17 > 0:34:21- I ain't gonna have no more trouble with you.- All right, Ed, I'll go.

0:34:21 > 0:34:24But I ain't going home.

0:34:24 > 0:34:29- What are you gonna do? Sleep out here?- Don't worry about me. Go back in to your Portagee gal.

0:34:29 > 0:34:33- You're going right home. - Go on in. Just leave me here.

0:34:33 > 0:34:37- What are you gonna do? - It don't make no difference.

0:34:38 > 0:34:41Before you go, would you kiss me?

0:34:41 > 0:34:43All right.

0:34:43 > 0:34:45If it makes you happy.

0:34:54 > 0:34:56(Now you can go...)

0:34:56 > 0:35:01I don't like to leave you out here like this. Do you need any money?

0:35:02 > 0:35:04No. Not where I'M going.

0:35:04 > 0:35:09- You got me all mixed up. - Don't worry. You won't see me no more.

0:35:09 > 0:35:11What do you mean by that?

0:35:12 > 0:35:17I won't never bother you again... if you'll just kiss me once more.

0:35:18 > 0:35:20All right.

0:35:20 > 0:35:22Not one of them long ones.

0:35:27 > 0:35:29Thanks.

0:35:51 > 0:35:54You don't want to do nothing like that.

0:36:37 > 0:36:41Two of the Portagees got in a brawl. Cops took 'em to the station.

0:36:41 > 0:36:43There's your soup.

0:36:43 > 0:36:48- Say, Ellie, do you call this chicken soup?- Yup. - Where's the chicken?

0:36:48 > 0:36:50Crossing the road.

0:36:50 > 0:36:53It says on the card: Chicken Soup.

0:36:53 > 0:36:55It's just another name we got for hot water.

0:36:55 > 0:36:59Better keep quiet, Al. You ain't getting the best of it.

0:36:59 > 0:37:04- I need my other glasses. - There's a chunk of chicken round that piece of rice.

0:37:04 > 0:37:10- I give up.- Say what you like about the soup but don't pick on the coffee. It's too weak to fight back.

0:37:10 > 0:37:14- I can't top her.- What unlucky guy gets the stew?- Poor old Jake.

0:37:14 > 0:37:19- Where d'you hide the toothpicks? - Anyone that eats in here ain't got no teeth left.- Ain't bad, Grampy.

0:37:19 > 0:37:26You got ME doin' it. My own fault for picking up hitch-hikers. Before you know, they're bossing you around.

0:37:26 > 0:37:29A little bossing wouldn't have hurt you a long time ago.

0:37:29 > 0:37:34- No cracks about the stew. Eat it up, then nothing'll matter no more. - Don't worry till you turn green.

0:37:34 > 0:37:40- Maybe I'd better eat in Ike's. - He may have better stew, but we give free bicarbonate.

0:37:40 > 0:37:46- Ed, you sure picked something! - SHE picked ME.- Yeah, pickings were pretty slim that day.

0:37:46 > 0:37:48CARMELITA: How does it feel to be tied down?

0:37:48 > 0:37:52- Who, me? I ain't tied down. - Oh, no(?)

0:37:52 > 0:37:55Ask me if I'm coming to the Bluebell tonight.

0:37:55 > 0:38:00- Coming to the Bluebell tonight? - What time will you be there? - As soon as I get them fish canned.

0:38:00 > 0:38:03I'll be there, if I can get rid of the ball and chain.

0:38:03 > 0:38:08- Going to the Bluebell?- Who said anything about the Bluebell? - Nobody what meant it.

0:38:08 > 0:38:13- I used to be as free as air once. - Be careful or I'll let some of that air out of you.

0:38:13 > 0:38:17- Maybe I'd better get out and GET some air.- Maybe you better had.

0:38:18 > 0:38:23Wait up. Why don't YOU go out and get some air yourself ?

0:38:23 > 0:38:27- Who gets this stew?- Al. Tell him not to look for any meat in it.

0:38:28 > 0:38:34- Got any scraps for them seagulls? - Si. Pero pasa que tengas cuidado porque tienen una hambre...!

0:38:36 > 0:38:39- It's OK with me whatever he said! - Bueno.

0:38:48 > 0:38:53- Can't a man work without someone snooping around?- I ain't snooping. How about feeding the gulls?

0:38:53 > 0:38:58- You'll have all the gulls in the Pacific round here. - Somebody's gotta feed them.

0:38:58 > 0:39:01- When are we going sailing? - When the boat's ready.

0:39:01 > 0:39:05- When can I see?- Get outta here and quit being so nosy.

0:39:05 > 0:39:11- You like your boat better than me. - You can get a gal like you any day. It's hard to find a good boat.

0:39:11 > 0:39:16- Is that so?- Yes, that's... Don't lean on that! It ain't dry yet

0:39:16 > 0:39:19Some of them good-looking customers might care more about me.

0:39:19 > 0:39:21Oh, they would, would they?

0:39:21 > 0:39:25- How would you like your nose painted?- I never said they DID.

0:39:25 > 0:39:30- Maybe you've been eyeing them. - Or they've been eyeing me. - Have they?- What if they have?

0:39:30 > 0:39:33- I only said have they? - Maybe I ain't telling.

0:39:33 > 0:39:37Come here. You're gonna get your nose painted.

0:39:40 > 0:39:45- Now what are you gonna do?- What do YOU think?- No, Ed, that ain't fai

0:39:45 > 0:39:48- No, no, you better hadn't. - Who says so?

0:39:48 > 0:39:50- CAR HORN - Somebody wants some gas.

0:39:50 > 0:39:54- Let 'em wait.- I'll get it. - No, you don't. No, you don't.

0:39:57 > 0:39:59Can't you hear that horn?

0:39:59 > 0:40:02I'll be there in a minute.

0:40:02 > 0:40:06Oh, go on with you. You ain't much use round here, anyway.

0:40:07 > 0:40:10- Now will you tell me? - Will I tell you what?

0:40:10 > 0:40:14- Have they?- What?- Been eyeing you?- What'll I get if I tell you?

0:40:14 > 0:40:17- Will you tell if you get it?- Maybe.

0:40:17 > 0:40:19Well, here we go.

0:40:22 > 0:40:25Mm. That was good. Let's have some more.

0:40:27 > 0:40:30Now can I see what you painted on the boat?

0:40:30 > 0:40:34I ain't never seen a girl like you. Go ahead and look.

0:40:38 > 0:40:40- You won't be mad?- Nah.

0:40:44 > 0:40:46The Ellie May.

0:40:47 > 0:40:51- Oh, Ed...- Maybe I should have had a painter do it.

0:40:52 > 0:40:54The Ellie May...

0:40:55 > 0:41:01- You don't have to feel THAT way about it. It ain't that bad a job. - It ain't that.

0:41:01 > 0:41:04It's just that...I'm happier than I got any right to be.

0:41:06 > 0:41:09You're a funny kid. Come on, let's go feed them gulls.

0:41:12 > 0:41:18- You ain't heard NOTHING from Ellie May?- She just up and left. With my best patent slippers.

0:41:18 > 0:41:24- I hope nothing's happened to her. - She ain't in the death notices. - Did you call the cops?

0:41:24 > 0:41:28- If she was in the clink, we'd have heard.- Still worried over Ellie May?

0:41:28 > 0:41:31- It must be a fella.- Well, she's old enough to have a fella.

0:41:31 > 0:41:35Maybe she's run off with a hobo like you tried to do once.

0:41:35 > 0:41:41- Ellie May can take care of herself. - It's about time somebody in this family landed something

0:41:41 > 0:41:43besides a minnow fish.

0:41:43 > 0:41:46I say, Mame, how about stepping on it?

0:41:46 > 0:41:53- We don't own that taxi cab. - I've misplaced my best hat with the plumes on it. It was in there.

0:41:53 > 0:41:55Maybe Homer traded it for a bottle of gin.

0:41:55 > 0:41:57Now, look at that.

0:42:00 > 0:42:02- Ain't she a scream? - She's a riot.

0:42:02 > 0:42:04You can't stop HER.

0:42:04 > 0:42:09- Come here. Give me that. - I wanna go with you and Thelma.

0:42:09 > 0:42:12You been at my perfumery again. I ain't.

0:42:12 > 0:42:14That ain't your natural smell.

0:42:14 > 0:42:17WHISTLE BLOWS The mailman!

0:42:17 > 0:42:21If Ellie May was like her, we wouldn't have to worry.

0:42:21 > 0:42:26- Quit frettin' about Ellie May. - Say, Mame, that waistline of yours is starting to spread.

0:42:26 > 0:42:31- I ain't 16 no more. - With a new corset, you ain't got nothin' to worry about.

0:42:31 > 0:42:34Where'd you get that? In the mailbox.

0:42:34 > 0:42:36Sure it wasn't Mrs Espinosa's mailbox?

0:42:36 > 0:42:38Why, it's for me!

0:42:39 > 0:42:42Maybe it's a bomb. Hurry, Ma, and open it.

0:42:42 > 0:42:44That's all you think about - presents.

0:42:44 > 0:42:48Ohh...it's my fox fur.

0:42:51 > 0:42:53It's from Ellie May.

0:42:53 > 0:42:55Where is she?

0:42:55 > 0:42:57Doesn't say.

0:42:59 > 0:43:01She's doing all right.

0:43:04 > 0:43:08Don't worry, Pete. The first two years of married life are the worst.

0:43:08 > 0:43:12- Fresh out of cherry pie. - Don't make no difference. All our pies taste the same.

0:43:12 > 0:43:17- Hi, Al, you came back(!)- Anything I can eat without folding up?

0:43:17 > 0:43:21Stick your tongue out. You ain't gonna last long, brother.

0:43:21 > 0:43:24Let me see. You need some nice Irish stew.

0:43:24 > 0:43:29- Not that you can tell cos it's hidden under gravy.- Fine. And a side dish of arsenic.

0:43:29 > 0:43:33- While you're waiting, chew on some celery. One stew.- Delicious!

0:43:33 > 0:43:37- Coffee, girls? Want some pie? - Best food I had in here yet.

0:43:43 > 0:43:46- HE BLASTS HORN TWICE - How about a little stretch?

0:43:46 > 0:43:52- We made good time.- You're in fast company. Hey, big boy, how about some snappy service?

0:43:52 > 0:43:55- Fill her up? - Just check the oil and water.

0:43:55 > 0:43:59- What's the matter with Elmer? - Passed out again.

0:43:59 > 0:44:02Wake up, Elmer. You're slippin', big boy.

0:44:02 > 0:44:04Say, I wanna help.

0:44:05 > 0:44:09- What's this for?- Water.- Where d'you put it?- There. I'll do it.

0:44:09 > 0:44:13I wanna do it. Boy! I always wanted to work around a gas station.

0:44:13 > 0:44:16The ol' gal's feelin' pretty high.

0:44:20 > 0:44:21Ain't we got fun?

0:44:22 > 0:44:24Poor Ed's got his hands full.

0:44:24 > 0:44:28Get away, honey. Look, you got me all wet.

0:44:32 > 0:44:35- Let's wake Elmer up! - Don't come near my new jacket.

0:44:37 > 0:44:40That guy in the back seat got a shower he didn't expect!

0:44:45 > 0:44:51You know who she is, don't you? Mamie Adams, from Primrose Hill. And who's she?

0:44:51 > 0:44:57- Ain't so much WHO she is.- Don't talk about people you don't know! - I didn't say anything about you.

0:44:57 > 0:45:02- Can't people have fun without some mealy-mouth saying mean things?- Listen, lady...

0:45:02 > 0:45:05She may be good and kind and wonderful.

0:45:05 > 0:45:09- ­ What's wrong?- Sorry, Grampy, I didn't know what I was saying.

0:45:09 > 0:45:12- He say something you didn't like? - He didn't mean nothing.

0:45:12 > 0:45:17- I didn't say anything. - Did he make a crack about Ellie? - I didn't say anything!

0:45:17 > 0:45:23I was just telling him who Mamie Adams... This is no place for wisecracks.

0:45:23 > 0:45:26< I simply came in here to get a cup of coffee.

0:45:26 > 0:45:30There you are. I don't have to eat in a joint like this.

0:45:30 > 0:45:33An innocent remark and it's one great, big argument!

0:45:33 > 0:45:37- Did you hear what he said?- A lot of action today. Who was that guy?

0:45:37 > 0:45:40Some fresh guy. I was gonna let him have one.

0:45:40 > 0:45:45- He made a crack about Ellie. - GRAMPY: No, he didn't. - Well, he made her sore, didn't he?

0:45:45 > 0:45:50- There ain't nobody gonna say nothin' about Ellie May. - It was a mistake.- It better be.

0:45:50 > 0:45:54You know Al, how he gets all fired up about everything.

0:45:54 > 0:45:57- Why not let me do the dishes? - I don't mind, Grampy.

0:45:57 > 0:46:03- Don't let a thing like that upset you.- I'm all right now.- Chico, go and look after the customers.

0:46:03 > 0:46:08- Gosh, ain't there a lot?- A lot more than yesterday.- When there ain't none, that's the time to complain.

0:46:08 > 0:46:14- I still don't know what happened with that guy.- Benny knows more than I do.- Benny, what happened?

0:46:14 > 0:46:20When that gal was spraying the water out there, this guy says to me, "Know who she is?"

0:46:20 > 0:46:23And he said... What'd he say her name was?

0:46:23 > 0:46:26Mamie Something from Primrose Hill.

0:46:26 > 0:46:31- Wherever that is.- I- know. It's the other side of town.

0:46:31 > 0:46:32Ever seen this one?

0:46:33 > 0:46:39- It's an old guy taking a bath.- Oh...! - That's what my schoolteacher did when I showed her.- Quite right.

0:46:39 > 0:46:43- I'm way ahead of you.- You can't work all the time. People's got to laugh.

0:46:43 > 0:46:48- How about telling ME the joke? - You wouldn't know one if you heard one.

0:46:48 > 0:46:53- What's the joke about that old girl that was here?- What IS he on about?

0:46:53 > 0:46:57- Say, what's going on?- Nothing. Go and work on your boat.

0:46:57 > 0:47:02- I don't feel like working on my boat.- Here's one I did when I was a kid.

0:47:04 > 0:47:09- I got a right to know what that guy said.- He didn't say nothing. - So, why jump him?- Well...

0:47:09 > 0:47:14- He asked for cherry pie, I brought apple...- That ain't what Benny said.

0:47:14 > 0:47:18- What'd he say?- That the guy made some crack about the old girl.

0:47:18 > 0:47:22Benny says, I says, you says... What difference does it make?

0:47:22 > 0:47:25Anyone makes a crack about Ellie May, I'll bop him.

0:47:25 > 0:47:29If you want to bop somebody, bop me. Come on!

0:47:29 > 0:47:30Hey, Ellie,

0:47:30 > 0:47:34- what are you trembling about? - I just don't feel good, I guess.

0:47:34 > 0:47:39There now, you got her all upset. HORN HONKS Go on and attend to business.

0:47:41 > 0:47:43HORN HONKS AGAIN

0:47:45 > 0:47:48Ain't you going over to feed them gulls today?

0:47:50 > 0:47:55- Oh, Grampy, I'm scared. - If I knew what you were scared about, maybe I could help.

0:47:55 > 0:48:00- I reckon Ed figures I ain't told him the truth.- He's too nosy.

0:48:00 > 0:48:05I ain't told him everything I should have, especially about my folks.

0:48:05 > 0:48:10- Your folks is all right, ain't they? - It ain't what people IS, it's what other people thinks about 'em.

0:48:10 > 0:48:13The world would be better off with no people in it.

0:48:13 > 0:48:19That ain't gonna help me. I guess I had no right to all this happiness in the first place.

0:48:19 > 0:48:21HE didn't, neither.

0:48:21 > 0:48:24Maybe he'd understand if I told him everything, just like it is.

0:48:24 > 0:48:27Ain't no brains, ain't no feeling.

0:48:27 > 0:48:32- GRAMPY COUGHS THEATRICALLY - That's a pretty bad cough.- Who, me?

0:48:32 > 0:48:37- Go get some cough drops. I wanna talk to Ellie May. - I thought you was through talking.

0:48:37 > 0:48:40It's all right. I wanna talk to Ed, too.

0:48:40 > 0:48:44Always talkin' - I don't know wherever you get with that talkin'.

0:48:45 > 0:48:49Ellie May, I don't want no funny business between you and me.

0:48:49 > 0:48:52- Me, neither.- I don't like lying. - I don't, neither.

0:48:52 > 0:48:57That's why I was gonna tell you about that lady squirting the hose.

0:48:57 > 0:49:00That was my ma.

0:49:02 > 0:49:07- Why'd you lie about her? - I didn't lie. I was all mixed up. - Why didn't you go and speak to her?

0:49:07 > 0:49:09I was scared.

0:49:09 > 0:49:15- You mean, you was scared she was coming to take you away? - Yeah. I guess that was it.

0:49:15 > 0:49:21- Look, silly. We're married now. They can't do nothing about us. - But I ain't told you about her.

0:49:21 > 0:49:24What's to tell? She looks like she might be a lot of fun.

0:49:24 > 0:49:30- That's what I'm trying to tell you. - She may be strict with YOU but she ain't strict with herself.

0:49:30 > 0:49:34- She ain't the strict one. - Who is? Your pa?- I guess so.

0:49:34 > 0:49:39- Was that him with her?- Must have been.- They can't be so poor, driving a car like that.

0:49:39 > 0:49:45- That must have been Uncle Fred. - The guy with her?- Yeah. Couldn't be nobody else.

0:49:45 > 0:49:49- You must get kinda lonesome for your folks once in a while.- Sure I d

0:49:49 > 0:49:54- Why don't we go see 'em sometime?- You mean it?- Sure. All they can do is kick us out.

0:49:54 > 0:49:58- They ain't gonna do nothing like that.- I might get to like 'em.

0:49:58 > 0:50:01Well, even if you don't,

0:50:01 > 0:50:04that wouldn't make no difference to us, would it?

0:50:04 > 0:50:07Why should it? They're your folks.

0:50:09 > 0:50:11# We're gonna have a party

0:50:11 > 0:50:15# Gonna have a party We're gonna have a party... #

0:50:19 > 0:50:23Honeybell, are you too lazy to sweep that dirt out the door?

0:50:23 > 0:50:29- -This is where YOU sweep it. -You don't have to do what- I- do. -You tell me to.

0:50:29 > 0:50:33Boy, how many more times will I have to climb that hill?

0:50:33 > 0:50:35- Something for me? - No, keep sweeping.

0:50:35 > 0:50:39Ma, paper doylies to cover the spots on the table.

0:50:39 > 0:50:43Why spend good money on somebody you've never seen?

0:50:43 > 0:50:47- He's Ellie May's husband. - We don't know what he is. He may be on a leash!

0:50:47 > 0:50:51- Put the chow mein in the oven. - Can I help?- Yes. Close the door.

0:50:58 > 0:51:00Honeybell, unwrap the candles.

0:51:00 > 0:51:03GRANDMA: What are we havin'? A wake?

0:51:03 > 0:51:07Now, Honeybell, I want you to remember. Don't talk too much.

0:51:07 > 0:51:13- Can't I even move my mouth? - So long as nothing comes out. - Can't I even say my piece?

0:51:13 > 0:51:16- What piece is that? - Granny learned me a new one.

0:51:16 > 0:51:18Better not.

0:51:18 > 0:51:22- No use learning it if I can't say it. - Some other time.

0:51:22 > 0:51:25­ Her letter said she didn't want you to make a fuss.

0:51:25 > 0:51:30- Yes. She said she wanted him to meet us just like we are. - What else does he expect?

0:51:30 > 0:51:32Ma, why can't I get married?

0:51:32 > 0:51:37You will. All the women in this family are soft in the head. MOTORBIKE ENGINE

0:51:41 > 0:51:45- Well, here we are. Give it a toot. - TOOT-TOOT-TOOT

0:51:45 > 0:51:49They're coming. Hurry up, now, Honeybell. I've got to fix myself.

0:51:49 > 0:51:53- Ma, make 'em feel at home, will you?- I surely will.

0:51:53 > 0:51:58- Your folks sure got as far away from it all as they could. - It ain't much of a place.

0:51:58 > 0:52:00Looks all right to me.

0:52:00 > 0:52:05- I told you we was poor.- I've been thrown out of worse places than this.- Wait a minute.

0:52:08 > 0:52:10Before we go in...

0:52:13 > 0:52:15C'mon.

0:52:20 > 0:52:24Here we are. This is Honeybell. Give me your hat.

0:52:24 > 0:52:26- Honeybell, this is Ed.- Well...

0:52:26 > 0:52:32- You're Honeybell?- Who'd you think I was?- I thought you was two other people.- Did you bring me a present?

0:52:32 > 0:52:36- I plum forgot!- If I'd knowed that, I wouldn't have washed my neck.

0:52:37 > 0:52:42- Grandma, this is Ed.- Glad to know you.- How d'you do?

0:52:42 > 0:52:44- Where's Ma? - She'll be out in a minute.

0:52:49 > 0:52:53Sit down, young fella. Who d'you think you're starin' at?

0:52:53 > 0:52:59- I ain't staring.- He wasn't staring. - I ain't at the zoo, you know. - I never said you was.

0:52:59 > 0:53:00So sit down!

0:53:02 > 0:53:06- Oh, Ma!- Ellie May. Oh, it's good seeing you, baby.

0:53:06 > 0:53:08Ma...

0:53:09 > 0:53:11- This is Ed.- Well...!

0:53:11 > 0:53:15So this is your young man. My, ain't he handsome!

0:53:15 > 0:53:20- Honeybell, did you give Ed a kiss?- Why should I? He didn't bring me nothin'.

0:53:20 > 0:53:27Nobody learnt you them manners but yourself. Ed, do sit down. Supper'll be ready anytime now.

0:53:27 > 0:53:29I... I seen you once before.

0:53:31 > 0:53:35- You dropped in for gas one day. - What gas you talking about?

0:53:35 > 0:53:40- At the beach. The day you were with Uncle Fred.- With who?

0:53:40 > 0:53:45- HONEYBELL: What Uncle Fred? - Uncle Fred? Oh, of course!

0:53:45 > 0:53:49Of course I remember! I knew I'd seen you someplace before.

0:53:49 > 0:53:52- Where's Pa?- Where d'you think? - Well...

0:53:52 > 0:53:56Pa went to the library to find out something about them Greeks.

0:53:56 > 0:54:01- Pa's what you'd call a bookworm. - You got part of it right, anyhow.

0:54:01 > 0:54:03Come on in. I want to show you.

0:54:07 > 0:54:10This is where my pa does all of his writing.

0:54:10 > 0:54:13Everything them Greeks wrote is right in here.

0:54:13 > 0:54:16Philosophy. And he changes it into English.

0:54:16 > 0:54:19- That'd sure be over MY head. - He's plenty smart.

0:54:19 > 0:54:24- Doesn't he do nothing else? - He gets drunk and falls in the ditch.

0:54:24 > 0:54:29Run along, Honeybell. Over here's his diploma. They gave it to him at college.

0:54:29 > 0:54:33- It says what for, but I can't read it so good.- He must be some guy.

0:54:33 > 0:54:36I wish he was here so you could meet him.

0:54:36 > 0:54:40You run on out there now and make yourself at home while I fix up.

0:54:40 > 0:54:45- You tell him a piece, Honeybell. - I can't.- Why not?- Ma told me to keep my mouth shut.

0:54:45 > 0:54:50- Oh, run along.- If I get canned, it's your fault.- All right.

0:54:50 > 0:54:52Come on out here and say your piece.

0:54:52 > 0:54:55Oh, look at her following Ed around. Cute.

0:54:55 > 0:54:58- Ed, take a comfortable chair. - Thanks.

0:54:58 > 0:55:04- You don't see a good-looking man around here often.- That ain't why I'm following him.- Now, now.

0:55:04 > 0:55:09- Ellie wants me to say my piece. - Maybe Ed don't want to hear it. - No, go ahead, I'd like to hear it.

0:55:09 > 0:55:14- She says it cute. Don't forget the motions. - So, what is it?

0:55:14 > 0:55:19- Don't Swatch Your Mother, Boys. - Ed's tired... - GRANDMA: Leave her be.

0:55:19 > 0:55:21Shall I say it? < Go ahead.

0:55:21 > 0:55:23Don't Swatch Your Mother, Boys.

0:55:23 > 0:55:26Don't swatch your mother, boys Just cos she's old

0:55:26 > 0:55:28Don't mop the floor with your face

0:55:28 > 0:55:31Think how her love is a treasure of gold

0:55:31 > 0:55:33Shining through shame and disgrace

0:55:33 > 0:55:37Don't put the rocking-chair next to her eye

0:55:37 > 0:55:39Don't bounce the lamp off her bean

0:55:39 > 0:55:42Angels are watching you up in the sky

0:55:42 > 0:55:46Don't swatch your mother, it's mean.

0:55:46 > 0:55:48- Very good.- That ain't bad.

0:55:51 > 0:55:53Homer...

0:55:54 > 0:55:58- So, you have a visitor. - I didn't expect you back so soon.

0:55:58 > 0:56:01I can imagine. So this is why you're trying to get rid of me.

0:56:01 > 0:56:05- Nobody's tryin' to get rid of you. This is...- I know who it is!

0:56:05 > 0:56:08So, Mr Hawkins, you affront me in my own home.

0:56:08 > 0:56:15- Listen to me.- You think I'm a fool. - It's Ellie May's HUSBAND. - My name is Wallace.

0:56:19 > 0:56:20I'm sorry.

0:56:21 > 0:56:25So you were ashamed to have him meet Ellie May's father.

0:56:25 > 0:56:28< He always turns up at the wrong time!

0:56:28 > 0:56:33- Pa! There ain't nothing the matter, is there? - < He's pie-eyed again.

0:56:33 > 0:56:37- Pa, ain't you feeling well? - PA: Why didn't you stay away?

0:56:37 > 0:56:42- Homer, please.- Now you know. You know what we are - outcasts. All of us, outcasts!

0:56:42 > 0:56:47- Don't cry, Pa. - < Maybe some of the gin will run out of his eyes.

0:56:49 > 0:56:53- It's all right, Pa.- Come on, let Mamie put you to bed.

0:56:54 > 0:56:59- Let's take his coat off, dear. - Why'd you have to bring him here, darling?

0:57:02 > 0:57:07- Don't look so surprised, young man. Ellie May must have told you he was a souse.- She didn't.

0:57:07 > 0:57:11- What kind of a family did you expect to meet?- I don't know.

0:57:11 > 0:57:14We're just like you see us. Ain't no better or no worse.

0:57:14 > 0:57:18- Who works in this family? - We ain't gone on relief.

0:57:18 > 0:57:23- What are YOU? A millionaire? - No, I ain't.- I might have known it.

0:57:23 > 0:57:28- So you put Ellie out cos she didn't fall for a millionaire.- Who says so?

0:57:28 > 0:57:33- You did, didn't you? - What's she been saying? She ran out by herself.

0:57:33 > 0:57:36And, besides, she took my best pair of slippers.

0:57:36 > 0:57:43- I think I begin to get the idea. - You begin to get what idea? HONEYBELL: Ain't you stayin'?

0:57:43 > 0:57:49- No, I'd better run along.- Our supper ain't good enough for him. Ain't he the stuck-up mutt?

0:57:49 > 0:57:52And you don't ever have to come round here again!

0:57:52 > 0:57:57Nya-nya-nya! Stuck-up mutt! I'm a-seethin'.

0:57:57 > 0:58:02- Ellie May, I'm so sorry.- Oh, it's all right, Ma. Ed'll understand.

0:58:08 > 0:58:12- Where's Ed? - He's gone. You're well rid of him.

0:58:14 > 0:58:16Ed! ED!

0:58:18 > 0:58:23- Where's Ed?- He couldn't take it. - Did you say anything to him? - I couldn't be bothered.

0:58:23 > 0:58:25HONEYBELL: You called him a stuck-up mutt.

0:58:26 > 0:58:29- Oh, baby...- Ma, Ed's gone.

0:58:29 > 0:58:31Ed! Ed...!

0:58:33 > 0:58:36TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWS

0:58:40 > 0:58:46- You ain't crying cos she lost that big baboon, are you?- Ma, I've had enough excitement for one night.

0:58:46 > 0:58:49Anyhow, it'll leave more chow mein for the rest of us.

0:58:49 > 0:58:52- Are you ready to eat? - I don't want nothing to eat.

0:58:52 > 0:58:55HOMER STARTS RANTING

0:58:58 > 0:59:04- I'll show him who's got courage in this house! Mamie Adams! Where are you?- Homer...

0:59:04 > 0:59:06Put that down.

0:59:08 > 0:59:11LIVELY MEXICAN TUNE

0:59:13 > 0:59:17- Ed, where have you been? - I've been busy.- We missed you.

0:59:17 > 0:59:20Hey, gang, look who's here!

0:59:21 > 0:59:24Well, if it isn't our wandering boy!

0:59:25 > 0:59:27Carmelita, look who's here.

0:59:27 > 0:59:30Hey, jaco! > Hey, boys, give him a chord.

0:59:30 > 0:59:31# Da-daa! #

0:59:31 > 0:59:34- Where's the ball and chain? - Let's not talk about that.

0:59:34 > 0:59:38What's the matter with him? Don't ask ME.

0:59:41 > 0:59:45- What's the matter, Ed? - I just feel kinda low, that's all.

0:59:45 > 0:59:49- A little domestic trouble? - What d'you ask that for?

0:59:50 > 0:59:53- It was gonna happen sooner or later.- What d'you mean?

0:59:53 > 0:59:58- I don't want a punch on the nose. - What are you trying to get at?

0:59:58 > 1:00:02Well, everybody figured you were stuck on that Adams kid.

1:00:02 > 1:00:04Well, maybe I was.

1:00:04 > 1:00:08- So what?- That's why nobody said anything.

1:00:08 > 1:00:12We figured you knew who Mamie Adams was up on Primrose Hill.

1:00:12 > 1:00:18You're a pretty right guy. Nobody wanted a punch on the nose. So nobody said anything.

1:00:18 > 1:00:23HE PLAYS: "Believe Me, If All Those Endearing Young Charms"

1:00:26 > 1:00:29Back so soon?

1:00:29 > 1:00:31- Ain't Ed here?- Ain't he with you?

1:00:31 > 1:00:36- He just ran out on me.- He let you come down here all by yourself?

1:00:36 > 1:00:42- I didn't mind. I hitched a ride. - Why'd he run out on you? - Everything went wrong.

1:00:42 > 1:00:46- I guess my folks didn't set with him so good. - He ain't married to your folks.

1:00:46 > 1:00:50- Maybe it don't pay to be honest. - It don't with weak-minded people.

1:00:50 > 1:00:52I'm gonna find him.

1:00:52 > 1:00:54Why don't you calm down?

1:00:54 > 1:01:00You make too much fuss about him. I'd like to know what your folks has got to do with YOU.

1:01:00 > 1:01:06NOBODY dare go too far back. Bound to find somebody that was hung for horse-stealing or something.

1:01:06 > 1:01:09Hello, Bluebell? Is Ed Wallace there?

1:01:09 > 1:01:14No, I don't want to talk to him. I just want to know is he there. ..Thanks.

1:01:16 > 1:01:19Grampy, would you drive me down to the Bluebell?

1:01:19 > 1:01:25I'd like to take this with me and hit him over the head with it. I might get better music out of it!

1:01:25 > 1:01:27Come on, let's go.

1:01:52 > 1:01:55Ed. Company's come.

1:01:59 > 1:02:05- You weren't at home. Why did you run out on me? - I didn't like the party.

1:02:05 > 1:02:08- It didn't turn out so good, did it?- No.

1:02:08 > 1:02:11- Ed, ain't you feeling well? - You said it.

1:02:13 > 1:02:16- I'd better take you home. - Who wants to go home?

1:02:16 > 1:02:23- But I gotta talk to you.- And tell me more of them lies, huh?- I ain't never gonna lie to you no more.

1:02:23 > 1:02:25You said it.

1:02:25 > 1:02:30- C'mon, join a live party.- I'd much rather talk to you.- You can talk.

1:02:30 > 1:02:34Hey, folks. I want you to meet somebody with a lot of class.

1:02:34 > 1:02:38- Lolita, Carmelita, Dalya.- I think I know everybody.- Sit down.

1:02:39 > 1:02:41Waiter!

1:02:41 > 1:02:43Now, how about a drink, huh?

1:02:43 > 1:02:45THEY ALL RE-ORDER

1:02:45 > 1:02:47How about you?

1:02:47 > 1:02:50- I'd like a glass of milk. - LAUGHTER

1:02:50 > 1:02:53Maybe we ain't good enough to drink with.

1:02:53 > 1:02:58- That other stuff burns my throat. - I forgot to tell you. She comes from a pretty strict family.

1:02:58 > 1:03:01They all drink milk, don't they?

1:03:01 > 1:03:03That's a good one. >

1:03:03 > 1:03:09- We'd better go.- Ain't my friends good enough for you?- It ain't that. It's just I sort of got a headache.

1:03:09 > 1:03:14Your old man gets a headache writing about them Greeks.

1:03:16 > 1:03:22- Maybe cannery girls ain't good enough for you.- I ain't said nothing. - Who do you think you are?

1:03:22 > 1:03:26Course, we don't come from a swell neighbourhood like Primrose Hill.

1:03:28 > 1:03:30Yous is all nice girls.

1:03:30 > 1:03:31Sure.

1:03:31 > 1:03:34Hey, big boy, save one of those kisses for me. >

1:03:34 > 1:03:37I got rouge on me. You got a handkerchief?

1:03:38 > 1:03:40All right. Never mind.

1:03:40 > 1:03:45I don't like that raspberry flavour. You used to use vanilla.

1:03:45 > 1:03:47Please don't do this to me.

1:03:47 > 1:03:50- Why? Can't you take it? - No, I can't take it.

1:03:50 > 1:03:54- Well,- I- had to take it. Tell them what a sucker you made out of me.

1:03:54 > 1:03:59Tell them how your family chased you out when you took up with me.

1:03:59 > 1:04:00Tell 'em.

1:04:00 > 1:04:02Come back here.

1:04:17 > 1:04:19So you can't take it, huh?

1:04:19 > 1:04:21Ed, please leave me be.

1:04:21 > 1:04:27Who do you think you're fooling with that act? Go on out and jump off the end of the pier.

1:04:27 > 1:04:32- Maybe I'll stop you(!)- Go ahead, I got it coming to me.- I'll say!

1:04:32 > 1:04:37Go on back to Primrose Hill where you belong, back to that swell family of yours.

1:04:37 > 1:04:39Do your lying up there!

1:04:39 > 1:04:42I only lied cos I loved you, Ed.

1:04:42 > 1:04:45What kind of a guy do you think I am?

1:04:45 > 1:04:49You're a swell guy. I ain't blaming nobody. It's my own fault.

1:04:49 > 1:04:54Only, I wish you hadn't said them things in there. I wish you'd just hit me instead.

1:04:54 > 1:04:58Now, get this straight. I never want to see you again.

1:05:01 > 1:05:03All right, Ed.

1:05:03 > 1:05:08I won't bother you no more, if that's the way you want it.

1:05:08 > 1:05:10That's the way I want it.

1:05:13 > 1:05:14Hey...

1:05:14 > 1:05:19Hey, you're going the wrong way. Ain't you gonna jump off the pier?

1:05:22 > 1:05:26Come on, big boy. Forget about her. Let's have some fun.

1:05:28 > 1:05:30Get away from me.

1:05:33 > 1:05:37Just a few minutes ago, Honeybell came running over to my house.

1:05:37 > 1:05:39We sent for a doctor fast as we could.

1:05:39 > 1:05:41Miss, you can't go in there.

1:05:41 > 1:05:45- But I live here. - Are you the lady's daughter?

1:05:47 > 1:05:50How long have you had the gun in the house?

1:05:50 > 1:05:53- WEAKLY: - We ain't had it very long.

1:05:55 > 1:05:59What happened? What happened, Ma?

1:05:59 > 1:06:03- Are you sick, Ma?- It ain't nothing, baby. I'm...all right.

1:06:03 > 1:06:09- So you went to the drawer to get something out of it and the gun went off.- That's what happened.

1:06:09 > 1:06:11- That ain't how- I- think it happened.

1:06:11 > 1:06:13< Why?

1:06:13 > 1:06:18Don't pay no attention to her. It happened like I said.

1:06:18 > 1:06:22Her and my husband don't get on so good together.

1:06:22 > 1:06:25POLICEMAN: You shouldn't say things you don't mean.

1:06:25 > 1:06:29Doctor, it ain't nothing serious, is it?

1:06:29 > 1:06:35She should be in hospital but it's too dangerous to move her. What she needs right now is rest.

1:06:35 > 1:06:37Well, take it easy.

1:06:37 > 1:06:39I'll be back tomorrow.

1:06:49 > 1:06:52Everything all right... with you and Ed?

1:06:52 > 1:06:55Don't talk about that now, Ma.

1:06:56 > 1:06:59Sure. Everything's all right...

1:06:59 > 1:07:01between me and him.

1:07:01 > 1:07:03Good...

1:07:03 > 1:07:06I'm so glad.

1:07:09 > 1:07:12Poor Homer.

1:07:13 > 1:07:15Poor boy.

1:07:17 > 1:07:20Let me see. That'll be 92 cents.

1:07:21 > 1:07:24What's the matter? Your arthritis kicking up? No.

1:07:24 > 1:07:26Maybe it's your liver. Maybe.

1:07:26 > 1:07:30I've been trying some of those new thyroid pills.

1:07:30 > 1:07:35Your change. Like to try a couple? Look here, Earl,

1:07:35 > 1:07:40you take care of YOUR liver and let me take care of mine.

1:07:56 > 1:07:59- Does that make you feel better? - A man needs some pride.

1:07:59 > 1:08:05- You ain't gonna rid your mind of her doing that.- I ain't done right - is that what you're saying?

1:08:05 > 1:08:10- You know what's best for you. - Don't mention her name around me no more.

1:08:10 > 1:08:14I ain't gonna mention it. But things WAS different when she was here.

1:08:14 > 1:08:18- I- was different. YOU was different. - I don't want to hear about it.- Fine.

1:08:18 > 1:08:24- But I think you're blaming Ellie - her - for something she ain't done.- I'm blaming her for lying.

1:08:24 > 1:08:27Maybe she lied cos she was in love with you.

1:08:27 > 1:08:31She must have been(!) Making a sucker out of me with all my friends.

1:08:31 > 1:08:34Hmph. Your friends ain't perfect.

1:08:34 > 1:08:38All that guck about her family being strict. That family strict?!

1:08:38 > 1:08:41They left a taste in my mouth.

1:08:41 > 1:08:47- She ain't her family.- I can't trust her after all them lies she told me. - You have your faults.- So do you.

1:08:47 > 1:08:51Darned right I have. I wouldn't like people who had none.

1:08:52 > 1:08:55Let's quit talking about it.

1:08:55 > 1:08:58- I won't bring it up again. - You better hadn't.- I won't.

1:09:03 > 1:09:05Can't you move? ­

1:09:06 > 1:09:09He sits around like a tired vulture.

1:09:11 > 1:09:13There ain't much to pick on.

1:09:19 > 1:09:21Some hot broth for you, Ma.

1:09:21 > 1:09:27- Doctor says you oughtta take it. - Ain't no use, baby. I couldn't get it down.

1:09:27 > 1:09:31- Why don't you eat something yourself?- I ain't hungry.

1:09:31 > 1:09:35At least get some sleep. I'll sit here with your ma.

1:09:35 > 1:09:36Ma...

1:09:36 > 1:09:39I want you and Homer to go out a minute.

1:09:39 > 1:09:42I want to talk with Ellie May.

1:09:44 > 1:09:46Ma, you've got to rest.

1:09:46 > 1:09:49Such a lot I got stored up.

1:09:49 > 1:09:52I gotta talk about it.

1:09:53 > 1:09:55Ellie May...

1:09:56 > 1:09:59If anything happens to me,

1:09:59 > 1:10:02will you take care of them?

1:10:02 > 1:10:07- Please, Ma, you mustn't talk like that.- I want you to promise.

1:10:07 > 1:10:09I promise.

1:10:09 > 1:10:15A lot of people is born... to be looked after.

1:10:15 > 1:10:19And others is born to take care of 'em, I guess.

1:10:19 > 1:10:22It just seems to happen that way.

1:10:22 > 1:10:26Ma, maybe you'd better try and get a little sleep.

1:10:27 > 1:10:30It ain't all been fun, baby.

1:10:32 > 1:10:35I laughed a lot of times...

1:10:36 > 1:10:39when I didn't feel like laughing.

1:10:40 > 1:10:43And I've cried a lot of times, too,

1:10:43 > 1:10:46when I didn't feel like crying.

1:10:48 > 1:10:55It seems kinda nice...and peaceful lying here like this...

1:10:57 > 1:10:59..just talking things out.

1:11:01 > 1:11:03(Peaceful...)

1:11:04 > 1:11:06Go to sleep, Ma.

1:11:10 > 1:11:12Eat your soup and stop fussin'.

1:11:12 > 1:11:16I'm sick of eatin' soup. That's all you're gonna get.

1:11:16 > 1:11:18There's some on the stove if YOU want it.

1:11:18 > 1:11:20MOTORBIKE ENGINE

1:11:33 > 1:11:37- What do YOU want?- I want to see Ellie May.- What about?

1:11:37 > 1:11:42- I just come up to tell her I've been wrong.- Well, she ain't here. - Where is she?

1:11:42 > 1:11:45Gone to San Francisco with another fella.

1:11:45 > 1:11:49- Won't be back for a week. - I don't believe it.- You don't?

1:11:49 > 1:11:52You think she'd hang around here wastin' time on you

1:11:52 > 1:11:55when she can get a real fella with plenty of money?

1:11:55 > 1:11:57Didn't she leave me no message?

1:11:57 > 1:12:03Oh, yes. She said if that big horseface come around, I was to tell him where to get off.

1:12:03 > 1:12:05And it wasn't the North Pole.

1:12:06 > 1:12:10- So she's gone to San Francisco. - That's what I said.

1:12:10 > 1:12:15- You want me to spell it out for you?- No, I guess not.

1:12:15 > 1:12:22Send her clothes back here. And, while you're at it, don't forget my patent leather slippers.

1:12:30 > 1:12:33Who was it? Just one of the neighbours.

1:12:33 > 1:12:36MOTORBIKE STARTS UP

1:12:40 > 1:12:43Sssh. She's asleep.

1:12:43 > 1:12:45BIKE PULLS AWAY

1:12:47 > 1:12:50- There wasn't nobody here, was there? - ­ I ain't seen nobody.

1:12:50 > 1:12:53Did YOU, Honeybell? Nobody that I know of.

1:12:53 > 1:12:57MOTORBIKE ENGINE FADES...

1:12:59 > 1:13:02..AS TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWS

1:13:24 > 1:13:25Ellie... Ellie!

1:13:30 > 1:13:31Ohh...

1:13:31 > 1:13:33Oh, Ma!

1:13:33 > 1:13:34Ma...!

1:13:34 > 1:13:36MA...!

1:14:03 > 1:14:08- I'll be right out, taxi-driver. - Honeybell, take off your rubbers before you go in.

1:14:08 > 1:14:12- Want some coffee?- No. I want to talk to Ellie May, then I gotta go.

1:14:12 > 1:14:18- Thank Mr Hawkins for everything. - I will.- We wouldn't have had no funeral but for him.

1:14:18 > 1:14:23- He's what I call a real gentleman. - They don't come no better.

1:14:23 > 1:14:28- I'll leave my phone number and address in case you need anything.- Thanks, Thelma.

1:14:28 > 1:14:31We'll get along somehow. We always have.

1:14:31 > 1:14:34You're takin' this too hard.

1:14:35 > 1:14:39I hate to go in there. The place won't seem the same without her.

1:14:39 > 1:14:45You've got to be sensible. Here - my telephone number. If things get tough, give me a buzz.

1:14:45 > 1:14:51I can introduce you to some REAL people. And they won't walk out on you, either.

1:15:23 > 1:15:26Gosh, I'm hungry. Well, you shouldn't play so hard.

1:15:26 > 1:15:30When are we gonna eat? When Ellie May gets here.

1:15:30 > 1:15:34I'm sick of that potato soup. You gotta take the bad with the good.

1:15:34 > 1:15:39If Ma was here, we'd have some goodies. Well, she ain't. Stop talkin' about her.

1:15:39 > 1:15:44- Did you bring something to eat? - Here's some bread.

1:15:44 > 1:15:48- Bread(!)- You wouldn't have that if I hadn't walked all day.

1:15:48 > 1:15:52- GRANDMA: No job yet? - There wasn't any.

1:15:52 > 1:15:56- Did you try the canneries? - I tried everyplace.

1:15:56 > 1:16:00If you had any sense, things'd be different around here.

1:16:00 > 1:16:03Don't pick on me. I'm tired.

1:16:03 > 1:16:08Oh, I forgot to tell you. Thelma dropped by this afternoon.

1:16:08 > 1:16:12Got a nice fella for you to meet. But I s'pose you're too highfalutin'.

1:16:12 > 1:16:15We'll make out all right without Thelma.

1:16:15 > 1:16:17- If YOU don't mind starvin' to death, - I- don't.

1:16:17 > 1:16:22- Didn't Pa find nothing? - He found a gin bottle somewhere.

1:16:24 > 1:16:29- Is he like that again?- His breath would wither a geranium.

1:16:29 > 1:16:33And if he don't stop mumblin' into his beard, I'll call the authorities.

1:16:40 > 1:16:43Oh, Pa, did you go and sell the rest of them books?

1:16:45 > 1:16:49Why'd you do it? You said you wasn't gonna drink no more.

1:16:49 > 1:16:51Is that you, Ellie May?

1:16:52 > 1:16:59- Where's your mother?- Pa, don't talk like that.- She should be here, looking after the family.

1:17:00 > 1:17:02Why isn't she here?

1:17:03 > 1:17:06She'll be here...soon.

1:17:08 > 1:17:11Come on, Pa. You gotta lay down.

1:17:11 > 1:17:13I'll help you.

1:17:16 > 1:17:21- I won't be treated like a little boy. - No, you're not a little boy.

1:17:21 > 1:17:24< Come on out and get your supper.

1:17:24 > 1:17:28You said you was hungry. I can't eat that stuff.

1:17:28 > 1:17:32Eat it or I'll push your face in it. Makes me sick to look at it.

1:17:32 > 1:17:37Me, too. But, with a sister like yours, that's all you can expect.

1:17:41 > 1:17:43I wish my ma was here!

1:17:50 > 1:17:56- Oh, Honeybell. Don't carry on like that. - I don't want to live here no more.

1:17:56 > 1:17:58I'll run away and never come back.

1:17:58 > 1:18:01Your ma knew how to take care of her family.

1:18:01 > 1:18:06- Why did she have to go away?- Please, Honeybell, you'll make ME cry.

1:18:06 > 1:18:12- If you'd quit moonin' about that hamburger guy, you might get some spunk!- Oh, hush, Grandma.

1:18:12 > 1:18:15He ain't going out of his way for us.

1:18:17 > 1:18:19Look, Honeybell, don't cry no more.

1:18:19 > 1:18:23We'll have lots of food to eat and lots of presents.

1:18:24 > 1:18:27Everything's gonna be all right.

1:18:29 > 1:18:32There, I think that just about does it.

1:18:32 > 1:18:36- You don't look bad for a home-made doll.- Let me have a look.

1:18:36 > 1:18:40Say, you look better in that than I ever did.

1:18:40 > 1:18:45- It's swell of you. I ain't never had such a lovely dress as this. - I never wore it much.

1:18:45 > 1:18:49- PHONE RINGS - Maybe that's your boyfriend.

1:18:49 > 1:18:50Hello?

1:18:52 > 1:18:53Hello, Putsy.

1:18:53 > 1:18:57I'll say I have, and she's cute as a bug's ear.

1:18:57 > 1:19:00Sure we'll be ready.

1:19:00 > 1:19:06About 7.30? Oh, what's wrong with that? I've had a lot of good times in 'Frisco.

1:19:06 > 1:19:09We'll meet you out front. OK? Goodbye.

1:19:12 > 1:19:14- Was that him?- That was him.

1:19:14 > 1:19:19- What kind of fella is he? - A livewire, if I ever seen one.

1:19:19 > 1:19:23- Is he young?- Well... he thinks he is.

1:19:23 > 1:19:25What's his name?

1:19:28 > 1:19:31You're as green as a salad.

1:19:31 > 1:19:35- What did I say that was so funny? - No matter what a man's name is,

1:19:35 > 1:19:40- he wants to be known as Mr Smith. - There's an awful lot of Mr Smiths.

1:19:40 > 1:19:44- I'll say. Let me see you walk. - Oh, I can walk.

1:19:47 > 1:19:51You'll do. I'd better be getting dressed.

1:19:51 > 1:19:54- How about getting out my white satin?- Yes, Miss.

1:19:59 > 1:20:05- Where are we going?- We'll have dinner and then a nice drive along the coast of 'Frisco.

1:20:05 > 1:20:07I guess that sounds all right.

1:20:07 > 1:20:10- D'you mind doing me a favour? - Just name it.

1:20:10 > 1:20:13Could we stop off at the Bluebell? It's on the way.

1:20:13 > 1:20:19- Why d'you want to stop off at that joint?- There's a guy there that I owe something to.

1:20:19 > 1:20:21I just want to pay him off.

1:20:29 > 1:20:34- Good evening.- How about a table?- I think so. Follow me.

1:20:41 > 1:20:46- We've got one in the corner. - Is that the best one you got? - Let's have a drink at the bar.

1:20:46 > 1:20:50- I'll have a better table in a while.- Good. - This is REALLY a joint.

1:20:50 > 1:20:55Some people think it's high-class but the booze is good. Hello!

1:20:55 > 1:21:00- Still catching them sardines? - How're you doing with those suckers?

1:21:01 > 1:21:05- I ain't had to toss mine back. - Is that Uncle Fred(?)

1:21:05 > 1:21:11- I just call him Daddy.- Where's his crutches?- When he gets tired, he just leans on me.

1:21:11 > 1:21:15Wanna toss your tootsies around, Smithy? I'm gonna tell that guy off.

1:21:15 > 1:21:21- Leave well enough alone. - Who is he?- I used to swing hash for him. He's hot at repartee(!)

1:21:21 > 1:21:25- He's a pretty big guy.- Mostly air. - What do you two want to drink?

1:21:25 > 1:21:28- Same thing you're having. - Make it four.

1:21:34 > 1:21:39- How do I stack up with them Portagee gals, big boy? - They still got the edge.

1:21:39 > 1:21:42- I'm learnin'.- Didn't take you long to get under way.

1:21:42 > 1:21:47- I play smart. Mr Smith, meet an old friend of mine.- How do you do?

1:21:47 > 1:21:50This is...uh...Mr... I forget the name.

1:21:50 > 1:21:54- My name's Smith, too. - A lot of us in the phone book.

1:21:54 > 1:21:59- But they all ain't so high class. - I don't want a fight.- Don't worry. He only hits women.

1:21:59 > 1:22:05- I should show Mr Smith the pier. He could go high-diving.- He's too smart to fall for THAT act!

1:22:05 > 1:22:11- I ain't no good in a fight.- HE ain't brave.- He's big.- He ain't strong. He eats his own hamburgers.

1:22:11 > 1:22:12Slap her down!

1:22:12 > 1:22:17- I heard enough! - I knew it was coming. - Oh, he's just a big bully.

1:22:17 > 1:22:21- You think you can come here and pour it on?- Let go.- Now...

1:22:21 > 1:22:24I just want to tell this fella off.

1:22:24 > 1:22:28You can't take it. You had something once and didn't know what to do with it.

1:22:28 > 1:22:31You wanted things this way and you got 'em.

1:22:31 > 1:22:35You got me out of your system and I got you out of mine. We're even.

1:22:35 > 1:22:37So long, big boy.

1:22:37 > 1:22:40C'mon, Smithy. I've said my piece. Let's get going.

1:22:40 > 1:22:45- What was all the argument about? - There wasn't no argument.

1:22:45 > 1:22:51- He just couldn't take it.- Come on, let's be on our way.- See you outside.- Let me have the check.

1:22:51 > 1:22:54I'll be seeing you...(sometime).

1:22:54 > 1:22:58Got anything smaller? No. I need change. Boss!

1:23:01 > 1:23:05- I want to talk to you.- I can't fight much.- I ain't gonna fight.

1:23:05 > 1:23:10- I didn't want to come here. It was her idea. I don't know why.- I- do.

1:23:10 > 1:23:13See, we kinda went for each other once.

1:23:13 > 1:23:16I made a heel out of myself. She's just getting even.

1:23:16 > 1:23:19- Don't hold it against ME. - I ain't holding it against you.

1:23:19 > 1:23:22She's a swell kid. You treat her right.

1:23:22 > 1:23:28- You picked a swell spot to start something.- I didn't start nothing. I was just finishing it off.

1:23:28 > 1:23:33- I hope nothing happens to Smithy. - Nothing will.- No thanks to you.

1:23:33 > 1:23:35- Here he is now.- Come on.

1:23:35 > 1:23:37Are you all right?

1:23:37 > 1:23:44- Don't worry. I can take care of myself.- He didn't say nothing? - Not to me.- Let's get going!

1:23:44 > 1:23:45OK?

1:23:48 > 1:23:50(You said it.)

1:23:51 > 1:23:53Let's get going.

1:23:58 > 1:24:01- You're pretty quiet back there. - We're doing all right.

1:24:01 > 1:24:07- Mind if I run up the window? - What is this?- Getting draughty. - Meet you in 'Frisco.

1:24:11 > 1:24:14- You're not very talkative. - I'll snap out of it in a minute.

1:24:14 > 1:24:19- I noticed the ring on your finger. - I forgot.- It's all right. Leave it.

1:24:19 > 1:24:22That big fella back there your husband?

1:24:24 > 1:24:28- He was.- None of my business but I think he's still stuck on you.

1:24:28 > 1:24:32- He ain't said so to me.- Maybe you never gave him a chance.

1:24:38 > 1:24:42- What are you doing that for? - I like to play.

1:25:54 > 1:25:57I hope Ellie comes home soon with lots of presents...

1:26:33 > 1:26:36I take back everything I said about her in my thanksgiving.

1:26:36 > 1:26:39Honeybell. Grandma.

1:26:39 > 1:26:43- Some groceries for you. - Is that what you went to 'Frisco with?

1:26:43 > 1:26:49- We ain't been to 'Frisco. I ain't NEVER been there. - Don't know what you mean.

1:26:49 > 1:26:53- Maybe Ed can tell you so as you'll remember.- Yeah.

1:26:53 > 1:26:58Let's have a talk. You told me Ellie went to 'Frisco and left no message.

1:26:58 > 1:27:05- You can't bulldoze me.- You're through breaking up happy homes. - Is that so?- Yeah. From now on,

1:27:04 > 1:27:07I run things around here.
