0:01:52 > 0:01:56it's been round the world seven times.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59- It's fast, economical... - I'll take one.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01Complete with all attachments.
0:02:01 > 0:02:05I'm not earning my salary - skimpy as it is.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09- That'll be 79.50 plus tax. - I have it right here.

0:02:28 > 0:02:32I'll pick it up at the call-desk. And thank you.
0:02:32 > 0:02:36It's a pleasure.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38- Come back again.- Thank you.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59Fisher and Lewis? Miss Neely, please. Comparison shopping.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02Connie Ennis. I'm in the department.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08Miss Neely, I can report on those nylons for you.
0:03:08 > 0:03:15Wanamaker's and Bloomingdale's do the same shade and price as our Sun Bronze... Same.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18..Yes, I'm in Crowley's. I just bought the train.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21..Could I bring it in tomorrow for comparison?
0:03:21 > 0:03:26I thought, while I'm here, I could buy my son a present.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29I'm tired. I'd like to go straight home.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32..Thanks a lot, Miss Neely. Bye.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45BOY'S VOICE: Good evening, Mrs Ennis!
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Good evening, Mr Ennis.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52You tried to surprise me, huh?
0:03:52 > 0:03:55- I was watching out the window.- Yeah?
0:03:55 > 0:03:57Oh, is it good to see you!
0:03:57 > 0:04:01- I lost another tooth. - Is it under the pillow?- Yep.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04- Attaboy.- Can I help you, Mom?
0:04:04 > 0:04:07Thank you, darling, but they're heavy.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10- Are they for me?- One might be.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13- The big one?- Uh-uh. It's the store's.
0:04:13 > 0:04:18- Why does it have a ribbon?- Anything you buy at Christmas gets a ribbon!
0:04:18 > 0:04:22Hello, Joey. You and Timmy have a good afternoon?
0:04:22 > 0:04:24Dinner's ready. Just heat it up.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27- Thanks, Marie.- See you tomorrow.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29- Night, Tim.- Night, Marie.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32Sorry I stepped on your toe.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34It was only an accident!
0:04:34 > 0:04:37What did you do all day, Mr Ennis?
0:04:37 > 0:04:41- I played with Joey in the park. - What did you play?
0:04:41 > 0:04:44- We threw rocks at girls.- Timmy!
0:04:44 > 0:04:47It was all right. We missed them.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51- What did you do all day, Mrs Ennis? - Oh, I worked and worked.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54Now my feet hurt. Oh.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58You're tired, huh, Mom?
0:04:58 > 0:05:01I was, but I'm not now.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03Not once I'm home with my fella.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08Let me see your lost tooth. Come on.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12Oh, you're all right. I don't have to worry about you.
0:05:14 > 0:05:18There. You look more like your daddy every day.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21Mom, does it hurt much to die?
0:05:25 > 0:05:28No, I don't think so, darling.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36- Bye, Joey.- So long, Joey.
0:05:36 > 0:05:40- Doesn't he say goodbye? - No, he doesn't like to.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42- Maybe cos he lives upstairs.- Oh.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45- Did Carl call? - Yeah, he'll be over later.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Well,
0:05:47 > 0:05:52- I ought to get dinner. You go and wash up.- Oh!- No arguments now.
0:05:52 > 0:05:57- Take off that sweater, get a shirt. Don't forget anything.- All right.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36A train!
0:06:39 > 0:06:43Oh, boy. This is what I've wanted for months.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45Oh!
0:06:45 > 0:06:46Timmy?
0:06:55 > 0:06:56Timmy?
0:07:00 > 0:07:01Timmy?
0:07:03 > 0:07:08- Timmy, what on earth are you doing? - Just washing my face, Mom.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10- What's going on?- Nothing.
0:07:10 > 0:07:14After dinner, pick up your toys. I almost broke my neck.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17Put a shirt on - you'll catch cold.
0:07:26 > 0:07:27Timmy?
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Coming, Mom.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33Well, I can't find anything to accuse you of.
0:07:33 > 0:07:38Nevertheless, raise your right hand and repeat after me,
0:07:38 > 0:07:41I will not peek at the presents until Christmas morning.
0:07:41 > 0:07:45I will not peek at the...
0:07:45 > 0:07:47..until Christmas morning.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50Here. Let me get your shirt.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53What are you laughing about?
0:07:53 > 0:07:57- I just feel good. - What do you feel good about?
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Christmas. Surprises.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01I just feel good, that's all.
0:08:01 > 0:08:06Christmas is wonderful. But you can't expect miracles.
0:08:06 > 0:08:10My teacher says we shouldn't be afraid to wish for things,
0:08:10 > 0:08:13even things we don't think we could get in a million years.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16I don't agree. Wish small and you'll be happy.
0:08:16 > 0:08:20Wish for big things, you'll get big disappointments.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23- Mom!- Come on, out of the danger zone.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25Oh!
0:08:25 > 0:08:28What are you leaving that out for?
0:08:28 > 0:08:31I'm putting it where I won't forget it.
0:08:31 > 0:08:36You're taking it to Miss Martin's so I won't peek at it.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39Honey, I told you. It's not for you.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01BUZZER
0:09:03 > 0:09:06- Well!- Dishes done? - Course not. No, you don't!
0:09:06 > 0:09:08For me?
0:09:08 > 0:09:13No, for the store. It's going back. Why didn't you come for dinner?
0:09:13 > 0:09:15I was writing a long, flowery brief.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18Oliver Wendell Holmes couldn't have touched it! Hi, Tim.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21- Hi!- Ready for Christmas?- Mm-hm.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24- You want to pick a tree tomorrow? - Can I?
0:09:24 > 0:09:30- Yeah! We might even sneak in a movie.- That would be swell!
0:09:30 > 0:09:34If you play Carl at checkers, I'll let him off the dishes.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36He's tough to beat. But... OK.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39I'm sorry, Carl. I'm kinda tired.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42I think I should go to bed, huh, Mom?
0:09:42 > 0:09:45All right. You can listen to some programmes.
0:09:45 > 0:09:49Good night. Feed the gerbils and brush your teeth.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Where the tooth came out?
0:09:51 > 0:09:54No, around it. Good night, honey.
0:09:54 > 0:10:00- I wear the office out with what he says.- Compliments get you nowhere!
0:10:00 > 0:10:03- I'll do it the dangerous way.- Ooh!
0:10:05 > 0:10:09You look like a tired beautiful girl tonight, rather than just beautiful.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13It was a rough day! Everyone in New York was shopping!
0:10:13 > 0:10:14What did you buy me?
0:10:14 > 0:10:18One of those new English cars! Allez-oop!
0:10:18 > 0:10:21I'll let you ride on the handle bars - show you off to the boys!
0:10:21 > 0:10:23I haven't got a thing to wear!
0:10:24 > 0:10:27- We're getting good.- Quite a team.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29Why do we limit it to dish-washing?
0:10:29 > 0:10:32Marry me and I'll buy a dishwasher -
0:10:32 > 0:10:34a French one with a tight skirt!
0:10:36 > 0:10:38What do you say, Connie?
0:10:39 > 0:10:42Could you give me more time, Carl?
0:10:42 > 0:10:44You've had almost two years.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49You know what they say - "This is so sudden!"
0:10:49 > 0:10:53Got to have someone to buy loud neckties for!
0:10:53 > 0:10:55You told me about it.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58Boy, I sure bought Guy some beauts.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01- He must have hated them. - I bet he didn't.
0:11:01 > 0:11:05Any more than I would.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08Carl, I like you very much - you know that - but I don't feel...
0:11:08 > 0:11:14I've done divorces for people who thought, "This is it."
0:11:14 > 0:11:17Marry in two days, divorce in two years.
0:11:17 > 0:11:21But I've never divorced people who really liked each other.
0:11:21 > 0:11:26- There's Timmy. Are you sure...? - Are you trying to talk me out of it?
0:11:26 > 0:11:32I promise you won't have to ask me again. If it's yes, I'll ask you.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34Does it feel like yes?
0:11:34 > 0:11:36Sort of.
0:11:36 > 0:11:40It does feel like time to do these pots and pans.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42This time you'll need this. There.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45I'll never forget when you hired me.
0:11:45 > 0:11:50There I was with the other girls. I was afraid you'd take Evelyn!
0:12:02 > 0:12:05Hey, night owl. Why are you still awake?
0:12:05 > 0:12:07Oh, I was thinking.
0:12:07 > 0:12:08I can't go to sleep.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15I've got something for you to think about.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20You like Carl, don't you?
0:12:20 > 0:12:23Sure, he's a nice guy.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27He just asked me to marry him.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31Are you going to?
0:12:31 > 0:12:33I might.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35Why?
0:12:36 > 0:12:39Oh, for a lot of reasons.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41We could be a real family.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44I like us the way we are.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46I don't want anybody else.
0:12:47 > 0:12:51We could have a house with trees and a yard.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53You might even have a dog.
0:12:53 > 0:12:57I like THIS place. I don't want it to change.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01We'd be the same as we are, Timmy. Only better.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05Well, I guess so.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09Be especially nice to Carl when he comes tomorrow, huh?
0:13:09 > 0:13:11Why? Is it his birthday?
0:13:12 > 0:13:17No. I just want him to feel that you like him a lot.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19Well...
0:13:25 > 0:13:27Good night, Mr Ennis.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29Good night.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39If you marry him you won't be Mrs Ennis any more.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52SHOUTING AND LAUGHING
0:13:57 > 0:13:59S'cuse me.
0:13:59 > 0:14:00Could you wait on me, please?
0:14:00 > 0:14:02Sorry, I'm busy.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04Well, hello!
0:14:04 > 0:14:06May I help you?
0:14:06 > 0:14:08Hello.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11- Well, it's... - Returning the train, huh?
0:14:11 > 0:14:14- It's not right.- I didn't think so.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17- My little boy said... - It was for your boy?
0:14:18 > 0:14:21- Why, yes, of course.- Is that so?
0:14:21 > 0:14:23Anything strange about that?
0:14:23 > 0:14:28What's your boy's name? Macy's, Saks or Fisher and Lewis?
0:14:28 > 0:14:32Honey, I tagged you yesterday. Now I know I'm right.
0:14:32 > 0:14:36Didn't ask me about the train, not even the price!
0:14:36 > 0:14:39Had the right money, including tax.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41Didn't want it sent or wrapped.
0:14:41 > 0:14:45Didn't take much to spell comparison shopping.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48What are you going to do?
0:14:48 > 0:14:50I'll call the store detective
0:14:50 > 0:14:53who takes your photo and sends it to each department,
0:14:53 > 0:14:57- ending your activities in this store.- And I get fired.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59Hazard of the profession.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02When spying expect the firing squad.
0:15:02 > 0:15:07My boy ends up with his shoes from Children's Aid and you're a big man.
0:15:07 > 0:15:13- We're back to little Butch!- His name is Timothy and I support him.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16And your husband is going through college(?)
0:15:16 > 0:15:19My husband was killed in the war.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23Would you like to hit me with this?
0:15:23 > 0:15:28- I didn't mean to bring that up but...- I asked for it.
0:15:30 > 0:15:35- What now?- Now I write you a refund slip, which I think I may regret.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37Thank you very much.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39- Name?- Connie Ennis.
0:15:39 > 0:15:44I'm awfully grateful. It means an awful lot to me.
0:15:44 > 0:15:48- Address?- 165 East 75th Street.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54Look. Do me a favour.
0:15:54 > 0:15:58There are 56 departments here. Don't come back to this one!
0:15:58 > 0:16:00OK. Thanks again.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05Psst!
0:16:15 > 0:16:17Could you wait on me please?
0:16:17 > 0:16:22I'd like to see a union suit. Cotton, fleece-lined, long sleeves.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24Darling, you remembered.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28Now, let's see. Your husband wears about a...
0:16:28 > 0:16:31..size 42 or 44, I believe?
0:16:31 > 0:16:34No, I want the special - the 56.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38Madam, do you know how big that is?
0:16:38 > 0:16:41We just have a few made for...fat men.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43A 56, please.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47Well, that's what I was told to get.
0:16:47 > 0:16:52- Still into commercial espionage! - Fisher and Lewis have to eat!
0:16:52 > 0:16:54Let me say you're too professional.
0:16:54 > 0:16:58A real customer doesn't know what she wants until she sees it -
0:16:58 > 0:16:59THEN she doesn't want it.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01What are you doing down here?
0:17:01 > 0:17:04I got fired.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07- Oh, because of me? - I should turn you in.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09It's a rule, you know.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11How in the world did they find out?
0:17:11 > 0:17:14Little floor-walkers have big ears!
0:17:14 > 0:17:18- Is there anything I can do? - There certainly is.
0:17:18 > 0:17:22When I was a working man - before you - I ate with the boys.
0:17:22 > 0:17:26Now, I somehow feel they just don't want me.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29- And it is lunchtime.- I'll even buy!
0:17:29 > 0:17:32That's what I had in mind, but I'll buy.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35We'll go to my favourite place and I'll order for us.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37I'm in your hands.
0:17:37 > 0:17:38We have a 56.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41It's the only one left but...
0:17:41 > 0:17:45It's exactly right. Wrap it and I'll collect it later.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47But...madam, really I...!
0:17:47 > 0:17:49Madam!
0:17:49 > 0:17:51Madam, I ask you!
0:17:51 > 0:17:54I like 'em loose!
0:17:55 > 0:17:58SEA LIONS BARK
0:18:06 > 0:18:09NOISE OF TRAFFIC AND ANIMALS
0:18:13 > 0:18:16That's the happiest guy in New York.
0:18:16 > 0:18:21- He'll never run the First National Bank.- Why don't you join him?
0:18:21 > 0:18:25Not me. I can't balance balls or eat raw fish.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28I don't want to be him, nor him be me.
0:18:29 > 0:18:33Wait! You don't have to agree so fast, sport.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41- Dessert?- Sure.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46Thank you.
0:18:46 > 0:18:47- Thank you.- Thank you.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54Steve, all I know about you so far
0:18:54 > 0:18:58is you don't want to be a seal or run a bank.
0:18:58 > 0:19:02- What do you want? - It sounds odd to some people.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05- I want to build boats.- Boats?- Yeah.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08Not the Queen Mary - just little sail boats.
0:19:08 > 0:19:13It's not odd. It sounds exciting. Why aren't you doing it?
0:19:13 > 0:19:17For one, the war took about five years out of my life.
0:19:17 > 0:19:22Then my mistake was listening to people. "Do something sensible!
0:19:22 > 0:19:27"Sell real estate, mousetraps. Cut throats and end up vice-president!"
0:19:27 > 0:19:30So I got a cosy job with a finance company,
0:19:30 > 0:19:35wore suits, lived in one room and cooked on a two-burner.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38- You prospered and grew fat. - That was the plan.
0:19:38 > 0:19:42On Monday, I'd buy meat to last all week.
0:19:42 > 0:19:47I'd cook it six different ways, though by Saturday it was goulash!
0:19:47 > 0:19:49Week after week.
0:19:49 > 0:19:54One Monday I went to the butcher's and there was the meat waiting.
0:19:54 > 0:19:58My stomach turned over and said, "Please, not again."
0:19:58 > 0:20:02I asked the butcher for the thickest steak in the joint.
0:20:02 > 0:20:07Wish I had a mink coat for every time I've wanted to do that!
0:20:07 > 0:20:15The steak changed my life. It was too big for me so I asked a friend over. His wife was out of town.
0:20:15 > 0:20:19While we ate, he told me about a job he couldn't take
0:20:19 > 0:20:21because he was married.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24It was a job on a boat going to South America.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27I asked for it, got it.
0:20:27 > 0:20:32- You wouldn't look for a boat so it looked for you.- Right! That did it.
0:20:35 > 0:20:39How can selling trains help you to build boats?
0:20:39 > 0:20:42You don't believe in happy endings.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44I've got a friend from the army
0:20:44 > 0:20:48who has a boatyard in Balboa, California.
0:20:48 > 0:20:52It's not much now, but it could be made into something.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55I'm buying into it.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57I take every job I can get.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00Every 100 I get, I send it to him.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02It may never make me a million
0:21:02 > 0:21:05but for me, it's more fun than digging for oil in Texas
0:21:05 > 0:21:07or coal in Kentucky...
0:21:07 > 0:21:11Oh, gosh! I need to start digging for carpet-sweepers at Gimbel's!
0:21:11 > 0:21:16- I was kept for two hours on a hot dog!- I'll help make up your time.
0:21:16 > 0:21:22- You're a famous interior decorator helping me do my apartment.- OK!
0:21:22 > 0:21:27- Do you always make people talk? - No, I don't always like listening!
0:21:27 > 0:21:30HORNS HONK
0:21:36 > 0:21:41If you always carry so much I should go on the payroll!
0:21:41 > 0:21:46I took some goldfish on a bus once and dropped one down a woman's back.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49- I think I saw the pictures(!) - It almost happened.
0:21:49 > 0:21:53Stop looking so happy - people will think we just got married!
0:21:53 > 0:21:55- BELL RINGS - Hurry, we gotta get it.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57Hey, Connie!
0:21:57 > 0:22:00Stop ringing that bell!
0:22:00 > 0:22:01Hey, Connie!
0:22:07 > 0:22:08Hey, Connie!
0:22:09 > 0:22:13- Will you take this a minute? - Yes, dear.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16- Humphrey!- Mabel!- STEVE!
0:22:16 > 0:22:19Steve! Driver, let me out of here! Driver! Steve!
0:22:32 > 0:22:33DOOR SLAMS
0:22:33 > 0:22:36- Wow!- Oh, we wanted it done before you saw it.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39The man said it won't shed.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42Timmy chose it after a sundae gave him strength.
0:22:42 > 0:22:46Well, it's the most beautiful tree I've ever seen.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49You're a fine picker-outer!
0:22:49 > 0:22:54- Have you got a spare kiss?- If he hasn't, I have!- Oh, I'm spoken for.
0:22:54 > 0:22:58- How's my baby?- This was to surprise you, but you're early.
0:22:58 > 0:23:03I left some packages at Wanamaker's. I can't go back till I find them.
0:23:03 > 0:23:09- Marie! Were there any calls?- I let her go. We can go out to dinner.
0:23:09 > 0:23:10You're lovely.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16Do it again.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20- See what you do to me?- You're crazy.
0:23:26 > 0:23:30Honey, go and change into your suit for dinner. Go on.
0:23:32 > 0:23:36- Did you tell him about us? - I said you asked me.
0:23:36 > 0:23:42- How did he take it?- You know how children are. Change scares them.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44I remember we moved when I was four.
0:23:44 > 0:23:49Mother threw away loads of junk and I thought she'd throw me away too!
0:23:49 > 0:23:51I'm glad she didn't.
0:23:51 > 0:23:57Honey, when we take the lights down, let's not tie them in knots, huh?
0:23:57 > 0:24:02I don't want to spend an hour next year untangling them, too!
0:24:02 > 0:24:05Have you anything to ask me?
0:24:05 > 0:24:09Anything romantic? I have my new tie on!
0:24:09 > 0:24:14Well, Mr Davies. Long have I admired you from afar...
0:24:14 > 0:24:16BUZZER
0:24:20 > 0:24:25I should have come down the chimney! I looked all over for you.
0:24:25 > 0:24:29It's the last time I ever pick up a girl at Christmas!
0:24:29 > 0:24:32- Let me help with the packages.- Hi.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34How do you do.
0:24:34 > 0:24:38- This is Steve...- Mason.- Uh...uh.
0:24:38 > 0:24:42- Carl Davies.- How do you do. - The man from Wanamaker's?
0:24:42 > 0:24:47- Crowley's. We were shopping...- We got separated. We met at Crowley's.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50- She got me fired.- That's how we met.
0:24:50 > 0:24:55Mr Mason took my packages to the bus and we were split in the crowds.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58It happens in crowds.
0:24:58 > 0:25:03It's warm in here. I called your hotel. They said you weren't there.
0:25:03 > 0:25:09- Where d'you find me?- It wasn't easy. I tried the phone-book.- It's new.
0:25:09 > 0:25:14I had the packages so I rang Fisher and Lewis, but they didn't know you.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17They don't give out information about comparison shoppers.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19They treated me like Jack the Ripper!
0:25:19 > 0:25:24I went to the store and got your number in the payroll department.
0:25:24 > 0:25:25What a day!
0:25:25 > 0:25:30- Dear, I'll get Mr Mason a drink. - Hey, he's got it upstairs.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32I'll get us all one!
0:25:40 > 0:25:43Looks like a white Christmas.
0:25:43 > 0:25:48That's right. Never seems like Christmas unless it is white.
0:25:48 > 0:25:52That's right. Still, there isn't the big snow we had when we were kids.
0:25:52 > 0:25:56That's right. It's just slush now.
0:25:56 > 0:25:57That's right.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02Probably something to do with the atomic bomb.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04Hey, that's right.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09Last year it rained.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12That's right, I remember.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17They need rain in California.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20- Is that so?- I read it in the papers.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23- I'm from California.- Is that so?
0:26:23 > 0:26:25- Never rains.- Is that so?
0:26:27 > 0:26:30I was in California one June.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32Is that so?
0:26:32 > 0:26:34Rained all the time!
0:26:34 > 0:26:37Must have been about ten years ago.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39That's right.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42Very unusual.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44Is that so?
0:26:50 > 0:26:54- Mind if I go on trimming my tree? - No.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56- No, go right ahead.- Thank you.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08Guy?
0:27:08 > 0:27:09Yeah.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12Tim's a lot like him, Connie says.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15Tim's her son.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17I know.
0:27:17 > 0:27:22- She says he has the same habits. - He never knew his father, did he?
0:27:22 > 0:27:26No. Connie talks about him all the time.
0:27:26 > 0:27:30It's wonderful the way she keeps him...sort of alive.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32Is it?
0:27:32 > 0:27:35After all, he's not alive.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38- Here, let me help you, dear. - Thank you, Carl.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40- Mr Mason.- Thank you.
0:27:40 > 0:27:44CONNIE AND CARL: There's nothing like a good...
0:27:44 > 0:27:47BOTH: Here's to a merry...
0:27:47 > 0:27:49Christmas.
0:27:49 > 0:27:50DOOR OPENS
0:27:50 > 0:27:52Oh, here's Timmy.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54Come here, darling.
0:27:54 > 0:27:59- Steve, meet the man of the house. - Hi, Tim. I'm Steve Mason.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02- Hi, Mr Mason.- He looks like you.
0:28:02 > 0:28:06- Do you think?- Sure.- Everyone thinks he's like his father.
0:28:06 > 0:28:10Timmy, I have to ask some questions. It's a rule for grown ups.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13Like how old I am? What grade I'm in?
0:28:13 > 0:28:18- Yes. When you get older you're allowed to be annoying to kids.- OK.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20Um, what do you like best at school?
0:28:20 > 0:28:23The other kids.
0:28:23 > 0:28:27What are you going to get for Christmas?
0:28:27 > 0:28:30Clothes. That's what I always get. Clothes.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33- You can't wear what I'm getting you. - A camera.
0:28:33 > 0:28:37- How did you know? - Cos you asked me if I wanted one.
0:28:37 > 0:28:41- Timmy, that's not nice. - He didn't mean it as it sounded.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44If everything works out as I hope,
0:28:44 > 0:28:47you'll get a lot of things next Christmas you can't guess.
0:28:47 > 0:28:52- Don't get me anything.- Go to your room!- No!- Do what your mother says.
0:28:52 > 0:28:56- You can't make me. - Timmy!- Wait a minute, son.
0:28:56 > 0:29:00I'm not your son. Keep your camera. And keep your hands off my mother!
0:29:00 > 0:29:04Carl! Leave him. Keep your hands off my boy.
0:29:10 > 0:29:11Carl?
0:29:11 > 0:29:14- I'm sorry, Carl. - Good night, Connie.
0:29:14 > 0:29:16Carl?
0:29:22 > 0:29:24Go to bed! You don't get any supper.
0:29:39 > 0:29:41Thanks.
0:29:41 > 0:29:44What happens now? Bread and water for a week?
0:29:44 > 0:29:48I come to return packages and look what happens.
0:29:48 > 0:29:52- It had nothing to do with you. - Oh, it hadn't?
0:29:52 > 0:29:55You didn't tell Carl about me.
0:29:55 > 0:30:00- It wasn't important.- Maybe not telling him made it seem important.
0:30:00 > 0:30:04He went out of his way to say, "Hands off" to me.
0:30:04 > 0:30:07That may be why the kid flared up.
0:30:07 > 0:30:09Oh, I don't think so.
0:30:09 > 0:30:13Fine welcome you got. After the trouble I put you to.
0:30:13 > 0:30:16I wanted to see the Ennises at home.
0:30:16 > 0:30:19You certainly saw them.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22If people would just let us alone...
0:30:22 > 0:30:23I mean...
0:30:25 > 0:30:27I don't know what I mean.
0:30:29 > 0:30:31Goodbye, Connie.
0:30:31 > 0:30:35- I'm not coming back. - What brought that on?
0:30:35 > 0:30:37I think it's save us both a lot of trouble.
0:30:37 > 0:30:39I might fall in love with you.
0:30:39 > 0:30:41It's not impossible.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44I might even ask you to marry me and you'd say no.
0:30:47 > 0:30:50Not that you're not right, but what makes you so sure?
0:30:50 > 0:30:53It's written all over the walls.
0:30:53 > 0:30:58You want everything just so. Status quo. You and Timmy. No changes.
0:30:58 > 0:31:01You've even got HIM wanting it.
0:31:01 > 0:31:03Go on. Don't stop now.
0:31:03 > 0:31:07Connie, look. Don't make him grow up, help him.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09He's a wonderful kid - let him be a kid for a while.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12Stop making him your husband.
0:31:12 > 0:31:17- What do you mean?- You call him the man of the house, Mr Ennis.
0:31:17 > 0:31:22You're upset if someone thinks he isn't like his father.
0:31:22 > 0:31:26You even fool with his hair to make it like the picture.
0:31:26 > 0:31:30Quit hanging on to something you've lost.
0:31:32 > 0:31:35Is that all?
0:31:35 > 0:31:40Take another look in your crystal ball, there must be something else.
0:31:40 > 0:31:44What happened to this girl? Is she ever around?
0:31:44 > 0:31:46You're so sure of everything!
0:31:46 > 0:31:51Half an hour in the park and you're a wise man of the east.
0:31:51 > 0:31:54Except you're wrong. On every point you're wrong.
0:31:54 > 0:31:58- For instance. - That I don't want changes.
0:31:58 > 0:32:01Is that why I'm marrying Carl?
0:32:01 > 0:32:06Could be. If you do marry him, you could have a problem with Tim.
0:32:06 > 0:32:09I won't have a problem with Tim. He loves Carl.
0:32:09 > 0:32:14There's a poem, "Each man kicks the thing he loves."
0:32:14 > 0:32:17- That's not why he kicked him. - He has other reasons?
0:32:17 > 0:32:22No child likes his mother to remarry. It takes time to adjust.
0:32:22 > 0:32:25Of all the people to criticise.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28You'll be 90 before you build a canoe!
0:32:28 > 0:32:33- A while ago you thought it was interesting.- Now, I don't.
0:32:33 > 0:32:37OK, Connie, I'm going. Do you mind if I say goodbye to Tim?
0:32:44 > 0:32:47CLINKS ON GLASS
0:32:47 > 0:32:48Hi, Joey.
0:32:48 > 0:32:52I wish I could come over but I've been sent to bed.
0:32:52 > 0:32:55Bye. I've gotta go.
0:32:56 > 0:32:59- Hello.- Hello, Timmy.
0:32:59 > 0:33:04- Sorry I was so bad in there. - You kicked up quite a fuss.
0:33:04 > 0:33:07- Do you think he's really mad at me? - No.
0:33:07 > 0:33:10When you see him, say you're sorry.
0:33:10 > 0:33:12- He looks like a nice guy.- He is.
0:33:12 > 0:33:16I don't know why I was so mean in there.
0:33:18 > 0:33:21I let 'em swim in the bath every day.
0:33:21 > 0:33:26Once one of them got kidnapped in the vacuum cleaner but I rescued it.
0:33:26 > 0:33:29You ought to get them a hyacinth blossom.
0:33:29 > 0:33:34They like to nibble it. It's like catnip for cats.
0:33:34 > 0:33:39- How do you know?- They had some in a toy department where I once worked.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41How did Mom get you fired?
0:33:41 > 0:33:45That door. I can hear things through it sometimes.
0:33:45 > 0:33:49Especially when you put your ear to it.
0:33:49 > 0:33:54I drilled a hole in my floor when I was a kid so I saw the living-room.
0:33:54 > 0:33:57But how did Mom get you fired?
0:33:57 > 0:34:02Oh, I sold her a train, she brought it back and I didn't do something.
0:34:02 > 0:34:06A little electric train, red and silver with a whistle...
0:34:06 > 0:34:10- You saw it?- Yeah. Don't tell Mom.- I won't.
0:34:10 > 0:34:12I opened the package and took a peek.
0:34:12 > 0:34:16I thought it was for me, but it wasn't.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19Gee! It sure was a swell train.
0:34:19 > 0:34:23- Timmy. You know when you got mad in there?- Uh-huh.
0:34:23 > 0:34:29Well, sometimes when I get mad, I find it's not why I thought.
0:34:29 > 0:34:34- Does that ever happen to you? - I guess we're a lot alike.- We are.
0:34:34 > 0:34:39Anyway, do you think it was the train you were mad about?
0:34:39 > 0:34:41I don't even think about it any more.
0:34:41 > 0:34:44Cos I know I can't have it.
0:34:44 > 0:34:48Look, Timmy. I'll show you something I learned as a kid.
0:34:48 > 0:34:51Here. Hop up.
0:34:51 > 0:34:55Take the ball and try and hit the moon on the blackboard. Aim at it.
0:34:57 > 0:35:00- Oh, heck!- Don't give up. Now, try again.
0:35:00 > 0:35:04This time aim a bit higher than the moon.
0:35:06 > 0:35:08- Hey!- I hit the moon!
0:35:08 > 0:35:10That's the idea.
0:35:10 > 0:35:15Aim higher than your mark and you've more chance of hitting it.
0:35:15 > 0:35:20So if you wish real hard for something, maybe you might get it.
0:35:21 > 0:35:25That's what my teacher said. But I don't know.
0:35:25 > 0:35:29I wished for the train till my stomach hurt.
0:35:29 > 0:35:32But Mom took it back anyway.
0:35:32 > 0:35:36Well, that shouldn't make a big fella like you quit.
0:35:36 > 0:35:38Goodbye, Tim.
0:35:38 > 0:35:41- Have a wonderful Christmas.- Thanks.
0:35:41 > 0:35:45- I'll try and rustle you something up.- Don't worry.
0:35:45 > 0:35:48Mom always gives me supper anyway.
0:36:06 > 0:36:08Merry Christmas.
0:36:27 > 0:36:29- Hello, Carl.- Hi.- Oh, thank you.
0:36:29 > 0:36:33Well, I wish I'd had time to go and get pretty.
0:36:33 > 0:36:38The flowers were lovely, Carl. Thank you. So was the note.
0:36:38 > 0:36:40- Made me feel sought after.- You are.
0:36:40 > 0:36:42Jacques.
0:36:42 > 0:36:45- Do you wish to order now?- No, later.
0:36:45 > 0:36:48- Two martinis. Dry. One with two olives.- Yes, sir.
0:36:48 > 0:36:51I'm sorry about last night, Connie.
0:36:51 > 0:36:55It was all my fault. I should have mentioned Steve.
0:36:55 > 0:36:57That didn't bother me.
0:36:57 > 0:37:01It was that, "Take your hands off my boy."
0:37:01 > 0:37:05- You know I didn't mean that, Carl. - No, I don't know.
0:37:05 > 0:37:07Let me tell you how I feel.
0:37:07 > 0:37:10If we get married - and I hate that "if" -
0:37:10 > 0:37:13Timmy can be one of two things to me.
0:37:13 > 0:37:18He can be your son who lives in our house. And I'd be very nice to him.
0:37:18 > 0:37:22Or he can be OUR son. In that case I'll bawl him out, spoil him,
0:37:22 > 0:37:24discipline him, worry about him
0:37:24 > 0:37:26and love him.
0:37:27 > 0:37:31If we do get married, he'll be our son.
0:37:31 > 0:37:32Thank you.
0:37:32 > 0:37:35- He called me up today.- Timmy?- Mm-hm.
0:37:35 > 0:37:41Marie dialled for him! He said he was sorry and other nice things.
0:37:41 > 0:37:46- He kept me on the phone while he blew his nose!- I'm glad he called.
0:37:46 > 0:37:48Thank you.
0:37:51 > 0:37:54Why don't you marry me, Carl? New Year's Day.
0:37:54 > 0:37:59I'm not kidding. We'll start the year off right.
0:37:59 > 0:38:02- Are you playing hard to get?- No.
0:38:02 > 0:38:04What made this switch?
0:38:06 > 0:38:08I don't want uncertainty any more.
0:38:08 > 0:38:14Besides, as I was saying yesterday, long have I admired you from afar.
0:38:14 > 0:38:17It's going to be a wonderful evening.
0:38:17 > 0:38:21We'll have dinner and then see Moss Hart's new show.
0:38:21 > 0:38:26We'll go home, make sure Timmy's asleep, then sit down and neck.
0:38:26 > 0:38:30- Is that what married people do? - Hmm. Then...
0:38:37 > 0:38:39MERRY CHRISTMAS!
0:38:39 > 0:38:44MERRY CHRISTMAS! Mom! Mom! Thank you! Thank you!
0:38:44 > 0:38:47- For which present? - You sure did fool me.
0:38:50 > 0:38:55- Baby!- You told me I wouldn't get anything wonderful for Christmas.
0:38:55 > 0:38:58But when I saw it outside the door!
0:38:58 > 0:38:59Mom! Mom!
0:38:59 > 0:39:04You told me to get the milk from the hall if I woke early.
0:39:04 > 0:39:07You KNEW I would at Christmas.
0:39:07 > 0:39:12- Hey!- Let's see. I've got to see what's going on around here.
0:39:12 > 0:39:15- Look! I already opened it!- What?!
0:39:15 > 0:39:18Mom! Mom, I love it!
0:39:18 > 0:39:20Ooh! I love you!
0:39:20 > 0:39:22I'm sure glad of that.
0:39:22 > 0:39:28These go together, the cars light up and it says Red Rocket Express.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31It's a wonderful train, sweetheart.
0:39:31 > 0:39:36The doors open. You put a note in but I can't read big words.
0:39:38 > 0:39:43"Timmy, this whistled as I passed. It said it wants you for Christmas."
0:39:43 > 0:39:47- It's signed Santa. I guess it's from Santa.- Mom!
0:39:47 > 0:39:50I've got a surprise for you too.
0:39:51 > 0:39:56- Look! I fixed it up myself.- I was looking for that stocking all week!
0:39:56 > 0:39:58- I had it hid away.- Character!
0:39:58 > 0:40:01- Christmas gift!- Oh, Tim.
0:40:01 > 0:40:03- Open it.- Give me a chance.
0:40:03 > 0:40:07It's perfume. Not toilet water, real perfume.
0:40:07 > 0:40:09I know, I can see. Look!
0:40:09 > 0:40:12I saved up for it all myself.
0:40:12 > 0:40:17I told the store-lady it was for you so she wouldn't think I was a girl!
0:40:17 > 0:40:21- I'll have to give you a kiss now. - No. Don't need it.
0:40:21 > 0:40:26- You'll get one anyway!- I fooled you. You fooled me and I fooled you.
0:40:26 > 0:40:30- Sure did.- But how did you know I wanted the train so bad?
0:40:30 > 0:40:34- I didn't tell anyone except Mr Mason. - Mr Mason?
0:40:34 > 0:40:36He said he wouldn't tell you.
0:40:36 > 0:40:41I know, I didn't get the ribbon back on right, so you knew I'd peeked.
0:40:41 > 0:40:43- You know everything.- You peeked?
0:40:43 > 0:40:46I thought the one from the store was for me.
0:40:46 > 0:40:51- And then I said it wasn't. - And then I cried.
0:40:51 > 0:40:55I'm so happy. If I was a dog my tail would be wagging.
0:40:56 > 0:40:59Tim, I've got to tell you about that train.
0:40:59 > 0:41:01PHONE RINGS
0:41:01 > 0:41:04I wonder who that is? I'll be right back.
0:41:05 > 0:41:08Merry Christmas, darling.
0:41:08 > 0:41:10Did I wake you up?
0:41:12 > 0:41:17I couldn't sleep. I don't know any reason why you should!
0:41:17 > 0:41:20Well, I'm a little upset.
0:41:20 > 0:41:23A present came for Tim - an electric train.
0:41:23 > 0:41:28I'm sure it's from Steve Mason. Only he knew Tim wanted it.
0:41:28 > 0:41:30I've no idea why he did it.
0:41:30 > 0:41:33Simple enough! He moves in on Tim,
0:41:33 > 0:41:37makes my camera look like the head of a pin and makes a play for you.
0:41:37 > 0:41:42I don't care about his motives, I want to know what to do about it.
0:41:42 > 0:41:47I can't return it. Tim's delirious. But it's too expensive to accept.
0:41:47 > 0:41:50Well, let's give him his money back.
0:41:50 > 0:41:52I can't let you do that, Carl.
0:41:52 > 0:41:57Look, I'll work it out. I'm upset now. I'll call you later.
0:41:57 > 0:41:58OK.
0:41:58 > 0:42:00HE BLOWS KISS
0:42:00 > 0:42:02Bye.
0:42:11 > 0:42:13Timmy!
0:42:13 > 0:42:15- I'm in the kitchen, Mom.- Oh.
0:42:15 > 0:42:20- I'm setting the table so you won't have to.- Thank you, sweetheart.
0:42:20 > 0:42:25- I'm going to take better care of my stuff now. And wash more.- Wonderful!
0:42:25 > 0:42:31- You know the cup the mouse broke? - Mm-hm.- Well, he didn't.- Mm-hm!
0:42:31 > 0:42:33I didn't think he did.
0:42:33 > 0:42:37Mom? If the train cost so much,
0:42:37 > 0:42:41couldn't we take my other presents and get the money back?
0:42:42 > 0:42:45I didn't get you that train, Timmy.
0:42:45 > 0:42:47Well, who did?
0:42:47 > 0:42:52- Mr Mason. The man who was here the other day.- Mr Mason?- Mm-hm.
0:42:52 > 0:42:56- Gee! He must be awfully rich! - No, he's not.
0:42:56 > 0:43:00- Well, I only met him once. - I know you did.
0:43:00 > 0:43:03He must have liked you an awful lot.
0:43:03 > 0:43:07It's the nicest thing anyone did for me. Except you, I mean.
0:43:07 > 0:43:10Oh, I'm everyday. This was special.
0:43:10 > 0:43:14- I'll have to thank him. - I can do that for you.
0:43:14 > 0:43:19It's early - he'll be at the hotel. I have things to say to Mr Mason.
0:43:19 > 0:43:23- I'll go with you. - No. Grandma and Grandpa are coming.
0:43:23 > 0:43:27They want to see you open your presents.
0:43:27 > 0:43:30Ask Mr Mason if he can come and eat with us.
0:43:30 > 0:43:33Maybe he'll help set up the trains.
0:43:33 > 0:43:37I can't. There's Grandma, Grandpa and Carl.
0:43:37 > 0:43:42Why don't you eat with your spoon? It might be a big help.
0:43:42 > 0:43:46- You've been nice to Carl these last few days.- Sure.
0:43:50 > 0:43:55Hey! If Mr Mason can't eat with us, maybe he can come over anyway.
0:43:55 > 0:43:58Well, I'll see what he says. I'll ask him.
0:43:58 > 0:44:01We'll have to have a present for him.
0:44:01 > 0:44:06- All the stores are closed! - There are nice ones under the tree.
0:44:06 > 0:44:08Timmy, those are for Carl!
0:44:08 > 0:44:12Anyway, the wallet has his initials...and the keyring.
0:44:12 > 0:44:16- The necktie doesn't. - Timmy! We couldn't do that.
0:44:16 > 0:44:18Oh... We'll talk about it later.
0:44:18 > 0:44:20Go on. Eat your cornflakes.
0:44:20 > 0:44:23With your spoon!
0:44:24 > 0:44:28- Mr Mason, please.- Steve? - That's right.
0:44:28 > 0:44:32- He's not here. He checked out. - He did? When?
0:44:32 > 0:44:36- Over an hour ago.- Did he leave a forwarding address?- No.
0:44:36 > 0:44:37He didn't say anything?
0:44:37 > 0:44:42- No, he left with a big Christmas package.- I know about that!
0:44:42 > 0:44:47He's a funny fella. I invited him for a coffee and he said, "No, thanks."
0:44:47 > 0:44:53He said he was having breakfast with a man who wouldn't run the bank.
0:44:53 > 0:44:57- Maybe you'll figure it out, lady! - I think I can. Thank you.
0:44:59 > 0:45:01DOG BARKS
0:45:07 > 0:45:12- Well, what brings YOU here? - What brings you HERE?
0:45:12 > 0:45:18- Can this be coincidence?- No, I went to the hotel. I knew you'd be here.
0:45:18 > 0:45:22What did you wish to see me about? Step into the office.
0:45:22 > 0:45:24Breakfast?
0:45:24 > 0:45:28Oh, no, thanks. I've eaten. Who's your friend?
0:45:28 > 0:45:32It's an orphan. I'm all it has in the world.
0:45:34 > 0:45:38- Steve, why did you get Timmy the train?- I wanted to.
0:45:38 > 0:45:43You can't afford it. It was sweet, but I can't let you.
0:45:43 > 0:45:46I'll pay it back - some now, the rest tomorrow.
0:45:46 > 0:45:49Sorry! The train is between my friend and me.
0:45:49 > 0:45:51- Steve, really...- Sorry!
0:45:53 > 0:45:59- We made a list of what Timmy wanted. He didn't say a train.- I know.
0:45:59 > 0:46:01I made lists when I was a kid too.
0:46:01 > 0:46:06It took me 20 years to get over the habit. I'm trying to save Tim time.
0:46:06 > 0:46:10He shouldn't feel he'll always get what he wants.
0:46:10 > 0:46:13No. But now and then. So he knows it CAN happen.
0:46:13 > 0:46:18Besides, a train seemed right. It's exciting, taking you to new places.
0:46:18 > 0:46:23For a kid who's been told there's no surprises, it seemed a great idea.
0:46:24 > 0:46:27Well, he's just crazy about it.
0:46:27 > 0:46:31About you too. He got you a present. Merry Christmas.
0:46:31 > 0:46:35- No?- Mm-hm. I said I'd thank you for him.
0:46:35 > 0:46:41- He said the train was one of the nicest things he's had.- Really?
0:46:41 > 0:46:45And how was he supposed to know I like noisy neckties?
0:46:46 > 0:46:48- Hey, Mac.- Yeah?
0:46:48 > 0:46:51- You want a tie?- Sure.
0:46:52 > 0:46:56- Thanks, mister. Christmas is here after all.- And many of 'em.
0:46:56 > 0:47:01- Looks like you made a couple of people happy.- I can't wear two ties.
0:47:01 > 0:47:04- And one person unhappy.- Who's that?
0:47:04 > 0:47:09Carl. You made trouble for me with that train.
0:47:09 > 0:47:13- He suspects your motives. - So would I, if I were in his shoes.
0:47:13 > 0:47:16I'm marrying Carl. New Year's Day.
0:47:19 > 0:47:22Good for you. Looks like a nice guy.
0:47:22 > 0:47:24Oh, he is.
0:47:24 > 0:47:28Carl and I are old friends. I know where I stand.
0:47:28 > 0:47:32He's safe and secure. I feel awfully good about it.
0:47:32 > 0:47:37You ought to switch jobs. Quit buying and start selling.
0:47:37 > 0:47:40You're great at selling yourself a bill of goods.
0:47:40 > 0:47:43- Look...- You married a man you were in love with once.
0:47:43 > 0:47:47You know it's impossible to be safe and secure when you're in love.
0:47:47 > 0:47:50What are you trying to do? Crawl into a cave
0:47:50 > 0:47:52to hide from what stirs you up?
0:47:52 > 0:47:57- If I want to.- Neat if you can get away with it. I don't think you can.
0:47:57 > 0:48:01Life will crawl in with you and kick your teeth out.
0:48:01 > 0:48:04- I'll manage.- You've got to take everything that's coming to you.
0:48:04 > 0:48:06All the surprises - good and bad.
0:48:06 > 0:48:08I can't afford surprises.
0:48:08 > 0:48:13Every surprise isn't a telegram from the War Department, you know.
0:48:15 > 0:48:20- I should have known it was wrong to see you again.- So why come?
0:48:20 > 0:48:22To give you the money for the train.
0:48:22 > 0:48:26You could have sent it with a three-cent stamp.
0:48:26 > 0:48:29- Steve, I came because...- Mister!
0:48:29 > 0:48:34- Are you the man who gave a man a necktie?- That's right.
0:48:34 > 0:48:37He said it was nice to get a Christmas present
0:48:37 > 0:48:42and he wants to give you one back. It's what he said.
0:48:42 > 0:48:45- Where did he go?- To Brooklyn.
0:48:45 > 0:48:50- Thank you. Shouldn't they be ice-skates?- I didn't get ice-skates.
0:48:50 > 0:48:54Cathy! Look what I got - roller-skates!
0:48:54 > 0:48:57Where do you suppose he got this?
0:48:57 > 0:49:02Maybe he's an eccentric millionaire. Not everyone like that is a hobo.
0:49:02 > 0:49:06Like everyone who gives kids 80 trains isn't a millionaire!
0:49:06 > 0:49:11Just what I needed - salt and pepper shakers! I've lived like a pig.
0:49:11 > 0:49:15Steve, why did you check out of your hotel?
0:49:15 > 0:49:19I wanted a cheaper place for the couple of weeks I'm here.
0:49:19 > 0:49:24- You're going?- California. I'll work in the boatyard to keep buying in.
0:49:24 > 0:49:28- I'm just here until I earn a train fare. Don't worry.- I'm not worried.
0:49:28 > 0:49:31OK, Carl can stop worrying!
0:49:31 > 0:49:35Since I won't see you again, will you not be annoying?
0:49:35 > 0:49:37Sure. Goodbye, Connie.
0:49:39 > 0:49:42Have a nice quiet life.
0:49:51 > 0:49:53TRAIN WHISTLES
0:49:53 > 0:49:56- Mother!- Connie!- Merry Christmas!
0:49:56 > 0:49:59Hello, darling. Happy Christmas.
0:49:59 > 0:50:02- Merry Christmas to you. - Thank you, darling.- Oh, boy!
0:50:02 > 0:50:06Connie, he looks wonderful. He's grown at least two inches!
0:50:06 > 0:50:07Easily!
0:50:07 > 0:50:10He looks more like Guy every time I see him.
0:50:10 > 0:50:13- Father, remember how Guy... - Now, Mother!
0:50:13 > 0:50:16It's good to see you! It's been so long!
0:50:16 > 0:50:22We have your whole Christmas dinner. The turkey will last all week!
0:50:22 > 0:50:28Mother's going to cook it. I'll serve it and you won't do a thing!
0:50:28 > 0:50:32Look at the catcher mitt Grandma and Grandpa brought me.
0:50:32 > 0:50:34And the baseball and the bat.
0:50:34 > 0:50:37- And the slippers!- Isn't that nice?
0:50:37 > 0:50:39Oh! He slipped!
0:50:39 > 0:50:41Did Mr Mason like his present?
0:50:41 > 0:50:42Mm-hm.
0:50:42 > 0:50:47Ah, yes. We're looking forward to meeting your man at dinner today.
0:50:47 > 0:50:51- My man?- Timmy told us. We're so happy for you.
0:50:51 > 0:50:54How nice to buy him that wonderful train.
0:50:54 > 0:50:59I'm not marrying Mr Mason. Timmy, you know very well I'm not.
0:50:59 > 0:51:01I didn't say WHO you were marrying.
0:51:01 > 0:51:04He keeps talking about Mr Mason.
0:51:04 > 0:51:07You rushed out Christmas morning...
0:51:07 > 0:51:11It's Carl I'm marrying. You remember Carl Davies?
0:51:11 > 0:51:14- Carl?!- Why, yes.
0:51:14 > 0:51:18Well, that's just fine. Don't you think so, Father?
0:51:18 > 0:51:20Yes, fine.
0:51:20 > 0:51:24- He called up. Carl.- What did he say?
0:51:24 > 0:51:28He asked where you were. I said you went to Mr Mason's hotel.
0:51:28 > 0:51:31Swell! Then what did he say?
0:51:31 > 0:51:33Said he'd be right over.
0:51:33 > 0:51:34BUZZER See?
0:51:38 > 0:51:42- Merry Christmas!- Merry Christmas. - For dinner.
0:51:42 > 0:51:46- Mr and Mrs Ennis. - Good to see you again, Carl.
0:51:46 > 0:51:49Connie's told us the news. we're so very pleased.
0:51:49 > 0:51:51She talked me into it.
0:51:51 > 0:51:54TIM: Look at the train Mr Mason bought me!
0:51:54 > 0:51:56So you saw Mason at his hotel?
0:51:56 > 0:51:59Not at the hotel, we talked in the park.
0:51:59 > 0:52:02- The park?- We talked in Central Park.
0:52:02 > 0:52:04He eats there.
0:52:04 > 0:52:06With the seals.
0:52:07 > 0:52:10Did he say why he gave Timmy the train?
0:52:10 > 0:52:13He said it was because he wanted to.
0:52:13 > 0:52:17- I went to give him money back. It was your idea.- Did you?
0:52:17 > 0:52:20He wouldn't take it.
0:52:20 > 0:52:26- It's so expensive. If he hardly knows you, it seems odd.- Doesn't it?
0:52:26 > 0:52:30It's the kind of fellow he is. It's not odd at all.
0:52:30 > 0:52:32Why are you upset, dear?
0:52:32 > 0:52:35Why didn't you ask Mr Mason over?
0:52:35 > 0:52:41- Yes, why didn't you?- Look, I can't explain it any more than I have.
0:52:41 > 0:52:44If it bothers you, it can stop bothering you.
0:52:44 > 0:52:46He's leaving town anyway.
0:52:46 > 0:52:49- He's going away to build boats. - Going away?- Boats?
0:52:49 > 0:52:51Yes, those things on water!
0:52:51 > 0:52:56I'm never going to see him again, so let's just have a nice Christmas.
0:52:56 > 0:52:58BUZZER
0:53:07 > 0:53:09Mr Mason?
0:53:09 > 0:53:11No, Johnstone. Police department.
0:53:11 > 0:53:13Police?
0:53:13 > 0:53:15I'm looking for Mrs Ennis.
0:53:15 > 0:53:17BOTH: I'm Mrs Ennis.
0:53:17 > 0:53:21The Mrs Ennis who was in the park, if she was?
0:53:21 > 0:53:24- That's me.- You know a Steve Mason?
0:53:24 > 0:53:26Did something happen to him?
0:53:26 > 0:53:30He's at the precinct, in trouble. He says you can help.
0:53:30 > 0:53:31What kind of trouble?
0:53:31 > 0:53:37- I can't say. But we'll be glad to listen to you.- Get your coat, dear.
0:53:37 > 0:53:40- I'm coming!- I don't think you should.
0:53:40 > 0:53:44- He's my friend.- All right. Hurry.
0:53:44 > 0:53:47And shortly before 9am in Central Park,
0:53:47 > 0:53:52a Mr Mervyn Fisher was hit on the head, tied up with a necktie,
0:53:52 > 0:53:55and robbed of a wallet containing 120
0:53:55 > 0:53:59and a pair of silver salt and pepper shakers -
0:53:59 > 0:54:02a present for his aunt in Flushing.
0:54:02 > 0:54:07Later, Officer McLeary saw Mr Mason loitering suspiciously.
0:54:07 > 0:54:10He admits he is unemployed, homeless,
0:54:10 > 0:54:14leaving town and that the necktie belonged to him.
0:54:14 > 0:54:17The salt and pepper shakers were found on his person.
0:54:22 > 0:54:24I'm sorry. I just thought it would be much worse.
0:54:24 > 0:54:28You suspected he was involved in serious crime?
0:54:28 > 0:54:32- Oh, no. Nothing like that. - Connie! Lieutenant,
0:54:32 > 0:54:36- I'm a lawyer. - If I need one, I'll send for you.
0:54:36 > 0:54:39If I need a comical cop, I'll call you.
0:54:39 > 0:54:42I'm defending this man - with his permission.
0:54:42 > 0:54:45With gratitude but probably no fee!
0:54:45 > 0:54:50- Why isn't Fisher identifying the suspect?- He didn't see who hit him.
0:54:50 > 0:54:52And he had to get to his aunt's.
0:54:52 > 0:54:55Was Mr Mason searched for the stolen money?
0:54:55 > 0:55:01- Searched? They looked four times in my ears!- You like that cell, bud?
0:55:01 > 0:55:02Sorry, no more jokes!
0:55:02 > 0:55:07- No, he didn't have the money. Just 7.52.- Well, then?
0:55:07 > 0:55:10Well, what? You can dump money.
0:55:10 > 0:55:15- I haven't enough men to search. - I think I can clear this up.
0:55:17 > 0:55:22Go ahead, ma'am. If Clarence Darrow here hasn't any objections(!)
0:55:22 > 0:55:25You've no idea how interested I am!
0:55:25 > 0:55:27I was with Mr Mason in the park.
0:55:27 > 0:55:33He gave his necktie to a man he thought was a hobo as a present.
0:55:33 > 0:55:39A minute later, a girl on roller skates with a balloon on her head
0:55:39 > 0:55:43brought a present from the hobo - salt and pepper shakers.
0:55:43 > 0:55:46A little girl on roller skates
0:55:46 > 0:55:48with a balloon on her head!
0:55:48 > 0:55:52Has a complaint been lodged against Mr Mason?
0:55:52 > 0:55:58- What's he got to do with it anyway? - He's my lawyer.- And my fiance.
0:55:58 > 0:56:01Oh, I see. He's your fiance.
0:56:01 > 0:56:05- You're marrying the counsellor here? - That's right.
0:56:05 > 0:56:09And why were you with this guy on Christmas morning?
0:56:09 > 0:56:12I don't see what this has to do with the case.
0:56:12 > 0:56:14Oh? You don't?
0:56:14 > 0:56:19- No.- Well, I wanted to see him and he was in the park.
0:56:19 > 0:56:22He eats there with the seals.
0:56:26 > 0:56:30You see, this morning a train came, an electric one,
0:56:30 > 0:56:33for my boy, Timmy, from Mr Mason.
0:56:34 > 0:56:36The guy's without a job, broke,
0:56:36 > 0:56:41without a bed to sleep in and he buys a kid an electric train.
0:56:41 > 0:56:43Why?
0:56:43 > 0:56:48It's Christmas. I wanted to give a present and didn't know anyone else.
0:56:48 > 0:56:52Is that why you gave a hobo your tie?
0:56:52 > 0:56:57I'd just given him a tie - the one he's wearing. Because his present...
0:56:57 > 0:57:00Where did you buy a tie, 8am, Christmas morning?
0:57:00 > 0:57:05She had the tie under the tree. It was a present she had for him.
0:57:14 > 0:57:17The relationships here are nothing to do with the case.
0:57:17 > 0:57:20You have nothing but circumstantial evidence.
0:57:20 > 0:57:25I dunno. Why did he hide behind the rock when he saw the policeman?
0:57:25 > 0:57:29- I wasn't hiding. - What were you doing?
0:57:29 > 0:57:31He'll never believe this.
0:57:31 > 0:57:33Oh, I might.
0:57:33 > 0:57:36Go ahead. Try me.
0:57:36 > 0:57:39I was feeding a squirrel.
0:57:39 > 0:57:42He's an orphan. He depends on me.
0:57:47 > 0:57:49The guy is without a job,
0:57:49 > 0:57:52gives Christmas presents to a tramp,
0:57:52 > 0:57:54gets presents
0:57:54 > 0:57:58from a girl with a balloon on her head,
0:57:58 > 0:58:00eats in the park with the seals,
0:58:00 > 0:58:04is the mother and father to an orphan squirrel.
0:58:06 > 0:58:09You don't think this guy is a suspicious character?
0:58:09 > 0:58:12Everything is true. Don't you believe us?
0:58:12 > 0:58:17Sure. Everything you said is what he said before you got here.
0:58:17 > 0:58:22I'm just saying maybe he shouldn't be allowed out without a keeper!
0:58:22 > 0:58:28- Can he go free?- I'd have to let him if he weren't skipping town.
0:58:28 > 0:58:32I'm not. I have a room. 137 Christopher Street.
0:58:32 > 0:58:34Changed your mind, huh?
0:58:34 > 0:58:36Going to stick around for a while?
0:58:36 > 0:58:39Just till I earn the fare to California.
0:58:39 > 0:58:43- I've got a job there. - Why not touch him for it?
0:58:43 > 0:58:48I bet he'd be glad to get your ticket to California, or the moon!
0:58:48 > 0:58:50- Now, look here... - LIEUTENANT: Case dismissed.
0:58:50 > 0:58:52- Thank you.- And Merry Christmas.
0:58:58 > 0:59:02It only LOOKED like I was sending you to the chair!
0:59:02 > 0:59:05I didn't think you were - for long!
0:59:05 > 0:59:10Not entirely for the lieutenant's reasons but...let me pay your fare.
0:59:10 > 0:59:16- What if you don't get a job?- Nobody hires much now.- It's just a loan.
0:59:16 > 0:59:21Thanks, but I want to break the - pardon the phrase - tie that binds!
0:59:21 > 0:59:26- Mum, why can't Steve have Christmas dinner with us?- I don't...
0:59:26 > 0:59:29He must have plans of his own.
0:59:29 > 0:59:34No, he doesn't. He doesn't know anyone but us. He said so in there.
0:59:34 > 0:59:39It's expensive in a restaurant and we have a big turkey...
0:59:39 > 0:59:44- I'd love to, but I really can't. - Oh, Mom. Come on, Steve. Please!
0:59:44 > 0:59:48I like it so much I can't take it off.
0:59:48 > 0:59:50I may pick all your clothes now!
0:59:50 > 0:59:53TIM: Kiss Grandma, Grandpa! Hold it!
0:59:53 > 0:59:55Now take me!
0:59:55 > 0:59:57How about seconds?
0:59:57 > 0:59:59Remember, I'm the waiter here.
0:59:59 > 1:00:01Then WAIT!
1:00:01 > 1:00:03I made a joke!
1:00:03 > 1:00:05TIM: I want a drumstick.
1:00:05 > 1:00:09- How many legs does a turkey have? - It should have four like a horse!
1:00:09 > 1:00:11I'll take it up with the Audubon Society.
1:00:11 > 1:00:14- I think I'll open another bottle of wine.- Yes.
1:00:18 > 1:00:21Mother, will you please finish your dinner?
1:00:21 > 1:00:23All right!
1:00:23 > 1:00:27And don't be moody. Holidays, she always gets moody.
1:00:27 > 1:00:29One remembers more on holiday.
1:00:29 > 1:00:32The little, funny things.
1:00:32 > 1:00:36- Anything will start you off. - Like Mr Mason's necktie!
1:00:36 > 1:00:38Forgive me, but it is loud!
1:00:38 > 1:00:41It's like those Connie gave Guy.
1:00:41 > 1:00:46She said, "It's a symbol of our wild and fiery love."
1:00:46 > 1:00:48Mom gave Steve that one.
1:00:52 > 1:00:55Oh, Father, you've had four already.
1:00:55 > 1:00:58What you don't count won't hurt you!
1:00:58 > 1:01:00Besides, I need strength for a speech.
1:01:00 > 1:01:03TIM: Yay!
1:01:03 > 1:01:06Mother, I've been married to you 35 years.
1:01:06 > 1:01:09You boss me, heckle me,
1:01:09 > 1:01:12hide things and pretend I lost them.
1:01:12 > 1:01:14Just so I depend on you.
1:01:14 > 1:01:16You've spent 36 years
1:01:16 > 1:01:21trying to make me admit I couldn't get on without you.
1:01:21 > 1:01:24And you're right. I couldn't.
1:01:24 > 1:01:26What's more, I wouldn't want to.
1:01:26 > 1:01:28Every one of those years was good.
1:01:28 > 1:01:33Even the bad ones, because you were with me.
1:01:33 > 1:01:37And so I drink to your health, and the wonderful years to come.
1:01:39 > 1:01:44Carl, just be as happy with Connie as I've been with Mother. That's all.
1:01:46 > 1:01:51That's not all, at all. This is the happiest Christmas of my life.
1:01:51 > 1:01:55I never had a family and today I know what I missed.
1:01:55 > 1:02:01But I'll never have to miss it again. From now I have a wife, son -
1:02:01 > 1:02:05and if Connie will share them - a mother-in-law and a father-in-law.
1:02:07 > 1:02:12Connie, I've loved you for a long time
1:02:12 > 1:02:15and I've waited for you a long time.
1:02:15 > 1:02:16But it was worth it.
1:02:20 > 1:02:23Steve, we wish you luck in California.
1:02:23 > 1:02:28And we're glad you're not alone at Christmas, but with us.
1:02:28 > 1:02:29Thank you.
1:02:29 > 1:02:31Very nice.
1:02:31 > 1:02:34- TIM: Steve's turn! - I pass. I'm too full.
1:02:34 > 1:02:37- Come on.- Go ahead, Steve.
1:02:37 > 1:02:42Well, you've been very kind, taken me in and given me a great dinner.
1:02:42 > 1:02:46And there's really nothing to say - after dessert, of course -
1:02:46 > 1:02:49except thank you and goodbye!
1:02:49 > 1:02:52That's all I was going to say but...
1:02:52 > 1:02:54you asked for it.
1:02:54 > 1:02:59Connie, I think Carl is one of the nicest fellows I could hope to meet.
1:03:03 > 1:03:05But I think you ought to marry me.
1:03:07 > 1:03:11Father, we'll go and get coffee and dessert.
1:03:11 > 1:03:13I don't think anyone wants it now.
1:03:13 > 1:03:18Maybe you think it's wrong to say this in front of Timmy.
1:03:18 > 1:03:23But I don't see the harm in knowing that two men like his mother.
1:03:23 > 1:03:27Maybe it's bad taste to say it to Carl,
1:03:27 > 1:03:30but is it better to sneak around?
1:03:30 > 1:03:32I don't think so.
1:03:32 > 1:03:36If it's biting the hand that fed me, look at my problem.
1:03:36 > 1:03:40I've walked out of Connie's life a few times
1:03:40 > 1:03:42and each time I'm brought back.
1:03:42 > 1:03:45Lost packages, train, cop.
1:03:45 > 1:03:47Accidents.
1:03:47 > 1:03:50I can't keep counting on accidents.
1:03:50 > 1:03:52If I leave now, I'm sunk.
1:03:52 > 1:03:55I'll never see her again.
1:03:55 > 1:03:58The way I see it, when a man loves a girl,
1:03:58 > 1:04:00he's got a right to ask her to marry him.
1:04:00 > 1:04:03Any girl. Anybody's girl.
1:04:08 > 1:04:10What do you say, Connie?
1:04:16 > 1:04:19You'd better get your hat and coat.
1:04:21 > 1:04:23It's a fair answer to a fair question.
1:04:23 > 1:04:26I wish you a very Merry Christmas.
1:04:31 > 1:04:34MINGLING VOICES
1:04:45 > 1:04:48Where do I go to get my money back?
1:04:48 > 1:04:51Toys, third floor. Are you alone?
1:04:51 > 1:04:53No, someone's in the elevator.
1:04:55 > 1:04:57WOMAN'S VOICE: Third floor.
1:04:57 > 1:05:00Let me out!
1:05:07 > 1:05:11Wait a minute! Somebody broke my train.
1:05:11 > 1:05:13Hey!
1:05:19 > 1:05:21Little man?
1:05:21 > 1:05:22What have we here?
1:05:22 > 1:05:25I got two trains for Christmas.
1:05:25 > 1:05:28My mom got me one and my friend got that one.
1:05:28 > 1:05:31May I have the money to give back?
1:05:31 > 1:05:33It's broken.
1:05:33 > 1:05:35It's just a little broke.
1:05:35 > 1:05:39It got broke in the elevator. I didn't do it. Honest!
1:05:39 > 1:05:41Where's your mother?
1:05:41 > 1:05:44- My mother?- You're not alone, are you?
1:05:44 > 1:05:47- No, she's here.- Where?
1:05:47 > 1:05:50She's... She's in the bathroom.
1:05:55 > 1:05:58Imagine her nerve!
1:05:58 > 1:06:02So I said, "Madam, see Mr Crowley. He owns the store.
1:06:02 > 1:06:06"Show him your broken lamp and he's sure to give your money back."
1:06:06 > 1:06:08I'll bet you told her.
1:06:10 > 1:06:11Where's Mr Crowley's office?
1:06:11 > 1:06:13Eighth floor, sonny.
1:06:18 > 1:06:21Where's Mr Crowley's office?
1:06:21 > 1:06:24- The secretary behind the partition. - Thank you.
1:06:26 > 1:06:28Yes, I see.
1:06:28 > 1:06:32Mr Crowley can't be disturbed. Try tomorrow morning.
1:06:34 > 1:06:36Well, hello.
1:06:36 > 1:06:39What is it, son?
1:06:39 > 1:06:42I got to see Mr Crowley. Please!
1:06:42 > 1:06:45Mr Crowley? Are you alone?
1:06:45 > 1:06:46Yes, ma'am.
1:06:46 > 1:06:48What's your name?
1:06:48 > 1:06:50Timothy Ennis.
1:06:50 > 1:06:53Well, what's the trouble?
1:06:53 > 1:06:55I got two trains for Christmas.
1:06:55 > 1:06:58So will Mr Crowley give my money back, please!
1:06:58 > 1:07:01Well, I don't know.
1:07:01 > 1:07:04He's the only man who can help me.
1:07:04 > 1:07:06Please can I see him?
1:07:07 > 1:07:08Well...
1:07:08 > 1:07:12Come along with me and we'll see what we can do.
1:07:12 > 1:07:16Sit right here, Timmy. And don't run away.
1:07:16 > 1:07:20And I think I can get Mr Crowley to see you.
1:07:20 > 1:07:23Don't call my mother or a policeman.
1:07:23 > 1:07:26I won't call your mother OR a policeman.
1:07:26 > 1:07:28OK. Thank you.
1:07:32 > 1:07:35GENTLE MUSIC PLAYS
1:07:37 > 1:07:40Emily! This is the meditation hour!
1:07:40 > 1:07:42I'm sorry to disturb you,
1:07:42 > 1:07:47but one of our customers, a Mr Ennis, is outside asking to see you.
1:07:47 > 1:07:49You know I don't see the customers.
1:07:49 > 1:07:52- You'll want to see this one.- Why?
1:07:52 > 1:07:55Because Mr Ennis is roughly six years old.
1:07:55 > 1:07:59- Six?- And seems to be in an awful lot of trouble.
1:07:59 > 1:08:03- Is he alone?- The alonest little fellow I ever saw!
1:08:04 > 1:08:08Emily, don't keep the customer waiting.
1:08:16 > 1:08:17Timmy?
1:08:20 > 1:08:23Mr Crowley,
1:08:23 > 1:08:25this is Mr Timothy Ennis.
1:08:25 > 1:08:28I'm at your service, Timothy.
1:08:30 > 1:08:33Won't you come a little closer?
1:08:36 > 1:08:38So you have our Red Rocket Express.
1:08:38 > 1:08:41I hope it wasn't unsatisfactory.
1:08:41 > 1:08:45I... I... I got two trains for Christmas.
1:08:45 > 1:08:50My mom bought me one train and my friend bought me this one.
1:08:50 > 1:08:52Please, can I have the money back?
1:08:52 > 1:08:57Timothy, this is a little unusual. We'll look into it.
1:08:57 > 1:09:00It got broke in the elevator.
1:09:00 > 1:09:02- I didn't do it! Honest!- I see.
1:09:02 > 1:09:07- You got two trains for Christmas? - No, I'll tell you the truth.
1:09:07 > 1:09:12I only got this one train for Christmas. Steve got it for me.
1:09:12 > 1:09:15He's my friend and he's real poor.
1:09:15 > 1:09:18And he hasn't got a job.
1:09:18 > 1:09:23And he shouldn't have spent his money. I want to give it back to him.
1:09:23 > 1:09:28- And the lady said you could help me. - Now, now, now. Take it easy.
1:09:28 > 1:09:32It's not as bad as that. Now, come on. Stop crying.
1:09:32 > 1:09:37Now, Timmy, suppose you tell me the story from the beginning.
1:09:38 > 1:09:42Well, it all started with my mother.
1:09:42 > 1:09:44Her name is Mrs Ennis.
1:09:44 > 1:09:50And she works for Fisher and Lewis. She's a comparison shopper.
1:09:50 > 1:09:52And she bought a train here...
1:09:54 > 1:09:58Yes. Yes, officer. He's been missing most of the afternoon.
1:09:58 > 1:10:01He's never done this before. I don't understand.
1:10:01 > 1:10:05We've covered every block within a mile.
1:10:05 > 1:10:08Just a minute.
1:10:08 > 1:10:13- Tim hasn't run away before? - He hasn't run away. Why would he?
1:10:13 > 1:10:14No.
1:10:14 > 1:10:19That's right, brown corduroy jacket, brown corduroy pants.
1:10:19 > 1:10:24- Yes, and a blue hat.- They've asked all that. They should go and look!
1:10:24 > 1:10:27No, we haven't checked them yet.
1:10:27 > 1:10:30Checked where? The hospitals?
1:10:30 > 1:10:32Take it easy, darling.
1:10:32 > 1:10:34Yes, officer.
1:10:34 > 1:10:35That's right.
1:10:43 > 1:10:45Carl! Carl!
1:10:58 > 1:11:03- Hi, Mom.- Don't ever go off like that again. Are you all right?
1:11:03 > 1:11:05- Sure.- Where were you?
1:11:05 > 1:11:09- And who was that man? - Mr Crowley. He's nice.
1:11:09 > 1:11:14- He said he wished he had a boy just like me.- Mr Crowley from the store?
1:11:14 > 1:11:18- That's miles from here. - I know. I almost got killed twice.
1:11:18 > 1:11:21- Oh, Timmy.- It's OK. I didn't.
1:11:21 > 1:11:24Why did you go to Crowley's?
1:11:24 > 1:11:26I took my train back.
1:11:26 > 1:11:28But why, honey?
1:11:28 > 1:11:32- It wasn't any fun any more. - But you loved it so.
1:11:32 > 1:11:35It cost too much.
1:11:35 > 1:11:40Steve hasn't got a job. Maybe he doesn't have money to eat any more.
1:11:40 > 1:11:43Can you give him the money now? He needs it.
1:11:43 > 1:11:48- We don't know where he lives. - 137 Christopher Street.
1:11:48 > 1:11:52He told the police. I don't want to leave you.
1:11:52 > 1:11:57- It's OK. I'll go to sleep. I'm tired. I walked a lot.- Poor baby.
1:11:57 > 1:12:02- Tell him I didn't take the train back cos I didn't like it.- OK.
1:12:02 > 1:12:07- And tell him I'll never forget him. - Suddenly I have a grown-up boy.
1:12:14 > 1:12:18Let's give him the money and have our dinner.
1:12:27 > 1:12:32Carl. You give him the money. I think I'll wait here.
1:12:43 > 1:12:48In the case of Connie Ennis versus Carl Davies, I offer this evidence.
1:12:48 > 1:12:52- Carl!- The party of the first part, Connie Ennis
1:12:52 > 1:12:55- although loved by Carl Davies -
1:12:55 > 1:13:00for two long years did avoid the idea of a marriage between them.
1:13:00 > 1:13:04Upon the entrance of a stranger into her life, four days ago,
1:13:04 > 1:13:08said Connie Ennis suddenly consented to this marriage.
1:13:08 > 1:13:12- There was no connection. - Since meeting this stranger,
1:13:12 > 1:13:15Connie Ennis, normally calm, stable and frank,
1:13:15 > 1:13:18becomes nervous, quick-tempered and evasive.
1:13:18 > 1:13:20Carl, I don't like this.
1:13:20 > 1:13:25Upon a proposal from the stranger - rarely an insult to women -
1:13:25 > 1:13:29- she is outraged and orders him out. - For your sake!
1:13:29 > 1:13:33- Carl...- Hearing his address once, she remembers it.
1:13:33 > 1:13:39She hesitates to give him money that might remove him from her area.
1:13:39 > 1:13:41And in conclusion,
1:13:41 > 1:13:44she is fearful of seeing him again.
1:13:44 > 1:13:47Why are you saying these things?
1:13:47 > 1:13:51The facts are plain and must be faced by both parties
1:13:51 > 1:13:55however reluctant they are made by their goodwill for each other,
1:13:55 > 1:13:59wishful thinking and long-standing affection.
1:13:59 > 1:14:03I submit this case is ready for summation.
1:14:04 > 1:14:06This case?
1:14:06 > 1:14:08This divorce case, darling.
1:14:11 > 1:14:15Oh, I see. You've got it all added up.
1:14:15 > 1:14:20It's my business to add up facts. I'm a lawyer, you know. Or did you?
1:14:20 > 1:14:25I won an important decision a few days ago. It was in all the papers.
1:14:25 > 1:14:29Maybe I wanted to show off a little
1:14:29 > 1:14:32but you never say anything about my work.
1:14:32 > 1:14:35I'm sorry, Carl.
1:14:35 > 1:14:41I've had a lot on my mind. But you know I'm interested in what you do.
1:14:41 > 1:14:46As my wife you'd be thoughtful and considerate about everything.
1:14:46 > 1:14:49About my home, my health and my career.
1:14:51 > 1:14:54But I have a sneaking suspicion that I ought to see if, somewhere,
1:14:54 > 1:14:58there's a girl who might be in love with me.
1:14:58 > 1:15:03Even if she's a dumb frowzy blonde who feeds me on canned beans!
1:15:04 > 1:15:09- Carl, you've changed. - It's been a big week for both of us.
1:15:11 > 1:15:15Awful little train to hold enough dynamite to change your life.
1:15:15 > 1:15:18Anything can change a life ready to be changed -
1:15:18 > 1:15:21a train, a necktie, anything.
1:15:21 > 1:15:26My life was just changed by someone not getting out of a car.
1:15:28 > 1:15:33- It's been a long time.- No time is wasted that makes people friends.
1:15:35 > 1:15:37Better give him the money.
1:15:44 > 1:15:47I'll wait five minutes.
1:15:47 > 1:15:52If you don't find interesting company you have a date for dinner.
1:15:52 > 1:15:57- You're a wonderful fellow, Carl. - Compliments will get you no place.
1:16:18 > 1:16:22- It's the last room at the end of the hall.- Thank you.
1:16:22 > 1:16:25And leave the door open!
1:16:28 > 1:16:29BUZZER RINGS
1:16:29 > 1:16:31Come in.
1:16:33 > 1:16:35Well, you found the place!
1:16:35 > 1:16:39Few people come here to eat now. Too much atmosphere.
1:16:39 > 1:16:42Thinking of closing down to redecorate.
1:16:42 > 1:16:44The landlady said to keep it open.
1:16:44 > 1:16:47Let's worry her, huh?
1:16:48 > 1:16:51But let's not worry you.
1:16:51 > 1:16:54I never expected to see you.
1:16:54 > 1:16:58I have 79.50 plus tax that belongs to you.
1:16:58 > 1:17:02Will people quit chasing me trying to give me money!
1:17:02 > 1:17:06It's from Timmy. He took his train back. All by himself!
1:17:06 > 1:17:08Why? He was crazy about it.
1:17:08 > 1:17:13He wants you to have the money. And he said he'll never forget you.
1:17:13 > 1:17:16- What a kid!- Well!
1:17:16 > 1:17:19You're pretty good!
1:17:19 > 1:17:23- Where did you learn this? - I picked it up as I went along.
1:17:23 > 1:17:27Well, looks like a Happy New Year all around.
1:17:27 > 1:17:32I can shake myself loose and grab the first cheap train to California.
1:17:32 > 1:17:37You and Carl will be preparing for your honeymoon.
1:17:37 > 1:17:39Carl and I aren't getting married.
1:17:41 > 1:17:45I guess that's my cue to propose again.
1:17:45 > 1:17:47But I'm not going to.
1:17:48 > 1:17:52- Nobody asked you to. - Wouldn't you like to know why?
1:17:52 > 1:17:55- Not particularly. - I'll tell you anyway.
1:17:55 > 1:17:58I've been talking to myself too.
1:17:58 > 1:18:01Carl isn't the real threat to me. Maybe I'm not to him.
1:18:01 > 1:18:06This isn't two fellas and a girl. It's two guys, a girl and a husband.
1:18:06 > 1:18:09I can't fight a shadow. I tried. It's too tough.
1:18:09 > 1:18:12You were marrying a man you didn't love
1:18:12 > 1:18:15so you wouldn't be unfaithful to your husband.
1:18:15 > 1:18:17You're always so wrong about me.
1:18:17 > 1:18:22I have wonderful memories of Guy. You're trying to take them away.
1:18:22 > 1:18:26Nobody wants that. I don't. I'm sure Carl doesn't.
1:18:26 > 1:18:31All I want is for you to live in the present and not fear the future.
1:18:31 > 1:18:33Maybe it can happen again
1:18:33 > 1:18:36if you don't pretend something that's dead is still alive.
1:18:36 > 1:18:41All right. If it makes you happy, you're right about me all the time.
1:18:41 > 1:18:45I want everything how it is, Mrs Status Quo, no changes.
1:18:45 > 1:18:51I want a girl who drops everything and runs to me, no matter what!
1:18:56 > 1:18:58Bye, Steve.
1:18:59 > 1:19:02Looks like we're always saying goodbye.
1:19:02 > 1:19:05Hope you find what you're looking for, Connie.
1:19:05 > 1:19:08Maybe something you're not.
1:19:21 > 1:19:23Well, what happened?
1:19:23 > 1:19:27Seems everyone wants frowzy blondes this year.
1:19:27 > 1:19:32- Guess I'm not the type.- Did you put up a fight?- Please take me home.
1:19:32 > 1:19:37No little train's going to push you around, eh?
1:20:01 > 1:20:04Fine(!) This will be in swell shape for me!
1:20:04 > 1:20:09- It says, "Happy New Year". - Your printing is improving anyway.
1:20:09 > 1:20:14- It's not New Year's for hours. - Is the party at Russ and Harriet's?
1:20:14 > 1:20:17- Mm-hm.- Going alone?- Mm-hm.
1:20:17 > 1:20:20Gee! You don't have any fella anymore, do you?
1:20:20 > 1:20:24- I've got you, haven't I? Aren't you my fella?- Sure, but heck...
1:20:24 > 1:20:30- I'll be running out and getting married soon.- I guess someday.
1:20:30 > 1:20:34Then you'll be alone. I mean, what if I move away?
1:20:36 > 1:20:40Where are you planning on moving? Cairo or Baghdad?
1:20:40 > 1:20:45Oh, there's a lot of places. California, for instance.
1:20:45 > 1:20:50Course, I'd write to you a lot and come to see you but...
1:20:50 > 1:20:54- What I mean is... - I know exactly what you mean.
1:20:54 > 1:21:00Boy, when you start growing up you don't waste any time, do you?
1:21:03 > 1:21:04Mom?
1:21:04 > 1:21:07What are you thinking about?
1:21:08 > 1:21:11Well, since your plans are made,
1:21:11 > 1:21:14maybe I should start thinking of MY future.
1:21:14 > 1:21:18Come on. We have things to do, right now.
