0:02:17 > 0:02:18BUZZING

0:02:20 > 0:02:22- Yes?- 'Mrs Radcliff and Miss Virginia are here.'

0:02:22 > 0:02:23Ask them to come in, please.

0:02:27 > 0:02:30How do you do, Mrs Radcliff? Or rather, Helen, if I may.

0:02:30 > 0:02:34Of course, of course, please, do, you must, in fact.

0:02:34 > 0:02:36Imagine you at the head of Crockett Hall.

0:02:36 > 0:02:38You were teaching when I was here.

0:02:38 > 0:02:39Literature, wasn't it?

0:02:39 > 0:02:41- Latin, I believe.- Latin?

0:02:41 > 0:02:44Oh, imagine, darling, Mother spoke Latin!

0:02:44 > 0:02:47Oh, Miss Van Alstyne, this is my daughter, Virginia.

0:02:47 > 0:02:48Utterly ridiculous, isn't it?

0:02:48 > 0:02:50- How do you do, Virginia? - How do you do?

0:02:50 > 0:02:54She looks like some painting by, uh...some painter, doesn't she?

0:02:55 > 0:02:57Won't you sit down?

0:02:58 > 0:03:01Tell me, Virginia, how do you think you're going to like it here?

0:03:01 > 0:03:04Oh, she'll be mad, utterly mad about it.

0:03:04 > 0:03:07We've ordered her such a darling wardrobe. Sending four horses down.

0:03:07 > 0:03:11I'm sorry to disappoint you, Virginia, but we wear uniforms here.

0:03:13 > 0:03:14Uniforms?

0:03:14 > 0:03:16Oh, yes, I'd forgotten. Perfectly hideous things.

0:03:18 > 0:03:21You'll love them, darling, so smart and proper!

0:03:23 > 0:03:25And I'm afraid you can have only two horses.

0:03:25 > 0:03:28I don't mind at all, if that's the rule.

0:03:28 > 0:03:30You'll find we have quite a few rules, my dear,

0:03:30 > 0:03:32and when you're a little older,

0:03:32 > 0:03:35you'll understand how necessary they all are.

0:03:35 > 0:03:37Oh, you understand about weekends?

0:03:38 > 0:03:41Weekends? Is Virginia coming home weekends?

0:03:41 > 0:03:43Well, only when convenient for you.

0:03:44 > 0:03:47A teacher will take Virginia to the Pennsylvania Station,

0:03:47 > 0:03:49where she will be met by some member of your family.

0:03:49 > 0:03:51And then, on Sunday afternoons,

0:03:51 > 0:03:52she'll be met again and returned here.

0:03:53 > 0:03:55Oh, about visitors -

0:03:55 > 0:03:58their names must be on a list approved by you.

0:03:58 > 0:04:01Perfect. Frankly, that's why I'm entrusting Virginia to your care.

0:04:01 > 0:04:05A girl must be protected from people who don't belong.

0:04:05 > 0:04:07Especially nowadays, when the purchase of a dress suit

0:04:07 > 0:04:09automatically makes a man a gentleman.

0:04:09 > 0:04:10We appreciate that fact.

0:04:10 > 0:04:12Do you know what time it is?

0:04:12 > 0:04:13- It's 4.30.- Precisely 4.30.

0:04:13 > 0:04:16One hour to New York and a date for cocktails.

0:04:16 > 0:04:18I must run. You will forgive me.

0:04:18 > 0:04:20Take good care of my little girl, won't you? But you will.

0:04:20 > 0:04:22I'm always late.

0:04:22 > 0:04:24Goodbye, Miss Van Alstyne, I must run.

0:04:24 > 0:04:25Mother.

0:04:28 > 0:04:30I hadn't really gone, darling.

0:04:30 > 0:04:31Mother's going to miss you dreadfully.

0:04:31 > 0:04:33You will write, won't you, dear?

0:04:33 > 0:04:36You are going to be happy, aren't you, darling? Of course you are.

0:04:36 > 0:04:37- Goodbye, dear.- Goodbye, Mother.

0:04:42 > 0:04:44Shall we go up and meet your roommate?

0:04:48 > 0:04:51After you're all settled, you won't feel so lonely.

0:04:51 > 0:04:52I'm sure I won't.

0:04:52 > 0:04:55You see, I've wanted to come here ever since I was a little girl.

0:04:55 > 0:04:57And now you're here.

0:04:57 > 0:05:00You'll find that we do everything we can to make you happy.

0:05:00 > 0:05:02- Miss Van Alstyne! - How do you do, girls?

0:05:02 > 0:05:05From time to time, we take you into New York for the concerts,

0:05:05 > 0:05:09for the art galleries, for the opera and the better plays.

0:05:09 > 0:05:11- Good afternoon, Miss Van Alstyne. - How do you do, Betty?

0:05:11 > 0:05:15There's a chaperone, on whose good taste you can always depend.

0:05:15 > 0:05:19You see, dear, we try to do all the worthwhile things.

0:05:21 > 0:05:24The aim of our school, and, we like to believe, the achievement,

0:05:24 > 0:05:28is to prepare young ladies to meet, graciously, all social demands.

0:05:28 > 0:05:31You have a sweet smile, dear,

0:05:31 > 0:05:34but another one of our pesky rules, we don't allow lipstick.

0:05:34 > 0:05:38- All right.- And we don't smoke, and, naturally, we don't drink.

0:05:38 > 0:05:40We only mention this once, Virginia,

0:05:40 > 0:05:42because we're on the honour system here.

0:05:42 > 0:05:43I know I can trust you.

0:05:43 > 0:05:45Oh, yes, Miss Van Alstyne.

0:05:45 > 0:05:48You'll like Miss Ferris, she comes from a fine, old family.

0:05:48 > 0:05:49KNOCKING

0:05:51 > 0:05:52LOUDER KNOCKING

0:05:52 > 0:05:55'Hey, what are you doing? Posting bills, or do you want to come in?'

0:05:55 > 0:05:57Cecilia.

0:05:57 > 0:05:58'Oh...'

0:05:58 > 0:06:01THUDDING AND STOMPING

0:06:04 > 0:06:06Cecilia, you know our rule.

0:06:06 > 0:06:07Why is this door locked?

0:06:07 > 0:06:09Oh, it wasn't locked, Miss Van Alstyne,

0:06:09 > 0:06:11uh, the trunk just happened to be against it.

0:06:11 > 0:06:14And how did the trunk just happen to be against it?

0:06:14 > 0:06:16Well, you know how it is with a trunk.

0:06:16 > 0:06:19It's either here or there with a trunk.

0:06:19 > 0:06:22I see. Well, this is Virginia Radcliff, your new roommate.

0:06:22 > 0:06:24- And this is Cecilia Ferris.- Hello.

0:06:24 > 0:06:26How do you do?

0:06:26 > 0:06:29You will acquaint Virginia with our routine, won't you, Cecilia?

0:06:29 > 0:06:31And how. I mean, I surely will, Miss Van Alstyne.

0:06:33 > 0:06:34My name's Pony. Come on in.

0:06:53 > 0:06:56It may smell like it, but the horse isn't under the bed.

0:06:58 > 0:07:01- Oh...- What's the matter?

0:07:01 > 0:07:03Sister, I've got a new pony that's had ten years' wear

0:07:03 > 0:07:05out of a certain part of my anatomy in the past two days.

0:07:05 > 0:07:09- Does he throw you?- Throw me? He flips with me. Today I was tails.

0:07:10 > 0:07:11Cigarette?

0:07:12 > 0:07:14Oh, no, thank you.

0:07:14 > 0:07:15Oh, it's all right, nobody can come in.

0:07:15 > 0:07:17The maid just put the chair against the door.

0:07:18 > 0:07:21Yes, but Miss Van Alstyne said we're not supposed to smoke or drink or...

0:07:21 > 0:07:24Oh, they just make those prissy rules to please our parents.

0:07:24 > 0:07:26- Really?- Sure, so the old folks won't mind

0:07:26 > 0:07:28the genteel racketeering that goes on.

0:07:28 > 0:07:30Racketeering?

0:07:30 > 0:07:31Uh-huh. Gimme your keys.

0:07:32 > 0:07:35They charge you 4 an hour to ride your own horse,

0:07:35 > 0:07:36and 60 a month to feed him.

0:07:38 > 0:07:4160 bucks' worth of hay's enough to give an elephant the gout.

0:07:42 > 0:07:44Not to mention what they knock down

0:07:44 > 0:07:46on uniforms and chaperones and theatre tickets.

0:07:46 > 0:07:49Yes, but...

0:07:49 > 0:07:52But if they have those rules, and we're on our honour, I think we...

0:07:52 > 0:07:54Honour? You're supposed to do exactly as you please in

0:07:54 > 0:07:56this old lady's home for nice young gals.

0:07:56 > 0:07:58Just don't get caught, that's all.

0:07:58 > 0:08:00I still don't want one.

0:08:00 > 0:08:01- KNOCKING - Oh...

0:08:02 > 0:08:04Just a minute.

0:08:08 > 0:08:10Oh, it's you. Come on in.

0:08:10 > 0:08:12Phew! Smells like a pool hall in here!

0:08:12 > 0:08:14Pool hall over a stable.

0:08:16 > 0:08:19- It's Virginia.- Has she got a last name?- It's Radcliff.

0:08:19 > 0:08:20Virginia, this is Ruth Wallace.

0:08:20 > 0:08:22Hello.

0:08:22 > 0:08:23The girl with a smile like a birdcage.

0:08:24 > 0:08:27- Can I help?- Thanks.

0:08:27 > 0:08:28And this, Virginia,

0:08:28 > 0:08:30is Maggie.

0:08:30 > 0:08:31Maggie Kelly.

0:08:31 > 0:08:33You know very well my name is Madeleine.

0:08:33 > 0:08:34Yeah, I know.

0:08:35 > 0:08:37But, somehow, you look just like a Maggie to me.

0:08:41 > 0:08:43Delighted. Of the New York Radcliffs, of course.

0:08:43 > 0:08:45I guess so, I live in New York.

0:08:45 > 0:08:47Maggie's awfully impressed by society.

0:08:47 > 0:08:49Her family made the social register this year.

0:08:49 > 0:08:52Even now, when her grandfather crosses the railroad tracks

0:08:52 > 0:08:53he thinks he's going to work.

0:08:53 > 0:08:55- He was a construction engineer! - Construction's right,

0:08:55 > 0:08:58he can't pick up a golf club to this day without spitting on his hand.

0:08:58 > 0:09:01Ha-ha! Say, I could do with a drink.

0:09:01 > 0:09:03Me... I mean, I, too.

0:09:03 > 0:09:06Two days in here, this is going to smell like a horse blanket.

0:09:06 > 0:09:08She is pretty goofy about horses, isn't she?

0:09:08 > 0:09:11She'd pass up a day with Clark Gable to stay home and curry a horse.

0:09:12 > 0:09:14Look, what's this?

0:09:15 > 0:09:17- Swedish punch. Mother brought it. - Gimme!

0:09:18 > 0:09:21Place your bets, ladies and gentlemen! 20/1 on Kelly!

0:09:23 > 0:09:24Got a corkscrew, Pony?

0:09:24 > 0:09:26Sooner be caught without a toothbrush!

0:09:27 > 0:09:30Your refinement certainly comes out when you see a bottle.

0:09:30 > 0:09:34- Gee, it's a cute bottle.- Never mind the bottle, let's get inside.

0:09:34 > 0:09:35Please, don't open it.

0:09:49 > 0:09:50Oh, oh, it isn't what you think.

0:09:51 > 0:09:54It's just that...that I promised Miss Van Alstyne I wouldn't.

0:09:54 > 0:09:55And...

0:09:55 > 0:09:58Well, it just doesn't seem right, that's all.

0:10:00 > 0:10:03Don't you believe me it isn't the liquor I care about?

0:10:21 > 0:10:24There's a towel in the bathroom, if you want to clean that up.

0:10:24 > 0:10:25Pony...

0:10:25 > 0:10:26DOOR CLOSES

0:10:29 > 0:10:31LAUGHTER AND CHATTER

0:10:33 > 0:10:35Dinner is served.

0:10:50 > 0:10:52Too tight. Two notches out.

0:10:58 > 0:10:59Shoulders up.

0:11:05 > 0:11:08One, two, three, four, attitudinise.

0:11:08 > 0:11:11Be-au-ti-ful, attitudinise.

0:11:11 > 0:11:15One, two, three, four, attitudinise.

0:11:15 > 0:11:18Grace is power, attitudinise.

0:11:18 > 0:11:21One, two, three, four, attitudinise.

0:11:27 > 0:11:28Good morning, young ladies.

0:11:28 > 0:11:29- ALL:- Good morning, teacher.

0:11:29 > 0:11:31(The old crow.)

0:11:32 > 0:11:33Sit down, young ladies.

0:11:37 > 0:11:41Now, this morning we will review yesterday's lesson

0:11:41 > 0:11:45on the etiquette of the formal call, the reception and the tea.

0:11:45 > 0:11:49After all, girls, it isn't so much what you do as

0:11:49 > 0:11:50do you do it correctly?

0:11:53 > 0:11:54Uh, Madeleine Kelly.

0:11:55 > 0:11:57Please, tell us how many cards one leaves

0:11:57 > 0:12:00when one makes a call and finds no-one at home.

0:12:00 > 0:12:03One leaves, when one is calling,

0:12:03 > 0:12:05one leaves, um...

0:12:05 > 0:12:0652, if the house is honest.

0:12:06 > 0:12:07Fifty-tw...

0:12:11 > 0:12:12Well, it all depends.

0:12:12 > 0:12:13Yes, that's right.

0:12:13 > 0:12:15One leaves a card of her own

0:12:15 > 0:12:18and one of her daughter's for each lady in the house,

0:12:18 > 0:12:20and a card of her husband's and of her son's

0:12:20 > 0:12:23for each lady and gentleman.

0:12:23 > 0:12:24Now, is that clear, Madeleine?

0:12:24 > 0:12:26Oh, yes, Miss Fisher.

0:12:27 > 0:12:31Ruth Wallace, what is the greatest number ever left of any one card?

0:12:31 > 0:12:35Well, um, I don't remember the exact figures...

0:12:35 > 0:12:37Well, now, let me ask it another way.

0:12:37 > 0:12:40In calling on Mrs Lesley, who has three grown daughters

0:12:40 > 0:12:42and a mother living in the house,

0:12:42 > 0:12:44and a Mrs Powers visiting...

0:12:45 > 0:12:47..you'd leave how many, Ruth?

0:12:47 > 0:12:49Well, let's see. There'd be two for Mrs Lesley,

0:12:49 > 0:12:52- and two apiece for each of her three daughters. - INAUDIBLE WHISPER

0:12:52 > 0:12:56That makes six and two is eight

0:12:56 > 0:12:59and two for her mother, that makes ten,

0:12:59 > 0:13:01- and two for...- Virginia Radcliff.

0:13:02 > 0:13:04Please, bring me what you have in your hand.

0:13:04 > 0:13:06(There goes my weekend.)

0:13:06 > 0:13:09I said to bring me that note, Virginia. I presume it is a note.

0:13:10 > 0:13:12I don't know. You see, I don't read things

0:13:12 > 0:13:13that are addressed to other people.

0:13:13 > 0:13:16Please, don't make a scene, Virginia. Bring me the note.

0:13:18 > 0:13:19I'm sorry, Miss Fisher.

0:13:19 > 0:13:21GASPING

0:13:25 > 0:13:28You will, please, go to Miss Van Alstyne's office

0:13:28 > 0:13:29and report this matter to her at once.

0:13:29 > 0:13:31Yes, Miss Fisher.

0:13:31 > 0:13:35Erma Schmidt, what is the difference between a reception and a tea?

0:13:35 > 0:13:37At a tea, only tea...

0:13:38 > 0:13:40BELL RINGS

0:13:44 > 0:13:48CHATTER AND FOOTSTEPS

0:13:53 > 0:13:55Got to hand it to the kid, she certainly rode us out of that one,

0:13:55 > 0:13:57and didn't pull leather once.

0:13:57 > 0:13:59Breeding certainly tells, doesn't it?

0:13:59 > 0:14:01That's what I think every time

0:14:01 > 0:14:03I hear you call a piece of wood a two-by-four.

0:14:04 > 0:14:07I tell you, my grandfather was a famous engineer!

0:14:07 > 0:14:09Why, he built the Erie Canal!

0:14:09 > 0:14:11Yeah, shovel-full at a time.

0:14:13 > 0:14:15I wonder what Van Alstyne will do to Virgie.

0:14:15 > 0:14:16Probably take away her weekend.

0:14:17 > 0:14:19Well, if she does, I certainly owe that gal

0:14:19 > 0:14:20a swell party on her next one.

0:14:20 > 0:14:22There she is.

0:14:22 > 0:14:24Oh, Virgie.

0:14:27 > 0:14:29You sure saved me from a cropper, Virgie. Thanks.

0:14:29 > 0:14:31You'd have done the same for me.

0:14:31 > 0:14:33- Apple?- Crackers? What happened? - What'd she say?

0:14:33 > 0:14:35She was grand, she told me just to forget it.

0:14:35 > 0:14:37She'd forget anything just to save an argument.

0:14:37 > 0:14:39No, really, Pony, she was awfully nice about it.

0:14:39 > 0:14:42I know, I know. Listen, I'm planning a weekend with a future,

0:14:42 > 0:14:43and I'd love to have you come along.

0:14:43 > 0:14:45Do you think Miss Van Alstyne would let me?

0:14:45 > 0:14:48If you tell her that my Aunt Jessica Page is going to meet us

0:14:48 > 0:14:50- at the Penn Station...- There she is now!- Go ask her, go on!

0:14:50 > 0:14:52Just act like a poor little boid in a gilded cage

0:14:52 > 0:14:54and she'll let you out, go on!

0:14:55 > 0:14:58Do you think we ought to tell Virgie how we're going to

0:14:58 > 0:14:59get out of this asylum for pick-ups?

0:14:59 > 0:15:01What's the use? When you know a person's got

0:15:01 > 0:15:03an ingrowing conscience, why pick on it?

0:15:03 > 0:15:05What's an ingrowing conscience?

0:15:05 > 0:15:07- She's in again. - Can't you leave us alone?

0:15:07 > 0:15:10Oh, I've had warts that were easier to get rid of.

0:15:10 > 0:15:13- Going on a weekend party? - ALL:- Yes.

0:15:13 > 0:15:14- Going with fellas? - ALL:- Yes.

0:15:14 > 0:15:16- Can I go? - ALL:- No!

0:15:16 > 0:15:18Aw, gee, the way I get treated around here,

0:15:18 > 0:15:21I've got a good chance of dying an old maid!

0:15:21 > 0:15:22BELL RINGS

0:15:23 > 0:15:25Gosh, I get awful tired bumping into you.

0:15:25 > 0:15:28Gee, Pony, I could be a real friend to you,

0:15:28 > 0:15:29if you'd only let me.

0:15:30 > 0:15:32Drink it. It'll save you from having the rickets.

0:15:35 > 0:15:38I bet there isn't a calf in this county that gets a square meal...

0:15:39 > 0:15:40..on account of me!

0:15:50 > 0:15:52I wonder where she is.

0:15:52 > 0:15:53Oh, Aunt Jessica!

0:15:55 > 0:15:57Oh, Cecilia, my dear!

0:15:57 > 0:15:59- And Madeleine and Ruth. - BOTH:- Hello, Mrs Page.

0:15:59 > 0:16:01I'm so glad you and your friends could come.

0:16:01 > 0:16:03Aunt Jessica, I want you to know Virginia Radcliff.

0:16:03 > 0:16:06- How do you do, Virginia?- How do you do? It's so nice of you to have me.

0:16:06 > 0:16:08So glad to see you again, Mrs Page.

0:16:08 > 0:16:10Oh, it's awfully nice of you to take such good care of the girls.

0:16:10 > 0:16:13It's a great satisfaction to know one is doing one small...

0:16:13 > 0:16:14Come on, let's get the...

0:16:14 > 0:16:16Don't you think we better be going, Aunt Jessica?

0:16:16 > 0:16:19Yes, I'm afraid we must hurry. I'm taking the girls to a matinee.

0:16:19 > 0:16:22You'd better be off, then. You'll have them back here

0:16:22 > 0:16:24at five o'clock, Sunday afternoon.

0:16:24 > 0:16:26I'll see that they shan't keep you waiting.

0:16:26 > 0:16:28- Come along, girls.- Goodbye, girls.

0:16:28 > 0:16:29- ALL:- Goodbye, Miss Fisher.

0:16:30 > 0:16:32HORN

0:16:35 > 0:16:37Tell him to drop us at the Waldorf.

0:16:37 > 0:16:39We're meeting Spec and George there.

0:16:39 > 0:16:42- Where can we drop you? - At 42nd Street.

0:16:43 > 0:16:44Oh, cabbie, hesitate at 42nd,

0:16:44 > 0:16:47stop at the Waldorf and carry on to 40 and a half West 60th.

0:16:47 > 0:16:49Yes, ma'am.

0:16:49 > 0:16:50"Ma'am." Did you hear that?

0:16:50 > 0:16:52I'm maturing.

0:16:52 > 0:16:53LAUGHTER

0:16:53 > 0:16:56Here, here's your five, and you're certainly worth it.

0:16:56 > 0:16:57Worth it? I should hope so.

0:16:57 > 0:16:59You know whom I have played with?

0:16:59 > 0:17:01Hackett, Sothern, Maurice Barrymore.

0:17:01 > 0:17:02That's the sort of talent you're getting.

0:17:04 > 0:17:06One step lower and I'll be in the movies.

0:17:06 > 0:17:08You'll be sure to meet us Sunday afternoon, won't you?

0:17:08 > 0:17:10To collect your other five.

0:17:10 > 0:17:12For 10 I'd keep a date with an acrobat.

0:17:13 > 0:17:14Isn't she really your aunt?

0:17:14 > 0:17:16Well, not as far as my uncle knows.

0:17:17 > 0:17:19- What's it all about?- Forget it.

0:17:24 > 0:17:26- I won't do it.- Won't do what?

0:17:26 > 0:17:29I won't go through another weekend with this band in my teeth.

0:17:29 > 0:17:30I'm getting a cauliflower lip!

0:17:30 > 0:17:32I'm going to take it off.

0:17:32 > 0:17:34It's cemented on, isn't it?

0:17:34 > 0:17:36This end is loose. Madeleine, see if you can get it off.

0:17:36 > 0:17:37Open wide.

0:17:37 > 0:17:39Say, "Aaah."

0:17:40 > 0:17:42I've lived in houses that had less closet room.

0:17:44 > 0:17:46If you could brace your feet against her lowers,

0:17:46 > 0:17:48you could get more leverage.

0:17:48 > 0:17:50Maybe if one of us climbed inside and helped!

0:17:50 > 0:17:51Take it easy.

0:17:53 > 0:17:55There she comes!

0:17:57 > 0:18:00Oh, jeeper, any bigger and we'd run a trolley on it.

0:18:00 > 0:18:01Get the other end off.

0:18:01 > 0:18:04Why don't you work it back and forth?

0:18:04 > 0:18:06It makes my lower plate rattle.

0:18:06 > 0:18:08Oh, it's getting hot!

0:18:08 > 0:18:10Can't get it off that way.

0:18:10 > 0:18:12- Guess we'll just have to leave it. - Leave it? You will not.

0:18:12 > 0:18:14You think I'm going to keep a date

0:18:14 > 0:18:16with a girder sticking out of my mouth?

0:18:16 > 0:18:18I've got an idea.

0:18:18 > 0:18:19Pull the tooth out.

0:18:19 > 0:18:20- No, file it off.- That's it!

0:18:20 > 0:18:23- Hold your face up. - Be careful of her lip.

0:18:23 > 0:18:24Here, I'll keep it cool.

0:18:29 > 0:18:31- Good afternoon. - Did you get my telegram?

0:18:31 > 0:18:33- Oh, yes, Miss Ferris, your rooms are ready for you.- Any messages?

0:18:33 > 0:18:36No phone calls, but two gentlemen from New Haven are here to see you.

0:18:36 > 0:18:38They're waiting upstairs in your sitting room.

0:18:38 > 0:18:41- Thank you. Would you send up some ice and seltzer?- Right away.

0:18:41 > 0:18:42Number four.

0:18:44 > 0:18:46- Hi, Chuck!- Pony!

0:18:49 > 0:18:53Oh, when you kiss me like that, the beast in me comes out on all fours.

0:18:55 > 0:18:58Oh, the brown one goes in there and the striped one goes in there.

0:18:58 > 0:19:01Oh, Virginia. This is mine, and it's name is Chuck.

0:19:01 > 0:19:03- Hello, Virginia.- How do you do?

0:19:03 > 0:19:05And this is Bill Martin, an all-American.

0:19:05 > 0:19:08An all-American what you'll have to find out for yourself.

0:19:08 > 0:19:11Well, to look at you, nobody would think you were a blind date.

0:19:11 > 0:19:13- KNOCKING - Gee, you're cute. Oh, come in.

0:19:13 > 0:19:15Put them down over here.

0:19:15 > 0:19:18- Hey, where are you all taking us for dinner?- How about Harlem?

0:19:18 > 0:19:21Oh, that's swell. Oh, Virgie, would you like to, um, powder your nose?

0:19:21 > 0:19:23Mm-hm. Pardon.

0:19:23 > 0:19:25Chuck's a swell guy, isn't he?

0:19:25 > 0:19:27He doesn't look so hot, and he's not so terribly bright,

0:19:27 > 0:19:30but he's a swell guy just the same.

0:19:30 > 0:19:31Bill's cute, too, isn't he?

0:19:31 > 0:19:33Of course, if the swelling ever went out of his head,

0:19:33 > 0:19:36it'd slip down his throat and choke him to death.

0:19:36 > 0:19:38Pony, why did we come to this place?

0:19:38 > 0:19:40We won't meet anyone we know here.

0:19:40 > 0:19:43You can't be seen around New York, it's a cinch.

0:19:44 > 0:19:45I don't like the idea very well.

0:19:45 > 0:19:47I know you don't, but after you've spent

0:19:47 > 0:19:50four years behind the bars of Crockett Hall, you will.

0:19:50 > 0:19:53Don't be so serious, you're supposed to be having a good time!

0:19:53 > 0:19:56I don't think this Bill and I have the same idea of a good time.

0:19:57 > 0:20:00Well, what do you think Bill is, Virgie, a thug?

0:20:00 > 0:20:03You make the rules and he'll play by them.

0:20:03 > 0:20:05I suppose that's right, isn't it?

0:20:05 > 0:20:08Sure. You're like the old maid worrying about the man under the bed

0:20:08 > 0:20:09that ain't there.

0:20:09 > 0:20:11Come on and have yourself some good, clean fun,

0:20:11 > 0:20:14while I lead my dissipated life.

0:20:17 > 0:20:19- You know something, Pony?- What?

0:20:19 > 0:20:21I've always wanted to get tight.

0:20:21 > 0:20:22You?

0:20:22 > 0:20:24You know, just to see how it feels.

0:20:24 > 0:20:26Yeah, I remember.

0:20:26 > 0:20:30- This would be a good opportunity, wouldn't it?- Opportunity?

0:20:30 > 0:20:32It's an obligation. Come, little one.

0:20:34 > 0:20:36Boys, there's something you really ought to know.

0:20:36 > 0:20:39- Virginia's going to get fried. - Virginia's going to get fried?

0:20:39 > 0:20:41Virginia's going to get fried.

0:20:41 > 0:20:43# Virginia's going to get fried Virginia's going to get fried

0:20:43 > 0:20:46# Hi-ho, the merry-oh Virginia's going to get fried

0:20:56 > 0:20:59LAUGHTER

0:21:01 > 0:21:03Looks like Virginia's going to get fried.

0:21:22 > 0:21:25Wouldn't you like to hear about my dear old grey-haired mother?

0:21:25 > 0:21:26No, sir.

0:21:26 > 0:21:29- So many people don't. - Take care of him, will you, Bill?

0:21:29 > 0:21:30- See that he gets in.- OK, Mac.

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

0:21:32 > 0:21:34Well, Joe, another night, another dollar.

0:21:34 > 0:21:36Right you are.

0:21:36 > 0:21:38Can you imagine that?

0:21:38 > 0:21:40People staying up all night when they don't have to?

0:21:40 > 0:21:42- Mac.- What?- Will you take this up to number four?

0:21:42 > 0:21:46- They ordered them when they came in an hour ago.- OK.- Attaboy.

0:22:31 > 0:22:33Hey, Chuck!

0:22:33 > 0:22:35- Chuck! Come here and get still. - MAN LAUGHS

0:22:36 > 0:22:39- Will you get out of here? - Oh, come on, doll.

0:22:39 > 0:22:41Oh, Bill, don't!

0:22:41 > 0:22:42What is it?

0:22:42 > 0:22:44Stop that! You hear me? Stop it!

0:22:44 > 0:22:46Ah...

0:22:46 > 0:22:50- Leave me alone! Leave me alone! - Yeah...

0:22:50 > 0:22:53Stop that! You hear me? Stop it. Leave me alone.

0:22:53 > 0:22:55Leave me alone!

0:22:56 > 0:22:59Boy, get me a taxi. Hurry, please.

0:22:59 > 0:23:01There you are, running out on me.

0:23:01 > 0:23:02Don't paw me!

0:23:02 > 0:23:03Take it easy, bud. Take it easy.

0:23:03 > 0:23:05- Oh, you keep out of this. - It's none of my business

0:23:05 > 0:23:08but you can't start a brawl out here, that's all.

0:23:08 > 0:23:12Listen, I'll start a brawl anyplace I like, see? And you can't stop me.

0:23:12 > 0:23:16The whole Harvard line couldn't stop me. You know who I am?

0:23:16 > 0:23:19I'm Bill Martin, see? Nobody stops me.

0:23:19 > 0:23:21Sure, Mr Martin, nobody can stop you

0:23:21 > 0:23:24but, just as a favour to me, will you go back in your room?

0:23:24 > 0:23:27Just because I'm drunk, you think you can push me around.

0:23:27 > 0:23:30Well, you can't, see? Why, I could break you in two.

0:23:30 > 0:23:32What's the sense of that, Mr Martin?

0:23:32 > 0:23:34And all I need is one hand to do it, see?

0:23:34 > 0:23:37Well, of course you can, you're a football player.

0:23:37 > 0:23:38- I'm only... - Yeah, I'm a football player.

0:23:38 > 0:23:41I think I'll teach you a lesson.

0:23:41 > 0:23:44- This is kind of silly, isn't it, Mr Martin?- I'll show you...

0:23:48 > 0:23:49Do you suppose he's hurt?

0:23:49 > 0:23:52No, you see, he's Bill Martin(!)

0:23:52 > 0:23:54Look, you'd better get your coat and get out of here

0:23:54 > 0:23:56before he comes to and gets nasty.

0:24:11 > 0:24:13No?

0:24:13 > 0:24:14All right, we'll fix that.

0:24:14 > 0:24:17Here you are, Gertrude.

0:24:17 > 0:24:19Here you are.

0:24:19 > 0:24:21There you go.

0:24:50 > 0:24:52Do you feel all right?

0:24:58 > 0:25:01Well, look, don't you think you'd better get home?

0:25:44 > 0:25:46Where did I meet you?

0:25:46 > 0:25:49You didn't meet me. I'm a waiter at the hotel.

0:25:54 > 0:25:57I didn't hold my liquor very well, did I?

0:25:57 > 0:25:59Well, not very long.

0:26:04 > 0:26:05What's your name?

0:26:05 > 0:26:07Ralph McFarland.

0:26:13 > 0:26:15Are you in the habit of picking up girls at night?

0:26:15 > 0:26:19I should say not, or you're the first...

0:26:19 > 0:26:21- Kidding, huh? - HE COUGHS

0:26:21 > 0:26:23- You're catching cold.- I'm all right.

0:26:23 > 0:26:25You shouldn't leave the window down.

0:26:25 > 0:26:27Well, you needed the air.

0:26:27 > 0:26:29Here, I'll fix that.

0:26:34 > 0:26:37- Are you sure this is your coat? - Certainly. Why?

0:26:37 > 0:26:39Cos it doesn't fit you.

0:26:39 > 0:26:42Funny, it did when I was a freshman.

0:26:42 > 0:26:44- Where were you a freshman?- McGill.

0:26:44 > 0:26:46- Where do you want to go? - Crockett Hall.

0:26:46 > 0:26:48- What did you study?- Medicine.

0:26:48 > 0:26:51- Do you go to Crockett Hall?- Uh-huh.

0:26:51 > 0:26:55You can't practise medicine while waiting on tables, can you?

0:26:55 > 0:26:58No, but you can eat that way while you're interning.

0:26:58 > 0:26:59Oh, don't they pay interns?

0:26:59 > 0:27:02Some hospitals do, but not Beaudline.

0:27:02 > 0:27:05Beaudline? That's a children's hospital, isn't it?

0:27:05 > 0:27:06Uh-huh.

0:27:06 > 0:27:08ENGINE RUMBLES

0:27:18 > 0:27:21As a doctor, you realise that a growing girl needs nourishment,

0:27:21 > 0:27:23don't you?

0:27:24 > 0:27:26OK, I'll give you my favourite prescription.

0:27:26 > 0:27:28What do you mean?

0:27:28 > 0:27:29You'll find out.

0:27:30 > 0:27:31Oh.

0:27:33 > 0:27:35Hey, bud, are you selling that milk?

0:27:35 > 0:27:38No, I'm carrying it around for the cow(!)

0:27:38 > 0:27:41You don't think she'd miss a quart, do you?

0:27:43 > 0:27:45It's 12 cents.

0:27:53 > 0:27:56So, finally, the day came to take the cast off the kid's leg.

0:27:56 > 0:27:58You know, that little cuss had all the confidence in the world

0:27:58 > 0:28:00he was going to be all right,

0:28:00 > 0:28:02but none of us were so sure.

0:28:02 > 0:28:04Wipe off your mouth.

0:28:04 > 0:28:07Anyway, we went in and removed the cast.

0:28:07 > 0:28:10And do you know, today, that little kid's walking?

0:28:10 > 0:28:13Yes, in a couple of months, he'll be riding a bicycle.

0:28:15 > 0:28:19When I think what it's costing my father to send me to Crockett Hall,

0:28:19 > 0:28:22- and you had to work your way through school.- That's all right,

0:28:52 > 0:28:54Goodbye and thanks.

0:28:55 > 0:28:58- Hey, hey, what's your name? - Virginia Radcliff.

0:29:03 > 0:29:05Why, there's Virginia.

0:29:05 > 0:29:07Why, I thought she went to New York with Pony.

0:29:07 > 0:29:10Look at that car.

0:29:10 > 0:29:12This is a strange time to be coming back.

0:29:17 > 0:29:19Good morning, Miss Van Alstyne.

0:29:19 > 0:29:21Will you follow me into my office, Virginia?

0:29:28 > 0:29:30Who's that man she was with?

0:29:30 > 0:29:33That's probably just what Miss Van Alstyne wants to know.

0:29:35 > 0:29:37Virginia, I don't know what to say to you.

0:29:37 > 0:29:41Please let me explain, Miss Van Alstyne.

0:29:41 > 0:29:44You see, I didn't go to Pony's aunt's.

0:29:44 > 0:29:46I cut out of that to go on this party.

0:29:46 > 0:29:47Well, it was a mistake,

0:29:47 > 0:29:50so I thought the best thing to do was come right back here.

0:29:50 > 0:29:53I can't imagine a girl cheapening herself so completely.

0:29:53 > 0:29:56I can't either, now, but I didn't know it then.

0:29:56 > 0:29:59You surely knew enough not to drive up in front of the school

0:29:59 > 0:30:00at this hour in the morning.

0:30:00 > 0:30:02The least one expects of a lady is the nicety to

0:30:02 > 0:30:03cover her indiscretions.

0:30:03 > 0:30:05But I didn't realise what I was getting into.

0:30:05 > 0:30:07That isn't the question at all.

0:30:07 > 0:30:11You have certain obligations as a student in the school,

0:30:11 > 0:30:14and the most important of these is to maintain appearances.

0:30:14 > 0:30:16In other words, you don't care what I do,

0:30:16 > 0:30:17so long as I'm not caught doing it?

0:30:17 > 0:30:21Virginia, you are deliberately misconstruing what I say.

0:30:21 > 0:30:23This is never to happen again.

0:30:23 > 0:30:25Do you understand? Never.

0:31:05 > 0:31:07No, I just ducked away from the others.

0:31:07 > 0:31:10They brought us up to hear the opera and...

0:31:10 > 0:31:12Have you ever been to a grand opera?

0:31:13 > 0:31:15Did you like it?

0:31:18 > 0:31:20That's good.

0:31:20 > 0:31:23Well, now that we understand each other, how are you?

0:31:23 > 0:31:25- I'm mad at you.- Hmm?

0:31:25 > 0:31:28Well, I stood on the street corner for three hours and a half

0:31:28 > 0:31:29last Saturday, waiting for you.

0:31:29 > 0:31:32Oh, Mac, I'm sorry, but it wasn't my fault, honestly. They...

0:31:32 > 0:31:34They took us to the museum,

0:31:34 > 0:31:36and what I thought was a mummy when I sneaked past it

0:31:36 > 0:31:38turned out to be Van Alstyne.

0:31:41 > 0:31:45Don't you really think it's kind of silly you're having to sneak out

0:31:45 > 0:31:47- to see me this way? - What difference does it make?

0:31:47 > 0:31:49Oh, it makes a lot of difference.

0:31:49 > 0:31:51It makes us look cheap and underhanded.

0:31:53 > 0:31:55I don't know what we can do about it.

0:31:56 > 0:31:58Well...

0:31:58 > 0:32:00Couldn't I see you at the school?

0:32:00 > 0:32:02Yes, but...

0:32:04 > 0:32:06Sure, next Sunday for tea.

0:32:06 > 0:32:07- Sandwiches?- Sandwiches.

0:32:07 > 0:32:10I'll be there.

0:32:10 > 0:32:13Say, I forgot, I haven't eaten yet.

0:32:13 > 0:32:14Do you want to have lunch with me?

0:32:14 > 0:32:16I'd love to.

0:46:41 > 0:46:44Well, you'd have gotten a lot of tips if you'd stayed -

0:46:44 > 0:46:46enough to buy a new overcoat, maybe.

0:50:49 > 0:50:51Well, thanks, Mother.

0:50:51 > 0:50:56Listen, will you speak to Miss Van Alstyne and tell her I can go?

0:50:56 > 0:50:58All right, hold on just a minute.

0:51:03 > 0:51:05Oh, Miss Weber,

0:51:05 > 0:51:07I wondered if you would ask Miss Van Alstyne

0:51:07 > 0:51:09if she'd speak to my mother on the phone?

0:51:09 > 0:51:10Of course, dear.

0:51:10 > 0:51:11Thank you.

0:51:25 > 0:51:28No, I won't change the bandages on 809 for you.

0:51:28 > 0:51:30Look, Maude, I've got a date.

0:51:50 > 0:51:52Pardon me.

0:51:52 > 0:51:53Yes?

0:51:53 > 0:51:56I wonder if you will tell me where I can find Dr McFarland.

0:51:56 > 0:51:58He's busy.

0:51:58 > 0:52:01Well, if he won't be long, I'd like to wait.

0:52:01 > 0:52:03He's on duty and he WILL be long.

0:52:05 > 0:52:07Could I leave a note?

0:52:42 > 0:52:45- Would you mind giving this to Dr McFarland?- I will.

0:52:45 > 0:52:47Thank you.

0:52:52 > 0:52:55It doesn't look so good for that kid, Maude.

0:52:57 > 0:52:59What are you doing? Working on a crossword puzzle?

0:52:59 > 0:53:01That isn't funny.

0:53:01 > 0:53:03Well, is anything ever funny to you, Maude?

0:53:03 > 0:53:06Yes, interns!

0:53:06 > 0:53:08There's a note for you.

0:53:08 > 0:53:09Thanks.

0:53:15 > 0:53:17Oh, Maude, I'm just as tired as you look.

0:53:17 > 0:53:18Uh-huh.

0:53:46 > 0:53:47How long ago was she here, Maude?

0:53:47 > 0:53:49She just went down in the elevator.

0:53:49 > 0:53:52I wanted to see her, too.

0:53:52 > 0:53:54The trouble with you interns is

0:53:54 > 0:53:56you've got your mind on osteopathy instead of medicine.

0:53:56 > 0:53:59Maude, you're just a carnal old woman. You know that, don't you?

0:53:59 > 0:54:00Ah.

0:54:00 > 0:54:03Let me know the next time she comes, will you?

0:54:03 > 0:54:04No.

0:54:04 > 0:54:06Thanks.

0:54:25 > 0:54:27So I turned to the sales girl and I said,

0:54:27 > 0:54:30"Really, my good woman, this is too excessive.

0:54:30 > 0:54:33- "Enough is enough. You are going to extremes."- Yessum.

0:54:33 > 0:54:35And, with that, I motioned to the manager

0:54:35 > 0:54:36and reported the whole affair,

0:54:36 > 0:54:39ver...bottom.

0:54:39 > 0:54:41I mean, -batum, -batim...

0:54:41 > 0:54:43- Oh, well.- Yessum.

0:54:43 > 0:54:47He was utterly horrified to the point of being aghast,

0:54:47 > 0:54:48and assured me that...

0:54:48 > 0:54:50Hello, Virginia.

0:54:50 > 0:54:51Are you leaving already?

0:54:51 > 0:54:54In a few minutes.

0:54:54 > 0:54:55May I talk to you, Mother?

0:54:55 > 0:54:57Well, of course, darling.

0:54:57 > 0:54:58That'll be all, Evelyn.

0:54:58 > 0:55:01- Well...- Hand me my case, darling.

0:55:01 > 0:55:03This dress need something more.

0:55:03 > 0:55:04The neck's all wrong.

0:55:04 > 0:55:07Really, these dressmakers, they're too stupid.

0:55:07 > 0:55:09You pay them a large fortune,

0:55:09 > 0:55:12and you practically design your clothes yourself.

0:55:12 > 0:55:15Mother, I came to you because I thought that...

0:55:15 > 0:55:17You're perfectly right, dear.

0:55:17 > 0:55:19I said that to Mrs Baker today.

0:55:19 > 0:55:21She's having a terrible time with Geraldine.

0:55:21 > 0:55:23Really, that girl is...

0:55:23 > 0:55:24That girl is...

0:55:24 > 0:55:27Look, darling, don't you think that's very original?

0:55:27 > 0:55:29You mustn't frown like that, dear,

0:55:29 > 0:55:32or when you are my age, you'll have to go through

0:55:32 > 0:55:34the excruciating agony of ironing those wrinkles out.

0:55:34 > 0:55:36But, Mother, you've just got to listen to me.

0:55:36 > 0:55:38Well, of course, darling.

0:55:38 > 0:55:41Who else is there for you to bring your little worries to but Mother?

0:55:44 > 0:55:46Well...

0:55:46 > 0:55:49The first thing is, I want to leave Crockett Hall.

0:55:49 > 0:55:51- You see, I... - I know. I know all about it.

0:55:51 > 0:55:52Miss Van Alstyne wrote me.

0:55:52 > 0:55:55Oh, Virginia, how can you forget what you are,

0:55:55 > 0:55:56and for what you stand,

0:55:56 > 0:55:58so far as to fall in love with a waiter?

0:55:58 > 0:56:00A common waiter!

0:56:00 > 0:56:02He isn't a waiter. He's an intern in a hospital.

0:56:02 > 0:56:03He waits in a hotel, doesn't he?

0:56:03 > 0:56:05Well, yes, but that's just...

0:56:05 > 0:56:07Oh, well, then, he's a waiter.

0:56:07 > 0:56:09I was going to ignore the entire matter,

0:56:09 > 0:56:11but you'd drag it into our home and force an issue?

0:56:11 > 0:56:12Very well, Virginia.

0:56:12 > 0:56:15I'm going to turn the whole thing over to Miss Van Alstyne,

0:56:15 > 0:56:18and I'm not going to let you come to town any more.

0:56:18 > 0:56:21You'll see if your father doesn't say I'm right.

0:56:23 > 0:56:25Frank. Frank.

0:56:25 > 0:56:27What?

0:56:27 > 0:56:28Come in here a minute, please.

0:56:32 > 0:56:33Well, what's the matter?

0:56:33 > 0:56:35Virginia's in love with a waiter.

0:56:35 > 0:56:38So, is he a good waiter, Virginia?

0:56:38 > 0:56:40Oh, Frank!

0:56:40 > 0:56:42Are you going to take this thing seriously or not?

0:56:42 > 0:56:44Why should I? I'm not in love with him.

0:56:44 > 0:56:47Doesn't your own flesh and blood mean anything to you?

0:56:47 > 0:56:49Suppose she should elope with this...this...

0:56:49 > 0:56:51- Waiter.- ..waiter.

0:56:51 > 0:56:54Oh, Mother, he hasn't even asked me to marry him.

0:56:54 > 0:56:56It's no wonder you always have bronchitis,

0:56:56 > 0:56:59yelling about things that have no intention of ever happening.

0:56:59 > 0:57:01Frank, just a minute.

0:57:01 > 0:57:03- Well?- You haven't heard all of this, not by any means.

0:57:03 > 0:57:05- No?- She refuses to go back to Crockett Hall.

0:57:05 > 0:57:08Well, supposing she does, you were the one who wanted her to

0:57:08 > 0:57:09go there in the first place.

0:57:09 > 0:57:11Why, I'm sure I do not know,

0:57:11 > 0:57:14when there are schools and colleges that'd give her a decent education,

0:57:14 > 0:57:18but you insisted, so it's up to you to talk her into going back again.

0:57:18 > 0:57:21You can't put the responsibility of our daughter's entire future on me.

0:57:21 > 0:57:24Now, look here, Helen, the only responsibility you have in the world

0:57:24 > 0:57:25is to be a reasonably good mother to that kid

0:57:25 > 0:57:29during the few months when she's home from school.

0:57:29 > 0:57:32And let me tell you something else, if you don't stop hectoring me

0:57:32 > 0:57:34about every unimportant detail in this household,

0:57:34 > 0:57:37from the butler's halitosis to Virginia's school,

0:57:37 > 0:57:40there's going to be a waiter in this family all right,

0:57:40 > 0:57:41and it's going to be me,

0:57:41 > 0:57:43and you'll be out in the kitchen rustling pots and pans,

0:57:43 > 0:57:46for the market's in such shape that a man can't even go out to...

0:57:46 > 0:57:47Frank!

0:57:47 > 0:57:49..eat!

0:57:50 > 0:57:52Without losing his shirt.

0:57:54 > 0:57:56FABRIC RIPS

0:57:57 > 0:58:01And my advice to you, Ginny, is to do as you jolly well please.

0:58:09 > 0:58:12- I mustn't cry. I mustn't. - HELEN SOBS

0:58:12 > 0:58:14- My make-up. - SHE SNIFFS

0:58:14 > 0:58:16I won't cry.

0:58:16 > 0:58:18I won't cry.

0:58:18 > 0:58:20Love is everywhere.

0:58:20 > 0:58:23- HELEN SOBS - Peace and contentment.

0:58:54 > 0:58:55Oh, Miss Weber,

0:58:55 > 0:58:58send Virginia Radcliff to me as soon as breakfast is over.

0:59:01 > 0:59:03I'll have my coffee now.

0:59:03 > 0:59:05BELL RINGS

0:59:08 > 0:59:11- Miss Weber. Oh. - Miss Weber, is there any mail?

0:59:11 > 0:59:14- Miss Weber, have you got something for me?- Miss Weber...

0:59:14 > 0:59:18Don't snatch, girls. Be quiet.

0:59:18 > 0:59:20- Ruth.- Yes.

0:59:20 > 0:59:22Is there anything for me, Miss Weber?

0:59:24 > 0:59:26Nothing today, dear.

0:59:26 > 0:59:28Florence,

0:59:28 > 0:59:29Elizabeth,

0:59:29 > 0:59:30Gertrude...

0:59:30 > 0:59:33I wonder if you'd look again. I'm sure there must be something.

0:59:33 > 0:59:35No, there's nothing.

0:59:36 > 0:59:37Oh, Virginia,

0:59:37 > 0:59:41Miss Van Alstyne wishes to see you in her office immediately.

0:59:42 > 0:59:43Oh, yes, Miss Weber.

0:59:46 > 0:59:48Ruth,

0:59:48 > 0:59:51Myrtle,

0:59:51 > 0:59:53Madeleine,

0:59:53 > 0:59:55Irma...

0:59:57 > 0:59:59Virginia, come in.

1:00:04 > 1:00:07Sit down and let me pour you a cup of coffee.

1:00:07 > 1:00:09Oh, no, thank you, Miss Van Alstyne.

1:00:15 > 1:00:17Now, tell me, dear, what's troubling you?

1:00:17 > 1:00:20Why, nothing. I'm all right. It's nothing.

1:00:20 > 1:00:22Oh, yes, it is.

1:00:22 > 1:00:24I've seen it and I've wanted to help you,

1:00:24 > 1:00:27but I was afraid you'd resent me.

1:00:27 > 1:00:29Let me help you.

1:00:29 > 1:00:30I'm sure I can understand.

1:00:33 > 1:00:36Well, I...

1:00:40 > 1:00:42It's nothing.

1:00:42 > 1:00:44- It's that Ralph McFarland, isn't it?- Oh, no.

1:00:44 > 1:00:47Has he been annoying you, dear?

1:00:47 > 1:00:49Why, no, I'm...

1:00:49 > 1:00:52On the contrary, I haven't heard from him for some time.

1:00:52 > 1:00:56Oh, so that explains the little heartaches.

1:00:56 > 1:00:57Well, you see, dear,

1:00:57 > 1:01:01no doubt he realises the impossibility of the whole thing,

1:01:01 > 1:01:04and he's taken the easiest way to tell you,

1:01:04 > 1:01:05and it's very fortunate,

1:01:05 > 1:01:07because in a few months your own good taste

1:01:07 > 1:01:10would have dominated over this infatuation.

1:01:11 > 1:01:16It'll probably be a little difficult for you, at first, to get over this,

1:01:16 > 1:01:19but I'm going to help you all I can.

1:01:19 > 1:01:21Thank you, Miss Van Alstyne.

1:01:21 > 1:01:22May I go now?

1:01:22 > 1:01:24Why, certainly.

1:01:26 > 1:01:28Oh, just a moment, Virginia.

1:01:32 > 1:01:34There is something I want you to do for me.

1:01:34 > 1:01:36I want you to go up and see Dr Hewitt.

1:01:36 > 1:01:40You've been looking badly of late and it's worried me.

1:01:40 > 1:01:41Oh, Miss Van Alstyne, I...

1:01:41 > 1:01:43Perhaps it's nothing at all.

1:01:43 > 1:01:44'Yes, Miss Van Alstyne?'

1:01:44 > 1:01:47Dr Hewitt, I'm sending Virginia Radcliff up to see you.

1:01:47 > 1:01:49'I'm sorry, Dr Hewitt went into the village.

1:01:49 > 1:01:50'She'll be back in about an hour.'

1:01:50 > 1:01:53Have her report to me immediately.

1:01:53 > 1:01:56You may go to your classes, Virginia. I'll send for you later.

1:01:56 > 1:01:58Yes, Miss Van Alstyne.

1:02:07 > 1:02:09Miss Weber, get Mrs Radcliff for me on the phone,

1:02:09 > 1:02:11and if you can't reach her,

1:02:11 > 1:02:13I'll talk to Mr Radcliff at his office.

1:02:13 > 1:02:15Oh, and, Miss Weber, keep your eye on Virginia.

1:02:15 > 1:02:18I may want to see her again in about an hour.

1:02:18 > 1:02:20Hi, Virgie! Where'd you go after breakfast?

1:02:20 > 1:02:21I was up at the room and...

1:02:22 > 1:02:24What's the matter?

1:02:24 > 1:02:27SHE SOBS Pony, I'm frightened.

1:02:28 > 1:02:30Tell me. Maybe I can help.

1:02:30 > 1:02:33Nobody can help. Nobody but...

1:02:33 > 1:02:34but Mac and...

1:02:34 > 1:02:36but he wouldn't see me.

1:02:36 > 1:02:38He hasn't even answered my letters and now they...

1:02:38 > 1:02:40Steady. Weber's watching.

1:02:42 > 1:02:43Snap out of it, kid.

1:02:43 > 1:02:45VIRGINIA INHALES

1:02:45 > 1:02:47Attagirl.

1:02:47 > 1:02:51Here comes Ruth and Madeleine. You go on to classes with them.

1:02:51 > 1:02:52I'll see you later.

1:02:52 > 1:02:53- Hello.- Hello.

1:02:53 > 1:02:55- What's the matter? - Oh, nothing, nothing.

1:02:55 > 1:02:57- Are you coming?- Yeah.

1:03:08 > 1:03:11Hello, may I speak to Dr McFarland, please?

1:03:13 > 1:03:15Hello, Mac, this is Pony.

1:03:15 > 1:03:17I'm calling about Virginia.

1:03:17 > 1:03:18What about Virginia?

1:03:18 > 1:03:22It isn't any of my business, but I thought you ought to know...

1:03:23 > 1:03:24What's that?

1:03:24 > 1:03:26What?

1:03:26 > 1:03:27I'm coming right out.

1:03:28 > 1:03:33And now I will dispose of Tolstoy and his works in a few brief words.

1:03:33 > 1:03:34If you will take notes on this,

1:03:34 > 1:03:38it will be sufficient for all conversational purposes.

1:03:38 > 1:03:40It will also save you the time and effort of

1:03:40 > 1:03:42reading the books yourselves.

1:03:42 > 1:03:47Anna Karenina is not only Tolstoy's best-known work,

1:03:47 > 1:03:50- it is also his most famous character portrayal...- (Virginia.)

1:03:50 > 1:03:53..that of a woman who abandoned herself to passion,

1:03:53 > 1:03:56defied convention,

1:03:56 > 1:03:59came face-to-face with her own soul,

1:03:59 > 1:04:03which mocked her with the harm she had brought upon herself and others,

1:04:03 > 1:04:09sought for a solution and found only one - suicide.

1:04:09 > 1:04:13Self-destruction was the only way out.

1:04:13 > 1:04:16Although the story does not advocate doing away with oneself,

1:04:16 > 1:04:19it does show, by taking the easiest way out,

1:04:19 > 1:04:23one often finds peace in death.

1:04:23 > 1:04:25Now, in War And Peace, we find...

1:04:25 > 1:04:27- We find... - Virginia's to come with me.

1:04:27 > 1:04:29- SHE MOUTHS - Certainly, Miss Weber.

1:04:29 > 1:04:32Virginia, you are excused to go with Miss Weber.

1:04:33 > 1:04:35Virginia.

1:04:35 > 1:04:37Virginia Radcliff!

1:04:37 > 1:04:39Oh.

1:04:39 > 1:04:41I beg your pardon, Miss Fisher?

1:04:41 > 1:04:44I said, Virginia, you are excused to go with Miss Weber.

1:04:45 > 1:04:47Oh. Oh, yes.

1:04:54 > 1:04:56Well, there you are, Virginia.

1:04:56 > 1:04:58That's all, Miss Weber. Thank you.

1:05:02 > 1:05:05You'll find a robe in here, my dear. Come along.

1:05:05 > 1:05:07We'll get this over in short order.

1:05:07 > 1:05:10Come on, there's nothing to be afraid of.

1:05:10 > 1:05:12- Stop this nonsense. Into the other room with you.- No.

1:05:12 > 1:05:13- It'll be over in a moment.- No.

1:05:13 > 1:05:16No, let me alone. I won't, I tell you! You can't make me!

1:05:16 > 1:05:18- I won't.- Stop it. - Get your hands off me.

1:05:18 > 1:05:21- Let me alone! I won't have it! - What's the matter?

1:05:21 > 1:05:23What are you afraid of?

1:05:23 > 1:05:25- Let me alone. - You'll do exactly as I say.

1:05:25 > 1:05:27- But, Miss Van Alstyne...- Dr Hewitt.

1:05:32 > 1:05:34Since the day you entered this school,

1:05:34 > 1:05:35you thought yourself too clever,

1:05:35 > 1:05:38too different to be bound by any responsibilities to society.

1:05:38 > 1:05:41Now you're afraid that we'll discover that you weren't clever -

1:05:41 > 1:05:44that you aren't different, merely cheap and vulgar.

1:05:44 > 1:05:46You can't talk like this to me.

1:05:46 > 1:05:50It wasn't cheap! It wasn't vulgar! I'm not ashamed.

1:05:50 > 1:05:51You're not ashamed?

1:05:51 > 1:05:53Of what?

1:05:53 > 1:05:55So that's it.

1:05:55 > 1:05:58You don't care that you've brought disgrace on this school

1:05:58 > 1:06:00for the first time in all its long history?

1:06:00 > 1:06:02School? This school?

1:06:02 > 1:06:05What? What, we don't matter, just the school?

1:06:05 > 1:06:08We're supposed to have nice manners so that...

1:06:08 > 1:06:09so that the school will be praised.

1:06:09 > 1:06:12We're put on our own just so the school won't be blamed.

1:06:12 > 1:06:16And if something should happen to us, why, I suppose...

1:06:16 > 1:06:19I suppose we should die rather than disgrace this precious school.

1:06:19 > 1:06:21Well, I don't care, do you hear?

1:06:21 > 1:06:23I'm glad I disgraced it! I'm glad!

1:06:23 > 1:06:25Perhaps you won't be so glad

1:06:25 > 1:06:27when you're turned out of here like a servant girl -

1:06:27 > 1:06:30when you hear that this McFarland boasts of an easy conquest...

1:06:30 > 1:06:33- Oh, stop, stop!- ..when others are whispering behind your back.

1:06:33 > 1:06:35Oh, please. Please, you've said all there is to say.

1:06:35 > 1:06:38Oh, no, there's much more to say.

1:06:38 > 1:06:39Miss Van Alstyne.

1:06:41 > 1:06:43- Mother!- Oh, Virginia, what have you done? How could you?
