Mama, it isn't even finished.

It is as far as
you're concerned, young lady.

This is hardly the way
to spend a Sunday morning

listening to a minstrel song.

It's Papa's favorite.
It's not mine.

I'm going to put it up here
out of your reach.

No, Mama I can pull the chair here,

step up here, and I've got it.

Hm-hm.

Well...

I'm going to put it up here,
on top of the book shelf.

I see.

How about there?

I haven't figured that out...
Yet.

Well, at least
you're an honest child.

Mother?

Mother?

Yes, Augusta?

When I get ready
may I go on ahead?

I have to meet
Stanley Henderson.

You can't go like that,
you're naked.

We're going to wait
for your father

and then we're all going
to church together

just as if we belong
to the one family.

Oh, mother, his train
might not even get here on time.

If it doesn't, Walter will call
from the station.

Walter?
Walter?

Yes, ma'am?

Isn't it time that you were
leaving for the station?

I was just going,
Mrs. Griffith.

Good.
Oh, Mama I'm all ready.

Can I go with Walter
to pick up Papa?

Please, Mama, please?
Can I, can I?

May I.
Please?

All right.

Weee! I'm going to pick up Papa!
I'm going to pick up Papa!

I'm going to pick up Papa!

She does get a little hysterical
at the mention of Papa,

doesn't she?

Now, stand up, there.

You see you keep
your dress clean.

Yes, Mama.

My little consolation prize.

Come on now.

We're going to pick up Papa,
we're going...

Slow down, child, or you'll use
yourself up before we get there.

Walter, does Papa own
the whole rail road?

No, he's just a superintendent.

Oh.

Being a superintendent is much
better than being the fellow

who owns the rail road.

It is?
Walter: Sure.

He gives out all the orders

and don't have to pay out
any salaries.

Walter,
what's a consolation prize?

A consolation prize?

Oh, that's just a

trifling no-account nothing

that someone gets
when they loses.

Do you think I'm a trifling
no-account nothing?

Not you, child, not you.

I bet neither does Papa.

How sweet it is.
Have a little booze, pal.

Ah, no more for me, I'm driving.

Oh, well how about you?
Oh, no thanks.

Then, in the case
of that thought

I'll just drink a little toast

to the best emergency crew
on the moonstar railroad.

Still got a little left.
I'll make it one for the road.

Well...

Looks like we're gonna be
in grainseville on time.

I promised the family
I'd go to church with them

this morning.

Well, I could slow her up

or head off
into the next siding.

Or drive into a creek
or something?

No, no, no.

It's about time I started going to church again

I'm a big boy now.

Got my library card
and everything.

I used to go
all the time, you know.

I didn't mind it at all.

But then after...

Hey, there's Corrie!

Well, fellas,
thanks for the whistle.

Hiya, sweetheart!

Gosh, did I miss you!

Did you, Papa?
Did you really?

You know you're just like
all the other females,

in desperate need
of reassurance.

I promise, while I was away

I didn't even think of
any other girl of six but you.

Oh, Papa, you're wonderful.

When I'm around you,
I think I am.

How are you, Walt?
How are you, Mr. Griffith?

Say you do look lovely
in that little white ensemble...

Morning, Mr. Griffith,
back for a while?

Well, until the next
emergency, Bert.

Before we go any further,

it's time for
our history lesson.

Now, what is today,
July 3th, famous for?

You're going to church.

Besides that.

I don't know, Papa.

There you go.

You forgot to look
at the calendar

before coming out of the house.

Now on July 8th 1779 the British
burned Fairfield, Connecticut.

You know, Augusta came
into the living room

almost naked.

I'm afraid my history lessons
are lost on you, Corrie.

I think you're a trifle
more basic.

Now you wait here while Papa
goes in and sends his report.

Morning, Mr. Griffith,
everything go well?

Well, I'd say fair.
What?

Send this to the main office
at Fort Worth.

Wreck at Sidden's Landing.

Two freight cars
and one flat car derailed.

Track clear,
traffic proceeding normally.

Hey, Mr. Griffith,

look at the apple of your eye.

Corrie, get down from there!

You get down from there
right away!

That was right away,
wasn't it, Papa?

Now what is your poor mother
going to say

when she sees that dress.

Maybe if I don't turn around.

You know who's gonna get blamed
for this, don't you?

I'll tell her the truth

mother knows
I'm an honest child.

Never mind, I'll take the rap,
I'm bigger than you.

Now, I'll cover you
from the back

when you get into the house

you run up to your room
and take your dress off.

Thank you, Papa.
Oh, it's really nothing

you only get one to five
as an accessory.

Good morning.

Now let's get right back
into the car,

we're late for church.

Nice to see you, dear.
Thank you.

Hello, Papa.

Miss Corrie,
what happened to your dress?

Turn around.

Well young lady?

A funny thing happened to us
down at the station,

I was holding Corrie
in my arms...

Mother, I slid down
the coal chute.

With no help from your father?

No, I did it all by myself.

You really look a mess, Corrie,
when are you gonna grow up?

Never!
I've seen what it's done to you.

Now that's enough of that.

You go right into the house
and have Ellie give you a bath.

Can't I stay home with her?
After all,

that's a large bath tub,
she's liable to drown.

She's a very strong swimmer.

We are going to church

and Corrie is going to say
her prayers at home.

I'll only pray for Papa.

I think that's a very good idea.

Now you go.

Can't we wait for Corrie
to take a bath?

We'll only be
a few minutes late.

Oh, father, we have
to be there on time.

I have a young man waiting
for me at the church steps.

Only one?
Hm!

Hardly seems worthwhile
to make the trip.

Besides, mother has to
play the organ

at the services.

Your father seems to have
forgotten about that.

You two are up to it again.

Up to what?

Cutting Corrie out,
excluding her from the family.

Jack, you talk such nonsense!

It's just a feeling I get

whenever I see the two of you
gang up on her.

I admit I could be wrong.

After all I voted
for William Jennings Bryan.

Three times.

It's no use trying to discuss
anything with you.

You just turn everything
into a joke.

That's how I find things.

Well, I haven't got the same
escape that you have.

You've been in this condition
more and more often.

I am not in that condition.

If I were I would have slid
down the coal chute with Corrie.

And you'd be taking a bath too.

And you wouldn't need to go to church.

It's a wonder you didn't do it.

I didn't think of that.

Walter, I have told you again
and again not to come this way.

Just looking at that house
makes me physically ill.

Imagine anybody having
the bad taste

to paint their house
that awful color.

I admit it's a little nauseous
at this time of the morning,

but at sunset it does have
a pretty effect.

It's original anyway.

I'd be eternally grateful

to anyone who would do something
about that terrible house

up to and including burning it
to the ground.

Father, if we're so late
to church

that Stanley Henderson III
doesn't wait for me,

I'll... I'll not forgive you
till my dying day.

Step on it, Walter,
we have two heathens

who are in desperate need
of salvation.

Good morning, ma'am,
good morning, Augusta.

I'm sorry I'm late, Stanley.
Oh, that's all right.

At least I won't have to wait
till my dying day.

I'll sit with Augusta.

Suit yourself.

Good morning.
Good morning, Amberlyn.

Good morning, Stanley.

You can take your hands
out of your pocket, Stanley,

the collection plate won't be
around for another half hour.

How would you even know
they have one?

Good morning, Amberlyn.

How do you do, Dr. Elkins?

I found this lost sheep

wandering around
the neighborhood.

Congratulations.

Now you'd better get
to the organ.

Well, it's been a long time,
Jack.

Yes, it has, it has.

I haven't missed
any of your sermons,

Amberlyn repeats them
at home word for word,

especially the fire
and brimstone type.

I think she's a little worried
about my soul.

Aren't you?

Well I have other problems
like keeping the trains on time.

Where's little Corrie?
She following in your footsteps?

No, she's at home,
praying for my soul too.

I've got so many people
praying for my soul,

anything I do personally
would be an anti-climax.

Mr. Griffith,
would you buy a raffle

for the church for 50 cents?

Now what would I do
with a church if I won one?

Jack, this is for the benefit
of the church fund.

Are you coming?

No, no, I...
I just thought of an emergency.

I'll see you next Sunday.

Fortunately for you
I'm not a betting man.

You'll be missing a good sermon.

Ha ha, don't worry about that,
I'll hear it tonight.

Well, Mr. Loubie, how are you
this fine Sunday morning?

Busy, Mr. Griffith,
very busy.

Mr. Loubie, I'd like you
to have the pleasure

of purchasing the last ticket
on a very unusual raffle.

Raffle?
Not interested.

Oh, but this raffle
was organized

by the railroad brotherhood,

for little tots left homeless
by train accidents.

Now you couldn't turn down
a cause like that?

Watch me.

But the tickets
are only 50 cents.

Oh, I know it's a real bargain,

but I think I'll have to
turn it down.

Uh, in view of the fact
that this is the last ticket,

I have been given the authority
to reduce the price to 25 cents

and my daughter, Corrie,
will draw the winning ticket

right here.
I have no change.

Don't worry about that,
Mr. Loubie,

I personally
will lend you a quarter.

There's the quarter
and here is your ticket.

Would you please draw?

I never win in a raffle anyhow,
number seven.

Number seven.

See what did I tell you?

Number seven?
That's me, I won.

You really couldn't lose
Mr. Loubie, because...

Here's the quarter
you loaned me.

Thank you.
Now, what's the first prize?

Oh-ho-ho-ho,
now for the big moment.

Incidentally,
the contents of this envelope

were sealed and unseen
by any human eyes

since slipped within
by a blindfolded

justice of the supreme court.

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh.

What is it, Mr. Griffith,
what is it?

Oh, Mr. Loubie,
you're gonna be thrilled

by this first prize.
What is it?

It's a complete paintjob
on your house, free and clear.

A paintjob?

Everybody in town's been
trying to win this.

Well, I guess
it's worth a quarter.

Now what color
would you suggest?

Oh, same color we got now,
just touch it up a bit.

Oh, uh, I'm afraid that
we couldn't possibly match that.

Well how about aquamarine?

Orange?

Yellow?

What colors do you have?

Ah, the raffle committee says
a beautiful ivory white,

this is used exclusively
by the country club set.

White...

Well, just go ahead
and have it painted.

I'm sorry I got mixed up
in the whole thing.

I just don't know
what's happened to Walter.

He always picks us up
after church.

It's a lovely day for a walk.

Mm-hm, and Mr. Griffith will
have some explaining to do too.

Papa?

My father's right
about your father,

He tipples.

As far as I am concerned,
Stanley,

your father can go climb a tree.

Seems like that would be one
of your father's specialties.

I'm sorry you caught me
spending my time like this

on the sabbath but Mr. Loubie
just won a raffle.

And first prize
was painting his house?

I figured that was better than
burning it down to the ground.

I love you, Jack Griffith.

I think Mr. Loubie and I
are two very lucky people.

Mr. Loubie wasn't so lucky,

every ticket had number seven
on it, he couldn't lose.

Well that's what happens
when you hire cheap labor,

they talk too much.

You look as though you're ready
for another bath, young lady.

I haven't taken
the first one yet, mother.

Well, all right.

You're not angry at me?

No more than George's mother

when he told her
about the cherry tree.

See you later, darling.
All right, sweet heart.

Back to work.

Come in, Father, come in.

Folks, I'd like you all to meet
my father, Anthony Ghio,

Mayor of Texarkana.

How do you do, everybody?

Now I'm sure we'd all
appreciate a few words?

Of course, of course.

Last time your grandfather
restricted himself

to a few words,
he was six months old

and his mother stuck a bottle
in his mouth.

Dear friends of Grangeville,

it's a constant pleasure
to come to your beautiful city

and spend a few days
with my daughter

and my two lovely grandchildren.

Notice how he left me out?

And it is also interesting
to see my son-in-law,

Jack Griffith,
every once in a while.

I liked it better
when he left me out.

But this party is not
for family reminiscences, no,

nor should I squander my, uh,

charming political personality

on citizens who are not
eligible to vote for me.

That reminds me of a story...

Er, Father, Father...
There was... um... Oh, yes.

Sit here, Mr. Ghio.

No, no, I'll just sit back here
out of the way,

thank you so much.
Thank you.

Everybody, miss Freda Summers
will now sing, "Rose of Tralee".

Papa, will you sing
Bill Bailey later?

My agent couldn't book me in.

Hi, Norman.
Hello, Mr. Griffith.

Gallon of ice cream, strawberry.

Yes, sir, right away.

You want me to mix it up
with a little vanilla?

No, just strawberry.
Yes, sir.

What is the matter with you?

Well, Mr. Griffith,
today is the day

Joan ought to be having
that baby any minute now.

Oh, oh.
Well, what are you doing here?

Oh, it's all right,
I'll get a report.

We don't have a telephone
but old doc Wright,

he's gonna wave a handkerchief,

two waves if it's a girl
and one if it's a boy

and the Wilson's
will call me here.

Uh, boy or a girl?
Huh?

No, he's not in the store.

Yes, I'll tell him goodbye.

Yes, honest, I'll tell him,
please, goodbye!

Norman, you should be home.

Why didn't Cosgrove
give you some time off?

Oh, he had to go home for lunch.

Look, you go ahead
and I'll fill in for you

till he gets back.

Oh, Mr. Cosgrove
would kill me.

A husband should be
with his wife

at a time like this.

Are you sure you have time,
Mr. Griffith?

Oh, don't worry about that,
there's still three tenors

and a coloratura on the program.

You can have a large family
before they finish.

Well thank you, Mr. Griffith,
thank you.

Go ahead.

Anyone here?

Well...

What can I do for you, sir?

A penny's worth of jelly beans.

A penny's worth of jelly beans.

Huh, there doesn't seem to be
any jelly beans.

You see the trouble is
they've been shifting...

Are you new or something?

As a matter of fact, I am.

Say...
Would you do me a favor?

What?

You see I gotta make
some banana splits,

and I'm a little
out of practice,

now if I made one,
would you eat it?

I don't have enough money.

Oh, don't worry about that,
sit right down, son.

You see today we have a special
on banana splits,

one penny.

Can I go get
my brothers and sisters?

Wait till you taste it
you might not like it.

Try that on for size.

You forgot the cherry.

Well I told you
I was out of practice.

Hi, Cosgrove.

There's one for your sister.

That's better,
here's your penny.

Penny?

Keep your shirt on, Cosgrove,
I'll make up the difference.

Where's Norman?

I sent him home to his wife.

Well he can stay there
as far as I'm concerned

he just lost his job.
Wait a minute,

you can't fire Norman. With a new baby,

and another mouth to feed.

Any law in the land says
I have to feed it?

How can you be so mean?
Because I enjoy it,

a man can't really do anything
well unless he enjoys it.

Let's go in the back
for a little cough medicine.

Not on me,
you don't have a drink!

I'll buy the bottle,
Diamond Jim.

Nothing like security.

Oh, pardon me.

And 49 cents for the triple
banana split.

Here's 50 cents,
I gave him an extra cherry.

You, uh... You didn't pour me even, Jack.

There you are, doctor.

Good luck.

Say...

Did you ever think
of selling this store?

Well, I might.

You can't get any decent help
around this town.

Now I have to look around for
somebody to take Norman’s place.

That'll be a kick
in the head for him.

You're a tough man
to get mellow.

You, uh, you thinking of buying?

Well, I got a little syndicate
lurking around

for a small investment.

You've got it
if I get the right price.

What do you consider
the right price?

How about that?

No, but I'll come down a little.

Tell you what, Cosgrove,

suppose we split the difference?
Ok, I'll be losing money,

but I don't want to use
any more of that pad.

Of course if we make a deal

I'd expect you
to hang around for a month

you know, so the new owner
gets things ship-shape.

I'd put that in the agreement.

Well, Cosgrove,

I think we could say
we got a deal.

Here's the ice tea.

Oh, how nice.

And the sandwiches
are in the icebox.

Thank you sweetheart.

Now then, dear,

I'll be back,
in two to three hours.

Don't rush, darling,
take your time.

Bye, bye Daddy.
Bye, sweetheart.

Now as to the notes
of our last meeting...

Feed the kitty.

Don't you ever bring
a full bottle?

Clear the court.

Gentlemen do you realize
on July 19th, 1848,

the first women's rights
convention

was held at Seneca Falls
in the state of New York.

The north is just the only place
they can get away with it.

Ever since that day
we men have been in trouble.

Women are running everything.

It's on account of women
that the drug stores

don't open on a Sunday morning.

No speeches, just shoot.

How sweet it is.
I let it ride.

Now, if we get a cold or a cough
and want a shot of medicine,

we have to wait
till Sunday afternoon.

But for the measly sum
of $500 each,

we can own that drug store
lock, stock and barrel

and it's the barrel
we're interested in.

Are you going to shoot?

Oh!

Ha ha, there it is again.

I should have let him
keep talking.

Well don't let it be lonely,
fill it up, fill it up.

Also for the measly sum of $500,

we'll each receive a
nice profit every month,

besides, each having
a private key,

in case we get thirsty
on a Sunday morning.

Mm, a key, sounds good to me.

Count me in.
Not me, not a chance.

I have more practical things
to do with my money.

You're covered.

You know my station agent's
been telling me

about those little train trips
you've been making to Waco.

I told him that
they were undoubtedly

for business purposes

and that girl you meet
every week up there

must be a close relative
like a cousin or something.

Come to think of it,

I've always wanted
to own a drug store.

Count me in.

I thought you'd feel that way.

How about you, Frank?

Sorry, not me.

Now, I never wanted
to bring this up but...

Remember you were filling out
that Bill of lading

for the insurance company
to get your settlement?

Now I wonder if they knew...
Count me in.

Me too before you start digging
in to my past, ho-ho!

How about you, Leopold?

I've never done anything
wrong in my life.

Except that once at the creek...

Ok, shoot, blackmailer.

I will pass out the keys
to my friends next week.

On with the game.

How sweet it is.

My partner, Mr. Keith,

will give you some passes
for the circus

in return for your graciousness.

There you are, young man,
two passes for you.

Thank you.
And two passes for you, sir,

thank you very, very much.

Now just a minute,

since you won't
be working here next week,

you won't be needing these.

Hello, Norman.
Hiya, Cosgrove.

Here's the paper,
here's the check.

Sign the paper
and the check is yours.

Norman, you are now
in full charge of the store.

Me?
Oh yes, uh,

my syndicate requires that they
receive 50% of the profits

for their investment.

The other 50% is yours.
Agreeable?

I can't believe it.

Now you can have all the babies
you wanna have.

50%, my goodness.

Oh yes, ah, there is another
little clause in the contract.

Mr. Cosgrove will stay on, for one month

and work under your supervision.

Well I guess you can't really
find good help in this town.

Well, I guess that's true.
But do the best you can.

You poor soul.

Oh, uh, Cosgrove.
What do you want?

Those passes for the circus,

I don't think
you'll have time to go.

Oh and clean up
the prescription counter.

It's a mess.

I want to talk to you, Jack.

Well, shall I drop everything?

Later will do, smarty boots,
let's get Corrie to bed.

What do you want to talk to Papa about?

She's my manager.

Young lady,

I'm going to be as honest
with you as you are with me,

it's none of your business.

Now you get down
and say your prayers

and then you get into bed.
Just a moment,

we will now have
our history lesson.

What is tomorrow famous for?

Washington went to Connecticut
to become general.

Pfff!
Not even close.

Wyoming made it to the union.
No chance.

I don't know, Papa.

The circus is coming

oh, Papa, can we go, can we go?

Ha ha ha, sure we can go.

Yes, well, now that's the end
of her sleep for tonight,

she'll be dreaming of giraffes.
Now you say your prayers.

God bless Mama, god bless Papa,
god bless Augusta,

god bless Walter and Ellie, good
night.

How about grandpa?

But he's back in Texarkana.
God looks over that city too.

God bless grandpa.

Goodnight, baby.

Good night, sweetheart.

And please, God, if you make
Mama happy with Papa,

I'll mind my own business,
thank you.

Jack, remember me?

Oh, yes, you wanted
to talk to me.

So that's what you did
with my cigars.

How much did you pay
for the drug store?

What drug store?
How much?

Well, I didn't buy it alone.

I happen to represent
a syndicate.

How much?

You see Fred thought
it would be a good idea

if we all chipped in,
I was against it.

I didn't want to be
the only one to hold out.

How much?

$500 a piece,
but we'll get it back.

Sure, in cough medicine alone.

This happened to be a very smart
business maneuver.

Every time you have
one too many,

you make a smart
business maneuver.

Are you through with me?
Yes.

Then I beg to be excused.

Sure, why don't you run down
to the drug store

and start liquidating
your investment?

Well, now, I just might do that.

Papa, pick me up.

Tell me what you see.

Wild animals,

ladies on horseback,

cowboy and Indians,

two elephants,

and oh, Papa!
What is it?

Oh my, the most beautiful
pony and cart I ever saw!

You must really like it
from the sound of your voice,

it went up two octaves.

Oh, Papa, if someone
ever bought that for me,

I'd never want another present
in my whole life.

Would you mind putting that
in writing, young lady?

Oh, Papa, don't make a joke
I love Tossy.

Who?

Tossy, that's the pony's name.

You've named her already?

Sure, when you love someone
very much,

you've got to call it by a name.

That's the quickest
love affair on record.

And when you're away on a trip,

I'd have someone to talk to.

What about Mama and Augusta?

Oh, they're always too busy,

besides I could do errands
for you

and Tossy could take me
to school.

You can't beat that
for a practical gift.

Then you mean
you'll get it for me?

It might warp your whole life
if I didn't.

Besides, 20 years from now

I wouldn't want you to blame
everything on your poor father

just because he refused
to buy you a pony

you could talk to.

Oh, pop, I love you,
love you, love you.

Where's the pony and cart?

Now, Corrie, there are other
wonders in this world

just look around,
look at all this.

I can't see Tossy.

Thank you.
Ok, up you go.

What about Tossy?
When do I see her?

Well, don't you wanna see
the bareback riders,

they're terrific
and the trapeze artists

are coming on soon.
I wanna see Tossy.

You're a railroad man's daughter
all right.

You've got a one-track mind.

Well, I'll look
for the circus owners.

Your father is about
to drive a hard bargain.

Please, Papa,
not too hard bargain.

You're right, I wouldn't want
Tossy to think she came cheap.

She might get a little sulky.

All right, hop up.

Now you sit right here
and I'll be right back.

Who do you think that is?
Oh-oh, could be the sheriff.

Nah, he doesn't come around
till about the second day.

Besides he's too fancy.

Hey, you don't think it could be
anyone with good news, do you?

Not a chance.
But we might as well find out.

Such terrible trouble now,
nothing else could happen.

All right, what do you want?
Are you a kicker?

Or a rube with a paper
up his sleeve.

Well, your language

is very fascinating

but I'm afraid
I don't understand you...

All right, pal, now are you
or are you not a process server?

Oh, no, my name's Jack Griffith.

I'm a railroad man.

I came here
to make an arrangement

with the circus owners
for their financial benefit.

Are you Harvey and Keith?
We ain't saying.

I'm Harvey and this is Keith.

Why don't you step inside
and have a drink?

Thank you.

What are you doing...
Financial benefit, you idiot.

Well, looks like
somebody's having a good time.

Oh, Papa, he ate fire
and cooked a chicken.

Wonderful!

Say, uh, didn't you want a pony?

Yes.
And didn't you want a cart?

Uh-huh.

Well, you have
a pony and a cart.

Oh, thank you, Papa!
Thank you!

I'll never want another present
in my whole life.

I hope not.

You know the owners
wouldn't sell the pony

and the cart by itself,
I had to buy the whole circus.

I just want Tossy and the cart.

You can keep the rest of it.

Thank you.
I sure hope that pony can talk.

Let's go get her.

Well, I promised Mr. Harvey
and Mr. Keith

that I'd keep mum
about the whole deal

for at least 24 hours.

Yeah, we wanna break the news
to our kinkers in our own way.

Kinkers are what
they call the people

who work in a circus.

How do we know we can trust
the kid to keep quiet?

I wouldn't worry
about that if I were you.

Can I see my pony now?
Sure, sure. Follow me.

Oh, Tossy!
You're all mine.

We'll have such fun together.

Well, I guess
it was a bargain at that.

We can take her home now,
can't we, Papa?

The pony goes with the works
when it's paid for.

You see the money to make
the purchase is in the bank

and the bank doesn't open
until tomorrow

and they have another show
and another parade tomorrow

and they need Tossy
to advertise it.

Well tomorrow it'll be my pony,

and I want to ride her
in the parade.

It'll be perfectly all right.

I mean, as soon as
the deal goes through.

I suppose, uh,
I'll own these too?

You know I always wondered
what it would be like

to own an elephant.
Now I own two of them.

They don't take any care at all.

Nope, all you gotta do
is feed 'em.

I never thought of that.
They never lay down to sleep.

They rock and eat, eat and rock,

take on better than
a hundred pounds a day.

Each?

Sure.
Will you shut up.

100 pounds a day.
I never figured on that.

Just hay, hay is cheap.
Just hay?

Well, you don't have to buy
grass when you can find it.

Don't forget people
feed 'em all the time,

apples, peanuts, sugar candy,
they'll eat anything.

But 100 pounds a day,

people would have
to feed them people.

They aren't any more are there?

No, just these two.
Oh, they never touch meat.

The way things are going
I'm not likely to touch it

for quite some time either.

Well, see you at the bank
in the morning bright and early.

A hundred pounds a day. Each.

That's 36,500 pounds a year.

And all on account of a pony.

Oh, you'll get to love Tossy
as much as I love her.

Oh I'm madly in love
with her now.

Let's hurry home, Papa,
I'm hungry.

You'd better get used
to that, Corrie.

Beginning tomorrow we have
two of the largest mouths

in show business to feed.

Now we don't wanna get caught
so eat quietly.

Mama told me
to chew my food well.

Then we've reached an impasse.
Chomp away.

Who's in there?

Nobody but us chickens.

And one of the chickens
is starving to death.

She's had a long day
at the circus.

I've been worried.

The circus has been over
for hours.

Well, I had no way
to get in touch with you.

Didn't you give her anything?

She's eating like a...
Like a young elephant.

No Mama, an elephant
eats 100 pounds a day.

Mostly grass.

Don't talk while you're eating,
even when you're not eating.

I think she has a fever.
Just look how flushed she is.

And look how flushed you are.

It's my natural coloring,

I spent a lot of time outdoors.

I know that flush.
That flush comes from indoors.

Now come along, young lady,
you've had enough.

I'm gonna put you to bed.

I'll get an apple,

for Tossy.

And who is Tossy?

Oh, it's a new little friend
of Corrie's.

She's going to walk her
to school every day.

Very cute too.

Has big grey eyes,
long pony tail.

Goodnight, Papa.

I'll say a special prayer
for you tonight,

because you're
the smartest one of all.

Out of the mouth of babes
comes sheer nonsense.

Better make up your mind soon
the carpet's beginning to go.

Are you sure you know
what you're doing, Jack?

I certainly do,

so take your hands
out of your pockets

and start counting.

Well I thought
that drug store transaction

was pretty simple minded,
but this takes the cake.

Why are you buying a circus?

I happen to be madly in love
with the coochie dancers.

It is a wonder Amberlyn
doesn't have you committed.

That's because she is madly
in love with me.

Now will you please
give them the money?

It'll be all right, Henry.

Ah, thank you Mr. Griffith,
and, ah, see you at the circus.

Oh, we think
the elephant's pregnant.

Well you're over 21,
but my son isn't.

Well now what is that supposed
to mean, your son isn't?

It means that a father can still
influence his offspring

in the choice of family
he might marry into.

You listen to me laughing gas,

there's two sides to that coin.

And when the profits from
that circus start to roll in

I might put them
in another bank.

I hope you'll be happy
with your coochie dancer,

Mr. Griffith.
Thank you Stanley.

Don't forget,

he thinks the elephant
is pregnant.

If it's a boy
I'll name him after you.

Well, I guess
there's nobody in there.

Oh, uh, pardon me, sir,
uh, ma'am,

could you tell me where
I might find Mr. Harvey?

Why?

Well I'm supposed to meet him
here at the head of the parade.

Went to town this morning with Keith.

I know that I met him there

and did a little business
with him.

But he was supposed
to be back here.

Hold on.

Sparrow!

Talk to this guy, will ya?

I'm in charge here what's the trouble?

Well, there's no trouble,
I'm looking for Mr. Harvey.

Well that usually spells
trouble he's not around

you better go back to town
and hunt him.

Oh, look for some beautiful
dames you'll find him.

Let's get the parade moving!

No, the parade
can't start without us,

it mustn't start!

Well, I'm afraid
it'll have to, young lady.

Papa, do something!
Just a minute.

This parade doesn't start
until I say so.

What were you saying
about this parade not moving?

Wait a minute, you people
are getting the wrong idea.

I happen to be
the new owner of this circus.

What?

Well didn't Mr. Harvey tell you?
No.

Well here are the papers.

Oh, it looks legal all right.

Oh, don't worry about that,
it's legal,

and my daughter, Corrie,
has her heart set

on riding that pony and cart
during the parade.

Well, let's not hold up
the parade it's getting late.

What are you standing around?!

Go with your daddy.

Ok, Leo, out,
and get in the back wagon.

Get in, honey.

We'll talk this over later
in the cook tent

while we're having some grub.
That's ok with me.

Well, here we go.

Well hold her down, Lou,
hold her down!

Step up front, mister,
step up front.

Now do you think Tossy
will be strong enough

to pull the both of us?
She better be.

After all the trouble
you've been through for her.

You could have fooled me,

I thought I went through
all this trouble for you.

Let's move it out, mister.
Move it out.

I'd like to speak to Mrs.
Griffith, please.

Why Mr. Henderson, how nice.

Amberlyn, I didn't want
to intrude

while you were having
your friends for tea...

Well, come on in

and have some with us.

Oh, no, thanks, no, thanks,
I just thought, uh...

There is something
you ought to know.

Mm-hm,
you'll know it in a minute.

I suppose he's in that delicate
condition again?

Oh, mother, in front of
Stanley's father

and all your friends.

Do you know about that
drug store madness?

Well, this folly he took on
all by himself,

he owns the circus.

Augusta, what am I going to do?

Faint, mother, faint.

Get some water, somebody.
Help me get her inside.

That's Pete,

he's always playing up
to the owner of the circus,

I guess he got the word on you.

I wonder what he's bucking for.
You suppose he wants my job?

Maybe he wants to become
a partner?

Nah, he's to smart for that.

Did you see Harvey
anywhere in town

while the parade
was going through?

No, isn't he here?

He promised to run
the circus for me,

that's a fine way
to run a circus.

Oh, will you get lost, Pete,

don't you see
this fella's in trouble?

Trouble?
Oh, quiet, sparrow.

Mind your own business.

I feel sorry for the poor guy,
he's really been took.

You know,
I'm just starting to get it.

No, you got it.
Did you give him a check?

No, they insisted on cash.
Oh.

They didn't dream about girls
when they went to bed,

they dreamed about
someone just like you.

All right, petey, that's good.

I guess they didn't bother
to tell you

the show carried
over 20,000 in mortgages?

And they're way overdue
and just about to be called in.

Let's stop worrying
about mortgages

and start doing a little talking
about back salaries.

Back salary?
All right, Pete.

And you're the new owner,

and what are you
going to do about it?

Well, I could climb up
on a high wire and end it all,

but for some reason rather
I feel sorrier

for Harvey and Keith
than I do for myself.

I don't understand you,
Mr. Griffith,

aren't you gonna get the law
on those two grifters?

No, I don't think so.

Whatever they're looking for
I don't think they'll find it.

Besides, they haven't even
got Pete now.

Go, Pete!

Hey, birthday time.

Happy birthday!

Happy birthday, dear.

This is very nice,
but it isn't my birthday.

You mean your father
bought you a circus

and it isn't your birthday?

No.
Now wait a minute!

Any time a father
buys his girl a circus,

that's her birthday!

Ladies and gentlemen,

since I am the new owner
of this circus

I feel that I should take care
of my obligations.

I'm going to make out a check

for the rest of the balance
I have in the bank,

I don't know whether
it will take care

of all of the back salaries,
but it's the best I can do.

♪ For he's a jolly good fellow,
for he's a jolly... ♪

Wait a minute, wait a minute,
wait a minute.

I don't wanna give you
the wrong impression,

I am not a jolly good fellow.
It just so happens,

that the fellow who owns
and runs the bank

is a mean, nasty old man.

And I'd rather not leave
my money in that bank.

There's the check.

Corrie, let's go home.

Come on, up to now it's been
a very long, unbelievable day.

Shouldn't we take some cake?

I don't think so

let's not get used
to the good life.

So long everybody.
So long.

Ho-ho, well, thank you, Pete.

What are we gonna do now, Papa?

Well, I guess it's time
to go home and face the music.

There might not be much music.

Well...

First I wanna make a stop.
At the drug store?

You know, there's a lot
of your mother in you.

Augusta?

Why are you crying?
What happened?

Oh, like you care!

Of course I care, what is it?

My life's over that's all.

Stanley's father
won't let him see me any more.

Well, that's the best news
I've heard today.

Of course, it hasn't been
such a good day.

Don't you understand
that this is the best thing

that could have happened to you?

Now if he really loves you,
nothing his father will say

will keep him
from coming around.

You know, your mother's father
didn't want me around either.

She mentioned that
several times today,

after Mr. Henderson
told her about

how you bought that circus.
Aha!

I promise you father, if I
can't see Stanley any more...

I know you won't forgive me
until your dying day.

Corrie, you better
go home with her

she's liable to try
something desperate

like tearing my pictures
out of the family album.

I think mother's
done that already.

Walter.

What's going on here?

Walter, will you please
tell Mr. Griffith

that we are going to my father's

and that Ellie will see
to his needs here.

Mrs. Griffith says she's...
I heard, I heard.

Amberlyn, will you please
let me explain.

I don't wanna go.

I don't wanna leave
Papa and Tossy.

Father, you have ruined my life.

Will you come to your senses?

Walter, what are you
waiting for?

Can I go and kiss Ellie goodbye?

Nobody's kissing anybody,
goodbye, just drive, please.

How about a belt?

Don't look at me like that.

So I bought the kid
a pony and a cart.

What's so excruciating
about that?

You know, she's your baby too.

All right...

So I'm impulsive,
expulsive, repulsive, pulsive.

Oh, you beautiful doll,

you miserable soul.

What's happened to us?

We used to have fun together.

Whenever I did anything crazy
you'd start laughing.

Remember the time at the picnic

when I put the sack
over Mrs. Bonetti's head?

You fell down laughing.

That was the 4th of July
picnic, remember that?

Later on we went down
to the river

and we watched the fireworks.

Just you and I.

What happened to us?

It's like you never left.
You still won't talk to me.

What's going on down there?

Oh, hello, Mr. Griffith.

We just ran out of grass
up at the fairground.

Is this all right?

Maybe grass ain't the answer.

A pregnant elephant might want
some ice cream and pickles.

100 pounds a day.

I'm gonna end up
with a fat elephant.

First time I ever ended up
with two empties.

Thank you, Walter,

and now will you go
and help the girls

with their things please?
Yes, ma'am.

I must say, father,

you don't seem
to make us very welcome.

Well, what do you expect?

Descending on a man
like a gypsy caravan,

flowers and candy?
Of course you're welcome.

I never understood how
you tolerated that buffoon

for the last 15 years.

18 years.

And we could go and stay
with aunt Harriet in Houston.

Oh, stop talking like

either one of your children.

It's just that you arrived
a couple of days

before an election, that's all.

My campaign manager
tells me I'm going to lose.

Oh, father, you never
lose an election.

That's what I told him.

But he says I've got to stoop
to modern methods now,

I've gotta start kissing babies

and giving away free beer
and hot dogs,

and shaking hands with people.

I'd just like to see that.

I have been mayor of Texarkana
for eight years

on a simple platform,
Texas for Texans.

And if they don't like it

they can go across the street
to Arkansas.

None of this nonsense about all
men are created free and equal.

If they were so free and equal

let 'em shake hands
with each other.

That's the spirit, father!

You'll give us back
to England again yet.

Now, don't you get sarcastic
with me, young lady,

just because you can't
hold on to your husband.

Now what did I say?
What did I say to...

Oh, nobody understands me.

It's a good thing
women can't vote,

we'd be worse off
than we are now. I...

Nice to have you back, honey.

Please, Ellie, you'd better talk
to Mr. Griffith,

otherwise we'll never get home.

Oh, what's wrong now?

Nobody's talking to nobody down here,

the children are crying,

Mrs. Griffith locks herself
in her room,

and if Mr. Ghio
don't win this election,

things are gonna get worse.

You've got to talk
to Mr. Griffith,

he might know what to do.

But, Walter, Mr. Griffith
is in that condition again.

Honey, that's where he gets
his best ideas.

Oh, I gotta hang up now.

And there's never been a man
in the history of Texas,

and Texas has had a long
and illustrious history,

who has done more for the town
than our incumbent mayor,

Anthony Ghio.

I feel that all of you
good people are in my family,

and if there's anyone within
the sound of my voice,

that hasn't met my Katie
or my children,

I want y'all to come up
to the house

and have a Sunday dinner
with us.

And now, for the third time,

our honorable mayor is appealing

to the decent citizens
of Texarkana for their votes.

Without succumbing to
the low tactics of his opponent

who is procuring his votes
by giving things away.

Giving things away!

What did you ever get from Ghio?

Nothing!

But I promise you
if I am elected mayor,

I promise you from the
bottom of a big Texas heart,

that I'll listen
to my neighbor's opinions,

both big and small.

I think grandpa better start
giving things away.

You be quiet, young lady.

And now good friends, folks,
good friends of Texarkana,

it is now my extreme
privilege and pleasure

to introduce our candidate,
the Julius Caesar of Texas,

Anthony Ghio.

You just got here in time
for the decline and fall

of the Roman empire.
No chance?

The ides of march are upon us,
Caesar should have stood in bed.

My friends of Texarkana,

if you want to get
your babies kissed,

if you don't care what happens
to this beautiful city,

if you don't...

Vote for Ghio!

A vote for Ghio
is a vote for progress!

Come on and join the Ghio
bandwagon!

Vote for Ghio!

Vote for Ghio!
Everybody welcome!

Vote for Ghio!

You're all invited, come one come all,

enjoy the circus
and eats for nothing.

You're all guests
of the voter's friend,

mayor Ghio!

Vote for Ghio!

Papa!
Corrie, come on, get in.

I knew you would come,
I knew you'd come.

If I had as much confidence in me as you,

I'd run for mayor myself.
I'd vote for you.

Yeah?

I wonder if your mother would.
Let's go there.

What a trick!

How did you happen
to think of it?

My son in law bought the circus
just for tonight.

Pretty smart, huh?

Speech! No, no, wait.

This is no time
for long-winded speeches.

So what do you say we all go
to the park

and get free ice cream
and free hot dogs?

I think I'll go
with grandpa, mother.

Where's Corrie?

In the pony cart with Papa,
on the Arkansas side.

So that's his plan.
He's kidnapping her,

he's taking her
across the state line.

I want Corrie.

Not as much as I do.

Remember, you're in Arkansas
now Amberlyn,

you try to get her back
without extradition.

You've been drinking?

Yeah, but I'll be sober
in the morning. Get up!

You come right back here!

Amberlyn, Amberlyn,
what happened?

My hand!

Help me, sparrow.

You can go in now, Mr. Griffith.
How is she?

There's some muscle damage
on the right hand,

oh, it'll be fine
for all normal purposes.

As far as playing the piano,
I don't think so.

You could be mistaken.

Well let's say that...
I have been.

Don't stay too long,
I've given her a sedative.

Amberlyn...

I'm sorry.

Don't be too sorry.
It was partly my fault.

Chasing that stupid pony cart.

I'll make it up to you,
I promise.

I thought that if we left you
for a little while...

It might bring you
to your senses.

Had the opposite effect.

Amberlyn,
you've gotta believe me.

I've had enough.

There's nothing I can say?

I've heard all the words.

And don't tell my father
about my hand,

I don't want to spoil
this day for him.

Can I go in and talk to Mama?

I don't think so, sweetheart,

the doctor gave her
some medicine.

Like the medicine
you take, Papa?

No, not exactly.

I don't feel like going back
to the circus, do you?

No, I don't either.

♪ My Bonnie lies
over the ocean ♪

He's making friends.
And votes.

Thanks, frank, here,
have a cigar, have a cigar.

Well, Jerry, have a cigar.

What happens to the circus now?

Oh, your son in law
will lose it.

Easy come, easy go.

But at least he made
two children happy.

What do you mean by that?

Well, Corrie got her pony,

and you're a cinch
to get yourself elected.

Y... huh?

Thank you...

Have a cigar.

That's the fourth time
he's shaken hands with me.

What do you think he wants?

Would lieutenant governor
be too much?

Have a cigar.

Have you got a letter
for me too?

I ran out of ink.
Have you been spying?

I sure have.

You remind me
of George Washington

saying farewell to his troops.

More like Sherman
retreating to the sea.

Too bad you're going,

I was just getting to the point
where I could tolerate you.

If I could believe that,
I'd stay.

So long.

Mother!

Where's Papa?

I looked everywhere.
He's not around.

He went away, darling.

Where'd he go?
Where'd he go?

Did he leave you a letter?

I got one too.

"Dear Augusta,"

take good care of your mother.

"Try to be as much like her
as you can."

"She's the sweetest
person I've ever known,."

Well then why did he go away?

Perhaps we...
We were both at fault.

I don't want any old letter,
I wanna be with Papa!

Now where is he?

I don't know, baby,

but when he's ready,
he'll let us know.

All we can do now is pray.

I'm not gonna pray again
until Papa comes back.

She's just a child,
she really doesn't understand.

She may understand.
Better than either of us.

Grandpa, please.

Please what?
Please find my Papa.

Oh, what are those?
Tears?

Ooh, my, my, my.

Young lady, I think you and I

had better have
a heart to heart talk, mm?

Do you see that picture
over the mantelpiece there?

Yes, sir.

Well that is the Ghio
family crest.

Yes, grandpa.

And do you see
the armored helmet,

with the three feathers
of royalty on top of the shield?

Yes, sir.

Well that means that the Ghios

were members of the knights
of the royal army of Tuscany

and no knight worthy
of his name ever cried.

No, sir.

No one of the house of Ghio
ever cries.

Yes, sir.

Now wouldn't you
like to carry on

the tradition of this

great and noble family?

Wouldn't you like to be
the most beautiful,

the most aristocratic and...
I want my Papa.

All right, we'll find your Papa.

Thank you, grandpa.

Somewhere in the United States,

he has a job with the railroad,
find him.

But, mayor, there must be
thousands of railroad lines

in continental America.

Well, that gives you lots
of places to look.

Goodbye.

Oh.

Mother, you're playing!

Corrie, what are you doing home
from school so early?

I spilt some ink on my dress,
but your hand is all better.

You can play.
Yes, Corrie.

Papa will be so happy
when grandpa finds him.

Papa isn't going to know,

and I didn't mean
for you to find this out.

But why not?
Does Augusta know?

She's older.
She can keep a secret.

A secret?

Corrie, you're six
going on seven.

I don't think that that's quite
old enough to be trusted.

I'm an honest child,
you said so.

A little too honest, sometimes.

Now, this is a secret
and if Papa comes back to us,

it has to remain a secret.

He must never, never know

that my hand is well enough
to play again.

He must not be told,
you understand?

No, he loves your music,

he'll be so glad
your hand's not broken.

I see that I'll have to explain
this more clearly.

When your father has had
too much to drink...

Medicine.

Well, we'll call it that
for the time being.

When he has too much medicine,

he does foolish things
and that keeps us apart.

Oh!

Well, now, if he doesn't know
that my hand is better,

there's just a chance

that he won't drink
the medicine any more

and then we can all
be together again.

Now do you understand?

I think so.

I'll keep it a secret,
but I think it's foolish.

Well you just indulge
your foolish old mother.

Now then,

I think it's about time we all
went back home to Grangeville.

And wait for Papa there?
Perhaps.

Oh, mother, I love you.

I don't care if

I am a consolation prize.

Now then, you just run upstairs
and get into a clean dress.

I can't understand why you're
all rushing off so quickly.

Well, we felt that
we'd overstayed our welcome,

practically as soon
as we got here.

I'll miss you, grandpa.
I'll miss you too, dear.

Your daughter seems all smiles
and cheerful for a change.

Yes, well, she received
a letter this morning.

From Stanley Henderson III,

he says he's gonna stand up
to his father.

Stanley Henderson II.
The second.

And see me whether
he likes it or not.

Aha, well, nothing's changed.

I remember when a daughter
of mine went with a young fellow

that I didn't approve of
and she stood up to me

whether I liked it or not,
15 years ago.

18 years ago.
All right, 18.

Goodbye.
Goodbye, father.

Goodbye, children.
Thank you.

All right, Walter,
have a good trip.

Goodbye.

Grandpa, don't just stand there,
start looking for Papa.

I've started, honey,
I've started.

Well, Mr. Ghio,

did your train
get on the wrong track?

No, the right one.

It's been a long dusty ride
though, I'll tell you that.

I'm a little parched.

Oh.

You're looking well.

Uhh, no thanks.

My cough has been cured
for good.

Oh!

I've... I’ve been talking to
the President of the railroad,

he tells me
you're doing a great job.

Is that so?

I could put you in touch with
my parole officer if you want.

You like ah, working here
in Louisiana, do you?

Ha ha, it's better
than wrestling alligators.

I suppose I could be
standing here all day

before you'd break down
and ask me,

but your family is fine,
they went back home.

They're waiting for you, Jack.

Which of the family
is waiting for me?

You're worse than I in my prime.

All right I'll give it
to you straight,

that little heathen Corrie,

practically made me
take an oath in blood

that I'd find you
and get you back to her.

It's a notion.

I could take a little train trip
on the weekend.

I get to ride free, you know?

I wouldn't want to miss
an opportunity like that.

Especially when you've got
someplace to ride to.

Yes, yes.

Well, in a case of that sort

I guess I ought to get
a lot of work done.

Good, good.

Uh, thank you very much
for dropping in.

All right.

Oh er, Pop?
Yes?

Don't alert the enemy
that I'm coming.

You don't think I want them
back on my hands, do you?

Son?

Oh, Pop...

Clear as a bell.

Corrie, will you come away
from that window

and sit down please?

Are you sure he's coming?

According to your grandfather,

who wasn't supposed
to alert the enemy,

he should be here by now.

Maybe he stopped off
at the drug store,

I'll go get him.
Now, Corrie, you sit down,

and don't get yourself
so worked up.

She didn't even touch
her breakfast this morning.

Neither did mommy.
I wasn't hungry.

There he is!
There's Papa!

Oh, please mommy, can I go
outside and bring him in?

No, he's old enough
to come in here by himself,

without any encouragement
from any of us.

Mommy, he's writing another letter.

That means he's going away.

Oh, mommy I love you,
he's coming in.

He's coming in!

But then he'll know your hand
is all better,

what about the secret?

I think it's a foolish secret.

Besides,

I learned about
honesty from you.

Looks like Bill Bailey
finally made it home.

Oh, let's hope he stays.
