<i>NARRATOR: It happened
that green and crazy summer</i>

2
00:01:58,685 --> 00:02:00,528
<i>when Frankie was 12 years old.</i>

3
00:02:01,688 --> 00:02:03,690
<i>This was the summer when,
for a long time,</i>

4
00:02:03,790 --> 00:02:05,861
<i>she had not been a member.</i>

5
00:02:05,959 --> 00:02:07,666
<i>She belonged to no club,</i>

6
00:02:07,761 --> 00:02:10,799
<i>and was a member of nothing
in the world.</i>

7
00:02:10,864 --> 00:02:13,140
<i>Frankie had become
an un-joined person,</i>

8
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:14,702
<i>and she was afraid.</i>

9
00:02:16,036 --> 00:02:18,346
<i>And there,
on the last Friday of August,</i>

10
00:02:18,438 --> 00:02:20,111
<i>all this was changed.</i>

11
00:02:20,173 --> 00:02:21,447
<i>It was so sudden,</i>

12
00:02:21,508 --> 00:02:24,216
<i>that Frankie puzzled
the whole blank afternoon.</i>

13
00:02:24,311 --> 00:02:26,052
<i>And still
she did not understand.</i>

14
00:02:33,887 --> 00:02:34,888
Are they cold enough?

15
00:02:34,988 --> 00:02:36,490
Just a minute!

16
00:02:36,556 --> 00:02:38,194
Yes, they're cold enough.

17
00:02:41,294 --> 00:02:42,864
And them other two drinks
is lemonade

18
00:02:42,963 --> 00:02:44,408
for you and John Henry.

19
00:02:45,232 --> 00:02:47,508
JARVIS: It seems to me
this old arbor has shrunk.

20
00:02:47,567 --> 00:02:48,841
I remember
when I was a child...

21
00:02:48,902 --> 00:02:50,848
Look! Mint juleps!

22
00:02:50,904 --> 00:02:52,349
Well!

23
00:02:54,741 --> 00:02:57,585
Happiness
to Janice and Jarvis.

24
00:02:59,413 --> 00:03:01,393
It was such a surprise
when Jarvis wrote home

25
00:03:01,481 --> 00:03:02,926
you were going to be married.

26
00:03:03,016 --> 00:03:04,518
I hope it wasn't
a bad surprise.

27
00:03:04,584 --> 00:03:05,892
Oh, heavens, no.

28
00:03:05,986 --> 00:03:09,524
As a matter of fact,
if only you knew how I feel.

29
00:03:09,589 --> 00:03:11,193
Frankie's been
bending my ears, Son,

30
00:03:11,258 --> 00:03:12,601
ever since
your letter came,

31
00:03:12,693 --> 00:03:16,038
going on about
weddings and brides.

32
00:03:16,096 --> 00:03:17,700
Papa!

33
00:03:17,764 --> 00:03:20,074
It's lovely we can be married
at Jarvis' house.

34
00:03:20,167 --> 00:03:22,374
MR. ADDAMS: it's what Jarvis'
mother would have wanted.

35
00:03:22,436 --> 00:03:24,609
FRANKIE:
Oh, it will be beautiful.

36
00:03:26,606 --> 00:03:29,177
Pretty soon we should be
pushing off for Winter Hill.

37
00:03:29,242 --> 00:03:30,846
I have to be back
in barracks tonight.

38
00:03:30,911 --> 00:03:33,551
Winter Hill is such
a lovely, cold name.

39
00:03:33,613 --> 00:03:36,116
It reminds me of ice and snow.

40
00:03:36,216 --> 00:03:39,720
Ice and snow! It was 102
at the base yesterday.

41
00:03:44,191 --> 00:03:46,137
Oh, that feels
so good!

42
00:03:47,060 --> 00:03:49,904
Sister-in-law.
Doesn't that sound wonderful?

43
00:03:49,963 --> 00:03:51,567
Yes, dear.

44
00:03:51,631 --> 00:03:53,201
You notice if you fix
your attention on the words,

45
00:03:53,266 --> 00:03:54,745
they begin to sound funny.

46
00:03:54,801 --> 00:03:57,407
Sister-in-law,
sister-in-law...

47
00:03:58,405 --> 00:04:00,407
Frankie's crazy.

48
00:04:00,474 --> 00:04:03,455
You should have seen
the letter she wrote to me.

49
00:04:03,543 --> 00:04:05,250
I wrote you
so many letters, Jarvis,

50
00:04:05,312 --> 00:04:07,258
and you never answered me.

51
00:04:07,314 --> 00:04:09,294
And I sent you so many boxes
of homemade fudge,

52
00:04:09,382 --> 00:04:10,952
but you never,
never answered me.

53
00:04:11,051 --> 00:04:13,088
Oh, Frankie,
you know how it is.

54
00:04:14,755 --> 00:04:16,257
I never saw
a human grow <i>so</i> fast

55
00:04:16,323 --> 00:04:18,098
as Frankie
in all my life.

56
00:04:18,158 --> 00:04:20,729
Last time I saw her
she was only up to here on me.

57
00:04:20,794 --> 00:04:22,774
I think maybe we ought
to tie a brick to her head.

58
00:04:22,829 --> 00:04:23,830
Jarvis, don't!

59
00:04:24,564 --> 00:04:26,271
Don't tease
your little sister like that.

60
00:04:26,333 --> 00:04:28,335
JANICE: Why, I don't think
Frankie's too tall.

61
00:04:28,435 --> 00:04:30,915
And she probably
won't grow much more.

62
00:04:30,971 --> 00:04:33,952
I had the biggest portion
of my growth by the time I was 13.

63
00:04:34,007 --> 00:04:35,918
But I'm just 12.

64
00:04:35,976 --> 00:04:38,354
When I think of all
the growing years ahead of me,

65
00:04:38,445 --> 00:04:39,685
I get scared.

66
00:04:40,447 --> 00:04:41,949
I wouldn't worry.

67
00:04:42,582 --> 00:04:43,754
You see,

68
00:04:44,518 --> 00:04:47,988
I never believed
in love until now.

69
00:04:51,024 --> 00:04:53,163
Where does the music come from?
It sounds so close.

70
00:04:53,260 --> 00:04:54,967
It is.
It's just behind us.

71
00:04:55,028 --> 00:04:57,975
They have club meetings
and parties with boys on Friday nights.

72
00:04:58,031 --> 00:04:59,339
Hey, there!

73
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:01,975
I watch them here
from the yard.

74
00:05:02,035 --> 00:05:04,709
It must be nice,
having your clubhouse so near.

75
00:05:04,805 --> 00:05:07,285
Well, I'm not a member now.

76
00:05:07,340 --> 00:05:09,650
But they're holding
an election this afternoon.

77
00:05:09,709 --> 00:05:11,814
JOHN HENRY: Frankie thinks
she'll be elected.

78
00:05:13,780 --> 00:05:15,623
I don't care
one way or the other.

79
00:05:19,119 --> 00:05:21,395
(ALL CHATTERING)

80
00:05:23,356 --> 00:05:25,029
Well, see you Sunday.

81
00:05:29,496 --> 00:05:31,407
Drive carefully, Son.
Good-bye, Janice.

82
00:05:31,498 --> 00:05:32,670
Good-bye.
Thanks, Mr. Addams.

83
00:05:32,732 --> 00:05:34,075
Bye, Janice.
Bye, Jarvis.

84
00:05:34,167 --> 00:05:35,908
JANICE: Good-bye,
Frankie, darling.

85
00:05:55,322 --> 00:05:56,995
I'd better go back
to the store, now,

86
00:05:57,057 --> 00:05:58,866
and get my nose down
to the grindstone.

87
00:05:58,925 --> 00:06:01,405
Berenice, you send John Henry
home for supper at 6:00.

88
00:06:01,494 --> 00:06:02,768
Don't wait for me.

89
00:06:02,863 --> 00:06:04,206
Yes, sir,
Mr. Addams.

90
00:06:04,264 --> 00:06:06,039
You hear that, candy?

91
00:06:06,099 --> 00:06:08,045
Your mama wants you home
some of the time.

92
00:06:08,101 --> 00:06:09,739
I hear

93
00:06:13,773 --> 00:06:14,843
(SIGHS)

94
00:06:17,777 --> 00:06:20,053
I just can't
understand it.

95
00:06:20,113 --> 00:06:21,922
The way it all just
suddenly happened.

96
00:06:22,015 --> 00:06:24,256
Happened?
Happened?

97
00:06:24,351 --> 00:06:26,092
I've never been
so puzzled.

98
00:06:26,186 --> 00:06:27,290
Puzzled by what?

99
00:06:27,387 --> 00:06:28,889
The whole thing.

100
00:06:29,623 --> 00:06:31,899
They are so beautiful.

101
00:06:31,958 --> 00:06:34,268
I believe the sun's done
fried your brains.

102
00:06:34,361 --> 00:06:35,772
Me, too.

103
00:06:35,862 --> 00:06:37,364
Look here at me.

104
00:06:37,430 --> 00:06:38,408
You jealous?

105
00:06:38,465 --> 00:06:39,739
Jealous?

106
00:06:39,799 --> 00:06:42,370
Jealous because your brother's
going to be married?

107
00:06:42,435 --> 00:06:46,281
No, I just never saw
any two people like them.

108
00:06:46,373 --> 00:06:47,613
When they walked in
the house today,

109
00:06:47,707 --> 00:06:49,152
it was so queer.

110
00:06:49,643 --> 00:06:50,883
You are jealous.

111
00:06:50,944 --> 00:06:52,150
Go behold yourself
in the mirror.

112
00:06:52,245 --> 00:06:54,156
I can tell from
the color of your eyes.

113
00:07:03,490 --> 00:07:06,471
They were the two
prettiest people I ever saw.

114
00:07:06,559 --> 00:07:08,766
I just can't understand
how it happened.

115
00:07:08,828 --> 00:07:10,637
Whatever ails you?
Acting so queer.

116
00:07:10,730 --> 00:07:12,266
I don't know.

117
00:07:12,332 --> 00:07:14,608
I bet they have a good time
every minute of the day.

118
00:07:14,668 --> 00:07:16,477
Let's us have
a good time.

119
00:07:16,569 --> 00:07:19,106
Us have
a good time? Us?

120
00:07:19,172 --> 00:07:22,483
Yes, us. Come on. Let us play
a three-handed game of bridge.

121
00:07:25,912 --> 00:07:28,290
Janice and Jarvis.

122
00:07:28,348 --> 00:07:30,521
Winter Hill. The wedding.

123
00:07:31,851 --> 00:07:33,353
It's all so queer.

124
00:07:38,291 --> 00:07:40,965
Can't bid. Never have
a hand these days.

125
00:07:41,027 --> 00:07:42,131
A spade.

126
00:07:42,195 --> 00:07:43,435
I want to bid spades.

127
00:07:43,496 --> 00:07:45,134
That's what
I was going to bid.

128
00:07:45,198 --> 00:07:46,802
Well, that's your tough luck.
I bid them first.

129
00:07:46,866 --> 00:07:49,608
Oh, you fool jackass!
It's not fair!

130
00:07:49,669 --> 00:07:51,376
Hush quarreling, you two.

131
00:07:52,872 --> 00:07:55,148
Tell the truth, neither one
of you got such a grand hand

132
00:07:55,208 --> 00:07:56,482
to fight over the bid about.

133
00:07:56,543 --> 00:07:57,715
But where is the cards?

134
00:07:57,811 --> 00:07:59,654
I ain't had
no kind of hand all week.

135
00:07:59,713 --> 00:08:03,160
I don't give a darn about it.
It is immaterial with me.

136
00:08:03,216 --> 00:08:05,287
My heart feels I'm going away.

137
00:08:06,052 --> 00:08:07,531
Going farther and farther away

138
00:08:07,620 --> 00:08:09,463
while I'm stuck here
by myself.

139
00:08:09,522 --> 00:08:11,502
You ain't here by yourself.

140
00:08:11,558 --> 00:08:14,801
They were the two
prettiest people I ever saw.

141
00:08:14,861 --> 00:08:16,363
Yet, it was...

142
00:08:16,463 --> 00:08:19,171
It was like I couldn't see
all of them I wanted to see.

143
00:08:19,232 --> 00:08:21,473
My brains couldn't
gather together quick enough

144
00:08:21,534 --> 00:08:23,070
to take it all in.

145
00:08:24,070 --> 00:08:25,674
And then they were gone.

146
00:08:25,739 --> 00:08:27,548
Well, stop commenting
about it.

147
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:29,881
You don't have your mind
on the game.

148
00:08:29,976 --> 00:08:31,717
Well, spades are trump
and you got a spade.

149
00:08:31,811 --> 00:08:33,381
I have some of my mind
on the game.

150
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:34,550
Go on, cheater.

151
00:08:34,647 --> 00:08:36,024
Make haste, candy.

152
00:08:36,082 --> 00:08:38,187
I can't. It's a king.

153
00:08:38,251 --> 00:08:40,731
The only spade I got
is a king.

154
00:08:40,820 --> 00:08:43,198
And I don't want to play
my king under Frankie's ace,

155
00:08:43,256 --> 00:08:45,497
and I'm not going to, either!

156
00:08:45,558 --> 00:08:46,901
See, Berenice, he cheats.

157
00:08:46,993 --> 00:08:48,529
Play the king, John Henry.

158
00:08:48,595 --> 00:08:50,768
You know you got to follow
the rules of the game.

159
00:08:50,864 --> 00:08:52,104
My king!

160
00:08:52,932 --> 00:08:54,536
It isn't fair!

161
00:08:54,601 --> 00:08:56,603
Even with this trick,
I can't win.

Well, just where is the cards?

00:08:58,671 --> 00:09:01,174
Three days,
I ain't had a decent hand.

something, too.

165
00:09:03,009 --> 00:09:05,216
Come on let's count
these old cards.

166
00:09:05,278 --> 00:09:06,951
We've worn
these old cards out.

167
00:09:07,047 --> 00:09:09,049
If you would eat these
old cards, they would taste

168
00:09:09,115 --> 00:09:11,891
like a combination of
all the dinners of this summer

169
00:09:11,951 --> 00:09:14,727
together with a sweaty-handed
nasty taste.

170

Why, the jacks and
the queens are missing!

John Henry, how come you do
a thing like that?

172
00:09:33,306 --> 00:09:35,582
So that's why you asked
for the scissors

173
00:09:35,642 --> 00:09:37,986
and stole off
quiet behind the arbor.

174
00:09:38,078 --> 00:09:41,150
Why you take our playing cards
and cut out all the pictures?

175
00:09:41,247 --> 00:09:44,126
'Cause I wanted 'em.
They're cute.

It's hopeless. Hopeless!

Just have to
put him out of the game.

178
00:09:50,490 --> 00:09:51,833
He's entirely too young.

Oh, no, we can't put candy
out of the game.

Gotta have a third to play.

182

Besides,
by the last count,

183
00:09:58,431 --> 00:10:00,604
he owes me close to
three million dollars.

184
00:10:00,667 --> 00:10:02,772
Oh, I'm sick unto death!

185
00:10:03,970 --> 00:10:05,449
Oh, I wish they'd
taken me with them

186

00:10:08,108 --> 00:10:10,611
I wish tomorrow was Sunday
instead of Saturday.

188
00:10:10,677 --> 00:10:11,951
Sunday will come.

189
00:10:12,011 --> 00:10:13,456
I doubt it.

190
00:10:13,513 --> 00:10:15,959
I wish I was going
somewhere for good.

191
00:10:16,015 --> 00:10:18,291
I wish I had $100
and could just light out

192
00:10:18,351 --> 00:10:19,989
and never see
this town again.

193
00:10:20,086 --> 00:10:23,624
Seems to me like you're
wishing for a lot of things.

194
00:10:23,690 --> 00:10:25,863
I wish I was somebody else
except me.

195
00:10:31,598 --> 00:10:35,375
Frankie, you serious when you
gave me the doll a while ago?

196
00:10:35,468 --> 00:10:37,675
It gives me a pain
just to think about them.

197

200

I think maybe
I better go home.

204

You just can't
eat dinner

You can go home, candy lamb,

they're having a lot of fun.

Hey, there! I'm mighty glad
to see you. Come on in.

Am I the new member?

No, you're not the one

Not elected?

222

Every ballot was unanimous
for Mary Littlejohn.

Pasty fat girl
with those tacky pigtails?

older than you.

spreading it all over town

that I smell bad.

245
00:12:39,826 --> 00:12:41,430
and had to use that black,
bitter-smelling ointment

246

247

That old Helen Fletcher
asked me

what was that
funny smell I had.

249

I could shoot every
one of them with a pistol!

250
00:12:50,670 --> 00:12:53,116
I don't think
you smell so bad.

something else, too.

They were telling big lies
about grown-up people.

they take me for.

they're too old for you.

Frankie, the whole idea
of a club

259
00:13:17,964 --> 00:13:20,308
is that there are members
who are included

260
00:13:20,366 --> 00:13:22,846
and the non-members
who are not included.

261
00:13:22,935 --> 00:13:24,209
Then what
you ought to do is

262
00:13:24,304 --> 00:13:25,806
round you up
a club of your own.

are members of a lot of clubs.

I couldn't be jealous
of one of them

00:15:24,490 --> 00:15:26,436
Naturally,
it's against the law.

320
00:15:26,492 --> 00:15:27,937
(BERENICE CHUCKLING)

321
00:15:27,994 --> 00:15:31,999
Well, I don't care!
F. Jasmine Addams!

322
00:15:34,167 --> 00:15:36,579
You serious
when you give me this?

323
00:15:37,303 --> 00:15:39,476
I will name her Belle.

324
00:15:40,473 --> 00:15:42,453
I don't know what
went on in Jarvis' mind

325
00:15:42,508 --> 00:15:44,249
when he brought me
that doll.

326
00:15:44,310 --> 00:15:46,290
Imagine
bringing me a doll.

327
00:15:46,345 --> 00:15:49,451
Your face when you unwrapped
that package sure was a study.

328
00:15:49,515 --> 00:15:51,495
John Henry, quit picking
at the doll's eyes,

329
00:15:51,584 --> 00:15:53,962
it makes me so nervous.
You hear me?

330
00:15:54,020 --> 00:15:56,933
In fact, take that doll
somewhere out of my sight!

331
00:16:01,461 --> 00:16:04,806
The big mistake I made was
to get this close crew cut.

332
00:16:04,864 --> 00:16:06,468
For the wedding
I ought to have

333
00:16:06,532 --> 00:16:09,103
long brunette hair,
don't you think so?

334
00:16:09,669 --> 00:16:13,139
Don't see how come long
brunette hair is necessary.

335
00:16:13,206 --> 00:16:15,186
But I warned you about getting
your head shaved off

336
00:16:15,274 --> 00:16:16,309
like that before you did it.

337
00:16:16,375 --> 00:16:17,376
But nothing would do,

338
00:16:17,477 --> 00:16:18,979
but you shave it off
like that.

339
00:16:19,045 --> 00:16:21,685
I'm so worried
about being so tall.

340
00:16:22,482 --> 00:16:24,689
I'm 12
and five-sixths years old.

341
00:16:24,784 --> 00:16:26,320
Already I'm 5'5”

342
00:16:26,385 --> 00:16:28,490
and three quarters
inches tall.

343
00:16:28,554 --> 00:16:31,194
If I keep growing
like this until I'm 21,

344
00:16:31,290 --> 00:16:33,827
I figure I'll be
nearly 10 feet tall!

345
00:16:33,893 --> 00:16:35,531
How tall, Frankie?

346
00:16:36,362 --> 00:16:37,841
I doubt
if they ever get married

347
00:16:37,897 --> 00:16:41,003
or go to a wedding,
those freaks.

348
00:16:41,067 --> 00:16:43,047
Freaks? What freaks
are you talking about?

349
00:16:43,135 --> 00:16:44,341
The fair.

350
00:16:44,403 --> 00:16:46,178
The ones we saw there
last October.

351
00:16:46,239 --> 00:16:48,879
Oh, the freaks
at the fair.

352
00:16:48,975 --> 00:16:52,320
She was the cutest
little girl I ever saw.

353
00:16:52,378 --> 00:16:55,552
I've never saw anything
so cute in my whole life.

354
00:16:55,648 --> 00:16:56,854
Did you, Frankie?

355
00:16:56,916 --> 00:16:58,224
No, I don't think
she was cute.

356
00:16:58,317 --> 00:17:00,194
Well, who is that
he's talking about?

357
00:17:00,253 --> 00:17:02,062
That little old pinhead
at the fair.

358
00:17:02,154 --> 00:17:04,100
Head no bigger
than an orange.

359
00:17:04,190 --> 00:17:08,036
The hair all shaved off
and a big pink bow at the top.

360
00:17:08,094 --> 00:17:09,437
The bow was
bigger than her head.

361
00:17:09,529 --> 00:17:11,406
Well, that little-headed girl
was cute.

362
00:17:11,497 --> 00:17:13,101
The fact is
all those freak folks

363
00:17:13,199 --> 00:17:14,940
fairly give me
the creeps.

364
00:17:17,236 --> 00:17:18,738
Do I give you the creeps?

365
00:17:20,039 --> 00:17:21,040
You?

366
00:17:22,675 --> 00:17:24,712
Do you think
I'll grow into a freak?

367
00:17:24,777 --> 00:17:28,122
You? Certainly not,
I trust heaven.

368
00:17:28,214 --> 00:17:30,717
Well, do you think
I will be pretty?

369
00:17:30,783 --> 00:17:33,593
Maybe, if you file down
them horns an inch or two.

370
00:17:33,686 --> 00:17:35,893
Seriously.

371
00:17:35,955 --> 00:17:37,229
I think when you fill out,

372
00:17:37,290 --> 00:17:39,361
you'll do very well,
if you behave.

373
00:17:39,425 --> 00:17:41,803
But by Sunday.
I want to do something

374
00:17:41,894 --> 00:17:43,896
to improve myself
before the wedding.

375
00:17:43,963 --> 00:17:45,374
Then get clean
for a change.

376
00:17:45,431 --> 00:17:47,707
Scrub them elbows.
Fix yourself up nice.

377
00:17:47,767 --> 00:17:49,906
You'll do very well.

378
00:17:49,969 --> 00:17:53,075
You'll be all right
if you file down them horns.

379
00:17:55,308 --> 00:17:57,049
I don't know what to do.

380
00:17:57,810 --> 00:17:59,380
I just wish I would die.

381
00:17:59,445 --> 00:18:00,446
Well, die then.

382
00:18:00,546 --> 00:18:01,581
Die!

383
00:18:02,081 --> 00:18:04,823
Go home! Go home!

384
00:18:04,917 --> 00:18:07,659
You heard me. Go home!
I'm sick and tired of you,

385
00:18:07,753 --> 00:18:09,061
you little midget!
Now, just a minute...

386
00:18:09,121 --> 00:18:10,225
Will you listen to me...

387
00:18:10,289 --> 00:18:11,290
Go home!

388
00:18:11,390 --> 00:18:14,269
Did you hear
what I said?

389
00:18:14,327 --> 00:18:16,466
(SCREAMING IN FRUSTRATION)

390
00:18:16,562 --> 00:18:19,475
What makes you act like that?
You're too mean to live.

391
00:18:19,565 --> 00:18:20,805
I know it!

392
00:18:22,335 --> 00:18:23,678
Something about John Henry

393
00:18:23,769 --> 00:18:25,680
just gets on my nerves
these days.

394
00:18:27,573 --> 00:18:29,484
I've got a splinter
in my foot.

395
00:18:39,018 --> 00:18:42,295
That knife ain't no proper
thing for a splinter.

396
00:18:44,490 --> 00:18:46,766
Seems to me
that before this summer,

397
00:18:46,826 --> 00:18:48,806
I always used to have
such a good time.

398
00:18:49,962 --> 00:18:51,134
Remember the spring,

399
00:18:51,197 --> 00:18:52,767
how every Friday night
Evelyn Owen

400
00:18:52,832 --> 00:18:54,971
would come over
and spend the night with me?

401
00:18:55,034 --> 00:18:56,877
Or I'd go over to her house.

402
00:18:59,038 --> 00:19:01,814
And then Evelyn had to go
and move away to Florida.

403
00:19:01,874 --> 00:19:03,649
Now she won't even
write to me.

404
00:19:03,709 --> 00:19:05,985
Don't that
hurt you none?

405
00:19:06,045 --> 00:19:08,355
Hurt anybody else
except me.

406
00:19:08,447 --> 00:19:10,654
Remember that show
Evelyn and me put on?

407
00:19:10,716 --> 00:19:12,992
♪ Look ahead, look astern <i>I</i>

408
00:19:13,052 --> 00:19:15,225
♪ Look the weather in the lee ♪

409
00:19:15,321 --> 00:19:17,323
BOTH:
♪ Blow high, blow low I

410
00:19:17,390 --> 00:19:21,566
♪ And so sailed we N'

411
00:19:21,661 --> 00:19:24,039
You're going to meet another
nice girl like Evelyn Owen.

412
00:19:24,130 --> 00:19:25,234
(HUMMING)

413
00:19:25,331 --> 00:19:27,572
Frankie, what you need
is a needle.

414
00:19:27,667 --> 00:19:29,738
I don't care anything
about my old feet!

415
00:19:34,540 --> 00:19:36,019
How old were you, Berenice,

416
00:19:36,075 --> 00:19:37,679
when you married
your first husband?

417
00:19:37,743 --> 00:19:39,017
13 years old,

418
00:19:39,078 --> 00:19:41,080
and I ain't
growed an inch since.

419
00:19:41,180 --> 00:19:43,023
Can marriage really
stop your growth?

420
00:19:43,082 --> 00:19:45,688
Marriage don't
stop nothing.

421
00:19:45,751 --> 00:19:48,425
You never loved any of
your four husbands but Ludie.

422
00:19:48,521 --> 00:19:50,831
Ludie Maxwell Freeman
was the only husband I loved.

423
00:19:50,890 --> 00:19:53,097
The rest was
just scraps.

424
00:19:54,427 --> 00:19:56,771
Did you marry
with a veil every time?

425
00:19:56,862 --> 00:19:58,535
Three times
with a veil.

426
00:20:00,866 --> 00:20:03,039
If only I just knew
where he's gone.

427
00:20:03,102 --> 00:20:04,410
(CHIRPING)

428
00:20:04,503 --> 00:20:06,710
Charles!

429
00:20:06,772 --> 00:20:08,342
Now, quit worrying
about that old alley cat.

430
00:20:08,407 --> 00:20:09,442
Charles!

431
00:20:09,542 --> 00:20:12,045
He's gone off
to hunt a friend.

432
00:20:12,845 --> 00:20:14,188
To hunt a friend?
Certainly.

433
00:20:14,246 --> 00:20:17,056
He roamed off to find
himself a lady friend.

434
00:20:17,116 --> 00:20:19,619
Well, why don't he bring
his friend home with him?

435
00:20:19,719 --> 00:20:21,756
He ought to know
I would be only too glad

436
00:20:21,854 --> 00:20:23,561
to have a whole family
of cats.

437
00:20:23,622 --> 00:20:26,728
Well, you done seen the last
of that old alley cat.

438
00:20:26,792 --> 00:20:28,601
I ought to notify
the police force.

439
00:20:28,694 --> 00:20:30,571
They will find Charles.

440
00:20:30,629 --> 00:20:32,438
I wouldn't do that.

441
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,146
I want the police force,
please.

442
00:20:38,237 --> 00:20:40,217
Police force?

443
00:20:40,272 --> 00:20:42,582
I'm notifying you
about my cat.

444
00:20:42,641 --> 00:20:44,279
Cat!

445
00:20:44,376 --> 00:20:46,253
He's lost.
He's almost pure Persian.

446
00:20:46,312 --> 00:20:48,656
As Persian as I is!

447
00:20:49,815 --> 00:20:52,762
But with short hair,
a lovely color of gray,

448
00:20:52,818 --> 00:20:54,627
with a little white spot
at his throat.

449
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,098
And he answers
to the name of Charles.

450
00:20:57,156 --> 00:20:58,499
But if he don't
answer to that,

451
00:20:58,591 --> 00:21:00,901
he might come if
you called, “Charlina.”

452
00:21:01,494 --> 00:21:02,495
What?

453
00:21:03,262 --> 00:21:04,832
Oh, my name is

454
00:21:04,930 --> 00:21:07,934
Miss F. Jasmine Addams.

455
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:09,638
That gels it.
That gels it.

456
00:21:09,735 --> 00:21:13,114
And the address is
124 Grove Street.

457
00:21:13,172 --> 00:21:14,674
(GUFFAWING)

458
00:21:17,343 --> 00:21:21,450
Gal, they're coming in here
and tie you up

459
00:21:21,514 --> 00:21:24,120
and drag you off
to Houghtonville.

460
00:21:24,183 --> 00:21:26,663
Just picture them
fat blue police

461
00:21:26,752 --> 00:21:29,289
chasing tomcats
up and down alleys, all,

462
00:21:29,355 --> 00:21:31,335
“Come here, Charles,
come here, Charlina!"

463
00:21:31,423 --> 00:21:33,130
Merciful heavens!

464
00:21:33,192 --> 00:21:34,796
Oh, shut up!

465
00:21:34,860 --> 00:21:37,363
Trouble with you, you got
no sense of humor no more.

466
00:21:37,463 --> 00:21:39,465
Maybe I'd be
better off in jail.

467
00:21:39,532 --> 00:21:42,308
Sit down, Frankie.
You make me nervous.

468
00:21:42,368 --> 00:21:45,474
I bet Janice and Jarvis
are almost to Winter Hill by now.

469
00:21:45,538 --> 00:21:47,176
(CHUCKLING)

470
00:21:47,273 --> 00:21:49,014
Did you hear
what Jarvis said?

471
00:21:49,108 --> 00:21:50,553
No. What?

472
00:21:50,643 --> 00:21:51,815
They were talking about

473
00:21:51,877 --> 00:21:53,720
whether to vote
for C.P. MacDonald.

474
00:21:53,813 --> 00:21:55,053
And Jarvis said,

475
00:21:55,147 --> 00:21:56,990
“Why, I wouldn't vote
for that scoundrel

476
00:21:57,049 --> 00:21:59,359
“if he were running
to be dog catcher.”

477
00:22:04,123 --> 00:22:07,400
Why, I never heard anything
so witty in my life.

478
00:22:07,493 --> 00:22:09,029
And you know
what Janice remarked

479
00:22:09,128 --> 00:22:11,540
when Jarvis mentioned
about how much I'd grown?

480
00:22:11,630 --> 00:22:14,167
She said she didn't think
I looked so terribly big.

481
00:22:14,233 --> 00:22:16,304
She said she got the major
portion of her growth

482
00:22:16,368 --> 00:22:18,041
before she was 13.

483
00:22:18,137 --> 00:22:19,514
She said I was
the right height,

484
00:22:19,572 --> 00:22:21,176
and had acting talent,

485
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:22,913
and ought to go to Hollywood.
She did, Berenice.

486
00:22:23,008 --> 00:22:24,248
Okay, all right.
She did.

487
00:22:24,343 --> 00:22:25,515
She said I was
a lovely size

488
00:22:25,578 --> 00:22:27,023
and I probably wouldn't
grow any taller.

489
00:22:27,079 --> 00:22:28,422
She said, anyway,

490
00:22:28,514 --> 00:22:30,187
all fashion models
and movie stars...

491
00:22:30,249 --> 00:22:33,196
She did not, she did not.
I heard her from the window.

492
00:22:33,252 --> 00:22:34,526
She only remarked

493
00:22:34,587 --> 00:22:36,726
you had probably
reached your growth.

494
00:22:36,822 --> 00:22:39,098
But she didn't
go on and on like that,

495
00:22:39,191 --> 00:22:41,034
or mention anything
about Hollywood.

496
00:22:41,093 --> 00:22:43,095
She said to you...
She said to me...

497
00:22:43,195 --> 00:22:45,573
That's a serious fault,
Frankie.

498
00:22:45,664 --> 00:22:48,076
Somebody just chance
to make a loose remark,

499
00:22:48,167 --> 00:22:50,044
you've cozen in
that mind of yours

500
00:22:50,102 --> 00:22:52,048
till nobody
would recognize it.

501
00:22:52,104 --> 00:22:53,674
Like the time
your Aunt Pat mentioned

502
00:22:53,739 --> 00:22:55,275
you had sweet manners.

503
00:22:55,374 --> 00:22:57,877
The next thing I know, you was
going all around bragging

504
00:22:57,943 --> 00:23:00,082
how you had
the finest manners in town,

505
00:23:00,179 --> 00:23:01,624
you ought to go to Hollywood.

506
00:23:01,714 --> 00:23:03,421
That's a serious fault.

507
00:23:04,283 --> 00:23:06,058
Quit preaching at me!

508
00:23:06,118 --> 00:23:07,563
I'm not preaching at you.

509
00:23:07,620 --> 00:23:08,928
It's the solemn truth,
and you know it.

510
00:23:09,021 --> 00:23:10,432
Well, I admit it.
Well?

511
00:23:10,522 --> 00:23:11,694
A little.

512
00:23:13,459 --> 00:23:15,461
What I need to know is this.

513
00:23:17,563 --> 00:23:19,565
Do you think
I made a good impression?

514
00:23:19,632 --> 00:23:21,077
Impression?
Yes?

515
00:23:21,133 --> 00:23:23,704
Well, how would I know?

516
00:23:23,769 --> 00:23:27,581
Well, I mean, how did I act?
What did I do?

517
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:29,984
You didn't do nothing
to speak of.

518
00:23:30,075 --> 00:23:31,076
Nothing?

519
00:23:31,143 --> 00:23:32,816
No, you just stood there.

520
00:23:32,912 --> 00:23:35,756
Watched the pair of them
like they were ghosts.

521
00:23:35,814 --> 00:23:38,420
And when they start talking
about that wedding,

522
00:23:38,484 --> 00:23:40,964
them ears of yours
stiffened out

523
00:23:41,053 --> 00:23:42,794
the size of cabbage leaves.

524
00:23:42,888 --> 00:23:44,890
They didn't!
They did.

525
00:23:45,991 --> 00:23:47,800
Someday you're going to find
that big fat tongue of yours

526
00:23:47,893 --> 00:23:49,167
pulled out by the roots

527
00:23:49,261 --> 00:23:51,104
and laying there before you
on the table!

528
00:23:51,163 --> 00:23:53,507
Oh, quit talking so rude.

529
00:23:54,733 --> 00:23:57,111
I'm so scared I didn't make
a good impression.

530
00:23:57,169 --> 00:23:58,614
Oh, come, sugar,

531
00:23:58,671 --> 00:24:00,173
Berenice didn't mean it
that way.

532
00:24:00,272 --> 00:24:02,115
They were so pretty.

533
00:24:02,841 --> 00:24:04,650
They must have
such a good time,

534
00:24:04,743 --> 00:24:06,450
and they went away
and left me.

535
00:24:06,512 --> 00:24:09,118
Frankie, I want you to sit up
and behave yourself.

536
00:24:09,181 --> 00:24:13,960
They came and went away
and left me with this feeling!

537
00:24:14,019 --> 00:24:15,828
(EXCLAIMING)

538
00:24:15,921 --> 00:24:19,300
I bet I know something.
Frankie's got a crush.

539
00:24:19,358 --> 00:24:21,304
Frankie's got a crush.

540
00:24:21,360 --> 00:24:23,533
Frankie's got a crush
on the wedding.

541
00:24:23,629 --> 00:24:24,664
Quit it!

542
00:24:24,763 --> 00:24:27,300
Frankie's got a crush.

543
00:24:27,366 --> 00:24:29,312
You better quit!

544
00:24:29,368 --> 00:24:30,608
Put that knife down.

545
00:24:30,669 --> 00:24:31,807
Make me.

546
00:24:31,870 --> 00:24:33,144
Put it down, devil.

547
00:24:33,872 --> 00:24:35,476
Well, throw it.

548
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:43,653
I'm the best knife thrower
in this town.

549
00:24:43,716 --> 00:24:45,559
Say whatever contest,
I would win.

550
00:24:45,651 --> 00:24:47,028
Frances Addams,
you're going to try

551
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:48,325
that stunt once too often.

552
00:24:48,387 --> 00:24:49,661
Warned you to stop
picking at me.

553
00:24:49,722 --> 00:24:51,360
You just ain't fit
to live in a house.

554
00:24:51,457 --> 00:24:52,800
Won't be living
in this one much longer.

555
00:24:52,858 --> 00:24:53,996
I'm gonna run away
from home!

556
00:24:54,059 --> 00:24:56,005
Good riddance
to a big old bag of rubbish.

557
00:24:56,061 --> 00:24:57,665
You wait and see.
I'm leaving town.

558
00:24:57,730 --> 00:24:59,732
Where do you think
you're going?

559
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:02,679
I don't know.

560
00:25:02,735 --> 00:25:05,841
You're going crazy,
that's where you're going.

561
00:25:05,904 --> 00:25:06,905
No.

562
00:25:08,340 --> 00:25:11,014
This coming Sunday,
after the wedding,

563
00:25:11,076 --> 00:25:12,316
I'm leaving town.

564
00:25:13,412 --> 00:25:15,517
And I swear by
my two eyes

565
00:25:15,581 --> 00:25:18,187
I'm never coming
back here anymore.

566
00:25:18,250 --> 00:25:19,354
Sugar, you're serious?

567
00:25:19,418 --> 00:25:20,590
Of course.

568
00:25:20,686 --> 00:25:21,892
Do you think
I would stand here

569
00:25:21,987 --> 00:25:24,365
and swear that swear
and tell a story?

570
00:25:24,423 --> 00:25:26,027
Sometimes, Berenice,

571
00:25:26,091 --> 00:25:28,731
I think it takes you longer
to realize a fact

572
00:25:28,827 --> 00:25:31,103
than ii does anybody
who ever lived.

573
00:25:31,196 --> 00:25:33,403
But you say you don't know
where you're going.

574
00:25:33,499 --> 00:25:35,069
You're going,
but you don't know where.

575
00:25:35,167 --> 00:25:37,443
And that don't
make sense to me.

576
00:25:37,536 --> 00:25:39,709
Well, I feel
just exactly like

577
00:25:39,772 --> 00:25:42,412
somebody's peeled
all the skin off me.

578
00:25:43,442 --> 00:25:46,514
I wish I had some good
cold peach ice cream.

579
00:25:47,379 --> 00:25:49,518
But every word I told you
was the solemn truth.

580
00:25:49,581 --> 00:25:51,788
I'm leaving here
after the wedding.

581
00:25:53,018 --> 00:25:56,625
Oh, hello, T.T. and Honey.
I didn't hear you coming.

582
00:25:56,722 --> 00:25:58,258
Hello.

583
00:25:58,357 --> 00:25:59,893
What's the matter?

584
00:25:59,958 --> 00:26:03,599
Your foster-brother, Honey,
got into a ruckus again.

585
00:26:03,695 --> 00:26:05,436
Standing on the sidewalk
in front of Sam's Café,

586
00:26:05,531 --> 00:26:07,238
and the police
cracked him on the head.

587
00:26:07,299 --> 00:26:08,300
What?

588
00:26:13,205 --> 00:26:16,277
Why, ifs a welt
the size of a small egg!

589
00:26:17,876 --> 00:26:20,322
Times like this I feel like
I've got to bust loose or die.

590
00:26:20,412 --> 00:26:21,789
What was you doing?

591
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:22,915
Nothing.

592
00:26:22,981 --> 00:26:25,154
I was just passing down the street
and minding my own business,

593
00:26:25,250 --> 00:26:26,752
when this drunk soldier
came out of Sam's

594
00:26:26,819 --> 00:26:28,457
and bumped into me.

595
00:26:28,554 --> 00:26:30,124
I looked at him
and he gave me a push.

596
00:26:30,222 --> 00:26:32,463
I pushed him back
and he started a ruckus.

597
00:26:32,558 --> 00:26:34,629
Then this M.P. came up
and slammed me with his stick.

598
00:26:34,726 --> 00:26:36,262
It was just one of
those accidents.

599
00:26:36,328 --> 00:26:37,432
Could have happened
to anybody.

600
00:26:37,496 --> 00:26:39,134
Toot some of
your horn, Honey.

601
00:26:39,231 --> 00:26:40,972
Now, don't bother
my horn, Butch.

602
00:26:41,066 --> 00:26:42,807
(PUFFS)

603
00:26:43,569 --> 00:26:45,571
(MIMICKING TRUMPET)

604
00:26:45,637 --> 00:26:47,742
Told you
not to touch my horn!

605
00:26:47,806 --> 00:26:50,116
Look at it! You got it full of slobber
inside and out. It's ruined!

606
00:26:50,175 --> 00:26:51,483
Now don't touch
that little boy,

607
00:26:51,577 --> 00:26:53,523
or I'll stomp
your brains out!

608
00:26:57,983 --> 00:27:00,293
John Henry knows
when he needs a good shake.

609
00:27:00,853 --> 00:27:02,196
Don't you, Butch?

610
00:27:03,355 --> 00:27:04,925
Now, you run
on home, candy.

611
00:27:04,990 --> 00:27:06,799
It's way past
your supper time.

612
00:27:08,127 --> 00:27:10,368
John Henry, which hand
is the money in?

613
00:27:10,462 --> 00:27:12,339
You can keep it
if you can guess right.

614
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,474
I won.
Much obliged.

615
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:24,314
Thai sure is a cute suit
you got on, Honey.

616
00:27:24,376 --> 00:27:26,378
Yesterday I heard somebody
speak about you

617
00:27:26,478 --> 00:27:28,219
as Lightfoot Brown.

618
00:27:28,313 --> 00:27:31,157
I think that's
a grand nickname.

619
00:27:31,216 --> 00:27:33,492
Ifs on account
of your going to Harlem,

620
00:27:33,552 --> 00:27:36,032
and all the different places
where you've run away.

621
00:27:36,121 --> 00:27:37,828
Lightfoot.

622
00:27:37,890 --> 00:27:40,837
I wish somebody would
call me Lightfoot Addams.

623
00:27:40,893 --> 00:27:43,533
Suit me better if
Honey Camden had brick feet.

624
00:27:43,629 --> 00:27:46,075
Keeps me anxious
and keeps me worried.

625
00:27:46,732 --> 00:27:48,234
Come on, let's go.

626
00:27:49,801 --> 00:27:52,179
Now, Frankie, I want you
to forget all that foolishness

627
00:27:52,237 --> 00:27:54,012
we were discussing.
You hear?

628
00:27:54,072 --> 00:27:55,881
Now, if your papa
ain't home by good dark,

629
00:27:55,974 --> 00:27:58,386
go over to your Aunt Pat's
and play with John Henry.

630
00:27:58,477 --> 00:28:00,980
Since when have I
been scared of the dark?

631
00:28:01,046 --> 00:28:02,650
You'll find your supper
on top of the stove

632
00:28:02,714 --> 00:28:04,921
and pie in the icebox.

633
00:28:08,754 --> 00:28:10,324
Good night, sugar.

634
00:28:59,905 --> 00:29:01,248
(SOFTLY)
John Henry!

635
00:29:02,874 --> 00:29:04,114
John Henry!

636
00:29:05,310 --> 00:29:06,584
John Henry!

637
00:29:07,646 --> 00:29:09,148
Yes, Frankie?

638
00:29:09,248 --> 00:29:10,556
You asleep?

639
00:29:10,616 --> 00:29:13,495
No. What do you want,
Frankie?

640
00:29:13,585 --> 00:29:15,292
Come on over and
spend the night with me.

641
00:29:15,387 --> 00:29:16,798
I can't.

642
00:29:16,888 --> 00:29:17,992
Why?

643
00:29:18,090 --> 00:29:19,660
Just because.

644
00:29:19,758 --> 00:29:22,500
Because why?
We could have a good time.

645
00:29:22,594 --> 00:29:24,835
Frankie, I don't want to.

646
00:29:24,930 --> 00:29:27,467
Oh, you fool jackass!
Suit yourself!

647
00:29:28,934 --> 00:29:30,174
Only asked you

648
00:29:30,269 --> 00:29:32,249
because you looked so ugly
and so lonesome!

649
00:29:32,304 --> 00:29:34,011
Why, I'm not
a bit lonesome.

650
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:37,943
Well, I don't want to go
into that empty,

651
00:29:38,010 --> 00:29:39,956
ugly house all by myself.

652
00:29:40,012 --> 00:29:41,423
I'm mad at you.

653
00:29:51,790 --> 00:29:54,293
I think somethings wrong.
It's too quiet.

654
00:29:55,861 --> 00:29:59,035
I've a peculiar, supernatural
warning in my bones.

655
00:30:00,365 --> 00:30:03,141
I'll bet you $100
it's going to storm.

656
00:30:03,201 --> 00:30:05,272
I don't want to
spend the night with you.

657
00:30:05,337 --> 00:30:08,341
A terrible,
terrible dog-day storm.

658
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:13,048
Or maybe even a cyclone,
or a tornado, or a tidal wave!

659
00:30:13,812 --> 00:30:16,315
Frankie, if you're afraid,

660
00:30:16,381 --> 00:30:18,327
I'll get my weekend bag
and come over.

661
00:30:19,451 --> 00:30:21,055
Suit yourself.
Then I'll stay here.

662
00:30:21,153 --> 00:30:22,461
You don't need
a weekend bag.

663
00:30:22,521 --> 00:30:24,228
You're not going up
to Savannah, just here.

664
00:30:24,323 --> 00:30:25,666
Go tell your mama.

665
00:30:25,724 --> 00:30:27,670
She's at the show.

666
00:30:27,726 --> 00:30:29,967
Well, she'll know where
you are. Come on.

667
00:31:30,188 --> 00:31:33,226
Now I lay me down to sleep.
If I should die before I wake,

668
00:31:33,291 --> 00:31:35,293
I pray the Lord
my soul to take.

669
00:31:35,394 --> 00:31:37,874
God bless Berenice,
Mama, Uncle Royal,

670
00:31:37,929 --> 00:31:40,466
Honey, T.T.,
the Americans and Frankie.

671
00:31:48,974 --> 00:31:51,147
(TRUMPET PLAYING SOFTLY)

672
00:31:55,313 --> 00:31:56,758
Frankie,
when Berenice said...

673
00:31:56,815 --> 00:31:57,885
(SHUSHING)

674
00:31:57,949 --> 00:31:59,656
That sounds like Honey.

675
00:32:12,731 --> 00:32:14,233
(TRUMPET STOPS)

676
00:32:14,299 --> 00:32:17,109
He stopped to bang
the spit out of his horn.

677
00:32:18,303 --> 00:32:20,442
Please, Honey,
go on, finish.

678
00:32:20,505 --> 00:32:22,507
I bet a policeman
stopped him.

679
00:32:27,979 --> 00:32:31,188
To me it is the irony of fate,
the way they come here.

680
00:32:31,283 --> 00:32:33,854
Those moths
could fly anywhere,

681
00:32:33,952 --> 00:32:36,956
yet they keep hanging around
the windows of this house.

682
00:32:43,662 --> 00:32:46,643
I told Berenice
I was leaving town for good.

683
00:32:46,698 --> 00:32:48,644
She did not believe me.

684
00:32:48,700 --> 00:32:50,145
Sometimes I honestly think

685
00:32:50,202 --> 00:32:52,375
she's the biggest fool
that ever drew breath.

686
00:32:52,471 --> 00:32:55,816
You try to impress something
on a big fool like that,

687
00:32:55,874 --> 00:32:59,048
and it's just like talking
to a block of cement.

688
00:32:59,144 --> 00:33:01,715
I kept on telling
and telling and telling her.

689
00:33:01,813 --> 00:33:03,724
I told her I had to leave
this town for good,

690
00:33:03,815 --> 00:33:05,556
'cause it is inevitable.

691
00:33:07,452 --> 00:33:08,692
Inevitable!

692
00:33:09,387 --> 00:33:10,889
What's “inevitable”?

693
00:33:11,957 --> 00:33:13,994
Don't bother me, John Henry.
I'm thinking.

694
00:33:14,059 --> 00:33:15,834
What you thinking about?

695
00:33:17,329 --> 00:33:18,899
About the wedding.

696
00:33:20,966 --> 00:33:22,741
About my brother
and the bride.

697
00:33:24,302 --> 00:33:26,509
Everything's been
so sudden today.

698
00:33:28,507 --> 00:33:31,215
I never believed before about
the fact that the Earth turns

699
00:33:31,309 --> 00:33:33,050
at about the rate of
1,000 miles a day.

700
00:33:34,813 --> 00:33:36,258
But now it seems to me,

701
00:33:36,348 --> 00:33:38,658
I feel the world
going around very fast.

702
00:33:40,085 --> 00:33:42,395
I feel it turning,
and it makes me dizzy.

703
00:33:43,388 --> 00:33:44,924
Turn the other way.

704
00:33:48,527 --> 00:33:49,938
I'm going with them!

705
00:33:50,028 --> 00:33:51,268
What?

706
00:33:51,363 --> 00:33:52,774
I tell you,
I'm going with them!

707
00:33:52,864 --> 00:33:54,537
It's like I've known it
all my life.

708
00:33:54,599 --> 00:33:56,203
Tomorrow I will
tell everybody.

709
00:33:56,268 --> 00:33:58,612
After the wedding,
Huh?

710
00:33:58,703 --> 00:34:00,376
I'm going with them
to Winter Hill.

711
00:34:00,438 --> 00:34:02,076
You serious?

712
00:34:02,173 --> 00:34:03,743
The trouble with me

713
00:34:04,442 --> 00:34:05,887
is that for a long time

714
00:34:05,944 --> 00:34:07,890
I have been
just an “I" person.

715
00:34:07,946 --> 00:34:10,586
All people belong
to a “we,” except me.

716
00:34:10,682 --> 00:34:12,355
When Berenice says “we,”

717
00:34:12,417 --> 00:34:15,455
she means her church,
and lodge, and colored people.

718
00:34:15,554 --> 00:34:17,898
Soldiers can say “we”
and mean the army.

719
00:34:17,956 --> 00:34:21,563
Until this afternoon,
I didn't have a “we."

720
00:34:21,626 --> 00:34:26,097
But now, after seeing Janice
and Jarvis, I suddenly realize

721
00:34:26,197 --> 00:34:29,770
that the bride and my brother
are the “we" of me.

722
00:34:30,468 --> 00:34:32,914
So, I'm going with them.

723
00:34:32,971 --> 00:34:35,042
I'm going with them
and joining with the wedding.

724
00:34:35,106 --> 00:34:36,449
This coming Sunday,

725
00:34:36,541 --> 00:34:38,248
when my brother
and the bride leave town,

726
00:34:38,310 --> 00:34:40,256
I'm going with them
to Winter Hill,

727
00:34:40,312 --> 00:34:43,486
and after that, to whatever
place that they will ever go.

728
00:34:53,091 --> 00:34:55,332
I love the two of them
so much,

729
00:34:56,061 --> 00:34:58,234
and we belong to be together.

730
00:34:59,164 --> 00:35:01,940
I love the two of them
so much,

731
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:03,775
because they are
the “we” of me.

732
00:35:19,784 --> 00:35:21,627
You're going into tar,
if you ain't careful.

733
00:35:21,686 --> 00:35:23,324
I'm leaving town tomorrow.

734
00:35:23,421 --> 00:35:25,298
After the wedding, I'm going
with my brother, Jarvis

735
00:35:25,357 --> 00:35:26,802
and Janice to Winter Hill.

736
00:35:26,858 --> 00:35:27,996
And after that,

737
00:35:28,093 --> 00:35:30,972
for the rest of our lives
over the whole wide world.

738
00:35:31,029 --> 00:35:32,633
That's a solemn fact.

739
00:35:32,697 --> 00:35:34,802
<i>I'll</i> probably never see
this old street again

740
00:35:34,866 --> 00:35:37,039
for the rest of
my whole life. Good-bye!

741
00:35:37,135 --> 00:35:38,170
Take care.

742
00:35:48,647 --> 00:35:50,126
Good morning, Papa.

743
00:35:50,181 --> 00:35:51,888
Good morning.

744
00:35:51,983 --> 00:35:54,657
Papa, there's something
I have to tell you.

745
00:35:55,553 --> 00:35:57,328
After the wedding,
I'm going away.

746
00:35:57,389 --> 00:35:58,663
Mmm-hmm.

747
00:35:59,557 --> 00:36:00,558
Papa?

748
00:36:02,661 --> 00:36:05,540
How many times do I have to
tell you not to touch things.

749
00:36:05,630 --> 00:36:08,509
If you break that,
it will cost me $5.

750
00:36:11,403 --> 00:36:13,076
Papa, please,
listen to me.

751
00:36:14,506 --> 00:36:17,578
All right, I'm listening.
What is it?

752
00:36:17,676 --> 00:36:19,747
I'm trying to tell you that
after the wedding, I'm...

753
00:36:19,844 --> 00:36:22,085
Frankie, you take
that lipstick off.

754
00:36:26,818 --> 00:36:28,263
Now, what was it
you wanted?

755
00:36:28,353 --> 00:36:29,855
I have to buy
a wedding dress.

756
00:36:29,921 --> 00:36:31,525
All right, you charge it
at O'Rourke's.

757
00:36:31,589 --> 00:36:33,432
And wedding shoes
and a pair of sheer stockings.

758
00:36:33,525 --> 00:36:34,868
You get what you need.

759
00:36:36,528 --> 00:36:38,769
I'll call up and tell them
it's all right.

760
00:36:38,863 --> 00:36:40,536
Now, you get
something nice.

761
00:36:43,001 --> 00:36:45,845
I'll write to you, Papa.
I'll write you every day.

762
00:36:49,774 --> 00:36:52,948
(HONEY PLAYING TRUMPET)

763
00:37:09,694 --> 00:37:10,968
Pretty good, huh?

764
00:37:11,062 --> 00:37:13,201
Yes. You on that
stuff again?

765
00:37:13,898 --> 00:37:15,571
Of course not.

766
00:37:15,633 --> 00:37:18,807
Stop lying, Satan.
That much wind ain't natural.

767
00:37:18,903 --> 00:37:20,280
That's gin blowing.

768
00:37:20,371 --> 00:37:21,475
What's gin, Berenice?

769
00:37:21,573 --> 00:37:23,416
Now, you go inside, candy,

770
00:37:24,743 --> 00:37:26,416
and if you get caught
high like that,

771
00:37:26,478 --> 00:37:28,151
you're going to be
in trouble for sure.

772
00:37:28,246 --> 00:37:31,455
The parole man says so,
and remember, I've warned you.

773
00:37:31,549 --> 00:37:32,755
MR. ADDAMS: Honey,

774
00:37:35,153 --> 00:37:37,099
I need some help
down at my store.

775
00:37:37,155 --> 00:37:38,759
My porter's failed me again.

776
00:37:38,823 --> 00:37:40,734
I wonder if you could help me.

777
00:37:42,227 --> 00:37:43,672
I ain't got the time.

778
00:37:43,762 --> 00:37:44,968
He's got a job.

779
00:37:45,063 --> 00:37:47,270
He plays nights
at Sam's Café, Mr. Addams.

780
00:37:48,399 --> 00:37:50,606
Keep Frankie home.
I won't be back for supper

781
00:37:50,668 --> 00:37:52,841
I don't want her
running wild in the streets.

782
00:37:52,937 --> 00:37:54,507
All right, Mr. Addams.

783
00:37:56,407 --> 00:37:59,320
Liar! And you got
me lying, too.

784
00:37:59,410 --> 00:38:00,912
You're in Sam's
all night, playing,

785
00:38:00,979 --> 00:38:02,014
but you're playing
for nothing.

786
00:38:02,113 --> 00:38:03,456
And when you
ain't playing,

787
00:38:03,515 --> 00:38:05,119
you're drumming up
liquor parties.

788
00:38:05,183 --> 00:38:07,789
But I feel good
when I play.

789
00:38:07,852 --> 00:38:10,332
Berenice, I got to
have a dollar.

790
00:38:11,322 --> 00:38:13,632
You're barking up
the wrong tree, boy.

791
00:38:14,692 --> 00:38:16,694
One of these days,
I'm getting me a good job.

792
00:38:16,795 --> 00:38:19,002
Save my money,
get out of this town.

793
00:38:19,097 --> 00:38:21,134
You're just mean enough
to do that.

794
00:38:21,199 --> 00:38:23,179
Can't get a job to earn
your rent money,

795
00:38:23,268 --> 00:38:26,010
but you can to go away
and leave me alone to worry.

796
00:38:27,438 --> 00:38:28,644
Berenice,

797
00:38:29,874 --> 00:38:31,547
I got to have
a dollar.

798
00:38:35,547 --> 00:38:38,391
Here. At least
it'll stop you from stealing.

799
00:38:39,317 --> 00:38:41,558
Well, guess I'll be
dancing off now.

800
00:38:43,388 --> 00:38:45,800
Go away, boy.
You ain't fooling nobody.

801
00:38:46,558 --> 00:38:47,866
Don't worry.

802
00:38:47,959 --> 00:38:50,235
One buck ain't gonna
get me no ticket to Chicago.

803
00:39:02,240 --> 00:39:04,550
Frankie, <i>I'll</i> thank you
to do one thing or the other,

804
00:39:04,642 --> 00:39:06,246
eat or comb.

805
00:39:07,846 --> 00:39:09,519
I'm about to show you
something.

806
00:39:09,581 --> 00:39:11,652
What?
Frankie, what?

807
00:39:11,716 --> 00:39:12,820
You'll see.

808
00:39:14,252 --> 00:39:16,425
Now, don't come in here, mind.

809
00:39:16,521 --> 00:39:17,932
And don't peek!

810

(EXCLAIMS)

811
00:39:33,004 --> 00:39:34,347
Now, close your eyes,

812
00:39:34,405 --> 00:39:36,407
and don't open them
until I tell you.

813
00:39:42,780 --> 00:39:44,885
These are
the wedding clothes.

814
00:39:44,949 --> 00:39:47,190
Oh, how pretty!

815
00:39:57,695 --> 00:40:00,266
Well, what's the matter,
Berenice? Don't you like it?

816
00:40:00,365 --> 00:40:02,777
No. It don't do.

817
00:40:03,801 --> 00:40:05,576
What do you mean,
it don't do?

818
00:40:05,637 --> 00:40:07,981
Exactly that.
It just don't do.

819
00:40:09,307 --> 00:40:14,552
But I don't see what
you mean. What is wrong?

820
00:40:14,612 --> 00:40:16,717
Well, if you can't see
what is wrong,

821
00:40:16,781 --> 00:40:18,920
I can't explain it to you.

822
00:40:18,983 --> 00:40:20,963
Look at your head
to begin with.

823
00:40:21,052 --> 00:40:23,999
Done had all your hair
shaved off like a convict.

824
00:40:24,088 --> 00:40:26,591
You tie this ribbon around
this head with no hair,

825
00:40:26,658 --> 00:40:28,433
it looks peculiar.

826
00:40:28,493 --> 00:40:29,631
But I'm going to wash

827
00:40:29,727 --> 00:40:31,934
and try to stretch
my hair tonight.

828
00:40:31,996 --> 00:40:33,498
Stretch your hair?

829
00:40:33,598 --> 00:40:35,600
How you going to
stretch your hair?

830
00:40:35,667 --> 00:40:37,442
And look at them elbows.

831
00:40:37,502 --> 00:40:39,413
Done bought a grown woman's
evening dress.

832
00:40:39,470 --> 00:40:41,609
All that brown crust
on your elbows.

833
00:40:41,673 --> 00:40:43,277
The two things don't mix.

834
00:40:43,341 --> 00:40:45,651
Take it back.
Take it back to the store.

835
00:40:45,743 --> 00:40:48,451
But I can't take it back,
it's bargain basement.

(SIGHS)

837
00:40:49,614 --> 00:40:53,084
Well, lei me see
what I can do with it.

838
00:40:53,151 --> 00:40:54,528
I think you're just
not accustomed

839
00:40:54,619 --> 00:40:55,757
to seeing anybody
dressed up.

840
00:40:55,820 --> 00:40:56,821
(EXCLAIMS)

841
00:40:58,957 --> 00:41:00,868
I ain't accustomed to seeing

842
00:41:00,959 --> 00:41:03,496
human Christmas trees
in August.

843
00:41:03,594 --> 00:41:06,200
Frankie's dress looks
like a Christmas tree!

844
00:41:06,297 --> 00:41:07,537
Two-faced Judas!

845
00:41:07,632 --> 00:41:08,975
You just now said
it was pretty.

846
00:41:09,033 --> 00:41:10,603
Old double-faced Judas!

847
00:41:13,705 --> 00:41:15,446
Step... Step back a little.

848
00:41:16,774 --> 00:41:19,721
Now, don't you honestly think
it's pretty?

849
00:41:20,378 --> 00:41:22,289
Give me
your candy opinion.

850
00:41:23,281 --> 00:41:26,319
Frankie, I never knew
anybody so unreasonable.

851
00:41:26,384 --> 00:41:28,159
You ask me my candy opinion.

852
00:41:28,219 --> 00:41:30,130
I give you my candy opinion.

853
00:41:30,188 --> 00:41:32,498
You ask me again,
I give it again.

854
00:41:32,557 --> 00:41:35,561
But what you want
is not my honest opinion,

855
00:41:35,660 --> 00:41:38,539
but my good opinion
on something I know is wrong.

856
00:41:40,798 --> 00:41:42,641
Do you think they'd think
it looked funny?

857
00:41:42,700 --> 00:41:44,805
Yes, sugar, I honestly do.

858
00:41:47,739 --> 00:41:50,242
I only want to look pretty
for Janice and Jarvis.

859
00:41:50,341 --> 00:41:52,719
Frankie, you still
got your mind set

860
00:41:52,810 --> 00:41:54,221
on going with them,

861
00:41:54,312 --> 00:41:55,814
when you know
in your soul

862
00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:57,484
this mania of yours
is pure foolishness.

863
00:41:57,548 --> 00:41:59,721
I don't wish to have
to remind you anymore.

864
00:41:59,817 --> 00:42:01,353
Please call me
F. Jasmine.

865
00:42:01,419 --> 00:42:03,365
(EXCLAIMS ANGRILY)

866
00:42:03,421 --> 00:42:05,401
Furthermore,
I want to emphasize

867
00:42:05,490 --> 00:42:06,764
that everything good of mine

868
00:42:06,858 --> 00:42:08,360
has got to be
washed and ironed

869
00:42:08,426 --> 00:42:10,929
so I can pack them
in the suitcase.

870
00:42:11,029 --> 00:42:14,033
Everybody in town
believes that I'm leaving.

871
00:42:14,098 --> 00:42:15,839
All except Papa.

872
00:42:15,900 --> 00:42:17,607
He's stubborn as
an old mule.

873
00:42:17,702 --> 00:42:19,909
No use arguing
with people like that.

874
00:42:20,004 --> 00:42:22,416
Me and Mr. Addams
has got some sense.

875
00:42:22,507 --> 00:42:24,214
I told Papa this morning
I was going,

876
00:42:24,275 --> 00:42:26,221
but he wouldn't
listen to me.

877
00:42:26,277 --> 00:42:28,951
He never listens
to what I say.

878
00:42:29,047 --> 00:42:30,788
Sometimes I wonder
if Papa loves me or not.

879
00:42:30,882 --> 00:42:32,088
Of course he loves you.

880
00:42:32,183 --> 00:42:34,561
He's just a busy widowed man
set in his ways.

881
00:42:34,619 --> 00:42:36,394
I wonder if I can find
some tissue paper

882
00:42:36,454 --> 00:42:37,626
to line this suitcase.

883
00:42:39,390 --> 00:42:40,733
Look at me!

884
00:42:40,792 --> 00:42:41,770
Take that off!

885
00:42:41,859 --> 00:42:43,463
You gave it to me. You said...
Take it off!

886
00:42:43,561 --> 00:42:45,700
You just put it on
to make a show of me!

887
00:42:47,732 --> 00:42:49,871
Truly, Frankie,
what makes you think

888
00:42:49,934 --> 00:42:51,914
they want you tagging
along with them?

889
00:42:51,969 --> 00:42:54,074
Two is company,
three's a crowd.

890
00:42:54,138 --> 00:42:55,742
That's the main thing
about a wedding.

891
00:42:55,807 --> 00:42:56,979
You wait and see.

892
00:42:57,075 --> 00:42:59,214
Remember back
to the time of the flood.

893
00:42:59,277 --> 00:43:00,654
Remember Noah and the ark?

894
00:43:00,745 --> 00:43:02,122
And what has that
got to do with it?

895
00:43:02,213 --> 00:43:04,420
Remember the way
he admitted them creatures?

896
00:43:04,482 --> 00:43:06,428
Shut up,
you big old mouth!

897
00:43:06,484 --> 00:43:10,261
Two by two he admitted
them creatures. Two by two.

898
00:43:10,321 --> 00:43:12,323
That's all right. But you wait
and see, they will take me.

899
00:43:12,423 --> 00:43:13,925
And if they don't?

900
00:43:14,492 --> 00:43:16,301
And if they don't,

901
00:43:16,394 --> 00:43:17,771
I will kill myself.

902
00:43:17,829 --> 00:43:19,433
Kill yourself? How?

903
00:43:20,665 --> 00:43:22,474
I will shoot myself
in the side of the head

904
00:43:22,567 --> 00:43:23,807
with the pistol
that Papa keeps

905
00:43:23,901 --> 00:43:25,107
under his handkerchiefs

906
00:43:25,169 --> 00:43:27,445
with Mother's picture
in the bureau drawer.

907
00:43:27,505 --> 00:43:28,916
You know what
Mr. Addams said

908
00:43:28,973 --> 00:43:31,852
about you playing around
with that pistol.

909
00:43:31,943 --> 00:43:35,618
I've heard of a many
a peculiar thing in my day,

910
00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:38,684
but this idea of yours
is the most peculiar.

911
00:43:38,783 --> 00:43:41,787
I've known men to have fallen
in love with girls so ugly,

912
00:43:41,853 --> 00:43:43,696
you'd wonder if their eyes
are straight.

913
00:43:43,788 --> 00:43:45,790
Even known boys
to have fallen in love

914
00:43:45,857 --> 00:43:47,803
with women older
than their mothers.

915
00:43:47,859 --> 00:43:50,806
Take Honey.
He's in love with that horn.

916
00:43:50,862 --> 00:43:54,207
I've known people to have
fallen in love with their selves.

917
00:43:56,033 --> 00:43:58,377
Dear Lord, we thank thee

918
00:43:58,469 --> 00:44:01,541
for what we're about to
receive to nourish our body.

919
00:44:02,940 --> 00:44:04,044
Amen.

920
00:44:05,343 --> 00:44:07,880
And what was we talking about
in the first place?

921
00:44:07,979 --> 00:44:09,185
About peculiar things.

922
00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:11,157
Yes. As I was
just now saying,

923
00:44:11,215 --> 00:44:14,822
I've seen and heard of many
a peculiar thing in my day,

924
00:44:14,886 --> 00:44:16,991
but one thing I ain't never
seen or heard tell of,

925
00:44:17,054 --> 00:44:19,159
no, sir, never in all
my boring days

926
00:44:19,223 --> 00:44:20,566
have I ever heard of anybody

927
00:44:20,658 --> 00:44:22,001
falling in love
with a wedding.

928
00:44:22,059 --> 00:44:23,197
And you have to think...

929
00:44:23,294 --> 00:44:25,001
You know, I've come
to a conclusion.

930
00:44:25,062 --> 00:44:27,508
What you ought to be thinking
about, young lady, is a beau.

931
00:44:27,565 --> 00:44:29,067
Nice little beau.

932
00:44:29,167 --> 00:44:32,046
I don't want any beau.
What would I do with one?

933
00:44:33,171 --> 00:44:35,742
Do you mean something
like a soldier

934
00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:37,979
who would maybe take me
to the Blue Moon'?

935
00:44:38,042 --> 00:44:40,022
Who said anything
about soldiers?

936
00:44:40,077 --> 00:44:42,648
I'm talking about
a nice little white boy beau

937
00:44:42,713 --> 00:44:44,386
your own age.

938
00:44:44,482 --> 00:44:47,053
How about that
little old Barney next door?

939
00:44:48,386 --> 00:44:50,764
Barney McKean.
That nasty Barney?

940
00:44:50,855 --> 00:44:52,664
Certainly.
You can make outwith him

941
00:44:52,723 --> 00:44:55,067
till someone better
comes along. You do.

942
00:44:55,159 --> 00:44:58,038
You are the biggest crazy
in this town.

943
00:44:58,095 --> 00:45:00,268
Crazy calls
the sane the crazy.

944
00:45:01,933 --> 00:45:04,243
Him and that girl
down the block.

945
00:45:04,335 --> 00:45:06,941
They go to the alley
behind that Pats garage.

946
00:45:08,072 --> 00:45:09,415
I think maybe they smoke
or something.

947
00:45:09,507 --> 00:45:11,282
They don't lei
anybody watch them.

948
00:45:11,375 --> 00:45:13,082
I watched them once.

949
00:45:14,679 --> 00:45:15,953
What do they do?

950
00:45:16,047 --> 00:45:17,617

I didn't count Ludie,
it wouldn't be fair,

comes over you.

I'm not going
to marry with him.

But you are
just now saying...

I was just now saying
how sincerely I respect T.T.,

00:48:35,713 --> 00:48:37,818
and how sincerely
I regard T.T.

Listen, Berenice.

There's something queer
I have to tell you.

1026
00:48:47,591 --> 00:48:49,161
It's... It's something
that happened to me

1027
00:48:49,260 --> 00:48:52,139
when I was riding
around town today.

1028
00:48:52,229 --> 00:48:56,507
Now, I don't exactly know
how to explain what I mean.

1029
00:48:56,600 --> 00:48:58,602
Then what is it?

1030
00:48:58,669 --> 00:49:02,242
Well, I was riding along

1031
00:49:02,306 --> 00:49:05,116
and I passed two stores
with an alley in between.

1032
00:49:05,176 --> 00:49:07,679
The sun was frying hot.

1033
00:49:07,778 --> 00:49:10,315
And just as I passed
this alley,

1034
00:49:10,414 --> 00:49:11,859
I caught a glimpse
of something

1035
00:49:11,949 --> 00:49:13,519
out of the comer
of my left eye.

1036
00:49:14,318 --> 00:49:15,854
A dark double shape.

1037
00:49:17,521 --> 00:49:20,661
And this glimpse brought to
my mind, so sudden and clear,

1038
00:49:20,758 --> 00:49:23,466
my brother and the bride,
that I just stopped

1039
00:49:23,527 --> 00:49:27,202
and couldn't hardly bear
to look and see what it was.

1040
00:49:27,298 --> 00:49:30,438
And then I turned
slowly and look.

1041
00:49:32,369 --> 00:49:34,315
And you know
what was there?

1042
00:49:38,676 --> 00:49:40,883
Ii was just two boys.
That was all.

1043
00:49:42,146 --> 00:49:44,490
But it gave me
such a queer feeling.

1044
00:49:45,983 --> 00:49:49,157
This is the most remarkable
thing I ever heard of.

1045
00:49:49,220 --> 00:49:50,198
What I mean is...

1046
00:49:50,287 --> 00:49:52,631
I know. I know
what you mean.

1047
00:49:54,391 --> 00:49:57,497
You mean right here
in the corner of your eyes,

1048
00:49:57,561 --> 00:50:00,167
you suddenly catch something.

1049
00:50:00,231 --> 00:50:02,837
A shiver runs through you.
You whirl around,

1050
00:50:02,900 --> 00:50:05,904
stand there facing
you don't know what.

1051
00:50:06,837 --> 00:50:09,249
But not Ludie,
not who you want.

1052
00:50:10,574 --> 00:50:12,349
And for a minute,
you feel like

1053
00:50:12,409 --> 00:50:14,252
you've been dropped
down a well.

1054
00:50:15,846 --> 00:50:17,257
Yes, that's it.

1055
00:50:18,415 --> 00:50:20,190
It's mighty remarkable.

1056
00:50:21,385 --> 00:50:24,059

to me all my life.

the first time

put into words.

Yes, that's the way it is
when you're in love.

1060
00:50:36,166 --> 00:50:39,113
I always maintained
I never believed in love.

1061
00:50:39,203 --> 00:50:40,944
I never
believed in love.

1062
00:50:42,373 --> 00:50:46,048
I have something to tell you,
and ifs to be a warning.

1063
00:50:46,110 --> 00:50:49,216
You hear me, Frankie?
You hear me, John Henry?

1064
00:50:49,280 --> 00:50:51,556
Yes. I hear you,

I'm here to tell you
I was happy.

1066

No human woman
in all the world

1067
00:50:56,787 --> 00:50:58,425
was happier than I was
in them days.

1068
00:50:58,522 --> 00:51:00,468
And that includes
everybody.

1069
00:51:00,558 --> 00:51:03,732
The five years
you were married to Ludie.

1070
00:51:03,794 --> 00:51:06,798
From that autumn morning
when I first met him

1071
00:51:06,897 --> 00:51:09,901
on the road in front
of Campbell's Filling Station,

1072
00:51:09,967 --> 00:51:12,208
up until the very night
he died,

1073
00:51:12,803 --> 00:51:16,945
November, the year 1940.

1074
00:51:17,041 --> 00:51:19,647
The very year and
the very month I was born.

1075
00:51:20,878 --> 00:51:24,792
Ii was Thursday.
Thursday, long towards 6:00.

1076
00:51:24,882 --> 00:51:28,056
Around this time of day,
only November.

1077
00:51:28,118 --> 00:51:29,722
I remember
I went to the passage

1078
00:51:29,787 --> 00:51:31,460
and opened the front door.

1079
00:51:32,089 --> 00:51:34,000
Dark was coming on.

1080
00:51:34,091 --> 00:51:36,332
An old hound
was howling far away.

1081
00:51:37,761 --> 00:51:41,004
And I go back in the room
and lay down on Ludie's bed.

1082
00:51:42,666 --> 00:51:45,112
And I lay myself over Ludie

1083
00:51:46,236 --> 00:51:48,182
with my arms spread out

1084
00:51:49,106 --> 00:51:51,347
and my face on his face.

1085
00:51:53,077 --> 00:51:56,820
And I prayed
and asked the Lord

1086
00:51:58,182 --> 00:52:03,291
to contage my strength,
my strength to him.

1087
00:52:06,090 --> 00:52:09,367
I even asked the Lord
to let ii be anybody,

1088
00:52:10,861 --> 00:52:13,034
but please don't
let it be Ludie.

1089
00:52:14,531 --> 00:52:17,774
I laid there, I prayed.

1090
00:52:19,169 --> 00:52:20,773
Oh, how I've prayed.

1091
00:52:22,039 --> 00:52:23,950
Prayed for a long time,

1092
00:52:24,608 --> 00:52:25,848
until night.

1093
00:52:33,450 --> 00:52:35,191
Yet, that night he died.

1094
00:52:36,720 --> 00:52:38,324
I tell you he died.

1095
00:52:40,057 --> 00:52:41,127
Ludie.

(HUMMING MOURNFUL TUNE)

1099
00:53:04,915 --> 00:53:07,828
It seems to me,
I feel sadder about Ludie

1100
00:53:07,885 --> 00:53:09,364
than any other dead person,

1101
00:53:10,521 --> 00:53:12,364
although I never knew him.

1102
00:53:14,091 --> 00:53:17,072
I know I ought to cry
sometimes about my mother,

1103
00:53:17,161 --> 00:53:19,004
but it looks like I can't.

1104
00:53:20,197 --> 00:53:21,505
But Ludie...

1105
00:53:23,333 --> 00:53:26,439
Maybe it was because I was
born so soon after Ludie died.

1106
00:53:29,239 --> 00:53:30,411
But you were starting out

1107
00:53:30,507 --> 00:53:32,009
to tell some kind of
a warning.

1108
00:53:33,844 --> 00:53:36,120
Don't you see
what I was doing?

1109
00:53:36,213 --> 00:53:37,556
I loved Ludie.

1110
00:53:38,348 --> 00:53:41,454
He was the first man
I ever loved.

1111
00:53:41,552 --> 00:53:45,398
Therefore, I had to go
and copy myself forever after.

1112
00:53:45,456 --> 00:53:49,097
And what I did
was to marry off

1113
00:53:49,193 --> 00:53:52,299
just little pieces of Ludie
wherever I run across them.

1114
00:53:53,363 --> 00:53:55,934
And it was my misfortune

1115
00:53:56,033 --> 00:53:59,037
they all turned out to be
the wrong pieces.

1116
00:54:00,637 --> 00:54:03,914
But my intentions
was to repeat me and Ludie.

1117
00:54:04,808 --> 00:54:06,151
Now don't you see?

1118
00:54:07,311 --> 00:54:09,154
I see what
you're driving at.

1119
00:54:09,246 --> 00:54:12,227
But I don't see how it is
a warning applied to me.

1120
00:54:12,282 --> 00:54:13,818
You don't?

1121
00:54:14,485 --> 00:54:16,089
Then I'll tell you.

1122
00:54:16,987 --> 00:54:18,625
You and that wedding tomorrow,

1123
00:54:18,722 --> 00:54:20,724
that's what
I'm warning you about.

1124
00:54:21,825 --> 00:54:24,635
I see what you have in mind,
don't think I don't.

1125
00:54:25,896 --> 00:54:28,240
You think you're going to
march up to the preacher,

1126
00:54:28,298 --> 00:54:31,643
right in between
your brother and the bride.

1127
00:54:31,735 --> 00:54:35,012
You think you're going
to break into that wedding,

1128
00:54:35,105 --> 00:54:36,675
and heavens only knows
what else.

1129
00:54:36,774 --> 00:54:38,651
No.

1130
00:54:38,742 --> 00:54:42,189
I don't see myself walking
to the preacher with them.

1131
00:54:42,279 --> 00:54:45,123
I see through them eyes,
don't argue with me.

1132
00:54:45,949 --> 00:54:48,190
And what I'm warning you
is this.

1133
00:54:50,120 --> 00:54:53,533
If you fall in love with some
unheard of thing like this,

1134
00:54:54,792 --> 00:54:57,329
what is ever going
to happen to you?

1135
00:54:57,427 --> 00:55:00,465
Will you be trying
to break into weddings

1136
00:55:00,531 --> 00:55:02,135
the rest of your days?

1137
00:55:02,199 --> 00:55:03,473
It makes me sick
to listen to people

1138
00:55:03,534 --> 00:55:05,775
who don't have any sense!

1139
00:55:05,836 --> 00:55:08,476
You just like to talk
about Ludie, that's all,

1140
00:55:08,539 --> 00:55:11,145
it's got nothing
to do with me!

1141
00:55:11,208 --> 00:55:13,347
You're setting yourself
this fancy trap

1142
00:55:13,443 --> 00:55:14,854
to catch yourself
in trouble,

1143
00:55:14,945 --> 00:55:16,288
and you know it.

1144
00:55:16,346 --> 00:55:18,622
They will take me,
you wait and see!

1145
00:55:19,650 --> 00:55:22,290
I'm only trying
to reason seriously,

1146
00:55:22,352 --> 00:55:23,854
but I see it's no use.

1147
00:55:23,954 --> 00:55:25,160
You're just jealous!

1148
00:55:25,222 --> 00:55:26,633
You're just trying
to deprive me

1149
00:55:26,690 --> 00:55:29,330
of all the pleasure
of leaving town.

Well, you didn't say anything
about Willis Rhodes.

1154
00:55:49,580 --> 00:55:51,753
Why'd you marry him?

1155
00:55:51,849 --> 00:55:54,056
He have a mashed thumb,

he stole your furniture.

He was so terrible,
you had to call the law.

That ain't all.

wintertime, John Henry?

there come a sloughing sound,

and works up people's interest
and then stops!

but it was one of them things

I suddenly realized

1191
00:57:26,276 --> 00:57:28,779
I couldn't tell you
and John Henry.

1192
00:57:28,845 --> 00:57:30,756
You could've sent him
out of the room and told me.

Oh, no, precious,

do that either.

Don't think I care a particle
about what happened.

1196

I just wish Willis Rhodes
had come in about that time

00:57:39,690 --> 00:57:41,169

and scrub with the brush.

this crust off my elbows,

1206
00:58:01,378 --> 00:58:03,654
then let out the dirty water,
take a second bath.

Great. Good idea.

I'd be glad to see
you clean for a change.

00:58:07,818 --> 00:58:09,889
I will take two baths.

Why is ii against the law
to change your name?

What's that on your neck?

1212
00:58:15,392 --> 00:58:17,167
Thought that was a head
you carried on that neck.

1213
00:58:17,227 --> 00:58:19,173
Just think.

1214
00:58:19,229 --> 00:58:24,178
Suppose I ups and calls myself
Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt.

1215
00:58:24,234 --> 00:58:27,738
John Henry here tries
to palm himself off as Henry Ford.

Don't talk childish.

1217
00:58:29,139 --> 00:58:31,517
That's not the kind of
changing I mean.

1218
00:58:31,575 --> 00:58:33,680
I mean from a name

1219
00:58:33,744 --> 00:58:35,917
that doesn't suit you
to a name you prefer.

1220
00:58:36,013 --> 00:58:39,358
Like I'd change
from Frankie to F. Jasmine.

1221
00:58:39,416 --> 00:58:41,896
But it would still
be confusion.

1222
00:58:41,985 --> 00:58:44,056
Suppose we all decided
to change

1223
00:58:44,154 --> 00:58:46,156
to entirely different names.

1224
00:58:46,223 --> 00:58:48,362
Nobody would know
who anybody was talking about.

1225
00:58:48,425 --> 00:58:49,904
The whole world
would go crazy.

1226
00:58:49,993 --> 00:58:51,995
FRANKIE: I don't see what that
has to do with it.

1227
00:58:52,062 --> 00:58:55,373
Because things accumulate
around a name.

1228
00:58:55,432 --> 00:58:56,536
You have a name,

1229
00:58:56,600 --> 00:58:58,876
one thing after another
happens to you,

1230
00:58:58,935 --> 00:59:01,506
things have accumulated
around your name.

1231
00:59:01,571 --> 00:59:04,415
But what has accumulated
around my old name?

1232
00:59:04,508 --> 00:59:05,748
Nothing, see?

1233
00:59:05,842 --> 00:59:07,844
My name just didn't
mean anything.

1234
00:59:07,911 --> 00:59:10,755
Until yesterday,
nothing ever happened to me.

1235
00:59:10,847 --> 00:59:12,918
But it will.
Things will happen.

1236
00:59:13,550 --> 00:59:14,551
What?

1237
00:59:22,692 --> 00:59:23,693
Halt.

1238
00:59:24,594 --> 00:59:26,870
Take off my shoes,

1239
00:59:26,930 --> 00:59:32,073
my hat, my pocketbook,
and I thank you very much.

1240
00:59:34,604 --> 00:59:36,481
Listen, Berenice.

1241
00:59:36,573 --> 00:59:38,746
Doesn't it strike you
as strange

1242
00:59:38,809 --> 00:59:41,380
that I am I,
and you are you?

1243
00:59:41,445 --> 00:59:43,322
Like when you
walk down the street

1244
00:59:43,413 --> 00:59:45,086
and you meet somebody,

1245
00:59:45,148 --> 00:59:47,389
and you are you,
and he is him.

1246
00:59:48,752 --> 00:59:50,254
Yet, when you
look at each other,

1247
00:59:50,320 --> 00:59:52,926
the eyes make a connection.

1248
00:59:52,989 --> 00:59:55,492
Then you go off one way
and he goes off another way.

1249
00:59:56,660 --> 00:59:58,105
And maybe you never see
each other again,

1250
00:59:58,161 --> 00:59:59,765
not in your whole life.

1251
00:59:59,830 --> 01:00:01,832
Do you see what I mean?

1252
01:00:02,332 --> 01:00:04,437
Not exactly.

1253
01:00:04,501 --> 01:00:06,777
That's not what I meant
to say anyway.

1254
01:00:06,837 --> 01:00:08,839
I'm talking about this town.

1255
01:00:08,939 --> 01:00:10,441
There are all
those people here in town

1256
01:00:10,507 --> 01:00:12,783
that I don't even know
by sight or name.

1257
01:00:12,843 --> 01:00:15,653
And now I'm leaving town

1258
01:00:15,745 --> 01:00:18,248
and there are all those people
I will never know.

1259
01:00:18,315 --> 01:00:20,261
Well, who is it
you want to know?

1260
01:00:20,317 --> 01:00:22,024
Everybody.

1261
01:00:22,119 --> 01:00:24,030
Everybody in the world.

1262
01:00:24,121 --> 01:00:25,964
Well, just listen to that.
It would take you

1263
01:00:26,022 --> 01:00:28,468
over 200,000 years
to know everybody.

1264
01:00:28,525 --> 01:00:29,663
That's not what I mean.

1265
01:00:29,759 --> 01:00:31,261
That's not what
I'm talking about!

1266
01:00:31,328 --> 01:00:32,500
Then what do you mean,

1267
01:00:32,596 --> 01:00:34,132
and what are you
talking about?

1268
01:00:34,197 --> 01:00:35,471
Let's play out, Frankie.

1269
01:00:35,532 --> 01:00:36,875
No, you go!

1270
01:00:38,001 --> 01:00:39,173
This is what I mean.

1271
01:00:39,269 --> 01:00:40,339
What on earth
is wrong with you?

1272
01:00:40,437 --> 01:00:43,816
Man, oh, boy! Boy, oh, man!
When we leave Winter Hill,

1273
01:00:43,874 --> 01:00:45,148
we're going to more places

1274
01:00:45,208 --> 01:00:47,620
than you ever thought about
or even knew existed.

1275
01:00:47,677 --> 01:00:48,883
Just where we'll go first,
I don't know,

1276
01:00:48,979 --> 01:00:50,185
and it don't matter,

1277
01:00:50,280 --> 01:00:51,350
because after we go
to that place,

1278
01:00:51,448 --> 01:00:53,223
we're going on to another.

1279
01:00:53,316 --> 01:00:56,729
Alaska, China, Iceland,
South America.

1280
01:00:56,820 --> 01:01:00,063
Traveling on trains,
riding a rip on motorcycles,

1281
01:01:00,157 --> 01:01:02,159
flying all over the world
in airplanes!

1282
01:01:02,225 --> 01:01:04,136
Here today and gone tomorrow,
all over the world!

1283
01:01:04,194 --> 01:01:05,332
It's the whole truth.
Boy, oh, man!

1284
01:01:05,395 --> 01:01:06,533
Now, Frank...

1285
01:01:06,630 --> 01:01:07,904
And talking
of things happening,

1286
01:01:07,998 --> 01:01:09,170
things will happen so fast,

1287
01:01:09,232 --> 01:01:11,007
we won't hardly have time
to realize them.

1288

wins highest medals

and is decorated
by the president.

breaks all records.

Mrs. Janice Addams

1292
01:01:18,909 --> 01:01:21,515
elected Miss United Nations
in beauty contest.

1293

One thing after another,

1294
01:01:23,013 --> 01:01:25,391
happening so fast,
we'd hardly realize it.

1295
01:01:25,482 --> 01:01:26,688
Hold still...
And we'll meet them.

1296
01:01:26,750 --> 01:01:28,252
Everybody.

1297
01:01:28,351 --> 01:01:31,195
We'll just walk up to people
and know them right away.

1298
01:01:31,254 --> 01:01:33,063
We'll be walking down
a dark road

1299
01:01:33,156 --> 01:01:35,363
and see a lighted house
and knock on the door,

1300
01:01:35,425 --> 01:01:37,405
and strangers will rush
to meet us and say,

1301
01:01:37,494 --> 01:01:39,667
“Come in! Come in!”

1302
01:01:39,729 --> 01:01:41,538
We will know
decorated aviators,

1303
01:01:41,598 --> 01:01:43,874
and New York people,
and movie stars.

1304
01:01:43,934 --> 01:01:46,414
And we'll have thousands
and thousands of friends.

1305
01:01:46,503 --> 01:01:48,005
We'll belong to
so many clubs

1306
01:01:48,071 --> 01:01:50,244
that we can't even
keep track of them all.

1307
01:01:50,340 --> 01:01:53,878
We will be members
of the whole world.

1308

Berenice understands.

1315

And now, Berenice wants you

1316

01:02:28,912 --> 01:02:29,947
a little bit of love.

What is she doing
so mean right now?

1326
01:02:34,818 --> 01:02:36,923
Just laying here,
all wore out,

1327
01:02:36,987 --> 01:02:38,330
trying to get some rest.

1328
01:02:41,992 --> 01:02:45,405
If I have to be me
for the rest of my life,

1329
01:02:45,462 --> 01:02:47,772
I think I'll go crazy.

1330
01:02:50,100 --> 01:02:53,013
Sometimes I feel like
I just can't breathe anymore.

1331
01:02:53,570 --> 01:02:54,981
I feel like I just wish

1332
01:02:55,071 --> 01:02:58,109
I could tear down
the whole town.

1333
01:02:58,174 --> 01:03:01,348
So, I've heard you mention,
but that don't help none.

1334
01:03:03,113 --> 01:03:05,423
We go around trying
first one thing

1335
01:03:05,482 --> 01:03:07,359
and then another.

1336
01:03:07,450 --> 01:03:09,862
Yet, we're still caught,
just the same.

1337
01:03:09,953 --> 01:03:12,797
That's the way I see it
in my mind's eye.

1338
01:03:12,856 --> 01:03:15,530
Berenice, which eye is
your mind's eye?

1339
01:03:15,625 --> 01:03:18,435
Don't yank my head back
like that, candy.

ain't going to float

through the ceiling
and leave you.

1342

I wonder if you've ever
thought about this?

1343

Here we are, right now,
this very minute, now.

01:23:32,174 --> 01:23:35,053
solemn-looking
and ghost-gray.

1578
01:23:36,044 --> 01:23:37,853
I don't see
why he had to suffer so,

1579
01:23:37,913 --> 01:23:39,256
that poor little soul.

1580
01:23:40,582 --> 01:23:42,687
I never believed
John Henry would die.

1581
01:23:43,519 --> 01:23:45,521
Ifs funny.

1582
01:23:45,587 --> 01:23:47,931
I felt so sad,
and I missed him so much,

1583
01:23:48,991 --> 01:23:51,335
but lately I can hardly
even picture him.

1584
01:23:51,393 --> 01:23:53,270
He's like
a little white ghost

1585
01:23:53,362 --> 01:23:55,103
going further
and further away.

1586
01:23:56,031 --> 01:23:58,409
And to think I said,
“Run along, candy.

1587
01:23:58,500 --> 01:24:00,878
“I don't have the patience
to fool with you."

1588
01:24:00,936 --> 01:24:03,109
it's just judgment on me.

1589
01:24:03,205 --> 01:24:05,014
I'm forgetting
about him.

1590
01:24:05,073 --> 01:24:08,020
Sometimes I never think
of him once, all day long.

1591
01:24:08,076 --> 01:24:10,283
That's natural.
You're growing up.

1592
01:24:13,115 --> 01:24:15,595
I'll thank you
not to be banging

1593
01:24:15,684 --> 01:24:18,221
that old sewing machine
around like that.

1594
01:24:18,287 --> 01:24:20,597
I've had 22 years
service out of it,

1595
01:24:20,689 --> 01:24:22,600
and there's still
plenty use in it yet.

1596
01:24:22,691 --> 01:24:23,965
Okay, okay.

1597
01:24:26,795 --> 01:24:29,366
Berenice, I wish you didn't
have to give quitting orders

1598
01:24:29,431 --> 01:24:31,638
just because
we're all moving together.

1599
01:24:31,733 --> 01:24:33,644
But your papa
won't be needing me

1600
01:24:33,735 --> 01:24:35,976
with your Aunt Pat
keeping house.

1601
01:24:36,071 --> 01:24:37,049
What's that?

1602
01:24:37,105 --> 01:24:38,709
Rachmaninoff.

1603
01:24:38,774 --> 01:24:41,311
I'm just mad
about Rachmaninoff.

1604
01:24:41,410 --> 01:24:43,617
Mary is just beginning
this concerto.

1605
01:24:43,712 --> 01:24:47,057
She may play it for her debut
when she is 18 years old.

1606
01:24:47,115 --> 01:24:48,651
Mary playing the piano,

1607
01:24:48,750 --> 01:24:50,388
and a whole orchestra

1608
01:24:50,452 --> 01:24:52,659
playing at one
and the same time, mind you.

1609
01:24:53,755 --> 01:24:55,063
Awfully hard.

1610
01:24:55,123 --> 01:24:57,660
Mary Little-john?

1611
01:24:58,660 --> 01:25:00,333
I don't know why
you always have to speak

1612
01:25:00,429 --> 01:25:03,069
her name in a tinged voice
like that.

1613
01:25:03,131 --> 01:25:05,611
Have I ever said anything
against her?

1614
01:25:05,667 --> 01:25:07,271
All I said was
she's too lumpy,

1615
01:25:07,336 --> 01:25:08,815
marshmallow white,

1616
01:25:08,904 --> 01:25:10,076
and she makes me nervous

1617
01:25:10,138 --> 01:25:12,778
to see her sitting there
sucking on them pigtails.

1618
01:25:12,841 --> 01:25:14,149
Braids.

1619
01:25:14,810 --> 01:25:15,982
Furthermore, there's no use

1620
01:25:16,078 --> 01:25:17,580
our discussing
a certain party.

1621
01:25:18,614 --> 01:25:20,287
You could never
possibly understand,

1622
01:25:20,349 --> 01:25:21,851
it's just not in you.

1623
01:25:21,950 --> 01:25:23,623
Be that as it may,

1624
01:25:23,685 --> 01:25:27,428
let us not fuss or quarrel
our last afternoon.

1625
01:25:29,091 --> 01:25:31,298
I don't want
to fuss either.

1626
01:25:31,360 --> 01:25:33,772
Besides, it's not
our last afternoon.

1627
01:25:33,829 --> 01:25:35,706
I'll come and
see you often.

1628
01:25:35,797 --> 01:25:36,707
(CHUCKLES)

1629
01:25:39,167 --> 01:25:41,443
No, you won't, baby.

1630
01:25:41,503 --> 01:25:43,346
You'll have
other things to do.

1631
01:25:43,438 --> 01:25:46,385
Your road is already
strange to me now.

1632
01:25:48,477 --> 01:25:51,788
You still have the fox fur
that Ludie gave you.

1633
01:25:51,847 --> 01:25:55,488
Somehow this little fur
looks so sad, so thin,

1634
01:25:56,852 --> 01:25:59,526
with a sad little
fox-wise face.

1635
01:25:59,621 --> 01:26:01,658
Got every reason
to look sad

1636
01:26:01,723 --> 01:26:04,135
with what's happened
these past few months.

1637
01:26:05,060 --> 01:26:06,334
And I just don't know...

1638
01:26:06,395 --> 01:26:09,672
I don't know
what I've done to deserve it.

1639
01:26:09,731 --> 01:26:12,644
The way Honey looked
when the judge said 10 years.

1640
01:26:14,202 --> 01:26:17,740
John Henry,
my little boy, gone.

1641
01:26:18,974 --> 01:26:21,580
It's peculiar the way
it all happened so fast.

1642
01:26:21,677 --> 01:26:23,486
First Honey caught,

1643
01:26:23,545 --> 01:26:26,185
then later in that same week,
John Henry died,

1644
01:26:27,249 --> 01:26:29,559
and then I got to know Mary.

1645
01:26:29,651 --> 01:26:31,358
As the irony of fate
would have it,

1646
01:26:31,420 --> 01:26:33,263
we first got to know
each other

1647
01:26:33,355 --> 01:26:35,164
in front of the lipsticks
and cosmetics counter

1648
01:26:35,223 --> 01:26:36,702
at Woolworth's.

1649
01:26:36,758 --> 01:26:38,328
And it was the week
of the fair.

1650
01:26:38,994 --> 01:26:41,372
Frankie. Hey, Frankie.

1651
01:26:41,430 --> 01:26:42,875
Yes, Barney.

1652
01:26:42,931 --> 01:26:44,239
Is Mary there?

1653
01:26:44,332 --> 01:26:45,572
No.

1654
01:26:45,667 --> 01:26:47,374
It's Barney McKean.

1655
01:26:47,436 --> 01:26:50,042
I'm meeting her
at our new house at 5:00.

1656
01:26:50,105 --> 01:26:52,244
Come on in, Barney,
won't you?

1657
01:26:52,340 --> 01:26:53,444
Okay-

1658
01:26:55,711 --> 01:26:58,123
Barney puts me in mind
of a Greek god.

1659
01:26:59,214 --> 01:27:00,921
Barney puts you
in mind of what?

1660
01:27:01,016 --> 01:27:02,757
Of a Greek god.

1661
01:27:02,851 --> 01:27:06,389
Mary remarked that Barney
reminded her of a Greek god.

1662
01:27:06,455 --> 01:27:08,731
It looks like
I can't understand

1663
01:27:08,790 --> 01:27:10,531
a thing you say no more.

1664
01:27:10,592 --> 01:27:12,094
You know,
those old-timey Greeks

1665
01:27:12,194 --> 01:27:14,071
worshipped those
Greek gods.

1666
01:27:14,129 --> 01:27:16,973
But what has that got to do
with Barney McKean?

1667
01:27:17,065 --> 01:27:18,874
On account of the figure.

1668
01:27:21,570 --> 01:27:23,948
Hi, Greek god Barney.

1669
01:27:25,373 --> 01:27:27,148
This afternoon
I seen your initials

1670
01:27:27,242 --> 01:27:28,653
chalked down on the sidewalk.

1671
01:27:28,744 --> 01:27:30,985
“M.L. loves BM.”

1672
01:27:31,079 --> 01:27:32,490
If I could find out
who did it,

1673
01:27:32,581 --> 01:27:33,958
I'd rub it out
with their faces.

1674
01:27:34,049 --> 01:27:35,221
Did you do it, Frankie?

1675
01:27:35,283 --> 01:27:37,126
I wouldn't do
a kid thing like that.

1676
01:27:37,219 --> 01:27:39,062
I even resent you
asking me.

1677
01:27:40,489 --> 01:27:42,264
Resent you asking me.

1678
01:27:42,324 --> 01:27:44,326
Mary can't stand me anyhow.

1679
01:27:44,426 --> 01:27:46,770
Yes, she can stand you.

1680
01:27:46,828 --> 01:27:49,502
I'm her most intimate friend,
I ought to know.

1681
01:27:49,598 --> 01:27:51,168
As a matter of fact,
she's told me

1682
01:27:51,266 --> 01:27:53,974
several lovely
compliments about you.

1683
01:27:54,069 --> 01:27:56,242
I'm riding on the moving van
to our new house.

1684
01:27:56,304 --> 01:27:57,578
Would you like
to come along?

1685
01:27:57,639 --> 01:27:59,118
Sure.
Okay.

1686
01:27:59,174 --> 01:28:00,653
You can ride back
with the furniture,

1687
01:28:00,742 --> 01:28:03,245
'cause I'm riding on the
front seat with the driver.

1688
01:28:03,311 --> 01:28:06,485
We got a letter from Janice
and Jarvis this afternoon.

1689
01:28:06,581 --> 01:28:09,824
Jarvis is stationed with
the occupation forces in Germany,

1690
01:28:09,918 --> 01:28:12,524
and they took
a vacation trip to Luxembourg.

1691
01:28:13,421 --> 01:28:14,764
Luxembourg.

1692
01:28:16,124 --> 01:28:18,798
Don't you think
that's a lovely name, Berenice?

1693
01:28:19,661 --> 01:28:22,141
Kind of pretty name,

1694
01:28:22,197 --> 01:28:25,542
but it reminds me
of soapy water.

1695
01:28:25,634 --> 01:28:29,013
Mary and I will most likely
<i>pass</i> through Luxembourg

1696
01:28:29,104 --> 01:28:31,675
when we are going
around the world together.

1697
01:28:36,044 --> 01:28:37,990
I'll see you soon, Berenice.

1698
01:28:40,282 --> 01:28:41,556
Sure, baby.

1699
01:28:45,687 --> 01:28:48,133
(HUMMING)
