Mr. Rarick will see you.

Mr. Rarick, I'd like to have
a statement for our paper.

I have no statement to make,
sir.

Except that..

Well, my business
has become so big in the East

that I've decided to reside
in New York in the future

to take care of it.

Is it true that you bought

the Van Renstrym Mansion
on Fifth Avenue?

Oh, yes, that's-that's been
known for some time.

Will you remain
in the five-and-ten-cent

store business, Mr. Rarick?

Well, I, I see no reason
why I shouldn't.

Business has been
very profitable so far.

Of course, later on,
I may expand

and put in a
higher grade of merchandise.

In that case,
we'll charge 15 cents.

Yes, sir. Yes.

Your family are with you,
of course.

Oh, yes, yes, naturally.

Your son, will he enter
your business in New York?

Eventually, yes.

Is it true you've bought
the Grayson chain?

I...I don't care to make any
statement on that point, sir.

- Good day.
- Good day.

- Thank you, Mr. Rarick.
- Yes.

Well, who was it, darling?

A reporter from one
of the New York papers.

- New York?
- Yeah.

We're quite important people
now, it seems.

So it seems.

Papa, did you tell them
to put my picture

in the society column?

Oh, you make me sick.

Papa, did you tell them
I was along?

- Oh, who are you?
- Hey, I'm gonna kill you.

- With that habit right now.
- No, you stop that.

Cut that out. Cut it out.

- Stop it.
- You're a big shot in Kansas.

Soon you're gonna be
in New York.

Stop! Avery, you're hurting her.

Is that dignified, I ask you.

Well, I'm glad he didn't get
a picture of that.

Children of the
five-and-ten-cent store king

just forced themselves
in their first private car.

Say, that would be an idea, dad.

Since it's always expected
of a Kansas City hick.

Rarick boy eats peas
with knife

while Madam Rarick
drinks from saucer.

I beg your pardon?

Don't pay any attention
to him, mother.

Wait until we get
into that Van Renstrym Mansion.

We'll show them,
won't we, darling?

I hope we do.
We'll try anyway.

- Dinner is served.
- Dinner! I'm starved.

Dinner's served.

Come on, papa.

My career..

I was now the owner
of my first store.

It enabled me
to carry out my own ideas.

From that time forth, no article
was sold in the Rarick store

for over ten cents.

Was the store a success
immediately, Mr. Rarick?

Far from it.
It was very difficult.

Some time before the public
would accept the idea.

They were amused,
but they wouldn't come in.

There was a time
when I was forced to accept

a small legacy
left to my wife--

Your wife?

You haven't mentioned
your wife in your biography.

No, I haven't, have I?

When were you married?

The day the...deal was closed
for the store.

Oh, I see, you acquired
two things on the same day.

Five-and-ten-cent store
and wife.

Yeah, quite true,
quite true.

There's a photograph
of the wife, taken with me

in front of the store
the day we were married.

Oh, very interesting.

Here, there's another one
taken on our wedding tour.

Niagara Falls.

We wanted very much
to take a walking trip

through the Pyrenees.

But I was so busy,
we only got as far as..

...Niagara Falls.

I suppose the walking trip
came later.

Uh, well,
I was a very busy man.

Most of my trips were hurried,
on business.

Mrs. Rarick took many pleasure
trips, she and the children.

Is it your opinion
that great wealth

has a demoralizing influence
on the family?

Demoralizing, family?

Oh, what nonsense.

Take my son, for instance.

He's exactly
as I was at his age.

Studious, attentive
to his business.

Is that so?

My daughter, democratic

totally unspoiled.

Remarkable.

My wife, same sweet,
small-town girl

that she always was.

- Unselfish, loyal to her foll--
- Is that so?

And she's exactly the same
today as she was then.

Same loyalty, same regard
for my welfare.

Why, she's wrapped up
in her family and her children.

Yes, sir, and me..

Hey, come here, come here,
come here, come here, yeah.

Yeah, I want you to meet
Mr. Brooks.

- Mr. Brooks, here's my wife.
- How do you do, Mr. Brooks?

Yeah, we've been
talking about you.

I hope you don't expect
Mr. Brooks

to believe all these things.

Oh, I certainly do.

What's more, he's going to use
them in my biography.

Yes, well, that'll do
for today.

Oh-oh-oh, no, dear. I-I just
stopped in to say goodbye.

I don't want you
to stop on my account.

Oh, I won't.
I've got plenty of things to do.

We'll get together one day next
week, Brooks.

Alright, good day, Mrs. Rarick.

Yeah, go-good day, good day.

Yeah..
Yeah, I was just showing, uh

Brooks some of these old
photographs of us.

Oh, heavens,
did I ever look like that?

I made that funny
little old dress myself, John.

Yeah?

You used to like it too,
remember?

Yeah, I still do,
it's a very pretty dress.

Yes.

John?

What are you doing
this evening?

I have a very
important conference.

Oh.

Why?

Oh, nothing, I..

I just thought, perhaps..

...we could go out someplace
together, just you and I.

Out to dinner
and this theater.

Or even just stay at home.

Would you like it?

Yes, I would like that
very much.

We'll do that
some evening soon.

Pardon me, madam,
you're wanted on the telephone.

- Oh, am I, Hopkins? Thank you.
- Here.

Uh, I'll take it
someplace else, John.

Nonsense,
this is an outside--

Oh, but I-I don't want
to disturb you.

Oh, take it, take it, take it.

John, what if I should tell you
that this was

a handsome young man
wanting to talk to me?

I'm afraid I've known
you too long, Jenny.

Hello.

Can I speak naturally,
or is that imposing husband

of yours around?

Yes.

"Yes, I can" or
"Yes, he is?" Which?

Yes, I understand.

Well, I ought to embarrass you
by telling you

how much I love you.

But I won't.

Jenny, are you coming?

Yes. Uh, yes, yes,
I-I'll be over right away.

Goodbye.

Those committees of yours are
keeping you busy, aren't they?

- Yes.
- Well, I'm glad of it.

Tell you what we'll do, Jenny.

We'll get out together,
some night next week.

Try to go to the opera.

- That'll be nice, won't it?
- Yes, that'll be..

Dennison,
are you coming down here?

He's on his way down now, sir.

Yeah.

Have you..

Have a good time
at the tea party.

Thanks.

- Mrs. Rarick.
- Good afternoon, Mr. Dennison.

- Oh, hello, mother.
- Hello, Avery, darling.

- How's everything today?
- Oh, fine.

I've cornered the market
on safety pins.

Tomorrow, I expect to round up
all the hooks and eyes.

Avery.

You still hate this old business
as much as ever, don't you?

Oh, no, I love it.
It's that fascinating.

Why, the sales of the New York
stores alone

jumped $75,382 and 10 cents
last week..

...and are we happy.

You haven't tried to talk
to him lately, have you?

Not since he offered
to transfer me

to advertising department, no.

This might be a good chance.

- He's in there now.
- Is he?

Well, maybe
I can see him in his own home.

I never can at the office.

So long, darling.

- Good luck, sweets.
- Thanks.

Hey, I forgot to tell you.
You look grand.

Thanks, darling.

- Bye
- Goodbye.

At the present time
the Rarick stores number 1500.

Two hundred stores more
than the Grayson..

Oh, hello, Avery.

- How are you?
- I'm so glad you're home.

I was afraid
you wouldn't get here in time.

Time for what?

Listen, something
important's happened.

Yeah, what?

You've heard of Muriel Preston,
haven't you?

The big society girl.

Oh, the Cassidy girl.
Yeah, sure.

Well, she's invited me to take
over a booth

at her charity bazaar.

No.

How much do you have to pay her

for that great honor?

Kind of fresh, aren't you?

- You're going with me.
- I am not, baby, not--

Yes, you are, Avery.

Doesn't it mean anything at all
to you that mother's been

snubbed right and left ever
since she came to New York?

Now that she's come
to her senses

and given up trying,
you're starting it.

But she's unhappy, Avery.

Somebody's gotta do
something about it.

She hasn't any interests here

and all her friends
are in Kansas City..

Why don't you stay at home
once in a while

and keep her company
instead of running around

at charity bazaars?

Oh, go on upstairs
and get dressed.

- Listen, I gotta see dad--
- No, you don't.

I've gotta do some
gold-digging first.

Got to get
my entrance fee first.

- I thought..
- Don't think, boy.

It doesn't rest so well
on your brow.

And an additional 300
established throughout the south

it seems more than likely..

- May I come in, daddy?
- No!

Sit down, Dennison.
I'm very busy, Jennifer.

But it won't
take you long, daddy.

- For what?
- To make out the check.

Oh, so that's it, huh?

Look here, young lady

you have an allowance
now sufficient

to keep an ordinary family
in luxury.

You'll have to make it do.

But I'll put
your name down, daddy.

- For what?
- Five thousand dollars.

- Five thousand dollars?
- It's for the Junior Benefit.

I'm to have a booth
and sell dolls. For charity.

- Where is the money going to?
- I don't know.

But it's only $5000.

Five thousand dollars
and you don't know

what the money is going to.

- Well, you can't have it.
- Alright.

I'll tell them you're not
interested in charity.

I am interested in charity.

I give more to charity
than any man in this town.

But, daddy,
I've got to tell them something.

Well...well..

Alright.

Alright, I'll let you
have it this time.

But this is the last..

Look here, young lady,
after this, I will take care

of the dispensation of
the charity in this household.

Just bear that in mind,
will you?

- Alright, daddy, I will.
- Alright, go now..

Thanks, you always say no
when you mean yes.

Now, now, now..
I'm very busy..

You got what you came after,
didn't you?

Darling!
I only want to thank you.

- Oh, you're the sweetest.
- Just get out.

- Alright.
- Get out.

What did you let me
sign that check for?

A box of chocolate is all
I need. Wait a minute.

How about exchanging this
for some of that fudge?

- Hey, Muriel!
- Yes?

Your fiance
is propositioning me.

Think nothing of it, my dear.
He's only flattering himself.

Hey, mister,
how about some kisses?

- Well, not a bad idea.
- It'll cost you $50.

That's a lot of money,
isn't it? However..

Fifty dollars.

- Hey, what's all this?
- That's a box of kisses.

And you looked like
such a nice girl.

Oh, mister.

- Say, who are you anyway?
- Don't you know who I am?

I'm that Rarick girl.

Rarick? Ra..

Oh, you mean nothing
in this store over ten cents?

That's me.

- I know who you are.
- I'll bite. Who?

No Sunday section
is complete without you.

You're just a bad boy
of the 400, Mr. Berry Rhodes.

No, no, no,
I'm not bad, really.

I'm just misunderstood.

Oh, you're
one of those fellows.

One? I'm the original.

Hey, Berry Rhodes

you're wanted.

- Business is getting low.
- What shall I do?

Pay my bootlegger
or buy whatnot?

Why, buy whatnot, of course.

Says she with all them
Rarick millions.

You don't know
what genteel poverty is.

Well, see you later then.

- Later? Party?
- Hm-hmm, at the party.

Yes, Muriel's throwing
a party afterwards

for all you working girls.

- Oh, is she? How nice.
- Yeah.

We'll talk about me then.

Okay, Misunderstood Man.

See you later, Rarick Girl.

So, Jen, how much longer

are we gonna have
to hang around, huh?

We're going to a party
afterwards.

You are, not me.

Avery.

Do you see that
good-looking man over there?

Do you mean that Berry somebody
that likes himself so well?

You'd better be nice to him.
He's your future brother-in-law.

Listen, he's engaged
to that Preston girl.

What about it?

The Grayson chain belonged
to the Graysons, didn't it?

The father owns it now.

Gosh, you sound just like dad.

I'm just my father's daughter,
that's all.

I guess I'll beat it.
You don't need me.

- Goodnight, my dear.
- Goodnight, Mrs. Chandler.

Goodnight. Thank you so much.

- How much have you there, Liz?
- Oh, I don't know.

Either $175 or $282.

You're a great help.
Count it up again.

Say, how much did
Miss Five-and-Ten donate?

- Five thousand.
- Five thousand.

Well, you'll have to invite her
to your party.

Will I?

Come on, girls, cash in.
Come on.

You too, Ms. Rarick.
Will you hurry, please?

Oh, gee! I don't know
how much I've got.

Oh, let's take it all home
and count it up tomorrow.

Oh, that's a good idea.

We'll take
and we'll count it up tomorrow.

Come on, Berry!
Berry, darling.

Get your hat and coat.
We're going now.

Alright, I'll be with you.

- Ms. Preston.
- Yes? My, I've got $1200.

- Isn't that marvelous?
- That's divine, my dear.

Simply divine.
You've done beautifully.

Thank you so much.
Goodnight.

Oh gang, come on,
come on, everybody.

So long, Rarick Girl.

Wait here, Francois.
I'll be right back.

Oh! Taxi! Taxi!

- Yes, ma'am?
- Hey, taxi?

Do you see that green roadster
over there?

Yes, ma'am.

Well, I want you
to run into him.

No! I don't wanna go to jail.

You won't go to jail.
It'll be an accident.

- Accident?
- Yes!

There he is, there he is.

I see.

Hold on tight. I got the van.

- Accident!
- What do you mean accident?

Accident!

Accident, eh?
Well, here's another accident.

You want the whole street
to get behind you?

- Oh, hello, Misunderstood Man.
- Well, as I take a breath..

Hey, what are you doing
in a gentleman's bedroom?

Looking at
your picture gallery.

Are all of these
your sweethearts?

Every one of them.

"To Berry darling,
with my bestest."

Say..

...how long do you
have to know a girl

before she gives you
her picture?

Well, if she likes me,
I get it right away.

If not, it may take
a day or two longer.

Oh, I see.

- When do I get yours?
- Right away.

There we are.

Here's my picture.
How do you like it?

Is that you?

Well, don't you think
it looks like me?

I think it's good.

Yes, I think it's good.

- Yeah, this cow has no ears.
- My cows never have ears.

Well, put some ears in, girl.

To Berry darling..

...with my bestest.

- There you are.
- Thanks.

I shall, um..

I shall cherish this.

- Very kind of you, sir.
- Don't mention it.

Well, cheerio!

Here we go.

Good cocktail.

So glad you like it.

Now that you've got my picture

why don't you give me
one of yours?

Yes, good idea. I will.
I'll draw you one.

Oh, fine. Well, don't tell me
you draw too.

Oh, do I draw?

I never thought..

- This is my workshop.
- Oh, how amazing!

I made this up
out of my own hands.

You are the clever one.

And now..

...for the drawing, eh?

Thank you.

Ooh, the boy's half genius.

Why don't his people
do something about it?

They never really
understood him.

He was a sensitive lad
inclined to brooding.

Yes, I've seen him brooding.

In some of our very best places.

Yeah.

Well, there we are.

To that Rarick Girl..

...with my better and bestest.

There, put that in your locket.

Say, it does look like
you at that, doesn't it?

You think so?

Hey, this pig has no snoot.

Oh, none of my pigs
have snoots.

Anyone can draw a pig
with a snoot.

Hey, what's this?

Oh, that? That's a little thing
I've been fooling around with.

An idea for a lodge.

You did this?

Oh, it's wonderful. I didn't
know you were an artist.

My good woman, you know nothing.

I'm once laughingly known
as an architect.

You mean you draw pictures
and, uh, buildings spring up?

Well, I-I draw the pictures

but the buildings
don't always spring.

I think it's marvelous.

Why don't you go in for it?

Are you one of those women
who fire men with ambition?

Of course I am.

Then you and I
are quits right now.

- Yes?
- Oh, yes.

It's much too much
fun in life

to take these things seriously.

Besides, one must have time
for polo and, uh..

- Women?
- Women, yes.

Women take a little time too.

By the way, Rarick..

...how would you like
to share a small part

of my working hours?

Not interested
in part-time boys.

Ah, dear, dear,
I was afraid of that.

I've got to have all
or nothing.

Well, I wish I could
accommodate you

but, uh, there's a reason.

That's probably the reason now.

Berry, don't answer it.

Just what does that mean?

What would you like it to mean?

I'd better answer it.

Alright.

The spirit is willing,
but...the flesh is weak.

See what you've done now?

What kind of a woman are you

to make a man
forget his fiancee?

What kind of a man
are you to make a woman

forget a man's fiancee?

Here, let's get out of this

before she gets suspicious
and comes around.

- But where will we go?
- I know the very place.

It's right around the corner

it won't take us a moment
to get there.

The most marvelous
music and wine

that's guaranteed to make you..

- Yes?
- Well, to make you.

Have you arranged
to crash into me everyday

about this hour, Ms. Rarick?

Hello, that's quick.

- Oh, Berry!
- Muriel!

- Hello!
- Well, what a coincidence.

- You two know each other?
- Yes.

- How do you do, Ms. Rarick?
- How do you do?

I, uh, I haven't seen you
since the night of the benefit.

Oh, I've been to lots
of benefits since then.

- Oh, really?
- Yes.

Yes, I, uh..

Ms. Rarick and I
sort of, uh, crashed downstairs.

She was all shaken up.
I brought her up for cocktail.

Uh, I was just about
to take her down to her car.

Were you? I-I presume that's why
you didn't answer the telephone.

I rang you from downstairs.

Oh, we must have been standing
here waiting for the elevator.

- The service here is terrible.
- Mm-hmm.

- Yes, so I see.
- Yes.

Well, I guess
I'll be running along.

- Well, I-I'll come with you.
- Oh, don't bother.

Thanks for the cocktail.

- Not at all.
- Goodbye, Ms. Rarick.

I'll see you, uh,
at the next benefit.

If not before.

- Goodbye.
- Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Come on, Muriel, let's go in.

What a strange coincidence

that you should
crash into Ms. Rarick.

Isn't it odd?

She's quite beautiful,
isn't she?

Oh, I don't know.
Sort of cute.

A little too, uh,
you know, to, to interest me.

Yes, I noticed
how bored you were.

- You're not jealous, are you?
- Hardly.

Not of Jennifer Rarick.

You're a good scout, Muriel.

You know that?

No, I'm not.

I just know my Berry,
that's all.

Well, if you know
your Berry..

Well, gentlemen,
it comes down to this.

If I can't have
their entire output

I'll buy the factory.

I brought that up
at the meeting

but they don't want to sell.

I made them a fair offer,
and if..

- Pardon me, sir.
- What is it, Dennison?

Gentlemen.

- Where is she?
- In the outer office, sir.

Excuse me, gentlemen.

Jennifer!

Father, I've got
something to tell you.

- What's happened?
- Something marvelous.

- I've--
- Marvelous?

You said it was
a case of life or death.

But it is to me.

I found the architect
for the new Tower Building.

Oh, so you found the architect
for the new Tower Building.

Good! So have I.

But, father, he's the very man
you're looking for.

Oh, now,
don't talk nonsense, Jennifer.

You know very well
that Mitchell and Cross

are going to do
the Tower Building.

Well, you didn't give them
the contract yet, did you?

No, but I promised it
to them.

You can't. You've got to
give it to this friend of mine.

- He's a wonderful architect.
- Who is he?

Well, you wouldn't know him,
but..

Well, then he can't be
so very wonderful.

But he is.

I've seen his work
and it's marvelous.

He's taken prizes
and everything.

Look, there's a lodge he drew.

The lodge he drew?

"To that Rarick Girl,
with my better and bestest."

That's the wrong side.

There it is.

Isn't it great?

Hm...not bad.
They're not half bad.

I can't say that I like that.

But, father, you've got to
give him a chance.

Jennifer, the Tower Building
is going to be--

The highest building
in the world, I know.

I can't entrust this commission
to a struggling architect.

But he isn't
a struggling architect.

Besides, Mitchell and Cross
could work through him.

- Oh, they could, could they?
- Certainly.

It's been done lots of times.

Now, what is the estimate
on the Tower Building?

About 15 million dollars.

The commission is 10%, isn't it?

Yeah, why?

One million,
five hundred thousand.

One fourth of that
would be three..

Why, it's only $375,000,
isn't it? Yes.

Now, any firm of architects
would be glad to accept

the commission
for 3/4th of the whole amount.

The honor connected with it,
they'd even do it for less.

- Yes, but--
- They'd supervise the work--

Wait a minute, wait a minute.

Wait a minute.
What's in back of all this?

What's this man to you?

He isn't anything yet.

Doesn't even know I'm on Earth.

And he won't
unless you do this for me.

You're talking ridiculous.

In the first place..

...a worthwhile young man
wouldn't accept

a thing like this
from a young lady.

No, absolutely no.

And in the future, young lady

you confine your activities

to the junior league
and things that concern you.

And stop building
buildings for me.

Alright, daddy.

I'm sorry I bothered you.

Well, Jennifer,
you, you don't realize

what the Tower Building
means to me.

Yes, I do.
And it's alright.

Well, forget about it.

Goodbye, daddy.

Bye-bye.

Find out who that fellow is
right away.

Now then, gentlemen..

Teacher.

How about a little recess, eh?

No! Ten minutes more.

Oh, come on.
You're a regular slave driver.

Well, if I weren't here
to crack the whip

you'd be out
playing polo or something.

You've worked me like a dog
all winter.

It's spring, woman.
Don't you realize that?

Look at those flowers blooming,
the sun shining

the birds twittering
in the, the skyscrapers.

Haven't you got any sap
in your veins at all?

No. Just that cold
Rarick willpower.

Why did you ever
come into my life?

I was a happy fellow once.
Not a care in the world.

And then you had to
come along and tempt me

with your nasty money.

Mm.

But think of all the bills
that you can pay

with that big commission.

Hm, you know
I hate paying those bills?

They've been around me so long

they, they feel
like my children.

Then think of all the fun
you can have spending it.

Well, if I don't go to work,
it won't go to me.

Oh, come on.
A little inspiration, eh?

I haven't had any
since 2 o'clock.

I thought that last dose
I gave you

was enough to last you
for a while.

No, no, no, I'm just the same
old Berry Rhodes again.

A scoundrel among men,
and a rotter with women.

Well, I guess I'll have to work
on you again. Come on.

Come on, get over there.

Alright, let's go.

You know, Berry Rhodes

you could be one of
the world's greatest architects

if you really tried.

What talent, what sweep,
what fire.

Save that, will you?
I want to be myself for a bit.

Couldn't you make use
of an excellent rotter?

Why, I've been looking all over
for an excellent rotter.

Don't, don't encourage me, girl.

It's hard enough now
to stick to these things.

My self-control positively
amazes me.

It amazes me too, Berry.

Look here..

Do you want to get out of here
a respectable woman?

I'm at the breaking point now.

Look at my hand,
look at it.

Oh, but it's such
a nice hand.

Rarick Girl..

...you're about to be kissed.

Oh, I'm shaking.

Here.

Yeah, what is this anyway?
What is this?

This is a nice kind
of inspiration

for a, for a poor working man.

Now you've got me all upset.
Look at me.

Then why don't you marry me
instead of Muriel?

What are your qualifications,
young woman?

Well, in the first place,
I've got brains.

Sorry, can't use a brainy
woman today. Maybe next week.

I'm much better-looking.

That's a dirty crack.

Still, maybe something in it.

Nose a little long, perhaps

but, uh, who minds
a little extra nose?

Well?

Well, any other selling points?

Yes. I'll let you talk
about yourself most of the time.

- You will?
- Mm-hm.

Sold!
We're as good as married.

Good. When do we draw up
the contract?

Well...as soon as I'm married
to Muriel

and then divorced,
I'll look you up

and if that offer
still holds good

you and I can do business.

Are you sure
I couldn't persuade you

to cancel that contract?

Well, you see, Ms. Rarick

I've no doubt the article
you're offering

is a very excellent one
and all that, but, uh..

...my association
with this other firm

is a very old one and, uh--

No, I understand, Mr. Rhodes.

And in that case,
I withdraw my proposal.

However, I see no reason why
you and I couldn't do business

in a small way

without the other firm's
knowledge, of course.

I appreciate that, Mr. Rhodes.

But our firm
is strictly upright..

...and we could not take
advantage of your proposal.

I was afraid of that.

Well, no hard feelings,
Mr. Gallagher.

Absolutely...Mr. Shean.

Gosh, Jennifer..

...you know, sometimes I..

Sometimes you what?

Oh, nothing.

Come on,
give me more inspiration.

I've got to finish
this elevation.

One of my women, no doubt.

Hello?

- Uh, who's that?
- 'It's Leslie. How are you?'

Oh, Leslie, hello, how are you?

Fine, thanks.
What are you doing?

Well, I'm, uh..

I'm up to my neck
in homework at the moment.

Well, it depends on the boss.

Yeah, we're, we're just about
to finish with these pretties

and she won't give me
any rest.

Alright, I will.
Here she is. I'll ask her.

No, no, no. I mean,
I'll ask her if I can come.

Yeah. She, she's
a regular Simon Legree.

Just a moment.

Teacher, can I go to Leslie's
for the weekend?

Well, you've been
a pretty good boy.

I guess I'll have to let you go.

Alright, teacher says alright.

- Yes, I'll be there.
- 'Okay.'

- Goodbye.
- 'Bye-bye.'

Well, I'll be
out of your clutches

for this weekend anyway.

Don't be too sure.
I might surprise you.

What's all this mean?
You're not leaving, are you?

Yes. I've got some big business
to attend to.

Huh? Well, here, here, here..

Well, see you Monday, eh?

If not before.

What does that mean?

Oh, nothing.

Have a good time, Berry.

- Hello.
- How do you do, Ms. Rarick?

Ms. Leslie asked me
to tell you to come

right over to the swimming pool
as soon as you arrived.

Hello, Rarick!

So glad to see you.

I can't shake hands with you,
I'm all dripping.

Say, you all know
Jennifer Rarick, don't you?

She's the new patroness
of our Home For Wayward Girls.

Oh, really..

Come on, Berry,
let's go for a swim.

Could I get a room there,
do you think?

Oh, Berry!

Now, wait till I get dry, Rarick

and I'll show you to your table.

- Thanks.
- Home For Wayward Girls, eh?

Better watch out for me
this weekend, my good girl.

Berry always gets his woman.

Okay, Rarick, come on!

Maybe Jennifer
always gets her man.

Who is it?

Berry!

So you would hold out on me,
would you?

Get out of here.
Can't you see I'm not dressed?

That's alright.
I don't mind.

Not bad either, if I do say so.

Have you gone mad?

Something's come over me.

Maybe that's it.

Berry!

That's how I like to see you.

All shaking.

Instead of that devilish look
you usually have.

I'm not shaking!

Says she, her knees knocking.

They're not knocking.

They're adorable knees,
Jennifer.

Suppose somebody came in here.

Not a chance.

They're all dressing.
They'll be busy for hours.

Berry, please go.

Alright.

I'll go.

I'll go..

...whenever you say.

Want me to go now?

Yes.

Liar.

I...I don't want you
to go, but..

...but I, I ask you to.

Now look here.

You know I'm not
a man of honor.

Don't look at me like that.

It won't do you any good.

What are you saying?

Well...I must be a hero.

Give me a little help,
will you?

Take some of these arms
away from me.

For heaven's sake
put some clothes on.

I won't look.

Well...this is
a nice state of affairs.

First of all you make me
into a laborer

and then you turn me
into a gentleman.

If this gets out,
my reputation's ruined.

How long is this
going on a-anyway?

Thanks, Berry.

Now I know you love me.

You're talking
out of turn, young lady.

I only thought so before,
but now I know it.

I'm terribly glad.

Do you want to be spanked?

Look at me, Berry.

I'll do no such thing.

Deny it if you can.

I'm going to get out of here
before I'm attacked.

Berry.

You little devil.

You made me fall in love
with you.

You're not sorry, are you?

I'm an engaged man,
do you realize that?

But I couldn't help
falling in love with you, Berry.

Nor could I..

...with you.

This is awful!
This is terrible!

This means I'll have to break
my engagement to Muriel.

Does she really care for you?

Yes, of course.

At least I think so.
Why do you ask?

Well, you've been engaged
so long, that's all.

I'm afraid that was my fault.

I'm glad.

It means you couldn't have
cared so much.

Oh, you know,
it was one of those things.

We sort of grew up together,
families and all that.

I don't want to hurt her.

You wouldn't want me to do that,
would you, Jennifer?

Well, it simply means that you

you won't be able to
say anything about us

until I tell you.

I won't.

You promise?

I promise.

And I'll wait for you
as long as you want me to.

You're a swell kid, Jennifer.

You're not so dusty yourself,
Mr. Rhodes.

I'm afraid you'll have to
keep your distance

the rest of this party.

Or I might forget myself.

Sneak down in the garden
after dinner.

No, no, no.
I'll have no sneaking.

From now on we meet
only in public spaces.

Until I'm a free man.

Well..

...one more sneak.

Goodbye, Mrs. Rhodes.

No, you don't.

Save that for the garden.

Hello.

- Oh, hello.
- Looking for someone?

No, I just came out
for some fresh air.

So did I.

- Won't you sit down?
- No, thanks, I..

Don't worry, I know
you're expecting Berry.

- I guess I'd better be going.
- Just a minute.

You don't seem to realize
that Berry's engaged to me

Ms. Rarick.

- Is he?
- Yes.

And an owl said
it isn't very sporting

to play around with a man
who belongs to someone else.

Of course you wouldn't be
expected to know that.

You don't like to hear
the truth, do you?

Just because you bought
your way into a weekend

doesn't mean
that you belong.

Berry may step outside
of his own class to play around

but that's all it means.

- Is that all you've got to say?
- No.

You're out to display
your millions

among the nouveaux riche

where they'll make
an impression.

I'm not trying
to make an impression.

Your little scheme
is pretty obvious

to everybody,
even to Berry.

But your million dollar
commission

has failed
to impress him.

He didn't bring you here,
did he?

That's what
he thinks of you.

You'll never buy
Berry Rhodes.

Well, I've done
very well so far.

You don't think he's taking you
seriously, I hope.

Just seriously enough
to ask me to marry him.

What do you
mean by that?

Oh, I'm sorry.
I didn't mean anything.

I'm sorry I said it.
It's not true.

I think you did mean it.

I'm sure Berry will be
glad to know he's been bought.

- Oh, I didn't say I bought him.
- I heard what you said.

Berry.

Berry, I want to talk to you.

- Oh, hello, Muriel.
- Get a chair.

It's quite important.
Sit down.

- Berry.
- Jennifer.

- Berry!
- Come here.

I want to talk to you.

Listen, Jennifer..

- You didn't tell her, did you?
- No!

Of course you didn't.
I knew you didn't, darling.

Well, I didn't
exactly tell her.

I..

Well, did you tell her
or didn't you tell her?

No, I didn't.

Well, what I said was..

Well..

So you did, eh?

You not only told her,
but you told her you bought me.

Oh, I didn't say that.

I said, I mean,
what I meant to say was that..

That.. Oh..

Berry. Berry.

You believe me, don't you?

Believe you? I believed
your promise this evening.

I believed
everything you told me.

I believed I was the one man
for the Tower Building.

But I didn't believe
you wanted to marry me

just to crash the gate.

Berry..

Everyone in the world
knew the truth but me.

Berry, please
try to understand.

Oh, I understand
only too well.

I'm sorry, Jennifer.

But you and I don't seem
to speak the same language.

Oh, Berry,
you don't mean that.

Yes, I do.

You're just a cheap
rich girl.

Oh, Mary.

- Did you call, ma'am?
- 'Yes, just a moment, please.'

Well, Mary..

Uh, will you have Hopkins

give this to the chauffeur
that's waiting, please?

Yes, ma'am.

- Good evening, Mr. Avery.
- Good evening, Hopkins.

- That's the answer.
- Thank you.

- Hello, Avery.
- Hello.

I'm glad you came in. Avery,
I want to have a talk with you.

I want to have
a talk with you too, dad.

Not about
the same old subject, I hope.

No, not about that.

That's good.

I thought you'd like
the business better

after you'd stuck
with it awhile.

You have no idea, son

what it means to me
to...have you by my side.

Yes, dad.

I've got a great future

planned out for you, Avery.

In a few years,
when you're on the board

accustomed to speaking in
millions instead of thousands--

I didn't want to talk about
myself, dad, if you don't mind.

Alright, there's plenty
of time for that.

What do you want to talk..

What's on your mind, Avery?

Well..

I want to talk..
I want to talk to you about us.

- Huh?
- The family, I mean.

What's the matter
with the family?

- We.. We've changed, dad.
- For the better, I hope.

We-we're not
a family anymore, dad.

We're not happy anymore
like we used to be, you know.

Happy?

Why, my family's happier

than they've ever been
in their lives.

You settled down.

Your mother and sister

both found
new absorbing interests.

I know they've found
new interests, dad, but..

Oh, gee, I-I'm not so sure
they're the right kind.

Young man, don't you think
you're presuming a little

to criticize your mother
and your sister?

Oh, I'm not criticizing them,
dad, but..

But, dad, New York's
not like Kansas City.

They've had to make
new friends.

Well, that's not so hard
for Jennifer, she's young

but mother..

Mother's bound
to attract people

who are only interested
in her money.

Your mother knows
what she's doing, I guess.

Dad..

In all these years
that I've known your mother

she's never shown
bad taste in anything.

Oh, I don't mean that, dad.

But she's lonely, dad.
I know she is.

If your mother was lonely

I'd be the first one
to know about it.

You're busy
all the time, dad.

You don't realize
how little you see of her.

How little we all
see of each other.

In Kansas City,
oh, I don't know

we-we all did things
together and..

Now the family's
all shocked, dad

and it's your money
that's doing it too.

What's that?

Why do we have to go piling up

more and more, more?

Let's stop now
and enjoy it, huh?

If we could all
only get away. If..

If-if we could all only go
to Europe or someplace--

Oh, you're hysterical, Avery.

Though there's something
in what you say.

Not a bad idea,
that trip to Europe.

Yeah, we'll do that.
Next fall.

After the Tower Building's
finished.

Dad, let's go now.

Oh, now, you know very well
I can't do that.

I'm right in the middle
of negotiation for that

chain of stores in the Pacific
Northwest, you know that.

I know that, dad, but..

That chain will
complete a circle

that envelops
the entire United States.

When that's done
and they're operating

it ought to make
the Rarick stores

the leading mercantile
enterprise of the world.

Do you realize
what that means?

Yes. I realize
what it means.

Then I can relax.

Yes, sir, I might establish
a chain over there

that's the finest
in the world.

I beg your pardon, Mr. Avery,
I thought your father was here.

What? Oh, he went
to his rooms, I think.

- Thank you, sir.
- Hey, wait a minute, Hopkins.

- What have you got there?
- Your father's brandy, sir.

He always takes
a little before retiring.

Well, I think I'll take
a little before retiring.

- Yes, sir.
- Please. Um-hmm.

As I'm a big
businessman too.

Oh, yes, indeed.

Yes, from now on I think
in millions, not in thousands.

Here, have a little drink
to my success, hm?

Uh, no, sir.
I'd sooner not.

I don't think
your father would approve.

Oh, it's alright,
Hopkins.

Why, some day one of
the world's largest fortunes

is going to pass
into my hands, and I want you

to have a little drink with me.

Well, sir, just a nip.

How much is a nip, Hopkins?

Well, that all depends where
you learned your drinking, sir.

Where did you learn
your drinking?

On a cattle boat, sir.

A cattle boat.

Oh, gee..

Oh, here.

- Well, sir. Chin-chin.
- Chin-chin, Hopkins.

Hopkins, did you know that
my father is a simple man?

- No, sir.
- Well, it says so.

Right here in his biography.

Here, look. Oh, no, wait
a minute, I'll find it for you.

"A-a-a simple man
with simple tastes."

Simple family.
It's all really very simple.

- Did you read about us?
- No, sir.

Oh, you should.
Pour yourself another drink.

Yeah. "Hard-working son."

That's me. Yeah.
I started at the bottom.

Bottoms up.

My sweet unspoiled sister,
interested in charity

and our loyal, devoted mother.

Loyal, devoted..

I think your father
will be waiting

for his brandy, sir.

Wait, Hopkins, wait.

- Yeah, I'll take care of it.
- I think you'd better not--

- No, no, I'll take it, Hopkins.
- But I--

Just a second now,
it's alright.

And after this, Hopkins

after this you bring me
brandy every night.

Yes, sir.

Yeah, because I'm the suc..

...successor to the Rarick
millions.

Yes, sir.

Uh, bear that in mind,
will you?

Yes, sir.

Oh bury me not

On the lone prairie

Where wild coyotes..

Oh, Wilson, sir.

Uh, Wilson, yes, thank you.

I hope you realize, Wilson,
that you're working

for the third
biggest merchant in the world?

- Oh, yes, sir!
- That's good.

I just wanted
to check up on it.

Where the rattlesnakes hiss

And the winds blow free

- Oh, Duncan.
- Yes, sir.

Duncan, did you know, Duncan

did you know that my father
is a self-made man, did you?

Yes, sir.

As the cowboys gathered..

And, uh, furthermore, Dunc

when he was my age,
he worked 14 hours a day.

Yes, sir.

From the pallid lips

Loo dee-dee-die

If I get good rye whiskey

I'll live till I don't

Ooh dee tiddle doo dee

Vroom vroom vroom hmm

Oh.

Why, if it isn't the social
connection of the Rarick family.

Come here and have
a little nip.

- Avery.
- Yeah.

Here, have one.

It's good for what ails you.

- Is it?
- Sure, makes you forget.

Would it make me forget
my cheapness, I wonder?

Make you forget everything.

- Who's cheap?
- I am.

Say, there's nothing cheap
about the Raricks.

Why..

Dad's the third merchant
in the wor..

Didn't you know that?

Yes, I know that, alright.

So does everybody else.

I saw to that.

Ha. What you need
is a little drink.

Money, money, money.

It's all that matters.
There's no use..

Avery, please don't
say that, please.

It's a wonderful thing
to have, my boy.

It's a wonderful thing.

Yeah, um, it is
the greatest source..

...of beauty,
than you realize.

Oh, Avery, I made
such a mess of things.

Oh, wait till we get the chain

in the Pacific Northwest, baby.

Everything will be okay then.

- Avery.
- Oh, give me that drink.

Avery, please help me.

I'm, I'm so miserable.

Oh, sure I'll help you.

Always have, haven't I?

Yeah, didn't I use to slip you

the answers behind
old scrooge's back?

Didn't I? Huh?

Didn't I use to fib to mother
when you asked me to?

Didn't I use to pick you up
when you fell down?

You'll have
to pick me up now, Avery.

I've fallen down...again.

Oh, poor little Jennifer.

And Jen fell down
and broke her crown.

And I came..

I came..

Tumbling...

...after.

I, Bertram, take thee, Muriel..

"I, Bertram,
take thee, Muriel.."

- To my wedded wife.
- "To my wedded wife."

And thereto
I plight thee my troth.

"And thereto
I plight thee my troth."

I, Muriel, take thee, Bertram..

"I, Muriel,
take thee, Bertram.."

- To my wedded husband.
- "To my wedded husband."

And thereto
I give thee my troth.

And thereto
I give thee my troth.

With this ring I thee wed.

"With this ring I thee wed."

I pronounce that
they are man and wife.

In the name of the Father

and of the Son,
and of the Holy Ghost.

Amen.

Hey, I say throw the bouquet.

Thanks.

Jennifer.

Oh, hello, Benedict.

Sorry, I haven't any old shoes,
but bon voyage.

- Jennifer, why did you come?
- Why not?

I was invited.

Yes, I know, but..

Was it cheap of me to come?

I'm sorry, Jennifer.

Can't we part as
friends at least?

Why, certainly.

We'll meet out at Fifth Avenue

and say how are you
and everything.

I'll been looking forward to it.

Well?

Well..

Well, goodbye..

...Misunderstood Man.

Yes, it's, it is goodbye..

...isn't it?

Yes.

Look, Jennifer, please.

Please, no, no,
you mustn't cry, please.

Come on, Berry,
let's get going. Come on!

Again, and in conclusion..

...I want to publicly
thank Mister...Mitchell

of the firm
of Mitchell and Cross

for their splendid architecture.

Also their associate,
Mr. Bertram Rhodes.

Who unfortunately
could not be with us today.

I thank you.

Avery..

- I'm going home.
- Do you want me to go with you?

Don't bother.

But will you please tell mother
that I've left?

- Yes, sure.
- Thanks, I'll see you later.

Jennifer.

Hello, Berry.

You're a little late
for the dedication, aren't you?

Yes.

Yes, I sort of lost my nerve.

I've just been wandering around.

Seeing if they used
any of my stuff.

Remember that?

Yes, I remember it.

Oh. How are you?

I'm fine, thanks.
How are you?

I'm fine too.

How is Muriel?

- She's, uh, fine.
- That's fine.

Well, I'm awfully glad
to have seen you.

- Yes, but..
- I was just leaving.

Oh, couldn't we..

Couldn't we talk a bit without
stirring up another scandal?

- Could we?
- Well, couldn't we?

I'm not so sure of that after..

After..

Yes, I think..

I think we could talk better
over there, don't you?

Well, this is
very pleasant, isn't it?

Yes, isn't it?

So nice and private-like.

Yes, it is.

Jennifer.

Jennifer.

Oh, I might escort you
around the building.

Show you the points of interest.

For instance,
that elevator will take you

to the highest roof
in the world.

From where on a clear day
you can see..

You can see..

From the Battery to the Bronx.

Okay, teacher.

Oh, look!

From here you can see
the entire Long Island Sound.

Marvelous.

Look down there.

Wonderful. Isn't it?

Perfectly marvelous.

Oh, that makes me dizzy.

Your troubles are supposed
to grow smaller

when you're high up like this,
aren't they?

That's what they say.

Are yours getting any smaller?

Not much.

It's been years, Jennifer.

No, it hasn't.

It's only been ten months,
three weeks, and five days.

Well, I think
we'd better be going.

I was about to say
something I shouldn't.

Alright.

Jennifer..

...will we..

Shall I see you?

What's the use, Berry?

- Yes, but if..
- Don't, Berry.

When there are no more ifs

we'll talk about it.

But that..

That might never be.

I know.

That might never be.

Well..

...don't we shake hands
or something?

Berry, we must go.

They don't seem to answer.

Must be asleep.

- That'll wake them up.
- Yes.

Hello?

Hello.

- They're all gone.
- 'Gone?'

There's somebody here,
isn't there?

Well, there must be.

If there isn't,
we're in a pickle.

No, we're not.

There's a door.

How stupid of me
not to think of it.

Why, it's locked.

Here, let me try it.

So it is.

Quite a city, is it not?

Yes.

The lights are very pretty,
aren't they?

Yes, indeed.
The lights are very pretty.

Has it ever occurred to you
that the buffalo

is practically extinct
on Manhattan Island?

And the common titmouse,
if allowed to multiply

could in no time obliterate
the entire Earth.

How true.

How..

Do you mind?

That's better.

Now I can concentrate
on my geography.

No, that's even worse.
You're even prettier that way.

- Cold?
- Yes. No!

- Yes, you are. You're freezing.
- No, I'm not.

- You are freezing.
- I'm alright. Really.

- You're gonna have my coat.
- Oh, not freezing cold.

Come on.
Put that on now!

I won't be cold.

Now, the common red brick

when wrapped up
in a gentleman's coat

makes an excellent pillow.

Here we are.

Try that, will you?

Well, what will you use, Berry?

Me? Oh, I don't know,
I'll just, eh..

I know, I'll roll up
in some of that iron sheeting

over there.

Besides, I'm not supposed
to sleep in a case like this.

- No?
- Oh, dear me, no.

No, no.

No! The gentleman
on these occasions

always sits by the bedside

to keep those coyotes away.

Are you sure
you don't want your coat?

No, no, no.

I'll wait till you're asleep,
then I'll sneak it away.

Well, I guess
I'll go to sleep now.

Goodnight.

Do you realize
you're the first woman

who ever made me sit up
all night on a cold stone roof?

Goodnight.

I bet you do
some fancy snoring.

I've never
had any complaints.

I like my snoring obbligato.

I'll do my best.

Goodnight.

Goodnight.

- Good morning, Albert.
- Good morning, sir.

- Nearly packed.
- Just a few things left, sir.

Well, in a few hours more
we'll be on the high seas.

Yes, sir.

Wait a minute.

- Hello?
- I'm so glad to get you. I..

- I was afraid you'd left.
- Better hurry, dear.

- There isn't much time.
- I can't leave them.

If you choose to give up
a lifetime of happiness

for a husband you never see..

...and for two children
who no longer need you, well..

...you can't expect me
to stand by any longer, can you?

Oh, but, Ramon,
you don't understand, it's..

I understand perfectly, my dear.

We've been over it all
a thousand times.

I'm taking the boat, Jenny.

If you come, I promise you
you'll never regret it.

Well, my dear, if not..

...then it's goodbye now.

Oh, Mary..

...has Mr. Rarick left
for his office?

I don't think so, ma'am.

- Oh, good morning, John
- Good morning, my dear.

Oh, I'm so glad
you're still here.

I was afraid you'd
left for the office.

No, I have an appointment
here at the house.

- You're up early, aren't you?
- Yes.

Oh, you're looking fine.

Perfectly splendid, Jenny.

John, may I have just a minute?
I want to ask you something.

I'm afraid it'll have to wait,
my dear. This is very urgent.

Oh, this is
very urgent too, John.

You must talk to me now.

John, I wanted to ask you if we
couldn't get away for a while.

If we could perhaps take
a little trip together

to Europe or someplace.

I want to get away
from New York.

Why don't you and Jennifer
take a run-up to Bal Harbor?

Oh, but Jennifer's
very busy right now, darling.

- She wouldn't want to go.
- Oh, what nonsense.

It's her duty to go. I'll speak
to her about it tonight.

Oh, no, don't do that.

I don't want to become a duty.

What if you..

Why, if you want to go, my dear.

Oh, I want to go with you, John.

You know how busy I am, Jenny.

Seems to me you

take the most inopportune
moments to want to get away.

Yes, it does seem so.

Well, I'll see you tonight
at dinner.

We'll talk it over then.

Yes, we'll talk it over then.

- Good morning, Hopkins.
- Good morning, miss.

Oh, Hopkins.

Yes, miss?

Has anyone inquired
for me this morning?

No, miss.

That's good.
Thank you.

If I give you this money

what assurance have I
that you'll keep your word?

You give me one hundred
thousand now

and the rest
when I get the divorce.

I'll take you over it,
Mr. Rarick.

Well, I've dealt in
a lot of merchandise

this is the first time
I've ever bought a husband.

And it's the first time
I've ever sold one.

No, you don't. You're not
selling any husband to me.

- You want Berry, don't you?
- Not this way, no.

I've tried it once.

But I'm not trying
to buy Berry again.

He's not for sale.

Very well,
but I won't divorce him.

You think I'm afraid
of a scandal?

- Well, I'm not.
- 'Jennifer!'

I love Berry.
He's all that matters to me.

And you can't make me
lose him again.

Lose him?

That's a little far-fetched,
isn't it?

He's hardly yours to lose.

- Isn't he?
- He loves me.

You know he loves me.

No matter what you think.

We've been fair to you.

I told Berry that
I wouldn't see him again

until you saw things fairly
and gave him up.

But I won't bother
to be fair any longer.

You're very foolish, my dear.

Goodbye, Mr. Rarick.

Perhaps you can make
Jennifer realize

that the only permanent hold
on a man like Berry

is a wedding ring.

Is it?
That's how well you know Berry?

I know men, my dear

and Berry is no different
from the rest.

Jennifer, and there's
one thing left.

You must never see him again.

I'm sorry, father.

Oh, good morning, Avery.

- Why aren't you at the office?
- Where have you been?

What do you mean?
I've been out, of course.

You were with him, weren't you?

That's none of your affair,
Avery.

Were you?

Well, suppose I was.

- What about it?
- I see.

Yeah.

You're the girl
with the level head.

The girl that can
take care of herself.

Sneaking in the morning after
like a common little--

- Avery!
- Well, it's true, isn't it?

It is not true. Well, I..

I was with him, but,
but not the way you think.

We weren't even going to
see each other again. But now--

Oh, now, listen, you can't
expect me to believe that.

I'm not asking you
to believe it.

It wouldn't do
any good if you did.

Because..

...I'm going to him.

We're going away together.

Oh, I see.

Avery, please try to understand.

- Mother. Mother!
- Hello!

- Mother. Mother!
- Give me Regent 4-6-6-6-5.

- Mother.
- Yes.

Hurry, please.

Hello,
is this Regent 4-6-6-6-5?

I want to talk
to Mr. Berry Rhodes, please.

This is Miss Rarick.

Hello, Berry.

This is Jennifer.

Berry, I've got something
to tell you. I..

I will go with you.

But I want to go.

Yes.

You wait there for me.

Well, I'll be there in about..

In about an hour.

Of course, you know I do.

Bye, dear.

Mr. Avery.

Is anything the matter, sir?

You look quite distressed.

No, nothing's the matter.

Nothing at all's the matter.

It's all really very simple,
Hopkins, did you know that?

What, sir?

Well..

There's an answer
to everything.

...you'd better give this
to my father.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Avery, sir.

Shall I get your hat?

Oh, no, thanks.

I won't need a hat.

Oh, pardon me, sir.

A note for you, sir.

- Yes, Hopkins.
- Sir?

Tell Mrs. Rarick
I want to see her.

Well, Mrs. Rarick's
gone out, sir.

Well, when she comes in,
send her to me.

Mr. Rarick.

Mr. Rarick.

The annual report just came
from the office.

And according to the figures

you're the leading merchant
of the world, sir.

Huh?

You're the leading merchant
of the world.

Send my son in to me, Dennison.

Your..

Oh, yes.

Of course, sir.

Right away.

Don't cry.

Mother, don't cry.

Miss Hartman, tell Dr. Jones
I want him immediately.

- Yes, sir.
- And tell him to hurry.

- Doctor.
- Yes?

- How is he?
- How is who?

- My son.
- Which case is he?

I'm John G. Rarick.

Oh, the boy
with the specialist.

How is he?

We'll know better
in a few minutes.

I want him removed from that
ward to a private room.

We have no private rooms.

Then remove him
to another hospital.

It will be very dangerous
to move him now.

- Is there nothing that, that--
- No.

And there's nothing
that money can do.

Not now at any rate.

I should..

...like to sit by his side if..

- If I may.
- We'll call you.

And he keeps asking
for his mother.

I'd get her here
if it's possible

Yes, she..

They've located her.

- She's coming.
- Yes, sir.

Mrs. Rarick.

John!

Oh, John!

There, there, there.

- It's going to be alright.
- Where is he?

Av..

We can't see him yet.

Later on.

It's going to be alright.

But, John, you're sure you're
not just telling me that--

Don't worry, sit down here.

John..

...I almost didn't hear..

..in time.

I should have been at home.

I'll never forgive myself
for not having been at home.

That wasn't your fault, Jenny.

I told him to telephone you.

Wherever you were.

I left you a note.

A note?

Didn't you get it?

No.

I..

I wrote something
that I, I didn't mean.

A note.

Yes, there, there was
something about a note.

Is that it?

I didn't have time to

to read it.

Perhaps you'd better
read it, John.

Not if you didn't mean it,
Jenny.

Mr. Rarick, I think
you'd better go in to your son.

Oh, John!

Avery darling.

Oh, Avery.

Avery darling.

Your mother, sweets.

Oh, I've been looking
all over for you, mother.

I looked in the spare room

and down by the willows.

Darling, I..

...I was in the store,
helping father..

Don't go away, mother.

- Will you?
- No, darling--

I get so scared
when I can't find you.

I..

I'll never go away again,
sweets.

I'm just going
to stay here with you.

Always.

Call.. Where's..

Call Jennifer and father
so we can all be together.

I'm here, Avery.
We're all together.

- It's daddy, darling.
- I'm glad.

That's what I wanted.

All of us to be together.

Jen..

Jennifer..

Jenni.. Where's Jennifer, huh?

Jennifer.

Jennifer, Jennifer,
where are you?

- Here I am, Avery. Here I am.
- Oh.

I was afraid you weren't home.

I'm home, Avery.

I didn't go.

I'm home to, to stay.

Oh, I..

I had such
a funny dream, Jen.

I dreamed that we were playing
in the loft

and you fell down..

...and..

...Jen fell down
and broke her crown.

And I came..

I came..

...tumbling..

...after.

Jennifer, don't you think you'd
better come in with us, dear?

Not today.

It's going to be awfully cold
out here, sweetheart.

Come on in.

- I'm gonna stay here..
- Come up soon.

Jennifer!

Jennifer!

Berry! Oh, my!

Jennifer, got my note?

Miss Rarick! There's a special
note from Berry.

I got it! I got it!

Berry!
