>> He's coming up now. is lost with him.

>> A great big boogyman.

>> Now, now this is no joke.

>> Now we get some fireworks. Now the

trouble starts.

>> Trouble? What do you mean trouble?

>> What makes you so nervous, J? You don't

know dad.

>> Oh, darling. If he's going to make me

look like that, I don't want to.

>> This is serious. You realize what we've

done, don't you?

>> What?

>> Well, we we we eloped. We ran away.

>> We got married.

>> We've got a fight on our hands.

>> Oh, darling. We're two to one. We can

fight the world.

>> But I wouldn't want to fight, Dad. I'm

his only son. I'm the only thing he's

got.

>> You're my husband, and you're the only

thing I've got.

>> Yes, I know. Now, you'd better get

dressed. I'll go on in. I know, Dad. You

can't keep him waiting.

Hello, Dad.

>> You young fool. I ought to take you and

break your neck.

>> Why, Dad?

>> What have you done?

>> I've married a marvelous girl.

>> Did you have to marry her?

>> Now get that out of your mind. She's as

straight as a die.

>> Were you drunk?

>> No.

>> Well, who is she and who are her people?

>> Her people? Well, well, I've never asked

her, Dad, to hear you talk. Anyone would

think I picked her up. As a matter of

fact, Marian's a charming, decent girl

who happens to work for a living.

>> How does she earn her living?

>> She was a synographer.

>> A stenographer?

>> But she'd stack up with any of the girls

we know.

>> That being the case, didn't it occur to

you that I might like to have met the

woman who was going to take our name?

>> Yes, I thought of that. But to tell the

truth, Dad, you're a bit of a snob.

>> What?

>> Well, you are. Because she happened to

work for a living. you to risked her and

questioned her. And you couldn't do that

to her. She's got too much spirit. So

rather than take a chance of losing her,

we ran away. I wanted to be sure of her.

>> Well, she's made sure of you. All right.

>> I'm glad she has.

Well, Dad, I love her and she loves me

and we're married. What are you going to

do about it?

>> Do you realize what the papers are going

to do about it? What the story will be?

Young meopes with stenographer in the

middle of the night.

>> Oh, damn.

>> A dirty, filthy, rotten scandal.

>> Now you listen to me. I'm one of the

biggest men in this country. And you're

my son. And as my son, you owe me a

duty. That duty is to live up decently

to the name that I've worked all these

years to give you. And now, now you're

quitting.

>> No, I'm not.

>> Yes, you are quitting. You're tangled up

with some woman of the town. One of the

kind that follows kids like you around

waiting for a chance to hook them.

Something that you want to bring down to

a place like this at night. Some low

down low fortune hunting paralite.

>> Marion.

>> Jack. Was he speaking about me?

>> Yes, I was.

Oh,

>> dead wise. Smart as a whip, too. Say,

>> what are you going to do about it?

>> I don't know.

>> You don't know?

>> Well, what?

>> Send him away.

>> If you knew dad, you know that if he

weren't now in the mood he's in, he'd

never come back.

>> Do you want him to come back? He called

your wife up into the street.

>> Oh, he's just mad now.

>> Wouldn't you know dad better?

>> I don't want to know him any better.

>> But we'll need him.

>> Do you need him? I don't.

>> Well, you're not going to borrow out a

$50 million just because he lost his

temper, are you?

>> His temper?

>> But he didn't mean it.

>> He did mean it. And I mean this. Not one

penny of that man's money are you going

to take. Oh,

>> you're just upset. Now, when you think

better of it.

>> No, you're going to work as we planned.

And I'll work, too. Jack, let's keep our

pride.

>> But honey,

>> I married you, not your father or his

money. Not for you to choose.

>> But Marian, I can't give up a fortune.

>> I can give up my life.

>> Go send him away.

Go out and send him away or I swear to

you I'll leave you. I mean it

to show you how wrong you are about

Marian. She just told me that if you had

50 times the money you have, she

wouldn't touch a penny of it. And that

goes for me, too, Dad.

>> I'm with her 100%.

I love her, and I'm going to work for

her. We We don't need you, Dad.

>> J.

Jack. Yes, Dad. Come here, boy.

I suppose this is the right girl for

you. Suppose it is.

>> It is. Dad,

>> have you realized that they'll only say

one thing about her?

>> What's that?

>> She'll be just the stenographer that

Jack Merrick eloped with in the middle

of the night.

>> But what's wrong with that?

>> Oh, it's all very well to be cockshore

now, but you've got your lives before

you. And you mark my words, the day will

come when she'll resent, and rightly

too, the imputation that she caught you

off guard, that she hooked you for your

money.

>> Well, now suppose we call this a day for

now.

>> Just what do you mean?

>> I mean, have the marriage a null?

>> Never.

>> If you wanted to start this girl off

right, you'd let me have this marriage

anull quietly. Then the impression would

be that you never had been married, but

that you had met a charming girl. You

brought her down to see me and I like

her. Now, do you get me?

>> Not quite.

>> Then after that, we'll see what she has

in the way of a background. Nothing at

all. Well, a little publicity and we'll

build one.

>> But she doesn't need one.

>> Oh, now wait a minute. You know how I do

things. We'll buy her some clothes.

We'll build her up gradually.

She's a charming girl. Everybody seems

fond of her. You propose to her, the

engagement's announced, and everything

is jade. Then for a happy courtship, and

after that anished a goodness slap bang

wedding, that'll start you both off

right and put you in a spot in this city

that the name of Mary entitles you to.

Now, does that make sense?

>> I see what you mean.

>> It'll be much better for the young lady

in the long run. Jack, you must see

that.

>> Yes. Yes, I see that. She's pretty

touchy about the whole thing. It'll need

handling.

>> Good. That shows she's got spirit.

>> Oh, she's got that. All right. And And

it would be much better for her,

wouldn't it?

>> Why, of course. And then, Jack, a real

honeymoon abroad.

>> Say, what are the chances for getting

the yacht on the Mediterranean?

>> Anything you want. You know how I do

things.

>> Okay. Say, now wait a minute. You will

be nice to her, won't you?

>> Sure.

>> Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah.

>> Are you going through with that?

>> You think I'm crazy? How do I know who

she is?

>> He's in love with her.

>> Oh, he's nothing but a kid. And this

woman swept him off his feet. When the

time comes for him to marry,

he'll marry Josh Carton's daughter. And

he'll like it.

>> The young Carson girl, eh?

>> Yeah. That little Catherine Carson.

She's a charming kid. Good family, good

breeding, one of his own class. If I

hang it all, man, this kid's the only

thing I've got.

>> I don't think you'll break this thing

without a fight.

>> Well, we can fight, Catwick. We've

handled people before this, haven't we?

Let her start.

>> Go on.

>> Dad's thinking of you. It would be much

better for you.

>> What is his plan of your father? Well,

he thinks we should cause a day just for

now.

>> Call our marriage a day.

>> We'd still be married.

>> How could we if they know it?

>> Well, don't you see? We'd be engaged all

over again.

>> I see. And in the meantime,

>> well, Dad would build you up with

people.

>> Build me up? I don't need building up.

>> Well, well, you want a position, don't

you?

>> I've got a position. I know why.

>> Well, who said you want?

>> You did.

>> Well, I'll back Dad's judgment. After

all, he is somebody. His opinion counts

for something.

>> You're right. It does. It counts for

you. What is your dad exactly? What do

you think you all are? You want to call

this thing a day? All right, call it a

day. I'm through.

>> Why marry?

>> Mr. Merrick, I married your son because

I loved him and thought he loved me. I

felt that if he worked on his own for

his faith that would make a man of him.

I put him to the test and he failed me.

>> No. Marian,

>> you came here to save your son from a

fortune hunting parasite. Well, you

happen to have saved her instead.

Another marriage is taken back. I don't

want him.

>> Marian, back is calling back.

So, you gave him the $20. You didn't

have to pay all that. Now you've given

him the rent money, and we'll be out on

the street. Baby had to have his milk.

>> I could have gone down to the corner and

got it for 50 cents.

>> Why didn't you say so?

>> Now, let me tell you something for your

own good, Miss Donna. You get $50 a

week. Out of that, you pay me 20 when

you pay me. That leaves you 30 to run

everything. Food, clothes, rent, and all

breakdown. And then what would happen?

have done long ago?

>> Go to the baby's father. Let him out.

>> No.

Where's my umbrella?

>> I left it with the bath. It makes

puddles out there. I'll get it for you.

What's the matter, Miss Donald?

>> Tell us from the office and say I'll be

late.

>> Well, what's the matter?

>> I'm all right. Little faint. I'm

perfectly all right. It's nothing the

matter. Get me a cup of tea, will you?

worry. Marion, you are his very life.

>> Oh, I wish I could see him.

>> Of course you can't. He's at home.

>> I know. I know. I know.

>> You want it on the telephone?

>> Hello.

>> Yes, Mrs. Ferguson.

This is Marian Donald.

Yes. How is he?

Hello. Hello.

>> She rang off.

>> What did Mrs. Ferguson want?

>> She said he wanted me to come over. I

should come over immediately.

>> You'd better go. He's asked for you and

it must be serious.

>> Get my wrap quickly.

>> Paper. Paper lady.

[Music]

>> What's that?

>> That's an outrage. The way they've

distorted that.

I don't need these papers to tell me

what I am. Her eyes told me that night.

I'll never forget those eyes. It seemed

as though I'd stolen a part of her soul.

Oh, it was most awful.

>> Well, that's past. You must think of

your future.

>> My future?

>> But you're financially able to do most

anything you want to now.

>> I'm not touching a penny of that money.

>> What?

>> I'm giving it all back.

>> But you need money for your boy. about

this money. When he grows up, what can I

tell him when he asks me where this

money came from?

Oh, how I'd like to undo this whole

awful thing.

>> Well, don't get excited, Marion. Wait,

and we'll discuss the whole matter when

we get to your apartment.

>> I'm giving up the apartment as soon as I

can.

>> You are?

>> I can't endure the place. The thing's

part of that mad dream.

I must have been mad.

Donald story for Sunday. The great

secretary problem. Gee, this will set

the wives up high in a kite. Should a

wife have a hand in choosing her

husband's secretary?

>> Oh, give the girls a chance or the wives

will be picking them out of the old

lady's home.

>> And what about the secretaries?

>> Ah, there's always the follys.

>> There are a lot of key punchers in this

b waiting for the boss to give them a

little sugar.

>> Well, well, well, well. Look what

grandma brought. The old man himself.

Who? Ferguson with an autograph, too.

>> To Marian from HF. That's Hector

Ferguson. All right. It

>> sure is.

>> He certainly done something for this

town.

>> He certainly did.

>> Hey, what's the low down on that bedside

story when he kicked off?

>> You mean about this Donald girl and the

wife at the death bed?

>> Yeah,

>> I got the low down on that. Pretty sad.

Love with this Donald girl. All right.

>> He was conservative, but he was no

chaser.

>> Look what I found. Not thinking.

>> He's a child.

>> What do you say?

Say, "Bring the box down a little."

>> Wait a minute. You look at me.

>> Wait a minute. I'll handle it.

>> Will you put the punk over there?

>> Say, "Here you are.

>> Who's this, Sunny?" Huh?

>> Fergie.

>> Hunky Fergie. Say, is that a story or

not?

>> Sounds pretty raw to me.

>> Oh, the challenge is that town.

>> Well, his mother's still Miss Donald,

isn't she?

>> Yeah. Ferguson, isn't it?

>> Yeah.

The women lead it up. Even the mayor

weep.

>> Here she is.

How do you do?

>> What are you doing? You can't take my

baby pictures quickly.

We didn't take anything. We have to take

my Get out of my way. Oh, my darling.

Get out of here all of you. Beep. Beep.

Get out and stay out. Don't ever come

back. Get out.

>> Come on. Get out. Get out. I want you in

a lady's house.

>> I left you in bed. I can't be in two

places at once. They must have stole him

out of it.

We got the right.

>> They've gone.

>> I've got to tell them the truth. Tell

them who Jackie's father is.

>> How can you do that? They wouldn't

believe you and they'd only just talk

the truth and make matters worse.

There's only one person in the world who

should kill him. That's the boy's

father.

>> Well, he doesn't even know the child's

existence.

>> He must be told. We telephone and ask

him to come here now.

>> You think he'd come with this candle

now?

>> We can soon find out.

>> I haven't seen him in 4 years.

>> What difference does that make? This is

his obligation.

>> But he's married.

>> Even so, this is still his obligation.

>> That's right. I'm sure you'll find

>> I will. You're such a good friend.

>> Not at all. Cheer up, Marion, and good

>> Thanks.

his clothes on. Mr. is coming.

[Music]

>> You want to get dressed now?

>> Want to get dressed?

>> Goody goody. Good.

>> Nice, mommy.

There'll be some rejoicing when those

Merics know they've got a son and heir.

Young Merik's wife can't never have a

child of her own.

Ever since she had that motor smash up

in France, she's been a in a

wheelchair. And there's no heir to all

those millions but our young Jackie.

Oh, there'll be joy bells ringing. All

right.

All right, please.

You'll have to watch out if they don't

try and steal him from you.

>> Steal him?

>> Well, if that old man Merrick got it

into his head that he wanted the child

with all his influence and money or we

wouldn't stand a dog's chance against

him.

>> What are you talking about?

>> Well,

you know what you're about asking the

father over here. But I'd watch out.

They're an unscrupulous bunch. And and

what?

>> Well, they'd have a lot on their side in

the law courts with all the lies the

newspapers are saying about

>> the law court.

>> Can't you see what this child means to

that family?

Yes. I don't say as they would steal

him, but it's on the cards they might.

And those people never lose anything

they go after.

>> Come on, Jackie. Have your thoughts on.

Don't dress him.

>> I want

quiet as a mouse and then I'll come back

and read to you.

>> Goody. Goody.

>> Marsh. Don't go. Please. Wait a moment.

Donald, please.

>> Will you come in here, please, sir?

>> Thank you.

>> Hello, Marian.

>> Hello, Jack.

Didn't take you long to get here.

>> You asked me to come right away.

>> I know. Something came up and I thought

I might need your help.

>> You can bank on that anytime.

>> Well, you see it. It's all settled now.

>> Are you sure? Because if there's

anything I can do.

>> Thanks.

>> You'd rather not tell me what it is.

>> Well, it's really of no importance now.

>> I see.

Well, that's that. You're looking very

well.

>> Thanks. So do you. A little sinner.

>> At 3 years hard work, I guess.

>> Yes.

>> That's awfully good of you to come over.

I'm sorry I got you on a wild goose

chase.

>> If there is anything I can do, I hope

you will call on me.

>> I good.

>> Come here to me this minute.

My goodness.

>> Hello, Mommy.

>> Hello, darling.

>> Yours?

>> Yes, mine.

>> I see.

I didn't believe it.

>> What?

>> I heard something about a child in

Ferguson's will. But

>> is that what they're saying?

>> I heard something about it.

Well, goodbye, Marian. Take care of

yourself.

>> Jack, wait. Wait.

>> Yes.

>> Will you come with me?

>> Why? Of course.

>> And now I lay me down to sleep. I pray

the Lord my sight

before I wake. I s

make be my own mother's little boy be

with her always Jesus. Amen.

Marian.

>> Yes.

>> Why didn't you tell me? Why didn't I

know?

>> You know now. You had to know.

>> How old is he?

>> How old would he be?

I can't believe it. I can't believe it.

>> Where was he born? Here in Chicago.

>> Yes.

>> Why didn't you come to me?

>> I want to stand on my own.

>> Was that fair to him? It's a serious

thing having a child.

>> Yes, it is.

>> What reason could you possibly have had

for keeping him away from me? I called

on you today because I felt he needed

your protection.

>> Of course. Of course.

>> Would you have let me go away today

without

>> I was afraid.

>> Afraid of me. His father.

>> I was afraid you might try to take him

from me.

>> Marian,

>> can you blame me?

>> I know. I know. We mustn't think of

that. We must just think of him now. You

don't know how I long for something like

this. And something just like this, too.

You young husky. It's your dad. Your

dad. Look at me. It's your own father.

You monkey.

>> He is like you, Jack.

>> Of course he is. I saw it right away.

>> He's reminded me of you often.

>> Really?

>> Really?

>> I can't understand

>> what?

>> Oh, nothing. Never mind. I've got him

now, haven't I? I've got you now, you

young Samson.

>> Come out here.

There we are.

>> Hey, Mary. This is a tough kid. Do you

know it? How much does he weigh?

>> 30 lb.

>> Yes. And then some. He's got the merry

jaw all right, hasn't he? You're a mer,

aren't you, young

>> Jack? You will stand by him now, won't

you?

>> You try and stop me.

>> We must stop that rumor.

>> We'll stop it. All right. Leave that to

dad. Gee, just wait till he knows about

this.

>> You're his father. Anything that must be

done, you do, will you? Marian, why

didn't you come to me before?

>> Look at us, man.

Just wave three.

>> My kitty car.

>> I'd love it.

You know, Marian, when you left me out,

I went to Paris. I had to get away.

Everything here reminded me of you. I

went crazy over there. Then Flip Carson

came over. In spite of what I was doing,

she seemed to understand. Well, we were

married and then the smashup, you know.

>> Yes, I remember this day.

>> They thought I was going under at first.

I didn't care much. The only thing I

could think of was what a weak needed

rudder I'd been. And I swore to myself

that if I pulled through, I'd try to be

more of the man you wanted me to be.

>> Did you, Dad?

>> I swore I'd find you. I'd chuck dad in

the money. I'd find you. And it was that

that pulled me through that thought.

>> Yes.

>> Then when I was convolescent, they

showed me poor little flip. All battered

up. So patient and brave. I remembered

your words. you know about being a man

and sticking. So I stuck. I've been

working too, Marian, all the time.

>> No, I'm proud of you.

>> Marian,

we've got to come together again.

>> But we can't.

>> We must.

>> But we can't.

>> Why?

>> We just can't.

>> You mean because you don't love me?

>> No, I won't let myself.

>> How can you dictate to yourself any more

than I can? I won't pretend.

>> You must. We both must. Why?

>> Why, Jack? We have no moment to lose.

The reporters were here this afternoon

and they were inferring that Jackie was

>> was what?

>> Oh, what you heard. I'm afraid of the

newspapers. We must stop them.

>> Oh, gee. What time is it? 6:00. We can

take care of the newspapers. All right.

But you leave everything to Maji.

>> Jack, I'm rested until I hear from you.

>> When I get things fixed up, I'll come

back and let you know.

>> All right.

>> I'll be here by 9:00 anyway.

>> Good.

Goodbye.

>> Goodbye.

>> Goodbye.

>> Oh, darling. Oh, my sweet. My

sweetheart. Aren't you a sweet darling?

Give me a

>> Oh, do you? I love you. Oh, you

sweetheart. Oh, how good. Do you want to

go to bed now? No. Of course not. But

you have to. You have to go to bed. Oh,

don't you tickle me. No, darling. So

sweet.

Come on now. Go to bed, darling. No,

don't take a mother.

[Music]

>> Sorry to have disturbed you so late.

>> It's all right.

>> Do you mind bringing the other trunks up

to you?

>> The two that are downstairs?

>> If you please. Never mind, Fred. We're

taking just what we barely need for you

and the baby myself.

>> I have the babies right here.

>> Fine.

>> I'm sorry to see you go, miss.

>> No, thanks, Fred.

>> But invite you to

>> Thank you.

>> Shout if you want anything.

>> I will.

>> Goodbye.

>> Goodbye.

>> Nice young man. Single too busy. We're

going away.

So, you're giving it all up.

Oh, what a relief that'll be. That's

true, too.

Get back to something normal. Something

we can call our own.

What are you going to do when you go to

work?

>> Oh, I don't know. I've got lots of

ideas.

This young Merrick's in love with you.

Know that?

>> Yes.

>> What's more, you're in love with him?

>> No, that's impossible.

>> But he's coming again tonight. He's

promised to see that Jackie name is

protected. He's coming here to let me

know what happened.

And I'm starting all over again. The

clean new page.

>> Is that why you're leaving so sudden?

Because you're afraid to see much of

him.

>> No. And I'm not afraid of anything. From

now on, I'm going to fight back out of

it all.

>> Madame, Mr. Mar is here. Oh, thanks.

I've left some things in the other room.

Will you bring them in here?

>> Good evening.

>> Good evening.

>> I'd like to see this child.

>> I'm sorry. He's in better sleep.

>> You've convinced my son pretty

thoroughly that this boy is his.

>> He convinced himself. I have further

proof that he needs it. What was your

reason for withholding the fact of the

child's existence until now?

>> I'd rather not discuss that.

>> Well, what was your motive in calling

upon us today?

>> I called upon Jack.

>> Why?

>> Because my baby needed his father's

protection.

>> Jack's told me of the circumstances, and

I am prepared to do the right thing.

>> Yes.

>> When I say the right thing, I'll remind

you that I have no air beyond Jack and

this child's place in the world.

>> Understand all that.

>> Now, I'm willing to take this child.

>> You are?

>> Provided he's a fit and normal child. I

will

>> fit and normal child.

You're robbing that child of his place

in the world.

>> His place in the world is with me, his

own mother.

>> Mother,

>> what short of a mother are you?

>> How dare you?

>> We can take that child from you.

>> You can't.

>> Can't we? Are you a fit person to bring

up a child? Could you convince a court

of law that you are?

>> A court of law?

>> Yes. A court of law. I'll fight you if

it takes every dollar I've got in the

world, and I'll win that child in open

court.

>> You couldn't.

>> Couldn't I?

>> Suppose I tell the court it's not Jack's

child.

>> You'd brand him that, eh?

>> I don't. No. No.

>> Yes, you would.

>> Yes, you would. You'd do anything. I got

your number the first time I ever laid

eyes on you. When you lured my boy up

there to that place in the lake, you

were after him then for what you thought

you could get. And you're after him now.

>> Am I?

>> You are.

>> I am. Of course I am. And I can take

him.

>> Miss Donald, please.

>> You're fighting me for my son. All

right. I'll fight you for yours. I'll

take him from you.

>> Marian Jack,

>> I forbid you to come here.

>> Hello, Dad.

>> Jack, do you remember what you said this

afternoon? That we should come back

together again.

>> Yes, dear.

>> You love me. You've always loved me. You

love our son. Isn't this true? We should

never have been part. Should we?

>> It is true, dear. It is true,

>> Jack.

>> Jack, I begged you to send him away

before, and you failed me. Send him

away. Don't fail me now.

>> You must listen to me.

>> It's all up, Dad. Please go. I know what

I'm doing.

>> You contemptable creature.

>> Get out of here. Get out. I'm through.

Well, I'm not through.

>> Marian. Marian, did you mean that?

>> Of course I did.

>> Then you do love me.

>> I do love you, Jack.

>> Oh, we'll go away at once. I'll never

fail you again. Never. We'll take our

boy and go away.

>> Just we three.

>> Nothing will ever separate us again.

Ever.

>> Nothing ever.

>> We'll start all over again. We'll go

away. Yes.

>> You get ready. I'll arrange everything

and come back for you.

>> All right. Dear,

I'll be waiting.

Pack everything.

We're dying away. We're leaving

tomorrow. Have you changed your plans?

>> Yes. Where are we going now? Europe.

Anywhere. I don't know. Then you're not

giving everything up. No, I'm not giving

anything up.

[Music]

>> You say this will smash your life. What

have you done to my life?

>> I had your best interest of heart. God,

>> you have a gutter heart. You try to run

my life the way you run your business.

>> I wish you were as sound as my business.

>> I'm glad I'm not. I'm human.

>> Human? You hum to that little wife of

yours and trusted her life to a useless

no good bum in Paris.

>> I know

>> you'll realize that half the time when

that child is smiling that poor little

buddy of hers is in torture.

>> I know that too.

>> You know you know and yet you can leave

her in a chair of pain alone. Her spirit

broken her heart broken with nothing in

the world but the memory of you her

husband who had left her for a creature

whose name no decent person.

>> Stop it. Stop it. Well, I haven't got a

heart, eh? I'm inhuman, am I? Have you a

heart? Are you human?

>> Stop it. Stop it. Yes, I tell you. Don't

I know? You brought all this about,

didn't you? Didn't you?

>> Hello, dear.

>> Hello, Mary.

>> Hello, Jack.

>> Hello, dear.

>> I came with the dog.

>> Yes, dear. I I'm coming home right now.

>> I got anxious. I telephoned from the

man's voice. I gathered that something

must be wrong.

>> No. No. Dad and I had to get straight on

something. That's all.

>> Don't you look so glum, Papa Mary.

>> All right, dear. All right, but we

shouldn't be out like this.

>> Oh, it's a glorious morning. The sun's

shining and the birds are singing. It's

good to be alive. And you two old fogies

arguing in a musty old room.

>> Can I know what this is all about?

>> Well, I'll tell you at home. There's a

lot to tell.

>> I can guess. of it.

>> Did you tell Papa Merrick about finding

the boy?

>> Yes. Yes, dear. I did. Yes.

>> Can't I be in on it?

>> Catherine,

>> will you go along and leave Jack here

with me?

>> There's nothing more. I'll go with you

now.

>> Do you want me to sail along and leave

you two alone? All right, I will.

>> No, I'll go with him.

>> Jack, please. This may be the last thing

I'll ever ask you.

>> Jack, when they ask like that, you'd

better stay. I'll sail along. I'll be

dying to hear, though. I'll go with you.

>> No, Frederick is waiting.

>> Frederick,

>> what's the use? Let's not start all over

again.

>> Oh, boy.

Don't you realize

that you're all I've got in this world?

>> Beautiful morning to be going away.

You see madam l is it cold in France now

madam

>> is it cold in France now?

>> Yes in the north of France it's very

cold but in the south of France it's

warm what you call sunny

>> the sunny south of France

>> France is it now? I thought we were

going to good old London town.

>> Your team madam you haven't had any

sleep all night. Turn over there.

>> Go asleep on the train.

>> You mind? Mr. Jackie has something to

say about me.

There's your bell.

>> What's the matter?

>> I'm what the Americans term allin. My

feet will go just so far and no further.

We better send some of these toys to the

poor little boys in the hospital. We'll

never pack them.

Madame,

what is it?

>> A cup of lady.

>> Ask her to come in.

>> Mrs. Merrick, watch out for trouble now.

>> Go in the other room.

>> I'd be glad to get back to London.

>> All right.

>> I can manage. Thank you.

Yes. May I come in?

>> Yes, do.

>> I'm Flip Mer Jack. How do you do?

>> I'm glad I found you up. It's none for

calling, isn't it?

>> It's quite all right. Could we talk for

a minute?

>> Yes.

Where should we sit?

>> Do you mind if I

>> No, not at all.

I'll get you a match.

>> Looks like moving day. You going away?

>> Yes, we're leaving today.

>> I'm glad I caught you.

Thank

you.

>> No, not now.

>> Do sit down.

Mary and D.

Jack told me about finding you

yesterday, though I only saw him for a

moment. He could talk of nothing else.

And of the boy, too. Yes. I suppose

you're wondering why I'm here. I'll tell

you why. I've just left Papa Merrick's

house. Jack and his father have been at

it all night. They're nervous wrecks,

both of them. And they won't let me in

on what it's all about.

>> You don't know? They wouldn't tell me a

thing. But I have a pretty shrewd idea.

Jack said he'd have lots to tell me when

he got home. But I did feel that while

he and his father were apparently

deciding so much, we two women should

have some say in the matter ourselves.

>> Yes, Miss Donald. I've loved Jack

Merrick since I was a child in arms.

I've always been teased about it. You

know, I didn't know about you until

after Jack and I were married.

>> No. He told me about your elopment and

ever since then I've wanted to meet you.

>> Meet me? I've thanked you a thousand

times from the bottom of my heart.

>> Why do you thank me?

>> I think you had a great deal to do in

the molding of Jack's character. He's

been splendid. So kind and gentle. And

>> May I ask why you why you came here?

>> Because I want you to take him.

>> Take him? What do you mean? I mean, take

him. Not only because he's madly in love

with you, but there's the boy and

there's because it's right. And you love

him, of course. And loving him, you

could give him up to me. What right have

I to hold on to someone? Because I

happen to love him. What can I be to

him?

I'm only half a wife.

Isn't love finer than our body?

Nothing's finer than a son. He wants

children. Who doesn't want a child of

their own?

>> Yes, I see. I don't say this thing

doesn't hurt, but love's a beautiful

thing. It's the only thing. And nothing

fine comes without its pain, does it?

You found that out when your baby came,

didn't you?

It's because I love him. I can give him

up.

Because you love him, you can give him

up. Yes.

>> But I don't love him.

>> No.

>> No.

>> Are you being quite true to yourself?

>> Yes, I I am. I am. Mrs. Merrick,

whatever you may think of me, please

know this. I have no intention. I don't

love Jack. My plans are made.

Yesterday when he came here, he told me

all about you, of his love, his great

love for you. And he I know Mr. D.

Please.

>> Is that the youngster?

>> Yes. He wakes at the crack of dawn.

>> Could I? Would you like to see him,

please? You don't mind the muddle?

>> Oh, not at all. Shall we go?

>> Thank you so much.

And then we're going we're going out

walking and we're going to see the

flowers and we're going to have a

beautiful time.

>> Oh, hello Kelly.

Good morning.

>> Good morning to you, I'm sure.

>> Oh, he's been on. I have a picture of

Jack as a child that looked like him.

Oh, good.

Oh.

How old is he? Just over three. Oh,

bless him.

What's his name? Jackie. Jackie.

>> Jackie. Well, well, well,

sweetheart.

How would you like to go for a ride?

>> I've just left Dad. It's all over. I

left him actually crying. It was awful.

I'm on my way home now to tell Flip.

>> Your wife is here.

>> Here?

>> Yes. She's in there with a baby. But

>> without knowing what we had planned,

behind her back, she came here to give

you to me. She said she could give you

up because she loved you so much. But

>> I told her I did not love you and that

such a thing was impossible.

>> But why?

>> Why? Because her sacrifice showed me

what a horrible selfish love our love

would be. She showed me a finer love.

Jack, you've got to stand by her. You're

going on with her. But what about you

and me?

>> Our love will be a greater love if we do

our duty.

>> Our duty is to our son. Are you thinking

of him?

>> Yes, I am.

>> He needs my protection. You've no right

to deny him that.

>> Do you think I haven't longed for him to

know and love his father? But Jack, I

want to be worthy of his love. I don't

want to sink any lower ever.

>> Sink lower? What do you mean?

>> I'm not going to rob that brave little

woman of her life. I can't. I won't.

>> But you'd rob me of my son. What can you

do for him alone? You called on me

yesterday and I came, didn't I? in the

position you admit you've placed

yourself in. Could you protect him as I

could? Could you?

>> Here we go for a long ride.

>> Yes. Give me a long ride. Here we go.

>> What? Hello, Dad.

>> You like him?

>> Wasn't it a nerve out calling you this

hour of the morning? Oh, I was dying to

see him. I simply had to. Now I've seen

him. I'm satisfied.

>> Yes, he's fine, isn't he?

>> Thank you for letting me see him, Miss

Donald.

>> You'll forgive me for bursting in on you

like this, won't you?

I'm glad you came.

>> You two wanted us.

>> Oh, no. No.

Little curly head. You know, Miss

Donald, he confided in me a profound

secret. He's dying for a pony.

>> I want a pony.

>> So, I foolishly told him that if he was

staying in Chicago instead of going off

to foreign parks that I'd give him one.

>> That Shetland pony. Um, you know,

>> yes,

>> I bought a shap thinking he could be

trained to pull his chariot mine around

in the country, but Jack wouldn't hear

of it. He had sorted visions of smashups

and runaways. I told him he wouldn't be

losing very much if I was

>> Don't Don't say that.

>> I'm sorry, Jack.

>> I was only teasing. I think you better

take Mama Flip home. She's tired.

Goodbye, Marian. Goodbye.

Goodbye you little curly hair.

>> Goodbye.

Nice wine.

Now we pick out the toys for the poor

little orphan boys who had no nice home

own to live in and no mother to care for

Miss Potter, put his hat and coat on and

yours too.

>> Don't say anything, though.

>> Come along, Jackie.

Oh, that's my old daddy dog.

I have a little doggy

and

he was

every

Everybody

look at him.

Going on the train.

Mommy,

>> darling, do you remember the lady that

was here in the wheelchair?

>> Yes.

>> You know what she said about the pony?

>> Yes.

>> Would you like to ride on the pony?

>> Yes.

>> Would you, darling?

>> Yeah.

>> Take him over.

Stay with him always.

Go. Go. Go ahead.

>> Jackie. Jackie, come back to me. Come

back.

You know, mother likes to see your car

outside like that.

Jackie.

Roll that.

>> How you do that?

>> Did you get that?

>> You sure that you do?

>> All right then. I don't bother too much.

>> Add this.

>> If we can get an appropriation for $5

million more be sure and don't get this

over the barber.

>> I know the barber. That's why I'm

telling you.

>> 5 million more would be enough.

>> Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Will you

bring it all around?

>> Listen to you.

>> All right. All right. What is it?

>> Will you stop that cutting and and

have that child's haircut?

>> You have him looking like a blooming

convict. Well, I'd rather he'd look like

that than look like a girl. Now you keep

your nose out of this and tend to your

own affairs.

>> I suppose he ain't my affairs, eh?

>> Another word out of you and you're

fired.

>> Oh, fire yourself, you old fuss budget.

And you do that right.

>> Hello, madame. I have laid down victim

for finger wast.

>> Well, you better go and do your

fingerling right now.

But I cannot just

I cannot stay with this. Listen, will

you please cut this boy's hair?

>> Oh, you will make Mr. Nervous.

>> I'll make you nervous. I don't see what

he says. You know his father don't want

you.

>> Get out of here. Get out of here.

>> Mr. Jack, just see what they've done to

him. They've almost ruined him.

>> Who did that?

>> Your father. He said he didn't like the

curl. Just made him look like a little

girl. And so he had the men cut them all

off. That's what he did.

>> It's all right. But this part is not so

bad. We can fix it.

>> I don't know.

>> Chicago.

[Laughter]

See, did he mean me?

>> You ought to know you're from Chicago.

>> Hello. Hello. This is Mr. Merrick again.
