00:01:18,711 --> 00:01:21,771
- Well?
- Please, I must see Mr. And Mrs. Ballantine.
2
00:01:21,848 --> 00:01:24,442
- What for?
- Well, I've got something to give them.
3
00:01:24,517 --> 00:01:26,610
- They're on now. I'll take it.
- Oh, no!
4
00:01:26,686 --> 00:01:28,950
- I've got to do it myself.
- Not a chance, lady.
5
00:01:29,022 --> 00:01:31,286
Nobody's allowed backstage
but the actors.
6
00:01:31,357 --> 00:01:33,689
That's the rule,
and I ain't gonna break it.

# Of the Mason and Dixon Line ##
22
00:02:55,742 --> 00:02:58,768
- Oh!
- Flowers. Thank you.
23
00:03:06,653 --> 00:03:08,644
Oh, wonderful.
24
00:03:10,456 --> 00:03:14,415
Look. Pigeons.
25
00:03:14,627 --> 00:03:17,619
Oh, but I've tried.
Why, I've got something to give them.
26
00:03:17,697 --> 00:03:21,599
Oh, why didn't you tell me? A new gig, eh?
Hey, Bill. Take these to 'em.
27
00:03:21,668 --> 00:03:24,193
Here, you can't-
28
00:03:35,114 --> 00:03:37,514
It's a baby. It's a ba-
29
00:03:41,287 --> 00:03:46,088
Did somebody lose a baby?
30
00:03:54,968 --> 00:03:57,994
All right, wise guys.
Who put this baby in the basket, huh?
31
00:03:58,071 --> 00:04:00,733
- Don't look at me. I ain't done nothin'.
- Whose baby is it?
32
00:04:00,807 --> 00:04:03,241
- Is it a new part of your act?
- Somebody's kidding.
33
00:04:03,309 --> 00:04:07,177
Yeah, probably you, huh? Wise guy.
You're comedians- puttin' a baby in a basket.
34
00:04:07,247 --> 00:04:10,683
Is that a laugh, huh? Wait a minute.
Wait a minute. There's a note here.
35
00:04:10,750 --> 00:04:12,775
Oh, sweetie.
36
00:04:12,852 --> 00:04:17,346
"DearJoe and Kit, I've asked my landlady
to bring little Wendy to you.
37
00:04:17,423 --> 00:04:19,948
"The doc says my time's just about up...
38
00:04:20,026 --> 00:04:22,756
"but as long as I know
the baby's in your hands...
39
00:04:22,829 --> 00:04:25,821
I don't mind joining Flossie.
Good-bye. Your Pal."
40
00:04:25,898 --> 00:04:28,867
- It's Barney O'Hara's baby.
- It is Barney's.
41
00:04:28,935 --> 00:04:31,961
But she's got Flossie's eyes.
You remember how pretty she was?
42
00:04:32,038 --> 00:04:34,268
Yeah, she and Barney
were a beautiful team.
43
00:04:34,340 --> 00:04:38,037
Gee, they were marvelous.
Well, what are we gonna do with her?
44
00:04:38,111 --> 00:04:39,840
We're gonna keep her.

87
00:07:48,534 --> 00:07:50,968
You know what I was thinkin'?
88
00:07:51,037 --> 00:07:54,564
First let me get used to the idea
that you've been thinking at all.
89
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:58,076
- Well, what?
- Remember when they straightened out Barney O'Hara's affairs...
90
00:07:58,144 --> 00:08:02,012
and they found out that he'd made half
the payments on that farm in New England?
91
00:08:02,081 --> 00:08:04,311
Yes, and we're trying to get rid of it.
92
00:08:04,383 --> 00:08:07,819
Well, maybe that's where we're wrong.
Maybe we oughta keep up those payments.
93
00:08:07,887 --> 00:08:11,220
- For what?
- Well, so we could have a place where we could all settle down.
94
00:08:11,290 --> 00:08:15,420
- You know, retire.
- Are you crazy? It takes money to retire.
95
00:08:15,495 --> 00:08:18,191
- We got a bank account, ain't we?
- Thanks to Wendy.
96
00:08:18,264 --> 00:08:21,825
But it's not enough to retire on,
so forget it.
97
00:08:21,901 --> 00:08:26,167
Ah, listen, Kit. Let's give her something
that we've never had- a home, huh?
98
00:08:26,239 --> 00:08:28,503
Maybe that's the way
Barney figured it for Wendy.
99
00:08:28,574 --> 00:08:31,008
Maybe that's why he picked out the farm.
100
00:08:31,077 --> 00:08:34,103
Why, sure it is.
It's up to us to go through with it.
101
00:08:34,180 --> 00:08:37,547
- What do you say, honey?
- It's a pipe dream, Joe.
102
00:08:37,617 --> 00:08:40,586
I can just see you in overalls.
103
00:08:40,653 --> 00:08:44,521
Out busting sods, and nobody to
give you a hand except the cows.
104
00:08:44,590 --> 00:08:48,890
And me in a gingham apron sweeping
and cooking and making beds every day.
105
00:08:48,961 --> 00:08:51,259
Well, maybe we could afford a maid.
106
00:08:51,330 --> 00:08:54,458
We could not.
I guess I can hold up my own end.
107
00:08:54,534 --> 00:08:58,197
- Then you'll go for it, huh?
- Well, we'll talk about it in five years.
108
00:08:58,271 --> 00:09:03,106
- Ah, five years.
- In the meantime, you better start making those payments.
109
00:09:03,175 --> 00:09:06,235
- Look, I'll wire that lawyer tonight.
- You'll write him a letter.
110
00:09:06,312 --> 00:09:09,247
Remember, we're gonna be
New England farmers.
111
00:09:11,450 --> 00:09:14,476
Listen, Wendy, honey, it's gonna be
a little tough for about five years, see?
112
00:09:14,554 --> 00:09:16,112
But after that, wow!
113
00:09:28,801 --> 00:09:31,065

Oh, Wendy,
you go ahead and tell them.
162
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,936
Ladies and gentlemen-
Oh, just a minute, mister.
163
00:12:57,009 --> 00:13:00,137
Aren't you staying for the picture?
164
00:13:00,212 --> 00:13:03,306
My goodness. He must've come
just to see the vaudeville.
165
00:13:05,584 --> 00:13:10,044
Ladies and gentlemen,
this isn't a regular curtain speech.
166
00:13:10,122 --> 00:13:13,023
You see,
this is our last performance...
167
00:13:13,092 --> 00:13:16,289
and tonight we're saying good-bye
to stage and show business...
168
00:13:16,362 --> 00:13:18,853
and leaving for our farm
up in New England.
169
00:13:18,931 --> 00:13:22,298
But before we go,
we want to say good-bye...

00:13:22,368 --> 00:13:25,826
and just this once
show what we think of you.
171
00:13:25,905 --> 00:13:28,806
Will everyone please stand up?
172
00:13:28,874 --> 00:13:31,468
Oh, come on. Everybody get up.
173
00:13:31,544 --> 00:13:34,172
- Come on.
- Just this once. Come on. Everybody up there too.
174
00:13:34,246 --> 00:13:36,874
Up. That's it.
175
00:13:36,949 --> 00:13:41,386
Folks, it's hard to say good-bye
to a good friend...
176
00:13:41,453 --> 00:13:44,581
and that's what you've been
to Dad, Mom and me.
177
00:13:44,657 --> 00:13:47,091
You've applauded when you liked us...
178
00:13:47,159 --> 00:13:50,356
and even given us a little hand
when you didn't.
179
00:13:50,429 --> 00:13:54,058
You've been swell,
and we'll never forget you.
180
00:13:54,133 --> 00:13:57,569
Because, honest to goodness...
181
00:13:57,636 --> 00:14:02,073
we could never have brought you
as much happiness as you've brought us.
182
00:14:02,141 --> 00:14:05,599
So now it's our turn to applaud you.
183
00:14:11,750 --> 00:14:15,777
�
184
00:14:42,481 --> 00:14:45,279
Well, good-bye, Sam.
Good luck to you.
185
00:14:45,484 --> 00:14:48,647
- Have you got the railroad tickets, Joe?
- Yes, I've got the tickets.
186
00:14:48,721 --> 00:14:51,383
Are you sure the train leaves
at 11:15 and not 10:15?
187
00:14:51,457 --> 00:14:53,448
Is everything down from the hotel?
188
00:14:53,525 --> 00:14:56,153
Did you leave a forwarding address
for the mail?
189
00:14:56,228 --> 00:14:59,493
Will you stop worrying? Leave everything
to me. I'll get you there all right.
190
00:14:59,565 --> 00:15:02,659
- I never forget anything.
- Hey, Dad, don't you remember?
191
00:15:02,735 --> 00:15:04,965
Our dressing room is downstairs.
192
00:15:05,037 --> 00:15:08,131
Come on, Joe. Come on.
193
00:15:08,207 --> 00:15:10,232
All right. All right.
194
00:15:10,309 --> 00:15:13,278
Hiya, Joe.
Gettin' ready for the big outdoors?
195
00:15:13,345 --> 00:15:16,405
- Got your cookbook, Kit?
- Well, if I haven't, we'll starve to death.
196
00:15:16,482 --> 00:15:19,417
Well, by cracky, Lenny,
Farmer Ballantine and her beau.
197
00:15:19,485 --> 00:15:22,010
Well, missy, how's the crop this year?
198
00:15:22,087 --> 00:15:26,786
Well, Ezra, I ain't a-sayin' it's good,
and I ain't a-sayin' it's bad.
199
00:15:26,859 --> 00:15:29,123
I'm just sayin' "mebbe."
200
00:15:29,194 --> 00:15:32,254
You better hurry with your packing, Wendy.
201
00:15:32,331 --> 00:15:34,663
- All right, Mom.
- Ah, she's got the gift of laughter.
202
00:15:34,733 --> 00:15:36,826
It's a crime takin' that kid
out of show business.
203
00:15:36,902 --> 00:15:39,530
- You're throwin'away a great career.
- We're gonna have a career.
204
00:15:39,605 --> 00:15:42,506
We'll just be gatherin' eggs
instead of laying 'em.
205
00:15:42,574 --> 00:15:44,599
I can just see you three as farmers.
206
00:15:44,677 --> 00:15:47,043
It gets awful lonesome
up in them "thar" hills.
207
00:15:47,112 --> 00:15:50,275
After a couple of months on the farm,
you'll be happy to play in Peoria.
208
00:15:50,349 --> 00:15:54,513
We'll be all right. Dad and I have been studying
scientific farming from these pamphlets.
209
00:15:54,586 --> 00:15:58,784
You'll find out there's only one life for you,
and that's show business.
210
00:15:58,857 --> 00:16:00,848
What kind of show business, Dave?
211
00:16:00,926 --> 00:16:04,384
Five and six a day billed under
a double feature and a couple of shorts?
212
00:16:04,463 --> 00:16:07,125
Oh, I know it ain't the paradise
it used to be...
213
00:16:07,199 --> 00:16:09,190
but it's still a pretty good game.
214
00:16:09,268 --> 00:16:11,668
Ah, it ain't the game, Dave.
It's what goes with it.
215
00:16:11,737 --> 00:16:14,205
We've been in every town in the U.S.A.
And been strangers.
216
00:16:14,273 --> 00:16:17,299
When we ride on trains at night,
we see light shining in people's homes.
217
00:16:17,376 --> 00:16:20,140
But where do we live?
In a lower berth.
218
00:16:20,212 --> 00:16:23,477
Listen, we never even had a chance
to vote yet. Not even once.
219
00:16:23,549 --> 00:16:26,677
But now we're goin' to a town where we
ain't gonna be strangers. Understand?
220
00:16:26,752 --> 00:16:29,186
Yes, and Wendy's
gonna lead a normal life.
221
00:16:29,254 --> 00:16:31,688
You know,
grow up like other children...
222
00:16:31,757 --> 00:16:34,248
have a home,
with friends her own age.
223
00:16:34,326 --> 00:16:37,659
Yes, the kid's gonna have neighbors
that she can drop in on.
224
00:16:37,730 --> 00:16:41,427
And Dad's going to be the leading citizen
of the community. Aren't you, Dad?
225
00:16:41,500 --> 00:16:44,162
You said it. Listen. When
the Ballantines walk down the street...
226
00:16:44,236 --> 00:16:47,569
they're gonna wave hello to everybody,
and everybody's gonna wave right back to 'em.
227
00:16:47,639 --> 00:16:50,733
For the first time in our lives,
we're gonna live like real people.
228
00:16:50,809 --> 00:16:54,711
- Your cab's here, Joe.
- Oh, thank you, baby. Well, so long, Hank.
229
00:16:54,780 --> 00:16:57,271
- Best of luck.
- Bye. Don't forget to write.
230
00:16:57,349 --> 00:17:00,045
All right. If you come around our way
at mealtime, drop in.
231
00:17:00,119 --> 00:17:03,179
I'll be doing three shows a day in the kitchen.
232
00:17:03,255 --> 00:17:06,520
And if you don't know our address,
ask for the mayor. That'll be Dad.
233
00:17:06,592 --> 00:17:08,924
That's me.
#We're farmers in the dell #
234
00:17:08,994 --> 00:17:11,428
- Bye.
- � W e're farmers in the dell �
235
00:17:27,046 --> 00:17:29,879
Board!
236
00:17:43,996 --> 00:17:46,931
I don't see the hired man, Joe.
237
00:17:46,999 --> 00:17:49,559
Oh, he must be around here someplace.
238
00:17:57,042 --> 00:18:00,808
Pardon me, mister, but have you
seen a man named Jeb Sparks?
239
00:18:00,879 --> 00:18:03,905
- I see him every day.
- I mean, here at the station.
240
00:18:03,982 --> 00:18:07,008
He's our farmhand
and was supposed to meet us.
241
00:18:07,086 --> 00:18:11,420
Well, ifJeb's gonna meet you,
he'll be here in- let's see- 30 seconds.
242
00:18:11,490 --> 00:18:14,015
- How do you know?
- The train was early.
243
00:18:14,093 --> 00:18:16,118
- Oh.
- "Theatre."
244
00:18:16,195 --> 00:18:19,096
You must be in the wrong town.
There ain't no theater here.
245
00:18:19,164 --> 00:18:21,997
There isn't? What do you do
for entertainment?
246
00:18:22,067 --> 00:18:25,525
Oh, just sit around and wait
for somebody to make a fool of themselves.
247
00:18:25,604 --> 00:18:28,198
That doesn't sound like much fun.
248
00:18:28,273 --> 00:18:31,470
Maybe 'cause you ain't the one
that's doin' the settin'.
249
00:18:33,779 --> 00:18:36,339
I don't see any town. Where is it?
250
00:18:36,415 --> 00:18:39,009
Right over that hill three miles.
251
00:18:39,084 --> 00:18:41,678
It's a long walk.
252
00:18:51,363 --> 00:18:53,354
- Jeb Sparks?
- Yep.
253
00:18:53,432 --> 00:18:56,196
I'm glad to know you. This is
Mrs. Ballantine. This is little Wendy.
254
00:18:56,268 --> 00:18:58,293
- Howdy.
- Train got here early, didn't it?
255
00:18:58,370 --> 00:19:00,065
- Yep.
- Don't let that worry you, Jeb.
256
00:19:00,139 --> 00:19:03,302
- Nope.
- Say, have you got somebody to deliver these trunks?
257
00:19:05,611 --> 00:19:08,739
Chatterbox. Well, hop in, girls.
258
00:19:08,814 --> 00:19:11,715
- Which way is the farm?
- The other side of town.
259
00:19:11,783 --> 00:19:14,183
- Is it very far?
- No.
260
00:19:14,253 --> 00:19:16,881
- Did you order that list of groceries?
- Yep.
261
00:19:16,955 --> 00:19:18,980
Will we have a good crop this year, Jeb?
262
00:19:19,057 --> 00:19:22,686
Well, I ain't sayin' yep and I ain't sayin' no.
Just sayin' "mebbe."
263
00:19:25,063 --> 00:19:27,327
He's stealing your stuff, honey.
264
00:19:44,116 --> 00:19:46,107
And look. There's the church.
265
00:19:46,185 --> 00:19:48,551
- Do they ring the bells on Sunday, Jeb?
- Yep.
266
00:19:48,620 --> 00:19:51,453
- When they do, it's Sunday school for you, Wendy.
- Yes, Mom.
267
00:19:51,523 --> 00:19:53,753
- Hey, that's the town hall, ain't it, Jeb?
- Yep.
268
00:19:53,825 --> 00:19:55,918
- When's the next town meetin'?
- Tomorrow night.
269
00:19:55,994 --> 00:19:59,794
You hear that, Kit? A town meetin' where
a man could stand up and have his say.
270
00:19:59,865 --> 00:20:02,959
- Real old-fashioned democracy.
- Darn right it's old-fashioned.
271
00:20:03,035 --> 00:20:05,060
This ain't no New Deal country.
272
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:23,545
What's the matter, Jeb?
273
00:20:23,622 --> 00:20:26,022
- Nothin', 'cept we're here.
- We're here.
274
00:20:28,393 --> 00:20:31,988
- It's beautiful.
- It's even prettier than the picture you showed us.
275
00:20:32,064 --> 00:20:35,261
Look at that barn!
It looks exactly like a- a barn.
276
00:20:35,334 --> 00:20:37,325
Oh, Mommy.
277
00:20:37,402 --> 00:20:39,870
Joe, did you see her face?
278
00:20:54,553 --> 00:20:57,021
Oh, it's wonderful.
279
00:20:57,089 --> 00:20:59,523
Oh, I've got to see my bedroom.
280
00:21:01,326 --> 00:21:03,988
Look! What a fireplace!
281
00:21:04,062 --> 00:21:07,088
I've gotta see my kitchen.
282
00:21:07,165 --> 00:21:09,759
This is it.
283
00:21:09,835 --> 00:21:12,599
Hey, girls! Get a load of this chair!
284
00:21:12,671 --> 00:21:17,301
Oh, man. And the silence!
I've never heard anything like it!
285
00:21:17,376 --> 00:21:21,836
It's all windows! Double exposure!
286
00:21:21,913 --> 00:21:27,044
Wendy! Joe! Come look at
this beautiful stove, with two ovens!
287
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:31,488
Oh, this is for me.
I think I'll pitch a tent right here.
288
00:21:31,556 --> 00:21:33,615
Yes, sir, this is for me.
289
00:21:33,692 --> 00:21:36,684
#The farmer's in the dell
The farmer's in the dell #
290
00:22:07,326 --> 00:22:09,317
Home.
291
00:22:20,138 --> 00:22:23,164
Kit, wake up! We gotta catch a train!
Come on! Wake up!
292
00:22:23,241 --> 00:22:25,232
Oh, all right.
293
00:22:36,254 --> 00:22:39,587
Oh, Joe, no more trains.
294
00:22:39,658 --> 00:22:42,752
No, Kit, honey.
No more trains. Never.
295
00:22:45,330 --> 00:22:48,128
Oh, what a day. What a day.
296
00:22:50,435 --> 00:22:52,869
Not bad. Not bad.
297
00:22:52,938 --> 00:22:55,372
- Joe?
- What?
298
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:59,240
We said we'd start out right.
Tell Wendy today.
299
00:22:59,311 --> 00:23:02,371
- Tell her what?
- You know very well what.
300
00:23:02,447 --> 00:23:04,915
About us not being her real parents.
301
00:23:04,983 --> 00:23:07,451
Oh, that. Oh, sure.
Why don't you go ahead and tell her?
302
00:23:07,519 --> 00:23:09,646
Oh, no. You said you'd do it.
303
00:23:09,721 --> 00:23:14,385
Can't I change my mind? You're the guy
that knows human nature better than I do.
304
00:23:14,459 --> 00:23:18,327
- Why don't you tell her?
- Joe Ballantine, you know you're the understanding one.
305
00:23:18,397 --> 00:23:21,798
I'll tell you. We'll toss a coin.
306
00:23:21,867 --> 00:23:26,827
Fine father. Can't even tell
his own child she's an orphan.
307
00:23:26,905 --> 00:23:31,399
Hmm. How would you like to find out maybe after
all these years that I wasn't your husband, huh?
308
00:23:31,476 --> 00:23:35,640
- Will you stop clowning?
- Listen. I ain't clownin'. I'm afraid. That's all.
309
00:23:35,714 --> 00:23:38,911
- Suppose we don't tell her?
- Oh, that's no good.
310
00:23:38,984 --> 00:23:41,817
She'd find out sooner or later
from strangers, and that'd be worse.
311
00:23:41,887 --> 00:23:45,186
- Yes, I know, Joe.
- Well, come on. Call it.
312
00:23:45,257 --> 00:23:47,248
Heads.
313
00:23:48,693 --> 00:23:51,491
Go on in now.
314
00:23:51,563 --> 00:23:53,656
All right. All right. I'll tell her.
315
00:23:53,732 --> 00:23:55,927
You think I'm afraid
to talk to my own kid?
316
00:23:56,001 --> 00:23:59,869
- Listen. I'll just say, "Wendy, the
time has come-" - Don't tell me. Tell her.
317
00:23:59,938 --> 00:24:02,532
All right. All right. I'll tell her-
318
00:24:02,607 --> 00:24:06,373
I gotta get that thing fixed.
319
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:11,672
Oh, you're up.
Did that rooster wake you too?
320
00:24:11,750 --> 00:24:15,686
- Wendy, the time has come-
- Yes, I know. For breakfast.
321
00:24:15,754 --> 00:24:17,779
I'm starved.
322
00:24:17,856 --> 00:24:21,155
Mom, you look simply scrumptious
in that gingham dress.
323
00:24:21,226 --> 00:24:23,558
You're the prettiest and "bestest" of all.
324
00:24:23,628 --> 00:24:26,893
And you too, Dad.
You look like a million yourself.
325
00:24:26,965 --> 00:24:29,058
In fact, we look like three million.
326
00:24:29,134 --> 00:24:32,194
Listen, Wendy.
This is gonna be tough, honey. Very tough.
327
00:24:32,270 --> 00:24:34,864
Sure. I know.
It's always tough on a farm.
328
00:24:34,940 --> 00:24:38,000
But we can lick it, the three of us.
We've done it before.
329
00:24:38,076 --> 00:24:40,476
- Ah, but, Wendy, listen.
- And we'll do it again.
330
00:24:40,545 --> 00:24:43,537
I'm so happy.
I guess I've never been so happy.
331
00:24:43,615 --> 00:24:45,845
We mustn't let anything spoil it.
332
00:24:45,917 --> 00:24:48,977
Come one, come all!
See and hear The Three Ballantines...
333
00:24:49,054 --> 00:24:51,682
in their latest creation,
"Down on the Farm."
334
00:24:53,825 --> 00:24:57,192
With a mom and dad like you
and this house and the farm and everything...
335
00:24:57,262 --> 00:24:59,753
I'm just about the luckiest girl
in the whole world!
336
00:24:59,831 --> 00:25:03,562
- But, Wendy, honey, I'm trying to tell you-
- What, Dad?
337
00:25:03,635 --> 00:25:07,731
Well, I'm trying to tell you...
that you got a table to set.
338
00:25:07,806 --> 00:25:10,468
Now go on. Get outta here, will ya?
339
00:25:12,177 --> 00:25:14,611
Ah, gee, Kit, I couldn't tell her.
340
00:25:14,679 --> 00:25:17,773
- Oh, I'm glad you didn't.
- You are?
341
00:25:17,849 --> 00:25:20,374
I'm kinda scared
of the way she might take it.
342
00:25:20,452 --> 00:25:23,250
Oh, honey. Well, come on.
Let's have that breakfast.
343
00:25:23,321 --> 00:25:26,381
I can hardly wait to get my hands
on that plow.
344
00:25:26,458 --> 00:25:29,427
All right, laugh, laugh.
345
00:25:29,494 --> 00:25:30,688
Oh, you kill me.
346
00:25:31,596 --> 00:25:33,689
- Well, Jeb, we all set?
- Yep.
347
00:25:33,765 --> 00:25:36,029
Gee, I've been waitin'
a long time for this.
348
00:25:36,101 --> 00:25:39,730
You better let me finish plowing the hill.
You'll find it smoother goin' up on the flat.
349
00:25:39,804 --> 00:25:43,570
Listen, Jeb, this is my farm, and by golly
I'm gonna farm it. Put them things on me.
350
00:25:43,642 --> 00:25:45,803
- Yep.
- You just get on over there and watch.
351
00:25:45,877 --> 00:25:48,072
All right.
352
00:25:48,146 --> 00:25:51,411
Giddap. Oh, yeah,
this is right down my back alley.
353
00:25:51,483 --> 00:25:54,247
I'll probably plow
about 50 or 60 acres today.
354
00:25:54,319 --> 00:25:56,583
Whoa! Whoa, Bessie! Come on, Bessie.
355
00:25:56,655 --> 00:26:00,113
Stay over here in the ballpark.
Throw me out a straight man.
356
00:26:00,191 --> 00:26:03,160
Come on, Bessie, cooperate.
Come around here, will ya?
357
00:26:03,228 --> 00:26:06,425
Hey, you better go that way.
358
00:26:06,498 --> 00:26:09,490
Don't tell me which way to go.
I know where to go.
359
00:26:09,568 --> 00:26:13,732
Come on around here, Bessie.
Hurry! Bess! Come here, Bessie!
360
00:26:26,351 --> 00:26:29,320
Oh, Dad!
361
00:26:29,387 --> 00:26:31,719
Come and get it!
362
00:26:35,427 --> 00:26:38,260
Huh. Anybody can plow
them straight lines.
363
00:26:38,330 --> 00:26:41,322
But when you make 'em round like that,
you can plant more in 'em.
364
00:26:41,399 --> 00:26:43,959
If you don't think so,
you go ahead and measure 'em.
365
00:26:44,035 --> 00:26:47,004
That's what they call scientific farming.
366
00:26:47,072 --> 00:26:51,600
Whoa. Yeah.
Anyway, that plow's crooked.
367
00:26:53,845 --> 00:26:55,836
Ah, this is the life.
368
00:26:55,914 --> 00:26:58,974
A hard day's work in the field,
then home to a great dinner.
369
00:26:59,050 --> 00:27:03,146
Oh, a great dinner. I only hope you'll
be able to eat it. I know it's gonna be awful.
370
00:27:03,221 --> 00:27:07,317
But don't you kids be foolish, because if it
isn't any good, we'll open a can of beans.
371
00:27:07,392 --> 00:27:09,383
Now-
372
00:27:10,795 --> 00:27:12,990
Oh, let's see it.
373
00:27:13,064 --> 00:27:16,033
You open it, Wendy.
I haven't the courage.
374
00:27:22,774 --> 00:27:25,971
Mom, it looks just like the ad
in the Ladies HomeJournal.
375
00:27:31,583 --> 00:27:34,177
Kit! What's the matter?
376
00:27:34,252 --> 00:27:38,313
Oh, I can't help it.
377
00:27:38,390 --> 00:27:41,325
It's the first thing that I ever cooked.
378
00:27:43,928 --> 00:27:46,590
- That's marvelous.
- It's all right.
379
00:27:46,665 --> 00:27:49,429
All right. Come and get it.
380
00:27:49,501 --> 00:27:53,835
We've got to step lively now if we're going
to make that meeting at the town hall.
381
00:28:00,512 --> 00:28:03,675
Howdy, folks. Hello. Hello.
382
00:28:03,748 --> 00:28:06,774
Well, we're here.
Ah, good evening, ladies.
383
00:28:06,851 --> 00:28:08,944
- Good evening.
- Oh.
384
00:28:09,020 --> 00:28:12,581
Isn't it a lovely evening?
They're shy, aren't they?
385
00:28:12,657 --> 00:28:14,887
Oh!
386
00:28:14,959 --> 00:28:17,427
Oh, good evening there, stranger.
387
00:28:17,495 --> 00:28:20,931
Say, tell me. What kind of a crop
do you think they're gonna have this year?
388
00:28:20,999 --> 00:28:23,559
- Ask me in September.
- What is it-
389
00:28:23,635 --> 00:28:26,035
Oh, look.
390
00:28:26,104 --> 00:28:29,130
- I'm awful glad to see you tonight, stranger.
- Huh? Yeah.
391
00:28:29,207 --> 00:28:32,233
We certainly do like
your little town, Mr., uh-
392
00:28:32,310 --> 00:28:35,575
- What did you say your name was?
- I don't think I said.
393
00:28:35,647 --> 00:28:38,548
Chatterbox is quite a character,
ain't he?
394
00:28:40,285 --> 00:28:43,743
- Don't you remember me, Mr. Stationmaster?
- Why, well, yeah.
395
00:28:43,822 --> 00:28:45,813
- Hello, Jeb.
- Hello.
396
00:28:45,890 --> 00:28:48,222
What's the matter with all these people?
397
00:28:48,293 --> 00:28:50,284
- Have they got dyspepsia?
- No.
398
00:28:50,361 --> 00:28:52,761
- Are they always like this?
- Yep.
399
00:28:57,001 --> 00:28:59,265
Good evening, folks.
400
00:28:59,337 --> 00:29:03,831
Makes my blood boil every time
I read that newspaper of his.
401
00:29:03,908 --> 00:29:06,308
Stonefield Democrat.
402
00:29:06,377 --> 00:29:09,813
Going the same way his party.
I suppose he'll start drinking too.
403
00:29:09,881 --> 00:29:12,679
Newspaperman. Huh.
404
00:29:17,355 --> 00:29:21,314
Uh, pardon me, mister. Could you tell me
how soon the meeting begins?
405
00:29:21,392 --> 00:29:23,690
- 8:00. Promptly at 8:00.
- Thank you so much.
406
00:29:23,762 --> 00:29:27,664
You see, we're strangers.
We just moved here. We're the Ballantines.
407
00:29:27,732 --> 00:29:31,293
Oh, sure. Where's your mother and father?
I'd like to get an interview.
408
00:29:31,369 --> 00:29:34,361
Oh, are you a newspaper man?
409
00:29:34,439 --> 00:29:37,875
Well, there seems to be
some question about that.
410
00:29:37,942 --> 00:29:41,002
Mom and Dad are right over there.
I'll introduce you.
411
00:29:41,079 --> 00:29:44,947
If I'd known we were going to be interviewed,
I'd have brought our scrapbook.
412
00:29:45,016 --> 00:29:47,348
But that's all right.
Dad will tell you everything.
413
00:29:47,418 --> 00:29:49,852
You'll like him. Everybody does.
414
00:29:49,921 --> 00:29:52,389
Here's a reporter
who wants to interview us.
415
00:29:52,457 --> 00:29:55,358
Mighty glad to know you,
Mr. Ballantine, Mrs. Ballantine.
416
00:29:55,426 --> 00:29:57,894
I'm Mike Shea of the Democrat,
county's leading weekly.
417
00:29:57,962 --> 00:30:00,123
Democrat up in this part
of New England?
418
00:30:00,198 --> 00:30:03,656
Yes, sir. You're looking at the editor,
reporter and typesetter rolled into one.
419
00:30:03,735 --> 00:30:06,795
- Well, tell me something. Do they read the paper here?
- They've got to.
420
00:30:06,871 --> 00:30:09,738
- Only one in town.
- Mr. Shea, we really don't want any publicity.
421
00:30:09,808 --> 00:30:12,470
Well, Kit, I wouldn't go
so far as to say that. We-
422
00:30:12,544 --> 00:30:14,705
Neither would I.
You see, I promised Mr. Shea-
423
00:30:14,779 --> 00:30:17,304
Why, you're news.
You people are an asset to this town.
424
00:30:17,382 --> 00:30:20,840
- And, believe me, it can certainly use a few assets.
- Thank you very much, my friend.
425
00:30:20,919 --> 00:30:24,184
You might say that we're gonna
try and fulfill our duties-
426
00:30:24,255 --> 00:30:26,689
- Oh, Judy!
- You might also quote me-
427
00:30:26,758 --> 00:30:28,749
He's nice, isn't he?
428
00:30:28,827 --> 00:30:30,988
- Judy, I've got to talk to you.
- I haven't time.
429
00:30:31,062 --> 00:30:34,190
- After the meeting then?
- I'm sorry, but we're staying for the church social.
430
00:30:34,265 --> 00:30:37,530
And after that, we're going to listen
to a little shortwave at my radio store.
431
00:30:37,602 --> 00:30:39,866
I don't thinkJudith
wants to talk to you, Shea.
432
00:30:39,938 --> 00:30:41,929
Ah, now, Freddy,
put yourself in her place.
433
00:30:42,006 --> 00:30:45,669
Why, you'd be just palpitating to talk to me.
Are you palpitating, Judy?
434
00:30:45,743 --> 00:30:48,405
- Not so you could notice it.
- Well, there's your answer.
435
00:30:48,479 --> 00:30:52,108
Fred, please.
I'll be with you in a moment.
436
00:30:52,183 --> 00:30:55,880
- Well, what do you want?
- I want to get this whole mess straightened out, Judy.
437
00:30:55,954 --> 00:30:57,945
You've been dodging me
for a week now.
438
00:30:58,022 --> 00:31:01,082
I don't intend to stand here
and let you insult me.
439
00:31:01,159 --> 00:31:04,128
What if I did print an editorial calling
your Aunt Hester a museum piece?
440
00:31:04,195 --> 00:31:07,562
She is a museum piece. But what I say
about her, no matter what it is...
441
00:31:07,632 --> 00:31:09,759
shouldn't make any difference
between you and me.
442
00:31:09,834 --> 00:31:12,962
Look, Mike, what you said about
my Aunt Hester is only part of it.
443
00:31:13,037 --> 00:31:15,699
It's everything you've been doing
since you took over your father's paper.
444
00:31:15,773 --> 00:31:19,265
- Now wait a minute.
- Oh, I know. You had to print what you pleased.
445
00:31:19,344 --> 00:31:23,610
Save the town from stagnation.
You wouldn't settle down like a normal person.
446
00:31:23,681 --> 00:31:26,946
- No, not you.
- That's not you talking, Judy. That's your Aunt Hester.
447
00:31:27,018 --> 00:31:29,248
Would you like me to elucidate,
young man?
448
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:32,153
I don't think it'll be necessary,
Aunt Hester.
449
00:31:34,726 --> 00:31:36,956
- Good evening, ladies.
- Good evening.
450
00:31:37,028 --> 00:31:40,088
- Shall we go in, Judith?
- I think we'd better find our seats.
451
00:31:40,164 --> 00:31:42,155
Will you excuse us?
452
00:31:44,202 --> 00:31:46,227
What a shame.
453
00:31:46,304 --> 00:31:49,068
Yeah, the plot's all twisted.
Girl gets wrong boy.
454
00:31:49,140 --> 00:31:52,906
- You'll have to fix that up, Dad.
- If you ask me, that girl could use some good advice.
455
00:31:52,977 --> 00:31:55,741
- You said it.
- Just who, may I ask, could use some good advice?
456
00:31:55,813 --> 00:31:59,078
- I was speaking about a cousin of mine from-
- A cousin we have in Topeka.
457
00:31:59,150 --> 00:32:01,141
He had some trouble
with his mother-in-law.
458
00:32:01,219 --> 00:32:03,449
She must've been weaned on a pickle.
459
00:32:03,521 --> 00:32:06,354
- Come on, Dad. It's town hall tonight!
- Come on. Let's go in.
460
00:32:06,424 --> 00:32:09,916
There seems to be
so much gloom around here.
461
00:32:09,994 --> 00:32:13,691
You don't know enough
to pound sand down a rat hole!
462
00:32:13,765 --> 00:32:17,098
Maybe so. But I know enough
to stop talking once in a while!
463
00:32:17,168 --> 00:32:20,262
Stop your squabbling, Sam.
464
00:32:20,338 --> 00:32:25,105
A man's a right to speak his mind here whether
you agree with him or not. Go ahead, Pete.
465
00:32:25,176 --> 00:32:28,942
This bridge has gotta be repaired
before she collapses.
466
00:32:29,013 --> 00:32:33,211
- How much will it cost?
- Mr. Baldwin calculates it'll cost about $50.
467
00:32:33,284 --> 00:32:35,878
Then I say wait till she collapses!
468
00:32:35,954 --> 00:32:40,823
That fellow's wrong. It'll cost less to repair
the bridge than it would to build a new one.
469
00:32:40,892 --> 00:32:43,952
Sure, Dad. You've got opinions.
Why don't you say something?
470
00:32:44,028 --> 00:32:47,020
Anybody got any more
to say about the proposition?
471
00:32:47,098 --> 00:32:49,123
- Go on, Joe.
- Go on, Dad.
472
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:53,193
All right then. Matter's deferred till next year.
473
00:32:53,271 --> 00:32:56,468
Well, I guess that finishes the agenda.
474
00:32:58,142 --> 00:33:01,043
Yes, that finishes the agenda.
475
00:33:01,112 --> 00:33:04,081
Now if someone will move
to adjourn the town hall-
476
00:33:04,148 --> 00:33:06,309
- Mr. Moderator?
- Yeah, Mr. Shea?
477
00:33:06,384 --> 00:33:09,842
Folks, you know I couldn't let a meeting
go by without reminding you...
478
00:33:09,921 --> 00:33:13,049
that there are still a few young people
living in Stonefield.
479
00:33:13,124 --> 00:33:15,217
Or should I say vegetating?
480
00:33:15,293 --> 00:33:18,057
Yeah, and most of'em
ain't dry behind the ears yet.
481
00:33:18,129 --> 00:33:21,394
Maybe so. But we don't claim
to be suffering from dry rot.
482
00:33:21,466 --> 00:33:23,991
But we figure that's what ails Stonefield.
483
00:33:24,068 --> 00:33:27,697
Fellow citizens, we've got a real
progressive program for our town...
484
00:33:27,772 --> 00:33:30,741
and it won't cost a great deal of money
to put it into effect.
485
00:33:30,808 --> 00:33:35,245
Seems that bein' progressive and spendin'
other people's money amounts to the same thing.
486
00:33:35,313 --> 00:33:38,373
Now I'll tell you what's keeping us broke.
487
00:33:38,449 --> 00:33:42,749
Tradition. You're all afraid to do anything
any differently than your grandfathers did it.
488
00:33:42,820 --> 00:33:45,220
What's wrong with the way they did it?
489
00:33:45,289 --> 00:33:48,258
Nothing. Only they did it
in another century.
490
00:33:48,326 --> 00:33:51,454
Now I respect tradition
as much as the next man...
491
00:33:51,529 --> 00:33:54,430
but I don't respect it
when it stands in the way of progress.
492
00:33:54,499 --> 00:33:57,024
Now let's get wise to ourselves.
493
00:33:57,101 --> 00:34:00,036
Let's realize that we're not living
on a desert island...
494
00:34:00,104 --> 00:34:03,972
but right spang within the borders
of a big, lively, up-and-coming nation...
495
00:34:04,042 --> 00:34:06,510
the United States.
496
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:11,280
We've heard all this before, Mr. Shea.
497
00:34:11,349 --> 00:34:14,750
Well, anyway, for the record,
I want to propose our usual resolution-
498
00:34:14,819 --> 00:34:18,880
that a board be appointed, no member
of which may be over 30 years of age...
499
00:34:18,956 --> 00:34:22,790
to promote Stonefield as a tourist center,
to attract new industries here...
500
00:34:22,860 --> 00:34:27,957
and to make our town a more prosperous
and progressive place in which to live.
501
00:34:34,238 --> 00:34:38,299
- Terrific idea there, kid.
- Thanks, but we haven't got a chance.
502
00:34:38,376 --> 00:34:41,504
- Mr. Moderator?
- Miss Appleby?
503
00:34:41,579 --> 00:34:43,638
- Who is she?
- A schoolteacher.
504
00:34:43,714 --> 00:34:46,512
Taught everybody here,
and she's still teaching 'em.
505
00:34:46,584 --> 00:34:49,246
I think it's about time
to put a stop to all this nonsense.
506
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:52,448
Ever since my forefather, Caleb Appleby,
founded Stonefield...
507
00:34:52,523 --> 00:34:56,459
in the dear, dead, sacrificial days
before the Revolutionary War...
508
00:34:56,527 --> 00:34:59,257
and down through the decades
of American progression...
509
00:34:59,330 --> 00:35:03,289
we've managed to get along very nicely
without factories or tourists...
510
00:35:03,367 --> 00:35:05,767
even without Michael Shea.
511
00:35:05,837 --> 00:35:10,035
However, since Michael
and his supporters were once my pupils...
512
00:35:10,108 --> 00:35:14,306
I still cannot help but feel a certain
responsibility for them.
513
00:35:14,378 --> 00:35:19,475
So, before their harebrained schemes to
get rich quick lead them into serious trouble...
514
00:35:19,550 --> 00:35:23,680
I should like to remind them of the
fundamentals they were taught at school.
515
00:35:23,754 --> 00:35:27,212
There's only one road to prosperity,
and that's the rocky one.
516
00:35:27,291 --> 00:35:30,783
Hard work, diligence and thrift.
517
00:35:33,231 --> 00:35:35,222
Thank you, Miss Appleby.
518
00:35:35,299 --> 00:35:37,529
And now to dispense with the matter.
519
00:35:37,602 --> 00:35:40,469
Mr. Moderator?
520
00:35:40,538 --> 00:35:43,405
Yeah? Mr., uh-
521
00:35:43,474 --> 00:35:46,807
Ballantine. Joe Ballantine. You know.
522
00:35:46,878 --> 00:35:49,176
Dad, give 'em the old cannibal act.
523
00:35:49,247 --> 00:35:52,307
Oh, yes. Gettin' up here tonight-
it's my first night in town-
524
00:35:52,383 --> 00:35:54,851
it kinda makes me feel
like the vegetarian...
525
00:35:54,919 --> 00:35:58,377
that was addressing a bunch of cannibals
that was having him for dinner.
526
00:36:01,492 --> 00:36:05,690
But don't get me wrong, folks.
I'm- I like this town very much...
527
00:36:05,763 --> 00:36:09,699
and I'm really proud and happy
to be a member of your little community.
528
00:36:09,767 --> 00:36:11,758
But the trouble with all you people is-
529
00:36:11,836 --> 00:36:14,737
well, you're still living
in the horse and carriage age.
530
00:36:14,805 --> 00:36:18,502
You go back so far that you think the young
people should be seen and not heard.
531
00:36:18,576 --> 00:36:22,342
That's where you're wrong.
The young people have the bright ideas.
532
00:36:22,413 --> 00:36:27,214
Uh, when young Shea here said that this town
needed waking up, he punched it right on the nose.
533
00:36:27,285 --> 00:36:31,244
Yes, sir. We oughta give
this town a shot in the arm...
534
00:36:31,322 --> 00:36:34,018
put a new coat of paint on it.
535
00:36:34,091 --> 00:36:37,788
- Uh-
- Shoulder to the wheel.
536
00:36:37,862 --> 00:36:40,558
Oh, if we plunge in
and put our shoulders to the wheel...
537
00:36:40,631 --> 00:36:43,532
we'll have people flocking in here
from every state in the Union.
538
00:36:43,601 --> 00:36:46,434
- Standing room only.
- Yes, there'll be standing room only.
539
00:36:46,504 --> 00:36:48,938
By that I mean
that the hotels'll be crowded...
540
00:36:49,006 --> 00:36:51,236
the stores'll be doing
a land office business...
541
00:36:51,309 --> 00:36:54,904
the real estate'll be booming, and, well,
the young folks'll have a chance.
542
00:36:54,979 --> 00:36:58,312
I want you all to know
that we're here to do that very thing.
543
00:36:58,382 --> 00:37:02,284
Yes, sir, you can always call on
The Three Ballantines. We're at your service.
544
00:37:02,353 --> 00:37:06,983
Folks, let us help you use showmanship.
Let us help you bring happiness to the old town.
545
00:37:07,058 --> 00:37:10,118
- Hit it, Dad.
- And I want to tell you that before we're through...
546
00:37:10,194 --> 00:37:12,924
why, we'll turn Stonefield
into a hustling metropolis.
547
00:37:12,997 --> 00:37:16,797
And what I wanna know, folks-
Are you with me?
548
00:37:18,803 --> 00:37:21,203
Thank you. Thank you very much.
549
00:37:24,008 --> 00:37:27,808
- Gee, Dad, that was just like a fireside chat.
- You weren't so bad yourself.
550
00:37:27,878 --> 00:37:31,974
- Mr. Moderator?
- Mr. Dakin?
551
00:37:32,049 --> 00:37:35,314
I reckon Stonefield is lucky...
552
00:37:35,386 --> 00:37:39,117
mighty lucky to have a man
like Mr. Ballantine for a citizen.
553
00:37:39,190 --> 00:37:43,286
It isn't often a stranger can come along
and show folks in a couple of minutes...
554
00:37:43,361 --> 00:37:46,330
how they've been wrong for 150 years.
555
00:37:46,397 --> 00:37:49,525
I think we ought to thank
Mr. Ballantine...
556
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:54,970
for giving us a shot in the arm,
if you know what I mean.
557
00:37:55,039 --> 00:37:58,634
So I think it's only fittin'
that we appoint Mr. Ballantine...
558
00:37:58,709 --> 00:38:01,371
a one-man chamber of commerce...
559
00:38:01,445 --> 00:38:05,211
to investigate conditions
and report to us.
560
00:38:09,754 --> 00:38:15,056
- Folks, I never dreamed-
- Hey, they don't know they're being ribbed.
561
00:38:15,126 --> 00:38:19,495
I want to assure you that-
well, this is a great thrill for me.
562
00:38:19,563 --> 00:38:22,555
This is a greater thrill to me
than when I played the Palace...
563
00:38:22,633 --> 00:38:25,067
for the first time
in New York City, New York.
564
00:38:25,136 --> 00:38:27,900
Oh, yes. I want you all to know
that I'm your friend.
565
00:38:27,972 --> 00:38:31,703
When you bump into me on the street, I want
you to say, "Hello, Joe. What do you know?"
566
00:38:32,143 --> 00:38:35,510
Ah, Kit, honey, this is it.
Everything we ever dreamed of.
567
00:38:35,579 --> 00:38:39,913
Just think, Joe- a kid of ours growing up like
this, not having to go through what we did.
568
00:38:39,984 --> 00:38:43,545
She'll know everybody, marry
a nice young fellow in town-
569
00:38:43,621 --> 00:38:45,987
maybe the banker's son-
570
00:38:46,057 --> 00:38:48,491
and when she has kids,
they'll grow up here...
571
00:38:48,559 --> 00:38:51,084
get married... maybe.
572
00:38:51,162 --> 00:38:53,187
What do you mean, "maybe"?
573
00:38:53,264 --> 00:38:56,529
I don't know. I guess
I'm just an old sourpuss. That's all.
574
00:38:56,600 --> 00:39:00,092
Don't you think I'm a little young
to be considering getting married?
575
00:39:00,171 --> 00:39:02,196
Here. You're supposed to be asleep.
576
00:39:02,273 --> 00:39:04,503
I know.
You just want to get rid of me.
577
00:39:04,575 --> 00:39:06,566
Selling me off to the first bidder.
578
00:39:06,644 --> 00:39:09,511
Honey, there ain't enough money
in the whole world to buy you.
579
00:39:09,580 --> 00:39:13,380
- Sounds like a song cue.
- Well, not to disappoint you, I think I'll sing.
580
00:39:13,451 --> 00:39:17,217
# I wouldn't take a million #
581
00:39:17,288 --> 00:39:21,281
# For a girl like you #
582
00:39:21,359 --> 00:39:25,625
# I wouldn't take a million #
583
00:39:25,696 --> 00:39:30,463
# For the things you do #
584
00:39:30,534 --> 00:39:34,732
# If they offered me a mansion #
585
00:39:34,805 --> 00:39:38,901
# In the finest part of town #
586
00:39:38,976 --> 00:39:43,072
# If you were not in that mansion #
587
00:39:43,147 --> 00:39:48,449
#Then I would turn it down #
588
00:39:49,653 --> 00:39:52,554
# I wouldn't take a million #
589
00:39:52,623 --> 00:39:56,821
# For the twinkle in your eyes #
590
00:39:56,894 --> 00:40:00,386
# I'd rather win a smile from you #
591
00:40:00,464 --> 00:40:05,163
#Than win the Nobel Prize #
592
00:40:05,236 --> 00:40:08,103
# If I were just a pauper #
593
00:40:08,172 --> 00:40:13,633
#And I didn't have a sou #
594
00:40:13,711 --> 00:40:17,670
# I still would have a million #
595
00:40:17,748 --> 00:40:20,410
# If I just #
596
00:40:20,484 --> 00:40:23,942
# Had #
597
00:40:24,021 --> 00:40:26,751
#You ##
598
00:40:28,893 --> 00:40:32,056
That's what you get for trying to sing a ballad.
599
00:40:34,331 --> 00:40:36,322
Lucas. Hello, Daniel. Hi.
600
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:38,834
- Hello, folks.
- Oh, look. There's Mrs. Hubbard.
601
00:40:38,903 --> 00:40:40,928
Whoo-hoo.
602
00:40:41,005 --> 00:40:43,337
Looks like no one stays home
on Saturday afternoons.
603
00:40:43,407 --> 00:40:45,637
- Mm-hmm.
- Hello, Mr. Stolbanger.
604
00:40:45,709 --> 00:40:48,371
Not bad, eh? We've been in town
a month. We know everybody.
605
00:40:48,446 --> 00:40:50,505
That's so, Dad. We're irresistible.
606
00:40:50,581 --> 00:40:53,448
- Oh, Joe, do I look all right?
- Honey, you never looked better.
607
00:40:53,517 --> 00:40:55,644
Listen. When that ladies' auxiliary
get a load of you...
608
00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:57,880
they're gonna do nip-ups
all over that church.
609
00:40:57,955 --> 00:41:00,116
Well, listen. You run along.
I'll see you later, honey.
610
00:41:00,191 --> 00:41:02,182
- Hey.
- What?
611
00:41:02,259 --> 00:41:04,557
Wish me luck.
612
00:41:05,863 --> 00:41:08,161
- Here comes Ballantine now.
- Hello, fellas.
613
00:41:08,232 --> 00:41:11,690
Well, now. Any news, neighbor?
How's the chamber of commerce doin'?
614
00:41:11,769 --> 00:41:13,896
I can't wait to tell you about it.
I, uh-
615
00:41:13,971 --> 00:41:16,496
I wouldn't pass it up
for a stack of greenbacks.
616
00:41:16,574 --> 00:41:18,371
- Hello, Mike, my lad.
- Hello, Joe.
617
00:41:18,442 --> 00:41:20,239
My, you're just the one I'm lookin' for.
618
00:41:20,311 --> 00:41:22,404
Wanna tell you I got
the Ballantine Plan all set up...
619
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:24,505
and ready for the next edition
of your paper.
620
00:41:24,582 --> 00:41:27,346
- It's gonna rock this town like T.N.T.
- That's swell, Mr. Ballantine.
621
00:41:27,418 --> 00:41:31,252
Be the biggest news
the Democrat ever printed.
622
00:41:31,322 --> 00:41:34,155
Yeah, did you tell Dakin that horse
he sold you had the heaves?
623
00:41:34,225 --> 00:41:36,216
Oh, the horse didn't have the heaves.
624
00:41:36,293 --> 00:41:38,887
That's just a bad cold. That's all.
She'll be all right.
625
00:41:38,963 --> 00:41:41,557
We got more important things
to talk about than a horse.
626
00:41:41,632 --> 00:41:45,261
Say, did you sell him
that broken-down nag?
627
00:41:45,336 --> 00:41:47,395
I wouldn't talk if I were you...
628
00:41:47,471 --> 00:41:49,530
not after the way you took him...
629
00:41:49,607 --> 00:41:51,700
with that rock crusher
that wouldn't crack a peanut.
630
00:41:58,582 --> 00:42:02,040
And then- Last year she had
the measles.
631
00:42:02,119 --> 00:42:04,110
Now she's had everything
except the mumps.
632
00:42:04,188 --> 00:42:07,089
- It's my opinion that-
- Wendy had the mumps in Denver two years ago.
633
00:42:07,157 --> 00:42:09,182
We were playing a split week there.
634
00:42:09,260 --> 00:42:11,353
Oh, but strictly the big time,
you understand.
635
00:42:11,428 --> 00:42:13,589
Joe always saw to that.
636
00:42:13,664 --> 00:42:18,397
He used to tell the agent, "Don't bother me
with none of your small-time bookings.
637
00:42:18,469 --> 00:42:20,960
It's nothin' but the best for the Ballantines."
638
00:42:21,038 --> 00:42:24,064
- And it always was.
- I'm sure it was.
639
00:42:24,141 --> 00:42:27,042
Oh, maybe I talk too much
for a new member.
640
00:42:27,111 --> 00:42:30,308
Oh, no.
Most interesting, I assure you.
641
00:42:30,381 --> 00:42:32,542
As I was going to say...
642
00:42:32,616 --> 00:42:35,585
it's my opinion that all epidemics
come from the city.
643
00:42:35,653 --> 00:42:38,713
Nothing happens to Sarah except when
she's been to visit her cousin in the city.
644
00:42:38,789 --> 00:42:41,553
Well, that's something else
forJoe to worry about.
645
00:42:41,625 --> 00:42:45,061
- Joe?
- You see, the whole point of his plan-
646
00:42:45,129 --> 00:42:47,825
He calls it "the Ballantine Plan"-
647
00:42:47,898 --> 00:42:50,492
is to attract city people here,
you know, with fairs...
648
00:42:50,568 --> 00:42:53,799
and ski carnivals and
an apple blossom festival in the spring.
649
00:42:53,871 --> 00:42:57,170
Oh, how exciting.
650
00:42:57,241 --> 00:43:00,335
Your husband's quite a man, Mrs. Ballantine.
How did you happen to marry him?
651
00:43:00,411 --> 00:43:03,869
Well, I tell him that I must
have been under an anesthetic.
652
00:43:06,050 --> 00:43:10,487
But between us girls,
oh, I fell for him like that.
653
00:43:10,554 --> 00:43:12,579
- Uh-
- Oh, dear.
654
00:43:12,656 --> 00:43:15,352
Thank you. He was hoofing then,
on the Gaiety Wheel.
655
00:43:15,426 --> 00:43:18,361
And I was in the chorus-
You know, third from the end.
656
00:43:18,429 --> 00:43:20,761
They picked me out to do
a specialty with him.
657
00:43:20,831 --> 00:43:22,822
Well-
658
00:43:22,900 --> 00:43:24,959
The routine called for a split.
659
00:43:25,035 --> 00:43:27,868
I did a split, all right...
660
00:43:27,938 --> 00:43:31,305
and so did my tights-
right up the back.
661
00:43:31,375 --> 00:43:33,434
Oh, you should have been there.
662
00:43:33,510 --> 00:43:35,842
- It was something, really.
- Why!
663
00:43:35,913 --> 00:43:39,007
Oh, dear. Well, I got off the stage, all right.
I don't know how.
664
00:43:39,083 --> 00:43:43,884
And somehow- I don't know.
The next week we were married- and broke.
665
00:43:43,954 --> 00:43:47,515
But when you're crazy about a man,
money doesn't make any difference.
666
00:43:47,591 --> 00:43:49,991
Nothing does, does it?
667
00:43:50,060 --> 00:43:52,187
And do you feel, Mrs. Ballantine...
668
00:43:52,262 --> 00:43:54,628
that your own experience qualifies you
as an expert on marriage?
669
00:43:54,698 --> 00:43:57,690
I wouldn't go as far as to say that,
but one thing I know-
670
00:43:57,768 --> 00:43:59,827
A girl shouldn't let
a good chance go by.
671
00:43:59,903 --> 00:44:02,303
They only come once in a lifetime.
672
00:44:02,373 --> 00:44:05,137
I always say that men are like ships
that pass in the night.
673
00:44:05,209 --> 00:44:08,736
If a young girl isn't careful, she's liable
to miss the boat, and then where is she?
674
00:44:08,812 --> 00:44:11,906
Where is she? Left on the docks
with the other old maids.
675
00:44:11,982 --> 00:44:15,179
Oh, no offense, Miss Appleby.
676
00:44:15,252 --> 00:44:17,812
Oh, uh, we were talking about germs,
weren't we?
677
00:44:17,888 --> 00:44:21,153
Yes, if I may be permitted
to say, epidemics-
678
00:44:21,225 --> 00:44:23,386
Well, Mom, did you have a good time?
679
00:44:23,460 --> 00:44:25,485
Grand. Girls, it was simply delightful.
680
00:44:25,562 --> 00:44:27,553
What will be the subject next week?
681
00:44:27,631 --> 00:44:29,861
I'm sure you'll be able to decide that.
682
00:44:29,933 --> 00:44:32,333
- Oh, do you mean it's Mom's turn?
- Yes, it is, Wendy.
683
00:44:32,403 --> 00:44:34,428
Oh, thank you.
684
00:44:41,145 --> 00:44:43,943
- Hello, Kit.
- Judy, you two know each other, don't you?
685
00:44:44,014 --> 00:44:46,414
Oh, why don't you kids
kiss and make up, huh?
686
00:44:46,483 --> 00:44:48,951
Remember what I told you, Judy,
about missing the boat.
687
00:44:49,019 --> 00:44:51,715
Too bad Wendy isn't a few years older.
She'd grab Mike herself.
688
00:44:51,789 --> 00:44:54,257
That would gum the plot all up,
wouldn't it, Dad?
689
00:44:54,324 --> 00:44:56,918
Uh-oh. Uh, hello, Miss Appleby.
690
00:44:56,994 --> 00:44:59,861
Well. Mr. Ballantine and little Wendy.
691
00:44:59,930 --> 00:45:02,228
- We were just telling Mike and Judy-
- Yes, I heard.
692
00:45:02,299 --> 00:45:06,030
- We better be gettin' along.
- Might I suggest that the way to get along in Stonefield...
693
00:45:06,103 --> 00:45:08,298
is to keep one's nose
out of other people's affairs.
694
00:45:08,372 --> 00:45:10,363
Come along, Judith.
695
00:45:13,310 --> 00:45:15,369
Well, thanks for
the good intentions, anyway.
696
00:45:15,446 --> 00:45:17,573
Yes, there's a well-known place
that's paved with them.
697
00:45:17,648 --> 00:45:19,639
Well, let's get goin'.
698
00:45:19,717 --> 00:45:21,810
- Your pop.
- Never misses a prop.
699
00:45:21,885 --> 00:45:25,343
I walk into a tree.
How do you like that?
700
00:45:35,566 --> 00:45:38,831
# Flow gently, sweet Afton #
701
00:45:38,902 --> 00:45:42,133
#Among thy green braes #
702
00:45:42,206 --> 00:45:45,107
# Flow gently, I'll sing thee #
703
00:45:45,175 --> 00:45:48,235
#A song in thy praise #
704
00:45:48,312 --> 00:45:51,076
# My Mary's asleep #
705
00:45:51,148 --> 00:45:54,811
� By the murmuring stream�
706
00:45:54,885 --> 00:45:59,913
� Flow gently, sweet Afton�
707
00:45:59,990 --> 00:46:03,687
# Disturb not her dream #
708
00:46:03,761 --> 00:46:06,787
� T hou dove whose soft echo �
709
00:46:06,864 --> 00:46:09,458
- � R esounds thro'the glen �
- If they go for this corny routine...
710
00:46:09,533 --> 00:46:12,661
wait'll they get a load of what
Wendy's dished up for 'em.
711
00:46:12,736 --> 00:46:14,931
- It'll lay 'em in the aisle.
- Shh!
712
00:46:15,005 --> 00:46:16,996
I hope.
713
00:46:18,609 --> 00:46:21,874
#You wild whistling warblers #
714
00:46:21,945 --> 00:46:25,437
#Your music forbear #
715
00:46:25,516 --> 00:46:30,044
I've hated this song ever since Hester
drummed it into me 10 years ago.
716
00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:35,057
# My slumbering fair ##
717
00:46:35,125 --> 00:46:38,856
Right face. Forward march.
718
00:46:38,929 --> 00:46:42,695
One, two, one, two, one, two, one, two-
719
00:46:56,380 --> 00:46:58,848
- �
- Thank you.
720
00:46:59,049 --> 00:47:02,041
As you all know, I have always
been particularly insistent...
721
00:47:02,119 --> 00:47:04,212
that those children so inclined...
722
00:47:04,288 --> 00:47:06,654
be given free rein
to express their talents.
723
00:47:06,723 --> 00:47:09,988
So in a few moments we shall present
this year's entertainment...
724
00:47:10,060 --> 00:47:14,724
under the personal supervision
of Mary Ann Parker.
725
00:47:14,798 --> 00:47:16,823
Oh, Wendy, you look scrumptious.
726
00:47:16,900 --> 00:47:18,891
- I never saw you look so nice.
- Thank you.
727
00:47:18,969 --> 00:47:22,598
- Do you think this safety pin will show, Evelyn?
- No, I don't think so.
728
00:47:22,673 --> 00:47:25,608
Hope my pa don't get mad at me
'cause I took his pants-
729
00:47:25,676 --> 00:47:27,940
- Especially his new ones.
- Don't worry, Jerry.
730
00:47:28,011 --> 00:47:31,640
Just be sure you don't lose 'em.
Come here, kids.
731
00:47:33,517 --> 00:47:35,576
You see, Joe?
We don't need to worry.
732
00:47:35,652 --> 00:47:37,779
- The show is in good hands.
- Look-
733
00:47:37,855 --> 00:47:39,880
There's no reason to be scared.
734
00:47:39,957 --> 00:47:43,290
You'll love going out on the stage,
and there's nothing to worry about...
735
00:47:43,360 --> 00:47:45,555
because they're all there to like you.
736
00:47:45,629 --> 00:47:49,190
And when they do like you,
a tingle goes up and down your spine...
737
00:47:49,266 --> 00:47:51,530
like you never felt before, and-
738
00:47:51,602 --> 00:47:54,264
Oh, well, it's just the biggest thrill
in the whole world.
739
00:47:54,338 --> 00:47:56,704
All right, kids. That's all.
740
00:47:56,773 --> 00:48:00,265
Now let's go out there
and wow them.
741
00:48:03,780 --> 00:48:06,078
Mary Ann, what does this mean?
742
00:48:06,149 --> 00:48:09,414
Miss Appleby!
We wanted to surprise you.
743
00:48:09,486 --> 00:48:11,477
You most certainly have.
744
00:48:11,555 --> 00:48:13,614
What are you doing in this-
this getup?
745
00:48:13,690 --> 00:48:16,090
- It's for the vaudeville show.
- Vaudeville show?
746
00:48:16,159 --> 00:48:19,492
- It was all Wendy's idea, Miss Appleby.
- I'm sure it was.
747
00:48:19,563 --> 00:48:21,929
And her mother's
and father's too, I presume.
748
00:48:21,999 --> 00:48:25,457
You'll like it, Miss Appleby. Honestly,
you will-And so will the audience.
749
00:48:25,535 --> 00:48:29,232
We're using all the surefire routines.
Mom and Dad thought of that.
750
00:48:29,306 --> 00:48:33,402
Well, I think I must thank you for all
the trouble you've gone to with my pupils.
751
00:48:33,477 --> 00:48:36,275
- Oh, it wasn't anything.
- After all, with our experience...
752
00:48:36,346 --> 00:48:38,473
it was only natural
for us to lend a hand.
753
00:48:38,548 --> 00:48:41,574
And wait till you see the show,
Miss Appleby. It's terrific.
754
00:48:41,652 --> 00:48:43,643
Why, I'm positive
it'll tear the house down.
755
00:48:43,720 --> 00:48:46,188
I suppose you're equally positive
that the people of this town...
756
00:48:46,256 --> 00:48:48,918
were serious when they made you
chamber of commerce.
757
00:48:48,992 --> 00:48:51,756
- What are you driving at?
- Just this, Mr. Ballantine.
758
00:48:51,828 --> 00:48:55,628
Your whole existence in this town
has been one big joke.
759
00:48:55,699 --> 00:48:57,690
Many people have found your efforts...
760
00:48:57,768 --> 00:49:00,259
to run this town and everyone in it
exceedingly funny.
761
00:49:00,337 --> 00:49:03,932
But there's a climax to every joke,
and you've reached it.
762
00:49:04,007 --> 00:49:06,100
Well, of all the nerve.
763
00:49:06,176 --> 00:49:08,508
Miss Appleby, I've been
in show business for over 20 years.
764
00:49:08,578 --> 00:49:11,046
In that time I've bumped
into a lot of sour grapes...
765
00:49:11,114 --> 00:49:13,173
but really you take the cake.
766
00:49:13,250 --> 00:49:16,481
Sure. She's down on us because you
stole her thunder at the town meeting.
767
00:49:16,553 --> 00:49:20,455
- Why, that's ridiculous.
- Oh, no, it isn't.
768
00:49:20,524 --> 00:49:23,049
You're losing your grip on this town,
Hester, and you know it.
769
00:49:23,126 --> 00:49:27,222
You don't want this show to go on because
you know that we're gonna get the credit.
770
00:49:27,297 --> 00:49:29,356
I'm sorry for you, Hester, really sorry.
771
00:49:29,433 --> 00:49:32,800
Mary Ann, you may start the performance
as soon as I finish my announcement.
772
00:49:32,869 --> 00:49:36,396
And I'll see to it that you get
all the credit that you deserve.
773
00:49:36,473 --> 00:49:41,376
Oh, shut your blubbering, you big crybaby.
774
00:49:41,445 --> 00:49:44,005
Now let's go out there and show 'em.
775
00:49:44,081 --> 00:49:46,606
- That's a girl.
- That's it, kids. You go out there.
776
00:49:49,086 --> 00:49:51,145
I have a little surprise for you.
777
00:49:51,221 --> 00:49:54,315
I have just discovered that this year,
rather than the children...
778
00:49:54,391 --> 00:49:57,258
Mr. And Mrs. Ballantine
and their daughter, Wendy...
779
00:49:57,327 --> 00:49:59,761
have assumed charge
of the second part of our recital...
780
00:49:59,830 --> 00:50:03,197
and are entirely responsible
for what you are about to see.
781
00:50:03,266 --> 00:50:06,201
I am sure you will fully appreciate
this small sample...
782
00:50:06,269 --> 00:50:09,727
of what our new friends are capable
of doing for Stonefield.
783
00:50:14,111 --> 00:50:16,136
Very good.
784
00:50:24,621 --> 00:50:28,455
- #We're not little babies anymore #
- No!
785
00:50:28,525 --> 00:50:32,393
- #We don't play with dollies on the floor #
- Nah!
786
00:50:32,462 --> 00:50:35,590
#We know how to act our age #
787
00:50:35,665 --> 00:50:39,226
#We have passed the infant stage #
788
00:50:39,302 --> 00:50:43,295
#That's why we are in a rage #
789
00:50:43,373 --> 00:50:46,536
- #We're not little babies anymore #
- � More �
790
00:50:46,610 --> 00:50:50,603
- #We think children are an awful bore #
- � Bore �
791
00:50:50,680 --> 00:50:53,740
#You don't realize the fact
that we are growing up #
792
00:50:53,817 --> 00:50:56,980
#And we're not little babies anymore #
793
00:50:57,054 --> 00:50:59,318
#We're young people #
794
00:50:59,389 --> 00:51:01,414
#We are young people #
795
00:51:01,491 --> 00:51:04,927
# Ready to have our dream #
796
00:51:04,995 --> 00:51:08,556
#We're not old yet
We're just in between #
797
00:51:08,632 --> 00:51:12,227
#We're nine and we're 10
Well, that's almost 16 #
798
00:51:12,302 --> 00:51:15,965
- #We're young ladies #
- #And we're their boyfriends #
799
00:51:16,039 --> 00:51:19,770
#And love is a wonderful thing #
800
00:51:19,843 --> 00:51:23,142
# Please don't call me sonny
It makes me blush #
801
00:51:23,213 --> 00:51:26,979
# Stop that baby talk
That "umsie-wumsie" mush #
802
00:51:27,050 --> 00:51:30,577
#The days of bibs and teddy bears

805

# Life's a stage
and we are in the show #
806
00:51:42,532 --> 00:51:45,797
#We know everything
there is to know #
807

#When we're in the parlor
and the lights are low #

# Don't bribe us with a nickel
We refuse to go #

# Sisters, better tell
your romantic gents #
810

#We have a minimum number charge

#We hate to hear a fairy tale

#We'd rather have you telling us
what Walter Winchell said #
813

#We know our table manners

- Did you know that my boy was going to do this?
816
00:52:20,137 --> 00:52:22,367
Mr. And Mrs. Ballantine.
817
00:52:59,109 --> 00:53:01,100
Tommy Stinchfield!
818
00:53:01,178 --> 00:53:04,341
Stop that disgraceful exhibition at once
and come down here.
819
00:53:04,414 --> 00:53:07,508
�
820
00:53:14,691 --> 00:53:17,683
My new pants-
Wait till I get you home, young man.
821
00:53:17,761 --> 00:53:20,696
- Oh, poor Wendy.
- What's the matter?
822
00:53:56,466 --> 00:53:58,934
Oh, Wendy, that's all right, honey.
823
00:53:59,002 --> 00:54:01,300
It was my fault. All my fault.
824
00:54:01,371 --> 00:54:03,464
Wasn't your fault, honey.
It wasn't your fault.
825
00:54:03,540 --> 00:54:06,771
It's their fault.
They're small- small people.
826
00:54:06,843 --> 00:54:10,301
So. You were positive your show
would tear the house down.
827
00:54:10,380 --> 00:54:12,405
Buck up, Joey boy.
828
00:54:12,482 --> 00:54:15,246
You keep on pluggin' away,
and you'll be mayor of this town yet.
829
00:54:15,318 --> 00:54:17,843
Why, with that wife and kid or yours
out stumpin' for you...
830
00:54:17,921 --> 00:54:20,185
you'd be a lead-pipe cinch.
831
00:54:20,257 --> 00:54:22,657
Joe!
832
00:54:24,828 --> 00:54:27,126
All right, Joe.
He had it coming to him.
833
00:54:27,197 --> 00:54:29,665
Come on, Kit and Wendy.
Let's go home.
834
00:54:33,203 --> 00:54:35,603
You all right, Mr. Dakin?
835
00:54:37,374 --> 00:54:39,934
Now that that's settled,
I think we can get back to normal.
836
00:54:40,010 --> 00:54:42,501
Normal? Your idea of normal
is being mean and vindictive.
837
00:54:42,579 --> 00:54:44,604
You've hurt the nicest family
that's ever come here...
838
00:54:44,681 --> 00:54:47,445
and I wouldn't be like you
or the rest of your frozen-faced...
839
00:54:47,517 --> 00:54:49,508
- narrow-minded old-
- Oh, Mike!
840
00:54:49,586 --> 00:54:52,111
Listen, Judy, you wanted me to change,
but now it's your turn.
841
00:54:52,188 --> 00:54:54,281
If you ever make up your mind,
let me know.
842
00:55:11,608 --> 00:55:14,475
Einstein couldn't figure this thing out.
843
00:55:14,544 --> 00:55:16,978
Oh, and I wanted to hear
The Friendly Hour.
844
00:55:17,047 --> 00:55:19,982
It's a fine thing when you gotta
depend on a radio for friendship.
845
00:55:20,050 --> 00:55:24,544
We could use a little friendship around here,
no matter where it comes from.
846
00:55:24,621 --> 00:55:28,387
Aw, you're right, Kit.
But maybe it wasn't their fault.
847
00:55:28,458 --> 00:55:31,154
I guess we just looked like
queer fish to 'em. That's all.
848
00:55:31,227 --> 00:55:34,219
What a life. The most important
audience we ever played to...
849
00:55:34,297 --> 00:55:36,322
and the only one we couldn't crack.
850
00:55:36,399 --> 00:55:40,529
- What are you reading, honey?
- Variety.
851
00:55:40,603 --> 00:55:42,867
I'd nearly forgotten the language.
852
00:55:42,939 --> 00:55:46,807
"Broadway Does Flop-o as Biz Dives."
853
00:55:46,876 --> 00:55:51,836
Hmm. Dave and Fanny Chambers were on
a television program in Los Angeles last week.
854
00:55:51,915 --> 00:55:53,906
- So what?
- I can remember...
855
00:55:53,983 --> 00:55:56,645
when they were billed
under Costello's Trained Seals.
856
00:55:56,720 --> 00:55:58,711
She can remember.
857
00:55:58,788 --> 00:56:03,054
"Bob wows them in Cleveland.
Flicks legit takes back seat."
858
00:56:03,126 --> 00:56:05,822
Remember when we were held over
in Cleveland for three weeks?
859
00:56:05,895 --> 00:56:08,489
I was in school there for so long...
860
00:56:08,565 --> 00:56:10,760
they voted me most apt to succeed.
861
00:56:10,834 --> 00:56:13,598
And that night Dad
got so mad at you, Mom...
862
00:56:13,670 --> 00:56:18,004
he spoiled the finish just because
you bought that new dress.
863
00:56:18,074 --> 00:56:21,601
Spoiled the finish? Me? Kit was just
in a hurry to get off to try it on.
864
00:56:21,678 --> 00:56:23,908
Didn't have a chance.
You sent it back.
865
00:56:23,980 --> 00:56:27,108
- Did I?
- Remember this one, Dad?
866
00:56:27,183 --> 00:56:30,175
# Hop a bus, take a car
Hail a cab and there you are #
867
00:56:30,253 --> 00:56:32,551
# On Fifth Avenue ##
868
00:56:32,622 --> 00:56:35,022
What fun we used to have.
869
00:56:35,091 --> 00:56:39,960
Trains, hotels, dressing rooms,
the old gang-
870
00:56:40,029 --> 00:56:42,224
Mmm. Those were the days.
871
00:56:42,298 --> 00:56:44,789
Those were the days you wanted
the cows and the chickens.
872
00:56:45,935 --> 00:56:48,096
Well, that's the way it goes.
873
00:56:48,171 --> 00:56:50,731
You always want something
you haven't got...
874
00:56:50,807 --> 00:56:53,105
then after you get it,
you don't want it at all.
875
00:56:53,176 --> 00:56:56,111
So you want to go back.
876
00:56:56,179 --> 00:56:58,204
Sure, I want to go back.
877
00:56:58,281 --> 00:57:00,772
And I bet we'll be better than ever.
878
00:57:03,019 --> 00:57:05,214
Oh, you're still
a great little actress, honey.
879
00:57:05,288 --> 00:57:07,415
Your last speech proves that.
880
00:57:07,490 --> 00:57:10,459
- Well, let's start warming up right now.
- Yeah, come on, huh?
881
00:57:10,660 --> 00:57:12,594
Mom, let's make a clean entrance.
882
00:57:12,662 --> 00:57:14,994
- Okay, we'll pick it up where you come on.
- All right.
883
00:57:15,064 --> 00:57:17,089
When you do your specialty, give it to 'em.
884
00:57:17,167 --> 00:57:19,601
Remember? You never missed a tap.
I used to stand in the wings-
885
00:57:19,669 --> 00:57:21,660
Oh, this'll be swell here.
886
00:57:21,738 --> 00:57:23,763
This is a good stage. Now listen.
887
00:57:23,840 --> 00:57:26,070
Do your specialty.
888
00:57:26,142 --> 00:57:28,736
I probably forgot my part.
889
00:57:28,812 --> 00:57:31,178

890
00:57:31,247 --> 00:57:33,340

00:57:57,407 --> 00:57:59,875
#That's Fifth Avenue #
899
00:57:59,943 --> 00:58:02,776
#Where they stop, window shop #
900
00:58:02,846 --> 00:58:05,337
#And their hopes are so high #
901
00:58:05,415 --> 00:58:08,111
- # Pricing rings #
- # Pretty things #
902
00:58:08,184 --> 00:58:10,846
#That they can't afford to buy #
903
00:58:10,920 --> 00:58:12,979
# But they smile, they don't care #

00:58:13,056 --> 00:58:15,616
# Everyone's a millionaire #
905
00:58:15,692 --> 00:58:20,391
#When you're strolling
on Fifth Avenue ##
906
00:58:44,554 --> 00:58:46,920
Okay, that's enough, Wendy.
907
00:58:46,990 --> 00:58:50,187
Gee, it'll be great to get back
into the old routine again, won't it?
908
00:58:50,260 --> 00:58:52,592
- I can't wait.
- Neither can I.
909
00:58:52,662 --> 00:58:55,460
I'm gonna start packing right now.
910
00:59:00,003 --> 00:59:02,938
Aw, gee, Kit. Honey, don't, please.
911
00:59:03,006 --> 00:59:05,770
What do we care if a bunch
of hayseeds don't go for us?
912
00:59:05,842 --> 00:59:08,037
It's not for us I mind. It's for her.
913
00:59:08,111 --> 00:59:10,238
- After all we planned.
- Oh, don't worry about her.
914
00:59:10,313 --> 00:59:12,611
That kid's a trouper.
She'll get along all right.
915
00:59:12,682 --> 00:59:15,242
Anyway, we had no right
to keep her away from a career.
916
00:59:15,318 --> 00:59:17,786
She'll end up a star on Broadway.
917
00:59:17,854 --> 00:59:21,722
That's right, Joe.
Broadway, bright lights-A big star.
918
00:59:21,791 --> 00:59:24,021
That's for her.
919
00:59:31,034 --> 00:59:33,559
"Ballantines Quit Stonefield."
920
00:59:33,636 --> 00:59:36,605
- Well, what do you think of it, Eddie?
- It's a classic.
921
00:59:36,673 --> 00:59:40,439
And this stuff about- "With
the Ballantines goes the spirit of youth"...
922
00:59:40,510 --> 00:59:42,535
hits it right on the nose.
923
00:59:42,612 --> 00:59:45,080
There they are now.
924
00:59:45,148 --> 00:59:47,139
- Hello, Kit.
- Hello, boys. Hello.
925
00:59:47,216 --> 00:59:49,241
- Hello, Joe.
- Mike, Eddie, how are ya?
926
00:59:49,319 --> 00:59:51,310
We just stopped in to say good-bye.
927
00:59:51,387 --> 00:59:53,719
- Look at this, Joe.
- What?
928
00:59:53,790 --> 00:59:56,725
- Oh.
- You should feel highly honored.
929
00:59:56,793 --> 00:59:59,159
Only two extras have ever been
gotten out by the Democrat.
930
00:59:59,228 --> 01:00:02,061
One was when McKinley was shot,
and that's the other.
931
01:00:02,131 --> 01:00:05,999
- That's a great spread, Mike, even if it is for our exit.
- Thanks, Mike.
932
01:00:06,069 --> 01:00:09,903
This'll do a lot of explaining to the old gang
when they start ribbing us about coming back.
933
01:00:09,973 --> 01:00:12,737
That's just what Wendy said
when she came in to say good-bye.
934
01:00:12,809 --> 01:00:15,801
Tell me, Mike, how did she seem to feel?
You know, about going away.
935
01:00:15,878 --> 01:00:17,903
Wendy? Why, she was tickled pink.
936
01:00:17,981 --> 01:00:19,972
She-
937
01:00:25,688 --> 01:00:29,590
Better take it easy, Wendy.
This'll be your fourth.
938
01:00:29,659 --> 01:00:32,321
You sure are looking bluer
than a whetstone.
939
01:00:32,395 --> 01:00:35,489
Oh, it's just the rain, Otis.
940
01:00:35,565 --> 01:00:38,500
It certainly is beating down.
941
01:00:41,938 --> 01:00:45,169
Huh. You can always count
on these contraptions...
942
01:00:45,241 --> 01:00:47,505
to go blooey just as you need them.
943
01:00:47,577 --> 01:00:49,602
"Hurricane."
944
01:00:49,679 --> 01:00:52,512
Well, I know they're leaving today.
945
01:00:52,582 --> 01:00:56,279
Eddie said thatJeb's bringing
their trunks over to the station...
946
01:00:56,352 --> 01:00:58,377
and they're going on the 4:18.
947
01:00:58,454 --> 01:01:00,513
Good riddance to bad rubbish.
948
01:01:00,590 --> 01:01:03,115
Well, I don't like
to cast the first stone...
949
01:01:03,192 --> 01:01:06,628
but I must say,
a body can stand just so much.
950
01:01:06,696 --> 01:01:08,823
Mary Ann.
951
01:01:08,898 --> 01:01:11,799
The idea of those cheap, big-mouth
know-it-alls comin'here...
952
01:01:11,868 --> 01:01:15,668
trying to run us, stirrin'up
the young people and everything.
953
01:01:15,738 --> 01:01:20,038
- Well, Hattie, they didn't really hurt anybody.
- Oh, didn't they?
954
01:01:20,109 --> 01:01:23,237
Why, if it hadn't been
for Hester Appleby-
955
01:01:23,312 --> 01:01:26,748
Yes, if it hadn't been for her,
and people like you...
956
01:01:26,816 --> 01:01:29,148
everybody here would be a lot happier.
957
01:01:29,218 --> 01:01:31,311
Maybe you're glad to see us go...
958
01:01:31,387 --> 01:01:33,912
but you're not half as glad as we are.
959
01:01:33,990 --> 01:01:36,083
You're mean and skimpy-minded.
960
01:01:36,159 --> 01:01:38,252
And besides, my mother and father...
961
01:01:38,327 --> 01:01:40,761
are five million times better
than all of you put together.
962
01:01:40,830 --> 01:01:44,493
Your mother and father-
That's funny, isn't it, Ma?
963
01:01:44,567 --> 01:01:47,832
- Mary Ann.
- Those Ballantines aren't your real folks at all.
964
01:01:47,904 --> 01:01:52,705
You're just adopted. My pa's town clerk,
and he told Ma. Didn't he, Ma?
965
01:01:52,775 --> 01:01:56,233
That your pa died a long time ago
and left you the farm.
966
01:01:56,312 --> 01:01:59,281
And do you know what your real name is?
Wendy O'Hara.
967
01:01:59,348 --> 01:02:01,748
Mary Ann, you shouldn't have.
968
01:02:01,818 --> 01:02:05,413
Let her alone, Bertha. I always said
the child should know anyway.
969
01:02:05,488 --> 01:02:09,049
Hmph. I knew about it all the time.
970
01:02:09,125 --> 01:02:11,218
It's just too bad, Mary Ann...
971
01:02:11,294 --> 01:02:15,492
that your mother didn't
bring you up to be a nicer girl.
972
01:02:24,707 --> 01:02:28,438
You didn't know all the time,
did you?
973
01:02:28,511 --> 01:02:31,605
All they've ever done was for me.
974
01:02:36,452 --> 01:02:39,148
Oh. There they are now.
975
01:02:41,457 --> 01:02:43,982
- Here's my handkerchief.
- Thank you.
976
01:02:46,462 --> 01:02:48,760
- Do I look all right?
- You look fine.
977
01:02:48,831 --> 01:02:51,959
- Good-bye, Judy.
- Good-bye, Wendy.
978
01:03:05,014 --> 01:03:07,778
- You all set, honey?
- Yep.
979
01:03:07,850 --> 01:03:11,115
- Have you been crying again, baby?
- 'Course not, Mom.
980
01:03:11,187 --> 01:03:14,088
We better hurry, Dad,
or we'll have to swim to the station.
981
01:03:14,157 --> 01:03:16,182
Well, take your last look, girls.
982
01:03:16,259 --> 01:03:18,489
I still say it's a sweet little town.
983
01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:26,195
- Dad?
- What?
984
01:03:26,269 --> 01:03:30,103
Did you ever hear
of a man named O'Hara?
985
01:03:30,173 --> 01:03:32,164
O'Hara? What-
986
01:03:32,241 --> 01:03:34,835
- Did you ever hear of a man named O'Hara, Kit?
- Who?
987
01:03:34,911 --> 01:03:38,176
- O'Hara, Mom.
- Oh, O'Hara. Well, who said-
988
01:03:38,247 --> 01:03:41,239
- I mean, why?
- Oh-Oh, nothing.
989
01:03:42,552 --> 01:03:44,884
Sure is rainin'.
990
01:03:44,954 --> 01:03:46,979
Certainly is.
991
01:03:47,056 --> 01:03:49,547
What were you saying
about that man Mr. O'Hara?
992
01:03:49,625 --> 01:03:51,820
Well, I saw Mary Ann in the drug store...
993
01:03:51,894 --> 01:03:55,557
and-and she said he was my father.
994
01:03:55,631 --> 01:03:57,861
I was afraid of this.
995
01:03:57,934 --> 01:04:00,494
Well, you see, honey, we were
gonna tell you all the time...
996
01:04:00,570 --> 01:04:03,869
- onlyJoe thought that-
- Me? I wanted to tell you all the time, honey.
997
01:04:03,940 --> 01:04:06,909
Your mother here-Well, Kit,
she thought it would be better if-
998
01:04:06,976 --> 01:04:11,037
Now, Joe, don't say that.
I mean, we didn't want to spoil anything.
999
01:04:11,113 --> 01:04:13,877
That's right, honey.
We just didn't want to spoil anything.
1000
01:04:13,950 --> 01:04:16,475
We were playin' in vaudeville.
We were in Springfield when we-
1001
01:04:16,552 --> 01:04:18,747
- Let me tell her, Joe.
- All right.
1002
01:04:18,821 --> 01:04:22,313
You see, Wendy, your mother and father
were our best friends.
1003
01:04:22,391 --> 01:04:24,859
Real troupers and fine people.
1004
01:04:24,927 --> 01:04:28,192
God doesn't make them any better
than Barney and Florence O'Hara.
1005
01:04:28,264 --> 01:04:31,495
When your mother died,
it broke your father's heart.
1006
01:04:31,567 --> 01:04:35,003
When your father went to join her,
he left you with us.
1007
01:04:35,071 --> 01:04:38,905
We couldn't have loved you any more
if you'd been our own baby.
1008
01:04:38,975 --> 01:04:43,105
We realized that the time would come
when we would have to tell you the truth.
1009
01:04:43,179 --> 01:04:45,443
At first you were too young
to understand...
1010
01:04:45,514 --> 01:04:49,848
and later we were afraid
of the way you might take it.
1011
01:04:49,919 --> 01:04:52,410
We didn't want to hurt you.
1012
01:04:53,856 --> 01:04:56,381
So you see...
1013
01:04:56,459 --> 01:04:59,622
you had to find it out like this.
1014
01:05:01,364 --> 01:05:05,266
Well, it-it was something of a shock.
1015
01:05:05,334 --> 01:05:07,928
Naturally, you can't expect me to-
1016
01:05:08,004 --> 01:05:10,529
No, no, honey, we understand.
1017
01:05:10,606 --> 01:05:13,666
Mom, Dad,
I love you both more than ever.
1018
01:05:15,845 --> 01:05:18,405
# I wouldn't take a million #
1019
01:05:18,481 --> 01:05:21,541
# For a mom and dad like you #
1020
01:05:21,617 --> 01:05:24,552
# I wouldn't take a million #
1021
01:05:24,620 --> 01:05:27,612
# For the little things you do #
1022
01:05:27,690 --> 01:05:30,716
# If they offered me a mansion #
1023
01:05:30,793 --> 01:05:33,489
# In the finest part of town #
1024
01:05:33,562 --> 01:05:36,656
# If you're not in that mansion #
1025
01:05:36,732 --> 01:05:40,168
#Then I would turn it down #
1026
01:05:41,304 --> 01:05:43,670
# I wouldn't take a million #
1027
01:05:43,739 --> 01:05:46,299
# For the moments we have known #
1028
01:05:46,375 --> 01:05:49,674
# I'd rather sit upon your knee #
1029
01:05:49,745 --> 01:05:52,908
#Than on a royal throne #
1030
01:05:52,982 --> 01:05:56,349
# If I could rub Aladdin's lamp #
1031
01:05:56,419 --> 01:06:00,185
#To make a wish come true #
1032
01:06:01,657 --> 01:06:05,787
# I'd wish that every kid could have #
1033
01:06:05,861 --> 01:06:08,989
#A mom and dad #
1034
01:06:09,065 --> 01:06:12,262
# Like you ##
1035
01:06:16,839 --> 01:06:18,830
Blew it away.
1036
01:06:18,908 --> 01:06:21,741
Yeah, that's what you get
for trying to sing a ballad.
1037
01:06:25,448 --> 01:06:27,916
Daddy! Daddy!
1038
01:06:30,553 --> 01:06:33,351
- Well, now what is it?
- Come on, let's get out, gals.
1039
01:06:33,422 --> 01:06:35,447
We gotta hoof it.
1040
01:06:35,524 --> 01:06:37,685
Come on, darlin'.
1041
01:06:41,030 --> 01:06:43,021
Look!
1042
01:06:49,472 --> 01:06:52,168
Floyd Jenkins,
what are you doing here?
1043
01:06:52,241 --> 01:06:54,732
- Picking berries.
- We were coming back from picking berries...
1044
01:06:54,810 --> 01:06:57,506
- and got lost in the storm.
- There's a house on the hill.
1045
01:06:57,580 --> 01:06:59,571
We better take 'em up there.
1046
01:06:59,648 --> 01:07:02,481
Hold on to me. We'll go together.
1047
01:07:16,632 --> 01:07:21,069
Over here. Keep going.
1048
01:07:25,608 --> 01:07:27,940
Come on! Hold on tight!
1049
01:07:37,586 --> 01:07:39,747
Wendy and Kit, I thought you were-
1050
01:07:39,822 --> 01:07:41,847
We couldn't get to the station.
1051
01:07:41,924 --> 01:07:44,688
Sorry to bust in, but we had to
bring the kids in someplace.
1052
01:07:44,760 --> 01:07:47,354
If it wasn't for Mr. Ballantine,
we wouldn't have got here at all.
1053
01:07:47,430 --> 01:07:49,421
They'll have to stay here tonight.
1054
01:07:49,498 --> 01:07:52,058
- Take them into the living room and get the fire lighted.
- All right.
1055
01:07:52,134 --> 01:07:54,125
- I'll get the room ready upstairs.
- Gosh, I'm wet.
1056
01:07:54,203 --> 01:07:56,228
Come on, kids. Get in there.
1057
01:07:56,305 --> 01:07:58,296
Get in by the fire.
1058
01:08:00,476 --> 01:08:04,412
Come on now, kids, hurry up
and get off these shoes and stockings.
1059
01:08:04,480 --> 01:08:07,608
- All right, Joe, help me.
- It'll be nice and warm in a minute.
1060
01:08:07,683 --> 01:08:11,210
Ma'll be sore as a wet hen
when she sees my dress.
1061
01:08:11,287 --> 01:08:14,415
- Wish I had some hot chocolate.
- Jerry!
1062
01:08:14,490 --> 01:08:17,926
- Susie, where's Jerry?
- I don't know.
1063
01:08:17,993 --> 01:08:20,894
Jerry. Jerry.
1064
01:08:20,963 --> 01:08:23,864
- Where did Jerry go, Jill?
- He was with you, Frank.
1065
01:08:25,234 --> 01:08:28,169
Dad, Jerry hasn't been here all the time.
1066
01:08:28,237 --> 01:08:30,728
What?
1067
01:08:30,806 --> 01:08:33,570
Jerry. Jerry!
1068
01:08:33,642 --> 01:08:35,633
Well-
1069
01:08:35,711 --> 01:08:38,305
- Wasn't he with one of you kids?
- I saw him with Tommy.
1070
01:08:38,380 --> 01:08:40,405
I was holding his hand till he slipped.
1071
01:08:40,483 --> 01:08:42,474
I thought someone picked him up.
1072
01:08:42,551 --> 01:08:44,576
Oh, Jerry. I'll go find him.
1073
01:08:47,022 --> 01:08:49,422
- I'll go with you.
- No, honey, you stay here with Wendy.
1074
01:08:49,492 --> 01:08:51,483
- I'll get him.
- Be careful, Dad.
1075
01:08:51,560 --> 01:08:53,892
Yes, darling.
1076
01:08:55,698 --> 01:08:57,757
Take care now.
Stay on the road, Joe.
1077
01:08:57,833 --> 01:08:59,926
All right, all right, honey.
Don't worry.
1078
01:09:04,673 --> 01:09:07,608
Come on.
We'd better go back to the fire.
1079
01:09:09,445 --> 01:09:12,312
Oh, I bet he never finds Jerry.
1080
01:09:12,381 --> 01:09:14,372
Bet he'll never come back.
1081
01:09:14,450 --> 01:09:16,884
Maybe he got "drownded."
1082
01:09:22,057 --> 01:09:24,719
Jerry.
1083
01:09:24,793 --> 01:09:27,057
Jerry!
1084
01:09:32,535 --> 01:09:35,060
I'm scared!
1085
01:09:37,706 --> 01:09:41,164
- I wish I'd never come.
- I wish my pa was here!
1086
01:09:41,243 --> 01:09:43,473
Don't worry now.
There's nothing to be afraid of.
1087
01:09:53,556 --> 01:09:55,786
Jerry! Jerry!
1088
01:10:11,974 --> 01:10:15,068
I'm cold.
1089
01:10:15,144 --> 01:10:17,203
It's Dad.
1090
01:10:19,348 --> 01:10:21,839
Joe.
1091
01:10:26,355 --> 01:10:28,380
- Mike.
- Wendy, Kit.
1092
01:10:28,457 --> 01:10:31,255
- Did you seeJoe?
- No.
1093
01:10:31,327 --> 01:10:33,693
- What are you doing here?
- What do you think I'm doing?
1094
01:10:33,762 --> 01:10:36,094
I didn't fight my way through
this hurricane for three hours...
1095
01:10:36,165 --> 01:10:38,292
to call on your Aunt Hester.
1096
01:10:38,367 --> 01:10:42,394
Phone lines are down. I had to come
and see if there was anything left of you.
1097
01:10:42,471 --> 01:10:44,462
I was worried about you, Judy.
1098
01:10:49,111 --> 01:10:51,204
Jerry!
1099
01:10:55,050 --> 01:10:58,645
You all right, Jerry? Huh?
Let's get you inside.
1100
01:11:09,465 --> 01:11:11,729
Operator!
1101
01:11:11,800 --> 01:11:13,791
Operator.
1102
01:11:20,876 --> 01:11:24,312
Susie, it's all right.
There's nothing to be scared of.
1103
01:11:24,380 --> 01:11:28,339
- We're all going to be killed.
- Martha!
1104
01:11:28,417 --> 01:11:31,011
I want my ma!
1105
01:11:31,086 --> 01:11:33,418
Come on and stop it. Stop it! Stop it!
1106
01:11:33,489 --> 01:11:37,357
We must quiet these children.
They're getting hysterical.
1107
01:11:37,426 --> 01:11:40,725
Stop it, all of you. We're not fraidy cats.
1108
01:11:57,212 --> 01:12:00,238
- I'll take him, Joe.
- Bring him upstairs. Quickly.
1109
01:12:01,383 --> 01:12:04,216
Oh, boy, what an entrance.
1110
01:12:04,286 --> 01:12:06,550
- Oh.
- Oh, dear.
1111
01:12:06,622 --> 01:12:09,216
- Oh, he's hurt.
- No, I'm all right.
1112
01:12:16,865 --> 01:12:18,958
Gee, it's a swell day.
1113
01:12:19,034 --> 01:12:21,798
If it wasn't for the trees, you wouldn't
know there'd been a storm.
1114
01:12:21,870 --> 01:12:24,998
- You was sure scared last night.
- Aw, I was not.
1115
01:12:25,074 --> 01:12:28,009
- You was too.
- Hold still, Martha.
1116
01:12:28,077 --> 01:12:31,205
- How did that feel, Joe?
- Aw, that's swell, honey.
1117
01:12:32,715 --> 01:12:35,309
Oh, honey,
you haven't had much sleep.
1118
01:12:35,384 --> 01:12:37,909
Oh, I'm all right, Mom.
1119
01:12:39,755 --> 01:12:42,189
Where's your milk, Susie?
1120
01:12:42,257 --> 01:12:44,248
Is that it?
1121
01:12:44,326 --> 01:12:46,556
Look, you have to drink
every bit of your milk.
1122
01:12:46,628 --> 01:12:48,027
- Hello, Judith.
- Hello.
1123
01:12:48,097 --> 01:12:50,088
Well, the kids are here, sure enough.
1124
01:12:50,165 --> 01:12:52,258
Jerry, son.
1125
01:12:52,334 --> 01:12:54,359
Jerry, boy. You all right, son?
1126
01:12:54,436 --> 01:12:57,928
- Sure, Pop.
- Say, your ma is just having cat fits.
1127
01:12:58,006 --> 01:13:02,102
Aunt Hester, don't you think you should
tell them what the Ballantines are really like?
1128
01:13:02,177 --> 01:13:04,372
Don't bother, Judy.
1129
01:13:04,446 --> 01:13:07,006
They've had enough trouble
without us causing any more.
1130
01:13:07,082 --> 01:13:10,017
- If they don't like us, then-
- Well, Joe, what happened to you?
1131
01:13:10,085 --> 01:13:12,110
Did you break your leg taking bows?
1132
01:13:12,187 --> 01:13:14,451
- Dad got hurt saving Jerry.
- Never mind, Wendy.
1133
01:13:14,523 --> 01:13:18,425
- If it wasn't for him, Dad, I wouldn't be here.
- He saved all of us.
1134
01:13:18,494 --> 01:13:23,193
- That's right, Mr. Dakin.
- Well, I didn't mean-
1135
01:13:23,265 --> 01:13:26,792
Yes, you did, and you don't have
to try to get out of it now.
1136
01:13:26,869 --> 01:13:29,303
We know how you feel, all of you.
1137
01:13:29,371 --> 01:13:33,467
Ever since we came here, we wanted you
to like us and we wanted to like you...
1138
01:13:33,542 --> 01:13:35,567
but you wouldn't give us a chance.
1139
01:13:35,644 --> 01:13:39,102
Well, you don't have to worry.
We're going away, aren't we, Dad?
1140
01:13:39,181 --> 01:13:41,979
You can keep your old town
and chamber of commerce.
1141
01:13:42,050 --> 01:13:45,383
We're going back to where,
no matter what people are...
1142
01:13:45,454 --> 01:13:48,218
they don't try to stop people
from laughing and having a good time...
1143
01:13:48,290 --> 01:13:50,554
as if it were wrong.
1144
01:13:50,626 --> 01:13:55,256
All you want to be is mean
and say mean things that hurt people.
1145
01:13:55,330 --> 01:13:59,027
You're mean and- and full of vinegar.
1146
01:14:00,702 --> 01:14:02,499
Now, honey-
1147
01:14:07,342 --> 01:14:11,176
...and on Friday night, rather than
our usual educational film...
1148
01:14:11,246 --> 01:14:14,010
which was going to be
The Life Cycle of the Earthworm...
1149
01:14:14,082 --> 01:14:17,574
we shall give you Tyrone Power
in South Sea Love.
1150
01:14:20,222 --> 01:14:22,588
And now I give you the family
who have shown us...
1151
01:14:22,658 --> 01:14:24,922
we're never too old to enjoy ourselves.
1152
01:14:24,993 --> 01:14:28,827
Our heaven-sent shot in the arm,
The Three Ballantines.
1153
01:14:31,066 --> 01:14:33,091
- Ladies and gentlemen-
- Ladies and gentlemen-
1154
01:14:33,168 --> 01:14:36,399
That's all right.
I'll handle 'em. I'm used to 'em.
1155
01:14:38,240 --> 01:14:40,299
Thank you very much,
ladies and gentlemen.
1156
01:14:40,375 --> 01:14:43,139
I could pitch a tent here
and make a lot of long speeches...
1157
01:14:43,212 --> 01:14:45,271
but when you're a one-man
chamber of commerce...
1158
01:14:45,347 --> 01:14:47,338
you haven't got time
to make long speeches.
1159
01:14:47,416 --> 01:14:49,611
- Is that right, Dixon?
- You're right.
1160
01:14:49,685 --> 01:14:53,314
Right. You know, I could go on and tell you
how we're gonna reopen the stone quarry.
1161
01:14:53,388 --> 01:14:56,448
Yes, sir, we've got enough slate
and granite there to last us for years.
1162
01:14:56,525 --> 01:14:58,516
- Is that right, Sam?
- That's right.
1163
01:14:58,594 --> 01:15:00,721
Right. I could tell you
a lot of things, folks...
1164
01:15:00,796 --> 01:15:03,356
but you know, the main thing is,
we all wanna be happy.
1165
01:15:03,432 --> 01:15:06,230
Because that all that counts in life,
believe me, folks, is happiness.
1166
01:15:06,301 --> 01:15:09,395
- Isn't that right, Dakin, my pal?
- You're right, Joey.
1167
01:15:09,471 --> 01:15:12,998
Thank you, brother. If I'm not mistaken,
neighbor, I think that's your cue.
1168
01:15:13,075 --> 01:15:15,635
So, Wendy and Kitty, you ready?
1169
01:15:15,711 --> 01:15:19,203
# Heres a little tune that always
helps you when you're blue #
1170
01:15:19,281 --> 01:15:23,149
#Just a pretty little ditty
and you ought to learn it too #
1171
01:15:23,218 --> 01:15:26,710
# It will cheer you up
whenever skies above are gray #
1172
01:15:26,788 --> 01:15:29,018
#When things go wrong #
1173
01:15:29,091 --> 01:15:31,082
# It's just the song #
1174
01:15:31,159 --> 01:15:34,322
#To chase your cares away #
1175
01:15:34,396 --> 01:15:37,055
- #Away #
- #Away #
1176
01:15:37,132 --> 01:15:42,195
#And everything will be okay #
1177
01:15:42,271 --> 01:15:44,262
#Tra, la, la, la #
1178
01:15:44,339 --> 01:15:47,536

# So wear a smile
Sing a little while it's raining #
1182

things are going to turn out fine #
1186

1187
01:16:15,270 --> 01:16:18,239
