[male news reporter] And now, folks,
WGIB special events brings you

5
00:02:02,467 --> 00:02:04,428
the last stop of our real-live broadcast.

6
00:02:04,511 --> 00:02:07,848
This is Ted Wallace speaking to you
direct from Frederick Street.

7
00:02:07,931 --> 00:02:09,891
Across from me,
stands the palatial mansion

8
00:02:09,975 --> 00:02:12,853
where Joseph B. Chapin was born
and where he died.

9
00:02:12,936 --> 00:02:15,105
The house was built
by Mr. Chapin's grandfather

10
00:02:15,188 --> 00:02:16,940
over a hundred years ago.

11
00:02:17,024 --> 00:02:19,276
Here come
the distinguished funeral guests now.

12
00:02:19,359 --> 00:02:22,779
We see Mr. Arthur McHenry,
the late Mr. Chapin's law partner.

13
00:02:22,863 --> 00:02:24,781
And Mr. Joseph B. Chapin, Jr.

14
00:02:24,865 --> 00:02:27,993
Miss Ann Chapin, popular member
of the Gibbsville younger set,

15
00:02:28,076 --> 00:02:31,163
and Mrs. Edith Chapin, the bereaved widow.

16
00:02:33,874 --> 00:02:36,001
Now arriving is Governor Lloyd Williams.

17
00:02:36,084 --> 00:02:37,878
With him are State Senator Mike Slattery

18
00:02:37,961 --> 00:02:40,964
and Mr. Robert Hooker,
editor of the Gibbsville Standard.

19
00:02:41,381 --> 00:02:43,550
All three were close personal friends
of the departed.

20
00:02:43,634 --> 00:02:46,011
And even at this distance
their grief is evident.

21
00:02:47,846 --> 00:02:50,015
[photographer] Governor!
Give us a smile, will you, please?

22
00:02:50,098 --> 00:02:51,808
Now, boys, this is a funeral.

23
00:02:53,101 --> 00:02:54,603
[photographer] Thank you.

24
00:02:55,228 --> 00:02:56,605
[reporter] Mr. Paul Donaldson,

25
00:02:56,688 --> 00:02:59,316
the famous multi-millionaire banker
from New York.

26
00:02:59,399 --> 00:03:02,986
And Lieutenant General Coates, who drove
here from Washington for the funeral.

27
00:03:08,325 --> 00:03:12,537
Edith, I call myself a dealer in words,
but today i have none to offer.

28
00:03:12,621 --> 00:03:14,956
Today, Robert, but not yesterday.

29
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:16,792
Oh. You saw my editorial?

30
00:03:17,334 --> 00:03:20,671
I consider it one of the finest pieces
of writing i've ever read.

31
00:03:20,754 --> 00:03:23,173
And not only because it was about Joe.

32
00:03:23,256 --> 00:03:25,676
The Bar Association
is having it reprinted.

33
00:03:26,259 --> 00:03:28,595
It's an empty honor when i think of...

34
00:03:28,679 --> 00:03:31,682
Well, I wish the occasion hadn't arose...
uh, arisen.

35
00:03:31,765 --> 00:03:33,767
Thank you.

36
00:03:33,850 --> 00:03:36,978
I think i ought to try and say a few words
to each of our guests here.

37
00:03:37,062 --> 00:03:39,439
Oh, you shouldn't be downstairs here
at all.

38
00:03:39,523 --> 00:03:42,567
It's a rare sight to see such courage
these days.

39
00:03:42,651 --> 00:03:46,238
I've always lived for my husband
and my family.

40
00:03:46,321 --> 00:03:47,322
Nothing else.

41
00:03:49,991 --> 00:03:51,743
You're very brave, Edith Chapin.

42
00:03:53,245 --> 00:03:54,830
Get Joby.

43
00:03:54,913 --> 00:03:58,792
He should be down here with us.
It looks... tacky.

44
00:03:58,875 --> 00:04:01,002
I'll try to get him downstairs, Mother.

45
00:04:01,086 --> 00:04:02,879
- Edith.
- Arthur, dear.

46
00:04:02,963 --> 00:04:06,216
You were Joe's best friend.
Stay beside me.

47
00:04:06,299 --> 00:04:08,593
You know how painfully shy i am.

48
00:04:11,096 --> 00:04:14,474
It's so good of you to come, Governor.
Joe would've appreciated it.

49
00:04:14,558 --> 00:04:15,809
The least i could do, Edith.

50
00:04:15,892 --> 00:04:19,146
And you, Mike,
he was always so fond of you.

51
00:04:23,275 --> 00:04:24,651
Mike, you're in trouble.

52
00:04:25,569 --> 00:04:28,447
- She wants something.
- What, for instance?

53
00:04:28,530 --> 00:04:30,490
Oh, say, a small ambassadorship,

54
00:04:30,574 --> 00:04:34,244
or some other post suitable to a widow
of wealth and refinement.

55
00:04:34,327 --> 00:04:35,996
I don't owe her a thing.

56
00:04:36,079 --> 00:04:38,957
But she thinks you owe her
a hundred grand.

One more slug, and i might be up to it.

60
00:04:56,016 --> 00:04:58,894
There, you know you get plastered
on two drinks.

61
00:04:58,977 --> 00:05:00,937
This is a day to get plastered.

62
00:05:01,688 --> 00:05:03,440
Maybe you've got the right idea.

63
00:05:03,523 --> 00:05:07,611
[laughs] Is she being noble,
our bereaved mother?

64
00:05:07,694 --> 00:05:10,071
Yes, she's being noble.

65
00:05:10,781 --> 00:05:13,825
Too terribly stiff-upper-lip noble.

66
00:05:18,663 --> 00:05:21,708
- When do you go back to camp?
-11:05 tonight.

67
00:05:21,792 --> 00:05:23,794
First time i ever looked forward to it.

68
00:05:25,504 --> 00:05:28,757
I'm beginning to appreciate
why Father needed this stuff.

69
00:05:32,344 --> 00:05:33,970
Did you love him, Joby?

70
00:05:36,264 --> 00:05:38,266
He was my father,
the only one i ever had.

71
00:05:38,350 --> 00:05:39,768
I don't mean like that.

72
00:05:41,353 --> 00:05:43,522
I mean, did you positively love him

73
00:05:44,022 --> 00:05:45,607
as a human being?

74
00:05:45,690 --> 00:05:48,276
[laughs]
Well, not the way you did, old girl.

75
00:05:48,985 --> 00:05:50,570
In spite of what he did to you.

76
00:05:50,654 --> 00:05:51,655
He didn't do it.

77
00:05:52,739 --> 00:05:54,658
He went along with her. He let her do it.

78
00:05:54,741 --> 00:05:57,786
Only because he went by his rule book.

79
00:05:57,869 --> 00:05:59,913
It was an awfully thin little book,

80
00:05:59,996 --> 00:06:02,082
but the rules in it were important.

81
00:06:03,208 --> 00:06:07,671
Such as, "The mother takes charge
when the daughter commits a social error

82
00:06:07,754 --> 00:06:09,422
like getting herself pregnant.”

but not the music.

- Yeah.

94

Leading a band.

95
00:06:45,208 --> 00:06:47,335
He's married and lives in New Jersey.

96

Not another one, Joby.

Let her enjoy putting on her act.

You and me.

Her son and daughter.

106
00:07:28,084 --> 00:07:29,753
Who has she got?

107
00:07:29,836 --> 00:07:32,714
Oh, you left out
the most important one of all...

108
00:07:32,797 --> 00:07:35,133
- Who?
- Herself. She has herself.

109
00:07:35,216 --> 00:07:39,054
[laughs] And she's been having herself
for years and years.

110

That's why the biggest thing in
Joseph B. Chapin's life was his funeral.

Are you aware of what she did to Father?

112
00:07:47,312 --> 00:07:49,064
What did she do to Father?

113
00:07:49,940 --> 00:07:51,066
Poisoned him.

114
00:07:52,567 --> 00:07:54,277
Oh, now, Joby, wait a minute.

115

I'm waiting.

116
00:07:58,823 --> 00:08:00,450
How did she poison him?

117
00:08:01,201 --> 00:08:07,332
With a slow poison,
undetectable to modern scientific methods.

118

- Oh, I get it.
- Now you get it.

119
00:08:09,834 --> 00:08:12,253
She did something to him
that was like a slow poison.

- You get it.
- Why?

121
00:08:14,422 --> 00:08:16,925
He was in her way.
She didn't need him anymore.

Joby, what did happen to him?

123

Only five years ago. Remember?

He was so strong and so jolly
and so eager for life.

00:11:24,445 --> 00:11:25,572
Oh, come on.

162
00:11:27,448 --> 00:11:28,908
People are looking at us.

163
00:11:43,214 --> 00:11:46,759
If you didn't want to be seen with me,
you shouldn't have invited me.

164
00:11:46,843 --> 00:11:48,887
My husband invited you.

165
00:11:49,929 --> 00:11:53,183
Because i'm the district attorney
and couldn't be left out?

166
00:11:56,853 --> 00:11:58,438
Exactly.

167
00:11:59,272 --> 00:12:03,067
And here i was thinking
i'd made the social grade at last.

168
00:12:03,151 --> 00:12:04,903
Hi, Joe!

169
00:12:04,986 --> 00:12:06,988
Ann, would you honor
your old Uncle Arthur?

170
00:12:08,781 --> 00:12:11,034
You're making me very happy, Edith.

171
00:12:11,117 --> 00:12:13,536
You promised never to annoy me.

172
00:12:13,620 --> 00:12:15,413
And i think you're drunk.

173
00:12:15,496 --> 00:12:17,332
Drunk but discreet.

174
00:12:18,291 --> 00:12:21,878
After all,
I've kept our little secret for 15 years.

175
00:12:22,754 --> 00:12:24,631
A gentleman would have forgotten it.

176
00:12:24,714 --> 00:12:25,924
But i'm not a gentleman.

177
00:12:26,549 --> 00:12:29,469
Oh, I heard that one when i was
a freshman at New Haven.

178
00:12:34,599 --> 00:12:35,600
Aspirin.

179
00:12:35,683 --> 00:12:38,353
These days champagne doesn't exhilarate,
it just gives me a headache.

180
00:12:38,436 --> 00:12:40,772
[laughs]
Scotch and Saratoga vichy. No ice.

181
00:12:41,606 --> 00:12:44,400
Joe, you ought to
take a good look at yourself.

182
00:12:44,484 --> 00:12:45,652
In what way?

183
00:12:45,735 --> 00:12:47,737
You're 50 years old today.

184
00:12:48,988 --> 00:12:51,824
We haven't too much time left, you and i.

185
00:12:51,908 --> 00:12:53,993
- Time for what?
- Tell me...

186
00:12:54,994 --> 00:12:57,622
- Have you got a girlfriend?
- No.

187
00:12:57,705 --> 00:12:59,499
You ought to come to New York with me
sometime.

188
00:12:59,582 --> 00:13:01,668
I'll fix you up
with a little group i know.

189
00:13:01,751 --> 00:13:02,877
- You will?
- Mm!

190
00:13:02,961 --> 00:13:05,255
They're not kids. But who wants kids?

191
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:09,092
New York's overrun with the fanciest,
good-looking dames in the world.

192
00:13:09,175 --> 00:13:11,219
And there isn't a thing they don't know.

193
00:13:11,302 --> 00:13:13,179
When do you get time
to make all your millions?

194
00:13:13,263 --> 00:13:16,474
Listen, I'm downtown at 10:00,
just after the bell rings.

195
00:13:16,557 --> 00:13:18,184
Some guys go to a gym.

196
00:13:18,977 --> 00:13:21,729
I take a dame to a nightclub. Same effect.

197
00:13:23,523 --> 00:13:24,774
Tell me something.

198
00:13:24,857 --> 00:13:28,319
Have you ever been out with another woman
since you married Edith?

199
00:13:28,403 --> 00:13:31,197
Or are you too much
of a gentleman to answer that?

200
00:13:32,073 --> 00:13:34,200
I'll answer it. And the answer is "no."

201
00:13:35,118 --> 00:13:37,495
You poor, miserable jerk.

202
00:13:37,954 --> 00:13:39,580
You've never got anything out of life,

203
00:13:39,664 --> 00:13:42,041
and boy,
you wouldn't know how to start now.

204
00:13:42,125 --> 00:13:44,377
Paul, if you really got anything
out of your kind of life,

205
00:13:44,460 --> 00:13:46,337
you wouldn't brag about it so much.

206
00:13:47,422 --> 00:13:49,257
After you, Don Juan.

207
00:14:05,898 --> 00:14:06,899
Joby!

208
00:14:07,859 --> 00:14:08,860
Hello, Joby.

209
00:14:08,943 --> 00:14:10,611
- Father, Mother, Anna-Banana.
- Hello, Joby.

210
00:14:12,488 --> 00:14:14,240
What are you doing here?

211
00:14:14,324 --> 00:14:16,284
- I've been fired.
- Fired?

212
00:14:16,784 --> 00:14:18,369
Ann, turn off that radio.

213
00:14:18,995 --> 00:14:19,996
Fired.

214
00:14:20,079 --> 00:14:22,498
You know, expelled.
Given the old heave-ho.

215
00:14:23,624 --> 00:14:25,043
-[music stops]
- What for?

216
00:14:25,126 --> 00:14:28,254
Well, the specific crime was "smoking."
But i think there's a lot more.

217
00:14:28,338 --> 00:14:29,839
Old Pottie's writing you a letter.

218
00:14:29,922 --> 00:14:32,258
- Ann, go to bed.
- Mother...

219
00:14:32,342 --> 00:14:34,093
[whispering] I said, go to bed.

220
00:14:34,177 --> 00:14:36,471
Yes, Mother. See you later.

221
00:14:37,138 --> 00:14:38,389
Stop that!

222
00:14:40,683 --> 00:14:42,852
I'll call Dr. Potts in the morning.
Maybe...

223
00:14:42,935 --> 00:14:45,063
Take my tip and save your 15 cents.

224
00:14:45,146 --> 00:14:46,439
Old Pottie's had it.

225
00:14:46,522 --> 00:14:48,066
You still have to prepare for college.

226
00:14:48,149 --> 00:14:50,109
We'll have to send you
to some tutoring school.

227
00:14:50,193 --> 00:14:53,363
Father! Father, you know
Bill Wyzansky in my class?

228
00:14:53,446 --> 00:14:56,616
Well, his father's the pianist.
You know, Lazlo WyzansKky.

229
00:14:56,699 --> 00:15:00,119
He gave a concert at school last month,
and afterwards, I played for him.

230
00:15:00,203 --> 00:15:02,914
He said i could easily
get a scholarship at Juilliard.

231
00:15:02,997 --> 00:15:04,040
What's Juilliard?

232
00:15:04,123 --> 00:15:06,584
- The music school in New York.
- Music school?

233
00:15:06,667 --> 00:15:09,712
It's famous, Mother. You get a chance
to study with the top men.

234
00:15:09,796 --> 00:15:11,005
Classical and jazz. I could--

235
00:15:11,089 --> 00:15:13,633
What about Yale? What about law school?

236
00:15:13,716 --> 00:15:16,302
You know that Arthur McHenry and i
have always had our hearts set

237
00:15:16,386 --> 00:15:18,429
on you coming into the firm with us.

238
00:15:18,513 --> 00:15:20,431
Well, it-- it was an idea, that's all.

239
00:15:20,515 --> 00:15:23,559
- Well, perhaps--
- A very foolish idea.

240
00:15:23,643 --> 00:15:24,644
But, Mother--

241
00:15:24,727 --> 00:15:28,564
Uh, we'll sleep on it
and discuss it in the morning.

242
00:15:28,648 --> 00:15:30,691
- Yes, sir, but i mean--
- Good night, Joby.

243
00:15:32,402 --> 00:15:33,528
Good night, sir.

244
00:15:33,903 --> 00:15:36,072
- Good night, Joby.
- Good night, Mother.

245
00:15:42,328 --> 00:15:43,496
[Ann] Come in.

246
00:15:45,540 --> 00:15:47,250
Oh. Were you already asleep?

247
00:15:47,333 --> 00:15:49,419
No, I just turned off the light
this minute.

248
00:15:51,712 --> 00:15:53,339
Came to say good night.

249
00:15:53,423 --> 00:15:57,969
Good night... you dear man,
my lovely father.

250
00:15:58,428 --> 00:16:00,513
Your lovely, antique father.

251
00:16:00,596 --> 00:16:02,223
Oh, stop boasting.

252
00:16:03,182 --> 00:16:06,102
Father,
what are you going to do about Joby?

253
00:16:06,185 --> 00:16:07,854
I haven't decided yet.

254
00:16:08,521 --> 00:16:10,481
You know, he really has talent.

255
00:16:10,565 --> 00:16:13,234
He certainly displays a talent
for getting into trouble.

256
00:16:13,317 --> 00:16:16,654
That's where you're so different.
You've never given me a moment of worry.

257
00:16:18,281 --> 00:16:19,449
Good night, dear Ann.

258
00:16:19,532 --> 00:16:20,741
Good night.

259
00:16:23,661 --> 00:16:25,538
Good night, my lovely daughter.

260
00:16:25,621 --> 00:16:27,373
Good night.

261
00:16:38,468 --> 00:16:40,595
What time do you have to be
at the office tomorrow?

262
00:16:40,678 --> 00:16:42,305
I have to be in court at 10:00.

263
00:16:42,388 --> 00:16:44,307
Well, you'd better tell Marion, then.

264
00:16:47,018 --> 00:16:48,102
[blows]

265
00:16:48,186 --> 00:16:49,270
[woman] Yes, sir?

266
00:16:49,353 --> 00:16:51,856
Marion, I'll have breakfast at 8:30.

267
00:16:51,939 --> 00:16:53,149
Thank you. Good night.

268
00:16:53,232 --> 00:16:54,400
[Marion] Good night, sir.

269
00:16:56,736 --> 00:16:59,864
You know, I've been thinking
about this Juilliard school.

270
00:16:59,947 --> 00:17:00,948
Joe!

271
00:17:01,032 --> 00:17:04,660
If we let Joby go to a place like that,
what would your friends say?

272
00:17:04,744 --> 00:17:08,581
The-- The people that really count,
like Paul Donaldson, for instance.

273
00:17:08,664 --> 00:17:11,876
I really don't give a hang
what Paul Donaldson would say.

274
00:17:11,959 --> 00:17:14,712
I like Paul, but he's not a man i admire.

275
00:17:18,216 --> 00:17:21,260
I've never understood Joby,
and i don't suppose i ever will.

276
00:17:21,344 --> 00:17:23,012
But I-I want to help him.

277
00:17:23,095 --> 00:17:25,181
Help him ruin his life?

278
00:17:25,264 --> 00:17:26,849
Well, it's his life, Edith.

279
00:17:26,933 --> 00:17:29,936
And have we no responsibilities
as his parents?

280
00:17:30,561 --> 00:17:34,941
Yes. We're responsible, all right, and
that's what makes it so tough to decide.

281
00:17:35,024 --> 00:17:37,485
One thing is certain,
he's got to go through college.

282
00:17:37,568 --> 00:17:39,529
He can't afford to miss out on that.

283
00:17:40,613 --> 00:17:41,697
Afterwards, we'll see.

284
00:17:41,781 --> 00:17:46,118
It's time enough then to go to Juilliard,
if he-- if he still wants to.

285
00:17:47,703 --> 00:17:51,332
- A jazz pianist. What an ambition.
- Speaking of ambitions.

286
00:17:51,415 --> 00:17:54,168
What were you and Mike Slattery
discussing at the party?

287
00:17:54,252 --> 00:17:56,504
- He asked me to have lunch tomorrow.
- He did?

288
00:17:57,463 --> 00:17:59,715
- Do you think he's guessed anything?
- Maybe.

289
00:17:59,799 --> 00:18:02,093
Now i've got to decide
whether to break the date or keep it.

290
00:18:02,176 --> 00:18:05,346
Oh, keep it, of course!
You wanted him to come to you.

291
00:18:05,429 --> 00:18:08,015
- I don't know, Edith,
but when you get right down to it,

292
00:18:08,724 --> 00:18:09,850
I'm no politician.

293
00:18:09,934 --> 00:18:11,936
Neither was Wendell Willkie a year ago.

294
00:18:12,019 --> 00:18:14,981
A year from now,
he may be President of the United States.

295
00:18:15,064 --> 00:18:19,193
- In four years, you could be the one.
- Hey, Edith, Edith, wait-wait a minute.

296
00:18:19,277 --> 00:18:21,070
This is just the way we planned it.

297
00:18:21,153 --> 00:18:23,573
Now,
the professionals are getting interested.

298
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:25,575
That's what worries me.

299
00:18:25,658 --> 00:18:29,537
Why should it? You need
the Mike Slatterys and they need you.

300
00:18:33,332 --> 00:18:34,834
You want me to look at this?

301
00:18:41,549 --> 00:18:44,969
I think i see... $20,000.

302
00:18:47,930 --> 00:18:49,932
You want me to put this in my pocket?

303
00:18:52,310 --> 00:18:54,687
What's the matter? Afraid
there's a Dictograph in this office?

304
00:18:54,770 --> 00:18:59,275
I take it this isn't just
your usual campaign contribution.

305
00:19:00,318 --> 00:19:03,654
Mike, you haven't picked the nominees
for the top state offices yet.

306
00:19:03,738 --> 00:19:05,489
Governor and United States Senator.

307
00:19:05,573 --> 00:19:06,616
No.

308
00:19:06,699 --> 00:19:08,951
I don't want either of them.

309
00:19:09,035 --> 00:19:11,537
You don't want to be governor or senator,
is that it?

310
00:19:11,621 --> 00:19:12,663
That's it.

311
00:19:13,164 --> 00:19:16,542
Frankly, a million dollars
wouldn't get you either of them.

312
00:19:20,463 --> 00:19:22,548
I'm not completely an innocent, Mike.

313
00:19:24,258 --> 00:19:26,927
My grandfather was lieutenant governor
of this state.

314
00:19:27,011 --> 00:19:31,807
Oh, you want the nomination
for lieutenant governor, is that it?

315
00:19:31,891 --> 00:19:34,226
- Yes!
- Who knows you want it?

316
00:19:34,310 --> 00:19:36,228
You and Edith, that's all.

317
00:19:36,312 --> 00:19:38,773
Well, speaking personally,
I'd like to see you get it.

318
00:19:38,856 --> 00:19:41,192
And not only as a friend.

319
00:19:41,275 --> 00:19:43,110
That's good enough for me, Mike.

320
00:19:44,278 --> 00:19:47,114
Now that we've got this, for openers.

321
00:19:48,074 --> 00:19:49,659
Openers?

322
00:19:49,742 --> 00:19:51,994
Well, you know
what the boys are going to say.

323
00:19:52,078 --> 00:19:53,245
"Who's Joe Chapin?"

324
00:19:53,329 --> 00:19:55,998
Whoever heard of him outside
of Lantenengo County?

325
00:19:57,291 --> 00:20:02,588
Let's say this would impress the boys,
but... it wouldn't impress them enough.

326
00:20:06,425 --> 00:20:10,096
How much would...
would impress them enough?

327
00:20:10,179 --> 00:20:11,847
That's for you to say, Joe.

328
00:20:12,765 --> 00:20:15,017
If i'm forced to,
I'll go five times this amount.

329
00:20:15,101 --> 00:20:18,562
A hundred thousand dollars.
Can i tell the boys you're good for that?

330
00:20:18,646 --> 00:20:21,148
If they're good for the nomination,
if they'll shake hands on it.

331
00:20:21,232 --> 00:20:24,276
Oh, they won't shake hands
on anything, Joe.

332
00:20:24,360 --> 00:20:26,779
Not in a tough year like this.

333
00:20:29,407 --> 00:20:31,492
- Well...
- I'll, uh...

334
00:20:32,284 --> 00:20:34,078
Tell you what i'll do with you, Joe.

335
00:20:35,579 --> 00:20:36,831
I'll keep this.

336
00:20:36,914 --> 00:20:39,583
I won't ask you for the rest of it
unless, in my honest opinion,

337
00:20:39,667 --> 00:20:42,920
you have the inside track
for the nomination.

338
00:20:43,003 --> 00:20:45,089
But you'll have to trust me, Joe.

339
00:20:45,172 --> 00:20:46,257
This?

340
00:20:47,383 --> 00:20:50,428
You've kissed this goodbye,
no matter what happens.

341
00:20:51,053 --> 00:20:52,430
You understand?

342
00:20:52,513 --> 00:20:53,764
Mike, you're a wonder.

343
00:20:53,848 --> 00:20:56,100
At least you didn't call me
a smart Irishman.

344
00:20:56,183 --> 00:20:58,102
Only because i forgot to.

345
00:20:58,185 --> 00:21:01,147
I like it when people like you
forget that, Joe.

346
00:21:03,107 --> 00:21:04,483
Goodbye, Mrs. Slattery.

347
00:21:04,567 --> 00:21:06,444
I never even knew
you worked for your husband.

348
00:21:06,527 --> 00:21:09,113
He's a slippery lad.
I never let him out of my sight.

349
00:21:09,196 --> 00:21:11,991
Peg makes all the major decisions
in this office.

350
00:21:13,117 --> 00:21:15,161
- You'll hear from me soon.
- All right, Mike.

351
00:21:17,079 --> 00:21:18,080
[locks door]

352
00:21:21,333 --> 00:21:22,460
Did you get that?

353
00:21:23,461 --> 00:21:25,713
Every word. You want me to play it back?

354
00:21:25,796 --> 00:21:26,797
Well, uh...

355
00:21:26,881 --> 00:21:30,718
Why would a fellow like Joe Chapin
want to be lieutenant governor?

356
00:21:30,801 --> 00:21:32,386
It doesn't make sense.

357
00:21:32,470 --> 00:21:34,221
Unless he wants to fly even higher.

358
00:21:34,305 --> 00:21:37,016
How much higher?
He ruled out senator and gov--

359
00:21:40,394 --> 00:21:42,062
Are you thinking the same thing i am?

360
00:21:42,146 --> 00:21:43,397
What, for instance?

361
00:21:45,274 --> 00:21:46,400
I can't say it.

362
00:21:46,484 --> 00:21:50,029
The words have a hard time
getting out of my mouth.

363
00:21:50,112 --> 00:21:53,282
- The same thing Mr. Willkie wants?
- Say it, girl!

364
00:21:53,365 --> 00:21:55,785
Mr. Chapin wants to be president,
that's all.

365
00:21:57,912 --> 00:22:00,080
Can you imagine now...

366
00:22:01,123 --> 00:22:05,336
How do you convince yourself
you can be, or you ought to be?

367
00:22:05,419 --> 00:22:07,463
You marry Edith Stokes Chapin.

368
00:22:10,925 --> 00:22:11,926
[gunshot]

369
00:22:12,009 --> 00:22:14,553
You jerked it.
You're supposed to squeeze the trigger.

370
00:22:15,346 --> 00:22:17,765
Now aim carefully,
and just squeeze it off.

371
00:22:18,349 --> 00:22:19,350
[gunshot]

372
00:22:19,433 --> 00:22:21,560
- You jerked it again.
- Mighty poor, Ann.

373
00:22:21,644 --> 00:22:23,896
- Come on, let's dance.
- Wait a minute. This is important.

374
00:22:23,979 --> 00:22:25,189
Come on, you're never gonna hit--

375

-[gunshot]
-[horn blows]

376
00:22:27,024 --> 00:22:28,567
- She did it!
- Hey.

377
00:22:28,651 --> 00:22:30,361
There, you see.

378
00:22:30,444 --> 00:22:32,321
- Annie Oakley's sister.
- Yeah.

379
00:22:35,282 --> 00:22:38,577
I feel pretty good about being out
with the lieutenant governor's daughter.

380
00:22:38,661 --> 00:22:39,870
Don't be silly.

381
00:22:39,954 --> 00:22:42,915
Father isn't even nominated yet,
let alone elected.

382
00:22:42,998 --> 00:22:44,708
[girlfriend] Well, everybody's for him.

383
00:22:45,751 --> 00:22:48,003
- Who's everybody?
- Well, my father and mother.

384
00:22:48,087 --> 00:22:49,296
Everybody they know.

385
00:22:49,964 --> 00:22:51,757
That's not everybody.

386
00:22:51,841 --> 00:22:55,135
Come on, Buster.
I get enough politics at home.

387
00:22:57,012 --> 00:22:59,014
[music playing]

388
00:23:13,362 --> 00:23:16,615
The trumpet player is good.
I want to find out his name.

389
00:23:16,699 --> 00:23:18,659
What do you care what his name is?

390
00:23:26,375 --> 00:23:28,586
-[music ends]
-[applause]

391
00:23:28,669 --> 00:23:30,421
- Come on, Ann.
- Come on.

392
00:23:32,214 --> 00:23:33,632
- Hello

393
00:23:34,550 --> 00:23:38,012
Could you tell me, please,
the name of that trumpet player there?

394
00:23:39,221 --> 00:23:40,973
Hey, Charlie, what's your name?

395
00:23:41,056 --> 00:23:42,474
I'll bite. What's my name?

396
00:23:42,558 --> 00:23:44,643
No kidding! Society girl wants to know.

397
00:23:47,104 --> 00:23:49,607
What do you want to know my name for?
You got a subpoena?

398
00:23:49,690 --> 00:23:51,734
No. It's for my brother.

399
00:23:51,817 --> 00:23:55,195
He's got some records made by this band,
and he thinks your playing is superb.

400
00:23:55,279 --> 00:23:56,280
Really, he does.

401
00:23:56,363 --> 00:23:58,407
Superb, huh? Well, good for him.

402
00:23:59,617 --> 00:24:02,202
Well, what's your name? So i can tell him.

403
00:24:02,286 --> 00:24:03,537
Buongiorno.

404
00:24:04,622 --> 00:24:07,166
- How do you spell that?
- I'd better write it down for you.

405
00:24:07,249 --> 00:24:08,375
Thanks a lot.

406
00:24:09,293 --> 00:24:11,837
You, uh, you want
my telephone number too?

407
00:24:12,963 --> 00:24:14,048
No, thanks.

408
00:24:16,884 --> 00:24:19,720
How about a drink?
There's an intermission in a few minutes.

409
00:24:21,138 --> 00:24:22,973
You're inviting us?

410
00:24:23,057 --> 00:24:26,101
I'm inviting you, both of you.
I've got a little jug.

411
00:24:26,185 --> 00:24:28,604
- I'm sorry we can't make it.
- Okay.

412
00:24:28,687 --> 00:24:30,356
We'll meet you at the intermission.

413
00:24:39,949 --> 00:24:41,367
[music starts]

414
00:24:41,450 --> 00:24:42,868
What's the matter with you, anyway?

415
00:24:42,952 --> 00:24:45,412
Trying to pick up a bum
out of the orchestra like that?

416
00:24:45,496 --> 00:24:47,122
Bum?

417
00:24:47,206 --> 00:24:50,084
Bet he makes more money
than you'll make when you're 25.

418
00:24:50,167 --> 00:24:52,211
Well, at least
I won't be making it that way.

419
00:25:01,762 --> 00:25:03,514
- Let's go out in the car.
- No.

420
00:25:04,348 --> 00:25:06,350
I'm not going out in the car.

421
00:25:07,267 --> 00:25:08,394
Is that final?

422
00:25:09,395 --> 00:25:10,854
Yes.

423
00:25:10,938 --> 00:25:14,024
It's as final as
the Declaration of Independence.

424
00:25:14,608 --> 00:25:15,985
Then excuse me!

425
00:25:16,068 --> 00:25:20,030
Find somebody else to take you home,
your lousy trumpet player for all I care.

426
00:26:34,021 --> 00:26:35,022
[music ends]

427
00:26:35,856 --> 00:26:38,108
What's your name? Where you from?

428
00:26:38,192 --> 00:26:41,570
I gave you mine,
but i was too dumb to get yours.

429
00:26:42,404 --> 00:26:45,491
I'm Ann Chapin, and i'm from Gibbsville.

430
00:26:45,574 --> 00:26:47,743
Gibbsville, huh?
What do you know about that?

431
00:26:47,826 --> 00:26:49,203
I played there last winter.

432
00:26:49,953 --> 00:26:51,580
So that's where you live, huh?

433
00:26:51,663 --> 00:26:54,166
All my life. I was born there.

434
00:26:54,249 --> 00:26:56,376
I was born in Jersey City, New Jersey.

435
00:26:57,711 --> 00:26:58,879
Are you married?

436
00:26:58,962 --> 00:27:01,715
Am i married? Not in this business.

437
00:27:02,508 --> 00:27:03,509
Are you?

438
00:27:04,802 --> 00:27:05,803
No.

439
00:27:05,886 --> 00:27:07,221
Huh!

440
00:27:07,304 --> 00:27:09,848
Well, I don't know who belongs to this...

441
00:27:11,266 --> 00:27:12,518
but be my guest.

442
00:27:19,358 --> 00:27:21,777
- Hang on to this, will you?
- Mm-hmm.

443
00:27:21,860 --> 00:27:23,987
This stuff keeps me going
through the intermission.

444
00:27:24,071 --> 00:27:26,657
I don't get tired playing,
but when i stop, I do.

445
00:27:26,740 --> 00:27:28,200
Now, you tell me when.

446
00:27:29,243 --> 00:27:30,327
That's fine.

447
00:27:31,411 --> 00:27:33,872
None of that stuff for me, thank you.

448
00:27:33,956 --> 00:27:35,499
Where did you learn to play?

449
00:27:35,582 --> 00:27:37,543
Oh, one of the sisters.
You know, the nuns.

450
00:27:37,626 --> 00:27:39,670
- I went to paro--
- A nun who played the trumpet?

451
00:27:39,753 --> 00:27:41,213
Why, sure.

452
00:27:41,296 --> 00:27:44,299
A good musician can blow anything.
She was good too.

453
00:27:44,383 --> 00:27:46,969
She taught one of the kids clarinet,
and me the horn.

454
00:27:47,052 --> 00:27:51,265
She used to beat our ears back too
if we didn't practice one hour a day.

455
00:27:51,348 --> 00:27:53,183
Sister Angelica.

456
00:27:53,267 --> 00:27:56,103
[chuckles]
She didn't have to beat my ears back.

457
00:27:56,186 --> 00:27:58,730
Because after at first,
you know, I liked it.

458
00:27:58,814 --> 00:28:00,315
Say, do you like a good trumpet?

459
00:28:00,399 --> 00:28:03,110
Well, I don't really know much about it.
It's my brother.

460
00:28:03,193 --> 00:28:04,528
Oh, I love a good horn.

461
00:28:04,611 --> 00:28:06,822
Why, if wasn't for the old ax,
I guess i could have been...

462
00:28:06,905 --> 00:28:07,906
What?

463
00:28:07,990 --> 00:28:10,075
The ax, the horn, the trumpet. You know?

464
00:28:10,159 --> 00:28:11,827
Oh. [giggles]

465
00:28:13,328 --> 00:28:16,874
Well, like i was saying,
I could have been a dead gangster by now.

466
00:28:16,957 --> 00:28:19,168
Yeah. Couple of friends of mine,
we grew up together.

467
00:28:19,251 --> 00:28:20,919
They ended up on a Jersey meadow.

468
00:28:21,003 --> 00:28:22,087
Could have been me.

469
00:28:24,006 --> 00:28:25,883
Say, um... [sighs]

470
00:28:27,926 --> 00:28:31,388
What would your family say if they knew
you were out with a guy like me?

471
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:34,683
Plenty.

472
00:28:35,309 --> 00:28:37,978
You oughtn't be here. I'm glad you are.

473
00:28:38,937 --> 00:28:42,900
You know some guys with bands, they'd
have half your clothes off by this time.

474
00:28:45,402 --> 00:28:48,071
I was taking a chance, wasn't i?

475
00:28:49,364 --> 00:28:50,365
[sighs]

476
00:28:50,449 --> 00:28:53,118
Well, what did you do it for? Kicks?

477
00:28:53,202 --> 00:28:55,412
No. No!

478
00:28:56,246 --> 00:28:57,873
Don't think that, please.

479
00:28:59,666 --> 00:29:02,836
I was just... interested.

480
00:29:03,670 --> 00:29:04,838
In yours truly?

481
00:29:06,715 --> 00:29:09,259
Well, you know, the boys i go out with.

482
00:29:10,135 --> 00:29:14,306
Well, when you fold a paper over and over
and cut out a paper doll...

483
00:29:15,349 --> 00:29:17,392
you get a lot of dolls just alike.

484
00:29:18,018 --> 00:29:19,228
Know what i mean?

485
00:29:20,103 --> 00:29:24,191
Well, I quit playing with paper dolls,
but i know what you mean.

486
00:29:25,317 --> 00:29:26,610
Well, you're different.

487
00:29:28,070 --> 00:29:29,529
What you're doing is real.

488
00:29:30,989 --> 00:29:32,908
Guess i respect you for that.

489
00:29:33,909 --> 00:29:35,494
Respect me for...?

490
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:38,247
[mumbles]

491
00:29:41,917 --> 00:29:44,419
And just to show you
how much i respect you i...

492
00:29:45,629 --> 00:29:47,339
I ain't even going to kiss you.

493
00:29:47,756 --> 00:29:49,341
And you're pretty too.

494
00:29:49,967 --> 00:29:51,677
Yeah, you're real pretty.

495
00:29:53,136 --> 00:29:55,472
Does it... does it hurt to play?

496
00:29:56,306 --> 00:29:57,683
No. Why should it?

497
00:29:58,809 --> 00:30:00,894
I don't know, I don't know.

498
00:30:03,605 --> 00:30:05,899
But i heard it somewhere.

499
00:30:07,401 --> 00:30:10,070
Doesn't it make your lips... sore?

500
00:30:11,196 --> 00:30:12,948
Now you want me to kiss you, don't you?

501
00:30:15,158 --> 00:30:16,493
If you want to.

502
00:30:22,457 --> 00:30:23,625
[moans]

503
00:30:24,418 --> 00:30:26,837
[breathing heavily]

504
00:30:28,755 --> 00:30:30,215
[door opens]

505
00:30:32,384 --> 00:30:34,678
Having a good time, sonny boy?

506
00:30:34,761 --> 00:30:35,762
Sure.

507
00:30:36,805 --> 00:30:39,975
Oh... this your car? i'm sorry, mister.

508
00:30:40,058 --> 00:30:42,227
Say, don't you know no better

509
00:30:42,311 --> 00:30:44,813
than to take a broad
to somebody else's car?

510
00:30:44,896 --> 00:30:46,273
Look, I said i was sorry.

511
00:30:46,356 --> 00:30:48,317
How do we know
you ain't going to steal the car?

512
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:50,402
From the back seat,
I was going to steal it, huh?

513
00:30:50,485 --> 00:30:54,406
- Your car was just handy, that's all.
- Yeah, I'll say it was handy.

514
00:30:54,489 --> 00:30:55,615
Cute chick!

515
00:31:11,882 --> 00:31:14,176
Come on! Let's get out of here.

516
00:31:14,259 --> 00:31:15,427
Charlie!

517
00:31:16,428 --> 00:31:18,263
-[groans]
- Charlie.

518
00:31:19,097 --> 00:31:20,640
[man] Come on, Johnny! Let's go!

519
00:31:32,402 --> 00:31:34,363
- Edith.
- Thank you.

520
00:31:37,282 --> 00:31:38,283
Joby.

521
00:31:38,367 --> 00:31:39,951
Joe! Do you think you should?

522
00:31:40,035 --> 00:31:41,703
Edith. We have to celebrate.

523
00:31:41,787 --> 00:31:44,039
He'll learn to drink at New Haven anyway.

524
00:31:44,623 --> 00:31:47,209
To my son on being accepted by Yale.

525
00:31:47,292 --> 00:31:48,585
Joby, I'm proud of you.

526
00:31:48,668 --> 00:31:50,587
I wish i could share your enthusiasm.

527
00:31:50,670 --> 00:31:52,297
Well, boola-boolal!

528
00:31:52,381 --> 00:31:55,133
- Mr. Slattery is here to see you, sir.
- Ask him in.

529
00:31:57,219 --> 00:31:59,596
- Come in, Mr. Slattery.
- Thank you.

530
00:31:59,679 --> 00:32:02,557
Well, Mike, this is a pleasant surprise.
Will you join us?

531
00:32:02,641 --> 00:32:05,018
Hi, Joe. There isn't time.
I've picked up the Evening Sun.

532
00:32:05,102 --> 00:32:07,521
Grayson's column,
the second paragraph there.

533
00:32:07,604 --> 00:32:09,481
"Dog days in Lantenengo County.

534
00:32:09,564 --> 00:32:12,401
For some reason Mike Slattery
is trying to convince the powers that be

535
00:32:12,484 --> 00:32:14,694
that one Joseph B. Chapin of Gibbsville

536
00:32:14,778 --> 00:32:16,863
ought to get the nomination
for lieutenant governor.

537
00:32:17,489 --> 00:32:20,742
Friend Mike must be getting in
society up Lantenengo Way.

538
00:32:20,826 --> 00:32:24,246
This Mr. Chapin is so high-and-mighty,
such a snob that..."

539
00:32:24,329 --> 00:32:25,497
Perfectly revolting!

540
00:32:25,580 --> 00:32:28,083
- I never even met this fellow Grayson.
- You been running out in front.

541
00:32:28,166 --> 00:32:30,001
Now the opposition
has had a chance to develop.

542
00:32:30,085 --> 00:32:33,130
- A cheap political columnist?
- That isn't what worries me.

543
00:32:33,213 --> 00:32:35,924
He's the mouthpiece for the powers that be
that he mentions here.

544
00:32:36,007 --> 00:32:37,300
What are we going to do about it?

545
00:32:37,384 --> 00:32:40,303
Luckily, Gorman of the Daily News
is in town. He hates this Grayson.

546
00:32:40,387 --> 00:32:41,888
Maybe we can get him on our side.

547
00:32:41,972 --> 00:32:43,682
Well, I'll be available all day tomorrow.

548
00:32:43,765 --> 00:32:46,518
I mean now, Joe.
We're taking him to dinner tonight.

549
00:32:46,601 --> 00:32:48,103
My car is outside.

550
00:32:48,186 --> 00:32:50,439
Well, just as you say, Mike.
You're the doctor. Thank you.

551
00:32:50,522 --> 00:32:52,065
Sorry to break up your evening, Edith.

552
00:32:52,149 --> 00:32:53,859
Perfectly all right.
We're very grateful to you.

553
00:32:53,942 --> 00:32:57,362
Don't be. This piece not only makes a
horse's hindquarters out of your husband,

554
00:32:57,446 --> 00:32:59,281
it also makes one out of me.

555
00:33:00,949 --> 00:33:01,992
Let's go, Joe.

556
00:33:03,285 --> 00:33:04,870
Hello, Ann.

557
00:33:04,953 --> 00:33:06,163
Hello, Mr. Slattery.

558
00:33:06,955 --> 00:33:09,499
Father,
could i see you for a minute, please?

559
00:33:10,375 --> 00:33:13,295
Well, I'm just on my way out, dear.
Will it keep till tomorrow?

560
00:33:15,046 --> 00:33:17,841
Sure. I guess it will keep all right.

561
00:33:27,100 --> 00:33:28,518
What's wrong with you?

562
00:33:29,769 --> 00:33:30,854
Nothing's wrong.

563
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:33,148
Why should anything be wrong?

564
00:33:35,817 --> 00:33:37,360
What is the matter?

565
00:33:38,403 --> 00:33:40,864
I'm just a little bushed. It's very hot.

566
00:33:41,531 --> 00:33:44,159
You've been mooning around the house
all week like a ghost.

567
00:34:25,367 --> 00:34:29,663
I want to put through
a person-to-person call to Atlantic City.

568
00:34:31,706 --> 00:34:34,084
Charles Buongiorno at the Regal Hotel.

569
00:34:37,212 --> 00:34:39,798
My name is... Ann Chapin.

570
00:34:42,300 --> 00:34:43,635
Oh, my dear.

571
00:34:43,718 --> 00:34:45,136
Congratulations, my boy.

572
00:34:45,220 --> 00:34:48,348
Now, you both sit down.
Make yourselves comfortable, yes.

573
00:34:48,974 --> 00:34:51,393
I have strudel
and some nice cider for you.

574
00:34:51,476 --> 00:34:53,353
- Oh, we were just going--
- Of course we will, Mrs. Hoffman.

575
00:34:53,436 --> 00:34:55,647
- That's very kind of you.
- Good. Come, Conrad.

576
00:34:55,730 --> 00:34:57,023
Coming, dear.

577
00:34:59,192 --> 00:35:02,195
Well, Mrs. Buongiorno,
where do we go from here?

578
00:35:02,904 --> 00:35:05,156
Back to Gibbsville and...

579
00:35:05,240 --> 00:35:06,741
Ah, your folks, huh?

580
00:35:07,659 --> 00:35:10,453
Well, first of all we're going to
have some strudel and cider, huh?

581
00:35:10,537 --> 00:35:11,580
Hey, uh...

582
00:35:11,663 --> 00:35:13,623
What kind of funny lingo is that anyway?

583
00:35:13,707 --> 00:35:16,209
Shh! They're Pennsylvania Dutch.

584
00:35:16,293 --> 00:35:18,753
- You get a lot of it around here.
-[chuckles]

585
00:35:18,837 --> 00:35:20,380
Wonder what my old lady would have said,

586
00:35:20,463 --> 00:35:23,174
me getting married by a Dutchman
instead of by a priest.

587
00:35:24,718 --> 00:35:26,553
Well, I hope it's legal.

588
00:35:26,636 --> 00:35:29,889
It's legal. You are stuck.

589
00:35:29,973 --> 00:35:32,684
I'm stuck. And you know something?

590
00:35:33,685 --> 00:35:34,811
I love it.

591
00:35:37,105 --> 00:35:38,732
[thunder rumbling]

592
00:35:41,693 --> 00:35:43,695
Love... love.

593
00:35:44,529 --> 00:35:48,491
Really, Ann, let's try not to be mawkish.

594
00:35:49,326 --> 00:35:52,370
Haven't you ever loved anyone?
Don't you know what it is?

595
00:35:52,454 --> 00:35:53,997
I know what it isn't!

596
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:57,459
My dear child, you're not
the first nice girl to lose her head

597
00:35:57,542 --> 00:35:59,085
over a completely unsuitable man.

598
00:35:59,169 --> 00:36:03,006
Mother, Charlie's my husband,
and I'm going to have his baby.

599
00:36:03,089 --> 00:36:05,050
Yes, the baby, of course,
does present a problem.

600
00:36:05,133 --> 00:36:06,926
- Not to me, it doesn't.
- To your father and me!

601
00:36:07,010 --> 00:36:09,387
People still count on their fingers,
you know.

602
00:36:09,471 --> 00:36:12,390
Why won't you let me see Father?
Are you afraid to let me see Father?

603
00:36:12,474 --> 00:36:16,061
It is your father's own wish.
He's talking to the young man.

604
00:36:16,936 --> 00:36:18,897
And i'm talking to you.

605
00:36:20,315 --> 00:36:22,525
Such a lovely honeymoon.

606
00:36:22,609 --> 00:36:24,110
[thunderclap]

607
00:36:26,446 --> 00:36:29,032
Maybe they'll like each other!

608
00:36:29,115 --> 00:36:31,201
Wouldn't it be funny
if they liked each other?

609
00:36:31,284 --> 00:36:35,163
Oh, Ann, please! Try and be realistic.

610
00:36:35,246 --> 00:36:36,539
Mother!

611
00:36:36,623 --> 00:36:40,877
My marriage is real, and the baby is real.
[sniffles]

612
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:42,921
Father isn't a monster!

613
00:36:43,004 --> 00:36:45,548
- Are you implying that I am?
- No!

614
00:36:46,257 --> 00:36:47,467
No.

615
00:36:50,261 --> 00:36:54,391
But you know how to hurt, and he doesn't.

616
00:36:57,811 --> 00:37:02,023
You have hurt your father
more cruelly today

617
00:37:02,107 --> 00:37:04,693
than he's ever been hurt in his life.

618
00:37:04,776 --> 00:37:07,737
There's never been a scandal
in the Chapin family before.

619
00:37:07,821 --> 00:37:12,242
And coming at a time like this
when he's fighting for his political life.

620
00:37:12,325 --> 00:37:15,161
For you to let him down, his favorite.

621
00:37:15,245 --> 00:37:19,249
His spoiled darling, his lovely daughter.

622
00:37:19,332 --> 00:37:21,459
Did he say this? That i'd let him down?

623
00:37:21,543 --> 00:37:24,003
- What's the difference? It's true!
- I know he didn't.

624
00:37:25,505 --> 00:37:27,132
Isn't it?

625
00:37:32,929 --> 00:37:34,639
[Edith sighs]

626
00:37:37,183 --> 00:37:38,184
[sniffles]

627
00:37:40,937 --> 00:37:42,272
What can i do?

628
00:37:42,355 --> 00:37:45,734
You can agree to the annulment
of this impossible marriage!

629
00:37:45,817 --> 00:37:47,402
My baby?

630
00:37:47,485 --> 00:37:48,987
Those things can be explained.

631
00:37:49,779 --> 00:37:52,699
You'll go to Europe,
stay there for a couple of years.

632
00:37:52,782 --> 00:37:55,910
We'll say that you were married
and divorced over there.

633
00:37:55,994 --> 00:37:58,788
Buongiorno,
could be a fine old Italian family.

634
00:37:58,872 --> 00:38:02,667
- We might even hint at a title.
- won't agree to that. Never!

635
00:38:03,710 --> 00:38:06,546
I want to see my father!
I want to hear him say these things!

636
00:38:06,629 --> 00:38:09,758
- I want him to say them to me!
- Ann, I think i've been very...

637
00:38:09,841 --> 00:38:10,925
[groans] Father...

638
00:38:11,009 --> 00:38:12,010
What's the matter?

639
00:38:12,093 --> 00:38:14,679
[sobs] I want Father.

640
00:38:14,763 --> 00:38:16,181
[thunderclap]

641
00:38:17,015 --> 00:38:18,016
[Peg] Mike!

642
00:38:20,143 --> 00:38:21,144
He's here.

643
00:38:21,227 --> 00:38:22,854
Good. When i buzz...

644
00:38:23,730 --> 00:38:25,565
You slip out through the back, Joe.

645
00:38:25,648 --> 00:38:27,108
I'm staying, Mike.

646
00:38:27,192 --> 00:38:29,319
Now, Joe,
what do you hope to gain by that?

647
00:38:29,402 --> 00:38:31,780
He's right, Joe. Let us handle this.
We know these lice.

648
00:38:31,863 --> 00:38:33,740
What we've dug up on him,
he'll never know what hit him.

649
00:38:33,823 --> 00:38:35,617
I want to see him for myself.

650
00:38:36,367 --> 00:38:39,788
All right, it's your party, Joe,
but let us do the talking.

651
00:38:41,456 --> 00:38:43,124
[buzzes]

652
00:38:43,583 --> 00:38:44,834
You can go in now.

653
00:38:47,003 --> 00:38:48,129
[sighs]

654
00:38:53,092 --> 00:38:54,302
Come in, son.

655
00:39:02,310 --> 00:39:03,394
Sit down.

656
00:39:07,148 --> 00:39:08,149
Here.

657
00:39:08,733 --> 00:39:11,694
- Well, what's this for?
- You can read, can't you?

658
00:39:11,778 --> 00:39:14,697
Personally, I think Mr. Chapin
is being extremely generous.

659
00:39:15,698 --> 00:39:18,868
Hey, what kind of a gag is this anyway?
I didn't ask for any money.

660
00:39:18,952 --> 00:39:20,954
Look, I want my wife
and i want to go home.

661
00:39:21,037 --> 00:39:24,082
Nobody's keeping you here.
You can go home, alone.

662
00:39:24,165 --> 00:39:26,835
Get this straight, buster.
I'm not taking any dough.

663
00:39:26,918 --> 00:39:29,546
Where is this guy, Mr. Chapin, anyway?
I was told to meet him here.

664
00:39:29,629 --> 00:39:32,173
I have complete authority to act
for Mr. Chapin.

665
00:39:32,257 --> 00:39:35,260
He wants you to take this money
and clear out.

666
00:39:35,343 --> 00:39:38,346
What kind of a guy is that, anyway?
Don't even want to meet his son-in-law?

667
00:39:38,429 --> 00:39:40,139
Not now, or ever.

668
00:39:40,223 --> 00:39:43,434
Even if he got rid of me, Annie's
gonna have a kid, ain't she? My kid!

669
00:39:43,518 --> 00:39:46,646
Exactly.
And that adds up to a serious crime.

670
00:39:46,729 --> 00:39:47,730
What crime?

671
00:39:47,814 --> 00:39:52,026
The girl is under 18.
Did you ever hear of statutory rape?

672
00:39:52,110 --> 00:39:54,946
I didn't even know she was jailbait,
and i married her, didn't i?

673
00:39:55,029 --> 00:39:57,407
When you had to.
I don't think that will impress the jury.

674
00:39:57,490 --> 00:40:00,243
Is that what you want to arrest me for?
Well, you just go right ahead.

675
00:40:00,326 --> 00:40:02,412
Juries ain't as dumb as all that.

676
00:40:02,495 --> 00:40:04,455
Mr. Williams here is a district attorney.

677
00:40:04,539 --> 00:40:06,749
I think he knows a little more
about juries than you do.

678
00:40:06,833 --> 00:40:09,377
I don't care who he is.
I'm calling your bluff, mister.

679
00:40:09,460 --> 00:40:11,004
With your record?

680
00:40:12,922 --> 00:40:14,674
What do you mean, my record?

681
00:40:14,757 --> 00:40:15,884
Tell him, Lloyd.

682
00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:20,722
-"Two arrests for petty theft."
- That was ten years ago.

683
00:40:20,805 --> 00:40:22,724
"Picked up on suspicion of armed robbery."

684
00:40:22,807 --> 00:40:25,143
I was only 15 years old.
I got mixed up with a bunch of guys.

685
00:40:25,226 --> 00:40:26,561
- I didn't know what it...
- Sure.

686
00:40:27,395 --> 00:40:29,439
Nice little bunch of professional gunmen.

687
00:40:29,522 --> 00:40:31,774
I tell you i haven't seen
those guys in ten years.

688
00:40:31,858 --> 00:40:35,236
- I never even touched a gun myself.
- You can always tell that to the judge.

689
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:38,114
You see what you're up against, son?

690
00:40:38,197 --> 00:40:40,658
You could get as much as five years
for this.

691
00:40:40,742 --> 00:40:44,203
If you play it our way,
you'll be clean and you'll have...

692
00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:47,749
It's up to you, boy.

693
00:40:49,876 --> 00:40:52,170
You guys have really got it
stacked against me, haven't you?

694
00:40:59,344 --> 00:41:00,762
This is a lot of money.

695
00:41:02,597 --> 00:41:04,682
You can always tear it up.

696
00:41:06,601 --> 00:41:07,894
What's that?

697
00:41:08,728 --> 00:41:10,813
I said,
you could always tear up that check.

698
00:41:11,439 --> 00:41:13,900
- Why don't you?
- Oh, you'd like that, wouldn't you?

699
00:41:13,983 --> 00:41:17,779
What do you want me to do? Go to jail
and be a hero or something? For what?

700
00:41:17,862 --> 00:41:21,824
Well... Well, I never took any dough
for what would you call it?

701
00:41:21,908 --> 00:41:23,201
Escort work?

702
00:41:23,284 --> 00:41:25,828
Well, if you know any other rich babes
who would like a little, uh...

703
00:41:25,912 --> 00:41:28,831
You know what?
Tell 'em i'm available at the same rate.

704
00:41:28,915 --> 00:41:30,208
Get out!

705
00:41:30,833 --> 00:41:32,919
Hey... Are you Mr--?

706
00:41:33,002 --> 00:41:35,004
Get out of here before i Kill you.

707
00:41:46,808 --> 00:41:48,643
[thunderclap]

708
00:41:51,062 --> 00:41:53,106
[thunder rumbling]

709
00:42:13,751 --> 00:42:16,129
- Where's Ann?
- The doctor's with her.

710
00:42:16,212 --> 00:42:19,048
Doctor? Is she-- is she ill? What's wrong?

711
00:42:19,132 --> 00:42:20,425
I don't know.

712
00:42:20,508 --> 00:42:23,011
I was just talking to her
as we agreed that i should.

713
00:42:23,094 --> 00:42:25,013
Billy, is she all right?

714
00:42:25,096 --> 00:42:26,723
Yes, she'll be all right.

715
00:42:26,806 --> 00:42:28,975
She had a miscarriage, that's all.

716
00:42:29,058 --> 00:42:30,768
Providential, isn't it, Edith?

717
00:42:31,561 --> 00:42:35,648
I called a nurse,
an extremely discreet one.

718
00:42:36,190 --> 00:42:37,900
Harry can pick her up at this address.

719
00:42:37,984 --> 00:42:41,487
- Billy, I want to see Ann.
- Later. She's under sedation.

720
00:42:41,571 --> 00:42:43,114
I hope she's asleep.

721
00:42:44,741 --> 00:42:46,868
Telephone, sir. It's Mr. Slattery.

722
00:42:48,161 --> 00:42:49,495
Tell him i'll call him back.

723
00:42:49,579 --> 00:42:51,039
No, no. I'll talk to him, Marian.

724
00:42:51,122 --> 00:42:53,791
Marian, will you ask Harry, please,
to pick up a nurse at that address.

725
00:42:53,875 --> 00:42:55,001
[Marian] Yes, madam.

726
00:43:01,632 --> 00:43:02,633
Yes, Mike?

727
00:43:02,717 --> 00:43:06,637
I thought you'd like to know
that other matter is all taken care of.

728
00:43:06,721 --> 00:43:10,141
Material evidence. There was
a little Dutch JP over in Pennsylvania.

729
00:43:10,224 --> 00:43:12,143
I called some of my connections
over there.

730
00:43:12,727 --> 00:43:14,270
I'm grateful to you, Mike.

731
00:43:14,353 --> 00:43:17,190
Doing favors is my business, Joe.

732
00:43:18,149 --> 00:43:22,028
Even though this one involved
the destruction of an official record.

733
00:43:22,111 --> 00:43:25,031
I've never done anything like that before.

734
00:43:25,782 --> 00:43:27,450
Well, I appreciate that, Mike.

735
00:43:27,533 --> 00:43:28,534
Good night, Joe.

736
00:43:28,618 --> 00:43:30,328
- Good--
-[hangs up]

737
00:43:36,918 --> 00:43:38,294
[door opens]

738
00:43:55,645 --> 00:43:56,771
Ann.

739
00:43:57,688 --> 00:43:58,940
Is Charlie here?

740
00:44:00,483 --> 00:44:01,734
He's gone, Ann.

741
00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:04,904
Gone? Gone?

742
00:44:04,987 --> 00:44:06,781
- He wouldn't go anywhere--
- Ann...

743
00:44:06,864 --> 00:44:09,700
Please, Ann, dear. Please listen.

744
00:44:11,077 --> 00:44:13,204
He was no good. He ran out.

745
00:44:13,913 --> 00:44:14,914
Ran out?

746
00:44:14,997 --> 00:44:18,167
I gave him a chance.
If he had torn up the check, I...

747
00:44:18,251 --> 00:44:19,460
What check?

748
00:44:20,753 --> 00:44:22,338
He took money, Ann.

749
00:44:22,421 --> 00:44:24,966
I offered him money and he took it.

750
00:44:26,217 --> 00:44:27,218
I had to.

751
00:44:27,301 --> 00:44:31,180
I couldn't let you waste yourself,
waste your whole life.

752
00:44:31,264 --> 00:44:34,725
I had to prove to you
that he was... worthless.

753
00:44:40,857 --> 00:44:42,066
All right.

754
00:44:43,025 --> 00:44:44,819
That's my good girl.

755
00:44:44,902 --> 00:44:46,320
All right.

756
00:44:52,326 --> 00:44:55,830
It was going to be such a wonderful baby.

757
00:44:58,207 --> 00:45:00,418
Strong and noisy.

758
00:45:01,419 --> 00:45:02,587
Dark.

759
00:45:03,588 --> 00:45:05,006
Talented.

760
00:45:07,300 --> 00:45:11,846
Such a strange baby
to be born at 10 North Frederick Street.

761
00:45:17,810 --> 00:45:20,146
I can't live here anymore.

762
00:45:22,273 --> 00:45:24,025
I'm going away.

763
00:45:26,402 --> 00:45:28,404
We'll talk about it later
when you're stronger.

764
00:45:28,487 --> 00:45:30,281
No, it's all decided.

765
00:45:33,034 --> 00:45:34,869
Going somewhere.

766
00:45:36,996 --> 00:45:40,666
New York... somewhere.

767
00:45:42,501 --> 00:45:43,669
Yes, Ann.

768
00:45:49,842 --> 00:45:50,968
Good night.

769
00:46:00,019 --> 00:46:01,562
Good night, dear Ann.

770
00:46:06,692 --> 00:46:08,569
Good night, my lovely daughter.

771
00:46:28,130 --> 00:46:29,924
Personally, I think we missed a bet.

772
00:46:30,883 --> 00:46:33,719
We could have had one good musician
in the family, anyway.

773
00:46:39,392 --> 00:46:40,434
[door closes]

774
00:46:43,813 --> 00:46:47,984
Gentlemen, this is my friend, Joe Chapin.

775
00:46:48,067 --> 00:46:49,068
[man] Mr. Chapin.

776
00:46:49,151 --> 00:46:51,237
I think you know
almost everybody here, Joe.

777
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:54,282
- I think so.
- You all know Lloyd Williams, of course.

778
00:46:54,365 --> 00:46:55,449
Hello, Lloyd.

779
00:46:56,033 --> 00:46:58,286
If you'll sit down, gentlemen,
I think we're ready to begin.

780
00:46:58,369 --> 00:46:59,412
[Mike] Joe.

781
00:47:06,627 --> 00:47:11,132
Now, Mr. Chapin...
in this room we're all realists.

782
00:47:11,215 --> 00:47:13,384
We don't kid ourselves,
we don't kid each other.

783
00:47:14,468 --> 00:47:17,722
I don't exaggerate when i tell you
that in this election,

784
00:47:18,264 --> 00:47:21,183
we could lose this state,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania,

785
00:47:21,267 --> 00:47:22,768
the whole Eastern Seaboard.

786
00:47:23,602 --> 00:47:25,855
I think i can trust you
not to repeat that.

787
00:47:25,938 --> 00:47:27,857
Nothing said in this room
is for repetition.

788
00:47:27,940 --> 00:47:29,191
We understand.

789
00:47:29,275 --> 00:47:30,526
Now, Mr. Chapin...

790
00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:33,487
the party is deeply grateful
for your generous,

791
00:47:33,571 --> 00:47:35,364
your extremely generous contribution.

792
00:47:36,032 --> 00:47:37,658
But please ask yourself,

793
00:47:38,492 --> 00:47:42,246
can we afford to gamble this year
on a man who is not a proven vote-getter?

794
00:47:43,039 --> 00:47:46,542
Or... forgive me for saying this...

795
00:47:47,543 --> 00:47:52,423
on a man who has had
an unhappy occurrence in his family

796
00:47:52,506 --> 00:47:55,676
that might become a public scandal
at any time?

797
00:47:56,969 --> 00:47:59,722
Well, that's our question.
And we're leaving the answer up to you.

798
00:47:59,805 --> 00:48:02,975
Of course, you don't have
to give it to us right now. We can wait.

799
00:48:06,103 --> 00:48:08,064
Gentlemen, I withdraw.

800
00:48:09,648 --> 00:48:11,150
I told them, Joe.

801
00:48:12,610 --> 00:48:15,321
I told them class would tell.

802
00:48:28,959 --> 00:48:32,171
Pow! Right in the chairman's lap.
[laughing]

803
00:48:32,254 --> 00:48:33,798
It was a good punch.

804
00:48:33,881 --> 00:48:35,966
Reminded me of the old days
in the coal mines.

805
00:48:36,050 --> 00:48:37,718
After he quit.

806
00:48:37,802 --> 00:48:39,095
What was the good of that?

807
00:48:39,178 --> 00:48:41,722
Now, Edith,
we're talking about Joe Chapin.

808
00:48:42,473 --> 00:48:45,017
You don't think he'd hang around
where he wasn't wanted?

809
00:48:45,101 --> 00:48:47,812
-[sniffling]
-"Gentlemen, I withdraw."

810
00:48:47,895 --> 00:48:49,438
That's Joe Chapin in three words.

811
00:48:49,522 --> 00:48:51,816
Exactly! [sniffling]

812
00:48:51,899 --> 00:48:53,401
Where do you think he is now?

813
00:48:53,484 --> 00:48:54,610
Where i'd be in his place.

814
00:48:54,693 --> 00:48:56,904
Off somewhere treating my wounds
with alcohol.

815
00:48:58,864 --> 00:49:01,200
- Edith...
- Oh, leave me alone.

816
00:49:01,283 --> 00:49:02,535
I'll leave you alone.

817
00:49:03,494 --> 00:49:06,038
Go easy on him, Edith, when he comes back.

818
00:49:06,122 --> 00:49:08,499
He's got nothing left now except you.

819
00:49:09,375 --> 00:49:10,459
Get out!

820
00:49:13,003 --> 00:49:15,631
[sighs]

821
00:49:22,888 --> 00:49:24,140
[knocking]

822
00:49:26,350 --> 00:49:27,351
Come in.

823
00:49:29,895 --> 00:49:33,315
Oh, pardon me. Where's the party?

824
00:49:33,399 --> 00:49:34,525
What party?

825
00:49:34,608 --> 00:49:37,236
Well, they said there was a party in 315.

826
00:49:37,319 --> 00:49:38,529
Oh.

827
00:49:39,822 --> 00:49:42,408
This is... 215.

828
00:49:42,491 --> 00:49:43,909
You've got the wrong floor.

829
00:49:43,993 --> 00:49:46,829
[giggles] My mistake.

830
00:49:48,539 --> 00:49:52,835
Say, what you doing,
getting drunk all by yourself?

831
00:49:52,918 --> 00:49:54,962
That's the general idea.

832
00:49:55,045 --> 00:49:58,424
It isn't good for a gentleman
to drink by himself.

833
00:49:59,925 --> 00:50:01,635
Well, why don't you join me.

834
00:50:02,845 --> 00:50:04,597
Don't mind if i do.

835
00:50:08,267 --> 00:50:11,437
I guess a gentleman
gets lonely on the road.

836
00:50:11,520 --> 00:50:13,147
What do you travel in?

837
00:50:13,230 --> 00:50:14,607
What do i travel in?

838
00:50:14,690 --> 00:50:17,359
You know. What do you sell?

839
00:50:17,443 --> 00:50:19,487
You're a salesman, aren't you?

840
00:50:19,570 --> 00:50:22,448
Oh. Yes, yes. I'm a salesman.

841
00:50:23,115 --> 00:50:26,577
At least i was until a few hours ago.
I just... quit.

842
00:50:27,203 --> 00:50:29,413
Well, what were you selling?

843
00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:32,082
Myself.

844
00:50:32,166 --> 00:50:34,752
[giggling] Oh, you're kidding.

845
00:50:34,835 --> 00:50:37,546
Why, is there any law
against selling yourself?

846
00:50:38,797 --> 00:50:41,091
Now, look, mister, you got me wrong.

847
00:50:41,175 --> 00:50:45,221
Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to imply
anything like that. I'm very sorry.

848
00:50:45,304 --> 00:50:48,432
I just meant i was trying to get a job.

849
00:50:49,058 --> 00:50:50,684
And it fell through?

850
00:50:50,768 --> 00:50:53,437
It fell through, and how.

851
00:50:54,563 --> 00:50:57,399
Say. You broke or something?

852
00:50:58,025 --> 00:51:01,153
No. Not in that sense of the word, no.

853
00:51:01,237 --> 00:51:03,948
Well, then you've got nothing
to worry about,

854
00:51:04,031 --> 00:51:06,784
a big, strong, handsome man like you.

855
00:51:08,410 --> 00:51:11,455
I'm Stella. What's your name, honey?

856
00:51:11,539 --> 00:51:13,541
Chap-- What's my name?

857
00:51:14,917 --> 00:51:16,252
My name is "Chump."

858
00:51:16,710 --> 00:51:18,170
-"Chump?"
- Chump.

859
00:51:18,254 --> 00:51:20,047
Joseph B. Chump.

860
00:51:22,007 --> 00:51:23,425
Now you're kidding again.

861
00:51:23,509 --> 00:51:25,719
You know what a chump is, don't you?

862
00:51:25,803 --> 00:51:29,014
He is someone who thinks
he can get anything he wants

863
00:51:29,098 --> 00:51:31,350
by reaching out and grabbing it.

864
00:51:31,433 --> 00:51:32,434
Just like that.

865
00:51:33,185 --> 00:51:35,020
Now, that's all right for a kid.

866
00:51:35,104 --> 00:51:37,314
But when a man of 50 does it,
he is a chump.

867
00:51:37,398 --> 00:51:39,149
And a useless chump.

868
00:51:39,233 --> 00:51:40,776
You're hurting my arm.

869
00:51:42,069 --> 00:51:43,320
I'm sorry, ...

870
00:51:44,029 --> 00:51:46,240
I frequently hurt people
without meaning to.

871
00:51:46,323 --> 00:51:47,449
It's my specialty.

872
00:51:47,866 --> 00:51:48,867
Look, mister, I--

873
00:51:48,951 --> 00:51:51,287
You think you can buy anything you want.

874
00:51:51,370 --> 00:51:53,831
All you have to do is put down the money
and it's yours,

875
00:51:53,914 --> 00:51:56,250
like dropping a nickel
on a pile of newspapers

876
00:51:56,333 --> 00:51:58,460
and walking off with the paper you want.

877
00:51:58,544 --> 00:52:00,588
You think everything is for sale!

878
00:52:00,671 --> 00:52:02,256
Everything in the world!

879
00:52:02,339 --> 00:52:05,884
Your daughter's husband,
the highest office in the land.

880
00:52:05,968 --> 00:52:07,261
Everything!

881
00:52:08,137 --> 00:52:10,848
All you need is a... nickel.

882
00:52:14,101 --> 00:52:16,437
I'm making a funny joke.
Why don't you laugh?

883
00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:17,521
[nervous laugh]

884
00:52:17,605 --> 00:52:20,983
Yeah, well.
It's been nice knowing you, mister.

885
00:52:21,066 --> 00:52:22,526
- Real nice.
- Don't go.

886
00:52:22,610 --> 00:52:24,320
I'm enjoying our "conservation."

887
00:52:24,403 --> 00:52:26,572
Our conversation.

888
00:52:26,655 --> 00:52:30,826
Well, you see, I'd promised these
gentlemen that i'd show up at this pa...

889
00:52:30,909 --> 00:52:33,996
I'm sorry, my dear,
I've been most inconsiderate.

890
00:52:34,788 --> 00:52:36,123
Here. Wait a minute.

891
00:52:38,751 --> 00:52:41,337
Here. For your time and the pleasure
of your company.

892
00:52:41,420 --> 00:52:43,422
But this is a hundred bucks!

893
00:52:43,505 --> 00:52:47,134
Go spend it on your heart's desire.
Buy yourself some happiness.

894
00:52:47,217 --> 00:52:51,680
Gee, thanks. Thanks a lot, Mr. Chump.

895
00:53:00,648 --> 00:53:02,274
[clock chimes]

896
00:53:04,234 --> 00:53:05,861
[chimes]

897
00:53:14,078 --> 00:53:15,704
Where have you been?

898
00:53:15,788 --> 00:53:18,624
Hotel in town. I got drunk.

899
00:53:18,707 --> 00:53:22,169
It never occurred to you
to let me know where you were?

900
00:53:22,836 --> 00:53:24,046
It occurred to me.

901
00:53:27,633 --> 00:53:30,010
- Were you alone?
- Yup.

902
00:53:31,261 --> 00:53:32,388
Oh.

903
00:53:33,639 --> 00:53:37,101
Did i have a woman with me?
As a matter of fact, I did, yes.

904
00:53:37,184 --> 00:53:38,435
I thought so.

905
00:53:39,103 --> 00:53:40,229
No, no, Edith.

906
00:53:41,772 --> 00:53:45,317
She just happened to walk in by mistake.
I gave her a drink and sent her away.

907
00:53:45,401 --> 00:53:47,152
I can just picture that.

908
00:53:48,320 --> 00:53:50,906
The way i was feeling,
I-I just wanted to be alone.

909
00:53:50,989 --> 00:53:54,618
I... I remember one time
you were angry with me.

910
00:53:54,702 --> 00:53:56,286
We were in New York.

911
00:53:56,370 --> 00:53:57,579
Oh, long ago...

912
00:53:59,498 --> 00:54:01,834
Fifteen years.

913
00:54:01,917 --> 00:54:03,001
That long?

914
00:54:03,085 --> 00:54:04,878
Yes, I guess it was.

915
00:54:04,962 --> 00:54:07,965
You stayed overnight in New York.
Remember that?

916
00:54:08,048 --> 00:54:09,258
Without me.

917
00:54:09,341 --> 00:54:12,511
I remember it... very well.

918
00:54:14,346 --> 00:54:16,265
Well, that time
you wanted to be by yourself.

919
00:54:16,348 --> 00:54:19,685
- And this time i wanted to be by myself.
- You're lying.

920
00:54:22,146 --> 00:54:25,149
- I never asked you what you did.
- Maybe you should have asked me.

921
00:54:26,191 --> 00:54:27,818
What are you trying to say, Edith?

922
00:54:27,901 --> 00:54:30,654
Have i aroused your curiosity?

923
00:54:30,738 --> 00:54:32,656
Well, that's something anyway.

924
00:54:32,740 --> 00:54:35,868
You've always been so smugly complacent
about me.

925
00:54:35,951 --> 00:54:39,747
I don't call it being smugly complacent,
I call it trusting you.

926
00:54:39,830 --> 00:54:41,582
I always have, and i still do.

927
00:54:41,665 --> 00:54:45,627
And it would be unthinkable for me
to have anything to do with another man?

928
00:54:46,336 --> 00:54:47,796
[stammers] Yes. I guess it would.

929
00:54:47,880 --> 00:54:48,881
Why?

930
00:54:48,964 --> 00:54:50,966
- Yes, I'd say that.
- Why?

931
00:54:51,049 --> 00:54:52,092
Why?

932
00:54:52,176 --> 00:54:54,803
Because you're not that kind of a person.

933
00:54:58,891 --> 00:55:01,059
What kind of a person am i?

934
00:55:01,143 --> 00:55:04,855
How long is it since you've
given any thought to me as a person?

935
00:55:04,938 --> 00:55:07,900
You-- You have good reason to know
that i'm not a cold woman,

936
00:55:07,983 --> 00:55:10,569
and wouldn't it take some of the wind
out of your sails to hear

937
00:55:10,652 --> 00:55:12,780
that somebody else knows that too.

938
00:55:16,408 --> 00:55:19,036
Are you trying to say
that you've had affairs with other men?

939
00:55:19,119 --> 00:55:20,913
Yes! I have!

940
00:55:24,041 --> 00:55:26,585
One affair. That time in New York.

941
00:55:27,419 --> 00:55:31,298
Edith, why did you decide
to tell me this now?

942
00:55:31,381 --> 00:55:33,050
Just at-- at this moment?

943
00:55:33,133 --> 00:55:37,012
Because... because you let
those politicians walk all over you.

944
00:55:37,095 --> 00:55:38,972
And because, just at this moment,

945
00:55:39,056 --> 00:55:42,226
I despise you enough
to tell you what i really think of you!

946
00:55:42,976 --> 00:55:47,397
I've wasted my life!
I've wasted my life on a failure!

947
00:55:48,941 --> 00:55:50,859
You're right, Edith.

948
00:55:50,943 --> 00:55:53,195
But you don't know why i'm a failure.

949
00:55:53,278 --> 00:55:55,197
You'll never understand that.

950
00:55:56,031 --> 00:55:57,783
What are you talking about?

951
00:55:57,866 --> 00:56:00,410
About a damned fool
who never, until this minute,

952
00:56:00,494 --> 00:56:04,039
learned what was important in life
and what wasn't.

953
00:56:05,040 --> 00:56:06,917
I wouldn't have made much of a president,

954
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:10,212
but i could have at least been
a good father.

955
00:56:10,295 --> 00:56:14,174
That's where i failed,
with Joby and with Ann.

956
00:56:15,092 --> 00:56:16,552
Above all, with Ann.

957
00:56:18,011 --> 00:56:19,054
If only i...

958
00:56:21,515 --> 00:56:25,143
Well, it's too late now.
There's nothing left of that.

959
00:56:25,227 --> 00:56:27,563
And long ago,
I guess i even failed with you,

960
00:56:27,646 --> 00:56:29,273
or you wouldn't have done what you did.

961
00:56:29,356 --> 00:56:33,026
Oh, and i suppose you're going to hold it
against me for the rest of my life.

962
00:56:33,944 --> 00:56:35,779
No.

963
00:56:35,863 --> 00:56:38,907
No, Edith. There will be no reprisals.

964
00:56:38,991 --> 00:56:42,411
Whether we like it or not,
we are both getting old.

965
00:56:42,494 --> 00:56:45,539
And i'm going to bed. Good night, Edith.

966
00:56:54,923 --> 00:56:56,133
Thank you, Karl.

967
00:57:04,266 --> 00:57:05,726
Arthur, a word with you.

968
00:57:05,809 --> 00:57:06,977
Yes, Billy.

969
00:57:07,060 --> 00:57:10,772
How long has Joe been taking
two double-martinis before lunch?

970
00:57:10,856 --> 00:57:15,944
Well, Joe's had a pretty tough year,
what with his son, then his daughter,

971
00:57:16,028 --> 00:57:17,905
and now this political thing.

972
00:57:17,988 --> 00:57:19,865
One knockout punch after another.

973
00:57:19,948 --> 00:57:21,283
And another one,

974
00:57:21,366 --> 00:57:24,036
a sort of a sneak rabbit punch
getting to be 50.

975
00:57:24,119 --> 00:57:28,832
[chuckles] You're not implying
that at 50, Joe's life is over?

976
00:57:28,916 --> 00:57:31,960
Well, it's foolish to say
that a man's life is over,

977
00:57:32,044 --> 00:57:35,881
while he has anything in him
to respond to new life.

978
00:57:35,964 --> 00:57:37,341
Where's that daughter of his?

979
00:57:37,424 --> 00:57:40,260
Ann? She's working
in a bookstore in New York.

980
00:57:40,344 --> 00:57:41,470
Does he miss her?

981
00:57:42,262 --> 00:57:44,473
He misses her like the very devil.

982
00:57:45,891 --> 00:57:49,603
You know, someone from the firm
has to go to New York next week.

983
00:57:50,520 --> 00:57:51,605
Maybe...

984
00:57:55,484 --> 00:57:58,362
[reporter] First scattered returns
from a few precincts in New Hampshire

985
00:57:58,445 --> 00:58:04,034
give Willkie, Republican, 168 votes,
and Roosevelt, Democrat, 107 votes.

986
00:58:04,117 --> 00:58:06,036
We repeat that these are scattered...

987
00:58:15,087 --> 00:58:16,129
[buzzer]

988
00:58:21,510 --> 00:58:25,055
Oh, I... i beg your pardon.
I wanted to see Ann Chapin.

989
00:58:25,138 --> 00:58:27,849
Ann's gone out.
She won't be back till late.

990
00:58:27,933 --> 00:58:29,935
Well, I suppose
i should have called first.

991
00:58:30,018 --> 00:58:31,353
I'm sorry i disturbed you.

992
00:58:31,436 --> 00:58:33,188
Would you like to leave a message?

993
00:58:33,271 --> 00:58:35,023
I thought i knew all Ann's friends.

994
00:58:35,107 --> 00:58:36,274
I'm her father.

995
00:58:37,442 --> 00:58:39,778
Oh. Would you like to come in, Mr. Chapin?

996
00:58:39,861 --> 00:58:40,904
Thank you.

997
00:58:45,701 --> 00:58:46,702
I'm Kate Drummond.

998
00:58:46,785 --> 00:58:48,537
I know. Ann wrote us about you.

999
00:58:49,371 --> 00:58:50,622
May i offer you a drink?

1000
00:58:50,706 --> 00:58:52,666
You probably have an engagement.

1001
00:58:52,749 --> 00:58:56,712
No. I was just going to fix myself
some dinner and curl up with a bad book.

1002
00:58:57,921 --> 00:58:59,131
I'm having Scotch.

1003
00:58:59,214 --> 00:59:00,590
Scotch is fine.

1004
00:59:06,763 --> 00:59:09,975
I suppose you know your father and i
were classmates at Yale.

1005
00:59:10,058 --> 00:59:11,059
Yes.

1006
00:59:11,810 --> 00:59:14,563
- How is "Father" Drummond?
- Father?

1007
00:59:14,646 --> 00:59:16,523
Did you know that was his nickname?

1008
00:59:16,606 --> 00:59:19,151
Oh, yes, but i never knew why.

1009
00:59:19,234 --> 00:59:20,902
We thought he looked like a priest.

1010
00:59:20,986 --> 00:59:23,780
I must say, he didn't behave like one.

1011
00:59:23,864 --> 00:59:25,115
- Soda?
- Please.

1012
00:59:26,408 --> 00:59:30,078
He refers to you as "Slats"?

1013
00:59:30,162 --> 00:59:32,998
"Slats." But that was a few years ago.

1014
00:59:34,041 --> 00:59:35,876
- Won't you sit down?
- Thank you.

1015
00:59:41,506 --> 00:59:45,218
I'm awfully pleased
that you and Ann have become friends.

1016
00:59:45,302 --> 00:59:47,471
We were never formally introduced,
you know.

1017
00:59:48,180 --> 00:59:50,599
We met over a cup of coffee
at the art club.

1018
00:59:50,682 --> 00:59:53,351
A couple of career girls on the loose.

1019
00:59:53,435 --> 00:59:55,062
I'm a photographic model.

1020
00:59:56,021 --> 00:59:58,231
I think i've seen you. Magazine covers?

1021
00:59:58,315 --> 00:59:59,858
I've made a few.

1022
01:00:00,734 --> 01:00:02,235
Miss Drummond, now that i am here,

1023
01:00:02,319 --> 01:00:05,989
I would like to pump you
a little about Ann. If i may?

1024
01:00:06,782 --> 01:00:08,408
You can try.

1025
01:00:08,492 --> 01:00:10,494
Nothing too awkward, I hope.

1026
01:00:10,577 --> 01:00:12,204
Does she confide in you?

1027
01:00:12,287 --> 01:00:14,706
I know about her marriage,
if that's what you mean.

1028
01:00:15,415 --> 01:00:17,167
Thanks.

1029
01:00:17,250 --> 01:00:20,087
You've saved me
a lot of devious questioning.

1030
01:00:20,170 --> 01:00:23,590
No doubt you have some preconceived ideas
about me.

1031
01:00:23,673 --> 01:00:25,801
- And my wife.
- Yes.

1032
01:00:25,884 --> 01:00:28,011
Wait till you have children.

1033
01:00:28,095 --> 01:00:30,555
You'll justify a lot of selfish acts

1034
01:00:30,639 --> 01:00:33,308
on the ground that you're acting
in their best interest.

1035
01:00:33,391 --> 01:00:35,769
I hope not, but probably.

1036
01:00:38,063 --> 01:00:40,148
And then you'll have to live with it.

1037
01:00:42,275 --> 01:00:46,363
I have to live with the realization
that i destroyed the happiness

1038
01:00:46,446 --> 01:00:51,284
of the one human being i ever loved
without reservation, without limit.

1039
01:00:51,993 --> 01:00:54,079
Don't you take all the blame, Mr. Chapin.

1040
01:00:55,455 --> 01:00:57,916
At least half of it belongs
to Mrs. Chapin.

1041
01:00:58,792 --> 01:01:01,253
Whoever is responsible,
it goes without saying.

1042
01:01:02,003 --> 01:01:04,798
I want Ann to be happy. Is she?

1043
01:01:07,217 --> 01:01:12,764
Ann is too loving
to be happy without somebody to love.

1044
01:01:13,640 --> 01:01:15,559
Does that answer your question,
Mr. Chapin?

1045
01:01:15,642 --> 01:01:17,144
The one you didn't ask?

1046
01:01:17,227 --> 01:01:20,355
No, she isn't in love with anybody,
not a bit.

1047
01:01:20,438 --> 01:01:22,190
I keep hoping it will happen.

1048
01:01:22,774 --> 01:01:24,734
So you can get her off your conscience?

1049
01:01:27,028 --> 01:01:30,365
I'd want her to be happy,
even if she weren't on my conscience.

1050
01:01:34,327 --> 01:01:37,789
Well, I think i've overstayed my welcome.

1051
01:01:38,874 --> 01:01:40,375
Thank you, Miss Drummond.

1052
01:01:41,710 --> 01:01:43,336
I'll tell Ann you were here.

1053
01:01:44,671 --> 01:01:45,839
Mr. Chapin?

1054
01:01:50,302 --> 01:01:52,929
I'm sorry i said that
about your conscience.

1055
01:01:54,014 --> 01:01:55,599
Ann's my friend. I guess...

1056
01:01:55,682 --> 01:01:59,269
That's all right. It's good to know
she has such a friend.

1057
01:02:04,774 --> 01:02:08,653
I bought theater tickets. It was
to be sort of a celebration with Ann.

1058
01:02:09,529 --> 01:02:11,239
Election night, it would have been fun.

1059
01:02:11,948 --> 01:02:13,366
It's a shame to waste them.

1060
01:02:14,868 --> 01:02:16,912
Or if you're really free this evening...

1061
01:02:17,621 --> 01:02:21,458
If that's an invitation, Mr. Chapin,
I'd like it very much.

1062
01:02:49,277 --> 01:02:50,612
Good evening, Roger.

1063
01:02:55,951 --> 01:02:57,244
Friends of yours?

1064
01:02:57,869 --> 01:03:00,372
I thought so,
but suddenly they don't know me.

1065
01:03:02,374 --> 01:03:04,042
They're just being tactful.

1066
01:03:04,125 --> 01:03:06,294
Surprised to see me
out with a pretty girl.

1067
01:03:07,587 --> 01:03:10,173
In fact a dish, and enjoying it.

1068
01:03:10,257 --> 01:03:12,259
- Are you?
- Can't you tell?

1069
01:03:13,093 --> 01:03:14,469
Well, from what I've observed...

1070
01:03:14,552 --> 01:03:17,222
You're observing a man
having the time of his life.

1071
01:03:21,851 --> 01:03:24,020

[reporter on radio] It now appears certain
President Roosevelt has been elected...

1073
01:03:27,315 --> 01:03:28,775
[cheering]

1074
01:03:28,858 --> 01:03:31,111
And now we take you to Hyde Park
for a statement by...

1075
01:03:31,194 --> 01:03:34,030
Joe! Joe, I didn't know you were in town.

1076
01:03:34,656 --> 01:03:37,033
Oh. Miss Pierson,
may i present Mr. Chapin.

1077
01:03:37,117 --> 01:03:38,660
- How do you do?
- Very pleased to meet you.

1078
01:03:38,743 --> 01:03:40,120
- Miss, uh...?
- Drummond.

1079
01:03:40,203 --> 01:03:41,955
Miss Pierson, Mr. Donaldson.

1080
01:03:42,038 --> 01:03:44,040
Well, how do you do?

1081
01:03:44,124 --> 01:03:48,420
-[Roosevelt over radio] My friends!
- Four more years of that!

1082
01:03:48,503 --> 01:03:49,504
Joe...

1083
01:03:49,587 --> 01:03:50,839
Surprised, Paul?

1084
01:03:50,922 --> 01:03:54,301
You can't be a professional
with an amateur, even a good amateur.

1085
01:03:54,384 --> 01:03:57,262
Maybe i shouldn't have said that,
in view of your own recent experience?

1086
01:03:57,345 --> 01:04:00,098
Oh, I've stopped thinking of myself
as the people's choice.

1087
01:04:00,181 --> 01:04:02,434
Those fellows really let you have it,
didn't they?

1088
01:04:02,517 --> 01:04:04,269
Well, it worked out for the best.

1089
01:04:04,352 --> 01:04:08,189
Well, we're off.
I want to get a good night's sleep.

1090
01:04:08,857 --> 01:04:12,193
The market's going to jump tomorrow,
but nobody knows which way.

1091
01:04:12,277 --> 01:04:15,864
Oh, uh...
I'm glad to see you took my advice, Joe.

1092
01:04:15,947 --> 01:04:18,575
Paul, I'll always take your advice
on the stock market.

1093
01:04:18,658 --> 01:04:21,202
Miss Drummond is my daughter's roommate.

1094
01:04:21,286 --> 01:04:22,871
Oh, I, beg your pardon.

1095
01:04:23,872 --> 01:04:25,457
- Good night.
- Good night.

1096
01:04:25,540 --> 01:04:26,541
Good night.

1097

He doesn't believe you.

1098
01:04:30,253 --> 01:04:31,963
I don't care. Do you?

1099
01:04:32,047 --> 01:04:34,132
You're a model in New York and unmarried.

1100
01:04:34,215 --> 01:04:36,926
People are going to talk about you
no matter what you do.

1101
01:04:38,636 --> 01:04:40,805
These gray hairs are your protection.

1102
01:04:42,057 --> 01:04:44,893
- I don't feel very protected.
- Why not?

1103
01:04:44,976 --> 01:04:46,895
They're just camouflage.

1104
01:04:47,854 --> 01:04:51,232
You'd never guess this kid
had a growing family, would you?

1105
01:04:51,316 --> 01:04:52,317
[chuckles]

1106
01:04:52,400 --> 01:04:54,194
You know, Mr. Chapin, really,

1107
01:04:54,277 --> 01:04:56,821
I just meant that until you said that
to your friend,

1108
01:04:57,447 --> 01:04:59,783
I'd almost forgotten
you were Ann's father.

1109
01:04:59,866 --> 01:05:00,950
What does that mean?

1110
01:05:02,577 --> 01:05:04,954
Well, you haven't asked me
if i was having a good time.

1111
01:05:05,038 --> 01:05:06,081
Well, are you?

1112
01:05:07,332 --> 01:05:08,625
Best in years.

1113
01:05:09,250 --> 01:05:12,587
Oh, go on. A girl like you,
you must have a million beaus.

1114
01:05:12,670 --> 01:05:14,381
No. Just one.

1115
01:05:14,464 --> 01:05:15,715
One?

1116
01:05:15,799 --> 01:05:18,009
I guess i must have Airedale blood.

1117
01:05:18,093 --> 01:05:20,136
I can only hear one whistle at a time.

1118
01:05:21,346 --> 01:05:23,765
Are you in love with this lucky "one"?

1119
01:05:24,933 --> 01:05:27,477
I suppose so, yes.

1120
01:05:28,103 --> 01:05:29,604
Are you planning to marry him?

1121
01:05:31,147 --> 01:05:32,899
Why do you ask me that?

1122
01:05:32,982 --> 01:05:35,944
Oh, I'm sorry.
I-I suppose i shouldn't have pried.

1123
01:05:36,027 --> 01:05:37,487
What's "pride" got to do with it?

1124
01:05:38,196 --> 01:05:41,157
P-R-I-E-D, pried into your affairs.

1125
01:05:41,241 --> 01:05:42,283
Oh...

1126
01:05:42,909 --> 01:05:44,119
Well, I don't mind.

1127
01:05:45,036 --> 01:05:48,790
I'm not sure that i want to be
married to him for the rest of my life.

1128
01:05:48,873 --> 01:05:51,793
And when i get married,
that's the way it's going to be.

1129
01:05:52,544 --> 01:05:54,921
Now i dislike this young man
with a whistle.

1130
01:05:55,463 --> 01:05:56,840
Why?

1131
01:05:59,426 --> 01:06:01,344
For giving you cause to doubt him.

1132
01:06:01,886 --> 01:06:04,139
That's no way to treat an Airedale.

1133
01:06:05,723 --> 01:06:07,308
[tapping]

1134
01:06:09,227 --> 01:06:11,146
The waiter is slapping his check.

1135
01:06:11,229 --> 01:06:13,982
When the waiter slaps the check,
he wants you to pay up and go.

1136
01:06:14,065 --> 01:06:15,942
He also reduces his tip.

1137
01:06:16,860 --> 01:06:18,570
Is it time to take you home, Kate?

1138
01:06:19,320 --> 01:06:20,780
How about one more dance?

1139
01:06:21,656 --> 01:06:24,159
- How about a dozen more dances?
- All right.

1140
01:06:25,034 --> 01:06:26,744
Waiter!

1141
01:06:26,828 --> 01:06:28,246
Yes, gentleman.

1142
01:06:28,329 --> 01:06:31,040
You know that stuff that keeps you awake?
What do you call it?

1143
01:06:31,124 --> 01:06:32,667
I'll get you some right away.

1144
01:06:32,750 --> 01:06:34,335
It's not for me. It's for you.

1145
01:06:34,419 --> 01:06:35,420
Yes, gentleman.

1146
01:07:20,590 --> 01:07:21,633
Wait for me.

1147
01:07:30,058 --> 01:07:31,809
You want me to tell Ann you're in town?

1148
01:07:31,893 --> 01:07:33,394
No, no. I'll call her tomorrow.

1149
01:07:34,229 --> 01:07:35,230
Well...

1150
01:07:38,107 --> 01:07:39,692
- Good night.
- Good night.

1151
01:07:42,320 --> 01:07:45,156
You want to kiss me,
don't you, Mr. Chapin?

1152
01:07:45,240 --> 01:07:48,034
At my age, a kiss has other implications.

1153
01:07:48,701 --> 01:07:50,954
At least the way i want to kiss you.

1154
01:07:52,330 --> 01:07:53,331
Yes.

1155
01:07:54,958 --> 01:07:56,918
Well, I can't imply any promises.

1156
01:07:57,919 --> 01:08:00,755
Or promise any implications,
or whatever i'm trying to say.

1157
01:08:01,714 --> 01:08:02,715
After all...

1158
01:08:02,799 --> 01:08:05,760
I'm Ann's father
and we met tonight for the first time.

1159
01:08:05,843 --> 01:08:06,970
Well, yes.

1160
01:08:07,053 --> 01:08:08,555
There'll be another time, Kate.

1161
01:08:09,472 --> 01:08:10,557
I'll be back.

1162
01:08:12,016 --> 01:08:13,268
I know you will.

1163
01:08:14,143 --> 01:08:15,353
Oh, I know that.

1164
01:08:16,729 --> 01:08:19,899
I'm way past where
I ever thought i'd be with anyone again.

1165
01:08:22,569 --> 01:08:24,112
Good night, dear Kate.

1166
01:08:27,198 --> 01:08:28,324
Good night.

1167
01:08:39,419 --> 01:08:40,545
The Yale Club.

1168
01:08:40,628 --> 01:08:43,339
Fifty Vanderbilt!
Fifty Vanderbilt Avenue.

1169
01:08:51,347 --> 01:08:52,765
[Ann] Hello, night owl.

1170
01:08:53,433 --> 01:08:54,809
Night owl yourself.

1171
01:08:56,060 --> 01:08:58,938
Oh. I didn't know you had company.

1172
01:08:59,022 --> 01:09:01,441
My brother Joby, Kate Drummond.

1173
01:09:01,524 --> 01:09:03,109
- Hi.
- Well, hello.

1174
01:09:03,192 --> 01:09:06,237
Joby just woke me up,
demanding bed and board.

1175
01:09:06,321 --> 01:09:08,656
So i'll move in with you
and he can have my room.

1176
01:09:08,740 --> 01:09:12,869
Having seen Kate, I could suggest
a more original arrangement.

1177
01:09:13,453 --> 01:09:14,871
-[Ann clears throat]
- Sophomore?

1178
01:09:14,954 --> 01:09:16,205
Freshman, Yale.

1179
01:09:16,289 --> 01:09:18,666
As of today, that is.
I seem to be flunking out.

1180
01:09:18,750 --> 01:09:21,544
That'll be a nice Christmas present
for Father.

1181
01:09:22,295 --> 01:09:24,297
Yale was his idea, not mine.

1182
01:09:24,380 --> 01:09:25,715
I know, Joby.

1183
01:09:27,508 --> 01:09:29,010
Well, I'm going to turn in.

1184
01:09:29,802 --> 01:09:30,803
Where's your bag?

1185
01:09:30,887 --> 01:09:33,890
No bag. All i need in the morning
is a razor and a toothbrush.

1186
01:09:33,973 --> 01:09:36,351
You must have an old razor
you shave your legs with.

1187
01:09:36,434 --> 01:09:39,145
You're so sophisticated and so vulgar.

1188
01:09:39,228 --> 01:09:40,229
And so wrong.

1189
01:09:40,313 --> 01:09:43,399
Oh, Kate, if you weren't
such an ugly old hag, I could go for you.

1190
01:09:43,483 --> 01:09:44,984
- Then swear off razors.
- Wow.

1191
01:09:45,068 --> 01:09:46,986
All my men grow beards.

1192
01:09:48,071 --> 01:09:49,614
Good night, sweet prince.

1193
01:09:49,697 --> 01:09:51,783
Something tells me i'm not getting across.

1194
01:09:51,866 --> 01:09:52,867
You are.

1195
01:09:52,950 --> 01:09:57,163
- Well, who's first in the bathroom?
- You. Extra toothbrush in the cabinet.

1196
01:09:57,246 --> 01:09:58,289
Well, good night.

1197
01:09:59,624 --> 01:10:00,750
Good night.

1198
01:10:05,421 --> 01:10:09,842
I hope you don't mind Joby.
That's just the way he talks.

1199
01:10:09,926 --> 01:10:12,011
Why should i mind?

1200
01:10:12,095 --> 01:10:13,221
I like him.

1201
01:10:16,182 --> 01:10:17,517
Who's your new fella?

1202
01:10:18,351 --> 01:10:19,894
What new fella?

1203
01:10:19,977 --> 01:10:22,355
The one you were out with.

1204
01:10:22,438 --> 01:10:24,315
Why should it be anyone new?

1205
01:10:24,399 --> 01:10:26,859
Oh, come on, Kate,
you stay out till nearly two o'clock,

1206
01:10:26,943 --> 01:10:29,946
and then you breeze in
with that look about you.

1207
01:10:30,029 --> 01:10:31,572
Do i, indeed?

1208
01:10:31,656 --> 01:10:33,574
Well, when you've been out with Howard,

1209
01:10:33,658 --> 01:10:35,159
you always come home

1210
01:10:35,243 --> 01:10:37,787
[singsong] dragging your tail behind you.

1211
01:10:39,038 --> 01:10:41,457
- You're an observant wench, aren't you?
- No.

1212
01:10:42,375 --> 01:10:44,293
I merely can't mind my own business.

1213
01:10:45,837 --> 01:10:49,507
This is just a friend of a friend
from out of town.

1214
01:10:50,299 --> 01:10:51,843
And you're not talking?

1215
01:11:01,310 --> 01:11:02,603
Good evening, Joe.

1216
01:11:03,438 --> 01:11:04,689
Good evening, Edith.

1217
01:11:04,772 --> 01:11:07,525
There's a postcard from Joby.

1218
01:11:09,360 --> 01:11:10,570
From Bermuda.

1219
01:11:11,279 --> 01:11:12,530
What's he doing in Bermuda?

1220
01:11:12,613 --> 01:11:15,241
He's staying with the Harrisons.
So is Ann.

1221
01:11:17,618 --> 01:11:20,455
Oh. How long do they expect to be there?

1222
01:11:21,080 --> 01:11:22,915
Over Christmas.

1223
01:11:22,999 --> 01:11:26,002
- I'll never get these cards answered.
- Over Christmas?

1224
01:11:27,378 --> 01:11:28,796
Is dinner ready, Edith?

1225
01:11:29,714 --> 01:11:31,466
You have time for another drink.

1226
01:11:32,383 --> 01:11:35,887
Oh, Edith, I have to run up to New York
tomorrow for the firm.

1227
01:11:36,888 --> 01:11:40,057
- I'll be gone two or three days.
- Whatever you say, Joe.

1228

-[music playing]
-[doorbell buzzes]

1229
01:12:05,625 --> 01:12:07,043
Hello.

1230
01:12:07,126 --> 01:12:08,211
Oh, hello.

1231
01:12:10,087 --> 01:12:13,674
- Well, may i come in?
- Of course.

1232
01:12:17,929 --> 01:12:21,766
I.. I have theater tickets
and a table at the Marguery.

1233
01:12:23,267 --> 01:12:25,478
I took a chance
you'd be free this evening.

1234
01:12:27,438 --> 01:12:30,191
I've been free every evening since i left.

1235
01:12:32,276 --> 01:12:34,654
And... the fellow with the whistle?

1236
01:12:34,737 --> 01:12:36,280
I stopped seeing him...

1237
01:12:37,156 --> 01:12:38,574
well, when you whistled.

1238
01:12:39,575 --> 01:12:42,495
Kate, I wanted to stay away.

1239
01:12:42,578 --> 01:12:46,082
Well, that's not quite true.
I didn't want to, but i tried.

1240
01:12:47,124 --> 01:12:50,628
I tried too.
I tried to wish you wouldn't come back.

1241
01:12:52,588 --> 01:12:54,423
[music ending]

1242
01:13:01,138 --> 01:13:03,015
- Like it?
- Wonderful.

1243
01:13:04,016 --> 01:13:06,727
Let's not stay for the rest of it.
Do you mind?

1244
01:13:06,811 --> 01:13:08,145
Not in the least.

1245
01:13:09,063 --> 01:13:11,440
- Where would you like to go?
- Just walk.

1246
01:13:12,942 --> 01:13:16,237
Somehow, I don't want
all those friends of yours staring at us.

1247
01:13:16,320 --> 01:13:17,655
Not tonight.

1248
01:13:23,202 --> 01:13:24,579
Cold?

1249
01:13:24,662 --> 01:13:25,955
Just enough.

1250
01:13:30,459 --> 01:13:33,045
I never knew what it was like before.

1251
01:13:33,129 --> 01:13:36,382
All these years i've heard about
people being in love, read about it,

1252
01:13:36,966 --> 01:13:38,634
but never felt it.

1253
01:13:38,718 --> 01:13:42,346
But when it happens, you know.
You're sure.

1254
01:13:42,430 --> 01:13:44,015
Yes, you're sure.

1255
01:13:44,098 --> 01:13:46,893
All the millions of men
it's never happened to.

1256
01:13:47,518 --> 01:13:49,103
And the millions of women.

1257
01:13:50,479 --> 01:13:52,481
But it happened to me.

1258
01:13:52,565 --> 01:13:53,983
It happened to us.

1259
01:14:06,162 --> 01:14:07,997
About 20 more miles.

1260
01:14:47,787 --> 01:14:49,246
So quiet.

1261
01:14:50,164 --> 01:14:52,041
Like the end of the world.

1262
01:14:52,124 --> 01:14:54,085
Arthur McHenry and i
used to bring the fellows up here

1263
01:14:54,168 --> 01:14:55,461
for the hunting and fishing.

1264
01:14:55,544 --> 01:14:56,921

- I don't know.

01:15:09,392 --> 01:15:10,434
Shh.

1268
01:15:13,104 --> 01:15:14,438
What is it?

1269

[whispering] It's a man in a fur coat.

1270
01:15:16,482 --> 01:15:17,566
A man?

1271
01:15:23,572 --> 01:15:25,032
Why, it's a bear.

1272
01:15:25,616 --> 01:15:29,203
You know, I'm so nearsighted,
for a moment I thought it was a man.

1273
01:15:29,286 --> 01:15:31,455
He's nearsighted too. Watch.

1274
01:15:32,873 --> 01:15:33,958
Hey, bear!

1275
01:15:57,023 --> 01:15:58,733
You promised to call me.

1276
01:16:02,236 --> 01:16:04,113
I must have slept for an hour.

1277

I couldn't bring myself to wake you.

- What is it?
- A present.

1280
01:16:17,793 --> 01:16:21,255
- A present for me?
- I don't see anybody else around here.

1281
01:16:21,338 --> 01:16:22,506
Open it.

- Of course.

I've always been like this:
Christmas and my birthdays.

1284
01:16:29,472 --> 01:16:31,057
A present's so wonderful...

1285
01:16:32,099 --> 01:16:33,642
lovely and mysterious...

1286
01:16:34,643 --> 01:16:36,437
before it's unwrapped.

1287
01:16:36,520 --> 01:16:38,898
And what's inside
is always a disappointment?

1288
01:16:39,315 --> 01:16:41,025
No.

1289
01:16:41,108 --> 01:16:43,986
But after all,
it's something that came from a store.

1290
01:16:44,070 --> 01:16:47,031
What's in this one
came from the heart, Kate.

When a fellow gives a girl a ruby,

1294

the least he can expect

Thank you, Joe.

This was presented to my grandfather
in India.

1298
01:17:20,940 --> 01:17:23,109
I had it made up as a pendant for you.

I never dreamed of anything so beautiful.

You can christen it tonight.

1301
01:17:31,200 --> 01:17:33,077
I thought we'd run down
to the lodge for dinner.

1302
01:17:33,160 --> 01:17:36,122
There's usually a crowd there
for the skiing.

1303
01:17:36,205 --> 01:17:38,499
- Do you think we ought to?
- Why not?

Go out together, where there's a crowd?

Oh.

1306
01:17:48,050 --> 01:17:49,844
I've been doing a lot of thinking.

1307
01:17:51,387 --> 01:17:54,932
We have to be very clear in our minds
just how things will be.

1308
01:17:55,933 --> 01:17:58,727
For us, and for the people we care about.

1309
01:18:00,646 --> 01:18:03,524
I can't go on living with Ann,
for instance.

1310
01:18:03,607 --> 01:18:06,610
I'll have to get an apartment of my own
somewhere.

1311
01:18:06,694 --> 01:18:08,946
That's where
we'll always have to see each other.

1312
01:18:09,029 --> 01:18:11,157
We can't go out together anymore.
Let me finish!

1313

Now, you listen to me.

I love you
as I've never loved anyone else.

Surely, deeply, completely.

Do you really think i'd stand for that?
You, my mistress?

Dodging your friends? In an apartment
on the wrong side of town?

It's my decision, Joe.
It's what i want to do.

i'll never let you do.

Kate, will you marry me?

How could we?

01:18:46,025 --> 01:18:47,735
I'll ask my wife for a divorce.

- Would she give you one?
- She might.

1325
01:18:51,363 --> 01:18:53,032
There's a reason why she might.

1326
01:18:53,532 --> 01:18:54,867
I can force the issue.

1327
01:18:54,950 --> 01:18:58,662

- I can't give you up. Not now.

I can't go back to Gibbsville,

I... I'm sorry.

1331

When a man asks a woman to marry him,

doesn't he usually wait for her answer?

You can stay for just a little while,
anyway.

He just made a perfectly natural mistake.

At what that young friend of yours
showed us.

1378
01:22:44,346 --> 01:22:47,724
He's just a baby,
a foolish, big-mouthed baby.

1379
01:22:47,808 --> 01:22:49,685
We should be grateful to him.

1380
01:22:51,103 --> 01:22:52,312
Grateful?

1381
01:22:52,646 --> 01:22:57,025

Maybe it knocked some sense into me.

Don't you see, Kate?

1383

Our getting married would be
just as bad as the other thing.

What it would do to your life?

Now, listen, Kate.

The rules are there for a reason.

1388
01:23:12,541 --> 01:23:14,751
Why do we always laugh
at the old character

in the cartoons?

about the old hillbilly marrying
some half-witted female of 11.

1392
01:23:22,843 --> 01:23:25,637
I'm not really half-witted.

1393
01:23:25,721 --> 01:23:27,806
And there's not that much difference
between us.

1394
01:23:29,266 --> 01:23:33,312
Enough so that our children would
only know their father as an old man.

1395
01:23:34,104 --> 01:23:35,981
Enough so that you'd be left alone

1396
01:23:36,064 --> 01:23:39,610
at the time you most needed love
and protection.

When you're as old as i am now.

That's why the rules are there.

Love isn't everything, Kate.

1400

Don't be unhappy, Kate. I'm not.

1404
01:24:33,205 --> 01:24:35,999
I can't tell you how un-unhappy i am.

You don't have to.
I'll stay out of your life, trust me.

Maybe i can't trust myself
to stay out of yours.

01:24:50,639 --> 01:24:53,475
I wanted to give you something
beautiful and extravagant.

1411
01:24:53,559 --> 01:24:54,935
I still want to.

1412
01:24:55,018 --> 01:24:59,189
I'm grateful to you...
for being all that you are.

1413
01:25:00,148 --> 01:25:03,569
Go on up now, and i know
when you're alone, you'll cry.

1414
01:25:03,652 --> 01:25:06,738
But Kate, we'll always have this,
won't we?

1415
01:25:58,290 --> 01:26:00,167
- Hello, Mr. Joe.
- Hi, love-boat.

1416
01:26:00,250 --> 01:26:01,960
- We didn't expect you.
- My mother here?

1417
01:26:02,044 --> 01:26:03,587
She's writing letters, I believe.

1418
01:26:08,008 --> 01:26:09,051
Thanks.

1419
01:26:09,635 --> 01:26:11,136
Why, Joby.

1420
01:26:11,219 --> 01:26:12,846
Mother, what's all this about Father?

1421
01:26:12,929 --> 01:26:15,098
Well, don't you think you owe me
the courtesy of--

1422
01:26:15,182 --> 01:26:18,977
I had a letter from Dr. English.
He says Father is very ill.

1423
01:26:19,061 --> 01:26:20,604
Dr. English hasn't even seen him.

1424
01:26:20,687 --> 01:26:23,273
That's just the point.
Some eye doctor had to tell him.

1425
01:26:23,357 --> 01:26:27,319
Father went to this man for new glasses.
He spotted a dangerous condition.

1426
01:26:27,402 --> 01:26:30,155
Dr. English told you all this, didn't he?
Weeks ago.

1427
01:26:31,114 --> 01:26:32,699
And suppose he did?

1428
01:26:33,659 --> 01:26:36,161
Mother, you're gonna make Father
get medical help.

1429
01:26:36,828 --> 01:26:39,289
Are you giving me orders?

1430
01:26:39,373 --> 01:26:42,459
Just because you're a sergeant,
or whatever it is,

1431
01:26:42,542 --> 01:26:43,710
do you think you can order me?

1432
01:26:43,794 --> 01:26:45,212
God orders you. Not me.

1433
01:26:45,295 --> 01:26:47,756
Oh, dear, dear, dear. [chuckles]

1434
01:26:47,839 --> 01:26:51,009
You must be higher than a sergeant
to be so close to the Almighty.

1435
01:26:51,093 --> 01:26:54,805
Have you even-- Have you even tried
to stop him drinking so much?

1436
01:26:55,847 --> 01:26:58,600
- Your father is old enough to take care--
- Has he had a hemorrhage?

1437
01:26:58,684 --> 01:27:01,812
You know what that is, don't you?
Has he ever vomited blood?

1438
01:27:07,401 --> 01:27:09,319
Why didn't you call a doctor for him then?

1439
01:27:09,403 --> 01:27:11,238
Because he wouldn't allow it,
if you must know.

1440
01:27:11,321 --> 01:27:12,781
You don't have permission
when that happens,

1441
01:27:12,864 --> 01:27:15,325
-you get on the telephone yourself!
- Stop yelling, Joby!

1442
01:27:17,494 --> 01:27:19,204
How do you think it's been for me?

1443
01:27:19,955 --> 01:27:21,665
The wife of a drunkard.

1444
01:27:21,748 --> 01:27:24,376
Never able to accept an invitation.

1445
01:27:24,459 --> 01:27:28,130
Listening at night to him fumbling
down the stairs for another bottle.

1446
01:27:28,714 --> 01:27:30,173
Have a little sympathy for me.

1447
01:27:30,257 --> 01:27:32,676
Maybe if you'd shown some for him,
this wouldn't have happened.

1448
01:27:32,759 --> 01:27:34,928
If you'd shown him just a little kindness,

1449
01:27:35,011 --> 01:27:36,847
-a little human warmth...
- Shh!

1450
01:27:44,688 --> 01:27:45,897
[Joe] Thank you, Harry.

1451
01:27:47,232 --> 01:27:48,233
Hello, Father.

1452
01:27:50,777 --> 01:27:51,945
Oh, Joby.

1453
01:27:56,992 --> 01:27:58,493
Good to see you.

1454
01:27:59,327 --> 01:28:01,121
Well, get a leave?

1455
01:28:01,204 --> 01:28:04,916
Well, I've convinced the general staff
the army can do without me for 48 hours.

1456
01:28:05,000 --> 01:28:09,129
Well, this is fine, just fine.
Come on, I'll-- I'll buy you a drink.

1457
01:28:09,212 --> 01:28:10,839
Oh, I wouldn't do that, Joe.

1458
01:28:10,922 --> 01:28:12,048
As i understand it,

1459
01:28:12,132 --> 01:28:15,093
Joby intends to spend the weekend
reforming you.

1460
01:28:16,803 --> 01:28:18,013
[phone rings]

1461
01:28:18,722 --> 01:28:21,683
Hello? Long distance?

1462
01:28:21,767 --> 01:28:23,769
Oh, yes. Yes, she's here.

1463
01:28:23,852 --> 01:28:26,646
Ann, it's for you, long distance.

1464
01:28:26,730 --> 01:28:27,773
Oh.

1465
01:28:28,315 --> 01:28:29,566
Excuse me, please.

1466
01:28:31,735 --> 01:28:33,445
Take care of his nibs, will you?

1467
01:28:35,280 --> 01:28:37,324
- Hello.
- Hello, Anna-Banana.

1468
01:28:37,407 --> 01:28:40,786
How's that vow of yours never to darken
the doors of 10 North Frederick again?

1469
01:28:40,869 --> 01:28:42,788
Good and firm, thank you.

1470
01:28:42,871 --> 01:28:44,289
Then i might as well hang up.

1471
01:28:44,831 --> 01:28:46,583
The old boy's in terrible shape,
Anna-Banana,

1472
01:28:46,666 --> 01:28:49,002
-and i've got to get back to camp.
- What's wrong, Joby?

1473
01:28:49,085 --> 01:28:52,798
I got him to see Dr. English.
He says it's a combination of things.

1474
01:28:53,757 --> 01:28:56,384
Me, I'd call it
a kind of galloping despair.

1475
01:28:56,468 --> 01:28:58,053
What can we do?

1476
01:28:58,136 --> 01:29:00,388
Give him a face to look at
that he really loves.

1477
01:29:00,472 --> 01:29:02,349
Get it down here as quick as you can.

1478
01:29:02,432 --> 01:29:04,810
Have Harry meet the express tonight.

1479
01:29:04,893 --> 01:29:06,061
I'll be on it.

1480
01:29:06,144 --> 01:29:07,687
I'll stay as long as i can.

1481
01:29:08,897 --> 01:29:10,273
Right! Right. Goodbye.

1482
01:29:10,357 --> 01:29:12,692
-[train bell dinging]
- She'll be on the express tonight.

1483
01:29:13,235 --> 01:29:14,986
[reporter on radio]
There's a good deal of speculation

1484
01:29:15,070 --> 01:29:17,197
over what will happen when Allied forces

1485
01:29:17,280 --> 01:29:19,241
finally effect a junction
with the Russians

1486
01:29:19,324 --> 01:29:20,992
moving in from the East.

1487
01:29:21,076 --> 01:29:24,955
Tonight the main weight of
the Allied Expeditionary Force's offensive

1488
01:29:25,038 --> 01:29:28,834
is shifting southward
toward Hitler's national redoubt.

1489
01:29:28,917 --> 01:29:31,211
General Eisenhower's headquarters reports

1490
01:29:31,294 --> 01:29:33,338
that the German armies
are in retreat everywhere.

1491
01:29:34,005 --> 01:29:36,091
- Meanwhile, General Bradley's...
- Come in.

1492
01:29:38,009 --> 01:29:39,219
Surprise.

1493
01:29:39,719 --> 01:29:42,013
[radio transmission continues, faint]

1494
01:29:42,097 --> 01:29:43,139
Ann.

1495
01:29:44,140 --> 01:29:46,560
- It isn't really you?
- Please don't move.

1496
01:29:47,769 --> 01:29:50,063
What on earth are you doing here?

1497
01:29:50,146 --> 01:29:52,065
I got homesick all of a sudden.

1498
01:29:53,149 --> 01:29:56,236
Well, that's fine. Here, sit down.

1499
01:29:57,779 --> 01:29:59,197
[radio clicks off]

1500
01:29:59,281 --> 01:30:01,157
I wish we'd known you were coming.

1501
01:30:01,825 --> 01:30:04,035
We'd have had some young people in.

1502
01:30:04,119 --> 01:30:05,662
I came to see you.

1503
01:30:06,872 --> 01:30:09,457
Oh, that's very nice of you, Ann.

1504
01:30:09,541 --> 01:30:11,167
Very sweet.

1505
01:30:12,168 --> 01:30:15,505
I'm afraid i'm going to start blubbering.
It's so wonderful seeing you again.

1506
01:30:15,589 --> 01:30:18,466
I think i'll smoke a cigarette,
if you don't mind.

1507
01:30:19,342 --> 01:30:21,511
Over there, in... in the box.

1508
01:30:24,431 --> 01:30:25,724
How's the bookstore?

1509
01:30:26,641 --> 01:30:29,019
Oh, just fine.

1510
01:30:30,437 --> 01:30:32,480
I'm becoming quite the businesswoman.

1511
01:30:33,273 --> 01:30:35,692
Last month, my accounts came out even.

1512
01:30:36,818 --> 01:30:38,320
I almost fainted.

1513
01:30:39,529 --> 01:30:42,908
- But you must have some fun too.
- Oh, well, I do.

1514
01:30:42,991 --> 01:30:45,827
I don't neglect the social side.

1515
01:30:45,911 --> 01:30:49,748
Next month, I'm flying out to California
to be maid of honor at a wedding.

1516
01:30:50,624 --> 01:30:52,792
<i>That's along way to go for a wedding.</i>

1517
01:30:52,876 --> 01:30:55,086
Yes, well, this is special.

1518
01:30:55,170 --> 01:30:57,839
My old roommate, Kate Drummond.

1519
01:30:59,966 --> 01:31:01,051
Kate?

1520
01:31:02,093 --> 01:31:03,762
You never met her, did you?

1521
01:31:03,845 --> 01:31:04,888
Uh...

1522
01:31:06,389 --> 01:31:09,726
I stopped by to see you once,
and she gave me a drink.

1523
01:31:10,602 --> 01:31:12,145
- Oh.
- A very beautiful girl.

1524
01:31:12,228 --> 01:31:13,229
Mm-hmm.

1525
01:31:14,564 --> 01:31:17,317
- And she's getting married?
- Yes.

1526
01:31:17,901 --> 01:31:20,820
To a very nice fellow
she met in Santa Barbara.

1527
01:31:20,904 --> 01:31:25,492
That's where she went when she left
New York, oh, about five years ago.

1528
01:31:25,575 --> 01:31:27,827
It was very mysterious
her running off like that.

1529
01:31:27,911 --> 01:31:30,872
Kate always had a sense of mystery
about her.

1530
01:31:32,040 --> 01:31:34,042
She isn't an open-faced sandwich like me.

1531
01:31:34,125 --> 01:31:35,126
[chuckles]

1532
01:31:35,210 --> 01:31:38,213
That's our trouble, yours and mine.

1533
01:31:38,296 --> 01:31:40,340
Everyone guesses our secrets.

1534
01:31:41,216 --> 01:31:43,802
- Father, you know Joby and i were--
- Have you seen her at all?

1535
01:31:45,512 --> 01:31:48,848
Yes. She was in New York last month.

1536
01:31:49,849 --> 01:31:51,059
Changed much?

1537
01:31:51,643 --> 01:31:56,314
No. Still the same.
Beautiful, smart and lovely.

1538
01:31:57,023 --> 01:31:59,109
- And in love.
- Yes.

1539
01:32:00,443 --> 01:32:01,444
No.

1540
01:32:03,655 --> 01:32:09,619
Well, there's a difference between loving
and being in love.

1541
01:32:09,995 --> 01:32:11,246
Is there?

1542
01:32:11,329 --> 01:32:14,582
Well, I'm sure that she loves Tom,
and he's crazy about her.

1543
01:32:14,666 --> 01:32:16,668
It'll be a good marriage.

1544
01:32:16,751 --> 01:32:19,295
But i wonder if she's really over
the other one.

1545
01:32:20,463 --> 01:32:21,589
What other one?

1546
01:32:22,382 --> 01:32:24,509
Oh, it was a long time ago.

1547
01:32:25,135 --> 01:32:28,430
She really had it then, a bad case.

1548
01:32:29,848 --> 01:32:31,224
He was married, I think.

1549
01:32:31,891 --> 01:32:34,019
She discussed this with you?

1550
01:32:35,520 --> 01:32:37,981
Not really. Only hints.

1551
01:32:41,568 --> 01:32:44,070
Well, let's hope she'll be very happy.

1552
01:32:45,030 --> 01:32:46,031
Yes.

1553
01:32:46,114 --> 01:32:48,742
Now, you'd better run along
and let your mother know you're here.

1554
01:32:49,951 --> 01:32:51,453
I suppose i'd better.

1555
01:32:51,536 --> 01:32:53,997
Go on... then come back.

1556
01:32:54,080 --> 01:32:56,541
We'll have a good talk, like old times.

1557
01:32:57,417 --> 01:32:58,501
All right.

1558
01:33:07,761 --> 01:33:11,306
You dear man... my lovely father.

1559
01:33:40,668 --> 01:33:42,587
[Joe's voice] When it happens, you know.

1560
01:33:42,670 --> 01:33:43,922
You're sure.

1561
01:33:44,839 --> 01:33:46,549
[Kate's voice] Yes, you're sure.

1562
01:33:47,342 --> 01:33:50,011
[Joe's voice]
The millions of men it never happens to.

1563
01:33:50,095 --> 01:33:51,721
And the millions of women.

1564
01:33:53,139 --> 01:33:54,474
But it happened to me.

1565
01:33:55,225 --> 01:33:56,768
[Kate's voice] It happened to us.

1566
01:33:58,561 --> 01:33:59,896
Good night, Joe.

1567
01:34:01,022 --> 01:34:02,524
Good night, my love.

1568
01:34:32,971 --> 01:34:34,097
Sergeant.

1569
01:34:36,391 --> 01:34:37,392
Colonel.

1570
01:34:39,185 --> 01:34:40,353
General!

1571
01:34:41,104 --> 01:34:42,313
What's the matter?

1572
01:34:42,397 --> 01:34:43,815
The guests are leaving.

1573
01:34:43,898 --> 01:34:46,609
If we're going to make polite noises,
we'd better go down and do so.

1574
01:34:46,693 --> 01:34:47,861
Wonderful.

1575
01:34:49,154 --> 01:34:51,197
- Oh!
- Oh, you are stinking.

1576
01:34:51,281 --> 01:34:53,324
- Maybe you shouldn't.
- Nonsense!

1577
01:34:53,408 --> 01:34:55,994
Never let it be said
that Joseph B. Chapin, Jr.,

1578
01:34:56,077 --> 01:34:57,078
could hold his liquor.

1579
01:34:57,162 --> 01:34:59,664
Oh, come on, Joby. Now, don't be foolish.

1580
01:34:59,747 --> 01:35:00,748
Come on!

1581
01:35:01,583 --> 01:35:03,501
I can't permit you to do this.

1582
01:35:03,585 --> 01:35:05,795
- No, let's say goodbye to them.
- No!

1583
01:35:05,879 --> 01:35:07,755
- Goodbye!
- Please, Joby. Please.

1584
01:35:08,464 --> 01:35:09,674
He'd be delighted.

1585
01:35:09,757 --> 01:35:10,800
Of course.

1586
01:35:10,884 --> 01:35:12,927
[Joby and Ann laughing]

1587
01:35:13,970 --> 01:35:15,054
Just a minute!

1588
01:35:16,389 --> 01:35:17,557
Don't go, anybody.

1589
01:35:17,640 --> 01:35:18,850
[Edith] Joby!

1590
01:35:18,933 --> 01:35:20,727
I want to pay my respects.

1591
01:35:21,394 --> 01:35:24,814
I've been remiss in my duties
as son of the house.

1592
01:35:25,273 --> 01:35:30,236
I want to express my appreciation
to all my father's wonderful friends

1593
01:35:30,320 --> 01:35:33,156
who did so much for him
while he was still alive.

1594
01:35:33,239 --> 01:35:35,408
- Come on, Lloyd.
- Just a minute, Mr. Slattery!

1595
01:35:36,326 --> 01:35:38,161
I want you to do me a favor.

1596
01:35:38,244 --> 01:35:40,205
I want you tell our friends here...

1597
01:35:42,332 --> 01:35:45,501
how you cut my father's throat
with a dull knife.

1598
01:35:45,585 --> 01:35:47,212
[guests gasping]

1599
01:35:47,795 --> 01:35:49,047
Go on! Why don't you tell him?

1600
01:35:49,923 --> 01:35:51,966
Governor, you tell him!
You were there too.

1601
01:35:52,050 --> 01:35:54,093
Or you, Mr. Hooker, our fighting editor.

1602
01:35:54,177 --> 01:35:56,346
Joby, how dare you?

1603
01:35:57,013 --> 01:35:59,390
- I'm so sorry! He's not himself.
- And here,

1604
01:35:59,474 --> 01:36:02,018
here's the greatest friend he ever had!

1605
01:36:02,101 --> 01:36:03,436
His loving wife.

1606
01:36:04,187 --> 01:36:07,273
His shy, dutiful, retiring wife.

1607
01:36:08,191 --> 01:36:10,401
All she ever did to him was murder him.

1608
01:36:10,485 --> 01:36:12,946
- Joby, for heaven's sake!
- Well, it's true, isn't it, Uncle Arthur?

1609
01:36:13,029 --> 01:36:15,240
You know she murdered him.
Dr. English knows.

1610
01:36:15,323 --> 01:36:17,825
- Joby!
- She knows, and how she knows.

1611
01:36:17,909 --> 01:36:20,495
Stop it, Joby!
You apologize to your mother.

1612
01:36:20,578 --> 01:36:23,122
[laughing] Madam.

1613
01:36:24,290 --> 01:36:28,419
I humbly apologize
for saying so rudely in public...

1614
01:36:29,671 --> 01:36:32,966
what i intended to say
even more rudely in private.

1615
01:36:44,102 --> 01:36:45,186
[guests gasp]

1616
01:36:46,938 --> 01:36:48,147
- Joby.
- I'll take care of him.

1617
01:36:48,231 --> 01:36:50,149
Just get everybody out of here, Uncle.

1618
01:36:55,947 --> 01:36:57,198
Be right with you, Harry.

1619
01:37:00,368 --> 01:37:02,578
- Goodbye, Anna-Banana.
- Goodbye, Joby.

1620
01:37:02,662 --> 01:37:06,874
Oh! Wow, it's a funny time of night
to have a hangover.

1621
01:37:06,958 --> 01:37:09,252
[laughs] I should never touch the stuff.

1622
01:37:10,295 --> 01:37:13,881
- If Madam says anything...
- She won't. You said it all.

1623
01:37:17,385 --> 01:37:20,430
Well, I guess this is the last time
I'll ever see the old barn.

1624
01:37:21,055 --> 01:37:22,682
The last of the Chapins.

1625
01:37:23,516 --> 01:37:25,435
Not me, I don't count.

1626
01:37:25,518 --> 01:37:26,519
Father was the last.

1627
01:37:27,270 --> 01:37:29,272
The last Chapin of Frederick Street.

1628
01:37:30,481 --> 01:37:32,233
They don't make 'em like him anymore.

1629
01:37:34,319 --> 01:37:35,987
You'd better go inside. You'll catch cold.

1630
01:37:36,070 --> 01:37:37,155
I wish...

1631
01:37:38,823 --> 01:37:42,160
- You wish what?
- I wish he'd had something, Joby.

1632
01:37:42,785 --> 01:37:44,078
These last years.

1633
01:37:44,996 --> 01:37:47,874
Some... moment of triumph.

1634
01:37:49,042 --> 01:37:50,501
It was all defeats.

1635
01:37:51,669 --> 01:37:54,464
If he could have had
just one small victory.

1636
01:37:56,591 --> 01:37:58,634
You know what his real trouble was?

1637
01:38:00,219 --> 01:38:02,680
He couldn't take advantage.

1638
01:38:03,890 --> 01:38:05,308
He was a gentleman.

1639
01:38:06,434 --> 01:38:08,686
In a world that has no further use
for gentlemen.

1640
01:38:11,189 --> 01:38:12,607
Goodbye, Joby.

1641
01:38:13,483 --> 01:38:15,860
- Take care, Anna-Banana.
- Take care.

1642
01:38:16,819 --> 01:38:18,237
Oh, and give my love to Kate.

1643
01:38:19,614 --> 01:38:20,698
You get in, Harry.

1644
01:38:23,826 --> 01:38:25,161
[engine starts]

1645
01:38:27,080 --> 01:38:28,748
-[knocking]
- Come in.

1646
01:38:32,668 --> 01:38:33,795
Five-minute warning.

1647
01:38:33,878 --> 01:38:36,005
All right. I'm nearly ready.

1648
01:38:37,006 --> 01:38:39,550
Oh, Kate. You look so...

1649
01:38:40,343 --> 01:38:43,137
- I can't tell you how you look.
- Starry-eyed, I hope.

1650
01:38:43,221 --> 01:38:46,349
Well, everything you should look,
including starry-eyed.

1651
01:38:46,974 --> 01:38:48,434
Thanks.

1652
01:38:48,518 --> 01:38:50,978
I still have a few things
to throw in my overnight bag.

1653
01:38:51,062 --> 01:38:52,605
Oh, can i help you with something?

1654
01:38:52,688 --> 01:38:54,690
Uh, my jewel case. Over there.

1655
01:39:00,405 --> 01:39:02,490
Hey, where did you ever get this ruby?

1656
01:39:04,033 --> 01:39:06,327
Isn't it something new?
Did Tom give it to you?

1657
01:39:07,662 --> 01:39:10,289
No. I've had it quite a while.

1658
01:39:11,207 --> 01:39:13,334
You didn't have it in New York.

1659
01:39:13,418 --> 01:39:15,253
At least i haven't seen it before.

1660
01:39:17,713 --> 01:39:18,756
Or have i?

1661
01:39:20,216 --> 01:39:21,551
I never wear it, Ann.

1662
01:39:23,511 --> 01:39:26,264
It's something to look at and touch.

1663
01:39:30,309 --> 01:39:32,186
I'm leaving it to you in my will.

1664
01:39:33,396 --> 01:39:35,481
I wouldn't want it to go to anyone else.

1665
01:39:40,820 --> 01:39:42,822
Kate, did my father give you the ruby?

1666
01:39:45,908 --> 01:39:46,993
Yes.

1667
01:39:48,411 --> 01:39:50,413
He was the one you fell in love with?

1668
01:39:51,873 --> 01:39:53,207
Yes.

1669
01:39:53,291 --> 01:39:54,333
Oh, Kate.

1670
01:39:55,793 --> 01:39:57,879
- You don't mind?
- Mind?

1671
01:39:58,963 --> 01:40:00,631
Of course i don't mind.

1672
01:40:01,924 --> 01:40:03,259
If you only knew.

1673
01:40:04,051 --> 01:40:05,052
I...

1674
01:40:07,513 --> 01:40:10,808
Kate, the night he died,
we were talking about you.

1675
01:40:12,018 --> 01:40:14,645
And he asked so many questions.
I wondered why.

1676
01:40:14,729 --> 01:40:17,231
But now i understand it all, Kate.

1677
01:40:18,649 --> 01:40:21,861
That's why you left New York.
You were running away from him.

1678
01:40:22,737 --> 01:40:23,946
Not quite, Ann.

1679
01:40:26,032 --> 01:40:27,325
He sent me away.

1680
01:40:29,368 --> 01:40:31,412
I'd have done anything he wanted.

1681
01:40:32,872 --> 01:40:34,081
He made the decision.

1682
01:40:35,750 --> 01:40:37,126
Yes, of course.

1683
01:40:39,921 --> 01:40:41,631
His little book of rules.

1684
01:40:43,674 --> 01:40:46,552
It couldn't have ended any other way
with my father.

1685
01:40:47,512 --> 01:40:51,432
My poor, dear, stuffed-shirt father.

1686
01:40:51,516 --> 01:40:52,642
Ann.

1687
01:40:53,976 --> 01:40:56,395
A stuffed-shirt didn't give me this.

1688
01:40:56,479 --> 01:40:59,273
-[knocking]
-[man] Kate! Kate, we're all ready!

1689
01:41:01,609 --> 01:41:02,693
Coming!

1690
01:41:08,449 --> 01:41:09,534
Kate.

1691
01:41:11,035 --> 01:41:14,288
Rubies...
rubies aren't good enough for you.

1692
01:41:17,250 --> 01:41:18,876
Come on.

1693
01:41:18,960 --> 01:41:20,836
We mustn't keep them waiting.
