All language subtitles for Stowaway.1936

As magistrate of this village...

it is my duty to warn you that Hi Chung,
the bandit, is on his way here.

Thank you for telling us.

- Shall I pack?
- No.

- But, Alfred-
- We are missionaries.

Providence sent us here
to fight evil, not flee from it.

Will you allow me to take
little Ching-Ching out of harm's way?

Barbara will remain here
with us.

And I wish you would not
refer to her as Ching-Ching.

Mr. Kruikshank, you may do as you wish
with your own life...

but Ching- Barbara is a child.

Her honorable parents
were my friends.

I know...

but they did not desert their post
when danger threatened.

No. And they were killed.

Please. Alfred.

I have decided.

Greetings,
most honorable Sun Lo.

Greetings, Ching-Ching.

May your shadow lengthen always
in the sun of happiness.

Thank you.

May the bird of prosperity
continue to nest in your rooftop.

I hope you will always remember
the sayings of our wise men.

I will because
you taught them to me.

It was a great privilege
to instruct the daughter of my friends-

your honorable father and mother.

Friendship is a tree of shelter
from the rains of trouble.

Yes.

And so it is my wish
to protect you from trouble...

that may be here very soon.

- What kind of trouble?
- Bad men.

- There will be looting and destruction.
- Oh!

I have arranged for Chang
to take you...

to the home of my honorable
brother in Shanghai.

Shanghai?
Oh, that's wonderful!

I remember all the beautiful stories
my daddy used to tell me about it.

But...

I'm afraid I'll have to ask Mr. Kruikshank
for his permission.

You know,
he's awfully strict with me.

Don't worry about that,
my little one.

I will satisfactorily
explain for you.

You will?
Oh, thank you, most honorable Sun Lo.

Good-bye, my little friend.

I shall see you very soon.

And until then,
the memory of you...

will bloom like a flower
in the garden of my heart.

Shh. I know you're hungry,
but stop barking.

Your stomach has no ears.

Where's Chang?

Chang.

Oh, Chang.

Chang.

I guess he went for breakfast.

And that's what you want, isn't it?

Hey! Hey!

As Sun Lo says, "One cannot eat gold,
but one cannot eat without it. "

Come on, Mr. Wu.
We'll find something to eat.

No, no, no.

Is there anyone here who speaks English?
I want to buy something.

Look, I want to buy...

a dragon's head.

Head.
Though I can't imagine why.

No. Me likee buy
one piecee dragon head.

Catch on?

Lookee. Dragon.

Head. See?

Isn't there anyone around here
who can understand English?

I can, mister.

Well, hello there.

You wouldn't by any chance be able
to understand Chinese too, would you?

Can you ask him how much
he wants for this?

He says $15.

- Fifteen dollars.
- No, no!

- What's wrong now?
- He's trying to cheat you.

The price is five dollars.
Look.

Oh, yes, so it is.

Five dollars.

Huh?

As Sun Lo says,
"All things have two prices.

One for the foolish. "

You know, you look so young,
but you talk so old.

- How come?
- In a junk from Sanchow.

No, I meant how come you-
Oh, well.

I guess we don't talk the same language-
in more ways than one.

You've been so nice to me.
I'd like to buy you something.

What shall it be?

Come on.
What would you like?

A soup bone.

- A what?
- A soup bone for my dog.

He's awful hungry.

You'll never get ahead in life
if you go around asking for bones.

Look, do you think
your mother would mind...

if you, uh, joined us
in a soup bone?

I haven't got any mother.

Oh.

Well, your father or family?

- I haven't any family. I haven't even got Chang.
- Who's Chang?

He brought me from Sanchow,
and then he ran away with my money.

Oh, a lady in distress.
Just my specialty.

Well, you come along
with us to lunch...

and then you can tell me all about it.

Thank you,
but I couldn't eat any lunch.

- Why not?
- 'Cause I haven't had breakfast yet.

Madam.

Menu, please.

There's the menu up there.

- No, it's all Greek to me.
- No, it's Chinese.

Well, you go ahead and order for Mr. Wu
and your Uncle Tommy.

All right.

Those things cost a lot.
Have you got enough money?

Too much, so I'm told.

I told him to make it
two soup bones.

Do you live here,
Uncle Tommy?

No. I'm just here for today.
My boat sails tonight.

- Going home?
- No. Just traveling around. No place in particular.

- You must be an orphan too.
- No, unfortunately not.

You mean you don't like
your father and mother?

Well, it seems
that we get along better...

with a couple of thousand miles
between us.

So there they are,
and here I am...

and everybody's happy...
more or less.

There you are, Mr. Wu.

Tsk, tsk, tsk. You certainly
are extravagant, Ching-Ching.

Thank you.

What's "stravagant" mean,
Uncle Tommy?

That means you're pretty nice.

- Then I think you're stravagant too.
- Thank you.

I promised to pick up
some friends here.

Before I drive them back to the boat,
I'm gonna get you straightened out.

- Will you wait?
- Sun Lo says, "Patience is like wealth.

Many talk about it,
but few possess it. "

Sun Lo's quite
a conversationalist, isn't he?

- I don't know, but he talks a lot.
- Aw.

Ah! Hail to the chief!

- Hello, Tommy!
- Kay.

- Tommy, darling.
- Dora.

- Ah!
- Colonel, have you been drinking?

Oh, a mere aperitif.
A soupçon of brandy.

Yes, master?

Bring us flagons
of your rarest nectar...

and bring it with the speed
of an antelope.

We perish. We swoon.

Yes, master.
Black Label all around?

- Right.
- Not for me.

Do these old ears hear aright?

Could it be possible that Thomas, the
pride of the Randalls, has refused a drink?

- Right.
- My boy, are you ill?

Uh-uh. In fact, I'm still under
the spell of a good woman.

Mr. Wu! Mr. Wu!

You come back here
this very minute.

Mr. Wu!

Mr. Wu! Mr. Wu!

Tell me, Tommy, now where did you
find this good woman?

I didn't know
there were any more left.

Well, come on outside, and I'll introduce
you. But remember, I saw her first.

What about us?
Can't we go too?

Sure. Come on.
It'll do you good.

Now, remember, Colonel,
none of your Rabelaisian lip.

This girl has led
a very sheltered life.

My good fellow, as if
I ever said anything...

that would raise a faint blush
on the cheek of-

Hmm.
Looks like she stood you up.

Nice goings-on, I must say.

Ah, here she is. Hey.

Why don't you go all the way in?
Maybe she's down cellar.

- That's funny.
- Well, at least she left you the car.

Sometimes they don't
even do that.

- She must be around someplace.
- Come on. Let's go on in.

When you find her, just yell,
because we'll be at the bar.

Now, let her go, lad.

Better fish in the sea.

You know, this reminds me
of an experience I had in Kansas City.

I met this little lady-
very fine, very demure.

Mr. Wu, you oughta
be ashamed.

Swish. Swish.

Just like a lullaby, hey, Colonel?

A Chinese lullaby.

Oh, there you are, Mr. Randall, sir.

Little Lord Fauntleroy.

Go away, Atkins.
I don't want to talk to you.

No, please, sir.
Your car-We must get it aboard at once.

The captain's holding up
the boat, sir.

All on account of you, Atkins.

You're a heedless,
thoughtless butterfly.

No consideration
for others. No-

I thought so.
Colonel, this man's been drinking.

Now, please, sir, please.
We must hurry, sir. Now, please.

- See here. Oh!
- Steady, Atkins. Steady.

Now, now, Tommy.
We mustn't be too harsh with him.

I used to have
an uncle that drank.

- It's a madness in the blood.
- Yeah.

Please, sir.
I can walk for myself, sir.

You'll be all right,
but you mustn't shout like that.

No, you've been
over-imbibing, ain't ya?

We'll get you back on
the boat safe and sound.

Really, sir.
I'm quite all right.

I can really get there
by myself, thank you, sir.

Aktins, you're a disgrace.
Get in there.

- It's quite all right.
- Get in, Tommy, and hold him there.

- I can do it all myself, sir.
- The man goes out and gets drunk.

- I'm not drunk. I assure you.
- Are you sober enough to drive?

- I'm all right, sir.
- Look out!

I could've sworn
I heard something.

- I bet it's a stowaway.
- Who's there?

If there's anybody
down here, let's find 'em.

You search behind the sacks.
You too.

You check behind the cars.

Steward! Steward!

We found a stowaway in the hold, sir.
But he got away.

Very well.

Jenkins, spread a general alarm.

- We seem to have stowaways aboard.
- At once, sir.

Come in.

- Right there, steward.
- Yes, missy.

You were told to watch
for stowaways before we sailed.

- I did, sir.
- Well, if we find one, you'll be out of a job.

You can come back for these things
in half an hour, steward.

Yes, missy.

And mind you, he was only 12.

Richard spoke up
as quick as a flash.

And what do you think
he said, Susan?

He said, "You may use
my bicycle, Geraldine.

I love sport, but I love
the principles of manhood more. "

Oh. I'm afraid I'm boring you.

I'm sorry, Mrs. Hope, but Richard told me
that story three times.

And you've told it- - I tell it not
because Richard happens to be my son.

I tell it merely because
I believe that you...

as his future wife,
might be interested.

Apparently, I was mistaken.
Mark my words, Susan.

The time will come when you'll be
just as devoted to Richard-

But I am devoted to him.
Only-

Only you have a peculiar way
of demonstrating your devotion.

Hmm!

Oh! Who's in there?

Help!

Help! Help!

- What happened?
- There's a man in there!

- What's wrong?
- There's a man in there.

- The stowaway.
- He growled at me.

Come out of there!

Come out of there,
or I'll blow you out!

Well, I'll be.

Oh, the poor little thing.
We frightened her.

She's frightened us.

What's your name?

- In Chinese or American?
- What?

In American,
it's Barbara Stewart.

And in Chinese, it's Ching-Ching.

- What are you doing here?
- Hiding.

Hiding. Why?

The man said I was a stowaway.

Well, are you?

L- I guess so.

What's a stowaway?

Say, how did you ever
get on this ship anyway?

I don't know.

I never heard of such a thing
in all my life.

I can't understand it.

- Neither can I.
- Oh! Please don't be impertinent.

Oh, she didn't mean to be.

- Did you, dear?
- No, I didn't.

- What's all this hullabaloo about?
- We found the stowaway, sir.

- Well, where is he?
- It's a she, sir.

It's this child here.

What, you?

I guess so.

She doesn't even know
how she got aboard, sir.

Well, what am I going
to do with you, young lady?

- I'll look after her.
- Oh, Susan, don't be absurd.

- She won't be any trouble.
- That's fine, Miss Parker.

Bring her up to my quarters
after lunch.

We'll have a talk with her
and see that she's returned to her people.

- You can return to your post now, Jenkins.
- Aye, sir.

See you later, stowaway.

Captain, can we put
this, uh, animal in the kennel?

- Oh.
- Oh, they'll take good care of him.

You'll give it a big dinner,
won't you, Captain?

Why, of course I will.
Here.

Don't you worry. I'll take care of it.

It isn't an it, sir.
It's a him.

I've never had a dress
as nice as this.

The ship's store is full of them.

All you have to do is get this one dirty,
and we'll find you another one.

Do you think your mother
will like me better...

now that I look so beautiful?

- Mrs. Hope isn't my mother.
- No?

Well, that is, not yet.

- See?
- Yes, I see.

Don't you think it's about time
we turned the child over to the captain?

After all, charity has its limits.

What did you mean when you said
you didn't know how you got on this ship?

- You must know.
- But I don't. Honestly.

The last thing I remember
is that I fell asleep in Uncle Tommy's car.

Uncle Tommy? Tommy who?

Randall. Tommy Randall.

Tommy Randall?

Mm-hmm.

- Why, your Uncle Tommy is on board this ship.
- He is?

I might have known you were his niece.
He's a problem child too.

I'll take you to him, Ching-Ching.

Considering his reputation,
you'd better turn her over to the captain.

Very well.

Well, it seems odd, but with Mr. Randall,
nothing surprises me.

- Good morning, Captain.
- Good morning, Atkins.

- We'd like to see Mr. Randall.
- Mr. Randall's still asleep, sir.

Hmm. Well, it's about time
he got up.

Mr. Randall never gets up
until 2:00, sir.

I'm sorry, but this is important,
so you'd better call him.

Mr. Randall will be
very annoyed, sir.

Supposing you tell him there's a very pretty
young lady wants to see him.

If I know Tommy Randall,
that'll get him up.

Yes, sir.
I'm afraid it will, sir.

Won't you be seated, please?

I beg your pardon, sir.

I beg your pardon, sir!

Go away. Far away.

I'm sorry, sir, but there's a young lady
to see you.

- Huh?
- There's a young lady to see you, sir.

- I think it's rather urgent.
- Oh, that's bad.

- She's very beautiful, sir.
- Oh? Well, that's not so bad.

- She has a child with her, sir.
- Oh, that is bad.

She also has the captain with her, sir.
He insists on seeing you.

Oh, that's very bad.

Here you are, sir.

- What's that?
- Your checkbook, sir.

Oh.

I don't know what your game is, but it
won't work. I never saw you before in my life.

Besides, I have witnesses to account
for my whereabouts for the past 27 years.

- Mr. Randall.
- Uncle Tommy.

Ching-Ching.
What on earth are you-

Please forgive me. I'm awfully sorry.
I'm not quite awake yet.

Ching-Ching, what are you
doing on this boat?

I'm a stowaway,
but I didn't mean to be.

I just waited in your automobile
like you said.

- I went out and looked for you.
- Well, you see, after a while, it started to rain.

So I got in the back
and pulled the cover down.

Aw, you poor kid.

- I'm awfully sorry.
- But I like being a stowaway, Uncle Tommy.

This is Susan Parker,
my best friend.

He's my best friend too.

- How do you do?
- How do you do?

Don't you think she's stravagant?

She's magnificent.

Oh. Thank you.

Charming little niece you have,
Mr. Randall.

I'm not really his niece, Susan.

- It's just pretending.
- Oh, why-

But aren't you the child's uncle?

No. We met in Shanghai yesterday
for the first time.

- Ching-Ching, you told me-
- I didn't mean to tell a fib, Susan.

I was just scared, and I knew Uncle Tommy
would help me.

Oh, you know I will.

I'm sorry, Captain,
to have caused all this trouble...

but I'll accept
full responsibility.

I'll be only too glad
to pay for her passage.

I'll have to communicate
with her people.

From what she tells me,
she has no people.

In fact, Captain, she has
all the earmarks of a waif.

But she must have someone.
She didn't live in China by herself.

I lived with the Kruikshanks,
but they won't care if I stay here.

Who are the Kruikshanks, dear?

They're missionaries in Sanchow.

Make a note of that name and get in touch
with them through the American consul.

In the meantime, Captain,
I'll look after her.

And this time, I really mean it.

I'm inclined to think that Miss Parker
would be better company for the child.

Oh, he's good company too.

Well, now maybe you had
better go with Miss Parker.

You can call her Susan, like I do.

Can't he, Susan?

Well, I suppose so.

Well, I'll see you later
then, Ching-Ching.

- And, I hope, you too, Susan.
- Thank you.

- Bye, Uncle Tommy.
- Good-bye, darling.

Good-bye, Uncle Tommy.

Uncle Tom's cabin.

- I can't understand it, Atkins.
- Understand what, sir?

Your gross neglect
of your duties.

The most beautiful girl in the world
is on this ship, and you never told me.

Men have been
court-martialed for less.

Begging your pardon, sir,
but you don't usually have to be told.

Oh. Who is she?

I don't know, sir, but you met her mother
in the dining room on Monday night.

- I did?
- Unhappily, sir.

- I didn't, uh-

You did, sir.

- Let me have it, Atkins.
- You emptied a bottle of champagne in her lap, sir.

Now, now.
Come, come, Atkins.

You can do better than that.
You're not even trying.

I thought
it was rather good, sir.

Perhaps you can suggest something else
that I can imitate better.

Well, let me see.
Oh-

- Sleepy?
- Mm-hmm.

Why, it's not 10:00 yet.
The shank of the evening.

You'll never be popular
if you fold up right after dinner.

Begging your pardon, sir...

but I think it's customary
for little children...

to retire rather early.

Is it really your bedtime,
Ching-Ching?

- Mm-hmm.
- Oh.

Atkins, prepare
Miss Ching-Ching for bed.

Me, sir?

- I don't know anything about undressing children.
- Sir, I've never done this.

- There always has to be a first time for everything.
- Oh, sir, this is very awkward.

Please, Uncle Tommy.
I can undress myself. I always do.

- I wish I could say the same.
- Oh, thank you, miss.

Now you close your eyes.
Come on.

Atkins, a lullaby
for Miss Ching-Ching.

A what, sir?

A lullaby.

You know, a vocal Mickey Finn.

Sir, I can't sing a lullaby.

Atkins, you're one of the most
untalented persons I've ever met.

You can't do imitations.
You can't sing.

How do you ever
entertain your friends?

- I can try, sir.
- Very well. Start crooning.

One, two-

♪Lullaby baby on the treetop♪

♪Poor lullaby baby
on the treetop♪

♪Poor lull♪
- Oh, please, please, please. You'll give her nightmares.

Perhaps you could do
better yourself, sir.

♪Rock-a-bye, baby♪

♪On♪

I guess I'm not
in very good voice tonight.

I know a lullaby my mommy used to sing me.
I'll teach it to you.

Things have come
to a pretty pass...

when a baby has
to sing herself to sleep.

Sit down, Atkins.

Very well, Ching-Ching.
Go ahead.

- Shall I
- Shh!

I didn't make any noise.

- Is she asleep?
- Not yet.

Well, you should be.
Good night, darling.

Good night, Aunt Susan.
Good night, Uncle Tommy.

Good night, darling.

Good night, Atkins.

You've been very sweet
to that child, Mr. Randall.

- Good night.
- Good night?

Don't tell me you go to bed
at 10:00 too?

- Well, I-
- Let me see you to your stateroom.

- It's only four doors away.
- You better let me come with you.

You might meet somebody.
You know, footpads, thugs- people like that.

It's not safe for a girl to be out alone
after dark on the ocean.

It's beautiful.

Yes, beautiful.

- And so peaceful.
- Mm-hmm.

Peaceful too.

It's really almost overdone,
isn't it?

Moonlight on the water,
stars in the sky, music.

They might have at least
had the decency to omit the music.

Yes, everything is here...

including you... and me.

Taken altogether,
that spells romance.

- Not for me.
- Why not?

- Well, romance takes two.
- Well, there are two here.

Yes, but not the right two.
You see, I'm engaged.

Oh.

- To Richard Hope- Mrs. Hope's son, you know.
- Yes, I know.

He's meeting the boat at Bangkok.
We're to be married there.

Mm-hmm? And why Bangkok?

Well, he lives there.
He's with an exporting firm.

- Exporting what?
- Oh, ivory, apes, peacocks.

Things like that.

He came out here two years ago,
and he's worked very hard.

You mean to say you've been
engaged for two years...

and you haven't seen him
in all that time?

Oh, you Latins.
What a hot-blooded race you are.

Well, Richard isn't quite like that.

Anyway, we've known each other
since we were children.

Oh, I see. Well, I must say
it all sounds very lyrical.

Well, it may not
be exactly lyrical.

Me, of course,
I've never been engaged.

Not definitely, that is.

- But if I were to be, I'm sure I'd-
- "Not definitely" is right.

I seem to recall something
in the newspapers.

"Millionaire Playboy
Sued for Breach of Promise. "

Oh, I practically won that suit.
She only got $10,000.

Poor kid.
She'd been counting on 50.

$10,000? That's more
than Richard earns in a year.

Oh, you shouldn't
be so narrow.

After all, I can't help it
if I've been cursed with wealth.

Not that it isn't as nice a curse
as anyone could ask for.

Have you ever worked for a living?

- Pardon?
- You know, work-what most people do.

Oh, work. Of course. Of course.
I worked for my father, and-

Why should I take a job away
from someone else who needs it?

I sacrifice myself
for the good of humanity. See?

Do you know what you are?

No, but I have an uneasy feeling
you're about to tell me.

- You're a museum piece.
- What?

You should be in a glass case
in an exhibit of the Terrible Twenties...

with a cocktail shaker
in your hand...

and your shirtfront scrawled
with chorus girls' telephone numbers...

and a label: "Playboy, B.C.
- Before the crash.

Former habitat: Broadway.
Now extinct. "

Mmm. You don't exactly
pull your punches, do you?

Would it please you to know
that at the moment...

I feel about that high
and six years old?

You should grow up.
That's what I've been trying to tell you.

Oh, but forget it.
At least forget it for now.

I'm really not
a reformer always.

Anyway, beneath
that too-smooth exterior...

beats a heart of gold, I think.

It's beating awfully fast right now.

Good night.

Sing it.
There's no one here but you and me...

and the China Sea.

Oh, but it's a love song.
Just doesn't fit the occasion.

That's all right.
It's only a popular song.

Besides, you didn't
write the words.

And I'm warning you,
if you don't sing it, I will.

You win.

Susan!

- Uh, good night.
- Good night.

And, uh, good night
to you too.

Good night.

- See that this is sent at once.
- Yes, ma'am.

How long do we
have here, purser?

- Twelve hours, madam.
- Thank you.

This would be nice
for the little girl.

- Do you like that, Ching-Ching?
- I think it's beautiful.

All right.
We'll take that too.

Uncle Tommy, when I get big,
I'm gonna marry a man like you.

Aren't you, Aunt Susan?

Darling, when you grow up,
there aren't gonna be any men like him.

He's a dying race-
the last of the easy spenders.

A nice jade bracelet
for the lady?

- No, thank you.
- What a perfect piece of jade.

- It is lovely.
- Good. It's all yours. Wrap it up.

Send it to the steamer
with the rest of the packages.

- Tommy, I couldn't accept it.
- It's all right, Susan.

Mr. And Mrs. Kruikshank
are good people...

and they take anything
shoes, potatoes, rice.

See? I guess if Ching-Ching
says it's all right.

Mm-mm. Not even for Ching-Ching.

All right, but you're
being very silly.

- You know where we're going now?
- Mm-hmm. Back to the boat.

She guessed wrong again,
didn't she, Uncle Tommy?

You said it.
We're going to a show.

- What kind of a show?
- Oh, beautiful. Magnificent.

Come in.

- Mother!
- Richard!

- Oh.
- Mmm!

Why did you cable me? Where's Susan?
She's not ill, is she?

- Will you go up on deck and call Miss Parker?
- Yes, missy.

No, Richard, she's not ill.

Well, why did you send for me? After all,
it's not exactly an inexpensive trip.

I know. I know, dear.

But frankly, the situation
was more than I could cope with alone.

What do you mean?
Heavens, Mother, don't build it up.

Did you ever hear of a man
named Tommy Randall?

Randall?
The name's familiar.

- It should be. It's been in the papers often enough.
- Well, what about him?

He's on this boat.

What's that got to do with Susan?

Well, Richard, your mother's
a woman of the world.

You realize that.
And she can tell-

She can tell what?
Heavens, Mother, we're not getting anyplace.

Mind you, I'm not saying there's been
anything wrong between them, but-

Oh, so that's it, is it?
Do you mean to say that I've flown here...

just to be told that Susan
is having a harmless little ship flirtation?

May be harmless,
and it may not.

After all, Richard,
Susan's a very headstrong young woman.

Well, marriage will
straighten her out.

Just wait till she hears I'm the new
assistant manager of the Bangkok branch.

J.B.
- J.B. Bradley, I mean. Everybody calls him J.B. -

gave me the promotion
as a wedding present.

Just think- my boy
an assistant manager.

Why, Richard, it seems only yesterday
that you were in curls.

Well, it just shows what
hard work, determination...

Come in.

- Too sorry. Missy have go shoreside.
- Ashore?

- Yes, missy.
- Thank you.

You see?
She's with Randall now.

I knew I was right in cabling you.
A mother's instinct never fails.

Well, what do you think
I should do?

The first thing to do is to find her.
I'll get my hat.

Oh, look at the Chinese Major Bowes.

That fella Li Ze Mon
used to run a chop suey place on Broadway.

All right, all right, all right.

Bing Crosby.

Ladies and gentlemen,
one of our young amateurs...

will now give you imitation
of Bing Crosby.

- I learned that song from Sun Lo's phonograph.

I learned lots of them.

♪Me too♪

♪I could find delight in♪

♪Your booby-booby-boo♪

All right, all right, all right.

He wants the people in the audience
to get up and give imitations.

He says there's a prize
of 10 yuan.

- Where are you going?
- If I get the 10 yuan...

then I can buy some presents
for you and Uncle Tommy.

- Ching-Ching, no.
- Oh, let her go. Nothing can happen to her.

Oh, hello.

What can I do for you?

You can give me
the 10 yuan.

You likee sing song?

I would if you don't start ringing that bell.

You know, I think
that's why that other gentleman quit.

You know American song?

Yes, I do. It's called
"You Gotta S-M-I-L-E."

All right, Professor.

Play "You Gotta S-M-I-L-E."

Freddie.

Well, I feel the spirit of old Sir
Walter Raleigh coming out in me.

You wait here, darling.
I'll come back for you.

Hello, Uncle Tommy!
Hello, Aunt Susan!

Psst!

I think you better put her down.

Oh, never can tell.
Might be more water farther on.

Richard! This is a surprise.

Yes, it's a surprise
for me too.

- Oh.
- Uh, Tommy- Mr. Randall- this is Mr. Hope.

And this is
Miss Ching-Ching Stewart.

- Pleased to meet you.
- Richard, I never thought I'd see you here.

- Evidently not.
- Weren't you surprised to see him?

Hardly. I sent for him.

That's marvelous. I love surprises,
and usually I never get them.

Susan, I think your friends
will excuse you.

I'm sorry.
I must be going now.

You'll be awfully careful
of her, won't you?

Oh, she'll be perfectly all right.
I'm sorry if I, uh-

Oh, that's all right.
Good-bye, Ching-Ching.

Good-bye.

You like her, don't you?

Well, you can call it that.

I don't see how anybody could
have fun with that Mr. Hope.

I'm afraid fun isn't everything,
Ching-Ching.

Come on.
We're gonna have a good time.

We likee see, uh,
one nice piecee tapestry.

This way, please.

- Something like this, sir?
- Mm, no.

Let me see that one.

Not bad.

Precious little puppy, you.

You're just like Wufie.

- Thank you, sir.
- Come on, Ching-Ching.

- He went that way.
- Thank you.

Well, Ching-Ching,
where do we go from here?

Hey, where'd you
come from?

Ching-Ching?
Ching-Ching!

Oh, now wait, wait.
This is all a mistake.

Listen. Be reasonable. Ching-Ching!

Oh, there you are, darlin'.

Now wait, wait. Give me a chance to explain.

"If wishes were keys,
there would be no prisoners. "

So Sun Lo says.

Good old Sun Lo.
Always brightening the corner where he isn't.

Well, it's been fun up till now, but it
won't be so funny if we miss that boat.

I bet the captain
will be pretty mad.

Well, he must be,
or he'd be here by now.

We've got to get out of here.

Well, I guess we'll have
to start a rebellion.

Pardon me. Would any of you gentlemen
be interested in getting out of this jail?

I said, would-
Oh. You speak to them, Ching-Ching.

Tell them about
the great outside world.

Ask them how they'd like
to see it again.

Well?

They're not interested.
They say they like it here.

Oh, that's absurd.
Where's their spirit?

Ask 'em are they men
or are they mice?

Mice.

Well, at last. Sorry to have
caused you so much trouble, Captain.

Now see here, son.
I've been very lenient with you.

But there's a limit to everything,
and this time you've overstepped it.

- Yes, sir.
- If it weren't for this child, I wouldn't be here.

Any news about Ching-Ching
and Mr. Randall?

I'm sorry, miss. Not a word.

Oh, I never should have
left her with him.

Well, you should have
known better.

It's an outrage taking a child of that age
out at night in a city like Hong Kong.

Anything could happen.

♪Indeed I do♪

- ♪With a box of popcorn a bag of peanuts and you♪
- Tommy!

To the rescue. I need you.

- Ah, we missed you, darling.
- Did you?

- Did you have a good time?
- I had a lovely time. You?

- Well, we missed not having you, darling.
- Oh, thank you.

- Oh, Tommy, it was such a nice party.
- I'm glad you enjoyed yourself.

Tommy, just a little matter
of taxi fare.

Could I impose on you?

- Colonel, don't tell me you've been robbed again.
- Clean.

Miss Parker, Miss Parker,
here they come.

Well, that was better.

Nine and two- 11.
Four and three is seven.

Then when he thought I didn't have a card
in my hand, I trumped his ace.

You should have seen his face.
It was on a redouble, mind you.

- They play a lot of bridge in Bangkok?
- Yeah, a great bridge town.

We call it "Bridgeport. "

Eleven. You know, you're really
very fortunate, moving with our crowd.

Only last weekJ.B.
- J.B. Bradley, I mean- said to me, "Dick"-

He calls me Dick for short.
"Dick," he said...

"I'm sure your missus
is gonna like it here. "

- You will too.
- Oh, I know I will.

Tell her about the house, Richard.

Oh, yes. But of course just a
description of it doesn't do it justice.

It's absolutely modern.
Lots of closet space. Fully equipped laundry.

You'd be surprised. It's just as good
as any house in any American suburb.

And roomy too.
Wait, I'll show you.

It's kinda "L" shape.

This is our room.
This is Mother's room.

- Mother's?
- Yes.

Oh, you think she'd be
better off in this one?

I don't know.

Bangkok is a very
romantic city, isn't it?

Oh, there are a lot of old temples
and places like that.

But our colony doesn't bother
with the native things.

We have our own little set.
Fine, substantial people too.

Bridge and tennis.
You get to know your opponent so well...

you can tell in advance
every move he's gonna make.

Oh, that must be interesting.

Susan! Susan!

Darling, you should be taking a nap-
you and your dolls.

My dolls are.
Shut your eyes and put out your hand.

I have something for you.

All right.

- Susan, where did that come from?
- From Uncle Tommy.

- Who?
- Oh, I-I asked him not to buy it.

Look.
He bought me a bracelet too.

- Why, that must have cost-
- $300. I saw the price tag.

- $300?
- Mm-hmm.

He wouldn't have spent that much money
if he hadn't felt you were interested.

I don't think I need
to even answer that, Mrs. Hope.

Of course you'll return it,
won't you, Susan?

Certainly. I asked Mr. Randall
not to buy it, but he-

Shall I give back my bracelet too?

Uh, no, darling. I think you'd better go
take your nap or play or something, huh?

All right.

Still, he might have meant it
as a wedding present.

I guess in that case there'd be no harm
in your keeping it.

After all, it did cost quite a lot.

Will my boy be happy with a girl like that?
Sometimes I wonder.

Of course I will, Mother.
Why do you say that?

Oh, I don't know. Susan seems
to have changed a great deal lately.

- Well, she'll be all right after we're married.
- Hmm.

Well, it's about time
we declared an armistice.

I've been feeling terrible, Susan.

Well, this is very pretty,
but of course I can't accept it.

Oh.
Take back your baubles, is that it?

Now listen, Susan.
I think you're being very-

Was it as bad as all that?
Don't you like me anymore?

That has nothing to do with it.

Well, don't you?

Not particularly.

You know what you tell me.
"Keep your chin up and you'll be okay. "

As Sun Lo says, the strongest man in
the world cannot lift a heavy heart.

Why is your heart heavy?

You know that Mr. Hope?

- Well, Susan's gonna marry him.
- Ooh.

She'll have Mrs. Hope for a mother-in-law.
It'll serve her right too.

Oh, no. Nobody should have
Mrs. Hope for a mother-in-law.

Ah. There you are, young lady.

Just the one I want to see.
I've got a surprise for you.

As an unshelled nut is to a squirrel,
so is a surprise to him who receives it.

Right-o, darling. You're going to leave
the ship at Singapore.

- What?
- Now supposing you run down below and start to get ready.

Then when you come back,
I'll tell you the rest of the surprise.

You ought to give Uncle Tommy a surprise,
too, just to make him feel better.

- He's been in the-What was it?
- Doghouse.

With Mr. Wu.

- What is all this?
- I just received this wireless from Shanghai.

What's the consul
gonna do with her?

There's a missionary
home for girls in Shanghai.

- He'll probably see that she's placed in it.
- Home for girls?

You mean gray uniforms and pigtails?

Ching-Ching was never
meant for that.

I know, old man, but I'm afraid it's
about all that can be done for her.

Uh, Captain, wait a minute.

This may sound crazy,
but why can't I adopt her?

Now see here, son.
You're a bachelor, and quite a bachelor.

Why, no court would
turn a child over to you.

- You mean it would make a difference if I were married?
- Well, naturally.

It's a horrible step.

Well, I don't think you need worry, old man.
You haven't got time now.

Excuse me.
Have you seen Ching-Ching?

Yes.

- Do you know where she is?
- Yes.

Well, would you mind telling me?

She's below, getting ready
to leave the ship at the next stop.

Then they're putting her
in a home for girls.

She'll be marching in lockstep
and eating gruel within a week.

I hope you like it.

- Ah, Tommy.
- Ah, tears won't help.

Oh, but surely something
can be done.

This can't happen to Ching-Ching.

I don't know.

Wait a minute.

You're gonna marry
old sourpuss, aren't you?

- I beg your pardon.
- I'm sorry. No offense meant.

Look. I tried to adopt Ching-Ching, but they
wouldn't let me because I'm unmarried.

But you're getting married. You could adopt her.
- Yes, but Richard might not-

- You don't want her to go to an institution, do you?
- Of course not!

Well, then listen.
I've gone completely soft about that kid.

Incredible, I know, but true.

I wish you'd adopt her and let me pay for
her upbringing until I can take her myself.

And that'll be as quick as I can get
to the States and come back with a wife.

Will you do it? It wouldn't be for long.
You may not believe it...

but there are quite a few girls back home
who'd be willing to marry me.

At least there used to be.

It's not for me.
It's for Ching-Ching.

- I'll do it.
- I knew you would.

May I speak to you, Susan?

- Pardon me.
- Certainly.

Susan, dear, I'm awfully sorry if I annoyed
you in speaking of that bracelet as I did.

Imagine my becoming so upset
over a mere trinket.

- Absurd, isn't it?
- Oh, I was a little upset myself. I'm sorry.

There. That's better.
Everything's all right now.

Here we are-
the three happy Hopes.

One, two, three,
and away we go!

Mother was a little weepy
when you stalked out like that.

Somehow she got the idea
you'd prefer her not to live with us.

Why, what ever
could have given her that idea?

I don't know. But I told her
we couldn't get along without her.

- Didn't I, Mother?
- Yes, you did, Sonny.

Well, I-I don't
suppose we could.

Now that's awfully sweet of you,
Susan.

Heaven protect us all from interfering
mothers-in-law is what I always say.

Goodness, I was married myself once,
and I know what I'm talking about.

Not that Mr. Hope's mother
didn't mean well, but then, you know-

Young love.

We do know, don't we?

- Richard.
- Yes?

- There's just one thing.
- What is it?

Well, I want to adopt little Ching-Ching as soon as we're married.
- What?

Who ever heard of such a thing?

Oh, but if I don't,
they'll put her in an institution.

- Well, that's what institutions are for.
- Oh, Richard, please.

I'm sure Richard doesn't want to start
his married life with a ready-made family-

especially with a child
called Ching-Ching.

Oh, but it won't be for long.
Just until Mr. Randall gets back.

Randall?
What's he got to do with it?

Well, you see,
it's a favor to him.

He wants to adopt her
as soon as he can.

And when he gets back to the States to his
family, why, he'll arrange to take her.

- Why should I do Mr. Randall a favor?
- Why, indeed?

Oh, but it isn't for him. It's for
the little girl. Think of her future.

Don't meddle with other people's destinies,
my dear. Forget about this child.

She got along before she met you,
and she'll get along after she leaves you.

Dismiss her from your mind
completely.

Please, Mrs. Hope. Don't you think Richard
and I should settle this by ourselves?

- After all, it concerns us.
- Anything that concerns Richard concerns me.

I think Mother's right, Susan.

- You do?
- Yes.

- Your mother's right, and I'm wrong?
- Well, yes.

That is, I think you're mistaken.

So do I. I've been mistaken
about you and me.

- Now, Susan-
- Oh, listen. Marriage is for two people.

I'm breaking our engagement.

Richard, she'll come back.
Meanwhile, you wait.

The man should always wait.
Otherwise, he's weak.

Ching-Ching.
Ching-Ching.

Good-bye, Uncle Tommy.
The captain says I have to go.

- Oh, no, you don't.
- Well, now-

Didn't you say she could be adopted
by someone who- - Well, yes, I did-

She's going to be.
Here she is now.

Oh, darling.

- Don't I have to go ashore?
- Not now. Tell her, Susan.

Miss Parker's getting married,
and she's going to adopt Ching-Ching.

But I'm not going to be married.

What? Oh, but you said-

Uh, I think we better
go now, darling.

Uh, just a minute.

This isn't really good-bye.

I'll come back for you real soon.

And in the meantime,
you won't cry, will you?

No, Uncle Tommy.

But remember: One-

One minute away is-
is a century to the hopeful.

I'll remember, Ching-Ching.

Good-bye, sweet.

If you ever come back again, you won't
forget to come and see me, will you?

- Mm-mmm.
- I'll be in the orphan asylum in Shanghai.

Oh, sure. We'll look you up.
Won't we?

Oh, of course we will.

Maybe we'll have
some more fun like we had.

We might even go back
to jail again.

Yes, we might.

Well, I think I better run along now...
before I really cry.

Good-bye!

We can't let this happen to her.

Look, Susan. I've got an idea.

Please don't say no
till you hear me out.

I know exactly what you think of me,
but that isn't important now.

Listen. Marry me.

Uh, uh, please don't misunderstand.
You wouldn't have to put up with me.

It'd just be
a marriage in name only.

Soon as we dock in San Francisco,
you can go right to Reno and get a divorce.

My lawyers will
take care of everything.

I wish you would- for Ching-Ching.
It's the only way.

You'd really do that for her?

I'd do anything
in the world for her.

- So would I.
- Then you will?

Yes.

Uh, hey, bring her back!

What's that?

We're getting married,
and we want to adopt her.

Come on, Ching-Ching, darling.
We're going back aboard ship again.

Come on, dear. That's it.

Forasmuch as Susan Parker
and Thomas Randall...

have consented together
in holy wedlock...

and have witnessed the same
before this company...

and thereto have given
and pledged their troth...

each to the other
and have declared the same...

by giving and receiving
a ring and by joining hands...

I pronounce that they are
man and wife.

Amen.

- All happiness, my dear. Good luck, my boy.
- Thank you.

Twice blessed is he who loves both bride
and groom, for their happiness is his.

- Congratulations, Mr. Randall.
- Thank you.

- Congratulations.
- Much joy to you, Mrs. Randall.

- Thank you.
- I wish you happiness, Mrs. Randall.

Thank you, Captain. I guess a sailor's knot's
as good as city hall's.

There'll be some necessary formalities
about the child, of course.

I'll have my lawyer
take care of that.

Susan, why did you do this?

Young man,
you're talking to my wife.

- Richard, dear, I-
- And you told me to wait.

Are you really
and truly my parents now?

We're the best
you've got, darling.

Sun Lo says, "A child without parents
is like a ship without a rudder. "

Sun Lo ever say anything
about little girls going to sleep?

Oh, yes.

He said, "Sleep without dreams
is given to children for their innocence...

and old men for their wisdom. "

Well, off you go then.

I'm almost too excited
to sleep, but I'll try.

- Good night, sweet.
- Good night, Aunt Susan. Good night, Uncle Tommy.

Good night, darling.
But I'm not your uncle anymore.

- What are you then?
- Can't you guess?

I know. You're my father now.
Night, Dad.

Good night, honey.

- Good night.
- Good night.

Well, here you are.

- And did the stewardess move your things?
- Mm-hmm.

She said Mrs. Hope almost bit her.

- I was just going-
- I-

- Go ahead.
- No, you.

Well, uh, I was just
going to say that...

if there was anything
you wanted me to do to...

lend credibility to the situation,
I'll be glad to do it, you know.

- People will talk whatever we do, so-
- Oh, sure. Of course.

Well, I guess I'll be off.

I don't know how to thank you.

I'll try to make things
as easy for you as possible.

I'm cabling my lawyers tonight, and you can
go direct to Reno as soon as the boat docks.

- Everything's been arranged.
- You're very thoughtful.

Not at all, not at all.
You'll like Reno. It's a fascinating place.

Lots of fresh air and horseback riding.

Full of nice, emotional people.
Oh.

- This is the address you go to.
- Thank you.

You're really wonderful.

I suppose you know that.

Well, at the moment,
I don't feel very wonderful.

Well, if you must know,
I don't feel so good myself.

- Good night, Susan.
- Good night, Tommy.

L-

Begging your pardon, sir. Where shall
I lay out your pajamas this evening?

Where you laid them last night.

Oh, dear. I'm so sorry, sir.

Come in.

Susan, why didn't you warn me
you were going to do this?

Well, I- I didn't have time.
Besides, it's too late now.

Well, it's hardly funny, is it?

Not to me.

Well, tell me one thing.
You don't love him, do you?

Do you?

No, I don't, but even if I did,
it wouldn't make any difference.

Yes, it would.
Listen, darling.

I've been a worm.
I know that now.

But I've had an understanding
with Mother...

and you can have your way
from now on- always-

if- if you'll tell me
there's a chance.

Aw, no, Richard. It wouldn't work.
You know it wouldn't.

You can be nice.
You're nice now. But-

- Please, Susan.
- Oh, no, really.

L- I'm too confused
to talk about it.

I'm even too upset
to think about it.

I'll follow you.
I'll follow you until you say yes.

Oh, no, Richard.
I'd rather you didn't.

Better lock this.

- Now you stay in here, and I'll wait out in the courtroom.
- All right.

- Is this Mrs. Randall?
- Yes.

Now, you mustn't be nervous
when your case is called.

I've placed you right at the beginning of today's
calendar, and meanwhile you can wait here.

That's awfully kind of you, Judge.

You see, this is my first divorce,
and I'm a little jittery.

It is a little strange at first,
but they all get used to it.

You know, like influenza.

Come.

Right in here, please.

Susan!

Darling, I'm so glad to see you.

Oh, this is a surprise.

But I don't understand.

Well, you see, I, uh, thought I might want
another divorce sometime...

and I was sort of curious
to see how they made 'em.

Oh, Judge Booth, this is Mr. Randall.

The, uh, husband, I presume.

Yes. And this is my daughter.

- Your daughter?
- Adopted.

Oh. How are you, young lady?

Fine, thank you.

To greet one you love
is better for the health than medicine.

Well, I declare.
That sounds like a Chinese proverb.

Oh, Judge, you haven't
heard anything yet.

Well, well, well.
Come over here and talk to me. Eh?

I, uh- I tried to stay away,
but I found I couldn't.

I had to see you again.

Suppose you and I have our talk
in the other room.

Um, will you excuse us
for a few moments?

Oh, but would it be proper?
I mean, our being left alone together now.

Oh, it's quite customary.

You're looking very well.

- I haven't had a drink in six weeks.
- That's wonderful.

No, it isn't. It's terrible.

Still, I'll get along.

And it does show you what the influence
of a good woman can do.

- Oh, really? Who is she?
- Ching-Ching.

I told you once
I'd do anything in the world for her.

You've proven that.

Honestly, you wouldn't know me.
I'm a changed man.

I may not be any better,
but at least I'm different.

I'm so glad.

You know,
you were right about Reno.

It's a fascinating place.
So charming and-

- Susan, darling-
- Ah, Tommy, please.

Do we have to
go through with this?

Richard is waiting
in the courtroom to marry me.

He's going to take me back
to the Orient with him.

Oh.

I see.

Well, I guess
that's that, isn't it?

I'm sorry.

Sorrier than I can say.

Everyone rise.
Hear ye, hear ye, hear ye.

The District Court of the County of Washaw,
State of Nevada...

is now in session,
the HonorableJ.G. Booth, Judge, presiding.

Be seated, please.

The case of Randall vs. Randall.

- Any witnesses for plaintiff?
- None, Your Honor. The case is uncontested.

In that case, the court would like to call
a witness of its own.

But, Your Honor,
the case is uncontested.

I said the court will call a witness
of its own. Miss Barbara Randall.

Oh. Please, Your Honor.
We don't want her mixed up in this.

The witness will take the stand.
The defendant will please be seated.

Raise your right hand, please.

Uh, I think we can
dispense with the oath.

Yes, Your Honor.

Now, Miss Randall-

You can call me
Ching-Ching, Judge.

Thank you.
Now, Ching-Ching...

plaintiff alleges
general incompatibility.

Have you ever noticed any evidence
of such a condition...

existing between the parties
to this action?

To my knowledge,
the contestants in this action...

have manifested nothing
but the most harmonious...

cordial and friendly feelings
toward each other.

- But, Your Honor, I object.
- Who are you, young man?

Why, uh, I'm engaged
to the plaintiff.

Engaged? To a married woman?

This court recognizes
no such engagement.

Now, Ching-Ching...

have either of the parties in this action
ever evidenced by their conduct...

any proper legal ground
for divorce?

There's utterly no ground for disturbing
the marital status of the contestants.

That is most irregular, Your Honor. The child
plainly doesn't know what she is saying.

Oh, yes, she does.
Tell the court.

Isn't this divorce action the result of two
grown-up people behaving like stubborn children...

refusing to break down and admit
that they're in love with each other?

The allegations of the complaint...

insofar as it refers
to, uh- uh-

Matrimony.

Huh?

Matrimony.

Oh, yes.

Insofar as it refers to macaroni-

Macaroni? There.
See, Your Honor?

The child has obviously
been coached.

I was not.

I just forgot what the judge
told me to say.

Is counsel intimating
that the witness is lying?

- Counsel charges just that.
- Have you any witnesses to disprove her testimony?

- Why, uh-
- Do you wish to testify that this child was lying?

Why, uh, no, of course not.

Then you admit that
you love Mrs. Randall?

She knows I do.

And you, Mrs. Randall-
Do you wish to attack this child's veracity?

Why, no. Certainly not.

Then you admit
that you love your husband?

Well, yes, I do.

Then what's all this nonsense about?

- Divorce denied.
- Oh, but-

Take your child and go home, both of you,
where you belong.

Your Honor, what about me?

My advice to you, young man, is to stop
tampering with the affections of married women.

- Well, we did it, didn't we?
- You bet we did.

Judge, you're simply stravagant.
