Announcer: ROBERT YOUNG...
3
00:00:12,413 --> 00:00:15,558
AND JANE WYATT.
4
00:00:15,582 --> 00:00:17,060
(laughter)
5
00:00:17,084 --> 00:00:20,619
WITH ELINOR DONAHUE, BILLY
GRAY, AND LAUREN CHAPIN...
6
00:00:27,161 --> 00:00:28,872
GOOD MORNING,
DEAR. MORNING, DEAR.
7
00:00:28,896 --> 00:00:30,940
BUD UP YET? I CALLED HIM.
8
00:00:30,964 --> 00:00:32,809
(blast, rumbling)
9
00:00:32,833 --> 00:00:34,478
WHAT IN THE WORLD WAS THAT?
10
00:00:34,502 --> 00:00:36,013
I KNOW MY KISSES ARE POWERFUL,
11
00:00:36,037 --> 00:00:37,914
BUT I CAN'T TAKE CREDIT FOR IT.
12
00:00:37,938 --> 00:00:40,683
HERE, THEY STARTED WORK ON
THAT NEW HIGHWAY THIS MORNING.
13
00:00:40,707 --> 00:00:43,320
"MAYOR MITCHELL SETS OFF
FIRST BLAST ON HIGHWAY."
14
00:00:43,344 --> 00:00:44,888
I PROMISED KATHY WE'D
GO DOWN AND WATCH.
15
00:00:44,912 --> 00:00:47,424
SOUNDS LIKE THEY'RE PUTTING
IT THROUGH OUR BASEMENT.
16
00:00:47,448 --> 00:00:49,726
MOMMY, MOMMY! THEY'VE
STARTED ALREADY!
17
00:00:49,750 --> 00:00:50,894
I KNOW, I KNOW.
18
00:00:50,918 --> 00:00:52,362
COME ON, WE'LL MISS EVERYTHING!
19
00:00:52,386 --> 00:00:54,898
THERE'S PLENTY OF TIME. SIT
DOWN, EAT YOUR BREAKFAST.
20
00:00:54,922 --> 00:00:56,533
BUT WE WON'T SEE THEM
TEAR DOWN THE BUILDING.
21
00:00:56,557 --> 00:00:58,001
OH, YES, WE WILL.
22
00:00:58,025 --> 00:01:00,404
KATHY, THEY PROMISED NOT
TO DO ANY SERIOUS BLASTING
23
00:01:00,428 --> 00:01:01,971
UNTIL YOU GET THERE.
RIGHT, MARGARET?
24
00:01:01,995 --> 00:01:03,006
RIGHT.
25
00:01:03,030 --> 00:01:04,607
HERE, YOU GO TO WORK ON THIS.
26
00:01:04,631 --> 00:01:06,443
(blast, rumbling)
27
00:01:06,467 --> 00:01:08,845
OOH, THAT WAS A WHOPPER.
28
00:01:08,869 --> 00:01:10,713
WHAT MAKES IT SO LOUD, DADDY?
29
00:01:10,737 --> 00:01:12,982
THAT'S DYNAMITE, KITTEN.
IT'S NOISY BUT SURE.
30
00:01:13,006 --> 00:01:15,419
THE BEST WAY TO TEAR
ANYTHING DOWN IS TO BLAST.
31
00:01:15,443 --> 00:01:17,820
YOU THINK THEY MIGHT
BLAST OUR SCHOOL, DADDY?
32
00:01:17,844 --> 00:01:19,722
I WOULDN'T COUNT ON IT, KITTEN.
33
00:01:19,746 --> 00:01:22,292
BUD, TIME TO GET UP!
34
00:01:22,316 --> 00:01:24,361
WHAT IS DYNAMITE, DADDY?
35
00:01:24,385 --> 00:01:27,686
THAT'S WHAT IT TAKES TO GET
YOUR BROTHER UP IN THE MORNING.
36
00:01:30,924 --> 00:01:32,436
ACCORDING TO THIS, MARGARET,
37
00:01:32,460 --> 00:01:34,037
THEY'RE GONNA TEAR OUT A
WHOLE BLOCK OF BUILDINGS.
38
00:01:34,061 --> 00:01:35,439
I THINK IT'S A GOOD IDEA.
39
00:01:35,463 --> 00:01:37,707
THOSE BUILDINGS HAVE
BEEN AN EYESORE FOR YEARS.
40
00:01:37,731 --> 00:01:39,664
JIM, GIVE BUD ANOTHER
CALL, WILL YOU?
41
00:01:42,769 --> 00:01:45,582
FALL OUT OF THAT BED, BUD!
42
00:01:45,606 --> 00:01:47,016
YOU HAVE TO HAND
IT TO THE MAYOR.
43
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:48,452
HE SAID HE WAS GONNA
CLEAN UP SPRINGFIELD.
44
00:01:48,476 --> 00:01:51,688
HE'S CERTAINLY
DOING IT. (blast, rumbling)
45
00:01:51,712 --> 00:01:53,656
THAT WAS ANOTHER BIG ONE, DADDY.
46
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:55,058
I THOUGHT IT WAS THE COFFEE.
47
00:01:55,082 --> 00:01:56,415
VERY FUNNY.
48
00:01:58,018 --> 00:01:59,729
GOSH, DAD.
49
00:01:59,753 --> 00:02:01,465
YOU DON'T HAVE TO SHAKE
THE WHOLE HOUSE TO GET ME UP.
50
00:02:01,489 --> 00:02:02,699
I CAN TAKE A HINT.
51
00:02:02,723 --> 00:02:04,334
SEE WHAT I MEAN, KATHY?
52
00:02:04,358 --> 00:02:06,136
THANKS, ALL. FOR WHAT?
53
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:07,404
FOR GETTING ME UP.
54
00:02:07,428 --> 00:02:09,939
THANK THE MAYOR. WHAT FOR?
55
00:02:09,963 --> 00:02:11,241
FOR GETTING YOU UP.
56
00:02:11,265 --> 00:02:12,709
WHAT'D HE DO?
57
00:02:12,733 --> 00:02:15,078
HE DID WHAT I'VE BEEN
THREATENING TO DO FOR YEARS.
58
00:02:15,102 --> 00:02:16,613
GET YOU OUT OF
BED WITH DYNAMITE.
59
00:02:16,637 --> 00:02:19,583
HE MUST'VE KNOWN I HAD A
CIVICS EXAM THIS MORNING.
60
00:02:19,607 --> 00:02:21,851
WHY, TODAY'S SATURDAY.
61
00:02:21,875 --> 00:02:23,987
IT IS? MM-HMM.
62
00:02:24,011 --> 00:02:25,422
THEN WHY DIDN'T
YOU LET ME SLEEP?
63
00:02:25,446 --> 00:02:27,224
OH, HERE, SON. MAYBE
THIS WILL WAKE YOU UP.
64
00:02:27,248 --> 00:02:29,025
THANKS, MOM.
65
00:02:29,049 --> 00:02:31,316
THESE SURE ARE BIG EGGS.
66
00:02:32,586 --> 00:02:34,666
TRY SOME SYRUP ON THEM.
67
00:02:36,357 --> 00:02:37,389
NO!
68
00:02:38,792 --> 00:02:42,239
DADDY, WHAT'S A... CIVIC?
69
00:02:42,263 --> 00:02:43,906
YOU MEAN CIVICS.
70
00:02:43,930 --> 00:02:45,742
WHAT ARE CIVICS?
71
00:02:45,766 --> 00:02:47,110
NO, WHAT IS CIVICS.
72
00:02:47,134 --> 00:02:50,046
WELL, WHAT IS THEY?
73
00:02:50,070 --> 00:02:51,848
KATHY, EAT YOUR BREAKFAST.
74
00:02:51,872 --> 00:02:53,383
DON'T YOU KNOW, DADDY?
75
00:02:53,407 --> 00:02:55,084
OF COURSE I KNOW.
76
00:02:55,108 --> 00:02:56,875
IS IT A SECRET?
77
00:02:58,745 --> 00:03:00,157
CIVICS MEANS...
78
00:03:00,181 --> 00:03:02,025
WELL, IT'S FROM THE
LATIN WORD CIVICUS,
79
00:03:02,049 --> 00:03:03,826
WHICH MEANS "CITIZEN".
80
00:03:03,850 --> 00:03:06,296
THEN WHAT?
81
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,865
WELL, THE GOVERNMENT IS
DIVIDED UP INTO CERTAIN GROUPS...
82
00:03:08,889 --> 00:03:10,567
Bud: MOM, GET
ANOTHER STACK READY.
83
00:03:10,591 --> 00:03:13,537
AND THESE GROUPS ARE GROUPED
TOGETHER FOR CERTAIN PURPOSES.
84
00:03:13,561 --> 00:03:16,039
I DON'T GET IT.
85
00:03:16,063 --> 00:03:19,643
KATHY, IT'S A LITTLE DIFFICULT TO
EXPLAIN SO YOU'LL UNDERSTAND.
86
00:03:19,667 --> 00:03:21,400
TRY.
87
00:03:23,036 --> 00:03:25,014
CIVICS IS THAT DEPARTMENT
OF POLITIC SCIENCE
88
00:03:25,038 --> 00:03:26,816
DEALING WITH THE
RIGHTS OF CITIZENSHIP
89
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:28,218
AND THE DUTIES OF CITIZENS.
90
00:03:28,242 --> 00:03:29,653
YOU TALK BETTER
WHEN YOU'RE ASLEEP
91
00:03:29,677 --> 00:03:31,054
THAN YOU DO WHEN YOU'RE AWAKE.
92
00:03:31,078 --> 00:03:33,022
GOOD MORNING, EVERYBODY.
93
00:03:33,046 --> 00:03:35,425
SAY, DID YOU HEAR THE DYNAMITE?
ISN'T IT UTTERLY EXCITING?
94
00:03:35,449 --> 00:03:36,826
OH, VERY UTTERLY.
95
00:03:36,850 --> 00:03:38,094
IT'S ABOUT TIME THEY GOT RID
96
00:03:38,118 --> 00:03:39,529
OF SOME OF THOSE
HORRIBLE OLD BUILDINGS.
97
00:03:39,553 --> 00:03:40,763
THAT'S RIGHT, PRINCESS.
98
00:03:40,787 --> 00:03:42,666
ESPECIALLY THE OLD MEETING HALL.
99
00:03:42,690 --> 00:03:44,401
WHAT DO YOU MEAN,
THE OLD MEETING HALL?
100
00:03:44,425 --> 00:03:46,236
IT DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING
ABOUT THAT IN THE PAPER.
101
00:03:46,260 --> 00:03:47,737
BILLY TOLD ME. BILLY WHO?
102
00:03:47,761 --> 00:03:49,472
BILLY MITCHELL, THE MAYOR'S SON.
103
00:03:49,496 --> 00:03:51,708
BETTY'S GOT A CRUSH ON HIM.
104
00:03:51,732 --> 00:03:52,942
ON THE MAYOR?
105
00:03:52,966 --> 00:03:54,411
OH, DON'T BE SILLY, BUD.
106
00:03:54,435 --> 00:03:55,745
BETTY, ARE YOU SURE?
107
00:03:55,769 --> 00:03:57,447
I HAVEN'T GOT A CRUSH ON HIM!
108
00:03:57,471 --> 00:03:59,015
HE'S GOT A CRUSH ON ME.
109
00:03:59,039 --> 00:04:00,883
THEN THE MAYOR WAS
HERE THIS MORNING.
110
00:04:00,907 --> 00:04:02,852
BUD, BE QUIET.
BETTY, ARE YOU SURE
111
00:04:02,876 --> 00:04:04,854
BILLY SAID THE OLD MEETING HALL?
112
00:04:04,878 --> 00:04:07,023
MM-HMM. HIS FATHER
SAID THE BUILDING'S SO OLD,
113
00:04:07,047 --> 00:04:09,292
IT'S A WONDER IT
HASN'T FALLEN TO PIECES.
114
00:04:09,316 --> 00:04:11,094
OH, HE DID, DID HE?
115
00:04:11,118 --> 00:04:13,796
I SUPPOSE HE'D LIKE TO SEE THE
STATUE OF LIBERTY TORN DOWN
116
00:04:13,820 --> 00:04:15,198
BECAUSE IT'S SO OLD.
117
00:04:15,222 --> 00:04:17,066
OR THE LINCOLN
MEMORIAL, OR ANY ONE OF...
118
00:04:17,090 --> 00:04:18,368
JIM, CALM DOWN.
119
00:04:18,392 --> 00:04:20,470
IT'S JUST A RICKETY OLD SHACK.
120
00:04:20,494 --> 00:04:23,005
THAT RICKETY OLD
SHACK HAPPENS TO BE
121
00:04:23,029 --> 00:04:25,442
ONE OF THE MOST TREASURED
BUILDINGS IN THIS TOWN.
122
00:04:25,466 --> 00:04:28,144
IT'S A MEMORIAL... NOT ONLY
TO THE PEOPLE OF SPRINGFIELD,
123
00:04:28,168 --> 00:04:30,780
BUT TO THE MANY GREAT MEN
WHO'VE STOOD ON ITS STEPS.
124
00:04:30,804 --> 00:04:33,250
EVEN GEORGE WASHINGTON STOPPED
THERE ON HIS WAY TO NEW YORK
125
00:04:33,274 --> 00:04:35,985
FOR HIS INAUGURATION IN 1789.
126
00:04:36,009 --> 00:04:37,587
I REMEMBER WHEN THE
CITY OF SPRINGFIELD
127
00:04:37,611 --> 00:04:38,988
VOTED TO HAVE A PLAQUE PUT THERE
128
00:04:39,012 --> 00:04:40,857
IN MEMORY OF THE OCCASION.
129
00:04:40,881 --> 00:04:42,959
DID YOU SAY GEORGE
WASHINGTON, DAD?
130
00:04:42,983 --> 00:04:44,160
THAT'S RIGHT, SON.
131
00:04:44,184 --> 00:04:46,296
FATHER OF OUR
COUNTRY? YES, INDEED.
132
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,197
GEE, I DIDN'T EVEN
KNOW YOU KNEW HIM.
133
00:04:48,221 --> 00:04:50,634
BUD, GO BACK TO SLEEP.
134
00:04:50,658 --> 00:04:52,302
THEY DIDN'T EVEN
HAVE THE DECENCY
135
00:04:52,326 --> 00:04:54,170
TO ASK THE PEOPLE IF
THAT'S WHAT WE WANTED.
136
00:04:54,194 --> 00:04:56,506
FATHER, DON'T YOU
BELIEVE IN PROGRESS?
137
00:04:56,530 --> 00:04:58,775
OF COURSE I BELIEVE IN PROGRESS.
138
00:04:58,799 --> 00:05:00,810
BUT I ALSO BELIEVE IN SENTIMENT.
139
00:05:00,834 --> 00:05:02,679
I THINK IT'S A CRIME TO
DESTROY SOMETHING
140
00:05:02,703 --> 00:05:05,749
THAT REPRESENTS THE TRADITION AND
HISTORY, AS THE OLD MEETING HALL DOES.
141
00:05:05,773 --> 00:05:07,617
FURHTERMORE, I WANT TO
SEE THAT SOMETHING IS DONE
142
00:05:07,641 --> 00:05:10,186
TO STOP THIS RECKLESSNESS
OF OUR CITY OFFICIALS.
143
00:05:10,210 --> 00:05:11,821
I'M GOING TO APPEAL
TO THE PEOPLE.
144
00:05:11,845 --> 00:05:13,390
I THINK THEY SHOULD BE WARNED.
145
00:05:13,414 --> 00:05:15,158
PAUL REVERE DID IT
IN THE 18th CENTURY.
146
00:05:15,182 --> 00:05:17,427
JIM ANDERSON WILL DO
IT IN THE 20th CENTURY.
147
00:05:17,451 --> 00:05:19,095
I'M GOING TO MAKE MYSELF HEARD
148
00:05:19,119 --> 00:05:21,731
IF I HAVE TO GO TO
THE MAYOR HIMSELF.
149
00:05:21,755 --> 00:05:23,966
AND I SAY TO YOU,
MAYOR MITCHELL,
150
00:05:23,990 --> 00:05:26,770
THAT ANY TIME A PUBLIC SERVANT
THINKS HE'S BIGGER THAN THE PEOPLE,
151
00:05:26,794 --> 00:05:28,971
THAT'S THE TIME WE
HAVE TO TAKE ACTION.
152
00:05:28,995 --> 00:05:32,409
THAT'S THE TIME WE HAVE
TO MAKE OURSELVES HEARD.
153
00:05:32,433 --> 00:05:35,211
THAT'S WHAT I'LL TELL MAYOR
MITCHELL IF I EVER MEET UP WITH HIM.
154
00:05:35,235 --> 00:05:38,515
TO THINK I VOTED FOR THAT BUNCH
OF INCOMPETENTS AT CITY HALL.
155
00:05:38,539 --> 00:05:40,149
THE CHANGE FROM
JUDGE TO MAYOR...
156
00:05:40,173 --> 00:05:42,051
THAT REALLY TURNED
MITCHELL'S HEAD. DAD...
157
00:05:42,075 --> 00:05:43,720
THIS IS SOMETHING THAT
CONCERNS ALL OF US.
158
00:05:43,744 --> 00:05:45,522
AND WE SHOULD ALL DO
WHAT WE POSSIBLY CAN
159
00:05:45,546 --> 00:05:48,591
TO STOP THIS CHICANERY OF
OUR SO-CALLED CITY OFFICIALS.
160
00:05:48,615 --> 00:05:51,761
AND THIS MEANS YOU AND
YOU AND YOU, AND EVEN YOU.
161
00:05:51,785 --> 00:05:53,229
DAD... MARK MY WORDS.
162
00:05:53,253 --> 00:05:54,698
AFTER NEXT ELECTION,
163
00:05:54,722 --> 00:05:56,566
MAYOR MITCHELL WILL BE
STANDING ON THE STREET CORNER
164
00:05:56,590 --> 00:05:58,501
WITH A MONKEY AND A HAND ORGAN.
165
00:05:58,525 --> 00:05:59,936
I'M GOING TO WORK NOW, MARGARET.
166
00:05:59,960 --> 00:06:02,071
I'LL SEE YOU AT DINNER.
167
00:06:02,095 --> 00:06:03,962
Bud: DAD.
168
00:06:05,499 --> 00:06:07,577
ALL RIGHT, BUD. WHAT IS IT?
169
00:06:07,601 --> 00:06:08,933
(bang, rumbling)
170
00:06:17,244 --> 00:06:20,089
I, UH, I JUST WANTED
TO REMIND YOU...
171
00:06:20,113 --> 00:06:22,394
UH, IT'S SATURDAY. YOU
DON'T HAVE TO GO TO WORK.
172
00:06:24,017 --> 00:06:25,995
I'M NOT GOING TO WORK, BUD.
173
00:06:26,019 --> 00:06:28,231
I'M GOING TO MAKE A
TOUR OF INSPECTION...
174
00:06:28,255 --> 00:06:31,490
AND CHECK THE AIR RAID
SIRENS AND BOMB SHELTERS.
175
00:06:41,935 --> 00:06:44,113
JUST LOOKS LIKE AN
OLD BUILDING TO ME.
176
00:06:44,137 --> 00:06:45,248
ME, TOO.
177
00:06:45,272 --> 00:06:46,783
BUT DADDY SAYS HE LOVES IT.
178
00:06:46,807 --> 00:06:48,885
HE LOVES WHAT IT
REPRESENTS, KATHY.
179
00:06:48,909 --> 00:06:51,087
IT HOLDS MANY
WONDERFUL MEMORIES.
180
00:06:51,111 --> 00:06:52,589
LIKE WHAT?
181
00:06:52,613 --> 00:06:55,625
WELL, YOUR FATHER WENT
TO HIS FIRST DANCE HERE.
182
00:06:55,649 --> 00:06:57,093
NO WONDER HE CAN'T FORGET IT.
183
00:06:57,117 --> 00:06:58,528
DID HE TAKE YOU, MOTHER?
184
00:06:58,552 --> 00:07:00,797
NO. BUT HE TOOK ME HOME.
185
00:07:00,821 --> 00:07:03,065
THAT WAS OUR FIRST DATE.
186
00:07:03,089 --> 00:07:04,667
AND WHEN WE GRADUATED
FROM HIGH SCHOOL,
187
00:07:04,691 --> 00:07:06,503
THEY HELD THE SERVICES HERE.
188
00:07:06,527 --> 00:07:08,371
OH, I'LL NEVER FORGET.
189
00:07:08,395 --> 00:07:10,940
YOUR FATHER HAD BEEN SAVING
HIS MONEY FOR A WHOLE YEAR
190
00:07:10,964 --> 00:07:12,275
IN ORDER TO BUY A NEW SUIT.
191
00:07:12,299 --> 00:07:14,043
YOU MEAN HE HAD
TO BUY IT HIMSELF?
192
00:07:14,067 --> 00:07:17,547
THAT'S RIGHT. HE
WAS SO PROUD OF IT.
193
00:07:17,571 --> 00:07:20,850
AND TWO YEARS LATER,
HE PROPOSED TO ME.
194
00:07:20,874 --> 00:07:22,419
I WAS SITTING RIGHT HERE.
195
00:07:22,443 --> 00:07:24,086
DID HE GET DOWN ON HIS KNEES?
196
00:07:24,110 --> 00:07:25,955
(laughs) HE COULDN'T!
197
00:07:25,979 --> 00:07:27,690
HE WAS WEARING THE SAME SUIT.
198
00:07:27,714 --> 00:07:29,292
(laughs)
199
00:07:29,316 --> 00:07:31,628
GEE, I WISH THERE WAS SOMETHING
WE COULD DO FOR FATHER.
200
00:07:31,652 --> 00:07:33,530
WELL, WE COULD
BUY HIM A NEW SUIT.
201
00:07:33,554 --> 00:07:35,865
I MEAN ABOUT THIS
BUILDING, GOON-FACE.
202
00:07:35,889 --> 00:07:37,066
OH.
203
00:07:37,090 --> 00:07:38,802
MAYBE I COULD DO SOMETHING.
204
00:07:38,826 --> 00:07:40,570
WHAT COULD YOU DO, SQUIRT?
205
00:07:40,594 --> 00:07:42,305
IF I JUST SAT RIGHT HERE,
206
00:07:42,329 --> 00:07:43,640
THEY COULDN'T
BLOW UP THE BUILDING.
207
00:07:43,664 --> 00:07:45,341
LET'S DON'T TAKE A CHANCE.
208
00:07:45,365 --> 00:07:46,976
COME ON, KATHY. SHALL
WE DO OUR SHOPPING?
209
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:48,110
OKAY.
210
00:07:48,134 --> 00:07:49,446
MOTHER, I HAVE A
FEW THINGS TO DO.
211
00:07:49,470 --> 00:07:50,613
I'LL SEE YOU LATER.
ALL RIGHT, DEAR.
212
00:07:50,637 --> 00:07:52,281
COMING, BUD? NOT RIGHT NOW.
213
00:07:52,305 --> 00:07:53,638
ALL RIGHT, BUD.
214
00:07:55,175 --> 00:07:57,342
(jackhammer drilling)
215
00:08:00,547 --> 00:08:02,347
(drilling)
216
00:08:07,788 --> 00:08:09,332
AND ANOTHER THING...
217
00:08:09,356 --> 00:08:11,300
HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME TO
GET MY WORK DONE AROUND HERE
218
00:08:11,324 --> 00:08:13,302
WHAT THAT SO-CALLED
SUPERINTENDENT
219
00:08:13,326 --> 00:08:17,306
KEEPS BOTHERING ME WITH HIS
STUPID, RIDICULOUS SUGGESTIONS?!
220
00:08:17,330 --> 00:08:18,675
AND FURTHERMORE...
221
00:08:18,699 --> 00:08:21,010
ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT, I'LL WAIT.
222
00:08:21,034 --> 00:08:22,679
WELL, WHAT DO YOU WANT?
223
00:08:22,703 --> 00:08:25,314
ARE YOU THE FOREMAN
OF THIS PROJECT, SIR? I AM.
224
00:08:25,338 --> 00:08:28,017
HOW SOON ARE THEY GONNA
PULL DOWN THE OLD MEETING HALL?
225
00:08:28,041 --> 00:08:30,286
TOMORROW, IF MY MEN CAN REMEMBER
226
00:08:30,310 --> 00:08:32,421
THIS AIN'T A TEA PARTY
THEY'RE INVITED TO.
227
00:08:32,445 --> 00:08:33,656
ANY OBJECTIONS?
228
00:08:33,680 --> 00:08:36,826
NO, SIR. UH... BUT
MY FATHER HAS.
229
00:08:36,850 --> 00:08:39,929
YOU SEE, HE WORE HIS FIRST
NEW SUIT ON THOSE STEPS,
230
00:08:39,953 --> 00:08:42,231
AND WENT TO HIS
FIRST DANCE THERE.
231
00:08:42,255 --> 00:08:44,734
AND THAT'S HOW HE MET MY MOTHER.
232
00:08:44,758 --> 00:08:47,670
AND, WELL, MY FATHER FEELS...
233
00:08:47,694 --> 00:08:49,739
THAT YOU SHOULDN'T
TEAR DOWN THE BUILDING.
234
00:08:49,763 --> 00:08:51,574
LOOK, YOU TELL YOUR FATHER
235
00:08:51,598 --> 00:08:55,366
THAT IF HE WANTS TO DO ANYTHING
ABOUT IT, TO COME AND SEE ME.
236
00:09:11,284 --> 00:09:13,362
GEE, BETTY, IT'S
AWFULLY NICE OF YOU
237
00:09:13,386 --> 00:09:14,931
TO BUY ME A MALTED MILK.
238
00:09:14,955 --> 00:09:16,766
GLAD TO DO IT, BILLY.
239
00:09:16,790 --> 00:09:20,036
BY THE WAY, HOW'S YOUR FATHER?
240
00:09:20,060 --> 00:09:21,971
WHO? YOUR FATHER.
241
00:09:21,995 --> 00:09:25,742
OH, HIM. SINCE HE'S BEEN
MAYOR, I DON'T SEE MUCH OF HIM.
242
00:09:25,766 --> 00:09:27,777
OH.
243
00:09:27,801 --> 00:09:29,211
DO YOU SEE MUCH OF YOUR FATHER?
244
00:09:29,235 --> 00:09:33,149
OH, DEFINITELY. WE HEAR
HIM A GREAT DEAL, TOO.
245
00:09:33,173 --> 00:09:36,485
PARTICULARLY WHEN YOUR
FATHER SPENDS ALL OF HIS TIME
246
00:09:36,509 --> 00:09:38,988
GOING AROUND TEARING
DOWN BUILDINGS,
247
00:09:39,012 --> 00:09:40,957
DESTROYING PEOPLE'S MEMORIES,
248
00:09:40,981 --> 00:09:42,324
UPSETTING TRADITION
249
00:09:42,348 --> 00:09:44,761
AND SACRIFICING
SENTIMENT FOR PROGRESS.
250
00:09:44,785 --> 00:09:47,085
NO WONDER HE'S BUSY.
251
00:09:48,655 --> 00:09:52,134
BILLY, DO YOU THINK MAYBE
YOU COULD TALK TO HIM?
252
00:09:52,158 --> 00:09:53,770
MAYBE YOU COULD PERSUADE HIM
253
00:09:53,794 --> 00:09:55,705
THAT HE SHOULDN'T TEAR
DOWN THE OLD MEETING HALL
254
00:09:55,729 --> 00:09:57,440
JUST TO PUT IN A NEW STREET.
255
00:09:57,464 --> 00:09:59,375
HOW CAN I DO IT
IF I NEVER SEE HIM?
256
00:09:59,399 --> 00:10:00,944
YOU CAN DO IT.
257
00:10:00,968 --> 00:10:03,468
BESIDES, I'M BUYING THE MALTS.
258
00:10:04,771 --> 00:10:06,783
ARE YOU TRYING TO BRIBE ME?
259
00:10:06,807 --> 00:10:08,451
SORT OF.
260
00:10:08,475 --> 00:10:12,010
NO, I CAN'T. IT
WOULDN'T BE ETHICAL.
261
00:10:13,614 --> 00:10:15,491
IS THAT YOUR FINAL ANSWER?
262
00:10:15,515 --> 00:10:17,193
YES.
263
00:10:17,217 --> 00:10:19,328
ALL RIGHT, THEN, AS LONG
AS YOU'RE BEING SO ETHICAL,
264
00:10:19,352 --> 00:10:21,672
YOU CAN PAY FOR
THESE MALTS YOURSELF!
265
00:10:22,956 --> 00:10:25,001
I BOUGHT SOME STEAK FOR DINNER.
266
00:10:25,025 --> 00:10:26,569
THERE'S NOTHING
WRONG WITH YOUR FATHER
267
00:10:26,593 --> 00:10:28,392
THAT A GOOD MEAL WON'T CURE.
268
00:10:32,532 --> 00:10:33,876
HI.
269
00:10:33,900 --> 00:10:36,145
WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU?
270
00:10:36,169 --> 00:10:38,436
I'M JUST WORRIED
ABOUT FATHER, THAT'S ALL.
271
00:10:42,743 --> 00:10:44,583
WELL, YOU LOOK LIKE BOOKENDS.
272
00:10:46,346 --> 00:10:48,625
YOU DON'T THINK FATHER WOULD
DO ANYTHING DESPERATE, DO YOU?
273
00:10:48,649 --> 00:10:50,259
LIKE WHAT?
274
00:10:50,283 --> 00:10:52,629
MAYBE HE'S SUFFERING SO
MUCH, HE WON'T COME HOME.
275
00:10:52,653 --> 00:10:54,430
OH, HE'LL COME HOME.
276
00:10:54,454 --> 00:10:56,933
JOE PHILLIPS HAD AN UNCLE
THAT DIDN'T COME HOME ONE NIGHT.
277
00:10:56,957 --> 00:10:59,235
IT WAS HIS WIFE'S BIRTHDAY, TOO.
278
00:10:59,259 --> 00:11:01,403
HE STOPPED IN TO BUY
HER A BOX OF CANDY,
279
00:11:01,427 --> 00:11:04,674
AND THE CANDY STORE WAS RIGHT
NEXT DOOR TO A TRAVEL AGENCY.
280
00:11:04,698 --> 00:11:07,644
THEY NEVER HEARD FROM HIM AGAIN.
281
00:11:07,668 --> 00:11:09,445
I THINK MAYBE
YOU'D BETTER GO OUT
282
00:11:09,469 --> 00:11:11,480
AND GET THAT STEPLADDER AND
PAIL AWAY FROM THE FRONT DOOR
283
00:11:11,504 --> 00:11:14,216
BEFORE YOUR FATHER FALLS OVER
IT, OR WE'LL NEVER SEE YOU AGAIN.
284
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:15,785
(thud)
285
00:11:15,809 --> 00:11:18,287
GOOD HEAVENS!
286
00:11:18,311 --> 00:11:19,956
JIM, ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
287
00:11:19,980 --> 00:11:22,091
OF COURSE, DEAR. JUST KNOCKED
THE LADDER OVER, THAT'S ALL.
288
00:11:22,115 --> 00:11:23,960
GOSH, DAD, I'M SORRY.
THAT'S ALL RIGHT.
289
00:11:23,984 --> 00:11:25,361
HE WAS CLEANING UP THE PLASTER.
290
00:11:25,385 --> 00:11:26,462
YEAH, I WANTED TO SURPRISE YOU.
291
00:11:26,486 --> 00:11:29,032
YOU CERTAINLY DID. THANKS, SON.
292
00:11:29,056 --> 00:11:31,834
WAIT TILL YOU HEAR THE
SURPRISE I HAVE FOR ALL OF YOU.
293
00:11:31,858 --> 00:11:33,102
WHAT IS IT, JIM?
294
00:11:33,126 --> 00:11:34,704
YOU REMEMBER THAT
SMALL DISCUSSION
295
00:11:34,728 --> 00:11:37,339
WE HAD THIS MORNING
ABOUT THE OLD MEETING HALL?
296
00:11:37,363 --> 00:11:40,242
SMALL? YOU PRACTICALLY MADE
MORE NOISE THAN THE DYNAMITE.
297
00:11:40,266 --> 00:11:41,510
WHAT ABOUT IT, FATHER?
298
00:11:41,534 --> 00:11:44,013
(chuckles) I DON'T LIKE TO BRAG,
299
00:11:44,037 --> 00:11:47,083
BUT I HAVE A FEELING THAT SOME
OF THAT NOISE REACHED CITY HALL,
300
00:11:47,107 --> 00:11:49,485
BECAUSE MAYOR MITCHELL HAS
ASKED TO SEE ME TOMORROW MORNING.
301
00:11:49,509 --> 00:11:51,087
JIM, HOW WONDERFUL.
302
00:11:51,111 --> 00:11:53,522
DADDY! SHH. YOUR
FATHER'S TALKING.
303
00:11:53,546 --> 00:11:55,124
SOMEHOW THE WORD
MUST'VE GOTTEN TO HIM
304
00:11:55,148 --> 00:11:57,060
THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE
UNHAPPY WITH THIS PROJECT.
305
00:11:57,084 --> 00:11:59,361
WELL, DAD, I DID A LITTLE
CAMPAIGNING MYSELF.
306
00:11:59,385 --> 00:12:00,697
I DID, TOO, FATHER.
307
00:12:00,721 --> 00:12:02,165
DADDY! SHH.
308
00:12:02,189 --> 00:12:04,200
HE CALLED MY SECRETARY
JUST A LITTLE WHILE AGO.
309
00:12:04,224 --> 00:12:06,502
AS A MATTER OF FACT, I
TRIED TO DO MY BIT, TOO.
310
00:12:06,526 --> 00:12:08,838
I TALKED TO SEVERAL
MEMBERS OF THE P.T.A.
311
00:12:08,862 --> 00:12:10,039
THAT'S NICE, MARGARET.
312
00:12:10,063 --> 00:12:12,208
DADDY, I HELPED THE MOST.
313
00:12:12,232 --> 00:12:14,143
WELL, WHAT DID YOU DO, KITTEN?
314
00:12:14,167 --> 00:12:16,079
I WROTE A LETTER TO THE MAYOR.
315
00:12:16,103 --> 00:12:18,347
ALL BY YOURSELF? UH-HUH.
316
00:12:18,371 --> 00:12:20,416
HOW ABOUT THAT, MARGARET?
SHE WROTE A LETTER.
317
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,152
I HAD A HARD TIME REMEMBERING
EVERYTHING YOU SAID,
318
00:12:23,176 --> 00:12:26,222
BUT I GOT THE PART IN ABOUT
THE MONKEY AND THE HAND ORGAN.
319
00:12:26,246 --> 00:12:28,557
YOU DON'T SAY? (laughs)
320
00:12:28,581 --> 00:12:30,760
YOU... WHAT?
321
00:12:30,784 --> 00:12:33,395
I HAD TO LOOK UP HOW
TO SPELL "GRAFTER".
322
00:12:33,419 --> 00:12:35,798
I DIDN'T WANT TO
LEAVE ANYTHING OUT.
323
00:12:35,822 --> 00:12:39,135
KATHY! YOU WROTE A
LETTER TO THE MAYOR?
324
00:12:39,159 --> 00:12:40,336
UH-HUH.
325
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:41,804
AND YOU QUOTED ME? UH-HUH.
326
00:12:41,828 --> 00:12:43,806
WORD FOR WORD.
327
00:12:43,830 --> 00:12:46,798
NO WONDER HE WANTS TO SEE ME.
328
00:12:53,907 --> 00:12:55,918
ALL RIGHT, LET'S NOT PANIC.
329
00:12:55,942 --> 00:12:59,555
AFTER ALL, KATHY DID IT BECAUSE
SHE THOUGHT SHE WAS HELPING ME.
330
00:12:59,579 --> 00:13:00,723
DIDN'T YOU, KATHY?
331
00:13:00,747 --> 00:13:02,491
I WAS BEING A GOOD CIVICS.
332
00:13:02,515 --> 00:13:03,760
YEAH. (laughs)
333
00:13:03,784 --> 00:13:05,161
AFTER ALL, THE
MAYOR IS A SMART MAN.
334
00:13:05,185 --> 00:13:06,729
HE'S NOT GONNA PAY ANY ATTENTION
335
00:13:06,753 --> 00:13:08,664
TO A LETTER WRITTEN
BY A LITTLE GIRL. (laughs)
336
00:13:08,688 --> 00:13:09,932
THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT, DADDY,
337
00:13:09,956 --> 00:13:11,923
SO I SIGNED YOUR NAME.
338
00:13:23,904 --> 00:13:26,382
OH, JIM, I THINK YOU'RE
MAKING A VERY BIG MOUNTAIN
339
00:13:26,406 --> 00:13:27,917
OUT OF A VERY SMALL ANTHILL.
340
00:13:27,941 --> 00:13:30,019
THERE'S NOTHING SMALL
ABOUT GOING TO JAIL.
341
00:13:30,043 --> 00:13:32,822
ARE YOU GOING TO JAIL,
DAD? IT'S VERY POSSIBLE.
342
00:13:32,846 --> 00:13:34,757
WRITING A LETTER LIKE THAT TO
THE MAYOR IS A SERIOUS OFFENSE.
343
00:13:34,781 --> 00:13:36,625
BUT, DADDY... PLEASE, KATHY!
344
00:13:36,649 --> 00:13:39,028
ALL YOU HAVE TO IS TO GO TO
MAYOR MITCHELL AND EXPLAIN.
345
00:13:39,052 --> 00:13:41,430
WHAT MAKES YOU THINK HE'LL
EVEN GIVE ME A CHANCE TO EXPLAIN?
346
00:13:41,454 --> 00:13:44,200
HEY, MAYBE BILLY MITCHELL
COULD DO SOMETHING.
347
00:13:44,224 --> 00:13:47,636
HE'S NOT TALKING TO ME. I
MADE HIM PAY FOR THE MALTS.
348
00:13:47,660 --> 00:13:50,539
JUST TELL HIM THAT YOUR YOUNGEST
DAUGHTER WROTE THE LETTER.
349
00:13:50,563 --> 00:13:52,074
THEN HE'LL ASK WHERE
SHE PICKED UP THE IDEA.
350
00:13:52,098 --> 00:13:53,676
THE MAYOR ISN'T A STUPID MAN.
351
00:13:53,700 --> 00:13:55,511
I THOUGHT YOU SAID HE WAS.
352
00:13:55,535 --> 00:13:57,680
HE KNOWS THAT CHILDREN
DON'T HAVE POLITICAL OPINIONS
353
00:13:57,704 --> 00:14:00,116
THEY'RE LIKE PARROTS. THEY
REPEAT WHATEVER THEY HEAR.
354
00:14:00,140 --> 00:14:02,084
DADDY... KATHY, DON'T PESTER ME.
355
00:14:02,108 --> 00:14:05,188
BUT, DADDY, YOU SAID...
I KNOW WHAT I SAID!
356
00:14:05,212 --> 00:14:07,489
KATHY, GO... PLAY OR SOMETHING.
357
00:14:07,513 --> 00:14:09,391
I'VE GOT TO FIGURE OUT SOME
WAY TO GET OUT OF THIS MESS,
358
00:14:09,415 --> 00:14:11,216
AND YOU'RE NOT HELPING ANY.
359
00:14:18,158 --> 00:14:20,703
JIM, DON'T YOU THINK YOU'RE
BEING A LITTLE TOO HARD ON HER?
360
00:14:20,727 --> 00:14:22,972
AFTER ALL, SHE'S STILL A BABY.
361
00:14:22,996 --> 00:14:25,374
SHE'S OLD ENOUGH
TO WRITE A LETTER.
362
00:14:25,398 --> 00:14:27,409
GEE, DAD, I GOT AN IDEA. YES?
363
00:14:27,433 --> 00:14:29,946
WHY COULDN'T YOU SAY
THE LETTER WAS A FORGERY?
364
00:14:29,970 --> 00:14:31,848
WHO FORGED IT?
365
00:14:31,872 --> 00:14:33,682
OH.
366
00:14:33,706 --> 00:14:36,385
IF I JUST KNEW ALL SHE
SAID IN THAT LETTER.
367
00:14:36,409 --> 00:14:38,554
THERE'S ONLY ONE
WAY TO FIND OUT.
368
00:14:38,578 --> 00:14:40,189
ASK THE AUTHOR.
369
00:14:40,213 --> 00:14:42,624
DAD, THE MAYOR WOULD KNOW
WHAT WAS IN IT. WHY NOT ASK HIM?
370
00:14:42,648 --> 00:14:44,827
BUD, I'M GONNA HAVE TO
FACE HIM SOON ENOUGH.
371
00:14:44,851 --> 00:14:46,329
WHERE DID LITTLE MISS FIX-IT GO?
372
00:14:46,353 --> 00:14:47,986
UPSTAIRS. UPSTAIRS.
373
00:14:55,661 --> 00:14:59,175
CAN'T DO NOTHIN'
RIGHT AROUND HERE.
374
00:14:59,199 --> 00:15:04,002
NOBODY LOVES ME.
EVERYBODY HATES ME.
375
00:15:05,338 --> 00:15:07,283
OH, KATHY, THINK.
376
00:15:07,307 --> 00:15:10,719
YOU MUST BE ABLE TO REMEMBER
WHAT YOU WROTE IN THAT LETTER.
377
00:15:10,743 --> 00:15:13,956
I TOLD YOU...
EVERYTHING YOU SAID.
378
00:15:13,980 --> 00:15:15,925
BUT I SAID A LOT OF THINGS.
379
00:15:15,949 --> 00:15:17,949
IT WAS A LONG LETTER.
380
00:15:22,722 --> 00:15:24,488
EXCUSE ME, PLEASE.
381
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:35,733
LEAVING FOR GOOD, IS THAT RIGHT?
382
00:15:38,538 --> 00:15:39,648
UH-HUH.
383
00:15:39,672 --> 00:15:41,772
ARE YOU GOING TO
WRITE SOMETIMES?
384
00:15:43,743 --> 00:15:45,054
I DON'T KNOW.
385
00:15:45,078 --> 00:15:47,545
YOU'RE PRETTY GOOD
AT WRITING LETTERS.
386
00:15:52,218 --> 00:15:53,762
I'LL CARRY THAT FOR YOU.
387
00:15:53,786 --> 00:15:55,197
DADDY!
388
00:15:55,221 --> 00:15:56,399
YES, KITTEN?
389
00:15:56,423 --> 00:15:58,700
I WAS JUST TRYING TO HELP.
390
00:15:58,724 --> 00:16:01,637
I KNOW YOU WERE, HONEY.
391
00:16:01,661 --> 00:16:04,206
BUT WRITING UNKIND
REMARKS IN A LETTER
392
00:16:04,230 --> 00:16:05,874
ISN'T GOING TO HELP ANYBODY.
393
00:16:05,898 --> 00:16:07,543
IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING YOU
WANT TO SAY TO SOMEBODY,
394
00:16:07,567 --> 00:16:08,945
TELL THEM TO THEIR FACE.
395
00:16:08,969 --> 00:16:11,013
BUT YOU DIDN'T TELL
THE MAYOR THIS MORNING
396
00:16:11,037 --> 00:16:12,881
WHAT YOU THOUGHT.
397
00:16:12,905 --> 00:16:14,683
WELL, THAT'S DIFFERENT, KATHY.
398
00:16:14,707 --> 00:16:18,220
WHAT'S SAID AT HOME, IN THE
PRESENCE OF ONE'S OWN FAMILY...
399
00:16:18,244 --> 00:16:20,589
THAT SHOULD BE
KEPT CONFIDENTIAL.
400
00:16:20,613 --> 00:16:22,624
THEN I SHOULDN'T
HAVE TOLD THE MAYOR
401
00:16:22,648 --> 00:16:24,560
THAT YOU SAID HE WAS A CROOK.
402
00:16:24,584 --> 00:16:27,729
KATHLEEN LOUISE ANDERSON, I
SAID A LOT OF THINGS THIS MORNING,
403
00:16:27,753 --> 00:16:29,898
BUT I DID NOT SAY
HE WAS A CROOK.
404
00:16:29,922 --> 00:16:33,324
I KNOW YOU DIDN'T.
THAT WAS MY IDEA.
405
00:16:36,997 --> 00:16:38,907
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?
406
00:16:38,931 --> 00:16:40,965
I THINK I'D BETTER PACK.
407
00:16:48,008 --> 00:16:50,453
SHE DIDN'T LEAVE ANYTHING OUT.
408
00:16:50,477 --> 00:16:52,488
IT SEEMS I ALSO
CALLED HIM A CROOK.
409
00:16:52,512 --> 00:16:54,357
OH, DEAR. OH, FINE.
410
00:16:54,381 --> 00:16:57,526
DAD, I WAS JUST THINKING.
411
00:16:57,550 --> 00:16:59,228
IF YOU GO TO JAIL,
412
00:16:59,252 --> 00:17:00,929
THAT MEANS I'LL BE HEAD
OF THE HOUSE, DOESN'T IT?
413
00:17:00,953 --> 00:17:02,164
Margaret: BUD.
414
00:17:02,188 --> 00:17:03,832
HOW LONG DO YOU
THINK YOU'LL BE IN FOR?
415
00:17:03,856 --> 00:17:05,767
FOR LIFE AT LEAST. LIFE?
416
00:17:05,791 --> 00:17:07,370
NOW, DON'T TAKE
IT TOO HARD, SON.
417
00:17:07,394 --> 00:17:09,472
I'LL MAKE ARRANGEMENTS TO SEE
THAT YOU GET YOUR ALLOWANCE.
418
00:17:09,496 --> 00:17:11,573
GOSH, DAD, YOU
DON'T HAVE TO DO THAT.
419
00:17:11,597 --> 00:17:15,211
WELL, FOR ONCE, MONEY ISN'T
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN LIFE.
420
00:17:15,235 --> 00:17:17,079
I CAN SEE YOU ON VISITING DAYS
421
00:17:17,103 --> 00:17:19,384
AND PICK UP MY ALLOWANCE
AT THE SAME TIME.
422
00:17:20,673 --> 00:17:24,387
BUD, YOUR FATHER'S
NOT GOING TO JAIL. OH.
423
00:17:24,411 --> 00:17:26,522
WELL, I'M NOT GONNA WIN
A MEDAL OF HONOR, EITHER.
424
00:17:26,546 --> 00:17:29,558
OH, THE MAYOR'S NOT GONNA GET
ANGRY OVER A LITTLE GIRL'S LETTER.
425
00:17:29,582 --> 00:17:31,627
HE'S PROBABLY LAUGHING
ABOUT IT RIGHT NOW.
426
00:17:31,651 --> 00:17:33,896
I'LL BE HE'S LAUGHING.
HE'S LAUGHING SO HARD
427
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:35,864
HE PROBABLY CAN'T MAKE UP
HIS MIND WHETHER TO HANG ME
428
00:17:35,888 --> 00:17:38,056
OR SEND ME UP BEFORE
THE FIRING SQUAD.
429
00:18:11,791 --> 00:18:13,869
(whispers) THIS IS PERFECTLY
RIDICULOUS, MARGARET.
430
00:18:13,893 --> 00:18:15,938
THERE WAS NO NEED FOR
ALL OF YOU TO BE HERE.
431
00:18:15,962 --> 00:18:18,174
YOU'RE RIGHT,
DADDY. I THINK I'LL GO.
432
00:18:18,198 --> 00:18:21,143
YOU ARE THE ONE PERSON
WHO BELONGS HERE.
433
00:18:21,167 --> 00:18:23,479
YOU MIGHT NEED US
TO HELP EXPLAIN, JIM.
434
00:18:23,503 --> 00:18:25,147
AFTER ALL, WE'RE YOUR FAMILY.
435
00:18:25,171 --> 00:18:27,816
UNITED WE STAND,
DIVIDED WE FALL.
436
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:31,209
I FEEL LIKE I'M GOING
TO BE EXECUTED.
437
00:18:32,845 --> 00:18:35,813
SINCE WHEN IS "CROOK"
SPELLED WITH TWO Ks?
438
00:18:39,352 --> 00:18:42,131
I SHOULD'VE HAD YOU
LOOK IT OVER, DADDY.
439
00:18:42,155 --> 00:18:43,765
YOU CERTAINLY SHOULD HAVE.
440
00:18:43,789 --> 00:18:46,569
MAYOR MITCHELL, I'D
LIKE TO SAY A FEW WORDS.
441
00:18:46,593 --> 00:18:48,337
IF I MAY SAY SO, JIM ANDERSON,
442
00:18:48,361 --> 00:18:50,906
YOU'VE ALREADY SAID
QUITE A FEW WORDS,
443
00:18:50,930 --> 00:18:53,342
SUCH AS... I'M A CROOK.
444
00:18:53,366 --> 00:18:55,177
I SHOULD BE STANDING
ON A STREET CORNER
445
00:18:55,201 --> 00:18:57,079
WITH A MONKEY AND A HAND ORGAN.
446
00:18:57,103 --> 00:19:00,282
I... I'M... "INCOMPELENT".
447
00:19:00,306 --> 00:19:02,284
KATHY, THE WORD
IS "INCOMPETENT".
448
00:19:02,308 --> 00:19:03,986
HE KNOWS WHAT I MEANT, MOMMY.
449
00:19:04,010 --> 00:19:08,457
OH, SO YOU'RE THE LITERARY
GENIUS OF THE FAMILY.
450
00:19:08,481 --> 00:19:11,660
IT'S NOTHING.
451
00:19:11,684 --> 00:19:15,063
I WAS REASONABLY SURE THAT YOUR
FATHER DIDN'T WRITE THIS LETTER.
452
00:19:15,087 --> 00:19:17,733
HE JUST MADE SUGGESTIONS. KATHY!
453
00:19:17,757 --> 00:19:19,502
Mayor: WELL, THAT'S OBVIOUS.
454
00:19:19,526 --> 00:19:22,738
FOR EXAMPLE, I'M ALSO A...
455
00:19:22,762 --> 00:19:25,674
UH, STARTS WITH A "GR"?
456
00:19:25,698 --> 00:19:29,811
GRAFTER? GRAFTER, THANK YOU.
457
00:19:29,835 --> 00:19:31,547
I WISH YOU'D LET ME EXPLAIN.
458
00:19:31,571 --> 00:19:33,815
YOU'LL HAVE TIME LATER.
459
00:19:33,839 --> 00:19:36,652
FIRST, I HAVE A FEW
THINGS THAT I WANT TO SAY.
460
00:19:36,676 --> 00:19:40,122
SO, I'M A GRAFTER.
I'M INCOMPETENT.
461
00:19:40,146 --> 00:19:43,626
BUT LET ME TELL YOU THIS.
THERE IS ONLY ONE THING
462
00:19:43,650 --> 00:19:46,128
THAT MAKES PUBLIC OFFICIALS
GRAFTERS AND INCOMPETENT,
463
00:19:46,152 --> 00:19:48,797
AND THAT'S AN INCOMPETENT
GROUP OF CITIZENS.
464
00:19:48,821 --> 00:19:52,568
PEOPLE USUALLY GET THE KIND OF
GOVERNMENT THAT THEY DESERVE.
465
00:19:52,592 --> 00:19:55,271
WE'RE TRYING TO DO A
JOB THE BEST THAT WE CAN.
466
00:19:55,295 --> 00:19:57,339
BUT IT'S UP TO YOU
TO SEE THAT WE DO IT.
467
00:19:57,363 --> 00:19:59,175
WE'RE NOT MINDREADERS.
468
00:19:59,199 --> 00:20:02,478
AND WHEN WE GET OFF ON
THE WRONG FOOT, TELL US.
469
00:20:02,502 --> 00:20:04,446
NOT THE NEWSBOY ON THE CORNER.
470
00:20:04,470 --> 00:20:06,848
AND YOU, MRS. ANDERSON.
471
00:20:06,872 --> 00:20:10,152
YOU CALLED PRACTICALLY
EVERY MEMBER OF THE P.T.A.
472
00:20:10,176 --> 00:20:11,920
AND COMPLAINED
ABOUT THE NEW STREET.
473
00:20:11,944 --> 00:20:15,057
MARGARET, YOU DID? I DID.
474
00:20:15,081 --> 00:20:17,593
AND YOU, BUD. YES, SIR?
475
00:20:17,617 --> 00:20:19,228
WHAT GOOD DO YOU THINK
476
00:20:19,252 --> 00:20:21,564
THE FOREMAN OF THE
CONSTRUCTION JOB COULD DO?
477
00:20:21,588 --> 00:20:23,699
HOW'D YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT?
478
00:20:23,723 --> 00:20:26,268
HE'S MY BROTHER-IN-LAW.
479
00:20:26,292 --> 00:20:29,104
I THINK THIS WHOLE
SITUATION IS RIDICULOUS.
480
00:20:29,128 --> 00:20:32,107
OH, OF COURSE KATHY HAD NO
BUSINESS WRITING SUCH A LETTER.
481
00:20:32,131 --> 00:20:34,243
BUT CHILDREN HEAR THINGS,
482
00:20:34,267 --> 00:20:36,579
AND, WELL, OFTEN THEY TAKE
A SITUATION AND DRAMATIZE IT
483
00:20:36,603 --> 00:20:39,081
UNTIL IT'S COMPLETELY
UNRECOGNIZABLE.
484
00:20:39,105 --> 00:20:41,483
WE APOLOGIZE.
485
00:20:41,507 --> 00:20:44,986
ALL OF US. WE'RE VERY
SORRY IT HAPPENED.
486
00:20:45,010 --> 00:20:47,189
KATHY, SAY YOU'RE
SORRY TO THE MAN.
487
00:20:47,213 --> 00:20:50,626
I'M SORRY, MAYOR
MITCHELL... HONEST.
488
00:20:50,650 --> 00:20:52,228
WELL...
489
00:20:52,252 --> 00:20:55,130
YOU CAN'T HELP IT BECAUSE
YOU'RE A CROOK, I GUESS.
490
00:20:55,154 --> 00:20:56,298
KATHY!
491
00:20:56,322 --> 00:20:58,100
YOU TOLD ME TO
TELL HIM TO HIS FACE!
492
00:20:58,124 --> 00:21:00,936
I... I... I THINK WE'RE JUST TAKING
UP YOUR TIME, MAYOR MITCHELL.
493
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:02,705
I'LL COME BACK AND
CLARIFY THIS MATTER.
494
00:21:02,729 --> 00:21:04,273
OH, WAIT A MINUTE, JIM.
495
00:21:04,297 --> 00:21:05,641
IN ALL FAIRNESS TO YOU,
496
00:21:05,665 --> 00:21:07,376
I THINK YOU SHOULD KNOW
OF THE FEW OTHER THINGS
497
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:09,211
THAT WERE INCLUDED
IN KATHY'S LETTER.
498
00:21:09,235 --> 00:21:10,979
YOU MEAN THERE'S
MORE? THERE'S MORE.
499
00:21:11,003 --> 00:21:12,548
OUTSIDE OF THE
MISERABLE SPELLING,
500
00:21:12,572 --> 00:21:14,116
AND THE ATROCIOUS PUNCTUATION,
501
00:21:14,140 --> 00:21:16,518
AND THE WEIRDEST GRAMMAR
THAT I'VE EVER ENCOUNTERED,
502
00:21:16,542 --> 00:21:20,922
THERE WAS ONE SUGGESTION
THAT WAS REALLY MAKING SENSE.
503
00:21:20,946 --> 00:21:23,225
IT REFLECTED ADULT THINKING.
504
00:21:23,249 --> 00:21:26,161
OBVIOUSLY KATHY PICKED
THAT UP FROM YOU, TOO.
505
00:21:26,185 --> 00:21:29,632
THAT'S THE SUGGESTIONS THAT THE
MEETING HALL BE MOVED A FEW BLOCKS.
506
00:21:29,656 --> 00:21:31,933
A SMALL PARK COULD
BE BUILT AROUND IT,
507
00:21:31,957 --> 00:21:34,770
AND THEN IT'D BECOME A
MONUMENT TO SPRINGFIELD HISTORY.
508
00:21:34,794 --> 00:21:36,838
AND, AS I MIGHT ADD, IT
TOOK A COUPLE OF HOURS
509
00:21:36,862 --> 00:21:39,029
TO DECIPHER THAT
FROM HER LETTER.
510
00:21:40,500 --> 00:21:44,112
I TOLD YOU, DADDY.
I PUT EVERYTHING IN.
511
00:21:44,136 --> 00:21:47,683
Mayor: THAT WAS YOUR SUGGESTION,
WASN'T IT, MR. ANDERSON?
512
00:21:47,707 --> 00:21:49,485
THAT'S RIGHT.
513
00:21:49,509 --> 00:21:53,021
I'VE ALWAYS FELT THAT
SPRINGFIELD COULD USE A PARK.
514
00:21:53,045 --> 00:21:55,524
I'VE ALREADY TALKED
WITH THE CITY COUNCIL,
515
00:21:55,548 --> 00:21:58,761
AND THEY HAVE AGREED THAT
THE IDEAS ARE NOT ONLY LOGICAL,
516
00:21:58,785 --> 00:22:00,796
BUT EXTREMELY HELPFUL.
517
00:22:00,820 --> 00:22:04,132
OH. WELL...
518
00:22:04,156 --> 00:22:07,202
YOU REALIZE, OF COURSE,
THAT THIS IS A BIG JOB.
519
00:22:07,226 --> 00:22:10,773
FIRST, GETTING THE PEOPLE TO
AGREE TO THE BOND ISSUE TO FINANCE IT.
520
00:22:10,797 --> 00:22:12,073
IT'S WORTH IT, HOWEVER.
521
00:22:12,097 --> 00:22:13,509
THIS ISN'T SOMETHING
THAT CAN BE DONE
522
00:22:13,533 --> 00:22:14,643
IN A FEW MINUTES.
523
00:22:14,667 --> 00:22:17,212
SOMEBODY WILL
HAVE TO BE APPOINTED
524
00:22:17,236 --> 00:22:19,014
AND PUT IN CHARGE OF IT...
525
00:22:19,038 --> 00:22:22,918
AND SOMEBODY THAT'S WILLING
TO WORK HARD, MANY EVENINGS.
526
00:22:22,942 --> 00:22:24,586
WELL, ANYONE
WHO'S A GOOD CITIZEN
527
00:22:24,610 --> 00:22:26,555
SHOULD BE WILLING
TO TAKE ON THE JOB.
528
00:22:26,579 --> 00:22:28,979
WELL, WE'LL SEE.
529
00:22:30,717 --> 00:22:32,761
AS THE REPRESENTATIVES
OF THE, UH,
530
00:22:32,785 --> 00:22:34,330
CITIZENS' COMMITTEE
TO COME IN, PLEASE.
531
00:22:34,354 --> 00:22:35,853
YES, SIR.
532
00:22:37,089 --> 00:22:38,934
AH, MR. LITTLE.
533
00:22:38,958 --> 00:22:40,936
WOULD YOU MIND
EXPLAINING THE PLAN AGAIN?
534
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:42,404
I'D LIKE TO HAVE
MR. ANDERSON HEAR IT.
535
00:22:42,428 --> 00:22:44,172
NOT AT ALL, MAYOR MITCHELL.
536
00:22:44,196 --> 00:22:46,107
AS REPRESENTATIVES
OF THE CITIZENS' GROUP,
537
00:22:46,131 --> 00:22:47,876
WE HAVE DECIDED THAT
WHAT SPRINGFIELD NEEDS
538
00:22:47,900 --> 00:22:50,446
IS SOMEONE WHO WILL ALWAYS
HAVE THE GOOD OF OUR CITY AT HEART,
539
00:22:50,470 --> 00:22:54,049
SOMEONE WHO IS WILLING TO
UNSELFISHLY DEVOTE TIME AND ENERGY,
540
00:22:54,073 --> 00:22:55,884
IN ADDITION TO HIS REGULAR JOB.
541
00:22:55,908 --> 00:22:58,554
SOMEONE WHO WILL GET
THE MESSAGE TO THE PEOPLE.
542
00:22:58,578 --> 00:23:01,423
YOU MEAN A SORT OF
MODERN PAUL REVERE?
543
00:23:01,447 --> 00:23:02,924
THAT'S RIGHT. YEAH.
544
00:23:02,948 --> 00:23:05,861
WELL, JIM, DO YOU
THINK IT'S A GREAT IDEA?
545
00:23:05,885 --> 00:23:08,797
UH... YES.
546
00:23:08,821 --> 00:23:10,466
DO YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTION
547
00:23:10,490 --> 00:23:14,458
AS TO WHO THE LOYAL,
ENERGETIC MAN SHOULD BE?
548
00:23:16,262 --> 00:23:18,574
WELL, I SHOULD IMAGINE
SOMEONE ON THE CITY COUNCIL
549
00:23:18,598 --> 00:23:19,742
WOULD FIT THE JOB.
550
00:23:19,766 --> 00:23:23,412
MR. MATTHEWS,
MR. BROWN, OR... MR. LITTLE?
551
00:23:23,436 --> 00:23:28,350
MR. LITTLE, WHOM DID WE
DECIDE UPON THIS MORNING?
552
00:23:28,374 --> 00:23:31,353
IT IS OUR PRIVILEGE TO
APPOINT MR. JAMES ANDERSON
553
00:23:31,377 --> 00:23:34,222
AS REPRESENTATIVE OF
THE PEOPLE OF SPRINGFIELD.
554
00:23:34,246 --> 00:23:36,725
BUT... CONGRATULATIONS, JIM.
555
00:23:36,749 --> 00:23:39,283
NOW THINGS WILL BE DONE RIGHT.
556
00:23:41,353 --> 00:23:42,853
YES, SIR.
557
00:23:47,493 --> 00:23:49,538
MAYOR MITCHELL. YES.
558
00:23:49,562 --> 00:23:51,807
HERE'S A SPECIAL DELIVERY
LETTER THAT JUST ARRIVED.
559
00:23:51,831 --> 00:23:54,443
IT'S FROM YOUR SON REGARDING
THE OLD MEETING HALL.
560
00:23:54,467 --> 00:23:56,879
HE SAID HE HADN'T BEEN ABLE TO
SEE YOU LONG ENOUGH TO TALK TO YOU,
561
00:23:56,903 --> 00:23:59,180
SO HE DECIDED TO WRITE A LETTER.
562
00:23:59,204 --> 00:24:01,316
COULD YOU TELL MY SON THAT HE
CAN HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH ME
563
00:24:01,340 --> 00:24:03,051
TONIGHT AT 7:00 FOR DINNER?
564
00:24:03,075 --> 00:24:05,509
AND A SHOW. OH, YES, SIR.
565
00:24:07,513 --> 00:24:09,591
WELL, YOUNG LADY?
566
00:24:09,615 --> 00:24:11,860
HAS THIS TAUGHT YOU A LESSON?
567
00:24:11,884 --> 00:24:15,218
YES, SIR. I'D BETTER
LEARN HOW TO SPELL.
568
00:24:17,189 --> 00:24:19,222
(Mayor laughs)
569
00:24:25,898 --> 00:24:28,744
THAT'S RIGHT, ED. THURSDAY
NIGHT, 8:00... BOARD MEETING.
570
00:24:28,768 --> 00:24:31,513
I KNOW IT'S POKER NIGHT,
BUT IT CAN'T BE HELPED.
571
00:24:31,537 --> 00:24:33,315
WE'VE GOT TO GET THE BALL
ROLLING ON THE BOND ISSUE
572
00:24:33,339 --> 00:24:35,350
FOR THIS NEW PARK.
573
00:24:35,374 --> 00:24:36,774
OKAY.
574
00:24:45,718 --> 00:24:47,463
I SURE DIDN'T KNOW IT
WAS SO MUCH TROUBLE
575
00:24:47,487 --> 00:24:49,998
JUST GETTING A NEW PARK.
576
00:24:50,022 --> 00:24:52,568
I HOPE THE MAYOR'S HAPPY. I'VE BEEN
WORKING EVERY NIGHT THIS WEEK ON IT.
577
00:24:52,592 --> 00:24:55,637
UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES, I THINK
THE MAYOR'S BEEN VERY NICE, JIM.
578
00:24:55,661 --> 00:24:57,238
WHY NOT? ELECTIONS
AREN'T FAR OFF.
579
00:24:57,262 --> 00:24:58,841
I THINK HE'S VERY SWEET.
580
00:24:58,865 --> 00:25:01,376
HE TOLD BILLY TO ASK ME
OVER FOR DINNER SOMETIME.
581
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:03,812
WHY NOT? HE KNOWS YOU'LL BE
OF VOTING AGE IN FOUR YEARS.
582
00:25:03,836 --> 00:25:05,547
OH, JIM.
583
00:25:05,571 --> 00:25:07,483
HEY, WHAT'S HAPPENED TO KATHY?
584
00:25:07,507 --> 00:25:10,218
YEAH, WHERE IS LITTLE
POISON-PEN LIZZY?
585
00:25:10,242 --> 00:25:12,320
SHE HAD TO GO DOWN TO
THE CORNER. WHAT FOR?
586
00:25:12,344 --> 00:25:14,322
SHE HAD TO MAIL A LETTER...
587
00:25:14,346 --> 00:25:15,946
TO THE PRESIDENT.
588
00:25:21,787 --> 00:25:23,854
