All language subtitles for The Mating Season (1951)

How's it going Jake?

I'm kind of worried about this weather

What's the matter, it's too nice?

There's bound to be a break.

oh no one in our mind
Lois Romney was Justin

He's still your boyfriend?

uh-huh

well he had one with onions on affected

Okay
Attagirl

Playing like a fish

You got anything else on your mind
besides the weather, Jake?

I'm kind of
worried about my throat .

yesterday you was worried about your shoulder

Still am.

You know you bias
about every muscle in your body

you can come in here once you tell
me you have heard

we'll keep it up kid

When you stop worrying you'll be dead.

Hi, mr. Claggart

Today a nice chicken and noodle .

No, I've had my lunch
it's the first of July mrs. McNally

Already ?
June went by in a hurry, isn't it ?

Also did May and April

The bank can't wait any longer.

no fool, I'll try and make a
payment next month.

We are awful sorry but the bank examiner
everytime he reads off your loan

he says "no reduction on that $800?
Why not?"

Did you tell the bank examiner

that I was never up against such
competition in my whole life?

Drugstore on one side of
me a drugstore on the other side of me

and their soda fountains undercutting
each other

They give you a three-course dinner if
you buy a box of aspirin tablets

Won't you just pay us a little
something $100

To raise $100 I would have to sell
13,000 hamburgers

between now and 6:00 o'clock tonight.

Do you know anybody that's that hungry?

Sorry but without a payment the bank will
have to start action.

I got some news for the Jersey City
National Bank

they just got themselves a hamburger spin.

We don't want that mr. McNulty

don't say that again after you been
running this joint for a month

Then that's settled

so the icebox, the dishes,
the pots pans the whole joint

all are yours.

Jake tomorrow you get your hamburgers

at the Jersey City National Bank.

You just ask for the
president

He's the new c.. from now on

Oh, please mrs McNulty,
you can't give up your business!

I can't ?
Listen!

My son Val has a good job in
Meridian Ohio

don't you worry about me !

great sixteen and seventeen we
could get rid of bacne

No!
At 4:45 a.m. I read it to you twice already .

And each time we made the
report a little bit better!

What difference does that make?

What difference ?

Listen, babe I'm not
related to old man Kalinger

I don't play golf with him at the Country Club

he doesn't know me from Adam

With this report I may make him go
ahead with the Whittington project.

If he does I might go ahead with it.

So let's have on his
desk by 9:00 in the morning

Come on, hurry up!
Do us a lot of good !

"Us"? I suppose you'll say this is fine title
who did the comment

I thought you wanted to help!

I thought we were pals

We must be.

The girls in the office have started a pool.

Yeah?

Well then what'll be about
a little extra overtime?

A little?

Now you slain me.
Can't you stop pushing yourself for a minute?

Look:

Correct business usage contacts
and personality and commerce

what the young executive...

I'm a very earnest young man

okay

The Williamson report

That's the girl!

page 16

Therefore I mapped out the following
plan of procedures series of anything...

Switch words closed

That's jr. Kalinger by the phone
Let it ring

...a series of anything else

however was the Italian don't have all
the dismissing economic problem...

Hello?
Mr Kalinger Junior?

At this hour in the morning?

He's not here.

Who says I'm not?

Hold it!

Wake up with the birds ready to go

It's for you, sounds like a small boy

given Moscato somewhere on the ball

Hello he's a busy now.

Can I take a message?

yeah
up on summit ridge?

yeah? oh sure.
I'll tell him.

This kid says your car is stuck
up on top of summit ridge

and there's a girl in it
Yes there's a girl.

and she didn't trust my driving.

It's Maggie Carleton,
a great miss Carleton

impecunious with social, very social ...

Mr.Kalinger, I think ...

daughter of the United States ambassador

I asked her to marry me and she turned me down

... and she turned me down

She's under the impression that I drink

We better do something about your car

Go on do something you got paid every Thursday.

yes sir

But you want me to
drop you home on the way...

I'm staying here

My father has become opressive.

He's not gonna split mind
I've got ideals too -

That's me, a proud boy

Mr.Kalinger!

oh no!
Where's the car?

Right there!

Sweet Cesar!
It keeps on slipping!

I saw it on my way to the milk barn

They give me the number to call

Why in heaven's name
you're standing there?

Get out of the car!

If I stir it starts to move.

oh don't stir, don't breathe!

That's what I've been trying to
not do for an hour

let's try to use our syllabus

Put your arms on my neck

if it starts to move show off

you feel like passing out it
is no trouble at all

I don't... I did but I don't know

who are you?

Val McNulty
the young master sent me

oh I never saw anything
is beautiful in my life

as the sight of you coming over that cliff.

How this has happened?

I'm visiting some friends who
live on one of these hills

after I dropped junior I got myself lost

and tried to
turn around

You hadn't plenty of room
oh I'm not a very good driver

I tried for license once
but the man said

I'd have to learn more
about keys

I just feel it hair off a lilac bush ??

You can put me down now

oh, yes I was afraid so.

oh !

Look I guess

I hope that car was insured.

Why did you turn him down?

Loud drunk bores me.

I'm sorry if he's a friend of yours.

Oh that was no friend, it was my boss.

Funny!

At 4:45 this morning someone accused me
of being too anxious to please my boss

and now to be exact it's 5:23

seems that life began somewhere in between.

This is Venice Italy calling
miss Maggie Carleton

Si, miss Carlton ?

Un momento !

Senora Carlton!

Which one?
This one

Maggie?

Oh Maggie ... touch of the sun!??

you just can't suddenly marry

somebody named McNulty
you met on the cliff!

You can't!

3 o'clock tomorrow darling!

if your father were alive he'd
turn over in his grave!

No, wait till I get there and
we can discuss it!

you say he works at the Kalinger factory?

What is he doing?

well he he's in the production department

In other words he's a clerk.

He doesn't think you're rich
I hope, can you hear me?

just because you're visiting rich
friends of mine?

we hate it about rich

then he is an imbecile!

oh darling, you're utterly unequipped
for any such marriage!

Did he know you were
brought up in an embassy with 20 service?

hi honey!

Hi, Val! it's mother

Mother,I put him on
If you'll do, I'll hang up!

see you let me talk to that dog now

No, mother, please
Later darling

She wants to speak to you now
oh dear oh

hello Fran! what time is in Venice, now?

Now don't scream at me ...

well we don't know anything
about him really except

that he's a very nice boy and
he signed one of those loyalty things

what is your background there?

I suppose we should have made
enquiries about your family

well I just got my mother
she lives in Jersey City

She runs a business my father started

Yes, Fran and we're all...

Here!

Thank you .Now, Fran ...

We should send an announcement
to the Trumans

I don't think Maggie's father
knew the president very well

against and wonder mrs.

You can't send one to mrs Roosevelt
and slight the Trumans

Now, Fran, I'm her godmother not her keeper!

Your mother's right you know.

Out of a blue sky marry a crumb like me.

She's a fine one to talk

but when she met father in Shanghai he just stuck out

his hand and say hello never got her back.

I still think you ought to be getting
one of those guys with a pedigree

and a
platinum polo mallet

oh Val!

When you've been brought up
in half a dozen embassies

the little princes
little Dukes and little diplomats

bowing from the waist and kissing your hand

what do you think you dream of that?

what?
you dream of meeting a man

Who, me?

I really must have might talk
with the young people

I want to ask them which
service they prefer the long or the short one

yes I think I'd better put you
down for the short one

yes?

How about the phrase "
love honor and obey "?

unfortunately a lot of people

prefer to drop the word obey

oh don't drop it

we're going to obey each other like crazy

and is there going to be one ring or two?

Well someone draw a chalk line

I'd like to walk it

Stone sober, Maggie

I've brought your present

Thank You Junior but I don't
think I deserve it

Under happier circumstances I
should have gone shopping on the Ganges for rubies

but this thing is more tasteful

A book, a little old book.

"How to drive an automobile"

Why didn't I give it to you before?

You're very sweet, Junior.
I'll treasure it

Since everybody in town knows
how I felt about Maggie

I hope you won't mind my admitting

Even a great sports, mr.Kallinger.

Well thanks

I brought this wire from the office

Always at your service, no tip necessary.

Thank you.

Well, happy nuptials to all ,to all good night!

No wonder I couldn't reach my mother

she's on her way here.

She is ?

Oh how wonderful
You never dream she'd come !

no...

Now let me see at a formal wedding

The mother of the groom sits in the front row
that's right

oh let's put the bishop on one side of her

he's such a dignified old man

And on the other, mrs. Fahnstock

Oh, what a disaster!

Bobby! You and Jimmy stood at each other

some of the old family silver?

How did you get into that kitchen?
I trickled in

It was a mixed up and there I was.

But it wasn't her fault.

You were struck down,

She would have died of embarrassment

Besides, she payed me right.I am a cook.

Don't be silly!

fool people about your feathers

start laying eggs all over the place

they know you're a chicken

You naughty boy!

Mama is ashamed of you for
forgetting your manners that way!

what would you, a lady doggies
with little Charlene...

Why did you get back in town?
hmm?

oh well I didn't exactly come back

You're never left is that it?

I suppose that hamburger
stand just runs itself

it's closed down.

When the note come do I give the National bank
40 pounds of hamburger

and I blew town

I bet you were flat broke when you
shoved back that allows money

I got three good jobs just like that
Like that, yeah

Employers are just nuts about
hiring women your age

I ain't so old!

Living in its fleabag
Don't be big shot you've lived in worse places

Well you're moving out
there's room in our place

with you two?

properly

Nothing doing
This is your mating season

you're entitled to be alone

Oh horsefeathers !

Look, I started out living with my mother-in-law
and you know how it ended.

I hit her once, with a banana!

That won't be long
it's what if some survey

comes through I'll get a whale of a raise

so then let me get lost

And have you on my mind every minute ?

Look, I don't want to bore you details ,
but I kind of like you, you know?

you know what you ought to have
on your mind, your marriage!

there's a couple of people that would
like to see it end in the garbage pail

and they were drinking your liquor tonight.

Junior Kalinger?

Oh he's okay.

Oh go on,
I'd stepped on better things than him.

Look I'm too tired to argue tonight,
let's sleep on it.

you come around tomorrow

And be told you've left town?

urgent business, so sorry?
no I won't...

I trust you
Val you should avoid your top coat

When will you get over the
idea that I'm six years old?

Never

six is plenty for a boy to be

I'll call you around ten

Hi !
Hi !

It took you a long time

yeah something came up

Where everybody go?

you read you took them all to the blue land

the new band we're
supposed to join them later

Are you kidding?
That's the way I feel about

No place like home, darling

hello

Maggie ...

Maggie there's something I've
got to talk to you about

Shoot!
Well..

it's my kind of throw you
but facts are facts

I know you're gonna understand

you see ..

Maggie do you have to do that?

20 years from now you'd be glad I did it

You gotta do it in a diverse do something

Go ahead and talk

well about that woman, the woman
who did the cooking tonight

Oh Ellen?
yeah

I got the impression you like her quite a bit

Maggie I'm trying to talk

It's only one way to shut you up

This is what I like about marriage:

companionship

Everybody is seeking it.

I love you so much it's against the law

every time I look at you I'm glad

That's two votes

What about?...
It can wait till morning.

hi
Good morning.

Where's the key ?
Oh mr. McNally said he'd leave the key

He didn't agree with me

you got a passkey, I'm sure.

Take me up, I'm the new cook .

okay

I'm afraid there's some mistake I didn't
expect you today

He didn't say anything about me?

No worry
oh yes he did

he started to...
I really don't remember

When he come after me last night
we got to talkin

and it turned out I need a job

but don't think I forced myself on him

I said it had to be up to you
Oh wonderful

honey I don't think we can afford a cook

oh well we iron that out between us

it's just a question I 'll be underfoot

I'd rather have you than an emerald ring
that big

don't come around tomorrow and ask
me for any references

Just as long as you
don't expect any references about me

Sunday !
Now on Sunday morning I like

kippers, a three-minute egg

a long tea with cream.
Yes, ma'm

And for mr McNulty?
Coffee of course

yes but you'll never guess what he had
with coffee on Sunday

No, what?
A hamburger

I wonder where he picked up that habit?

you going stop baiting out
that mess in the living room

oh sure

Maggie I'm sure didn't make any mistake
when I married you

why didn't someone tell me?

of course I'm not gonna go to Robinson's
market and have things delivered

it's insane

From now on your ride to the farm exchange

everything there is cheaper and thank you

and for the party of today

we can save a fortune if I'd known
then what I know now

Any judge would give you a divorce
if he can see the market bill

Look here

and it's all your fault you didn't
tell the girl

how much she can afford to spend

The first thing you do tomorrow is buy
an account book for five cents

Now look here

You gotta balance your budget even if they
don't have been Washington DC

Ellen, stop scolding him and get this.

yes ma'm

You stay right here
what is all this about?

Account books ,yes sir, yes ma'am

Washington DC the farmers exchange

Can I say a word or can't I ?

why are you so excited?

Ellen makes perfect sense

In last week's post
three out of five marriages go to pieces

not because of infidelity or fighting...

...but on account of the dough

people get fancy ideas about living

hello yeah this is McNulty

wait a minute
the operator

the mrs. McNulty

yes, this is mrs. McNulty

long distance

have you gone stark staring muddy ?

not mom Ellen

Don't you see that this is the answer !

we're gonna lock you up
the mainspring is gone!

of your lips now

I didn't get a wink of sleep until
four o'clock this morning

and then suddenly I got the idea

kids behind the 8-ball she needs me

and I'm gonna say whether you like it or not

of course you're gonna stay but you're
gonna stay as my mother!

look long weather too unhappy
James live in this

joint or two happy Dame's depends
on just one thing

whether she calls me
mother or whether she calls me Ellen

She's gonna find out sometime!

Don't have to find it out when I'm under a seat.
Meanwhile we've got fun

they don't know what it was like
working with her

yesterday I felt like I was 21 again
Oh Milwaukee

look wise guy I didn't feel like
I was 21 when I was 21

I'm getting
a big kick out of this

do you want to open your big
mouth and spoil it something

yeah
OK!

you do when I go out this door
I need this time

I grab whatever work I can get
and it won't be a sausage job as this either

Val!

How much do you love me?

How much do you love me?

I'm always going to be

I hope there will be a lot for both of us

that was mother in Cleveland Airport
keep coming to stay with us

all right I'll be... wonderful

You don't know mother
this could be the end of our marriage

might be right

could have two mother-in-law's in the house

oh ,wait a minute

man it reallyblow your marriage

blowing higher than Kelsey's high ground

okay mr. McNulty

oh my darling!

You look fine except around the eyes

or you're still wearing that tragic little hat
I know I bought it but it was a mistake

mother this is Val
hello

Natalie I could call you but

New York was miserable
everybody looks at television

This comedian who loses his pants..

Oh, colonel..
How was the trip?

Terrible, I sat next to some chatterbox
she talked all the time

Look at the pilot, would he remind you of?

he's a dead ringer for Teddy Aykroyd

you remember Teddy in the Downton Legation?

oh yes there's something about his chin

Not his chin

Teddy didn't even have a chance
to settle down his ears!

Mother!
This is Val

I said hello, what am I supposed
to say that I'm glad to meet him

I don't want to be struck dead in my tracks.

My car is out here
mathlete you got a spare tire

I know it
you want to ride a bike

Mother, isn't it darling?

Of course you never got
any space in the apartment ,do you?

didn't I tell you about Freddy Palfrey

he's taken over the whole of
the Giorgione palace

the great Salon
you could play polo in it

wedding presents
How soon can you break that!

what, that good length?

mother this is our Ellen

your last clean and filled with $9 and a half

I'll press

where's my room? right here mother

there's a nice big closet
and you don't get the morning sun

where's my bathroom ?

I'm afraid you'll have
to share ours, darling .

oh but don't worry ,
there won't be any collisions

we'll work out a schedule

when I'm on my way to the bathroom
I'm in no mood for protocol

well there's a shower and stuff in my room

why don't you sleep there and
I'll sleep here?

No, thank you.

Maggie dear please ask her to say
mrs. Carlton when she is referring to me.

This is the bedroom
Mrs. Carlton won't be with

...

Well at least that room is cool

Maggie you and I have a million
things to catch up on

Why don't we share it?

mother

Val..

he's better equipped to negotiate
that lower berth than I am

but he needs this sleep
Men can sleep anywhere

it's alright mam.. Ellen
okay

that face reminds me of someone I've seen

there's something about the mouth
Oh every face does mother know

No, is someone I've seen recently

I'll get the other stuff out of the car

thank you

Does he play bridge?
yes mother he does

he also talkes
he also has feelings

He's a wonderful human being and I love him
more than anything in the world

I checked the figures they're
ready for retail

Yeah Betsy, go away

Betsy was called out in front an hour ago

you must have been napping ever since
oh yeah

I don't get too much sleep at home lately

we have a houseguest

why take that on?

it fills every corner of that
flat like poison gas

listen I have to take my wife
to the movies to kiss her

knowing you that must
be kind of rough on the lodge's

let's get on with this stuff

Take yourself another girl
i'm assigned to another duty

I'll cut it out without him

For your information I'm showing
a lady around the plant

mrs. Owen Williamson.
Mrs Williamson!

The Williamson are in Maryland

the Middle West Savannah on the map

She's in there now powdering her nose.

This is the production department

I thought you might get some idea

minutes grace

Mrs Williamston, please!

listed on your shakedown cruise

I like a chance to talk to mr. Whittington

I'm handling this McNulty

there are some questions ..

I expect complete answers tomorrow
work all night

Hello?
hi

again when we tied up at the
office I won't be home for dinner

you're lucky.
I'm doing the cooking

Ellen's out .

Mr. Kalinger called he's had any luncheon
tomorrow for some out-of-town people

and so I loaned him Ellen

You did what ?
Well just a few hours

That chocolate cake of hers

you shouldn't have done that Maggie

what do you think we are the
"Help Wanted" column ?

Well I'm not pleased, they don't
call me in on a conference

but when they need somebody
there making some child they don't hesitate.

it should have had more sense

well wait a second, let me say something

you can't lend my...

I mean you can't let Ellen around like an old ...

What's the problem?
nothing

That was that was just a chicken man

the heck tired
Yes they usually hang up on their customers

oh, darling don't cut me out of your life

that was your husband yelling at you.

Something happened here
and he takes it out in this one

oh how common and under bread can you get

Don't you ever get tired of
starting that one note, mother ?

So loyal so pitifully loyal

won't even admit that you're
married beneath

I did not !

Then who is he, what is he,
have you ever met his family?

No mother, I haven't
and it's more than he can say of mine!

I said I'm not to be disturbed

well those cakes are in the oven

now it's time to tackle your throat

oh I want some old-fashioned girl

yeah but we're not taking any chance.

Open up that top button

I know how to take care of me.

feed a cold starve a fever.

there's a Sam always used to say
Sam was my husband

oh, nice fella ?
Every stray dog in town loved him.

They say that's the test.

The colder the better .
You loved Sam?

You bet .

Even though he used to hit that
bottle and make it home many nights

he just sided seen more of the side benefit

so you left him
And buried him

He up and died one day
Too bad.

Sam didn't mind too much

You know what his big beef was at the end?

He worried about the funeral

our Davenport's without getting fixed

He was afraid the house would look bare
when the people came.

oh I guess he wasn't much of a bargain

I loved him.

In a long time I still
think about him quite a bit

You never married again?

Don't think this is the sickroom visit

just when the bar you broke should
we playing some golf.

Dear there .mrs. Williamson isn't very
impressed with our club membership

so she's letting him play

my wife was born with rigor mortis

I'm giving him a stroke a hole

Pretty corcky aren't you?

That was a peach of a survey he made!

thank you, thank you

have you come to term sir
luncheon tomorrow

I've invited the Black,

the Hatfields, the Stones, everybody can say

Mrs Williamson may find the rather crude

She will.
these will do.

I'll have them shine, make it snappy
go get lost

how was that ?

You heard her
Aren't you...

...McNulty's cook

And she's here to do us a favor

Are we playing golf or aren't we ?
Come on!

well if you want to play with dusty shoes

I could have done it I suppose

Oh don't mind my son.

When he was nine years old
I got a letter from his teacher

he was the only kid the third grade

who didn't like Abraham Lincoln

we got to change this .

Gotta get you in shape
for that luncheon tomorrow.

Say, if my folks eat here
I can have a day off

oh good get a day off
If they eat here I will

give me time for a little bowling

you bowl? sixty
Not bad!

What do you mean evade here
they invited

well if it's about that survey they ought to be

mr. McNulty dreamed it up himself
right from the scratch.

nobody told me

Well I'm telling you now!

They are saving me
they're awfully Pleasant

when I'm sweltering with the heat

you have your luncheon

I'm not interested in the nursery is all seven

probably bad Bridget on bail

oh, no my child I didn't see that throw

Shall I play it again?
No, course not.

I got you this time.

oh that's not a woman it's a horse

in our organization we don't allow
our directors to have wives like that.

you put them out of the way painlessly I hope

we handpick our young executives

and make quite certain that
their families are presentable

Oh, incidentally my husband suggested that I
look you over

Val will be very impressed.

If only Mr Kalinger is too..

Mr Kalinger?My dear child!

if only you have the good
chance to come with us

Anything I can get you mrs. Williamson?

I only want cool
breeze blowing off the Atlantic!

A landslide for McNulty

I handled it rather meekly

yesterday I sold him the survey,

today I tried out your husband
on a silver platter

That's why you left
suddenly after the party -

Mrs McNulty, you get enough of this game?
Oh, I'm sorry.

Can't pay.
off start

Let me shake for you mrs. McNulty

extra rattle is the pieces of my heart

oh I'm in business again

Never leave my side

Junior we need you

okay

the Wonder Boy will be working nights

you have my phone number

I work nights too

I'm a white City\\\

what a dreadful young man.
Junior's a friend of mine, mrs. Williamson

and he just unveil a great service

So I gathered.

Are you being very wise my dear?

what do you mean?

whistle

Even to help your husband should your father's
daughter involve herself with a load like that?

he might give you real trouble

you don't understand the
circumstances, mrs. Williamson

junior is genuinely fond of me

what more, I'm fond of him

oh so those intentions were welcomed

those Pauline who weren't me

How broad-minded can you get!

Shall we finish the game?
yes I think we'd better

6 to 5 I can't play
6 to 1

I get both you
Again you've whisked away the dice

it was a six and a one

oddly enough I don't cheat again

Then play correctly .

Throw again.
I will not!

What?
You're the rudest woman I've ever seen

I beg your pardon?
Since we've been at this table

you sneared at the town I live in

criticized our hosts implied that
I'm carrying on a shabby love affair

and accuse me of cheating.

Totally ridiculous

I nearly corrected your gaming manners

I won't infect them by you any longer

I think I've got the answer to
your objections

Just roll them maybe one by one

Can you deliver

I'm terribly sorry but may have the keys of the car?

Don't you feel well ?
Perfectly, but I just wanna go home

Dreadful woman!

Maggie,what have you done?

Better ask what she has done?

Give me those keys!
I'll take you Maggie

needs a bridge game and let the basketball

That goes for all of us

What were you saying, McNulty ?

it's made up from a secret formula for

someone slowing for disabled isn't

But it hurts!
oh it's agony

but I think that gives you so much more
confidence in the face, don't you?

I get myself a piece

well who stole the meat out of her sandwich

it's kind of a hectic moment for me
to introduce myself

You are junior Kallinger, aren't you?
Ellen wait !

whould you have something to drink?

First you better tell us
what's up

Ellen for the thousandth time I told you

people are not called he and she

Are you good at faces ?
Who does she remind you of?

I'm being driven absolutely mad

sounds like I am a "she" to you

Will you sit up for a minute Maggie?

Yes?
they're all still at the Kallinger house.

I'm gonna call up and ask for mrs.Williamson.

she promised she'd come to the phone.

you can make any excuse to come
to your mind

the heat the food

you aren't used to wine at that
time of the day

anything, so long as you say you're sorry!

Now she should be calling me !

Very likely but do it just the same.

You can't ask me!
I'm not asking you

I'm telling you

hello .Will you put mrs.Williams, please
This is McNulty calling

Mrs Mc Nulty wants to talk to her

yes, mr McNulty?

My husband tells me you'll be kind
enough to accept my apologies mrs.Williamson

That's very sweet of you

I'm so sorry I was rude
oh one more thing

you were quite right about jr. challenger

I do enjoy being pawed behind

but I suppose my father wouldn't
have liked it, would he?

Thanks for the hint

Are you out of your mind, Maggie?

You told me to apologize about everything
but she never said it

How do you know what she said ,

you didn't bother to inquire
you just took it for granted I was wrong

whatever I did you shouldn't have said that

you ask for, you got
Maggie..

Shouldn't you be getting
back to your meeting ?

yes I should

It was a stinking trick, Maggie

shut up

Maggie stop looking at that door

I told him you won't seen tonight
you're going to stick to it

oh just have
a little dignity for once

I wonder what happened at that meeting

it's no concern of yours

now you just swallow one of these pills

and your sleep for eight solid hours

You know who gave him to me?

I wouldn't want it known
Mister Edie

he was a terrible man
but he ain't well and he slept well

I think I ought to see him

you will not !

he humiliated you as I've never known a
woman to be humiliated

he made you eat crow
what will he do next?

Probably strike you of betray you
for some women

112!

I've never weighed more than 105 in my life

When I married your father

I was 99 and one ounce

I remember somebody's a wedding
reception saying

"she's so tiny you have to shake
the sheets to find her"

the food in this house

you don't like it your office
polite about second helpings

That's the trouble

the constant temptation

the Spirit is willing but the
flesh is increasing

that Ellen
I have new places where they were

the flock they're serving for
such a treatment

She can cook
that I have to admit

how much you pay her?
oh I don't know mother

I don't care .
Val is handleling that

you don't know

what you don't know about
that man would fill a book

Speaking of book

Simon has used to want me to write a book.
my memoirs

One thing I can tell you

mr.Val McNulty will be covered by
your footnote

Maggie you won't even listening

didn't I tell you those were wonderful
field

you're telling me!

It's all my fault you know

You're both right and you're both wrong
oh you know

How do you know that?

so it's that way with the first big round

coffee cup and listen to what I'm going to say

Now I wonder how much you know

about the aberrations that
sometimes overtake the male sex

Fantastic things

Men will appear perfectly respectable

I went to a Brigadier General who couldn't be
left alone with the French telephone

why not?

Wait... I wouldn't dare tell!

Maggie control yourself!

don't you understand that
I'm trying to break to you

some terrible news about Val?

You indicated something
he can't be left alone with it?

No not, something .Somebody. Ellen.

Oh mother you're ...!

Come with me

Here is where they were standing.

he came out of her room .

he was wearing his pajamas

She was wearing her nightgown

And there is where I was with a chicken leg

Maggie, they were kissing.

I never finished that chicken leg.

Maggie where are you going ?
I'm calling a convent

They'll just have to take you
off my hands

when you start making up stories like

that wife I mean have you under
the same roof with Val

But it's true!

what's more they are meeting tonight...

Here you talk to never yourself tell them you're
coming

I will not !

If you want my old

I am mrs. McNally but I'm very busy right now

We're looking for the other mrs. McNulty

some new dope on that hamburger stand

well there are lots of McNulty's in town

you've got the wrong address

But we brought Ellen here

well there is another in the house
but she's not in right now

that their name is McNulty?

what else could it be?
She is your mother-in-law isn't she?

I knew I knew that face!

Come in.
Come right in.

Wait here please

mr. Val McNulty please.
Production department to the right

It's important

listen you're shaking you're pale
come into my office

send McNulty

Mr Mcnulty? Mr. Kalinger junior
wants to see you

I gather you don't
want me to ask any questions

but don't you like a brandy or something

No thanks, but I could do with
a cigarette

Come in.

Hi!

is anything wrong?
Just a trifle

a little "matter" Ellen McNulty

well I

I guess I better explain

I hope you can

Then maybe I won't find it too

unpleasant being in the same room with you

Aren't you taking this kind too big?

Big, little who decides

You were ashamed of somebody I'd love
and respect under any circumstances

you hid her from me

You didn't trust me!

that isn't being married val,

living with someone it isn't
being married

Look, I knew it was a mistake
but well she cooked it up

and the way things happened
there was nothing I could do

oh don't give me that

but just part of your drive to get ahead

You wanted to be upper case for the
Kalinger and the Williamson

You're snob!

the big joke is I've spent
half my life dodging snobs

and I wind up drawing you!

Maggie!

You know I'm not one of them!
No I don't

I don't know you at all !

I married a stranger!

Everybody marry a stranger !

Oh just won't get us anywhere

Maybe you better talk to my mother

oh no thanks I might be offended
by her grammar

or I might despise her for not
going to college like you

I oughtta slug you for that

can you better hurry I'll be
out of town tomorrow

Where are you going?
Mexico

to establish my residence

All right, go!
I warned you you shouldn't marry a guy like me!

this whole thing it's just too low down for you!

find yourself somebody like junior

he's just about your speed

Goodbye, Val.

Thanks for paying the rent

I sent away your taxi, I'm taking you home

I'm not going home

Mother and I have moved to the hotel

"The meridian cloud"

Maggie if you don't want
me to bust, tell me what's up ?

Some other woman?
In a way .

And I'm not going to talk about!

Ellen!
Well what are you doing here?

need to retooling
from the ground up

I can't talk you know,
I gotta find my boy

You've got a boy that works here?

What's his name?

Val McNulty
I got him in big trouble

I don't get it ,you were there his cook

That's the trouble

where can I find him?

You'll be coming right through
this door , here ..

Don't you talk about him like that!

Ellen, here's a place you're gonna
step in to watch for him, be my guest

How could he make you do a thing like that?

Made me?

Nothing could have stopped me

I know what him and Maggie was up against

and I wanted to help him out .

All right so it was a dumb idea
but I know I do dumb things

like one Christmas when he was a little boy

we didn't have any money

and I didn't want him to feel
bad in front of the other kids

so I bought him a cowboy suit .

Only a couple of days later I had
to take it back to the store

there wasn't a peep out of town

He just told the other kids he decided
he was going to be a fireman

he knew all along we had to take it back

So he was an alright kid
he's always been all right

He only got mad at me once in his life

That was when he caught me tight in a check

Doing what to a check ?

You know at the end of the month

when you haven't got
any money to pay a bill

Well, he was
writing out a check.

Only it was for the wrong bank.

So two or three days later they
call you up but by

that time we've got the money

so you say to them
what kind of silly mistake for me to make

Ellen, that's against the
law!

yeah I know.

The man at the gas company
said if I ever got to Wall Street

that have black friday every week

There he is now!

you can go along now Henry.
yes sir

I'll putting them all your
heavy things on top

and don't tell me I can fall because
the tropical town

because it's in tropical towns
you freeze to death

now remember I'll expect
a letter every weekend

there is an express roll

they'll find me wherever I am

Maggie! Don't you want to see ...

I just want to get out of this town

Why do young people think they
can cure anything by getting on a train?

You never know who you'll meet traveling

Oh at last!
I'll ...

Oh mr. Kalinger!

I know you're incommunicado Maggie

but don't try to give me the brush-off

Mr. Kalinger

this is my mother and you know Mrs Conger

hi

I don't think anybody sent me here or
that I'm anybody's messenger.

You are a girl I like and I want
to buy you a farewell drink.

so mr. Kalinger, I have to take
my train in an hour

I said we'd have one drink.
Come on.

I haven't even finished packing.

Don't worry about the packing my dear

One wrinkle take five minutes, come on.

That man!
he is rather broth!

He is divine! He's just my type!

How about in there?

That ought to offer a nice corner
for holding hands .

any place the long as you don't elect to it

do I look like a man looking like you?

Well, I'm not .
I just got over a sore throat.

This is a private party!
Yes, mine

I thought you said you were nobody's
messenger

And I'm not .
I dug this up myself

I don't like it, mr Kalinger.

I'm too old for public bickering.

if you wanna quarrel,
quarrel with your own husband

Hello, Maggie.

in case you want to confer in private

there is the bridal suite

your boss seems to be setting up
on back numbers to romance

I thought you're gone
In less than 20.

We're leaving too.
yes

You said "we" you're not taking Ellen?
why not oh

You have your career !

Back there it's just like one
big happy family

she'd never seen it

Let me worry about my career

You can't do that to Ellen.

remember that woman?
Mr Williamson this is mr. James Canali

How do you do?

agreement about it

she's the tracing thought I was

Ellen would be miserable
Any further advice?

No, you can always have her
in the kitchen

what

the Kalinger party
The Kalinger party?

I've always said wine was really civilized oh

Mrs Williamson?

yes?

I brought somebody I
know you'd like to meet

of course

back in Maryland you two
were bound to see a lot of each other

yes we're very ...back there

yeah that's why I thought my mother
should have a look at you

Emily?

Mom?

this is mrs. Williamson.
I'm pleased to meet you

yes!
So this is your mother?

Mom's got a good nose for people.

you get one standing here and
you're out behind a hamburger stand

what people?

what hamburgers there?

oh he's talking about
the time the fella come up to my wagon

lugging a heavy suitcase.

his face give me the creeps .

I wouldn't even sell him a weenie .

You know what he had in his suitcase?

I don't have the vaguest idea.

His wife!

he sent it to Baltimore the next day

What a horrible story!
Oh, mom's got a million up

Really, mr. McNulty what's the
point of all this?

well I'll tell you.

Here we are, a package.

Not a very fancy package

but you'll take us as it is or not at all .

You take us?
There's no remote possibility!

thank you and good night this is all

Oh Maggie

This time it ain't my fault

I know I shouldn't be here .

No lipstick, this terrible hat

It's a lovely hat, Ellen.

A wonderful hat.

A brilliant hat.

Val, it's your car outside.

It's a gear//

Will you take me home?

You can't go home now
the joint full of our players

well wait a minute mom

You won't have to disturb your friends

Not for days and days

Maggie wait, where are you going?

wait a minute Fran!
You leave them alone!

they're going to set up shop all over again

This time without you, without me

I'm going over there now and tight
and then I'm going to school

and you're going to school too

well you can scoot if you want to

but I'm sticking by my child

not out yet because if you do

I'll move right back in there with you

only this time on a brand new base

we'll split up on the cooking
and you can do all the laundry

I'm kind of I think I need a
couple of phases

Think it over.

You'll need a drink

How would you like to
have a mother like that?

I'd cut my throat

you would ?

Well, that makes it easier.

Ellen, spin in!

I'm all wet!
get in I want to talk with you

some other time when I'm not
dripping all over the place

Ellen McNulty, get in this time.

You know something?
What?Stray dogs like me too.

I can see how they were

Go on.
