- 1:06 You were meant for me.
- 1:13 Don't play that, Uncle Jack.
- 1:18 I'm leaving. Julie!
- 1:22 Will you go down to the station and get me a ticket on the 11 o'clock?
- 1:26 and cash that check for me.
- 1:28 Smith will do it for you.
- 1:30 then I'd like you to drive me to the train.
- 1:32 Julie, you'd better think this over. I have been thinking it over, Uncle Jack.
- 1:36 thinking about it for days.
- 1:38 You and Roger have been married a long time.
- 1:41 But we don't need each other anymore.
- 1:43 Well, that happens to two people.
- 1:46 There's nothing left.
- 1:55 - Come on.
- 2:16 Yeah.
- 2:23 I'm
- 2:49 You were meant for me. I was meant for you. For you.
- 3:03 For you, for you.
- 3:10 You were men for me. I was men for you. For you. For you. For you.
- 3:35 You're like a plaintive melody that never lets me free, for I'm content.
1190 more segments
- 3:55 The angels must have sent you and they met you just for me. What can I do for you?
- 4:08 Oh, the record department. They're right here.
- 4:19 How about that one up there, that book?
- 4:21 Beethoven? Yes, the first one, sir. It's number seven.
- 4:28 - Keep it down. - Ha.
- 4:35 Needles? No, no, no.
- 4:38 Who plays the sheet music here? I do. Oh, you do that? Would you mind playing that for me?
- 4:46 Certainly, I'll be glad to.
- 4:57 The angels must have sent you and they mend you just for me. New tune, isn't it?
- 5:11 I beg your pardon.
- 5:15 It's a new tune.
- 5:16 I didn't hear you. Yes, it just came in.
- 5:23 It would be nice to dance to.
- 5:25 It is.
- 5:28 What's on the other side? It's another new one.
- 5:33 Do you mind playing it for me? No. This way.
- 5:48 For I'm content...
- 5:52 The angels must have sent you, and they meant you just for me.
- 6:17 - Good night. - Good night.
- 6:21 Fire flower, mister.
- 6:32 I'm going this way, honest. I'm going this way too, honest.
- 6:46 Yeah.
- 6:52 What's the matter? Nothing.
- 6:54 I live here, that's all.
- 6:55 Oh.
- 6:56 Huh?
- 6:58 - Night. - Good night.
- 7:01 Oh, uh...
- 7:07 Do you mind if I ask you a personal question?
- 7:10 Here you go.
- 7:13 Have you got a Victrola inside?
- 7:16 Why, yes, of course.
- 7:18 Would you let me hear this one?
- 7:20 Otherwise, I'll have to take it home and imagine how it sounds. Don't you have a machine at home? No.
- 7:28 Why on earth did you buy a 27th?
- 7:48 In my dreams it seems
- 7:53 Your face is near to me, and it's dear to me. Now it's just...
- 8:04 A memory.
- 9:00 What are you thinking about? That's our song they're playing.
- 9:06 At least that's what you said, morbid answer. Yeah.
- 9:11 What are you thinking about? Just wishing. Wishing I could be with you every day like this.
- 9:19 I mean, I wish every day could be a holiday like this.
- 9:23 I mean, I have to go back home, never have to go back to work.
- 9:27 Perfect, wouldn't I?
- 9:42 What's it say? Oh, nothing. It's silly. Oh, no, really silly.
- 9:52 Oh, those things are all the bugs that never come true.
- 10:09 Oh, beat it.
- 10:14 You don't like kids very much, do you? Oh, I like them all right, except when they're pets.
- 10:23 What'd you say? Hmm? Come on. Oh, darling. Come on, tell me.
- 10:31 Come on.
- 10:42 Unromantic.
- 10:46 Move!
- 10:47 Uh...
- 10:49 I thought you said we were going to have a place to ourselves. Oh, just the ocean, the beach I couldn't get.
- 10:54 Hey, you're doing all right.
- 10:56 Two or three more lessons, you'll be able to swim.
- 10:58 You can almost float now.
- 11:00 When your arms are holding me up...
- 11:02 When you're with me, you're safe.
- 11:13 I don't know whether it's safe or not.
- 11:17 I'm down if I do either I
- 11:23 Must be getting late.
- 11:25 - Let's get dressed. - Well, now, there's plenty of time.
- 11:27 I'm thinking about that last train home.
- 11:31 Come on, Roger. Get dressed.
- 11:34 All right.
- 11:46 Where's that big shed reporter here? Putting the paper to bed? Oh, there's no sentiment in newspaper business. New Year's Eve is just like any other night.
- 12:13 Joe Carter here yet? Yes.
- 12:16 Joe Hi, Joe Hello, Elmer Just off the boat Julie, is he phoning yet? He's a phoning, besides it's none of your business Well, you don't have to bite my head off Oh, I'm sorry
- 12:35 All right. You'd think the big lummox had phone or something. Well, he said he might have to go out on the store, eh?
- 12:42 Yeah.
- 12:42 Julie.
- 12:45 Has he ever said anything?
- 12:47 You know what I mean, but... she said anything.
- 12:51 Hmm?
- 12:53 No, not right out.
- 12:54 That's what I thought.
- 12:55 Men never say anything right out. You gotta drag it out of them.
- 12:59 The things a man will do to keep from getting engaged.
- 13:07 Applejack! Come on in. Let me think your things.
- 13:13 He put them someplace we can grab them faster. I don't belong here. Well, of course you belong here, didn't I invite you? Come on in and meet some of my friends. Oh, gosh, no. Is there a drink in the house? Right off the boat. That's what the bootlegger said. You say what boat? Well, what boat would you like? We have all the labels. Come on, help yourself. You? Never use it.
- 13:47 - No.
- 13:49 You know, this party might turn out all right at then.
- 13:55 Miss Rogers.
- 13:56 I thought maybe you'd know.
- 14:00 Pretty crazy about that reporter, aren't you?
- 14:04 I'm sort of fond of him.
- 14:06 It's Dan.
- 14:08 I hate to see a nice girl like you get mixed up with a newspaper man.
- 14:12 Gosh, you never know what they're up to. They can get away with anything and alibi they're working.
- 14:20 Of course, a lot of fun ducking around interviewing chorus girls and all that sort of thing.
- 14:26 You seem to be swell. You're married. Applejack. Listen, don't worry about me. I don't need any advice. I've never even thought about getting married.
- 14:37 No fooling? No fooling. Well, I've been worried sick.
- 14:42 About what? I've been telling him for six months if he didn't keep away from you he'd find himself married.
- 14:53 Oh, it's right. Where are you being? Oh, Applejack, you're cute.
- 15:11 Julie, I've got to talk to you right away. Oh, hello. When did you get here? I want to talk to you. Excuse me. I'm ready.
- 15:23 - What's up, dear? Where can we be alone? - Why alone? I'm having fun. You've been pushing me around all evening. Now put on.
- 15:31 Come on.
- 15:35 Bring it in, pal. To see my old name.
- 15:49 Now don't be angry, Julie.
- 15:51 I'd have been here sooner or later. A lot's happened. It's a fine time to come to a party just before midnight.
- 15:56 die.
- 15:57 I'm sorry, but I've had a million things to do.
- 16:01 Now, wait a minute, darling. I want to get this straight. I want to tell you everything.
- 16:04 Julie, I've had a real break.
- 16:07 Flynn quit his job over in Tokyo. He's our Japanese correspondent.
- 16:10 He got fed up with the assignment of the weather or something.
- 16:13 Imagine the spot they left the paper in. Only one man in the Orient and he walked out on the job.
- 16:18 Oh, darling, you're cold. Here. Here, put this around it. I'm just excited. Here.
- 16:24 There we are.
- 16:24 You're going to take his place.
- 16:27 Well, that's what they want me to do.
- 16:29 I've got a ticket here for the train that leaves at 3 a.m.
- 16:31 Catch me in the San Francisco just in time to catch the next boat for Yokohama.
- 16:36 I can't believe it yet, Judy. Imagine them picking me.
- 16:40 Well, you're able, Roger. You have ability.
- 16:43 Anybody can see that?
- 16:46 You're going, huh?
- 16:49 That's what I want to talk to you about, honey.
- 16:51 It's a good salary, two-year contract.
- 16:53 And I'm more or less my own boss.
- 16:55 This kind of opportunity I've always wanted.
- 16:58 Select it.
- 16:59 I was wondering...
- 17:00 Listen, little boy.
- 17:02 Of course I want you to go. That's what's worrying you.
- 17:06 Please don't think. No. I wasn't worrying about that.
- 17:10 I knew you'd want me to take the job, Chud.
- 17:14 Julie, let's get married.
- 17:18 Let's get married right away tonight.
- 17:21 I'll be here to send for you in three months. I'll have the money then.
- 17:25 Three months? Why the rush to get married now?
- 17:30 Well...
- 17:31 But you think I'm going to let a funny little redhead like you run around loose here? Suppose a motherfella came along and... Oh, Judy, I've got to have you.
- 17:50 Is it till death do his part?
- 17:54 Till death do his part.
- 18:31 The whole land's high.
- 18:42 or richer.
- 18:43 - Or poor... - Richard.
- 18:46 Poor...
- 18:46 In sickness and in health.
- 18:49 Sickness.
- 18:50 - I didn't help.
- 18:52 To love...
- 18:53 and to cherish.
- 18:55 To love and to cherish.
- 18:57 till death.
- 19:00 You wash pot.
- 19:02 Till death doeth.
- 19:09 War. Well, we made it.
- 19:13 Well, come on.
- 19:15 Goodbye, Abbejacka.
- 19:17 Keep an eye on Julie for me. I sure will, boy.
- 19:20 It's all it does.
- 19:21 Take me care, mate.
- 19:22 I will.
- 19:27 Goodbye, darling.
- 19:30 Excuse me a minute, will you?
- 19:32 - Wait for me. - All right.
- 19:34 Roger, I can't say goodbye.
- 19:37 Yeah, you are, sir.
- 19:43 Talk goodbye, darling. Just see you later.
- 19:48 Anything I can do for you, boss? How soon is the train pull out?
- 19:51 About three minutes, sir.
- 19:55 Hello, Mrs. Adams.
- 19:57 Mrs. Adams.
- 19:59 Sounds strange.
- 20:01 That's strange.
- 20:02 Sounds great.
- 20:04 - That does sound great, doesn't it?
- 20:16 Something about a train.
- 20:18 I don't know whether it's...
- 20:19 the way it looked
- 20:20 to the way it smells or what it is.
- 20:22 It always makes me feel I want to be off somewhere.
- 20:26 I know. I always feel the same way.
- 20:29 Oh, Roger.
- 20:31 I wish this was our honeymoon.
- 20:33 Oh, I do too, Donnie.
- 20:42 Promise me something, will you?
- 20:45 Promise me never to take it off.
- 20:48 I'll never take it off.
- 20:49 No matter what happens.
- 21:05 The train's moving.
- 21:06 I'll get you off of here.
- 21:55 Ward!
- 21:59 Okay.
- 22:00 It's right here.
- 22:54 Come on, Jack. Come on, Jack.
- 22:59 Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
- 23:10 Hmm.
- 23:16 Well, here we are.
- 23:20 Oh.
- 23:23 Yours.
- 23:24 Roger, I didn't expect anything myself.
- 23:32 All right.
- 23:33 It's like something in a dream. These are all salad. Cooks and or hammer sand?
- 23:41 How do you do?
- 23:43 Well, hello.
- 23:44 - Hello. - Hello.
- 23:45 Hello. Hello there.
- 23:50 Hello. Hello.
- 23:55 Oh, children.
- 23:57 The servants still live. They live here.
- 23:59 I thought you didn't like children. Who, me? They're all right. Come on in. How do you like the place? Lovely.
- 24:10 But it's so luxurious. How can we afford it? Oh, now don't be so practical when I'm being highly romantic. Nothing's to go for my little wife.
- 24:17 I'll say this, come on.
- 24:18 Hmm.
- 24:19 - Sir, how'd you like that, huh? - Yeah, I knew so.
- 24:21 Beautiful.
- 24:23 Oh, you are sweet.
- 24:25 But I'd have been satisfied with anything just to be here. Oh, I know you would, darling. But only the best for you. Come on, we have it upstairs to this house, too. We have a C and two. What's a C and two? A C and two is the Japanese word for bedroom, believe it or not. That's right. You wrote me a spell Japanese.
- 24:41 - I'll do it. - Perfect.
- 24:44 - Simply perfect. - I thought she'd like it.
- 24:49 Hello, killer.
- 24:51 Roger, are we going to keep it? I mean, stay here right along?
- 24:55 Why, certainly it's yours.
- 24:57 I bought the lease from an American and went back.
- 25:00 I got the lease, the furniture, two servants, three kids, a cat and her kids.
- 25:04 All for 2,000 yen.
- 25:05 2,000 yen.
- 25:07 How much is there?
- 25:09 Oh, about a thousand dollars.
- 25:12 That's right.
- 25:14 How in the world do you do it? I mean...
- 25:16 Get the money to send for me and buy all this too.
- 25:19 Well, I got an advance.
- 25:21 They've been.
- 25:22 Ciao.
- 25:22 An advance on the salary.
- 25:24 Oh, everybody does out here.
- 25:26 Only the other day a fellow down at the office was saying...
- 25:29 He wished April was here.
- 25:30 And I said why.
- 25:32 And he said, well, so I can get an advance on my December salary.
- 25:36 Mm-hmm.
- 25:40 oh now darling you're not going to be one of those wives always worried about money are you oh no
- 25:47 No, only...
- 25:49 Besides, you forget we still got the inheritance.
- 25:51 Yes, I know, but...
- 25:53 Well, I sort of hate to start off in debt.
- 25:56 - Especially if-- - You've got a lot to learn about the Orient.
- 26:01 Roger.
- 26:05 Remember this?
- 26:08 Sure, it's one of those fortune things you got at the beach.
- 26:11 I fancy you keeping that.
- 26:14 They're not always the bunk.
- 26:15 You said that.
- 26:16 Did I say that?
- 26:18 Well, well. Sometimes, like wishes, they come true.
- 26:22 Why should they do?
- 26:24 Certainly.
- 26:27 I'm not sure.
- 26:43 Well...
- 26:44 Why didn't you tell me? Why didn't you write me?
- 26:47 You don't like them.
- 26:49 I don't like them.
- 26:50 Well, of course I do.
- 26:52 Why would I have three of them running around the...
- 26:55 And this will be our own. An American kid. Our own.
- 27:02 Gee, that's great.
- 27:04 - Oh.
- 27:05 - I do.
- 27:07 I'm so relieved.
- 27:12 Well, you funny little redhead.
- 27:15 Oh, oh.
- 27:19 Very fine kimono!
- 27:22 Very expensive.
- 27:24 Husband must be rich man.
- 27:28 He's either rich or.
- 27:31 Watch the button!
- 27:33 Hi!
- 27:52 What are you doing home this time today?
- 27:54 What makes you so beautiful, huh? - How'd you get off so early? - Come on, let me see you.
- 27:59 Well...
- 28:00 Having babies makes you look like this. We'd better keep on having them. How do you like it? Oh, Roger, I adore it.
- 28:06 Why almost today? This isn't my birthday. Oh, it's a souvenir. It's a souvenir of your stay in Japan because, darling, we're leaving.
- 28:13 Leaving Japan? Mm-hmm. Now brace yourself for good news, Mrs. Adams, because good news is what I bring.
- 28:18 We now belong to that class of society known as the filthy rich.
- 28:23 Roger.
- 28:24 - The inheritance? - Yes.
- 28:25 You got it. Yes, ma'am.
- 28:27 Ah!
- 28:30 - But the one... - There, now you see, you didn't believe me about it, did you? - No, no, I didn't. - Is it great?
- 28:38 Thank you for the talent.
- 28:39 I don't want a ball. Oh, that's all right.
- 28:44 I'm teaching him to be a first baseman.
- 28:49 Now.
- 28:50 Paragraph two, Mr. and Mrs. Roger Adams, socially prominent young couple, plan to take a trip around the world.
- 28:56 The paper's sending you. No, I've quit the paper.
- 28:59 We're gonna have a last thing before we settle down and become good old American parents.
- 29:03 But, Roger, you just didn't give up your job on the paper for no reason at all. Oh, darling, this trip's an inspiration.
- 29:08 Do you remember the honeymoon I promised you? Well, we're gonna have it.
- 29:12 But things are different now. We've got to think about the baby. Well, that's just it. As soon as the baby comes, we won't be able to go anywhere.
- 29:18 Besides, I want our baby boy in the USA.
- 29:20 Then we can get to work and start that little paper.
- 29:23 What a trip like this costs a fortune?
- 29:27 Did you get more than the 20,000?
- 29:30 No, as a matter of fact, we didn't get the 20,000.
- 29:32 We sold the property for cash and got $13,500.
- 29:36 Well, can you take a trip and buy a paper and all that on $13,000, Piper? Oh, don't forget to steal lawyer's fees and deductions, stuff like that.
- 29:43 Just how much did you get, Roger?
- 29:46 I'm trying to tell you.
- 29:47 After the deductions, we got $10,000.
- 29:50 Ten thousand.
- 29:52 I've still got a couple thousand in bills around here to pay.
- 29:56 Then you really only got $8,000.
- 29:59 Yes.
- 30:02 Did you ever have that much money in your life?
- 30:05 No.
- 30:06 What are you squawking about?
- 30:09 I'm not squawking.
- 30:13 Acting like a child.
- 30:14 We should be thinking about the future.
- 30:17 You rush in and pack up your things and give up a perfectly good job.
- 30:21 No grown-up man should act like that. All right.
- 30:24 I thought the trip would be a lot of fun for you.
- 30:26 If I don't you're gonna feel like that, I wouldn't have planned on that.
- 30:31 That's all right. Let's forget it. We won't go.
- 30:36 I'll go in and arrange for the packing.
- 30:38 Oh, no, forget about it.
- 31:06 I'm sorry.
- 32:13 - No.
- 32:18 Well, that's all.
- 32:25 Otherwise, you'll enjoy perfect health.
- 32:28 We are playing tennis in a couple of months.
- 32:32 Now I've got some good news for you.
- 32:35 I'm letting your husband see you today.
- 32:37 How's that?
- 32:38 Pretty?
- 32:39 Make you feel better?
- 32:41 I've had my hands full keeping that boy out of here for the last couple of days.
- 33:05 Hello darling. Hello, Roger.
- 33:09 - Wow. - Sweet.
- 33:42 Gee, you've been miserable not fair to see you, honey.
- 33:49 I've had a chance to...
- 33:50 to do some serious thinking, dear.
- 33:53 I've been scouting around the nearby towns, trying to look for that.
- 33:56 Little newspaper, you know.
- 34:02 No more silly ideas like traveling around, darling.
- 34:05 You're absolutely right about that.
- 34:11 I think I found it, honey.
- 34:14 Meow.
- 34:18 It's a...
- 34:18 Little town just north of here, a place called Rosalia.
- 34:22 Did you ever hear of it?
- 34:23 Hmm.
- 34:26 I
- 34:29 Oh, my God.
- 34:32 Hey.
- 34:35 It's pretty nearly the kind of place we want it.
- 34:40 There's a fellow on the newspaper who's been kind of letting you go to see them.
- 34:43 We can make something of it.
- 34:49 Best of all, darling, we'll have a home of our own.
- 34:52 Something we can always call ours.
- 34:54 And if I can make it go of the paper, I'll be able to get you anything you want.
- 34:59 I'll be able to get your furniture and a car.
- 35:02 clothes, everything.
- 35:04 - Hello.
- 35:05 You know, it's strange, Roger.
- 35:08 But I can't get myself to care about those things now.
- 35:14 They don't seem important anymore.
- 35:19 The one thing I've...
- 35:21 really wanted.
- 35:24 I'm never going to have.
- 36:11 I'm going to go.
- 36:30 I'm going to go.
- 36:38 Hmm.
- 36:40 Amen.
- 36:43 Amen.
- 37:04 I'm going to go.
- 37:16 Come on.
- 37:20 I'm sorry.
- 37:39 What do you think of this one, Skeeter? Quite an improvement. Gee, Mr. Adams, I'd like to get a job with a live wire outfit like this. You would? All right, Skeeter, you've got one and a permanent job, too. Oh, boy.
- 38:16 Oh.
- 38:16 Hamble Jack! Howdy, Big Sean! Hello, fellow. How's the old married man? Well, you had me worried. I thought you were going to let me down. Come on.
- 38:23 So this is the fastest growing little newspaper and the fastest growing little town in the West. Certainly.
- 38:28 I left the bulletin for this.
- 38:31 What you got here? Throw in your makeup. What do you think of it?
- 38:38 What do you bring it in, Code? Code? No, the linotype machine is stuck. Why do you think I sent for you?
- 38:43 Applejack!
- 38:45 Miss Julie!
- 38:47 Am I glad to see you.
- 38:50 Come on up and help me fix the bathtub you just in time.
- 38:53 Wait a minute. Let him fix this first.
- 38:55 All right.
- 38:56 The newspaper always comes first around here. Come on.
- 39:03 We've been feeding it.
- 39:06 - The switch on? - Yeah.
- 39:09 Now, where's that man?
- 39:48 I'm not sure.
- 40:04 Hello, Elvijay. Oh, I didn't know you were busy.
- 40:07 I'm not busy.
- 40:09 I've just been thinking about fixing up this old store. I just wanted to show you a new ad we got from the telephone company.
- 40:16 Well, that helps, doesn't it? Sure does. Don't we keep on with it? We'll be able to pay the paper bill next month.
- 40:27 Said he might not be home until late.
- 40:30 Oh, well, come on then. Sit down, Applejack. We might as well have our dinner.
- 40:46 Miss Julie?
- 40:48 We ought to have a kid around this house.
- 40:53 I thought you knew about that, Appletail.
- 40:56 Oh, sure, I know about that. But I'm talking about adopting one.
- 41:03 Sure, you can get some pretty good ones that way.
- 41:07 You know, I'm an adopted kid myself.
- 41:10 I know that's not much of a recommendation, but...
- 41:14 It didn't turn out so bad.
- 41:16 Besides, I know a lot of regular kids that wound up in jail.
- 41:22 Miss Julie, I wish you could have seen some of those little sons of guns I used to room with.
- 41:28 He was the cutest little rascal she'd ever want to look at.
- 41:32 I don't think Roger would want a child that way, Applejack.
- 41:36 One that wasn't his own.
- 41:38 Why not?
- 41:39 He's no sucker.
- 41:41 He don't want to gamble.
- 41:43 How do you know what it's gonna be like if it's gotta be your own?
- 41:46 This way you...
- 41:47 Just walk in and help yourself to exactly what you want.
- 41:50 There's no guesswork.
- 41:56 You know, I've thought a lot about that.
- 42:00 I want one.
- 42:05 Roger was so disappointed when...
- 42:08 I just haven't had the courage to... Miss Julie.
- 42:11 Do you want to know something?
- 42:13 He's all for the idea.
- 42:15 Only your...
- 42:17 A few days ago we were working together and
- 42:20 I was talking with him and
- 42:22 You were talking to him about this?
- 42:24 Sure.
- 42:25 He's all for it.
- 42:28 Well, why didn't he say something to me?
- 42:31 Look, he was afraid to say anything to you. He would...
- 42:34 He was afraid you might have some fool notions.
- 42:39 Silly notions.
- 42:42 If he only knew how many...
- 42:47 What the very idea!
- 42:49 My own husband talking about things like this with a...
- 42:53 The printer.
- 42:55 Press manager, please.
- 42:57 All right, the press manager.
- 42:59 Are you going to be the mother?
- 43:01 No.
- 43:02 I just thought I...
- 43:03 Fine thing. Where did I get my hands on that fellow?
- 43:09 Hello, what's going on? A fight?
- 43:12 Hello, Roger. Roger, I want you to look at that new ad. Would you come downstairs? Roger, wait a minute. Applejack.
- 43:18 Why didn't you tell me?
- 43:20 Tell you what.
- 43:21 What you and Applejack have been talking about. Miss Julie, I told you in confidence...
- 43:26 Yeah.
- 43:27 What were we talking about?
- 43:29 What's that?
- 43:29 You know...
- 43:31 About the...
- 43:32 He told me.
- 43:34 Told you what?
- 43:35 Well, you know what we were talking about, that...
- 43:37 What were we talking about?
- 43:39 Right.
- 43:40 If you wanted to adopt a baby, why didn't you talk to me?
- 43:43 Yes, you should have told Herba rights in the first place, Roger, not me. I'm not going to be the mother.
- 43:49 Wait a minute. Did... did...
- 43:51 Did you tell Julie I wanted to adopt a baby?
- 43:53 Well, I hit it at it.
- 43:56 I tried to break it to her gently.
- 43:58 Oh, you told her? Yeah.
- 44:00 Roger, I'm so glad you feel that way.
- 44:03 Yes, she wants it even more than you, Roger.
- 44:06 Well, if that's the way we all feel about it. I like it, too.
- 44:10 I suppose it's settled.
- 44:11 Oh, Roger, I'm so glad.
- 44:14 If it hadn't been for Applejack letting it slip out, I don't suppose I ever would have known.
- 44:18 Guess I'd better go fix that press.
- 44:20 Yeah, you fix everything else, don't you?
- 44:23 Didn't do so bad with Beth.
- 44:26 Oh, Julie, while I think of it... Look, now...
- 44:31 When you get to this place, don't get enthusiastic right off the bat. You know, don't just rush in and grab the first kid you see and go nuts about it.
- 44:40 What makes you think I'll grab the first one they show me?
- 44:43 I've been doing the shopping in this family for some time now.
- 44:47 I just don't bring home anything.
- 44:50 You came home with this tie, did you?
- 44:52 Oh, it's nice.
- 44:53 Everybody's wearing bow ties.
- 44:57 I have your letter here.
- 45:00 Two-year-old child, blue eyes, curly hair, dimpled chin, sweet disposition. We prefer a boy.
- 45:06 But we'd like to look at the girl, too.
- 45:09 - Oh, now, Julie, you know we agreed on a boy. - Well, it won't hurt the look, will it?
- 45:12 All right, we love you.
- 45:15 Now, what can you show us?
- 45:17 Well, this is the administration building. We don't have any children here at all.
- 45:21 Oh.
- 45:24 Everybody wants blue eyes, curly hair, dimples, sweet...
- 45:27 Everybody wants a two-year-old child. Will you tell me why?
- 45:33 Well, you see...
- 45:34 In our case,
- 45:36 That would have been the age of our own child if...
- 45:39 Oh.
- 45:40 I see.
- 45:43 Anyway, when they're two years old, they're more or less housebroken then, aren't they?
- 45:48 Well, not always.
- 45:56 At the moment, we haven't any children available at all.
- 45:59 There's a long waiting list. There are three applications for every child.
- 46:03 If you get one within a year, you'll be lucky.
- 46:05 - What? - A year.
- 46:07 You mean to say we might have to wait a year?
- 46:10 Well, after all, real parents wait almost a year.
- 46:13 - Well, yes, certainly, but... - No, but... You see, we've waited so long already.
- 46:18 I know, my dear, but you're both very young.
- 46:21 Then, too, we have to have time to make our investigation.
- 46:25 Investigation.
- 46:26 Yes, you see, we're just as particular about you as prospective parents.
- 46:30 as you are about the child.
- 46:32 - Well... - That's for Lydia.
- 46:34 What is your business, Mr. Adams?
- 46:38 I'm a publisher. I run the Rosalia Courier.
- 46:41 Publisher. Sure.
- 46:43 I beg your pardon. Mrs. Green is on the phone. What shall I tell her?
- 46:50 Oh...
- 46:51 Tell her that we're sorry.
- 46:53 But according to our investigator's report, we find that Mr. Green doesn't have a steady income.
- 46:58 Later, perhaps, if he finds himself better situated, we'll...
- 47:02 reconsider their application.
- 47:06 You see, it's not our aim to place our children in homes of wealth, but it's absolutely necessary for us to have the assurance that the adoptive parents are financially responsible.
- 47:16 Oh, shit.
- 47:18 I see in your letter that you live in the country.
- 47:21 Good.
- 47:22 I presume that means then that you have a house and yard.
- 47:26 Well, no, we don't have a yard.
- 47:29 We live in an apartment.
- 47:32 But there's a nice park nearby.
- 47:34 Oh yeah, we got a swell roof too. We've been putting a fence around it.
- 47:38 Then I could build a slide in a sandbox.
- 47:40 Well, as a matter of fact, a roof is better for a kick because then he can't get out in the street, you see.
- 47:46 Look, it doesn't have to be a yard, does it?
- 47:48 No.
- 47:49 But you have a separate room for the child, haven't you? That's very important.
- 47:53 - Oh, sure. - Oh, yes, yes. We have a lovely room.
- 47:55 Practically fixed up now. Oh, well, that's fine.
- 48:00 Now...
- 48:01 About income.
- 48:04 Approximately how much do you make a week?
- 48:09 Well, I couldn't tell you offhand.
- 48:12 I imagine about a hundred dollars a week.
- 48:14 Of course, I'd have to look at the books.
- 48:15 Well, that's excellent. She'll just take that application home with you.
- 48:19 Fill it out and mail it in to us so we'll have all the details. And then in due time, one of our investigators will call on you.
- 48:25 For fun.
- 48:27 You'll call us before she comes, won't you?
- 48:29 No.
- 48:31 We just drop in. That's our policy.
- 48:34 You see, we want to find your house as it really is every day.
- 48:37 and not when it's fixed up for company.
- 48:40 I see.
- 48:41 Goodbye, Miss Ellery. Goodbye.
- 48:44 Oh, uh...
- 48:47 It doesn't matter if he hasn't got curly hair.
- 48:50 It doesn't really matter.
- 48:57 Hey there, darn choosy if you ask me. Why do you have to be a big shot? When? You know we don't make a hundred dollars a week.
- 49:05 You want the baby, don't you?
- 49:07 They can't prove it. We don't keep books.
- 49:16 Hey, quit stalling. Get over the cleaning. Look, honey, left from the earthquake.
- 49:20 You'd better buy some more.
- 49:28 Stop that man standing back here.
- 49:43 Excuse me, lady.
- 49:44 We should give a fellow a warning.
- 49:47 Does Mrs. Adams live here? Yes, upstairs. I'll call her. No, don't bother. No.
- 49:52 I miss Oliver from the orphanage. I'll find her.
- 49:55 Oh, I don't think she's home just now, I...
- 49:57 I think she's in church.
- 49:58 In church, this time of day?
- 50:00 Well, uh...
- 50:02 You see, you...
- 50:03 She and Mr. Adams go there quite a lot.
- 50:06 They just go there and sit.
- 50:08 Fine people he had.
- 50:18 Well, I'm sure that she won't mind if I just look around a bit. No, let me...
- 50:24 No, she won't mind it.
- 51:15 How do you do, Miss Holland? How do you do, Miss Adams?
- 51:18 Oh, I'm sorry. It's all right.
- 51:22 Won't you sit down?
- 51:34 You've come to see the apartment.
- 51:36 That's right.
- 51:38 So...
- 51:39 - This is it. - That is.
- 51:41 It's not very neat at the moment.
- 51:43 We're cleaning.
- 51:45 I see.
- 51:48 Um...
- 51:49 That's our little breakfast room out there.
- 51:55 And...
- 51:57 If you step like this, will you?
- 52:04 This is our kitchen.
- 52:09 - My husband's been doing trips this morning for some time. And he's so busy on the...
- 52:23 That brings us back to the...
- 52:26 I see the breakfast room.
- 52:34 Can I fix you just a cup of tea?
- 52:38 You spoke of a child's room.
- 52:40 A lovely room.
- 52:42 Yes.
- 52:43 Yes, that's over here.
- 53:01 Oh, this is sweet. You really like it?
- 53:06 Any child would be lucky to have a room like this.
- 53:09 Oh, well, I want you to see our yards. We're fixing that up, too.
- 53:16 Well...
- 53:20 Well, hello, Miss Oliver. - Mr. Adams. - Didn't expect you.
- 53:23 I just finished making it.
- 53:25 Fella, try it out. See if it was strong enough for that two-year-old.
- 53:28 I think I have a surprise for you.
- 53:32 A baby came in yesterday.
- 53:34 - No. - Miss Oliver, you mean...
- 53:35 Here, come and sit down. - Thank you.
- 53:39 Sit down.
- 53:42 That's the reason that we came around to see you sooner than we expected.
- 53:46 It's a little girl.
- 53:48 We don't want a girl.
- 53:52 Five weeks and three days old.
- 53:55 Five weeks?
- 53:59 Well, uh...
- 54:00 We did speak of an older child, you know.
- 54:02 You might have to wait a long time.
- 54:05 After all, aren't you making too great a point of the child's age, Mr. Adams?
- 54:10 Eventually, this child will be two years old.
- 54:14 But we don't know anything about such little babies.
- 54:17 Well, no one does until they have them.
- 54:20 And this is such an unusual little baby.
- 54:23 Actually, there's another couple who has first choice. Now, that's strictly off the record.
- 54:28 But somehow I feel she's exactly the child for you.
- 54:31 That's why I wanted you to see her first, and I couldn't resist giving you the chance.
- 54:36 Did you bring her with you?
- 54:37 Oh, no, she's in the nursery. You and Mr. Adams will have to come over to the city to see her.
- 54:43 What's she like, Miss Oliver?
- 54:45 Well...
- 54:47 I can't describe her exactly, but she's...
- 54:51 Well, she's like no other child.
- 54:55 Like no other child.
- 54:59 But she isn't a boy.
- 55:04 But look, Roger, there's no harm in looking at her. If you don't like her, I won't say a word.
- 55:08 What's the use? We don't want her.
- 55:14 Please, darling.
- 55:16 It won't hurt to look at her.
- 55:22 Oh, all right, we'll look.
- 55:24 Oh, that's fine.
- 55:25 You call me up and I'll make an appointment at the nursery.
- 55:27 I must go now.
- 55:32 Oh, if you change your mind, you will call me up, won't you?
- 55:37 Uh, yes. Yes.
- 55:41 Miss Oliver, please don't show her to that other couple until we've seen her, would you?
- 55:45 I won't, my dear.
- 56:03 Oh, yeah!
- 56:05 I...
- 56:06 Ah!
- 56:07 *Crying*
- 56:12 Come on.
- 56:37 She's like no other child.
- 56:39 That's why I wanted you to see her first.
- 56:43 like no other child.
- 56:56 Well, how about him?
- 56:58 This is a day nursery. All these youngsters have parents.
- 57:04 all except this lovely little girl.
- 57:17 Oh, my God.
- 57:19 What a grip.
- 57:21 For a girl, I mean.
- 57:25 Would you like to hold it?
- 57:28 What are you?
- 57:42 I can't take the bus.
- 57:46 Giggle!
- 57:54 No.
- 57:56 Ah.
- 58:00 Uh.
- 58:03 Why the kid?
- 58:10 Well, uh...
- 58:13 You've had your look, dear. How about going back home?
- 58:19 Oh, she's yours, I guess.
- 58:26 When do we get her? Now, if you like. She's yours on a year's probation. Now?
- 58:33 You mean we can just walk out of here with her like this? It sometimes happens that way.
- 58:38 If we make sure that the parents and the baby are just right for each other.
- 58:43 Well... We have no clothes for her. We don't know how to feed her.
- 58:47 Such a little baby. Well, Miss Morgan will take care of everything. She'll give you the formula and so forth, and then you can go downtown and buy whatever is necessary.
- 58:57 Ah!
- 59:00 - I know.
- 59:04 Thank you, Miss Oliver, for being so kind. Oh, don't thank me. Thank you.
- 59:07 It just happened so.
- 59:09 Perhaps before you make up your minds fully to take the child, you'd like to have me go into her history.
- 59:15 I can assure you it's an excellent one.
- 59:17 If she'll take a chance on us, we'll take a chance on her.
- 59:22 by myself, then.
- 59:37 I shut the door.
- 59:50 If he wakes up again, you know what that means.
- 59:57 Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
- 1:00:00 - Baby, will I turn on the light?
- 1:00:01 Drop him.
- 1:00:02 I mean her.
- 1:00:19 Oh, yeah.
- 1:01:17 Come back here. I'll leave it.
- 1:01:24 Take off his shoes.
- 1:01:45 I'm sorry.
- 1:01:59 Shh.
- 1:02:12 Go get the big one and buy our room.
- 1:02:31 Let me ask you.
- 1:02:42 That's all right. Come on, let's go to bed.
- 1:02:46 No.
- 1:03:02 I don't think I'll go to bed.
- 1:03:04 She eats again in a half hour.
- 1:03:07 Direction say so.
- 1:03:10 I'll set the alarm. Come on.
- 1:03:14 - No.
- 1:03:17 Turn the bed closed, Darwin.
- 1:03:26 Turn it off.
- 1:04:25 What's the matter with it? I don't know. Do you think she's all right?
- 1:04:28 Huh?
- 1:04:37 Is it breathing?
- 1:04:42 *crying*
- 1:04:44 Eh.
- 1:04:48 She's certainly a good little baby, isn't she? We were lucky to get her.
- 1:04:54 Oh.
- 1:04:57 Let's go to bed.
- 1:05:45 But do something, quickly.
- 1:05:59 I do.
- 1:06:03 But do something. Can't you see the baby's suffering? I just said I don't know what to do.
- 1:06:11 Oh, now, don't just stay in it. Do something.
- 1:06:18 Hmm?
- 1:06:19 You do something.
- 1:06:29 Oh, no, no, I'm going to get Miss Oliver.
- 1:06:57 Huh.
- 1:07:00 I'm...
- 1:07:02 Just wanted her daddy.
- 1:07:07 Move the chair, please.
- 1:07:10 Shh.
- 1:09:34 Oh, dear.
- 1:09:45 I'm going to go.
- 1:09:47 Chewie! The baby!
- 1:09:49 It's gone!
- 1:09:51 The baby's deadlamped!
- 1:09:54 Oh, my God.
- 1:10:02 *crying*
- 1:10:08 She was lonesome, so I brought in here with us. Don't ever do that to me again.
- 1:10:24 - Okay.
- 1:10:30 Morning, boys.
- 1:10:31 - Where's the truck? - Shut it off!
- 1:10:57 Now what are you trying to do? What am I trying to do? I'm trying to get your crummy paper out. That's what I'm trying to do. What's your idea of waking the baby up?
- 1:11:04 What baby? My baby!
- 1:11:06 You're a biggie.
- 1:11:08 came last night
- 1:11:09 No fooling a baby?
- 1:11:11 Whee! You baby!
- 1:11:15 Come on, I'll show you.
- 1:11:34 Mmm.
- 1:11:56 Can I help?
- 1:11:57 No.
- 1:12:04 I'm going to go.
- 1:12:12 Look.
- 1:12:25 Mm-mm.
- 1:12:27 Sure you don't want me to help?
- 1:12:37 Oh.
- 1:12:58 Eh?
- 1:13:10 Uh.
- 1:13:35 Oh.
- 1:13:55 What's the matter?
- 1:13:58 Nothing's a matter.
- 1:14:08 What's terrible?
- 1:14:15 I can't do anything as long as you're sitting around here watching me. Get out.
- 1:14:18 Go on, get out, all of you. What do you think this is?
- 1:14:22 Go on now, get off that paper. You'll be quiet about it.
- 1:14:27 Oh, Roger, I don't have a favor. I'm afraid I'll drown. Oh, no, darling, no, no. Take it easy.
- 1:14:33 I could drown in that much water. Here. Come on. Get your arm.
- 1:14:38 All right.
- 1:14:42 Uh...
- 1:14:42 Uh.
- 1:14:43 - Mm-hmm.
- 1:14:52 Oh, your penis.
- 1:14:59 Your Uncle Applejack's gonna give you a nice bath.
- 1:15:05 Give me that washroom.
- 1:15:08 There we are.
- 1:15:16 All right.
- 1:15:18 - Some day your uncle after dad teach you to swing.
- 1:15:21 Oh, Roger, I'll never be able to do that. We'll have to give a bath. Sure you will. I'll tell you this, you know.
- 1:15:27 All you got to do is...
- 1:15:28 Decide whose boss you were in.
- 1:15:31 How the word did you ever learn to do that, Applejack?
- 1:15:34 Sister had four kids.
- 1:15:36 She took two and I take two.
- 1:15:40 I'm going to go.
- 1:15:43 Ah, so pretty!
- 1:15:50 What was that, Al?
- 1:15:59 There we are. There we are.
- 1:16:03 I'll cry the whole thing.
- 1:16:08 All right.
- 1:16:09 Where's Dalcom?
- 1:16:30 Gucci, Gucci, girl.
- 1:16:31 Oh.
- 1:16:32 Where'd you go?
- 1:16:33 Where is it?
- 1:16:35 Fine.
- 1:16:37 Eat.
- 1:16:38 Oh, oh.
- 1:16:43 Yes, sir. Who's your mighty fine girl?

- 1:17:03 I think you can hold this a minute, Lord, Robert. Oh, sure.
- 1:17:06 Okay.
- 1:17:07 Oh, she didn't. Yes, she said.
- 1:17:10 - We should.
- 1:17:14 I forget what I...
- 1:17:17 Now watch this closely.
- 1:17:25 Okay.
- 1:17:29 I'm a one-pin man myself.
- 1:17:35 You are. You jump right in there, Pena.
- 1:17:43 You're going to your mama.
- 1:17:49 You better write all that down because I might get a better offer.
- 1:18:16 Just Molly and
- 1:18:18 And baby makes three We're happy in mind Oh, sure, she's good looking.
- 1:18:32 Um...
- 1:18:33 - You still sorry she wasn't a boy? - Huh?
- 1:18:37 Oh boy, look at me the boy.
- 1:18:39 Shh, let me hear that. You wanted a boy, aren't you? Boy. Treena's got his little girl, aren't you, Treena?
- 1:18:56 Oh, Roger, be careful now.
- 1:19:10 Hello.
- 1:19:14 - Oh.
- 1:19:16 - Hello, Miss Oliver. - How you doing, Miss Adams? Come in.
- 1:19:20 Thank you so much for letting us know you were coming this time.
- 1:19:27 - Hello, Miss Oliver. - Oh, how do you do, Mr. Adams?
- 1:19:29 Tina?
- 1:19:29 This is your fairy gardener, Miss Oliver.
- 1:19:32 Say hello, sweetheart.
- 1:19:34 Yes, she's not very timid, is she?
- 1:19:38 I can plainly see that she adores her father.
- 1:19:42 - She means everything to us. - I wish you'd make her cold.
- 1:19:45 Yes, you do. Everything. When are we going to get to Owen or Outright?
- 1:19:50 You go before the judge, the 27th.
- 1:19:52 27, eh?
- 1:19:53 You'll want to see these charts, I suppose. Yes.
- 1:20:03 One you can send back to us.
- 1:20:06 and the other you'll file with the court at the court with the final papers
- 1:20:12 These are the same questions that you answered last year. We just want to bring them up to date.
- 1:20:18 Mm-mm.
- 1:20:19 Now let's see.
- 1:20:20 - Religion?
- 1:20:23 James.
- 1:20:25 Ha, see.
- 1:20:29 Hehehehe.
- 1:20:34 age
- 1:20:37 When you're older. I have that.
- 1:20:41 profession.
- 1:20:43 still publisher, isn't it?
- 1:20:46 Yes.
- 1:20:51 income
- 1:20:56 Income.
- 1:21:00 Well, you see, Miss Oliver...
- 1:21:02 None.
- 1:21:30 Oh, that's the way it is in the newspaper game, Miss Oliver. Especially when you're starting one of your own.
- 1:21:36 You'll have to close now. Watch before you really get going.
- 1:21:39 Uh...
- 1:21:40 It's only temporary. I'm having a jam in my wholesale paper mill.
- 1:21:43 First thing you know, I'll have it humming by the 27th.
- 1:21:47 I'll go for a while.
- 1:21:52 I'm sure you'll find a way, Mr. Adams.
- 1:21:56 Amen.
- 1:21:58 But you and I have to prove to the judge that your income is enough to take care of Trina.
- 1:22:05 You know we'd give Trina everything she needed, Miss Oliver, no matter who else had to suffer around here.
- 1:22:11 I realize that.
- 1:22:16 *laughter*
- 1:22:22 You're on a school now.
- 1:22:23 That's all we can do today.
- 1:22:25 Uh...
- 1:22:26 Could I drive you to the train?
- 1:22:31 This country air is so fresh.
- 1:22:41 Hulk!
- 1:22:44 Bad legs.
- 1:22:46 She doesn't want us to have Trina.
- 1:22:48 Yes, she does, darling.
- 1:22:53 Oh, yes, she does.
- 1:23:06 I'm sorry.
- 1:23:10 Amen.
- 1:23:27 I'm sorry.
- 1:23:56 Oh, my God.
- 1:24:02 Oh.
- 1:24:09 Hey!
- 1:24:27 Oh.
- 1:25:16 give you an opportunity to better prepare your facts.
- 1:25:20 - The Atom's case. - What? The Atom's case.
- 1:25:25 Oh, yes, Andrew.
- 1:25:27 And if either one or both of you gentlemen conduct yourselves like you've been doing today, I'll hold you in contempt. The both of you.
- 1:25:43 Oh.
- 1:25:45 Oh, this is a charling question. Let me see.
- 1:25:52 All right.
- 1:25:55 Yes.
- 1:25:55 Hmm.
- 1:25:56 Mm.
- 1:26:03 Looking over these adoption papers here...
- 1:26:06 I see that you have no income at present.
- 1:26:10 Is that correct?
- 1:26:11 Yes, Your Honor.
- 1:26:13 What is this, Miss Oliver? You know, this case should never have come before me.
- 1:26:18 Well, Your Honor, I feel that this is a special case.
- 1:26:22 I kept hoping until the last minute that Mr. Adams might be able to resume the operation of his paper or get a job.
- 1:26:29 But unfortunately, he hasn't been able to do either. So I thought... Along with these conditions, I cannot grant the adoption.
- 1:26:37 and this child will have to revert to the orphanage.
- 1:26:41 Will you draw up the chair, please, while I...
- 1:26:44 Prepare these release papers for you to sign.
- 1:26:55 Just a matter of routine.
- 1:27:12 If you please, Your Honor.
- 1:27:14 It can't just be a matter of routine for people to have their baby taken away from them.
- 1:27:18 This child is ours, Judge. Those are the requirements of the law.
- 1:27:24 Yes, but you see, we've had her since she was six weeks old.
- 1:27:28 It just doesn't seem reasonable that we should have to give her back now to strangers.
- 1:27:33 Mr. Adams...
- 1:27:34 You're not here to fling your case.
- 1:27:37 You've had the regular opportunity to prove your fitness to provide
- 1:27:43 We are fit, Judge, if you just look at the record.
- 1:27:47 Without any income, I have no alternative.
- 1:27:52 Didn't you make that clear, Miss Oliver?
- 1:27:54 Yes, Your Honor, I did. But I thought... I'm sorry, but...
- 1:27:58 That is the law.
- 1:28:16 Look, Your Honor, she's not like an automobile or an icebox or a piece of furniture or something you buy on time and then when you can't keep up the payments they take it away from you?
- 1:28:25 I said still and be a good girl.
- 1:28:27 Anyone can give up those kind of things.
- 1:28:30 But I ask you, Judge, how can you give up your own child?
- 1:28:33 And she is our child, just as much as she's been born to us.
- 1:28:37 No, no, Daddy's not going to go away, dear.
- 1:28:44 Look, Judge.
- 1:28:45 We've had her over a year now.
- 1:28:48 Why, we walked the floor with her when she had the colic.
- 1:28:51 We've lost nights of sleep worrying every time she cut a tooth.
- 1:28:54 We've gone through everything.
- 1:28:55 Everything a real parent's have is one of their own.
- 1:28:58 That's Miss Oliver here about the inspections we've had to have.
- 1:29:01 Her weight charge, her vaccination certificates, her toys and dressers, her toothbrush.
- 1:29:06 They come around regularly and check up on all those things to see if we're taking care of her properly.
- 1:29:11 How many real parents could keep one of their own?
- 1:29:13 Go through that.
- 1:29:16 And you sit there and say it's a matter of routine for you to take her away from us. Please.
- 1:29:20 Mr. Adams.
- 1:29:26 I'm sorry, Judge.
- 1:29:35 Well, you see, we weren't as fortunate as most people.
- 1:29:39 We'd have had one of our own, only on it.
- 1:29:42 Well, you don't know how badly my wife wanted a child.
- 1:29:46 It wasn't so important to me.
- 1:29:49 I don't know, I suppose most men are like this, but children never meant a great deal to me.
- 1:29:53 Oh, I like them all right, I suppose.
- 1:29:56 Well, what I'm trying to say is, Your Honor...
- 1:29:58 The first time I saw her...
- 1:30:03 She looks so little and helpless.
- 1:30:06 I didn't know babies were so little.
- 1:30:10 And then when she took hold of my finger and held on to it, she just sort of walked into my heart, Judge, and she was there to stay.
- 1:30:17 I didn't know I could feel like that.
- 1:30:20 I'd always been...
- 1:30:22 Well, I'm kind of careless and irresponsible.
- 1:30:25 I wanted to be a big shot.
- 1:30:28 I couldn't work for anybody. I had to be my own boss, that sort of thing.
- 1:30:36 Now here I am standing in front of a judge pleading for just a little longer so that I can prove to you I can support a little child that doesn't weigh quite 20 pounds.
- 1:30:49 It's not only for my wife and me I'm asking you to let us keep her judges. It's for her sake, too.
- 1:30:55 She doesn't know any parents but us. She wouldn't know what had happened to her.
- 1:30:59 You see, there's so many little things about her, and nobody would understand her the way Julie and I do.
- 1:31:05 We love her, Judge.
- 1:31:07 Please don't take her away from us.
- 1:31:12 Look, I'm not a big shot now, huh?
- 1:31:14 I'll do anything. I'll work for anybody.
- 1:31:17 A bank, a borrower.
- 1:31:20 Please, Judge, I'll... I'll send anything I've got until I get going again.
- 1:31:25 She'll never go hungry, she'll never be without clothes, not as long as I've got two good hands that help me.
- 1:32:00 - Come on.
- 1:32:50 She's yours, dear.
- 1:32:55 Oh, no, forever.
- 1:32:57 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 1:33:01 Oh, Trina.
- 1:33:05 Nothing could ever take her from us now.
- 1:33:37 You better hurry up, Daddy. Mommy will be home any minute now.
- 1:33:41 Well, look, dear, you go and watch for her. Let me know when she comes, huh?
- 1:33:49 How's it getting along, Applejack? Ain't she a beauty? Hmm.
- 1:33:55 What do you think she can't? But now? Well, let's get the presents, quick.
- 1:34:01 Pull. Here she comes. We'll get them there.
- 1:34:26 Where is everybody?
- 1:34:29 Trina!
- 1:34:33 Trina? Where can everybody be this time today?
- 1:34:38 Surprise!
- 1:34:49 This is from Daddy.
- 1:34:51 Daddy.
- 1:34:57 Roger.
- 1:34:59 I always wanted one like that.
- 1:35:04 Darling, look after... - I'm glad you like it, darling.
- 1:35:08 And this is from Uncle Applejack.
- 1:35:11 Apple jazz? Oh, I think I can guess what this is.
- 1:35:17 I got you.
- 1:35:21 It's beautiful, Alcatraz. I always figure a person can't have...
- 1:35:25 Too many handkerchiefs.
- 1:35:31 And this is from me. From you.
- 1:35:35 Well, I can imagine what this is.
- 1:35:39 - I'm going to...
- 1:35:42 I got you a record.
- 1:35:44 Because you love records.
- 1:35:46 And because you and Daddy love each other so much.
- 1:35:50 Oh, Trina, that's sweet, darling. Thank you. Come on, let's play. See how it goes.
- 1:36:01 Dinner's ready. Come and get it or I'll throw it in the creek.
- 1:36:03 Oh, isn't it wonderful?
- 1:36:06 Dinner in my own home and I didn't have to cook it.
- 1:36:13 Well...
- 1:36:16 Wow!
- 1:36:31 Well, we sure changed the complexion of that bird. We said they did.
- 1:36:37 What did you do in school today, Darlene?
- 1:36:39 Boy, I almost forgot I was choose.
- 1:36:41 I'm going to be in the Christmas play.
- 1:36:46 In the Christmas plagues.
- 1:36:48 What are you going to do? I'm going to sing in the carols.
- 1:36:52 Uh-huh. But, Trina, that's wonderful.
- 1:36:54 It'll be fun making you a carolist costume.
- 1:36:57 I don't need any costume. Nobody sees me.
- 1:37:00 Nobody sees you.
- 1:37:02 I have to wear a clean dress and some sneakers.
- 1:37:05 I'm the echo.
- 1:37:07 I'm way off behind the scenes.
- 1:37:10 You only hear my voice.
- 1:37:12 Miss Hopkins says it gives a faraway sound.
- 1:37:16 Like angels in heaven.
- 1:37:18 Well, why do you have to wear the sneakers?
- 1:37:20 the sneakers you saw, I'll be quiet.
- 1:37:22 I have to walk up in the sky behind a cloud.
- 1:37:25 Then take a big star with me.
- 1:37:27 Then when I get over the manger, I stop.
- 1:37:30 And then the angel sings.
- 1:37:31 And when my turn comes, I sing the echo.
- 1:37:34 Then I sneak off quietly.
- 1:37:36 And next year when I'm big...
- 1:37:39 I get to be an angel and wear an angel suit.
- 1:37:43 I'll get seen then.
- 1:37:47 Of course you'll get seen then, darling.
- 1:37:51 Is it a long time until next year, Daddy?
- 1:37:54 Oh, no, darling. He'll be here in no time at all.
- 1:38:10 Oh, I forgot.
- 1:38:12 Oh, my. What happened to the lights? Shh.
- 1:38:15 - Can you see the lights for us?
- 1:38:17 Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you.
- 1:38:24 Happy birthday, dear mommy.
- 1:38:27 Happy birthday to you.
- 1:38:38 Hurry up, Mommy. I'll park the car. All right. See you around front. Come on.
- 1:38:48 Silent night.
- 1:38:53 Holy night, all is calm, all is dying.
- 1:39:07 Down yon virgin, mother and child
- 1:39:17 Oh, the ears that so tender and mild
- 1:39:37 Sweeping in heaven we see.
- 1:39:47 Silent night
- 1:39:53 *Burps*
- 1:39:58 Sure.
- 1:40:00 Earthquake
- 1:40:03 *Loud noise*
- 1:40:08 Glory is free from heaven afar.
- 1:40:28 Christ the Savior is born.
- 1:40:39 Christ the Savior is born.
- 1:40:52 Silent night
- 1:40:57 Holy night.
- 1:41:02 Shepard's Waste
- 1:41:07 And the stars
- 1:41:13 Glory streams from heaven afar
- 1:41:23 Heavenly hosts sing alleluia
- 1:41:30 God bless you.
- 1:41:32 Christ the Savior is born.
- 1:41:43 Christ the Savior is holy.
- 1:42:16 I spoiled everything. Now Miss Hopkins won't let me be an angel next year.
- 1:42:23 - Yes, you will, darling. - Certainly.
- 1:42:25 Yes, I was talking to her.
- 1:42:27 She said you did fine.
- 1:42:29 Sure. Well, you were better than all the rest of them put together.
- 1:42:32 See?
- 1:42:34 Honestly?
- 1:42:35 Honest.
- 1:42:41 See, I don't know what people do without Christmas. Oh, I don't know what we do without you, honey.
- 1:43:08 I'm going to go.
- 1:43:15 Amen.
- 1:43:22 Amen.
- 1:43:31 Amen.
- 1:44:21 I'm going to go.
- 1:44:53 I'm sorry.
- 1:46:25 Will you please stop that door from banging?
- 1:47:00 I wish you wouldn't go out.
- 1:47:05 I've got to get out of here and get some fresh air.
- 1:47:11 Isn't that someone downstairs?
- 1:47:19 Someone at the front door.
- 1:47:25 Amen.
- 1:47:28 So
- 1:47:38 May I use your phone, please? Our car is stalled, and I'd like to call a taxi. It's right here on the desk of the building. That's what I want you to think.
- 1:47:48 I saw your light burning and we're in such a hurry.
- 1:48:05 Cavs are always busy on a night like this.
- 1:48:11 I do hope we can get one. Tommy's in the Christmas play.
- 1:48:21 I hope we don't get late, Mommy.
- 1:48:28 Our car's right out in front.
- 1:48:30 I'll drive you off if you like.
- 1:48:32 Oh, that's very kind of you. If it wouldn't be too much trouble. It's not too much trouble.
- 1:48:37 Come.
- 1:48:42 You can't start the car, the battery is dead.
- 1:48:44 I have to crank it.
- 1:49:07 I do hope we're not late, Mawa.
- 1:49:31 Let's get out of here.
- 1:49:46 No, Jerry.
- 1:49:49 I'm going to go.
- 1:49:57 I'm sorry.
- 1:50:02 What's the matter?
- 1:50:10 Take the car, I'm home.
- 1:50:17 Roger.
- 1:50:18 I'm not coming home. I don't ever want to see anything or anyone that reminds me.
- 1:50:26 All right.
- 1:50:37 - Hey, sir.
- 1:50:41 Roll the lane together
- 1:50:46 Laugh at the rain together Sang love's refrain together
- 1:51:00 We'll always be together.
- 1:51:32 You were meant for me.
- 1:51:41 I was meant for you
- 1:51:49 Nature patterned you and when she was done
- 1:51:56 You were all the sweet things
- 1:52:03 Those fool songs kind of take you back, don't they?
- 1:52:08 Yes, they do take you back.
- 1:52:11 Did you decide which ones you're gonna keep and which ones you're gonna leave for him?
- 1:52:17 Funny, Applejack.
- 1:52:21 I can't seem to divide them.
- 1:52:24 They belong to both of us.
- 1:52:29 Guess I'll just leave them.
- 1:52:34 While I was listening downstairs there,
- 1:52:37 I could remember just as clear the first time I ever saw you.
- 1:52:41 Roger brought you into the bulletin and...
- 1:52:44 I was cussing and pounding that old machine.
- 1:52:48 Gee, you didn't know he was all going to get to know each other, so Al then did he?
- 1:52:53 Would you get the rest of the things out of the bedroom for me, please?
- 1:53:29 I don't blame you, Julie.
- 1:53:33 I don't blame you at all. You should leave me.
- 1:53:40 Why did you say it, honey? It's all true.
- 1:53:44 I haven't done any one of the big things I plan to do for you.
- 1:53:48 Right where we started.
- 1:53:50 Still struggling.
- 1:53:53 I've let you down all around, honey.
- 1:53:59 Well, all I needed to make it 100% was for you to leave me.
- 1:54:03 And I can't think of a reason in the world for you not to.
- 1:54:08 Unlicked, Julie.
- 1:54:11 You're not lectured, Roger.
- 1:54:13 It's just us.
- 1:54:15 We're licked as far as our being together is concerned.
- 1:54:20 When something really came along that hit us hard enough, we...
- 1:54:24 Couldn't face it together.
- 1:54:34 I needed you an awful lot these last few days.
- 1:54:38 But you've been miles away.
- 1:54:41 I've been entirely alone.
- 1:54:44 Right here in this room with you.
- 1:54:46 I know, dear.
- 1:55:04 I wish I could do something to help you two.
- 1:55:09 It just hasn't worked out.
- 1:55:17 God did work on Tilly.
- 1:55:21 Things were wonderful until this happened to us.
- 1:55:24 I don't know.
- 1:55:26 Just Henry...
- 1:55:28 I just haven't been able to think straight the last few days.
- 1:55:32 She was never sick before, then...
- 1:55:34 Then all of a sudden it was all over.
- 1:55:38 There was only some way that people could know a few days ahead what was going to happen.
- 1:55:42 Yeah.
- 1:55:45 The day before she was taken sick, she asked me for a quarter, and I wouldn't let her have it.
- 1:55:50 She asked me to take her to the movies and I said, "No, run along. I'm too busy."
- 1:55:54 I know.
- 1:55:56 It was the same with me.
- 1:55:58 I was trying on her angel costume and...
- 1:56:02 Yes.
- 1:56:02 She was so excited she couldn't stand still.
- 1:56:04 - Yeah.
- 1:56:05 I scolded her.
- 1:56:07 I said,
- 1:56:09 I'll never try another dress on you again.
- 1:56:14 I never did.
- 1:56:26 Yeah.
- 1:56:32 Hello.
- 1:56:34 Miss Oliver?
- 1:56:44 It's a very strange thing, Mrs. Adams.
- 1:56:47 But we have a little boy who is just two years old
- 1:56:57 Yeah.
- 1:56:58 Well, it's the oddest thing.
- 1:57:01 He's the exact image of the youngster you asked for when you first wrote to me.
- 1:57:06 You remember?
- 1:57:09 I have that order.
- 1:57:10 letter here in front of me.
- 1:57:14 Turn it here.
- 1:57:15 Blue eyes.
- 1:57:17 Dimple.
- 1:57:20 This is strictly off the record. For really.
- 1:57:24 Another couple has the right to see him first.
- 1:57:27 But he's such a remarkable baby that
- 1:57:31 I thought perhaps you would
- 1:57:32 Adams'
- 1:57:42 I'm with Oliver.
- 1:57:44 Please don't let that other couple see him until we do well.
