1:12 Ahoy! Ahoy there, Bill Peck! Ahoy, Cappy!
1:24 Anybody else know him back? No. As far as the family's concerned, you're not too back for two weeks yet. Good. Hey, I thought maybe he'd fly back on the China Clippers. Aha! I don't want nothing between me and the water except in that good Charlotte Keel. Come on, let's go. All right.
1:39 Oh, my God.
1:46 Same old house, huh? Yeah, it's the same from the outside, anyhow. See you tomorrow?
1:51 You'll see me sooner than that.
1:53 So long.
2:06 Is the rich home? Yes, sir. Are you expecting? Expectant? Why, the pink-toed prophet doesn't look that way.
2:13 What stupid landlubber's idea are all these trick decorations?
2:21 Oh, my God.
2:25 Kathy!
2:27 Crisis.
2:29 That's a new old story!
2:31 Why you look very near younger!
2:33 You look wonderful. We didn't expect you for weeks.
2:37 I should have come home a lot sooner. I can see that.
2:39 Kathy, you are so shaker.
2:43 No, one of the friends.
2:54 It's been such a task.
2:55 The house was so undisciplined I simply had to do the service all over.
2:59 Servants?

3:02 Where's Maggie Brown?
3:04 Maggie Brown. My cook. Oh, why, she resigned, didn't she, Maggie? She couldn't take it.
3:12 Far be it from me to hurt the wife of my late partner.
3:15 But Mrs. Peasley, for three years I've withheld any comment about my daughter's marriage to your son.
3:20 But you remember this.
3:22 You're his mother and not mine.
3:24 Of course. What a sense of humor. Kathy, you've just time to vest.
3:30 We'll manage to squeeze you into dinner somehow. Frank, be a darling and help your father. Oh, dear.
3:36 Take Mr. Rick's hat.
3:39 And this coat...
3:41 And his cigar.
3:48 Clear the deck, you lily-livered swab!
3:52 Now let's get to the bottom of this.
3:54 You can't dig that deep before dinner, darling.
3:57 There's been so many changes, it'll be better if you took them in very small doses. I'll take nothing. Who allowed her on the bridge of the ship, anyway? Allowed?
4:04 Ha!
4:04 She dropped in for a weekend about a year ago. A year ago?
4:08 Or does it just seem that long?
4:09 Oh! Who's coming to dinner? The bottom.
4:14 Waldo P. Bartomee, the gadget peddler? Now, wait a minute, Dad. All that has to change. Have you met Waldo Jr.? No, and if he's anything like Senior, don't want to meet him. All right. If you want to go through life without speaking to your son-in-law. Son-in-law? Young Bartomee!
4:29 What about you and Bill Pest?
4:31 Don't mention that stubborn mule to me. Have you broken off with Bill? Months ago. He's too bossy.
4:36 Almost as bad as you. Or you.
4:40 You are no pee bottoming.
4:43 For 20 years I've been keeping that old barnacle scraped off from my house.
4:47 Now he's got a grip on the stern.
4:58 Am I seeing things or something? Not at all.
5:01 It's got an automatic door and it works with a photoelectric cell or whatever you call it. Oh, a bodily product, eh? Oh.
5:09 Come on.
5:12 Well, I know one bottomly product that's not going to get into my family if I have anything to say about it.
5:19 The fine homecoming.
5:30 I can't be with Frankie and Junior about to be married.
5:32 I propose that we bury the hatchet.
5:34 That might not be so easy.
5:36 Nonsense, nonsense.
5:37 You'll save yourself a lot of trouble if you come around to my way of thinking.
5:41 What?
5:42 Tell them about the yacht there. You must have read about it, Cappy.
5:45 The paper's called the Bottomley's Green Book.
5:48 Going in the yachts.
5:49 No, no. Now, don't worry about any competition.
5:52 It's just a little thing I got the youngsters for a wedding breakfast.
5:54 For a honeymoon trip.
5:55 What kind?
5:56 A schooner type, 75 footer.
5:58 Just too cute for words.
6:02 But leave you think, Kathy.
6:04 All chromium finish.
6:06 Where do you see it, Kathy? It's wonderful. All you do is push a button and things happen.
6:11 What about the crew?
6:13 Well, that's just the point.
6:14 The rest of the crew.
6:15 Labor-saving devices by Bottomley Automatic Products Corporation.
6:19 Progress, Kathy. Progress.
6:21 No crew, huh?
6:22 Check push buttons.
6:23 Well, what happens if one of them gadgets gets out of whack, huh?
6:26 things happen.
6:28 Peasley just told us.
6:29 You're not going to see on any floating switchboard.
6:32 I will if I want to, if I want to.
6:36 I'd like to see anyone try and stop me.
6:38 Remember, Kathy.
6:40 You came home for peace and quiet. Quiet.
6:44 I'm telling you, my daughter's not going on that contraption.
6:47 You don't know it, but times are passing you by, you old-fashioned granny.
6:54 Why step outside you spineless jellyfish and I'll give you something old-fashioned right on the end of your snoot. Now I'll bet. What a fine mess you've made of things while I'm gone. Turning the house into a nightmare.
7:06 And do you know when the weekend's over?
7:08 And you!
7:09 You practically ruined the business with your bottomly conveyors.
7:13 Automatically automatic envelope openers.
7:15 Bottomly everything. I felt it my duty as general manager. Manager? Why, you're no longer even able to manage the postage stamps. Seems your fame is spreading, Matthew, my dear. Yes.
7:26 And you, climb down off of that English accent. I'll get to you in a minute.
7:29 Where were you when this was going on? I resigned.
7:32 Nobody resigns from me. I fire them.
7:36 You weren't satisfied at getting your gadgets into my business.
7:40 But you're trying to get this engine into my house.
7:43 Ah, you have all become slovenly and shipless.
7:47 And by and by the machine he's going out of whack.
7:49 And then you'll wish you knew how to use your hands and your heads.
7:53 You addle-brained bunch of button pushers!
7:56 Come on, Bill. Let's get some fresh air. Can't you, Ricks? Yes.
7:59 You sit down there and listen to me.
8:02 I'll do nothing that I can't. Now you listen to me.
8:05 You're all Mr. Bothamy safe.
8:06 Old fashioned behind the times antiquated.
8:09 Now, see here. I got it.
8:11 You've been saying, my business this and my business that. It may interest you to know it isn't your business.
8:16 Not anymore.
8:17 What?
8:18 Uh...
8:19 Do you want to tell him, or shall I? Well, I... We, that is...
8:23 Mr. Bottomley and myself. What of old Mr. Ford's interest?
8:26 And that gives us 51% of the business.
8:29 In other words, Kathy, we control it.
8:32 And now can I ask what you intend to do with it? Oh, that's quite simple. We intend to merger with...
8:39 properly incorporated.
8:40 Over my dead body, you will.
8:45 Come on, Bill. I've got to go with this peace and quiet. I've got to figure this mess out.
8:49 You're going to try to tell me you can't run my business or my family anymore, huh? I don't have to tell you. Mrs. Peasley owns 51% of the business, and she'll go through with that merger just as you can. Don't you ask, Mrs. Peasley?
9:00 Well, that's your business. Now, what about your family?
9:03 I'll fix them, too, every last one of them. How? You can't do anything with Matt. He's under his mother's thumb. And you can't keep Ellen from getting a divorce.
9:10 and you try to tell Frankie what to do and you just try.
9:14 Why, you pinheaded young swath...
9:17 Ain't nothing the matter with Matt and them girls. They just got slob, that's all.
9:22 If they're surrounded. It's Mrs. Peasley. Right.
9:26 She ain't altogether to blame either.
9:27 Waterman is at the bottom of this.
9:29 Bill Peck, I'll bet you $5,000 I can clean up this mess, family and business, inside of three months. And that goes for Mrs. Peasley, too.
9:40 Well?
9:41 What about it?
9:43 It's a bad.
9:44 You'll do it, Bill.
9:45 Wait.
9:46 Oh, now, wait a minute. You mean I've got to help you make me lose my best?
9:50 Oh, well, you know already, huh?
9:53 Well, I might have known it before.
9:55 All right, all right. What's your plan?
9:58 Young Cloudy.
10:00 I can't take the business away from Mrs. Peasley.
10:02 But I can take Mrs. Peasley away from the business before I lose it.
10:06 Why, in a week's time, I'll have that old hen eaten out of my hand. And that'll be a break for Ellen, too.
10:10 And as for Frankie...
10:12 And that pussy will a son of a button.
10:22 Lend a hand with the luggage there.
10:31 Seems like a dirty trick with the elector all ready for our maiden voyage.
10:34 I know Waldo. But Kathy's going away on another long trip next Monday. And we simply have to humor him his last weekend with us. Here, darling, let me help you. Don't you, darling, meet me?
10:46 I'm only doing this for Kathy. Next Monday, I'm going ahead with my plan. Ellen, how can you hold such a fault? Bye-bye, Waldo. Give your dear father my love and tell him I'll be back on Monday to sign the merger papers. Ellen, you are not really going... Next Monday, I'm going to Reno. I'm sick and tired of you and your mother. Oh, stop all doings.
11:03 Bad enough to spend two days on this old wash tub. Wash tub? To Gloria Ricks?
11:08 Why, let me tell you, young lady, she's the finest, dirtiest sailing craft this side of... Paradise, I know. But wait until you see the electric. Ah, a toy for a child to play with in the bath.
11:18 Well, let's not waste any more time.
11:21 Tide's just about right. There's a fine sailing breeze right outside the breakwater.
11:39 Breathe deep, Matt. You'll get over it.
11:42 I'll never get over. Not on this cruise anyway.
11:46 I still say you'll get over it.
11:53 Oh!
11:56 Oh, it's you!
11:57 Now, don't worry.
11:58 I don't like this any more than you do.
12:01 One of them.
12:01 Cap is lesser idea.
12:02 Come on, get off the ropes. Off the ropes!
12:05 Very graceful, my dear.
12:07 But I must say it looked pretty obvious.
12:09 It looked real accidental to me.
12:11 I understand anything to
12:12 date.
12:13 Go ahead, enjoy yourself.
12:15 Maybe I shall.
12:17 He's very effective.
12:18 - Tell us, hands and off.
12:22 Don't look now, Kathy, but look!
12:29 Oh, the sea, the sea, the beautiful sea. I feel so strong and reckless.
12:35 Is this air air-bating? You mean in... Vigorating, Mother? And the motion of hope is really an exercise. I'm starving. When do we... Chow? Or is it mess?
12:50 Amen.
12:52 Take the wheel.
12:57 Think he can stand it?
13:00 Like the full shore and call a bed off now.
13:03 I always knew I was going to. I could go on sailing forever and ever. Lady, if you only knew.
13:26 Good morning. Good morning.
13:29 - You too butter, eh? - Yes, Miss, with noodles.
13:32 Oh, gosh, what a font. Reminds me of London.
13:35 Oh, dear, please, let's be sensible. I don't think we'll ever get in. Aren't we in thought yet?
13:40 We'll be in dock in an hour. I can tell by the groundswell we're inside the Golden Gate, thank heaven. I do hope the bottomlies will be at the dock to lead us. Oh, Stuart, stop messing about like that and take these things out all the day.
13:50 It's kind of damp to dry outside, miss. You'd better wait until the sun comes out. Don't be idiotic, Stuart. Take the luggage, will you?
13:56 I'll call the mate. That's right. Give the mating call.
14:01 Go up on deck and see if you find out when we get in. Good morning. Good morning everybody.
14:08 Will you say that our bags are put upon death, please?
14:10 Why?
14:11 Why does anyone want the language put out on there?
14:13 When a cruise is over, isn't it customary to have the luggage put on deck?
14:17 for Duffy.
14:18 Oh, I see. You don't want to waste any time getting ashore. That's right.
14:22 Well, how about an hour before we land? Is it good enough?
14:25 Will we be late? Your luggage will be on deck an hour before we land.
14:29 When will that be?
14:30 Well, to be conservative, I should say, with favorable trade winds and barring bad weather,
14:35 we should be able to dock in about eight weeks
14:39 What?
14:39 Hey, wait!
14:41 Oh!
14:48 Walks melting fast. Looks like fine sailing up ahead. Yeah, sir.
14:52 It's too soon, I guess. Looks like a storm brewing.
14:58 Where are we? No, why? This is an outrage. I demand that you turn back.
15:02 Still demanding, huh?
15:03 Well, we're 400 miles offshore, and I'm not turning back. But you must be.
15:08 I don't want any more sailing. What about the bottomless? What about the virgin?
15:11 Bottomly, he's the merger.
15:13 That's your idea.
15:14 Let me inform you, madam, you're not in my house now.
15:18 You're aboard my ship.
15:19 And I'm bought here.
15:21 Oh, I'm going to have an attack of vertigo. Well, have it below deck.
15:26 Did anyone ever tell you I was going to Reno today?
15:29 I ain't got a long swim ahead of you.
15:31 Now, Kathy, fun's fun, but I... I'm having it.
15:35 Think of the Rick's Navigation Company. I am thinking of it.
15:39 Did you think you could push a bottomly button and run my business?
15:43 Why, if you had any sense, all of you, you'd see we're running short-handed on this trip.
15:47 And that's for a purpose.
15:49 I'm gonna work some of the bottomless push-button influence out of your system.
15:54 First mate Peck here will assign you your job.
15:57 Matt regular crew sailing back. Ellen cabin stewardess.
16:01 Frankie Dining Salon and you, Mrs. Peasley, will be in charge of laundry and dishes.
16:09 Suppose we refuse.
16:11 That's mutiny.
16:11 You used force to put that down.
16:13 Boss?
16:14 Don't forget.
16:15 There's still passive resistance.
16:17 You'll get no satisfaction out of me, you big bully.
16:23 uh... always a minute young lady i will if you promise not to jump on our planning uh... always a minute young lady
16:38 I promise nothing. No, no. It's strikes down there, you know.
16:42 Jack's up here too.
16:44 Take this postcard off of me. Not yet.
16:46 Have a good mind to let you wear it for the rest of that trip like a necklace. But I tell you, Captain.
16:50 He's not responsible. I'll give you $500 if you put back to port.
16:54 Don't you see? Cap is getting old. He's lost his mind.
16:58 That's still milking.
17:00 Captain Lennon.
17:01 If anybody attempts to coerce the clue, you'll get my order, Stroman Iron. All right, sir.
17:05 I'll have no more nonsense from you. Get me a jar.
17:42 Oh, no, I'm dying.
18:12 and a site in the bush hills I'll saying that for a month we've been doing the work of six men
18:21 It's just a waste of time. I tell you, Cappy, they're hopeless. Oh, I've been giving them rope. Yeah, they've been stringing us up with it. Why don't you forget about it and give me it?
18:28 Copy.
18:29 Everything ready? Yes, sir. Get going. You'll get your orders. Yes, sir.
18:33 Give in. Why, I just have started.
18:36 Why are we anchored so close to this frightful island?
18:39 Those cannibals came out and murdered us. The island is uninhabited.
18:44 that won't stop the camera.
18:45 Mother, when an island is uninhabited, that includes cannibals too. That's what I said.
18:56 Well?
18:57 The crew has been a failure.
19:00 Eight weeks to find that out.
19:02 I thought if we shook off civilization for a while, I...
19:06 You might toughen up a bit and come to your senses.
19:09 See, I was wrong.
19:11 You can't change human nature. And it's taken you 60 years to find that out, too.
19:15 I wanted to learn
19:18 You can all relax.
19:21 You win.
19:24 I love you anyway, darling.
19:26 Suppose you are a little slow on the empty.
19:29 No, that's perfect.
19:30 When did we start home?
19:32 In the morning. It's about time you came to what sentence you have.
19:36 I'm really grateful.
19:38 All right, man.
20:00 And. Oh they'll be all right now. You are taking it down. Just wait.
20:34 Oh, oh, this should have to be a waste of the sea at my age.
20:41 Can you see anything? No.
20:44 What about Captain Ladding and the steward?
20:46 Oh, they'll come in in the other door. It's only five miles offshore. What will we do?
20:51 Do the best we can. We'll find the highest point on the island and build a fire. Don't worry. We'll attract the attention of some passing ships. Put the garland at 300 miles off any ship lake. You said so yourself. I know it. Well.
21:04 We might be marooned here forever. How are we going to live?
21:08 Don't worry, we'll get along.
21:09 Mom!
21:11 Food! We're saved! We're saved! Captain, you're wonderful. I always believe in being prepared. What's the use in getting in a lifeboat and then starving to death?
21:20 I mean,
21:20 We may be stuck here indefinitely.
21:26 You have that?
21:28 Just one big happy family. Happy, how deliciously thoughtful. Everything to stop housekeeping.
21:35 Reminds me of when I was first married. What a memory. All this heavenly...
21:40 I'm going to go.
21:51 Not attending, is it?
21:54 Braddock speaking.
21:55 Data report to C.R.
21:57 Steady breeze. 11 knots. 145 degrees. 13 minutes. 18 seconds north.
22:02 300 miles south by southeast of Hawaii.
22:06 They'll be in court in less than a month.
22:08 You better tell the family.
22:09 It's going to be much worse when they find out for themselves.
22:11 They never will. How are you going to explain to Gloria Ricks?
22:14 Are you going to be dismantled?
22:16 About a month, one of my ships will pick us up.
22:18 Lanning will be aboard with the alibi.
22:20 Gloria Rex lost its seat. He and the steward picked up by a passing ship. That's simple enough. Yeah, but it doesn't help me.
22:26 After the heroic way, we abandoned the glory of Rick's.
22:29 Oh, well, you suppose I stand in with Frankie?
22:31 Well, what do you care? You're not in love with her. Who says I'm not? You said so a dozen times. Said she was useless.
22:38 Careful of this tropic atmosphere, my lad. It's balmy down here.
22:42 Well, things won't be so balmy when I tell her the truth about the Gloria Rick's.
22:45 Now, don't forget your promise, Bill. Oh, you got me all tied down with promises.
22:58 I don't mind you doing my share of the work.
23:01 But those two lazy monsters might help. Help!
23:05 They expect you to be grateful to them. For what? Allowing us to breathe?
23:09 We clean, cook, wash their clothes, and they live in luxury.
23:13 while we sleep like monkeys in the trees.
23:17 Well, there's no law against building yourself a house. And no time either.
23:21 poor Mac wants to.
23:23 But we're going to starve. That's their mark, okay?
23:26 That's Bill's motto.
23:27 He's not masterful.
23:31 There are you.
23:34 I
23:36 Matt.
23:37 Say something.
23:38 Hello.
23:39 Poor Matthew.
23:40 Are you exhausted?
23:42 Yes, and I'm full of blisters, too.
23:44 I have all the dirty work to do while Bill and Kathy go fishing.
23:48 Why don't they build us a house?
23:49 I'll do the fishing.
23:51 You get seasick if you look at the water.
23:53 Who elected Bill head of this outfit anyway?
23:56 Ellen.
23:57 You're so obvious, my dear.
23:59 You should talk.
24:00 Bill Peck means nothing to me, no matter how many fish he catches.
24:04 Why, he was the last available man on Earth. He is for you. Poor Frankie.
24:09 Tore between the devil and the desert island. Now, my dear, don't let this temporary tragedy lead you into doing anything hasty.
24:15 Just hold a strong thought on, Waldo.
24:17 And it'll come true. Don't weaken, my dear. Just because Billy's so good-looking and masterful.
24:22 I see.
24:24 That's the reason you're warning me against it, is...
24:29 Right?
24:30 Well, I don't trust her.
24:45 Hello, Frankie.
24:57 Can I help? I can manage.
25:06 Where did you learn that? The British West Indies?
25:11 All right.
25:23 Hi there, Frankie.
25:25 Remember, you're a long way from Reno.
25:43 Dear.
25:44 fish and eggs and eggs and fish. You'd like caviar.
25:48 That takes a
25:49 Fishing what?
25:50 I'm just dying for some dessert.
25:52 for change.
25:53 Grape Susetti's, for instance.
25:56 Ah! Ah!
26:02 And what do you think you've got there, Mother? He's safe.
26:04 Peaches, if you must know. What makes you so sure it isn't hash?
26:10 I know, Peaches.
26:11 They gurgled.
26:12 Don't gurgle, they switch.
26:14 Well, there's only one way to find out.
26:16 Here.
26:24 I'm going to go.
26:32 He got them off the Christmas.
26:33 Morning.
26:35 stolen, no doubt.
26:36 No, I climbed up and tossed them down to Ellis.
26:38 Yes, we had so much fun. I imagine.
26:50 What's the matter with the eggs?
26:52 I prefer the fish. The eggs taste too fishy.
26:57 What do you expect seabirds' eggs to taste like, milk and honey? I was merely voicing my preference.
27:03 Is there any objections?
27:05 Well I think I'll hike up to the cliff like the second fire back.
27:08 Did you chop plenty of wood?
27:09 Yes, I worked.
27:11 this afternoon.
27:12 I can stand to walk, I'll go along with you. Oh, I'll go with it.
27:15 You turn to do the dishes. You can't get out of there. Well...
27:18 I think I'll strike the hate.
27:20 As the work.
27:32 I've got a surprise for you. You couldn't surprise me.
27:35 Oh, I don't know about that.
27:36 Wait till you see.
27:38 I'm not interested.
27:39 Here.
27:40 Darling, you know I'm mad about you. I'd do anything for you.
27:43 Anything.
27:44 You would?
27:45 Anything, darling.
27:46 Then go punch your mother right on the nose.
27:50 Ellen, how could you?
27:58 What's bothering you, Frankie?
28:01 Oh.
28:02 Nothing?
28:04 You look mighty unhappy to me.
28:06 I'm not unhappy.
28:07 Can't a girl have a little peace and quiet to think about things? Oh, sure.
28:12 I didn't mean to butt in.
28:14 Oh, I'm sorry, Kathy.
28:17 Do you think there's any chance of us ever getting away from this place?
28:21 We can hope.
28:23 Now, Kathy, you can't hope yourself off of an island.
28:27 Suppose we're stuck here for the rest of our lives. What then?
28:31 I don't know. Well, I mean, of course we've dropped most of the conventions of...
28:36 civilization, but... You missed it? Well, no, it isn't that, but...
28:41 Well, there's something that you just can't drop.
28:45 Like what?
28:46 Well...
28:48 Well, how are the Dickens going to go get married in a place like this?
28:58 How funny.
28:59 Frankie!
29:00 she wants to get married.
29:02 Married.
29:03 Oh, yes.
29:04 Fine thing. She and Bill. No, no. Congratulations. No, no.
29:08 You can't rush into a thing like that.
29:10 What is there to wait for? Oh, you've got to give it some thought. You've got to think about it. I've been doing nothing but thinking lately.
29:19 Well, it's high time both she and Bill settled down.
29:22 What did Bill say about it?
29:24 Bill!
29:25 Well, I hadn't mentioned it to him.
29:39 May I help you?
29:52 What are you doing up here? Well, you see, I've been thinking. Huh. Patient on the road to recovery. Uh-huh.
29:59 from the old
30:01 May I talk seriously to you for a minute? I don't know. Can you?
30:06 Oh, come on, sit down.
30:12 Bill, suppose we never rescue you.
30:15 Well, we will be.
30:16 But even if we want, there's worse places in the world than this.
30:19 Don't you ever think about getting home?
30:21 Why think about it?
30:22 All right.
30:24 Let's take a break.
30:25 Right here.
30:26 Are you satisfied to do nothing but fish and steal eggs for the rest of your lives?
30:31 What else is there to do?
30:36 them.
30:37 We were engaged to be married once.
30:39 Remember? Sure, and you...
30:41 I know.
30:42 It was all my fault.
30:45 Remember the way you used to put your arms around me?
30:47 That's the first thing I remember to forget.
30:53 - There.
30:54 Like that.
30:56 You know,
30:57 You're coming up here every night and starting that far is a joke.
31:00 Why? What makes you think that? Oh, we're way off the ship length.
31:03 - We'll never be seen. - Well, suppose, uh...
31:06 All right.
31:08 Let's wait the rest of our lives and suppose.
31:11 Aren't you ashamed of yourself?
31:14 making me propose?
31:19 Frankie!
31:33 Now you let me tell you something, young lady.
31:35 It was your fault we called it off in San Francisco. If we ever get back there again, it's liable to be the same thing. Well, rather than that...
31:43 Let's forget him, my friend.
31:44 because you love me.
31:45 Yes.
31:46 And there's another reason why we've got to wait. Nothing can be that important. Well, it is, though.
31:52 We couldn't get married even if we wanted to.
31:54 But we want to, and we can.
32:15 Breakfast smells good.
32:17 Gee, what are you celebrating?
32:19 Mmm!
32:20 William, I don't know whether it's your cooking or my appetite, but every day I seem to eat more and more.
32:26 You don't seem to show it, Mrs. Beasley. Thank you, William.
32:29 I was kind of late last night, wouldn't you? Uh-huh.
32:31 Where's Frankie? Down to the beach, taking a swim? Yeah.
32:34 What's the occasion? Somebody have any birthdays?
32:39 Good morning.
32:40 Let's eat.
32:42 It's all anybody seems to think about these days.
32:45 Oh, I don't know about that.
32:47 Now, what are you going to spring? What?
32:48 Well...
32:49 Last night, Bill and I decided to become man and wife.
32:52 What?
32:53 You mean you...
32:54 Why, it's scandalous.
32:55 No, that's putting it mildly. It's impossible.
32:58 Why is it?
32:59 Why? Why indeed?
33:00 You mean to sit here and plot the conventions and rather a nosy? What convention?
33:04 - Quiet.
33:05 It's immoral. That's all I've got to say.
33:08 What's tomorrow about getting married?
33:10 Married.
33:11 Oh.
33:12 But what about Waldo Buckley Jr.? Well, what about...
33:16 Now, there's no use arguing.
33:18 We've decided.
33:19 You mean you have? Well, I have...
33:22 You two callous groups won't protect this helpless girl. I will with my last breath.
33:26 Save your breath, Mrs. Peasley.
33:29 We are going to be married.
33:31 There isn't a minister. Not even a justice of the peace. Bill, you tell her. Captain's a licensed sea captain. But he isn't at sea. Well, he's the only one who isn't.
33:48 This is fine. I'll ship yours, my lad.
33:53 Stand up.
33:55 He's a quick walk in the boat.
33:58 This marriage might sound informal.
34:01 But that ain't going to prevent it from...
34:03 Chicken. It's going to be awful legal.
34:05 If it can't be any too legal for me...
34:08 And that's the way till after ceremony.
34:13 The wave knocked me off my balance.
34:16 Cappy's losing his sea leg. Cappy's losing his sea leg. Cut that out. Now we get down to business.
34:21 Bad day for Cappy. He's all going to leave him.
34:23 Stop it!
34:24 Sure you could do this without the book? Oh, I have tried dozens of them at sea in my time. I know the words by heart. Yes.
34:30 Stop shaking. You looked at the boat.
34:34 It's warming up.
34:36 Yeah, it's getting warm, then.
34:39 Oh, Kathy, get going.
34:41 Between the sun and the excitement, I'm afraid you'll faint.
34:43 Aye, aye, mate.
34:44 We are gathered here in this doorway today to join this happy couple in the holy bonds of matrimony.
34:51 Okay.
34:52 What's the matter with you?
34:53 I know you've never tried anything like this before.
34:55 That's right. Maybe we got a talk. We can do that after marriage.
35:01 Do you, William Peck, take this woman to be your lawful wedded wife, to love, honor, and provide for her so long as you shall live?
35:08 Uh,
35:09 Well, do you come on any minute now?
35:13 What's the matter with you, Bill? Do you or don't you? No, yes, I do, but I... Well, it's all right so far, then.
35:19 Do you, Frankie, uh, uh, French? Oh, yeah, French.
35:22 Do you, Francis Ricks, take this man to be your lawful wedded husband to love, honor, and cherish?
35:27 So long as you should live,
35:28 I--
35:29 That's what they all say.
35:37 And now, Abner and Ben will build the program for the good old hillbilly special. I guess you didn't know about this. We forgot to tell you. That isn't all you forgot to tell me. All right, come on, out with the proof. Why, Francis and Rhode Island, Bob. Don't do Francis mean so. That's the reason you came fishing at the same hour every day. You were in touch with someone. Sort of. Captain Lanning and the steward weren't lost. No. And it wasn't a real fire.
36:07 damage. So that's the reason you are so brave about it all. That's the reason you didn't find being here while we were frightened to death. You were laughing at her.
36:15 My hero. Robinson Crusoe, Jr. You were going through with the wedding. You tricked me. I didn't want to marry you in the first place. I told you so. You said you loved me. Well, I do love you, but I... You snake in the woodpile.
36:29 When are we going to be picked up? In about two weeks. Wait until Mrs. P. is here in about six.
36:37 This is station NLHY San Francisco.
36:40 we now bring you a half hour of dance music by Harry Brown and his singing swingsters.
36:44 Give up, Harry. Mind you, get them clean. You two have got a lot of dishwashing to make up for. Yeah, and a lot of wood chopping to do, too. Ain't something of a man out of him, the fool. Less talk, the more work you'll get done.
36:56 Just wait.
36:57 You wait until you get back to San Francisco. You two will be arrested at the dock. Not only did they kidnap us,
37:03 They'll get life at least for that.
37:05 for trapping this poor girl into marriage.
37:08 I wasn't married and I wasn't trapped.
37:11 You'll rule the day you had this idea, Mr. Cathy Rips.
37:16 You pipe down now, you old salamander, and let me tell you something.
37:20 When we came here two months ago, why, you were as silly and spineless a crew who'd ever call themselves human.
37:25 Why, you couldn't even lace your shoes, let alone do a day's work.
37:28 Well, now you can.
37:29 You'll get back safe enough and you'll be all the better off for the experience. All but you...
37:33 What I'll go through is the one drive alive. Why, you're more alive now than you ever were, you old battle act. How dare you talk to me like that?
37:42 The way you treated me. You saved me. This is just a generation.
37:47 You mean degradation, mother. Only you don't mean it.
37:50 Cup is right.
37:51 It's done us all a lot of good.
37:52 And I, for one, am great.
37:54 - Oh, Matthew! - Now, just a minute. Let me finish.
37:56 I mean every word I've said. And if you weren't so darn fast,
38:00 Selfish and...
38:02 Oh, my heart of...
38:04 Oh!
38:05 I'm going to think. Go ahead and...
38:07 Thanks. Thanks, man.
38:09 Poverty, nothing at all.
38:12 But every time I think of the way you made me chop that wood and carry it up that cliff. Oh, that was darling. Fun. Fun.
38:19 I like that. I die laughing every time I think how close I came to marrying that baboon.
38:26 Well, don't blame Bill. That was your idea, Frankie.
38:28 Yes, but why?
38:30 I thought, well,
38:32 What else was there to do?
38:34 We were really going to be stuck on this island. Oh sure just using me as a last chance.
38:39 Well, don't worry. You'll soon be back with Waldo, and you can renew your acquaintanceship with all the inmates of the nightclubs and traffic courts. Interrupt the program for a newsflash.
38:48 The doom of the Gloria Rich, stout little yacht of the noted Alden P. Cappy Ricks.
38:52 was read today in floating wreckage picked up from the storm-lashed waters of the Pacific.
38:56 Last heard from when 900 miles west of San Francisco,
38:59 The yacht with its eight humans aboard is believed to have gone down with all hands.
39:04 The ship owner's guests on the tragic cruise
39:06 where his two daughters, Helen and Frances,
39:08 Matthew Peasley and the latter's mother, Mrs. Amanda Peasley.
39:11 All Pacific shipping continued on the lookout in the slim hope
39:14 that some of the passengers and crew are still afloat
39:17 in the light.
39:22 Come on.
39:42 Oh, it's you. Yeah, how did you guess? Ellen?
39:46 You've been making a fool of yourself, and me too. And I've stood about all I'm going through. Stop it. You're hurting me. Come on. I've got something I want to show you. Suppose I refuse. Not a chance, my dear.
40:00 So I figured if we're going to have to be here together for the rest of our lives, we might as well make the best one.
40:05 We used to love each other, didn't we?
40:07 Yes.
40:07 That was before your mother. Now let's not go into that again. Look.
40:12 I built this all by myself. Resourceful, self-reliance, ingenuity. That's me. What a man. It's not bad at all.
40:20 Of course it's not.
40:22 Step in and look around, will you?
40:26 This is why I took so long to chop firewood. I know it's nothing pretentious, but it's home.
40:31 And this is where we're going to live from now on.
40:33 Oh, man. And another thing.
40:35 We're going to have a family.
40:37 What?
40:38 Oh, no. I'm not going to be tied down. Oh, just a minute. That's what you said in San Francisco.
40:43 But it doesn't apply here.
40:45 You no longer have any choice. You're crazy.
40:53 All this work
40:54 No, I'll have to rebuild it.
40:57 Never mind, darling.
40:58 You'll have me to help you.
41:05 Well, Cappy looks like you want your bet. All right.
41:08 But I'll probably have to pay off in coconuts.
41:11 How's that? Well, you set off to make your family self-reliant, didn't you?
41:14 You've done more than that. Matt and Ellen are a pair of lovebirds and...
41:19 Frankie and Mrs. Peasley are getting along like a couple of campfire girls.
41:22 Say, Bill, why don't you try reasoning with Frankie?
41:25 She doesn't even know the meaning of the word.
41:28 I guess you're right.
41:29 I'm just a meddling old man.
41:40 Where were you two last night? Home. Home?
41:43 Yeah, home. I felt it.
41:45 Right over the hill.
41:46 Please buy dropper sometime. Hey, how about my breakfast?
41:49 I'm tired of waiting for my food.
41:52 Yes, and I'm getting tired trying to please you people, too.
41:54 Now, we're all in this thing, and the least you can do is try to make the best of it.
41:58 He doesn't like our country. Why doesn't he go back where he came from?
42:01 I can try. Now, wait a minute.
42:03 I knew somebody would go crazy before long.
42:06 I don't know why I didn't think of it before. I'll get you people back to San Francisco. It's the last thing I ever do.
42:11 What time does the next ferry boat leave?
42:13 Never mind the wisecracks, Mrs. Waldo, Jr.
42:15 Now get this.
42:16 We're about 300 miles off the ship lanes.
42:18 Give me the dory with two-week provisions. I'll rig a sail out of that canvas, and I'll get help or else. Oh, Bill, that's suicide. The storm's about to start, and you wouldn't last five minutes if you got in one.
42:28 I'll take a chance.
42:30 I'll go with you. No, Matt, you mustn't.
42:33 I will.
42:34 I don't need any help.
42:35 Well, they can. At what?
42:41 We've been here this long. We can wait a couple of months longer until the danger of typhoons is over. Then I'll take a chance.
42:46 No, you won't. Since when have you been giving me orders? If Bill told you he had anything to do with getting into this mess, he's lying.
42:53 because whatever he did was done under my own. He was against it from the start, and if anybody gets out of here, it's going to be me. Look!
43:00 No!
43:01 Look! Look! It's the star-waves! We're saved! It's the electric!
43:19 It's the bottom. We're safe. We're safe. It's the bottom. It's all right. We're safe.
43:25 Babe, we're stonk.
43:36 I do it just as well as anything.
43:38 It's always holding the right thought.
43:40 Now the merger will look just as if I'd never been away.
43:43 There's no bopful of you to bring us clothing.
43:45 I usually think of everything.
43:46 I still don't understand how you found it. That was easy.
43:50 Rick's men were picked up by a fancy liner. They gave us directions when they arrived in San Francisco.
43:55 So it took you eight weeks to get down here on the Gloria Ridge, huh? Yes.
44:01 You there, swabbing.
44:05 We more careful not at a Rick's talk about you know.
44:11 Eight weeks, huh? Well, we make the trip home in three. We all live with you. What will science do next? Well, whatever it does, bottomly automatic products will handle it.
44:21 I'm surprised you haven't a lot of manic sweat washer.
44:28 Hey, look.
44:31 What do you want?
44:33 What time is it? Just as soon as it is. Four bells and all is well.
44:40 Hey, what's that? A bottomly product, sir. Mechanical watchman.
44:46 Someday somebody's gonna press a button once to walk around here.
44:49 Yeah, I think you're right, Kevin.
44:54 I'll have Bill Peck put away for 20 years.
45:00 Now that it's all over, Waldo.
45:02 It doesn't seem half so bad. It does to me. What would have happened if I hadn't rescued
45:07 Oh, let's not talk about it.
45:10 It's nice to have some real cold again.
45:16 Have you looked over everything I brought you? No, not yet.
45:20 the wedding gown in the closet.
45:21 A wedding gal.
45:23 One will of us, but I won't... We were supposed to be married three weeks ago.
45:26 Do you know that? Well, yes, but, uh... Father's a licensed captain. We'll be married at safe.
45:32 Well, I did.
45:34 tried before.
45:35 What do you mean?
45:36 All right.
45:37 Not playing it.
45:39 What's in there? - Golly, now look, Frankie.
45:41 We're getting married.
45:42 Oh, let's let a man speak.
45:44 You know, I became quite a cook on the island.
45:48 A galley slave's paradise. Not only electricity for cooking and freezing, but look at this.
45:53 No looking for jars or having them spilled by a heavy sea.
45:56 Press the button.
45:57 And there you are.
45:59 Happy to love that.
46:00 Everything automatic, but...
46:02 The potato peeler?
46:04 You wait till we get back into the fort and I'm gonna do a little button pushing myself. Your button.
46:09 You'll be in jail 24 hours after we go. Why, you won't... No, no, cut it down.
46:14 You've got to let off, Dean.
46:16 Push yourself a buck.
46:17 That's an idea.
46:21 Oh! There's a little false nipple for you!
46:46 It's bad, Mr. Rankin. Well, it's still a pretty heavy weather. Well, let him come. The electric can take it. It's getting a bit rough, isn't it? You shouldn't have left your staper, Mrs. Peasley. I wanted to tell you we'll be ready for the ceremony in 15 minutes. I don't believe I can leave. But you must. You've got to perform the ceremony. Isn't it really a rough engagement?
47:06 Where's Kathy?
47:07 He's pouty. Kind of rough out, eh, cabbie?
47:12 What's the matter? You upset about that merger? No. No.
47:16 I just can't get over my own daughter doing this to me. That's not doing it to you. She's doing it to Waldo Jr. I'll never forgive her for it. Now, wait a minute, Kathy. I won't wait a second.
47:27 Scubbin' little fool. Why, she don't want that lily-livered swarm. Just because he rescued us, she feels obligated. I'm gonna put a stop to this, and I'm gonna put a stop to that merger, too. Now, you remember what you said on the island? What? That you were a meddling old fool who couldn't mind his own business? Did I say that? Sure did. Must have been talking in my sleep.
47:49 Bill, it's gonna be three days before this storm blows over. Oh, what's that got to do with it? Well, you ever notice anything funny about this float to showcase?
47:57 What the...
47:58 Right. Radio control, automatic steering, automatic compass, automatic everything. Ever been down the engine room? No. The whole shebang runs from one switch. I don't know anything about all these gadgets. Well, neither do I, but I do know that old Baltimore can't say it without it. What about the crew? Two men. The steam center and the steward. I see Mary is under very strange circumstances, but never like this.
48:23 Stop fletching, will you? I'm standing still. It's the boat. Oh, I think you'll crazily go through with this. You don't want to. Of course I do. Besides, where would I be if it weren't Pualdo? Safe on the island, in Bill Peck's arms. Not interesting. Besides, I haven't seen him burning any bridges to stop me. Where are the bridges?
48:45 Well, if he were a resourceful, he'd do something about it. What do you want him to do? Stop the ship? Sure.
49:15 Oh, oh, break it. Oh, oh.
49:33 Seven bells. All is well. What I want to know is, who made this ocean the Pacific? Up and down, round and round, but we're going nowhere. Oh, yes, we are. To the bottom.
49:45 To do something. Yes, Mr. Bottomley. Push it up with me. I wonder where Walter's doing it. We've got to go somewhere. We found out what's the matter? Everything, sir. Our plant ain't real. Thank you again. Unjammed. But I want to know is, are we going around in a circle? No, ma'am. We're just not going at all. Why? Our plant air commensates all the automatic instruments and the engines, sir.
50:09 Forget about this. What kind of a sailor are you anyway? I remind you, sir, that I'm not a sailor at all. Why are you on this ship? If you please. I'm an electrical physio research engineer. Oh.
50:22 And you, how about you and that other fellow? Don't forget we've got sails. Yeah, but we're only seamen and a power. And suppose we could sail. If we couldn't get anywhere, we can't navigate. Especially when the instruments ain't working. Isn't everything without a commission at once? Why? I don't know.
50:39 I do. There are a dozen men left who can sail this boat home without navigating it. And one of them is on this boat. Kathy! Look old Kathy, darling. Kathy. I wouldn't ask him to help. The men are going to the bottom. I will. Better not go out there, miss. I thought to.
51:00 Bill!
51:07 No, this is the way to make you.
51:09 like a storm. Come on, Phil, pull your heart together. We'll look after you. Oh, press a button, it's pulled out the way. Please, out the way. Now we have a freehold. Oh, press a button.
51:39 and spool out the waves. Please, spool out the waves. I suppose you do think you're awfully smart. What's the matter? Can't you see? Why? Ellie, Matt, Mrs. Peasley, everybody is willing to do this. Oh, Captain, please, Phil. I don't know what she's talking about. If this boat keeps tossing around on the waves, it'll spill out the power. Well, hasn't Captain Bottomley got an automatic wave spooler?
52:09 Happy birthday!
52:14 I'll tell you what we'll do. The old push button will come down here first for me and agree to turn to his sailor. Oh, he won't. He's falling with me. Oh, Captain, don't you be stubborn. You know he has a bill behind him. Well, it's suddenly become awfully rusty. Well, here's the captain. You're having fine sailing with me, ain't you, Captain? I want to follow you up on deck immediately. What's wrong? To sail this ship. See the captain's orders? I command you.
52:45 Now, you listen to me, you mealy-mouthed, button-pushing parasite. You may be the captain of his ship, but you'll never get Kathy Rick's orders. They can sink as far as I'm concerned, and there's only one way you'll ever see land again. Well, I didn't mean that. And I'll sail it in under one condition, and I want that made in the presence of everybody on board. Well, anything within reason. Well, come on. We'll sail up there.
53:09 Sorry about Kathy's death. Get to work. What am I supposed to do?
53:15 You're delicious, too. Certainly. What?
53:21 Why, you...
53:24 All right, Mrs. Keesley. Not only is the merger out, but here it is. Clause number five. You're going to sell me back every bit of stock you own in my company. Is that clear? Yes, Kathy. Ms. Blackmail, shut up. Sign on the dotted line.
53:45 And another thing before I forget it, you're going to take all those gadgets out of my house and leave it the way it was. And then, Mrs. Peasley, you're going to scram. Yes, Kathleen. But where do I scram? Iceland. Peril Borneo. I don't care.
53:59 And as to you, Bottomley, you're gonna take all those automatic cargo loading gadgets to Matt and give him a money back. But, Taffy, mister, it's to you, buddy. How about it? Okay, but I think you're making a terrible mistake. The only mistake I'm making is not popping you one right in the end of your snoop.
54:48 How far are we the most? Well, we're 17 miles west of Seal Rocks and headed in a good 12. I told you we're still on the high seas.
54:56 And Cathy has four authority?
54:58 Oh, we did have. Well, what are we waiting for? I'll bet you can't be forgotten how the ceremony goes. I know the words by heart. Wait a minute.
55:09 Hey, you button pusher! Get that swerve in the corner there! Hey!
55:15 Aye, aye, sir.
55:29 Six bells and all is well. You're darn tootin' it!
