00:00Going my way, mister.
00:22Going my way, mister.
00:30Going my way, mister.
00:40Going my way, mister.
00:50Going my way, mister.
00:58The latest bulletin, Captain.
01:02Calling everyone, calling everyone.
01:06Stop, look, listen.
01:08And this means you, and you, and you.
01:13The age of speed, the lure of easy money,
01:16the hectic rhythms of life in high gear,
01:19all these have made the state motor police or highway patrol
01:22essential for your protection.
01:25On the highways and byways of our land,
01:27there are dangers and hazards far more perilous
01:30than a patch of broken concrete,
01:32a sharp curb, or some sudden traffic obstruction.
01:35Crime and vice may often take on the guise of the innocent hitchhiker.
01:40The gunman or his female counterpart at the highway mall,
01:44professional extortionist and blackmailer,
01:46may hail you at the next turning with,
01:49going my way, mister, a dangerous call.
01:53From such as these, the ever vigilant highway police
01:57seek to protect the unwary.
02:00And as a warning to fathers with good sons,
02:03and to mothers with pretty daughters,
02:05the producers of this picture have drawn directly
02:07from the official police records,
02:09the amazing and almost unbelievable story
02:12presented in Highway Hell.
02:23What do you think I'm running, a dive?
02:39Come on, get up and get out here.
02:41Get up!
02:46Come on, get up, or you're too late.
02:50What is it?
02:51What is it?
02:52Come on, you too.
02:54Get up and stay out.
02:57Don't pull at me.
02:58Don't pull at me.
02:59Come on, get up.
03:00Stay out.
03:04What's the world coming to?
03:07Coming around here with that kind of a train.
03:26Now listen, Cotton Top, the other girls are really out there,
03:28so see if you can bring in something.
03:30You got it?
03:31Bye.
03:41Thank the Lord they didn't have those in my days.
03:44Look at this place.
03:45When I'm not around here, everything goes wrong.
03:47People staying in here all night.
03:49Jimmy not taking care of the things
03:50that I'm supposed to have around here.
03:52Look at this.
03:53I'm not going to stand for this when I see him.
03:54I'm going to tell him a thing or two.
03:55And they call that music.
03:57Why, even the nickel gets stuck.
03:59No, ain't like it used to be.
04:04What's that, sister?
04:05You going my way, mister?
04:07Gosh, I guess so.
04:10Say, you're pretty.
04:11You don't mind riding with Elizabeth, do you?
04:14Who's Elizabeth?
04:15That's McCann.
04:16Pop in, sister.
04:17But they were ladies.
04:21Wait.
04:25Something's wrong.
04:27Short circuit or something.
04:29I never could understand them.
04:32Oh, look at this mess.
04:34Just wait till I see Jim.
04:38Hmm.
04:39That's funny.
04:41AJ.
04:43I remember.
04:45This kid used to come in here quite a bit.
04:47And then she got married.
04:50To a nice guy, too.
04:52Say, last night I saw her in here with a flicker.
04:57Or flusher.
04:58Yeah.
04:59I can tell by the size of the tip.
05:02And now her husband works all night a truck driver.
05:06And she works all night, well, kind of different.
05:10Oh, well.
05:12Easy money, easy virtue.
05:16Oh, everything is all mixed up around here.
05:20Guys running around with other people's wives.
05:23And wives running around with anyone they can pick up.
05:27And women drinking whiskey straight.
05:30And men, oh, what's it all coming to?
05:34If I didn't have to make a living, I'd retire and...
05:39Quiet!
05:43Quiet!
06:14Hey, Pop.
06:16What's the matter with this thing?
06:17I scared to death.
06:19I know.
06:20That's good music.
06:21The nickel just stuck.
06:22Drink for the girls, Pop.
06:24Whiskey.
06:27Make mine straight.
06:28Mine, too.
06:31Whiskey.
06:32Whiskey.
06:34Make mine double.
06:35Scotch and bourbon.
06:38Pop.
06:39Have one yourself.
06:41Wow.
06:43It tastes bad.
06:50What the...
06:51Well, that's all we had.
06:53Oh, for the love of my...
06:56Well, anyway, it's neat.
06:59Oh, I'll take mine on a platter.

11:23What's the matter, Dan?
11:25Oh, I don't know.
11:26There was kind of a funny smell around here.
11:28Erm, spawn now.
11:30How come you're so early?
11:31We're going for a swim.
11:32I thought I might bum a buck off ya.
11:34You know.
11:35We're going down to the pool.
11:36Vacation.
11:37Sure.
11:38I forgot.
11:41Here you are.
11:42Have a good time, stun.
11:43You've worth hard
12:22Listen, baby, you haven't been doing much lately, why don't you snap into it, see?
12:46You're telling me?
12:47Yeah, get it?
12:48And don't forget the picnic.
13:20Let's see the smile.
13:23Now let's have the business.
13:25Going my way, mister?
13:28Would you try to give it the business?
13:30We need the business.
13:31Let's have some animation.
13:32Put it in there.
13:33Now let's see it again.
13:34Going my way, mister?
13:39Good luck, sister.
13:40And don't forget to bring them to the picnic.
13:49Going my way, mister?
14:15Hop in.
14:18How far are you going?
14:19Well, I don't know.
14:21Just as far as you like.
14:23Well, okay, let's go.
14:35Going my way, mister?
14:41Where you going, sister?
14:43Going my way.
14:45Oh, for goodness sake, come on.
15:14How do you feel?
15:22Huh?
15:23It's all right.
15:24Still all right, huh?
15:25Well, I know you know your second onion, see, but Kevin rented you tonight.
15:29Don't forget the picnic.
15:52What's the matter, Sourfoot?
15:53Oh, I don't know.
15:55I'm getting kind of tired of all this.
15:57What do you want to do, work the pennies all your life?
15:58If you do, I'll send you back home.
16:00I don't want to go home.
16:01I can't go home.
16:03Oh, stop squawking.
16:05Hop off it.
16:06Come here.
16:09Look after the truck, will you?
16:11Okay.
16:12Why don't you leave it to me?
16:14You can do it, babe.
16:40Going my way, mister?
16:41What do you mean, going my way?
16:49Now what?
16:50I'm going to Center City.
16:52My mother's awfully sick and I thought you might take me.
16:55Center City?
16:56Why are you going that way?
16:58I'm a little embarrassed to do any kind of things.
17:00It's not exactly what I'm used to doing.
17:03Oh, well, don't cry, little girl, after all.
17:06Maybe my drink will fix you up.
17:08Oh, sure, sure.
17:09All right, come on.
17:10What's holding you?
17:28The operator?
17:31The snail.
17:36Now, these girls are placed along the highway, say, over, oh, 200 or 300 feet.
17:41I got six of them.
17:43Well, that's, oh, approximately 1,800 feet.
17:46I figure if they can't make a pickup in that distance, I'll let them go and get a new crew.
17:52I know where to get them to.
17:53See, I'm established now.
17:55They like to work for me.
17:56I make money.
17:58They make money.
17:59I have a nice car.
18:00I have nice clothes.
18:01We do the hot spots.
18:03You know, a car like this, you don't get the five and dime.
18:06Ah, boy, it's a great life.
18:07I work hard, but I make money.
18:08Why shouldn't I make money?
18:10After all, I'm tired of working for pennies, for peanuts.
18:25Hey.
18:27See you later.
18:43Sit down, Bob.
19:12Thumbs up?
19:19You comfortable?
19:20Oh, yeah, sure, sure.
19:23You bet.
19:34In a minute.
20:02Have another drink, Bob.
20:20Oh, no, thanks.
20:21I just had one.
20:25Gee.
20:27Gee, you're cute.
20:30It's my business.
20:32I, well, see you, Bob.
20:35I never met anyone quite like you.
20:38Innocent.
20:39Oh, well, I've been around.
20:44So have I.
20:46But I never once met a kid, a fellow like you.
20:50Haven't you?
20:52Come on over here.
21:01Gee.
21:04Gee, well, I mean, gosh.
21:07You smell nice.
21:09You do too, Bob, don't you?
21:12You remind me of things.
21:16Things I've missed.
21:18Missed?
21:19That's it, Bob.
21:20Oh, you know, the smell of something nice.
21:23Fresh air.
21:24Sunrise.
21:26The beautiful mountain or the highway.
21:30All my life I've wanted to be serious.
21:33And now I am.
21:37Oh, forget it.
21:38I have to.
21:39I'm in business.
21:41Well, I, I don't understand you.
21:45You will.
21:53Well, what's this, a tryout?
21:55Well, you see, we were...
21:56That's okay, kid.
21:58Bill is a swell girl.
22:01I just wanted to tell you I heard your dad's looking for you.
22:03He seems kind of mad.
22:04Ah, but take it easy, kid.
22:06You were born to make a lot of dough.
22:08We're pals, see, and we're going to see that you get a break.
22:10Gosh, I never met any folks like you before.
22:13Sure, I know.
22:14And to the looks of you, you can make some real dough.
22:17And I personally would see you do it.
22:20Gee, thanks.
22:22I think it's a swell idea.
22:25Well, so long, kid.
22:27So long.
22:32Swell trick, huh?
22:34No.
22:36No, not what you mean.
22:38What's the matter, Billy?
22:40Fault with this kid?
22:42I guess it's business.
22:45Keep it that way.
22:47Look, when you get this kid set up, everything will be swell.
22:50With the taverns and the cabins and the swell hookup,
22:52I won't have to book the gang to have a Tom, Dick and Harry.
22:54This will be our headquarters.
22:55We've got to work fast, see?
22:57In six months, we'll clean up and move out and take a real vacation.
23:00Or a cruise.
23:02I don't know.
23:04Don't tell me you fault with this kid or I'll blast you.
23:06You and me belong in this racket and you know it.
23:09I've got a heart, see?
23:10Yeah, a pin.
23:11Don't call me names, babe.
23:13This pin will be gold.
23:15I'll see to that.
23:16With this place and our men, it's a cinch.
23:19Come on, baby.
23:21Cover them up.
23:44Hey.
23:46Hello.
23:47Hello.
23:48Let me dive, Bob.
23:49Oh, sure, sure. Why...
23:53We've got to work fast for that kid.
23:55I need those cabins, see?
23:57And don't go too far.
24:09Where's Bob?
24:10Hello, Barbara.
24:11Hey, you don't belong here.
24:12What are you doing?
24:13Looking for Bob.
24:14Well, don't you know where he is?
24:16I don't know.
24:18I guess he's running around.
24:21Yeah, I'm afraid he is.
24:22You know, Barbara, one day I'm going to turn his hide as big as he is.
24:26Oh, I understand that he's going to the pool with you folks, right?
24:29Well, I should be.
24:30I gave him a couple of bucks.
24:31But we've already been there.
24:32You have?
24:33Oh, you know, he kind of likes you.
24:36And you?
24:37Oh, I...
24:39I guess so, Dad.
24:40Fine.
24:41You know, I always wanted a daughter.
24:44Well, so long, Dad.
24:46Bye.
24:47Oh, Barbara.
24:49Hello.
24:51So long, Dad.
24:52Bye, Barbara.
25:00Bye, Dad.
25:02Bye.
25:08Nice kid.
25:10You wouldn't know.
25:11Oh, get off your high horse, Pop.
25:13Licks me a fin.
25:18Why is this growling, Pop?
25:19Is that a nice way to treat a lady?
25:21Lady?
25:23Don't get smart.
25:24I will eventually.
25:26Now, listen.
25:28I want you to move out.
25:32Is that a threat?
25:34You heard me.
25:37Oh, Pop, listen.
25:40I want to be friends with him.
25:43You know, you and your son would make a swell combination.
25:51Funny part of it, Pop.
25:53For the first time in my life, I genuinely like the guy.
25:57My son?
25:59My son?
26:03What's wrong about that?
26:04With you?
26:06So what?
26:07I'll tell you.
26:09You don't belong.
26:10You can't.
26:11You're finished.
26:12My son is just starting out.
26:14His whole life is before him.
26:16He can't and he won't have anything to do with your kind.
26:21Pop, listen to me.
26:24I guess he hasn't told you.
26:26Ever since I've been here on the highway, I've been meeting him.
26:29We've been together since.
26:32Pop, the funny part of it is, for the first time in my life, I'm really in love.
26:39Love?
26:40Why, you tart!
26:41Quiet, Pop!
26:44Oh, I'm not so bad, really.
26:47I could be really good.
26:50As you call it, decent.
26:53If I had a chance.
26:55You had your chances.
26:57Too many of them.
26:58No, I didn't.
27:00And you're not going to stand in my way.
27:03I'm dead serious.
27:05You?
27:07Yes, even Slavik is out.
27:09That guy only has to snap his fingers and you jump anytime, anywhere.
27:13No, no, not this time.
27:16Yes, Pop.
27:18Oh, Pop.
27:23I'm asking for your help.
27:25Get out.
27:27Get out of the highway where you belong.
27:53Hey!
27:55The trick's on me.
28:06Hello, Dad.
28:07To your room, son.
28:08Oh, why?
28:09To your room!
28:22Jim.
28:35When you closed, you left the lights burning and a couple locked in.
28:38I did.
28:41You must have been wrung down from them treats.
28:43They were awfully drunk and young.
28:46Like you said, Pop, I made the boys show me their driver's license.
28:51Say, it must have been their dad's.
28:53But how can I tell?
28:54But the girl was so young.
28:56Say, at two o'clock in the morning.
28:58She looked old enough.
29:00You gotta be careful, Jim.
29:01I can't be everywhere.
29:03What with the cabins and...
29:04Say, do you rent them all?
29:06Yeah, all except one.
29:08And I'm moving her out in the morning.
29:10And this time they're tourists.
29:13How can you tell?
29:14Oh, I checked her auto license.
29:16Besides, I can tell.
29:18They look married.
29:20Say, at four o'clock in the morning, they all look that way.
29:25Get wise, Pop.
29:27On this highway, it's that fast turnover and the couple trade.
29:32Make sure you're reliving.
29:34Listen, Jim.
29:35If I had known what was really going to happen when I took this place,
29:38what with the oldsters cheating on the youngster, the lion,
29:42I never would have opened it.
29:44You see, Jim.
29:46My son is my living.
29:49Listen, Pop.
29:50You're getting kind of old,
29:52better think of yourself.
29:54He is...
29:57myself.
30:17Why did you have to send me down here like a kid?
30:19You are Bob.
30:20No, I ain't.
30:21I'm a man, see?
30:22Well, I don't want to be ordered around.
30:24I'm better than you think.
30:25I'm sure.
30:27Dead sure.
30:29Dead.
30:30I just can't figure you out.
30:32Why don't you try to be a little bit more moderate or something?
30:35Look at this place around here.
30:37Gee.
30:38Look at there, a six shooter.
30:40Say, they use automatics nowadays.
30:42But that could drill them.
30:44You bet.
30:45Sure of course.
30:46Well, I was once.
30:49A thing like that, a horseshoe and a cinch.
30:51Ah, that was a good old horse.
30:53Look in here.
30:54I want to know.
30:55Use electricity nowadays, then.
30:57Yes, but your mom cooked many a good big on that stove.
31:01What for use?
31:03Oh, by the way, son.
31:05I had a little talk with the girl at the bar.
31:07I don't know what her game is.
31:09But she's got a good game.
31:12I don't know what her game is.
31:14But she's after you.
31:16What of it?
31:18If she likes me, so what?
31:20Oh, son.
31:21You don't understand.
31:23They're a different kind from us.
31:28Now, son.
31:30I ain't much.
31:31But you're gonna be.
31:34Yeah.
31:35By my own effort.
31:37Don't talk that way.
31:38Why not?
31:39I've gotta make money fast, see?
31:41I'm just not the plotting sort.
31:43In spite of everything, I'm thirsty.
31:47Yeah.
31:50I was afraid of that.
31:56You know, Bob.
31:58Your mother and I always wanted you to be close to me.
32:01Just like this.
32:03Oh, I don't aim to order you around.
32:05But like your mother said, listen to me.
32:08I'm afraid I have that.
32:10Look, we're not folks.
32:11We're just trash and always have been.
32:13I got a way to make some real money.
32:15Is that all your life means?
32:16That sums it up, Dad.
32:18Look.
32:19We've been nothing.
32:20I'm running around now with some swell folks that have the cash.
32:22And that's all it means nowadays.
32:24Listen, you've got a swell place here.
32:25You can clean up.
32:26We can make a lot of money for, say, well, six months.
32:29Then what?
32:30We got it, see?
32:31Got what?
32:32Well, we work at right money.
32:35Is that all you're after?
32:37That's everything, isn't it?
32:43That's awfully cheap, son.
32:45But it's a living, Dad.
32:46A living.
32:47You're thinking wrong, son.
32:49Oh, I know about you and Billy.
32:51She's no good and she never will be.
32:53Oh, don't be shocked.
32:55I'm trying to teach you something.
32:57Teach me?
32:58You're raising me in a saloon.
33:00Dad, I don't mean to talk to you this way, but you have no right talking to me.
33:04You're just a...
33:07bartender.
33:10Just a...
33:11bartender, eh?
33:14That's all, isn't it, son?
33:16I schooled you, raised you.
33:18It took money to do that.
33:20I had to earn it the only way I knew how.
33:23Shuffling drinks, huh?
33:24Son, I'm your father.
33:26Sure you are, Dad.
33:27But you just don't belong.
33:29This is the modern age.
33:30Speed, fancy.
33:32You're an old-timer.
33:33Now, these cabins, your tavern belongs to the modern age.
33:36Wake up, Dad, or else you're out.
33:38Say, listen, I got a date.
33:39I'll see you later.
33:40Who is?
33:42With Barbara.
33:46Bob?
33:48What is it?
33:49Well, don't be angry.
33:53What makes you act so funny lately?
33:55I'm not acting funny.
33:56I'm just kind of busy.
33:58You mean with that lady?
34:00With Mr. Slavik?
34:01Sure, why not?
34:02It's business.
34:03Does your father know?
34:04What if he does?
34:05What if he doesn't?
34:07Gee, Barbara, I never realized what a kid you are.
34:10Bob, I want to tell you something.
34:12Will you listen?
34:13I'm in a hurry, but go ahead.
34:16I didn't like the way that Mr. Slavik looked at me by the pool.
34:20He looked sort of funny-like.
34:22Like he had something on his mind about me.
34:27You're crazy, Barbara.
34:29Why would he want to look at a kid like you?
34:31You're young and unsophisticated.
34:33He has plenty of girls.
34:36You're still a kid.
34:38Well, so long.
34:41Bob!
34:42Don't worry, Barbara.
34:43He's upset.
34:44I just gave him a dressing down.
34:46But he's acting so strange lately.
34:48Not at all like him.
34:49Oh, I know.
34:50I know.
34:51But St. Heart never won anything.
34:54Why, even in my younger days, the women had to take the bull by the horn.
34:58Now you run along to the picnic, and maybe things might happen.
35:02Gosh, Pop.
35:03You make me feel awfully brave.
35:32🎵
36:02I'm the guy that works hard to get you in touch with the real money.
36:05Think that over.
36:06I'm going over to Grove.
36:08See you later.
36:10🎵
36:38🎵
37:05Ain't he the one.
37:06Say, and I still ain't seen the big money he was talking about.
37:10And where are those rich guys he was going to put his wives to?
37:13Well, it's better than working for pennies, ain't it?
37:15Before I met him, I was head girl in my department.
37:19Doing what?
37:20Slinging hash.
37:21The vulgar call it.
37:23I was a professional.
37:24A dancer.
37:25Where?
37:26Ellensburg.
37:27And I was the only one who could do single time, double time, and triple step.
37:30They said I was a sensation.
37:32Then what are you doing here, in this racket?
37:34Well, to tell you the truth, I'm working my way toward Hollywood.
37:37There's millions of your kind there.
37:39You gotta have a pull.
37:41I have one.
37:42A personal letter to Central Casting in Hollywood.
37:45Oh, so you don't believe me.
37:48Well, look.
37:55To Central Casting, Hollywood.
37:57Dear Sirs, I read in the papers you have 10,000 girls there.
38:02And sending my daughter, a great dancer.
38:05We call her the peppy bombshell of Ellensburg.
38:09So you won't have to look for more.
38:11I know you will take good care of her.
38:14Thanking you for her coming success.
38:17Mrs. Emily Lee.
38:21How could a mother possibly write a letter like that?
38:25Why are you here?
38:26Cause.
38:27Cause what?
38:28Cause of a quarrel.
38:30Then a divorce.
38:31Mother died.
38:33Daddy left.
38:34And I couldn't stand the other folks.
38:36So I run away.
38:46Oh boy, it's well here.
38:54Don't you kind of like trees like this?
38:56And what?
38:57Well, just being here.
39:00Is it fun living in the country?
39:03Oh, kind of.
39:04Maybe, but not as much fun as being like you are.
39:08You think so?
39:09Well, you get all the clothes you want.
39:11Swell cars.
39:13Excitement.
39:14And a lot to do.
39:16Lots to do.
39:18Yeah, I'm afraid so.
39:20What makes you say a funny thing like that?
39:22Oh, I don't know.
39:23I'm talking out of my head again.
39:26Well, I.
39:28I am sort of afraid of you.
39:31What?
39:32You afraid?
39:36Just about everything.
39:39But you.
39:51Hi, Tamara.
39:54Hello.
39:55I see you're fooling around with something a lot older than he is.
39:58Oh, Ted.
39:59To Bob, it's just business.
40:01Oh, Barbara, when are you going to wake up?
40:03That guy's fallen hook, line, and sinker.
40:06Look, why don't you go to the dance with me tonight?
40:08Forget Bob.
40:10You know, behind his back, all the fellas are laughing.
40:14What a sucker he is.
40:16And you too.
40:17I am not.
40:19Why all this gum-chewing?
40:20Snooping?
40:21Spying on it from behind trees?
40:23I'm not spying.
40:26Not longer.
40:28Sucker.
41:21Oh, Bob.
41:39Darling.
41:40That makes a guy feel kind of good.
41:42Oh, Bob.
41:44What you're thinking of can't ever be.
41:47We're worlds apart.
41:49Don't interrupt me.
41:52You're sort of like a fledgling.
41:55Just about to drop off into space.
41:59I'm older, but...
42:02I feel sort of the same way.
42:05Only different somehow.
42:09That's a funny feeling, isn't it?
42:15Well, Barbara, picking?
42:17Mr. Slavik.
42:19I wasn't picking.
42:20Honest, I wasn't.
42:21Yes, you were, too.
42:23You're quite a big girl for that.
42:25You know, you're just about the prettiest girl I ever met.
42:28Oh, Mr. Slavik.
42:29Oh, cut the mister.
42:30I mean it.
42:31You know, you have a lot of charm and grace.
42:34You know, if you'd like to be my...
42:36Well, one of the girls,
42:38you can make a lot of money fastly.
42:40By no time at all, you'd be...
42:41But I'd never think of leaving home.
42:43Oh, of course not.
42:45You know, just to show you what a pal I am
42:47to you and your boyfriend Bobby,
42:50I'd like to take you to dinner tonight.
42:52We'll go to some swell place.
42:53You know, music and dancing.
42:55The Marquis, no less.
42:57Oh, but I couldn't.
42:59I haven't got a dress to wear.
43:01Come as you are.
43:02You'd like to dance with Bobby, wouldn't you?
43:04Oh, yes.
43:06At the date.
43:08I'll send him over.
43:09You tell him.
43:11You sure play.
43:13Well, hello, you two.
43:14Oh, hello.
43:15Hey, Barbara's waiting for you over by the tree.
43:17You better go see what she wants.
43:19Okay.
43:21Bye.
43:22See you later.
43:32Listen, kid, we're all set.
43:33This time, our headquarters are the Wagon Wheel Cabins.
43:35The Wagon Wheel Cabins?
43:37Sure, why not?
43:38I'll frame this.
43:40You'd like that, wouldn't you?
43:42And if I didn't?
43:43Oh, snap out of it.
43:45Once we get the old man in the palm,
43:46we're all set, see, like I told you.
43:49By the way, I've got Barbara and Bob set for a date.
43:53You work fast, don't you, Slavik?
43:55Nothing passes me up.
44:02Hello, Barbara.
44:03Hello.
44:05Slavik said you had something for me.
44:07Slavik said you had something to tell me.
44:09I have, Bob.
44:11It's about a dance tonight at a small place,
44:14and we're both invited.
44:21Come on.
44:22Let me tell you...

49:21Aren't you ashamed, and drunk with Barbara.
49:22Now you're in the gutter, and I was told by your supposed friend that if I lose my license,
49:26and if it saves you, I will lose it.
49:29It must have been an accident. Slavik will fix things.
49:31He has. Your life is ruined before it started.
49:35I've got to close the place.
49:37Maybe I never should have been what I have been.
49:39But you, you're getting old.
49:41You don't know how to run a place like this. Let me do it.
49:44You?
49:44Sure, I got modern ideas.
49:46You don't know what you're talking about.
49:47Yes, I do. I've grown bigger than you think.
49:49You're wrong.
49:50No, I'm not.
49:50I just think I'm always having you preaching to me.
49:52You're always giving me a harangue.
49:53That does not mean anything.
49:54Nothing.
49:55I've got a chance to get ahead. Even Slavik says that.
49:58And until things get right, I'm moving out.
50:00I could lick you for that.
50:01Why don't you?
50:05Bob.
50:07Bob, son.
50:09It wasn't you I hit.
50:11It was what you stood for.
50:14Go away.
50:15Haven't you done enough?
50:21I'm afraid I have, Bob.
50:24Poor kid.
50:25That's the trouble.
50:27Kid? Poor?
50:29Oh, Pop, I know all about the trouble, and I'm here to help, honest.
50:32You?
50:33Oh, Pop, listen, it was a frame-up.
50:35There's nothing wrong between this kid and Barbara.
50:38It was Slavik's idea.
50:39And I'm sick of it. Honestly sick of it.
50:43Oh, Pop, they were trying to rob you of your license, and I...
50:47I kind of helped them.
50:50I'm telling you, this is the only thing I've ever done that's...
50:54decent.
50:55Decent?
50:57Please forgive me.
50:58Good work, Billy.
51:00You're a swell old tipping miss.
51:02Yes, you do.
51:05Come here, Billy.
51:07Now, don't do anything rash, Slavik.
51:11If you don't want to do anything, you're going to be sorry, folks.
51:13Say there, you two.
51:16It's all mine now.
51:18No partners.
51:20You never could be true, could you, Billy?
51:24You wanted a vacation.
51:26Well, I'm sending you on a trip.
51:29A real cruise.
51:37That's for a double-cross.
51:39And Barbara!
51:45No, no, no, no, no!
51:51Who loveth much...
51:53...is forgiven much.
52:07Whiskey! Whiskey! Whiskey! Whiskey! Whiskey! Whiskey!
52:23Whiskey!
52:34Roy!
52:35Hello!
52:36Hello, Slavik.
52:37Hi!
52:38What's the matter?
52:39Something wrong, Slavik?
52:41Whiskey.
52:43Drink.
52:44Why, you! You're playing!
52:48You're a nasty trick.
52:51Girls, go home where you belong.
52:55You're so young.
52:57Come on, girls. Let's go.
53:14The crazy things kids do nowadays.
53:24What's the matter, son?
53:26Your chin still hurts?
53:28Yeah.
53:30There was a swell blow, Dad.
53:32I guess it sort of woke me up.
53:34No.
53:35This ain't a business.
53:37You see, as old as I am, you taught me something young.
53:42And as young as you are, you taught me something twice as old.
53:52I didn't tell you, Bob, but I found those snapshots of you and Barbara,
53:56and I burned the negatives.
53:58And that's the end of that.
54:00You see, Bob, experience is the foundation on which we build.
54:04For instance, this highway love.
54:07The oldest profession in the world, in a new setting.
54:11The modern highway kind,
54:13the kind that takes you unawares and in unexpected places,
54:17is the most vicious in this pleasure-crazy world.
54:21But it's something we cannot close our eyes to
54:24if we would build character.
54:26To overcome it, we must act quickly.
54:29Let us keep our highways,
54:32the byways of life, clean.
54:35And we can do it
54:37if each and every one of you
54:40will do your part.
