00:00:30Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
00:01:00That's all.
00:01:08Well, one nice thing about this job, whenever I column goes short, I always pair it with some whole about the Andycott dame.
00:01:13Rule number one, never refer to the daughter of our biggest stockholder as a dame.
00:01:19Remember, she's heaven's gift of the Roto section.
00:01:22Miss Gloria Andycott with her prize winning Russian wolf-hound, Ivanovlich.
00:01:26Miss Andycott is the one, not Scratchy.
00:01:29Miss Gloria Endicott, yachting enthusiast, sitting on rear deck of her yacht, the nausea the second.
00:01:37Copy, boy.
00:01:40I think they cut down giant redwoods to print pictures of Gloria Endicott.
00:01:44How long you gonna be with that story of yours?
00:01:46Story? On a paper's time? Don't be silly, this is my play.
00:01:49Okay, Shakespeare, so long.
00:01:51Oh, kid.
00:01:53Hello, Ross. How about removing that classic Greek nose of yours from the grindstone and dunking it in a feed bag?
00:01:59I'm sorry, Kay, it never do for me to be seen eating with a tabloid writer. Besides, I've got a date.
00:02:05Tell mama who it is.
00:02:07Gloria Endicott.
00:02:08Flying rather high, aren't you?
00:02:10Well, can I help her if millionaire's daughters find me irresistible?
00:02:14I hope you both get homemade.
00:02:23Ah, Graham, just the man I want to see.
00:02:36Oh, another tough assignment, eh?
00:02:38Hey, what would the clarion do without me, chief?
00:02:40I'm afraid we'll have to. Do without you, I mean.
00:02:43What?
00:02:44I'm sorry, Graham, it's not my fault. Order from upstairs. Got to cut down on the overhead.
00:02:48Well, now, look here, Mr. Brenton, you can't just fire guys like that without warning.
00:02:51I've been doing it for years.
00:02:53Sorry, old man, and lots of luck.
00:03:04Six bits.
00:03:06The condemned man will not eat a hearty luncheon.
00:03:14Tea for two, and you might bring me a blank check.
00:03:18Very good, sir.
00:03:20I don't think any check of mine is very good. You're crazy.
00:03:23Quite so, sir.
00:03:26I suppose I could charge it to the clarion, but I've got too much conscience.
00:03:30I'd rather give these crooks a rubber check.
00:03:32You do neither. You're out of a job and the lunch is on me.
00:03:36Well, let me see.
00:03:39Well, I'm handsome.
00:03:42Ross, I love you. Will you marry me?
00:03:46Hey, those confounded mice are back in my ear trumpet again.
00:03:50I said I love you. Will you marry me?
00:03:53Your tea, sir.
00:03:55Oh, I make it coffee. Very black and in large cups.
00:03:59Very good, sir.
00:04:02I mean it.
00:04:04Now, there's irony for you. Me without a job and I get the biggest scoop in years.
00:04:08Gloria Endicott loses mind in restaurant. Beautiful heiress goes haywire.
00:04:13It's not a gag. I'm in earnest. Dead earnest.
00:04:17I've been out for some time and you're the first man I've wanted to marry.
00:04:20Oh, swell catch I am.
00:04:22Well, at least you're not marrying me for Dad's money just because he's got in the neighborhood of eight million.
00:04:26Well, it's my favorite neighborhood.
00:04:28I mean it. Why shouldn't I marry someone I really want?
00:04:31I fell in love with you that first day at the clarion.
00:04:34Gloria, what have I got to give you?
00:04:37I've lost my job. I've got six bits between me and starvation.
00:04:41People don't usually marry on 75 cents.
00:04:44And besides, I...
00:04:45You don't love me.
00:04:47I know you can't help that, but I...
00:04:50We'd have plenty to live on.
00:04:52Oh, I see.
00:04:54In other words, you're offering to keep me, right?
00:04:57Well, if you want to put it that way, I guess I am.
00:05:00And if we don't hit it off, we'll have a nice front page divorce and you'll pay me alimony.
00:05:04Oh, Ross, please.
00:05:06Oh, well, I'm sorry, but you are a spoiled kid.
00:05:10You're used to having everything you want.
00:05:12Not everything.
00:05:14Well, I'll keep you in mind, baby.
00:05:16And I think you're swell.
00:05:18Your coffee, sir.
00:05:27Wait a look, boss. He's my column today. It's terrific.
00:05:29Hey, did you see my masterpiece on the...
00:05:31Sure, sure. Say, did you see how the boss took that picture...
00:05:33Don't talk while Ted's interrupting.
00:05:35Thanks, girls. As I was saying, I'm a cinch for the Pulitzer Prize.
00:05:37Oh, that's what I like about newspaper people.
00:05:39They never talk about themselves.
00:05:41Hi, you mugs.
00:05:42Hello there. Where were you all last night, you dirty stay out?
00:05:45I was getting myself measured for a park bench.
00:05:48Tough break you're being let out, Ross.
00:05:50Yeah, that was tough, Ross. Sorry to hear about it.
00:05:52Ted, I've got a good one for your column.
00:05:55A Scotsman waited six months for an eclipse so he could send a night letter.
00:05:59You're tired, Harvey. Have a drink.
00:06:01How about you, mugs?
00:06:02Any given number.
00:06:03Never drink when I'm not working.
00:06:06Can Mama help any?
00:06:08Mama helps by just being around.
00:06:11How's the bank roll holding out?
00:06:13You should speak with more respect about the department.
00:06:18Mother has been playing the ponies again.
00:06:21Ah, nix, Kay. It's well of you...
00:06:22Oh, you can pay me back when you get a job.
00:06:24Meantime, I'm going to lose mine if I don't get started. Come on.
00:06:27But I owe you so much already, Kay.
00:06:29You don't owe me a darn bit. Just as long as I don't...
00:06:31Oh, don't worry, honey. You're still tops.
00:06:33You're lucky, gal.
00:06:34That's all I wanted to know.
00:06:40See you later.
00:06:46Anchovies, chicken, Scotch and rye. What more could you wish for?
00:06:49Oh, I've wished often. I've wished for a wife.
00:06:51Why, Peter Nathan, what would you do with a wife?
00:06:54Supporter. What are you supposed to do with them?
00:06:56Any candidates? Or aren't you telling till after election?
00:06:59You know darn well there's only one candidate.
00:07:01And it's you, Gloria.
00:07:02What? No dark horses?
00:07:04No dark horses. No light horses. No nothing.
00:07:08Just you, Gloria.
00:07:10Will you?
00:07:11Oh, Pete dear, I wish I could.
00:07:13It would simplify matters so, but...
00:07:15But I can't. I can't.
00:07:17Well, later on. I'd wait.
00:07:19No, Pete. No.
00:07:21You see, I'm... I'm...
00:07:23In love with somebody else?
00:07:24Oh, that would make a lovely title for one of your songs.
00:07:27Why don't you use it?
00:07:28Oh, Pete, you're sweet and easy to take.
00:07:32You sound as if I were a pill.
00:07:34Wouldn't be hard to fall in love with you.
00:07:37But I'm afraid it's out.
00:07:39Do you feel like dancing?
00:07:40Mm-hmm. Right off the end of a bridge.
00:07:43Then you better have another drink. The East River's awfully cold.
00:07:49This cutting down the staff's got me worried.
00:07:51When they start saving overhead, no telling who'll be next.
00:07:54Overhead, my foot.
00:07:55The boss's daughter had him fired.
00:07:56What?
00:07:57Sure.
00:07:58To land him.
00:07:59A millionaire's daughter looks pretty swell to a guy out of a job and broke.
00:08:02Listen, they look good at any time.
00:08:04Oh, that indicate day makes me ashamed of my sex.
00:08:07Look out. Here comes Ross now.
00:08:09Well, why shouldn't he hear about it?
00:08:10After all, the trick was played on him, wasn't it?
00:08:12And he's the only one who doesn't know about it.
00:08:14Who doesn't know what about what?
00:08:16Oh, nothing. Ted's tight and...
00:08:18Tight, my eye.
00:08:19Harry, how many drinks have I had?
00:08:21Two.
00:08:22And no one's ever told me about it.
00:08:24Two, and neither one of them been paid for it.
00:08:26Yeah, you would think of that.
00:08:28Listen, Ross, I've always been your best pal, haven't I?
00:08:31Yeah, you've let me lend you money and put you to bed.
00:08:34You borrowed my girls.
00:08:36My pal.
00:08:37And if anybody ever pulled a dirty trick on me, you'd tell me, wouldn't you?
00:08:40With the greatest of pleasure.
00:08:42All right, then.
00:08:43Maybe you'd like to know that your friend, Miss Gloria Endicott, had you fired.
00:08:47Oh, he's got columnitis.
00:08:49Believes every rumor he hears.
00:08:51Rumor, huh? I got it straight from Breton.
00:08:53She's in love with you, and she wants to marry you.
00:08:55So she got her old man to make Breton give you the gate.
00:08:57You're drunk.
00:08:58It's true, and you know it.
00:08:59She figured if you didn't have a job, that she'd have a better chance with you.
00:09:02Any dame who'd pull a trick like that is no better than...
00:09:04Get him out of here before I kill him!
00:09:06What a pal!
00:09:07That's what you get for trying to be good to him.
00:09:15Come on home with me, Ross.
00:09:24I'll come back and get the kid when he's too far gone to notice.
00:09:27I'll look out for him.
00:09:38You can't get away with it.
00:09:41I'll show her.
00:09:44You can't get away with it.
00:09:47I'll show her.
00:09:58Harry.
00:09:59We'll talk.
00:10:10Endicott.
00:10:13Gloria Endicott.
00:10:16Gonna make a sucker out of me.
00:10:35Hello.
00:10:36Listen, is that proposition you made me still open?
00:10:40Why, yes, of course.
00:10:42Well, why call me up at this time of the night?
00:10:44Well, I just called you up to tell you that I'm all for it, baby.
00:10:48And the sooner we get it over, the better it suits me.
00:10:53Why, Ross!
00:10:55You darling!
00:10:56Well, that's all.
00:10:58You set the day and let the wedding bells ring out.
00:11:12All right.
00:11:33I'll shut up.
00:11:42Hello?
00:11:44Yes?
00:11:45Darling, last night seems almost like a dream.
00:11:48It doesn't seem possible it could have happened.
00:11:51Last night?
00:11:52What are you talking about?
00:11:55Last night when you called up and said you accepted my proposal, nitwit.
00:11:59Oh, Ross, I'm so happy.
00:12:02I accepted your proposal?
00:12:04Well, yes, of course.
00:12:05Don't you remember how late it was?
00:12:07Two o'clock in the morning.
00:12:09Of course, don't you remember how late it was?
00:12:11Two o'clock in the morning.
00:12:13And the engagement's announced in this morning's clarion.
00:12:17You announced our engagement?
00:12:20Yes, as soon as I got Dad's consent.
00:12:22You wanted speed and you're going to get it.
00:12:25I see. Thanks.
00:12:27Oh, darling, don't be so polite.
00:12:31I'll expect you this evening.
00:12:33Bye.
00:12:39Bye.
00:12:55Listen, Ross, what the devil does this mean?
00:13:03First she gets you fired, then the very first thing you know,
00:13:05she's got your engagement plastered over every single front page in town.
00:13:08What are you doing, Ross?
00:13:09Giving us all the run around and taking a walk out powder on Kay?
00:13:12You know I'm not...
00:13:13Well, a story like that doesn't break unless the dame's got a good reason to believe it's true.
00:13:17She seems to think it's true.
00:13:19Well, is it?
00:13:22She said I called her at 2 a.m.
00:13:26Holy mackerel, maybe I did.
00:13:28Harvey said he found me dead to the world in Harry's.
00:13:30Don't you remember whether you called her or not?
00:13:32Well, you don't think I would've if I'd known what I was doing.
00:13:34Like taking a sock at you.
00:13:36I'm sorry about that, Ted.
00:13:37Oh, forget it.
00:13:39Yeah, but what am I going to do about Gloria?
00:13:41I got an idea.
00:13:42Be on the square with the dame.
00:13:43Tell her that you were...
00:13:44Well, just tell her that you were lit to the ears when you phoned.
00:13:46And that you can't marry her.
00:13:48She'll get over it.
00:13:49No, it's not going to be as easy as all that.
00:13:51Charming girl.
00:13:52She does her best to put you in the bread line.
00:13:53Come on, will you, Ross?
00:13:54Snap out of it.
00:13:56Well, might as well get it over with.
00:13:59Ross!
00:14:00Hiya, Carla.
00:14:01I've been trying to get you and your phone's been out of order.
00:14:08Ross.
00:14:09Kay's taken poison.
00:14:12What?
00:14:13The city had sent her on an assignment to cover a story
00:14:15about a young millionaire who was marrying a reporter.
00:14:18Hard interest stuff, you know.
00:14:20She knew the dame was indicate,
00:14:22but she didn't know who the guy was until she got there.
00:14:25She covered her assignment, turned it in,
00:14:27and then went home and...
00:14:28But she... she's not...
00:14:30No, she's still alive.
00:14:32But no thanks to you.
00:14:34Where is she?
00:14:35Home.
00:14:36She's too weak to be taken to a hospital.
00:14:54Kay.
00:14:56How are you, baby?
00:14:58Hello, Ross.
00:15:00I'm sorry, baby.
00:15:02But it isn't what you thought.
00:15:03You see...
00:15:04There's nothing to explain.
00:15:07I could have forgiven everything
00:15:09if you'd only been square with me.
00:15:13Why didn't you tell me you wanted to marry her?
00:15:15Only last night we...
00:15:17There's no one but you, Kay, I swear it.
00:15:20I was on my way to break it off with Gloria when Carla told me...
00:15:23Go up to her then.
00:15:25Go ahead, marry her for her money.
00:15:28Tie yourself to her purse strings.
00:15:30Tie yourself to her purse strings.
00:15:33You're a heel.
00:15:35You always have been, only I never knew it before.
00:15:38Kay, please.
00:15:39Go away and don't ever come back.
00:15:41I never want to see you again.
00:15:43I'm afraid you'll have to go now.
00:15:47Goodbye, Ross.
00:16:01THE END
00:16:22Well, son, it looks as if he's going to go through with it.
00:16:25What do you think of a fellow who'd give up a swell girl like Kay Duncan?
00:16:31My sentiments exactly.
00:16:34Come in.
00:16:40Oh, hi, Harvey.
00:16:41You see, have you got a dress tie I can borrow?
00:16:43Sure, if I can find it.
00:16:45I haven't worn it since before my wife died.
00:16:50Hiya, old-timer.
00:16:53Hiya.
00:16:56Well, how you been?
00:16:58Huh?
00:16:59Get there.
00:17:00Go easy on that shirt.
00:17:02Took me all day to borrow it.
00:17:06What's the matter?
00:17:08Here you are.
00:17:13Thanks, Harvey.
00:17:14I'll bring it back tomorrow.
00:17:16Oh, don't bother.
00:17:20Say, what's eating you?
00:17:22Nothing.
00:17:23I'll tie it for you.
00:17:24Yeah, I guess you better.
00:17:30THE END
00:17:36Are you having a good time, my boy?
00:17:38Marvellous.
00:17:39I never knew how charming the 400 could be, Mr. Endicott.
00:17:42Oh, you'll find us no different from anyone else.
00:17:45I shouldn't wonder.
00:17:54Well, now that you've finally arrived, how about dancing with me?
00:17:59Sure.
00:18:04Gloria, there's something I have to tell you.
00:18:06Isn't there any place we can go for a few minutes?
00:18:08Why, yes, of course.
00:18:09Out on the balcony.
00:18:10But why so 10-20-30?
00:18:11What's happened?
00:18:12Well, I'll tell you later.
00:18:13Tell me now.
00:18:14Nobody can hear in this racket.
00:18:16Gloria, I...
00:18:17Pardon me.
00:18:18May I have the next dance?
00:18:19Yes, of course.
00:18:30May I?
00:18:33Hey!
00:18:34Why not?
00:18:35Who's better qualified to cover the story than little Mel,
00:18:38the gal who ain't been done right by?
00:18:41Come here.
00:18:46Now, look here, Kay.
00:18:47You've got to listen to me.
00:18:48I wrote you and the letters came back.
00:18:50I tried to telephone you and you won't talk to me.
00:18:52Now you're going to listen and listen hard.
00:18:53To what?
00:18:54A lot of lies?
00:18:55No, thank you.
00:18:56Well, how do you know they're lies if you won't listen?
00:18:58I'm not interested.
00:19:00And besides, I'm doing all right.
00:19:06Oh, I see.
00:19:07Who is he?
00:19:08Jim Henderson, the boy from home.
00:19:10You never met him.
00:19:11He came up just after you did the grand walkout on me.
00:19:14Newspaper man?
00:19:16Yes, sort of.
00:19:17He hasn't much money, of course,
00:19:18but then we can't all expect to marry millions.
00:19:21Well, even if you are going to marry another guy,
00:19:23you cared enough to try to kill yourself.
00:19:26That's right.
00:19:27Forget you've ever been just a newspaper man
00:19:29with a job and self-respect.
00:19:31But don't ever talk to me again.
00:19:33I'm going to marry a man,
00:19:34not a social-climbing, money-hunting heel.
00:19:46Hello, darling.
00:19:51Darling, if Pete ever asks me to dance again, shoot him.
00:19:54Or me.
00:19:55What was it you wanted to tell me?
00:20:00Darling, what was it you wanted to tell me?
00:20:04Just this.
00:20:05I love you.
00:20:07Well, Ruth, after all.
00:20:09May I have a light, please?
00:20:12Fine reporter you are.
00:20:15Can't even recognize Carla's ring.
00:20:18Can't even realize that
00:20:19I never knew anyone named Jim Henderson
00:20:22in my whole life.
00:20:32I'm sorry.
00:20:34I'm sorry.
00:20:36I'm sorry.
00:20:38I'm sorry.
00:20:39I'm sorry.
00:20:44Like it, darling?
00:20:46Well, of course, only...
00:20:47Only what?
00:20:49Well, it's so expensive.
00:20:50But you're not paying for it.
00:20:52Well, that's just it.
00:20:53It's so silly.
00:20:54I mean, you buying your own engagement ring.
00:20:56I'm not buying it.
00:20:57Dad is, aren't you, old sweet?
00:20:59I know just how you feel, my boy.
00:21:01Pride is a very commendable thing.
00:21:03But Gloria has her pride, too.
00:21:05She wants the best and she'll probably get it.
00:21:07I've got the best right here.
00:21:10What are you going to do with a girl like this?
00:21:11Well, pretty odd she has experience as a father.
00:21:14I'd say give her her own way.
00:21:17She'll have it anyway.
00:21:18There, you see?
00:21:20Send the rest back to Cortez.
00:21:21I'm keeping this one.
00:21:30Good eye!
00:21:31What, no chocolate?
00:21:32Steady, old girl.
00:21:33Remember Peggy's wedding?
00:21:34Yeah, she was so nervous
00:21:35she nearly cut her thumb off.
00:21:36Oh, he'll do it.
00:21:37I need his thumb.
00:21:38I'll say you do.
00:21:45The bouquet.
00:21:46We'd like to get married, too, you know.
00:21:53That's the second sock in the eye you've had from Gloria.
00:21:57Oh, the cake.
00:21:58Come on, come on.
00:22:03Just a little wedding present.
00:22:06Palm beans.
00:22:07She's pretty expensive.
00:22:13Well, honestly, Mr. Endicott, I...
00:22:14Forget that pride of yours for a minute, will you?
00:22:16You'll find Gloria has brightened up both of you.
00:22:19Besides, I made the check out to you.
00:22:24Thank you, sir.
00:22:31Oh, pardon me.
00:22:32Hello, Ross.
00:22:34Hiya, Carla.
00:22:37Gee, I'm glad one of my friends showed up.
00:22:39Can you give me a list of the guests?
00:22:41Yeah.
00:22:42Let's see, there's, uh...
00:22:44There's Pete Maitland and, uh...
00:22:46Peggy Dunn.
00:22:48Valerie Van Fleet.
00:22:49Hey, wait a minute, wait a minute.
00:22:51Have a piece of wedding cake.
00:22:52Yeah, thanks.
00:22:57And, uh...
00:23:03Well, how come you're wearing Kay's ring?
00:23:05Because it's mine, that's why.
00:23:08Why, she said she got it from a guy named Henderson, her fiancé.
00:23:11Well, naturally.
00:23:12You don't suppose she wanted you to know how cut up she was about all this?
00:23:17You mean...
00:23:18There's no Jim Henderson?
00:23:20There never was.
00:23:23Gee.
00:23:24And here I thought she was gonna marry some guy and be happy.
00:23:28I take it you're still in love with Kay.
00:23:31Well, you know I am.
00:23:33I'll never love anyone but Kay.
00:23:35But...
00:23:36I'm sunk now.
00:23:40Come on, bridegroom.
00:23:41Make it snappy.
00:23:42You'll miss the train.
00:23:43Come on!
00:23:45Come on.
00:24:04No, don't go in there.
00:24:07Will there be anything else, ma'am?
00:24:09No, there's nothing else.
00:24:13Oh.
00:24:16Here.
00:24:17Thank you, sir.
00:24:28Separate rooms, huh?
00:24:29Yes, don't you remember?
00:24:30You once said that you thought...
00:24:31I don't remember.
00:24:32I don't remember.
00:24:33Separate rooms, huh?
00:24:34Yes, don't you remember?
00:24:35You once said that you thought...
00:24:36Married couples would get awfully tired of each other if they shared the same room.
00:24:40Besides, I like it.
00:24:41I think it's nicer.
00:24:42You certainly believe in starting things off right, don't you?
00:24:45Oh, Ross, for heaven's sake.
00:24:47I was only trying to please you.
00:24:49I don't seem to be a howling success at it so far.
00:24:53Oh, I'm sorry.
00:24:55Wear and tear of married life, I guess.
00:24:57So soon?
00:24:59You weren't very nice to me coming up on the train, either.
00:25:03Gloria.
00:25:05I'll have to face the music sometime.
00:25:07I, uh...
00:25:09I don't love you.
00:25:11Well, this is a fine time to tell me.
00:25:13Oh, I know I've been a fool.
00:25:15I let you buy me.
00:25:16Yeah, buy me, but you can't own me.
00:25:18Well, you needn't shout the house down.
00:25:19I was in love, did you know that?
00:25:21With a girl of my own kind, a newspaper girl.
00:25:23A woman, not a social adornment.
00:25:25Then why didn't you think of that before our engagement?
00:25:27Because I was lit to the eyes the night I phoned you.
00:25:29I wanted to get even with you for having me fired.
00:25:31You were sober enough when you married me.
00:25:33Oh, don't worry.
00:25:34I'll stick around long enough to save your pride.
00:25:36If you have any, which I doubt.
00:25:38You can divorce me.
00:25:39Say I cheated.
00:25:40I'd beat you.
00:25:41Anything you like.
00:25:42Ross, please.
00:25:43Oh, let me alone.
00:25:44You asked me to marry you and I've done it.
00:25:46But you'll never be my wife, get that?
00:25:48You've spoiled my life.
00:25:49And you've spoiled mine.
00:25:50You've taken away my happiness.
00:25:52I loved and respected you.
00:25:54Because I thought you were a man.
00:25:56You're not a man.
00:25:57You're just a spineless jellyfish.
00:25:59Unable to face any situation squarely.
00:26:01Messing up lives because you can't say no.
00:26:05If it weren't that a scandal would hurt Dad so,
00:26:07I'd tell you to get out right now.
00:26:10You're right, Ross.
00:26:11I'll never be your wife.
00:26:13Never.
00:26:40Here.
00:26:41Let me.
00:26:54Ha!
00:26:55The touch of a woman's hand.
00:26:57Mark her mission.
00:27:15Half of these are yours, miss.
00:27:16Or is it miss's?
00:27:17Miss.
00:27:18Very much so.
00:27:19Keep them.
00:27:20Well, how about a drink, then?
00:27:21Why not?
00:27:25Waiter.
00:27:29How about that?
00:27:30What's the matter?
00:27:31Don't you like my taste in music?
00:27:32I think it's terrible.
00:27:33Happened to be the first thing I ever wrote.
00:27:35It's awful.
00:27:38Then you're Pete Maitland.
00:27:41Park Avenue's musical playboy.
00:27:43Mm-hmm.
00:27:44And you?
00:27:45Kay Duncan.
00:27:47Park Row's unmusical playgirl.
00:27:49At the moment, drinking herself into the gutter.
00:27:51What do you have, folks?
00:27:52A beer.
00:27:53Oh, it'll take years on beer.
00:27:55The longer to suffer, my dear, replied little orphan Danny.
00:27:57Don't tell me you've been crossed in love.
00:27:59Crossed and double crossed.
00:28:01Move over.
00:28:03You too?
00:28:04What's the matter?
00:28:05Can't you find your own gutter?
00:28:06Well, any gutter that's good enough for you is good enough for me.
00:28:08Anything else?
00:28:09How about some ham and eggs?
00:28:11Not here.
00:28:12Harry's eggs are very high tone.
00:28:14They came over on the Mayflower.
00:28:28Come and get it.
00:28:47Lock machine fixer and tune repairer.
00:28:49If you could only cook.
00:28:51I can.
00:28:52Well, eggs anyway.
00:28:54Anything else you do?
00:28:56Nothing to speak of.
00:29:03I'm sorry.
00:29:04I shouldn't have done that.
00:29:06You didn't hear me yelling for help, did you?
00:29:08Oh, I know.
00:29:09You're on the rebound.
00:29:10You're a cad, sir.
00:29:12Do you realize you've let the eggs I cooked for you with my own clever little hands get cold?
00:29:17Mm-hmm.
00:29:18Well, still, probably they weren't so hot after all.
00:29:22Well, what do you want?
00:29:27I thought you might like some breakfast.
00:29:29Oh, no thanks.
00:29:31I'll get something to eat later downstairs.
00:29:37Ross.
00:29:43What's up?
00:29:44Oh, nothing.
00:29:45Nothing.
00:29:46Nothing.
00:29:47Nothing.
00:29:48Nothing.
00:29:50Oh.
00:29:52I see you're the early bird, huh?
00:29:54Come to step on the worm first thing in the morning.
00:29:57Ross, you're really being rather hateful.
00:29:59You promised to keep up appearances, you know.
00:30:02Please have breakfast with me.
00:30:05Oh, okay.
00:30:06Tell them to serve it in here.
00:30:08I've already ordered it.
00:30:13I'm sorry about last night, but that's how it is.
00:30:16I'm sorry, too.
00:30:17I don't want you to be unhappy.
00:30:19I never did.
00:30:20Oh, well, skip it.
00:30:21We're in it.
00:30:22We might as well make the best of it.
00:30:24I'll fix it so it won't be for long.
00:30:26But as long as we're married, there's no law against our being friends.
00:30:29You're a good sport, baby.
00:30:31Now, beat it out of here while I get dressed, huh?
00:30:33All the best bridegrooms are eating breakfast in their pajamas this year.
00:30:37Thanks.
00:30:38Oh, well, that's not a bad idea.
00:30:40But turn the maidenly gaze while I put on my slippers.
00:30:43All good wives put their husband's slippers on for them.
00:30:46I know.
00:30:47I've read the facts of life in Elsie Dinsmore.
00:30:49Dear little Elsie.
00:30:50I wonder who she married.
00:30:51I haven't heard from her in years.
00:30:53Men.
00:30:54No, not yet.
00:30:58What's the big idea?
00:30:59Keeping up appearances.
00:31:02Come in.
00:31:07We'll have breakfast in bed.
00:31:14One lump, darling?
00:31:16Two, please.
00:31:27You know, I think I'll get some of those white ducks.
00:31:29I've always wanted them.
00:31:30Get a pair, then we'll have little ones.
00:31:32You idiot.
00:31:34Oh, look, I got a present for you.
00:31:38Oh, you darling.
00:31:39Just what I needed.
00:31:41Oh, now, wait a minute.
00:31:42It does stunts.
00:31:50Nice work for a poor boy.
00:31:52Yeah, out of the bread line and into the gravy.
00:31:54He earned it.
00:31:55Don't forget, he's got to live with it.
00:31:58Well, that's no hardship.
00:31:59I could go for him myself.
00:32:03No, don't.
00:32:04You don't think I'm going to let him get away with it,
00:32:06consulting you?
00:32:07Oh, please don't make a scene.
00:32:08What do they matter?
00:32:09I heard what you said about my wife.
00:32:11And so did everyone else.
00:32:13Don't you think an apology is in order?
00:32:15You don't have to take any lip from him, Charlie.
00:32:18Just because he's some rich dame's pet monkey
00:32:20don't keep you from busting him one.
00:32:22If you get out of here, I'll call a cop,
00:32:24you cheap money-marrying chiseler.
00:32:30Gentlemen, gentlemen.
00:32:31Please.
00:32:32This man insulted my wife.
00:32:34I'm sorry, but I have to ask you to leave here.
00:32:37I'm sorry, Gloria.
00:32:39About making a scene, I mean.
00:32:41It's what I might have expected
00:32:42from a man with friends like yours.
00:32:45What are you talking about?
00:32:47That ex-sweetheart of yours
00:32:48writes for this paper, doesn't she?
00:32:51Well, yes.
00:32:52Why?
00:32:53Well, take a look at that.
00:32:55It's a good one.
00:32:56It's a good one.
00:32:57It's a good one.
00:32:58It's a good one.
00:32:59It's a good one.
00:33:00It's a good one.
00:33:01It's a good one.
00:33:02It's a good one.
00:33:03It's a good one.
00:33:04It's a good one.
00:33:05Well, take a look at that.
00:33:15Well, Kay wouldn't...
00:33:16Well, she couldn't write a thing like that.
00:33:18No?
00:33:19Then how did they get your picture?
00:33:20To Kay with love.
00:33:23Well, I gave her that.
00:33:25And the story, too.
00:33:26How I had you fired,
00:33:27proposed to you,
00:33:28all the pretty little details.
00:33:29Not only about me,
00:33:30but about you and her.
00:33:31Her love in a cottage
00:33:33with a struggling reporter
00:33:34until a siren in satin
00:33:35lured him away.
00:33:37Siren in satin?
00:33:39No, Kay couldn't write a line
00:33:40as terrible as that.
00:33:41Stop quibbling.
00:33:42Who did write it then?
00:33:45Why, you wrote it.
00:33:47You've been moaning for weeks
00:33:48about living off me,
00:33:49how you wanted to earn
00:33:50some money on your own.
00:33:52Oh, but, Gloria, I...
00:33:53If that's your way of earning money,
00:33:54then you're even worse
00:33:55than I thought you were.
00:34:05Mama forgot to turn off the milkman.
00:34:08Got a match key?
00:34:10No.
00:34:14Voila!
00:34:35You're inviting bagels,
00:34:36my darling.
00:34:37Why don't you invite them
00:34:38over to your place sometime?
00:34:39They could steal tomato,
00:34:40that Japanese valley of yours.
00:34:42Then who'd save me
00:34:43my breakfast in bed?
00:34:45The same person
00:34:46that did it all weekend.
00:34:47Me.
00:34:51No regrets?
00:34:53What do you think?
00:34:54I think you're amazing.
00:34:56Just because I took you
00:34:57at face value
00:34:58and didn't ask you
00:34:59a lot of questions
00:35:00about your previous loves?
00:35:01Well, I don't think
00:35:02I asked you a lot of questions
00:35:03about your previous loves.
00:35:04Well, maybe it's just
00:35:05as well that you didn't.
00:35:06Perhaps I was afraid
00:35:07you might ask me
00:35:08about my lurid past.
00:35:09I'm no fool.
00:35:20Well, that's funny.
00:35:21What is?
00:35:23Those burglars must have
00:35:24decided to go slumming.
00:35:25They've apparently been here.
00:35:27You've been robbed?
00:35:28Oh, it doesn't matter.
00:35:29It was just a picture.
00:35:30It's of no value.
00:35:32Lovely thing, scandal sheets.
00:35:34You're liable to find
00:35:35your friends in them anytime.
00:35:38Let me see that.
00:35:46What's the matter?
00:35:48Ross Graham was the man
00:35:49I was engaged to.
00:35:51And that's the picture
00:35:52that was stolen from the frame.
00:35:53What a coincidence.
00:35:55Gloria Endicott was the girl
00:35:56I was in love with.
00:35:57Stuffy little world, isn't it?
00:35:58Oh, but that isn't
00:35:59the point.
00:36:01He'll think I wrote that
00:36:02because he jilted me.
00:36:03Write him and tell him
00:36:04you don't know how
00:36:05they got the story
00:36:06or the picture.
00:36:07Oh, but that woman.
00:36:08She'll think I'm a jealous,
00:36:09spiteful little beast.
00:36:10I doubt that.
00:36:11She's a pretty good egg.
00:36:15Meow!
00:36:17Oh, you fool.
00:36:18Come in.
00:36:20All of us kittens?
00:36:21Come on, kitty, kitty, kitty.
00:36:22Come, come.
00:36:23We thought you two
00:36:24might like to go over
00:36:25to Harry's and bend the elbow.
00:36:26Oh, thanks.
00:36:27We've just come in ourselves.
00:36:28No party?
00:36:29No party.
00:36:30That's just what
00:36:31I was afraid of.
00:36:32So I brought the party
00:36:33along with me.
00:36:34Let me have your thing.
00:36:35How's the air
00:36:36to the Harvey Millions?
00:36:37No air and no millions.
00:36:38Hey, hey, keep religion
00:36:39out of this, will you?
00:36:40Where's the caution, Kay?
00:36:41Oh, I'll find it for you.
00:36:42Come, come.
00:36:43Hey, Pete,
00:36:44how's the songwriting going?
00:36:45Well, I expect to be
00:36:46arrested any minute now
00:36:47for issuing false notes.
00:36:48Say, you look like
00:36:49you've been working very hard.
00:36:50Well, a fellow's lucky
00:36:51nowadays to have
00:36:52any kind of a job.
00:36:53Come on, kitties,
00:36:54come get it.
00:36:55Come on, let's get it in.
00:36:56Oh, this tastes good, sir.
00:36:58Hey, who wants white rock?
00:36:59I want white rock.
00:37:00Carla!
00:37:01Coming.
00:37:03Well, may we never get
00:37:04what's coming to us.
00:37:07How about some music, Pete?
00:37:08Come on, boy.
00:37:09Come on, play us your latest.
00:37:28All right, I borrowed it.
00:37:30What about it?
00:37:32And the story, too?
00:37:34Yes, I wrote it,
00:37:35and I'm glad of it.
00:37:37Ross jilted my best friend,
00:37:38and I wanted to hurt him.
00:37:40Like he hurt you.
00:37:42Carla, you couldn't.
00:37:43Oh, couldn't I, though?
00:37:45I got the dope from Ted.
00:37:47I knew you'd never
00:37:48try it again, even so I did.
00:37:50And I'd do it again.
00:37:52I hate him.
00:37:54Now that that's
00:37:55out of my system,
00:37:56somebody give me a drink.
00:37:57Ah, that calls for little Ted.
00:38:07Well, well, who are you?
00:38:10The original sleeping beauty?
00:38:13Well, if you must know,
00:38:14I'm Little Red Riding Hood.
00:38:16And you?
00:38:18I'm the wolf.
00:38:20Oh, charming.
00:38:23There he is.
00:38:24Hi, Ross.
00:38:27Excuse me.
00:38:38I see why you can't ride with us.
00:38:40Sorry to interrupt your playwriting.
00:38:43Oh, it's a pleasure.
00:38:45Who's the gorgeous blonde?
00:38:47Oh, no one in particular,
00:38:48just a girl.
00:38:49It's quite obvious what she is.
00:38:50I can see that from here.
00:38:51Now, you love Virgin Musk and Twall,
00:38:53first time hubby looks at a blonde,
00:38:55and what a blonde.
00:38:56Come on, let's leave the newlyweds
00:38:57to kiss and make up.
00:38:59See you later.
00:39:03Ross, what do you mean
00:39:04by being seen with a person like that?
00:39:05What do you mean,
00:39:06by bawling me out in public?
00:39:07You don't seem to mind
00:39:08being seen in public
00:39:09with a creature like that.
00:39:10Well, what's the matter with her?
00:39:11At least she's human.
00:39:12That's more than I can say
00:39:13for your high-hatted friends
00:39:14that have been high-toning me
00:39:15ever since I've been here.
00:39:16If you like her so much,
00:39:17go back to her.
00:39:26Was that your wife?
00:39:28Was and is.
00:39:41Gee, your wife surely can ride.
00:39:43Gloria.
00:40:14She's asleep now.
00:40:16She'll be all right.
00:40:18Just a shock.
00:40:32Gloria.
00:40:35Gloria.
00:40:37Gloria.
00:40:39Gloria.
00:40:41Gloria.
00:40:43Gloria.
00:40:48This will quiet her nerves.
00:41:14That's bad.
00:41:15Best thing that could happen
00:41:16might make a man of him.
00:41:17I'm talking about
00:41:18this bank failure in Ohio.
00:41:19What do you care?
00:41:20You don't bank with them.
00:41:22I have enough trouble
00:41:23keeping one account open.
00:41:24Well, don't tell me
00:41:25you have a bank account,
00:41:26checkbook, three blotters
00:41:27and everything.
00:41:28That old man Endicott's bank,
00:41:29Harvey believes it's
00:41:30toting up to the boss.
00:41:31Like Ross, eh?
00:41:32Nothing of a sort.
00:41:33Endicott's bank
00:41:34happens to be
00:41:35the safest one I know.
00:41:36Well, if the old man's bank falls,
00:41:38the Claren will fall with it.
00:41:40You don't think?
00:41:41Uh-uh.
00:41:42But the safest thing to do
00:41:43is what I do.
00:41:44Spend all your dough
00:41:45at Harry's place.
00:41:46Who's for a drink?
00:41:47Me, but we got Dutch.
00:41:48You're telling me.
00:41:49Harvey?
00:41:50I gotta work.
00:41:51I gotta get out
00:41:52Moffat's column.
00:41:53He's on a vacation.
00:41:54Not your hard luck, pal.
00:41:55Let's go.
00:41:56Copy, boys.
00:41:57Boys, come on,
00:41:58wake up, will you?
00:41:59Copy.
00:42:13Well, that's that.
00:42:14What do you think of it?
00:42:15Mama thinks everything
00:42:16Papa writes is swell.
00:42:17Well, I hope
00:42:18the publishers think so.
00:42:19The old bank balance
00:42:20ain't what it used to be.
00:42:21Ain't what it used to be.
00:42:22Hello?
00:42:23Oh, hello.
00:42:24How are you?
00:42:25Yes, Kay Duncan's place.
00:42:26Well, I left the number
00:42:27with Tomato
00:42:28in case the police phoned.
00:42:29Oh, I see.
00:42:30I'm sorry.
00:42:31I'm sorry.
00:42:32I'm sorry.
00:42:33I'm sorry.
00:42:34I'm sorry.
00:42:35I'm sorry.
00:42:36I'm sorry.
00:42:37I'm sorry.
00:42:38I'm sorry.
00:42:39I'm sorry.
00:42:40I'm sorry.
00:42:42Well, I suppose I can.
00:42:44See you later.
00:42:46All right.
00:42:47Goodbye.
00:42:48And you never even
00:42:50mentioned her name once.
00:42:51Bright boy.
00:42:52It was Gloria.
00:42:53She wants me to
00:42:54come up and see her.
00:42:55Do you mind?
00:42:56Oh, of course not.
00:42:57She may want me
00:42:58to take her out.
00:42:59Mm, and very nice too.
00:43:00Oh, I wish things
00:43:01were more subtle
00:43:02and my income
00:43:03a bit more certain.
00:43:04I like uncertain incomes.
00:43:05They're so uncertain.
00:43:08Oh, I'm getting tired
00:43:10sort of stuff, hiding in the bathtub, concealing you in the goldfish bowl every time someone
00:43:14unexpectedly appears.
00:43:16I like sneaking about. It gives me glamour.
00:43:18She gave you the air kind of early, didn't she?
00:43:35Ross!
00:43:36Kay, I've been such a fool. I ought to get her on my knees and grovel to you.
00:43:47I hate grovel. We had a grovel walk at home. It was always getting in my shoes.
00:43:50Well, what's the matter?
00:43:54Oh, everything's gone wrong.
00:43:58Tell Mama all about it. No soap?
00:44:02No soap. I got sore the first night and told her all about everything. About my being in
00:44:07love with you and that I didn't want to have anything to do with her.
00:44:10Oh, Ross.
00:44:11The whole thing's been a farce. Of course, I felt differently after the accident. I tried
00:44:16to let her see it, but she was still sore because she was humiliated. That confounded
00:44:22indicate pride of hers.
00:44:24And now?
00:44:25Well, next week I'm moving in with Bill Harvey. Now, mind you, it's probably just as much
00:44:29my fault as hers, but, well, marriages will go on the rocks.
00:44:33Mine won't.
00:44:34Yes, it's a wedding ring. And it isn't borrowed this time.
00:44:45You mean you're... you're married?
00:44:48Yes, Ross.
00:44:49Oh, then there was a Jim Henderson.
00:44:52No. Jim Henderson wasn't real. But Pete Maitland is. Very real.
00:44:57Oh, well, that's swell. Pete's a grand guy. Well, how come we didn't hear about it?
00:45:06My editor isn't crazy about having married women on the staff. Must have been scared
00:45:10by one in his early infancy.
00:45:11Well, who'd want to marry a tabloid editor?
00:45:17I didn't write that story, Ross. You know, the one about you and Gloria Andikup.
00:45:21Oh, that. Well, we never thought you did.
00:45:25Thanks.
00:45:27Are they keeping you busy?
00:45:28Oh, so-so. And you?
00:45:30Oh, well, I've turned down a couple of jobs. Working on my play, you know. Well, I'd better
00:45:36blow. Never do to be caught by a jealous husband.
00:45:39Do come back. I'll always be here, especially if you ever need anything.
00:45:44Give my best to Pete, the lucky stiff.
00:45:46Oh, nobody know the trouble I see. Nobody. Mr. Ross, you all gone away?
00:46:05Yes, Emma.
00:46:07You'll be back, though, for dinner. Fried chicken.
00:46:10No, I'm leaving.
00:46:12You don't mean leaving for good.
00:46:14I'm afraid so. Here.
00:46:18No, Mr. Ross, I couldn't. Thanks just the same. You can't go off like this, Mr. Ross.
00:46:24Who's going to stay home every evening and play cribbage with Mr. Andikup?
00:46:27I guess you'll have to, Emma.
00:46:28He won't play with me. Says I cheat.
00:46:31I'll tell you a secret. So does he.
00:46:33What about Miss Gloria?
00:46:35Take good care of her. You will, won't you?
00:46:37I've done it ever since she's born, ain't I?
00:46:39Goodbye, Emma. And good luck.
00:46:41Don't go, Mr. Ross. Please don't go.
00:46:44Miss Gloria's out, but Mr. Andikup's in.
00:46:47Ain't you going to say goodbye to him?
00:46:49No. I like him so much, I'd rather not face him.
00:46:53And I don't want you to tell him I've gone.
00:46:55He's worried enough as it is about business.
00:46:57Yes, sir. I won't say nothing to him about you leaving.
00:47:00Promise?
00:47:01May the Lord strike me down dead by so much as...
00:47:22Mr. Andikup, wake up.
00:47:24Mr. Ross doesn't laugh.
00:47:26I tried to stop him, but...
00:47:32Mr. Ross? Mr. Ross!
00:47:34Mr. Ross!
00:47:42Quiet!
00:47:44You'll wake up old-timer.
00:47:46Not yet.
00:47:47That stone crush you're pounding will wake the dead.
00:47:50He's used to this. It rocks him to sleep.
00:47:56Well, that finishes Moffat's column.
00:47:59At the rate you've been going, I guess you'll be glad when Moffat gets back, huh?
00:48:03In a pig's eye. I have two mouths to feed.
00:48:06Three now, including me.
00:48:08But I'll make it up to you.
00:48:10If I can ever land a job or finish this play.
00:48:14You've got a job. Taking care of old-timer, room and board.
00:48:18Yes, ma'am.
00:48:20I'll write down what you're to feed him when I'm away.
00:48:23You don't have to be telling me that.
00:48:25You're me who's raised 17 of me own.
00:48:28And mind you, no entertaining the policeman in the kitchen.
00:48:32Say, what do I do if he starts yelling?
00:48:34We'll find out if there's a pin sticking him.
00:48:36If there is, take it out.
00:48:40Yes, ma'am.
00:48:44Hey, that's one of my creditors. Tell him I've gone to China.
00:48:47Hello?
00:48:49Yes?
00:48:50Ross, it's for you.
00:48:54Hello?
00:48:56Hello?
00:48:58Oh, yes, Mr. Baxter.
00:49:01Well, of course, if it's important.
00:49:04Yeah.
00:49:06Lawyer's lawyer. I know what that means.
00:49:08Don't wait up for me.
00:49:13The coroner says you do his best to keep the newspapers from stating
00:49:17how your father met his end.
00:49:20Oh, poor dad.
00:49:22Why did he have to do it?
00:49:24Don't you dare now, honey lamb.
00:49:26Don't cry.
00:49:29You see, if it were known, there'd probably be a run on the bank.
00:49:32For weeks, he's barely been able to keep the doors open as it is.
00:49:37When's things that bad, Mr. Baxter?
00:49:40Your father left practically nothing.
00:49:42$2,000, to be exact.
00:49:44To be equally divided between you and your husband.
00:49:48This house, the stables, the country estate, everything.
00:49:52Mortgage to the hilt.
00:49:55Mr. Baxter, I want you to do me a favor.
00:49:59When Ross comes, don't tell him that father killed himself.
00:50:04Or that he left so little.
00:50:06I will if you wish it, my dear.
00:50:09He had such faith in dad.
00:50:11I see.
00:50:13Emma, please ask Harrison to come here.
00:50:17Yes, ma'am, Miss Gloria.
00:50:22I wish he could have left you a little more secure.
00:50:25Oh, I'll be all right.
00:50:27I can sketch a little, and fashion artists sometimes get as much as...
00:50:33Harrison, I'm sorry, but I've got to give you an Emma notice.
00:50:37I've got to economize.
00:50:39Not me, Miss Gloria. I stays right with you.
00:50:42Pay or no pay.
00:50:45I'd like to, too, Miss, but I have a wife and child.
00:50:48Oh, of course, Harrison, I understand.
00:50:53Where's Mr. Baxter?
00:50:54He's in the study, sir.
00:50:56Thanks.
00:50:57Yes, sir.
00:51:00Hello?
00:51:04Anything wrong?
00:51:07Father is dead.
00:51:09What?
00:51:12Well, how did it happen?
00:51:14Heart attack.
00:51:17What?
00:51:19Heart attack.
00:51:24Oh, gee.
00:51:26He was such a grand person.
00:51:29He thought very highly of you, too.
00:51:31He left you a little remembrance.
00:51:34Miss Gloria, is there anything I can do?
00:51:37No, thanks.
00:51:39I'll be outside if you want me.
00:51:42No, there's nothing, really.
00:51:44Of course, the estate's dwindled a bit, but...
00:51:47With a thousand, a month, I mean, that Dad left me,
00:51:50I ought to be able to make out.
00:51:52But I couldn't live here.
00:51:55I think Emma and I will get a small apartment.
00:51:58Gloria, I've practically been promised a job.
00:52:02Movie critic on the star at a swell salary.
00:52:04I'm so glad.
00:52:06Well, I mean,
00:52:09couldn't you and I take the little apartment instead of you and Emma?
00:52:14No, Ross, I'm afraid not.
00:52:16I don't want you to come back to me just because you're sorry for me.
00:52:19Well, it isn't that exactly.
00:52:21I don't want pity either.
00:52:23Oh, Gloria, please.
00:52:24Oh, please go away.
00:52:46Nom, nom, nom.
00:52:48Nom, nom, nom, nom, nom.
00:53:05Yes?
00:53:07Yes, this is Bill Harvey.
00:53:09Got some good news for you, Bill.
00:53:11A rush assignment.
00:53:12A chance to distinguish yourself.
00:53:14The Endicott Bank has folded.
00:53:18The...
00:53:19The Endicott Bank?
00:53:21Yeah.
00:53:22There's a mob down there storming the place right now.
00:53:25You hop down there and get a flock of human interest yarns.
00:53:28How it feels to be wiped out.
00:53:30Depositors' reaction on losing their life savings.
00:53:34You get the idea.
00:53:36Sure.
00:53:37I get the idea perfectly.
00:53:39Good. Hop to it.
00:53:45I can write this story.
00:53:47You see, all the money I had was in that bank.
00:53:53And now it's gone.
00:53:54Five years of savings.
00:53:56And you...
00:53:58You want me...
00:53:59You want me to write the story.
00:54:01How it feels.
00:54:15Harvey.
00:54:29What's the matter, old...
00:54:35Hey, Harvey.
00:54:36Harvey, wake up.
00:54:45Hello, operator.
00:54:47Send an ambulance right away.
00:54:49Apartment 4A, 22 Grove Street.
00:54:51Right.
00:55:03Like it?
00:55:04I wish I didn't.
00:55:06You see, it's like this.
00:55:08Now that the Christmas campaigns are over...
00:55:11Well, I haven't enough work for all of you and...
00:55:14And I being the last taken on...
00:55:17I understand, Miss Warren.
00:55:19Thank you, my dear.
00:55:20In a way, I'm glad it's you and not some of the others.
00:55:23I mean, you're not absolutely dependent on your salary as they are.
00:55:27Of course not.
00:55:28The last thing Dad did before he died was to see that I was well taken care of.
00:55:32In the spring, when things pick up.
00:55:35Thanks.
00:55:41You're welcome.
00:56:12What'll you wear this morning, Miss Gloria?
00:56:14You know darn well what I'll wear.
00:56:16The same one I've worn for the last six weeks.
00:56:18I hate to see you going out every morning looking for work.
00:56:22How else can I maintain these sumptuous quarters and my large retinue of servants?
00:56:26I ain't no retinue.
00:56:28I's Ethiopian.
00:56:29And I hate to see you looking for work.
00:56:32But I like it.
00:56:34Now stop being a sourpuss or you'll get no Christmas present.
00:56:39Now stop being a sourpuss or you'll get no Christmas present.
00:56:42Yes.
00:56:44Yes?
00:57:08I wonder if you'd mind if I look through the house.
00:57:11You see, I used to live here.
00:57:13You ain't Gloria Endicott.
00:57:15I was.
00:57:17Oh.
00:57:18Well, step right in.
00:57:43That used to be my father's study.
00:58:13Goodbye.
00:58:22And thank you.
00:58:23Thank you, Miss.
00:58:25And good luck.
00:58:50Emma.
00:58:51Emma.
00:58:52Yasu.
00:58:53Emma.
00:58:54Do you think you could fix a nice little dinner for two tonight?
00:58:57I might if it's for you and Mr. Rose.
00:59:00I'm going to invite him.
00:59:01Emma, I want you to see that he gets this.
00:59:04Yes, ma'am, Miss Gloria.
00:59:08Maybe that's him now.
00:59:16Good afternoon, Mr. Baxter.
00:59:17Hello, Emma.
00:59:19Gloria, my dear, how are you?
00:59:21Now tell me.
00:59:23How's the new job going?
00:59:24No job.
00:59:25No job?
00:59:26Fired.
00:59:27Oh, I am sorry.
00:59:29Oh, it's all right.
00:59:30I'll get another one.
00:59:31And how are things with you?
00:59:33Well, I'm having a little trouble finding a buyer for your house.
00:59:37I wish I could afford to live in it again.
00:59:39I stopped in some time ago and, oh, it looked so lonely.
00:59:45Gloria, why don't you let bygones be bygones and patch it up with Ross?
00:59:52How would it be if I had myself delivered as a Christmas present
00:59:55wrapped up in a carpet like Cleopatra?
00:59:57Oh, I shouldn't wear a carpet if I were you.
00:59:59Why, Mr. Baxter?
01:00:01I mean, you might find it a bit chilly.
01:00:13Now you feel better, young fellow?
01:00:15Now look, your Pop will be coming home in a few weeks.
01:00:18What are you going to say to him?
01:00:24Wise guy, huh?
01:00:25So you won't talk.
01:00:34Now what do you say we go for a spin, old timer?
01:00:37I think we'd better take the town car, don't you?
01:00:47Thanks for coming.
01:00:48Thank you for letting me.
01:00:50And think over what I said.
01:00:51About you and Ross, I mean.
01:00:53Goodbye, my dear.
01:00:54Goodbye.
01:01:14Goodbye.
01:01:41What time do you all want dinner served, Miss Gloria?
01:01:49I'm afraid dinner's off, Emma.
01:01:51No, wait.
01:01:55Telegraph for Miss Emma Garber.
01:02:00It's for you, Emma.
01:02:03What's it say?
01:02:04I ain't got my specs.
01:02:13It's from a doctor in Florida.
01:02:15He says your sister's very sick and wants you to come to her.
01:02:18All the way to Florida?
01:02:19That costs money.
01:02:20$35.
01:02:22What of it?
01:02:26Here's a check for $35.
01:02:30They'll cash it for you at the drugstore.
01:02:32I hate to leave you like this, Miss Gloria.
01:02:35You go on and take care of your sister.
01:02:37Don't worry about me.
01:02:38I'll be all right.
01:02:39Yes, ma'am.
01:02:59I'll be right back.
01:03:27I'll be right back.
01:03:56Say, are you here again?
01:04:08I'm sorry.
01:04:10Has Mr. Graham been here?
01:04:12No, he ain't.
01:04:13I've been telling you that every day for a week.
01:04:15I run along and beat it and don't bother me.
01:04:27Here, kid, here.
01:04:28Sit down.
01:04:40Here, honey.
01:04:41Drink some of this.
01:04:43How do you know it isn't something contagious?
01:04:45Well, I don't.
01:04:47But I have an idea.
01:04:48It's malnutrition.
01:04:49Good job, too.
01:05:13Hello, Doc.
01:05:14Say, I got a couple of patients for you.
01:05:16One's nutty and the other's suffering from starvation.
01:05:19I'll pay for the second one.
01:05:22460 West 9th Street.
01:05:24Yeah, step on it.
01:05:29Well, that's that.
01:05:41Ross, come in.
01:05:45Well, you look positively maternal.
01:05:50Well, hello, old-timer.
01:06:00Oh, you clever old darling, learning to speak all by yourself.
01:06:04Oh, don't be silly.
01:06:05It took me weeks to teach him.
01:06:08Where you been keeping yourself?
01:06:09Stanford, Greenwich, Hoboken, all the dog towns you ever heard of.
01:06:13You don't mean they're doing your show?
01:06:15Looks like it's going to be a hit.
01:06:16Oh, how marvelous.
01:06:18But what did you do with His Highness here?
01:06:20Well, I took him with me.
01:06:21And what a mascot.
01:06:23No wonder I couldn't reach you.
01:06:25I've been phoning your flat for days.
01:06:27Oh, anything important?
01:06:29Oh, I don't suppose a big shot playwright like you would consider it so, but...
01:06:35Your wife nearly died of starvation.
01:06:38What?
01:06:39Where is she?
01:06:40She's all right now.
01:06:42She just stepped out for a minute.
01:06:45You mean she's living here with you?
01:06:48You'll remember me.
01:06:49Big-hearted Kay.
01:06:51Oh, gee, that's decent of you, Kay.
01:06:54But I can't understand it.
01:06:55Starvation?
01:06:56Well, she has an income, a thousand a month.
01:06:58Yeah, sure.
01:06:59Just like I had at Jim Henderson.
01:07:02Woman's pride, my lad.
01:07:05What a day.
01:07:08Listen, Harvey gets out of the sanitarium today.
01:07:11He said at the flat that we'd be here.
01:07:12You take care of the kid until I get back, will you?
01:07:14Aren't you going to wait and see Gloria?
01:07:16No, I can't.
01:07:17I just thought of something.
01:07:24Listen, old-timer, can you say, Ross is a heel?
01:07:28Why?
01:07:35One-track mind, eh?
01:07:43Look whom I met on the stairs.
01:07:44Well, hello, Harvey.
01:07:46Hello, old-timer.
01:07:48Look what I've got.
01:07:55Did you hear that?
01:07:56The little son of a gun recognizes me.
01:07:58It's amazing.
01:07:59First time he ever said that.
01:08:01Some tea?
01:08:02I'd love some.
01:08:03Harvey?
01:08:04Huh?
01:08:05Tea?
01:08:06Oh, thanks, yes.
01:08:07We'll take some tea.
01:08:10So Ross brought you down to visit Kay, huh?
01:08:14Ross?
01:08:15He's been here?
01:08:17He wanted to wait and see you.
01:08:20Really, he did.
01:08:32I don't think I want any tea.
01:08:34I think I'll go out.
01:08:42Well, of course Kay's a peach.
01:08:44All the girls I've ever loved are peaches.
01:08:46Then why drag me away from a house like this?
01:08:49Because you're going to live with me and like it.
01:08:51You haven't seen my new place, have you?
01:08:53No.
01:08:54Well, here we are.
01:08:57Hollywood's bought the picture rights to my play.
01:08:59I've got to have a house to live in, haven't I?
01:09:02What do you think I've been doing all afternoon?
01:09:08Welcome home, Miss Gloria.
01:09:12Emma!
