00:00:00♪♪
00:00:20♪♪
00:00:48Wake up, you sleepyhead! Get up!
00:00:50Huh?
00:00:52Have you forgotten what day this is?
00:00:56What day this is?
00:00:59Gee whiz, what time is it? Have I missed my train?
00:01:01No, but you'll miss a nice hot breakfast if you don't hurry down.
00:01:04Okay, Ma, I'm a-practicing through my third batch of flapjacks right now!
00:01:08Fine!
00:01:12Small flapjacks, son?
00:01:14What do you want to do, Ma?
00:01:15You want to make McNeil and Jones the stuffed engineer?
00:01:18Maybe you won't be able to eat so well in the city.
00:01:21Well, of all I can see, I bet there's a hundred cooks as good as you in the city, almost.
00:01:25But they won't care whether you eat or not like I do.
00:01:28Oh, don't think I haven't appreciated all you've done for me since Pa died.
00:01:32Why, I haven't done anything, Johnny.
00:01:34No, nothing.
00:01:36Nothing except spend every cent of the insurance Pa left you for my education.
00:01:40Nothing except years of hard work and a whacking big slice out of your life to make my life easier.
00:01:46You, uh, you'd better get ready for the train.
00:01:49Hey, now, now, somebody think you're anxious to see me go?
00:01:53I want you to make good, son.
00:01:55I will, Ma. Before you know it, I'll send for you.
00:01:57I'll build you a house in the city, a palace fit for a queen, twenty rooms and six baths.
00:02:02One is enough for me.
00:02:03All right, one, but I'll go plate it for you.
00:02:06Oh, gee whiz at this time. Come on, get on your hat and coat.
00:02:10I'm not going to the station, son.
00:02:12Why, you are too. Everybody's best girl says goodbye right at the train.
00:02:16I'd rather do it here.
00:02:20Okay, Ma, I understand.
00:02:29Goodbye, Ma.
00:02:31Goodbye, son.
00:02:32Take good care of yourself.
00:02:34I will. And you too, Mother.
00:02:38Now, goodbye.
00:02:47Goodbye, son.
00:03:07Goodbye, son.
00:03:22Working pretty late, aren't you, Frazer?
00:03:24Oh, good evening, Mr. McNeil.
00:03:26I got an idea on that automatic pump job for Franklin Gas,
00:03:29and I thought I'd get it down while it was hot.
00:03:31I see.
00:03:33Does it work, sir?
00:03:34Yes, sir, and makes the flow that much more efficient.
00:03:38How long have you been with us?
00:03:40About two months.
00:03:41Well, that's good work.
00:03:43You keep that up and we'll have to find a better spot for you.
00:03:46Gee, that's swell. I mean, thanks.
00:03:49Good night. And don't you work too late.
00:03:51Oh, good night, sir.
00:04:03© BF-WATCH TV 2021
00:04:33Hey, Frazer.
00:04:34What?
00:04:35It's no use.
00:04:37What's no use?
00:04:42I took special pains to find out.
00:04:45Not one of the two bosses has got a beautiful daughter,
00:04:48and Horatio Alge's been dead for 40 years.
00:04:52So, why work like a mule?
00:04:54I like it.
00:04:56Some fun.
00:04:58You're sticking to your job, aren't you?
00:04:59Yeah, by the skin of my teeth.
00:05:01A fella's got to have a steady stake to fall back on
00:05:03when those ponies don't run right.
00:05:05Ponies?
00:05:06Yeah, old eaters.
00:05:08Hay burners.
00:05:09You know, horses.
00:05:11Cleaned up yesterday.
00:05:13160 bucks from 21.
00:05:16Wow.
00:05:18What do you say, kid?
00:05:20I put five spot for you on the seventh of Pinnacle.
00:05:22I got a hot tip.
00:05:23Oh, thanks.
00:05:25Well, you're a sucker, Frazer.
00:05:26This nag's ripe and he's gonna pay off a 30 to one.
00:05:29Haven't you got somebody like to see you
00:05:31with a roll like this in your pocket?
00:05:33Yeah.
00:05:34What do you say?
00:05:35Five bucks on the nose?
00:05:37For your best girl.
00:05:39Yeah.
00:05:40For my best girl.
00:05:45And now Johnny's been promoted again.
00:05:47Why, he's been made a member of the firm.
00:05:49Practically a partner.
00:05:51I've just had a letter from my Johnny.
00:05:54You know, he's been promoted.
00:05:56He's a partner in the firm now.
00:05:58McNeil and Jones and Frazer.
00:06:01Oh, and he's a mighty good boy, too.
00:06:04He sends me his check every week almost.
00:06:06And I might...
00:06:12You know, I guess people get tired
00:06:14hearing me always talking about my Johnny.
00:06:24Good afternoon, Mr. Frazer.
00:06:26Cut out the Mr. Steve.
00:06:27What's on your mind? I'm busy.
00:06:28I'll say you're busy, busy as a bee.
00:06:31But I notice it's me that brings you most of your honey.
00:06:34Another winner?
00:06:3514 to one.
00:06:37I never did see such a guy for luck.
00:06:40Well, why are you so sad about it?
00:06:42I didn't think it could last.
00:06:45You chose Sally the third to win,
00:06:48so I chose Alexander the first.
00:06:50The third came in first.
00:06:53And the first also ran.
00:06:56Well, I'll split with you.
00:06:57Fair enough.
00:06:58What do you say we celebrate?
00:06:59I can't spare the time.
00:07:00Oh, come on. You work hard all day.
00:07:02Why don't you have some fun at night?
00:07:04Say, when's the last time you got your nose wet
00:07:06or had your arm around a girl?
00:07:08I never have.
00:07:09What?
00:07:10Never.
00:07:11Well, hardly ever.
00:07:13Oh, we gotta change all that.
00:07:15You're meeting me tonight at 7, see?
00:07:17We're gonna have dinner and...
00:07:19Thanks, George.
00:07:20Madeline here yet?
00:07:22She's dressing, sir.
00:07:23Tell her I'll be back to see her later.
00:07:25Yes, sir.
00:07:26Who's Madeline?
00:07:28She's a star of the floor show.
00:07:30Wait till you see her.
00:07:32You're a steady girl?
00:07:33Oh, wish you was.
00:07:34I haven't got enough jack for a joe like her.
00:07:39What'll you have to drink, Johnny?
00:07:47Oh, whatever you have.
00:07:50I'll have a scotch and soda.
00:07:52And tell the bartender who it's for.
00:07:54Tell him not to be so scotch with the scotch.
00:07:57Yes, sir.
00:08:01You'll have to get a tuxedo, John.
00:08:03Oh, this was your idea.
00:08:05Anyway, I can't afford it.
00:08:06I know, I know.
00:08:07It's okay.
00:08:08Besides, nobody will mistake you for a waiter.
00:08:12Well, I'll see you later.
00:08:14I'm going back to say hello to Madeline.
00:08:16Hold the fork.
00:08:17And the scotch.
00:08:22Come in.
00:08:25Oh, it's you.
00:08:27Why the sour puss, sister?
00:08:29You know why.
00:08:30That was a swell tip you handed me.
00:08:33I lost ten bucks.
00:08:34Ah, forget it.
00:08:36There's twenty.
00:08:38Well, mirror, mirror on the wall, is he a right guy after all?
00:08:43I've been trying to tell you that for months, but you wouldn't believe me.
00:08:46Just the same, I've got a sneaking suspicion I have to do something for that extra ten.
00:08:50Not a thing, babe.
00:08:52Except get a new laugh.
00:08:54Uh-uh.
00:08:55There are no new laughs.
00:08:56I've heard them all.
00:08:57Well, you don't hear this one.
00:08:59You see it.
00:09:00Or, rather, him.
00:09:02After your number, I want you to come over and meet Johnny Fraser.
00:09:05Is that the laugh's name?
00:09:06Yeah.
00:09:07But sometimes I think the laugh's on me.
00:09:09Honest, this guy's the luckiest stiff I ever met.
00:09:12He's been in the office only half as long as I have,
00:09:15and he's practically a member of the firm already.
00:09:17He's not a bad looking kid,
00:09:19but he's never had a girl in his life.
00:09:21Sweet 24 and never been kissed.
00:09:24Go away.
00:09:25Hey, Randall, you're late.
00:09:27Coming.
00:09:28Won't you come over to the table later?
00:09:30What'll I have to do, drink milk?
00:09:33Well, I've got a show to do.
00:09:35See you later.
00:09:36Maybe.
00:09:52Welcome home.
00:10:10Why should I listen to your flattery?
00:10:17Whatever you may say sounds false to me
00:10:24and makes me laugh because I know you well.
00:10:32The lies you told to me, how can you tell?
00:10:42You sigh regretfully at your mistake.
00:10:49You say you dream of me all night awake.
00:10:56Why should I care if you spoil the game?
00:11:06You know it best for you are all to blame.
00:11:32Apparently you liked it.
00:11:34Oh, gee, that was beautiful.
00:11:36The song of the girl.
00:11:37Both.
00:11:38And you know her well?
00:11:41Gee, I'd like to meet her.
00:11:44Uh, could you...
00:11:46Well, I tried, Johnny, but she's been brought up very strict,
00:11:50and she doesn't like to meet strangers.
00:11:52That's what I thought.
00:11:53You know, you can sort of tell she's that kind of a girl
00:11:55just by looking at her.
00:11:57You know what I mean.
00:11:58I mean, she...
00:12:00Oh, uh, hello, Madeline.
00:12:02Uh, won't you, uh, join us?
00:12:05I'd love to.
00:12:08Uh, I want you to meet a friend of mine, Mr. Fraser.
00:12:11Uh, Johnny, this is Miss Kirby.
00:12:17Well, uh, what do you say we all sit down?
00:12:21Oh, yeah.
00:12:23Yeah.
00:12:27Do you like dancing, Mr. Fraser?
00:12:28Oh, yes.
00:12:29Well, I'm not very good at it.
00:12:31Perhaps you need a little practice.
00:12:33Would you like to dance with me?
00:12:35Oh, I'm afraid I'll step all over you.
00:12:38I'll take a chance.
00:12:39All right, you asked for it.
00:12:42Uh, what'll you have to drink?
00:12:44A glass of milk.
00:13:01Who is it?
00:13:15Enter, Mr. Fraser.
00:13:18Oh, pardon me.
00:13:25It's all right, Johnny.
00:13:26You can look now.
00:13:27Oh, hand me my dress, will you, darling?
00:13:40Thanks for the flowers, Johnny.
00:13:42Oh, I didn't send them.
00:13:44You didn't?
00:13:46Well, I wonder who they're from.
00:13:48Take a look at the card, Johnny.
00:13:56Oh, they're from Steve.
00:13:58From Steve?
00:14:00That's funny.
00:14:04Jealous?
00:14:06Oh, terribly.
00:14:07Only because I didn't think of it first.
00:14:14Your song was lovely tonight, Madeline.
00:14:32Better than last night?
00:14:33Well, I like it better every time you sing it.
00:14:36You're sweet, Johnny.
00:14:39You think so?
00:14:41I wish I could tell you what I think of you.
00:14:46Do you really like me, Johnny?
00:14:48You want me to prove it?
00:14:50Well?
00:14:52All right.
00:14:53I'll take you to dinner tonight.
00:14:56All right, but not to the automate.
00:14:58Oh, no, no.
00:14:59Some real nice place.
00:15:01Why don't you say we have dinner right here at the club?
00:15:03Suits me.
00:15:04Come on.
00:15:05Oh, those flowers.
00:15:06Aren't you going to wear them?
00:15:13Pretty, aren't they?
00:15:16But they're not from the right man.
00:15:27It's been a lovely supper, Johnny.
00:15:29And as a reward, you may come to the rehearsal of my new show tomorrow.
00:15:33Oh, what time?
00:15:3511 o'clock.
00:15:36I'm afraid I can't.
00:15:37You see, I've been playing hooky from the office pretty often lately, and...
00:15:40Oh, well, don't come if you don't want to.
00:15:42But, darling, I do want to.
00:15:43It's just that I'm behind in my work, and...
00:15:48Oh, to the devil with it.
00:15:49I'll be here.
00:15:50I'm dying to hear you sing that new song.
00:16:03What's the matter?
00:16:04Oh, nothing, nothing.
00:16:05It's all right.
00:16:28Cheer up.
00:16:29Saturday's payday, isn't it?
00:16:30Not for me, it isn't.
00:16:31I've drawn ahead of my salary.
00:16:34Listen, Madeline, I won't be able to take you to that weekend party those friends of yours are giving.
00:16:39I just simply can't afford it.
00:16:41But I've already accepted.
00:16:45Oh, it's all right, Johnny.
00:16:47I'll find someone to take me.
00:16:49Maybe Steve.
00:16:54You're not going to that party with Steve or anybody else?
00:16:57Why not?
00:16:58Because you're going with me.
00:17:00Don't worry.
00:17:01I'll manage it somehow.
00:17:07Here.
00:17:51Well?
00:18:04I just saw both the bookies and they won't wait.
00:18:06They want you 100 and my 60 by tomorrow noon or else.
00:18:08Or else what?
00:18:09Or else somebody will sidle up to you on the street and the first thing you know you'll have a broken arm.
00:18:13Just as a polite reminder.
00:18:15And the second reminder might not be so pleasant.
00:18:18They don't scare me.
00:18:19They might scare you out of your job, though.
00:18:21What do you mean?
00:18:22You know how straight-laced McNeil is.
00:18:24Well, I'll go to him, sure.
00:18:26Then maybe you won't have this nice new office for very long.
00:18:29Not if McNeil and Jones find out their genius was just another playboy.
00:18:34I've racked my brain for days trying to think of something.
00:18:36I even tried to peddle the patents I own on that new type transformer.
00:18:40There's still one way out.
00:18:42What?
00:18:43You're in charge of the Petty Castro.
00:18:44That's enough.
00:18:45You sign a voucher for a lot of new supplies.
00:18:47They won't even miss the extra 200 until the 10th of next month.
00:18:50No.
00:18:51By that time you can recoup.
00:18:52Your luck's bound to turn.
00:18:54Then you can put it back, take out the voucher, and nobody will know anything about it.
00:18:58I won't do it.
00:18:59Well, if you don't, you'll lose your job.
00:19:01I won't do it, I tell you.
00:19:02Okay.
00:19:03If that's the way you feel about it.
00:19:17Okay.
00:19:47Send Fraser in here right away.
00:19:51How much of this did you get?
00:19:53Nothing.
00:19:54Not a cent.
00:19:55I have different information.
00:19:57I know it was you who persuaded him to gamble.
00:20:00You who introduced him to nightlife.
00:20:02Is that a crime?
00:20:03The only crime is that I have not sufficient proof to put you where you belong.
00:20:08Now get out of this office.
00:20:10Get out and stay out.
00:20:12It's okay with me.
00:20:18I suppose you know what I want to see you about.
00:20:21Yes, sir.
00:20:22Just what did Steve Carson have to do with this?
00:20:25Nothing.
00:20:27I'm very disappointed in you, Fraser.
00:20:30I had great hopes of you.
00:20:33I thought we'd found in you the kind of person you are.
00:20:37I'm sorry.
00:20:38I'm sorry.
00:20:39I'm sorry.
00:20:40I'm sorry.
00:20:41I'm sorry.
00:20:42I'm sorry.
00:20:43I'm sorry.
00:20:44I'm sorry.
00:20:45I thought we'd found in you the kind of young blood an old firm like this needs.
00:20:52I'm very glad I found out in time that it was bad blood.
00:20:57This is your man, officer.
00:21:04Sorry, kid, but it looks like you're going to be in there a long time.
00:21:07Unless we can raise some money.
00:21:09Did you see Madeline?
00:21:11Yep.
00:21:12Well?
00:21:13What'd she say?
00:21:14Forget about it, kid.
00:21:15She barely remembered your name.
00:21:18A lady to see you, Fraser.
00:21:21Mom.
00:21:22Johnny.
00:21:23How did you find out?
00:21:25Well, you didn't write.
00:21:27My letters came back, so I came to the city to find you.
00:21:30They told me at the place where you used to work.
00:21:34Mom, I didn't want you to know.
00:21:36Oh, never mind, Johnny.
00:21:38Mr. McNeil just made a mistake.
00:21:40You're not guilty, and he's bound to find it out.
00:21:43You're so sure I'm not guilty?
00:21:45Well, I know my own son, don't I?
00:21:48Now we must find some way to get you out of here.
00:21:50I can get him out okay.
00:21:52All we've got to have is a little money.
00:21:55I've got a lot of connections.
00:21:57Mother, this is Steve Carson, a friend of mine.
00:22:00How do you do, Mr. Carson?
00:22:02How much money would it take?
00:22:06Well, uh...
00:22:08And here's a $200 to repay what you lost through Fraser.
00:22:11I don't want to be too hard on the lad,
00:22:13but he's altogether too clever for his own good.
00:22:15I'm afraid if he gets away with it this time,
00:22:17it will only encourage him to embrace a life of crime.
00:22:20But Fraser's no criminal.
00:22:22If I wasn't sure of that, you think I'd have taken all this trouble
00:22:24to raise the money for him?
00:22:26Well, it's much against my better judgment.
00:22:29But I feel very sorry for the boy's mother.
00:22:31All right.
00:22:33I'll telephone the district attorney and tell him I won't prosecute.
00:22:36Thank you very much, Mr. McNeil.
00:22:38Carson, it was very decent of you to do this for Fraser.
00:22:41I'm afraid I misjudged you.
00:22:44Would you like your old job back?
00:22:46No, Mr. McNeil.
00:22:48I'm making a lot more money.
00:22:50In a new line.
00:22:52So, Mrs. Fraser, I had to spend the whole $2,000 you gave me
00:22:55and a few dollars of my own besides.
00:22:57Well, I have almost $100 left.
00:22:59Won't you let me give you that?
00:23:01Oh, no, Mrs. Fraser, I couldn't think of that.
00:23:03Helping you and Johnny's been a real pleasure.
00:23:05Well, you've certainly been a friend indeed, Mr. Carson.
00:23:08But you promised me not to let Johnny know about me selling the house, won't you?
00:23:12He can depend on that.
00:23:14He'll never know it from me.
00:23:16Well, goodbye.
00:23:18Oh, aren't you going to wait and see Johnny?
00:23:20He'll want to thank you.
00:23:22I was afraid of that.
00:23:24You just tell him I had an appointment and I couldn't wait.
00:23:26Goodbye.
00:23:28Knowing you has done me a lot of good, Mrs. Fraser.
00:23:36Well, how do you like it?
00:23:38It's rather modest.
00:23:40Oh, it's real nice, Ma.
00:23:45Are you sleeping here?
00:23:47Oh, no, you take that room. It doesn't matter.
00:23:49No, no, no, it's better for you.
00:23:51Here, here, stop that. I'm the porter.
00:23:54Now, you sit right down here like that and you tell me where you want things.
00:24:00Oh, I'm sorry.
00:24:02Tell me where you want things.
00:24:05Let me help you.
00:24:07No, no, nothing doing. I'll have it all done in a jiffy.
00:24:11What's this?
00:24:15Oh, my report cards from school.
00:24:17Oh, those are just some things a silly old woman would say.
00:24:20Oh, wait a minute.
00:24:23Dear Ma, I'm leaving here so I won't make any more trouble for Paul.
00:24:27I love you very much. Johnny.
00:24:29That was a long time ago, Johnny.
00:24:33What?
00:24:36Ma, you mean to say you never cashed those checks I sent you?
00:24:39That's right. I never did.
00:24:41To me, they were like the gold stars your teacher used to put on the report cards.
00:24:45200, 240, 270, 300, 330.
00:24:48Wow, we're rich.
00:24:50We're rich, Ma.
00:24:52Oh, boy.
00:24:54Oh, stop it, Johnny. Stop it.
00:24:56Mother, you're an angel.
00:24:58Well, you know, this will hold us over until I can get a job.
00:25:00I'm going out right now to start looking for one.
00:25:02I'll cash one of these and bring you home a nice juicy steak, huh?
00:25:05Goodbye, Ma. See you later.
00:25:07Goodbye, son.
00:25:14Oh, excuse me, ma'am.
00:25:16I didn't know they'd rented this apartment.
00:25:18I was just going to do a little cleaning.
00:25:20I'm Terry, the superintendent.
00:25:22Superintendent?
00:25:24Yes, but I'm the janitor, too.
00:25:30Where do you want these things put, ma'am?
00:25:32In the bedroom, please.
00:25:48That's my son.
00:25:50Fine-looking boy, ma'am.
00:25:52He is a fine boy.
00:25:54He's out looking for a job right now.
00:26:00I'm sorry, ma'am.
00:26:02I'm sorry.
00:26:04I'm sorry.
00:26:06I'm sorry.
00:26:08I'm sorry.
00:26:10I'm sorry.
00:26:12I'm sorry.
00:26:14I'm sorry.
00:26:16I'm sorry.
00:26:18I'm sorry.
00:26:20I'm sorry.
00:26:22I'm sorry.
00:26:24I'm sorry.
00:26:26I'm sorry.
00:26:28I'm sorry.
00:26:30I'm sorry.
00:26:32I'm sorry.
00:26:34I'm sorry.
00:26:36I'm sorry.
00:26:38I'm sorry.
00:26:40I'm sorry.
00:26:42I'm sorry.
00:26:44I'm sorry.
00:26:46I'm sorry.
00:26:48I'm sorry.
00:26:50I'm sorry.
00:26:52I'm sorry.
00:26:54I'm sorry.
00:26:56You are trapped in the streets looking for work day after day, week after week.
00:26:59And for what?
00:27:01Had any experience? Got any references? Can't use you?
00:27:03I have to listen to that just one more time.
00:27:05Oh, don't, son.
00:27:07You're tired and discouraged.
00:27:09And you're hungry, too.
00:27:11You rest here and try to relax.
00:27:13While I fix you something nice.
00:27:17You know, son, I feel that everything will turn out all right.
00:27:21God will help us if we just put our faith in him.
00:27:24Yes, ma'am.
00:27:34Come in.
00:27:36Hello, Terry.
00:27:38Good evening, ma'am.
00:27:42I wonder if you folks would help me out of a little jam.
00:27:44Why, of course, Terry.
00:27:46What is it?
00:27:48Well, you see, ma'am, it's this way.
00:27:51A cousin of mine has got a little place out in the country
00:27:53where he keeps chickens and things like that.
00:27:55He's always bringing me stuff.
00:27:57Today he brought me a couple of pullets.
00:27:59But I won't be able to use but one.
00:28:01So I thought maybe you folks would do me a favor
00:28:04and eat this and keep it from going to waste.
00:28:06Why don't you save it till tomorrow or the next day?
00:28:09Oh, it's a spoil, ma'am.
00:28:11I ain't got no icebox down in my place.
00:28:13And besides, I don't care much about chicken, no, ma'am.
00:28:15Well, if you're sure...
00:28:18Yes, ma'am, yes, ma'am, yes, ma'am. Thanks.
00:28:21I hope you enjoy it, ma'am.
00:28:23Good night.
00:28:30See, Johnny, manna from heaven.
00:28:44Yes, ma'am, manna from heaven.
00:28:51Johnny, don't you think you'd better get some sleep?
00:28:53You look tired.
00:28:55You're right, Ma, I am tired.
00:29:00Guess I'll turn in.
00:29:05Feel a little better, son?
00:29:07Sure, Ma, don't worry. I'll be okay.
00:29:09Good night.
00:29:11Oh, I nearly forgot. I traded rooms with you today.
00:29:14I'll sleep in here now.
00:29:16Well, why? What's the idea?
00:29:18Well, that couch is too short for you to sleep on.
00:29:20It's just right for me.
00:29:22Run along now, son.
00:29:24All right.
00:29:26Good night.
00:29:48Good night.
00:30:18Johnny, what are you doing up at this hour?
00:30:22That's what I want to ask you.
00:30:24How long has this been going on?
00:30:29That's why you traded rooms with me.
00:30:31That's why there's still food in my stomach.
00:30:33That's why you had faith that God would provide.
00:30:35Johnny!
00:30:38So you were scrubbing floors for me, huh?
00:30:41Well, that's more than I can take.
00:30:43I'm the one who should be working. I'm the one who should earn the living.
00:30:46And if I can't do it one way, I'm going to do it another.
00:30:49I don't like the way you say that, son.
00:30:51Never mind. I know what I'm doing.
00:30:53I've been knocking on the world's front door, Mother, and nobody would answer.
00:30:56I'm going to try the back door now, and if that won't work, I'll climb in the window.
00:30:58Johnny, where are you going?
00:31:00I'm going to look up a friend of mine.
00:31:01Who?
00:31:02The best friend I ever had. Steve Carson.
00:31:09Now listen, boss.
00:31:11This guy's a tough egg, and he's not going to kick in.
00:31:13Tough, is he?
00:31:16We'll soften him up a little.
00:31:22There's a guy outside who wants to see you.
00:31:24Says he's an old friend of yours.
00:31:26Johnny Frazer?
00:31:28Frazer?
00:31:29Last I heard of him, he was in jail.
00:31:32I wonder what he wants.
00:31:35One good way to find out.
00:31:37Send him in.
00:31:46Hello, Steve.
00:31:48Hello, Johnny.
00:31:51When did you get out?
00:31:53Oh, no offense.
00:31:55What's on your mind?
00:31:56I want a job. Got a spot for me here?
00:32:00Well, you're an engineer, Johnny, and a pretty good one, too.
00:32:04But not the kind of engineer we need in our business.
00:32:07I know all about that.
00:32:08I don't care if your business is shipping fat missionaries to Cannibal Island.
00:32:11I want a job.
00:32:14That's a good one.
00:32:16I like that.
00:32:18I believe we can use you.
00:32:20Fine.
00:32:22When do I start?
00:32:24Well, there's no time like the present.
00:32:36What time is it?
00:32:40Eleven o'clock.
00:32:42Eleven o'clock?
00:32:44Paul said he'd be here at ten.
00:32:46You suppose something could happen?
00:32:50It's possible.
00:32:57Hello.
00:32:59No, this is Steve.
00:33:01Yeah, he's here.
00:33:05Tell him what?
00:33:07No.
00:33:08When?
00:33:09Okay.
00:33:11We'll wait.
00:33:16What's the matter?
00:33:18The boss.
00:33:20He's killed.
00:33:22Jimmy, too.
00:33:31Where does that leave us?
00:33:33Do you realize what this means?
00:33:35I wanted to say something.
00:33:38Who's going to take charge of things?
00:33:40I am.
00:33:51Any objections?
00:33:55No.
00:34:10Well, Ma?
00:34:12This is your new home.
00:34:14Oh, it's...
00:34:16It's...
00:34:18Oh, Johnny, I can't tell you how lovely it is.
00:34:22What...
00:34:24Why, Terry, what are you doing here?
00:34:29I got me a new job now, Mrs. Frazier.
00:34:32I'm working for real.
00:34:34I'm going to be a doctor.
00:34:37I got me a new job now, Mrs. Frazier.
00:34:39I'm working for real quality folks now.
00:34:41I gave Terry a job, Mother. He's going to drive a new car.
00:34:44I'm so glad.
00:34:45How handsome you look in your uniform, Terry.
00:34:48Yes, I'm...
00:34:49Can't drive no swell car and hand me down clothes.
00:34:52Why didn't you get some gold braid put on it, Terry?
00:34:55Well, I wanted to, but the man said you wouldn't like it.
00:35:00Where shall I put these bags?
00:35:01Right in there.
00:35:04Son, I'm...
00:35:05I'm so proud of you.
00:35:10Well, I have to get back to the office.
00:35:12You want to rest a while and get your things unpacked, huh?
00:35:14All right, but you'll be home for dinner.
00:35:16Sure, sure.
00:35:17Boss, this is an elegant place.
00:35:19That's what it is, elegant.
00:35:21Oh, I guess we'll get along all right here, Terry.
00:35:23Even if your cousin doesn't bring you any more chickens.
00:35:26Bye, Ma.
00:35:27Terry, you stay and help Mother get things straight.
00:35:29I'll drive myself.
00:35:30Don't be late for dinner.
00:35:32By the way, Terry, how is your cousin?
00:35:35Huh?
00:35:36Oh, he's all right, Mrs. Frazier.
00:35:39But we had a little argument, and I don't see him very often anymore.
00:35:44All right, boys, see you in the morning.
00:35:46Come on, slugs, I'll buy you a snort.
00:35:51Hiya, Stephen.
00:35:54Hey, boys.
00:35:58I thought you were going to Buffalo today.
00:35:59I was there and back.
00:36:01The deal is all set, little boy.
00:36:05Good.
00:36:07By the way, I met a friend of yours there.
00:36:10She rode back with me.
00:36:12She?
00:36:13Yep.
00:36:15Madeline.
00:36:17Madeline.
00:36:18Is she here?
00:36:21Right outside.
00:36:23I won't see her.
00:36:24And since you brought her here, I'll let you throw her out of here.
00:36:28You might at least throw me out yourself, Johnny.
00:36:32All right.
00:36:38Aren't you going to ask him to sit down, Johnny?
00:36:44I was in love with you once, Madeline.
00:36:46It was a long time ago.
00:36:48I fell for you hard, and I landed in jail.
00:36:52My mother sold her house and scrubbed floors to get me out.
00:36:57You were a bad check I signed.
00:37:00But I don't intend to have you bounce back on me again. Is that clear?
00:37:03Or shall I say with gestures?
00:37:06You've changed, Johnny.
00:37:08But I think I like you better this way.
00:37:10I'm flattered.
00:37:13But not interested.
00:37:15You'll excuse me now, Miss Kirby. I have some work to do.
00:37:17I'll say goodbye now, because you'll be gone when I finish.
00:37:29Goodbye.
00:37:48Haven't you gone yet?
00:37:59What are you waiting for?
00:38:00I'm waiting for you to throw me out, darling.
00:38:30THE END
00:38:44It's good to be alone at last in our own home, isn't it?
00:38:47Yes, darling.
00:38:50Surprise!
00:38:51Surprise!
00:38:59Surprise!
00:39:03You look wonderful, Johnny.
00:39:05It's so good to see you.
00:39:07You look great yourself, Mom.
00:39:10And you.
00:39:11My daughter.
00:39:15Welcome to, shall we say, our home.
00:39:25Well, look who's tending bar.
00:39:26Howdy, Mr. Johnny.
00:39:29Howdy, Miss Frazier.
00:39:34Come and get it, folks.
00:39:45You must be tired, dear.
00:39:47You'll feel better after you freshen up a bit.
00:39:49Yes.
00:39:50I'll just be a minute, darling.
00:39:51All right.
00:39:54I'm sure glad to see you, Mr. Johnny.
00:39:56You're more than me got to missing you.
00:39:58Sure, Terry.
00:39:59Missed you, too.
00:40:01A man don't miss nobody on his honeymoon.
00:40:08What do you say, folks, we all have a drink to the bride?
00:40:11I'll drink mine to the groom.
00:40:21How are things?
00:40:23Pretty fair so far, Johnny.
00:40:25But I'm afraid you're going to have trouble with my coffee again.
00:40:29Oh, lovely.
00:40:32I'm glad you like it.
00:40:33Makes you look so much better.
00:40:36Thank you, dear.
00:40:38See you at the office tomorrow.
00:40:39Okay.
00:40:42Pardon me.
00:40:43Do you mind if I have a word with my wife?
00:40:44I want to tell her a secret.
00:40:45What a man.
00:40:46Just got back from his honeymoon and he still has secrets.
00:40:53Thinking the same thing I am?
00:40:54Maybe.
00:40:55What are you thinking?
00:40:56I'm wondering how soon we can ask him to go without being too impolite.
00:41:00How?
00:41:09You know, Steve,
00:41:10I always had an idea that Madeline was your girl.
00:41:14Whoever told you you had an idea?
00:41:18Can't take it, eh?
00:41:20Hey, Johnny, can I have a word with you?
00:41:22Thanks, dear.
00:41:24What's on your mind, George?
00:41:25Well, can I see you alone for a minute?
00:41:28Sure, come on.
00:41:30And they said, how late was it?
00:41:32And the old fellow said, well, it was too late.
00:41:42I think you're kind of a poor audience for me tonight.
00:41:45I don't think I'd better tell any more, eh?
00:41:47What have you there, bartender?
00:41:49Milk punch.
00:41:54Here's your highball, Miss Rachel.
00:41:56A nice warm glass of milk.
00:41:58Thank you, Terry.
00:41:59That's very thoughtful.
00:42:00That reminds me.
00:42:01I heard a pippin today.
00:42:02Gather round.
00:42:03Yeah.
00:42:04What's it all about?
00:42:06You tell me.
00:42:09I'm going to tell you.
00:42:10I'm going to tell you.
00:42:12I'm going to tell you.
00:42:13I'm going to tell you.
00:42:14I'm going to tell you.
00:42:15I'm going to tell you.
00:42:17Right.
00:42:18I think I'll go to my room, Terry.
00:42:21I'm pretty tired.
00:42:36Excuse me.
00:42:42The old snooper.
00:42:44Spying on me already.
00:42:46Well, I'll not stand for it.
00:42:47I'll...
00:42:48Take it easy.
00:42:49Take it easy.
00:42:51You think she'll tell him?
00:42:53Let her tell.
00:42:54Who cares?
00:43:13Oh, hello, darling.
00:43:14Be with you in a minute.
00:43:17What's the matter?
00:43:18Plenty.
00:43:19Johnny, we might as well have this out right now.
00:43:22I'm not going to start my married life
00:43:23with a jealous old woman snooping around.
00:43:25You mean my mother?
00:43:27Oh, darling, you don't know it.
00:43:28She's the grandest person in the world.
00:43:29Then you can live with her.
00:43:30I won't.
00:43:32What happened, Anna?
00:43:33Never mind what happened.
00:43:34But get this straight.
00:43:35I married you.
00:43:36Not your mother.
00:43:37I married you.
00:43:38Not your mother.
00:43:39I married you.
00:43:40I married you.
00:43:41I married you.
00:43:42I married you.
00:43:43I married you.
00:43:44I married you.
00:43:45I married you.
00:43:46Not your whole family.
00:43:47And you'll have to make your choice.
00:43:52Say, you two.
00:43:53We've been looking for you.
00:43:55Yeah, yeah.
00:43:56All right.
00:43:57We'll be right with you.
00:43:58Why don't you two lovebirds come here
00:43:59and thank us for throwing this party?
00:44:04Must you really go?
00:44:05But it's so early.
00:44:06Yes, yes.
00:44:07Just the start of the evening.
00:44:16Good morning, son.
00:44:17Good morning.
00:44:24Johnny.
00:44:27I feel it's my duty to tell you something.
00:44:30About Madeleine?
00:44:33Yes.
00:44:34I don't want to hear anything about it.
00:44:36Mother, look.
00:44:37There's one thing that must be understood right now.
00:44:39Madeleine is my wife.
00:44:40You two will have to get along.
00:44:42I understand, son.
00:44:44You're absolutely right.
00:44:46I'll get out of the way.
00:44:47Oh, now.
00:44:48That isn't necessary at all, Ma.
00:44:49If you'll only just try to understand.
00:44:51If you'll just...
00:44:52But I do understand.
00:44:54Perfectly.
00:44:56No apartment ever built is big enough
00:44:58for a wife and her husband's mother.
00:45:01That's not your fault or mine or...
00:45:04or Madeleine's.
00:45:06That's just the way it is.
00:45:08There's no other way, Johnny.
00:45:10I'll move out.
00:45:12Well, where do you go?
00:45:15There's a nice place just a few blocks from here.
00:45:18Sort of a boarding house where there's some ladies
00:45:20about my own age.
00:45:22I got acquainted with them while you were gone.
00:45:26Well, if you're...
00:45:29If you're going to say that,
00:45:31I'm going to say it.
00:45:33I'm going to say it.
00:45:35I'm going to say it.
00:45:37If you're sure that's what you want to do.
00:45:40Yes.
00:45:43That's what I want to do.
00:45:46I'll go pack my things.
00:45:49I'll have Terry drive you over.
00:45:51I'll take you myself, but I have an appointment.
00:45:55I know.
00:46:00Good morning, Madeleine.
00:46:03Good morning.
00:46:05Excuse me.
00:46:07I have some packing to do.
00:46:16Well?
00:46:18My mother's leaving.
00:46:19Moving out.
00:46:21Today.
00:46:23That's what you wanted, wasn't it, Johnny?
00:46:29Yes, I suppose so.
00:46:31Goodbye.
00:46:36And that's the way it's going to be.
00:46:37McCarthy's going to play ball,
00:46:38or somebody's going to get hurt.
00:46:40Well, let's hope it's not us.
00:46:43What's the matter?
00:46:44You're not scared, are you, Steve?
00:46:47Why don't you knock when you come in?
00:46:49Did you get her all settled?
00:46:51Yep.
00:46:56What's this?
00:46:58Them's the keys to your car.
00:46:59I'm quitting.
00:47:00Oh, you're quitting, huh?
00:47:01Just like that.
00:47:03Yes, just like that.
00:47:05I don't work for no rat.
00:47:07Leave him alone.
00:47:09But he called you a rat.
00:47:13He might be right at that.
00:47:15And in less than two years
00:47:17after he graduated from school,
00:47:19he was a partner in the biggest
00:47:21engineering company in the city.
00:47:24Well, Mrs. Fraser, for weeks now,
00:47:27it's been nothing but Johnny and Johnny.
00:47:29And more Johnny.
00:47:30But we've never seen him.
00:47:32Where is this wonder boy of yours?
00:47:34Why don't he ever come to see you?
00:47:36Well, you will see him today.
00:47:38This is his birthday,
00:47:39and I knitted this sweater for him.
00:47:42I bet that's him now.
00:47:46Hello, Mrs. Fraser.
00:47:48Sort of dark, isn't he?
00:47:51Oh, come in, Terry.
00:47:53Didn't Johnny come with you?
00:47:55No, ma'am.
00:47:56He was just fixing to get in the car
00:47:58to come over when something
00:47:59awful important come up
00:48:00and he had to go tend to it.
00:48:02He sure was disappointed, too.
00:48:04But he sent this candy and these flowers.
00:48:08Wasn't that thoughtful of Johnny?
00:48:13By the way, young man,
00:48:15just what is a business engineer?
00:48:18Oh, I don't know.
00:48:20You know, Terry, like Johnny.
00:48:22Like Johnny?
00:48:24Oh.
00:48:26Oh, that's different.
00:48:28You mean a business engineer.
00:48:30Oh, well, you see,
00:48:31a business engineer, he, uh...
00:48:34uh...
00:48:35Take an engineer on a train.
00:48:37What does he do?
00:48:39He runs trains.
00:48:41A little business engineer runs businesses.
00:48:43Other people's businesses.
00:48:45Well, if I had a business,
00:48:47I wouldn't want somebody else to run it.
00:48:50Quite a few people feel that way, ma'am.
00:48:53Guess I better be getting along, Miss Frazier,
00:48:55unless I can do something for you.
00:48:57Oh, that reminds me.
00:48:58Here's a sweater.
00:48:59I knit it for Johnny's birthday.
00:49:01Maybe you'd better take it to him.
00:49:03Me?
00:49:04You don't mind, do you?
00:49:05Oh, no, no, of course not.
00:49:09Good day, Miss Frazier.
00:49:10Good day, ladies.
00:49:14Poor Johnny.
00:49:15He works so hard.
00:49:17I know what I'll do.
00:49:19I'll telephone and wish him a happy birthday.
00:49:53Hello, Terry.
00:49:54Oh.
00:49:56A present your mother made for your birthday.
00:49:58She asked me to bring it over.
00:49:59Thanks.
00:50:01Aren't you, uh...
00:50:02Aren't you going to wish me a happy birthday?
00:50:04Yeah.
00:50:06I hope you have all the luck you deserve.
00:50:09Thanks for the flowers and candy you brought my mother.
00:50:12I'll give you a check.
00:50:14I did that to make an old lady happy,
00:50:15and I don't want no check from you.
00:50:17Now, wait a minute, wait a minute.
