00:00 [music]
00:22 Very nice.
00:24 My dear.
00:25 Yes?
00:26 A letter for you.
00:27 For me? From home?
00:29 Uh, at the angle.
00:33 At the angle? No.
00:36 Yes, at the angle.
00:38 Oy, David, you know how long I didn't hear from at the angle?
00:42 Hmm?
00:43 Let me see.
00:45 "Dear Molly, you will no doubt be surprised when you hear from me after all these years."
00:55 Plenty of years, baby.
00:57 "I am traveling to the West, but before I leave, I would like to see you."
01:05 [gasps]
01:09 My, my.
01:14 Well?
01:15 Oy, David, what is today?
01:17 Why?
01:18 Because of today's day should be here tomorrow, David darling.
01:21 Oh, my.
01:22 Let me get finished already so I can enjoy this moment.
01:26 Oy, David, at the angle.
01:30 David darling, you know how many years I didn't see at the angle.
01:34 My, my.
01:35 She should all of a sudden fall out of the blue sky and come to see me.
01:39 Oy, David, you know how many years.
01:43 Oy, my, we were living yet, let me get, we were living yet, the first apartment before I was married, darling.
01:53 Eh?
01:54 At the angle.
01:56 At the angle.
01:58 Oy, David darling, she lived on top of, she worked in the same place as Jake, way before Jake went into business for himself.
02:07 Oy, my, my, at the angle.
02:11 Oy, my.
02:13 Listen, dear, next to Mrs. Bloom, she was my best friend.
02:17 Let me get finished already with the sewing.
02:19 I got plenty of time with the sewing.
02:21 Let me get finished.
02:22 How is it I never met her?
02:24 What do you mean how is it you never met her, David darling?
02:27 After all, she moved away, I moved away.
02:31 She had a family.
02:33 I was busy, she was busy.
02:35 What do you mean, David darling, two friends can be lost even if they live in the same city.
02:41 Oy, David, will Jake be shocked and surprised when he hears it?
02:47 Oy, I'm, I'm beside myself, David.
02:50 Oh, my dear, to see a friend after so many years, it's wonderful.
02:54 David darling, all her children are married already, two boys and two girls.
03:00 David dear, whatever I know about sewing, at the angle taught me.
03:05 After I was just first married, I was a newly wed.
03:08 What did I know, darling?
03:10 Nothing, I had plenty, plenty to learn.
03:12 She was such a pretty woman, David.
03:14 I remember like she's standing right in front of me.
03:17 Her hair was black like patent leather.
03:20 Oy, David, her mother will be all white now.
03:22 I wonder what she'll think when she looks at me.
03:25 Put the machine in Jake's closet here, darling, please.
03:29 Come here.
03:30 Oh, it's very heavy.
03:34 Molly.
03:36 Jake, have I got something to tell you?
03:39 Have I got something to tell...
03:40 What?
03:41 You remember Ed Angle?
03:43 She wrote to you too?
03:44 He wrote me, Benjamin, Ed, his husband wrote me.
03:47 Oh, she wrote to me too, Jake darling.
03:50 She's coming.
03:52 Well, that's funny, he says he's coming alone.
03:55 Vanessa says she's coming alone.
03:57 How's that?
03:58 So what's the difference?
03:59 I'll be glad to see both of them.
04:01 Wonderful man, a wonderful man, a millinery, wonderful.
04:05 Jake, don't throw yourself under covers.
04:07 Throw yourself in the closet, please.
04:10 Oh, Jake darling, I'm so beside myself.
04:16 Jake, dear, Jake, her youngest daughter,
04:20 her youngest daughter married a man with a hospital.
04:23 Doctor?
04:24 A doll hospital.
04:26 And her oldest daughter, Jake darling, married a corsetorium.
04:31 And her two boys have novelty, laces and ribbons.
04:37 Oh, my, and now she says she would like to go back to work.
04:42 You remember what a wonderful worker she was.
04:44 She was a poor lady, over 42, I'll put it this way.
04:48 Maybe you could find something in your place for her, Jake dear.
04:52 Why should a woman of her age want to go back to work?
04:54 Listen, all her children are married,
04:56 they have nothing to do with herself, maybe.
04:58 But Benjamin Angle is not a poor man.
05:00 Life is like a wheel, Jake.
05:03 One day you're up, one day you're down.
05:06 David darling, whatever fate had in store for Benji and for Etta,
05:13 I'm sure they shared it alike.
05:15 That I'm sure.
05:16 A very happy couple.
05:18 Hmm, yes, very.
05:22 Jake darling, it's times like these that you're glad you have a guest through.
05:31 I only hope that Etta and Benji stay for a few days.
05:34 Maybe she didn't say anything about Benjamin because she wanted to surprise you.
05:38 Maybe, and maybe vice versa, he didn't say because he wanted to surprise us.
05:43 Well, however and whatever it is, I'm glad they're coming, I couldn't be happier.
05:48 Who are you calling?
05:49 My president.
05:51 Oh, I am so happy, I'm just tired of myself.
05:55 Hello?
05:57 Hello, this is me, I.
05:59 Do you recognize the voice?
06:01 That's right.
06:03 Listen darling, something unbetold and besides happened here.
06:07 I received a letter from an old friend that I haven't seen in 20 years.
06:11 So darling, maybe I'll have to bow and not be able to come to your garden party.
06:17 Yes.
06:19 Well, it, I mean would it be alright if she comes with me?
06:26 Oh, she would love it to see she's a city dweller.
06:30 I would love her to see your hydrangeas.
06:34 Well, would it be alright if her husband accompanies her?
06:39 You see, he's in the millinery business and the only flowers he ever sees are the flowers that are on hats.
06:47 Yes, darling.
06:48 Oh, and look dear, before I forget, by the by, could you let me have some of your bow?
06:56 Yes, wonderful.
06:58 Thank you darling.
06:59 My bell is ringing, I have to send to a deal.
07:01 Alright dear, call me or I'll call you, bye.
07:04 Jake, darling, could you believe it, I'm palpitating.
07:07 Don't palpitate and open the door.
07:09 Oh, Jake.
07:11 Molly.
07:13 Molly, darling.
07:15 Oh, yes.
07:17 Let me look at you.
07:18 So long.
07:20 I don't believe it.
07:22 You don't know what this means to us, do you?
07:24 Oh, it's so good to see you.
07:26 Yes, darling, do you know my Uncle David?
07:29 You don't remember Uncle David?
07:31 I used to visit Molly every Sunday.
07:33 Well, on Sundays I used to have to visit my mother-in-law, so I suppose that's why we never met.
07:39 David Romaine.
07:40 Hello.
07:41 Come, sit down.
07:43 Oh, yes, let me look at you.
07:45 Esther, Angel.
07:48 Oh, yes, darling, if you saw me in the street, would you recognize me?
07:53 No.
07:54 No?
07:56 Anna, how is it you didn't come together?
07:59 Who?
08:00 You and Benjamin.
08:01 Why?
08:02 Is Benny coming?
08:04 Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned it.
08:06 It's all right.
08:07 I'll leave when he comes.
08:09 What is it, something wrong?
08:11 First I have to know that I can support myself.
08:14 Jake, if you think you have a place for me in your shop--
08:20 Well, I--
08:21 Jake, maybe you'll go in the kitchen and fix a cup of coffee so we can have a little sneak snack, so Esther and I can talk over old times?
08:33 David.
08:35 Come, David.
08:36 David.
08:37 Excuse me.
08:42 Esther, what is it?
08:44 It's the end.
08:45 The end of what?
08:46 What happened?
08:47 25 years is enough.
08:49 Don't you think so?
08:50 Talk clearly.
08:51 I don't understand you.
08:53 I suffered in silence since my first child was born.
08:56 But now that they're grown and married, my life is my own.
08:59 And I can walk out of my prison.
09:01 Prison?
09:02 What prison?
09:03 My marriage.
09:04 Your marriage?
09:05 I always thought you had the most wonderful marriage.
09:08 Why?
09:09 Because I-- because I suffered silently?
09:12 Because I kept everything in my heart for the sake of my children?
09:16 But Benjamin always seemed to me to--
09:18 Seemed? Oh, I'm so glad you used that word, "seemed."
09:21 But tell me, what did he do?
09:23 What is it?
09:24 Oh, it's nothing you can talk about, only-- only things you can feel.
09:34 In the 25 years I was married to him, did the man ever remember a birthday?
09:40 Did-- did the man ever come home with tickets to a show?
09:43 Did he-- did he ever say, "Let's go away on a vacation together"?
09:47 No.
09:48 All I knew was he-- he gave me his weekly pay and took out what he needed for himself,
09:54 but the rest of the responsibility was mine.
09:58 Did he-- did he ever know when a child needed a pair of shoes?
10:02 Or that I had a coat on my back?
10:05 Nothing interested him, nothing.
10:08 His supper on the table when he came home and-- and that's all.
10:12 That's-- that's amazing because he wasn't such a--
10:16 I mean, such a strong man, little weak, that you know.
10:21 He came home from work tired.
10:26 And I was strong and not tired?
10:30 No, Molly.
10:32 In all the years we were married, 10 o'clock he was in bed regardless of who was in the house,
10:38 company or no company.
10:41 Why, the man lived in the house like a border.
10:44 All right.
10:46 But if it wasn't a stranger, you could tell him, you could talk to him,
10:49 and make fights and upset the children.
10:56 Look, if that's-- if that's Benjamin, I don't want to see him.
10:59 I-- my mind is made up.
11:01 All right.
11:02 All right, go up to my room.
11:04 Here's your pocketbook.
11:05 Here.
11:06 Go upstairs.
11:08 Jake?
11:13 You open the door for Benjamin, but don't say that Etta's here.
11:17 Why?
11:18 I can't talk now.
11:25 Benjamin.
11:26 Jake.
11:27 It's good to see you.
11:29 Come in, come in, Benjamin.
11:30 Where's Molly?
11:32 She's upstairs.
11:33 She'll be coming down soon.
11:35 You know my Uncle David?
11:37 Vaguely.
11:38 Oh, I remember you, I think.
11:41 David Romaine.
11:43 How do you do?
11:44 Pleased to meet you.
11:45 Sit down, Benjamin, sit down.
11:47 Thank you.
11:48 It's an elegant house you have.
11:50 Oh, thank you, Benjamin.
11:52 Did you have supper?
11:54 I'm not hungry.
11:57 I can see you're troubled, Benjamin.
11:59 What is it?
12:02 She's leaving me, Jake.
12:03 What?
12:04 After 25 years of married life, she's leaving me.
12:09 Why?
12:10 Why?
12:11 Do you know?
12:12 That's how I know.
12:14 The day after my youngest daughter's wedding, she gave me notice.
12:20 Put a snack under, Tay.
12:22 No, no, please, Tay.
12:23 You're a little older than we are.
12:25 Maybe you can give me a little advice.
12:27 Yes, sit, David.
12:28 I always thought you were such a happy couple.
12:31 Why?
12:32 Because I didn't talk.
12:34 Because I kept everything inside of me.
12:36 Because I wanted a peaceful environment for my children.
12:40 Another man in my place wouldn't have suffered in silence.
12:44 Do I have to tell you it isn't easy to feed six mouths and to clothe six children?
12:49 The weekly envelope she got, I only kept what I needed for myself.
12:53 A pack of cigarettes, a newspaper, even lunch I took in the bag from home the first five years we were married.
13:00 It was cheap.
13:02 Was I ever told when the children needed a pair of shoes?
13:06 Was I ever consulted like a husband and father?
13:09 Did we ever take a vacation together?
13:12 My friends were never invited, only hers.
13:16 My sisters and brothers she got angry at the first year we were married.
13:22 Jake, I was like a border in my own house.
13:26 I was only glad when the clock struck ten so I could say goodnight.
13:30 I'm asking you, Jake, was I a bad man?
13:35 I only tried to keep peace.
13:38 And this is my reward.
13:41 Did I ever have a clothes closet I could call my own?
13:44 Well, did you talk to her?
13:46 Did you ask her what she has against you?
13:48 I'm not a talking man, Jake.
13:49 But sometimes it's necessary to talk.
13:52 Talk it out.
13:53 Nobody's a mind reader.
13:55 And if you'll separate...
13:56 Do I want to separate?
13:58 She wants it, not me.
14:00 So what should I do?
14:02 Etta, please.
14:04 You here?
14:05 Why didn't you tell me, Jake?
14:07 Etta, please, will you listen to my suggestion?
14:09 Molly, please.
14:10 Etta, do I love you?
14:12 Well, you know the answer is yes.
14:13 Then listen to me.
14:15 Benjamin, take a little walk together.
14:18 Give yourself one more chance to talk heart to heart and face to face.
14:22 And then come back.
14:24 Molly, they'll take a little walk together.
14:26 You don't take 25 years of marriage and throw it out.
14:29 Please, go.
14:30 You'll walk.
14:31 You'll talk.
14:32 All right, I'll go and talk.
14:33 But there's nothing to talk about.
14:34 Who wants to leave?
14:35 Talk, Benjamin, talk.
14:36 Talk it out.
14:37 Talk about the things that you never talked about.
14:38 Talk it out.
14:39 Go.
14:40 You'll find plenty to talk about.
14:41 Molly is absolutely right.
14:43 Go.
14:44 Etta, please.
14:45 Benjamin, please.
14:46 Like strangers.
14:54 Married 25 years.
14:56 Strangers.
14:57 And I thought they were the happiest couple I ever met.
15:01 You'll be back already soon, no?
15:05 Mm-hmm.
15:06 You're playing, Jack.
15:08 I can get over it.
15:10 I can get over it.
15:12 If anybody would ask me who are the happiest married couple I know, I would have to say the Engels.
15:18 Play, David.
15:19 I don't know, to be able to keep things beside of you like that.
15:24 I couldn't be silent so long.
15:26 I could.
15:27 But 25 years.
15:29 Something.
15:31 Play.
15:32 I don't know.
15:33 When I have something to say.
15:35 You say it.
15:36 I do.
15:38 Not every husband is like Jacob Goldberg.
15:40 Not every wife is like Molly Goldberg, neither.
15:43 Of course, some of the things you say sometimes, Molly dear, hate to the quick and would be better not said.
15:49 For instance?
15:50 Play.
15:51 For instance?
15:52 Well, I can't think of a for instance on the spur of the moment.
15:56 Play.
15:57 Wait for the playing, David.
15:59 If we're talking, Jack, let's talk.
16:01 Maybe you have a few hidden grievances in your bosom also.
16:04 Well, who hasn't?
16:05 Shall I put away the cards or are we playing?
16:07 Jack.
16:08 What?
16:09 I'm asking a question.
16:11 Maybe it's better to let sleeping dogs lie.
16:14 Not at all.
16:15 Not at all.
16:16 I know that in my heart, in my mind, I'm unconscious.
16:19 If you're unconscious also, then let us talk.
16:22 If my advice to my best friend was to talk it out, and your advice was to talk it out,
16:27 so why shouldn't we take our own advice and practice what we preach?
16:30 So talk, Jack, no matter what it is.
16:32 Small or big.
16:34 It's not important.
16:38 Your check you never gave me.
16:41 We'd be in very fine circumstances, I assure you, if I did.
16:44 Such a bad manager I am.
16:46 A good manager you're not.
16:49 I'm extravagant, I suppose?
16:51 Very.
16:52 Is this a joke?
16:55 If it is, what is the hilarity of your mind?
16:57 I want to know it.
16:58 I'm not joking, Molly.
16:59 For a man in my circumstances, you are very extravagant if you want to know.
17:03 I'm extravagant?
17:06 Where is my extravagance?
17:08 I have rings on my fingers.
17:10 I have a minx on my back.
17:12 I have a box in the opera.
17:14 I ride around with a car, with a chauffeur, in a limousine.
17:17 I said for my circumstances.
17:19 Enumerate.
17:21 The list is too long.
17:23 Long or short, enumerate.
17:25 Did you need an electric waxing machine when you have carpets from wall to wall?
17:29 Do you use it?
17:31 What else?
17:32 What else?
17:33 How many pairs of shoes do you have standing that you never put your foot into?
17:37 My shoes you count?
17:42 I only said you have ten pairs.
17:44 And you only have two pairs.
17:47 I didn't say that.
17:48 Oh, if you counted my shoes, then you counted your shoes.
17:53 Do you realize that the ten pairs of shoes that I have are an accumulation of sixteen years of buying things?
17:59 You asked me to talk, I suppose?
18:01 Oh, yes, Jake, I want you to talk.
18:03 Talk, Jake, talk, yes.
18:06 Maybe my indulgence of my extravagances is selfishness.
18:12 Maybe I'm selfish.
18:13 In some things.
18:15 That I want to hear.
18:17 That, you see, I want to hear.
18:19 There are all kinds of selfishnesses.
18:21 Yes.
18:22 In a house full of closets, should I, as the breadwinner of the family, not have a closet of my own?
18:27 You don't have a closet of your own.
18:29 I do not.
18:30 Your living room closet is not your closet.
18:32 Is it?
18:33 This is my closet.
18:52 [music]
19:01 [music]
19:11 [music]
19:21 [music]
19:32 [door slams]
19:33 Anything else?
19:38 I'd rather refrain, if you don't mind.
19:40 Please, Amy.
19:41 I mind very much, very much.
19:44 Molly.
19:45 I'm extravagant.
19:47 I'm selfish.
19:49 I want to hear the worst.
19:50 You heard the worst, Molly dear, and it wasn't so bad.
19:54 I doubt very much, Jake, if things between us will be the same as it was here before.
20:01 You asked for it.
20:03 Yes.
20:04 I got much more than I asked for.
20:06 Much more.
20:08 You counted my shoes.
20:10 But when you were counting them, Jake, did you say to yourself, would that I could give my wife more?
20:16 That not.
20:18 Why, Jake, if I only began, if I only started to enumerate the things that I never told you.
20:25 Start.
20:26 I'm ready to listen.
20:27 All right, Jake dear.
20:29 I have too much consideration for your feelings.
20:33 Much too much.
20:35 Jake, maybe you shouldn't have said what you said.
20:41 Are we playing?
20:43 Jake, there's some things you have to keep inside of you.
20:46 There's some things you can't talk about no matter who it is.
20:51 I suppose it wasn't selfish when you went away on your vacation and you left me home alone with two little children.
20:57 That wasn't selfish.
20:59 You play, David.
21:02 Jake, maybe go into Molly.
21:05 They came to buy me a birthday present.
21:07 You sent your bookkeeper.
21:08 The bookkeeper should buy it.
21:10 That's why I had the same present for five years.
21:12 Very nice.
21:13 Very nice.
21:14 A present, you know, isn't how much you spend for it.
21:16 A present is how much thought you give it.
21:18 It's all right, Jake.
21:20 I have plenty grievances in my book also.
21:23 A person can't hear the truth.
21:26 They shouldn't ask for it.
21:28 Who's receiving the receiver?
21:33 I'm receiving the receiver.
21:36 Hello?
21:40 Oh, yes.
21:42 Who?
21:43 Your president.
21:44 Do I feel like a president?
21:46 No.
21:47 Hang on.
21:51 Tell her I'll call her back when I'm in a different mood, please.
21:54 I don't feel like small chit-chat now.
21:56 Hello?
21:58 Could you give me, please, a message for Mrs. Goldberg?
22:02 Yes.
22:04 Uh-huh.
22:06 I will.
22:09 One minute.
22:10 She wants to know if you want bulbs.
22:13 All I need now is bulbs.
22:15 I'll call her back when I'm in a bulb mood.
22:18 Well, Mrs. Goldberg didn't decide yet on the bulbs.
22:22 She'll call you back tomorrow.
22:24 Uh-huh.
22:27 Uh-huh.
22:29 Yes.
22:30 I will tell her.
22:32 Thank you.
22:33 Goodbye.
22:37 You should come to the garden meeting next week without fail.
22:40 Mildly, I say.
22:41 So all right, David.
22:42 It's all right.
22:44 It's enough already.
22:46 Plenty.
22:47 Imagine.
22:56 At the angle had to come for a visit.
22:59 Did Jake mean what he said?
23:02 He said it.
23:04 What other two people in the world loved each other like I love my wife?
23:09 But they're perfect, she wasn't.
23:11 How long is love blind?
23:14 Love is eyes and sees.
23:16 And if love can see, and see in your love anyway, that's love.
23:22 That's love.
23:24 Am I talking to myself now?
23:27 To deaf ears I'm talking?
23:32 All together wrong, if you'll excuse me.
23:34 Jake wasn't.
23:36 All together wrong, no.
23:39 Jake, it's enough already.
23:50 What did Molly say?
23:52 Whatever she said, wrong she wasn't.
23:54 She had only bought a postal card for her birthday.
23:58 And wrote on it, "I love you in September like I loved you in May."
24:02 Would have meant much more to Molly than the diamonds and the silk stockings that your bookkeeper buys for her.
24:08 Jake.
24:10 Molly.
24:16 One minute.
24:25 One second.
24:26 One second.
24:27 Oh, hello.
24:29 Come in, come in.
24:30 Did you have a nice walk?
24:33 Where's Molly?
24:34 And Jake?
24:35 I'll call them.
24:36 Excuse me.
24:37 Why are you looking at me like that, Benji?
24:42 I look at you with different eyes now, Erty.
24:45 Me too, Benji.
24:46 Let's not even talk about it.
24:48 Let's hope that God gives us health and years to enjoy each other from now on.
24:53 I hope so.
24:54 I hope so.
24:55 Hello, Erty.
25:00 Molly.
25:01 Hey, Erty and Benji.
25:03 Why did you ever move away from me?
25:05 I took your good advice, Molly.
25:07 And the things I learned about myself.
25:09 And the things I did to this poor man.
25:12 Jake.
25:13 Jake, if I live to be a hundred years, I'll always be thankful to you for what you did for me.
25:19 Is it a wonder, Erty, that he is the happy man that he is?
25:23 Well, they're sensible, intelligent people.
25:25 Certainly.
25:26 If you realize that even a husband is a person and a wife is a human being.
25:32 And to talk over your differences is the solution to a happy marriage.
25:37 Why don't you sit down, Mr. Benji?
25:39 Is there any time?
25:40 Not much if we want to make the last train.
25:42 We're going away.
25:43 Our first vacation together to Honolulu.
25:46 Wonderful.
25:47 Thank you, darling.
25:48 Thank you very much.
25:49 From the bottom of our hearts.
25:51 Goodbye.
25:52 Goodbye.
25:53 Thank you.
25:54 Goodbye.
25:55 Goodbye.
25:56 Goodbye.
25:57 Goodbye.
25:58 Goodbye.
25:59 Goodbye.
26:00 Goodbye.
26:01 Bye.
26:02 Goodbye.
26:03 Bye, Benjamin.
26:21 How long, Davis?
26:22 I want to see that Jake should be transferred upstairs.
26:28 I want him to be in a closet all by himself.
26:32 It'll be more convenient.
26:34 For your next birthday.
26:39 I love you in December as I did in May.
26:48 I love you in December as I did in May.
26:52 My birthday wouldn't be till six months.
26:57 Who can wait so long?
