00:09 [Music]
00:23 [Music]
00:50 Well, that's one more. And the last one.
00:55 [Music]
01:16 The last what?
01:17 My last trip to Coney Island.
01:21 I can't help myself. I can smell hot dogs for a week after I come away from that place.
01:27 Oh, it hurts.
01:32 Well, it appears that our boyfriend's never heard of any other place except Coney.
01:38 Oh, well.
01:42 What do we go there for anyway?
01:45 We could get the same effect by staying at home and hitting ourselves on the head with a hammer.
01:50 Honestly, I'd rather go down to some nice quiet dock and watch the pile drivers.
01:58 Shoot the shoots and slide the slides.
02:01 I'm tattooed with splinters from the back of my neck to the tip of my heels.
02:05 Me too. I've got more scars than a bullfighter.
02:14 I suppose Mary go round. I know the pedigree of every wooden horse in the place.
02:24 Well, I'll tell the world that the sycamore soil I was riding tonight never came from the bluegrass country.
02:30 Oh, look at them. Our service stripes. Each one just another trip to Coney Island.
02:40 Get a load of Agnes the third from the left.
02:44 That refrigerator salesman from Schenectady gave her to me.
02:48 And you remember those two Cornell freshmen. Were they fresh?
02:53 Will I ever forget those two financiers?
02:58 They poured coffee to get old.
03:01 And you remember that fat man from St. Louis?
03:07 And the Yelps convention.
03:12 Oh dear. And will you ever forget that Japanese geese?
03:16 No, but that Shiner's ball.
03:20 And the night we met the two sailors.
03:25 [Horn honks]
03:27 [Horn honks]
03:30 [Horn honks]
03:35 Oh, I really am most rightfully sorry.
03:38 Well, I should think you would be. I look just like a mud turtle.
03:42 And these are our fall clothes.
03:44 Well, look here girls. I tell you what we'll do.
03:47 You come with me right away in my car and I'll get you some new ones. Come on.
03:50 Well, I don't think so.
03:58 This is another of my creations.
04:01 And I want you to particularly observe that over the bodice here, as you come around,
04:05 we have that, it gives it that, those sort of lines that you can't, that,
04:09 I really think that it's positively one of the finest and most adorable things that I've ever created.
04:15 Particularly here, when you get over the, when you, as soon as the,
04:20 you may go my dear.
04:22 And I want you to, oh this, this is my dream dress.
04:26 You possibly observe that this one has more of the, it's more, more than the other, of course.
04:33 And through here, I think you'll find it positively peachy, don't you think so?
04:39 And really, and this one has more, gives you the, gives the lines of the, of, of, of,
04:46 you may go too.
04:49 Oh, Mr. Lovier, so sweet of you to come.
04:53 I've just ruined these two ladies' dresses and I want complete new outfits for both of them.
04:58 What miracle of inspiration must have led you to my door?
05:02 Oh, I have some of the most adorable creations.
05:04 Come, you must see them. I must show them to you at once.
05:07 Come this way, won't you?
05:09 Yes.
05:11 And now I must study you.
05:13 Every line, every curve.
05:16 You first, my dear.
05:18 [music]
05:26 Oh, hey.
05:28 [music]
05:37 What's the matter?
05:38 Nothing, nothing. To Pierre, nothing is impossible.
05:43 [music]
05:51 I have, oh, it's an inspiration.
05:54 Oh, I have just the thing. It's positively alluring.
05:59 Come, my dear.
06:01 Go get that bewitching midnight blue Canton crepe with the velvet jacket.
06:07 Go.
06:09 You're next, my dear.
06:11 [music]
06:15 Perfectly heavenly.
06:17 [music]
06:20 Thirty-six is the size.
06:22 Yes, of course.
06:24 [music]
06:26 Oh, I have just the thing. This is positively gorgeous.
06:30 I know that you positively love it.
06:33 Come here, my dear.
06:35 Go get that new color combination.
06:37 You know, the one with the transparent black velvet and the chartreuse crepe.
06:42 Run along, my dear.
06:43 Oh, this is positively beautiful.
06:45 You know, it clings to you with that steady carelessness.
06:49 You know, it comes over the hips like that and gives the effect of more of a...
06:55 [music]
06:59 Pardon me.
07:01 Looks like we're going to be all dressed up and no place to go.
07:04 What do you mean, no place to go?
07:06 I'll take you two girls out any day you like and bring a boyfriend for you, too.
07:11 Oh, really?
07:12 Well, we're voting Saturday afternoon off.
07:14 Well, that's a date, then.
07:16 Hey, would you dames hurry and come out of there?
07:20 You want me to lose these swell customers?
07:22 [music]
07:26 Well, where are we going to go?
07:29 Well, I'll spend the rest of the week thinking out some place that's smart and original.
07:34 Oh, dear.
07:38 Ladies.
07:40 Oh, dear.
07:42 Aren't they precious?
07:44 [music]
07:52 Well, where are we going?
07:54 Ah, well, that's the surprise.
07:57 Somewhere very smart and frightfully original.
08:00 Oh, dear.
08:04 [music]
08:08 Come along now, come along. Here we are, here we are.
08:12 The whole week I've been trying to think of something different to do.
08:16 And there it is.
08:18 [music]
08:23 And we're going to do the whole place.
08:26 Rather than merry-go-round and shooting the what-do-you-call-it and all sorts of nonsense.
08:32 Come on.
08:33 Come along now, come along.
08:34 [music]
08:50 Well, isn't this wonderful?
08:52 I bet you girls would never have thought of coming to a place like this for a Saturday afternoon.
08:56 Why, you've got everything.
08:59 There's a shooting gallery.
09:01 I used to be pretty good at that once.
09:03 Oh, look.
09:04 There's a dance place.
09:06 I'm most deftly expert at throwing darts.
09:09 Well, come on, let's have a try.
09:10 Come on.
09:11 [music]
09:13 Come on, let's go home.
09:15 Why, we can't run out on them.
09:16 They think they're giving us a swell time.
09:18 And besides, look at the clothes he bought us.
09:20 Well, what good are a lot of swell clothes going to do us if we're going to have them rubbed off on the roly-poly and the shoot-the-shoots?
09:26 Well, we wouldn't have worn them if we knew we were coming here.
09:29 Those boys sure know how to pick a smart and original place.
09:33 Oh, come on.
09:35 [music]
09:38 Stand right this way.
09:39 Three darts per corner.
09:41 Say, be careful that Jake doesn't recognize you.
09:44 Oh, yes.
09:46 [music]
09:48 Throw your arm off, my friend.
09:49 I think you're going to be great.
09:50 I know I am.
09:51 Oh, you don't know me.
09:53 [music]
09:59 Oh, flies.
10:00 Oh, flies.
10:01 Oh, yes.
10:02 Aren't they hot, little things?
10:05 Well, hello, sister.
10:07 [gunshot]
10:08 [music]
10:11 My goodness, you must be careful.
10:13 These are dangerous, you know.
10:15 You told me, wasn't you?
10:16 Now, if you watch carefully, I'll show you how it's done.
10:19 [music]
10:21 [gunshot]
10:22 [music]
10:24 That was close.
10:25 [music]
10:26 [gunshot]
10:27 There, you see?
10:29 [music]
10:30 [gunshot]
10:31 [music]
10:32 Twenty-five cents, please.
10:33 Well, that wasn't too bad, was it?
10:36 Well, not so bad, not so good.
10:39 Not so good?
10:41 Well, here's a wager for you.
10:43 I bet you all of that against a nickel of yours, you don't do any better.
10:46 You're on.
10:49 Not with that.
10:50 Oh, yes, I like the little ones best.
10:53 [music]
10:55 [gunshots]
10:57 [music]
10:59 [gunshots]
11:03 Beginner's luck.
11:05 Why, that's remarkable.
11:07 For the first time, too.
11:09 Wasn't it funny?
11:10 It all fell right down.
11:12 You certainly are clever.
11:14 [music]
11:18 I tell you, I don't seem to be as good at this as I expected.
11:22 No, you're not, sir.
11:24 What do you suppose is the matter?
11:26 Why don't you try it with your eyes shut?
11:30 That's a capital idea.
11:32 I never thought of that.
11:34 [screams]
11:36 Oh.
11:38 Did I hit one?
11:39 No, you didn't.
11:40 Oh.
11:41 [shouting]
11:44 [hissing]
11:46 [shouting]
11:51 [hissing]
11:55 Trying to be funny in front of all these people?
11:57 Cut it out!

13:09 Come on, boys.
13:10 [shouting]
13:23 Say, what are you trying to do?
13:25 Take a monkey out of me?
13:26 [shouting]
13:27 [shouting]
13:32 Say, listen.
13:33 I tell you, that girl belongs to me.
13:35 Now, the next time I catch you monkeying around here, I'll--
13:39 [shouting]
13:43 [hissing]
13:48 Come on, let's get out of here.
13:49 [shouting]
13:53 Did you see that?
13:54 The most extraordinary thing.
13:56 Yes, every time you open your arms,
13:58 you seem to get them full of women.
14:00 [shouting]
14:03 [laughing]
14:04 Look, come on.
14:05 [shouting]
14:08 [hissing]
14:11 [shouting]
14:21 My word, our lady in distress.
14:24 [laughing]
14:26 Come on.
14:27 [laughing]
14:32 Come on.
14:33 [laughing]
14:43 Get up.
14:44 Say, look, didn't I tell you this was my game?
14:46 No.
14:47 [laughing]
14:49 What do you think you're doing?
14:50 What am I doing?
14:51 I'm going to knock that guy's block off.
14:53 Oh, you and who else?
14:54 Me and nobody else.
14:56 Oh, yeah?
14:57 Yeah.

16:19 [music playing]
16:27 [laughing]
16:33 Well, wasn't that great?
16:34 Say, listen, can't you find somewhere else to play?
16:37 Why, sure.
16:38 [laughing]
16:40 Up there, look.
16:41 So long, folks, so long.
16:43 [screaming]
16:46 Come on, let's go.
16:49 Hey, you can't get down here with that.
16:52 What do you think I'm going to do, leave it up here?
16:55 OK, but don't drop it on the slide.
16:57 Aye, won't it cost me a nickel?
16:59 [music playing]
17:09 Oh, I'm scared to death.
17:10 Oh, you needn't be.
17:11 I'll look after you.
17:12 Come on.
17:13 Oh, dear.
17:16 Hey, whoopee!
17:17 [music playing]
17:19 [screaming]
17:22 [laughing]
17:23 Well, that was something, wasn't it?
17:24 How'd you like that?
17:25 Great.
17:26 Come on, let's try this one.
17:28 All right, come on.
17:29 [music playing]
17:30 Just a minute, I'll get some tickets for this.
17:32 [screaming]
17:33 [music playing]
17:46 [screaming]
17:49 Say, what's going on here?
17:51 I'd pay that nickel for this.
17:53 [music playing]
18:05 My word, this is beginning to be a coincidence.
18:08 [music playing]
18:14 I say, come along.
18:15 Isn't this a conveyance?
18:17 Getting kind of monotonous.
18:19 [music playing]
18:31 Well, this is certainly a smart and original place.
18:37 Just another Saturday afternoon.
18:40 Yes, and thank heavens we're staying home for a change.
18:43 None of those shoot the shoots.
18:45 [knocking]
18:49 Come in.
18:50 [music playing]
19:00 How do you do?
19:02 How do you do?
19:04 We thought if you girls weren't doing anything
19:06 this afternoon, you'd like to go with us.
19:09 Well, where are you going?
19:11 We're going to Coney Island.
19:12 [music playing]
