00:01:20Jack, it's beautiful.
00:01:24There's just one thing, young lady.
00:01:26What's that?
00:01:27I don't believe in long engagements.
00:01:29Neither do I.
00:01:30Now, I may be wrong,
00:01:32but I never did believe in long engagements,
00:01:34and I always will.
00:01:37Mother.
00:01:38Darling.
00:01:39Isn't it wonderful?
00:01:41Oh, it's lovely.
00:01:43It looks just like the one your father almost gave me.
00:01:47I beg your pardon, Mrs. Tillett,
00:01:48but don't you think I'd better speak to your husband about this?
00:01:51Why, yes, Jeffrey.
00:01:52I think that would be a good idea.
00:01:55Zero?
00:01:57Zero?
00:02:00Ma'am, Mrs. Tibbets.
00:02:02Zero, come here.
00:02:04Yes, Mrs.
00:02:05Knife keeps slipping and spoiling Mrs. Arsenault's potatoes.
00:02:10Me, Mrs. Tillett.
00:02:11Zero, run down to the village and tell Dr. Tibbett to come home right away.
00:02:15Wait a minute.
00:02:16Tell him Mrs. Carter's coming to dinner.
00:02:19You will invite your mother, won't you?
00:02:21Yes, of course.
00:02:22Wait a minute.
00:02:25Now, let me see.
00:02:26What was the other thing I wanted to tell you to tell him?
00:02:29I don't know, do I, Mrs. Tibbets?
00:02:31About the engagement.
00:02:33Oh, yes, of course.
00:02:35Tell him Mr. Jeffrey wants to ask his permission to marry Miss Mary.
00:02:38You got that all straight?
00:02:41Yes, but not exactly.
00:02:43Well, that's just fine.
00:02:44Now, run along.
00:02:45Yes.
00:02:46And please hurry because I've got a million things to do.
00:02:49Well, to work, to work, to work, to work.
00:02:53Don't folks know you can get places more safer without so much hurrying?
00:02:58Out of my way, boy.
00:02:59Don't you see I'm on business?
00:03:14It's a boy.
00:03:23And you just take it easy and relax, Mr. Dover.
00:03:26And in a few days you'll be yourself again.
00:03:28Now, forward, Doctor.
00:03:30I still can't believe it.
00:03:32Well, if it first you...
00:03:33Oh, by the way, Doctor.
00:03:35About your bill.
00:03:37I'll pay you just as soon as I...
00:03:39Never mind, Mr. Dover.
00:03:44This one's on me.
00:03:46Well, good day.
00:03:47Good day.
00:03:53Let's give it up for Dr. Tibbitt.
00:03:57Dr. Tibbitt.
00:04:00Dr. Tibbitt.
00:04:01Dr. Tibbitt.
00:04:02Dr. Tibbitt.
00:04:03Dr. Tibbitt, sir.
00:04:04What's the matter, Zero?
00:04:05Mr. Tibbitt said you heard that the House of Commons is powerful and important.
00:04:09Get in the buggy.
00:04:10Yes, sir.
00:04:11I forgot the other part of the message, and that was the most part.
00:04:13What was wrong?
00:04:14There was something I found so soon that I forgot what I was supposed to do.
00:04:18I forgot what I was supposed to do.
00:04:21What happened, Zero?
00:04:22Trying to figure out another campfire.
00:04:25Well, was somebody sick?
00:04:26No, sir. She never said medicine.
00:04:28Well, was there a fire?
00:04:30No, sir. There were no firemen there.
00:04:32Well, can't you think of what's wrong?
00:04:34Yes, sir. I know what's wrong, but I just can't remember, Doctor.
00:04:38Yeah, I remember so much.
00:04:44Well, never mind. We're home now, and I can find out for myself.
00:04:48Yes, sir.
00:04:52Bessie!
00:04:54Oh, Bessie!
00:04:57Bessie, are you all right?
00:04:59Fine, thank you, Emory. How are you?
00:05:02But what about Mary? Is she all right?
00:05:04Fine. She's just fine, Emory.
00:05:09But, Bessie...
00:05:10Yes, dear?
00:05:11Zero told me...
00:05:12Mary, how does upstairs look?
00:05:14It's all finished, Mother. Just sit down and stop worrying, dear.
00:05:17Oh, Daddy, isn't it all exciting?
00:05:19Isn't what exciting?
00:05:21Where do these flowers go, Mary?
00:05:23Right in that vase, Mother. That's where I just put them.
00:05:25Oh, well, you know how to do it, then.
00:05:30Mary, what's all this excitement about?
00:05:32Zero, where's that silver polish?
00:05:34Polish?
00:05:36Mary, wait a minute.
00:05:37Delia! Delia!
00:05:39Yes, ma'am?
00:05:40Where's the silver polish?
00:05:41Never mind. I've got it.
00:05:43Oh, Daddy, I'm so happy. Aren't you?
00:05:47Delia, come out of that oven and tell me what's going on in this house.
00:05:51I'm sorry, Dr. Tivet. I've got so much work to do,
00:05:54and Miss Tivet told me directly that I wanted to talk to nobody, not even to myself.
00:05:58But what I'm trying to find out is...
00:06:01Don't let me catch you messing with this here pie, you hear me?
00:06:03Delia, what I want to know is...
00:06:05I'm sorry, Doctor, but Miss Tivet doesn't give me strict order.
00:06:09Can't find out anything around here.
00:06:11Nobody wants to tell you what's going on.
00:06:14Ain't nothing much going on here except a new wedding.
00:06:21Wedding?
00:06:22Yes, sir.
00:06:24Who's getting married?
00:06:26Miss Mary.
00:06:28My daughter?
00:06:29Yes, sir.
00:06:33Oh, Mary!
00:06:34Oh, Mary!
00:06:36Mary!
00:06:37Mary!
00:06:38Oh, Mary, I want to talk to you.
00:06:39I beg your pardon, Dr. Tivet. There's something I wanted to ask you.
00:06:41Can't stop now, Jack.
00:06:42But, Doctor, I...
00:06:43I'm sorry, Jeff. Not right now.
00:06:45This is very important.
00:06:46But this is pretty important too, sir.
00:06:48You'll have to see me later, Jeff. I want to talk to Mary.
00:06:50But that's just it. I want to marry her.
00:06:52That's fine, son.
00:06:56What?
00:06:59You want to marry her?
00:07:00Yes, sir.
00:07:01If it's all right with you, sir.
00:07:03Why, sure.
00:07:05Sure, it's all right with me.
00:07:09If it's all right with you, pumpkin.
00:07:13It's all right with me, duck.
00:07:23Bessie!
00:07:24Now, Emery, don't stand there and shout at me.
00:07:28I'm busy. I haven't time.
00:07:31But they're going to get married.
00:07:33Of course they are. That's what I've been telling you.
00:07:36But, Bessie, this is the finest piece of news I've ever heard.
00:07:40It's wonderful.
00:07:41And we'll drink a toast to it right now.
00:07:43Bessie, where is that bottle of real old sherry?
00:07:47Oh, I threw that old sherry away.
00:07:49I have some nice new sherry.
00:07:51I'll show you right where it is in the kitchen.
00:07:53Unless I put it somewhere else.
00:07:55Oh, Mary, put these flowers in water.
00:07:57We want everything to look just right before Mrs. Carter gets here.
00:08:02Sherry.
00:08:03Kitchen.
00:08:10Jeff.
00:08:11Hmm?
00:08:12Did you tell her yet?
00:08:14Mother?
00:08:15I haven't had a chance yet, honey.
00:08:17I figured I'd tell her tonight.
00:08:19Well, I'm kind of worried.
00:08:22You see, your folks have always been so important.
00:08:25And your grandfather and father both being governor.
00:08:28And town named after your family and all that.
00:08:31How's your mother going to feel about my family?
00:08:35I know what you mean, honey.
00:08:37But Mom's really not so bad.
00:08:39She's just got a lot of social ideas.
00:08:41First family stuff and all that.
00:08:43She's going to be all right.
00:08:47I'm the happiest father in the state of Mississippi.
00:08:50So am I.
00:08:59Mr. Doctor, I just remembered the rest of that message.
00:09:02Never mind, Zero.
00:09:04Bessie, I so hope I don't forget again.
00:09:08Jeff, I was just thinking.
00:09:09How would it be if we didn't say anything to your mother tonight about us getting married?
00:09:13Why not? I'm sure she'd be interested too.
00:09:16Well, you see, Mother, Mrs. Carter's always had an idea of Jeff marrying...
00:09:22Well, someone sort of social.
00:09:26Not just a little old country doctor's family.
00:09:30Well, it isn't as bad as that.
00:09:32Jeff, so I thought if we broke a tour kind of easy.
00:09:35You know, like doctors.
00:09:37Give a tour in small doses.
00:09:39Well, that's a good idea, Jeff.
00:09:41Well, to work, to work, to work, to work.
00:09:49Well, I guess I'd better be getting along too.
00:09:51I'll see you to the door, Jeff.
00:09:53Good day, sir.
00:09:55Good day.
00:10:00Now, you're not going to worry about tonight, darling,
00:10:02because everything's going to work out just fine, you hear?
00:10:04I hope so. Hurry back.
00:10:06I will.
00:10:20Doc, I'm sorry I hurt your feelings.
00:10:22I didn't mean what I said about you being a country doctor.
00:10:26Well, what did you mean?
00:10:28Well, I know you're the finest doctor this town has ever had.
00:10:31And you used to be successful.
00:10:33You took care of all the best families.
00:10:35Why, Mrs. Carter used to pay you hundreds of dollars a year, didn't she?
00:10:39Yes.
00:10:40And then one day you insulted her,
00:10:42told her she wasn't sick and didn't need a doctor
00:10:44and you wouldn't come back to see her again.
00:10:46Unless you broke a leg.
00:10:48Didn't you?
00:10:50Yes, but...
00:10:51And it wasn't only Mrs. Carter.
00:10:53You did the same thing to everyone else in town who could really afford a doctor.
00:10:57And now look at us.
00:10:59We owe money to everyone.
00:11:01We don't even own this house.
00:11:03The bank owns it.
00:11:04And Mrs. Carter owns the bank.
00:11:07And we haven't even paid our servants in over a year.
00:11:10Actually, I'm so ashamed I can't hold my head up.
00:11:14I'm sorry, Pumpkins, but...
00:11:16I know, Doc, but what's the matter?
00:11:18What's happened?
00:11:19What is it?
00:11:23That.
00:11:26Oh, what's that got to do with it?
00:11:28Well, I was sitting here reading it one day
00:11:30and I suddenly discovered that it had a lot of sense to it.
00:11:34Especially the part where it says,
00:11:36all men are created equal
00:11:38and are entitled to life, liberty,
00:11:41and the pursuit of happiness.
00:11:44I still don't understand.
00:11:47Oh, Pumpkins, I wasn't happy feeding pink pills
00:11:51to Mrs. Carter and her rich friends.
00:11:54I'd rather do something for somebody that needs a doctor.
00:11:57Even if they can't pay their bills.
00:12:00And besides, I can't see where any man
00:12:04can make a mistake in living up to the Declaration of Independence.
00:12:09Can you?
00:12:11No.
00:12:16Doc.
00:12:18I guess you're still my favorite father.
00:12:22Miss Mary, Miss Timmy would want you in the kitchen right away.
00:12:26Run along, Pumpkins, your mother needs you.
00:12:30I will if you promise me one thing.
00:12:32What?
00:12:34That you won't read it again till after the wedding.
00:12:52Well, that doesn't look right, does it?
00:12:54I done looked all down here and everywhere.
00:12:56That's mighty funny. It was right here ten years ago.
00:12:59Things certainly do get mislaid around this house.
00:13:02Everything mislaid.
00:13:04I've done looked all over for it.
00:13:06Why don't you look down on yourself?
00:13:08I don't look down here.
00:13:10Mother, what are you looking for?
00:13:12You remember that cut glass punch bowl, Mary?
00:13:15The one we borrowed from Mrs. Randolph
00:13:17that she loaned to Mrs. Smith?
00:13:19I wonder where it is.
00:13:20Well, that's our punch bowl.
00:13:22You loaned it to Mrs. Randolph again.
00:13:24Hard times, lies.
00:13:26Zeke, you run down and ask her to lend it to us.
00:13:28Tell her she can borrow it right back again in the morning.
00:13:30Yes, sir.
00:13:31And hurry back to here.
00:13:32Yes, sir.
00:13:33Now, what was I looking for?
00:13:35Bowl, missus.
00:13:36Bowl. Oh, I still think it's down there somewhere.
00:13:38Look in there, dear boy.
00:13:39Yes, my dear.
00:13:40Up up there, do you know?
00:13:42Yeah, I don't know what's in my own kitchen.

00:13:55and across the burning sands of the Sahara.
00:13:58A remedy...
00:13:59A remedy that I've...

00:14:38Senopia!
00:14:48What's the matter, babe?
00:14:50What's the matter?
00:14:51Are you sick?
00:14:52Are you sick!?
00:14:54Can't you tell me?
00:14:56Something's got to be done.
00:14:58Here, here.
00:15:00Here, take this.
00:15:01Here, take this.
00:15:02Take this. Come on. Take this. This will do you good.
00:15:04Come on. Drink it right down.
00:15:06That a girl.
00:15:07Is it funny?
00:15:11She's never acted like this before.
00:15:14Is there a doctor in this town? A good doctor?
00:15:16Dr. Tibbett. He's a good doctor.
00:15:19Well, you go get him right quick and I'll give you a bottle of my tonic for nothing.
00:15:22Yes?
00:15:23Hurry now.
00:15:33Dr. Tibbett. Dr. Tibbett.
00:15:37What's the matter, Zeke?
00:15:38She's sick. She's dying.
00:15:40Who's dying? Where?
00:15:41Over to the carnival. Come quick. She's dying fast.
00:15:45Well, I'd better go and help her.
00:15:47Amy, you can't leave now.
00:15:49Oh, Mrs. Carter will be here any minute.
00:15:51But, Bessie, it's my duty if someone's ill.
00:15:54Oh, she ain't ill. She's sick.
00:15:57Goodbye, dear.
00:15:59Come on, Zeke.
00:16:02Hurry back, Don.
00:16:04Oh, it won't take me long.
00:16:06Well, to work, to work, to work, to work, to work.
00:16:14Professor. Professor.
00:16:16Yes? Yes?
00:16:18Professor, here's Dr. Tibbett.
00:16:20Oh, doctor, thank goodness you're here.
00:16:23Professor, here's Dr. Tibbett.
00:16:25Oh, doctor, thank goodness you're here.
00:16:27What seems to be the matter with her?
00:16:28Oh, I don't know. It's never happened before in all these years we've been together.
00:16:32How old is your wife?
00:16:33That's not my wife.
00:16:35I beg your pardon. How old is the patient?
00:16:38Oh, let me see. I'd say about 104 years.
00:16:42Unusual. Is she an active person?
00:16:45How much does she weigh?
00:16:47Well, I haven't weighed her lately, but I'd judge about 6,172 pounds.
00:16:53Do you feel all right?
00:16:55Why, certainly I feel all right.
00:16:57It isn't me, it's Zenobia.
00:16:59Where is the...
00:17:00She's in here. Come on, hurry up.
00:17:026,000 pounds.
00:17:06There she is.
00:17:13Look here. I'm not an elephant, doctor.
00:17:16Oh, well, then in that case, I don't think I'd trust you with Zenobia.
00:17:20There's nothing too good for her.
00:17:22My dear man, I didn't ask to get that.
00:17:25Doctor Tibbet, please do something. She's sick.
00:17:29Yeah.
00:17:30Well, as long as I'm here, I'll see what I can do for her.
00:17:33Well, that's fine.
00:17:36It's all right, baby. This is the doctor. He'll fix you up.
00:17:46Say, ah.
00:17:47Ah.
00:17:49Not you.
00:17:50Oh, excuse me.
00:17:58I should have brought the thermometer from the back porch.
00:18:01Yeah, she's quite a large girl.
00:18:05Take it easy, babe. Take it easy.
00:18:08Let's see.
00:18:13She hasn't got a temperature.
00:18:14No.
00:18:15Oh, thank goodness.
00:18:17Take it easy now. Down, down, down.
00:18:19You'll exert yourself.
00:18:22What do you hear, doctor?
00:18:24What do you hear?
00:18:26The salute of 21 guns somewhere.
00:18:29Oh, for goodness sakes, what do we do?
00:18:31Well, you must keep her good and warm.
00:18:35I wonder how I'll do that.
00:18:37Well, that's your problem.
00:18:39Oh, yeah, sure.
00:18:40Well, say, doctor. Now, how much do I owe you for this?
00:18:44Forget it.
00:18:45Well, well, thanks.
00:18:47Say, you know what I'll do for you?
00:18:49I'll tell everybody in this town what a fine elephant doctor you turned out to be.
00:18:53Thank you.
00:18:54Sorry.
00:18:55Oh, no, no, no.
00:18:57We must keep the elephant our little secret.
00:19:00Oh.
00:19:02Understand?
00:19:06Good day.
00:19:07Good day.
00:19:09Oh, Mary, have you seen your father?
00:19:11Remember, you sent Zero for him.
00:19:13Did I?
00:19:14Well, let's find Zero, and then we'll know where your father is.
00:19:17Miss Tibbs, I've been looking all around for the doctor, and I ain't seen him.
00:19:20And the doctor showed me the one place I wanted to be hard to see.
00:19:23Oh, Zero, this is so upsetting.
00:19:26Mrs. Carter will be arriving any minute.
00:19:28Now, Mother, he'll be here. He said he would.
00:19:31It'll be all right.
00:19:32So long as he doesn't blurt out everything in front of Mrs. Carter, you know how he is.
00:19:36Miss Mary.
00:19:37Yes, dear?
00:19:38Oh, maybe we shouldn't have invited your father tonight.
00:19:42Here they are.
00:19:43Now, now, don't be excited.
00:19:45Quick, everybody be calm.
00:19:47I'll answer the door myself.
00:19:54Straighten up, Zero.
00:19:55Yes, ma'am.
00:20:02Virginia, my smelling salts.
00:20:04You should answer the door, Zero.
00:20:06Yes, ma'am.
00:20:07Oh, dear.
00:20:08Not till I say you're ready.
00:20:14Mary, ready?
00:20:16Ready.
00:20:17Not yet.
00:20:18No.
00:20:21I think I better...
00:20:22Oh, Mother, please wait a minute.
00:20:23It's just some mistake.
00:20:25Now, don't get yourself all worked up, Mrs. Carter.
00:20:27Thank you, Virginia.
00:20:29What's the matter, Mother? Is anything wrong?
00:20:30Oh, everything's fine, just fine.
00:20:32You sit here, darling.
00:20:33That's right.
00:20:36Ready?
00:20:38Yes.
00:20:44Good evening, Mrs. Carter and Mr. Zero.
00:20:48Good evening, Zero.
00:20:49My smelling salts, Virginia.
00:20:51You have the Mrs. Carter in your hand.
00:20:54Oh, yes, yes, thank you.
00:20:56And Miss Tibbers is waiting in the living room, Mrs. Carter.
00:21:01Come along, dear.
00:21:06Good evening.
00:21:07Oh, good evening.
00:21:10Good evening.
00:21:11Oh, good evening.
00:21:12Mother, this is Mrs. Carter.
00:21:14Oh, is it?
00:21:15Oh, yes.
00:21:16I'm so glad you could come.
00:21:18You know Virginia Reynolds?
00:21:19Of course I do.
00:21:20I hope I'm not intruding.
00:21:22Not at all, dear.
00:21:23I'm happy to have you.
00:21:24Won't you also now?
00:21:26Oh, thank you.
00:21:28So nice of you.
00:21:30I knew you wouldn't mind my bringing Virginia along tonight.
00:21:33She's caught me for me.
00:21:35Well, Mrs. Carter, I'm delighted.
00:21:38There's nothing like company when you want somebody with you.
00:21:41For company.
00:21:43By the way, where is Dr. Tibbet?
00:21:46Mary, why don't you sing something?
00:21:49Why, Mother, you know I can't sing very well.
00:21:51Perhaps Miss Carter would enjoy a nice glass of sherry.
00:21:54Yes.
00:21:55Yes, I think that might help.
00:21:58I feel one of my migraines coming on.
00:22:01I'll get it for you right away, Miss Carter.
00:22:03Let me help you.
00:22:09Oh, Jeff, it's all gone wrong.
00:22:11The whole thing.
00:22:12Oh, Mother's always that way at first, honey, but she'll thaw out.
00:22:15Well, anyway, I'm glad we didn't plan to break the news to her tonight.
00:22:17So am I.
00:22:21Hey, dear, is this what you want?
00:22:23No, that ain't it.
00:22:25Well, if that chicken don't look good enough to eat, I'll eat it.
00:22:28No, you won't.
00:22:30Not even a gizzard?
00:22:31No.
00:22:32Go over there and get me that terrine.
00:22:34Terrine?
00:22:35Terrine, dear.
00:22:36Terrine is for soup, ain't it?
00:22:38Just get it.
00:22:40Well, this is more appropriate.
00:22:44Terrine.
00:22:45And when I consulted the specialists in Vienna about my nose,
00:22:49they told me I had the most unusual case of atrophic rhinitis.
00:22:54A sort of smell blind, you know.
00:22:57Smell blind?
00:22:58Yes, for example, right now, I can almost imagine I smell fried chicken.
00:23:05Don't you like fried chicken?
00:23:07Like fried chicken?
00:23:09Why, it's the worst thing in the world for a person, even with an ordinary stomach.
00:23:14Of course, that's just the way I feel about it myself.
00:23:17Will you excuse me a minute?
00:23:19I think I hear Delia calling me.
00:23:21Oh.
00:23:25Delia.
00:23:26Delia?
00:23:27Yes, ma'am?
00:23:28Chicken, Delia, where's the chicken?
00:23:29Right here, ma'am. Don't it look good?
00:23:31Lovely, perfectly delicious, Delia.
00:23:33Throw it out.
00:23:34Throw it out?
00:23:35Zero, run out and get a pig.
00:23:36Pig?
00:23:37Pig, yes, we're going to have roast pork.
00:23:39Make some apple sauce and things, you know.
00:23:41Well, Miss Timmons, you just can't catch a pig and directly roast pork, is it?
00:23:45You run the kitchen, don't ask me.
00:23:47Well, go on, get the pig.
00:23:49One of ours?
00:23:51Of course, one of ours.
00:23:53Must I get Hannah?
00:23:55Yes, Hannah.
00:23:56Don't bother nobody, Delia. That's the nicest pig we got.
00:23:59A person has to be so careful what they eat.
00:24:02Not something simple like roast pork.
00:24:04Roast pork?
00:24:07Roast pork?
00:24:08Of course, there's nothing worse, you're absolutely right.
00:24:11Just a minute, I think I hear Delia calling me again.
00:24:14I'm always hearing things.
00:24:23Delia? Delia?
00:24:25Yes, ma'am?
00:24:26Roast pork, where's the roast pork?
00:24:27It ain't come yet.
00:24:28Oh, dear.
00:24:30She's a cutie, isn't she?
00:24:33Yes, very cute, isn't he? Turn him loose.
00:24:36Eggs, Delia, get some eggs.
00:24:37Eggs?
00:24:38And a scramble.
00:24:39No, omelette.
00:24:42Mary, while you're down there, get some sherry and please hurry.
00:24:50Get out of here, get that pig out of this kitchen.
00:24:53Oh, dear, a pig, what?
00:24:55Get on out.
00:24:58She's very pretty, isn't she?
00:25:00Yes, very pretty.
00:25:01I mean, she's so attractive, don't you think?
00:25:04Such nice clothes and all.
00:25:06Now, listen.
00:25:08For the hundredth time, I didn't know Mother was bringing Virginia here tonight.
00:25:11I didn't have anything to do with it.
00:25:13Oh, but Jeffrey will understand.
00:25:15I think it's real nice she came along.
00:25:18Here, let me help you.
00:25:21After all, as your mother said, you two were practically brought up together.
00:25:25Now, listen, are you going to stop talking about Virginia or will I have to do something about it?
00:25:29Oh, Jeffrey, I wasn't talking about her.
00:25:31All I said was that...
00:25:33Oh, Jeffrey! Oh, look!
00:25:37Are you going to stop talking about it?
00:25:39Darling, I was only saying that Virginia was a very...
00:25:46Did you call me, Miss Mary?
00:25:48Did you call me, Miss Mary?
00:25:51No, dear.
00:25:59And this one's Dr. Tippett and myself when we were married.
00:26:03Of course, we were younger then.
00:26:08And on our honeymoon, when we went to New York...
00:26:11On my last visit to New York, I consulted four doctors about the diffuse hepatitis.
00:26:17You know, liver.
00:26:19They all agreed they'd never seen anything like it before.
00:26:23How nice.
00:26:28And this one's Mary when she was a little girl.
00:26:32Sitting on my lap.
00:26:33That's me, sitting right here under her.
00:26:37Virginia, my dear, my...
00:26:41Sorry to have been so long, but we had a terrible time finding the sherry, didn't we, Jeff?
00:26:45And it was right in the bottle all the time.
00:26:48Well, here's to you two.
00:26:53Oh, here's to spring.
00:26:58Well, well, well. Here we all are.
00:27:02Hello, dear.
00:27:05Good evening, Mrs. Carter.
00:27:07Good evening.
00:27:08I never saw you looking better in your life.
00:27:10Evidently, you disagree with all the outstanding doctors of this country and Europe.
00:27:15Emery, what kept you so long, dear?
00:27:17Was it an important case?
00:27:19Oh, a big case.
00:27:21The biggest case I've ever had.
00:27:24You know, Dr. Tippett, everyone's been so mysterious.
00:27:28They haven't told me yet why I'm here.
00:27:31But that's just it. We weren't going to tell you until later.
00:27:34Mother.
00:27:35Really, Dr. Tippett, if it's anything concerning your daughter and my son.
00:27:38Mother.
00:27:40Mary and I are going to get married.
00:27:43Why, that's impossible.
00:27:45And just exactly why is it impossible?
00:27:47What's the matter with us?
00:27:49Well, my dear, there's a slight difference in family background.
00:27:53Mrs. Carter, I happen to like my family.
00:27:56Jeffrey, we're leaving this house immediately.
00:27:58I absolutely forbid this marriage.
00:28:01I'm sorry, Mother, but we're going to get married anyway.
00:28:03Oh.
00:28:05Oh, my heart.
00:28:07Oh, my heart.
00:28:09Oh, my.
00:28:11Mary, I'd better take Mother home.
00:28:14Yes, I guess you had.
00:28:16Come along, Mother.
00:28:17Oh, Jeffrey.
00:28:18Come along.
00:28:19Oh, Jeffrey.
00:28:21Oh, my heart, Jeffrey.
00:28:25Edward, do something.
00:28:26There's nothing to do.
00:28:28It isn't our heart, Bessie. It's us.
00:28:36Oh.
00:28:43Denny's now being served.
00:28:46The dining room is...
00:28:49Everybody was here just now.
00:28:52Saw that pork and chicken and stuff.
00:29:02Mary Tibbet.
00:29:04She's so disgustingly healthy.
00:29:06I know, Mrs. Carter.
00:29:07And such an ordinary person.
00:29:09Yes, but Jeffrey's got to find that out for himself.
00:29:12Now, I wonder how.
00:29:15Didn't Mary say she couldn't sing very well?
00:29:19Oh, yes.
00:29:21Yes, I remember.
00:29:24Oh.
00:29:26With music.
00:29:34In honor of Miss Mary Tibbet.
00:29:37Oh, darling.
00:29:38I'm so happy for you.
00:29:40Thank you, Mother.
00:29:41It's mighty nice of Miss Carter to want us.
00:29:43Well, of course she wants us, Denny.
00:29:45I knew she'd come around.
00:29:46It was just a shock when she first heard the good news.
00:29:50Music.
00:29:51Oh, there's no use in my going.
00:29:53I can't play a note.
00:29:54Why, Bessie.
00:29:58Remember?
00:29:59Well, maybe if we practiced a little.
00:30:01All right.
00:30:04All right.
00:30:09Ready?
00:30:21I'm sorry, darling.
00:30:22We'll try it again, dear.
00:30:23Ready?
00:30:34Tell him I'll see him in a few minutes.
00:30:38Doctor.
00:30:39It's about my baby.
00:30:42Hey, Doctor.
00:30:43Music, Bessie, music.
00:30:44Oh, yes, of course.
00:30:45I'll be right back, sir.
00:30:49Will you go away?
00:30:50But, Doctor.
00:30:51I've been up all night with her.
00:30:53Just pacing the floor.
00:30:54Pacing.
00:30:55Pacing.
00:30:56Pacing the floor.
00:31:01Mustard foot bath.
00:31:02We're not going to have any more guesswork.
00:31:04We're going to do this thing scientifically.
00:31:06Well, now, listen.
00:31:07The old-fashioned remedy, you know, is pretty good.
00:31:09If you don't mind, we're going to make a thorough examination from beginning to end.
00:31:14Where are you going to start?
00:31:15We're going to start at the bottom and work up.
00:31:17We're going to subdivide her into zones.
00:31:20Zones?
00:31:21Yes.
00:31:22Now, this will be zone one.
00:31:28Mark her.
00:31:29Mark her.
00:31:41Now, this is zone two.
00:31:46Two.
00:31:55Now, the head will be zone three.
00:32:02Now, zone four, well, we'll get to that later.
00:32:13Now, you hold that.
00:32:17Now, will you have her raise her pedal extremity?
00:32:20Her what?
00:32:21Hoof.
00:32:22Oh, her foot, sure.
00:32:24Come on, baby.
00:32:25Raise your tootsie.
00:32:43Her reflexes are all right.
00:32:47Hold this, please.
00:32:58Sounds very much like a bass drum.
00:33:02Now, for the heart.
00:33:03Now, for the heart.
00:33:14I really don't think there's anything wrong with her heart.
00:33:21Come on out.
00:33:22Keep quiet, I'm trying to listen to her heart.
00:33:24Yeah, but you better come out.
00:33:25Come out quick.
00:33:26How can I hear anything when you keep talking?
00:33:29I know, I know, but you don't know.
00:33:31Get out of here and let's me alone, please.
00:33:33Oh, oh, you better come out.
00:33:35You better come out.
00:33:36She sees a, she sees a M-O-U-S-E.
00:33:41Come on.
00:33:42No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:33:44No, Zenobia, no, don't you.
00:33:46Up, up, Zenobia, get up.
00:33:48Get up.
00:33:49Zenobia, will you get up out of there?
00:33:50You're on the doctor.
00:33:51Get up.
00:33:55There, now, it's gone.
00:33:57Will you get up?
00:33:58Get up.
00:33:59That's it.
00:34:00Stay up there.
00:34:02I told you to come out.
00:34:16I never had a patient do that to me before.
00:34:19That's the last straw.
00:34:20No, no, no, no, you can't go.
00:34:22You can't, you can't go away and leave a poor, dumb animal to suffer like that.
00:34:26Have you no conscience?
00:34:28Have you no feeling?
00:34:30Have you no pride?
00:34:33All right, maybe you're right.
00:34:35I got myself into it.
00:34:37I'll finish it.
00:34:39I guarantee she won't sit on you again.
00:34:42I hope.
00:34:43Oh, doctor, how is her heart?
00:34:45Perfect.
00:34:46Oh, that's good.
00:34:47May I have your trumpet?
00:34:48The trumpet?
00:34:49Yes.
00:34:53Oh, oh.
00:34:55Well, anyway, that isn't stopped up.
00:34:57I'm sorry, doctor.
00:34:58I'm sorry.
00:35:01Would you mind getting me that ladder?
00:35:02Oh, sure, sure, doctor, sure.
00:35:06A ladder.
00:35:07A ladder.
00:35:08I never can't climb a ladder.
00:35:11I'm going to climb the ladder.
00:35:13Oh, all right.
00:35:20Stand still.
00:35:21I'm doing the best I can.
00:35:23Oh, I don't mean you.
00:35:24I mean Zenobia.
00:35:26Oh.
00:35:32This is a fine state of affairs.
00:35:35But Zenobia, this is for your own good.
00:35:37Back, back, back.
00:35:40Back, Zenobia, back.
00:35:43I'm sorry, doctor.
00:35:44It'll never happen again.
00:35:47Touch of alopecia generalis.
00:35:49What's that?
00:35:51A slight touch of baldness, but it's nothing.
00:35:56Maybe she's deaf.
00:35:58Say, that's possible.
00:36:00Hello?
00:36:01Hello, how are you?
00:36:03I'm fine.
00:36:06Hello?
00:36:09Well, she's not deaf.
00:36:11Oh, that's fine, doctor.
00:36:12Now you stop your playing, you understand?
00:36:15Oh.
00:36:19This thing has got me stumped.
00:36:22Yes, me too.
00:36:28Say, has an elephant got a knot in its tail?
00:36:30Oh, no.
00:36:31Why?
00:36:32Oh, nothing.
00:36:44Oh.
00:36:50Now, I wonder who did that.
00:36:52Oh.
00:36:59Look, she feels better already.
00:37:02Well, you won't have to worry with her anymore.
00:37:05Thanks, doctor.
00:37:06You did a great job.
00:37:11What's that for?
00:37:12Oh, don't worry about that.
00:37:13That's nothing.
00:37:14She always does that when she wants to pick me up.
00:37:16Come on, baby.
00:37:17Up we go.
00:37:18Up.
00:37:27Oh.
00:37:28Oh, no.
00:37:29No.
00:37:30No.
00:37:31No.
00:37:32Stop.
00:37:33Look out.
00:37:34Hey.
00:37:35Oh, doctor, that's just her way of showing gratitude.
00:37:37She likes you.
00:37:38I like her, too.
00:37:39But I wouldn't do this to her.
00:37:41Tell her to put me down.
00:37:42Oh, all right.
00:37:43She told me to let him down.
00:37:44Put him down.
00:37:45Nice girl.
00:37:52Say, doctor, I don't know how I'll ever repay you for what you've done.
00:37:55Never mind the pay.
00:37:56I never want to see you and that elephant again as long as I live.
00:38:00But she'll always remember.
00:38:01Remember, an elephant never forgets.
00:38:03Yes, but I'm not an elephant.
00:38:06No.
00:38:07Well, not exactly.
00:38:10Back.
00:38:11Back.
00:38:12Back.
00:38:13Back.
00:38:14Back's enough.
00:38:15Back.
00:38:42Zenobia.
00:38:43Zenobia.
00:38:44You come back here.
00:38:45Come back and get your bag.
00:38:46Zenobia.
00:38:47You know this time here is no good for you.
00:38:50Honey, you're going to be the prettiest girl at the whole reception tonight.
00:38:54Thank you, Delia.
00:38:55Now, please hurry.
00:38:56Hurry?
00:38:57I've been hurrying for the last two hours.
00:38:58Ozzy, where are you?
00:39:00Here I am.
00:39:02Did you get the boot shine?
00:39:03Yes.
00:39:04Oh, that's fine.
00:39:05Now, let's put them on.
00:39:08Dr. Tibbet, will I ever turn white?
00:39:11I'm afraid not, Zeke.
00:39:12Why?
00:39:13Then I'm never going to be nothing else except just what I am.
00:39:16Only bigger.
00:39:17Well, what's wrong with being just what you are?
00:39:20Just that all the other little boys around, they can go to parties.
00:39:24Like the party tonight.
00:39:26Because they're white.
00:39:27And I came because I'm not.
00:39:30Listen, Zeke.
00:39:31You don't go to white folks' parties.
00:39:34I don't go to colored folks' parties.
00:39:36But that makes no real difference.
00:39:39You understand?
00:39:40No, sir.
00:39:42Well, Zeke, it's like this.
00:39:44You know that medicine kit down in my office?
00:39:47Yes, sir.
00:39:48Well, there's black pills in it and there's white pills in it.
00:39:51And they're both good kinds of pills.
00:39:54Some people couldn't do without one kind and some couldn't do without the other.
00:39:59You understand?
00:40:00No, sir.
00:40:02Well, I'll put it another way, then.
00:40:05You know next to that medicine kit what hangs in that big frame over the desk?
00:40:10Yes, sir.
00:40:11Well, that just isn't about countries.
00:40:14That's about people, all kinds.
00:40:16Like black pills, white pills, red, yellow, all colors.
00:40:21What that tells us is that all people can find life, liberty, and happiness.
00:40:29You understand now?
00:40:30No, sir.
00:40:31Not exactly.
00:40:35Come here, Zeke.
00:40:38Did you ever own a quarter?
00:40:40No, sir.
00:40:42Well, you go down in that office and learn a little bit of that every day.
00:40:46And when you get it all learned by heart, I'm going to give you this quarter.
00:40:52Do you understand that?
00:40:54Yes, sir.
00:40:57Coming, dear.
00:40:58Now, don't you forget.
00:40:59I sure won't.
00:41:01All right.
00:41:06Good evening, Miss Carter.
00:41:08Good evening.
00:41:09So nice having you all here.
00:41:11I'm sorry Jeffrey isn't here to receive you, but I asked him to drive over and pick up Virginia.
00:41:16They'll be back directly.
00:41:18Pardon me, ma'am.
00:41:19The governor's in the library, and we should speak to you.
00:41:22Oh, yes, yes.
00:41:23Will you excuse me?
00:41:24Just make yourselves comfortable.
00:41:28Well, I guess we'd better go.
00:41:30Just make yourselves comfortable.
00:41:34Well, I guess we'd better go inside.
00:41:36Yes, darling, that's what we came for.
00:41:39Hello, Miss Randolph.
00:41:42Good evening.
00:41:47Good evening, Mrs. Martin.
00:41:48How do you do?
00:41:53How do you do, Mrs. Webster?
00:41:56Hello.
00:42:00There are lots of nice people at this party, but not many.
00:42:31May I have this dance?
00:42:42May I have the honor of the first dance, pumpkin?
00:42:44Thank you, duck.
00:42:55Oh, what a shame, the dance has already started.
00:43:01Well, we might as well enjoy what's left of it.
00:43:11Wait right here, pumpkins, will you?
00:43:18May I cut in, Jeff?
00:43:21Excuse me, Virginia.
00:43:25If you don't mind, do you, Virginia? Thank you.
00:43:30Hello, Mary. Hello, Jeff.
00:43:32Having a good time, honey? I am now.
00:43:39Pardon me, may I cut in?
00:43:51May I cut in, Missy? Oh, darling, do you mind?
00:43:56No, not at all. Thank you.
00:44:00Thank you.
00:44:18Right after this is over.
00:44:31Sit over here. Sit over here. You listen to me. Sit over here.
00:44:35Hey, that's bad luck. Come back. Sit over here.
00:44:40Sit over here, baby. Listen.
00:44:45And now I have a little surprise for you.
00:44:47There's someone here with a lovely voice.
00:44:50And I'm going to ask her to sing the next refrain.
00:44:53Our guest of honor, Mary Tibbet.
00:45:01Doc, I can't.
00:45:03Even if you can't, pumpkins, do it anyway.
00:45:30In the evening by the moor
00:45:55In the evening by the moor
00:46:01You can hear those darkies singing
00:46:08In the evening by the moor
00:46:16You can hear those banjos ringing
00:46:24How the old folks would enjoy it
00:46:31They would sit all right underneath them
00:46:41As we sang in the evening
00:46:52By the moor
00:46:59By the fair moonlight
00:47:10By the fair moonlight
00:47:20Mary, darling, you were wonderful.
00:47:22Thank you, Jack.
00:47:23Thank you.
00:47:39Gee, much melonsauce.
00:47:49What's the matter with everybody?
00:47:50I don't know.
00:47:54Why, Henry, I didn't know this was a masquerade.
00:47:57Masquerade?
00:48:00Why, it's no masquerade.
00:48:03Oh!
00:48:05Bessie, I think we'd better be going home.
00:48:08You're getting tired.
00:48:09Oh, darling, I'm not tired.
00:48:10Come on, Bessie.
00:48:13Good night, everybody.
00:48:14You've had a lovely time.
00:48:23Ah!
00:48:25Ah!
00:48:28Put me down, I tell you.
00:48:30Put me down.
00:48:32Put me...
00:48:33Somebody do something, poor Henry.
00:48:35Elephant, you put my Henry down.
00:48:39Aha, so there you are, the both of you.
00:48:43Listen here, you can't steal my elephant.
00:48:46But she was a patient.
00:48:47I treated her.
00:48:49I'll have you arrested.
00:48:50I'll take this matter right into court.
00:48:52Yes, it's time somebody did something.
00:48:53Yes.
00:48:54I'll sue you.
00:48:55Yes.
00:48:56Yes.
00:48:57No.
00:48:58No.
00:48:59Oh, yes.
00:49:00I'll go tell the sheriff.
00:49:01Oh, hurry, darling.
00:49:02I certainly will.
00:49:10Darling, don't worry.
00:49:11Everything's going to turn out all right.
00:49:13I hope so, mother.
00:49:15I'm sure nothing else could possibly happen.
00:49:19Henry, look!
00:49:22Look!
00:49:28Henry, how could you?
00:49:30You disgraced your daughter and your home and your wife and...
00:49:33Well, offhand, I can't think of anything else.
00:49:35Bessie, I can explain everything.
00:49:36Let's go inside.
00:49:37No, Henry.
00:49:38You should have more consideration.
00:49:40You can't just drag anybody into your home.
00:49:45Bessie!
00:49:48But you don't understand.
00:49:50Oh, yes, I do.
00:49:51I may be wrong, but I'm not far from it.
00:49:55Good night, dear.
00:49:56Good night.
00:50:00Shoo!
00:50:02Scat!
00:50:04Scat!
00:50:21Scat!
00:50:35Scat!
00:50:36Scat!
00:50:37Scat!
00:50:38Scat!
00:50:39Scat!
00:50:40Scat!
00:50:41Scat!
00:50:42Scat!
00:50:43Scat!
00:50:44Scat!
00:50:45Scat!
00:50:46Scat!
00:50:47Scat!
00:50:48Scat!
00:50:49Scat!
00:50:51Scat!
00:51:02Scat!
00:51:21Go get it.
00:51:40If you insist, Mrs. Carter,
00:51:43but in all the years that I've represented you and your family,
00:51:47I've never been involved in quite this sort of procedure.
00:51:51We have our reasons, Colonel Culpepper.
00:51:53All I'm asking you to do is to win this case.
00:51:56Oh, I'm sure that'll not be difficult.
00:52:00You remember how I told you to start?
00:52:03Oh, uh, in the first place, Zenobi and I...
00:52:07Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I got it. I got it.
00:52:10Well, in the first place, Zenobi and I...
00:52:12Well, in the first place, Zenobi and I...
00:52:16Have you drawn up the complaint, Colonel?
00:52:20Oh, yes, yes, yes. I have it right here in my hand.
00:52:26Well, he ain't home.
00:52:27What? He's not at home?
00:52:28No.
00:52:29Listen, Sheriff, you've got to find him.
00:52:31My whole future depends on that elephant.
00:52:33And if I... if I...
00:52:35Look!
00:52:40What are you waiting here for?
00:52:42Let's go.
00:53:43I... I guess we'd better get a new doctor, Pa.
00:53:46Looks like it, Pa.
00:53:54That's the biggest rabbit I ever saw.
00:54:04Good day, Doctor. Where's your mice, tennis or a bunch of things today?
00:54:06I haven't got time to stop. Where's your back door?
00:54:08Right in the back.
00:54:09Well, what's the matter? What's the matter?
00:54:13Oh, now don't get excited.
00:54:15Excited? Who's excited?
00:54:16Just keep yourself cool.
00:54:18Who isn't cool? I'm always cool.
00:54:35Up, Zenobi.
00:54:42Up, Zenobi.
00:54:59Dr. Tibbitt.
00:55:01Dr. Tibbitt.
00:55:06Well, in the first place, Zenobi and I, we had...
00:55:09Not yet, Professor.
00:55:10Oh, not yet.
00:55:12Do you know where the doctor is?
00:55:14I don't know. I'm so worried.
00:55:16Last time I saw him, he hadn't come back yet.
00:55:22He doesn't seem to be here, Your Honor.
00:55:24Well, if he doesn't show up in five minutes, I'll have to hold him in contempt of court.
00:55:28Where's his attorney?
00:55:29He's declined counsel, Your Honor.
00:55:31Jeff, I'm worried.
00:55:32Because he's not here?
00:55:33No, because of this.
00:55:41Why, they couldn't do this to him.
00:55:43It isn't his fault.
00:55:44They will anyway.
00:55:46Look at the way the people in the town are acting toward him already.
00:55:49Your Honor, may we proceed?
00:55:52Clerk, call the defendant once more.
00:55:55Dr. Tibbitt.
00:55:57Did someone call me?
00:56:05You'll have no levity in this courtroom.
00:56:07You'll have no levity in this courtroom.
00:56:09Dr. Tibbitt, I'm surprised at your lack of consideration for this court.
00:56:14You will please come in here at once.
00:56:16But, Your Honor, I can't.
00:56:18Dr. Tibbitt, you will do as you are ordered.
00:56:21All right.
00:56:24If you insist.
00:56:27Well, in the first place, Zenobia and I...
00:56:29Shh. I'll tell you when to start.
00:56:38It hardly seems necessary for me to request you...
00:56:41to take that thing out of here.
00:56:44All right, but I'll have to take myself out with it.
00:56:47I can't conduct the case without the defendant.
00:56:51What about going outside and looking through the window?
00:56:54Very unusual.
00:56:55But I suppose under the circumstances...
00:56:58Thank you, Your Honor.
00:57:08You may proceed with your witness.
00:57:13Well, in the first place, Zenobia and I...
00:57:16Here I am, Your Honor.
00:57:19What are you waiting for?
00:57:20Proceed, Your Honor.
00:57:23Well, in the first place, Zenobia and I...
00:57:26have been together ever since she was a teeny-weeny little baby...
00:57:2935 or 40 years old.
00:57:31Why?
00:57:33We were like this together...
00:57:35until that scoundrel came between us.
00:57:37You can't say that about Emery Tibbet.
00:57:39Why, he's the dearest, most unscoundrelly...
00:57:44Well, he is anyway.
00:57:51Take that elephant out of this court and go back where you belong.
00:57:53But, Your Honor, my reputation is at stake and that man's maligning me.
00:57:58Instruct your client to be more careful in his language.
00:58:01Thank you.
00:58:06You may continue.
00:58:08Oh.
00:58:10Well, in the first place, Zenobia and I...
00:58:12Wait a minute. Start where you left off.
00:58:14Oh, yes.
00:58:16Well, it all began one day when Zenobia got a kink.
00:58:20A kink?
00:58:21Well, it had an unfortunate entanglement.
00:58:25Anyway, the poor thing was ill and I had to do something.
00:58:29So I summoned that small minion over there.
00:58:31I sent him on an errand of mercy.
00:58:33Little knowing what lay in store for me.
00:58:35Little knowing I was about to lose the elephant...
00:58:37who had worked side by side with me all these years.
00:58:40The elephant who had helped me sell the priceless product of my life's effort.
00:58:44A remedy that I brought at the risk of life and limb...
00:58:47from the teeming jungles of Borneo and the burning sands of the Sahara.
00:58:51Step up closely, ladies and gentlemen.
00:58:52We're not interested in your medicine.
00:58:54Ah, but you haven't tried it, Your Honor.
00:58:56Please accept this with the compliments of J. Thorndyke McCrackle.
00:59:00Stick to the facts, Professor.
00:59:02Oh, yes, yes, the facts. You're right.
00:59:06Well, in the first place...
00:59:09That's all, Professor.
00:59:12Does the defense wish to question the witness?
00:59:15Just one question, Your Honor.
00:59:18Professor, who's putting up the money to pay for your attorney?
00:59:22What? Object!
00:59:25Objection sustained.
00:59:29That's all I wanted to ask.
00:59:31Call the next witness.
00:59:33Mrs. Emory Tibbett.
00:59:35Mrs. Emory Tibbett.
00:59:37Am I finished? Yes, indeed.
00:59:43Be careful, Mother. Don't let him get you confused.
00:59:46Confuse me? Ridiculous.
00:59:52Do you, Thomas, read the testimony...
00:59:54which you're about to give in this case, not pending before this court...
00:59:56the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?
00:59:58I do.
01:00:01Mrs. Tibbett, where were you on the night of April 29th?
01:00:05Let me see. 29th.
01:00:08Oh, I remember.
01:00:10I was at that party that Mrs. Carter gave for Mary.
01:00:13Where were you?
01:00:15Well, that night a few of the boys and myself.
01:00:19That has nothing to do with it.
01:00:21Is it true that after the party at Mrs. Carter's...
01:00:23you refused to let your husband into the house?
01:00:25Well, that is because...
01:00:27The witness will restrict herself to answering questions.
01:00:30All right, John.
01:00:35Is it or is it not true that you locked your husband out of the house?
01:00:39Well, lots of times a wife has a perfectly good reason for what she does.
01:00:42Do you mean to say your wife never locked you out of the house?
01:00:45Well, only once, and that was when...
01:00:48Mrs. Tibbett, have you and your husband ever quarreled before?
01:00:51Why, no. We get along very well.
01:00:53Of course, there's no married couple in the world...
01:00:55that doesn't have a little family squabble now and then.
01:00:58Why, John, I'm sure even you and your wife...
01:01:00have had a little tiff at some time or other.
01:01:03As a matter of fact...
01:01:05last night the wife and I had the darndest fight.
01:01:12Are you through with the witness?
01:01:14Yes, sir, Your Honor.
01:01:16Has the defense any questions to ask the witness?
01:01:19Do you love me, Bessie?
01:01:21Amory, of course I do.
01:01:24That's all, Your Honor.
01:01:31Mrs. Tibbett, you will kindly leave the witness chair.
01:01:34Oh, do you want to sit here?
01:01:36Yes, thank you.
01:01:38Of course not.
01:01:40Your Honor, may I call the next witness?
01:01:42You certainly may.
01:01:43Mr. Jeffrey Carter.
01:01:45Mr. Jeffrey Carter.
01:01:48Mary, I had no idea.
01:01:50Mr. Jeffrey Carter.
01:01:52Good-bye, John.
01:02:02I'm sorry to disappoint you, but you're about to give the case...
01:02:04now that you've proved the score to the truth, the whole truth...
01:02:06and nothing but the truth, so help you God.
01:02:07I do?
01:02:09Mr. Carter...
01:02:11have you ever seen the elephant show great affection for Dr. Tibbett?
01:02:16Please answer the question, Mr. Carter.
01:02:19Yes.
01:02:21On the night of your mother's party...
01:02:23did you see the elephant follow Dr. Tibbett into your house?
01:02:28We're waiting, Mr. Carter.
01:02:30Yes, I did.
01:02:32Did the appearance of the elephant...
01:02:34cause your mother great anguish and humiliation?
01:02:37Please answer, yes or no.
01:02:42Yes.
01:02:45Gentlemen of the jury...
01:02:47it's obvious from the testimony of Mr. Carter...
01:02:50that he's seen the manner in which the defendant...
01:02:52has stolen the affection of this elephant...
01:02:54as well as the sorrow which it resulted from his theft.
01:02:58Your Honor, may I interrupt to ask one question?
01:03:01What is it, Dr. Tibbett?
01:03:03What is the penalty in this state...
01:03:05for stealing the affections of an elephant?
01:03:07The penalty in this state for stealing an elephant...
01:03:10is...
01:03:12well...
01:03:14the...
01:03:17The penalty...
01:03:22As a matter of fact...
01:03:24this court declares a recess for a half hour...
01:03:26while it adjusts the evidence.
01:03:29Court adjourned.
01:03:35Avery, I don't like the way everybody's acting.
01:03:38I'm awfully upset.
01:03:40Don't worry, Mother. This'll wake out somehow.
01:03:42Well, I'll run home and get you a nice cool drink.
01:03:45And some hay for the elephant.
01:03:51Mary, Mary, darling, I'm terribly sorry.
01:03:53But what else could I do?
01:03:55I guess you're right.
01:03:57I guess there's nothing else you know how to do.
01:03:59Maybe from now on you better stick to your mother...
01:04:01and forget all about me.
01:04:04You did pretty well, didn't I?
01:04:06You were terrible.
01:04:07Terrible?
01:04:08I don't think so.
01:04:09It only took me great skills.
01:04:18Imagine, pitching horseshoes...
01:04:20as though nothing were the matter.
01:04:22If I were you, I'd be a good horse.
01:04:25I'd be a good horse.
01:04:27I'd be a good horse.
01:04:29I'd be a good horse.
01:04:31If I were you, I'd be having a nervous breakdown.
01:04:35Better hang on that horseshoe, Doc.
01:04:37You may need it for luck.
01:04:38Joe, if you never do anything to be ashamed of...
01:04:41you don't have to worry about being lucky.
01:04:46Ring it, Dr. Jefferson.
01:04:49Doc, can I see you a minute?
01:04:51Why, sure, Jeff.
01:04:53Take my place, Bill.
01:04:54Sure, Doc.
01:04:57What's the matter, son?
01:04:58Doc, I'm all mixed up.
01:05:00I keep trying to figure this thing out...
01:05:02but it just doesn't add up.
01:05:04Something go wrong between you and Mary?
01:05:07I guess she thinks I listen to other people...
01:05:09and do what they want instead of what I want to do.
01:05:12And what do you think?
01:05:15I don't know what to think.
01:05:18Come here, Zeke.
01:05:19Yes?
01:05:21Once I promised you a quarter if you'd learn something.
01:05:23Yes?
01:05:24Do you want to earn that quarter now?
01:05:26Yes.
01:05:27Declaration of Independence in Congress, July 4th, 1776.
01:05:32Within the course of human events...
01:05:34it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands...
01:05:39which has connected them with another...
01:05:41and to assume among the powers of the earth...
01:05:44separate and equal stations...
01:05:46to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitles them.
01:05:50A decent respect to the opinions of mankind...
01:05:53requires that they should declare the causes...
01:05:56which impels them to the separation.
01:05:58We hold this truth to be self-evident...
01:06:01that all men are created equal...
01:06:03that they are endowed by their creator...
01:06:05with certain unalienable rights...
01:06:08that among these are life, liberty...
01:06:11and the pursuit of happiness.
01:06:13That to secure these rights...
01:06:15governments are instituted among men...
01:06:17deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed...
01:06:20that whenever any form of government...
01:06:23becomes destructive of these ends...
01:06:25it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it...
01:06:29and to institute new governments...
01:06:31laying its foundation on such principles...
01:06:34and organizing its power in such forms...
01:06:37as to them shall seem most likely to affect...
01:06:40their safety and happiness.
01:06:42Prudence indeed will dictate that governments long established...
01:06:46should not be changed for light and transit causes...
01:06:49but accordingly all experience has shown...
01:06:52that mankind are more disposed to suffer...
01:06:54while evils are sufferable...
01:06:57than to right themselves by abolishing the forms...
01:07:00to which they are accustomed.
01:07:02But when a long train of abuses and usurpation...
01:07:05pursuing invariably these same objects...
01:07:08envisages a design to reduce them under absolute despotism...
01:07:12it is their right, it is their duty...
01:07:15to throw off such government...
01:07:17and provide new guards for their future security.
01:07:20Do I get my quarter now?
01:07:22You bet you do.
01:07:25There.
01:07:27Oh, thank you, sir.
01:07:31Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
01:07:44Mother, I'm not going back on the witness stand.
01:07:48Why, Jeffrey.
01:07:49You see, I'm going to marry Mary...
01:07:51if she'll still have me after this.
01:07:54I don't want to hurt you, Mother.
01:07:57So...
01:07:58so I won't say what I'm thinking.
01:08:01But from now on I'm going to live my own life...
01:08:04the way I want to live it.
01:08:06I'm sorry, Mother.
01:08:15The court is about to convene.
01:08:19The court is now in session.
01:08:25Shall we call the witness?
01:08:26Mr. Jeffrey Carter.
01:08:27Well, in the first place, it should all be an eye.
01:08:29Wait.
01:08:30Testimony's finished.
01:08:31Well, give me a chance to shake your head, that's all.
01:08:35Mr. Jeffrey Carter.
01:08:37My son isn't coming back.
01:08:40He's not?
01:08:41No, he's not.
01:08:42He's not?
01:08:43No, he's not.
01:08:44No, he's not.
01:08:45No, he's not.
01:08:46No, he's not.
01:08:47My son isn't coming back.
01:08:51If Your Honor so pleases...
01:08:52I shall like to call the next witness, Mrs. Carter.
01:08:55Proceed.
01:08:57Mrs. Carter.
01:09:00Your Honor.
01:09:01You will please take the witness stand and be sworn in.
01:09:04I'd rather say what I have to say from here.
01:09:07This is a little irregular, Mrs. Carter.
01:09:09I'll reimburse Professor McCrackle...
01:09:11for any damages he may have suffered.
01:09:14I guess I've been very selfish...
01:09:16even though it made a lot of people miserable.
01:09:18I've always taken exactly what I wanted.
01:09:22I almost ruined my own son's happiness.
01:09:27This is the first time I've ever thought...
01:09:31about anybody else.
01:09:35I...
01:09:39I'm sorry.
01:09:41Emily.
01:09:42Emily.
01:09:43Don't be like that.
01:09:44Thank you, my dear.
01:09:47Case...
01:09:49dismissed.
01:10:03Oh, I'm so glad to see you.
01:10:05Good evening.
01:10:06Is everything all ready?
01:10:07Oh, yes, we've been ready for hours.
01:10:09Just go in.
01:10:11Oh, Emory, Emory.
01:10:12Good evening, Mrs. Carter.
01:10:13Just go in.
01:10:16Zero, have you seen the doctor?
01:10:18Not since dinner time.
01:10:19About early this morning, Mrs. Carter.
01:10:21Zero, you drive me distracted.
01:10:27Is she all right, Doctor?
01:10:28She's getting along fine.
01:10:29Oh, wonderful.
01:10:30You have nothing to worry about.
01:10:32Oh, thank you, Doctor.
01:10:34Thanks.
01:10:35I...
01:10:36My daughter's wedding.
01:10:37Oh.
01:10:38It's mine.
01:10:40Emily, be careful.
01:10:42You have hydrophobia.
01:10:43Heart, you know.
01:10:45Heart?
01:10:46Oh, there's nothing there for my heart.
01:10:49Oh, of course there isn't, darling.
01:10:51Well, to work, to work, to work, to work.
01:10:54To work, to work, to work, to work.
01:10:57Come along, darling.
01:11:00Do I look all right?
01:11:01Oh, you look lovely.
01:11:02I remember when I was a bride.
01:11:05I wish I could forget it, though.
01:11:07It's only started now, these years.
01:11:10I wonder where Amory is.
01:11:18What's the matter, Doctor?
01:11:19Is the elephant chasing you?
01:11:20No, and she won't chase me anymore.
01:11:23But she sure needed me.
01:11:39Amory.
