00:00:30Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry,
00:01:00Don't play that Applejack. I'm leaving.
00:01:11Julie! Will you go down to the station and get me
00:01:17a ticket on the 11 o'clock? And cash that check for me.
00:01:21And this will do for you. I'd like you to drive me to the train.
00:01:25Julie, you had better think this over. I have been thinking it over, Applejack.
00:01:29You and Roger have been married a long time.
00:01:32We don't need each other anymore.
00:01:34Well, that happens to two people.
00:01:37Nothing left.
00:01:59♪
00:02:28♪
00:02:42♪ You were meant for me.
00:02:50I was meant for you.
00:02:55For you, for you, for you.
00:02:59♪
00:03:03You were meant for me.
00:03:11I was meant for you.
00:03:16For you, for you, for you.
00:03:20For you, for you, for you.
00:03:23For you, for you, for you.
00:03:27You're like a plaintive melody.
00:03:36That never lets me free.
00:03:44For I'm content.
00:03:48The angels must have sent you and they meant you just for me.
00:03:59What can I do for you?
00:04:02Oh, the record department.
00:04:04They're right here.
00:04:12How about that one up there, that book?
00:04:14Beethoven?
00:04:15Yeah, it's the furthest one, isn't it?
00:04:17Number seven.
00:04:24Keep it down.
00:04:29Needles?
00:04:30No, no.
00:04:32Who plays the sheet music here?
00:04:34I do.
00:04:35Oh, you do that?
00:04:36Mm-hmm.
00:04:38Would you mind playing that for me, please?
00:04:40Certainly, I'll be glad to.
00:04:47And I'm content.
00:04:50The angels must have sent you and they meant you just for me.
00:05:01New tune, isn't it?
00:05:04I beg your pardon?
00:05:08It's a new tune.
00:05:10I didn't hear it.
00:05:11Yes, it just came in.
00:05:16Would be nice to dance to.
00:05:18It is.
00:05:21What's on the other side?
00:05:22Well, it's another new one.
00:05:26Do you mind playing it for me?
00:05:27No.
00:05:30Thanks, mate.
00:05:42For I'm content.
00:05:46The angels must have sent you and they meant you just for me.
00:06:10Good night.
00:06:11Night.
00:06:14Buy a flower, mister.
00:06:25I'm going this way, honest.
00:06:27I'm going this way too, honest.
00:06:45What's the matter?
00:06:46Nothing.
00:06:47I live here, that's all.
00:06:48Oh.
00:06:52Night.
00:06:53Good night.
00:06:55Oh.
00:07:00Do you mind if I ask you a personal question?
00:07:03I guess not.
00:07:06Have you got a Victrola inside?
00:07:09Why, yes, of course.
00:07:11Would you let me hear this one?
00:07:13Otherwise, I'll have to take it home and imagine how it sounds.
00:07:16Don't you have a machine at home?
00:07:18No.
00:07:21Well, why on earth did you buy a 27?
00:07:31Ha, ha, ha.
00:07:41In my dreams it seems your face is near to me.
00:07:50And it's near to me.
00:07:54No, it's just a memory.
00:08:11Oh.
00:08:29Mmm.
00:08:38Ahh!
00:08:53What are you thinking about?
00:08:55That's our song they're playing.
00:08:59At least that's what you said when we were dancing.
00:09:03What are you thinking about?
00:09:06Oh, just wishing.
00:09:08Wishing I could be with you every day like this.
00:09:12I mean, I wish every day could be a holiday like this.
00:09:16I mean, never have to go back home, never have to go back to work.
00:09:20Perfect, wouldn't it?
00:09:35What's it say?
00:09:36Oh, nothing, it's silly.
00:09:38Come on.
00:09:39Oh, no, really, it's silly.
00:09:45Oh, those things with all the bungs have never come true.
00:10:02Oh, beat it.
00:10:06You don't like kids very much, do you?
00:10:08Oh, I like them all right, except when they're pests.
00:10:16What's it say?
00:10:17Hmm?
00:10:18Come on.
00:10:19Oh, nothing.
00:10:20Come on, tell me.
00:10:28Come on.
00:10:35Unromantic.
00:10:39Boo!
00:10:41I thought you said we were going to have the place to ourselves.
00:10:44Oh, well, just the ocean, the beach, I couldn't get.
00:10:47Hey, you're doing all right.
00:10:49Two or three more lessons, you'll be able to swim.
00:10:51You can almost float now.
00:10:53When your arms are holding me out.
00:10:55Oh, well, when you're with me, you're safe.
00:11:07I don't know whether it's safe or not.
00:11:10I'm down to find you, either.
00:11:16We'll be getting late.
00:11:17Let's get dressed.
00:11:18I'm down, there's plenty of time.
00:11:20Oh, I'm thinking about that last train home.
00:11:24Come on, Rog.
00:11:25Get dressed.
00:11:27All right.
00:11:40It's Zane!
00:11:43Hey, uh, put them someplace where you can grab them fast.
00:11:46I don't belong here.
00:11:48Well, of course you belong here, didn't I invite you?
00:11:51Come on in and meet some of my friends.
00:11:53Gosh, no.
00:11:54Is there a drink in the house?
00:11:56Right off the boat, that's what the bootlegger said.
00:11:58Did he say what boat?
00:11:59Oh, what boat would you like?
00:12:01We have all the labels.
00:12:02Come on, help yourself.
00:12:05You?
00:12:06Never use it.
00:12:19You know, this party might turn out all right at that.
00:12:24Where's Roger?
00:12:26I thought maybe you'd know.
00:12:30Pretty crazy about that reporter, aren't you?
00:12:34I'm sort of fond of him.
00:12:36That's bad.
00:12:37I hate to see a nice girl like you get mixed up with a newspaper man.
00:12:42Gosh, you never know what they're up to.
00:12:43They can get away with anything.
00:12:45Hell if I know they're working.
00:12:49Of course, a lot of fun ducking around interviewing chorus girls and all that sort of thing.
00:12:56You seem to swell.
00:12:58You're married.
00:12:59Applejack, listen, don't worry about me.
00:13:01I don't need any advice.
00:13:03I've never even thought about getting married.
00:13:06No fooling?
00:13:07No fooling.
00:13:10Well, that's more I'd say.
00:13:12Well, what?
00:13:13I've been telling him for six months if he didn't keep away from you, he'd find himself married.
00:13:41Julia, I've got to talk to you right away.
00:13:53Why couldn't you be alone?
00:13:56I've had a real break.
00:13:58Flynn quit his job over in Tokyo.
00:14:00He's our Japanese correspondent.
00:14:02He got fed up with the assignment or the weather or something.
00:14:04Imagine the spot they left the paper in.
00:14:06Only one man in the Orient and he walked out on a job.
00:14:09Oh, darling, you're cold.
00:14:10Come here.
00:14:11Here, put this around you.
00:14:12I'm just excited.
00:14:15There we are.
00:14:16You're going to take his place.
00:14:18Well, that's what they want me to do.
00:14:20I've got a ticket here for the train that leaves at 3 a.m.
00:14:23Gets me to San Francisco just in time to catch the next boat for Yokohama.
00:14:28I can't believe it yet, Julia.
00:14:30Imagine them picking me.
00:14:32Well, you're able, Roger.
00:14:33You have ability.
00:14:34Anybody can see that.
00:14:37You're going, huh?
00:14:40That's what I want to talk to you about, honey.
00:14:42It's a good salary, two-year contract, and I'm more or less my own boss.
00:14:46It's the kind of opportunity I've always wanted.
00:14:49So, look, dear, I was wondering...
00:14:51Listen, little boy.
00:14:53Of course I want you to go.
00:14:55That's what's worrying you.
00:14:57Please don't think...
00:14:58No, I wasn't worrying about that.
00:15:01I knew you'd want me to take the job.
00:15:03Sure, but...
00:15:05Julia, let's get married.
00:15:09Let's get married right away tonight.
00:15:12I'll be there to send for you in three months.
00:15:13I'll have the money then.
00:15:16Three months?
00:15:18Why the rush to get married now?
00:15:21Well, what, do you think I'm going to let a funny little redhead like you run around loose here?
00:15:25Suppose some other fella came along and...
00:15:28Oh, Julia, I've got to have you.
00:15:36I'll be back.
00:15:42Is it till death do us part?
00:15:45It won't be till death do us part.
00:15:48Help me, help me!
00:15:51Help me, help me!
00:15:54Help me, I'm here!
00:15:56Help me, I'm here!
00:15:58Help me, I'm here!
00:16:00Help me, I'm here!
00:16:02Help me, I'm here!
00:16:04Help me, I'm here!
00:16:06I've got a cat waiting on you.
00:16:08Happy New Year!
00:16:11For auld lang syne!
00:16:16For auld lang syne!
00:16:22For auld lang syne!
00:16:30For richer, for poorer.
00:16:35For richer, for poorer.
00:16:37In sickness and in health.
00:16:39In sickness and in health.
00:16:42To love and to cherish.
00:16:45To love and to cherish.
00:16:48Till death do us part.
00:16:52Till death do us part.
00:17:00Oh, there you are.
00:17:01Well, we made it.
00:17:04Well, goodbye, Abba Jacqueline.
00:17:06Goodbye, boy.
00:17:07Keep an eye on Julie for me.
00:17:08I sure will, boy.
00:17:10So long, Doc.
00:17:11Take good care of her.
00:17:12I will, boy.
00:17:14Goodbye, honey.
00:17:17Goodbye, darling.
00:17:20Excuse me a minute, will you?
00:17:22Wait for me.
00:17:23All right.
00:17:25Well, Roger, I can't say goodbye.
00:17:27Here you are, sir.
00:17:32Thank you.
00:17:33Thank you.
00:17:34Goodbye, darling.
00:17:35Just see you later.
00:17:38Anything I can do for you, boss?
00:17:40How soon does the train pull out?
00:17:41About three minutes, sir.
00:17:42Thank you.
00:17:46Well, Mrs. Adams?
00:17:48Mrs. Adams.
00:17:49Sounds strange, doesn't it?
00:17:52Not strange.
00:17:53Sounds great.
00:17:55It does sound great, doesn't it?
00:17:56Yes, darling.
00:18:06There's something about a train.
00:18:08I don't know whether it's the way it looks or the way it smells or what it is.
00:18:12It always makes me feel I want to be off somewhere.
00:18:15Yes, darling.
00:18:17I know.
00:18:18I always feel the same way.
00:18:20Oh, Roger.
00:18:22I wish this was our honeymoon.
00:18:24I do too, darling.
00:18:33Promise me something, will you?
00:18:36Promise me never to take it off.
00:18:38I'll never take it off.
00:18:40No matter what happens.
00:18:42Thank you, darling.
00:18:55Roger, the train's moving.
00:18:57I'll get you off.
00:19:27Thank you.
00:19:45Forward!
00:19:57Right here, Mark.
00:19:58Come on, Mark.
00:20:29Roger!
00:20:30Darling.
00:20:31Darling.
00:20:32Oh.
00:20:33Sweetheart.
00:20:34Oh.
00:20:36Darling.
00:20:39Darling.
00:20:42Oh.
00:20:45Sweetheart.
00:20:48Oh.
00:20:51Oh.
00:21:06Well, here we are.
00:21:12Ours?
00:21:13Yours.
00:21:15Roger, I didn't expect anything like this.
00:21:25It's like something in a dream.
00:21:28She's our servant.
00:21:29Cook Sam or Hammer Sam?
00:21:31How do you do?
00:21:33Well, hello.
00:21:34Hello.
00:21:35Hello.
00:21:36Hello.
00:21:37Hello there.
00:21:41Hello.
00:21:42Hello.
00:21:44Who is it?
00:21:47The servant's children.
00:21:48They live here.
00:21:49I thought you didn't like children.
00:21:51Who, me?
00:21:52They're all right.
00:21:54Come on in.
00:21:55How do you like the place?
00:21:57It's lovely.
00:21:59But it's so luxurious.
00:22:01How do we afford it?
00:22:02Oh, now don't be so practical when I'm being highly romantic.
00:22:05Nothing's too good for my little wife.
00:22:07Come on, sit.
00:22:08How do you like that?
00:22:10It's beautiful.
00:22:12Oh, you are sweet.
00:22:14But I'd have been satisfied with anything just to be here.
00:22:17Oh, I know you would, darling, but only the best for you.
00:22:20Come on, we have an upstairs to this house, too.
00:22:22We have a see-in, too.
00:22:23What's a see-in, too?
00:22:24A see-in, too, is a Japanese word for bedroom, believe it or not.
00:22:27That's right.
00:22:28You wrote me.
00:22:29It's so Japanese.
00:22:30Roger, it's perfect.
00:22:33Simply perfect.
00:22:35I thought you'd like it.
00:22:40Hello, girl.
00:22:42Well, Roger, are we going to keep it?
00:22:44I mean, stay here right along?
00:22:45Why, certainly.
00:22:46It's yours.
00:22:47I bought the lease from an American and went back.
00:22:50I got the lease, the furniture, two servants, three kids, a cat and her kid.
00:22:54All for 2,000 yen.
00:22:562,000 yen?
00:22:58How much is that?
00:22:59Oh, about $1,000.
00:23:01$1,000?
00:23:03That's right.
00:23:05How in the world do you do it?
00:23:06I mean, you get the money to send for me and buy all this, too.
00:23:09Well, I got an advance.
00:23:11An advance?
00:23:12Sure.
00:23:13An advance on my salary.
00:23:14Well, everybody does out here.
00:23:17Only the other day, a fellow down at the office was saying he wished April was here.
00:23:21And I said, why?
00:23:22And he said, well, so that I can get an advance on my December salary.
00:23:31Oh, now, darling.
00:23:33You're not going to be one of those wives always worried about money, are you?
00:23:36Oh, no.
00:23:38No, only...
00:23:39Besides, you forget we still got the inheritance.
00:23:41Yes, I know, but I sort of hate to start off in debt.
00:23:46Especially...
00:23:47You've got a lot to learn about the Orient.
00:23:51Roger.
00:23:56Remember this?
00:23:59Sure, it's one of those fortune things you got at the beach.
00:24:01I fancy you keeping that.
00:24:04They're not always the plump.
00:24:06You said that.
00:24:07Did I say that?
00:24:08Well, well.
00:24:09Sometimes, like wishes, they come true.
00:24:12Oh, sure they do.
00:24:14Certainly.
00:24:32Well, why didn't you tell me?
00:24:35Why didn't you write me?
00:24:37You don't like them.
00:24:39I don't like them?
00:24:40Well, of course I do.
00:24:42Why would I have three of them running around the house?
00:24:45And this would be our own.
00:24:47An American kid.
00:24:49Our own.
00:24:51Yeah.
00:24:52Gee, that's great.
00:24:54Oh, Roger.
00:24:58Oh, I was so relieved.
00:25:02Well, you're a funny little redhead.
00:25:09He's fine kimono.
00:25:11Very expensive.
00:25:14Husband must be rich man.
00:25:17He's either rich or...
00:25:22Hi.
00:25:41What are you doing home this time of the day?
00:25:43What makes you so beautiful, huh?
00:25:44Roger, how'd you get off so early?
00:25:45Come on, let me see you.
00:25:49Well, if having babies makes you look like this,
00:25:51we'd better keep on having them.
00:25:53How do you like it?
00:25:54Oh, Roger, I adore it.
00:25:56But why all this today?
00:25:57This isn't my birthday.
00:25:58Oh, it's a souvenir.
00:25:59It's a souvenir of your stay in Japan
00:26:00because, darling, we're leaving.
00:26:02Leaving Japan?
00:26:03Mm-hmm.
00:26:04Now brace yourself for good news, Mrs. Adams,
00:26:06because good news is what I bring.
00:26:08We now belong to that class of society
00:26:10known as the filthy rich.
00:26:12Roger, the inheritance.
00:26:14Yes.
00:26:15You got it.
00:26:16Oh!
00:26:19It's wonderful.
00:26:20There, now you see?
00:26:21You didn't believe me about it, did you?
00:26:22No.
00:26:23No, I didn't.
00:26:24Is it great?
00:26:27Thank you, Roger, darling.
00:26:29Thank you, Roger.
00:26:30Oh, that's all right.
00:26:33I'm teaching him to be a first baseman.
00:26:38Now, paragraph two,
00:26:40Mr. and Mrs. Roger Adams,
00:26:41socially prominent young couple,
00:26:43plan to take a trip around the world.
00:26:45The paper's sending you.
00:26:46No, I've quit the paper.
00:26:48We're going to have a last fling
00:26:49before we settle down
00:26:50and become good old American parents.
00:26:51But, Roger, you just didn't give up your job
00:26:53on the paper for no reason at all.
00:26:55Oh, darling, this trip's an inspiration.
00:26:57Do you remember the honeymoon I promised you?
00:26:59Well, we're going to have it.
00:27:00But things are different now.
00:27:02We've got to think about the baby.
00:27:03Well, as just did.
00:27:04As soon as the baby comes,
00:27:05we won't be able to go anywhere.
00:27:06Besides, I want our baby born in the USA.
00:27:09Then we can get to work
00:27:10and start that little paper.
00:27:12Oh, but a trip like this costs a fortune.
00:27:15Did you get more than the 20,000?
00:27:19Well, no, as a matter of fact,
00:27:20we didn't get the 20,000.
00:27:21We sold the property for cash
00:27:22and got 13,500.
00:27:25Well, can you take a trip
00:27:26and buy a paper and all that
00:27:27on 13,500?
00:27:28Oh, don't forget to steal
00:27:29lawyer's fees and deductions,
00:27:30stuff like that.
00:27:32Just how much did you get, Roger?
00:27:35I'm trying to tell you.
00:27:36After the deductions, we got 10,000.
00:27:3910,000?
00:27:40Mm-hmm.
00:27:41But I still got a couple of thousand
00:27:42in bills around here to pay.
00:27:45Then you really only got $8,000.
00:27:48Yes.
00:27:51But did you ever have that much money
00:27:52in your life?
00:27:54No.
00:27:55Well, then what are you squawking about?
00:27:58I'm not squawking.
00:28:00I just think you're acting like a child.
00:28:03We should be thinking about the future.
00:28:06You rush in and pack up your things
00:28:07and give up a perfectly good job.
00:28:10No grown-up man should act like that.
00:28:11All right.
00:28:13I thought the trip would be a lot of fun for you.
00:28:15If I'd known you were going to feel like that,
00:28:16I wouldn't have planned on it.
00:28:19That's all right. Let's forget it.
00:28:20We won't go.
00:28:24I'll go in and arrange for the packing.
00:28:27No, no, forget about it.
00:28:37Come on.
00:29:07Let's go.
00:29:37Let's go.
00:30:07Well, that's all.
00:30:14Otherwise, you'll enjoy perfect health.
00:30:17We are playing tennis in a couple of months.
00:30:20Now I've got some good news for you.
00:30:23I'm letting your husband see you today.
00:30:25How's that?
00:30:26Pretty.
00:30:27Make you feel better?
00:30:30I've had my hands full keeping that boy out of here
00:30:32for the last couple of days.
00:30:37Come on.
00:30:53Hello, darling.
00:30:54Hello, Vulture.
00:30:57Well, sweet.
00:31:07How are you?
00:31:31Gee, I've been miserable not being to see you, honey.
00:31:37Well, I've had a chance to do some serious thinking, dear.
00:31:42I've been scouting around the nearby towns
00:31:43trying to look for that little newspaper, you know.
00:31:51No more silly ideas like traveling around, darling.
00:31:54You were absolutely right about that.
00:32:00I think I found it, honey.
00:32:04There's a little town just north of here,
00:32:06a place called Rosalia.
00:32:08Did you ever hear of it?
00:32:10No.
00:32:21Well, it's pretty nearly the kind of place we wanted.
00:32:26Well, there's a fellow who owns the newspaper
00:32:28who's been kind of letting it go to seed,
00:32:29but we can make something of it.
00:32:33The best of all, darling, we'll have a home of our own.
00:32:37Something we can always call ours.
00:32:39And if I can make a go of the paper,
00:32:40I'll be able to get you anything you want.
00:32:43Yeah, I'll be able to get you furniture,
00:32:45a car, clothes, everything.
00:32:51You know, it's strange, Roger,
00:32:54but I can't get myself to care about those things now.
00:32:59They don't seem important anymore.
00:33:04The one thing I've really wanted,
00:33:09I'm never going to have.
00:33:29I'm never going to have.
00:33:59I'm never going to have.
00:34:29I'm never going to have.
00:34:59I'm never going to have.
00:35:02I'm never going to have.
00:35:27Well, what do you think of this one, Skeeter?
00:35:29Quite an improvement.
00:35:31Gee, Mr. Adams, I'd like to get a job
00:35:33with a live wire outfit like this.
00:35:35You would?
00:35:36All right, Skeeter, you've got one,
00:35:37and a permanent job, too.
00:35:39Oh, boy.
00:36:02Applejack!
00:36:03Howdy, big shot.
00:36:04Hello, fella.
00:36:05How's the old married man?
00:36:06Well, you had me worried.
00:36:07I thought you were going to let me down.
00:36:09So this is the fastest-growing little newspaper
00:36:11in the fastest-growing little town in the West.
00:36:13Certainly.
00:36:14Now, that's the bulletin for this.
00:36:16What you got here?
00:36:18It's all new makeup.
00:36:19What do you think of it?
00:36:24What do you print it in, code?
00:36:26Oh, no, the Linotype machine is stuck.
00:36:28Why do you think I sent for you?
00:36:30Applejack!
00:36:32Miss Julie!
00:36:33Am I glad to see you.
00:36:36Come on up and help me fix the bathtub.
00:36:38You're just in time.
00:36:39Wait a minute.
00:36:40Let him fix this first.
00:36:41All right.
00:36:42The newspaper always comes first around here.
00:36:46Come on.
00:36:50What have you been feeding it?
00:36:53The switch on?
00:36:54Yeah.
00:37:00Now, where's that bathtub?
00:37:30Come on.
00:37:52Hello, Applejack.
00:37:53Oh, I didn't know you were busy.
00:37:55Oh, I'm not busy.
00:37:57I've just been thinking about fixing up this old store.
00:38:00Yeah, I just wanted to show you a new ad we got from the telephone company.
00:38:04Well, that helps, doesn't it?
00:38:06Sure does.
00:38:07You know, if we keep on, we'll pay the paper bill next month.
00:38:11Roger back yet?
00:38:12No, he's still out running down subscriptions.
00:38:15Said he might not be home until late.
00:38:18Oh, well, come on then.
00:38:19Sit down, Applejack.
00:38:20We might as well have our dinner.
00:38:28You know, Miss Julie?
00:38:30We ought to have a kid around this house.
00:38:35I thought you knew about that, Applejack.
00:38:38Oh, sure, I know about that.
00:38:40But I'm talking about adopting one.
00:38:46Sure, you can get some pretty good ones that way.
00:38:50You know, I would adopt a kid myself.
00:38:53I know that's not much of a recommendation, but it didn't turn out so bad.
00:38:58Besides, I know a lot of regular kids that wound up in jail.
00:39:05Miss Julie, I wish you could have seen some of those little sons of guns I used to room with.
00:39:10They were the cutest little rascals you'd ever want to look at.
00:39:15I don't think Roger would want a child that way, Applejack.
00:39:18One that wasn't his own.
00:39:20Why not?
00:39:21He's no sucker.
00:39:22He don't want to gamble.
00:39:24How do you know what it's going to be like if it's got to be your own?
00:39:27This way, you just walk in and help yourself to exactly what you want.
00:39:31And there's no guesswork.
00:39:37You know, I've thought a lot about that.
00:39:42You know, I've thought a lot about that.
00:39:45I want one.
00:39:50Roger was so disappointed when...
00:39:53I just haven't had the courage to...
00:39:55Miss Julie, do you want to know something?
00:39:58He's all for the idea.
00:40:01Only a few days ago we were working together and I was talking with him.
00:40:07You were talking to him about this?
00:40:09Sure.
00:40:10He's all for it.
00:40:12Why didn't he say something to me?
00:40:15Look, he was afraid to say anything to you.
00:40:17He was afraid you might have some fool notions.
00:40:22Silly notions.
00:40:26Why, if he only knew how many...
00:40:31What the very idea.
00:40:33My own husband talking about things like this with the printer.
00:40:38My own husband talking about things like this with the printer.
00:40:44Press manager, please.
00:40:45All right, the press manager.
00:40:47Are you going to be the mother?
00:40:49No, I just thought I...
00:40:51I'm saying.
00:40:53Where did I get my hands on that fellow?
00:40:57Hello, what's going on? A fight?
00:41:00Hello, Roger.
00:41:01Roger, I want you to look at that new ad. Would you come downstairs?
00:41:04Roger, wait a minute.
00:41:05Applejack.
00:41:06Why didn't you tell me?
00:41:08Tell you what?
00:41:09What you and Applejack have been talking about.
00:41:11Miss Julie, I told you in confidence.
00:41:15What were we talking about?
00:41:16What did you say to her?
00:41:17You know, about the...
00:41:19He told me.
00:41:21Told you what?
00:41:23Well, you know what we were talking about, silly.
00:41:25What were we talking about?
00:41:27Roger, if you wanted to adopt a baby, why didn't you talk to me?
00:41:31Yes, you should have told her by ranks in the first place, Roger, not me.
00:41:34I'm not going to be the mother.
00:41:36Wait a minute, did you tell Julie I wanted to adopt a baby?
00:41:40Well, I hinted at it.
00:41:42I tried to break it to her gently and she...
00:41:45Oh, you told her?
00:41:46Yeah.
00:41:47Roger, I'm so glad to hear that way.
00:41:50Yeah, she wants it even more than you, Roger.
00:41:53Well, if that's the way we all feel about it.
00:41:55I like it too.
00:41:56I suppose it's settled.
00:41:58Oh, Roger, I'm so glad.
00:42:00If it hadn't been for Applejack letting it slip out, I don't suppose I ever would have known.
00:42:04Guess I'd better go fix that press.
00:42:06Yeah, you'd fix everything else, don't you?
00:42:08Didn't do so bad of a bet.
00:42:11Well, Julie, while I think of it...
00:42:14Look, now...
00:42:16When you get to this place, don't get enthusiastic right off the bat.
00:42:19You know, don't just rush in and grab the first kid you see and go nuts about it.
00:42:25What makes you think I'll grab the first one they show me?
00:42:28I've been doing the shopping in this family for some time now.
00:42:31I just don't bring home anything.
00:42:34I don't know. You came home with this tie, did you?
00:42:36Oh, it's nice.
00:42:38Everybody's wearing bow ties.
00:42:39I know.
00:42:41I have your letter here.
00:42:44Two-year-old child.
00:42:45Blue eyes, curly hair, dimpled chin, sweet disposition.
00:42:49Well, we prefer a boy.
00:42:51But we'd like to look at the girl too.
00:42:53Well, now, Julie, you know we agreed on a boy.
00:42:55Well, it won't hurt to look, will it?
00:42:57All right, we'll look.
00:42:58Now, what can you show us?
00:43:00Well, this is the administration building.
00:43:02We don't have any children here at all.
00:43:04Oh.
00:43:06Everybody wants blue eyes, curly hair, dimples, sweet...
00:43:10Everybody wants a two-year-old child.
00:43:12Will you tell me why?
00:43:15Well, you see, in our case, that would have been the age of our own child if...
00:43:21Oh.
00:43:23I see.
00:43:24Anyway, when they're two years old, they're more or less housebroken then, aren't they?
00:43:29Well, not always.
00:43:37At the moment, we haven't any children available at all.
00:43:40There's a long waiting list.
00:43:41There are three applications for every child.
00:43:44If you get one within a year, you'll be lucky.
00:43:46What?
00:43:47A year.
00:43:49A year?
00:43:50If you get one within a year, you'll be lucky.
00:43:52What?
00:43:53A year.
00:43:54You mean to say we might have to wait a year?
00:43:57Well, after all, real parents wait almost a year.
00:44:00Well, yes, certainly, but...
00:44:01No, but you see, we've waited so long already.
00:44:05I know, my dear, but you're both very young.
00:44:08Then, too, we have to have time to make our investigation.
00:44:12Investigation?
00:44:13Yes, you see, we're just as particular about you as prospective parents as you are about the child.
00:44:19Naturally.
00:44:21What is your business, Mr. Adams?
00:44:24I'm a publisher. I run the Rosalia Courier.
00:44:27Publisher?
00:44:28Sure.
00:44:30I beg your pardon.
00:44:32Mrs. Green is on the phone.
00:44:34What shall I tell her?
00:44:36Oh, tell her that we're sorry.
00:44:40But according to our investigator's report, we find that Mr. Green doesn't have a steady income.
00:44:45Later, perhaps, if he finds himself better situated, we'll reconsider their application.
00:44:52You see, it's not our aim to place our children in homes of wealth,
00:44:56but it's absolutely necessary for us to have the assurance that the adoptive parents are financially responsible.
00:45:02Oh, sure.
00:45:04I see in your letter that you live in the country.
00:45:07Good.
00:45:08I presume that means, then, that you have a house and yard.
00:45:12Well, uh...
00:45:13No, we don't have a yard.
00:45:15We live in an apartment.
00:45:18But there's a nice park nearby.
00:45:20Oh, yeah, we've got a small roof, too.
00:45:22We've been putting a fence around it.
00:45:24And I could build a slide and a sandbox.
00:45:27As a matter of fact, a roof is better for a kid because then he can't get out on the street, you see.
00:45:32Look, it doesn't have to be a yard, does it?
00:45:34No.
00:45:36But you have a separate room for the child, haven't you? That's very important.
00:45:39Oh, sure.
00:45:40Oh, yes, yes, we have a lovely room. It's practically fixed up now.
00:45:44Oh, well, that's fine.
00:45:46Now, about income.
00:45:50Approximately, how much do you make a week?
00:45:55Well, I... I couldn't tell you offhand.
00:45:58I imagine about $100 a week.
00:46:00Of course, I'd have to look at the books.
00:46:02Well, that's excellent.
00:46:03You'll just take that application home with you.
00:46:06Fill it out and mail it in to us so we'll have all the details.
00:46:09And then in due time, one of our investigators will call on you.
00:46:12Oh, fine.
00:46:14You'll... you'll call us before she comes, won't you?
00:46:17No.
00:46:18We just drop in. That's our policy.
00:46:20You see, we want to find your house as it really is, every day.
00:46:24Not when it's fixed up for company.
00:46:26Oh, I see.
00:46:27Goodbye.
00:46:29Goodbye, Miss Oliver.
00:46:30Goodbye.
00:46:32Oh, uh...
00:46:34It doesn't matter if he hasn't got curly hair.
00:46:36It doesn't really matter.
00:46:39Goodbye.
00:46:45Hi.
00:46:46Hey, they're darn choosy if you ask me.
00:46:48Don't you have to be a big shot?
00:46:50When?
00:46:51You know we don't make $100 a week.
00:46:53You want the baby, don't you?
00:46:55They can't prove it. We don't keep books.
00:47:03Hey, quit stalling. Get on with the cleaning.
00:47:05Look, honey, left from the earthquake.
00:47:06Want your pen?
00:47:07One more.
00:47:29Excuse me, lady.
00:47:30We should give a fellow a warning.
00:47:33Does Mrs. Adams live here?
00:47:34Yes, upstairs. I'll call her.
00:47:36No, don't bother.
00:47:37I'm Miss Oliver from the orphanage.
00:47:39I'll find her.
00:47:40Well, I don't think she's home just now.
00:47:42I think she's in church.
00:47:44In church this time of day?
00:47:46Well, uh...
00:47:48You see, she and Mr. Adams go there quite a lot.
00:47:51They just go there and sit.
00:47:53Fine people they are.
00:47:55Hmm?
00:48:05Well, I'm sure that she won't mind if I just look around a bit.
00:48:09No, uh...
00:48:10No, she won't mind.
00:48:55How do you do, Miss Oliver?
00:48:56How do you do, Miss Adams?
00:48:58Oh, I'm sorry.
00:48:59It's all right.
00:49:03Won't you sit down?
00:49:09Here.
00:49:10No, thank you.
00:49:15You've come to see the apartment?
00:49:17That's right.
00:49:20Oh.
00:49:21This is it.
00:49:22It's...
00:49:23It's not very neat at the moment.
00:49:25We're cleaning.
00:49:27I see.
00:49:31Uh, that's our little breakfast room out there.
00:49:37And, uh...
00:49:39You'll step right this way.
00:49:47That's our kitchen.
00:49:49That's our kitchen.
00:49:56My husband's the new cook this morning.
00:49:58I'm sure of it.
00:50:00I'm so pleased to see you all.
00:50:06And, uh...
00:50:08That brings us back to the...
00:50:11See, the breakfast room.
00:50:19Can I fix you a cup of tea?
00:50:21No, thank you.
00:50:23You spoke of a child's room.
00:50:25A lovely room.
00:50:27Yes.
00:50:28Yes, that's over here.
00:50:30Oh, this is sweet.
00:50:33You really like it?
00:50:34Any child would be lucky to have a room like this.
00:50:38Oh, well, I want you to see our yard.
00:50:40We're fixing that up, too.
00:50:42Oh.
00:50:43Oh.
00:50:44Oh.
00:50:45Oh.
00:50:46Oh.
00:50:47Oh.
00:50:48Oh.
00:50:49Oh.
00:50:50Oh.
00:50:51Oh.
00:50:52Oh.
00:50:53Oh.
00:50:54Oh.
00:50:55Oh.
00:50:56Oh.
00:50:57Oh.
00:50:58Well, we're fixing that up, too.
00:51:04Well!
00:51:06Well, hello, Miss Oliver.
00:51:07Scatter.
00:51:08I didn't expect you.
00:51:10I just finished making it.
00:51:11Thought I'd try it out, see if I was strong enough for that two-year-old.
00:51:15I think I have a surprise for you.
00:51:18A baby came in yesterday.
00:51:20Miss Oliver, you mean...
00:51:22Here, come and sit down.
00:51:26Sit down.
00:51:28That's the reason that we came around to see you sooner than we expected.
00:51:31It's a little girl.
00:51:34We don't want a girl.
00:51:38Five weeks and three days old.
00:51:41Five weeks?
00:51:45Well, uh, we did speak of an older child, you know.
00:51:48You might have to wait a long time.
00:51:51After all, aren't you making too great a point of the child's age, Mr. Adams?
00:51:56Eventually, this child will be two years old.
00:52:00But we don't know anything about such little babies.
00:52:03Well, no one does until they have them.
00:52:06And this is such an unusual little baby.
00:52:09Actually, there's another couple who has first choice.
00:52:12Now, that's strictly off the record.
00:52:14But somehow I feel she's exactly the child for you.
00:52:17That's why I wanted you to see her first, and I couldn't resist giving you the chance.
00:52:21Did you bring her with you?
00:52:23No, she's in the nursery.
00:52:24You and Mr. Adams will have to come over to the city to see her.
00:52:29What's she like, Miss Oliver?
00:52:31Well, I can't describe her exactly, but she's...
00:52:37Well, she's like no other child.
00:52:42Like no other child.
00:52:45But she isn't a boy.
00:52:50But look, Roger, there's no harm in looking at her.
00:52:52If you don't like her, I won't say a word.
00:52:54What's the use? We don't want her.
00:53:00Please, darling.
00:53:02It won't hurt to look at her.
00:53:08Oh, all right, we'll look.
00:53:10Well, that's fine.
00:53:11You call me up, and I'll make an appointment at the nursery.
00:53:14I must go now.
00:53:18Oh, if you change your mind, you will call me up, won't you?
00:53:23Yes, yes.
00:53:26Miss Oliver, please don't show her to that other couple until we've seen her, will you?
00:53:31I won't, my dear.
00:53:52Ah!
00:53:53Come on!
00:53:55Please.
00:54:21She's like no other child.
00:54:24That's why I wanted you to see her first, like no other child.
00:54:41Well, how about him?
00:54:45This is a day nursery. All these youngsters have parents.
00:54:49All except this lovely little girl.
00:54:55What a grip.
00:54:59For a girl, I mean.
00:55:01Would you like to hold him?
00:55:04Why, I...
00:55:25I can't take the ball.
00:55:47What about the kid?
00:55:55Well, uh, you've had your look, dear. How about going back home?
00:56:05Oh, she's yours, I guess.
00:56:10When do we get her?
00:56:12Now, if you like.
00:56:14She's yours on a year's probation.
00:56:16Donald?
00:56:18You mean we can just walk out of here with her like this?
00:56:21It sometimes happens that way.
00:56:23If we make sure that the parents and the baby are just right for each other.
00:56:29Well...
00:56:30We have no clothes for her, and we don't know how to feed her.
00:56:33Such a little baby.
00:56:34Well, Miss Morgan will take care of everything.
00:56:37She'll give you the formula and so forth, and then you can go downtown and buy whatever's necessary.
00:56:49Thank you, Miss Oliver, for being so kind.
00:56:51Oh, don't thank me. It just happens so.
00:56:54Perhaps before you make up your mind fully to take the child, you'd like to have me go into her history.
00:57:00I can assure you it's an excellent one.
00:57:04If she'll take a chance on us, we'll take a chance on her.
00:57:08Goodbye.
00:57:09Goodbye, Miss Oliver.
00:57:19I'll shut the door.
00:57:22Goodbye.
00:57:33If she wakes up again, you know what that means.
00:57:40Wait a minute. Wait for that baby while I turn on the light.
00:57:43I don't want you to stop it. I mean her.
00:57:51Come on.
00:58:21Come on.
00:58:51Come on.
00:59:09Take off your shoes.
00:59:21Take off your shoes.
00:59:52Go get the big one in by our room.
01:00:13Let me have it.
01:00:21Come on.
01:00:27It's all right.
01:00:29Come on. Let's go to bed.
01:00:31No.
01:00:48I don't think I'll go to bed.
01:00:50She eats again in a half hour.
01:00:53Direction say so.
01:00:55I'll set the alarm. Come on.
01:01:03Turn the big clothes down.
01:01:15Turn it off.
01:01:17Shut it off.
01:01:19Push it off.
01:01:32Shut up.
01:01:33Please.
01:01:46Please.
01:02:12What's the matter with her?
01:02:13I don't know. Do you think she's all right?
01:02:16I don't know.
01:02:24Is it breathing?
01:02:34She's certainly a good little baby, isn't she?
01:02:37We were lucky to get her.
01:02:39Let's go to bed.
01:02:43Let's go to bed.
01:03:08Let's go to bed.
01:03:39Do something, quickly.
01:03:46I do.
01:03:49Do something. Can't you see the baby's suffering?
01:03:52I don't know what to do.
01:03:59Don't just stand there. Do something.
01:04:06You do something.
01:04:08Do something.
01:04:18Oh, no. No, I'm going to get this all over her.
01:04:39I'm going to get this all over her.
01:04:50She just wanted her daddy.

01:07:36The baby!
01:07:37It's gone!
01:07:39The baby's dead, lad!
01:07:59It was lonesome, so I brought it in here with us.
01:08:02Don't ever do that to me again!
01:08:16Morning, boys.
01:08:32Hey!
01:08:33What are you trying to do?
01:08:34Shut it off!
01:08:44Now, what are you trying to do?
01:08:45What am I trying to do?
01:08:46Well, I'm trying to get your crummy paper out.
01:08:48That's what I'm trying to do.
01:08:49What's your idea of waking the baby up?
01:08:51What baby?
01:08:52My baby!
01:08:53Your baby?
01:08:54Yeah.
01:08:55Came last night.
01:08:56No fooling her, baby.
01:08:59Your baby!
01:09:02Come on.
01:09:03I'll show you.
01:09:29Come on.
01:09:43Can I help?
01:09:44No.
01:09:59Help!
01:10:14Sure you don't want me to help?
01:10:16No, thanks.
01:10:28Come on.
01:10:58Come on.
01:11:28Come on.
01:11:46What's the matter?
01:11:47Nothing's the matter.
01:11:59What's the trouble?
01:12:01I can't do anything as long as you're sitting around here watching me.
01:12:04Get out.
01:12:05Go on, get out, all of you.
01:12:06What do you think you're doing?
01:12:07Come on, get out.
01:12:08Come on now, get out that paper.
01:12:10And be quiet about it.
01:12:14Oh, I'm out of paper.
01:12:16I'm afraid I'll drown.
01:12:17Oh, no, darling.
01:12:18No, no.
01:12:19Take it easy.
01:12:20I could drown in that much water.
01:12:22Here.
01:12:23Come on.
01:12:24Cheer up.
01:12:25Here.
01:12:26Cheer up.
01:12:42Oh, you're a peanut.
01:12:48Your Uncle Applejack's gonna give you a nice bath.
01:12:55Give me that wash rag.
01:12:56Huh?
01:12:57There we are.
01:13:07She'll never be able to do that.
01:13:09We'll have to give her back.
01:13:10Sure you will.
01:13:11I'll tell you these, you know.
01:13:12All you got to do is decide whose boss you're in.
01:13:17Well, did you ever learn to do that, Applejack?
01:13:19My sister had four kids.
01:13:21She took two and I take two.
01:13:26Oh.
01:13:28It's so pretty.
01:13:36Where's that towel?
01:13:37Huh?
01:13:44There we are.
01:13:46There we are.
01:13:48We'll dry it a while.
01:13:51Where's the towel come from?
01:13:53Here.
01:14:12Goochie-goochie-goo.
01:14:15Goochie-goochie-goo.
01:14:17Goochie-goochie-goo.
01:14:20Where is it?
01:14:21What?
01:14:22It.
01:14:23Oh.
01:14:27There we are.
01:14:29Yes, sir, who's your mighty fine girl?
01:14:40Just a minute now.
01:14:42Here.
01:14:50Think you can hold this a minute without dropping it?
01:14:52Oh, sure.
01:14:53Oh, baby.
01:14:54Oh, honey.
01:14:55Yes, yes, yes, yes.
01:14:59Here, give it here.
01:15:01I forget whether to.
01:15:04Now, watch this closely.
01:15:13I'm a one-pin man myself.
01:15:19There you are.
01:15:20You can jump right in there, Peanut.
01:15:28You can go to your mama.
01:15:34Hey, you better write all that down because I might get a better offer.
01:15:42All right.
01:16:01Just Molly and me
01:16:06And baby makes three
01:16:10We're happy in my
01:16:15She hasn't got you a smile, Robin.
01:16:16Oh, sure, she's good-looking.
01:16:20Still sorry she wasn't a boy?
01:16:22Huh? A boy?
01:16:23What do you mean a boy?
01:16:24Shh, let her hear that.
01:16:25You wanted a boy, I didn't want a boy.
01:16:28Treat her as daddy's little girl, how'd you treat her?
01:16:40Oh, Roger, be careful now.
01:16:53Hello.
01:17:00Hello, Miss Oliver.
01:17:01How do you do, Miss Adams?
01:17:02Come in.
01:17:04Thank you so much for letting us know you were coming this time.
01:17:08Hello, Miss Oliver.
01:17:09Oh, how do you do, Mr. Adams?
01:17:10Peanut, this is your fairy godmother, Miss Oliver.
01:17:14Say hello, sweetheart.
01:17:16Yes, she's not very timid, is she?
01:17:20I can plainly see that she adores her father.
01:17:24She means everything to him.
01:17:25Oh, she might get a cold.
01:17:28Yes, she'd do everything.
01:17:30When are we going to get to own her outright?
01:17:32You go before the judge.
01:17:33Twenty-seven, huh?
01:17:34You'll want to see these charts, I suppose.
01:17:36Yes.
01:17:43One you can send back to us.
01:17:46And the other you'll file with the court.
01:17:48At the court with the final papers.
01:17:52These are the same questions that you answered last year.
01:17:55We just want to bring them up to now.
01:17:57Thank you.
01:17:59These are the same questions that you answered last year.
01:18:02We just want to bring them up to date.
01:18:05Now, let's see.
01:18:07Religion?
01:18:10Same.
01:18:20Age?
01:18:23One year older.
01:18:25I have that.
01:18:28Profession?
01:18:30Still publisher, isn't it?
01:18:33Yes.
01:18:37Income?
01:18:43Income?
01:18:46Well, you see, Miss Oliver...
01:18:49None.
01:18:58None.
01:19:17Oh, that's the way it is in the newspaper game, Miss Oliver.
01:19:20Especially when you're starting one of your own.
01:19:23You'll have to close down once before you really get going.
01:19:26Ah, it's only temporary.
01:19:28I'm having a jam in my wholesale paper mill.
01:19:30First thing you know, I'll have it humming by the 27th.
01:19:34I'll only close for a while.
01:19:39I'm sure you'll find a way, Mr. Adams.
01:19:45But you and I have to prove to the judge
01:19:48that your income is enough to take care of Trina.
01:19:52You know we'd give Trina everything she needed, Miss Oliver,
01:19:55no matter who else had to suffer around here.
01:19:58I realize that.
01:20:09Well, I must go now.
01:20:10That's all we can do today.
01:20:13Could I drive you to the train?
01:20:16No, thank you. I really like to walk.
01:20:19This country air is so fresh.
01:20:22Goodbye.
01:20:28Oh.
01:20:32Madeleine, she doesn't want us to have Trina.
01:20:35Yes, she does, darling.
01:20:40Oh, yes, she does.
01:20:58Oh.
01:21:29Oh.
01:21:40Oh.
01:21:41Oh.
01:21:45Oh.
01:21:46Oh.
01:21:57Oh.
01:21:58Bye.
01:22:12Oh.
01:22:15Oh.
01:22:16Oh.
01:22:20Oh.
01:22:41Oh.
01:23:03You need to better prepare your facts.
01:23:06Option received. The Adams case.
01:23:08What?
01:23:09The Adams case.
01:23:11Oh, yes, yes.
01:23:13If either one or both of you gentlemen conduct yourselves like you've been doing today,
01:23:17I'll hold you in contempt, the both of you.
01:23:29Oh.
01:23:31Oh, this is a startling question.
01:23:33Let me think.
01:23:41Yes, let's see.
01:23:49Looking over these adoption papers here,
01:23:53I see that you have no income at present.
01:23:56Is that correct?
01:23:58Yes, Your Honor.
01:23:59What is this, Miss Oliver? You know, this case should never have come before me.
01:24:04Well, Your Honor, I feel that this is a special case.
01:24:07I kept hoping until the last minute that Mr. Adams might be able to resume the office,
01:24:11his paper, or get a job.
01:24:14But, unfortunately, he hasn't been able to do either.
01:24:17So I thought...
01:24:18Under these conditions, I cannot grant the adoption.
01:24:22This child will have to revert to the orphanage.
01:24:26Will you draw up a chair, please, while I prepare these release papers for you to sign?
01:24:38Oh, it's just a matter of routine.
01:24:56If you please, Your Honor,
01:24:58it can't just be a matter of routine for people to have their baby taken away from them.
01:25:02This child is ours, Judge.
01:25:04Those are the requirements of the law.
01:25:08Yes, but you see, we've had her since she was six weeks old.
01:25:12It just doesn't seem reasonable that we should have to give her back now to strangers.
01:25:16Mr. Adams, you're not here to plead your case.
01:25:20You've had the regular opportunity to prove your fitness to provide.
01:25:26We are fit, Judge, if you just look at the record.
01:25:29Without any income, I have no alternative.
01:25:34Didn't you make that clear, Miss Oliver?
01:25:36Yes, Your Honor, I did, but I thought...
01:25:38I'm sorry, but that is the law.
01:26:00Look, Your Honor,
01:26:01she's not like an automobile or an icebox or a piece of furniture or something you buy on time,
01:26:05and then when you can't give up the payments, they take it away from you.
01:26:09Now sit still and be a good girl.
01:26:12Anyone can give up those kind of things.
01:26:14But I ask you, Judge, how can you give up your own child?
01:26:17And she is our child, just as much as if she'd been born to us.
01:26:22No, no, Daddy's not going to go away, dear.
01:26:30Look, Judge, we've had her over a year now.
01:26:34Why, we've walked the floor with her when she had the colic.
01:26:37We've lost nights of sleep worrying every time she cut a tooth.
01:26:40We've gone through everything.
01:26:41Everything that real parents have is one of their own.
01:26:44Ask Miss Oliver here about the inspections we've had to have.
01:26:48Her weight charts, her vaccination certificates, her toys, her dresses, her toothbrush.
01:26:53They come around regularly and check up on all those things to see if we're taking care of her properly.
01:26:58How many real parents could keep one of their own and go through that?
01:27:03And you sit there and say it's a matter of routine for you to take her away from us.
01:27:06Please, Mr. Adams.
01:27:13I'm sorry, Judge.
01:27:22Well, you see, we weren't as fortunate as most people.
01:27:25We'd have had one of our own.
01:27:29You don't know how badly my wife wanted a child.
01:27:33It wasn't so important to me.
01:27:35I don't know, I suppose most men are like this, but children never meant a great deal to me.
01:27:39Oh, I liked them all right, I suppose.
01:27:43But what I'm trying to say is, Your Honor, the first time I saw her...
01:27:49She looked so little and helpless.
01:27:52I didn't know babies were so little.
01:27:56And then when she took hold of my finger and held on to it, she just sort of walked into my heart, Judge, and she was there to stay.
01:28:03I didn't know I could feel like that.
01:28:07I'd always been, well, kind of careless and irresponsible.
01:28:12I wanted to be a big shot.
01:28:15I couldn't work for anybody, I had to be my own boss, that sort of thing.
01:28:22Now here I am standing in front of a judge pleading for just a little longer so that I can prove to you I can support a little child that doesn't weigh quite 20 pounds.
01:28:35It's not only for my wife and me I'm asking you to let us keep her, Judge. It's for her sake, too.
01:28:41She doesn't know any parents but us. She wouldn't know what had happened to her.
01:28:46You see, there's so many little things about her that nobody would understand the way Julie and I do.
01:28:52We love her, Judge.
01:28:54Please don't take her away from us.
01:28:59Look, I'm not a big shot now. I'll do anything, I'll work for anybody.
01:29:04I'll bank, I'll borrow.
01:29:07Please, Judge, I'll sell anything I've got until I get going again.
01:29:11She'll never go hungry, she'll never be without clothes, not as long as I've got two good hands to help me.
01:29:41♪♪
01:30:11♪♪
01:30:39She's yours, dear.
01:30:42Now and forever.
01:30:47Oh, Trina.
01:30:51Nothing can ever take her from us now.
01:31:11♪♪
01:31:23You'd better hurry up, Daddy. Mommy'll be home any minute now.
01:31:27Yeah. Well, look, dear, you go and watch for her. Let me know when she comes, huh?
01:31:35How's it getting along, Applejack?
01:31:37Ain't she a beauty?
01:31:42Here she comes.
01:31:43What, now? Well, let's get the presents, quick.
01:31:47Oh, here she comes. We'll get them later.
01:32:12Where is everybody?
01:32:16Trina!
01:32:20Trina?
01:32:22Where could everybody be this time of the day?
01:32:24Surprise!
01:32:26Surprise! Happy birthday!
01:32:28Happy birthday, darling.
01:32:31Come on, sit down. Trina's going to make a present.
01:32:32I'd almost forgotten today was my birthday.
01:32:36This is from Daddy.
01:32:38Daddy?
01:32:42My Roger.
01:32:44I always wanted one like that.
01:32:49Darling.
01:32:51I'm glad you like it, darling.
01:32:54And this is from Uncle Applejack.
01:32:56Uncle Applejack?
01:32:59Oh, I think I can guess what this is.
01:33:03I'll get you.
01:33:06Oh, it's beautiful, Applejack.
01:33:08It's beautiful, Applejack.
01:33:09I always figure a person can't have too many handkerchiefs.
01:33:13Thank you.
01:33:17And this is from me.
01:33:19From you.
01:33:23I can't imagine what this is.
01:33:28I got you a record because you love records.
01:33:32And because you and Daddy love each other so much.
01:33:35Oh, Trina, that's sweet, darling.
01:33:39Thank you.
01:33:40Come on, let's play.
01:33:41See, I'll go.
01:33:45Dinner's ready. Come and get it or I'll throw it in the creek.
01:33:49Oh, this is wonderful.
01:33:51Dinner in my own home and I didn't have to cook it.
01:33:58Well.
01:34:00Well.
01:34:18Well, we sure changed the complexion of that bird.
01:34:21We certainly did.
01:34:24What did you do in school today, darling?
01:34:26Oh, I almost forgot, I was choosed.
01:34:28I'm going to be in the Christmas play.
01:34:33In the Christmas play?
01:34:35What are you going to do?
01:34:37I'm going to sing in the carolers.
01:34:39Oh, Trina, that's wonderful.
01:34:41It'll be fun making you a carolers costume.
01:34:44I don't need any costume.
01:34:45Nobody sees me.
01:34:47Nobody sees you.
01:34:49All I have to wear is a clean dress and some sneakers.
01:34:52I'm the echo.
01:34:54I'm way off behind the scenes.
01:34:57You only hear my voice.
01:34:59Miss Hopkins says it gives a far away sound.
01:35:03Like angels in heaven.
01:35:05Well, why do you have to wear the sneakers?
01:35:07The sneakers are so I'll be quiet.
01:35:09I have to walk up in the sky behind a cloud.
01:35:12And take a big star with me.
01:35:14Then when I get over the manger, I stop.
01:35:16And then the angels sing.
01:35:18And when my turn comes, I sing the echo.
01:35:21Then I sneak off quietly.
01:35:23And next year when I'm big,
01:35:24I get to be an angel and wear an angel suit.
01:35:28I'll get seen then.
01:35:32Of course you'll get seen then, darling.
01:35:36This is a long time until next year, Daddy.
01:35:40Oh, no, darling.
01:35:42We'll be here in no time at all.
01:35:55Oh, I forgot.
01:35:57My, what happened to the lights?
01:35:59Shh.
01:36:01Did you see the lights go out?
01:36:03Happy birthday to you.
01:36:07Happy birthday to you.
01:36:10Happy birthday, dear Mommy.
01:36:14Happy birthday to you.
01:36:24Hurry up, Mommy.
01:36:26I'll park the car.
01:36:28All right, see you out front.
01:36:30Come on.
01:36:55Round yon virgin Mother and Child
01:37:05Holy infant so tender and mild
01:37:15Sleep in heavenly peace
01:37:24Sleep in heavenly peace
01:37:34Silent night
01:37:40Shepherds quake
01:37:50Holy stream from heaven afar
01:38:05Ooh
01:38:15Christ the Savior is born
01:38:24Christ the Savior is born
01:38:38Silent night
01:38:45Holy night
01:38:50Shepherds quake
01:38:55at the sight
01:39:00Holy stream from heaven afar
01:39:10Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia
01:39:20Christ the Savior is born
01:39:29Christ the Savior is born
01:40:00I spoiled everything.
01:40:03Now Miss Hopkins won't let me be an angel next year.
01:40:07Yes, she will, darling.
01:40:09Certainly.
01:40:11Yes, I was talking to her.
01:40:13She said you did fine.
01:40:15Well, you were better than all the rest of them put together.
01:40:18See?
01:40:20Honest?
01:40:22Honest.
01:40:23See, I don't know what people do without Christmas.
01:40:27Oh, I don't know what we'd do without you, honey.
01:40:30See, I don't know what people do without Christmas.

01:43:57Oh, I don't know what we'd do without you, honey.
01:44:15Would you please stop that door from banging?
01:44:28Would you please stop that door from banging?
01:44:51I wish you wouldn't go out.
01:44:54I better get out of here and get some fresh air.
01:45:00Isn't that someone downstairs?
01:45:08There's someone at the front door.
01:45:23May I use your phone, please? Our car is stalled and I'd like to call a taxi.
01:45:27It's right here on the desk if you'll just look around that way.
01:45:32I saw your light burning and we're in such a hurry.
01:45:54Cabs are always busy on a night like this.
01:46:01I do hope we can get one. Mommy's in the Christmas play.
01:46:10I hope we don't get late, Mommy.
01:46:17Our car's right out front. I'll drive you over if you like.
01:46:20Oh, that's very kind of you, but wouldn't be too much trouble.
01:46:24Not too much trouble.
01:46:26Come with me.
01:46:30You can't start the car. The battery's dead. I'll have to crank it.
01:46:50I do hope we're not late, Mama.
01:47:06I can't thank you enough. If you only knew what these things mean to a child.
01:47:11Let's get out of here.
01:47:23Roger.
01:47:27I'm sorry.
01:47:29I'm sorry.
01:47:31I'm sorry.
01:47:33I'm sorry.
01:47:35I'm sorry.
01:47:37I'm sorry.
01:47:38I'm sorry.
01:47:54What's the matter?
01:48:04Take the car on home.
01:48:08Roger.
01:48:09I'm not coming home.
01:48:11I don't ever want to see anything or anyone that reminds me.
01:48:17All right.
01:48:20Goodbye.
01:48:38Laughed at the rain together.
01:48:44Sang love's refrain together.
01:48:51We'll always be together.
01:49:08You were meant for me.
01:49:16I was meant for you.
01:49:24You were meant for me.
01:49:32I was meant for you.
01:49:41Nature patterned you and when she was done.
01:49:49You were all the sweet thing.
01:49:54Those fool songs kind of take you back, don't they?
01:49:59Yes, they do take you back.
01:50:03Did you decide which ones you're going to keep and which ones you're going to leave for him?
01:50:09Funny, Applejack.
01:50:12I can't seem to divide them.
01:50:14They belong to both of us.
01:50:19Guess I'll just leave them.
01:50:24Well, I was listening downstairs there.
01:50:27I could remember just as clear the first time I ever saw you.
01:50:31Roger brought you into the bulletin.
01:50:34I was cussing and pounding that old machine.
01:50:36I was cussing and pounding that old machine.
01:50:41Gee, you didn't know we was all going to get to know each other so well then, did you?
01:50:45Would you get the rest of the things out of the bedroom for me, please?
01:51:06I don't blame you, Julie.
01:51:26I don't blame you at all.
01:51:27You should leave me.
01:51:33Why did you say it, honey?
01:51:34It's all true.
01:51:37I haven't done any one of the big things I planned to do for you.
01:51:41But right where we started, I'm still struggling.
01:51:46I've let you down all around, honey.
01:51:52Well, all I needed to make it 100% was for you to leave me.
01:51:56And I can't think of a reason in the world for you not to.
01:52:01I'm licked, Julie.
01:52:03You're not licked, Roger.
01:52:05It's just us.
01:52:07We're licked as far as our being together is concerned.
01:52:12When something really came along that hit us hard enough, we couldn't face it together.
01:52:25I needed you an awful lot these last few days.
01:52:28But you've been miles away.
01:52:31I've been entirely alone.
01:52:34Right here in this room with you.
01:52:36I know, dear.
01:52:38I wish I could do something to help you, too.
01:52:43It just hasn't worked out.
01:52:49I'm sorry.
01:52:51I'm sorry.
01:52:53I'm sorry.
01:52:55I'm sorry.
01:52:57I'm sorry.
01:52:59I'm sorry.
01:53:01I'm sorry.
01:53:03I'm sorry.
01:53:05I'm sorry.
01:53:08I'm sorry.
01:53:10God did work out, Julie.
01:53:14Things were wonderful until this happened to us.
01:53:17I don't know.
01:53:20I just haven't been able to think straight the last few days.
01:53:25She was never sick before, and then all of a sudden it was all over.
01:53:32There was only some way that people could know a few days ahead what was going to happen.
01:53:35Yeah.
01:53:37The day before she was taken sick, she asked me for a quarter, and I wouldn't let her have it.
01:53:43She asked me to take her to the movies, and I said, no, run along, I'm too busy.
01:53:47I know.
01:53:49It was the same with me.
01:53:51I was trying on her angel costume, and she was so excited she couldn't stand still.
01:53:58I scolded her.
01:54:00I said,
01:54:01I said,
01:54:03I'll never try another dress on you again.
01:54:08I never did.
01:54:20Yeah?
01:54:22Oh.
01:54:26Hello.
01:54:28It's Oliver.
01:54:32Oliver.
01:54:38It's a very strange thing, Mrs. Adams,
01:54:41that we have a little boy who is just two years old.
01:54:52Well, it's the oddest thing.
01:54:55He's the exact image of the youngster you asked for when you first wrote to me.
01:54:59You remember?
01:55:02I have that old letter here in front of me now.
01:55:07Curly hair, blue eyes, dimples.
01:55:13And this is strictly off the record.
01:55:16For really, another couple has the right to see him first.
01:55:21But he's such a remarkable baby that I thought perhaps you and Mr. Adams
01:55:26might take a look.
01:55:31Yes.
01:55:35Oh, Miss Oliver.
01:55:37Please don't let that other couple see him until we do, will you?
01:55:41I won't, my dear.
01:55:44Goodbye.
01:55:57Goodbye.
01:56:09Well, if he's only two years old, I'd better put up the kid again, hadn't I?
01:56:12Yes.
01:56:13I wouldn't want the little fellow falling down the stairs and breaking his arm.
01:56:17Oh, I guess we'd better get out of the crib.
01:56:22Then if he's two years old, he can sleep in this bed, can't he?
01:56:24Oh, sure, sure.
01:56:27We won't have to put the chairs there, will we?
01:56:31Over in that corner, I could put a little electric tree.
