00:01:18 #1 I'm leaving.

00:01:23 #2 We'll go down to the station and get me a ticket on the 11 o'clock.

00:01:26 #3 And cash that check for me. Smiths will do it for you.

00:01:30 #4 And I'd like you to drive me to the train.

00:01:32 #5 Julie, you'd better think this over.

00:01:33 #6 I have been thinking that over, Applejack.

00:01:36 #7 I've been thinking about it for days.

00:01:37 #8 You and Roger have been married a long time.

00:01:41 #9 But we don't need each other anymore.

00:01:43 #10 Well, that happens to two people.

00:01:45 #11 There's nothing left.

00:01:47 #12 They're right here.

00:04:12 #13 Number seven.

00:04:25 #14 Keep it down.

00:04:32 #15 Needles?

00:04:36 #16 No, no.

00:04:38 #17 Who plays the sheet music here?

00:04:40 #18 I do.

00:04:41 #19 Oh, you do that?

00:04:42 #20 Mm-hmm.

00:04:44 #21 What would you mind playing there for me, then?

00:04:46 #22 Certainly. I'll be glad to.

00:05:05 #23 You're chill, isn't it?

00:05:11 #24 I beg your pardon?

00:05:12 #25 It's a new chill.

00:05:17 #26 I didn't hear you. Yes, it just came in.

00:05:23 #27 It will be nice to dance to.

00:05:26 #28 It is.

00:05:28 #29 What's on the other side?

00:05:30 #30 It's another new one.

00:05:33 #31 Do you mind playing it for me?

00:05:53 #32 Those must have sent you, and they meant you just for...

00:06:17 #33 Good night.

00:06:18 #34 Good night. Fireflower, mister.

00:06:32 #35 I'm going this way, honest.

00:06:34 #36 I'm going this way too, honest.

00:06:36 #37 What's the matter?

00:06:53 #38 Nothing. I live here, that's all.

00:06:55 #39 Oh.

00:06:57 #40 Well, night.

00:06:59 #41 Good night.

00:07:01 #42 Oh, uh, would you mind if I ask you a personal question?

00:07:09 #43 I guess not.

00:07:13 #44 Have you got a Victrola inside?

00:07:15 #45 Oh, yes, of course.

00:07:17 #46 Would you let me hear this one?

00:07:19 #47 Otherwise, I'll have to take it home and imagine how it sounds.

00:07:22 #48 Don't you have a machine at home?

00:07:24 #49 No.

00:07:25 #50 Well, why on earth did you buy a 27?

00:07:30 #51 27.

00:07:31 #52 Ha.

00:07:39 #53 It seems your face is near to me.

00:07:57 #54 And it's near to me.

00:08:01 #55 No, it's just a man.

00:08:05 #56 That's our song they're playing.

00:09:07 #57 At least that's what you said when we were dancing.

00:09:09 #58 What are you thinking about?

00:09:13 #59 Just wishing.

00:09:16 #60 Wishing I could be with you every day like this.

00:09:19 #61 I mean, I wish every day could be a holiday like this.

00:09:23 #62 Maybe they'd have to go back home.

00:09:25 #63 They'd have to go back to work.

00:09:27 #64 Perfect, wouldn't they?

00:09:29 #65 What's it say?

00:09:44 #66 Nothing. It's silly.

00:09:46 #67 Oh, no, really, it's silly.

00:09:48 #68 All those things are all in bugs.

00:09:53 #69 They never come true.

00:10:10 #70 Go ahead and beat it.

00:10:11 #71 You don't like kids very much, do you?

00:10:16 #72 Oh, I like them all, all right, except when they're pissed.

00:10:18 #73 What does it say?

00:10:25 #74 Mm-hmm.

00:10:26 #75 Come on.

00:10:27 #76 Oh, nothing, no.

00:10:28 #77 Come on, tell me.

00:10:29 #78 Come on.

00:10:43 #79 Unromantic.

00:10:46 #80 Boo!

00:10:49 #81 I thought you said we'd went out of place to ourselves.

00:10:51 #82 Oh, well, just the ocean, the beach I couldn't get.

00:10:55 #83 Say, are they all right?

00:10:56 #84 Two or three more lessons, you'll be able to swim.

00:10:58 #85 You can almost float now.

00:11:00 #86 When your arms are holding me out.

00:11:02 #87 Well, when you're with me, you're safe.

00:11:14 #88 I don't know whether it's safe or not.

00:11:17 #89 I'm down if I do either.

00:11:23 #90 Must be getting late.

00:11:25 #91 Let's get to it.

00:11:26 #92 I'm down. There's plenty of time.

00:11:28 #93 I'm thinking about that lost train home.

00:11:31 #94 Come on, Roger. Get dressed.

00:11:34 #95 All right.

00:11:35 #96 Where's that big-shed reporter he is? Put the paper to bed?

00:12:00 #97 Oh, there's no sentiment in newspaper business.

00:12:02 #98 New Year's Eve just like any other night.

00:12:14 #99 Joe Carter here yet?

00:12:15 #100 Yes.

00:12:17 #101 Joe.

00:12:18 #102 Hi, Joe.

00:12:22 #103 Oh, Elmer.

00:12:24 #104 Just off the boat.

00:12:26 #105 Julie.

00:12:27 #106 Is he phoned yet as well phone besides none of your business. Well, you don't have to bite my head off

00:12:33 #107 Oh, I'm sorry

00:12:35 #108 Sorry

00:12:36 #109 You think the big lummox had phone or something. What do you say he might have to go out on the story?

00:12:44 #110 Julie

00:12:45 #111 Has he ever said anything? You know what I mean about

00:12:49 #112 Said anything no not right out

00:12:54 #113 That's what I thought. Men never say anything right.

00:12:57 #114 You gotta drag it out of them.

00:12:59 #115 The things a man will do to keep him getting engaged.

00:13:02 #116 Let me take your things.

00:13:11 #117 Put them someplace and grab them fast. I don't belong here.

00:13:18 #118 Of course you belong here. Didn't I invite you?

00:13:21 #119 Come on in and meet some of my friends.

00:13:23 #120 Oh, gosh, no. Is there a drink in the house?

00:13:26 #121 Right off the boat. That's what the bootlegger said.

00:13:28 #122 You say what boat?

00:13:30 #123 What boat? What would you like?

00:13:32 #124 Come on, help yourself.

00:13:36 #125 You?

00:13:37 #126 Never use it.

00:13:38 #127 You know, this party might turn out all right at then.

00:13:54 #128 Where's Roger?

00:13:56 #129 I thought maybe you'd know.

00:13:58 #130 Pretty crazy about that reporter, aren't you?

00:14:03 #131 I'm sort of fond of him.

00:14:06 #132 That's bad.

00:14:08 #133 I hate to see a nice girl like you get mixed up with a newspaper man.

00:14:12 #134 Gosh, she never know what they're up to.

00:14:14 #135 They can get away with anything and alibi they're working.

00:14:17 #136 Of course, a lot of fun ducking around interviewing chorus girls and all that sort of thing.

00:14:26 #137 You're singing it swell.

00:14:28 #138 You're married.

00:14:29 #139 Applejack, listen, don't worry about me. I don't need any advice.

00:14:34 #140 I've never even thought about getting married.

00:14:37 #141 No foolin'?

00:14:40 #142 Well, I've been worried sick.

00:14:42 #143 About what?

00:14:43 #144 Well, I've been telling him for six months.

00:14:45 #145 If he didn't keep away from you, he'd find himself married.

00:14:47 #146 Oh.

00:14:48 #147 Oh, well, Jack, you...

00:14:59 #148 Julie, I've got to talk to you right away.

00:15:13 #149 Oh, hello.

00:15:14 #150 What did you get here?

00:15:15 #151 I want to talk to you.

00:15:16 #152 This is important, dear.

00:15:23 #153 Where can we be alone?

00:15:24 #154 Why alone?

00:15:25 #155 I'm having fun.

00:15:26 #156 You've been pushing me around all evening.

00:15:29 #157 Never put up with me.

00:15:38 #158 Where you been, pal?

00:15:45 #159 Don't be angry, Julie.

00:15:51 #160 I'd have been here sooner than you.

00:15:52 #161 A lot's happened.

00:15:53 #162 It's a fine time to come to a party just before midnight.

00:15:55 #163 I know it doesn't mean I'm sorry but I've had a million things to do.

00:16:00 #164 Now wait a minute darling, I want to get this straight. I want to tell you everything.

00:16:04 #165 Julie, I've had a real break. Flynn quit his job over in Tokyo.

00:16:08 #166 He's our Japanese correspondent. He got fed up with the assignment or the weather or something.

00:16:12 #167 Imagine the spot that left the paper in. Only one man in the Orient and he walked out on a job.

00:16:17 #168 Oh darling, you're cold here. Here, put this around you.

00:16:19 #169 Just excited.

00:16:21 #170 Here we are.

00:16:24 #171 You're going to take his place.

00:16:27 #172 Well, that's what they want me to do.

00:16:29 #173 I've got a ticket here for a train that leaves at 3 AM.

00:16:31 #174 Gets me to San Francisco just in time

00:16:33 #175 to catch the next boat for Yokohama.

00:16:36 #176 I can't believe you yet, Julie.

00:16:38 #177 It makes them piggy me.

00:16:40 #178 Well, you're able, Roger.

00:16:42 #179 You have ability.

00:16:43 #180 Anybody can see that.

00:16:46 #181 You're going, huh?

00:16:49 #182 Well, that's what I want to talk to you about, honey.

00:16:51 #183 It's a good salary, two-year contract,

00:16:54 #184 and I'm more or less my own boss.

00:16:55 #185 It's kind of opportunity I've always wanted.

00:16:58 #186 Select here. I was wondering.

00:17:01 #187 Listen, little boy, of course I want you to go.

00:17:04 #188 That's what's worrying you. Please don't think.

00:17:07 #189 No, I wasn't worrying about that.

00:17:10 #190 I knew you'd want me to take the job, sure.

00:17:13 #191 But, Julie, let's get married.

00:17:18 #192 Let's get married right away tonight.

00:17:21 #193 I'll be at the same for you in three months. I'll have the money then.

00:17:25 #194 Three months?

00:17:27 #195 Why the rush to get married now?

00:17:30 #196 Well, what do you think I'm gonna let a funny little redhead like you run around and lose here?

00:17:34 #197 Suppose the motherfella came along and...

00:17:37 #198 Aunt Julie, I've got to have you.

00:17:39 #199 To death to us.

00:17:55 #200 Sickness and in health, to love and to cherish.

00:18:55 #201 To love and to cherish.

00:18:57 #202 Till death do us part.

00:19:13 #203 Well, goodbye, Abba Jackman.

00:19:15 #204 Bye, boy.

00:19:16 #205 Keep an eye on Julie for me.

00:19:18 #206 Make sure you're well, boy.

00:19:19 #207 So long, darling. Take good care of her.

00:19:22 #208 I will.

00:19:24 #209 Goodbye, honey. Goodbye, darling.

00:19:28 #210 Excuse me a minute, will you?

00:19:31 #211 Wait for me. All right.

00:19:34 #212 Come on, Roger. I can't say goodbye.

00:19:36 #213 There you are, sir.

00:19:38 #214 Thank you.

00:19:43 #215 Not goodbye, darling. Just see you later.

00:19:47 #216 Anything I can do for you, boss?

00:19:49 #217 Constance the train polite.

00:19:50 #218 About three minutes, sir.

00:19:51 #219 Thank you.

00:19:52 #220 How was it, Adams?

00:19:59 #221 It sounds strange, doesn't it?

00:20:01 #222 Not strange.

00:20:02 #223 It sounds great.

00:20:04 #224 It does sound great, doesn't it?

00:20:05 #225 Something about a train.

00:20:17 #226 I don't know whether it's the way it looks,

00:20:19 #227 or the way it smells, or what it is.

00:20:22 #228 It always makes me feel I want to be off somewhere.

00:20:24 #229 I always feel the same way.

00:20:29 #230 Oh, Roger.

00:20:31 #231 I wish this was our honeymoon.

00:20:33 #232 Oh, I do too, darling.

00:20:46 #233 Promise me never to take it off.

00:20:48 #234 I'll never take it off, no matter what happens.

00:21:05 #235 The train's moving.

00:21:06 #236 I'll get you off.

00:21:07 #237 I'd like something and a drink.

00:23:36 #238 Cooks sand or havers sand?

00:23:41 #239 How do you do?

00:23:43 #240 But hello. Who's children?

00:23:57 #241 Sherman's children. They live here.

00:23:59 #242 I thought you didn't like children.

00:24:01 #243 Who me? They're all right.

00:24:04 #244 Come on in.

00:24:05 #245 How do you like the place?

00:24:07 #246 Lovely.

00:24:09 #247 But it so looks joyous. How can we afford it?

00:24:12 #248 Oh, don't be so practical when I'm being hardly romantic.

00:24:15 #249 Nothing's to go for my little wife.

00:24:17 #250 Gonna see this.

00:24:19 #251 How's it like that?

00:24:21 #252 It's beautiful.

00:24:23 #253 Oh, you are sweet.

00:24:25 #254 But I'd have been satisfied with anything just to be here.

00:24:28 #255 I know you were. But only the best for you.

00:24:30 #256 Come on, we have it upstairs. We have a sea hen too.

00:24:33 #257 What's a sea hen too?

00:24:35 #258 A sea hen too is the Japanese word for bedroom, believe it or not.

00:24:37 #259 That's right. You wrote me a small Japanese.

00:24:39 #260 Well, Roger, it's perfect.

00:24:41 #261 Simply perfect.

00:24:45 #262 I thought you'd like it.

00:24:47 #263 Well, Roger, are we going to keep it?

00:24:53 #264 I mean, stay here right along?

00:24:54 #265 Well, certainly it's yours.

00:24:56 #266 I bought the lease from an American that went back.

00:24:58 #267 I got the lease to furniture, two servants,

00:25:00 #268 three kids, a cat, and her kids, all for 2,000 yen.

00:25:04 #269 2,000 yen?

00:25:06 #270 How much is that?

00:25:08 #271 Oh, about a thousand dollars.

00:25:10 #272 A thousand dollars?

00:25:12 #273 That's right.

00:25:14 #274 How in the world do you do it?

00:25:16 #275 You get the money to send for me and buy all this, too.

00:25:19 #276 I got an advance.

00:25:21 #277 An advance?

00:25:22 #278 Sure. An advance on my salary.

00:25:24 #279 Everybody does out here.

00:25:26 #280 Only the other day, a fellow down at the office was saying,

00:25:29 #281 he wished April was here.

00:25:30 #282 And I said, why?

00:25:32 #283 And he said, well, sir, I'll get an advance on my December salary.

00:25:36 #284 Oh, darling.

00:25:43 #285 You're not going to be one of those wives always worried about money, are you?

00:25:46 #286 Oh, no. No, only.

00:25:48 #287 Besides, you forget we still got the inheritance.

00:25:51 #288 Yes, I know, but...

00:25:52 #289 well, I sort of hate to start off in debt.

00:25:56 #290 Especially in...

00:25:57 #291 You've got a lot to learn about the Orient.

00:26:01 #292 Roger.

00:26:05 #293 Remember this?

00:26:08 #294 Oh, sure, it's one of those fortune things you got at the beach.

00:26:11 #295 How fancy are you keeping that?

00:26:14 #296 They're not always the bunk. You said that.

00:26:16 #297 Did I say that?

00:26:18 #298 Well, well...

00:26:19 #299 Sometimes it's like wishes they come true.

00:26:22 #300 Why, surely they do.

00:26:23 #301 Certainly.

00:26:44 #302 Why don't you tell me? Why don't you write me?

00:26:46 #303 You don't like them?

00:26:48 #304 I don't like them.

00:26:50 #305 Well, of course I do.

00:26:52 #306 Why would I have three of them running around the...

00:26:56 #307 And this would be our own.

00:26:58 #308 An American kid.

00:27:00 #309 Our own. Gee, that's great.

00:27:03 #310 Oh, I'm so relieved.

00:27:09 #311 Well, your funny little redhead.

00:27:13 #312 Oh, you wonder...

00:27:21 #313 Very expensive.

00:27:24 #314 Husband must be rich man.

00:27:27 #315 He's either rich or...

00:27:29 #316 Hi!

00:27:33 #317 What are you doing home this time of the day?

00:27:54 #318 What makes you so beautiful?

00:27:55 #319 Roger, how'd you get off so early?

00:27:56 #320 Come on, let me see you.

00:27:59 #321 Well, if having babies makes you look like this, we better keep on having them.

00:28:03 #322 How do you like it?

00:28:04 #323 Oh, Roger, I adore it.

00:28:06 #324 Why all this today? This isn't my birthday.

00:28:08 #325 Oh, it's a souvenir. It's a souvenir of your stay in Japan because, darling, we're leaving.

00:28:12 #326 Leaving Japan?

00:28:13 #327 Mm-hmm.

00:28:14 #328 Now, brace yourself for good news, Mrs. Adams,

00:28:16 #329 Because good news is what I bring.

00:28:18 #330 We now belong to that class of society known as the filthy rich.

00:28:22 #331 Roger, the inheritance.

00:28:24 #332 Yes.

00:28:25 #333 You got it.

00:28:26 #334 Yes, ma'am.

00:28:27 #335 Ah!

00:28:28 #336 You see, it didn't believe me about it, did you?

00:28:32 #337 No. No, I didn't believe you.

00:28:34 #338 You think great?

00:28:35 #339 Thank you for the dolly.

00:28:39 #340 Thank you for the ball.

00:28:40 #341 Oh, that's all right.

00:28:42 #342 I'm teaching him to be a first baseman.

00:28:45 #343 Now, paragraph two.

00:28:51 #344 Mr. and Mrs. Roger Adams, socially prominent young couple,

00:28:54 #345 plan to take a trip around the world.

00:28:56 #346 The paper's sending you.

00:28:57 #347 No, I've quit the paper.

00:28:59 #348 We're gonna have a last fling before we settle down

00:29:01 #349 and become good old American parents.

00:29:03 #350 But, Roger, you just didn't give up your job on the paper

00:29:05 #351 for no reason at all.

00:29:06 #352 Oh, darling, this trip's an inspiration.

00:29:08 #353 Do you remember the honeymoon I promised you?

00:29:10 #354 Well, we're gonna have it.

00:29:11 #355 Yes, but things are different now.

00:29:13 #356 We've got to think about the baby.

00:29:15 #357 Well, it's just that since the baby comes,

00:29:16 #358 we won't be able to go anywhere.

00:29:18 #359 Besides, I want our baby born in the USA.

00:29:20 #360 Then we can get the work started with a little paper.

00:29:23 #361 What about a trip like this cost a fortune?

00:29:26 #362 Did you get more than the 20,000?

00:29:28 #363 No, as a matter of fact, we didn't get the 20,000.

00:29:32 #364 We sold the property for cash and got 13,500.

00:29:35 #365 Well, can you take a trip and buy a paper and all that on 13,500?

00:29:39 #366 Oh, don't forget the still-loyers fees and deductions, stuff like that.

00:29:42 #367 But just how much did you get, Roger?

00:29:45 #368 I'm trying to tell you.

00:29:47 #369 After the deductions, we got 10,000.

00:29:49 #370 Ten thousand.

00:29:51 #371 I still got a couple thousand bills around here to pay.

00:29:54 #372 Then you really only got eight thousand dollars.

00:29:59 #373 Yes.

00:30:00 #374 But did you ever have that much money in your life?

00:30:05 #375 No.

00:30:06 #376 What are you squawking about?

00:30:08 #377 I'm not squawking.

00:30:10 #378 I just think you're acting like a child.

00:30:14 #379 We should be thinking about the future.

00:30:16 #380 You rush in and pack up your things

00:30:18 #381 and give up a perfectly good job.

00:30:21 #382 No grown-up man should act like that.

00:30:24 #383 I thought the trip would be a lot of fun for you.

00:30:26 #384 If I'd known you were going to feel like that, I wouldn't have planned on it.

00:30:30 #385 That's all right. Let's forget it. We won't go.

00:30:32 #386 I'll go and arrange for the packing.

00:30:38 #387 No, no. Forget about it.

00:31:01 #388 As you'll enjoy perfect health,

00:32:28 #389 we are playing tennis in a couple of months.

00:32:31 #390 Now I've got some good news for you.

00:32:34 #391 I'm letting your husband see you today.

00:32:36 #392 How's that?

00:32:37 #393 Pretty.

00:32:38 #394 Make you feel better?

00:32:40 #395 I've had my hands full, keeping that boy out of here for the last couple of days.

00:32:44 #396 Yeah, but...

00:33:06 #397 You have been miserable not to be able to see it, honey.

00:33:44 #398 Well, I've had a chance to do some serious thinking, dear.

00:33:51 #399 I've been scouting around the nearby towns trying to look for that little newspaper, you know.

00:33:57 #400 No more silly ideas like traveling around, darling.

00:34:05 #401 You were absolutely right about that.

00:34:07 #402 I think I found it, honey.

00:34:19 #403 Little town just north of here, a place called Rosalia.

00:34:21 #404 Did you ever hear of it?

00:34:23 #405 Well, it's pretty nearly the kind of place we wanted.

00:34:36 #406 There's a fellow woman in the new space that's been kind of letting you go to see, but we can make something of it.

00:34:43 #407 And best of all, darling, we'll have a home of our own.

00:34:50 #408 Something we can always call ours.

00:34:53 #409 And if I can make it go to the paper, I'll be able to get you anything you want.

00:34:57 #410 I'll be able to get you furniture, a car, clothes, everything.

00:35:02 #411 It's strange, Roger. But I can't get myself to care about those things now.

00:35:11 #412 Well, they don't seem important anymore.

00:35:19 #413 The one thing I've really wanted.

00:35:24 #414 I'm never going to have to get a job with a live wire

00:37:46 #415 outfit like this.

00:37:47 #416 You would? All right, Skitty.

00:37:49 #417 You've got one in a permanent job, too.

00:37:51 #418 Oh, boy.

00:37:52 #419 Admiral Jack.

00:38:17 #420 Howdy, big shot.

00:38:19 #421 How's the old married man?

00:38:21 #422 Well, you have me worried.

00:38:22 #423 I thought you were going to let me down.

00:38:23 #424 So this is the fastest growing little loose paper

00:38:25 #425 in the fastest growing little town in the West.

00:38:27 #426 Family!

00:38:28 #427 That's the bulletin for this.

00:38:31 #428 What you got here? It's all new makeup.

00:38:33 #429 What do you think of it?

00:38:38 #430 What do you bring it in, code? Code?

00:38:40 #431 No, the line-to-type machine is stuck.

00:38:42 #432 Why do you think it's sent for you?

00:38:43 #433 Applejack.

00:38:45 #434 Miss Julie.

00:38:47 #435 Am I glad to see you.

00:38:50 #436 Come on up and help me fix the bathtub, you dustin' time. Wait a minute.

00:38:53 #437 Let him fix this first.

00:38:55 #438 All right.

00:38:56 #439 The newspaper always comes first around here.

00:38:59 #440 Now come on.

00:39:04 #441 What have you been feeding it?

00:39:07 #442 The switch on.

00:39:07 #443 Yeah.

00:39:13 #444 Now, where's that van?

00:40:05 #445 Oh, I didn't know you were busy.

00:40:07 #446 I'm not busy.

00:40:09 #447 I've just been thinking about fixing up this old store.

00:40:12 #448 I just wanted to show you a new ad we got

00:40:14 #449 from the telephone company.

00:40:16 #450 Well, that helps, doesn't it?

00:40:17 #451 Sure does.

00:40:19 #452 Now, if we keep on with it, we'll

00:40:20 #453 be able to pay the paper bill next month.

00:40:23 #454 Roger back yet?

00:40:25 #455 No, he's still out running down subscriptions.

00:40:27 #456 Said he might not be home until late.

00:40:30 #457 Oh, well, come on then.

00:40:31 #458 Sit down, Applejack.

00:40:32 #459 We might as well have our dinner.

00:40:46 #460 Miss Julie, we ought to have a kid around this house.

00:40:53 #461 Thought you knew about that, Applejack.

00:40:56 #462 Oh, sure, I know about that.

00:40:58 #463 But I'm talking about adopting one.

00:41:04 #464 Sure, you can get some pretty good ones that way.

00:41:07 #465 You know, I would adopt a kid myself.

00:41:11 #466 I know that's not much of a recommendation,

00:41:13 #467 but I didn't turn out so bad.

00:41:16 #468 Besides, I know a lot of regular kids who wound up in jail.

00:41:22 #469 Miss Julie, I wish you could have seen some of those little sons

00:41:25 #470 of the kinds I used to room with.

00:41:28 #471 There was a cutest little rascals you'd ever want to look at.

00:41:32 #472 I don't think Roger would want a child that way, Applejack.

00:41:36 #473 One that wasn't his own.

00:41:38 #474 Why not?

00:41:39 #475 He's no sucker.

00:41:41 #476 He don't want a gamble. Well, how do you know what it's

00:41:44 #477 going to be like if it's got to be your own?

00:41:46 #478 This way, you just walk in and help yourself

00:41:49 #479 to exactly what you want.

00:41:50 #480 There's no guesswork.

00:41:56 #481 You know, I've thought a lot about that.

00:42:00 #482 I want one.

00:42:05 #483 Roger was so disappointed when I just

00:42:08 #484 haven't had the courage to.

00:42:09 #485 Miss Julie, do you want to know something?

00:42:13 #486 He's all for the idea.

00:42:16 #487 Only a few days ago, we were working together

00:42:19 #488 and I was talking with him.

00:42:22 #489 You were talking to him about this?

00:42:24 #490 Sure.

00:42:25 #491 He's all for it.

00:42:28 #492 Why didn't he say something to me?

00:42:32 #493 He was afraid to say anything to you.

00:42:34 #494 He was afraid you might have some full notions.

00:42:39 #495 Selling notions?

00:42:40 #496 If he only knew how many...

00:42:44 #497 Very idea!

00:42:50 #498 My own husband talking about things like this with a...

00:42:53 #499 The printer.

00:42:55 #500 Press manager, please.

00:42:57 #501 All right, the press manager.

00:42:59 #502 Are you going to be the mother?

00:43:01 #503 No. I just thought I...

00:43:03 #504 I'm...

00:43:04 #505 Hey, where did I get my hands on that fella?

00:43:09 #506 Hello, what's going on? A fight?

00:43:12 #507 Hello, Roger.

00:43:13 #508 Roger, I want you to look at that new ad. Would you come downstairs?

00:43:15 #509 No, look, Roger, wait a minute. Applejack.

00:43:18 #510 Why didn't you tell me?

00:43:20 #511 Huh? Tell you what?

00:43:21 #512 What do you and Applejack have been talking about?

00:43:23 #513 Miss Julie, I told you in confidence.

00:43:27 #514 What were we talking about? What'd you say to her?

00:43:29 #515 You know, about the...

00:43:31 #516 He told me.

00:43:34 #517 Told you what?

00:43:35 #518 Well, you know what we were talking about, Thelad.

00:43:37 #519 What were we talking about?

00:43:39 #520 Roger, if you wanted to adopt a baby,

00:43:42 #521 why didn't you talk to me?

00:43:43 #522 Yes, you should have told her by ranks in the first place,

00:43:45 #523 Roger, not me.

00:43:46 #524 I'm not going to be the mother.

00:43:49 #525 Wait a minute.

00:43:51 #526 Did you tell Julie I wanted to adopt a baby?

00:43:53 #527 Well, I hid it at it.

00:43:56 #528 I tried to break it to her gently.

00:43:58 #529 Oh, you told her?

00:43:59 #530 Yeah.

00:44:00 #531 Roger, I'm so glad you feel that way.

00:44:03 #532 Yes, she wants it even more than you, Roger.

00:44:06 #533 Well, if that's the way we all feel about it.

00:44:08 #534 I like it too.

00:44:10 #535 I suppose it's settled.

00:44:11 #536 Oh, Roger, I'm so glad.

00:44:14 #537 If it hadn't been for Applejack letting it slip out,

00:44:16 #538 I don't suppose I would have known.

00:44:18 #539 I guess I'd better go fix that press.

00:44:20 #540 Yeah, you fix everything else, don't you?

00:44:23 #541 Didn't do some bad with the bath, huh?

00:44:27 #542 Well, Julie, what do I think about it?

00:44:29 #543 Look, now...

00:44:31 #544 When you get to this place, don't get enthusiastic right off the bat.

00:44:35 #545 You know, don't just rush in and grab the first kid you see and go nuts about it.

00:44:40 #546 What makes you think I'll grab the first one they show me?

00:44:44 #547 I've been doing the shopping and the spamry for some time now.

00:44:47 #548 I just don't bring home anything.

00:44:50 #549 You came home with this tie, didn't you?

00:44:52 #550 Oh, it's nice. Everybody's wearing both ties.

00:44:57 #551 I have your letter here.

00:45:00 #552 Two-year-old child, blue eyes, curly hair, dimpled chin, sweet disposition.

00:45:05 #553 We prefer a boy.

00:45:07 #554 But we'd like to look at the girls too.

00:45:09 #555 Well, now, Julie, you know we agreed on a boy.

00:45:11 #556 Well, it won't hurt to look, will it?

00:45:13 #557 All right, well, look.

00:45:15 #558 Now, what can you show us?

00:45:17 #559 Well, this is the administration building.

00:45:19 #560 We don't have any children here at all.

00:45:22 #561 Oh.

00:45:24 #562 Everybody wants blue eyes, curly hair, dimples, sweet.

00:45:27 #563 Everybody wants a two-year-old child.

00:45:29 #564 Will you tell me why?

00:45:33 #565 Well, you see, in our case, there

00:45:36 #566 would have been the age of our own child if...

00:45:40 #567 I see.

00:45:43 #568 Anyway, when the two years old, they're more or less house broken then, aren't they?

00:45:48 #569 Well, not always.

00:45:56 #570 At the moment we haven't any children available at all.

00:45:59 #571 There's a long waiting list, there are three applications for every child.

00:46:03 #572 If you get one within a year, you'll be lucky.

00:46:05 #573 What? A year.

00:46:08 #574 You mean to say we might have to wait a year?

00:46:10 #575 Well, after all, real parents wait almost a year.

00:46:13 #576 Yes, certainly.

00:46:15 #577 You see, we've waited so long already.

00:46:18 #578 I know, my dear, but you're both very young.

00:46:21 #579 Then, too, we have to have time to make our investigation.

00:46:25 #580 Investigation?

00:46:26 #581 Yes, you see, we're just as particular about you

00:46:28 #582 as prospective parents, as you are about the child.

00:46:32 #583 Oh, well.

00:46:33 #584 Naturally.

00:46:34 #585 What is your business, Mr. Adams?

00:46:38 #586 I'm a publisher.

00:46:38 #587 I run the Rosalia Courier.

00:46:41 #588 Publisher?

00:46:41 #589 I beg your pardon.

00:46:43 #590 Mrs. Green is on the phone.

00:46:45 #591 What shall I tell her?

00:46:47 #592 Oh, tell her that we're sorry.

00:46:51 #593 But according to our investigators report,

00:46:53 #594 we find that Mr. Green doesn't have a steady income.

00:46:56 #595 Later, perhaps if he finds himself better situated,

00:46:59 #596 we'll reconsider their application.

00:47:02 #597 You see, it's not our aim to place our children in homes of wealth,

00:47:08 #598 but it's absolutely necessary for us to have the assurance

00:47:11 #599 necessary for us to have the assurance that the adoptive parents are financially

00:47:15 #600 responsible. I see in your letter that you live in the country. Good. I presume that

00:47:22 #601 means then that you have a house and yard. No we don't have a yard. We live in an apartment.

00:47:30 #602 But there's a nice park nearby. Oh yeah we got a swell roof too. We've been putting a fence around it.

00:47:37 #603 And I could I could build a slide in a sandbox. As a matter of fact the roof

00:47:41 #604 If he's better than a kicker, he can't get on the street.

00:47:46 #605 It doesn't have to be a yard, does it?

00:47:48 #606 No.

00:47:49 #607 But you have a separate room for the child, haven't you?

00:47:53 #608 Yes, we have a lovely room. It's practically fixed up now.

00:47:57 #609 That's fine.

00:48:00 #610 Now, about income.

00:48:04 #611 Approximately, how much do you make a week?

00:48:09 #612 I couldn't tell the offhand.

00:48:11 #613 I may send about $100 a week, because I'd have to look at the books.

00:48:15 #614 Well, that's excellent.

00:48:16 #615 If you just take that application home with you,

00:48:19 #616 fill it out and mail it into us so we'll have all the details.

00:48:22 #617 And then in due time, one of our investigators will call on you.

00:48:25 #618 We'll find him.

00:48:27 #619 You'll call us before she comes, won't you?

00:48:30 #620 No. We just drop in. That's our policy.

00:48:33 #621 You see, we want to find your house as it really is every day,

00:48:37 #622 and not when it's fixed up for company.

00:48:39 #623 Oh, I see.

00:48:40 #624 Goodbye.

00:48:42 #625 Goodbye, Miss Oliver.

00:48:43 #626 Bye.

00:48:45 #627 Oh, huh.

00:48:47 #628 It doesn't matter if he hasn't got curly hair.

00:48:50 #629 Doesn't really matter.

00:48:58 #630 Hey, hey, they're darn choosy if you ask me.

00:49:00 #631 Why do you have to be a big shot?

00:49:02 #632 When?

00:49:03 #633 You know, we don't make $100 a week.

00:49:05 #634 You want the baby, don't you?

00:49:07 #635 They can't prove it.

00:49:08 #636 We don't keep books. Hey, quit stalling.

00:49:17 #637 Get out of the cleaning.

00:49:18 #638 Look, honey, left from the earthquake.

00:49:19 #639 Want your pen?

00:49:20 #640 We better buy some more.

00:49:32 #641 That man's dead.

00:49:43 #642 Excuse me, lady.

00:49:44 #643 She'd give a fellow warning.

00:49:47 #644 Does Mrs. Adams live here?

00:49:49 #645 Yes, upstairs.

00:49:50 #646 I'll call her.

00:49:51 #647 No, don't bother.

00:49:52 #648 I miss Oliver from the orphanage.

00:49:53 #649 I'll find her.

00:49:55 #650 I don't think she's home just now.

00:49:57 #651 I think she's in church.

00:49:58 #652 In church?

00:49:59 #653 This time of day?

00:50:00 #654 Well, you see, she and Mr. Adams go there quite a lot.

00:50:06 #655 They just go there and sit, find people they had.

00:50:19 #656 Well, I'm sure that she won't mind if I just

00:50:21 #657 look around a bit.

00:50:23 #658 No, no, no, sure, my.

00:51:15 #659 How do you do, Miss Hallam?

00:51:16 #660 How do you do, Miss Adams?

00:51:18 #661 Oh, I'm sorry.

00:51:19 #662 It's all right.

00:51:22 #663 Won't you sit down?

00:51:29 #664 No, thank you.

00:51:34 #665 You've come to see the apartment?

00:51:36 #666 That's right.

00:51:39 #667 This is it.

00:51:41 #668 It's not very neat at the moment.

00:51:43 #669 We're cleaning.

00:51:45 #670 I see.

00:51:49 #671 That's our little breakfast room out there.

00:51:55 #672 And if you'll step right this way.

00:52:04 #673 This is our kitchen.

00:52:05 #674 My husband's been meaning to fix this door for some time.

00:52:21 #675 And that brings us back to the...

00:52:26 #676 see the breakfast room.

00:52:34 #677 Can I fix you a cup of tea?

00:52:36 #678 No thank you.

00:52:38 #679 You spoke of a child's room.

00:52:40 #680 A lovely room.

00:52:42 #681 Yes, yes, that's over here.

00:52:44 #682 Oh, this is sweet.

00:53:04 #683 You really like it?

00:53:06 #684 Any child would be lucky to have a room like this.

00:53:09 #685 Oh, well, I want you to see our yards.

00:53:12 #686 We're fixing that up, too.

00:53:13 #687 Yeah.

00:53:20 #688 Well, hello, Miss Oliver.

00:53:21 #689 Hello, Miss Adams.

00:53:22 #690 Didn't expect you.

00:53:23 #691 I just finished making it.

00:53:25 #692 Thought I'd try it out, see if it was strong enough

00:53:27 #693 for that two-year-old.

00:53:28 #694 I think I have a surprise for you.

00:53:32 #695 A baby came in yesterday.

00:53:34 #696 Miss Oliver, you mean?

00:53:35 #697 Here, come and sit down.

00:53:36 #698 Thank you.

00:53:39 #699 Sit down.

00:53:42 #700 That's the reason that we came around to see you sooner

00:53:44 #701 than we expected.

00:53:46 #702 It's a little girl.

00:53:48 #703 We don't want a girl.

00:53:52 #704 Five weeks and three days old.

00:53:55 #705 Five weeks?

00:53:59 #706 Well, we did speak of an older child, you know.

00:54:02 #707 You might have to wait a long time.

00:54:05 #708 After all, aren't you making too great a point

00:54:07 #709 of the child's age, Mr. Adams?

00:54:10 #710 Eventually, this child will be two years old.

00:54:14 #711 But we don't know anything about such little babies.

00:54:17 #712 Well, no one does until they have them.

00:54:20 #713 And this is such an unusual little baby.

00:54:23 #714 Actually, there's another couple who has first choice.

00:54:26 #715 Now that's strictly off the record.

00:54:28 #716 But somehow I feel she's exactly the child for you.

00:54:32 #717 That's why I wanted you to see her first,

00:54:33 #718 and I couldn't resist giving you the chance.

00:54:36 #719 Did you bring her with you? Oh, no.

00:54:37 #720 She's in the nursery.

00:54:38 #721 You and Mr. Adams will have to come over to the city

00:54:40 #722 to see her.

00:54:43 #723 What's she like, Miss Oliver?

00:54:45 #724 Well, I can't describe her exactly, but she's...

00:54:51 #725 Well, she's like no other child.

00:54:56 #726 Like no other child?

00:54:59 #727 But she isn't a boy.

00:55:04 #728 But look, Roger, there's no harm in looking at her.

00:55:07 #729 If you don't like her, I won't say a word.

00:55:08 #730 Well, what's the use?

00:55:09 #731 We don't want her.

00:55:22 #732 All right, we'll look.

00:55:24 #733 Oh, that's fine.

00:55:25 #734 You call me up, and I'll make an appointment

00:55:27 #735 at the nursery.

00:55:28 #736 I must go now.

00:55:33 #737 If you change your mind, you will call me up, won't you?

00:55:38 #738 Yes, yes.

00:55:42 #739 Please don't show her to that other couple until we've seen her, will you?

00:55:45 #740 I won't, my dear. Like no other child.

00:56:39 #741 That's why I wanted you to see her first.

00:56:42 #742 Like no other child.

00:56:56 #743 Well, how about him?

00:56:57 #744 This is a day nursery. All these youngsters have parents.

00:57:04 #745 All except this lovely little girl.

00:57:07 #746 What a grip. For a girl, I mean.

00:57:24 #747 Would you like to hold it?

00:57:26 #748 What, you kid?

00:58:04 #749 Well, uh, you've had your look, dear.

00:58:13 #750 How about going back home?

00:58:15 #751 Oh, she's yours, I guess.

00:58:26 #752 When do we get her?

00:58:27 #753 Now, if you like.

00:58:28 #754 She's yours on a year's probation.

00:58:31 #755 No?

00:58:33 #756 You mean we can just walk out of here with her like this?

00:58:35 #757 It sometimes happens that way.

00:58:38 #758 If we make sure that the parents and the baby

00:58:41 #759 are just right for each other.

00:58:43 #760 Well...

00:58:45 #761 We have no clothes for her. We don't know how to feed her.

00:58:47 #762 Such a little baby.

00:58:49 #763 Well, Miss Morgan will take care of everything.

00:58:51 #764 She'll give you the formula and so forth,

00:58:53 #765 and then you can go downtown and buy whatever is necessary.

00:58:56 #766 Thank you, Miss Oliver, for being so kind.

00:59:05 #767 Oh, don't thank me. It just happened so.

00:59:08 #768 Perhaps before you make up your mind fully to take the child,

00:59:12 #769 you'd like to have me go into her history.

00:59:14 #770 I can assure you it's an excellent one.

00:59:16 #771 She'll take a chance on us. We'll take a chance on her.

00:59:19 #772 Goodbye. Goodbye.

00:59:21 #773 Goodbye, Miss Oliver.

00:59:22 #774 She wakes up again. You know what that means.

00:59:52 #775 Wait for that baby while I turn on the light. Otherwise you'll drop in.

01:00:01 #776 I mean her.

01:00:02 #777 I don't think I'll go to bed.

01:03:03 #778 She eats again in a half hour.

01:03:06 #779 Direction says so.

01:03:08 #780 You're breathing?

01:04:38 #781 I'm a good little baby.

01:04:50 #782 We were lucky to get her. Let's go to bed.

01:04:58 #783 But do something. Quickly.

01:05:54 #784 Do something. Can't you see the baby's suffering?

01:06:05 #785 What to do?

01:06:07 #786 Don't just stand there. Do something.

01:06:15 #787 They do something you do something. Oh, no, no, I'm gonna get this all over just wanted their daddy

01:09:25 #788 Awesome, so I brought in here with us ever do that to me again. What are you trying to do?

01:10:57 #789 What am I trying to do? I'm trying to get your crummy paper out. That's what I'm trying to do

01:11:01 #790 What's your idea of waking the baby up? What baby my baby?

01:11:06 #791 Your baby. Yeah came last night. No fool in a baby

01:11:10 #792 What are you doing?

01:12:26 #793 Tony, don't want me to help?

01:12:28 #794 No, thanks.

01:14:16 #795 Anything as long as you're sitting around here watching me.

01:14:18 #796 Get out.

01:14:19 #797 Go on, get out of all of you.

01:14:20 #798 What do you think they are?

01:14:21 #799 I could drown him at my swatter.

01:14:36 #800 Here, hold your peanut.

01:14:59 #801 Your Uncle Applejack's going to give you a nice bath.

01:15:06 #802 Give me that wash round.

01:15:07 #803 Huh?

01:15:19 #804 Your Uncle Applejack keeps you to swim.

01:15:21 #805 Oh, Roger, I'll never be able to do that.

01:15:23 #806 We'll have to give it back.

01:15:25 #807 Sure, you will.

01:15:26 #808 I'll tell you what you need, darling.

01:15:27 #809 All you got to do is decide who's boss, who's red.

01:15:31 #810 How did you ever learn to do that, Applejack?

01:15:34 #811 My sister had four kids. She took two and I take two.

01:16:09 #812 Where's the talcum?

01:16:10 #813 Here.

01:16:30 #814 Where'd you go? Where'd you go?

01:16:34 #815 Where is it?

01:16:35 #816 Why?

01:16:37 #817 It.

01:16:38 #818 Oh, there.

01:16:44 #819 Where's your mind of finding it?

01:17:03 #820 You think you can hold this a minute without dropping it?

01:17:05 #821 Oh, sure.

01:17:06 #822 Oh, baby. Oh, baby.

01:17:08 #823 Yes, yes, yes, yes.

01:17:10 #824 Here, give it here.

01:17:13 #825 I forget whether to...

01:17:16 #826 Now, watch this closely.

01:17:18 #827 I'm a one-pin man myself.

01:17:31 #828 Jump right in there, peanut.

01:17:37 #829 Go to your mama.

01:17:45 #830 Oh.

01:17:50 #831 You better write all that down, because I might get a better offer.

01:17:53 #832 Just Molly Anne and Baby Make Street

01:18:24 #833 We're happy in my heart.

01:18:29 #834 She has got your smile, Roger.

01:18:31 #835 Oh, sure. She's good looking.

01:18:32 #836 Oh.

01:18:33 #837 Still sorry she wasn't a boy.

01:18:36 #838 Huh?

01:18:37 #839 A boy.

01:18:38 #840 Believe me, the boy.

01:18:39 #841 Shh. Let me hear that.

01:18:40 #842 You wanted a boy.

01:18:41 #843 I didn't want a boy.

01:18:43 #844 Treat her as daddy's little girl, aren't you, treat her?

01:18:58 #845 Oh, Roger.

01:18:59 #846 Be careful now.

01:19:00 #847 Here.

01:19:01 #848 Oh.

01:19:02 #849 Ah.

01:19:10 #850 Hello.

01:19:17 #851 Hello, Miss Oliver.

01:19:18 #852 How are you, Miss Allen?

01:19:18 #853 Come in.

01:19:20 #854 Thank you so much for letting us know you were coming this time.

01:19:27 #855 Hello, Miss Oliver.

01:19:27 #856 How do you do, Mr. Adams?

01:19:29 #857 Tina, this is your fairy godmother, Miss Oliver.

01:19:32 #858 Do you know her, sweetheart?

01:19:34 #859 Yes, she's not very timid, is she?

01:19:38 #860 I can plainly see that she adores her father.

01:19:42 #861 She means everything to us.

01:19:43 #862 Oh, she meant her cold.

01:19:46 #863 Yes, she do everything.

01:19:48 #864 When are we going to get to owner outright?

01:19:50 #865 You go before the judge, the 27th.

01:19:52 #866 27th, huh?

01:19:53 #867 You'll want to see these charts, I suppose.

01:19:55 #868 Yes.

01:19:56 #869 We should have them happy for you, though.

01:20:03 #870 One, you can send back to us.

01:20:06 #871 And the other, you'll file with the court.

01:20:09 #872 At the court with the final papers.

01:20:11 #873 Uh-huh.

01:20:13 #874 These are the same questions that you answered last year.

01:20:15 #875 We just want to bring them up to date.

01:20:17 #876 Mm-hmm.

01:20:19 #877 Now, let's see.

01:20:20 #878 Ooh.

01:20:21 #879 Religion?

01:20:23 #880 Same.

01:20:25 #881 Happy.

01:20:26 #882 Yeah.

01:20:34 #883 Age?

01:20:37 #884 One year older.

01:20:39 #885 I have that.

01:20:41 #886 Profession?

01:20:43 #887 Still publisher, isn't it?

01:20:46 #888 Yes.

01:20:51 #889 Income?

01:21:00 #890 Well, you see, Miss Oliver, uh...

01:21:02 #891 None.

01:21:03 #892 Oh, that's the way it is in the newspaper game, Miss Oliver.

01:21:33 #893 Especially when you're starting one of your own.

01:21:36 #894 You'll have to close down once before you really get going.

01:21:39 #895 Ah, it's only temporary.

01:21:41 #896 I'm having a jam in my wholesale paper mill.

01:21:43 #897 First thing in all, I'll have it humming by the 27th.

01:21:47 #898 Only close for a while.

01:21:52 #899 I'm sure you'll find a way, Mr. Adams.

01:21:58 #900 But you and I have to prove to the judge

01:22:01 #901 that your income is enough to take care of Trina.

01:22:05 #902 You know we'd give Trina everything she needed, Miss Oliver,

01:22:08 #903 no matter who else had to suffer around here.

01:22:11 #904 I realize that.

01:22:22 #905 Well, I must go now.

01:22:23 #906 That's all we can do today.

01:22:25 #907 Could I drive you to the train?

01:22:28 #908 No, thank you. I really like to walk.

01:22:31 #909 This country airs so fresh. Goodbye.

01:22:35 #910 Adlex, she doesn't want us to have Trina.

01:22:47 #911 Yes, she does, darling.

01:22:49 #912 Oh, yes, she does.

01:22:58 #913 Adam's case.

01:25:24 #914 Oh, yes, Anton.

01:25:26 #915 If either one or both of you gentlemen conduct yourselves like you've been doing today,

01:25:31 #916 I'll hold you in contempt, the both of you.

01:25:33 #917 Well, this is the challenging question.

01:25:47 #918 Let me see.

01:25:48 #919 Looking over these adoption papers here,

01:26:06 #920 I see that you have no income at present.

01:26:09 #921 Is that correct?

01:26:11 #922 Yes, Your Honor.

01:26:13 #923 Now, what is this, Miss Oliver?

01:26:14 #924 You know, this case should never have come before me.

01:26:17 #925 Well, Your Honor, I feel that this is a special case.

01:26:21 #926 I've kept hoping until the last minute

01:26:23 #927 that Mr. Adams might be able to resume

01:26:25 #928 the operation of his paper or get a job.

01:26:29 #929 But, unfortunately, he hasn't been able to do either, so I thought...

01:26:32 #930 Well, under these conditions, I cannot grant the adoption.

01:26:37 #931 This child will have to revert to the orphanage.

01:26:41 #932 Will you draw up the chair, please, while I...

01:26:44 #933 prepare these release papers for you to sign?

01:26:47 #934 It's just a matter of routine.

01:27:12 #935 If you please, Your Honor.

01:27:14 #936 It can't just be a matter of routine for people to have their baby taken away from them.

01:27:18 #937 This child is ours, Judge.

01:27:20 #938 Those are the requirements of the law.

01:27:23 #939 Yes, but you see, we've had her since she was six weeks old.

01:27:28 #940 It just doesn't seem reasonable that we should have to give her back now to strangers.

01:27:32 #941 Mr. Adams, you're not here to plead your case.

01:27:36 #942 You've had the regular opportunity to prove your fitness to provide.

01:27:41 #943 We are fit, Judge, if you just look at the record.

01:27:47 #944 Without any income, I have no alternative.

01:27:50 #945 Didn't you make that clear, Miss Oliver?

01:27:54 #946 Yes, your honor, I did but I thought I'm sorry but that is the law

01:27:59 #947 Look your honor

01:28:17 #948 She's not like an automobile or a nice boxer a piece of furniture some of your bound time and then when you can't keep up the payments

01:28:22 #949 They take it away from you. I

01:28:25 #950 Sit still and be a good girl

01:28:27 #951 Anyone could give up those kind of things

01:28:29 #952 But I ask you judge how can you give up your own child?

01:28:32 #953 And she is our child just much as she's been born to us

01:28:37 #954 No, no daddy's not gonna go away dear look judge

01:28:45 #955 We've had her over a year now.

01:28:48 #956 We've walked the floor with her when she had the colic.

01:28:51 #957 We've lost nights of sleep worrying every time she cut the tooth.

01:28:54 #958 We've gone through everything.

01:28:55 #959 Everything that real parents have with one of their own.

01:28:58 #960 That's Miss Oliver here about the inspections we've had to have.

01:29:01 #961 Her weight charts, her vaccination certificates, her toys, her dresser, the toothbrush.

01:29:06 #962 They come around regularly and check up on all those things to see if we're taking care of her properly.

01:29:11 #963 How many real parents could keep one of their own and go through that?

01:29:15 #964 And you sit there and say it's a matter of routine for you to take her away from us.

01:29:19 #965 Please, Mr. Adams.

01:29:21 #966 I'm sorry, Judge.

01:29:27 #967 Well, you see, we weren't as fortunate as most people.

01:29:39 #968 We'd have had one of our own only.

01:29:42 #969 Well, you don't know how badly my wife wanted a child.

01:29:46 #970 It wasn't so important to me.

01:29:48 #971 I don't know. I suppose most men are like this,

01:29:50 #972 but children never meant a great deal to me.

01:29:52 #973 Oh, I like them all right, I suppose.

01:29:54 #974 Well, what I'm trying to say is, Your Honor,

01:29:58 #975 The first time I saw her, she looked so little and helpless.

01:30:05 #976 I didn't know babies were so, so little.

01:30:10 #977 And then when she took hold of my finger and held on to it,

01:30:12 #978 she just sort of walked into my heart, Judge,

01:30:14 #979 and she was there to stay.

01:30:16 #980 I didn't know I could feel like that.

01:30:18 #981 I'd always been, well, kind of careless and irresponsible.

01:30:25 #982 I wanted to be a big shot.

01:30:28 #983 I couldn't work for anybody. I had to be my own boss.

01:30:30 #984 That's all the thing.

01:30:36 #985 Here I am standing in front of a judge pleading for just a little longer

01:30:39 #986 so that I can prove to you I can support a little child that doesn't weigh quite 20 pounds.

01:30:49 #987 It's not only for my wife and me. I'm asking you to let us keep her judges.

01:30:52 #988 It's for her sake too.

01:30:55 #989 She doesn't know any parents but I... she wouldn't know what had happened to her.

01:30:59 #990 You see, there's so many little things about her that nobody would understand

01:31:02 #991 other way, Julie, than I do.

01:31:05 #992 We love her, Judge.

01:31:07 #993 Please don't take her away from us.

01:31:12 #994 Look, I'm not a big shot now.

01:31:14 #995 I'll do anything. I'll work for anybody.

01:31:17 #996 I'll bake, I'll borrow.

01:31:21 #997 Please, judge, I'll sell anything I've got until I get going again.

01:31:25 #998 She'll never go hungry, she'll never be without clothes.

01:31:27 #999 Not as long as I've got two good hands to help me.

01:32:52 #1000 She's yours, dear.

01:32:56 #1001 Now and forever.

01:33:01 #1002 Oh, Trina.

01:33:03 #1003 Nothing you'd ever take her from us now.

01:33:05 #1004 Hurry up, Daddy.

01:33:06 #1005 Mommy'll be home any minute now.

01:33:39 #1006 Yeah.

01:33:40 #1007 Well, look, do you go and watch for her?

01:33:41 #1008 Let me know when she comes, huh?

01:33:42 #1009 How's it getting along, Apple J?

01:33:43 #1010 Ain't she a beauty?

01:33:48 #1011 Well, now?

01:33:49 #1012 Well, let's get the presents.

01:33:50 #1013 Quick.

01:33:51 #1014 We'll get them there.

01:33:57 #1015 Where's everybody?

01:33:58 #1016 Where's everybody be this time of the day?

01:34:02 #1017 Surprise!

01:34:27 #1018 Happy birthday!

01:34:36 #1019 Happy birthday, Dolly!

01:34:38 #1020 Oh, thank you!

01:34:39 #1021 Come on, sit down.

01:34:40 #1022 Trina's going to make her present.

01:34:41 #1023 I'd almost forgotten today was my birthday.

01:34:42 #1024 Oh, thank you.

01:34:46 #1025 And today was my birthday.

01:34:49 #1026 This is from Daddy.

01:34:51 #1027 Daddy?

01:34:57 #1028 My Roger.

01:34:59 #1029 I always wanted one like that. Oh, thanks.

01:35:06 #1030 You're welcome, darling.

01:35:08 #1031 And this is from Uncle Applejack.

01:35:11 #1032 Uncle Applejack?

01:35:14 #1033 Oh, I can guess what this is.

01:35:21 #1034 It's beautiful, Applejack.

01:35:22 #1035 I always figure a person can't have too many handkerchiefs.

01:35:27 #1036 Thank you.

01:35:31 #1037 This is for me.

01:35:32 #1038 From you.

01:35:33 #1039 Imagine what this is.

01:35:42 #1040 I got you a record, because you love records.

01:35:46 #1041 And because you and Daddy love each other so much.

01:35:50 #1042 Oh, Trina, that's sweet, darling.

01:35:54 #1043 Thank you.

01:35:55 #1044 Come on, let's play it.

01:35:56 #1045 See how it goes. Dinner's ready.

01:36:01 #1046 Come and get it, or I'll throw in the creek.

01:36:04 #1047 Oh, this is wonderful.

01:36:06 #1048 Dinner in my own home, and I didn't have to cook it.

01:36:13 #1049 Well, they always sure changed the complexion of that bird.

01:36:34 #1050 We certainly did.

01:36:37 #1051 What'd you do in school today, Don?

01:36:39 #1052 Oh, I almost forgot.

01:36:40 #1053 I was choose.

01:36:41 #1054 I'm going to be in the Christmas play.

01:36:46 #1055 The Christmas play?

01:36:48 #1056 What are you going to do?

01:36:49 #1057 I'm going to sing in the carols.

01:36:52 #1058 Well, Trina, that's wonderful.

01:36:54 #1059 It'll be fun making you a careless costume.

01:36:57 #1060 I don't need any costume.

01:36:58 #1061 Nobody sees me.

01:37:00 #1062 Nobody sees you?

01:37:02 #1063 Oh, I have to wear a clean dress and some sneakers.

01:37:05 #1064 I'm the echo.

01:37:07 #1065 I'm away off behind the scenes.

01:37:10 #1066 You only hear my voice.

01:37:12 #1067 Miss Hopkins says it gives a far away sound,

01:37:16 #1068 like angels in heaven.

01:37:17 #1069 Oh.

01:37:18 #1070 Well, why do you have to wear the sneakers?

01:37:20 #1071 The sneakers are so I'll be quiet.

01:37:22 #1072 I have to walk up in the sky behind a cloud

01:37:25 #1073 and take a big star with me.

01:37:27 #1074 Then when I get over the manger, I stop.

01:37:30 #1075 And then the angels sing.

01:37:31 #1076 And when my turn comes, I sing the echo.

01:37:34 #1077 Then I sneak off quietly.

01:37:36 #1078 And next to when I'm big, I get to be an angel

01:37:41 #1079 and wear an angel suit.

01:37:43 #1080 I'll get seen then.

01:37:47 #1081 Of course you'll get seen then, darling.

01:37:51 #1082 This is a long time until next year, Daddy.

01:37:54 #1083 Oh, no, darling.

01:37:55 #1084 It'll be here in no time at all.

01:38:10 #1085 I forgot.

01:38:12 #1086 Oh, my.

01:38:13 #1087 What happened to the lights?

01:38:14 #1088 Shh.

01:38:14 #1089 Did you see the lights glow?

01:38:16 #1090 Happy birthday to you.

01:38:24 #1091 Happy birthday, dear mommy.

01:38:27 #1092 Happy birthday to you.

01:38:31 #1093 All right, see you out front.

01:38:41 #1094 Well, everything.

01:42:18 #1095 Now Miss Hopkins won't let me be an angel next year.

01:42:22 #1096 Yes, she will, darling.

01:42:24 #1097 Certainly.

01:42:25 #1098 Yes, I was talking to her.

01:42:27 #1099 She said you did fine.

01:42:29 #1100 Sure. Well, you were better than all the rest of them put together.

01:42:32 #1101 See?

01:42:34 #1102 Honest?

01:42:36 #1103 I don't know what people do without Christmas.

01:42:44 #1104 Oh, I didn't know what we'd do without you, honey.

01:46:25 #1105 Would you please stop that door from banging?

01:46:27 #1106 I wish you wouldn't go out.

01:47:02 #1107 I better get out of here and get some fresh air.

01:47:11 #1108 Isn't that someone downstairs?

01:47:19 #1109 Someone at the front door.

01:47:20 #1110 May I use your phone, please? Our car's stolen.

01:47:41 #1111 I'd like to call a cab.

01:47:42 #1112 I think it's right here on the dance field.

01:47:44 #1113 Just look around that way. Thank you.

01:47:48 #1114 I saw your light burning and we're in such a hurry.

01:48:05 #1115 Cabs are always busy on a night like this.

01:48:12 #1116 I do hope we can get one.

01:48:14 #1117 Tommy's in the Christmas play.

01:48:22 #1118 Don't get late, Mommy.

01:48:29 #1119 Our car's right out in front. I'll drive you over if you like.

01:48:32 #1120 Oh, that's very kind of you, but wouldn't be too much trouble.

01:48:36 #1121 It's not too much trouble.

01:48:38 #1122 Come with me.

01:48:43 #1123 You can't start the car. The battery is dead.

01:48:45 #1124 I can't thank you enough.

01:49:25 #1125 If you only knew what these things mean to a child.

01:49:29 #1126 Let's get out of here.

01:49:33 #1127 Roger.

01:49:46 #1128 What's the matter?

01:50:03 #1129 Take the car on home.

01:50:12 #1130 Roger.

01:50:13 #1131 I'm not coming home.

01:50:20 #1132 I don't ever want to see anything or anyone that reminds me.

01:50:23 #1133 Goodbye.

01:50:48 #1134 They do take you back.

01:52:09 #1135 And which ones you're going to keep and which ones you're going to leave for him?

01:52:16 #1136 Funny, Appadurga.

01:52:19 #1137 I can't seem to divide them.

01:52:22 #1138 They lied to us. They belong to both of us.

01:52:30 #1139 I guess I'll just leave them.

01:52:35 #1140 I was listening downstairs there.

01:52:39 #1141 I remember just as clear the first time I ever saw you.

01:52:42 #1142 Roger brought you into the bulletin.

01:52:45 #1143 I was cussing and pounding that old machine.

01:52:49 #1144 What you didn't know was all going to get to know each other so well, then did you?

01:52:53 #1145 Would you get the rest of the things out of the bedroom for me, please?

01:52:56 #1146 Don't blame me at all. You should leave me.

01:53:40 #1147 Why don't you say it, honey? It's all true.

01:53:42 #1148 I haven't done any one of the big things I plan to do for you.

01:53:48 #1149 But right where we started, I'm still struggling.

01:53:51 #1150 I've let you down all around, have you?

01:53:59 #1151 No, I needed to make it 100% which fear to leave me.

01:54:03 #1152 And I can't think of a reason in a world for you not to.

01:54:05 #1153 I'm licked, Julie.

01:54:11 #1154 You're not licked, Roger. It's just us.

01:54:15 #1155 We're licked as far as our being together is concerned.

01:54:18 #1156 When something really came along that hit us hard enough,

01:54:23 #1157 we couldn't face it together.

01:54:34 #1158 I needed you an awful lot these last few days.

01:54:38 #1159 But you've been miles away.

01:54:41 #1160 I've been entirely alone.

01:54:44 #1161 Right here in this room with you.

01:55:04 #1162 I wish I could do something to help you too.

01:55:09 #1163 Just hasn't worked out.

01:55:17 #1164 God did work out, Kelly.

01:55:21 #1165 Things were wonderful until this happened to us.

01:55:24 #1166 I don't know.

01:55:26 #1167 I just haven't been able to think straight for the last few days.

01:55:30 #1168 She was never sick before then.

01:55:33 #1169 Then all of a sudden it was all over.

01:55:35 #1170 There was only some way that people could know a few days ahead what was going to happen.

01:55:42 #1171 The day before she was taking a sick, she asked me for a quarter and I wouldn't let it happen.

01:55:50 #1172 And she asked me to take it to the movies and I said, no, run along, I'm too busy.

01:55:54 #1173 I know. It was the same with me.

01:55:58 #1174 I was trying on her angel costume and...

01:56:02 #1175 she was so excited she couldn't stand still.

01:56:06 #1176 I scolded her.

01:56:07 #1177 I said, I'll never try another dress on you again.

01:56:14 #1178 I never did.

01:56:26 #1179 Yeah?

01:56:32 #1180 Hello.

01:56:34 #1181 It's Oliver.

01:56:44 #1182 It's a very strange thing, Mrs. Adams.

01:56:47 #1183 But we have a little boy who is just two years old.

01:56:58 #1184 Well, it's the oddest thing.

01:57:01 #1185 He's the exact image of the youngster you asked for

01:57:04 #1186 when you first wrote to me.

01:57:06 #1187 You remember?

01:57:07 #1188 I have that old letter here in front of me now.

01:57:14 #1189 Curly hair, blue eyes, dimple, prickly off the record.

01:57:22 #1190 For really, another couple has the right to see him first.

01:57:27 #1191 But he's such a remarkable baby that I thought perhaps you and Mr. Adams might take a look.

01:57:35 #1192 Oh, Miss Oliver, please don't let that other couple see him until we do will.

01:57:48 #1193 I want my dear. Goodbye.

01:57:53 #1194 I think he's only two years old.

01:58:15 #1195 Better put up the gate again, isn't he?

01:58:17 #1196 Yes.

01:58:18 #1197 I wouldn't want the little fella falling down the stairs

01:58:20 #1198 and breaking his arm.

01:58:21 #1199 I guess we'd better get out the crib.

01:58:26 #1200 He's only two years old. He can sleep in this bed, Countie.

01:58:29 #1201 Oh, sure, sure.

01:58:32 #1202 We'd better have to put the chairs around it.

01:58:36 #1203 Over in that corner, I could...

01:58:38 #1204 I could put a little electric train.
