00:00Hattie, if Richard wants to ride his motorcycle around Brooklyn Heights at 6 o'clock on a
00:06Sunday morning and wake up the whole population, that's his business.
00:09But you tell him he'll have to find another passenger because you can't go.
00:13Papa, it's a brand new secondhand motorcycle and Richard wants to try it out.
00:18Naturally, he wants me with him.
00:20What's so natural about that?
00:21The subject is closed.
00:23Oh, Marlowe, it'll break his heart.
00:25Hattie, I think that you are now reaching the age where you should be thinking about
00:29more ladylike pursuits than riding on the back of a motorcycle.
00:33Okay.
00:34Now, since I'm an old lady, I think I'll take up crocheting.
00:37I'm sure you can find a happy medium, dear.
00:41Your cousin Kathy would never think of riding around with Richard on his motorcycle.
00:44She better not.
00:45Yeah, well, it just wouldn't do you any harm to emulate Kathy a little more.
00:49I guess you're right, Papa.
00:52I am a little far out sometimes.
00:56Good old Kathy, always got her two feet on the ground.
00:59Okay, from now on, I'm going to do everything that she does.
01:02Yeah, well, there's no need to go overboard.
01:03It's just you could pick up a few pointers from her.
01:06Okay.

02:27Yeah.
02:28Except the sun is shining outside.
02:29Yeah.
02:30Except the sun is shining outside.
02:31What happened, Kathy?
02:33got a little wet.
02:35Got a little wet?
02:36No.
02:37Darling, are you all right?
02:38Yes, Aunt Natalie.
02:39I-I'm fine.
02:41Well, how on Earth did you get all wet.
02:43I better get him to some dry clothes.
02:45Excuse me.
02:46Excuse me.
02:48What in the world happened to her?
02:49I don't know, but she sure doesn't wanna talk about it.
02:52Shut tell us when she's ready.
02:53She'll tell us when she's ready.
02:55Maybe she's not ready.
02:57But I am.
03:03Hi, cuz.
03:05No.
03:07No what?
03:08No, I don't want to discuss it.
03:10Cathy, you can't walk into the house soaking wet
03:11and say you don't want to discuss it.
03:13Did you have a water fight with somebody?
03:16No.
03:18You walked in front of an open fire hydrant.
03:21Of course not.
03:22I...
03:23You invented a rain-making machine.
03:25Patty, let's just forget about it.
03:27Okay.
03:28We'll forget about it.
03:29What is it I'm forgetting about?
03:32My allowance check came.
03:34I'll treat you to a movie tonight.
03:44Somebody pushed her in a swimming pool.
03:47Hello?
03:49Cathy Lane?
03:50Just a minute, I'll get her.
03:53Who's calling, please?
03:57A reporter from the New York Metropolitan?
04:03The New York Metropolitan is calling Cathy Lane?
04:09What is it in reference to, please?
04:11In reference to her heroism today.
04:16When she jumped in the lake at the park
04:19and saved a boy who was drowning?
04:23Cathy?
04:27Oh, sure, you can send a reporter.
04:29Hey, and you better send a photographer, too.
04:31I mean, that's the least you can do for a heroine.
04:33I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
04:35I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
04:37I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
04:39I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
04:42Bye.
04:48But Cathy, I think you should be very proud of what you did.
04:52If Patty had done it,
04:53she would have come in with a neon sign.
04:55Cathy, you saved somebody's life.
04:57Do you know what that means?
04:58Yes.
04:59It means there's going to be a big fuss about it
05:01and I don't want there to be.
05:02But Patty, you shouldn't have told that newspaper
05:04to send a photographer and a reporter.
05:07Tell us what happened, Cath.
05:09It wasn't anything, Uncle Martin.
05:11I happened to be walking by the lake in the park
05:13and I heard someone calling for help.
05:15I saw a boy swimming and he seemed to be having a cramp.
05:18There was no one else around,
05:19so I jumped in and pulled him out.
05:21She just jumped in and pulled him out.
05:24I've never heard such modesty.
05:25They usually give medals for things like this, you know.
05:28Your picture will be on the front page.
05:30I just did what anyone else would have done
05:33and I'd really prefer not to have a big thing made about it.
05:35It's too late.
05:37Yeah, now you belong to the ages.
05:40He's right, Cathy.
05:41Heroism has to be rewarded.
05:43Now I'm going to help her.
05:50Here comes the backfield.
05:51Watch out so Tony Axe doesn't get a real crush on me.
05:55Hi, Cathy.
05:57Hello, Tony.
05:57I heard what you did yesterday.
05:59That's the bravest thing I ever heard.
06:01Are you scared?
06:02Well, I didn't have much time to think about it.
06:04You've really got what it takes.
06:06You going to class?
06:07I'll carry your books.
06:09How'd you like to see a movie tonight?
06:12I think I'm free.
06:19Hi, Patty.
06:21What are you staring at?
06:22My cousin, the heroine.
06:25Come on.
06:36Before we begin class, there's another matter
06:38I'd like to take up.
06:39I'm sure that by now you've all heard
06:41about the wonderful act of courage
06:43that was displayed yesterday by one of our classmates.
06:46Cathy, would you stand up, please?
06:58You've brought honor to all of us by what you did, Cathy.
07:01Really, you've done it.
07:02You've brought honor to all of us by what you did, Cathy.
07:05Risking your own life to save the life of a stranger
07:08is the highest act of valor.
07:10Would you care to say a few words to the class about it?
07:13Thank you, Ms. Castle.
07:15There really isn't much to say.
07:17I'm sure that everyone here would have done the same thing
07:19in the same situation.
07:24Boy, what conceit.
07:28No, I'm sorry.
07:29I don't know when she'll be back.
07:31Okay, I'll give her a message.
07:33That was the Bugle calling.
07:35They want to do a feature story on Cathy.
07:38Do you know that that's the 10th call
07:39she's had in the last hour?
07:41And look at this.
07:42Teenager saves lad.
07:43Right on the front page.
07:45Well, the situation of the world is
07:46and you'd think they'd have more important things
07:47to write about than that.
07:48I don't understand you, Patty.
07:50You were the one that told the reporter
07:52and the newspaper man to come over.
07:53You said it was the bravest thing you'd ever heard of.
07:56Now, suddenly you act like she did something terrible.
07:59Richard, if there's anything I can't stand,
08:00it's the show off.
08:02Patty, you're not jealous of Cathy, are you?
08:05Who, me?
08:08Of course not.
08:09It just isn't fair, Richard.
08:10That's all.
08:12What isn't fair?
08:13The only reason Cathy is a heroine
08:15is because she was in the right place at the right time.
08:18Now, I could have been there instead.
08:19If you'd have been there, he'd have drowned.
08:22You can't swim.
08:24Everybody's making such a big fuss over her.
08:26You'd think nobody had ever saved anybody's life before.
08:29She did a very brave thing.
08:31I'm not trying to take that away from her, Richard.
08:34It's just that Cathy is not a natural-born heroine.
08:36And you are.
08:37Well, at least I'd know how to handle the situation.
08:39I think Cathy is handling it fine.
08:41Oh, the whole thing's gone to her head.
08:43Richard, I tried to give her the benefit of my advice
08:45and she wouldn't even listen to me.
08:47That's probably Life magazine
08:50wanting to put her on the cover.
08:52Hello?
08:54No, Cathy isn't home.
08:56Who's calling, please?
08:58Roger who?
09:01Oh, that Roger.
09:02The boy she saved.
09:04A voice from the dead.
09:05Yeah.
09:08No, there really isn't any point in coming over, Roger,
09:10because Cathy's not home.
09:17Just a minute, Roger.
09:19She just came in.
09:21Why don't you come over?
09:23Yeah, she'll be waiting for you.
09:24See you then.
09:28Here comes who?
09:30Cathy.
09:31Roger wants to talk to her.
09:32This is my chance to find out the truth.
09:34The truth about what?
09:35The truth about what really happened.
09:37Well, we know what happened.
09:39Do we?
09:40Richard, doesn't it strike you as a little peculiar
09:43that Cathy doesn't even want to talk about it?
09:45Not at all.
09:46Cathy's just naturally modest.
09:48Or maybe she's just naturally afraid
09:50that we'll find out that she fell into that lake by mistake
09:52or that he wasn't even drowning at all
09:54or that it was only three feet of water.
09:57Richard, I'm about to explode a myth.
10:28Hello, Roger.
10:29Hello, Cathy.
10:31I brought these for you.
10:32Oh, thank you.
10:35Come in, won't you?
10:45Won't you sit down?
10:53Well, we had quite a day yesterday, didn't we?
10:56We had quite a day yesterday, didn't we?
10:57Yes.
10:58I saw the story in the newspaper this morning.
11:01Did you?
11:03Well, it really wasn't very accurate, was it?
11:06Well, it didn't tell the whole truth.
11:08No, it didn't, did it?
11:11But we know the whole truth, don't we?
11:13Yep.
11:16It didn't mention that some parts of the lake
11:19were only a few feet deep.
11:22Why should they?
11:24Why should it?
11:27I'll bet you're a wonderful swimmer.
11:29Well, I was on the varsity swimming team.
11:31I knew it.
11:32But that doesn't help much when you've got a cramp.
11:36Does it?
11:37No, it doesn't, does it?
11:39I...
11:41Roger, when I fell into that lake.
11:45Fell in?
11:46That was one of the most beautiful dives I've ever seen.
11:53Well, it looks like I really saved your life, doesn't it?
11:56I can't tell you how grateful I am, Kathy.
12:00Roger.
12:07Which is which?
12:09I'm Kathy.
12:10And I'm Patty, her cousin.
12:12Nice to meet you, Roger.
12:15We were just having a little chat.
12:17Oh?
12:19About what?
12:21About you a lot.
12:23Patty almost convinced me you didn't save my life.
12:26Did she?
12:27Well, I guess you two have a lot to talk about.
12:29It was very nice to meet you.
12:29Roger, goodbye.
12:33It's amazing.
12:35She's exactly like you.
12:37Yes.
12:40Hello, Mamo.
12:42That's French.
12:43Our son, the linguist.
12:45Hey, that's a clean plate.
12:46Yeah, thanks.
12:47Are we all going down to City Hall
12:48to watch Kathy get a medal?
12:49Well, of course we are.
12:50How often do we have a hero in the family?
12:52Every day.
12:53I should get a medal for living with Patty.
12:55Now, Louis, have Patty and Kathy
12:58been quarreling the past few days?
12:59Mm-mm.
13:00Oh, well, that's good.
13:01They don't talk to one another,
13:02but they haven't been quarreling.
13:05I'm going down to the post office to mail this letter.
13:08Can I get you anything?
13:09No, thank you, Kathy.
13:10We were just talking about your medal.
13:12Oh, I don't suppose there's any way
13:14I could refuse that without seeming ungrateful.
13:16Why would you want to refuse it?
13:19I just would.
13:20Because of Patty.
13:21She seems so upset about it,
13:22I'd really rather let the whole thing drop.
13:25We're not going to do anything of the kind.
13:27I think I'll have a little talk with Patty.
13:29I wish you wouldn't, Uncle Martin.
13:30She hates me enough already.
13:32Patty doesn't hate you.
13:34She's certainly been acting like it.
13:36Patty wants all the attention and you're getting it.
13:38But I don't want it.
13:40Kathy, you are going to go down and pick up that medal.
13:42And if I know Patty, she's going to be pretty proud of you.
13:46Look at that piece of junk.
13:47It's tin.
13:48But when I get a medal, it's going to be solid gold.
13:56I thought you were going to movies with Kathy.
13:58Oh, I changed my mind.
13:59It's too crowded.
14:01The movie's too crowded?
14:02Kathy's too crowded.
14:03You can't get near her.
14:05You'd think she was Joan of Arc the way
14:06everybody swarms all over her.
14:08Makes you feel proud, doesn't it?
14:11Yeah.
14:13There's enough reflected glory for all.
14:16If you like reflected glory.
14:18Personally, I'd like to go out and get my own.
14:21You know something?
14:23It's exactly what I'm going to do.
14:25See you later.
14:26OK.
14:33Switch it to a three-column layout
14:34and get it in there as fast as you can.
14:36I'll have Al standing by.
14:38All right.
14:39Yes?
14:41Oh, good, Joe.
14:42We'll take that up at the editorial meeting
14:44We'll take that up at the editorial
14:46meeting this afternoon.
14:47Fine.
14:49Goodbye.
14:50Hello, Uncle Martin.
14:51Hello, Kath.
14:52I hope I'm not interrupting anything.
14:54No, this is a wonderful surprise.
14:57Can't wish you'd come down here more often.
14:59Well, I really don't find much free time during the day.
15:02But you managed to find it today.
15:04Well, what can I do for you?
15:07I've come to ask a favor, Uncle Martin.
15:09You name it, you've got it.
15:11Natalie told me you were going to write
15:13a teacher's story about me.
15:15That's right.
15:16That's the favor.
15:17I don't understand.
15:18I don't want you to write it.
15:20Now, if Patty sent you down here...
15:22No, no, I haven't discussed it with Patty.
15:25As a matter of fact, she's not even talking to me.
15:27That's why I don't want you to write the article.
15:31Well, I'm sorry, Kath.
15:32There's nothing I can do about it.
15:34In the first place, it wasn't my idea.
15:36It was suggested to me by my boss.
15:38I thought it was a very good suggestion.
15:40I still do.
15:42It's going to appear in the Chronicle on Sunday.
15:45Patty doesn't have to read it.
15:47I'm sorry I troubled you, Uncle Martin.
15:50At least I have learned a lesson.
15:52What lesson is that?
15:54Well, the next time I see someone drowning,
15:57I'll let him.
15:59See you at home.
16:02See you at home.
16:07I've never tried analysis before.
16:09I don't know if it'll work or not.
16:11I guess the idea is to be able to talk out your problem.
16:15I think I've just about figured out what's bothering me.
16:19You see, usually I'm not jealous of Kathy.
16:23Like the time that she got all the highest marks in the whole school.
16:27I was so proud I was ready to bust.
16:29Or the time that she won the music scholarship.
16:32I was so happy to think I'd won it.
16:35So basically, I really don't think I'm jealous of Kathy.
16:39Basically.
16:40I mean, when she sticks to her own territory.
16:43But you see, Doc,
16:45when she became a hero,
16:47well, that's more in my line.
16:49I mean, I'm much more the type.
16:52I guess...
16:53I guess I felt what you psychiatrists would call threatened.
16:58Does that make sense to you?
17:00Makes sense to me.
17:02You know something?
17:04I feel a lot better after getting this all off my chest.
17:07What do you think?
17:09Well, how should I know?
17:10I'm just trying to do this crossword puzzle.
17:22You guys are wasting your time.
17:24Tell them, Kathy.
17:25Why don't we all have a soda together?
17:28Patty,
17:29won't you join us?
17:30Gee, I'd love to, Kath,
17:31but I'm afraid I have another engagement.
17:33You run along.
17:35All right.
17:36All right.
17:37For sure.
17:43Come on, tagger.
17:44Everybody's going over to the shake shop.
17:46You're wrong.
17:47We're not.
17:48But I'm thirsty.
17:49Well, have a drink of water.
17:50What's gotten into you?
17:51Nothing, Rich.
17:52I'm just tired of hanging around with all the kids.
17:54Why don't we take a walk by the park lake?
17:56Again?
17:57We've walked by there every day.
17:59And it's not even on the way home.
18:01All right.
18:02Nobody's forcing you to go with me.
18:03Look,
18:04you've got some crazy idea in your head.
18:06Rich,
18:07I'll go alone.
18:08Why don't you go to the shake shop with Kathy?
18:10Maybe I'll just do that.
18:14Who needs him anyway?
18:16Hello, Patty.
18:17Hello, Miss Moore.
18:21Miss Moore?
18:30Miss Moore?
18:31Yes, Patty.
18:32Could I ask you a question?
18:34Of course.
18:35I know I'm not in your psychology class or anything,
18:37but
18:38I thought
18:39maybe you could help me with a problem that
18:41two friends of mine are having.
18:43I'd be very happy to try.
18:45Uh,
18:46there are two boys,
18:47cousins,
18:48and
18:49one of them is jealous of the other one.
18:52Do they like one another?
18:53Oh, yeah.
18:54They're crazy about each other.
18:55It's just that one boy did something to make the other one jealous.
18:58He doesn't want to be jealous,
19:00but
19:01he can't seem to make himself stop.
19:04It, um,
19:05sounds as though he's rather immature.
19:08No, he isn't.
19:10I mean, uh,
19:11he's really a wonderful boy.
19:13If it weren't for this little problem,
19:14I think he'd really be quite a remarkable young boy.
19:17Are these close friends of yours?
19:19Yeah, I think you could call them that.
19:21Why don't you have them come in and see me?
19:23Uh,
19:24they can't do that.
19:25They, uh, live out of town.
19:26In Africa.
19:27They just moved there recently.
19:28I see.
19:30I was going to write them a letter
19:31and, and include your information.
19:33Well, if this boy is as wonderful as you say he is,
19:36I'm sure he has nothing to be jealous of.
19:38All he needs to do is develop his self-confidence.
19:41Develop my self-confidence.
19:44It's always a mistake, Patty,
19:46to compete with anybody else.
19:48The only person you should ever be in competition with
19:50is yourself.
19:52I don't understand.
19:53If you do the very best that you know how,
19:57you never have to worry about what anyone else is doing.
20:01Write that to your friend.
20:04I will.
20:06Thank you very much, Miss Moore.
20:09And be sure to say hello to Kathy.
20:18Uh, Kat,
20:19I brought something home for you.
20:20Oh?
20:21This is an advance proof of Sunday's Chronicle.
20:25Oh.
20:26It's lovely, Martin.
20:28You didn't say anything about me.
20:30Oh, my.
20:31Aren't you pleased?
20:32Oh, yes.
20:33Very nice.
20:34Thank you, Uncle Martin.
20:35I already sent a copy to your father.
20:36I'm sure he'll be thrilled.
20:37Wait till Patty sees this.
20:38She'll go up in smoke.
20:39Don't worry about Patty.
20:40She'll be fine.
20:42Where is she?
20:43She hasn't come home yet.
20:45Isn't it a little late for her to still be at school?
20:47Well, she's with Richard.
20:48I'm sure she's all right.
20:49She is usually home by this time.
20:52Perhaps Patty stopped at the library.
20:54Patty who?
20:55Well, maybe she did go over to Richard's house.
20:58Why don't I call her?
21:00She probably didn't realize how late it was.
21:04Hi, folks.
21:05Hello, Richard.
21:06Uh, where's Patty?
21:07I thought she was with you.
21:08No.
21:09I haven't seen her since school went out.
21:11But you usually walk her home.
21:12Well, I haven't been walking her home lately, Mrs. Lane.
21:15Why not?
21:16Because I got tired of walking her over to Park Lake every day.
21:20Why would she want to go over to Park Lake every day?
21:22You wouldn't believe me.
21:23Of course I would.
21:24Well, I think she wanted to go over there
21:26because she's hoping to find someone drowning
21:28so she can rescue them.
21:30I don't believe it.
21:31That doesn't sound like Patty.
21:33Does to me.
21:34Richard, don't you have any idea where she is?
21:37No, sir.
21:38She could be anywhere.
21:44What happened?
21:46You're soaking wet.
21:47Darling, did you have an accident?
21:49I want to go home.
21:51You did it.
21:52She saved a kid.
21:53She's a hero.
21:55Congratulations, Patty.
21:56That's wonderful.
21:57Now we can go into the hero business.
21:59I ought to call the newspapers right away.
22:02Imagine having two heroes in the family.
22:04What are you talking about?
22:05I pulled her out of the lake.
22:21I think I know now what made me do it.
22:24She felt threatened.
22:25She what?
22:26It's a psychiatric expression we psychiatrists use.
22:31You see,
22:33all the time I thought I was jealous of Kathy
22:36and I hated myself for it.
22:38That's why I kept going back to the lake.
22:41But you just wanted to get your share of attention.
22:44Well, that's what I thought.
22:45But that wasn't it at all, Papa.
22:48I was just afraid to admit the truth to myself.
22:51What was the truth?
22:52That I was a coward.
22:55You see,
22:57I kept asking myself
22:59what would happen when the moment came
23:00when I'd have to jump in the water.
23:03I didn't know.
23:05I thought,
23:07what if I just stood there and watched somebody drown?
23:10So I had to find out.
23:12Patty.
23:14So I kept hanging around the lake
23:17waiting for somebody to fall in
23:18so I could test myself.
23:19Well,
23:20soon I started hoping somebody would fall in.
23:25What happened this afternoon?
23:27Well, I saw this boy
23:29fooling around on the shore.
23:31And I watched him
23:33and there was a tree that was hanging over the water
23:35where it was pretty deep.
23:37And he climbed the tree
23:38and a limb broke and he fell into the water.
23:40What did you do?
23:41I almost turned and ran home.
23:44But I knew I couldn't do that, so
23:47I jumped in anyway.
23:49I ran after him.
23:51The only thing was he thought I was drowning
23:53so he pulled me out.
23:55I see.
23:56You know the terrible part?
23:59I found out I am a coward.
24:01A coward?
24:03What makes you say that?
24:04Because when I jumped in that lake
24:05I was scared to death.
24:07Patty,
24:08I let you in on a little secret.
24:10So was I.
24:11You were?
24:12Terrified.
24:13Honey,
24:15a hero is a coward
24:16who does something brave.
24:19There's no special merit
24:20in getting involved
24:21in a situation you're not afraid of.
24:24And it doesn't matter
24:25who pulled whom out.
24:27The only thing that matters
24:28is that you were willing
24:29to risk your life
24:30to save the life of that boy.
24:33Well,
24:34I guess we go back to City Hall again.
24:36Isn't it lovely
24:37having two heroes in the family?
24:39Three, remember?
24:40I have to live with her.
24:49Here's Kathy
24:50who's lived
24:51most everywhere
24:53From Zanzibar
24:54to Barclays Square
24:56But Patty's
24:57only seen the sights
24:58a girl can see
24:59from Brooklyn Heights
25:01What a crazy pair
25:03But they're cousins
25:05Identical cousins
25:07And you'll find
25:08that they're
25:09just as great
25:11as you
25:12and I
25:13and I
25:14and I
25:15and I
25:16and I
25:17and I
25:18and I

25:31and I
25:32and I
25:34They laugh alike
25:35They walk alike
25:36At times they even talk alike
25:38You can lose your mind
25:39when cousins
25:40are two of a kind
