00:00Very nice, my dear, a letter for you, for me from home.
00:29Uh, at the Angle.
00:33At the Angle?
00:35No.
00:36Yes, at the Angle.
00:38Oh, David, you know how long I didn't hear from at the Angle?
00:43Let me see.
00:45Dear Molly, you will no doubt be surprised when you hear from me after all these years.
00:55Plenty, I think.
00:57I'm traveling to the West, but before I leave, I would like to see you.
01:08My, my.
01:14Well?
01:15Oh, David, what is today?
01:17Why?
01:18Because of today's day should be here tomorrow, David, darling.
01:21Oh, my, let me get finished already so I can enjoy this moment.
01:26David, at the Angle.
01:29David, darling, you know how many years I didn't see at the Angle?
01:33My, my.
01:34She should all of a sudden fall out of the blue sky and come to see me.
01:38Oh, David, you know how many years?
01:41Huh?
01:42Oh, my, we were living yet, let me get, we were living yet the first apartment before I was married, darling.
01:52Eh?
01:53Oh, my.
01:54Eh?
01:55At the Angle?
01:56Oh, David, darling, she lived on top of, she worked in the same place as Jake way before Jake went into business for himself.
02:06Oh, my, my, at the Angle.
02:10Oh, my.
02:12Listen, dear, next to Mrs. Bloom, she was my best friend.
02:16Let me get finished already with the sewing.
02:18I got plenty of time with the sewing.
02:20Let me get finished.
02:21How is it I never met her?
02:23What do you mean how is it you never met her, David, darling?
02:26After all, she moved away.
02:29I moved away.
02:30She had a family.
02:32I was busy.
02:33She was busy.
02:34What do you mean, David, darling?
02:36Two friends can be lost even if they live in the same city.
02:40Oh, David, will Jake be shocked and surprised when he hears it?
02:46I'm, I'm beside myself, David.
02:49Listen, my dear, to see a friend after so many years, it's wonderful.
02:54David, darling, all her children are married already.
02:58Two boys and two girls.
03:00David, dear, whatever I know about sewing, at the Angle taught me.
03:05After I was just first married, I was a newlywed.
03:08What did I know, darling?
03:10Nothing.
03:11I had plenty, plenty to learn.
03:12She was such a pretty woman, David.
03:14I remember like she's standing right in front of me.
03:17She was black like patent leather.
03:19My, David, it must be all right now.
03:22I wonder what she'll think when she looks at me.
03:26Put the machine in Jake's closet here, darling, please.
03:31It's very heavy.
03:35Molly.
03:36Jake.
03:37Have I got something to tell...
03:39What?
03:40You remember Ed Angle?
03:42She wrote to you, too?
03:44He wrote me.
03:45Benjamin.
03:46Ed, his husband wrote you.
03:47Oh, she wrote to me, too, Jake, darling.
03:50She's coming.
03:51Well, that's funny.
03:52He says he's coming alone.
03:55Vanessa says he's coming alone.
03:57How's that?
03:58So what's the difference?
03:59I'll be glad to see both of them.
04:01Wonderful man.
04:02A wonderful man.
04:03A millinery.
04:04Wonderful.
04:05Jake, don't throw yourself on the couch.
04:07Throw yourself in the closet, please.
04:10Oh, Jake, darling.
04:12I am so beside myself.
04:16Jake, dear.
04:17Jake, her youngest daughter,
04:19her youngest daughter married a man with a hospital.
04:22Doctor?
04:23A dollhouse.
04:26And her oldest daughter, Jake, darling,
04:28married a corsetorium.
04:31And her two boys have novelty.
04:34Laces and ribbons.
04:37Oh, my.
04:38And now she says she would like to go back to work.
04:41You remember what a wonderful worker she was.
04:43She was a poor lady, over 42 apparatus.
04:47Maybe you could find something in your place for her, Jake, dear.
04:50Why should a woman of her age want to go back to work?
04:53Listen, all her children are married.
04:55Nothing to do with herself, maybe.
04:57But Benjamin Engle is not a poor man.
04:59Life is like a wheel, Jake.
05:02One day you're up, one day you're down.
05:05David, darling.
05:06Whatever fate had in store for Benji and Etta,
05:11I'm sure they shared it alike.
05:13That I'm sure.
05:14A very happy couple.
05:24Jake, darling.
05:25It's times like these that you're glad you have a guest through.
05:29I only hope that Etta and Benji stay for a few days.
05:32Maybe she didn't say anything about Benjamin
05:34because she wanted to surprise you.
05:36Maybe.
05:37And maybe vice versa.
05:38He didn't say because he wanted to surprise us.
05:42However and whatever it is,
05:44I'm glad they're coming.
05:45I couldn't be happier.
05:46Who are you calling?
05:47My president.
05:49Oh, I'm so happy.
05:51I'm surprised myself.
05:54Hello?
05:55Hello, this is me, I.
05:57Do you recognize the voice?
05:59That's right.
06:01Listen, darling.
06:02Listen, darling.
06:03Something unbetold and besides happened here.
06:06I received a letter from an old friend
06:08that I haven't seen in 20 years.
06:10So, darling, maybe I'll have to bow
06:12and not be able to come to your garden party.
06:16Yeah.
06:18Well, it.
06:21I mean, would it be all right if she comes with me?
06:25Oh, she would love it to see she's a city dweller.
06:29I would love her to see your hydrangeas.
06:33Uh-huh.
06:34Well, would it be all right if her husband accompanies her?
06:38You see, he's in the millinery business
06:40and the only flowers he ever sees
06:42are the flowers that are on hats.
06:46Yes, darling.
06:47Oh, and look, dear, before I forget,
06:49by the by, could you let me have some of your bows?
06:55Yeah.
06:56Wonderful.
06:57Thank you, darling.
06:58My bell is ringing.
06:59I have to get to a deal.
07:00All right, dear.
07:01Call me or I'll call you.
07:02Bye.
07:03Jake, darling, could you believe it?
07:05I'm palpitating.
07:06Don't palpitate and open the door.
07:10Molly.
07:12Molly, darling.
07:14Oh, yes.
07:16Let me look at you.
07:17So long.
07:19I don't believe it.
07:20You don't know what this means to her, Sarah.
07:22Oh, it's so good to see you.
07:24Esther, darling, do you know my Uncle David?
07:27You don't remember Uncle David?
07:29I used to visit Molly every Sunday.
07:31Well, on Sundays, I used to have to visit my mother-in-law,
07:35so I suppose that's why we never met.
07:37David Romaine.
07:38Hello.
07:39Come and sit down, Esther.
07:41Oh, Esther, let me look at you.
07:43Oh, Esther.
07:47Oh, Esther, darling, if you saw me in the street,
07:49would you recognize me?
07:51No.
07:52No?
07:53No.
07:55Etta, how is it you didn't come together?
07:58Who?
07:59You and Benjamin.
08:00Why?
08:01Is Benny coming?
08:03Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned it.
08:05It's all right.
08:06I'll leave when he comes.
08:08What is it?
08:09Something wrong?
08:10First, I have to know that I can support myself.
08:13Jake, if you think you have a place for me in your shop...
08:19Well, I...
08:20Jake, maybe you'll go in the kitchen and fix a cup of coffee
08:25so we can have a little sneak snack
08:27so Etta and I can talk over old times.
08:32David.
08:33Come, David.
08:34David.
08:35Excuse me.
08:40Etta, what is it?
08:42It's the end.
08:43The end of what?
08:44What happened?
08:4525 years is enough.
08:47Don't you think so?
08:49Talk clearly.
08:50I don't understand you.
08:52I suffered in silence since my first child was born.
08:55But now that they're grown and married,
08:57my life is my own and I can walk out of my prison.
09:00Prison?
09:01What prison?
09:02My marriage.
09:03Your marriage?
09:04I always thought you had the most wonderful marriage.
09:07Why?
09:08Because I...
09:09Because I suffered silently?
09:11Because I kept everything in my heart for the sake of my children?
09:15But Benjamin always seemed to me to be...
09:17Seemed?
09:18Oh, I'm so glad you used that word, seemed.
09:20But tell me, what did he do?
09:22What is...
09:23Oh.
09:25It's nothing you can talk about.
09:27Only...
09:28Only things you can feel.
09:33In the 25 years I was married to him,
09:36did the man ever remember a birthday?
09:39Did...
09:40Did the man ever come home with tickets to a show?
09:42Did he...
09:43Did he ever say,
09:44let's go away on a vacation together?
09:47No.
09:48All I knew was he gave me his weekly pay
09:52and took out what he needed for himself,
09:54but the rest of the responsibility was mine.
09:58Did he...
09:59Did he ever know when a child needed a pair of shoes?
10:02Or that I had a coat on my back?
10:04Nothing interested him.
10:06Nothing.
10:08His supper on the table when he came home and...
10:10And that's all.
10:12That's all.
10:13That's amazing because he wasn't such a...
10:16I mean, such a strong man.
10:18Little weak, that you know.
10:21Came home from work tired.
10:25And I was strong and not tired?
10:29No, Molly.
10:31In all the years we were married,
10:3310 o'clock he was in bed regardless of who was in the house.
10:37Company or no company.
10:40Why, the man lived in the house like a boarder.
10:43All right.
10:44But he wasn't a stranger?
10:46You could tell him?
10:47You could talk to him?
10:48And make fights and upset the children?
10:55Look, if that's Benjamin, I don't want to see him.
10:58My mind is made up.
10:59All right.
11:00All right, go up to my room.
11:02Here's your pocketbook.
11:04Go upstairs.
11:07Jake?
11:11Jake.
11:12You open the door for Benjamin.
11:14But don't say that Etta is here.
11:16Why?
11:17I can't talk now.
11:24Benjamin.
11:25Jake.
11:26It's good to see you.
11:28Come in, come in, Benjamin.
11:29Where's Molly?
11:31She's upstairs.
11:32She'll be coming down soon.
11:34You know my Uncle David?
11:36Vaguely.
11:37Oh, I remember you, I think.
11:39David Romaine.
11:40How do you do?
11:41Pleased to meet you.
11:42Uh, sit down, Benjamin.
11:44Sit down, thank you.
11:45It's an elegant house you have.
11:47Oh, thank you, Benjamin.
11:49Uh, did you have supper?
11:52I'm not hungry.
11:55I can see you're troubled, Benjamin.
11:57What is it?
11:59She's leaving me, Jake.
12:01What?
12:02After 25 years of married life, she's leaving me.
12:07Why?
12:08Why?
12:09Do you know?
12:10That's how I know.
12:12The day after my youngest daughter's wedding,
12:14she gave me notice.
12:18Put a snack under, Tay.
12:20No, no, please, Tay.
12:21You're a little older than we are.
12:23Maybe you can give me a little advice.
12:25Yes, sit, David.
12:26I always thought you were such a happy couple.
12:29Why?
12:30Because I didn't talk.
12:32Because I kept everything inside of me.
12:34Because I wanted a peaceful environment for my children.
12:38Another man in my place wouldn't have suffered in silence.
12:42Do I have to tell you it isn't easy to feed six mouths
12:45and to clothe six children?
12:47The weekly envelope, she got.
12:49I only kept what I needed for myself.
12:51A pack of cigarettes, a newspaper,
12:53even lunch I took in the bag from home
12:56the first five years we were married.
12:58It was cheap.
13:00Was I ever told when the children needed food?
13:03When the children needed a pair of shoes?
13:05Was I ever consulted like a husband and father?
13:08Did we ever take a vacation together?
13:12My friends were never invited, only hers.
13:16My sisters and brothers, she got angry
13:18at the first year we were married.
13:22Jake, I was like a border in my own house.
13:25I was only glad when the clock struck 10
13:27so I could say goodnight.
13:30I'm asking you, Jake.
13:32Was I a bad man?
13:34I only tried to keep peace.
13:37And this is my reward.
13:40Did I ever have a clothes closet I could call my own?
13:43Well, did you talk to her?
13:45Did you ask her what she has against you?
13:47I'm not a talking man, Jake.
13:49But sometimes it's necessary to talk.
13:51Talk it out.
13:52Nobody's a mind reader.
13:54And if you'll separate...
13:56Do I want to separate?
13:57She wants it, not me.
13:59So what should I do?
14:00Etta, please.
14:02You're here.
14:04Why didn't you tell me, Jake?
14:05Well, I...
14:06Etta, please, will you listen to my suggestion?
14:08Molly, please.
14:09Etta, do I love you?
14:10Well, you know the answer is yes.
14:12Then listen to me.
14:14Benjamin, take a little walk together.
14:16Give yourself one more chance to talk heart to heart
14:19and face to face, and then come back.
14:22Molly, they'll take a little walk together.
14:24Please.
14:25You don't take 25 years of marriage and throw it out.
14:28Please, go.
14:29You'll walk.
14:30You'll talk.
14:31All right, I'll go and talk.
14:32But there's nothing to talk about.
14:34Talk, Benjamin.
14:35Talk.
14:36Talk it out.
14:37Talk it out.
14:38You'll find plenty to talk about.
14:40Molly is absolutely right.
14:42Go.
14:43Etta, please.
14:44Benjamin, please.
14:51Like strangers.
14:53Married 25 years.
14:55Strangers.
14:57And I thought they were the happiest couple I ever met.
15:02You'll be back already soon, no?
15:05Mm-hmm.
15:06You're playing, Jack.
15:08I can't get over it.
15:10I can't get over it.
15:11If anybody would ask me who are the happiest married couple I know,
15:15I would have to say the Engels.
15:18Play, David.
15:19I don't know.
15:20To be able to keep things beside of you like that.
15:24I couldn't be silent so long.
15:26I could.
15:27But 25 years.
15:29Something.
15:31Play.
15:32I don't know.
15:33When I have something to say.
15:35You say it.
15:36I do.
15:38Not every husband is like Jacob Goldberg.
15:40Not every wife is like Molly Goldberg, neither.
15:43Of course, some of the things you say sometimes, Molly, dear,
15:46hurt to the quick and would be better not said.
15:49For instance?
15:50Play.
15:51For instance?
15:53Well, I can't think of a for instance on the spur of the moment.
15:56Play.
15:57Wait for the playing, David.
15:59If we're talking, Jack, let's talk.
16:01Maybe you have a few hidden grievances in your bosom also.
16:04Well, who hasn't?
16:05Shall I put away the couch or I'll be playing?
16:07Jack?
16:08What?
16:09I'm asking a question.
16:11Maybe it's better to let sleeping dogs lie.
16:13Not at all.
16:15Not at all.
16:16I know that in my heart and my mind I'm unconscious.
16:18If you're unconscious also, then let us talk.
16:21If my advice to my best friend was to talk it out
16:24and your advice was to talk it out,
16:26so why shouldn't we take our own advice
16:28and practice what we preach?
16:30So talk, Jack, no matter what it is.
16:32Small or big.
16:34It's not important.
16:37Your check you never gave me.
16:40We'd be in very fine circumstances, I assure you, if I did.
16:44Such a bad manager I am.
16:46A good manager you're not.
16:48I'm extravagant, I suppose.
16:50Very.
16:53Is this a joke?
16:54If it is, what is the hilarity of your mind?
16:56I want to know it.
16:57I'm not joking, Molly.
16:58For a man in my circumstances,
17:00you are very extravagant if you want to know.
17:03I'm extravagant?
17:06Where is my extravagance?
17:08I have rings on my fingers?
17:10I have a minx on my back?
17:12I have a box in the opera?
17:14I ride around with a car, with a chauffeur, in a limousine?
17:17I said for my circumstances.
17:19Enumerate.
17:21The list is too long.
17:22Long or short, enumerate.
17:25Did you need an electric waxing machine
17:27when you have carpets from wall to wall?
17:29Do you use it?
17:31What else?
17:32What else?
17:33How many pairs of shoes do you have standing
17:35that you never put your foot into?
17:39My shoes you count?
17:42I only said you have ten pairs.
17:44And you only have two pairs.
17:46I didn't say that.
17:48If you counted my shoes,
17:50then you counted your shoes.
17:52Do you realize that the ten pairs of shoes that I have
17:55are an accumulation of sixteen years of buying things?
17:58You asked me to talk, I suppose.
18:00Oh yes, Jake, I want you to talk.
18:02Talk, Jake.
18:03Talk, yes.
18:05Maybe my indulgence of my extravagance
18:09is selfishness.
18:11Maybe I'm selfish.
18:12In some things.
18:14That I want to hear.
18:16That is he I want to hear.
18:18There are all kinds of selfishnesses.
18:20Yes.
18:21In a house full of closets,
18:22should I, as the breadwinner of the family,
18:24not have a closet of my own?
18:26You don't have a closet of your own.
18:28I do not.
18:29The living room closet is not your closet.
18:31Is it?
18:46This is my closet?
19:16Anything else?
19:38I'd rather refrain if you don't mind.
19:40Please.
19:41I mind very much, very much.
19:44Molly.
19:45I'm extravagant.
19:47I'm selfish.
19:48I want to hear the worst.
19:50You heard the worst, Molly, dear,
19:52and it wasn't so bad.
19:54I doubt very much, Jake,
19:57if things between us will be the same
20:00as it was heretofore.
20:01You asked for it.
20:03Yes.
20:04I got much more than I asked for.
20:06Much more.
20:08You counted my shoes.
20:10But when you were counting them, Jake,
20:12did you say to yourself,
20:13would that I could give my wife more at night?
20:17Why, Jake, if I only began,
20:20if I only started to enumerate the things
20:23that I never told you.
20:25Stop.
20:26I'm ready to listen.
20:27All right, Jake, dear.
20:29I have too much consideration for your feelings.
20:33Much too much.
20:37Jake, maybe you shouldn't have said what you said.
20:41Are we playing?
20:42Jake, dear, there's some things
20:43you have to keep inside of you.
20:45There's some things you can't talk about
20:47no matter who it is.
20:50I suppose it wasn't selfish when you went away
20:52on your vacation and you left me home
20:54alone with two little children.
20:56That wasn't selfish.
20:59You play, David.
21:00Jake, maybe go into Molly.
21:03They came to buy me a birthday present
21:05you sent your bookkeeper.
21:07The bookkeeper should buy it.
21:08That's why I had the same present for five years.
21:11Very nice.
21:12Very nice.
21:13A present, you know, isn't how much you spend for it.
21:15A present is how much thought you give it.
21:18It's all right, Jake.
21:19I have plenty grievances in mind with them also.
21:23A person can't hear the truth.
21:25They shouldn't ask for it.
21:29Who's receiving the receiver?
21:32I'm receiving the receiver.
21:38Hello?
21:40Oh, yes.
21:41Who?
21:42One minute.
21:43Your president.
21:44Do I feel like a president?
21:45No.
21:49Hang on.
21:50Tell her I'll call her back when I'm in a different mood, please.
21:53I don't feel like small chitchat now.
21:56Hello?
21:57Oh, could you give me, please, a message for Mrs. Goldberg?
22:03Yes.
22:05Uh-huh.
22:07Oh, I will.
22:08One minute.
22:10She wants to know if you want bulbs.
22:13All I need now is bulbs.
22:15I'll call her back when I'm in a bulb mood.
22:18Well, Mrs. Goldberg didn't decide yet on the bulbs.
22:22She'll call you back tomorrow.
22:25Uh-huh.
22:27Uh-huh.
22:29Yes.
22:30I will tell her.
22:33Goodbye.
22:37Come to the garden meeting next week without fail.
22:40Mildly.
22:41It's all right, David.
22:42It's all right.
22:44It's enough already.
22:45Plenty.
22:54Imagine.
22:56At the angle had to come for a visit.
22:59Did Jake mean what he said?
23:01He said it.
23:04What other two people in the world loved each other like I love my wife?
23:09But they're perfect, she wasn't?
23:12How long is love blind?
23:14Love is eyes and sees.
23:16And if love can see and see in your love anyway, that's love.
23:22That's love.
23:24Am I talking to myself now?
23:29To deaf ears I'm talking?
23:32All together wrong if you'll excuse me.
23:35Jake wasn't.
23:37All together wrong?
23:38No.
23:48Jake, it's enough already?
23:50What did Molly say?
23:52Whatever she said, wrong she wasn't.
23:55She had only bought a postal card for her birthday
23:58and wrote on it, I love you in September like I loved you in May.
24:02Would have meant much more to Molly than the diamonds
24:05and the silk stockings that your bookkeeper buys for her.
24:09Jake.
24:15Molly.
24:24One minute.
24:25One second.
24:28Oh hello, come in, come in.
24:31Did you have a nice walk?
24:33Where's Molly?
24:34And Jake?
24:35I'll call them, excuse me.
24:40Why are you looking at me like that, Benji?
24:42I look at you with different eyes now.
24:45Me too, Benji.
24:46Let's not even talk about it.
24:48Let's hope that God gives us health and years to enjoy each other from now on.
24:53I hope so.
24:59Hello, Etta.
25:00Molly.
25:03Why did you ever move away from me?
25:05I took your good advice, Molly, and the things I learned about myself.
25:09And the things I did to this poor man.
25:12Jake.
25:14Jake, if I live to be a hundred years,
25:16I'll always be thankful to you for what you did for me.
25:20Do you wonder, Etta, that he is the happy man that he is?
25:23Well, they're sensible, intelligent people.
25:25Certainly.
25:26If you realize that even a husband is a person and a wife is a human being.
25:32And to talk over your differences is the solution to a happy marriage.
25:37Why don't you sit down, Etta, Benji?
25:39Is there any time?
25:40Not much if we want to make the last train.
25:42We're going away.
25:43Our first vacation together to Honolulu.
25:46Wonderful.
25:47Thank you, darling.
25:48From the bottom of our hearts.
25:50Goodbye.
25:51Goodbye.
25:53Goodbye.
25:54Goodbye.
25:55Goodbye.
25:56Goodbye.
25:57Goodbye.
25:58Goodbye.
25:59Goodbye.
26:00Goodbye.
26:01Goodbye.
26:02Goodbye, Benjamin.
26:19From now on, David, I...
26:21I want to see that Jake should be transferred upstairs.
26:27I want him to be in a closet all by himself.
26:31It'll be more convenient.
26:35For your next birthday.
26:42I love you in December as I did in May.
26:49Well, my birthday wouldn't be till six months.
26:54Who can wait so long?
27:18THE END
