00:00:06 [Singing]
00:00:35 [Music]
00:00:56 [Train Whistle]
00:01:18 [Bell Ringing]
00:01:40 [Indistinct Chatter]
00:01:48 Why, good morning, Miss Ellen.
00:01:50 Did you have a good Christmas?
00:01:51 Don't be silly.
00:01:52 This is our place, how could you?
00:01:54 Yes, it is quite gall, isn't it?
00:01:56 [Train Whistle]
00:01:57 Next stop, New Haven.
00:02:26 [Bell Ringing]
00:02:42 Doctor both phoned up and asked her.
00:02:48 Listen to this, Ellen, it's kind of swell.
00:02:50 And he said, "Grey Puebler's died victorious."
00:02:53 So he passed over and all the trumpets sounded for him on the other side.
00:02:58 Oh, Mary, why don't you better get your troubles and read those funny papers.
00:03:07 Yes, Miss Talbot, I'll ring Dr. Bull again.
00:03:11 I wonder where old Doc Bull is anyway.
00:03:13 I'll tell you where he is.
00:03:15 You'll find George Bull at the wit of card makers, if he's not at church.
00:03:19 [Laughter]
00:03:21 Yes.
00:03:23 Good morning, Mary.
00:03:25 Good morning, Mrs. Ely.
00:03:26 My, my, I felt so sorry when I heard Joe got hurt.
00:03:30 And to think it happened just a week after you children were married.
00:03:34 It's terrible.
00:03:35 But Dr. Bull said that...
00:03:36 Dr. Bull, huh.
00:03:38 No wonder to me you'd even let him touch the husband's wine, Mrs. Ely.
00:03:41 The way George Bull and the widow card maker carry on is a shameless scandal in this town.
00:03:46 Do you know Lodge Perry told me that Bull's car was up at her house three nights last week.
00:03:53 And he said that one night he didn't leave till...
00:03:57 Well, I won't tell you.
00:04:00 I must get to services.
00:04:03 Oh, I'm expecting a package from the Pontifex Medical Company.
00:04:07 Be sure and save it for me, Helen.
00:04:09 I will.
00:04:12 That old...
00:04:14 Still, she's right about Dr. Bull and the widow card maker.
00:04:17 They've been the main topic of conversation in this town for the last five years.
00:04:21 I don't see why two people can't be friends without everybody talking.
00:04:24 Yeah, but what sort of friends are they, darling?
00:04:26 That's what we want to know.
00:04:30 Hello?
00:04:33 Yes.
00:04:34 Yes, I will.
00:04:37 I'm sorry, I was in a little bit of a hurry.
00:04:52 [singing]
00:05:12 Is that the phone I had, Ma?
00:05:15 What'd you say, Kenneth?
00:05:16 Oh, Kenneth.
00:05:18 I often have told you that your son, Kenneth, for the last 50 years has been in heaven.
00:05:23 I hope he has.
00:05:25 I'm your nephew, George Bull.
00:05:28 Dr. Bull.
00:05:31 Have they found out who committed the murder yet?
00:05:37 I figured it was the doctor.
00:05:39 The doctor?
00:05:41 Pardon me.
00:05:42 You'll be late for church.
00:05:55 Now, people that are sick are going to get well.
00:06:13 Look at that hat.
00:06:19 Oh, I forgot it was Sunday.
00:06:46 Wait a minute there, Ma.

00:13:17 Oh, I forgot it was Sunday.
00:13:23 - How's he doing, darling? - Oh, he's great. He's feeling fine. Just needs a little sleep, that's all.
00:13:29 - I'll see you again tomorrow, Joe. - Thanks, Doc. Appreciate it.
00:13:37 - So long. - Thanks, Doc.
00:13:43 (silence)
00:13:49 (silence)
00:13:55 (silence)
00:14:01 (silence)
00:14:05 - Hello, Doc. You're just in time. We need you. - What's the matter? Somebody sick?
00:14:09 - Cal! - Cal? - Yes, Miss Cartman. I just got to the bar and I'm with her now.
00:14:15 - Eh, Lord, why don't you get a vet? - It's a Jersey. She's down, too.
00:14:21 (silence)
00:14:27 Hey, you know, she's not only paralyzed, she's got a high fever, too. Here, just a moment.
00:14:33 (silence)
00:14:38 - She wasn't any good, was she? - She won the Jersey Prize at the fair.
00:14:44 - What, that thing? - Yes, that thing.
00:14:49 Here, take that right over to the drugstore. Give her that and water about every two hours.
00:14:54 Keep those wet blankets on her all night. And then you better phone that veterinarian over at Tarrington, and by morning she'll be dead.
00:15:02 Well, I like that.
00:15:07 Well, ain't anything else you can do here? You got any cider?
00:15:13 Come into the house. You going to stay for supper?
00:15:19 - Always do, don't I? - Come on in.
00:15:25 - You look pretty, Jane. - Oh, you always look pretty.
00:15:32 - How long have you been up for the last three days? - Massive.
00:15:37 Been to choir practice, mostly.
00:15:41 Well, I've been sneaking around. Pretty close to Joe Tupping, too.
00:15:45 I know doctors never tell their professional secrets, but have you any hope for Joe?
00:15:51 - Pretty worried about him, Jane. - Well, that's a good sign.
00:15:59 - You got any cider? - No.
00:16:02 How's the cider?
00:16:05 Shakespeare says, "It warms the cockles of my heart."
00:16:10 When as I was a little tiny boy with a high horn, the wind and the rain.
00:16:18 You have been to choir practice, haven't you?
00:16:21 I don't know. I kind of relax when I get up here on these windswept hills with these.
00:16:30 - Hang on. - You know, some old early settler had the thing about right when he...
00:16:37 He said that most of life is a storm, and without a harbor, a man is lost.
00:16:44 - And a woman? - A woman don't need refuge like a man.
00:16:50 I wonder.
00:16:53 Oh, Miss Danny, supper's ready.
00:16:59 - Good evening, Dr. Bull. - Good evening, Mary.
00:17:03 Evening.
00:17:14 I can remember the times, George Bull, when you used to leap to pull my chair out for me.
00:17:18 See, I could leap some in those days, too, couldn't I?
00:17:23 Oh, I guess I'm getting old.
00:17:27 Maybe your cider was younger in those days.
00:17:30 You just take me for granted, that's all.
00:17:33 No. You're wrong, Maggie.
00:17:37 You're wrong, Maggie.
00:17:40 (faint rustling)
00:17:44 (faint rustling)
00:17:48 (faint rustling)
00:18:13 I phoned and phoned, and I could get no answer.
00:18:17 - How is she now? - Mrs. Talbot, calm down.
00:18:20 - That Mamie's just about the same. - I wonder where Dr. Bull could be.
00:18:24 Come here.
00:18:26 There's where he is, up there on that hill.
00:18:29 You see that light? Oh, the shame of it.
00:18:33 Mamie lying there, mid-dim, breathing her last breath, maybe.
00:18:38 And he and Janet Cardmaker are up there.
00:18:41 And what do you suppose they're doing?
00:18:44 Oh, the shame. I'll tell you what they're doing.
00:18:48 "Did you say pig or fig?" said the cat.
00:18:55 "I said pig," replied Alice.
00:18:58 "And I wish you wouldn't keep appearing and vanishing so suddenly."
00:19:02 "You make one quite pitiable."
00:19:04 "All right," said the cat, "and this time it vanished quite slowly,
00:19:08 beginning with the end of the tale and ending with a grin,
00:19:11 which remained some time after the rest of it had gone."
00:19:14 "Well, I've often seen a cat without a grin," thought Alice.
00:19:17 "But a grin without a cat?
00:19:20 It's the most curious thing I ever saw in all my life."
00:19:24 (laughs)
00:19:26 Silly kind of a thing, but sort of funny at that.
00:19:29 Well, that's why I saw him, George.
00:19:31 (phone rings)
00:19:32 - Now, listen, I'm not here, you understand? - Yes, you are.
00:19:35 I'm not here.
00:19:37 Hello? Yes.
00:19:40 Oh, all right, I'll tell him.
00:19:42 Oh, what'd you tell 'em I was here for?
00:19:44 Mrs. Ely said Mamie Talbot's word.
00:19:46 They want you to come right over.
00:19:48 Now, come on, you've got to go.
00:19:50 I just come by there a while ago, way over here.
00:19:54 The old doctor.
00:19:57 Got to go. I don't know what happened.
00:20:00 Say, that old bunion, when you get here by the fire, it kind of swells up on you.
00:20:05 I'd like to have me some house slippers.
00:20:07 - It wasn't cold. - Yeah?
00:20:09 I'm gonna quit this business some of these days,
00:20:13 and I'm gonna come up here for a manubrium.
00:20:16 Yeah.
00:20:17 And I'm gonna sleep a month right there on that couch, right by that fire.
00:20:21 You'll be welcome, George.
00:20:23 Thanks, dear. I'll be careful.
00:20:26 Yeah. All right.
00:20:32 Ooh! Hey, it's cold.
00:20:35 Listen. You can hear those trees popping.
00:20:38 Look at those stars.
00:20:40 Good night, George.
00:20:42 Good night.
00:20:44 Hey, Jane, come here.
00:20:49 Hear the carol singers.
00:20:51 I was supposed to sing with them tonight.
00:20:54 - But it's too late now. - Good night, George.
00:20:57 Good night, Jane.
00:20:59 [singing]
00:21:01 [shouting]
00:21:11 Hey, the medico!
00:21:27 [shouting]
00:21:29 Hello, Marietta. You're back again.
00:21:56 - How you feeling, huh? - Oh, I'm glad you're back.
00:21:59 - Ah, good. - Thank you.
00:22:01 - How you want it? Boy or girl, huh? - Oh, I'm gonna eat 'em.
00:22:05 You know, old Doc, girl.
00:22:07 Give me some, uh...
00:22:09 a bowl of water and a towel and soap, will you?
00:22:12 - You know what to get. - I'll put something over here.
00:22:15 Not long, Louie. Those all yours?
00:22:20 Oh, my, Doc!
00:22:22 Looks like you need another one.
00:22:25 [whimpering]
00:22:27 [whimpering]
00:22:33 [whimpering]
00:22:43 [chattering]
00:22:46 [whimpering]
00:22:53 - It's been a tough night, Louie. - Oh, please, Doc.
00:22:56 But you got a fine big boy.
00:22:58 [shouting]
00:23:00 [speaking Italian]
00:23:06 Ah, you bet. Have some vino.
00:23:09 I love to bring Italian babies into the world.
00:23:12 A lot of places you go, all you get is a cup of coffee.
00:23:16 One old skin-flint farmer the other night, I brought him twins.
00:23:22 And all I got was a cup of sass-frass tea.
00:23:25 You speak English?
00:23:30 [rooster crowing]
00:23:36 Well, that's a fine baby, Louie.
00:23:38 In fact, that's Dave, that one. He's the best of the bunch.
00:23:41 Don't give him any of that wine for a couple of days.
00:23:43 No, no, Doc. I'll wait for you.
00:23:45 Goodbye, Doc. Goodbye.
00:23:47 And thank you very much for the fine baby.
00:23:49 [speaking Italian]
00:23:52 Well, if you're going to have a doctor,
00:24:06 you ought to attend to his business.
00:24:08 - Banning's right. - It's time we made a change.
00:24:11 Still, the Bannings happy to talk to you,
00:24:14 after the way they treated Mamie.
00:24:16 No, they hadn't.
00:24:19 Come in.
00:24:21 Good morning.
00:24:27 How is Miss Allie?
00:24:29 Is she sleeping at last, the poor thing?
00:24:31 Fine. We bought some things and some food.
00:24:35 Oh, that's real kind.
00:24:37 - We knew you would. - Oh, we knew you'd want to help out.
00:24:40 - It would be appreciated. - Yes, it's all very kind of you.
00:24:44 - May I see your baby, doctor? - Oh, yes.
00:24:46 - May I see your baby, doctor? - Oh, yes.
00:24:48 Poor Mamie.
00:24:52 Well, there's Dr. George Bullhorn.
00:24:54 - Give him proper medical attention, my dear. - Absolutely.
00:24:57 - Correct. - That's right.
00:24:59 - Yes, he's a bit awfully nice. - Oh, yes, she's lovely.
00:25:02 Good morning, dear.
00:25:09 Good morning.
00:25:11 Is this terrible?
00:25:13 Poor Mamie. She was so young.
00:25:15 She must have hated to die.
00:25:17 Oh, I don't know.
00:25:19 I've seen a hundred people die,
00:25:21 and none of them ever seem to mind it.
00:25:23 It's all too sick to mind it.
00:25:25 What did you say?
00:25:27 Oh, there's an old saying.
00:25:30 There's only one way into the world, but there's a thousand ways out.
00:25:34 - The Bible. - Mm-hmm.
00:25:36 - Here. - You dropped your spoon there, ma'am.
00:25:41 I get it.
00:25:43 Dr. Bull, why weren't you here last night?
00:25:47 You might have been able to save her.
00:25:50 I don't know.
00:25:52 Thirty percent of the people die with this disease,
00:25:55 even with a good doctor.
00:25:57 You either have the stamina to hang on and develop a resistance,
00:26:03 or you haven't got it.
00:26:05 Poor Mamie didn't have it.
00:26:07 If a fat person like you are, Miss Banning, they'd have that.
00:26:10 I beg your pardon.
00:26:12 I'd have to use that to meet on you.
00:26:14 - Come, Herbert. - We leave everything in your charge.
00:26:17 And at the expense of this, send me the bill. I'll pay.
00:26:21 I'm sure that you and Amy work for us.
00:26:25 Yes. She worked for you.
00:26:28 I don't think there can be any doubt about that.
00:26:31 - When's the funeral? - I don't know.
00:26:36 What?
00:26:38 First time I ever caught you without any information.
00:26:42 - How old is Mamie? - Seventeen.
00:26:44 Come to think of it, wasn't she eighteen?
00:26:46 - She was older than that. - I remember on the Fourth of July.
00:26:49 - Fourth of July? - Fourth of July?
00:26:51 Wait a minute.
00:26:53 It don't make any difference now, does it?
00:26:56 - Hello, Doc. - Hello, Mother.
00:27:03 Hello, Doc. How are you?
00:27:08 - Can I get me about a quarter coffee, please? - Sure.
00:27:12 What's the matter, Doc? You look like you've had a hard night.
00:27:15 No. It wasn't me who had the hard night. It was my patient.
00:27:19 - How's Clara? - She's fine, thanks.
00:27:21 - How's your folks, John? - Baby has it.
00:27:24 - I'll get over there this afternoon. - There you are, Doc.
00:27:27 - She's let strong enough. - I'm sorry.
00:27:30 Say, Doc, I've been having trouble with my sight again.
00:27:33 And it just kept me awake all night last night.
00:27:36 And I could fix up all the pills that you told me to fix.
00:27:39 And it didn't do me a bit of good, and I just don't know...
00:27:41 Oh, shut up, will you?
00:27:43 After anybody being up all night with real sick people,
00:27:45 they want to sit here and hear you whine?
00:27:47 Oh, well, Doc, I'm real sick, too. I'm one of your best patients.
00:27:50 I want to know what's the matter with me.
00:27:52 - Hello, girls. - Hello, Doc.
00:27:54 - How are you? - What are you going to have?
00:27:56 We want five chocolate-molded milks.
00:27:59 That's what's the matter with him, Doc.
00:28:02 Five sweet-molded milks for five beautiful girls.
00:28:06 - Oh, yes. - I'm not kidding.
00:28:08 - Y'all going to the dance Saturday night? - Yeah!
00:28:11 Oh, boy, I'll be there.
00:28:14 I'll be there if I don't have that pain in my sight again.
00:28:17 - Oh, don't you feel good, Larry? - No, I just have pains all the time.
00:28:21 - I just don't know what I'm going to do about it. - Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:28:26 - There. Will you dance with me? - Sure.
00:28:30 - That is for Biden, if I don't have that pain. - Yeah.
00:28:33 - Well, don't have that pain. - Well, I won't if you don't want me to.
00:28:38 Here you are. It's that double ice cream.
00:28:44 Say, Mr. Snyder, I hope you're keeping that camp of yours up there sanitary.
00:28:52 Sure. We'll be pulling out of here next week.
00:28:56 The new Whitman will have plenty of electric power.
00:28:58 Yeah, and pay plenty of money for it, too.
00:29:01 We know your attitude about modern improvements.
00:29:04 Dr. Bulwer's half of this is riding around horse and buggy if he had his way.
00:29:07 Yeah? Well, we wouldn't all be making payments on it anyhow.
00:29:11 Had no business ever putting that camp up there...
00:29:15 so near where the town got its water supply, but Mr. Banning insisted on it.
00:29:19 And, of course, he has his way all the time.
00:29:21 Well, you better keep it clean, I'll tell you that.
00:29:25 [door slams]
00:29:27 Well, hello, Dr. Barney. How are you?
00:29:47 How are you, Dr. Bulwer?
00:29:49 Say, that's some car you got there.
00:29:52 Yeah, I made an awful mistake by trying to learn medicine instead of being a diagnostician.
00:29:59 There's many a tonsil in there, Doc.
00:30:02 Look at that steel trough of mine over there.
00:30:06 Oh, by the way, Dr. Bulwer, how's that paralyzed case I x-rayed for you?
00:30:10 - Old guilt-topping? - Yes.
00:30:13 None too good.
00:30:15 You better take my advice and get him into a state institution. He'll never walk again.
00:30:20 His wife's got a kind of a crazy idea that I'm gonna be able to help him.
00:30:25 Oh, I see.
00:30:27 Yeah, but I'll keep on doctoring on him anyhow.
00:30:30 - Good luck. If I can help you. - Thanks, Doc.
00:30:34 [sounds of water]
00:31:00 Here's a little sniff of potty, Kenneth.
00:31:03 Don't call me Kenneth. I'm still the Reverend Ethan Bull's son, George.
00:31:08 Calling me Kenneth ain't gonna keep me from taking this little sniff.
00:31:12 Of course, George. I must be getting old.
00:31:18 Near a hundred.
00:31:20 - You feeling tough? - Tough?
00:31:23 Oh, dear. I'm tired, Aunt Moya.
00:31:29 I'm gonna try to take a little nap.
00:31:31 George Curry came in today with three dozen eggs to pay his bill.
00:31:36 Yep. I'll bet you half of 'em's hatched by now.
00:31:41 Oh, Lord, that...
00:31:44 - You answer it, will you? - Yes, Pop.
00:31:49 And if anybody's tractor's broke down, tell 'em to...
00:31:52 ...grease it with castor oil.
00:31:55 If anybody's sick, tell 'em to do the same thing.
00:32:01 [knocking]
00:32:07 - It's me. - That's what I was afraid of.
00:32:11 - Oh, but I need you again, Doc. - Yeah, I need a lock on that door, too.
00:32:15 Oh, honest, Doc, I'm awful sick and I've been having the terribleest dreams.
00:32:20 Last night, I woke up in a cold sweat, a cold sweat and terrible pains in my chest.
00:32:26 And I dreamed I was in a big room with a lot of doctors all around me, close.
00:32:30 And they were dressed in white. And they had me on an operating table.
00:32:34 And they come up real, real close to me and pointed at me and said, "You're bad sick.
00:32:39 And it's gonna kill you, Larry. There's a groove on your kidneys and it's gonna kill you.
00:32:44 And we're gonna take it out." And they put me on this table.
00:32:47 And then they had all these knives and hammers and saws and tongs around.
00:32:51 And one of the doctors grabbed one with a long, great beard.
00:32:55 And he sat right on my chest and opened my chest and just--
00:32:59 - And I woke up. - Who woke you up?
00:33:03 - I woke myself up. - If you're that smart, cure yourself.
00:33:07 Oh, I can't do it, Doc. You gotta do something to help me, Larry.
00:33:12 Oh, go take a big dose of castor oil and cut out that dream.
00:33:17 But I can't stop dreaming. I try to, honest. I--
00:33:20 - Stay awake. - But I feel worse when I'm awake.
00:33:24 Oh, go to sleep, then.
00:33:27 Oh, you're getting hard-hearted, Doc. And the people in town are talking about it.
00:33:32 And it ain't gonna do you any good if I die.
00:33:36 You think it ain't.
00:33:40 [Door Closes]
00:33:42 - Hello? - Yes, Mrs. Banning.
00:33:46 Hold the line.
00:33:48 Hello? Hello, Torrington. New Whitten calling Dr. Vernie.
00:33:52 One moment, please. Here's your party.
00:33:55 That's the second time Mrs. Banning called up today.
00:33:58 - Hey, what's the matter with Virginia? - Don't ask me.
00:34:03 - But you must, Virginia. Dr. Vernie said so. - I don't care what Dr. Vernie said. I'm not going to bed.
00:34:08 - But you're ill, my darling. - You haven't been the same since you came back from the dance at the university.
00:34:13 Now, what happened to you?
00:34:15 Mother, will you leave me alone?
00:34:18 I won't leave Vernie unless the end of it.
00:34:21 - If you don't leave me alone, I'll scream. - When will you be here any minute?
00:34:24 - I don't care. I won't stay. - Where are you going?
00:34:26 - Where I can be alone. - Virginia, will you listen to your mother? Listen to me.
00:34:30 - Virginia. Virginia. - Virginia. Virginia.
00:34:34 Virginia, come here.
00:34:37 Virginia. Virginia, please. Virginia.
00:34:48 Virginia, will you listen to me?
00:34:54 Virginia, come on over to our table and sit with us.
00:34:57 I don't want to. I told you so.
00:35:00 - Will you leave me alone? - Please come on, Virginia.
00:35:03 - I told you before, I want to be alone. - All right.
00:35:08 - Virginia, come on. - I don't want to.
00:35:16 - Virginia, come on. - I don't want to.

00:37:31 - Virginia, come on. - I don't want to.
00:37:34 - What's the matter? - What's the matter?
00:37:37 - Are you crazy? What are you doing? - I hurt my ankle.
00:37:40 - I knew something was up. - Get out of here.
00:37:43 - You might have been killed. - I wish I had.
00:37:46 You didn't miss it very far. Come on up to my office.
00:37:49 - I want to talk to you about something, Doc. - Yeah?
00:37:52 - Come on. - I want to talk to you alone.
00:37:55 That'll be all, Mrs. Ely. We won't need you any longer.
00:37:58 We won't need you any longer.
00:38:01 So that's the guy, huh? The A footballer.
00:38:11 I remember seeing his picture in the paper.
00:38:14 Where'd you run on to him?
00:38:17 I was up at the university for a weekend.
00:38:20 I met him at a house party.
00:38:23 - So you fell for each other, huh? - Yes, we did.
00:38:26 We both had a lot to drink.
00:38:29 We went out in his car.
00:38:32 Everything would have been all right if the car hadn't stopped.
00:38:35 Don't go blaming it all on the car.
00:38:38 Even back in my time, the old horse would stop.
00:38:41 Hey, listen, didn't I see your picture in the paper...
00:38:44 where you were going to marry old...
00:38:47 Senator... old Blohard Hammond's son?
00:38:50 Well, that's Mother's idea.
00:38:53 - You wouldn't have stuck with him, would you? - No.
00:38:56 Well, do you like... do you love this... this fellow?
00:38:59 Yes.
00:39:04 - Does... does he love you? - Yes.
00:39:07 - Who? - What's his number?
00:39:11 - Well, Doc, I don't want you to call him up. - What's his number?
00:39:14 He's on 6525.
00:39:17 Hello, Mary. Come on.
00:39:20 - Give me long distance, will you? - What did you say her number was?
00:39:23 Kingsville 6525.
00:39:26 Kingsville 6525.
00:39:29 Lord, when did you girls go to painting your toenails like that?
00:39:35 - Say, does he know about this? - Oh, no, he doesn't, Doc.
00:39:40 I'm not blaming him. It was all my fault.
00:39:43 But he does love me. Really, he does.
00:39:46 I'm going to give him a chance to prove it. Hello? Hello?
00:39:49 Muller? John Muller?
00:39:52 Hello. John? This is Virginia.
00:40:03 I'm sorry I left in such a hurry. I had to come home right away.
00:40:09 I'm coming up to spend a few days with Eunice.
00:40:13 Are you really glad?
00:40:17 Certainly I like you.
00:40:20 I mean, I love you.
00:40:23 - I'll see you tomorrow. - What?
00:40:28 Yes, of course you can.
00:40:31 Later. Mother and father...
00:40:34 Of course, I'll be glad to meet you, John.
00:40:37 Hello. Hello, son.
00:40:40 Hello, hello.
00:40:44 Yes, yes. Virginia tells me you children had a little spat.
00:40:47 Well, you must fix that right up.
00:40:50 Yes. And our blessings are on you. Goodbye, son.
00:40:53 I guess it's all right. I hope it is.
00:40:58 Sure. It's going to be all right. It's going to be fine.
00:41:01 - How's your ankle? - You can put the bandage on as if it were really hurt.
00:41:05 Put it on so it would hurt.
00:41:09 You've got a lot of alibi to do with your folks around here.
00:41:12 You're the best friend I ever had, Doctor.
00:41:15 No. That football guy is the best friend you ever had.
00:41:18 He better be anyhow.
00:41:21 Oh, it's starting to rain.
00:41:26 Yes. Soon the birds will be singing and flowers will be blooming and...
00:41:29 First thing you know, spring sickness will be here.
00:41:33 Then I'll have to load the whole town up on sulfur and molasses.
00:41:37 - Good morning, Aunt Mara. - Good morning.
00:41:40 Looks like it's going to be a good day today.
00:41:44 - Bless my soul. - Bless you.
00:41:47 Football star with New Winton girl.
00:41:50 This morning in a surprise wedding, Miss Virginia Banning of New Winton...
00:41:53 became the bride of Mr. Jack Muller.
00:41:57 Of all the things.
00:42:00 I'm so happy.
00:42:03 Muller. Of all the things.
00:42:06 I bet the Banning family are having a fit.
00:42:10 It's a good thing you read the papers, aren't they?
00:42:13 They would know what's going on in society around here.
00:42:16 It's a big, big fuss.
00:42:19 Didn't she confide in you at all? Didn't she say anything about it?
00:42:22 I tell you, Herbert, it isn't true. It isn't true.
00:42:25 Virginia wouldn't do a thing like that.
00:42:28 She went up there to visit Ewen.
00:42:31 Muller, it's awful. I tell you, it's awful.
00:42:34 What's awful?
00:42:37 Mary, will you leave the room, please?
00:42:40 Virginia has married a German up at the university.
00:42:46 A German? A German?
00:42:49 His name is Mueller.
00:42:52 His name is Mueller.
00:42:55 I just can't believe it. After all I've done for him.
00:42:58 I've done everything I could have planned for him.
00:43:01 What will Senator Hammond say?
00:43:04 All the disgrace of it.
00:43:07 All the disgrace of it. I'll get to the bottom of this.
00:43:10 I'll wait till Bull has something to do with it.
00:43:13 Good morning, Susie.
00:43:16 Good morning, Dr.
00:43:19 What are you dragging around here?
00:43:22 Drooping around like an old hen. What's the matter? Don't you feel good?
00:43:25 I'm not feeling good, Susie.
00:43:28 You'd better take a good big dose of castor oil.
00:43:31 What's the matter with the water?
00:43:39 It's been raining for a week.
00:43:42 It doesn't taste good.
00:43:45 You don't seem surprised at this wedding.
00:43:48 Why would I be surprised? Young people have to get married, don't they?
00:43:51 They better.
00:43:54 I'm going to phone Dr. Bernie.
00:43:57 All the banning ladies. They're going to all be sick.
00:44:00 Do you want to hear a beautiful poem?
00:44:03 No.
00:44:06 There must be something for me this morning.
00:44:09 Sign this.
00:44:12 Have you seen Dr. Bull?
00:44:15 No.
00:44:18 But I met Susie on the street and she said he promised her some medicine.
00:44:21 But he left the house without giving it to her.
00:44:24 If I had my way, we'd have a new doctor in this town.
00:44:27 Yes, Mrs. Healy, we know that.
00:44:30 [glass clinking]
00:44:33 [crickets chirping]
00:45:01 That's better still.
00:45:04 Doctor, you said if you lasted till morning, you'd be all right.
00:45:10 Morning, Megan.
00:45:21 You're feeling better, aren't you?
00:45:24 What are you doing up this time of the morning?
00:45:27 Didn't we get you a cup of hot coffee?
00:45:30 No, I missed it. I wish I could.
00:45:33 I'd love to have one.
00:45:36 It's been that long, hasn't it?
00:45:39 I know, but I'm getting old at school.
00:45:42 You, uh, let me use your phone a minute.
00:45:45 We ain't got a phone, Doctor.
00:45:48 You're lucky.
00:45:51 I wish I had one.
00:45:54 Have a break and you can come in tomorrow.
00:45:57 You're going to be fine.
00:45:59 Good morning.
00:46:00 Bye, Doctor.
00:46:01 All right, good morning.
00:46:02 Goodbye, Doctor.
00:46:05 Honey.
00:46:10 He said you're going to be all right now.
00:46:13 Hello, Larry.
00:46:14 No, and I've tried everywhere I know to reach Dr. Bull for you.
00:46:17 I'll try him again after a while.
00:46:20 [door opens]
00:46:21 May, how'd you get Dr. Bull a break?
00:46:24 Don't stop me.
00:46:26 What's Larry got now?
00:46:27 Open mouth disease, I hope.
00:46:30 [children screaming]
00:46:39 Don't see anything much matter with them, Miss Cunnington.
00:46:42 Seem to be all right.
00:46:44 Hello, Doc.
00:46:45 Hello, Jackie.
00:46:46 [children screaming]
00:46:50 Hello, kids.
00:46:51 How are you?
00:46:52 Come here, Bruce.
00:46:53 I want to see you.
00:46:56 What are you going to do to me now, Doc?
00:46:58 You're going to take out those tonkots.
00:47:00 You already took them out once.
00:47:02 Oh, did I?
00:47:04 [chatter]
00:47:07 I don't know if they go back in again.
00:47:09 I didn't know I'd be going back in again.
00:47:12 Why, you sit here messing with your own car, medicine.
00:47:19 People in this town need you.
00:47:21 I just went over to see Mr. Sude.
00:47:23 I tell you, it isn't spring fever.
00:47:25 It's typhoid fever.
00:47:27 What?
00:47:28 That's what I said.
00:47:29 Sude's got it.
00:47:31 I can smell it.
00:47:32 Oh, a typhoid fever is a disease caused by a specific organism
00:47:38 called bacillus typhosus.
00:47:40 It'll fall on you.
00:47:42 Out of the trees or like manna down from heaven.
00:47:45 Yes.
00:47:46 But in plain words, it's a germ, isn't it?
00:47:49 And you can get it at your mouth, can't you?
00:47:52 Well, let it go a couple of days and we'll see what happens.
00:47:56 And let others catch it.
00:47:58 Catch it?
00:47:59 No, catch it.
00:48:00 An intestinal disease.
00:48:03 Sometimes them bugs get into water, don't they?
00:48:06 And people drink the water, don't they?
00:48:09 How does Sude look?
00:48:15 She's got a burning fever and pains in her stomach.
00:48:20 Has she got any splotches on her skin, kind of rose-colored splotches?
00:48:25 She looks awful red.
00:48:29 Well, I told you.
00:48:33 You want tea or coffee for supper?
00:48:36 Do you want tea or coffee for your supper, Kenneth?
00:48:41 Coffee.
00:48:44 [silence]
00:49:00 Hey, is all this yours, Doc?
00:49:02 Oh, yes.
00:49:04 An exhibit like this, you ought to take me to the center of progress.
00:49:10 If the machinery will do me any good, you ought to keep people living a hundred years.
00:49:14 Will you come in, Doctor?
00:49:16 Wouldn't mind being a patient here in the center.
00:49:18 Yes, we have all the latest equipment.
00:49:21 Sit down.
00:49:23 I'm going to give you a chance to try some of it out.
00:49:26 You know, Doctor, I've got 11 cases of sickness in my little town over there.
00:49:30 It's all broke out in the last couple of days.
00:49:32 In fact, since the rain.
00:49:33 Yes, I heard about it.
00:49:36 I've got a specimen.
00:49:38 A specimen of blood there.
00:49:40 That's from our cook, Suzy.
00:49:42 I want you to try that out on your fancy apparati in there and see what's in it.
00:49:48 What do you think is in there?
00:49:50 Typhoid.
00:49:51 Oh, I doubt that.
00:49:53 No, of course you're fresh.
00:49:55 Listen, I'm a little cow, Doc.
00:49:58 In fact, it wasn't me that discovered the idea that it was typhoid.
00:50:03 It was Aunt Myra.
00:50:04 She smelled it.
00:50:05 Smelled it?
00:50:06 Nonsense.
00:50:09 But there should be a source of infection.
00:50:12 Oh, Mrs. Janet Cardmaker supplies the village with milk, doesn't she?
00:50:16 Yeah.
00:50:17 It's the best milk ever, worst milk, too.
00:50:20 Has to be examined by the state every week.
00:50:23 Oh, Miss Stanley, I want to do a typhoid culture.
00:50:26 Put 50 cubic centimeters of that solution we have in the lab,
00:50:28 in my flask, and free of this specimen of Dr. Bowles and shoot it in the incubator.
00:50:32 Immediately, Doctor.
00:50:38 What did he hear, Doc?
00:50:39 Oh, she's a bit new.
00:50:41 Nice girl.
00:50:42 Well, I'll let you know the results tomorrow.
00:50:44 Oh, and by the way, I had a letter from the foundation about that Joe Tupping case.
00:50:47 There's absolutely no chance.
00:50:48 I'm sorry.
00:50:51 I am, too.
00:50:52 I'm still working on him with a little serum that I cooked up myself.
00:50:57 What?
00:51:00 You know, I've got a theory that, well, what Joe's nervous system needs is a shock.
00:51:09 You know, like a watch.
00:51:11 When it ain't running, you drop it and it starts sometime.
00:51:15 Yes, I see.
00:51:17 Sounds kind of simple, don't it?
00:51:19 Yes, very.
00:51:22 Good day, Doc.
00:51:24 Good bye, Doctor.
00:51:30 Howdy, Doc.
00:51:31 Hello, gay lord.
00:51:33 How's the cow?
00:51:34 Pretty pure.
00:51:37 I hear Miss Janice got some new ones, this--this sudden.
00:51:41 Don't you know her?
00:51:42 No, I don't know her.
00:51:43 How'd I know her?
00:51:45 That's the cow of your doctor.
00:51:46 Yeah?
00:51:48 Did that old cow die?
00:51:50 Die?
00:51:51 She kicked me this morning.
00:51:55 Say, was--was she really afflicted like you said she was?
00:52:00 That cow didn't move a leg in three weeks.
00:52:04 Plum paralyzed, huh?
00:52:06 Plum.
00:52:10 My golly, I wish I could remember what I'd give her.
00:52:34 Yeah.
00:52:35 So?
00:52:36 This ain't gonna hurt.
00:52:38 Much.
00:52:46 Like this.
00:52:54 How's your leg, say?
00:52:55 About the same, Doc.
00:52:58 Hey, see those toes sticking up there?
00:53:01 Gonna have them wiggling pretty soon.
00:53:03 You keep up the rubbing on the leg.
00:53:06 Say, where's the--where's the hot water, muscle?
00:53:09 Gosh, I'm freezing to death here, Doc.
00:53:12 You'll be sweating pretty soon.
00:53:16 What is that stuff you give me, Doc?
00:53:20 Oh, uh, what was this?
00:53:24 Oh, it's, uh, well, pork.
00:53:28 Pork's got a--it's got a long Latin name.
00:53:31 You wouldn't know what it was.
00:53:33 I can't hardly say it myself.
00:53:36 But it'll do the trick.
00:53:38 The trick, huh?
00:53:40 Got two more shots, and we got it.
00:53:43 You're out, Marlon.
00:53:44 Want you to come over to Suzie's right away.
00:53:46 Suzie's?
00:53:48 Say, uh, by the way, what are you--what are you doing out here today?
00:53:52 How come you ain't working?
00:53:54 Doris is taking my place.
00:53:56 Well, that's fine.
00:53:57 That's great.
00:53:58 Take good care of Joe right now.
00:54:00 He's, uh, he's getting along fine.
00:54:03 All he needs is a little more sleep.
00:54:05 I think you need some sleep, Dr. Boole.
00:54:08 Me?
00:54:09 Doctor?
00:54:10 Sleep?
00:54:13 We gotta die to get any sleep.
00:54:15 So long.
00:54:16 So long, Doc.
00:54:17 Take it up.
00:54:18 I'll be back tomorrow.
00:54:19 All right, Doc.
00:54:22 Oh, Joe.
00:54:24 Did you hear what he said?
00:54:27 He has no up-to-date idea.
00:54:29 We all know that.
00:54:30 Oh, hi.
00:54:32 Good morning, Boole.
00:54:36 Hello, Vance.
00:54:37 Anything for me?
00:54:38 Yeah, here's a special for you.
00:54:50 My golly, Ann Meyer was right.
00:54:52 That do stuff?
00:54:53 Yeah.
00:54:54 Say, we got a--we got a tri-part epidemic in this town.
00:54:58 Huh?
00:54:59 What's that?
00:55:00 Here's a report from the Barney Laboratories.
00:55:03 Says it's tri-part.
00:55:05 Now we gotta get busy.
00:55:06 I knew something was wrong.
00:55:08 Are you sure of that?
00:55:09 Yeah, now, uh, we got to boil all the water.
00:55:13 And everybody in town's gotta be inoculated.
00:55:15 I won't let any child of mine be shot full of em' both.
00:55:18 My brother Howard nearly lost his arm that time you stuck him for smallpox.
00:55:21 You mean to tell me that's what's wrong with my little girl, tri-part?
00:55:25 Well, I'm afraid it is.
00:55:28 I'm gonna call Dr. Hart.
00:55:30 And you say the water's contaminated?
00:55:32 It may be.
00:55:33 How did it get contaminated?
00:55:35 Well, it's my opinion that, uh, it's the drainage from that construction camp.
00:55:39 You're the health officer.
00:55:41 When did you last inspect that camp?
00:55:43 Well, uh, uh, Banning and Snyder, I told them to keep it clean.
00:55:48 But you're the health officer, ain't you?
00:55:50 Oh, there's a lot of sickness in this town.
00:55:52 I've got no time to run around looking at water.
00:55:54 Who cares what causes?
00:55:56 It's here, ain't it?
00:55:57 Now, I'm gonna vaccinate all the children at schoolhouse in the morning.
00:56:00 And I want some time to have my too.
00:56:06 I got some good news for you kids.
00:56:08 How'd you like to have a day's vacation?
00:56:11 Swatch!
00:56:13 That's great.
00:56:14 Well, now, uh, all in the world you're gonna have to do is just to, uh, is to roll up your sleeves.
00:56:19 No, no, you're left sleeve.
00:56:33 You ain't gonna stick that needle in us, are you, Doc?
00:56:37 Well, if I did, it wouldn't hurt you.
00:56:40 I never did hurt any of you kids, did I?
00:56:42 No, you ain't done nothing but give us a lot of pills.
00:56:44 Yeah, my old man says that's all you can do.
00:56:47 Oh, is that so?
00:56:49 Well, your old man gets sick again.
00:56:50 See what happens.
00:56:51 I'll beat you up.
00:56:52 Oh, me.
00:56:54 Now, here.
00:56:55 Who's gonna be the first to volunteer?
00:56:57 I will, Baxter.
00:56:58 Oh, well, now, ain't that fine?
00:57:00 See what a brave little girl Ruthie is?
00:57:02 Come here now, honey.
00:57:03 Dr. Boole, do you mean to tell me that you're going to vaccinate her?
00:57:06 Oh, now, Miss Bates, now, don't worry.
00:57:08 Sit down now.
00:57:09 You're not gonna vaccinate my child.
00:57:10 She's sick.
00:57:11 Oh, she's not sick.
00:57:12 But, Dr. Boole, it's an unforgivable sin.
00:57:14 [arguing]
00:57:18 Now, that didn't hurt, did it?
00:57:21 No.
00:57:22 That's fine.
00:57:23 That's a brave little girl.
00:57:25 Now, who's the next one to take a chance?
00:57:26 I'll take a chance, Doc.
00:57:28 Oh, hello, Bruce.
00:57:30 How's the tonsils?
00:57:31 I ain't got any anymore.
00:57:33 No?
00:57:34 Well, who took them out?
00:57:35 You did.
00:57:36 Did I?
00:57:37 Well, this ain't gonna hurt you now.
00:57:39 Don't worry.
00:57:41 There you are.
00:57:42 Didn't hurt you, did Bruce?
00:57:43 No.
00:57:44 Who's the next lucky one?
00:57:45 Yeah.
00:57:50 Billy Watson, is it?
00:57:51 Yeah.
00:57:53 He was born on the 4th of July, wasn't he?
00:57:55 Yeah.
00:57:56 How did you know, Doc?
00:57:58 Of course, you spoiled my whole day.
00:58:01 That was the biggest celebration this town ever had.
00:58:03 I got there even after this firework was all over.
00:58:07 Well, as one of the selectmen of this town,
00:58:10 I'm here to protest against the inoculation of these children.
00:58:12 Well, I'm health officer.
00:58:13 I'm doing my duty.
00:58:14 Yeah, but you won't be health officer long,
00:58:16 I can assure you that.
00:58:17 No, I am yet.
00:58:18 This is over my protest.
00:58:20 But you're not inoculated, child of mine.
00:58:22 Bruce, come here.
00:58:25 OK, Pop.
00:58:26 Bruce, I hope that arm don't hurt you tomorrow.
00:58:36 [chatter]
00:58:38 Mr. Jones.
00:59:01 Ain't you heard, Miss Janet?
00:59:03 The folks are getting up some kind of a proceedings against us.
00:59:05 Against Dr. Boone?
00:59:06 That's what I heard.
00:59:07 You go along home and tend to the milking.
00:59:11 I'll be in later.
00:59:12 All right, Miss Janet.
00:59:13 Take that stuff I gave you.
00:59:19 Oh, yeah, the same old stuff you get--
00:59:21 always the same old stuff.
00:59:23 And everybody in town's talking about it.
00:59:25 And they say you're just an old pill doctor.
00:59:27 Oh, is that so?
00:59:28 Uh-huh.
00:59:29 And they say that you only know how to give one kind of medicine.
00:59:31 Only one kind of medicine?
00:59:32 Uh-huh.
00:59:33 Well, I know how to give two kinds of medicine.
00:59:35 Yeah?
00:59:36 Yeah.
00:59:37 I'm just twice as good a doctor as they think I am.
00:59:39 Oh.
00:59:40 Get your glass of water there.
00:59:41 Well, I want something different this time.
00:59:44 That's just exactly what you're going to get--
00:59:46 something different.
00:59:47 You're going to a meeting, Doc.
00:59:49 What meeting?
00:59:50 The meeting the Bannings are holding.
00:59:52 What are they holding a meeting about?
00:59:53 About you.
00:59:54 About me?
00:59:55 Uh-huh.
00:59:56 What about me?
00:59:57 Well, negligence of duty.
00:59:58 Oh, is that so?
00:59:59 Yeah, they don't think you're any good.
01:00:01 No?
01:00:02 They're going to kick you out.
01:00:03 Oh, they're going to kick me out, huh?
01:00:05 Is that so?
01:00:06 Yeah.
01:00:07 You take that.
01:00:08 I think you'll find that different from anything
01:00:09 you've ever had.
01:00:10 Thank you.
01:00:11 Kick me out.
01:00:12 I don't think you're such a terrible doctor, Doc.
01:00:13 The motion is that we recommend George Bull's removal
01:00:30 as helpful.
01:00:31 And ask that another doctor be procured on New Winter.
01:00:34 All in favor--
01:00:35 No, don't do that.
01:00:37 You haven't been recognized by the chair, Mr. Cardmaker.
01:00:40 Well, we'll recognize her.
01:00:41 Let's hear what she's got to say.
01:00:43 Yeah, that's right.
01:00:44 Let her talk.
01:00:45 Yeah, she's got as much right to talk as a lot
01:00:46 of other folks around here.
01:00:47 -True that. -You bet she has.
01:00:48 Go ahead.
01:00:49 At this very moment, while you're sitting here
01:00:50 blaming George Bull for negligence of duty,
01:00:52 keeping his head off, attending to your sick folks.
01:00:56 Does this town have an epidemic in it?
01:00:58 It's not George Bull's fault.
01:01:01 But my brother's, Herbert Benning's there.
01:01:03 I was Herbert Benning so anxious to rent his camp
01:01:06 back to the construction company.
01:01:08 Money, money.
01:01:09 As he and Snyder told George Bull,
01:01:12 they'd see that that camp was kept clean.
01:01:14 -Chet. -Chet.
01:01:15 -Chet. -But there's a certain group in this town
01:01:17 that's been intending for a long time
01:01:19 to get rid of George Bull because they think
01:01:21 he's old-fashioned.
01:01:22 And now is their chance, just because he
01:01:24 failed to inspect the reservoir.
01:01:27 All right.
01:01:28 Go ahead and whisper.
01:01:29 Go ahead and laugh.
01:01:30 He's been a good friend to me.
01:01:32 I'm not ashamed of it.
01:01:33 He's been a good friend to all of us.
01:01:35 But the reason he's not here now to defend himself is
01:01:38 that at this very moment, he's sitting
01:01:40 at Joe Tuffing's bedside, trying to give that poor boy
01:01:43 back a chance at happiness.
01:01:45 Trying, even though Bernie and everybody else said
01:01:47 there was no use trying.
01:01:48 [applause]
01:01:51 Order.
01:01:52 Order.
01:01:54 You ought to give him a chance.
01:01:56 He's no longer a young man.
01:01:58 Why, if you get the state board to take his license away
01:02:00 from him, there's nothing else he could do.
01:02:03 You'd ruin his life.
01:02:04 Well, he can always go back to doctoring cows.
01:02:07 [laughter]
01:02:10 Hey.
01:02:11 Hey.
01:02:12 Hey.
01:02:13 Now, wait a minute.
01:02:14 I need him to me.
01:02:16 Now, shut up.
01:02:17 You can't turn George Bull out.
01:02:20 Boy, he brought most of our children into the world.
01:02:23 He stood by us through thick and thin.
01:02:26 I move we adjourn.
01:02:28 And turn Bull out or not.
01:02:29 But he'll never doctor another one of my kids.
01:02:31 I move we recommend Dr. Hepburn's appointment
01:02:33 in Bull's place.
01:02:34 [cheering]
01:02:35 Yes.
01:02:36 Yes.
01:02:37 Yes.
01:02:38 [applause]
01:02:40 [interposing voices]
01:02:43 I'll give him a chance.
01:02:44 Go ahead.
01:02:45 Go ahead.
01:02:46 Go ahead.
01:02:47 What is all this dogfight about, anyhow?
01:02:49 The floor isn't yours, Dr. Bull.
01:02:51 You're out of order.
01:02:53 You shut up, Herring, or you'll be out of order.
01:02:55 There's a lot of you out of order.
01:02:57 We're tired of your goings on in this town.
01:02:59 It's a shame and a scandal in the community.
01:03:02 Where was your car last night?
01:03:04 [laughter]
01:03:05 [interposing voices]
01:03:08 My car was right where I wanted it to be.
01:03:10 Where I go or what I do is none of your business.
01:03:13 You keep your nose out of my affairs.
01:03:15 Can we knock somebody?
01:03:16 [interposing voices]
01:03:19 [interposing voices]
01:03:22 You throw me out when I get good and ready for you
01:03:25 to throw me out, you grinning baboons.
01:03:29 Now listen here.
01:03:30 If I was like a lot of scandal hound
01:03:32 that went around jabbering everything that I heard,
01:03:34 suppose I told all that I know around here.
01:03:37 Mr. Chairman.
01:03:38 Yes, and you.
01:03:39 I could talk for an hour on what I know about you, Mr. Upjohn.
01:03:42 I won't, but we carry on if it's a gesture of your defending.
01:03:45 Mrs. E.
01:03:46 I wouldn't say a word if I was you.
01:03:49 Oh, you are the last person to talk.
01:03:52 And that goes for a lot of us, what I know about lots of you.
01:03:55 And the difference is, what I know about you is the truth.
01:03:58 Now I could resign, but I'm not going to do it.
01:04:01 I'm going to give you the satisfaction of kicking me out.
01:04:04 And when you do kick me out, and anybody in the town
01:04:07 gets run over by an automobile or dies of old age,
01:04:11 you can't say that Dr. Bull did it.
01:04:13 [interposing voices]
01:04:15 He just don't give a--
01:04:17 [gunshots]
01:04:18 [shouting]
01:04:20 Mr. Chairman.
01:04:21 Mrs. Adams.
01:04:22 Ladies and gentlemen, I don't see that Dr. Bull's action here today
01:04:27 has anything to do with the case.
01:04:29 I move that we take a vote on the original motion.
01:04:33 I second the motion, Mrs. Adams.
01:04:35 All in favor, respond by saying aye.
01:04:37 Aye!
01:04:39 No?
01:04:40 No!
01:04:41 It's a vote.
01:04:42 The ayes have it.
01:04:43 Aye.
01:04:44 I move we adjourn.
01:04:45 I second it.
01:04:46 I second it.
01:04:47 You can't do that.
01:04:48 I've already done it.
01:04:49 We adjourn.
01:04:50 John, I never was so ashamed in my life.
01:04:52 You've disgraced us.
01:04:53 Leave me alone.
01:04:54 And I'm ashamed of you.
01:04:56 [chatter]
01:05:14 You must be almost dead.
01:05:18 No dogging in any case for her, miss.
01:05:22 Listen, John.
01:05:23 Maybe you better go on home after the change and Joe, I'll call you.
01:05:32 I don't like that fever.
01:05:35 It can only get him sweating.
01:05:39 That's fine.
01:05:40 Keep those as hot as you can.
01:05:45 I'll take a little rest here and then I'll do that.
01:05:49 You must have a nap.
01:05:53 Listen, there's a sign of a change.
01:05:56 You let me know right away, will you?
01:05:59 All right, Doc.
01:06:00 I'll be back in a minute.
01:06:29 It's Janet.
01:06:30 Oh.
01:06:31 Oh.
01:06:32 You have quite a gust, also, sweet.
01:06:36 I thought I'd ask you if you didn't want to come out of the house.
01:06:40 Maybe you could rest there.
01:06:42 I thought so myself.
01:06:44 No, I just-- I'm going to stay here.
01:06:48 I'm so sorry, George.
01:06:51 Those fools.
01:06:53 Oh.
01:06:54 It's all right.
01:06:56 I've been a doctor long enough, anyhow.
01:06:59 Now I can do some of the things I always wanted to do.
01:07:01 I can go hunting.
01:07:02 I can go fishing.
01:07:03 And look at that telephone line.
01:07:05 For 20 years, I've been every night listening to one of those things.
01:07:11 You know what I'm going to do?
01:07:13 I'm going to devote the rest of my life to being a telephone breaker.
01:07:17 Did you ever see those fellows could take 52 cards and tear them apart like that?
01:07:21 That's what I'm going to learn to do.
01:07:23 I'm going to break 52 telephones.
01:07:25 52 telephones at once.
01:07:26 Bust them up.
01:07:27 Oh, no, you're not.
01:07:28 You're going to spend all that energy fighting these people back.
01:07:31 No, I'm not.
01:07:32 I'm a rotten doctor, anyhow.
01:07:34 I never did do anything, only give them a lot of castor oil.
01:07:36 And they certainly ought to know enough by now to take it themselves.
01:07:39 George, you don't mean that.
01:07:42 As soon as I'm through with Joe, I'm going to take that medicine kit and throw it right in the river.
01:07:46 Yes, and you'll be fishing it out again the next day.
01:07:48 I won't be fishing it out any time.
01:07:50 You've spent your whole life among these people.
01:07:52 They're all you know.
01:07:55 Besides, you can't retire at your age.
01:07:59 You're just in the prime of life.
01:08:01 You've got to carry on.
01:08:03 You've got to fight back.
01:08:06 Doc, come in here quick.
01:08:12 His dad's is wet.
01:08:16 Say, his fever's gone.
01:08:18 Yeah, my clothes are as wet as water, Doc.
01:08:21 That's a good sign, Joe.
01:08:24 Let's see how the feet are.
01:08:33 Doc, you're dipping my feet.
01:08:36 What?
01:08:37 Sure, I can feel it.
01:08:38 Look, he won't just put it here.
01:08:39 Say, it's working.
01:08:41 It's working.
01:08:42 Oh, it's working.
01:08:43 It's working right in under there.
01:08:44 Come on, now, now, now, now, now, now.
01:08:45 Come on, hurry up.
01:08:46 Get some more water.
01:08:47 Don't get excited now.
01:08:48 Take it cool now.
01:08:49 Run and get some more hot water.
01:08:50 Lay down there.
01:08:51 We've got to keep you all heated up.
01:08:52 Here, here, put this right on the arm.
01:08:55 Here, lay back there now.
01:08:58 May, you got any whiskey?
01:09:00 Joe, you're surely not going to get him whiskey.
01:09:02 Oh, no, it's for me.
01:09:07 He's cured.
01:09:08 I'm going to get paralyzed now.
01:09:12 Hey, fellas, hey, fellas, come on out here.
01:09:22 Here's Doc Rollins.
01:09:23 Come on, come on.
01:09:27 Hey, hey.
01:09:28 Hey, got some news for you.
01:09:30 Hey, Joe's cured.
01:09:31 Who, Joe?
01:09:32 Joe, he's moving his legs.
01:09:35 Come on in and have a real drink.
01:09:37 Joe, I'm going up to get him and get some cider.
01:09:39 Get him out of there.
01:09:40 Get him out of that car.
01:09:42 [interposing voices]
01:09:59 Jean, I want to talk to you.
01:10:02 All right, Joe.
01:10:05 What did you do?
01:10:06 Did you lose your head completely?
01:10:08 Did you go and talk to those people like you did?
01:10:11 You know, I've caused you enough trouble around here.
01:10:14 And then to have you get up there and defend me
01:10:18 before all those folks.
01:10:20 Well, you just got yourself in worse.
01:10:23 Now they will talk about you.
01:10:25 George Bull, some men are born blind.
01:10:30 And you're one of them.
01:10:33 Oh, we've been-- I don't know.
01:10:35 We just seem to kind of hit it off here together.
01:10:38 We've been sitting here and talking and good friends.
01:10:41 But now that all this mess is stirred up,
01:10:45 I-- I can't even come up here anymore.
01:10:52 I'm telling you, I'm going to feel kind of lost.
01:10:58 I see what you mean.
01:11:02 All right.
01:11:03 You'd better hurry up and finish your drink
01:11:05 and go along home then.
01:11:08 Home?
01:11:09 Well, Jean, you-- as long as I've been coming up here,
01:11:13 you never told me to go home in your life.
01:11:15 We might take the jug with you too.
01:11:17 Then you won't be missing anything.
01:11:20 I don't want your old cider.
01:11:23 Think I've been coming up here just for that cider?
01:11:27 Jean, I never did tell you before.
01:11:31 I never did tell you because I-- well,
01:11:33 I didn't have the courage to tell you.
01:11:35 But darned old cider never was any good anyhow.
01:11:53 I don't-- I don't know whether I-- I want to go in there.
01:12:00 I-- I-- I--
01:12:23 Jean, you know I'm a whole lot better at doctors,
01:12:27 and cows, and folks.
01:12:30 But could you-- could you use an extra hand
01:12:34 in your dairy business?
01:12:41 Well, I might know where to be you.
01:12:44 Doc, I'm in trouble again.
01:12:48 What do you want?
01:12:51 He wants to get married.
01:12:53 Minnie, is-- are these your brothers?
01:12:55 Yes.
01:12:57 Yes, he wants to get married and mighty quick too.
01:13:01 No, I don't.
01:13:03 Yes, you do.
01:13:04 I'll fix you.
01:13:07 Hello.
01:13:08 Hello, Doris.
01:13:09 Get me the Reverend Wick, will you?
01:13:12 Oh.
01:13:13 Reverend Wick, Doc Bull.
01:13:14 I've got some marrying customers here for you.
01:13:17 You won't have to have your wife act as a witness for these.
01:13:22 They're bringing their own witnesses with them.
01:13:24 Yeah.
01:13:25 They've got two best men.
01:13:28 Doc, honest, you can't do it.
01:13:30 I'm in no condition to get married.
01:13:32 I'm not fit well.
01:13:34 And not only that, Doc, but my family's opposed to marriage.
01:13:38 Just say a word, Doc.
01:13:39 There hasn't been a marriage in my family for generations.
01:13:42 And you wouldn't want me marrying her with them hating me
01:13:45 like they do, would you, Doc?
01:13:47 Honest, I don't want to get married.
01:13:49 Come on, get out of here.
01:13:50 Come on.
01:13:51 Get out of here.
01:13:52 Don't think of it.
01:13:53 It's rather dangerous, aren't you?
01:13:54 Come on.
01:13:55 Tell him I'll pay for it.
01:13:56 Come on, get him out.
01:13:57 He loved Gran?
01:14:05 It sure is.
01:14:11 Here.
01:14:12 I thought you didn't like my cider, Dr. Boole.
01:14:14 Well, change my-- change my mind, Miss Jean.
01:14:24 Asif, if I were you, I'd marry her.
01:14:32 You'd marry her?
01:14:33 Yes.
01:14:34 I'd marry her.
01:14:35 You'd marry her?
01:14:36 Yes.
01:14:37 I'd marry her.
01:14:39 Asif, if I just had some house slippers now,
01:14:44 I'd be right at home.
01:14:45 I've been saving some for you, George.
01:14:52 Where'd you get those?
01:14:53 They were Charles Edwards'.
01:14:58 Charles Edwards.

01:15:41 Now, what do you expect?
01:15:42 Dollar's usual.
01:15:43 Have you read the morning paper as yet?
01:15:45 No.

01:15:47 Well, what's that been doing?
01:15:48 Why, medical circles are agon.

01:16:01 Stupid, that means--
01:16:02 What?
01:16:03 --you're famous.
01:16:04 Can't get famous just from marrying.
01:16:05 Oh.
01:16:06 What?
01:16:07 Goodbye, Janet.
01:16:08 Goodbye.
01:16:09 You're a woman who brought those flowers,
01:16:11 and you wouldn't own a man anyway.
01:16:13 [shouting]
01:16:15 Say goodbye to folks, Larry.
01:16:32 Goodbye, boys.
