Spider Baby (1968)
Transcript
00:00:00And the next day...
00:00:09...dreams and homes and bats and bones and teenage monsters and haunted homes...
00:00:14...a ghost on the stair, a vampire's bite, but beware, there's a full moon tonight!
00:00:30Animal spiders creep and crawl, boys and ghouls having a ball...
00:00:40...Frankenstein, Dracula, and even the mummy are sure to end up in somebody's tummy!
00:01:00Take a fresh boat, some toadstools and weeds, and add an old owl and the young ones she breeds...
00:01:06...mix in seven legs from an eight-legged beast, and then you're all set for a cannibal feast!
00:01:14Sit round a fire with this cup of brew, a fiend and a werewolf on each side of you...
00:01:33...this cannibal orgy is strange to behold, and the maddest story ever told!
00:01:45The Mary Syndrome
00:01:57The Mary Syndrome, so called because its only known occurrence is among the descendants of one Ebenezer Mary...
00:02:04...a progressive age regression beginning about the tenth year and continuing steadily throughout the victim's lifetime.
00:02:11It is believed that eventually the victim of the Mary Syndrome may even regress beyond the pre-natal level...
00:02:19...reverting to a pre-human condition of savagery and cannibalism.
00:02:25Many authorities do not accept the existence of the Mary Syndrome.
00:02:32Incredible, but true. Nevertheless, I know only too well.
00:02:42Of course, there's no Mary Syndrome anymore.
00:02:46It was extinguished forever from the human race that fateful day, ten years ago.
00:03:32Can you tell me where the Mary house is? Outside the Mary house!
00:03:42If there is any such place, we don't know anything about it.
00:04:01The Mary House
00:04:31The Mary House
00:05:01The Mary House
00:05:31The Mary House
00:06:01The Mary House
00:06:31The Mary House
00:06:55Anybody home?
00:06:58Anybody home?
00:07:01Please say yes, somebody's home.
00:07:21Hello in there.
00:07:28Hello?
00:07:36Hello?
00:07:40I caught you!
00:07:44I caught you! I caught a big fat bug right in my spider web!
00:07:57And now the spider gets to give the bug a big stink!
00:08:20Virginia!
00:08:22Virginia, are you crazy?
00:08:24Now look what you've done.
00:08:26You're bad, bad!
00:08:29Bruno's going to hate you!
00:09:24Bruno!
00:09:55Bruno!
00:10:09Elizabeth!
00:10:11Virginia!
00:10:20Elizabeth!
00:10:22Virginia!
00:10:25Elizabeth!
00:10:35Elizabeth!
00:10:38Bruno, Virginia hurt somebody real bad.
00:10:42You ought to hate her.
00:10:44Elizabeth, how many times have I told you it's not nice to hate?
00:10:53Oh.
00:10:57Oh.
00:10:59Don't, don't.
00:11:07One time I hit the ball.
00:11:11And now this.
00:11:16Elizabeth, I trusted you, I left you in charge.
00:11:20It's not my fault, I didn't do it.
00:11:23She did it, she was playing spider.
00:11:26You should hate her.
00:11:28No, I left you in charge.
00:11:32Virginia!
00:11:34Virginia, you come here right now!
00:11:38Ralph!
00:11:44Ralph!
00:11:47Ralph!
00:11:50Ralph!
00:11:53Ralph, we're home now.
00:11:56Ralph!
00:11:58Ralph, we're home now.
00:12:01Ralph!
00:12:14Ralph!
00:12:16Ralph!
00:12:20Ralph!
00:12:43Virginia, now you stay right there.
00:12:46Sit down.
00:12:48Sit down.
00:12:50You too, Elizabeth.
00:12:58Now children, I want to tell you something and I want you to listen very, very carefully.
00:13:06You remember last time when those two children climbed over the wall
00:13:12and Virginia almost caught them in her spider web?
00:13:16Well, that got people to wondering about us.
00:13:20And that's bad.
00:13:22Your daddy wouldn't like that, Virginia.
00:13:25Now, I can't be here all the time.
00:13:29You know that I have to take Ralph into the city to the doctor once in a while.
00:13:35And Virginia, you were supposed to mind your sister.
00:13:38You were not supposed to play spider anymore.
00:13:43Now, you never, never can play spider again.
00:13:47Oh, Ralph.
00:13:49What have you got there?
00:13:51Something that man had.
00:13:53Ralph, give it to me.
00:13:55That's it.
00:13:57Thank you, Ralph.
00:14:03This is from a lawyer.
00:14:10A lawyer?
00:14:11What is it, little girl?
00:14:13Something bad, isn't it?
00:14:16How many times do I have to tell you,
00:14:18just because something isn't good doesn't mean it's bad?
00:14:21Well, isn't it bad?
00:14:23Must be something very bad.
00:14:27Nothing is very bad.
00:14:30It isn't?
00:14:35He's going to come here and bring other people.
00:14:39Daddy wouldn't like that.
00:14:41What other people?
00:14:44They want to make,
00:14:47they want to become your legal guardians.
00:14:52As the only other known surviving heirs
00:14:58of the estate of Titus W. Mary.
00:15:02Isn't that Daddy?
00:15:06On the 14th of...
00:15:13Today's the 14th?
00:15:17Oh, now, children,
00:15:19we've got to keep some secrets today.
00:15:35Huh?
00:16:05Oh, no.
00:16:35What do you want that for?
00:17:04Hurry up, I want to watch Uncle Ned.
00:17:07You're not supposed to.
00:17:12Hey, look out!
00:17:17I'm coming, Uncle Ned.
00:17:35I'm coming, Aunt Clare.
00:17:38Aunt Martha.
00:17:40I'm coming, Uncle Ned.
00:18:05Really, Emily, I mean, I wish you'd kind of...
00:18:08Peter, if you don't like my driving,
00:18:10you may feel free to take a trolley.
00:18:12Now, wait just a minute.
00:18:13This was not my idea.
00:18:15I've never heard of the Mary family.
00:18:17What is that?
00:18:18They're our cousins, darling.
00:18:20It behooves us to meet them.
00:18:22All right.
00:18:23I mean, you know, all right.
00:18:25But remember that it was not my idea, okay?
00:18:28Of course not, darling.
00:18:30You don't have ideas.
00:18:32You don't have ideas, baby Peter brother.
00:18:52What in the world makes you think this is the right road?
00:18:55It's got to be.
00:19:03Ha! There, you see?
00:19:17So...
00:19:19this...
00:19:21is it.
00:19:24I don't see any sign of, uh, what's-his-name?
00:19:27Uh, the lawyer.
00:19:29Obviously, he hasn't arrived as yet.
00:19:32The caretaker here probably went to meet him
00:19:34in a horse and buggy.
00:19:51Might as well go on up.
00:19:53They'll be along any minute.
00:19:54Why don't we, uh...
00:19:56What's the matter, Peter?
00:19:58Chicken?
00:19:59Well, I just don't think it's, you know,
00:20:01just right to go barging in on somebody
00:20:03that you're about to sue.
00:20:05Just remember, we're trying to avoid that expense,
00:20:08if possible.
00:20:10Well...
00:20:12I'll leave that up to you.
00:20:26Oh!
00:20:56Oh!
00:21:26Oh!
00:21:44What happened? You saw a ghost, right?
00:21:46Don't be funny!
00:21:47There was a...
00:21:48There was an awful...
00:21:50a...
00:21:52a baboon!
00:21:54A complete double-duck fit!
00:22:24Knock, knock, knock.
00:22:34Knock, knock, knock.
00:22:44Uh, Mr. Stalker,
00:22:46I think it means that you opened the door for me.
00:22:49Hmm.
00:22:51Yes.
00:22:55What's going on here? Why have we stopped?
00:22:58They're blasting up ahead, sir.
00:23:00They're what?
00:23:04Blasting, sir, for the new highway.
00:23:07Oh.
00:23:08Better wait it out, I suppose.
00:23:10Yes, sir. They won't be long, sir,
00:23:12Mr. Schalker.
00:23:14The name is Schlocker, Mr. Bruno.
00:23:17Oh, please, sir.
00:23:19Bruno. Just plain Bruno, sir.
00:23:22Oh, very well, Bruno.
00:23:24Uh, I want to tell you I appreciate your cooperation in this matter.
00:23:29I wasn't expecting it, frankly.
00:23:33Cooperation, sir?
00:23:35Well, yes, uh,
00:23:37to tell you the truth, uh,
00:23:39I was fully prepared to avail myself of the services of a marshal,
00:23:42should it be necessary.
00:23:44Well, thanks to your cooperation, it isn't, sir.
00:23:47I appreciate that,
00:23:49and I'll do my best to see that you're not forgotten.
00:23:52Forgotten, sir? I...
00:23:54I don't quite understand.
00:23:56Well, in the disposition of the estate,
00:24:00I firmly believe that so many years of faithful service
00:24:04should not go unrewarded, no matter how ill-advised.
00:24:08Thank you, sir.
00:24:10Now, Bruno, I'd like to ask a few questions,
00:24:13if you don't mind.
00:24:15Very well, sir. Go ahead, sir.
00:24:18Now, it is my understanding
00:24:21that for the past several years,
00:24:23you have been the sole, uh, custodian
00:24:26of the three children of the late Titus W. Mary.
00:24:29Is that correct?
00:24:31As you say, sir, for some many years.
00:24:34And that these same three children
00:24:36have, uh, never been allowed the benefits
00:24:39of any sort of formal schooling?
00:24:41Oh, no, sir.
00:24:43The master wouldn't have allowed that.
00:24:45And professional medical care?
00:24:47On the contrary, sir.
00:24:49I assure you there have been regular and frequent visits.
00:24:52You mean they're not well?
00:24:54Well, uh, as well as could be expected, sir.
00:24:58You see, they're not, uh, ordinary children.
00:25:02Well, I'm sure we can all agree to that, Bruno, but nevertheless...
00:25:06You see, they're, uh...
00:25:08Well, you might call them retarded.
00:25:10Retarded? Well, I should think so.
00:25:12Nearly full-grown and never a day of school.
00:25:15Walter, I-I don't think you understand, Mr. Shocker.
00:25:19I'm afraid you don't understand, my dear fellow.
00:25:22There are properly qualified institutions
00:25:24for the care of the, uh, the deprived.
00:25:28Especially when there are substantial estates to be administered.
00:25:32Uh, frankly, I find the whole affair rather shocking.
00:25:36I may add there are proper judicial remedies for such abuses.
00:25:46I don't think the master would like this.
00:25:50Come on, buddy, let's get this car out of here.
00:25:54Yes, sir.
00:25:57Ah, my dear Mr. Shocker, so nice to see you here.
00:26:01I'm sorry to have to trouble you with such a thing.
00:26:06I'm afraid I can't come in.
00:26:10I'm sorry to have to trouble you with such a thing.
00:26:14I'm sorry to have to trouble you with such a thing.
00:26:18I'd better go.
00:26:20You'd better get going.
00:26:23So nice to see you here.
00:26:26And the young Mr. Howe.
00:26:28Hi, Schlocker, how are you?
00:26:29Good to see you, my boy.
00:26:30Fee, this is my secretary, Miss Morris.
00:26:33Hi, Miss Morris.
00:26:34How do you do?
00:26:35Hi.
00:26:36Forget the rest of it, Schlocker.
00:26:38Let's go in and take a look at the place.
00:26:41Oh, yes.
00:26:42I've been away from the children too long already.
00:26:45You just follow me and I'll show you where to park your machine.
00:26:50But if I may ask a favor, please.
00:26:53Please treat the children tactfully.
00:26:56You see, they're not accustomed to strangers and they might act wild if encouraged.
00:27:08Now, ladies, this is your auntie Emily and your uncle Peter.
00:27:13Elizabeth.
00:27:14And Virginia.
00:27:17Two pretty names for two such pretty young ladies.
00:27:20This is Miss...
00:27:21Anne.
00:27:22Anne.
00:27:24Ralph, where's Ralph?
00:27:26Ralph.
00:27:27Ralph!
00:27:28Virginia.
00:27:32Ralph!
00:27:33Ralph!
00:27:37Ralph!
00:27:38Ralph!
00:27:39Ralph!
00:27:46Ralph!
00:27:53Oh, he's all right, Emily.
00:27:55He's just a big kid.
00:27:57Yes, it's like you say, sir.
00:27:59He's just a big kid.
00:28:04Now, see here, Bruno.
00:28:06You don't seem to realize just how serious all this is.
00:28:10Now, these children are obviously in need of qualified professional care, wouldn't you say?
00:28:19Well, there's a great deal in what you say, sir.
00:28:22But I gave their father a solemn oath that I'd never allow their unfortunate malady to become the object of public scrutiny.
00:28:31Nonsense.
00:28:32The days when we hid our insane behind walls of shame went out with that old car of yours.
00:28:39You're talking about us, Virginia.
00:28:42I know.
00:28:43But Mr. Shocker, an oath to a dying man, that can't be taken lightly.
00:28:48Now, Bruno, what do you mean by malady?
00:28:52I mean, well, I've seen backward kids.
00:28:55Well, no, it's more than a retardation.
00:28:59It's sort of a regression, a progressive deterioration of the mental faculties, a rotting of the brain, so to speak.
00:29:08It begins in late childhood and progresses rapidly, ultimately resulting in physical deformity, rather like the last stages of paresis.
00:29:22Really that bad?
00:29:24Yes, sir.
00:29:25The Mary family, or at least this branch of them, have been afflicted for generations.
00:29:32And I'm sorry to say, sir, I think this is the last generation.
00:29:37What a shame.
00:29:39Bruno, you mean all three of these?
00:29:42Yes, sir.
00:29:44The unfortunate result of inbreeding.
00:29:49Never mind that now, Bruno.
00:29:51We can go into all that at the proper time.
00:29:54Let's see.
00:29:55Yes.
00:29:56I would like to know the whereabouts of certain other members of the Mary family.
00:30:00The two sisters of Titus W. Mary and brother named, I believe, Nedrick Mary, if alive.
00:30:10Alive?
00:30:12Well, you might say so, sir.
00:30:15Come on, Bruno, don't beat around the bush.
00:30:18Are they around or not?
00:30:20They're talking about Uncle Ned.
00:30:22I know.
00:30:24Well, it became necessary to put them in a more private sort of an institution.
00:30:31My good man, are you saying that you, that the family chauffeur has been in sole charge of this entire estate and these minor children?
00:30:43Oh, I never thought of it that way, sir.
00:30:46You see, I promised the master that...
00:30:48Yeah, yeah, yeah, we know all about that.
00:30:50Listen, Schlocker, it's been a long trip.
00:30:52I'd like to get cleaned up and get off my feet for a while.
00:30:55We can go through this after dinner.
00:30:58Dinner?
00:30:59Yes, sir.
00:31:00It is dinner time.
00:31:01Matter of fact, Bruno, we intend to spend the night.
00:31:04Oh, no, sir.
00:31:05That's quite impossible.
00:31:07Why, we're not prepared for guests.
00:31:10There seems to be a difference of opinion as to who is the guest and who the host here.
00:31:19You do have food in the house, don't you?
00:31:22Why, yes.
00:31:24You see, our diet is very austere.
00:31:28I suppose we could find something.
00:31:32Yes.
00:31:33Yes, I suppose we could.
00:31:36Uh-huh.
00:31:39I smell a bug.
00:31:48A big, black, juicy...
00:32:08I'm proud of you, Virginia.
00:32:34You're doing so well.
00:32:38Ralph, it's ready, Bruno.
00:32:41Oh, thank you, Elizabeth.
00:32:43Bring him right down.
00:32:49My dear, there's no doubt in my mind that we have here an absolutely clear-cut, prima facie open-and-shut case.
00:32:56Great.
00:32:57Now, all I want to know is, what does it worth in dollars and cents?
00:33:01Well, that's a little difficult to tell at this juncture.
00:33:05Perhaps with an audit, Miss Morse, give me Schedule B.
00:33:09All right here, Mr. Schlatter.
00:33:11Of course, this is only the visible part of the iceberg, so to speak.
00:33:15With more information, we can project the curve.
00:33:18Hey.
00:33:20Hi, Ralph.
00:33:21Emily, look at Ralph.
00:33:23He's getting all dressed up for it.
00:33:26Oh, yes, isn't he cute?
00:33:36Ladies and gentlemen, dinner is served.
00:33:41Well, at last.
00:33:43Thank you, Virginia.
00:33:45That was very good, Virginia.
00:33:48Can I feed Bonifred now?
00:33:50Whatever.
00:33:51Oh, no, no, not now.
00:33:53Can't she wait?
00:33:54She's got to eat.
00:33:56She's got to eat.
00:33:59In that case, you go right ahead.
00:34:01But hurry up.
00:34:02Hurry up.
00:34:03I will.
00:34:04I will.
00:34:08Hungry, Miss Morse?
00:34:10Oh, yes.
00:34:11I'm famished.
00:34:13Shall we, then?
00:34:15Well, there we are.
00:34:17Just sit wherever you like.
00:34:19Oh, yes.
00:34:20I'm famished.
00:34:21Shall we, then?
00:34:23Well, there we are.
00:34:25Just sit wherever you like.
00:34:27Oh, we're not very formal here at Mary House.
00:34:31We haven't had guests in a long time.
00:34:34No, it's been a long, long time.
00:34:38I might add that it's a great pleasure.
00:34:44You can sit down now, Ralph.
00:34:58Winifred.
00:35:00Winifred.
00:35:16Barney, you came back.
00:35:20Naughty Winifred.
00:35:23Barney, you came back.
00:35:26Naughty Winifred.
00:35:28You didn't tell me.
00:35:30Virginia, we're waiting for you.
00:35:48Sit in your chair, Virginia, please.
00:35:53Sit in your chair.
00:35:59Voila!
00:36:04What is that?
00:36:08Well, that's rabbit.
00:36:10Obviously.
00:36:12Not bad, Bruno.
00:36:14Looks done to a turn.
00:36:16Thank you, sir.
00:36:17I hope you enjoy it.
00:36:19You know, we're very fortunate to have meat for our guests.
00:36:22Actually, we're vegetarians.
00:36:25Vegetarians?
00:36:26It's dead.
00:36:27We don't eat dead things.
00:36:31Good Lord, man.
00:36:32Why on earth?
00:36:33The master.
00:36:34Don't say it.
00:36:35You made a promise.
00:36:37It was no idle whim, I assure you.
00:36:40The master knew of the grave danger.
00:36:42The danger?
00:36:44Yes, Bruno.
00:36:45What is that supposed to mean?
00:36:47Well, the master believed, and he should know,
00:36:50that meat and flesh would hasten the progress of their condition.
00:36:54Now, I've heard everything.
00:36:56Wait a minute, Bruno.
00:36:57Now, you mean like that old story about the lion cub,
00:36:59who's actually tame until he gets his first taste of fresh meat, right?
00:37:03I'm afraid it's even more serious than that, sir.
00:37:09Well, whatever that is, rabbit or whatever,
00:37:17I pass.
00:37:18Well, it looks good to me.
00:37:20Hey, I'll carve.
00:37:23Thank you, sir.
00:37:24Carry on.
00:37:26Oh, and I must tell you all,
00:37:28you have Ralph here to thank for providing us.
00:37:31Is that right?
00:37:32Good for you, Ralph.
00:37:36I'll have something else.
00:37:44Thank you.
00:37:46What are these?
00:37:47Ah, a rare treat.
00:37:49Our favorite dish.
00:37:50We call it souffled fungi.
00:37:54What?
00:37:55Mushroom, schlocker.
00:37:57Oh, mushrooms.
00:37:59Yes, a real staple.
00:38:01They grow profusely on the ground.
00:38:04And did Ralph...
00:38:07Oh, no, no.
00:38:09Virginia provided these.
00:38:10You see, she has an uncanny knack
00:38:12for picking only the non-poisonous one.
00:38:19Come on, schlocker.
00:38:20Let's not hog this stuff.
00:38:25There you go.
00:38:30Thank you, Uncle Peter.
00:38:34Thank you, Uncle Peter.
00:38:36Hey, schlocker.
00:38:37I certainly can't say they're not polite.
00:38:46Oh, Miss Howe,
00:38:48if you don't feel up to the heavy affair,
00:38:50perhaps you'd like to try some of our fresh garden greens?
00:38:53Yeah, I might.
00:38:54Here, try the salad.
00:39:02Allow me.
00:39:07This thing isn't dressed.
00:39:17Isn't Ralph a vegetarian, too?
00:39:19Oh, yes.
00:39:20But Ralph's allowed to eat anything that he catches.
00:39:41Emily, this is very good.
00:39:43You don't know what you're missing.
00:39:46As I told you, our diet is very austere.
00:39:49But it's most healthy.
00:39:51You know, that's great.
00:39:52I think everybody ought to eat like that.
00:39:54Oh, we have our delicacies, too.
00:39:56But they're not in season right now.
00:40:03Oh, no, no, sir.
00:40:05You wouldn't want any of that.
00:40:10Oh, no.
00:40:11I guess not.
00:40:27What do you think about spending the night now, Emily?
00:40:31You couldn't drag me away, Peter.
00:40:34Good show, my dear.
00:40:36I'm with you.
00:40:37Oh, it's like I told you, sir.
00:40:39Well, there's nothing more to say, Bruno.
00:40:41Now, let's make things easy on yourself.
00:40:44We want to be fair.
00:40:47The sisters can move in together, and you and Ralph.
00:40:51Well, we might do that.
00:40:55Oh, no, no.
00:40:56It's quite impossible.
00:40:57It's too dangerous.
00:40:58You see, this is an old building.
00:41:02The wood is rotten.
00:41:04You'd have to know your way about in the dark.
00:41:07Nonsense.
00:41:08The next thing you'll tell us, it's haunted.
00:41:10Oh, no, nothing like that.
00:41:13He means they're vampires.
00:41:15Oh, yes, and werewolves.
00:41:18Are you a horror film fan, Miss Morse?
00:41:20Oh, yes, I love it.
00:41:21Dracula, Frankenstein.
00:41:23And the mummy?
00:41:24Oh, the mummy.
00:41:25I love the mummy.
00:41:27The way he walks.
00:41:28Step, scrape.
00:41:30Step, scrape.
00:41:32Oh, and the wolfman.
00:41:36There's going to be a full moon tonight.
00:41:40Uh, Mr. Schlocker, I mean, if you don't need me anymore tonight, I could just as well
00:42:09stay in down at...
00:42:10There's an inn in the village.
00:42:12Um, as I see it, there are only two rooms anyway.
00:42:16Peter, if you took the car, do you think you could find lodgings for Miss Morse?
00:42:20Yeah, I saw a motel coming in, yeah.
00:42:23Fine, fine.
00:42:24Good idea.
00:42:26Just be sure you have her back on time, young man.
00:42:29Busy day ahead, you know.
00:42:30Don't worry.
00:42:31Thank you, Mr. Howe.
00:42:33Very welcome.
00:42:36Children, some of our guests are going to stay the night.
00:42:39Would you come help me prepare the rooms?
00:42:42Yes, Bruno.
00:42:47Spider!
00:42:52Got it.
00:42:54I hate spiders.
00:42:58We have lots of spiders.
00:43:04Do you like spiders, Mr. Howe?
00:43:06Oh, sure, Virginia.
00:43:08I love spiders.
00:43:10Do you?
00:43:11Would you like to play spider with me?
00:43:13Virginia.
00:43:14Sure.
00:43:15I'll play spider with you.
00:43:17Maybe tomorrow.
00:43:19I'm sorry, Mr. Howe, that we couldn't accommodate everyone.
00:43:22But I'll be looking forward to seeing you tomorrow.
00:43:24Hey, me too, Bruno.
00:43:26Thank you very much.
00:43:30Good night, kids.
00:43:32Uh, well, Miss Morris, we should be getting our dessert.
00:43:35I'd like that very much, Mr. Howe.
00:43:45Hey.
00:43:49This is the phoniest setup I've ever seen.
00:43:57There is something terribly wrong here.
00:44:00And I intend to find out exactly what it is.
00:44:08There we go.
00:44:13Say, it's still early, Miss Morris.
00:44:15Perhaps you'd like to have a drink at that inn in the village that Bruno mentioned?
00:44:20I'd like that very much, Mr. Howe.
00:44:22No, no, maybe a sandwich, if you don't mind.
00:44:40Virginia.
00:44:43Virginia.
00:44:48Are you going to give Daddy good night?
00:44:50Mm-hmm.
00:44:51Elizabeth, are you scared?
00:44:55Scared of what?
00:44:57You know, those people.
00:45:01I hate them.
00:45:03You're not supposed to hate.
00:45:05You should, too.
00:45:07They don't like spiders.
00:45:09I know.
00:45:13That little man looks just like a big, fat bug, doesn't he?
00:45:20Yes, he does.
00:45:26You know what I'd like to do?
00:45:32Do really lots of fun things, spider.
00:45:35Virginia.
00:45:37You bet.
00:45:51Coming to tuck you in, Daddy.
00:46:00Nighty-night, Daddy.
00:46:30Nighty-night.
00:46:50Nighty-night.
00:47:10Nighty-night.
00:47:30Nighty-night.
00:47:50Nighty-night.
00:48:10Nighty-night.
00:48:30Nighty-night.
00:48:50Nighty-night.
00:49:10Nighty-night.
00:49:30Nighty-night.
00:49:50Nighty-night.
00:50:10Nighty-night.
00:50:30Nighty-night.
00:50:50Nighty-night.
00:51:10Nighty-night.
00:51:20Nighty-night.
00:51:30Nighty-night.
00:51:40Nighty-night.
00:52:00Nighty-night.
00:52:20Nighty-night.
00:52:30Nighty-night.
00:52:40Nighty-night.
00:53:00Nighty-night.
00:53:20Nighty-night.
00:53:40Nighty-night.
00:53:50Nighty-night.
00:54:00Nighty-night.
00:54:20Nighty-night.
00:54:40Nighty-night.
00:55:00Nighty-night.
00:55:20Nighty-night.
00:55:41This has gone quite far enough, ladies.
00:55:48Beyond the bounds of prudence and good taste.
00:55:59I don't know what you people are up to here, but...
00:56:05I'm going to have to call in the authorities.
00:56:08Now, there are laws.
00:56:13Criminal laws, I...
00:56:16Kill him! Kill him!
00:56:19No, this isn't right. There are proper procedures.
00:56:23Oh! The social remedies!
00:56:26These things can be litigated!
00:56:28Kill him!
00:56:37Kill him!
00:57:07Kill him!
00:57:38And now we can put him right back in his old bed, and Bruno will never even have to know...
00:57:44Please don't hate me! I didn't mean to do it!
00:57:47She made me do it! She made me do it, Bruno!
00:57:52Well, he was spying on us.
00:57:55Well, he was going to tell.
00:57:57He was going to tell on us, Bruno.
00:58:01Yes, Elizabeth.
00:58:04Now, don't you worry, Virginia.
00:58:07I'm not going to hate you.
00:58:12I knew this was coming someday.
00:58:16But it's so soon.
00:58:19And you really and truly don't hate me?
00:58:24I promised your daddy I'd never do it again.
00:58:27You did?
00:58:29You ought to hate him.
00:58:31Elizabeth, I told you, it isn't nice to hate.
00:58:37Children, I've got something I want to tell you, and I...
00:58:41I want you to listen very, very carefully.
00:58:49I want you to listen very, very carefully.
00:58:53A long, long time ago, I...
00:58:56I promised your daddy that I'd take care of you and Ralph forever and ever.
00:59:04And then came this Mr. Schlocker, and he was a nasty, mean man.
00:59:13He wanted to take you away where old Bruno would never see you again.
00:59:18But...
00:59:21you hurt Mr. Schlocker, and he can't do that now.
00:59:28But soon, there'll be more Mr. Schlockers,
00:59:31and they'll be nastier and meaner than he was, and...
00:59:36you won't be able to hurt all them because...
00:59:41there'll be more of them.
00:59:43You won't be able to hurt all them because...
00:59:47there'll be too many of them.
00:59:50They can't take me away from you, Bruno.
00:59:53They can't make me go away.
00:59:57You won't let them, will you, Bruno?
01:00:01I promised your daddy I wouldn't.
01:00:04I knew you wouldn't, Bruno.
01:00:07I'm not afraid.
01:00:10Well...
01:00:12we didn't have much time, anyway.
01:00:15Pretty soon, Ralph, he'll be...
01:00:18ready to join Uncle Ned and Aunt Clara.
01:00:24And then you...
01:00:26We want to stay here forever and ever, Bruno.
01:00:29With you and Ralph and Uncle Ned.
01:00:36We will.
01:00:40I promise.
01:00:41Forever and ever. We will.
01:00:44You know...
01:00:46I know where there's a nice new toy...
01:00:50that'll do a wonderful thing.
01:00:53A toy?
01:00:55Yes.
01:00:56And you can stay up late just to see it.
01:00:59Can we?
01:01:00Uh-huh.
01:01:02Now, I have to go a little ways to get it.
01:01:06But it'll only take me a little while.
01:01:08Please don't go away, Bruno.
01:01:11I'm scared.
01:01:12It won't take but a few minutes.
01:01:15And I'll be back.
01:01:16Now...
01:01:18Elizabeth...
01:01:20I expect you to take care...
01:01:22of your brother and sister and see that they don't get in any trouble.
01:01:26Will you do that?
01:01:28I will, Bruno.
01:01:38Ed...
01:01:47Oh...
01:01:48You've got to hurt me.
01:02:09Ralph!
01:02:21Schlocker!
01:02:23Schlocker!
01:02:24Schlocker!
01:02:26Schlocker!
01:02:30Schlocker!
01:02:36Chateau!
01:02:38Chateau!
01:02:48Catch her! Catch her!
01:02:49Don't let her get away!
01:02:57Help!
01:02:58Catch her!
01:03:08Help!
01:03:39Woof, woof, woof!
01:03:48Aunt Emily!
01:03:52Aunt Emily!
01:03:55Let's go!
01:04:09Woof, woof, woof!
01:04:15Woof, woof, woof!
01:04:20Aunt Emily!
01:04:25There she goes!
01:04:26Get her! Get her!
01:04:28Get her!
01:04:52Hey, Liz!
01:04:54Hey...
01:04:56Are you really a wolf fan, a wolf man fan, Ann?
01:05:02Oh, yes.
01:05:03I think that's how every man should be.
01:05:05Like a wild beast.
01:05:16No vacancy again.
01:05:18That's the last one, Ann.
01:05:20That's the last one, Ann.
01:05:22There isn't another town for 50 miles.
01:05:25I guess we shouldn't have spent all that time at the village inn.
01:05:29I didn't realize how late it was getting.
01:05:31You lose count, they keep taking away the glasses.
01:05:34What was that?
01:05:35I know, but I remember exactly how many.
01:05:39Listen, there's nothing we can do except go back and spend the night with Emily and Schlocker.
01:05:51Woof, woof, woof!
01:05:58Got it.
01:05:59Got it, all right.
01:06:21Shh...
01:06:23Shh...
01:06:33Shh...
01:06:35Shh...
01:06:49Spiders aren't supposed to eat other spiders.
01:06:53Cannibal spiders do.
01:07:06Bruno! Bruno!
01:07:09He doesn't sound like Bruno.
01:07:11Oh, no, it's Uncle Peter and that pretty lady.
01:07:14They've come back.
01:07:16Virginia, you mustn't hurt anyone else.
01:07:19Bruno will really hate you.
01:07:21He will not.
01:07:23Anyway, I like you.
01:07:25I like you.
01:07:27I like you.
01:07:29I like you.
01:07:31I like you.
01:07:33He will not.
01:07:35Anyway, I like Uncle Peter.
01:07:37He's not like that bad man.
01:07:39All the same, they'll tell on us.
01:07:41Would they?
01:07:44Would they tell?
01:07:46Of course they'll tell.
01:07:48Bruno said there'd be others, didn't he?
01:07:52They're coming while we do.
01:07:57We'll have to make a plan.
01:08:04Somebody's up and about.
01:08:06Good.
01:08:07I hope it's not that Ralph.
01:08:09Oh, Ralph's just a big kid.
01:08:11Do you really think so?
01:08:13Sure.
01:08:34Help!
01:08:39Hi, kid.
01:08:41Uh, hey, it looks as if Miss Morserau
01:08:43is going to have to spend the night here after all.
01:08:46No room at the inn, as they say.
01:08:48Good evening, Uncle Peter.
01:08:53Uh-huh.
01:08:58Uh, is Mr. Bruno about?
01:09:00No, no, he's away.
01:09:03Won't you come in?
01:09:05Yes, do come in.
01:09:08Huh?
01:09:10How about Aunt Emily? Is she around?
01:09:12Shh.
01:09:17Oh, shh.
01:09:19Shh.
01:09:21There's really no need to disturb anyone.
01:09:24All righty.
01:09:26When does Mr. Bruno get back?
01:09:28He'll be along by and by.
01:09:30Now, Uncle Peter, you just make yourself right at home.
01:09:34Uh, Virginia, dear,
01:09:37you may entertain Uncle Peter
01:09:39while I take care of the pretty lady.
01:09:42Uh...
01:09:44Uh, it's all right.
01:09:47It's all right.
01:09:49I'm sure Elizabeth knows what to do.
01:09:53Well, if you really think so.
01:09:56Listen, Emily is very easy to get along with
01:09:59when she's asleep.
01:10:00Uh, well, that won't be necessary.
01:10:03Anne will have Daddy's room.
01:10:06It's really very nice.
01:10:09There you go. See?
01:10:11Thank you, Elizabeth.
01:10:13You're really very kind.
01:10:18Well, good night.
01:10:21Good night.
01:10:23See you in the morning?
01:10:26It's awfully nice.
01:10:28This way, pretty lady.
01:10:35I'm glad you came back.
01:10:38I like you.
01:10:45I like you, too.
01:10:56You're a nice lady.
01:10:58I liked you right away.
01:11:00You're not like those others.
01:11:02Well, Virginia likes you, too.
01:11:04And Ralph?
01:11:05We all like you.
01:11:07And Uncle Peter, too.
01:11:14You'd never tell,
01:11:16no matter what Bruno says.
01:11:21You'd never tell.
01:11:23I know you wouldn't.
01:11:26I like you, pretty lady.
01:11:29Pretty lady.
01:11:50Pretty lady.
01:12:07And the big black spider
01:12:09goes round and round
01:12:11and wraps the bug all up in her spiderweb.
01:12:16Virginia, what happens
01:12:19when the spider gets the bug all wrapped up in a web?
01:12:23Ah-ha. I won't tell.
01:12:26Ah, all right.
01:12:29How long's it take to play this game?
01:12:31Oh, we're almost done.
01:12:33All right.
01:12:35All right.
01:12:37There now.
01:12:44Virginia?
01:12:50Hey, what's the spider...
01:12:52What's the spider do now?
01:12:54What?
01:12:55Oh, yes.
01:12:56Um, now the spider does
01:12:59a little dance for the bug.
01:13:02She has to tease it
01:13:05too much
01:13:07and make it work
01:13:09so that its juice will taste better.
01:13:15Virginia, I think we'd better play a game.
01:13:19Uncle Peter,
01:13:21do you like that pretty lady?
01:13:24Yes. Yes, I do.
01:13:37Do you like me?
01:13:41Me?
01:13:46When does Mr. Bruno come back?
01:13:49Bruno won't hate me. He promised.
01:13:54Spiders like bugs.
01:13:58They taste good.
01:14:05But I guess bugs don't like spiders very much.
01:14:08I like spiders.
01:14:10I like spiders.
01:14:12I do, too.
01:14:14Well...
01:14:19I guess I have to sting you now.
01:14:21You have to what?
01:14:30Uh, Virginia, what about Mr. Schlocker?
01:14:32Mr. Schlocker?
01:14:34Hey, Schlocker!
01:14:36Sting!
01:14:41Well, I have to go away for a minute.
01:14:49But I'll be right back.
01:14:53Don't go away, bug.
01:15:05What are we going to do with her?
01:15:07Ralph can't let go.
01:15:09I...
01:15:14What do you mean, what are we going to do with her?
01:15:17Don't you know? You made this plan.
01:15:19But I didn't have enough time to finish it.
01:15:23She wiggles just like a big squiggly bug in a spider web.
01:15:35Uncle Ned could make her quiet.
01:15:38No, Bruno would be very mad.
01:15:41Anyway, Ralph likes her, see?
01:15:45We mustn't hurt her.
01:15:48Just make her quiet.
01:15:55Now, a spider is very clever.
01:16:00She very cleverly...
01:16:04drains the vital juices from the bug's body.
01:16:11And that makes the bug stop squiggling.
01:16:16Would that make her stop squiggling?
01:16:23Help me find something sharp.
01:16:33Help me find something sharp.
01:17:04Ralph.
01:17:09Ralph.
01:17:12Ralph.
01:17:16Hold her.
01:17:17See, all I did was make a little teeny scratch.
01:17:20How much did we let run out?
01:17:23Just enough to make her quiet.
01:17:25Then Ralph can play with her better.
01:17:33Ralph.
01:17:52Ralph.
01:17:54Emily.
01:17:58Ralph.
01:18:00No, no, Emily, I'm in here.
01:18:02Who you been?
01:18:03Grab her and say, give me a hand.
01:18:05That little fiend tied me up.
01:18:21I'm coming, hold on.
01:18:32I'm coming.
01:19:02Ralph.
01:19:32Ralph.
01:19:50Children.
01:19:57That lady hurt Ralph.
01:19:59Ralph will be all well.
01:20:01Very soon.
01:20:04I brought that wonderful surprise I promised you.
01:20:13Larry C., Larry C., what is it?
01:20:19This is a secret surprise.
01:20:32Come on.
01:20:51Oh, sir.
01:20:53I don't know how you got yourself into this predicament,
01:20:56but I suggest that you leave the premises as quickly as possible.
01:21:00Where's Ann?
01:21:02Ann, where's Ann?
01:21:07Ralph.
01:21:15If I were you, I'd hurry, sir.
01:21:17I'm hurrying, I'm hurrying.
01:21:21What's it going to do, Bruno?
01:21:23Well, it's going to make a big flash and go bang.
01:21:29Oh, boy.
01:21:37Lookie.
01:21:40Uncle Ned.
01:21:42What's that?
01:21:44Lookie.
01:21:47Uncle Ned.
