00:00I walked right out of the house without my key
00:26Mr. B, you forgot your key, signed Hazel, P.S.
00:37Doorbell out of order Don't knock, can't hear in kitchen
00:49I come to back door, Hazel
01:20Gone to store, Missy at beauty parlor, Harold playing across street, be right back
01:27Just sit down and make yourself comfortable, Hazel
01:37Not this chair, wet paint, use other chair
01:47On second thought, don't bother to sit down because I'll be back by now
01:53Hi, Mr. B
01:55Hazel, what's the idea of all these notes around the house?
01:59Was you furious because you couldn't get in?
02:01No, I'm not furious, I haven't had time to be furious, I've been too busy reading notes
02:05Well, that was the idea
02:43Listen to this part of the review
02:53Not since the novel Goodbye, Mr. Chips has there been such a warm and tender story of the teaching profession
02:59Especially the first part, that's the best part, where the young teacher is in love with the girl and he hasn't got the nerve to ask her to marry him
03:07It's so romantic Hazel, I'm trying to read something
03:10Well, I was just giving you my opinion
03:12But you're not a critic, Hazel, your opinion is not what makes a book a best seller
03:16Well, my opinion is word of mouth, and word of mouth is what sells books, ain't it?
03:21Yes, it certainly is, but I bought these New York newspapers to find out what the top critics have to say
03:28By the way, when will Professor Webster get here?
03:31The telegram said late this afternoon
03:33Who's Professor Webster?
03:34Well, he's the man who wrote this novel at the New York newspapers and Hazel are reviewing
03:38Retired law professor, Harold, he taught your father when he was in school
03:42Gee, is he that old?
03:44Son, I'm not as old as I seem, I just got that way living with Hazel
03:48I think it's wonderful a man his age has a smash hit best seller like this
03:52Yes, and be sure our copy of it is lying on the coffee table when he gets here, make it very prominent, all authors like that
03:59We don't have a copy
04:01What do you mean we don't have a copy? I've read it, Dorothy's read it, you've read it
04:04I loaned our copy to Mrs. Johnson
04:06Oh, well borrow it back
04:09She borrowed it to take on a trip
04:13Here, here's five dollars, will you give this to Mrs. Baxter, buy a new one
04:19And thumb through of a lot, make it look like it's been well read
04:23All right darling, go ahead George, read the review
04:26Oh yes, well Hazel got me off the track with all that stuff about the first part being the best because it was so romantic
04:33Well it is, where the young teacher is in love with a girl and he's too shy to ask her and she marries somebody else
04:40Hazel, for your information, the last part is by far and away the best
04:44Where he writes so sympathetically about sensitive young students like myself
04:48George, just read it
04:52Not since the novel Goodbye Mr. Chips has there been such a warm and tender story of the teaching profession
04:58Especially the first part, which is filled with romance
05:18Morning George
05:19Morning Howard
05:20Oh, Howard
05:21Yeah
05:22You studied law under Professor Webster, didn't you?
05:25Yeah, my first year in law school
05:27I got a wire from him last night, he's arriving at my house this afternoon
05:30Hey, how about that book of his, it's a sensation
05:33I wonder how many lawyers in this town studied under him
05:36Why?
05:37Well I was just thinking, maybe I'll give him a little dinner party tonight and invite all his old students
05:42Oh, Hazel loves that man, she calls him egghead and it tickles the daylights out of him
05:49Hazel would fix a terrific dinner
05:51Count me in, I accept
05:53The trouble is, I don't know who studied under him
05:55Oh, I could call up the alumni association
05:57Would you do that for me?
05:58Of course
05:59Oh, great, then I can let Hazel know how many there'll be for dinner
06:02Well, you won't have any refusals
06:04Not with Hazel's cooking and a celebrity like that for a guest
06:07I'll call the alumni association
06:09Oh, Howard
06:10Yeah
06:11You know that character Bill of his in his story?
06:15The young student who gets off to such a bad start but ends up such a lovable hero
06:20He based that character on me
06:22Did Professor Webster tell you so?
06:24Well, no, but I remember so many of those things happening in school
06:29It was me
06:30George, I don't like to contradict you, but you're wrong
06:35It's me
06:48I got your bus ticket, Miss Morgan
06:50I got your bus ticket, Miss Morgan
06:52Oh, thank you, Marie
06:53Just put it there on the desk
06:54How long will you be in Philadelphia?
06:56Oh, it shouldn't take more than a day or two
06:58I just have to arrange some distribution contracts with the publishers
07:15Professor Webster sure is a fine looking man, ain't he?
07:18Oh, he'll be a lot more attractive to me if there's a copy of his book in this bookstore
07:22We've been all over this silly town looking for it
07:26Can I be of any assistance?
07:28Do you happen to have a copy of The Years of Youth?
07:31I'm afraid we're sold out, but we're expecting some more copies any moment
07:34Oh, how long is any moment?
07:36Well, there's a great possibility they'll be in later in the day
07:39Well, if we don't find it somewhere else, we'll come back
07:42Please do that
07:43You see, we have to have a copy for our coffee table because the author's coming to visit us
07:48Professor Webster taught Mrs. Baxter's husband in law school
07:51Oh, really?
07:52Yeah, and when they retired him, he didn't know what to do with himself
07:55So he used to go around visiting all his students
07:58And he'd come here every six months or so
08:00And then he'd go to court and watch Mr. B plead his cases
08:03And then when they'd come home for dinner, well, he'd tell them where he made all his mistakes
08:07Hazel, if you don't mind
08:09Naturally, you know, that didn't go down so well with a big lawyer like Mr. B
08:12Hazel!
08:13He got him interested in something else
08:15He got him interested in writing this book about himself
08:18And it's all true, the honest-to-goodness truth about the professor
08:21Except that he changed the name, you know, made it into a novel
08:26Certainly the most successful one in years
08:28Hazel, we haven't time to stand here now, come on!
08:31And it's a terrific story, especially the early part, you know, where he was young
08:35And he falls in love with this girl and he's too shy to ask her to marry him
08:38And then she marries the other fella
08:40Oh, that's a real three-bucket tearjerker
08:43You've got tears in your eyes, just talking about it
08:48Oh
08:51What's the matter with her?
08:53Well, things haven't exactly been easy for Mrs. Morgan since that book came out
08:58What do you mean?
08:59Well, I don't know that I ought to tell you
09:02Oh, then I gotta know, what is it?
09:04Well, I'm just putting two and two together
09:08I mean, I don't have any real proof
09:10But I believe that Mrs. Morgan was the girl in that book
09:15What?
09:17I mean, what?
09:25I've just been bursting to ask someone who knew him
09:27Ask him what?
09:29You said Professor Webster visited your house
09:31Yeah
09:32Well, did you ever hear him call the bookstore here, ask for some book that was out of print?
09:36Oh, well, come to think of it, every time he comes to the house, he calls some bookstore
09:40Well, about every six months, some man calls here and asks for Mrs. Morgan
09:44That's it, that's the name, Mrs. Morgan
09:47Well, he never identifies himself
09:50He just asks for some book that's out of print
09:52Or else a book that doesn't even exist
09:54It's as though he wants to just make conversation
09:57So he can hear the sound of her voice
09:59That's even more romantic than the book
10:02She never let on that she knew who it was
10:04But she knew, I could tell
10:06And it wasn't until I read the book that I started putting two and two together
10:10Well, what about her husband? What about Mr. Morgan?
10:13He died about ten years ago
10:15At first I wasn't sure, but now that I've talked to you, I'm positive it's the professor who keeps calling
10:23Imagine
10:30I came across this one day
10:35Oh, what is it?
10:37A corsage of pressed violets and a dance card
10:40And every dance is given to someone named Jeremy
10:49Jeremy?
10:51Every dance except the last one
10:53Oh, that's where Mr. Morgan borned in, huh?
10:56Well, that's where something happened
10:58Marie?
11:00Yes, Mrs. Morgan?
11:01Could you give me a hand with these books?
11:03I'll be right there
11:04Excuse me
11:34I thought you'd feel that way about it
11:44George, I talked to the alumni association secretary
11:47Good
11:48Sorry to be so long, but I've got a list of all the men in town who studied law under Professor Webster
11:53All?
11:54A hundred and forty
11:56A hundred and forty?
11:58After all, he taught for a long time
12:01After all, he taught for a long time
12:03Well, I can't give a dinner party for a hundred and forty people
12:06Not unless you put a couple of leaves on the table
12:08Hazel would kill me
12:09And if they brought their wives, that would mean two hundred and eighty people
12:12Oh, not necessarily
12:13Maybe some of the men are woman haters
12:15Oh, it's out of the question
12:16Forget the whole thing
12:17Well, I was sort of counting on one of those fabulous dinners of Hazel's
12:21Oh, forget it, the whole thing's off
12:27Yes?
12:28Thank you
12:29Jeff Lewis, city attorney
12:32Hi, Jeff, what can I do for you?
12:35Oh, well, uh
12:37Well, I had been thinking about it
12:40Oh, no, no, no, no
12:41Nothing is definitely set
12:44Look, Jeff, can I call you back in a few minutes?
12:47Good
12:48What's the matter?
12:50I didn't know he studied under Professor Webster
12:53It seems he called the alumni association to find out when the professor would be in town
12:57And they told him something about my giving this dinner party for the old students
13:01Why didn't you tell him it was off?
13:03Are you kidding?
13:04The city attorney?
13:05I do a lot of business with him
13:06If he ever found out he was cut off from a dinner party
13:09Well, just enjoyed him
13:11And me
13:12Well, he's already told a lot of the others
13:14Oh, brother, Hazel won't kill me, she'll murder me
13:20Hazel, you did it
13:22Oh, didn't I?
13:23The way you said it
13:24You see it
13:25Look
13:26There's the corsage and there's the dance program
13:29Oh, isn't that beautiful?
13:31Yeah, don't it give you a heart attack?
13:33Yeah, that evening must have meant a great deal to her
13:35Oh, it still does
13:36Otherwise she wouldn't be keeping that in her desk all this time
13:40Look, every dance went to Jeremy
13:42Except the last one and that was for Jack Morgan
13:44That's the man she married
13:46Hazel, maybe that's why she kept it
13:48Maybe that's the night that Mr. Morgan proposed
13:51Oh, no
13:52The professor said in his book that he gave the girl a corsage of violets
13:56And there it is
13:57Well, I don't know what you're up to, Hazel
13:59But whatever it is, it's wrong to take something that doesn't belong to you
14:02Oh, I'll put it back again before she even misses it
14:06Hey, George
14:07Just talked to Judge Murphy
14:08Seems he studied law under Professor Webster, too
14:11Boy, word about that dinner is sure circulating through the courthouse
14:14Now, now, now, wait just a minute
14:15Let's be sensible
14:16My house isn't big enough for a thing like this
14:18Let alone Hazel
14:19She has a big heart, but she has a big temper, too
14:22What are you going to do, rent the armory?
14:24I've been thinking
14:26The country club has a room that accommodates 75 people
14:29There's 140 in the list
14:30I know, I know
14:31But I don't think we could round up more than 75 on such short notice
14:34Well, it is pretty short notice
14:36I'd say 50, maybe 60
14:38All right, let's say 60
14:40Now, suppose we make it a stag dinner
14:42Just the old students, no wives
14:44Why no women? I like women
14:46Because women eat, that's why
14:49We can get the club at a nominal figure
14:52And I can keep the dinner down at $5 apiece or less
14:55Well, let's say $5
14:565 times 60
14:59That's $300
15:01That's not bad, is it?
15:03That means the evening will only cost us $150 apiece
15:06Wait a minute
15:07Wait a minute
15:08What's this cost us, mister?
15:10Well, naturally, I assumed you'd want the privilege of joining me in this
15:14What's so natural about me digging into my pocket for $150?
15:17It's a tribute to a wonderful man
15:19Well, that wonderful man flunked me my first semester
15:22If he hadn't taught us what he did, we wouldn't be where we are today
15:25What he gave us can't be measured in money
15:28You pay for the dinner and I'll contribute some of that other stuff
15:31Tell you what I'll do
15:32I'll contribute a speech
15:37There's a taxi outside, maybe it's the professor
15:40It is
15:42I'd better get rid of this
15:48Hello, Professor
15:49Dorothy, my dear, how are you?
15:51Oh, it's so wonderful to see you, come on
15:53You know, the only reason I believe here is because you always kiss me when I come back
15:57Congratulations on your book, it's a tremendous success
16:00Oh, I never would have written it if it hadn't been for George
16:03He kept insisting and urging me to write my story
16:06However, I am well aware of the fact that the only reason he did it
16:09is to keep my nose out of his lobby
16:12Well, Professor
16:14Hazel
16:15Professor Webster
16:16Ah, Hazel, you know better than that
16:18I'm not Professor Webster to you
16:20It's me, Egghead
16:22What you need, Professor, is a good hot bath
16:25Hazel
16:26Well, I wasn't being personal, Missy, but you know he's been traveling
16:29She's quite right, a hot bath would be a splendid restorative
16:32Well, then let's get you upstairs
16:34If you have no objection, I'd like to make a phone call first
16:37Well, of course
16:38I'd like to call the bookstore
16:40There's a rare and out of print book I'm trying to locate
16:46Just a moment
16:48Mrs. Morgan, it's for you
16:50Oh? Who is it?
16:52He didn't say
16:53It's that man who calls about every six months
17:03This is Mrs. Morgan
17:05I'm sorry to disturb you
17:07but I thought it would be better if I spoke with a proprietor
17:10Oh, that's quite all right
17:13I'm very happy if I can be of any assistance
17:16I was wondering if you had a copy of Aristotle's Theories of the Universe
17:20by Dr. Huffmanstein
17:22translated from German by Dr. Bruno
17:25Well, I'm very sorry, I don't think we have it
17:28I believe it's out of print
17:30I was afraid it might be
17:32but I thought your store being near the university
17:36this might have a copy
17:43Do you have any suggestions to where I might find it?
17:46No, I don't
17:48I wish I could say yes
17:50I wish very much I could say yes
17:53but I really don't
17:55Well, there are several other books I would like to inquire about
17:58that is, if I'm not taking up too much of your time
18:01Not at all
18:04Do you have a copy of Plato's Dialogues
18:08translated by
18:12Hello?
18:18Hello?
18:21Hello?
18:37Here we are
18:39No, I don't think...
18:41You loved her, didn't you?
18:42Yes, but...
18:43And you admitted that you goofed the night of the dance, didn't you?
18:46I didn't use the word goof, I said I should have proposed
18:49And if you didn't mean something to her
18:51she wouldn't have kept that corsage on her desk all these years, would she?
18:54Psychologically speaking, perhaps it does augur well as a...
18:56Now listen, let me give you a little advice, professor
18:59Women don't like them big words
19:01They like little words, like I love you
19:03Here, stick out your tongue
19:08Now
19:09I'm ready to leave now, Marie
19:10Will you please call me a taxi?
19:11Oh, certainly, Mrs. Morgan
19:12If anything should come up, you know where to reach me in Philadelphia
19:15I'll be...
19:26Hello, Celeste
19:27Hello, Jeremy
19:33You have a very nice bookstore
19:35I'm glad you like it
19:38Congratulations on your very successful novel
19:41It's really not a novel
19:43It's the story of my life
19:45I've never considered it too successful
19:49I've changed since you last saw me, haven't I?
19:52Oh, no
19:53I've seen you often
19:55I've passed here on the other side of the street
19:58I know
20:00I saw you
20:02I was just leaving for the bus station on a business trip
20:05Oh, ain't that a coincidence?
20:06The professor was just leaving, too
20:09Yeah, as a matter of fact, he's got his bags all packed at our house
20:12Haven't you, professor?
20:13Really?
20:14Where are you going?
20:15Where are you going?
20:17To Philadelphia
20:18What do you know about that?
20:20A coincidence like that wouldn't happen once in a million years
20:23That's where the professor's going
20:25Oh, good grief, we were in such a rush, we forgot your bag
20:28I'll go back to the house and get it
20:30It won't take me a minute
20:32Yes
20:34Yes
20:35Thank you very much
20:36I appreciate it, thank you
20:38Hi, George, how's it coming?
20:39Well, I just talked to the club
20:40And due to the fact that I helped raise the money to build it in the first place
20:43They're gonna let me have the room for $100
20:45Well, I just talked to Judge Murphy
20:46He wants to bring his wife
20:48No wives, just a stag dinner
20:50He says it's his wedding anniversary
20:51If he can't bring his wife, he won't come
20:53Then he'll just have to stay away
20:55George
20:56Do you realize how many court cases you try in front of him every year?
21:00Now look, if he brings his wife, I'll have to invite all the other wives
21:04Now, he's not the only judge on this list
21:06That's right, there's Judge Hancock
21:08You've got a case under his advisement right now
21:10And then there's Judge Rafferty
21:12Now look, will you just let me figure this out?
21:14Now be quiet
21:17Instead of 60 people, there'll be 120
21:20Five, that's five from zero, five from zero
21:23Well, that's $600 plus $100 for the room
21:26And the club room won't be big enough
21:28You'll have to hire the hotel banquet room
21:30Well, how much does that cost?
21:32I saw this coming, so I called to find out
21:35Well, all right, how much does it cost?
21:37I'll write it down for you
21:38You don't have to write it down
21:39All I want to know is how much does it cost?
21:41I prefer to write it
21:54What?
22:02What?
22:32What?
22:37Bye-bye
22:41George
22:42Hello, darling, I've been trying to reach you all day
22:44I was out for a while
22:45Oh, I've got to hardly wait for you to get home
22:47Hi, Howard
22:48Hi, Dorothy
22:49George, the most wonderful thing has happened
22:50Well, this seems to be a day for good and wonderful things to happen
22:52Hazel has done the most beautiful thing in the world
22:55That's our girl, Hazel
22:57Did you know the girl in Professor Webster's book?
22:59Well, she's a woman now, of course
23:00And she owns a bookstore here in town
23:02Professor Webster has been in love with her all his life
23:05And Hazel brought them together
23:06Oh?
23:07And thanks to Hazel, they just left town on a bus for Philadelphia
23:13George!
23:14George!
23:23Well, I'm sure it isn't anything too serious
23:25I can't get his breath
23:26Something seems to be constricting him
23:28It's probably his bank account
23:29Hi, everybody
23:30Hazel, you're fi...
23:32That's how sick I am
23:33I can't even say fire
23:34Come on downstairs, the professor's there
23:36Come on, everybody
23:45Dorothy, George
23:47This is Mrs. Morgan
23:48She ain't gonna be Mrs. Morgan long, though, are you?
23:51No, I'm gonna be Mrs. Jeremy Webster
23:54Hazel was driving us to the bus station
23:56And she picked the roughest road in town
23:57Nothing but holes and bumps
23:58And it finally shook a proposal out of him
24:01And after he proposed, there wasn't any reason to go to Philadelphia
24:05Oh, I'm so happy for both of you
24:08Oh, thank you, thank you
24:09I tell you what, Mr. B
24:10Why don't we throw him a dinner party?
24:12Well, Hazel, I was thinking about the same thing
24:15We could have it at the Essex Hotel
24:17And have a lot of champagne and flowers
24:19Oh, I'll take care of everything, Mr. B
