00:00Here, you're on your own.
00:01I wish you wouldn't keep saying that.
00:03I guess I'll get my stuff.
00:06The curtains look soiled.
00:08We can't start them at the top, Irma.
00:10This will give him more incentive to do something so we can afford a better place.
00:14But look, just a bed and one chair.
00:17Well, that's still one more thing than he ever used at home.
00:26I love my mom and dad and my brothers too.
00:29And the groovy way we get along.
00:33Every time the slightest little thing goes wrong,
00:35Mom starts to sing this familiar song.
00:39Wait till your father gets...
00:41Until your father gets...
00:42Wait till your father gets home.
00:45Dad's not so bad and he seldom gets mad.
00:48And we aren't about to desert him.
00:51Kids today like to have their own way.
00:54And what daddy doesn't know won't hurt him.
00:57I think my mom's just swell.
00:59But she starts to yell.
01:01Every time we have a fight.
01:03Just wait till your father gets...
01:05Until your father gets...
01:07Wait till your father gets home.
01:09You see what I mean?
01:11Wait till your father gets home.
01:13We know.
01:29Here he is, Pop. I found him.
01:31Huh? What?
01:33Pop's looking for you. He's gonna take us bowling.
01:35Yeah, you wanna go?
01:37Count me out. Friday night's my big night.
01:39I don't want to waste at bowling.
01:41What are you gonna do?
01:43Gee, I'm doing it.
01:45Come on, Chet.
01:47You're gonna get it, you're gonna get it.
01:49You're gonna get it, you're gonna get it.
01:51You're gonna get it, you're gonna get it.
01:53You're gonna get it, you're gonna get it.
01:55You're gonna get it, you're gonna get it.
01:57Come on, Chet.
01:59Go with us.
02:01You shouldn't just lie around all the time.
02:03But my favorite program's on TV.
02:05The set isn't even ours.
02:07Yeah, I know.
02:09Would you mind flicking the switch on the way out?
02:11Gee, Pop, I've already missed ten minutes of it.
02:21Hey, only nine more and you got a spare.
02:23Boy, you sure are a positive thinker.
02:27Don't tell me.
02:29Is that Harry Boyle?
02:31Couldn't be. Harry had hair.
02:33Well, for crying out loud.
02:35Sam and Louise.
02:37How long has it been?
02:39Fifteen years at least.
02:41Say, how are the boys?
02:43Great. Mike's doing well in med school
02:45and Brian just passed the bar.
02:47Top of his class.
02:49How's your family?
02:51Well, uh, Jamie here's in fourth grade.
02:53And Armie's fine.
02:55And Alice will be entering college next year.
02:57You forgot Chet.
02:59Oh, yes, Chet.
03:01Wasn't he studying nuclear physics?
03:03No, that was the Poindexter boy, dear.
03:05Chet's the politician.
03:07Don't you remember?
03:09Harry was always saying Chet was going to be president
03:11or nothing.
03:13Oh, right, I was.
03:15By the way things go,
03:17we were sure lucky to have such fine kids.
03:19You never know how they're going to turn out this day and age.
03:21We could have ended up with a creep like that.
03:25Hiya, Pop.
03:27I decided to come down after all.
03:31Gee, Pop,
03:33what made you sick?
03:35Um, let's just forget it.
03:37I'm glad you came down.
03:39Chet, do you remember the Redfern boys?
03:41Well, Mike's in med school and Brian just passed his bar exam.
03:43Hey, out of sight. A bartender.
03:45You look sick again, Pop.
03:47But don't you miss college?
03:49I mean, don't you miss Balzac and Thoreau
03:51and Toynbee?
03:53They're all around my group.
03:55What about going to junior college?
03:57Pop, I'm still trying to find myself.
03:59I mean, I need time to put it all together.
04:01I can't worry about today.
04:03I gotta think about tomorrow.
04:05Today's youth is tomorrow's leader.
04:13It's the affluent society.
04:15And we don't mean to, but we give everything to our kids.
04:17There's no challenge.
04:19They have no ambition.
04:21I'm sure he has a good brain, dear.
04:23Well, it ought to be good.
04:25It's got very low mileage on it.
04:27Don't worry.
04:29He'll find himself.
04:31Anybody seen my jeans?
04:33Find himself?
04:35He can't even find his pants.
04:37You know, Irma, I hate to say this,
04:39but maybe it's time to get him out on his own.
04:41Chet? On his own?
04:43Well, he's 22.
04:45You want to kick him out?
04:47No, no, not kick him out.
04:49Just sort of gently shove.
04:51Honey, it's our duty.
04:53We owe it to him for his own good.
04:55But who will feed him and do his laundry
04:57and tuck him in at night?
04:59Tuck him in?
05:01That's the whole point.
05:03He has got to learn to stand on his own two feet.
05:05Around here, he can't even lie down unassisted.
05:09You're kicking me out!
05:11No, no, it's not that at all.
05:13Now look, you know how you've been saying
05:15you haven't been able to find yourself.
05:17Well, Mom and I finally realize
05:19the reason you haven't been able to
05:21is that we've been standing in your way.
05:23It's been our fault.
05:25It has?
05:27Absolutely.
05:29Why, we've been making far too many demands on your time.
05:31Asking you to put out the trash
05:33and bring in the paper
05:35and get up in the morning.
05:37It just hasn't been fair to you.
05:39Do you understand what I'm saying?
05:41Yeah. You're kicking me out!
05:43Look at it this way, son.
05:45Don't you like to have your own, uh, pad?
05:47My own pad?
05:49That's right.
05:51Some little place where you can...
05:53Hey, yeah! With a view and a big fireplace
05:55and chicks splashing around in the pool?
05:57Well, not exactly.
05:59And a tennis court, parties every night, a waterbed?
06:01You realize, of course, that you'd have to pay for it.
06:03Pay for it?
06:05Well, I'd help you at first until you got started.
06:07Then you could take over after you find work.
06:09Work?
06:11Hi, what's doing?
06:13You want me to move out?
06:15I'm sure you'll feel differently when you hear
06:17what my own brother and sister think of an idea like that.
06:19Oh, boy! Do you have his room?
06:21I've always wanted that desk.
06:23I get his comic books.
06:25I'll take his lamp.
06:27Careful! You're getting my rug dirty.
06:29Now, that'll do. Outside, you two.
06:31I want to talk to Chet.
06:33Yeah, Pop, maybe I should move out.
06:35Then they'd appreciate me.
06:37But how do I find a place?
06:39I'll tell you what, son.
06:41I'll tell you what, son.
06:43Okay?
06:45Well, okay.
06:47It won't be fancy, but I'll make sure it has good lighting, good heating.
06:49Well, that doesn't matter.
06:51Just so it has good acoustics.
06:57Harry, this is the place you picked?
06:59It's just fine.
07:01It's only one short block from the market and the movie.
07:03What a good that does me.
07:05I don't have any money for gas.
07:07And also, no pets, no pot, no broads, and no booze.
07:09Yes, ma'am.
07:11And remember to open the window when you turn on the gas heater.
07:13And I want my rent a week in advance.
07:15Why?
07:17Because sometimes people don't remember to open the window
07:19before they turn on the gas heater.
07:21I'm not sure this place will do, Harry.
07:23I looked in the kitchen drawers.
07:25There aren't any dessert spoons.
07:27You'll be fine.
07:29What'll I do all day?
07:31Anything you want. You're on your own.
07:33Do your thing.
07:35What's that? I don't know what my thing is.
07:37You can do anything you want, son.
07:39Whatever you feel is right for your life.
07:41We won't interfere. You're on your own.
07:43I wish you wouldn't keep saying that.
07:45I guess I'll get my stuff.
07:49The curtains look soiled.
07:51We can't start them at the top, Irma.
07:53This will give him more incentive to do something
07:55so we can afford a better place.
07:57But look, just a bed and one chair.
07:59Well, that's still one more thing
08:01than he ever used at home.
08:07Here, Julius. Here, boy.
08:09Got a new job for you.
08:11Since Chet's gone, from now on,
08:13you can bring him the paper.
08:15See? Paper. Pick it up.
08:19Good boy.
08:21Oh, hi, Ralph.
08:23Do you feel it?
08:25Feel what?
08:27There's something missing.
08:29Something's changed in the neighborhood.
08:31It's so quiet, so calm, like Normandy before D-Day.
08:33Anonymous silence is creeping over us.
08:35Oh, yeah. Chet's gone.
08:37Took his stereo with him.
08:39Oh, that's it.
08:41Chaplain McQueek thought it was the dawn of Judgment Day.
08:43Yes, the boy finally decided
08:45the time had come to go out in the world on his own.
08:47Threw him out, huh?
08:49It wasn't exactly like that.
08:51I guess you'll miss having him around.
08:53Of course. But still,
08:55it kind of makes you wonder.
08:57Here's a boy with three years of college,
08:59yet as far as all the help he was around here,
09:01he's easily replaced by a highly untrained dog.
09:05Hi.
09:07Hi, sweetheart.
09:09Oh, it's you.
09:11Never mind who I am.
09:13Who's sweetheart?
09:15Sorry, dear. I just thought Chet might drop by.
09:17He hasn't called or written.
09:19Not a word from him.
09:21Nothing.
09:23He only left yesterday.
09:25Well, I'm worried.
09:27I hope he slept all right.
09:29That's one thing you don't have to worry about.
09:31Chet!
09:33Are you all right, dear?
09:35Do you feel well?
09:37Oh, you look so thin.
09:39Don't worry, Mom. I can take care of myself.
09:41Hiya, Pop. Put her there.
09:43Hi, son. How's it going?
09:45Great. You were right.
09:47I dig this being on my own.
09:49You do?
09:51Sure. Independence. You can't beat it.
09:53I'm a new man. Got a whole new outlook on life.
09:55Thanks to you, Pop.
09:57Hey, I'll be right back.
09:59I'm going to get my encyclopedias.
10:01And he wants his encyclopedias.
10:03He's studying.
10:05Lighting the lamp of knowledge.
10:07Well, this should do it.
10:09The bulb burned out in the bathroom ceiling.
10:11I need something to stand on.
10:13Looks like that lamp of knowledge is just a hundred watt bulb.
10:15Well, I better get back.
10:17Oh, that's for you, Mom.
10:19For me? Oh, Chet.
10:21You shouldn't have.
10:25Your laundry.
10:27You're bringing it home for your mother to do?
10:29Gee, I thought you'd be pleased.
10:31I picked it up off the floor
10:33and tied it all up by myself.
10:37Well, we can't expect too much at first.
10:39At least he's getting his own meals.
10:41That's right.
10:43And would you call the children?
10:45We're having pot roast tonight.
10:49Oh, boy. Pot roast. I'll get washed up.
10:59What's all this?
11:01Well, Mom said I could borrow anything I wanted.
11:03Including two quarts of milk,
11:05a loaf of bread and a whole ham?
11:07Gee, Pop, how can I be on my own
11:09if I'm over here sponging meals all the time?
11:21Jamie, will you turn that down?
11:23Hi, Pop.
11:25I thought you had a place of your own.
11:27I do, but it doesn't have TV.
11:29How did you miss taking that?
11:31Oh, don't bug me, Pop.
11:33I'm bushed from my work.
11:35You got work?
11:37Yeah, at the bank.
11:39That's wonderful. What bank?
11:41The blood bank. It's a great job.
11:43All you have to do is lie down.
11:45I mended your shirts and I'll get your shoes
11:47half sold in the morning.
11:49And here's some tapioca pudding
11:51and some batteries for your radio.
11:53I'll pick up your cleaning tomorrow,
11:55but your tennis racket won't be restrung until Tuesday.
11:57And I...
11:59Whoa, whoa, hold it, hold it!
12:01You call this being independent?
12:03What you've got is cross-town room service.
12:05What's for dinner?
12:07No more dinners. You've got to stand on your own two feet.
12:09With holes in my shoes and no blood?
12:11Now look, Chet,
12:13this is for your own good.
12:15I love you and your mother loves you,
12:17but you can't hang around here anymore.
12:19We'll get no more errands done for you,
12:21no more free dinners, no more free gasoline,
12:23and no more phoning us collect.
12:25That's love?
12:29Pot roast is delicious.
12:31We haven't heard from him for a week.
12:33Believe me, Chet's okay.
12:35He's probably just pouty.
12:37May I have some more water?
12:39I'll get it. Anything you want.
12:41Just don't throw me out in the street.
12:43They found a body in the lake,
12:45but they couldn't identify it.
12:47And you too.
12:49Can't we just phone to see if he's all right?
12:51Irma, the whole idea is to leave him alone.
12:53Here's your water, sir.
12:55Maybe he's in a hospital someplace.
12:59Okay, I give up.
13:01You can phone him.
13:05Oh, dear.
13:07His phone has been disconnected.
13:09Disconnected?
13:11Maybe he took the phone cord and...
13:13Maybe he took the phone cord and...
13:23There's no light in his room.
13:25Maybe he hasn't changed his light bulb.
13:33Chet?
13:37It's open.
13:39Chet?
13:43Well, he's been here.
13:45Where is he?
13:47What happened to him, Harry?
13:49Where are his things?
13:51What's the trouble?
13:53It's my son! He's gone! Gone!
13:55I told him to open the window
13:57when he used the heater.
13:59No, no, it looks like he moved out.
14:01And when did you see him last?
14:03Two, three days ago.
14:05He invited himself to dinner,
14:07ate all my food, and borrowed five bucks.
14:09Well, at least he's acting normally.
14:11Did he even leave a note for us?
14:13He can write.
14:17I think we should go to the police.
14:19Irma, he's a strong, healthy kid.
14:21Now have some faith in him.
14:23Well, good night, Harry.
14:25Good night, dear.
14:27Don't you worry.
14:29Believe me, I'm not worried.
14:41Can I hawk my father's picture?
14:45What was it, son?
14:47Gambling? Women? Booze?
14:49My father.
14:51He wanted me to go to work
14:53before I found myself.
14:57No work, no job!
15:12And then after I stole the breadcrumbs, father,
15:15I ate the pigeons.
15:17And then I ate the bench and the tree.
15:19I know, my boy.
15:21It was a 10-0-4.
15:23Do you have any last requests, lad?
15:25Yes, sir.
15:27Tell my pop I forgive him.
15:29And I want him to have my guitar.
15:37What was the name of the missing person, please?
15:39Chester Boyle.
15:41My baby!
15:43Don't worry, ma'am. He won't go far.
15:45That's what everybody says.
15:47But we want him back anyway.
15:49Most of the youngsters wander into the park,
15:51so we'll check all the swings and teeter-totters.
15:53We'll find little Chester for you.
15:55Little Chester is 22.
15:5722?
15:59Then he's an adult and he can take care of himself, can't he?
16:01Well, let me put it this way.
16:03It's probably better if you went ahead
16:05and checked the swings and the teeter-totters.
16:07It's gonna be all right, dear.
16:09At least now we know Chet isn't in trouble
16:11with the police or in a hospital or anything like that.
16:13Well, I suppose
16:15no news is good news.
16:17Got my lunch, Mom?
16:19Here you go, Jamie.
16:21Oh, I meant to tell you,
16:23when you were out yesterday, Chet phoned.
16:25I hope this isn't liverwurst again.
16:27He phoned? Jamie, come back here!
16:29How is he? Is he all right? Where is he?
16:31And what about his laundry?
16:33I don't know. I didn't pay much attention.
16:35I was watching TV.
16:37Don't you even know where he is?
16:39Yeah, he moved. I wrote it down someplace.
16:41Here it is.
16:43312 something road.
16:45Something?
16:47Gee, Pop, I wrote it with a liquor stick.
16:49312, uh, Skid Road.
16:51Skid Road?
16:53Sky Road. That's it.
16:55Well, where's Sky Road?
16:57I don't know, but we'll find it.
16:59I'll change out of these clothes.
17:01I don't want it to be too conspicuous
17:04Harry, there it is.
17:06312 Sky Road.
17:08Welfare's getting out of hand.
17:10This can't be the place.
17:12You've got to ask. It's the only address we have.
17:16Handouts at the rear, please.
17:19Excuse me, there's probably some mistake,
17:21but we're looking for Chet Boyle.
17:23Chet? Oh, you mean Chester.
17:27He lives here?
17:29Yes, madam.
17:31Oh, here he comes now.
17:35Hi, Mom. Hi, Pop.
17:37Hey, I did it. I found myself and found my life's work.
17:40Isn't it great?
17:42He's become a butcher.
17:44And you're a chauffeur for the lady who lives here?
17:47That's right, Mom.
17:49I get this room and free food, clothes, laundry, everything.
17:52All I have to do is drive.
17:54Well, at least you'll be sitting up.
17:56That beats the blood bank.
17:58You were so right, Pop.
18:00I never knew the value of hard work, but now I do.
18:02And I'm going to hang on to this job for life.
18:05Pop, you're not saying very much.
18:07Well, this is fine, Chet, but where does it go?
18:10What's your future?
18:12Well, we eat at 6.30.
18:14Chet, look. A fry cook can become a chef.
18:17A private can become an officer.
18:19But a chauffeur is always a chauffeur.
18:21What's wrong with starting at the top?
18:23But you're only 22.
18:25You can't spend your whole life like this.
18:27You'll be bored to death.
18:29Bored? With 12 cylinders and built-in stereo?
18:32Man, I've found it!
18:34Oh, that's Mrs. Martin.
18:36Hiya, sweetheart.
18:38How's my sexy girl today?
18:41Uh, she's 84, but she likes me to talk that way.
18:44Gets her circulation going.
18:45Yeah, baby?
18:47My son, the gigolo chauffeur.
18:50Harry, it's very natural for a father to want his son
18:54to become chairman of the board or a brain surgeon.
18:56But let's be honest, that's not Chet.
18:59Irma, you're right.
19:01I've been demanding too much out of the boy.
19:03After all, what's more important, success or happiness?
19:06Happiness! That's why I married you.
19:09You know what I mean.
19:11Well, the truth is, I've been on an ego trip.
19:14I'm beginning to realize that I wanted my son to be a big shot,
19:17not for him, but for me.
19:19So maybe I've learned something.
19:21If Chet's found a job that suits him,
19:23I should be proud of him no matter what it is.
19:25Harry, you're a wonderful man.
19:28And just to confirm that very thought,
19:30I'm taking you out to dinner, and no argument.
19:33Who's arguing?
19:35Well, how does it feel to be the mother of the best chauffeur in town?
19:38You mean the best chauffeur in the country.
19:41How about the world?
19:42Our son is the best chauffeur in the whole world.
19:45Harry, look out for that idiot.
19:51Oh, hiya, Pop.
19:52I'm sorry, but I dropped my guitar pick on the floor and was looking for it.
19:58I'm sorry Mrs. Martin fired you,
20:01but I guess it's understandable.
20:03I mean, what with the accident.
20:05Well, in a sense, she did me a favor.
20:07You were right, Pop.
20:08That was a dumb job.
20:10So boring and with no future.
20:12But you know, it made me realize there's a whole world out there to conquer.
20:16It did?
20:17Yeah, life is a challenge, and I'm going to meet it.
20:19Maybe I'll go back to college
20:21and find a position that will groom me for success.
20:24There was a book here on promising careers.
20:26Ah, here it is.
20:27Some other time, Pop.
20:29First I've got to put it all together.
20:31Well, at least our baby is home.
20:34And he may find a good position yet.
20:36If he does, I got a hunch it'll be horizontal.
20:40Well, Harry, you must be pretty proud of that kid of yours
20:43with that chauffeur's job.
20:44Oh, he quit that a couple of weeks ago.
20:47I had a little talk with him and made him realize there was no future in it.
20:50He quit?
20:51Yes, sir.
20:52It was old Dad who kept him from trapping himself
20:54into that low-paying, dead-end job with Mrs. Martin.
20:57Did you say Mrs. Martin?
20:59Yeah, why?
21:00Read your paper.
21:01It says that Mrs. Martin passed away,
21:03left $4 million to her cat and her new chauffeur.
