00:06:26business we don't our kids to death don't do this and don't do that now here's the way I look at it
00:06:32if your boy has never climbed your neighbor's apple tree or driven a cow into someone's garden or broken

00:10:22Your mother was Aunt Lily's sister.
00:10:25Oh.
00:10:27How old was I when Mother died?
00:10:31Just a little bit of a shaver.
00:10:36Excuse me, Mother.
00:10:37How much do you think my cousin weighs?
00:10:42Strip.
00:10:44Well, she got me there.

00:10:54Good night, Bill.
00:10:56Good night, Dad.

00:11:05Buts.
00:11:07Good night, Omer.
00:11:13See you in the morning.
00:11:15Mm-hmm.
00:11:29Hiya, brother.
00:11:30Hiya, Bill.
00:11:31Oh, Duffy.
00:11:34I, I want you to get on with Mrs. Clay.
00:11:38Just, just don't talk too much.
00:11:40Me and women say I wrote a book about them once.
00:11:44In the first chapter on feminine foibles.
00:11:46I know, I know.
00:11:48So you've told me before.
00:11:49What did you say his name was?
00:11:57Oh, I, I call him Butch.
00:12:00Butch.
00:12:01Yeah.
00:12:01Well, we need a big guy at the center.
00:12:08Big guy.
00:12:09Hi, boys.
00:12:10Come on, Hale.
00:12:11Come on, Hale.
00:12:12Come on.
00:12:13I got to go, putters.
00:12:14All right.
00:12:14Come on, Bill.
00:12:15Well, well, Lily, it's good to see you.
00:12:29Oh, Henry, you don't know what coming here means to us.
00:12:48Holy smoke.
00:12:50What did he say his name was?
00:12:52Butch.
00:12:53Uh-uh.
00:12:54And I suppose this is Billy.
00:13:03And this is Horace.
00:13:05How you doing, Uncle Henry?
00:13:07Glad to see you, Horace.
00:13:09Oh.
00:13:10Hello, Horace.
00:13:12Glad to know you, Bill.
00:13:14Oh, Duffy, will you get those bags?
00:13:16Yes.
00:13:16And will you carry wheat toy, Billy, dear?
00:13:19Huh?
00:13:33If that guy's name's Butch, mine's Clarabelle.
00:13:38Ixnay on the ass, Ray.
00:13:39Well, Billy, here we are.
00:14:00Such a beautiful home.
00:14:02Oh, Henry, it's so kind of you to share it with us.
00:14:04Oh, Lily, this is Martha.
00:14:13Martha.
00:14:29I don't know what to say.
00:14:31I feel so grateful I could cry.
00:14:34Oh, don't be silly.
00:14:36All we want you to do is to consider yourself at home, as long as you're here with us.
00:14:43Is that all you want now, Mr. Payne?
00:14:46That's all, Martha.
00:14:53Bill, you better take Elmer outdoors.
00:14:56Outdoors?
00:14:57Well, after all, he's not a house dog.
00:14:58Oh, he'll feel insulted.
00:15:01He's always been in the house.
00:15:02Now, don't you see that you've got handily upset?
00:15:04Take him out.
00:15:15Wheatoy will be used to Elmer in no time.
00:15:19What, tomorrow they'll probably be playing together.
00:15:22I don't think so, Billy, dear.
00:15:24Wheatoy has never liked big dogs.
00:15:26Oh, uh, supposing you boys tackle that luggage.
00:15:31And, Bill, you show Horace his room.
00:15:34All right, Dad.
00:15:35Come on, Horace.
00:15:40Oh, it's such a lovely house, Henry.
00:15:43Oh, it's such a lovely house, Henry.
00:15:53Simply adorable.
00:15:58This is yours.
00:15:59This is yours.
00:15:59This is yours.
00:16:01This is yours.
00:16:03This is yours.
00:16:05This is yours.
00:16:06This is yours.
00:16:07This is yours.
00:16:09Gee, your room's great.
00:16:17Yep.
00:16:19Here's my alarm clock.
00:16:23And the radio.
00:16:26I won that right in the composition about my dad.
00:16:36I've been through a great deal, Henry.
00:16:39But at least I can be proud of my boy, Horace.
00:16:42I've made every sacrifice and will gladly continue to, if necessary, to bring Horace up as a perfect gentleman.
00:16:51You've done very well, Lily.
00:16:53William seems like a nice boy, too.
00:16:56Oh, he's a grandkid.
00:16:58A little deadly sometimes, but always regular.
00:17:02I'm so glad.
00:17:04Really, I am especially for William's sake.
00:17:07You've been so good to him, Henry.
00:17:10He doesn't know, does he?
00:17:13Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
00:17:18You see, he is my son, as far as I'm concerned.
00:17:22Just as much as if he were my own flesh and blood.
00:17:26And I know how he feels about me, too.
00:17:29He thinks I'm a swell dad.
00:17:31And I try to be, just because he thinks so.
00:17:34I'm so glad that you feel that way about it.
00:17:38Horace doesn't know, does he?
00:17:40Why?
00:17:41Of course not.
00:17:42And you certainly don't think he'd tell if he did.
00:17:46No, but I guess it's safer this way.
00:17:50That aunt's under my microscope.
00:17:53You have?
00:17:54Mm-hmm.
00:17:59I certainly like your room.
00:18:03You wouldn't want to change with me, would you?
00:18:06Are you kidding?
00:18:08I should say not.
00:18:10Mine's right next to my dad's over there.
00:18:12I wouldn't change for no money in the world.
00:18:15Horace, dear.
00:18:17It's only natural that Billy should have a better room.
00:18:19And only natural that he should want to keep it.
00:18:22We mustn't expect too much.
00:18:24You don't want to be selfish.
00:18:26Like other little boys.
00:18:29Take Horace out and have him meet the boys.
00:18:35First thing you want to do is to join Bill's gang.
00:18:38What's the name of the club now?
00:18:41Oh, the Excelsior Club.
00:18:43It's the most exclusive club in town.
00:18:46Come on, Horace.
00:18:49Do you stutter?
00:18:50No, of course not.
00:18:55So long, Dad.
00:18:56So long, kids.
00:18:57See you tonight.
00:18:58Hey, come on, Horace.
00:18:59Bye, Uncle Henry.
00:19:04Come on, Horace.
00:19:05Next week's school starts, so we might as well have all the fun we can.
00:19:21Oh, I don't know.
00:19:22School's not so good.
00:19:23Yeah.
00:19:24Turn over.
00:19:29Hey, you good boy.
00:19:30There's a good boy.
00:19:31Here.
00:19:32Come on.
00:19:34Go.
00:19:37What do you think about her?
00:19:38He's a funny-looking mutt.
00:19:40Mutt nothing?
00:19:41Why, Duffy said that he's a thoroughbred Mongolian.
00:19:45Yeah, but what does Duffy know about him?
00:19:47Oh, Duffy's a swell guy.
00:19:49He's a scholar, too.
00:19:51You mean, he goes to school.
00:19:53Oh, no, he's too old to go to school.
00:19:55But that's what he always says.
00:19:57He's a gentleman and a scholar.
00:19:59What does he do for a living?
00:20:01Oh, he wants to work a dad off and on.
00:20:03Put that stuff for you.
00:20:05Here today and going tomorrow.
00:20:07Not like a trap to me.
00:20:09Oh, not him.
00:20:10Well, he'll tell you.
00:20:11He's been every place and done everything and, well, there's where he lives.
00:20:16And that job, well, that's just sort of temporary.
00:20:20If our financial condition is found, why did we have a depression?
00:20:25It's the monetary system.
00:20:27What's the matter?
00:20:29He's got somebody in there with him.
00:20:31And in closing, friends and radio listeners, I want to emphasize that my sentiments have been perfectly expressed by that other great American, Abraham Lincoln.
00:20:42This is a government of the people, by the people, and for the people.
00:20:48I thank you.
00:20:50You took the words right out of my mouth, Al.
00:20:52Hiya, Duff.
00:20:54Hello there, Bill.
00:20:56Come on in.
00:20:58I, uh, I was just coming up to your place.
00:21:04Hello, Horace.
00:21:05How do you do, Mr. Duffy?
00:21:07Plain Duffy to my friend, son.
00:21:09Let's go.
00:21:14Hey, Duffy, what were you arguing with the radio for?
00:21:17Keeps me up with my orator.
00:21:19Might have to run for office again.
00:21:22Duffy, I'm thinking you've held an office.
00:21:25Sure.
00:21:26I was unanimously elected governor of New Mexico.
00:21:31Back in 1892, it was.
00:21:34Say, New Mexico wasn't admitted to the union until 1912.
00:21:39Wasn't even a state.
00:21:41Who said it was a state?
00:21:43I was territorial governor.
00:21:45Territories don't elect governors.
00:21:47They're appointed.
00:21:49Who said anything about being elected?
00:21:51Who did?
00:21:52You said...
00:21:53Oh, must have misheard me.
00:21:54Pretty quick in the uptake, ain't you, son?
00:21:57Huh?
00:21:58Kinda smart.
00:21:59I mean, he ain't great.
00:22:00That's fine, Horace.
00:22:01You go right ahead.
00:22:02Don't let nothing stop you.
00:22:03Schooling's a great thing.
00:22:04I'm a Harvard man, myself.
00:22:05What's the capital of New York?
00:22:07Albany.
00:22:08Anybody knows that?
00:22:09What's the capital of Illinois?
00:22:11Springfield.
00:22:12That's where Lincoln lived.
00:22:13What's the capital of New York?
00:22:15Albany.

00:22:19That's where Lincoln lived.
00:22:20What's the capital of Oregon?
00:22:21Oregon.
00:22:22Oregon.
00:22:23Oregon.
00:22:24Why golly, you got me there.
00:22:25I never did get to Oregon.
00:22:26I know all the capitals.
00:22:27They've only been in one state.
00:22:28What's up?
00:22:29Wasn't you a lumberjack in Oregon?
00:22:30No.
00:22:31That was Washington.
00:22:32Oh yeah, I remember.
00:22:33Washington.
00:22:34Oh yeah, I remember.

00:22:38Come on!
00:22:39Hiya, fellas.
00:22:40I'll see you later.
00:22:41Fellas?
00:22:42This is my cousin and he wants to join the club.
00:22:43I know all the capitals.
00:22:44I know all the capitals.
00:22:45They've only been in one state.
00:22:46What's up?
00:22:47Wasn't you a lumberjack in Oregon?
00:22:48No.
00:22:49That was Washington.
00:22:50Oh yeah, I remember.

00:23:02That's my cousin and he wants to join the club.
00:23:04Horace?
00:23:05This is Brad.
00:23:06Hi.
00:23:07Spex?
00:23:08Joey?
00:23:09Hello.
00:23:10Tom?
00:23:11Cupid?
00:23:12Cupid?
00:23:13That's a funny name.
00:23:14What's yours?
00:23:15Horace.
00:23:16Horace Clay.
00:23:17Oh, Horace.
00:23:18I'll slap you on the wrist.
00:23:20Pick up a dandelion.
00:23:21Pick up a dandelion?
00:23:23What for?
00:23:24Go on.
00:23:25Do as you're told.
00:23:32Excelsior!
00:23:33Excelsior!
00:23:34Excelsior!
00:23:35Hey, what's the idea?
00:23:38You gotta do it, Horace.
00:23:40That's initiation.
00:23:41Well, you're not gonna initiate me that way.
00:23:44That's the rules.
00:23:45Sure, everybody goes through the mill before they can be a member.
00:23:49Oh, it's dumb if you ask me.
00:23:51You wanna be a member, don't you?
00:23:53Yeah, but I'm not gonna be made a fool of.
00:23:55Oh, come on, Horace.
00:23:56Be a regular guy.
00:23:57We're all going swimming after.
00:23:58I don't wanna go swimming.
00:23:59I forget him.
00:24:00Let's go swimming.
00:24:01I bet your cousin would like to play a nice game of tiddlywinks.
00:24:04Oh, you guys got him all wrong.
00:24:05He's all right.
00:24:06Maybe he's homesick or something.
00:24:07That's one in the creek's name's Clarabelle.
00:24:08Hey, wait, wait.
00:24:09Woo!
00:24:10Hey, man!
00:24:11Hey, man!
00:24:12Hey, man!
00:24:13Hey, man!
00:24:14Hey, man!
00:24:15Hey, man!
00:24:16Hey, man!
00:24:17Hey, man!
00:24:18Hey, man!
00:24:19Hey, man!
00:24:20Hey, man!
00:24:21Hey, man!
00:24:22Hey, man!
00:24:23Hey, man!
00:24:24Hey, man!
00:24:25Hey, man!
00:24:26Hey, man!
00:24:27Hey, man!
00:24:32Horace, what's the matter, dear?
00:24:34Nothing's the matter.
00:24:36Well, what's happened?
00:24:37Tell mother.
00:24:38I told you nothing.
00:24:40Why aren't you out playing with Billy?
00:24:43He don't wanna play with you.
00:24:45Well, what about the other boys?
00:24:47You told them not to play with me.
00:24:49wouldn't I? Why? How should I know? Horace, how can you speak to me in that manner? Then why do you ask
00:24:59me so many questions? Because, darling, I'm just trying to help you. You see, when you're unhappy,
00:25:07my mother is miserable. Peck, just leave him to me. You know, dear, you have just as much
00:25:21right in this house as he has. Put on over five pounds, and that's over a pound a week. But
00:25:36they are the best waffles I ever ate. With my special recipe. Do you have another cup
00:25:40of coffee? You know, it's a rare thing, Lily, to find a woman who can make a decent cup of
00:25:45coffee. Well, it's a rare thing to find a man who can appreciate a cup of coffee when he
00:25:49gets it.
00:25:52I don't know.
00:25:55I don't know.
00:25:57Billy, dear, don't do that. What are you up to now?
00:26:00Cut that out, Elmer. Billy, you know that isn't very fair to the animal. If you keep feeding
00:26:07him at the table, he'll continue to expect it, and you know that isn't very nice. I thought
00:26:11I told you to keep that dog outside. You didn't say all the time. Billy, that sounded terribly
00:26:18fresh. Oh, I didn't mean it that way. I'm sure you didn't. But it sounded dreadfully.
00:26:26Hey, what do you got there? Where? You know where. In your pocket. What pocket? In your
00:26:40pants pocket.
00:26:41Horace. Yes, Mother? Let me see your handkerchief. That's better. Billy, why can't you fill that
00:27:10soiled handkerchief in that laundry bag and take another? Oh, I only got it out just today.
00:27:16Will you please do what Aunt Lily says? What do you got in that bottle? This. Oh, my goodness.
00:27:23Take them away. Take them away. Throw that stuff out. Oh, but I've been studying them, and I've been
00:27:30feeding them for months. Feeding ants? You take that junk and dump it out in the ash can and
00:27:36come back here. What about the two bottles of ants in your room, Bill? Now, listen. You go
00:27:42right up and get them and dump them out with the rest of this junk. Dirty little snitch. Come on,
00:27:51Homer. Give Mr. Horace a soup what you want me to do here. Oh, Billy, dear. As long as you're
00:27:56going upstairs, will you take Horace a soup with you? You mustn't be too harsh with him, Henry. He's
00:28:07only a child. Well, after all, Horace has had a mother's care. Miss Martha, you may take the plates out,
00:28:17but leave the coffee. That's the way I always do it, Miss Lily.
00:28:25Martha doesn't seem to catch on very quickly, does she? I catch on to some things mighty quickly, Miss Lily.
00:28:47Oh, Uncle Henry, have you seen my report card? Yes. And a very good report card it is, too. Oh,
00:29:08that reminds me, Bill. I knew there was something else I wanted to talk to you about. Horace Clay. A in
00:29:25effort. Plus B in work. A in conduct. William Peck. C in effort. B in work. C in conduct. C in
00:29:40conduct. How did it happen? Oh, some kid poked me when we were at recess, so I poked him
00:29:45back, and I got C. Well, that's the third fight that you've had in the past two months. Of course,
00:29:51it doesn't reflect much credit on me to have everyone in town saying that Peck's boy is
00:29:56always in trouble. You must know how it makes me feel. Horace. Oh. Thanks, Horace.
00:30:21Horace. It's hard for you to get ready for church. Yes, Mother. Excuse me, Uncle
00:30:26Henry. And you, too, Billy, dear. Oh, Bill. Just a minute. Sit down. Excuse me, please.
00:30:44Billy. Maybe I shouldn't have given you that claw down before Aunt Lily and Horace. That's
00:30:57all right. Something's licking the tar out of you. What's
00:31:04doing it? Nothing. You can't tell me that. You're not pulling well with Horace, are you? No.
00:31:13No. You not only refuse to play with him, but you influence the rest of the gang toward him.
00:31:22I can't help it if they don't like him. I don't see why not. Maybe he's not like the other
00:31:28boys you play with, but he seems like a good kid. And he's smart, too. Oh, he's smart, all right.
00:31:38The trouble is, uh, you don't try to understand him, Bill. I don't want to understand him.
00:31:46Well, it's up to you to get along with him. You've got to bear with him as long as he and
00:31:50Aunt Lily are living with us. How much longer are they going to stay? Bill, I don't like your
00:31:55attitude. Guys, we, we don't seem to get together at all anymore. You know as well as I do that ever since Aunt
00:32:03Lily's been here, why she's done everything in her power to make things pleasant for us.
00:32:33We're going to see him and have a moment before in her.
00:32:39Right, right, right. I don't want to see you.
00:32:42I don't know if she wants to stay, where she wants to stay.
00:32:46I'm going to hear you. Well, you don't know how much money we can do this.
00:32:50I think it's even better, right? I don't know how much money we can do this.
00:32:54I think that a guy who's president of the Excelsior Club could handle a little situation
00:33:12like this.
00:33:13Don't you?
00:33:14I tell you, Dad, I try to be friends with him, but I don't know.
00:33:20You can't tell me about kids.
00:33:23They're all alike, scrapping one minute and friends the next.
00:33:29You know the trouble with you?
00:33:31You're trying to make a mountain out of a molehill.
00:33:35Now beat it upstairs and get ready for church.
00:33:40Step on it, will you?
00:33:41OK, Paul.
00:33:53I can't tell you, man.
00:33:54You know what?
00:33:55Now let's go.
00:33:56I don't know.
00:33:56Let's go.
00:33:57Let's go.
00:33:57Let's go.
00:33:59Hey, horse, will you get out of my room?
00:34:29Horace, that cleared sort of a dirty trick on you, and I wanted to tell you about it.
00:34:33You can't tell me anything.
00:34:35Well, I had a talk with Dad, and I told him that you can't tell me anything.
00:34:40Horace!
00:34:41I'm coming, Mother!
00:34:43Hey, Horace!
00:34:44Hello, Horace.
00:34:57All set?
00:34:58You'd better hurry up, Uncle Henry.
00:35:00Oh, we've got plenty of time.
00:35:01It's only a couple of blocks.
00:35:03We've got plenty of blocks.
00:35:04We've got plenty of blocks.
00:35:10We're out of the room.
00:35:11I can't control the stairs.
00:35:12I'm done.
00:35:13I cannot control the stairs.
00:35:14I'm done.
00:35:15I'm done.
00:35:16We're done.
00:35:17I'm done.
00:35:18I'm done.
00:35:19I'm done.
00:35:20I'm done.
00:35:21Let's go.
00:35:51I'm going out.
00:36:21Well, did keeping him in his room all afternoon do any good?
00:36:35He wouldn't say anything except that he didn't do it.
00:36:45I don't know what's gotten into him.
00:36:47He never lied to me before.
00:36:51Playing a trick like that on me.
00:36:55Why don't you let me try to work it out.
00:37:00I want you to be happy, Henry.
00:37:03And I might be able to wake William up.
00:37:09That may be a good idea, Lily.
00:37:12We'll talk about it later.
00:37:15I'm going over to see Watkins for a few minutes on business.
00:37:19I'll see you at the theater at 7.
00:37:35What do you want?
00:37:36I just wanted to tell you the gang was around asking for you.
00:37:39I told them you couldn't come out.
00:37:42You keep your nose out of my business.
00:37:44Now beat her.
00:37:46I certainly like this room.
00:37:49Well, forget it because it won't do you no good.
00:37:52I was just thinking.
00:37:54If you'll trade rooms with me, I'll tell Uncle Henry the truth about the aunt.
00:37:58You keep quiet.
00:37:59You made enough trouble between Dad and me already.
00:38:02Why don't you and your mother get wise to yourselves and pack up and go home?
00:38:05Why don't you get wise to yourself?
00:38:07We're here to stay.
00:38:09You ought to know by now that nobody wants you.
00:38:11You don't belong here.
00:38:12We have as much right here as you have.
00:38:14In fact, more.
00:38:15Well, you have, huh?
00:38:17Yes, we have.
00:38:18How do you figure that out?
00:38:20You don't know.
00:38:21I'm not going to tell you.
00:38:22Well, don't think what I kid.
00:38:24At least I've got a mother.
00:38:26I know who my father was.
00:38:27And I knew who my father is.
00:38:29What do you think?
00:38:31You cut that out.
00:38:32Cousin or no cousin, I'll take a suckage.
00:38:34You're not my cousin.
00:38:35You're no relation to any of us.
00:38:37You're an orphan.
00:38:38They got you out of an orphan's home.
00:38:39Oh, you're goofy.
00:38:40Am I?
00:38:41Well, I can prove it.
00:38:42If you don't believe me, ask my mother.
00:38:44Go on.
00:38:46Why don't you find out for yourself then?
00:38:48Find out if it isn't true.
00:38:49Find out if they didn't get you from an orphan asylum.
00:38:52Ask your dad.
00:39:19Mmm.
00:39:20Two teaspoons of vanilla.
00:39:21Been cooking all my life without a receipt book.
00:39:22And then she come along.
00:39:23Two teaspoons of vanilla.
00:39:24Two teaspoons of vanilla.
00:39:27Been cooking all my life without a receipt book.
00:39:29And then she come along.
00:39:31Two teaspoons of vanilla.
00:39:35What's dad, Martha?
00:39:36Hmm?
00:39:37Oh, it's you.
00:39:38What's dad?
00:39:39And your dad?
00:39:40He done gone downtown for something.
00:39:41He ain't literally gone down to meet him after a while and they go into the movies.
00:39:42Are you sure?
00:39:43Is I sure?
00:39:44Is I sure?
00:39:45Is I sure?
00:39:46Is I ever lied to you?
00:39:47Well, I mean, wouldn't he be back?
00:39:48Now, how should I know when he be back?
00:39:49How should I know?
00:39:50And don't start out on me.
00:39:51I got too much on my mind now.
00:39:52Where'd she put that current jam?
00:39:53Well, what's your dad?
00:39:54I don't know.
00:39:55What's your dad?
00:39:56What's your dad?
00:39:57What's your dad?
00:39:58What's your dad?
00:39:59What's your dad?
00:40:00What's your dad?
00:40:01Who'd he be back to me?
00:40:02No.
00:40:03Oh, how's your dad?
00:40:04I'm a little bit of a mess.
00:40:05What's your dad?
00:40:06What's your dad?
00:40:07He's done gone downtown for something.
00:40:08You ain't literally go down to meet him after a while and they go into the movies.
00:40:11Are you sure?
00:40:12Is I sure?
00:40:13Is I sure?
00:40:14Is I sure?
00:40:15Is I ever lied to you?
00:40:16Oh, I mean, when'll he be back?
00:40:17Well, where'd she put that current jam?
00:40:23How long you been with Dad and me, Martha?
00:40:26Oh, near about 15 years. Long before you was born, Sonny.
00:40:30Then you must have been here when I was born.
00:40:35We wasn't here then, living in Greeley.
00:40:41Oh, gosh. Then you do remember.
00:40:44Why, of course I remember, child.
00:40:46I got a memory like an elephant.
00:40:48Billy, honey, you were the cutest, pinkest, prettiest
00:40:51little baby I ever saw.
00:40:53And your mam and daddy sure was crazy about you.
00:40:56And I was, too.
00:40:57Ain't that something?
00:40:59Yes, but go on now. Get on out of the way.
00:41:01Get on out. Get...
00:41:16Somebody's been talking and somebody's been talking too much.
00:41:21Get on out.
00:41:22I do.
00:41:23I do.
00:41:24I do.
00:41:26I do.
00:41:57Hi there, Bill.
00:42:06Where's Butch?
00:42:07You mean Clarabelle, don't you?
00:42:10Well, Butch or Clarabelle, it's all the same.
00:42:13Go to the ad, thou sluggard.
00:42:18We have the pleasure of your company to go fishing for Bullhead, Mr. William Peck.
00:42:23No, thank you.
00:42:24I don't care to go fishing.
00:42:25Ta-da!
00:42:26Father and time together,
00:42:31Towns with every kind of weather.
00:42:35Boys of today are men of tomorrow.
00:42:39So let your country come to sorrow.
00:42:43Fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight.
00:42:47Hiya, Duff.
00:42:58Hi there, Bill.
00:42:59Where you been all afternoon?
00:43:01Oh, I've been around.
00:43:04Say, Duff, was you ever in an orphan asylum?
00:43:06Was I ever in an asylum?
00:43:10Yeah.
00:43:11Now, that ain't nice, kid.
00:43:13I don't like that.
00:43:15Accusing a man of my standing with being in a crazy house?
00:43:18Oh, you don't get me right, Duff.
00:43:20I mean an orphan asylum.
00:43:22Oh, you mean an orphan home.
00:43:26Now, somehow, this is kind of strange.
00:43:28I didn't get you right on account of this, so.
00:43:30Oh, stop a minute, will you, Duff?
00:43:32This is awful important to me.
00:43:34Sure.
00:43:36Speak your mind.
00:43:37Well, what I want to know is,
00:43:40if a kid's born in an orphan home,
00:43:43how does he find out?
00:43:44Well, I'll tell you.
00:43:48You see, when me and my three brothers and two sisters
00:43:51was all orphans,
00:43:53we was in an orphan home,
00:43:54and I was quite a character.
00:43:56As a matter of fact,
00:43:57a fellow wrote a play about my brother and me.
00:44:00Did you ever hear about it?
00:44:01It was called The Two Offers.
00:44:03Hey, Duffy!
00:44:05Well, did you find out?
00:44:08As I started to tell you.
00:44:10Skip it, Duffy.
00:44:11Hmm?
00:44:11Skip it, little mine.
00:44:14Well, I want those flowers for her corsage.
00:44:20I'll be getting them soon,
00:44:21when I'm through here.
00:44:23Well, you better get them now,
00:44:24if you know what's good for you.
00:44:27Horace!
00:44:34Here he is, Mother.
00:44:35I told him, but he wouldn't do it.
00:44:37Mr. Duffy, what about my flowers?
00:44:40Yes, ma'am.
00:44:41I was just going after them.
00:44:43Well, I should think you'd have plenty of time before this.
00:44:46You know, ma'am,
00:44:48the later you pick them,
00:44:49the longer they last.
00:44:51Seems to me that instead of wasting your time
00:44:54building dog houses,
00:44:55you might apply yourself to the garden
00:44:57with better results.
00:44:59Well, since you're feeling that way about it,
00:45:01maybe I ought to tell you,
00:45:02I'm building the house on my own time.
00:45:04You needn't be insolent about it.
00:45:06I don't mean to be insolent, lady.
00:45:11Mr. Duffy,
00:45:12we won't need you here anymore.
00:45:15Well, that's all right.
00:45:17But you know,
00:45:18Mr. Peck, he hired me,
00:45:20and I kind of think it's up to him to fire me.
00:45:22You're discharged!
00:45:23You know, Mrs. Vanderbilt tried to fire me once,
00:45:25but I got to reasoning with her.
00:45:29In a couple of minutes,
00:45:30she said to me,
00:45:32Duffy, I beg your pardon.
00:45:35Go back to them horses.
00:45:38Now,
00:45:40if you want to apologize.
00:45:48Oh, well.
00:45:50There was no future here anyway.
00:45:55Oh.
00:46:08Oh.
00:46:14Oh.
00:46:15It's still science.
00:46:16I was livid.
00:46:17Oh, it's never trouble.
00:46:17We saw that way.
00:46:20Oh, fine.
00:47:28I'm better to go to Bushmore.
00:47:33A lot of Bushmore nothing.
00:47:36You don't look anything, aren't you, do you?
00:47:40I don't know.
00:47:41I don't know.
00:47:42I don't know.
00:47:43I don't know.
00:47:45I don't know.
00:47:46I don't know.
00:48:22Well, I'll say one thing for Duffy, built you a doghouse anyway.
00:48:48He got fresh with my mother and she fired him.
00:48:52He's leaving in the morning.
00:48:55Another thing, we miss those cock and bull stories of his.
00:49:01Nobody asked you to come and listen to them.
00:49:04I wouldn't want to waste my time on a tramp like that.
00:49:08Boy, you don't see me stuck with 40% in an arithmetic examination.
00:49:13Well, I bet you're doing pretty good for a kid who comes from an orphan asylum.
00:49:20You take that back or I'll sock you one.
00:49:26Why don't you try it?
00:49:29You better learn to duck.
00:49:34Hey, Bill.
00:49:35What is this?
00:49:37Well, this is a fine mess.
00:49:41What's this all about, young man?
00:49:43And I assured Uncle Henry it would be perfectly safe to leave you two alone.
00:49:50I'm ashamed of you.
00:49:51You especially, Horace.
00:49:52You don't know how you hurt Mother.
00:49:54And I thought I could trust you.
00:49:56I'm sorry, Mother.
00:49:57I'm sorry, Uncle Henry.
00:50:07You're all smeared with blood.
00:50:10You're a sight.
00:50:11Go in and wash up.
00:50:12Come, Billy.
00:50:13Well, at least you might be civil to Aunt Lily.
00:50:17Don't, Henry, please.
00:50:19He didn't mean it.
00:50:20Did you, Billy, dear?
00:50:22Why don't you answer?
00:50:27You apologize to Aunt Lily.
00:50:30I won't apologize.
00:50:31Well, what do you mean by that?
00:50:33I won't apologize, that's all.
00:50:36Well, now, that isn't all.
00:50:39Now, listen.
00:50:40This is serious.
00:50:42Either you do what I say, Bill, or we're through.
00:50:46You wouldn't talk that way to me if...
00:50:49If what?
00:50:51If what?
00:50:52If what?
00:50:53I can't understand you at all anymore.
00:50:56If what?
00:50:57What are you talking about?
00:50:59You're not the boy that I could talk to man to man.
00:51:09Dad, could I have a little talk with you?
00:51:11Kind of private-like?
00:51:13Now, what is all this privacy about?
00:51:16Aunt Lily is just as much interested in you as I am.
00:51:19Anything you've got to say to me, you can say before her.
00:51:23Oh, what's the use?
00:51:25Don't be stubborn, Billy, dear.
00:51:27Well, what have you got to say for yourself?
00:51:32I'm going to bed.
00:51:34I'm going to bed.
00:51:42Henry.
00:51:43Leave him alone.
00:51:44I'll think of something.
00:52:02Get this.
00:52:03I'm going to bed.
00:52:05Oh, I'm going to bed.
00:52:08I'm done.
00:52:09I'm going to bed.
00:52:10You can't just sit up in bed.
00:52:11I'll go to bed.
00:52:12Yes, I'll go out.
00:52:13You can sit up here.
00:52:14You can sit up.
00:52:15Yes, I'll go.
00:52:16I'm coming.
00:52:17Nice job.
00:52:18I'll go.
00:52:19You can sit up here.
00:52:20That's what my Wennley said.
00:52:21Say, here's a funny one, can you imagine me there with a moustache?
00:52:51They don't want me, I don't want them.
00:53:21They don't want me, they don't want me, they don't want me.
00:53:31They don't want me, they don't want me.
00:53:43They don't want me, they don't want me.
00:53:53They don't want me, they don't want me.
00:54:03They don't want me, they don't want me.
00:54:13They don't want me, they don't want me.
00:54:33They don't want me, they don't want me.
00:54:45They don't want me, they don't want me.
00:55:01They don't want me, they don't want me.
00:55:19They don't want me, they don't want me.
00:55:35They don't want me, they don't want me.
00:55:51They don't want me, they don't want me.
00:56:19What's the matter there?
00:56:22What's up now?
00:56:24Tell them.
00:56:27Hey, that ain't no way to act.
00:56:33Come on, snap out of it.
00:56:49That reminds me.
00:56:52You know, I ran away once myself when I was a kid about your age.
00:56:57Went to seeing a foremaster and going around the horn.
00:57:01Let me see.
00:57:03It was in 61 or 62.
00:57:06Oh, damn the bull, Duff.
00:57:17I remember it like it was yesterday.
00:57:19We were trekked on Lord Sumpton.
00:57:21And General Lee rolled up.
00:57:23And he says to me, Duff, he says.
00:57:26They don't want me anymore, Duff.
00:57:28They don't want me.
00:57:29Oh, you're just imagining that, son.
00:57:33No.
00:57:34He said he was true with me, I tell you.
00:57:36I'm surprised that you've taken him so serious like that.
00:57:39Why?
00:57:40I ain't never seen a father and son so close.
00:57:44But rain is starting.
00:57:46They took me out of her office home.
00:58:14They took me out of her office home.
00:58:17Come on, Duff.
00:58:18Let's get going.
00:58:21Did I ever tell you of the time I was cooking for the king?
00:58:25It was during the Boer War in South Africa.
00:58:27Gee, we'll have swell times together.
00:58:31You sure you want to go, Bill?
00:58:35You said I could go with you, didn't you?
00:58:37Sure.
00:58:39Miss Clay said some things to me I didn't like.
00:58:41You didn't see me run away and hang my head.
00:58:44No, sir.
00:58:45I gave her a chance to apologize.
00:58:48And then I walked.
00:58:49Like that.
00:58:56Bill, if you want to be a success in life,
00:58:59don't run away from your problems.
00:59:01Where would Dempsey be if he was afraid of Big Jess Willer?
00:59:05Or Lindbergh be if he was afraid to cross the Atlantic Ocean?
00:59:10Or President Roosevelt if he was afraid to tackle the depression?
00:59:15Come on, Duff.
00:59:16Let's get going.
00:59:25Oh, get out of my kitchen.
00:59:26How dare you talk to me that way?
00:59:28Get out and stay out.
00:59:29Mr. Peck, I'm quitting right now.
00:59:31What's the trouble?
00:59:32Oh, Henry, I'm so sorry.
00:59:34You leave Martha to me.
00:59:35What is it, Martha?
00:59:36What is it?
00:59:37If she stays here, I'm going right now.
00:59:39This woman ever since she's been here,
00:59:40there ain't been nothing but trouble, trouble, trouble.
00:59:42What's going on?
00:59:43Ask right, ask her.
00:59:44She's running this place.
00:59:46Running you.
00:59:47But she ain't gonna run me.
00:59:49She's even trying to run your own boy out of this house.
00:59:52Oh, Henry, I'm so embarrassed.
00:59:54I don't know what to say.
00:59:58Where's Bill?
01:00:00Why, I don't know Henry.
01:00:03He's up in his room a pose.
01:00:08Oh, Bill.
01:00:12Oh, Bill.
01:00:17Good morning, Uncle Henry.
01:00:19Where's Bill?
01:00:21I don't know, Uncle Henry.
01:00:24What's going on here?
01:00:25We changed rooms.
01:00:27When did that happen?
01:00:28By only yesterday, Henry.
01:00:30Why did you do it, Lily?
01:00:32Well, you know, we discussed it yesterday,
01:00:34and you agreed with me that it might do Bill some good if I...
01:00:37I know, but at least you might have let me talk to him about it first.
01:00:51This bed hasn't been slept in.
01:00:53He hasn't been here all night.
01:00:55Oh, where is he?
01:00:57Where could he have gone?
01:00:59Well, there's no sense standing here talking about it.
01:01:06I want you to go, but not to stay.
01:01:09I want you to go back and clean up.
01:01:12Don't you see, Duff?
01:01:14Belong.
01:01:15Belong?
01:01:17And mind you, a kid that won't fight for his rights ain't worth his salt.
01:01:22I'll bet you're running away if I slicked you.
01:01:26He didn't lick me.
01:01:27And I ain't running away because of that, neither.
01:01:30Well, it's certainly going to look like it.
01:01:35You don't believe that, do you, Duff?
01:01:37No, no.
01:01:40But when Horace tells the gang that he licked you,
01:01:43what are they going to think if you ain't here to defend yourself?
01:01:46Oh, they won't even listen to him.
01:01:49I'll bet you are running away because Horace licked you.
01:01:54You think so?
01:01:55You think so, Duff?
01:01:57Well, I'll show you.
01:01:58I'll show you.
01:02:06Excelsior, excelsior!
01:02:28Where you been?
01:02:29Where were you all night?
01:02:30Your father's looking for you.
01:02:32Well, I'm looking for you.
01:02:33What do you want?
01:02:34I'll come back here to clean up.
01:02:36Where ya been? Where were you all night? Your father's looking for you. Well, I'm looking
01:02:54for you. What do you want? I'll come back here to clean up.
01:03:05What is this, Bill? He started it.
01:03:35Here, here, here. Wait a minute, Billy. Wait a minute. Well, why don't you do something
01:03:40about it? We will do something about it. You take Horace to his own room. Please,
01:03:45Lily.

01:04:23oh is Duffy going away it really fired him didn't she well I might decide to to rehire him
