00:10:43,226 --> 00:10:45,686
Well, now, I suppose you mean about her
still being married.
176
00:10:45,979 --> 00:10:48,063
I don't mind saying I had the same
thought myself.
177
00:10:48,481 --> 00:10:50,065
But I'm sure it must be all right.
178
00:10:50,150 --> 00:10:52,192
She must have made some arrangement.
179
00:10:52,777 --> 00:10:54,320
I'm quite sure she did, Mr. Barker.
180
00:10:54,404 --> 00:10:56,572
Does she call this one Bill, too?
181
00:10:57,407 --> 00:10:59,408
You children run along now and do the
marketing.
182
00:10:59,492 --> 00:11:01,493
Go on. Take some money from the cup
183
00:11:01,578 --> 00:11:04,580
and get a five
-cent soup bone off of Hassler's.
184
00:11:04,664 --> 00:11:06,332
Don't get the chopped meat from him,
though.
185
00:11:06,416 --> 00:11:09,043
He grinds it behind closed doors and
heaven only knows.
186
00:11:09,127 --> 00:11:10,502
Go to Werner's for the meat.
187
00:11:10,587 --> 00:11:13,172
Ask for round steak, chopped, 10 cents'
worth.
188
00:11:13,256 --> 00:11:15,007
And don't let him give it to you off the
plate.
189
00:11:15,091 --> 00:11:17,760
Take an onion, Neeley! And ask him to
chop it in.
190
00:11:17,844 --> 00:11:21,013
And then just at the last, ask for a
piece of suet to fry it with.
191
00:11:21,097 --> 00:11:22,556
But he won't always do that, Mama.
192
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:24,058
Tell him your mama said.
193
00:11:24,142 --> 00:11:25,225
And then go for the bread.
194
00:11:25,310 --> 00:11:26,352
It's Saturday, Mom.
195
00:11:26,436 --> 00:11:28,437
All right. Ask for a nice pie, not too
crushed.
196
00:11:28,521 --> 00:11:30,064
Now, go on. But, Mama, we know
197
00:11:30,148 --> 00:11:31,690
Aunt Sissy's been married before.
198
00:11:31,775 --> 00:11:33,692
Sure. I can remember two Uncle Bills.
199
00:11:33,777 --> 00:11:35,027
That's nothing for you to talk about.
200
00:11:35,111 --> 00:11:36,945
Now run along now and get things done.
201
00:11:43,119 --> 00:11:46,038
You got no right, Mr. Barker, to be
carrying tales about my sister
202
00:11:46,122 --> 00:11:47,873
as though there were something wrong.
203
00:11:47,957 --> 00:11:52,336
She may be funny some ways, but she
wouldn't do nothing wrong,
204
00:11:52,420 --> 00:11:55,214
so I'd like it if you didn't talk to
people like it was.
205
00:11:55,298 --> 00:11:57,674
Strike me dead if I'd ever think of
mentioning it to anyone
206
00:11:57,759 --> 00:11:58,884
but you, Mrs. Nolan.
207
00:11:58,968 --> 00:12:00,010
Yeah, sure. I know.
208
00:12:01,137 --> 00:12:04,973
Well, you might as well go on now and
tell me what you do know.
209
00:12:05,308 --> 00:12:07,893
No point in my being the only one who
don't hear it.
210
00:12:08,269 --> 00:12:09,269
Well...
211
00:12:09,562 --> 00:12:11,563
Ten cents' worth of round steak? You want
it ground?
212
00:12:11,648 --> 00:12:13,190
No, thank you. You're sure now?
213
00:12:13,274 --> 00:12:15,734
It wasn't 20 minutes ago I ground that
whole plateful fresh.
214
00:12:15,819 --> 00:12:16,985
No, thank you.
215
00:12:25,703 --> 00:12:27,955
Oh, I forgot. My mama wants it ground.
216
00:12:29,457 --> 00:12:30,666
You don't tell me.
217
00:12:32,001 --> 00:12:33,836
And she said to chop that in with it.
218
00:12:34,462 --> 00:12:35,796
She did?
219
00:12:43,763 --> 00:12:46,014
And a piece of suet to fry it with, Mama
said.
220
00:12:46,391 --> 00:12:49,143
Sweet jumping Christopher!
221
00:12:53,022 --> 00:12:55,941
VENDOR: Olives! Sweet potatoes!
222
00:12:58,611 --> 00:13:01,280
You know, Mama thinks we don't know
anything.
223
00:13:01,364 --> 00:13:03,657
Yeah. She acts like we were kids or
something.
224
00:13:04,033 --> 00:13:06,577
I bet she has a fight with Aunt Sissy
tonight.
225
00:13:06,661 --> 00:13:09,371
It's got something to do with men like
Aunt Sissy too much.
226
00:13:09,456 --> 00:13:12,291
But Papa says we ought to make everybody
like us.
227
00:13:12,375 --> 00:13:14,293
I guess maybe ladies shouldn't.
228
00:13:14,377 --> 00:13:16,462
Maybe Aunt Sissy wouldn't have changed
husbands so much
229
00:13:16,546 --> 00:13:18,297
if any of her babies would've lived.
230
00:13:18,381 --> 00:13:20,048
She's crazy about babies.
231
00:13:20,133 --> 00:13:23,135
Look who's talking about babies. A lot
you know.
232
00:13:23,219 --> 00:13:24,428
I know as much as you do.
233
00:13:24,512 --> 00:13:25,637
You don't know nothing.
234
00:13:25,722 --> 00:13:28,348
You think you're so smart. Boys make me
sick!
235
00:13:28,433 --> 00:13:29,683
What do you think girls make people?
236
00:13:29,767 --> 00:13:30,976
MAN: Here she comes!
237
00:13:31,936 --> 00:13:33,645
Come on!
238
00:13:43,740 --> 00:13:45,908
WOMAN: Mister, give us a white bread.
239
00:13:46,743 --> 00:13:47,993
Six loaves!
240
00:13:48,077 --> 00:13:49,620
And a pie, not too crushed!
241
00:13:52,332 --> 00:13:53,707
This bread's fine. I wouldn't be surprised
242
00:13:53,791 --> 00:13:55,167
if wasn't more than three days old.
243
00:13:55,251 --> 00:13:56,752
Is that all, Mom? Can we go now?
244
00:13:56,836 --> 00:13:58,003
Yes, you're free.
245
00:13:58,087 --> 00:13:59,755
(NEELEY WHISTLING)
246
00:14:03,801 --> 00:14:04,843
Where's the fire?
247
00:14:04,928 --> 00:14:06,178
There's a scout for the Brooklyns around.
248
00:14:06,262 --> 00:14:07,804
They're looking for a catcher.
249
00:14:08,181 --> 00:14:10,057
Where are you going? No place much.
250
00:14:10,141 --> 00:14:12,267
Well, don't go dream walking crossing the
street.
251
00:14:26,616 --> 00:14:27,991
"Browning."
252
00:14:28,785 --> 00:14:30,953
"B
-U... Burton."
253
00:14:32,038 --> 00:14:33,580
Anatomy of Melancholy.
254
00:14:47,053 --> 00:14:49,846
Burton's Anatomy of Melancholy.
255
00:14:59,899 --> 00:15:02,025
Burton's Anatomy of Melancholy?
256
00:15:02,443 --> 00:15:03,443
Are you sure you want this?
257
00:15:03,528 --> 00:15:04,528
Yes, ma'am.
258
00:15:04,612 --> 00:15:06,238
Don't you think it's a trifle over your
head?
259
00:15:06,322 --> 00:15:07,447
Yes, ma'am.
260
00:15:07,532 --> 00:15:08,657
Well, then, why did you select it?
261
00:15:09,576 --> 00:15:13,412
Well, I've read all the authors beginning
with "A"
262
00:15:13,496 --> 00:15:16,373
and all the "B's" down to Burton. It's
next.
263
00:15:16,457 --> 00:15:19,418
You mean you're trying to read your way
straight through the library?
264
00:15:19,711 --> 00:15:20,711
Yes, ma'am.
265
00:15:20,795 --> 00:15:22,254
But a book like this, you'll only be
confused.
266
00:15:22,338 --> 00:15:24,840
Please. I wanna read clear through the
alphabet.
267
00:15:24,924 --> 00:15:27,009
I want to know everything in the world.
268
00:15:27,844 --> 00:15:29,136
Well...
269
00:15:31,180 --> 00:15:34,808
All right. Only do something for me, will
you?
270
00:15:35,393 --> 00:15:37,561
Take another book, too. Here.
271
00:15:37,645 --> 00:15:40,606
When Knighthood Was in Flower, just for
fun.
272
00:15:40,690 --> 00:15:43,609
It's Saturday. I'll have a headache
thinking about you
273
00:15:43,693 --> 00:15:46,528
wrestling with The Anatomy of Melancholy
all weekend.
274
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:48,447
Will you?
275
00:15:49,032 --> 00:15:50,240
Yes, ma'am.
276
00:16:01,669 --> 00:16:03,754
WOMAN: A little more to the left, Mr.
Crackenbox!
277
00:16:03,838 --> 00:16:05,797
You think I want Mrs. Whittely's baby
clothes?
278
00:16:05,882 --> 00:16:07,591
It's your wash, your baby.
279
00:16:07,717 --> 00:16:09,426
Don't forget to fix mine, Mr. Crackenbox!
280
00:16:09,552 --> 00:16:11,136
(WOMEN CLAMORING)
281
00:16:11,220 --> 00:16:13,722
Maybe you'd like to come up here and fix
it yourselves
282
00:16:13,806 --> 00:16:16,725
and that's just what you'll be doing if
you don't shut up!
283
00:16:26,569 --> 00:16:30,238
WOMAN: Mr. Crackenbox, it still sags!
284
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:35,410
Now, Mr. Crackenbox, get it just a little
bit higher, if you don't mind.
285
00:16:35,495 --> 00:16:36,828

MAN: (SINGING) ...her wheelbarrow
287
00:16:42,543 --> 00:16:44,753
Through streets broad and narrow
288
00:16:45,213 --> 00:16:49,299
Crying cockles and mussels, alive, alive
-O
289
00:16:49,384 --> 00:16:50,342
I won, I won!
290
00:16:50,426 --> 00:16:52,344
Well, now, I wouldn't be too sure about
that if I was you.
291
00:16:52,428 --> 00:16:54,763
But I did! I got it open before you
finished and that's the rules.
292
00:16:54,847 --> 00:16:57,140
But I came up one flight two steps at a
time before I remembered.
293
00:16:57,225 --> 00:16:58,183
Don't that make a difference?
294
00:16:58,267 --> 00:16:59,309
No, sir. The rules...
295
00:16:59,394 --> 00:17:01,186
And in a manner of speaking, you never
did stop me at all
296
00:17:01,270 --> 00:17:02,813
because my heart kept right on singing.
297
00:17:03,356 --> 00:17:04,523
Papa, you're joking.
298
00:17:04,607 --> 00:17:05,941
Well, I guess I'll let you get away
299
00:17:06,025 --> 00:17:07,401
with winning this time, prima donna.
300
00:17:07,527 --> 00:17:09,444
And where's your beautiful mama?
Finishing the hall.
301
00:17:09,529 --> 00:17:11,363
She must be on the top floor or she'd
have heard you.
302
00:17:11,447 --> 00:17:13,824
Well, in that case, why ain't you getting
busy?
303
00:17:13,908 --> 00:17:15,450
Why ain't you laying out my clothes?
304
00:17:15,535 --> 00:17:17,202
Papa, you always make fun.
305
00:17:17,286 --> 00:17:18,870
You know you haven't any more clothes.
306
00:17:18,955 --> 00:17:20,497
Haven't any more clothes?
307
00:17:20,581 --> 00:17:22,124
What's this? A tie.
308
00:17:22,208 --> 00:17:24,334
And this? And this? A dickey. An apron.
309
00:17:24,419 --> 00:17:27,212
Them's clothes, ain't they? And you'd
better be getting that apron ironed, too.
310
00:17:27,296 --> 00:17:28,880
Papa, you got a job for tonight?
311
00:17:28,965 --> 00:17:30,173
You see the palm of that hand?
312
00:17:30,258 --> 00:17:31,633
That's right where I got the world tonight.
313
00:17:31,718 --> 00:17:32,759
Where's the job, Papa?
314
00:17:32,844 --> 00:17:34,594
Klommer's. A big wedding party.
315
00:17:34,679 --> 00:17:37,055
And you know something, prima donna?
There'll be plenty of tips.
316
00:17:37,140 --> 00:17:38,682
Singing or waiting? Both.
317
00:17:38,766 --> 00:17:40,392
Maybe tonight will be it.
318
00:17:40,476 --> 00:17:43,145
Maybe tonight he'll be there, the
impresario.
319
00:17:43,229 --> 00:17:45,397
And he'll hear you sing, and he'll put
you on the stage.
320
00:17:45,481 --> 00:17:47,399
And why not? Ain't I the Brooklyn Thrush?
321
00:17:47,483 --> 00:17:49,568
Papa!
322
00:17:49,652 --> 00:17:51,903
And now you'd better be getting my apron
ironed.
323
00:17:51,988 --> 00:17:54,239
Have it in a jiffy, Papa. The coffee's on.
324
00:17:54,323 --> 00:17:55,657
That's my prima donna.
325
00:17:56,325 --> 00:17:59,828
(SINGING) Early one morning I heard a
maiden singing
326
00:18:01,497 --> 00:18:02,497
(CALLING)
327
00:18:03,332 --> 00:18:05,417
Oh, Papa, I can't sing.
328
00:18:05,501 --> 00:18:07,544
Come on, now. You're holding up the
singing.
329
00:18:07,670 --> 00:18:11,882
(SINGING) Oh, don't deceive me Oh, never
leave me
330
00:18:12,175 --> 00:18:14,134
And better singing I never did hear.
331
00:18:14,552 --> 00:18:16,178
I love to iron for you, Papa.
332
00:18:16,262 --> 00:18:18,180
You know something, a day like this
333
00:18:18,264 --> 00:18:19,931
is just like somebody gave you a present.
334
00:18:20,016 --> 00:18:21,516
Everything just right.
335
00:18:22,685 --> 00:18:24,853
I wonder what people did before they
invented coffee.
336
00:18:26,022 --> 00:18:28,356
This sure could be a fine world if...
337
00:18:30,568 --> 00:18:32,611
Hey, you know something, prima donna?
338
00:18:32,695 --> 00:18:34,946
You're going to make somebody a mighty
fine wife someday.
339
00:18:35,031 --> 00:18:36,072
Papa!
340
00:18:36,157 --> 00:18:40,368
And very pretty, too. That is, if your
nose doesn't grow crooked.
341
00:18:40,995 --> 00:18:43,205
Could it really? Honest?
342
00:18:44,207 --> 00:18:46,625
No. It's the prettiest nose in all
Brooklyn.
343
00:18:46,709 --> 00:18:48,001
Papa, it isn't.
344
00:18:48,085 --> 00:18:49,127
Who says it isn't?
345
00:18:49,212 --> 00:18:51,129
You just tell me who said it and I'll
take care of him.
346
00:18:51,714 --> 00:18:53,799
Papa, you're crazy. And you know
something else?
347
00:18:53,883 --> 00:18:56,760
You're not gonna be ironing like this
when that impresario comes along.
348
00:18:56,844 --> 00:18:58,845
Things are gonna be different around
here. You wait and see.
349
00:18:58,930 --> 00:19:00,222
Yes, Papa. Hey.
350
00:19:00,306 --> 00:19:01,598
What's the wish you wish the most
351
00:19:01,682 --> 00:19:03,016
when our ship comes sailing in?
352
00:19:03,476 --> 00:19:05,101
Well, it already came true.
353
00:19:05,186 --> 00:19:06,728
What is it? Come on and tell me.
354
00:19:07,522 --> 00:19:10,398
Well, I wished that when you came home
today
355
00:19:10,858 --> 00:19:12,734
you wouldn't be sick.
356
00:19:17,573 --> 00:19:19,908
Who told you to call it "sick," baby?
357
00:19:20,284 --> 00:19:23,161
You shouldn't waste your wishes on things
like that.
358
00:19:23,246 --> 00:19:26,873
You should be saving them for a silk
dress or something.
359
00:19:27,625 --> 00:19:29,376
Haven't you got a better wish than that?
360
00:19:29,669 --> 00:19:31,586
Well... Come on.
361
00:19:31,671 --> 00:19:34,506
Well, I hope Mama won't be too mad with
Aunt Sissy.
362
00:19:34,841 --> 00:19:36,299
What about Aunt Sissy?
363
00:19:36,384 --> 00:19:40,262
She's gone and got herself another
husband again.

No! (LAUGHS)

No! Gee, if there isn't a woman for you.
366
00:19:46,018 --> 00:19:48,144
Hey. What did your mama say?
367
00:19:48,229 --> 00:19:49,604
Well, she didn't like it.
368
00:19:49,689 --> 00:19:51,189
Yeah. I can imagine that.
369
00:19:52,441 --> 00:19:54,359
Couldn't you sort of say something to her,
370
00:19:54,443 --> 00:19:56,319
not to be too mad to Aunt Sissy?
371
00:19:57,029 --> 00:19:58,738
That I could, prima donna, and that I will.
372
00:19:58,823 --> 00:20:00,407
Thank you, Papa.
373
00:20:00,741 --> 00:20:03,577
Now, haven't you got just one little wish
for yourself?
374
00:20:04,704 --> 00:20:07,205
Just one wish just for you?
375
00:20:08,416 --> 00:20:11,710
Well, did you see it, Papa? What?
376
00:20:11,794 --> 00:20:14,921
Out the window, our tree, they've killed
it!
377
00:20:18,926 --> 00:20:21,845
Well, will you look at that, now?
378
00:20:21,929 --> 00:20:24,639
They didn't have any right to kill it,
did they, Papa?
379
00:20:26,225 --> 00:20:28,894
Now, wait a minute. They didn't kill it.
380
00:20:29,020 --> 00:20:31,605
Why, they couldn't kill that tree. Honest?
381
00:20:31,689 --> 00:20:33,231
Why, sure, baby.
382
00:20:33,316 --> 00:20:35,817
Don't tell me that tree's gonna lay down
and die that easy.
383
00:20:36,986 --> 00:20:39,237
Look at that tree. See where it's coming
from?
384
00:20:39,322 --> 00:20:40,655
Right up out of the cement.
385
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:44,910
Didn't nobody plant it. It didn't ask the
cement could it grow.
386
00:20:44,994 --> 00:20:46,369
It just couldn't help growing so much,
387
00:20:46,454 --> 00:20:48,121
it pushed that old cement right out of
the way.
388
00:20:48,205 --> 00:20:50,707
But when you're busting with something
like that, can't anybody help it.

And he certainly didn't take any lessons.
394
00:21:04,931 --> 00:21:07,974
He's so full of singing it's just got to
bust out someplace.
395
00:21:08,059 --> 00:21:10,602
Why, they could cut that old tree right
down to the ground
396
00:21:10,686 --> 00:21:13,063
and a root would push up someplace else
in the cement.

You wait till spring, prima donna, and
you'll see.

Well, this ain't winning the family
bread, huh?

Come on. Ain't you got one nice, little
wish just for yourself?
400

No, Papa. I just...

Just what?
402
00:21:33,542 --> 00:21:35,794

Listen.

If I make a lot of tips tonight, you know
what I'm gonna do?
406
00:21:48,599 --> 00:21:50,016
What, Papa?
407
00:21:50,101 --> 00:21:53,186
I'm gonna put two bucks on the nose of a
horse I know is running Monday.
408
00:21:53,980 --> 00:21:56,898
And I'll win 10. Then I'll put it on
another horse.

If I use my head and I'm lucky,
410
00:21:59,068 --> 00:22:00,902
I'll run it up to 500 bucks.

Then you know what I'm gonna do? What,
Papa?

Don't you get fresh with me tonight, Mrs.
Nolan.

comes up.

graduate?

started. Lots of things like that.

Will I have a white dress when I graduate?
505
00:26:07,650 --> 00:26:10,360
We'll see. Neeley will probably have to
have shoes by that time.
506
00:26:10,486 --> 00:26:12,445

It's just because he's a boy. All right,
Mama.

brother can be happy with new shoes.

00:26:31,757 --> 00:26:33,549
And a couple of magazines from the
dentist's.
516
00:26:33,634 --> 00:26:35,760
What does he need 'em for or me, either.
517
00:26:35,844 --> 00:26:38,263
I can't read like my educated little
niece here.
518
00:26:38,347 --> 00:26:39,597
Hello, Katie, my darling.
519
00:26:41,684 --> 00:26:43,268
Good evening, Sissy.
520
00:26:48,357 --> 00:26:51,192
Well, you look fine, Katie.
521
00:26:51,735 --> 00:26:54,153
Yeah, I look fine.
522
00:26:54,863 --> 00:26:56,322
Who spilled the beans?
523
00:26:56,407 --> 00:26:58,700
I forgot. It was old Barker's day here.
524
00:26:58,784 --> 00:27:01,494
Where's Johnny? I was kinda counting on
him to be in my corner.
525
00:27:01,578 --> 00:27:02,954
Sure. You and Johnny.
526
00:27:03,038 --> 00:27:04,247
Look, Katie, I didn't tell you
527
00:27:04,331 --> 00:27:05,707
because I wanted to bring Bill around.
528
00:27:05,791 --> 00:27:08,876
But I couldn't. He's home sleeping. He's
a milkman, see?
529
00:27:09,795 --> 00:27:13,548
Listen. You're gonna wish me happiness,
ain't you?
530
00:27:14,341 --> 00:27:17,593
Naturally, I'm going to wish you
happiness this time, too.
531
00:27:18,053 --> 00:27:20,346
Golly, why can't you skip to the part
where you forgive me?
532
00:27:20,431 --> 00:27:21,889
You're going to before you're through.
533
00:27:21,974 --> 00:27:23,391
You know I'll get around to you in the end.
534
00:27:23,475 --> 00:27:25,727
Why can't you just be human now and get
it over with?
535
00:27:26,270 --> 00:27:29,856
There ain't no one like you to get around
a person in the whole world,
536
00:27:29,940 --> 00:27:31,149
unless it's Johnny.
537
00:27:31,233 --> 00:27:33,401
You're in time for pie. Go on now and sit
down!
538
00:27:33,485 --> 00:27:36,237
That's more like it. That's my kid sister
talking.
539
00:27:36,322 --> 00:27:39,657
Just coffee for me. I gotta get home soon
and fix breakfast for Bill.
540
00:27:39,742 --> 00:27:42,160
Breakfast? At night? Yeah. Ain't it a riot?
541
00:27:42,244 --> 00:27:45,079
We sleep all day long with the shades
pulled down to keep out the sun
542
00:27:45,164 --> 00:27:47,165
and the windows shut to keep out the noise.
543
00:27:47,249 --> 00:27:49,042
It's fun. You don't live like nobody else.
544
00:27:49,126 --> 00:27:50,376
No, you sure don't.
545
00:27:50,461 --> 00:27:53,629
Easy on the whip, kid. Wait till you meet
my Bill. You and him will...
546
00:27:53,714 --> 00:27:56,716
Wouldn't you marry nobody if they wasn't
named Bill, Aunt Sis?
547
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,260
She might not remember them if they wasn't.
548
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:03,056
Bill's got some other name. Steve, I
think it is.
549
00:28:03,140 --> 00:28:04,349
But I always liked Bill.
550
00:28:04,433 --> 00:28:06,809
A good man's name with no stuck
-up about it.
551
00:28:07,478 --> 00:28:09,520
You'll be crazy about him, Katie. Yeah?
552
00:28:09,605 --> 00:28:12,065
But the question is how will him and you
get along?
553
00:28:12,149 --> 00:28:14,984
It's wrong, Sissy. I mean, the others...
554
00:28:15,069 --> 00:28:16,152
The others was wrong.
555
00:28:16,236 --> 00:28:17,862
What's right about keeping on with a guy
556
00:28:17,946 --> 00:28:19,197
when you don't love each other anymore?
557
00:28:19,281 --> 00:28:20,573
KATIE: But it ain't as easy as that.
558
00:28:20,657 --> 00:28:23,618
I think Aunt Sissy's right about when
love is dead.
559
00:28:25,079 --> 00:28:26,454
Now, look what you started.
560
00:28:26,538 --> 00:28:28,581
It ain't nothing to talk about in front
of them.
561
00:28:28,665 --> 00:28:30,792
Every time you come here, you fill their
heads with...
562
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:36,798
Go on downstairs for a while, kids.
563
00:28:36,882 --> 00:28:38,257
Your mama's got a spanking up her sleeve
564
00:28:38,342 --> 00:28:39,926
and she ain't gonna feel right until
somebody gets it.
565
00:28:40,010 --> 00:28:41,594
Might as well get it over with.
566
00:28:43,806 --> 00:28:46,432
You don't wanna frown like that, snuggle
pup.
567
00:28:47,226 --> 00:28:49,143
The fellas don't go for that at all.
568
00:28:57,611 --> 00:28:59,487
All right, kid. Let's have it, the works.
569
00:28:59,571 --> 00:29:01,614
I'm a disgrace. You don't know what
you're gonna do with me.
570
00:29:01,698 --> 00:29:02,824
You can hardly face the neighbors
571
00:29:02,908 --> 00:29:03,991
with what they must be saying.
572
00:29:04,076 --> 00:29:05,410
I'm old enough to know better.
573
00:29:05,494 --> 00:29:06,744
Go on. Get it all off your chest,
574
00:29:06,829 --> 00:29:07,995
then we can make up and forget about it.
575
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:11,082
That's right. Talk your way out of it.
You probably will, too.
576
00:29:11,166 --> 00:29:12,291
What'd Mama have to say?
577
00:29:12,376 --> 00:29:13,668
You know Mama. She don't say much.
578
00:29:13,752 --> 00:29:15,420
Sure. I know Mama.
579
00:29:15,504 --> 00:29:17,463
"Sissy is bad only where the men are
concerned,
580
00:29:17,548 --> 00:29:19,090
"but she's good in her heart."
581
00:29:19,174 --> 00:29:21,926
But that ain't it, Sissy. People got a
right to talk.
582
00:29:22,010 --> 00:29:24,262
And the kids are bound to hear, and it
ain't right for them.
583
00:29:24,346 --> 00:29:26,889
And you can get in trouble. You ain't
real sure what happened,
584
00:29:26,974 --> 00:29:28,266
and there's laws about...
585
00:29:28,350 --> 00:29:29,809
Katie, so help me, this time it's for
keeps.
586
00:29:30,352 --> 00:29:32,228
I ain't even gonna look at another guy.
587
00:29:32,312 --> 00:29:34,439
And as for the last one, he can't be alive
588
00:29:34,523 --> 00:29:36,232
or I would have heard from him.
589
00:29:36,316 --> 00:29:37,900
I've been pretty good.
590
00:29:37,985 --> 00:29:40,862
Seven years is a long time to wait around
not being married.
591
00:29:41,363 --> 00:29:44,866
They said all you had to wait was seven
years and I waited.
592
00:29:45,284 --> 00:29:46,409
For the life of me,
593
00:29:46,493 --> 00:29:47,952
I don't know what you're trying to talk
yourself into,
594
00:29:48,036 --> 00:29:49,454
but I got a feeling it ain't right.
595
00:29:49,538 --> 00:29:50,872
All I know is it can't be wrong,
596
00:29:50,956 --> 00:29:52,373
or I wouldn't feel like I do about it.
597
00:29:52,833 --> 00:29:55,168
I'm dumb, sure, but I know this much,
598
00:29:55,586 --> 00:29:58,171
if I feel bad about something, it's wrong.
599
00:29:58,630 --> 00:30:00,756
If I feel good, it's right.
600
00:30:02,092 --> 00:30:05,720
You wouldn't get it, Katie. You got all
the breaks I never had.
601
00:30:06,138 --> 00:30:08,306
You got the kids and you got a guy
602
00:30:08,390 --> 00:30:10,558
you're clear overboard about. You're lucky.
603
00:30:11,018 --> 00:30:13,227
Yeah, and where does crazy over somebody
get you?
604
00:30:14,062 --> 00:30:15,855
It don't put no pennies in the bank.
605
00:30:16,273 --> 00:30:18,566
It don't buy no clothes for the kids to
go to school in.
606
00:30:19,902 --> 00:30:22,403
Maybe you got it better not sticking to
one guy.
607
00:30:24,072 --> 00:30:26,741
I wish, sometimes, I wasn't so crazy over
him.
608
00:30:26,825 --> 00:30:27,909
Hey, Katie.
609
00:30:27,993 --> 00:30:30,161
I won't have the kids taking after him,
either.
610
00:30:30,245 --> 00:30:33,831
Him and those dreamy ways of his I used
to think were so fine.
611
00:30:33,916 --> 00:30:36,083
Not if I gotta cut it right out of their
hearts!
612
00:30:36,710 --> 00:30:38,085
Katie, what are you saying?
613
00:30:40,839 --> 00:30:42,256
I don't know.
614
00:30:43,008 --> 00:30:44,592
Yes, you do. You're saying plenty.
615
00:30:46,345 --> 00:30:47,678
What's happened between you and Johnny?
616
00:30:48,514 --> 00:30:49,889
I don't know what I'm saying.
617
00:30:49,973 --> 00:30:51,766
I don't know what's come over me.
618
00:30:51,892 --> 00:30:53,601
Look, hon, it's time we found out.
619
00:30:53,727 --> 00:30:55,561
Sure we got something to talk about now.
I don't wanna.
620
00:30:55,646 --> 00:30:58,105
Uh
-uh. You're the kid sister. You listen now.
621
00:30:59,107 --> 00:31:01,400
You was awful crazy about Johnny.
622
00:31:01,485 --> 00:31:03,152
Don't tell me. I seen you.
623
00:31:03,237 --> 00:31:05,029
It was like every woman wants to be with
a guy.
624
00:31:05,113 --> 00:31:06,447
Yeah. All right,
625
00:31:07,533 --> 00:31:09,450
maybe Johnny didn't turn out just like
you figured.
626
00:31:09,868 --> 00:31:13,996
Sure, he drinks and all, and you're the
one who's had to make most of the living,
627
00:31:14,081 --> 00:31:15,790
but everybody's got something.
628
00:31:16,333 --> 00:31:17,625
And you wasn't crazy about Johnny
629
00:31:17,709 --> 00:31:18,960
because he was gonna be a banker.
630
00:31:19,419 --> 00:31:21,837
It was on account of...
631
00:31:21,922 --> 00:31:23,839
Well, on account of how he laughed
632
00:31:24,716 --> 00:31:27,718
and how you felt walking down the street
holding on to him
633
00:31:27,803 --> 00:31:29,720
and having other women look at you.
634
00:31:29,972 --> 00:31:32,557
And the way he could talk about things
635
00:31:33,850 --> 00:31:36,435
and the way he had of saying hello to
everybody
636
00:31:37,020 --> 00:31:38,938
like he was giving away something.
637
00:31:39,815 --> 00:31:41,941
That's what you was crazy about, and that
ain't changed.
638
00:31:43,318 --> 00:31:46,654
I don't know. Them things couldn't change
in Johnny,
639
00:31:47,823 --> 00:31:49,365
not even if he tried.
640
00:31:50,492 --> 00:31:54,328
He's just different, kinda. He always was.
641
00:31:55,831 --> 00:31:57,206
But he ain't changed.
642
00:31:59,501 --> 00:32:02,962
If there's been any changing, hon, maybe
it's you.
643
00:32:04,506 --> 00:32:07,508
You still got all you was crazy over,
ain't you?
644
00:32:08,010 --> 00:32:09,051
Yeah.
645
00:32:09,136 --> 00:32:11,095
Then thank your lucky stars for what you
got, Katie Nolan,
646
00:32:11,179 --> 00:32:12,763
and take the rest along with it!
647
00:32:12,848 --> 00:32:17,184
And you got a lot, you can take it from
me. Don't think you haven't.
648
00:32:19,855 --> 00:32:23,274
I might have known, starting out to take
you apart,
649
00:32:23,358 --> 00:32:25,901
I'd wind up with you making me over.
650
00:32:27,237 --> 00:32:28,321
Nice going.
651
00:32:29,239 --> 00:32:32,199
Don't stir yourself, pal. Thank you.
652
00:32:32,284 --> 00:32:33,367
Better go inside, Alfred.
653
00:32:33,535 --> 00:32:34,619
How'd you come out, Aunt Sis?
654
00:32:34,703 --> 00:32:38,456
No decision. It was a draw. Your mom's
bark is worse than her bite.
655
00:32:38,540 --> 00:32:42,627
Look, tell me something. When Papa's
home, I bet...
656
00:32:42,711 --> 00:32:45,004
I bet him and Mama laugh aplenty, don't
they?
657
00:32:45,088 --> 00:32:46,797
You know, like they always did?
658
00:32:46,882 --> 00:32:49,967
Sure. Pop can make anybody laugh when he
wants to,
659
00:32:50,052 --> 00:32:51,385
except when he's drunk.
660
00:32:51,470 --> 00:32:53,346
"Sick," Neeley, Mama said to call it!
661
00:32:53,430 --> 00:32:54,639
Okay. "Sick," then.
662
00:32:54,723 --> 00:32:57,808
Look, hon. Tell you what you can do for me.
663
00:32:57,893 --> 00:32:59,477
Do all the laughing you can.
664
00:32:59,561 --> 00:33:01,520
You know, keeps everybody healthy.
665
00:33:01,605 --> 00:33:02,647
Okay.
666
00:33:02,731 --> 00:33:05,107
Laughter is the singing of the angels.
667
00:33:05,192 --> 00:33:08,653
You're a funny kid, head full of all them
things,
668
00:33:08,737 --> 00:33:10,029
kinda like your pop.
669
00:33:10,113 --> 00:33:11,864
She tells lies like Pop, too.
670
00:33:11,948 --> 00:33:13,157
He does not tell lies!
671
00:33:13,241 --> 00:33:14,325
Well, I don't know what you call 'em.
672
00:33:14,409 --> 00:33:15,451
Time out!
673
00:33:15,535 --> 00:33:18,245
I've had enough battling to last me for
today. Where did you get the skates?
674
00:33:18,330 --> 00:33:21,040
They aren't ours. Papa said he'd get us
some, though.
675
00:33:21,124 --> 00:33:23,501
He didn't mean it. He just said that.
676
00:33:23,585 --> 00:33:25,378
He did, too, mean it, Neeley Nolan, and...
677
00:33:25,462 --> 00:33:27,254
Easy now!
678
00:33:27,339 --> 00:33:29,507
Kinda like your pop, don't you, hon?
679
00:33:29,591 --> 00:33:32,093
He does mean it, doesn't he, Aunt Sissy?
680
00:33:32,177 --> 00:33:35,012
Sure, he means it. He means it, every word.
681
00:33:36,098 --> 00:33:39,308
But, well, you know, sometimes things
happen.
682
00:33:39,976 --> 00:33:42,436
But it kinda ain't his fault. He...
683
00:33:42,938 --> 00:33:44,021
I tell you what.
684
00:33:44,106 --> 00:33:47,400
Let's make out like Johnny gave you them
skates like he said and they're yours.
685
00:33:47,484 --> 00:33:49,068
Ain't gonna hurt nobody. Aunt Sissy!
686
00:33:49,152 --> 00:33:51,195
No sense in them things standin' around
and nobody usin' them.
687
00:33:51,279 --> 00:33:52,279
Come on.
688
00:33:54,700 --> 00:33:57,660
Here we go. Easy now.
689
00:33:57,744 --> 00:33:58,911
Isn't that fun? Huh?
690
00:33:58,995 --> 00:34:00,287
Can I put them on next, Aunt Sissy?
691
00:34:00,497 --> 00:34:02,373
Sure, you can. Mama! Mama! Mama!
692
00:34:02,457 --> 00:34:03,958
Hey! You come back here with my skates!
693
00:34:04,042 --> 00:34:05,543
She's not gonna hurt 'em.
694
00:34:05,627 --> 00:34:06,877
Bring back my daughter's skates!
695
00:34:06,962 --> 00:34:08,421
You was the one that put them kids up to
it!
696
00:34:08,505 --> 00:34:10,715
Easy now! Nobody's hurt. We only borrowed
them.
697
00:34:10,799 --> 00:34:12,133
She's not going off with them, Effie!
698
00:34:12,217 --> 00:34:14,385
Don't you dare take up with that woman
like that!
699
00:34:14,469 --> 00:34:16,721
You poor little guy. Do you put up with
that all the time?
700
00:34:16,805 --> 00:34:18,139
(WOMEN CLAMORING)
701
00:34:18,223 --> 00:34:19,598
Hey, Officer! Come on over here!
702
00:34:19,683 --> 00:34:20,766
Now this woman here, she tried to...
703
00:34:20,851 --> 00:34:22,017
Break it up. Take it easy.
704
00:34:22,102 --> 00:34:23,686
I'm sure glad you come along, handsome.
705
00:34:23,770 --> 00:34:26,313
You look like you could whip a bunch of
women into line.
706
00:34:26,398 --> 00:34:28,566
Well, that's fine, but now I suppose
somebody tells me
707
00:34:28,650 --> 00:34:30,109
what all the excitement's about.
708
00:34:30,193 --> 00:34:31,736
She tried to steal my little girl's skates!
709
00:34:31,820 --> 00:34:33,112
She tried to nab her.
710
00:34:33,196 --> 00:34:35,239
We only borrowed them for just a minute.
Honest.
711
00:34:35,323 --> 00:34:36,907
That's right. There wasn't nobody using
them.
712
00:34:36,992 --> 00:34:40,161
And a little fun and frolic on a Saturday
never hurt nobody.
713
00:34:40,245 --> 00:34:41,912
Bet you know all about that, don't ya?

of it making eyes at the law...

(CLAMORING)
716
00:34:48,462 --> 00:34:50,421
I don't know what the world's coming to!
717
00:34:50,505 --> 00:34:51,630
Get back a little bit, buddy, huh?
718
00:34:51,715 --> 00:34:52,798
This lady is my sister.
719
00:34:52,883 --> 00:34:56,218
She didn't mean any harm, I'm quite sure
she didn't.
720
00:34:58,847 --> 00:35:01,307
Well, as far as I can see, there's been
no harm done.
721
00:35:01,391 --> 00:35:04,143
Now, just break it up. Run along. Go to
your homes.
722
00:35:04,227 --> 00:35:08,314
Go on. You, too. Go on, buddy. Run along.
723
00:35:11,401 --> 00:35:13,611
Now, suppose I see you women to your home?
724
00:35:13,695 --> 00:35:15,362
Thanks, handsome.
725
00:35:24,206 --> 00:35:26,624
My sister's always trying to be funny,
Officer.
726
00:35:26,708 --> 00:35:28,959
She don't mean nothin' by it.
727
00:35:29,044 --> 00:35:30,586
I'd like you to know this is the first time
728
00:35:30,670 --> 00:35:33,881
that any of my family ever got into any
trouble on the street.
729
00:35:37,385 --> 00:35:40,387
And I'll see to it that it don't happen
again.
730
00:35:41,014 --> 00:35:43,057
I guess I know a lady when I see one,
ma'am.
731
00:35:43,141 --> 00:35:46,143
I'm glad I've been of service to you,
ma'am.
732
00:35:47,145 --> 00:35:49,897
He sure took a shine to you, Katie.
733
00:35:49,981 --> 00:35:51,816
Go on. Who'd look at me?
734
00:35:51,900 --> 00:35:53,275
He would.
735
00:35:53,860 --> 00:35:56,737
Funny. Sometimes you kinda forget you are
a woman.
736
00:35:56,822 --> 00:35:58,322
He wasn't gonna arrest us, Mama.
737
00:35:58,406 --> 00:35:59,740
Aunt Sissy talked him out of it.
738
00:35:59,825 --> 00:36:03,869
And we got to skate on them anyway,
didn't we, Aunt Sissy?
739
00:36:03,954 --> 00:36:06,664
You go inside and tell Sheila and her
mama you're sorry.
740
00:36:06,748 --> 00:36:08,457
Do I have to, Mama?
741
00:36:13,421 --> 00:36:15,840
I don't like to say to you what I'm going
to, Sissy.
742
00:36:15,924 --> 00:36:18,467
Golly, are we gonna start that again?
743
00:36:18,552 --> 00:36:20,511
You're the only sister I got.
744
00:36:21,137 --> 00:36:24,515
I don't care what people say about you
for myself,
745
00:36:24,599 --> 00:36:25,850
but I got the kids to worry about,
746
00:36:25,934 --> 00:36:28,018
and if I don't worry about them, nobody
else will.
747
00:36:30,230 --> 00:36:33,065
Well, you're bad for them, Sissy.
748
00:36:33,942 --> 00:36:36,277
What are you trying to say, kid?
749
00:36:37,404 --> 00:36:39,280
I don't want you to come around here no
more.
750
00:36:39,364 --> 00:36:40,865
My mind's made up, so don't try to change
it
751
00:36:40,949 --> 00:36:43,033
with any of that soft talk of yours.
752
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:48,372
Why, I won't, Katie, not if you mean it.
753
00:36:48,456 --> 00:36:51,208
But let's keep on talking about you.
754
00:36:51,293 --> 00:36:54,211
Soft's one thing, but hard's another.
755
00:36:54,296 --> 00:36:56,922
All right, it ain't nice to be hard.
756
00:36:57,799 --> 00:36:59,300
But my kids is gonna be somebody
757
00:36:59,384 --> 00:37:02,386
if I gotta turn into granite rock to make
'em!
758
00:37:04,222 --> 00:37:05,931
I wish you hadn't said that, kid.
759
00:37:09,477 --> 00:37:10,603
Bye, Katie.
760
00:37:18,028 --> 00:37:21,405
"And Nahor lived nine and 20 years and
begat Terah.
761
00:37:21,489 --> 00:37:25,659
"And Nahor lived after he begat Terah 119
years."
762
00:37:25,744 --> 00:37:27,661
Boy. That's older than Grandma, ain't it?
763
00:37:27,746 --> 00:37:29,496
"And begat sons and daughters."
764
00:37:29,581 --> 00:37:31,832
Okay. That's the end of the page. "Troilus.
765
00:37:31,917 --> 00:37:34,335

"Troilus. 'Beshrew the witch! With
venomous..."'
769
00:37:41,301 --> 00:37:43,427
That ain't even English! It is, too!
770
00:37:43,511 --> 00:37:45,304
Shakespeare wrote the best English of
anybody!
771
00:37:45,388 --> 00:37:48,474
All right, then you tell me what it
means, you're so smart.
772
00:37:48,558 --> 00:37:50,684
I didn't say I know what it means. I said
I liked it.
773
00:37:50,769 --> 00:37:51,810
That'll do.
774
00:37:51,895 --> 00:37:54,063
Okay, but I bet you don't know what it
means, either.
775
00:37:54,147 --> 00:37:56,523
Maybe not, but I do know it's good for you.
776
00:37:56,608 --> 00:37:57,775
"Beshrew the witch! With venomous..."
777
00:37:57,859 --> 00:37:58,984
She don't know what it means.
778
00:37:59,069 --> 00:38:02,279
Mom don't know what it means. Grandma
can't even read.
779
00:38:02,364 --> 00:38:03,656
And gosh knows I don't know what it...
780
00:38:03,740 --> 00:38:05,032
Mama, I can't read if he...
781
00:38:05,116 --> 00:38:07,034
Just wasting time every night reading stuff
782
00:38:07,118 --> 00:38:09,286
nobody knows what it's all about.
783
00:38:09,371 --> 00:38:12,456
Now, listen. Your Aunt Sissy brought that
Bible
784
00:38:12,540 --> 00:38:14,792
all the way from Sheepshead Bay,
785
00:38:14,876 --> 00:38:18,337
and your papa blew in all his tips one
time on that Shakespeare
786
00:38:18,421 --> 00:38:20,047
'cause Grandma said they was the greatest
book
787
00:38:20,131 --> 00:38:24,051
and you should read from 'em every night,
so ya ain't gonna waste them.
788
00:38:24,135 --> 00:38:27,638
I don't know. Sometimes it does seem kind
of foolish,
789
00:38:28,264 --> 00:38:29,932
but it might get you somewhere.
790
00:38:30,016 --> 00:38:32,309
Might even get you a job someday, who can
tell?
791
00:38:32,394 --> 00:38:36,063
This reading will not stop. I say this
thing.
792
00:38:37,315 --> 00:38:42,194
To this new land, your grandfather and I
came very long ago now
793
00:38:42,904 --> 00:38:46,490
because we heard that here is something
very good.
794
00:38:46,992 --> 00:38:52,037
Hard we worked, very hard, but we could
not find this thing.
795
00:38:52,122 --> 00:38:57,376
For a long time, I do not understand, and
then I know.
796
00:38:57,460 --> 00:39:00,254
When I am old, I know.
797
00:39:01,131 --> 00:39:03,007
In that old country,
798
00:39:03,091 --> 00:39:07,761
a child can rise no higher than his
father's state.
799
00:39:08,304 --> 00:39:11,056
But here, in this place,
800
00:39:11,141 --> 00:39:16,770
each one is free to go as far as he's
good to make of himself.
801
00:39:17,147 --> 00:39:21,775
This way, the child can be better than
the parent
802
00:39:22,610 --> 00:39:26,155
and this is the true way things grow
better.
803
00:39:26,740 --> 00:39:31,035
And this has to do something with the
learning,
804
00:39:31,119 --> 00:39:34,621
which is here free to all people.
805
00:39:35,457 --> 00:39:38,125
I, who am old, miss this thing.
806
00:39:38,209 --> 00:39:40,461
My children miss this thing.
807
00:39:40,962 --> 00:39:44,840
But my children's children shall not miss
it.
808
00:39:44,924 --> 00:39:47,092
This reading will not stop.
809
00:39:50,388 --> 00:39:52,473
And, you, Katie.
810
00:39:54,559 --> 00:39:59,229
It is not only for the job that this is
good,
811
00:39:59,981 --> 00:40:03,692
but for the true things inside of us.
812
00:40:04,235 --> 00:40:06,904
You don't think well about this,
813
00:40:06,988 --> 00:40:09,573
nor about what you do with your sister.
814
00:40:10,950 --> 00:40:14,995
You have forgotten to think with your
heart.
815
00:40:16,122 --> 00:40:20,542
There is a coldness growing in you, Katie.
816

girls are so pretty

I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone
820
00:40:48,530 --> 00:40:50,864
As she wheeled her wheelbarrow

00:40:50,990 --> 00:40:53,325

00:41:07,715 --> 00:41:10,968
It's all right, Mama. I don't think he's
sick.

00:41:11,052 --> 00:41:13,512
Alive, alive
-O Alive, alive
-O

Papa!
828
00:41:14,806 --> 00:41:17,975
Well, what do you know? If it ain't my
beauty.
829
00:41:18,601 --> 00:41:22,271
Hey. What are you doing up this time of
night?
830
00:41:23,356 --> 00:41:25,983
I just made up my mind to wait up for you.
831
00:41:26,067 --> 00:41:28,068
I guess I ain't used to the hours anymore.
832
00:41:28,403 --> 00:41:30,404
No. Leave it. It's nice.
833
00:41:31,489 --> 00:41:32,656
Go on.
834
00:41:34,033 --> 00:41:35,075
Francie, coffee.
835
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:36,326
Is it something to eat, Papa?
836
00:41:36,411 --> 00:41:39,246
And what else, with me coming from a
grand banquet?
837
00:41:39,330 --> 00:41:41,373
I got some French rolls,
838
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:45,794
a whole half a broiled lobster from the
shores of Maryland,
839
00:41:46,421 --> 00:41:47,921
fried oysters,
840
00:41:48,339 --> 00:41:50,716
caviar from far
-off, sunny Russia,
841
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:54,511
and cheese from the mountain fastnesses
of la belle France.
842
00:41:56,764 --> 00:41:59,600
What do you know about the mountain
fastnesses of France?
843
00:41:59,684 --> 00:42:01,185
Is it better coming from there, Papa?
844
00:42:01,269 --> 00:42:02,895
Well, it's supposed to be mighty good,
845
00:42:02,979 --> 00:42:05,939
but coming home like this, I know that's
good.
846
00:42:06,357 --> 00:42:10,485
Well, let's eat it. No reason we
shouldn't have a party of our own.
847
00:42:14,449 --> 00:42:15,866
I'm hungry.

KATIE: Is that all you got to say to your
papa?
849
00:42:18,620 --> 00:42:19,745
Hello, Pop.
850
00:42:19,829 --> 00:42:22,706
His stomach's like the Irish Sea, no
bottom to it.
851
00:42:22,790 --> 00:42:24,833
Mama, your wedding comb!
852
00:42:25,710 --> 00:42:28,462
Well, ain't this a kind of weddin' party?
853
00:42:28,796 --> 00:42:30,422
(JOHNNY EXCLAIMS)
854
00:42:30,882 --> 00:42:32,049
You bet it is.
855
00:42:32,133 --> 00:42:34,760
I wish I could have swiped some champagne.
856
00:42:34,844 --> 00:42:37,304
Oh, no, I don't. Coffee's better.
857
00:42:37,388 --> 00:42:39,056
But, look who's telling me
858
00:42:39,140 --> 00:42:41,808
I don't know about them mountain
fastnesses of France.
859
00:42:41,893 --> 00:42:44,519
That. Yeah, that. Imagine you forgetting.
860
00:42:44,604 --> 00:42:48,398
Well, I didn't forget, not exactly. It
was a long time ago.
861
00:42:48,483 --> 00:42:49,775
What do you think of a mama that forgets
862
00:42:49,859 --> 00:42:51,068
where she went on her honeymoon?
863
00:42:51,152 --> 00:42:52,444
Did you really go there, Mama?
864
00:42:52,570 --> 00:42:53,820
Of course not. Your papa's joking.
865
00:42:53,905 --> 00:42:55,489
Sure we did, or just the same as.
866
00:42:55,573 --> 00:42:58,242
We spent our honeymoon in a school. It
was as big as a palace.
867
00:42:58,326 --> 00:43:01,078
We just worked there nights, the two of
us, cleaning.
868
00:43:01,162 --> 00:43:03,080
It was right here in Brooklyn, before you
was born.
869
00:43:03,164 --> 00:43:05,165
That ain't what you told me then.
870
00:43:05,250 --> 00:43:07,668
You mean to say when we was having our
supper there alone
871
00:43:07,752 --> 00:43:09,419
and I used to pull down them maps
872
00:43:09,504 --> 00:43:10,796
and take the teacher's pointer
873
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:12,756
and pick out the places we'd pretend we
was that night,
874
00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:14,925
you mean to say we really wasn't there?
875
00:43:15,009 --> 00:43:19,221
You mean you forgot that sunny France was
where we liked the best?
876
00:43:20,223 --> 00:43:22,432
And all the laughing we used to do there?
877
00:43:22,517 --> 00:43:25,310
You're gonna sit right down and tell me
we really wasn't there?
878
00:43:25,436 --> 00:43:28,188
Well, I guess we was kind of at that. And
you're gonna tell me
879
00:43:28,273 --> 00:43:30,732
I don't know about them mountain
fastnesses of France.
880
00:43:30,900 --> 00:43:32,150
Katie Nolan, I'm ashamed of you!
881
00:43:32,235 --> 00:43:34,152
Wasn't there nobody in school but you,
Papa?
882
00:43:34,237 --> 00:43:35,570
No, sir. We had the whole place
883
00:43:35,697 --> 00:43:37,239
to ourselves. Your papa better quit
talking,
884
00:43:37,323 --> 00:43:39,283
or he'll have you believing you was in
France, too.
885
00:43:39,367 --> 00:43:41,118
No, Papa. Talk some more!
886
00:43:41,202 --> 00:43:42,619
What's this here stuff?
887
00:43:42,704 --> 00:43:44,663
Caviar. That comes all the way from Russia.
888
00:43:44,747 --> 00:43:46,415
Them's fish eggs. Fish eggs!
889
00:43:46,874 --> 00:43:49,626
Yeah. I never could get it why they like
it, myself,
890
00:43:49,711 --> 00:43:51,461
except that it's hard to get and costs a
lot.
891
00:43:51,546 --> 00:43:52,754
And that makes it good, Papa?
892
00:43:52,839 --> 00:43:53,964
What about the Russians?
893
00:43:54,048 --> 00:43:56,216
It ain't hard for them to get. Do they
like it?
894
00:43:57,093 --> 00:44:01,096
Well, can you tie that? Now, ain't we got
the smartest kids?
895
00:44:01,180 --> 00:44:03,515
Papa, talk some more. Tell us all about
the party
896
00:44:03,599 --> 00:44:05,976
and don't leave out anything!
897
00:44:06,602 --> 00:44:08,103
That can wait.
898
00:44:09,522 --> 00:44:12,274
Here. How's that?
899
00:44:13,067 --> 00:44:14,443
$3. Them's good wages.
900
00:44:14,569 --> 00:44:15,944
And good tips, too.
901
00:44:16,029 --> 00:44:19,156
Papa, start! Was there music and did they
dance?
902
00:44:20,116 --> 00:44:22,576
Your mother's got no time for all that.
903
00:44:23,536 --> 00:44:28,081
You could tell me. You used to.
904
00:44:28,916 --> 00:44:31,710
Well, it was kind of nice.
905
00:44:31,794 --> 00:44:36,131
Klommer's, their best room, and all fixed
up with white flowers.
906
00:44:36,215 --> 00:44:37,674
There was flowers on the table,
907
00:44:37,759 --> 00:44:40,177
flowers on the chandelier and even on the
floor.
908
00:44:40,261 --> 00:44:42,054
Here was a great big horseshoe table
909
00:44:42,138 --> 00:44:43,847
with lots of people all around.
910
00:44:43,931 --> 00:44:46,266
And right in front, a great big wedding
cake!
911
00:44:46,351 --> 00:44:48,018
It must've been three feet tall.
912
00:44:48,102 --> 00:44:49,603
Why didn't you bring home some of that?
913
00:44:49,687 --> 00:44:50,854
Was the bride pretty?
914
00:44:50,938 --> 00:44:53,148
Well, she was maybe not so young, but...
915
00:44:54,525 --> 00:44:58,528
Sure! She was beautiful in a blue dress
and all.
916
00:44:58,613 --> 00:45:01,990
And she had diamonds on her fingers and
in her ears!
917
00:45:02,075 --> 00:45:03,367
And she glittered sort of.
918
00:45:03,451 --> 00:45:06,620
And when she walked, her dress swished
kinda.
919
00:45:07,372 --> 00:45:09,539
And the champagne just flowed like water.
920
00:45:09,624 --> 00:45:12,501
The smell of it got all mixed up with the
flowers
921
00:45:12,585 --> 00:45:14,294
and the powder the ladies wore,
922
00:45:14,379 --> 00:45:16,380
and it made a wonderful, new perfume
923
00:45:16,464 --> 00:45:18,423
that made you feel good just to smell it.
924
00:45:18,508 --> 00:45:19,716
Did you sing for them, Papa?
925
00:45:19,801 --> 00:45:21,218
I was coming to that.
926
00:45:21,302 --> 00:45:23,845
I got three encores for My Wild Irish Rose,
927
00:45:23,930 --> 00:45:25,722
and everybody clapped and clapped.
928
00:45:25,807 --> 00:45:28,683
Then I sang Irish Eyes are Smiling four
times!
929
00:45:28,768 --> 00:45:30,602
It must have been awful nice!
930
00:45:30,686 --> 00:45:31,895
It was all right.
931
00:45:31,979 --> 00:45:33,480
And when it come time for them to cut the
cake,
932
00:45:33,564 --> 00:45:35,065
the band played Kiss Me Again,
933
00:45:35,149 --> 00:45:38,402
she put her arms around him, and, boy,
did he look scared!
934
00:45:38,486 --> 00:45:40,278
What was he scared of, Papa?
935
00:45:40,363 --> 00:45:41,488
Huh?
936
00:45:43,324 --> 00:45:45,242
You kids ask too many questions. You
heard the story.
937
00:45:45,326 --> 00:45:48,078
Now go on and go to bed. It must be 3:00.
938
00:45:48,162 --> 00:45:49,287
I got a bellyache.
939
00:45:49,372 --> 00:45:51,248
Well, lay on your right side.
940
00:45:51,332 --> 00:45:53,291
Good night, Mom. Good night, Neeley.
941
00:45:53,376 --> 00:45:55,168
Good night, Francie.
942
00:45:56,170 --> 00:45:58,630
Francie's kinda mad at me because...
943
00:45:58,714 --> 00:46:00,924
Well, Sissy made a scene on the street
today
944
00:46:01,008 --> 00:46:03,301
and I asked her to stay away.
945
00:46:05,012 --> 00:46:07,764
Papa, was there an impresario there?
946
00:46:07,849 --> 00:46:10,308
No, not tonight, prima donna.
947
00:46:10,393 --> 00:46:13,228
But you got no call to be mad at your mama.
948
00:46:13,312 --> 00:46:16,481
She's always got a good reason for what
she does.
949
00:46:25,533 --> 00:46:27,534
Good night, Mama.
950
00:46:28,286 --> 00:46:30,287
Good night, Francie.
951
00:46:49,807 --> 00:46:52,893
Johnny, tell me what else happened at the
party.
952
00:46:53,978 --> 00:46:58,064
Well, it was nice, just like I told you.
953
00:46:59,108 --> 00:47:00,275
Awful nice.
954
00:47:00,359 --> 00:47:03,445
Johnny, do you think...
955
00:47:04,906 --> 00:47:07,824
I mean, have I changed a lot?
956
00:47:08,576 --> 00:47:10,952
Changed?
957
00:47:11,037 --> 00:47:13,788
Why, she couldn't hold a candle to you.
She ain't so hot.
958
00:47:13,873 --> 00:47:15,457
I just said that for the kids. No, sir.
959
00:47:15,541 --> 00:47:16,833
No. That's not what I mean.
960
00:47:16,918 --> 00:47:21,338
What I mean is am I getting hard, you know?
961
00:47:21,422 --> 00:47:25,425
Now, where did you grab onto an idea like
that? Hard?
962
00:47:25,510 --> 00:47:28,136
I don't know. I don't want to be,
963
00:47:28,221 --> 00:47:29,471
but, well, there's the kids and all,
964
00:47:29,555 --> 00:47:31,223
and I wanna do what's right for them,
965
00:47:31,307 --> 00:47:32,557
and maybe sometimes I...
966
00:47:32,642 --> 00:47:33,850
Will you stop talking like that?
967
00:47:33,935 --> 00:47:35,727
Why, you're prettier than you ever was!
968
00:47:35,811 --> 00:47:38,396
I almost told that to the whole bunch
down at the party tonight.
969
00:47:38,481 --> 00:47:40,190
I almost said, "You oughta see my bride
970
00:47:40,274 --> 00:47:42,192
"that's waiting home for me tonight."
971
00:47:42,276 --> 00:47:46,738
And you was waiting, Katie. That was
nice, awful nice.
972
00:47:47,865 --> 00:47:50,158
It was just like it used to be.
973
00:47:52,578 --> 00:47:55,872
You told about the party awful nice
tonight, Johnny.
974
00:47:57,291 --> 00:48:00,168
I should have waited up more often, I
guess.
975
00:48:01,587 --> 00:48:05,215
It ain't your fault, working hard like
you do.
976
00:48:06,926 --> 00:48:08,468
You know something?
977
00:48:08,678 --> 00:48:13,306
I wish I could have got you the rest of
that set when we was married.
978
00:48:13,391 --> 00:48:15,058
The guy said it came all the way from
Spain.
979
00:48:15,142 --> 00:48:17,060
What else was in that set, Johnny?
980
00:48:17,186 --> 00:48:19,062
You ain't told me for a long time.
981
00:48:19,146 --> 00:48:21,398
Two little side combs and a locket on a
chain.
982
00:48:22,191 --> 00:48:23,358
And a bracelet, you said?
983
00:48:23,484 --> 00:48:24,651
There's no use talking.
984
00:48:24,735 --> 00:48:25,902
Someday I'm gonna look that guy up
985
00:48:25,987 --> 00:48:27,195
and get you the rest of that set.
986
00:48:27,280 --> 00:48:28,572
That's nice, Johnny, but I...
987
00:48:28,656 --> 00:48:30,490
There's no "buts" about it. I mean it.
988
00:48:31,576 --> 00:48:34,077
Things are gonna be different around here.
989
00:48:34,161 --> 00:48:36,454
You ain't gonna be workin' hard like you
are now.
990
00:48:36,539 --> 00:48:37,747
I don't mind the work, Johnny.
991
00:48:37,832 --> 00:48:39,457
No, sir. I ain't gonna stand for it!
992
00:48:39,542 --> 00:48:40,792
Look at them pretty hands.
993
00:48:40,876 --> 00:48:43,670
They ain't got no business being in the
water all the time.
994
00:48:43,754 --> 00:48:45,922
I'm gonna change a lot of things around
here.
995
00:48:46,007 --> 00:48:47,799
I'm gonna cut out the drinking, too.
996
00:48:47,883 --> 00:48:49,884
And just to prove it to ya, here's my tip
money.
997
00:48:49,969 --> 00:48:52,929
No, keep your tips, Johnny. Take all a
man's money, it ain't right!
998
00:48:53,014 --> 00:48:54,764
And I'm gonna keep at 'em down at the
union headquarters
999
00:48:54,849 --> 00:48:56,224
to make 'em get me some jobs.
1000
00:48:56,309 --> 00:48:59,519
Yes, sir. Tonight's the beginning of
something new!
1001
00:48:59,604 --> 00:49:01,521
You believe me, don't you, Katie?
1002
00:49:01,689 --> 00:49:03,565
Yeah, Johnny. Yeah, sure, I do!
1003
00:49:03,649 --> 00:49:06,776
I'll be singing all over Brooklyn and
maybe Manhattan, too!
1004
00:49:06,861 --> 00:49:09,029
"Have you heard Johnny Nolan sing?"
They'll say.
1005
00:49:09,113 --> 00:49:10,405
And then maybe someday...
1006
00:49:10,489 --> 00:49:12,032
Johnny, stop it!
1007
00:49:12,116 --> 00:49:14,451
Stop it! Stop talking!
1008
00:49:25,171 --> 00:49:27,213
We ain't got a chance.
1009
00:49:28,507 --> 00:49:30,216
Who are we trying to kid?
1010
00:49:32,053 --> 00:49:33,178
Yeah.
1011
00:49:35,473 --> 00:49:40,435
Sure, you're right. Who am I trying to kid?
1012
00:49:41,562 --> 00:49:42,812
I didn't go to hurt you, Johnny,
1013
00:49:42,897 --> 00:49:44,397
but it's the truth, and I can't change it.
1014
00:49:45,441 --> 00:49:46,566
Yeah.
1015
00:49:48,110 --> 00:49:50,570
And I can tell you something else.
1016
00:49:52,073 --> 00:49:55,033
All that baloney about them encores
tonight,
1017
00:49:55,660 --> 00:49:58,370
that was just because they was a little
drunk and feeling good.
1018
00:49:58,829 --> 00:50:00,455
I wasn't so much.

change it.

He's my pop.
1031
00:50:52,466 --> 00:50:54,259
All right now, lad. Where do you live, huh?
1032
00:50:54,343 --> 00:50:56,344
I'll take him home! He's my father!
1033
00:50:56,429 --> 00:50:58,221
Wait a minute, honey.
1034
00:50:58,806 --> 00:51:01,683
I expect you'd better be running along to
school, hadn't you?
1035
00:51:01,767 --> 00:51:03,893
I'll look after him for you.
1036
00:51:03,978 --> 00:51:06,563
Now, don't you worry. He ain't in any
trouble.
1037
00:51:06,647 --> 00:51:10,358
I'll take good care of him. Here, is this
the house?
1038
00:51:14,321 --> 00:51:18,450
No, the next one, second floor, back.

And if you talk to him, he's always all
right.

I didn't expect to find you here, ma'am.
Is there anything I can do?
1047
00:52:01,827 --> 00:52:04,370
He's my husband. I can take care of him.
1048
00:52:04,455 --> 00:52:07,123
It's all right, Johnny. I'll get you a
nice cup of coffee.
1049
00:52:07,208 --> 00:52:11,795
A nice cup of coffee.
1050

00:52:15,132 --> 00:52:17,133
that the gentleman wasn't making no
trouble.
1052
00:52:17,218 --> 00:52:18,802
He just needed a little help.

If you wasn't new on the beat, Mr. McShane,
1056
00:52:25,935 --> 00:52:28,061
you'd know that Johnny never makes any
trouble
1057
00:52:28,145 --> 00:52:32,273
and you'd know that the whole Nolan
family don't need anybody's help.
1058
00:52:32,358 --> 00:52:36,027
I'd thank you, Mr. McShane, if you'd mind
your own business.

Yes, but...
1068
00:53:07,309 --> 00:53:09,185
You can't know "but."
1069
00:53:09,270 --> 00:53:11,187
I only meant to say,
1070
00:53:11,272 --> 00:53:13,273
I was thinking about the words,
1071
00:53:13,357 --> 00:53:15,358
what they mean, and I wondered...
1072
00:53:15,442 --> 00:53:18,528
You don't have to know the words,
Frances, just the meter.
1073
00:53:18,612 --> 00:53:22,991
But if beauty is truth and that's all ye
need... I mean, all you need to know,
1074
00:53:23,075 --> 00:53:25,869
then that means it's the most important
thing.
1075
00:53:25,953 --> 00:53:29,747
And if a man, I mean, if somebody
1076
00:53:30,416 --> 00:53:33,293
spent all his time trying to be like that,
1077
00:53:34,336 --> 00:53:39,048
well, it's hard to put, but no matter
what else he did, then...
1078
00:53:39,800 --> 00:53:41,509
Then what, Frances?
1079
00:53:41,594 --> 00:53:44,137
Then it would be all right, wouldn't it?
1080
00:53:44,221 --> 00:53:48,808
I'm afraid I don't understand a thing
you're saying, Frances,
1081
00:53:48,893 --> 00:53:50,685
and we're late now with our arithmetic.
1082
00:53:50,811 --> 00:53:52,645

Pop, why don't the Katzenjammer Kids talk
plain English?

over a half an hour.

something?

What shall I do?

00:54:08,579 --> 00:54:11,539
You used to like to do your homework
Sundays.
1089
00:54:11,624 --> 00:54:14,417
I don't know. I don't like school as much
as I used to.
1090
00:54:14,501 --> 00:54:16,502
Now you're getting some sense.
1091

1093
00:54:21,008 --> 00:54:23,760
Do you know that big market on Clancy
Street down the hill?
1094
00:54:23,844 --> 00:54:25,595
We can't trade there, if that's what you
mean.
1095
00:54:25,679 --> 00:54:27,096
That neighborhood's expensive.

00:54:27,181 --> 00:54:29,599
Well, I meant... I mean,
1097
00:54:29,683 --> 00:54:32,852
well, the other day, I passed that way on
my way home
1098
00:54:32,937 --> 00:54:34,062
and, well, Mom,
1099
00:54:34,146 --> 00:54:36,147
you know what's just a couple of blocks
away from that market?
1100
00:54:36,231 --> 00:54:37,398
Another market, I guess.
1101
00:54:37,483 --> 00:54:39,984
And am I supposed to guess what's two
blocks away from there?
1102
00:54:40,069 --> 00:54:42,737
Francie, why don't you say what you mean?
1103
00:54:42,821 --> 00:54:44,989
I didn't mean anything, I guess.

You know what I read in a magazine once?
1109
00:54:56,377 --> 00:54:57,835
What was it, Francie?
1110
00:54:57,920 --> 00:55:00,713
Well, it said that walking was a good
thing.
1111
00:55:00,798 --> 00:55:02,715
It said people would look and feel a lot
better
1112
00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:04,300
if they did more of it.

them stairs.

That isn't what it meant. It meant, well,
like on a Sunday,
1116
00:55:14,103 --> 00:55:17,730
people would feel a lot better if they
got out and took a walk or something,
1117

Francie, I want you to stop talking
around about things like that.
1119

It ain't right. If you got something to
say, just say it right out, plain.

I wasn't going to say anything.

I was just talking about walking.

00:58:47,399 --> 00:58:49,066
Look, prima donna.
1186
00:58:49,776 --> 00:58:51,819
After all, you know,
1187
00:58:52,696 --> 00:58:55,406
this ain't exactly according to the rules.
1188
00:58:55,490 --> 00:58:56,657
You mean it's wrong?
1189
00:58:56,742 --> 00:58:58,659
No, sir. Not by a jugful it ain't wrong.
1190
00:58:58,744 --> 00:59:01,037
Look, the house is here, we're here and
the school's here.
1191
00:59:01,121 --> 00:59:04,207
Now, we wasn't all thrown together for no
reason.
1192
00:59:04,291 --> 00:59:05,541
(BELLS TOLLING)
1193
00:59:05,626 --> 00:59:07,710
But we gotta keep it kind of a secret.
1194
00:59:07,794 --> 00:59:09,879
You know, you can't tell nobody
1195
00:59:09,963 --> 00:59:12,089
and you gotta be extra good to make up
for it.
1196
00:59:12,299 --> 00:59:13,674
I will.
1197
00:59:14,927 --> 00:59:17,511
Look. There goes Auntie now, I think.
1198
00:59:19,681 --> 00:59:22,225
It looks like you got an uncle, too.
1199
00:59:23,685 --> 00:59:27,313
Now, I'm gonna show you a way to your new
school through a beautiful, little park
1200
00:59:27,397 --> 00:59:29,023
and I know right where it is.
1201
00:59:29,107 --> 00:59:32,151
And you can see the seasons change when
you go.
1202
00:59:33,320 --> 00:59:34,946
Bend down, Papa.
1203
00:59:37,491 --> 00:59:39,367
"My cup runneth over."
1204
00:59:46,166 --> 00:59:47,917
It's dishonest, that's what it is.
1205
00:59:48,001 --> 00:59:49,919
You're setting the child an awful bad
example.
1206
00:59:50,003 --> 00:59:51,587
Papa says if it doesn't hurt anybody,
1207
00:59:51,672 --> 00:59:53,005
it's not dishonest in your heart.
1208
00:59:53,090 --> 00:59:54,924
You two and your fancy words.
1209
00:59:55,008 --> 00:59:56,801
How do you spell "transfer," Francie?
1210
00:59:56,885 --> 01:00:02,848
T
-R
-A
-N
-S
-F
-E
-R.
1211
01:00:03,475 --> 01:00:06,018
I'd rather be shot than do this arithmetic.
1212
01:00:06,103 --> 01:00:08,229
It'll come to you, Sonny. And another
thing,
1213
01:00:08,313 --> 01:00:11,107
we kept Francie out a year so she and
Neeley could be in the same class,
1214
01:00:11,191 --> 01:00:12,275
and she could look after him.
1215
01:00:12,359 --> 01:00:15,444
And here, just the year when they're
getting ready to graduate, you go and...
1216
01:00:15,529 --> 01:00:16,612
I tell you, it's against the law,
1217
01:00:16,697 --> 01:00:17,655
and you're making her live a lie
1218
01:00:17,739 --> 01:00:19,115
and I won't have you doin' it!
1219
01:00:21,243 --> 01:00:23,661
I'm gonna do this for her, Katie.
1220
01:00:23,745 --> 01:00:26,372
Maybe it's my fault or not that there
ain't much I can give her.
1221
01:00:27,040 --> 01:00:29,917
But this is one thing she's gonna have.
1222
01:00:35,299 --> 01:00:37,425
It'll make an awful long walk for your
mornings.
1223
01:00:37,509 --> 01:00:39,093
I don't mind getting up early.
1224
01:00:39,177 --> 01:00:40,636
And it'll be much harder on your shoes
1225
01:00:40,721 --> 01:00:42,596
and you won't have dresses like the other
children.
1226
01:00:42,681 --> 01:00:45,141
I promise to wash down my dress every
single night.
1227
01:00:45,225 --> 01:00:47,476
How do you spell "appreciate," Francie?
1228
01:00:47,561 --> 01:00:49,437
A
-P
-P... Wait a minute.
1229
01:00:51,231 --> 01:00:55,735
R

-C
-I
-A
-T
-E.
1230
01:00:56,653 --> 01:00:59,989
If the principal swallows that story, and
I don't think he will,
1231
01:01:00,073 --> 01:01:04,702
I'll see what I can do about making over
that checked dress of mine for you.
1232
01:01:15,881 --> 01:01:17,757
Why not? My school's overcrowded as it is.
1233
01:01:20,469 --> 01:01:22,595
This is Frances Nolan, class.
1234
01:01:22,679 --> 01:01:25,348
I'm sure you'll all make her welcome to
our school.
1235
01:01:25,432 --> 01:01:28,017
Now, that will be your desk, Frances.
1236
01:01:48,497 --> 01:01:51,624
Run along, Sonny. I ain't gonna spill a
penny.
1237
01:02:07,099 --> 01:02:09,475
Well, I guess you got everything.
1238
01:02:12,521 --> 01:02:15,689
Neeley, our new fire escape leads clear
up onto the roof!
1239
01:02:15,774 --> 01:02:18,776
Whoever lives on the top floor has got
dibs on the roof!
1240
01:02:18,860 --> 01:02:21,070
Johnny ain't doing so well, eh, Mrs. Nolan?
1241
01:02:21,154 --> 01:02:23,197
Just moving near the sun.
1242
01:02:23,281 --> 01:02:27,159
Soon as we heard Mrs. Waters was
vacating, we made up our minds.
1243
01:02:27,244 --> 01:02:29,370
I've been waiting to see you, Mrs. Nolan.
1244
01:02:29,454 --> 01:02:32,623
There's something I got to ask you, a
favor.
1245
01:02:32,707 --> 01:02:34,375
I better show you.
1246
01:02:34,459 --> 01:02:36,460
NEELEY: Hey. Look at this thing!
1247
01:02:36,545 --> 01:02:39,630
Oh, boy! Just think, we can have a lot of
fun running up and down that!
1248
01:02:39,714 --> 01:02:41,757
We ain't gonna let anybody but us up there.
1249
01:02:41,842 --> 01:02:43,050
It's in here.
1250
01:02:43,135 --> 01:02:44,343
FRANCIE: Look how high it is!
1251
01:02:50,016 --> 01:02:52,935
The late Mr. Waters gave it to me for a
wedding present.
1252
01:02:53,019 --> 01:02:54,728
It won't go down the stairs
1253
01:02:54,813 --> 01:02:58,190
and they want $15 to move it, lowering it
out the window.
1254
01:02:58,275 --> 01:03:00,943
Do you mind my leaving it, Mrs. Nolan?
1255
01:03:01,027 --> 01:03:03,487
It don't take up much room,
1256
01:03:03,572 --> 01:03:06,615
and someday when I get the $15, I'll send
back for it.
1257
01:03:06,700 --> 01:03:09,034
Why, sure, I don't mind, Mrs. Waters.
1258
01:03:09,119 --> 01:03:10,411
Can you play it?
1259
01:03:10,495 --> 01:03:11,745
No.
1260
01:03:11,830 --> 01:03:13,956
The neither one of us could.
1261
01:03:14,040 --> 01:03:17,835
If it ain't too much trouble, you could
dust it off once in a while,
1262
01:03:17,919 --> 01:03:20,796
and keep the kitchen door open a little
so it won't get cold or damp.
1263
01:03:20,881 --> 01:03:22,590
I sure will. Thank you.
1264
01:03:22,674 --> 01:03:26,385
I hope it won't be long before you can
send back for it.
1265
01:03:28,555 --> 01:03:29,930
Have you got the curtains?
1266
01:03:30,015 --> 01:03:31,557
Yes. They're coming.
1267
01:03:36,396 --> 01:03:37,771
Is it...
1268
01:03:39,232 --> 01:03:40,733
Is that...
1269
01:03:42,110 --> 01:03:45,112
Yeah, we kept a baby in it about 40 years
ago.
1270
01:03:46,031 --> 01:03:49,492
(STUTTERING) Well, I was just wondering,
if you don't need it,
1271
01:03:49,576 --> 01:03:51,202
it would make a nice handy little wash
basket
1272
01:03:51,286 --> 01:03:53,204
and I'd be glad to give you a quarter for
it.
1273
01:03:53,288 --> 01:03:56,999
Why, sure. My Edgar's kids is even too old.
1274
01:04:05,759 --> 01:04:08,010
Excuse me for asking, Mrs. Nolan,
1275
01:04:08,094 --> 01:04:11,639
but it won't really make a very handy
wash basket.
1276
01:04:14,100 --> 01:04:17,436
Please don't say nothing. I ain't told
nobody yet.
1277
01:04:18,104 --> 01:04:20,439
It ain't always easy when you're poor,
1278
01:04:20,607 --> 01:04:22,942
but it'll be a blessing to you.
1279
01:04:24,361 --> 01:04:26,487
Yeah, sure. Sure, it will.
1280
01:04:27,030 --> 01:04:28,322
FRANCIE: But there must be!
1281
01:04:28,406 --> 01:04:29,823
I tell you, there ain't!
1282
01:04:32,202 --> 01:04:34,078
Well, goodbye, Mrs. Nolan. Goodbye.
1283
01:04:34,162 --> 01:04:36,705
Goodbye, and thank you very much.
1284
01:04:36,790 --> 01:04:40,834
Don't forget we're supposed to give him a
beer, or the price of one.
1285
01:04:40,919 --> 01:04:42,044
Well, I'm done.
1286
01:04:42,128 --> 01:04:43,754
I can't thank you enough, Charlie.
1287
01:04:44,631 --> 01:04:47,341
Always glad to do my customers a favor,
of course.
1288
01:04:47,425 --> 01:04:49,510
Well, we are real grateful.
1289
01:04:49,970 --> 01:04:53,055
It ain't as though I was in the regular
moving business.
1290
01:04:53,139 --> 01:04:56,642
We'll be taking ice from you, same as
usual, once a week.
1291
01:04:56,726 --> 01:04:58,727
Well, goodbye.
1292
01:04:58,812 --> 01:05:00,813
Goodbye, Charlie, and thanks.
1293
01:05:00,897 --> 01:05:03,232
He worked awful hard, Mama.
1294
01:05:03,316 --> 01:05:05,067
We moved up to this flat to save money,
1295
01:05:05,151 --> 01:05:07,528
and we're not gonna start by throwing
dimes away.
1296
01:05:07,612 --> 01:05:11,365
No, sir, there ain't a bathtub anywhere.
I looked all over.
1297
01:05:14,160 --> 01:05:15,494
There's the tub, young man.
1298
01:05:15,579 --> 01:05:17,288
Every Wednesday and Saturday, same as
always.
1299
01:05:17,372 --> 01:05:18,581
(KNOCK AT DOOR)
1300
01:05:18,665 --> 01:05:20,291
It's Mr. Barker.
1301
01:05:22,419 --> 01:05:27,798
Well, it seems like the Nolans have come
up in the world.
1302
01:05:27,882 --> 01:05:30,759
Yes, we're so very, very fond of the
sunshine.

JOHNNY: (SINGING) In Dublin's fair city
1304
01:05:32,178 --> 01:05:33,345
Where the girls are so pretty...
1305
01:05:33,430 --> 01:05:36,223
Run and catch him before he goes to the
old place.
1306
01:05:36,308 --> 01:05:37,516
Mr. Nolan happened to be working
1307
01:05:37,601 --> 01:05:40,311
when we found we could make the move.
1308
01:05:40,395 --> 01:05:43,564
Smaller than your old flat, ain't it?
1309
01:05:43,648 --> 01:05:45,441
I'm sorry I can't ask you to sit, Mr.
Barker.
1310
01:05:45,525 --> 01:05:47,067
I ain't even got the coffee on yet.
1311
01:05:47,152 --> 01:05:49,361
But I got my insurance money handy.
1312
01:05:49,446 --> 01:05:54,825
I suppose you're too busy to listen to a
bit of news about your sister.
1313
01:05:56,369 --> 01:05:57,620
She...
1314
01:05:58,705 --> 01:06:00,706
She's gonna have a baby.
1315
01:06:04,878 --> 01:06:08,464
Please tell my sister she shouldn't make
herself such a stranger here.
1316
01:06:08,548 --> 01:06:10,424
I shall be very happy to render your
message.
1317
01:06:10,508 --> 01:06:11,634
Your receipts, Mrs. Nolan.
1318
01:06:11,718 --> 01:06:13,594
Be sure to, now, Mr. Barker.
1319
01:06:17,265 --> 01:06:18,932
Good day to you, Mr. Nolan.
1320
01:06:19,017 --> 01:06:22,811
Well, I'm not one to spoil a family
party. I'll be on my way.
1321
01:06:26,733 --> 01:06:29,568
Surprise, Papa. Welcome to your new home.
1322
01:06:30,278 --> 01:06:33,864
Yeah. It is kind of a surprise, all right.
1323
01:06:35,283 --> 01:06:37,701
Did you move up here because it was
cheaper or because I...
1324
01:06:37,786 --> 01:06:41,163
We have to save where we can. Somebody's
got to.
1325
01:06:41,247 --> 01:06:43,624
I don't mind the extra stairs.
1326
01:06:55,470 --> 01:06:56,887
We can still see the tree.
1327
01:06:56,971 --> 01:06:59,515
Pop, the top
-floor tenants, the roof is theirs,
1328
01:06:59,599 --> 01:07:01,225
and I ain't gonna let anybody up there
1329
01:07:01,309 --> 01:07:03,686
except Henny Gaddis, because...
1330
01:07:03,770 --> 01:07:05,646
Hey. Does Pop know?
1331
01:07:05,730 --> 01:07:07,272
Flossie Gaddis died last night.
1332
01:07:09,192 --> 01:07:10,693
The poor baby.
1333
01:07:11,528 --> 01:07:13,946
It was nice that her mama got her all
them pretty dresses.
1334
01:07:14,030 --> 01:07:16,615
Only now the poor thing will have to lie
in Potter's Field.
1335
01:07:18,201 --> 01:07:20,411
But she did have the dresses.
1336
01:07:22,956 --> 01:07:25,124
You better show your papa the piano.
1337
01:07:25,625 --> 01:07:29,336
Yeah, you better show me the piano, prima
donna.

01:07:31,297 --> 01:07:33,465
FRANCIE: The lady that was here left it.
1339
01:07:41,850 --> 01:07:43,642
It's got a nice tone.
1340
01:07:45,812 --> 01:07:47,354
It's all right.
1341
01:07:51,818 --> 01:07:55,362
Hey! Now that we got it, maybe you can
take some lessons!
1342
01:07:56,823 --> 01:07:57,906

01:08:42,660 --> 01:08:48,832
Bonnie Annie Laurie
1351
01:08:51,002 --> 01:08:56,006
I would lay
1352
01:08:57,008 --> 01:08:59,468
me doon
1353
01:09:02,388 --> 01:09:05,557
and dee
1354
01:09:06,768 --> 01:09:11,396
I ain't never heard you sing that before.
It's pretty. It's...
1355
01:09:11,481 --> 01:09:15,150
Maxwellton braes are bonnie
1356
01:09:15,235 --> 01:09:17,986
Where early fa's the dew
1357
01:09:18,530 --> 01:09:23,033
And 'twas there that Annie Laurie
1358
01:09:23,117 --> 01:09:34,336
Gave me her promise true
1359
01:09:35,630 --> 01:09:41,927
Which ne'er forgot will be
1360
01:09:43,596 --> 01:09:47,766
And for Bonnie Annie
1361
01:09:49,561 --> 01:09:51,603
Laurie
1362
01:09:54,440 --> 01:09:57,276
I would lay
1363
01:09:58,528 --> 01:10:01,196
me doon
1364
01:10:03,908 --> 01:10:06,493
and dee
1365
01:10:11,791 --> 01:10:15,043
Well, this is the beginning of a vacation
we've all looked forward to,
1366
01:10:15,128 --> 01:10:17,504
and I'm sure we'll all enjoy our holidays
more
1367
01:10:17,589 --> 01:10:19,756
knowing we've helped some unfortunate
family
1368
01:10:19,841 --> 01:10:22,759
who'd have had no Christmas dinner
without this basket.
1369
01:10:22,844 --> 01:10:25,762
And so a merry... Oh, one last thing.
1370
01:10:25,847 --> 01:10:28,599
This extra pie Miss Shilling brought in,
1371
01:10:28,683 --> 01:10:32,352
it's little and a bit crushed, but
anybody want it?
1372
01:10:34,147 --> 01:10:36,523
My! What well
-fed boys and girls.
1373
01:10:37,734 --> 01:10:38,775
All right, class.
1374
01:10:38,860 --> 01:10:39,902
Miss McDonough!
1375
01:10:39,986 --> 01:10:40,944
Yes, Frances?
1376
01:10:41,029 --> 01:10:44,823
I just remembered. I know a very
unfortunate family.
1377
01:10:44,908 --> 01:10:48,327
They live in a hovel. They have two
children,
1378
01:10:48,411 --> 01:10:51,788
little golden
-haired twins, and they're all starving.
1379
01:10:51,873 --> 01:10:54,082
The pie will probably save their lives.
1380
01:10:54,459 --> 01:10:57,210
Then you should take the pie, by all means.
1381
01:10:57,879 --> 01:11:00,088
You can come and get it when class is
dismissed,
1382
01:11:00,173 --> 01:11:03,133
which is now. A merry Christmas to you all!
1383
01:11:03,301 --> 01:11:05,344
(ALL CHATTERING EXCITEDLY)
1384
01:11:08,181 --> 01:11:10,182
Here. Merry Christmas!
1385
01:11:12,977 --> 01:11:16,438
That was a very fine Christmas spirit,
Frances,
1386
01:11:16,522 --> 01:11:19,650
but it seems such a tiny pie to save so
many lives.
1387
01:11:19,734 --> 01:11:22,152
It won't seem small to them, Miss
McDonough.
1388
01:11:22,236 --> 01:11:23,695
Even a little pie can look awful big
1389
01:11:23,780 --> 01:11:25,155
if you hadn't had very much to eat
1390
01:11:25,239 --> 01:11:28,283
for days and days. I'll have to tell them
to eat it slowly
1391
01:11:28,368 --> 01:11:32,120
because if they eat it too fast on an
empty stomach, they'll...
1392
01:11:32,664 --> 01:11:33,747
They'll...
1393
01:11:35,917 --> 01:11:39,378
It isn't true. It's all a lie! I wanted
it for myself!
1394
01:11:41,089 --> 01:11:44,466
I'll stay after school. I'll do anything,
but don't send a note home!
1395
01:11:44,550 --> 01:11:47,552
I'm not going to punish you, child, for
being hungry,
1396
01:11:47,637 --> 01:11:49,513
or having an imagination.
1397
01:11:50,223 --> 01:11:52,891
You know, that's something very few
people have.
1398
01:11:52,976 --> 01:11:54,726
It's very precious.
1399
01:11:55,353 --> 01:11:59,064
But it can also be dangerous unless we
learn how to use it.
1400
01:11:59,565 --> 01:12:03,986
Our everyday lives are real and true,
aren't they?
1401
01:12:04,654 --> 01:12:08,156
But all the stories in the world, all the
music
1402
01:12:08,241 --> 01:12:10,534
came out of someone's imagination.
1403
01:12:10,618 --> 01:12:14,830
So, if we tell the truth and write the
lies,
1404
01:12:14,914 --> 01:12:16,164
then they aren't lies anymore.
1405
01:12:16,249 --> 01:12:18,166
They become stories,
1406
01:12:18,251 --> 01:12:21,503
like some of the very nice compositions
you've written, Frances.
1407
01:12:21,587 --> 01:12:23,171
Like the one about my father taking me
1408
01:12:23,256 --> 01:12:25,465
to see the cotton fields down south.
1409
01:12:25,550 --> 01:12:26,967
We didn't really go.
1410
01:12:27,468 --> 01:12:29,177
I rather imagined you didn't.
1411
01:12:30,096 --> 01:12:32,639
But don't you think it would be still
better
1412
01:12:32,724 --> 01:12:36,560
if you'd write about the things you
really know about
1413
01:12:36,644 --> 01:12:38,603
and then add to them with your imagination?
1414
01:12:39,647 --> 01:12:44,568
Even stories shouldn't be just, well,
pipe dreams.
1415
01:12:45,236 --> 01:12:47,696
Pipe
-dreamers can be very lovable people
1416
01:12:47,780 --> 01:12:50,949
but they don't help anybody, not even
themselves.
1417
01:12:51,451 --> 01:12:55,704
Now, think about it a little, and have a
merry Christmas.
1418
01:12:58,708 --> 01:13:00,459
And enjoy your pie.
1419
01:13:01,044 --> 01:13:04,421
Yes, Miss McDonough. Thank you, Miss
McDonough.
1420
01:13:12,680 --> 01:13:14,222
For God's sakes! Where you been?
1421
01:13:14,307 --> 01:13:15,974
You were supposed to meet me...
1422
01:13:16,184 --> 01:13:17,225
Where'd you swipe that?
1423
01:13:17,310 --> 01:13:19,394
Neeley, I'm going to be a writer.
1424
01:13:19,479 --> 01:13:21,855
All right, but let's eat the pie.
1425
01:13:22,982 --> 01:13:25,108
Come on, we gotta see about our Christmas
tree!
1426
01:13:25,193 --> 01:13:27,819
Golly! It's still there, isn't it?
1427
01:13:33,409 --> 01:13:35,202
NEELEY: Yeah, it's still here.
1428
01:13:35,286 --> 01:13:37,162
He ain't got much time left to sell it.
1429
01:13:37,246 --> 01:13:39,831
Go on. Beat it! You know I ain't gonna
throw them till midnight.
1430
01:13:39,916 --> 01:13:42,709
What are you trying to do, block the
sidewalk, keep customers out?
1431
01:13:42,794 --> 01:13:46,088
Hey! You don't own the sidewalk! Free
country, ain't it?
1432
01:13:46,172 --> 01:13:48,215
How about this one, madam?
1433
01:13:49,675 --> 01:13:52,969
No, that one's too big. I want a small one.
1434
01:13:53,054 --> 01:13:55,472
I got just what you want. Come over here,
lady.
1435
01:13:55,556 --> 01:13:58,683
WOMAN: Well, now, that's more like it!
That's the size.
1436
01:13:59,018 --> 01:14:01,311
It's awful big to get throwed at you.
1437
01:14:01,395 --> 01:14:03,814
Why does he have to throw them at us,
anyway?
1438
01:14:03,898 --> 01:14:06,858
Why can't he just give them to us if he
don't sell them?
1439
01:14:06,943 --> 01:14:08,860
If he just gave them away, everybody
would wait.
1440
01:14:08,945 --> 01:14:11,196
He'd never sell any of 'em.
1441
01:14:14,033 --> 01:14:15,450
Smells good.
1442
01:14:20,123 --> 01:14:21,706
There she goes!
1443
01:14:22,625 --> 01:14:24,084
Hey, I stumbled!
1444
01:14:24,168 --> 01:14:25,460
Go on! Beat it! Who's next?
1445
01:14:25,586 --> 01:14:26,878
Come on, give me a chance. I'm next.
1446
01:14:26,963 --> 01:14:29,131
All right, here she goes.
1447
01:14:30,675 --> 01:14:31,675
Got it, didn't I?
1448
01:14:31,759 --> 01:14:33,260
All right, take it! Go home!
1449
01:14:34,262 --> 01:14:35,804
Now, who wants to try this one?
1450
01:14:35,888 --> 01:14:38,014
Who's man enough for this big one right
here?
1451
01:14:38,099 --> 01:14:39,975
I can take anything you got, mister. Let
her...
1452
01:14:40,059 --> 01:14:41,726
I'm next! That's my tree!
1453
01:14:42,061 --> 01:14:43,478
You're too small. Go home.
1454
01:14:43,563 --> 01:14:46,106
Me and my brother, we ain't too small
together.
1455
01:14:46,190 --> 01:14:47,190
Spunky, huh?
1456
01:14:47,275 --> 01:14:49,276
All right, but if one of you drop,
1457
01:14:49,402 --> 01:14:51,444
you're not gonna get the tree.
1458
01:14:52,947 --> 01:14:54,739
There she goes!
1459
01:14:56,576 --> 01:14:58,493
MAN: That a girl! You got it!
1460
01:14:58,578 --> 01:15:01,955
Okay, you got it coming. Go ahead! Who's
next?
1461
01:15:04,625 --> 01:15:07,502
Quit worrying about them, Katie. They'll
be home pretty quick.
1462
01:15:07,587 --> 01:15:09,796
They ain't old enough to be out this late.
1463
01:15:09,881 --> 01:15:12,632
Johnny should have made them tell what
they was up to.
1464
01:15:12,717 --> 01:15:14,968
No telling what's likely to happen if
Francie gets a notion...
1465
01:15:15,052 --> 01:15:16,845
They'll be all right.
1466
01:15:29,901 --> 01:15:32,110
Well, I guess we better get on home.
1467
01:15:32,612 --> 01:15:33,695
I'll see them tomorrow.
1468
01:15:33,779 --> 01:15:35,030
No, don't go!
1469
01:15:39,076 --> 01:15:41,036
FRANCIE: Hey, Pa! Hey, Ma!
1470
01:15:41,120 --> 01:15:42,537
NEELEY: Hey, Ma!
1471
01:15:45,124 --> 01:15:46,249
Look!
1472
01:15:47,251 --> 01:15:50,629
Holy smoke! Will you look what they've
went and done?
1473
01:15:52,715 --> 01:15:55,926
They're trying to make a Christmas. Help
'em, kid.
1474
01:16:01,224 --> 01:16:02,724
We got it throwed at us! Well, sure,
1475
01:16:02,808 --> 01:16:05,894
I was only wondering if you couldn't use
a little help.
1476
01:16:05,978 --> 01:16:07,395
Come on, come on, come on.
1477
01:16:07,521 --> 01:16:08,897
How in Jerusalem did you...
1478
01:16:08,981 --> 01:16:11,191
Look, Papa! Look at my face, Pop! Look at
my face!
1479
01:16:11,275 --> 01:16:12,692
Nobody around here ever saw a tree like
that!
1480
01:16:12,777 --> 01:16:14,236
Look at my face if you don't believe it.
1481
01:16:14,320 --> 01:16:16,112
And I see you got the law on your side,
too.
1482
01:16:16,197 --> 01:16:18,657
Merry Christmas, Mr. Nolan! And it looks
like you're gonna have one.
1483
01:16:18,741 --> 01:16:20,283
Same to you, Mr. McShane, and thanks.
1484
01:16:20,368 --> 01:16:21,910
Merry Christmas, Mr. Nolan.
1485
01:16:21,994 --> 01:16:23,078
Merry Christmas, Miss Maggie.
1486
01:16:23,162 --> 01:16:24,537
Isn't this a wonderful Christmas, Papa?
1487
01:16:24,622 --> 01:16:25,914
It is now, prima donna.
1488
01:16:25,998 --> 01:16:27,624
Imagine us having a tree like that,
1489
01:16:28,542 --> 01:16:30,627
and the nicest kids in the world, I guess.
1490
01:16:33,881 --> 01:16:36,424
Merry Christmas, everybody! Merry
Christmas!
1491
01:16:36,509 --> 01:16:38,051
MAGGIE: God bless you, Mr. Nolan.
1492
01:16:38,803 --> 01:16:40,220
Merry Christmas, Neeley!

01:16:40,346 --> 01:16:41,805
Merry Christmas!

to send over those candy canes to the kids.
1515

Yeah.

01:18:03,262 --> 01:18:04,929
(EXCLAIMING)
1520
01:18:06,182 --> 01:18:08,016
Oh, it's pretty.
1521
01:18:08,684 --> 01:18:09,809
What is it?
1522
01:18:09,894 --> 01:18:11,102
Rose water and glycerin.
1523
01:18:11,270 --> 01:18:13,271
You rub it on your hands.
1524
01:18:14,523 --> 01:18:17,317
This is for you, Papa, from me and Neeley.
1525
01:18:20,237 --> 01:18:21,446
KATIE: My!
1526
01:18:23,991 --> 01:18:25,867
I'll be quite the thing, won't I?
1527
01:18:25,951 --> 01:18:28,203
NEELEY: I think it's silly, but Francie
said
1528
01:18:28,287 --> 01:18:31,206
Papa was always talking about what nice
hands you got.
1529
01:18:31,290 --> 01:18:35,043
It cost a dime, but we had a seltzer
bottle top in the junk.
1530
01:18:39,131 --> 01:18:42,217
It's a watch fob. It's made out of
shoelaces.
1531
01:18:42,301 --> 01:18:44,636
I wove it on a spool with nails.
1532
01:18:45,638 --> 01:18:50,058
Well, if that ain't about the nicest
thing I ever did see.
1533
01:18:50,142 --> 01:18:52,727
Maybe it's kinda silly, you not having a
watch.
1534
01:18:52,812 --> 01:18:55,688
Well, now, madam, we're all out of
mushrooms under glass,
1535
01:18:55,773 --> 01:18:58,024
but I can tell you the time.
1536
01:18:58,651 --> 01:19:01,486
That's the nicest present I ever did get,
prima donna.
1537
01:19:01,570 --> 01:19:03,571
And thank you, too, Son.
1538
01:19:03,656 --> 01:19:06,866
You're welcome. I guess the shoelaces was
mine.
1539
01:19:08,077 --> 01:19:09,077
It was silly.
1540
01:19:09,161 --> 01:19:10,495
There ain't nothing silly on Christmas.
1541
01:19:10,579 --> 01:19:13,832
I got a little present here.
1542
01:19:13,916 --> 01:19:15,041
(KNOCK AT DOOR)
1543
01:19:17,294 --> 01:19:19,003
Like I was saying, I got...
1544
01:19:19,088 --> 01:19:20,255
McSHANE: Merry Christmas, Miss Francie.
1545
01:19:20,339 --> 01:19:23,174
Come on. They're in here. It's Mr. McShane.
1546
01:19:23,259 --> 01:19:24,342
I hope I'm not intruding.
1547
01:19:24,427 --> 01:19:25,718
Merry Christmas, Mr. McShane.
1548
01:19:25,803 --> 01:19:26,928
Merry Christmas!
1549
01:19:27,012 --> 01:19:28,471
Merry Christmas. I was just...
1550
01:19:28,556 --> 01:19:29,681
Hello, handsome.
1551
01:19:29,765 --> 01:19:31,391
Mrs. Edwards.
1552
01:19:31,475 --> 01:19:35,061
I was just passing, and I happened to see
the light still burning
1553
01:19:35,146 --> 01:19:36,354
and I got to thinking
1554
01:19:36,439 --> 01:19:39,441
that I'd like to have a hand in
decorating that fine Christmas tree.
1555
01:19:39,525 --> 01:19:40,775
I see somebody's already provided.
1556
01:19:40,860 --> 01:19:43,111
We can always use more of them, Mr.
McShane.
1557
01:19:43,195 --> 01:19:45,029
Thank you kindly.
1558
01:19:45,489 --> 01:19:47,949
Won't you come in and have a cup of
coffee with us?
1559
01:19:48,033 --> 01:19:51,828
Thanks, no. This evening's for families.
1560
01:19:51,912 --> 01:19:53,455
And I got to be getting home now,
1561
01:19:53,539 --> 01:19:56,958
so I'll say goodbye and merry Christmas
to everybody.
1562
01:19:57,042 --> 01:19:59,544
Thank you, Mr. McShane. Merry Christmas!
1563
01:19:59,712 --> 01:20:01,421
That was mighty nice of him.
1564
01:20:01,547 --> 01:20:03,256
Mr. McShane's a fine man.
1565
01:20:03,340 --> 01:20:06,134
He's, I think, sometimes a lonely man.
1566
01:20:06,218 --> 01:20:09,637
Like I was saying, I got something here.
1567
01:20:09,722 --> 01:20:13,725
I mean, I got a present for somebody that
ain't exactly here.
1568
01:20:13,809 --> 01:20:17,312
Grandma helped me pick it out. It's for
you know who.
1569
01:20:19,023 --> 01:20:22,108
Bill, it's beautiful. Look, everybody!
1570
01:20:24,445 --> 01:20:26,571
Bill, darling, I've never been so happy!
1571
01:20:27,239 --> 01:20:29,032
I'm gonna get some coffee.
1572
01:20:42,421 --> 01:20:43,588
Katie?
1573
01:20:44,006 --> 01:20:47,175
(JOHNNY PLAYING O COME, ALL YE FAITHFUL
ON PIANO)
1574
01:20:48,427 --> 01:20:49,552
Yeah.
1575
01:20:49,845 --> 01:20:50,970
I'm glad for ya.
1576
01:20:53,849 --> 01:20:56,309
I don't know. I'm scared, I guess.
1577
01:20:56,393 --> 01:20:59,521
You got no call to be. Look how swell
them two are.
1578
01:20:59,605 --> 01:21:01,105
Yeah, they are.
1579
01:21:02,650 --> 01:21:04,442
You told Johnny yet?
1580
01:21:06,445 --> 01:21:09,322
Well, maybe you ought to. It might help
him.
1581
01:21:09,949 --> 01:21:11,074
Yeah.
1582
01:21:15,579 --> 01:21:17,789
We better take the coffee in.
1583
01:21:18,374 --> 01:21:21,793
You're a fine girl, Katie. I never said
any different.
1584
01:21:42,856 --> 01:21:46,568
That's for nothing, Johnny, except maybe
being a nice guy.
1585
01:21:48,487 --> 01:21:50,405
Coffee, everybody!
1586
01:22:04,253 --> 01:22:06,546
Well, I guess that's about all.
1587
01:22:06,964 --> 01:22:09,507
Johnny, I got to tell ya something.
1588
01:22:09,883 --> 01:22:12,969
Maybe it ain't the right time, and maybe
it is.
1589
01:22:13,637 --> 01:22:15,763
The reason I moved us up here...
1590
01:22:16,932 --> 01:22:18,182
We're gonna have a baby, Johnny.
1591
01:22:18,267 --> 01:22:20,602
That's why I've been scrimpin' so much
and tryin' so hard to save.
1592
01:22:20,686 --> 01:22:21,936
That's...
1593
01:22:23,856 --> 01:22:27,483
Well, I'm awful glad, Katie, if you are.
1594
01:22:27,568 --> 01:22:29,027
There's a lot we got to think about,
Johnny.
1595
01:22:29,111 --> 01:22:30,612
I know! But we'll make out.
1596
01:22:30,696 --> 01:22:32,572
Maybe things will be different.
1597
01:22:32,656 --> 01:22:34,657
And we'll have one to grow up with all
over again.
1598
01:22:34,742 --> 01:22:36,743
I got things all figured out.
1599
01:22:36,827 --> 01:22:40,330
I ought to be able to work until, well,
anyway, April,
1600
01:22:40,414 --> 01:22:43,041
and then Francie will have to leave
school and take out a working paper.
1601
01:22:43,125 --> 01:22:44,876
She's young, but with what she can make,
1602
01:22:44,960 --> 01:22:46,127
we ought to be able to make out.
1603
01:22:46,211 --> 01:22:47,503
But we can't do that, Katie!
1604
01:22:47,588 --> 01:22:49,339
I don't like it any better than you do,
Johnny.
1605
01:22:49,423 --> 01:22:51,924
But I thought and I thought, and there
ain't no other way.
1606
01:22:52,009 --> 01:22:54,969
And, Johnny, you got to help with
something. She listens to you.
1607
01:22:55,054 --> 01:22:58,431
You got to quit gettin' her so all
excited about her schoolin'.
1608
01:22:58,515 --> 01:23:00,058
But why can't it be Neeley?
1609
01:23:00,142 --> 01:23:02,060
He's the boy, and he don't care like she
does!
1610
01:23:02,144 --> 01:23:03,519
Well, maybe that's why.
1611
01:23:03,604 --> 01:23:05,813
Maybe it'll do her good to get out in the
world,
1612
01:23:05,898 --> 01:23:08,149
and learn how to take care of herself,
1613
01:23:08,233 --> 01:23:09,525
learn somethin' practical while she's
young.
1614
01:23:09,610 --> 01:23:11,527
She's got to learn someday.
1615
01:23:11,654 --> 01:23:13,571
Well, there must be another way!
1616
01:23:15,157 --> 01:23:18,326
I don't know. I'll try and swing
anything. I'll do anything.
1617
01:23:18,410 --> 01:23:20,078
We can't count on that, Johnny.
1618
01:23:24,083 --> 01:23:27,543
Don't look at me like that, Johnny. It
ain't my fault.
1619
01:23:30,714 --> 01:23:33,925
It ain't your fault either, I guess. I
don't know.
1620
01:23:35,219 --> 01:23:37,929
Anyway, one member of the Nolan family'll
1621
01:23:38,013 --> 01:23:39,764
get to graduate, and she come close.
1622
01:23:39,848 --> 01:23:41,474
That's somethin'.
1623
01:23:45,562 --> 01:23:48,981
You better put out the light, and let's
get some rest.
1624
01:24:14,049 --> 01:24:15,049
Oh!
1625
01:24:15,426 --> 01:24:17,927
I thought you'd be asleep, prima donna.
1626
01:24:18,303 --> 01:24:20,930
Uh
-uh. I've been thinking.
1627
01:24:22,975 --> 01:24:26,728
I might be going to be a writer. I've
just about decided.
1628
01:24:28,689 --> 01:24:31,023
I knew you when you was gonna be a lady
fireman.
1629
01:24:32,192 --> 01:24:34,944
Don't joke, Papa. I'm serious.
1630
01:24:35,529 --> 01:24:37,321
All right, baby.
1631
01:24:37,489 --> 01:24:42,243
All I meant was maybe it's better not to
get your heart set
1632
01:24:42,327 --> 01:24:46,330
on just one thing, in case something
happens.
1633
01:24:46,415 --> 01:24:49,333
She said, Miss McDonough, I mean,
1634
01:24:50,252 --> 01:24:56,007
she said maybe I could be. She said I
have imagination.
1635
01:24:57,092 --> 01:24:58,718
Do you think I have, Papa?
1636
01:24:58,802 --> 01:25:00,678
Sure you have, baby.
1637
01:25:00,763 --> 01:25:03,222
Them compositions of yours are sure fine,
but...
1638
01:25:03,307 --> 01:25:05,600
She said I'd have to work hard.
1639
01:25:05,976 --> 01:25:08,686
She said imagination wasn't any good
1640
01:25:08,854 --> 01:25:11,606
if you were just a pipe
-dreamer about it.
1641
01:25:11,857 --> 01:25:16,110
You didn't help anybody that way, not
even yourself, she said.
1642
01:25:16,528 --> 01:25:20,823
Yeah, I see. A pipe
-dreamer.
1643
01:25:22,409 --> 01:25:24,952
I'm not putting it good like she did.
1644
01:25:25,370 --> 01:25:28,748
I wish you could've heard her. She was
wonderful.
1645
01:25:30,083 --> 01:25:33,628
Forever and ever, I'll be glad you helped
me go to that school, Papa.
1646
01:25:33,712 --> 01:25:35,588
You kind of like that school, don't you,
baby?
1647
01:25:36,215 --> 01:25:39,217
Yes. Oh, yes.
1648
01:25:40,052 --> 01:25:44,222
And she said lots more. I've been trying
to remember.
1649
01:25:46,683 --> 01:25:49,268
She said even if you have imagination,
1650
01:25:49,353 --> 01:25:51,479
it's better to write about the things you
know about
1651
01:25:51,563 --> 01:25:53,731
so they'll be true.
1652
01:25:54,983 --> 01:25:56,984
And the way things are.
1653
01:25:57,653 --> 01:25:58,653
Only...
1654
01:25:58,737 --> 01:26:00,071
Only what, baby?
1655
01:26:00,697 --> 01:26:03,825
Papa, the people in the hall when we
brought up the tree,
1656
01:26:03,909 --> 01:26:06,536
the look on their faces, all friendly and
nice.
1657
01:26:06,620 --> 01:26:10,414
Why can't people be like that all the
time, not just on Christmas?
1658
01:26:11,667 --> 01:26:15,419
(STUTTERING) Well, I guess it's because...
1659
01:26:17,965 --> 01:26:19,924
Well, I don't know.
1660
01:26:21,385 --> 01:26:23,845
Maybe it's because Christmas is like
people really are
1661
01:26:23,929 --> 01:26:25,847
and the other part ain't true.
1662
01:26:26,098 --> 01:26:27,557
And with that imagination of yours,
1663
01:26:27,641 --> 01:26:29,559
if you think about it hard enough,
1664
01:26:29,643 --> 01:26:31,519
you know, like it ought to be...
1665
01:26:31,603 --> 01:26:33,729
But when you get to thinking,
1666
01:26:33,814 --> 01:26:35,356
Papa, the people in the stories,
1667
01:26:35,440 --> 01:26:37,984
they don't just live happily ever after,
do they?
1668
01:26:38,068 --> 01:26:39,193
No, baby, but...
1669
01:26:39,278 --> 01:26:41,070
But the trouble is,
1670
01:26:41,947 --> 01:26:44,740
it doesn't feel good when you think about
things like that,
1671
01:26:45,909 --> 01:26:49,287
I mean, like they really are.
1672
01:26:50,873 --> 01:26:53,875
You better stick out your tongue, prima
donna.
1673
01:26:56,879 --> 01:26:58,880
It's just like I thought.
1674
01:26:59,798 --> 01:27:02,592
You got a bad case, a very bad case.
1675
01:27:03,051 --> 01:27:04,427
Case of what, Papa?
1676
01:27:05,095 --> 01:27:07,013
A very bad case of growing up.
1677
01:27:08,599 --> 01:27:10,224
That's all it is.
1678
01:27:12,603 --> 01:27:17,315
It ain't fun sometimes, but don't you be
afraid.
1679
01:27:18,233 --> 01:27:20,985
I don't want you should ever be afraid.
1680
01:27:23,989 --> 01:27:25,823
You're so nice, Papa.
1681
01:27:26,408 --> 01:27:29,785
I guess it's better if you don't just
stay young all your life.
1682
01:27:29,870 --> 01:27:32,705
(YAWNING) It'll be much nicer growing up.
1683
01:27:35,208 --> 01:27:36,542
Yeah.
1684
01:27:39,630 --> 01:27:43,049
Then you get to see things like they
really are.
1685
01:28:13,497 --> 01:28:14,747
Good night, baby.
1686
01:28:15,332 --> 01:28:16,624
Good night, Papa.
1687
01:28:18,460 --> 01:28:20,169
I'm sleepy now.
1688
01:28:21,797 --> 01:28:24,966
That's fine, baby, just fine.
1689
01:28:51,868 --> 01:28:54,245
Ain't ya comin' to bed, Johnny?
1690
01:28:54,329 --> 01:28:56,664
No. I'm gonna take a little walk.
1691
01:28:56,748 --> 01:28:59,083
Don't start drinking, not tonight, Johnny.
1692
01:28:59,501 --> 01:29:01,794
I won't, Katie. I won't.
1693
01:29:27,320 --> 01:29:30,531
Well, did he go out on a job, do you know?
1694
01:29:30,615 --> 01:29:33,325
If he did, he didn't get it through us.
1695
01:29:35,120 --> 01:29:36,579
Thank you.
1696
01:29:45,922 --> 01:29:48,507
How are you, Mrs. Nolan? And happy new
year to you.
1697
01:29:48,592 --> 01:29:50,676
Same to you, Mr. McGarrity.
1698
01:29:51,636 --> 01:29:54,930
I just came to...
1699
01:29:56,224 --> 01:29:58,559
Well, I happened to be passing by, and I
thought I'd run in
1700
01:29:58,643 --> 01:30:00,895
and thank you for the candy canes you
sent us.
1701
01:30:00,979 --> 01:30:02,271
It was nice of ya.
1702
01:30:02,355 --> 01:30:03,773
That's all right. It wasn't much.
1703
01:30:04,357 --> 01:30:06,358
Well, it was nice of you.
1704
01:30:09,988 --> 01:30:11,572
Good night, Mr. McGarrity. Good night,
Mrs. Nolan.
1705
01:30:11,656 --> 01:30:13,032
Mrs. Nolan.
1706
01:30:14,826 --> 01:30:18,662
Johnny ain't here. He ain't been here
since before Christmas.
1707
01:30:38,975 --> 01:30:41,894
I'm afraid it's bad news I'm bringing
you, Mrs. Nolan.
1708
01:30:41,978 --> 01:30:43,979
Our station just got a report that Mr.
Nolan
1709
01:30:44,064 --> 01:30:46,107
was found over in Manhattan very sick.
1710
01:30:46,191 --> 01:30:48,442
He's been taken to a hospital.
1711
01:30:49,361 --> 01:30:51,445
See that Neeley gets to school on time in
the morning.
1712
01:30:51,530 --> 01:30:52,947
There's an apple for your lunches.
1713
01:30:53,031 --> 01:30:55,950
The report said that he just collapsed
1714
01:30:56,034 --> 01:30:57,952
right in the doorway of an employment
agency.
1715
01:30:58,036 --> 01:30:59,912
And he'd just been going out on a job.
1716
01:30:59,996 --> 01:31:02,331
A sandhog in a tunnel, they said.
1717
01:31:02,415 --> 01:31:04,041
And he hadn't been drinking, ma'am.
1718
01:31:04,126 --> 01:31:07,211
He'd been waiting there a long time for
the job.
1719
01:31:08,171 --> 01:31:09,797
He was just sick.
1720
01:31:16,304 --> 01:31:17,638
We did everything we could.
1721
01:31:17,722 --> 01:31:19,265
Yeah, sure. I know.
1722
01:31:20,809 --> 01:31:22,768
What are you writing down that he died
from, Doctor?
1723
01:31:22,853 --> 01:31:26,438
Acute alcoholism and pneumonia. One led
to the other.
1724
01:31:27,524 --> 01:31:30,943
I don't want you to write down that he
died like that.
1725
01:31:31,570 --> 01:31:33,696
Put just the pneumonia. I can't do that.
1726
01:31:33,780 --> 01:31:36,323
Pneumonia was the direct cause of death,
but the alcoholism was...
1727
01:31:36,408 --> 01:31:37,700
Look, he's dead.
1728
01:31:37,784 --> 01:31:40,494
I got two nice kids that are gonna grow
up to amount to somethin'.
1729
01:31:40,579 --> 01:31:44,790
Why do you have to make it hard by sayin'
their father died from the drink
1730
01:31:45,500 --> 01:31:47,793
when that's only a little piece of the
truth?
1731
01:31:47,878 --> 01:31:51,714
He wasn't drinkin'. They said so. He was
out lookin' for work.
1732
01:31:53,884 --> 01:31:55,426
Why don't you put that down?
1733
01:31:58,054 --> 01:32:02,099
Cause of death, pneumonia.
1734
01:32:06,897 --> 01:32:08,856
PRIEST: "Everlasting rest and happiness
1735
01:32:08,940 --> 01:32:12,067
"through the infinite merits of Jesus
Christ.
1736
01:32:12,152 --> 01:32:16,739
"Oh, God, great and omnipotent judge of
the living and the dead,
1737
01:32:16,823 --> 01:32:19,533
"before whom we are all to appear after
this short life
1738
01:32:20,076 --> 01:32:22,077
"to render an account of our work.
1739
01:32:22,162 --> 01:32:24,038
"Let our hearts, we pray Thee,
1740
01:32:24,122 --> 01:32:26,624
"be deeply moved at the sight of this
death.
1741
01:32:26,708 --> 01:32:30,169
"And while we consign the body of the
deceased to the earth,
1742
01:32:30,253 --> 01:32:33,839
"let us be mindful of our own frailties
and mortality,
1743
01:32:33,924 --> 01:32:35,925
"that walking always in Thy fear
1744
01:32:36,009 --> 01:32:38,219
"and in the ways of Thy Commandments
1745
01:32:38,303 --> 01:32:40,304
"we may, after our departure from this
world,
1746
01:32:40,388 --> 01:32:43,557
"experience a merciful judgment
1747
01:32:43,642 --> 01:32:46,352
"and rejoice in everlasting happiness
1748
01:32:46,686 --> 01:32:48,395
"through Christ, our Lord."
1749
01:32:48,480 --> 01:32:51,690
All them people and the flowers,
1750
01:32:53,151 --> 01:32:56,195
some of them from people I never heard of
even.
1751
01:32:58,615 --> 01:33:00,574
Who would've thought that many folks...
1752
01:33:01,952 --> 01:33:05,162
I mean, they was carrying on
1753
01:33:05,247 --> 01:33:08,290
like they was his family or, or...
1754
01:33:10,252 --> 01:33:11,418
I don't know.
1755
01:33:12,295 --> 01:33:17,174
Yeah. He took the time to make a lot of
people love him, all right.
1756
01:33:17,801 --> 01:33:20,386
It's hard to figure out so many of them
showing up.
1757
01:33:22,681 --> 01:33:25,432
And they was feeling something.
1758
01:33:27,394 --> 01:33:29,937
I mean, there was no reason for 'em to
put on.
1759
01:33:30,855 --> 01:33:32,606
He was nobody big. He was just a...
1760
01:33:32,691 --> 01:33:33,941
Katie.
1761
01:33:34,276 --> 01:33:35,901
Don't talk about it no more, kid.
1762
01:33:46,329 --> 01:33:48,664
KATIE: Francie. Just leave her be, Katie.
1763
01:33:48,748 --> 01:33:49,957
She maybe wants to be by herself.
1764
01:33:50,041 --> 01:33:51,125
She's taking on kind of funny.
1765
01:33:51,209 --> 01:33:52,710
She ain't even cried.
1766
01:34:00,051 --> 01:34:01,343
Goodbye.
1767
01:34:10,186 --> 01:34:11,937
I'd like my father's shaving cup.
1768
01:34:12,397 --> 01:34:13,814
That one. "Nolan."
1769
01:34:18,320 --> 01:34:20,404
Oh, you're the little girl.
1770
01:34:20,989 --> 01:34:22,865
Yes. I'll clean it up for you.
1771
01:34:27,579 --> 01:34:28,912
He was a fine man.
1772
01:34:29,581 --> 01:34:32,458
Tell your mama that I, his barber, said
this.
1773
01:35:13,291 --> 01:35:15,125
Francie.
1774
01:35:15,585 --> 01:35:16,877
What?
1775
01:35:19,297 --> 01:35:20,798
Francie, dear, where are you going?
1776
01:35:22,634 --> 01:35:23,634
No place.
1777
01:35:25,970 --> 01:35:27,137
Francie.
1778
01:35:29,182 --> 01:35:30,182
Yes, Mama?
1779
01:35:31,351 --> 01:35:33,560
It was nice of the neighbors to send over
all that food.
1780
01:35:33,645 --> 01:35:34,978
Don't you want something?
1781
01:35:36,648 --> 01:35:37,731
No, Mama.
1782
01:35:40,360 --> 01:35:42,152
I wanted to talk to you, Francie.
1783
01:35:43,571 --> 01:35:48,075
I want things to go on, the reading and
all.
1784
01:35:49,828 --> 01:35:50,828
I want to do...
1785
01:35:52,997 --> 01:35:55,791
Well, I got to be mama and papa both to
you now, Francie.
1786
01:36:06,636 --> 01:36:08,220
Yes, Mama. Is that all, Mama?
1787
01:36:10,932 --> 01:36:12,099
Well...
1788
01:36:15,228 --> 01:36:17,438
You gotta go right now, Francie, I...
1789
01:36:17,522 --> 01:36:20,190
I'll be back. Honest, I will.
1790
01:36:30,702 --> 01:36:31,827
Mom.
1791
01:36:34,038 --> 01:36:35,539
I guess I'm a little hungry.
1792
01:36:39,836 --> 01:36:42,880
Look. He can't be dead. Can't!
1793
01:36:44,549 --> 01:36:45,883
They don't understand.
1794
01:36:49,888 --> 01:36:52,806
Maybe you could let me have a baby someday,
1795
01:36:53,933 --> 01:36:55,434
and it could be a boy.
1796
01:36:56,311 --> 01:36:58,061
So it could be just like him.
1797
01:37:00,732 --> 01:37:02,316
It would have to be me.
1798
01:37:03,651 --> 01:37:05,777
Nobody else loved him like I do.
1799
01:37:08,781 --> 01:37:10,449
Maybe you could do that for me.
1800
01:37:12,285 --> 01:37:13,702
And if you could,
1801
01:37:16,164 --> 01:37:18,665
he wouldn't even die.
1802
01:37:28,551 --> 01:37:31,428
I hope you don't think I'm forward coming
in like this, Mrs. Nolan.
1803
01:37:32,305 --> 01:37:33,680
How are you, Francie?
1804
01:37:33,765 --> 01:37:34,932
I'm well, thank you.
1805
01:37:35,183 --> 01:37:38,519
Have a chair. Francie, see if Mr.
McGarrity won't have some coffee.
1806
01:37:38,603 --> 01:37:40,062
Not for me, thank you.
1807
01:37:40,563 --> 01:37:41,855
I figured I ought to come.
1808
01:37:42,565 --> 01:37:44,441
I suppose you know how Johnny and me done
business.
1809
01:37:45,443 --> 01:37:49,696
He'd give me some money to keep sometimes
and draw against it.
1810
01:37:49,781 --> 01:37:51,532
And when he...
1811
01:37:51,616 --> 01:37:55,953
Well, I got to looking around and what do
you think?
1812
01:37:57,247 --> 01:37:59,456
I had, I had nearly five bucks in his box.
1813
01:38:00,416 --> 01:38:03,460
And so I, I figured it belonged to you.
1814
01:38:07,215 --> 01:38:08,590
If you told the truth,
1815
01:38:08,675 --> 01:38:10,676
it would be more than likely that he owed
you.
1816
01:38:11,302 --> 01:38:14,680
But thanks very much.
1817
01:38:16,307 --> 01:38:17,975
Well, I just thought...
1818
01:38:18,059 --> 01:38:19,226
We'll make out.
1819
01:38:20,144 --> 01:38:22,104
Well, there's something else then.
1820
01:38:23,064 --> 01:38:25,107
I thought maybe you wouldn't mind
1821
01:38:25,567 --> 01:38:29,194
if maybe Francie and Neeley came down to
work for me afternoons,
1822
01:38:29,279 --> 01:38:31,363
like, after school and Saturdays.
1823
01:38:32,156 --> 01:38:34,283
And, of course, maybe it ain't the kind
of a place
1824
01:38:34,367 --> 01:38:37,995
you'd favor them working in, but I'd keep
an eye on them.
1825
01:38:38,621 --> 01:38:41,373
And I'd pay them $2 a week apiece.
1826
01:38:42,083 --> 01:38:45,460
And I'd take it as a great favor, ma'am.
1827
01:38:48,131 --> 01:38:50,173
You're a very bad liar, Mr. McGarrity,
1828
01:38:50,258 --> 01:38:55,053
but you're a good man, and I'm ashamed I
didn't know it before.
1829
01:38:55,471 --> 01:38:57,264
No, it ain't like that, ma'am.
1830
01:38:57,348 --> 01:39:00,350
Johnny was... Well, I don't know.
1831
01:39:00,435 --> 01:39:03,895
Johnny... Johnny always talked about his
family
1832
01:39:04,814 --> 01:39:07,274
like, well, like folks ought to and don't.
1833
01:39:07,984 --> 01:39:13,030
And, whenever he talked about anything,
he always made you...
1834
01:39:13,948 --> 01:39:16,241
You felt better or you wanted to laugh.
1835
01:39:17,410 --> 01:39:19,077
Like that seashell I had there.
1836
01:39:19,537 --> 01:39:22,122
He was always, he was always listening to
it
1837
01:39:22,206 --> 01:39:24,374
and telling you what it was singing.
1838
01:39:26,169 --> 01:39:28,003
He was always giving things like that to
people.
1839
01:39:28,963 --> 01:39:30,088
He...
1840
01:39:31,215 --> 01:39:33,342
He was a fine man, Mrs. Nolan.
1841
01:39:39,057 --> 01:39:42,017
I'd be glad to let the children work for
you, Mr. McGarrity.
1842
01:39:43,394 --> 01:39:46,688
And the $4 a week will keep us until the
baby comes,
1843
01:39:46,773 --> 01:39:48,398
and Francie won't have to quit school
1844
01:39:48,483 --> 01:39:50,150
and she can keep on, and they can both...
1845
01:39:56,741 --> 01:39:58,700
Well, it's a deal then. And you tell 'em
1846
01:39:58,785 --> 01:40:01,495
to come through the family entrance
tomorrow after school.
1847
01:40:03,873 --> 01:40:05,749
Is that all right with you, Francie?
1848
01:40:06,292 --> 01:40:08,085
Yes.
1849
01:40:09,420 --> 01:40:12,506
Well, well, it's settled then
1850
01:40:12,590 --> 01:40:15,008
and, good day to you, Mrs. Nolan.
1851
01:40:15,093 --> 01:40:17,177
And thank you again, Mr. McGarrity.
1852
01:40:19,514 --> 01:40:21,598
Francie. Yes, Mama.
1853
01:40:23,893 --> 01:40:26,311
I'm glad you can keep on with your school.
1854
01:40:26,938 --> 01:40:29,064
I was hoping something like this would
happen,
1855
01:40:29,148 --> 01:40:32,275
but I didn't want to say anything until
the time come.
1856
01:40:34,153 --> 01:40:36,571
But your papa and I talked it all over
1857
01:40:36,656 --> 01:40:38,615
and there were reasons.
1858
01:40:39,826 --> 01:40:42,619
And there just wasn't any other way.
1859
01:40:44,122 --> 01:40:47,874
It doesn't matter. Papa saved me from it.
1860
01:41:04,308 --> 01:41:05,642
Hiya, kid.
1861
01:41:05,727 --> 01:41:06,977
Well, they're sure taking chances.
1862
01:41:07,061 --> 01:41:08,770
I wouldn't, leaving you handle them eats.
1863
01:41:08,855 --> 01:41:10,689
Where's Francie? (MUFFLED) Kitchen.
1864
01:41:10,773 --> 01:41:12,858
Thanks. Hiya, Mac.
1865
01:41:12,984 --> 01:41:14,693
Hello, kid. How are you, lamb? Hello,
Aunt Sissy.
1866
01:41:14,777 --> 01:41:16,445
Look. You got to do something for me.
1867
01:41:16,571 --> 01:41:18,238
This was in the paper, and I cut it out.
1868
01:41:18,322 --> 01:41:21,783
You got to read it to me, and... What's
the matter, hon?
1869
01:41:21,909 --> 01:41:24,453
Nothing. I'm all right, Aunt Sissy. No,
you ain't.
1870
01:41:24,537 --> 01:41:25,829
You ain't been since...
1871
01:41:25,913 --> 01:41:28,749
Look. Don't you think you better spill it
to your Aunt Sissy?
1872
01:41:28,833 --> 01:41:30,959
What is it you want me to read to you,
Aunt Sissy?
1873
01:41:31,043 --> 01:41:33,003
Well, we'll get that out of the way first.
1874
01:41:33,087 --> 01:41:34,963
Look. Here it is. Likely you don't
remember him.
1875
01:41:35,047 --> 01:41:36,548
But it's my last husband, Bill.
1876
01:41:36,632 --> 01:41:38,258
The one I thought was dead, but he ain't.
1877
01:41:38,342 --> 01:41:39,426
He's got his picture in there,
1878
01:41:39,510 --> 01:41:40,594
and I wanna know what it says.
1879
01:41:40,678 --> 01:41:42,304
Maybe it says where he lives so as I can
write to him
1880
01:41:42,388 --> 01:41:44,055
about getting a divorce or something.
1881
01:41:44,140 --> 01:41:45,932
I got the best husband in all the world now
1882
01:41:46,017 --> 01:41:48,185
and I don't want this here one bobbing up
and making no trouble.
1883
01:41:48,644 --> 01:41:50,812
He's a fireman someplace. I can tell that
from his clothes.
1884
01:41:50,897 --> 01:41:52,272
He was just starting out in the fireman
business...
1885
01:41:52,356 --> 01:41:54,775
This says he's a hero. He saved some
people in a fire.
1886
01:41:54,859 --> 01:41:56,401
Does it say where?
1887
01:41:56,486 --> 01:41:58,236
The 9th Precinct, Manhattan.
1888
01:41:58,321 --> 01:41:59,571
Manhattan, huh?
1889
01:41:59,655 --> 01:42:01,782
Couldn't make the grade in Brooklyn, I
guess.
1890
01:42:01,866 --> 01:42:04,117
I want you to write to him, Francie.
Write this,
1891
01:42:04,202 --> 01:42:05,452
"Dear Bill..."
1892
01:42:05,536 --> 01:42:07,621
This says his name is Roland Polaski.
1893
01:42:07,705 --> 01:42:09,790
That's right, I remember.
1894
01:42:09,874 --> 01:42:12,125
Make it "Dear Mr. Polaski.
1895
01:42:12,210 --> 01:42:14,252
"Being's as now I'm married to somebody
else
1896
01:42:14,337 --> 01:42:17,088
"I want you to see about getting a real
legal divorce
1897
01:42:17,173 --> 01:42:19,549
"because I thought you was dead, but you
ain't.
1898
01:42:19,634 --> 01:42:22,010
"And because you got the money now on
account of the reward.
1899
01:42:22,094 --> 01:42:23,970
"Yours very truly, Sissy." Something like
that.
1900
01:42:24,055 --> 01:42:26,306
But, Aunt Sissy, he must have already
done that.
1901
01:42:26,390 --> 01:42:28,099
Because it says here he's married again.
1902
01:42:28,768 --> 01:42:30,143
It does?
1903
01:42:30,228 --> 01:42:31,812
"On the human interest side of the story,
1904
01:42:31,896 --> 01:42:34,898
"Mrs. Polaski had returned home only the
day before from the hospital
1905
01:42:34,982 --> 01:42:37,734
"after presenting Mr. Polaski with a brand
-new son,
1906
01:42:37,819 --> 01:42:39,528
"the fourth child of the marriage."
1907
01:42:39,612 --> 01:42:42,322
So, if he got a divorce that long ago,
you don't have to.
1908
01:42:42,406 --> 01:42:43,824
Then my being married to Bill,
1909
01:42:43,908 --> 01:42:45,242
this one, I mean, is all legal?
1910
01:42:46,077 --> 01:42:49,037
Well, now, if that ain't a load off my
chest.
1911
01:42:49,121 --> 01:42:52,541
You know something? I think I'll give
Bill Polaski a wedding present.
1912
01:42:52,625 --> 01:42:55,460
But Aunt Sissy, you can't. He's been
married for years.
1913
01:42:56,254 --> 01:43:00,382
Four kids, huh? Must be a pretty sickly
woman, this Mrs. Polaski,
1914
01:43:00,466 --> 01:43:02,509
going to the hospital just to have a baby.
1915
01:43:02,593 --> 01:43:04,845
No. Lots of people go there now to have
babies.
1916
01:43:04,929 --> 01:43:06,012
It's better.
1917
01:43:06,097 --> 01:43:09,182
Sure enough? You know something?
1918
01:43:09,934 --> 01:43:11,393
I'm gonna cash in my funeral policy
1919
01:43:11,477 --> 01:43:12,936
and have my baby at a hospital.
1920
01:43:13,563 --> 01:43:15,939
And when my baby is born and lives,
1921
01:43:16,816 --> 01:43:19,526
I want you to write that R. Polaski and
announce it.
1922
01:43:19,610 --> 01:43:21,319
Boy, do I feel better!
1923
01:43:21,404 --> 01:43:23,280
And, now, chickabiddy, we'll talk about
you.
1924
01:43:23,406 --> 01:43:25,490
Can't your Aunt Sissy help you any? I'm
all right.
1925
01:43:25,575 --> 01:43:27,742
No, you aren't, honey, not all shut up
like that.
1926
01:43:27,827 --> 01:43:29,911
I know how you feel, but you can't keep
hanging on to it.
1927
01:43:29,996 --> 01:43:32,038
I'm all right. I don't want to talk about
it.
1928
01:43:32,874 --> 01:43:34,916
All right, baby. All right.
1929
01:43:35,001 --> 01:43:37,502
But I'll tell you what. You can do
something for me.
1930
01:43:38,254 --> 01:43:41,131
Look. Your mama feels awful bad, too.
1931
01:43:42,008 --> 01:43:44,718
She needs you. Why don't you talk to her
about it?
1932
01:43:44,802 --> 01:43:46,094
She doesn't need me. Yes, she does.
1933
01:43:46,178 --> 01:43:47,512
No, she doesn't! She's got Neeley!
1934
01:43:47,597 --> 01:43:49,222
Why wasn't it Neeley she was going to
make quit school?
1935
01:43:49,307 --> 01:43:50,682
He never cared about it.
1936
01:43:50,766 --> 01:43:52,434
She doesn't love me like Papa did,
1937
01:43:52,518 --> 01:43:54,686
and she didn't love him, either. Not
really.
1938
01:43:54,770 --> 01:43:58,064
She hurt him. I saw her. And he never
hurt anybody.
1939
01:43:58,149 --> 01:44:00,317
I'm gonna finish this grade because he
gave it to me.
1940
01:44:00,401 --> 01:44:03,194
And then I'll work for her, but she can't
be Papa to me.
1941
01:44:03,279 --> 01:44:04,404
She can't ever!
1942
01:44:04,488 --> 01:44:05,864
Don't be like that, baby. Don't.
1943
01:44:05,948 --> 01:44:08,241
Leave me alone. I'm all right.
1944
01:44:08,326 --> 01:44:10,619
Please go away and leave me alone.
1945
01:44:12,997 --> 01:44:15,916
All right, chickabiddy. All right.
1946
01:44:23,341 --> 01:44:25,342
Mr. Stern. Yes, sir.
1947
01:44:31,223 --> 01:44:34,184
Francie. Yes, Mama?
1948
01:44:37,355 --> 01:44:38,688
I want to talk to you, Francie.
1949
01:44:43,861 --> 01:44:45,195
Yes, Mama.
1950
01:44:45,529 --> 01:44:46,905
It isn't gonna be long now,
1951
01:44:47,657 --> 01:44:49,866
for me, I mean, my baby.
1952
01:44:51,160 --> 01:44:52,577
We can't come to a hospital.
1953
01:44:53,287 --> 01:44:56,206
There isn't even gonna be enough money
for a woman to come and help.
1954
01:44:58,459 --> 01:44:59,876
I'm gonna need you, Francie.
1955
01:45:02,421 --> 01:45:04,839
Don't ever be far away. Neeley's...
1956
01:45:05,466 --> 01:45:07,884
Well, a boy ain't much good at a time
like this.
1957
01:45:09,053 --> 01:45:10,261
I'm counting on you, Francie.
1958
01:45:11,555 --> 01:45:12,889
You won't forget that, will you?
1959
01:45:14,558 --> 01:45:17,435
All right, Mama. I'll remember.
1960
01:45:18,312 --> 01:45:20,021
Which one of you is Mr. Stephen Edwards?
1961
01:45:20,439 --> 01:45:21,773
That's me.
1962
01:45:22,191 --> 01:45:23,733
Well, there are three in your family now.
1963
01:45:23,818 --> 01:45:25,276
You're the father of a pretty fine boy.
1964
01:45:25,361 --> 01:45:27,028
Alive? Very much so.
1965
01:45:27,113 --> 01:45:28,780
He was a little reluctant about it at
first.
1966
01:45:28,864 --> 01:45:31,324
I had to rouse him with a little oxygen.
Now, he's mad at me.
1967
01:45:31,409 --> 01:45:33,410
You ought to hear him. I've got to see him.
1968
01:45:33,494 --> 01:45:36,246
Well, neither one of them are quite up to
a visit just now.
1969
01:45:36,330 --> 01:45:37,664
In a little while.
1970
01:45:37,832 --> 01:45:39,124
The learning...
1971
01:45:39,208 --> 01:45:41,835
The learning that saved that baby.
1972
01:45:41,919 --> 01:45:44,045
That's fine, Bill.
1973
01:45:44,130 --> 01:45:45,880
Where are you going, Uncle Bill?
1974
01:45:45,965 --> 01:45:49,009
I'm going out and get some strawberry ice
cream and a rattle for my son.
1975
01:45:49,093 --> 01:45:52,012
And what's more, my name ain't Bill. It's
Steve.
1976
01:45:52,096 --> 01:45:54,764
Do you hear that? I'm a papa, and my
name's Steve.
1977
01:45:54,849 --> 01:45:56,808
And it's Uncle Steve, too.
1978
01:45:57,226 --> 01:46:00,270
Steve. Steve. Steve.
1979
01:46:00,896 --> 01:46:03,064
So, we have a man in the family.
1980
01:46:10,448 --> 01:46:12,574
As quick as we see if she's all right,
you go on up to McGarrity's
1981
01:46:12,658 --> 01:46:14,325
and see if you can do my work, too.
1982
01:46:14,410 --> 01:46:17,370
I'm gonna finish her scrubbing for her.
She ought not to do any more.
1983
01:46:17,455 --> 01:46:19,622
She wasn't feeling good this morning.
1984
01:46:23,252 --> 01:46:24,419
Mama!
1985
01:46:26,547 --> 01:46:27,797
(GASPS)
1986
01:46:31,802 --> 01:46:33,136
Mama?
1987
01:46:33,679 --> 01:46:34,846
In here, Francie.
1988
01:46:37,975 --> 01:46:39,350
You wait here.
1989
01:46:42,688 --> 01:46:43,980
You all right, Mama?
1990
01:46:49,779 --> 01:46:52,989
Give Neeley a nickel to go after Grandma
and Sissy.
1991
01:46:54,075 --> 01:46:56,201
He can walk home after.
1992
01:46:56,285 --> 01:46:58,203
Get me a nightgown in that bottom drawer.
1993
01:47:05,669 --> 01:47:07,670
Hurry! Don't stand there staring.
1994
01:47:16,013 --> 01:47:17,138
Is she going to die?
1995
01:47:17,223 --> 01:47:18,348
Of course not. It's the baby.
1996
01:47:18,432 --> 01:47:20,266
You heard what Mama said, and hurry.
1997
01:47:20,351 --> 01:47:22,727
And don't forget stopping at McGarrity's
on the way back.
1998
01:47:22,812 --> 01:47:26,314
We can't lose the work. She only wants me
now.
1999
01:47:34,532 --> 01:47:35,698
Mama!
2000
01:47:36,408 --> 01:47:37,575
What is it?
2001
01:47:38,327 --> 01:47:40,370
I'll be there in a minute.
2002
01:48:07,064 --> 01:48:09,357
You're taking real good care of me,
Francie.
2003
01:48:10,651 --> 01:48:11,734
Am I, Mama?
2004
01:48:22,079 --> 01:48:23,371
Mmm.
2005
01:48:26,000 --> 01:48:27,208
Tastes good.
2006
01:48:36,844 --> 01:48:39,012
Can I get you a glass of water, Mama?
2007
01:48:39,096 --> 01:48:41,181
When I want something, I'll ask for it.
2008
01:48:42,099 --> 01:48:43,433
Yes, Mama.
2009
01:48:44,727 --> 01:48:48,271
Don't just stand there and throw
questions at me. I'm too tired.
2010
01:48:49,607 --> 01:48:51,399
You'd better have some coffee, too.
2011
01:48:51,483 --> 01:48:53,276
Mama, even if Neeley is a boy,
2012
01:48:53,360 --> 01:48:54,777
wouldn't you rather have him here?
2013
01:48:54,862 --> 01:48:56,112
He's always such a comfort to you.
2014
01:48:56,197 --> 01:48:58,531
No, it's you that's a comfort. Now, what
time is it?
2015
01:48:58,616 --> 01:49:00,617
I don't know, Mama. Get the clock.
2016
01:49:10,794 --> 01:49:12,420
One minute to 4:00, Mama.
2017
01:49:12,922 --> 01:49:14,464
Are you sure it isn't slow?
2018
01:49:14,965 --> 01:49:16,299
No, Mama.
2019
01:49:16,967 --> 01:49:18,468
Maybe it's fast then.
2020
01:49:19,887 --> 01:49:22,180
I'll look at the jeweler's clock out the
parlor window!

2023
01:49:35,110 --> 01:49:36,903
That was the night I told him.
2024
01:49:45,204 --> 01:49:47,622
It's nice having a visit from my daughter.
2025
01:49:50,584 --> 01:49:53,169
I didn't want for you to have to grow up
so soon.
2026
01:49:54,296 --> 01:49:56,756
I didn't want for you to have to quit
school.
2027
01:49:56,840 --> 01:49:59,759
I tried to tell him that. He didn't mind
about the baby
2028
01:49:59,843 --> 01:50:02,720
but he never forgive me for wanting you
to quit school.
2029
01:50:03,681 --> 01:50:06,849
I told him, and he just went out.
2030
01:50:08,602 --> 01:50:09,936
You never forgive me, either.
2031
01:50:10,020 --> 01:50:11,187
Please don't, Mama.
2032
01:50:11,272 --> 01:50:13,690
He would've bought you dolls instead of
milk, and...
2033
01:50:13,774 --> 01:50:15,358
I don't know. Maybe you would've been
happier.
2034
01:50:15,442 --> 01:50:16,484
I don't know.
2035
01:50:16,568 --> 01:50:20,029
I never would've thought of giving you
that school like he did.
2036
01:50:20,114 --> 01:50:22,407
And all them fine compositions of yours,
2037
01:50:23,409 --> 01:50:25,076
I never read one of 'em.
2038
01:50:25,160 --> 01:50:27,996
I should've had time. Johnny did.
2039
01:50:28,080 --> 01:50:29,914
But I couldn't do no different.
2040
01:50:29,999 --> 01:50:32,000
I don't know how I could do any different.
2041
01:50:39,550 --> 01:50:40,591
What time is it?
2042
01:50:42,011 --> 01:50:43,845
One minute after 4:00, Mama.
2043
01:50:45,389 --> 01:50:48,099
Wring a cloth out of cold water and wipe
my face.
2044
01:51:00,571 --> 01:51:02,530
Don't let her die. Please!
2045
01:51:18,464 --> 01:51:22,258
Mama, suppose the baby comes before
Grandma and Aunt Sissy get here?
2046
01:51:22,926 --> 01:51:25,219
You can see I couldn't do no different,
can't you?
2047
01:51:26,638 --> 01:51:30,391
Neeley, he don't like school. If he'd
quit, he'd never go back again.
2048
01:51:31,226 --> 01:51:33,686
But you, no matter what happens, you'd
find a way to go back.
2049
01:51:33,771 --> 01:51:37,023
You'd fight to go back. You can see that,
can't you?
2050
01:51:38,359 --> 01:51:39,525
I...
2051
01:51:41,278 --> 01:51:42,362
Yes, Mama.
2052
01:51:43,947 --> 01:51:45,281
Read me something, Francie.
2053
01:51:45,616 --> 01:51:46,949
Yes, Mama.
2054
01:51:47,701 --> 01:51:49,243
Read me one of your compositions.
2055
01:51:49,328 --> 01:51:51,621
I ain't never read any of your
compositions.
2056
01:51:51,789 --> 01:51:53,122
It's on my conscience.
2057
01:51:58,879 --> 01:52:00,380
I tore all those up.
2058
01:52:00,923 --> 01:52:02,465
No, you didn't.
2059
01:52:03,008 --> 01:52:04,133
Not all of them.
2060
01:52:06,595 --> 01:52:09,472
Can't I read you Shakespeare? It's much
better.
2061
01:52:11,141 --> 01:52:12,767
Read "'Twas on a Night Like This."
2062
01:52:13,185 --> 01:52:15,395
I'd like to have something pretty on my
mind.
2063

2066
01:52:33,205 --> 01:52:36,582
Say, did you ever find out who Troilus
was and Cressida?
2067
01:52:36,667 --> 01:52:38,126
Yes, Mama. Troilus was...
2068
01:52:38,210 --> 01:52:40,294
Some other day when I've got time.
2069
01:52:40,379 --> 01:52:42,505
Read me one of your compositions now.
2070
01:52:43,006 --> 01:52:44,132
You won't like them, Mama.
2071
01:52:44,216 --> 01:52:45,925
You thought about 'em, and you worked on
'em
2072
01:52:46,009 --> 01:52:47,635
and you got good marks on 'em.
2073
01:52:48,262 --> 01:52:49,345
Get 'em, I said.

01:53:23,380 --> 01:53:24,464

01:53:29,011 --> 01:53:30,136
Go on.
2076
01:53:33,307 --> 01:53:37,018
It's called "The Man People Loved."
2077
01:53:39,396 --> 01:53:41,063
Please don't make me read it, Mama.
2078
01:53:41,148 --> 01:53:42,440
Read it.

him that he was a failure.

making money,

always felt like that.

2090
01:54:20,687 --> 01:54:23,689
You're real smart to write it down like
that, Francie.

if I can manage.

you, Francie?

go to Neeley's.

I'm Neeley's aunt. This is his ma.
2187
02:00:28,263 --> 02:00:31,724
But that's his sister. What's your name,
big boy?
2188
02:00:31,933 --> 02:00:33,017
Herschel Knutsen.
2189
02:00:33,101 --> 02:00:35,895
Mr. Knutsen, I'd like for you to meet my
niece,
2190
02:00:35,979 --> 02:00:37,771
Miss Francie Nolan.
2191
02:00:39,441 --> 02:00:40,566
Pleased to meet you.
2192
02:00:40,984 --> 02:00:42,151
Hello.
2193
02:00:44,779 --> 02:00:47,990
Nice night if it don't rain. Sit down,
Herschel.
2194
02:00:53,663 --> 02:00:55,831
Doing anything tomorrow afternoon, Miss
Nolan?
2195
02:00:55,916 --> 02:00:57,124
It's Saturday.
2196
02:00:57,208 --> 02:00:59,460
I don't know. Why?
2197
02:00:59,544 --> 02:01:04,089
Well, there's a swell picture, Bill Hart.
Maybe you'd like to go.
2198
02:01:04,174 --> 02:01:05,257
Who with?
2199
02:01:05,342 --> 02:01:06,550
Me.
2200
02:01:07,010 --> 02:01:08,260
Oh.
2201
02:01:15,977 --> 02:01:19,730
Well, I might be busy. I'll let you know.
2202
02:01:19,814 --> 02:01:21,899
Well, I'll come around and see.
2203
02:01:21,983 --> 02:01:24,652
Hey! I thought we was gonna play ball
tomorrow.
2204
02:01:24,736 --> 02:01:26,779
Yeah. Well, we can do that any time.
2205
02:01:26,863 --> 02:01:28,155
Sure. There's lots of time.
2206
02:01:28,239 --> 02:01:29,782
Come on, Hersch.
2207
02:01:29,866 --> 02:01:32,451
Well, I'll be seeing you, Miss Nolan.
2208
02:01:35,914 --> 02:01:37,289
Him, mushy!
2209
02:01:37,666 --> 02:01:40,125
I'm proud of you, chickabiddy. You
handled him fine.
2210
02:01:40,210 --> 02:01:41,877
It was the hair that done it.
2211
02:01:41,962 --> 02:01:43,796
Well, I hate to bust this party up,
2212
02:01:43,880 --> 02:01:45,255
but then babies got to be fed.
2213
02:01:45,340 --> 02:01:47,383
Steve will be needin' a little something,
too.
2214
02:01:47,467 --> 02:01:49,760
Three hours with the both of them.
2215
02:01:49,844 --> 02:01:51,553
Thirty out of 50. Keep the change.
2216
02:01:52,180 --> 02:01:55,015
Well, thank you. Why, Katie Nolan!
2217
02:01:55,100 --> 02:01:56,558
I don't care.
2218
02:01:57,185 --> 02:01:59,019
There's times when feelin' good
2219
02:01:59,104 --> 02:02:01,230
and things like that is important.
2220
02:02:01,314 --> 02:02:02,773
I don't care.
2221
02:02:09,239 --> 02:02:11,657
You wanna carry my flowers, Mama?
2222
02:02:23,128 --> 02:02:25,004
He called ya "Miss Nolan."
2223
02:02:25,088 --> 02:02:26,880
You missed it, Steve!
2224
02:02:26,965 --> 02:02:29,174
Well, hello, handsome.
2225
02:02:29,300 --> 02:02:31,510
I'm beggin' your pardon, Mrs. Nolan.
2226
02:02:31,594 --> 02:02:32,970
I just happened to drop in,
2227
02:02:33,054 --> 02:02:36,640
and your brother
-in
-law here seemed to be needing a little help.
2228
02:02:36,725 --> 02:02:40,769
And the baby didn't seem to mind, so... I
hope I'm not intrudin'.
2229
02:02:41,646 --> 02:02:44,023
Well, not at all, Mr. McShane.
2230
02:02:47,152 --> 02:02:51,989
You sit right down. We're going home.
Come along, Steve.
2231
02:02:55,160 --> 02:02:56,744
I'll take her, Mr. McShane.
2232
02:02:56,828 --> 02:02:58,662
I'd like it if you'd leave her.
2233
02:02:58,747 --> 02:03:01,457
Her and me has got to be good friends.
2234
02:03:04,794 --> 02:03:06,253
Well, I wish you didn't have to hurry.
2235
02:03:06,337 --> 02:03:08,297
Got to get this family of mine home.
2236
02:03:08,381 --> 02:03:13,093
Steve's got to deliver milk to a lot of
those babies that like that bottled kind.
2237
02:03:13,178 --> 02:03:15,804
You don't want to frown like that, Katie.
2238
02:03:16,556 --> 02:03:18,599
The fellas don't go for that at all.
2239
02:03:18,683 --> 02:03:20,768
Goodbye, kids. So long, Mac.
2240
02:03:21,144 --> 02:03:22,936
So long, Mrs. Edwards.
2241
02:03:23,021 --> 02:03:24,980
Thank you, Aunt Sissy.
2242
02:03:28,485 --> 02:03:29,485
Goodbye, Mac.
2243
02:03:29,569 --> 02:03:30,819
Mr. Edwards, goodbye.
2244
02:03:34,657 --> 02:03:35,824
Well...
2245
02:03:37,368 --> 02:03:40,537
Well, I will take the baby from you, Mr.
McShane.
2246
02:03:48,588 --> 02:03:49,963
Mrs. Nolan.
2247
02:03:53,009 --> 02:03:56,345
Likely you've been wonderin' why I came
here tonight.
2248
02:03:57,972 --> 02:04:01,600
Let your wonderin' be over, because I
came here on a personal matter.
2249
02:04:01,684 --> 02:04:03,018
Mama, shall I go and...
2250
02:04:03,103 --> 02:04:05,479
No, no, don't be leaving, children.
2251
02:04:05,563 --> 02:04:09,858
My conversation will be concernin' you as
well as your mother.
2252
02:04:14,739 --> 02:04:18,909
Mrs. Nolan, I feel that there's no
disrespect
2253
02:04:18,993 --> 02:04:20,869
in my speaking my mind at this time.
2254
02:04:21,621 --> 02:04:25,290
And I feel a decent time has elapsed
2255
02:04:25,708 --> 02:04:29,878
since the passin' of Mrs. McShane, God
rest her soul.
2256
02:04:31,714 --> 02:04:34,133
I didn't know, Mr. McShane.
2257
02:04:34,217 --> 02:04:35,300
I'm sorry.
2258
02:04:35,385 --> 02:04:36,969
Well, I said nothin', Mrs. Nolan,
2259
02:04:37,053 --> 02:04:39,847
because it was near the time of your own
bereavement.
2260
02:04:39,931 --> 02:04:42,057
And I didn't wish to...
2261
02:04:42,142 --> 02:04:44,768
Well, I know that it's barely six months
now
2262
02:04:44,853 --> 02:04:50,149
since your own husband, too, left this
world. Rest his soul.
2263
02:04:51,776 --> 02:04:56,155
But when you feel a decent interval has
elapsed,
2264
02:04:57,073 --> 02:05:00,200
I'm askin' to keep company with you,
Katherine Nolan,
2265
02:05:00,285 --> 02:05:05,122
with the object of a weddin' when a
decent time has elapsed.
2266
02:05:08,501 --> 02:05:10,085
And for my part,
2267
02:05:11,796 --> 02:05:14,423
I'll be glad to keep company with you,
Mr. McShane,
2268
02:05:15,466 --> 02:05:18,177
not for the help you can give us,
2269
02:05:18,261 --> 02:05:21,138
because we know we can manage some way.
2270
02:05:21,222 --> 02:05:25,517
But because you're a good man, Mr. McShane.
2271
02:05:31,774 --> 02:05:36,486
And there's one more thing.
2272
02:05:37,822 --> 02:05:43,535
Their father was a fine man, and I'd have
no wish to be tryin' to take his place.
2273
02:05:44,454 --> 02:05:50,500
It would be more my intention to be like
a real good friend.
2274
02:05:51,461 --> 02:05:55,130
Now, as the eldest, would you be approvin'?
2275
02:05:59,427 --> 02:06:00,969
Yes, Mr. McShane.
2276
02:06:05,475 --> 02:06:08,477
I was thinkin' it wouldn't be right
2277
02:06:08,561 --> 02:06:11,480
for me to ask the two eldest to take my
name.
2278
02:06:12,315 --> 02:06:17,069
But the little one, the one who has never
looked on her father,
2279
02:06:17,153 --> 02:06:20,572
could you be thinkin' of lettin' me
legally adopt her?
2280
02:06:23,284 --> 02:06:28,038
If that time comes, the child shall have
your name.
2281
02:06:31,918 --> 02:06:34,878
And now I'm wonderin' if I could smoke my
pipe.
2282
02:06:36,714 --> 02:06:38,840
You could have smoked anytime, Mr. McShane.
2283
02:06:40,385 --> 02:06:43,887
Well, I didn't want to take any
privileges before I was entitled to 'em.
2284
02:06:48,768 --> 02:06:50,185
Help me put her to bed, Neeley.
2285
02:06:50,270 --> 02:06:51,478
Why?
2286
02:06:51,562 --> 02:06:53,021
To fix the blankets.
2287
02:07:02,407 --> 02:07:04,866
I'll be heatin' up the coffee now.
2288
02:07:08,079 --> 02:07:11,039
Will ya join me in a cup, Mr. McShane?
2289
02:07:12,000 --> 02:07:14,376
Thank you, Katherine. I will.
2290
02:07:17,046 --> 02:07:18,880
Annie Laurie McShane.
2291
02:07:20,049 --> 02:07:21,216
Yeah.
2292
02:07:21,301 --> 02:07:23,969
She'll never have the hard times we had,
will she?
2293
02:07:24,053 --> 02:07:26,430
She'll never have the fun, either.
2294
02:07:27,265 --> 02:07:29,975
We did have fun when we were young,
didn't we?
2295
02:07:30,059 --> 02:07:31,184
Yeah.
2296
02:07:31,769 --> 02:07:34,187
Remember the olden days when we collected
junk?
2297
02:07:34,397 --> 02:07:35,814
Poor Laurie.
2298
02:07:36,399 --> 02:07:38,942
Neeley, look at the tree.
2299
02:07:40,278 --> 02:07:43,363
It's growing again, just like Papa said.
2300
02:07:45,116 --> 02:07:49,870
I feel kind of sad, like we're saying
goodbye to something.
2301
02:07:49,954 --> 02:07:51,079
Yeah.
2302
02:07:53,791 --> 02:07:55,334
Neeley? Mmm
-hmm?
2303
02:07:57,503 --> 02:07:58,628
Am I good
-looking?
2304
02:07:58,713 --> 02:08:00,213
What's eatin' ya?
2305
02:08:00,298 --> 02:08:02,632
No, honest, Neeley. I wanna know.
2306
02:08:08,014 --> 02:08:09,431
You'll pass.
2307
02:08:10,725 --> 02:08:12,059
You're sweet, Neeley.
2308
02:08:12,143 --> 02:08:13,602
Oh, cut the mush.
2309
02:08:40,171 --> 02:08:41,171
