She'll get it one o'clock.

He'll be home at midnight

Why is he working?

277
00:17:33,380 --> 00:17:36,540
Because Marcus is in the army
and because your father is gone.

278
00:17:37,393 --> 00:17:40,633
Because we must have money to buy food
and clothing and pay the rent.

280

And who's the poor?

281
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:47,080
They're the people who haven't enough food
or clothing or money.

282
00:17:47,860 --> 00:17:49,700
But the real poor
are the poor in spirit.

283
00:17:50,279 --> 00:17:54,419
Because they have no faith, no laughter,
no song and no love.

284
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:57,200
Couldn't we give them a song?

285
00:17:58,200 --> 00:17:59,200
Perhaps.

286
00:17:59,633 --> 00:18:01,913
It isn't easy to give
to the poor in spirit.

287
00:18:02,020 --> 00:18:03,580
But we ought to give all that we can.

288
00:18:04,120 --> 00:18:07,100
Because we get more out of this life
than we can ever put in it.

for you to understand.

If we wait, will he come home
like Marcus after the war?

301

Not the way you mean.

302
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:49,553
He won't come walking down the street,
up the steps,

303
00:18:49,721 --> 00:18:52,651
across the porch and into the house,
the way he used to.

00:32:54,110 --> 00:32:55,496
but I can say it slowly, too.

532
00:32:55,695 --> 00:32:57,563
It's always just the spirit
of the whole thing.

533
00:32:57,930 --> 00:32:59,610
And what do the words mean Homer?

534
00:33:02,816 --> 00:33:03,816
Well, they...

535
00:33:04,291 --> 00:33:05,450
They mean...

536
00:33:06,209 --> 00:33:07,249
What they say.

537
00:33:07,410 --> 00:33:08,690
And what do they say?

538
00:33:09,722 --> 00:33:11,319
Oh, well...

539
00:33:11,951 --> 00:33:12,951
Uhh..

540
00:33:13,176 --> 00:33:14,496
Be present at our table, Lord.

541
00:33:15,576 --> 00:33:16,976
Lord means a lot of things.

542
00:33:17,245 --> 00:33:19,465
And, I guess all of them are good.

543
00:33:20,309 --> 00:33:21,969
And be here and everywhere adored.

544
00:33:22,612 --> 00:33:23,612
Uhh..

545
00:33:23,754 --> 00:33:26,593
It means be... uhh...

546
00:33:26,951 --> 00:33:29,756
to love the good things here
and everywhere else.

547
00:33:30,109 --> 00:33:32,212
And the creatures...

548
00:33:32,296 --> 00:33:35,990
The creatures, that's you and Mom
and myself and everybody.

549
00:33:36,836 --> 00:33:39,831
Bless... means to...

550
00:33:41,276 --> 00:33:42,276
Bless.

551
00:33:42,650 --> 00:33:43,650
Bless.

552
00:33:43,690 --> 00:33:46,284
Well, bless is maybe to forgive.

553
00:33:46,608 --> 00:33:48,930
I don't know, or to love or watch over
something like that.

554
00:33:49,417 --> 00:33:53,269
And grant that we may feast
in paradise with thee.

555
00:33:53,850 --> 00:33:55,594
Mom, does that mean
that if you're right,

556
00:33:55,619 --> 00:33:57,675
you feast in paradise every time
you sit down at the table?

557
00:33:57,700 --> 00:33:58,770
That's about right, Homer.

558
00:33:59,181 --> 00:34:00,610
What about the 220 low hurdles?

559
00:34:02,889 --> 00:34:03,966
Oh, well...

560
00:34:04,357 --> 00:34:07,230
That's the track meet this afternoon.
I've just got to win it Mom.

561
00:34:07,502 --> 00:34:09,428
Mr. Spangler won it when he
went to Ithaca High.

562
00:34:09,703 --> 00:34:10,800
He's a great guy.

563
00:34:10,888 --> 00:34:13,661
Brought over some stew-dried peaches
that I made for Papa, Mrs. McCall--

564
00:34:13,686 --> 00:34:14,809
Thank you, Mary.
How is Papa?

565
00:34:14,836 --> 00:34:16,201
Sit down, Mary.
I'll get another chair.

566
00:34:16,235 --> 00:34:17,298
No, I already ate, thanks.

567
00:34:17,570 --> 00:34:18,770
He's an air raid warden now.

568
00:34:19,242 --> 00:34:20,799
Morning or night,
he likes to tease me.

569
00:34:20,970 --> 00:34:23,779
First thing that he said this morning was,
any new letters for Marcus?

570
00:34:24,530 --> 00:34:26,015
We'll be getting another letter soon.

571
00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:27,920
Come on, Mary.
We've got to go or we'll be late.

572
00:34:27,967 --> 00:34:28,970
All right.

573
00:34:28,995 --> 00:34:31,974
To tell you the truth, Mr. McCauley,
I'm getting tired of going to college.

574
00:34:31,999 --> 00:34:35,083
I'd honest to goodness like to go out
and find myself a defense job somewhere.

575
00:34:35,110 --> 00:34:36,110
So would I, Mom.

576
00:34:36,135 --> 00:34:38,251
Now since you're both children
you're helping the Red Cross.

577
00:34:38,276 --> 00:34:39,276
You're doing your part.

578
00:34:39,390 --> 00:34:41,780
Oh, but it just doesn't seem right,
with Marcus in the army

579
00:34:41,805 --> 00:34:43,940
and the whole world
gouging each other's eyes out.

580
00:34:44,524 --> 00:34:46,160
Gee, I wish I was a man.

581
00:34:46,336 --> 00:34:47,876
So I could be in the army like Marcus.

582
00:34:47,957 --> 00:34:49,450
So, I'd like to be with Marcus, too.

583
00:34:49,489 --> 00:34:50,491
All this will pass.

584
00:34:50,516 --> 00:34:51,940
Everything will be the same again.

585
00:34:52,570 --> 00:34:54,570
I'm glad Marcus is in love
with you, Mary.

586
00:34:54,730 --> 00:34:56,130
You're just like one of the family.

587
00:34:56,190 --> 00:34:57,750
Marcus couldn't find a sweeter girl.

588
00:34:58,270 --> 00:34:59,890
I'd still like to help like Marcus.

589
00:35:00,097 --> 00:35:01,440
- Goodbye.
- Bye, all.

590
00:35:01,530 --> 00:35:03,040
- Bye, Mom.
- Bye.

591
00:35:04,397 --> 00:35:06,124
Mom, did you hear those girls
getting ideas?

592
00:35:06,149 --> 00:35:08,835
Perfectly natural for a couple of girls
to want to flap their wings.

593
00:35:08,971 --> 00:35:11,070
I thought I was going to do
all the work around here.

594
00:35:11,210 --> 00:35:13,372
I know that Marcus wouldn't like
the idea of the two...

595
00:35:15,478 --> 00:35:16,478
All right, Mom.

596
00:35:16,529 --> 00:35:18,222
Okay, I'll see you tonight
when I get home.

597
00:35:18,550 --> 00:35:19,562
Bye.

- Who?
- The black man on the train.

That's a song, Ulysses.

Come on, get your clothes on.

603
00:35:32,216 --> 00:35:34,286
Is he going to be
on the train again today?

604
00:35:34,544 --> 00:35:35,558
Yes.

605
00:35:35,630 --> 00:35:37,070

We now take up the subject of the Assyrians,
where we left off yesterday.

And I want everyone's
undivided attention.

is there?

You must not be rude, Joseph.

619

Especially when you're right.

620
00:37:02,100 --> 00:37:03,111
Okay, I'm sorry.

Very well.

Helen Elliot.

632
00:37:38,410 --> 00:37:41,677
The Assyrians, long of nose,
hair and beard...

633
00:37:42,111 --> 00:37:44,550
developed Nineveh in the north
to a position of great power.

634
00:37:45,350 --> 00:37:48,576
After many vicissitudes with the Hittites,
Egyptians and others...

635
00:37:48,771 --> 00:37:50,770
they conquered Babylon under Tiglath...

636
00:37:51,687 --> 00:37:53,026
- F...
- Felice.

637
00:37:53,556 --> 00:37:56,876
Felice the First, 1100 B.C.

638
00:37:57,570 --> 00:37:59,382
For centuries afterward,
the power veered...

639
00:37:59,407 --> 00:38:02,630
between Nineveh built of stone,
and Babylon built of brick.

640
00:38:03,330 --> 00:38:06,910
There is no connection between the names
Syrian and Assyrian.

641
00:38:07,350 --> 00:38:09,467
And the Assyrians were to fight the
Syrians,

642
00:38:09,491 --> 00:38:12,950
until Tiglath, Felice III conquered them.

643
00:38:13,233 --> 00:38:15,913
How about Hubert Ackley III?
What did he ever conquer or do?

644
00:38:16,008 --> 00:38:17,023
Aw, sit down.

645
00:38:17,048 --> 00:38:19,995
Miss Hicks, I must ask you not to allow,
such willful mischievousness

646
00:38:20,020 --> 00:38:21,133
<i>to go along unpunished.</i>

647
00:38:21,158 --> 00:38:22,292
Suppose you let her
make up her own mind.

648
00:38:22,317 --> 00:38:23,950
I'll have to take matters
into my own hands.

649
00:38:23,975 --> 00:38:26,232
Your name is Hubert Ackley III, isn't it?
Well, what did you ever do?

650
00:38:26,257 --> 00:38:28,247
Or Hubert Ackley II or the first,
for that matter?

651
00:38:28,272 --> 00:38:30,797
Well, at least no Ackley's ever been
a common fanfaron.

652
00:38:31,041 --> 00:38:32,916
Fanfaron? Miss Hicks,
what does that mean?

653
00:38:34,113 --> 00:38:36,210
Listen number three,
don't you start calling me names

654
00:38:36,235 --> 00:38:37,235
I never heard of before.

655
00:38:37,260 --> 00:38:40,145
A fanfaron is a common larrick
and a hoodlum, a braggart.

656
00:38:40,170 --> 00:38:41,310
Sit down, sit down.

657
00:38:41,505 --> 00:38:42,857
A fanfaron. Hah!

659
00:38:45,911 --> 00:38:47,570
will remain in their seats

660
00:38:47,940 --> 00:38:50,290
But, Miss Hicks, what about
the track meet?

661
00:38:50,870 --> 00:38:52,790
I am not interested in the track meet.

662
00:38:53,230 --> 00:38:55,547
The development of your mind
is equally as important

663
00:38:55,572 --> 00:38:58,090
if not more important than
the development of your body.

664
00:38:58,331 --> 00:39:01,150
But, but Miss Hicks,
they're counting on me

665
00:39:01,175 --> 00:39:03,401
to win the 220 low hurdle race
this afternoon.

666
00:39:03,865 --> 00:39:06,753
And I'm afraid Coach Blenton
will insist on my taking part.

667
00:39:06,778 --> 00:39:08,280
Miss Hicks, if you'll let me go
this time

668
00:39:08,305 --> 00:39:10,590
I promise to be obedient and attentive and
everything like that.

669
00:39:10,615 --> 00:39:13,930
I should like to see just how attentive
you have been Homer McCauley.

00:39:14,630 --> 00:39:16,006
<i>Please review what has been read.</i>

671
00:39:16,417 --> 00:39:17,464
Helen, you may be seated.

672
00:39:19,289 --> 00:39:20,569
<i>Very well, Homer.</i>

673
00:39:24,371 --> 00:39:27,750
Well, she started out with the Assyrians
and their long noses.

674
00:39:28,810 --> 00:39:32,330
People have... always had noses.

675
00:39:33,510 --> 00:39:35,370
Some to smell roses with.

676
00:39:35,843 --> 00:39:36,863
What else?

677
00:39:37,256 --> 00:39:42,333
And that noses are not only for blowing
or getting colds in, but

678
00:39:42,516 --> 00:39:44,566
for keeping the record of ancient
history straight.

679
00:39:44,810 --> 00:39:45,816
Oh someone else please.

680
00:39:45,883 --> 00:39:47,932
Homer seems to have been
carried away by the noses.

681
00:39:47,957 --> 00:39:49,521
No, Miss Hicks, it's right here
in the book.

682
00:39:49,546 --> 00:39:51,632
Why would they put it in there
if it's not important?

683
00:39:51,670 --> 00:39:54,556
Perhaps you'd like to make an
extemporaneous speech on the nose.

684
00:39:54,604 --> 00:39:57,190
Well, not exactly on the nose,

685
00:39:57,375 --> 00:39:59,257
but ancient history tells us one thing,

686
00:39:59,282 --> 00:40:02,770
that uh, people all over the world
had noses.

687
00:40:03,025 --> 00:40:05,045
(LAUGHTER)

688
00:40:05,478 --> 00:40:09,710
To prove that, all you have to do
is to look around in the room here.

689
00:40:10,103 --> 00:40:12,930
Noses, noses all over the place.

690
00:40:13,271 --> 00:40:15,271
(LAUGHTER)

691
00:40:17,720 --> 00:40:20,640
The nose is one of the funniest parts
of the human face.

692
00:40:21,720 --> 00:40:23,940
And it's also a source
of embarrassment.

693
00:40:26,219 --> 00:40:28,419
Some people talk through them.

694
00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:30,060
Most people snore through them.

695
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:32,320
And some people get punched in them.

696
00:40:33,140 --> 00:40:35,921
A handful whistle and sing
through them,

697
00:40:35,988 --> 00:40:38,111
generally the amateurs
on the radio programs.

698
00:40:39,543 --> 00:40:41,837
Noses have been bitten by mad dogs,

699
00:40:41,883 --> 00:40:44,140
and movie actors
in passionate love scenes.

701
00:40:47,086 --> 00:40:48,705
Doors have been slammed on them,

702
00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:52,120
and they've been caught in egg beaters

(LAUGHTER)

704
00:40:57,677 --> 00:40:59,816
The true purpose of the nose,

705
00:41:00,425 --> 00:41:02,740
is to smell what's in the air.

706
00:41:03,731 --> 00:41:07,980
And some people sniff with the nose
at other people's ideas.

707
00:41:09,446 --> 00:41:11,393
One of the most important things
about the nose,

708
00:41:11,418 --> 00:41:14,227
is that it makes trouble, causes wars,
breaks up old friendships,

709
00:41:14,252 --> 00:41:15,386
and wrecks many happy homes.

710
00:41:15,411 --> 00:41:17,099
Now may I go to the track meet,
Miss Hicks?

711
00:41:17,183 --> 00:41:19,379
You're staying after school,
And you, Hubert Ackley.

712

<i>Class dismissed.</i>

713
00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:35,360
- Joe!
- Yes, coach?

714
00:41:35,395 --> 00:41:36,760
Get ready for the 220 low hurdles.

715
00:41:36,848 --> 00:41:39,131
- Where's Ackley?
- Miss Hicks kept him in after school.

716
00:41:39,156 --> 00:41:40,156
Miss Hicks, what for?

717
00:41:40,222 --> 00:41:41,834
He had a little argument
with Homer McCauley.

718
00:41:41,859 --> 00:41:43,108
Oh, is that all?
I'll fix that.

719
00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:44,656
All right fellas, come on let's go.

720
00:41:44,820 --> 00:41:46,840
I didn't keep you in
to punish you boys.

721
00:41:47,152 --> 00:41:48,152
Then why?

722
00:41:48,240 --> 00:41:50,580
I've always kept in only those
who meant the most to me.

723
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:52,500
It's inopportune today, Miss Hicks.

724
00:41:52,860 --> 00:41:54,882
What my children appear to be
on the surface

725
00:41:54,906 --> 00:41:56,114
is no matter to me.

726
00:41:56,660 --> 00:41:58,740
I'm not fooled by gracious manner,

727
00:41:59,460 --> 00:42:02,500
or bad manners, such as I've seen
in this classroom today.

728
00:42:03,240 --> 00:42:04,900
But he had no right to talk about me.

729
00:42:04,990 --> 00:42:06,586
Say, what's the matter with you?
You seem to think,

730
00:42:06,644 --> 00:42:08,426
that you're better than
anyone else around here.

731
00:42:08,500 --> 00:42:11,840
You'll both learn that every man in the world
is better than somebody else,

732
00:42:12,128 --> 00:42:13,867
and not as good as somebody else.

733
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:18,040
<i>In a democratic state, every man
is equal to every other man,</i>

734
00:42:18,140 --> 00:42:19,618
up to the point of exertion.

735
00:42:20,140 --> 00:42:24,160
And then every man is free to
exert himself to do good or not.

736
00:42:24,521 --> 00:42:26,440
To grow nobly or foolishly.

737
00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:31,440
I'm eager for my boys and girls to
exert themselves to do good and grow nobly.

738
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:34,284
I want you to understand,

739
00:42:34,501 --> 00:42:38,024
that each of you will begin to be
real men and truly human,

740
00:42:38,081 --> 00:42:40,810
when in spite of your differences
with one another,

741
00:42:41,221 --> 00:42:42,640
you still respect one another.

742
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:45,880
That's what it means to be civilized.

743
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:49,372
But Miss Hicks is the oldest
and best teacher in this school.

744
00:42:49,780 --> 00:42:52,417
Why, she was my teacher when I went
to Ithaca High and yours too.

745
00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:57,040
No, I wouldn't care to interfere with her
disciplining of a couple of unruly boys.

746
00:42:57,136 --> 00:42:58,683
But Ackley isn't an unruly boy.

747
00:42:58,708 --> 00:43:00,005
He's a perfect little gentleman.

748
00:43:00,030 --> 00:43:01,920
I've trained him especially
for this race.

749
00:43:02,109 --> 00:43:04,400
No doubt. I know he comes from
a well-to-do family.

750
00:43:05,540 --> 00:43:08,260
But if Miss Hicks has asked him
to stay in, then in it is.

751
00:43:08,285 --> 00:43:09,817
I cannot permit favoritism.

752
00:43:11,079 --> 00:43:12,819
He can run the race another time.

- Mr. Blanton?

756
00:43:24,224 --> 00:43:26,550
I have instructions from the principal
regarding Mr. Ackley.

757
00:43:26,575 --> 00:43:28,007
That's very unusual Mr. Blanton.

758
00:43:28,032 --> 00:43:30,751
He's to get into his tracksuit immediately
and run the 220 low hurdles.

759
00:43:30,776 --> 00:43:32,096
Well what about me, Mr. Macaulay?

760
00:43:32,121 --> 00:43:33,367
We're waiting, Hubert.
Come along.

761
00:43:36,930 --> 00:43:38,120
Did you see that, Miss Hicks?

762
00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:39,740
All right, is that
special privilege or not?

763
00:43:39,860 --> 00:43:40,878
It certainly is.

764
00:43:41,176 --> 00:43:43,369
Mr. Blanton's not only
ignorant of sportsmanship,

765
00:43:43,394 --> 00:43:44,435
he's also a liar.

766
00:43:44,751 --> 00:43:45,980
But I don't blame Hubert Ackley.

767
00:43:46,005 --> 00:43:47,600
It was Blanton who
made him disobey me.

768
00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:49,120
And I suppose that's civilized.

769
00:43:49,613 --> 00:43:51,872
I've seen better men
pushed aside by his kind.

00:48:19,538 --> 00:48:20,838
Holy cow, what's that?

876
00:48:21,516 --> 00:48:24,113
Oh, there you are darling,
you did come after all.

877
00:48:24,156 --> 00:48:25,463
Wait a minute, wait a minute.

878
00:48:25,488 --> 00:48:26,488
Don't move in on me.

879
00:48:26,513 --> 00:48:28,551
Don't throw your arms around me
in front of all these people,

880
00:48:28,576 --> 00:48:29,944
no matter how glad
you are to see me.

881
00:48:29,969 --> 00:48:30,993
Just be calm.

882
00:48:31,018 --> 00:48:34,065
Oh darling, nobody else in the world
pushes me around the way you do.

883
00:48:34,097 --> 00:48:36,247
Every other man I know
is a perfect darling with me.

884
00:48:36,329 --> 00:48:37,540
Oh, but I do love you.

885
00:48:37,719 --> 00:48:38,890
Now come and meet my friends.

886
00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:40,914
You said dinner with
your mother and father.

887
00:48:41,433 --> 00:48:43,167
You didn't say anything
about anybody else.

888
00:48:43,633 --> 00:48:45,131
Oh, they just dropped in.

889
00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:47,664
What am I going to say to them?

890
00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:49,480
Just be charming, darling.

891
00:48:49,580 --> 00:48:50,840
You are charming, you know.

892
00:48:51,279 --> 00:48:52,610
I don't feel charming.

893
00:48:52,820 --> 00:48:55,024
If you want to know the truth about it,
I'm hungry.

894
00:48:55,363 --> 00:48:58,080
Oh darling, I'm so pleased
you're here and hungry.

895
00:48:58,293 --> 00:48:59,662
Dinner will be along in a moment.

896
00:49:00,700 --> 00:49:02,640
Wait a minute, don't rush me.

897
00:49:03,360 --> 00:49:05,309
I want to scan the contents
of that dress.

898
00:49:05,626 --> 00:49:06,653
Oh, be still, darling.

899
00:49:06,759 --> 00:49:09,032
Oh Mother, Mother darling,
this is Mr. Spangler.

900
00:49:09,227 --> 00:49:10,769
- Good evening.
- Good evening.

901
00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:12,837
Yes Mother, he's just come from work.

902
00:49:12,862 --> 00:49:14,380
Oh, telegraphy, how fascinating.

903
00:49:14,720 --> 00:49:17,422
Imagine knowing the secrets of
half the people in town.

904
00:49:17,699 --> 00:49:19,033
Oh, ours too.

905
00:49:19,160 --> 00:49:20,200
Don't worry, Mrs. Steed.

906
00:49:20,400 --> 00:49:22,200
- They're quite safe.
- That's a relief.

907
00:49:22,268 --> 00:49:23,882
Come Mother, I want everyone
to meet Tom.

908
00:49:23,928 --> 00:49:25,526
Well you go along,
I want to see father.

909
00:49:25,551 --> 00:49:26,751
He has a headache, poor dear.

910
00:49:27,020 --> 00:49:28,640
You are staying for dinner,
aren't you?

911
00:49:28,862 --> 00:49:30,067
Why of course.

912
00:49:30,546 --> 00:49:31,915
This is Mr. Spangler.

913
00:49:31,947 --> 00:49:33,170
Hello. Remember me?

914
00:49:33,195 --> 00:49:35,119
- I was the fellow in the tight pants.
- Tight pants?

915
00:49:35,144 --> 00:49:36,913
Ithaca High, the 220 low hurdles.

916
00:49:36,938 --> 00:49:38,257
Yes, the day you won
the Valley Championship.

917
00:49:38,291 --> 00:49:40,007
I finished last
and split my running pants.

918
00:49:40,090 --> 00:49:41,090
(LAUGHTER)

919
00:49:41,135 --> 00:49:42,687
Girls, meet the Valley Champion.

920
00:49:42,903 --> 00:49:43,923
Ex-champion.

921
00:49:43,948 --> 00:49:46,820
Darling, you are a great man
after all.

922
00:49:46,911 --> 00:49:47,935
Me? Great?

923
00:49:48,246 --> 00:49:49,940
Well, in a mediocre sort of way.

924
00:49:49,978 --> 00:49:51,037
(LAUGHTER)

925
00:49:51,080 --> 00:49:52,698
- Have a drink, Tom.
- Thank you.

926
00:49:52,822 --> 00:49:53,822
Charles.

927
00:49:53,847 --> 00:49:56,007
<i>TV: In today's news
from the war front,</i>

928
00:49:56,422 --> 00:49:58,536
<i>a devastating
United Nations air attack,</i>

929
00:49:58,607 --> 00:50:01,037
<i>on Japanese sea forces
gathering for a move on a...</i>

930
00:50:01,300 --> 00:50:03,379
Charles, you simply must get dressed
and come down.

931
00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:05,560
But why?
There's a war going on.

932
00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:07,040
I'm interested in it.

933
00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:09,440
And I'm not interested in
Diana's social affairs.

934
00:50:09,557 --> 00:50:11,081
- Mr. Spangler's here.
- Eh?

935
00:50:11,580 --> 00:50:12,598
Who's he?

936
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:15,720
He's the young man
Diana's fallen so madly in love with.

937
00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:19,420
Can't Diana fall in love with anybody,
without going mad about it?

938
00:50:19,709 --> 00:50:22,127
For Diana's sake Charles,
you must get dressed and come down.

939
00:50:22,301 --> 00:50:23,340
Dinner's waiting for you.

940
00:50:23,500 --> 00:50:24,680
No, that's all.

941
00:50:25,100 --> 00:50:26,105
I'm sick.

942
00:50:26,240 --> 00:50:29,060
And I enjoy being sick alone,
not with Diana's friends.

943
00:50:29,460 --> 00:50:30,560
Charles, I'm going to cry.

944
00:50:31,053 --> 00:50:32,533
It's a trick. You don't mean it.

945
00:50:32,994 --> 00:50:35,151
You cry because you know
I can't stand to see you cry.

946
00:50:35,253 --> 00:50:37,583
No Charles, it may seem to be a trick,
but it isn't really.

947
00:50:37,713 --> 00:50:38,733
It never has been.

948
00:50:39,284 --> 00:50:40,403
You don't trust me.

949
00:50:40,620 --> 00:50:43,620
Oh I'm sorry, but please don't cry.

950
00:50:44,660 --> 00:50:47,320
Well, if you're sure I must come down,
help me with my clothes.

951
00:50:49,946 --> 00:50:51,326
What's the new young man like?

952
00:50:52,240 --> 00:50:54,520
Oh, I'm not sure I know yet Charles.

953
00:50:55,680 --> 00:50:56,828
He isn't dressed.

954
00:50:58,160 --> 00:50:59,440
Besides, he hasn't got a tie.

955
00:51:00,460 --> 00:51:02,140
I'm not sure that matters, though.

956
00:51:02,560 --> 00:51:03,560
For him.

957
00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:04,760
No tie.

958
00:51:05,140 --> 00:51:07,160
Well you saw him,
you must have said hello to him.

959
00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:08,800
How's he strike you?

960
00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:11,140
He's different.
He's a man with work to do.

961
00:51:11,820 --> 00:51:14,760
I can't imagine what he finds
to talk about with Diana.

962
00:51:14,940 --> 00:51:16,290
Their interests are so different.

963
00:51:16,680 --> 00:51:19,220
Well, just what is
Diana interested in?

964
00:51:19,740 --> 00:51:22,340
Well, the same things I am Charles.

965
00:51:23,160 --> 00:51:25,714
In graceful living, a good man,

966
00:51:26,109 --> 00:51:27,704
home, children.

967
00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:29,300
Oh, I didn't know that.

968
00:51:29,820 --> 00:51:31,560
I thought Diana was interested in...

969
00:51:31,951 --> 00:51:33,700
...oh well, nothing.

970
00:51:33,826 --> 00:51:35,726
Just chit-chat, gossip...

971
00:51:36,539 --> 00:51:39,779
...all sorts of little excitements
of people like herself.

972
00:51:39,896 --> 00:51:40,903
Oh, Charles.

973
00:51:41,180 --> 00:51:43,720
Diana only seems a fool,
she isn't really.

974
00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:46,922
Must be terribly difficult
for her sometimes.

975
00:51:47,607 --> 00:51:49,947
I'm sure she's awfully
lonely and serious.

976
00:51:50,946 --> 00:51:52,246
I know I often am.

977
00:51:53,300 --> 00:51:54,312
You are?

978
00:51:55,420 --> 00:51:57,460
Well I don't want you to be lonely.

979
00:51:58,140 --> 00:51:59,678
Not after all these years.

980
00:52:00,639 --> 00:52:03,113
From now on, when you're lonely,
why you come and tell me.

981
00:52:04,133 --> 00:52:05,499
I'm interested in you.

982
00:52:06,880 --> 00:52:07,930
Oh Charles.

983
00:52:08,507 --> 00:52:09,847
You make me awfully happy.

984
00:52:10,240 --> 00:52:11,235
Okay.

985
00:52:11,526 --> 00:52:13,546
Do you think he wants to marry Diana?

986
00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:16,760
- Do you like him?
- I don't dislike him.

987
00:52:17,618 --> 00:52:18,838
We only said hello.

988
00:52:19,993 --> 00:52:22,733
But he may very well
not like us, Charles.

989
00:52:23,907 --> 00:52:24,907
(EMPHATICALLY)
Well-ell.

990
00:52:26,501 --> 00:52:28,317
Let's go down and see.

991
00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:33,780
Well, good evening George,
I'm sorry to be late.

992
00:52:34,103 --> 00:52:35,540
- Stephen.
- Glad to see you, sir.

993
00:52:35,625 --> 00:52:37,101
Michael. Girls.

994
00:52:37,153 --> 00:52:39,202
- I hope you're feeling better.
- Oh, I'm all right.

995
00:52:39,604 --> 00:52:40,697
Well, it's good seeing you.

996
00:52:40,856 --> 00:52:42,020
Now, don't let me interrupt.

997
00:52:42,127 --> 00:52:43,397
Only talking of the war.

998
00:52:43,700 --> 00:52:45,260
George is going off soon,
into the Navy,

999
00:52:45,540 --> 00:52:47,080
Stephen into the Air Corps.

1000
00:52:49,780 --> 00:52:50,872
Diana?

1001
00:52:52,694 --> 00:52:53,727
<i>Diana?</i>

1002
00:53:00,608 --> 00:53:02,608
(♫ ♫)

1003
00:53:09,180 --> 00:53:10,315
Why'd you do that for?

1004
00:53:10,339 --> 00:53:12,339
I didn't want to go back in there
just yet.

1005
00:53:12,604 --> 00:53:14,836
But, why?
Everybody likes you.

1006
00:53:14,930 --> 00:53:16,453
Yeah?
How do you know?

1007
00:53:17,070 --> 00:53:18,130
I just know, darling.

1008
00:53:18,250 --> 00:53:20,322
I just know whom they like
and whom they don't like.

1009
00:53:20,490 --> 00:53:22,202
- And Mother--
- Oh, your mother's fine.

1010
00:53:22,410 --> 00:53:23,423
She's first rate.

1011
00:53:23,790 --> 00:53:26,290
But I might not measure up
to your father's idea of things.

1012
00:53:26,470 --> 00:53:27,490
Oh, that's nonsense.

1013
00:53:27,663 --> 00:53:29,450
My father's just your sort
of people.

1014
00:53:30,090 --> 00:53:31,659
Simple, honest, and outspoken.

1015
00:53:32,430 --> 00:53:35,106
My father's grandfather
was an ordinary day laborer.

1016
00:53:36,904 --> 00:53:39,210
- You're making that up, eh?
- Of course not.

1017
00:53:39,730 --> 00:53:41,850
We're no different
from anybody else, really.

1018
00:53:44,356 --> 00:53:45,359
Well.

1019
00:53:46,191 --> 00:53:47,730
I guess I made a fool of myself.

1020
00:53:48,410 --> 00:53:50,367
Walking into your house
as though it were a barn.

1021
00:53:50,690 --> 00:53:51,727
The people, cattle.

1022
00:53:52,170 --> 00:53:54,977
Just because they happen to be born
into a different world from mine.

1023
00:53:55,191 --> 00:53:57,666
Darling, you did no such thing,
you were perfectly charming.

1024
00:53:58,570 --> 00:54:00,970
I don't suppose people ever really
get to know one another.

1025
00:54:01,906 --> 00:54:04,238
I spend a lot of my time
correcting mistakes I make,

1026
00:54:04,263 --> 00:54:05,687
about people I don't know.

1027
00:54:06,670 --> 00:54:07,734
I like your friends.

1028
00:54:08,290 --> 00:54:10,136
They're different,
but just a little different.

1029
00:54:11,730 --> 00:54:13,090
Come on, let's go and see Father.

1030
00:54:13,530 --> 00:54:14,576
Diana.

1031
00:54:16,550 --> 00:54:19,990
I don't suppose you could find me
a tie someplace, could you?

1032
00:54:21,550 --> 00:54:23,024
Of course, darling.

1033
00:54:23,450 --> 00:54:24,910
But you don't have to wear a tie.

1034
00:54:25,390 --> 00:54:27,470
I want to wear a tie. I'm no snob.

1035
00:54:28,350 --> 00:54:30,150
I like people, all kinds of people.

1036
00:54:30,430 --> 00:54:31,480
Every kind there is.

1037
00:54:32,410 --> 00:54:33,650
And especially you.

1038
00:54:34,225 --> 00:54:35,419
My darling!

1039
00:54:36,430 --> 00:54:38,170
But what I can't understand is...

1040
00:54:38,910 --> 00:54:40,759
...why haven't you married
one of those guys?

1041
00:54:41,122 --> 00:54:42,882
I don't love one of them, dear.

1042
00:54:43,170 --> 00:54:44,193
I love you.

1043
00:54:44,491 --> 00:54:47,290
Oh, I love every one of them,
of course they're perfect darlings.

1044
00:54:47,990 --> 00:54:50,910
But I don't love them... because I love you.

1045
00:54:52,523 --> 00:54:53,535
Yeah?

1046
00:54:55,389 --> 00:54:56,704
Well I love you too.

1047
00:54:58,942 --> 00:54:59,942

come to a movie with you.

1228
01:03:34,210 --> 01:03:35,383
We were coming anyway.

1229
01:03:36,370 --> 01:03:37,930
Feels better having girls in here.

1230
01:03:39,130 --> 01:03:41,150
Yeah, it smells a lot better
than just soldiers.

1231

1232
01:03:48,160 --> 01:03:49,782
They're my lucky stars and stripes.

1233
01:03:50,091 --> 01:03:53,240
I guess you really don't get to understand
your country, until it's in trouble.

1234
01:03:53,265 --> 01:03:55,965
All the rest of the time
you just take it for granted.

1235
01:03:57,486 --> 01:03:58,586
It's like your family.

1236
01:03:58,879 --> 01:04:01,239
I get a lump in my throat
every time I see the flag.

1237
01:04:01,800 --> 01:04:04,020
It used to make me think
of Washington and Lincoln.

1238
01:04:05,120 --> 01:04:06,960
Now it makes me think
of my brother Marcus.

1239
01:04:08,160 --> 01:04:09,160
He's a soldier too.

1240
01:04:09,820 --> 01:04:10,820
She loves me.

1241
01:04:11,513 --> 01:04:12,513
She loves me not.

1242
01:04:13,820 --> 01:04:14,820
She loves me.

1243
01:04:15,519 --> 01:04:16,659
She loves me not.

1244
01:04:17,360 --> 01:04:18,360
She loves me.

She loves me.

1248
01:04:28,696 --> 01:04:29,696
She loves me.

1249
01:04:30,321 --> 01:04:32,800
How do you figure,
by one chicken or all the chickens?

1250
01:04:33,260 --> 01:04:34,656
Whichever comes out,
she loves me.

1251
01:04:34,993 --> 01:04:35,993
Mary?

1252
01:04:36,260 --> 01:04:37,260
She loves me.

1253
01:04:37,600 --> 01:04:38,600
She loves me not.

1254
01:04:39,473 --> 01:04:41,053
You're a funny guy Marcus.

1255
01:04:41,270 --> 01:04:42,270
Why funny?

1256
01:04:42,340 --> 01:04:44,284
Oh, I don't mean funny,
I mean lucky.

1257
01:04:45,620 --> 01:04:46,620
She loves me.

1258
01:04:46,754 --> 01:04:47,754
What do you mean, lucky?

1259
01:04:47,779 --> 01:04:49,559
Well, here we are both doing KP.

1260
01:04:50,380 --> 01:04:51,895
Both doing the same thing.

1261
01:04:52,400 --> 01:04:55,554
I'm stripping chickens and
you're making love to Mary.

1262
01:04:55,940 --> 01:04:57,737
That's what I mean
when I say you're lucky.

1263
01:04:58,180 --> 01:05:00,940
We're both in the army,
but you've never left home.

1264
01:05:02,580 --> 01:05:04,240
Don't you ever
think about things, Toby?

1265
01:05:04,400 --> 01:05:06,560
Don't you ever think about what
you're going back to?

1266
01:05:06,670 --> 01:05:07,747
Nahh...

1267
01:05:11,440 --> 01:05:15,180
Marcus, do you mind if I think about,
what you're going back to?

1268
01:05:15,560 --> 01:05:17,343
No, I don't mind Toby.

1269
01:05:17,590 --> 01:05:19,160
There's more than enough
for both of us.

1270
01:05:19,185 --> 01:05:20,585
There's enough for a million of us.

1271
01:05:20,802 --> 01:05:23,220
Ma, Bess, Homer, Ulysses, Mary.

1272
01:05:24,216 --> 01:05:26,960
The old neighborhood, the houses,
the kids, the empty lot.

1273
01:05:27,500 --> 01:05:29,820
The railroad tracks where I used to
watch the trains go by.

1274
01:05:30,608 --> 01:05:34,140
The Sunday School, the Church,
the Public Library, the Courthouse Park.

1275
01:05:34,880 --> 01:05:36,500
Ithaca High, the old teachers.

1276
01:05:37,180 --> 01:05:38,640
The kids used to be in my classroom.

1277
01:05:39,520 --> 01:05:41,680
You know Marcus,
it's a funny thing.

1278
01:05:42,440 --> 01:05:44,840
But I almost feel that
Ithaca is my hometown too.

1279
01:05:45,700 --> 01:05:47,092
If we get through this all right,

1280
01:05:47,557 --> 01:05:49,930
will you take me back there and show me
the places you knew?

1281
01:05:50,020 --> 01:05:52,580
Yeah, I want to do that Toby,
and I want you to meet my folks.

1282
01:05:53,400 --> 01:05:54,560
Oh, we're poor.

Always have been.

1284
01:05:56,420 --> 01:05:58,000
My father was a great man.

1285
01:05:58,140 --> 01:05:59,140
Not a success.

1286
01:05:59,222 --> 01:06:01,182
He didn't make any more money
than what we needed.

1287
01:06:01,207 --> 01:06:02,233
- Ever.
- Matthew?

1288
01:06:02,840 --> 01:06:04,320
Yeah, Matthew McCauley.

1289
01:06:04,920 --> 01:06:07,460
He worked in the vineyards,
in the packing houses and wineries.

1290
01:06:08,099 --> 01:06:10,339
If you saw him in the streets,
you'd think he was nobody.

1291
01:06:10,900 --> 01:06:12,040
But he was a great man.

1292
01:06:12,840 --> 01:06:15,900
The only thing he cared about
was his family, Ma and his kids.

1293
01:06:16,860 --> 01:06:19,147
He saved up and made
a down payment on a harp.

1294
01:06:20,060 --> 01:06:21,816
Yeah, nobody plays a harp anymore,

1295
01:06:21,841 --> 01:06:23,864
but that's what Ma wanted,
so he got her one.

1296
01:06:24,240 --> 01:06:25,934
Took him five years to pay for it.

1297
01:06:26,660 --> 01:06:29,340
We used to think every house had a harp,
just because we had one.

1298
01:06:30,270 --> 01:06:31,983
I thought everybody
was great like him...

1299
01:06:32,705 --> 01:06:34,345
...until I got out
and met some of them.

1300
01:06:34,370 --> 01:06:37,140
Oh, they're all right,
but they're not great.

1301
01:06:37,739 --> 01:06:39,859
I didn't know kids had
mothers and fathers,

1302
01:06:39,884 --> 01:06:42,047
until I went to school
and heard them talking about me.

1303
01:06:42,473 --> 01:06:43,733
I couldn't figure it out.

1304
01:06:44,232 --> 01:06:45,959
I thought every man
was alone in the world,

1305
01:06:45,984 --> 01:06:47,960
to start out by himself,
the same as me.

1306
01:06:48,660 --> 01:06:51,500
I guess I felt pretty bad
for a long time after I found out.

1307
01:06:53,593 --> 01:06:54,793
What sort of a girl is Bess?

1308
01:06:55,487 --> 01:06:57,487
I want you to meet her.
I think Bess will like you.

1309
01:06:57,893 --> 01:06:58,893
Do you, Marcus?

1310
01:06:59,140 --> 01:07:01,201
Here, I'm going to give you
her picture now to keep.

1311
01:07:01,860 --> 01:07:02,927
That's yours.

1312

Keep it in your pocket Rock,
keep Mary's picture.

1313
01:07:05,380 --> 01:07:06,626
See?

1314
01:07:08,140 --> 01:07:09,560
Bess sure is a beautiful girl.

1315
01:07:11,060 --> 01:07:13,078
I don't know if a guy can
fall in love with a girl,

1316
01:07:13,103 --> 01:07:14,547
without meeting her, but.

1317
01:07:15,567 --> 01:07:17,547
I feel as though,
I'm in love with Bess already.

1318
01:07:17,840 --> 01:07:19,520
Maybe she'll feel
the same way about you.

1319
01:07:19,545 --> 01:07:22,498
And if you love each other, well,
what's to stop you from getting married?

1320
01:07:23,420 --> 01:07:25,357
A guy who was given his name
by an orphanage,

1321
01:07:25,382 --> 01:07:27,226
and doesn't even know
what his nationality is?

1322
01:07:27,318 --> 01:07:29,095
Ah, you're an American, Toby.

1323
01:07:29,120 --> 01:07:30,220
Anybody can see that.

1324
01:07:30,320 --> 01:07:32,920
Sure, sure, but I want to know
which American.

1325
01:07:33,120 --> 01:07:35,020
The one whose name is
Toby George, that's all.

1326
01:07:35,045 --> 01:07:36,460
That's good enough for anybody.

1327
01:07:37,660 --> 01:07:38,840
Now you keep that picture.

1328
01:07:39,330 --> 01:07:40,433
We'll get back to Ithaca,

1329
01:07:40,458 --> 01:07:42,593
and raise ourselves some families
like my father did.

1330
01:07:43,360 --> 01:07:46,220
Visit each other once in a while
and have some music and songs.

1331
01:07:47,073 --> 01:07:48,393
