1
00:00:00,042 --> 00:00:01,418
No.

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:09,074
Do you want subtitles for any video?

3
00:00:11,011 --> 00:00:18,018
Two years ago, I was
a nurse for Dr. Bond.

4
00:00:21,063 --> 00:00:25,067
And when I resigned, I told him he
could always call on me in a pinch.

5
00:00:25,192 --> 00:00:25,859
I see.

6
00:00:25,984 --> 00:00:27,236
And when did he pinch you?

7
00:00:27,361 --> 00:00:30,781
Not more than 20 minutes ago.

8
00:00:30,906 --> 00:00:34,451
He asked me to replace his
present nurse in this emergency.

9
00:00:34,576 --> 00:00:35,369
Emergency?

10
00:00:35,494 --> 00:00:39,289
As Dr. Bond put it, she
was suddenly taken married.

11
00:00:39,414 --> 00:00:45,587
I'd like to come down with
something like that myself.

12
00:00:46,588 --> 00:00:49,758
Mrs. Davis, you know I wish
you luck in anything you pursue.

13
00:00:49,883 --> 00:00:51,301
Oh, thank you, Connie.

14
00:00:51,426 --> 00:00:54,763
And you know I wish you luck
in anything you may pursue, too.

15
00:00:54,888 --> 00:00:58,433
By the way, how is Mr. Boynton?

16
00:01:00,143 --> 00:01:01,520
He's fine, thanks.

17
00:01:01,645 --> 00:01:04,648
You know, he invited me
to the faculty dance tonight.

18
00:01:04,773 --> 00:01:06,858
It ought to be great
fun, Mrs. Davis.

19
00:01:06,984 --> 00:01:09,111
We were elected king
and queen of the affair,

20
00:01:09,236 --> 00:01:11,363
you know, so we'll be
together every minute.

21
00:01:11,488 --> 00:01:14,491
Oh, that's nice, Connie.

22
00:01:14,616 --> 00:01:16,410
What are you going
to wear, Connie?

23
00:01:16,535 --> 00:01:20,956
I found a lovely formal, Mrs.
Davis, that I can buy on time.

24
00:01:21,081 --> 00:01:24,084
So I put $15 down
on it yesterday.

25
00:01:24,209 --> 00:01:25,419
Oh.

26
00:01:25,544 --> 00:01:28,171
What you do with your money
is your own business, I suppose.

27
00:01:28,297 --> 00:01:31,508
Go ahead, be a big shot.

28
00:01:31,633 --> 00:01:33,552
Big shot?

29
00:01:33,677 --> 00:01:35,137
Mrs. Davis, what's the matter?

30
00:01:35,262 --> 00:01:41,935
How can you spend $15 on clothes when
poor Mr. Whipple hasn't eaten in 10 days?

31
00:01:42,060 --> 00:01:42,769
Mr. Whipple?

32
00:01:42,894 --> 00:01:44,980
Who's Mr. Whipple?

33
00:01:45,105 --> 00:01:49,443
I really don't know, Connie.

34
00:01:49,568 --> 00:01:52,571
Well, then how do you know
he hasn't eaten in 10 days?

35
00:01:52,696 --> 00:01:54,865
Dr. Bond told me when he called.

36
00:01:54,990 --> 00:01:57,826
He asked me to go to
Mr. Whipple's home at

37
00:01:57,951 --> 00:02:01,079
65 Morton Avenue and
give him a vitamin shot.

38
00:02:01,204 --> 00:02:04,082
It's evidently
acute malnutrition.

39
00:02:04,207 --> 00:02:07,502
Yes, it must be if he's too
weak to go to the doctor's office.

40
00:02:07,627 --> 00:02:09,254
Poor Mr. Whipple.

41
00:02:09,379 --> 00:02:12,591
No clothes, holes
in his undershirt.

42
00:02:12,716 --> 00:02:15,677
Oh, come now, Mrs. Davis.

43
00:02:15,802 --> 00:02:17,179
Where did you get
that information?

44
00:02:17,304 --> 00:02:20,682
Listen, you show me a man
who hasn't eaten in 10 days,

45
00:02:20,807 --> 00:02:24,227
and I'll show you a man
with holes in his undershirt.

46
00:02:24,353 --> 00:02:26,271
You know a boy in high
school named Whipple?

47
00:02:26,396 --> 00:02:28,273
He was president
of the student body.

48
00:02:28,398 --> 00:02:29,900
Voted the most
likely to succeed.

49
00:02:30,025 --> 00:02:32,277
Oh, it's probably
not the same one.

50
00:02:32,402 --> 00:02:34,112
Oh, probably not.

51
00:02:34,237 --> 00:02:36,948
Well, I have a rough
day ahead of me, so I

52
00:02:37,074 --> 00:02:40,077
think I'll go and fix
myself some hot cereal.

53
00:02:40,202 --> 00:02:41,203
Oh, there's Walter Denton.

54
00:02:41,328 --> 00:02:42,496
Come on in, Walter.

55
00:02:42,621 --> 00:02:44,748
You go ahead and cook
your breakfast, Mrs. Davis.

56
00:02:44,873 --> 00:02:46,500
Well, all right.

57
00:02:46,625 --> 00:02:52,339
But remember now, Connie,
don't forget to forget Mr. Whipple.

58
00:02:52,464 --> 00:02:53,715
I won't.

59
00:02:55,175 --> 00:02:56,927
Oh, good morning, Miss Brooks.

60
00:02:57,052 --> 00:02:58,345
Oh, good morning, Walter.

61
00:02:58,470 --> 00:02:59,096
Sit down.

62
00:02:59,221 --> 00:03:01,098
Oh, thank you, Your Majesty.

63
00:03:01,223 --> 00:03:03,058
I won't be able to eat much
this morning, I'm afraid.

64
00:03:03,183 --> 00:03:05,268
You see, I just
had my breakfast.

65
00:03:05,394 --> 00:03:05,894
Oh?

66
00:03:06,019 --> 00:03:08,730
Besides, I want to get to school
pretty fast to meet Harriet Conklin.

67
00:03:08,855 --> 00:03:08,980
Why?

68
00:03:09,106 --> 00:03:09,898
What's the rush?

69
00:03:10,023 --> 00:03:14,319
Well, it's too early, so I figured I'd
have some cake and milk with her.

70
00:03:14,444 --> 00:03:16,238
Well, that does it.

71
00:03:16,363 --> 00:03:19,491
I think we can dispense with
any further conversation, Walter.

72
00:03:19,616 --> 00:03:20,283
Huh?

73
00:03:20,409 --> 00:03:21,451
What's the matter?

74
00:03:21,576 --> 00:03:24,871
How can you stuff yourself
with three breakfasts

75
00:03:24,996 --> 00:03:28,458
when poor Mr. Whipple
hasn't eaten in ten minutes?

76
00:03:28,583 --> 00:03:28,959
Mr. Whipple?

77
00:03:29,084 --> 00:03:30,419
Who's Mr. Whipple?

78
00:03:30,544 --> 00:03:34,005
He's got holes in his
undershirt, that's all.

79
00:03:34,131 --> 00:03:36,508
He's got holes in his who's?

80
00:03:36,633 --> 00:03:37,884
And that isn't the half of it.

81
00:03:38,009 --> 00:03:41,513
Why, he's wasted
away to 140 pounds.

82
00:03:41,638 --> 00:03:44,599
And he's about to be evicted from
that hovel he lives in any minute.

83
00:03:44,724 --> 00:03:46,601
Oh, gosh, take it
easy, Miss Brooks.

84
00:03:46,726 --> 00:03:48,228
How can I take it easy?

85
00:03:48,353 --> 00:03:49,771
That's the trouble
with people today.

86
00:03:49,896 --> 00:03:51,022
They just don't care.

87
00:03:51,148 --> 00:03:52,858
I care, honest.

88
00:03:54,401 --> 00:03:55,318
No, you don't.

89
00:03:55,444 --> 00:03:58,405
You're just callous to
other people's adversity.

90
00:03:58,530 --> 00:04:00,699
Well, if that's the way you
are, that's your privilege.

91
00:04:00,824 --> 00:04:04,077
We'll just have to forget it.

92
00:04:04,202 --> 00:04:10,167
How many holes does
he have in his undershirt?

93
00:04:10,292 --> 00:04:13,336
I mean, why are you so concerned
about this fellow, Miss Brooks?

94
00:04:13,462 --> 00:04:15,547
I used to go to high
school with him, that's why.

95
00:04:15,672 --> 00:04:22,179
Brilliant boy, president of the student
body, and now he hasn't a crust of bread.

96
00:04:22,304 --> 00:04:25,056
It seems my dad had a friend
named Whipple when I was a kid.

97
00:04:25,182 --> 00:04:27,142
We lived in
Schenectady at the time.

98
00:04:27,267 --> 00:04:29,102
Or was it Ho-Hocus, New Jersey?

99
00:04:29,227 --> 00:04:33,648
No, I think it was the president of
the bank in Schenectady or something.

100
00:04:33,773 --> 00:04:35,775
Well, probably isn't
the same fellow, though.

101
00:04:35,901 --> 00:04:38,403
No, probably not.

102
00:04:38,528 --> 00:04:40,906
Gosh, it's funny, I just don't
seem to be hungry anymore.

103
00:04:41,031 --> 00:04:44,659
Oh, Walter, I didn't mean
to dampen your spirits.

104
00:04:44,784 --> 00:04:46,578
Let's just change
the subject, shall we?

105
00:04:46,703 --> 00:04:47,871
Oh, gladly.

106
00:04:47,996 --> 00:04:48,580
Well, let's see.

107
00:04:48,705 --> 00:04:50,916
Mr. Boyden's a pretty
good subject, isn't he?

108
00:04:51,041 --> 00:04:52,834
I saw him walking to
school on my way over here.

109
00:04:52,959 --> 00:04:53,418
You did?

110
00:04:53,543 --> 00:04:56,046
Yeah, in fact I had quite
a little conversation with

111
00:04:56,171 --> 00:04:58,548
your royal consort about
the forthcoming shindig.

112
00:04:58,673 --> 00:05:00,133
Oh, what'd he say?

113
00:05:00,258 --> 00:05:03,261
Well, I don't want to spoil the
surprise, Miss Brooks, but you know

114
00:05:03,386 --> 00:05:06,264
the place where he usually takes
you to dinner on Friday nights?

115
00:05:06,389 --> 00:05:09,434
The hot dog stand by the zoo?

116
00:05:09,559 --> 00:05:10,685
Yeah, well that's out.

117
00:05:10,810 --> 00:05:12,687
Tonight he's going to
take you to a real swanky

118
00:05:12,812 --> 00:05:14,814
restaurant and he's going
to order the $3 dinner.

119
00:05:14,940 --> 00:05:16,274
$3?

120
00:05:16,399 --> 00:05:18,318
A piece?

121
00:05:18,443 --> 00:05:21,530
Well, what do you know?

122
00:05:21,655 --> 00:05:26,910
Well, if that isn't the
most callous gesture of all.

123
00:05:27,035 --> 00:05:28,078
Big shot.

124
00:05:28,203 --> 00:05:33,667
Other people haven't eaten in 10
days and he's going to blow $6 on dinner.

125
00:05:33,792 --> 00:05:36,461
Well, if that's the way
it is, let's just forget it.

126
00:05:36,586 --> 00:05:37,921
We've got to hurry, Walter.

127
00:05:38,046 --> 00:05:40,924
I've got to drop in at
Mr. Conklin's office this morning

128
00:05:41,049 --> 00:05:44,261
and tell him about the faculty
band he asked me to organize.

129
00:05:44,386 --> 00:05:47,347
Yes, and on the way over,
I want to stop at Sherry's

130
00:05:47,472 --> 00:05:50,559
department store and get
back my money on that dress.

131
00:05:50,684 --> 00:05:55,021
That $15 is going
to poor Mr. Whipple.

132
00:06:00,527 --> 00:06:01,361
Hello.

133
00:06:01,486 --> 00:06:04,447
Hello, is this Mrs. Davis?

134
00:06:04,573 --> 00:06:07,033
Mrs. Davis, Dr. Bond
gave me your number.

135
00:06:07,158 --> 00:06:09,953
This is Mr. Whipple's
confidential secretary.

136
00:06:10,078 --> 00:06:14,916
Mr. Whipple's
confidential... quadratary?

137
00:06:15,041 --> 00:06:18,420
Mr. Whipple has a most important
business conference scheduled for this

138
00:06:18,545 --> 00:06:22,299
morning, so we must postpone his
vitamin shot until 3.30 this afternoon.

139
00:06:22,424 --> 00:06:23,633
Conference?

140
00:06:23,758 --> 00:06:26,261
But I thought
Mr. Whipple was destitute.

141
00:06:26,386 --> 00:06:27,679
Destitute?

142
00:06:27,804 --> 00:06:31,433
My dear lady, Mr. Whipple happens to be a
millionaire many times over, is one of the nation's

143
00:06:31,558 --> 00:06:35,020
leading economists, and generally regarded
by Wall Streeters as the wizard of finance.

144
00:06:39,274 --> 00:06:41,359
Wizard of finance.

145
00:06:41,484 --> 00:06:44,988
But if he hasn't eaten in
10 days... This is the 10th

146
00:06:45,113 --> 00:06:48,908
day of his liquid diet as
prescribed by Dr. Bond.

147
00:06:49,034 --> 00:06:52,537
And if the resultant weight reduction
proves unsatisfactory, Mr. Whipple

148
00:06:52,662 --> 00:06:56,041
will either go to the Mayo Clinic
or bring the Mayo Clinic to him.

149
00:06:58,877 --> 00:06:59,836
Goodbye, Mrs. Davies.

150
00:06:59,961 --> 00:07:01,796
Goodbye.

151
00:07:01,921 --> 00:07:03,882
Just a diet.

152
00:07:04,007 --> 00:07:05,800
How do you like that?

153
00:07:05,925 --> 00:07:08,553
The old coot is loaded.

154
00:07:14,017 --> 00:07:15,268
Good morning, Mr. Conson.

155
00:07:15,393 --> 00:07:16,227
Good morning, Miss Brooks.

156
00:07:16,353 --> 00:07:17,312
Sit down.

157
00:07:17,437 --> 00:07:20,398
Did you organize the faculty
band I asked you to, Miss Brooks?

158
00:07:20,523 --> 00:07:23,318
But the best I could do
was a five-piece outfit.

159
00:07:23,443 --> 00:07:25,528
I've just been listening
to them practicing.

160
00:07:25,654 --> 00:07:27,614
Oh, what are the five pieces?

161
00:07:27,739 --> 00:07:31,034
Four saxophones and a drum.

162
00:07:31,159 --> 00:07:33,286
Four saxophones and a drum?

163
00:07:33,411 --> 00:07:34,663
What do they sound like?

164
00:07:34,788 --> 00:07:38,249
Four drums and a saxophone.

165
00:07:38,375 --> 00:07:43,672
Miss Brooks, we are putting on a
school dance, not presenting the colors.

166
00:07:43,797 --> 00:07:46,716
Now you will have to press some
other instruments into service.

167
00:07:46,841 --> 00:07:50,553
You see, this may be the last
dance held in our present gymnasium.

168
00:07:50,679 --> 00:07:51,805
Our present gymnasium?

169
00:07:51,930 --> 00:07:52,514
Yes.

170
00:07:52,639 --> 00:07:54,766
I have long deplored
the fact that ours is one

171
00:07:54,891 --> 00:07:57,102
of the smallest high
school gyms in the county.

172
00:07:57,227 --> 00:07:58,645
I know you have, Mr. Conklin.

173
00:07:58,770 --> 00:08:00,939
But Mr. Stone, the head
of the board, has always

174
00:08:01,064 --> 00:08:03,108
refused you the money
to erect a larger one.

175
00:08:03,233 --> 00:08:06,361
Well, I believe I've succeeded in
breaking down Mr. Stone's resistance.

176
00:08:06,486 --> 00:08:08,530
In fact, he's promised
me a definite answer in this

177
00:08:08,655 --> 00:08:10,824
matter following a meeting
of the board this morning.

178
00:08:10,949 --> 00:08:12,033
Oh, really, Mr. Conklin?

179
00:08:12,158 --> 00:08:12,492
Yes.

180
00:08:12,617 --> 00:08:16,162
This meeting is to be attended
by a government consultant,

181
00:08:16,287 --> 00:08:19,249
an extremely influential
personage, Miss Brooks.

182
00:08:19,374 --> 00:08:22,043
I understand he was
a dollar a year man.

183
00:08:22,168 --> 00:08:23,128
Oh, a school teacher.

184
00:08:23,253 --> 00:08:27,590
Don't be facetious.

185
00:08:28,758 --> 00:08:32,637
It is his yes or no that determines
whether or not we get the new gymnasium.

186
00:08:32,762 --> 00:08:35,390
Oh, well, I'll keep my fingers
crossed for you, Miss Conklin.

187
00:08:35,515 --> 00:08:36,933
What's the man's name?

188
00:08:37,058 --> 00:08:38,435
Mr. Stone didn't tell me.

189
00:08:38,560 --> 00:08:44,941
He merely informed me that Wall Streeters
refer to him as the Wizard of Finance.

190
00:08:45,066 --> 00:08:47,569
You may be meeting him sooner
than you expect, Miss Brooks.

191
00:08:47,694 --> 00:08:48,361
Me, sir?

192
00:08:48,486 --> 00:08:51,823
Yes, he's been invited to our faculty
dance and will be seated at the table of

193
00:08:51,948 --> 00:08:55,493
honor with me, along with you and
Mr. Boynton as king and queen of the faculty.

194
00:08:56,619 --> 00:09:00,665
You have your formal
attire in readiness, no doubt?

195
00:09:00,790 --> 00:09:02,584
Oh, correction, Mr. Conklin.

196
00:09:02,709 --> 00:09:04,919
Since I originally
intended to buy a new

197
00:09:05,044 --> 00:09:07,589
formal, I sent my other
one to the cleaners.

198
00:09:07,714 --> 00:09:10,884
But today I decided to
wear just what I have on.

199
00:09:11,009 --> 00:09:13,052
However, that won't
prevent my raining.

200
00:09:13,178 --> 00:09:15,221
A correction, Miss Brooks.

201
00:09:15,346 --> 00:09:17,640
Formal attire is mandatory.

202
00:09:17,766 --> 00:09:21,519
Out of deference to our distinguished
guests, I cannot permit any exceptions.

203
00:09:21,644 --> 00:09:25,732
Therefore, I shall have to appoint
someone to replace you as faculty queen.

204
00:09:25,857 --> 00:09:26,608
Replace me?

205
00:09:26,733 --> 00:09:29,486
But Mr. Conklin, I was
voted in by the student

206
00:09:29,611 --> 00:09:31,988
body in a free and
democratic election.

207
00:09:32,113 --> 00:09:32,947
I know.

208
00:09:33,072 --> 00:09:36,951
And you're hereby voted out.

209
00:09:37,076 --> 00:09:40,288
Now, let me see.

210
00:09:40,413 --> 00:09:42,624
Miss Enright would
make a good queen.

211
00:09:42,749 --> 00:09:43,500
Miss Enright?

212
00:09:43,625 --> 00:09:44,334
But you can't do that.

213
00:09:44,459 --> 00:09:46,961
I wonder if she's available.

214
00:09:47,086 --> 00:09:48,171
Miss Enright?

215
00:09:48,296 --> 00:09:50,715
She's always available.

216
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:55,345
Just put down a saucer
of milk and there she is.

217
00:09:55,470 --> 00:09:57,180
Pardon me, sir.

218
00:10:00,225 --> 00:10:02,268
I'm sorry I bought this
ice cream, Mr. Boynton.

219
00:10:02,393 --> 00:10:04,229
I just don't feel up to it.

220
00:10:04,354 --> 00:10:07,106
Well, I'll be happy to take it
off your hands, Miss Brooks.

221
00:10:07,232 --> 00:10:08,942
How much did you pay for it?

222
00:10:09,067 --> 00:10:12,654
Oh, I wasn't thinking
about the 10 cents.

223
00:10:12,779 --> 00:10:13,780
I'll give you a nickel.

224
00:10:13,905 --> 00:10:17,200
It's a disappointment, frankly.

225
00:10:17,325 --> 00:10:21,120
Well, some of it has melted.

226
00:10:21,246 --> 00:10:24,999
Besides, you already took a spoonful of
it, so if you didn't... Sold for a nickel.

227
00:10:25,124 --> 00:10:27,544
Thanks.

228
00:10:29,879 --> 00:10:34,968
Would you be in the
market for a lamb chop bone?

229
00:10:35,093 --> 00:10:36,970
How much?

230
00:10:37,095 --> 00:10:38,888
There's a dog in
my neighborhood.

231
00:10:39,013 --> 00:10:41,432
Oh, Mr. Boynton,
I was only fooling.

232
00:10:41,558 --> 00:10:43,935
Tonight is another night,
sir, and I have a new

233
00:10:44,060 --> 00:10:46,896
formal, and we're to be
king and queen of the faculty.

234
00:10:47,021 --> 00:10:48,356
Oh, correction, Miss Brooks.

235
00:10:48,481 --> 00:10:52,819
I decided to wear just what I have on, so
I asked Mr. Conklin to appoint a new king.

236
00:10:52,944 --> 00:10:54,362
You've abdicated?

237
00:10:54,487 --> 00:10:56,239
But you can't do
that, Your Majesty.

238
00:10:56,364 --> 00:10:59,576
Mr. Boynton, why, only
yesterday you told me

239
00:10:59,701 --> 00:11:04,038
you were going all out
and hire a tuxedo for $6.

240
00:11:04,163 --> 00:11:09,252
How can I spend $6 when poor
Mr. Whipple hasn't eaten in 10 days?

241
00:11:09,377 --> 00:11:10,879
Who told you about Mr. Whipple?

242
00:11:11,004 --> 00:11:12,755
Mr. Conklin?

243
00:11:12,881 --> 00:11:14,757
It's a very sad case.

244
00:11:14,883 --> 00:11:17,051
Mr. Conklin said he
went to college with him.

245
00:11:17,176 --> 00:11:21,264
That was only a few short years before
Mr. Whipple became head of a railroad.

246
00:11:21,389 --> 00:11:27,395
Now he's lost his money,
wasted away to 97 pounds.

247
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:28,646
97 pounds?

248
00:11:28,771 --> 00:11:32,692
Why, he weighed more
than that in high school.

249
00:11:32,817 --> 00:11:35,904
No one pays any attention
to the poor old soul now.

250
00:11:36,029 --> 00:11:38,656
I suppose everyone figures
someone else will take care of him.

251
00:11:38,781 --> 00:11:40,241
You're right, Mr. Boynton.

252
00:11:40,366 --> 00:11:43,828
It seems that everybody passes
the buck when the chips are down.

253
00:11:43,953 --> 00:11:45,622
Well, I'd better be going.

254
00:11:45,747 --> 00:11:46,789
Oh, what's the big rush?

255
00:11:46,915 --> 00:11:49,876
I've got to get over to the store
and back before lunch period is over.

256
00:11:50,001 --> 00:11:51,794
Oh, I hope I have bus fare.

257
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:53,755
Hmm.

258
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:54,797
Mr. Boynton?

259
00:11:54,923 --> 00:11:55,715
Yes, Miss Brooks?

260
00:11:55,840 --> 00:12:02,847
What am I offered for
this lamb chop bowl?

261
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:08,227
There.

262
00:12:08,353 --> 00:12:11,731
That vitamin shot didn't hurt
much now, did it, Mr. Whipple?

263
00:12:11,856 --> 00:12:14,692
I'm an honest man, Mrs. Davis.

264
00:12:14,817 --> 00:12:22,033
Felt as if my arm had been
pierced by a swordfish with the DTs.

265
00:12:22,158 --> 00:12:25,495
I'll admit that my hand
wasn't as steady as usual, but

266
00:12:25,620 --> 00:12:29,499
somehow wealthy people
always make me a little nervous.

267
00:12:29,624 --> 00:12:31,584
Well, you're only
human, Mrs. Davis.

268
00:12:31,709 --> 00:12:33,461
That is, emotionally.

269
00:12:33,586 --> 00:12:37,048
In this world, money is king.

270
00:12:37,173 --> 00:12:38,925
And kings are feared.

271
00:12:39,050 --> 00:12:45,056
That may be, Mr. Whipple, but all
your money hasn't made you happy.

272
00:12:45,181 --> 00:12:47,934
I bet you've even
forgotten how to smile.

273
00:12:48,059 --> 00:12:49,352
Let the poor smile.

274
00:12:49,477 --> 00:12:53,022
I can afford to look miserable.

275
00:12:55,441 --> 00:12:57,318
And I've good reason to.

276
00:12:57,443 --> 00:13:00,405
I've been haggling all day with
the members of the Board of

277
00:13:00,530 --> 00:13:03,616
Education over the new gymnasium
for the Madison High School.

278
00:13:03,741 --> 00:13:05,201
That's a coincidence.

279
00:13:05,326 --> 00:13:08,371
There's a teacher from Madison
High who lives with me, and

280
00:13:08,496 --> 00:13:11,916
she's told me many times how
much her principal wants a new gym.

281
00:13:12,041 --> 00:13:13,584
Well, they've managed
with the old one.

282
00:13:13,710 --> 00:13:15,712
They may continue to do so.

283
00:13:15,837 --> 00:13:20,967
Upon my recommendation, the board
has decided to ignore the entire proposal.

284
00:13:21,092 --> 00:13:23,553
Well... I beg your pardon,
Mr. Whipple, but I found

285
00:13:23,678 --> 00:13:26,139
the front door open,
and I... I want it left open.

286
00:13:26,264 --> 00:13:27,974
It's stifling in here, Bennett.

287
00:13:28,099 --> 00:13:31,352
Yes, sir, but if there should be
visitors, we... Well, release the dogs.

288
00:13:31,477 --> 00:13:34,564
They'll scare them away.

289
00:13:34,689 --> 00:13:35,732
Dogs?

290
00:13:35,857 --> 00:13:39,694
Must you go to that extreme
to discourage visitors?

291
00:13:39,819 --> 00:13:44,115
The breed of barnacles who visit
me are most unwelcome, Mrs. Davis.

292
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:47,535
I'm such a target for
lame-brained fortune hunters

293
00:13:47,660 --> 00:13:50,997
that I even conceal my
identity whenever possible.

294
00:13:51,122 --> 00:13:54,375
Now, geographically
speaking, one might term me a

295
00:13:54,500 --> 00:13:58,129
large body of man completely
surrounded by schnooks.

296
00:14:00,965 --> 00:14:04,886
Well, you'll certainly get rid of
one of them as soon as you pay me.

297
00:14:05,011 --> 00:14:07,138
That'll be $2, please.

298
00:14:07,263 --> 00:14:08,347
I'll give you $1.

299
00:14:08,473 --> 00:14:14,228
I have millions, Mrs. Davis,
because I know the value of things.

300
00:14:14,353 --> 00:14:19,984
Now, that ampule you used in the injection
could have been worth no more than $0.50.

301
00:14:20,109 --> 00:14:23,529
Your transportation, I
compute at $0.20, and you may

302
00:14:23,654 --> 00:14:27,116
figure the additional $0.30
as a very generous tip.

303
00:14:30,578 --> 00:14:37,585
I'll have my secretary
draw you a check.

304
00:14:51,224 --> 00:14:51,933
Follow me.

305
00:14:52,058 --> 00:14:55,353
Oh!

306
00:14:55,478 --> 00:14:56,104
Oh, excuse me, sir.

307
00:14:56,229 --> 00:14:58,397
I'm looking for Mr. Whipple.

308
00:14:58,523 --> 00:14:59,857
Well, he isn't in.

309
00:14:59,982 --> 00:15:01,609
My name is Bennett.

310
00:15:01,734 --> 00:15:05,696
Any favors you may wish for Mr. Whipple
cannot be discussed at this time.

311
00:15:05,822 --> 00:15:06,572
Favors?

312
00:15:06,697 --> 00:15:08,574
Oh, but you don't
understand, sir.

313
00:15:08,699 --> 00:15:11,536
I'm Miss Brooks, an English
teacher at Madison High School.

314
00:15:11,661 --> 00:15:16,874
I heard that poor Mr. Whipple was
starving, so I bought him all this food.

315
00:15:16,999 --> 00:15:21,295
Canned goods, bread,
and a roll of liverwurst.

316
00:15:21,420 --> 00:15:22,713
Oh, very wonderful.

317
00:15:22,839 --> 00:15:24,132
Where's the liverwurst?

318
00:15:24,257 --> 00:15:28,553
You won't have to feed
the dogs tonight, sir.

319
00:15:28,678 --> 00:15:29,345
The dogs?

320
00:15:29,470 --> 00:15:32,348
It was either the
liverwurst or me.

321
00:15:32,473 --> 00:15:35,935
You know, there's one thing I don't
understand about this setup, Mr. Bennett.

322
00:15:36,060 --> 00:15:40,606
If Mr. Whipple lives in a house like
this... Mr. Whipple is my gardener.

323
00:15:40,731 --> 00:15:43,943
That's all the
information I can give you.

324
00:15:44,068 --> 00:15:45,987
The rest is none
of your business.

325
00:15:46,112 --> 00:15:47,405
But it is my business.

326
00:15:47,530 --> 00:15:49,240
How much do you
pay, Mr. Whipple?

327
00:15:49,365 --> 00:15:50,324
Four dollars a month.

328
00:15:50,449 --> 00:15:51,576
What's it to you?

329
00:15:51,701 --> 00:15:53,077
Four dollars a month?

330
00:15:53,202 --> 00:15:55,079
No wonder he's starving.

331
00:15:55,204 --> 00:15:58,124
What kind of medieval
slave driver are you?

332
00:15:58,249 --> 00:16:00,835
I'll have to ask you to leave
these premises at once.

333
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:02,170
I'll do no such thing.

334
00:16:02,295 --> 00:16:05,882
I'm going to stay right here until I know
that Mr. Whipple gets these groceries.

335
00:16:06,007 --> 00:16:09,594
Any more of your insolence, I
may have to discharge Mr. Whipple.

336
00:16:09,719 --> 00:16:11,888
I hope you do, bud.

337
00:16:14,390 --> 00:16:16,475
Because I can get
him a better job.

338
00:16:16,601 --> 00:16:20,104
And if I can't, my
principal, Mr. Conklin, will.

339
00:16:20,229 --> 00:16:21,647
Now look here.

340
00:16:21,772 --> 00:16:22,857
Look here, Miss Brooks.

341
00:16:22,982 --> 00:16:26,319
What is the reason for this
sudden interest in Mr. Whipple?

342
00:16:26,444 --> 00:16:27,695
What's so sudden about it?

343
00:16:27,820 --> 00:16:29,572
I went to high school with him.

344
00:16:29,697 --> 00:16:33,159
And Mr. Conklin, he were
fraternity brothers in college.

345
00:16:33,284 --> 00:16:34,160
Well, were they really?

346
00:16:34,285 --> 00:16:36,245
Well, I had no idea then.

347
00:16:36,370 --> 00:16:39,707
Yes, of course, and that was just a
couple of years before Mr. Whipple built a

348
00:16:39,832 --> 00:16:43,377
railroad, made it race against time,
and wound up with holes in his undershirt.

349
00:16:47,006 --> 00:16:50,134
Well, that's very, very
interesting, Mr. Oaks,

350
00:16:50,259 --> 00:16:53,554
but it sounds like we're
having another visitor.

351
00:16:53,679 --> 00:17:00,686
He better have a liver,
or he'll never make it.

352
00:17:02,146 --> 00:17:03,439
Holy cow!

353
00:17:03,564 --> 00:17:03,689
Mr. Conklin.

354
00:17:03,814 --> 00:17:06,484
Oh, so this is Mr. Conklin.

355
00:17:06,609 --> 00:17:10,154
Yes, Mr. Bennett, I'd
like you... Just a minute.

356
00:17:10,279 --> 00:17:14,951
We seem to be hearing
from a new precinct.

357
00:17:15,076 --> 00:17:16,369
Walter!

358
00:17:16,494 --> 00:17:18,162
Oh, hiya, Miss Brooks.

359
00:17:18,287 --> 00:17:21,916
Am I in the right kennel?

360
00:17:22,041 --> 00:17:23,084
Yes, this is it.

361
00:17:23,209 --> 00:17:23,751
Pull up a St.

362
00:17:23,876 --> 00:17:25,086
Bernard and sit down.

363
00:17:25,211 --> 00:17:28,130
Why, those mutts are man-eaters!

364
00:17:28,256 --> 00:17:31,384
Now, now, they'll probably be
back in their kennels by now.

365
00:17:31,509 --> 00:17:32,093
Oh, yeah?

366
00:17:32,218 --> 00:17:33,344
What's that?

367
00:17:33,469 --> 00:17:37,807
It ain't Eliza crossing the ice.

368
00:17:37,932 --> 00:17:38,933
Oh!

369
00:17:40,184 --> 00:17:41,185
Oh!

370
00:17:43,938 --> 00:17:51,654
What's going on here?

371
00:17:51,779 --> 00:17:54,323
This is the new branch
of Madison High School.

372
00:17:54,448 --> 00:17:58,077
Mr. Boyden, Mrs. Denton, and Mr. Conklin,
I'd like you to meet Mr. Bennett,

373
00:17:58,202 --> 00:18:01,414
who employs a gardener named
Whipple, to whom he pays $4 a month.

374
00:18:05,042 --> 00:18:07,420
$4 a month!

375
00:18:07,545 --> 00:18:11,215
You scoundrel!

376
00:18:11,340 --> 00:18:15,094
You infamous,
pot-bellied baboon!

377
00:18:15,219 --> 00:18:18,347
Let's throw him to his own dogs!

378
00:18:18,472 --> 00:18:19,140
No, let's not.

379
00:18:19,265 --> 00:18:20,725
They'd only throw
him back again.

380
00:18:20,850 --> 00:18:26,731
Mr. Bennett, you are through persecuting
Mr. Whipple with cruelty and starvation.

381
00:18:26,856 --> 00:18:30,609
We've already made sacrifices for him,
and we're not going to let him down now.

382
00:18:30,735 --> 00:18:32,153
I should say not.

383
00:18:32,278 --> 00:18:34,196
Why, Walter here gave
up the jacket he bought

384
00:18:34,322 --> 00:18:36,032
for the dance to keep
Mr. Whipple warm.

385
00:18:36,157 --> 00:18:37,074
Well, that's nothing.

386
00:18:37,199 --> 00:18:40,578
Miss Brooks and Mr. Boynton sacrificed
their formal clothes, and Mr. Coughlin

387
00:18:40,703 --> 00:18:43,664
had to appoint another couple
king and queen of the faculty dance.

388
00:18:43,789 --> 00:18:46,250
It was all Miss Brooks'
idea in the first place.

389
00:18:46,375 --> 00:18:53,382
Why, she's the sweetest, most
tender-hearted woman... Oh, shut up!

390
00:18:55,926 --> 00:19:00,848
I gave up a top hat and tails to purchase
medical supplies for the poor beggar.

391
00:19:00,973 --> 00:19:04,310
Yes, and when Mr. Conklin
gives up anything for

392
00:19:04,435 --> 00:19:07,980
anybody, it is really...
He is a peach of a guy.

393
00:19:10,316 --> 00:19:13,736
You mean to tell me you made all
these sacrifices to assist one helpless

394
00:19:13,861 --> 00:19:17,323
individual you thought you knew
without any personal angle or whatever?

395
00:19:20,159 --> 00:19:20,743
Angle?

396
00:19:20,868 --> 00:19:22,828
We don't know what
you mean by angle.

397
00:19:22,953 --> 00:19:25,664
No, no, I guess
you don't, do you?

398
00:19:25,790 --> 00:19:29,377
Your secretary finally
made out that $1 check.

399
00:19:29,502 --> 00:19:31,962
Connie, well, what a surprise.

400
00:19:32,088 --> 00:19:35,174
There's one seat
left in the balcony.

401
00:19:35,299 --> 00:19:38,677
These folks are very dear
friends of mine, Mr. Whipple.

402
00:19:38,803 --> 00:19:41,597
Mr. Whipple?

403
00:19:41,722 --> 00:19:44,892
I'm your guest of honor
tonight, Mr. Compton.

404
00:19:45,017 --> 00:19:51,816
Mr. Chairman, my delegation
would like five minutes to caucus.

405
00:19:51,941 --> 00:19:54,276
I made a terrible
mistake, Connie.

406
00:19:54,402 --> 00:19:57,154
Mr. Whipple isn't
poverty-stricken at all.

407
00:19:57,279 --> 00:20:00,616
Well, I guess that, but why
did you call yourself Bennett?

408
00:20:00,741 --> 00:20:04,912
Because it's obvious the poor
dear man didn't want to be pestered.

409
00:20:05,037 --> 00:20:10,876
Mr. Whipple's a... Shut
up, you pot-bellied baboon!

410
00:20:11,919 --> 00:20:13,212
I'll get this work out
of here right away.

411
00:20:13,337 --> 00:20:14,672
But Mr. Whipple...
Not another word.

412
00:20:14,797 --> 00:20:15,548
Get it out of here.

413
00:20:15,673 --> 00:20:16,549
Now you stay here.

414
00:20:16,674 --> 00:20:17,883
You stay here, too.

415
00:20:18,008 --> 00:20:19,802
And here, you take this.

416
00:20:19,927 --> 00:20:21,512
Now wait on the porch.

417
00:20:21,637 --> 00:20:21,887
Ms.

418
00:20:22,012 --> 00:20:24,348
Brooks and Mr. Conklin
will join you in a moment.

419
00:20:24,473 --> 00:20:26,100
If not sooner.

420
00:20:26,225 --> 00:20:32,356
Now, this silly clambake you're having, the
dance, what sort of music are you having?

421
00:20:32,481 --> 00:20:33,399
Music?

422
00:20:33,524 --> 00:20:35,234
It's a faculty outfit, sir.

423
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,611
Four saxophones and a drum.

424
00:20:37,736 --> 00:20:42,616
We call it the Station
House Five plus nothing.

425
00:20:42,741 --> 00:20:45,035
Well, the teacher should
be dancing, not working.

426
00:20:45,161 --> 00:20:46,162
Yes, that's what I said.

427
00:20:46,287 --> 00:20:46,495
Stand up.

428
00:20:46,620 --> 00:20:47,663
Who?

429
00:20:47,788 --> 00:20:50,708
You'll have the best
music in the city.

430
00:20:50,833 --> 00:20:51,959
I'll hire it.

431
00:20:52,084 --> 00:20:52,251
Huh?

432
00:20:52,376 --> 00:20:53,419
Sit down.

433
00:20:54,879 --> 00:20:57,047
You do things at
all, do it right, I say.

434
00:20:57,173 --> 00:21:03,846
Now then, in as much as this is to be
the last dance in the old gymnasium...

435
00:21:03,971 --> 00:21:04,972
No!

436
00:21:07,349 --> 00:21:10,019
Did you say the last dance
of the old gymnasium?

437
00:21:10,144 --> 00:21:13,606
I'll see that you get a new gym,
Mr. Compton, on one condition, that you

438
00:21:13,731 --> 00:21:17,151
reappoint Miss Brooks and Mr. Boynton
as king and queen of the dance.

439
00:21:21,447 --> 00:21:25,951
And now, I'd better get out the
car if I'm going to drive you folks.

440
00:21:26,076 --> 00:21:27,953
Well, where are you going
to drive us, Mr. Whipple?

441
00:21:28,078 --> 00:21:30,873
On a shopping tour, that's
where I'm going to drive you.

442
00:21:30,998 --> 00:21:33,709
You folks are going to
have brand new outfits

443
00:21:33,834 --> 00:21:36,587
for this occasion, and
I'm going to buy them.

444
00:21:36,712 --> 00:21:38,088
Oh, but Mr. Whipple...
Now, don't argue.

445
00:21:38,214 --> 00:21:41,926
If you're going to be queen,
you're going to dress the part.

446
00:21:42,051 --> 00:21:44,261
Well, Mr. Whipple,
just a minute.

447
00:21:44,386 --> 00:21:47,306
You know, you've
roused my curiosity, sir.

448
00:21:47,431 --> 00:21:50,601
I've always heard about
people with hearts of

449
00:21:50,726 --> 00:21:54,438
gold, but I've always
wanted to see one for myself.

450
00:21:56,815 --> 00:22:00,361
Well, what do you know?

451
00:22:00,486 --> 00:22:02,655
What is it, Miss Brooks?

452
00:22:02,780 --> 00:22:07,284
He does have holes
in his undershirt.
