00:10The End
00:52Oh, uh, good afternoon, Miss Wilson.
00:55Oh, good afternoon.
00:56Isn't Dad here?
00:57Your father's in conference, Tommy.
01:00Oh, uh, may I come in?
01:05Well, aren't you in?
01:07Oh, yes.
01:15Are you alone?
01:18Not now.
01:26I'd like to...
01:31What's on your mind today, Tommy?
01:33Well, there's an important question I want to ask you, Miss Wilson.
01:37It's a question of vital importance, which you alone can answer.
01:42Why, Tommy, what can it be?
01:44Well, uh, do you think...
01:47No.
01:48Would it be possible...
01:50Oh, may I call you Grace, Miss Wilson?
01:55Why, certainly, if you like.
01:57Oh, thank you, Grace.
01:59Mm-hmm.
02:07Tommy, will you take this general order to Miss Ryan in the mimeographing department
02:12and ask her to make 20 copies, 15 of which are to be delivered to Mr. McCarthy in the shipping
02:17room,
02:18and the other five to Mr. Jones in the accounting office.
02:21All are to be posted in conspicuous places on the bulletin boards.
02:25All right, I'll do it.
02:39Miss Wilson.
02:40Yes?
02:41Take a letter.
02:41Yes, sir.
02:42And when I say letter, I mean letter.
02:47Wells and Hawks, comma, 809 State Street, comma, Chicago, comma, Illinois, period.
02:55Semi-colon.
02:57Gentlemen.
02:58No.
02:59Scratch that out.
03:00Don't call them gentlemen.
03:01There isn't a gentleman in the whole organization.
03:03Call them liars.
03:04Call them cheats.
03:04Call them cutthroats.
03:05Call them anything you like.
03:08Your shipment arrived today.
03:10And for inefficiency, for slipshod methods, for downright dishonesty,
03:15your firm should be awarded the inkless fountain pen
03:18to say nothing of the silk-lined tomato can.
03:21I am returning all your junk by freight.
03:25Yours without respect.
03:27Get that right out.
03:28Let me see it and type it in red ink.
03:31Yes, sir.
03:56Oh, Tommy.
03:57Did you dispose of that paper?
03:59Oh, yes.
04:00I disposed of it.
04:02You know, Grace, every minute I was gone seemed like an hour.
04:08You must wear your wristwatch over your heart.
04:10Oh, no, no.
04:11Here.
04:13Time is measured by heartthrobs, not by revolutions on a dial.
04:18Time is measured by heartthrobs.
04:50Oh, my letter, Miss Wilson.
04:53I tell you, when they read this, they'll know who they're dealing with.
04:56Wells and Hawks, 809 State Seat, Chicago, Illinois.
04:59Gentlemen.
05:04Your shipment received, but owing to breakage, is not satisfactory.
05:08And returning invoice of goods received would suggest in the future
05:12that more care and packing would ensure less loss en route.
05:16Yours, very truly.
05:20Is this what I dictated?
05:23Well, practically.
05:29Well, perhaps you're right.
05:33Oh, well, your son is here.
05:35He's here?
05:36Yes.
05:36He's home.
05:37Well, well, well.
05:38Well, there he is.
05:39Well, well, sonny, old man.
05:41Why, I'm glad to see you.
05:43Glad to see you.
05:44I never saw you looking better.
05:46My necktie.
05:47And my shirt.
05:49I thought you were home.
05:50Sit down, son.
05:51Sit down.
05:51I've got so much to talk over with you.
05:53Glad to see you.
05:54Glad to see you.
05:55Why, it seems now just a week or so every now and then
05:57between your college courses.
05:59That's about the only chance I get.
06:01Well, son, well, what's on your mind?
06:03Dad?
06:04Yes.
06:04I wanted to ask you if...
06:06No.
06:06I'll tell you right now, no.
06:07You cannot have that car tonight.
06:09For the past three nights, there hasn't been a drop of gasoline.
06:11No, no, that isn't it, Dad.
06:13Do you think a fellow should get married young?
06:15I have never heard anything like that in my life.
06:18Married young?
06:19Why, certainly not.
06:20My dear boy, every man before he thinks of getting married should wait.
06:24Wait until he cuts his wisdom tooth.
06:26Every man should wait and think it over very, very carefully.
06:29But, Dad, you and Mother were only 21.
06:32An entirely different affair.
06:33Your mother was a very wonderful woman.
06:35They don't make them like her anymore.
06:38My, it's been six years now, son, since she left us.
06:41It's been very, very lonesome.
06:44Don't you answer me back like that.
06:46Dad, what put this idea of marriage in your head?
06:50Well, I've been thinking about...
06:51Well, stop thinking about it.
06:52That's the whole trouble with marriage nowadays.
06:54Too much thought.
06:55Well, you just said that...
06:56Don't tell me what I said.
06:57I know what I said.
06:58I'm doing the talking.
06:59Besides, you've got to finish your college course first.
07:02Oh, but, Dad, I've met the most wonderful woman.
07:06Why, in the three weeks I've known her, I've discovered a new world.
07:09Three weeks?
07:11That put your studying up there in that school?
07:13Oh, I'm speaking seriously.
07:15I see you are, son.
07:16I see you are.
07:17Well, who is she?
07:19Miss Wilson.
07:20Wilson?
07:22Very familiar name, Wilson.
07:24That's a good name, Simon.
07:25A good, strong name.
07:26Full of character.
07:30You don't mean my secretary.
07:32Yes, sir.
07:34She's a quintessence of beauty.
07:36She's the what?
07:37Don't you talk like that about anybody.
07:39The quint...
07:39Quint...
07:40Of beauty.
07:41Oh, of beauty.
07:41Oh, Miss Wilson is.
07:43Yes, she's a very, very pretty girl.
07:45She's magnanimous and fine.
07:47She is magn...
07:47And she's fine.
07:49She is.
07:49She is indeed.
07:50She's pure as a driven snow.
07:52Oh, certainly, boys.
07:53Certainly.
07:54And she's self-reliant, too.
07:56She is self-reliant.
08:01Yes, sir.
08:02She is self-reliant.
08:07Well, how long has she been with you?
08:10Who, Miss Wilson?
08:12Let's see.
08:12Thirty days after September, April, June, and November.
08:15June...
08:16Two years.
08:16Well, then, surely you must have noticed these qualities in her.
08:19You would have thought so, wouldn't you?
08:21I don't understand it.
08:23I think possibly when a man gets to be my age, son, he's less observant of women than whippersnappers at
08:28your age.
08:29But now that you speak of it, she is...
08:31She is...
08:32She is Quint.
08:34A lovely, lovely woman, Miss Wilson.
08:36Lovely woman.
08:37Oh, then I have your consent to marry her?
08:39Have you hers?
08:40No, sir.
08:42Well, then you don't need mine.
08:43Oh, this is no time for repartee.
08:45It certainly isn't.
08:46It's a very serious affair.
08:54You're altogether too young to be married, son.
08:58Besides, I want you to finish college, then I want you to take a trip.
09:01Take a long trip.
09:02As long as you like.
09:03Go to China.
09:04I don't care when you come home.
09:05Stay as long as you like and see everything before you come back and settle down in an office for
09:10the rest of your life.
09:12And besides, Miss Wilson is altogether too old for you.
09:15Don't answer me like that.
09:16Catchy or so.
09:18Don't worry, son.
09:19Everything will be all right.
09:19I'll give you a nice check in the morning.
09:22For five dollars.
09:39Five dollars.
09:51Why so sad, Tommy?
09:56The shades of night have fallen over my soul.
10:00All is dark in here.
10:06Will you let me speak to you like a friend?
10:10Friend?
10:12Hollow word.
10:13I who love you.
10:15Let's be sensible, Tommy.
10:17You're 19 and I am...
10:20Wonderful.
10:21That's a very pretty speech.
10:23But I'm much older than that.
10:25And besides, Tommy, you have your college course to finish.
10:30Oh, what's college compared to love and romance?
10:34I may be young, Grace, but I've seen life.
10:37I sing with a poet.
10:40One moment let my lifeblood stream.
10:45Oh, yeah.
10:46From boyhood's fount of flame.
10:48Give me one giddy reeling dream
10:51Of life.
10:53All love and fame.
10:55Well, giddy dreams end in nightmares.
10:58Oh, you're disconcertingly practical at times.
11:08And if you really must know it, Tommy,
11:11my heart belongs to another.
11:14Another?
11:15Yes.
11:16Oh, my cup is bitter.
11:22Who is he?
11:24Well, I should prefer not to say.
11:34Well, I hope he's worthy of you.
11:36I hope I am worthy of him.
11:42What's he look like?
11:43Have you got a picture of him?
11:45Yes, I have a picture of him right here in my desk.
11:54Yes, I have a picture of him right here in my desk.
11:55Does he love you in the exalted way that you deserve?
11:58He's never spoken of his love.
12:00Never spoken of his love?
12:03Oh, fate is unkind.
12:08Gee, I had hope that the cruel ease of life would pass you by.
12:15Now we can be friends.
12:18Can't we, Tommy?
12:19Friends.
12:20Friends?
12:22Friends!
12:26Well, perhaps you're right, Grace.
12:31Friendship is a sweet bond.
12:33And I do, I am pretty young and I want to finish college.
12:36Because after I finish college, maybe then we can be married.
12:44Oh.
12:47Oh, but Dad.
12:51Oh, Miss Wilson.
12:55What's the matter with Miss Wilson?
12:56Is she ill?
12:57No, sir.
12:58Oh.
12:58She's in love.
13:00With you?
13:01No, sir.
13:02With somebody else.
13:03With whom?
13:04I don't know.
13:04Well, how do you know?
13:05She told me.
13:06What else did she tell you?
13:07She said he had never spoken his love.
13:09Never spoken of it?
13:11Never mentioned it?
13:12Not a word?
13:14What's the matter with him?
13:15Must be a cripple.
13:17He's deaf and dumb and blind.
13:19Well, there's his picture on her desk.
13:27That one?
13:28Mm-hmm.
13:35She told me that that was her brother.
13:38She did?
13:40I thought she was far too interested in her brother.
13:44Good looking, isn't he?
13:45Heh.
13:46Heh, heh, heh, heh, heh.
13:48Yes, yes.
13:48If you like that sort of a face.
13:51A receding chin, I knew it.
13:53See that chin?
13:53See?
13:54See how it goes back?
13:55That's a squint in the eye right there.
13:57That's a distinct squint, see?
13:59In both of them.
14:01Looks Russian to me.
14:03Dad, about how old a man do you think he is?
14:05Oh, he's a man about 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50.
14:10I don't know, I don't know.
14:11I no judge of men's ages.
14:15Well, Dad, oh, blonde, wavy hair.
14:18See?
14:18Blonde, wavy hair.
14:20Well, do you think that blondes are more attractive to women than brunettes?
14:23I wonder.
14:24They are not.
14:25Don't you ever get an idea like that in your head?
14:27Your mother told me that if I hadn't been a brunette, she...
14:32Well, I don't know.
14:33I don't know.
14:36Dad, listen.
14:37Do you think that women like...
14:38I don't think anything about women.
14:39I don't know anything about them.
14:41Nobody knows anything about them, and I know less than anybody else.
14:43When you get out of here, you've ruined my day completely.
14:46Ask Miss Wilson to come right in here.
14:48Right in here.
14:48Miss Wilson, right in here.
14:50Yeah.
14:50Yeah.
14:57Blue-eyed Russians.
15:00Blonde-haired.
15:01Long eyelashes, I suppose.
15:06I thought I told you to go...
15:11Sit down, Miss Wilson.
15:12Look who wears them.
15:16Okay.
15:18Okay.
15:19Good.
15:33Good morning, Miss Wilson.
15:33Very well...
15:33Into this, let's take a little bit of fear.
15:34This is...
15:34You know, please don't get in the way.
15:34All right.
15:34Or...
15:34I think you see them...
15:35You know, but it's going on.
15:49Miss Wilson?
15:54Take a letter.
15:56Brown and Jones, Akron, Ohio.
15:59Sirs, kindly send three of your metal filing cabinets,
16:03number 692,
16:06at the price quoted in your letter of November 13th.
16:11Miss Wilson?
16:14Are you fond of home life?
16:17Why, yes, sir.
16:19That's nice.
16:21The check for these filing cabinets will be forwarded upon delivery.
16:27Miss Wilson?
16:29Are you fond of children?
16:34Surely.
16:35That's nice.
16:36My son was telling me that you...
16:40This is to skin them and skin them.
16:42Attorneys, Washington, D.C.
16:45I'm enclosing here with, for collection,
16:48a bill against a firm in your city.
16:51Miss Wilson?
16:52Yes?
16:52Do you sell?
16:53Oh, yes.
16:54I'm very fond of fancy work.
16:56That's nice.
16:58The itemized statement and the memoranda are enclosed herewith.
17:06The cold-water drunkenness cure, Volstead, Kansas.
17:11Kind sirs,
17:13please stop sending me letters in regard to your cold-water liquor cure.
17:20The constant receipt of these letters with your name emblazoned, that's a Z in emblazoned,
17:26on the envelope,
17:29caused every one of my employees to believe that I am a confirmed drunkard.
17:35Miss Wilson,
17:37you don't think that I'm a boozer, do you?
17:39Oh, on the contrary.
17:41I've always admired you.
17:43That's nice.
17:45You're tempering.
17:47That's nice.
17:51This is a straight telegram.
17:53Freshwater College, Missouri.
17:57Kindly reserve room in dormitory for the return of my son, Thomas.
18:04Miss Wilson?
18:05Yes?
18:05You do think that he should return to college, don't you?
18:08I certainly do.
18:09The quicker, the better.
18:11That's nice.
18:14Miss Wilson,
18:15my son was telling me that you have an admirer.
18:18Well, that's hardly accurate.
18:20I told him that I admired someone greatly.
18:25Well, I'll be.
18:26I mean to say,
18:27I thought that he...
18:28What I wanted to say was that I don't see how anyone could fail,
18:32could help but admire...
18:33Just recently,
18:34it has seemed that perhaps he does care for me.
18:38Just a little.
18:39He does?
18:40Yes.
18:42He does?
18:45He does.
18:47That's nice.
18:49Miss Wilson,
18:50what I was leading up to was...
18:52Yes.
18:56Why, it's five o'clock.
19:00Is that all?
19:03Well, practically.
19:07Good night, Miss Wilson.
19:28Nice girl.
19:30Oh, nice girl.
19:33Oh, nice girl.
19:33Nice girl.
19:35Nice girl.
19:55Miss Wilson.
19:59Miss Wilson.
20:00Miss Wilson.
20:01Yes?
20:03Miss Wilson.
20:05What is it?
20:06Sit down.
20:06Sit down, Miss Wilson.
20:07Sit right down.
20:08Yes?
20:08Take a letter.
20:09On the machine.
20:10Oh.
20:18Dear, sweet, kind young lady.
20:24I have been deaf and dumb and blind.
20:29Oh, I wish I could spout poetry as my son does
20:32in order to prove my devotion,
20:35but I can't.
20:38In other words,
20:40to be short,
20:43to be brief,
20:47and to the point,
20:49will you marry me?
21:06Yes, that's the letter.
21:07Isn't there any answer?
21:09Well, who is it to?
21:13Why, Miss Grace Wilson.
21:17In another moment,
21:18I should have proposed myself.
21:21Oh, Grace.
21:23Who is he?
21:23Who is he?
21:24Right there.
21:24Who is he?
21:25Well, that's my brother.
21:26I've often spoken of him.
21:28Of course you have.
21:28I told him it was your brother.
21:29I told him all the time.
21:31But he told me that you told him
21:33that you had a picture of the man you loved
21:34on your desk.
21:35Oh, I said in my desk.
21:37I told him it was in the desk.
21:39I told him.
21:40Son, son, son, come in, come in.
21:43What happened?
21:44Miss Wilson has an announcement to me.
21:46What is it?
21:47I'm going to be married.
21:49You are?
21:50I am.
21:51To me?
21:52Oh, no.
21:53To whom?
21:56Ask Dad.
21:57He knows.
