- 0:00Speaker 1: My ears?
- 0:01Speaker 2: Best piece of music equipment I own. They've been with
- 0:03Speaker 2: me through everything, even the 90s. Back when you'd hear
- 0:06Speaker 2: about parties from photocopied flyers. Before outdoor raves moved indoors.
- 0:11Speaker 2: And now, the music's changed. But I wanted to make
- 0:14Speaker 2: sure my ears hadn't. So I did the free online
- 0:16Speaker 2: hearing screener from Specsavers. And got on the test list.
- 0:20Speaker 2: Only took three minutes. It's like my own little sound check.
- 0:23Speaker 2: Try Specsavers' free online hearing screener. Visit the website to
- 0:26Speaker 2: find out more. Hearing screener is not a diagnosis.
- 0:30Speaker 3: The car is beautiful. Where did you end up going
- 0:33Speaker 3: for it?
- 0:33Speaker 4: This exclusive place that Dad has connections with. They have
- 0:36Speaker 4: more cars for more dealerships than like anywhere else.
- 0:39Speaker 3: You have to put me in touch. What's it called?
- 0:41Speaker 4: It's Dunaidial.
- 0:43Speaker 5: Where?
- 0:45Speaker 4: Dunaidial. There's an accent on the E.
- 0:49Speaker 3: Do you mean.
- 0:49Speaker 4: Yes, I got it on Dundale Cars.
- 0:51Speaker 6: Lift? Please.
- 0:52Speaker 3: Are you going past Kimmage?
- 0:54Speaker 6: Oh, Kimmage.
- 0:55Speaker 5: No.
- 0:56Speaker 4: Dundale Cars. You couldn't possibly go anywhere else.
- 1:06Speaker 7: Stephen Brothers Company, the makers of Luxe Flakes, bring you
- 1:10Speaker 7: the Luxe Radio Theater, starring Betty Davis and James Stewart
- 1:15Speaker 7: in June Bride. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr.
- 1:20Speaker 6: William Keeley.
- 1:28Speaker 5: Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. We're both proud and
- 1:32Speaker 5: happy here in the Luxe Radio Theater this evening.
- 1:35Speaker 1: Proud.
- 1:36Speaker 6: because.
- 1:36Speaker 5: This is the opening of the most promising season we've
- 1:39Speaker 5: ever had. And happy because we can sincerely welcome you
- 1:43Speaker 5: back as old friends.
- 1:46Speaker 6: In honor of this.
- 1:46Speaker 5: Special occasion, we present two stars whose names carry the
- 1:50Speaker 5: enchantment of great theater, Betty Davis and James Stewart. And
- 1:55Speaker 5: they star in a comedy that has delighted screen audiences
- 1:59Speaker 5: all over the country. It's the Warner Brothers hit, June Bride.
- 2:04Speaker 5: Of course, a title like June Bride calls up thoughts
- 2:07Speaker 5: of orange blossoms and romance. But modern brides must be homemakers, too.
- 2:12Speaker 5: Here's the first act of June Bride, starring James Stewart
- 2:19Speaker 5: as Carrie Jackson and Betty Davis as Linda Gilman. In
- 2:31Speaker 5: the elaborate office building of the Allied Magazine Syndicate, three
- 2:35Speaker 5: entire floors are devoted to the highly successful Home Life magazine.
- 2:40Speaker 5: At the head of this minor empire is Home Life's
- 2:43Speaker 5: efficient editor, Miss Linda Gilman.
- 2:48Speaker 6: May I come in, Madam Editor?
- 2:49Speaker 8: Harry, it's you.
- 2:53Speaker 6: You're back. Hello. Oh, well, a great big enthusiastic hello
- 2:59Speaker 6: to you, too. How have you been, Linda?
- 3:02Speaker 9: Reasonably well, considering I haven't had you.
- 3:05Speaker 6: Around for the past three years. That long, huh?
- 3:08Speaker 1: Yes, the last time I saw you, we.
- 3:09Speaker 6: Had lunch at Marcel's. That was August 12th, 1946. We
- 3:14Speaker 6: were supposed to dine at Caesar's, only you went to
- 3:17Speaker 6: Berlin instead. I might have known you'd remember. By the way,
- 3:20Speaker 6: our date is off, isn't it?
- 3:22Speaker 1: When I didn't hear from you for three years, I
- 3:24Speaker 1: leaped to that conclusion.
- 3:26Speaker 8: You heel.
- 3:27Speaker 6: Oh, no. Don't be like that.
- 3:31Speaker 8: All right, anyway.
- 3:32Speaker 6: Anyway, you're not really a heel.
- 3:33Speaker 5: You just give that impression.
- 3:36Speaker 6: What do you want? Well, can't I stop in and
- 3:38Speaker 6: say hello without being suspected? Yeah, you're being very charming,
- 3:42Speaker 6: very reasonable, and very boyish. Unless you've changed, that means
- 3:45Speaker 6: you're about to drink somebody's blood.
- 3:48Speaker 1: Probably mine.
- 3:50Speaker 6: Look, I've just been up to see the boss. He
- 3:52Speaker 6: fired me.
- 3:53Speaker 8: Really?
- 3:53Speaker 7: And here I was thinking he couldn't read.
- 3:57Speaker 6: Oh, you're sweet. Now, anyhow, he hired me back again.
- 4:01Speaker 6: He can't read. You know who my new editor is?
- 4:04Speaker 7: No, who?
- 4:05Speaker 6: You. Oh, no. He wouldn't do that. He's already done it.
- 4:09Speaker 6: He assigned me to the Home Life in America series.
- 4:12Speaker 8: Oh, well, I did.
- 4:13Speaker 6: No, no, this isn't very flattering, you know. After all,
- 4:15Speaker 6: I'm still pretty handy with a pipe rider. I'm gay.
- 4:18Speaker 6: I'm lovable. I've got nice teeth. What else do you want?
- 4:22Speaker 6: I'll be as tactful as possible, Carrie. I don't want
- 4:25Speaker 6: you around. Grudge, nurse. No, nothing personal. You're a fine fellow,
- 4:29Speaker 6: but I won't.
- 4:31Speaker 3: Have you on my magazine.
- 4:32Speaker 6: Why not? You're a foreign correspondent, Carrie. You're used to exciting,
- 4:36Speaker 6: important stories.
- 4:37Speaker 7: The most exciting thing that happens to the people we.
- 4:40Speaker 6: Write about is a $ 5 raise for par. You'd be
- 4:43Speaker 6: awfully bored.
- 4:44Speaker 2: You'd start making fun of them.
- 4:45Speaker 6: It would not work out. Well, at least couldn't we
- 4:47Speaker 6: just talk about it? After all, I... Now, wait a minute.
- 4:50Speaker 6: Wait a minute. Where are you going?
- 4:51Speaker 7: I'm going to dinner.
- 4:53Speaker 6: To date?
- 4:54Speaker 9: No.
- 4:55Speaker 6: Well, then have dinner with me. The one we missed
- 4:57Speaker 6: three years ago.
- 4:58Speaker 8: I'm glad I didn't wait.
- 5:01Speaker 6: Well, we could have dinner at Caesar's. They don't know
- 5:03Speaker 6: my credit's no good. Sounds rightfully expensive. Hasn't it? Sure ones, then.
- 5:09Speaker 6: Only about five bucks for the two of us. You
- 5:11Speaker 6: can afford that much, can't.
- 5:14Speaker 5: You?
- 5:14Speaker 8: Now, look, Terry.
- 5:16Speaker 6: What are you so suspicious about? We'll have dinner. I'll
- 5:20Speaker 6: take you home.
- 5:20Speaker 5: Early. It's a very busy day tomorrow.
- 5:23Speaker 9: I'm going to Indiana.
- 5:24Speaker 6: Oh, yes, Indiana. My first assignment, huh?
- 5:26Speaker 5: You?
- 5:27Speaker 8: Indiana?
- 5:28Speaker 1: Don't be ridiculous. Had a lovely time, Terry.
- 5:39Speaker 6: Lovely, lovely. It was lovely. Ah, lovely. Now let me in.
- 5:44Speaker 2: Have to get up early in the morning.
- 5:46Speaker 6: Good night. Good night. I can only stay for a minute.
- 5:50Speaker 6: You're so... This is nice. Here we are, sort of
- 5:56Speaker 6: picking things up just where we left off, you know?
- 5:58Speaker 6: You're picking nothing up. Not one single bygone is going
- 6:02Speaker 6: to be a bygone.
- 6:02Speaker 1: As far as I'm concerned.
- 6:04Speaker 7: Stop turning the lights out.
- 6:06Speaker 6: Hmm? Look, now, if you're still sore about me walking
- 6:10Speaker 6: out on you three years ago, I can explain.
- 6:12Speaker 1: I am definitely not interested.
- 6:14Speaker 5: Much.
- 6:16Speaker 6: You were pretty ambitious in those days, Linda. I still am.
- 6:19Speaker 6: I knew exactly what you wanted, where you were going,
- 6:21Speaker 6: how to get it. I sound like a subway.
- 6:26Speaker 8: Stop creeping up on me.
- 6:27Speaker 6: Hmm? Oh. Well, anyway, that day I left you after
- 6:33Speaker 6: we had lunch together, well, I started looking in store
- 6:36Speaker 6: windows Suddenly I had a terrible realization. That you've forgotten
- 6:39Speaker 6: to borrow taxis there from me? No, no. No, I
- 6:43Speaker 6: found myself looking at furniture. Household furniture. Bedroom suites. Two
- 6:49Speaker 6: dollars down. One thousand five hundred sixty-seven weeks to pay.
- 6:56Speaker 6: For the first time in my life, I wanted to
- 6:58Speaker 6: get married. And it bowled me over. I just stood there, paralyzed.
- 7:02Speaker 8: Then what?
- 7:03Speaker 6: I hopped the first plane for Germany. I just couldn't
- 7:07Speaker 6: live the way you do. Tied down, everything all planned out.
- 7:11Speaker 6: Even when I was making love to you, I sort
- 7:14Speaker 6: of had a feeling that you were wondering what time
- 7:16Speaker 6: it was. That is not the sweetest thing anyone's ever
- 7:19Speaker 6: said to me. Yes, I suppose you were terribly angry,
- 7:22Speaker 6: and I'm sorry.
- 7:24Speaker 7: Oh, I've got over it.
- 7:26Speaker 6: Completely? The one thing that obviously never occurred to you, Carrie,
- 7:31Speaker 6: I don't think I would have married you. Well, Linda,
- 7:34Speaker 6: I'm amazed.
- 7:35Speaker 5: You came back expecting to find a broken butterfly quivering
- 7:39Speaker 5: in the void of your absence, didn't you?
- 7:41Speaker 6: Yes, yes, Linda. Yes, that's right. Yes. This isn't at
- 7:47Speaker 6: all what I expected. Furthermore, it's nicer this way. Kind
- 7:52Speaker 6: of like old times, isn't it? Just the two of
- 7:54Speaker 6: us sitting here talking. We always did talk a lot,
- 7:59Speaker 6: didn't we?
- 8:00Speaker 5: We talked away everything that ever meant anything to us.
- 8:04Speaker 6: No, I... Not everything.
- 8:09Speaker 5: Not, uh.
- 8:09Speaker 6: Not Carrie.
- 8:11Speaker 8: No, no, no, Carrie.
- 8:13Speaker 6: Not everything.
- 8:14Speaker 8: Carrie, now.
- 8:15Speaker 6: Ouch! Ah, you're smooth and charming.
- 8:19Speaker 1: You turn it on like hot water for my thoughts.
- 8:22Speaker 8: But I had.
- 8:22Speaker 3: Measles once, and now I'm immune.
- 8:24Speaker 6: I always know what time it is now, Carrie.
- 8:28Speaker 1: It's 11.20.
- 8:28Speaker 3: I have to be up early.
- 8:29Speaker 5: Mm-hmm.
- 8:30Speaker 6: Carrie, you dear gullible boy, you just struck out. Linda, now,
- 8:35Speaker 6: we know each other too well for all this. We
- 8:37Speaker 6: still go for each other, and you know it.
- 8:40Speaker 5: I only know that you're very casual about these.
- 8:43Speaker 8: Things, and I'm not.
- 8:45Speaker 6: I'd wake up one morning and find you were in Afghanistan. Linda. Linda.
- 8:51Speaker 6: All right, all right, I'll go. Quietly and sadly into
- 8:54Speaker 6: the night went fun-loving Carrie Jackson. The schmo of the week. Oh,
- 9:00Speaker 6: I almost forgot. The job on your magazine, do I
- 9:03Speaker 6: get it? Yes. Goody, goody.
- 9:04Speaker 1: On certain conditions, I'm editor.
- 9:07Speaker 6: I'm running Home Life magazine.
- 9:08Speaker 1: That means you'll have.
- 9:09Speaker 6: To take orders from me. A pleasure, boss.
- 9:12Speaker 5: And you'll have to forget.
- 9:13Speaker 7: I'm a woman.
- 9:14Speaker 6: Hmm. Well, I'll try. Linda Gilman is not a woman.
- 9:20Speaker 6: Linda Gilman is not a woman. Here, have a cigar.
- 9:26Speaker 4: Thanks.
- 9:27Speaker 6: Thanks, I'll smoke it after breakfast. See you at the office, Terry.
- 9:30Speaker 1: This is Ed inside, everyone. Good morning.
- 9:41Speaker 6: Good morning.
- 9:42Speaker 5: Good morning, everyone.
- 9:43Speaker 6: Grab a chair and I'll get started.
- 9:44Speaker 5: Oh, morning, Terry.
- 9:46Speaker 6: Good morning, sir. You met everyone? Oh, yes, yes, yes.
- 9:51Speaker 6: They all wanted to know how I got my stuff
- 9:53Speaker 6: in the business, I said.
- 9:54Speaker 7: What did you tell them?
- 9:55Speaker 6: Just lucky, I guess.
- 9:56Speaker 1: How nice.
- 9:58Speaker 5: Now, now, as you know, our story concerns the Brinker.
- 10:00Speaker 1: Family in Central Indiana.
- 10:02Speaker 6: Two young girls, usual number of parents.
- 10:04Speaker 7: Yeah, what's the old man do, Linda?
- 10:05Speaker 6: Well, Mr.
- 10:06Speaker 8: Brinker owns a hardware store. The house, incidentally, is a
- 10:09Speaker 8: museum piece.
- 10:11Speaker 6: So is Mrs. Brinker. Paula, you have to put her
- 10:13Speaker 6: on a diet, don't I always? Just to satisfy my
- 10:16Speaker 6: own curiosity, how did Home Life magazine happen to pick
- 10:19Speaker 6: this particular family? Well, the eldest daughter's being married anyway.
- 10:22Speaker 6: She happens to fit into our schedule.
- 10:24Speaker 7: She's willing to be married right away for us.
- 10:26Speaker 6: Oh, Paula, you'll see that their clothes are brought up
- 10:28Speaker 6: to date. Use light, summery materials. And, Rosemary, you'll make
- 10:32Speaker 6: out the usual household budget and weekly menu and keep
- 10:34Speaker 6: them simple and... Scotty, usual pictures. What about me? Well,
- 10:38Speaker 6: this will be a 19-page.
- 10:40Speaker 5: Feature, Kerry, about 5,000 words. We'll call it June Bride.
- 10:44Speaker 6: Hmm. Isn't that a little daring? Now, all of you
- 10:49Speaker 6: remember this is a typical small-town family, and they have
- 10:52Speaker 6: to live with the house, the clothes, and the neighbors
- 10:54Speaker 6: after we've gone. I had the local carpenter, painter, and
- 10:57Speaker 6: upholsterer working in the house for the past two weeks.
- 11:00Speaker 5: Mrs.
- 11:00Speaker 7: Blinker expects us tomorrow.
- 11:02Speaker 6: Oh.
- 11:02Speaker 7: She's going to.
- 11:03Speaker 8: Bake a cake.
- 11:04Speaker 5: Oh, no.
- 11:06Speaker 6: Very well. Remember, it's winter, and we have to do
- 11:08Speaker 6: a June wedding in less than a week.
- 11:09Speaker 1: Any questions?
- 11:10Speaker 5: No.
- 11:10Speaker 8: Fine.
- 11:11Speaker 1: Fine.
- 11:11Speaker 5: That's all for now.
- 11:12Speaker 6: Oh, Cary. Yeah? You and I are flying out this afternoon.
- 11:16Speaker 6: We are? Four feet of snow in Crestville. Better wear
- 11:19Speaker 6: your longies. I want to look here, Linda. Now, of
- 11:21Speaker 6: all the corny... Tell me all about it on the plane.
- 11:23Speaker 8: We're leaving at 1.10.
- 11:24Speaker 7: Yes, sir.
- 11:35Speaker 6: Well, at least I have a rough idea of what
- 11:37Speaker 6: we'll do with the Brinker's house. I wish I had
- 11:39Speaker 6: a rough idea of what I was going to use
- 11:40Speaker 6: for a story. You have your story, 19-year-old girl marries
- 11:43Speaker 6: boy next door.
- 11:43Speaker 5: It's America's best.
- 11:45Speaker 6: You're really getting folksy, aren't you? Next thing you know,
- 11:48Speaker 6: you'll be crocheting and putting up pickled cucumber pits.
- 11:51Speaker 5: Now, listen, you stop sneering in that superior way of
- 11:54Speaker 5: yours at all the important things in life.
- 11:56Speaker 8: Who's sneering?
- 11:58Speaker 6: Oh, let's see. There are two children in the family, huh?
- 12:01Speaker 5: Jean, age 19.
- 12:01Speaker 6: Boo, age 17. Boo? Short for Barbara. Jean couldn't pronounce
- 12:08Speaker 6: Barbara when they were babies. Called her a boobah, and
- 12:10Speaker 6: it stuck. Uh-huh. What are these harpies like?
- 12:13Speaker 7: Oh, Jean's very pretty.
- 12:15Speaker 5: Very.
- 12:15Speaker 6: Well, well, why didn't you say so?
- 12:18Speaker 8: Wipe off your chin, dear.
- 12:19Speaker 7: The groom plays football.
- 12:21Speaker 6: Mm, oh.
- 12:22Speaker 5: You can work it into the story.
- 12:23Speaker 6: Oh, what story? The only way I'll get a story
- 12:26Speaker 6: is to have typical Mr. Brinker beat typical Mrs. Brinker
- 12:29Speaker 6: to death with a typical meat ax, I think. Be reasonable, Linda.
- 12:33Speaker 6: I've got to find a gimmick.
- 12:34Speaker 7: You've got your gimmick.
- 12:35Speaker 8: A June bride.
- 12:36Speaker 6: Hmm. Maybe there's insanity in the family. You know, an
- 12:39Speaker 6: alcohol or something?
- 12:40Speaker 5: Now, listen, Carrie.
- 12:41Speaker 6: I'm very serious about this.
- 12:43Speaker 9: I won't stand for any hoax.
- 12:44Speaker 7: You're going to write a straight young love story.
- 12:47Speaker 6: No twists, no angles, and no drama. I am.
- 12:50Speaker 7: And you're going to be nice to the Brinkers.
- 12:52Speaker 6: No little jokes at their expense. Hmm. Carrie, please be charming. Okay.
- 12:59Speaker 5: Okay.
- 13:00Speaker 6: Thank you. Well, here's the half.
- 13:09Speaker 8: Oh, oh, Kelly, one.
- 13:10Speaker 5: Thing you have to learn about Indiana people.
- 13:12Speaker 6: They don't talk a great deal unless it's important. Well,
- 13:15Speaker 6: I know why. They're afraid if they open their mouths,
- 13:17Speaker 6: they'll freeze their teeth. I've never been so cold in
- 13:20Speaker 6: my life.
- 13:20Speaker 5: Why?
- 13:21Speaker 1: Keep quiet.
- 13:22Speaker 8: Someone's coming.
- 13:23Speaker 6: I hope it's a St. Bernard.
- 13:26Speaker 8: Yes?
- 13:28Speaker 6: Well, it is a St. Bernard. Yes.
- 13:32Speaker 5: Yes.
- 13:34Speaker 6: Well, my dear Mrs. Brinker, I would have known you anyway.
- 13:37Speaker 6: It was very nice to see you. And how are
- 13:39Speaker 6: the children, Miss Brinker?
- 13:40Speaker 5: Huh.
- 13:42Speaker 6: Ehem. Wasn't I charming enough? Oh, yes, dear. There was
- 13:47Speaker 6: only one little thing the matter. That wasn't Mrs.
- 13:50Speaker 5: Brinker.
- 13:50Speaker 6: Oh.
- 13:51Speaker 7: Hello.
- 13:51Speaker 6: Miss Newman.
- 13:53Speaker 8: I'll be right down. Don't kill anything.
- 13:55Speaker 6: Who was that?
- 13:56Speaker 8: Sounds like food.
- 13:57Speaker 5: Come on.
- 13:57Speaker 8: We'll wait in the living room.
- 13:58Speaker 6: Huh. Now what? This is the living room.
- 14:04Speaker 5: It's a purple horror, all right, so we'll do something
- 14:07Speaker 5: with it.
- 14:08Speaker 6: Yeah, we set fire to it in several places.
- 14:11Speaker 8: I won't be half bad when we get rid of
- 14:13Speaker 8: some of the knick-knacks and cut away.
- 14:14Speaker 6: The scroll work. You mean to tell me you can
- 14:16Speaker 6: do something with this funeral parlor?
- 14:18Speaker 1: You'd be surprised. Why the sardonic smirks?
- 14:22Speaker 6: No, I wasn't smirking. I'm just looking at you with
- 14:26Speaker 6: new respect.
- 14:27Speaker 8: Why?
- 14:28Speaker 6: Because I know my business. Frankly, I thought you'd be
- 14:33Speaker 6: out of place in Indiana. Now I can even imagine
- 14:36Speaker 6: you churning a tub of butter. How am I doing? Well,
- 14:42Speaker 6: your hair is in your eyes, but you look wonderful. Linda.
- 14:48Speaker 5: Linda, I.
- 14:49Speaker 6: The dining room is in here. See that plate rack
- 14:53Speaker 6: on the wall?
- 14:53Speaker 8: You like cleaning them.
- 14:54Speaker 6: How can you talk about plate racks when I'm feeling
- 14:57Speaker 6: so affectionate?
- 14:59Speaker 8: You must be falling out.
- 15:03Speaker 6: Now, Linda, now, we're going to be here for a
- 15:05Speaker 6: whole week, and I have what I think is a
- 15:08Speaker 6: wonderful idea, and it starts out like this. I have
- 15:16Speaker 6: a better idea. Go to the hotel and take a
- 15:18Speaker 6: nice cold shower. Oh, I give up. Oh, no, don't
- 15:21Speaker 6: give up.
- 15:22Speaker 8: It's very interesting.
- 15:23Speaker 6: Nobody makes love like that in Indiana.
- 15:26Speaker 1: Or anywhere else.
- 15:26Speaker 8: Hello, Boo, dear. How nice to see you again. This
- 15:29Speaker 8: is Carrie Jackson, our feature writer.
- 15:31Speaker 5: Don't go too near him, Boo. He wants to jujitsu.
- 15:34Speaker 8: Mother and Jean will be right down.
- 15:35Speaker 6: We didn't expect you so soon.
- 15:37Speaker 8: Who was that saint for a night?
- 15:39Speaker 6: That, uh, that.
- 15:41Speaker 8: Lady who let us in. Oh. Must have been Mrs.
- 15:44Speaker 5: Lace from next door.
- 15:45Speaker 7: She's dropping us at the curtain.
- 15:47Speaker 6: Daddy, they're here.
- 15:49Speaker 5: They are?
- 15:50Speaker 6: Well, hello, folks.
- 15:53Speaker 5: This is Mr.
- 15:53Speaker 1: Jackson's father.
- 15:54Speaker 6: He's awfully nice for an older man. Yeah, just call
- 15:58Speaker 6: me Gramps.
- 16:00Speaker 8: Well, I'm glad to know you, Mr.
- 16:01Speaker 6: Jackson, I'm sure. Well, here's Mrs. Brinker now.
- 16:05Speaker 4: Hello, Miss Gilman.
- 16:06Speaker 8: Hello, Mrs.
- 16:07Speaker 6: Brinker.
- 16:07Speaker 8: And hello, Gene.
- 16:08Speaker 6: I'd like you both to meet our feature writer, Carrie Jackson. Carrie, Mrs.
- 16:12Speaker 8: Brinker, and Gene.
- 16:13Speaker 6: Well, Mrs. Brinker, it's so nice to see you. I
- 16:15Speaker 6: know you anywhere. I've heard so much about you.
- 16:18Speaker 8: And this, of course.
- 16:20Speaker 6: Is Gene. Hello. Yes, you certainly are. Oh, I think
- 16:25Speaker 6: it's all terribly exciting.
- 16:27Speaker 3: All you people coming all the way to Indiana just
- 16:29Speaker 3: for my little old wedding.
- 16:30Speaker 6: Why, we wouldn't miss your little old wedding for a
- 16:32Speaker 6: little old million dollars. And I wish you'd tell us
- 16:35Speaker 6: more about how you go about this kind of a story.
- 16:38Speaker 8: You told me a lot.
- 16:39Speaker 6: The last time, Miss Gilman, but since then.
- 16:41Speaker 7: The relatives.
- 16:43Speaker 8: Well.
- 16:44Speaker 5: I was wondering if we really should go through with it.
- 16:47Speaker 6: Oh, but Mrs. Drinker, you'll be famous, absolutely famous. Now,
- 16:51Speaker 6: let's go upstairs and have a chat, shall we? I'd
- 16:53Speaker 6: like to wash up. Oh, we're all invited out for supper,
- 16:55Speaker 6: Miss Gilman.
- 16:56Speaker 4: It's time for the neighbors.
- 16:56Speaker 7: They're giving a barn dance and a sleigh ride.
- 16:59Speaker 5: How wonderful.
- 17:00Speaker 6: Yeah, that's great. Well, I guess this is sort of
- 17:04Speaker 6: an occasion. Are you a temperance man, Mr. Jackson? Am
- 17:10Speaker 6: I a temperance? Are you by any chance asking me
- 17:14Speaker 6: if I'll have a drink? I'll go get it. I
- 17:18Speaker 6: have to keep it hid like I saw in the
- 17:20Speaker 6: movies once.
- 17:21Speaker 9: Mrs.
- 17:21Speaker 5: Brinker's temperance. Oh.
- 17:24Speaker 6: Oh, it's all right, boo. Come in. Oh, I didn't
- 17:27Speaker 6: think you saw me. No, I'm glad I did. I
- 17:30Speaker 6: want to talk to you. Oh, what about? Well, you.
- 17:34Speaker 6: You're a very attractive young lady. You shouldn't let Jane
- 17:37Speaker 6: push you out of sight the way she does.
- 17:38Speaker 7: Yes, Mark.
- 17:39Speaker 6: Oh, Alice, who am I to oppose the opinion of thousands?
- 17:45Speaker 6: Those are pictures on the mantelpiece. Are they family? Most
- 17:48Speaker 6: of them. Tell me, how are all your uncles?
- 17:52Speaker 5: Oh, fine. All except Uncle Harry, and we don't talk
- 17:55Speaker 5: about him.
- 17:56Speaker 1: Oh, oh.
- 17:57Speaker 6: A little soft on the head, maybe? Oh, no.
- 18:01Speaker 9: He's a Democrat.
- 18:02Speaker 1: Oh, I see.
- 18:05Speaker 6: Uh, who's the, uh, who's the boy on the photograph
- 18:07Speaker 6: with you?
- 18:08Speaker 8: Oh, that's Bud.
- 18:09Speaker 6: The happy bridegroom, huh? Nice guy?
- 18:11Speaker 8: Wonderful. Uh-huh.
- 18:14Speaker 6: I gather Boo likes Bud.
- 18:16Speaker 8: Uh-huh.
- 18:17Speaker 6: Does he know? It wouldn't make any difference. Oh, now
- 18:20Speaker 6: you mustn't underestimate yourself.
- 18:23Speaker 5: No, I just haven't got sock.
- 18:26Speaker 6: What is sock? Bounce. Bounce. Oh. Oh, yes.
- 18:34Speaker 5: Bounce.
- 18:35Speaker 1: I see.
- 18:35Speaker 5: Well, I just haven't got any.
- 18:37Speaker 1: And Gene has.
- 18:39Speaker 8: He used to make Jim awfully mad.
- 18:41Speaker 6: Jim? He's my brother. Well, why should he care? My goodness,
- 18:44Speaker 6: he and Gene were engaged once. They were. And Bud's
- 18:50Speaker 6: brother and Gene, well, what happened?
- 18:52Speaker 7: Well, Jim stayed in the Army after the war.
- 18:54Speaker 5: He was stationed in Chicago.
- 18:56Speaker 8: Well, he doesn't get home very often, and, well, I
- 18:59Speaker 8: don't know. I guess Gene just likes attention.
- 19:01Speaker 6: I see. So Gene took up with Bud, leaving Jim
- 19:05Speaker 6: out in the cold, and you, too. And the wedding's
- 19:08Speaker 6: only a few days off, and you'll all live unhappily
- 19:11Speaker 6: ever after. Boy, what an angle. Angle? What would happen...
- 19:18Speaker 6: If Jim came home before the wedding? It would probably
- 19:22Speaker 6: cause an awful lot of trouble. It would? But I'd
- 19:25Speaker 6: like it. You'd like it, and I'd have something to
- 19:27Speaker 6: write about. Let me see. I could tell the public
- 19:31Speaker 6: relations officer in Chicago to use the hallowed name of
- 19:34Speaker 6: Home Life Magazine, get Jim ordered back here. Now, who's
- 19:37Speaker 6: the public relations officer in Chicago?
- 19:40Speaker 5: Lynn.
- 19:40Speaker 6: Lynn. Lynn, I said Major Howard Lynn. He'd do it
- 19:44Speaker 6: all right, too. Oh, that's wonderful. Let's call him right.
- 19:47Speaker 7: Now, Mr.
- 19:48Speaker 6: Jackson. No, forget it.
- 19:50Speaker 8: But why?
- 19:51Speaker 6: That determined young lady upstairs would serve my head on
- 19:54Speaker 6: a platter with an apple in my mouth. Probably would
- 19:58Speaker 6: cause an awful lot of trouble.
- 20:00Speaker 1: But.
- 20:00Speaker 6: Mr. Jackson, Papa and I are going to make some
- 20:04Speaker 6: beautiful music.
- 20:05Speaker 8: Ah, you better chew a clove for an encore.
- 20:09Speaker 6: You better go upstairs.
- 20:11Speaker 8: I will.
- 20:13Speaker 5: But first, I've got a phone call to make.
- 20:16Speaker 6: Operator. I want to make a long-distance call.
- 20:20Speaker 8: I want to speak to Major Howard Zinn at the
- 20:22Speaker 8: Army base in Chicago.
- 20:23Speaker 6: One moment, please. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh.
- 20:27Speaker 1: Oh, my gosh.
- 20:37Speaker 6: Mr. Producer. Mr. William Keeling.
- 20:39Speaker 5: Act two of June Bride, starring James Stewart as Carrie
- 20:43Speaker 5: Jackson and Betty Davis as Linda Gilman.
- 20:53Speaker 8: Well, it's a few minutes later.
- 20:55Speaker 5: Miss Boo Brinker has completed her phone call to Chicago.
- 20:58Speaker 6: And there at an Army base... You heard me, Mitchell.
- 21:01Speaker 6: Those are orders. You mean I have to go, Major Lynn?
- 21:04Speaker 6: Are you kidding? A week's furlough? Home? You don't understand, sir.
- 21:09Speaker 6: My brother's getting married. Well? Well, he's marrying my best girl.
- 21:14Speaker 6: At least she was. Oh. Well, never mind. Home Life
- 21:18Speaker 6: magazine wants you there. Report to a guy at the
- 21:21Speaker 6: Brinker house named Jackson. Yes, sir.
- 21:27Speaker 5: And in the Brinker house, only Boo knows that Jim
- 21:30Speaker 5: is on his way home. Upstairs, Linda Gilman.
- 21:33Speaker 6: Is chatting with the bride-to-be.
- 21:35Speaker 5: While down in the pantry, Carrie Jackson is about to
- 21:38Speaker 5: experience an unexpected sample of Indiana hospitality.
- 21:43Speaker 6: You've got to keep this jug of hit outside, Mr.
- 21:45Speaker 5: Jackson.
- 21:46Speaker 6: Mrs. Brinker's very temperance.
- 21:48Speaker 5: Keeps putting the cork back in.
- 21:51Speaker 6: Oh, I see. I gather that makes a difference, Mr.
- 21:53Speaker 5: Barker.
- 21:54Speaker 6: Well, it don't ferment if you keep the cork in. Uh-huh.
- 21:58Speaker 6: What is it?
- 22:00Speaker 5: Cider.
- 22:01Speaker 6: Apple cider. You devil. Well, here you are, Mr. Jackson.
- 22:13Speaker 5: Hi. Thanks.
- 22:17Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't suppose there's a cafe in town that
- 22:19Speaker 6: would go down and have something really to.
- 22:21Speaker 8: Oh, it smokes.
- 22:34Speaker 6: I guess it's a little strong. That freezing don't leave
- 22:39Speaker 6: much but pure alcohol. Don't light any matches, shall we? Apple, just, uh,
- 22:49Speaker 6: those are just the plain apples, huh? Well, they're, uh,
- 22:55Speaker 6: they're pippins. You know, I, I've, I've, uh, I've bitten
- 23:01Speaker 6: into many an apple, Mr. Franklin, but this is the
- 23:04Speaker 6: first time I've ever had one bite back at me. Well,
- 23:10Speaker 6: how about another little snort, eh? Don't you see? How
- 23:13Speaker 6: could I refuse the idea? Just apples, not just plain
- 23:17Speaker 6: little old apples.
- 23:21Speaker 8: Can I help you unpack or something, Miss Gilman?
- 23:23Speaker 6: Oh, no, thank you very much. Tell me something, Jean.
- 23:26Speaker 8: Are you happy?
- 23:26Speaker 5: Oh, I guess I am. One thing's certain.
- 23:29Speaker 6: I'm not going to be lonely anymore. Lonely?
- 23:32Speaker 5: Oh, I was last summer.
- 23:33Speaker 8: Nobody left in town.
- 23:34Speaker 6: I'll say I was lonely.
- 23:36Speaker 5: Then Bud came along.
- 23:37Speaker 8: And I grabbed him.
- 23:39Speaker 5: Now I'll ask you a question.
- 23:40Speaker 6: Why aren't you married?
- 23:42Speaker 9: Mostly because I wasn't asked.
- 23:43Speaker 6: Why did you ask him? Boo!
- 23:45Speaker 5: Oh, now, really?
- 23:46Speaker 6: Yes, boo, now, really.
- 23:47Speaker 8: You were listening in the hall again. Oh, it's the
- 23:50Speaker 8: only way I ever get to hear anything.
- 23:52Speaker 4: Well, I think I'll change.
- 23:54Speaker 6: Did you press my red dress?
- 23:55Speaker 8: I put it on your bed.
- 23:57Speaker 6: Wasn't Mr.
- 23:58Speaker 7: Jackson the man you didn't ask? Who is interviewing who
- 24:01Speaker 7: around here? Excited about the wedding, boo?
- 24:04Speaker 6: I think it stinks.
- 24:06Speaker 8: You do? Why?
- 24:08Speaker 7: I don't think I'll tell you.
- 24:10Speaker 2: You're being very.
- 24:11Speaker 6: Cryptic, boo.
- 24:12Speaker 8: Don't you like me?
- 24:14Speaker 5: Oh, yes, very much.
- 24:16Speaker 8: You're what I want to be.
- 24:17Speaker 5: Miss Yeoman.
- 24:17Speaker 8: You're so.
- 24:19Speaker 6: You're so short. I am. And you're chic to death.
- 24:24Speaker 8: As for me, well, I stand away from the.
- 24:27Speaker 6: Patterns and make the dresses exactly the way they say.
- 24:30Speaker 6: But something just happens when I get through. Not chic.
- 24:35Speaker 6: I guess it's just me.
- 24:36Speaker 5: Stop, stop, stop.
- 24:37Speaker 9: Well, Carrie and your father seem to be getting along famously.
- 24:40Speaker 6: Just tell me, if you really wanted a man, what
- 24:43Speaker 6: would you do? I think I grabbed him. I wonder
- 24:48Speaker 6: what's going on down there.
- 24:49Speaker 7: Oh, I bet Pop froze it again.
- 24:51Speaker 8: Hmm?
- 24:52Speaker 4: No, nothing.
- 24:53Speaker 6: And thanks for a very interesting conversation. Well, I didn't
- 24:56Speaker 6: understand it all, but.
- 25:06Speaker 1: I'm glad you did.
- 25:09Speaker 6: Your eyes are actually opening, Carrie.
- 25:12Speaker 8: Hmm?
- 25:13Speaker 6: Hmm?
- 25:15Speaker 5: Oh.
- 25:15Speaker 6: Oh, I've been thrown away.
- 25:18Speaker 8: Feeling better?
- 25:21Speaker 6: Where am I? What's all this? We're in a sleigh
- 25:24Speaker 6: on our way home from a barn dance. A barn dance?
- 25:29Speaker 6: Have I been to a barn dance? That you have.
- 25:31Speaker 6: That you have. He had a jug. Mr. Brinker had
- 25:36Speaker 6: a jug. And he claimed he made this stuff out
- 25:38Speaker 6: of apples. Just little green type apples. And time stood still.
- 25:45Speaker 6: I don't remember a thing. There's more I don't want to.
- 25:49Speaker 6: Who are the giddy juveniles?
- 25:53Speaker 5: Oh, they're going home from the barn dance, too, with
- 25:55Speaker 5: a chaperone.
- 25:57Speaker 6: And here's where they all get off. If you want
- 26:02Speaker 6: to get up, Terry, I'll just have to blow you
- 26:04Speaker 6: a kiss. And don't forget Friday.
- 26:06Speaker 5: You promised, Terry.
- 26:08Speaker 6: I did? Oh, sure. All right. Who's that? Sally. Good night, honey.
- 26:17Speaker 6: Good night, honey. I must have had a wonderful time tonight.
- 26:23Speaker 7: Yes, you did.
- 26:24Speaker 8: Wonderful.
- 26:25Speaker 6: Just what kind of a wonderful time did I have? Wonderful.
- 26:30Speaker 6: One by one, you promised every girl in Crestville High
- 26:32Speaker 6: to help her with her homework. Oh, no. It seems
- 26:36Speaker 6: you're an expert on multiplication. And then?
- 26:39Speaker 5: And then you went to sleep. Not a moment too soon.
- 26:43Speaker 6: You look very nice in your sleep, Karen. Very young
- 26:47Speaker 6: and very innocent. Astonishing. You know... You know, you're mellowing. I, uh...
- 26:58Speaker 6: I think I'll help you with your homework right now.
- 27:00Speaker 8: No, no, no, no, no, Terry, no.
- 27:02Speaker 6: Apparently, apparently you've never walked home from a sleigh ride. Well,
- 27:04Speaker 6: I advise against you. You know, the woods, it's bitter cold,
- 27:07Speaker 6: and the woods are teeming with wolves. Oh, well, that
- 27:10Speaker 6: settles it. You know, I'm much too young to die, and, Clyde,
- 27:14Speaker 6: you're very comfortable. Sort of like an old shoe. Gee,
- 27:19Speaker 6: your cheek's cold.
- 27:21Speaker 1: Telling you, I'm about a second.
- 27:24Speaker 6: You know, you know, I'm beginning to like Crestville. All
- 27:29Speaker 6: of a sudden, I kind of think I could settle down, too.
- 27:35Speaker 6: I'd get a job in New York, stay put. I
- 27:39Speaker 6: could even grow roses on Sunday, if that's what you want.
- 27:41Speaker 6: Could you really? No.
- 27:46Speaker 8: Bethany, I.
- 27:49Speaker 6: I guess I'd look pretty silly following you all over Europe.
- 27:51Speaker 5: Carrying your suitcases, respectable two-paces behind, speaking only when spoken to.
- 27:59Speaker 6: We have what I believe referred to as a problem,
- 28:02Speaker 6: don't we? Oh, Carrie, let's not make it a problem.
- 28:04Speaker 6: Let's not even talk about it. Why not? Oh, you'd
- 28:06Speaker 6: be heading for Berlin again, and I'd miss you so. Oh, Linda.
- 28:14Speaker 6: Linda Gilman is not a woman. Good morning. How do
- 28:30Speaker 6: you feel? Wonderful. Hey, you're just in time. How do
- 28:32Speaker 6: you spell idyllic? Do you want me to.
- 28:34Speaker 5: Measure the curtains now?
- 28:37Speaker 8: Not now, Mrs.
- 28:38Speaker 1: Lace.
- 28:38Speaker 6: Why don't you do the living room first?
- 28:40Speaker 9: Already did. Where are.
- 28:43Speaker 6: Making a new drink. That's nice. How's the story going?
- 28:46Speaker 6: It isn't. There are too many characters, I think.
- 28:50Speaker 5: Mrs.
- 28:50Speaker 9: Lace, are you sure you've got the right measurements for
- 28:52Speaker 9: the living room curtains?
- 28:54Speaker 6: All right.
- 28:54Speaker 3: I'll measure them again.
- 28:56Speaker 6: Mind if I read over your shoulder? You can just
- 29:00Speaker 6: call me when you're through with smoothing. You should read
- 29:03Speaker 6: over my shoulder more often. What, uh.
- 29:12Speaker 6: What was that?
- 29:13Speaker 8: Mrs.
- 29:13Speaker 1: Brinker.
- 29:14Speaker 4: Paula's trying to massage ten pounds off of her.
- 29:16Speaker 6: Paula has muscles like a stevedore. When did Paula get here? Oh,
- 29:19Speaker 6: stop arrived a while ago.
- 29:21Speaker 5: I didn't let them serve you.
- 29:22Speaker 6: Hey, Linda, where are you? I thought I was supposed
- 29:23Speaker 6: to take some pictures.
- 29:24Speaker 7: Be with you in a minute, Scott.
- 29:26Speaker 3: I'm supposed to teach Mrs.
- 29:27Speaker 6: Brinker how to make a cheese souffle and other goodies, right? Yeah.
- 29:30Speaker 8: Hiya, Carrie. You seen that stove in there?
- 29:32Speaker 6: That's not a stove. It's a locomotive boiler.
- 29:35Speaker 8: You don't need a cook, Linda. You need Casey Jones.
- 29:38Speaker 6: Well, do the best you can. And where you're finished
- 29:40Speaker 6: in the kitchen, I want you to help me cut
- 29:41Speaker 6: the living room sofa in half. Look, how about sending
- 29:45Speaker 6: Jean down here? I need some vital statistics, you know?
- 29:48Speaker 7: I know.
- 29:49Speaker 6: But Paula will do all the necessary measuring. Okay, I'm
- 29:52Speaker 6: no good. I kill myself. Satisfied?
- 29:54Speaker 8: Jean's taking a bath.
- 29:55Speaker 6: Taking a bath? Well, why don't I just go right up?
- 29:58Speaker 1: Carrie, see who's.
- 29:59Speaker 6: At the door, will you? I'll send the bride down.
- 30:01Speaker 8: When she's through.
- 30:07Speaker 6: Well, who are you? Who are you? I asked first.
- 30:11Speaker 6: I'm Lieutenant Mitchell. I've got orders to report here to Mr. Jackson.
- 30:16Speaker 6: What did you say your name was again? Jim Mitchell,
- 30:20Speaker 6: I'm supposed to... Nobody's home. Everybody's gone. Boo? Boo, where
- 30:27Speaker 6: are you? Boo?
- 30:28Speaker 7: Boo's helping with the wallpaper. Who was at the door?
- 30:32Speaker 6: Go away now. Smallpox, bubonic... Everybody's dead in here.
- 30:41Speaker 5: Well, Sprinker, if we're going to get any place, you've
- 30:43Speaker 5: simply got to stop whistling.
- 30:46Speaker 7: Paul has been really.
- 30:47Speaker 6: Working her over. What's she doing with a hacksaw? What's
- 30:51Speaker 6: that at the door? It's a paddler. I told him
- 30:54Speaker 6: we didn't want any. A paddler?
- 30:56Speaker 1: That's an army officer. What's he selling?
- 30:58Speaker 6: Surplus airplanes. Terry Jackson, you open that door.
- 31:03Speaker 5: Okay.
- 31:03Speaker 8: Well, who are you?
- 31:07Speaker 6: I'm Jim Mitchell. I've got orders to report to a Mr.
- 31:10Speaker 5: Jackson of Home Life Magazine.
- 31:12Speaker 6: This is Mr.
- 31:12Speaker 5: Jackson.
- 31:12Speaker 6: Well, how are you? Howdy-do.
- 31:15Speaker 1: Howdy-do.
- 31:15Speaker 6: I know you must be Bud's brother. How do you do?
- 31:18Speaker 6: I'm Linda Gilman. This is wonderful. It is? The wedding
- 31:22Speaker 6: would not be complete without you, Lieutenant. Linda, I think
- 31:25Speaker 6: maybe there's something you ought to know about this.
- 31:26Speaker 8: Your family and the Briggers make such a delight.
- 31:28Speaker 6: Miss Gilman, excuse me for interrupting, but I've been deliberately
- 31:31Speaker 6: trying to avoid this. It's not him and Jane.
- 31:34Speaker 8: What about them?
- 31:35Speaker 6: Gene.
- 31:36Speaker 8: Well, hello.
- 31:37Speaker 6: Hello.
- 31:38Speaker 1: What are you doing here?
- 31:39Speaker 6: I'm home.
- 31:41Speaker 5: You are?
- 31:41Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 31:42Speaker 1: I thought you were still in Chicago.
- 31:44Speaker 6: No. No, I'm home. These two young people were engaged
- 31:49Speaker 6: at one time.
- 31:50Speaker 8: Harry.
- 31:55Speaker 6: You see, it seemed like a very good idea at
- 31:58Speaker 6: the time, but then I dropped it, definitely. I thought that.
- 32:00Speaker 7: I might have known you'd do something like this.
- 32:02Speaker 6: If we're going to do something about that sofa, I'll
- 32:04Speaker 6: need a saw.
- 32:05Speaker 8: Do you see a saw around here?
- 32:06Speaker 6: I hope you'll be very happy, Jean.
- 32:08Speaker 5: I am already.
- 32:09Speaker 6: I'm delighted to see that you're both intelligent young people.
- 32:12Speaker 5: Oh, you needn't worry, Miss Gilman.
- 32:14Speaker 1: I'm going to be very happy with Bud. He appreciates me.
- 32:17Speaker 5: He wouldn't go off and leave me.
- 32:18Speaker 6: Now, look, I've told you a thousand times, I... And
- 32:20Speaker 6: if you think I'm going to wait until I'm practically
- 32:22Speaker 6: an old maid to get married, you're very much mistaken. Ah,
- 32:25Speaker 6: that's kind of nasty talk we like to hear.
- 32:26Speaker 8: Listen, Mr.
- 32:27Speaker 1: Jackson.
- 32:27Speaker 5: Mr.
- 32:27Speaker 6: Jackson, this is pretty rough. If you don't mind, I'd
- 32:33Speaker 6: like to stay away until after the wedding's over. Anything
- 32:36Speaker 6: you say, old man. Go on, Miss Gilman. Go on, Jean. Yeah.
- 32:42Speaker 6: For a moment there, I thought we were in trouble.
- 32:44Speaker 6: I mean, about the story. I mean, there was no
- 32:46Speaker 6: harm done.
- 32:49Speaker 8: What's the matter with her?
- 32:52Speaker 6: Nothing, nothing. She's just so happy. Jim!
- 32:55Speaker 8: Jim, wait for me!
- 32:57Speaker 6: No harm done. The whole June issue of Home Life
- 33:01Speaker 6: magazine has just gone out that door. Now, wait a
- 33:03Speaker 6: minute before you flip your lid. Now, there's another angle
- 33:06Speaker 6: to this thing. Angle, angle. That's all you think about.
- 33:08Speaker 6: I have five million readers waiting for the wedding of
- 33:10Speaker 6: Jean and Bud, and suddenly all I have left is
- 33:13Speaker 6: an angle. What are you going to do?
- 33:14Speaker 3: Try and persuade those two to be sensible, and I'd
- 33:17Speaker 3: better succeed, if you.
- 33:19Speaker 6: Know what I mean. Yay!
- 33:21Speaker 5: Yay!
- 33:29Speaker 6: The dining room chandelier down, Linda. What'll I do with it?
- 33:31Speaker 3: Oh, later, Scotty, later.
- 33:33Speaker 6: Why haven't we heard from Kieran? He's probably dead. Why
- 33:36Speaker 6: don't you turn your motor off for a while, Madam Editor?
- 33:38Speaker 5: It's been going like this for three days now, ever since.
- 33:41Speaker 6: The kids walked out and disappeared.
- 33:43Speaker 7: I should never have spent Kieran.
- 33:44Speaker 6: I should have kept on looking for him myself.
- 33:47Speaker 9: In less than 24 hours, a wedding's supposed to.
- 33:49Speaker 8: Take place in this house, in this room.
- 33:51Speaker 6: Well, what are we going to tell Mama? She's not sufficient.
- 33:55Speaker 5: Oh, no, no.
- 33:56Speaker 6: She still thinks that Jean went to visit her aunt
- 33:57Speaker 6: in Fort Wayne. But when Jean doesn't show up for
- 34:00Speaker 6: the wedding... It's me. It's me.
- 34:03Speaker 8: Um, anything wrong, Mrs.
- 34:05Speaker 6: Brinker? I just wanted to ask if I could please
- 34:07Speaker 6: have a cup of tea.
- 34:08Speaker 1: Oh, now, now, Mrs.
- 34:09Speaker 6: Brinker. We've spent all week drying you out. You must
- 34:13Speaker 6: be so proud of you. Oh, Whitman says he doesn't
- 34:15Speaker 6: care if I'm cheap or not, just as long as
- 34:17Speaker 6: I've stopped screaming. Well, I think I'll just sit down.
- 34:23Speaker 9: Hold it, Mrs.
- 34:23Speaker 1: Brinker.
- 34:24Speaker 6: I'd better get some of the pins out of that
- 34:26Speaker 6: dress first.
- 34:27Speaker 1: Oh, my, all that sawing and pounding.
- 34:29Speaker 6: They didn't really cut off the front porch, did they? No, no,
- 34:32Speaker 6: it's not as bad as that.
- 34:34Speaker 8: We just took off some of the scroll work.
- 34:35Speaker 6: Oh, I'm glad that's.
- 34:36Speaker 1: The only thing I wouldn't want.
- 34:38Speaker 6: Linda, there's somebody here to see you at the back door.
- 34:40Speaker 8: See who it is, will you, Paula?
- 34:42Speaker 5: I think you'd better come, Linda.
- 34:44Speaker 7: Mr.
- 34:44Speaker 8: Jackson, he's come back.
- 34:45Speaker 7: Carrie!
- 34:48Speaker 6: I'd better close the door, Linda. Well, found her, all right.
- 34:52Speaker 6: Jean Jim Mitchell. Where are they? Indianapolis.
- 34:54Speaker 7: What are they doing there?
- 34:55Speaker 6: Well, the last time I saw them, they were necking. Oh,
- 34:56Speaker 6: don't be funny, Terry. Why didn't you stay with them? Oh,
- 35:00Speaker 6: I fell a little out of place on the honeymoon. See,
- 35:03Speaker 6: they're married.
- 35:05Speaker 8: Married?
- 35:07Speaker 6: Well, does it? All right, Terry, you'd better go inside
- 35:11Speaker 6: and tell Mrs. Brinker. Well, you're not going through with
- 35:13Speaker 6: the story? There's no story now, obviously.
- 35:15Speaker 5: Well.
- 35:16Speaker 6: I leave tomorrow afternoon to a quickie in New York.
- 35:19Speaker 6: I can't leave this house in a mess. Oh, wait
- 35:21Speaker 6: a minute. Before you give up. Now, I started this
- 35:24Speaker 6: thing for a particular reason.
- 35:25Speaker 8: I am trying to be very patient with you, Carrie.
- 35:28Speaker 6: Now, don't you think you're just taking this thing a
- 35:30Speaker 6: little too seriously?
- 35:30Speaker 8: Seriously?
- 35:31Speaker 6: I'm two days away from my deadline. We've already plated
- 35:34Speaker 6: up over six pages of pictures, a thousand words of copy,
- 35:37Speaker 6: and here I am without a story. You've got the
- 35:38Speaker 6: best story of your life, a real story about human beings.
- 35:42Speaker 6: It isn't finished yet. But if you're girding up your
- 35:44Speaker 6: loins to fire me, go ahead, get it over with.
- 35:46Speaker 6: That's your usual reaction to a crisis, isn't it? Simply
- 35:50Speaker 6: walk away and let someone else clean up the mess
- 35:52Speaker 6: you've made. I'm just trying to get out from underneath
- 35:55Speaker 6: of this labor versus management relationship of ours. Every time
- 35:59Speaker 6: I get affectionate with you, I feel as though I'm
- 36:01Speaker 6: snuggling up to the path hardly built. What? Yes, you
- 36:06Speaker 6: needn't be troubled by it any longer.
- 36:07Speaker 1: You are fired.
- 36:08Speaker 6: Okay, now, what about us?
- 36:10Speaker 5: Everything is finished here, Carrie, including us.
- 36:13Speaker 6: Very easy for you, isn't it? A little soft music,
- 36:16Speaker 6: a kiss or two, a wave of the hand, exit
- 36:17Speaker 6: Carrie Jackson. Well, I feel so sorry for you, and
- 36:20Speaker 6: you're so sweet and so patient and so utterly dependable.
- 36:23Speaker 8: And here I am being cruel to you on a
- 36:25Speaker 8: flimsy pretext.
- 36:26Speaker 6: You've just ruined everything we've done here. Oh, don't give
- 36:29Speaker 6: me that. You're not firing me because Jean Brinker ran
- 36:32Speaker 6: off with a man that she should have married in
- 36:33Speaker 6: the first place. It's because you're madly in love with me,
- 36:36Speaker 6: and to you that's a sign of weakness.
- 36:38Speaker 5: You are incredible.
- 36:40Speaker 6: Absolutely incredible. Perched up on that pinnacle of masculine ego,
- 36:44Speaker 6: looking down at four.
- 36:45Speaker 8: Weak, defenseless females.
- 36:47Speaker 6: And pitying them because they don't have beards. If you
- 36:50Speaker 6: had a beard, I wouldn't look at you twice. Very amusing.
- 36:54Speaker 6: Very amusing.
- 36:55Speaker 5: And a typical male reaction to intellectual defeat.
- 36:58Speaker 6: Me? Intellectually defeated?
- 37:00Speaker 4: Of course.
- 37:01Speaker 5: I run that attitude before every woman does the minute.
- 37:03Speaker 6: She starts to make a career for herself. Get back
- 37:06Speaker 6: to the kitchen, mother.
- 37:07Speaker 1: It's a man's world.
- 37:08Speaker 6: All I want to do is to find out where
- 37:10Speaker 6: I stand with you. And all of a sudden, I'm
- 37:12Speaker 6: knee-deep in the battle of the sexes. What is this?
- 37:16Speaker 2: Carrie, right from the beginning, you have refused to follow
- 37:19Speaker 2: instructions because I am a woman and not to be
- 37:21Speaker 2: taken seriously.
- 37:22Speaker 9: This whole trip has been one big hilarious joke to you.
- 37:25Speaker 6: Laughing gaily all the while, you've deliberately ruined the story
- 37:29Speaker 6: we set out to do. You've got a darn good
- 37:31Speaker 6: story right here, only you're so mad you can't see it.
- 37:34Speaker 6: Maybe I have been a little flippant, but that's the
- 37:36Speaker 6: way I am. I can't go around bleeding from every
- 37:38Speaker 6: pore just because things don't go right.
- 37:41Speaker 1: Well, as always, Berlin, isn't that?
- 37:42Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah.
- 37:45Speaker 6: I only took this job because, poor deluded dope that
- 37:49Speaker 6: I am, I meant a great deal to me to
- 37:52Speaker 6: be near you again. You have faith. Whatever else was
- 37:56Speaker 6: wrong with you, you used to be honest. I came
- 37:59Speaker 6: back looking for you. All right, the next time you
- 38:01Speaker 6: look for me. And one more thing.
- 38:03Speaker 1: What?
- 38:04Speaker 6: Give me back my cigar. Mr. Keely again.
- 38:22Speaker 5: The curtain rises on the third act of June Bride,
- 38:25Speaker 5: starring Betty Davis as Linda Gilman and James Stewart as
- 38:29Speaker 5: Carrie Jackson. Linda Gilman's June Bride has turned into a
- 38:39Speaker 5: January Bride, thanks, she believes, to Carrie Jackson. And her
- 38:44Speaker 5: own romance with the ex-foreign correspondent is as cold as
- 38:48Speaker 5: the Indiana countryside. In this moment of despair, Carrie.
- 38:52Speaker 6: Has a visitor.
- 38:53Speaker 5: The little fixer-upper, Boo Blinker.
- 38:57Speaker 6: Do me a favor, Boo. Don't ever be a woman.
- 39:00Speaker 6: You're still mad at me, aren't you? And Linda still
- 39:03Speaker 6: thinks it was you who brought Jim Mitchell back. Well,
- 39:05Speaker 6: it doesn't matter. Don't worry about me. So I'm not
- 39:08Speaker 6: worried about you. It's what I've done to Bud.
- 39:12Speaker 5: Coming over.
- 39:13Speaker 6: You told him about Jane? What'd he say? He said, huh. Oh,
- 39:18Speaker 6: I see. Well, evidently... Wasn't much of a blow to him, then,
- 39:22Speaker 6: was it? Oh, it was. I can tell from the
- 39:24Speaker 6: way he said it. Oh, you're really in love with Bud,
- 39:27Speaker 6: aren't you?
- 39:28Speaker 1: Oh, but he.
- 39:28Speaker 6: Doesn't like me. Well, what makes you so sure?
- 39:31Speaker 8: Oh, I can tell.
- 39:32Speaker 6: How?
- 39:33Speaker 8: The way he breathes.
- 39:34Speaker 6: The way he breathes. I don't get it. Well, when
- 39:39Speaker 6: he's around you, he always breathes like this. Uh-huh, uh-huh.
- 39:46Speaker 7: But when he's around me.
- 39:49Speaker 8: He doesn't need it at all.
- 39:54Speaker 6: Well, do you know why? Because he doesn't really think
- 39:56Speaker 6: of you as an attractive woman. Why not? Well, I
- 40:01Speaker 6: haven't the faintest idea. If we could only make Bud jealous.
- 40:06Speaker 6: If we could make him think that somebody, me for instance,
- 40:08Speaker 6: was madly in love with you.
- 40:10Speaker 5: If only.
- 40:11Speaker 6: Look.
- 40:12Speaker 5: Look.
- 40:13Speaker 6: Look, go upstairs and tell Paula to give you that
- 40:15Speaker 6: honeymoon dress that Jean was going to wear. Put it on. Oh,
- 40:19Speaker 6: I can't.
- 40:19Speaker 8: Bud's coming over.
- 40:20Speaker 6: That's just the point. Now, hurry. I'll keep him occupied
- 40:22Speaker 6: until you're ready to come down. Where is she? Where's who?
- 40:31Speaker 6: What's she want? Sit down, Bud. Here, have a chair.
- 40:35Speaker 6: Have half a sofa.
- 40:37Speaker 1: Bud?
- 40:39Speaker 6: The minute I saw you, I said to myself, I said,
- 40:42Speaker 6: now there's a man of the world.
- 40:43Speaker 8: You did?
- 40:45Speaker 6: Yes. Yes. Naturally, when all this happened with Gene, I
- 40:49Speaker 6: knew that you'd take it well. I'm trying to, Mr. Jackson.
- 40:54Speaker 6: I'm glad we had this chance to get together and talk,
- 40:56Speaker 6: old man. I wanted to ask your advice on something. Yeah?
- 41:03Speaker 6: It's about booze. Booze? Booze. Do you think that Boo
- 41:11Speaker 6: could be interested in a man like me? Huh? I
- 41:17Speaker 6: refer to marriage, of course. Boo? Boo. See, since I've
- 41:26Speaker 6: been here, I've become very fond of her.
- 41:31Speaker 7: Boo?
- 41:32Speaker 8: Boo?
- 41:35Speaker 6: I must say I admire your ability to carry on
- 41:38Speaker 6: a conversation with a very.
- 41:41Speaker 1: Few simple little words.
- 41:44Speaker 6: Well, a lot's happened to me today, Mr.
- 41:46Speaker 5: Jackson.
- 41:46Speaker 6: I just can't seem to catch up. Let me get
- 41:49Speaker 6: this straight. You want to marry Boo? If she'll have me.
- 41:53Speaker 6: But you're too old for her.
- 41:54Speaker 8: She's just a kid.
- 41:57Speaker 6: Boo's blossoming. She's very... She's becoming a very attractive woman.
- 42:02Speaker 6: I don't know whether you've noticed. Oh, that isn't the point.
- 42:05Speaker 6: You just don't think of Boo as anybody's wife. I do.
- 42:09Speaker 6: I can steer in a wedding dress right now. As
- 42:11Speaker 6: a matter of fact, I can.
- 42:12Speaker 5: Oh!
- 42:13Speaker 6: Oh, Boo! Well, well, how nice you look.
- 42:17Speaker 8: Thank you.
- 42:18Speaker 6: Yeah, as well. I can't tell you how sorry I am, Bud,
- 42:22Speaker 6: about Jean. Oh, forget it. You have such a noble character.
- 42:31Speaker 8: You're right, Mr.
- 42:32Speaker 7: Johnson.
- 42:33Speaker 8: You're the only man I know.
- 42:34Speaker 1: That treats me like a woman.
- 42:35Speaker 6: Well, that's because I know that you have the makings
- 42:38Speaker 6: of a first-class wife. Hey, now wait a minute. What's
- 42:41Speaker 6: on your mind, Bud? You take your hands off her.
- 42:43Speaker 6: She's not your kind of girl. Oh, what kind of
- 42:45Speaker 6: girl is she? I've watched Boo ever since she could walk.
- 42:47Speaker 6: She doesn't need you. Well, there's still a free country,
- 42:49Speaker 6: you know. Still a free country. How about a little kiss, baby?
- 42:53Speaker 8: What?
- 42:56Speaker 6: Oh, what a woman. I'll be seeing you, Bud. What's
- 43:02Speaker 6: been going on with you and him anyhow? Does your
- 43:04Speaker 6: father know that a man that's practically old enough to
- 43:06Speaker 6: be your mother is making passes at.
- 43:10Speaker 8: You?
- 43:10Speaker 6: You suggest me all the time.
- 43:12Speaker 1: And he says the most exciting things.
- 43:14Speaker 6: Now, you listen to me, boo-brinker. I don't like what's
- 43:16Speaker 6: been going around and around, and I don't like... What's
- 43:19Speaker 6: the matter? It's... It's you. You look different.
- 43:24Speaker 5: I do?
- 43:25Speaker 8: I mean, do I?
- 43:27Speaker 6: Yeah, a little bit of Zoya. Kind of. Yeah, you
- 43:33Speaker 6: sure do.
- 43:34Speaker 5: Huh?
- 43:36Speaker 6: You're blossoming. You're becoming a very attractive girl.
- 43:42Speaker 1: I am?
- 43:44Speaker 8: Were you going to say something else?
- 43:46Speaker 6: No.
- 43:47Speaker 5: Oh.
- 43:49Speaker 8: Hey, uh, how come you're leaning on me?
- 43:51Speaker 6: Your back tired? I beg your pardon. Beg my pardon?
- 43:58Speaker 5: Ooh, uh, do you like me as much as Mr.
- 44:00Speaker 6: Jackson?
- 44:01Speaker 1: More.
- 44:01Speaker 8: More.
- 44:03Speaker 6: Huh? I guess I always have.
- 44:05Speaker 1: They're so strong.
- 44:07Speaker 6: I love strong men. They're so.
- 44:10Speaker 1: strong.
- 44:15Speaker 6: Boo, I know I'm not much, but we've always gotten
- 44:19Speaker 6: along so well together and everything.
- 44:20Speaker 9: Yes?
- 44:22Speaker 6: Well, what I want to ask you is to marry.
- 44:26Speaker 8: Marry you?
- 44:27Speaker 6: Yeah, now, right away. Only after what's happened, after Gene
- 44:31Speaker 6: and all... I don't blame you for saying no. Well,
- 44:34Speaker 6: who said no? You mean you.
- 44:38Speaker 5: Oh, swell.
- 44:40Speaker 8: Swell!
- 44:42Speaker 6: Oh, what goes on?
- 44:44Speaker 8: Linda, we.
- 44:45Speaker 1: We're going to get married.
- 44:47Speaker 6: Yeah, and right away. If other people can get married,
- 44:50Speaker 6: so can other people.
- 44:51Speaker 9: Married?
- 44:53Speaker 8: Married you are?
- 44:54Speaker 6: You won't change your mind? Stay right here. Don't go away.
- 44:58Speaker 9: For heaven's sake, don't move.
- 45:00Speaker 6: Paul or Scott Rosemary, come here quickly.
- 45:02Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 45:02Speaker 8: Scott, unpack everything.
- 45:03Speaker 6: Set up your cameras, Paul and Rosemary. You ought to
- 45:05Speaker 6: help me tell Mrs.
- 45:06Speaker 8: Brinker.
- 45:06Speaker 6: What happened? The wedding is going to take.
- 45:08Speaker 5: Place right on schedule, except.
- 45:10Speaker 9: That the bride is booed.
- 45:11Speaker 8: And who's the lucky man?
- 45:12Speaker 6: Not that it matters. Behold, the bridegroom cometh.
- 45:16Speaker 5: Him?
- 45:24Speaker 6: Carrie, may I come in? Now, if you're concerned with
- 45:26Speaker 6: the fact that I'm still in the house here, I... Oh, no, no, no.
- 45:29Speaker 8: Don't be silly.
- 45:29Speaker 6: We're going through with our plans. There's going to be
- 45:31Speaker 6: a wedding after all. Father's going to marry Boo. Boo? Boo. Boo?
- 45:36Speaker 6: I thought you'd be surprised. I'm astounded. I'm astounded. Yeah,
- 45:40Speaker 6: so we can go back to work then. Well, you
- 45:41Speaker 6: fired me.
- 45:42Speaker 8: I'm unfiring you.
- 45:43Speaker 6: Why? Oh, for heaven's sake, Carrie. We have a wedding
- 45:45Speaker 6: to run off and not very much time to do
- 45:46Speaker 6: it in. Well, I just can't get another writer at
- 45:49Speaker 6: this late date. Here, this for you, the story. Oh,
- 45:52Speaker 6: but carry on if this is.
- 45:53Speaker 8: Any good now.
- 45:54Speaker 6: We have to get completely new material. How Brad and
- 45:57Speaker 6: Boo grew up together. How they discovered each other only
- 46:01Speaker 6: because we came into their lives.
- 46:02Speaker 7: That's the lead.
- 46:03Speaker 6: Sound all right? Yeah, very good. Get started on it
- 46:05Speaker 6: right away. It'll be here when you want it.
- 46:14Speaker 5: Oh, my little boo getting married.
- 46:16Speaker 9: I'm so nervous.
- 46:18Speaker 6: Now, now, before you go downstairs and spring up, I
- 46:20Speaker 6: want you to be sure you know just what to do.
- 46:22Speaker 6: We're going to take pictures all during the ceremony, but
- 46:24Speaker 6: don't let that bother you.
- 46:25Speaker 5: Just be natural.
- 46:26Speaker 1: Are you sure I look all right?
- 46:28Speaker 6: Boo, you look lovely. the wedding march. You're up to
- 46:35Speaker 6: you to go down.
- 46:36Speaker 1: Don't cry, Mama.
- 46:38Speaker 6: I'm just getting married. Boo, after the ceremony, remember that you.
- 46:42Speaker 1: And Brad are in the reception line.
- 46:43Speaker 8: Oh, we'll be there.
- 46:44Speaker 6: And just be sure to speak all the names loudly
- 46:46Speaker 6: and clearly so that Mr. Jackson can take them down
- 46:48Speaker 6: for the picture caption.
- 46:49Speaker 5: Mr.
- 46:49Speaker 6: Jackson?
- 46:50Speaker 8: But he isn't here. What do you mean? I guess
- 46:53Speaker 8: you've been too busy to notice.
- 46:55Speaker 6: He left last night. That? He even called me from
- 46:59Speaker 6: New York this morning to wish me good luck.
- 47:02Speaker 8: You didn't know?
- 47:04Speaker 1: No. Well, uh.
- 47:05Speaker 6: Well, this is hardly your problem, Boo. Good luck to you.
- 47:08Speaker 6: Take her downstairs, Mr. Brinkman. Hold it, Madam Minister. I
- 47:11Speaker 6: want a picture of you.
- 47:12Speaker 9: Oh, Boo, get downstairs.
- 47:13Speaker 6: Stop where you belong. What's the matter with you?
- 47:15Speaker 5: Terry's left.
- 47:15Speaker 6: Walked out without finishing the story. Where did he go?
- 47:18Speaker 7: New York.
- 47:18Speaker 6: Let's face it. We haven't any story.
- 47:20Speaker 1: But he left the copy.
- 47:21Speaker 6: I have it right here. Let's see old stuff on you.
- 47:23Speaker 6: But I just read it.
- 47:24Speaker 9: It's all about Boo.
- 47:25Speaker 1: About who?
- 47:26Speaker 6: Let me see.
- 47:30Speaker 5: Then he knew all the time before I did.
- 47:34Speaker 1: This is the whole story.
- 47:36Speaker 6: I don't get it.
- 47:38Speaker 7: Oh, it's very simple.
- 47:40Speaker 8: Terribly simple.
- 47:42Speaker 6: I've been an absolute idiot. Well, if you're looking for
- 47:46Speaker 6: an argument, you'd better pick another subject. Well, we don't
- 47:49Speaker 6: want to miss Boo's wedding.
- 47:50Speaker 1: Marlinda, you're crying.
- 47:54Speaker 6: I'm not crying. You're digging apart. Oh, by all means,
- 47:58Speaker 6: keep your dignity, Madam Editor. Personally, on these cold, wintry nights,
- 48:02Speaker 6: I like a nice, warm back to put my feet on.
- 48:04Speaker 6: Shall we go down?
- 48:05Speaker 9: Yes.
- 48:15Speaker 1: Well, Linda, I guess this finishes it, hmm?
- 48:17Speaker 5: The June issue, all ready to go to press.
- 48:19Speaker 6: Any idea what we'll do for July? Hmm, something rare,
- 48:22Speaker 6: rich and novel. Probably with firecrackers in it. Same writer? Oh,
- 48:25Speaker 6: by the way, he called my office this afternoon. What, uh,
- 48:28Speaker 6: what was he calling about? His check.
- 48:31Speaker 5: Oh.
- 48:32Speaker 6: Well, I'll be inside with the boss.
- 48:35Speaker 3: Linda, come in.
- 48:36Speaker 6: What is that untidy object you're clutching?
- 48:38Speaker 5: Our June issue calls a dummy copier.
- 48:41Speaker 6: I need your okay.
- 48:42Speaker 9: Before it goes to the principal.
- 48:43Speaker 5: Sit down.
- 48:44Speaker 6: Carson, you, uh, you have.
- 48:46Speaker 7: Three months in which to find a new editor for
- 48:49Speaker 7: Home Life.
- 48:50Speaker 6: Which I need you.
- 48:50Speaker 8: Mm-hmm.
- 48:52Speaker 6: Oh, well, if you've had a better offer.
- 48:53Speaker 5: I'm sure.
- 48:53Speaker 6: No, no, it's just that I, well, I'm tired of
- 48:56Speaker 6: being a brick wall colored with roses. Not on it.
- 48:59Speaker 6: Lavender and old lace for Linda Gilman.
- 49:01Speaker 5: With slippers and a pipe for Carrie Jackson? Mm.
- 49:03Speaker 7: So I can find it.
- 49:06Speaker 6: I take it he's not aware of the, uh, the, uh,
- 49:08Speaker 6: bliss in store for him. No. You see me?
- 49:12Speaker 5: Mm-hmm.
- 49:13Speaker 8: He's been in constantly.
- 49:15Speaker 5: Personally, I think he's just been waiting for you to
- 49:18Speaker 5: come back.
- 49:18Speaker 6: Oh, yes, I can imagine. Well, why don't you ask him?
- 49:21Speaker 6: Go on, open that door.
- 49:23Speaker 8: Are you going to tell me that.
- 49:25Speaker 6: Then I'll open the door. Hi.
- 49:30Speaker 5: Cary. Yeah? I'm terribly sorry, Cary. I was all wrong
- 49:37Speaker 5: about you.
- 49:38Speaker 6: You always have been. I only have two more issues
- 49:42Speaker 6: to get out. I'll be... I'll be free after that.
- 49:46Speaker 6: You need a rest. I... I was thinking maybe next
- 49:50Speaker 6: month we do the story of Gene and Jim, the
- 49:53Speaker 6: newlyweds in Chicago. Have a good time.
- 49:56Speaker 8: No, no, I meant all of it.
- 49:57Speaker 6: No. No, not me.
- 50:00Speaker 8: No.
- 50:02Speaker 6: You're doing something else. I'm leaving. As a matter of fact,
- 50:05Speaker 6: I just stopped in now to say goodbye to Carl
- 50:07Speaker 6: and see my suitcases. No. It's a beautiful wedding here.
- 50:13Speaker 6: Everyone was very happy.
- 50:14Speaker 4: Except me.
- 50:17Speaker 1: I cried.
- 50:19Speaker 6: I cried for a long time.
- 50:22Speaker 7: I haven't done that in years.
- 50:25Speaker 6: Hey, Pevis. Oh, Carrie, don't, don't make jokes. Don't shut
- 50:31Speaker 6: me out. Well, what do you expect? You've had me
- 50:33Speaker 6: on a merry-go-round all week. Go away, Carrie. Come back, Carrie.
- 50:37Speaker 6: I never knew whether you were going to kiss me
- 50:38Speaker 6: or kick me. Well, you want me to tell you? No, now,
- 50:44Speaker 6: don't get provocative. And stop turning off the light. We've
- 50:49Speaker 6: been through all that. Oh, Carrie, you know very well
- 50:52Speaker 6: we're perfectly mated. After all, we're of opposite sexes. Roses
- 51:01Speaker 6: on Sunday versus carrying these suitcases all over Europe. It's
- 51:04Speaker 6: become a very simple old-fashioned question of who wears the pants.
- 51:08Speaker 6: I'd look pretty silly without them. Carrie, Carrie, wait. Well?
- 51:13Speaker 6: You are... You forgot your suitcases. I....
- 51:19Speaker 8: I carried them. Where to?
- 51:22Speaker 6: Berlin? Uh-huh. Afghanistan?
- 51:25Speaker 1: Uh-huh. The Luchas fans?
- 51:28Speaker 8: Uh-huh.
- 51:28Speaker 6: Madagascar?
- 51:30Speaker 8: Uh-huh. Anywhere.
- 51:31Speaker 6: Say it.
- 51:33Speaker 1: Before I start the gentleman's written call.
- 51:41Speaker 7: I'd like to make a suggestion to the ladies.
- 51:46Speaker 5: Wonderful opening night in the Lux Radio Theater. And here
- 51:51Speaker 5: are the two stars who made it so.
- 51:54Speaker 9: Betty Davis and James Gilbert.
- 52:05Speaker 6: Thank you, Bill. I think it's rather fitting that June
- 52:08Speaker 6: Bride should mark the first public appearance of the famous
- 52:11Speaker 6: August bridegroom, Jimmy Stewart.
- 52:14Speaker 5: Yes, you have our congratulations and very best wishes, Jimmy.
- 52:18Speaker 5: And naturally, this makes an important change in your status
- 52:22Speaker 5: with the Luck Radio Theater.
- 52:23Speaker 6: Yes, I've been looking forward to that, Bill. It's a
- 52:28Speaker 6: really wonderful tradition you have.
- 52:30Speaker 8: What is all this?
- 52:32Speaker 6: Uh, well, now that I'm a married man, I, uh,
- 52:37Speaker 6: I get lots of flights to take home.
- 52:39Speaker 1: Yes, and married women.
- 52:52Speaker 9: Also qualify for this. We're sending some along for your home, too. Incidentally,
- 53:00Speaker 9: I've heard some wonderful reports at Warner Brothers about your
- 53:03Speaker 9: new picture, Beyond the Forest.
- 53:04Speaker 6: Thank you.
- 53:05Speaker 5: And now I suppose you're planning a vacation.
- 53:07Speaker 6: Another picture as soon as I find a script. In
- 53:09Speaker 6: the meantime, I'm indulging in the beach at Laguna.
- 53:13Speaker 5: Well, if you notice a hollow in the sand, that's
- 53:15Speaker 5: where I've been lying all summer.
- 53:17Speaker 6: Well, I hope you spent some time getting shows lined
- 53:19Speaker 6: up for the fall, Bill.
- 53:20Speaker 5: Yes, some attractions I know our audience will like. There's
- 53:24Speaker 5: one next week. It's Paramount's exciting hit, Saigon.
- 53:28Speaker 6: And starring in.
- 53:29Speaker 5: It, we'll have John Lung and Elizabeth Scott. This is
- 53:33Speaker 5: a rapid-fire drama of adventure.
- 53:35Speaker 6: In the Far East.
- 53:36Speaker 5: A full order of thrills and chills toward next Monday night.
- 53:40Speaker 8: I know you'll have a wonderful season in the Lux
- 53:42Speaker 8: Radio Theater, Bill.
- 53:43Speaker 5: Good night.
- 53:43Speaker 6: Good night.
- 53:44Speaker 8: Good night, and thank you both.
- 53:54Speaker 9: My ears?
- 53:55Speaker 5: Best piece of music equipment I own. They've been with
- 53:59Speaker 5: me through everything.
- 54:20Speaker 2: Even the 90s. Back when you'd hear about parties from
- 54:23Speaker 2: photocopied flyers. Before outdoor raves moved indoors. And now, the
- 54:28Speaker 2: music's changed. But I wanted to make sure my ears hadn't.
- 54:31Speaker 2: So I did the free online hearing screener from Specsavers.
- 54:34Speaker 2: And got on the test list. Only took three minutes.
- 54:37Speaker 2: It's like my own little sound check. Try Specsavers free
- 54:40Speaker 2: online hearing screener. Visit the website to find out more.
- 54:43Speaker 2: Hearing screener is not a diagnosis.
- 54:46Speaker 3: The car is beautiful. Where did you end up going
- 54:49Speaker 3: for it?
- 54:49Speaker 4: This exclusive place that Dad has connections with. They have
- 54:52Speaker 4: more cars for more dealerships than like anywhere else.
- 54:55Speaker 3: You have to put me in touch. What's it called?
- 54:57Speaker 3: It's Dune ADL. Where? Dune ADL. There's an accent on
- 55:03Speaker 3: the E. Do you mean.
- 55:05Speaker 4: Yes, I got it on Dundale Cars.
- 55:07Speaker 6: Lift? Please.
- 55:08Speaker 3: Are you going past Kimmage?
- 55:10Speaker 5: Oh, Kimmage. No.
- 55:12Speaker 4: Dundale Cars. You couldn't possibly go anywhere else.
