- 4:13Speaker 4: And I want a thousand bucks apiece from you guys

- 4:44Speaker 4: waiting till I got a big bankroll to bet on him.
- 4:46Speaker 4: So for now, I'll just take a grand from each
- 4:48Speaker 4: of you. And the next time out, Dreamy Joe loses.

- 5:04Speaker 8: I hear different. I hear tell you are a very
- 5:07Speaker 8: thrifty character.
- 5:08Speaker 6: Oh, now, I'm just a little careful.

- 5:28Speaker 5: to me?
- 5:28Speaker 7: Just going into the vault.

- 6:25Speaker 5: have to open a branch mattress. All right, who's next?
- 6:27Speaker 5: Come on, boys, put something in the pot.
- 6:29Speaker 4: $ 20 on Dreamy Joe to win.

- 6:38Speaker 5: and children.
- 6:39Speaker 4: But I just don't have it at the moment.

- 6:43Speaker 5: come back. Some nerve. Hey, little girl, what are you
- 6:45Speaker 5: doing here?

- 7:15Speaker 3: Let's go, Daddy. I remember him in that book you read.
- 7:18Speaker 3: He is a monster.
- 7:21Speaker 5: Monster? There's a little bit of Crosby in you, kid. Now,
- 7:26Speaker 5: watch yourself. I run this joint. I got plenty of
- 7:28Speaker 5: friends on my side.
- 7:29Speaker 3: I'm sorry.
- 7:31Speaker 5: Yeah, well... Okay, then. Here. Here's a penny.
- 7:38Speaker 3: But even Nickers cost two pennies.

- 7:46Speaker 5: That's all right. The kid's right.
- 7:47Speaker 9: Here.
- 7:48Speaker 5: Here's two cents. Go stuff yourself.
- 7:50Speaker 3: Oh, thank you very much.

- 7:54Speaker 4: I know he'll let me have the 20.
- 7:54Speaker 5: Yeah, well, hurry down.
- 7:56Speaker 9: Well, if you could let me place my bet.
- 7:57Speaker 5: Now, I.

- 8:04Speaker 5: take his marker, regret.
- 8:05Speaker 4: Well, be a good girl, Martha Jane.
- 8:07Speaker 5: I'll be right back.
- 8:08Speaker 6: What happened, boss? I didn't see him pull no gun
- 8:10Speaker 6: on you.
- 8:11Speaker 5: Don't you understand? Dreamy Joe, he can't possibly win. It's
- 8:13Speaker 5: a frame-up, a fix.
- 8:15Speaker 6: A boat race?
- 8:15Speaker 5: And Dreamy Joe is on the slowest boat, as jockey
- 8:17Speaker 5: as Grandma Moses. Not only that, they're going to slip
- 8:20Speaker 5: the horse uphill.
- 8:22Speaker 6: How's that going to make him lose?
- 8:23Speaker 5: It's a four-way code tablet. He won't know which way
- 8:25Speaker 5: to run. Okay, fellas, step right up and place your bets.
- 8:29Speaker 5: That Dreamy Joe looks awfully good.
- 8:30Speaker 4: No problem, fellas.
- 8:31Speaker 2: One at a time.
- 8:39Speaker 7: That's right, Steve.
- 8:40Speaker 8: I find this guy right outside the office door.
- 8:42Speaker 7: He listened to what you say. Steve, please.
- 8:45Speaker 4: I didn't mean to listen. I came here hoping you'd
- 8:47Speaker 4: loan me $ 20. What did you hear?
- 8:49Speaker 7: Honest, Steve, I don't... He says, what did you hear?
- 8:52Speaker 7: You know what I heard.
- 8:54Speaker 4: Talking about the race, weren't you?
- 8:55Speaker 7: You fixed it so Dreamy Joe can't win.
- 8:57Speaker 4: And what are you going to do about it?
- 8:58Speaker 7: I've ruined my life on horses.
- 9:00Speaker 4: I'm washed up, broke.
- 9:01Speaker 5: But there's one thing I can still do.
- 9:03Speaker 4: I'm getting out of here, and I'm going to the police.
- 9:05Speaker 7: You're going where? Seems to me he mentions the law.
- 9:08Speaker 5: If it's the last thing I do, I'm going to
- 9:09Speaker 5: see the guys like you.
- 9:10Speaker 7: We better get rid of him, boys, for good.
- 9:16Speaker 4: Yeah. I'll get the car, meet you around back.
- 9:21Speaker 3: All right.
- 9:22Speaker 4: They're passing across the line of finish now with Green
- 9:24Speaker 4: Demon winning it by two lengths.
- 9:25Speaker 3: Furthest champ is second, Bingo is third, and Dreamy Joe
- 9:28Speaker 3: is fourth.
- 9:29Speaker 4: Well, that's it, boys. Too bad, eh?
- 9:33Speaker 13: Okay, sir, before you can take your fingers out.
- 9:35Speaker 3: Of your ears.
- 9:36Speaker 12: Huh?
- 9:37Speaker 6: You was right. Dreamy Joe lost.
- 9:39Speaker 5: Oh, how about that? The last thing I heard, he
- 9:41Speaker 5: was out in front. What was that crook jockey trying
- 9:43Speaker 5: to do, win? Oh, I got to get out of
- 9:46Speaker 5: this racket, Regret. This is too much of a strain.
- 9:48Speaker 5: I wonder if it's too late to get into television.
- 9:50Speaker 6: You've had a big day, boys. $ 4, 200. $ 4, 200.
- 9:53Speaker 5: Boy, I feel better already. Maybe if we could plant
- 9:57Speaker 5: a little of this, we could grow a money tree, huh?
- 10:00Speaker 4: Hey, what's this?
- 10:01Speaker 6: That's the tab we took for that guy's 20. Well,
- 10:03Speaker 6: didn't he come back?
- 10:04Speaker 4: No.
- 10:04Speaker 5: When he does, get the 20 before he takes back
- 10:06Speaker 5: his kid.
- 10:07Speaker 6: The kid? Well, where is she?
- 10:09Speaker 5: Well, she was sitting right over.
- 10:11Speaker 6: How do you like that?
- 10:12Speaker 4: Gone.
- 10:13Speaker 5: Every time I get big-hearted.
- 10:14Speaker 6: When was the other time? Oh, forget it, boss. Let's
- 10:18Speaker 6: go over to Big Steve and celebrate.
- 10:20Speaker 5: We got nothing to celebrate. Besides, I wouldn't pay a
- 10:22Speaker 5: cover charge to hear Gladys sing. She sounds like Jessica
- 10:25Speaker 5: with her net dragon. I'm going out and look around
- 10:28Speaker 5: for that doll.
- 10:29Speaker 6: Okay, I'll close up here.
- 10:31Speaker 3: You can't close until my daddy gets back.
- 10:33Speaker 6: Hey, where are you?
- 10:34Speaker 3: Right here under the counter.
- 10:36Speaker 6: How do you like that?
- 10:37Speaker 3: I guess I must have fallen asleep.
- 10:39Speaker 6: Oh, I hate to turn a sweet little doll like
- 10:41Speaker 6: you over to sorrowful, but I've got three miles to feed.
- 10:45Speaker 6: Two on my wife.
- 10:46Speaker 3: But what will I do?
- 10:48Speaker 6: Sorrowful will find you, Pop. There ain't nobody sorrowful can't
- 10:51Speaker 6: find that owes him 20 bucks.
- 10:52Speaker 3: But I'm hungry.
- 10:53Speaker 6: Tell you what I'll do, kiddo. I'll take you over
- 10:56Speaker 6: there to Big Steve's Cafe and put on the feed bag.
- 10:58Speaker 6: Come on. We'll know what to do after we get
- 11:00Speaker 6: the nourishment.
- 11:06Speaker 14: Why must they keep the moon so bright?
- 11:12Speaker 5: I won't sleep a wink tonight. I'm having a wonderful wish.
- 11:21Speaker 7: I've been waiting so long.
- 11:23Speaker 3: Time you were here.
- 11:32Speaker 6: Oh, good evening, Salford. For a guy that wasn't coming here,
- 11:35Speaker 6: you're awful present.
- 11:36Speaker 5: Well, my Boy Scout troop is holding a meeting here tonight.
- 11:38Speaker 5: The victim-owned Beaver Patrol. So you found the doll, I regret.
- 11:43Speaker 5: What about my 20 bucks? Have you got it, or
- 11:44Speaker 5: can I tie my shoelace?
- 11:46Speaker 6: Well, what about her you-know-what?
- 11:48Speaker 5: Her you-know-what has taken a powder. We hold her till

- 11:58Speaker 5: four-year-old Kate Smith? Or a five-year-old Ted Collins.
- 12:03Speaker 6: Sit down, honey.
- 12:03Speaker 9: Well, I didn't expect to see you back here so soon.
- 12:07Speaker 5: Oh, hello, Gladys.
- 12:08Speaker 4: Say, I heard you.
- 12:08Speaker 5: You've been taking singing lessons, huh?
- 12:10Speaker 3: That's right.
- 12:11Speaker 5: Now, if you can get your singing teacher to take
- 12:12Speaker 5: some lessons, you're all set.

- 12:19Speaker 5: Oh, you mean this little doll here?
- 12:20Speaker 6: Her father left her in the horse room for a
- 12:22Speaker 6: $ 20 market. The horse lost, and her old man ain't showed.

- 13:37Speaker 4: That's what I give my kid for supper.
- 13:39Speaker 5: Now, what can I do for you? Adopt me.
- 13:46Speaker 6: Hey, look, boys. Martha Jane. She's falling asleep right here
- 13:54Speaker 6: at the table.
- 13:55Speaker 9: Which reminds me, where does she spend the night? You
- 13:58Speaker 9: better take her to your place and put her to bed.
- 14:00Speaker 5: I'm no nursemaid. Besides, my room is too small. I
- 14:02Speaker 5: have to sleep with one leg out in the hall.
- 14:05Speaker 5: Why couldn't one of you?
- 14:06Speaker 9: I'd like to, Sorrowful, but I don't finish until one o'clock,
- 14:09Speaker 9: and this poor kid's got to get to bed now.
- 14:10Speaker 6: Look, we only got one bed in my house, and
- 14:12Speaker 6: my wife even objects to me sharing it.
- 14:14Speaker 5: Well, let's wake the kid up. We'll slip her some
- 14:16Speaker 5: strong coffee. Maybe she'll think of something cheap.
- 14:20Speaker 9: Oh, Sorrowful, for once in your life, why don't you
- 14:22Speaker 9: do something nice for somebody?
- 14:24Speaker 5: Okay, okay. I'm the fall guy. I can see it
- 14:27Speaker 5: all coming. The minute I make a few bucks, everybody
- 14:29Speaker 5: wants to move in. Say, waiter, will you wrap up
- 14:32Speaker 5: the rest of that steak for my dog?
- 14:33Speaker 4: I'll get a bag.
- 14:34Speaker 6: You haven't got a dog.
- 14:36Speaker 5: Quiet. Come on, Short. Wake up, Short. This is it.
- 14:39Speaker 5: We travel.
- 14:40Speaker 3: Didn't my daddy come yet?
- 14:42Speaker 5: No, but if he doesn't come by morning, I'm going
- 14:44Speaker 5: to put an ad in the scratch sheet.
- 14:46Speaker 9: Sorrowful will be very nice to you, honey. He'll take
- 14:48Speaker 9: care of you until your daddy comes.
- 14:50Speaker 3: I guess you're really not a monster, Mr. Sorrowful. You
- 14:53Speaker 3: just look like one.
- 14:55Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, I just look like one.
- 15:01Speaker 5: Come on, blow.
- 15:03Speaker 9: Mr.
- 15:03Speaker 3: Sorrowful, will you help me with these buttons, please?
- 15:10Speaker 5: You mean I got to undress you, too? What kind
- 15:12Speaker 5: of buttons are these? You sure you haven't got this
- 15:14Speaker 5: thing on backwards, or were you in the Navy? Honey,

- 16:26Speaker 5: Oh, that's nice.
- 16:27Speaker 3: Please couldn't sing. Then I wouldn't feel so lonesome and scared.

- 23:40Speaker 9: now and see your mommy, huh?
- 23:42Speaker 3: But I can't do that.
- 23:44Speaker 9: Why not?
- 23:45Speaker 3: My daddy says she's never coming back. I only kind

- 24:23Speaker 6: Hey, uh, how much of this deal does Gladys know?
- 24:26Speaker 5: Well, she knows a very good percentage, and I have
- 24:28Speaker 5: to tell her that I need the kid now so
- 24:29Speaker 5: we could raise Dreamy Joe next Thursday.
- 24:31Speaker 6: And the speedball, the, uh, F-I-X?
- 24:34Speaker 5: Stop showing off. Anyway, Gladys wouldn't understand. She's one of
- 24:38Speaker 5: those high-minded dames, thinks gambling is a sport.
- 24:41Speaker 6: Well, as long as the kid stays with you, the laughter,
- 24:43Speaker 6: the race, you're in good shape.
- 24:44Speaker 5: Oh, I'm in great shape. I'm holding a hot kid
- 24:46Speaker 5: the cops would love to find. A gent was murdered
- 24:49Speaker 5: with my marker in his pocket. I'm mixed up in
- 24:51Speaker 5: a crooked race. And if I try to resign, Big
- 24:53Speaker 5: Steve and once over Sam will beat me to death
- 24:55Speaker 5: with their pinkies. Oh, I'm in fine shape.
- 24:59Speaker 6: Excuse me, if I disappear, Boris, there's a detective named
- 25:02Speaker 6: Reardon approaching.
- 25:02Speaker 5: Reardon? Talk to Reardon, will you? I'll hide Martha Jane.
- 25:05Speaker 4: Hello, Gladys.
- 25:06Speaker 2: Hi.
- 25:07Speaker 9: Who's minding City Hall?
- 25:09Speaker 11: It's in good hands.
- 25:10Speaker 6: Say, what was sorrowful's big hurry? I wanted to talk
- 25:12Speaker 6: to him.
- 25:12Speaker 11: I hear he's latched on to a little girl.
- 25:15Speaker 9: It's me, and I'm a big girl.
- 25:17Speaker 6: I'm talking about the little Smith girl.
- 25:20Speaker 9: Oh, you know about her.
- 25:21Speaker 11: Registering a horse in the kid's name is a funny
- 25:23Speaker 11: way of trying to hide her.
- 25:24Speaker 9: Look, Mr. Reardon, if you could just sort of not
- 25:27Speaker 9: see her around for a couple of days, just until
- 25:29Speaker 9: dreamy Joe runs, she might win $ 3, 500.
- 25:31Speaker 11: I didn't say I was going to put the cuffs
- 25:34Speaker 11: on her.
- 25:35Speaker 9: You mean there's a heart under that badge?
- 25:38Speaker 6: I hear it ticking once in a while. Well, I
- 25:40Speaker 6: better try to find... Is that you, Gladys?
- 25:42Speaker 4: I'm here in the stable.
- 25:48Speaker 5: Is he gone?
- 25:49Speaker 4: No, not yet.
- 25:50Speaker 5: Oh, oh, Rig, no.
- 25:51Speaker 3: Oh, hiya.
- 25:53Speaker 5: Well, what are you doing here? Some horse steal a blanket?
- 25:56Speaker 4: Where's the little girl?
- 25:57Speaker 5: Little girl? What little girl, huh? Care for a bucket
- 26:00Speaker 5: of oats, a lump of sugar, give you a rubdown,
- 26:01Speaker 5: braid your tail?
- 26:06Speaker 6: The Smith girl.
- 26:07Speaker 5: Smith girl? Never met her, but I bought some cough
- 26:09Speaker 5: drops from her brothers. Little girl, huh?
- 26:13Speaker 4: How tall? Like so.
- 26:15Speaker 5: Not my type. You better ask Mickey Rooney. I'm just
- 26:17Speaker 5: around here.
- 26:18Speaker 13: Horses, I thought.
- 26:20Speaker 11: Now, look, I'm talking about the kids you're trying to hide.
- 26:22Speaker 13: You know what they do to you for kidnapping?
- 26:24Speaker 6: They sit you in a.
- 26:24Speaker 11: Big chair, strap your legs in, and they strap your
- 26:27Speaker 11: arms in. On your head, they put a steel cap,
- 26:29Speaker 11: and then they turn on the electricity.
- 26:31Speaker 5: Does it hurt you? Hurt you?
- 26:34Speaker 13: It ruins you.
- 26:35Speaker 7: Why, it even.
- 26:35Speaker 4: Hey, Gladys! You better get some water, laughing boy. Just fainted.
- 26:41Speaker 4: Here we are, shorts.
- 26:49Speaker 7: This is it.
- 26:50Speaker 3: Had a wonderful time with your party, Miss Gladys.
- 26:52Speaker 9: Thank you, dear.
- 26:53Speaker 4: Her party?
- 26:54Speaker 5: Who bought the paper cups?
- 26:55Speaker 3: He's funny, isn't he?
- 26:57Speaker 5: Go on, get ready for bed.
- 26:59Speaker 9: Good night, honey.
- 27:00Speaker 3: See you when you come in to kiss me good night, sorrowful.
- 27:03Speaker 3: What did she say?
- 27:05Speaker 5: Oh, it's a new thing, kissing her good night. She's
- 27:07Speaker 5: been seeing those pictures in the paper of Albin and
- 27:09Speaker 5: his bride.
- 27:16Speaker 9: You know, under that height of yours, you're practically a person.
- 27:20Speaker 5: Yeah, well, you better head for the cafe. It's about
- 27:22Speaker 5: time for you to do your number. The one you
- 27:23Speaker 5: sing off-key.
- 27:25Speaker 4: The good one.
- 27:26Speaker 9: Oh, I have time yet. Sorrowful. What happens to Martha
- 27:30Speaker 9: when the race is over?
- 27:32Speaker 5: If I can stay clear of her rear than that long,
- 27:33Speaker 5: she'll get the air.
- 27:34Speaker 4: What else?
- 27:36Speaker 7: Uh-huh.
- 27:37Speaker 9: Okay if I have a drink?
- 27:39Speaker 6: Go ahead.
- 27:39Speaker 5: You know the combination.
- 27:42Speaker 9: Well, I can see the bottle, but where are your
- 27:44Speaker 9: two straws?
- 27:45Speaker 5: Don't bother. All I want is a little taste.
- 27:50Speaker 9: So after the race, you just disappear, huh?
- 27:52Speaker 5: Well, maybe she'll latch on to somebody. Some nice couple
- 27:55Speaker 5: with a front lawn.
- 27:57Speaker 9: Have you been taking sentimental pills? I haven't heard you
- 28:00Speaker 9: talk about front lawn since that night in Omaha.
- 28:03Speaker 5: Yeah, I'll never forget that night. We had dinner in
- 28:05Speaker 5: that wonderful chop suey joint. Boy, was that expensive.
- 28:12Speaker 9: And then, after we tossed for the check and I lost,
- 28:16Speaker 9: you got kind of romantic.
- 28:17Speaker 5: Well, I didn't want you to embarrass me by leaving
- 28:19Speaker 5: too small a tip. You know, Gladys, Martha Jane's crazy
- 28:24Speaker 5: about you.
- 28:26Speaker 9: I'm crazy about her, too.
- 28:28Speaker 5: If she had you and a father, she'd have a
- 28:29Speaker 5: complete set.
- 28:32Speaker 9: Sure she would.
- 28:33Speaker 5: Well, what about you and.
- 28:37Speaker 7: Yes?
- 28:39Speaker 5: You and Big Steve.
- 28:41Speaker 9: It's later than I thought. So long.
- 28:43Speaker 5: But your drink.
- 28:44Speaker 9: Pour it back in the bottle and dive in after it.
- 28:46Speaker 5: Well, what are you sore about?
- 28:48Speaker 3: Who's sore?
- 28:48Speaker 9: I just think I better get to work. Big Steve
- 28:51Speaker 9: might not like it. So long, Tyrone.
- 28:54Speaker 5: Dames. Go figure them. They act like a bunch of women.
- 28:59Speaker 11: Hey, you. Shorts.
- 29:00Speaker 5: How you doing?
- 29:01Speaker 3: I'm all ready. Aren't you going to read me a story?
- 29:05Speaker 3: This book. The one Aunt Gladys gave me.
- 29:07Speaker 5: Aunt Gladys. Now it's Aunt Gladys. It's good you got
- 29:10Speaker 5: rich relatives.
- 29:11Speaker 12: Mr.
- 29:11Speaker 3: Sarge, why are you such a tight one?
- 29:17Speaker 5: Now, wait a minute. Talking like that ain't nice. There's
- 29:22Speaker 5: no telling who might be listening.
- 29:24Speaker 3: You mean God?
- 29:26Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe.
- 29:26Speaker 9: Maybe.
- 29:27Speaker 12: Mr.
- 29:28Speaker 3: Sharple, have you ever seen God?
- 29:30Speaker 5: Well, no, he doesn't hang around horse rooms very much.
- 29:34Speaker 5: But if you ever want anything, why, you just ask God,
- 29:37Speaker 5: and often as not, he comes through.
- 29:39Speaker 3: You mean rightly. Make Santa Claus?
- 29:41Speaker 5: Well, that's where praying comes in. You save three cents.
- 29:44Speaker 9: Mr.
- 29:44Speaker 3: Sarko, teach me how to pray. I want to ask
- 29:47Speaker 3: for something.
- 29:48Speaker 5: I never knew a dame who didn't.
- 29:51Speaker 7: Okay.
- 29:53Speaker 5: Only don't go telling people about this. I don't want
- 29:55Speaker 5: it to get around, you see? Now kneel.
- 29:57Speaker 3: But why should I kneel?
- 29:59Speaker 5: How do I know I don't make the rules? Well,
- 30:04Speaker 5: like a racing commission makes the rules of the track,
- 30:06Speaker 5: I guess there must be a praying commission someplace.
- 30:10Speaker 3: Now what do I do?
- 30:11Speaker 5: Well, just say like this. Now I lay me down
- 30:14Speaker 5: to sleep.
- 30:15Speaker 3: Now I lay me down to sleep.
- 30:17Speaker 5: I pray the Lord my soul to keep.
- 30:19Speaker 3: I pray the Lord my soul to keep.
- 30:21Speaker 5: If I should die before I wake.
- 30:24Speaker 3: If I should die before I wake.
- 30:26Speaker 5: I pray the Lord my soul to take.
- 30:28Speaker 3: I pray the Lord for my soul to take.
- 30:30Speaker 5: God bless Sorrowful, Gladys, Regret, and everybody.
- 30:33Speaker 3: God bless Sorrowful, Gladys, Regret, and everybody. And Dreamy Joe, too?
- 30:38Speaker 5: Oh, yeah, him most of all. He's the closest to going.
- 30:43Speaker 3: And Dreamy Joe most of all. He's the closest of going.
- 30:48Speaker 3: Is that all?
- 30:49Speaker 5: That's it. That's the works.
- 30:51Speaker 3: Well, when do I ask for what I want?
- 30:53Speaker 5: Oh, you better slip it in right now, quick, while
- 30:55Speaker 5: your prayer's still hot.
- 30:58Speaker 3: Please, dear God, buy Mr. Sarifo new shoes, clothes.
- 31:04Speaker 5: With two pair of pants, please.
- 31:10Speaker 3: With two pair of pants. Good night, Sarifo.
- 31:13Speaker 5: Good night, shorts.
- 31:22Speaker 6: Hello?
- 31:23Speaker 9: Steve.
- 31:23Speaker 4: Yeah, who's this? I.
- 31:25Speaker 7: What's over Sam? Steve, I'm trying all morning to get you.
- 31:29Speaker 4: What's wrong?
- 31:30Speaker 7: That Blackwood Reardon.
- 31:31Speaker 13: He gave me the business.
- 31:33Speaker 7: You remember that little doll at Sorrowful?
- 31:34Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 31:35Speaker 8: Well, Reardon says she belongs to the gent we catch
- 31:38Speaker 8: at the office.
- 31:38Speaker 13: The one whose last address is the East River.
- 31:41Speaker 4: Get over there, Sam. Shut Sorrowful up and get that
- 31:43Speaker 4: kid out of sight. Having her on so close may
- 31:45Speaker 4: give Reardon ideas.
- 31:47Speaker 7: Well, what must I do with her?
- 31:49Speaker 4: I don't care what you do. Just get rid of her.
- 31:51Speaker 7: Okay, Steve. I'm on my way.
- 32:01Speaker 6: Ta-da!
- 32:03Speaker 9: No, I don't believe it.
- 32:05Speaker 3: A new suit. Just look at him. Guys, sir, for you, Mr.
- 32:12Speaker 3: Beautiful Jimmy Joe.
- 32:16Speaker 5: Well, you like it?
- 32:18Speaker 9: It's like Rembrandt painted a dish of chicken fat.
- 32:24Speaker 5: Drink it in. I've got to be back in the
- 32:25Speaker 5: window by 12. The material is reversible. The jacket opens
- 32:30Speaker 5: up into a record player.
- 32:33Speaker 3: And new shoes, but I only paid for a new suit.
- 32:36Speaker 5: Stool pigeon. Can't a citizen get dressed up if he
- 32:39Speaker 5: wants to?
- 32:40Speaker 7: I come for the kid. She's going on a trip.
- 32:44Speaker 5: A trip?
- 32:44Speaker 3: Is he going to take me to my daddy?
- 32:46Speaker 5: Get in your room, short. I'll give you the rundown later.
- 32:50Speaker 5: All right, Sam. Who's going on what trip?
- 32:52Speaker 8: According to Steve, the kid's got to get loose, such
- 32:55Speaker 8: as out of town or in.
- 32:56Speaker 7: An orphan home.
- 32:57Speaker 5: But she's not in anybody's way.
- 32:59Speaker 7: Mr.
- 32:59Speaker 8: Jones, it is not possible to eat corn on the
- 33:03Speaker 8: cob without front teeth. Or would you like to find that.
- 33:08Speaker 7: Out for yourself?
- 33:10Speaker 14: Sorrowful.
- 33:11Speaker 9: Don't let that big ape.
- 33:11Speaker 5: Push you around. Well, I'll try to control my temper. Look,
- 33:15Speaker 5: I'll go in there and put it to the little
- 33:16Speaker 5: doll in person. Maybe she'd like to go.
- 33:19Speaker 9: If you take that little girl out of here, it'll
- 33:21Speaker 9: be over my dead body.
- 33:23Speaker 7: That, too, can be a wreck. Meantime, sit down! Mr.
- 33:30Speaker 3: Sarge, well, if he's not going to take me to
- 33:32Speaker 3: my daddy, where is he taking me?
- 33:34Speaker 5: Well, I'm sorry, Short. You're going to a special place
- 33:37Speaker 5: just for juniors. An orphanage.
- 33:40Speaker 3: What's an orphanage?
- 33:41Speaker 5: Oh, it's like a big pool room, but for kids.
- 33:44Speaker 4: It's a pool.
- 33:46Speaker 6: No.
- 33:47Speaker 5: No, you're not going anyplace. Now look, shorts, we're going
- 33:50Speaker 5: to play a game called hide and go seek. Now
- 33:53Speaker 5: you climb out the window and hide on the fire escape.
- 33:54Speaker 5: Just stay there, see?
- 33:56Speaker 3: On the fire escape? What kind of a game is this?
- 33:59Speaker 5: I learned it during my vaudeville days. It's called actor
- 34:00Speaker 5: and the landlady. Now don't make a sound until I
- 34:07Speaker 5: yell ready.
- 34:08Speaker 3: Are you going to surprise me again?
- 34:10Speaker 5: This time it's me I'm surprising. And no matter what happens,
- 34:13Speaker 5: just keep quiet.
- 34:14Speaker 3: I will, Mr. Sarple.
- 34:15Speaker 4: Okay, honey.
- 34:16Speaker 5: Now out you go.
- 34:17Speaker 8: Hey, what's the big idea of locking that bedroom door?
- 34:20Speaker 5: I'm not going to let you take her, Sam. Make
- 34:21Speaker 5: one move and I'll throw a punch.
- 34:23Speaker 7: Why, you punk, I'll break your neck.
- 34:25Speaker 5: You break my neck and I'll... You'll what? I'll nod
- 34:28Speaker 5: all over you.
- 34:30Speaker 7: One punch and I can flatten you.
- 34:32Speaker 5: All right, you'll flatten me, but I'll get up off
- 34:34Speaker 5: the floor swinging.
- 34:35Speaker 7: So you're swinging, so I bust your nose.
- 34:36Speaker 5: So what? Nobody will ever notice the difference.
- 34:40Speaker 3: You take it easy, Sam. You're outnumbered.
- 34:43Speaker 7: Stay out of this, madam, or I'll bop you too.
- 34:45Speaker 8: Now, give me the key before I ram your head
- 34:47Speaker 8: through that door.
- 34:49Speaker 3: There.
- 34:51Speaker 9: Well, I warned him. Now, get Shorts out of that room.
- 34:53Speaker 6: Huh?
- 34:54Speaker 4: Oh, yeah, yeah. Well, maybe it's a good thing I
- 34:56Speaker 4: checked up in person. All right, Sam, get off the floor.
- 35:00Speaker 4: Get rid of the kid.
- 35:01Speaker 3: No.
- 35:02Speaker 7: No, she's still in there, Steve.
- 35:03Speaker 5: Now, wait a minute, Steve. She's not in there.
- 35:05Speaker 4: Oh, no?
- 35:07Speaker 6: There.
- 35:07Speaker 5: You see? Empty room.
- 35:09Speaker 7: But I see her go in there.
- 35:11Speaker 5: Hey, kids. All right, sorrowful. Where is she?
- 35:18Speaker 4: Well, that's different.
- 35:19Speaker 5: You ask a civil question, you get a civil answer.
- 35:22Speaker 5: I don't know where she is.
- 35:23Speaker 3: Hey, folks, folks, look.
- 35:24Speaker 4: Down there.
- 35:25Speaker 5: Down on the sidewalk.
- 35:26Speaker 3: An accident.
- 35:27Speaker 4: All them people.
- 35:30Speaker 5: Shorts.
- 35:31Speaker 4: Shorts. Yeah, looks like our little problem's all taken care of, huh?
- 35:34Speaker 13: She fell off the fire escape.
- 35:36Speaker 5: Steve, call an ambulance. I'm going down there.
- 35:38Speaker 4: Call them yourself. But be careful what you say, pal,
- 35:40Speaker 4: or the next ambulance will be for you.
- 35:51Speaker 10: For Defense Department employees working abroad, the laws and customs
- 35:57Speaker 10: of a foreign land can be frustrating. Even though you're
- 36:00Speaker 10: subject to foreign laws, you're also entitled to most of
- 36:03Speaker 10: the safeguards outlined in the Status of Forces Agreements, and
- 36:06Speaker 10: the local military commander will work to ensure that the
- 36:09Speaker 10: rights of civilian personnel are properly maintained. It can be overwhelming,
- 36:14Speaker 10: but the military is there to help you every step
- 36:18Speaker 10: of the way.
- 36:21Speaker 3: And now.
- 36:45Speaker 8: Your host, Frank Brzee, returns to the microphone.
- 36:47Speaker 1: The curtain rises on the third act of Sorrowful Jones,
- 36:50Speaker 1: starring Bob Hope and Lucille Ball.
- 37:00Speaker 2: It's several hours later, and Martha Jane lies in a
- 37:04Speaker 2: hospital bed, critically injured. In the visitor's room, Sorrowful, Gladys,
- 37:09Speaker 2: and Regret hear the latest word from the doctor.
- 37:12Speaker 13: There's nothing new I can tell you, Mr.
- 37:13Speaker 7: Jones.
- 37:14Speaker 13: No change, I'm afraid. She's still delirious.
- 37:16Speaker 5: Well, how bad is it, Doc?
- 37:17Speaker 13: Her status shock can be very serious. Tell me, is
- 37:20Speaker 13: her father here?
- 37:22Speaker 9: No.
- 37:23Speaker 13: Oh, then you must be the one she calls Dreamy Joe.
- 37:25Speaker 7: Me?
- 37:27Speaker 5: Dreamy Joe's a horse.
- 37:28Speaker 7: He's her horse.
- 37:29Speaker 4: A horse?
- 37:29Speaker 6: Well, that's too bad.
- 37:31Speaker 13: She keeps calling for Dreamy Joe. It would have helped
- 37:33Speaker 13: if she could have seen him.
- 37:34Speaker 5: I wonder if that praying commission is open in the daytime. What?
- 37:37Speaker 2: Oh, nothing.
- 37:38Speaker 12: Nothing?
- 37:39Speaker 9: She keeps asking for Dreamy Joe.
- 37:41Speaker 6: I never realized a nag could mean so much to
- 37:43Speaker 6: a kid.
- 37:45Speaker 9: Gee, just looking at him might make the difference.
- 37:47Speaker 6: If the big race wasn't just a few hours off,
- 37:49Speaker 6: we might arrange something.
- 37:50Speaker 9: Which is more important, a bunch of horses chasing each
- 37:53Speaker 9: other or Martha Jane?
- 37:54Speaker 5: What are you looking at me for? What do you
- 37:55Speaker 5: want me to do, steal him off the track?
- 37:57Speaker 9: If necessary, yes.
- 37:59Speaker 4: Oh, fine.
- 37:59Speaker 5: I'm sure no one will notice the lump under my coat. You, uh.
- 38:09Speaker 5: You know what they do to horse thieves?
- 38:11Speaker 6: Well, they don't hang you anymore, Sorrowful.
- 38:13Speaker 5: They just rough you up a bit. This is the
- 38:15Speaker 5: craziest thing I ever heard of. I've crossed Big Steve
- 38:17Speaker 5: once already. If I do it again, they'd have to
- 38:19Speaker 5: roll me into surgery on four different tables.
- 38:22Speaker 9: Sorrowful, what if we borrow Dreamy Joe after the race?
- 38:25Speaker 6: There won't be any Dreamy Joe after the race. Speedball-itis.
- 38:30Speaker 9: Speedball-itis? You mean you dragged the kid into a crooked race?
- 38:35Speaker 9: You gave her a horse and let her go crazy
- 38:37Speaker 9: about it when you knew it was going to die?
- 38:39Speaker 5: Well, the kid just happened to get mixed up in it.
- 38:41Speaker 5: I never wanted to hurt her.
- 38:42Speaker 3: You get out of here.
- 38:44Speaker 9: And just remember this. If we should ever run into
- 38:46Speaker 9: each other again along Broadway, just keep walking.
- 38:50Speaker 5: Come on, Regret. Let's get walking, blabbermouth.
- 39:02Speaker 6: Now, you sorrowful, I just cased the stable. They're getting
- 39:05Speaker 6: Dreamy Joe ready for the race. Once over Sam, he's
- 39:07Speaker 6: taking a night for a walk.
- 39:09Speaker 5: Sam, huh? Well, we'll just have to take the horse
- 39:12Speaker 5: away from Sam.
- 39:13Speaker 6: I might have known it. It'd be we again.
- 39:14Speaker 5: If you were half a man, you'd think of shorts.
- 39:16Speaker 6: If this plan of yours doesn't work, I'll be half
- 39:18Speaker 6: a man.
- 39:19Speaker 5: Oh, get going. I'll be right in back of you.
- 39:21Speaker 5: No slip-ups or we'll both be wearing cement wedgies.
- 39:27Speaker 6: Ah, good afternoon, Sam.
- 39:30Speaker 7: What do you want?
- 39:32Speaker 6: I don't want nothing.
- 39:34Speaker 8: Then why are you telling me good afternoon for?
- 39:38Speaker 6: Taking dreamy Joe for a little stroll, huh? You want
- 39:41Speaker 6: I should walk him a little?
- 39:42Speaker 7: Shut up.
- 39:44Speaker 6: Oh, look, Sam, I happen to like you.
- 39:47Speaker 7: What is there to like?
- 39:49Speaker 6: Oh, I don't mean no offense. Why, everybody likes Once
- 39:53Speaker 6: Over Sam.
- 39:55Speaker 7: They do?
- 39:56Speaker 6: Sure. Why, when you walk down Broadway, you know what
- 39:59Speaker 6: everybody says?
- 40:00Speaker 8: What?
- 40:01Speaker 6: They say, there goes Sam.
- 40:04Speaker 7: No.
- 40:05Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 40:07Speaker 6: And you know what else they say? They say you're smart.
- 40:10Speaker 7: You gotta be smart.
- 40:11Speaker 8: If you don't like a guy, you gotta have brains
- 40:14Speaker 8: enough to belt him on the chin.
- 40:16Speaker 6: Yeah. Well, so long, friend. Always nice to kick it
- 40:19Speaker 6: around with you.
- 40:20Speaker 8: Thank you kindly. And take my advice, Regret. Give the
- 40:23Speaker 8: rush to that crumb, Sorrowful.
- 40:26Speaker 5: You got clad.
- 40:32Speaker 7: Well, I'm back, boss.
- 40:33Speaker 8: I take Dreamy Joe for a walk, like you say.
- 40:36Speaker 4: Where is he? Where's Dreamy Joe?
- 40:38Speaker 8: Boss, he's right on the end of this rope.
- 40:42Speaker 7: Oh, it's... Hey, hey, that ain't Dreamy Joe. What happened? Boss,
- 40:50Speaker 7: I bring back the wrong beast.
- 40:54Speaker 4: What did you do with him?
- 40:54Speaker 6: Where is he?
- 40:55Speaker 13: I don't know.
- 40:57Speaker 8: I am walking along, clutching the rope, talking to my
- 41:00Speaker 8: friend Regret.
- 41:00Speaker 4: Regret? Why, you dunce, that means Sorrowful Jones has Dreamy Joe.
- 41:03Speaker 4: He switched horses on you while you were talking to
- 41:05Speaker 4: your friend.
- 41:06Speaker 9: No.
- 41:06Speaker 4: Come on, I think I know just where to find him.
- 41:13Speaker 5: Well, I got you away from the track, Dreamy Joe
- 41:14Speaker 5: Now all we gotta do is hitch a ride back
- 41:16Speaker 5: to town Why didn't you think of that before we
- 41:19Speaker 5: left the stable? I can't understand these drivers Nobody wants
- 41:29Speaker 5: to give us a ride Hey, Dreamy, lift your blanket
- 41:31Speaker 5: and show a little more leg Never mind, I guess
- 41:35Speaker 5: we'll have to do it the hard way I'll just
- 41:36Speaker 5: leap on your back like this Steady, boy, we'll try
- 41:41Speaker 5: it again Whoa, boy.
- 41:42Speaker 6: Whoa, now.
- 41:43Speaker 5: Can you kneel down a little? Look, how about this?
- 41:46Speaker 5: I'll spread my legs and you crawl under me, huh?
- 41:50Speaker 13: Hey, hey, take it easy.
- 41:51Speaker 5: I'm going side saddle. Just follow the traffic, Dreamy Joe.
- 41:54Speaker 5: We're heading straight into town. Well, this is the hospital,
- 42:03Speaker 5: Dreamy Joe. Now all we got to do is sneak
- 42:05Speaker 5: in that door and go down the corridor to the elevator.
- 42:07Speaker 5: Just act nonchalant. If anybody stops us, just tell them
- 42:10Speaker 5: you're visiting someone.
- 42:12Speaker 3: Just a minute.
- 42:13Speaker 9: What is the meaning of this?
- 42:14Speaker 6: Oh, it's okay, nurse.
- 42:15Speaker 5: He's my brother.
- 42:17Speaker 3: Your brother?
- 42:17Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm taking him to the psych ward. He thinks
- 42:18Speaker 5: he's a horse. Quiet, Vaughn.
- 42:24Speaker 14: Get away from that elevator.
- 42:25Speaker 4: Stop.
- 42:26Speaker 3: Doctor, there's a lunatic in the elevator with a horse.
- 42:33Speaker 5: This is it, Dreamy Joe.
- 42:34Speaker 4: Fifth floor.
- 42:35Speaker 5: I'll see if the coast is clear. And if you
- 42:37Speaker 5: see anyone, look sick.
- 42:41Speaker 4: Oh, my gosh.
- 42:42Speaker 5: Big Steve and Sam down there in front of Martha
- 42:43Speaker 5: Jane's room.
- 42:44Speaker 2: Steady.
- 42:45Speaker 5: Dreamy Joe, stay here in the elevator, and I'll just
- 42:47Speaker 5: sneak out, and I'll... Hey, Dreamy Joe! Hey, come back here!
- 42:50Speaker 3: Come here!
- 42:51Speaker 14: Hey!
- 42:51Speaker 4: Something wrong, young man?
- 42:52Speaker 5: Yeah, the elevator, it's gone.
- 42:53Speaker 2: Well, it's automatic.
- 42:54Speaker 6: Someone must have buzzed for it.
- 42:55Speaker 5: Yeah, but there's a horse in that elevator.
- 42:56Speaker 12: A horse?
- 42:57Speaker 5: Yeah, I told him I'd be right back.
- 42:58Speaker 4: You told the horse you'd be right back?
- 43:00Speaker 5: Yeah, now he's disappeared.
- 43:01Speaker 4: The horse disappeared?
- 43:02Speaker 5: I lost my horse, you see.
- 43:03Speaker 6: All right, all right.
- 43:04Speaker 4: Now, let's not get excited.
- 43:06Speaker 5: I'm not excited. Take it easy.
- 43:08Speaker 6: Maybe he just went down for a sandwich or something.
- 43:11Speaker 4: He'll come right back.
- 43:12Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah.
- 43:13Speaker 4: Oh, we see them around here all the time.
- 43:14Speaker 8: Pink horses, green horses, blue horses.
- 43:17Speaker 5: Wait a minute. Are you a patient here?
- 43:19Speaker 4: I happen to be a doctor.
- 43:21Speaker 5: Now, why don't you step into my office and we'll
- 43:23Speaker 5: see if we... Stop looking at me as if I'm
- 43:25Speaker 5: Olivia de Havilland. There, you see?
- 43:35Speaker 9: That's my horse.
- 43:36Speaker 5: Where'd you go, Dreamy? You have to go riding up
- 43:38Speaker 5: and down. One more move like that and you wind
- 43:40Speaker 5: up in a tube in a stationery store. We got
- 43:42Speaker 5: work to do now. Come on.
- 43:43Speaker 4: Nurse!
- 43:43Speaker 3: Intern!
- 43:44Speaker 5: Help! Not so fast, Dreamy Joe. Quit shoving.
- 43:50Speaker 7: Quit.
- 43:51Speaker 5: Now, wait a minute. I don't know how we're going
- 43:53Speaker 5: to get past those two gorillas. Why'd you have to
- 43:55Speaker 5: get mixed up with Big Steve? Anyway, don't you know he.
- 43:57Speaker 4: Well, if it ain't Sir Apple Jones and the horse.
- 43:59Speaker 4: He's got the horse.
- 44:00Speaker 5: Dreamy Joe?
- 44:01Speaker 7: Oh, yeah.
- 44:01Speaker 5: I was just bringing him in for a checkup. After all, he.
- 44:03Speaker 3: Oh!
- 44:04Speaker 5: What a sucker leading with your right.
- 44:06Speaker 4: Get up off the floor.
- 44:07Speaker 5: Give me that horse. I gotta have that horse.
- 44:09Speaker 7: And that's for swiping the kid.
- 44:10Speaker 4: That's enough, Sam. We gotta get out of here.
- 44:11Speaker 5: Oh, no, you don't. Wait till I give Sam my
- 44:13Speaker 5: rabbit punch.
- 44:14Speaker 12: Oh!
- 44:15Speaker 5: Can't understand. It always works on rabbits.
- 44:18Speaker 4: Better punch for that elevator, boss.
- 44:20Speaker 5: You're not taking that horse.
- 44:21Speaker 4: So you want more of them, sir?
- 44:22Speaker 5: I want Dreamy Joe.
- 44:23Speaker 7: And this is for shooting your mouth off to the law.
- 44:26Speaker 4: Ain't it me, Sam?
- 44:27Speaker 5: Rain.
- 44:28Speaker 4: Grab him, boys.
- 44:28Speaker 6: All right, we got him.
- 44:29Speaker 5: Oh, it's a good thing you came, Reardon, or I'd
- 44:30Speaker 5: have killed him.
- 44:31Speaker 4: Let's go, Steve. You too, Sam.
- 44:34Speaker 11: I want to have a little chat with you boys
- 44:36Speaker 11: down at headquarters.
- 44:36Speaker 5: Yeah, and I got a date with Dreamy Joe. Come on, George.
- 44:38Speaker 4: Come on, boy. I'll have you back pounding a beat
- 44:40Speaker 4: for this. Maybe so.
- 44:41Speaker 11: But there's a certain scrub lady who works in your cafe.
- 44:44Speaker 11: She recognized a photograph of Orville Smith. Said he was
- 44:47Speaker 11: in your place just before he was murdered.
- 44:49Speaker 4: All right, boys, take him away.
- 44:59Speaker 5: Here he is, Doctor. Dreamy Joe. Well, you told me
- 45:03Speaker 5: if Martha Jane saw Dreamy Joe.
- 45:05Speaker 4: Maybe she.
- 45:05Speaker 6: I don't know, Mr.
- 45:05Speaker 3: Jones.
- 45:06Speaker 13: We've done everything we can.
- 45:07Speaker 5: She's no better?
- 45:08Speaker 13: Well, if she was, you don't think I'd let you
- 45:09Speaker 13: bring a horse in here, do you? All right, lead
- 45:11Speaker 13: him in.
- 45:15Speaker 12: Oh, Sorrowful.
- 45:17Speaker 7: You brought him.
- 45:18Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 45:19Speaker 6: Shorts.
- 45:20Speaker 5: Shorts. Can you open your eyes? Look who's here.
- 45:23Speaker 9: Martha Jane. Shorts.
- 45:25Speaker 5: Look, honey, look.
- 45:27Speaker 9: It's Dreamy Joe. He came to see you. Dreamy Joe.
- 45:33Speaker 5: I couldn't keep him away, Shorts. He kept asking for you.
- 45:36Speaker 3: Dreamy Joe. Dreamy Joe.
- 45:39Speaker 13: Well, I've been practicing a good many years, but I've
- 45:41Speaker 13: never seen anything like this before.
- 45:44Speaker 9: You mean she'll get better now?
- 45:46Speaker 13: I wouldn't be at all surprised. Yes, I think you
- 45:48Speaker 13: can leave the rest to me now.
- 45:49Speaker 6: Hey, Sorrowful, come out in the hall a minute.
- 45:52Speaker 13: Well.
- 45:53Speaker 5: I don't have to ask.
- 45:54Speaker 13: I can read her chart on your faces.
- 45:56Speaker 9: Oh, she's got to be all right, Mr.
- 45:57Speaker 5: Reardon.
- 45:58Speaker 9: Sorrowful brought her the best medicine in the world.
- 46:01Speaker 11: Well, as soon as she's up and around, I'll take over.
- 46:03Speaker 5: Wait. You mean that orphanage routine?
- 46:06Speaker 6: I guarantee the best.
- 46:07Speaker 11: Then I'll scout around for some nice people to adopt her.
- 46:10Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 46:11Speaker 5: Hey, would you mind holding Dreamy Joe for a minute? Hey, Gladys,
- 46:14Speaker 5: this way.
- 46:16Speaker 9: What's the matter, Sorrowful?
- 46:17Speaker 5: You can't let shorts fall on the hands of some
- 46:19Speaker 5: strange couple. They might be undesirable characters.
- 46:22Speaker 9: It would still be an improvement for her.
- 46:24Speaker 5: Look, you want to get married, don't you? You've hinted
- 46:27Speaker 5: at it often enough.
- 46:30Speaker 9: Yes, one of these days, but to a solid citizen,
- 46:33Speaker 9: and I don't see any around.
- 46:34Speaker 5: Who cares about solid citizens? I'm thinking about shorts. If
- 46:37Speaker 5: we don't act fast, she's going to be farmed out
- 46:39Speaker 5: from under us.
- 46:40Speaker 9: Well, what do you want me to do about it?
- 46:42Speaker 5: Well, I'm willing to make a sacrifice. Why can't you?
- 46:49Speaker 5: Some couple has to adopt her. How about us?
- 46:51Speaker 9: I think that's a very good idea. The first one
- 46:54Speaker 9: of us who gets married should definitely adopt her.
- 46:56Speaker 5: I mean to each other.
- 46:57Speaker 4: Come here.
- 47:08Speaker 9: Mrs. Sorrowful Jones.
- 47:10Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 47:11Speaker 12: Mrs.
- 47:12Speaker 9: Sorrowful Jones. Don't you have a real first name? Mm-hmm.
- 47:17Speaker 9: Don't you have a real first name?
- 47:18Speaker 12: Mm-hmm.
- 47:19Speaker 9: What is it?
- 47:21Speaker 5: Humphrey.
- 47:32Speaker 9: Humphrey. There's nothing romantic about that.
- 47:35Speaker 5: Well, don't let it bother you. I got a middle name, too.
- 47:37Speaker 7: What is it?
- 47:37Speaker 5: Rossellini. And so, a few weeks later.
- 47:46Speaker 2: Sorrowful Jones and Gladys and Martha Jane.
- 47:53Speaker 5: Well, I'm sure glad we're going home. My feet are
- 47:55Speaker 5: killing me.
- 47:56Speaker 3: But the play circus. Aren't we going to the play circus?
- 47:59Speaker 5: Sure, but you can't do it all in one day.
- 48:00Speaker 5: We've been to the zoo. We climbed to the top
- 48:02Speaker 5: of the Statue of Liberty. We were on the lake
- 48:03Speaker 5: in Central Park. Just look at these blisters from Rowan.
- 48:06Speaker 5: Show them, Gladys. Hold out your hands.
- 48:09Speaker 3: But you promised, Daddy.
- 48:12Speaker 7: Well, Daddy?
- 48:13Speaker 5: Okay.
