00:00:00THE END

00:00:30THE END

00:01:00I hear you got an epidemic of flu over where you're living.

00:01:04Yeah, and believe me, I took the old shot in the arm, too.

00:01:08I'm a guy what takes no chances.

00:01:11Hey, looky, there's another load of them rubbernecks down there getting their tonsils unburned.

00:01:15On your right, ladies and gentlemen, you are about to gaze upon the eighth wonder of the world, the most colossal structure in the universe, Manhattan Tower.

00:01:26Compared to this, the ancient Tower of Babylon was a doghouse.

00:01:32Twelve hundred and sixty-five feet, a hundred and two stories above the ground.

00:01:37At its pinnacle, a mooring mass was empty.

00:01:40A quarter of a million tons of stone and sixty-thousand tons of steel were used in its construction.

00:01:50Nineteen million feet of telephone, telegraph, and electric wiring.

00:01:54A hundred and twenty-five miles of piping.

00:01:56It is a city within itself, having its own banks, restaurants, stores, laundries, and its own fire and police departments.

00:02:05Within these walls revolve the mighty wheels of the business world.

00:02:10Fifty thousand people depend upon this building for their daily bread.

00:02:15Whether it's success or failure, triumph or defeat.

00:02:22And I said to him, listen, wise guy, when I got into this thing, Marie, it was all alone.

00:02:28When I got out of this, it'll be the same way.

00:02:30Nothing like that ever happens to me.

00:02:36Well, let us look where you're going.

00:02:38Take us by.

00:03:45Well, what better did you do to me?

00:03:49The solutions, Farkeye.

00:03:52Why, don't you tell us to the plot?

00:03:56You think I won't?

00:03:59Hiya, Bart.

00:04:01I love you.

00:04:03You know, I'm not afraid of my job.

00:04:05Oh, no?

00:04:07No.

00:04:09If they used their noodle when they installed this, we wouldn't have been going through all this trouble.

00:04:14Well, I'd tell the boss.

00:04:19Dick, here comes the...

00:04:23Uh, Jimmy.

00:04:25Where did I make that mistake?

00:04:27Well, how do you do, Mr. Ramsey?

00:04:28Tell me, what's wrong?

00:04:30Well, you see, this line is carrying too much juice.

00:04:33The cadets won't carry the load.

00:04:35This line is carrying only half capacity.

00:04:39You're right, Jimmy.

00:04:41I'd never be afraid to tell the boss if you're sure he's wrong.

00:04:44Thanks, Mr. Ramsey.

00:04:48Hey, Jimmy.

00:04:49Is you gonna meet your girl this morning?

00:04:51Have I ever missed meeting her?

00:04:53Holy shit!

00:04:55Great guy, Jimmy.

00:04:56The only thing he likes better in his job is his girl.

00:05:09Yeah?

00:05:10Well, he'll be gonna get over that after you.

00:05:14All right.

00:05:16Good morning, Mr. Ramsey.

00:05:17You're early.

00:05:18Yes.

00:05:19I'm expecting an early visit from my wife.

00:05:23How do you need it to get through this mob every morning?

00:05:24Well, I have to, to keep my job.

00:05:25I'm expecting an early visit from my wife.

00:05:30How do you need it to get through this mob every morning?

00:05:39Well, I have to, to keep my job.

00:05:44An early visit from my wife.

00:05:48How do you manage to get through this mob every morning?

00:05:51Well, I have to to keep my job.

00:05:53Don't you worry about that, ma'am.

00:05:55You're quite the nicest secretary I've ever had.

00:05:59Oh, thank you.

00:06:01I forgot something. I'll be right out.

00:06:16Of course, Mary.

00:06:26Come on, Jimmy.

00:06:29Oh, what's the matter?

00:06:31What do you think?

00:06:32I'll be simple, Mr.

00:06:34You know I have to be nice to Mr. Burns.

00:06:36I saw the way he was holding your arm.

00:06:38He was just being polite.

00:06:40Yes, I know.

00:06:42I'd like to take a good sock at that guy.

00:06:45Now, I can take care of myself.

00:06:47What do you want me to do? Put my job?

00:06:49Well, I can get along without any of his dough.

00:06:51Well, maybe you could, but we couldn't.

00:06:54Say, listen.

00:06:55You can keep him in his place.

00:06:57You know how.

00:06:58You're not dumb.

00:06:59I don't know why I put up with you as yellow.

00:07:02Well, we went together a long time before you let me hold your arm that way.

00:07:05Well, come on that way.

00:07:07Now, go on that way.

00:07:08Oh, oh, oh, no.

00:07:09Go on.

00:07:10Go on, listen.

00:07:11Go on, go on.

00:07:12Go on, go on, go on.

00:07:13Go on.

00:07:14Go on, go on.

00:07:15I don't know.

00:07:45The garden's a pretty place, ain't it?

00:07:47Yes.

00:07:48That's beautiful.

00:07:52How much money have we got in the bank, Harry?

00:07:54$185.

00:07:57We'll have enough in three more months.

00:08:01Seems like three years to me.

00:08:03Me too, Jim.

00:08:06I wish I knew how to make a lot of money right quick.

00:08:09So do I.

00:08:15What if it's time?

00:08:16I can't go.

00:08:17I'm sorry, Harry.

00:08:24I'm sorry.

00:08:26Good morning, Mary.

00:08:47Good morning.

00:08:50Hello, Alan.

00:08:51Hello, Mary.

00:08:51Good morning, Mary.

00:08:52Good morning.

00:09:03Hello, Mr. Hoy.

00:09:11Hello.

00:09:12You might hear you.

00:09:14Say, is she ever on time?

00:09:16I don't know how she gets away with it.

00:09:19Hello, National Broaddocks Corporation.

00:09:29Come on, Martha.

00:09:30Let's go back to the party.

00:09:31I'll get the gate this time, sure.

00:09:34We left just as a party was getting light.

00:09:36Listen, old tomato.

00:09:38This mama still purchases a club.

00:09:41Say, you run over to my door and ask the landlady to give you one of my street dresses.

00:09:46And bring it here.

00:09:48Oh, go on now, like a good egg.

00:09:50And I'll let you take me to another party sometime.

00:09:54Oh, hurry up.

00:09:55Come on.

00:09:55Hurry.

00:09:56I'll let you take me to another party.

00:10:26Is the boss in?

00:10:30Yes, he got in early.

00:10:33Another party.

00:10:34And what a party.

00:10:36We had to leave before it was half open.

00:10:38I sent the leech home for one of my street dresses.

00:10:41Say, it's about time you got here.

00:10:44I'll keep your shirt on.

00:10:47Say, Mary, be a good egg and help me fix this darn thing.

00:10:49I don't want to ruin it.

00:10:53Here?

00:10:54Yes, that's it.

00:10:59Hey, don't you wear anything under your dress.

00:11:01Don't be old-fashioned, dearie.

00:11:03You're in trouble.

00:11:04Well, I guess that'll have to do until that palooka gets here.

00:11:24Hello.

00:11:25Hello.

00:11:26Hello, National Products Corporation.

00:11:29Please call him, Mr. Burns.

00:11:31Yes, just a minute.

00:11:35The boss pays more attention to the stock market than he does his own business.

00:11:39I guess he makes a lot of money in the market.

00:11:41He has to make plenty.

00:11:43The way he spreads his door around.

00:11:45Hello.

00:11:46Hello.

00:11:47National Products Corporation.

00:11:51Yes, just a minute.

00:11:52Hello.

00:11:53Hello.

00:11:55I am ringing them.

00:11:57Just a minute.

00:11:59Hello.

00:12:00Hello.

00:12:01Hello.

00:12:03Oh, hello.

00:12:06Yes.

00:12:09No?

00:12:11Maybe.

00:12:11Harvester supplies, eight and seven-eighths, down three-eighths.

00:12:19Hardwood products, twenty-eighths, down one-half.

00:12:23Inner borough, seventy-two and one-eighths, down one-half.

00:12:26Industrial carbide, thirty-two and one-half.

00:12:28Down one and one-quarter.

00:12:30Engine oil.

00:12:31Yes.

00:12:35Yes.

00:12:37Yes.

00:12:39Yes, I know the market's shaky.

00:12:43Yes, sir.

00:12:45Well, how much do I need to cover?

00:12:46Two thousand.

00:12:48Don't get it down here by noon.

00:12:50We'll have to sell you out.

00:13:01Have Hoyt add these to his head office reports.

00:13:10Is that all?

00:13:11Yes.

00:13:16Oh, Mr. Burns.

00:13:18Yes?

00:13:19I'd like to ask your advice.

00:13:21Why, of course, Mary.

00:13:23Sit down.

00:13:24Thanks.

00:13:26Well?

00:13:28I want to make some money.

00:13:29It means an awful lot to me.

00:13:32And you know all about investments.

00:13:34Well, yes.

00:13:36I have a thousand dollars.

00:13:40I don't suppose that seems like an awful lot to you.

00:13:42Mary, a thousand dollars is a lot of money to anybody.

00:13:47Well, I thought you might be able to...

00:13:49You know, I do know of something that's likely to move up rapidly in the next few weeks.

00:13:55Well, of course, I'd like to know that it's safe.

00:13:57Well, I'm in it myself, Mary.

00:13:58That's what I think of it.

00:14:00Conservatively, I should say that you'll make $500 in less than a month.

00:14:06Well, I'd like to think it over a little.

00:14:08You'll have to decide before noon.

00:14:10But thank you.

00:14:11I will decide before noon.

00:14:12All right.

00:14:13Mrs. Burns hasn't arrived yet.

00:14:15She probably stopped downstairs to see her attorney.

00:14:19Oh, come in, Ed.

00:14:40So you're Inspector Connors now, huh?

00:14:46Yes, and I have you to thank for that, Dave.

00:14:49Nonsense.

00:14:50You deserve promotion.

00:14:51Yes.

00:14:52But if you hadn't put in a word for me with a commissioner, where would I be?

00:14:55Now, Ed, please.

00:14:57Well, I just wanted you to know how I feel about it.

00:15:00Okay, Ed.

00:15:02Good morning.

00:15:04Inspector Connors?

00:15:09Oh, excuse me.

00:15:11Excuse me, miss.

00:15:13Oh, I just love military gentlemen.

00:15:26They're so dependable.

00:15:32Oh, I'm so sorry, Mr. Whitman.

00:15:36I'm awfully nervous this morning.

00:15:39But I'll be all right.

00:15:41I just took a bromide.

00:15:42Your stomach will be as bad as your nerves if you're not careful.

00:15:46You know, I've been worrying about that, too.

00:15:49Do you suppose...

00:15:50Anyone waiting?

00:15:52Yes.

00:15:53Mr. Geller, the president of the bank.

00:15:56He says he's in a hurry.

00:15:58Well, show him in.

00:15:59Yes, sir.

00:16:04Come right in, Mr. Geller.

00:16:08Oh, Dave.

00:16:09Oh, Mr. Geller.

00:16:12What is it?

00:16:17I had to come up, Dave.

00:16:18I couldn't talk over the phone.

00:16:20It's too important.

00:16:21I've just had word that the United Mills and the Demure Estate are going to withdraw their account.

00:16:26What?

00:16:27They've been with you for years.

00:16:28Why, at this time?

00:16:29That's what I've got to find out.

00:16:31You know what it would mean to the bank's position if word got about.

00:16:34Well, you'd better send for Camel and Chadwick.

00:16:36They control those accounts.

00:16:38And get hold of a couple of your bank directors.

00:16:40It'll have to be an unofficial meeting.

00:16:42You can't take any chance of arousing suspicion, even among your own employees.

00:16:46We'll, uh, we'll have the meeting here.

00:16:49Suppose I can't convince them.

00:16:51Yeah.

00:16:51Well, you let me do the talking.

00:16:54I'll get them here as soon as possible.

00:16:56Right.

00:16:58I'm relying on you, Dave.

00:17:00Yes, Mr. Whitman?

00:17:12Bring me the tower security bank file.

00:17:16Yes, Mr. Whitman.

00:17:30Mr. Whitman, you know all my savings are in the tower security.

00:17:39So are mine.

00:17:41I haven't anything except what's in that bank.

00:17:45Do you think it's safe?

00:17:46Oh, don't be ridiculous.

00:17:48It's perfectly safe.

00:17:50Oh, I think I'll take a pill.

00:17:55I wish you would.

00:18:00Are the reports ready?

00:18:12Huh?

00:18:13Oh.

00:18:17There you are, Mary.

00:18:20There's nothing troubling you, Mr. Hoyt.

00:18:24It's my own personal accounts.

00:18:27I just can't seem to make my salary cover everything.

00:18:30And I'm supposed to be a pretty good bookkeeper.

00:18:33Oh, that's too bad.

00:18:35You see, Mary, I started married life and debt.

00:18:39And we've never caught up in all these years.

00:18:42Oh, I see.

00:18:45I wouldn't dare touch any of that money we have in the bank downstairs.

00:18:49We went without things we needed to save it.

00:18:51You know, Mary, I've seen people get rich on a shoestring investment.

00:18:58But I never could take a chance.

00:19:01I was loaded with responsibilities.

00:19:02And when you get to be my age, and anything happens to you, or your job, well, where are you?

00:19:12Now you just stop worrying.

00:19:14Nothing's going to happen to you after 14 years at the head office.

00:19:17I hope not.

00:19:22If you're looking for Mr. Clark, he's in the display department.

00:19:29You're looking in the wrong department.

00:19:31Oh, thank you.

00:19:34That guy must think I'm a bareback rider.

00:19:36Well, if he never stood up, he'd know you were.

00:19:38Well, where's that nitwit with my dress?

00:19:58Do you know Marge?

00:19:59Marge, hope.

00:20:00I don't know.

00:20:02Do I?

00:20:03Oh, I remember.

00:20:04Marge's lying.

00:20:05What does she do?

00:20:07She plunges the clock.

00:20:09So do I.

00:20:20Hello, Jimmy.

00:20:21Oh, hello, Mr. Ramsey.

00:20:23I expect to get the electrical construction on the new ramble building.

00:20:27That's great, Andy.

00:20:28I'd like to have you with me, if I get the job.

00:20:31It would mean more money for you.

00:20:33I don't know what to say.

00:20:34Well, don't say anything yet.

00:20:36I expect to know more definitely later in the day.

00:20:39Sure hope you get it.

00:20:40So do I.

00:20:41Is Mr. Whitman in?

00:21:00Well, he's always in to you, even when he's out.

00:21:07So I guess he's in.

00:21:11Oh, have you got a headache?

00:21:13Oh, just a slight one.

00:21:15Do you know I have nervous headaches all the time?

00:21:19I'll fix you up.

00:21:23Now, this works fine for me.

00:21:26Only it makes me dizzier than usual.

00:21:29But you take it.

00:21:30I'd like to see what it does to you.

00:21:31No, thank you.

00:21:32I'd like to speak to Mr. Whitman if you'll tell him I'm here.

00:21:35Well, Mr. Whitman, Mrs. Burns is here.

00:21:42She...

00:21:44Hello?

00:21:47Oh, Ann.

00:21:49Come in.

00:21:51Hello, David.

00:21:52Have you seen anything about this?

00:22:22Mr. Martin, when?

00:22:24Not in here.

00:22:25Not in here.

00:22:52You're a boy.

00:22:56Bye-bye.

00:23:01We'll see you next time.

00:23:11Good morning, Mr. Burns.

00:23:31Where's Mary?

00:23:33She said she had to go down to the bank,

00:23:35and if you buzzed, I was to answer.

00:23:39Oh, why the masquerade?

00:23:41Well, you see, I went to a party last night and...

00:23:46Oh, you're going to just broke up.

00:23:48Oh, no, it's still going.

00:23:50But I got to work on time.

00:24:00Not too bad.

00:24:04And not too good.

00:24:11Are we going places?

00:24:17Perhaps.

00:24:18I just want to see how you fit.

00:24:20You know, it takes a dress like that to bring things out in a girl.

00:24:35I didn't know you liked them.

00:24:39Your friendship had given you a chance to go home and change your dress.

00:24:44Brooklyn's a long way to go to change a dress.

00:24:46Park Avenue would be closer.

00:24:51You wouldn't fool a poor girl, would you, Mr. Burns?

00:24:54We're wasting the best years of our lives, Ann.

00:25:21And we're not getting any younger.

00:25:24That's hardly chivalrous, David, to remind me of my age.

00:25:27But, Ann, can't you see...

00:25:30I see more clearly than you in this instance, David.

00:25:33I've always hated divorce and all the ugly things that go with...

00:25:38If I must face it, it'll be alone.

00:25:41Our friends will understand.

00:25:43Oh, my dear, it's not of them I'm thinking, but you.

00:25:48I won't have your name brought into it.

00:25:50That's final.

00:25:53You know...

00:25:54It wasn't easy.

00:25:57I loved my husband very much.

00:26:00I know.

00:26:01I think I loved him even after I knew there were other women.

00:26:07I pretended I didn't know, thinking he might change as he grew older.

00:26:13Men like Burns never change.

00:26:19I know that now.

00:26:21And it came to a point that he didn't even bother to lie to me anymore.

00:26:26My pride was gone.

00:26:27You'll let me know what happens.

00:26:39Hope for me, David.

00:26:57Just a moment.

00:27:01National Products Corporation.

00:27:05Just a moment.

00:27:09National Products Corporation.

00:27:11Hello.

00:27:12Just a moment.

00:27:19Just a moment, please.

00:27:21Yes, I will.

00:27:22Oh, good morning, Mr. Brown.

00:27:27Good morning, Ms. Hoffer.

00:27:28Mr. Burns, in.

00:27:29I'll tell him you're here.

00:27:41Come in.

00:27:46Sign it sincerely yours.

00:27:48That'll be all.

00:27:48Oh, so you've made up your mind.

00:27:52Yes, sir.

00:27:53All right, Mary.

00:27:55Mrs. Burns is here.

00:27:57Oh, well, uh...

00:27:59Tell her to come in.

00:28:09People who have locks on their doors should lock their doors.

00:28:13We'll have luncheon together here.

00:28:16All right.

00:28:16Good morning.

00:28:36You might have given her time to go home and change her clothes last night.

00:28:39Won't you sit down?

00:29:02You're looking remarkably well.

00:29:05But then you never seem to change.

00:29:11And since you ask me,

00:29:13I'm quite well and doing very nicely.

00:29:17Are you really, Kenneth?

00:29:18No.

00:29:20I'm very low and practically broke.

00:29:23Oh, I'm sorry.

00:29:25I can imagine.

00:29:26Well, if you've come to gloat over me, go ahead.

00:29:35That's not what I came for.

00:29:37What then?

00:29:39Kenneth,

00:29:40I want my freedom.

00:29:45No doubt you'll be

00:29:46glad to have yours.

00:29:48I'm not so sure.

00:29:52After all,

00:29:53being married to you

00:29:54has given me certain compensations.

00:30:02Yes, Ken.

00:30:03You've gotten everything.

00:30:07Except these.

00:30:08They're your only gift.

00:30:14The only two hours of happiness

00:30:16that you ever gave me.

00:30:18Oh, I see.

00:30:20I suppose Whitman put you up to this.

00:30:25So that's why you want your freedom.

00:30:28You're in love with him.

00:30:29Yes, Kenneth.

00:30:34I want you to make

00:30:35just this one gesture of decency.

00:30:39Decency.

00:30:42You're a fine one to talk about decency.

00:30:45Now that I'm broke,

00:30:46you want to divorce me.

00:30:50Well, whose fault is it that you're broke?

00:30:53You had nothing when I married you.

00:30:55But that didn't matter.

00:30:56I gave you everything I had.

00:30:58My youth, my inheritance,

00:30:59my happiness.

00:31:01And you spent all that I gave you

00:31:02on other women.

00:31:04Please, Kenneth,

00:31:05let's not be common.

00:31:07Tell me that you'll give me a divorce

00:31:08and let me go.

00:31:10Leave me at least this one memory

00:31:12that isn't degrading.

00:31:16All right.

00:31:18I'll give you what you want.

00:31:20But it's only fair

00:31:22that I should get something out of it, too.

00:31:25But I've told you.

00:31:26I have nothing left.

00:31:27You can get anything you want from him.

00:31:31He's mad about you.

00:31:34Get him to make a settlement on you

00:31:35before you marry him.

00:31:38You're smart.

00:31:39You know how to do it.

00:31:40And what's more,

00:31:42you're worth it.

00:31:45Give me $50,000

00:31:46and I'll call it quits.

00:31:49I've got to have money.

00:31:51And you're the only thing I've got left.

00:31:53I thought I knew

00:31:56how low you were.

00:31:58But I didn't.

00:31:59Is that so?

00:32:00Well, what about you and Whitman?

00:32:02Go on.

00:32:04Divorce me.

00:32:06But before you succeed,

00:32:07I'll spread his name

00:32:08across the headlines

00:32:08of every newspaper in the city.

00:32:10I'll show up the high-minded Mr. Whitman

00:32:12for what he really is.

00:32:14I'll smash his public career.

00:32:16Let's not be common.

00:32:23Is she burned up?

00:32:45Yes, Mr. Burns.

00:32:49Any particular report on Mr. Burns?

00:32:51Oh, Walter.

00:32:54Okay, Mr. Burns.

00:32:56What are you looking for?

00:33:22I'm looking for a woman.

00:33:23That is, I mean a girl.

00:33:25Well, yeah?

00:33:26What kind of a place

00:33:28do you think this is?

00:33:29Her name is Marge Lyon.

00:33:32Well, don't peek.

00:33:33Ask for her.

00:33:35I got tired of asking for her

00:33:37on the 14th floor.

00:33:52I want a personal voucher for a thousand dollars.

00:34:13Well, you're way overdrawn now, Mr. Burns.

00:34:15Do what I tell you.

00:34:17Well, I wouldn't dare sign another voucher for you without the knowledge of the Home Office.

00:34:22You want to keep your job, don't you?

00:34:24Oh, I've got to keep it.

00:34:25Well, then get this straight.

00:34:27If that voucher isn't in my hands in a half an hour, you're through.

00:34:31Well, you don't mean that, Mr. Burns.

00:34:33You heard me.

00:34:35Now, get out.

00:34:51Yes.

00:34:52Yes.

00:34:53Just a minute.

00:34:56There's your connection.

00:34:58Yes.

00:35:02Luncheon for Mr. Burns.

00:35:04Right in there.

00:35:17And it's all set.

00:35:19Fine.

00:35:20Oh, Jimmy.

00:35:21I've got that contract.

00:35:26Gee, that's great.

00:35:27When do we start?

00:35:28In a couple of weeks.

00:35:29Oh, that's well.

00:35:30It's lunch, Sonic.

00:35:32Somebody I want to tell this story.

00:35:33Well, give her my love.

00:35:35Yeah.

00:35:36I want to tell.

00:35:46Oh, look.

00:35:47Let's go.

00:35:48Ben.

00:35:50I don't know.

00:35:51Oh, my.

00:35:52Oh, my.

00:35:52First, please.

00:35:53Life is a message.

00:35:54I don't know.

00:35:54There's a message.

00:35:55I can tell him.

00:35:55This is a message.

00:35:56Are there?

00:35:56I know.

00:35:57I know.

00:35:57You're on.

00:36:28Mr. Hoyt.

00:36:39Say, you better let me help you downstairs.

00:36:41Oh, Jimmy, I'm all right.

00:36:42Well, you don't look so good to me.

00:36:45Oh, it's just something that happened downstairs in the office.

00:36:49You mean that guy Burns?

00:36:51I'd like to get him in an alley for about five minutes.

00:36:55He's a hard man.

00:36:57No soul, no feeling.

00:36:59He makes you wonder if it pays to do right.

00:37:03Oh, Jimmy.

00:37:05Oh, Mary.

00:37:08Say, what's the idea of letting that guy keep you over time?

00:37:11Hope you like chap-egg bandit.

00:37:14Did you hear what I said?

00:37:16I wish you'd drop, Mr. Burns.

00:37:17There's nothing I'd like to do better.

00:37:24Okay.

00:37:25My goodness.

00:37:26Hey, wait.

00:37:27That's your dessert.

00:37:28Go on.

00:37:28Oh, thank you, Sandwich, huh?

00:37:41You certainly do make nice.

00:37:42Oh, thank you.

00:38:07Can you beat that?

00:38:17I've dropped my cake.

00:38:19Oh, you can have half a night.

00:38:21Oh, that'll be nice.

00:38:33Tell me, you're sick.

00:38:35I never felt so good in my life.

00:38:36And I've got lots to tell you.

00:38:38Tell me.

00:38:40Well, listen, darling, we've got to get married right away.

00:38:42Right now.

00:38:43No, Jimmy, not until we get more money.

00:38:46Say, you're looking at a guy that's on his way to be a big shot.

00:38:49Will you talk, Stan?

00:38:51Well, we're putting equipment in the new Rambler building.

00:38:54Who?

00:38:55Well, me and Mr. Ramsey.

00:38:57We settled it today.

00:38:59I'm going to be his new foreman and for more money.

00:39:02Jimmy.

00:39:03Oh.

00:39:06And that isn't all I found out.

00:39:10I went down to see the real estate man.

00:39:12I told him about my new job.

00:39:14And he said we could have the house for $1,000 down.

00:39:17What do you think of that?

00:39:18So we'll go down to the bank this afternoon and draw up the $1,000, go down and pay it on the house, and we can get married tonight.

00:39:25Oh, wait a minute, Jimmy.

00:39:26Well, what's wrong with that picture?

00:39:29Well, I can't get ready in such a hurry.

00:39:31Well, you've got a hat downstairs, haven't you?

00:39:33That's all you need with me.

00:39:36Well, what good is the house without furniture?

00:39:37Oh, furniture.

00:39:38You can buy all you want for a dollar down.

00:39:41And that's just what's wrong with the picture.

00:39:43We're not going to stop our married life in death.

00:39:51Say, are you trying to give me the runaround?

00:39:54You can't give me one good reason.

00:39:58Well, I won't leave Mr. Burns without giving notice.

00:40:01Oh, so that's it.

00:40:02Stalling me so you can keep on working for him.

00:40:06Well, we'll have a showdown right now.

00:40:08You're going to do as I say.

00:40:10You're going to quit.

00:40:11Who do you think you're talking to?

00:40:12I'm not married to you yet.

00:40:14And you're not going to dictate to me all the rest of my life.

00:40:16No, I suppose you'd rather have Mr. Burns dictate to you in his way.

00:40:20And maybe I would.

00:40:21Anyway, he's a gentleman.

00:40:23He doesn't go around bragging about socking somebody in the nose every five minutes.

00:40:27I'm beginning to see the difference.

00:40:31But, Mary, it's because I...

00:40:32Well, you've got a funny way of showing it.

00:40:34If you love me, you trust me.

00:40:35You don't.

00:40:36But listen, Mary...

00:40:36And if I was fool enough to marry you,

00:40:38you'd think I was carrying on with every man that looked at me.

00:40:40And I'm not letting myself in for that.

00:40:42Oh, but Mary, please listen.

00:40:43Oh, let me alone.

00:40:44So many things used to be able to come to mind.

00:40:46Okay.

00:40:47They're supposed to be able to enter.

00:40:48So many things used to be able to enter.

00:40:49But...

00:40:50And if I was just asät.

00:40:51And when I was dealing with my son,

00:40:52I got my son.

00:40:53I got my son.

00:40:54And if I was just asijn.

00:40:55I got my son.

00:40:56And he was looking for almost all my women.

00:40:57And I got my son.

00:40:59And I got my son.

00:41:00And he was looking for their son.

00:41:01And I got my son.

00:41:02And he went to the beginning.

00:41:04And really, when I was lucky enough,

00:41:07it was for the girl.

00:41:08So many women had me to live with all my family.

00:41:08I'm expecting Mr. Gellar with some gentlemen.

00:41:33We're not to be disturbed regardless of anything.

00:41:36I understand.

00:41:38I'll sign my mail now and get it out of the way.

00:42:08I'll sign my mail now and get it out of the way.

00:42:38I understand Mr. Gellar is holding a bank meeting here.

00:42:50Bank meeting?

00:42:52Oh, is that what it is?

00:42:54Young woman, I left a lot of important business to come here.

00:42:57Now I want to know what the trouble is.

00:42:59Trouble?

00:43:00Well, Mr. Gellar hasn't come yet.

00:43:02Will you go inside, please?

00:43:07Is this where we're meeting with Mr. Gellar?

00:43:35Yes.

00:43:36Go right inside.

00:43:47Is Mr. Burns in his office?

00:43:49Yes.

00:43:49He's got Marge in there.

00:43:51I don't know how she gets away with it.

00:43:53Yes.

00:43:54Yes.

00:43:55Yes.

00:43:56Yes.

00:43:57Just a moment.

00:43:58Hello.

00:43:59Yes.

00:44:00Yes.

00:44:01Yes.

00:44:02Just a moment.

00:44:03Everybody here?

00:44:04I guess so.

00:44:05I hope so.

00:44:06I don't know.

00:44:07Remember, young lady, we are not to be disturbed.

00:44:10My heavens.

00:44:11What are you going to do?

00:44:12I don't know.

00:44:13I don't know.

00:44:14I don't know.

00:44:15I don't know.

00:44:16I don't know.

00:44:17I don't know.

00:44:18I don't know.

00:44:19I don't know.

00:44:20I don't know.

00:44:21My heavens.

00:44:22What are you going to do?

00:44:23What's that?

00:44:24Oh.

00:44:25Yes, sir.

00:44:26No one will get near you.

00:44:28Very good.

00:44:36Oh.

00:44:37What do you know?

00:44:39God, look at that sour face of yours.

00:44:43Yeah, I saw you when you came in.

00:44:47What's the matter?

00:44:48Give me the gate.

00:44:49Give me the gate.

00:44:50Give me the gate.

00:44:51Oh, shut up.

00:45:04National Products Corporation.

00:45:06Hmm?

00:45:07Just a moment, please.

00:45:10National Products Corporation.

00:45:17Come in.

00:45:26I'm sorry.

00:45:27What is it, Mary?

00:45:28These letters, Mr. Burns.

00:45:30You forgot to sign them.

00:45:31Oh, put them down over there.

00:45:33I'll look them over later.

00:45:35Oh, Mr. Burns.

00:45:45May I speak to you alone?

00:45:48Yes, of course, ma'am.

00:45:50Oh, uh, Miss Lyon.

00:45:55Will you see if you can get that reporter on the wire again?

00:45:57Well, they said he hasn't come in yet.

00:45:59Well, try again.

00:46:00Say it's important.

00:46:05Sit down Mary. Now, what is it? This bank has always operated on a safe and sane policy,

00:46:31keeping its assets sufficiently liquid for an emergency.

00:46:36Mr. Camel, what can the demure estate possibly do with such a tremendous amount of cash? Haunt it?

00:46:43I had no such idea, Mr. Whitton. I merely thought that...

00:46:46Mr. Chadwick, your concern already has a vast cash reserve that isn't working.

00:46:52Instead of adding to it, you should be putting it back into circulation.

00:46:56But we have the privilege of withdrawal.

00:46:57Mr. Gentlemen, there are times when we must all forget our privileges.

00:47:02Today, we must think and act differently than ever before.

00:47:06Private fortunes are part of our national strength and should be used to fortify our weaknesses.

00:47:14Mr. Gentlemen, do you realize that every dollar taken out of circulation means a loss of ten dollars in credit?

00:47:25Mr. Whitton's office.

00:47:36Let me speak to Mr. Geller.

00:47:38Mr. Geller?

00:47:40Oh, um, he isn't here.

00:47:51He says, I says, both says plenty.

00:47:55He walks out only leaves me to plan.

00:47:57You've been married as long as I have.

00:48:00You know that love is a wreck, but you've got a give and take.

00:48:04The lights are plenty.

00:48:06Well, give her a raise.

00:48:09Hello.

00:48:10National Products Corporation.

00:48:12Speak to Mary Harper, please.

00:48:14Sorry, but Mary's taking dictation from Mr. Burns in his private office.

00:48:18And they can't be disturbed.

00:48:19Oh, she is.

00:48:20All right, thanks.

00:48:21So, I've got to have the money back.

00:48:22No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

00:48:25What?

00:48:26Hello.

00:48:27National Products Corporation.

00:48:29Speak to Mary Harper, please.

00:48:31Sorry.

00:48:32But Mary's taking dictation from Mr. Burns in his private office.

00:48:37And they can't be disturbed.

00:48:38Oh, she is.

00:48:40All right, thanks.

00:48:46So, I've got to have the money back.

00:48:48Half of it, anyway.

00:48:49But I've already sent the money down to the broker.

00:48:51But don't you understand?

00:48:52What, Mac?

00:48:53Pardon me.

00:48:54Hello?

00:48:56Oh, hello, Walter.

00:48:58Yes, I've been trying to get hold of you all day.

00:49:02I've got a hot story for your paper.

00:49:06It's something that'll knock a couple of reputations into a cocked hat.

00:49:10It's about a very prominent man in this town and...

00:49:15All right, you get over here in an hour and I'll give you the details

00:49:18with photographs and everything.

00:49:23Okay.

00:49:24Thanks, Walter.

00:49:27I want to give Jimmy back his share of the money.

00:49:29Then I'm through with him.

00:49:37Wait a moment.

00:49:42Mr. Whitman's office.

00:49:44This is the cashier of the Tower Security Bank.

00:49:46I know Mr. Geller's there and I want to talk to him.

00:49:48It's quite important.

00:49:49Oh, yes, I know, but Mr. Geller doesn't want to be disturbed.

00:49:58Well, all right, wait a moment.

00:50:00This audit shows that the bank is in the best possible condition.

00:50:15You men understand finance.

00:50:18The man of the street does not.

00:50:20He grasps at the slightest rumor.

00:50:22Imagine what the small depositors would do

00:50:25if they thought they were going to lose their life savings.

00:50:28Don't stop for anything.

00:50:58Get me to the bottom.

00:50:59There's going to be a run on the bank.

00:51:09Oh, excuse me.

00:51:13What's the matter with her?

00:51:14What?

00:51:14She said there's going to be a run on the Tower Security Bank.

00:51:18Tower Security Bank?

00:51:19I know so much of money, my bank.

00:51:21Let's tell them all.

00:51:22Going up?

00:51:22Let's go.

00:51:30I'm certainly sorry to have made you so much trouble,

00:51:32but I do want my money.

00:51:34You can get it for me, can't you?

00:51:37Certainly, if that's the way you feel about it.

00:51:39But you insisted on my taking it, you know.

00:51:53You brought that voucher for $1,000?

00:51:55I won't take the responsibility.

00:51:57I can't.

00:51:58Then you can take the consequences.

00:52:01You're through.

00:52:02I worked hard for you and the company.

00:52:04Go on, get out.

00:52:13Before I go, I want to tell you something.

00:52:15Everyone who works for you hates you,

00:52:17but they haven't the courage to tell you.

00:52:20Men like you always have someone in their employ

00:52:22whom they can torment and persecute.

00:52:24Someone weak and powerless who can't fight back.

00:52:27Someone like me.

00:52:29I suppose when you were retired,

00:52:30you pulled the legs off grasshoppers

00:52:31just to see them wriggle and squirm.

00:52:33I've had enough of this.

00:52:34Oh, I'm not afraid of you any longer, Mr. Burns,

00:52:37because I'm honest and you're not.

00:52:39You've been using the firm's money to gamble in the market.

00:52:42You've covered your tracks pretty well up to now,

00:52:44and maybe I can't even prove it.

00:52:46But I know you're a thief.

00:52:48Look.

00:52:58Now, get out!

00:53:03Just a minute, Harry.

00:53:05Now, you must have been paying any attention to Hoyt.

00:53:07He's excited.

00:53:08He doesn't realize what he's saying.

00:53:22There's a room in the Tarsic County bank.

00:53:32That's my last check.

00:53:32Jack's out of town and he won't be back till next week.

00:53:35My husband's insurance money.

00:53:37I know they'll go broke.

00:53:37But fun sick or fun told me.

00:53:39Please hurry, honey.

00:53:40If I leave now, I'll lose my job.

00:53:41The bank's on the bureau.

00:53:43Hurry, hurry.

00:53:43It's all we've got.

00:53:44Stop paying it on that check.

00:53:45I just put it through this morning.

00:53:46I tell you, I'm sure I put it in the black suit.

00:53:50Hurry before the bank closes.

00:53:52Pardon me.

00:53:53Is this my sign working?

00:53:54Wait a minute.

00:53:55No, no.

00:53:56Not you.

00:53:57I'm sure you'll find it in the inside pocket.

00:54:00Beautiful girl.

00:54:01I've been looking for her all day.

00:54:02Do you happen to know?

00:54:03I haven't seen your crazy bimbo.

00:54:05Shut up.

00:54:06No, no.

00:54:06Not you.

00:54:08Have you found the pants?

00:54:11And if you leave your money where it is, you will not only be benefiting the bank for performing a grave public duty.

00:54:19That is all, gentlemen.

00:54:22What do you say, Camel?

00:54:25I'll stay with you, Geller.

00:54:27So alive.

00:54:28Thank you, gentlemen.

00:54:33Oh, fool's crazy.

00:54:48You'll get your money.

00:54:49But I want it now.

00:54:51What?

00:54:53Hello?

00:54:54Yes.

00:54:56What?

00:54:57Why, I sent you down a thousand dollars.

00:55:00Your margin is gone.

00:55:00We've closed you out.

00:55:02Sorry.

00:55:02Mr. Horat was right.

00:55:07Wait a minute.

00:55:08You said my money would be...

00:55:09Well, how did I know?

00:55:10You used our money.

00:55:11Shut up.

00:55:11I won't shut up.

00:55:12You stole our money and I'm going to get it back.

00:55:14Here, wait a minute, George, little fool.

00:55:15You let me...

00:55:16Now, listen.

00:55:16Be reasonable.

00:55:17I'll get it back for you.

00:55:18Let me go.

00:55:18How about a game of golf tomorrow?

00:55:44Say, I broke money for the first time.

00:55:45Ninety.

00:55:46He's trying to hook a sucker.

00:55:47He plays under 80.

00:55:50I only knew how to thank you, Dave.

00:55:52Oh, forget it.

00:55:53That's my job.

00:55:54Are you, Mr. Geller?

00:55:58Hello.

00:55:59Geller?

00:56:00You better come down at once.

00:56:01We're having a run.

00:56:02A run?

00:56:02I'll be right down.

00:56:07How could a thing like that have started?

00:56:09Well, you have nothing to worry about now.

00:56:11Phone the Federal Reserve.

00:56:13They'll have plenty of currency on hand for morning.

00:56:15I'd suggest that you insert a full-page ad in all the evening papers

00:56:19showing the bank examiner's statement in full.

00:56:21That'll put a stop to this.

00:56:23I...

00:56:23I hope so.

00:56:29Anne.

00:56:32Tell me, my dear.

00:56:46What happened?

00:56:47Oh!

00:57:12Oh, my...

00:57:13My land.

00:57:14Anne.

00:57:16Anne.

00:57:17Now, wait a minute, Mary.

00:57:35Don't be gone, foolish.

00:57:37I tell you, you're not going to leave this office

00:57:38until you pull this out together

00:57:40and promise to keep your mouth shut.

00:57:42Sit down.

00:57:42I'm going to be gone.

00:57:44I'm going to be gone.

00:57:46I'm going to be gone.

00:57:47I'm going to be gone.

00:57:48I'm going to be gone.

00:57:49No, Jay.

00:57:50None of my bills in that bank.

00:57:52I never have it long enough to get that far.

00:57:55Well, thanks just the same.

00:57:57Hey, boys.

00:57:59Have you fellas got any dough

00:58:00in the Tower Security Bank?

00:58:02Yes, I have.

00:58:03Well, you'd better get it out

00:58:04because there's something wrong.

00:58:06See, Mary's got the passport.

00:58:07Hello, National Products Corporation.

00:58:23Sorry, but she's been in there ever since.

00:58:26Okay, sister, I'll be right up.

00:58:37Say, there's a lot of excitement downstairs.

00:58:39What's the matter?

00:58:40I don't know.

00:58:41They're acting like a lot of crazy people.

00:58:43Say, what's happened?

00:58:43I don't know.

00:58:46And then...

00:58:47I stalk him.

00:58:51Oh, I've been walking around ever since.

00:58:53I seem to be in a horrible dream.

00:58:57I tried to go away and never see you again.

00:58:59And then I realized that you guessed the reason.

00:59:05You wait here, Ann.

00:59:08Oh, no, you mustn't.

00:59:10Nothing you can say will stop me.

00:59:11I know the only language he understands.

00:59:17Oh.

00:59:24Oh, what's all the excitement about, Ann?

00:59:25Oh, there's trouble down at the bank.

00:59:27What's that?

00:59:27Tower security.

00:59:29Well, I haven't even had it.

00:59:30Well, I know somebody that hasn't.

00:59:31I'm going to give them a buzz.

00:59:32Will you give me another one, Ann?

00:59:33Here, I'm going to have a van.

00:59:34I like it.

00:59:34Why, I know...

00:59:36Let me go.

00:59:37Oh, I won't let you go.

00:59:38Jimmy!

00:59:41Now, come up to the passbook.

00:59:42There's something wrong in the bank.

00:59:43But our money isn't in the bank, Jimmy.

00:59:44He's got our money.

00:59:45A thousand dollars of it.

00:59:47He got it.

00:59:48And he lost it.

00:59:49He told me...

00:59:50Never mind what he told you.

00:59:51He'll tell me.

00:59:52Get out of here, both of you.

00:59:54Come on, Mary.

00:59:55Scram.

00:59:56No, Jimmy.

00:59:56Do as I tell you.

00:59:57I'll tell you.

01:00:09Oh, Mary.

01:00:11Oh, Mary.

01:00:11There's a run on the Tower of Security Bank.

01:00:18Yes, I know.

01:00:19I think I'll run down and find out what's the matter.

01:00:21Say, I just heard there's a run on the Tower of Security Bank.

01:00:23What?

01:00:24The Tower of Security Bank.

01:00:26Why, that's one of the strongest banks in the country.

01:00:28What did he say?

01:00:29There's a run on the bank downstairs.

01:00:30Why, I never expected that bank to fail.

01:00:32Well, hello, Frank.

01:00:34Yes, sir.

01:00:34The Tower of Security Bank.

01:00:40Well, it's sure going to be plenty tough on a lot of people who had the money in that bank.

01:00:43I don't understand how those things happen.

01:00:45Some silly rumor probably that bank is perfectly all right.

01:00:50Well, did you get your money?

01:00:51No, it was a minute too late.

01:00:52They closed the doors at 3 o'clock.
